《Rebirth In Hollywood》


 Chapter 1： North Hollywood Orphanage

    "I''m sorry, Lu Ming, I don''t want to be like this either. If we continue to be together, my father..." The long-haired girl released the hand she had held for ten years, walked away without looking back, and finally disappeared.


    "An Xin~"


    The young man named Lu Ming murmured and opened up another beer. It has been several months. Whenever he thinks of the breakup scene, he still can''t stop the tingling. After all, ten years of feelings. !


    In fact, he knew that this scene would happen sooner or later, but he always had illusions, but reality still pierced the bubble of fantasy.


    He is an orphan who grew up on the streets and in the orphanage. After graduating from junior high school, he became a film projectionist through self-study. After ten years of hard work, she became a well-known music producer, and the status of the two became farther and farther away. , One who only knows that he is obsessed with the movie, and the one who has a reputation for making money every day, it¡¯s normal to break up, isn¡¯t it?


    Those who grew up in coldness and loneliness have lost the only light and can only rely on alcohol to paralyze their nerves.


    After listening to the beer, Lu Ming suddenly felt breathless and weak. He couldn''t help but remember the alcohol allergy he had not had for many years. The last attack almost killed him!


    Is it coming to an end? He can''t lift his eyelids anymore, but his heart is full of regret. I am also a marginal person in the entertainment industry, so why don''t I know how to work hard? If you can become a dazzling star, will all this happen?


    ...


    "Wow~"


    The baby''s crisp cry sounded. Lu Ming opened his eyes and discovered the fact that it was a disintegration. He became a baby, an abandoned baby lying alone in front of the orphanage!


    Could it be...Is it reborn? Back to the time of being abandoned? Then can I show my hands and start all over again?


    As soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt dizzy and immediately realized that it was not good. The baby''s brain could not support him to think too much, and he was now deprived of oxygen.


    Damn it! Don¡¯t you just die after rebirth? Before he lost consciousness, he saw an old white lady pick him up.


    Someone from the heavens made a small joke. Although he became an abandoned child born in 1980 for the second time, his location was changed from an ancient country in the east to North Hollywood, Los Angeles. Orphanage.


    According to the sculpted English on the necklace between the necks, he has a new name-Ryan Jenkins!


    I became a kid? This is the reality that Lu Ming or Ryan must accept.


    Life in the orphanage is cold and boring. The boy always has a desire in his heart, which urges him to learn all the knowledge that can be accessed. Thanks to the extraordinary language talent in this world and the careful teaching of the old dean, he can already Fluent in listening, speaking, reading and writing English.


    Staying in the orphanage is not a long-term solution, but he didn''t know what to do, so he had to immerse himself in learning and reading as much as possible. Before he knew it, the books in the library made him look through the books several times.


    This year, in order to obtain more funding, the orphanage organized children over four to participate in the Hollywood Halloween Parade. Only then did he discover that the famous Hollywood is just south of the orphanage.


    At the moment he set foot on the Avenue of Stars, the classic movies he had watched in his previous life and the English songs he had heard flashed into his mind immediately, as if they were clearly engraved in his memory.


    The parade made him extremely clear. As time went by, the boy found that his body was much stronger than his peers, his thinking was unusually clear, he was particularly sensitive to music and rhythm, and he had an extraordinary ability to construct pictures and words.


    Although he doesn''t know if he has any talent for acting, he has been acting from the moment he opened his eyes, first acting as babies, then acting as children. In the future, he will also act as teenagers and young people, even if some people think he is a little weird. But no one has ever doubted, performance has become an instinct for him.


    Could it be that God heard the dying wish of the previous life and wanted me to go to Hollywood to roll around? Ryan understands what his desire is¡ªbecome a dazzling superstar!


    It¡¯s okay, maybe you can see some of your favorite celebrities in your previous life with your own eyes and become friends with them?


    Although Ryan knows that Hollywood is a vanity fair of reality, not a dream theater of dreams, he still set himself an unattainable goal. Since he is living again, he must realize some delusions of the previous life, right?


    With goals, Ryan is more active in learning, learning painting and music with students from the art academy who are volunteers, and learning Chinese and Cantonese with Chinese staff¡ªalways find an excuse for being able to speak Chinese.


    In short, he learned everything related to art, and tried to paint the pictures in his mind with words. After two years of repeated training, he gradually formed his own style and characteristics.


    Dean Katie had noticed the boy a long time ago. He always thought he was the smartest child in the orphanage. But what is strange is that no one wants to adopt him, and he dislikes his withdrawn and weird character.


    Ryan also has some feelings. There is no shortage of millions or even multi-millionaires among those who adopt orphans. He also dreams of becoming a family of Pin Dad in the future, but some things seem to be doomed at the moment of rebirth, until he was six years old. Live here.


    Dean Katie is the only reader of Ryan, probably because she is a Jew, and Ryan has a little Jewish relationship. She only showed a little surprise at the beginning, and gradually became accustomed to the existence of a gifted child.


    She collected all the works used by the boy to practice writing, and picked out the most outstanding science fiction novels, and mailed them to an old friend of the magazine. Unexpectedly, these novels were published.


    When Ryan saw the magazine handed over by the old dean, he understood that the hard work in the past few years has not been in vain, so let''s start for the future!


    In addition to the routine exercise and study time, Ryan devoted himself to writing, or plagiarism, and he began to adapt some famous children''s movies into novellas or short stories.


    Novels and movies are different carriers. Changing movies into texts that can not only occupy creativity but will not have a negative impact on the future. It takes a lot of hands and feet, but it does not cause too much trouble for him. With help, short stories including "Home Alone" and "Toy Story" were successfully published. The boy also received a remuneration for authorship. The old dean also specially applied for a bank account for him.


    These did not satisfy Ryan. He needs a heavyweight stepping stone. In the future, he can knock on the door of Hollywood. He set his goal on a hugely influential work-"Jurassic Park" !


    He has never read the original novel of "Jurassic Park", and can only adapt it according to the content of the movie. In order to meet his six-year-old age and identity, he put the first protagonist on the little boy instead of Dr. Grant.


    Although there are movies as a reference, the boy asked Dean Katie for help. He collected a lot of information on dinosaurs and clones. The novel with less than 250,000 words took nearly four months to complete it in repeated revisions. .


    Regardless of the beginning of the writing, or the final publication, the old dean helped a lot. This Jewish woman has an astonishing social relationship.


    In the early winter of 1986, the novel entered the top ten bestseller lists in the United States after a few months of tepidity, bringing Ryan a large share of royalties.


    At the same time, Dean Katie retired due to physical reasons. The new dean was a black woman named Messi. The boy was keenly aware that she looked at the orphan with disgust and greed.


    After the obese pig-like dean took office, the standard of living in the orphanage plummeted, and the lack of food gradually became the norm. Behaviors such as beating, scolding and insulting became commonplace. She even took advantage of the loopholes in the adoption system. Some adoption intermediaries caught up and started an''adoption'' business, and the orphans became humanoid goods.


    After reading a letter from the "Alien Body" magazine, the black dean looked at the boy, especially after using the guardian''s authority to search for his account, he was directly stunned by a string of zeros.


    Such a large sum of money actually belongs to a child. For her, what is it that is not a godsend?


    Things were not as simple as she thought. Before the old Dean Katie left, UU reading www.uuk¨¡nshu.com realized that the money might cause trouble, and specially commissioned an old friend to find a reliable lawyer for the boy. It is almost impossible to obtain this money without disturbing the lawyer. The best way is to obtain the absolute trust and support of Ryan.


    It¡¯s a pity that she didn¡¯t understand that in the boy¡¯s body, there is a soul whose intelligence is only higher than hers. Her methods of ingratiating, inducing, deceiving, etc. are as ridiculous as a circus clown in his eyes. However, the boy''s age and body disproportionate to wisdom determine that he has no actual resistance.


    Starving, reprimanding, cursing, or even beating may make other children fearful, but Ryan has never been afraid. In his previous life, he had experienced more severe tests in his childhood, and survived the more difficult ones.


    Dean Black Pig simply put him in a remote room, and let two black helpers take turns to monitor him. As long as he doesn''t give in, don''t want to be free.


    Time slipped into 1987, and Ryan ushered in the second age of seven. His sky was covered by dark clouds. The boy began to look for opportunities. Waiting and being manipulated was not the fate he wanted, although for seven years The number of times he left the orphanage can be counted with one hand, but he still wants to rush out of this cage. Only the broad sky outside can withstand his soaring wings.


    With continuous efforts, the door that locked the sky was finally removed by him. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the black helper to go to the bathroom, he escaped from the orphanage.


    When the morning light falling from the sky came into his eyes, Ryan''s body trembled slightly. He understood how precious freedom is to human beings.

 Chapter 2： 1 mermaid named Nicole

    The outside world is very exciting. The outside world is very helpless. Ryan is penniless and detained for more than half a month. He looks like a little tramp. After being refused by the convenience store owner to use the public phone, he Just died of the idea of ??contacting a lawyer immediately.


    He didn''t know anything about Los Angeles, he could only use the sun to identify the direction, hesitating and helpless, the boy embarked on the only road he remembered, the road to the Avenue of Stars!


    It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t have money to call, you can ask the police for help.


    Maybe all his luck ran out when he escaped from the orphanage, until he entered the Avenue of Stars, he did not meet an old and beautiful police uncle.


    what should I do? Standing on the Avenue of Stars, the boy shrank his shoulders, and the well-dressed pedestrian saw him as if he had encountered a plague god, how far and far.


    is a terrazzo pavement with brass stars inlaid on it. Although the names on the stars are very unfamiliar, he knows very well that they are traces of superstars.


    For his goal, for his future, Ryan gritted his teeth and stopped in front of a glamorous girl.


    "Madam, can you help me a little bit?"


    The boy raised his head bravely. At the moment when he saw the girl''s appearance, he couldn''t help but cursed, "X, God, is the thief playing with me!"


    The height of the girl is close to six feet, about 180 centimeters in metric system, she looks tall and slender. Her white skin is comparable to the freshest milk, and her curly hair is a rare golden red color, which is glamorous and glamorous. The temperament is exceptional.


    This woman is very beautiful, very attractive, younger and more beautiful than all the photos and movies that Ryan has seen in her previous life, but why did Nicole Kidman appear in Hollywood in 1987? Could it be possible that my extremely weak butterfly wings could affect Australia?


    Not long after ¡¡¡¡ Nicole Kidman came to Los Angeles, she became well-known in Australia. Just like most Australian actors, after achieving success in China, she often goes to Hollywood to seek greater development space.


    What''s more, just last year, her mother died of cancer recurrence, and then her father passed away because of excessive sadness. Nicole left this sad place and bought a real estate in Beverly Hills, intending to move the center of her career to the United States. Come.


    For Hollywood, she is a newcomer after all. Although she may not start completely from scratch, her consecutive auditions did not go well. So upset, she had to go out shopping to relieve her depressed mood.


    Before she knew it, she came to the Avenue of Stars. Looking at the stars, Nicole was a little envious and a little jealous. She knew what kind of ambition and ability she had, and she was very sure that she was in a prominent position on the Avenue of Stars. Will leave the star that belongs to me.


    Just as Nicole was thinking about her heart, a boy who was at most six or seven years old suddenly stopped in front of her and asked her for help.


    The boy was a little thin, with long light brown hair covering his head like a disheveled bird''s nest. The clothes on his body were shabby and he looked like a little tramp, but his sky blue eyes were as bright as sapphires, staring at her closely. , Which also revealed confusion and sorrow, as if the whole world had abandoned him, and she was his only hope.


    Just after the life and death with her family, Nicole was the softest time in her heart. Her eyes met the boy''s eyes. Not only her heart became cotton, but her soul trembled, as if she had come to Los Angeles and walked up. This Avenue of Stars is for this inadvertent encounter between the two.


    Ryan''s eyes were still confused, but he quickly calculated it in his heart. He didn''t expect that he would just throw a net and fished a mermaid named Nicole. If the information in the previous life is correct, she is a very Women who like children, why not make good use of it?


    Nicole didn''t know what she thought, so she agreed to the boy''s request in a daze, led him into a public telephone booth and watched him dial the phone.


    From the boy''s call, she learned that he is an orphan, and the dean of the orphanage where he is located wants to be against him. It took a lot of effort to escape from the orphanage, and she is asking for the help of a lawyer.


    The thin boy told helplessly that the miserable life experience touched the softest part of Nicole''s heart. After the boy finished the phone call, she suddenly said, "Maybe I can provide you with some help!"


    ¡­¡­


    Attorney Wilson was sent out of the house, Nicole Kidman stroking her white and smooth forehead, sat on the sofa, her face was haggard and exhausted that could not be concealed.


    "It''s finally over!"


    In order to obtain the custody of Ryan, the lawsuit was fought for several months, which not only consumed a lot of her time and energy, but also consumed all her savings.


    Nicole looked at the boy sitting next to him. Although he had a weird temper, he was smart and sensible. After getting along for a while, she fell in love with him. Even though he paid a considerable price, all of this was It''s worth it, isn''t it?


    Seeing her haggard face, Ryan was moved. He is not a conscientious bastard. For this lawsuit and to form a legal team with sufficient weight, Nicole not only sold the villa he just bought, but also sold it. car.


    Even in order to get guardianship as soon as possible, she also applied for American citizenship. Fortunately, she was born in Hawaii, and she is a person with a certain reputation and didn''t take much effort.


    Even so, she still owes a considerable amount of attorney fees to Lawyer Wilson.


    Taking the boy gently into her arms, Nicole squeezed his still thin body and said distressedly, "Ryan, there will be two of us left in the future. I will definitely raise you white and fat. "


    "White and fat?" The boy bowed his head on Nicole''s soft chest, inhaling the intoxicating fragrance, and said muffledly, "Are you raising piglets?"


    Nicole gave a light kiss on the boy''s forehead, then giggled, and sighed that the boy was agile and used this method to make her happy.


    However, thinking of increasingly tight expenses and an invitation from London, Nicole decided to ask the boy for advice.


    "Ryan, do you want to live in London for a while?"


    "London?"


    "A theater troupe invited me to perform in a stage play. I have a villa over there. This apartment can only be sold."


    Ryan understands that Nicole¡¯s financial situation is very bad and she urgently needs a job.


    Stage play can hone Nicole''s acting skills, and he can also target British novels when he lives in the UK! Ryan''s mind turned one hundred and eighty bends in an instant, leaning in Nicole''s arms and rolling his eyes, but thinking of everything the other party had done for him, he finally made up his mind.


    "Nicole, wait for me, please, I have something to show you."


    Ryan walked into his room in three steps and two steps, and quickly took out a book and a New York Times supplement from the bedside table of the child''s bed, returned to the living room, and handed it over.


    opened the page of the book, Nicole was taken aback. On the front page of the book, there was a cash check. The number on it was two...two hundred thousand dollars? Where did this money come from? Could it be a fake check?


    Nicole Kidman narrowed his eyes slightly. Obviously, this guy must have some secrets from her, thinking that he had given him wholeheartedly, and he even kept one hand, a little unhappy in his heart.


    "I''m sorry, Nicole, you know, the environment I grew up in..." The boy knew in his heart that no matter who it was, he would inevitably have lumps.


    Nicole couldn''t help but feel soft, stroked the boy''s cheek, and said, "Well then, give me an explanation."


    Listening to the boy, Nicole¡¯s mouth grew bigger and bigger, she did not expect that she would **** a super genius back!


    Half a month later, the glamorous girl and the weird boy set foot on the land of the Kingdom of Great Britain. Nicole resolutely refused the money. After discussing with Wilson¡¯s lawyer, he opened a new personal account with Citibank, and Wilson The lawyer also agreed to Nico''s request to use the real estate as collateral and to pay off the arrears later.


    The two people¡¯s new residence in London is located in Kensington. It is an independent two-story English villa. On the roof terrace, you can see Princess Diana¡¯s palace, Kensington Palace.


    In the following time, UU reading , Nicole ignored Ryan¡¯s strong protest and sent him to school. The poor child entered the elementary school for the second time, and the classroom became his job of plagiarizing the great cause. room.


    At the boy¡¯s strong request, Nicole hired a tutor for him. In addition to learning Chinese and French, Ryan started professional vocal studies. Although the style of the Philharmonic Master is far from popular music, there are many things, Often it was the master who led the way to practice personally, and his talent in music was excellent enough, and he even felt that the power to rebirth him seemed to be a pop music fan!


    London is rainy, and when the sun is rare, the two sit under a tree in the courtyard. Nicole flips through the script of the stage play, while Ryan flips through Nicole''s photo album.


    These are photos of the last two years, mostly taken by Nicole when she was in Los Angeles. The Avenue of Stars, Universal Studios, Chinese Theater, and the Sacred Citizen Auditorium can be seen everywhere in the album. Ryan can''t help but think of her previous life. I couldn''t help asking, "Nicole, you really want to go to Hollywood to develop?"


    "Yes! Only there can I become a world-class movie star and realize my dream." Nicole didn''t care who he was speaking to. "Maybe I will get the Oscar statuette in the future!"


    The boy sighed lightly. He and her are truly a perfect match, and both set the goal on that Vanity Fair.


    Ok! Miss Nicole Kidman, as a person who knows you, as a person who likes you in your previous life, I will definitely help you become the focus of everyone''s attention, and try my best to make you stand on the stage of highest honor earlier and more!


    Also, I will never let that custard break your heart again!

 Chapter 3： script

    Now that I have come to the famous metropolis of London, it is inevitable to take a tour. Big Ben, the Thames, the Victoria Tower, and the Palace of Westminster have all left the footprints of Ryan and Nicole.


    However, what the boy wanted most was another place. Under his hardship, Nicole finally took him to King''s Cross Railway Station.


    This is the most famous train station in the past life, and it is the starting point of the magical journey of the magical little wizard.


    Yes, the increasingly unscrupulous boy set his next goal on Harry Potter. Originally, this series was not in his plan. This kind of novel full of British style, if not in the UK It is difficult to write about the living experience, and he doesn''t want to make trouble by himself.


    Who would have thought that the plan would never keep up with the rapid changes. Not only did he meet Nicole Kidman, who had a very different fate, but he also followed her to London, where he will live here for the next two years, so he won¡¯t take this past life. The industrial chain that has created a value of tens of billions of dollars is included in the bag, and I am too sorry for the encounter between him and Nicole on the Avenue of Stars.


    As for whether the future Aunt Rowling will commit suicide because of hunger and cold, it is not within his consideration. After all, she is not Nicole Kidman, has no kindness to him, and has no relationship with him.


    Besides, what does the life and death of the British guy have to do with him!


    In the following year or so, Nicole devoted himself to the stage play. Ryan went to watch the scene several times and found that Nicole Kidman¡¯s acting skills were far better than when she entered Hollywood in her previous life.


    As for himself, his life is boring and boring. Class time is dedicated to the pen, exercise after school, and learn all kinds of knowledge that will help him in the future.


    In order to get rid of the bad habits formed in the orphanage between the two generations before and after, he also asked Nicole to invite a strict British etiquette teacher. He trained in his free time for a whole year, and the etiquette has formed a certain degree. habit.


    As long as he wants, he is a standard little gentleman.


    He has written the first three Harry Potter books and revised them. After entering 1988, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" was officially published and listed, just like the previous life, it did not cause a sensation.


    In addition, he also wrote a number of short and medium stories, with originals and plagiarism. The publisher simply put them together with the previously published short and medium stories and prepared to publish a "Ryan Story Collection".


    Entering the early winter season, London started continuous rainy weather. Ryan did not see the sun for half a month. Because he beat a few black boys who were bothering him at school, Nicole was invited by the principal in succession. , He was sadly suspended.


    Sitting in the room, turning the colored pencils, suddenly Nicole was arguing with a man from downstairs. Ryan simply put down the sketch at hand and quietly walked out of the room.


    "Why terminate the contract? Also, why should I withdraw the invitation of the Royal Shakespeare Company, which is a theater company supported by the royal family." The man had a very bad attitude and was questioning Nicole.


    Ryan, the man speaking, knows Nicole¡¯s agent...no, it should be the former agent. He heard Nicole say that the contract between the two parties has expired, and she is not planning to renew him.


    "I have been acting on stage for more than a year, and I don''t want to continue, I want to go back to the big screen." Nicole calmly explained.


    "Back to the big screen?" A mocking smile appeared on the corner of the man''s mouth.


    "That''s it, Mr. Henry, don''t forget, our contract has expired." With Nicole''s cold and arrogant character, of course he would not give him a good face, so he just opened his mouth to see him off.


    "Ha..." The man laughed sarcastically, "I know, you have always wanted to go to Hollywood, but you are too naive. I really think there are opportunities everywhere, ah... Maybe you can trade for your beauty..."


    "Whoo~"


    A colored pencil flew down the stairs.


    "Oh~"


    The man screamed while holding his forehead.


    Ryan sullenly, ran down the stairs, and said sharply, "Next time I will be rude to the lady, it will not be a pencil, but a shot."


    "Hey! You kid!" The man rubbed his forehead and stood up, as if he wanted to do it.


    Nicole hurriedly stood in front of Ryan, and she would not let anyone hurt her most important person, "Henry, please leave, otherwise I will call the police."


    As the saying goes, it¡¯s good to get together, but the character of this man is really not very good. Ryan remembers very clearly that there were a few times if Nicole was not clever enough, he was sold by him if he was not sure.


    "Honey, you are too reckless." When only them were left in the living room, Nicole took the boy into her arms.


    "Nicole, do you want to go to Hollywood now?"


    "That''s my dream." Nicole whispered, rubbing the boy''s head, "I told you a kid what to do. By the way, Ryan, I''m going back to Australia in the near future. London is not allowed to cause trouble."


    "Back to Australia?" The boy was puzzled.


    "A film crew invited me, um... "Cross the Horizon"!"


    Hollywood! Back in the room, Ryan rewritten the line on the drawing.


    After experiencing the explosion of information in his previous life, he knew very well that the glamorous circle was not as beautiful as it seemed on the surface, and it was a circle where male power prevailed. Nicole was helpless and wanted to gain weight. The role of the first class is very difficult, do you want her to plunge into Tom Cruise''s arms again? He would never allow this to happen.


    Ok! For our common dream, I should formally prepare!


    Nicole returned to Australia. Ryan simply asked the nanny to pretend to be Nicole and called for a long vacation from school. The next thing to do is very important for their future.


    For a long time, Ryan has written all novels. Now he is about to prepare the script. In his previous life, because of his profession, he has seen a lot of movie scripts, and he knows how to write some scripts.


    It¡¯s just that he hates little when he uses books. Although he is amazingly talented, he is not arrogant enough to know everything. He started to run frequently to bookstores and libraries, and got back a lot of books about scripts and movies.


    The most important thing is to find a suitable movie, a movie in which he and Nicole can star at the same time, to commemorate this special friendship between the two!


    Movies are deeply influenced by the social environment. Some classic movies from previous lives have been brought to the present. The most likely one is encountering Waterloo. Among all movie types, the least restricted by the times are undoubtedly horror thrillers and sci-fi movies that are out of reality. Up.


    Science fiction movies are still free, he doesn''t care, but Nicole is pretty a bit coquettish, and entering Hollywood with this type of movie will definitely become a vase.


    In fact, Ryan chose a thriller "The Sixth Sense", which was a classic movie released in 99 years in the previous life. It had a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth. It also won several Oscar nominations. In particular, the film blurred the background of the times. , Reflects one of the mainstream values ??since the 1980s¡ªfamily, affection and communication.


    Moreover, the structure of this movie is peculiar. It played a big trick at the beginning and at the end. This kind of creativity has been used up after entering the new century, but it is a completely new idea in this era.


    Also, the relationship between the little boy and the single mother in it is like the relationship between him and Nicole, and it is easier for the two to take over.


    It is not an easy task for a novice to transform the picture in his mind into the words on the script. He counts and changes the draft, and even the Harry Potter thing is thrown aside. Fortunately, he is The talent of I is indeed excellent, at least in writing scripts, not worse than the fat guy who sells video tapes.


    "The first act of the first scene, time/night. Environment/basement with dim lighting.


    Anna walked down the stairs, came to the wine rack, and picked a bottle of red wine..."


    The boy looked at the script for three months and finally came up with the first draft. He believed that there were no problems with the description of the scenes and characters, but there were many flaws in the division of the shots.


    For the time being, he sighed. In the past three months, Nicole has come back several times, but he didn¡¯t realize that what he wrote was a script. Ryan didn¡¯t plan to tell her, so let¡¯s talk about everything when we return to Los Angeles. .


    Although there is a script, the problem is still serious. He is not naive enough to think that if the script is mailed to the film company, the other party will rush over and hug his thigh. That is just a fantasy.


    What is the basis of a movie? Many people will choose the script, but except for a few top-level gold screenwriters, the status of ordinary screenwriters in this industry is so low that it is far beyond imagination.


    Just in 1988, Hollywood broke out a screenwriter strike, after which the salary has been improved, but Ryan knows that UU reading will not take a few years, and they will be beaten to dust again.


    As we all know, it is extremely difficult for newcomers to make their debut in Hollywood, especially for newcomers. If it doesn¡¯t matter, there is no middleman, and you want the film company to invest in your script...


    Obviously, Ryan belongs to this kind of person. However, he also has a strategy to deal with it, that is, the script sea tactics. With the experience of writing once, the speed of writing will be much faster when he writes again. If a script is cast, there will be no response. , Then vote for the second, third, or even eighty ten.


    Moreover, he still has a heavyweight stepping stone in his hand¡ª"Jurassic Park"!


    You know, this book has been on the top of the bestseller list in the United States since 1987, and has been there for more than 30 weeks. If he, a young author, stands at the front desk, the response can be imagined.


    Since he chose to use the script as a pathfinder, he naturally did not want to be an ordinary screenwriter. Any career in Hollywood, when you stand at the top, will become a powerful figure in this circle.


    Ryan was not satisfied with this. While constantly revising the "Sixth Sense" script, he also wrote out the outlines and settings of some classic movies in his memory. This is to prevent forgetting, even though those pictures have been carved in It''s the same in his mind, but it''s always right to be prepared.


    In the early summer of 1989, when Ryan wanted to copy more than ten copies of the script and mail it to the major Hollywood film companies, Nicole Kidman, who had been busy in Australia with "Skyline Crossing", returned to London. At the same time, She also brought her new agent.


    A woman who surprised Ryan!

 Chapter 4： broker

    Kensington is a well-known wealthy district in London. The most famous building is Kensington Palace, the residence of Princess Diana. It has only just entered the summer of 1989. This palace represents the majesty of the royal family. For most people, they are not invited.


    About one street away from Kensington Palace is the independent cottage of Ryan and Nicole. In the living room of the villa, two women and one man are sitting around a small white table, talking about something.


    "What? Are you going to be my agent?" Ryan asked a white woman in her thirties with a shrewd and capable face.


    The woman took a close look at the opposite boy. He was about ten years old. The fit dark blue dress made him look a little thin. The soft light brown short hair was glowing with golden awns, and his sky blue eyes were as bright as stars in the sky. From time to time gleaming with cunning and mature brilliance.


    Ryan was a little confused, and looked to his side. The **** and tall Nicole Kidman sat next to him, staring at him with spoiling eyes.


    She straightened her stray golden-red curly hair, and then she said, "Ryan, this is Ms. Pie Kingsley, the agent I signed some time ago, Pat, this is Ryan Jenkins."


    "Nicole..."


    The boy stopped talking, his little hand quietly held the girl''s hand, no one saw the weird look flashing across his face, it seemed intentional and unintentional, he asked the female agent a few words, and he felt 90% in his heart. Grasp of.


    Well, since he can be reborn, a certain great **** sent Nicole Kidman to him and became his guardian, so it is normal for Nicole to meet her agent in the previous life in advance, isn''t it?


    That¡¯s right, Ryan is very sure. The opposite Pai Jinsli is the agent of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in the previous life. I remember that she signed with Nicole and Tomboy in the 90s. Yeah, now it''s in London?


    Sure enough, the wings of my little butterfly still slanted the trajectory of some people.


    "You''re wandering again." Nicole gently pinched the boy''s ear. The two have lived together for almost three years. His frequent wandering is the most troublesome thing for her.


    Ryan showed a shy smile. After living in London for two years, and after being strictly taught by his etiquette teachers, he showed good manners and upbringing in every move.


    "Ryan, I actually came to London with Nicole for you!" Jinsli''s words gradually made the boy understand. He guessed something, but deliberately asked, "Me? Why?"


    Jinsli did not answer. She took her handbag and took out three books from it, one "Jurassic Park", one "Ryan Tales", and one "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" .


    are just three books that the boy has published!


    By now, if Ryan still doesn''t understand that the other party knows that the author of these three books is him, then he is really a fool. His first reaction is to look at Nicole, but the Australian girl shook his head at him and gestured. The news was not leaked by her.


    The boy could only sigh, then turned around, guessing the reason why Jinsli appeared here.


    Obviously, the other party has his own news channels and a certain amount of skill. I don''t know where I learned that I am the author of these three books. I also know that dealing with a child is not an easy task, so I simply used it in a roundabout way. Tactics, I found Nicole Kidman, who was closest to him, and gained her trust, becoming her full-time agent, and then he came all the way to London.


    In her previous life, she was able to mix well in Hollywood, and finally made Tom Cruise a disgraced face. She is indeed a person with vision and wrists, and she can find out who is the most suitable before other people pay attention. Investment target.


    Ryan is not surprised that Jinsli would take the initiative to come to him. In his previous life, he had some understanding of the brokerage industry. He knew that many brokers would take the initiative when they found a target worthy of investment. And he would be watched by this female agent, it couldn''t be more normal.


    Don¡¯t say anything else, just look at the three books on the table.


    "Jurassic Park" became the champion of the bestseller list in the United States as early as 1987. Since then, it has occupied this position for more than 30 weeks. It has sold millions of copies in the United Kingdom and the United States alone. It is in the eyes of many people. The preferred children''s book.


    Although "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" is not tepid, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just the beginning of a whole series. Since it went on the market last year, unknowingly, it has sold more than 100,000 copies.


    As for "Ryan Tales", it integrates the short and medium stories published by boys. Although it has only been published for a few months, it has unknowingly climbed the top bestseller list in the United States.


    The most important thing is that anyone who has some knowledge of the film industry will understand that the stories he wrote are very suitable for adaptation into movies. The benefits that will be obtained by then can be imagined, not to mention that he is only nine years old now, who knows him Will it be the next Stephen King or Michael Clayton.


    The fat sheep delivered to the door? The boy squeezed his chin, thinking.


    "Ryan, do you want to go back to Los Angeles?" Nicole Kidman asked suddenly.


    "Back to America?" Ryan frowned. Even though he had lived in Los Angeles for seven years, it was still a strange city.


    "It''s like this, I''m going to Los Angeles to audition for a movie in a few days, why don''t we go back together?"


    Nicole explained that the boy gradually understood that with the release of "Skyship Over the Horizon", she must have attracted a lot of attention.


    "What movie?" Ryan kept chanting in his heart, don''t be that one, don''t be that one...


    ""Thunder and Aspirations", if you pass the audition, you can cooperate with Tom Cruise!"


    This sentence is no less than a shocking thunder for Ryan. Nicole is one of his favorite movie stars in his previous life. No one in this world knows better than him what will happen when he participates in "Thunder and Aspirations."


    She will fall in love with Brother Tom, and get married after the movie is released. Not long after that, there will be irreconcilable conflicts. In the end, her body will be injured. When she divorced, she was caught by the notorious Italian hired by Liangtang and had to The divorce agreement was signed humiliatingly.


    Is the inertia of the historical wheel so great? Will Nicole''s deviated life trajectory be pulled back to the original path in just two years? This is definitely not the result he wants to see. After more than two years of living together, he and her have long developed a deep friendship. He will never allow the person he likes and loves to suffer any harm, even the slightest. No way!


    "Don''t you want to go back to Los Angeles?" Nicole was a little strange, but it was his hometown.


    "Oh, no, it just suddenly remembered something else." The boy changed the subject without leaving a trace, looked at the female agent, and asked very directly, "Pat, you are Mr. Cruise''s agent. ?"


    "of course not."


    Although a little strange, Jinsli denied it without any hesitation, "Actually, I only have Nicole in my name."


    Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. Nicole¡¯s yearning for Hollywood couldn¡¯t be more clear to him. If that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s go back to Los Angeles. After several years of preparations, the plan...start!


    He still doesn''t believe it. If he strongly disagrees, relying on such a long time of love and relationship, he can''t compare to a butterscotch.


    Besides, with mental arithmetic and unintentional, he will naturally use some means to make Mr. Tom Cruise know it is difficult to retreat.


    To enter the Vanity Fair, a skilled agent is a must. Ryan quickly reached an verbal agreement with Kingsley. As for the formal contract, he has to wait for his return to Los Angeles to be reviewed by his full-time lawyer, Mr. Wilson. , Can be signed.


    Since he was leaving London, there will be a series of things to deal with next. Ryan visited the tutors who had taught him one by one, especially the masters of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Although they were hired heavily by Nicole, if not With their careful instruction, it is difficult for a boy to have the musical literacy of today. You know, he can now make some not too complicated pieces, and the piano and guitar are also of professional level.


    After going to school with Nicole to go through the withdrawal procedures, all that is left is to pack the luggage.


    He doesn¡¯t have many things. The instruments he uses for practice are only ordinary brands. You can buy them again after returning to Los Angeles. The most precious thing is manuscripts full of suitcases. UU Reading www. If uukanshu.com is seen by friends from previous lives, they will definitely smash their chin on the floor. Look at the names on these manuscripts¡ª"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" "The Sixth Sense", "Titanic" and so on.


    Ryan thought for a while, and took out the script "Sixth Sense" and the novel "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". This should be something you can use immediately after returning.


    Of course they are all duplicates. He will not give the original manuscript casually. Otherwise, what if someone sells it?


    "Ryan, do you need my help?" Pie Jinsli knocked on the door and walked in. What she saw was the suitcase full of letters, and she was dizzy.


    "Pat, this is the second episode of Harry Potter. After I go back, I will give it to the "Alien" publishing house. This is "Sixth Sense". You can read the script first. If you can, copy more. Go to the major film companies.¡± He passed the two manuscripts directly. Hollywood newcomers have trouble making their heads, so he will use the script to bombard himself. Now that he has an agent, these errands and chores are just fine. Leave it to her.


    "The play... the script?" Jin Sili looked at it quickly, her eyes brightened as she looked at it, and gradually realized that she might have opened up a gold mine. "Leave it to me. In fact, I There is some relationship with the major film companies."


    It turns out that God still treats me well! Ryan''s mouth twitched, it''s better to have a relationship than random shots, really can''t underestimate Pie? Jinsli.


    When ¡¡¡¡ went out, Jin Sili glanced at the suitcase again, and the corners of her mouth trembled uncontrollably. Wouldn''t it be full of manuscripts of this level?

 Chapter 5： Audition

    Compared to London, Los Angeles, which used to live for seven years, is even more strange to Ryan. After replacing some furniture, the apartment once again became his and Nicole¡¯s home. It was Nicole, who had a lot of funds on hand, but it was not easy to find a suitable house, not to mention that Nicole wanted to live in Beverly Hills with all his heart.


    "Damn it, it''s really troublesome for women to change clothes!"


    After watching for half an hour, the boy waited on the sofa in the living room and couldn''t help muttering.


    Jinsli just smiled when she sat opposite. The two had signed a formal contract. After half a month of getting along, she gradually understood some of the boy''s situation and knew that he was smart and precocious, and she couldn''t use him as a child at all. Look, sometimes she even feels like she is talking to a peer.


    Ryan looked at the wall clock on the wall. It was really boring. He turned to look at the manager lady, "Pat, is there no news about the script yet?"


    "Relax, Ryan, I personally handed the script to Harvey Weinstein. I have something to do with the two brothers. Whether it is adopted or abandoned, they will notify me as soon as possible."


    Jinsli has read the script carefully. Although she is a layman for screenwriters, a good story always resonates with people. In her opinion, unless the Weinstein brothers get a water in their heads, they will definitely see the script. Where the value lies.


    sighed, the boy understood that he was a little anxious, but Jinsli''s network of connections really made him admire.


    In this case, Ryan is also happy to leave the matter to her to deal with. As for Nicole, it is better to be her female movie star with peace of mind.


    "Ryan." Nicole''s voice came from another room, "Why is my shoe cabinet locked? Did you see the key?"


    "No." The boy subconsciously touched the brass key in his pocket, and denied it.


    "Damn it! Do you want me to audition in slippers?" Nicole''s angry voice came from the room again. Ryan rolled his eyes and said loudly, "Nicole, you are not in the shoe cabinet at the door. Did you buy new shoes yesterday?"


    "Really? Why don''t I remember."


    Nicole drew light makeup, patted his head and walked out of the room, opened the shoe cabinet in the hallway, and took out a pair of high heels. The four-inch high heels were long and pointed, but they were Nicole''s favorite. .


    After putting on the high heels, Nicole became taller, and the corner of the boy''s mouth showed a faint smile. Those shoes he chose to put in it, I hope they can come in handy.


    The location of the audition was at Paramount. Just in case, Ryan took advantage of the privileges that belonged to the child and got into the car shamelessly. Faced with Nicole¡¯s questioning, he plausibly defended, "I just want to see the audition. What''s it like? Besides, the film company did not stipulate that except for the agent, no one else can be brought to the audition."


    Sitting in the back seat of a moving car, Nicole always felt that the boy was planning something. In any case, the two had lived together for such a long time. She always had a keen intuition for some of his actions, but she wanted to think about it. , And did not notice anything wrong.


    On the benches outside the audition room, the three people waited quietly. Ryan overheard the discussion of several staff members, only to find out that Tom was actually the screenwriter of this movie. Even if he wanted to come, he was so cool and handsome. Isn¡¯t it the style that Liangtang has always done to highlight the idol¡¯s personal charm?


    The boy shook his head. Because Nicole has been acting on stage in London for more than a year, Nicole''s acting skills are much better than in the same period in her previous life. If she still wins the heroine of this movie, although she can open the situation in Hollywood, but The title of the vase is likely to be real again. This is not a good thing. She is already too beautiful. If she is put on such a hat again, it is inevitable that she will not walk the same way in her previous life.


    "Ryan, and Pat are waiting here calmly, don''t make trouble!" Before entering the audition room, Nicole hadn''t forgotten to give a word. Obviously, in the past two years, the boy has been tossing about all kinds of things. Come.


    "Can''t I go in and have a look?" Ryan blinked and tried to pretend to be innocent. Not to mention, after so many years of acting, he completely deceived the Paramount staff. Nicole directly warned against the glamorous girl who was so familiar with him, "Do you want me to send you to boarding school?"


    The boy immediately became honest, but he began to mutter in his heart, okay, now you are my guardian, I don¡¯t care about you, when I turn sixteen, let¡¯s slowly calculate this sum of money.


    After a while, Ryan simply chatted with Jinsli. The content of the topic was naturally inseparable from the Vanity Fair of Hollywood. It was not until more than forty minutes later that Nicole walked out of the audition room, but when she went in, it was When one person came out, they became two people.


    As for the extra person, Ryan really didn''t want to see it, it was Tom Cruise!


    Although Brother Tom wears internally increased shoes, he is a lot taller than his actual height of only five feet and seven inches, but he is at least five inches shorter than Nicole who is in high heels.


    As long as he looks down at Mr. Cruise''s movements when Nicole turns his head to talk, the boy will be delighted, not wasting the high heels he specially selected.


    However, the scene he carefully planned was destined to only be his own joke. Brother Tom didn''t seem to mind Nicole''s height. When he walked in front of Ryan and his agent, he sent out an invitation, "Nicole, no If you mind, can I invite you to dinner?"


    Mind! I really mind! Ryan''s eyes widened and stared straight at Brother Tom. If his eyes could kill people, this suave custard boy would have been battered.


    "It''s a great honor!" Nicole is a long-sleeved dance character in her previous life or in this life. Naturally, she would not refuse. After thanking her, she originally wanted to introduce the two people in front of her. Who knows, Mr. Cruise simply turned a blind eye and said directly. , "There is a restaurant in Beverly Hills that is very distinctive, how about we go there?"


    "not good!"


    Before Nicole could answer, Ryan jumped off the bench, held his chest and squeezed his chin, squinted at Brother Tom, deliberately circled him and Nicole, and suddenly said to Nicole, " Mom, you said you would take me to eat Chinese food in the evening."


    Mom? Nicole''s eyes widened suddenly, but she knew the boy after all, and instantly realized that this guy was going to play tricks again.


    Brother Atang was so shocked that his chin was almost falling to the floor. He did not expect that this Australian girl who was so amazing to him would have such a big son.


    "Ryan, what about your etiquette and education?" Although Nicole didn''t understand the principle of not playing the house for three days, Nicole knew that he couldn''t look good. After reprimanding, he explained to Tom, "This It¡¯s Ryan Jenkins, my brother, a bit too naughty, Tommy, don¡¯t mind."


    then introduced the female business man to Tom Cruise.


    It¡¯s better to face Ryan, but when facing Ms. Jinsli, Brother Tom is very proud, like a peacock that is opening the screen, probably this is the aura of a big star.


    "It''s nice to meet you, Mr. Tom Cruise."


    Perhaps Brother Tom didn¡¯t know that there was a trick called face-changing in China, but if you look at the boy¡¯s performance now, you can get a glimpse of the truth.


    Ryan knew that he was light-hearted, unless he was shameless, it would be difficult to influence Nicole¡¯s opinions on such trivial matters as dining. He simply took out his signature book and pen from his backpack and handed it over, ¡°Can satisfy one The wish of a little fan?"


    "Of course you can." Brother Tom quickly stroked on the notebook, "Ryan, I wish your life will always be full of sunshine and happiness!"


    As long as you don¡¯t take away my Nicole, there will always be sunshine and happiness in my life! This was the only thought the boy had when he put away the autographed notebook.


    The Bentley sports car sprinted all the way and drove into the range of Beverly Hills. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman sitting in the front row, handsome men and beautiful women, look like a natural pair.


    But Ryan looked from the back row, and in any case felt that the distance between the two people was as far as Sydney to Los Angeles. If he stretched out his hand in it again, he would definitely be able to create a maria under the calm sea. Take the great ditch.


    What Ryan did not expect was that Brother Tom seemed to take his words seriously, and he actually took them to a Chinese restaurant. Looking at the MrChow on the sign, the boy muttered in Chinese, it turned out to be Mr. Zhou¡¯s restaurant, no Know that the taste is not authentic.


    After entering the restaurant, unlike what the boy imagined, the restaurant is decorated in a Western style. After all, Brother Tom is a big star. The waiter directly led them to a quiet partition. After a few people sat down, they were served. menu.


    The boy sat next to Nicole and looked at the waiter calmly. He had dark eyes, black hair and yellow skin. He should be of Chinese descent. Seeing his manner and temperament, he was at most a first-generation immigrant. Many international students who work here have come to the United States from the other side this year.


    "Ryan, what do you want to eat?"


    The question was Brother Tom. Although the boy''s behavior was a little jumpy when he first met, he later showed good manners and upbringing in both his speech and manners. With his somewhat thin appearance, it is difficult for people to stop. Feel good.


    It''s a pity that Tom Cruise won''t understand that it''s a boy like that.


    "Can I order it myself?" Ryan blinked his bright eyes. He looked like a very cute boy, and Brother Tom laughed directly, "Of course. But Ryan, do you know Chinese food? "


    "In fact, Ryan is studying Chinese culture and has some understanding of Eastern food and customs." It seems that the knowledge that the boy has is Nicole''s greatest pride.


    Tom Cruise just smiled and handed the menu to the boy. Ryan glanced at the English-speaking menu, probably because of the translation. The names of most dishes were difficult for him to understand. , UU reading had to scratch his head, looked at the Chinese waiter, and asked, "Is there a Chinese menu?"


    "Chinese...Chinese?"


    The boy''s questioning question was a little bit of Mandarin. The waiter could obviously understand it, but it was still fluent in Mandarin. He was stunned by a blond kid who was stunned unconsciously.


    "Sorry, we don''t have a Chinese menu."


    Just as the boy guessed, the waiter was really an overseas student. While cursing and **** in his heart, he was expressing apologies in his mouth.


    "Okay." Ryan just thought for a while, and burst out a list of hometown dishes, "scallion fried sea cucumber, Texas grilled chicken, nine-turn large intestine, sweet and sour carp, and Kung Pao chicken."


    The waiter couldn''t help but drop a black line. He didn''t expect this little ghost guy to be so familiar with domestic cuisine. He had never eaten some of the names he reported.


    Of course, Texas grilled chicken, nine-turn large intestine, and sweet and sour carp are not available. After the waiter explained a few words, the boy didn¡¯t want to embarrass others. He asked Nicole¡¯s advice and ordered spinach boiled prawns for the two. Huadiao Fugui Chicken, Crab Yellow Steamed Buns, and also ordered a piece of boiled pork separately.


    Since it is Chinese food and western food, after Brother Atang ordered the meal, Ryan specially ordered in Chinese, "My dishes should be authentic Chinese methods, and the boiled pork slices should be put in more chili and red oil. Be sure to eat it. The kind that makes your head sweaty with a spicy bite."


    The waiter carefully recorded the boy''s request, but after turning around, he rolled a big eye, **** kid, wouldn''t he be afraid of being killed by pepper?

 Chapter 6： Chili water wash your face

    "Yes, I just finished the filming of "Born on July 4" some time ago. Director Oliver Stone is confident that I will get an Oscar nomination for best actor with this movie."


    While waiting for the dishes, Tom Cruise and Nicole seemed to have a very pleasant chat, especially those interesting stories and rumors about Hollywood, which were quite fascinating to tell from the population in his circle.


    "Then I wish you a harvest at the Oscar next year." Nicole complimented him slightly.


    reward? Harvest air? Ryan was calm on the surface, but snorted disdainfully in his heart. You won''t get a golden figure in another twenty years!


    "About "Thunder and Aspirations", the person I like most is you, but you know, this kind of thing is not my sole responsibility." Tom Cruise''s words seem to have no meaning.


    "It doesn''t matter." Nicole didn''t seem to care at all. "Of course it would be best if the audition passes. If it fails, I believe we will have other opportunities for cooperation in the future."


    Hearing Nicole''s words, the boy''s heart was half-hearted. Everyone wanted to pursue fame and wealth, but if he blinded his heart for fame and wealth, it would not be worth the loss. Although the girl around him was ambitious, her brain remained sober.


    The dishes were ready soon. Ryan¡¯s share was obviously different from the other two, especially the red-boiled pork slices. Nicole who was watching was only speechless, not to mention eating, but she just smelled the smell. I felt sweat beading on my forehead.


    Whether it¡¯s scallion fried sea cucumber and Kung Pao chicken, or other dishes and crab buns he ordered later, they are definitely the most delicious food the boy has eaten since his rebirth. Even though he has eaten Western-style meals for almost ten years, his stomach adapts early. Food such as butter bread, but those things deeply buried in the soul will not change over time.


    Especially the sliced ??boiled pork specially requested, not only made him secretly addicted, but also added countless confidence in whether the bright red soup can work.


    Frankly speaking, although Tom Cruise is a bit arrogant, the star''s frame is a little bigger, and there are many common problems of young people who have become famous, but he is handsome, elegant, and talkative. During the meal, Not only made Nicole amused and giggled, he didn''t ignore even people like Ryan who didn''t have much sense of existence. He often talked to him about topics full of childishness.


    Looking at Nicole who had a pleasant meal, Ryan could only sigh secretly. In all fairness, Brother Tom did have the capital to attract any woman, and it was normal for Nicole to have a good impression of him.


    However, he would never bow his head to the wheel of fate. In any case, he would not let these two people come together again.


    Looking at the boiled pork slices with almost only Hongyanyan soup left, Ryan had a sly smile at the corner of his mouth. Nicole seemed to have a close relationship with him, and suddenly watched it vigilantly. Fortunately, the boy had been acting continuously for more than nine years. The show was over, the face-changing skill had already been perfected, and his normal face was restored in an instant.


    "Nicole, let me use the mobile phone. I remembered something to ask Pat." Ryan didn''t even turn his eyes, so he found a good excuse.


    "What''s the matter?" Despite the question, Nicole took out the cellular phone that Motorola had just launched this year.


    After receiving a mobile phone that was much smaller than the big brick, Ryan pushed aside the chair and was about to stand up and go to other places to make a call. It seemed that his legs were a little numb after sitting for too long, and his body was crooked, although he did not fall. It fell, but the mobile phone held near the shoulder inevitably slipped from the hand and fell into the red soup on the dining table.


    "Be careful!" Nicole and Tom had already reminded him when he was slanted.


    "Hey~ phone!" Ryan moved very fast. He didn''t wait for the mobile phone to fall, and picked up his hand, but his movements were too violent and too fast, and he inevitably lost his balance, in order to prevent his whole body from hitting the table. , The other hand had no choice but to prop up the front.


    "Wow~"


    The boy¡¯s hand, unbiasedly, landed on the edge of the soup bowl facing Mr. Cruise, perhaps because the pressing force was a little bit strong, or perhaps he used skillfully, nearly half a bowl of red oily soup flew in the air. To the front.


    Although most of the soup fell on the dining table and clothes, part of it still fell on that handsome face. The taste of this chili water washing face was unbearable even for many revolutionaries back then, not to mention a butter niche. .


    "Ahhh~"


    This bowl of boiled pork slices was specially ordered by Ryan to add more chili. The hot taste after falling on his face will definitely not be good. Brother Tom hides his face and screams for the first time. Fortunately, he still remembers this. It was a public place, trying to suppress my voice.


    "I''m sorry, Tommy!" Ryan apologized in a hurry, almost sprinting at a speed of 100 meters, ran to Tom Cruise''s side, like a kid who did something wrong and eager to make up, picked up the pure white The napkin helped the owner of that handsome face wipe it up, but after the napkin turned red, he always wiped Tom''s eyes intentionally or unintentionally.


    Seeing that he was about to succeed, suddenly a white wrist came out from behind and grabbed Ryan''s hand with great accuracy. Nicole glared at him without a trace, and said before the waiter rushed over, "Tang Mi, I apologize to you for Ryan, do you want to see a doctor?"


    Maybe the hot and uncomfortable taste has passed, or maybe it is to maintain the demeanor in front of the beauty. Brother Tommy rubbed his handsome red face on a napkin and said generously, "It''s okay, it''s just an accident."


    , after all, is just a child over nine years old. With his status as a big star, is he really embarrassed to care about a child?


    After several waiters and a person in charge of the restaurant arrived, Ryan continued to apologize, as if he was very guilty of the accident, but he was happy in his heart. Not only did Mr. Cruise''s well-fitting dress become a big face. , Even the handsome face turned into Guan Erye, especially the eyes, which seemed very uncomfortable. He often squeezed and squeezed, and it was still watery inside, and tears would flow down at any time.


    In any case, Tom Cruise is a public figure, it is impossible to show people in this shape for a long time. After a few brief words with the person in charge, he went to the changing room specially prepared for the rich and famous in the restaurant. .


    Naturally, this dirty dining table can¡¯t stay. Nicole and Ryan simply changed places. While waiting for Mr. Cruise, Nicole Kidman¡¯s blue eyes always Inadvertently drifting past the boy, his already glamorous temperament seemed to have a tendency to change like an iceberg.


    "Sorry, Nicole, screwed up your dinner with Mr. Cruise."


    Ryan returned the mobile phone back with a sincere expression. Seeing Nicole''s calm expression, the sincerity on his face became anxious in a moment.


    "You are really bigger, the less reassuring." Nicole sighed, grabbed the boy''s little red hand, and wiped it carefully with a napkin, like a serious look. It''s just wiping the most precious porcelain.


    This dinner that was supposed to belong to Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman had a happy start, but ended with an awkward end. After Tom¡¯s clothes were changed, the dinner was gone. It is necessary to continue.


    Apart from anything else, this big star is indeed very graceful, at least in front of beautiful women. Not only did he not blame Ryan, but he said a few words to clarify him, and even sent the boy and Nicole back in the car. They are located in the apartment in Westwood District.


    "Goodbye, Tommy, you are the best star I have ever seen."


    After getting off the sports car, Ryan did not give Nicole and Brother Tom a chance to speak, and waved goodbye to him directly.


    "Well, good night, Nicole, and Ryan."


    Back at the apartment, Ryan threw his backpack on the sofa, stretched out a long waist, and felt extremely happy. As expected, he had great joy in fighting against the sky, fighting against the earth, and fighting against others. It''s even more fun.


    Although what happened at night is an accident no matter how you look at it, Ryan feels as smart as Nicole and seems to have noticed something. However, he is not worried. Even if the Australian girl gets the handle, it is at best. A fierce reprimand is nothing to him.


    Even so, he thinks it¡¯s better not to dangle in front of Nicole. After saying good night, he simply hid in his room, took a shower and changed into dry clothes, and sat at the desk for more than three years. Come, the writing career that consumed most of his time.


    After the third part of Harry Potter was revised, this series was temporarily put aside by the boy. Anyway, the creativity has been occupied, and the next few parts are turning into adulthood. You can wait a few years before writing.


    Since entering 1989, most of his energies have been on the screenplay. Because of his work as a film projectionist in the past, his greatest interest is still in the film. He has studied the scripts of many classic films, and he is now in the world. In those two years in London, I did not read less books in this area.


    Perhaps the script he wrote now has many flaws in the division of shots, but it is definitely not worse than any newcomer screenwriter.


    For English, typewriters and computers are undoubtedly faster than handwriting, especially when writing like Ryan, who rarely thinks for a long time.


    But the typewriter is too bulky and inconvenient to carry, and the configuration of the notebook and the DOS system can directly make him vomit blood.


    Damn Bill? Lit, can''t you release the Windows operating system earlier? Lifting the pen, the boy shook his wrist and complained again in his heart.


    What he writes now has nothing to do with the movies and novels in the memory of previous lives, but borrows some rumors on the Internet and the shameless behavior of a certain country. Strictly speaking, it can be counted as his own original work, although it is only It''s a short novella, but it''s an improvement for the boy, isn''t it?


    The novel has actually been written, and now it is more about revisions. In any case, he wants it to be published smoothly, although with the increase in the number of his works, he has established a considerable relationship with the "Aliens" publishing house. But if the work is too bad, it is also slapped in the face.


    It is uncountable how many times after reviewing this manuscript, Ryan finally lifted his pen and added the name of this original short novelette on it.


    If someone from a previous life reads the name of the novel, they will definitely get their eyes popped first, and then burst into laughter, because the name of the novel is "The Greatest Country in the Universe and the Zenith Star"!


    Ok! The boy admits that he sometimes has too much nasty fun. The strange country today has not shown a thick skin comparable to the diameter of the earth, but it is not very interesting for a certain country-although the other party will not understand it now-to open a group of ridicules. Something?


    Originally, Ryan wanted to write an article "The First Military Power in the Universe and Its Invincible Fat Marshal", but after thinking about it, he gave up. In the future, the three fat guys will completely turn the country in the north of the first power into hereditary. Let''s talk about it during the dynasty.

 Chapter 7： Find a film company

    Nicole Kidman was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face, with an iceberg-like sharp edge all over her body. Although she was very angry in her heart, she didn''t say any serious things. First, the boy on the other side would just be a deaf ear. , The second is that I can''t bear to scold him in my heart.


    If the things that happened the night before only caused her doubts, plus the things that happened today, she could no longer see that this little guy was planned and premeditated, then she would be a fool.


    At the thought of putting the famous Tom Cruise''s pigeons all morning, Nicole Kidman couldn''t help but want to cover her forehead. She didn''t expect that she just went to the supermarket and the big star actually called home to make an appointment. She went out, and while the **** Ryan agreed to the report, he pretended that nothing happened and didn''t even mention it for most of the day.


    If it weren''t for Tom Cruise, after waiting for nearly a morning, he couldn''t help but call again, I''m afraid he was still kept in the dark.


    "Are you deliberate?" Nicole raised his head and glanced at the unscrupulous boy. He had no sense of making a mistake, and replaced it with a positive tone, "You deliberate! It was also deliberate the night before!"


    Ryan didn''t expect to be able to hide from Nicole, so he spread out his hands and shrugged.


    "Ryan Jenkins, what do you want to do?" Even though Nicole''s fire pressure has increased and suppressed, this slow and slow sentence makes people shudder after hearing it, "Do you know that this will bring What kind of consequences?"


    She has never underestimated the boy''s wisdom, and sometimes even thinks that Ryan is smarter than herself. She absolutely doesn''t believe that he can''t see it. Doing so will ruin her audition.


    Of course, judging from the cold tone when Tom Cruise hung up the phone, it was a fact that the soup was in the water.


    "You have a good impression of him, don''t you? Nicole." Nicole Kidman on the opposite side was a little dazed by him, "Don''t deny, I''m not a fool."


    Nicole felt a headache for the boy''s precocity for the first time. After hesitating, she nodded, "I have a good impression, but only a little."


    "I don''t like him, I don''t like him very much!"


    Nicole was taken aback by what the boy said. After living together for several years, it was the first time that she heard him express his likes and dislikes so clearly.


    With just this sentence, Nicole thought she understood why he did it. Without even thinking about it, she made a decision in her heart, "Well, Ryan, since you don''t like him, I will try to keep dealing with him as little as possible. "


    The boy thought he would have to spend a lot of words and hands, but he didn''t expect Nicole to make a decision so quickly. From this he also saw his place in her heart. There were a thousand words to say for a while, and finally It only became a sentence.


    "Thank you, Nicole."


    Nicole didn''t say anything, but walked over and hugged the boy forcefully into his arms. He felt her coldness and she felt his warmth. At this moment, it seemed that there were only girls and boys left in the world, and she was his. Rely on, he is everything to her.


    "Ryan, if you don''t like it in the future, please tell me directly? Don''t worry me."


    "Um~ thank you, Nicole."


    "It''s a pity that this opportunity." The duck that was about to get it flew like this, and Nicole couldn''t help but sigh.


    "Come on, Nicole, that role is not for you at all."


    The boy who was less than ten years old got up from Nicole¡¯s arms, and put on a somewhat funny appearance that he wanted to talk about. Anyway, this kind of conversation often happens between the two, Nicole doesn¡¯t mind, "Rui Well, I know you are both smart and precocious, but do you really understand movies?"


    "Who said I don''t understand movies?" The boy''s nostrils were almost facing the ceiling.


    "Well, then you always have to say the reason."


    "I''ve heard Pater talk about the general content of this movie. The heroine is completely a vase. She only needs to show her style and figure. There is no room for acting." Ryan paused and watched again. Nicole¡¯s glamorous face was touched, "You know what, Nicole, you are a bit too beautiful, of course, this is an advantage, not a disadvantage. I can imagine that if you play this role, you will definitely be It is qualitatively a vase. It will be no ordinary difficulty if you want to turn around. Could it be that you are willing to make a vase?"


    Although Ryan¡¯s words are a bit unacceptable, how can Nicole Kidman not understand the truth, but she desperately needs a work to open up the situation in Hollywood and gain a foothold, but she is listening to these words Later, the first thing I think about is not myself.


    "Ryan, you little devil, when did you study movies again?" Just as soon as he finished speaking, Nicole remembered that when he was in London, this guy bought a lot of movies and scripts. Writing books, can''t it be said...


    "Does this still need to be studied? Don''t forget, I am a genius!"


    The image of a big red-haired monkey suddenly flashed in front of the boy''s eyes, making him unable to resist a chill, and quickly shook his head to stop his cranky thinking.


    The black Cadillac slowly parked in the small parking lot in front of the apartment. In the back seat of the car, a fat-headed middle-aged man with some Jewish characteristics looked at the woman next to him and asked again. "Pat, is this script really written by a ten-year-old child?"


    "Correct, Harvey, Ryan is just over nine years old, less than ten years old."


    are all mixed in this circle. See you when you look up and lower your head. Send Jinsli and him barely count as friends.


    "I''m just a little surprised. This is incredible. Although this story is related to children, this kind of movie full of loneliness and affection does not seem like a child can write it."


    As he walked towards the apartment, Harvey Weinstein couldn¡¯t help but say a few more words, while Ms. Kingsley smiled clearly, ¡°Harvey, in fact, after you saw the boy, There will be no more thoughts like this."


    "Really?" He knows something about Jinsli. Since she can be so praised by her, maybe the boy named Ryan is really different. "Then I will wait and see."


    The door bell of "Ding Dong" rang, and Nicole just thought of standing up and opening the door, but Ryan jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the door a few steps.


    "Hi, Pat, you finally came." The boy greeted the female agent first, and then looked at the big fat man behind. Although it was a little different from the image in the impression, he recognized it instantly.


    "Hi, Ryan, and Nicole." Entering the small living room of the apartment, Pai Jinsli introduced the two parties, "This is Mr. Harvey Weinstein from Miramax Films, haha. Wei, these two are Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman."


    After a few simple greetings, Weinstein entered the topic, "Miss Kidman, are you Ryan''s guardian?"


    "Yes." Although in a state of confusion, Nicole nodded.


    "That''s it, Miramax Pictures decided to buy the "Sixth Sense" script..." Before Harvey Weinstein finished speaking, Nicole interrupted, "The script? The Sixth Sense? What? script?"


    Following her question, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became a little weird. Nicole Kidman and Harvey Weinstein¡¯s eyes fell on Pie Jinsli almost at the same time, obviously wanting She gave an explanation.


    Jinsli looked at Ryan, and saw that he was sitting still, motionless, no need to ask. It must be that this little guy did not tell Nicole about the script and their visit today, so she had to explain, "Ryan gives I gave me a script he created, and I gave it to Miramax Films. After reading it, Harvey decided to buy the script. I called this morning and it seems that Ryan should have forgotten to tell you. Up."


    "Ryan~" Nicole looked at the boy.


    "Nicole, I just want to surprise you, well, I apologize."


    Ryan explained to Nicole clearly the reason for the matter in a few words. The script was written by him when he was in London, and then it was given to Pie Kingsley. In the morning, the other party called and he deliberately wanted it. Surprise her and hide it. UU reading www. uukanshu.com


    "My dear, you scared me a bit. I know that when you were in London, you had read a lot of script writing books, but I didn''t expect..." Nicole shook her hand unconsciously, seeming not to know what to say. That''s good, after calming down, he looked at the man opposite, "I''m sorry, Mr. Weinstein, can you let me see that script first?"


    "of course can."


    Weinstein took out the script and handed it to Nicole. As an excellent businessman, having enough patience in the face of profit is a basic quality. While waiting, he watched quietly, especially the boy.


    He is a little thin and weak. From what we have just seen, his behavior is a little jumpy. However, those sky-blue eyes are extremely bright, and from time to time there are flashes of maturity and wisdom that do not belong to this age. Perhaps this time it is true. It will be very rewarding.


    The script is not too thick, at most a hundred pages, Nicole has read more of the boy¡¯s works, and is very familiar with his writing, and the browsing speed is very fast, but the more I look at it, the less it feels, that loneliness and helplessness, need The boy who is caring and warm is clearly Ryan before the age of seven, and that single mother has her own shadow in every way.


    Even, some of the passages in the script, in her view, are borrowed from his life after he met her. The mother and son in it are clearly two people who depend on each other and are not relatives but better than their relatives.


    It''s just why these touching scenes appear in the script of the horror theme, maybe it is related to the black memories left by Ryan. Nicole sighed in her heart, and suddenly felt that she didn''t care enough about him.

 Chapter 8： I disagree

    "Can you tell me your original intention or inspiration for creating this script?"


    Although I believe Pie? Jinsli will not deceive him on this kind of thing, and the woman and boy opposite do not look like they are acting, but Harvey Weinstein still has to confirm it personally before he can rest assured.


    "Original intention? Inspiration?" Ryan showed a clear smile. He knew very well that age is a big issue, but when used well, it can help. After all, some things are completely spoken from the mouth of an adult and from a child. They are two different things.


    "Let¡¯s put it this way, Mr. Weinstein, although I wrote this script as a horror and suspense subject, it should be classified as family ethics in essence. I don¡¯t know if Pat told you about it. I am an orphan. Before I was adopted by Nicole, I had been living in the orphanage. From the time I was sensible, everyone except the old dean in the orphanage called me a freak. No one wanted to be friends with me. No one wants to play with me."


    The boy showed a self-deprecating smile, "Of course, this has something to do with my character a bit withdrawn, and my behavior is a little bit jumpy, but it is undeniable that I have lived in a cold and indifferent environment since I was a child, especially looking at my peers. Everyone is adopted by others, but I never care about it. Sometimes I wonder if someone will help me out of this predicament?"


    "The head of the orphanage, Katie, is a warm-hearted lady. If she hadn''t helped me out and helped me, I really don¡¯t know how to survive those cold years. In a sense, Marko in the script Dr. Mu is the incarnation of Dean Katie."


    "After the old dean retired, I encountered some worse things. The sky at that time was not only cold, but also full of darkness. This situation continued until I met Nicole by accident and she took me in. , I even went bankrupt and fought a lawsuit over the guardianship area. Without her, I couldn''t imagine what I was like."


    Speaking of this, Ryan seemed to have touched her emotions and showed a grateful smile to Nicole, "Although under Nicole''s care, my personality is much brighter than before, but I am still a little lonely and detached, and often Sexual troubles. Whenever this is the case, Nicole will talk to me. It is not the kind of teaching reprimand, but the exchange and communication on an equal position. With the increase of time together, we treat each other The more you understand, the deeper the feelings. The problems about communication in the script are derived from this. It is communication that reduces the fear of the unknown between people and deepens the feelings between relatives. Isn''t it?"


    "Except for the supernatural things, most of this script is based on the life I have experienced." At this point, the boy especially added, "The single mother who loves her son deeply is actually Ni in reality. However, without her, there would be no such story, and no script of "Sixth Sense". I worked hard to write this script to commemorate this special friendship between me and her."


    "Can you take the liberty to ask which orphanage it is?" Harvey Weinstein''s eyes sparkled.


    "It''s in Los Angeles, the Norston Orphanage in North Hollywood."


    Ryan is not worried about the other party doing investigations and other things. After all, what he said is almost all true. It is just that he has been copied into the script by him, and what he said is full of inadvertent hints. And boot.


    Of course, Weinstein¡¯s experience will naturally detect these, but don¡¯t forget that Ryan is only a child under ten years old. Adults will wonder if the child is lying, but will not think about whether it is in certain words. Deliberately dug a hole waiting for someone to step on it.


    In fact, after Ryan said these words, Harvey Weinstein believed 90% that a child under ten years old could express his words in such a clear and orderly manner, which is enough to show his intelligence. What''s more, he has always been confident in his own vision.


    Besides, the Norston Welfare Institute is right next to Hollywood. The truth of these words is clear at a glance.


    "Ryan~" The words the boy said made Nicole feel a lot more. Even though he knew that the two of them had a deep relationship, he never thought that he would always remember her kindness to him. At this time, a thousand words could not be compared to one. A hug full of affection.


    , the fat man who hasn''t gotten to the opposite side has yet to be touched by Nicole in a mess. Nestled in Nicole''s fragrant embrace, Ryan felt a little bit helpless.


    Harvey Weinstein has watched this script more than once, and there are many small problems, especially in the division of shots, but this shows that it was written by a novice, and he discussed it with his brother Bob Weinstein. , The excellent level of this story is undoubtedly, especially the ending part, will definitely surprise everyone.


    Moreover, this type of film investment is not that big. As long as there are no catastrophic problems, profit is completely predictable. He even has several candidates for the director and actor.


    But the little boy Cole is what makes him feel the most headache. It is not a simple thing to bring such a unique boy performance to life. After making movies for so many years, Harvey Weinstein knows that animals and children They are the two most uncontrollable existences in movie shooting. It is difficult for you to tell them what needs to be expressed, especially children. When they perform poorly, they can directly destroy a movie, and when they perform well, they can save. a movie.


    However, after listening to the boy¡¯s words, he couldn¡¯t stop thinking about it. Since most of the script was adapted from his experience, why not let him play this role? , Even he doesn¡¯t need to be substituted or deliberately perform, just keep his true color is enough.


    The most important thing is that he is a complete rookie who can save a lot of money in terms of salary. Besides, even if it¡¯s a large-scale audition for this role, who can guarantee that the selected boy will be better than him. It is more in line with this role modeled on oneself.


    And that Australian woman is a small well-known actor, I have seen her starred in "Across the Horizon" some time ago. Except for a little too beautiful, her acting skills are quite good, she can play the single mother, so that they will be The feelings and experiences in reality, moved to the big screen in another way, are they not very suitable for propaganda and hype?


    This buy one get two free business is simply too cost-effective. As for the woman''s age and appearance, it is just a small hassle under makeup and post-production.


    Almost in a short moment, these thoughts flashed through Harvey Weinstein''s mind, and after calculating the pros and cons, he had to say that he was indeed a businessman who only wanted to profit.


    "Ryan, Nicole, this script is excellent. Miramax has decided to invest in this movie, so we hope to buy this script as soon as possible. However, Ryan is not a professional screenwriter and a newcomer, so the price will be low. Some, the price I can give is fifty thousand dollars."


    Seeing the boy¡¯s face showing incomprehension and confusion, Harvey Weinstein explained again, ¡°This is Hollywood¡¯s practice. Fifty thousand dollars is actually quite a lot for a newcomer.¡±


    Although he knows that Harvey Weinstein is telling the truth, and he also understands that Hollywood screenwriters are not embarrassed in this era, Ryan still finds it difficult to accept, after all, compared with the income of the movie, this little money is a bit pitiful. , It almost can''t even compare with the cost of a novella.


    Nicole is more familiar with Hollywood, knowing that the other party¡¯s offer did not deliberately lower the price, but she has never made the decision for a boy in this kind of thing, and immediately said, "Ryan, make your own decision."


    sighed, the boy could only look at his agent, and Ms. Jinsli nodded, "The price is fair."


    "Mr. Weinstein, I agree to hand over this script to Miramax, and I can talk to Pat about specific matters."


    Now, Ryan can''t be sure whether the other party jumped in the pit he dug, but unless he had to do something, the effect of saying something out of his mouth is completely different from the other party''s initiative.


    Harvey Weinstein did not let him bother. After a few words with Pie Kingsley, he looked directly at Nicole Kidman, "Nicole, if possible, I would like to invite you. Acting as a single mother in the script. UU¿´Êé"


    "Me?" Nicole obviously didn''t expect to get involved with her.


    "Of course, from Ryan''s words, you can tell that the prototype of this character is you. No one is more suitable for this character than you!" Before Nicole could react, Harvey Weinstein continued, "Age is not The problem, the important thing is the relationship between you. I believe Ryan would also like to see you appear on the big screen in such a way."


    "Right, Ryan." Harvey Weinstein looked at the boy and smiled like a fox.


    "Yes. Nicole is unique in my heart." Ryan stared at the Australian girl with bright eyes. Nicole Kidman only thought for a second before nodding in response, "Okay. , It looks like I have no choice."


    "Since Nicole is going to play her mother, what about you Ryan?" Harvey Weinstein has a kind of treacherous pleasure.


    "Me?" Ryan pretended to be surprised, as if he really didn''t understand the meaning of the other party''s words, "What does this have to do with me?"


    "Let''s put it this way, Ryan, do you have any acting experience before?"


    "No, it doesn''t count if playing the violin and guitar on the school stage." The boy shook his head, but he had another idea in his heart. Does it count if he is acting every minute and every second?


    The boy¡¯s answer has exceeded Harvey Weinstein¡¯s expectations. He rushed to Nicole who showed a clear look and said, "I want to invite you to play the role of Cole."


    "I don''t agree!" The person who refused was Nicole Kidman.

 Chapter 9： convince

    Because of Ryan''s cleverness and precocity, Nicole has rarely directly intervened in his affairs unless necessary. It was the first time in history that Nicole refused directly for him.


    Harvey Weinstein is not stalking, after all, this is Hollywood. Anyone can have fun without it. Of course, he did not give up. Before leaving, he left a sentence, "Change your mind and contact me at any time." .


    In any case, Nicole is his guardian. Ryan knows very well that as long as she continues to object, there is almost no room for maneuver in this matter, and he also knows that Nicole does this, just wanting better Protect him and let him have a complete childhood and grow up happily.


    However, I have been planning for more than three years, and I have devoted almost all of my time and energy to this. Now the opportunity is presented to my eyes. If I miss it this way, it is time to go to Southampton to take the Titanic.


    "Ryan, what do you think?" The question was the manager lady. Unlike Nicole Ichiba, she could guess some of the boy''s thoughts.


    Ryan not only did not answer, but went back to his room, took the envelope containing the manuscript, and handed it to Jinsli, "Pat, this is my latest work, and..."


    He glanced at Nicole who was sitting silent on the other side, and leaned into her ear and said, "Will you go back first? I want to talk to Nicole alone."


    "All right." Although she couldn''t help but want to say a few words, Jinsli left after thinking about it for a while.


    Silence was restored in the living room. The boys and girls sitting opposite did not want to speak. Just like this, you looked at me and I looked at you, but the two pairs of blue eyes stared at each other¡¯s pupils. They seem to be doing communication that only they can understand.


    "Ryan, do you really want to be an actor?" Maybe after a few minutes, or maybe after a long time, Nicole Kidman spoke first, "Don''t deny it, I can feel your heartbeat."


    After all, they have lived together for several years. It is not surprising that Ni may see his inner thoughts in a short time. The boy first smiled, and then nodded slowly but firmly.


    There is no need to deny, is it? This script was carefully selected by him, not only for himself, but also for Nicole. Since in the previous life, another Australian woman could be praised for this role at the age of twenty-six, that is in his eyes. Not inferior Nicole? Why can''t Kidman do this?


    Yes, Nicole is younger than that woman, and has a standard vase look, but through makeup and post-production, she can completely make her appearance less attractive, and play a strong and independent single mother across ages. Once successful, you can imagine the praise.


    As for failure, of course it is possible, but Ryan is convinced that as long as he stands in front of Nicole, will the feelings that the character wants to express still be a problem?


    In some ways, the boy is a conscientious person. Since Nicole took him in during his hardest and darkest time and still spoiled him, he would naturally give him back, perhaps in other ways. It can''t help her too much, it can only add to the chaos, but it is still possible to push her to a higher position than in the previous life in a faster way.


    "Ryan, do you know that when I saw the stories you wrote, I thought you would become an excellent writer in the future. When you can speak Chinese and French fluently, I want you It¡¯s not bad to be a diplomat. When you made your first independent song last year, I told myself that Ryan might be able to become a musician."


    Nicole sighed and began to analyze for the boy, "You are precocious, smarter, and far more sensible than ordinary children. Although your personality is a bit withdrawn, you hardly associate with people of your age, and make troubles from time to time, but in my heart , You have always been the best one."


    "Yes, as you write more and more works, sooner or later you will be exposed to the spotlight, but that should definitely not be now. You have to know that actors and writers are two completely different professions, even if you are just Become an ordinary actor. With your writing achievements, those reporters and paparazzi will definitely reveal everything you have in the past and put them under a magnifying glass. Public figures have no private lives."


    "Although I can''t give you a complete home, I can''t give you enough care, but at least I can give you a complete childhood life. Hollywood is not as simple as you think. It is not a good thing to be famous when you are young."


    "I understand what you mean, Nicole." Since it is an equal dialogue, boys of course have the right to express their opinions. "In Hollywood, young adulthood often means the beginning of the fall, but there is more than just the fallen Drew Barrymore. , And a role model like Judy Foster, not everyone will lose themselves in this vanity fair."


    "Well, I''ll ask you, Ryan." Nicole thought for a while and asked, "Can you adapt to the chasing of the paparazzi of the major newspapers and tabloid reporters, and not get angry in the face of harassment and problems that they have no bottom line? You? Can you adapt to a life without privacy and security? Can you handle complex interpersonal relationships and be slick in this circle? Can you stand alone in the face of overwhelming criticism and scolding?"


    "Maybe I can''t do it completely now, but after a period of adaptation, these are not problems for me." Ryan appeared extremely confident, "You should know that I have enough ability and wisdom to face all this. "


    Although this kind of dialogue has happened many times, Nicole Kidman has a very strong illusion this time. She feels that she is not talking with a child or a child with independent thinking, but with a child. The peers have a debate.


    God, I really saw a ghost, maybe I should test Ryan''s IQ. Nicole thought subconsciously, but still said, "Yes, Ryan, I have never doubted your level of intelligence, even I suspected that I was talking to a thirty-year-old man, but these did not become me. The reason for putting you on that vanity fair."


    Ryan curled his lips without a trace. Of course, he would not think that Nicole was suspicious of him. Anyway, his leaping thinking was normal in Nicole''s eyes, but there was a hint of looseness in Nicole''s words, and he naturally wanted to Chase after victory.


    "Nicole, don''t you think that you have to constantly try new things in your life, keep breaking through yourself, and pursue your own world and ideals?"


    "Ideal? Ideals often have an Atlantic distance from reality."


    "But people have no ideals, so what''s the difference between them and salted fish." Ryan didn''t even think about it. This sentence popped out of his mouth, and Nicole couldn''t help being stunned. "What is the difference between ideals and salted fish? relationship?"


    "Don''t talk about it, Nicole. I know what you worry about the most, so if I encounter setbacks and failures, will you still provide me with a warm embrace like you do now?"


    "of course."


    "Do you think that setbacks or blows will make people like me desperate?"


    "No."


    "Then do you think that after I make a grade, I will become a ignorant, reckless person, partying all night, and not put you in the eye? Or I will become a depraved boy with alcohol and drugs?"


    "No! I''ve never thought so." Nicole''s face darkened unconsciously, "God. Ryan, where did you learn all these messy things, don''t tell me it''s school." "


    "Come on, Nicole." Ryan waved his hand, knowing that he was a little too showy just now. "What era is it now? TV, newspapers, and magazines are full of these things. Don''t forget that you subscribe when you are in London. It¡¯s almost all gossip and scandal in the Sun."


    I have to say that the boy''s ability to beat a rake is really good. Nicole was blocked by the sentence behind him and could no longer ask.


    "Well, Nicole, these things are no big deal." Seeing Nicole''s face getting darker and darker, Ryan hurriedly comforted.


    "Ryan, why do I feel that I am not your sister, UU read and you are more like my brother?" Nicole Kidman raised his head in confusion.


    Isn''t it? The past and present lives add up, I am more than enough to be your brother. Ryan murmured in his heart and quickly changed the subject, "Then, Nicole, do you agree with me to play this role? The mother and child in the script have extraordinary meaning to me."


    In order to strengthen the persuasiveness, Ryan had to talk about it again, but Nicole liked this one the most. As long as she thinks about the content of the script, she thinks of the strong and independent mother and the lonely and helpless boy.


    Maybe the situation will not be as bad as I thought. It should be a wise choice to use such a movie to commemorate the deep friendship between myself and Ryan.


    "Okay, Ryan, I agree, but..." Before she finished speaking, the excited boy plunged directly into Nicole''s arms from the other side, and gave a hard kiss on the white and cold face. , "I know, I know, Nicole, you are the best to me."


    Nicole Kidman reluctantly took the boy into his arms, and said the unfinished warning, "Ryan, remember what you said just now, if one day you become a Bad guy, I can never spare you."


    "Of course, of course." The boy nodded hurriedly, patted his chest and promised, "The future Ryan Jenkins will definitely be a five-good young man!"


    As for the two people''s role in the "Sixth Sense", it was settled as such. Naturally, Ms. Jinsli and a lawyer were sent to discuss with Miramax. All they need to do is wait.

 Chapter 10： Pay

    It was one day in early August. After receiving the call from Nicole, Ryan scratched his head. He really couldn''t think of what the fat guy could do to find himself. Could it be that Miramax was so idle, or Harvey? ? Weinstein''s head cramps. Want to chat with him about the future?


    "Hello, Harvey." Miramax is not as confident as it was later. Although the brothers are marketable, they still maintain their due closeness to those who can create value for themselves. "Yes, Pat has already come, and the contract has also come, the conditions? Of course satisfied, no problem."


    "What? No, no, no, Harvey, I don¡¯t want to interfere with your decision. I grew up in Los Angeles. That¡¯s right, but Philadelphia is one of the oldest cities in North America, isn¡¯t it? You don¡¯t think it will be a movie. Would it be more convincing for the location to be located in Philadelphia?"


    When Harvey Weinstein said that he wanted to change his location to Los Angeles, Ryan could not help but raise an objection even if he knew that he was speaking lightly. Fortunately, Harvey Weinstein has not yet begun to expand. , I quickly dispelled that idea.


    "Well, that''s it. Wait, Harvey, I want to ask, are the director and the actor confirmed?" Listening to the name coming from the microphone, the boy subconsciously scratched his face, "David? Vinci? Was it the one who filmed the MV for Madonna Sicconi?"


    After getting the affirmative answer, Ryan hung up the phone, okay! Another Hollywood celebrity was swayed by his big butterfly fan.


    "Ryan, what''s it like to be in a script written by yourself?" Ms. Jinsili asked with a smile while drinking coffee.


    The boy rolled his eyes, as if saying that you are an idiot, "Pat, the movie hasn''t started shooting yet, how would I know what it feels like?"


    "Ryan, come here." Nicole spoke at this moment. She pointed to the two contracts on the table in front of her. "This is the script contract and your actor contract. I have already signed it, and the rest is up to you. Up."


    Jin Sili, who was sitting on the other side, explained, ¡°In terms of the script, there is no change in the US$50,000, but there are some minor flaws in the script that need to be revised.¡±


    "I see."


    "As for the actors, Harvey should have talked with you on the phone just now. This movie will probably not start until the end of next month. Although you are playing one of the three most important roles, you are a newcomer without any work. Miramax held down the price in terms of remuneration, only $150,000."


    "What else?" The boy still remembers the things he told the female business man.


    "Of course, the reason why the salary is so low is mainly because of the conditions you put forward." The business woman sighed. She really couldn''t understand the boy''s whimsical thinking. "It has been specified in the contract. The North American box office of a movie can exceed 250 million U.S. dollars, and you and Nicole will each have 1% of the box office."


    "Wow~" Ryan exclaimed excitedly. He could fully imagine Harvey Weinstein vomiting blood after the movie was released.


    "Don''t be happy too early, for the same reason, Nicole has only one and a half million dollars in pay."


    The female agent directly poured cold water. She knew very well that when Mira Maxken added such a clause to the contract, she believed that the box office of the movie would definitely not reach this astronomical figure, and the second was by lowering the remuneration. The stretched finances saved a lot of money.


    In the eyes of those senior filmmakers, "Sixth Sense" is indeed a very good story and script. If it is done well, it is possible to get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of North American box office, but 250 million US dollars in North America What is the concept of box office? Only Star Wars and Jaws have done this in history. Could it be said that such a family ethics film in the cloak of a thriller can also achieve such results? Do not make jokes.


    It is based on immediate benefits that Miramax has made this contract seemingly generous.


    Of course, Ms. Jinsli also played a vital role. Although this seems to reduce her income, as a smart person, she takes it for granted that the value of boys lies more in writing, and that is The top priority of her income.


    "The Sixth Sense" has come to an end for the time being. Unlike Nicole who wants to study the script and the characters, he is the author of the script. In his previous life, he has seen the original movie more than a dozen times, thanks to the super memory of this life. , Those pictures are as if they are engraved in the mind, there is no need to study at all.


    It¡¯s also wrong to say that. After tea and dinner, as well as daily routine exercises and walks, he will also have some discussions with Nicole about the script, especially the interaction between the two characters. His feelings and understanding of this movie are important. There are a lot more, some opinions will naturally affect Nicole, which can be somewhat helpful for future shooting.


    Just like Nicole once complained, the boy hardly has any friends. As a person who has experienced internet baptism in his previous life, he is somewhat homely. Compared with Australian beauties who like lively and socializing, he is now quieter in life. And more regularly.


    Every morning and evening is his and Nicole¡¯s routine exercise time. After breakfast, he and Nicole are reading and writing. Every afternoon, after writing, I will spend a certain amount of time to practice the instrument. Sometimes the inspiration comes, and I will write music. A simple piece of music, filled in with some English lyrics, used a childish voice to harm Miss Nicole Kidman and the neighbors who live in the same building.


    After dinner, I will watch TV and news for a period of time, and often argue with Nicole about certain current events. After more than 20 years of experience, the glamorous girl is speechless and occasionally refuted. Will also act like a baby and use the privileges of his age until Nicole surrenders.


    I have to say that Nicole is a bit too spoiled for him, making him more and more lawless in front of her.


    Of course, most of the evening is still spent in writing. Now that the "Sixth Sense" has found his next home and is planning ahead, he naturally has to prepare for the next step or even further. He has written the "Sixth Sense" script. He has gained some insights from his experience.


    For a boy with a clear picture in his mind, with enough experience, it is easier and faster to construct a script than to adapt a novel. The script seldom needs the gorgeous rhetoric and complicated language description of the novel, which makes him more comfortable. In order to be handy, let¡¯s say that the ideas suitable for his age have been taken over by him early. If those film companies still want to produce these movies, I am sorry, they can only go to Ms. Jinsli and talk about it slowly.


    Although he doesn''t mind others treating himself as a little monster, Ryan doesn''t want to be too shocked. In his current thinking, as long as the few movies with good reputation and high box office each year are in his hands, it is enough. Earn a lot of money, and can give yourself a halo.


    The person in the previous life was just an ordinary little person. If something special, it is because of the relationship between occupation and hobbies. He has watched far more movies than ordinary people. At the beginning of this life, he was a helpless person. The unreliable orphan, even if there are some delusions in his heart to realize, sometimes he is a little greedy, but he does not have the huge ambition of the reborn person in the legend.


    What he wants is actually very simple, to realize his dreams in his past and present lives, and to help the people he likes and loves deeply.


    Unless the end of the world or the dying Red Empire pulls the whole world to grow mushrooms together, Nicole will knock on the door within a few minutes after half past ten every day to remind him to go to bed, or even the one that adopted him in the first place. In 1970, Nicole often stayed with him at night.


    This is the portrayal of Ryan¡¯s daily life over the past few years, even when he is in school. He is famous for only doing what he wants to do in class. At the beginning, the school looked for Nicole for this, but all After getting A in a row, the school gradually closed its mouth.


    For Ryan, who has experienced cruel education in his previous life, the knowledge taught in western elementary schools is simply too pediatric. Of course, it is not useless. For example, they will not teach love and so-and-so when their children just enter school. UU¿´Êéwww The first thing you need to learn when entering .uukanshu.com is the safety rules and how to protect yourself, and these are also the top priorities in daily teaching.


    The hot August passed by in a flash. At the end of the month, Nicole reconnected to an elementary school for the boy, but as a transfer student, he took a test before enrolling and was finally divided into the third grade. Boys have always had a dispensable attitude toward school, and they didn''t care much. If it hadn''t been for Nicole to break the law, how could he go to this damned American elementary school.


    Of course, he only needs to survive the compulsory education age group. If there are no accidents, he will not waste time going to university.


    In a month, Ryan compiled the outline and main line of the two movie scripts, and also drew some setting drafts. Although some content and bridges were written to some extent, the music and other aspects were scattered. Less energy, otherwise, these two scripts will not have only a framework until now.


    Since most of Nicole¡¯s previous lives were literary and artistic films, except for a limited number of films, the other impressions were not deep. Among the two scripts, one of them belonged to the popular romantic comedy genre in the 1990s, which was specially prepared for her by boys. Yes, it''s just that this kind of love movie is made by a ten-year-old child, which is a bit too absurd.


    Forget it, let''s wait for a while, and wait until the "Sixth Sense" is released. At that time, I was one year older, which would increase my persuasiveness a little bit. Even if someone would chirp, then let them go.


    Furthermore, I am a boy and not a girl. This society is far more capable of accepting male genius than females.

 Chapter 11： Oolong incident

    With the "squeak" of the brakes, the brand-new black Audi 90 sedan stopped outside a small villa. Ryan was sitting in the co-pilot''s position and grinning nonstop. In his eyes, Nicole''s car skills were really good. It was rotten to a certain level, and he doubted whether the newly bought car could last until the end of the running-in period.


    "Nicole, did you bribe the examiner when you took the driving test?"


    "Shut up, Ryan." Nicole grinds her white teeth. "If you talk more, after the visit, you can walk back to Los Angeles from Santa Monica by yourself!"


    The boy stuck his tongue out, swallowed the next sentence of mockery, unfastened his seat belt, got out of the car first, and walked toward the small but very elegant villa.


    This is the last day of August. He and Nicole went to Santa Monica, a small seaside town, to visit the retired Dean Katie. After all, when he was in the orphanage, the old Dean was the only one who truly cared and helped. His people also helped a lot in the subsequent lawsuit.


    "Auntie Katie, it''s nice to meet you."


    Although I occasionally communicate, I haven''t seen each other for two years. The old dean looks a lot older and his hair is mostly gray.


    "Ryan, you have grown taller and you have grown up." Dean Katie sighed with emotion. After the nanny served juice and coffee, she looked at Nicole, "Unexpectedly, two years passed in a blink of an eye. Does the guy take good care of him? His temperament and character should make you a headache."


    "Mrs. Katie, we get along well. Adopting Ryan is the most correct decision I have made in my life." Nicole smiled and rubbed the boy''s hair. "Ryan is my only relative in America."


    "This way I can rest assured."


    The old dean asked a few words about Ryan¡¯s current situation, and after chatting with Nicole for a while, his energy was obviously a little weak. Ryan and Nicole had to say goodbye, but before going out, she pulled Nicole and said, "Rui En is the smartest and most talented child I have ever seen. Take good care of him so that he can grow up healthily. If there are difficulties that can¡¯t be solved, call me directly. Although I am old, there are still many relatives and relatives. friend."


    After traveling around the beach in Santa Monica and finding a seafood shop to settle the lunch, Nicole drove Ryan towards downtown Los Angeles. In the afternoon, the boy had an appointment at Lawyer Wilson¡¯s. Office.


    Lawyer Wilson is well-known in the greater Los Angeles area. Although the law firm he opened can only be regarded as a medium-sized law firm, his business is not bad, and he rents a separate two-story office building near the city hall.


    In a small closed conference room, two white men were waiting for him. Some balding middle-aged men were the boy¡¯s lawyer, Mr. Wilson, and another tall, strong, brown-haired man who looked a lot younger was Wilson last year. The stock and investment broker introduced to him by the husband.


    "It''s nice to meet you, Mr. Scott, we have called many times. I never thought you would be this tall." According to Ryan''s visual inspection, this guy must be at least six feet three inches tall.


    "Ryan, I also didn''t expect you to be less than ten years old." Mr. Scott''s expression was a bit exaggerated.


    The next thing to talk about is investment-related. As a lawyer with excellent professional ethics, Mr. Wilson voluntarily left the meeting room, and after Nicole sent him into the office building, he went to the fitness club, and only before the office closed. Come pick him up.


    "Mr. Scott, I heard Uncle Wilson say you will return to New York soon?"


    "That''s it, I plan to return to Merrill Lynch in a few days, and may quit my current job."


    "Quit your job? Why?" The boy scratched his head, and said to his heart that this is not playing with me. He finally invited a reliable investment broker, and he actually wanted to pick up some money.


    Mr. Scott laughed helplessly, but his smile was full of warmth and sweetness. "My wife is pregnant. I will be a dad in December. We are going to return to Montgomery, Pennsylvania, waiting for the baby. Born."


    "It turned out to be like this." The boy murmured, and then said, "Congratulations, Mr. Scott."


    Things are really troublesome, I finally convinced Nicole, should I just give up like this? The boy rolled his eyes, "Mr. Scott, what you said is not contrary to what you are doing for me. You only need to operate a certain amount of money for me and buy some stocks."


    "In this case¡­"


    When the boy fudged again...Ah no, after a few words of persuasion, and what he did did not take too much time, Scott finally nodded and agreed.


    "Wait, Ryan!"


    Scott suddenly interrupted the boy who was talking about spitting. Since entering this room, the boy has displayed the precociousness and wisdom that amazed him. It was only at this moment that he realized that he was indeed a naive child.


    "What''s the matter?" What the boy was showing off was the poor knowledge he had seen from the Internet in his previous life. He didn''t understand why Scott interrupted him.


    "Ryan, is Cisco you talking about a network equipment supplier?" After getting the boy''s affirmative answer, Scott suddenly laughed, "Cisco is not listed!"


    The corners of the boy''s mouth jerked unconsciously, and his face was covered with black lines. At this moment, he really wanted to run to the beach in Malibu and dig a sandpit to bury himself, God! He unexpectedly made such a big oolong, if he was seen by the powerful people who crossed the road after the crossing, he would definitely be regarded as a joke for the ages.


    "There are also Microsoft stocks. Now almost all investors are optimistic about the upward momentum of Microsoft. It is very difficult to absorb a large amount of Microsoft stocks from the market, and then Apple..."


    Scott briefly analyzed the financial and investment markets, and the more thorough he said, the more cold sweat on the boy''s forehead, and he couldn''t help feeling fortunate.


    Fortunately, I have a bit of self-knowledge, knowing that the knowledge of financial crises and currency wars that I have seen on the Internet in my previous life may not be reliable, and I have never thought that with these, he can kill the Quartet. If he is really like those who cross the cattle, Going to shear the wool to fry the yen with a hot head, it is estimated that there will be one more person who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge.


    Ok! I''m not a piece of business and finance at all. The boy could only sigh. It was really embarrassing to make such a big oolong. Fortunately, he was still a child, and he had practiced his face all these years. Otherwise, he would have no place to show himself. Fortunately, Nicole is not here, otherwise he will be sure. Use the guardian''s authority to strictly control his wallet.


    "Is there no other way?" The boy asked unwillingly.


    "I will stare at the market and absorb Microsoft stock as much as possible. There is also Cisco. I have heard people say that it is likely to go public next year. If you confirm that you want to buy its stock, I will try my best." Mr. Kurt did not make any guarantees, but he still showed a certain degree of self-confidence in his words.


    "Let''s do it, let''s call if there is anything."


    The boy sighed, and that''s all there is to it. Anyway, it is better to buy as much as you want. It is better to depreciate than to keep the paper money in your hands. Besides, these days, reliable and capable stocks and investment managers are not easy to find. Let alone those small companies, even among the big investment companies on Wall Street, scammers are still everywhere.


    If it were not for the introduction of Dean Katie and Lawyer Wilson, the boy would never trust him. Even so, the necessary supervision measures would be no less.


    "Ryan, you can come to Pennsylvania if you have the opportunity. I have a big farm there and you can ride a horse." When leaving, Mr. Scott enthusiastically sent out an invitation.


    "If I go to the East Coast, I will definitely visit." Ryan returned with a bright smile.


    To put it bluntly, the meeting in the afternoon hit Ryan to a certain extent and made him lose his face. At the same time, it made him recognize himself more clearly and understand what kind of path he is suitable for. , Also threw certain things from YY on the Internet in the previous life completely out of the sky.


    What the plaza agreement, what the yen crisis, what the sheep shearing operation, what cutting meat from the giant red bear, what the Southeast Asian financial crisis, what the subprime mortgage crisis, all go to hell! I can still make my own movie steadily. UU reading www. uukanshu.com


    Back home, Ryan sat at the desk, only a wry smile appeared. His greediness just started to swell and was ruthlessly pierced by an awl.


    In fact, he is a human being in two lives. How can he not know that his best is his artistic talent, and this life is several times stronger than the previous life, but people are always blinded by greed and unrealistic fantasies, in a sense Above all, Mr. Scott Swift was the stick that fell in the head.


    Just, why do you suddenly feel that this name sounds familiar? The boy scratched his head, threw the thought aside, waved the pen, and rustled on the manuscript paper.


    The hot summer came to an end. Ryan Jenkins, who was transferred from London, walked into an American campus for the first time. Nicole chose a private school named St. John¡¯s Primary School for him. Don¡¯t be surprised. It is not a church school. Even though he was born again, Ryan is at best an agnostic. If he were to go to a strict Catholic school, it would be better to kill him.


    "Ryan, get along well with classmates at school. Don''t always do inexplicable things. If I were invited to the school by the principal, I will definitely send you to boarding school, I swear!"


    After sending the boy to the campus, Miss Nicole Kidman gave out a warning, even if she knew it was of little use.


    "Come on, Nicole, am I the kind of kid who doesn''t know the so-called?" As soon as Nicole finished speaking, Ryan reflexively began to refute. "Don''t worry, as long as those little kids and strange teachers don''t come to provoke me, I won''t be familiar with them."

 Chapter 12： All beginnings are hard

    On the trees on both sides of the old streets, there are always pieces of withered leaves falling inadvertently. When you enter Philadelphia in autumn, you can feel the coolness.


    David Fincher was standing in front of an old apartment building, directing the crew of the crew and setting up the cameras. This was the first time he was in charge of the film guide. He was naturally cautious in some aspects, although he was not. He speaks everything personally, but also requires very strict requirements for every detail.


    "Amy!" David Fincher called the assistant director, "Where are the actors? Why haven''t they arrived yet? Doesn''t the actor let me take pictures of the empty streets?"


    "David, don''t worry." The deputy director quickly explained, "I just talked to Mr. Al Pacino on the phone, and he will be there soon, but we are sent to pick up Miss Nicole Kidman and Mr. Ryan Jenkins. His car broke down halfway, and now they have called a taxi and are rushing here."


    "Damn it!" David Fincher cursed in a low voice. It was really unlucky to have encountered this kind of thing before turning on the phone, and he has never seen an actor who starred in a little boy until now. I don¡¯t know Harvey. What is Weinstein doing, I hope that kid will be as good as he said, no! As long as there is half of what he said, I am satisfied.


    "Come, here, it''s them." The assistant director pointed to a taxi parked on the side of the road.


    David Fincher hurriedly looked over. The first goal was a tall and glamorous girl. The woman was very tall and very beautiful, but in the next moment, he was attracted by the boy she was leading away. Attention.


    The thin and thin body seems to fall when the wind blows, and the light brown hair is disheveled covering the pale face. Under the quiet appearance, there is strength and an indescribable temperament, especially the sky blue. In the eyes, the brilliance of insight shines from time to time.


    That''s right! He is Cole! After just one glance, the boy''s appearance completely overlapped with the Cole outlined in his mind. Although I don''t know how his acting skills are, from the appearance point of view, there is nothing more suitable than him.


    Ok! Although Harvey Weinstein is a bit arrogant, he finally did not disappoint him in the selection of actors.


    "Nicole, is this the old city of Philadelphia? It looks really old." Ryan''s eyes were patrolling around curiously. Such an old house would have been demolished long ago if it were placed in the place where he was in his previous life. Land is sold.


    "Yes, it is said that this is one of the oldest urban areas in the United States."


    But it was Pie? Jinsli. Compared with Nicole, an American of her standard had a better understanding of the history of Philadelphia.


    took Nicole Kidman''s hand and walked from the small road in the middle of the low green belt to the front of the apartment. The deputy director who had met them quickly gave an introduction to both parties.


    "Director Fincher, hello. Very happy to meet you, you can call me Ryan." The boy is impeccable in etiquette, just like Nicole said, as long as he wants to, he is the perfect little gentleman , And his actions immediately won the favor of Mr. Director, "Well, Ryan, it¡¯s also nice to meet you."


    As the director in charge of the tube, he naturally knows who wrote the script. Although the script was almost ripped by him, it was still a surprise to see the master at this time. Such an excellent story turned out to be from a person under ten years old. The hand of the child is unbelievable. Could it be that the children born in the 1980s are so perverted?


    After greeting the crew, Ryan was taken into the dressing room. Since it was the first time to shoot a movie, he was a little curious about everything. Fortunately, he still knew what he was here for. It is not the school and home that can let him recklessly suppress his temperament and allow the female makeup artist to apply smears on his face.


    Damn it, I''m a boy, what''s the matter with grease and powder? Ryan looked at the paler face in the mirror, and he muttered in his heart.


    "Hello Mr. Pacino!"


    At the door of the temporary dressing room, an assistant''s voice suddenly came.


    "Al Pacino?" The boy knew who he was going to play with some time ago. It''s only 1989. Unless Harvey Weinstein gets water in his head, he will never choose Bruce Willis. .


    This is not ten years later, but Mr. Willis is worthy of the name of facial paralysis.


    But he never expected that the big fat man would choose Al Pacino to be the leading actor. Well, now Al is actually in a downturn in his career, and this movie needs an actor-level actor to come. Increase box office appeal, it is estimated that this is how the two sides hit it off.


    The moment the makeup artist finished the work, the boy jumped up from the chair, took out the signature book and fountain pen from his backpack, and handed it to Al Pacino who had just sat down. .


    "Mr. Al Pacino, can you sign a name for me?" The boy widened his eyes and looked at this middle-aged man who was acting like an idol.


    "No problem, you are..."


    "Ryan, Ryan Jenkins, the lonely boy you want to solve and help in this movie."


    "Well, Ryan, you can call me Al." As expected of a famous old drama bone, that kind of affinity naturally spread out.


    "Ryan, I wish you health and happiness forever." Al Pacino wrote a message after the signature, and Ryan smiled happily, as if he was really happy to get the idol''s signature, "Thank you Al, it¡¯s great to be able to play with you."


    Perhaps it was the advantage of his age or his positive and cheerful personality. Ryan won Al Pacino¡¯s favor without expending much effort. When he changed into that American elementary school uniform and walked out of the dressing room, Ryan won the favor of Al Pacino. People talked and laughed, and the boy also took the opportunity to ask a few words about acting.


    The first thing to shoot was the shot of the psychologist played by Al Pacino. Ryan also saw what an acting skill at the actor level was. After a few simple test shots, Al quickly found the state.


    "Cut! Very good!" David Fincher clapped his hands vigorously, encouraging everyone on the crew, "Ten minutes off."


    I just filmed the shot of the psychiatrist Malcolm walking down the street. Although the fall in Philadelphia has some coolness, the shape of Al''s windbreaker and scarf still sweated after the filming was completed.


    "Are you nervous, Ryan?" Nicole took the boy''s hand and rubbed his palm lightly with her thumb, wanting this way to soothe his mood, because the boy will be on the court in the next shot.


    "Not nervous." Ryan denied without thinking, but after meeting Nicole''s clear gaze, he had to breathe a long sigh, "Well, I admit, it was a little nervous, but this is normal. Is it? Nicole, were you nervous the first time you filmed?"


    "Of course. I was so nervous that I even forgot the lines." Nicole said with a smile, "I''ll give you a good suggestion. You can think of everyone present as stones. That would be much better."


    "Can it be used as potatoes? Or onions and tomatoes?"


    Maybe it¡¯s because he has no confidence in Ryan, or maybe he wants to go from easy to difficult. The boy¡¯s first scene is when Cole walks out of the apartment, locks the door and leaves. It¡¯s very simple, isn¡¯t it?


    "Cut! It''s over."


    I only took two test shots, and I took one official shot. This shot was passed. Of course, it wasn¡¯t that the boy had an explosion of acting skills as soon as he came up. It was a blurry distant shot. What he had to do was too simple. Open the room. The door, carefully observe left and right.


    But then I ran into big trouble. This is a close-up shot, requiring Ryan to show a cautious, cautious, and somewhat cringing look after putting on a pair of eyes.


    "Cut! Ryan, relax, look natural."


    "Cut! Ryan, you are too stiff.?"


    "Cut! Ryan, don''t look at the camera lens."


    "..."


    This time it was even more exaggerated. The boy looked at the glasses that fell under his feet and gave a wry smile. Fortunately, David Fincher is not James Cameron, otherwise...


    David Fincher also frowned. He has many years of experience shooting commercials and MTV. He naturally knows how difficult it is for a child to find the state of acting. Before shooting, he also talked with him. In the human conversation, he could see that this was a clever and precocious child, and the holding heart could not help being put back in half. Unexpectedly, more than half an hour passed, the boy still hadn''t made any progress. UU Reading


    "Nicole, do you want to comfort Ryan?" Pie? Jinsli was a little worried.


    "No, Ryan is stronger than anyone." Nicole Kidman shook his head slowly and firmly, but no one could see the worried and distressed look on his face, "Since he chose this path , You have to face it yourself."


    Ryan clenched his fists hard, and even his arms trembled slightly. When he did it, he realized that certain things were far more difficult than he thought, such as the Oolong incident some time ago, such as today''s shooting.


    "Cut!" After stopping again after the break, David Fincher walked over and whispered, "Ryan, do you know where your problem is?"


    "About one-third of it was because of my sudden distraction, another third was because of my body stiffness and shaking, and the remaining third was because I couldn''t help but look at the camera lens."


    Out of David Fincher''s expectation, the boy knew exactly where his problem was. He patted the boy on the arm, "Is there anything I can do for you?"


    "Can you give me ten minutes? I need to be alone for a while." Ryan first gave Nicole in the distance a relieved look, and then looked at the director expectantly, "Believe me, David. I can solve these problems myself."


    The boy''s words and expressions gave him inexplicable confidence. David Fincher nodded, "Okay! Rest for ten minutes!"


    "Obviously, I need an actor''s self-cultivation." Ryan opened the door to enter the apartment and said something that made David Fincher feel inexplicable.

 Chapter 13： Gorgeous turn

    Entering the small living room of the apartment, Ryan sat down on the sofa, burying some pale faces between his hands.


    As he said, he knew exactly where the problem was, but the reason was so complicated that outsiders could not understand it.


    No acting skills? How could it be that a pig who has been acting continuously for nearly ten years will become a master of performance, let alone a clever and intelligent boy with two lives.


    In fact, he himself understood that apart from looking at the camera lens, other problems lie in the end.


    One is that the image of Hayley Joe Osment¡¯s previous life is too deep. As long as he thinks of starring in "Sixth Sense," his image will jump into his mind, making him want to imitate him. Another voice said that imitation is not correct and that one should go its own way. It is conceivable what kind of consequences this will cause.


    The second and most important reason is that from babies to toddlers, and from toddlers to boys, he has been acting all the time. He has been acting for more than nine years, and he has been deeply involved in this role, and he has no way to come out. Until now, especially after Nicole appeared, he was inseparable from the world. He couldn''t tell whether it was a dream or reality, and he couldn''t tell whether he was Ryan Jenkins or Lu Ming. If there is no abnormality in normal times. , But the problem was revealed during the performance of another scene.


    what is this? Have another play in the show? Is there a play in the play? The boy could only smile back.


    "Ryan." Nicole Kidman didn''t hold back in the end, not knowing when he walked into the apartment and came to the boy''s side.


    "Nicole." Sniffing the familiar scent, the boy leaned over, and naturally placed his head on Nicole''s soft abdomen. Warmth and tranquility instantly rushed to his heart.


    Relying on the person he was closest to in the previous life and this life, that confused and restless heart seemed to be clear again. When Nicole¡¯s soft and sweet red lips were printed on his forehead, the boy gradually gained some insights. Become the past, this life needs to be grasped, whether it is Lu Ming or Ryan Jenkins, I am me, the only me in this world!


    Is the past life really the past?


    "Nicole, thank you, I think I understand a lot." The boy jumped onto the sofa and kissed her white face before Nicole didn''t react.


    Nicole Kidman only treats the boy as expressing his attachment to himself, and doesn¡¯t care, "This is the extremely confident Ryan I am familiar with."


    "Let''s go out, don''t make people wait long." Ryan took Nicole''s hand, as if holding the whole world of this life.


    No one thought that it only lasted ten minutes. The boy who seemed to have no acting skills and seemed to be a layman turned around in a magnificent way. Not only did the stuck shot pass once, he was picking it up. In the scenes that came down, wherever there were his shots, the number of times of NG did not exceed three times.


    It¡¯s fine if the director¡¯s requirements are not strict, but they know very well that although David Fincher has never lost his temper, he has pursued every detail to the extreme, even a monologue by Al Pacino. He has been stopped by him nearly twenty times.


    Under such circumstances, the boy still maintained a very high pass rate. They thought that the other party was possessed by the soul, but on the second or even the third day, the same was still true. This made many people feel the same. Begin to smack secretly.


    In the past three days, most of the shots were very fragmentary, not many of them belonged to Nicole, but just like the boy thought, Nicole not only painted old makeup, but also reduced that cold and glamorous temperament. Acting in London for more than a year on stage, and discussing the script with the boy many times, the effect of the script has emerged. At this time, she is much better in acting than the same period in her previous life.


    Especially after listening to Ryan''s initial slurs, she almost regarded herself as the single mother, which undoubtedly helped her a lot.


    Seeing that Ryan and Al seemed to be getting better and better, David Fincher did not hesitate to change the filming plan, and advanced the scenes between the two on stage.


    Changji shouted after seeing David Fincher''s gesture, "The eleventh scene, the 22nd act, begin!"


    "Cole!" In the empty corridor, Al Pacino squatted beside the boy in the purple school uniform. "I saw nothing."


    The boy¡¯s lips whispered, a little frightened, a little hesitant, and the frightened body seems to be trembling, "Don¡¯t move! Sometimes you will..."


    "Cut!"


    The self-talking boy didn¡¯t seem to hear David Fincher¡¯s voice, and was still murmuring. It was only after this line was finished, that he shook his head vigorously, and looked at the camera with a little bewilderment. Direction, "Am I wrong?"


    "It''s not you, it''s that Al''s expression is not in place!" David waved his hand.


    The boy let out a sigh of relief and did not say a word. He lowered his head and sat on one of the chairs, but in his ears he heard the voice of a staff member joking Al Pacino, "Al, this shot is because of you. Three times, work harder, don''t be beaten by this kid like Ryan."


    "Would you like some water?" Pie? Jinsli handed over the water glass.


    "No, thank you, Pat." Ryan said it quite sincerely, because Nicole is often absent, Ms. Jinsli is both an agent and a nanny.


    "Ryan, you are a little too deep in the play, and the time to get out of the play is getting longer and longer." Jinsli reminded.


    "No problem, Pat, don''t worry, you know what this character is based on."


    The boy sighed and moved out of this reason again. There is no doubt that substitution is the most commonly used method of performance and is used by most actors. However, this method has obvious shortcomings. Once entering the drama too deeply, it will be a big trouble, especially for him. This kind of person who can''t distinguish between dream and reality once they enter the play, it is far more difficult than ordinary people to get out of the play.


    Of course, the benefits are obvious, listen to the voices in the crew that praise him.


    It seemed that he was stimulated by the boy. In the next filming, Al Pacino used his actor-level strength. This scene was passed once, and when shooting the scene where the two people guessed the riddle in the room. , Seemed to be shocked by Al''s acting, Ryan''s state suddenly disappeared.


    "The state thing is just as unreliable as the Chinese men''s football shot. Going an own goal when it should not be scored, and not scoring a goal when it should be scored!"


    Ryan sat on the sofa and kept muttering. In his opinion, the actor''s state is as inexplicable as the state of a football player. When the state comes, the barbs outside the penalty area can score goals. When there is no state, Even a one-meter empty door can be used as an anti-aircraft gun.


    "Ryan, the performance is like this, the state will always fluctuate." Al Pacino, who was sitting opposite, said openly.


    "But, Al, you have to take half the responsibility for my loss of status this time." After three days, he basically got acquainted with the other party, and the boy did not hesitate to deduct a big hat on the head of the handsome old man. .


    "Well, as the responsible person, do you need me to help you get your status back?" Al didn''t mind, instead he joked with the boy.


    "No, I have the best way to get back to the state."


    The boy looked at Nicole, who had just walked out of the dressing room, "The world cannon, fire it!"


    "Swish", Ryan sprinted out at a speed of 100 meters, jumped up in the surprised eyes of people in the crew, and plunged directly into Nicole Kidman''s arms.


    His strength is really great, and Nicole is too tall and slender, and he was driven by him to step back several steps, until his back leaned against the wall, which stabilized her body.


    But even when she retreated, she did not stretch out her arms to maintain her balance. Instead, she hugged the boy in her arms tightly for fear that he would be hurt by the slightest amount.


    "Your relationship is really good!" The assistant director next to him exclaimed.


    Nicole smiled, but didn''t say anything, just patted the back of the boy who was holding her tightly, and placed him on the high-back chair on the other side.


    As the filming progressed, the people in the crew gradually understood their relationship. While sighing at the boy''s life experience, they also lamented the deep feelings between the brothers and sisters who are not relatives but are better than relatives.


    "That was caused by sports. UU reading " Facing the questioning of David Fincher''s cameo doctor, Nicole defended, but the doctor opposite obviously did not approve of this statement, in his questioning eyes Nico waved her hand vigorously, "Do you think I did it? Do you think I am a bad mother?"


    After the doctor¡¯s words of suspicion again, Nicole finally broke out. What flashed before her eyes was the thin figure of the boy on the Avenue of Stars who looked at her timidly. For a while, from the first encounter to the one that exhausted her The lawsuit of mental strength, and the bit by bit of getting along between the two in the past few years, at the same time rushed to my heart, how can an outsider suspect that the strong feelings and the pampering of the boy.


    "He needs help! Do you know? He needs help! He is the person I love the most, and the person who is most important to me. Even if I die, I won''t hurt him or let anyone hurt him! anyone!"


    Nicole¡¯s face was full of tears, and the lines she uttered were completely unrecognizable, yet so appropriate.


    Faced with the eruption of her emotions, everyone was stunned on the spot. When the deputy director who was in charge of David took the lead in regaining consciousness, after shouting "Cut", he did not know who it was, and patted his palms. , Followed by applause that could almost overturn the roof.


    Everyone is applauding for Nicole''s wonderful performance. Only the boy knows that Nicole is not performing at all. She is only stimulated to express her love for him in a more intense way. .


    Ryan didn''t even notice that he actually walked to Nicole''s side. He didn''t sigh in his heart until after he hugged her tightly, "Nicole, you are so to me, what should I give you back? ?"

 Chapter 14： Doors and windows

    For the filming, the crew rented two rows of independent apartments on the front and back streets, which can be used as both a shooting location and the crew¡¯s residence. It has to be said that Miramax is not in a good financial situation. Let them stingy to a certain level.


    "Harvey gave an investment of 20 million U.S. dollars, and the funds have not yet been fully funded. Excluding the remuneration of the crew, the money that can be used for filming is very small. I can¡¯t wait to break a cent in half now. Come to spend!"


    In the dining room where the main creators of the crew live in the apartment, a dinner is going on. Because investment is not a secret thing, David Finch sat at the table and complained about the shortage of funds.


    "The twenty million dollars is indeed a bit short."


    Ryan echoed, he vaguely remembered whether the investment in this movie in the previous life was 60 million or 70 million. Of course, the dollar ten years later is not comparable to the current one.


    "Even so, Harvey told me it''s best to save the cost of promotion, God! He might as well just sell me."


    It seems that David Fincher really has a headache for funding. Others can''t help with this kind of thing, and can only make a good laugh.


    "Nicole''s bacon omelette isn''t ready yet? I''ll go to the kitchen to see." The boy remembered that Al had also entered the kitchen just now. Although this guy is funny and easygoing, he is a veteran playboy.


    Sure enough, as soon as Ryan walked to the door of the kitchen, he heard Al¡¯s voice, "Nicole, your cooking skills are really good. This bacon omelet has a special flavor."


    "Really? Originally, I didn''t cook very much. In the past few years, I have to take care of Ryan, so I gradually exercised." Nicole''s laughter also came over.


    "Your relationship is really good, haven''t you thought about finding a father for Ryan?"


    "Stop kidding, Al, Ryan is just my brother."


    Ryan simply walked in, first looked at Nicole who was making bacon omelette, then looked at Al standing next to him, and said unceremoniously, "Hey Al, don¡¯t think about Nicole¡¯s idea. ! Otherwise I will show you good looks."


    "Hey, Ryan, you are a big little guy." Al''s eyes widened funny, and he looked like the blind colonel among women who smelled fragrance.


    "I''m telling the truth, Al, I know Chinese Kung Fu!" Then, the boy put on a nondescript Tai Chi starting style.


    Al Pacino chuckled, patted the boy''s head lightly, and walked out of the kitchen first.


    "Okay, Ryan, stop making trouble, and bring me a plate out." Nicole took off her apron and handed the boy a white porcelain disc filled with bacon omelettes.


    Although the dinner was not full, it was better than the crowds, especially in the middle of the meal, when Harvey Weinstein, the producer, drove over from New York, the fat guy''s current career barely got on track. It was not as expanded as it was later, and coupled with the exquisite nature, the atmosphere in the living room became more heated for a while.


    "It''s too troublesome to deal with people from the Children''s Association. They not only have to stipulate Ryan''s daily working hours, but also ask the tutor about the situation and study progress, and send someone to check in a few days. I''m really crazy." Ha Wei Weinstein sat at the dining table, complaining to Nicole and Ryan.


    "That''s none of my business." Ryan shrugged.


    "It''s none of your business? Ryan, you can''t say that. You didn''t let us arrange a tutor at the beginning, and you told the **** children''s association to go to hell."


    "Did I say that? I don''t remember." Seeing Nicole''s face turned dark, the boy denied it without even thinking about it.


    "Uh..." Harvey Weinstein froze for a moment, and then said, "Well, when the children''s association comes, I will throw the movie script to them, let them see, children who can write such a script Do you still need a **** tutor?"


    "Don''t worry, Harvey, I''ll find an extra to pretend to be a tutor by then." Ryan was just making bad ideas, "It''s only a trivial matter to deal with them at my level."


    "Wait!" Al Pacino interrupted the conversation with a sudden wave of his hand, "The script? The script of this movie? Ryan Jenkins...No way!"


    Al looked at the boy in surprise, his eyes staring like brass bells, as if he saw a Martian, "Harvey, you mean the Ryan Jenkins behind the screenwriter, and the one sitting opposite me." The little guy is the same person?"


    "Yes." Harvey Weinstein nodded and asked strangely, "Don''t you know? Has anyone told you?"


    "Oh, God!" Al Pacino covered his forehead, "I always thought it was two people with the same name and surname, hell! Ryan, why did you never say that you wrote the script?"


    "Hey, Al, you never asked!" The boy said with a wronged expression, "Do you want me to run to you and **** my tail and say, Mr. Al Pacino, the screenplay of "The Sixth Sense" I created it, please praise me quickly, please praise me."


    The boy''s words matched his movements and expressions, and they looked so funny that everyone couldn''t help but laugh at the same time.


    After laughing, Al still looked unbelievable. First he looked at David Fincher, then Harvey Weinstein, and then Nicole Kidman. The three of them nodded and confirmed. This is a fact.


    "Surprised, isn''t it, Al?" Harvey Weinstein seemed to feel the same way. "When David and I heard the news, they were not much better than you, and..."


    He looked at Nicole, Ryan, and Jinsli who were sitting together, "You are too uninteresting. You have kept such important news from me?"


    "Important news?" The three looked at each other, and obviously they didn''t understand what Mr. Fatty was talking about.


    Harvey Weinstein simply stopped being verbose. He quickly took out a weekend supplement of The New York Times from his briefcase and turned directly to the page of the bestseller list, "The latest issue of the bestseller list, The fifth place is "Jurassic Park", the thirty-first place is "Ryan Tales", and there is a book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" that did not make the list."


    "If it weren¡¯t for the New York Times that I bought last weekend, if it weren¡¯t for the writing style of these books that were so similar to the Sixth Sense script, if it weren¡¯t for the authors of these books, the name behind them was Ryan Jenkins. ¡­"


    "Come on, Harvey, I admit that those three books are all my works." The boy spread his hands. This is not a shameful thing, there is nothing bad to admit.


    "Oh, God!" Even though he had thought of this answer a long time ago, with Harvey Weinstein''s concentration in business for many years, he couldn''t help but let out a low exclamation.


    Al Pacino and David Fincher on the other side are also not much better, especially David Fincher, who is holding a fork and delivering a piece of bacon omelette to his mouth, but at this time it is like being caught by someone. When I pressed the pause switch, I sat there in a daze, motionless.


    And Al simply snatched the supplement from Harvey Weinstein''s hands, as if he would only believe it if he confirmed it with his own eyes.


    It wasn''t until a few minutes later that the other people in the restaurant calmed down, but all their eyes looking at Ryan changed. If he could write a script like "Sixth Sense", he could use his inspiration to burst out and combine his own experience. To explain, what about these works?


    "Jurassic Park" was published in 1986. How old was he then? He was just over six years old and less than seven years old. Other children at his age were still playing house, playing with Transformers and Barbie dolls, but he started to write books.


    If it was someone else, they would still wonder if it was a representative, but he was still an orphan in the orphanage at the time. He had no money and no power. Someone would have his brain flooded to give him a ghostwriter?


    What''s more, since the startup these days, the boy''s performance has fallen in their eyes. This is a precocious, intelligent and whimsical child, and they often feel that they are talking to an adult, as well as what he has shown in the filming. What does the outstanding acting skills show?


    Could it be that when God closed a window for him, he also opened a door for him, and this door is still the Arc de Triomphe!


    By this time, except for Ryan, everyone else had no desire to eat, and they were discussing what they left the restaurant.


    Even if such an episode happened, the filming still continued. At the request of Ryan and Harvey Weinstein, the others did not pass the incident outside tacitly.


    But after Ryan cooperated with the crew to deal with the people of the Children''s Association, UU read www. Uukanshu.com always felt that Mr. Fatty was planning something, especially looking into his own eyes, like a hungry wolf seeing fresh meat.


    As I said before, there are always ups and downs in the actor''s state. Al is the strongest in self-regulation, followed by Ryan, and Nicole is ranked last among the three main actors.


    "Ryan, you are a natural actor." It sounds like Nicole is complimenting him, but the following sentence reveals her true intentions, "There is also no trace of cheating people!"


    Obviously, Nicole recalled some of her past experiences, and now that this little guy was fooling her when she wanted to come here, but fortunately, it was all trivial matters, which was harmless.


    "Really? Nicole." Al Pacino didn''t know where he came out from, owed himself very gracefully, and said in a meaningful way, "Do you need me to help you discipline this escaped boy? Guy?"


    "Oh, **** it." Al suddenly felt chill in the costume he just put on, so he quickly took a bit in his abdomen, and a thin green object appeared in his hand, "What is this?"


    When Al leaned, Ryan had already jumped far away, curled his hands into horns, and shouted, "Hey, Al, stay away from Nicole, otherwise it won''t be the cactus leaves with the thorns cut off next time. "


    The people in the crew fell instantly and burst into laughter. After so many days, they had already noticed that Ryan and Al had a very good relationship. The two often made some innocuous jokes, and Al was teased. Obviously the number of times is far greater than the number of times he teases people.

 Chapter 15： In the play or dream

    There is no big scene in this movie. Strictly speaking, it is a scene between three or four people. The boy and the doctor, the boy and the mother, the doctor and the wife, and David Fincher also grasped the theme very well. , Thriller is just a coat, communication and family affection are what the movie really wants to express.


    Although under the strict requirements of David Fincher, the shooting speed is not fast, but it is also not slow, especially as time goes on, whether it is Al Pacino or Nicole Kidman, the state of The better, as for Ryan, he encountered a lot of troubles, and he was out of play longer and longer.


    "Cut!"


    After David Fincher yelled to stop, Ryan still sat on the high-back chair blankly, unable to recover, as if the whole world had abandoned him, he could only hide in his own world for comfort and protection.


    This is not the first time this situation has occurred. In the past, Al Pacino and the staff wanted to come forward and help him, but as soon as they approached the boy, he would be like Cole who saw the ghost in the script. , Became frightened, flinched and panicked.


    Whenever this happens, only Nicole Kidman can approach him normally, and only her arms can provide him with warmth and help.


    It took several minutes for Ryan to wake up, leaned **** the high-back chair, and let out a long sigh, saying that a good actor can move freely, but what about him? Can only put it but not take it, what''s the matter? Especially when he is immersed in Cole''s world, the extremely dark memories of his childhood in his previous life will always occupy his mind.


    "Ryan, you need to rest." David Finch made a solemn suggestion.


    "No, David." The boy shook his head resolutely, "I am in my best time now, please believe me?"


    David Finch persuaded a few more words. Seeing that the boy was resolute, he had to sit back in the director''s chair and start the adjustment. The shot below is considered one of the most important shots in this movie.


    Faint light reflected in the corridor. With the click, the door was opened to a gap. The boy in shorts and shorts poked his head out of the gap. His pale face was filled with hesitation. He was a little scared. After looking back and forth, he finally made up his mind and rushed into the toilet with twists and turns.


    Suddenly, the boy felt that something was passing behind him, and turned around slowly and in horror, standing in front of the toilet, looking so lonely and helpless.


    After hesitating for a while, the boy decided to go and have a look. He walked slowly. The hesitation on his face had become uneasy. At this time, the sound of kitchen utensils was heard in the kitchen. He thought his mother was Making breakfast, I feel a little more settled.


    walked into the brightly lit kitchen, the boy asked tentatively, "Mom?"


    The woman in the pink pajamas turned around abruptly and said in a low, sharp voice, "No! The dinner hasn''t been cooked yet, what do you want?"


    Her face was full of bruises, combined with a hysterical look, it was very terrible, she roared, angrily stretched out her hands, her wrists are full of deep knife marks, "You can''t hurt me anymore," Lanny! You made me like this!"


    The boy could no longer bear this scene of fear. He turned around abruptly and ran back to his bedroom desperately. However, the hysterical roar of the female ghost continued to be heard, and the boy went in without even thinking about it. In the red tent, facing the statues of the Virgin Mary and **** collected from the church, tears of helplessness and despair flowed down with suppressed crying.


    "cut!"


    Everyone, including David Fincher, breathed a sigh of relief. They did not expect that this important set of shots would be passed at one time. The boy was so outstanding, combined with his performance over the past month, except for the word genius. Besides, they really don''t know how to describe him.


    However, in the red tent they had overlooked, Ryan was still sitting motionless on the ground. The expression of loneliness, helplessness and despair not only did not disappear, but it became worse and worse. The pair of bright sky blue eyes gradually lost. Glorious, tears surging out like a flood that bursts a bank.


    The little boy with black hair and black eyes was unusually thin. The clothes he wore were not only shabby, but also had a lot of patches. The black schoolbag he was carrying was also shabby, and he almost bends his spine heavily.


    He pushed open the door of the classroom forcefully. Several classmates were playing games near the door. There was a very unfriendly light in their eyes. Then they disappeared. As he walked towards the seat, he didn''t know who brought it. Many people in the classroom shouted in unison, "Fool! Beggar! Fool! Beggar!"


    The little boy bit his lower lip forcefully, without even noticing the bleeding of blood, his body trembled uncontrollably, the tears in his eyes rolled, but he stubbornly refused to fall.


    "Fool! Beggar!"


    The booing voice grew louder and louder, he couldn''t bear it anymore, took off the black schoolbag he was carrying, and slammed it on the head of the male student closest to him, one, two...


    "You are just a trouble that will only cause us trouble, won''t they bear it? Look at you, who are you, all of you are wild children thrown away by your parents, why? I''m wrong. Do you dare to stare at me, I will let you stare..."


    The dean of the orphanage slapped the boy with one slap. The boy''s lips were bitten tighter, but there were no tears in his eyes.


    "Ryan!" David Fincher yelled, seeing the boy not only did not respond, but a trace of blood oozes from his lips. The bright sapphire eyes were gradually losing their luster, and he yelled anxiously. "Quick! Go and find Miss Kidman."


    Nicole was removing makeup. She didn''t even wear shoes, and rushed over barefoot, turning a blind eye to everything around her. She rushed directly into the tent where the boy was, and hugged him tightly into her arms.


    "Ryan! Ryan! Wake up!"


    The boy opened his eyes blankly, as if he only had this body left, Nicole''s heart trembled uncontrollably, and she felt that the boy was getting cold, not physically but spiritually. Yes, the Ryan she knew, the Ryan she loved, the Ryan she depended on, was getting farther and farther away from her, and seemed likely to disappear at any time.


    "No~ Ryan! Come back soon!"


    Nicole Kidman pressed her forehead tightly against the boy''s forehead, wanted to use her body temperature to warm the boy¡¯s colder soul, and wanted to use affectionate calling to recall the most important thing in her life. People.


    "Damn! I knew it, I knew it, I shouldn''t let you make this **** movie! Ryan, I swear! If you don''t wake up, I will definitely send you to the delivery school, or to the Catholic school! God and Satan swear at the same time! I swear, I will personally dismantle the orphanage that has plunged you into pain and darkness, and I will send that female black pig to Alcatraz!"


    Panic gradually appeared in Nicole''s eyes. She was hysterical and didn''t know what she was talking about. Fortunately, there were no black people in the crew, otherwise she would get into big trouble.


    Looking at the boy''s biting lips and the blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, Nicole could no longer control herself, her blue eyes flashed twice, and two bean-sized teardrops rolled down.


    The teardrops ran across her white cheeks, absorbed her breath, with emotions that permeated the soul, dripped on the corners of the boy''s cheeks and mouth, and fell into his heart that was gradually occupied by coldness and darkness.


    The character of the young man is extremely stubborn, like a short black hair standing on his head. He watched the beautiful girl go further and further, and the person who had given him warmth and light for ten years finally disappeared in his world forever. From that moment on, dark clouds covered the sun, and darkness replaced light.


    Time came that night again, drunk, smelly, and numb like a piece of rotten wood. The young man opened a bottle of beer and lifted it up to pour it into his throat. Suddenly, two drops of liquid fell from the sky and landed on it. His face.


    "Why are you so familiar? This breath, this feeling..." The young man finally remembered something, his hand loosened, and the wine bottle broke to the ground, "An Xin? No! This is Nicole!"


    "An Xin? Nicole!" Hearing the boy in his arms finally made a voice, Nicole quickly said, "Ryan, I am here! I''m by your side, I won''t go anywhere!"


    The boy¡¯s eyes blinked, and in his stunned eyes, UU Reading gradually recovered its brilliance, and his sky-blue eyes were getting brighter and brighter. Nicole could feel that the familiar Ryan was back again. It''s just... it''s just that she has a feeling that she can''t tell, and Ryan seems to be a little different again.


    "I''m sorry, Nicole, I worried you." The boy hugged her tightly, as if only this embrace in the world can make him feel warm and peaceful.


    "Ryan, if...if you can, don''t scare me like this in the future, okay?" Nicole panted lightly, until now she hadn''t calmed down.


    "Don''t worry, Nicole, I just remembered a lot of dark memories."


    "Then...who is An Xin?" After all, after living together for several years, Nicole also understands some Chinese.


    "An...An Xin?" Ryan is indeed a genius in acting. At this time, the surprised expression is completely natural, "I''m talking about-An Xin, Nicole!"


    He deliberately slowed down and said it again in Chinese word by word, so that Nicole could hear it thoroughly.


    "Nicole, I think Ryan needs a rest!" David Finch walked over at this moment, "Your shots are running out. I will give you a few days of vacation. Let Ryan go around for fun. , He was a little too deep in the drama."


    Too deep into the play? The boy sighed, he couldn''t tell if he was too deep in the play or fell into a dream.


    "All right." Nicole agreed and looked at the boy in her arms, "Where do you want to go, Ryan?"


    "New York!" Without even thinking about it, the boy gave this answer subconsciously.

 Chapter 16： Meet

    "The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States to commemorate the alliance between the United States and France during the American War of Independence. It was designed and completed by the famous French sculptor Bartodi over a period of ten years. It is a symbol of free will..."


    Standing at the top of the inside of the Statue of Liberty, Nicole talked freely, like a beautiful female tour guide.


    It''s been two days since I came to the Big Apple. Ryan and Nicole have visited many famous attractions, watched colorful neon advertisements in Times Square, scanned goods at boutiques on Fifth Avenue, watched dramas on Broadway, and experienced Central Park. The forest in the city.


    After passing the Hudson River Estuary, the two returned to Manhattan all the way. Anyway, they came out to enjoy themselves. They didn''t have a clear plan or goal. They basically didn''t care about where they went and where they went.


    "Ryan, why did you stop?" Nicole felt her hands sink, only to realize that the boy holding her hand suddenly stood in place. "The Petronas Twin Towers are one of the tallest buildings in the world, on the top floor. You can have a panoramic view of less than half of New York in the sightseeing room, don¡¯t you want to go?"


    "Nicole, let''s stop going. I don''t like the twin towers."


    Although it is only 1990, the shadow of previous life is lingering. He will not enter the World Trade Building even if Ryan is killed. "Let''s go to the Empire State Building."


    "okay then."


    The Empire State Building is located on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. It was built in 1930. It is also known as the symbol of the Big Apple along with the Statue of Liberty at the Hudson River Estuary, especially the top light, which is world-famous.


    After arriving at the viewing platform on the 86th floor, Ryan looked into the distance, which was the direction of Long Island.


    "What are you thinking about?" Nicole asked, seeing him in a daze.


    "Nothing?" Ryan came back to his senses, thinking of the Empire State Building-related script he hadn''t finished yet, "Nicole, I heard Pat said that a producer has invited you?"


    "Yes." Nicole nodded.


    Different from the previous life, "Various Horizons" landed in the United States earlier. What''s more interesting is that it was Miramax who introduced the film to North America. As the film entered the theaters, Nicole gradually became more popular in Hollywood. After gaining some fame, some producers began to send out invitations.


    "Unfortunately, they are all vase characters." With the experience of "Sixth Sense", Nicole''s vision is also picky.


    "I have prepared the next script for you." With the feelings between the two, there is naturally nothing to say.


    "Really? Why don''t I know?" Nicole raised her eyebrows, "What''s the content?"


    "It''s related to the Empire State Building, it''s too early to complete." The boy thought for a while, and then said, "I''ll give you a suggestion. It''s better not to make an appointment before the release of "Sixth Sense"."


    "Why?"


    "Because of the "Sixth Sense", your worth will definitely rise."


    "You kid, you have so much confidence?" Nicole didn''t comment, and stroked his hair tossed by the wind. "The script, please let me see it. If it doesn''t suit my mind, I won''t take it. ."


    "At home in Los Angeles, you will find it by yourself when you go back." The boy smiled. Nicole won''t read the manuscript he wrote unless he invites it. This is also considered a respect for his privacy.


    Not far from Manhattan, it is also a famous holiday destination. Long Island has attracted many people to settle here. Especially after World War II, a large number of middle-class and wealthy Jews also moved here, many of whom are from Jerusalem.


    After making a round in Winnett Park, Ryan simply took Nicole into the dessert shop at the entrance of the park. It was probably a weekend. There were many people in the shop, most of them were children accompanied by their parents. There was a table in the lower corner. After ordering two Black Forest cakes and two glasses of orange juice, Ryan and the others sat at that table.


    "The taste is okay, but it''s too sweet." These desserts are often natural enemies of beauty. Nicole just tasted a few bites before putting down the fork.


    "No! No! No! I want to be vegan!" A crisp girl voice came from the direction of the counter, "Thank you, give me another cup of hot orange juice!"


    The girl was holding a small tray, turned her head and looked around in the shop, and finally walked towards Ryan''s table.


    "May I sit here?" The girl asked very politely, showing excellent education.


    Ryan had been talking in a low voice with Nicole, until then did he notice the girl''s arrival. He turned his head, and the moment he saw the girl, his eyes were condensed, but he quickly lowered his eyes and concealed his heart. Fluctuating mood.


    "Of course!" Ryan replied politely. No one can see the change in his emotions. I have to say that the role playing in the past ten years has made the boy''s face unconscious. A veil has been put on.


    "Thank you!" The girl sat beside him.


    Ryan glanced at her calmly with the corner of her eye, dark brown hair with slightly curly mid-length, goose-egg-shaped face with angular faces is not so cute, and she also wears a bit of baby fat. The brown eyes gleamed with wisdom, and the small moles on her cheeks not only did not harm her appearance, but also added her temperament.


    Although she looks a lot younger than the impression she looks like, she is after all his favorite female celebrity. It was just an instant that he was sure that she should be her.


    "Hello, this is Ryan Jenkins!" The boy introduced himself very calmly.


    "Hello!" The girl nodded and said faintly, "Natalie Hurschle."


    The boy didn¡¯t say anything, and didn¡¯t do anything. He could see that the girl was slightly wary. If the information he had read was not too outrageous, the girl¡¯s precocity and wisdom would far exceed her age. And appearance.


    After eating the cake calmly, Ryan said lightly to the girl next to him before leaving, "Miss Natalie, it''s nice to meet you, so...bye!"


    "Strange boy!" Looking at the boys and girls walking out of the shop, Natalie shook her head and continued to taste her food.


    About half an hour later, Natalie walked out of the dessert shop and rode her small bicycle towards her home. Not long after her family moved to Long Island, as a Jewish girl born in Jerusalem, her father, a conservative doctor, asked her Develop a strict vegetarian habit. This habit is neither good nor bad. Since it is a requirement of the family, she can only follow it as usual.


    Winnett Park is not far from her home, but when she turned to the street in front of her house, an accident happened.


    Maybe only God knows what''s going on. When turning a corner, a child she knew called her from behind. Natalie turned her head in a ghostly manner. Then, the bicycle ran into a boy on the side of the road. That was unlucky. ''S boy was knocked directly to the ground by her.


    "Damn it!" Ryan cursed in a low voice. This is really a disaster. He just stood here with his head down and waited for Nicole who went to the convenience store. A daredevil hit him by riding a bicycle. You know, four cars on this road There is no problem with parallelism.


    "Sorry, you are not injured, are you?"


    It seemed that she was still a girl when she heard the voice, Ryan said in an angry voice, "I''m not dead yet, it''s just a broken leg."


    "Ah~"


    ß×~ Why does the voice sound familiar? The boy raised his head, his eyes widened in surprise.


    "It''s you?"


    As if their hearts were singular, the two spoke in unison.


    "Your leg is broken?" Natalie asked timidly.


    Ryan sighed, this collision seemed to be for nothing, and rolled his eyes, "just kidding."


    Natalie curled her lips without a trace, but she did something wrong after all, so she had to apologize again, "You are Ryan Jenkins, right? I''m very sorry, I was so careless."


    "Ryan, what''s the matter?" When I got out of the convenience store, Ni could see the boy sitting on the ground with a sloping bicycle next to him, and hurried over.


    "Nate, what happened?"


    A Ford also stopped on the side of the road at this time, and a middle-aged couple got out of the car and walked over.


    The thing was ridiculous as if it were shooting a movie, and the support team of both sides were all there in an instant, and Natalie did not shy away, and quickly explained what happened.


    The boy was not injured. With his body that he fumbled in the orphanage, there was no such tenderness, but Natalie¡¯s parents still invited him and Nicole to the house not far away to check it carefully. , Because Natalie¡¯s father is a doctor.


    "Mr. Avner, UU reading is just a little bruise." Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Ryan glanced at his somewhat red and swollen knees and didn''t care.


    "I''m sorry, Ryan, I was so reckless." Natalie had to apologize again under her father''s stern eyes.


    "It''s okay. Nat, can I call you that? Thank you." The boy was completely hitting a snake with a stick, and said with a smile, "Mr. Avner, don''t blame Nat, I am also responsible for this matter."


    Nicole sat next to the boy and gently rubbed his knees for him. Seeing that there was no problem, she helped him put down the rolled trouser legs. After all, this was just an accident. Ryan was not injured, and the perpetrator was still an accident. For younger girls, she can''t say anything.


    "Jerusalem, so you were born in Israel?"


    Just when Nicole had a few conversations with the Herschels, Ryan was about to get out of Natalie''s old bottom. Yes, she was indeed smart and precocious, but she was still too tender for boys.


    "Yes, it''s not long before we moved to New York." Natalie looked at the boy''s appearance carefully while she was talking, "Ryan, are you also Jewish? I think you have some Jewish characteristics in your appearance. ."


    really is a careful and smart girl! Ryan sighed in his heart.


    To be honest, he doesn''t know what blood it is, but according to Dean Katie''s speculation from his appearance, there should be a part of Nordic blood, and the appearance between the eyebrows and the eyes has a little Jewish characteristic.


    Anyway, at the end, the boy made a summary by himself, that is, a little ghost who can''t be mixed.

 Chapter 17： End shooting

    How to get closer to someone you just met? There may be many ways, but it is undoubtedly a good idea to have common interests and talk about some topics that interest her.


    "Yes, I have been learning dance since I was three years old, and I still perform in theater troupes, even now I often participate in community theater troupes, and I often participate in theater camps during holidays." Under Ryan''s invisible guidance, The topic of the two people quickly shifted to the performance. When talking about the experience of the performance, Natalie''s eyes sparkled, and she inadvertently lifted her small chin.


    "Which one do you prefer, dance or performance?" Ryan asked.


    "Performance!" Natalie gave this answer without even thinking about it, and then asked, "Ryan, are you also interested in acting?"


    The boy shrugged, but did not immediately answer. He and Natalie were in the corner of the living room, and on the other side of the sofa, Nicole was chatting with the H¨¹schlers. He saw these people who did not meet in previous lives. Putting it together is actually quite interesting.


    "Hey, Ryan, what shall I ask you?" Natalie wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction.


    Speaking of it, this guy who is only one year older than her is quite interesting. It is much better than the little kids in school and neighbors. Not only is it not naive, but mature like a little adult, especially when talking between them. He can always come up with ideas about the topic, and most of the provoking conversations are also things that interest her.


    is just a little bad, he seems to have difficulty concentrating, and he is constantly distracted.


    "Huh?" Ryan scratched his head, "What?"


    "Are you also interested in acting?" Natalie grinds her teeth and proudly raises her pointed chin, "I don''t have any experience in acting like this."


    "Can you see this too?" The boy deliberately rolled his eyes.


    "Of course?" Natalie seemed to hit him.


    "Actually, I''m participating in the shooting of a movie. How else would I have come to the East Coast from Los Angeles!" Ryan said lightly, as if it wasn''t a big deal.


    "Movie? Shooting?" Natalie''s eyes gradually widened, and then she showed a skeptical look, "Come on, Ryan, I''m not a fool, you can''t fool me."


    "It''s true. If you don''t believe me, ask Nicole." Ryan pointed to the center of the living room. "Do you know? Miss Nicole Kidman, a famous Australian movie star. She starred in "Skyflight", which is currently being released in North America. Yes, you just have to make a phone call and ask the theater to know the truth."


    Natalie would naturally not be so boring, but after hearing the boy say this, she gradually believed in 70% of her heart, but she was still not convinced. After all, everyone who had watched her performance said she was a genius, and she was compared to her peers. What''s the matter, "Isn''t it because of Nicole, you played a small character in it who doesn''t even have a line?"


    "Oh, Nat, what you said is so shocking." Ryan put on an injured appearance.


    "Huh~"


    Ryan and Nicole did not stay for long, and they said goodbye before dinner. Although he and Natalie had a lot of verbal confrontations, they had a good time talking, especially before they knew it, Natalie. Li was concocted by him a lot. This girl was just like what he had seen in his previous life. Because she was too smart and precocious, she was not popular among her peers and had few friends.


    With just a small display of tricks, the boy asked for her home phone number and mailing address, and made it clear that today¡¯s topic of art was not a winner, and he would write to her when he returned to Los Angeles. She must be refuted.


    Children of this age are the most competitive, Natalie will naturally not be convinced, and also said that she would show him good looks in the letter.


    Nicole was a little happy to meet someone his age who could talk to a boy for the first time. You know, although she has never talked about it, she has always been worried. If Ryan doesn¡¯t associate with her peers, it will affect his growth. Very unfavorable, and this girl named Natalie, she has also observed, is indeed very smart.


    Does it mean that smart children only associate with smart children? This was an idea that Nicole came up with inadvertently after returning to Philadelphia.


    The trip to New York kept Ryan hidden in his heart, and some things that emerged from the shooting were pressed back into the darkest and deepest part of my heart.


    After meeting Natalie and talking with her on the phone before leaving New York, Ryan began to work hard to get rid of the terrible state of often failing to distinguish between dreams and reality. Since he already exists in this world, why bother to struggle again If everything in the previous life continues like this, one day you will split your personality and become a mentally ill person.


    After entering mid-November, the film began its finishing work. Ryan followed the crew, sometimes fought on the streets, sometimes entered the church, sometimes became a problem student, and even played a role on the stage in the movie. King Arthur and the sword in the stone.


    Probably after more than a month of experience, the boy''s state has stabilized a lot, and the problem of difficulty in performing a play has been solved to a considerable extent. At least there will be no more situation where Nicole can not get out of the play and let Nicole come to help. , And his perfect interpretation has almost been unanimously praised by David Fincher and Al Pacino.


    "David, now you won''t complain about the actors I picked."


    During the filming, Harvey Weinstein and David Fincher had some exchanges. Mr. Fatty still remembers the complaints of David Fincher at the time. The actress is too beautiful like a vase, and the little boy has never seen him. , Maybe it will be a disaster for this movie.


    "But now I still want to say that Miss Nicole Kidman is too beautiful. Of course, her acting is as good as her appearance. As for Ryan, I would like to ask you, Harvey, where did you find it? With such a perversion, I believe that after this movie is released, everyone will compare him with Judy Foster!"


    David Fincher took a breath, he suddenly felt that this movie could become his debut, and it must be the favor of the goddess of luck.


    Patting David Fincher''s arm, Harvey Weinstein walked to the other side. During this time, he had carefully read all the books published by the boy, even though they were full of childishness. The stories, but undoubtedly, are very exciting. To be precise, these should be classified into novels of all ages. Most importantly, these stories are extremely suitable for adaptation into movies.


    Even, he felt that when the boy was writing these stories, he had already figured out what he would do in the future!


    This is a gold mine! No, it is clearly a treasure island with countless treasures!


    Ryan stretched out a long, lazy waist. If it were an average child, after experiencing such a boring shooting and work, he would have been mentally withered and tired and yawned.


    Similarly, the boy was a little tired, but he clearly felt that his seemingly thin body was much stronger than he thought.


    There were several night shots, all of which were past 12 o¡¯clock, but after a night¡¯s rest, he would be refreshed and full of vitality the next day.


    Actually, this situation has appeared in recent years. Otherwise, where would he have so much energy to plagiarize so many works?


    "...She wants me to tell you that she will go to see you dancing!" The mother sitting in the driving seat turned her head in disbelief, and the boy''s emotional and slightly hoarse voice did not stop, "Grandma said you are young I quarreled with her once, just before performing the dance..."


    As the boy told her, the mother slowly covered her mouth. She didn''t know when there were tears in her eyes, and finally couldn''t help crying.


    The boy looked at her, "Grandma''s answer is...every day!"


    Looking at the mother who was hiding her face and crying, the boy asked, "What did you ask her at that time?"


    The sobbing mother tried to suppress her excitement and placed her hands on her chest unconsciously, "I... did I make her proud!"


    The boy''s lips moaned, it seemed to be talking about mother, and it seemed to be talking about Nicole. The two in the car could no longer suppress the excitement, and hugged each other tightly, and the deep family affection was flooded. Every corner of the car.


    "great!" David Finch clenched his fist hard, and then subconsciously touched his acidic nose. Suddenly he felt that after the filming today, UU Reading www.uuk¨¡nshu.com should call his parents.


    Others are not much better than the director. Several emotional people are even quietly wiping their tears. This set of shots is so perfect and so touching, but no one applauds, because the pair of brothers and sisters are still tight. Hug together.


    "Nicole!" Ryan exhausted all his strength to embrace the woman who cared for him wholeheartedly, "I love you! You are the best person to me in this world!"


    "I love you too, Ryan!" Ni can vigorously rubbed the back of the boy''s head until she rubbed her light brown hair into a bird''s nest, still reluctant to let go.


    This is the last shot of Ryan and Nicole. Although there is still a short distance from the filming, they can leave Philadelphia and return to Los Angeles.


    You can¡¯t go back anymore. St. John¡¯s Primary School has called several times, saying that the boy¡¯s time off is too long. If he can¡¯t return to school before December, he can only repeat the grade in the new school year. Even if he goes back now, There is a test waiting for him.


    Of course, none of these will be seen by the boy. The quiz at this age is just a trifling matter for him.


    That night, the crew held a small party, which was regarded as a farewell to the two of them. Compared with the somewhat cold and arrogant Nicole Kidman, the boy was more popular in the crew, although he would make troubles from time to time. , And love to tease people, but almost everyone recognized him.


    Especially Al Pacino, who has been teased by boys the most times, but has the best relationship with boys. When the boy left, he specially gave him an amethyst lucky stone.

 Chapter 18： New year

    The figure suddenly disappeared in the 1980s, and the footsteps of the 1990s quietly descended. Ryan Jenkins was ten years old. Unfortunately, he knew that he must be born in 1980, but he didn¡¯t know the specific birthday, so he had to say , This is a very sad thing.


    After entering 1990, many important things happened in the world. For example, the situation in the Middle East suddenly became tense. The hanged ghost president seemed to detonate the gunpowder keg. For example, the Red Empire opened the end of the sunset mode, and the sight of it was about to end, such as the dramatic changes in Eastern Europe. Unstoppable, another huge market is about to open its doors to Hollywood movies.


    But, all of this has nothing to do with him. What makes Ryan the most happy after entering the new year is that it finally ushered in the long vacation, and there is no need to go to that **** school.


    After filming "Sixth Sense" and returning to school, Ryan passed the test easily, but Nicole became a confession at first. Only a week later, she was invited to the school by the principal. The old principal listed her. He didn''t listen to the lectures, didn''t communicate with others, didn''t respect the teacher, always did his own thing, never told others what he did and so on.


    If the old principal is proficient in Chinese, he would definitely use one word to describe the boy¡¯s guilt-it is too numerous to write!


    "Miss Kidman, as a guardian, we hope you can have a good talk with Ryan Jenkins." These were the words of the old principal at the time.


    How could Nicole not know the boy¡¯s old problems? After all, when she was in London, she was often invited to school by the principal, but what made her headache was that she really didn¡¯t know how to solve it. All of Ryan¡¯s grades were A, In addition to the whimsical and occasional behavioral excursions, no matter what, it is the best among children of the same age or even higher age.


    Sometimes, she wondered whether she should let Ryan drop out of school and hire him a special tutor, but when she thinks that boys don¡¯t like to socialize with peers, doing so will only make him more withdrawn, and she will The idea of ??strangling to death quickly.


    "Dear Nat, congratulations on your once again on the stage of the community theater. Unfortunately, you are far away in New York, and I can¡¯t go over to watch your performance. In the last letter, I can¡¯t agree with you about your views on art. In my opinion, all art forms existed as entertainment before they became art. No matter how rigorous, profound, and meaningful art that cannot be accepted by the public, it will only go on the path of extinction, historically. Development is proof of this. If I can, I really want to have a debate with you face to face..."


    After returning to Los Angeles from Philadelphia, the boy and Natalie would communicate almost once a week. Although they would encourage each other, they were more about debates or escaping. Especially in art, the two people had almost the same views. There is a world of difference, and each letter will include his own opinions, so as to refute the other party.


    Tucked the letter paper into the envelope and sealed it. Ryan heard the door knock, and it must be Nicole who was out to shoot the commercial.


    "Hi, Nicole, you look a little tired, do you want something to drink? Juice or coffee?"


    Walking into the living room, the boy saw that Nicole''s face was full of fatigue, and took the initiative to walk into the kitchen.


    "Juice is all you need, I don''t dare let you make coffee again, otherwise the neighbors will definitely complain!"


    Hearing Nicole¡¯s words, the boy¡¯s face was covered with black lines. Just after the New Year, he finally found his worst talent. It was about cooking and the only time he took the initiative to make coffee and almost took the entire kitchen. Exploded.


    "Okay." The boy poured two glasses of strawberry juice and put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.


    "Ryan, how did you solve it for lunch?" Nicole went to Malibu today, and the time was tight and did not come back at noon.


    "The takeaway ordered, Mr. Zhou''s restaurant!"


    Brother Atang is also very interesting, if it weren''t for him, the boy wouldn''t know that there is such an authentic Chinese restaurant.


    Speaking of Brother Tom, he hasn''t given up on Nicole. He made an appointment with her again after Christmas. Unfortunately, Ryan answered the call. The unscrupulous boy didn''t let him go anymore, but just asked him. How does it feel to wash your face with pepper water, Mr. Tom Cruise hung up the phone.


    "Nicole, I made a new song today. Would you like to listen to it?"


    With the passage of time, the boy¡¯s level of composing has improved very quickly. Although his voice has not changed, his voice has become a lot more mature than before. The songs he sang are much more pleasant to listen to. The neighbors around him rarely come to the door, even Many people think that listening to him sing is a kind of enjoyment.


    Miss Nicole Kidman is naturally included.


    took out the handmade acoustic guitar from the room and sat on the high chair. The boy plucked the strings and the ding-dong music rang.


    This is a very simple piece with a style biased towards popular country folk songs. After a short prelude, the boy¡¯s slightly immature singing sounded, ¡°Life is like climbing, and the road ahead is always full of obstacles. People who never give up, run forward with their heads held high until they reach the highest and most beautiful place..."


    The lyrics of ¡¡¡¡ are not long, and some are simple, but they are full of inspirational flavor. With the bright rhythm, it gives people a positive feeling.


    "How do you feel, Nicole?" The boy looked at the glamorous girl expectantly.


    "Ryan, you surprised me more and more." Even though I was numb by the boy''s performance over the years, Nicole Kidman couldn''t help but sighed, "I know a little bit about music. Although this song is simple, it already has a level that can be produced!"


    "Wow, it looks like I am really a genius!" This time the image of the red-haired monkey did not appear.


    "Ryan, what I want to say is that you have learned a lot and your energy is limited. Do you still want to be a singer in the future?"


    "Why not?" The boy spread his hands and made a natural expression. Before Nicole spoke again, he said first, "Nicole, I know what you mean. I know the truth about how greedy you are. , Don¡¯t worry, I have enough time and energy."


    "Don''t worry? In the past month, I was invited to the school by the principal of St. John''s Primary School three times. How can you rest assured?"


    Life is like this. You can''t cover everything. If you want to get something, you have to give up something. What''s more, for a child, time is really precious. He can never waste the most precious things in those that have almost nothing. Significant learning, right?


    Yes, maybe in the near future, or after entering middle school, he must take a certain amount of time to study to avoid his grades being too ugly, but that is definitely not the elementary school level.


    Compared with the somewhat terrifying ducking education experienced in previous lives, American elementary education is too easy. Strictly speaking, it is more like enlightenment education. These simple knowledge, even if it is American history that Ryan did not know in his previous life, is After reading the textbook once, it was easy to deal with.


    During the holidays, Ryan had more time to complete the two unfinished scripts, but don¡¯t worry now, as he said to Nicole Kidman, everything waits for the "Sixth Sense" "I''ll talk about it after the movie.


    The boy always believed that even if David Fincher was in charge of the movie director for the first time, and his debut was several years ahead of his previous life, he might not be inferior to the director of Asan. What''s more, as a producer, Harvey Weinstein, In the past life, the vision is notoriously poisonous. As long as the two people''s heads do not cramp, the movie will not be much worse than the previous life.


    What''s more, this subject matter is extremely rare now, and it accurately reflects the focus of attention of mainstream American society¡ªfamily!


    A week later, the boy went to Miramax¡¯s studio in Burbank to dub the film that was in post-production. Of course, it was just a few clips.


    "Wow, David, are you editing?" The boy looked at the pile of equipment in the room, including the deck, and asked David Fincher who was supervising.


    "Yes, Ryan."


    "Then what do these machines do?"


    Ryan is like this one hundred thousand why, he caught the director and threw a big question. After David Finch finished answering, his throat started to smoke.


    Compared with shooting, the post-production of movies is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, and even more cumbersome. If it is a big-scene science fiction film, it will be even more troublesome.


    Speaking of it, David Fincher does not have much power in post-production. The edited samples must be decided by Harvey Weinstein. No way. This is Hollywood, not here. In Hong Kong, directors do not have that much power.


    Hollywood is the prevailing producer system. Unless a major director is also a producer, it is difficult to obtain the final editing rights. It is even more impossible for a new director in the film industry like David Fincher to have such power.


    "Harvey, when will the movie be released?"


    When seeing Harvey Weinstein, Ryan asked curiously.


    "Of course the sooner the better." After knowing him for almost half a year, Harvey Weinstein has gradually figured out how to get along with the boy. When he is discussing business matters with you, don''t treat him as a child, otherwise Will definitely be taken into the pit, "It is now set to be early April, and it depends on the progress of post-production."


    Ryan squeezed his small chin. In his opinion, this movie is best arranged in the summer, but he is just the screenwriter and starring role of the movie, and he is not so stupid that he can''t distinguish his identity and weight. He simply closed his mouth.


    Besides, the release in April is not without benefits. There are almost no heavyweight movies in this schedule. You can sign a long contract with theaters to extend the screening time. As long as the box office can reach the bottom line in his mind, it will be enough.


    Ryan remembered the seemingly trivial contract he and Nicole signed with Miramax. If the movie can really meet his expectations, I wonder if Harvey Weinstein will be with Kings. Rei''s negotiator fired.


    (There is still a chapter before the zero point, and the signing text message has been received in the background..)

 Chapter 19： School and phone

    St. John¡¯s Elementary School, like most American schools, adopts small-class teaching. There are only a dozen students in each class. Ryan sits in the corner of the last row, holding a pen and writing books. As for What the teacher said before, I''m sorry, it doesn''t have much to do with him.


    "Ryan!" Mr. Bartok seemed to be asking a question, only to find that after he called his name, the guy didn''t move, "Ryan Jenkins!"


    "Ah~" The boy finally heard someone call his name, scratched his head, and said very bachelor, "I''m sorry, Mr. Bartok, I''m lost."


    "Okay." Anyway, this situation has been staged many times, and Mr. Bartok simply repeated his question, "Which four presidential statues are there on President Hill?"


    President Mountain? Capitol Hill? Ryan thought for a while, and felt that it should not be the same place. Since the statue can be erected, it must be a famous American president, "George Washington, Arabraham Lincoln..."


    Seeing Mr. Bartok nod his head gently, the boy felt a little more confident in his answer. Anyway, the American president he knew the name was either assassinated or very famous. I think it should not be the short-lived ghosts. "Franklin ? Roosevelt."


    Mr. Bartok frowned.


    "Ah, I remember, John F. Kennedy and George Bush."


    When the name behind him came out, some of the classmates in the classroom snickered, and the corners of Ryan''s mouth trembled. In his urgency, the old cowboy''s name blurted out.


    Fortunately, the bell for the end of get out of class rang, ending Ryan''s embarrassment. What is rare is that Mr. Bartok did not say anything. He packed up the teaching materials and left the classroom.


    The time has entered April. Los Angeles is sunny and sunny. The second class in the afternoon is physical education. There is no broadcast gymnastics, no simplified Tai Chi, and more enlightenment and fun games, as well as baseball and basketball. .


    Of course, football is the most popular here, but because of age, the school has some restrictions in this regard.


    "Ryan, don''t you feel bored? How about playing baseball together?" It was the tallest child in the class except him, named Jerry, who had the same name as the famous mouse.


    This is not the first time the other party has invited him. Like all transfer students, when they come to a new school, they will always encounter some troubles, but Ryan knocks down the sixth-grade black big man who came to find fault. , Everyone''s eyes on him changed, and some small groups of children of the same age wanted to invite him to join.


    "That... okay." Ryan nodded in response. Jerry and the people around him, although a little naive, were pretty good.


    After a simple warm-up, Ryan took over the children''s bat, learned the appearance of a professional athlete on the TV, and assumed a standard batting posture.


    "Wow, Ryan, you look professional." Peter, the receiver behind the boy, disturbed.


    Jerry tossed the baseball lightly upwards, looking confident, just as Peter''s words sounded, he threw the baseball in his hand after a fake move.


    "°ð~"


    The seemingly fast baseball was extremely slow in Ryan''s eyes. He swung the bat and hit it hard.


    With a "swish", the baseball soared into the sky, and after flying dozens of feet away, it landed on the ground.


    "Wow~ Ryan, that''s great!" The crowd on the sidelines cheered and was happier than the boy, "Homer~"


    Jerry blinked with an unbelievable look. After a while, he said, "Ryan, you should join our baseball team!"


    "Come on, Jerry, you know, I''m very busy." The boy refused without thinking.


    "Yeah, we all know you are busy, but no one knows what you are up to? Ryan, what do you write every day?" When Jerry asked, other classmates shouted in the distance." Hey, can you help us throw the basketball over?"


    It was the sound from a small outdoor basketball court separated by a barbed wire from the baseball field. The ghost knew how these guys did it, and they were able to throw basketballs here.


    Ryan stepped forward and stepped on the bouncing basketball under his feet. With a light toe, the basketball lifted off the ground almost subconsciously. He did more than a dozen fancy **** in a row, even though he didn''t play much in his life. Past, but those techniques that were practiced in the previous life seem to be imprinted in the soul.


    "Hey, Ryan, return the basketball to us quickly."


    I couldn''t wait to start urging, Ryan simply picked it hard, and when the ball fell, he drew on the ball with the tight outer instep of his right foot.


    His original intention was to kick the ball through the barbed wire and return it to those in the distance. Who knows, in the stunned everyone, the basketball drew a beautiful parabola, hit the backboard, and made a "clam". After that, he fell into the basket with great accuracy.


    Everyone, including Ryan himself, looked at each other, what''s the matter?


    In the sound of inhaling cold air, the boy can only scratch his head. Even if David Beckham comes, he may not be able to play so accurately. Well, he admits that although his previous life is among the fans, his skills are still Not bad, but this kick is completely blind, and let him kick a hundred times, or even a thousand times, may not be so accurate.


    "Hey, Ryan, wait for me."


    The boy was walking towards the school gate with his schoolbag on his back. Jerry and the others chased him up from behind, "Are you going home? Why don''t we go and play together."


    "Sorry, Jerry." Walking out of the school gate, Ryan pointed to an Audi on the side of the road, "Someone has come to pick me up, let''s get another day."


    Watching the boy follow a tall girl into the car, Peter asked, "Is that Ryan''s mother? It looks so beautiful."


    "No, I''ve heard people say that it seems to be Ryan''s sister." Jerry seemed thoughtful, "It''s really more beautiful than the big stars on TV."


    Back to the apartment, Nicole checked the time. It was not too early, so he had to hurry, entered the cloakroom, and took out the dress prepared for the boy.


    "Ryan, hurry up, can you handle it by yourself?" Nicole asked.


    "No problem, it''s just a trivial matter." The boy took the dress and walked into his room.


    A white shirt, a dark blue western dress, and a bow tie of the same color. Although it is a bit troublesome to wear, it is not that difficult for Ryan, who has received a year of British etiquette education.


    Compared to when he was shooting "Sixth Sense", he has grown a lot taller now. His thin body has gradually gained some muscles. After long-term unremitting exercise, he finally saw the effect.


    "Ryan, the phone is ringing, go pick it up."


    It was no ordinary trouble for women to dress up. The boy had to quickly adjust the clothes and ran into the living room.


    "Hello, this is Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman!"


    "Ryan, you annoying fellow, you deceived me!" There was a somewhat familiar girl''s voice opposite.


    "Nate?" the boy asked tentatively.


    "Yes, it''s me. Ryan, isn''t the little boy on the Sixth Sense poster you?" Natalie was obviously questioning.


    "Yup¡­"


    "Then why are you deceiving me, saying that you are a small character without lines in the movie."


    The boy blinked, this...this is obviously a slap, "Hey, Nat, I remember it very clearly, you said this sentence!"


    "Really?" Natalie on the phone seemed to be reminiscing. After a while, she still said unconvinced, "But you didn''t deny it at the time."


    "But I didn''t admit it either!" Just like when talking on the phone in the past, the two of them always started screaming before they could say a few words.


    "Also, is the Ryan Jenkins behind the screenwriter also you?"


    "Yes it is."


    "Why didn''t you tell you, because you said it was my friend, you deceived me, Ryan!"


    "Hey, Nat, have you never asked, okay? Am I going to jump in front of you and say to myself, dear Nat, I wrote a script and played a major role in it?"


    "Then you discussed so many movie topics with me in your letter, but you never mentioned it."


    "I didn''t mention it because I was afraid of hitting your young and fragile heart." Anyway, the boy just entangled him arrogantly.


    "Do you think such a small matter can hit me?" Natalie''s vicious voice came through the earpiece. "Ryan, wait and see, I will definitely give it to you when we meet next time." You look good."


    "Then I will wait and see."


    After the routine quarrel ended, the two of them spoke a lot more calmly. After asking about each other''s recent situation, Ryan said, "Will you go to see this movie, Nat?"


    "Yes. I have asked my mother to buy the tickets."


    "Let''s do this." Seeing Nicole appear in the living room, the boy realized that the call should be over, "Say hello to Mr. Avner and Mrs. Shelly for me."


    This is the first weekend since April. The post-production "Sixth Sense" has already been completed. After a series of publicity, it will finally be released. Twenty million US dollars are coming to Miramax That said, it''s already a big investment. Anyway, the money has been spent so much, so it is necessary to hold a premiere.


    As the screenwriter of the movie and one of the most important actors, Ryan received Harvey Weinstein¡¯s notice early. Of course, at his current age, he can find an excuse to refuse, but he has already set the road for the future. Set in this circle, as his works increase, it will be sooner or later to participate in the premiere.


    Besides, any circle has its own rules of the game, and those who break the rules will not be welcomed anywhere. What''s more, he and Harvey Weinstein have already reached an agreement on certain things in publicity.


    From the boy''s point of view, stretching one''s head and shrinking one''s head is also a knife. Why not use this opportunity to maximize the benefits you can get?


    ask for collection~~ ask for tickets~

 Chapter 20： The 6th Sense Premiere

    The afterglow of the setting sun gradually dissipated, and darkness enveloped the entire sky unknowingly. The city of angels under the curtain of night, neon flickering and brightly lit.


    The voice of outsiders at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood was full, and the long red carpet spread far and wide. As celebrities stepped onto the red carpet, the click of the camera shutter became a piece of information. At the same time, fans cheered and reporters asked questions. , The clamor of the paparazzi, also disturbed one after another.


    Putting down the camera in his hand, Mick Taylor breathed a sigh of relief temporarily. He is a reporter for the entertainment edition of the Los Angeles Times. He is used to seeing all kinds of big scenes. If this is not the off-season of the movie schedule, if it is not Miramax''s promotion The news released by the time, such a movie that only depends on Al Pacino to support the scene, it is difficult for him, the trump card, to be dispatched in person. ,


    "Mick, is Miramax deliberately hyping?" his assistant asked at this time. "It is good for a ten-year-old child to read fluently. Writing movie scripts? Is this possible, unless he is a Martian. ."


    "Didn''t you see that there is only one name behind the screenwriter, which is exactly the same as the one in the cast list. Who is this Ryan Jenkins? Did he pop out of the stone?"


    In Mick Taylor¡¯s opinion, since Miramax dared to state clearly in the propaganda that the script was written by a child or adapted it from him and his guardian, then he must have absolute certainty, otherwise, it¡¯s even haha. No matter how thick-skinned Wei Weinstein is, he dare not do anything to fool the public.


    "Hey, Mick, here it should be them!"


    A tall and glamorous **** girl walked onto the red carpet with a boy who was about ten years old. The assistant quickly reminded Mick Taylor.


    Despite some nervousness in his heart, Ryan still managed to stabilize his mind. In any case, he had worked in a large movie theater for many years in his previous life and saw all kinds of red carpets, which helped him somewhat.


    "Smile, Ryan, your face is almost as tight as a stone." Nicole Kidman reminded in a low voice.


    Well, the people on both sides are all rocks, and the reporters and paparazzi are all rotten eggs. Ryan started self-hypnosis. Even though the flashing and turning off lights made him feel uncomfortable, he still squeezed a smile on his face.


    "Miss Nicole Kidman, this should be your first Hollywood work. Are you planning to stay in Hollywood to develop?"


    "Miss Kidman, it is said that this movie is based on the personal experience of you and... Ah, this little Mr. Ryan, is it true?"


    When ¡¡¡¡ came to the reporter area, all kinds of questions came, but Nicole didn''t mean to answer, ignored the clamor, took the boy''s hand, and walked directly to the front of the theater.


    Ryan glanced at this famous theater. To tell the truth, in his opinion, the name of the Chinese Theater is too untrue. Not only does it lack a little Chinese architectural style, but it is similar to a country rich in shemales. Maybe it should be changed to Thailand. theater?


    "Hi, Al, and David, it''s been a long time since I saw you." The boy greeted him actively.


    "Ryan, you''ve grown a lot taller." Al Pacino walked over, habitually trying to pat the boy on the shoulder, and suddenly thought of what happened before, stopped quickly, but stopped in the air. It looks very funny.


    "Al, don''t worry, there are no pushpins under my dress."


    Hearing the boy¡¯s joking words, everyone in the crew gathered here laughed. They remembered very clearly that during the filming, the boy often patted Al Pacino on his shoulder in order to avenge Al Pacino, deliberately removing the sharp head. The thumbtacks are inserted upside down in the sweater under the clothes, waiting for him to snare.


    After taking a photo with the main creators of the crew, he and Nicole went straight into the theater. The premiere was not big, and the number of celebrities invited was not many. Besides, the Hollywood celebrities of the early nineties, except for a limited number Most of the boys don¡¯t know each other. Even if they have seen it in some movies, they have almost forgotten.


    Besides, he is still a child and has no reputation. Few people will talk to him. In order not to disturb the long-sleeved dance Nicole in the crowd, the boy simply found a corner and planned to wait for the time to go directly into the theater. watch a movie.


    Unexpectedly, he hadn¡¯t walked far and saw a few people chatting together. One of them was standing there, as solid as a hill, and his iconic figure was somewhat paralyzed. Face, let him recognize who the other party is in an instant.


    Ryan didn''t leave at all, and he couldn''t directly greet him, so he stood aside, planning to hear what they were saying, because he knew the beard who spoke.


    "Carroco Films has integrated the copyright, and I have driven out the main line of the script. Although there are still many problems, the basic framework of the film is already in place. What is lacking now is funds. I can''t do anything without sufficient funds. . "It was the bearded man who was talking.


    "Jim thinks that the film will cost at least 80 million dollars in investment."


    "80 million? How can 80 million dollars be enough, at least 100 million dollars!" The beard stretched out a finger.


    "God, Jim, sooner or later you will scare all investors away."


    "Will the T800 robot played by Arnold this time be a decent one?" another person asked.


    "That''s right." Beard sighed, and there seemed to be a lot of embarrassment. "Although I have a lot of ideas for the villain''s robot, I have never thought about what kind of robot will meet the future Skynet killer. Identity."


    "A liquid robot!" The voice of the slightly naive boy suddenly came from behind them, "This machine killer from the future should be composed of a liquid alloy, which can be simulated to be similar to the volume he has touched. Objects, including humans, and their bodies can be transformed into various cold weapons, killing people like numb, without emotion and reason!"


    In the eyes of everyone''s surprise, Ryan was not ashamed, "Hello, Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Mr. Cameron, I think you are talking about the sequel to "Terminator." Huh? I just passed by here by accident and accidentally heard your conversation. I hope you don''t mind."


    "It''s okay." The boy on the other side was polite, and he couldn''t help but feel good when he saw him.


    "Little guy, how did you think of this robot?" James Cameron asked curiously.


    "I''ve watched "Terminator"." Ryan quickly stuck his tongue out, "Please don''t tell others, okay? Actually, many plots in the first part can be extended, such as the future savior, I think this one The movie will definitely make a second part, and sometimes it¡¯s crazy, if Mr. Schwarzenegger is allowed to play a robot that protects the savior, what should his opponent be like?"


    "If the T800 is a heavy tank, then his opponent should have completely different characteristics. I like Transformers very much, so I thought of a robot that can change forms at will, a liquid that is as fast as a Porsche. Metal robot!"


    These words the boy said are clearly organized and well-founded, as if these things were really thought of by him.


    These words obviously touched James Cameron. He looked at the boy thoughtfully, and then asked after a long time, "Little guy, what is your name? How do I look familiar to you."


    "Ryan Jenkins, you can call me Ryan."


    "Ryan Jenkins?" Arnold Schwarzenegger was more sensitive in interpersonal relationships, and immediately remembered something, "Are you the little boy in "Sixth Sense"?"


    "Yes. I played a role." The boy saw Nicole on the other side beckoning him, so he said, "I''m sorry, I''m leaving."


    "It''s ok."


    Seeing the little boy walking into the theater holding a woman''s hand, Arnold Schwarzenegger asked, "Jim, this setting sounds good."


    "It''s more than good." James Cameron sighed slightly, and the problem that had plagued him for a long time was solved in this way. "A very good idea."


    James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger also walked towards the screening hall, but before entering the door, Cameron subconsciously glanced at the "Sixth Sense" poster placed there. In a hurry, I saw only one line-screenwriter: Ryan Jenkins.


    After the opening of Miramax, the movie kicked off. The actor of this movie is an out-and-out tragedy. He just hangs up at the beginning. Of course, these will not appear until the end of the movie.


    Unlike other people, while watching the movie, Ryan subconsciously compares with another movie in his mind.


    I have to say that David Fincher was called a geek director in his previous life. It is indeed not an illusion. Although this movie is at most 60 to 70% similar to the one in the previous life. There is a common problem with movies of this era¡ªthe rhythm is slow.


    However, this has just entered the nineties, fast food culture has not yet risen, and, in terms of suspense and emotional conflict, David handled extremely meticulously and brilliantly. There are many plots to remind the audience what psychologists are like. exist.


    Communication, communication and family are almost never outdated subjects in North America. What''s more, the movie has played such a big trick. You must know that this kind of method that is almost rotten in the new century is not to say that it is unique in this era. It is also very rare.


    When everyone was so touched by the emotional explosion of Cole and his mother, thinking that this was the end of the movie, the psychologist returned home and discovered the shocking fact that he was dead!


    Many people unconsciously remembered what the little boy said-I can see ghosts, they don''t know they are dead, they walk around like us, only seeing what they want to see-it suddenly dawned on me.

 Chapter 21： Praise

    Listening to the enthusiastic applause erupting in the theater, Ryan''s heart was completely put back in his stomach. If he had only some vague concepts when shooting, then he had seen this movie which was not inferior to the original. After that, he has strong confidence in the path he has chosen.


    I remember someone said that no matter how talented an actor is, his acting skills are honed, but what am I? Does it take ten years to sharpen the sword? The boy laughed at himself, maybe acting has become an instinct for me.


    Many people came forward and congratulated the crew. The boy also gained a lot.


    "Ryan, your performance is amazing." These are what Arnold Schwarzenegger said.


    "Unexpectedly, little guy, you are still the screenwriter of this movie." James Cameron''s eyes flickered, as if he was thinking of something.


    "Congratulations, Nicole, your acting is as amazing as your beauty." Harvey Weinstein looked at the boy again, "Ryan, are you ready to become a big star?"


    The boy naturally knew what he meant. After all, those things were discussed. At this time, he could only give him a pair of big eyes, "Harvey, you use me to hype, should you pay the corresponding reward?" "


    "Hey, Ryan, you can''t say that." Weinstein said with a lip, "I regret the contract you signed with Nicole now."


    "Trust me, Harvey, you won''t regret it when the movie is down." The boy believed that this movie would surely make many people buy tickets to watch it again.


    Just like all movie premieres, after the movie is shown, there will be a press conference. As the crew walks towards another hall, Pai Jinsli keeps telling the boy some precautions and reminders Seeing what he should say and what should not be said, at the end he said, "Ryan, if you encounter any difficulties, just turn the conversation to my side."


    "Okay." The boy nodded and went through the red carpet. With his psychological quality, he naturally relaxed a lot. "Don''t worry, Pat, I know how to deal with those guys. Besides, it''s not you and Ni. Can it?"


    After all, it was a press conference in the entertainment industry. The scene was very noisy. Those reporters rushed to raise their own questions. If you change the scene, it would be like a vegetable market on the other side of the ocean.


    After routinely inquiring the director, producer, and actor, almost all reporters focused on the boy and Nicole. After all, this movie said in the publicity that, except for the supernatural content, many plots are based on Adapted from the personal experiences of these two men.


    Especially that little boy, showed shocking acting skills in the movie, and such a touching movie, the script turned out to be his hands, but... how is this possible?


    "Ryan, is the script of the movie really yours?"


    "Of course." The boy looked up and glanced at the reporter. The "New York Post" on the nameplate was very conspicuous.


    "But the feelings about family, communication, and life in the movie..."


    "It can''t be written by a child, right?" Ryan interrupted the paparazzi unceremoniously, shrugged, and said indifferently, "As long as you observe carefully, these things are everywhere around people. Could it be that you think that all children should be idiots, who cannot feel the existence of family affection and the importance of family?"


    "Uh¡­¡­"


    The guy was speechless. He never thought that the boy was so difficult to deal with, so he threw a big hat down. It was not easy to pick up the conversation. A bad answer would attract protests from the National Federation of Teachers and Parents and the Children¡¯s Association. That''s a big trouble.


    After all, reporters and paparazzi are different. Although the bottom line is only a little bit higher, don¡¯t forget that this is a public place. The boy is not an adult and still enjoys the protection of the "Children¡¯s Law." Such as''How does it feel to be in a movie for the first time? "Where did you get the inspiration for the script?" "How did you work with Al Pacino" and so on.


    Especially Nicole, who sits next to him, is so glamorous, and she is equally brilliant in the movie. This beauty with both looks and excellent acting skills has always been the darling of the media chasing, thus sharing the burden for the boys. A lot of firepower.


    "Miss Kidman, we have all noticed that you and Ryan arrived in the theater together. I want to ask what is your relationship? And in real life, is Ryan also as isolated and unaffected as Cole? People welcome?"


    When Nicole heard the first question, Nicole still wanted to answer, but when the second question fell into her ears, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and her glamorous temperament suddenly became stronger, and she said coldly, "Nothing Can comment!"


    The press conference comparable to the vegetable market finally came to an end. Sitting in the back seat of the car, Ryan shook his head vigorously. This was still in the early nineties. The reporter paparazzi was not too rampant. If it enters the era of national entertainment, Those guys might still say something.


    "It''s okay, Ryan?" Nicole asked caringly.


    "It''s okay." The boy tapped his hand. "It''s more tiring to deal with these guys than to make a movie."


    "You did a great job." Jinsli, who was sitting in the co-pilot, praised. "The first time you face this kind of scene, you can make the people who question you dumb, you know, Ryan , I really doubt that you have a thirty-year-old soul."


    The boy shrugged, but didn''t say anything. After all, buckling the hat was the most prosperous official language and culture of the country in the previous life. After living for so many years, he has more or less experience. Besides, he is now exposed to the light of age. If you wait After he was eighteen...


    The premiere of the movie is over, and all the response will have to wait until tomorrow. Judging from the reactions of the audience and critics after the movie is over, the movie should not be a problem in terms of word-of-mouth.


    After experiencing the information explosion in the previous life, Ryan knew very well that compared to good songs that always resonated with people, the film was more affected by the social environment at the time. For example, during this era, the production of "Brokeback Mountain" and "Zhu "No" is to find death by oneself.


    Among the types of movies, the ones that are less affected by the social environment are horror thrillers and romantic comedies. Of course, those science fiction movies that are separated from reality are also included in this category, but the current CG technology of movies is a big problem.


    "The theme that this movie wants to express is so touching and profound. Although the movie is a thriller, under the cloak of horror, it explores the relationship between people. Loneliness, affection and communication are full of In every scene of the movie, we are worried about the loneliness in the movie, we will be infected by family affection, and we will have a sense of the importance of communication. This is the best movie since the beginning of the 1990s, and there is no one. "


    Nicole finished reading, put down the newspaper in her hand, and looked at Ryan, who was eating breakfast, "Watch the rest for yourself."


    "Please, Nicole." The boy put the fried egg into his mouth and said vaguely, "Read me a few more copies."


    Quitting his lips, Nicole took another copy of the New York Times and quickly turned to the entertainment version. "The Sixth Sense has horror and plot elements. The characters in it are unique and full. Whether it is a doctor who wants to make up for his mistakes, deep A mother who loves her son so much, or a lonely and helpless little boy, shows her own spiritual characteristics."


    "The story of the film is very exciting. The performance of several actors is remarkable. Al Pacino has once again played his acting level in "The Godfather". Miss Nicole Kidman will be an emotional single. The mother¡¯s interpretation is very touching. Here, it is especially important to mention that Ryan Jenkins, who is only ten years old this year, uses his vivid eyes and superb acting skills to fully understand the confusion, fear and incomprehension of the boy in the film. It¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that he is the biggest highlight in this movie."


    "That''s it?" The boy curled his lips, seeming to be dissatisfied with the sound of praise.


    "How do you want them to praise you?" Nicole glared at him and threw the pile of newspapers on the dining table, "Some praises are too numb, you should read it for yourself."


    "Don''t do this, Nicole." The boy muttered dissatisfied, "Don''t you want to see their praise of you? Many people are praising you as a muse of beauty, wisdom and acting skills."


    Seeing that Nicole ignored herself at all Ryan had to finish breakfast in a few bites, wiped his mouth, and writhed in the newspaper. Of course, the voice of criticism was not unavailable, no matter where, no matter where No one can win everyone''s appreciation, and he doesn''t want his own eyes to look for abuse. Any such tabloids are thrown aside.


    Not only did film critics and reporters praise him in the newspapers, some of the words of the crew during the interview at the press conference last night were also published.


    For example, Al Pacino¡¯s words were directly transferred to the newspaper, ¡°The Sixth Sense¡± is a very good script. Frankly speaking, when I learned that the author of the script was Ryan, I was shocked to drop my jaw. When I got to the ground, I was really lucky to take this script and work with Ryan. He is the most talented and talented boy I have ever seen. You will never be able to keep up with his thinking. I think he Not inferior to the best adult actors at all."


    David Fincher also commented on the three actors who worked with him, "We all know how outstanding Al is. His performance in the movie is completely pinnacle. Nicole''s acting skills are as amazing as her beauty. Ryan? To be honest, I have never seen Ryan before the boot, and even thought it would be a disaster. Ryan did not have any acting experience before. There were a lot of problems during the first filming, but I couldn¡¯t. Not to mention, he is an extremely smart boy, he adjusted himself quickly, and his performance in the whole movie is obvious to all. He has the least number of NGs during the filming process. Yes, I can guarantee that the script is definitely Ryan What he created is far beyond your imagination. As for what it is, there is no comment!"


    ask for collection~ ask for tickets

 Chapter 22： Response and benefits

    Did you perform well in the movie? There is no doubt about this. After all, Ryan is a man of two lives. Even though he has inevitably taken on a lot of childishness over the years, sometimes his performance is indeed outrageous, but he will definitely not lose his way in this sky of praise.


    He knows that Hollywood has a completely different attitude towards child stars and adult actors. As long as a child does what only adults can do, the voice of praise will be overwhelming. If the performance is a little better, the name of genius It will definitely be on your head.


    For those children who are not yet mature, they often become poisons for life. If you encounter parents who are not clear-headed and only know how to make money, they can only be described as sad reminders when they grow up.


    Of course, these will not happen to Ryan. After all, he has a mature mind and a fairly firm will, and Nicole is not a greedy person, you know, since the two met, she has not touched him. one dollar.


    In fact, what Ryan is most worried about is his appearance. It is no exaggeration to say that he has almost all the advantages of a mixed race, but he has made it clear to the information he has read in his previous life that the more cute and beautiful children were in the West. , The higher the chance of being crooked, he does not expect to become Leonardo and Pete in the future, but how can he not become the crooked melons like Macaulay Culkin and Edward Fran?


    shook his head and threw these messy thoughts out of the sky. Ryan picked up the "Los Angeles Times" that was specially left at the end, and felt that way in his heart.


    The "Los Angeles Times" has the headline on the front page. Note that it is not the headline of the entertainment page, but the headline of the entire newspaper, which published the most detailed report about the boy.


    "Ten-year-old super genius!"


    The huge black and bold headline is very eye-catching, and there is a close-up photo of the boy at the press conference next to it.


    "Ryan Jenkins, a boy born in Los Angeles in 1980, has extremely bright sky-blue pupils. Last night, in the movie "Sixth Sense" just released, this boy made his debut on the big screen for the first time. The performance in the film can be called the most child star, but what is even more surprising is that the script of the film was created by him."


    "Some people may wonder whether such a wonderful story that combines horror, suspense, and family ethics really came from a ten-year-old child? Yes, this is indeed doubtful, but what we want to say is, this It is indeed a story created by Ryan, or one of the many stories he has created!"


    "We got amazing news from people familiar with the matter, and after rigorous verification, we once dominated the bestseller list in the United States for more than 30 weeks, and now it¡¯s still in the top ten, "Jurassic Park", in the rankings. The thirty-fourth "Ryan Tales" and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone", which just entered the ranking list, are also written by Ryan Jenkins, yes! This Ryan is the Ryan!"


    "It''s not just that. At the beginning of this month, the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers just announced the nomination for the Nebula Award. Ryan''s "The First Power in the Universe and the Zenith Starman" was nominated for the best short novella."


    "If anyone can remember, "Jurassic Park" was published as early as 1986. Many works such as "Home Alone" in the "Ryan Tales" were also published in 1986 and 1987. All of these show that What''s up?"


    "Maybe everyone will wonder if someone has ghostwriters, but we have confirmed with the municipal department that Ryan Jenkins is an orphan. He had lived in the Norston Orphanage in North Hollywood until he was seven years old, and he had already produced many works by then. , Just imagine, who would ghostwrite an orphan?"


    "It wasn''t until the second half of 1987 that Ryan was adopted by Miss Nicole Kidman and started living in London for two years. Perhaps it was this experience that allowed him to create the British-style Harry Potter. And the Sorcerer''s Stone."


    "Think about it. A child who can start writing independently at the age of six and keep on coming out with outstanding works. At the age of nine, a child who can create a movie script and act in it personally, if not a super genius, who else will be a super? genius?"


    Ryan didn¡¯t bother to read the next words. The fact that the Los Angeles Times could get such accurate news was naturally from Harvey Weinstein. He has since learned that the authors of the three books are boys. , Has been planning how to maximize the benefits of this amazing news.


    There is no doubt that throwing such a high-explosive bomb when the movie was first released will naturally stimulate the nerves of many people and contribute more to the box office of the movie.


    Of course, Harvey Weinstein, who realized that the boy is a gold mine, notified him in advance, and after the unscrupulous Ryan persuaded Nicole, he joined forces with Mr. Fatty to make a hype.


    In fact, the boy knows very well that with the release of the movie, his old bottom will definitely be revealed by the paparazzi. Yes, you can''t look at them highly, and you can''t underestimate them. These guys don''t mind chasing scandals and gossip privacy. Sell ??the soul to Satan.


    That being the case, why not hold part of the initiative in your hands, so that you can maximize your own interests.


    First of all, I sold Miramax, so Harvey Weinstein owed himself a favor, and secondly, he could get on the front page of one of the three major newspapers in the United States, and his reputation was conceivable. Finally, he was affirmed. It will arouse the curiosity of many people, so they will walk into the theater, into the bookstore, green banknotes...


    Just as Ryan imagined, once this report was published, it caused an uproar in the public opinion. Miramax¡¯s public phone calls and the hotline of the publishing house affiliated to the "Alien Body" magazine were about to be blown up by crazy reporters. Similarly, the Norston Welfare Institute and the municipal department also welcomed many visitors with cameras and microphones.


    "Ryan, my phone was broken, you have to pay me overtime!" This is a complaint call from Ms. Jinsli.


    "I want more detailed information, such as the child¡¯s childhood life, who the child¡¯s parents are, the child¡¯s personality and habits, whether he had an appointment with a girl, and what is in his head? Turn it out for me, otherwise, just clean up the bedding for me and get fucked!"


    The chief editors of almost every tabloid newspaper issued similar orders to their paparazzi.


    For a while, various reports about Ryan began to flood the big newspapers and tabloids. The experience of being abandoned in childhood, the lonely life in the orphanage, and the relationship with Nicole Kidman and his mother and sister were all covered by the media. Turned it out.


    Some reporters even found the old dean Katie, who was retiring in Santa Monica. When they asked about Ryan, the old dean said, ¡°I took Ryan back from the ground at the entrance of the orphanage by myself. Yes, he is a very special child, clever and precocious, with wisdom that is far beyond ordinary people. The works you mentioned are indeed created by him. Many of them, including "Jurassic Park", are written under my eyes. I also recommended the original work to the "Aliens" magazine, so you don¡¯t have to doubt it. For a child who can read newspapers and magazines fluently at the age of four, writing at the age of six is ??nothing at all."


    The words of the old dean, the words of the children who were adopted in the orphanage at the time, all prove the report of the Los Angeles Times.


    And these reports have aroused the appetite of the people to a certain extent. They are very curious about a ten-year-old child who can achieve these achievements. Many people have flocked to bookstores to buy the books mentioned in the report. "Jurassic Park" once again reached the top of the bestseller list in the United States a week later, and the sales of "Ryan Tales" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" almost quadrupled.


    In particular, countless experts fixed their eyes on the wonderful novel that had just been nominated for the Nebula Award, and interpreted various meanings. For example, "This science fiction novel has a strong realistic irony and criticizes the current situation. The ever-increasing impetuous society deeply exposes the ever-expanding greed of mankind and serves as a reminder and warning to the United States!"


    Someone even wrote a special compliment, "This is one of the best science fiction satires in recent years!"


    While Ryan was dumbfounding, he had the urge to write "the first military power in the universe and his invincible fat marshal". U U Reading


    The most direct benefit is the movie "Sixth Sense".


    The wonderful storyline and excellent actor performance have won the praise of most people. Coupled with this crazy hype, after the first three days, the North American box office of the movie has been fixed at nearly 28 million U.S. dollars. The high-level mouths of Miramax were so happy that they couldn''t close their mouths.


    The two ending scenes are the most exciting parts of the movie. The dialogue and feelings between Cole and his mother burst into tears. The sudden realization of the psychologist made people surprised. After watching it, many people recalled some of the previous scenes and couldn''t help buying tickets again. Many people watched it more than once.


    In this case, theaters in many popular locations have long queues to buy tickets. Some theater owners even compare this movie with last year''s "Batman".


    After the second full week, the box office of the film not only did not fall, but rose by a large margin. When seeing more than 36 million US dollars in box office, Harvey Weinstein suddenly regretted signing the two contracts. I realized once that the box office of this movie is likely to far exceed my own estimates.


    Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. In this way, Ryan has put himself on the cusp of the storm and can only hide at home, otherwise he will be entangled by the ubiquitous paparazzi in Los Angeles. Although it is not a big trouble, it is also very annoying. .


    Especially downstairs in the apartment, paparazzi have been stationed there day and night, hoping to get some exclusive news.


    Faced with this situation, Nicole once again put the plan to buy an independent villa on the agenda.

 Chapter 23： Los Angeles and New York

    Just like Harvey Weinstein said, Ryan''s life has undergone earth-shaking changes in a short period of time. The taste of becoming famous overnight is complacent, but it also brings countless troubles. Paparazzi has become a compulsory subject for boys.


    Three weeks after the release of "Sixth Sense", Alien Press took advantage of this fiery wave to launch the second Harry Potter series "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".


    The original manuscript of this novel was given to the publishing house by Jinsli a long time ago. The reason why I still want the first novel to ferment for a longer time, there is no doubt that the publishing house chose the best time, one week. After that, the novel successfully appeared on the bestseller list.


    "Ryan, the publisher has called several times, asking when will the third part be completed?" Pai Jinsli came to the apartment specifically, obviously being urged by the publisher a little anxiously.


    After the release of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", even the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" have grown rapidly. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just the beginning of a whole series, and those who wield a magic wand The little wizard also gradually exerted his power, causing a lot of repercussions in Britain and the United States, especially in the United Kingdom. After all, the scene in the novel is in the Kingdom of Great Britain.


    Although many people said sourly that this is just a whimsical idea of ??a weird boy. It is just a simple children''s book, but it can''t stop that steadily increasing sales and increasing influence.


    Of course, Ryan is not in a hurry to release the third part. He intends to press the completed manuscript for a while, after all, his age is a big problem.


    The boy is a little worried now, of course not for the paparazzi under the apartment, but for some small problems between him and Natalie in New York.


    Since the report was published in the Los Angeles Times, Natalie has not replied a letter for more than half a month. Even when he called, it was her parents who answered the phone, and she always showed each other. For this reason, both Mr. Avner and Mrs. Shelly once asked on the phone whether they had quarreled.


    quarrel? They quarrel almost every time they write and call. Ryan actually doesn''t have much thoughts. It''s just that the feeling of being friends with the favorite celebrity in the past life and watching her grow step by step is really wonderful.


    In fact, from Natalie¡¯s past few words, the boy can guess how clever and precocious children like her are not popular among her peers, and the facts are as he guessed. Apart from him, Na Tally has hardly any friends.


    And such a girl with her own pride and ambition suddenly discovered that her only friend was standing in a place she could only look up to. The shock and loss can be imagined.


    Well, little loli who is awkward, I don''t care about you like you. Ryan checked the time, picked up the handset, and dialed the phone in New York.


    Entering the house, Natalie took off her schoolbag and threw it on the sofa, but her face was full of unhappiness and unhappiness, as if she wanted to have a big fight with someone at any time.


    "Asshole!"


    Looking at the letter in her hand, Natalie had the urge to crumple it up and throw it into the trash can, but after hesitating for a while, she habitually opened the envelope.


    The familiar handwriting, familiar tone and style of writing are just like the four books she bought back, but the letter is less sharp and more sincere.


    Although she was still a little awkward in her heart, after reading the letter, Natalie still had a smile on her mouth. She could completely imagine that the annoying guy was cautious when she wrote a letter.


    Humph! I still overwhelm you! There was a little pride in the girl''s heart.


    The phone in the living room rang at this time, and her parents were not at home, so Natalie had to put down the letter and answered the phone.


    "Hello, this is Herschel."


    "Na... Nat?" The person on the phone seemed hesitant, and seemed a little uncertain.


    "Ryan!" Natalie wanted to make a call subconsciously.


    "Wait, Nat."


    "What''s the matter?" Natalie''s words were obviously thorny.


    "I''m sorry, Nat..." Before finishing talking to the other person, Natalie interrupted directly, "Ryan, did you know that the nose of a lying child will grow!"


    "Well, if it makes you happy, then I am Pinocchio, Your Highness Snow White!" Unable to raise the bar clearly, Ryan simply launched a counterattack in secret.


    "Hmph!" Although Natalie snorted coldly, her eyes curled up, and the guy on the other side was soft to her for the first time.


    "Nate, are you still there?"


    "Hmm~"


    "I know some things shouldn''t be hidden from you, but I have an agreement with Harvey Weinstein of Miramax Films, and there are some things that I can''t decide by myself..." Obviously, Ryan opened his eyes again and said Nonsense, I transferred most of the responsibility to publishing houses and film companies, "You know, Nat, you are my only friend, and I don''t want any unhappiness between us."


    "Well, Ryan, forget it this time, if there is another time I don''t miss you." Listening to the boy, Natalie suddenly remembered the report about Ryan''s life in the newspaper, despite her Age can''t imagine the life of the orphanage and orphans, but still feels that he shouldn''t be treated like this in his heart.


    "I promise, Nat, as long as you ask."


    Anyway, this chapter is over. After habitually stabbing each other a few more times, Natalie asked about the boy''s current situation.


    "Don''t mention it, I can only stay at home now. The school has taken a long vacation. Those crazy paparazzi are stuck under the apartment. Don''t mention me and Nicole. Even the neighbors have been harassed by them many times."


    "This is the price paid for fame!" Natalie sarcastically.


    "But I was on the big screen, and many people were praising me for my excellent acting." The boy naturally started to fight back.


    "That''s because they haven''t seen me, Ryan Jenkins, wait and see, one day I will surpass you!" Unknowingly, Natalie got stronger again.


    "Then I will wait and see, dear Nat." The voice over there was completely triumphant, "Even if you surpass me in acting, it is impossible to write so many stories."


    "Story? Ryan, you have such a thick skin. I have read those four books, but they are all children''s books." Natalie was very unconvinced.


    "Really? Sixth sense, do you think it is a children''s book?" The boy on the phone was simply annoyed.


    "Ryan, you are good at writing stories and scripts, aren''t you?" Natalie gritted her teeth.


    "Of course, in fact, after shooting the sixth sense, I finished two more scripts." The other side was completely showing off.


    "Well, Ryan, don''t forget, you have deceived me twice." Natalie habitually buckled her hat back, "In order to make up for the spiritual damage you caused to me, you must write to me in the future. Hundreds of scripts!"


    "One... a hundred?"


    Listening to the sound of surprise from the other side, Natalie finally had the pleasure of being a prankster. After saying goodbye in a hurry, she hung up the phone.


    Just then, the door slammed open. It turned out that it was Mrs. Shelly who had returned home.


    "Nate, is there anything you are happy about? It''s been a long time since you laughed so happily." Mrs. Shelly noticed the letter on the coffee table, "A letter from Ryan? It looks like you are reconciled?"


    "Yes, mother. There is nothing between us, but we have different views on certain issues." Natalie quickly put the letter away, and she was ready to go back to the room with her schoolbag. "Mom, I''ll go back to the room first. Up."


    Mrs. Shelly sighed. She never thought that her daughter''s only friend, the boy who had been to their house, could achieve such a jaw-dropping result.


    Returning to her own little world, Natalie habitually took a look around the photos hanging on the wall. These are all the photos she took when she was learning to dance and when she was performing in the theater. But compared to dancing, she Still prefer acting.


    Although there are still more than a month to turn nine, she knows that she is different from other children. She knows that she has ambitions and what she likes and wants, so she has been working hard for it. For this, she The school vacation time is also used to participate in drama camps.


    Shaking her head, UU reading dissipated the thoughts in her mind. She couldn''t help but think of the boy far away in Los Angeles, this boy who was only one year older than her, as shown in the "Sixth Sense" The acting skills made her stunned. In all fairness, she felt that his performance in one of them was the most exaggerated.


    If you change to yourself, you can...Okay! She admitted that she was a bit awkward and unhappy during this period of time, first because her only friend had hidden so many things, and second, she was jealous!


    Who doesn''t want to be the focus of much attention, who doesn''t want to be the darling of the media, and who doesn''t want to be a brilliant star!


    There will always be opportunities! Natalie told herself in her heart, Ryan, wait and see, I will surpass you soon!


    Ryan scratched the back of his head after listening to the beeping disconnection from the phone. He didn''t know why, as long as he met Natalie, he couldn''t help arguing with her, and he would show off triumphantly. Like a proud little peacock.


    One hundred scripts! The boy rolled his eyes. Of course, he knew that Natalie was joking and ridiculing him, but one hundred scripts were difficult, and ten were no problem.


    Recalling the only meeting, Natalie was obviously thinner than she thought. If she is in that movie now, age will become a more sensitive topic than her previous life, so wait a few years.


    Luc Besson now has a lot of fame, and it seems that I should ask Jinsili to find his address. I must write the script before him and mail it to France!


    Ok! This is definitely a good idea! The unscrupulous boy gave a big smile.

 Chapter 24： Touchstone

    Getting out of Jinsli''s car, Ryan lowered the baseball cap, and quickly glanced around. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he waved to the manager lady in the car and ran into the campus with his head down.


    It is impossible for a boy to stay at home forever. If he asks for leave for too long, then he really has to repeat the grade. Fortunately, as time goes on, the topic of him has gradually decreased, and there are countless celebrities and gossips in Hollywood. , Naturally someone will replace him to attract the attention of the media and the public.


    "Hi, Ryan, it''s been a long time, why do you always take long vacations?"


    As soon as the boy sat on the chair, Jerry in front and Peter on the other side approached him.


    "You know, I''ve always been very busy." The boy responded casually, but his face was always hidden in the shadow of the baseball cap.


    "Yeah, you are really busy." Jerry tilted his head and said suddenly, "Ryan, can you take off the baseball cap?"


    "Hat? What''s the matter?" The boy took off his hat without thinking, and put it on the table.


    "Peter!" After Jerry shouted, Peter quickly took a newspaper out of his schoolbag, looked at the picture on the front page, and said with certainty, "Yes, it''s him."


    The corners of Ryan''s mouth couldn''t stop shaking. In his cognition, children at this age would never read newspapers and magazines, and he has grown up a lot now, somewhat similar to the sixth sense. The difference, I didn''t expect these two guys to read the Los Angeles Times.


    "Wow, it''s true, Ryan, it turns out that you are really the little boy in "Sixth Sense", so you also wrote Harry Potter? You know that I like this book the most. Never tell me that you are the author."


    Jerry¡¯s yelling didn¡¯t matter and immediately caught the attention of the whole class. He simply grabbed the newspaper in Peter¡¯s hands, ¡°You don¡¯t read newspapers and magazines? You don¡¯t watch entertainment news? Don¡¯t you watch movies? Who is the little boy in Sense? Do you know who is the author of your favorite "Ryan Tales" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone"? It''s Ryan."


    The classroom suddenly turned into a vegetable market. These over-energy boys and girls all swarmed over, scrambling to look at the newspaper more than half a month ago. Although there were many creases in the newspaper, the picture was not bad. Clarity, it''s not who Ryan would be.


    A lively girl simply snatched the newspaper, stood on a chair, and read the report crisply. The ten-year-old also said that they could understand most of the content. Until then, they I believe that the authors of those children''s books that I often read are actually my classmates!


    Looking at the guys around him staring at him closely, Ryan didn''t move. He only felt that his face was turning white, his eye rims were turning black, and the pen in his hand seemed to have turned into jade bamboo. Even though he knew that he would be discovered sooner or later, he didn''t expect to be the object of onlookers on the first day back to school.


    "Ryan, why did you never tell us?" The girl actually asked.


    Looks like we are not very familiar, right? The boy could only roll his eyes. To tell the truth, apart from the small group of Jerry and Peter, everyone in the class only knew their names.


    "What did I say, when I went to watch "Sixth Sense" with my dad, I always felt that the little boy in it was familiar. Now when I think about it, isn''t it what Ryan looked like last year?" The other boy suddenly realized.


    "Oh my god, you''re still the screenwriter of the movie! My mother loves this movie so much. She has watched it four times. She said that the story is so wonderful, and she shed tears every time she saw it. What else did she say about the box office of this movie? It¡¯s about 100 million dollars!¡± Another girl was talking, ¡°Also, Ryan, I want to ask, when will the third episode of Harry Potter come out?¡±


    Ryan could only smile helplessly. Anyway, these people are just curious children, not paparazzi. Just when he just wanted to answer, another person asked, "Ryan, how many big stars have you seen? Now, can you help me get Tom Cruise''s autograph?"


    "And Ryan, how did you write these stories?"


    "Ryan, are you really an orphan?"


    "Ryan, is it fun to make a movie? Can you take us to the scene to see it?"


    Maybe I should transfer school! Ryan had this idea, but after thinking of Nicole who was getting busier and busier, he automatically suppressed the idea, and immediately shouted, "Stop! Stop!"


    The messy classroom finally calmed down, but these children were in the most curious age group and didn''t mean to disperse at all, especially Jerry, after blinking his eyes, suddenly said, "I understand! I understand. No! No wonder Ryan writes and paints every day, but he was writing stories."


    "Well, Jerry, you got it right, but there is no reward." The boy waved his hand vigorously, and said to his classmates, "Harry Potter and those other works were indeed created by me. I didn''t see it. I have had a few big stars, the only one I have worked with is Al Pacino. Tom Cruise is unfamiliar, so I can¡¯t get an autograph for you.


    Then, Ryan showed a playful smile, "As for making movies, it''s not fun at all. Those film directors have very bad tempers. Once you make a mistake, they will reprimand you mercilessly, even if you don''t cry. I will stop, and no one will sympathize with you, because you have not finished your work, and when shooting at night, you often go all night long. If you can¡¯t finish the shooting, you won¡¯t be allowed to sleep! Also, when the director makes you laugh, you You have to laugh, when you cry, you have to shed tears immediately, when you go crazy, you have to become a neurotic right away, so making a movie is not fun at all!"


    Ryan''s nonsense, the other children were stunned. In their minds, filming should be a very interesting thing. They didn''t expect to hear such a terrifying answer now.


    "Okay, class is about to start soon, can you discuss any questions during the lunch break?" Under Ryan''s intimidation and persuasion, the group of guys finally broke up. He was not too worried, this age group Although children are very curious, they often have only three minutes of heat. After waiting for a longer time, they will naturally shift their attention to other areas.


    "Ryan, what you said is not true?" Jerry leaned over again, lowered his voice and said, "I won''t tell anyone else."


    "Of course... it''s fake!"


    "Also, Ryan, is the third episode of Harry Potter finished? Can we see it first?" Peter''s head also stretched out.


    "No." Of course the boy would not admit it.


    The class bell finally rang, and Ryan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that dealing with these peers was more tiring than dealing with paparazzi, but not long after the class started, he discovered a new situation.


    Ms. Sarah, the teacher of the English class, always took a look from time to time, with curious and inquiring gazes. Even if Ryan was doing his own thing for himself, she was sensitively aware of it.


    "Ryan, can you help me a little bit?" Just before the end of get out of class, Ms. Sara came over and asked in a low voice.


    "Huh? Of course you can." The boy put away the pen, shook his wrist, and suddenly realized that this was his teacher, "I''m sorry..."


    "No need to apologize, Ryan, a kid who can write such an excellent work. I don''t think I have anything to teach him." Ms. Sarah smiled, "My daughter likes the Harry Potter series very much. After watching the second episode, I have been clamoring to watch the third episode. I want to ask, when will the third episode be published?"


    ¡­¡­


    Burbank is located in the north of Los Angeles and is one of the many satellite cities in Los Angeles. Here, the most famous is the media industry. The headquarters or important departments of many media and entertainment companies such as the National Broadcasting Corporation, Disney Company, Warner Bros. Here, therefore, Burbank also has the title of "Media Capital of the World".


    At Walt Disney¡¯s headquarters, Carter Eisner left his uncle¡¯s office and returned all the way to the office floor belonging to Touchstone Pictures, but the pair of frowning eyebrows have never been separated, making Ben not handsome. That face almost turned into a bitter gourd.


    No wonder he was worried. Touchstone Pictures has been established for seven years. Even though it is backed by the mountain of Disney, it has always lacked sufficient influential works in terms of movies and TV programs, not to mention being related to the seven major film companies. By comparison, even Miramax after the release of "Sixth Sense" is almost overwhelming them.


    At the beginning of this year, Carter became the vice president of Touchstone Pictures in charge of the film business. Although he was struggling to open up the situation, the effect was not obvious, and the voice of doubt within the company has never disappeared. Who made him less than 30 this year Years old, who made him Michael Eisner¡¯s nephew.


    "Carter, Director Chris Columbus is waiting for you in the office." The secretary reminded me when he passed the secretary desk.


    "Chris? Oh Yes, he made an appointment to meet with me today." Carter Eisner then asked, "How long has he been here?"


    "It''s been more than half an hour."


    "Damn, I''m hurrying, I hope he can bring good news." Carter hurriedly pushed the door into the office.


    Chris Columbus in a gray suit is sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee while reading a book, seemingly fascinated, even Carter Eisner doesn''t even notice when he comes in.


    "Sorry, Chris, I kept you waiting!" Carter had no choice but to say hello first.


    "It didn''t take long for me to finish reading a story." Chris Columbus closed the book.


    "Well, Chris." Carter smiled apologetically, "I don''t know what you have to do with me today? Are you planning to make a new movie?"


    "Yes, Carter." Columbus explained, "I''m looking for a partner, I don''t know Touchstone Pictures..."


    He made a gesture that you understand.


    "Did you bring the script?"


    Although the other party''s works are not many, but almost all sell well, Carter naturally hopes that he can bring himself a surprise.


    "The script is not there yet." Chris Columbus made another apologetic gesture, "The story is there."


    After speaking, he handed Carter the closed book.


    "Ryan Story Collection?"


    Thank you friends for your support, thank you for your reward from Depressed Doudou, today¡¯s first update, let¡¯s collect and vote

 Chapter 25： Drag

    The school bell rang, Ryan ran out of the classroom at a speed of 100 meters, and when there was no one in the corridor, he quickly opened the locker, grabbed his schoolbag, and rushed towards the school door, as if behind him. There are a thousand monsters chasing him.


    These **** little ghosts are more difficult than reporters and paparazzi! Ryan¡¯s face was full of exhaustion, and it was clear that today¡¯s experience was not very pleasant.


    jumped on the off-road vehicle and closed the door. The boy finally took a sigh of relief, took the juice prepared by the manager¡¯s lady, and drank the small half box directly.


    "What happened, Ryan?" Jinsili asked curiously, "You look tired."


    "Pat, don''t mention it." The boy twitched his mouth, and seemed to remember the horror scene when he was onlookers today. "Those little guys are so horrible, until now I still think there are ten thousand crows croaking in my ears. ."


    "Little guy?" After the car drove onto the highway, Jinsli reacted and said with a smile, "Would you like me to say hello to the school?"


    "Can you?" After getting Jinsli''s confirmation answer, the boy relaxed a lot, "This is great."


    Back at the apartment, the boy threw away his schoolbag and slumped directly on the couch. He tilted his body and leaned on Nicole''s body. Nicole put down the script in his hand and rubbed his forehead distressedly. Said, "Thank you, Pat."


    "We don''t need to be so polite between us. Besides, this is what I should do." Sitting on the opposite sofa, Jinsli noticed the script on the coffee table and asked, "This is...Ryan''s new script. ?"


    "Yes." Nicole nodded and pushed the script directly in front of Jinsli, "A story about love. God knows what this little guy is thinking."


    The black car parked on the side of the road, and Carter Eisner looked at Chris Columbus on the co-pilot, "No phone appointment, no hello, shall we come here? God knows if they will At home."


    "Have you seen those reporters, Carter?" Chris pointed to a few guys with cameras not far away. "Since they are here, Nicole Kidman and Ryan Jenkins have at least one. I¡¯m at home."


    "Well, I think I must be crazy."


    "Is that really the case?" Chris laughed, pushed the car door and walked first, "Don''t say you can''t see the value of that storybook."


    Ryan went back to the room and changed her ugly school uniform. He walked back to the living room and found out that a guest had come to the door. One of the two men did not know him, and the other was familiar.


    "Ryan, they are here to find you. This is Carter Eisner, the head of Touchstone Pictures'' film department, and this is director Chris Columbus." Nicole made a brief introduction.


    We greeted the two, and the boy sat next to Nicole. He finally remembered who the familiar person was. It was the director of the first two films of Little Wizard that he plagiarized. It was really interesting that he took the initiative to find the door. In the coming years, the inertia of the wheel of history is really huge.


    "Ryan, we are here because Chris and I have taken a fancy to a novelette in your collection of stories." Carter Eisner said straightforwardly.


    "Home Alone." Chris Columbus added, taking out a book from his briefcase, which is the boy''s collection of stories, "I want to adapt it into a movie."


    "That''s it." Ryan squeezed his fingers, seemingly embarrassed.


    "What''s the embarrassment?" Carter asked.


    "I am currently adapting "Home Alone" into a script. I have already completed more than half of it. It is impossible to sell the adaptation rights." While the boy was talking, Nicole couldn''t help but roll his eyes. This kid lied and didn''t need to fight at all. draft.


    Others don''t know, she still doesn''t know, Home Alone and the script she is studying were completed at the same time.


    Carter and Chris glanced at each other and laughed at the same time. They originally planned to let the boy write and adapt the story himself, but he did not expect that he had already started writing, which is really good news.


    "In fact, Ryan, we originally planned to invite you to write and adapt it yourself. This is a story you created. No one knows it better than you. After "Sixth Sense", I don''t think many people would doubt that you wrote the script. The ability." Carter didn''t say another word in his heart. The second work of the super genius was so big when it was publicized.


    After exchanging opinions with Chris in a low voice, he said, "Besides, we also want to invite you to play Kevin."


    Ryan suddenly laughed. He originally thought that Chris Columbus would invite his greedy friend''s son. In that case, he would never sell him the right to adapt, even if it was originally his work.


    You know, this story was prepared by the boy for himself!


    "Okay." In this case, Ryan has nothing to say, "I agree in principle. Just talk to Pat for the specific conditions."


    Carter and Chris didn''t say anything, instead they looked at Nicole Kidman again. After all, this kind of thing still needs the consent of the guardian.


    "He can be the master of Ryan''s affairs." Nicole''s words made the two of them relieved.


    This conversation should have ended here, but Carter spotted it on the corner of the coffee table early, and after just a few glances, he confirmed that it must be a script, but he didn''t know whether it was the boy''s new script or Nicole Kidman. New play to be taken over.


    As a businessman, cheeky is a necessary condition. He thought about it for a while, just found an excuse, pointed to the script on the coffee table and asked, "Is this the script of the house Alone already written, Ryan?"


    The faces of all the people present are covered with black lines. This excuse is really bad!


    "No, that''s a new script I wrote for Nicole." Ryan seemed indifferent, as if writing a script was as common as drinking water and eating.


    "Then... can I take a look?"


    "Of course." The boy simply took the script and handed it over.


    Carter Eisner originally thought that this script would have a child as the main character like "Sixth Sense" or "Home Alone", but after turning it for a while, the corner of his eyes couldn''t stop jumping. The true love theme!


    "This...this is amazing." After a long time, Carter closed the script, and the few people chatting on the other side immediately looked at him.


    "Ryan..." Carter didn''t seem to know what to say.


    "I understand what you mean, Mr. Carter." Ryan explained casually, "Does a ten-year-old child know what love is? To be honest, I really don''t understand very much. The only things I know are from TV and movies. Come, so this script is very clever. It borrows from "Golden Jade League" in many ways, and this movie has always been interspersed in it. At the end of the film, the meeting between the hero and the heroine in the Empire State Building is also to make up for the one in "Golden Jade League". promise."


    "It''s a very colorful, very touching story." Carter exclaimed and looked at the boy with bright eyes, "Ryan, how about giving this script to Touchstone Pictures?"


    The boy shrugged and glanced at Nicole Kidman, "Nicole now belongs to Sleepless in Seattle, so she has the final say on how to operate it."


    To be honest, Nicole Kidman is not very suitable for this movie. She is too cold and glamorous. Compared with American sweethearts like Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts, in this romantic comedy There may be slight flaws in performance, but she also has her own advantages, such as far better acting skills than her previous life, such as tall body and outstanding looks, and so on.


    Therefore, according to Nicole¡¯s image and personal habits, Ryan made a slight modification to the heroine, and also used her as a blueprint, and drew a lot of shots and settings. Anyway, "Seattle Sleepless" is not a typical romantic comedy. Among them, more of them are tears in laughter. With Nicole¡¯s acting skills in "Sixth Sense", there shouldn''t be too much problem.


    As long as there are two movies with high box office and high reputation, Nicole can gain a foothold in Hollywood without having to hone her acting skills in those unknown movies like her previous life, in order to get rid of her just the symbolic image of Mrs. Cruise.


    In short, don''t worry, it''s only 1990. If you want Nicole to reach the top without any dispute, you must first get her enough qualifications.


    Although they did not reach any agreement with Nicole, they were able to get "Home Alone", Carter Eisner and Chris Columbus still smiled and left the apartment, UU reading www. uukanshu.com again, this script has not been released yet, do they still have a chance?


    However, they would never expect that a time-consuming and labor-intensive negotiation is waiting for them.


    "Pat, the negotiation with the touchstone is delayed as much as possible. Don''t agree to any of their conditions until the "Sixth Sense" goes down." After sending the two away, Ryan said.


    Everyone is smart, Nicole and Jinsli just got a glimpse before they understand, and they laughed incredibly bright.


    After entering June, with the holidays of various schools in the United States, the hottest summer file battle kicked off. Although the number of theaters of "Sixth Sense" has been reduced by nearly half, this movie is still watched by many people. First, although the box office is no longer as shocking as it was in previous weeks, it is still growing steadily and continuously.


    This movie shut many people''s mouths. No one thought that a family ethics film dressed in a horror cloak would receive so much praise and earn such a high box office. Compared with Miramac Sneez''s 20 million dollar investment is not even a mere dime.


    Harvey Weinstein smiled brilliantly in an interview, "This is a masterpiece. There is no doubt that David, Al, Nicole, and Ryan have done a great job. What? You Say Ryan, yes! When I first met him, I confirmed that he is a super genius, no one can do better than him! Of course, we will cooperate in the future, it would be great if he can provide the script. No one can guess what kind of ideas will pop out of his head."

 Chapter 26： Victory in the first battle

    After entering the end of July, "Sixth Sense" began to drop. Looking at the jaw-dropping number, many people realized that this year''s North American box office champion has already belonged in advance.


    In Burbank¡¯s office, Harvey Weinstein is watching the latest report. Even though the room is full of air-conditioning, the sweat is still shed.


    I just believed in a clever and weird boy, and I was optimistic about the stories he created. The investment of 20 million US dollars actually returned more than 290 million US dollars in the box office. You must know that this is only the North American box office. With the opening of the Eastern European market, the overseas box office has already surpassed the North American box office. What kind of revenue will this movie get?


    Even if the share of the movie theaters exceeds 50% of the box office, it will be severely slaughtered by the tax bureau, but the net profit of this movie is still more than 70 million US dollars, even if the seven major film companies are in the box office. Last year''s profit was just a little more than this figure.


    Especially, with the help of this movie, Miramax has established its own position in Hollywood, and many independent producers have come to seek investment.


    Harvey Weinstein wiped the sweat from his forehead and took out the two cheques he had prepared long ago, with a wry smile on his face. According to Hollywood practice, after the movie went viral, the producer had to distribute red envelopes to the crew. As for the amount, it depends on the position in the crew.


    As long as he remembered the red envelopes that had been distributed to the siblings, and then looked at the numbers on the cheques in his hand, he couldn''t help but feel pain. Who would have thought that in order to save expenses, he signed the seemingly trivial share clause. , Turned out to be a reality.


    Okay, the boy is a gold mine. The 8 million dollars spent on them both before and after was treated as an early investment. He has heard that Disney¡¯s Touchstone Pictures is in contact with the boy¡¯s agent. , And Nicole Kidman holds another script written by the boy.


    Although the boy has only one script that has succeeded so far, Harvey Weinstein believes in his vision, just as he believed that "Sixth Sense" would make money, he was very convinced this time. Success is not accidental. If possible, he really wants to buy all the adaptation rights of the boy''s works. These are just like the adaptation rights of the "Lord of the Rings" he just bought. They will get huge profits in the near future.


    Similarly, he also knows that this is almost impossible, not to mention his long-sleeved, dance-like beauty guardian and cunning agent like a fox. He is only ten years old and it is difficult to deal with. He has known each other for a year and he has been talking more than once. He was taken into the ditch by him.


    Even, he was a little skeptical. When he first met him, the little guy dug a hole and waited for him to jump down.


    Of course, he has no regrets or complaints, after all, the huge gains are real.


    It is said that Touchstone Pictures has reached a preliminary agreement with him, so I must hurry up and not let the script in Nicole Kidman''s hands fall into their hands.


    "Mr. Weinstein, Ms. Kingsley, Ms. Nicole Kidman, and Mr. Ryan Jenkins are here." The secretary interrupted his thoughts.


    "Let them come in."


    Ryan followed Nicole into the office and looked around. The office specializes in very simple. Just like the rumor, the Weinstein brothers are not only stingy to the outside world, but also stingy to themselves.


    Both parties are acquaintances, and there is not so much politeness. They simply greeted her. After serving coffee and juice, the secretary quickly got into the topic.


    "I haven''t congratulated you yet, Harvey." When Nicole and the rest of the conversation came to an end, Ryan said with a smile, "The North American box office of 290 million US dollars should be ranked in the history of movies. It''s a pity. Ah, if the schedule can be extended for another period, it may exceed 300 million U.S. dollars."


    "Congratulations too, Ryan." Harvey Weinstein handed two checks for $2.9 million to Nicole. "Jurassic Park is still the champion of the best-selling books in the United States, two Haripal books. Te has entered the top 20 again, not to mention your age, even Stephen King has never done it."


    "Come on, Harvey, you don''t know it, it''s all tainted with books of all ages, haven''t you heard those critics say, if it''s not for the noisy children, these books won''t sell a few copies."


    The boy finished speaking, naughty snatching the check from Nicole, and looking at the numbers on it, there was not a pile of green bills that made people feel exciting.


    After Nicole nodded, Ryan stuffed the check to Jinsli, and said triumphantly, "Pat, I didn''t expect it."


    Pai Jinsli rolled her eyes helplessly. She really did not expect that the original contract did not reduce her income, but increased a lot. You must know that there are 10% of the two checks. The money belongs to her.


    After chatting for a few more words, he simply hid and asked Harvey''s assistant to take a tour of the company. The boy knew that Nicole and the others might talk about "Night Sleep in Seattle", but they didn''t want too much. Blended.


    He didn''t want to be like Tom Cruise in his previous life, because he interfered too much in Nicole''s affairs, which caused a conflict between the two.


    In the end, I don¡¯t know what conditions Harvey Weinstein offered. Nicole agreed to cooperate with Miramax, but from her expression, the conditions should be pretty good.


    "Four million dollars in salary, plus 1.5% of the North American box office share." This is what Jinsili told him after getting on the bus, "Your script, Harvey opened a hundred thousand dollars."


    The boy shrugged and did not say anything. In fact, one hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount for him, who only sold one script. He believes that after the scripts he provided have sold out one after another, he can rely on his screenwriting status to request The box office is even the peripheral share.


    In the negotiations with Touchstone Pictures, when the box office of "Sixth Sense" exceeded 250 million, the two parties reached an agreement. I have to say that Jinsli was so famous in her previous life, she was indeed very skilled, to fight for the boys. When it comes to 3 million dollars in remuneration and 2% of the North American box office share, of course, this is all the compensation for his actors and screenwriters.


    The film has entered the preparatory period, and it may start at the beginning of next month. It is said that I will go to northern Canada for shooting. Ryan was relieved after learning the news. Otherwise, although Christmas can also be produced in the studio Snow scene, but if you put on the thick winter clothes to shoot, you have to cover the prickly heat.


    This kind of film shooting is not complicated. Chris Columbus said that as long as the boy can have half the state of "Sixth Sense", he can guarantee that it will not take a month to end the location in Canada.


    Fortunately, the summer vacation is still very long, otherwise it would be a hassle to simply ask for a long vacation from school.


    The car did not return to Westwood, but went straight into Beverly Hills. In the afternoon, they had an appointment with a real estate agent to see some independent villas in his hands.


    The terrifying high box office of "Sixth Sense" has caused many media to focus their attention on the boy. The paparazzi downstairs are becoming more and more active, which not only affects their lives, but also causes a lot of damage to the neighbors around them. Trouble, Nicole simply entrusted Jinsili to find a suitable housing.


    There are many celebrity and wealthy neighborhoods in the greater Los Angeles area, such as Malibu, Santa Monica, and the Brunkert neighborhood in the city, but Ryan doesn¡¯t know why, Nicole has a love for Beverly Hills. A little bell, it is clear that the villa must be located in Beverly Hills.


    Well, Beverly Hills is actually very good. It is close to Hollywood and there are many stars living here. After seeing a few villas, Ryan comforted himself like this.


    "Miss Kidman, what do you think of this place?"


    Although Cones Miller, who led the way, is a real estate agent, he is a real estate agent who only serves the wealthy. While being able to speak well, he still maintains the necessary respect and etiquette. "This French villa includes a garden, a total of Covering an area of ??2.4 acres, with an outdoor tennis court and outdoor swimming pool, as well as a four-car garage, it is the masterpiece of the famous villa designer Paul Kosini."


    In the previous life, there was only a small nest of less than 30 square meters, which was rented. I spent most of this life in the orphanage. Even after being adopted by Nicole, he never came and did not consider life matters. Ryan was concerned about choosing a house. She was a layman, so she just took Nicole''s hand and couldn''t tell.


    Entering the empty villa, the real estate agent continued, ¡°The villa has two floors on the upper and lower floors. There are seven bedrooms, three cloakrooms ~ www.novelhall.com~ five large storage rooms, an indoor swimming pool and gym, and one on the top floor. Small terrace."


    Turning around in and out, this villa is much larger than the one where I live in London. From the details, it can be seen that the design is really original, even if there is no furniture, it looks a little empty, but Rui En Neng obviously felt that Nicole was more satisfied.


    "Ryan, what do you think of this place?" Nicole asked for his opinion. The boy believed that as long as he shook his head, Nicole would definitely turn around and leave without even thinking about it.


    "Do we have so much money in such a big place?" The boy lived in a country with the most horrible housing prices in his previous life. He has no understanding of American housing prices in this life. Seeing this luxurious villa, he naturally felt a little drummed.


    "My dear, what you should ask is if I have so much money!" Nicole smiled.


    "Well, this place is not bad, as long as the price is right."


    Next, in the conversation between Nicole and the real estate agent, the boy finally understood that this villa is really not expensive relative to his and Nicole¡¯s income, not to mention that he can still apply for a loan, and the land of the house in the United States has been purchased. After that, there is no useful life. Although a tax is paid every year, it is more suitable than a seventy-year long-term lease.


    "Nicole, when shall we move?" Ryan asked before leaving.


    "Moving?" Nicole shook her head and said with a smile, "It will take a long time. The house needs to be renovated and we have to buy furniture."

 Chapter 27： Audition

    Knocking acoustic guitar sound intermittent, sometimes boy holding the guitar in high spirits, sometimes turn a blind eye meditation, from time to time in scores uppercut sketch painting, even the inspiration comes, I will write a few paragraphs on the lyrics.


    Pie Jinsli was sitting opposite, looking at a pile of graffiti-like scores. As an industry insider in the entertainment industry, she knew a little bit more or less, and occasionally hummed a short paragraph, but these scores were mostly messy. Preface, it is difficult to connect into a complete song.


    With a light sigh, Jin Sili couldn''t help but persuade a few words. In her opinion, Ryan has learned too much and knows too many things. This is not good, and it is not good for future development to be specialized. , It is difficult to reappear a character like Barbra Streisand in this era.


    Ryan shook his head noncommittal, but thought of another thing. The tyrant on the set would send him an audition invitation. As for the role, there will be anyone besides the future savior!


    "Ryan, are you thinking about it?" Jinsli asked seeing the boy put the guitar aside.


    "When will they turn on?" the boy asked.


    "If the casting goes well, it will be in the middle or late October." Jinsli saw some of the boy''s thoughts, "You... intend to accept the invitation?"


    "Why not?" Ryan asked with a smile. "It''s just an audition, James Cameron may not be attracted to me."


    It was probably the conversation at the premiere of "Sixth Sense". It was obvious that he left some impression on the future king of the world, and the other party invited him directly to participate in John Connor''s second audition.


    Pie Kingsley quickly responded to the crew of "Terminator 2", and a thin script about John Connor was delivered to the boy. Ryan looked through it and laughed, even though there was something wrong. Few places are a little different from the movie in his memory, but the main plot has not changed.


    ...


    "Jim, I don''t understand why you want to add that candidate to the second audition." Anne Hurd, as the film producer, is obviously dissatisfied with the decision of her ex-husband. "Yes, Ryan Jenkins is here. The sixth sense showed breathtaking acting skills. I also think that no child star can do better than him, but don¡¯t forget his gloomy temperament, which is too far away from John Connor¡¯s setting. !"


    "Anne, you haven''t seen Ryan?" James Cameron shook his finger after seeing the other person nodding. "I saw him at the premiere of "Sixth Sense". The idea of ??T1000 was just From him, Ryan in reality is completely different from that in the movie. He is a sunny, cheerful, smart and precocious boy. This is just an audition."


    "The idea of ??T1000 came from him?" Anne Hurd automatically ignored other words.


    "Yes, what did he say?" Cameron recalled a little, "A deformed liquid robot like a Porsche. Needless to say, Arnold and Mario were both present at the time."


    "Okay." Annie Hurd looked at the time, "Let''s get ready, the audition should begin soon."


    North Hollywood, where I lived for nearly seven years after I was reborn. Ryan sighed in his heart. He turned the rearview mirror and looked at the large light brown head that covered most of his forehead. He curled his lips. The shape he had just made, coupled with the old jeans, showed him It''s full of rebelliousness.


    "Ryan, you know? You feel very strange to me now!" Jinsli said after pulling the car door for him.


    The boy shrugged. This look was made by a stylist. Since he agreed to participate in the audition, he would naturally show some professionalism.


    Walked into the T2 studio specially set up by James Cameron for "Terminator 2". Under the guidance of the staff, the two quickly came to the outside of the audition room. After finding a place to sit down, Ryan I looked at the other competitors around, especially the guy I was impressed.


    However, the boy looked at it several times but couldn''t find the face. He couldn''t help but mutter in his heart, could it be his own big butterfly that slapped him away?


    Waiting is boring and boring. After chatting with Jinsli for a few words, he simply wandered out of the sky, habitually thinking about it.


    "Ryan! It''s your turn." After not knowing how long, a reminder from the agent came in my ear.


    The boy cleaned up his mood, adjusted his clothes, and followed the staff into the audition room. This was the first time he participated in an audition, and he was a little curious.


    You have to know that there are too many Hollywood legends about audition rooms. Although those messy things gradually disappeared after entering the 1980s, but in some cases, it is impossible to put an end to it if you wish.


    "This is Ryan Jenkins, born in 1980, and I have appeared in "The Sixth Sense" so far..."


    The boy shook his funny big head. He didn''t have the gloomy temperament of "Sixth Sense". He looked sunny and cheerful, with a hint of rebellion.


    "A little younger." Anne Hurd muttered, but there is no denying that the boy''s appearance is not commensurate with his age, especially his temperament, which is simply a world away from the performance in the "Sixth Sense".


    "Ryan, what do you think of the role of John Connor?" The questioner was James Cameron.


    "Inner rebellion without losing innocence and kindness." The boy gave this answer without thinking.


    Sure enough, the few people behind the long table nodded subconsciously.


    "Then what do you think of this movie?" Anne Hurd asked.


    "Although what I saw is only a part of the script, I can also see some ideas from it. Unlike "Terminator 1" which relies purely on blood and fighting to attract the audience, the script obviously adds more thinking, such as''what will humans do? Will not be destroyed by the technology he created? "And when a robot has human feelings, what will he do? Then it is the perfect combination of science fiction and philosophical thinking..."


    Although the people on the opposite side gradually opened their mouths, Ryan didn''t mean to stop in the slightest. He recalled his previous evaluations of "Terminator 2", combined with the part of the script he had read, and started talking endlessly. , After a full few minutes, he closed his mouth.


    "God, what Ryan said coincides with my idea." Cameron made a fist with one hand and punched his palm hard.


    "Ryan, are you really only ten years old this year?" Mario Casa asked with a surprised look on the other side.


    "I don''t think it''s a secret."


    Ryan spread his hands and looked at James Cameron. In fact, the two had contacted several times. Before the other party adopted the T1000 concept, he called specifically, and the boy would naturally not refuse.


    After asking the questions, the next step is to perform a John Connor performance to the camera. It is not too difficult for Ryan, who has experienced the baptism of "Sixth Sense" and has a full understanding of this sci-fi masterpiece. Just look at the satisfied smiles on the faces of several examiners after he and the assistant who acted temporarily.


    "Ryan, I heard that you signed a contract with Touchstone Pictures, didn''t you?" Anne Hurd asked with a straight face.


    "Yes." The boy nodded, "If there is no accident, I will go to Canada with the crew in a few days."


    "That''s it." The faces of several people showed embarrassment.


    "In fact, Director Columbus expects to end all filming in about a month and a half," the boy added.


    "All right," Anne Hurd said, "I''m here for the time being today, and we will notify you as soon as possible."


    Ryan talked about the audition with Jinsli, and walked outside. He was the last to participate in the audition. At this time, the corridor had already become empty. When they came to the front desk of the T2 studio, they suddenly discovered Several people are arguing.


    "Sir, we just came here for a while because something went wrong at home. Would you give me a chance?"


    "For a while? You were late for more than two hours, and now the audition is over. I''m sorry, so let''s do it." The staff refused without thinking.


    "Edward, you have something to say."


    The boy with a hairstyle very similar to Ryan pursed his lips, "Forget it, what if the audition is successful? It''s not the money-making tool they snatched away. I don''t want to stay at that house for a moment. Let''s go. Right."


    After the boy finished speaking, he walked outside without looking back. The middle-aged man should be his agent, and then he hurriedly followed out.


    Ryan had a panoramic view of all this, but didn''t feel any. Since the day he started writing, I don''t know how many people will change their destiny because of this, and this one is no big deal.


    "Pat, let''s go. UU Reading "


    Several people in the audition room did not leave. After watching the video of the audition again, they had clear candidates in their hearts.


    "Jim, which one do you think is appropriate?" Mario Casa asked.


    "What about you?" James Cameron looked at his ex-wife again, "Anne, Mario, what I see in your eyes is the same answer as mine."


    "Doesn''t he think he is a little younger? Also, if there is a problem with Touchstone Pictures'' filming plan, it will affect us!" Although Anne Hurd has approved the candidate, she still raised some objections.


    "These are small problems that can be solved, aren''t they?"


    Just before Ryan left Los Angeles, the good news came through Jinsli. At the same time, a thick pile of scripts were delivered to him. Just send Jinsli to the subsequent negotiations with Caroco Films. No problem, then he will be the future savior.


    "Nicole, don''t worry, I''m not a kid, I know how to take care of myself." Before the boarding gate, Ryan hugged Nicole Kidman tightly. To be honest, he didn''t want to be separated from her either. For such a long time, it is not just that he will participate in the filming of "Home Alone", Nicole will soon travel to Seattle and New York, and appear on the location of "Seattle Sleepless".


    Perhaps it is the inertia of the wheel of history. Although the boy did not make any suggestions for the director and actors, Miramax still hired Nora Efron to lead the tube, and Tom Hanks as the leading actor.


    "Ryan, remember to call me every day." Nicole solemnly ordered.

 Chapter 28： Are you a puppy

    Although this is the second time I have come to the Big Apple, the world¡¯s largest metropolis is still a strange city to Ryan, but after spending a whole month in the small northern city of Canada, this strange city makes Ryan It''s rare to have a warm feeling.


    "Home Alone" has ended its location in Canada and moved to New York, where Ryan didn''t have many filming tasks and time was more free. Even so, he still couldn''t help but complain.


    The reason is very simple. Just a few days before they came to New York, the crew of "Seattle Sleepless", who was still filming here, went to Seattle. His plan to rendezvous with Nicole fell through. You must know that it has been more than half a year. After Nicole visited his class a month ago, the two had never seen him again.


    Fortunately, in this city, there is his only friend of the same age.


    "Go to Long Island." The man who drove the boy was an assistant specially assigned to him by the crew.


    Dear Nat, I don¡¯t know what you are doing? Is it taller again? Standing in front of Natalie''s house, Ryan rang the doorbell, and at the same time the appearance of a thin girl appeared in her mind, as if she would fall when the wind blows.


    "How are you Mrs. Shelly?" When the middle-aged woman opened the door, the boy greeted him very politely, but he grew a lot taller. Mrs. Shelly hesitated looking at him for a while, and then asked uncertainly. Said, "Are you... Ryan?"


    "Yes." Ryan smiled brightly, "Is Nat at home?"


    "Yes." Mrs. Shelly hurriedly let him into the house, "No wonder Nat has been muttering "Why isn''t that guy coming yet?" It turns out that you are coming to New York!"


    "Nate, come down quickly, Ryan is here." Mrs. Shelly shouted upstairs.


    Amidst the intensive footsteps, Natalie with her ponytail rushed downstairs. When she saw the boy, she stopped her footsteps, raised her hand with her small chin on her back, and said, "Ryan Jenkins, you more It''s getting naive!"


    "Hi, Nat, is this how you welcome friends?" Ryan also showed no signs of weakness.


    Natalie snorted softly, and she walked down the stairs with her hands on her back, and then circled him, "Ryan, don''t you think that Kevin, who plays in The Home Alone, is too naive?"


    "That''s Tongzhen, OK?" The boy retorted immediately.


    "God, this is the super genius promoted in the media? Obviously none of the kindergarten graduates!" Natalie''s words were obviously stinged.


    "But all my grades are A, and I am the best student in St. John''s Elementary School." Ryan''s nostrils also began to rise towards the ceiling.


    "Really? Look at what the newspaper says. I never listened to lectures in class and hardly communicated with classmates. In just one semester, Nicole was invited to school by the principal five times." Natalie counted his crimes.


    "Really? Why don''t I remember." Ryan denied it bluntly, "When did the New York Post''s words be reliable?"


    "But you can''t deny that this is the truth."


    Although she knew that her daughter would have a heated debate every time she talked with Ryan on the phone, Mrs. Shelly did not expect that the two had not seen each other for almost a year, and the habitual dispute began as soon as they met. She had to speak, "Nat , And Ryan, can you pause for a while?"


    "Sorry, Mrs. Shelly." The boy scratched his head embarrassedly.


    "Okay, Mom." Natalie took the boy by the arm, "In order not to disturb you, let''s go to my room."


    "Then I will prepare some snacks and drinks for you."


    Ryan once read this sentence, if a girl is willing to take you to visit his bedroom, it means that she has recognized you and regards you as her good friend.


    "These are all photos from when you were learning dancing and acting when you were a kid?" Ryan looked at the black and white photos and color photos posted on the wall. They were all lovely Natalie. If you get one, in twenty years After putting it on Ebay for auction, it will definitely detonate a big piece.


    "Yeah, I started to learn dance when I was four!" Natalie raised her chin slightly and put on a little proud look.


    Then, she pointed to a photo when she received the award, and said proudly, "This is the photo I took when I participated in the Hebrew debate. Tell you, Ryan, in addition to English, I also speak Hebrew. And French!"


    "Really? You are amazing, Nat." Ryan showed a look of surprise, and then said in a more proud voice, "In fact, I also master two foreign languages, French and the hardest to learn. Chinese!"


    "Singing to wine, life geometry, such as the morning dew, there are many hardships in the days. To be generous, unforgettable worry, how to alleviate worries, only Dukang... the mountains are not tired of high, the sea is not tired of deep, Zhou Gong spit and feed, the world is home!" Boy It was entirely to shock people, and immediately chanted a poem by Cao Zijian in an aria.


    "Ryan Jenkins!"


    Natalie listened to this strange and beautiful language, constantly grinding her white teeth, as if she would rush at any time and bite this guy who likes to beat herself the most.


    "Wow, look, see, what is this, "Jurassic Park", "Ryan Tales", "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", it seems I''ve read it many times, Nat, so you are my book fan." Ryan looked at the books on the desk, even more proud.


    "Huh~"


    Natalie snorted heavily, as if she was about to retaliate, and deliberately said with disdain, "Your book can only be regarded as a children''s book, it''s not a big deal, it''s far from a deep work like "Sixth Sense". ."


    "Come on, Nat." Ryan waved his hand. "If my work is adult content like "Sixth Sense", the tabloids will not only call me weird, I am afraid that I am a It''s a freak."


    When she heard the boy¡¯s last words, Natalie seemed to be touched. She condensed her pride and stubbornness, and said seriously, "I¡¯m sorry, Ryan, I shouldn¡¯t bring up this topic. You are my best friend, I When I saw what was written in those tabloids, I wish I could tear down their editorial office myself."


    "It''s okay, Nat." The boy shook her hand lightly. "You know, I always don''t care about the clamor of the paparazzi, even if they portray me as a weird, wayward, unconscious and whimsical child, then What can I do? Even God can''t get everyone''s approval. All I care about is the thoughts of my people. Let them go to **** with all the others."


    "Well, Ryan, although we have a lot of differences, as a best friend, I will always stand behind you and support you!" Natalie said firmly.


    "Wow, I''m about to cry when I''m moved." The boy made an exaggerated expression, causing Natalie to roll her eyes and gritted her teeth and said, "You know, Ryan? I really want to bite you sometimes. One bite, you really hate it."


    "You can''t say that, you can disagree with my point of view, but you should defend my right to speak to the death... Oh, Natalie Hirschle, you dare to bite me, my wrist is about to break, let go , Are you a puppy?"


    "Woo woo woo~" Natalie obviously didn''t let go.


    "You bite and I will fight back!"


    Ryan is not just someone who can''t fight back when he is beaten. He bent his heart, lowered his head and bit towards Natalie''s ear. Who knows at this moment, Natalie just loosened her teeth and wanted to raise her head, so The tragedy happened.


    "Boom~"


    Natalie''s forehead hit the boy''s chin, and the feeling of the upper and lower teeth slamming together was absolutely uncomfortable. Ryan couldn''t stop grinning, but Natalie was also not much better, clutching her forehead and complaining in a low voice. .


    "Nate!"


    "Ryan!"


    It was as if there was a clear heart. The two looked at each other at the same time. When they saw each other''s eyes and gazes collided, they laughed unconsciously. The whole world was infected by their happy laughter.


    "Nate, I am really happy to be friends with you."


    "Me too, Ryan."


    The two of them chatted with each other for an afternoon. Sometimes they laughed because of the same opinions, and sometimes they quarreled because of small differences, but it is undeniable that the two have already become good friend.


    Facing the invitation of Natalie¡¯s family, Ryan stayed for dinner. Just as rumors in the past life and his imagination, all meals are vegetarian, oatmeal, vegan cheese bread and vegetable salad, so much for the boy. Some are not used to it.


    In previous correspondence, he has discussed this issue with Natalie several times. Yes, a vegetarian diet is not a bad habit, but being too strict does not bring much benefit, especially for children who are growing up. Egg white can''t completely replace animal protein, and Natalie''s skinny and petiteness in her previous life is hard to say has nothing to do with her strict vegetarian habit.


    "Nate, UU reading , if you have time, you can go to the crew to visit the crew." After eating this unappetizing dinner, the boy chatted with Natalie''s family.


    "I still have to go to school." Natalie looked at her father. Although she was eager to try, she declined.


    "Okay. It''s getting late, I''m going back to the crew, or Director Columbus will worry about it." Ryan looked at the time and said goodbye.


    "Ryan, how long are you in New York?" Natalie asked.


    "I won''t be able to stay for a few days." The boy thought about it and said, "I''m going to Pennsylvania in a few days, and I''m going to see a friend with Pat. Pat is my agent."


    Ryan is indeed going to Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, to meet his investment agent, Mr. Scott, both for fun and to discuss some things.


    At the beginning, the boy gave him all the royalties obtained by "Jurassic Park". In addition to buying a few long-term stocks, the manager also invested in other aspects. In general There are losses and gains, but the gains are far more than the losses.


    The accountant who manages the finances of the boy will provide him and Nicole with a monitoring report every month. Although he is bad in business, he is also a man for two generations, and simple financial statements can still be understood. Yes, in general, Mr. Scott''s ability and professional ethics have nothing to say.


    It¡¯s just that the boy always thinks his name is a bit familiar. It seems that he has heard of such an investment expert in his previous life.


    ask for collection~~~ ask for tickets~~ some of you give me some~~

 Chapter 29： Discovery on the farm

    In the United States, the county is one level higher than the city, and Montgomery County has more than a dozen in the United States. The one that Ryan wants to go to is located in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania. Its name is the same as that of the famous general in the Battle of Alamein. It doesn''t matter. The reason why it is called Montgomery County is to commemorate Charlie Montgomery who died in the War of Independence.


    Mr. Scott¡¯s farm is not too big, only eleven acres. Perhaps because of the birth of a child, he took a very childlike name¡ªChristmas Tree Farm!


    "Hello, Mr. Scott, is this Mrs. Andrea?"


    Getting out of the car, Ryan saw the manager waiting in front of the beautiful white wooden house, beside him was a blonde woman.


    "Ryan, you are welcome to visit the farm."


    After introducing Pie? Jinsli again, Scott gave the boy a hug. He was a little emotional. The little boy who was not well-known last year has now become an out-and-out star.


    This kind of all-wood structure house is unique in the eyes of the boy, especially the strong country style, just like a country folk song, it will make people unstoppable intoxicated.


    "Wow, so cute!" Walking into the living room, the first thing Ryan saw was the baby in the stroller who was vomiting bubbles, "Can I go over and take a look?"


    "of course can."


    The boy walked to the side of the stroller and blinked, but the little guy on the opposite side blinked like him.


    "Hi, my dear, what''s your name?" Ryan beckoned. The little guy has sapphire eyes.


    "Ahhhhhh~" It''s a pity that the little guy obviously can''t speak yet.


    Ryan could only scratch his head, looked to the other side, and asked, "Mrs. Andrea, is this a little gentleman or a little lady? Did you name it?"


    "It''s a girl."


    "Oh." The boy replied and took out the gift he had prepared in advance. The small red agate bracelet he bought in Canada was stuffed into the little girl''s hand. "Little guy, this is a gift from Uncle Ryan. ."


    Things are not expensive, and Scott didn''t mean to stop him, he laughed after hearing him say that.


    The little girl didn''t seem to appreciate it. At the moment when the red agate bracelet started, she raised her little hand gently and threw it on the ground.


    "Hey, Tyler, this is not what a lady should behave." Mrs. Andrea picked up the bracelet with a smile and stuffed it into the corner of the stroller.


    "Taylor? Our little lady was originally called Taylor." A moment ago, Ryan was still wondering why he named a neutral name. The next moment he stared at the manager who was talking to Jinsli. "Mr. Scott, I remember your last name is Swift, right?"


    "Ryan, you are so sad to say that." Scott seemed to be really hurt. "You don''t even remember the name of the investment agent, my big star Mr."


    "Definitely not." Ryan slapped haha, is it really such a coincidence? But after reminiscing for a while, he felt that he should stay the same, no wonder he always felt that Scott''s name was familiar.


    "Where''s her full name?" the boy pretended to be curious and asked.


    "Taylor Alison Swift." Mrs. Andrea replied.


    That''s right! Ryan sighed. He felt that the big hand of the **** of fate seemed to cover his sky. Born in Pennsylvania in 1989, his father was a stockbroker and his eyes were sapphire blue. He was 99.9% sure. , The little girl in front of me, who is less than one year old, is the little country queen from her previous life.


    Well, this is nothing surprising. Just like Nicole and Natalie, the stars I liked in previous lives will always be inadvertently sent into their lives by the **** of fate.


    Little guy, when you grow up, don''t talk about so much love, or you will become the laughing stock of the world again. Ryan grabbed the little hand in front of him and shook it gently.


    Who knows, he annoyed the little guy this time, Taylor''s mouth tilted, two pearl beans rolled down his cheeks, and then, the earth-shaking cries sounded, Ryan was suddenly at a loss.


    "She should be hungry." Mrs. Andrea smiled and carried the little girl into another room.


    The next thing to talk about is naturally the investment aspect. Ryan has hardly used too much money now, and as the red empire is about to end, the dollar will soon usher in a new round of devaluation. It is better to invest. Even though he only remembers the names of a few stocks, under Scott''s operation, he has absorbed a lot from the market, but his funds are limited and everything can only take his time.


    Furthermore, his goal is not here. Investing more is to preserve value. Of course, if you can make more money, who would mind?


    Although he also wanted to, as in the legend, turn his hands for the cloud and the rain, and from the hands of those consortia and capitalists, to buy the shares of companies that will surely rise in the future, he has now integrated into the Western society and is very clear. If you really come into contact with those people, you will definitely be eaten even if there is no scum left.


    No matter what happens in the future, he can only start from the industry he is engaged in, so that he will not become a rootless duckweed.


    "Scott, didn''t you consider coming to Los Angeles to develop?" After talking about business, a few people started chatting, and Ryan made a suggestion.


    "I don''t have this plan for the time being. Even if I move, I will have to wait until Taylor grows up." Stett looked at his wife and daughter in the room, showing a happy smile.


    "If you want to move, please give priority to Los Angeles? I think we can have more cooperation."


    The beautiful pastoral scenery is always very attractive. The Christmas Tree Farm is not so much a farm as a farm playground. It has the taste of a farmhouse in the past. The Scott family does not count on the income of the farm, so the reason for moving to Here, more is to let my daughter have a beautiful and happy childhood.


    Apart from the hustle and bustle of the city, Ryan also let go a lot, occasionally going to the farm to steal some carrots and damaging some vegetables, and he has no fun. Especially, the rural atmosphere gave him a lot of inspiration, even Once, it only took more than half an hour to make a complete piece of music, allowing the Swift family to learn more about the boy while stunned.


    "Hey, Tyler, did you see it? This is the most beautiful hydrangea. Call me uncle. As long as you call me uncle, I will give it to you." Ryan held the purple hydrangea and dangled in front of the little girl''s cradle Go, it''s a pity that this little guy who can already shout out father and mother, doesn''t eat his temptation at all, stares blue eyes, and doesn''t open his mouth no matter what he says.


    "Well, my dear, you won again." The boy simply fixed the flower to the side of the cradle and took the acoustic guitar he had brought. "Would you like to listen to the song?"


    "Yeah...yeah..."


    The little girl waved her hand. As for what she meant, I''m sorry, Ryan couldn''t guess.


    Lightly plucking the strings, the sound of the guitar rang, and the tune was very soothing. After a short intro, the boy¡¯s increasingly mature singing voice, "Kiss my baby, I¡¯m going to cross the mountains and look for it. The missing sun, look for the missing moon, kiss my baby..."


    ''S faint singing voice is full of warmth, and the tune is more soothing than the previous version. It has obviously been re-arranged. With the boy''s singing, the corner of the mouth of the little guy in the cradle is pulled up, and his watery eyes are curved.


    "Wow~"


    The sky-shaking cry sounded, it was louder than ever before, and the Swifts rushed from the house to the courtyard and looked at the boy holding the guitar at a loss with a smile.


    It has been two days, and they found out that their daughter seems to be in a natural conflict with Ryan. As long as she gets along with him for a long time, she will definitely cry and cry, and when she takes her away, she will immediately smile again.


    "Is there such an exaggeration? Is it hard to listen to me singing?"


    After watching the hug away, the little guy immediately became cloudy and clear, and Ryan couldn''t help but mutter.


    "No, no, Ryan, your singing is very beautiful." Scott gave him a thumbs up and asked puzzledly, "What kind of song is this? Why have I never heard it before? Isn''t it a Western language? "


    "It''s a Chinese song." The boy put his guitar on the wall, "I''d better find Pat to ride a horse, goodbye, little Taylor."


    After three days at the Christmas Tree Farm, Ryan returned to Los Angeles. The filming of "Home Alone" has come to an endThe few remaining shots only need to be done in the studio. In his spare time, he I also began to look through the script of "Terminator 2" and ponder his role.


    Although the movie in the previous life was impressive, the script did not come from his own hands after all. Ryan didn¡¯t dare to care about it. This is Hollywood. As long as he messes it up once, the difficulty of turning over will increase exponentially in the future. What''s more, he will face him. Yes, but an out-and-out tyrant on the set, that guy would not be as patient as David Fincher and Chris Columbus, nor would he be merciful just because he is a child.


    "This is your new play? The sequel to "Terminator"?" During the break, Chris Columbus happened to see the script the boy was watching.


    "Yeah." The news that the movie is about to start has already been circulated, and the boy didn''t mind, "It''s likely that it will start next month."


    "I really don''t know what to say."


    Director Columbus sighed. In the shooting for more than a month, the boy''s performance far exceeded his expectations. The speed of the shooting has a lot to do with his good condition.


    Ryan smiled, but didn''t say anything. To be honest, this kind of funny movie for the sake of hilariousness has little room for him to play, but it is undeniable that it was a very pleasant experience. The filming was more like A grand party, unlike the "Sixth Sense", made him feel so heavy.


    And although Chris Columbus is not young, he has always maintained a childlike innocence. No wonder he has been the best year-round film director in Hollywood in his previous life.

 Chapter 30： Sell ??small

    In addition to filming and thinking about roles, Ryan also has to be poisoned by a tutor. Now it is not the time to go out, and he has a lot of fame. He naturally became the focus of the Children¡¯s Association. They will send them almost every week. People come to check, if the crew doesn''t want to cause trouble, they can only do it according to their rules.


    Fortunately, the tutor is not a rigid person. Although he maintains a three-hour teaching time per day according to the regulations, after Ryan asked some questions, it was like a school class. She told her, boy. What to do or what to do.


    When is a day like this one? After changing into the costume, Ryan looked at herself in the mirror and sighed.


    Speaking of it, in the past six months, he has grown a lot taller, and even when he sleeps, he feels that his body is creaking and growing.


    Moreover, with the adoption by Nicole, nutrition is no longer a problem. After last year, his thin body has changed significantly. Not only is he stronger, his height is also a bit taller than his peers.


    But even so, the boy is still complaining that it grows too slowly. He really wants to grow up overnight.


    After leaving the studio, seeing that there was no battery car passing by, Ryan walked towards the gate of the studio. The film studio rented by the crew was not far from the gate, but when he walked half the distance, he suddenly remembered that he came out early today. Some, forgot to inform Jinsli.


    Looking at the same distance between the entrance of the studio and the studio, Ryan didn''t bother to turn his head and move on. However, he thought that he should get himself a mobile phone or an assistant. Otherwise, he would always let Kim like that. Siri''s role as both a broker and a nanny will affect her business.


    If she is the only person under her name, it¡¯s fine, but she is still Nicole¡¯s agent, and it¡¯s not very good to affect Nicole in order to pick up these little things.


    "Pat? I''m Ryan, yes, I forgot to inform you that the shooting ended early today. I called a taxi to go back. Okay, I''ll wait for you at the gate of the studio."


    After borrowing the phone from the studio to inform Jinsli, Ryan said to the middle-aged security guard at the door, "Thank you, Wood."


    "You''re welcome." Wood showed an embarrassed look on his face. "Ryan, can you tell me, when will Harry Potter''s third episode be available? Don''t get me wrong, it was not the reporter who asked me to inquire about it, mine. Both my son and daughter like this book very much. They know that I work on the set, so..."


    "I''m sorry, Wood." The boy smiled helplessly, "It should be impossible this year."


    "This is really not good news." Wood laughed similarly.


    As the news of his appearance in "Home Alone" was revealed by the media, topics about him gradually flooded the newspapers, which also caused the sales of the two Harry Potter books that had begun to work to increase a lot, let alone In the call urged by the "Alien Body" publishing house, even many parents called for the next episode to be published as soon as possible.


    Let''s talk about it later. Ryan thought, and walked out of the set. Just when he was habitually distracted, a few bright lights flashed in front of him, followed by the "click" of the camera shutter, before he turned around, several microphones and a small tape recorder. It was handed to the front.


    "Ryan, it is said that you personally wrote the script of "Home Alone". Is it the same as the original story?"


    Hearing what this reporter said, the boy really wanted to ask him if you are an idiot? The adaptation of the movie is the same as that story. Isn''t it a dead end?


    ""Sixth Sense" achieved a North American box office of 290 million. Do you think "Home Alone" can achieve this result?"


    "It is said that Disney arranged for this movie from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Can such a short time really make an excellent movie?"


    "You''re going to ask Touchstone Pictures about this, you shouldn''t ask me." Ryan said, he wanted to return to the set, but these guys would let him go so easily.


    "I''m Kewell from World News Weekly. You have never returned to the Norston Orphanage since you became famous. Can it be understood that you lack the most basic gratitude, and Miss Nicole Kidman back then? Is it because you can get huge profits from your works?"


    Ryan really wanted to spit a star on his face. He is indeed the most conscientious media paparazzi in the world. He looks at others with the most sinister, despicable, and shameless eyes. For this kind of boring problem, the boy is right. I didn''t care, turned around and wanted to leave.


    However, he is only a minor. Although these reporters kept a certain distance from him, they surrounded him in a circle, assuming that you would not let you leave if you didn''t answer.


    In his previous life, Ryan also saw this situation on the Internet. Those little child stars were often frightened by them and talked nonsense, so that these guys took the handle, even if it was a small problem. They interpreted it as a big trouble.


    The boy doesn¡¯t care. He has an age advantage now. No matter how crazy these guys are, they don¡¯t dare to go too far. You know, assaulting minors in the United States is a felony.


    "Ryan, did you not answer because of a guilty conscience." The paparazzi yelled unwillingly, "You have written so many works in four years. Did someone give you a ghostwriter?"


    Take out a pair of earphones, put them on the ears without hurriedly, and in full view of the reporter paparazzi, took out a silver-white miniature player from the backpack, as if in slow motion, turned on the switch, inserted the earplugs, and clicked. Turn the voice to the maximum with a very slow speed.


    "Master, I will sell it as a small shop today!"


    Ryan murmured, the voice is not too small, but unfortunately none of the people present can understand, he used standard Chinese.


    Those reporters are a little dumbfounded. They have interviewed many child stars. Even Judy Foster, who is recognized as the smartest, would not be so leisurely when facing the media. That guy completely regarded them as air.


    Yes it is! If it is an adult celebrity, they will plug the microphone to his mouth and wash his face with spitting stars, but the other party is only ten years old. Under all the eyes, if you really do this, losing your job is a trivial matter. I''ll go in and stay for a few months.


    "Don''t wander around midnight and weekends, please come to Apple Paradise, welcome the wandering children..."


    Then, something that made them even more glaring happened. The little guy actually sang a song leisurely, still using a language they didn''t understand, but the sound was unpleasant, and it was more infiltrating than the wolf howling on the Montana prairie.


    It''s not that Ryan doesn''t know that he must have a good relationship with the media now. The reason why he did this is that he has seen the nameplates of these reporters a long time ago. Almost none of them are from major newspapers. To be precise, they should be called paparazzi.


    The paparazzi will have a conscience? You sell them well, they will remember? Would be grateful? Don''t be kidding, if that were the case, the Chinese men''s football team would have won the World Cup.


    What''s more, since the day he became famous, these tabloids have attacked him, especially the notorious guys such as "New York Post" and "World News Weekly". He is not the kind of being slapped on the left cheek. The person who will put his right cheek in the past.


    He also knows that behind the most rampant tabloid newspaper in the United States, there is a giant¡ªNews Corp., which he can not provoke at all. If this is the case, then non-violent non-cooperation is good, and one day he will profit from the original. When I came back, in front of the future couple of old and young wives, I chanted "A Pear Blossom Presses Begonia"!


    The two sides held a stalemate for nearly five minutes. Wood at the door of the set finally found out who was surrounded by the paparazzi. He hurriedly called a few colleagues and squeezed in, protecting Ryan back to the set. It was just a squeeze. Some people have their hats crooked, some have their shoes off, and some have their hair turned into birdhouses.


    The most amazing thing is Wood. He deliberately squeezed a few paparazzi''s tape recorder microphones onto the ground during the chaos. The boy was even quicker and rushed out of those devices. This is not the era when video recording was flying everywhere. Under such a chaotic situation, the ghost knew who stepped on it.


    "My recorder!" "My microphone!"


    Just after they entered the set, the paparazzi clamored in despair, but unfortunately, it was not so easy for them to get in because of the fire and theft and journalists on the set.


    "Thank you, I have invited afternoon tea!"


    It¡¯s because he never put on stinky airs in front of people and often greeted these people at the door, UUreading , they could take the initiative to help him. If you change to a person like Atang, you will be beaten by paparazzi. People will never move, and will take the initiative to break the news to the media the next day.


    Things don¡¯t cost much money, just a cup of coffee per person. I have to say that some of the education the boy has received in his previous life will help him in this life. After all, people who are too arrogant can¡¯t do it anywhere. popular.


    When the boy got in Jinsli¡¯s car and went out, the guys who were going crazy almost took pictures on the glass of the car door. Unfortunately, the car¡¯s film has undergone special treatment, and nothing can be photographed from the outside. of.


    "What''s wrong with them? Don''t you be afraid that I will go to the court to apply for an injunction?" Jinsli was a little strange.


    "It''s nothing, it''s just a small loss." Ryan explained what had happened in a simple and clear way. "I still have an age advantage. In a few years, these guys will be even more unscrupulous."


    Jinsli laughed blankly. Although he didn''t approve of the boy''s behavior very much, there was no doubt that he had used his current advantages to the fullest and knew how to buy people''s hearts. He really couldn''t treat him as a child anymore.


    "Relax, Pat, I have a sense of measure. These are all paparazzi from tabloid newspapers. Even if I treat them well, will they say good things about me?"


    "Well, Ryan."


    "Pat, I think I need an assistant, preferably an assistant who can be a driver and a bodyguard." The boy began to be whimsical again.


    "I will pay attention."


    ask for collection~~ ask for tickets~~

 Chapter 31： because of you

    There are not many shots about him in "Home Alone", otherwise Ryan will definitely be crazy. In his opinion, Disney and Touchstone are going crazy about money. A movie that starts in August is scheduled for Thanksgiving. It was released on Christmas schedule, and it was really a loss that they could think of.


    However, he has also gradually become familiar with the operation of Hollywood, knowing that although this situation is not particularly frequent, it is also not uncommon. Although many people in the crew are complaining, in the face of three times the overtime pay, they are only complaining. That''s it.


    Ryan can fully imagine that after this movie is released, Carter Eisner will definitely change his current position in the touchstone, and no one will bring his uncle Michael Eisner out to talk about things. Since "Sixth Sense" can win nearly $300 million in the North American box office, this previous 90-year box office champion will certainly not meet Waterloo.


    There is no doubt that Disney is still the best company to produce movies of all ages. Maybe the next few movies should continue to work with them?


    "Ryan, here it is." Jinsli interrupted his random thoughts. The boy responded, pushed the door and got out of the car, and walked into the restaurant with the manager lady.


    The restaurant is when Nicole is not at home, Ryan¡¯s regular dining restaurant is Mr. Zhou¡¯s restaurant. The waiter here has been familiar with him for a long time. After a simple greeting, they led the two to the seat Ryan was accustomed to. Place.


    "Old rules, Ryan?"


    The waiter who came over was an old acquaintance, the Chinese he met when he first came. The conversation with the boy was even in standard Chinese.


    "A full set of Lu dishes, egg fried rice is a bit older, and, Li Ping, when will you have Beijing roast duck and Texas grilled chicken?" Ryan reiterated the old saying.


    "Ryan, your requirements are too high. I have never seen authentic Peking duck or Texas grilled chicken." Li Ping knew the temper of the man in front of him, knowing that he was just joking.


    In all fairness, this restaurant is one of the few places where you can make authentic Chinese food. Even if there is a difference in the taste of the hometown food of the previous generation, it is already very rare.


    Of course, the dishes they usually cook are all Westernized. After all, there are still a few Westerners who can eat real Chinese food, and Ryan comes more often, so they naturally know his taste.


    Similarly, the boy also inquired about the old bottom of Mr. Zhou''s restaurant. Somewhat unexpectedly, the owner of this restaurant is the Chinese catering giant Zhou Yinghua in the previous life. He has learned about this person Ryan''s past life and knows that his father is a generation of Peking Opera master Qilintong. .


    After the meal, Ryan packed another crab dumpling as a midnight snack, and returned home. He just entered the apartment building and was unavoidably rioted by the paparazzi. Fortunately, as time went on, he gradually got used to it. This kind of life, anyway, is just a bunch of buzzing flies.


    "Ryan, remember to lock the door at night, unless it''s me and Nicole, don''t open the door for him." Jinsli solemnly instructed before leaving.


    The law and order in the United States is not as good as imagined. In addition to the rich gathering areas, there are endless crimes in slums and black areas. Although the law and order in Westwood is good, there are also cases. A boy alone at home is somewhat worrying.


    Originally, Jinsli wanted to take him to her house, but Ryan didn''t like to live with people other than Nicole. Besides, the manager lady had to date and had her own life.


    In fact, what Ryan is most worried about is not criminals. After all, the most evil people are only a few. He is the most disgusting paparazzi. These guys who do everything for the news have once dressed up as various characters and want to lure him. Open the door, but how could they have thought that the boy had seen many inter-provincial water meter checking incidents in his previous life, and the paparazzi were completely infamous compared with those professional-level masters.


    Sure enough, one hour after Pai Jinsli left, the routine harassment incident was staged again every night. As the doorbell rang, Ryan, who was struggling to write, put down the pen in his hand and came to the door of the room.


    "Who? What''s the matter?" Ryan asked through the door.


    "Is it Mr. Ryan Jenkins? This is Beatty Noli from FedEx, and I have a copy of your express." A woman''s voice was heard outside the door.


    "Express? Where did it come from?"


    "Seattle!" The people outside seemed to be prepared.


    The boy rolled his eyes. Obviously, the people outside thought that Nicole was still in Seattle and would write to himself, but they didn¡¯t know that they never wrote letters, just talked on the phone, if she said it was from For express mail in New York, I''m not sure I will open the door.


    "Madam, there is a mailbox at the door, just put the express mail in it, and, please find out a little bit next time, please, Miss Nicole Kidman has left Seattle long ago." Ryan did not hold back in the end. Sneered.


    These guys have been for so many days, and they still don¡¯t give up. Do they really think they are a kid who is easy to cheat? Or do you think that you are just like them, with water in your head?


    Don¡¯t say anything else, they really want to come in like this. As long as they have enough evidence, they can sue them for breaking into a private house. Perhaps in their hearts, a ten-year-old child, no matter how smart, would not understand the law.


    It seems that moving is not without benefits. In Beverly Hills where the rich and famous are everywhere, these guys will somewhat converge. Ryan shook his head, checked the time, walked to the sofa, and dialed Nicole''s phone.


    "Nicole, I miss you." Listening to the familiar voice, Ryan felt deep thoughts.


    "I miss you too, Ryan."


    "When are you going back to Los Angeles?" the boy asked.


    "It''s coming next month."


    "May I visit your class? "Home Alone" will be closed soon."


    "Ryan, you should be back to school. The principal called me again, dear, don''t worry me, okay?"


    "That... okay." Despite being very reluctant, Ryan agreed. He didn''t want the Children''s Association to trouble Nicole.


    "A paparazzi harassing you today? I just talked to Pat on the phone." Nicole''s tone was obviously concerned and a little worried.


    "It''s nothing, they knock on our door every day."


    "My dear, I know you are smart and you have ways to deal with them, but don''t forget your age, and you must protect yourself."


    "Nicole, when will the villa be renovated?"


    "Want to move? Soon, I promise, our new home will be beautiful and unique."


    After talking on the phone, Ryan suddenly felt a little confused. He knew that Nicole had his own life and career, and he couldn''t be around him all the time, but the feeling of not seeing each other for a long time really made him very uncomfortable. When she went back to Australia to film "Cross the Horizon", the two had not been separated for so long.


    Hey, I am really about to become a child, still a child who lacks maternal love! Ryan gave a wry smile, and then remembered that after two lives, maternal love has always been strange to him.


    What is between me and Nicole? He remembered the question he had deliberately ignored, attachment? Very thick! Sister and brother? there must be. The love of mother and child? Very few but not without. what about others? He didn''t dare to think about it, but he knew that he always had extravagant hopes...


    Because of me, you have a completely different life! Because of you, I have found the light that once left me! Because of you, I have strengthened my goal even more! Because of you, I have a sense of security that I have never had before!


    Nicole, do you know? It''s all because of you!


    Faint sentimentality and strong longing occupied his heart like this. If Nicole Kidman was in front of his eyes, he really wanted to express this emotion, but it was a pity that she could not feel it, thousands of miles away.


    Unknowingly, the boy naturally sat in front of the piano in the corner of the living room. Perhaps music is the best way to express feelings.


    Slender fingers with thin calluses landed on the black and white keys, and the tactful tunes made people strangled and sentimental, as if they had shocking power. Although Ryan''s singing has not completely shaken off its immaturity, it has a touch to the soul. magnetic.


    Only after the chorus was over, the boy stopped. There is no doubt that the song is touching, but it is too sad, and the meaning expressed in the lyrics does not apply between him and Nicole. Re-arrangement And to modify the lyrics is a must.


    As for plagiarism? There is no pressure for him. If it is not for age, his plagiarized and original songs may have been flying all over the sky.


    Regarding this, Ryan is extremely confident.


    "Home Alone" is finally closed, and the actors have unloaded their heavy burdens. During this period of time, Carter Eisner urged them to be a little crazy. If it were not for three times the salary to hang in the front, I am afraid that someone in the crew would have asked for it. Rebelled, like Ryan.


    "Carter, just let me go!" Ryan waved his arms, seeming a little excited. "I know that cooperating with the production party is an obligation to promote, but you always have to let me rest for a while? Let''s talk about it. I really don¡¯t have time to show on TV. I have lost a lot of my homework. If I don¡¯t go back to school, I will definitely repeat the grade. Maybe I will be expelled from St. John¡¯s Primary School. Do you want to watch the disaster happen?"


    "No, Ryan, I will definitely close my eyes when the time comes." Even if he knew that the other party was a bit exaggerated, Carter Eisner couldn''t do much. After all, children''s law is not a display. "Well, Ryan. However, You may need to dub some clips later in the film."


    "No problem, you can contact Pat then." Ryan rubbed his forehead, "If there is nothing else, then I will leave."


    "Ryan, don''t you think we can continue to cooperate?"


    "Carter, I understand what you mean. I''ll wait until the movie is released, and then I will say it? I will also participate in the filming of "Terminator 2". I really don''t have time to think about other issues." After the boy declined, he stayed. After a tail, "Disney is the best film production company for all ages. As long as I have creativity in this area, I will give priority to you."

 Chapter 32： little girl

    "Cut! Damn, Ryan, you are playing a rebellious child, not an eighteen-year-old adult." Cameron stood up from behind the camera and reprimanded mercilessly, "I don''t care how much you are. Precocious! Here, you must show me the lively, rebellious, and a little bit cynical of your age!"


    "I''m sorry, Jim!" The boy shook his somewhat exaggerated part, then rubbed his face vigorously.


    After entering October, "Terminator 2" started, and Ryan had to ask the school for leave again. In order to reduce unnecessary troubles, she simply asked Jinsili to donate a lot of sponsorship to the school in the name of Nicole. Money can make ghosts push the wheel, which is more obvious in the kingdom of capital. After that, the school happily agreed to his request.


    But this filming is definitely not a pleasant experience. Let alone the party-like "Home Alone", the atmosphere in the "Sixth Sense" crew is much more relaxed than here, and the reason for all of this is sitting The director with his beard removed in the director''s chair.


    Now the investment in "Terminator 2" has been added to 90 million US dollars. This huge number is not only a kind of glory, but also more pressure. If it is screwed up, James Cameron will absolutely have no face to mix in Hollywood again. Going down, his temper and mood at this time can be imagined.


    Arnold Schwarzenegger had always had a good relationship with him, and now they have their tails obediently caught.


    Despite Ryan¡¯s humble attitude, the tyrant on the set did not want to let him go. You must know that this shot has been NG more than ten times, and his anger tank is already full, "Ryan, I don¡¯t care if you are a genius writer. Still the best child star in Hollywood, now! In "Terminator 2", I want you to show 200% of the state, "Sixth Sense" is already in the past tense, if you are still immersed in the past achievements In, believe me, I will hand you to Skynet by myself!"


    "Do you know? Ryan, today you are the worst you I have ever seen. If it weren''t for the **** Children''s Association, I would have thrown you into the sea just now to make you sober." James Cameron reprimanded If the boy is really an ordinary child, he will definitely be taught to cry.


    "Don''t mind, he is like this, he doesn''t recognize him at work." Arnold Schwarzenegger patted his back lightly.


    "So he is a tyrant on the set." Ryan shrugged. How did Cameron look like on the set? How could he not know, he was already mentally prepared.


    "Set Tyrant?" Schwarzenegger was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Yes, this name suits him too well."


    Could it be that this guy''s nickname hasn''t been called yet? Ryan''s mouth trembled. Seeing Cameron finally stopped and his expression returned to normal, he deliberately sighed hard and said, "Jim, I remember there was a shovel in the crew. You can lend me one. ?"


    "What do you want that thing for?" The director was puzzled.


    "Go to the roadside to dig a pit and bury yourself." Ryan spread his hands, with a look of regret, "I felt very ashamed after hearing your reprimand. I am sorry for the efforts of everyone in the crew, and I am sorry for the vast majority. The American people of the United States, for the third time I am sorry to the federal government, they really have no face to meet people, so they simply buried themselves."


    Everyone in the crew laughed, even James Cameron was amused. Every time after he reprimanded him, this little guy always found a suitable way to fight back and made him unable to say anything.


    "Okay, okay, everyone has to hurry up, we have sealed this street for most of the day, and if we continue, someone will come to make trouble." Mario Casa pointed to a bunch of people not far away, " Another advertising crew is waiting. If we drag on, they will rush over to grab the site."


    Ryan took the water handed by the crew assistant, took a sip, sat down silently, thinking quietly.


    "Ryan." I don''t know when, James Cameron came over, "In my opinion, you are not below me at all for the understanding of this film. Remember when you auditioned for John Connor. The analysis? Rebellious heart without losing innocence and kindness. This shouldn''t be a problem for you, isn''t it?"


    The shots taken today are not very difficult, but almost all show the rebellious side of John Connor, such as arguing with his adoptive parents, stealing money from the cash machine, riding a small motorbike on the street, and shooting a few days ago. Compared to the lenses that need to show acting skills, it couldn¡¯t be easier.


    However, no one would have imagined that in the shooting a few days ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton suppressed the genius children who could not raise their heads. Faced with these simple shots, they suddenly There is no status.


    Strictly speaking, Ryan cut most of the memories of his previous life into two pieces with a single knife. The useful ones are integrated into his consciousness of this life, and the useless ones are pressed in the deepest and darkest part of my heart, as long as they don¡¯t go. Touch, maybe it''s hard to remember in this life.


    However, when I starred in "The Sixth Sense", the heavy atmosphere and the feeling of the play in the play opened the door. Although it was later freed from the influence of something, there was a gap in the door after all.


    Now, with this meditation, the pictures of the previous life came to my mind again. Some things that he had overlooked finally returned to the memory. There is no doubt that this will be of great help to the next shooting. However, with More and more images appear, can his mood remain stable?


    In his consciousness, it seemed that a century had passed, but in reality it was just a blink of an eye. The extravagant hope he had overlooked suddenly became extremely clear.


    Do not! I am not an ungrateful bastard! The boy clenched his fists unknowingly, repressing the thoughts that might ruin everything.


    However, he has been a human for two lives, but he still does not understand a truth. Once the seed sprouts, there will always be a day when it will grow into a towering tree.


    Although NG is still inevitable, Ryan''s condition has obviously begun to improve. Some shots have even been passed once. Today, there has been some delay in progress and it has begun to become smoother.


    Those scenes of crazy sprint riding on a small motorcycle are mostly side and back shots. This kind of dangerous shots will naturally have stunt doubles. Even if it is a close-up of the front, Ryan only needs to put on a posture.


    The two huge fans buzzed and turned, and the oncoming wind almost made Ryan unable to open his eyes, but he still had to keep his eyes open, and also tried to show a natural appearance, the rear of the small motorcycle. On the seat, there was another little actor holding a tape recorder, and the motorcycle stopped in place, moving the camera mounted on the slide rail.


    filmed in this way, coupled with post-production, became the frontal close-up of two rebellious teenagers racing in the movie.


    Today¡¯s filming is over. Although there was a lot of time delay at the beginning, but later I grabbed some back, and finally it didn¡¯t last until dark.


    Ryan changed his clothes, and when he got out of the trailer, another crew filming the commercial had already occupied the half of the street.


    stood on the periphery and took a look. The boy was about to leave, but a little girl ran out of the diagonal stab and stopped in front of him.


    "You...stop me!"


    The little girl is at most five years old, her rare brown-red hair is slightly curly, her bulging face is dotted with stars and freckles, making her look extremely cute.


    Ryan scratched his head, as if he didn''t know her.


    "You idiot, you keep shooting NG! NG! NG! I have been waiting until now, do you want the sun to fall into the sea when I finish shooting the commercial?" The little girl''s accent is still very immature , But it''s unceremonious to be sarcastic.


    Am I so bad? Ryan raised his head subconsciously, and even though the sun had moved westward, it still hung high in the sky, and there was still some distance from falling into the sea.


    "What''s your name? Don''t think I will let you go!" The little girl put on a vicious look.


    Just when Ryan was dumbfounded, a couple came out from the commercial crew, "Linsai, the filming is about to start, go put on makeup!"


    "You are not allowed to go!" After the middle-aged woman picked up the girl, she was still reluctant.


    "Okay! Then I''ll go over and see if you little guy will shoot NG!"


    Ryan followed behind the couple. UU Reading walked over. There was a faint smell of alcohol in his nose. The smell of alcohol came from the man. Look at his face and eye sockets. Sunken, drooping bags under the eyes, blue eye sockets, and some redness on the nose, whether it is a drug addict or an alcoholic, or even both.


    The little girl filmed an advertisement for children''s clothing. It was actually very simple. It was just changing clothes, showing a bright smile, and running across the street.


    Compared with a child of her age, the girl is indeed very remarkable. Except for the makeup time, it only took more than ten minutes to take all the front, side, and back shots, and there was no NG.


    "Interesting!" Ryan looked very interested.


    "What''s interesting?" The assistant who followed didn''t understand what he was saying.


    "Don''t you think this girl has talent and potential?"


    Not long after, the little girl who had changed her clothes came over, staring at Ryan, "You! Tell me how to pay for my time?"


    "How do you want me to pay?" Ryan asked back.


    "Yeah~" The little girl pinched her chin and circled him around him. She looked like a small adult, "Pay me the banana boat for two passengers, and I will assume that nothing happened today!"


    "Slap~"


    There was a crisp sound from behind the boy. When he looked back, he saw that the couple who should be the little girl¡¯s parents had a dispute together. The man slapped the woman''s face and snatched her. The leather bag, got into an old Ford on the side of the road, and galloped away.

 Chapter 33： Motorcyclist Bar

    Ryan seemed to think of something, and there was no clear concept for a while. When she turned around, she saw the little girl who was very lively before, biting her lips tightly, her eyes flushed and staring at the leaving car, two rows of tears were there. Unknowingly, it flowed down her cheeks.


    The people in the advertising crew turned a blind eye to all this, and seemed to have long been used to such a scene. The woman calmed down. After blinking her eyes twice, she slowly walked over to her daughter.


    "Linsey, let''s go home!" The woman took her daughter''s hand.


    "But Mom, we don''t have a car!" The little girl didn''t know when she wiped away her tears.


    "I''m going to call a taxi!" The woman had just finished speaking, but she suddenly remembered that her purse was stolen by her husband, and where there is money to find a taxi.


    Ryan shook his head, with a rare empathy, looked at the assistant of the crew, and nodded slightly after the other party showed an inquiring look.


    "This lady, if you don''t mind, you can take our car!" The assistant invited her very politely.


    "This...how good?" The woman was a little embarrassed.


    "Mom!" The little girl spoke at this time, pointing to Ryan and said, "It is because he keeps NG that made us wait until now. Let them send us back. This is what it should be!"


    The black car quickly left the street where it was filmed, and headed to the address line reported by the woman. Fortunately, it was a middle-class area, otherwise the driving assistant would definitely not agree.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins, this is Dina Rohan." The woman sitting in the co-pilot clearly recognized the boy.


    "Hello, Mrs. Rohan." Ryan greeted politely, but the little girl sitting next to him was very unconvinced, "Huh, what''s so great, a guy who can only be NG."


    Ryan can only laugh helplessly, can''t argue with a little girl, right?


    "Lindsay, you are so rude." The woman turned her head and showed an apologetic smile.


    "It''s okay." Ryan shook his hand graciously.


    Along the way, the boy could see that this Ms. Dina Rohan seemed to want to ask something, but did not speak until he got out of the car, and he didn''t want to cause trouble, so he had to pretend not to see it.


    This is a very troublesome family. He doesn''t want to have too much relationship with them, even if it is a very fun thing to save young women who have missed their feet.


    In the next few days, the shots were all unrelated to the boy. He went back to school altogether. Now his classmates are used to his existence. Although they will ask about some rumors in the entertainment industry from time to time, but under the constraints of the school, Onlookers rarely happen again.


    Besides, children of this age are more interested in youth idols, rather than little kids of the same age.


    "Nicole, I miss you so much!"


    Nicole Kidman just walked into the house, the boy rushed over and hugged her tightly, as if he didn''t want to separate from her for a moment.


    "My dear, I miss you too." After a habitual kiss on the boy''s forehead, Nicole put down his luggage and simply picked him up and put him on the sofa. "Ryan, you have weighed a lot and you can''t use it anymore. I won''t be able to hold you for a long time."


    "After that, I will hug you." Ryan''s words didn''t go through the brain at all. After speaking, he realized something was wrong. Fortunately, Nicole''s attention was not on it. "Ryan, get me a box of juice. , I''m almost exhausted."


    "Ok."


    Seeing the boy walking into the kitchen, Nicole frowned slightly, always feeling that Ryan seemed a little different from before, but she couldn''t tell the specific differences. She felt that his attachment to her had not diminished. But there is something else in it.


    Maybe he has grown up, right? He can''t always be a child, there will always be the day when he grows up, when he will have his own life, he will leave himself...


    Nicole Kidman was stunned suddenly, his eyes flickered a few times, he patted his forehead vigorously, and shouted **** in his heart.


    "Nicole, are you uncomfortable?" Ryan put strawberry juice on the coffee table.


    "It''s okay, maybe it''s too tired." She changed the subject calmly, "How was the shooting of "Terminator 2"?"


    "Don''t mention it, James Cameron is a tyrant on set. I swear that I will never perform in his films in the future." The boy said, leaning on Nicole habitually, "under his reprimand , You will find that you are simply useless."


    "I heard that the investment in the film has reached 90 million US dollars?"


    "Yes." He nodded vigorously, "This will definitely not be the end. The investment in this movie will definitely reach an unprecedented 100 million US dollars."


    "By the way, Nicole. Shall we go to the studio together tonight? They are going to shoot in a bar."


    "okay then."


    This film requires a lot of location shots and special effects processing. It will be moved to California, Nevada, New Mexico and other places. Even in order to make the end of the film, James Cameron also asked him to rent another one. The steel plant that has been suspended for maintenance shall be rectified.


    Of course, the crew has no plans to leave California. The scene to be filmed in the evening is the scene where Schwarzenegger broke into the motorcycle rider bar at the beginning of the movie.


    "This...what''s going on?" The woman who broke into the bar was a little dumbfounded.


    Things in the world are often more bizarre than movies. When filming, a woman with a coquettish dress broke into this motorcycle rider bar. She completely ignored the truck carrying the scenery and the cameras all over, thinking it was a real bar.


    Especially when she saw Schwarzenegger wearing only shorts, there was a green light in her eyes. There was no doubt that as long as the future governor hooked her finger, she would directly pounce on it.


    And the answer of the future governor is even more amazing, "We are holding a men''s striptease night, you are welcome to participate, madam!"


    "You... You are Schwarzenegger, are you making a movie?" The coquettish woman finally reacted, but her next reaction was not to leave quickly, but to poke Schwarzenegger''s strong chest muscles hard. He also stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.


    Although Schwarzenegger is not a good man, he is not interested in this gaudy woman. He hurriedly backed up two steps, looking defeated, and two staff members who almost smiled and bent over quickly walked over. , And even persuaded and pulled the woman out of the bar.


    "Wow, Arnold, you are so beautiful!" Ryan almost coughed with a smile.


    "Ryan, you are slander!" After the assistant took the clothes, Schwarzenegger put it on him and walked over.


    "I didn''t expect that you tough guy would have such a funny side!" Ryan sat on the side and took two shots of her legs, showing Nicole''s legs.


    Schwarzenegger suddenly curled his mouth, revealing a slightly sinister smile, which is really rare.


    But this smile gave the boy a strong sense of sight. He immediately thought of Schwarzenegger''s smile that let him get rid of the title of facial paralysis in the real lie. Isn''t it like this?


    "and many more!"


    The boy raised a finger, "Arnold, keep this smile!"


    "Mr. Lane, can you help me record it?" He looked at one of James Cameron''s assistants.


    "Happy to help."


    "Exterior view/Villa entrance. Time/night."


    "The agent nodded to him when he passed by a security guard. When he walked to the parking lot terrace, a security guard ran after him. The security guard put down the walkie-talkie to ask questions, sir, please show your invitation!"


    "The agent did not turn around and took out a box directly from his pocket, with a slightly insidious smile on the corner of his mouth. (Note, Arnold¡¯s smile when he was in the bar.) This is a remote detonator."


    "The agent said, this is my invitation, and he pressed the button leisurely, bang! A huge fireball was blown out!"


    "Okay, that''s it for now!" Ryan waved.


    The rest of the crew all gathered around and looked at the boy in amazement. Although it was only a fragment, it seemed to be caused by the smile of Schwarzenegger.


    "Ryan, don''t tell me, you are about to start writing scripts again." James Cameron came over.


    "It''s not a new script. I watched an old French movie some time ago. I had some ideas. It just happened that Arnold''s smile fits a scene I conceived." Ryan is not just talking about it. Since joining the crew, He started James Cameron''s idea.


    "If you don''t mind, can you talk about it?" Cameron showed a sly smile, UU reading www. uukanshu.com "I think everyone here wants to hear about the creative ideas of super geniuses."


    There was a roaring noise immediately around, causing Nicole to roll his eyes.


    "All right." The boy looked at Schwarzenegger, "Arnold rode on the streets of Washington, chasing terrorists, um... Also, you can use two Sea Harrier fighters to launch Mavericks missiles and blow up Miami. The cross-sea bridge, Arnold, are you interested in flying the Sea Harrier fighter? You can fly the plane through the steel jungle of the city to rescue the daughter kidnapped by the terrorists."


    "Wow, it sounds different from all your works. It seems to be an action drama." Schwarzenegger squeezed his chin, "It seems that I am going to transform into an all-round fighter."


    "Arnold, don''t you think the smile you showed to me just now is very sinister, maybe by virtue of this, those film critics who like Hawwaiwai will not say that you are facial paralysis again. Do you mind if I say that? Thank you!" Boy Continue to say, "Although Stallone is the real facial paralysis in my opinion, you can only count as half."


    "Really? Then I''ll wait to see your full version of the script!" Schwarzenegger was obviously interested.


    "Jim, how about you?" The boy looked at Cameron.


    "It sounds good, but let''s wait until you finish the script!"


    There is no footage of Ryan here. The reason why he called Nicole to come is just to let her come out to relax and relax. By the way, I watched the tyrant on the set, but I didn¡¯t expect to see such a wonderful scene. It is a pity that the lady of the Kennedy family is not present, otherwise it will definitely become the eight o''clock gear.

 Chapter 34： Filming

    James Cameron made a six to eight month shooting plan for "Terminator 2". As the future savior of the film, his shots are indispensable in almost every scene. Ryan can only follow the crew in California. Tossing around.


    Among them, there are both the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza where John Connor meets the two Terminators, and San Fernando¡¯s highway flood control drainage canal.


    In addition, I have personally experienced the treatment of patients with mental illnesses at the Psychotherapy Center in Los Angeles Lakeview Cinema.


    Originally, Cameron¡¯s original script did not have this paragraph, but at the strong request of Linda Hamilton, he and William Schell, Jr., revised the script, and the female man did appear to be surprising. The side.


    Yes, although Linda Hamilton actually does not look as sturdy as in the movie, she has also developed a lot of muscles. Ryan heard her say that in order to shoot this role, she hired a former IDF member She started training after proofreading. During the thirteen weeks of training, she trained six days a week for three hours a day. Not only did she lose 12 pounds of fat, she also made the whole person look sturdy and strong.


    It''s really not easy to be a good actor! This is the boy''s only emotion.


    Of course, there were still quite a few troubles during the shooting. However, as a minor, Ryan was the key protection object of the crew, and most troubles happened to others.


    For example, when filming the chase scene of the flood control channel, there were several Arnold''s very chic spinning gun movements, but during the shooting, there was a serious accident. When he was spinning the shotgun, his finger was hooked on the trigger. I almost cut off the whole finger, so the indestructible T800 can only go to the hospital for maintenance.


    Also, in this chase scene, the truck prepared by the crew was a bit higher than the highway bridge, making Cameron angry.


    "Have you not visited the site? Sorry? Sorry to let the time back? Two hours, I only give you two hours. If it can''t be solved, everyone in the props team will be gone!"


    After hearing his angry voice, Ryan remembered that the script here is different from the movie in the previous life. He rolled his eyes and moved forward, "Jim, why can''t I change the script? For example, Robert drives a car. How about cutting off the high part of the truck when I hit the bridge? This can show the ruthlessness of the T1000 and increase the impact of the lens."


    "Good idea." Cameron slapped his palm hard, "Ryan, I should have asked you to write the script together!"


    Working with you? Looking at the tyrant who went to the props group, the boy curled his lips, unless I was crazy!


    "Ryan, do you always have so many ghost ideas?" Robert Patrick is the opposite of his T1000, he is a very kind and laughable person in life.


    "Hey, Mr. T1000, don''t you want to do it now? T800 maintenance is gone, you can''t take advantage of others." The boy simply joked with him.


    Speaking of it, it was a very lucky thing that Robert Patrick was able to enter the crew. Cameron originally planned to find Billy Edol to play this role, and the other party also agreed, but the big hand of the **** of fate seems to be in control In the sky related to the boy, just a few days before the boot, the hapless rock singer had a car accident. He seemed to be in possession of a T1000. He was riding a motorcycle and collided with a truck. It is estimated that at least he would have to lie down on the bed. Months.


    There are many action shots in the filming, and bumps and bumps are hard to escape. The crew originally asked Ryan an action coach before filming, but the other party only gave him two safety courses, using what he said to Cameron. Say, "Ryan is extremely flexible, just like an ape. The actions in the movie are not difficult for him. I think the only thing he has to learn is how to protect himself during filming."


    "Jim, I have been exercising for at least one hour a day since I was five years old. After returning from London to Los Angeles, Nicole and I have professional fitness trainers, so you don''t have to worry about it."


    Ryan only told half of the truth. Although his flexible skills have a lot to do with long-term unremitting exercise, his previous life experience is even more important. For orphans across the ocean, their skills are not flexible, and they just wait and see. Be hungry and be bullied, jumping up and down, sneaking up and down, fighting on the street, all just trivialities.


    Besides, he is not acting in an action drama Kung Fu movie, he can handle it with his skill.


    Although James Cameron has already pointed out the talent for burning money, he is not as crazy as he was later, and when it is time to save, he will definitely not waste it.


    In order to save the cost of hiring extras, many of the roles were guest appearances by people from various departments in the crew, such as himself, as John Connor¡¯s adoptive father, but the image is really horrible.


    "Jim, any child, as long as you have an adoptive father like you, you will definitely become a rebellious kid." Ryan deliberately provoked the thorn, "Look, Mr. Director, the whole crew you killed will accompany you with you NG Thirteen times, you should pay for overtime out of your pocket."


    "Come on, Ryan, you are just dissatisfied with me being your adoptive father." Cameron waved and sat back in the director''s chair.


    When shooting the shots of the T1000 and T800 confrontation in the Santa Moca Commercial Plaza, something even more amazing happened. A Japanese friend of Cameron took a special flight and flew from Tokyo to Los Angeles without any payment. Is to make a cameo in the film.


    He is the guy who was shot to death by T1000 in the corridor when John Connor first encountered T800.


    After entering late December, when the location shooting in California was about to be completed, a large number of reporters and paparazzi came again around the crew.


    James Cameron has a fairly good habit. His crew will always start silently. The same is true of "Terminator 2", but with the exposure of the investment amount, it has caused a heated discussion in the media. However, after being chased for a period of time and unable to dig out any exclusive news, the crew around the crew gradually became quiet.


    Although there will be two or three kittens from time to time, in the past two months, the crew has been peaceful and has not been harassed too much. Of course, this is also the same as that of Anne Hurd. It depends on the shooting situation.


    There were too many reporters here this time, and the disturbing phenomenon had seriously affected the filming of the crew, which made James Cameron very angry. After reprimanding the spokesperson of the crew, he quickly figured it out. The situation.


    "Ryan! Where''s Ryan?"


    "It seems to be resting in a trailer." Someone answered.


    "Go and call him out." Cameron gasped.


    As the shooting progressed, Ryan''s grasp of the role became more and more in place, and the shooting became a lot easier. Even the script of "Terminator 2" was thrown aside by him, except that he would check it before the filming. After reading it, I am now leaning on a high-back chair, drawing the setting draft of "True Lies" with colored pencils.


    "What? Jim was looking for me? I remember there was no shot of me in the morning." Seeing the assistant rushing over, the boy had to put away the sketches and went to the shooting location.


    Just when he got out of the trailer, he heard a mess, like a vegetable market in the early morning. No, it should be 100,000 big green flies flapping their wings at the same time.


    He was already very familiar with this kind of voice, besides reporters and paparazzi, who else would be there.


    "What''s the matter? A lot of reporters came." Ryan muttered and walked to the set.


    "Ryan Jenkins, you''re ashamed to ask me what''s the matter!" Seeing some hot Cameron, the boy felt baffled, "What happened? Jim, who would dare to make you such a big fire? Shouldn''t it be? Linda?"


    "Those reporters and paparazzi are here for you!"


    "Looking for me? Why are you looking for me?" Ryan scratched his head, saying that he had been stabbed by the media for his participation in "Terminator 2". Even if they were to hype, the topic of the topic would have passed away. Now he came to interview him. do what?


    "You ask me, I still ask you."


    In Cameron¡¯s view, this boy is indeed very smart. Except for the first few days, his performance in the filming made people unable to fault, but he can always make people alive when he is angry.


    Ok! He was a little dissatisfied. Those reporters came to his own studio to ask about the news of another movie. Anyone would get angry if they changed it.


    "Ryan, haven''t you read the newspaper recently?" The assistant assigned to him by the crew leaned in at this moment.


    "No I ran with the crew all day, either filming or writing or drawing, where did I get the time to read the newspaper, besides, I don¡¯t want my eyes to look for abuse. I wrote it as a monster."


    "Just today, the North American box office statistics around the release of "Home Alone" have come out. Do you know how many?"


    "Hey, hurry up, don''t sell it, okay?" Ryan gradually understood.


    "It''s more than 150 million U.S. dollars!"


    "One hundred and fifty million, not a lot." The boy scratched his head. He had experienced so many large-scale baptisms in his previous life. Naturally, he would not think that this number is anything extraordinary.


    The people around rolled up their eyes, and had the urge to pull him out and give him a beating. Finally, a deputy director couldn¡¯t help it and stood up and said, ¡°Ryan, I think you know it well. This movie has publicity. It¡¯s only a $18 million investment, and it has only been released for four weeks. Many film critics are very optimistic about the film, believing that it can compete with "Sixth Sense" at the box office."


    "Boy, if nothing else, you would have taken the top two of the North American box office rankings this year." Cameron sighed. Although the other party is not in the same business with him, he feels that the waves of the Yangtze River will push the waves of the front. If you understand Chinese.


    This was originally planned, okay? The boy shrugged. The reason why he chose these two films as his starting point was not because of their powerful influence.


    Although it may not be a good thing for all child stars to impress in childhood, for Ryan, he has a hundred ways to easily transform after the age of sixteen.

 Chapter 35： Push all away

    Actually, it''s no wonder that Ryan didn''t know anything about "Home Alone". You know, for the filming of "Terminator 2", he didn''t even go to the premiere before Thanksgiving, which attracted Carter Eisner. Had a good fight with James Cameron.


    When he learned that the box office on the premiere day was as high as 18 million US dollars, he completely let go of his heart and threw the movie behind his head.


    Besides, despite the film¡¯s success at the box office, the film critics relentlessly criticized him, believing that the film is indeed a wonderful and funny film for all ages, but his screenwriter has lost the sixth "Sense" is sharp and sharp, the new work not only lacks humanistic care, but also does not bring people anything worth thinking about. The sections in it are just for the sake of being funny.


    And, as the lead actor, his performance in acting did not even reflect half of the "Sixth Sense".


    Please! You also know that this is a funny movie for all ages. Isn''t this kind of movie just to make everyone happy during the festival? Thinking? Humanistic care? What it is!


    Ryan really wants to find a place to talk to these film critics who have nothing to do after eating. What''s there to comment on movies like "Home Alone"? Even the first grade elementary school students know that it is possible for a child to defeat two adult thieves? It''s a shame that they dare to yell cheekily.


    There are also those tabloids, in order to stimulate people''s eyeballs and sales, they push his image on a monster infinitely. Moreover, the article suspecting that he has a gunman has never been broken.


    Of course, few people would believe this kind of news. After all, as long as it is not a fool, it is clear that a moneyless orphan would have such a successful gunman or creative team? Don''t be kidding, really think everyone is a zenith star in his work?


    Even if it¡¯s not for your own good heart, you have to consider it for your eyes, right? From the second day of the premiere day, Ryan took the initiative to stay away from newspapers and magazines. Anyway, he can write scripts for entertainment, play the guitar and compose music.


    "Jamie, you took Ryan to meet the reporters and quickly dismissed them." James Cameron looked at the spokesperson of the crew, completely unaware of pushing the boy into the fire pit.


    "Hey, Jim, you can''t do this." Ryan naturally protested.


    "I am a director and producer. I have the final say on all matters of the crew, now! Right now! Go to a live press conference, if you don¡¯t want to NG thirty times for each shot next!" The threat is over, naturally. Lily, "Ryan, as long as you get rid of those pesky guys, I promise you a three-day holiday for Christmas."


    "Three-day vacation? It seems to be very good." The boy followed the spokesperson and several assistants of the crew and walked out of the set, but he didn''t find that the people around him could not hold back a smile.


    Finally, when he walked out of the set, he woke up, that there would have been a three-day holiday for Christmas, OK!


    "Quiet! Quiet! You are so messy, we can''t hear anything!"


    After seeing someone from the crew come out, the flies became louder, and Jamie had to shout loudly.


    Seeing that the Lord is on the opposite side, these guys finally calmed down, and people scattered elsewhere also gathered. Ryan glanced roughly, and there were dozens of reporters.


    "Ryan, is this your look in Terminator 2?" The boy''s temperament and expression are completely different from those in "Sixth Sense" and "Home Alone". If it weren''t for the somewhat familiar face, they would doubt it. Is it someone else.


    "No wonder some film critics said he acted like something!" A reporter whispered to his companion.


    "I only answer questions related to one movie!" The boy gave a sly smile, "It looks like you are here for "Terminator 2"?"


    "Cunning kid!" the reporter murmured, shook his head quickly, and asked, "The box office of "Home Alone" has exceeded 150 million U.S. dollars, and there is still a long time before the next stage, you Do you think he can surpass "Sixth Sense"?"


    "Sorry, I have to ask the audience in the United States this question."


    "Some film critics say that your acting skills have regressed a lot. There is nothing more than funny and cute in Home Alone. What do you think?"


    "Please! Home Alone is a funny movie, OK, I''m not funny in it, do I still have to be as gloomy and lonely as in the sixth sense?" The boy directly rewarded him with the look that you are a fool.


    "It is said that many film companies have taken a fancy to other stories in "Ryan Story Collection" and want to buy them at a high price. Is it true?"


    "Sorry, I haven''t received any invitations or quotations."


    "Ryan, do you still remember me? I''m Mick Taylor from the entertainment version of the Los Angeles Times." A reporter finally squeezed into the front row. The boy looked at it and looked familiar, and then remembered that he had been with him. The reporter who had some contact with Harvey Weinstein.


    "Hello, Mick, long time no see."


    "According to the information I have received, Universal Pictures has offered to your agent to buy the film adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park", can you tell us a bit?"


    Ryan shrugged, "I don''t know, Pat only visits me once every Friday, and then I can hear the news."


    "Then do you intend to sell it?" Mick Taylor asked.


    "Well..." Ryan dragged the tone for a long time, "It''s a secret!"


    After all, the other party was a media that had good relations with him, and he had never attacked him. The boy hooked his finger and whispered when Mick approached, "Of course it depends on the conditions!"


    The following questions have long been beyond the scope of Home Alone, asking about everything, what happened to the next episode of Harry Potter, and whether there are any plans for filming after Terminator 2...


    The most amazing thing is that someone asked about Nicole¡¯s news, saying that she would find him an adoptive father?


    "I''ll say it again, Miss Nicole Kidman is my sister!" Ryan gritted his teeth and emphasized. There are ten million voices in his heart telling him that these ridiculous things must not be allowed to be held by these guys. On the head.


    "Ryan, do you have a girlfriend? Have you ever dated a girl?"


    The boy only glanced at the dog tag of the paparazzi, and under the support of several assistants, he turned around and returned to the set.


    Everyone present glared at the paparazzi. Ryan Jenkins was the hottest topic recently. He finally stood up to answer the question. You idiot used this kind of stupid question to agitate him away and made it clear. It is to be the public enemy of everyone.


    "What do you think of me? The public has the right to know." The paparazzi was still aggrieved.


    "Idiot! Wouldn''t you leave this question to the end?"


    In any case, after this messy interview, although there are still a lot of people around the crew, they are a lot quieter. Besides, whether it is a reporter or a paparazzi, under normal circumstances, they will maintain a tacit understanding with the film crew. When the crew starts filming, they must keep quiet, otherwise they will become the public enemy of all Hollywood film companies.


    "Ryan, this is an invitation for two movies."


    Closing the door of the trailer, Jinsli first handed over two invitations. The boy just glanced at them. He had never heard of "Little Daddy" and "Invincible Little Trick or Treat", and said without hesitation, " What kind of movie are these? Push it."


    "And this, advertising contract."


    Ryan didn¡¯t even answer the connection at all, "Just say I listen."


    "Children''s cough syrup, Pizza Hut pizza, and the endorsement invitation of Espri."


    "I''m very new to this, what do you think? And what is Espri?"


    "Children''s cough syrup is not necessary, Pizza Hut can consider it. Espri wants you to be their children''s clothing spokesperson."


    "What about your suggestion?" The boy looked at the agent.


    "Don''t agree to any one for the time being, and wait until the box office of the head of the little ghost exceeds 200 million." Through the two films, Jinsli has realized the potential of boys beyond writing.


    "No." Ryan shook his finger, "Wait for the Academy of Film to announce the Oscar nominations."


    "Are you so confident?" Jinsli naturally understood what he meant, after all, she and Harvey Weinstein had been running public relations for this.


    "I have confidence in you and Harvey. Of course, I have more confidence in "Sixth Sense"." Ryan smiled brilliantly, "I don''t think it should be a surprise that Nicole and I will each get a nomination. "


    Since the movie in the previous life has been nominated for several Oscars, why not now? Besides, this movie is not inferior to the movie in the previous life, and even slightly better in some respects. The only problem is that the rhythm is a bit slow, but for The Oscar judges said, UU reading would be a problem?


    Which of those literary and artistic films is not slow-paced to death, the people watching it are drowsy, the core group of old men in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, have always loved this mouth, even though "Sixth Sense" is a thriller, but it reflects The family, affection, communication among people, and so on, all come out in line with mainstream American values.


    Besides, this is an ethical thriller, not a science fiction movie.


    "Is the purchase of the adaptation rights also dragging on?" Jinsli asked.


    "Pat, there are many works that are not suitable for the current adaptation. Special effects and post-production technology are a big problem." Ryan tapped his finger, "What conditions did Universal offer?"


    "You can act as a screenwriter yourself, two million dollars plus two percent of the North American box office share."


    "I pushed it."


    Although I don¡¯t know how much money the person in the previous life sold, Ryan refused without even thinking about it. After all, this is a big gold mine. "Pat, before 1992, no matter who, it¡¯s all rejected."


    How to maximize the benefits and unite his team is a question he has been considering all the time. If he just wants to be a rich man, he can write the Harry Potter series and then eat and die.


    But this life is not a past life after all. The past life was muddled for half a lifetime, and finally ended up alone. Since he has come to Hollywood in this life, he must leave his own star in the most conspicuous position on the Avenue of Fame.

 Chapter 36： New Mexico

    Although it has created classic animated images such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, before entering the 1980s, Walt Disney was not considered a top Hollywood film production company. After entering 80 years, Michael Eisner Became the head of this animation giant.


    It was during his tenure that Disney became one of the seven major Hollywood film companies and a large media group with a market value of tens of billions of dollars.


    Of course, he is like all people in power, nepotism and constant self-inflation.


    However, not long after entering 1991, even if Michael Eisner is nepotism, he uses people with considerable ability, such as his nephew Carter Eisner.


    "Carter, you are doing a great job!" Sitting behind the desk, Michael Eisner looked at his nephew, "He is bold and decisive. Don''t hesitate when you should make a move. Keep going."


    To be honest, he did not expect that Carter not only quickly gained a foothold at the touchstone, but also achieved such outstanding results. Although everyone thought Ryan Jenkins was a super genius, many people thought that the Sixth Sense "Achieving success, there is a certain chance. Except Miramax, everyone else is watching. Who knows that my nephew, who has been questioned by others, took the lead and cooperated with him. As for the result, look. Just watch the box office of "Home Alone".


    In this way, not only has the doubts disappeared completely, but he has completely stabilized his position. Even Disney''s board of directors is considering whether to increase Carter''s rights in live-action film production.


    Even though Carter Eisner was proud, he still humbled a few words in front of his uncle who was transforming into a tyrant. Besides, he knew very well that he was arguing against the crowd and confirmed the project of "Home Alone", but there was no It''s hard to say what the result will happen to that boy.


    He still remembers what Director Columbus said after the movie was released, "Without Ryan, this movie would be at least half of its color! He is a genius. You can''t see a trace of "Sixth Sense" from Kevin."


    "Carter, have a good relationship with Ryan Jenkins." When he was about to leave the office, Michael Eisner exhorted a few more words, "We don''t want to get all of his works, but we must let him When I came up with a new idea, the first thing that came to my mind was Disney!"


    Back in the office at Touchstone Pictures, Carter Eisner sat in the boss chair, thinking of the experience since the movie was released, like a dream.


    The total investment of US$18 million has now been exchanged for nearly US$250 million in the box office, and there is still some time before the film is down. If you are lucky enough, you can surpass the "Sixth Sense" and become the annual Box office champion.


    You must know that this is only the North American box office. Since the film¡¯s launch in Europe and the Far East in December last year, the box office has also been soaring. He has no doubt that the number of overseas box office will not be much less than that of North America.


    Even if the final remuneration paid to Ryan Jenkins will definitely exceed 8 million US dollars, no one will deny that this is an extremely cost-effective business. Only the current net profit is almost equal to the sum of the profits of other Disney movies last year. The other big giants have long seen red eyes.


    Hollywood is such a big thing. It¡¯s hard to hide any troubles from the insiders. He has heard that major film companies are eyeing Ryan Jenkins¡¯s other works and are lobbying him and the two closest people around him.


    Thinking of this, Carter not only admired Harvey Weinstein''s eyes, but frankly speaking, he was just picking up people''s teeth, at best, he was a little more bold than others.


    But Harvey Weinstein is different, thinking that when the boy returned to Los Angeles from London, he was just an unknown person. Even though his work had already entered the bestseller list in the United States, no one knew that he was the author. Under the circumstances, Weinstein resolutely believed in his whimsical imagination, purchased the script of "Sixth Sense", and insisted that he and his guardians act in person, so Miramax received a huge reward, and then Has gained its status in Hollywood today.


    Some people might say that Miramax discovered Ryan Jenkins, but in his opinion, the situation is just the opposite. It was Ryan Jenkins who made Miramax today. You know, "Sixth Sense" The original script has been circulated in Hollywood for a long time. As long as you are not a fool, you will definitely buy this excellent script.


    Besides, Ryan Jenkins just needs to stand in front of the stage as a young writer, will the problems that bother newcomers still be problems?


    Carter Eisner sighed, but he was actually jealous too, looking at Miramax jealous.


    Obviously, Ryan Jenkins is a nostalgic person, and gave the third work to Miramax. This movie starring Nicole Kidman will be released on Valentine''s Day. If the box office of this movie is again Over 100 million, that will establish his position in the screenwriting industry.


    It¡¯s not just that. How much did Miramax get in a movie called "Sixth Sense"? It is said that the overseas box office is infinitely close to 200 million U.S. dollars, and more than 30 million video tapes have been sold in North America!


    Oh, God! As long as he thinks of these data, he can''t wait for time to go back to two years ago, even if he swims across the Atlantic, he will go to London to sign Ryan Jenkins to Disney.


    Do not! It is to sign to his own banner and let himself become his agent. Just look at the woman Pai Jinsili. Because of him, she has become one of Hollywood''s hottest agents.


    Still want to be practical! Carter opened a report, which is a summary of an authoritative organization''s survey of major Hollywood film companies last year, and in a sense is also an important reference for the company''s investment and management.


    After flipping a few pages, he couldn''t sit down anymore. After taking the information of Ryan Jenkins and reading it over and over again, the boy has now become the focus of the media, no less than any Hollywood first-line star, and his whereabouts are even better. Is the top priority of paparazzi attention.


    Of course, the touchstone has always been in close contact with Pie Kingsley, knowing that he went to New Mexico with the crew of "Terminator 2", and it is said that he suffered a lot when shooting action scenes.


    A few days ago, he and Nicole Kidman talked at a reception. I remembered that she mentioned that she was going to visit New Mexico recently. This was an opportunity. After all, the relationship is drawn out. How can I make a relationship without meeting?


    As for reasons and excuses, there will always be some, right?


    ¡­¡­


    On a section of the wasteland highway in New Mexico, several kilometers of lights lit up a small part of the night sky. A huge crew of hundreds of people was busy. James Cameron stood on a temporary high platform and used a loudspeaker. Continuously direct the deployment of various departments.


    In the trailer serving as the dressing room, Ryan leaned against the door and watched the makeup artist smear Schwarzenegger''s face. He couldn''t help but laughed, "Arnold, you look like a moldy potato!"


    "Potatoes?" Schwarzenegger looked straight, "Have you seen me such a strong potato?"


    "Well, Ryan, don''t mess around here, as if it can''t be done on time, James should get angry again." The makeup artist gave a pleased smile.


    "Okay, I''ll go out first." The boy shrugged, walked out of the trailer, looked at the long lights outside, and couldn''t see his head.


    What I wanted to film here was the highway chase at the end of the film. The original plan of the crew was to rent a highway from Los Angeles to Long Beach, and the state government agreed.


    But the change is always faster than planned. After the New Year, the California state government overturned the previous agreement. The crew had no choice but to move the location to New Mexico and filmed on a section of the desert highway.


    It¡¯s rare that James Cameron didn¡¯t get angry, but if you think about the nearly half the cost and the unlimited road closure time at night, you can actually understand it.


    This climax scene is definitely big-handed. Not only were cars and helicopters mobilized and more than 800 people participated in the filming, but also because of the night scene shooting, the prop team pulled more than 10 kilometers of cables to illuminate the road. .


    Big scenes deployment is not an easy task. I watched so many movies in my previous life. In Ryan''s eyes, James Cameron, Stephen Spielberg and Fat New Zealand are undoubtedly the ones who have the strongest control over the big scenes.


    "Wow!"


    Ryan pulled the bolt of the M16. This prop gun looks no different from the real gun in appearance, but it''s a lot lighter. In the next shot, Linda will use it to shoot against the T1000.


    "The 32nd scene, the 56th scene Start!"


    Sarah Connor hid behind the door of the box-style police car, and engaged in a fierce gun battle with the T1000, the police car shook violently.


    seems a little crazy, but in fact it just stays in place. The explosion of fire on the scene is just a small fireball. The dazzling effects in those movies are almost all added in post-production.


    In this group of shots, Ryan is completely beating soy sauce. He shrinks in the corner of the box-style police car, with two Kevlar body armors in his retracted hands to prevent them from slipping off his body.


    This kind of action scenes, although there are adequate protective measures, accidents always happen inadvertently.


    Linda Hamilton shot out from behind the car door and shot with too much force. She accidentally fell out of the car and knocked her knees on the car door, making a "boom."


    Ryan was the closest to her. He jumped up and jumped out of the carriage. He saw cold sweat on the painful face of the female man, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.


    "Doctor! Come here, someone is injured!" The boy shouted to the crew.


    Several people, including Cameron, rushed over in an instant. The doctor assigned by the crew quickly checked Linda, and he was relieved, "It shouldn''t hurt any bones."


    "Take a rest for half an hour!"


    James Cameron yelled aloud, and then leaned over to Linda, who looked like a good lover.


    First one~collection~ticket~what~

 Chapter 37： Bonfire party

    Twenty minutes passed in a blink of an eye. Although Linda stood up, she still had some inconvenience during the action. Cameron continued to comfort her in front of her, making people know that the relationship between the two must be unusual.


    In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that as the filming progresses, the two people clearly see the right eye. Their relationship is also a semi-open secret in the crew.


    Ryan roughly remembers that James Cameron seems to have not divorced yet, and his current wife is the female director of the bomb disposal unit in the previous life.


    Recalling the appearance of that person, Ryan suddenly had a chill, Cameron''s taste was really extraordinary, and he had a good impression of strong women, like Catherine Browg, so did Linda Hamilton, um... And that fat temperature.


    Of course, the people in the crew will not talk too much. This situation is normal in Hollywood. If you get together, you will break up. Although Cameron is a playboy, he is better than those who don¡¯t even let his own adopted daughter pass and molest girls. The director who fled to France later became more than a hundred times stronger.


    Seeing Linda Hamilton, it was impossible to shoot again in a short time, and Cameron quickly changed the shooting plan.


    The crew moved a few kilometers forward and came near a bridge on the highway. The temporarily rented police helicopter was parked on the road. There was no footage of Ryan here. He came a little later than the others.


    "This is too dangerous!" Cameron seemed to be arguing with others.


    "No! No!" The aerobatic pilot who flew the helicopter instead of Mr. T1000 seemed to have a different opinion, "I can definitely fly there without any accidents."


    "What''s the matter?" Ryan asked a staff member casually, seeing someone arguing with Cameron on the set, which seemed weird to the boy.


    "In this scene, the script shows a helicopter flying under the bridge hole, but James thinks it is too dangerous. If he wants to change to flying over the bridge, the gentleman thinks it is unnecessary. He can do it with his technology!"


    Ryan immediately understood what was going on. After all, he had watched the movie more than once, and this shot quickly appeared in his mind. I have to say that this stunt pilot is too crazy. You must know that this bridge hole is not high. Once it appears Accidents are likely to lead to plane destruction and death.


    The strong wind and sand blown by the propellers can hardly open their eyes, but no one dodges them. Everyone has their eyes wide open, wanting to witness this crazy scene.


    The police helicopter rose to a low altitude. After circling twice, it entered the camera''s lens range. Without any hesitation, it went under the bridge hole.


    When the helicopter flew thrillingly under the bridge hole, the scene burst into enthusiastic applause. Many people threw their baseball caps into the sky. Cameron personally took charge of the camera and was full of praise for the shots. There is no doubt about it. , After post-production processing, this will become one of the classic shots of the movie.


    Even if he was two lives, after witnessing such a dangerous aerobatic flight on the spot, Ryan was shocked from ear to ear. When the pilot stepped off the helicopter and threw his fist excitedly, he vaguely understood why there were so many people. Like to challenge the limit, what they want is not the result, but the feeling, the thrilling excitement and the excitement of success.


    "What a lunatic!" The assistant beside him gave such an evaluation after yelling in excitement.


    The subsequent shooting went surprisingly smoothly. Whether it was a car collision or a helicopter blow-up¡ªof course, it was all models¡ªmost of the shots were often taken at one time. There were a few literary dramas, and Ryan also performed well, until the crew ended. At that time, it turned out to be a lot faster than the original plan.


    This section of highway is far away from the city, and the surrounding area is either a wasteland or a desert. The crew waits for food and accommodation in the trailer. Although Ryan has his own trailer, it will inevitably feel awkward after living for a long time, especially when the wind is shooting. The whole person will become a mud monkey.


    When another weekend arrived, Nicole came to visit the class from Los Angeles, but there was a man who was accompanied by Jinsli and Nicole¡¯s assistant.


    "Carter, why are you here?" Ryan looked at the vice president of Touchstone Pictures, somewhat strange.


    "I heard that Nicole was coming to visit the class, so I came here together. Also, it was just to deliver the check to you." Carter Eisner took out an envelope and handed it to him, "Why? Not welcome? "


    "Of course not." The boy looked at the sunset in the west, and took them into his trailer. "Just give Pat the check. I''m sorry if you run so far."


    Ryan couldn''t guess what he meant, and didn''t say much, so he went into the trailer and handed each person a box of juice. "The conditions are limited, only juice is available."


    "Honey, you are tanned." Nicole squeezed his cheek affectionately.


    "Nicole, don''t you think I was too pale before? It looks healthier." Ryan was relieved.


    Opened the envelope, he glanced at the number and handed it directly to Jin Sili. Now the "Home Alone" has not been released yet, he did not expect that Touchstone Pictures had already started the red envelope delivery.


    Most of the time, Ryan was whispering to Nicole, talking about the anecdotes in the crew, the situation during the filming, complaining about the wind and sand in New Mexico, and then asked her some "Night Sleep in Seattle" "Case.


    "The trailer for the first version of the movie has been released. It was originally scheduled to be released on Valentine''s Day. Harvey asked me to invite you to the premiere." Nicole said with a smile.


    "It is unlikely that James will not let me leave the crew." Ryan shrugged, "The post-production of the film is complete? Have you seen the samples?"


    "I have seen part of it, and I feel pretty good."


    is probably on the weekend. After night fell, the people who stayed behind in the crew lit up dozens of bonfires in the open space surrounded by the trailer.


    Party is an important part of American life, and Nicole¡¯s come true that attracted the attention of the crew, and these guys quickly sent representatives to invite them to the campfire party.


    "Ryan, I invited Miss Kidman. If you don''t want to participate, we won''t mind." Robert Patrick joked.


    "Come on, don''t think I don''t know what you are thinking." Ryan shook his fist vigorously, like a little lion defending his territory. "Robert, you go and tell those guys if they are not afraid of being planted by me. If you go to the desert to make a human cactus, let the horse come here."


    Ryan and Nicole will naturally not refuse this invitation. As he enters Hollywood, communication is a compulsory course. Americans do pay more attention to practical interests, but the relationship within the rules can sometimes be unexpected. The role of.


    Just like the other side of the ocean, each place has its own small circle, and in the crew, if it is not for prominent contradictions and other purposes, the main cast and crew will gather in one place.


    "Mr. Eisner, is Disney also interested in Terminator?" Anne Hurd asked, looking at the four people sitting down.


    "It''s nothing, I just came to Ryan to talk about something." Carter replied lightly.


    "Okay, let''s not talk about work matters anymore, let me show you something."


    Ryan rolled up his sleeves, picked up the dressed beef, and prepared to show off his cooking skills.


    "Hey, Ryan." Arnold Schwarzenegger curled his lips. "Who is the meat you grilled for? I declare first that Weiss has not recovered yet. If you eat your barbecue again, it is likely to have Life is in danger!"


    Weiss is a shepherd dog used by the crew to patrol the night.


    "That...this..." Ryan murmured for a while, and found that everyone around him had automatically moved away from him, including Nicole. He couldn''t help but sigh, is my craft so bad?


    "Forget it, Ryan." Nicole pulled him to her side, "I''ll do it."


    With barbecue, beer is naturally not enough. Whether Nicole or Jinsli, the amount of alcohol is quite good, and Ryan is not an adult. According to the law, he cannot drink in public. Of course, this law is like New York cannot be in ten. After o''clock, wearing slippers is like a decoration.


    "Ryan, do you want a can?"


    "Sorry, Mr. Casa, Ryan can''t touch alcohol." Nicole refused for the boy without hesitation. "He has a very serious allergy to alcohol. I think this is stated in the contract with the crew."


    Everyone looked at each other. In the eyes of these entertainment people, a life without alcohol is a miserable life.


    As early as in London, the family doctor solemnly warned Nicole that if he didn''t want to endanger Ryan''s life, he had better not touch alcohol for the rest of his life.


    Since then, whether it is a villa in London or an apartment in Los Angeles, Nicole has never brought any bottle of wine to her home, even if she is a wine lover.


    Whatever you gain, you pay. Perhaps the relationship of the previous life, or the mighty man who made him rebirth deliberately tricked him. While giving Ryan his outstanding artistic talent, he deprived him of a lot of power, which he has discovered. , Including poor cooking skills and alcohol allergies.


    This is just a discovery. As for whether there are other defects in this life, I can only ask God.


    "Ryan, what else do you want to eat?" Put the roasted beef into the tray, Nicole took a few more bunches of vegetables, Ryan carefully tasted the barbecue on the plate, "Nicole, your craft It''s getting better and better!"


    "Their feelings are really good."


    Looking at the siblings who only see each other in their eyes, the others can''t help but sigh.


    "My sister and brother are just like that." Linda remembered the twin sister who had come to guest.


    In fact, all parties are the same, even if it¡¯s this kind of bonfire party, talk to each other on topics of interest, get closer, discuss some gossip and gossip and gossip in the circle, and sometimes have a little debate on certain topics. But even if there is a contradiction with each other, they will just taste it, and no one will be stupid enough to show their bad side before others.

 Chapter 38： Bonfire Party II

    Almost all people around the bonfire are people in the movie circle, and the topic soon turned to the movie aspect, especially the future development trend of the movie.


    "There is no doubt that in the future, special effects and post-production will account for more and more commercial movies. The investment of 100 million US dollars in "Terminator 2" is very high, but I believe that it will not be long before this The number will be surpassed." James Cameron finished speaking and drank a swig of beer.


    "It will definitely be surpassed!" Ryan nodded in agreement, and then said, "But that person''s name will still be James Cameron."


    The people around him laughed at the same time, and Cameron didn¡¯t care. ¡°For the director, that¡¯s a great honor.¡±


    "It''s a huge pressure for investment companies." Ryan seems to be habitually confronting him, "Jim, trust me, one day you will force investors to jump off the building."


    Next, the topic began to shift to the technical aspects of the film. The ladies were obviously laymen, and they simply got together to discuss the topic of fashion.


    Benefiting from the career of a film projectionist in the past life and the benefits of the information explosion, although Ryan is completely a layman in terms of professionalism, some of the views raised from time to time will always attract the attention of others, especially the views on film technology. , And the tech madman Cameron often coincides.


    "I commissioned Industrial Light and Magic to do the beginning of the movie with CG technology. Although it is not finished yet, the effect will definitely surprise everyone." The great director is also a human, and it is inevitable to start showing off after drinking, "You know, That CG scene of less than three minutes spent 7.5 million US dollars, and it is completely possible to remake a "Terminator 1"."


    Mario Casa on the other side almost hid his face and wept. The money burned on special effects made his heart bleed.


    "Jim, haven''t you thought about making a movie to hit the Oscars?" Anyway, Schwarzenegger changed the subject altogether because of small talk.


    "You become the leading actor, and then you go to the throne of the actor?" Cameron was obviously teasing.


    "Do you think this is possible?" Schwarzenegger asked rhetorically. In fact, he knew very well that the best actor, Little Golden Man, would never have to think about it in his life.


    "Then do you think the film academy will award the best director to a director who can only make commercial films?" Cameron curled his lips in disdain, "Would you suggest me to shoot those drowsy literary arts? Film?"


    "No, no, Jim." Ryan took the conversation suddenly, "I think it''s entirely possible."


    "Come on, Ryan, I admit that you have some unique opinions on film, but do you understand the taste and standards of the film school?" Cameron waved his hand disdainfully.


    "Of course!" Ryan glared at him altogether, "For example, if you continue to make science fiction films, you will not be seen by film academies like George Lucas, but what about making real-life commercial films?"


    Before he could answer, Ryan continued, "Yes, the old men of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are indeed both stubborn and conservative, clinging to the so-called art signs, but this does not mean that they will not bow to business. , Think about it, when a commercial blockbuster adapted from real events has earned more than one billion dollars, or even two billion dollars in box office, will the film academy continue to ignore it? Do you dare to continue to ignore it?"


    "God! Do you think I can make a movie with a box office of more than one billion or even two billion dollars?" Cameron smiled and shook his head.


    Ryan shrugged and closed his mouth altogether. Anyway, everyone just treated him as a child, just joking.


    The sonorous and powerful music sounded, and those who were drunk, played dance music, and many people gathered in a clearing and danced.


    Alcohol and courage, coupled with the fact that there are too many men and few women in the crew, there are naturally many people who cheefully come over to talk to Nicole, but under the influence of Ryan, Nicole is not interested in heavy metal music. What''s more, she has a character in it. There are a lot of cold and arrogant people, even though they are polite on the surface, but refuse to get up, they are not polite.


    Ryan dug his ears. To tell the truth, these fast-paced heavy metal dance music are closer to noise in his ears. What''s even more disintegrating is that a certain person in the crew who drank high also used the spirit of alcohol. It roared, if it is not close to the city, the wolf will be recruited if not sure, the she-wolf will come!


    "Nicole, let''s go back." He really didn''t want to let his ears receive the poison anymore.


    "You don''t like it?" Schwarzenegger leaned over.


    "Don''t you think it''s too noisy?" Ryan took Nicole''s hand and shrugged.


    "By the way, I remember you often played the guitar. Would you like to show us some?" Sitting next to Nicole was Linda Hamilton, and she immediately remembered that boys often played with the guitar in their hands.


    "Quiet! Quiet!"


    Schwarzenegger¡¯s voice was full of anger and even suppressed the music. He did not seek Ryan¡¯s advice. After the music stopped, he said straightforwardly, ¡°Ryan is going to perform a guitar solo for us!¡±


    I didn¡¯t agree, okay! Ryan curled his lips and wanted to refuse. Suddenly he remembered the song he had re-arranged and changed the lyrics. Since it was for Nicole, why couldn''t he sing it in front of so many people?


    Nicole¡¯s female assistant quickly ran to the boy¡¯s trailer and took his acoustic guitar. When the guitar case was opened and the guitar was taken out, someone in the field exclaimed, ¡°Taylor¡¯s handmade rosewood guitar , Seventy thousand dollars! Ryan is indeed a rich man!"


    Ryan didn''t use the pick, habitually tried the tone, looked at Nicole, and when her eyes fell on him, he said, "Becausa.of.you, dedicated to Nicole? Miss Deman!"


    The beautiful guitar sound rang. Although this piece is not very suitable for acoustic guitar, under Ryan''s exquisite technique, the tune is less poignant and more sentimental.


    "I will not make the mistakes I have made before, and I will not let my heart be filled with pain again...


    Because of you, I learned to stay in a safe place and not be harmed. Because of you, I try to believe in others and live in peace with those around me. Because of you, I have something to do with my heart! "


    Ryan hasn''t changed his voice yet, and there is inevitably some immature in the singing. Compared with the original version, his singing is not strong enough, but more high-pitched. Some versions are close to the British boy''s version. Of course, they are different from both, because He added his own feelings to it.


    The lyrics have been modified in many places. For example, in the end, I felt scared and became my heart. The meaning of the lyrics is more like the changes he brought in his life after meeting Nicole, and I was afraid that one day she would Leave him.


    What remains unchanged is the transmission of emotion, the shocking accusation, the resonance of all people who know or don''t know music.


    Looking at Ryan who closed his eyes and sang, how could Nicole not hear what he wanted to express. Although this song resonated strongly with her, she didn''t like it.


    Because of this sad song, she reminded her of his past, returned to their meeting on the Avenue of Stars, and foreseen the future...separation!


    She was suddenly a little irritable. I don''t know why, she wanted to stop Ryan from continuing to sing, but she endured it, and when his singing stopped, she smiled and clapped.


    I have to say that her acting skills are indeed very good in this life, and even Ryan, who is very familiar with her, has not noticed anything unusual.


    An excellent song always has the power to move people''s hearts. Even if the song is so unfamiliar, it does not prevent them from having a unique taste in the music.


    At the end of the song, the loud applause seemed to overturn the sky, Ryan pulled the corners of his mouth proudly, and James Cameron, who always likes to make things difficult for him, suddenly shouted, "Hey, Ryan, come again. One!"


    "Yeah, Ryan, here''s one more." The roaring voices came one after another, which was very meaning to knock down a dog.


    Ryan can¡¯t help being a little crazy. He has written a lot of songs, but most of them are fragments, and he feels that the voice change period is still far away, and he is too lazy to organize them. The most memorable English songs are almost all representative works of female singers.


    Like most people, young men and women tend to pay more attention to singers of the opposite sex. What''s more, compared with movies, he has entered the new century for several years when he paid attention to English singing in his previous life.


    Is it the first boy version of "Super Complex"? It is estimated to be beaten to death by fans of yeast.


    Forget it, let¡¯s come to the original song. Although I haven¡¯t finished writing it, I¡¯ll sing it wherever I go, and save these guys who are afraid of the world from chaos.


    The acoustic guitar sounded again, and the festival was much brighter. Although it has a lot of country music style, it is undoubtedly closer to popular. Ryan''s singing is full of inspirational flavor.


    "Life is like climbing. The road ahead is always full of obstacles, people who never give up. UU Reading ran forward with their heads high until they reached the highest and most beautiful place..."


    This is a song with a completely different style from the previous one, but it¡¯s the same beautifully. There are many music lovers in the crew, but they have never heard of these two songs. Moreover, although the boy hasn¡¯t gotten rid of the childish voice, his singing looks a little bit. Defects, but the song is deduced from his mouth, but it has a special flavor.


    Just as everyone was intoxicated in the song, when Ryan sang the chorus, the tune suddenly became messy, and the guitar sound lost its previous pleasantness and began to develop into chaos.


    sighed in secret, Ryan had to stop, facing the puzzled gaze that came over, he scratched his head and explained, "The song and lyrics are not finished yet, it can only be like this."


    What is the song and lyrics are not finished yet? Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and then some quick-reacting people woke up.


    Arnold Schwarzenegger''s mouth twitched, "Ryan, don''t you tell me, you wrote these two songs?"


    "Actually... it is exactly like this." Ryan handed the acoustic guitar to Nicole and shook his wrist vigorously. He changed the words and re-arranged the previous song, but the latter song was completely finished. It''s all original, he is more confident than ever.


    The people around who heard his voice showed surprise eyes almost at the same time, looking at him as if they were watching a Martian.


    They wanted to ask, "Ryan, what else do you have?"


    The book is officially signed, the cover is a problem, and I am going to make it myself. Two shifts a day will resume from tomorrow~~Thank you for your support! Collection and ticket to point~~

 Chapter 39： Bacon Omelette

    The next day there was a shooting mission. Under the eyes of the tyrant of the crew, the party did not last long. It ended at about ten o''clock. Looking at the brother and sister, Carter Ace, who left hand in hand. Na''s eyes flickered back to the trailer.


    This is a residence specially prepared by the crew for those who come to visit the class. How to say he is also a middle-level senior of Disney. The crew did not treat him badly, and prepared a separate luxury trailer residence for him.


    After a simple scrubbing, leaning on the bedside, Carter Eisner remembered the scene at the campfire party. Strictly speaking, he was a layman for music, but even so, he could see that Rui En? Jenkins has a very high level of musical literacy, and even a layman like him can hear the sound of those two songs.


    Yes, his singing voice is immature, but boys and girls are different. After the transition period, their voices will change significantly, not to mention that he will write lyrics and music by himself!


    What else do you have? Carter Eisner wanted to ask the boy all night, he kept giving people surprises and hitting people''s nerves, is he having God''s blessing? Or have you embraced Satan?


    Actually, it''s no wonder that he is so caring. Disney has not only a film subsidiary, but also a record subsidiary!


    The Hollywood Record Company was officially established on January 1st last year. In the pop music industry, it is not even a starting point. The few singers signed are even less famous. Although it is working with Disney TV to restore the Mickey Mouse Club, but Only God knows whether this unreliable plan can succeed.


    There is no doubt that the record company wants to open the situation and needs a heavyweight figure. In his eyes, Ryan Jenkins is very suitable. He can compose and write lyrics. Although his singing skills are insufficient, his interpretation of two styles of songs But he was at ease. Besides, after "Home Alone", he has never doubted his talent!


    He even suspects that the boy¡¯s artistic talents and abilities far exceed everyone¡¯s estimates. He can see that Nicole Kidman and Pie Kingsley were not surprised at the party. Obviously, the other party has shown these things in their daily lives.


    Of course, he may have overestimated the other''s talent in music, but if things are really as he imagined, the benefits are self-evident.


    You must know that the position of a touchstone executive is far from satisfying him. He has to enter the senior management of the group company like his uncle Michael Eisner and seek greater development, and now is undoubtedly a good opportunity.


    ¡­¡­


    New Mexico is far warmer than California. Even in January, I didn¡¯t feel any chill. After finishing a long shot, Ryan happily walked to a table with a lot of piles on it. There is no shortage of weapons from the AK series to the M series automatic rifles.


    What attracted his attention most was the Gatling gun. This is not a prop, but a real guy. Unfortunately, there are no bullets, and given his age, the prop master guards him strictly, even if he encounters it. Let him touch.


    "Hey, Stu, you are too stingy, I just look at it, there are no bullets on it!" Ryan complained.


    "Ryan, James said that real firearms are strictly forbidden for you. You don''t want the crew to be sued by the Children''s Association?" The prop master stopped him directly.


    "Ok."


    Ryan can only shrug his shoulders. Although the United States is a country with a flood of guns and there are endless shooting incidents on campuses, there are strict regulations on minors'' access to firearms. It is forbidden in private. If it is a public place, it will be a big trouble.


    He walked to the prop gun, picked up an M9 pistol, learned the way it was on TV, and turned around in a cool manner, causing Nicole, who came from the other side, to laugh.


    "Ryan, are you interested in guns?" Nicole asked.


    "It''s okay, after all, every boy has a gun dream!" He picked up a handful of old-fashioned Colt, "Nicole, do you want to try it."


    "Forget it." Nicole looked at Cameron who was roaring with emotion, "Does James usually look like this?"


    "It''s more fierce than that." Ryan stared and opened his mouth, with a vicious grimace. "He usually looks like this when he trains people. Don''t worry. Every time he trains me, I will find a way to get it back. Come."


    Carter? Eisner and Pie? Jinsli said something at this time, and walked over. After seeing Ryan and Nicole, she stopped the little argument.


    "Ryan, did you really create those two songs last night? Don''t get me wrong, I have no other meaning, just want to confirm." Carter touched his nose, as if he was a little embarrassed about his abrupt question.


    "It was created by me, but you should have heard it. The latter can only be regarded as half of the song." Ryan admitted straightforwardly. Otherwise, where to find the author of that song, it seems that she is still a little loli.


    "That''s great!" Carter hammered his palm, "Ryan, I want to ask, have you studied music systematically? I think you have a lot of experience with guitar."


    "When I was in the orphanage, I learned guitar and violin from students in the Art Institute." Carter was slightly disappointed when he heard Ryan''s words, but the boy''s next words refreshed him, "In the two years in London, Nicole has hired many private music teachers for me, some of whom are masters of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. I have also studied with other people in the Philharmonic Orchestra for a while, but after returning to Los Angeles, I was practicing. "


    "Do you know any other instruments besides the guitar?" Carter has a sort of breaking the casserole spirit.


    "Piano and violin are okay, the others can only be used for hands-on." Ryan gradually realized that these people have too sensitive sense of smell, right? In fact, he also understands that the unfinished song is fine, but "because of you" is indeed very attractive.


    Strictly speaking, this kind of song cannot be written by a child, but the memory of his orphanage can be pulled out at any time. Besides, he also stated clearly that this is a song dedicated to Nicole.


    Besides, since those unscrupulous media describe him as a monster, they should be more optimistic about the monster. Is it possible that the federal government will really arrest him for sliced ??research in the National Academy of Sciences? If this is the case, Einstein didn''t know how many times he had been cut.


    Okay, maybe it will be sliced ??after death, but since he is dead, I care about it!


    "Ryan, you are distracted." Nicole gently pinched his ear.


    "Sorry." Ryan looked at Carter who had obviously just finished speaking. "Can you say it again? I''m lost."


    "It''s okay." It''s not the first time I have encountered this situation, and Carter is not surprised, "Ryan, do you like music? Have you ever thought of making a record? Disney has a Hollywood record company. If you can, return Can you go there after you arrive in Los Angeles?"


    "This." Ryan scratched his head and glanced at Nicole again. The other party gave him a look of his own decision, and had to shirk temporarily, "You should know that I haven''t changed my voice yet, so I don''t have any plans in this aspect yet. ."


    "None of this is a problem." Carter shook his hand. "We will provide some necessary guidance during the change of voice. You should know that if you don''t pay attention during this period, you will hurt your vocal cords."


    "Let''s talk about it when I return to Los Angeles, after all, I can''t get out of it now." After thinking about it, Ryan neither agreed nor refused.


    "All right." Carter looked at the busy set. He also knew that it was impossible for the boy to make a decision right away, otherwise James Cameron would definitely blast him away, "Ryan, if you want to play music In terms of development, please give priority to us? Although the Hollywood record company has just started and cannot compare with the five major record companies, it also has its own advantages."


    "That''s okay. After all, we worked together very happily in House Alone." Ryan saw the assistant approaching him and understood that he was about to be shot, "I''m going to shoot, Nicole, I think at noon Eat your bacon omelette."


    Carter Eisner took a deep breath. Although he did not get a reply from the other party, it is good news that he did not refuse, indicating that he does have a good impression of Disney. Now Hollywood is staring at his works and acting skills. There is not much in this regard. People know that I can be considered as a first mover But so many people heard his singing last night, who knows if it will be sent out, I have to hurry up.


    It seems that after I go back, I am going to see the tyrant uncle again.


    The filming of the set is still going on in full swing. Nicole borrowed the crew¡¯s kitchen and made bacon omelets with her own hands. Jinsli, who was standing on the other side, didn¡¯t know what to say.


    Just because of Ryan¡¯s words, Nicole drove to a small town not too close to buy special bacon, and the boy¡¯s favorite mountain eggs. Originally, she persuaded her to use the food provided by the crew. Now, who knows Nicole? Kidman made her speechless with a word.


    "I need the freshest bacon and eggs. Ryan doesn''t like olive oil. Pat, haven''t you seen him? He has lost a lot. It must be because the crew''s food is not appetizing."


    Damn it! Pie? Jinsli really wanted to cover her forehead. Ryan was indeed darker, but she was thinner. She was clearly stronger than when they came last time.


    Having been with the two for so long, how could she be a talkative friend, Jinsli looked at the busy Nicole and decided to remind this smart Australian woman, "Nicole, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a bit too fond of Rui? Huh? This is how he grows..."


    "Pat, I know what you''re worried about." Nicole smiled, but didn''t stop the work at hand, "We have been here in the past few years. I don''t think there is anything wrong with it. Look at Ryan. Both mentally and physically, they are growing up healthily, aren''t they?"


    Thank you Muku SAMA for your reward, it¡¯s been a week since I published the book, tears are running~

 Chapter 40： Oscar nominations

    After entering February, the crew moved to Nevada. As the filming progress far exceeded the plan, Cameron adjusted the crew. Ryan got a two-week vacation, and it was full for him to return. The school of strangeness.


    For Ryan, the school can be said to be both happy and troublesome. I am delighted that there is such a star student in the school, who can start the signboard and get more students. For headaches, he always asks for leave. It can be as short as a few weeks and as long as several months. Fortunately, His grades have been good, and his guardian is also generous. So far, the school has received two sponsorships worth 100,000 U.S. dollars.


    Sitting in the classroom, Ryan rarely did not write or draw. He seemed to be attending the class seriously, but in fact he was already wandering away.


    "Home Alone" gradually withdrew from North American theaters and won more than 280 million US dollars in the North American box office. Although Disney has done a lot of work in private, it is almost impossible for this film to surpass "Sixth Sense". However, The second place in the box office rankings must be firmly secured.


    After entering the New Year, a new awards season kicked off. "Sixth Sense" received a lot of nominations and awards, especially for himself, who won the best in the Chicago Film Critics Association and the Golden Globe Awards. Nominated for a supporting actor, and even the Young Star Award gave him a big hat as the best young actor.


    Of course, he didn''t attend all these awards, and Jinsli did all the work, otherwise he would have to be exhausted.


    Frankly speaking, except for the Oscars, he doesn''t pay attention to the other awards, even the Golden Globes.


    Although in North America, the Golden Globe is the only film award for the Oscars, it has been criticized and shamed. He doesn''t want to mix it up. Besides, Pie Kingsley and Harvey Weinstein almost All my energy was put on Oscar''s public relations.


    Yes, Oscar is fair, but it is not that it will not be affected. Of course, the impact here is not to squeeze money or engage in shady. It is to seek death by yourself. It really violates the bottom line of the film school. They don''t mind throwing you in front of the public. , In order to show their fairness and justice.


    You should know that many judges of the college have not even seen the nominated film before voting. People who can find a clip to watch are already considered responsible. Then what is the basis for their voting?


    Media reports and evaluations from well-known film critics!


    There is no doubt that the closer the film is released to the awards season, the more advantageous it will be. In this respect, "Sixth Sense" will undoubtedly fall short.


    But with the popularity of "Home Alone", he once again became the focus of the media, and even the "Sixth Sense" was pulled out by many media, and compared with this purely funny movie, he was doing it for him. A free publicity.


    These are definitely not enough. As early as the new year, the public relations battle of "Sixth Sense" has begun. Ryan and Miramax jointly funded and bought a full 12 pages of "Vanity Fair" and "Hollywood Report." , Began to build momentum for the "Sixth Sense", and he gave the "Los Angeles Times" an exclusive news, the third episode of Harry Potter will be listed in March, the other party''s reciprocity, in the report will be more or less biased.


    And this month, "Sixth Sense" won the national audience''s vote of 1990''s favorite movie, which is another weight.


    What they did was just to be nominated for Oscars and get admission tickets. As for winning, it depends not only on strength, but also on luck. "Sixth Sense" is another thriller, which is inherent There are weaknesses. In Miramax''s public relations plan, as long as they can get any of the golden figures, it will be a big victory.


    The school bell rang, Ryan packed up his things, took out the backpack from the locker, and walked towards the school door. Before going too far, Jerry and Peter chased him from behind.


    "Ryan, the third episode of Harry Potter will really be published in March?" Jerry asked.


    "That''s right." Ryan nodded.


    "Then have you finished writing? Can you let us see first." Peter gave a pleasing smile.


    "It''s finished."


    Just when the eyes of the two guys were shining, he made a helpless gesture, "I have already mailed it to the publishing house, and there is no manuscript left."


    Seeing the two of them downcast, Ryan sighed, "Well, after I get the sample book, I can show it to you first, but it''s not allowed to be passed on."


    "No problem! We guarantee it!"


    Ryan had just walked out of the school gate, and immediately found that something was wrong. The flashing lights appeared to dazzle blind people. There were a total of 20 or 30 reporters, like a big green fly smelling blood. Encircled in an instant, behind them, I don''t know which weird TV station was, and even the TV OB van drove over.


    He is okay. After all, he has experienced scenes larger and more chaotic than this, but Jerry and Peter around him paled with fright and their bodies trembled.


    Fortunately, the reporter''s goal was him, and they didn''t embarrass his two classmates.


    "Ryan, I¡¯m Ivanni from FOX TV. I want to ask what do you think of getting the Oscar nomination?" The reporter who ran the fastest was stopped by the security guard George, who rushed out of the school. He shouted desperately into the microphone.


    "Ryan, at the age of just eleven, you were nominated for an Oscar..."


    "Oscar?" Ryan seemed to understand something, and then raised his voice, "Quiet!"


    "Everyone, please keep order, you are so messy, I can''t hear anything." Ryan pointed to his ear and quickly found an acquaintance, Mick Taylor of the Los Angeles Times, "Mick, what about what''s going on?"


    "Ryan, this afternoon the Academy of Film just announced the 63rd Academy Awards nominations. "Sixth Sense" won six nominations, namely Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Actor. Supporting role, best original screenplay and best film editing, of which you won two nominations!" Mick Taylor said this sentence in one breath.


    "It turned out to be like this!"


    No wonder these guys are crazy, but he doesn''t have too many surprises and surprises. After all, this movie has also received many Oscar nominations in his previous life, although he can''t remember a few.


    "Ryan, what do you think?" someone asked impatiently.


    "Thank you very much for the recognition of the Film Academy, this is my honor, thank you!" This sentence must be said, this is the power of authority.


    "Do you think you will win an award?"


    "You will know when the Oscars are over." He shrugged.


    "The Sixth Sense and Home Alone both got close to 300 million U.S. dollars in box office. How did you do it?"


    "That is the effort of the whole team." Ryan will not be led by them.


    "In the history of Oscars, only the exorcist and the great white shark have been nominated for best picture in the horror film. The sixth sense is the third. Do you think it will achieve an unprecedented breakthrough?"


    "Let''s ask the academy for this question." Ryan rolled his eyes and wanted to tell him that the breakthrough will be next year. The movie is called "The Silent Lamb."


    "Ryan, recently several couples have publicly declared that you are their lost child..."


    At this moment, a group of people squeezed in, but Nicole¡¯s assistant came to pick him up. Seeing reporters at the door, he immediately realized that the situation was not good, and got support from the school.


    Under the protection of several male teachers, Ryan and the three got into the car. When the car drove onto the highway, they finally let out a sigh of relief.


    "I''m sorry, Jerry, Peter, I have implicated you in." The two classmates were still a little frightened, so the boy had to pat them on the arm.


    "It''s okay... it doesn''t matter."


    Even though they know that Ryan is now a star, to what extent is it famous for children of this age, there is no clear concept, and after experiencing today''s scene, they finally understand a little bit.


    "Where is your home? I will send you home first."


    ...


    "Dear viewers, here is the news broadcast of Fox Television. Just today, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for the 63rd Academy Awards. The outstanding performance in "Six Senses" won two nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor respectively. Now we are in front of St. John''s Elementary School where Ryan is studying...He is out, Ryan..."


    "Ryan...Ryan Jenkins took a car and left the school after answering a few questions from the reporter. We will wait and see if he can win an Oscar statuette..."


    Natalie Hurschle stared, watching the show on TV, and couldn¡¯t tell what it was like, that nasty guy, UU reading www. uukanshu. com has become a dazzling star in just one year, when will you be able to shine?


    "Nate, why are you distracted?" asked the mother who was sitting on the other side.


    "Huh? Mom." Natalie pointed to the TV, "I''m just happy for Ryan."


    went back to her room and sat at the desk. Natalie was a little lost. There was a photo frame directly opposite her. Inside was a photo of her and Ryan. This was the photo of him in front of her house last time.


    In a blink of an eye, another six months have passed. She still can only perform on the community stage, and he is about to be on the Oscar stage!


    Not long after returning home, Ryan received many congratulatory calls, such as sending Jinsli, Touchstone Pictures, Miramax, Harvey Weinstein, and so on.


    "It''s a pity, Al, you didn''t get the nomination for best actor." He said into the microphone.


    "It doesn''t matter, there is always a chance." Al Pacino''s mentality is indeed very good.


    Similarly, Ryan also made congratulatory calls to others, such as David Fincher, the director was very influenced by him. Not only did he change his debut, he also won the best director for the first time he took charge of the film guide. The nomination, whether this is good or bad for him, the boy is not clear.


    Of course, Nicole was the happiest person. She was so emotional that she kissed Ryan several times on the face. You can understand her mood by thinking about the mainstream media¡¯s evaluation of her¡ªthe acting is as amazing as her beauty. Up.


    There are only two chapters today~~

 Chapter 41： Pizza ads

    At the age of eleven, whether two Oscar nominations were unprecedented in history, Ryan didn¡¯t know and didn¡¯t care, but he knew that his own value would definitely increase.


    Taking advantage of his rest period, Pai Jinsli quickly negotiated an advertising contract for Pizza Hut¡¯s pizza advertisement. Just shoot two advertisements and get 500,000 US dollars. In Ryan¡¯s view, it is very cost-effective. After all, This will not take long.


    Originally, Espry wanted to ask him to endorse children¡¯s clothing, but Ryan¡¯s free time was either given to music or wasted on scripts and creation. There was not so much time to go to the merchant¡¯s platform. If it was just an advertisement, the endorsement would still be forget it.


    In order to take his time, the shooting time of the advertisement was specially selected on the weekend. Ryan was sitting in Jinsli''s car and was flipping through a stack of documents. These are all the information of the assistant candidates interviewed by the agent lady.


    "Ryan, you want one person to serve as your driver, bodyguard, and assistant. This is unrealistic!" Jinsli obviously had a headache.


    "Does anyone do the double pay?" Ryan scratched his head, "Well, let''s find a driver and bodyguard first, and the assistant will talk about it later. I''m really fed up with those guys."


    Since the film academy announced the nomination list, Ryan has enjoyed the treatment of a superstar. The reporters and paparazzi chased him at home and school. There is a lot of "If you can''t show evidence that you are not a Martian," you will not let him go. Even many media have turned over his past, analyzing his life and personality one by one, and there is a long series of "How a genius or a monster is made" in the newspapers.


    What''s more, he also has a beautiful and curious female celebrity sister. They keep in one place, but they can catch two fish in one net. It''s a bargain.


    The commercial was shot in the Universal Studios studio. During the shooting, he also had a little girl partner. When he saw the little girl introduced by the director, Ryan grinned and said it was a coincidence.


    The little girl''s face is dotted with freckles, and she has fluffy brown-red curly hair. It is Lindsay Lohan who he has met once.


    "The NG guy!"


    Ryan beckoned to her, but he didn''t expect the response he got was such a sentence.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins, this is Lindsay''s father, Michael Rohan." A middle-aged man walked over. Despite the strong smell of cologne, Ryan still smelled a touch of alcohol.


    "Hello, Mr. Rohan." He didn''t want to have anything to do with this super-best father, he just said hello and sat aside and read the script.


    The advertisement is very simple, far less complicated than those of later generations of Pizza Hut. What Ryan wants to show is the bright smile in "Home Alone", which is too simple for him, oh... and it''s pizza.


    It''s a pity that he didn''t have any interest in these foreign fast foods in his past or present life. Even though his stomach had adapted to the Western diet, he still couldn''t taste the pizza. As a result, something went wrong in the first trial shot.


    The apparently specially processed seafood pizza, at the moment of entrance, Ryan frowned, and the director could only stop.


    "Pat, water." Ryan hurriedly spit out the weird-smelling food, took the water glass that Jinsli handed over, and rinsed his mouth twice, which made him feel better.


    "What''s the matter, Ryan?" Pie? Jinsli asked.


    "I have never eaten something so unpalatable, even the food in the orphanage is better than this." Looking at the people around, Ryan said in a low voice.


    "Huh! He really is a NG guy." The little girl sitting across the table let out a disdainful snort.


    Ryan gave her a fierce look, but he couldn''t say anything. After all, it was a loss of grace to care about a five-year-old girl.


    Jinsli was a little bit dumbfounded, so she could only give a few words of comfort. Fortunately, Ryan was not someone who didn¡¯t know the importance of it. He pointed to the newly replaced piece of pizza and said, ¡°I¡¯ve never eaten anything like this before. The taste will be so bad, now that I am mentally prepared, it must be no problem."


    The next shooting is just like what Ryan said, he rarely has problems again, just a few shots at a time, and the little girl Lindsay is obviously a veteran of advertising, although NG a few times, it is not like ordinary The children are in all kinds of situations.


    It¡¯s just that the crew ran into trouble again during lunch. Since it¡¯s an advertisement for Pizza Hut, the lunch can be imagined. Looking at a box of pizzas, Ryan only feels disgusting and has no appetite. This is nothing but KFC. Outside of McDonald''s, the food can''t be worse.


    Fortunately, Universal Studios has not only a studio area, but also a huge play area. Ryan simply greeted the crew and walked towards the restaurant in the play area with Jinsli, but just walked to the entrance of the studio again. Was stopped by the little girl.


    "The NG guy." The little girl held her hands on her back and held her head up, "Remember? You owe me a banana boat!"


    "Banana boat?" Ryan had forgotten the past.


    "Last time, when I was shooting the commercial, you kept NG..." Lindsay''s lips were very neat, and she explained what happened that day. Ryan had no choice but to say, "Well, as long as your father agrees, I Take you to a banana boat."


    The little girl said a few words with her father, and Michael Lohan nodded quickly. When he came over, he wanted to go with him, but Ryan was evasive.


    Please! This kind of person can even curse his daughter for money. Ryan has no doubt that as long as he follows, he will sell what he said and do to the tabloid.


    Speaking of it, Lindsay is just a bit too lively and clever now, and can''t see how big a personality defect is. But Ryan knows what she will become when she grows up, which is more than Paris Hilton and Buddy. Lanny Spears''s Hollywood''s No. 1 topic queen, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and self-depravity.


    Even the degenerate girl Drew Barrymore, who is now frantically hyped by the media, cannot be compared with her when she grows up.


    Of course, she will become what she looks like later, perhaps because of Hollywood¡¯s big dye tank, but it¡¯s more because of her family. Needless to say, his superb father, alcoholism, drug abuse, domestic violence, etc. Little meaning, in the end she finally played herself in jail, and her mother was indeed a little better than her father, but it was only a little bit.


    Lindsay Lohan sacrificed her childhood and started shooting commercials since she was three years old. Her income is almost the income of the family. Throughout her childhood and adolescence, what she got from the family was not warmth and care, but violence. drug¡­¡­


    all say that saving young women who missed their feet is a very fun thing, but Ryan understands that unless she is replaced by two responsible guardians, the fall is still inevitable.


    After all, not every child is Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst, who can understand what they want in praise and admiration, and continue to work hard for it, nor is every child. It''s Drew Barrymore, who has a super director as the godfather, and Sophia Rowland as the godmother, who can stand up again when the drug is down.


    In fact, whether Lindsay or other Hollywood child stars, what they need most is a professional agent who can plan and guide their future.


    However, how many brokers will give up their immediate interests and pursue things that may not be available in the future?


    With the development of the entertainment industry up to now, the importance of a professional agent and behind-the-scenes team is self-evident. Think of Tom Cruise in the past life. If it weren¡¯t for Pie Kingsley, with his blind and arrogant personality. , I have offended all the people in the circle for a long time. After Cruise and Kinsley terminated their contract in 2004, his career quickly fell to the bottom, and eventually he could only eat the roots of "Mission Impossible". Think about it again. Thinking about the successful operation of Yao''s team behind Yao Da, this shows the importance of a professional agent team.


    "Okay, Ryan Jenkins, because you asked me to eat a banana boat, I won''t laugh at you anymore." Sitting opposite Ryan, Lindsay was stuffing ice cream in her mouth, very big The degree of grievance between the two was wiped out.


    "Then do I have to say thank you?" Ryan was dealing with a mature steak. Although it was a bit old, it was more appetizing than bloodshot.


    "Thank you, no need." The little girl thought for a while, "If you buy me another banana boat, maybe I will praise your superb acting skills in the futureDon''t even think about it, Lindsay. "Although it''s not cold in Los Angeles, it''s now in February, "If you have a bad stomach..."


    Ryan stopped, he almost blurted out, "Your father will definitely fall on me" just now, telling a naive girl what to do?


    "It''s stingy, just two banana boats!" The little girl snorted again.


    However, although this girl is young, she is a bit clever, and she is not a good or bad person. She lowered her head and concentrated on dealing with the ice cream.


    The two commercials were shot in just two days. Ryan also watched the samples without post-processing. He still retains a bit of innocence and cuteness, but as he grows older, he looks like "Home Alone". Cute and purely funny movies will soon be insulated from him.


    Within a few years, he will enter the most embarrassing period of child stars, when the adult role is too young, and the child role is too old, this time will often become a turning point in the fate of Hollywood child stars.


    Success in transformation can soar into the sky like Judy Foster, and failure in transformation... Well, this is unlikely for Ryan.


    Before returning to the "Terminator 2" crew, he has to participate in a premiere. Since he provided the script, Nicole is the heroine again, Harvey Weinstein also sent an invitation, and now there is no filming task. , It¡¯s not justified not to participate.


    After all, communication can only be achieved when there is communication, and contacts are accumulated slowly.


    ask for collection~~ ask for tickets~

 Chapter 42： Sleepless in Seattle

    Which time should I choose for a romantic and warm love movie? It must be Valentine''s Day! The premiere of "Night Sleep in Seattle" was selected on the night of February 13.


    Ryan still appeared on the red carpet with Nicole. Although he was only participating in the film''s premiere for the second time, it is different from the past. Both of them won Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actor and began to have My own fans.


    Especially Ryan''s role in "Home Alone" has won him the love of countless teenagers. On both sides of the red carpet, there are a large number of young men and women holding up the poster of Home Alone. When he waved his hand, he was far more than ordinary people. Imaginary scream.


    "Ryan, it looks like you are far more popular than me." Nicole joked.


    "That''s because there are not only movie fans, but also many book fans." He had seen it a long time ago. Those fans held not only posters but also books in their hands, which seemed to be "Jurassic Park" and two books. Ben Harry Potter.


    "Ryan~" The scream became louder and louder.


    "Go ahead, don''t let them down." Nicole patted him lightly.


    Ryan walked over, took a small pen from his dress pocket, took a copy of "Jurassic Park," signed his name on the title page, and smiled and said, "Thank you for your support."


    "Ryan, will the third episode of Harry Potter really be published in March?" When a girl handed over the signed book, she asked.


    "Yes, if nothing else, it should be around March 10." Ryan asked, "How do you call it?"


    "Jenny!"


    "Well, Jenny, may your smile always be bright." He wrote a congratulatory message behind his signature.


    This is the premiere of the movie. Ryan can¡¯t delay too long. After signing about ten, he pointed to Nicole, who was walking slowly, and said, ¡°Sorry, I can only get here today, Nicole. Waiting for me."


    can hear him confirm the publication time of the third episode of Harry Potter, these fans are already very satisfied, amidst another scream, Ryan hurried a few steps and caught up with Nicole.


    "Wow, his writing is so beautiful." A girl sighed.


    "People are much more handsome than before."


    "I heard that he is studying at St. John''s Primary School, how about we turn around?"


    The premieres of all the films are the same, taking pictures with the crew routinely, answering a few irrelevant questions, Ryan walked into the theater, out of confidence in Ryan, Miramax invited many people this time.


    We greeted several acquaintances in the field. He exchanged some opinions with Harvey Weinstein. Although most people at the screenings thought this was an excellent movie, Mr. Fatty was still sober and understood this. It is impossible for this movie to reach the height of "Sixth Sense".


    "With an investment of 20 million U.S. dollars, we estimate that the North American box office can exceed 100 million." Harvey Weinstein said, and then looked at the boy who hadn''t had his shoulders tall, "Ryan, are there any new ideas."


    "Come on, Harvey, do you think I''m an idea vending machine?" Ryan glared at him irritably. You know, when this guy was promoting Ryan Jenkins'' first love story, Many reporters in the office are asking if he has a girlfriend.


    This is really a weird question! This was his only thought at the time, okay! He admits that in some respects he is still not quite comfortable with Western thinking.


    After the people around had dispersed, Harvey Weinstein grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "The news from the crew of "Terminator 2" is that you are working on another script after shooting. "


    "There is such a thing." Ryan didn''t wait for him to speak, and then said, "The script is for James Cameron. Are you sure you want to invest in his film?"


    The fat man was stunned on the spot, but he knew that the investment in "Terminator 2" had exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. It is said that Cameron was still asking the producer for additional investment. Now anyone who sees him has a headache.


    "The script has actually been written almost. James estimates that the investment is likely to exceed "Terminator 2"!" Ryan''s words completely dispelled Weinstein''s idea. Even if he wins the script, changing the director may still be a big deal. Miramax can''t afford to invest now.


    Get rid of Harvey Weinstein, Ryan returned to Nicole''s side. When he saw the person Nicole enthusiastically introduced to him, he leaned slightly, "Miss Foster, it''s nice to meet you."


    "You can call me Judy, Ryan, I and Nicole are friends, don''t be so polite." The boy scratched his head a little, Judy Foster and Nicole Kidman will become friends. Which one is this? Shouldn''t...


    shook his head, and threw those unreliable ideas out of the sky. Ryan had read a lot of her information in her previous life and knew that she should have a regular same-sex partner.


    She can be said to be the most successful child star in the transition, but she still encountered big problems during the transition period. The crazy fan John Hinckley failed to pursue her, in order to attract her attention, he even assassinated the then Federal President Reagan. Although the old Reagan was lucky to lie in bed for only six months, Judy Foster had to retire temporarily for this.


    its not right? Ryan suddenly remembered another thing. In his previous life, he had watched "The Silent Lamb" at least ten times. He remembered very clearly that this movie should premiere the day before Valentine¡¯s Day, which is today. Why did Judy Foster, the heroine, come here?


    "In fact, "The Silent Lambs" was indeed originally scheduled to premiere today, but the producers felt that the atmosphere of the film and Valentine''s Day was too different, and it was delayed for a while." When asked by Ryan, Judy Fu Stout replied.


    "It turned out to be like this." Ryan nodded. That movie is really not suitable for Valentine''s Day. It was really weird that the young couple went to see Professor Cannibal.


    "Nicole, take Ryan to my place when you have time."


    Before entering the screening room, Judy Foster sent out an invitation.


    Frankly speaking, the plot of this movie is very clich¨¦d, and the sections are basically badly used by Hollywood, but it is undeniable that this kind of online dating-style radio love is very creative in this era. What''s more, whether it is Tom Hank Si, or Nicole Kidman have their own unique roles.


    Especially the plot of the Empire State Building touched many people. At the end of the movie, some people had tears in their eyes.


    After the enthusiastic applause, Ryan deliberately walked in front of the good American man in the future, "Mr. Hanks, your performance is very wonderful. If this movie is missing you and Nicole, it will definitely be a disaster."


    "Thank you. Ryan, you can call me Tommy." Obviously, Tom Hanks is very good at being a man. "When I was on the crew, I often heard Nicole talk about you. Sometimes I can hardly imagine such a love theme. The script of the book came from a child. I later found all your works to read. To be honest, Ryan, you are really a genius."


    "Thank you, Tommy." The boy also laughed, and everyone likes to listen to good things.


    He just provided the script of the movie. He didn''t even go to the press conference after the premiere. He hid in the car early and waited for nearly an hour before Nicole rushed over.


    "What happened? You look tired?" he asked Nicole who got into the car.


    "What else? If you don''t go, all those people have fired at me." Nicole rubbed her forehead with a helpless smile on her face, "They are all asking, what made you write such a thing? A touching love story, and asked me if you had a girlfriend at school, oh god!"


    Nicole suddenly covered her forehead, her emotions seemed to fluctuate, but then she recovered, "And the reporter is counting your works last year, two scripts, one unpublished Harry Potter..."


    "Do you describe me as a monster again? Or are you raising an entire creative team for me?"


    "Do you think that with the income of the two of us, we can raise such a creative team? Can they also give them silently and don''t mind standing behind the stage for a lifetime?" Nicole laughed and shook Ryan''s hand. "You No one knows how good it is than me!"


    There is no doubt that this is a very suitable movie to watch on Valentine''s Day. The content is warm and touching, and it has naturally become the first choice for couples to watch movies.


    This is not the hot summer and Christmas stalls. First, there is no strong competitor. Second, you can win more theaters for the movie. After the first week, there are more than two thousand theatersFilm Harvest With a box office of US$27.14 million, and as more Christmas films go offline, subsequent theaters will increase. If this momentum continues, the North American box office of over 100 million seems to be a foregone conclusion.


    Ryan doesn¡¯t care about this, he has to go back to the crew. If he is late, I believe James Cameron will definitely let him NG hundreds of times in a shot. He doesn¡¯t want to touch the mold of that set tyrant.


    Of course, because he doesn''t care, it doesn''t mean that the media will let him go. Many newspapers and magazines have come out with him and even counted last year''s works for him.


    Especially, Miramax took this opportunity to start the hype again.


    "Up to now, Ryan Jenkins has three screenplays that have been put on the big screen. Except for "Sixth Sense" which was created in 1989, "Home Alone" and "Night Sleep in Seattle" were both written last year. Recently, we learned from people familiar with Miramax that the last two scripts were created by Ryan at the same time in two months. Of course, "Home Alone" is an adaptation, but even so, he The efficiency is also terrifying. I don¡¯t know what screenwriters who can¡¯t find inspiration for a script for months will feel?"


    "What insider! Obviously Harvey? Weinstein!" This is Ryan''s evaluation after reading it. "If the big fat man continues to hype, one day I will become a head with double horns and wings on the back. monster!"


    Actually, he knows very well that compared to his age, his creative speed is slightly faster. However, 90% of the things he writes basically don¡¯t need to be conceived. As for inspiration? His outstanding artistic talent allows him to capture every detail in life and creation.

 Chapter 43： Prelude to Oscar

    As James Cameron stood up from the director''s chair, everyone burst into cheers. After 160 days of hard shooting, "Terminator 2" was finally closed today.


    Looking at the beard hugging Linda Hamilton, Ryan has the urge to pour the molten iron on his head, even though he knows that the things that look like molten iron are only reflected by the orange light. Just clear water.


    Since returning to the crew, he has never left, especially the final scenes, because the steelmaking workshop has to be remodeled and was put at the end. Shooting in this complicated environment is difficult to bump into. Fortunately, he only suffered a few more skin injuries, but Linda Hamilton had injured a bone in his leg some time ago.


    "If it is possible, I will not make action scenes in the future, it is too dangerous." Ryan''s complaint at the time also attracted Cameron''s glaring glares.


    But is it possible? According to his plan, action dramas are inevitable in the future. Is it really necessary to rely on the sour literary films to hit the highest honor?


    "Arnold, look at Jim, you can''t delay picking up a girl in a movie, you are too behind~" Ryan shook his head and looked at Schwarzenegger.


    "Don''t look at Jim being very happy now, when he has a headache later." Schwarzenegger is totally gloating, and Catherine Bilogue is a burly tigress. "Has your script been completed?"


    "Just finished filming, don''t you think you should take a good rest?" Ryan pointed to Cameron, "Jim has decided to take over the script, but he said it will be next year at the earliest."


    "I can think about the role while resting. It''s not conflicting, is it?"


    "Well, the script is with Ms. Jinsili. I will notify her to give you a copy."


    Returning to the trailer, Ryan took off his shirt and revealed some small scars on his body that had not healed. He was a little afraid to go back to Los Angeles. If Nicole was allowed to see these skin injuries, he was very sure that Australian girls would definitely come to the door. Killed James Cameron personally.


    But it is impossible not to go back. It will be the Oscars ceremony soon, and there are two important awards waiting for him to compete.


    Although he hid in a steel mill in a remote suburban area, news about him has been heated up during this period of time, with major newspapers calling him a super genius, tabloids calling him a weird boy, especially in "Harry Potter and After the publication of "Prisoner of Azkaban", various gossips began to fly in the sky.


    It is precisely because of the foreshadowing of the first two titles, his fame, and the crazy hype of the publishers that after the book went on sale on March 10th, it rushed to the top of the bestseller list in just one week, and was What it squeezed down was "Jurassic Park."


    After the Oscar nomination list was announced, "Jurassic Park", which gave up the championship some time ago, once again squeezed to the top spot, which surprised many people.


    In addition, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which was driven by "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", has an unprecedented appearance in the top ten in the latest issue of the US bestseller list. While the author''s three books are amazing, they also aroused criticism from many people.


    The tabloids headed by the "New York Post", this time smartly no longer attacked that these works were ghostwriters, but changed their way. They wrote articles one after another criticizing "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". The adult-oriented style believes that the audience for this book is mostly minors. Such a change will inevitably have a negative impact on some children. It calls on the National Federation of Teachers and Parents to boycott this work, rather than as a recommended reading.


    Some people even began to criticize. Judging from "Night Sleep in Seattle" and the latest works of the boy, he is gradually losing his most admired childlike innocence.


    "Childlike heart? You all said that I was weird and too precocious, but never said I have a childlike mind." Facing reporters'' questions, Ryan frowned and replied, "People always learn to grow up."


    With the popularity and influence of the Harry Potter series spreading to all ages, Ryan began to establish a unique position in the hearts of teenagers across the United States, and a group of his book fans and movie fans went to "New York In front of the editorial office of The Post, they protested against their attacks on their idols.


    The spokesperson of the Federation of Teachers and Parents also declared that the Harry Potter series and the Ryan Stories are the best books for teenagers in recent years.


    The tabloid quickly changed the direction of the attack. The California Independent wrote an article in a prominent position, "There is no doubt that Ryan Jenkins is a super genius. Unless someone''s head is hit by a car, he can do it. It can be seen that it is impossible for him and Nicole Kidman to support such a creative team. In our opinion, these works are 100% by him."


    "Here, we want to discuss not his work, but the moral issue of this amazing boy. We are very sure that since he left the orphanage, he has never gone back to see the place where he lived for seven years. In the past year, he has earned absolutely more than ten million U.S. dollars, but he has not donated a cent to the orphanage that raised him."


    "Ms. Massey, the dean of the Norston Welfare Institute, in an interview with us, claimed that Miss Nicole Kidman used very disgraceful tactics to steal the custody of Ryan Jenkins from the orphanage. , And Ryan is a boy who doesn''t know how to be grateful. She helped him a lot back then, and she has never heard him say thank you!"


    This article attracted the attention of some people, but it was naturally ignored by mainstream society. For one thing, many people have some understanding of what the orphanage is like nowadays. Secondly, Ms. Messi is a black person who can no longer be black. , And she attacked a white man with a reputation, and the results can be imagined.


    "I didn''t go to her to settle the account and it was so great that she actually jumped out by herself."


    Sitting in the RV heading to the Hall of Sacred Citizens, Ryan handed a copy of the California Independent to Pie? Jinsli, "The account should be settled back then!"


    "What do you want to do again?" Nicole was a little worried.


    "Ryan, you are now a public figure, something..."


    "No, no, Pat, and Nicole, you have misunderstood what I mean, and I will never implicate this kind of thing on us." Ryan thought for a while and felt that he should seek Jinsli¡¯s opinion. , After all, she is a professional.


    After Ryan told the story, Jinsli nodded gently. This is indeed a good way. You can use the hands of those reporters to turn over the old accounts without spilling the sewage on her body.


    However, there is still a big loophole in this plan, she asked, "Ryan, what if you can''t get on the podium?"


    "It doesn''t matter, I can always find a suitable occasion." Ryan shrugged. Even if he couldn''t get the little golden man, he didn''t have a chance to say that award-winning speech, but he could go on a TV show afterwards, although the effect was much worse. .


    The long red carpet seems to be unable to see the end at a glance, handsome men and beauties gather together, low-necked, deep V, shoulderless, backless and other evening dresses are on stage. Even if it¡¯s a zipped shirt, the female stars will try to show their uniqueness. On the other hand, here is a huge show, and what will be staged is the annual ultra-luxury show-the Oscar awards ceremony!


    Nicole Kidman dressed in a tight-fitting off-the-shoulder evening dress, showing off her tall and slender figure. Ryan took her hand and stepped onto the red carpet for the first Oscar in her life.


    With the sale of "Night in Seattle", Nicole gradually became one of Hollywood''s top actresses, and Ryan was the focus of all media recently. They immediately attracted everyone''s attention as soon as they stepped onto the red carpet.


    The click of the shutter sounded constantly, countless films were murdered while they were on the move, and their fans kept screaming. They were like the two people holding hands on the red carpet, as a whole.


    As we walked through the interview area, although the reporter''s questions kept ringing, Ryan just smiled and was not interested in answering any questions. In fact, reporters who had dealt with him knew that this boy was not easy to deal with at all, not only cunning. Ruhu is also extremely good at taking advantage of his underage.


    After Nicole put on a glamorous look, Ryan just beckoned, and then pulled her into the Sacred Citizens Auditorium. The red carpet is just a battlefield for female stars in a sense. uukanshu. com, then, is the battlefield of the entire "Sixth Sense" crew.


    The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has regulations that after the Oscar nomination list is announced, it is strictly forbidden to contact the judges in private. Although Harvey Weinstein has a lot of connections in the academy, after all, he has just started and is not the **** of public relations in the future. He is not sure whether "Sixth Sense" can win a little golden man.


    At this time, people who are stingy with money will undoubtedly say goodbye to Xiaojin in advance. After the nomination list was announced, Ryan and Nicole each put out $1 million, and combined with Miramax to launch a powerful propaganda offensive.


    They not only bought 15 pages from Vanity Fair and The Hollywood Reporter again, but also hired gunmen to publish commentary articles on the Sixth Sense in major newspapers. Most of these articles were praise, but also criticized. Only by keeping the argument can the topic of the movie continue to be hot.


    It''s not just "Sixth Sense", all the movies that are nominated for key awards are waving banknotes and launching a public relations battle. At this time, the happiest public relations companies are the major public relations companies.


    "All we have done, propaganda, hype, and controversy are just to ensure that every judge has watched the film, at least some clips in the film." This is when the two parties are discussing how to public relations, ha What Wei Weinstein said.


    Ryan rolled his eyes. Harvey Weinstein is still constrained now, and no one knows what will happen in the future. No one knows better than him, but he caused the biggest murder in Oscar history.


    We are going to have a meeting in the morning, it was passed a bit early~ Everyone is big, please give me some recommendation tickets, thanks~~

 Chapter 44： Oscar One

    Holding Nicole''s hand, Ryan walked all the way into the theater, and quickly found the crew, and greeted the crew members such as David Finch, Al Pacino and Harvey Weinstein one by one. , Sat down quietly and waited for the start of the award ceremony.


    In fact, he is not optimistic that he and Nicole can get the Golden Man. Although the Oscar is not like a Grammy, he can see the judges'' standards, but it is really difficult for people with too little experience to win the prize. .


    Ryan has watched the performances of several other best supporting actor nominees in their respective films. Except for Joe Paisy, he is confident that his performance in "Sixth Sense" is slightly better than the others. If it is for Harvey Weinstein, who is ten or even five years later, to operate, it is not that difficult to win the best supporting actor. After all, this guy will take Gwyneth into the water in a few years. After entering the new century, the first post-90s queen was created.


    As for Nicole Kidman, Ryan feels that she has a lower chance than herself. First, she is not a standard American¡ªdespite American citizenship¡ªand second, she is a blond beauty, even though she is praised for her acting and appearance. , But in the eyes of those conservative old men, if you want to win the prize, you still have to wait in line for a few years.


    This is also good, and you can accumulate enough qualifications to reach the top in the future.


    Exciting music sounded, interrupting Ryan''s thoughts. After the routine spoof clips, Billy Christo jumped onto the stage. This guy murmured nonstop with a sharp mouth and teased Kevin Coase. After Turner, Arnold Schwarzenegger and others, amidst the boos in the audience, they finally stopped the jokes that were getting closer and closer to Xia San Lu.


    "Well, I know it''s a bit long-winded, you guys must be saying,''Hey, Billy, no matter how much you say, the academy won''t give you a little golden man, let''s step down quickly.''" Actually, no joke, as long as When people see his face, they can''t help but laugh out loud, "Then, the best supporting actress will be awarded next!"


    Somewhat unexpectedly, a heavyweight award will be given as soon as it comes up.


    When Billy Christo stepped down, the guests who came up from behind the scenes were a bit surprised, because according to the Oscars, the guests of such more important awards are generally the last winners, but this Standing on the stage from time to time is a short buttocks¡ªTom Cruise, who has already entered the ranks of superstars!


    However, both the off-stage guests and the audience in front of the TV, after a little surprise, they returned to normal. Although Oscars are not as frequent as Grammys, the brain is not flooded, but occasional cramps are normal. No, isn''t it?


    Ryan''s brows are frowning tightly. You know that Nicole has rejected the pursuit of the soup several times over the past year. This is not a secret in the circle. Many tabloids have reported on it. Now the college Asking him to award the best supporting actress almost means that Nicole has no chance.


    Of course, this may also be done deliberately by the academy. There are enough gimmicks to get high ratings.


    "Don''t worry, Ryan. I''m very satisfied to be nominated!"


    Nicole stretched out a hand and tapped two slender fingers on the center of the boy''s brow. After a few strokes, he smoothed the knot.


    "Nominated for Best Supporting Actress..."


    Tom Cruisen took a moment, and glanced over the beautiful and tall woman inadvertently, but after seeing Ryan''s playful eyes, he subconsciously closed his gaze back and continued to say, "Ubi Fort Gordon, "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts Is Unexpected." Annette Bening, "A Thousand Nets of Dangerous Love." Rolandie Blanco, "There is a Way to Pirates." Nicole Kidman, "The Sixth Sense. Mary MacDonald, "Dancing with Wolves."


    "Then the one who won the best supporting actress..."


    Brother Atang raised his head and showed his iconic smile, which drew a boo from below.


    Ryan felt his hands tight, even slightly trembling. He has been a man for two generations. He knows very well that as an actor, who doesn''t want to stand on that stage, who doesn''t want to get an Oscar statuette, who doesn''t want to be recognized by the highest honor!


    "Wooby? Fort Gordon, "The Love Is Over for Humans and Ghosts"! Congratulations!"


    Sure enough, just like the last world he experienced, the fat black woman won the best supporting actress with the wonderful interpretation of the love tear gas, and the award-winning Tom Cruise was also relieved secretly, after all. It is really embarrassing to give an award to a woman who has repeatedly rejected his pursuit!


    In this kind of public occasion, no matter how unwilling to lose, the vast majority of people will maintain their proper etiquette. What''s more, these superb acting stars, Ryan and Ryan also slapped their hands with everyone, just thinking in their hearts What is it, only they themselves will know.


    "Believe me, Nicole, at most ten years, you will stand at the highest position!" Ryan had just finished speaking in the other''s ear, and Nicole Kidman''s blue eyes squinted slantingly. She stunned him. Although it has been four years, she has become more and more incomprehensible about the little guy she adopted. At this moment, seeing his winking expression, she can only coldly warn, "Shut up. , Ryan, how about your manners!"


    Ryan closed his mouth obediently and put on a standard gentleman appearance, just like Nicole said, as long as he wants to, he is the perfect little gentleman.


    Then a series of technical awards were awarded. "Dancing with Wolves" is destined to be the big winner of this Oscar. It has won the best photography, best sound effects, best film editing, best original soundtrack and other awards. Although lost the best costume design and best art direction, but then got the best adapted screenplay.


    "The foundation of an excellent movie is to have an excellent script, and every excellent script is the result of the countless efforts of the screenwriter..."


    Tommy Lee Jones finally said, "Let¡¯s take a look at this year¡¯s Oscar nominee for Best Original Screenplay, Bruce Joel Rubin, "The Love of the Green Card". "Peter Weir, "Avalon''s Story" Avalon, "Sixth Sense" Ryan Jenkins..."


    "Honey, you don''t seem to be nervous at all."


    Nicole Kidman looked at the boy and saw that he looked relaxed and content, and he couldn''t help but applaud his psychological quality.


    "Obviously!" Ryan pointed to the figure in the middle of the big screen, "It''s impossible for "Sixth Sense" to win "Human Ghost Love Is Not Over!"


    Sure enough, Tommy Lee on the stage opened the envelope and read out the winners, ¡°The winner of the best original script is Bruce Joel Rubin!¡±


    The crew of ¡¡¡¡ made a low sigh. Up to now, the few awards they nominated have all failed. Are they going to return empty-handed tonight?


    Ryan did not look half lost. As the crowd clapped their palms, the "Sixth Sense" script was indeed novel in creativity, but it was a thriller script. Although it had crushed "Human Ghost" at the box office, it was obviously not Not to be seen by the college, let alone, it is not a few years from now, the college will not easily bow to business.


    Harvey Weinstein quietly wiped his sweat, looking a bit nervous and disappointed, completely without the calm appearance of the future public relations god.


    The next award attracted Ryan''s attention, Best Foreign Language Film.


    "The nominees for the best foreign language film are "Journey of Hope", "Big Nose Love Saint", "I''m Not a Bad Girl", "Judou"..."


    Judou? Ryan was a little stunned, did not remember seeing Lao Mouzi and Gong Meiren.


    I couldn''t help turning around in the theater. The place was too big to see clearly.


    "The winner is..."Journey of Hope"."


    As the final result was read on stage, Harvey Weinstein sighed again. Ryan blinked and remembered something. "Judou" was introduced by Miramax from Japan to North America. Yes, it has nothing to do with Lao Mouzi.


    Ryan shrugged and set up a sitting posture. The next best supporting actor was about to be awarded. The guest who came out to present the award turned out to be Judy Foster, and as she stood in front of the microphone, the camera had begun. Capture the nominee''s shots, as if you don''t want to make a fool of yourself, it''s better to settle down.


    What is the college doing today? Why are the award-presenting guests stranger than the other, who doesn¡¯t know that Judy? Foster and Nicole? Kidman is a best friend, so let her award the best supporting actor, doesn¡¯t it mean...


    Some people have started to look back frequently, looking at the location of the crew of "Sixth Sense".


    Nicole Kidman glanced at the boy next to him and sighed. She took him to live in London for a long time. UU Reading once invited him the most famous etiquette teacher, as long as he Think, he is the perfect little gentleman.


    The big part that was kept just to star in "Terminator 2" is so obtrusive in her eyes. If it weren''t for Ryan''s strong request, as a guardian, she would not let him accept the ravages of the tyrant on the set anyway. .


    "A great movie will never be without the wonderful performance of supporting actors..."


    Judy Foster was not as verbose as Tom, just a few simple words, and he read the list of nominations for best supporting actor, "Bruce Davidson, "The Companion of Love." Joe Paisy , "There is a Way to Pirates." Ryan Jenkins, "The Sixth Sense"..."


    While Judy Foster read out the list, the crew members sitting around Ryan were a little nervous. Not only Ni could hold Ryan¡¯s slender hand but also Harvey, who was the producer. Weinstein''s forehead began to see sweat again, after all, for Miramax, who was just starting out, any little golden man has extraordinary significance.


    In fact, everyone knows that among the four most important nominations for "Sixth Sense", best supporting actress has already gone to other places. The best director and best film almost don¡¯t have to think about it. The only hope is that Miramax''s public relations award is the best supporting actor.


    "The winner of the best supporting actor is..."


    Tickets and collections~~ Guiqiu! I received a background text message, and I have two recommendations next week. Although the location is not very good, I was moved to tears in the moat~ I have been busy in the past few days. In the past, I could code 4 to 5 chapters. . . .

 Chapter 45： Oscar II

    "The winner of the best supporting actor is..." Judy Foster slowly opened the envelope in his hand. After looking at it, he seemed to be in disbelief. He blinked his eyes twice and finally said, " Oh, God, it¡¯s really amazing, well, not too surprised. After all, what he has done in the past year is obvious to all..."


    The people in the audience realized something at this time, and they began to look in the direction of Ryan frequently. The people on the "Sixth Sense" crew were beaming, but the final result has not yet appeared. They can only suppress their excitement. Emotions, even Nicole Kidman''s cold expression, bloomed with brilliant brilliance like ice and snow in the sun. It seemed that the boy was more happy to win the prize than she herself.


    It was a little different from everyone''s reaction. Ryan still kept smiling. No matter in his expression or in his heart, there seemed to be no change. Only Nicole, who was connected to his hands, felt the slight uncontrollable shaking of his body.


    "Congratulations! Ryan Jenkins, "Sixth Sense"!" In the expectation of everyone, Judy Foster read the final result. With the psychological preparation just now, everyone was not too surprised. There was a burst of warm applause.


    Although losing to an eleven-year-old kid feels very unwilling, the few who lost still gave the same warm applause. No matter who it is, no one can deny that the talented little guy, in the sixth In "Sense", the little boy Cole with mysterious perception ability is almost perfected!


    "yes!"


    Ryan shook his fist hard, jumped up directly from the seat, and gave Nicole who was also standing up a big hug, but Nicole Kidman was nearly six feet tall, and he had just begun puberty. The head fell on Nicole''s chest, and all she saw in her eyes was a piece of white flowers. After saying something in her heart, don''t look at any indecent ass, and quickly let go of the Australian beauty.


    "Thank you, Nicole!" As a person whose soul comes from across the Pacific Ocean, Ryan is not the kind of ghost who knows his kindness and refuses to report. If she had not taken him in four years ago, what would he be like now? Unimaginable, and the two of them have been getting along day and night for more than four years, and they have long been in a tacit understanding between them. Nicole patted his arm lightly, "Go, don''t let those who like you down!"


    Ryan left his seat and hugged everyone from the crew, including David Fincher, who was nominated for best director for the first time in directing the film, and the one who played with him in the movie, but was reluctantly nominated for best actor. Al Pacino finally came to Harvey Weinstein, who was the producer.


    "Thank you, Harvey!"


    After embracing the founder of Miramax Films, he turned to the other side, "And you Pat!"


    Ryan rarely said a truthful thing. He knew very well that without the full public relations of sending Kingsley and Harvey Weinstein, he would never have gotten this figurine.


    Even if Harvey Weinstein did this more for his own Miramax, the two had reached a verbal agreement in advance, but Ryan is not a good or bad person, and this guy will be used in a lot of places in the future. .


    Besides, he also promised him that the two sides will cooperate again this year.


    Ryan steadily stepped onto the stage of the sacred auditorium, and his excitement gradually calmed down. Unlike the image of some thin boys in "Sixth Sense", he was obviously taller at this time, maintaining a smiling face. , With a big part of the ruffian, it looks like a different kind of temperament.


    "Congratulations, Ryan!"


    Judy Foster and Ryan gave a light hug.


    "Thank you, Judy, it''s a great honor for you to give me awards!"


    "I am at your age, but I haven''t made such an outstanding result."


    "You are a role model for all child stars, we should all learn from you!" Ryan lowered his voice and said half-truth.


    Judy Foster naturally understood the meaning of the boy''s words, but didn''t say anything. Even though everyone thought she was the most successful child star in the transformation, only oneself understood the bitterness and sweetness.


    "Ryan, I would like to ask, you are only eleven years old. You can write novels, write scripts, and act as a star. Are you a Martian?" After Ryan took over the Little Golden Man, Judy ? Foster didn''t let the microphone turn on, but joked very rarely.


    Ryan didn''t mind. He turned the little golden man in his hands. He was not as heavy, excited and excited as he thought. He vented as early as the moment when the award was announced. At this time, he seemed very calm and didn''t look at all. Like an eleven-year-old child, on the contrary, it looks like an old drama bone who is nearly young.


    "Well, I do come from Mars. Now the little golden man has gotten his hands. I''m going back to Mars. The earth is too dangerous!"


    As soon as Ryan finished saying these words, a roar of laughter broke out off the stage. Everyone knew that he was countering Judy Foster¡¯s ridicule. Of course, the jokes should be limited, and his expression gradually became serious. "Thank you the judges, this trophy is the greatest affirmation and proof for an eleven-year-old child! Thank you Harvey, you believe in the whimsical imagination of an eccentric boy! Thank you David and Al, you are my mentor and mentor. Thank you everyone in the "Sixth Sense" crew, you are the best team! Thank you Ms. Jinsili, in my eyes you are the best agent! Thank you Dean Katie, you warmed the heart of a lonely child Thank you to everyone who loves me. You are the biggest motivation for me to move forward."


    Speaking of this, Ryan suddenly stopped, her bright sapphire-like eyes, traversing a distance of tens of feet, among the densely packed heads, instantly found the cold and glamorous face with a passionate smile, two pairs The blue pupils were just right in one place.


    "I am an orphan, and life before the age of seven is only cold and dark!" Ryan''s eyes are getting brighter and his expression is getting more and more sincere, as if speaking with his own heart and soul, "Until that day, The day I will never forget, Nicole, it was you who brought sunshine to a child¡¯s world, and you were the one who propped up a piece of sky for a precarious and unrelated child. Here, on the Oscar¡¯s stage, I don¡¯t want to say thank you, because it¡¯s too weak to express my feelings for you, I just want to say...I love you, Nicole!"


    As the most dazzling child star last year, the media has long dug out Ryan¡¯s past, especially between Nicole Kidman, the kind of sister-brother relationship that is not a relative but is better than a relative. After the exposure, it was touched. Countless people, at this moment, facing the boy who was affectionately speaking on the stage and the girl who looked excited down the stage, they could only respond with more enthusiastic applause.


    "Thank you!"


    On the other side, the music urged by the band rang. Ryan just wanted to step off the stage after speaking, and suddenly smiled brightly. Isn¡¯t it a good opportunity to respond to Dean Black Pig? Let¡¯s talk about it. A plan has been drawn up on the road, and it would be too wasteful if it is not used.


    He stood back in front of the microphone, "Last sentence, thank you all who hate me and those who hate me. If it weren''t for the dark past that you made when I was six and seven years old, there would be no me now!"


    No one thought that Ryan would say such a sentence at last, and for a while, the scene couldn''t help being silent.


    In contrast, the reporters and paparazzi who heard this sentence jumped up in excitement. Obviously, Ryan Jenkins must have an unknown dark past in the orphanage where he once stayed. As journalists with a''conscience'', they are obliged to dig up those secrets and show them to the public one by one, in exchange for more money for themselves by the way.


    On the way back to his seat, a tall man like a mountain suddenly stopped Ryan from going. Before the boy could react, the current T800 future governor had already given him a celebratory hug.


    "Congratulations, Ryan!"


    "Thank you, my bodyguard!" Before the two separated, the boy winked at Schwarzenegger.


    After celebrating with the crew, Ryan sat back in his seat and saw Nicole next to her with watery eyes. Although there were no tears coming down, she was obviously moved by what he said just now and said deliberately, "Hey, this is not the Nicole I know? Kidman, she is glamorous, noble, proud and... with deep heart, how could she be moved to tears by a few words of a child?"


    "Ryan!" Nicole whispered. After getting along for more than four years, she is naturally very familiar with the boy''s character. This nasty guy is like this every time. When you are moved by him in a mess, he hits next. Human words will always make people fall from the clouds to the ground. If it is not a public place, she really wants to pull him over and show him a good look directly.


    "I apologizeNicole!" Ryan clearly understands the principle of enough to stop. After all, he is currently weak, and he is definitely not the opponent of the other party if he really wants to cause trouble. Some accounts are still slow when he grows up. Slow calculations are good.


    The big winner of this Oscar is destined to be Kevin Costner and his "Dancing with Wolves". After winning the best director and best film, the annual awards ceremony also came to an end.


    After a routine group photo and a brief interview, Ryan was too young and needed to rest early, while Nicole turned down some party invitations and drove directly with the agent lady on the pretext of taking care of the boy. Returned to the apartment in the Westwood District.


    After taking a shower, Nicole was blowing her golden-red curly hair with a hairdryer, and walking out of the bathroom. At a glance, she saw the little golden man who was casually thrown on the sofa. She couldn''t help being speechless and regarded the Oscar little golden man as a treasure in the eyes of others. , Just being thrown around by that nasty little guy, I really don''t know what to say about him.


    Perhaps in his heart, these honors are not as precious as the manuscripts and music scores he wrote? Nicole sighed, picked up her mood, walked to the boy¡¯s door and pushed a little bit, just like when she adopted him for two years, the door was not locked, she pushed it open with a little effort Come.


    Ryan''s life is very regular. In the dim light, he is facing her back and is obviously asleep. Nicole gently stepped on the floor, walked slowly to the side of the bed, and lay on the other side of the bed carefully. As if facing the most expensive treasure, he took the sleeping boy into his arms.


    The theater will open at the end of the month, and it¡¯s not easy to take a weekend off~in the code~seeking recommendation~seeking collection~

 Chapter 46： bun

    The first rays of sunlight in the morning shattered, and Ryan walked out of the house and suddenly found himself in the old street that had lived for more than ten years. The people who came and went were all yellow people with black hair and black eyes, not Those ghosts with high noses and deep eyes.


    He felt that his thinking seemed not so clear, and he didn''t bother to think about it, and walked forward along the stone road of the old street.


    "Buns, hot buns, hot buns just out of the oven!"


    Following the familiar cries, Ryan found the bun shop where he often had breakfast. He reached out and touched in his pocket for a long time, always feeling soft and warm. After a while, he finally fetched a banknote from his pocket. , Took a look at him uneasy. Fortunately, it was not a **** of a green ticket, but a red grandfather Mao.


    "Aunt Yang, let''s have a bowl of tofu, put more chili and coriander, and two big buns with beef stuffing!"


    Ryan habitually sat behind a wooden table and waited for the steaming steamed buns to be brought up, without considering hygiene issues, he reached out and grabbed a big round bun with white flowers and hesitated. He opened his mouth and bit on the tip of the steamed buns. Fortunately, he still remembered that the steamed buns made by Aunt Yang were filled with oily soup, and the oily soup must be sucked out before eating.


    pursed his lower lip, holding the tip of the bun, Ryan sucked and sucked vigorously, but found that he didn''t know why, but today''s bun just couldn''t suck.


    He couldn''t help frowning, grabbing the second white-flowered round bun with his other hand, and biting it on the raised tip again. It seemed that the taste was a bit wrong. He stretched out his tongue and licked it hard. A few times, it''s really not the smell of beef filling, how can it be so...the smell of Nicole?


    Regardless of him, Tian Da Di Da Di did not eat too much, so he should eat the steamed buns first. After licking a few more times, he subconsciously sucked in, but the steamed buns today are too strange. Why is there no soup? Is it Yang Aunt cut corners?


    It shouldn''t be, Aunt Yang, this is a time-honored brand for more than ten years, and she shouldn''t do this kind of smashing one''s own signs, so let''s ask hello.


    "Aunt Yang..."


    Ryan had just spoken, and suddenly found that the bun in his hand was... actually moved by himself, and his palm, which broke free soon, flew forward out of thin air.


    "Hey~ Baozi...My bun, don''t run! Don''t run!"


    At last night¡¯s awards ceremony, I was nervous, disappointed, excited, and consumed too much energy. I didn¡¯t know when, but fell asleep. It wasn¡¯t until midnight when she woke up thirsty that Nicole realized that she was holding Ryan. Sleep on a bed.


    It¡¯s okay. They used to sleep together a lot in the past, but in the past few years, as Ryan has grown up, and the difference between men and women, they are not sisters and brothers, so they never sleep together again.


    After getting up and drinking some water, Nicole didn''t go back to her room, took the guy back into her arms, and continued to fall asleep. It''s just that he is getting bigger and bigger, heavier than before, but still like a few years ago, Like to get into her arms and pillow her soft breasts.


    The morning sun shined into the room through the window. Nicole''s eyelashes blinked a few times and opened a little confused eyes. After looking at the time, it was still very early, and she lowered her head in her arms. He kissed lightly on his forehead and closed his eyes again.


    Before she fell asleep again, she suddenly felt an abnormal movement in her chest. A hand with slender fingers and many calluses pulled her pajamas away, and quickly pushed her chest to the side, rubbing **** the plump softness. Moved a few times.


    Not only that, the annoying guy in his arms opened his mouth and lightly bit on the tip. This was not enough. He actually... even sucked hard.


    Nicole only felt that her heart was crisp. She just wanted to push the guy''s head away. Who knew he would let go in a while. The glamorous girl breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party was still asleep. I didn''t take it to heart, however, at this moment, the hateful guy grabbed another soft one of her, and grabbed the top with a thunderous force.


    This time, not only did I use my teeth to bite a few times on it, but I even licked my tongue back and forth on it. With bursts of sucking, Nicole, who just wanted to reach out and push, softened. , His arms fell weakly on the bed, and even the brain that had always claimed to be clear and bright was confused, and he felt as if he was floating in the clouds.


    Damn little bastard! Do you know what you are doing, you are lewd! You are sexual harassment!


    Nicole Kidman gritted her teeth hard to make herself awake. She can''t remember how long she hasn''t had sex, as if she has never been close to a man since the boy came around.


    Damn it! This kid never forgot to eat human tofu in his sleep, and he must be a **** when he grows up!


    The glamorous girl finally sat up from the bed, and at the same time pulled Ryan out of her arms without angrily, and she was still on the bed next to her. She looked vicious and seemed to want to teach him severely.


    "Bun...My bun, don''t run..."


    "Bun?"


    After all, I have lived together for more than four years. Nicole has naturally seen and eaten the kind of food from China, white, sharp, not like...


    "Damn it! Treating my beautiful **** as... for breakfast!"


    When Nicole Kidman walked out of the door with a dark face, and there was a sound of slamming the door, Ryan shrugged his head and leaned against the head of the bed. However, he was not worried about Nicole. But they will get angry, after all, the two depend on each other, and they have a deep friendship and deep attachment to each other.


    However, what made him a little alert was that the thoughts and feelings that were forced to the deepest part of his heart jumped out again at this moment, and some pictures continued to flash in his mind. Those were the most glamorous movies that Nicole had seen in previous lives. The camera, at the same time, a voice was clamoring in my ears.


    Do not! I''m not a bastard! I am not an ungrateful bastard! Ryan suddenly hugged his head and shook it vigorously, as if to shake all these thoughts out of his mind, but the voice not only did not disappear, but became louder and louder-who is Nicole Kidman, do not you know? She is ambitious and capable. You are helping her, helping her to reach the top.


    Do not! The boy took a bite on the pillow and seemed to vent some emotions. Only a pair of eyes looked in the direction of New York through the window. This tried-and-tested method worked again, and those pictures and sounds gradually disappeared. .


    Maybe it took only a minute, or maybe it took an hour, Ryan''s mood stabilized, and he became that talented and somewhat weird genius boy!


    Just after lying quietly on the bed, whether it is in the past or this life, the past that was suppressed by him can''t help but rush to my heart one by one.


    ¡­¡­


    In the newly renovated movie theater, a wonderful movie has just been screened. People walking out of the theater are still discussing the ending of the movie. A young projectionist who has just finished his work comes to the hall.


    "Lu Ming!"


    A girl full of youth and vitality, with a ponytail, walked over quickly, took the arm of the projectionist, and said happily, "I passed the interview with the city TV station and will be a music editor next week. !"


    "That''s great!" The person named Lu Ming was obviously also very happy. Then he seemed to think of something and asked, "An Xin, don''t you want to study at the Beijing Film Academy? Give up?"


    "Give up!" The girl tugged her ponytail, "Although I want to be a big star, but the domestic entertainment industry... Besides, it''s not bad to be a producer in the future!"


    Several years later, the girl has become a small famous music producer. Lu Ming is still an unremarkable projectionist in the theater, and after watching too many movies, he will always fall into delusion.


    "No! No! No!" Lu Ming said to his girlfriend, shaking his fingers, "An Xin, in my opinion, the so-called art films, especially European art films, are things that moan without disease. Those so-called artists are simply I don¡¯t know what the audience wants to watch. Don¡¯t forget, the movie is first an entertainment tool, and then something else."


    "You disrespect art!" The girl argued. Such disputes have often occurred over the past few years. "If I had chosen another path, I might have become a leading Chinese actress. I would use the cash in the movie to make you See what real art is!"


    ¡­¡­


    Ryan? Jenkins! Remember what you should do and what you should not do! Don''t let the person who loves you be disappointed!


    The boy shakes off the past in his mind, puts on his clothes a few times and quickly finishes washing, walks out of the room, just listened quietly, and came to the kitchen.


    "I''m sorry, Nicole." Ryan lowered his head, seeming to sincerely apologize for the indecent incident in the morning.


    "It''s okay, Ryan." Nicole smiled, the look on her face was somewhat unnatural, but the boy hung his head and didn''t notice it.


    "Go to the restaurant and wait, breakfast will be ready soon."


    Seeing Ryan''s extremely rare obedient, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking of the things done in the room and the scenes he thought, he couldn''t help cursing, "Nicole Kidman, what are you thinking? , You are not a bastard!"


    This is the last meal two people ate in the Westwood District apartment. There was less laughter and more silence. Whether it was Ryan or Nicole, they just lowered their heads to deal with the breakfast on the plate.


    "Ryan, do you need me to help you pack?" Nicole Kidman asked after breakfast.


    "If needed, I will call you." He walked into the room, beat his head hard, and started packing his own things.


    Throughout the morning, the clothes, musical instruments, and the most precious manuscripts and scores were all packed, and the rest can be handed over to the housekeeping company. At the villa, Jinsli had already found a servant, so don''t worry.


    Finally, Ryan took out a box with a fancy necklace made of white gold and a pendant inlaid with broken diamonds at the bottom. This is the necklace after his rebirth. Ryan Jenkins¡¯s name comes from The floral English on the pendant.


    ¡­¡­Collection~Ticket~Come on

 Chapter 47： Jenkins Act

    The color of the villa is mainly off-white, and it looks a bit cold, just like Nicole''s temperament. Both bedrooms are on the second floor, but they are separated by a long distance, whether intentionally or unintentionally.


    Ryan¡¯s bedroom is three times larger than before. Connected to it is a large cloakroom. Although the newly-purchased piano, desks, bookshelves, and glass showcases filled with small golden figures fill a lot of space, there is still some open.


    After finishing the manuscripts and musical instruments, Ryan placed the photo of him and Nicole in the most conspicuous place, and hung the platinum necklace on the frame. Perhaps for other orphans, this necklace will have It has an extraordinary meaning, but for him, this is just an extremely beautiful necklace. He has no interest in who his parents are in this world.


    There is also a separate phone installed in the room, so that it will be more convenient for arguing with Natalie in the future, so that after every phone call, Nicole thinks they have quarreled again.


    Thinking of Natalie, Ryan dialed the phone in New York. After hearing Mrs. Shelly¡¯s shout, there was a rush of footsteps, followed by Natalie¡¯s voice.


    "Ryan? Why did I call you and no one answered?"


    "Nicole and I just moved. Here are the new phone numbers and addresses. Please write them down."


    "It turned out to be like this." Natalie asked for paper and pen, and then said, "I haven''t congratulated you yet, Mr. Best Supporting Actor!"


    Although it is a congratulatory sentence, Ryan can feel the sour taste even if the two are thousands of miles apart.


    "Come on, Nat, haven''t you read today''s newspaper? Are you complaining to Joe? Passy. They almost named me by name and said I was not worthy of this little golden man, and said that I won by Public relations."


    "Those tabloids always like to attack you. Isn''t it normal for them to say that? Didn''t you read the three major newspapers? They are all praising you for your achievements last year." Very rare, Natalie actually relieved him.


    Ryan is just joking. There will be such a voice after every Oscar. People have natural sympathy for the losers. Besides, even God can''t get everyone''s praise, let alone him.


    "Nat, if I write you a script, would you play it?" After a few more chats, Ryan asked tentatively. After all, Natalie has some pride and ambition of her own, and she always has to find out before acting. If the attitude is self-defeating, it will not be worth the loss.


    "Hmm..." The other end of the phone seemed to be thinking, and after a while, Natalie said, "If it''s "Home Alone", forget it."


    "I promise, absolutely not."


    It is rare that the two did not quarrel on the phone and hung up. Ryan thought carefully and recalled that Natalie is still too young now, and it has caused a lot of controversy in her previous life. Let''s wait for a while. .


    However, if this work is produced by oneself, it will definitely attract overwhelming criticism, so that''s good, it can always block some bullets for the idols of the past life.


    Ok! He admitted that in his previous life, he was a fan of the other side''s brains. All the movies she had acted in had been seen more than once, even if she was just an inconspicuous supporting role, even if it was his least favorite literary and artistic film, even for a period of time. , Her figure was like a nightmare, circling in his mind until she stepped onto the Oscar stage and raised the little golden figure, when he saw her bloated body and the Frenchman around him, all All dreams are awake.


    Of course, although he is a bit crazy and obsessed, he will never destroy his idol in a single shot like a fan of John Lennon, nor will he try to attract the attention of an idol like a fan of Judy Foster. To assassinate the President of the United States.


    Although filled with a lot of furniture, the villa is only occupied by him and Nicole. It still looks a bit empty, but the benefits are equally obvious. Not to mention that Ryan will no longer cause protests from neighbors when practicing musical instruments, and the paparazzi alone will be less harassed. A lot.


    The door of the villa is equipped with a surveillance camera system. If those guys dare to break into the house privately, just wait to eat in prison. What''s more, here is Beverly Hills, rich and famous, and you can easily share most of the money. Firepower.


    ...


    When facing consortia and capital, whether it is a reporter or a paparazzi, they will be cautious. They know very well what kind of power money has in this country, but when their opponent is the dean of a welfare institution, or As a black dean, the energy they can exert can be imagined.


    If it is the government or the police, you may also need to consider the legality of the procedure, but these guys who don¡¯t mind going to **** in person in order to chase the news, buy, disguise, instigate rebellion, etc., do everything they want, not to mention, most of the US Anyone with a discerning eye actually knows what an orphanage looks like.


    Three days, only three days, all the past of the Norston Welfare Institute were dug up by them, published in newspapers, and presented to the people of the United States.


    To put it simply, before 1986, this orphanage did not have many problems, but after the old dean retired and the new dean took over, it became a **** for orphans.


    Child abuse, deduction of funds, trampling on adoption laws and children¡¯s laws, arbitrary misappropriation of other people¡¯s property, etc., almost in a day, all fell on the head of Black Pig Messi, and this heart and her A woman with the same black skin as her, instantly became famous all over the country.


    As a related report in the newspaper came out, someone soon remembered the article in the California Independent. They immediately understood why Ryan Jenkins had not said thank you to the dean. After encountering such an incident, he would also like to express his gratitude to her. It would not be a super genius, but a super stupid.


    At the same time, "California Independent" has also become the target of all media criticism, even if some of them are their comrades in the same trench.


    On this azure blue planet, no matter which country it is, political correctness is essential. What''s more, it also involves ¡®freedom¡¯ and ¡®human rights¡¯.


    The reporter who wrote the article could only get out of the newspaper office in a desperate manner, while the editor-in-chief of the "California Independent" personally apologized to Ryan on the front page.


    The police quickly took control of Ms. Messi and several black helpers. They were not just a matter of apologizing, they would face several felony charges.


    The incident did not end here. Many large media began to discuss the status quo of the National Welfare Institute and the adoption law, calling on the whole society to give more care to orphans. The Supreme Court should review the current adoption law to fill the loopholes in it to prevent Some people will profit from it.


    At this time, it is not just paper media. Even the three major television networks have joined in. This topic has become the focus of the nation.


    Although Ryan single-handedly detonated the incident, the subsequent development was completely beyond his expectation. He did not expect that such a seemingly simple thing would have caused a great discussion in the United States, and he has also gained a lot from it. the benefits of.


    The most direct thing is fame. If his influence in the past was only in the film and literary circles, but now, he has become a celebrity in the United States. In a short time, the limelight has overshadowed the US military that just won the Gulf War.


    Under the great discussion and pressure in the United States, the revised "Adoption Law" was soon released. In order to distinguish the old version, the media and the public simply called it the "Jenkins Act"!


    The unscrupulous boy, in this way, carved his unique mark in the history of the United States.


    After the incident subsided a bit, Ryan asked Ms. Kinsley to donate one million US dollars to the American Orphans Charity Foundation in his own name. The money was not too much, but she could earn a good reputation for herself. Why not For it.


    Sitting in front of the piano in the living room, Ryan¡¯s slender fingers were placed on the black and white keys of the piano, and "Moonlight Sonata" seemed unusually cheerful, just like his mood at the moment.


    He admitted that he was never a broad-minded person, and he would be grateful for people who are kind to him, such as Nicole, but for those who offend him, he would also take revenge by unscrupulous means, even if he waited for several years.


    In this country that is extremely pursuing personal freedom, there is no famous saying that has been cut in half¡ªrepaying grievances by virtue, how can you repay virtue!


    The media is discussing the topic of welfare homes and orphans. UU read and he is the focus of this incident. He can only hide at home at this time. Otherwise, as long as he shows up anywhere in Los Angeles, it won¡¯t take much. Minutes will become the target of chase and interception.


    Speaking of it, this semester is more than the last semester. How can I say last semester there is more than a month spent in school, and the time in school this semester can be counted with two slaps, if it is not the school Judging from the sponsorship he donated, I am afraid that he has received a warning for expulsion long ago.


    Last year was a busy year, and it was also a huge harvest. Not to mention himself, but Nicole Kidman, because of his relationship, he broke into Hollywood no longer with a vase but with the image of acting school. Also settled down smoothly.


    Of course, no one would ignore her glamorous appearance. With the nomination for Best Supporting Actress and the sale of "Night Sleep in Seattle", many advertisers waved checks to come to her door, although she was far from the previous life when she shot a four-minute commercial. The exaggeration of earning millions of dollars has completely bulged her pockets. Moreover, her remuneration has gradually reached the level of first-line Hollywood actresses.


    "Ryan, are you ready? We should set off." Nicole wore a bright red evening gown and walked into the living room.


    "Nicole, I was ready an hour ago." Looking at Nicole who was dressed up, Ryan sighed. It takes time and effort for a woman to dress up. This time it''s not bad. He waited for her on the day of Oscar. Four full hours.


    They are going to a charity dinner. The organizer is Gerald, the director of Warner''s film business. Most of the people invited are people in the entertainment and media circles. As the hottest two of them last year, they were naturally invited by him.

 Chapter 48： charity dinner

    Today is March 30th. Although five days have passed since the Oscars night, when the two people were traveling out of the car, several cars and motorcycles were immediately attached to the back. You don¡¯t need to go to see, Ryan also knows that he is waiting. The paparazzi outside the villa followed.


    Strictly speaking, today¡¯s charity dinner has a great relationship with him. It was the orphan topic that exploded two days ago that prompted the entertainment and media circles to act together. Time Warner led the organization of this donation event for orphans across the United States.


    As night fell, Ryan and the two arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, where the dinner was held.


    Just like all public charity dinners, there is a short red carpet before entering the hotel, but Ryan and Nicole did not stay too much, just let the reporter take a few photos, and they were led by the waiter Next, walked into the grand banquet hall.


    This is a large banquet hall with hundreds of square feet. It is said that sometimes the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is held here. There is not only a spacious stage, but also many independent rest rooms on both sides.


    Because there were media reports on the scene, the dinner was very formal. Listening to the soothing music played by the band on the stage, Ryan followed the waiter to the table that belonged to both of them. This position was not very good. It was a bit biased, but it was in line with the two. People''s status in Hollywood now.


    There are strange faces everywhere in the eye. Even if there are occasional acquaintances, Ryan just beckons. The presence of the media makes this a serious public occasion instead of an easy charity party.


    "It''s boring." Ryan shrugged and could only chat with Nicole.


    "Okay, my dear, don''t look like this, you are a big star now." Nicole smiled, and just saw Jinsli walk into the banquet hall and quickly stood up and beckoned to her.


    Ryan looked at the several large cameras that were set up, and said he wouldn¡¯t be able to broadcast live, right? Is this a charity or a show?


    Well, in fact, he knows very well that for most people in this circle, charity is just a show. After all, there are very few people like Michael Jackson who really want to help others.


    Not talking about others, just talking about himself and Nicole are definitely not the kind of people who really do charity, but if you donate a sum of money to give yourself a halo, as long as you have a normal head, you won¡¯t Refuse.


    "Are the items you donated ready?" Jinsli asked after sitting down.


    The evening party is not a direct donation, so there is no show value, but a charity auction after the small performance prepared by the organizer. As for the auction items, you have to see the donations of celebrities.


    "This is mine." Nicole took out a jewelry box, a pair of emerald earrings.


    "The original manuscript of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone"." Ryan took out a file bag from Nicole''s handbag and handed it directly to Jinsli. She can do this.


    "Ryan, you are really willing." Jinsli''s eyes jumped. In her opinion, this manuscript may be inconspicuous now, but as Harry Potter gets hotter, it will become a treasure in the future.


    "It doesn''t matter, in my idea, Harry Potter has many parts, besides, I can buy them back." Ryan waved his hand indifferently.


    After Jinsli left, Ryan was quickly attracted by a person next to the table. He was different from other men¡¯s dresses in suits and leather shoes. He was wearing a black turtleneck pullover, blue Reeves jeans, and his feet were still Wearing sports running shoes, on such a formal occasion, it looks different, or nondescript.


    Especially the disc eyes he wears, making his image a classic worshipped by countless people in previous lives.


    "The future will inevitably be the information age. The IT industry will not be depressed forever. At most two to three years, it will enter a period of rapid development, just like the present..."


    The Apple founder is giving his missionary speech to the people around him. His drooling and passionate look is really impressive. Fortunately, he still knows what the occasion is and keeps his voice down as much as possible.


    "Who is he? Why does he look crazy?" Nicole Kidman asked curiously.


    "Steve Jobs! The founder of Apple Computer." Ryan was very interested and listened for a while.


    I have to say that although Jobs is arrogant, paranoid, and irritable, and his reputation is not very good, the scandal of the illegitimate daughter has never been broken, but he is indeed a very remarkable person, even if he was swept out by Apple, he is now in his life. The lowest point, but never discouraged.


    "Apple is in the quagmire of losses, Microsoft is tepid, and Intel and Texas Instruments have not made breakthroughs in chip technology. I don''t think the IT industry will flourish." The people at the table obviously disagreed with his opinion and began to refute. .


    "No, no, no." Ryan suddenly leaned out and interrupted, "I think everyone has used computers? How are computers now compared to ten years ago? And over time, computer technology will only be updated. Faster and faster, one day in the future, not too far away, at most ten years, computers will become a necessity in our work and life."


    "But now many companies have problems, such as Apple, which is losing money continuously." The person who rebutted him turned out to be a child. While a little shocked, more of them were unkind.


    "It''s true. Today''s Apple is not as good as before." Ryan nodded first, and when the guy showed a triumphant smile, he said, "Because Apple has had a big problem with its technical update, and now it''s just eating the old one. Boss, they want to get out of this predicament. In my opinion, it''s very simple."


    "Very simple?" The man pouted his lips, obviously not taking what a kid said seriously.


    "Of course." Ryan looked at Steve Jobs, "As long as Apple invites his founder back, all this will be solved."


    As if to cooperate with him, Jobs''s chin was slightly raised, but Ryan knew that the opponent was just a habitual movement.


    That person also had an argument with a child in this regard. After a little hum, he left the table.


    "Hello, Mr. Jobs." Ryan didn''t move forward, but owed slightly, "I''m Ryan Jenkins, I''m glad to meet you."


    Steve Jobs just nodded to him. Although the other party''s words fit his appetite, he has no interest in dealing with a teenage boy.


    Although the information seen in the previous life may not be reliable, Ryan does not mind that it can reflect some of Jobs''s personality. If even five years older, he will go to the relationship with Jobs to talk about the future, but now, I have it. Well, who cares about an eleven-year-old child.


    "I don''t like him, he is too arrogant." When Ryan turned around, Nicole glared at him without a trace.


    "It''s true that few people like him."


    Ryan shook his head. If Jobs didn''t offend people, how could he be swept out by the company he founded?


    He holds a treasure in his hand! However, he who is losing money now has blood in his heart, and it is said that he wants to let go.


    The banquet officially began soon. Several celebrities said very briefly, and the singing and dancing performance kicked off. Several popular singers sang one after another. Ryan also saw several familiar faces, such as Whitney. Houston, Maria Kelly and Celine Dion.


    After a short singing and dancing, it was a charity auction, and the host was not a professional auctioneer, but Ubi Goldenberg.


    To be honest, her style is not suitable for hosting such occasions. Ryan looked at the directors of Time Warner ahead and said to his heart that their heads were flooded?


    Here, it is difficult to see the real high prices at the auction. Even if someone is tit-for-tat, they still have a taste. However, this situation soon broke down for a simple reason.


    "Wow, the following lot is absolutely unique in this world." Ubi Gordonborg''s eyes widened, "If I can, can I take it home?"


    "Okay, no kidding, the following lot is from Ryan Jenkins, the original manuscript of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone"."


    is indeed very different, especially for those with children in the family, their eyes light up.


    There was no reserve price for this auction, and soon a brand was erected.


    "20,000 dollars!"


    But then more signs were erected.


    "50 thousand dollars!"


    "100,000!"


    "$150,000Nicole raised the number plate in her hand without even thinking about it, "$200,000! "


    Two hundred thousand dollars to buy a manuscript of a novel that has become popular is not worth it, no one knows, but not only adults but also minors came to the scene.


    The little girl in the front row belonged to the Hilton family table. After begging a few words in her father''s ear, she raised her number plate, "US$250,000!"


    Nicole Kidman will naturally not let Ryan''s manuscript fall into the hands of others, and bid again, "300,000 US dollars!"


    The little girl whispered a few words in her father''s ear, but her father shook his head resolutely. The girl turned her head and gave Nicole a fierce look. She was very cute.


    Harry Potter¡¯s original manuscript is indeed precious, but it¡¯s incomparable in value to the artworks donated by celebrities and wealthy people. If Ryan takes out this manuscript in ten years or twenty years, it will be in that form. Will be transferred.


    Besides, in the eyes of others, he is only eleven years old, and he is so prolific, there is still uncertainty about how many manuscripts he will have in the future.


    Similarly, Ryan won''t let Nicole''s belongings fall into the hands of other people, and after some bidding, he put the emerald earrings into the bag.


    With the two checks sent out, their task can be said to have been successfully completed. Ryan whispered in Nicole''s ear and walked towards the bathroom, but when she came out, she found a little girl waiting next to the sink.


    ...I''m on the pants push, and I will post a chapter first~~seeking collection~seeking recommendation, rushing to the list~~~

 Chapter 49： question

    The little girl is wearing a small pink dress with lace trim, wearing a pair of pink round-toed leather boots, and even the platinum curly hair is tied with a big pink bow. It looks cute and beautiful, just like a fairy tale world. The little princess who came out in the middle.


    "Are you Ryan Jenkins?" The girl asked first, then proudly raised her chin, "I have something to do with you."


    Ryan squeezed his fingers and had the urge to smash the floor. Even though the opponent is still young, he already has a six-point appearance when he grows up, plus his iconic platinum blonde hair and a pink dress. If you still don''t recognize her as Paris Hilton, you should really hit the wall.


    Could it be that he is so connected to the Fallen Girl? First Lindsay Rohan, now Paris Hilton, he has no doubt that Britney Spears will jump in front of him someday in the future.


    "Excuse me, are you?" After all, I have seen too many big stars in this life, and Ryan is calm.


    "My name is Paris Hilton. It doesn''t matter if you don''t know me, this hotel is owned by my house." The little girl was triumphant.


    "Ms. Paris, may I ask if you have anything to do with me?" Ryan is still not salty or indifferent.


    Paris Hilton wrinkled her nose, obviously dissatisfied with his attitude, "I like the Harry Potter series very much. Can you keep that manuscript for me? I will buy it when I save enough money. Also, When will the next episode of Harry Potter be published? If you write it, can you let me watch it first?"


    Ryan¡¯s mouth trembled, and said to her heart, Miss, it seems that we are not familiar at all, don¡¯t you think this request is too much?


    "I''m sorry, I should go back." Ryan didn''t answer at all, and wanted to go around her.


    "Hey, did you hear what I said?"


    Who knows, the other party didn''t hold back and took his arm directly.


    Ryan frowned and could only stop. Now Paris Hilton is just a spoiled child, and he doesn''t need to care about her.


    "Ryan~What are you doing here? The auction is over." Maybe Nicole Kidman found him after seeing him for a long time.


    "It''s nothing, let''s go." Ryan circled flexibly, went to the other side, and blocked Paris Hilton with Nicole''s body.


    "Let''s go." Nicole probably saw something, took the boy''s hand, and strode forward.


    At this time, the auction has just ended, but not many people left. After all, this is a very social occasion. There are many people walking around, and some men and women enter the lounges on both sides of the banquet hall to discuss business. , It is still unclear whether it is to build relationships, or to do something inappropriate for children.


    Pulling Nicole, Ryan walked towards his table against the passage on the wall. When passing by the door of the first lounge, he met Gerald and a black woman.


    "Mr. Gerald, and Miss Houston, hello."


    Ryan and Nicole simply greeted them and continued to walk forward, probably because the door of a lounge in front was not closed, and the sound of the TV came from inside, vaguely. I can hear from time to time, which TV station seems to be taking stock of the major events that occurred on March 30 of the previous year.


    "Do you really think Ryan Jenkins is a super genius? To tell you the truth, I knew him and Nicole Kidman as early as 1989. He was just spoiled by Nicole Kidman. It¡¯s just a child who doesn¡¯t have the talents mentioned in the media at all."


    Ryan didn''t mean to eavesdrop, but the door of the lounge was ajar, these words naturally fell into his and Nicole''s ears, especially, the voice was a bit familiar.


    "But now there is almost no voice of doubt in Hollywood?" It seems that other people disagree.


    "Then do you think he could really write a love script like "Night Sleep in Seattle" when he was ten? I dare to bet on my Bentley sports car, it''s definitely not..."


    Feeling tight in his hands, Ryan hurriedly pulled Nicole. The Australian girl''s face was covered with ice, she was obviously in anger. He had no doubt that Nicole Kidman would kick open the door of the lounge. He slapped the person who slandered him inside.


    "Forget it, Nicole." Ryan shook his head slightly at her, pulling Nicole and wanted to walk away...


    "Yeah, Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman really can''t afford a creative team, but don''t forget, that Australian woman is a **** stunner, and her beauty can rank top even in Hollywood. , Maybe those gunmen admire her very much, but she used her body to exchange those works for Ryan Jenkins. With her **** body, let alone raising a creative team, there is no problem with raising two. ."


    The sound in the lounge is getting louder and louder, as if to be heard by all the people in the banquet hall, but some people passing by this passage have already heard the words inside and looked at Ryan with strange eyes. And Nicole.


    "So, don''t talk about super geniuses, when Nicole Kidman gets old and faded, wait and see, can he continue to be genius..."


    Ryan''s fists were clenched tighter and tighter. If these people slander him, he would only be a mad dog barking, but these people slander the person he cares about most in this life, and he can guess from the half-open lounge door , The people inside must have done it deliberately. They just want people passing by outside to hear these words and let these rumors circulate throughout Hollywood. The sinister intentions are visible.


    "Ryan..."


    Nicole looked at the boy worriedly. She couldn''t understand him anymore, knowing that he was on the verge of exploding now, but there was no time to say anything.


    Ryan let go of the hand he was holding, walked quickly to the door of the lounge, kicked on the door violently, and the loud "banging" noise spread throughout the banquet hall.


    "Which mad dog didn''t leash and came here to bite people?" Ryan rushed in unceremoniously, and threw the sarcasm like a knife.


    "Uh¡­¡­"


    The people in ¡¡¡¡ didn''t seem to expect that these slanderous words would actually call the master over.


    Ryan also didn''t expect that there was an acquaintance in it¡ªthe owner of those words was Tom Cruise!


    "Mr. Cruise, this is the demeanor of a big star? Ha~ I really should let the people across America listen to how you slander a child and a lady! Let them see, under this handsome face is hidden What an ugly face!"


    Obviously, Ryan has gone violently, and he blurted out all kinds of sarcasm no matter what the occasion is.


    Nicole Kidman also broke in at this time, and saw two men, one big and one small, facing each other. They didn''t understand what was going on. While worrying about Ryan, they secretly cried out luck.


    Fortunately, when I had a slight liking for Tom Cruise, it was because of Ryan¡¯s opposition, and he was abruptly cut off. Otherwise, if I really want to associate or even get married with such a glamorous person and dirty inside, what will I get? The end of the game can be imagined.


    Because of the loud noise, not only Nicole, but more people poured in from outside. Ryan glanced at him and said that he was going to play big this time. The people behind were not only Hollywood stars, but also There are senior executives from film companies such as Gerald, Ron Meyer, and Michael Eisner.


    Especially, there is also a mixture of media interviewing in the banquet hall! A few reporters are carrying cameras on their shoulders!


    There are people who understand what happened, and quickly explained it to the people around them. The eyes of these people looking at the field were a little unnatural, especially the eyes looking at Ryan, which were somewhat sympathetic.


    Perhaps Tom Cruise is nothing against the seven major film companies, but he has an absolute advantage over Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman. The power is more than just talking.


    More and more people gathered, Tom Cruise''s originally somewhat dazed expression quickly changed. Looking at the aggressive boy opposite, he couldn''t help but think of his pranks on himself, and the Australian woman who didn''t know good or bad, since it happened. At this point, even if it is for the sake of face, he will kill him!


    "Ryan, we have known each other for two years now, who are you? I still don''t know. Could it be that what I just said was not the truth?"


    "Really? Mr. Cruise, what did you say, dare you say it again now?" Ryan glanced at the camera without a trace.


    Although Tom Cruise is arrogant and arrogant, he is not a fool. If he slanders Nicole Kidman and says it again in front of so many people, then he will really lose his reputation.


    Similarly, he will not let go of this opportunity to hit him What can''t you do? "Sleepless in Seattle" is a love theme that cannot be created by your age! Also, I suspect that other movie scripts are not your original! "


    I always remember the taste of washing your face with chili water!


    In just a short moment, Tom Cruise made a plan, even if these works were created by him, as long as he follows his pace, he will make Ryan Jenkins fame today, and even say no. He must be completely finished.


    "It''s a pity, even if you deny it, those are still my works!" Ryan opened up the mockery very simply.


    "is it?"


    Tom Cruise suddenly laughed, "You ask these people present, how many people really believe that it is your work?"


    Ryan doesn''t have to look back, and knows that in the eyes of those behind, there will definitely be a look of suspicion. This is inevitable. If there are important people, when they doubt him in public, his age is destined to be difficult to convince people.


    "Ryan, don''t everyone say that you are a super genius? Let us see how genius you are." Tom Cruise also showed a mocking smile, "As long as you are now Write a script..."


    "What if I made it up?" Ryan also laughed, really seeking his own way!


    ...... That¡¯s all for today, and two more tomorrow~ Thank you for your support~ Please recommend~ Please collect~


    In addition, thank you Han Tianfeng, LVVV, &Depressed Doudou&, oerpjwejo... etc. friends for their rewards

 Chapter 50： Dead end

    Tom Cruise is calm, so what if Ryan Jenkins can make up a script? I can say that this script was memorized before, and at best it can only prove that his memory is better.


    Even though this reason is somewhat reluctant, it is enough to get him out.


    Originally, he just wanted to create some rumors. In this circle, as long as the spread of the rumors is wide enough to cause fatal harm to a newcomer who has just started his career, the entertainment industry is just a breeding ground for rumors, and there are many false ones. , Then it becomes real.


    He is a superstar, he is just a child star. As long as he has a reason to stand up, he will inevitably bring a monstrous disturbance to this nasty little guy in the future. What he wants to destroy is his psychology~


    The other party is less than twelve years old. If doubts are overwhelming, it is almost certain that he will have a mental breakdown, and then, like countless meteors flashing by in Hollywood...


    He washed his face with hot pepper water, ruining his appointment, and he remembered all the cynicism on the phone.


    Although he can''t guess what the opponent is thinking, Ryan understands that Tom Cruise is definitely not a fool, but does he really know who he is facing?


    He is not facing Ryan Jenkins and Lu Ming, but a collection of all Hollywood creative ideas in the next twenty years.


    Ryan knew well that as his fame continued to grow, some heavyweights would come forward to question him sooner or later, but he didn¡¯t expect that this day would come so quickly, or on such occasions, and the person on the other side would still It''s him!


    Ok! Brother Tom, I just wanted to separate you and Nicole, so from today, we will be on the line!


    "Ryan, don''t force it, you apologize to me, I just take it as it never happened."


    Seeing Ryan lowered his head and said nothing, Tom Cruise thought he had mastered the initiative, and smiled brightly.


    "be quiet!"


    Ryan''s voice was not too loud, but it was unusually loud. The discussion in the lounge disappeared without a trace. Everyone''s eyes were on him. In this way, the sound of the TV set was on the contrary. Stand out.


    "Mr. Gerald, I need a few people with very good shorthand skills!"


    "no problem."


    Everyone realized what was going to happen, and there was a faint expression of excitement on their faces. Before Gerald called someone, several reporters jumped out. These guys are all masters of pens.


    Ryan lowered his head and turned around in the rest room, looking for the right movie in his mind, but the messy TV sound made his already excited emotions even more difficult to calm down.


    frowned, he took the remote control and wanted to turn off the TV, but was attracted by the screen and broadcast on the TV.


    He didn¡¯t know which weird TV station it was. He was counting on the major events that occurred on March 30 of the previous year. "On March 30, 1981, the newly appointed US President Ronald Reagan was in the Hilton Hotel in the Capital District of Columbia. The murderer was John Hinckley, a crazy fan of Judy Foster..."


    At the same time, the chaotic scene appeared on the TV screen. Ryan happened to see the shot of two bodyguards rushing towards the murderer, and immediately remembered a classic movie.


    He looked at the reporters who were writing, "Be faster, I don''t guarantee that I will remember the plot and the passages I said later."


    "Record!"


    "Frank Farmer, he is an agent serving Ronald Reagan, on this day!" Ryan pointed to the TV screen, which was analyzing the cause of Reagan''s assassination. "He was invited because his mother was buried. Fake, after the president was assassinated, he resigned with guilt. Later he became a professional bodyguard. He has a strong sense of responsibility and a clear distinction between public and private. He never had feelings with his employer."


    Then, I saw Judy Foster in the crowd and smiled apologetically to her, "Rachel is a world-renowned singer, and the fans are crazy about her. One of them seems to be for Judy was as crazy as John Hinckley, and he kept sending her letters saying that he would take her life."


    Listening to Ryan''s words, everyone gradually understood what was going on. Obviously, he got the inspiration from the TV show. This should be the basic setting of the hero and heroine.


    "The first scene of the first scene, the location, the dark underground parking lot."


    "Voiceover: Continuous gunfire!"


    "Flac Farmer leaned on the car, shot and killed an assailant..."


    Ryan lowered his head and turned in circles in the lounge, sometimes dancing with his hands, making inexplicable gestures, sometimes closing his eyes and meditating, seeming to be conceiving the picture, even if there is occasional pause, it will not last too long, those amazing bridges and Words, constantly uttered from his mouth, turned into words recorded by reporters.


    "Water!" Ryan yelled. Nicole had already prepared the juice and hurriedly put it into his hand.


    With Ryan''s narration and the continuation of time, the mouths of the people present grew wider and wider, and some people who did not deal with Tom Cruise looked at it with sarcasm and sneer.


    Tom Cruise was pale, his arms dropped weakly, and he sat on the sofa blankly. In his eyes, Ryan Jenkins had already done nothing and did not leave him a way out.


    If the other party compiles other scripts, he can still easily argue, but it is clear that the story he is constructing is inspired by the TV show. Whether it is a big star or an assassin, you can see Judy Foo. The shadows of Sturt and John Hinckley come.


    Especially, this is still the romance script that he questioned the most.


    Of course, he can still quibble, but who are the people present? Hollywood celebrities! Media reporter! The top of the film company! Are they all fools? Even if he was Tom Cruise, he still couldn''t see enough in front of them.


    Unknowingly, nearly three hours later, Ryan drank the third glass of juice, gave Nicole a relieved look, and continued talking.


    "Scene 47, Act 5. Location, private airport."


    "Rachel bid farewell to Frank and stepped onto the plane. Frank and her new bodyguard made a gesture to protect her. Rachel looked through the window of the plane and gave Frank a look."


    "Camera transition: The plane started up and slowly drove onto the runway. Rachel looked at Frank again and shouted to the pilot, ¡®Stop!¡¯"


    "Rachel got off the plane and rushed towards Frank."


    "Voice-over, voice-over...I need a soulful and explosive song to let all the depressed feelings of the whole play be released here!"


    Ryan seemed a little anxious, patted his forehead hard, and whispered, "Damn it!"


    "Continue recording!"


    "Rachel rushed in front of Frank, and the two hugged and kissed affectionately!"


    "Lens changes, 720 degrees rotation!"


    "Song, I need a love song!" In the eyes of other people, Ryan seemed to be crazy. He clapped his palm hard and shouted, "Piano! I need a piano! Nicole, give me paper and pen! "


    "There is a piano on the stage!" someone reminded.


    Ryan separated the crowd and strode onto the stage of the banquet hall. There was a grand piano on it. Everyone followed, no one went to see Tom Cruise again.


    Sitting in front of the piano, Ryan squinted and was completely immersed in his own world. It was not until a long time later that his slender fingers fell on the black and white keys.


    At the beginning, the piano had no rhythm or tune, as if someone who didn''t understand music was playing indiscriminately, but Nicole knew Ryan very well and put paper and pen in front of him.


    Next, Ryan¡¯s performance became even stranger. Every time he played for a while, he would take pen and paper to write and draw. People with sharp eyes could see that the paper was quickly covered with musical notes. There are things like lyrics, and with the passage of time, the original messy piano sound gradually turned into a beautiful tune.


    "Boom!"


    Ryan pressed his hands on the keys again, seeming to be talking to himself, and also seeming to say to the people around, "Time! I need time! I want to re-arrange the music!"


    After ¡¡¡¡ said, he didn''t care about the people around him at all, and repeated the previous actions.


    Half an hour passed by silently, everyone in the field held their breath tightly, looking at the boy who was a little crazy, a little obsessed, and seemed to be completely immersed in his own world.


    Now, although they don''t know what Ryan will do next, but only with the script just now, they all believe that Ryan Jenkins is definitely his X''s super genius!


    "If I stay, I will become your bondage, but I know that every step I take will think of you, so I will always love you, I will always love you!"


    Ryan''s voice suddenly rang. It was a cappella without any accompaniment, tactfully and full of magnetism, not like a song that a child could sing.


    After a midrange, the piano accompaniment sounded. Although there was only one instrument accompaniment, it was a little monotonous, but with Ryan''s singing, it seemed so perfect. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be quiet. Only him and the piano are left.


    "And..."


    Ryan¡¯s tone is constantly rising, as if he wants to use his high-pitched singing voice to set off the bodyguard and the fire-like feelings with the big stars in the script.


    "Nicole, stop him quickly." Whitney Houston reminded Nicole Kidman, "This will hurt the vocal cords..."


    Fortunately, Ryan is still a bit self-aware. After a low cough, he stopped quickly, squeezing the part of his throat with a blushing face, "Damn! This kind of explosive singing is really not my age. The vocal cords can bear it!"


    "Flap! Pop!"


    I don¡¯t know who slapped the palm first, UU Reading Then everyone applauded, the enthusiastic voice seemed to lift the roof up, they were witnessing the birth of a miracle with their own eyes Excited, no one would doubt this boy anymore.


    At this time, if anyone dared to say that kind of suspicion, and even just need to show suspicion, they can directly use applause and drown him with saliva.


    "Sign him! Sign him! Be sure to let the company sign him at all costs!" Warner''s director Gerald repeated excitedly. If it wasn''t for Nicole Kidman, he would be here, saying no They would just rob someone and run away.


    "Again!" Nicole came over with a water glass, "Is it all right?"


    "Cough~" Ryan drank the water and squeezed her eyes at Nicole, "Don''t worry."


    Then he looked at Whitney Houston, "Miss Houston, can you come over?"


    Whitney Houston was a little puzzled, but he still walked onto the stage, and the first thing he saw was the incomparably chaotic sheet music.


    Ryan explained, "In my imagination, this song needs a very wide range and is more suitable for female singers to sing. This is also written for the heroine! At my age, I can''t sing that feeling at all. Come."


    Note: In reality, "I.Will.Always.Love.You" is an old song from 1973, and Whitney Houston re-arranged it. Because of the plot needs, it has changed. Don''t worry about it!


    ...A new week, ask for collection~recommendation ticket~make new book list~~

 Chapter 51： Its ok?

    Although she only listened to a short paragraph, with Whitney Houston¡¯s musical literacy, she can naturally hear something from it. Combined with the script just now, she suddenly realized that this is an opportunity that can make her career bigger. Opportunity to advance.


    Under her gaze, the crazy, genius, monster-like boy, and his skillful technique, re-transcribed the messy music score and handed it to her.


    "Miss Houston, I think this song is more suitable for your singing voice." Ryan''s face was a little pale and seemed to consume too much energy.


    Whitney Houston took it. Unlike the many changes in the score, the lyrics are very simple, and even the chorus part has only one lyrics. She savored it carefully and hummed it softly. The more she sang, the brighter her eyes. .


    Having worked hard in the pop music industry for so many years, she knows very well that there is a kind of singer that will be popular for all songs, and there is a kind of song that will be popular for all singers. There is no doubt that this song is definitely the latter.


    Ryan was able to hear her singing at such a close distance, which was quite different from the impression. He immediately discussed with her and kept putting forward some opinions. Whitney Houston also kept singing softly, according to Ryan. En''s suggestions and his own understanding constantly adjust the singing.


    It was nearly midnight, and the banquet hall was still crowded with people. No one had the idea of ??leaving. What happened tonight far exceeded their cognition and opened their eyes. In their lifetime, I am afraid it will be difficult. Seen for the second time.


    It¡¯s not right to say that. There is a man who can¡¯t wait to fly his wings. He is Tom Cruise. Is there still suspense about the outcome now? Almost no one cares about this issue.


    Most people are watching and waiting. After Ryan Jenkins dictated the script, he spent more than half an hour composing the song. What does it look like? They all know that he can write novels, can write scripts, can draw shots and set drafts, and can also act in movies. After tonight, should he add the ability to write songs?


    Of course, there are still some people who pay attention to Tom Cruise, reporters who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, staring at the cream niche, for fear that he will leave without saying goodbye.


    Tom Cruise glared at them, especially the few guys who were anti-camera. If they were just ordinary reporters, he would have asked his assistant to grab the camera long ago, and it was a mess.


    However, it was NBC TV that reported the charity dinner today. Its current owner is General Motors, not the declining General Motors, but the world''s largest super giant General Electric by market value!


    About an hour later, the constant discussion and audition on the stage stopped. Ryan sat again in front of the piano, exchanged glances with Whitney Houston, and then the mellow female bass sounded.


    After the scale conversion, Ryan¡¯s fingers fell on the black and white keys, and the accompaniment tune began from low and slowly, slowly telling the love among lovers, and gradually turning to vigorous, and Whitney Houston¡¯s singing became more and more piercing. Through the power, especially the explosive''and'', the unique charm of the high pitch surging back and forth in the entire banquet hall.


    "Wow~"


    The applause rang like a tide. Even though this song has a little black soul music style, no one denies that it is a contagious and shocking love song. At the end of the script, the scene where the bodyguard and the big star''s relationship erupted. Simply complement each other.


    At this time, they also understand why Ryan Jenkins said that this song is not something he can interpret. Indeed, this kind of song that requires extremely explosive power can be sung by an eleven-year-old child?


    Frankly speaking, Ryan and Whitney Houston have cooperated for the first time, and there have been many flaws in the middle, but it is amazing to achieve the current effect. It can only be said that both of them have problems in music. Same as general attainments.


    exhaled and looked at the music score in his hand reluctantly, Whitney Houston handed it back to Ryan.


    "Keep it, Miss Houston." Ryan''s face turned paler, leaning on Nicole, and shook his head slightly.


    Whitney Houston''s face suddenly showed joy. She naturally understood the meaning of this sentence and quickly said, "I will let the company contact Ms. Jinsli as soon as possible."


    The crowd gathered under the stage suddenly divided into two sides. Tom Cruise walked onto the stage in full view. At this time, his face had returned to normal and he looked personable. He went straight to the opposite of Ryan and Nicole, slightly owed. Leaning.


    "Nicole, and Ryan, I apologize for my inappropriate words tonight, sorry."


    Despite smiling, his eyes flickered. No one would know what he actually thought.


    It¡¯s very simple to say. Tom Cruise understands that he is about to face a public relations crisis. Now he is pretending to be a posture, which can restore some impression points. If the two opposing people refuse to be forgiving and speak badly to him, the situation is uncertain It will get better.


    I have to say, Tom Cruise is superb acting, even if everyone does not believe that he will sincerely apologize, there is nothing on the surface.


    It''s a pity that he was facing someone who was acting every minute and every second. Ryan squeezed Nicole''s hand, smiled very gracefully, and replied first, "It''s okay, so be it, K. Mr. Ruth."


    It''s ok? How could it be okay! Seeing Tom Cruise walking off the stage and leaving quickly, Ryan is still smiling. Now he and Nicole have nothing to do with Tom Cruise, but they will have a long time to come.


    What''s more, in such public places, should he be yelled and fisted at each other? Don''t be kidding, it''s harmful and useless.


    "I''m tired, Nicole." Even just retelling the scenes in his head took a lot of his energy.


    "Okay, let''s go home." Nicole helped him up and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to hold you?"


    Ryan''s mouth trembled, "That will make me a joke for everyone, I''m not a kid who hasn''t grown up yet."


    The two of them just walked off the stage, and Warner¡¯s Gerald and others all came up, without them speaking, Nicole also understood what they wanted to do, and said quickly, "Mr. Gerald, Mr. Lisman, Ryan Exhausted too much energy, we are going home."


    It is indeed the case. Ryan''s face is pale, with sweat beads on his forehead, and it is obvious that he has some energy exhausted. These people are not good to say anything more, and let the way go.


    "Mr. Gerald." Ryan said suddenly, "Can someone send me the recorded script? You should be able to hear that the script only has the main plot, and many places need to be added."


    Even if Ryan narrated for nearly three hours, he only depicted the main plot. In the movie "Bodyguard", in addition to the plot of dog blood, the most fascinating ones are the songs, and he still has to recall. Out those songs, otherwise the movie will lose its color a lot.


    "No problem, can you tomorrow? I will send someone to Beverly Hills."


    "Well, goodbye, everyone."


    Seeing that the brother and sister depended on each other and slowly walked out of the banquet hall, everyone was a little bit emotional.


    "Blay, send the tape to the reception, what? Midnight? I don''t care so much, you just want me to fly over! I want the picture tonight to be on the morning news tomorrow!" The director of NBC is right. The reporter at hand roared wildly.


    Everyone realized the value of this piece of news. All those involved in the media industry took out their phones and started making calls. Even the practitioners of paper media, who had no control over anything else, rushed out of the hotel and drove towards the newspaper office frantically. go with.


    This night, the Los Angeles police caught many speeding resisters, many of whom were well-known newspaper and magazine editors and media professionals.


    "Quick! Quick! Organize the recorded script and bring it to me." Gerald was also busy, constantly issuing orders to his subordinates, and then he looked at those who were still studying music scores on the stage. Whitney Houston, "Whitney, come here."


    "What happened?" Whitney Houston walked over quickly.


    "Are you really stupid or fake?" Seeing her with a confused look, Gerald couldn''t laugh or cry. "Don''t you understand? Rachel in the script is a black female singer! The theme song must be her personally. Sing, Ryan Jenkins gave you the tune again. Isn¡¯t the meaning very clear?"


    "This¡­¡­"


    Whitney Houston realized that this is a good opportunity to be on the big screen as a heroine!


    Then, Gerald whispered to her, and she kept nodding her head, apparently agreeing with his opinion.


    Tom Cruise stepped up on the baffle and isolated himself from the back seat of the car. Only then did he reveal his hideous face. He could imagine that tomorrow morning, all the media would be overwhelmingly reporting on what happened tonight. , And he will become the clown in this farce!


    Who can think of it! Who would have thought that the guy actually narrated a script in only three hours, or based on the creativity and inspiration from the TV show he just watched. Let alone others, even he, the initiator, was shocked at the time. His brain is blank.


    I can¡¯t just forget it! Tom Cruise clenched his teeth, this matter is far from over!


    Jinsli was sitting in the co-pilot. She turned her head with some worry and looked at the two people in the back seat. What happened today was like riding a roller coaster.


    When they clashed with Tom Cruise, she was not there. After arriving, she couldn''t stop worrying, after all, the other party was a heavyweight in the circle.


    But what happened next completely subverted her cognition. She has known Ryan for two years, and she and him can be regarded as friends, but they have never seen such a crazy, violent side of this young man, and a full belly His talents are like the waters of the Pacific Ocean, inexhaustible!


    I am really lucky! When the car entered the villa, Jinsli had only this thought left in her head.

 Chapter 52： Invite

    "Last night, at a charity dinner hosted by the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, Tom Cruise had a verbal conflict with Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman. The cause of the incident was K. Mr. Ruth publicly questioned Ryan Jenkins¡¯s work as ghostwriting for others. In order to prove his innocence, Ryan was inspired by the "March 30th of the Year" program being broadcast on Fox TV. According to the assassination of President Reagan in 1981, A script was dictated on the spot..."


    Ryan lay crookedly on the sofa and switched to another TV station. This was a noon talk show.


    "Ryan Jenkins is a genius, but no one knows the extent of his genius. The admirable Mr. Tom Cruise, with the fearless spirit of sacrifice, let the people across the United States see how super geniuses create. An amazing scene from the script! At the same time, Mr. Cruise also staged a clown comedy for everyone."


    The host pointed to some photos taken on the spot and talked freely. All kinds of sarcasm in his mouth were given to Tom Cruise.


    "Hey, is this true? I heard that the latest computer technology can synthesize pictures?" His partner was extremely cooperative and made a questioning voice.


    "Okay. In order to block your mouth like Ryan blocked Tom Cruise''s mouth, let''s take a look at the scenes shot on the scene."


    Next, the edited images, from the conversation between the two in the lounge to Ryan''s crazy performance, appeared on the TV screen one by one.


    "My dear, don''t look at it, you still look bad." Nicole took the remote control and turned off the TV directly.


    "My brain is blank. It seems that I have over-exerted my brain." Ryan rubbed his forehead gently, soothing the slight headache. He did consume too much energy last night. He didn''t want to repeat this crazy scene.


    However, no one should dare to question him publicly in the future. Just this morning, NBC TV set aside a time slot to broadcast the full version of the video. You can imagine the impact.


    The tabloids who attacked him turned their guns one after another, and ready-made targets were delivered to the door. How could they let it go? All kinds of language attacking Tom Cruise were released. As for Ryan, they almost praised him. Going to heaven, these guys, as long as they can earn attention, they don''t care who the celebrities are madly criticized and who are the celebrities touted.


    It was only half a day, and all the messy opinions and voices jumped out. Of course, the media seemed to have a tacit understanding. They all unified their calibre. While criticizing Tom Cruise for not being a man, they praised the boy without a trace.


    "I strongly recommend that Miss Nicole Kidman take Ryan Jenkins to take an IQ test, and she will definitely get an amazing number!" This is an appeal made in a column by a reporter who witnessed the scene last night.


    Fortunately, this is not the Internet age, otherwise it will be uncertain what will happen, especially the fans on both sides, they will definitely fight.


    Nicole took the newspaper spread on the sofa aside, sat down, took Ryan''s shoulders, and gently rubbed his forehead for him. What this little guy did last night was really crazy.


    Frankly speaking, if it wasn''t for Ryan to hold her, she really wanted to slap Tom Cruise twice and openly bully a child, he would be embarrassed to do it? Well, Ryan is not acting like a child at all.


    "Is it better?" she asked softly.


    "It''s better, Nicole, your hands are like magic." Ryan grabbed one of her hands and pressed them to her cheek.


    Even though he said that, his eyes were slightly confused, as if he was thinking about something, Nicole sighed, he could be distracted at any moment.


    "Ryan, it''s time to go back to the room and change clothes. Gerald and Whitney Houston should be coming soon."


    "Okay." Ryan looked at the home clothes on her body, and could only swing upstairs.


    After coming back last night, even though he was very tired, he looked excited and could hardly fall asleep. Besides, as long as he remembered that handsome face, he could not wait to pour a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid on it.


    Of course, this can only be thought of. He doesn''t want to go to prison for a few years.


    He would never just let it go, yes! Now he has no confidence in the face of Tom Cruise, but he has an advantage that no one has.


    In his previous life, because of Nicole Kidman''s relationship, he has seen almost all of Tom Cruise''s works. The next few years will be the key stage of his leap from a superstar to the four kings of Hollywood.


    Ryan¡¯s plan is very simple. He draws a salary from the bottom of the tank and takes away his works. "Yihai Xiongfeng", "Sugar Coated Trap", "Interview with Vampires", "Mission Impossible", "Magnolia", etc. are destined to be in this life. It¡¯s a different actor!


    Don¡¯t think that without these movies, he will be finished. Sometimes it is the actors who make the roles, but in 99.99% of the cases, the roles make the actors. This is Hollywood. No one can¡¯t be replaced. , Even if it''s Ryan Jenkins!


    "Earth Ambition" and "Eye-Opening" are still yours! Actually I am very grand, am I not? Ryan smiled contemptuously.


    In fact, he knows very well that even without these movies, as long as Tom Cruise still has a box office appeal, he can still shoot other movies, and he may not really sink.


    But he slandered his most important person in this way, if Ryan did not retaliate, he would definitely be tortured and unable to sleep at night.


    Looking at Gerald and Whitney Houston coming hand in hand, Ryan scratched his head. It was obvious that the two must have reached an agreement.


    Together with Nicole, they took them and Jinsli to the reception room. After the guest and the host were seated, Gerald asked his assistant to give a file bag to the boy.


    "Ryan, this is the script. I have already sorted it out."


    Opened the file bag, Ryan quickly flipped through it. The script was a printed version, and the plot he retelled was not omitted.


    "Thank you, Mr. Gerald."


    "That''s it." Gerald pointed to Houston, "If I''m not mistaken, do you like the role of Rachel Whitney?"


    "Yes." Ryan nodded, "Actually, in the process of conceiving, I came up with the idea that the real queen-level singer should come to play Rachel, the only person who meets this requirement. Miss Houston is none other than."


    "Can this script be handed over to Warner?" Gerald is obviously a happy businessman, "Whitney has always been very happy to work with us."


    Cooperation? Ryan pouted secretly, who didn''t know that Whitney Houston is now a singer under Sony Records.


    "Are there any difficulties? You can mention what you have." The other party made it clear that you are not afraid that you have the conditions, but you are afraid that you will not say if you have the conditions.


    "Mr. Gerald, I think you should have seen the script." After seeing the other nod, Ryan continued, "This script is not complete, and it was improvised by me. There are many plots that need to be supplemented and revised. Also, I need time to compose the songs that Rachel sings."


    "We can wait." It seems Warner is very sincere.


    "This script can work with you." Ryan gave a verbal promise. Anyway, this is something that belongs to Warner. "The specific cooperation methods and conditions will be discussed with you after I finish the script."


    "That... okay." Gerald nodded, and then said, "Also, I want to invite you to audition at Warner Records."


    "Just forget it."


    Seeing that the other party still had to speak, Ryan had no choice but to say, "I''m sorry, I promised Hollywood Records, if I want to develop in music, I will give them priority."


    Gerald said a few more words. Ryan refused with the excuse of keeping his promise. Indeed, as he said, fame is very important in this circle, and it is a virtue to believe in words.


    In the next few days, the villa was harassed by reporters. Some TV stations even drove the broadcast truck to the opposite side of the villa in order to **** the news. Not only did he and Nicole be annoying, but even the servants who went out were chased by paparazzi. Hope to dig out some exclusive news from their mouths.


    It''s a pity that these people have signed strict confidentiality contracts. If you don''t want to pay for the bankruptcy, it is best to keep your mouth shut.


    Ryan doesn¡¯t matter. He won¡¯t be bored without going out for a month. What¡¯s more, the script of "Bodyguard" must be trimmed, and the songs in it still need to be created. For the songs in previous movies, he just remembers "I.Will.Always.Love". ".You" and "I.Have.Nothing".


    Others, he didn''t bother to recall and decided to use original instead. This is a test of the songs he composed. Anyway, if there are those two songs, the movie will not have a big problem.


    But this situation is bound to not last for a long time, he can not go out, but Nicole can''t.


    There are many newspapers, magazines, and TV programs that send out interview applications, and Jin Sili has received a huge pile of invitations.


    "Ryan, the best solution is to hold a joint interview or go on a TV show." Jinsli made a suggestion. "You can''t keep your mouth open forever. To know that Tom Cruise is conducting public relations with the major media, we must fight back."


    "Counterattack?" Ryan scratched his head. The video recording is ironclad evidence that Tom Cruise has a hundred mouths to tell him, and he can''t get away with the comments of bullying the small and bad character.


    "Okay." Jinsili sighed, "Even if you don''t care, always think about Nicole. She follows a lot of paparazzi wherever she goes, which seriously affects her normal work."


    "That''s it." Ryan put down the pen in his hand and finally raised his head from the desk, "Then what do you suggest?"


    Pie Jinsli was obviously prepared, and handed over an invitation, "NBC is a new evening talk show, don¡¯t worry, you don¡¯t have to go to New York. They have a studio in Burbank."


    Ryan took it and glanced, sweating profusely, and the name of the show turned out to be "Face to Face"! It looks like a certain visual style.


    ...In the last few days, I have started to suffer from insomnia, and I have been thinking about whether there is a tendency to go crazy. . . Seeking collection~~ Seeking recommendation~~

 Chapter 53： Interview One

    With the warm applause of the audience, the spotlight on the ceiling suddenly turned on, illuminating the small stage. A young woman with short and medium blonde hair and wearing a professional skirt walked up from behind the stage.


    "Welcome to the "Face to Face" program broadcast live on NBC TV. This is the host Kate Brady!"


    After another round of applause off the court, Kate Brady continued, ¡°I think everyone has watched the Oscars ceremony held last month, and the news reports in the past few days. You should know that the whole of Los Angeles is now , What is the hottest topic in the entire entertainment industry?"


    The audience under the stage had already realized something. After all, the newspaper had been bombarded for several days, and even if they hadn¡¯t read it, they had heard other people mention it.


    "Yes, at the end of last month, there was a super genius who dictated a movie script on the spot, and then it took half an hour to create a song! Well, let¡¯s invite our guests tonight, Ryan Jenkins, an eleven-year-old boy from Los Angeles, has invited a Martian to land on Earth!"


    The audience was startled for a while, then laughed, and at the same time, there was more enthusiastic applause. The continuous bombardment of the media made them full of curiosity about the boy.


    In the passionate accompaniment of the band, Ryan walked out from the back of the stage unhurriedly and waved under the stage. He was wearing canvas shoes, light blue jeans, a long-sleeved sweater and a top. The baseball cap, while highlighting the personal temperament, also looks extremely friendly.


    "Please sit down, Mr. Martian!" Kate Brady teased again.


    "Come on, Kate, you have to say that again, I really want to leave the earth and return to Mars!"


    Ryan sat on the sofa and waved his hand in dissatisfaction, which caused the audience below to laugh.


    "All right, Ryan." Kate Brady sat across from the boy, seemingly really going to face each other, "How does it feel to get the Oscar statuette for the first time?"


    "Why the little golden man is not pure gold? Just kidding." Ryan looked straight, "excited, you know, before the Oscar, some media have been questioning me, this little golden man is the academy''s recognition and affirmation of me. !"


    "I don''t think anyone will question you anymore, right? Otherwise, they will be as embarrassed as Mr. Cruise." Kate said with a smile.


    Ryan just shrugged, but didn''t say anything. He didn''t want to leave an aggressive image to the public.


    Kate obviously didn¡¯t want to let him go, and continued to ask, ¡°I think everyone has seen that video or report. It must be very curious. You can dictate a script in less than three hours. How did you do it?¡±


    "I admit that this script was indeed inspired by the Fox TV program that night, but many of the sections are actually used frequently in the movie. I just changed them in a different way. Entered into his own idea." Ryan said briefly, which was quite convincing.


    "What about the song? We all know that you can write novels and scripts, but you have never shown your talent in music."


    "In fact, I started to study music when I was in the orphanage. At that time, students from the College of Art came to volunteer. I learned sheet music, guitar, and violin from them. Speaking of which, I learned other things from them in the first place. "


    "Including the writing and drawing of the lens setting draft?" Kate asked.


    "Sketch is indeed, and there is literacy and reading."


    "I heard that you can read fluently when you were four, is that true?"


    "That''s right." Ryan nodded, showing a look of embarrassment, "When I was four years old, I could read most newspapers and magazines fluently, even though there were some words I couldn''t figure out what they meant. My ability to write these works has a lot to do with a lot of reading when I was young."


    "We all know that you wrote "Jurassic Park" when you were six. Even though this book is considered a young book, it is undeniable that it has achieved great success. What made you at that time Have you got the inspiration?"


    "I read a lot of books between the ages of four and six. There is a small library in the orphanage. I have read all the books in it, such as "War and Peace", "Anna Kalinina" and "Count of Monte Cristo" "Three Musketeers" and so on."


    Just as the audience below opened their mouths in shock, Ryan''s words suddenly changed, "That''s impossible! In fact, I have seen all the works of Mr. Stephen King and Mr. Asimov, as well as trust. Mr. Erkin¡¯s great works are also very interesting. Sometimes he reads too much, and he always likes to fantasize some pictures. You should know that it is very interesting to substitute yourself into the world of fantasy until the age of six. , I suddenly felt, why can¡¯t I turn my fantasy pictures into words?"


    Ryan pursed his lips and continued, ¡°I read a magazine about dinosaurs and cloning technology. Even though I don¡¯t know much about cloning until now, I wondered why I couldn¡¯t move these prehistoric monsters to modern times. What?"


    These words are also true and false. He knows very well that after reading a lot of books and animations when they are young, they will always fantasize about substituting themselves into them. Not many people will question this statement.


    Kate showed a look of approval. Apparently she had a fantasy when she was a child, "Have you always been so inspired? You have written "Jurassic Park" and three Harry Potter books from the age of six to now. There is also a collection of stories. In the movie, there are scripts for "Sixth Sense," "Home Alone", and "Night Sleep in Seattle". Oh, my God, you are so productive."


    "Actually, how do you say it!" Ryan showed a somewhat embarrassed look on his face. "People close to me, my family and friends, often say that I like whimsical things, saying that my thinking is too leap and small. At the time, Nicole thought I had delusion..."


    Ryan suddenly covered her mouth, as if she accidentally missed it.


    The audience below ¡¡¡¡ laughed kindly.


    "Well, Ryan." Kate''s words suddenly sharpened. She took out a book of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." What do you think about the childishness of the previous works?"


    "People are always growing up!" Ryan shrugged playfully, "In fact, those works full of childishness were done before I was ten years old."


    "If you create so frequently, will it affect your studies?"


    "All my grades are all A." Ryan said very confidently.


    "But all the teachers who have been interviewed reflect that you never listen to lectures in class!" Kate looked aggressive.


    "Yes, I have never denied this." Ryan spread his hands. "All the textbooks will be read on the first day I get them. Some people may think I am a little arrogant, but I still have to say , This knowledge is too simple for me."


    "I don''t think anyone will doubt your wisdom, don''t they?" Kate complimented him slightly, and Ryan remained unmoved.


    She pointed to the audience in the audience, mostly teenagers, "I think the audience is most concerned about Harry Potter issues."


    "Do you have an idea for a whole series?"


    "Yes, if nothing else, there should be seven episodes in the entire series."


    "Wow~" There was a burst of exclamation at the scene, which was an exclusive news.


    Kate laughed suddenly and took out a newspaper from under his chair, "This is the latest issue of the Daily Mail. I think it¡¯s not unfamiliar to you, right?"


    "Nicole once subscribed in those two years in London." Ryan took it over.


    "The Harry Potter series has become more and more influential, not only in the United States, but also in the United Kingdom. This newspaper declares that the series is English literature. The reason why you have such an idea is precisely because you were in London. I lived for two years and received a British-style enlightenment education." Kate looked at Ryan.


    "I admit that without those two years of life in London, it is impossible to write such a novel, but it has nothing to do with British education. My performance in London school..." Ryan made a gesture that you understand.


    "Then what do you think of the British media calling it English literature?"


    "This..." Ryan scratched his face, a little embarrassed.


    After all, this is genuine English literature, but he absolutely cannot admit that he has lived in Los Angeles and London in this life. It is not clear how the American and British people have not dealt with it. Know how to fire a map cannon, and one of his answers is not good, that is to get angry.


    "I think literature has no boundaries, right?" Ryan could only give an ambiguous answer.


    Probably Jinsli said hello beforehand, or maybe his age does have an advantage, Kate didn''t continue to embarrass him in this regard, and turned to the movie aspect.


    "Are there any shooting plans this year?"


    "I only finished filming of "Terminator 2" in March, and I won''t accept the filming appointment for the time being." Ryan shook his head.


    "It is said that James Cameron was a tyrant on the set. Is that really the case? Has he scolded you?"


    "Of course, when filming, James will be transformed into a humanoid tyrannosaurus, which is more terrifying than the one in "Jurassic Park". He reprimanded people like a violent storm. In New Mexico, how many I wanted to go to the desert to dig a pit and bury myself?"


    "Why?" Not only Kate, the audience off the court also showed a curious look.


    "Because under his reprimand, I feel that I am completely useless and have no self-confidence."


    After ¡¡¡¡ Ryan finished speaking, a roar of laughter broke out at the scene.


    "Will you still work with him in the future?"


    "There is no denying that James is an amazing director. After the release of "Terminator 2", everyone will be surprised. Of course I will continue to work with him, but I will never act as an actor."

 Chapter 54： Interview Two

    Compared with the talk shows that Ryan has watched, Kate is still polite. Some sensitive issues are only simple, and there is no endless digging. This is related to Pie Jinsli¡¯s prior PR and His age is related.


    Besides, the conflict with Tom Cruise. Although he was the final winner, the media and the public still put him in the weak position. Adults have some sympathy for children.


    "Strictly speaking, "The Sixth Sense" is your first exposure to acting, but you have demonstrated amazing acting skills. How did you do it?" Kate asked.


    "It has something to do with my experience. After all, except for the scary part of the movie, a lot of it comes from my life..." Ryan pulled the tiger skin up again, anyway, lying and it won''t cost money.


    "Have you been abused in the orphanage?"


    "Not before the age of six." Ryan shook his head first, and then frowned. "The welfare home is indeed a very indifferent place. Let''s put it this way. Apart from the old Dean Katie, I and other people are not Familiar, as for what happened after Dean Katie retires, I don¡¯t want to mention it again."


    "Okay." Kate changed the subject. "What about Miss Nicole Kidman?"


    "Nicole is my only relative and the person who is most important to me." Ryan replied without even thinking about it, "Can you imagine, I escaped from the orphanage, penniless and at a loss. Asked for help everywhere, but was rejected as a tramp. In that case, I met Nicole on the Avenue of Stars. She hardly hesitated and helped me with all her heart. In order to win my custody, she I ran out of all my savings, even sold my house and car, and owed a lot of debt for this."


    Although many media have reported on the matter between him and Nicole, they did not dig up this secret that only a few people knew. At this time, the audience exclaimed, and they changed places. It was impossible for them. Do all this for someone who has never met.


    "I know that some people never mind treating others in the worst way. In their opinion, Nicole won my custody because of the huge benefits he could get, but Nicole didn''t know at the time. For my writing, Nicole has not used me a dollar in the past few years, even in the most difficult time. Instead, she is actually responsible for all my expenses."


    As soon as Ryan finished speaking, enthusiastic applause broke out off the court. Is there anything more reliable than the words spoken from the person involved?


    "Ryan, I don''t know if you have noticed. Many couples have issued statements in the newspapers, saying that you are their lost child."


    "I said, I only have one relative in this world, and that is Nicole Kidman!" Ryan said solemnly.


    Probably the director of the show notified Kate something. She touched her earplugs and quickly changed the subject, "Your achievements last year are so dazzling. Many people are saying that you are the darling of God. What do you think?"


    "Definitely not." Ryan pretended to cast aside his lips helplessly, "I have a very keen sense of art, and I have some talent in this respect, but God is fair to everyone. He gave you a pearl. , Will take away a diamond. Actually, I have a very bad one, but others don¡¯t know it."


    "Can you talk about it?" Kate''s eyes lit up.


    "It''s hard for me to concentrate. I can lose my mind at any time." Ryan spread his hands. "Also, I found myself unable to go to the kitchen. The only time I made coffee, I almost ordered the entire apartment building. For this reason, the neighbor They also went to the door to protest."


    The audience laughed. In their opinion, such a boy is a normal person, with a prominent side and a bad side.


    "Are there any more?"


    "Hmm..." Ryan thought about it, and finally said, "Well, this is my biggest secret."


    "Wow~" There was a sound of admiration from the audience, followed by a roaring sound.


    ¡°I can¡¯t touch alcohol. I¡¯m very allergic to alcohol. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve never drank alcohol secretly. It was discovered by the family doctor when he disinfected me with alcohol. He once warned me and Nicole. If you don¡¯t want to endanger it Life, stay away from alcohol products in the future."


    Kate on the opposite side, as well as the audience off the court, all opened their mouths. Although the law regulates drinking, everyone knows what the situation is, and a life without drinking is a miserable life. !


    "This is... incredible." Kate was taken aback for a moment before saying.


    Ryan shrugged playfully, but said nothing more.


    "Well, here is the new section of our show, and the guest income is revealed!" Kate pointed to the big screen above the stage, which listed a bunch of data.


    She looked at Ryan, "Do you mind if we take inventory of your family?"


    "It''s okay." Ryan pouted. No one had communicated with him about this item beforehand. Obviously, the producer wanted to give him a surprise, or a little embarrassment.


    This is normal. In order to prevent accidents and unpleasantness, usually this kind of program will communicate with the guests before starting, but most of them will still keep a hand. Of course, it will not be too much.


    Kate looked at the big screen and began to read, "The "Sixth Sense" script was 50,000 dollars, paid 150,000 dollars, divided into 2.9 million dollars, totaling 3.1 million dollars, is this figure right, Ryan?"


    "That''s right." Ryan could only nod his head. After all, this is a public expenditure of the crew. People who are interested can find out after checking it. However, they obviously didn''t count the red envelopes.


    "The script of "Home Alone" has an additional $3 million in salary, divided into $5.7 million, for a total of $8.7 million. "Terminator 2" has a salary of $5 million, and the share is unknown."


    "Wow~"


    began to exclaim from the field.


    "Your income from movies last year was... well, let me calculate it, $16.8 million! Oh, my God! Sitting across from me is an eleven-year-old multimillionaire!" Kate made a very exaggerated expression. .


    "Actually, there are not so many." Ryan waved his hand, "Don''t forget, you have to pay taxes!"


    The Inland Revenue Department is the nation¡¯s most powerful agency. The CIA and the FBI are weak in front of them. If the handle of tax evasion and tax evasion is caught by them, what awaits is an extremely miserable life. You know, the Inland Revenue Department has Independent court, and no jury!


    "Don''t forget, you still have a royalty share for books, and the Alien Body Publishing House refuses to disclose the specific figures to us. Can you tell us about it, Ryan?"


    "Sorry, I rarely care about these things, I have to ask my accountant about this." Ryan shied away very simply.


    This is only the beginning of the 90s. His income from movies alone is amazing. If you take other aspects into account, it will attract countless people''s jealousy. He doesn''t want to be the target of kidnappers.


    "Okay, then!" Kate blinked, "Can you always reveal what new works are being created recently?"


    "An action playbook, and another playbook." Ryan made a gesture that you understand.


    "Then we are waiting for your good news!" Kate continued, "Here is the audience question time. We will choose two live audiences and one who dials the hotline."


    Below the stage, the audience has been waiting for a long time, and they all raised their hands.


    "The lady second from the left in the third row!" Kate ordered one at random.


    This is a girl about fifteen years old, she looks very playful, "Ryan, do you plan to find a girlfriend? Can you tell me what the standard is?"


    "Not yet! As for the standard, I haven''t considered it yet." Ryan''s expression was somewhat unnatural.


    "The fifth gentleman from the left in the seventh row!"


    It was a middle-aged man who stood up this time. He said, "Ryan, I have two children, both of your book fans and movie fans. They can''t come to the scene because of their age. Can you sign for them?"


    "No problem." Fans have to be managed. After two lives, Ryan knows very well, "After the show is over, would you please keep it for a while?"


    "Thank you!"


    "The next question is for the audience outside the venue, please let the staff answer the phone!" Kate said.


    Soon, a phone call came in, and it sounded like a young man, "Ryan Jenkins, your works are all rubbish, there is nothing commendable except for coaxing children."


    Including Kate, everyone on the scene was stunned for a moment. Obviously, they didn''t expect such an accident to happen.


    "Please don''t look at my work in the future, please?" Ryan said casually. UU reading www.uukanshu. com "I don''t think the federal government will force to read or watch any of Ryan Jenkins''s works, will it?"


    "Okay, thank you Ryan, thank you for the live and pre-TV viewers, today''s face-to-face show is over, we will see you next week!


    This is just the last small episode of the show. Ryan dealt with it easily and left the studio after meeting the father''s autograph request.


    After the "Face to Face" column, major newspapers and tabloids began to interpret what Ryan said, which satisfied the public''s gossip to some extent, and the topic of him was gradually reduced, especially the reporters around the villa. , Most of them have disappeared. Of course, occasionally there will be unwilling paparazzi guarding outside, trying to dig out exclusive news.


    As for Ryan, he returned to school, but the eyes of his classmates changed everything. Even Jerry and Peter rarely interact with him again. This situation is normal, just like Natalie in school. It''s the same, too smart and precocious children, it is difficult to be welcomed among peers.


    Ryan doesn''t matter, he is still repeating his own life, besides, he doesn''t have so much time to relate to and deal with these little kids. For him, these are just passers-by.


    It¡¯s just that he would not have thought that "Face to Face" exposing his income would cause him considerable trouble.


    ¡­Thanks to a few friends for their support. It¡¯s been two days since the pants were pushed, and the results are very impressive, but we have enough mental preparations, Meiyu, the niche among the niche, and entertain ourselves... Don¡¯t dislike it. Long-winded, last practice, ask for recommendation tickets~ ask for collection!

 Chapter 55： farce

    Time slipped to May. The number of theaters for "Sleepless in Seattle" dropped from the original more than 2,000 to less than 800, but the North American box office has reached 110 million U.S. dollars, even without the "Sixth Sense" The madness of "" and "Home Alone" are also very rare.


    There is a saying in Hollywood privately that you want movies to sell at the box office? It''s very simple. Ask Ryan Jenkins to write a script and draw some shots. If you can recommend a few suitable actors, it would be even better.


    The big sales of "Night Sleep in Seattle" completely established Nicole''s status as a first-line actress, especially in the movie. Her glamour and warm temperament fascinated countless people and became The darling of merchants.


    Compared to Nicole Kidman, Ryan is more famous, and more able to toss. The mess around him has never been interrupted, and Pie Kingsley has gradually become overwhelmed. .


    However, she had already prepared, combined with the opinions of Ryan and Nicole, and began to form a strong behind-the-scenes team for the two.


    Ryan knows the importance of a behind-the-scenes team, especially after entering the era of national entertainment, the ability and reaction speed of this team will be of great help to the future of him and Nicole.


    Up to now, the topic about him and Tom Cruise has gradually cooled down, but the news about him in the media is still eloquent. Some tabloids have begun to hype about his life experience. There are five or six couples who don¡¯t know if they got it. Someone¡¯s support has been clamoring that he is their lost child.


    In fact, this kind of thing started to appear as early as last year, but since April, it has intensified. He has been wondering whether someone is controlling it behind the scenes.


    You must know that he has always tried his best to build a good relationship with people. Anyone in the circle who has been with him, even if he doesn''t like him, is not disgusting, of course, except for one person.


    Jingling bell¡¯s get out of class bell pulled Ryan back from his random thoughts. He put away the manuscripts on the desk, went to the locker, took out his backpack and walked towards the school gate. Now, he has become a real man in school. Of loneliness.


    Before leaving the school gate, Ryan heard the messy sounds outside and didn''t care. He had adapted to the life of being chased long ago, only when they were a group of big green flies, bowed their heads and continued forward.


    "Rui~En~"


    As soon as he walked out of the school gate, he heard an affectionate call. Even when Nicole spoiled him the most, he had never called him that way. It really made people cry and cry.


    But such a voice fell into his ears, and Ryan only felt goose bumps all over his body. He couldn''t help looking up and looking forward. A middle-aged couple was staring at him surrounded by reporter paparazzi. Like the landlord''s old treasure staring at the gold ingot.


    "Ryan~ I am your mother!"


    The middle-aged woman who speaks has blonde hair and a little Jewish character. In theory, this is really possible.


    As if rehearsed beforehand, as the woman¡¯s affectionate models, the surrounding camera shutters kept clicking, and the woman¡¯s expressions were constantly changing. Sadness, surprise, and excitement appeared on her faces, especially the sky blue ones. The eyes were full of tears, but they did not shed.


    "If I were a judge, I would definitely give you an Oscar figurine!"


    This is the only thought in Ryan''s mind. Although he always said that others love to look at the world with the worst eyes, in fact, he has always used this kind of eyes to look at people who have no feelings and relationships with him.


    "Ryan!" The woman seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and she moved her long legs and rushed towards him, seeming to want to hold him in her arms.


    It''s a pity that Ryan only likes the embrace of an older woman, Nicole Kidman. Otherwise, he won''t let any old woman touch him!


    "Cut!"


    Imitating James Cameron¡¯s voice, Ryan burst out angrily. The woman was taken aback and stopped halfway. The reporters also released the shutter of the camera one after another, laughing and crying.


    Ryan Jenkins What is this doing? Does he think this is filming? Is he still the director in charge of the audience? These reporters looked at the boys and the women, and suddenly felt that there must be a good show on stage today.


    "Ryan, I am your mother." The woman glanced at Jinshan with her eyes, then pointed to the old man behind, "That''s you..."


    "This lady!" Ryan interrupted her directly, "I don¡¯t care who you are, it has nothing to do with me. Okay, you continue. If you perform well enough, I think you can win one next year. Little Golden Man, ah...no, you should be acting in a drama, then congratulations on your early Tony Award!"


    Ryan finished speaking, turned around and walked towards the school, but Jinshan was right in front of her eyes. How could that woman give up, so she rushed up and grabbed him by the arm.


    But who is Ryan, he digs out a bird''s nest in his previous life, fights badly, and has played against the T1000 in this life, and has also been poisoned by a tyrant on the set. He has already practiced his skills, and he leaps forward with great flexibility.


    It just so happened that several guards at the school saw him being made things difficult and chased him. Ryan flashed directly behind them, and the woman not only caught the air, but because of too much force, she rushed into the flowerbed with a puff. Smashed into a bush of roses, this time, it was wonderful.


    "Hey~ everyone, hurry up and take pictures! A rare opportunity!" Ryan rolled his hands into the microphone and yelled vigorously, "Mick, did you take pictures just now? That woman fell by herself. If she falsely accuses me, you have to testify !"


    Mick Taylor pointed to the camera, "Don''t worry, Ryan, the photos are all taken."


    Nodded slightly to this old friend of the Los Angeles Times, Ryan said to the reporters and paparazzi around him, "Why don''t you applaud? In order to act as a mother, this lady threw herself into the flowers. Role model, everyone applaud! Applause!"


    After finishing speaking, he took the lead in applauding, and the clear popping sound came all the way, and the reporters kept gnawing their teeth.


    They all know that Ryan Jenkins is not an ordinary tricky man, and they didn''t expect to be sarcastic and not inferior.


    However, they are more concerned about whether the couple is his biological parents or not. Since they dare to come openly, they must be certain.


    "Little bastard! Is this your attitude toward your parents?"


    The man had been standing behind and watching, and then he walked up, but before he got close, Ryan smelled a strong smell of alcohol, which was even better than the Michael Lohan he had ever seen before. .


    Perhaps his drinking spirit hasn''t passed, just under everyone''s eyes, something surprising happened. The middle-aged man walked up to Ryan in several strides, raised his palm, and slapped Ryan.


    Everyone opened their mouths, watching this incredible scene. It is a felony to beat a minor in public at will. Is this guy crazy?


    Ryan knew that his small body would never be able to withstand such a heavy shot, and quickly took a step back. However, the slap did not fall. A young doorman standing next to him volleyed the drunkard¡¯s arm. Caught in the hand.


    "Let go!"


    The stench of alcohol came over, and Ryan took a big step back and pinched his nose at the same time.


    The doorman first squeezed his arm hard, and when the drunkard¡¯s painful cold sweat appeared, he pushed back lightly, and the drunk stepped back several steps, if not the woman who stood up from the flower bed helped him in time I believe that he will fall to the ground.


    "Thank you, George." The boy nodded to the guard.


    "You are welcome, Ryan, we must be worthy of your coffee." The doorman has a celebrity face comparable to Tom Cruise, but the faint scar on the top of his eyebrows makes him more like a tough guy.


    The reporters around him came to their senses at this time. There was another shutter sound. Ryan sighed vigorously, saying that he was possessed by the mold god. Why has the trouble been so persistent recently?


    I scanned the surroundings, and the car that picked him up has not come yet, and frowned slightly, but... it just seems that something is wrong...


    Ryan''s nerves have always been very keen, and not only limited to art, he felt it in a short moment, and there was a gaze staring at him from afar!


    Ryan didn''t even think about it, so he looked over, a car window was rising quickly, and a handsome face caught his eye from the ever-smaller gap.


    it is good! that''s good! Ryan sneered from the bottom of his heart His past and present life combined, finally had a second enemy!


    That guy would never have thought that Ryan''s nervous reaction would be so sharp, and he would never have thought that he would recognize him even so far away!


    The silver-gray Chevrolet sedan left this street, and the exhaust fumes exuded a smell called Tom Cruise. Ryan was not going to continue watching this drama that might be true or false. Backed by a doorman, he returned to school.


    "Ryan Jenkins, this is Michelle Jenkins, this is your father Glenn Shire Jenkins, even if you hide, you can¡¯t deny this, we will apply to the court for a paternity test, and we will get yours back. Guardianship!"


    The middle-aged woman is still clamoring, but her image is terrible. Not only the clothes are riddled with the thorns of the rose, but also the face and hands have a lot of wounds. If the people outside the door understand Chinese, they will definitely give it away. She is the nickname of a dominatrix.


    "George, thank you."


    Hiding in the guard room, Ryan sincerely thanked the guards. This is not the first time George has helped him. This veteran is still a good man.


    Ryan called Nicole''s mobile phone, and after hearing a few words, he secretly sighed unlucky. Pie Jinsli who came to pick him up crashed with someone. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong. Nicole and her assistant were rushing to school.


    After earning the consent of George and the others, Ryan said to the phone, "Nicole, don''t park outside when you arrive, and go straight into the school. It''s okay! It''s just that some people are starting to ask for trouble!"


    ¡­¡­Please collect~please recommend~

 Chapter 56： Swift 1

    The next day, everything that happened at the entrance of the campus appeared in prominent positions in major newspapers. There were a lot of pictures and reports. Fortunately, the incident took place in public. Not only paparazzi, but also many major newspapers were present. Reporter, therefore, both the pictures and reports are still true.


    It¡¯s just that a lot of tabloids started clamoring again, saying that Ryan Jenkins''s parents who came to confess with cold eyes lacked sufficient morals and education.


    In contrast, major newspapers are more serious and responsible, and even published pictures of middle-aged women and drunks, especially the "Los Angeles Times", which directly digs out the old bottom of the couple.


    "The family formed by the Jenkins is a family full of alcohol, drugs, violence, and coldness. Michel Jenkins, no fixed job, is currently a nightclub helper, has a short history of drug abuse, is a victim of domestic violence, Glenn Charles Jenkins, a long-term unemployed truck driver, has a history of alcohol abuse for 20 years and a history of drug abuse for 12 years. He has no source of income. He has always lived on government relief. He has an obvious tendency to violence. He used to be violent to others. And was sentenced to three years in prison!"


    "We don¡¯t discuss whether they are Ryan Jenkins¡¯ biological parents, nor do we want to ask why they clamor for Ryan¡¯s custody. We just want to ask, is such a family really conducive to the healthy growth of children? ?"


    "Under the care of Miss Nicole Kidman, Ryan is a sunny, cheerful, intelligent and a bit tricky boy. Whether it is psychologically or physically, he is growing up healthily. With him With more and more achievements, he is becoming a role model for the entire American youth, but just yesterday, the couple not only added bad words, and even wanted to do something against Ryan..."


    "Damn it!"


    Nicole throws away the newspaper. If she is not in a moving car now, she really wants to...


    "Okay, Nicole, I''m fine." Ryan comforted her.


    "It''s okay?" Nicole pointed at the drunk man''s raised arm in the newspaper, "I can''t imagine what would happen if he hit you!"


    "No! I''m going to send him to jail!" Nicole took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Lawyer Wilson.


    Ryan could only shrug his shoulders helplessly. In fact, he contacted the lawyer yesterday. Presumably the couple will not have a better life in the future, even if they are really his parents, so what?


    Not to mention their past, only relying on yesterday¡¯s events, they want to get his custody is just a foolish dream, not to mention that they may not be!


    I really don¡¯t know where the custards got the best couple, they are even better than the Michael Rohan couple.


    "Ryan, you need a bodyguard." Jinsli said back.


    "I have someone to choose." The boy replied.


    "Someone has chosen? Which one?" Jinsli was a little strange. To know the alternative information about the bodyguard and the driver, she had given the boy a full month, but he never gave her an answer.


    "Pat, go talk to him." Ryan thought of the star face, "You should have seen the guard at St. John''s Elementary School, the one called George! Don''t object, let me finish talking, he is A veteran, a former member of the Marine Corps, has been in Somalia and the Middle East for a long time, and has been engaged in security work for a long time. After retiring from the army this year, he has been unable to find a suitable job, so he temporarily committed himself to St. John¡¯s Primary School ."


    Pie Jinsli frowned, and did not answer, "Well, Ryan, I will let someone check him, and if there is no problem, I will talk to him in person."


    "Okay." Ryan nodded.


    After the three cars drove into the Los Angeles International Airport, Nicole finally put down the mobile phone. Ryan could imagine that attorney Wilson would frown at her request.


    They came here to pick up people. The other party came from Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.


    Yes, it was the Scott Swift family of Ryan¡¯s agent investors. After the boy gave him more and more funds to manipulate, Mr. Scott finally made up his mind and moved to Los Angeles from Montgomery County.


    As for whether Little Taylor will change her life trajectory because of this, Ryan is not worried. Taylor in her previous life started her music journey from a computer repairman. It¡¯s a big deal in this life that she will teach her herself, if she still wants to grow up. If you go to Nashville, the music mecca, it doesn''t matter, anyway, her father has made enough money in the past two years.


    Only after a while, the Swift family walked out, Scott pushed a car full of salutes, and Mrs. Andrea held little Taylor, who was only one and a half years old.


    The two sides greeted each other. Jinsli¡¯s assistants took the salute, and the group walked towards the airport parking lot, while Ryan approached the little girl.


    "Hey, little Taylor, do you remember me? I''m your Uncle Ryan!"


    "I... I don''t know you~" the little girl said milkily.


    "Oh, my dear, you make me so sad to say that." Ryan made a sad look.


    "Huh~"


    "Alison, have you forgotten? Ryan always mails you gifts..."


    "Really? Mommy? Oh, I remember, every time I mail a lot of things, except for purple and red, and hydrangea." The little girl said this strangely, her big eyes fixed on her. At the boy.


    Ryan smiled, just about to talk, the girl Bai Shengsheng''s little hand has been handed to him, "Ryan, then...what about the present?"


    "Uh¡­¡­"


    The boy was a little dumbfounded. He rummaged through his pockets all over his body. There was nothing but a small purse. He had to say, "Will you make it up next time?"


    "Little...anir." The little girl snorted again and gave him the back of his head.


    Three cars drove quickly towards Beverly Hills. In the past two years, Scott Swift has made a lot of money. Not to mention that he invested his money in the stocks Ryan mentioned. It was the commission that Ryan paid him, which was not a small amount.


    Because he sometimes meets with Ryan, he often travels back and forth between Los Angeles and New York. As early as the beginning of this year, he bought an independent villa on the outskirts of Beverly Hills, although it was smaller than Ryan and Nicole¡¯s home. Quite a lot, but for their family of three, it''s already a big house.


    After getting out of the car, Taylor, who had just learned to walk, walked crookedly into the courtyard. After watching for a long time, he pointed to the **** villa and asked, "Mommy, the new home...is this ours? No farm is beautiful~ "


    "Yes, dear, we will live here from now on."


    Everyone is considered old friends, helping more or less carry luggage and things like that, and the youngest minor is taken care of by another minor.


    "Ryan~"


    "Honey, you should call me uncle." Ryan corrected.


    "Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!" the little girl shouted through gritted teeth.


    "Okay. Okay." Ryan raised his hand and surrendered. "Whatever you applaud."


    The little girl rolled her eyes and asked, "Gift... what you said just now, right?"


    The little girls are so clever now? Didn¡¯t they just turn their heads and forget it? Ryan scratched his face and nodded.


    Taylor simply sat on the lawn of the small garden, pointed around and said, "No...beautiful, no flowers, hydrangeas...Christmas tree farm, garden...all."


    "No problem." Any problem that money can solve is not a problem.


    "The robin... must!" The little girl groaned and stretched out her hand again.


    "Well, I''ll let someone buy it tomorrow."


    "No." Taylor shook his head like a rattle. "When I was on the farm, my father took me to catch it. I want you to catch one for me."


    Ryan¡¯s face turned from white to black in an instant. I really don¡¯t know what to say. Although the old and beautiful cities have done a good job of greening and animal protection, where can I find something like a robin?


    "You are a... stingy." The little girl''s nose was almost wrinkled on her forehead.


    Ryan is really helpless. Children of this age are privileged. Do you want to tell her the truth? Stop joking, I''m afraid he can''t say a few words, this little guy will cry to him.


    "It''s not possible today, it''s almost dark." Ryan raised his head and looked at the sun high in the sky, and began to talk nonsense.


    "Then...well, I''ll let Mommy help me remember this, and...there are two!" The little girl first showed a slap, and by retracting her four fingers, she thought it was wrong. Another finger stretched out.


    Fortunately, the furniture in the villa was already prepared The furniture brought by the Swifts was not too much. It didn¡¯t take long for Mrs. Andrea to take Taylor away. Otherwise, Ryan would have to You can''t collapse, children of this age are really not worrying at all.


    Before she became a child, it would be better for her to appear less frequently. Ryan had some consciousness.


    His throat was a little itchy. After he drank a glass of water, he quietly thought about it. It was not the recent mess, but he found that he had begun to change his voice. Although it was not very obvious, he could feel his voice. Changing to a drake voice.


    I''m less than twelve years old, OK! Ryan gave a wry smile. Well, he knew that this was almost a common phenomenon after entering the 21st century in his previous life.


    It¡¯s just that he neither eats KFC nor McDonald¡¯s, and even avoids Burger King and Pizza Hut. He did not expect that he would enter puberty early.


    Of course, this is not without benefits, at least it can make his voice and vocal cords mature earlier, so that you don¡¯t have to worry about music anymore.


    Also, I should go to Hollywood Records. They have professionals who can provide some guidance on singing training during the vocal change period. He doesn''t want to cause permanent damage to the vocal cords because of his usual practice.


    At night, the Swifts held a small party in the garden. Very few people attended, only the three of Ryan and a few assistants who came to help. After the party, they would have a conversation about the future.


    ...... Three shifts are on offer, collection~recommend~ come here, you are welcome. . . . .

 Chapter 57： Leather bag company

    The party didn¡¯t last long. After eating the food, Scott took Ryan, Nicole, and Jinsli to the study room of the villa. Several people communicated in advance, knowing that the next thing to talk about is very important. .


    We have been together for two years. Whether it is Scott or Kingsley, Ryan has long been regarded as a child. They know the boy''s intelligence and maturity.


    In Hollywood, the people who stand in front of the stage are the kings and queens of heaven, but in places where others cannot see, there are teams of several or even dozens of people serving them, and these people often hold many public places in their hands. If they don¡¯t understand the inside story, once they have a problem, the blow to the people in front of the stage is not serious.


    For example, in the previous life, after Tom Cruise failed to compete for the best actor Oscar, he attributed all the reasons to Pai Kingsley, thinking that she was too **** Nicole Kidman, but ignored him. Asked, the contract with her was cancelled.


    As a result, the angry Pie Kinsley made a counter-attack and threw Tom Cruise¡¯s disgraced face directly from the peak of his career. Scandals such as homosexuality, abnormal beliefs, and behavior quirks have never been broken, even until Ryan is reborn. At that time, he never escaped from the whirlpool of scandal and crawled out.


    Perhaps it was a relationship that met in advance. Pie Kingsley and Nicole Kidman became friends who talked everything. They had a very good relationship with Ryan. Moreover, their behavior was very similar to what he had heard of in previous lives. very different.


    Scott Swift, in his previous life, took care of Taylor''s investment career in an orderly manner. Regardless of word of mouth or reputation, he is far better than his daughter. He is a stock and investment manager who guards his career path.


    However, in the past and present, Ryan has grown up in a cold environment. Except for Nicole, it is difficult for him to completely trust anyone, even those who have vowed to hold hands forever, let alone others.


    You must know that a person will be blinded by enough immediate benefits, his eyes and heart, and he wants to work hard in Hollywood, wants to defeat his own enemies, he needs a strong team, a team that minimizes internal problems.


    How can we unite the people around me? In addition to a strong relationship, that is to have common interests.


    "You heard that right, I want to set up a film production company." Ryan''s words have never been so sure.


    He waved his hand to interrupt Pai Jinsli who wanted to ask questions, "After listening to me, I know that none of us has the ability to run a film company, nor does it have enough contacts and funds, but the film company I''m talking about is not A professional production company like Miramax or Xinxian."


    At this point, Jinsli and Nicole Kidman have already understood. Obviously, Ryan wants to set up a leather bag company like other movie stars.


    "Yes, we set up a shell company." Ryan smiled helplessly, "What we need is a sum of money to rent a studio in Hollywood or Burbank and hire a few people in the industry."


    Such a shell company, to be precise, is a leather bag company. There are so many in Hollywood, especially many big stars. They often set up such a company. They have no equipment, no production team, no office location, or even staff. They only do it. What is to do is to adopt a way of sharing accounts and cooperation with film companies, which can not only give oneself a certain right to speak, but also make profits in this way.


    For example, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts and others in the previous life have established such companies, and the most successful ones are Brad Pitt and Drew Barrymore.


    Especially Drew, she came from a family of interpretation, the godfather is Spielberg, the godmother is Sophia Rowland, she is good at communication, has an amazing relationship in Hollywood, she founded the "Flower.Films" production company at the age of nineteen. It can be regarded as a model in this regard, and has successively cooperated with major film companies in "One Kiss", "50 Days of First Love" and "Thunderbolt Angel", etc., and obtained tens of millions of benefits from it.


    What Ryan wants to establish is such a company. He does not have the extensive network of Drew, but has inherent advantages. He only needs to cooperate with other film companies on his own script. Several works have been successful successively. , He gradually had such confidence and capital.


    He has been a human for two generations, and he still understands the truth that haste is not enough. Now he has only a small amount of funds, what can he do with others?


    Set up a film company to compete with several giants? Don''t be kidding, not to mention other aspects, the theaters and overseas screening rights alone will make them suffer.


    The DreamWorks in the previous life is the best example. Ryan is confident that he has some talent in art, but the rest is not a mess, he can only be said to be mediocre. He doesn''t think he is alone, well, even if you add a few people around him , Can it be compared with the Big Three of DreamWorks?


    Spielberg and the trio wanted to create a new era, but they faced the joint strangulation of the seven major film companies, and they had no choice but to end in hatred.


    Of course, the reasons are very complicated, and the things he saw in his previous life are just some superficial phenomena.


    Hollywood in the future will be the era of giants. It is not a movie giant, but a media giant. He has only heard of media groups acquiring film companies, and he has never heard of an example of a media giant relying on a film company alone to become a media giant.


    What''s more, after entering the new century, it has become increasingly difficult for movies to make profit only at the box office. The entertainment industry can become the second largest industry in the United States after manufacturing. It is because of the existence of large media groups that this industry has formed a complete industry. Industry chain.


    "Ryan, you are distracted again." Nicole squeezed his ear lightly. Ryan quickly recovered and stopped thinking about unrealistic things. Anyway, he didn''t have so much ambition for the time being, and cooperated. It''s the kingly way, people who eat alone will not be welcomed anywhere.


    "Where did you go?" Ryan scratched his head.


    "Establish a shell company." Jinsili reminded.


    "Ah, that''s it. We funded the establishment of a film company, and cooperated with other film companies in a way of sharing accounts to jointly produce my work."


    I have to say that he only has a little knowledge in business.


    "Furthermore, I need to use the amount of investment I occupy to have a say in some movies, especially the choice of actors." Ryan emphasized again.


    Hollywood is a realistic place. After he signs the contract, those who are profiteering will not care whether he and the cream niche are rivals. As long as they can make money, they will still invite him to play.


    Ryan doesn''t want to write those works in advance, and the starring is still Tom Cruise.


    In addition to interest binding, this is also another reason why he wants to set up a company.


    "I think you should have confidence in my work..." Ryan smiled.


    "Yes, we do have confidence in you." Jinsili sighed softly, "But the brokerage company I want to set up the most."


    "I think it would be a wise investment." Scoot nodded his head. He knew a little bit about Hollywood. This method of borrowing shells and laying eggs is exactly the way Hollywood stars are used to.


    "Well, I''m fine." Anyway, it''s just investing in Ryan''s works. The risk is not worth mentioning compared with the return. Jinsli temporarily gave up the agency''s plan.


    "Nicole, how about you?"


    "My dear, you know that I have always supported you the most." Ni shook his hand vigorously.


    Next, there is the question of the amount of capital. Ryan currently has about 6 million US dollars in funds. This is the remuneration of "Terminator 2" and the latest royalties from the publisher. Nicole does not have much money on hand. About 2 million US dollars can be collected. As for Jinsli and Scott, they each took 1 million.


    "I hate the tax bureau." Ryan scolded after discussing the share sharing.


    "Actually, everyone hates them." Scott laughed. He naturally understood why Ryan said that. After paying the personal income tax, the remuneration of "Terminator 2" and the royalties of several novels were only left. After paying more than 6 million US dollars, it will hurt anyone to change it.


    "Are there any other tax avoidance methods?" Ryan asked unwillingly.


    "Ryan, to avoid taxation, I have established a foundation for you. This is the best way." Scott shrugged. The tax bureau is the most troublesome place for managers like them.


    "Okay." Ryan nodded, "Scott, you will be responsible for the establishment of the company. For the time being, you will be in charge of operations. Anyway, there will not be much business in the future. There will also be Pate, who will recruit a few people in the industry.


    "No problem, in fact, in the team I set up for you, UU Reading has such people." Jinsili seemed to have thought of something and asked, "The company''s first business will not be " Bodyguard, right?"


    "Bingo~" Ryan snapped his fingers, "Yes, you have to talk about this, Pat, remember to divide the original soundtrack!"


    Share-sharing cooperation is the norm for Hollywood celebrities. Jinsli didn¡¯t say anything. After all, Ryan¡¯s works have been selling well. This industry is like all business models. Successful people will always give people inexplicable confidence, and Psychological hint of success next time.


    As for the company''s name, DreamWorks? Forget it, this name is clearly the life of bankruptcy and acquisition. Of course, one day after Ryan gets tired of playing, he might sell the company to several giants like George Lucas.


    In the end, a few people discussed it, and simply called Jenkins Pictures, so that Ryan''s reputation could be fully utilized.


    The shell film company was determined in this way. Apart from a ready-made script and limited funds, there is nothing commendable. Perhaps one day it will close like other companies established by movie stars.


    In the center of the world''s film industry, dozens of shell film companies are established or go bankrupt every day.


    What are the future plans for Jenkins Film Company? Sorry, Ryan Jenkins has no long-term plans. The only thing he has thought about is to plagiarize a few series of movies, hold the copyright in his hands, and sell the company one day in the future, so that he can sell it for a big price.


    ... Please collect~ Please recommend~ I am going to run naked next week~~ Today is three shifts. . .

 Chapter 58： Declare war

    The film company has come to an end. For the four of them, even if they lose all these ten million dollars, it is not a disaster that can no longer be turned back. If the investment can be profitable, just like Ryan¡¯s previous works, it will Will bring a steady stream of income.


    Ryan went to the car to fetch his backpack, and gave one of the file bags to Pie Kingsley. It was the revised "Bodyguard" script, including "I.Will.Always.Love.You". Ten songs including "I.Have.Nothing" and "I.Have.Nothing".


    The script is the same as his previous work, mixed with many set shots. Ryan also noted on it that it is best to invite Kevin Costner to play the leading role. Of course, it does not matter if the film company disagrees. Hollywood is missing. Everyone is still playing around.


    Besides, this kind of film only needs to find a qualified commercial film director, and the other party does not have brain cramps. The possibility of losing money is infinitely small.


    The eight additional songs that he created cost him a lot of time and energy. After all, inspiration is not something you want to have, but Ryan is confident that these songs will definitely not be inferior to the original version.


    In addition, there is a small folder. After Jinsli took it, Ryan said, ¡°Pat, after the establishment of the company, try to obtain the film adaptation rights of these books and novels, "Sugar Coated Trap" and "Forrest Gump". The True Story, The Identity of Byrne, The Interview with the Vampire, and The Kind to Catch Me: The True Saga of the Most Extraordinary Liar, do your best, and you can take care of the others."


    "This is..." Jinsili frowned, "There are still Chinese novels?"


    "Well. You know, I am very interested in Eastern culture." Ryan replied and said, "If you have time, you can go to Taiwan yourself."


    In fact, Ryan has listed a huge catalog. Except for the four articles he said, the other ones can win the best, and it doesn¡¯t matter if they can¡¯t. Originally, he also wanted to list Stephen King¡¯s "Different Seasons" Within the range that I tried to win, after thinking about it, I gave up.


    Yes, the adaptation of Shawshank¡¯s Redemption is very exciting and classic. It can be called one of the best movies in the 1990s, but can it really be worthy of a perfect two-character comment? What''s more, it was a mess at the box office. The reason is simple. In this era, neither the audience nor the film academy likes prison-themed movies very much.


    The success in the video tape market later came from a lot of sympathy points after the Oscar defeat. If you get it out by yourself and get one or two golden figures at the Oscar, you will really have tears and nowhere to cry. Up.


    This is extremely realistic Hollywood. If you mess it up once, you will throw away more than half of the aura you have previously obtained, especially for screenwriters.


    If this happens, will it be necessary to wait ten years later, when the media review classic movies, and then give "Shawshank''s Redemption" a name for themselves?


    It''s still better to own whoever owns things. In this case, "Shawshank''s Redemption" will still be a classic.


    After the business talk was over, a few people started chatting, and the topic soon turned to Ryan.


    "Ryan, what happened yesterday was not normal." After all, Jinsli had been in this circle for a long time, and she subconsciously felt that something was wrong.


    "That''s right." Ryan nodded, "Although it is far away, I saw Tom Cruise in the car opposite the school."


    "He?" Nicole clenched her teeth, as if to choose someone to eat, "It''s him again? I''ll see next time..."


    "Nicole, don''t worry." Ryan squeezed her hand firmly, and slowly opened her clenched fist, "Pat, notify the media that we have dealt with. I want to hold a press conference."


    ¡­¡­


    It was another weekend. Many reporters gathered at Disney''s headquarters in Burbank. Many of them were well-known characters in the media circle. It is naturally important to have them dispatched collectively.


    Just a few days ago, the media, including the three major newspaper companies in the United States based in Los Angeles, received notices from Ryan Jenkins to hold a press conference. These sensitive guys immediately understood that the other party was about I responded to some of the speculation questions.


    It''s not just journalists from the print media who arrived, they also saw the Fox TV broadcast van.


    Actually, this was Ryan''s idea. He borrowed Disney''s press room and simply gave the TV broadcast rights of the press conference to Disney. Anyway, his original intention was that the bigger the noise, the better.


    Unexpectedly, Disney not only gave the broadcasting rights to Disney TV, but also sold it back to Fox TV, leaving Ryan speechless, but that¡¯s good, after all, Fox TV¡¯s influence far exceeds Disney TV.


    It seemed to cheer up Ryan. Not only Jinsli sat beside him, but even Nicole sat on the other side. As for the reporters in the audience, they were still in order, at least they didn¡¯t turn into a mess. market.


    "I think everyone knows what happened the other day..." Ryan simply narrated what happened after school that day, and said again, "I don''t know who they are, and I don''t want to know who they are, my The lawyers have sent the lawyer''s letter. Their behavior threatens my personal safety. I will apply for a restraining order from the court!"


    "But..." A reporter couldn''t help standing up, "They said there is evidence that..."


    "It''s not time for questioning." Ryan interrupted unceremoniously, and then looked at her side, "I repeat, in this world, I only have one relative, her name is Nicole Kidman!"


    Ryan''s eyes then left the Australian girl, but the tenderness in it disappeared, replaced by sword-like fierceness, "For me, they never existed in my life, they didn''t exist in the past, now Doesn''t exist, in the future... still does not exist."


    The reporters under the stage naturally understood that they were the ones who abandoned him.


    "Also, you know what kind of experience I had in my childhood. For me, those who provide sperm and eggs do not mean that they are relatives. Even if they do appear in front of me in the future, I will not admit them. !"


    This sentence that is destined to become a classic Hollywood quote was just said from Ryan''s mouth. Many reporters present had dealt with him, and it was the first time I saw this boy''s passionate and full of personality. .


    However, Ryan hasn¡¯t finished speaking yet. He looked for the televised footage, pointed his right finger at the camera and said, "I know you are standing behind. Since you want to go to war, well, the war... now begins!"


    There was an uproar in the audience. A reporter with a quick response immediately guessed the meaning of Ryan''s words and vaguely understood who he was referring to!


    War? Openly declare war?


    Just when he was dumbfounded in the audience, Ryan pulled Nicole up and left the press conference without looking back, leaving Jinsli alone to deal with the guys who had blown up their dens.


    "Ryan, you..." Back in the lounge, Nicole didn''t know what to say. In this circle, even if there is a big contradiction, there are very few people who blatantly choke.


    "Nicole, don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t forget, I¡¯m a kid under twelve years old, a bit more rebellious, a bit more fierce, and not many people accounting." Obviously, Ryan had already thought about it, and his age was for him. , Sometimes it is a disadvantage, sometimes it is a great advantage.


    Adults will always tolerate minors. What''s more, Ryan did not clearly state who the other party was, nor did he say anything too much.


    "Okay." Nicole could only sigh, and before she knew it, she always treated him as an adult.


    Nicole''s mobile phone rang at this time. She looked at the New York number and immediately understood who was calling, "Ryan, Nat''s call."


    Nat? Ryan froze for a while, isn''t this the time for the two of them to talk on the phone? I wanted to come to Natalie by watching the live broadcast of the press conference just now.


    "Nate, what''s the matter?"


    "Ryan, did you mean Tom Cruise?" Natalie asked on the other side.


    "That''s right, the things these days have nothing to do with him."


    "Will you say that will have a bad effect?" Natalie was obviously worried.


    "Don''t worry, Nat." Ryan exhaled fiercely, and then said, "Can''t he hit my face with his hands, I won''t respond."


    "Ryan, I know I can''t help you now, what I want to say is, I will always stand with you, and fight back with any method you can think of!" Obviously, Natalie was affected by Ryan to some extent. Some, sometimes some lawless.


    "Fight back? Sure, I must..." Ryan suddenly remembered something, was taken aback, and then said, "Nat, wait until I get home. I''ll talk about it. I remembered one thing."


    "okay, bye."


    Ryan hung up the phone, gave Nicole, and found it in the lounge. At this time, the door of the lounge opened, and Carter Eisner came in.


    "Ryan, in any case, Disney is on your side!" He shouted Ryan rolled his eyes. Disney had nothing to do with Tom Cruise at this time. Stand on the other side, unless your head is flooded.


    "Nicole, where''s my backpack? Thank you."


    He didn''t care about Carter either. He took out the pen and blank sheet music from his backpack, and sat down, trying to remember the tune of the song.


    Carter Eisner closed his mouth obediently at Nicole¡¯s gesture, and stood on the side scratching his head. He had seen this situation. It was obvious that Ryan had the inspiration, but looking at it now, it seemed that he was writing music score?


    Frankly speaking, apart from taking away future works belonging to Tom Cruise, Ryan doesn¡¯t have a better way to fight back. Don¡¯t look at his harsh words. In fact, he understands that this is just showing his attitude. As for others, I''m afraid it will only be regarded as an angry speech when a child is wronged.


    But what Natalie said just now made him think of Taylor''s way of dealing with ex-boyfriends in the past life. Yes, he can also write a song, a song that is very popular, and can even be on the bulletin board, without dirty words, no By naming Dao''s surname, it can make everyone understand and ridicule and sarcasm him severely.


    This can make him the laughingstock of the entire North America and even the entire world, even though he is already the laughingstock of the United States.


    My X is a genius! Ryan laughed without image, then looked at Carter Eisner, "Carter, can we go to Hollywood Records now?"


    ...The second watch is sent here. Use collections and tickets to submerge me. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and my state has dropped significantly. . Thanks to a few friends for your rewards~ I am grateful...

 Chapter 59： he

    As the music director of Hollywood Records, John Burns turned his head. The entire company has no singers except for the Mickey Mouse Club. The Mickey Mouse Club and the record company that was only established in the 90s have nothing to do with it. It doesn''t matter much.


    More than a year has passed, and the company has done little in the record industry. As an executive, John Burns knows very well that if this situation continues, the group¡¯s board of directors will soon have a big impact on the record company¡¯s management. Exchange blood.


    But even if Hollywood Records is the most inconspicuous subsidiary of Disney, it would not be a turn for people from Touchstone Pictures to come over and gesticulate. Carter Eisner directly led a boy to the door, saying that he was very talented and talented. The record company should sign him, what''s the matter?


    Well, he admits that Ryan Jenkins is a genius, but that''s writing and acting, it''s music! He thought he was really an almighty genius?


    He quickly received a call from Michael Eisner, the president of the group, and even if he was reluctant, he could only take a group of people to the audition room.


    However, he found that his secretary was winking his eyebrows all the time, making mouth gestures silently.


    Tom Cruise? He understood it instantly and frowned. Suddenly, he recalled the overwhelming reports in April and wrote a song in half an hour! Yes it is! It''s him!


    The audition did not last long. After Ryan sang a song "because of you" and clearly stated that the song was his own original, everyone in the audition room looked like a hungry wolf seeing fresh meat, especially It''s John Burns, he is an experienced professional, how could he fail to see the value of the other party.


    "Ryan, frankly speaking, you have some small problems in singing, don''t worry, it is easy to solve." Burns frowned, sighed again, and asked, "Are you going to enter the voice change period?"


    "Yes." Ryan nodded, "In fact, I hope you professionals can give me some guidance during this period."


    Burns was a little disappointed. Now the entire record company wants to release high-selling records as soon as possible, so as to open up the current situation, but the boy in front of him has nothing to say about his musical talent, but if he wants to record a record, he has to change his voice. After the end of the period, right?


    How long will it take? Generally speaking, at least half a year or eight months can the sound line be basically stable, what a hell!


    Before long, the record company CEO Reed Miles also walked in. A staff member quickly explained the current situation to him. After thinking about it, he said to Ryan and Jinsli, "Ryan, also Remember me? We saw it not long ago."


    "Yes, Mr. Miles, all right, Reid." Ryan naturally remembered him, he had met when he attended a party held by Carter not long ago.


    "Let¡¯s put it this way, we hope to sign your record contract. The company will send professionals to guide you during your voice change period. You can also use this time to collect songs. After your voice is fixed, you can consider the record. How about?"


    "You don''t need to collect songs." Ryan shook his head slightly, and said, "Actually, I have prepared a lot of songs in the past few years, and there is no problem with releasing a record."


    Reed Miles and John Burns jerked their foreheads, what''s this? Is this the true face of super geniuses in art? Can you compose songs while writing and performing?


    "Reid, you should know that Ryan held a press conference at the headquarters today, and he wrote a new song more than half an hour after the conference." Carter Eisner seemed to be deliberate.


    Many staff members quietly wiped the sweat from their foreheads, Burns pressed his lips hard, and asked, "Ryan, let us take a look, or..."


    "Okay." Ryan beckoned to Jinsli, took the sheet music full of lyrics, and said to a staff member, "Can I borrow the guitar?"


    After taking the guitar, Ryan tried the pick, and simply put it aside, plucked the strings directly, the tune was playful and brisk, and his humming sound was like a naughty child, with a touch of subtlety in it. ridicule.


    "He is the brightest star. He rises up and speaks beautifully, but his wonderful language is shocking. It turns out that it is the ice that can hurt people!


    The light flashed and the alarm bell rang, he was like the eyes of a dragon, staring at the beautiful women of innocent children, and tortured them with slander!


    His defaming words never stop, this is his mission! Oh, the evil he brought dispelled the light, the leaves were withered and the flowers were withered wherever he passed!


    He accepted the order of Satan, destroying the peace in the world, don''t have any luck, because where he passed, everyone''s reputation disappeared cleanly!


    He is so hideous and makes the whole world restless, my dear, please put your hands together to warn God, and may Heavenly Father drop the dragon-slaying soldiers!


    Our world will not be occupied by evil dragons. He has become a fly that everyone hates. When you see him, you don¡¯t need to be merciful, let him always tremble!


    Na~na~na¡­¡­"


    At the beginning, everyone thought this song was easy, cheerful and catchy. It was definitely a song worthy of good practice. But as Ryan sang more and more lyrics, these people''s mouths opened. The bigger it is, it can even fit a goose egg.


    The whole song is so bright in tune, but full of sarcasm. There is no **** in all the lyrics, but it makes everyone understand that the author is cursing someone, cursing a vile villain with a glamorous appearance and a dirty inside.


    As for who the scolding is, I believe most people in the United States can guess.


    These people looked at each other, and after a while, some people couldn''t help but laugh. It was really interesting. Ryan Jenkins'' counterattack was really different.


    Nicole Kidman hasn''t said a word since he came in. At this moment, he couldn''t help laughing. After Ryan put down the guitar, he walked over and rubbed his head vigorously, "This is your counterattack? Be careful? Caused controversy."


    "What to do then?" Ryan shrugged, "He is an adult, I am a child, he is a big star who has been famous for many years, I am just a child star, he made it clear that I can only bully the small by bullying me. I can''t just be beaten Don''t fight back, this is the only way I can think of."


    His nonsense quickly took effect. Everyone in the room sighed and showed sympathy. Indeed, in the eyes of most people, Tom Cruise did a little too much. Especially the target of the attack was a minor.


    "It''s a great song, it has the strength to be on a bulletin board." Burns slapped his palm hard.


    "All right." Reed Miles thought for a while and asked, "Ryan, can I have someone negotiate a contract with Pat?"


    "Of course." Ryan nodded and suddenly laughed, "Reid, I remember the singer can release a single to test the water, right?"


    "Yup."


    "If possible, after signing the contract, can this "he" be released as a single?" Ryan doesn''t want to wait until half a year or eight months later.


    "This one¡­¡­"


    "Can¡¯t it? I don¡¯t think it will take too much time?"


    This is a sensitive event. It is impossible for the Hollywood record company to reply to him on the spot. Ryan is not in a hurry. Anyway, this song only needs to be hummed. Even if it becomes a drake voice, it is not difficult for him. Talk slowly with them.


    Ryan¡¯s words at the press conference made him the focus of public attention again. At the same time, Tom Cruise also faced constant harassment from reporters and paparazzi, even though he denied that the boy was referring to him. But how could these guys believe that they started to chase and intercept him.


    This incident caused great repercussions. Even the Children¡¯s Association and the Federation of Teachers and Parents expressed their concern. Their spokesperson said that if Ryan Jenkins has been treated unfairly and slandered by others, he can ask them for help. , They will intervene when necessary.


    ¡­¡­


    Put on the sunglasses, pull down the brim of the baseball cap, Ryan looked around again, no one noticed him, and immediately beckoned to George on one side, and the two quickly walked into the coffee shop.


    Jinsli¡¯s client checked George¡¯s past. This veteran has an innocent net worth and has no bad records. After talking with him personally, George became Ryan¡¯s bodyguard and driver.


    At the same time, she also commissioned a well-known security company to hire two female bodyguards and assistants for Nicole.


    In a private room on the second floor, a middle-aged brown-haired man was waiting in it with Jin Sili. After seeing Ryan and the bodyguard come in, he unconsciously helped to remove the glasses on the bridge of his nose.


    "Mr. Sorkin, hello." After Jinsli introduced both parties, Ryan said hello.


    Alan Sorkin A Jew born in Manhattan, New York, a well-known drama screenwriter. The other party''s information quickly appeared in Ryan''s mind. Of course, it was not that he remembered him, but the information that Jinsli had prepared in advance.


    Speaking of it, Ryan almost came up with Oolong. Fortunately, he remembers that "Yihai Xiongfeng" was released at the end of 1992. Now that half of the year 1991 has passed, the script of the movie may have appeared. He specifically asked Jinsli to ask I wondered if there were any military court-themed scripts in Hollywood. As expected, Mr. Alan Sorkin was selling scripts everywhere.


    Ryan just looked at a sample he gave Jinsli, and despite the different names, he was still sure that this was "Yihai Xiongfeng".


    Originally, he just asked Pai Kingsley to buy the script under the name of Jenkins Pictures. Who knows, Alan Sorkin actually offered to meet him.


    "Mr. Jenkins, I don''t mean anything else. I just hope to get your authorization to adapt the "Toy Story" from the "Ryan Tales" into a children''s stage play." Sorkin directly expressed his intention.


    Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head a little, this incident was too unexpected, "Mr. Sorkin, can I ask about your specific plan?"


    "It''s like this, the children in my community like your work very much. Two months later, our community has a large-scale children''s charity event, so..."


    "Okay." It was just a small performance, Ryan nodded in response, "I will let Pat give you a free license."


    ...... Three shifts are on offer, drown me with collections and tickets~~ Two shifts tomorrow, three shifts can¡¯t afford to hurt temporarily~

 Chapter 60： Recording and dubbing

    The establishment of Jenkins Pictures was silent, without any movement. Except for a few people in the industry, not many people knew that there was another star shell film company in Hollywood. Even after the establishment, Ryan did not even look at it. , The entire company has a total of eight staff members, including two part-time jobs, Scott Swift and Pat Kingsley.


    Just like Ryan said, the company does not have much business. It neither invests in filming foreign scripts nor buys film distribution. All it needs to do is to dispatch the corresponding financial supervision personnel after the joint investment.


    Negotiations with Warner are fairly smooth, Hollywood has already had a trend towards large-scale investment and large-scale production. Joint investment and accounting cooperation is bound to become the mainstream in the future, and audience tastes are the most elusive thing, which can draw on Ryan Jenkins¡¯s The team invests together to reduce risk, so why not do it.


    What''s more, the investment quota requested by the other party only accounts for a quarter, which has not touched their bottom line.


    Negotiations with the Hollywood record company, after Ryan came to the audition room again and hummed a few songs, the Hollywood record company came up with unprecedented efficiency, quickly finalized the contract, and promised to record and release the single as soon as possible. song.


    "Ryan, I think the whole tune and singing should be more playful, try to reduce the irony, and the meaning of the lyrics is enough." In the recording studio, John Burns personally served as the producer of "he", Give your own opinions based on Ryan''s singing.


    Ryan is still very clear about the truth that it¡¯s too late. After thinking about it, he felt that what the other party said was reasonable. He should be a bystander, not a mocker. The content of the lyrics is enough to make people across the United States understand what it means. He There is no need to add too many personal likes and dislikes to the singing.


    "Okay, try again." Ryan put on the headset again.


    Burns breathed a sigh of relief. The boy¡¯s performance can be described as stunning. After the first time he entered the recording studio, he quickly found his state. However, there was a small problem in his singing. Often it is clear and can draw inferences from one another. In his opinion, his talent and talent in music far exceed writing!


    He wanted to say to him, "Give up writing and acting, your future lies in pop music."


    "The accompaniment needs to be changed, too." Ryan frowned after auditioning the recorded passages.


    "Hmm." Burns nodded in agreement.


    Ryan returned to the rest room on the other side, and George immediately delivered clear water. After he drank it all, he asked, "Is it still needed?"


    "No need." Ryan waved his hand, and then said, "George, bring me the training plan customized by the record company, thank you."


    After the contract was signed, the Hollywood Record Company not only sent someone to guide him, but also formulated a sound plan for the voice change period. After seeing it, Ryan was relieved a lot.


    After reading a few paragraphs, Ryan remembered something else. Al Sorkin finally sold the script to his shell company. He looked through it roughly, and the general plot did not change much. As for the different He didn''t plan to intervene in those subtleties, and directly gave the script to Miramax, and clearly stated that as long as there were no accidents, the script would definitely sell well.


    Even though Harvey Weinstein is a bit dissatisfied that this is not his original, he also accepted the suggestion of co-production. As for the male and female protagonists, naturally it will not be Tom Cruise and Demi Moore, Ryan gave The suggestion is Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman.


    Pete is just a third-line actor now, and he is not as handsome as that of a creampie. Although he lacks box office appeal, Nicole Kidman can make up for this to a certain extent. What''s more, using these two people can save money. Let the investment of the entire movie be discounted in half.


    This kind of film that embodies the American spirit and the main theme, as long as the director and producer do not have cramps, there is no problem in recovering the cost.


    What''s more, the fat Harvey Weinstein has always been very keen on the market, and can be ranked in the entire Hollywood.


    After several adjustments, this single was recorded for two full days. Especially the day after, Ryan''s condition got better and better. Burns directly overturned the clips used the previous day and re-recorded.


    If it weren¡¯t for Ryan¡¯s change of voice, it¡¯s not suitable for long-term high-intensity work, Burns would even want him to keep trying.


    Listening to the singing in the headset, Ryan shook his body lightly. His voice was very clean, with a hint of hoarseness, and a little bit of immaturity. It was just right for the lightness and playfulness that the song wanted to express. He heard it. , This song is at least one-third different from the original version of the previous life.


    That''s right, he borrowed the tune of "he" from "she" by the dancing wizard!


    is just the original relaxed and cheerful lyrics, which he changed into nondescript sarcasm.


    After finishing his short recording job, Ryan did not have a chance to relax. In addition to going to school and facing the harassment of paparazzi, he started to go to North Hollywood every day after school.


    Fortunately, now there is a strong bodyguard and driver, which can prevent him from a lot of trouble to some extent, such as the Jenkins couple who came to harass him, and, in Nicole¡¯s one hundred thousand After the sponsorship of US dollars, the school allowed his private car to drive directly into the campus for a certain distance to ensure that he can safely go to school.


    Ryan also had his first large expenditure, and that was his special car. Qian Nicole, who originally bought the car, wanted to bear it, but he forcibly refused. His future expenditures will become larger and larger. Is it really necessary to let Nicole Kidman was in charge until he turned sixteen?


    His original plan was to buy a Bentley or Rolls-Royce Silver Charm. After all, he had heard too much of these famous cars in his previous life, but he never rode it, but before Nicole¡¯s eyes turned cold, he quickly rejected his words, and finally I bought a newest Audi 90.


    George steadily parked the car in front of the T2 studio. The post-production of "Terminator 2" has entered the final stage. James Cameron often runs between Industrial Light and Magic and T2 studio. The main actors were also re-assembled by him to dub the edited samples.


    Although it is just a few clips, the huge investment of more than 100 million US dollars has put great pressure on Cameron. He has strict requirements on every detail, which is even worse than when he was on the set.


    "Ryan, what are you stupefying? We don''t have any extra time to waste!" Seeing Ryan''s slightly trance, Cameron burst out angrily, shocked Arnold Schwarzenegger quickly backed away. In case the fire of this city gate affects oneself.


    In the compact dubbing room, the only thing left is Cameron¡¯s roar. Ryan pinched his nose, took off the Mike, got up from the chair, and said unhurriedly, "Wait, Jim, you don¡¯t Is the sound of the T800 shooting with a shotgun too bad?"


    "Too bad?" Cameron seemed to be more angry, and shouted again, "Ryan Jenkins, you are only the star of this movie. The sound of the shotgun is not bad. It is up to my director to decide. "


    The corners of Ryan''s mouth trembled, and he understood that the other party was on the fire, and it was better not to care about him. In the sample just now, he heard the sound of T800 shooting with a shotgun. There is a huge difference from the previous film, and he can''t help but fall into it. In the memory.


    James Cameron suddenly stopped. After knowing Ryan for so long, he naturally knew that he would come up with some horrible ideas from time to time, and past experience proved that these ideas often have unexpected effects.


    "Okay, Ryan. What did you think of, can you just say it?"


    "For the dubbing of the shotgun, you use the sound of a shotgun, right?" Ryan asked.


    "Yes." Cameron recalled, "The gunshots are indeed hoarse and low."


    "Then why not have a more shocking sound? Only that kind of thrilling sound can match the powerful appearance of the T800?" Ryan rolled his eyes, "For example... the sound of howitzers or cannons."


    A picture immediately appeared in Cameron''s mind. The T800 pulled the trigger, the shotgun spewed out flames, and the T1000 fell to the ground. The loud noise resounded like a cannon bombarding a tank, echoing in the auditorium. The audience was terrified.


    After more than ten seconds, Cameron slowly nodded and shouted, "This is the end of today''s dubbing. Editing and scoring... No, UU Reading is to give the directors of all departments to I call, right away! I want to modify the sample!"


    Ryan and Schwarzenegger stared at each other. The style of this man is really resolute and vigorous. The tyrant director did not give them any face. "You can go, hurry up, especially Ryan, hurry up! Don''t give here. I am messing up."


    This is the demolition of the bridge across the river! Ryan sighed from the bottom of his heart and said to Schwarzenegger, "Arnold, let''s go."


    The two of them walked towards the gate, and saw the whole studio jumping around. They were caught in a frenzy, and they could only shake their heads and smile.


    James Cameron¡¯s pursuit of film can only be described in two words¡ªperfect¡ªeven though he knows that it is impossible to make a perfect film in this world, it does not prevent him from working hard in this direction.


    Especially, when Ryan saw his rough and sloppy image, he only sighed that the job of director is definitely not something ordinary people can do.


    The post-production of most films often exceeds the shooting time, especially with the development of film CG technology. Post-production will take longer and longer. A director can produce a qualified commercial film in a year, which is already a super fast Up.


    Of course, you can also make two or even three works a year, but the result of shoddy work is only one, and the market and investors will soon abandon you.


    If most of the post-production special effects were not outsourced to Industrial Light & Magic, it would be a big question whether "Terminator 2" could be released on the originally scheduled Independence Day.


    ...Two updates today. . Friends who read books, please click on the collection, thank you!

 Chapter 61： First single

    With the school holidays in the United States one after another, the hottest summer vacation of the year has arrived again. However, after entering June, the most eye-catching thing is not the sci-fi production "Terminator 2" that will be premiered on Independence Day. It wasn''t the giant red bear that was gradually reaching the end of the empire, and it wasn''t the Kuwaiti oil field that was still burning. It was a single that detonated the entire summer file first.


    "Good evening, friends, listeners, this is the National Public Radio Music Special. I am your old friend Mark Winster. Music is a bridge between people. Music can wash people¡¯s hearts. Sound like songs can make everyone enjoy endless aftertastes. A good song can accompany you to sleep. What is a good song? Don''t worry, listen to Mark recommend it to you!"


    "Maybe everyone has to complain, Mark, what kind of ghost do you recommend? Those are songs from the 1980s! Can you stop recommending Madonna and Whitney Houston? I have heard enough! Well, today Mark To satisfy your wish, I recommend a new song, a new song by an eleven-year-old boy, from Ryan Jenkins, yes! You heard that right, this Ryan Jenkins is the Los Angeles boy Ryan Jenkins. Okay, Before playing the song, I would like to give you a piece of advice. If you are eating or drinking, please swallow it immediately, otherwise you will be at your own risk."


    "Please enjoy the first single "he" by Super Genius!"


    The playful and brisk music has reached countless people''s ears through the radio. It is just a prelude, which has attracted the attention of a considerable number of people, but when Ryan''s pure and hoarse singing sounded, most of them People began to open their mouths wide.


    "He is the brightest star. He rises up and speaks beautifully, but his wonderful language is shocking. It turns out that it is the ice that can hurt people forever!


    The light flashed and the alarm bell rang, he was like the eyes of a dragon, staring at innocent children and beautiful women, and tortured them with slander..."


    him? Who is he? A handsome face flashed in front of the person who heard the song, and the appearance of a clever boy, could not help but laugh.


    The employees who were too heavy to lift their heads were relieved of the burden in laughter; the children who were entangled in the confusion of adolescence became cheerful again in laughter; the workers who were covered by unemployment gradually began to laugh in laughter Restored confidence.


    Just like countless music critics have said, excellent songs can always resonate with people. This song is catchy, but it is playful and full of sarcasm, which makes people unconsciously think of Ryan Jenkins and The contradiction between Tom Cruise came.


    They seemed to see a thin boy being bullied by an adult star, but unable to fight back. They could only hum such a song and escape from the star, leaving only a piece of ridicule.


    With the help of Disney¡¯s channels, this single was quickly sold in major record stores, and with such a boo¡¯s head in front of them, how could the big papers and tabloids let it go? They re-read all the things that happened between the two people. The big TV station replayed the video of the conflict again.


    For a time, Ryan Jenkins and Tom Cruise became the names known to the streets in the United States. Even if they were interviewing homeless people on the street, they could say something about the past between the two.


    But the difference is that Ryan is on the side of justice again. After all, there is no curse in the whole song, and the tune is not somber and vicious, more like a child''s naughty work.


    Tom Cruise became the object of public criticism again. I don¡¯t know which tabloid newspaper actually bought the best Jenkins couple. They took the initiative to reveal that they were not Ryan Jenkins¡¯ parents. People instructed and got a lot of money.


    Although there is no evidence pointing to Tom Cruise, the media still used vague vocabulary such as ¡®maybe¡¯, ¡®probably¡¯, and ¡®probably¡¯ to put this hat on the head of the creampie.


    In order to attract attention, these guys won''t care even if they are planted to Jehovah. Besides, this matter may not necessarily be planted.


    It has to be said that the evil results of Tom Cruise¡¯s loss of Pie Kingsley in this life have been revealed. The current agent¡¯s limited crisis public relations capabilities have made him more and more passive, and even his fans have been interviewed. Expressed disappointment with his idol.


    "I''m very disappointed. I have always liked Tommy, but I don''t understand why he, a grown-up superstar, has to deal with minors so deliberately. Such a person is not worthy of my continued admiration!"


    Such a topical and controversial song, it is hard not to be popular, not to mention, the quality of this song is definitely the best choice, plus more than a year, whether it is a book fan or a movie fan, Ryan has a number Many die-hard fans, these people can not help in his conflict with Tom Cruise, but can support their idols by buying singles.


    Many media even asked Ryan if he was Tom Cruise through various methods. Ryan is not a fool, so naturally he won''t admit it. Anyway, everyone just tells it.


    Maybe adults will be happy to listen to it and put it aside, but in the eyes of teenagers, this is a rare good song, especially this ingenious way of fighting back, more in line with their tastes, you know, now ** Eminem has not yet debuted , Little Taylor can''t even count as Lolita. This playful way of cursing people without dirty words is extremely attractive.


    While teenagers are the main consumer group in the entertainment market, Ryan has the title of super genius, and the sales of this single can be imagined.


    After the first week, "he" has sold 113,000 copies, which is incomparable with long-established singers, but for newcomers in the music industry, it is already a very good result.


    It makes people laugh and cry. This song has become the first choice for cursing. Many teenagers modify the lyrics, add the objects they hate, and hum around. This makes the influence of this song continue to expand, and the number of on-demand broadcasts on the radio has increased rapidly, and further Driven the sales of singles.


    After the latest issue of the bulletin board came out, "he" directly took the seventh place.


    It¡¯s just that compared to songs, almost all the media have focused their attention on the singer. After all, the boy was so surprising, even after the video of the conflict between him and Tom Cruise was exposed, most people knew about him. He also has extraordinary creative talents in music, but he did not expect that he actually released a single, still in this jaw-dropping way.


    After the new issue of "Rolling Stone" magazine was published, I just briefly evaluated the song, and the main goal was still Ryan Jenkins.


    "There is no doubt that "he" is an excellent song. Ryan used a relaxed humming to show the agility and mischief of this song. Even if his singing still has certain flaws, don''t forget, he I''m only eleven years old this year, and it''s commendable to be able to do so at this age."


    "In addition, Ryan is not only the singer of this song, but also the songwriter, and this single should be just a test of the water, presumably this Los Angeles boy will release his own record soon."


    Compared with other media, Mick Taylor of the Los Angeles Times once again received exclusive news and disclosed in the entertainment column: "We learned from within Disney that "he" was when Ryan finished his press conference at Disney. After returning to the lounge, it took only half an hour to compose. Think about the time he spent half an hour in the Hilton Hotel to create another song. Maybe we should call him Mr. Half an hour?"


    "Obviously, Ryan Jenkins is a masterpiece of God. He has outstanding artistic talent. He has shown extraordinary attainments in literature, film, music, etc., and he is a gem that God bestows on Hollywood."


    A few days later, Hollywood Records also accepted an interview with reporters, and music director John Burns said so.


    "Yes, we signed a record contract with Ryan. "He" is indeed a test of the waters. What? Sales? No, no, no, it is not beyond our expectations, how good this song is , How good is Ryan, I think everyone in the United States knows, don¡¯t they? In my opinion, Ryan has a rare musical talent, even far beyond writing and acting. Among his peers, he is the best ."


    "Yes, I have something to say to him, Ryan, you should put all your energy into music, here you will achieve amazing achievements. Well, I hope his fans and fans will not do this. **** off."


    "Ryan''s album? It will not be released in the short term. The reason? It is very simple. He is now in the voice change period and we must protect his vocal cords. Yes, as long as the voice change period passes, we will put the album on the agenda. ."


    "Receiving songs? No need. In fact, Ryan has already prepared the songs for the album. That''s right! All the lyrics and music will be done by him."


    With the passage of time, the popularity of this song became more and more popular. After the second week, "he" unexpectedly reached the top position of the bulletin boardRyan has himself The first single of the championship, and the single sales reached 250,000, the Hollywood record company finally saw the light and found an opportunity to get a piece of the pie in the record market.


    "Reid, the record company is ready to put the album on the agenda as long as Ryan Jenkins conditions permit. I must have someone to provide services for him during the voice change period and provide timely feedback on his situation as long as Ryan Jenkins conditions permit. "


    Disney is holding a board of directors. As the leaders of recent key projects, Reed Miles and Carter Eisner are allowed to make an exception. It is CEO Michael Eisner who speaks.


    "Carter, when will the sequel to "Home Alone" start?" he asked his nephew.


    "Ryan refused the request for acting. He has authorized us to write the script and make a sequel." Carter explained quickly. "Actually, Ryan has developed too fast this year. Whether he is tall or looks, he is really not suitable to continue. Acting in this funny and cute child role."


    Disney¡¯s directors recalled Ryan¡¯s current appearance and nodded. Indeed, if he were to appear in the sequel, it might be a disaster.


    "However, he recommended us a suitable candidate." Carter added, "Macauley Culkin, who once appeared in "Uncle Buck", has been in contact with him. ratio."

 Chapter 62： Outing

    "The mission of art is to use perceptual images to show the truth. It should give people spiritual vitality and encouragement, rather than showing a cold fist to life!" Natalie stared at her face like a proud cockfight. Ryan with disdain. "Am I wrong?"


    "But Leo Tolstoy said that the best art is art that everyone can understand!" Ryan also lifted his chin. "What is "Last Tango in Paris"? It''s both dull and boring. How many people like it? Except for Marlon Brando¡¯s acting skills, it¡¯s nothing at all? As for Bellutocchi, does he understand what the audience wants to see?"


    "The Silent Lamb is not much better. A large number of cruel, horrible and **** shots dilute the theme it wants to express, and its artistic performance is at least one grade worse than the "Last Tango in Paris"." Natalie then retorted.


    "You can''t deny that "The Silent Lambs" is more popular, Nat, or that sentence, the film is not made by the director for himself. He must consider the market''s acceptance."


    This was on the wagon heading to Yosemite National Park. Ryan and Natalie sat in the back row of eleven wagons and had a heated debate.


    Natalie came to Los Angeles yesterday. Mr. Avner came here to attend a medical conference and simply took his daughter. It was not until after she got off the plane that Natalie notified Ryan. Fortunately, Ryan and Ni But although he decided to go out on a field trip with the Swift family to avoid the increasingly crazy reporters, he hadn''t set off yet and happened to take her with her.


    The two hadn¡¯t seen each other for a long time, and there was a lot to say, but the topic turned to the movie, and naturally they discussed the hottest "Silent Lamb" this year.


    "But art is rigorous!" Natalie turned her body halfway, and faced Ryan.


    "Really? In the "Last Tango in Paris", so many **** scenes are really necessary?"


    "Ryan! Nat!"


    Nicole couldn''t bear it, turned her head, and stopped drinking and wanted to continue the debate. "I want to ask, who accompanied you to watch "The Last Tango in Paris" and "The Silent Lamb"? It''s your age. Should I see it? Ryan, it looks like I should ban your feet when I go back, and Nat, I think I should talk to Mrs. Shelly on the phone."


    The cockfighting boys and girls finally frustrated, glared at each other, and looked at the scenery outside the windows of each other.


    "Aren''t they good friends? Why have they argued since yesterday?"


    Putting the sleeping Taylor in a different position, Mrs. Andrea asked in a low voice curiously.


    "Don''t mention it." Nicole waved his hand. "The two of them have known each other for almost two years. Whether they call or communicate, they are like this. They are like natural opponents, but they have very good feelings."


    Yosemite National Park is located in the eastern part of California. It is as famous as Yellowstone National Park and is one of the most beautiful natural national parks in the western region.


    Two cars came with them. In addition to the eleven station wagon, George also drove a Chevrolet SUV in the back.


    "Wow, so...beautiful~"


    As soon as I got out of the car, little Taylor saw a continuous forest. The climate here is pleasant, much cooler than the hot Los Angeles.


    The scenery here is very beautiful. After entering the valley, a group of people went straight to the Butterfly Forest in Nanshan, where there is a large area of ??Old World Lord Forest. These red cedar trees are tall and thick, and many of them cannot be enclosed in a circle. .


    Although the greening of cities in the United States is very good, for people who live in the city all year round, it is a good place to relax and relax. The only downside is that there are a lot of tourists. After all, it is well-known all over the world. Tourist attraction.


    After visiting the rocky area again, everyone simply went to the stream and canyon with less traffic, and found a flat place for a short rest.


    "Ryan, catch the butterfly... take me there, okay?" Little Taylor didn''t let anyone relax for a moment.


    "My dear, there are wolves and lions here. You can''t run around." Ryan simply threatened, but the little girl less than two years old knew how terrible these two animals were, and clapped her hands and said, "Lions? In the zoo? Is that kind? Great, Ryan, and Nat, catch the lion... take me there."


    Ryan has the urge to vomit blood. Fortunately, Mr. Scott looked at the time and said, "It''s getting late. Let''s go to the log cabin area. If it''s too late, we won''t find a place to live."


    "There are no real wild lions in the Americas!" Natalie gave him a look that you are really illiterate.


    "Is the puma not a lion?" Ryan reflexively retorted, and also gave Natalie an uneducated look in your eyes.


    "Too lazy to care about you." Natalie gave him the back of his head directly.


    The wooden house area is in this valley. Although it is open to tourists, the management is extremely strict. If there is littering and tree destruction, the high fines can directly turn tourists into beggars. , But it is these strict regulations that are close to harsh that make this national park prosperous.


    The group rented three big wooden houses, the Swift family, Nicole and Natalie, and the boy and George lived in one each.


    Taylor slept all the way when he came, and now it was a time of vigorous energy, clamoring for Ryan and Natalie to accompany her to catch the lion, making the group cry helpless.


    "Taylor, catching lions is not fun at all. If you don''t believe me, you can ask George. He has been in Africa and has seen many lions." He moved a few chairs casually, and a few people sat on the grass in front of the wooden house. The unscrupulous Ryan really couldn''t pester the little girl, so he had to push his bodyguard out.


    "Really? George? Africa...Where is it, is it far away? Is it fun?" Taylor asked with blinking eyes.


    "It''s not fun." George smiled, just as the story started, "The grasslands and forests there are full of dangers, not only lions, but also dangerous animals like cheetahs."


    "The king of beasts... lions?" Tyler blinked, then pointed to Ryan and said, "Ryan said... the last time I went to the zoo."


    "On the African grasslands, the most dangerous animal is not the lion." Seeing the eyes of the people around him, George simply shrugged and said, "One time when I was out on a mission, I was surrounded by a group of jackals. On the African grasslands, the most terrifying things are not lions and cheetahs, but jackals with red eyes."


    He pointed to the scar on the brow bone and said, "This is what was left from that time. I had only three bullets left in my gun at the time. After shooting three jackals, I could only fight them in close hands. Okay. When I was lucky enough, it was them who died. Although I suffered a lot of injuries, I was finally able to hold on until the support came."


    After finishing speaking, he patted Taylor''s little hand, "So, Taylor, catching lions is not so fun."


    When everyone heard him say this, they were a little emotional. There are not many stable countries in Africa.


    Nicole suddenly became a little worried. In her eyes, soldiers, especially those who have seen blood, are dangerous animals. Especially in preparation for "Yihai Xiongfeng", she consulted a lot of information about the army and knew that many Marines were there. After retiring from the army, either become a professional mercenary or go on a crooked road because of his livelihood. Is it really appropriate for Ryan to be with him?


    That is the person who is most important to herself, if the other party treats him...Nicole suddenly didn''t dare to think about it anymore, she felt that she should find another bodyguard for Ryan.


    "Wait." Ryan suddenly felt that he had overlooked an extremely important thing, which seemed to be related to what George said, but couldn''t remember, "George, what did you just say? Lion? And jackals?"


    "Yes." George nodded. "The most dangerous thing in Africa is not the lion, but the hungry red-eyed jackal. Is there a problem?"


    "I X!" Ryan exploded with a Chinese swear word, and he finally remembered what he had forgotten, Lion! Jackal! Africa! Hamlet! Prince''s Revenge!


    Whether it was adapting the novel at the beginning or writing the script later, he even forgot the most glorious work of 2D animation, and he did not forbid him to shoot his forehead.


    "I''m really a pig head." Ryan scolded himself in his heart.


    "Ryan, you are swearing." Natalie spoke unhurriedly.


    "Expletive?" Ryan felt inexplicable.


    "Don''t deny it." Natalie has a clear expression. "I have been learning Chinese since last year. I often go to Chinatown to find people to practice. I have met many Chinese students who used the words you just said to curse. "


    "You...why do you want to learn Chinese?" Ryan was surprised. He knew that Natalie in her previous life was proficient in several languages, but UU reading had never heard of her being able to speak Chinese.


    "Since you speak Chinese so fluently, I will naturally surpass you." She said it for granted.


    "Okay, okay." Ryan looked at Nicole, and saw that she didn''t say anything, and then said, "I apologize, it''s okay."


    Anyway, an apology will not cost money, and there will be no less meat! He started duplicity again.


    "Ryan, then you hit yourself... why did you just now?" Taylor asked curiously.


    "Ah..." Ryan opened his mouth and said to his heart that you are a little kid, where is so much curiosity, but when everyone sees it, he scratched his head and said, "After listening to George''s experience, I suddenly have Inspiration, maybe you can write a story about Africa."


    "African story?"


    Everyone knows the boy after all, knowing that he must have some good idea.


    "Yes, move Shakespeare''s "Prince''s Revenge" to the African savannah." He waved his hand to stop Natalie who wanted to express her opinion. "It''s not a story between people. The protagonist is a lion, and one is called a lion. ¡­Simba¡¯s Lion!"


    "Animation?" After Natalie asked, she suddenly lost interest.


    "Like Mickey Mouse... um... Do you have an animation like Donald Duck?" Tyler interjected.


    "Correct."


    Ryan nodded, and after thinking about it, ran into the room and got the easel.


    ...Two updates today~in the weekend codeword, thank you for your support~

 Chapter 63： Robin

    Ryan''s drawing level can only be considered average, the sketch is slightly better, and the easel is set up. He ignores the people who continue to chat, takes out the colored pencils, and slowly outlines the lion in his memory on the drawing.


    "What is Ryan doing? I want to go over and see." Tyler moved his short legs and walked towards the boy. Natalie quickly hugged her back, "Taylor, don''t disturb Ryan. May I accompany you to play games..."


    Time passed by one minute and one second, and it was not until it was getting late that Ryan put down the pencil in his hand. When everyone saw that he was finished, they all surrounded him.


    I saw a male lion on the drawing paper. It stood with its head high, and its long brown-red mane formed a somewhat alternative big head. Even in a completely cartoon style, it made people feel its mighty power.


    "This is Simba, how do you feel?" Ryan asked.


    "It''s weird, it''s different from what you saw in the zoo~" Taylor bit his finger.


    "My dear, it seems that you are going to be busy again." Nicole said with emotion, how could she not understand, this means that Ryan is about to start a new creation again, as short as one month, as long as several months or even Half a year.


    Natalie curled her lips, looked away from the drawing, and said, "Ryan, can you be more naive? You can create more in-depth themes. Why should you always focus on children''s themes? ?"


    "Dear Nat, this is not a child theme. I said it. It just changed the expression of Prince''s Revenge. Don''t you think Shakespeare''s works have no meaning?" Ryan put the draft away and handed it to George. Then began to rebut. "This is not a subject for children, it is a subject for all ages, and such works are more popular in the market."


    "Market? Ryan, you are only eleven years old, but I can smell the smell of copper on you!"


    "Hey, Nat, there is no money, art is just yellow leaves floating on the water!"


    Nicole pulled the Raswifts and gave the place to two arguing guys. She knew that the two people arguing would not end for a while.


    The wild life is happy and comfortable. Even if you quarrel with Natalie occasionally, it will not affect the mood of everyone. There are no reporters and paparazzi, and there is no media hype and reporting, so Ryan is rare to relax. Next, as for "The Lion King", it is only 91 years old, and I am not in a hurry. Besides, he does not plan to take another film this year. One work of "Terminator 2" is enough, and there is still plenty of time.


    Of course, this kind of life would be even more wonderful if there weren''t some kid¡¯s troubles.


    "Don''t forget, Ryan, you still owe me two robins. I heard the robins in the woods with my dad just now. You have to help me catch them." Tyler pulled the boy''s clothes hard. Horn, seems to be much fluent in speaking.


    Ryan had a defeated expression, put the violin away, shrugged helplessly to Natalie, "Hungarian Carnival can only be here, another day."


    "All right." Natalie sat on a short tree fork and stretched out a little. "Compared to the guitar, your violin is really poor."


    "No way, too little practice." Ryan shrugged, indeed, compared to professional guitars and pianos, his violin level is at best just getting started.


    "Ryan!" Tyler probably felt neglected, suddenly he curled his mouth, and when he opened his eyes, he was about to cry.


    "Don''t cry!"


    Ryan hurriedly picked up the little girl and said, "No problem, let''s catch the robin right away!"


    Hell the robin! Ryan scratched his head vigorously. This is a protected area. What does he use to catch birds? Can''t he get a gun? George has a legal license to hold a gun, but if he dares to touch a gun, Nicole Kidman will definitely take him back to Los Angeles immediately and stay in the villa for a summer vacation.


    However, this is not difficult for him. After all, he lived in a country full of diligence and wisdom in his previous life, and the creative ability of the working people is the greatest.


    snapped his fingers at George. After he came over, he whispered a few words in a low voice. Mr. Bodyguard took them back to the log cabin area, and it didn''t take long to buy the tools they needed.


    "Can this work?" Natalie asked suspiciously.


    "Do you have a better way?" Ryan looked at the bamboo basket and hemp rope in his hand. He was a little bit dumbfounded. It seems that this thing only works when it''s freezing cold? I''m really crazy, I''m going to be tossed crazy by this kid who cries for you at every turn.


    Taylor, who was held by George, smiled, pointed the road indiscriminately, and returned to the grove. Ryan listened carefully, and there was indeed the sound of birds. As for whether it was a **** robin, only God knew.


    Looking for a place that is almost flat, Ryan set up the bamboo basket, sprinkled a lot of crumbs underneath, and hid behind a tree in the distance with a twine.


    "This method is too stupid." Natalie leaned behind the tree and didn''t show him any mercy.


    "Do you have a better way?" Ryan retorted, and Natalie curled her lips, but said nothing.


    This is indeed a stupid way, and the season is not suitable. Ten minutes passed, and half an hour passed. Although the sound of birds singing around was constant, there was still no one willing to throw themselves into the snare. The little Taylor''s mouth over there was again. He started to skew it, as if she would cry for him at any time.


    I hate robins! Ryan cursed in a low voice, causing Natalie beside her to chuckle.


    Maybe God has mercy on the world. A black-backed and yellow-breasted bird suddenly flew down from a tree and landed on the grass. Dou''s big eyes were rolling around, seeming to be checking the surroundings.


    "Yeah~" Little Taylor clearly knew this bird, and pointed it in that direction to scream. Fortunately, Ryan moved fast enough and rushed to her side and covered her small mouth.


    "Shh~" Ryan raised his index finger to his lips, and the opposite was indeed a robin.


    The big, three and four people all held their breath, like a thief who stole a manhole cover, carefully stretched out half of their head, watching the robin jump forward step by step, getting closer and closer to the bamboo basket.


    "Pull!"


    Robin finally did not resist the temptation of the breadcrumbs, and jumped under the bamboo basket, Natalie quickly reminded.


    "àÛ~"


    Ryan pulled gently, and the bamboo basket fell down, covering the robin underneath.


    "yes~"


    Ryan and Natalie clapped hard, and then ran over. He skillfully caught the bird from under the bamboo basket. This is a typical adult North American robin, about eight inches long, in order to prevent it. To escape, Ryan simply intercepted a piece of hemp rope and tied it to the bird''s leg.


    "My! My! This is... mine!" Tyler struggled and jumped off George, and couldn''t wait to grab the rope that held the bird in his little hand.


    The little girl was happy, and the others were also relieved, but they had just walked out of the small woods before they reached the wooden house they rented, and they ran into a big problem.


    "Sir, are you their guardian?" The staff member looked at the bird being pulled by the little girl, and asked George in an unkind tone, "Your behavior has violated the rules of the park."


    "What''s the matter?" Nicole and others walked over at this time, and when they saw the bird that wanted to fly but couldn''t fly, she couldn''t help covering her forehead at the same time.


    The robin is not a rare bird. If you catch one in another place, no one will care at all, but this is a national park. This staff member seems to be a more serious person again. If he is another animal protection The members of the organization are even more troublesome.


    "Nicole...Miss Nicole Kidman?" The staff member changed his face suddenly, "Are you Miss Kidman?"


    It¡¯s just that his transition from an animal protection fighter to a brain fan is so fast that everyone can¡¯t adapt to it for a while. This guy took out a book and pen from his pocket and handed it over, but looking at the look of the book, I don''t know what it was originally used for.


    "Are you? Eric Larson? Okay." Nicole quickly paddled on the notebook, "Eric Larson, your sky will be as beautiful as Yosemite National Park."


    "Can you give this bird to me?"


    "Of course." Nicole nodded.


    "No~ I don''t want it!" Taylor said that he would not give anything, even if Mrs. Andrea kept persuading him, in desperation, he had to untie the twine forcibly.


    "Wow~" The girl''s loud cry and the whole sky was restless.


    Ryan lowered his mouth, and before everyone noticed him, he picked up Natalie and left quickly. Nothing else, the ghost knew that after the little girl had finished crying would he come to look for him again? The trouble of this age is a privileged class. Can he not afford to provoke him?


    I just didn''t expect that after returning to the wooden house, I saw an unexpected person.


    "Pat?" Ryan was a little surprised, why did the agent lady come here.


    "Oh, Ryan, your voice..." I haven''t seen you for a week, and Pie Kingsley was obviously surprised.


    "It''s nothing." Ryan smiled. He has a standard drake voice. Natalie has been ridiculed in the past few days. "What happened? How did you get here?"


    "There are a few things." Jinsli looked at Natalie, and after the boy indicated that it was okay, she continued, ""Yihai Xiongfeng" is being prepared, Nicole has to go back sooner, "Bodyguard" has reached an agreement with Warner. , You and Nicole are required to sign, and..."


    She sighed, "Disney wants you to continue to write the script for "Home Alone 2". James asked me to inform you. Don''t forget to attend the premiere of Independence Day. Johnson & Johnson wants you to be the spokesperson for their children''s toiletries."


    Ryan walked around the room and said, "Disney has figured out a way to push it, don¡¯t worry, Pat, you tell them, I¡¯m focusing on creating an animation script, as for Johnson & Johnson..."


    He knocked on his head and suddenly laughed, "You can talk to them first, the spokesperson can, but it doesn¡¯t cost me too much time. Tell them that I can write a special song for their children¡¯s products, but it¡¯s up to me. After the voice change period."


    ¡­¡­Thank you friends for your rewards and tickets~ The second one will be sent, please collect~ please recommend~

 Chapter 64： amusement park

    Natalie is young, but very smart. Even if she knows that she and Ryan are best friends, she will never ask about things that shouldn¡¯t be heard. After Jinsli and Ryan have said nothing, she Take the initiative to walk out of the wooden house.


    Seeing Natalie disappear, Ryan laughed. After thinking for a while, he said, "Pat, I have a suggestion."


    "Oh?" Jin Lisi''s eyes lit up, to know that Ryan''s past advice to her, although it seemed unreliable, brought her a huge help.


    "Sign Nat." Ryan has recognized Jinsli''s ability. Instead of letting Natalie run under another agent, she might as well stay by her side. "Her talent in acting far exceeds I."


    Jinsli naturally knows who Nat is referring to, and understands that Ryan and her are extremely good friends, but when it comes to acting, they are better than him? How is that possible.


    "I''m not kidding." Ryan''s face became solemn, "Nate started learning dance at the age of four, and began performing in the theater at the age of six. If you have time, you can go to Long Island, where you can see the community theater. Nat¡¯s performance, of course, you are my agent, Nat itself is not a problem, you have to convince his parents."


    "Then...I will try my best." Jinsili nodded gently.


    "Actually, I have prepared a script for Nat." Ryan made a secret gesture and continued, "Nat is a little younger now, wait for next year or the next year."


    In fact, Ryan knows very well that even if Jinsli can win Natalie¡¯s contract, she can only be responsible for her performance in Hollywood. I am afraid she will still let Mrs. Shelly serve as her manager as she did in her previous life. This smart ''S girl will not give her destiny to other people, even if this person is her best friend.


    With the arrival of Jinsli, it was announced that they had reached the end of this safari. One day later, the group returned to Los Angeles.


    After learning that Ryan refused to write for "Home Alone 2", Disney expressed dissatisfaction through Jinsili, but when he heard that he was working hard to create an animation script, he immediately threw his dissatisfaction behind his head.


    Animation is Disney¡¯s housekeeping skills. Although Michael Eisner¡¯s investment in animation has been reduced year by year after he took the stage, once an animated film is successful, the profit far exceeds that of a live-action movie. Regardless of the box office, it is only the peripheral benefits. Can reach a terrifying number.


    "Is this the Oscar statuette?" Natalie was standing in front of the glass cupboard in Ryan''s room, "Can I show it out?"


    "Of course, if you like it, I will give it to you."


    Ryan is sorting out the set drafts, a bunch of cartoon animal colored pencil sketches, the mighty lion Simba, the wise old baboon, the despicable jackal Sanchi, the sinister and vicious scars and so on.


    "I don''t want it." Natalie wrinkled her nose and said proudly, "One day I will get my own golden figure, or the one with the heaviest weight."


    Ryan didn¡¯t bother to argue with her. Carter Eisner was waiting for him in the reception room. ¡°Nat, you stay here for a while. If you¡¯re bored, there are books on the shelf and my new manuscripts on the desk.¡±


    "Hmm~"


    In the living room, Carter Eisner was walking around. After learning that Ryan was working on an animation script, he rushed over immediately, even though Touchstone Pictures was only in charge of live action movies.


    "Hi, Carter, it''s been a long time." After he drank the second cup of coffee, Ryan finally appeared in the living room, "Sorry, I have kept you waiting for a long time. I want to sort out the set draft. , It took some time."


    Seeing a stack of paintings handed over by Ryan, Carter immediately took it. Although the level of these paintings was quite different from that of Disney''s hand-painted masters, he still saw something.


    "A story about Africa and lions?" he asked.


    "That''s right." Ryan nodded vigorously, "This is the draft of some of the characters. I have almost conceived the main line outline of the script. This script is called "The Lion King", the prairie version of Prince''s Revenge."


    "When can we sign the contract?" Carter Eisner knew very well that the film company outside wanted to get the right to adapt the boy''s script and work to form an enhanced group.


    Ryan immediately dropped a black line, and he hasn''t officially started writing, "Carter, don''t worry, the script is only set up now! This is an animated script, and I will definitely work with Disney first."


    Then, he added in his heart, the premise is that you can meet my conditions.


    "how long."


    "One summer."


    "It''s too long, isn''t it?" Carter Eisner complained, others don''t know, he doesn''t know yet, if this young man really wants to do his best, he will be able to drive out a script in at most twenty days.


    "Carter, you know, it will be July soon. I will be involved in the promotion of "Terminator 2" and I will also conceive the fourth episode of Harry Potter. There is not much in a summer." Ryan looked at the time. "Let¡¯s stop here today. I have friends from New York who have come to Los Angeles. I¡¯m going to Disneyland next. After the script is finished, I will let Pat contact you."


    "Well, Ryan." Ryan''s reputation has always been very good. Since he said so, Carter believes that as long as the conditions are equal, he will definitely choose Disney. "Also, Reid asked me to remind you to take care of it. voice."


    The black Audi drove out of the villa. George drove two laps on Beverly Hills. He threw off his tail and headed straight for Disneyland near San Marino. Although Natalie was clever and precocious, she was very interested in this place. Interested.


    After getting out of the car, Ryan wore a baseball cap and a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. Because the long hair retained in the filming of "Terminator 2" was cut into the habitual short hair long ago, the image has changed a lot, plus the constant The developed body, few people will recognize him without looking carefully.


    For Ryan, apart from a few projects such as roller coasters and pirate ships, he doesn¡¯t have much interest in Disneyland, but Natalie is different after all. She is a real ten-year-old girl who enjoys playing. I would go to take a photo with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, and after a while I jumped among the seven dwarfs, and looked very happy.


    "Give you this." Natalie bought two masks, handed one to Ryan, and she quickly put the other on her head, but it was Minnie''s head.


    "Why is Donald Duck mine?" Ryan muttered dissatisfied.


    "Because you are sometimes as verbose and annoying as Donald Duck." Natalie couldn''t help but put her mask on her head after she took it off, "It''s so good, no one will recognize you as Ryan Jenkins."


    "Ah~"


    Amid the harsh screams, even though Minnie¡¯s mask was covering, Natalie closed her eyes, Ren Ruien chirped in the wind and said not to open anything, and beside the two of them, they were also screaming. Tourists.


    Finally, the roller coaster stopped, and most of the passengers on it were all mixed up. Natalie felt like her feet were stepping on cotton. With Ryan''s support, she finally stood up and swayed forward. When she walked, if she didn''t put half of her body''s weight on the boy, she would definitely fall to the ground.


    "Ryan, you bastard! How could I have listened to you, go ride this **** roller coaster!" Natalie said angrily as she walked.


    "Hey, Nat, you were yelling in excitement just now!" Ryan was utterly arrogant, talking nonsense with his eyes open.


    "Ryan Jenkins! I think your head must have been dizzy! That''s fear! Fear! Do you understand? Don''t tell me you are a fool now!"


    If it weren''t for her body to be weak, her legs trembling, and she didn''t have enough strength, Natalie would really like to jump up and take a bite on this guy''s hateful face.


    "Wow, there is a pirate ship over there, it is said to be very interesting, Nat, shall we go?" Ryan deliberately pointed at the pirate ship in the distance, and the harsh nature was undoubtedly revealed.


    "Ryan...Jenkins~"


    Natalie deliberately prolonged the ending sound. After feeling the strength in her legs, she finally couldn''t bear it. She raised her foot and stepped on it. The heels of her little leather boots fell on Ryan''s feet. When he looked down in pain, The little mouth opened suddenly and bit his cheek severely.


    "It hurts... It hurts... Nat, let go, are you a puppy? If you bite again, I will fight back!"


    However, it¡¯s okay for Ryan not to threaten. As soon as he said this, Natalie simply put his arms around his neck so that he could hardly break free. If it weren¡¯t for the two being younger, it would look like a couple crazy. Affectionate couple.


    After a while, Natalie loosened her teeth. Ryan rubbed his face vigorously, and subconsciously moved away from some crazy little girls. He didn''t expect that as smart and precocious as Natalie, there would be such a childish side.


    Natalie wrinkled her nose, shook her small fist at him, raised her head, like a victorious Caesar, and walked proudly to the rest area.


    "Ryan, what''s wrong with you, why do you always cover your face?"


    After returning to the rest area, George watched Ryan always cover half of his face with one hand, very curious.


    Damn it! Ryan yelled from the bottom of his heart, then glared at the triumphant Natalie and then said, "I was bitten by a crazy puppy."


    "Puppy?"


    "Ryan, is it itchy on the other side of your face, do you want me to take another bite on it?" Natalie opened her small mouth and kept grinding her silver white teeth, seeming to miss the one just now. feel.


    "Wait...wait, Nat, I''m going to buy the hottest hot sauce and put it on my face, bite it!"


    "Ryan, don''t think that I won''t dare to bite you, don''t forget, you still have ears!"


    "God! You came to be real, my ears are about to fall, Natalie, I swear! One day you will pay for your actions today! I swear to God and Satan at the same time!"


    George finally understood what was going on, but cleverly remained silent, letting a pair of boys and girls become a group


    ...I changed what I wrote this week yesterday, and I feel my head is about to explode. Thank you for your support! Long-winded sentence, use collections and tickets to wake me up! I continue to modify the text today... Another friend mentioned the issue of the Lion King. Disney did establish a project in 90 years, but the earliest project team was only a few people. It took quite a long time to determine the script and the image of the animated characters. The time, and the production of hand-drawn animation can be called tortoise speed, not only related to creation, but also related to Disney¡¯s operation. They often start several animation projects at the same time, dispersing funds and strength... I have written in the related section, The protagonist¡¯s Hollywood is a little bit different. For novels, don¡¯t take it seriously. All those who stand in the way of the protagonist are kicked off. Of course, as a sloppy person, we will not make things too outrageous.

 Chapter 65： Terminator 2 premiere

    The crazy old Ford car, like an old scalper sprinting with all its strength, drove in the sparse traffic, surpassing one car after another, but still maintained a proper speed to avoid attracting the police.


    "John, be careful, if you break the camera, I promise, the editor will kill us both!"


    Ryan¡¯s old acquaintance, Mick Taylor, the ace reporter for the entertainment edition of the Los Angeles Times, was staring viciously at his new partner at this time.


    "Mick, if you don''t hurry up, I promise the editor-in-chief will still kill us tomorrow. Think about it. That was the premiere of "Terminator 2", the premiere of a sci-fi production with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars! It¡¯s too late when I come out. If you don¡¯t hurry, you will definitely not get a good position!"


    Hearing this, Mick Taylor could only stop ranting, no wonder his new partner, who let his stomach lose his breath, ran to the bathroom several times before coming out.


    "Damn KFC, I swear, I won''t eat burgers again!" Mick could only slap the seat hard.


    "Hey, Mick, don¡¯t have to do this, don¡¯t you know Ryan Jenkins very well, let him reveal some exclusive information casually, it will be enough for us to deal with." The assistant gave him an idea next to him, "You know , As long as the news that touches him is a mess."


    Mick Taylor could only smile helplessly, why didn''t he know this, think about what happened in the past six months?


    At the age of eleven, he won the Oscar nominations for best original screenplay and best supporting actor, and won the best supporting actor''s golden figure, becoming a match for Shirley Temple and Judy Foster A child star on a par.


    The third episode of the Harry Potter series was officially published. It only took a week to get to the top of the bestseller list in the United States, setting a record for three books by the same author to be in the top ten at the same time.


    An acceptance speech at the Oscars ceremony triggered a great storm. While sending the dean of the orphanage who had abused him to prison, it also allowed the entire North America to have an unprecedented discussion over orphans and the orphanage. , The Supreme Court also formulated the "Jenkins Act" for this purpose.


    Conflict with Tom Cruise broke out at the charity dinner. In the voice of the other party¡¯s doubts, inspiration and creativity were gained on the spot. It took less than three hours to dictate a script, and then it only took more than half an hour. Write a love song that complements the plot of the script, and let Tom Cruise go away in disgrace.


    In 1990, the income from movies alone was as high as more than 16 million US dollars. It must be the highest annual income child star in Hollywood history. For this reason, it also led to a farce of family recognition.


    A press conference was held, and the famous saying that is still being talked about so far-the person who provides the sperm and eggs does not mean that they are relatives-and at the same time believes that the farce is being instigated by others, and declared war on the live TV footage on the spot. As for the declaration of war The subject, although he didn''t say it clearly, people all over the United States knew who he was talking about.


    launched its first single "he", which counterattacked in an alternative way, sparking a new trend among teenagers. "He" is still on the top of the bulletin board, with sales exceeding 400,000 copies in one month.


    ''S third screenplay, "Night Sleep in Seattle", was off the shelf, and it earned more than 130 million US dollars in the box office in North America alone, making all the film works related to him have a box office of over 100 million.


    Shaking his head, Mick Taylor took his mind back. What has happened over the past year cannot be more obvious. A superstar is rising, even if he is less than twelve years old and has not experienced the so-called Hollywood. Child star spell, but are those really problems for him?


    Even if he will no longer appear on the big screen in the future, his writing and script alone will be enough to keep his name on the Avenue of Stars.


    I have indeed been in contact with him all the time, and I often get first-hand information from him or his partners. These have helped him a lot. You know, with these alone, he has now doubled as the deputy of the entertainment page. Editor-in-chief.


    Coming to the door of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, Mick and John quickly found their place. There were too many reporters gathered tonight, perhaps not as good as the Oscars, but compared with the Golden Globes, they are not inferior.


    "Mick, I''m late today!"


    The reporter who spoke to him was a reporter from The New York Times in Los Angeles.


    "Just give me a little bit and let me set up the camera." Mick set up his weapon first, and then said, "Don''t mention it, I ate my stomach, I came out late. Did I miss something?"


    "Of course, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas just entered the theater!"


    "Oh, my God, two of the big four directors came at once! Damn it!" Mick cursed and asked, "Where are Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman?"


    "It hasn''t arrived yet, it''s probably coming soon!"


    While talking, a Rolls-Royce Silver Charm, which was obviously a customized version, stopped at the end of the red carpet. A person who looked like a bodyguard came up from behind and opened the door with a leg stretched out from it. Came out.


    The long and straight legs are as smooth as jade. The owner of the legs is tall and slender with a unique sexy. The golden reddish big wavy hair and black strapless evening dress set off her fairer, milk-like skin in the light. Under the shining light, she was brilliant, making her look charming.


    It¡¯s no exaggeration to say that she doesn¡¯t need acting skills at all, just by virtue of her beautiful appearance and glamorous temperament, she is enough to grab the limelight in Hollywood.


    Nicole Kidman didn''t move forward, turned around and stretched out a hand to the car. Then, the super genius, the guy who jumped off the building to shame countless writers and screenwriters, wore a perfectly fitting teal dress. , Got out of the car.


    "Damn it, Nicole, why do you have to wear high heels, you are so much taller than me!"


    Walking on the red carpet, Ryan glanced at the glamorous girl who was holding his arm, angrily. He was less than twelve years old. Although he grew to more than five feet and three inches, he was not enough in front of Nicole. Look, not to mention, she is also stepping on a pair of high-heeled sandals three inches high.


    "Shut up, Ryan!" Nicole waved his hand to greet the fans who were screaming on both sides, and reminded, "It''s a public place now, don''t lose your etiquette and demeanor."


    When the fans on both sides saw the idol beckoning, they burst into screams again. Ryan and Nicole walked over, took the pen and the poster, and quickly signed on it.


    "Ryan, you are so tall! Wow, so handsome~"


    Ryan raised his head and glanced, a typical **** girl smiled pretentiously, and hurriedly flashed.


    "Mina, did you see it? Ryan smiled at me! He smiled at me!" The girl was about fifteen years old. After seeing Ryan''s sunny smile, she hugged her friend and danced again. call.


    "Ryan, Ryan, look here, take a photo with me." Another girl screamed.


    Bright sky-blue eyes, like a radar, quickly swept through the crowd. Ryan found that most of his fans were underage girls, and the rest were mostly underage boys.


    Football should start from youth training, education should start from dolls, and fans should be raised from childhood.


    This is a good thing, isn''t it? Explain that he is influencing the next generation of Lao Mei, and they will grow with him. In the near future, he will definitely have a terrifying influence.


    He took Nicole''s hand and quickly walked to the interview area. The reporters rushed up like crazy. At this time, if it weren''t blocked by the security guards, it might turn into a wave of humanoids, bringing the two boats Ryan and Nicole together. Completely submerged.


    "Nicole, you go first, I will deal with them." Ryan took out a manly manner, looked at the reporters, and said, "I will not answer any questions that are not related to "Terminator 2"!"


    "Then can you predict the box office for the first week of next week?" Mick Taylor was the first to react.


    "50 million dollars!"


    Ryan stretched out a slap and shook in front of him. The reporters were dizzy for a while, fifty million! This prediction is too crazy!


    Shrugging, Ryan turned his head and left. In his opinion, his prediction is already very conservative. It is July 3rd, and there are four days plus one night until the end of this week. From tomorrow on, it will be Independence Day again. During the holidays, and my own appeal is countless times stronger than that of the previous life, if so, the box office of "Terminator 2" in the first week is not as good as that of the previous life. It is time for everyone on the crew to visit the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco together.


    After greeted Schwarzenegger, Cameron and others, and took a group photo together, UU Reading Ryan was mixed in the crew and walked into the theater.


    Soon, he found Nicole, and as expected, he was talking with Judy Foster and a few others.


    "Judy, I''m very sorry about the "Bodyguard". Although I said it on the phone, I think it''s more sincere to say it in person." Ryan''s apology is quite sincere.


    Others may only know more than ten years later, but he knew very well that the assassination of Reagan by John Hinckley was the biggest pain in Judy Foster''s heart. Not only did she retire for several years, but also to men from then on. She lost her feeling and became a lesbian. Of course, she protected her privacy very well. Except for a few people, almost no one knows about it now.


    "It''s okay, Ryan." Judy Foster smiled generously and whispered, "If I really want to resent, I should be resenting another person, right?"


    The two looked at each other and smiled, and this chapter was completely revealed.


    However, when Ryan saw the three people on the opposite side, his eyes brightened. One was Ron Meyer, who joined Universal Pictures earlier than his previous life, the other was Industrial Light & Magic¡¯s head of George Lucas, and the other One is Steven Spielberg.


    "Mr. Lucas, Mr. Spielberg, it''s nice to meet you." After Ron Mayer''s introduction, Ryan leaned slightly. "You can call me Ryan."


    "Well, Ryan." George Lucas helped his glasses, "We are talking about you!"


    ...A chapter will be updated after 12 o''clock in the evening, and the new book list will be published with more than 20W words. Please collect, ask for recommendation, ask for support~~

 Chapter 66： Terminator

    Whether it¡¯s Ron Meyer, George Lucas, or Steven Spielberg, they are all standing at the top of Hollywood. Nicole Kidman is just a new actress, even if you add Judy Foster may not make them smile.


    This circle is glamorous, and at the same time this circle is realistic. As long as they can create value for them, they don''t mind whether the object of their dealings is God or Satan.


    Of course, Steven Spielberg''s face is somewhat unnatural, it seems to be dragged forcibly.


    Sitting in the theater, Ryan was still thinking about the conversation with the three giants. It was obvious that they approached Nicole Kidman for him, not her.


    In fact, several major film companies, including Universal Pictures, have been eager for the film adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park", even if Ryan used special effects technology to make lifelike dinosaurs as an excuse to let Jinsli release According to the news, it is said that for the time being, it will not consider selling the right of adaptation, nor will it reduce the enthusiasm of these film companies.


    It¡¯s not surprising that George Lucas would stand there. He is the head of Industrial Light and Magic, and he holds the top special effects production company in Hollywood. The special effects of "Terminator 2" are outsourced to them, I am afraid no one. More confident than him, able to make a real dinosaur on the big screen.


    Just look at Spielberg¡¯s expression and think about the series of events surrounding "Jurassic Park" in his previous life. Ryan scratched his head. Undoubtedly, he can bring the thrills and excitement of filmmaking and full of childishness. Spielberg is none other than Spielberg.


    But from Ryan''s observation, the Jewish director''s mind is obviously not on this.


    I don¡¯t know the previous conversation between Spielberg and Universal Pictures. Has it happened now?


    Ryan can¡¯t remember whether his previous life was in 1991 or 1992. Universal Pictures invited Spielberg to direct Jurassic Park, but he repeatedly refused. Driven by his interests, Universal Pictures used a killer trick. He promised to invest in "Schindler''s List" as long as he directs this film.


    Spielberg has been running for "Schindler''s List" for nearly ten years. There have been countless changes in the middle. Many people claim that instead of making such a movie, it is better to donate money to the Holocaust Memorial, and in the 1990s Later, Spielberg finally made up his mind to direct himself, but he couldn''t attract investment.


    It is conceivable that Universal Pictures directly took his fate, so Spielberg had the funds to prepare for the start after he directed "Jurassic Park".


    However, this move by Universal Pictures has caused a big rift in the relationship between the two parties. It has also made Spielberg''s idea of ??establishing a film company stronger. To some extent, it has indirectly prompted DreamWorks¡¯ development. Born.


    Of course, the complexity of what happened was definitely not as simple as Ryan had understood in the previous life. Perhaps only God knows what happened between them.


    If you sell the adaptation rights to other film companies, will all this change? Will "Schindler''s List" be infinitely delayed? That''s not fun.


    Although "Schindler''s List" has a lot to beautify Oscar Schindler, it is undeniable that this is one of the greatest movies in history, even if it is about Jews.


    Forget it, let the wicked guys continue to let Universal Pictures take the lead. They can''t commit a dispute with Spielberg, and, in a broad sense, they belong to the same front.


    However, I have to cut a big piece of cake. After all, I have the initiative now. The copyright of "Jurassic Park" is completely in my hands.


    "Ryan, you''re lost again."


    Nicole squeezed his ear playfully, and Ryan came back to his senses, only to find that the lights in the auditorium were off and the movie was about to begin.


    The broken and dusty cars, the abandoned and collapsed buildings, the skeletons and bones everywhere, all show the terrible world of this world. In this apocalyptic scene, the subtitles show its age-2029.


    The camera moves with Sarah Connor''s simple explanation of the world, and finally freezes on a pile of creepy skulls.


    Just as the audience was breathing in for this terrible future, a silver-white alloy foot suddenly fell, stomping the skull into fragments, and then the camera moved up, and a human bone-shaped robot revealed its full picture. Without waiting for the audience to marvel at this terrible mechanical killer, a desperate fight between man and machine was revealed before their eyes.


    A personal bone-shaped mechanical killer, huge mechanical chariots, even flying mechanical bodies in the sky, they have no emotion and reason, only know crazy killing, and when facing them, humans have only desperate death. Fighting can earn a way to survive.


    With the appearance of the leader of the Human Resistance Army, John Connor, Sarah Connor¡¯s voice-over narration slowly reached the end, which led to the next story¡ªSkynet once again sent mechanical killers back in time, wanting Killed the juvenile John Connor, and the Human Resistance Army also sent a protector back in time. Who would find John Connor first?


    "Very exciting, this is the beginning of the best science fiction film I have ever seen." Nicole leaned into Ryan''s ear and whispered.


    In this year, the battle between humans and machines in the opening of "Terminator 2" has a shocking effect. It represents the most advanced film technology in Hollywood today. Of course, it was burned with millions of dollars.


    The first character to appear on the stage...No, it should be the robot T800. In the absolutely classic soundtrack, he came to the Motorcyclist Bar and swept all over the place. There is no beauty in the fights here. The T800 is like an M1A2 tank, and everything that will stop him will be blocked. Crushed.


    Black sunglasses, black leather jackets, black prince motorcycles, and the modified shotgun constitute the most classic movie image of Arnold Schwarzenegger, none of them!


    After the appearance of the villain robot T1000, the future savior made a grand debut. John Connor, played by Ryan, doesn¡¯t have the depression in "Sixth Sense" and the cuteness in "Home Alone". Let people know at a glance, this Is a boy in the rebellious period.


    I don¡¯t know if anyone has discovered that the ugly adoptive father was a guest starring James Cameron. Ryan tilted his head and did not see the tyrant director.


    There is no doubt that the most ruined image in the movie is Linda Hamilton. She looks sturdier and wilder than reality in the movie. Just like someone commented in the past, James Cameron admired the most. Women are all tall and mighty imperial sisters.


    The highlight of the fight in this play is the fight between T800 and T1000, especially T1000. When he was in the corridor of the commercial building, he was bombarded with silver-white wounds by T800, the identity of the liquid robot first appeared. Rong.


    Cameron also adopted Ryan¡¯s suggestion, abandoning the sound of the shotgun, and replaced it with the roar of the cannon when it was fired, and this effect was also exceptionally good.


    The hand-to-hand combat of T800 and T1000, without any fancy, speed, and movement is not beautiful, but it shows the unparalleled solid body and powerful strength of the mechanical killer. The unusually strong building walls are like tofu under their impact. Slag is generally fragile.


    In the chase that follows, the crew once argued over whether or not John Connor should shoot with a gun. You must know that in the eyes of the Teachers and Parents Association and the MPAA, minors shooting with a gun in the movie is one of the most terrifying scenes. , It will have extremely bad social impact.


    If this kind of lens appears in a movie, it is more serious than full nudity, and MPAA is likely to rate the movie as NC-17, that is, it is prohibited to watch under the age of 17, then "Terminator 2" will definitely lose money. Drop.


    In the end, James Cameron just adopted the plot where John Connor was loaded with bullets.


    Ryan doesn¡¯t know much about the classification of American movies. After experiencing this time, he even studied it specifically. I can¡¯t help but think of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga". If it is placed in North America, it is definitely...


    The reason why this film is classic is that it is not entirely based on special effects to attract the audience. Although James Cameron is a commercial director, he rarely considers art in his films, but he is indeed a master of storytelling. The film combines science fiction and philosophical thinking so perfectly.


    These are best reflected in John Connor and T800. When Sarah Connor wanted to destroy the T800''s CPU, John did not hesitate to protect his CPU with his own hands, and even said to his mother, " he is my friend!"


    This is also one of Ryan''s best performances in the film. His rebellious appearance and innocent and kind heart are vividly performed by him, and it almost robs Linda Hamilton from the limelight.


    There was such a classic line in the previous life Being a demon is like being a human being. You must have a benevolent heart and a benevolent heart.


    is no longer a demon...


    And when a robot has a human heart, then what is he? What will it do? This is also one of the themes expressed in the film.


    "Terminator 2" not only has fierce gun battles, cold killings and crazy chases, but also a warm side. John Connor bans T800 from killing humans and teaches him to learn human emotions and learn how to smile.


    The most admired aspect of the T800 setting is that he knows how to learn and can understand human emotions, not just a cold machine that only executes commands.


    Frankly speaking, although this is a sci-fi action movie, there are not many special effects shots, but they are exceptionally brilliant. The appearance of almost every special effects shot will make the audience''s eyes bright and amazed.


    From the human and machine battle at the beginning of the movie, to the deformation and self-healing of the T1000, to Sarah Connor opening the T800 head and taking out the CPU and other lenses, everything was done very well, which is amazing, even after the past ten years. People may think that these special effects are outdated, but they cannot deny that they are the most advanced film technology in this era.


    Of course, all of this is closely related to the powerful Industrial Light and Magic. Stan Winston is now the top special effects master in Hollywood. It was also when he made this film that he became attached to Cameron. Later, he established the second only to Industrial Light. The magical digital realm.


    ...This week¡¯s classification is forcibly pushed, so if you have a ticket, please give it as much as possible, please collect it~ today three changes!

 Chapter 67： Terminator Two

    Someone once made a list of facial paralysis for Hollywood stars. Because Stallone did have facial paralysis when he was a child, he would undoubtedly rank first. Then who is the second? Bruce Willis or Arnold Schwarzenegger? After the "Terminator 2" is released, there will be no disputes.


    Throughout the film, Schwarzenegger has a tight face, but then again, he plays a robot in the film-who has seen a robot with a rich expression and full eyebrows? Besides, it is still a machine killer.


    In fact, during the filming, there was a scene that showed the tough guy''s acting skills. John asked T800 to learn to smile. After T800 used his own system to analyze someone''s smile, he forcefully squeezed out a smile.


    Unfortunately, after James Cameron saw this smile while editing, he did not hesitate to cut it out. In the words of him and the editor, this smile is too horrible and terrifying, and it will cause serious discomfort to the audience. If you don''t cut it, you will likely receive a lot of complaints after the movie is released.


    In the conversation between T800 and Sarah Connor, the culprit, Skynet¡¯s maker Miles Dyson, was brought out. Sarah Connor took out a large number of weapons pre-stored in the basement from her old friend. Returning single-handedly wanted to kill Michael Dyson, thus ending the birth of Skynet.


    This scene shows Linda Hamilton¡¯s sturdy female character to the fullest. Sometimes Ryan really doesn¡¯t understand why James Cameron, as a veteran playboy, would be right with her. As for the eyes, is Guilao''s aesthetics really different?


    It''s just that he didn''t think that he is not a kid!


    Sarah Connor shot Miles Dyson, but when faced with Dyson''s wife and young children, she could no longer start, and John and T800 also chased them.


    Having said that, I have to mention that Miles Dyson¡¯s candidate is no longer the one from the previous life, but Cameron still chose a black person. There is an unwritten convention in Hollywood productions. That is, the biggest villain cannot be a black person. Just like in the blockbuster movies that Ryan has watched in the past, when the black president appears, they are all positive characters, and when the white president appears, most of them are villains. This is also true. Can be regarded as a manifestation of political correctness in the film.


    Almost all movies in which the first villain is black, such as "Life and Death Sniper", suffered a fiasco at the box office and a terrible reputation.


    In order to prove that, T800 used a knife to peel off the skin-like tissue covering one of its arms. The constantly moving alloy bone arm became the best evidence.


    "Oh, God!"


    There was a burst of exclamation in the theater.


    Miles Dyson decided to cooperate with them in destroying his company¡¯s laboratory. After they entered the laboratory, they were eventually discovered by the guards and attracted a large number of police officers. After the explosives were placed, Dyson was rushed into the laboratory. The special police accidentally injured.


    Facing the heavy besieging of the police, T800 stood by the windowsill, killing all quarters, Arnold Schwarzenegger was shooting crazy shots with Gatling machine guns, which will surely be constantly mentioned in the future.


    After using the grenade launcher again, the first angle of view of the T800 reappeared. After scanning, the number of casualties was 0.0!


    Seeing this, Ryan thought of the later "Terminator 3", there were similar shots, but there was no decimal point. I have to say that the difference between a great director and a general director is all in these subtleties.


    In spite of the frenzied police attacks, T800 always remembered what John said, only wounded their legs, did not kill anyone, and finally snatched a special police box-type police car, led them to take the chip and The manipulator''s John and Sarah rushed out of the encirclement.


    As I said before, how could there be no black hero in the movie? When Miles Dyson stopped breathing, he pressed the detonator and exploded the entire laboratory into a sea of ??flames.


    The lingering T1000 finally appeared again. After he robbed the police helicopter, the climax of the whole movie arrived.


    This scene is Ryan¡¯s most difficult filming since filming. Several main actors were injured one after another. Even if he was the key protection object, there were more than a dozen more bruises. When Nicole came to visit the class and found out, he once ran away. Go to Cameron¡¯s trailer and have a good discussion with him.


    This thrilling and unusual scene, most of the audience in the theater watched held their breath for fear of missing any detail.


    After the constant collision of the tanker with liquid nitrogen and the small pickup truck, the two sides finally came to the final battlefield, a steelmaking workshop of a steel plant.


    The cargo tanker crashed into the workshop, and the leaked large amount of liquid nitrogen froze T1000. As T1000 continued to forcibly advance, his legs were frozen and broken, and his whole body turned into ice sculptures.


    "There will be a period later, baby!"


    The T800 that had been damaged in many places shot the T1000 into slag, and just when the audience thought that the T1000 was finally dead, the metal solution in the overturned steelmaking furnace slowly flowed over, and the T1000 was reborn again!


    T800 and T1000 launched a pure-power battle. T800 was a grade worse than T1000 after all. It was nailed to the iron platform with steel brazing by T1000, and the red mechanical eyes were finally extinguished.


    "How did he... die?"


    Not only Nicole Kidman, but many audience members in the theater sighed. In their eyes, this dedicated and flesh-and-blood robot already has a human heart.


    John Connor and Sarah Connor finally fell into desperation. The T1000 that was transformed into Sarah was forced to the hot steelmaking hearth. At the most dangerous moment, the T800''s mechanical eyes flashed a little red. , The camera switched to his first point of view again... the backup energy was activated!


    "Squeak~Squeak~"


    T800 pulled out the steel drill that had penetrated his body at once.


    "Wow~"


    Every time he twitches, there will be a round of applause in the theater that is not too warm, but clearly audible.


    Sarah emptied all the bullets in the shotgun. The T1000 was still intact. She shook her finger in disdain. John and Sarah fell into despair at the same time and were trying to escape. T800 finally followed the mechanical conveyor belt. He rushed over and blasted the entire upper body of the T1000 into a pulp with a grenade launcher.


    T1000 could no longer maintain his balance, shook his body, and fell into the steelmaking furnace behind, struggling desperately in the hot molten steel, and after a miserable cry, it embarked on the end of the doomsday.


    "Is it dead?" John Connor asked.


    "It''s terminated!" T800 replied.


    After John asked again, the robotic arms and chips obtained from the laboratory were also thrown into the steelmaking furnace.


    "It''s over!" Sarah Connor breathed a sigh of relief.


    "No... there is another chip!" T800 pointed to his head, "It must be destroyed!"


    Then, he handed the control switch of the transmitter to Sarah, "My program does not allow self-termination, you send me into the molten steel!"


    "No! No!" John stopped in front of T800.


    "I''m sorry, John, I''m so sorry!" T800 firmly moved his non-human body.


    "No! It''s okay! I want you to stay with you!" Tears shed tears in John Connor''s eyes.


    "I must go, everything must end here!" T800 pulled the chain and stood on the conveyor.


    "I order...I order you not to go! I order you not to go!" John cried loudly, pushing T800''s heavy body frantically.


    "I now understand why you guys are crying!"


    After wiping John Connor¡¯s tears with his hands, T800 said, "But I can never do it!"


    "Goodbye!"


    After shook Sarah''s hand for the first and last time, accompanied by the classic soundtrack, his hand released the iron chain, slowly raised his thumb, and sank himself into the molten steel.


    The touch at that moment made people unable to calm down for a long time. The end of T800''s self touched countless people, and some people with rich emotions even had tears in their eyes.


    There is no doubt that this last scene has sublimated the theme of the whole movie and made this movie a classic. Even if people who have watched this movie in the past ten or twenty years, they will still not forget that T800 is for humans. The end of self, and the last thumb that was raised.


    Even though Ryan''s acting skills in the last scene, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton, the last shot shattered the advantage he had established in the whole movie.


    Indeed, Ryan is confident that, in the eyes of audiences and critics, his acting skills in this movie are the best, but the most classic image of this movie will only be T800, this justice A brave robot hero, with steel and iron bones and a determined expression, is enough to become the most classic robot image in movie history.


    When the subtitles fell, there was a warm applause for the first time. The overwhelming sound lasted for several minutes. No one would doubt the excitement of this movie. As long as the collapsed red empire does not pull the world¡¯s mushrooms to play Movies are bound to sell well.


    People who participated in the premiere came forward to express their congratulations to the crew, especially James Cameron, who became the center of the crowd.


    Of course, as one of the four main actors in the film, Ryan is naturally surrounded by praise.


    The people who came here are mostly veterans in the circle. They are far older than him. They always like to pat him on the shoulder, which makes Ryan feel a little embarrassed and a little dissatisfied at the same time.


    Fortunately, his height is violent, and it will not take long to become a real little adult. However, for the child star, the most embarrassing period will also come ahead of schedule.


    In Hollywood, between the ages of fourteen and fifteen to seventeen or eighteen, it is the most difficult period for child stars. To play roles in children is too big and adults are too young, so it is difficult to get enough roles, so you can only polish yourself with some small supporting roles. , Until the transition succeeds or fails in adulthood.


    Ryan developed a bit early, and she was much taller than her peers, and even many 13-year-old boys were not as tall as him. He wanted to play a role in "Sixth Sense" or "Home Alone", more than five feet three inches. His height will definitely bring a disaster to the movie.


    In a short period of time, he is not going to take any more roles. Anyway, he is not only relying on movies to increase his popularity and expand his influence Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest. The serialized works are all at . \\u003c/a\\u003e

 Chapter 68： Promotion and comment

    "Terminator 2" is like dropping a high-explosive bomb in a hot summer file, which has caused a series of responses. Starting from the second day, there are rare long lines at the gates of major theaters in the United States. For the team, the tickets for most movie theaters are almost sold out. Many people have to buy tickets for less than two days and have to book tickets for a longer time in advance.


    The last time this happened was when the "Sixth Sense" was released in 1990, and the momentum of "Terminator 2" has only increased from the original, in supermarkets, restaurants, roads, parks, everywhere. Everyone is talking about this movie, about the future savior, about the duel between T800 and T1000.


    As the film is shown on the whole line in North America, various reviews have also appeared one after another. With such a hot film and such a crazy momentum, how can those film critics miss the opportunity to get a piece of the pie?


    "In the field of big screen action movies, no one can compare with James Cameron. He not only shocked our senses with wonderful action shots, but also has With a vision of coexistence of grandeur and beauty, and through his excellent director talent, he has turned those unbelievable ideas into reality and displayed them in front of the audience. These are vividly performed in "Terminator 2", with 18-wheeled truck-like muscles. The developed T800 has real and moving emotions. Although it is just a cold and hard machine on the outside, it has a human heart!"


    -"Washington Post" Hal Sinson


    The famous film critic Roger Albert gave the film three and a half stars ¡ª the highest four stars ¡ª in the "Chicago Tribune" column. He praised Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ryan highly. Jenkins said that Schwarzenegger finally found the most suitable role and performance method for him. Ryan Jenkins played a rebellious but childish and kind little boy vividly.


    Although the movie is very popular, and it clearly shows that it is a commercial production, too much discussion of connotation and other issues is meaningless, but those who oppose it for the sake of opposition, or to show their maverick, thus attract People with eyeballs are everywhere.


    For example, a columnist from Time Magazine described the film as only a mountain of fantasies, leaving audiences only disappointed. There is nothing in the film that can be thought-provoking, whether it is James Cameron or Ryan. Jenkins has brought a terrible work!


    There are even more film critics who want to make self-hype due to the enthusiasm of "Terminator 2", criticizing that there is no need for existence except for the thunderous action scenes and dazzling special effects.


    However, this film has aroused widespread discussion in the industry. George Lucas, one of the four major directors, wrote directly in the Los Angeles Times: "When T1000 stepped out of the raging flames, not only was it reborn from the ashes" It''s just a machine killer, not just a movie character. It''s a revolution. Regarding the revolution of movie technology, although there are not many special effects shots, the things shown by Terminator 2 are worth exploring and thinking about. From now on, those pictures that can only exist in our imagination can be shown on the big screen through special effects in the later stage!"


    As Ryan¡¯s third film image, John Connor had to be compared with Cole and Kevin. Just like Roger Albert¡¯s evaluation of him, praise accounted for almost percent. Ninety, many film critics believe that despite the cute and funny Kevin, only with Cole and John Connor, Ryan is enough to occupy a place in Hollywood film history.


    Even, many media have pinned the title of Hollywood''s first ever child star on Ryan.


    "What? The first child star in history? Thank them for their praise, but I don''t think I deserve this honor. Whether it is Shirley Temple or Judy Foster, they do better than me, don''t they? In an interview, Ryan resolutely denied that he is not a fool. Others say it doesn''t matter. If he admits it carelessly, then the title of arrogance, arrogance, and disrespect for seniors will be held on his head.


    Of course, Ryan¡¯s excellent acting skills can¡¯t be denied.


    "Ryan Jenkins once again demonstrated his acting skills in "Sixth Sense" after experiencing the nonsense performance of "Home Alone". His performance in "Terminator 2" made Linda Hamilton and Arnold ¡¤Schwarzenegger pales in comparison. If it were not for T800¡¯s self-end, this film would be his one-man show in terms of acting. In our opinion, commercial production cannot allow Ryan to fully play, and his next step should be to turn to literature and art. Films, that¡¯s where he will show off his acting skills in the future!"


    This is a review on the "Hollywood Report", thinking that Ryan should have more artistic pursuits after experiencing the baptism of commercial films.


    "Art film? Haha..." When Jinsili asked, Ryan only left a faint laugh.


    This summer, Ryan is destined to spend his time flying around. The $5 million remuneration and 1% of the North American box office share are not just shooting, but he also has to cooperate with the entire crew.


    The crew was divided into two groups. In the next month, he began to run around in major cities in North America. Unfortunately, he became a big light bulb because he was joined by James Cameron and Linda Hamilton.


    Because of tossing back and forth, taking a passenger plane would be extremely inconvenient. The film company simply leased two commercial planes. Just watching the uninhabited men and women sitting opposite them, Ryan couldn''t help but let go of the seat belts.


    "Damn it! Linda, and Jim, this is on the plane, just such a little space, you always have to worry about how others feel? Well, they are all adults, don¡¯t care, but don¡¯t forget, you are sitting across from each other. It''s a minor!" Ryan said dissatisfied.


    "Are you a minor? Ryan, I never treated you as a child, so your protest was invalid." Linda still maintained the affectionate posture with Cameron.


    Ryan rolled his eyes helplessly, before he continued to protest, Cameron spoke again, "Hey, Ryan, tell us, do you have a girlfriend? Don''t worry, I won''t tell anyone."


    "I''m only eleven now!" Ryan''s eyes widened.


    "I am already a big boy when I was eleven, and I had my first girlfriend when I was ten," Cameron said.


    "Wow, this is big news." Ryan smiled brilliantly, "I believe the tabloid will pay a good price!"


    There is nothing surprising about this kind of on-the-spot propaganda. It is nothing more than accepting interviews with reporters, going on a few shows, or breaking the news at a press conference to attract the attention of the public.


    Among the teenagers, Ryan has accumulated a huge popularity. No matter where he goes, there are a large number of crazy underage fans around. To a certain extent, it has further promoted the box office of "Terminator 2". After all, he is now The influence he possessed was beyond the reach of Edward Flang in his previous life.


    "Ryan~Ryan~"


    Hundreds of teenagers blocked the entrance of a hotel in Boston, screaming loudly, and blocking the car that had just arrived from the airport outside the hotel.


    Ryan had no choice but to put down the car window and waved to the outside frequently. As a result, he screamed crazily.


    "Ryan~Signature~Ryan~Signature!"


    I don''t know who started the head, the shouts of the fans became more and more uniform, and finally turned into a step.


    Normally speaking, this situation should be something the crew would love to hear, but Mario Casa and James Cameron looked a little dark when they saw what the fans were holding in their hands.


    Except for a few people who are holding "Terminator 2" posters, most people have chaotically raised Ryan''s novels, singles, previous movie posters, etc., it can be said that he will be the limelight alone. The entire crew was suppressed.


    With the assistance of the hotel security, the car finally drove to the door of the hotel. Ryan followed George and just got out of the car. Heat waves and screams came on the surface, making people numb.


    He has always known that he is very popular among teenagers in the United States, but he never thought that his fans would be so crazy and enthusiastic. Now this situation does not allow him to stay here. After initialing a few names, hurry up Walking into the lobby of the hotel, if you are surrounded by people, God knows when you can get out Damn it! Ryan cursed in his heart, and in less than half a minute, his clothes were messed up with the bird''s nest, and the buttons on the front were still missing. Could it be that he encountered a female satyr?


    "Ryan, if your fans don''t go to the theater to watch "Terminator 2", we will definitely throw you in Boston!" After entering the elevator, Mario Casa made a joke.


    To be honest, he was very painful when he opened the contract to the other party, but with the release of "Home Alone" and a series of events such as the Oscar awards ceremony, he gradually discovered that this man is becoming more and more influential, and he can''t help but sigh with James. Cameron''s decision to insist on signing him was extremely correct.


    You know, the main consumer group in the movie market is always young people. With Ryan¡¯s growing appeal among this group of people, it is bound to be able to attract a considerable part of the audience. It would be even better if he creates some topics at this time. Should I encourage him to provoke Tom Cruise?


    Of course, he can only think about it. With the intelligence and maturity of the other party, I am afraid that he can easily see through his tricks. It is better to think less about this kind of gains.


    In addition to participating in a film event in a large theater chain, the crew also accepted a joint interview with the local media, which is considered to be a boost for "Terminator 2" in the Greater Boston area.


    Originally, Ryan wanted to visit the famous Cambridge City, but when he saw the crazy fans overwhelming at the event, he simply died of his heart.


    ...The last chapter is a tragedy, and I can''t find any illegal vocabulary after changing it many times, depressed! The third one will be sent~ Seeking recommendation ticket~ Seeking collection~

 Chapter 69： Waldorf Astoria

    After the weekend, when Ryan and his team set foot on the land in New York, the first week of the box office of "Terminator 2" was released.


    Perhaps it was his influence. This film was not handed over to Columbia Pictures for distribution as in the previous life, but signed a distribution contract with Twentieth Century Fox.


    Twentieth Century Fox won nearly 2500 theaters for this movie. After the first four days, "Terminator 2" won the North American box office of 58.87 million U.S. dollars, which surprised everyone. This figure has exceeded the number of 1989. The sensational "Batman".


    Ryan scratched his head when he saw it. He couldn''t remember the first week of the box office of the movie in his previous life, but he vaguely remembered that it should be lower than "Batman". From this point of view, his popularity and appeal seemed to have risen a lot. The role of this movie has been profitable.


    In fact, "Terminator 2" recovered most of the cost before it was launched. Mario Casa may not have enough ability to run a large film company, but it is more than enough to run such a medium-sized film company.


    After three months of negotiations, he sold the rights to film and video tapes for $10 million, and the rights to television broadcasts for $7 million. As there was no overseas film distribution rights, he sold the rights to overseas distribution for $65 million. The price was sold to 20th Century Fox, and there were several inconspicuous inserts, and another nearly two million dollars were harvested.


    In order to prevent monopoly, the law stipulates that film production and distribution cannot be the same company, and the overseas distribution rights are in the hands of the seven major film companies. Whether it is James Cameron or Anne Hurd, they can only agree to this approach. .


    At that time, Ryan wanted to buy the overseas copyright of the film, but unfortunately he not only did not have that much money, but also did not have the overseas distribution rights.


    With the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the market in Eastern Europe has gradually opened up. Many movies¡¯ overseas box office has surpassed North American box office. It¡¯s like the previous "Terminator 2" in North America, which only had more than 200 million box office, but overseas box office was as high as 300 million. The share of theaters is much higher than that of North America, but it is also a large piece of fat.


    It¡¯s just that all of this is controlled by the giants. Don¡¯t think that setting up a film company and making more than a dozen movies can really stand by the big Hollywood giants. That¡¯s just a joke.


    Another important point is that they have seats in the MPAA, which is the Motion Picture Association of America. The organization that controls the film classification system can directly affect the classification of the film after the production is completed. For example, "Terminator 2" was R-rated in the previous life. That is, under 17 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to watch. If it is rated as NC-17, that is, under 17 years old is prohibited to watch, then the box office in North America will be reduced by at least half.


    is very simple, teenagers are always the main consumers of movies.


    There is no library of thousands of films, no cinema chains that can be manipulated, no independent overseas distribution rights, no MPAA seats, even Steven Spielberg and the dream factory close to the seven major film companies, in the end, they can only Under the joint suppression of the giants, the hatred ended.


    In the future, he may become a rich man and a superstar, or he may become the most powerful figure in Hollywood, but he will become a movie giant? The difficulty is very, very big!


    No one knows better than him. In the next few years, media giants such as Viacom, Conscate, and French water companies will soon reach out to the film industry. From then on, Hollywood will completely enter the era of giants. The new line, Miramax, etc. can only become the acquired subsidiaries.


    As for making movies, publishing books, and recording records alone, you can become a media giant...


    Ryan shook his head, and threw those YY thoughts from his previous life out of the clouds. He will try his best to control himself in the future. Don¡¯t think about these unrealistic thoughts, which will kill people. He doesn¡¯t want to go from the Golden Gate Bridge or the Empire in the future. Jump off the building.


    Movie sales are inevitable. The crew simply put their stay in New York at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, but Ryan smiled enthusiastically. After entering the hotel lobby, he encountered a character that surprised him.


    "Ryan Jenkins, don''t say you don''t know me anymore." The girl was wearing a pink knee-length dress, she looked a lot longer, and her height was a bit taller than a few months ago, especially her flat chest. It bulged slightly.


    "Miss Hilton, okay, Parrie!" Ryan rolled his eyes helplessly, and had to change her nickname, "It''s nice to see you again."


    "What about the manuscript for the new episode of Harry Potter? When you were in Beverly Hills, you promised me that you would write it out and give it to me to read." Paris Hilton was really not at all polite.


    "When did I... When did I... promised?" Ryan''s eyes were bigger than copper bells, and the other party made it clear that they wouldn''t be reasonable, and the heart said that if I can''t provoke me, I can''t hide it, flash first~


    Just as soon as she turned around, she was pulled by the backpack by the little girl behind. She had been staring at him, how could he slip away so easily. If there weren¡¯t so many messy things happening last time, she would have looked for it. Come to urge the change.


    "Ryan, are you treating your fans that way..."


    "Hi, Ryan, who is this little lady?" James Cameron passed by, not only did not help, but fell into the limelight, "Is it your girlfriend? Yes, very discerning!"


    Girl... Girlfriend? Ryan had the urge to hit the ground with her head. If she was her girlfriend, there would be so many green hats in the future that would have to push him down.


    "Who is this bearded man?" Paris raised her chin.


    "Dictator, tyrant, old gangster." Ryan unceremoniously launched a counterattack.


    It''s all right now, Cameron simply turned around and left. He didn''t bother to care about two little kids. Besides, that little guy can really kill his popularity when he is angry. He doesn''t want to find sin on his own.


    Ryan couldn¡¯t help it. There were already many people around him watching. Under the crowd, he couldn¡¯t want to talk with the other party. He had to turn around, changed the subject, and asked, "Why are you here? Here?"


    "I lived here?" The little girl gave him a look that you are an idiot, "The Waldorf Astoria is my house. I have lived here since I was a child."


    Ryan just remembered that this hotel seemed to be really owned by the Hilton Group. He blinked and remembered something. The two sisters, Paris Hilton and Nikki Hilton, were indeed fostered since childhood. In the presidential suite here.


    "Okay, Parrie." Ryan took her aside, so as not to stand in the lobby for others to watch the show. "Harry Potter hasn''t started writing the fourth episode, and I just arrived in New York. Can you let me go back to my room and rest?"


    "Um...that''s fine."


    winked at George who was pulling his salute, Ryan hurriedly walked to the elevator, but just breathed a sigh of relief, he found Paris following from behind.


    Coming to the floor where the crew lived, Ryan entered his own suite, facing the pink girl who followed him, he was rather helpless.


    Indeed, Paris Hilton¡¯s reputation in the previous life affected his senses. After living in North America for so long in this life, how could he not understand that in the open coastal states of the United States, many girls played more than her before they got married. Crazy, but not as prominent as her, and being betrayed by her ex-boyfriend, resulting in a videotape incident. In a sense, she is also considered a victim.


    Of course, after the videotape incident, she broke the jar, so she can only blame herself.


    "Your crew is really stingy." The little girl curled her lips, as if she was disdainful of this suite, "As you are, you should ask them for the presidential suite."


    The room is just an ordinary suite in the Waldorf Astoria. A small living room plus two bedrooms is not bad in Ryan''s eyes, but it is far worse than a luxury suite or a presidential suite.


    Ryan can only roll his eyes, what can he say, expecting the lady born with a golden spoon to understand the difficulty of budgeting and making money?


    "Would you like something to drink?" Ryan pointed to the water glass.


    Seeing the girl shaking her head, Ryan simply ignored her, dragged the suitcase to the desk and packed up her salute. Except for a few clothes and the guitar that she brought with him, the rest were almost all manuscripts and scores, while watching He placed a thick pile on the desk, and Paris''s mouth opened wider and wider.


    "Can I take a look?" the girl asked curiously.


    "Yes, but you are not allowed to tell others after reading it." Ryan said without looking up while finishing the draft.


    "I promise."


    In fact, there is nothing special in it, just the script and setting sketch of "The Lion King". As for the score, can you expect that girl can understand the score now?


    The script of "The Lion King" is not complicated. UU reading frankly says that it is just a simplified animal version of the Prince¡¯s Revenge. Ryan has completed more than half of it, but this script is in a way that "Bodyguard" is a bit similar, the songs in it are very good, especially "Endless" and "Love Tonight".


    Since most of the script has been plagiarized, the songs will naturally not be let go. He remembers several classic songs clearly. Even if there is a little forgotten place, he can easily complete it with the music of this world.


    However, some songs are still forgotten, which requires him to recreate according to the plot and animal settings.


    "It''s so beautiful, is this a little lion?" Paris took a picture from the draft and asked, "Can you give it to me?"


    Her tone is asking, but her expression is that this painting belongs to me.


    Ryan glanced at it. It was a colored pencil sketch, showing two little lions walking together. They were the young Simba and Nana.


    He drew more than one set of Simba and Nana, and nodded at the moment. In order to prevent the young lady from fancying his other things, Ryan hurriedly sorted the manuscript and scores and gave them to George. .


    "Thank you, Ryan." After saying a rare thank you, Paris rolled her eyes and said, "Well, to show your thanks, I have dinner."


    ¡­I¡¯m busy with work today, and it¡¯s automatically released. In the past few days, I changed the text to vomit blood on the street. The suggestion for Nicole to hook up with lesbians is too cool. Our Jicao has always been full value, although it is broken. I got up... Friends who passed by, let''s order a collection, can you give a ticket or something bette

 Chapter 70： Pink

    Ryan knows that you can¡¯t look at American girls from the perspective of previous lives. Besides, it¡¯s just a dinner. It¡¯s not a matter of going up and down the fire, or taking video tapes.


    It''s just that he didn''t expect that the place to eat is not in the restaurant of the hotel, but the presidential suite on the top floor belonging to Paris.


    "Ryan, welcome you to visit my room." The little girl raised her head and led the way.


    Ryan¡¯s forehead jumped with blue veins, as for the reason? It''s very simple, just look at the decoration of the room.


    is not to say how luxurious it is. Compared with the nouveau riche in previous Arabs, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel has a deep heritage, luxurious and introverted style, just like a Western aristocracy with hundreds of years of tradition.


    Well, pink has nothing to do with these!


    Ryan is stepping on a pink carpet, with pink crystal chandeliers and ceilings above his head, and pink tapestries hanging on the surrounding walls. Even all the cabinets and utensils are pink, here is pink. Fairy tale world.


    Then, something that made Ryan even more collapsed happened. Paris led him into her bedroom. The inside was still pink. She took three books from the bedside table. Her own book was already The first three Harry Potter books published.


    It¡¯s just that... it¡¯s just that these three books are all pink, no matter the cover or the pages. He doesn¡¯t remember the pink Harry Potter published by the publisher. Is it a pirated copy?


    The heir to the dignified Hilton Group actually watched piracy. Uncle can bear it, Ryan can¡¯t bear it!


    "Pali, is this a pirated copy?" he asked tentatively.


    "Piracy?" The little girl blinked, and then said, "I asked my father to order it from the publishing house. I specially made them pink."


    Damn it, is this little girl so obsessed with pink? Ryan quietly wiped the cold sweat from his head.


    "Is my room beautiful? Does it resemble your dream world?" the girl asked proudly.


    "It''s beautiful, but don''t you think the color is a bit monotonous?" Ryan rolled his eyes.


    "How cute is pink!" Paris was probably aware of Ryan''s white eyes, and said, "If one day I am elected president of the United States, the first decree is to paint the White House pink!"


    What a great ideal! President Zipper and President Cowboy are weaker than you! Ryan gave a secret thumbs up. If she can be elected President of the United States, it will definitely be the gospel to the people of the world.


    Then, Ryan followed her to visit the cloakroom, library, recreation room, etc., without exception, the main colors were all pink, especially the pink clothes in the cloakroom, his eyes almost turned into white rabbits.


    "Look, Ryan, I have read all your works." In the library, Paris said, pointing to a few books on the desk.


    After getting along for half an afternoon, Ryan gradually understood her temperament, knowing that this was just a squeamish and playful girl. At the moment, you''re welcome, sitting directly on the chair in front of the desk, opening those books and flipping through the books. After flipping, indeed, there are obvious traces of flipping on the pages of the book, and related pictures are drawn based on the text in the blank spaces, but the quality of the paintings is terrible, and it should be the girl''s hand.


    "Apart from Harry Potter, which one do you like best?" he asked.


    "Well... Toy Story is good, but you can''t buy many of the toys you wrote, and the brave games are also good. Sometimes I want to enter such a fantasy world." It seems that she is very familiar with "Ryan Tales".


    After a few more chats, the butler in the suite informed them that they could go to the restaurant.


    Sitting at the pink dining table, holding a pink plastic knife and fork, Ryan sighed a lot. The past and present lives have been combined for decades. This is still the most special dinner he has ever eaten, and he shouldn¡¯t be served food. Is it also pink?


    Fortunately, what came up was a French meal. It seemed that Paris was taking a serious treat. Even though a lot of drinks and food that were not suitable for underages were removed, the meal was still very formal.


    Fortunately, when he was in London, Ryan learned from his family etiquette teacher the dining etiquette of the most important dishes in the West, and he looked like a gentleman, but the little girl still maintained a serious dining attitude at the beginning. After just a few minutes, it was solidified and germinated.


    "Come on, Ryan, don''t you find it uncomfortable? We should be unrestrained!" Seeing Ryan''s gentle manner, the little girl became dissatisfied.


    "Okay." Ryan shrugged and relaxed a lot.


    "Can you tell me a story?" The little girl asked with her big innocent eyes, "Don''t want the one I have seen, nor the "Lion King" in the afternoon, I want to hear a brand new one."


    Taking people''s short hands and eating people''s mouths short, Ryan could only smile helplessly, and said, "Well, I will tell you a story about a panda who knows kung fu."


    "Kung Fu?" The little girl pondered and asked, "Like Bruce Lee?"


    "Um~ almost."


    After drinking the juice, Ryan spoke briefly. The little girl listened very seriously, often forgetting to eat, and seemed to be completely immersed in it.


    "After a fierce battle, Panda Abao finally realized the essence of Kung Fu, defeated the demon Snow Leopard Dragon, brought peace to Heping Valley, and became a real dragon hero!" It only took less than half of it. When I was young, a simplified version of "Kung Fu Panda" appeared in this world, but unfortunately there was only one audience.


    "Wow, Abao is great, I love pandas." As the two got acquainted with each other, Paris''s lively temper became more and more obvious. At this time, she cheered, "Ryan, we will go to the zoo tomorrow. How is the panda?"


    "No." Ryan refused directly, "Tomorrow I will follow the crew to participate in the promotion."


    At the same time, he muttered in his heart, forget the panda, if you look at the goldfish...


    ¡­¡­


    The propaganda continued. The crew accepted an interview with The New York Times, but Ryan was dumbfounded after the interview was published the next day.


    The column written by the interview reporter initially revolved around the entire crew, but after half of the report was written, the ghost knew what he was thinking, so he came to the crooked building once and directed most of the pen and ink to himself.


    "James Cameron described Ryan Jenkins this way. He is the best actor in the crew and the one who has been yelled at least by me."


    "The acting skills that Ryan showed on the set completely defeated Arnold and me. We had to use 200% of the state to play the show! This is the emotion of Linda Hamilton."


    "Unlike what we are familiar with, Ryan has been very silent during the interview. When I asked the reason, he pointed to his throat and squeezed his voice, saying that he was afraid that the current drake voice would ruin his image. He is changing his voice. period!"


    "Although Ryan rarely speaks, I can use his past experience to add it. "The Sixth Sense", "Home Alone", "Night Sleep in Seattle" and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" have something in common with the four movies Point? That is all related to Ryan, and they all have made super sales. Well, some people may say that "Terminator 2" has just been released, but I think everyone looked at the box office numbers close to 60 million US dollars in the first week. Do you doubt the box office performance of this movie?"


    "Whether a movie will sell well, no one can guarantee before it is released, but the movies related to Ryan have been successful successively. This boy has become a guarantee for the box office. If I were the owner of a film company, even It costs a thousand dollars and also signs a movie contract with him!"


    The news about Ryan is really eye-catching, especially after more than half a year of harassment. The sales volume of this issue of The New York Times has risen by a full five percent. No wonder the reporter deliberately covered it. floor.


    Since it can be profitable, other newspapers and periodicals will of course not let him go, especially some unscrupulous tabloids, and they simply put Ryan on the front page.


    This is the home base of the New York Post, and they naturally bear the brunt.


    "No one can deny the achievements of Ryan Jenkins in the past, but don''t forget that he is three inches taller than when he starred in "Terminator 2", and he is evolving towards maturity in all aspects. The Hollywood child star curse is very Soon it will fall on him, maybe in the next film, he will become a box office poison."


    "Someone might say that even if Ryan doesn''t act in a movie, he can still write novels or scripts. UU reading , but have you ever thought about it. An eleven-year-old boy has so many ideas. It''s really normal. Of course, we are not doubting the authenticity of his work. After all, Mr. Tom Cruise has proved it for us. What we want to say is that Ryan Jenkins¡¯s imagination is too strange, which is very peculiar to him. Ms. Nicole Kidman¡¯s growth may not be beneficial. Maybe Ms. Nicole Kidman should take Ryan to see a psychiatrist. Maybe Ryan will have delusion..."


    After reading this kind of article, it is a lie to say that he is not angry. If possible, Ryan really wants to burn the editorial office of the "New York Post" on fire.


    He sat on the sofa in the living room of the suite, pondered for a while, and called attorney Wilson. The request was not complicated. He just mailed a letter to the New York Post.


    After being baptized by the Internet in his previous life, he has seen reports with no lower limit. As early as the day he entered Hollywood, he knew that he would also be attacked.


    "Ryan!" Paris sat on the other side and read the newspaper again. Although some things are not clear, she also knows that this is attacking her new friend. "We should bring someone to the newspaper. Smashed!"


    "Smashed?"


    Ryan imagined a shot in his mind. Paris was wearing a pink trench coat with a team of pink female bodyguards, rushed into the editorial office of the New York Post, shook off the trench coat, and took out a branch from the inside. The Chicago typewriter, painted pink, fired fiercely at the bastards. After a burst of pink gunpowder, the editorial office turned into a piece of pink rubble.


    ...Today there are only two changes, send the pink tickets and collections~~~

 Chapter 71： 20th Century Fox

    The tabloids, especially the tabloids of News Corporation, are all about the virtues. Ryan couldn¡¯t be clearer. Some people in the New York Post might not know, but when it comes to The Sun, no one knows. Both newspapers belong to Murdoch''s banner, and their reporting styles are the same.


    After the lawyer''s letter was mailed, the tabloids have converged a lot. It is only in the early 1990s, and they are not as rampant as they were later.


    Ryan immediately threw the incident behind his head. He can''t get a bite by the dog, and then go to the dog to bite it back, right? Besides, don''t worry, if there is an opportunity in the future, he will naturally settle this account with News Corp. He is not the person who can support the boat in the prime minister''s belly.


    As for going to the lawsuit, let''s forget it, those tabloids are eager for him to take them to court, but they are doing free publicity for them to increase their influence.


    Originally, Ryan wanted to find time to visit Natalie, but unfortunately, the Long Island girl was not in New York. After the start of her summer vacation, she participated in a drama summer camp and went to Tennessee early.


    After going around in major cities in eastern North America, on July 29th, the crew came to the last stop of the trip, Miami, a seaside resort in Florida.


    With the passage of time, the box office of "Terminator 2" has become more and more horrible. After winning nearly $60 million in the box office on the first Thursday, for seven days in the second week, although the box office fell slightly, it still achieved 4,700. Multi-million dollar results.


    The box office in North America exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars in two weeks after the movie was released. Even if there is still a little gap with the results of "Batman", it is also very rare. Don''t forget that "Batman" is a superhero. Accumulated a large number of comic fans.


    Today, "Terminator 2" has been released in North America for four weeks and has achieved a box office of nearly 160 million U.S. dollars. It is a foregone conclusion that the North American box office has exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars. At the same time, the film is in Europe, the Far East, Japan, South Korea and other places It also went online one after another, and the box office was also very popular.


    said unceremoniously that this movie swept the summer vacation, and many movies have changed their release dates because of its existence.


    The two teams promoted by the crew on the east and west coasts have become the focus of the entertainment media. No matter where they go, they are surrounded by a large number of movie fans, as well as dozens of major newspaper and tabloid reporters, who murdered the film in a month. It is estimated that it can be pulled from New York to Los Angeles.


    James Cameron completely established his status as a master. Linda Hamilton has also become a first-line actress. As for the people who have benefited the most from the movie, it is naturally Ryan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.


    Needless to say, Ryan, as the movie continues to sell, more and more media continue to pin the name of Hollywood¡¯s first child star on his head, including the New York Times and The Washington Post. At least half of the fans who surround the crew during each promotion come for him.


    Of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger got the most rewarding. T800 made him a superstar in Hollywood. It is said that a producer has already offered him $20 million in remuneration and invited him to join.


    It is a pity that Schwarzenegger declined all of them, because he had a suitable script in his hand.


    A movie fan once said in an interview with reporters, ¡°I was not interested in the movie at first, but I walked into the theater only because I liked Ryan, but after the movie started, the tense plot and suffocating air made me I trembled with excitement. The lethal shot of T800 to T1000 made me extremely excited. I will always remember the ending of the movie. He made me cry. I like John Connor played by Ryan. I like this rebellious kindness. My future savior, I also like the T800 played by Schwarzenegger. They accompanied me through the whole movie."


    "Especially T800, I like his leather jacket, sunglasses and that shotgun; I like his human heart under the metal shell. The picture of the Terminator''s self-sinking furnace still rippling in my mind, the slowly descending rope, hot The furnace, watching the broken terminator slowly melting in the furnace, I don¡¯t know what wetted my eyes, when he was about to burn out, the thumbs up smashed my heart, even though Crying in front of others seems awkward, but I really can''t help it."


    Ok! His own brain-remnant fans began to change to Arnold''s brain-remnant fans! This is Ryan''s thoughts after seeing the report, but he doesn''t mind, even if he is the best acting in the movie, this movie is destined to only leave a classic image, that is T800.


    After the intensive publicity journey, Ryan''s body is gradually overwhelming. After all, he is in the stage of growing his body.


    After returning from the theater to the Hilton Hotel that I was staying at, I really wanted to jump on the bed and get a good night¡¯s sleep.


    Cameron didn¡¯t let Ryan relax a bit, and took him to the coffee shop. He found a quiet place to sit with him. His big beard looked at him and just smiled. Ryan was puzzled and waited. After more than ten minutes, I finally understood.


    After a middle-aged man entered the coffee shop, he came straight to their table. After shaking hands with him, James Cameron introduced, "Ryan, this is Grant Hill, the production manager of Twentieth Century Fox. ."


    Then, he introduced Ryan to the other party.


    Grant Hill? Ryan frowned. He only knows that there is a basketball player who seems to be called by this name. Well, he has no love for basketball. I don¡¯t remember clearly. However, he is sure that he has never seen each other before. After all, all the time, because In the relationship with News Corp, he rarely dealt with Twentieth Century Fox.


    After saying hello, everyone sat down again. Ryan was so clever. He looked at the two who were talking in a low voice, and he understood what was going on.


    Twentieth Century Fox is a film subsidiary of News Corporation, and also the happiest film company working with James Cameron. Ryan knew that if it were not for his appearance, the future "True Lies" "Titanic" " "Avatar" will be the product of their many cooperations.


    Because of the constant attacks by tabloids represented by the "New York Post", Ryan has no good impressions of News Corp. During the production of the crew, he complained more than once. Presumably Cameron should have seen something. Only privately contributed to this meeting.


    In fact, Ryan knows very well that most of the attacks from the newspapers are natural, and there is no one-cent relationship with the film company. Moreover, the hype belongs to the hype, and the business belongs to the business. These are two different things.


    This is North America, and it pays more attention to practical results. After a few simple polite sentences from both sides, it quickly entered the topic.


    "Ryan, Twentieth Century Fox has the intention to invest in "True Lies." I am here to ask your opinion this time." Grant Hill said.


    "I gave Jim the script. I won''t interfere with which film company he wants to work with. As for the price of the script, you can ask him to talk with Pat." Ryan originally wanted to account for this movie. Part of the investment, but think about the horror budget of the movie in the previous life, and then think about the little money you have on hand, forget it.


    "Do you have any suggestions?" Hill asked again.


    "This is Jim''s movie, I''d better say less."


    Seeing Cameron¡¯s eyes, Ryan had no choice but to say, ¡°Well, one thing, this movie is my inspiration from an old French movie. The copyright is in my hands. You probably spend more money. Some money."


    The two still stared at him blankly, Ryan sighed, and had to say again, "Talk to the Pentagon and get some real Sea Harrier fighters. It''s best for Arnold to learn to drive, and at least to guarantee takeoff and landing. "


    "Actually..." Cameron squeezed his beard, "I really want to change the daughter in the movie to a son, and then let you play."


    "Come on, Jim, then this role will be overthrown and re-started, besides, my current age is also not appropriate." Ryan didn''t want to work with him again as an actor as a last resort.


    What''s more, in the previous life, Alisha Dushku, who played her daughter¡¯s role, fell from a plane during the filming and had several broken ribs. He lay in the hospital for several months before God knew if he would act. , Will the same situation happen.


    Grant Hill didn''t expect things to be surprisingly smooth. Of course, they only need to reach an intention, and the agent will naturally talk about specific things.


    After a few more words, I quickly talked about the investment in this film. Grant Hill knew that Ryan and Nicole and others had established a shell film company, and asked politely Ryan, we can actually cooperate. "


    Ryan naturally understood what he was talking about, smiled and shook his head, and said, "Grant, I want to ask, how much budget do you have for this movie?"


    "Currently it is 100 million U.S. dollars." Hill didn''t frown when he said this.


    Indeed, the big sales of "Terminator 2" made people see the strength of James Cameron, and realized that if you want to get a high box office, big investment and big production will be inevitable.


    But Ryan knows that this one million dollars is definitely not enough for Cameron to splurge, and the investment amount will increase by at least 20%. Moreover, he has heard from Beard that this movie will not start until next year at the earliest. He doesn''t have that much money on this project.


    "Forget it, you should know that we cooperated with Warner on "Bodyguard" and with Miramax on "Yihai Xiongfeng", and currently there is not enough funds." Ryan directly refused.


    When leaving, Grant Hill solemnly shook Ryan''s hand, completely dealing with his peers, "Well, Ryan, I think we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future."


    "There will be." Ryan replied politely.


    Back to the living floor, before entering the room, Ryan and the oncoming Mario Casa said a few words, tomorrow he will not follow the crew activities, and will go to the seaside studio in Miami to visit.


    Nicole Kidman is following the crew there to film a part of the naval scene.


    ¡­¡­I want to collect, I want a recommendation ticket~Two updates today~

 Chapter 72： Pete

    The black Mercedes-Benz car galloped towards Palm Beach County. This was a rental vehicle provided by the hotel. Ryan was sitting in the back seat, squinting his eyes slightly, and seemed to be asleep.


    Speaking of it, since leaving Los Angeles, he and Nicole Kidman have not seen each other again. Even though they talk on the phone every day, Ryan still feels helpless, making him want to grow up but not want to grow up.


    As the two get older and the two get busy in their careers, they will spend less and less time together, until one day when he grows up, she will definitely leave him.


    Is there any way to keep Nicole by his side forever? When he got off the car, this thought passed from Ryan''s heart. He didn''t dare to think about it, and he didn''t want to think about it. Once some things develop in the opposite direction of what they hoped for, the two people will never be able to return to the present. .


    Palm Beach County is one of the components of the Greater Miami area. As the name suggests, it is famous for its beaches and palm trees. The crew of "Yihai Xiongfeng" set up a location here, and part of the film''s location shots will be shot here. As for the indoor shots, I will return to the studio in Los Angeles.


    "Sir, this is a private place, you can''t enter."


    When they were about to enter the shooting location, a staff member stopped Ryan and George.


    "I''m here to visit the class, and my sister is an actor in the crew." Ryan lifted the brim of the baseball cap.


    "Don''t be kidding..." The staff member was stunned. After a pause, he said, "You are... You are Ryan Jenkins? Are you visiting Miss Nicole Kidman''s class?"


    "Shh~" Ryan made a silent gesture to him and said, "Can I go in? Please keep quiet? I want to surprise Nicole."


    "Of course you can." The staff seemed to be doing magic. I didn''t know where they took out the pen and notebook and handed them over, "Can you sign?"


    Satisfying the small wishes of the staff, Ryan walked into the set, his face undoubtedly became the best sign, besides, many people in the crew were employees of Miramax who knew him , They naturally knew what he was here for.


    Therefore, Ryan came to the temporary studio smoothly all the way.


    As soon as he walked to the entrance of the studio, he saw not far away, a man and a woman wearing fit navy uniforms, standing together talking and laughing. The man was very handsome, somewhat similar to George, and his face was full of masculinity. , Unlike some people, they all look creamy.


    The woman is **** and tall, and the fit uniform makes her look attractive. It can easily attract the attention of all men. It is Nicole Kidman.


    "Shh~" Ryan raised his index finger to several staff members. It was not shooting time anyway, he wanted to give her a big surprise.


    Ryan deliberately circled half a circle, with the help of photographic equipment and set, he walked around behind Nicole, winked at the man, and moved to the Australian girl''s side without a sound. Shishi covered her eyes.


    "Guess~guess~ who am I!" His drake voice was originally ugly, but he deliberately changed the pitch, which was almost comparable to that of broken gongs.


    "Who are you?" Nicole poked her mouth in an angry manner, and dared to joke with her unscrupulously. The slender fingers have the strings and the keys of the piano. Who else would there be, "Ryan, you are not a child Don¡¯t play these mischievous tricks!"


    "Okay, okay." Ryan had to let go of his hand, muttering dissatisfied, "I have changed my voice, why can you recognize it."


    "I can smell your body." Nicole replied in time. If she doesn''t even recognize him, unless he changes his soul.


    "Smell?" Ryan sniffed on himself. It''s normal. He doesn''t have the obvious body odor like Western men. He couldn''t help but muttered, "Is Nicole''s true identity a puppy?"


    "Ryan~" Nicole widened her eyes and grinds her teeth. Ryan took a step back and changed the subject, "Hey, Nicole, I miss you so much."


    "I miss you too, dear." Nicole sighed, took a step forward, and gave him a light hug.


    Ryan originally wanted to stay in her arms for a while, but Nicole and him were touched, he could only frown. With age, especially his height, Nicole could no longer treat him like he did when he was a child. Up.


    "Ryan, hello." The handsome guy came over, shook hands with Ryan, and said, "Thank you for your recommendation, so that I can have a chance to play the leading actor."


    "You are welcome, Mr. Brad Pitt." Ryan waved his hand casually.


    "You can call me Brad."


    "Okay, Brad." Ryan nodded, not being polite with him. After all, the two people''s current status is different. He is just a third-line actor. "I''ve seen you in "The End of the Road" The performance in China is impressive. Daniel Caffey, a handsome, handsome and full of justice in the military lawyer, is perfect for you."


    "Yes." Pete nodded approvingly, "Although there were a lot of problems during shooting, I can feel that this character can really give full play to my characteristics."


    Ryan rolled his eyes without a trace. Speaking of which, although Brad Pitt is also known for his face, his acting skills were much better than the other one, especially the first few works.


    I force him into this kind of more idol-like films. I really don¡¯t know if it will be good or bad for his future, especially the two people who played against him, whether it¡¯s Nicole Kidman or Jack. Nicholson is more than one better than him in acting.


    This is definitely not a bad thing in Peter''s eyes. He is just a small character ups and downs now. After the news of the launch of this movie came out, he has gained more attention than in the past.


    Brad Pitt is very good at being a human being. After complimenting Ryan without a trace, he voluntarily left and gave the space to the siblings.


    "How is he?" Ryan looked at the handsome guy who was leaving.


    "Very good young man." Nicole appeared old-fashioned in the words, "Outstanding personality, sunny and funny, and has a good relationship with most people in the crew, without the arrogance and rebellion of this age."


    Ryan rolled his eyes, and it seemed that Pete was several years older than Nicole. This is really...


    Well, Hollywood has never judged seniority based on age. Strictly speaking, Nicole, a first-line actress, is indeed qualified to call him that, but...


    "Nicole, watch him more." Ryan took her hand silently. Nicole didn''t mind, but subconsciously shook his hand and asked inexplicably, "Why?"


    "I have a lot of ideas, and I need a handsome enough and idol person to play the leading role." What he was referring to was naturally those films by Tom Cruise.


    "Little ghost, full of ghosts and thoughts." Nicole said, pinching his ears with two slender fingers, and gently pulling it twice.


    "Nicole!" Ryan stared angrily.


    "Okay." Nicole released her finger, and a bright smile appeared on her cold face, "Ryan is a big boy, let alone, I''m going to start shooting."


    The director in charge is named Rob Leiner. Like James Cameron, he has a beard and sparse hair on his forehead. He is said to be a senior director. As for whether he was the one in his previous life, I¡¯m sorry, he has forgotten it a long time ago. Who is the director of the previous life?


    Within a few seconds of the shooting, the director called to stop. After repeating this a few times, Ryan could see it. Brad Pei especially saw that he had acted in several works, but his acting skills were still a little immature. In front of Deman, apart from his handsome face and upright figure, it was horrible.


    He doubts that after the release of this work, the actor will become the target of film critics. You must know that Nicole''s role was most criticized in the previous life, but the Australian girl perfectly combined her acting skills with her appearance. Now, even if some vases are suspected, they are much stronger than Demi Moore in the previous life.


    Soon, Ryan saw another important actor. Jack Nicholson came out of the dressing room. His face was full of flesh, and people couldn¡¯t help but think of the bad guys he played, the actor, screenwriter and Men with titles such as director have the same bald forehead and sparse hair.


    Ryan unconsciously remembered the directors he had met In addition to the young David Fincher, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, and Robb here Reiner and Jack Nicholson are both people with bright foreheads.


    The job of director must be the natural enemy of hair! Ryan shook his head and sighed, just for the sake of his own image, he couldn''t do the drudgery of director.


    As for the future wanting to gain more power on the set, it is too simple. You can be a part-time producer. Hollywood implements the producer system, not the director responsibility system.


    A simple hello to Jack Nicholson, Ryan stepped aside, even though they were four talented actors who were equally famous as Al Pacino, Robert Delaunay, and Dustin Hoffman. But not as easy-going as the other three people. His temperament is as hot as his appearance, especially for young people who are too fast to become famous.


    In addition to polite contact, Ryan didn''t want to have too much intersection with him. He could guess his thoughts only by seeing his glance at his eyes. I am afraid that he would also be classified as a ¡®milk stunner¡¯.


    Just like Ryan once said, no matter how good a character is, it is impossible to win everyone''s favor. As long as the other party does not add bad words to him, it is enough to maintain this kind of nodding acquaintance relationship.


    However, the old man¡¯s acting skills are really good, especially when he plays paranoia, neurosis, and villains. It¡¯s almost a three-pointer. In front of him, Nicole Kidman and Brad Pitt are not enough.

 Chapter 73： resident Evil

    After staying on the set for a day, Ryan left. The whole crew was busy. Nicole could only say a few words to him after shooting. He was really boring here, so he simply followed the crew of "Terminator 2". Returned to Los Angeles.


    More than half of the summer vacation has passed. Although the crew was watched by reporters after returning to Los Angeles, Ryan hid in the villa and rarely went out. He had to make full use of the remaining time.


    Due to the propaganda that followed the crew everywhere, "The Lion King" has not been completed until now. Fortunately, the rest is the finishing touch. After repairing the memories of "Endless Life" and "Love Tonight", he remembered it again. The other song "Reincarnation of Life", as for the rest of the songs, he also wrote based on the scenes of the script, but apart from the three above, it is only the lyrics and no soundtrack.


    After all, these songs are different from those three. They are part of the lines in the film. To be more in line with the plot of the film and the overall soundtrack, the matter of composing the music should be given to the future master of the film, to Hans Zimmer. Said, these are just a piece of cake.


    Not only that, he also wrote his own suggestions for the three complete songs, such as the opening song "Endlessly", he wrote like this, "When the sun rises from the horizon and the night turns into daylight, Africa Awakened, the beasts gathered, cheered for glory, and celebrated the birth of the little lion king Simba together. A wild cry kicked off the whole movie!"


    In addition, he also wrote suggestions that fit the plot at the end of "Love Tonight", "The air on the African savannah is full of love, and Simba and Nana have not yet discovered that their love seeds are already there. It sprouts unconsciously, Simba''s hesitation and retreat from the past confused Nana, making the two parties more uncertain about each other, and it was not until the end that they suddenly realized that it was love!"


    In order to make the original songs more suitable for the plot and animal habits, he even went to the zoo several times, which made many tabloids start to wonder, after a few years of precocious puberty, did Ryan Jenkins regain his child¡¯s temperament? Or is he not good to animals?


    It took nearly ten days for Ryan to complete the finishing touches of "The Lion King", but still couldn''t relax.


    For his future voice, he must continue his singing training under the guidance of professionals, but the voice is too horrible. At this time every day, the maids in the villa will find a place to hide in advance to avoid being poisoned.


    Also is Harry Potter''s fourth episode. He has already thought about it and will publish one every year in the future.


    This series has become more and more influential with the passage of time. The publishing house has invested a huge propaganda force in it, and can''t wait to hype it as the first children''s book in the past.


    This is a good opportunity to earn money. Besides, each book is less than 300,000 in length. For a plagiarist like him, it is not a problem at all.


    He won''t go out recently, so he simply asked George to buy a most advanced typewriter, which is much faster than handwriting.


    The cool breeze made people want to stretch themselves. Ryan sat under the tree in the small garden, crackling on the keyboard of the typewriter, hardly thinking, paragraphs of text appeared on the paper. If you let people outside watch it, you will be shocked from ear to ear.


    Pie Jinsli was sitting opposite, sipping black tea. She was used to this kind of scene, no wonder, but at this time her energy was concentrated on the manuscript in her hand.


    "On the glass windows of the church, the lights suddenly lit up, and the sound of the rumbling motorcycles also spread into the church. Amidst the clattering noise, the broken glass fell to the ground. One was wearing a red mesh vest, blue The female knight in shabby jeans rushed in with the black motorcycle!


    ''Step aside! After a beautiful flick of the motorcycle, Alice took off her helmet and threw it on the ground, bursting out an angry shout, and stepping up the throttle.


    Gil Valentino and Payton hurriedly rushed to the seats on both sides and gave up the passage in the church. While Alice started the motorcycle and sprang out, a beautiful volley fell to the ground. He raised two pistols, aimed them at the fuel tank of the motorcycle that hit the creeper, and pulled the trigger.


    "Boom~"


    The flames jumped, and after a huge explosion, the motorcycle with the ugly creeper exploded into fragments on the ground.


    At this moment, another creeper fell on the wall of the church. It had a long and sharp tongue with sharp teeth, and its red body was like a ghost from hell. It jumped onto the prayer platform of the church. , Let out a low roar at Alice.


    Alice threw away the pistol, took off two MP5 submachine guns from behind with both hands, and shot a flood of bullets at the walls on both sides of the church.


    Just when Jill wondered why she didn''t attack the monster, but wanted to shoot at the empty wall, the violent bullet rain broke the two iron chains, the big cross erected behind the prayer platform, freed from all the shackles. Suddenly fell, pressing the creeper on the prayer platform.


    Alice is like a human-shaped arsenal. She put away two submachine guns, and drew a Remington shotgun from behind. She walked up to the creeper and pulled the trigger.


    ¡®bang~¡¯


    Gun smoke rose, and after the gunfire, the creeper¡¯s ugly head exploded into rotten watermelon. Jill just came over, and the rancid blood splashed on her boots.


    ¡®Who is your X? Asked Gil Valentino dissatisfied. "


    The style of the story is completely different from Ryan''s previous works. It is thrilling and terrifying. It embodies the refreshing fight and the pursuit of sensory excitement. Without any childishness, it is completely adult work.


    Closing the manuscript, Jin Sili looked at the handwritten swash book title-"Resident Evil", and sighed. In her opinion, no...In Ryan''s words, this is a zombie coat Superhero novel.


    After Ryan finished the beating, stretched and drank another glass of juice, Jinsli spoke.


    "Ryan, why not just release it in North America? It must be sent to Japan for release?"


    "Nothing." Ryan shrugged and said casually, "Not only to publish, Pat, register all content related to "Resident Evil"."


    Jinsli frowned, and even though she didn''t know what Bao Ruien meant, she nodded in response.


    Who knows, Ryan pointed to the manuscript and said, "It''s not just these, you didn''t read the last few pages of the manual? Those are best to register."


    "What is it?" Jin Sili reopened the manuscript, and the last few pages were filled with characters. One of the paragraphs was a certain outline and setting, with a very strange name, called "Battle Royale".


    She thought for a while, it shouldn''t be difficult. A dog is a dog. Even if she barks a few occasionally, she can only look at her face in front of the owner.


    In fact, Ryan wrote "Resident Evil" a long time ago, but the content is completely adult, not in line with his identity at the time. It has been pressed until now, even if there is still some time before the game comes out, but he doesn''t want to wait any longer. Now, the ghost knows if there will be unexpected changes over there.


    Although in the previous life, the sequel of this series got worse and worse, and even showed signs of bad movies, but the box office has been good, especially the disc market is very popular, which can be described as a series of movies with low input and high output. Typical, with Ryan''s unscrupulous character, how could he let it go.


    If it works well, you can still cheat the Japanese, why not do it.


    Of course, Ryan would not mind if the Japanese came to buy the copyright. The green banknotes were the most scarce thing he had. Without sufficient funds, his thoughts were nothing more than spectacles.


    Speaking of it, he has never played the "Resident Evil" game, nor has he read a story novel, but the movie, especially the first three movies, has been seen more than once, and the success of the subsequent movies is inseparable from the prosperity of the zombie culture. It is related to the game As the plot goes farther and farther, considerable benefits are still obtained.


    The question is that games and movies seem to be important fulcrums for the rise of zombie culture? Regardless of him! The big deal is to throw it aside. Anyway, there is no loss to myself.


    Ryan draws on the plot of the movie. The first protagonist is of course Alice. He doesn''t want to be original, but the first three, especially the second one, are pretty good. In that case, why bother yourself. What about brain cells.


    So, he adapted the first two movies into two novels of about 200,000 characters.


    As for the passage that Jinsli read softly, it is the plot of the strangulation of creepers in the second Alice church. Ryan also sets up Gil Valentino, who plays an important role in the scene, as a mixed race~www.novelhall.com ~Will the "Resident Evil" game disappear because of this? It has nothing to do with him. He is just a movie lover, not a game lover, and the movie will be postponed indefinitely. The reason is very simple, one is special effects, and the other is zombies. Culture is still far from being as prosperous as the 21st century. Is it necessary to produce the "Zombie Survival Manual" in advance?


    If you can¡¯t pit the Japanese, you can cancel the movie. It doesn¡¯t matter if the person you want to praise is in this world...


    Now he has taken away many things that belonged to the Americans, and a lot of things that belonged to the British. The little devils don''t have any burden to pick them up.


    Don¡¯t they like to **** other people¡¯s things to register? Since they are reborn, how can they be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth if they don¡¯t **** them? You know, the last few pages are not just "Battle Royale".


    Of course, whether in Japanese literature or Japanese comics, Ryan has no interest in plagiarism. The reason why he remembers "Battle Royale" is not because he has read novels, but when he was in his previous life, many people were talking and laughing. Bird novel is a battle royale of plagiarism, and he has the impression.


    In that case, let "Battle Royale" disappear.


    What kind of literature the Japanese do, adult manga and the female X industry are the top priorities of your culture, I am helping you. When Ryan put away the typewriter, he couldn''t help but think about it.


    ...Thank you for your rewards, the first one is sent, please recommend ~ ask for collection ~ can''t write fights, watched the movie several times, and finally hit the street...

 Chapter 74： Animation studio

    In the fitness room of the villa, after finishing his routine exercise, Ryan is naked and standing opposite George. Recently, he has been learning some simple self-defense techniques from George.


    Ryan moved, like an underage cheetah, and rushed towards George. George turned around to let him pounce, grabbed the boy¡¯s arm, threw him with a standard big back On the thick sponge mat.


    "Come here again!" Ryan stood up with a carp, with a faint appearance of abdominal muscles in his lower abdomen, apparently transforming into a handsome man.


    "Okay, Ryan." George stopped his action and persuaded, "Your body is developing. Exercising too much is not good."


    "Okay, then." He had to put his fists away and walked towards the dressing room.


    The reason why he learns self-defense is not that he wants to kill the Quartet in the future. He just wants to have more confidence in running away when encountering danger and chasing by paparazzi fans. There is no harm in being flexible, right? What''s more, some of the films he will star in in the future also need such skill.


    Besides, what he learned from George was just some self-defense skills taught in the Marine Corps.


    After taking a good shower and putting on dry clothes, Ryan came to the door of the villa. George was already waiting here in his car. The place they are going to go today is Disney.


    Ryan had already asked Jinsli to hand over the script of "The Lion King" to Disney, which also included a stack of setting drawings and music scores, and at his instruction, Jinsli offered a sky-high price during the negotiation. contract.


    Animation production is the foundation of Disney. Even if Ryan wants to invest in it, they will not allow others to plug in where they are best.


    Ryan simply offered a sky-high price. He wanted a 10% share of "The Lion King". This is not a North American box office share, but a share of all revenue generated by "The Lion King", including box office, peripherals, authorization, and video tapes. As well as the original soundtrack and so on, it can be said that the lion has a big mouth.


    Think about it. In the previous life, the box office alone was close to 800 million U.S. dollars. The original soundtrack was a mess, second only to "Bodyguard", and there are various dolls, comics, animation dramas, cultural shirts, and so on.


    Later, the film also moved to the Broadway stage, causing a huge sensation.


    Lin Lin finally concluded that the income that "The Lion King" can generate is absolutely astronomical.


    Disney naturally would not agree, but they knew that Ryan was asking for a wild price, and then they should pay it back on the spot.


    The two sides talked for half a month. Eventually, under the intervention of Michael Eisner, both sides took a step back. Ryan only took 5 percent of the share, but after the voice change period, he sang "Tonight Love Is Unlimited" "Or another song, and according to the conditions, dub an important role in the film.


    The Audi 90 sedan arrived in Burbank soon. After greeting the front desk, Ryan went straight to the animation studio. He came here today to discuss with the handpainters how to improve the image of animal characters.


    Although he drew more than a dozen main characters, his painting skills were limited after all. Color pencil sketches could not fully reflect the appearance of these characters. He signed the agreement, but he was not just waiting to get the money. Yes, while gaining benefits, you must also fulfill your obligations.


    Just before entering the hall of the animation studio, he heard the crowd inside, which seemed very lively. He hurried in a few steps, looked up, and took three steps back in shock.


    George followed him all the time, thinking that something was wrong, he blocked Ryan behind him, and he subconsciously touched him in the suit.


    "It''s okay!" Ryan settled down. Disney''s hand painters are a bunch of lunatics. If it weren''t for the rise of 3D computer animation, 2D animation would not fade away.


    Unfortunately, Pixar¡¯s technology is changing with each passing day...


    Ryan shook his head and stopped thinking about it. After all, technological progress cannot be blocked by anyone.


    As for what is in the hall, it will scare him, this brave fellow, back again and again. It is very simple. There is a real adult male lion and a young lion inside, not the kind that is locked in an iron cage.


    Of course, the two lions are separated by a considerable distance, and the trainer seems to be guarding them.


    Even though they have iron chains tied to their necks, they look very tame, but the ghost knows when they will be beastly.


    The lion seemed to feel that someone had joined the observer''s ranks. He suddenly shook his head and shook his long mane. His majestic appearance was indeed the king of beasts, and he stood up to Ryan. Looked over at the location.


    "Wow~"


    The dull lion roar sounded, and Ryan couldn''t stop the toothache. Disney was too crazy.


    However, that little lion looks very good. It looks like a big cat. It looks so cute and cute. If it looks more cartoonish, it really looks like Simba when he was young.


    "Um...George, how about we keep a little lion in the villa?" Ryan was obviously thinking too much.


    "Ryan, are you sure Miss Kidman will agree?" George dispelled his unscrupulous thoughts with a single sentence.


    Ryan scratched his head and said that when he had money, he would go to the Caribbean to buy a small island, and then not only raise lions, but also tigers...well, get a few jackals and cheetahs and let them fight on the island. Here comes the animal version of The Hunger Games...


    "Hi, Ryan." Don Hahn, the executive producer of the film, walked over and interrupted his reverie.


    "Hello, Don." Ryan greeted him, pointed to the lion and asked, "What is this going to do?"


    "The studio hired a lion specially from the circus." Don Hahn seems to have been used to this kind of scene a long time ago, "Find inspiration for the painter, do you want to go and see it."


    After he died, he knew his fate. After rebirth, Ryan kept hiding as far as he could from any dangerous activities, waved his hand quickly, and said, "Just look at it from a distance."


    He looked around. Indeed, many painters were standing around with easels, and what they heard was the sound they were talking about.


    Ryan knows that this industry is an industry that requires imagination. The more relaxed the working atmosphere, the better.


    "Ryan, are you interested in going to Africa?" Don Hahn joked. The crew will go to Africa soon, and it is estimated that they will stay there for a while.


    "Forget it, I still have to go to school."


    Ryan shook his head in a hurry. In his eyes, Africa is synonymous with disease, chaos and war. He didn''t want to go to that place.


    I have to say that these painters have a strong professional spirit. They not only patiently observe every movement of the lion, but also a few bold people, they also took the initiative to walk over, accompanied by the trainer, and started with the lion. Close communication.


    Ryan asked himself that he did not have this kind of dedication, as he and Natalie often discussed, art in his eyes is more for money and honor.


    Perhaps no one understands this story more thoroughly than him, and no one knows the character of the character better than him, but after drawing on the setting draft of his painting, these hand-painted artists did not use it for long and decided to make the next step. Images such as Mu Shafa, Simba, Nana, Scar and Sanchi were created.


    In Ryan''s eyes, these characters are at least 90% similar to the previous life, which is enough for animated films.


    For hand-painted animation, determining the character image and customary actions can greatly speed up the progress. In the previous life, Disney spent a lot of time just to determine the animal images in it. Out of confidence in Ryan, Michael Eisner Under the strong intervention of "The Lion King", the animation department suspended other projects and devoted most of its power to "The Lion King".


    However, Disney dared to suspend several projects such as "Aladdin" and put all the artists in "The Lion King", which shows that his golden sign is gradually shining and can affect large-scale film companies.


    This is a good thing, isn''t it?


    Ryan¡¯s long-term effort is to establish a loose interest alliance, tie more forces to his chariot of interest, and lay the cornerstone for the future development of him and Nicole, and make use of his own influence as much as possible. , Protect the people he wants to protect at this stage when his own strength is still very weak.


    In the new semester, Ryan officially entered the fifth grade study career. Speaking of which, he is the oldest person in the grade. Most elementary school students in the United States start their primary school career at the age of six. In the past, I only entered elementary school in London at the age of seven.


    Natalie is one year younger than Ryan, but is in the same grade as him. This is where she often laughs at him. Fortunately, all his grades so far are A, so she can''t get any excuses in this regard. UU reading www.uukanshu.c¨®m


    In school, Ryan spent almost all the rest of his time writing. He had to get out of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as soon as possible. The press urging the phone to change Ms. Jinsli¡¯s mobile phone had almost exploded.


    From now on, he can have the current achievements. In addition to the accumulation of the previous life and the talent of this life, hard work is also an important factor. Since setting the goal, except for occasional relaxation, Ryan has hardly given himself time to play.


    Ryan also knows that after he finishes writing, the publishing house has to review the typesetting, hype, arrange for publication, and enter sales channels, etc. It really takes time.


    As his reputation grew worse, and all his works were published by "Aliens" publishing house, this small publishing house under the name of "Aliens" magazine increased its market value. It is said that paper books, Random House, Greek Publishing giants such as the Seoul Group are eyeing it, and it is likely to start an acquisition war.


    It¡¯s not that those large publishing houses have never done Ryan¡¯s work and want him to transfer to their name, but Ryan knows the truth that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. He is the biggest author of "Alien Body" and they will Tilt all resources to him, not to mention that the current contracts and royalties are at the top of the industry.


    Even if they switch to their portfolio, they will give more royalties? Besides, "Alien Body" has always done a good job in hype, otherwise there will be no sales today.


    In short, no matter how disturbed by the outside world, Ryan hid in the campus and the villa, and started a short life of not listening to the outside of the window and writing only magic books.

 Chapter 75： Door locked

    Under the silent night sky, Beverly Hills is like a city that never sleeps, with transparent lights shining. Ryan is sitting in the room, rushing to write, and in the half-covered window, a cool breeze occasionally blows in.


    Even though the weather in November is full of strong coolness, Ryan really likes this feeling, which allows him to keep his brain awake at all times.


    What he is writing is not a novel or a script, but a letter, a letter to Natalie.


    Natalie is far away in New York, and the two cannot see each other several times a year. It is through frequent letters and phone calls that they maintain a deep friendship with each other.


    "Dear Nat, congratulations on your winning the school debate. It''s a pity that you have known each other for two full years, but you have never refuted me. Well, I don''t want to argue with you in this communication. Tell you a good one. It is reported that the fourth episode of Harry Potter has been completed at the end of last month and has now been sent to the publishing house. If nothing else, it can be published next year."


    "I am currently writing a brand new script that is related to you. Do you want to know what it is? Haha, I won''t tell you in advance. Let''s put it this way, this is a script I specially prepared for you. I hope you will not Will refuse, this story will definitely make everyone in the United States know you, and even make you an eternal classic!"


    "Ah, bah~ the word eternity should not be used. In the ancient kingdoms of the East, this is a vocabulary to describe dead heroes. Also, I need to determine the image of the characters in the script. Please send me some recent photos... ¡­"


    It wasn''t until five pages of letterhead were written that Ryan stopped, sorted the letter, and prepared to mail it tomorrow.


    As written in the letter, as early as the middle of last month, after two months of hard work, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was finally finished. I wrote several short stories intermittently.


    The intentions of these novels are very simple. They occupy certain ideas in advance without causing too many spoilers, such as a handsome sports agent, or the relationship between the future man and the computer network.


    In addition, Jinsli was asked to preemptively buy the film adaptation rights of an old TV series "Mission Impossible" and several novels.


    In fact, he just grabbed Tom Cruise''s works in the next few years. If someone continues to make these films without buying the copyright from him, it will definitely constitute an infringement.


    Another novel about the relationship between humans and computer networks, has a striking name-The Matrix!


    If Nicole Kidman was wearing a tight black leather jacket, matched with her glamorous temperament, playing Chinese Kung Fu, and having a three-hundred-sixty degree kick, I wonder what the effect would be?


    This should be a good idea. Ryan smiled inexplicably, opened the desk drawer, and took out a check for ten thousand dollars.


    The cost of the manuscript comes from a recently published short story called "Symbols of Death", which tells the story of an idiotic man with amnesia killing his wife. Ryan uses two diametrically opposed clues to narrate, and these two clues are like a mess. The same, entangled together, makes people feel unstoppable headaches.


    Frankly speaking, Ryan doesn''t like such things. The reason why he wrote it was just to block the way for some people.


    Of course, this is just the beginning, more works will appear in the future.


    Cinema projectionist is a great and glorious profession. You don¡¯t have to change your career. Ryan muttered to himself and walked out of the room with a check.


    He is not an adult yet, and wants to cash the check, he needs the signature of his guardian. Nicole is catching up with the "Yihai Xiongfeng" scene recently. He goes to the studio every morning. If he doesn''t go to see her at night, he will probably have to drag it again. Several days.


    The doors of the two of them were separated by a long distance. Ryan was always upset whenever he saw this, which would remind him unconsciously. Since moving into this villa, he and Nicole have never had a relationship. It was as close as it was before, and sometimes even a slight estrangement was felt.


    When he walked to Nicole¡¯s room, Ryan didn¡¯t knock on the door. He turned the doorknob and planned to go straight in. For several years, whether it was him or Nicole, entering the other¡¯s room was the same as entering his own room. He never knocked on the door. .


    But the door did not move! This door, which has never been locked, turned out to be...locked!


    Ryan''s face changed in an instant. In the evening, without his and Nicole''s permission, the maid would never go up to the second floor. He used to come to Nicole often. She never locked the door. Now who is she guarding against? ?


    He always thought that even if another fifty years passed, she would open this door for him.


    With his eyes flickering, Ryan''s thoughts pressed in his heart came out again. Fortunately, he has a strong self-control ability, so he won''t let himself lose control. After taking a long breath, he gently knocked on the door of the room.


    "Ryan~" Nicole''s voice seemed a bit wrong, it sounded like nervous and panicked, "Wait a minute, I''ll be here."


    "Nicole, what are you doing?" Ryan frowned. It was almost two minutes. She should have come over even if she was taking a shower.


    "coming."


    With a creak, the door opened and Nicole Kidman let him into the room.


    There seemed to be a different kind of breath in the room, which was different from what Ryan had smelled before. His eyes quickly swept over the Australian girl and found that Nicole was a little strange.


    Her original white face turned red, as if she had drunk too much. The thin cotton pajamas that covered her body were crooked, as if she had just put on them. From the two protruding points on her chest, it can be seen that she should not be wearing underwear. .


    The most important thing is that her eyes drift away and she doesn''t look at herself at all.


    is really weird!


    Both the breath in the room and Nicole''s performance gave Ryan an inexplicable feeling. He didn''t speak, and walked toward Nicole''s big bed.


    "Rui...Ryan, are you looking for something to do with me?" Nicole said suddenly.


    "Something?" Ryan was taken aback. He came to her room as if he was drinking water and eating. What happened to her?


    Nicole quietly walked over and pulled him to the fabric sofa. Her body blocked the open bedside table and closed the cabinet door with her bare feet without a trace.


    But Ryan¡¯s eyes were so sharp that he had seen the open low cabinet a long time ago, which seemed to be a picture frame, and underneath it seemed to be a cigarette case. He shook his head and didn¡¯t think too much about it, leaving Nicole Kidman alone. Pulled him onto the sofa.


    "Nicole, this check needs your signature." Ryan passed the check in his hand.


    "You came here so late for it?" Nicole finished signing and returned it to him.


    "Late? It''s not ten o''clock now." Ryan looked at the girl who was covered with strangeness, "Nicole, you are not normal tonight, what happened?"


    As he said, Ryan touched her forehead, but the Australian girl seemed to not want him to touch her, so she leaned back slightly and hid.


    Ryan stared at the hand that touched the sky, and suddenly a strong sense of disappointment surged. After all, he has grown up, and in the eyes of the other party, there is a difference between men and women, but this feeling is really...very bad.


    Once upon a time, two people who could lie on the same bed and hug each other and sleep, unexpectedly created a gap. She is the most important person to him. He does not want to be at any distance from her, and he does not want to be with her in the future. separate.


    She... Ryan''s hands shook unconsciously, she is mine!


    The thoughts from the bottom of my heart poured out like a tide, and there was a huge gap in the defense line that was hard-established. Ryan closed his eyes hard and forced himself to stop looking at that cold face, he was afraid! Never been so scared! He was afraid that he would say irretrievable things on impulse and do things that would offend her.


    That would make it impossible for the two of them even their siblings.


    "Ryan, what''s wrong with you?" Now it was strange to change to Nicole. She could feel that Ryan''s mood was fluctuating.


    She stretched out her hand, seeming to want to take Ryan into her arms as she always did, but suddenly remembered what she had just done in the bedroom. Her heart that had not yet calmed down suddenly shook, and she used it. It took all the perseverance to put the arm back.


    The glamorous girl''s face is getting redder, her eyes seem to be crazy and confused. She leaned on the sofa and gently closed her eyes, her thoughts were like tightened steel claws, controlling her emotions.


    Slowly, she opened her eyes, and the room was empty. Ryan was no longer visible, and a wry smile appeared on her face.


    Maybe... Maybe you should accept Judy Foster''s suggestion? Nicole shook her head, and she had been friends with Judy Foster for more than a year. How could she not know her secret? Besides, the other party also half-tempted and half-seduced some suggestions to her~www.novelhall. com~ Actors seem to be a glamorous career. Behind reputation and money are huge pressures. It is extremely difficult to relax one''s tense nerves when frequently substituting oneself into another person''s world.


    Nicole Kidman¡¯s pressure is twofold. She knows that there are certain fantasies in her heart. If Ryan discovers it, what would he think of her...


    God, what should I do! She murmured and opened the bedside table.


    Ding-ding-dong-dong''s piano suddenly sounded. Nicole Kidman squinted her eyes and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. She knew it was the one who was most important to her was playing, but it was originally a cheerful song. Moonlight Sonata, why is it so depressing?


    After the sound of ¡¡¡¡ßË, Ryan''s hands fell heavily on the black and white keys, and he kept bullying on his chest, and the person slowly recovered his clarity. It seemed that the thoughts that shouldn''t have were all vented with the music.


    What is Nicole thinking? Ryan knows her very well, but God can''t even guess what a woman is thinking...


    In a daze, Ryan walked into the bathroom, opened the water valve, and let the cold water fall on his body, extinguishing the flames in his heart.


    Everything will be back to normal tomorrow! When Ryan walked out of the bathroom, he warned himself this way, not to face the delusion in his heart.


    However, he still didn''t understand a truth. The harder some thoughts were suppressed, the more violent they would rebound.


    ...... Three shifts, the code is so close to the computer, ready to see the story of the killer being killed by Loli...... Please collect~ Please recommend~

 Chapter 76： Plagiarized song

    Ryan quickly received photos from Natalie by mail. Girls generally enter puberty earlier than boys. She looks a lot older, and she has a faint Matilda demeanor.


    That''s right! What Ryan prepared for her is "Killer Leon" or "This Killer Is Not So Cold". Even though Natalie didn''t like this role at all when she grew up, how could Ryan disappear the first loli in movie history? .


    Okay, maybe the first Lolita is over. After all, there are "Lolita" and Judy Foster''s "Taxi Driver" first, but no one can deny that Matilda is A classic, but also a masterpiece of Natalie''s girlhood.


    Of course, Ryan is not a French guy full of **** thoughts. He will make some changes to the plot. This is inevitable. You must know that although Luc Besson knocked on the door of Hollywood in the previous life, it did not. Being received by the mainstream society, it even caused great criticism, which directly affected the box office of the film in North America.


    Yes, this movie is very popular in the Far East, especially Europe, and it has brought a lot of praise, but don¡¯t forget, whether it is Ryan or Natalie, the future will be in Hollywood. They are not French, so they can¡¯t make it. You can go back to Europe by slapping your ass.


    Ryan¡¯s current influence is huge. If you copy Luc Besson¡¯s director¡¯s cut version, there will be an abnormal relationship in the plot, and the plot of a middle-aged killer and a little girl sleeping together. Just the saliva of conservatives will be able to He sank to the bottom and drowned.


    Think about it, what kind of controversy would a person who has been called a role model for American teenagers by the media write such a story?


    Don¡¯t say what to do on your own. No matter in that country or region, conforming to the values ??of the mainstream society is a prerequisite for success.


    Ryan intends to portray Matilda and Leon as a complex feeling mixed with gratitude, paternal love, friendship and admiration. Some unnecessary plots are all replaced, so that the main theme of the movie is not It will make a big difference and reduce the controversy after the release.


    Ryan intends to write it out as soon as possible. Because time is tight, Jinsli and Universal Pictures are negotiating, and it is likely that they will reach a consensus in the near future. In that case, he must put the adaptation of the "Jurassic Park" script on the agenda. .


    Speaking of it, the negotiation is not complicated. Jenkins and Universal Pictures, represented by Jinsli, jointly invested in the film, each with a certain percentage of funds, and the copyright and income are divided according to the amount of investment.


    Universal Pictures is still considering, Ryan asked Jinsli to put out new conditions. In addition to the full authorization of Universal Pictures, if the film¡¯s North American box office does not reach the expected 200 million US dollars, Jenkins Pictures will automatically reduce the percentage. Of the fifteenth income.


    Ron Meyer is still insisting that there is no progress in the negotiations. The reason is simple. When "Terminator 2" was downgrade in North America, the box office reached more than 273 million U.S. dollars. Now Hollywood knows the name Ryan Jenkins. Means a huge box office appeal.


    Especially since "Jurassic Park" was published in 1986, it has topped the bestseller list in the United States dozens of times. In the past few years, I don¡¯t know how many book fans have been cultivated. At that time, they alone may be able to bring North America The box office pushed the height of 200 million US dollars.


    Besides, during the negotiation, Ryan also put forward a prerequisite-Spielberg must be in charge of the film guide.


    They have already contacted the Jewish director, and the other party refused without hesitation. In fact, many people in Hollywood know that he is running for "Schindler''s List" and even went to Poland several times.


    Ryan knew more or less about the negotiation process, but didn¡¯t want to intervene too much. As long as Universal Pictures used the nirvana of the previous life, Spielberg could only give in. Anyway, it was Universal Pictures that offended everyone. not him.


    "Jurassic Park" can get what kind of income, it is completely predictable. Ryan can drip off his saliva as long as he thinks of the box office of nearly 1 billion US dollars in the previous life, and the out-of-stock dinosaur dolls and t-shirts. You can go and buy the things you want to buy the most.


    Generally speaking, boys will enter the voice change period at the age of 12-15. The duration is as short as 6 months or as long as 2 years. This era is not like a new century where hormones are rampant. Many boys'' voice change period is advanced to 11 or even 10 years old. It¡¯s rare for Ryan to change his voice in his early 11s.


    Perhaps it was the favor of God. After entering November, Ryan finally bid farewell to the drake voice, and the tenderness in the voice disappeared completely. Thanks to the guidance of professionals, he has a very outstanding tone, timbre and range. The characteristics of the song are unique.


    This does not mean that Ryan has no worries from now on. The vocal change period of singing lasts for two or even three years. Even if his current voice is close to an adult, occasionally there will be unstable singing. This is a period of consolidation. Vocal cord protection still requires special attention.


    The only advantage of ¡¡¡¡ is that as long as he maintains a certain level, he can sing normally.


    Hollywood Records invited Ryan over as soon as they got the news. They looked forward to this moment for too long.


    In the past six months, they have not done nothing. After negotiating the record contract with Jinsli, they brought back the scores of the nine songs and started to make samples and accompaniment according to the suggestions written by Ryan. In addition, a five-member accompaniment band was formed.


    The accompaniment produced by ¡¡¡¡ has been sent to Ryan to listen to it before and has been modified many times. It can be said that the Hollywood record company has everything in place and only owes Ryan himself.


    In the music practice room, John Burns slapped his palms, everyone fell silent, Ryan beckoned to the band, and the accompaniment of "because.of.you" rang.


    "I don''t want to make the mistakes I made..."


    The magnetic singing voice is high-pitched and loud, with a touch of rebelliousness in its vigor and strength, giving people an indescribable charm. Although the voice is not completely stable, there are still small defects in the singing. It does not prevent everyone from applauding like crazy after the singing fell.


    "What do you think?" CEO Reid asked, approaching music director John Burns.


    "Absolute genius! The kids in the Mickey Mouse Club are not as good as half of him!" Burns nodded heavily, "The record can be on the agenda."


    In fact, Ryan has thought many times during this period that his puberty development comes earlier than his peers. As his height rises straight, it will be difficult to find a suitable role, even he cannot change this embarrassment. Period, since this is the case, then use music to fill in the gaps in this period of time.


    In addition to the strange single "he" he released, many of the songs he prepared were plagiarized. "Because of you" was re-arranged and changed the lyrics by him, so he naturally took it over.


    In addition, there are "lemon.Tree" by the Garden of Fools, Johnson & Johnson''s commercial song "the.show", the British boy version of "feeling.good", and the theme song "I.Believe.I.can." fly", and the lyrical version of "It''s.my.life".


    In this way, there are seven songs, and the other three use their own originals. One is the inspirational song sung in New Mexico. After Ryan worked hard to complete it, he gave an equally inspirational name " "Climbing", the other two are called "Under the Sun" and "After the Wind Blows."


    Originally, he still considered whether to come up with the English version of "I Don''t Want to Say I''m a Chicken", and then after thinking about it, now the bird has not caught a cold, and this song is more suitable for young Taylor¡¯s age to sing, or Forget it.


    As for the plagiarized songs, they are not all the same. No matter how good his memory is, it is only a person, not a computer. Moreover, he was not as enthusiastic about music as movies in his previous life. Naturally, there are some places that he will not remember, which requires him. Complete by yourself.


    Not only that, he has adjusted the arrangement of some songs, the most typical is "I.Believe.I.can.fly", this is a typical black R&B in the previous life, he doesn''t want to mix with those people And, the rhythm was changed to be more lively, and the black music content was reduced, and it was not like the original version of the one who was crying.


    There is also "It''s.my.life", yes, this is the CS theme song rumored on the Internet in the previous life. Of course, this is just a false rumor. It has little to do with CS, just like "The. Dawn" was rumored to be the overture of the dead. They are just outstanding works by European and American bands.


    Ryan did not adopt the rock version, but used the lyrical version. The reason is very simple. First, the rock version can be sung on specific occasions, and second, he must protect his vocal cords.


    These songs are either inspirational, or playful, or reflect personal mood, and basically have nothing to do with love. After all, Ryan is not a true Westerner. In the subconscious, it is difficult to sing lingering love songs at this age.


    "Ryan, we plan to complete the recording as soon as possible, and the record will be available on the New Year holiday It is CEO Reid who speaks.


    The people sitting in the small conference room, except Ryan and Jinsli, are all high-level Hollywood record companies, and there is even an executive director of Walt Disney.


    "I have no opinion."


    Ryan thought about the recent schedule. Except for the premiere of "Bodyguard" on Thanksgiving, there are no other work announcements. You can take a while to record the song, so that before the album goes on the market, you can You can be the shopkeeper.


    "Well, we will coordinate with Pat."


    I seem to be asking for leave again. Ryan sighed, it seems that this semester will still be an incomplete semester.


    The release of records is far more troublesome than Ryan imagined. He not only has to participate in the recording, but also practice with the band to ensure the minimum tacit understanding.


    A few times, he wanted to make suggestions, what kind of bands he wanted, just use the accompaniment directly.


    However, although he has limited knowledge of European and American music circles in his previous life, he also knows that every first-line singer has his own band. This should be a good thing, isn¡¯t it?


    Hollywood Records is far more anxious than Ryan expected. They have seen the excellence of the song a long time ago, and are hoping to get a share of the pop music market with this record.


    You must know that the sales of the single "he" has now exceeded 900,000 copies. It is almost a foregone conclusion that it will reach one platinum this year. They have incredible confidence in Ryan.

 Chapter 77： Recording

    For St. John¡¯s Elementary School, Ryan Jenkins¡¯ not asking for leave is really worth considering. It will make the whole school feel uncomfortable from faculty to students. Now that¡¯s good, the school¡¯s signature students are finally back on track, please It took a long vacation of twenty days.


    Ryan started a short life of writing scripts in the morning and recording with record companies in the afternoon. Nicole also said a few words about this.


    "My dear, doing this will make you overworked and will not be good for your body."


    "Nicole, I''m as strong as a cow, don''t worry." This intensity of work may be unbearable for peers, but for Ryan, it is not a big problem. Even if you are slightly tired, after a night of rest, Will become vigorous again.


    Besides, in fact, the work intensity during recording is not too great. For him, it is more like a test and summary of learning music over the years. Moreover, his musical talents and accomplishments are indeed excellent enough, and the recording has been still going on. It''s smooth.


    In addition, he has to shoot a cover for the album. The name of the album has been determined. Like most new singers, the first album will use his name as the album name. He is no exception. The album is called "Ryan Jenkins".


    Originally, Ryan wanted to learn from some personalities who had seen it in his previous life, designed the cover himself, and gave a simple but weird album title, but after listening to the introduction of the company¡¯s professionals, he immediately dispelled these unrealistic ones. idea.


    As John Burns said, ¡°It¡¯s necessary to have a personality, but it¡¯s beyond market acceptance and it¡¯s doomed to fail. Also, Ryan, don¡¯t you think your name has a powerful appeal? ?"


    Well, in order to benefit, entertainment companies will really take advantage of all the conditions. Ryan sighed that it is better now. After a few years, in order to attract attention, let alone entertainment companies, certain singers and actors will act with no lower limit.


    From the cover to the packaging, and then to the specific publicity plan, Ryan gave it all to professionals. For one thing, his time is limited and it is impossible to waste it. Secondly, he has a prioritized knowledge and specializes in the technical industry. He is not a know-it-all. Miss.


    So, let''s focus on recording songs.


    "Stop!" Burns'' voice came from the headset, and Ryan also noticed the problem and stopped quickly.


    "This sentence is too bad, Ryan, you have broken your voice."


    "Yeah." Ryan waved his hand and said, "John, take a break, I want to find the feeling."


    "I.Believe.I.can.fly" is being recorded. After this song was re-arranged by him, although it still has R&B style, the tune and rhythm are much brighter, especially Ryan¡¯s singing. Unlike the previous life, he always carries a deep gloom and sorrow.


    Ryan walked out of the recording studio, and a staff member hurriedly handed over water. Burns pinched his chin, thinking about something. After a long time, there was probably a result. Then he said, "Ryan, I Do you think this song is a different kind of singing?"


    "Change another?" Ryan raised his eyebrows.


    "Yes, I think the singing should be darker and hoarse." He suggested.


    "Deep and hoarse?" Ryan repeated, with a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth. Didn''t this turn around and go back? He shook his head, "John, this is a positive song, why use that kind of singing? And the whole tune is so bright, it will give people a very uncoordinated feeling."


    "Can you change the tune?" Burns smiled, but didn''t insist. He knew how good the boy opposite was in music.


    took a break for about ten minutes, and the recording started again. Ryan was rarely struggling with his energy, as if he was competing with others, but no one else knew who he was competing against.


    Once Ryan was serious, the strength he showed was indeed extraordinary. After nearly an hour of intermittent recording, Burns''s shout came from the headphones again, "Yes! Great!"


    Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally achieved the effect that he and Burns were satisfied with. After listening to it, he nodded gently. He didn''t dare to say that his version was better than the previous life, but it changed slightly. While looking at the style, it is closer to the fashion trend.


    "My persistence is correct, isn''t it?" Out of the recording studio, Ryan smiled brightly and asked Burns.


    "Okay! Okay! Ryan is always right! Old John is always wrong." Burns smiled happily. He is almost fifty years old, so naturally he won''t care about a child. , Well, he admits that this is not an ordinary child.


    "Continue?" He asked again.


    "Of course." Ryan nodded, "It''s just right now. Let''s record "It¡¯s.my.life" next, and if possible, we will solve "Climbing" as well."


    The staff nearby, the corners of their mouths tremble constantly. A singer who can record a song in one or two days is very good. Like Ryan Jenkins, the whole album is about to be completed in a week. It can be described as a genius or a monster.


    "Ryan, are you ready?" Burns was a little worried, and the range and lung capacity required for the last two songs were not ordinary.


    Ryan didn''t speak, just raised a thumb, he naturally understood why these two songs were put to the end.


    In the past six months or so, he has not only received vocal training during the vocal change period, but also found a professional coach to properly increase his lung capacity through some exercise methods. He is already strong, but he has continued to exercise. The vocal cords have a natural advantage. Although there is a gap with Maria Kelly¡¯s buffalo lungs and 5 octaves, in its current state, even if it is a bit difficult to deal with these two songs, it is irrelevant.


    The lyrical version of "It¡¯s.my.life" is not as hot and exciting as the rock version, but it is more listenable. The soothing lyrics and tunes can give people a sense of tranquility.


    I have to say that when the state breaks out, work will always go smoother. Seeing the staff outside the recording studio shook his fists one by one, Ryan also squeezed hard, and he very cleverly controlled his singing to a broken tone. The edge makes the whole song have a peculiar hoarseness.


    Out of the recording studio, Ryan drank a glass of water, and Burns smiled and said to him, "Ryan, you did a great job, take a break and continue, we might be able to finish recording "Climbing"!"


    "This album will definitely get good results!" a staff member said, "I firmly believe in this!"


    good grade? Of course. Ryan¡¯s self-confidence instantly swelled, not to mention how his three original songs are, the other seven songs are classic English songs from previous lives, and some are even champion singles. Generally speaking, there can be two in an album. Even if the album is very successful with three very popular songs, these songs are now transplanted into the same album by him. If it still can''t sell well, then just find a place to bury yourself.


    Besides, Ryan is confident that the original song "Climbing" will not be inferior to any one.


    Just like the previous media''s summary, as long as it does not involve politics and current affairs, songs are far less affected by society than movies.


    After a break for about ten minutes, Ryan just wanted to say to Burns to continue, when suddenly a staff member knocked on the door of the recording studio and said, "Ms. Jinsli is here and there is something to talk about."


    Ryan and Burns smiled helplessly. Today''s recording can only end here. Under the leadership of the staff, they walked into a conference room. Jinsli and CEO Reid were already waiting. Here.


    After sitting down, Ryan understood after hearing Jinsli''s words.


    In the summer, Johnson & Johnson once asked him to act as the spokesperson for children''s toiletries. As neither party was in a hurry, it was only now that a result was reached.


    "In this way, they want to sign me an endorsement contract of three million dollars a year?" After getting Jinsli''s affirmative reply, Ryan squeezed his chin and continued to ask, "What about "The.show"? "


    Ryan created an advertising song for them, which was part of the contract. He simply handed over the recorded "The.show" to Jinsli, who was in charge of the negotiation. This song was among all plagiarized songs. The lyrics were He changed the most, almost all of them, after all, the song in the previous life was about a little girl, and now of course it has been replaced by a little boy.


    "They are very satisfied with the song, and they have reached an agreement with Hollywood Records." Jinsli took a look at Reed, and they should have agreed.


    It''s strange to be dissatisfied! Ryan murmured in his heart, "Theshow" was originally the advertising theme song of a certain product of Johnson & Johnson in the previous life. As for why Hollywood Records agreed, it is very simple. The advertisement will definitely be listed before the record. This kind of free publicity opportunity is not needed. Isn''t that a fool?


    "John, did the recording go well?" Reid asked at this time.


    "Very smoothly." Burns laughed, UU reading "Ryan''s condition is getting better and better. If nothing happens, the recording can be finished in the past few days."


    "Great!" Reid seemed to be under tremendous pressure, clenched a fist with one hand and smashed his palm, "What about the cover? Is Ryan satisfied?"


    "It''s okay." Ryan nodded, his aesthetics is too far from that of people of this era, and he hardly expressed any opinions when making the cover.


    "Well, I will let each department speed up the progress!"


    Coming out of the meeting room, today¡¯s work is over. Ryan greeted Burns and the others and planned to go home directly, but before getting into the car, Jinsli chased after him and wrote a few pages of thin script. , Gave it to him.


    "This is the script of the advertisement, Ryan, according to the agreement between the record company and Johnson & Johnson, if the MV for "The.show" is produced, the advertisement will become part of it."


    Endorsements are different from advertisements, and the various terms are not general.


    Ryan flipped over and found that he was not the only one who appeared in the commercial, but also a child about two years old. He couldn''t help but frown. A child at this age was completely uncontrollable in the filming. Once an accident occurs, God will know. How long does it take to shoot the ad


    "Pat, did anyone choose the kid in the ad?" he asked.


    "Not yet." Jin Sili seemed to have an understanding.


    "Contact them, I can recommend someone." Ryan laughed unscrupulously.


    ...Two updates today~ Submerge me with favorites and recommendations, and the homepage will be launched next week~~

 Chapter 78： Advertisement and little girl

    When seeing the role of a child in the advertising script, Ryan immediately remembered a person. Compared with other children of about two years old, this little guy is much smarter, and whether it is herself or her Both of her parents have taken many childhood videos for her as a memorial.


    In this respect, she is also a rare child with shooting experience.


    As for who the little guy is, there is only one such big child Ryan knows.


    Getting out of the car, changing to the battery car on the set, and driving towards the studio, Ryan was a little curious, how did Pat Kingsley convince her parents.


    "Pat, did Mrs. Andrea have no objection?" he asked.


    "It''s not that simple." Jin Sili glanced at him, and did not elaborate, "Convincing others is just the basic quality of an agent."


    Ryan scratched his head. The Swift family is far from the Rohan family. If the Rohan family can barely be regarded as the middle class, the Swift family can be regarded as the rich class. Such families are generally rarely allowed. The child made an appearance in the media early.


    Jumped out of the battery car and just walked into the studio, Ryan heard the sound of jumping, an overly lively little girl, holding a prop brush, chasing and killing two staff members, having a great time. Care.


    Seeing this, Ryan knew that something was wrong, and prepared to sneak in, but unfortunately it was too late. The blonde girl had spotted him.


    "Ryan, don''t...run." The little girl ran towards him in a crisp cry.


    "Hey, Tyler, be careful, don''t fall." Ryan opened his hand and picked up the girl who was rushing. Otherwise, her mouth would be crooked, and it would definitely be flooded.


    Where could the naughty girl easily let him go, picked up the soft-bristled brush, and rubbed his face for a while. Fortunately, his head turned so fast that the brush basically fell on the side and back of his head, although his handsome appearance was preserved, Unfortunately, the hair became a bird''s nest.


    "Stop it! Taylor, otherwise..."


    "Ryan, I...I often bathe dolls like this." Taylor chuckled, "It''s...clean, yes, I bathed you, thank you...you should say."


    Ryan almost turned his nostrils into the sky, still want to say thank you? Hell, he knew that there would be no good when meeting this playful guy.


    But, hum~ I''ll take a shower for you in a while. Ryan thought triumphantly.


    Handing the little girl to his mother, Ryan walked into the dressing room and tidyed up her messy hair. The director of the advertising crew came over to tell him the drama after a few conversations with Jinsli.


    This kind of children''s advertisement is very simple. For Ryan, it is not difficult at all. In fact, the director also understands this. The key to determining the progress of the advertisement is not on him, but on the little girl.


    "Thank you, Director Mundia." Ryan expressed his thanks very politely. Sometimes, proper humility does no harm.


    The plot of the advertisement is very few, that is, Ryan''s brother, when he sees his sister or younger brother-at this age, men and women cannot be distinguished from the camera-dirty, take the initiative to give them a bath, and then, the bath products boomed. , In post-production, add the song "The.show".


    "Hi, Tyler." Ryan kept a distance from her and sat down.


    "You are an idiot, Ryan." The little girl said these words so fluently that Ryan rolled her eyes, but the girl continued, "This is...Nate told me!"


    Ok! Miss Natalie Herschel, you really don''t let any chance hit me! Ryan gritted his teeth.


    The director came over at this moment, looked at Tyler, put on the most kind smile, "Taylor, I heard you know Ryan?"


    "Huh~" The little girl had nostrils in the sky, "He is a fool."


    Obviously, the director did not expect to get such an answer, his face was a little embarrassed, and he continued, "It looks like you are very familiar. Let Ryan take a bath for you?"


    "Not good!" Taylor replied very simply, dancing the soft-bristled brush in his hand, and said softly, "Why... didn''t I help him take a bath? Brushes...I have them all."


    "My dear, didn''t you promise when we came?" Mrs. Andrea had no choice but to speak.


    "Really?" The little girl blinked her innocent eyes. After thinking about it, she said, "Then...well! I''m going to listen to songs in the shower and listen to Ryan fools singing!"


    Ryan kept his eyes, nose, nose and heart. Taylor in the previous life was said to be a girl with sharp teeth. Unexpectedly, she showed her talent at such a young age. No wonder her ex-boyfriends who were ridiculed by her were a red Over one.


    There is no reason for children of this age. When little Taylor bites Ryan to bathe her, he must sing to her, otherwise...


    Mr. Director scratched his head vigorously. If it weren''t for this little girl who had been recommended by Ryan Jenkins, he really wanted to change someone, and now he had to do it.


    "Director Mendia!" Seeing the director''s embarrassment, Ryan had no choice but to suggest, "Do you think this works? Do you have the accompaniment for the song? That''s good, I will play the accompaniment during shooting, I will sing to Taylor, and record live... ¡­Well, it should be difficult to meet the requirements, I want to replace it in post-production, shouldn¡¯t it be difficult?¡±


    This is indeed a good way, but in this way, the advertising script I wrote has to be fine-tuned. Fortunately, Mendia is not someone who doesn''t know how to work around. He nodded slightly and went to discuss with the crew.


    The first shot was a few shots of Ryan. After just a few trial shots, he easily found the status. Besides, this is just a children''s advertisement. The director is not like David Fincher or James Cameron. Really.


    "Cut!" The director breathed a sigh of relief. He is considered to be an old man shooting children''s commercials. If the little actors he works with can be half as Ryan Jenkins...ah no, as long as a quarter of the performance, he Work will definitely be more than half easier.


    When it¡¯s Taylor¡¯s turn, it¡¯s troublesome. The little girl doesn¡¯t know what to cooperate with. All kinds of mischievous things emerge in an endless stream, making her deliberately grimacing when she is smiling, and poking her mouth when she is pretending to be cute. It seems to cry for you at any time.


    "Taylor, obedient." Ryan squeezed her little nose, "As long as you are obedient, I will buy you two sets of the latest Barbie dolls after you go out."


    "I... don''t grin~" The little girl curled her lips.


    "Then what do you want?" Ryan scratched his head a little. You must know that in the agreement between Johnson & Johnson and Hollywood Records, this advertisement will become part of the MV. Otherwise, why would he bring Tyler here.


    "Hydrangea!" The little girl didn''t even think about it, but she gave a milky answer, "I want the garden to be full of hydrangea."


    "Okay, okay." Ryan didn''t care if the season was right, so he should come down first.


    It seems that the acquisition was successful, and then Taylor cooperated a lot, although he continued to NG, at least he no longer deliberately made trouble.


    Looking at the shooting in the field, Ryan thought of Nicole again. The Australian girl is now the darling of advertisers. Although she is far from the height of her previous life, he heard Jinsli say that Nicole participated in a certain perfume brand. When the commercial was filmed, it only took less than two hours and more than one million US dollars were taken away.


    Ryan believes that with herself, Nicole will definitely emit a more brilliant light. When she will not reappear in her previous life, her acting skills will continue to be praised, but her films will continue to fail, and she will become the highest paid actress in Hollywood at the same time. A veritable box office poison.


    At the end of the day, I did not take too many shots, and most of the time was wasted on coaxing the children.


    The next day, Taylor was obviously obedient. Why? Quite simply, after the shooting ended yesterday, Ryan talked with Scott on the phone. After obtaining the consent of the other party, he ordered a small truck of hydrangea from the gardening company and planted them in the garden of Swift''s home.


    In the makeshift bathroom, the director nodded to the scene after seeing the crew in their respective positions.


    "The fifth act, begin!"


    The accompaniment of "The. Show" is cute and cute, and Ryan''s singing is lively and lively, but it is very personal.


    "I''m just a little at a loss, life is a maze, love is only one of the mysteries, I don''t know where to go..."


    While humming a song, Ryan showed off Johnson & Johnson''s products...


    "Cut! Passed!" As the director shouted, everyone breathed out. This is already the 8th filming. The little girl hiding in the foam in the bathtub is definitely a trick bag, almost driving them crazy. .


    Mr. Director quietly wiped off his sweat, and listed this girl named Taylor Swift as someone who could never cooperate.


    "Ryan, the song...can''t stop!"


    Just as Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, the little girl held up the water and poured it on her head. The foamy warm water slowly ran down from his hair, turning him into a soup chicken.


    It was Scott who came with Taylor today. He took the camera and wanted to record his daughter¡¯s rare first advertisement. Seeing this situation, he immediately came over and pressed the shutter, just in time to pour Taylor into the second hand. The scene above Ryan was recorded.


    "Taylor!"


    Ryan stared at the girl in the bathtub. The little girl was not afraid of him at all, but yelled in excitement, blinking innocent blue eyes, and seemed to say, ¡®Come on, come on, I¡¯m not afraid of you~¡¯


    "Scott." Ryan hurriedly hid behind him, and God knew that this little guy would continue to attack, "After the photo is washed out, please give me a picture?"


    "Huh? Okay." Scott clicked the shutter and asked curiously, "Ryan, what do you want the photo for?"


    "This is proof!" Ryan looked back at the happy little girl playing in the water, "When Taylor grows up in the future, I want to show her what she did to me when she was a child!"


    Little Taylor, when you grow up, I will definitely take out this picture and blackmail a lot! Ryan thought fiercely in her heart, and suddenly felt something wrong. With her temperament, if she was blackmailed, she would definitely write herself into the song and ridicule her.


    ...I slept in and slept in on vacation. . . Seeking collection~Recommend~

 Chapter 79： bodyguard

    After shooting the commercial, Ryan recorded the last song of the album "Climb", and then, Thanksgiving came.


    However, before enjoying the turkey meal, he has to go to the premiere of a movie.


    "Bodyguard" chose to premiere on the night before Thanksgiving, which is very different from the previous life. Since the day it was launched, the film has attracted the attention of countless media. During this period, many people called. Ask the movie''s release time.


    Nowadays, who doesn''t know the background in which this movie was born. As a product of the conflict between super genius Ryan Jenkins and superstar Tom Cruise, it is hard not to attract people''s attention.


    Just when Warner released the first trailer, the major media re-turned the original story, and it was another hype. As for that video, it naturally became the first choice for rebroadcasting by major TV stations, and some talk shows were also Starting to ridicule, CNN¡¯s famous mouthpiece, Larry King, suggested in his show that if the movie sells at the box office, Warner Bros. and Jenkins Pictures should give out red envelopes for Tom Cruise.


    Even when Tom Cruise was out, he was blocked in the street by paparazzi and asked him what he thought of the movie.


    Brother Atang was not a broad-minded person. What''s more, he was so disheartened by this incident. He hasn''t received a film contract this year yet. His face was pale on the spot, and he wanted to vomit blood for three liters.


    All the movie premieres are similar. The difference is that Ryan walked on the red carpet alone, and Nicole and Judy Foster walked into the Chinese theater early.


    The media knows who the real protagonist of the movie premiere is. Unfortunately, Ryan will not give them another chance to provoke a fight. After signing a few names for the fans, he doesn¡¯t even have a regular drama group. Participating, amidst the clamor of reporters and paparazzi, quickly walked into the theater.


    He has been temporarily in the upper hand in this war without gunpowder. There is no need to be reluctant in front of reporters. It will not do the slightest good for his own image. Uncertainty will cause public opinion to turn. Besides, what should be done. , He will not do less, so why add seasoning to those flies.


    Went around in the front hall of the theater and greeted people who he did not know. As he grows older, he must expand his contacts. Even if Americans pay more attention to practical interests, the human relationships within the rules must also be unacceptable. less.


    Soon, he found Nicole and Judy Foster, they were talking together. "Hey, Judy." Ryan took Nicole''s arm calmly. "I didn''t expect you to come."


    "Of course it''s coming." Judy Foster smiled meaningfully, "This is the script you created based on me. Why should I come over and take a look."


    "Come on, Judy, I have told you a lot." Ryan waved his hand in dissatisfaction.


    "Okay, Ryan." Judy Foster put a smile away, "I didn''t mind, I think you know."


    Ryan shrugged her shoulders playfully, speaking of it, Warner was still restrained, only to play the banner of Ryan Jenkins''s fourth script in the promotion, by the way, Tom Cruise was mentioned, but he was very interested in the movie. The source of creativity is not mentioned, even if everyone knows it.


    Anyway, the assassination of Reagan by John Hinckley was the biggest pain in Judy Foster''s heart, and people in the circle knew that she was Nicole Kidman''s best friend.


    It didn¡¯t take long for a few more people to join their small circle.


    "I.will.always.love.you" and "I.have.nothing" are great. I like them very much. They have a powerful force. Of course, the other songs are also good! Ryan, you are so A genius!" The one talking to Ryan was a black woman, Whitney Houston.


    "The song is good, but without your interpretation, I am afraid it will lose half of its color." The original soundtrack Ryan has tried it out, and it is really good. Compliments don''t need to spend money, even if he doesn''t particularly like her, he is still small. He gave her a few words.


    This kind of gathering is just like that. You compliment me a few words, I compliment you a few words, everyone is pulling relations, talking about the recent situation, even the investment of some movies, it is also on this occasion that the initial intentions have been determined.


    With a shot of the protagonist Frank Farmer played by Kevin Costner, a gangster was killed and the movie kicked off.


    The taciturn iceberg bodyguard and the passionate female star successively showed their own personalities and lives. They are like two parallel lines, and they never seem to intersect, and there must be dog blood in love movies. The plot, of course, will not be less here, the hero and heroine must, surely, and absolutely start from hostility and confrontation.


    As for the transition of the relationship between the two, is there anything more appropriate than a hero to save the beauty?


    The heroine Rachel was shocked by fans during a concert and fell off the stage. When the accident was about to happen, the bodyguard Frank rescued him in time and led Rachel out of the frenzy of fans and left safely. , The relationship between the two gradually improved.


    Although ¡¡¡¡Hero Saves the Beauty attracts attention, the biggest highlight of the movie here is a song. The heroine sang "I.have.nothing" on the stage. It was fast-paced and catchy, which won a round of applause.


    In order to thank the bodyguard, Rachel used an excuse to invite him to dinner, and then followed Frank back to his home. In fact, most people would guess what is going to happen, but this kind of plot is often what people like watch.


    In the bedroom, Rachel picked up a katana and teased his bodyguard. Frank took off Rachel¡¯s silk scarf and threw it into the sky. The silk scarf fell on the blade and broke into two pieces.


    Seeing this, Ryan was a little depressed. In the script, he changed the samurai sword here to a Chinese sword, but the director Mick Jackson finally got the samurai sword. There is no other way. As usual, as a screenwriter, Ryan should act with the crew so that he can change the script at any time as needed.


    He doesn''t have the American time to worry about these things. He can only grant the director the right to change the script. Of course, if it is the main plot, he must get his consent.


    What''s next in the movie? Well... it''s all developed to this point. If the hero and the heroine don''t go to bed, it will definitely make the audience curse the screenwriter and director as boring. This kind of dog blood must be spilled.


    It¡¯s just that this passion scene is not long, and it will inevitably disappoint many people who want to see the coquettish side of Whitney Houston.


    After getting up the next day, Frank felt very guilty of his impulse and wanted to draw a clear line with Rachel so that he could better perform his duties as a bodyguard. Since then, the two have just had a relationship and have become alienated. In order to retaliate against Frank, Rachel does not hesitate to seduce his old colleague Bowman, pretending to be affectionate with him.


    It''s just that she didn''t know that Bowman was the crazy killer who wanted to kill her.


    In order to avoid the crazy killer who kept sending letters to Rachel, Frank took the Rachel family back to his villa in the country. After an explosion, Frank targeted Rachel¡¯s sister Nikki. Under his pressure, Nikki finally admitted that because she was jealous of her sister''s achievements, she hired a killer to kill Rachel.


    As a result, on that night, the killer regarded Nikki as a manslaughter of Rachel, but Frank followed it up but didn''t get any results.


    Rachel was nominated for Best Actress Oscar. After the host announced her award, when Rachel walked to the stage, the killer Bowman disguised himself as a cameraman and aimed at Rachel with a gun hung under the camera. .


    A laser spot appeared on the female star¡¯s face, and the audience¡¯s hearts were all raised. Although most people can guess that the conscientious bodyguard will definitely save the star at the most dangerous moment, but he still bears it. Can''t help worrying.


    Accompanied by the soundtrack of "I.have.nothing", Rachel stood on the stage of the highest honor, raising his hands high to celebrate the victory. At the very moment, Frank rushed over from the side of the stage and blocked it. In the chaotic scene, Frank found Bowman and shot him.


    "He is my bodyguard! He is my bodyguard!" In the affectionate stare at Frank, Rachel finally understood the feelings that the bodyguard had suppressed in her heart, and shouted, "No! No! Frank, Don''t die! Hold on!"


    At the same time, the Oscar''s best actress card was no one cares about. It fell alone in the corner of the stage, and was picked up by Rachel''s agent and stuffed into his pocket.


    This kind of contrast lens is even more powerful. The female celebrity has thrown away the highest honors in the entertainment industry, and devoted herself to the bodyguard which shows the depth of love.


    How can a movie become a classic? There must be at least one lens that will move people''s minds, remember them in their hearts, and will not forget them easily. Whenever they think about it, they will still be touched.


    So at the end, the most bloody, touching and classic shot of the whole movie appeared. In the singing of "I.will.always.loveyou", Rachel ran off the plane, wearing a windbreaker and a headscarf. , Rushed to Frank.


    At the same time, the singing voice gradually turned from low to high. After suppressing the whole movie, the protagonist¡¯s feeling of wanting to say and rest broke out in the heart-wrenching singing, and the two kissed tightly. Together, the feelings that have been suppressed by the audience and the movie have been completely vented.


    Just as Ryan suggested in the script, the director used a 720-degree rotating lens here to show the audience this affectionate kiss.


    Frankly speaking, except for bodyguards and big stars, which are considered new ideas of this era, most of the plots of this movie are the **** bridges commonly used in love movies, but the airport farewell scenes and "I.will.always.love." The song "you" improved the whole movie by at least two grades.


    "Wow~"


    When the subtitles fell, there was enthusiastic applause in the theater. Many people flocked to the cast and crew to express their congratulations. After all, they are all professionals. It is very clear that as long as there are no accidents, this will be a big hit. the film.


    ¡­¡­Two more updates today¡­please collect~please recommend...thank you friends for your rewards, thank you for your support

 Chapter 80： First payment

    After the movie ended, Ryan greeted Warner¡¯s people, pulled Nicole and drove off quickly, the reporters are all going to the press conference, don¡¯t take this opportunity to leave, do you have to wait for them to start chase and intercept?


    He notified Warner in advance that he would not participate in the press conference after the premiere. He is not a fool. He will automatically serve as a target for media fire. Besides, there are Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston. The two big stars are here, and news gossip is enough for them to write.


    The reporters and paparazzi are indeed concentrated in the press hall of the theater. They have a tacit understanding for a long time. They must revisit the original conflict in front of Ryan Jenkins and detonate the topic again. If it can inspire him to talk to Tom K. Ruth fired it, and it couldn''t be more wonderful.


    It¡¯s just that when someone from the crew showed up, they discovered that the little guy... slipped away!


    Everyone knows that Ryan Jenkins is young, but he is not easy to deal with, but it is extremely rare to retreat without a fight.


    After the Thanksgiving holiday, Ryan took up his schoolbag and re-entered the campus, focusing most of his energy on the script of "Killer Leon". As for the reporter who besieged him again because of the release of "Bodyguard" , Completely turned a blind eye, anyway, he is now a two-point line, except for home and school, hardly go to other places, those guys have nothing to do with him.


    "The selection of "Bodyguard" is novel, combining thrills, action, gunfights, entertainment, and romantic tenderness together successfully, offering the audience a fascinating masterpiece based on stereotypes!"


    "This movie does not have many intense scenes, but uses a lot of space to describe the best feelings of mankind. A word of''love'' runs through it, from the first depression to the fierce explosion at the end, to vent this feeling. It¡¯s so vivid and vivid, I have to say that this is an excellent romance film."


    "Compared with the film¡¯s clich¨¦ plot, we should pay more attention to the film¡¯s soundtrack and the songs interspersed in it. There is no doubt that Whitney Houston sang "I.will.always.love.you" at the end of the film. "It will become a classic!"


    "Kevin Costner made a lively interpretation of an iron-blooded man who was not swaying in appearance but warm and sincere in his heart, strong, brave, and warm. The singer-songwriter Whitney Houston, who made his debut on the big screen, performed a big show. Close, sway freely, and vividly interpret a female singer who is stubborn, secular, arrogant but kind-hearted and longing for love."


    The new movie was released, and all kinds of comments were indispensable. Amidst the various discussions, the movie passed its first week.


    In fact, as many commentators have said, this movie is indeed very clich¨¦d, but it is clich¨¦d and moving. Whether Kevin Costner or Whitney Houston, they are now well-deserved superstars with powerful Charisma.


    What''s more, audiences across the United States have long been curious about this movie. Even if they heard some intermittent plots from news videos, they did not prevent them from buying tickets frantically. It only took more than three hours to witness Ryan Jenkins. What will the miracle created be like?


    Facts have proved that topics, hype and publicity, as well as the golden signs gradually erected by Ryan Jenkins, have a huge impact on the box office numbers of a movie.


    After the first four days, the film dropped to the top of the North American box office rankings, winning a box office figure of 41.15 million U.S. dollars. After the second week, the box office had a certain shock, but it still won 29.55 million U.S. dollars. So far, the film is not only Costs have been recovered and profits have been generated.


    On the other hand, the impact of "Bodyguard" is not inferior to the box office numbers. When the film is released, the original soundtrack will be released in advance. The single "I.will.always.Love.you", after the first week, Not only did it become the No. 1 single on the Billboard, it also broke the single-week single sales record, selling more than 632,000 copies.


    Whether it is a box office, a single, or an original soundtrack, there is a copy of Ryan and Jenkins Pictures in the division.


    Of course, if someone likes it, someone will oppose it. For example, a film critic of the "Hollywood Report" wrote, "This is a movie without any creativity, a clich¨¦ plot, and a contrived performance, except for a few songs. It sounds good, it¡¯s useless, Whitney Houston should go back and continue singing instead of starting a new career on the big screen! Especially Ryan Jenkins, if his scripts were of this level, that day would be a bit of an exaggeration. Up!"


    Unfortunately, his views do not represent the views of the film company. The script written by Ryan has been successful in succession. If once or twice or accidentally, how about three or four times? Even industry insiders who are slow to react understand that Ryan Jenkins has an extremely keen instinct for the appetite of most audiences.


    So far, the four scripts he has created, except for the blockbuster "Sixth Sense", the rest are all borrowed from Hollywood''s long-used bridges and applied to new ideas, using new bottles of old wine. , Once again sold to the audience, but extremely popular in the market.


    There is no doubt that the reason why Ryan Jenkins is so productive in the script, this tricky method has helped him a lot, but everyone knows that he is tricking, but it can¡¯t be denied, whether it¡¯s "Home Alone" The nonsense, or the warmth of Sleepless in Seattle, or the **** love of "Bodyguard", is covered with a new coat on top of the clich¨¦s.


    And this coat is creativity, creativity is sometimes cheap, but creativity that can bring benefits is the most valuable thing.


    The media''s interpretation of "Bodyguard" is still going on. Inevitably, Brother Tom would be taken to the public by reporters and paparazzi, and walked around for a few laps. The big star was very simple and went directly to the Caribbean private after the movie Vacation on the island.


    "The most commendable thing about this film is Ryan''s bold creativity. He put a sincere and passionate love on two people of different skin color and showed it in the film. This pioneering work represents the progress of the United States!"- "Vanity Fair"


    Ryan did not know whether the screenwriter and director of this movie in the previous life had such intentions, but he absolutely did not mean that. Perhaps the term brain supplement has not yet appeared, but the media and the public¡¯s interpretation of many movies is undoubtedly unclear. Show this vocabulary.


    Whether America is making progress, it''s a matter of mind!


    Besides, this kind of thing is just to say, the status of black people...Well, this kind of problem can never be solved, even in the entertainment industry, it is still the case. Needless to say what happened to Michael Jackson, just talk about Whitt Nie Houston, if it wasn''t for her skin color, she would be compared to Madonna Siconi.


    On the other hand, the huge sales of the original soundtrack of "Bodyguard" forced the entire entertainment industry to re-evaluate Ryan¡¯s value. They all knew that he could create songs, but the songs he created were so good and sold so well that they exceeded all. Human expectations.


    "Ryan Jenkins''s talent and accomplishment in music are not inferior to other aspects at all, and even better. Think about the song "he", which is still in the top ten on the billboard, and the champion. "I.will.always.love.you" and "I.have.nothing" in the fourth place!"


    The article comes from "Rolling Stone" magazine. They also interviewed other people. "Whitney Houston admitted in an interview that she accepted many suggestions from Ryan when she performed the song. She confessed that Ryan wrote ten songs. Songs, to her, are as brilliant and precious as the stars in the night sky!"


    Ryan¡¯s eight original songs, although not as amazing as the two plagiarized ones, are still good enough, and even two capitals have entered the billboard charts. In this way, the sales of the original soundtrack can be imagined.


    On Christmas Eve, the North American box office of "Bodyguard" passed the $100 million mark, and the original soundtrack sold more than 2 million copies, but Ryan knew that the sales of discs were just the beginning. In the past life, This album has set a sales record for female singers'' records.


    Jenkins Pictures also ushered in its first revenue since its establishment. After the first box office split, the company account has nearly 10 million dollars more. Compared with the box office number, it is very inconspicuous, but they only accounted for four points of the movie. One investment is six million US dollars, and the movie is still far from the next stage, and there will be overseas box office and various derivatives in the future.


    Ryan and Nicole also came to the company office in Burbank for the first time. This is an independent two-story building that adds up to 300 square feet. The official staff has expanded to nine people. The person is no longer Scott Swift, but hired a professional interpretation supervisor and producer from Australia, named Jules Stewart, who is a standard strong woman.


    Jinsli and Scott waited in the office early, and the two of them chatted for a while with some emotion, when did the movie become a profiteering industry? The investment made half a year ago has almost doubled. With the release of "Bodyguard" in overseas regions, the profits may more than double.


    Now even Scott is considered to be an insider. They naturally know where there is such a high profit in the movie. Otherwise, those arms dealers will promote the army to change their clothes and do what they can do directly to make the movie.


    This situation will happen now, all because of the boy who just walked in, he is like being kissed by God, and he is always able to create works that continue to sell well.


    "Hi, Ryan, and Nicole."


    The four of them didn''t have any politeness to talk about. They simply greeted them and talked about some things about the company.


    Ryan is a layman to these, unless it is related to movies, he would not speak easily. Fortunately, Nicole knew his flaws and used his spare time to learn a lot of financial knowledge. After all, some things are not wrong.


    Ryan has not yet reached adulthood. According to the law, he cannot directly hold shares in the company. As a guardian, Nicole Kidman has become the custodian. She naturally wants to take good care of the family business for him.


    "Nicole, there is an invitation from you!" Jinsili handed over a simple script.


    "What crew?" Ryan was very curious. Under Nicole''s gaze, he took the script and flipped through a few pages. The veins jumped on his forehead, "Instinct?"


    ...Please collect~please recommend~Thank you half rookie, blue windrunner, Zhao Yangxin, FLYFISH333, simple 5200, fear of beauty, 2b youth and other book friends for their rewards~

 Chapter 81： Charity invitation

    Ryan remembers very clearly that the previous life "Instinct" was released in early 1992, and it is now at the end of 1991, and it hasn''t turned on yet. What is this? Could it be that the little wings of your own butterfly are getting stronger and stronger?


    The script handed over by Jinsli is just a few fragments. There are probably more than a dozen scenes, including the passionate drama of the heroine Catherine.


    He looked at Nicole Kidman. The Australian girl was sitting next to him, rolling her eyes helplessly. For Ryan, she really didn¡¯t have a good way. Discipline it, reluctant, no matter what, he is becoming more and more lawless. .


    Handing over the script, Ryan didn¡¯t say much. He knew that Nicole had her own pride and judgment. Although the deep friendship between the two would give her special attention to his suggestions, Ryan didn¡¯t want to be in the face. Too much intervention, after all, sometimes contradictions are accumulated bit by bit.


    Besides, even if she really wants to take over the script, he still has a way to destroy it secretly.


    Nicole watched the first few paragraphs, and she showed a bit of interest. The setting of the heroine in the script did have its own uniqueness, but after seeing it, her brows wrinkled. Obviously, this drama Need to be completely nude.


    This is not the time in the previous life. In order to get rid of the image of Mrs. Cruise, Nicole Kidman dared to accept no matter how bold the literary film was. Now she is a first-line actress, known for her acting and beauty. There is no need to use this The way to win the spot to attract attention, not to mention, if she really played this role, what would Ryan think?


    Others don''t know, she doesn''t know yet, Ryan has a natural aversion to the **** in the movie.


    Little thought, Nicole closed the thin script and handed it back to Jinsli, "Push it, Pat."


    Ryan laughed. Although he liked Nicole Kidman in the past life and couldn''t get rid of the glamorous movies she starred in, she is his closest person in this life, and he doesn''t want her to walk the same way in the past life.


    Even if you want to show it, you can only show it to... Ryan squeezed his leg hard and stopped thinking about it.


    The next thing is about Ryan. Faced with all kinds of invitations, he didn''t even think about it, so he said, "Tweet it all, I''m very short of time."


    These are either inexplicable advertisements or film crews that have never been heard of before. There is also a B-rated film. The corners of his mouth are shaking when he watched it. Is the entire investment in the film enough for him to pay for it alone?


    "And this!" Jinsili handed over two very formal invitations.


    "This is..." Ryan hesitated, but took it, and gave it to Nicole Kidman, who was her idol.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    On the night of Christmas Day, the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel was brightly lit. Thousands of people and hundreds of reporters gathered at the door of the hotel. The long security team pulled out hundreds of meters. Far away, the guards at the entrance of the hotel have tripled their manpower, and each of them looks solemn, as if they are facing an enemy.


    Even at the Oscars awards ceremony, it¡¯s just that, even if George H. Bush comes, it¡¯s impossible to get such treatment.


    Even if there are British staff who are trying to persuade them, they cannot let them relax.


    The people at the entrance of the hotel, holding the same portrait, shouting the same name, to show respect for the person in the portrait.


    "It''s so good to see the king, the kid is difficult!" Ryan whispered in Chinese, but Nicole gently chimed his head with a violent shudder.


    He hurriedly straightened his bow tie, and when he walked through the mirror in the lobby, he glanced at his clothes, a matching black dress, black leather shoes, and a black bow tie. If he had another civilization stick in his hand, he would be a standard British gentleman.


    Under the leadership of the waiter, when he walked into the entrance of the grand banquet hall, Ryan saw the center point of the audience at first sight. It was a woman with delicate makeup, fair skin, deep face, blonde hair and blue eyes, tall and western. Standard beauties in the eyes of people.


    But in Ryan''s view, she is a bit rough and not refined enough, but there is no denying that she has outstanding temperament, plus a title, looks noble and beautiful.


    Ryan could feel Nicole¡¯s eyes shining, and couldn¡¯t help but shook his head slightly. He was an avid fan in his previous life, but when he saw her and Natalie, apart from a small surprise, he didn¡¯t seem out of style. Seeing Nicole''s performance now, I had to gently pull down her hand and came to the woman.


    "May God bless you, Your Highness!" Ryan just leaned slightly. He is not an Englishman, so of course he would not curtsey.


    Nicole originally planned to curtsey, but was pulled by him without leaving a trace, and she could only owe her body, but her eyes drifted coldly from Ryan.


    "You are welcome." The woman behaved elegantly, with a noble temperament between her smiles and smiles. "Hello, Miss Kidman and Mr. Jenkins."


    "His Royal Highness, just call me Nicole, as well as him." Nicole looked at Ryan, "You can call him Ryan."


    "Nicole, you are so beautiful." After exchanging a few words with Nicole, she looked at Ryan again, "I have long heard that there is a super genius in Hollywood, Ryan, your work is William and Harry''s favorite. "


    "That''s my honor, Your Highness." Ryan had to owe again, a little helpless.


    "Don''t be so polite, this is not Britain." Princess Diana sighed, her eyes darkened, and she returned to normal again, "Thank you for coming."


    "This is as it should be. Children with leukemia need the care of everyone in society." It was Nicole who was talking, and Ryan rolled his eyes.


    Diana came to Los Angeles as a private person to convene this charity banquet to raise funds for the leukemia organization under her name. With her status and appeal, she easily gathered a large number of wealthy and celebrities.


    "Noble, elegant, and beautiful, she is simply the incarnation of an angel." After arriving in her seat, Nicole still sighed.


    "Noble and elegant, I admit, as for beauty..." Ryan lowered his voice and leaned to her ear, "Seriously, Nicole, you are actually much more beautiful than her."


    "Ryan, pay attention to your manners." Nicole pushed him back and gave him another stern look.


    Ryan shook his head and looked at His Royal Highness surrounded by stars. He was a little bit emotional. In his previous life, he would not believe that he would be killed when he was killed. He would have the day to see her in real life.


    Calculating the time, there should be an irreconcilable contradiction between her and the British royal family, and she will soon be officially separated from Charles, and then this English rose will run for charity, and finally wither in Paris.


    In the previous life, the evaluation of her has always been two extremes. People who like her can''t wait to hold her up to the sky. People who don''t like her say that she is a surly and deliberate woman, but it is undeniable that she It has been recognized by the vast majority of people in the world.


    Just like most celebrities, her private life is very, very bad. As for who she and Charles cheated first, I am afraid that only the person involved will know. Moreover, her vision is really not so good. Especially the present lover, she will soon betray her, and the Princess of Wales'' reputation will be discredited.


    The story of the prince and the princess is only a fairy tale after all. Diana is not a Cinderella who married into a wealthy family. She has a prominent family background. Her father is Earl Spencer, a veteran nobleman in Scotland.


    She is worthy of everyone¡¯s affirmation. She keeps running for charity. Perhaps there are some elements of show, but she walks through the minefields, kisses children with AIDS, and travels to Africa several times. It is indeed better than most people in the world. .


    What''s more, no one is perfect. Everyone has a bright side before and a dark side behind.


    This is indeed a respectable person. Her death caused countless people to sigh, and made countless people rich. Until Ryan was born again, there were still arguing about the cause of her death, whether it was a car accident? Or the hands of the British royal family? Or was it the order of Freemasonry?


    Ryan has seen many major events, and they haven¡¯t changed because of his appearance. Presumably, this event will still happen, but he doesn¡¯t plan to do anything. Politics is the darkest and dirtiest thing in the world. He doesn¡¯t want to. Involved in it, neither MI6 nor the British Air Force Special Commando can provoke him.


    Besides, in case the rumors are true, behind the conspiracy stands a super giant¡ªPrince Philip.


    "Ryan! Ryan!" Nicole saw Ryan''s eyes straighten, knowing he was distracted, and gently pinched his ear.


    "Ah~" Ryan smiled and said, "Sorry, I''m lost."


    The charity party is like the premiere of a movie. The content is similar. After Diana said a few words, several singers sang, and then... it was an auction.


    To participate in this kind of banquet, naturally you have to plan to disperse your wealth. Ryan and Nicole donated some belongings casually and bought them back with money, even if they have completed today''s task.


    I just didn''t expect that Diana wandered between the seats and came over when expressing gratitude , and the target was him.


    "Ryan, I am going to a medical institution to visit some children with leukemia tomorrow, can I invite you to go with me?" Her smile was irresistible.


    "This is my honor, Your Highness."


    Can he refuse the invitation sent under this situation? However, he was still a little curious, why did the other party choose him, "His Royal Highness, why am I?"


    Although he has a lot of fame, he doesn''t think he can make the Princess of Wales hand in hand. There are not ten or eight stars who are more important than him.


    "No one is more suitable than you." Diana explained a little bit, "Who else would be more popular with children than the author of the Harry Potter and Ryan Storybook?"


    In the car back, Nicole looked envious. If she was asked to pay a million dollars for this opportunity, the Australian girl would never hesitate.


    It''s just that Ryan scratched his head for charity? He was really not good at it. In his previous life, he was the object of charity, but after winning the Oscar statuette, for the sake of fame, he just asked Jinsli to donate money, personally practiced, and never had it.


    He looked at Nicole next to him again. She was staring at the little gift that the princess gave back, and she deliberately sighed, "The noble princess may not be happy!"


    ¡­There is one more after zero o¡¯clock~~ Thank you for your support, please recommend~ Please collect¡­ Regarding the cheating girl, it is just to find a producer for the company. There are too few producers who have impressions, so I can¡¯t find it. Anne Hurd or Catherine Kennedy... We are sloppy people, and we don¡¯t have a lot of women.

 Chapter 82： Medical hospital

    Sitting in a black Bentley car, Ryan was a little bit awkward. Although he had seen a lot of big people in his life, he was still a little bit nervous when he was driving with the Princess of Wales in the same car.


    The motorcade left Los Angeles and headed all the way to Orange County. The motorcade on their trip, including the bodyguard''s vehicle, was no more than five vehicles, but the media fleet that followed had no 50 vehicles but 40 vehicles.


    "You look a little nervous, Ryan." Diana smiled and looked over. "Or do you think I am a tiger or a lion?"


    "Because it''s the first time I''m sitting next to an angel, Your Highness." He replied politely.


    "Angel? You can really talk." Diana smiled brighter, being so praised by a child, whoever would be happy after changing, "Ryan, this is not England, you can call me Diana."


    "No, no, Your Highness." Ryan''s head shook like a rattle. "I lived in London for two years and learned English etiquette. It would be rude to do that."


    From the bottom of my heart, Ryan doesn¡¯t want to get involved with politicians too much. Diana will be a big trouble in the future.


    When Ryan talked about London, Diana remembered Harry Potter and the report in the newspaper, and asked, "I remember reading it in the newspaper. The residence of you and Nicole in London is near Kensington Palace. When you return to London, you are welcome to visit Kensington Palace. I can introduce William and Harry to know you. They are your book fans."


    "Definitely." Even in the car, Ryan maintained his proper etiquette.


    The convoy arrived at the destination quickly. This is a medical research institution on leukemia. It was funded by Diana¡¯s charity foundation and admitted many children with leukemia. The fundraiser last night and today¡¯s visit were just for these illnesses. Children.


    Except for a few large media vehicles, the other cars that followed were all stopped outside the hospital. After the bodyguards pulled the car door, Ryan and Diana in formal suits got out of the car.


    The person in charge of the medical institution, with a few assistants, was waiting outside the car. At this moment, he owed his body slightly, "Welcome, Your Highness."


    This is North America, which pays attention to practical results. It doesn¡¯t make much effort to welcome the delivery. In fact, except for the person in charge, Mr. Hansen and his assistants, everyone else is busy with their own work. In their eyes, even if the arrival is noble. Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Wales, is not more important than saving the dead.


    "Hanson, you have worked hard, take us to see the children." Diana said.


    Following the brigade, Ryan walked all the way and found that the environment and facilities here are all top-notch. Listening to the conversation between Diana and Dr. Hansen, he gradually learned that almost all of the expenses of the medical hospital are Anna''s foundation was in charge, she couldn''t help sighing slightly.


    The money needed to maintain such a medical institution is a lot of money. He knows that there are several such institutions under Diana''s name in Europe and Africa. Whether she is on a show or not, it does help many people who are in urgent need of help. people.


    "Please keep quiet and don''t disturb them to rest, okay?" After entering the ward area, Diana whispered to the rear.


    Naturally the paparazzi who can be invited by her will not be the paparazzi. Those reporters nodded quickly. After Diana smiled slightly, she took the lead outside a ward, and Ryan quickly followed.


    "His name is Mikel. When I came last time, his condition was not very good. He has not been able to find a matching bone marrow." Hearing Diana''s slightly sighing words, Ryan looked towards him through the glass wall. In the hospital bed, it was a white boy about ten years old, skinny, without a single hair on his head, frowned, and seemed to fall asleep.


    At this moment, Ryan''s heart really softened a lot.


    The group quickly left the critically ill area and came to a large children''s room. Many sick children, under the strict supervision of nurses, would play here for a period of time every day.


    I have to say that Diana''s affinity is innate. Compared with Ryan, those children are more willing to circle around her, even if they heard that Ryan is the author of Harry Potter, the situation remains the same.


    The physical condition of these children did not allow them to move for a long time. Diana joked with them in a low voice and then walked over. Ryan greeted George to come forward and distribute the gifts he brought, not much. Valuable stuff, a hardcover version of the first three episodes of Harry Potter.


    "It''s all lovely children." Diana sighed.


    "The situation will get better, Your Highness." There were only two of them here, and Ryan had to take the conversation.


    "Bone marrow is difficult to match, you know, Ryan, it is very rare to have one out of 10 children healed, we..." Diana sighed slightly, seemingly sad, "We can only watch As they leave this world, we can do nothing but free treatment."


    Ryan sighed softly. At the very beginning of his past and present life, he was living at the bottom of society. In terms of feelings, he was far more emotional than Diana, but he understood that the world was so helpless.


    At this time, a child ran out of the crowd. His hair was thinner, his body was a little stronger than the other children, and his expression was a little shy.


    "You are Ryan Jenkins, aren''t you?" The little boy looked at him timidly.


    "Yes." Ryan bent his body slightly, he was slightly taller than the opponent, and asked softly, "What about you, what''s your name?"


    "Jeremy."


    "Then how long have you lived here?" Ryan continued to ask.


    "It''s been more than half a year..." The little boy was in a deep mood, then looked at Ryan, seeming to be a lot brave, "I like Harry Potter very much, everyone here likes it, I want to ask, when will there be the fourth episode? ?"


    "It''s an honor that you guys will like my work." Ryan patted his arm lightly. To be honest, he grew up in a cold environment for both lifetimes. His heart is far harder than he thought. Shi was also a little embarrassed, after all, this is the most basic human emotion.


    "Soon, I promise you will see it as soon as possible."


    Under the care of the nurses, these children returned to their respective wards. Diana discussed with Dr. Hansen how to improve the situation of these children. It was only from the low speech and gloomy expressions of the two that we could see the difference. It''s not just a problem that money can solve.


    "George." Ryan called the bodyguard and assistant over, "Remember to remind me that when the sample book of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" arrives, send it here first."


    The group did not stay for too long. After all, this is a medical institution, not a show, like the kind of scenes that hold sick children pretending to be intimate and let the news media take special shots, whether it is Diana or Ryan. Disdain it.


    Even if one of them is a political figure and the other is an entertainer, they are not like some people who have no moral bottom line in order to make a show.


    "Why are there so many sad things in the world?" After getting in the car, Diana sighed, not knowing whether it was for the children or thinking of herself.


    "Your Majesty, you have tried your best. As long as you stick to it, you can always help those in need." Ryan didn''t know what to say, "Just arouse the attention of the society."


    "Yes, I will definitely stick to it." Diana smiled slightly at Ryan.


    Including him, the vast majority of people in this world revolve around interests, but it is undeniable that some people do possess certain qualities. Even if she is very unbearable on the other side, she cannot hide her shining points. This is probably That is why after she passed away, millions of people spontaneously saw her off.


    Perhaps what he saw today really touched his heart. After thinking about it, Ryan said firmly, "Your Majesty, after the New Year, I will release my second single. There will always be some sales. I want to release the single Can be donated to your foundation, is it okay?"


    "Really? I want to say thank you, Ryan." Diana laughed.


    That''s all he can do, what? Donate all the income from the second chapter album? Sorry, he never thought about it.


    The motorcade returned to the hotel where the Princess was staying. After a polite farewell, Ryan strode out of the hotel. Before he could react, the reporters and paparazzi gathered outside surrounded him.


    There is no doubt that this trip with Diana has once again made Ryan the focus of media attention.


    "Ryan, why did the princess invite you?"


    "Excuse me, UU reading Jenkins, have you known the princess for a long time? I heard that you lived near Kensington Palace for two years in London. Did you know the princess at that time? "


    "Ryan, it is said that you have reached an agreement with Universal Pictures? Can you tell me the specifics? Someone revealed that you have completed the first draft of the script. Is it true? Is the production of Jurassic Park going to begin? Prepared?"


    "Sorry." Under the protection of George and the hotel doorman, Ryan walked towards the car. He was not interested in answering any questions.


    Where can these guys give up easily, and one of them yelled, "Ryan, it is said that the princess''s lover came to Los Angeles with him. Have you ever seen it?"


    Ryan frowned. In order to get eye-catching news, these guys don¡¯t care what others think. Even if Diana¡¯s private life is really not so glamorous, they can¡¯t look away a little bit?


    If possible, Ryan believed that they would definitely dare to get under Diana''s bed to take a sneak shot, even if there were bodyguards with live ammunition around that room.


    Sitting in the Audi car, Ryan rubbed his forehead. In fact, he knew very well that it is not yet the craziest time for these guys. After a few years, with the rise of the Internet, the era of national entertainment is bound to come. At that time, They will become a group of true lunatics.


    Although Ryan is not a good person to ask himself, he only cares about a few people, but he is more noble than these guys.


    ...A new week, please support~~Please ask for recommendation tickets and collection~The last day of the holiday, three shifts~

 Chapter 83： Adaptation rights

    As early as December, Hollywood Records announced that the first solo album of super genius Ryan Jenkins will be officially released after the New Year, which has attracted widespread attention. "He" is naturally the first album of the album. Single, and on January 1, 1992, the second single "I.Believe.I.can.fly" will begin to promote and hit the charts.


    Ryan has also been cooperating with the record company''s publicity plan. When everyone''s focus on him was on music, he had to devote most of his energy to the film business.


    Since a few months ago, Jinsli has had a see-saw negotiation with Universal Pictures, and the object is naturally the film adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park."


    The negotiation process is very unsuccessful. Ryan has a big appetite. He wants to cut a big piece from this super big cake and stuff it into his pocket.


    Universal Pictures are not fools either. They plan to follow Disney''s approach to "The Lion King", with multiple identities such as the original author and screenwriter, and enjoy the movie''s box office and subsequent peripheral share.


    If he is willing to invest less than US$10 million, they also welcome with their hands. Why not do this kind of thing that gives up a portion of the income and can get closer to the relationship between the two parties?


    Unexpectedly, the other party''s appetite was far greater than they thought, and they even threw out a co-production and sharing agreement.


    Universal Pictures could tolerate their participation in investment, but it was unacceptable to divide nearly half of the cake from the expected income, and the negotiations broke down in the end.


    With absolute initiative, Ryan is not in a hurry. Although he prefers to cooperate with Universal Pictures, he does not mind cooperating with other large film companies. After all, the copyright of "Jurassic Park" is 100% in his own hands. , As long as he doesn''t nod his head, no one can do it.


    Of course, he has not given up the opportunity to cooperate with Universal Pictures for the time being. In his opinion, Universal Pictures will eventually make concessions.


    As the second oldest company among the seven major film companies, Universal Pictures has not been doing well in recent years. It has not launched strong works for several years. If it does not start self-help, it will degenerate into MGM and Sony Columbia Pictures.


    You know, apart from the huge film library of MGM and Sony Pictures, the former has been eating the 007 series, and after the latter was acquired by the Japanese, they have not yet figured out how to play in the American entertainment market. Tuition.


    Universal Pictures¡¯ turnaround in the previous life was "Jurassic Park" and "Schindler''s List". The former got nearly $1 billion in global box office, and various surrounding fires were in a mess, while the latter produced huge In response, he became a big winner of the Oscar.


    The person who ordered the termination of the negotiation was the owner of Universal Pictures, Sean Schieenberg, the president of American Music. He was very dissatisfied and wanted to use this method to tell the Mao boy who has the initiative in this negotiation.


    However, Ryan Jenkins is not the boy he was a year ago, nor is he the child star that Tom Cruise can question in public casually. With this year¡¯s "Night in Seattle" and "The Terminator" 2" The successive sales of "Bodyguard" gradually established his position in Hollywood in this circle. In the eyes of various film companies, his works are the guarantee of the box office.


    "If the news is released, we can only sell a good price after multiple competitions." After the negotiation broke down, Ryan once said to Jinsli.


    So, on the day the negotiations broke down, the news spread, and the movie circle suddenly boiled over. They were shocked that Universal Pictures was walking in front of the entire Hollywood and even aimed at "Jurassic Park."


    This is a book that has been on the bestseller list in the United States for more than 40 weeks. According to the news released by the "Alien" Publishing House, this book has sold more than 20 million copies. In the United Kingdom and the United States...no, There are many book fans all over the world. If it is adapted into a movie, as long as it is not made into something that is unknown, there is no need to consider profit at all. The only thing to consider is how much money can be made.


    Ryan Jenkins and Universal Pictures were so unreliable, they were negotiating secretly, and finally they broke up. That''s great.


    Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, Paramount, and Twentieth Century Fox contacted Kingsley on the same day. Producers such as Tim Burton and Jack Bruckheimer also did not do anything. For a time, the entire movie circle was upset. There was a lot of uproar, and soon, there was news that the media would adapt "Jurassic Park" into a movie and stabbed it out.


    Strictly speaking, this book was changed by Ryan to a young book. To be precise, it is a book for all ages. Unlike the previous life, the book became the best-selling book champion since it went on the market in 1986. With the increase in Ryan''s reputation, sales continued to increase, and a large number of book fans were cultivated.


    After hearing the news, they were delighted. What could be more enviable than seeing their favorite dinosaur on the big screen?


    "We have been looking forward to this day, Ryan will finally put his most important work on the big screen, yes! We are very excited, we love "Jurassic Park"!"


    This is a book fan club of Ryan. He bought a small page in the newspaper and made his own voice, hoping to support his idol in this way.


    Of course, there are also some concerns. An older book fan, in a street survey by the Los Angeles Times, said worriedly, ¡°I also hope to see the movie version of Jurassic Park one day soon, especially It¡¯s the huge Tyrannosaurus rex. I¡¯m a little worried. The current film technology can¡¯t make dinosaurs come to life. That would be too bad and it¡¯s a disaster."


    The Los Angeles Times simply set up a questionnaire about whether you want to see the movie version of "Jurassic Park". The questionnaire received nearly 20,000 copies, and more than 90% of the people supported moving the book. On the big screen.


    Ryan has limited knowledge of the past life of "Jurassic Park", but in this life, even the film adaptation rights have not been sold, it has been hot and attracted a lot of attention.


    In fact, everyone is optimistic about the adaptation of this book. What''s more, Ryan Jenkins will write the script himself, and the only concern is the post-production technology of the film.


    Now in Hollywood, who has the most advanced film special effects technology? Of course, it was Industrial Light and Magic. It didn¡¯t take long for a reporter to find George Lucas. After hearing the other party¡¯s question, the old man did not hesitate and said with a vow, "With the technology of Industrial Light and Magic, it is completely possible to produce Lifelike dinosaurs."


    The old man dare to say that, he must be sure in his heart. Coupled with the special effects technology shown in "Terminator 2", the confidence of various film companies has greatly increased, and Jinsli and her team have been annoyed by telephone calls.


    Especially Warner and Disney, which have worked with Ryan, are more active. Gerald and Carter Eisner visited them separately and let Ryan give priority to them.


    Ryan is also not good at rejecting directly, and only gives one condition, "The director of this film must be Steven Spielberg, this is a prerequisite for negotiation!"


    The news spread out without knowing how it was. Now, the hatred is successfully transferred. Jewish directors have become the top priority of the public relations of major companies.


    A person who joined Universal Pictures earlier than his previous life played an important role at this time. Ron Meyer rejected all the opposition and persuaded Sean Schieenberg to restart the negotiations with Kingsley. Taking advantage of years of cooperation, Spielberg was invited to Universal Studios.


    How Universal Pictures persuaded Spielberg, not many people are clear for the time being. Ryan heard Kinsley say that when Spielberg left Universal Studios, his face was very ugly, and in the ensuing negotiations, he has been tense. Face.


    Soon, the latest news spread. Universal Pictures will invest 30 million US dollars to film "Schindler''s List", and Steven Spielberg will be the director of this film.


    When things have developed to this point, Ryan doesn¡¯t need to inquire, and knows that those things in the previous life have happened. The honeymoon period between Universal Pictures and Spielberg is over. It will not be long before Hollywood will have a sudden change. Quasi-giant¡ªDreamWorks!


    What is negotiation? To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than asking for a price and paying it back on the spot.


    Ryan also knew that the conditions he offered were indeed a bit harsh, and he took the initiative to make concessions. The next negotiations can only be described as rapid. The two sides reached an agreement and signed the contract when it entered December.


    Regarding the film adaptation and investment of "Jurassic Park", UU Kanshu , Jenkins Pictures and Universal Pictures, respectively invested 20 million and 45 million U.S. dollars as preliminary budgets, excluding future release and publicity intercepted by Universal Pictures. In addition to the cost, copyright and future income will be divided in proportion to the investment.


    Ryan has reduced the investment ratio. After all, the manufacturing and sales of peripheral products are completely smeared on his side, and many places rely on Universal Pictures channels.


    As for him, apart from the income of Jenkins Pictures, he can also get 5 million U.S. dollars and 3% of the North American box office share as adaptation rights and screenwriter income.


    This is a good deal, both for Universal Pictures and for other parties.


    The cake sharing agreement was officially reached, and Ryan ushered in a busy life. He temporarily threw aside the unfinished "Killer Leon". After entering December, he began to rush to draft, and strive to release the "Killer Leon" before the new year. The first draft of the script for Jurassic Park was written.


    He simply extended his vacation and planned to return to school after Christmas. Apart from the occasional attention to the box office of "Bodyguard", he devoted most of his energy to the compilation of the script.


    Fortunately, there is always a clear film comparison in my head, and I wrote about Ryan Jenkins''s version of "Jurassic Park". I wrote it again, and it went a lot smoother.


    Finally, before going to Diana¡¯s charity dinner, Ryan wrote the first draft of the script, and there are dozens of sketches of dinosaurs, all of which are classic images in previous movies.

 Chapter 84： Universal Studios

    This is the last day of 1991. The black Audi car is driving fast towards Universal Studios. Ryan is sitting in the back seat, slightly tired between his eyebrows. Nicole gently rubs his forehead for him, with distress on his face. The color is unusually obvious.


    The script of "Jurassic Park" was handed over to Universal Pictures and Spielberg after Christmas. In the past few days, the three parties have called dozens of times and exchanged views on the script.


    The script naturally no longer starts from the perspective of a little boy, and the hero and heroine are restored to Dr. Grant and Dr. Setler.


    Because Ryan uses the director''s cut version of his previous life, Spielberg is generally satisfied after making a few comments.


    Although there have been many conflicts between the two parties, Universal Pictures has granted Spielberg the greatest authority for the success of the film. Not only did he hire his best partner, Catherine Kennedy, as the production manager, he was also choosing actors. Followed his advice.


    Spielberg also showed super high efficiency. It took only a few days to determine the first major actor. To Ryan''s expectation, it turned out to be Nicole Kidman, who played the role of Elle. Dr. Setler, because this is related to Ryan''s work, Nicole agreed without even thinking about it.


    Frankly speaking, Ryan doesn¡¯t want Nicole to accept this film contract. Whether it¡¯s the male or female protagonist, he has to stand aside in the movie. There is only one protagonist in "Jurassic Park", the fierce Tyrannosaurus Rex. , And counting further, it will be the Velociraptor, and then the actor''s turn.


    However, since Nicole has made the decision, he has no intention of interfering. Besides, this movie can add to her a fairly glorious resume.


    Maybe it''s getting used to it, or maybe it''s missing the warmth of childhood. Unknowingly, Ryan got into Nicole''s arms. The Australian girl frowned, but didn''t say anything, still rubbing her forehead for him.


    "Ryan, you should give me a raise." Jinsli sat in the co-pilot, obviously tired.


    "Well, Pat, an increase of one hundred dollars a month, am I very generous?" Ryan put on a bleeding face.


    Pie Kingsley smiled brightly. Her request for a salary increase was naturally a joke. As a member of the 10% queue, even if there are only two people in her name, who doesn¡¯t know, she is already a Hollywood income. One of the highest brokers.


    "Thank you, Pat, you can go on vacation after the New Year."


    Ryan knows very well that in the past six months, Jinsli has not rested much. It is said that she parted ways with her dated boyfriend because she was too busy at work.


    Her abilities are really hard to say. In September, she flew to Taiwan in person, borrowed from Warner¡¯s relationship there, and successfully won the film adaptation rights of Wang Dulu¡¯s novel, and then went to North America with the whole team. The novels in the public relations list of Ryan won the right to adapt many of them, especially the ones designated by Ryan.


    Needless to say, "Bourne''s Identity", "Interview with the Vampire" and "A Kind of Catch Me: The True Story of the Most Extraordinary Liar" Needless to say, she is still in contract while receiving the film adaptation rights of "Forrest Gump" Set a trap in the middle, you can kick the original author Winston Grum aside, adapted by Ryan alone.


    This is in line with Ryan¡¯s intentions. In the previous life, during the script writing process of "Forrest Gump", Winston Grum was always chirping, and he had to make the film into a political satire. Ryan could Don''t want to deal with him.


    The Audi car drove into the office area of ??Universal Studios. Under the guidance of Jinsli, Ryan and the others quickly came to a reception room. They arrived a little later. When they entered, Spielberg and George Lucas and Ron Mayer are discussing something.


    The preparation of the crew and the filming of the film were solely in charge of Katherine Kennedy and Spielberg, and the special effects production was handed over to Lucas¡¯ Industrial Light & Magic. The actor currently only finalized Nicole Kidman.


    "The protagonist in the movie is the dinosaur, and all the plots are based on them. Therefore, I only intercepted less than 20% of the content in the novel. What audiences want to see is not the origin of the dinosaurs and what the cloning technology is. They think It depends on the conflict between humans and these prehistoric behemoths.¡± It was Ryan who was speaking. He once again emphasized the main line of the script. You must know that when the movie was expanded into a novel, he added a lot of content. All the water is squeezed out.


    "I agree with Ryan." Spielberg closed the script, raised his eyes, and said, "If the effect of the dinosaurs cannot be achieved, no matter how brilliant the plot of this movie is, there is only one way to fail."


    George Lucas flipped through the set drafts, and suddenly said, "Ryan, the appearance of the Velociraptor seems to be different from the one restored by the archaeologists?"


    "Yes." Ryan nodded and stood up from his chair. "Actually, the Velociraptor is much smaller than the one in the draft. In order to increase the visual effect, I borrowed more from its appearance. Deinonychus."


    After a pause, he said, ¡°What the audience wants to see is a lifelike dinosaur. As for whether it conforms to scientific theory, no one cares. We are shooting science fiction movies, not popular science education movies.¡±


    "Well, I have no opinion." George Lucas thought for a while and said, "Stan Winston and Phil Tippe will be responsible for the electronic dinosaurs and the dynamic dinosaurs in the distant view, respectively. Industrial Light and Magic The latest movie special effects technology will be used in this film."


    "George, make a suggestion." Ryan squeezed his chin. "Although I drew a part of the draft, my knowledge of dinosaurs is limited after all. It is best to hire a paleontologist to oversee the design of dinosaurs. ."


    The rest of them nodded, after all, they were building prehistoric behemoths, not monsters like aliens.


    "At present, we are negotiating with several manufacturers. There will be several placements of advertisements in the film. If the negotiations are completed, the script may need minor revisions." Ron Meyer looked at Ryan.


    "I don''t have a problem." Ryan nodded, these are all minor details.


    The other two have no objection, advertising placement has long been a part of film culture.


    "The crew will make quick preparations for Kate. The selection of locations will start after the New Year. It is estimated that the preliminary preparations for the film will take 20-30 weeks." Obviously, Spielberg and Lucas have exchanged views and given a timetable. Also very nervous.


    His words seemed to have no meaning. After frowning, he still said, "Ron, I still hope to shoot Schindler''s list first. Part of my team has already gone to Krakow and made a lot of preliminary preparations. Twenty weeks of work is enough for me, and when it¡¯s finished, I can move on to filming in Jurassic Park."


    "Stephen..." Ron Meyer showed a look of embarrassment on his face. There were many people present. He wanted to save some face for the other party, and shook his head slightly.


    Ryan didn''t want to mix up these things at this stage. Seeing that the topic changed, he just found an excuse and walked out with Nicole and Jinsli.


    "I''ll go to the bathroom." Waved to the two of them, Ryan turned around and walked into the bathroom.


    Out of the men¡¯s bathroom, after washing his hands by the sink, Ryan bowed his head and flicked away a small piece of confetti on his clothes, and at the same time turned around to leave. Who knows what soft thing was hit with his head, and then heard a girl coming from the other side "Oh" exclaimed.


    "I''m sorry, I didn''t see you!" After all, it was his own fault, not to mention the feeling that he knew where he had hit someone''s house. Before looking up to see who the other party was, he said the apology.


    "Hey, it''s you!"


    "Do you know him?" another female voice asked.


    "Ryan Jenkins! Gwyne, don''t tell me you don''t know him."


    The talking girl has a baby face with a little baby fat, slightly taller than him. She looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, but she has a very hot body. As for the other one, although she has never seen it in her life, I have seen it countless times in previous lives.


    It''s just that Ryan would never think that he would run into Spielberg''s goddaughters when he hit him casually.


    "Hello, Miss Barrymore, and Miss Paltrow! If nothing happens, I''ll leave." Ryan doesn''t want to pester them, and the other one is okay. Drew''s reputation is really terrible.


    "Hey, I want to leave after hitting me in the chest. How can there be such a cheap thing, Gwyneth, help me stop him!" Drew stopped him in front of him.


    Ryan couldn''t help frowning, feeling like he was possessed by God, and was stopped by Lindsay Rohan and Paris Hilton. Now he was stopped by Drew Barrymore again. Could it be the depravity of Hollywood? Is the girl so destined to him?


    "Little handsome guy, he''s not bad in length. A little older can fascinate a girl." Drew smiled, and some frivolously stretched out a finger and pointed it towards his chin.


    "Miss Barrymore, please respect yourself!" Ryan warned faintly.


    "Well, Drew, don''t go too far!" Gwyneth Paltrow persuaded on the other side.


    "Gwynne, leave it alone, I have a sense of measure."


    Talking Drew Barrymore approached him aggressively. Ryan had no choice but to retreat slowly until he reached the side of the pool, and there was no way out.


    Drew Barrymore showed a somewhat evil and frivolous smile, "Little handsome guy, have you ever kissed, do you want to try?"


    said, the red lips were printed.


    Ryan didn¡¯t want to give the first kiss of this life to this coquettish girl. He stretched out a hand and pushed the baby face back without hesitation, but Drew seemed addicted to playing with one hand. On his chest, he slid down.


    Seeing that the hand was about to grab his vitals, Ryan cursed in a low voice, trying to push her away again, who knew that this guy grabbed his belt and touched the buckle skillfully.


    What''s the matter? Ryan was so angry that he was a man of two lives and had never been molested. In anxiousness, one hand grabbed Drew''s arm, and the other hand suddenly exerted force, subconsciously using the big back that George taught him. fall.


    "Wow" "Bang Dang"


    Drew Barrymore was thrown directly on the ground by the pool. Fortunately, Ryan didn''t exert too much effort, but even so, the painful opponent shed tears.


    "Ah~" Gwyneth Paltrow screamed.


    It didn''t matter what she said, and it completely broke the peace in the building. People in several nearby offices thought that something extraordinary had happened, and they rushed out one after another.


    ...Three shifts are on offer...Please recommend~Please collect~~Thank you for the rewards of Wuwen and Star Music

 Chapter 85： Suggest

    Nicole and Jinsli were chatting in the hallway, and they were about to leave after Ryan came back. Anyway, what should be discussed has already been discussed. The specific affairs will naturally be taken over by Julis Stewart, the head of Jenkins Pictures. .


    There are not too many secrets in this circle. Over time, the agreement or conflict between Universal Pictures and Spielberg gradually spread. They didn¡¯t want to get a foot in the middle. Originally, There was also some worry that Ryan was young and frivolous, and would say things that shouldn''t be said. Without expecting a slight change in the atmosphere in the reception room, he hurriedly pulled them away.


    Gwyneth''s scream broke the peace of the whole building. Nicole and Jinsli naturally heard clearly, and the sound came from the bathroom.


    "What happened?" Jinsli asked suspiciously.


    However, the object of her questioning had long since disappeared. Nicole stepped on her high heels and rushed to the corner. The crowd blocked her sight, and she could only hear the woman''s screams, and her heart suddenly became flustered. stand up.


    Could it be Ryan...


    Nicole Kidman didn''t dare to think about it anymore, forgot the demeanor of a big star long ago, pulled and pulled, and squeezed past the chaotic crowd abruptly.


    "Ryan! Ryan!" Nicole yelled with anxiety and worry.


    "I''m fine, Nicole!" Ryan could naturally hear the meaning of Nicole''s words and quickly answered.


    "Get out! Get out!" Nicole Kidman finally squeezed in, but what she saw made her mouth tremble, and her face gradually covered with a layer of frost.


    A girl with honeyed golden hair was covering her mouth so that she would stop screaming. Another girl with golden brown hair was lying on the ground, grinning in pain, and one of her arms was still covered. Ryan held it in his hand.


    Seeing this scene, Nicole naturally understood what was going on. After all, when George and Ryan were exercising, she didn''t miss it. It was obvious that the girl was thrown to the ground by Ryan.


    "Ryan Jenkins, how good are you? Have you learned how to deal with girls?" Nicole was so angry that there were a total of twenty or thirty people gathered at the scene, and the news would spread without waiting until tomorrow.


    "This...that..." Ryan quickly let go of his hand. He was just a subconscious action. He didn''t expect things to develop into this way. "Nicole...I, just an intentional reaction."


    "Hurry up and help people up." Nicole took a look. The girl shouldn''t be hurt.


    Ryan quickly helped Drew up, and said embarrassingly, "Sorry, Miss Barrymore, my reaction was a little too extreme."


    Drew Barrymore rubbed his **** and gave him a fierce look. Ron Meyer walked over at this moment, and the noise outside obviously shocked him.


    "Ryan, and... Drew, go to my office and talk about it." His eyes swept around, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed immediately.


    Gwyneth helped Drew, Nicole stared at Ryan, led by Ron Mayer, walked into his office.


    "Ryan Jenkins..."


    Nicole¡¯s gaze was like a knife. Ryan knew that when she called her full name, her anger must be full. She didn¡¯t want to sit with her and suffer, and it was not easy to squeeze with the two girls, so she simply sat Ron. On the chair opposite Meyer''s desk.


    "Let''s talk about it, what''s the matter?" Nicole asked Drew Barrymore first to confirm that she was not injured, and then looked over.


    Ryan scratched his head, his thoughts in the previous life were haunted, and some words were really embarrassing to say. Could you tell Nicole because Drew was harassing him?


    "Ryan, you are amazing! It took just such a short time to make the entire Global Building troublesome." Nicole scolded him infrequently.


    "Let me talk about it." Seeing Drew didn''t speak, Gwyneth stood up and told the whole story roughly, which was fair.


    Drew Barrymore is nothing, Ryan''s old face is a little bit unbearable, what is this, he was molested by someone, really...


    "Ryan, you are getting more and more lawless, and you have learned to beat women!" Nicole''s face was equally wonderful, "Go and apologize to Drew."


    Ryan is also a bachelor, and I regret it a little bit. In any case, it is not a glorious thing to shoot a girl like this. I have been seen by so many people, and I don''t know what rumors will come out afterwards.


    The most important thing is that if you don¡¯t look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, since these two women are here, they must be inseparable from Spielberg. They are all potential alliances. There is no need to get froze because of this kind of thing. .


    "I''m sorry, Drew, I shouldn''t do it."


    "Forget it, I have something wrong with this!" Drew seemed to be generous, but his eyes kept flashing.


    "Ryan, after returning home, he is not allowed to leave the room before the new year."


    Nicole issued a foot ban. Now it¡¯s someone else¡¯s turn to be wonderful. My heart said that even if it¡¯s partial, it¡¯s not so outrageous. Today is December 31st, alright!


    Ryan did not hear, and his attention was completely drawn away by a script on the desk. Although the script was placed in a far file box, he could still see the line of letters on the cover-"Schindler List!


    "Ryan..." Nicole was really on fire. She realized that she really spoiled him too much. Ryan made an apologetic gesture to her and walked over unconsciously. Fortunately, he remembered to ask the owner. Comments, "Mr. Meyer, is this the script? The script of Schindler''s List?"


    "Yes, this is the first draft given to us by Stephen." Ron Meyer sat on the sofa and nodded gently.


    "May I have a look?" he asked tentatively.


    "Of course." This script has been seen by many people in the circle, and Ron Meyer is also very happy.


    After taking the script, Ryan sat back in his chair and turned the script and browsed it regardless of other people. He read it very fast, but the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows became. The script actually only had a hundred pages, although The main line of the story is the same as in the previous life, but the content is reduced a lot. For example, the "liquidation" scene of the Jewish Quarter in Krakow only has a one-page plot.


    Also, I don¡¯t know which strange thing it is, but it is noted on the script that it is recommended to shoot the film in Polish and German in order to restore the original history.


    The most important thing is, where did the brightest colors in the film go?


    If it is filmed according to this script, "Schindler''s List" is no different from previous Holocaust movies. It will definitely be coldly received by the audience. Without enough audiences, it means that it cannot have a huge influence.


    Of course, this should only be the first draft or the second draft of the script. Spielberg may not be able to do anything with the script himself.


    "What''s the matter?" Spielberg''s voice came, bringing Ryan back from the script.


    When he looked up, Spielberg and Lucas didn''t know when they walked in. They were sitting next to Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow, talking.


    After listening to Gwyneth¡¯s recount, Spielberg¡¯s face was a bit uncontrollable. Over the past year or so, Drew finally got rid of the control of her greedy mother, his behavior gradually receded, and he gave up his drug addiction this time. Bringing them here together, I also wanted to pave the way for their future. It was a godfather''s duty, but I didn''t expect to make such a fuss.


    "I''m sorry, Stephen, I am responsible for this." Ryan had to speak again, anyway, beating a woman is not a decent thing.


    "It''s okay, Ryan, Drew..." Spielberg didn''t seem to know how to describe his goddaughter. He simply looked at Ryan and saw that the script he was turning over was not exactly the "Schindler''s List". "?


    Can he see clearly? This is Spielberg''s thoughts. Ryan Jenkins is indeed full of talent, but this heavy historical subject can be understood by his age?


    "Ryan, have you read the script? Do you have any thoughts?" Spielberg asked whether it was a ghost or a common problem of the older generation in Hollywood.


    Even though the other party spoke very politely, Ryan still keenly captured the hidden meaning.


    The older generation of Hollywood filmmakers have struggled for many years before they have their status today. They are always uncomfortable with the new generation who became famous overnight, and the conflict between him and Universal Pictures has more or less its own reasons. It is very polite for the other party to use such small questions to make things difficult for him in private.


    "Yes, I do have a lot of opinions." In Ryan''s eyes, this script is really not very good.


    "Huh?" Spielberg was taken aback for a moment, but who was he, and then said, "Can you tell me?"


    "Of course Ryan stood up and paced back and forth two steps, "Stephen, I don''t know what you think, but in my opinion, the position of this script is problematic. "


    Before Spielberg changed his face, he went on to say, "The position of the script is entirely from the perspective of the Jews. How is this different from the previous Holocaust movies? Even if it cannot be completely fair, it should be based on a relatively objective and Writing the script from an impartial perspective can attract more people¡¯s attention instead of disgust."


    Spielberg showed a thoughtful look and nodded slightly. In fact, he has considered this issue, and it is also the reason why he has not wanted to direct the film himself. He is a Jew, and it is not a normal difficulty to be relatively fair.


    "Also." Ryan talked freely. "The movie shows the massacre during World War II, but the content of Krakow''s liquidation in the script is too little, so there is no need to doubt. I have read many books that record that period of history. And information, know what happened in Europe and the Far East that year!"


    "Since it is a massacre, these scenes should be shown with cold lenses. It may sting many people''s nerves, but it can bring more shock and make the whole world aware of the tragedy that happened in Poland! The plot should be the most terrible one!"


    Ryan turned to the end of the script. There were suggestions from the screenwriter and Spielberg¡¯s own comments. He said, "Steven, looking at the comments on the script, you want black and white film to shoot, right?"


    ...This book will not abuse... Love, as for Drew, I just want to add a character who likes to make trouble and funny, that''s it... Today two changes, rob the collection and recommendation tickets, hand it in soon!

 Chapter 86： change plan

    "Schindler''s List" is adapted from the book "Schindler''s Ark". As early as 1983, Spielberg obtained the film adaptation rights. The dictator of the book Favorburn once asked him, " Please, when can I start shooting?"


    Spielberg¡¯s answer is, "It may take ten years."


    There have been countless changes in the past ten years. Spielberg has been hesitant until he heard about the Bosnian genocide and learned many theories that deny the Jewish Holocaust, and finally made up his mind.


    In order to enhance the sense of reality and describe the darkest era of the Jews, he just decided some time ago to adopt black and white photography. For this reason, he was strongly opposed by Universal Pictures.


    "Yes!" Spielberg nodded to Ryan, but his eyes were shining brightly. Although he knew a lot about the boy, he was more and more surprised by him.


    "And the most important point, don¡¯t you think Oscar Schindler¡¯s transformation in the script is too abrupt? Schindler seems to have been explosively purified and suddenly becomes a hero, which is incompatible with "Victory What is the difference between "The Great Escape"?"


    Listening to Ryan''s words, Spielberg also stood up, and solemnly walked to Ryan''s front. This boy with some Jewish characteristics, this boy who is about to turn twelve years old, is only shorter than him. A little boy!


    "Ryan, whether you admit it or not, you have Jewish characteristics in your body, even for this bloodline, tell me all your suggestions." Spielberg owed him.


    Everyone looked at Spielberg. Although he was a bit ridiculous, his pride would not make him easy to bow his head to others. What''s more, the object was only a boy who was about to be twelve years old.


    "Mr. Spielberg, this..."


    Deep in the soul, after all, it is an Eastern education. Ryan not only changed his official name, but also quickly moved aside.


    Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow looked at this incredible scene, a little stunned, a little confused, their godfather is standing at the top of Hollywood, unexpectedly...


    "Mr. Spielberg, okay...Steven." Ryan''s mouth trembled. He had done a lot of plagiarism in the past, only this time he was a little bit frustrated. Of course, it was just a little bit.


    "In the beginning, Schindler was just a poor businessman. He accepted Jews just to make more money. The tragedy that happened later made him slowly change his direction like a sympathizer, but it was just sympathy. ."


    Ryan remembered the movie he had watched more than ten times in his mind, and remembered the color, "A touch of red, a stinging red, the most vivid color in the movie! In the crazy Nazi SS and being driven out Among the Jews, a little girl in red went back and forth, looking for a refuge. This girl was the beginning of Schindler¡¯s transformation."


    "When the German army dug up the body of a slaughter and burned it due to unfavorable warfare, Schindler saw this girl again!"


    Ryan closed his eyes quietly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The girl appeared on the pile of corpses that was about to be burned. The red color was brighter than blood, which completely stung Schindler and also prompted He has completed a transformation."


    "Yes! Ryan, that''s it, you solved the biggest problem!" I don''t know when, Spielberg took out a small notebook and quickly recorded it. At this time, looking at the scribbles on the paper, Suddenly said, "Ryan, I would like to ask you to add to the script, okay?"


    "No, no." Ryan shook his finger quickly. Although he doesn''t mind the tabloid calling him a monster, he doesn''t want everyone to think of him as a monster. "Stephen, this is your movie. I can make some comments. , But you need to decide what to do."


    Spielberg didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, he looked at Ron Mayer, who was a little dazed. ¡°Ron, I¡¯m still the request. During the preparation of "Jurassic Park", let me finish "Schindler¡¯s I can give up all the compensation for the filming of "List"!"


    I remember that in previous lives, some people always said that Spielberg was an artist when he took up the camera, and he was a squatter businessman when he put the camera down. Now this scene makes Ryan feel a little bit. Frankly speaking, he said so much, but not for his body. Hell of Jewish blood.


    Forget it, since you have all intervened, then help others to the end and send the Buddha to the west. Ryan sighed, first smiled at Spielberg, then looked at Ron Mayer.


    "Mr. Meyer, I think Stephen will be able to finish the shooting of "Schindler''s List" within half a year. It should be enough that George and Kate are responsible for the early stage of "Jurassic Park"."


    Previous life Steven Spielberg only took more than 70 days to complete the filming. The most troublesome aspect of this film lies in the preliminary preparations. Since the other party is full of confidence, he must have done a lot of preliminary work.


    Nicole and Jinsli looked over in a puzzled way. They knew very well that Ryan rarely involved other people''s affairs. What happened today?


    "This..." Ron Meyer hesitated and finally spoke. "Mr. Schieenberg said that once Stephen has completed "Schindler''s List", it is difficult to focus on "Jurassic Park". "On, Ryan, and Nicole, you are also investors, and you should understand our difficulties."


    This reason is indeed very powerful, and it is very likely to happen. Ryan hesitated for a while. After all, the 20 million US dollar investment is already a huge sum of money for them.


    "Let¡¯s do it." Spielberg seemed to have made up his mind. "We can sign a contract to complete the location shooting of "Schindler¡¯s List". I will go all out to produce "Jurassic Park" before it is completed. , "Schindler''s List" post work has been pushed back infinitely."


    It seems that Spielberg can¡¯t wait any longer, probably because he just got involved in the relationship. He is more urgent than the rumors in the previous life. Ryan can also understand this feeling. If you change yourself, wait ten. Nian''s wish is about to come true, I am afraid it is not as good as him.


    It is definitely not a good thing for him to shoot "Jurassic Park" with this mentality. He muttered in his heart and quickly calculated that as long as he participated in it, the benefits of "Schindler''s List" can be imagined. Don''t forget that Hollywood has another name-Jewish Hollywood!


    In an instant, Ryan made up his mind, "Ron, let''s do this. If Stephen can''t complete the contract he said, Jenkins and I will give up all investment and income."


    "Ryan..."


    Spielberg doesn¡¯t know what to say, not to mention Jenkins Pictures, he alone can get tens of millions of dollars or more through "Jurassic Park".


    "This..." Ron Meyer was obviously moved.


    Ryan looked at Nicole and Jinsli, they hesitated, and then nodded slightly, then said, "We can also sign a contract."


    Ron Meyer is not in his heart. He can''t wait to draw up two contracts immediately, let them sign on them, and then Spielberg breaks the contract. That is wonderful for Universal Pictures and for him personally. .


    "Well, I need to call Mr. Schieenberg." Ron Meyer simply went to the secretary''s room.


    "Ryan, I really don''t know what to say." Spielberg did not expect that Ryan Jenkins, the original author of "Jurassic Park", would support him in this way.


    "Nothing, these are what we should do!"


    Hearing what he said, Nicole Kidman, who knows Ryan best, rolled his eyes without a trace. If Ryan did these things for her, it¡¯s not surprising at all, but for others...


    This kid doesn''t know what he is calculating! This is Nicole''s only thought.


    After a full half an hour, Ron Meyer walked back, with a relaxed and smile on his face, and said, "Stephen, I think this will be a pleasant cooperation. I will inform the department below. , Draw up a contract and cooperate with your work as soon as possible."


    Spielberg''s tight face finally relaxed. He didn''t seem to want to wait for a moment. He greeted Lucas and planned to leave.


    "Wait, Stephen." Ryan called to him, "You plan to shoot on-site in the concentration camp in Krakow, right?"


    "Yes." Spielberg stunned for a moment and explained, "Actually, I went to Poland for a field trip a long time ago. Also, Ryan keeps the phone open. I will contact you at any time. I think I''m going to gather my team."


    "No, Stephen, this is not appropriate!" Ryan simply stopped him and Lucas.


    "What''s the problem?"


    Ryan scratched his head. To be honest, these words would make people feel weird to say these words from his mouth, but if you don¡¯t say them, the National Jewish Association will do it in the future. Why not sell a favor now?


    "I have read some information about Krakow I know that whether it is a studio or other location, it is difficult to reproduce the situation of the year when it is set up. But, Stephen, have you ever thought about it? , How many people are sleeping there, please don¡¯t go to the concentration camp, please don¡¯t disturb the souls, let them rest?"


    The notebook that Spielberg was holding fell to the ground, his face was as serious and serious as he had never been before, as well as regretful. He has been preparing for almost ten years, and there hasn''t been a child who wants to be more perfect, if it weren''t for him. As a reminder, he was about to make a big mistake. Among those resting souls, there are members of his family!


    "Thank you, Ryan!" Spielberg turned around and shook his hand firmly.


    "This is what we should do." Ryan moved out this sentence again.


    "Yes, it should be done." Spielberg repeated in a low voice.


    Ryan''s face became serious, clenched his fists and said, "Yes! This is what we have to do. Although I don''t know my life experience, I know that we have the same blood and we all share common responsibilities. Put the Nazis, fascists, and Hitler on the pillar of shame forever!"


    "We want the tragedies that happened in Europe during World War II to be known to the whole world!" Then Ryan reached into Spielberg''s ear and whispered, "This is not just our responsibility, Stephen. , We should ask the National Jewish Association for help."


    Those characteristics of one''s own appearance have been destined to choose the queue, then maximize the benefits! Ryan thought so when he went out to dine with the others.

 Chapter 87： Horror Movie Mode

    Hollywood has developed to this day, and it has long been not a geographical name, but a name for the American entertainment industry, and a synonym for a large industrial chain.


    After entering the 21st century, the entertainment industry will become the second largest industry in the United States after manufacturing.


    Who are the people at the core and top of this circle or the industry chain? Jewish!


    To some extent, Jews have a profound influence on the lifeline of this country. Although the descendants of Anglo-Saxons have established many anti-Semitic organizations, it is difficult to curb the expansion of Jews.


    With age and appearance, Ryan has some characteristics of Jewish descent. Whether he admits it or not, anti-Semitic organizations will treat him as a Jew, and he needs his own alliance.


    Using this physical advantage to get closer to the Jews is not harmful to him. His future lies in the entertainment industry, which can make the future a lot easier.


    He admitted that what he said to Spielberg had a lot of performance elements, but there was also a bit of sincerity. In his eyes, German Nazis and Hitler were not much different from little devils. What''s more, because of his previous life, he was right The word massacre is extremely sensitive. When I see "Schindler''s List", I think of the city where I lived in my previous life and the alarm that I can hear every May 3rd.


    Just... Ryan shook his head, really too lazy to say anything. The dramas and movies in the previous life had problems with his own position. Everyone felt untenable and wanted to be recognized by the international community...


    "Ryan, what are you thinking about?" Nicole glanced at Jinsli who was sitting in the co-pilot, leaned in his ear, and asked in a low voice.


    "Pave the way for our future." Ryan also leaned close to Nicole''s ear, but his lips touched the white and tender ear beads. In an instant, both of them were a little lost.


    Fortunately, they remembered that Jinsli and George were still sitting in the car, and they quickly returned to normal. Ryan explained a few words. Nicole himself is an insider and a smart person, so naturally he understood.


    "My dear, just tell me this, don''t talk to other people." Nicole warned softly.


    "Don''t worry, I''m not a fool."


    is reborn until now, Nicole is the only one who can fully trust him.


    Planet Hollywood restaurant is located at 129 Willis Street. The exterior is an aqua-blue planet, and the inside theme is American movies and TV. Since it opened this year, it has become the first choice for Hollywood celebrities to dine.


    Firstly, this is a restaurant jointly invested by three superstars, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. Secondly, there are extremely strict regulations. Stars don¡¯t have to worry about dining. The situation, will be leaked to the tabloid, three come, if you are lucky, your waiter may be one of the three superstars.


    To be honest, it¡¯s really not a good idea to come here from Universal Studios to dine. God only knows what Ron Mayer and Nicole think.


    Spielberg and George Lucas did not come, and Ryan knew the anxiety of the Jewish director, but both of his goddesses came.


    Whether it''s Drew Barrymore or Gwyneth Paltrow, both from a family of performing arts, they knew the importance of communication in this circle since they were young. Especially Drew, at a young age, is one Communicative master.


    Spielberg is the bridge, whether it''s Ryan or Drew, it''s not good to continue.


    Nicole, Jinsli, and Ron Mayer were three adults together, talking about something, while Ryan sat with Drew and Gwyneth.


    After chatting for a while, Ryan probably figured out the temperament of these two girls. Drew is not very good in style and reputation, either now or in the future, but she also has her own shining points. She is relatively straightforward and does not like to hide her own. Likes and dislikes, Gwyneth has to be quieter and more scheming.


    Two lives, Ryan naturally knows how to talk to people and talk to ghosts. Besides, Drew is the norm for more than 90% of the female stars in this circle. Drinking, sex, and one-night stands are good for Hollywood. That said, it couldn''t be more common.


    He is not a saint, as long as the people around him can keep a clear head.


    "By the way, Gwyneth, I remember the one in "Captain Hook"..." Ryan put down his knife and fork and knocked his head. He couldn''t remember the name of that character, so he said, "You played Captain Hook. is it?"


    "Yes, a small character." The little pepper in the previous life has a beautiful blonde hair. Although he is not very beautiful, he has an indescribable temperament. "Unlike you, Ryan, has starred in several movies. Up."


    The envy in her tone can even be heard by the waiter on one side.


    "I''m just lucky." Ryan said modestly.


    "Hey~" Drew suddenly put his chin on him.


    "Call me?" Ryan asked, pointing to himself.


    "I heard that you are good at making stories?"


    "It''s OK!"


    Drew suddenly came over, "You threw me so hard, you can''t make a verbal apology, right?"


    "This is a matter between the two of you, don''t drag me down."


    "Okay~"


    Ryan nodded. Anyway, the value of this future is great, and he has a huge network of relationships. Besides, this is a matter of mutual benefit, "Drew, what do you think you are being chased by a murderer? Well, wouldn¡¯t it be better if that guy is still your boyfriend?"


    "You will be chased..."


    Drew didn''t finish speaking, but reacted, "This kind of story is too common, right?"


    "How many horror movies have you seen?" Ryan asked.


    "I haven''t seen it much, I don''t like it very much." Gwyneth shook her head.


    "I''ve watched some, such as "Men Ghost Street" and the like." Drew pointed to the three people who were discussing things opposite, "You are not allowed to tell others, otherwise there will be trouble."


    "Well, this is a secret belonging to the three of us. No one can tell it. Of course, I have seen a lot." Ryan smiled, and then said, "Did you not find out that American horror movies have developed to the present, except A few of them have almost all become products on the assembly line. Except to see who sprinkles more ketchup, there is almost no shining point."


    "Oh~"


    The other two came to be interested, "Is it a psychological thriller like "Sixth Sense"?"


    Although "The Sixth Sense" is more about family and ethics, most people still regard it as another milestone in horror films. Since last year, there have been many works that follow the trend. Unfortunately, the success is limited. , Too many failed.


    "Of course not!" Ryan shook his finger and said, "There are several situations in the current horror movies. Anyone who does it will die."


    "carry on!"


    "Anyone who sleeps with others will die, those who take drugs and alcohol will die, those who say I will come back soon will die, those who ask who are there will die, and those who go alone to check the source of the noise will die too!"


    "It seems...that is indeed the case." Drew thought for a while and nodded in agreement.


    "and so¡­¡­"


    Ryan buttoned the table lightly, "Nowadays thrillers and horror films have begun to formulate, why don''t we make a horror film, gather these patterns together, and at the same time use the protagonist¡¯s lines to ridicule them? And ridicule?"


    "It''s really a good idea!"


    Drew stared his eyes and asked, "What''s next?"


    "This will be a campus youth horror film, and the specific plot needs to be conceived." At this point, he looked at Drew and reminded, "This kind of movie will fix the image and it will be very detrimental to your future transformation."


    "In the future?" Drew smiled wryly and waved his hand. "Do you think I can be worse than now?"


    Ryan laughed. It was true. Drew Barrymore in the early nineties was at the bottom of his life. The aliens of "ET" had run out of their old books, and there was no powerful new work coming out, plus the mess. The scandal was really bad enough, but according to Spielberg, she seemed to have given up drugs and was still taking alcohol quitting classes. It seemed that she wanted to stand up again just like her previous life.


    "Okay." Ryan thought about the plot in "Screaming", except for some lines related to "Instinct", it is not very relevant to the real world. It should be produced a few years in advance and there should be no big problem. "I will conceive as soon as possible, but it may take a long time."


    "Why?" Drew''s eyes widened, as if to say don''t forget this is what you owe me.


    "Because you are too young." Ryan said angrily.


    "Too young?" Drew was not convinced, and he straightened his chest quite coquettishly.


    "Damn it!" Ryan cursed in his heart. This is really Drew Barrymore''s style. "Next month I will release my first album. I have to promote it and sign it. I still have a script in my hand. , These all take time!"


    "Album?" Drew and Gwyneth were stunned, and then they remembered that the man next to them was about to release their first album in their lives.


    "Damn it!" Drew covered his forehead, "It''s hard to bring the post-80s to be as perverted as you?"


    "I''m just the most special one." Ryan borrowed the words of a certain madman in his previous life.


    "Well, Ryan, if you can finish the script for me first..."


    Drew suddenly leaned in, lowered his voice and said jokingly, "I will spend a week with you, whatever...what about you."


    "àÛ~"


    Drew Barrymore is indeed Drew Barrymore! Ryan directly squirted the juice out of his mouth, not to mention the age problem, just her five big and three rough looks, not in the least in line with his aesthetics.


    "Drew, you...are you kidding me? Ryan is only twelve years old." Gwyneth asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear12 years old? What happened when I was twelve, I was not a virgin when I was twelve. "


    Drew didn''t care at all, he said it carelessly, and almost made Ryan smile again. This guy is too invincible.


    In fact, Ryan knows very well that it is normal for a woman in Hollywood to use her body in exchange for what she wants.


    There are no unspoken rules in Hollywood. They have become clear rules here from the 1950s and 1960s. Women who want to be famous without a path and no chance will do everything possible to climb up, even if the other party puts on their pants and refuses to recognize people, they still will. Go ahead and succeed in succession.


    This situation is not only in the entertainment industry, it is common in all walks of life in the United States, and the degree of openness of Western girls before marriage is really staggering.


    Especially in the entertainment industry, where fame and fortune are intertwined, it is a veritable big dyeing tank. Although there are many people who are clean and self-conscious, ninety-nine of the female stars don¡¯t mind having a one-night stand with people who look right. If you can still take advantage of it , It couldn''t be more wonderful.


    Actually, if it weren''t for age, Ryan would have faced all kinds of temptations long ago by virtue of successively successful works.


    Ryan knows very well that if it''s an ordinary woman, it''s not a big deal even if you don''t admit it afterwards, but for an already famous actress, some rules are acquiesced by the whole circle. If you get something, you will have to pay the corresponding price.

 Chapter 88： 2nd single

    On the first day of the new year, Ryan¡¯s second single "I.Believe.I.can.fly" was officially released. Like "he", there was no single release. After all, it won¡¯t be long before his first single was released. A solo album will come out, and all the enthusiasm should be accumulated until then to explode.


    Ryan has already stated clearly that all the personal proceeds from this single will be donated to Princess Diana''s charity foundation. This is not a cake for Disney, and they will naturally have no objection.


    The intensive publicity has not stopped since December. The quality of singles and albums has given Hollywood record companies strong confidence.


    Ryan also showed his influence among teenagers. When the school was off, record stores across the United States ushered in a boom.


    The quality of this song is better than that of "he". After the vocal change period, Ryan''s voice has become more listenable.


    "I thought I could not hold on, life is just a melancholy song, but now I understand the meaning of true love, I have learned the most durable weapon in life, as long as I can see hope, I can succeed, as long as I Believe that I can do it, then there is nothing wrong, I believe that I can fly, I believe that I can touch the sky, day and night, I am imagining this scene, spreading my wings and flying..."


    Facing the hot sales, the store owners of the record store played the song one after another in the store, attracting more people''s attention.


    This song in the previous life was the theme song of "Slam Dunk in the Air". It was born for the emperor of basketball. It is one of the best R&B songs in Grammy history. Although Ryan has changed the arrangement, The composition of black music was reduced, but it did not affect the spread of the song.


    Even without that movie, it will still be a golden song.


    After the new week, Hollywood record companies are busy. Unlike the past, many people have a relaxed smile on their faces. It is the first time since the establishment of the Hollywood record company that they laugh so happy.


    Music director John Burns came to the CEO''s office early, waiting for the latest sales statistics.


    "John, can you sit down?" Sitting behind the desk, CEO Reid said dissatisfied, "You walk back and forth like this, so I can''t work at ease."


    "Work? Do you still have the heart to work?" John Burns curled his lips.


    "Well, I am also in a hurry..."


    There was a knock on the door, and Reed¡¯s female secretary walked into the office and handed the file to her immediate superior.


    "Is it the sales statistics?" John Burns didn''t care about the subordinates at all. He rushed to Reed''s seat in two steps and stretched his head to read the numbers on the file.


    1...2...6, six digits, 211,213 sheets!


    Reid and John Burns breathed out at the same time, and then there was an uncontrollable excitement on their faces. For a single, it is already very good to get such results in the first week.


    "Unfortunately, it did not exceed the first week of sales of "I.will.Always.Love.you"." John Burns still has some regrets. "I.Believe.I.can.fly" was created by Riel Jenkins. In front of a song, it can only be said to be a complete defeat.


    "Come on, John." Reid looked very openly. "For the record industry, Ryan can only be regarded as a newcomer, and Whitney Houston is a superstar who has been famous for many years."


    "Well, this result has actually exceeded our expectations. Can we celebrate now?" John Burns cast his gaze on the wine cabinet, "I know you treasure a bottle of Martell, hurry up and take it out. Right?"


    "Are you sure you want to celebrate now?" Reid pushed him aside directly, "Don''t forget, Ryan''s album is about to be officially released!"


    "I will let you go this time, and celebrate when the album is on sale!"


    Obviously, the popularity of this single gave John Burns strong confidence.


    At the same time, Ryan, who was enjoying the New Year''s holiday, received a call from the record company to announce the good news. He just smiled faintly. This songbook is a golden song from a previous life. It is too normal to be able to sell such sales. All the proceeds from the single were donated, and no matter how much he sold, he wouldn''t get a cent.


    He still disdains such dishonest things as repentance and repayment of donations.


    cut off the phone, Ryan picked up the colored pencils and sketched on the sketch, a sketch is about to be completed.


    In the painting is a thin girl in a striped short-sleeved shirt, with a dark brown bob head covering her sad face, two rows of clear tears hanging under her bright eyes, and a silver-white sun-shaped pendant on her neck is very conspicuous .


    Ryan finished the last stroke, changed the carbon pencil, and wrote the letters ¡®Mathilda¡¯ on it.


    The door was pushed open, Nicole walked in with a few magazines, came to the easel, glanced at the colored pencil sketches, glanced at the picture frame in the glass cabinet, and asked, "This is... Nat ?"


    "Huh? Nicole." Ryan looked at the drawing in a daze, only then found that Nicole came to him.


    "Scenario set-up?" Nicole was a little curious. She knew that Ryan was writing a script for Natalie, "Is the script for Nat finished?"


    "The first draft is complete." Ryan nodded. The script has been dragging on for several months.


    "Here you are." Nicole handed over the magazine, "The latest bulletin board and Rolling Stone magazine."


    Ryan sat aside and flipped through the magazine, while Nicole flipped through the set shots that had been drawn, basically all portraits of the little girl based on Natalie.


    "Wow~" Ryan let out a cheer. Of course he was happy to achieve good results in the songs he sang.


    In the latest issue of the bulletin board rankings, "I.Believe.I.can.fly" won the second place, and on top of it is an insurmountable mountain, Whitney Houston¡¯s "Iwillalwaysloveyou ".


    This is normal. Ryan has never thought that "I.Believe.I.can.fly" can be compared to "Iwillalwaysloveyou". There is still a certain gap than Whitney Houston.


    Besides, "Iwillalwaysloveyou" has the movie "Bodyguard" to cheer, but "I.Believe.I.can.fly" lacks "Slam Dunk". Although Ryan doesn''t like basketball, he also knows that he lacks the emperor of basketball. There is still some influence on this song.


    However, this song is more of a pre-heating for the album, as long as it can maintain the current momentum is enough.


    Billboard Magazine also commented on the song.


    ""I.Believe.I.can.fly" is Ryan Jenkins''s second single, which is different from the playful and cheerful style of "he" with sarcasm. This R&B style song, with With a distinctly inspirational taste."


    "Ryan''s bright singing voice has a hint of hoarseness. The previous section of the song gives people a low-key and heavy feeling. As the tune progresses, his singing voice is like the rising tide of sea water, constantly rolling and jumping. , Stride towards the climax in the open, and when you reach the top, spread your wings and soar!"


    He opened the "Rolling Stone" magazine again. Compared with "Billboard", "Rolling Stone" sometimes focuses more on the singer.


    "Ryan¡¯s singing is like a spark before the darkness and dying, with light, hope, pursuit, and finally gaining light. He and his song are like shooting stars across the dark night sky, showing brilliant The light, like a Venus in the dark, pointed the direction to the confused traveler."


    "This song is like Ryan''s life, starting from the dark and cold, gradually moving toward the light, and finally spreading its wings and flying high. This is one of the best R&B songs of all time."


    "From the few songs he has already come out, it can be seen that this boy is full of musical talents, let us look forward to his first album in life!"


    After reading the two magazines that praised him to the sky, Ryan didn¡¯t bother to look through the remaining ones. He simply returned to the cloakroom, changed into a sportswear, and took Nicole to the gym to play billiards. As the saying goes, Lao Yi He is the king. He has been catching up with "Killer Leon" these days, and it''s time to relax.


    "I.Believe.I.can.fly" did not stop its progress. With word of mouth and popular on-demand broadcasting on the radio, the sales of singles in the second week did not decline, but instead ushered in a small peak. The sales volume was close to 240,000 copies.


    Hollywood record companies are inspiring, and so far they have established their confidence to cut a piece of cake from the record market.


    While many media praised the song, they also expressed their expectations for Ryan''s first album.


    "Yes, I am looking forward to Ryan''s first album very much. I look forward to that day as soon as possible. We can''t wait." The fan who was interviewed by the TV station immediately expressed the thoughts of many teenagers.


    Of course, there are not only voices of praise, but some people are also complaining.


    "Ryan''s song is really good, but I would like to see Harry Potter''s fourth episode one day earlier. It has been so long since the New Year. Neither Ryan nor the publishing company told us about the publication of the fourth episode. Time, I am very worried that Ryan gave time to music and movies, forgetting the existence of us book fans."


    is not just an individual, several book fan organizations have also voiced their own voices, hoping to see the fourth episode of Harry Potter as soon as possible.


    At this time, some movie fans jumped out again, saying that Ryan hadn''t taken any appointments since "Terminator 2", and they wanted to continue to see his superb performance on the big screen.


    Although there is a relationship between record companies and publishers behind the scenes, UU Reading , but the hype has just begun, how come it has reached a climax? Ryan clearly feels that his influence among teenagers in the United States is becoming more and more widespread. Isn''t this a good thing?


    Entering mid-January, Alien Press, a subsidiary of Alien, took the lead and held a press conference to announce that the fourth episode of the Harry Potter series "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" will be released from February Starting from the 1st of the month, it will be available in major bookstores in North America and the UK.


    Harry Potter fans suddenly beamed, wishing that tomorrow was February 1st.


    As a result, Hollywood record companies have objections. The launch time of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" coincides with their promotional plans for a considerable period of time. It is difficult to say that it will not affect the sales of the album.


    "Ryan, I better postpone Harry Potter''s time to market!" Reid also called specifically for this.


    "I''m sorry, Reid, the contract for "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" has long been signed." Ryan sighed. It is impossible to postpone it. After all, the novel''s agreement was already in October last year. Signed.


    "Is there no other way?" Reid still didn''t give up.


    Ryan curled his lips. He didn''t think that novels and records would hinder each other. On the contrary, he felt that one plus one would be greater than two. Besides, the black and white contract is there. Is it necessary for him to pay the penalty?


    "Reid, I have already pushed down the publishing house''s North American signing event. This is the only thing I can do."


    ...Second more~~~Tickets and collections~~

 Chapter 89： Come to new york

    In front of the white dining table, Ryan unconsciously scratched the empty plate with a knife and fork. Obviously, Jinsili was sitting opposite him, waiting for breakfast. She rushed over early in the morning, just in time to taste Nicole Key. Deman''s craftsmanship.


    Eyes scanned the parcel next to her. This was just given to her by Ryan. Unlike the past, this script was packaged before being given to her. It was still mailed to France. The recipient was a French named Jean Renault. Actor, she has heard of it.


    The package is naturally a copy of the script of "Killer Leon". Ryan did not mail it directly to Luc Besson. You must know how many scripts will be received by famous directors and producers like him in one day. , Maybe you can''t even watch it, it''s better to mail it to his close friend Jean Reynolds.


    Ryan believes that only the few sketches of Leon''s setting can arouse the interest of the big-nosed actor.


    As for the manuscript of the script, it is of course to be given to Natalie. It should be very interesting for her to collect it, right?


    However, I remember that she didn''t like this role very much when she grew up in the previous life, would it burn out?


    He didn''t show the script to Nicole and Jinsli. The content of this script is one hundred percent controversial. Nicole will definitely let him hold it in his hands and wait a few years.


    Ryan did not want to do this, he must let this most classic little loli be born in his own hands.


    "Lolita, the light of my life..."


    Ryan was fascinated by his fantasy, suddenly his forehead warmed, and he recovered, it turned out that Nicole came over with the breakfast and kissed it gently with red lips.


    "It''s been a long time since you had breakfast that you made by yourself!" Ryan looked eager to try.


    "I guess you won''t like it." Nicole Kidman divided breakfast, bacon omelette, French bread, hot milk and not many beans.


    "God, Nicole, why do you still have beans for breakfast."


    Ryan shook his mouth. There were beans for dinner yesterday, and beans for breakfast today. God knows how much he doesn''t like beans. If it is tofu, it is almost the same.


    "No conditions are allowed. You must eat all of them. This is for your health. Do you know why I can grow so tall? Because I have liked to eat beans since I was a child. You don''t want to grow up to be shorter than me, right?" Nicole always had reasons to persuade him. Based on her understanding of him, it was natural that Ryan was afraid of growing up.


    "My dear, height is more genetically related. I will have at least six feet in the future!" Although Ryan said that, he scooped up a few beans with a spoon, frowning as if he was going to the execution ground. .


    "Then why do you always worry about your growth?"


    "It''s not because you are too tall, my God, it''s almost six feet, the pressure of men is too much in front of you!"


    "Well, don''t complain, you are not a man, you are just a boy." After dividing the meal for Ryan and Jinsli, Nicole also sat down.


    Ryan is just a few habitual complaints, no matter what Nicole prepares for breakfast, he will eat it all, let alone just a few dozen beans.


    For Americans, breakfast is also a good place to discuss matters, even though there is only an authentic American at the table.


    "Ryan, I went to New York a few days ago, guess who I saw?" It was Jinsli.


    "New York? Is it Nat?" Ryan is just guessing. Since he told Kingsley last summer, she has been to New York several times to watch Natalie''s performance, but she has never been in formal contact with the other party.


    "That''s right." Jinsli smiled, "I have signed a brokerage contract with her."


    "Ah~" Ryan blinked. Natalie and Mrs. Shelly said that her father was a big trouble. "How do you convince Mr. Avner."


    Jinsli shrugged, and did not say clearly, "eloquence is the most basic quality of an agent, and..."


    "What?" Ryan was dissatisfied with her practice of selling off children.


    "I won the opportunity for her to star in a movie."


    "Movies?" Ryan was a little mad. Could it be that Natalie would change her debut? "what movie?"


    "Schindler''s List!"


    "Boom~"


    The spoon in Ryan''s hand fell on the dining table, and several beans fell from his open mouth.


    Natalie starred in "Schindler''s List"? Are you kidding me? In Nicole''s stern eyes, Ryan hurriedly rubbed his face and cleared the dining table.


    "What the **** is going on...?" he asked.


    "That''s it." Jinsli smiled and bent over. It was the first time she saw Ryan''s shocked appearance. "Stephen''s crew needs a large number of Jewish actors, so I recommended Nat to him. He I also agreed."


    "Nate agreed?" He remembered very clearly that in her previous life, Natalie had never taken on a Holocaust type performance except for the "Anne Frank Diary" stage play, and she clearly did not want to appear in this type of movie.


    "Some hesitation, but after I heard that Steven had also invited you, I agreed."


    "I?"


    "Oh, I haven''t had time to say it." Jinsli added, "Before Stephen went to Poland, he called me and sent out an invitation. The role was a Jewish cleaner for a Nazi officer."


    "That''s it." Ryan''s mind turned. This is a rare opportunity. Originally, even if Spielberg didn''t invite him, he would recommend himself when he went to Poland some time later, "Well, I''ll take it."


    He went on to say, "Pat, tell Stephen that I will star in this film for free."


    Cleaner? Ryan recalled it for a moment, and roughly guessed which character it was. It seemed that he was going to be killed in the film.


    As for Natalie, he can guess her mind more or less. The two argued for several years, from art to what they are good at, to current affairs and politics.


    Now I have the opportunity to be able to perform in the same film, one higher and lower, this proud and confident girl will naturally not let it go.


    Originally, he wanted to make a call to Natalie, but he thought that he was leaving for New York today, so he should wait until the meeting.


    "Ryan, it''s late, you have to hurry up, are your luggage packed?"


    After eating breakfast, Nicole came to his room and checked the luggage for Ryan, ¡°Also, I¡¯m not by your side. Take care of yourself. Remember to call every day. Don¡¯t leave George¡¯s sight. Don¡¯t make trouble. I heard. ?"


    "I heard it." Ryan stuffed his pen, small drawing board and notebook into his backpack, "Nicole, you remember to call me too."


    Ryan has long been equipped with a mobile phone, but now the phone is ugly and heavy, so naturally it was carried by George.


    He brought all his personal clothes and manuscripts. Musical instruments and the like were handed over to Hollywood record companies for a long time. The purpose of going to New York this time is very simple, to hold a new album sale in Times Square!


    Nicole helped him carry the suitcase and walked down from the second floor. George had parked the car at the door of the villa, and Jinsli and an assistant would also accompany him.


    "Nicole, it will be a long time since I can see you again." After putting the luggage, the two said goodbye.


    The girl hugged the boy forcefully into her arms and kissed on her forehead. Ryan simply got into this embrace that he missed so much, and took a few deep breaths of the sweet fragrance that could make him calm, not knowing it was a fever. It was still a ghost, and even took a bite on Nicole''s chest through a thin sweater.


    When the teeth touched soft, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly released Nicole. Before she could react, he pulled the door and jumped into the car.


    "Goodbye, Nicole, don''t forget to study the script of "Jurassic Park"!"


    After Ryan beckoned, the car drove out of their home.


    "Damn boy!" Nicole cursed lowly, looked at the place where the sweater was wet with saliva, shook his head and smiled.


    Anyway, Ryan would do this occasionally when he was a child. Nicole didn''t care, but forgot that both he and she have Oscar-level acting skills. If you really want to start the drama, who can see through whom?


    When entering the plane, Ryan and Jinsli¡¯s seats are in the first class, and everyone else is in business class. More often, Jinsli is like a nanny. When the plane takes off, he asks him to pay attention to things, and he will be obsessed with him. Covered with a blanket, he will hand over his favorite strawberry juice in time when he is thirsty.


    Thinking of what he did when he left home, Ryan wanted to slap himself in the face. Are you really satisfied if you really want to ruin your current life?


    But that feeling is really good. Ryan started to wander away again. Even a beauty like Nicole Kidman has flaws, such as her feet are too big and her chest is slightly smaller, but in his eyes, Nicole is the most beautiful, and she nestled in her when he was a child. Falling asleep in the arms how warm and sweet it is, if...


    bastard! Would you die if you don''t want this? Remember, you are only twelve years old! You are the younger brother of Nicole Kidman! Ryan shook his head vigorously, took a few more deep breaths, and his restless heart finally calmed down.


    There are some things that he didn''t want to think about, but subconsciously ignored them. These things popped out of his mind more and more times, more and more frequently.


    The plane landed smoothly at Kennedy Airport. Ryan had just walked out of the VIP channel. Dozens of reporters surrounded him like flies smelling blood.


    "Ryan, predict the first week of sales of your first album, right?"


    "Your records and novels coincide with the release time, will it have a bad effect?"


    "¡­¡­"


    Under the protection of airport security and record company staff, Ryan left the airport quickly without answering any questions.


    For this conference, the Hollywood record company has worked hard to set the hotel where he stayed at the Waldorf Astoria. Fortunately, the pink goblin who lives here is said to have gone on a trip, otherwise his head will definitely become Two big.


    Even so, there is no need to be idle. Many fans have already inquired about his residence, and simply gathered at the door of the hotel, shouting his name in unison, Ryan had to open the window of the suite and wave to the outside from time to time.


    Fortunately, the floor where he lives is not high. You can see his appearance from below, which can be considered as satisfying the wishes of some fans.

 Chapter 90： Sign-off meeting one

    "Kristen, hurry up, we should go."


    A sixteen-year-old girl dragged a twelve-year-old girl out of the hotel, and the taxi who had called was already waiting on the side of the road.


    "Larry, slow down." The girl named Christine was holding a lot of things and almost fell.


    "Damn it, Christine, what did you bring?" Sitting in the taxi, Larry said to the driver, "Go to Times Square, okay?"


    "Don''t be faster, use the fastest speed!" Kristen is obviously more popular.


    "What are you bringing?" Larryl flipped through the schoolbag that his companion was holding. "He" and "I.Believe.I.can.fly", God...this is "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" ""Ryan Story Collection"..."


    Larry was speechless, "Kristin, let''s go to the Ryan Jenkins album sale event, not the novel sale event!"


    "Isn''t it the same?" Kristen shrugged indifferently, "These are all Ryan''s works, I must go find him for autographs!"


    "Are you going to Times Square for the signing of Ryan Jenkins?" The driver suddenly said.


    "Do you know Ryan too?" Kristen asked with bright eyes. It seemed that a middle-aged person could know his idol and she would feel great honor.


    "Of course, how many people in America don''t know him now?" The middle-aged uncle asked rhetorically and laughed, "I like his performance in "Terminator 2" very much, and I am "Jurassic Park" Supporters, um... I also like "I.Believe.I.canfly"!"


    "Wow, do you have anything you want to say to Ryan, we can bring it for you." The two girls cheered.


    "Unfortunately, ladies, I want to tell you that when I passed Times Square at six o''clock, there was a line of thousands of people. It is estimated that there are at least a few thousand people now. You may run for nothing today. trip."


    "No...no?" Kristen''s smile disappeared immediately, and frustration instantly took over her face.


    "I''ll just say it, I''ll say it!" Larry complained, and she tugged at her partner''s blonde hair. "Kristen, I said, I should come over to line up last night. You didn''t know that Ryan had How popular is it? Why do you have to stay at the hotel all night?"


    "You know, I participated in the selection of the Mickey Mouse Club, and I want to hear the call from Pittsburgh for the first time." Despite that, Christine''s face still showed regret.


    "I''m sorry, Larryl!" Kristen''s eyes flashed, and she seemed to cry at any time.


    "Forget it, forget it." Larryl waved his hand generously. "Aren''t you selected for the Mickey Mouse Club? You will go to Disney in a while. There will definitely be a chance to see Ryan. I want a signed photo of him."


    "Will!"


    The taxi finally arrived at the destination. Before Larry and Christine got off the bus, the middle-aged driver said, "God bless you, it will be done today!"


    "Thank you!"


    Larryl thanked him, Christine had turned his head and looked into the distance, muttering in his heart, today¡¯s God has changed its name, and Ryan is God in Times Square!


    It was not yet eight o''clock in the morning. Thousands of people had gathered in a corner of the square, most of them were teenagers like them. They couldn''t wait any longer and ran all the way.


    "People... there are so many people!"


    The two were a little dumbfounded. There were at least a thousand people in front of the record store. There were more people gathered in front of the stage. Not to mention the queue, it was impossible to get to the stage.


    "It''s annoying!" Christine stomped hard.


    She and her companions came to New York from Pittsburgh specifically to get autographs from their idols. It would be even better if they could take a group photo. Now this may be infinitely low.


    She felt more and more frustrated. She had the urge to cry. Strictly speaking, she was also a singer. She had been on stage very early, and she had participated in all-American star drafts. Although she failed, she was in Pittsburgh. TV programs have also sung the national anthem for a number of sports clubs, and they are also well-known in Pittsburgh.


    Although her childhood was not pleasant, she has always been proud of her musical talents and believes that when she grows up, she will definitely become a big singer like Madonna.


    Until last year, she suddenly discovered that many people in the school were singing a song called "he". This song was playful and lively, especially the lyrics. It was so interesting that she soon attracted her, and she even adapted it. I read the lyrics, sang loudly at the school assembly, and ridiculed the person I hated the most.


    Then she met the creator and singer of the song, Ryan Jenkins, a boy one year older than her, who had released a single, which made her a little dissatisfied. She felt that her musical talent was not better than him. Inferior!


    She began to collect information about this person, and then she became more and more dumbfounded, astonished by his works, his talents, and his multiple identities!


    This boy is a young writer, a popular movie screenwriter, a famous Hollywood child star, a songwriter, and a fighter who dared to resist face to face when facing the oppression of big stars!


    She became more and more interested in him and bought all of his works, such as "Jurassic Park", "Ryan Tales", "Harry Potter..." and other books, "Sixth Sense," "Home Alone", and "The End The more I watched the tapes such as "Zheer 2", the more she was surprised. What he did at this age is unprecedented in the history of Hollywood!


    So, she fell, and her neighbor sister Larry, who was watching with her, became a big fan of Ryan Jenkins.


    She likes his books and his movies, but what he likes most is his music, even if he only sang one song, after the "Bodyguard" movie was released, she listened to the ten songs he composed in the original soundtrack After more than a hundred times, I was able to sing by myself, especially "I.have.nothing". Many people think that she sang the eight-point charm of Whitney Houston.


    For more than half a year, she has been looking forward to Ryan''s new song, and she has heard that he is in a period of changing voice, and she is unavoidably disappointed in her heart. Unexpectedly, it has just entered the New Year and "I.Believe.I.can.fly" begins. Propaganda hit the charts, this inspirational song reminded her of her dream.


    I believe I Can Fly! soar! Listening to this song and singing this song, she participated in the selection of the Mickey Mouse Club. With the dream of being in the same company as her idol, she succeeded.


    But now, she is a loser, and she is likely to lose the opportunity to get close to Ryan. No one knows how much she wants to run to the boy and say thank you loudly to him. It¡¯s your song that makes me love The dream is flying!


    "Kristen, Christine, what are you thinking?" Larry took her hand, "Shall we go to the stage or line up at the record store?"


    "You guys are too late." A boy next to him said at this time, "There is still a chance to squeeze on the stage. It is estimated that this is impossible on the signing side. I roughly counted it. There are more than two thousand people in line! "


    "Is there no other way?" Christine asked unwillingly.


    "Did you see him?" The boy pointed to a boy in the distance. He was at the top of the queue. "I went to talk to him. He has been queuing here since yesterday evening. All came last night."


    "Ryan is a big star." Larry sighed.


    "Big star?" The boy curled his lips, obviously disagreeing with the other person''s opinion, "Who is Ryan? The author of Harry Potter and Jurassic Park, the child star of the Oscar Goldman, can dictate the bodyguard for three hours. "Iwillalwaysloveyou" can be written in half an hour. You go to Hollywood to find a big star and ask if they can do it? What Tom Cruise, we Ryan will throw him ten streets!"


    The boy looked like a fan.


    "Yep!"


    His voice was a little high, and it reached the ears of many people nearby, and these guys echoed loudly.


    "Ryan~Ryan~"


    I don''t know who led the head, several people shouted at the same time, and Christine also raised his arms and shouted, and then the voice spread to the entire square, and thousands of people shouted in the same tone.


    The clear cry spread all over Times Square, across Fifth Avenue, and reached the mouth of the Hudson River...


    Kristen suddenly felt squeezed by someone. When she turned her head to look, a thin girl with a small backpack was walking past her, and the bear doll hanging on the backpack fell to the ground.


    "Hey! Hey!" She grabbed the girl and pointed to the doll on the floor.


    "Thank you!"


    After the girl picked up the bear doll, she leaned close to her and said loudly but the shouts were too loud to hear.


    She pointed to her ears and shook her hand again. The girl seemed helpless, and pointed to her far away. Kristen hesitated for a moment and looked at her position. There is no difference between being farther away and here. , Took Larry and walked with the girl to a quieter place in the distance.


    "It''s crazy, what''s so good about that guy, he''s obviously a fool."


    This girl has a dark brown ponytail and a small mole on her cheek. Although she looks very thin, she is very cute, but what she says from her mouth is somewhat unpleasant.


    That guy? Ryan? Christine immediately understood who she was talking about, how could she say that!


    "Thank you!" The girl thanked again.


    "No!" Christine''s attitude changed, "You don''t like Ryan, no one will force you. But you can''t attack Ryan in front of us!"


    "Me?" The girl''s mouth-opened boss realized that her mumbling was heard by his fans. Could this be the brain fan he had said?


    "So, you must apologize!" Larryl apparently heard the girl''s words.


    Apology? Isn''t this changing to subdue to that guy? Absolutely not! The girl shook her head immediately, but when she saw the two girls coming up, she looked at her thin body again, and said immediately, "Wait...wait, do you want to get Ryan''s signature? He was in close contact, um...maybe you can take a group photo!"


    ...The fourth update is here. Tickets, collections, code to the street, two updates tomorrow~~

 Chapter 91： Signing event two

    The shouts in the square were getting louder and louder and reaching the rest room. Ryan heard it. He felt his heart beating vigorously, his blood began to boil, and his proud calmness was gradually replaced by excitement. A completely different feeling, completely different from the Oscar, and the movie premiere!


    Yes, what I want is this kind of feeling, this kind of dazzling feeling of standing in the middle of thousands of people!


    "Ryan, time is almost up." John Burns and Pie Kingsley walked in together.


    Ryan nodded and looked at the band on the other side, "Guys, are you ready?"


    "Yes!" Four raised fists responded to him.


    "Come on, this stage belongs to us today!" Ryan took the lead out.


    There is no host on the stage, no reporter interviews, no camera lens, only music, music that can resonate with everyone!


    "It''s Ryan, Ryan is out."


    Amidst the cheers of the fans, the lights from the reporters flashed and turned on, and even the neon advertisements around Times Square were covered.


    The boy on the stage is wearing dark jeans, canvas shoes of the same color, light-colored long-sleeved shirt, and light brown short hair standing upright like his strong character. Although the height of five feet five inches has not yet shaken off the childishness of children, But it showed a unique style.


    The boy''s left hand was raised above his head. It was just a breathing time. The tsunami-like shouts from the mountains on the square disappeared, and silence was replaced by silence, which can be heard even when a needle falls on the ground!


    The boys and girls off the stage, young men and women, all held their breaths tightly. They wanted to hear every word that came up on the stage.


    However, the boy on the stage did not speak, his raised hand snapped his fingers at the band behind, and the accompaniment tune rang.


    The tune is strangely unfamiliar, but very beautiful, they immediately realized that this is a new song in the album!


    "I won''t make the mistakes I made before, and I won''t let my heart be filled with pain again~"|


    The singing voice is full of elasticity, just a sentence of lyrics, the eyes of the people under the stage light up. After all, this is the first time Ryan Jenkins sang in public. Before this, no one knew his live ability. how is it.


    He didn''t let them down!


    "Because of you, I have learned to stay in a safe place and not be harmed. Because of you, I try to trust others and live in peace with people around me. Because of you, I feel dependent on my heart!"


    The emotional outburst in the chorus part was so sudden, but so natural, Ryan¡¯s singing was full of penetrating power, and the rich singing went straight through the sky. They heard the shocking accusations and the strong appearance of the boy. Next, a heart full of attachment.


    Who is attached to? A cold face flashed through some people''s minds.


    This is a very touching song. The transmission and calling of emotions easily touched their hearts.


    When the music fell, the enthusiastic applause seemed to overturn the sky. Before the applause fell a little, the call of ¡®Ryan¡¯ rang again, and it only took a second to suppress the applause.


    Turning off the microphone, Ryan let out a sigh of relief. He found that he was an excited player. The bigger the scene, the more excited he was. The more excited he was, the better he played. "Because of.you" is him. I sang the best one, even better than the first half of the album version.


    "Friends in New York! Friends in New York!" When the shout was slightly lower, Ryan turned on the microphone. As his voice sounded, the scene was quiet again, "Oh...how are you?"


    "Wow~" The audience shouted again.


    "Hello everyone, I''m Ryan Jenkins, the guy who sang "he" more than half a year ago! Welcome to the first album sale of Ryan Jenkins!"


    In a kind of laughter, Ryan continued, "That song was called "because.of.you" just now, it was made for the person I love the most, I hope you will like it!"


    "Earlier, when I was sitting in the lounge, I heard your screaming through the thick concrete wall, and then I told myself how wonderful the fans you have, God, their high pitch You are much stronger."


    "I''m standing on the stage, standing in the place with the best view, I can see everyone, you are the best!" Ryan walked to the side of the stage, pointed to the bottom and said, "The one on the left is the Savior''s Poster, okay, I looked so bad at that time. Also, here, God, you are holding Harry Potter, I think the record company should be upset!"


    Both fans and popularity need to be managed. Ryan¡¯s affinity naturally radiated out, making some innocuous jokes in exchange for the high cheers from the stage.


    Ryan snapped his fingers at the back again, and the bassist played a fast-paced melody.


    "I know, for today, I have prepared for a long time, and you have prepared for a long time." He pointed to a huge and eye-catching comic version of Ryan, "For example, the friends who made that poster, not a few days ago Time, I can¡¯t draw such a picture at all. Don¡¯t doubt, you know I can sketch. So, I can feel your enthusiasm for me!"


    "Since you want to spend this unforgettable day with me, then... are you ready?" Ryan pointed to the stage.


    "yes!"


    Ryan made a gesture to the audience, and a staff member quickly sent the electric guitar up, and he made an OK gesture to the band, signalling for the rock version!


    This occasion is not suitable for singing lyrical songs.


    ""It¡¯s.my.life"!" Ryan plucked the strings, "GO!"


    It is completely different from the previous song. This is obviously a fast-paced rock. This song is actually not related to CS. There are two versions of rock and lyric. Ryan re-arranged the song and kept it. Based on a certain rock element, the style of the song tends to be more popular.


    "This is my life. This is not a song for sad people. God will not shelter those praying without faith. I don''t want to be just a member of all living beings. You will hear my heart when I speak loudly. Shout out, this is my life!"


    The fast-paced songs are full of tension. Ryan¡¯s singing is cleverly controlled on the edge of the broken sound. The hoarse roar seems invigorating, but it is unique and infectious. Many people in the audience twisted with the music.


    There are many people with great musical sense, and they danced to the disco to the beat.


    "Wow~" Ryan let out a strange cry, interrupted the gradual applause, waved to the audience, and said, "Okay! Like all stories I write, there is always a protagonist in the story. Today''s The protagonists are you, and of course, I and my band, then... the last song, "the.show"!"


    "Ryan, here''s a new song! We want to listen to the new song!" the fans in the audience shouted loudly.


    This Johnson & Johnson commercial theme song has been spread throughout the streets and alleys following the broadcast of the commercial. They don''t know how many times they have heard it.


    "That won''t work, it will breach the contract, do you know?" Ryan deliberately widened his eyes, and waited for the shouts from the audience to rise again before he said with a sigh, "Okay, okay, who made you guys? Today¡¯s protagonist, the direction of the story should be determined by the protagonist, the new song "lemon.Tree", I hope you will not be disappointed."


    A relaxed accompaniment sounded, followed by Ryan''s playful singing.


    "I was sitting in this boring room, another rainy Sunday afternoon, I had nothing to do, I wasted time... I was at a loss, I don''t know what to do, so yesterday you painted me blue , The blue sky, but I only saw a yellow lemon tree, I turned my head, up and down, turning, turning, again and again, all I saw was another lemon tree! "


    The cheerful rhythm, the jumping notes, and the naughty singing make people can''t help but relax their tight nerves, and even the little fatigue in the brain seems to disappear.


    Three styles of songs, three different singing voices, excellent live performance, and relaxing typhoon, all show Ryan''s strong personal charm, even if he is still young, there are young fans who look into his eyes , Little stars have begun to twinkle.


    "Ryan~ I love you!" Such shouts came and went one after another.


    "Thank you everyone, thank you!" Facing the audience, Ryan waved his hand and walked towards the audience.


    "Encore! Encore!"


    The shouts in the audience were still neat, but the voice was much lower. After all, this is the release of the new album. What kind of show will be next, they naturally know that although there are thousands of people at the door of the record store, they go to the line. There is always hope, isn''t it?


    "Wow, UU reading Ryan is so handsome." Larryl''s eyes were full of little stars.


    "Ryan sings amazingly. He writes and sings by himself. It is amazing. I will also become a singer-songwriter in the future!" Kristen is barely a professional, and his perspective is naturally different.


    "Is he as good as you said?" the other girl said with her lips curled.


    "You are not allowed to say that about Ryan." Kristen opened his eyes and looked at the crowd that began to disperse around the stage. "Didn''t you say you can take us into the record store? Then go!"


    After finishing speaking, she also took the other''s arm, for fear that she would run away.


    "Don''t worry, I will speak for words, I will never run away." The girl rolled her eyes, took the two silly fans in her eyes, went around in a circle, and came to the side door of the record store.


    "What do you do?" A staff member stopped them at the door.


    "I am Ryan''s friend. I made an appointment yesterday."


    The staff didn¡¯t mean to give way at all, so he saw too many people posing as celebrity friends. The girl had no choice but to continue, ¡°Could you please contact Ryan¡¯s manager, Ms. Jinsli or the bodyguard, George?¡±


    This guy stared. Now that he knew the names of Ryan''s agent and bodyguard, it didn''t look like a lie, so he yelled a few words into the walkie-talkie.


    Soon, there was a chuckle of high heels, Pie Kingsley walked to the door, looked at the girl and said, "Nat, you finally came, Ryan thought you were not coming."

 Chapter 92： Sign-off meeting three

    In his previous life, Ryan also participated in the signing of singers. Those little famous but bullish little singers, all of whom were ill at desk, mechanically signed their names on records. , Seldom interact with fans, they just sell records for the sake of selling records.


    Fans and popularity need to be managed carefully. Looking at the long queue and starting to move towards him, Ryan shook his wrist and was ready to fight a protracted war, but his face was always bright. Smile.


    The first person in the queue quickly came to the signing table. This was a boy about sixteen years old. From his tousled hair and dark eye circles, it can be seen that the queue time definitely did not start today.


    "Hello, thank you for your support!" After receiving the record, Ryan signed his name on it and asked with a smile, "Can you tell me your name? When did you come?"


    "Oh, Nick...Nick Maravich." The boy was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to the other boy behind, "The two of us came here yesterday evening, taking turns to line up here."


    "Thank you, Nick, I will remember you." Ryan stretched out his hand, and the boy hurried over and shook his hand, the excitement in his expression could no longer be suppressed.


    "Well, Nick, this is the first record I checked out as a singer." He wrote a special ¡®NO.1¡¯ behind his signature.


    "Wow~" Nick yelled in excitement.


    Until then everyone realized that this is the first time Ryan Jenkins has signed out a record? I personally made a mark on it, and the commemorative significance is self-evident.


    Others looked at Nick¡¯s eyes, and they gradually started to turn red. If it weren¡¯t for their idol sitting in front of them and the staff on both sides to maintain order, they would definitely rush to grab the record and store it as the most precious gift. .


    "I will save this record, thank you, Ryan, I will always support you!" Nick almost jumped back to the place where the record was sold, shouting loudly, "Quick, I want another record! No! No, no, I want five! I want to give one to each of my father, mother, grandpa, and grandma!"


    No one is surprised, if they can, they are willing to use ten...no, one hundred for the one in Nick''s hands.


    Ryan¡¯s signature speed is not fast. Strictly speaking, it¡¯s a bit slow. He doesn¡¯t care about the numbers signed and sold at all. He pays more attention to the communication with fans. After signing, most of them will talk to them, or at least say. A sentence of''Thank you for your support'' or''You are the biggest motivation for my creation''.


    Moreover, he is not just signing a signature. After signing, most of them will write a short blessing sentence, and try to keep the same. Fortunately, he has accumulated a lot of vocabulary in his writing over the years, and his brain will not get stuck in a short time.


    Frankly speaking, Ryan has accumulated a huge popularity in the past two years, and most of his supporters are teenagers. These people have a strong ability to accept new things and can easily turn into fans.


    Especially, he faces the image of powerful bullying and daring to fight back. He has a very appetite for young people.


    Fortunately, male fans say that it¡¯s probably a gender relationship. Even if they are excited, most of them shook their hands or patted his arm, but those crazy girls couldn¡¯t stop them, and this is one of the most open places in New York and North America. , Their requests are strange.


    Ryan just finished signing a record, its owner suddenly lowered the low-collar sweater, revealing a white.


    This girl looks very fresh, but what she says is completely opposite to her appearance. She pointed to the pink bar and said, "Ryan, can you sign here for me?"


    After finishing speaking, he blinked his eyes, looking innocent and innocent.


    "..." Ryan was speechless, but fortunately the staff was still clever, took the girl aside and persuaded him to leave.


    The girl''s behavior seemed to inspire others, and soon, another girl made a serious request.


    "Ryan, my name is Lilith..."


    "Lilith, okay. Nice to meet you!" Ryan gradually realized that these female fans are the scariest place, and quickly wrote "I wish you as beautiful as an angel."


    The girl named Lilith did not leave after receiving the record, but asked timidly, "Ryan...Ryan, I...may I give you a kiss?"


    "Dear..." Ryan subconsciously rubbed his cheek, and left behind the girl. She seemed to see a female pervert with green light in her eyes, "Sorry, no!"


    Lilith turned and left with a little disappointment. Ryan was relieved, but after seeing far more girls in the team than boys, she realized that today would be a severe test.


    Good Uncle Loli, Yu Jie Ai Zhengtai, the former concept has been deeply rooted in the popular support with the spread of "Lolita", but the latter concept may not have been formed yet.


    But European and American girls generally mature prematurely. These fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls are at the craziest age. In their eyes, Ryan is undoubtedly a young lady who is beginning to mature, or a talented girl who looks like a handsome and delicious lady!


    Okay, you won''t sign the bar for us, won''t you let us kiss you? Well, if you can''t attack it, let''s sneak attack.


    Soon, a bold girl gave a demonstration to the latecomers.


    This is a blond girl of about sixteen years old, tall and sexy. When Ryan was focusing on signing the record, she suddenly leaned over the signing table, taking advantage of her height, and concealing her ears. If she understands-she kissed Ryan''s cheek lightly, leaving behind a red lipstick.


    "You..." When Ryan realized that it was too late, he rubbed his face, his eyes were wide, and I was eaten tofu like this? Is there any reason?


    "Thank you, Ryan, my name is Charlie!" The girl seemed to be unsure, she wanted to come over again.


    The staff who was stunned by the side finally reacted and quickly pulled her aside. Ryan rolled his eyes and cursed in his heart. Charlie is still the same, Charles I is about the same!


    The role of example is huge. The girls who come from behind are eager to try, and Ryan has increased his vigilance. If every female fan kisses him on the cheek, he believes that he will definitely become a pig head.


    But only Thousand Days is a thief, but there is no reason for Thousand Days to guard against thieves. Occasionally, some sneak attackers will succeed. Fortunately, Jin Sili seems to have been prepared, always wipe the lip marks on his face the first time.


    George stood by the table. His handsome face distracted many people. From time to time, the voice of a girl''s discussion reached Ryan''s ears, "Wow, who is that? More than Tom Cruise Handsome."


    "Tom Cruise? Who is he? Don''t mention him here, he is our mortal enemy!" her companion reminded.


    The girl hurriedly covered her mouth and found that people around her were glaring at her.


    "It looks like Ryan''s bodyguard, wow, I didn''t expect that Ryan is not only handsome, but also the bodyguard. I really love him!"


    "I must let him sign my underwear!"


    Ryan¡¯s face tended to turn black, but then another accident appeared. In everyone¡¯s eyes, a middle-aged man with a heavy backpack walked to the signing table and put the record in his hand. On the table, then, I opened the backpack and took out one novel after another.


    "Ryan, I have three children, and they are all fans of your book...and fans." The authenticity of the latter word is obviously open to question. "They always want your signature, but you have never held a novel signing event. , I have to get it here, you don''t mind, do you?"


    Mind? Ryan really doesn¡¯t mind, it¡¯s just the staff of Hollywood Records, who looked embarrassed, especially John Burns. If it¡¯s not a public place, he would definitely rush up, put those books back into his backpack, and put the other party. Get out.


    What''s the matter, is it clearly here to smash the scene? This is his true thoughts, um... After going back, I need to encourage Ryan to focus on music!


    The signing event lasted for nearly three and a half hours. This was standard physical work. With Ryan¡¯s physical condition, I felt tired, and there was a sore tingle of protest from his wrist. Fortunately, he is usually an expert in pens~ www.novelhall.com~ This is just a trivial matter.


    After more than three hours, only less than two thousand signed out. The efficiency is really low, but most of the people who got the autographs were very satisfied. Not only did they get the signature of Ryan, but they could also have a brief exchange with the idol. This is already much better than them The expectations are gone.


    As for those who didn''t get the signature, the record company had prepared a small gift early, which was not expensive, but it was able to win people''s hearts.


    Ryan continued to rub his face as he walked towards the lounge. A total of four or five people successfully attacked him.


    He feels that his face is really about to become a pig.


    Fortunately, I am a minor now, and God knows if there will be such a dying brain fan when I grow up. Don''t say too much of that, as long as there is one, I can''t stand it.


    "I think I must wear a mask for the next signing event." Ryan complained.


    "My dear, this shows that you are too popular." Jinsili couldn''t help laughing. In her opinion, Ryan was a bit too conservative, and the girls'' behavior couldn''t be more normal.


    "Ryan, we must explain in advance when we sign for the next time we only sign records!" Burns said with a headache, covering his forehead, "God, I saw the novels that those people took out of their bags. I really want to drive them out!"


    "Well, John, you can go to the Alien Body Publishing House for sponsorship fees." Ryan''s headaches are still those crazy female fans. "Pat, if they lift up their skirts, let me put them on their panties. What should I do with the signature?"


    This problem is really serious!

 Chapter 93： lounge

    Christine didn''t expect that the girl would take them into the record store with ease. From her behavior, it can be seen that she really seems to be a friend of Ryan Jenkins.


    The female agent took them into the lounge and then left. Kristen could only wait here boringly, because the girl who brought them in had very few words, just reading a book about psychology. books.


    However, Christine is still very excited. There are many musical instruments here, and there are also many things used by boys. If not surprisingly, they should be used by Ryan Jenkins. Both she and Larry would want to take it. Come and take a look, but I understand that this is not appropriate.


    Fortunately, as long as you wait for a while, you can get close to the idols. Compared with this, the others are not worth mentioning, are they?


    "Hey, what''s your name?" Now, Christine remembered that she didn''t know the girl''s name.


    "Natalie Herschel." The girl''s voice was indifferent and proud.


    Christine is also a proud and conceited person, shrugged and stopped talking at all.


    After a long time, the door of the lounge was pushed open from the outside, and then a familiar male voice rang, "Hey, Nat, it''s nice to meet you!"


    Natalie stood up at this moment, with a bright smile on her face, obviously in a good mood.


    Ryan quickly stepped forward and gave the girl a hug. Natalie deliberately pressed his forehead against his chin. When the two separated, they laughed at the same time.


    "Um... Nat, you have grown taller." Ryan gestured to the opponent''s size, and he already had Matilda''s eight-point demeanor.


    Then, he deliberately sighed and said, "Unfortunately, it''s still a lot shorter than me!"


    "Really?" Natalie grinds her teeth, with thorns in her words, "It''s tall and thin, like a bamboo pole!"


    The Chinese used for the word ¡®bamboo pole¡¯.


    "Bamboo pole?" Ryan opened his eyes, curled his arms to pose as a strong man, "Have you seen me such a strong bamboo pole?"


    Jinsli rolled her eyes. She knew that if the two of them were allowed to continue, it would definitely turn into a dispute. She hurriedly said, "Nate, didn''t you bring two friends over here?"


    "Friends?" Ryan was a little curious, did Natalie make new friends? This is rare.


    "Not my friend, but your fan."


    Natalie whispered a few words, and Ryan quickly understood what was going on. Now that the other party is here, the signature is just a trivial matter.


    "Rui...Ryan..."


    Christine was obviously a little nervous, and they were talking intermittently, "Can...can you...can, give us...signature?"


    "Of course it''s okay." Ryan laughed, and the sunny smile relaxed the nervous girl a lot. "Don''t be nervous, you see, I also have two eyes and a nose. Like you, I am not a monster."


    The two girls laughed at once, and Larryl quickly took out the autographed book, only to realize that he hadn''t bought the record yet, and couldn''t help but feel embarrassed.


    "It''s okay." Ryan roughly guessed the reason, and whispered a few words to Burns, he nodded and ordered the staff to bring two records.


    Ryan asked Larryl¡¯s name, signed and wrote congratulations quickly, then handed it to her, and looked at another blonde girl.


    "Can you tell me your name?" Seeing the girl who was taking out a novel from her backpack, Ryan scratched her head.


    "Christine..." It was probably Ryan''s friendly attitude, and the girl gradually calmed down, "My full name? Christina Aguilera."


    "Well, Christina Aguilera." Ryan did not refuse, and marked on the record and several novels, "I wish every dream of you will come true!"


    "Thank you, Ryan." Christine grew courageous, and after receiving the novel and record, he even gave Ryan a light hug.


    Natalie stood behind Ryan, frowned slightly, she regretted bringing them in.


    "you are welcome."


    Ryan saw that the two girls were actually planning to pay for it, and quickly stopped, "It''s just two records, as a gift from me."


    meanie! I have never seen you give me a gift! Natalie wrinkled her nose.


    "Well... how can we take a photo?" Christine asked timidly.


    "Okay." Ryan sighed, these little girls are really troublesome.


    Looking at the camera that the other party took out of the backpack, Ryan feels that he has been so crazy to chase stars these years?


    He simply pulled Natalie over and asked the staff on one side to take two group photos.


    Now, the two girls are finally satisfied. Compared with the people who have been in line for so long, they have gained so much... Well, it is beyond the original imagination.


    It¡¯s just that Ryan didn¡¯t expect that the trouble was not over yet, the girl named Christine spoke again, ¡°Ryan, I¡¯m selected for the Mickey Mouse Club, and I¡¯ll go to Hollywood Records soon. Can I see you? ?"


    "Mickey Mouse Club?" Ryan frowned. He had heard that this was a concert program co-organized by Disney TV and Hollywood Records.


    "We''ll meet if we get the chance." Ryan just gave a vague answer, he didn''t want to ask for trouble.


    "Okay, Ryan." Christine took Larryl who looked back three times and waved to him, led by a staff member, walked outside, "Ryan, see you in Los Angeles."


    It¡¯s better not to see it. It¡¯s good to have fanatical fan worship, but it¡¯s a headache to be too close to the fans. Ryan rubbed his forehead. This is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It¡¯s better to keep your distance.


    It''s better for Nat, except for a few occasional sarcasm, there is never any mess.


    "Nate, do you need me to sign for you?" Ryan leaned over as Natalie was playing with the record.


    "Excuse me, I have no interest in pop music." Natalie curled her lips, but received the record in her bag with a mistake.


    "Let''s go, let''s go back to the hotel to talk about something." Ryan walked out of the lounge first.


    Sitting in a black Cadillac, it is not easy to leave smoothly. A large number of fans gathered on both sides of the road, blocking the road ahead of the car tightly, and many people held Ryan¡¯s high. The poster, shouting his name.


    Even crazier people walked to the car and slapped the window hard.


    Needless to say Jinsli, Ryan also understands that you must not put down the car window at this time, otherwise only God will know what actions these crazy fans will do.


    "Damn, I really shouldn''t accompany you back to the hotel, I should go straight home." Natalie sat beside him, a little helpless.


    "Dear Nat, you are so sad to say that." Ryan made a wounded look, "Can I understand that you are jealous?"


    "Jealous?" Natalie opened her eyes, "I will be jealous of you? Don''t be kidding, Ryan, you are just a fool in my eyes!"


    "Silly... idiot?" Ryan stared at Natalie closely, like an angry bear about to explode. "Dear Nat, you broke the sincerity of a teenager."


    "Let''s come." Natalie pushed Ryan''s face back.


    was stuck on the road for nearly half an hour, with the help of the staff, the car finally started slowly, Ryan leaned on the back seat, enjoying Natalie''s massage service.


    Although Natalie said fiercely, she knew that Ryan must be very tired, especially when she saw him shaking his wrist, she took the initiative to pull his right hand over and knead it gently, although the technique was not very good, But the rare heart made Ryan feel a lot more comfortable.


    Back at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, there was still no peace. Dozens of reporters gathered at the door of the hotel. Long guns and short cannons were erected earlier. Obviously, he will experience a sea of ??problems again.


    Ryan took the lead to get out of the car and attracted the attention of the media so that Natalie could enter the hotel through the side entrance. However, facing the questions raised by the reporter, she avoided answering and rushed into the hotel lobby.


    This is the restricted area for reporters. Ryan joined Natalie and hurriedly returned to the suite. He is not tired physically and mentally.


    "Take whatever you want to drink, I want to take a good rest."


    The two of them have never been polite. Ryan simply fell on the sofa and asked in a dull voice, "Nat, I heard Pat said that you agreed to participate in the filming of "Schindler''s List". ?"


    "Well That''s right." Natalie nodded, "Didn''t Pater say that you will also go to Poland."


    "Yes." Ryan got up from the sofa, "The old man Spielberg called me several times and urged me to go to Poland."


    "Push you to Poland?" Natalie is puzzled, yes, Ryan is very talented, but he won''t let Spielberg invite him personally, right?


    "Don''t forget, Spielberg is still the director of "Jurassic Park", um...some twists...that''s it." Ryan roughly talked about the affairs between Universal Pictures and Spielberg. , "To enter a circle, you must follow the rules of the game in a circle."


    "This circle is so complicated!" Natalie frowned.


    "It''s not only in this circle, but in any industry in this country. Benefits come first." Ryan is very popular. Hollywood. From the beginning to the end, it is actually a very realistic vanity fair. As long as you follow the rules of the game, If you come to benefit, you will be respected, otherwise you can only stand aside.


    Nat I will protect you! This thought flashed through his mind.


    "By the way, Nat, I have written the script for you." Ryan remembered the most important thing.


    "Really?" Natalie was interested, "Hurry up, show me."


    Ryan went back to the bedroom, found the manuscript of "Killer Leon", and gave it to Natalie.


    ...... I take leave today to go on a blind date, and the second one will be a little later, everyone, please forgive me~~ ask for collection~ ask for recommendation~

 Chapter 94： Food fight

    Sitting quietly on the chair, Natalie opened the script. The first thing that caught my eye was a picture. In the picture was a thin girl in a striped short-sleeved shirt. The dark brown bob head covered the sad face, bright. There are two rows of clear tears hanging under the eyes, and the silver-white sun-shaped pendant on the neck is very conspicuous.


    Matilda? this is me? This girl is clearly what she looks like.


    Natalie did not ask, but continued to look through it. There were more than a dozen sketches behind, most of which were based on her blueprints. There were also a few scenes where she met a man with a big nose and a tall man looking at each other.


    Although the level of the paintings is not very high, you can still distinguish the looks of the characters. I don¡¯t know why, after seeing these paintings, Natalie unconsciously remembered the "Lolita" that she had peeked at. Book.


    Maybe it''s just my illusion, that annoying guy shouldn''t be so boring. Natalie shook her head and opened the text of the script.


    Gangster? Killer? Action scene? Her brows frowned, and she remembered that the name of the script was "Killer Leon." Isn''t it normal to have such a scene?


    As an extremely smart girl, she reads very fast, and finally saw Matilda appear. The miserable experience of this precocious girl instantly attracted her, especially the few lines in it, which were very well written.


    Life is so painful? Or is it only in childhood? This is so painful!


    seems to have the level of "Sixth Sense", yes, this guy didn''t perfuse her! Natalie pulled out a smile. She was able to write this kind of thoughtful work, but she had to move closer to commercialization, for fear that others would not be able to smell the copper smell on him!


    Correct! It''s the smell of copper! She remembered this word in Chinese.


    Natalie was in a happy mood and felt that it was a wise choice to play such a role. However, the good times did not last long. As the plot progressed, her brows wrinkled, especially seeing Leon and Matilda. After the emotional exchange, I suddenly realized that Matilda is clearly a strong and alternative Lolita!


    Before she knew it, her mouth rose up, her cheeks bulged, and she began to browse through ten lines. The more she looked at it, the more conflicted she felt. She appeared in many stage plays and read numerous scripts, especially when she knew Ryan. Later, every script he wrote will mail her an attachment, somewhat insightful.


    The two roles of Leon and Matilda are very good, especially Matilda, her character, her characteristics are almost tailored for her, but why, the relationship between her and Leon...


    Ok! She admits that without this relationship, the script will be at most mid-level, just the **** Ryan Jenkins! This is the script he keeps preparing for himself?


    Natalie scratched her face and closed the script, Ryan leaned over and asked, "Nat..."


    "Ryan, what are you thinking about? Did you take a peek at "Lolita"?" Before the other party had finished speaking, Natalie asked.


    "Ah... Lolita..." Ryan was really asked by Natalie, and then he reacted, "Nat, you actually peeped at Lolita!"


    "..." Natalie opened her mouth and quickly changed the subject, "Ryan, what are you thinking? Oh my God, a love story between a twelve-year-old girl and a middle-aged killer, are you crazy?"


    "Come on, Nat, this is just a fairy tale, a fairy tale about a killer." Ryan waved his hand and started running the train. "You should be able to see that between Matilda and Leon, it is The complex feelings mixed with gratitude, paternal love, friendship and love are not pure love."


    "I promise, in the eyes of most people, there is a kind of unfaithful love between them." How could Natalie easily believe his nonsense.


    "Well, let''s be honest, Nat, do you want to play Matilda?" Ryan simply went straight into it, and all the stubbornness was just a trivial matter.


    "This..." Natalie hesitated. To be honest, this role really attracted her.


    "Let''s put it this way, Nat, as long as you perform well, those guys will definitely put the name of acting genius on you." Ryan simply used the temptation, and based on his past performance, it was quite convincing.


    Acting genius? Natalie''s heart moved. She could never surpass this guy in the story, writing, and music in her life. The only thing that can beat him is acting. She always has to overwhelm him in some way, right?


    Besides, after so many years of training, isn¡¯t it just an opportunity to wait? Ryan is now her best friend. If the status difference between the two is too far, it will definitely affect future contacts. She doesn''t want to lose her only friend.


    It''s just that she always feels weird, but she can''t tell what''s wrong. It feels like Ryan has given her a set and let her drill in willingly.


    Ryan didn''t say anything, Natalie was obviously moved, and she would have made her own choice when there was news from the French side.


    The two have known each other for more than two years, one letter a week and two phone calls, almost never interrupted. He doesn¡¯t believe the lie in the past life¡ªmy future is in Jerusalem, not Hollywood¡ªno one knows better than him, this girl What kind of ideals or...ambitions she has, even her parents are no exception.


    It was getting late, after hanging up a call to Mrs. Shelly, Ryan and Natalie left the room and walked towards the hotel restaurant.


    Mrs. Shelly knew that the two were the only friends of the same age, and they hadn¡¯t seen each other for a long time. There must be a lot to say, but she asked to fight less, and she must send Natalie back before ten o¡¯clock.


    Ryan could not help but scratch his head. He also knew that Westerners are precocious, and it is not uncommon to have boyfriends and girlfriends since November 12, and his friendship with Natalie is unusual, Mrs. Shelly. It''s normal to be worried.


    It¡¯s just that he really doesn¡¯t have that kind of thinking right now, at least he himself thinks so, look at Natalie, she is thin and weak, almost skinny...


    Well, it''s still a cute Lolita, but he won''t be such a beast, after all, this is his best friend.


    Waldorf Astoria¡¯s western restaurant has a wide variety of meals, and the chef¡¯s level is also very high. Unfortunately, there are not many types of food suitable for Natalie. Many Western foods are mostly added with animal fats, although vegetarians are very vegan. Common, but as harsh as the Natalie family, it is rare.


    Fruit salad, vegan cheese bread, mashed potatoes, apple pie, this is Natalie¡¯s food. Ryan sat opposite her. The staple food in front of her was ten mature steak and roast lamb leg. He looked at Natalie. Li''s food has the urge to order a whole roast leg of lamb for her.


    "Nate, why do you have to stick to a vegetarian diet?" Ryan felt that it was a crime to enjoy the food and let his friends eat the tasteless food.


    "Dad''s request, he said, this is Jewish tradition." Natalie shrugged indifferently.


    Ryan rolled his eyes. He couldn''t understand. Natalie is a very assertive girl. In most things, her father could not force her, such as signing an agent contract with Jinsli. Why? What happened to the food, she became a good and obedient daughter?


    "I don''t think vegetarian food is bad either." Natalie added.


    "Don''t you think you are too thin?" Ryan pointed to her thin arm. "Our age is a critical period of development. Plant protein cannot completely replace animal protein. This will affect your growth. I I can guarantee, Nat, if you only insist on being a vegetarian, when you grow up, at most I will be as tall as I am now."


    "Five feet, five inches?" Natalie rolled her eyes, "I think this height is pretty good."


    "Okay?" Ryan curled his lips, deliberately forked a delicious steak, and stuffed it into his mouth in slow motion. Unfortunately, Natalie turned a blind eye, "I''m telling you, Nat, I''ll be the least since I grow up. It will be six feet tall, and you will stand tall in front of me by then, so don''t cry."


    "I can wear high heels." Natalie''s reasons are endless. "Besides, Ryan, what do women grow up to do? Um... such as Nicole, don''t mind..."


    Ryan made a gesture to continue, and Natalie continued, "Like Nicole, she is a little too tall. I think it¡¯s better for women to be no more than five feet and seven inches."


    He scratched his head a little. He obviously wanted to persuade her not to insist on vegetarianism. Why did she talk about height, and she took the initiative in the topic.


    In fact, Ryan wants to tell her that if you continue to adhere to strict vegetarianism, height may not be a big problem, but in the future, **** will be B or even A at most.


    But can you say that? If so, with Natalie''s personality, she would definitely pin that plate of fruit salad on his face. UU reading www. uukanshu.com


    Ryan did not give up and continued to persuade, "Nate, would you like some lamb? This is an authentic French roast leg of lamb."


    After finishing speaking, he cut off a piece and put it in his mouth, showing a somewhat intoxicated appearance.


    "Really?" Natalie gave him a pair of eyes, "Ryan, I have heard from nutrition experts that people who eat too much meat will not only have rough skin, but also have peculiar smells!"


    "Smell?" Ryan stared.


    "Really." Natalie quietly made a V sign under the table and continued, "So, you should try to be a vegetarian!"


    "Vegetarianism?" Ryan shook his head without even thinking about it. Is there anything more terrifying than not being able to eat meat? He still wants to taste the delicacies of the world in this life.


    Even if Natalie is smart enough, she is still young. She has a clever tongue to face Ryan, and she has only insisted on strict vegetarianism for a few years. Under the deceit of him, she is still small. I tasted some mutton leg. Her expression was not repulsive. In exchange, Ryan also ate a lot of fruit salad and vegan bread.


    After dinner, the two chatted for a while, Ryan called an assistant and asked her to drive Natalie back.


    Even though Natalie robbed him of the leading topic at dinner, Ryan was still very happy. Strict vegans are the most annoying. Now there are gaps in the corner. There is always a day to be able to move, right?


    ...Sorry, I overplayed it yesterday, and it¡¯s almost 1 o¡¯clock when I got home. The chapter owed will be made up today. Thank you for your support~~

 Chapter 95： Signed itinerary

    In order to grab a certain share from the record market and to enable Hollywood record companies to truly rise, Walt Disney has formulated a huge publicity plan, putting a large number of advertisements on radio stations, newspapers and magazines, and even its own Disney TV station. Pulled it out, produced several special programs in the evening file, and began to play the behind-the-scenes footage of making this album.


    Even under the personal intervention of Michael Eisner, the media dragged out the grievances between Ryan Jenkins and Tom Cruise. Not to mention, the grudges and grievances between these stars are always out of date. , The effect is surprisingly good.


    "We should be grateful to Mr. Tom Cruise. Perhaps it is because of his aggressive posture that Ryan Jenkins exploded with his brilliant musical talent and counterattacked him with songs, which brought us this An outstanding solo album."


    This is a report in the California Independent. Although anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is sensationalism, it is very refreshing.


    No one will know what Tom Cruise would think of returning to Los Angeles from the Caribbean.


    Now that he has signed a record contract with Hollywood Records, Ryan will naturally do his part and fully cooperate with the company''s publicity plan. Since he is less than sixteen years old, the record contract can only be signed one by one. The trouble is not from the media and fans, but from the Children¡¯s Association.


    As one of the most famous minors in the United States, Ryan is of course the focus of the Children¡¯s Association. From the working hours that Disney arranges for him to his learning progress, they all check the content.


    This can be regarded as a happy trouble. After all, having such an association pays attention from time to time, before he is a minor, it will reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.


    Hollywood Records¡¯ signing plan starts from New York and ends in Los Angeles, from east to west, through carefully selected big cities, with Ryan¡¯s strong personal appeal and massive advertising to promote record sales.


    In fact, in the minds of John Burns and Reed Miles, there is an idea that no one else knows, that is, as much as possible to let Ryan¡¯s book fans and movie fans become his fans at the same time, not too many, as long as If half of the people can buy this album, the sales will reach a terrifying number.


    After two stops in Boston and Philadelphia, Ryan and his team came to Nashville, the national music mecca. The Tennessee Music Center, where the signing was held, gathered nearly 10,000 people.


    Now that I have come to the sacred place of rural folk songs, my repertoire is naturally indispensable to country-style songs.


    "Hello friends from Nashville and Tennessee, I didn¡¯t expect so many people to come today. Your enthusiasm made me feel suffocated and I will be speechless. If that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s use music. Come and communicate!"


    Ryan is still a long-sleeved T-shirt, dressed with jeans and shoes, and the whole person''s temperament is unusually cordial. ""Climb", let us climb to the highest peak of life together!"


    After finishing speaking, he took the lead in playing the acoustic guitar in his hand, and the heavy tune rang with jumping power.


    "Life is like climbing. The road ahead is always full of obstacles. People who never give up will run forward with their heads held high until they reach the highest and most beautiful place and reach the highest peak in life. Here are the strongest. Airflow, mottled rocks here, cold air here, and the joy of challenge and victory... Life is climbing, as long as you work hard, you will always succeed..."


    "Wow~"


    At the moment when the singing fell, there was almost crazy applause and cheers from the audience. In their opinion, just like those critics commented, this inspirational song is exactly what Ryan Jenkins has in the past twelve years. The best summary.


    Besides, this song is so beautiful and so inspiring!


    "Ryan! Ryan!"


    The shouts under the stage became more and more crazy, and Ryan''s poster was held high above their heads, forming an ocean.


    After the singing, it was naturally signed. As before, Ryan still maintained a communicative signature style. The benefits of this are obvious. After passing through three cities, his reputation for kindness, kindness, and lack of prestige has been established. It spreads among fans.


    Some fans even come to line up two days in advance in order to get the first lottery in their city.


    Of course, the disadvantage of this is also obvious, that is, fans and fans have become more and more courageous, and incidents similar to female fans'' sneak attacks are endless, which makes people hard to guard against.


    Ryan once complained to Natalie on the phone, but he didn''t expect to make the girl ridicule for a while.


    "Ryan Jenkins, you are obviously showing off, well, you won''t have to worry about having a girlfriend in the future."


    Find my fans to be my girlfriend, unless I''m crazy! Ryan didn''t care much.


    The rest of his vacation will inevitably be spent on the go. Sometimes he will change two or three cities a week. Fortunately, he is physically strong and has much more energy than ordinary people. Otherwise, he will definitely be overwhelmed.


    Hollywood Records can only be regarded as a lower-middle music company, but it is backed by the mountain of Disney, and as the only master singer, Ryan has enjoyed many special cares, such as the company mobilizing most of its resources. Investing in him alone is absolutely unimaginable in a big record company.


    Of course, the premise of all this is that the company sees his full musical talent and strong influence among young people, which can bring real benefits.


    Just a week later, the results created by the album "Ryan Jenkins" made Disney and the Hollywood record company smile.


    After the first week, the record easily sold more than 645,500 copies, making other new singers and even famous singers cover their faces and cry.


    Ok! No one would think that Ryan Jenkins is a newcomer, even if this is the first album in his life.


    "What, it didn''t break millions in the first week?" After hearing the news, Ryan''s eyes widened, and Burns was taken aback for a while.


    He wanted to tell him that this is 640,000! Not 64,000! Break one million in the first week? What are you thinking, or do you think you are Michael Jackson now?


    This is no wonder Ryan, his exposure to European and American music in his previous life is the new century, and it is not uncommon for famous singers to break 100 in the first week.


    However, seeing Burns''s smug look on his face, Ryan understood it, and the result seemed to be quite good.


    With the release of the album, the record company sent another single to the charts, but instead of a song copied by Ryan, it was the original "Climb".


    After the new issue of the bulletin board came out, although this song did not squeeze Whitney Houston¡¯s "IWillAlwaysLoveYou" to the first place, it squeezed Ryan¡¯s other song "IBelieveICanFly" from the second place. Occupy the throne of runner-up.


    Ryan¡¯s itinerary is still going on. His vacation time is limited. Once school starts, the Children¡¯s Association will definitely come over and chirping. Besides, Spielberg called from Poland to inform him that it is best to go to Krakow at the end of February. One trip, the movie is likely to be officially launched in March.


    Ryan had to admire him. Not only did Spielberg drive himself crazy for this movie, but the horror team was almost driven crazy. More than two months of preparation time, for such a movie. In terms of how nervous it is!


    Of course, he has planned this for nearly ten years and must have done a lot of preliminary work. Ryan has also heard that since last December, part of his team has actually gone to Poland. Otherwise, it would be so fast. Speed, can only say that he invited God to help.


    Ryan passed through one city after another. After the second week, not only did his record sales have not decreased, but because of the good word-of-mouth reputation, Ryan jumped up again, winning more than 71,1300 copies. Sales.


    Two weeks later, the record has successfully sold more than 1 million copies. In a broad sense, Ryan is also considered a platinum singer, but this number has to be certified by the National Recording Association.


    Another huge surprise came from the bulletin board. After occupying the top spot for more than ten weeks, "IWillAlwaysLoveYou" finally gave up the championship, watching another song by the same author, "Climbing" occupy the first position. .


    "Whether it is the tune or the lyrics, climbing is permeated with the taste of persisting in a difficult situation and striving to make progress. It is so inspiring. This is the best inspirational song since entering the 90s, there is no one!


    -"Billboard" Fein Rutgers


    "Throughout the album, Ryan tried several styles of music. Whether it''s pop, country, or R&B, he is very familiar with it, and he is very familiar with it, although because of the relationship between age and vocal cords, he still has some singing skills. Small flaws are already very rare. What''s more, all the songs in the album are arranged by him enough to show his superb musical talent. This is a very rare album. Brings a great surprise, in short, you will never regret the money you paid out!"


    -"Rolling Stone"


    "We don¡¯t want to discuss how good this album is. As long as anyone who has heard it knows how beautiful the songs are. What we want to say is the song "Climb". This inspirational song is not exactly Ryan Jenkins. Is he a portrayal of life? He is the representative of the American Dream! As long as you persist, you will succeed!"


    -"Los Angeles Times" Mick Taylor


    Most of the media praised the album. After all, apart from the weird "he", other songs, even Ryan''s original songs, have their own characteristics, especially with a strong vocal reputation.


    At the same time, some people made unreasonably worried voices.


    "Ryan''s talent in art is unquestionable, but human energy is limited after all. After fiction writing, script writing, and film performance are involved, Ryan has added a foot to pop music. We are very worried about this. Distract his energy. After all, there is only one Barbra Streisand in Hollywood, and too much involvement in too many artistic fields may not be good for his growth."


    "Also, everyone, don''t forget, Ryan is a student. If things go on like this, we suspect that his academic performance will plummet!"


    Ryan read this report on the plane and threw it aside. They should take care of their children first!


    ...The second one~~~ ask for recommendation, ask for collection~~ there will be another one in the evening.

 Chapter 96： Back to Los Angeles

    After a busy trip around the United States, Ryan returned to Los Angeles. Four weeks have passed since the release of the album. The sales volume of the album was close to 2.4 million. This was a very good result in the early 1990s.


    The City of Angels is Ryan¡¯s base camp, one of the most concentrated places for fans, and the last stop for his signing and promotion. Disney held a huge event, not only arranged routine signings, but also let the banners Disney¡¯s TV station broadcasted the entire event live.


    The celebrities who have made friends with Ryan and Nicole, as long as they can spare the time, almost all come to Santa Monica Commercial Plaza. Even if most people just stop and greet, they also attract good multimedia eyes.


    Near the stage of ¡¡¡¡ square, nearly 20,000 people gathered. If someone who doesn¡¯t know sees it, they might think that a certain first-line singer is holding a solo concert.


    Similarly, there are thousands of people waiting in line for signing.


    For this reason, the Los Angeles County Police Department had to deploy a large number of people to maintain order. Most of these people are energetic teenagers. God knows what they will do when they are excited.


    Dozens of reporters either waited off the stage or waited at the door of the record store. They were indeed worthy of their trip. They photographed many celebrities.


    "Look, look!" a reporter said, pointing to the sturdy man who got out of the car, "Arnold Schwarzenegger! He is here too."


    "Idiot, of course he will come." His colleague said with disdainful eyes, pressing the shutter, and said, "Have you heard that Ryan wrote an action script specifically for Arnold. It is said that James Cameron Will be in charge of the guiding tube again."


    "Wow~ It''s Nicole Kidman, and Judy Foster!"


    "Nicole! Nicole!"


    After Nicole and Judy Foster got out of the car hand in hand, the fans in the square made a neat shout. Obviously, Aiwu and Wu, they also have a good impression of the idol¡¯s foster sister.


    "Who is that handsome man?"


    Someone saw a strange man walking into the record shop with two beauties, looking a little strange.


    "Brad Pitt! The actor in Nicole''s new play!" A well-informed person reminded.


    "David Fincher, the ghost director is also here. By the way, I heard that he will direct Ryan''s first MV."


    "What about Drew Barrymore? She claimed to be Ryan''s No. 1 fan a few days ago, why didn''t she see her?" A reporter asked.


    In the record store, Ryan greeted the people who came to cheer one by one, and discussed the questions on the stage with the female host of Disney TV, reminding her not to ask too much questions.


    "Susan, don''t ask any more questions about Tom Cruise." He reminded.


    "Okay." Susan smiled unkindly, "But, Ryan, don''t think about letting me let you go."


    Ryan can only sigh. None of the hosts of these talk shows are fuel-efficient lamps. He came to Nicole Kidman and interrupted the conversation between her and David Fincher.


    "Sorry, Nicole, I can''t attend your premiere."


    "Honey, it''s okay." Nicole gently rubbed his short hair.


    After today¡¯s event is over, within a few days, Ryan will head to London. I don¡¯t know what the publisher thinks, and the signing of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" will be held there.


    Nicole Kidman¡¯s new movie "Yihai Xiongfeng" will premiere in late February. After a short stay in London, Ryan has to go to Poland, but he can''t make it back anyway.


    In the band¡¯s passionate music, Ryan stepped onto the stage, and tens of thousands of fans under the stage made earth-shattering shouts.


    Ryan put the baseball cap back on, took off the microphone and walked to the front of the stage. His right index finger pointed diagonally to the front, from left to center to right, and pointed to everyone. Whenever he pointed his finger in one direction, he shouted there. The sound will go straight into the sky, it seems that the world is trembling for it.


    "Oh, I finally returned to California and returned to Los Angeles. I had prepared a lot of things to say. I wanted to greet you in the most enthusiastic way and wave to you, but... but I can''t do it!"


    The audience fell silent for an instant, and many people felt strange and did not understand why Ryan said that.


    "Yes, I really can''t do it! At least not now, not in Los Angeles, here...no, because this is...home! This is my home, with my favorite people, and my strongest Supporter!"


    Ryan¡¯s voice was slightly choked, and it seemed a bit agitated. The tens of thousands of fans in the audience also understood. The teenagers on the stage have never forgotten that he is a Los Angeles native, he is their own person!


    It¡¯s just that these people have forgotten that the boy on stage is not only a singer, but also an acting master who has won an Oscar for best supporting actor.


    Nicole Kidman stood behind the stage and rolled his eyes without a trace. Only she knew that Ryan had no feelings for Los Angeles at all.


    "Well, it''s not as good as a popular song, "Climbing"!" Ryan beckoned to the band behind.


    After the three songs of "Climbing", "Lemon Tree" and "Because of You", the Disney hostess stepped onto the stage, and after a brief introduction of herself, she pointed the microphone at Ryan.


    "Ryan, do you know how many people are here today?"


    "The visual inspection should be close to 20,000 people, right?" Ryan made a look of look, and then said loudly, "Are there 10,000 people? Let me hear your voices."


    "Yes!" The mountain cried out with a tsunami like a tornado.


    "We all know that you have arranged all the lyrics and music on the album, how much of your inspiration has always been?"


    "It''s hard to tell. In fact, many songs have been written one after another since the beginning of the 90s. At the beginning, they were just a few short clips, and then they were gradually added." Ryan scratched his head. Okay, three of them are indeed. Is such that.


    "Now the album sales have exceeded two million, do you have anything to say?"


    "Thank you for your support, I will work harder in the future."


    Most of the questions were discussed before going on stage. There was no depth, and it was more like a routine. However, there were also some experience in the creation and recording process. At this moment, Ryan said it, and the fans in the audience listened to it. With relish.


    "Okay, one last question." The host Susan blinked at him, and Ryan understood that this should be the problem she was going to make things difficult for, "Ryan, you are already twelve years old, wow... just look In terms of height, it is a bit taller than me. I want to ask, have you ever thought about finding a girlfriend, is there any standard?"


    No wonder everyone loves gossip, even those in the industry can''t avoid it! Ryan wanted to reward her with a pair of white eyeballs, but it would be rude to have a camera facing him.


    "No!"


    "Really?" the host asked unwillingly.


    "My time and energy are limited, and I haven''t considered this aspect."


    Many female fans under the stage sighed together, not knowing whether it was fortunate or disappointed.


    After a brief interview, the next step is to sign the sale. Ryan went back to the lounge and changed his clothes and sat behind the table. George and a round-waisted staff member were separated on either side of him to guard against female fans who like to engage in raids. .


    "Hurry up, hurry up, Gwyneth." Drew trot all the way to the record shop, but the long line couldn''t see the head at a glance, "Gwyneth, it''s all you, why don''t you drive faster on the road? It."


    "Drew, you can''t blame me for this." Gwyneth glared at him, "Who told you to drink so much last night, I called you in the morning and you didn''t answer."


    "Okay, okay." Drew rolled his eyes and said suddenly, "Well, let''s not enter the record store. How about going in line?"


    "Line up?" Gwyneth pointed to the long line, "Are you stupid?"


    "Let''s jump in the line, don''t worry, this is just a trivial matter to me."


    Talking, Drew Barrymore walked to the door of the record store, chose the positions of a few boys, took off his hat, spread out his long blond hair, and put on a coquettish look.


    "Hey, handsome guy..."


    "Ah..." The boys were a little impatient at first, but when they saw Drew, their eyes widened, "Miss Drew Barrymore?"


    "Yes." Drew leaned over, whispered a few words in the ears of a few boys, and successfully jumped into the line.


    "Look, look, it''s Drew Barrymore, she''s queuing." A reporter immediately noticed what was happening here, "Come on, maybe there will be a good show."


    In the minds of reporters, where this girl appears, there is never a shortage of news. Even if there is no news, this guy who loves to play will make news.


    Ryan still maintains his usual signature style After signing a male fan, he looked at the two girls who came up, and the corners of his mouth twitched.


    Which one is this? Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow actually line up to sign? They are acquaintances with them anyway, and wanting to sign a record is not easy?


    "Hey, Ryan, it''s been a long time since I saw you. Did you miss me?" Drew leaned forward and blinked coquettishly.


    Miss you a big-headed ghost! Ryan wanted to return this sentence very much, but there are still many reporters here, so it''s better to dismiss her first.


    "Well. Drew, and Gwyne, if you have time, you can go to the lounge and chat with Nicole."


    "That won''t work." Drew shook his head and put the record in his hand on the table, "Ryan, if you can, please write dedicated to dear Miss Drew Barrymore!"


    "Ah, there is this." She took another record, "This is Gwyneth. Just sign it."


    Ryan didn''t have the time in the United States to talk to her, and danced on two records, trying to get rid of the troublesome girl as soon as possible.


    Drew never stopped, "Ryan, the swash English is pretty good. By the way, how is the script you wrote for me?"


    "I haven''t started writing yet!"


    "No pen?" Drew''s eyes widened, "Ryan, you owe me this. Can''t you speak for nothing?"


    ...The third thing is that we made up what we owed yesterday, and we may go to Sanjiang tomorrow. Please support me...

 Chapter 97： celebration

    Dear Miss Drew Barrymore? script? Owe me?


    Drew has always been very carefree, and the voice of speaking naturally fell in the ears of the reporter. These keen sense of smell immediately began to associate.


    Is there an ulterior relationship between Ryan Jenkins and Drew Barrymore? Or the two of them...


    "By the way, I''ve heard people from Universal Pictures say that the two of them seem to have had an entanglement in Universal Studios. It''s not clear what it is." A well-informed reporter whispered.


    entanglement? Will there be any entanglements, is it a relationship between sister and brother...


    Although Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow made a surprise attack, they all came to cheer for themselves no matter what. Ryan couldn¡¯t say anything, and gave a polite hug. Thank you.


    "You''re welcome, Ryan, I''m going to find Nicole later." Little Chili from the previous life smiled slightly.


    "Well, Ryan, I wish you a big sale of your first album, and sell ten platinum as soon as possible!"


    Drew leaned in his ear and murmured, although the two had no other meaning, it was completely different in the reporter''s eyes.


    These guys are professionals. They quickly selected the angle, but the camera shutter did not stop for a moment, and they captured the front and back of the scene.


    Now, they feel at ease, and don¡¯t worry about tomorrow¡¯s entertainment headlines.


    You know, Ryan Jenkins has stabilized a lot recently, and it¡¯s been a long time since he made big news, what? Isn¡¯t that normal for record sales? For super geniuses, a decline in record sales is good news.


    It''s all right now, the super genius has an ambiguous relationship with the fallen girl, how should I write it? The reporter''s brain quickly turned. As for whether the relationship between the two people was what they thought, it was not a problem at all. In their writing, even if the two are just ordinary acquaintances, they can be forced into lovers in the report.


    Besides, the two of them are still embracing under the eyes of everyone...Well, although fools understand that it is just ordinary etiquette, but well, it was photographed in a dislocation way...


    There is a script? It sounds like Ryan Jenkins wrote a script for Drew Barrymore. This is big news and we must find a way to dig it out!


    If the two are not related, why would he write a script for her? There must be inside information, the public has the right to know, our responsibility is great and sacred, and we must dig out all their privacy.


    What if not? That''s too easy. Looking at pictures and making up things are our basic skills. If we don''t even know this, then we can just change the job.


    Scandals represent news, news represents sales, and sales represent green bills, so the headline should be eye-catching, the content should be horrifying, and the fake we can also be true!


    Many reporters have already imagined in their minds how to fabricate...Ah, no, it''s writing.


    Ryan didn¡¯t think much about it. For all the guests who came to cheer today, he used hugs to express gratitude. This is one of the most basic etiquettes. It is more solemn than shaking hands. No matter what these people are here for, this is all. It''s a favor.


    Back to the lounge, except for Nicole, Drew, and Gwyneth, the other people who came to cheer were gone. After all, they were all busy people. It was already a shame to make a special trip.


    "Go" Ryan helped Nicole pack her things and greeted everyone.


    "Wow, it''s over?" Drew took off his earplugs and looked at John Burns. "Mr. Burns, can we go to the celebration party?"


    After getting the affirmative answer from the other party, the guy screamed in excitement. She is just like the rumor, a veritable party animal.


    The party was set at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, and Hollywood Records had contracted a grand banquet hall. Except for Ryan¡¯s people and the band, most of the participants were Disney¡¯s staff. Of course, some big players were invited. Newspaper reporter.


    "Boom~"


    Amid the loud cheers of the crowd, a large bottle of champagne opened, and Reid, the CEO of Hollywood Records, personally filled it with one glass after another.


    Because of the presence of the media, everyone was fairly restrained and did not hold up the champagne to spray. Moreover, Ryan''s allergy to alcohol is no longer a secret. The record company also warned everyone in advance.


    "Cheers!"


    Ryan held up the juice, bumped into Nicole''s glass, and drank it after a crisp sound.


    "Dear, drink less." Nicole asked with concern.


    "Hey, Ryan, look over here and smile."


    It was an acquaintance who called his name, Mick Taylor of the Los Angeles Times.


    Ryan took Nicole, turned her head, took her slender arm, put her head on her shoulder, and showed a bright smile.


    "Wait, there is me!"


    Drew Barrymore threw away the wine glass and rushed up from behind, but her smile couldn''t be described as brilliant, and the corners of her mouth were almost touching her ears.


    A few people posing and meeting the reporter''s photo requirements, the media professionals were invited out by the record company, and the rest will be carnival time.


    A huge cake was pushed in at this time, and the jam on the butter formed the bright two platinum words. This naturally celebrated the album sales exceeding 2 million. The Recording Association officially designated the record of "Ryan Jenkins" as Platinum record.


    "Ryan, come on!" Burns greeted.


    Looking at the huge butter cake, Ryan laughed badly. He took the plastic knife and cut the first cut with force.


    The cake was too big and it was troublesome to cut. Ryan only cut the first symbolic knife, and left the rest to the waiter. He deliberately chose the two pieces with the most cream and put them in his hands.


    "Nicole, look! I chose the most delicious piece for you." The first thing to give is naturally Nicole Kidman.


    "Thank you dear."


    Although this kind of food is the enemy of women, the meaning of Ryan''s personal delivery is naturally different. After Nicole took it, she sipped it without any hesitation.


    She just wanted to taste the second bite, but her eyes suddenly went black.


    At the moment Nicole lowered his head, Ryan waved his right arm and covered the cake in his hand on Nicole Kidman¡¯s face. The fair and charming face was as white as a sauce shop. The red, the green, all are glued to it.


    "Ryan Jenkins!"


    Nicole made a weird cry. Before she could react, Ryan grabbed the cake in her hand with lightning speed, and suddenly patted it.


    The shot was a bit low this time, and it happened to hit Nicole''s sturdy chest. The purple sweaters propped up by the two mountain peaks immediately turned white.


    Nicole immediately understood that this nasty little guy had launched a cake fight against her, and he was no longer polite at the moment, but there was no ammunition in his hand, so he simply ran into Ryan''s face with the face covered with butter jam.


    Ryan had been prepared for a long time, and jumped into the distance in threes or twos. He happened to be next to Drew Barrymore who was watching the excitement. Without even thinking about it, he quickly grabbed the cream cake in her hand and glared at Drew. Patted her baby''s face in her eyes.


    "Ryan!" Drew let out a scream.


    But the boy who was playing with his head gave full play to his guerrilla warfare tactics. He shuttled around in the crowd, grabbed cakes from time to time, and threw them to the rear.


    Drew was unwilling to chase him up, holding the cake he didn''t know where he had snatched from, and threw it at Ryan''s head, but her accuracy was a little worse, and she hit the band''s female violinist. .


    When Ryan shot Drew, the older people knew what was going to happen next, and they left the venue very simply, leaving the banquet hall to these young people.


    Ryan was the fuse of the Third World War. He kept shooting at people, regardless of who it was. Jinsli and Burns, who had just walked to the door, became victims under the cake bomb.


    Of course, other people would not just be beaten and not fight back. After getting the ammunition, they started throwing them around. Unfortunately, a few beautiful ladies became the main targets of the attack. Gwyneth was the most unlucky. She was relatively quiet and not good at it. This kind of nonsense, but within a few minutes, the whole body was covered with cream and jam.


    Of course, the most unlucky one was Drew Barrymore. Ryan colluded with all the band members and launched a full bombardment on her. Pieces of cake fluttered around her.


    "Wow~"


    Drew rushed to the side of the big cake under the intensive artillery fire, and he didn''t know who he was. He caught a person and threw him away. In an instant, several people were poisoned by her.


    "Ahhh~ Ryan, you badass, I won''t let you go!"


    Taking advantage of Drew''s confrontation with others, Ryan rushed over quickly and directly picked up the remaining half of the cake and buckled it on the girl''s head. For a while, the beautiful blonde hair turned white. UU reading www.uukANASHU. The com-mad Drew simply gave up the others and directly chased him down.


    "Haha~"


    Ryan laughed very refreshingly, but didn''t notice that Nicole came behind him, and suddenly felt a cold on the back of his neck, and a large sticky thing had fallen into the back collar.


    Grabbing a hand backwards, Ryan felt all the cream. Unexpectedly, he jumped up to Nicole, unceremoniously stuffed a lot of cream into her neck, turned and fled. .


    "Ryan Jenkins, I remember you, let''s see how I can clean you up when I get home!"


    Where did Nicole Kidman catch up with Ryan, and finally stood still and shouted loudly.


    As the ammunition ran out, the Cake World War finally ended. All the people in the banquet hall, including the staff of the Hollywood record company, were turned into big faces, and the clothes on their bodies could be directly scrapped.


    "Ryan!"


    On the car going home, Nicole pinched his ears, looking fierce, but actually reluctant to use a little bit of effort, "You kid, my new suit is reimbursed like this!"


    Nicole Kidman and Pie Kingsley had obviously changed their clothes, and there were fierce lights in Ryan''s eyes.


    But who is Ryan, a character with a thick skin like a city wall, said carelessly, "Well, dear Nicole and Pat, I will place an order with Versace and let them send you ten sets of the latest fashions. come."


    ...The finishing of web articles has begun, and it is said that Lianbo will be asked at the meeting...Say this subject matter will not be killed...

 Chapter 98： On the plane

    Time entered the end of mid-February. On the day Ryan left Los Angeles, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for the 64th Academy Awards. "Sleep" and "IWillAlwaysLoveYou" won the nominations for best original screenplay and best original song.


    And the "Terminator 2" he participated in, not only firmly ranked first in the North American box office rankings last year, but also won six Oscar nominations in one fell swoop, but just like before, science fiction films are not seen by the academy, and all they get are technology. Class nomination.


    "Although Ryan Jenkins and Drew Barrymore only admit to being ordinary friends, we can see from the photos and the interaction between them that there may be other relationships between them. According to people familiar with the situation, as early as Last year, the two had a fight in Universal Studios. Maybe in the not-too-distant future, Hollywood will witness another brother-in-law relationship."


    "Stop! Nat, can you not read it?" Ryan interrupted Natalie''s soft reading.


    This is the first class of the flight to London. Ryan and Natalie are sitting next to each other. After meeting in New York, the two of them boarded the flight and headed to London together. After a short stay there, they will go to Krakow. Reported among the crew.


    Before boarding the plane, Natalie deliberately bought a bunch of newspapers. After the plane was in a stable state, she deliberately picked out those unreliable gossip between him and Drew and read them in a low voice, but the controlled voice could still make Ryan. Hear.


    "Ok."


    Despite her words, Natalie found another tabloid and quickly turned to the gossip page. It was the photo of Ryan holding Drew that she could not help but frowned.


    "When Miss Drew Barrymore embraced Ryan Jenkins, he did not show any disgust or dissatisfaction, which shows that they often communicate in this way, or that the two are used to it, and we have According to the news, Ryan is tailoring a script for Drew to help her get out of her current predicament. The relationship between them is absolutely extraordinary. Even though Ryan is only twelve years old now, his precociousness and intelligence are no one in the United States. I don¡¯t know, it¡¯s hard to say that he¡¯s wrong with someone like Drew..."


    Damn it! Ryan glared at Natalie, the girl snorted coldly, and finally stopped the sound of reading.


    Still a stunner? Perhaps in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, Drew is a beautiful and **** girl, but in Ryan''s eyes, her appearance is not ugly at best.


    Fortunately for the big papers, even if the photos at the time are published, they rarely make random guesses. After all, as long as they are not fools, it is just a courtesy hug between friends. But the tabloids don¡¯t care about so much. They If he couldn''t catch Ryan himself, he naturally played twelve percent of his ability to look at pictures and talk.


    Even though most of you are quoting people in the know, or guessing, but the meaning between the lines is clearly questioning, when did you two get together? Where is it?


    According to the phone call from Drew, there were a lot of paparazzi gathered under her apartment. They were obviously unkind. She also deliberately provoked and asked Ryan if she dared to go to her house.


    Ryan is not a fool. If someone takes pictures of him and Drew at this time, the paparazzi must go crazy.


    "Nate, don''t read the tabloids, they will lower your IQ infinitely!" Ryan said involuntarily, snatching all the tabloids from Natalie, and threw them into the trash can simply.


    "Ryan! Humph~"


    Natalie glared at him, opened the only remaining "New York Times" supplement, and quickly turned to the bestseller page.


    This is the latest issue of the North American bestseller list. The book at the top of the list is "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". She only glanced at it, then looked down and quickly ranked 47th. Found the goal-"Resident Evil".


    Ryan is her only friend, so she will pay more attention to him. Natalie knows that both "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "Resident Evil" will be released on February 1. Ryan has been on the cusp of the media during this period of time. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" has sold jaw-dropping sales as soon as it hits the market.


    Of course, whether it is a book or a movie, if you want to succeed in this era, publicity and commercial hype are indispensable. The publishing house has also invested a considerable amount of advertising expenses, with the help of Ryan''s selling album, creating a huge momentum. .


    As for the book "Resident Evil", since they got the manuscript, they have consulted Ryan and have been holding it in their hands-the Japanese version was published in Japan last year-to do so naturally is to borrow Harry Potter Dongfeng, push this novel.


    In fact, they did a good job. The two books were on the market at the same time, and there was no phenomenon of hindering each other. On the contrary, many Harry Potter fans bought "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" by the way. resident Evil".


    Objectively speaking, the names of Ryan and Harry Potter have indeed driven the sales of "Resident Evil". Without a game, it is very unexpected to be able to enter the bestseller list.


    However, after Ryan glanced at Natalie, he just shrugged and published "Resident Evil". He just wanted to make Japan disgusting. As for the sales, I really didn''t think about it. Anyway, Jinsli has already put a lot of Things are registered in advance, such as Resident Evil, Battle Royale and so on.


    Natalie began to read again softly, obviously reading a book review.


    ""Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" inherits the consistent style of this series, full of childishness and imagination, although as Ryan and the protagonist in the book grow older, the content inevitably develops towards adulthood. It is a wonderful book, even better than the first three. This series will surely become the best all-ages work in the 1990s!"


    "As for "Resident Evil", it is more like a thriller adventure novel dressed in a zombie coat. Although to a certain extent, the reason for the production of zombies is explained by technological factors, but in addition to the wonderful fights, the text is somewhat bloody. Described, besides the hidden worries about the unlimited expansion of large companies and groups, it does not bring more questions worth thinking about. Compared with some children''s Harry Potter series and Jurassic Park, it is not on the same level. I What I want to say is, Ryan Jenkins, don''t continue to try these adult-oriented themes, but go back and continue to write characters and works of your age. That is the way you should go now!"


    Looking at Natalie who put down the newspaper, Ryan asked, "Is this the latest book review?"


    "This is relatively constricted, and the words are more intense, do you want to continue listening?" Natalie raised her eyebrows.


    looked at the retreating clouds outside the window of the machine, Ryan stretched out, "Forget it, although it''s a bit boring, I don''t want to let my ears actively seek abuse."


    "Huh~" Natalie let out a disdainful nasal sound.


    "Dear Nat, do you have any dissatisfaction with "Resident Evil"?" After being friends for so long, Ryan can guess how she is thinking.


    "This book is really not very good, um... you can buy one to pass the time before you get on the plane, and you can throw it in the trash can when you get off the plane." Natalie unceremoniously began to criticize, "Also. There is the heroine Alice, which is just a symbol with no characteristics of her own at all, no different from those superheroes with well-developed limbs and simple minds."


    "Well, dear, you are right, Alice is actually a superhero!" Ryan shrugged, "Don''t forget, at the end of the book, she already has superpowers."


    "So you are planning to write a sequel?" Natalie''s eyes widened, I don''t know why, after seeing Ryan this time, she had a hundred dissatisfaction with him, always picking his thorns.


    "I don''t have this interest anymore. If I can, I will authorize it to others."


    She wrinkled her little nose, and Natalie showed a slightly smug look on her face. No matter what, she would be very happy as long as she could overwhelm this guy.


    It takes about seven hours to fly from New York to London, and it takes five time zones. Naturally, such a long time cannot be passed by newspapers. Fortunately, Ryan is getting used to a flying career. Not only is Natalie younger than him, but also physically. They were also relatively thin, and the two chatted for half an hour before they started to yawn.


    "Sleep for a while, Nat." Ryan beckoned to the stewardess and asked for a blanket.


    "okay then."


    In the past, Jinsli was his nanny, but now he is Natalie''s nanny But Mrs. Shelly and Jinsli are in the back few rows, and he is the only one to play this role. Up.


    Watching Ryan carefully wrap her up in a blanket, Natalie suddenly felt that what she had done since getting on the plane seemed a bit too much. She shouldn''t deliberately read those gossip scandals in front of him.


    "Get a good night''s sleep, I will call you before the plane lands." Ryan said with a smile.


    Natalie pouted, but before closing her eyes, she asked awkwardly, "Ryan, is the matter between you and Drew Barrymore true?"


    "God, Nat, I really shouldn''t let you read those tabloids, your IQ is obviously lowered by them." Ryan muttered dissatisfied, "Do you know how fools deal with smart people?"


    Without waiting for Natalie to speak, he went on to say, "Lower the intelligence of smart people to the same level, and defeat them in the most stupid way!"


    "You are so boring, Ryan." Natalie got the answer she wanted and closed her eyes satisfied.


    I wish you a good dream, dear Nat!


    looked at the little Lolita who was falling into dreams, Ryan took out the drawing book he carried with him and sketched it with a carbon pencil. Natalie''s naive and sleepy appearance slowly appeared on the drawing.


    After a long time, Ryan smiled with satisfaction, quickly marked the date and location on the corner of the drawing paper, and put it away solemnly. This is also a commemoration of the friendship between the two. After ten years, I will show it again. Maybe It will be fun.

 Chapter 99： visit

    Carrying a black backpack, Ryan, accompanied by George and others, walked out of the airport through the VIP passage. In the group, in addition to his team, there were several staff from the publishing house.


    Natalie and Mrs. Shelly kept a distance from Ryan and his party very cleverly.


    Sure enough, just stepping out of the VIP channel, dozens of reporters and paparazzi frantically pressed the camera shutter and surrounded them. Fortunately, there were a lot of staff. They quickly stepped forward and protected Ryan behind him.


    Ryan had anticipated this kind of scene a long time ago. After all, tomorrow¡¯s new bookmark sale will be announced long ago. As long as someone who is interested in checking it, he can always find out his itinerary. What''s more, in the eyes of the British media, the Harry Potter series is not. It is a victory for the entire Kingdom of Great Britain to be able to reach the top of the bestseller list in the United States of pure English literature.


    "Ryan, how does it feel to return to London?"


    "It is said that it was two years of experience in London that made you write the Harry Potter series. Do you have anything to say to British book fans?"


    "I heard that there are seven episodes in the Harry Potter series, can you tell me the specific story?"


    These questions are normal. After all, the interviewers are reporters from well-known media.


    "Resident Evil has current sales, is it because of the Harry Potter series? Some experts say that if it weren''t for the craze of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", this book would not be worth mentioning."


    "You donated all the proceeds from the second single to the charity foundation of Her Royal Highness Princess. Will you visit Kensington Palace this time?"


    "Where are you and Miss Drew Barrymore? Have you kissed? Have you gone to bed..."


    Tabloid reporters¡¯ questions will not be polite. This is the birthplace of paparazzi. They don¡¯t care if you are a minor or not. Compared to your American counterparts, a question is like a knife.


    Under the protection of George and others, Ryan has no interest in answering any questions. As long as he speaks, these paparazzi will become more crazy, and the article written the next day will definitely change.


    In the past life, the title of the British tabloid newspaper is like a thunderbolt.


    "Poor Ryan." Natalie followed Mrs. Shelly, seeming to be sighing, and also seeming to be gloating.


    The crazy actions of the reporters attracted the attention of others. Soon, someone recognized Ryan. I don¡¯t know which young man shouted, "Look, it¡¯s Ryan Jenkins!"


    Listening to the dense footsteps, Ryan had a headache. Obviously his influence had spread to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. He winked at George and hurriedly squeezed in the direction of the car.


    Before the crowd surrounded, several cars rushed out of the siege, drove quickly away from Heathrow Airport, and headed for downtown London.


    On the way, the convoy was divided into two, and the people belonging to the publishing house were heading for the booked hotel, but Ryan, Natalie and others'' destination was the small villa in Kensington.


    This villa belonging to Nicole has been taken care of by a special housekeeping company. It doesn''t cost much every year, but it can keep the villa from aging rapidly due to the small number of people living.


    "Here, this is it." Ryan opened the floral door in the vestibule and walked in first.


    "This is where you lived in London for two years?" Natalie asked curiously.


    "Yeah, come on, Nat, I will show you around."


    The people behind were naturally greeted by Jinsli. Ryan took Natalie around the small garden in the front courtyard, then entered the villa, and looked at each room.


    "Harry Potter and the sixth sense were born in this room." He pointed to his room and said.


    Compared with the home in Los Angeles, this room is much smaller. Ryan looked at the musical instruments and furniture inside, and felt a little emotional. There was one of his best memories, one that only belonged to him and Nicole Kidman. life.


    "Ryan, you are distracted." Natalie squeezed his ear gently. This trick was obviously learned from Nicole Kidman.


    "I remembered the situation when I lived here before." Ryan smiled embarrassedly, and pulled her to the top of the building. "Come on, Nat, there is a terrace above."


    The surroundings of the villa are basically all these independent houses, there are few high-rise buildings, standing on the terrace and looking into the distance, you can see the distance.


    "Is that... Kensington Palace?" Natalie asked, pointing to a three- or four-story building in the distance.


    "Yes." Ryan nodded, "There is the residence of the Princess of Wales."


    "I don''t know if she is there or not, I have never seen her in real life." Natalie put a pergola in front of her forehead with her small hand, as if she wanted to see through the building.


    "So..." Ryan rolled his eyes and asked, "Nate, do you want to see the princess in person?"


    "Ah..." Natalie was stunned, then she remembered that Ryan knew Diana, "This..."


    "Well, I have your Royal Highness''s private phone." Ryan sighed. This was exchanged for the proceeds of a single. If it expires, it is considered to satisfy the wish of a friend, "Let''s go down, I Make a call, I don¡¯t know if she is in London or not."


    When the sky was dark, the black car drove out of the garage and headed towards Kensington Palace. In just a short time, the paparazzi guarding the door of the villa split into two, some of them on motorcycles followed. Part of them continued to stay in front of the door.


    I had to admire the paparazzi in London. Their efficiency was amazing. Before Ryan and Natalie had determined their itinerary, they found their address and surrounded the door.


    "It''s annoying, they followed up again."


    On the back seat, Natalie glanced backwards, and saw several motorcycles falling in the back not too far away, a little annoyed.


    "Nat, when you become famous, they will treat you like this." Ryan doesn''t matter. "This is already a convergence. After a few years, they will rush over and post them on the car window to take pictures."


    Natalie shrugged. She vaguely thought about these things, but didn''t want to tell Ryan that when the car went through security and entered Kensington Palace, she asked, "Ryan, should I curtsey? "


    "Whatever, we are not British."


    Despite what he said, Ryan tidied up his dress before getting off the car, and Natalie couldn''t help feeling a little nervous when he saw his rare formal appearance.


    "Relax, Nat, Your Royal Highness is a very kind person."


    After getting out of the car, bending his arms, waiting for Natalie to take his arm, Ryan walked towards the front door. After all, he has undergone strict British etiquette training. Whether it is walking or responding to the waiter who opens the door, he looks like And a pure English gentleman.


    Under the guidance of the housekeeper, he walked into the hall. The chandelier on the ceiling reflected the whole hall as bright as day. The noble blond woman was waiting in the living room with two boys, one big and one small.


    "May God bless you, Your Highness."


    Ryan bowed, and Natalie made a lady''s gift.


    "Hello, Ryan, we meet again."


    After he introduced Natalie, Diana nodded slightly and introduced the two boys next to him, "This is William and this is Harry. They are all your loyal readers."


    Although he was reluctant to salute the two little kids, strictly speaking, Kensington Palace was the palace of the royal family, and Ryan had to owe him again.


    "It''s nice to meet you, Your Highness."


    Natalie squeezed his arm quietly, and she could naturally feel how reluctant he was.


    Although Diana said that they are his book fans, the two little guys are obviously more like their fathers, serious and rigid, without any joy, making Ryan very embarrassed.


    "Ryan, this is not a public place, there is no need to pay attention to those etiquette." After sending away the housekeeper and waiter, Diana was obviously relaxed.


    Speaking of it, she really doesn''t like the royal courtesy, and she is now having trouble with Charles. Both of them continue to pour dirty water on each other, and the royal family''s face is lost.


    "Nate, are you a friend of Ryan? Are you also an actor?" Diana has a deep involvement with the entertainment industry, and she has some insight.


    "Yes, Your Highness." Natalie was more cautious than Ryan, and she regretted that she had come to visit her recklessly. She should really stay in the villa due to jet lag. !


    Diana and Natalie chatted for a few words, Ryan had to deal with the two little princes, perhaps because of the royal education, they were obviously not interested in him as a person in the entertainment industry, even if Ryan could hear from words So, they are indeed loyal readers of Harry Potter, and they only like books.


    Since they are here, of course they can¡¯t leave without a word. At Diana¡¯s invitation, Ryan and Natalie had to stay for dinner.


    Unlike imagined, it is not an old and monotonous British meal, but a French meal. Sitting at the long dining table, Ryan was relieved. To be honest British meals are a bit difficult During the two years of living in London, he had eaten extremely limited times.


    Although Diana said that you are welcome, when the two rigid princes sat opposite, neither the open-minded Ryan nor the restrained Natalie could not relax. This dinner was extremely uncomfortable.


    I will never come here again! Ryan vowed secretly in his heart.


    In fact, he knew very well that the rift between Diana and the royal family could not be repaired. She was an apostate herself and didn¡¯t care about etiquette, but every rigid movement of the two princes seemed to be pre-designed. He and Na What can Tally do?


    It''s no wonder that the two of them like their father more, and the royal family''s brainwashing education is still very powerful. Ryan could only sigh.


    "Ryan, I heard that you are going to hold an autograph sale tomorrow?" Diana asked.


    "Yes, in Trafalgar Square."


    "If you need help, just speak up."


    "I will, Your Highness." Ryan won''t take polite remarks seriously.


    He is not a naive child. The other party will receive him. Firstly, because of his love in Los Angeles, secondly, his influence in the entertainment industry is getting bigger and bigger. Thirdly, it is the donated money.


    Of course, maybe it was the thoughts of the previous life. Compared with the old-fashioned royal family and Prince Charles, he prefers Diana, even if the other party has obvious shortcomings.

 Chapter 100： Novel signing

    Trafalgar Square is located in the center of London. Its moderate location and beautiful square architecture make it one of London''s attractions.


    Ms. Shaman took her daughter into the square and sighed as she watched the huge flow of people pouring in the direction of the National Gallery.


    She is a small well-known writer herself, and now she rushes to participate in a novel signing event for a twelve-year-old boy. It is crazy.


    "Mom, shall we hurry up, there are so many people."


    "Well, my dear."


    Saman had to speed up. The seven-year-old daughter has always been very inferior. Harry Potter is her only consolation. How can she satisfy her wish?


    "Mom, can we see Ryan?" The little girl kept her head down, her face still writhing gloomy.


    "Of course it will, dear Kate."


    ¡°Why can Ryan read fluently at the age of four, and started writing children¡¯s science fiction at the age of six. I¡¯m seven years old now, and I can¡¯t read even the simplest articles, and Harry Potter can only be read by you or dad? Listen to me."


    "It will be fine when you grow up." Ms. Shaman looked helpless. She knew that her daughter had dyslexia.


    The girl named Kate lowered her head, but followed her mother''s footsteps to the National Art Gallery, her gloomy look on her face became stronger.


    Why is this happening? She wanted to ask everyone that she was studying at the school where Ryan was in London, and the textbooks used are exactly the same. Why does she have dyslexia and why all the students in the school like to laugh at her? Why do they all say that they are twisted little girls?


    There is a long queue in front of the bookstore with a long history next to the National Gallery. Fortunately, this is the Kingdom of Great Britain and London. It has the reservations and traditions that they are proud of. There is no such thing as a day or a few days in advance. Just come to line up.


    Saman¡¯s mother and daughter arrived early, and they soon lined up in the middle of the line, moving forward slowly with the flow of people.


    "Mom, there seems to be a reporter." She tugged at the corner of her mother''s clothes.


    "My dear, Ryan is a big star. It''s normal for reporters to come over."


    "Big star? Is it more famous than Dad?" At her age, it is difficult to understand the specific meaning of this word, so she subconsciously moved the director''s father out.


    Saman smiled helplessly. Although his husband is a veteran, he is somewhat famous in the UK, but compared to that boy...


    "Hey, ma''am, hello, is this your daughter? I''m a reporter from The Times, can you ask her some questions?"


    At this time, a female reporter came over. Seeing that it was a regular reporter, not a paparazzi, Shaman nodded slightly.


    After all, it is good for her character to let her daughter get in touch with more people.


    Although she has an awkward personality, the girl is still a little clever, tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Well, you can ask."


    "Do you like the Harry Potter series?" The reporter asked a bit silly question, as if the girl was regarded as a mentally handicapped child.


    "Of course! Before going to bed every night, I ask my father or mother to read a paragraph for me."


    "Then which character do you like best?"


    "Miss know-it-all, Hermione Granger!" The girl replied simply, but she was thinking in her heart, if I was as smart as her.


    "Then do you like Ryan Jenkins?"


    "Yes, Mom and Dad have read all of his works for me. Tell you a secret. I am now studying at Ryan''s previous school." The girl''s chin lifted up unconsciously, and it seemed that the inferiority complex disappeared. .


    The reporter asked Ms. Shaman a few more questions, and walked away satisfied, looking for the next interview target.


    Finally they lined up in the bookstore, and found that most of the people in front did not just buy "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", but packed all the books published by Ryan and walked towards the signing table.


    "Mom..." The girl pulled her mother''s arm, looking forward to her eyes.


    "Okay, dear." Ms. Shaman quickly selected books, "Jurassic Park", "Ryan Tales", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone"..., before finally picking up "Resident Evil", Little hesitated, after all, this book is not a children''s book.


    But seeing my daughter¡¯s sparkling eyes, even the inferiority and gloom on her face disappeared, smiled, took "Resident Evil" down, and walked to the payment counter.


    Sitting behind the signature table, Ryan waved the fountain pen in his hand, and while signing, he felt a little bit of sentiment. All businessmen in the world are the same. They were born to chase profits.


    This time, the publishing house launched a seven-book package and price reduction project, which really promoted the sales of all books, but his workload has greatly increased.


    However, you have to pay the corresponding price for how much you want to get.


    You know, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" only the publisher''s prepaid remuneration reached 5 million US dollars, although it is lower than the previous life Joanna Rowling''s 10 million US dollars when the book was released, but don''t Forget it, it''s 1992 now.


    What''s more, there will be up to 25% of the royalty share in the follow-up.


    Because his previous life is also considered to be the entertainment industry, Ryan knows a little bit about book publishing. Needless to say, domestic publishing houses. When he was reborn, it seemed that no one had paid more than 15% in royalties. This is an international practice. It is 15%-20%.


    I have to say that domestic writers are also a group of hard-pressed people. Like other industries, taxes and other expenditures are approaching developed countries while their incomes have not increased significantly.


    Looking at the thick stack of books in front of him, Ryan¡¯s mouth trembled. This is a middle-aged couple. They bought 6 sets, for a total of forty-two books. In their words, they want to give away. One set for each relative in the family.


    "Thank you for your support!" Ryan bowed his head and shook his wrist, sending away the two men.


    "Rui...Ryan, hello..."


    A timid girl''s voice came across from him. He looked up, smiled, and stretched out his hand, "Hello, thank you for your support."


    "Ryan..." The **** the opposite side looked a little shy and shook his hand hesitantly.


    "Don''t be nervous. Look at me. It''s not like you. I have a nose and two eyes. They are not monsters in the media." Ryan said with a slight smile.


    "Mom." The girl also smiled, and the expression on her face became hearty.


    Ms. Shaman put the seven books on the table. Ryan took the top "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", turned to the title page, and signed his name on it.


    "Ryan...can..." The girl seemed a little nervous, and she seemed a little inferior, "Can you write a wish?"


    "No problem." Ryan gave her an encouraging look.


    "Just write..." The girl scratched her red hair, "Well...Kate, I hope you can overcome dyslexia as soon as possible and read fluently."


    "Well, lovely Miss Kate." Ryan wrote this sentence in six books without any hesitation, changing the grammar.


    On the title page of the last "Jurassic Park", Ryan whispered as he wrote, "Kate, although life is always full of unsatisfactory things, but a confident and cheerful smile will make you more beautiful.


    went on to say, "You know, I encountered more difficult things when I was a kid, but I was never discouraged or gave up. Therefore, keep working hard and you will surely overcome all the suffering!"


    "Thank you, Ryan!"


    Hearing his words, the gloom on the girl''s face gradually disappeared, her low self-esteem was a little bit less, and her smile became more confident.


    "Mom, I will work hard, I will work as hard as Ryan."


    Looking at the backs of them leaving, Ryan shook his head, and suddenly felt that if he didn''t become a star, he could also be a psychologist. Could it be that Natalie''s influence? In her spare time, she always likes to read books on psychology.


    Okay, it feels pretty good to help your fans solve a little bit of psychological inferiority. If you want to be a superstar, you must have a different side, otherwise it would be no difference to just pull one out of Hollywood. Ryan was busy again while thinking.


    After the busy four hours, Ryan escaped the siege of reporters and paparazzi, and Ryan got into the car and hurried towards the villa.


    Leaning on the back seat, he sticks out his tongue and feels tired like a dead dog. This time he is really tired, much more tired than the previous album signings. He has checked out nearly 4,000 books, just for his wrists. The soreness made him sigh.


    There are also those reporters who are afraid of the chaos of the world, constantly asking him whether he is British literature about Harry Potter, and whether he has such outstanding literary and artistic talents because of the English-style enlightenment education he received.


    Ryan wanted to put up a **** to them When I was at school in London, I never heard a class at all. Why did you come to the British education, if you ask, you are not afraid to provoke a media war on both sides of the Atlantic?


    Well, these guys are eager for this to happen, so that they can attract attention and promote sales. Maybe the two sides of the Atlantic will bombard missiles, which suits them best. If this world is destroyed, the British paparazzi will be the happiest one. .


    Ryan is not an idiot, he will not be foolishly used as a gun.


    Back to the villa in Kensington, Ryan found that Natalie had returned and was sitting in the living room reading a book, but the content of the book was a bit scary, a book about director.


    "I found this on the bookshelf in your room. There is nothing to do anyway, just take it and take a look." Natalie said.


    "Why did you come back so soon?" Ryan simply sat beside her.


    "A walk along the Thames, London is like that, nothing special." Obviously, she didn''t have much interest in seeing the scenery.


    "Don''t you think that beautiful scenery can edify artistic sentiment?" Ryan said with a deliberate mouth curling.


    "Come on, Ryan, do you know what art is? Oh, yes, art is for money and honor." Natalie is still reading.


    "Well, I admit that it''s okay to be less smart than you." Ryan didn''t bother to care about her and walked upstairs, "I''m back to my room to read the script, and I will go to Poland in a few days."


    ¡­¡­Please recommend~Please collect~Today''s three changes~

 Chapter 101： Arrived in Poland

    stayed in London for a few days. Originally, Ryan planned to accompany Natalie for a while, but a large number of reporters gathered at the door of the villa every day. If you want to travel, then wait to be harassed by them.


    The two simply stayed in the villa and studied the roles in Schindler¡¯s List. Natalie played a surviving girl, and Ryan¡¯s role was the Jewish man shot and killed by Amon Goss. handy-man.


    They exchanged a lot of views on each other''s roles. Ryan''s views on that period of history are mostly from previous lives. Natalie is different. Unlike Ryan, she has only a part of Jewish blood. She is a pure Jew, and she is the most saddened for her own nation. There is enough understanding of this period of history.


    In the short life of the previous life, in the first ten years, Ryan did not have any good feelings for Jews, even if great figures such as Karl Marx and Albert Einstein were born in it. As for the reason, it is naturally in the official textbooks and propaganda. The image of the American imperial running dog.


    Even if he understands that there are only conflicts of interest between countries, the education he has received still makes him think that the Arab brothers who are suffering are good people.


    Until later, with the rise of the Internet, a lot of news inevitably spread out, some of which were true or false. He also did some inquiries and understood that Jews are not the image in the official depiction.


    As for the official Arab brothers, a group of crazy green believers...


    After leaving the airport, Ryan found the car that the crew came to pick up people. Compared with the bustling London, Poland had just experienced a great change soon. It was poor and deserted, and it looked shabby, whether in the airport or outside the airport.


    There is also the weather. At the end of February, London is already full of spring. It is still in the cold winter. In the gloomy sky, there will be scattered snowflakes from time to time.


    Ryan was afraid of the cold, very afraid of the cold, so he put on a thick down jacket and a cotton cap as soon as he stepped off the plane, and even a pair of black leather gloves on his hands. Natalie teased him. Say, it''s bloated and almost like a polar bear.


    There are not many people in the group, only Natalie mother and daughter, Jinsli and George. .


    The weather is not as exaggerated as Ryan''s performance, at most it is about ten degrees Fahrenheit, but he has lived in warm Los Angeles most of his life, and is really uncomfortable with the cold. On the other hand, Natalie just added a line to his shirt. Thick coat.


    "Hello, Ryan, welcome to Krakow."


    Went to the car, and they were picked up by an acquaintance, Marek Brosky, one of Steven Spielberg¡¯s assistants.


    The two sides made a brief introduction, got into a big station wagon, and left the airport.


    "Ryan, go to the hotel or the studio first?" Marek asked.


    Solicited Natalie¡¯s opinion, and Ryan said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the set first, it¡¯s so cold, won¡¯t it affect the shooting?¡±


    "It''s much better now." Marek sat in front, turned around and said, "Last month, the highest temperature in Krakow was only around zero degrees Fahrenheit, and even some of the scenes we prepared were frozen and cracked. "


    "Ryan, is it so cold?" Seeing Ryan shrinking, Natalie simply took off his cotton cap, "There is air conditioning in the car, please pay attention, or you will catch a cold when you go out."


    The car did not enter Krakow, and went around to the studio set up outside the city. Ryan talked with Marek from time to time and inquired about a lot of the crew.


    After the New Year, Steven Spielberg led the entire team to Poland. Under the severe cold and other unfavorable conditions, he started the preparatory work. Fortunately, he planned for this film for nearly ten years. In fact, many Work has long been ahead.


    Such as contacting the surviving Jews on Schindler¡¯s list and their descendants and inviting them to participate in the filming.


    Not only that, the crew also recruited a large number of descendants of Polish Jews as extras. In order to collect the costumes of nearly 20,000 extras, the prop crew had to post advertisements to look for the old clothes of the year. Fortunately, Poland¡¯s economic backwardness, many People are eager to sell their old clothes from the 1930s to the 1940s in their homes.


    After listening to Ryan''s original suggestion, Spielberg not only asked Steven Zelian to revise the script, but also gave up his plan to shoot in German and Polish.


    Although the preliminary preparations were very tight, Spielberg decided to officially start on March 1st. He must set aside enough shooting time for himself, otherwise the location shooting will not be completed before July. Trouble.


    Fortunately, many unfinished scenes can be set up while shooting.


    The car quickly arrived at the destination. A long distance away, Ryan could already see through the car window. On the wilderness and plains in the distance, a busy town stood up. Perhaps it was a construction site that was more suitable.


    "Wait, Ryan!"


    Just when he was about to get out of the car, Natalie spoke, took his forgotten cotton cap in her hand, carefully put it on Ryan''s head, and carefully wrapped his ears into it. .


    Mrs. Shelly had a panoramic view of all this and sighed secretly. The two children have been together for most of the time since they met in New York. Even if disputes broke out from time to time, no matter who they were, they could see the relationship. The deep friendship, the two are getting older...


    "Thank you, Nat!"


    retaliate, Ryan will also help Natalie tidy up her scarf.


    Dozens of large trailers parked in front, a large number of scenery and wooden simple houses have been built on a considerable scale, and many extras in old clothes and German military uniforms are under the leadership of several assistant directors. Some basic exercises.


    If it weren''t for the staff interspersed in it, and railcar cameras and other equipment, it would give people a feeling of traveling back to World War II.


    Strictly speaking, it is the first time that Natalie has come to such a large-scale film set. She can''t help but feel a little curious. She has her big eyes open, and she patrols around and asks questions from time to time.


    It''s just that, apart from acting and scripts, Ryan is completely a layman in terms of props, shooting, deployment, etc., and was speechless when asked by Natalie.


    "You really are a fool." Finally Natalie gave him a disdainful look.


    "Come on, Nat." Ryan waved his hand unconvincedly, "I''m just an actor, not a director. I master what these things do."


    Under the leadership of Marek, a few people quickly found Spielberg. He was discussing something with the prop artist, and only nodded slightly when he saw him.


    Ryan just waited aside, watching the extras running around under the direction of the assistant director, and the filming was about to start. No matter how professional they are, at least they can become qualified live props. .


    "Hi, Ryan." Spielberg walked over, with unconcealable fatigue, and the beard on his face was extremely messy.


    "Hello, Stephen." Ryan introduced him, "This is Natalie Hirschle, born in Jerusalem, my good friend, a very good actor."


    "Hello, Miss Herschle."


    Maybe it''s the relationship between being Jewish. Spielberg was very friendly and asked briefly about her role.


    Natalie has done her homework a long time ago, and she answered without any leaks, and Spielberg kept nodding her head.


    "Ryan, you should have seen the script." He asked again.


    "Yes." Ryan nodded. He naturally understood what the other person meant. "Stephen, this is your work. I have said all the opinions I can come up with at Universal Studios."


    "Well, Ryan, if you have any ideas, please bring them up in time? Don''t be humble, we all know how good you are."


    "I will."


    talked with him a few more words, Spielberg started busy again, let his assistant walk around with Ryan and his group to get familiar, and then go back to the hotel.


    I ran hastily around the studio. Although the filming had not yet officially started, the atmosphere of the entire studio was somewhat depressed. After all, the subject matter was too heavy. In addition, everyone traveled a long distance and the weather was cold, so I soon went to the crew¡¯s stay. Hotel.


    This is the best hotel in Krakow. It is only limited by the local economy. The conditions are a bit rudimentary. Everyone else went back to the room and had jet lag. Natalie slept all the way on the planethis Instead, he got excited and got together with Ryan and talked about it.


    "So, you made a lot of comments on the script, and it was accepted by Mr. Spielberg?" Natalie was a little curious, how could this guy get a kick everywhere.


    "Yes. I made a few small comments... well, like the little girl who prompted Schindler to make a change."


    Natalie looked at him squintingly, and did not speak for a long time. Now it was Ryan''s turn to be curious, "What are you doing?"


    "It''s nothing."


    "Then why are you looking at me with such weird eyes?"


    "It is said that by staring at a person like this, you can see through his disguise. I want to see what is hidden in your soul, so that you can express an opinion on such a serious and heavy subject." Natalie said to herself. My friend became more and more curious, "Do you know, Ryan, if I were not a Jew, if it weren''t for my grandmother who had passed on intelligence to the Allied forces during World War II, I would not take the initiative to learn about this history."


    Ryan barked her teeth. She was obviously a cute little loli, but she wanted to look like a little adult, for fear that others might not know that she was smart and precocious.


    "Hurry up, Ryan!" Natalie got up from the sofa and looked down at him condescendingly.


    "Because I have good grades in history."


    He started running the train full of mouths, "Don''t you know, Nat? The magical and great Ryan Jenkins knows everything and can do everything."

 Chapter 102： Shot 1

    Entering the first day of March, the crew officially started silently. Compared with the previous life, the filming time of this film was a full year ahead of schedule.


    Ryan also saw three leading actors on the set. Like in his previous life, Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley and Ralph Fiennes will star in Oscar Schindler and Isaac Steyn respectively. And Amon Goss.


    He is not familiar with Ben Kingsley, but Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are different. He has seen a lot of works by these two men in the previous life.


    The former starred in the Star Wars series as early as the 70s and 80s, and later participated in the Star Wars Prequel, and had many rivals with Natalie. After entering the new century, he also starred in "Hurricane Rescue" and "Dragon Attack". "And other commercial masterpieces.


    As for the latter, Ryan can remember him very simply, in addition to Amon Goss, he is also the actor of Voldemort.


    Ryan heard Kingsley mentioned that Spielberg¡¯s favorite Schindler actor was Harrison Ford, but the latter refused his invitation. Warren Beatty once came to recommend himself, and the old man didn¡¯t even think about it. He refused, and it would be a disaster to let a **** with a messy statement come to play such a serious role.


    Although Oscar Schindler himself is an out-and-out dandy.


    Well, Liam Neeson is also a playboy. Ryan is an insider after all. He knows a little bit more. In recent years, he has worked with Helen Mirren, Brooke Shields, Julia Roberts and others. Have been with each other.


    By the way, last year Julia Roberts staged a realistic version of The Runaway Bride. Couldn''t it be him that was kicked? Ryan started to think again.


    The first filming was a scene of a large number of extras. Teams of Jews, driven by the Nazi SS, lined up like livestock, waiting for inspection and registration. Among them, the close-ups were either professional Jews. Actor of American origin, or''Schindler''s Jew''


    Everyone understands the heavy history behind this movie. Even if there is no role, many actors including Ryan and Natalie have come to the set, looking for a sense of that history.


    Different from the previous filming, perhaps Ryan made some suggestions that reminded Spielberg that he got in touch with the National Jewish Association and reached a consensus. The other party sent a few staff members to the crew to solve some problems. unnecessary trouble.


    "Is it cold, Nat." Ryan looked at the girl beside him with concern.


    Even though they were sitting in a tent and there were hot drinks to keep out the cold, Natalie''s thin body made him feel very uneasy.


    "I''m fine, Ryan, you still care about yourself. Look at you, your nose is red."


    After coming to Poland, maybe the atmosphere of the whole crew was too heavy. Ryan and Natalie were silent a lot, and disputes were reduced in public. Shooting such a serious subject, in which there are many survivors of the year, If you do anything rude, it would be too bad.


    Ryan is okay, but Natalie and Mrs. Shelly are truly Jewish. They have talked with many survivors of the past few days and have gained a lot of insights into that period of history, especially the first two days. When visiting Auschwitz concentration camp, this strong and intelligent girl shed tears very rarely.


    He couldn''t help but think of a report in his previous life, accusing Natalie Portman of refusing to issue a statement condemning Israel for driving out the Palestinians. How wonderful is the head of the reporter who wrote this article...


    It is definitely not a blessing for a nation to bear such a painful past. Spielberg held up the loudspeaker and directed the extras wearing the satellites to run around. The anxiety and heaviness on his face could not be concealed at all. Working long hours under great pressure is a great test to the human spirit.


    There are not many scenes belonging to Ryan and Natalie, especially the two are still students, it is impossible to stay in Poland for too long, and several of their scenes are scheduled in March.


    But the shooting progress is far from as smooth as expected. Except for the location of the concentration camp, many scenes were shot in the real locations of the year, which is tantamount to letting people go through that heavy history.


    Fortunately, people like Ryan and Natalie say that even if they feel something, they will only feel depressed. However, many of the Jewish survivors and their descendants in the past cried with headaches during the filming process. In this case, the crew had to suspend filming.


    In the trailer serving as the dressing room, Ryan looked at the shape in the mirror. After the makeup artist left, the bright colors in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his firm face was also changing, and his always standing back slowly bent down and became strong. And the smart boy instantly became a fearful and shrinking boy.


    hasn''t played any role for almost a year, and it seems that his acting skills have not deteriorated. He sighed in his heart. In fact, he knew very well that with the passage of time, the performance had penetrated into his soul.


    "Ryan, are you okay?" It was not the assistant who knocked on the door, but Natalie.


    "How did you come?"


    "I saw the assistant coming over and calling you, um...I came here instead of him."


    Ryan put on a dark yarmulke and a vest of the same color. He looked at the David Satellite on his left chest and sighed. If nothing else, he would be ¡®dead¡¯ in the camera today.


    Putting on a thick down jacket, Ryan couldn''t help but shudder as he walked out of the trailer. Although the sun is shining today, the temperature will never exceed ten degrees Fahrenheit, and his clothes are indeed thinner.


    "Hurry up, Ryan, Mr. Spielberg waits in a hurry."


    Maybe you can watch the acting of a friend live, Natalie seems a little impatient.


    In the makeshift studio, Ryan wrapped his down jacket and waited for Ralph Fiennes. He looked to his side from time to time, and Natalie was staring at him curiously. Ryan couldn¡¯t help thinking, yes Not to take her into her arms to keep warm.


    It seems like this is a good idea. The humanoid heater should work well, of course, provided that Natalie will not resist.


    Ralph Fiennes, wearing a Nazi uniform, walked in, with a faint smell of alcohol. In order to show Amon Goss¡¯ madness and evil, he would drink a small glass of whiskey before shooting.


    This guy continues to drink, and when the shooting is over, he will definitely set a Guinness World Record. Ryan has no doubt about this, after all, he has a lot of roles.


    However, this later Voldemort, like Gary Oldman, is very suitable for playing this evil role. Among other things, it is said that when he first appeared on the set in a Nazi military uniform, he was a Holocaust survivor. She was trembling with fright.


    "Ryan, Ralph, are you ready?" Spielberg finally confirmed.


    "no problem."


    Ryan took off his coat, picked up the prop brush, and walked into the built bathroom.


    After two simple test shots, Spielberg nodded and gestured to each department to indicate that the next official shooting would be.


    "The 28th scene, the 17th act, now begins"


    The thin Jewish boy squatted by the bathtub and used a brush dipped in soap bubbles to remove the stains on the bathtub. The sound of leather boots was heard outside. It must be the crazy murderer who has returned.


    The young man trembled in fear, and looked back at the bathroom door from time to time. He knew very well what fate awaited him if he could not finish the work in time.


    He held the brush tightly with both hands. This was the only tool he could determine his own destiny. He had to use all his strength and brushed the bathtub. Unfortunately, those stains were like Nazi fascists, and they were hard to eradicate.


    At this moment, the boy seemed to see his tragic ending.


    The sound of leather boots got closer and closer, and as the door was opened, a Nazi officer in a short-sleeved shirt stood by the bathroom door.


    The young man quickly stood up and saluted, and at the same time took off his dome hat, crouched on his body, and shrankly said, "Report...Sir, I can¡¯t get rid of the stain on the bathtub..."


    The Nazi officer came over, and the Jewish boy quickly stepped aside, his body trembling in fear.


    "What are you using?" the officer said, bending over to check the bathtub.


    "Soap... sir!"


    "Soap, why not use strong lye?" the officer asked dissatisfiedly.


    The young man squeezed the hat in his hand nervously and looked at the Nazi officer in secret. He didn''t know what fate was waiting for him.


    It seems that a century has passed, and unexpected words sounded, "Just so, you can go, I... forgive you!"


    The Nazi officer said, and made a sign of pardon.


    The Jewish boy hurriedly walked out of the bathroom with the joy that he had recovered his life.


    "great! It''s over!"


    After Spielberg yelled, Ryan touched his nose unconsciously It may be due to physique, he was a little disgusted with the smell of alcohol, just standing by Ralph Fiennes It''s really uncomfortable around me.


    Of course, there is cold!


    This is just a makeshift studio. There are scenery everywhere, but there are no heating stoves and other equipment.


    Fortunately, he still has a temporary assistant. Before he could go back, Natalie had already walked over with the down jacket and quickly put it on him.


    "Thank you, Nat." Ryan wrapped her clothes tightly.


    "Is it so cold?" Natalie rolled her eyes, pointed to the other side quietly, and said in a low voice, "Look at Mr. Fiennes. He only wore a short-sleeved shirt and didn''t become like you. It looks like."


    Ryan curled his lips and leaned to Natalie¡¯s ear and said, "Dear Nat, if I have that kind of fat, I won¡¯t be afraid of cold.


    Natalie almost laughed. Fortunately, she still remembered what movie she was shooting, so she couldn''t help but glared at Ryan.


    He scratched his face and quickly changed the subject, "Did you see it, Nat, this is my strength!"


    "But that''s all."


    Natalie was disdainful of her machine language, but she knew in her heart that Ryan''s acting skills were indeed extraordinary. She spent so many days on the crew and saw three more major actors perform. Compared with them, she felt that she was a good friend. It seems to be better.


    ...The third update is sent. These chapters are written a long time ago. I forgot to modify it. There are a lot of private goods. We are correcting it~ It is about to be on the shelves, and only two updates have been made recently~~

 Chapter 103： Shooting two

    Next, there were a few sporadic shots of Ryan, but no lines. They basically acted as live props. After the shooting, I quickly returned to the trailer and changed back to my own clothes. After armed with thick winter clothes, I felt that I hadn''t seen it for a long time. warm.


    Perhaps the whiskey drunk by Ralph Fiennes played a role. The state of the morning was surprisingly good. It brought out the evil qualities of the Nazi murderers to the fullest, especially in a few one-man shows, which used expressions of the psychology of Amon Goss And the expression of the action is almost expressive.


    "Did you see it, Nat. Movies are different from stage plays. Stage plays need to maintain a stable state, but movies need explosive performances. It requires you to convey all the feelings of the characters through words and actions in a short period of time. "


    Ryan and Natalie have been watching and learning by the side. Regardless of their talents, hard work is an essential quality for a successful actor.


    "Come on, Ryan, show off your poor knowledge, I know no less than you." Natalie''s expression was disdainful.


    "Well, dear Nat, I don''t want to argue with you on the set, it''s time for lunch." In the principle of good men not fighting women, Ryan pulled her up from the chair.


    While passing by Ralph Fiennes, Ryan said hello to him. This British actor is really good.


    "You know, Ralph, your performance today was great. I saw a **** devil. Especially just now, you performed very beautifully. I found kindness in the eyes of Amon Goss, but in an instant It became cold and cruel!"


    "Oh, Ryan, this is really not an enjoyable compliment." Ralph Fiennes shook his head. This role is indeed worth digging, but it will definitely be cursed by countless people after acting.


    Ryan patted his arm and said nothing. You know, when the crew came to him, the casting director was very reckless. Without explaining the role, he even took out a Nazi uniform for him to try on. , Was directly blasted out of the house by Ralph Fiennes.


    Conditions are limited. Lunch is very simple. Ryan, Jinsli and Natalie¡¯s mother and daughter get together, eating and talking about some situations during the shooting. To be precise, this is not a pleasant experience, although The atmosphere in the crew is more peaceful than most crews, but the dark clouds of history have always enveloped the sky on the set.


    The first problem was Spielberg. It didn''t take long for him to start up, but his blood and family history burdened him with a heavy burden, and gradually had the precursor of depression.


    Fortunately, an assistant who has followed him for many years passed the situation back to Los Angeles. About these few days, Spielberg¡¯s wife and children and a few old friends will fly to visit the class.


    A few people stopped talking about the topic. Jinsli''s satellite phone rang. After she connected, she didn''t say a few words and looked at Ryan.


    "Nicole''s phone." He said, handing over the satellite phone.


    Nicole? Ryan is a little strange, this is not his routine talk time with Nicole.


    "Nicole, what happened?" he asked.


    "My dear, a few French people have come here."


    "French?" Ryan rolled his eyes and looked at Natalie.


    "Yes, to be precise, it is an actor and a director named Jean Reynolds and...Luc Besson." Nicole''s voice paused, "Did you post the script for Natalie to France?"


    "Yes, I asked Pat to mail it to Jean Reynolds."


    "Well, they want to talk to you about the script. They are in Los Angeles."


    "It''s going to be a while, the scene with Natalie and I is not over yet." Ryan made a gesture to Natalie, but returned a pair of white eyes.


    "I told them that you were filming in Poland, but the director was very anxious and wanted to find you in Poland."


    "That''s it..." Ryan thought for a while, "Nicole, I haven''t seen you for a long time, if you have time, will you bring them to Poland?"


    After hanging up the phone, Ryan shook his head. If you change to another subject, even if Luc Besson takes a look, he won¡¯t be so anxious, but this kind of abnormal love between a little girl and a middle-aged uncle is too much for the French. With their appetite, they are sure to be like a wolf that has seen a sheep.


    Ryan briefly talked about the matter. Natalie and Jinsli are okay. After all, they all know the script he wrote specifically, but Mrs. Shelly was surprised.


    "Ryan, you mean, you wrote a script specifically for Natalie?" she asked.


    "Yes." Ryan glared at Natalie. It was obvious that she hadn''t mentioned it to her mother.


    "Oh, God."


    Mrs. Shelly exclaimed, looked at her daughter, then at Ryan, the two of them were making eye contact that no one understood, and they couldn''t help frowning.


    Is the relationship between them a little too good?


    After lunch, the crew moved outside, and Ryan resumed his costume as a Jewish boy. If the shooting goes well, he will soon die on the camera.


    This shot is equally important. After listening to Schindler¡¯s persuasion, Amon Goss seems to have made some benevolent changes. In the end, he reverted to a murderous demon, completely severing Schindler¡¯s extravagant hopes.


    This is also a factor that prompted Schindler to transform from sympathizer to hero.


    "Ryan, you walk down the stairs on the side of the set and walk straight forward, walking forward with a longing for life, when the gunfire sounds..."


    It is extremely rare for Steven Spielberg to come on stage to talk to the actors in person. Ryan also keeps nodding his head, he remembers this clip very clearly.


    When I saw this movie for the first time in my previous life, I saw Amon Goss letting go of the Jewish boy. He thought that this guy would discover with his conscience and evoke a little humanity, but in the end it was a more crazy killing.


    "cut!"


    Just as Ryan walked down the stairs, Spielberg yelled to stop. He looked at the camera and pointed at the top of his head, "Hat, don''t wear it so neatly, crooked a bit."


    The stylist immediately came up to fix his hat. After Spielberg nodded, Ryan returned to the stairs, behind which was the huge scenery of the villa.


    is the villa of Amon Goss. Naturally, it is impossible for the crew to build a villa on the high ground for filming. It is just a set.


    The scenes about the stairs are all distant shots. After solving the hat problem, Ryan easily completed the scene.


    After a five-minute break, Ryan played again.


    Standing on the empty gravel road, he glanced at the camera, and after Spielberg nodded, he turned around and let out a sigh of relief.


    "Boom~"


    Before the start of the call, there was a soft noise behind Ryan, and the dust and gunpowder slowly drifted towards the sky.


    "Paul! Damn it, what are your props doing?" Spielberg was furious. His team would make such a low-level mistake.


    "Sorry, Stephen, I''ll fix it right away."


    The props group crashed over a dozen people and surrounded Ryan. He also tilted his head to look at it. These guys are refurbishing the buried small elastic device.


    After about three minutes, everything returned to normal. After the on-the-spot shouted to start, Ryan quickly entered the state.


    The Jewish boy walked forward quickly, and his life was in front of him. At this moment, there was gunshots behind him. He was obviously frightened and he staggered and almost fell.


    In the faint smoke of gunpowder, he hesitantly looked around, trying to find the source of the gunfire, and to make sure that he was safe. When he found nothing but finally turned his head back, he glanced diagonally upward. I understand my destiny.


    He turned his head back, no longer flinching, no longer fearing, death is unavoidable after all. In that case, what''s the use of fear?


    The gunshot sounded again, and the boy strode forward without stopping.


    "Cut! Over, next shot." Spielberg''s shout came from behind the camera.


    The makeup artist and stylist were already there. They rushed up quickly, and took the time to fiddle with Ryan''s hair and face, applying a lot of dark brown liquid to his forehead.


    what is this? Ryan sniffed, not like the legendary special ketchup.


    After putting on make-up, Ryan came to the gravel ground with his tousled hair, bent over and tried the temperature of the ground, it was really cold!


    In this kind of weather, it¡¯s absolutely uncomfortable to pretend to be dead.


    However, as a professional actor, this is just the most basic quality. If you can''t bear this bit of coldness, then just wash home and lie in Nicole''s warm embrace and eat and wait to die.


    Slowly crawling on the ground, Ryan exhaled hard, UU reading www. Before uukanshu.com put his face on the stone, he turned his head and said to Ben Kingsley, "Ben, it must be done once, the ground is too cold."


    "Don''t worry, Ryan, I won''t be so cruel." The big Jewish nose gave him a thumbs up.


    Ryan lay down on the ground calmly, acting as a humanoid prop. I don¡¯t know whether it was a psychological factor or a physical problem in this life. Feeling the cold air on the ground burrowed into his body, but a moment¡¯s effort seemed to be unbelievable. The internal organs are almost turned into icy tuos.


    Fortunately, there is no difficulty in this shot. It was easy to pass. After Spielberg called to stop, Ryan just wanted to get up from the ground, suddenly felt numb in his limbs, as if his blood was frozen.


    was lying on the ground for less than ten minutes. He felt like he had been on an iceberg for an hour, and his limbs were almost gone.


    My body has always been very strong, and now it is at most minus ten degrees Celsius. Could it be that my other flaw is my fear of cold? Ryan suddenly thought of the outstanding advantages of this life and the same outstanding shortcomings, and suddenly had the urge to hold the **** to the sky.


    "Ryan, why don''t you get up yet? Enjoying lying on the ground?" Natalie sounded in his ears with a faint sarcasm.


    Then, a thin, thin hand grabbed his hand, and the warmth in it dispelled a lot of the cold.


    "Damn, Ryan, your hands are so cold, get up quickly, or you''ll get sick." Natalie didn''t care whether she was thin or not she could lift him up, picking up his shoulders and pulling upwards.

 Chapter 104： Shooting three

    "Ahie~"


    pulled out the tissue and wiped his red nose, Ryan curled up on the sofa, wrapped in a thick blanket.


    It is really bad luck to say that after coming back from the set yesterday, he caught a cold and some low-grade fever. After taking the medicine and sleeping until it was close to noon, he felt better.


    "Ryan, it''s time for you to take medicine." Jinsli walked into the bedroom with a water glass.


    She sighed slightly. Nicole Kidman is about to come to Poland. If she sees Ryan like this, she has no doubt that the woman will kill herself.


    "Give it to me, Pat." Natalie got up from her chair and took the water glass and pills.


    "Well, then... I won''t bother you two anymore, what do you want to eat at noon?"


    "Whatever you want." Ryan Urn said angrily.


    "Fool, there is no such thing as random food in this world."


    After watching Ryan take the pills, Natalie couldn''t help but stab him.


    "Dear Nat, I''m pitiful enough, do you want to argue with me?" Ryan stared, pale face, red nose, looking really pitiful.


    Natalie pouted and swallowed what she was about to say. Anyway, this guy is like this, so let him go.


    She stopped talking at all, slumped into the sofa, took a book, and read it.


    Ryan was really boring. The TV changed channels back and forth. There were always those programs that didn¡¯t understand what to say. He wanted to write something, and his head was dizzy. There was Natalie chatting with him before, but now the other party drills. In the book, he didn''t even say anything. Even if he mentioned the beginning of the conversation, the girl would only make a vague "um".


    "Nate, what are you looking at, so fascinated?" Ryan thought the book in her hand was a bit familiar.


    "Take it from your room in London." Natalie was not at all polite to him, "Sorry, I forgot to say hello to your master."


    Natalie shook the book in her hand to him, and now Ryan could see clearly-"Directing Basics".


    This book was bought when he and Nicole settled in London. At that time, he bought a lot of books on movies and screenplays, some of which were about directors. However, he bought it and put it on the shelf. I haven''t seen it.


    Nat will be interested in this? Ryan frowned and thought for a while, then slowly remembered, didn''t she? In the last year of her previous life, Natalie had already started her directing work.


    "Are you interested in the director?" he asked the relished Natalie.


    "Let''s put it this way, Ryan." Natalie put down the book, a bit stubborn between her eyebrows, "I found out, I want to beat you in acting... Well, it''s very difficult, but I don''t want to lose to you. Damn idiot, there must be one ability to completely overwhelm you!"


    Obviously, this girl''s ambition is not so big, and her ambition is not so strong.


    "Well, Nat, wait for the day when you get the best director Golden Man." Ryan''s eyes rolled, it seems that this is unlikely, "At that time I will buy the prime time of the three major TV networks. Say to the people across America that Ryan Jenkins is not as good as Natalie Herschel."


    "Then wait and see, Ryan." Natalie flashed her small fist at him.


    By the next day, Ryan will be better. His body is indeed strong. As long as he is out of the cold environment, he can recover very quickly.


    Regardless of Jinsli¡¯s persuasion, he insisted on going to the set for the simple reason that Natalie wanted to dedicate her first film performance before the camera.


    I have to say that this girl is very smart. Ryan is not as good as she is in acting talent. If he hasn''t been like a day for more than ten years, he has been acting every minute and every second. In terms of acting skills, it is absolutely impossible to surpass her.


    Although she has no experience of acting in front of the camera, Natalie has participated in more than ten stage plays. Except for the first scene, there is a mistake that novices must make-subconsciously looking at the camera-which led to several NGs. Then quickly found the status.


    In particular, she was a Jew born in Jerusalem, and her grandmother was a hero during World War II. She has her own understanding of this history. She plays this little girl who panicked and wanted to find a hiding place in the Nazi purge. With ease.


    "The 21st scene, the 11th act, start!"


    The Jewish girl with glasses and her mother rushed into the room in a panic and opened the floor mezzanine next to her. The middle-aged woman hiding inside hugged the girl into the mezzanine, but stopped her mother.


    "You have a blue card!"


    "Now the blue card is useless!" Mother waved her hand anxiously, "They want blood to wash the quarantine area!"


    "There is no place for you here." The middle-aged woman refused her request and wanted to pull to the floor.


    "Mom~" The girl screamed, she grabbed her mother''s hand tightly, "Mom, I want to be with you."


    "great!" Spielberg stood up satisfied.


    Mrs. Shelley picked up Natalie''s coat and was about to walk over. Ryan quickly took it over, smiled at her, and walked a few steps to Natalie''s side, and put the thick coat on the girl.


    shook her head, and Mrs. Shelly returned to the chair. I hope the two of them will grow up to be as close as they are now.


    "Nate, your performance is great." Ryan rarely praised her.


    "Really?" Natalie blinked, not modest at all, "I think so."


    Natalie''s roles are far more than Ryan''s. Like him, she also refused the pay for the performance, even if it didn''t have much money.


    Natalie¡¯s performance has been recognized by many professionals, including Steven Spielberg. In his words, if it weren¡¯t for Natalie¡¯s age, he would want her to play the role of the little girl in red. girl.


    In the previous shot, they shot Jewish girls avoiding the Nazi cleaning in the studio, and in the next shot they moved to the outside field to listen to the Nazi officers'' instructions.


    Under the flagpole in the barracks, hundreds of Nazi SS troops are ready to go, Amon Goss holding a map in hand, is giving a cold speech.


    "Today is a historic day, and today will be remembered forever by history. Many years later, young people will ask about what happened today with reverence. Today is a historic day, and you will be the participants.


    Amon Gauss''s face was very calm, as if the next major cleansing of the SS was nothing more than normal.


    "Six hundred years ago, the Black Death epidemic in Europe. This great plague killed countless people. The Jews were accused of being the source of the disease. At that time, King Kasimi of Poland allowed the Jews to come to Krakow, so they came. , A steady stream, with carts of luggage, took root here and developed."


    "They came with nothing, nothing! Now they are prosperous. For six hundred years, the Jews have been entrenched in Krakow, but all this will end tonight, and it will become a rumor, as if it had never happened."


    Amon Goss paused, and said with certainty, "Today is a historic day!"


    After Spielberg yelled to stop, the surrounding area was quiet, surrounded by Jews nearby, and their eyes were full of disgust and hatred. Even though they knew that these were actors, they did not hide their views on the Nazis. attitude.


    This is a nation with distinct loves and hates! Even Natalie''s fist was shaking slightly.


    Ryan shook her hand quietly to relax her.


    Perhaps the Jews have flaws of this kind, but they are a people that must avenge revenge. Since the end of World War II, whether it is Israel or the Jewish organizations of various countries, they have never given up on the liquidation of the Nazis.


    Even those Nazis who were stained with the blood of their compatriots, hidden deep in the savannahs of Africa and the tropical rainforests of South America, they have persistently pursued and killed them again and again, never relaxing.


    In order to completely nail Hitler to the pillar of shame by the Nazis, both official and civil organizations are making unremitting efforts. Perhaps many people will deny the existence of the Holocaust, but after the release of "Schindler''s List", All this has been recognized.


    He couldn''t help but think of the ancient capital that had experienced catastrophes in his previous life. When he went to Japan for interviews, he faced the Japanese officials who received him denying the massacre during the formal meeting. It was not a protest or an angry departure. , But responded with a smile to''set aside the dispute and develop together''.


    Shooting is still going on. Although there is no shot of his own, Ryan will act as an extra from time to time. Anyway, he just hides in the crowd and acts as a living prop.


    Towards the end of the afternoon, an assistant of the crew came over and whispered a few words in Jinsli¡¯s ear. Ryan keenly caught the name "Nicole Kidman" and immediately understood that the other party was rushing from Los Angeles. Come hereNicole is here! "Ryan was full of this idea, and regardless of Natalie next to her, she rushed towards the door of the studio with a strange cry.


    Gold-red curly hair drifted in the wind, purple tight-fitting windbreaker wrapped his bumpy body, and even though tiredness was written on his white and ruddy face, the moment he saw him, he burst into a smile that was even brighter than the noon sun.


    This is the person he is closest to and the person he loves most in this life.


    "Nicole!"


    Ryan made another strange cry, and he rushed over like a cannonball. At this moment, only Australian girls were in his eyes.


    "Hey, honey, slow down."


    Nicole Kidman embraced the rushing Ryan into his arms, and the huge impulse drove her back several steps. While steadying her body, she kissed his forehead forcefully.


    "Nicole, I miss you." Ryan hugged her tightly, reluctant to let go for a moment.


    "I miss you too, dear." Nicole hugged him likewise.


    "Cough~cough~"


    heard a reminding cough, Ryan curled his lips, let go of Nicole Kidman, and looked over.


    Those were two men and three women. Except for Nicole''s assistants, he knew one of them. His big nose was too eye-catching. It was Jean Renault.


    As for the other fat man with rough edges, it should be Luc Besson.

 Chapter 105： With the French

    greeted Spielberg, then called Natalie, and the group returned to the hotel and went directly to the living room of the Ryan suite.


    Under Nicole''s introduction, the two sides knew each other. The three people who came with her were French Jean Renault and Luc Besson, as well as his assistants.


    "Sit down for a while, I have something to talk to Ryan."


    After the waiter brought coffee and hot tea, Nicole directly pulled Ryan into the bedroom, but the original bright smile disappeared without a trace, and the beautiful face tended to turn into an iceberg.


    "What happened, Nicole?"


    Close the bedroom door, and see the Australian girl when it turns overcast, there is a little drum in his heart.


    "Ryan, what are you thinking? Why did you write such a script? God, what did you think of a twelve-year-old girl falling in love with a middle-aged killer?" Nicole pressed him on the small sofa. Staring at him condescendingly.


    "I..." Without waiting for him to explain, she said again, "Or do you start to enter the rebellious period, full of thoughts? Do you know that such works will cause huge controversy."


    "A box office can only be obtained if there is controversy." Ryan whispered, noticing a knife-like look in his eyes, he quickly closed his mouth obediently.


    "Box office? What Nat''s said is right. At a young age, you are all alone..." Nicole hadn''t studied Chinese specifically, and obviously couldn''t remember how the smell of copper would be said. "Also, this is what you did for Nat. A specially prepared script? This puts her under tremendous pressure."


    "Well, Nicole, arguments and pressure will only be against me. Besides, this is just a fairy tale about a killer." Ryan didn''t understand, but she made some changes to the plot, and Mrs. Shelly watched it. After that, there was no objection, why did Nicole make such a big fire.


    "Fairy Tale?" Nicole''s eyes widened and widened, "The little girl and the killer slept with each other, and the middle-aged man took a bath for the girl, God! Ryan, did you peek at Lolita..."


    "Wait!" Ryan''s eyes opened wider and wider, "I didn''t write such a plot..."


    These are obviously plots in the previous life movies, and even the plot of bathing was cancelled under the strong opposition of Natalie, but I removed these overly sensitive things, how...


    Nicole moved quickly and took out the script from her handbag. Ryan quickly flipped through it, and her face became darker as she looked at it.


    The script is not a copy of his mailing, but a machine-made version. Many plots have been added to it. Even the relationship between the girl and the killer that he specifically changed has been changed back. The most excessive thing is that there is also a paragraph about Leon as Marriage. Tilda taking a shower.


    Damn it! Ryan cursed, without asking, he also knew that Luc Besson must have changed the content of the script without authorization.


    Not to mention that there is no infringement involved, as long as he shakes his head, none of these plots can be realized.


    What are these French people thinking? Wouldn''t it be dead without those shots in the movie? He doesn''t understand that if such a film is made, it is likely that it will be designated as NC-17 if it wants to be released in North America, which will cause the person who starred in Matilda and his author to face a huge turmoil.


    "I didn''t write this..." Ryan explained to Nicole quickly and simply, and the Australian girl''s face looked a lot better.


    It''s just that when the two of them walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room, the way she looked at Luc Besson changed.


    Speaking of, for several years of living together in this world, Ryan and Nicole Kidman have influenced each other, and their personalities have changed a lot from their previous lives.


    was sitting on the sofa surrounded by people, and the atmosphere in the crowd was a little embarrassing. After taking a sip of coffee, Luc Besson set his eyes on the boy opposite.


    He has heard of him, and he has watched both "Sixth Sense" and "Terminator 2", and was very impressed with his performances, especially the peculiar structure of "Sixth Sense", which suits his appetite better.


    At first, he was a little surprised when he learned that the script was written by a boy. However, he didn''t care too much. There were too many geniuses among Jewish people.


    Besides, since the "Sixth Sense", the other party, like most Hollywood film practitioners, has focused on business, whether it is "Home Alone", or later "Terminator 2" and "Bodyguard". "And so on, they are all completely commercial productions.


    Luc Besson is different from most directors on the European continent. He knows that Hollywood''s business operation model will have an increasing impact on the European film market, and it will take a few years to completely conquer the European market.


    What about my colleagues in Europe? It only keeps criticizing Hollywood for nothing but business and self-righteousness, but is it useful?


    Besides, who is the real self-righteous person? I''m afraid they are those who shoot self-talking works regardless of the audience''s feelings.


    He is a very ambitious and courageous person. Since Hollywood movies can flourish in the European market, why can''t his works enter the North American market and why can''t he enter Hollywood?


    If you want to open the American market, you need a work that meets his own tastes and American concepts. Since shooting "Atlantis," he has been conceiving but has never been able to find a suitable idea. .


    Until some time ago, his ** actor and friend Jean Reynolds brought the script of "Killer Leon", which was mixed with several setting drafts. It can be seen that Leon used the image of Jean, that little girl...


    He looked at Natalie sitting next to Ryan, this is Matilda? He was too young and too thin. He didn''t even have a small bag on his chest. It was just the airport.


    Luc Besson directly rejected the image of Natalie. If Ryan knew what he was thinking about, he would definitely wash his face with hot tea.


    Ryan sat quietly. As for the negotiation, it was better to leave it to the professional Jinsli. He just kept flipping through the script made by the machine.


    After a long time, Nicole dragged him, Ryan smiled apologetically to the opponent, and said, "Mr. Besson, I can leave "Killer Leon" to you, and I can also help you with the American system. The film parties match up."


    After all, he has the experience of a previous life. Ryan knew that this guy was not welcomed by European filmmakers and always wanted to go to Hollywood.


    Luc Besson made a gesture of "please say,". In addition to being a film director, he is also a businessman, not so stupid to think that the other party is really a naive boy.


    "At that time, there were still a few setting drawings that were mailed with the script. I don''t know if you have read them." Ryan asked.


    "Of course, I can see that Leon is based on Jean''s image."


    "Yes, after watching "Nikita", I was very impressed by Mr. Renault." Ryan looked at Jean Renault''s big nose unconsciously, and the other party smiled kindly.


    He replied with the same brilliant smile. This time he looked at Natalie and said, "Two aspects, one is that this script was written for my best friend, Matilda¡¯s idea came from her, and the other is ..."


    Ryan put the machine-printed script on the coffee table, "Remove the plots added in it!"


    Luc Besson¡¯s face is very ugly. The plot changes and additions in the script are derived from him. He is so demanded by a boy with so many young men in public. Naturally, he will not be happy in his heart. If it weren¡¯t for this script, it¡¯s really attractive. , The other party is almost a guarantee of the box office in North America, he really wants to leave directly.


    seems to know what the other person is thinking, Ryan continued, "Mr. Besson, if I''m not wrong, you want to use this movie to open up the American market, right?"


    "That''s right." It''s no secret, no one in the European film circle knew he wanted to enter Hollywood.


    "I don¡¯t know how you view American audiences. Compared to the current American society, this subject matter is somewhat sensitive. It may be located in Europe. This kind of Lolita love affair will not arouse the audience¡¯s disgust, but in North America, It''s different. The United States is indeed very open, but it is limited to a few coastal states. If the text of the script is turned into a picture, it will cause huge criticism. If the film is completed, it will be rated as NC-17 by the MPAA. It''s over."


    "The most touching part of this story lies in the feelings, but there are many ways to express feelings, and sometimes the vague and obscure feelings can move people''s hearts even more."


    Luc Besson showed a thoughtful expression. He is not someone who does not know how to work around, but abandoning those plots, really...


    "Don''t forget, it will be a girl in her early ten years who will be involved in the filming!" In front of Natalie, Ryan had something difficult to say. If Luc Besson really insists on this, then take back the script. All right.


    This movie may not fail without him. There are many film companies in Hollywood waiting to invest in the script he created. His past achievements have given him a lot of confidence.


    Of course, that is only the last choice. As long as possible, keeping the original team is the first choice.


    How to choose between ideas and interests? It is not difficult for a director who runs a film company .


    What''s more, although the other party has some connections in Hollywood, it will definitely be a lot more convenient for Ryan Jenkins to match up with them.


    "Okay." Luc Besson chose the market.


    However, the little character of the Frenchman came out again, "I hope I can hold an audition for the role of Matilda in New York."


    Now, Ryan¡¯s face is not looking good. If it is not for his friends, why should he waste so much saliva with each other? If Natalie can''t play Matilda, he would rather let this movie disappear forever.


    Luc Besson is obviously not a vegetarian. His counterattack is sharp. "I just talked to Miss Natalie. Knowing that she has a rich acting experience, I think Miss Natalie will definitely not Mind the audition and get this role on your own strength, not because of a good friend of Ryan Jenkins."


    This is a very obvious run and aggressive approach, but Natalie is competitive and has her own pride. Just as Ryan wanted to say something, she pulled her arm hard and almost fell on the sofa.


    "Ryan..." Natalie looked over, Ryan opened her mouth, and finally closed it.


    "I agree to audition." Natalie showed her chin.


    Forget it, Ryan shrugged and assumed it was to protect Natalie''s self-esteem. With her acting skills, it''s easy to get this role, isn''t it?


    Besides, he will find someone of his own as the production manager.

 Chapter 107： With the Poles

    Luc Besson only stayed in Poland for a day before returning to France. He was anxious to travel across the ocean to enter Hollywood. He didn¡¯t have so much time to waste. There was Jinsli who left with him. After all, there are a lot of things about the script. Need her to handle it.


    Besides, she is also responsible for the matchmaking between Luc Besson''s film studio and Miramax.


    Co-production is a must. Luc Besson is famous in Europe, but he is an out-and-out newcomer in North America. The vast majority of American audiences in this era will not watch foreign films.


    Even if the title of Ryan Jenkins'' screenwriter is hung on it, if it is a French movie, it will still be ignored by many people.


    As for the leather bag company of Ryan, there is no money to mix it with. The 20 million US dollars investment in "Jurassic Park" almost emptied its book.


    He didn''t have any excess funds in his hands. The publishing house paid 5 million US dollars in author''s remuneration, except for the taxes he paid, all of which was invested by Scott in the stock market.


    In the past three years, he and Nicole have held a lot of stocks in IT companies, but few investors are fools. Many people are optimistic about this industry, even though Scott has contacted privately. Some small shareholders such as Microsoft and Dell, but no one is willing to sell their shares.


    Most of these were absorbed from the market. Ryan remembered in his previous life, there are only a few of them. Originally, I wanted to tell Scott to pay attention to Yahoo. Fortunately, I haven¡¯t called yet, I remembered that Yahoo has not yet been established. Otherwise, it will be another big joke.


    Although Jinsli was missing as an agent and nanny, there was a Nicole Kidman who spoiled him very much. Especially when the other party heard that he was caught in the cold from filming, he almost didn''t go to the people from Universal Pictures to quarrel. One, for this, he also called Jinsli to question Jinsli.


    As the progress of the filming progressed, the state of the people in the crew began to decline significantly. The heavy atmosphere was very torturous. Every time Spielberg held up the loudspeaker and called extras to line up, he always had a face. Depression.


    "It makes me feel like a Nazi!" He complained to his wife.


    Fortunately, the atmosphere within the crew is very good. Jewish actors and German actors have always coexisted peacefully. Every Sabbath, many German actors would wear Jewish dome hats and gather in front of the candlelight to listen to Jewish actors telling the story about the Sabbath. .


    "Schindler''s List" has maintained a low-key state since it was launched, and it is far away from the activity center of journalists and paparazzi. There have always been few reporters, especially journalists from North America and Western Europe.


    However, there is no eternal secret in this circle, not to mention the huge number of crew members that are quite eye-catching. Since a few days ago, sporadic reporters and paparazzi have appeared near the studio.


    When Nicole Kidman came to Krakow, he brought not only the French, but also the tabloid reporters who followed.


    Since Nicole became popular, news about this glamorous girl has been rushing, especially after she rejected Tom Cruise¡¯s pursuit several times, causing the other party to become irritated and outraged to Ryan Jenkins, she became the media. The **** in the eyes.


    She is glamorous, noble, outstanding temperament, and has quite good acting skills. She is fashionable and beautiful. She has endorsed several luxury brands. Unconsciously, she can always lead the fashion trend.


    Moreover, she and Ryan Jenkins also established a joint venture film company-they naturally know what the company is-became a female boss, befriended Judy Foster, and had the same name as Julia Roberts.


    The most important thing is that she is the guardian of Ryan Jenkins. Any piece of news can attract a lot of attention.


    Many tabloids have paparazzi guarding her door all year round. Due to Ryan Jenkins¡¯s underage relationship, they need to constrain, but for Nicole Kidman, you don¡¯t have to be polite. In other words, they She will be monitored 24 hours a day.


    So, after Nicole set foot on the Polish soil, there were more than ten journalists paparazzi who followed her.


    Then, they dug up the big news, Ryan Jenkins starred in a new movie, Steven Spielberg''s work, a movie about the Holocaust in World War II!


    The news came back to North America, but only one day and night, dozens of more people with cameras hanging around the crew.


    "I''m sorry, Stephen." Nicole didn''t know what to say.


    "It doesn''t matter, the news will go out sooner or later." Spielberg didn''t mind that the film needs enough influence, and these are pre-publications.


    Nicole walked to the rest area with some embarrassment, and opened her hands to Ryan and Natalie who were watching the excitement.


    "Damn, those guys are like the CIA, why didn''t I realize that they were following Poland." Nicole complained.


    "Well, Nicole, Stephen won''t mind." Ryan sat on the chair and shook his head. The reporter and paparazzi were indeed in good spirits, but unfortunately they used the wrong place.


    "Really? Ryan." Nicole suddenly opened his eyes. "Being your guardian is really stressful."


    "If I have a problem in the future, they will definitely clamor in the newspaper, Nicole Kidman, blame you, you didn''t educate our American youth role models well." Ryan said badly, and again Hit Natalie with her shoulder, "Right, Nat?"


    "Ah, what?" Natalie was obviously in a trance.


    She didn''t know if it was her own illusion. Since Nicole came to Krakow, Ryan had obviously devoted all her energy to her, and she often ignored herself.


    There was a sudden noise at the door of the studio, and it was higher than for a while. It seemed to be Polish, and it didn''t sound like reporters around the door.


    The sudden situation immediately attracted the attention of the three of Ryan, who couldn''t help walking out of the rest area and looking out of the set.


    "What happened?"


    The three looked at each other, and it was obvious that no one understood Polish.


    "Hitler! Hitler!"


    ''S voice suddenly became neater, and the three of Ryan could understand it without interpreting it.


    this is¡­¡­


    Ryan looked around, the faces of the Jewish actors all changed, and many people stood up and began to focus on the entrance of the studio.


    "Where is Steven?" Ryan realized that the director''s chair was empty, and Spielberg was obviously not nearby.


    "Nicole, hurry up and get Stephen and the representative of the National Jewish Association."


    Natalie followed the crowd to the door long ago, Ryan hurriedly yelled to Nicole and ran after him.


    Hundreds of Poles gathered outside the set. They held high signs and cloth strips painted with anti-Semitic symbols and shouted feverishly. They painted a lot of buildings and scenery on the outside of the set. The **** of the Nazis.


    "What''s wrong?" Ralph Fiennes came up from behind. He hadn''t removed his makeup yet, and was wearing a Nazi uniform.


    An old woman who seemed to have experienced that era, suddenly rushed over and shouted at Ralph Fiennes, "Nazi Germans are the most charming and charming people. They have never killed innocent people. Jews. Lies! The Jews are lying!"


    Obviously, she regarded Ralph Fiennes as a real Nazi.


    The shouting Poles gradually calmed down. They looked at the location of the crew with all kinds of eyes. Ryan was very sure that these guys must be staunch anti-Semitists. If it weren¡¯t for the crowds in the crew, these guys. Uncertainty will hit the set.


    Why haven¡¯t they appeared before? Ryan had just flashed this doubt when he saw dozens of journalists from various countries around him, and he knew clearly.


    These people really take advantage of the situation!


    But, do they really understand what they are doing? Charismatic soldiers in their mouths, but the executioners who invaded their homeland.


    is really amazing, it seems that it will exist everywhere to defend the aggressor.


    "The Jews get out of this land! The Jews get out of this land!"


    Several young people clamored, and they kept looming forward, only twenty feet away from the place where the crew gathered. The flashlight in the hands of the reporter paparazzi seemed to give them great confidence.


    "Hurry up and call the police." Outstanding support for Nazis and racism is a taboo in the civilized world. Someone has already ran back to call.


    "Jewish pig! Jewish pig!" The curse on the other side became more and more ugly.


    Ryan can''t control the others. Natalie next to him is a true Jew. He just wanted to bring her back to the set, but found that the girl was gone!


    "I didn''t expect that in this once-suffering country, there will be so many people, regardless of black and white, who worship people who invade and slaughter their compatriots so fanatically. You say we are pigs, we at least still have Mind! But what about you, are your heads all water?"


    Obviously, the talking girl has learned some of Ryan''s vocabulary thoroughly.


    No one knows When did that thin girl stand at the forefront of the crew, her face is as black as marble, "To put it bluntly, you are only jealous, jealous that the Jews are more industrious than you, Richer than you..."


    Nat! Ryan sighed. Although Natalie is smart and precocious, she hasn''t completely escaped from the innocence of this age.


    You go to reason with a bunch of lunatics, can they listen to it? Belief and ethnic issues, even if it is another twenty years later, are still major issues that plague the entire world.


    Looking at the Poles who were eager to move, Ryan knew that he could not let this proud and stubborn girl continue to speak, otherwise, God would know what would happen.


    "Who is that girl?"


    "Ha, I just came here when I met such a big news, so lucky."


    "Hurry up, hurry up, keep shooting, don''t stop!"


    "I have thought about the title, brave Jewish girl single against the remnants of the Nazis."


    Those paparazzi were afraid that the world would not be chaotic. When they clicked and pressed the camera shutter, they kept making various comments.


    "Nate, come back soon." Ryan shouted as he walked towards her.


    "Ryan, don''t go there." Fiennes gave him a hand, and then he wanted to walk over and drag Natalie back.


    "not good!"


    A Polish young man was probably irritated by Natalie''s sharp words, rushed out of the crowd more than ten feet away, and rushed towards her.

    Several young people clamored, and they kept looming forward, only twenty feet away from the place where the crew gathered. The flashlight in the hands of the reporter paparazzi seemed to give them great confidence.


    "Hurry up and call the police." Outstanding support for Nazis and racism is a taboo in the civilized world. Someone has already ran back to call.


    "Jewish pig! Jewish pig!" The curse on the other side became more and more ugly.


    Ryan can''t control the others. Natalie next to him is a true Jew. He just wanted to bring her back to the set, but found that the girl was gone!


    "I didn''t expect that in this once-suffering country, there will be so many people, regardless of black and white, who worship people who invade and slaughter their compatriots so fanatically. You say we are pigs, we at least still have Mind! But what about you, are your heads all water?"


    Obviously, the talking girl has learned some of Ryan''s vocabulary thoroughly.


    No one knows, UU reading www. When did the thin **** uukanshu.com stand at the forefront of the crew, her face is as black as Marble, "To put it bluntly, you are just jealous, jealous that the Jews are harder and richer than you..."


    Nat! Ryan sighed. Although Natalie is smart and precocious, she hasn''t completely escaped from the innocence of this age.


    You go to reason with a bunch of lunatics, can they listen to it? Belief and ethnic issues, even if it is another twenty years later, are still major issues that plague the entire world.


    Looking at the Poles who were eager to move, Ryan knew that he could not let this proud and stubborn girl continue to speak, otherwise, God would know what would happen.


    "Who is that girl?"


    "Ha, I just came here when I met such a big news, so lucky."


    "Hurry up, hurry up, keep shooting, don''t stop!"


    "I have thought about the title, brave Jewish girl single against the remnants of the Nazis."


    Those paparazzi were afraid that the world would not be chaotic. When they clicked and pressed the camera shutter, they kept making various comments.


    "Nate, come back soon." Ryan shouted as he walked towards her.


    "Ryan, don''t go there." Fiennes gave him a hand, and then he wanted to walk over and drag Natalie back.


    "not good!"


    A Polish young man was probably irritated by Natalie''s sharp words, rushed out of the crowd more than ten feet away, and rushed towards her.

 Chapter 107： friendship

    What is a friend? Some people will say that friends are used at critical moments.


    What is an idol? Some fans will say that an idol is the kind of existence where I have the guts to shoot the President of the United States as long as he pays attention to me.


    What is the fan? There are two criteria for qualified fans. One is that the idol I worship is the greatest existence in the universe. What she says and does is the only criterion of truth. The other is that if the idol makes a mistake, please refer to the first. Article!


    Natalie Herschel, Ryan Jenkins¡¯s only friend; Natalie Portman, Lu Ming¡¯s favorite movie star, none of them.


    A friend is still an idol, Ryan has long been confused. Although her position in his heart is far less important than Nicole Kidman, it will not hurt her any bit.


    Just when the Polish young man punched out and Natalie was silent in fright, Ryan strode between the two.


    Ralph Fiennes only felt a gust of wind passing by, and the boy had already met the Poles.


    At this critical moment, Ryan''s long-term and unremitting exercise, and the simple fighting skills that George has learned, played a role.


    He grabbed the Pole''s arm, twisted his waist and turned around, using the strength of the opponent to rush over, exhausted all his strength, and threw the guy to the ground.


    After the muffled sound of "Boom~", the sand was flying, and the Polish youth lay on the gravel howling miserably.


    "Come on, Nat!"


    The people on both sides froze for a while. Ryan took Natalie''s arm and ran to his side quickly. The back fell just now almost exhausted his strength. If there is another one on the other side, it will definitely not be his five feet. The five-inch small body can withstand it.


    "Catch him, catch this murderer, don''t let him run away."


    After ¡¡¡¡ came Polish, Ryan couldn''t understand, but he could probably guess what they were yelling.


    "Hurry up, hurry up, protect Ryan and Nat!"


    Ryan''s popularity in the crew and Natalie''s Jewish identity played a role, and many people in the crew also came up.


    At this time, there was a intensive sound of footsteps on the set. There were thousands of Jewish people gathered here. They probably heard that anti-Semitic elements were making trouble, and they all rushed out.


    "Nate, come here quickly." Entering his camp, Ryan couldn''t help but said, pulling up the girl and preparing to run towards the studio.


    "No, I want to stand with my compatriots."


    The group of Jews is famous, although Natalie has been fully Americanized, but some traditions are not so easy to disappear.


    "My dear, don''t you understand?" Ryan was really convinced, and she became stubborn, not inferior to him, "The two of us are mocking faces now. Staying here will only make those guys more excited..."


    "Ryan, what the **** is going on?" Steven Spielberg finally arrived, first meeting the two people who got to the back of the crowd.


    "Honey, what the **** happened?" Not only Nicole, this would even bring George and Mrs. Shelly over.


    "That''s it..."


    Ryan used the simplest language to tell the story of the matter without any concealment. You should know that there are members of the National Jewish Association standing next to Spielberg. They should have a way to settle this little thing.


    "You two!" Nicole and Mrs. Shelly both stared.


    How fanatical the racists are, how could they not know, in case these two kids...


    They don¡¯t care if you are a big star, a rich man, or a minor!


    "Hand over the assassin! Hand over the assassin! The Jews get out! The Jews get out of our place!"


    Some Poles outside probably know some English, but at this time they began to clamor again, and the noise was louder than that.


    "Nicole, you quickly leave with Ryan and Nat, and we will take care of the rest." Spielberg squeezed his forehead. This kind of thing happened, obviously giving him a headache.


    However, he could not say anything. After all, what these two people did was to protect the reputation of the Jews, but the way was a little wrong.


    "Ryan, I remember that your shot was finished, right?" Nicole held his hand tightly, fearing that he would disappear, "Follow me back to Los Angeles tomorrow."


    "But..." Nicole interrupted as soon as he wanted to argue, "Nothing but, you are not allowed to go out after you go back."


    "I''m sorry, Nicole." Natalie walked around from the other side of her mother. "This is my fault. Ryan just wants to protect me."


    said, looking at my friends, it is really lucky to have such friends.


    "It''s okay, Nat, even without you, this **** will continue to make trouble." Despite Nicole''s words, the look in Natalie''s eyes is not as gentle as before.


    This is really a big grievance! Ryan wanted to complain loudly. When did he take the initiative to provoke others, was it okay for them to find him?


    Apparently, he blamed the other party for the initial mischief of Tom Cruise.


    Of course, in his mind, if Tom Cruise didn''t hit Nicole Kidman''s idea, how could he provoke him.


    However, he understands that Nicole Kidman is getting angry, and even though the other party drowns him, he is not a good-tempered person in the past and this life.


    The Polish police quickly stepped in. The explosion-proof police opened a barrier between the two sides. Fortunately, neither side developed to the point of fighting, except for the guy who was thrown by Ryan on the gravel ground. At most, the rest are disputes between quarrels.


    But things will never end like this. Openly promoting Nazis and racism, destroying the property of the crew, still happened under the eyelids of reporters from various countries. In the words of the leading police officer, this is completely discrediting the entire country of Poland.


    The two members from the National Jewish Association have already made contact with the country. With Jewish power, this matter will inevitably rise to the diplomatic level.


    Compared with the atmosphere of the crew and the clamor of the Poles, the reporter and the paparazzi were excited and sighed that their trip was worthwhile. Within a few days of coming here, they got the big news.


    Rail Jenkins, in order to defend his friends, fight racists!


    This title does not seem to have enough weight, so "Ryan Jenkins, in order to maintain the reputation of the Jewish nation, is against terrorists" should be good!


    Paparazzi, it is naturally how exaggerated, how to attract attention, how to cause controversy, just write it, as for responsibility and conscience? What it is.


    The bottom line of reporters should be higher. Several reporters from the United States got together and exchanged opinions.


    "Ryan deserves to be a role model for all American teenagers, courage and talent are equally outstanding, this is the idol worthy of our big book!" The reporter who said this not only wears the "Los Angeles Times" nameplate, but also clearly has Jews in appearance. Characteristics.


    "Poland is indeed too much a country, and it publicly promotes Nazism!"


    Anti-Nazi and anti-Hitler This is the most basic political correctness. The reporters of these major newspapers will naturally not make mistakes on this.


    "Compared to Ryan, I care more about who this girl is!"


    Someone used a''Stand Shoot'' style camera, and he pointed to the thin Natalie, "She is the first person to stand up on the crew. She looks at most eleven or twelve years old, but she has such courage. It''s really amazing."


    "By the way, Ryan threw the Pole to the ground just to save her." Someone added.


    "I also saw that Ryan left with her hand." The topic naturally began to change to eight o''clock.


    As an entertainment reporter, the heart of gossip is naturally more vigorous than others. Unknowingly, a group of people get together to discuss this boring topic.


    Soon, news about this conflict spread back to the United States. You must know that the large-scale media in North America are almost all controlled by Jews or Jewish people. It is conceivable which side the public opinion will be biased.


    Poland also received a diplomatic note. The crew of "Schindler''s List" has become the subject of official attention. Spielberg is also a blessing in disguise, reducing many unnecessary troubles in the follow-up.


    With media reports, "Schindler''s List" has completely entered the public''s field of vision, and the crew has begun to release limited news to create momentum for the film. Under the operation of the National Jewish Association, this history has been constantly mentioned. The massacre has once again become a hot topic.


    As for Ryan and Natalie, they were only slightly mentioned by the newspapers. Before they appeared, they were completely overwhelmed by massive news about World War II and the Nazis.


    ¡­¡­


    "Ryan, I blamed me for being bad, and you were scolded by Nicole." Natalie rarely bowed her head in front of him.


    This is the VIP passage at the airport. Due to Nicole''s strong request, Ryan could only return to Los Angeles ahead of time, and Natalie still had a lot of scenes not filmed, so she had to stay with her mother.


    "Nate, you are my best friend. I won''t let those craps hurt you anyway I believe that if you change over, you will also help me, won''t you?" The separation is imminent, a pair of young men and women are less tit-for-tat and more tender.


    "Of course." Natalie waved her small fist and said very positively, "I said, Ryan, I will always support you, we are best friends!"


    "Okay, see you in New York some time!" Ryan also raised his fist and touched her, "We must take down the role of Matilda and show Luc Besson a little bit of color to the French guy. Look, let him know that dear Nat is an acting genius!"


    "I will." Natalie was confident.


    "The time is up, I should go." Ryan gave the girl a small hug, she was really thin, "Nicole, George, let''s go."


    "Goodbye, Nat. Goodbye, Mrs. Shelly."


    Watching Ryan and his party disappear into the boarding gate, Natalie still had no intention of leaving, so Mrs. Shelly pulled her.


    "Nate, we should go back." She reminded.


    "Can you wait a while, mom?" Natalie showed a pleading expression, "Shall we leave after Ryan''s plane takes off?"


    Natalie stood quietly in front of the glass window, blinking her bright eyes, watching the huge plane climb into the sky.


    The friendship between us will never change, right, Ryan? Immediately turning eleven years old, apart from her parents, Natalie feels that she has someone who is very important to her.

 Chapter 108： 1 day with no foot

    Sitting on the balcony on the second floor of the villa, the warm sunlight shone on him, dispelling the cold in Poland without a trace, Ryan turned the pen in his hand, and narrowed his eyes comfortably. Life is really pleasant.


    No need to go to school, no publicity, no movies, no novel and album signing meetings, life is really good.


    Unfortunately, before the Oscars ceremony, he could only stay on the second floor of the villa, let alone go out, not even the next floor... Well, in other words, he was caught by Nicole. Kidman is banned.


    This is a sequelae of the Polish incident. When a woman doesn''t want to reason with you, it''s useless to say anything, especially a woman who is in her menstrual cycle and is very emotional.


    Ryan is naturally not so stupid to touch Nicole Kidman''s mold, isn''t he just staying in the room? For people who have experienced the Internet era in the previous life, this is too trivial.


    It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t have a computer or internet, and it¡¯s still somewhat boring. Fortunately, the maid sent a lot of tabloids, so I can watch the gossip and relieve my boredom.


    Suddenly a spot of light flashed in the distance. Ryan just raised his eyelids and squinted his eyes again. You don¡¯t need to look closely to know that there must be a reporter who was taking a sneak shot with a telephoto lens. There are a lot of paparazzi around the villa. The situation couldn''t be more normal.


    He didn''t mean to evade, and he wasn''t a smashed wheat-grain classmate. He would be so bored that he would smoke marijuana and drink naked on the balcony. If they took a photo, they would treat it as free publicity for himself.


    Furthermore, I am now working hard at writing, and I look at it as a five-good young man, a standard American youth model.


    ...Fen writing and writing! Ryan opened his eyes and scanned the manuscript paper in front of him, only to write the beginning of "Screaming".


    Past lives have mixed praises and criticisms for this movie, but it has achieved great commercial success and opened a trend of campus youth horror films. Later, "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "Reaper is Coming" and so on. Affected by it.


    The 1980s was the most prosperous period of traditional American horror films. "Men Ghost Street" and "Friday the 13th" created a detached position of murderers in horror films. Freddy and Jason were in the same spotlight, just like Later, it was the same as the superhero in the Marvel movie.


    After entering the 1990s, penetrating American horror films began to decline. The plot and the ketchup method gradually made the audience lose interest, and the rise of "Sixth Sense" and "The Silent Lamb" made people I have seen another way out for horror films, but this kind of psychological thriller combined with ethical films requires extremely high scripts and directors.


    Although there have been many works following the trend in the past two years, the real numbers that can sell well are rare.


    The success of "Screaming Scream" in the previous life is definitely not accidental. It integrates the elements of American horror films, but relentlessly uses the mouth of the movie characters to ridicule, and at the same time abandons the single-line plot and sets the identity of the killer. Became the main suspense.


    On the other hand, since the planning of this movie, it is aimed at the youth market, so it adds a lot of youth elements, such as love scenes, costumes, mobile phones, voice changers, carnival parties and so on.


    There is also a guest appearance by popular youth idols, such as Drew Barrymore who died at the beginning of the first part, and Sarah Michel Gellar who died in the second part.


    In Ryan''s opinion, the most interesting thing about this movie is the ending. Many people criticize this ending and think that the murderer¡¯s reason for killing is too far-fetched. In fact, as ** Stu said, there is no reason for killing, just because it is fun. And killing, is there anything more creepy than this kind of reason?


    It is said that the most exciting scene in the first part is that Drew was killed. If she is replaced by the heroine, who should be called for her? It seems that this is a big problem.


    Maybe the little pepper from the previous life was good? It''s a pity that Gwyneth is not well-known right now, and she is not the queen of water in her previous life.


    There are a lot of headaches. Many lines in the movie are related to other movies, especially "Instinct". Because of the butterfly wings, this movie that was supposed to be released has not started up yet, so I can only change the lines. Up.


    Yes, there is also the Screaming Queen, she can keep it, it is said that James Cameron still chose her to play the heroine in "True Lies".


    stop! Stop it! Don¡¯t think about it, you¡¯re just a screenwriter, at best a gold medal screenwriter, these things are left to the future directors and producers of the film to worry about.


    The script should be completed as soon as possible. Since Drew Barrymore has been promised, it should be done. Believing in words is one of Ryan''s few standards of life. Besides, this guy is a man, apart from his unscrupulous private life and excessive sex. It''s ok.


    The morning passed quickly with the rustle of fountain pens. The maid brought lunch. Nicole was not at home. She and Judy Foster went to Melrose Avenue with Judy Foster to go shopping and increase purchases. After all, , Oscar is coming soon.


    At this time of the year, it is the season for actresses to rack their brains to buy fashions. For the Oscar red carpet show, many stars spend tens of thousands of dollars on clothing. If you add jewelry to them, That is an astronomical figure.


    Money is not only to be spent, but also to pay attention to the style of clothing. There is nothing more embarrassing than hitting a shirt on that occasion. If the two of them have a little holiday, it will be more exciting.


    After enjoying lunch, Ryan took the newspapers and looked through it. As long as there is a mention of him, whether it is praise or demeanor, he will be skipped directly.


    He has already passed the stage of satisfying his vanity with praise in the press.


    The gossip in the tabloid is nothing more than which actress disappeared again, who went to nightclubs, and then went back in the same car with XX for the Spring Festival evening, and whoever got involved with a third party, robbed which star¡¯s girlfriend or boyfriend.


    When he opened the "Hollywood Report", he became interested in the pictures inside.


    These are more than ten photos taken from the studio. The man in them is still so handsome, it is Tom Cruise.


    "A few days ago, the reporter found Tom Cruise while passing a location in New Jersey. He was starring in an action movie called "Raging Flames". The reporter interviewed him randomly. Mr. Russ claimed that this movie has an investment of up to 70 million U.S. dollars and is his first film in more than a year. Whether it is an action shot or a big production scene, it will not be inferior to "Terminator 2". The film fans are so addicted. The film is co-produced by his company and Sony Columbia. The film will be released in the summer of 1993..."


    Next summer? Ryan couldn''t help but raised his mouth. Although "Jurassic Park" has not yet determined a specific release date, the expected release time is next year''s summer file. Of course, only a few people know this news.


    and "Raging Flames"? which movie is this? Ryan is familiar with Hollywood movies since the 1990s. As long as he is a little famous, he has mostly seen it once, but he has never heard of the name.


    Is it a movie that didn''t exist in the previous life? He thinks it is very possible that under his own salary, Tom Cruise began to embark on a film road completely different from his previous life. As for he will be more successful than his previous life, or he will slowly lose out. This is not his future. Can intervene before adulthood.


    As he said, Hollywood¡¯s top priority is that as long as Tom Cruise¡¯s box office appeal is still there, even if his reputation is bad, there will still be producers who will look for him in movies.


    But, in the past few years, Tom Cruise would take advantage of the power of "Yihai Xiongfeng", but now this honor belongs to another handsome man.


    This movie was officially launched in major theaters in North America at the end of February. Except for the male protagonist, the movie almost maintained the original crew. More importantly, this movie is clearly the kind of role-achieving actor. You know, "Yihai" "Xiong Feng" is a standard American theme movie, and the role of a lawyer is full of positive energy.


    Yes, Brad Pitt¡¯s appeal is far from that of Tom Cruise, but Nicole Kidman made up for this to some extent, and the results after the movie¡¯s release did prove this. a little.


    The role played by Demi Moore, who was most criticized in the previous life, was changed to Nicole¡¯s hands. However, she received unanimous praise from film critics, who believed that she had completely demonstrated the acting skills in the "Sixth Sense", even better than the "Sixth Sense". The performance of "Seattle Sleepless" is even better. The only pity is that the appearance in the movie is a bit too beautiful.


    Female characters look beautiful in movies. In the eyes of most film critics, that is a sin.


    Needless to say, Jack Nicholson, the old drama bone, one of the four talented actors, the villain he played in it is the biggest highlight in the movieBrad Pitt is a handsome officer Dressing continues the upward trend since "The Doomsday Crazy Flower" and has become another popular idol''s niche trend.


    Since he has chosen this circle, no one does not want to be a big star in the front line. Brad Pitt instantly became the focus of the media. However, he can become one of Tianwangshan later. He is naturally a savvy figure and understands that all this is just the beginning. .


    He also called Ryan specifically, thanking him for recommending him to play this role, and also asked Nicole Kidman to send a small gift, not a precious thing, just a set of limited edition models of special forces That''s it.


    Today, "Yihai Xiongfeng" was released for a month, and the box office exceeded 90 million US dollars, which is infinitely close to the 100 million mark. Compared with the 30 million US dollars investment, a big sale is inevitable.


    Although the script of this movie was not written by Ryan, there has long been news in private that he insisted on buying this script and recommended Brad Pitt as the starring role.


    In fact, Ryan, the source of the news, can guess that it is either Jinsli¡¯s team or Harvey Weinstein. This is a good thing for both parties. The movie can continue to hype and promote the topic, and he can continue. Put a halo on your body.


    To be precise, Ryan now has a big name, and the position of the gold medal screenwriter is gradually going to jail. He has a faint trend of being the number one teen idol in the United States, but his career is still in its infancy, and the more solid foundation he has laid now. , The more benefits will be gained in the future.

 Chapter 109： Presenters

    Whenever enters a new year, for the entertainment industry, it means the arrival of a new awards season. The Oscars are not only the top priority, but also the end of the awards season.


    On March 30, the sixty-fourth Oscars ceremony officially kicked off. The venue was no longer the Sacred Citizens Auditorium, but the Los Angeles Concert Hall. This was destined to be an unusual awards ceremony. Guests attending People brought red ribbons to express their support for AIDS organizations.


    Because **** organizations were dissatisfied with the derogatory portrayals of homosexuality in "The Silent Lambs" and "Assassination of Kennedy," hundreds of people gathered on the outskirts of Chandler Hall and raised huge protest banners, rumored that they also planned. Enter the hall to disrupt.


    A large number of security guards and police are standing by. Stars and guests stepped onto the red carpet in a weird atmosphere of protest and cheers.


    After getting out of the RV, Ryan took Nicole''s hand and walked onto the red carpet together. He wore a well-fitting dark gown and a bow tie of the same color. Because he was in the stage of rapid development, the whole person looked extremely thin, no wonder Natalie often ridiculed him as''a bamboo pole''.


    Nicole Kidman is a bright silver one-shoulder tight-fitting evening dress with a ruby ??pendant provided by the sponsor on the neck. The high heels he is stepping on are four inches high, despite the long golden red hair that is coiled up. Her forehead looked a bit wide, but it was in line with the aesthetics of Westerners, and it looked magnificent and glamorous.


    This pair of black and white brothers and sisters have very attractive eyeballs. From the moment they walked on the red carpet, they murdered countless film reporters, drew a scream from fans, even the voice of the protester on the other side. Pressed down.


    The only pity is that Ryan''s height of five feet five inches is not enough to look at in front of Nicole Kidman. One can tell at a glance that the dominant player among them must be Australian girls.


    But at this awards ceremony, the most attractive is destined to be "The Silent Lamb." Ryan took Nicole not far, and heard the call of "Professor Hannibal" from behind him, using the corner of his eye. Yu Guang cast a quick glance, and the people behind were Anthony Hopkins and his wife, Professor Hannibal.


    "Nicole, let''s make a bet. The actor of this year''s Oscar must be Professor Hannibal!" Ryan said softly.


    "Bet? What''s the bet?" God only knew what he was making, and Nicole wouldn''t be fooled.


    "Hmm..." Before he finished speaking, a photojournalist shouted from the other side, "Nicole, and Ryan, look here."


    This is the photo zone. The stars usually cooperate with the camera crew. Ryan and Nicole put on a few poses to meet the reporter''s photo requirements. Before the next pair of guests arrived, they hurried into the hall a few steps.


    "Hi, Nicole, uh... and Ryan."


    "Hello, Judy." It was Judy Foster who came over.


    Ryan shook hands with Judy Foster, she was the number one favorite in the movie tonight.


    It¡¯s just that Judy Foster¡¯s dress today is really terrible, a pink-tone long skirt with a skirt, a red ribbon on the left chest, and a bit of old-fashioned makeup. She is not pretty. She stands with Nicole. , Was completely compared.


    However, she doesn''t care at all. This actress who has experienced a major blow is a famous talented woman, and she is also notoriously undressed.


    After Natalie became an adult, she actually brought some shadow of her.


    "Judy." Ryan walked over and said with a smile, "I think I can congratulate you in advance, Your Royal Highness the two Oscars!"


    "Come on, Ryan, the outcome is unpredictable until the last minute."


    While talking and laughing, the three people walked into the theater, beckoned, and walked towards their respective crews.


    Ryan and Nicole¡¯s seats are connected. For stars like them, who have an obvious relationship, the organizers usually arrange the seats together, and they are surrounded by the crew of "Seattle Sleepless". This movie won the most Two nominations for the best original screenplay and best original song, so that the crew got admission tickets.


    However, everyone understands that they are destined to accompany the whole race.


    The other two crews related to Ryan are "Bodyguard" and "Terminator 2". Both of these crews were nominated for technical awards. They were not far away from him. When they came, Ryan had already Say hello to people I know.


    I chatted a few words with the people around me. It didn''t take long for the music to be heard on the stage. The re-arranged soundtrack of "The Silent Lamb" immediately reminded everyone that the award ceremony was about to begin.


    The triangular crystal gates on the stage opened one after another. Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into enthusiastic applause and roar of laughter.


    This appearance ceremony is really special!


    Billy Christo''s version of Professor Hannibal, wearing a mask from "The Silent Lamb," was pushed onto the stage with a cart by two staff in white coats, imitating the footage from the movie.


    Ryan was next to the aisle, and on the other side was the real Professor Hannibal. Anthony Hopkins took off his glasses in a burst of laughter, and many people looked at him.


    Don''t say, Billy Christo is standing on the stage, looking around with sorrowful eyes. He really has the style of Professor Hannibal, but I don''t know if he can eat people.


    He doesn''t even need to tell jokes, as long as people stand on the stage, the audience below can''t stop laughing.


    This guy walked directly off the stage and came in front of Hopkins. He shook hands with the old British man, and finally said, "Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not going to eat people. It¡¯s perfect to have a few Oscar statuettes for dinner. Right?"


    "Billy, as long as you have a good appetite, you can eat whatever you want." Hopkins said with a smile.


    This ingenious appearance ceremony did have an unexpected effect. Then, naturally, it was a routine to open the time. Billy Christo targeted the veteran **** Warren Beatty.


    "Originally, I wanted to invite Warren Beatty to host with me, but I heard that he was getting married, wow... This is really good news for Hollywood. I think I should dance to celebrate it. ."


    Ryan clapped, and as everyone looked at, he easily found Warren Beatty. This guy didn''t mind at all. After all, his **** name is well known, but Billy Christo waved his hand. , In protest.


    Is this man who claims to have slept with a few Oscar queens really wants to get married? Ryan is very curious, what kind of woman can surrender him?


    Unexpectedly, Billy Christo really came to a song and dance. This guy connected the nominated movies this year. "The Silent Lamb", "Assassination of Kennedy", "Beauty and the Beast" and so on mocked them one by one. Worthy of being the best Oscar host in the 90s.


    The ratings of the Oscars hosted by this guy have always been very high. After him, whether it was the changing show of Ubi Gordonborg or the double yolk eggs of Anne Hathaway and others, they all have a lot to do with him. The gap, that is, Alan DeGeneres, who later took the interactive route, did a good job.


    After a brief speech by the Chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Carl Morden, the first award came. Unlike last year, the first award was given to Best Supporting Actor.


    When Ubi Goldenberg walked onto the stage, a staff member of the organizing committee walked over to Ryan and Nicole to remind them that they should go backstage to prepare.


    That¡¯s right, both Ryan and Nicole are guests of this Oscar. He is traditionally awarded Best Supporting Actress, while Nicole is introducing the best film nominated film "Bagshe".


    This movie received a total of ten nominations. No one knows better than Ryan, it is the big tea cup on the table.


    Following the staff walked into the backstage, Ryan came to the backstage of the Oscars for the first time. Many guests waiting to appear are busy touching up makeup. Whether it is a man or a woman, he will present his perfect side in In front of the camera.


    "Do you need makeup, Miss Kidman?" As soon as the two of them sat down, a makeup artist came over.


    "Thank you, I can do it myself."


    Ryan watched her smear her face, somewhat bored, turned her head and looked around.


    It can be said that this is a gathering place for handsome guys and beauties, especially among the dancers, many of whom are much more beautiful than the big stars.


    It''s a pity that in the entire backstage, he doesn''t know a few people...Well, he knows the person who just walked in, Facial Palsy King Sylvester Stallone Soon, it will be his turn. Nicole appeared on the stage, and she was not at ease with Ryan. Obviously, in her eyes, he had a tendency to change like a troublemaker.


    "Stay steadily here, this is Oscar, don''t mess around!" Before she left, she warned solemnly.


    Ryan rolled his eyes, and said to his heart, am I that kind of person?


    Although this is the backstage, it is the backstage of Oscar. Ryan does not have a mocking face, and the others are not brain-disabled people. Even if someone sees him and Nicole uncomfortably, they will not be stupid enough to find fault on this occasion.


    A few minutes later, Nicole Kidman returned to the backstage, seeing Ryan still sitting in the chair, and let out a clear breath.


    He was very depressed, and wanted to ask the last sentence, am I so unreliable?


    Okay, that is, when I was young, the principal asked you dozens of times. Those are all minor problems, aren''t they?


    "Ryan, it''s time for you to prepare." A staff member came to remind him.


    Nicole Kidman didn''t say anything this time. She knew very well that Ryan paid great attention to his own image in public and would never do self-defeating things.


    Holding the big envelope, Ryan walked to the back of the stage, waiting for the end of the performance on the stage.


    Next, it was his turn to step onto the stage and award the first figurine in his life.


    I don¡¯t know which lucky woman will take the Oscar statuette from me? Ryan muttered very contentedly as he stepped onto the stage.

 Chapter 110： stand up

    In the exciting music, Ryan walked through the two crystal triangle doors and onto the stage, coming to the microphone with a serious face.


    He deliberately stretched out his hand and gestured to the height of the microphone before saying, "Well... the height is just right. Fortunately, I have grown taller this year.


    "What?" Ryan tested his ears and listened to the laughter under the stage, "Yes, I have grown up, I have grown taller, and have become stronger. Tell you a secret. I can easily defeat an adult. "


    After finishing speaking, he bent his arms and made a popeye pose.


    The laughter under "Wow~" became louder, and they naturally understood the meaning of this sentence.


    The incident of Ryan who fell in Poland at the time did not cause too many disturbances, but it was also published by the American media, which naturally became another anecdote in Hollywood.


    He made a joke about himself, the show was complete, Ryan put on a serious attitude, "Next will be awarded the best supporting actress, let us see which beautiful ladies have won Nominate it."


    "Diane Rad, "The Rose of Passion", Juliet Lewis, "Cape Cry", Jessica Tandy, "Fried Green Tomatoes", Mercedes Ruiel "The End of the World", Kate ¡¤Nerrigan "The Twisted Waves of Time"


    "The one who won the best supporting actress..." Ryan opened the envelope, took out the card and glanced at it, "Congratulations! Mercedes Ruier "The End of the World is Falling into Two Hearts"!"


    After the woman with a surprised look came onto the stage, Ryan handed the little golden man over, and automatically flashed to the side, the task was considered complete.


    Backstage, called Nicole Kidman, the two went around in a circle and walked along the corridor towards the theater. When they left the backstage side door, several staff members took an elderly couple with them. Walked across the street.


    The two sides passed by, the old lady was elegant and like an angel. Ryan looked familiar, but couldn''t remember who was coming, so she had to walk back to the theater with Nicole.


    "Who is that?" Nicole obviously didn''t know him either, but seeing Ryan kept looking back, she was a little curious.


    "Very familiar, but I can''t remember who came." Ryan said, sitting back in his seat.


    awards were awarded one by one. "Terminator 2" dominated the technical awards, including the best make-up, best recording, best visual effects, and best sound editing.


    But that''s it, after all, science fiction films are one of the genres least seen by film academies.


    "The following one will be the biggest surprise tonight. She is an angel bestowed by God to the world. She is one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood history. She will be awarded this year''s Oscar honorary award below..."


    Jack Valentino is still talking, but few people in the audience are listening to him anymore. Everyone knows who will appear next, which is really a surprise.


    "Audrey Hepburn, please!"


    Hearing this name, Ryan immediately remembered. Wasn''t it the old angel that he and Nicole had just met?


    When the elegant old lady slowly walked onto the stage, the first **** tonight appeared.


    All the people in the audience stood up together, and the applause seemed to lift the roof down. The organizing committee did give everyone a surprise. Who would have thought beforehand that she would come to the awards scene while recuperating in Switzerland.


    This is the first time that everyone has stood up tonight, dedicated to an angel who fell into the world.


    Ryan also clapped vigorously. Frankly speaking, he was very envious. If he had such a glorious moment in a few decades, he would not be in vain.


    Isn''t he doing this now? Only when you have a good foundation can you climb to the top, right?


    "Is this a great actor? Maybe I will have such a day..."


    The applause subsided, and he sat back on his seat, Nicole''s mumbling fell into Ryan''s ears.


    He sighed softly. The overall atmosphere in Hollywood is nostalgic. Even if Nicole has won the actress twice in a row, in 20 to 30 years, or even longer, people''s evaluation of her is absolutely impossible to exceed Austrian. Delly Hepburn.


    Maybe when this generation disappears and the next generation begins to nostalgia again, they will find that many great actors were born in the 1990s.


    There is no doubt that the winner of this year¡¯s Oscar Honor Award is an out-and-out tragedy. No one cares about who the winner is and why he won.


    When Audrey Hepburn retired from the stage, there was enthusiastic applause again in the theater, and then, the second collective standing up appeared, everyone used this way to bid farewell to the famous actress of the golden age of Hollywood.


    Looking at the disappearing back, I am afraid that only he knows about this world. Although the other person looks healthy, the angel will return to heaven next year, maybe that is her original home.


    After Billy Christo has another **** joke, the best original screenplay and best adapted screenplay will be awarded.


    Although Ryan was shortlisted for the best original screenplay for the second time, "Night Sleep in Seattle" is obviously a soy sauce product. Perhaps in the film, college will bow to business, but in screenwriting, Ryan generally remembers that Oscar seems to have never There is no overly bowing to a fully commercialized work.


    Even the previous "Titanic" was only nominated for Best Original Screenplay.


    "The winner of the best original screenplay is...Kelly Curry "The End of the Flower"."


    Sure enough, this award went to his family, but it was all expected by everyone, and the people around him only gave Ryan a few words of comfort.


    As for the best adapted screenplay, it was naturally included in "The Silent Lamb".


    "My dear, don''t be sad, the best song will be released soon." Nicole smiled and comforted.


    "Am I sad?" he muttered.


    The ¡¡¡¡ awards ceremony has now entered the final stage. Except for the best song, the remaining four awards are the most important.


    As for whether he can win a Golden Man again, Ryan doesn¡¯t have any confidence. Unlike last year¡¯s active PR of Pie Kingsley and Harvey Weinstein, he didn¡¯t do much this year. I don¡¯t know what the Warner Brothers will do. How much effort did "Bodyguard" put in.


    Moreover, the competitors are very strong. Disney¡¯s "Beauty and the Beast", their cartoons have always been singing and dancing, and they are a strong contender for the best soundtrack and the best song.


    Of course, it¡¯s not entirely hopeless. Few film companies put PR resources on this kind of awards. Moreover, on the quality of songs alone, "IWillAlwaysLoveYou" can kill "BeautyAndTheBeast", and now Whitney Houston is also in the singing. Better than Celine Dion.


    Oscars are different from Grammys. Song awards are not awarded to singers, but to songwriters.


    can win the best, it doesn''t matter if you can''t win, anyway, this award won''t get away sooner or later.


    Just when Ryan was thinking about it, Nicole gave him a light push.


    "what''s happenin?"


    He just came back to his senses, still a little confused, Nicole glared at him fiercely, she could be distracted in this situation, she really didn''t know what to say.


    "The winner of the best original song is..." On the stage, Shirley McLean opened the envelope and read the name, "Ryan Jenkins "I Will Love You Forever"!"


    That¡¯s how the second figurine got it? Ryan was a little surprised, what was the film school thinking?


    The cameraman keenly captured his surprised expression. Others would think he was in a surprise. Only Nicole knew what he was thinking.


    "Ryan, hurry up on stage." She reminded in a low voice.


    "Wow~"


    In any case, the feeling of winning is better than going home empty-handed. He first gave Nicole Kidman a hug, and then high-five with the people around him. After leaving his seat, he went to the place where the crew of "Bodyguard" was. , Hug with Whitney Houston, Kevin Costner and others one by one.


    This is after all a victory for the entire crew of "Bodyguard"!


    When passing by the "Terminator 2" crew, inevitably, they slapped Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron.


    "Thank you~"


    stepped onto the stage, took the statuette, Ryan thanked Shirley McLean, and walked straight to the microphone, "Thank you!"


    "Well, thank the college for giving me this little golden man... Well, I can compose songs. Everyone knows that I thought the first thing I could get in music was a phonograph, but I didn''t expect it to be a little golden man. Thank you also. Miss Teny Houston Without your wonderful performance, there would be no such outstanding love song. Thank you Mr. Gerald, thank you everyone who witnessed the birth of this song."


    "Stop the music." Ryan looked in the direction of the band weirdly. "Last sentence, thank you Miss Nicole Kidman, that''s it."


    Ryan walked back to his seat, and the people around him congratulated him again. Nicole sighed slightly. Unknowingly, Ryan had won the two figurines. How about yourself?


    Next, everyone witnessed the birth of a miracle, and a movie won the last four awards.


    "The winner of the best actress is...Judy Foster!"


    "Professor Hannibal, congratulations to Anthony Hopkins."


    "Wow, this is incredible. The winner of the best director is Jonathan Demi, "The Silent Lamb"!"


    "I have to say this is a miracle, this night belongs to "The Silent Lamb", it is the best film!"


    Although they won the Oscar for Best Picture in a row, and "The Silent Lambs" won four more awards, the producer of Orion, who came to the stage to receive the award, couldn''t laugh.


    The Orion Film Company just went bankrupt some time ago. The overly artistic production style has won a series of Oscars, but it has lost business in a mess, even though "The Silent Lamb" has collected more than 130 million in North America. Ten thousand dollars at the box office still cannot save them.


    Note: "I will always love you" is not original in reality. As I said before, the article has been revised... Please recommend~ Please collect~

 Chapter 111： Party

    After the awards ceremony, Judy Foster took Nicole and Ryan straight to the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. Where will Vanity Fair hold a celebration party. Tonight¡¯s big winner, The Silent Lambs "The crew of "is naturally the object of their efforts to invite.


    This party is different from Oscars. There are not only people in the movie circle, but also many people in the pop music and model circles, and even some sports stars.


    The news was released a long time ago, and many reporters gathered at the door of the hotel. The little stars were also happy to pose and use this opportunity to promote themselves.


    "I haven''t officially congratulated you yet, Judy...ah, it should be the best actress." After entering the banquet hall, Ryan joked with her.


    He didn''t know what was going on. Judy Foster and Nicole Kidman, people who had nothing to do with their previous lives, turned out to be good best friends.


    "Then should I congratulate you too, the best..." Ryan interrupted her before Judy Foster finished her sentence, "Well, Judy, you''re welcome between us."


    Speaking of it, this world is really interesting. March 30 will definitely be a day that Judy Foster will never forget. Her darkest memory and most glorious moment all happened on this day.


    I hope I won¡¯t have fans like John Hinckley in the future, otherwise I will definitely be overwhelmed.


    "Hi, Judy, and Nicole, is this handsome guy Ryan?"


    A blond woman about forty years old came over from the crowd. "Judy, congratulations on your second best actress. If you can, how about an interview with us?"


    "Of course it''s okay, Tina." Judy Foster said jokingly.


    Tina? Hearing this name, he looked at the woman''s appearance without a trace, and then recalled the memories of her previous life. Ryan remembered who she was-Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair.


    "Vanity Fair" can be said to have a long history. It was first published in 1913 and is one of the most influential magazines in the United States. Unlike Time Magazine, it mainly reports on Hollywood stars, and its content is mostly celebrities. Private life, strictly speaking, this is a gossip magazine. Of course, some novels and essays will be published on it.


    This magazine once came to the brink of suspension. It was after Tina Brown took over as editor-in-chief that brought it back to life and became one of the most important magazines in the entertainment industry.


    Ryan has dealt with them. During the Oscar public relations last year, he contributed a lot of advertising expenses for them, which added up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.


    The reason why he recognizes her is not how many gossip magazines he has read in his previous life, but that this woman is the most active person to make money for Diana. After the death of the Princess of Wales in a car accident, she and her husband compiled several books about Diana. The books reveal many so-called inside stories that are true and false.


    Strictly speaking, Tina Brown was inseparable from Diana since she started. It was precisely relying on the crazy hype about Diana''s news that the magazines she worked in successively got rid of the predicament quickly.


    This is a woman who is extremely good at hype! Ryan''s conclusion.


    "Ryan, have you considered opening a column on Vanity Fair? Or publishing a few novels?"


    The success of this magazine has a lot to do with the operation of Tina Brown. She is like Steve Jobs, who will use every opportunity to promote the influence of this brand.


    Now, she is targeting the hottest teenage writers and child stars.


    "Forget it, Tina, I have a contract with the "Alien" magazine." Ryan casually found a reason, and politely declined.


    "That''s really a shame." With her words, Tina Brown''s face really showed a look of regret, "It''s always okay to accept an interview with us, talk about your creative experience, or talk with Drew ¡¤ The entanglement between Miss Barrymore."


    Of course, she was just making innocent jokes.


    Naturally, Ryan would not take it seriously. If these people who work as entertainment magazines can take it seriously, then sows can fly to the sky. However, "Vanity Fair" does have an extraordinary influence in the United States, especially the celebrities. In the meantime, whether it is himself or Nicole, it is indispensable to use them in future public relations promotion, and it does no harm to build a good relationship with such a large media.


    Besides, he agrees very much with this woman''s motto-worse than being talked about, no one talks about it!


    "Ryan, and Nicole, you guys continue to enjoy the party, I''ll go..."


    "Ms. Brown, when it comes to parties, haven''t you thought about it?" Anyway, these guys will do it for a year or two at most, and they will sell their personal affection first. "You haven''t considered using the name of Vanity Fair. Is there a party after the annual Oscars ceremony? With the appeal of "Vanity Fair", it should be possible to invite many celebrities to participate... Well, just like today, set up a red carpet for participants to show themselves to their fullest. Media other than "Vanity Fair"..."


    Speaking of this, the opposite Tina Brown has already shown a thoughtful air, Ryan smiled and continued, "You can make this party a brand, I believe it is not difficult to do, is it! And it is not just an Oscar. , And after the White House press conference, you can also hold such a party..."


    Tina Brown¡¯s eyes are getting brighter and brighter. As a senior practitioner, she can naturally see the great benefits of this. In an instant, the smile on her face became more sincere. "Ryan, this idea is great. Up!"


    "Really?" Ryan showed a very confident smile, "I hope it helps you a little bit."


    "Thank you, Ryan, if you need help, just say hello, I wish you all a good time, I will leave first."


    The woman was decisive, and after greeted the other person, she went straight out of the banquet hall.


    Judy Foster also left. As the best female protagonist, there will be no shortage of entertainment. Ryan and Nicole greeted people they knew all the way and walked to a place where there are fewer people in the banquet hall.


    "Ryan, what the **** are you making?" Nicole asked.


    "It''s nothing, it''s just a favor to sell "Vanity Fair." He doesn''t care. This kind of ready-made favor is not sold for nothing.


    Nicole shook her head, did not say anything, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. It was obvious that she was his guardian, so why did he always feel that he was taking care of himself and his career.


    This kind of party is no different from other celebrity parties except that it is larger in scale. People who know or don¡¯t know get together, get close to each other, talk about topics of mutual interest, and people who think they have the means to use beautiful women. Numerous opportunities** and so on.


    Not to mention others, it was Nicole Kidman alone. Not long after standing here, there came four or five men who came up with each other, but these people who thought they were suave, all came back against the wall.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    This time it was an acquaintance who came over. Ryan looked at the big fat man who was swelling like a career, "Harvey, you should lose weight."


    "Really? But I am very popular with girls." Harvey Weinstein winked his eyes, a standard old man.


    "I believe this, as long as you have enough characters in your hands." Ryan is not so polite when he is an old acquaintance with this guy.


    "As long as you want, it''s easy." The big fat man showed a smile on his face, and all men knew how to smile. "I don''t know how many women there are. I want you to create a suitable character for them."


    "Come on, Harvey." Ryan shivered, just like this small body? just forget it. "Won''t you come to me again for script cooperation? "Yihai Xiongfeng" is still in theaters, and I have given you "Killer Leon" again, which is very interesting."


    "We are a win-win situation! Pat has asked you a large share."


    Speaking of it, he also thinks this little guy is very interesting, he helped the other side, and he also gave Miramax a lot of money in return.


    "Sixth Sense" and "Sleepless in Seattle" are not only selling at the box office, they are also booming in the video tape market. Although the other party''s asking prices are getting higher and higher, this is the basic rule of Hollywood. People who can bring benefits are in this circle. , Will naturally get the corresponding return.


    Nicole Kidman stood aside, listening to the outrageous conversation between these two men, her face turned dark. She naturally knew what the majority of women in this circle looked like, but Ryan was still under adulthood, Harvey Wayne. Isn''t Stan instigating him to make a mistake?


    Okay, California is open. It¡¯s not uncommon for young men and women to have **** at the age of twelve or thirteen. It¡¯s just... just why I heard Ryan talk about women I feel so upset in my heart, like it is. Treasures that belong to you alone are to be robbed by others.


    Damn, you wretched fat man! Shouldn''t he educate Ryan well and stop him from cooperating with Miramax?


    A helpless smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Although she has cleaned herself up since she met Ryan and has not participated in the messy things, she doesn¡¯t understand why, as long as he is still in this circle, as long as his works continue to sell well, it won¡¯t take much. Years...No, it should be from now on, Ryan will definitely be subjected to various affair.


    Perhaps it was Harvey Weinstein who came over. This inconspicuous corner attracted the attention of many people, and it didn''t take long for Carter Eisner to also come over.


    "Ryan, Harvey, thank you for recommending me to star in "Yihai Xiongfeng"."


    Brad Pitt, who has just become a popular niche, walked over to thank you with a beautiful lady.


    "You are welcome, Brad, your performance in the movie, you deserve their praise!"


    Ryan also watched "Yihai Xiongfeng". Brad Pitt is a bit worse than Tom Cruise in his previous life, but the melody of the whole movie makes up for his acting flaws, plus handsome sunshine. The appearance of it is a matter of course.


    "I think we can continue to work together in the future." Ryan remembered the "Sugar Coated Trap" that bought the film adaptation rights.


    "Of course, as long as you need it!" Brad Pitt smiled brighter and sighed in his heart that he was worthy of the trip.


    ...Recommendation...for collection...

 Chapter 112： dispute

    <>


    "A few days ago, Qingluan told them that we are coming. We will wait for us to discuss this matter with several elders before we can make a decision. If you meet Wu Fan in the academy before this, you must never mention it, understand? "Ji Jie turned around and looked at the three subordinates around him and said in a commanding tone. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)


    "Yes!" the three replied in unison.


    "But what do we say if he asks? After all, there are already a lot of rumors outside. Although he is in the academy, it is impossible for him to have no idea what is happening outside! Besides, we just swayed like this. Do you not go to the Three Treasures Hall without incident?" One of Ji Jie''s subordinates said embarrassedly. If the four of them entered the academy in this way, even if they didn''t meet Wu Fan, the news should be heard in Wu Fan''s ears soon.


    "I know what you think, but the matter is important at this time, and it has something to do with him. It''s better to be careful!" Ji Jie frowned slightly and replied softly.


    As the four people were talking, Ye suddenly walked hundreds of meters in the sky and came to the front of the four people almost instantly. First, he looked down at the four people condescendingly, and then slowly fell under the horrified gaze of everyone. Come down.


    "Earth-level powerhouse?" The four of them were all surprised to see that Ye could walk through the air. Seeing that Ye, who was so close at hand, looked like a heavenly person, appeared in front of them with a graceful posture, they all became a bit stuttering. .


    "Are you the people Shen Yun sent to ask for help?" Ye''s voice calmly looked at the panic-faced four people in front of him without any emotion.


    "It''s you that you are Ye?" Ji Jie nodded, looking at this mask and the somewhat hoarse voice, which looked so much like Ye that he had seen during the Imperial League battle in Siyang City. He also knew Ye and Ye Wu Fan and the others entered the academy together, but this was only a short year before seeing the latter, and he considered himself to be a ground-level powerhouse, and he was a little bit at a loss at the moment.


    "Yeah! The elder ordered us to come out to meet you. The elders said that you should not let Wu Fan know about this beforehand, so you can''t go back to the college. I will take you to another place to contact the elders!" Ye Wei nodded and looked. He also had a little impression of Ji Jie when he came, but his tone was still indifferent and ruthless.


    Ji Jie is also a veteran, naturally knowing that Ye has no memory of himself, and now he also smiled and nodded.


    "Then I will trouble you, this matter is indeed very important. The elders are also interested, but who is the previous knight chasing after?" Ji Jie said slightly confused.


    Ye did not answer him, but looked at the desert behind the four people, and followed her gaze for a moment. Huang Sha slowly appeared a figure of a person, and saw him walking towards a few people with a relaxed smile. The clean clothes were spotless, where he was covered with yellow sand like Ji Jie and he was washed in the stream for a long time. How much clean.


    "These four guys can really run, but fortunately it didn''t take too long. The four are Shen Yun''s visitors? Has Ye already told you?" The white man came to the five and nodded towards Ji Jie. With a free and easy smile.


    "Miss Ye has already told us, we should leave without further ado!" Ji Jie smiled and said to the two of them.


    "Well, I''ve also heard about it. Now the situation is a bit urgent. Let''s slow down and you have to keep up!" The man nodded, and after a glance at the night around him, the two of them rushed into the woods first. go with. The four of Ji Jie were also close behind, but the strength of the two of them was not at the same level as them. Although the white-clothed man was intentionally slowed down by Ye He, it still made the four of them difficult to follow.


    "My lord, Ye turned out to be a strong ground-level, is it possible that the leader Wu is already a ground-level?" The four tried their best to follow behind them, and one of Ji Jie''s subordinates looked at the white shadow in front of them with excitement. Said. In their eyes, the Tiandi Academy has long been a sacred place. They did not expect that a profound stage could grow into a strong ground-level in just one year. Thinking of these people, they were all fascinated if they could go in and practice someday. How great!


    "I don''t know, don''t follow along!" Ji Jie replied coldly after a moment of silence. Hey, I don¡¯t know if your growth is good or bad for us!


    Under the leadership of the two, the four of Ji Jie also traveled in the direction of Tiandi Academy in the forest for more than half an hour and finally came to a small wooden house located in the middle of the mountains under Qixia Peak, surrounded by white snow. Ai Ai, everything you see is white. Walking on the snow-covered road also made a chuckle.


    "Four in, the elders are already waiting for you inside!" The white-clothed man next to Ye sat in the wooden house with a please gesture and looked at the four with a smile.


    The four of Ji Jie knocked on the door and entered the night. The white-clothed man stood outside the house and was responsible for the guard. The wooden house was equipped with a few wooden stools and a slab. The surrounding walls were hung with some animal skins, which looked like hunters going up the mountain. Set up a place for shelter from wind and rain when hunting. Pushing the door and entering Ji Jie, he saw three gray-haired old men and a beautiful woman looking at him with a smile.


    "I have seen a few elders!" Ji Jie looked at the few people in front of him and respectfully brought the three subordinates in greeting.


    "Why Commander Ji cares about these tedious etiquette, please sit down!" Lu Fengrou smiled at the three old people around him and said softly.


    "Close to the subject, we already know about Shen Yun. The Great Elder has also agreed that the academy will come forward to quell the rebellion in Shen Yun''s inner sect, but we are only responsible for dealing with those evil sect forces. As for the others, we will There is nothing you can do! After all, this is your own internal affairs and state affairs!" After everyone had done it in turn, Elder Chen said calmly while looking at Ji Jie, who seemed a little restless beside him.


    "The rebels are easy to deal with. The difficulty lies in the fact that those sect forces are also caught in it. If the academy is willing to come forward to quell their unrest, it would be great. Shen Yun has encountered this kind of crisis for the first time in recent decades. Not only did the rebels from all over the country emerge, but also the numerous sect forces caught in it, and even our own guardians turned to each other! Now the front line is tight, more than a dozen cities have been captured by the rebels before I set out, and I hope the college can Go as soon as possible to help me wait for the chaos!" Ji Jie stood up and looked at the four people in front of him with a complicated expression and bowed.


    "Commander Ji does not need to be like this. We have already promised that we will send elite disciples to help you quell this catastrophe as soon as possible! In fact, after the news of Qingluan you let off a few days ago was known to us, we have already begun preparations. The matter is over, the disciples who are going to Shen Yun are also ready to go back with you at any time!" Lu Fengrou stepped forward and gently lifted Ji Jie and said softly.


    "That''s great!" Hearing what Lu Fengrou said, Ji Jie also stood up straight and said with excitement.


    "The news from Qingluan you sent before is really limited, and there are still many things that need to be learned from you. Your letter said that you should not tell Wu Fan for now, but you don''t know why? Could this matter have something to do with him? ?" An elder stood up and asked with some confusion. It stands to reason that Wu Fan was sent by Shen Yun to the hospital. It is difficult for Shen Yun to go back to help but he does not know why he deliberately concealed it from him?


    "This is exactly what I want to discuss with the elders, but this rebellion has a lot to do with Wu Fan! If he is really held accountable, he, the leader of the guardian of the country, will be to blame!" Ji Jie replied with a gloomy expression.


    "What do you say? Could it be that the rebellion guardian you mentioned earlier has something to do with Wu Fan?" Lu Fengrou frowned slightly.


    "Well, when the rebels started rebelling, we didn''t care too much. After all, this kind of thing happened every year. We sent a large army to counter the rebellion but found that there were quite a few cultivators among the rebels, waiting for us. When the guardians were summoned to fight, we found that these guardians had turned against us and caused several disastrous defeats. Not only that, the instigators of the rebellion were investigated by Wu Fan¡¯s old acquaintances, and the leaders were all former guardians. As the guardians of the country. Wu Fan, the leader of Shen Yun''s guardian of the country, do you think you can''t blame it? This group of rebels is really hateful!" Ji Jie replied sharply with clenched fists.


    "Why are those sect forces also mixed in?" Elder Chen frowned slightly. It stands to reason that the sect forces on the mainland, no matter how big or small they are, will not participate in political and state struggles! If you have time to compete for territory, it would be better to devote yourself to practice and strive for an early breakthrough in Yuhua and Dengxian. This sentence expresses the aspirations of all practice sects. They all hold that the enemy will not offend me, and the mentality that I don¡¯t offend people is worse than doing less. It exists in all parts of the mainland. If there is no reasonable reason, they will definitely not participate in these so-called secular battles. The invasion of the Rakshas on the eastern border of Shen Yun and Tianyang''s eye-catching army''s pressure at the time are a good illustration. UU reading www.uukanshu. com


    "Hey, this is where we are puzzled! I don''t know what benefits this group of rebels promised them. They have repeatedly assisted the rebels in attacking the city. Now Shen Yun has reached a precarious point!"


    "You didn''t ask for help from the other three empires?" Lu Fengrou asked with some doubts.


    "Begging for their help is equivalent to bringing wolves into the room! Now Tianyang has made it clear that they are willing to send troops to quell the chaos, and they have assembled a large number of troops ready to invade Shen Yun, me." Ji Jie exhaled heavily and replied with indignation.


    "Haha, I don''t understand your struggle! But Commander Ji hasn''t seen you for more than a year, but it hasn''t changed much!" Lu Fengrou smiled and waved his hand.


    "Elder Lu joked!" Ji Jie replied blankly.


    "That''s why you didn''t let us tell Wu Fan? Are you afraid that he will turn to each other?" An elder who had been sitting silent before suddenly stood up, looking sharply at Ji Jie in front of him. Said. "Exactly, because the group of villains headed by them all know him, just in case he~" Ji Jie nodded and replied with some doubts.

 Chapter 113： Audition in New York

    After entering April, the "Bodyguard", which signed a long-term screening contract, was completely offline in North America. This movie that has attracted the attention of countless people since the script was born, has not disappointed Ryan and Tom Cruise. That turmoil won more than 178 million U.S. dollars in the box office, stabilizing the head of "Beauty and the Beast" and occupying the second place in the 1991 box office rankings.


    As for the first place, naturally "Terminator 2", in addition, "Seattle Sleepless" also ranked fifth with a box office record of more than 135 million US dollars.


    So the situation reappeared in 1990, and the top two in the North American box office rankings were all works related to Ryan.


    In addition, in the past two years, "Sixth Sense" and "Home Alone" have basically been released in overseas markets where Hollywood movies can enter. The former has won a global box office of nearly 630 million US dollars, and the latter has a global box office. The figure exceeds 500 million U.S. dollars.


    Why? Why is this? Many professionals in the film industry want to analyze the reasons, and the major film companies also want to find some rules from them, so that their films can also sell well.


    Ryan certainly wouldn''t tell them why.


    After entering late April, some controversies in the media gradually subsided. Lace gossip has once again become the mainstream of the entertainment circle, especially the bad boy Johnny Depp. When dating Winona Raide, the woman was treated by paparazzi. The harassment, Depp''s guard was eager, picked up a folding stool, smashed the paparazzi to the ground, and lost his eyeballs.


    Everyone¡¯s attention immediately shifted to the golden boy and the girl, and then the media broke the news that the infatuated Johnny Depp tattooed on his right arm ¡°Always Love Wei¡± in order to express his love for Winona Raide. Noona''s tattoos make people have to marvel at the innocent and infatuated side of the rebellious boy, which has attracted many female fans to sigh.


    Even though Depp is all ill now, there is no shortage of alcohol and drugs, but he is a man of true temperament, but unfortunately...


    Sitting on the plane, Ryan is studying the gossip in the newspaper. No one knows better than him. It won¡¯t take too long for Winona Raide to kick Depp and start dealing with the handsome guy in Hollywood. Among them, Johnny Depp was no longer a believer in love, and began to transform into a prodigal son.


    Hollywood is full of pornography, not only playboys, but also many princesses. Winona Raide later became a female pornography, hunting men everywhere, just like the actress on the other side of the Pacific who likes to collect stamps.


    Ryan vaguely remembers that Keanu Reeves, Heath Ledger, Matt Damon and other male stars have successively become her guests on the scene. As for the others who can''t remember their names, there are countless others.


    Forget it, these are none of your own business, just look at it as gossip. Depp is still a literary and artistic youth now, and he will have to wait until after the new century to become Tianwangshan.


    However, stars like Depp are the most popular people among paparazzi and entertainment magazines. They never lack news around them. Even if there is no news, they will make some news when the paparazzi deliberately provoke them.


    After being in this circle for two years, Ryan knew very well that Johnny Depp would never hit someone with a stool if it weren¡¯t for the paparazzi infringing Winona Ryder. In some ways, those guys do It''s time to fight... Well, if they provoke Sean Penn, it would be even more wonderful. This one dared to shoot directly at the reporter at his wedding with Madonna.


    I am a minor now. Those guys are not too presumptuous due to children''s laws. As long as his sixteenth birthday is over, Depp''s experience will probably fall on him.


    At the reminder of the flight attendant, Ryan put down the newspaper, fastened his seat belt, and the Boeing airliner slowly landed at JFK Airport.


    After returning to school for more than half a month, he once again asked for leave and came to New York. Luc Besson¡¯s team rented a studio in New York and is holding a massive audition event for Matilda.


    The French Big Fatty is not only a director and producer, but also a businessman. After he came to New York, the crew was not low-key at all. Not only did they play the banner of Ryan Jenkins¡¯s latest masterpiece early, and the news that "Killer Leon" was about to start filming. Everyone who preached it was well known, and he also made a lot of noise about Matilda''s casting activities, and made full use of Ryan''s reputation and the increasingly bright gold-letter signs to create a number of topics that made the media hype.


    Although I don¡¯t know the specific plot of the movie, Ryan¡¯s works have become popular among many stars. Let¡¯s look at Macaulay Culkin, who replaced him in "Home Alone 2". After the movie was released last year, He immediately became one of Hollywood''s most popular child stars.


    Even though the crew clearly stipulated that candidates for the audition must be girls who grew up in New York or surrounding satellite cities, there were still more than two thousand people who participated in the first round of auditions.


    It can be seen that there is no shortage of people who dream of becoming famous and entering Hollywood.


    Different from being brushed off in the first round of the previous life, Natalie easily entered the second round.


    Since the release of "The Sixth Sense", there has been a goal to surpass ahead. This proud and strong girl has been holding a lot of energy in her heart. She has to work harder than the one in her previous life. Similarly, she has greater ambitions. .


    Although Luc Besson used the aggressive method and used Natalie as the breakthrough point, and thus had this large-scale audition, Ryan will not cheapen the French in vain. The production manager is Jules. Stewart is the head of Jenkins Pictures.


    This is Hollywood, not France. If you want to enter this circle, you must follow the rules of the game in this circle.


    Ryan is not worried at all, even if Luc Besson vetoed Natalie, Julius could also veto his candidate.


    Of course, this is only the last choice, it is no good for anyone to tear their face.


    The studio is located in Brooklyn. When Ryan and Jinsli walked in, the chairs outside the audition room were already full of people. More than a dozen girls, accompanied by parents or agents, were waiting anxiously. Here.


    Just like telepathy, Ryan found Natalie at a glance. She sat next to her mother and saw him as well.


    Natalie made no expression on the surface, she winked at him quietly, Ryan returned a clear look, gave up the past plan, lowered the brim of the hat, hurried a few steps, and walked into the audition room.


    "Hello, Mr. Besson." After the staff closed the door, Ryan greeted the fat French man standing behind the camera, said a few more words with Jules, and sat aside.


    Professional things will naturally be done by professional people. He just needs to look at it. Anyway, there is only one Matilda in his mind.


    After a few people in a row, a blond little girl walked in, with a delicate appearance and a calm demeanor.


    "My name is Kirsten Dunst. I was born in 1982. I played roles in "New York Story" and "Witch''s Delivery Service"..."


    Unlike the previous ones, the girl is not nervous at all sitting on the chair. From her self-introduction, you can also tell that she should be a girl with rich acting experience.


    However, even without Natalie, her chances of getting this role are infinitely close to zero. The reason is simple. Mary Jane in her previous life was too young. Luc Besson would never choose unless she fainted. she was.


    Even though she tried to show her precocity through her eyes and expressions.


    Then, with the cooperation of the staff, Kirsten performed a plot of Matilda. The other Ryan may not be able to see it, but her acting skills can distinguish one from the other. She is indeed better than the previous ones.


    "That''s it for now, Miss Dunst, we will notify your agent as soon as possible of the audition results." Luc Besson raised his head from behind the camera.


    "Thank you Director Besson and Ms. Jules!" She put down the temporary props, bowed, her eyes flashed suddenly, "I...may I ask Ryan to sign?"


    said, she looked over to where Ryan was sitting.


    "Ok."


    Ryan frowned slightly. No one who was able to get rid of the child star curse in the previous life was a fool. He used this unmarked method to establish a relationship with himself. Unfortunately, he would not express his opinion if he was not a last resort. of.


    Close the small memo pad and Ryan handed it back. Kirsten smiled brightly, looking cute and sweet, "Thank you, Ryan, you are my idol!"


    "you are welcome."


    This girl is really extraordinary. If she hadn''t seen Natalie''s precociousness and intelligence, Ryan would even have to wonder if the other person''s young body also hides the soul of an adult.


    To be honest, this kind of work is very boring and boring. If it weren''t because of friends, he would not have the interest to continue watching However, such a huge audition, there are always some unexpected discoveries, such as coming in now This one.


    This girl has beautiful black hair, fair skin and is comparable to Nicole Kidman, and she is close to five feet seven inches tall. She looks like a professional model, and she is very eye-catching.


    However, her too long face spoiled this beauty. Although Ryan saw her from the camera very photogenic, in reality...


    Perhaps another description is more appropriate. The girl''s lens and reality are completely two kinds of people. In the lens, you can faintly see the grace of the elf princess, but in reality, she has an overly long face.


    "My name is Liv Tyler, I am a model and I have appeared in several MVs..."


    Because of Natalie, Ryan has seen a lot of behind-the-scenes footage of "Killer Leon" in her previous life, knowing that Luc Besson¡¯s first candidate was Liv Tyler, and later because of Natalie¡¯s self-recommendation, she renamed her again. The name is added.


    Sure enough, after Liv Taylor left, Luc Besson''s eyes showed satisfaction, "This girl is very good, I think she is very suitable."


    ...... I saw a lot of comments from friends today, thank you for your continued support, thank you very much! A few words about business, as explained in the previous article, the money earned by the protagonist is handed over to investors for investment. This book occasionally has commercial actions, which will only be briefly introduced. Everything is for the movie service. The protagonist Only in the entertainment industry... and also about past lives. Except for the entertainment industry, there will be no entanglements with those in the past lives. The past has gone with the wind...

 Chapter 114： Natalies war

    Sitting quietly next to her mother, about to participate in the first film audition in her life, Natalie is not very happy. After returning to New York from Poland, she is preparing for this day. In any case, she will win The role of Matilda is not only for herself, but also for her promise to her friends.


    Despite the limited number of meetings in the past two years, the communication and phone calls between her and Ryan have never been interrupted, whether it was his outings or she went to a drama camp.


    Therefore, Natalie thinks she knows him very well. If she is really rejected, Ryan will definitely tear her face with the French.


    So, she must go all out.


    However, after reading the script a while ago, my father strongly opposed her to play this role. For this reason, there was a small dispute between the two, and even my father vaguely expressed his dissatisfaction with Ryan. This is also true. The reason she is not happy.


    If it weren''t for my mother''s persuasion, I would probably lose this opportunity.


    Why must we maintain a strict vegetarian diet? Why do you oppose me becoming an actor? Why do you think Ryan...


    Natalie couldn''t help but feel a touch of dissatisfaction with her conservative father. If Ryan knew about her situation, she would only have one idea that the girl had entered a rebellious period.


    Looking at the girls coming in and going out, one by one was frustrated or full of spirits, Natalie gradually stabilized her mind. Speaking of which, she has an advantage that no one else has.


    Those girls only got a few fragments of the script. Only she has read the full version of the script, more than once, and exchanged many opinions with Ryan about the role of Matilda.


    If you still let this character slip out of your hands, it would be better to die as an actor.


    An unusually tall black-haired girl, accompanied by her agent, walked into the audition room. Natalie couldn''t help looking around, only to find that she and her mother were the only ones left outside the audition room.


    She is the last one! Obviously, the French director has an opinion on himself!


    This is better. I can get this role by virtue of my strength and my acting skills! Natalie''s eyes are extremely bright, this is a war, a war between her and the French!


    I don¡¯t know how long it took, and the door of the audition room opened again, and the black-haired girl came out. I could see that she was very happy, as if she would definitely get this role.


    "Miss Natalie Herschel, you are the next one," the staff member said at this time.


    "Okay, thank you!" Natalie squeezed her fist hard, cheered herself up in her heart, come on, Natalie, this is the beginning of your path to glory!


    "Mom, can I go in by myself?" Natalie looked at her mother.


    She doesn''t want people to think of herself as a kid who hasn''t grown up. When Ryan participated in the audition for the first time, no one accompanied him into the audition room. I can''t be worse than that fool, right?


    "Okay, Nat." Mrs. Shelly sat down again, anyway, Ryan was inside, there was nothing to worry about.


    After all, she participated in the filming of "Schindler''s List". Natalie was sitting in a chair. Although the camera lens was facing her, she was not nervous at all.


    The outside light of the eyes caught Ryan unconsciously. The other party seemed to know she would do this. The bright sky-blue eyes looked over in an instant. When the two eyes touched together, Natalie suddenly felt Incomparable peace of mind, incomparable self-confidence.


    Matilda must be mine! She was full of confidence, just...how did she suddenly feel that she and Ryan have known each other for more than two years, as if they...have known each other in the last life.


    ¡°I¡¯m Natalie Herschler, born in June 1981. When I was four years old, I started to learn dance and acting. I often performed in community theater troupes. I participated in the filming of Schindler¡¯s List in March... "


    Natalie made a simple introduction, her face was calm, and she never looked at Ryan again.


    "Miss Natalie, can you ask about your role in "Schindler''s List"?" The question was Luc Besson.


    "A girl named Bena, one of the survivors of the Holocaust."


    "Well, can you analyze the role of Matilda?"


    The person who asked the question was Jules Stewart. Luc Besson cast aside his lips without a trace, saying that she and the creator of the character are good friends, no better. Does this question make sense?


    "cold, desperate, helpless, self-willed, rebellious but precocious and strong!" Natalie spoke of Matilda''s character in the simplest terms.


    Julius gave a satisfied smile, Luc Besson simply stopped asking these meaningless questions, and asked the assistant to take a script to Natalie.


    "Can you perform this monologue?"


    Natalie rolled her eyes without a trace, and she rummaged through the entire script. Naturally, she knew that this section was one of the most difficult and important shots.


    French! Natalie couldn''t help thinking of the way Ryan pouted whenever he mentioned the French. Sure enough, the French is not a good thing!


    None of these can bother me! I will be the most perfect! One day I will stand at a higher position than Ryan, and then sneer at his disrespectful attitude towards art!


    surpassing her friends seems to have become Natalie''s motivation and an obsession.


    After receiving the mobile phone from the assistant, Natalie took a deep breath. After the cameraman made her start gesture, her temperament instantly changed.


    She left the chair a long time ago, crawling forward along the floor, it seems that there is the non-existent **** under her knees.


    "Hello!" She grabbed a hand in front and put the phone to her ear.


    The assistant who played the role said the line at this time, "This is the Spencer School in New Jersey. I am the principal of McCullin. Is Mr. Landau or Mrs. Landau here?"


    Natalie blinked her eyes and hesitated. After looking back, she came up with a countermeasure. Her voice became thicker and disguised as the voice of an adult woman, "I am!"


    "Mrs. Landau, when your husband sent Matilda, he told me that she had some''problems''. As you know, we have influenced countless problem girls and made them normal and healthy women. If you don¡¯t send her here, what we can do is extremely limited. Now Matilda has left school without authorization for two weeks. I know your husband paid a year¡¯s tuition in advance..."


    Listening to the comments of the so-called ¡®problem girl¡¯, Natalie¡¯s expression became more and more gloomy, and her eyes opened wider and wider, which clearly reflected despair and coldness...


    "If you can''t send her over in time, the tuition fee will be confiscated!"


    "She... is dead!"


    At this moment, Natalie becomes Matilda, her voice is bleak and sad, like a person who has gone through a tribulation accident, with unconcealable sadness on her face, but she remains strong in despair. Don''t let yourself cry weakly.


    "Slap~"


    seems to be immersed in the role, Natalie snaps the mobile phone to the non-existent landline, tragedy happened, and the Motorola cell phone disintegrated.


    "Ah~"


    The crisp sound also made her regain her senses. She looked at the parts on the ground and smiled awkwardly.


    "It''s ok."


    Luc Besson waved his hand. In just ten minutes, his perception of this girl has changed drastically.


    Although she knew that she played a very important role in Spielberg''s work, she always believed that the other party was able to enter the crew of "Schindler''s List" because of her relationship with Ryan Jenkins.


    Moreover, she is too thin, and she is cute at best. It is too far away from the beautiful and **** Matilda image he imagined.


    In his mind, Matilda should be somewhat similar to the girl named Liv Tyler. However, the image of that girl is very suitable, but it is slightly taller, and she has acting skills... well, her acting skills are completely Can be ignored.


    As a veteran filmmaker, he knows very well that opposing scenes are often not difficult. Monologues are one of the most challenging places for actors. Moreover, this phone monologue should express Matilda¡¯s personality and living environment. , Can be called one of the most difficult places in the movie.


    What I didn¡¯t expect was that this girl was so outstanding. She completed this performance with simple facial expressions and a few eyes. Could it be that she is the same genius as Ryan Jenkins?


    Compared with her, the Liv Tyler just now was so much different. In addition to being more photogenic, he suddenly felt that the other party had no advantages, and at best could only become a vase in the lens.


    It¡¯s just her figure... The French¡¯s common problem is guilty again. Luc Besson sighed, but don¡¯t think about her figure. This girl is just like Ryan Jenkins, she is completely thin.


    Watching the staff take away the wreckage of the mobile phone Natalie spit out her tongue embarrassedly, Xiao Xiao shook her hand at Ryan, and her friend¡¯s attention shifted from behind the camera. Thumbs up to her.


    is great? Of course! Natalie turned her head slightly, and pointed her small pointed chin to her friend.


    Humph! See my acting skills, Ryan, you are a fool! She couldn''t help showing a hint of pride.


    "Well, Miss Natalie, we will notify you of the results of the audition as soon as possible."


    Luc Besson''s face clearly wrote satisfaction, Natalie couldn''t help but twitched her mouth, habitually looked at Ryan, and made a silent exchange with her eyes.


    you win! Natalie read out the meaning, gave a lady''s gift to Julis Stewart and Luc Besson, and walked out of the audition room.


    "Boom~"


    The moment she walked out of the room, she let out a sigh of relief, I won! Won the French!


    "Nate..." Mother came over caringly, and Natalie greeted, "Mom, let''s go home and talk as we walk."


    just walked out of the studio, and there was a dense sound of footsteps behind him. No need to look back, just listen to the familiar frequency and rhythm. Natalie also knew that Ryan was chasing.


    "Nate!"


    "Ryan, why are you here?" she asked.


    "Congratulations, dear Matilda!" The boy smiled very brightly, and pointed to Jinsli who followed, "In order to celebrate your acquisition of this role, Pat would like to treat you~"

 Chapter 116： Portman

    At the beginning of the Hua Deng, Ryan and several people walked into an Italian restaurant, which is well-known in Brooklyn and is known for its authentic Italian meals, but there are not many types of food for Natalie and Mrs. Shelly. , Strict vegetarians or something is the most troublesome.


    Speaking of it, Natalie broke the ring a long time ago under the bewitching of Ryan, but it was only when the two were alone, in front of her mother, she was still a good girl, even though she had already shown signs of rebellion.


    Jinsli and Mrs. Shelly sat together, constantly exchanging views on Natalie''s future development, while Ryan and Natalie got together and whispered in a low voice.


    "What, do you want to change your name?" Ryan was slightly surprised.


    "Yeah, I don''t want to be like you." Natalie said with her lips curled.


    "Like me? What''s wrong with me?" He is really a little strange now, it seems that he has become a negative textbook again.


    "Don''t you complain to me often? In school, classmates always look at you with strange eyes, and reporters are surrounded by the school door all day long." Natalie said all things Ryan often wrote in letters. "Also There are too many letters sent by fans, and there is no time to read and reply."


    "Reporters and the like, just get used to it, but it is really troublesome for fans to write letters or something." Ryan scratched his head a little.


    Ryan¡¯s school is not a secret, and often hundreds of letters are received every week. These letters cannot be thrown randomly, and George is often required to carry a bag to pack.


    Choose a part of them to reply, that is the work that must be done. Although most of the replies are handed over to the team behind the scenes, no matter how you handle them, you must be careful.


    He complained to Natalie more than once in the letter about these things. Of course, it was a ruthless blow in return.


    "So, I decided to give myself a stage name... well, try to be as less harassed as possible before you are a child." Natalie put down the fork in her hand, tapped the table lightly, and said in a low voice, "Portman, Nata Li Portman, what do you think, Ryan?"


    Natalie Portman? What do i think? Does this need to be said? Ryan rolled his eyes, "Not bad, is this your grandmother''s last name?"


    "Yes, I remember telling you before that she participated in World War II and passed on intelligence to the Allied forces."


    "A heroine." Ryan nodded. Natalie is not ordinary smart. She knows how to use every advantage of her own. She and she are really the same person. "Why didn''t I think of changing my name in the first place?" "


    "Want to know the reason?" Natalie''s chin curled up.


    "of course."


    "Because you are a fool, the number one fool in the world!"


    Seeing Ryan''s face turned dark, Natalie laughed happily, and hitting him was her greatest pleasure.


    Despite the name of this restaurant, there are not many people who dine. Not far from Ryan¡¯s table, a man and a woman are sitting at the table and talking about something.


    "Liv, so you are hopeful that you will win this role?"


    "Huh huh~" The girl has a long face and black hair. It is Liv Taylor. "When I left the audition room, I could tell that the director was very satisfied with me."


    has lived in the complex and chaotic rock circle and model circle since she was a child. To her, observing her words is just a trivial matter.


    "That''s great."


    The agent showed a bit of excitement. Ryan Jenkins''s work has never failed. As long as Liv can become popular, it means that his income will also rise sharply. Maybe he can still be like Pie Jinsli. Take advantage of this opportunity to become a top broker.


    "Isn¡¯t Ryan Jenkins also in the audition room? He didn¡¯t say anything?" The agent knows very well that the other party is the creator of Matilda, who has a certain status in Hollywood and should have a great deal of this role. say.


    "Ryan..."


    Liv Tyler raised his head, and happened to see another table in front of him. The person sitting opposite her was not Ryan Jenkins?


    He is joking with a girl, why is that girl so familiar?


    After a little recollection, she remembered, isn¡¯t this the last girl to audition? She also greeted her, as if she was called Natalie...


    How could she be with Ryan Jenkins, looking at the appearance of the jokes, she will definitely not be a new acquaintance, nor can she be an ordinary acquaintance, no matter how she looks like a very good friend!


    As soon as the audition was over, they got together, and they were so happy. Could it be that they were celebrating...


    Liv Taylor is also not a simple girl. Although she is an illegitimate daughter, her parents are celebrities in the entertainment circle. She has been dealing with this circle since she was a child. As her mother participates in various parties, she is used to seeing the glamorous behind. The dark side.


    Drugs, alcoholism, binge, trading, homosexuality, etc., she doesn''t know how many she has seen. She knows that behind seemingly fair auditions, there can never be fairness. She also knows that being familiar with or not being born is one of Hollywood''s unwritten rules.


    In a short moment, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace, and she understood that the character that was within reach was getting farther and farther away from her.


    Ryan and Natalie are naturally unaware of what happened today and will cause some trouble in the future.


    "I''ve seen Luc Besson''s film, but I haven''t seen him shoot it on the spot. I don''t know what style of director he is." Ryan and Natalie talked softly, the topic naturally centered on "Killer Leon ", "However, Nat, don''t worry, the French fat man can''t beat James Cameron even if he is strict."


    "Oh~" Natalie said after wiping her mouth with a napkin after eating a piece of vegan pizza, "I''ve seen Jean Renault, what about Gary Oldman?"


    Gary Oldman also came from Ryan''s recommendation, Luc Besson, after talking with him once, decided to let this evil guy play the policeman Stan.


    "It''s rumored to be a very funny person." Ryan shrugged.


    "Killer Leon" has just begun preparations, and it is too early to start. Although there are not many big scenes in the movie, many shots need to be closed. This is New York. We must communicate with the city hall in advance. This is the work alone. , It will consume a lot of time.


    As for Natalie, after watching her audition, she has nothing to worry about in acting. The only problem is that she is a lot thinner than when she starred in this movie in her previous life.


    Especially, Matilda in the previous life has already bulged two small bags on her chest, but now Natalie is a real airport.


    Age is not a big issue. Even if Natalie is fifteen, it will still cause controversy.


    However, Jin Shi Ruien became the creator of the script. With his current fame, even if there is a sky full of gunfire and sewage, most of them will come at him.


    Correspondingly, Natalie will no longer be under such pressure as she did in her previous life.


    In the previous life, "Killer Leon" was hailed as a classic, but it was not a success in North America-word-of-mouth and box office were not good-since the day it was released, it has been bombarded by mainstream media, especially Natalie While gaining praise for her acting skills, she was accompanied by tremendous pressure, and even many media continued to discredit her.


    Among those who support her, most of them are middle-aged men. Many of the letters sent to her are also strange language.


    If it weren''t for her cleverness and precociousness, and her aspirations and strong enough, under this kind of double-hearted treatment, she might become another **** girl.


    Even so, it still had a huge impact on her in the future. For example, as an adult, she once publicly stated that she did not like the role of Matilda.


    "When are you going back to Los Angeles?" Natalie asked.


    "Tomorrow, I can''t take a long time off, otherwise, Nicole should be upset again." Ryan sighed. The impact of the Polish incident is huge, and Nicole Kidman''s control is much stricter than before. "You know, I was banned by Nicole last month..."


    Things in New York are coming to an end. After returning to Los Angeles, whether at home or at school, Ryan has restrained a lot. God only knows what happened to Nicole, and his requirements have been much stricter.


    Of course, Ryan will not understand that this is a side effect of a conversation with Harvey Weinstein during the Oscar party.


    This is also good can let him put all his energy into the script creation of "Scream", besides, there is no other plan during this period, so he can take time to make "Harry" "Porter and the Order of the Phoenix" was written.


    In fact, there are still many crews who have invited him, but most of them are small supporting roles. They don''t have much value in acting, and they will not help him much in the future.


    His body has been undergoing rapid development, and his height has begun to approach adults infinitely, but his face is still an immature teenager.


    Generally late child stars will encounter the most embarrassing period after the age of thirteen or four. Ryan has ushered in this stage early, even if he has been a human for two lifetimes, he can¡¯t find the memory after searching his mind. A very suitable role can only be so for the time being.


    Maybe I can create a story? Tailor a character for yourself? This thought would pop out from time to time, and Ryan was also a little moved.


    After so many years of plagiarism and plagiarism, I have gained some experience. What''s more, he has more than 20 years of film experience than the current person. It is normal to have this idea.


    However, it is not the time yet. His signboard in Hollywood has just been erected. If it gets messed up, it will definitely have an impact on the future.


    Speaking of it, I am still better in music than in movies. I can create original songs and my level is not bad. I really don¡¯t know what to say.


    You should know that the song "Climb" stayed at the top of the bulletin board for 11 weeks before giving up the title. Although it did not break the championship record of "I Will Always Love You" for 13 consecutive weeks, it has gained countless results. Praise.

 Chapter 116： bad idea

    Sitting behind the judges¡¯ table, Ryan was embarrassed. He did not expect that one day, he would also become the legendary judge teacher. Unfortunately, when he created the role of Ryan Jenkins, the **** who made him reborn, it seemed that Forget about the poisonous tongue talent.


    This is the Mickey Mouse Club selection activity co-led by Disney TV Children¡¯s Channel and Hollywood Record Company. Because it is aimed at young people, this club has a huge flow of people. Every year, some old people are sent away and a lot of fresh blood is added.


    When he went to the record company a few days ago, he happened to hear John Burns talking about this selection, and he said casually, if it was broadcast on the TV station, it might be able to boost the ratings.


    So, in order to increase the ratings, Disney TV not only did this, but also brought him to serve as one of the judges.


    In fact, in this era, there have been many large and small drafts in the United States, but most of them are confined to a small range, and no one has fully realized how much value will be generated after thorough promotion.


    Anyway, there is a lot of salary to get, and not much time is wasted, Ryan simply agreed.


    He looked at the other two judges. Sitting in the middle was a director of the Children¡¯s Channel, Jenny Joanna, who is also the direct person in charge of the Mickey Mouse Club. Next to her was John Burns.


    This is still a very traditional star selection. Although Ryan knows a lot of tricks to increase ratings, he didn''t say much. Disney TV and Mickey Mouse Club have little to do with him.


    Having said that, after Ryan returned to Los Angeles, the little girl named Aristina Aguilera went to his music practice room to look for him. Only then did Ryan learn that the original Mickey Mouse club practiced The studio is also at Hollywood Records.


    Of course, unless the other party can bring him benefits, Ryan will only regard her as a familiar fan.


    Ryan felt pretty good when he became a judge for the first time. This is not for the future drafts. The judges have to come up with some outstanding comments. The three of them only exchanged opinions after the players'' performances are over, and decides their stay. .


    The children who can pass Disney''s first selection in various places and come to Los Angeles naturally have a certain level, and there are also relatively high level people.


    Such as this one being performed on the stage.


    While listening to the songs he sang, Ryan scanned his information. The color photos with large gaps in front teeth and freckles on his face were very eye-catching. If it weren''t for the text of the information, he would not have thought that he would be famous in the future. Boss Jia, he turned out to be this shabby when he was a teenager.


    After Justin Timberlake finished singing and bowed slightly to the front, he walked into the backstage. This is the selection of the Mickey Mouse Club, but there is no comment from the judges.


    "This is good, except that the image is a bit poor, whether it is the sense of the lens or the level of singing."


    Obviously, he was approved by Jenny Joanna, and Ryan nodded slightly.


    "I am Ryan..." The boy on the stage scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "I am Ryan Gosling from Canada, and the song I sang is "Yesterday Reappearance"!"


    Ryan looked at the guy with the same name on the stage, and suddenly remembered that in the previous Mickey Mouse club around 1993, several people later became superstars.


    As expected, after a few more contestants, a sweet-looking blonde girl walked up. Although she looked strange, she looked a little bit grown up.


    "My name is Britney Spears and I am from Louisiana. You can call me Boob. The song I sang is "The. Show"."


    The playful and cheerful music sounded. It was the Johnson & Johnson commercial song whose lyrics were changed by Ryan.


    This song was changed to a boy¡¯s perspective by Ryan, and he did not expect the other party to change it back to a girl¡¯s perspective. However, the singing level at this time is far from adulthood. It is better than Ryan Gosling, but better than Ryan Gosling. Not on Justin Timberlake.


    A few years ago, both Ryan and Nicole were waiting for an opportunity. He even thought of using script-sea tactics to knock on the door to the future. He did not expect that today can determine the fate of some stars in the past life. , The world is always more interesting than the movie, isn''t it?


    Isn¡¯t power and status exactly what I want? It was just the beginning now, and Ryan twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.


    After all the players have sang, the recording is complete. Ryan is very doubtful that the idea he casually expressed is a bit unreliable, without the vicious tongue of the judges, without the sensationalism of the support group, and without the players'' tears, how could it be driven? Ratings?


    "Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Ryan Gosling are very good." John Burns expressed his opinion. Although they are all judges, it is Jenny Joe who really made the decision. Anna.


    "Ryan, what''s your opinion?" Jenny Joanna asked.


    "Ah... Me?" Ryan looked at the sketched information in his hand, and suddenly came up with a bad idea... No, it was a great idea to make the Mickey Mouse Club very attractive. "Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Annie Mills, Djoel Snet..."


    All the names he read were girls, "Jane, how do you think the members of the Mickey Mouse Club are all girls? Well...it can be called the Blond Mickey Mouse Club."


    These girls have one thing in common. They all have beautiful blonde hair. Ryan feels that if all the blonde little loli is used, the effect will definitely be better than mixed men and women, and it will easily attract the eyes of all the uncles in the United States.


    By the way, there is also Christina Aguilera who is undergoing training. This combination can definitely kill all the strange things in seconds.


    And, when they are older and no longer suitable for Mickey Mouse Club, they can form a girl group, super girl? It seems that the name is good.


    This is definitely a good idea! It can definitely increase the ratings of more than 10 Disney TV children''s channels!


    Unfortunately, others would not think so. Jenny Joanna and John Burns looked at each other, and after laughing blankly, they both regarded his words as a joke. After all, Ryan''s performance sometimes did get rid of it.


    "Okay! Okay!" Seeing Jenny Joanna''s eyes again, Ryan knew that this plan was impossible to achieve, and immediately said, "Britney Spears, Justin Dingblake, Ryan Gosling is pretty good, that...Jessica Simpson also has potential, I suggest you count her."


    Anyway, he just made a suggestion. If Disney does not need to, then it will leave his business alone.


    What a pity, if Disney does it according to its own words, Mickey Mouse Club can be renamed the Golden Silky Cat Club.


    When he left the studio, Ryan was still thinking about it, um...If that''s the case, would the Walt Disney guy jump up from the ground in anger to settle the account?


    "Ryan, can you write a few new songs for the Mickey Mouse Club?" Jenny Joanna hit his head again, "The kids inside are all your supporters."


    "New song?" Ryan scratched his head. There are not many songs suitable for this age. It will take time if it is original.


    However, he immediately thought of a good idea, let the people inside Disney go wrestling.


    "Jenny, it is said that "The Lion King" has completed some fragments, including many songs, which require a chorus..."


    When he said this, Jenny Joanna''s eyes lit up. Yeah, those songs in "The Lion King" were also made by Ryan, or songs from animated movies, so they fit the Mickey Mouse Club!


    Looking at Joanna who was leaving in a hurry, Ryan sighed, and finally succeeded in putting the blame on it. Recently, it has become more and more restless.


    Let¡¯s not talk about the movie. There are several film companies that Jinsli expressed to him that he wants to work with. The news that he is creating a script for Drew Barrymore has been circulated in the circle for a long time, whether it is Jinsli. Siri, or Drew, has become the focus of some people''s public relations.


    And as the global sales of "Ryan Jenkins" officially exceeded 5 million copies, many singers have sent out invitations for songs, including acquaintances like Whitney Houston and Maria ¡¤ Kelly is a newcomer in the music scene, UU Read www.uuk¨¡nshu.com and even Madonna Siconi¡¯s agent came over and got a kick.


    When I got home, I just walked into the living room of the villa, and found that Jinsli had come to the door. If there is no particularly important thing, it can be solved on the phone.


    "Ryan, this is an invitation from the NBA."


    "What?" After greeted Nicole, she kissed her forehead again, Ryan sat on the sofa, "NBA?"


    "That''s it." Jinsili handed over a formal invitation.


    Ryan looked through it and understood what was going on. To be precise, this was an invitation from the NBA. He wanted him to sing "I Believe I Can Fly" at Chicago''s United Center in the Finals.


    NBA? basketball? In his previous life, he was a standard football fan and didn¡¯t know much about basketball. Those who knew the names were the basketball emperor Michael Jordan and his friend Scott Pippen. As for games, he basically didn¡¯t watch it. Over.


    Why didn¡¯t the World Cup Organizing Committee invite me to sing live? Ryan complained a little in his heart.


    However, it is better to accept the invitation. After all, this is a win-win thing. The finals should be broadcasted to more places in the United States and even the world. This is a good opportunity to expand their influence and promote album sales.


    I can¡¯t live with anyone, and I can¡¯t live with the green bills, right?


    Besides, "I Believe I Can Fly" was originally born for the basketball emperor, so now it is time to make up for this shortcoming.

 Chapter 117： Hand-drawn animation and computer animation

    After a busy few months, Ryan ushered in a rare leisure time. The life of home, school, and record company was a three-point line of life. It felt a bit like when he lived in a junior high school in his previous life. It was just him, a student. Still not doing business properly.


    Because of the relationship between "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" at the same time, the script of "Screaming Scream" has been completed indefinitely. This movie has been criticized too many places in the past life, and Ryan has to keep the basis of the main plot. Go up, perform operations on some places.


    Fortunately, over the past few years, he is very familiar with Hollywood tactics. Although it has been a little troublesome, he will not suddenly get stuck.


    As for Drew Barrymore, after calling and urging a few times, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, Ryan is famous in Hollywood, and there is not much difference between the early months and the late months. What''s more, she took a new play-"The Tide of Desire".


    This is nothing. What surprised Ryan was that Drew appeared on the cover of the latest issue of "Evaluation" magazine, still naked.


    Ok! Fighting for a position is the most commonly used method of hype by actresses in the entertainment industry, not to mention an open girl like Drew Barrymore.


    I don''t know if this guy got water in his head, or if he did it intentionally, he called him out to play from time to time, but Ryan refused them all.


    What''s a joke, Ryan Jenkins and Drew Barrymore have sex, maybe news of a sister-in-law relationship will appear in the tabloids from time to time. If you are caught by a paparazzi with her, you really have a mouth to say I don''t know.


    Besides, Drew always speaks explicit language and does some provocative actions. Ryan is also a little afraid that his young, restless heart cannot stand too much sex.


    In case something goes too far, with Drew¡¯s character, I am afraid that the whole world will know...


    In addition to unfinished scripts and novels, Ryan also goes to a record company every day or two. Music can be different from acting. If you don¡¯t practice for a period of time, you will learn how to practice your singing and use of instruments. , Is an indispensable course, even if his musical talent is indeed outstanding, but hard work is still necessary.


    is just the current record company. Not only has it signed several other singers, but also has a group of chirping peers, many of whom can be regarded as his fans.


    Every time he practiced, the little guy in the Mickey Mouse Club would always come over with various excuses, signing autographs, asking for advice, and other reasons.


    Some time later, Ryan also observed the peculiar situation in the Mickey Mouse club. For example, Justin Dingblake and Ryan Gosling always got together, and the good ones are about to wear a pair of pants, and Britney Si Pierce, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson have become good sisters, and often have a lot of quarrels with the previous pair.


    is really interesting! Ryan later felt that Boss Jia and Boss Gao looked like they were handsome guys when they grew up. I remember that Boss Jia made Britney spooky people and ghosts in the previous life, which made people see Xiao Tiantian. EQ is infinitely close to zero.


    But, is it too boring to follow the development of the previous life? How about a realistic version of Brokeback Mountain, like a handsome bearded man like Boss Jia and a little white face like Boss Gao? I believe it will definitely cause countless female voices to scream.


    Well, it seems like this is a good idea?


    There is no doubt that Ryan¡¯s personality becomes more and more unscrupulous as he grows older. If someone asks, he will definitely distinguish between them plausibly. These two guys have harmed many young Hollywood women in their previous lives. I¡¯m ahead of time. Launch a big rescue.


    In the Disney Animation Studios, a small projector is working silently. On the silver-white screen, a trial clip of "The Lion King" is shown. It only takes a few minutes. There is no soundtrack or dubbing. The effect of the picture is a bit rough, but no matter what It''s Simba in his childhood or Nana, who can already show off his style vividly.


    These 2D hand-painted masters, the painters are indeed extraordinary. In this respect, Ryan is inferior. After the screening of more than five minutes, he took the lead in applauding.


    Even though the animal images and the subtle plots have changed a bit compared to the previous one, they are still the same as all the animations produced by Disney, which can be called a boutique. If the dubbing and songs are added, Ryan believes that this will still be The pinnacle of 2D animation.


    Both the production manager Don Hahn and the two directors Roger Ehlers and Rob Minkov are also full of confidence in this. They all believe that after the animation film is released, it will be reproduced by Disney. The splendor of animation.


    Brilliance is certain, but decline is inevitable.


    Ryan can¡¯t say anything. 3D computer animation has appeared a long time ago, but no one pays attention to it. Even Steve Jobs, the owner of Pixar, is privately pessimistic about the future of 3D animation.


    Pixar¡¯s losses in the last two years are said to have been around tens of millions of dollars. With Jobs¡¯ current net worth, Ryan has also heard people say that he sells Pixar everywhere, but the entire industry is skeptical about the prospects of 3D animation. Attitude, only his old rival Microsoft offered a purchase price of $30 million.


    It''s a pity that Jobs asked for about 50 million U.S. dollars. It is said that the two sides have fallen apart.


    Ryan knew very well that if according to normal historical development, Steve Jobs would find a home for Pixar almost every year, but he was always in his hands, and finally had to grit his teeth and persevere, finally in exchange for the success of "Toy Story" , And Pixar¡¯s billion-dollar net worth after listing, and use this as a springboard to return to Apple.


    The chance to wait for myself is coming! Ryan said in his heart.


    "Tang, very good, even better than I imagined in my mind."


    Walking out of the closed conference room, Ryan smiled and said to the production manager, which was not a compliment. "When will it be all done?"


    "We will have to wait for next year at the soonest, or if we put all our efforts into it." Don Hahn made a gesture that you understand, "The studio has almost mobilized all the painters and is working overtime."


    The production of animated movies is far more troublesome than live-action movies, but as long as it succeeds, the income can be several blocks away from live-action movies. Ryan heard about it. In order to ensure the progress of "The Lion King", the animation studio temporarily shelved all other plans. .


    "Well, then I''ll wait for the movie to go viral." Ryan was about to leave.


    "Wait, Ryan." Don Hahn yelled to him, "Don''t forget, the movie still needs your voice."


    This is the key. Now who doesn¡¯t know the name Ryan Jenkins, it has begun to become a box office guarantee, not to mention that the two parties still have a contract.


    "No problem." Ryan naturally never thought about breaking the appointment, "Which character?"


    "How about Simba? You will be dubbing both in childhood and adulthood. I think your ability to change singing and tone, plus our post-processing, should be no problem, right?" Don Hahn obviously had it long ago. Think about it.


    You can really save money! Ryan murmured, "Forget it in adulthood, Don."


    "Then... okay!" What Disney wanted was a boo head for publicity, but Don Hahn didn''t want to let him go, "The theme song of the movie, "Love Tonight"!"


    "Wait, Don." Ryan rolled his eyes, "I think this song is most suitable for Elton John to sing."


    "Elton John? Who is that?" Don Hahn looked confused, as if he had never heard of the name.


    impossible? The previous life Elton John was the original singer of this song, a superstar in the pop music world. Although he is still a little away from Michael Jackson, he is also a well-deserved king of heaven.


    Ryan walked out of Disney with a helpless look. It''s really strange. There really is no famous singer named Elton John in this world. If he became famous after 1980, it can be said that he was influenced by his own butterfly wings. Impact, the question is that the other party should have become a superstar in the 1970s. What''s the matter?


    I don''t think about things that I can''t figure out. Anyway, when he appeared in this world, I don''t know how many people have changed their destiny.


    On the way home, Ryan specifically asked George to drive past a famous record store. After he dressed up with hats and sunglasses, he walked into the record store and found the shelves of rock and nostalgic golden songs. Over and over, I scanned other shelves, and later asked George to ask a few older fans.


    Their answers are very consistent. There is no rock star named Elton John in this world.


    Okay, this shouldn''t be my business! Ryan sat back in the car shrugged, and along the way, he recalled the specific circumstances of the disappearing superstar. He emerged in 1969 and became the greatest rock singer in the 70s. One, this should have nothing to do with his rebirth.


    It seems that this world still has some changes that he doesn''t know! Ryan sighed. Fortunately, the general direction was still rolling forward according to the trajectory of the previous life, and the direct changes brought about by him were basically panoramic.


    For example, Spielberg and "Schindler''s List", this film, which started filming a year earlier than the previous life, has been officially closed after entering late May.


    Spielberg used 71 days of shooting in his previous life. In this world, many of the scenes are set up while shooting, which took a little longer, but after more than 80 days, all the shots were finally completed.


    Ryan was relieved when he heard the news. Spielberg was convinced. After the filming was completed, he temporarily handed over the post-production work to his assistant. After a few days in Los Angeles, he met with Nicole Key. Deman, Sam Neal and others flew to Hawaii.


    Catherine Kennedy and George Lucas led the early stage team and rented an island there. After a long period of preparation, "Jurassic Park" can be started at any time, just waiting for Spielberg and the actors to be in place.


    Nicole Kidman called back and said that Industrial Light & Magic had made lifelike models of Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops and Velociraptors, which looked as amazing as real from a distance.


    The summer vacation is coming soon. Ryan plans to complete his singing in Chicago and then go around from New York to Miami and then to Hawaii to see several major productions that are closely related to him in this life.

 Chapter 118： Chicago United Center

    "I''m sorry, Nat."


    Ryan played with the pen in his hand, and was comforting Natalie in New York over the phone, "I promise, I will be in New York the day after tomorrow..."


    "Well, will you watch the NBC live broadcast? Not before the opening, but during the intermission..."


    Speaking of this, Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head. Originally, he thought it was like a football game. He sang before the game. After arriving in Chicago, he realized that it was performed during the intermission.


    "Ryan, we should start." Jinsli knocked on the door.


    "That''s it, Nat, see you in New York."


    Putting down the phone, Rui Enhui Alloy Silly got out of the hotel, and the special car was already waiting at the door. After they got in the car, the car quickly drove towards the United Sports Center, home of the Chicago Bulls.


    Because they were not far away, they soon came to the periphery of the sports center. They saw that in the dark night, countless people and traffic were surging here, quite a bit of a large-scale celebration during important festivals.


    Sitting in the back seat of the car, Ryan was closing his eyes and resting. It was probably not a basketball fan. He didn''t care much about seeing the legendary basketball **** soon. Instead, he thought of Natalie in New York.


    After nearly three months of preparations, "Killer Leon" was launched as early as late May. Luc Besson first shot shots that have nothing to do with Matilda. After all, the summer vacation is coming soon. Waiting for Natalie to start shooting related shots during her vacation will reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.


    It was probably because I was absent from her birthday party. Natalie was a little upset when talking on the phone just now, and Ryan couldn''t help it. After all, the contract signed must be fulfilled.


    But, he still prepared a birthday gift for her, a very special gift!


    Of course, the NBA temporarily changed the number of times he sang, causing him to miss his friend''s birthday. For this reason, Ryan prepared a gift for them.


    The car drove onto the dedicated passage, which was much faster, and finally stopped in front of the player¡¯s passage. Perhaps the players from both sides entered the stadium long ago, and there were not many people gathered here.


    After getting out of the car, Ryan walked quickly into the court. The Chicago Bulls staff had already been waiting here and briefed him on the situation as he walked.


    Last night, Ryan had already come here and simply stepped on the scene once. The specific process has been set long ago. What I said at this time was just a few precautions.


    "This is the costume for the show?"


    Entering a small locker room, Ryan couldn''t help but stare a little, three miniature Bulls'' No. 23 jerseys.


    "Yes." Jinsli laughed. There were no outsiders in the locker room at this time. "It is said that the person who suggested you come to sing is Michael Jordan."


    "He?" Ryan scratched his face, guessing that the song was in line with the other''s appetite.


    Then, he sighed again. He really wanted to talk about his global influence. The other party could throw him ten streets, otherwise it would not be him wearing Jordan''s shirt to perform, but the other party imitating his appearance...


    Forget it, I''m thinking about it again! Ryan shook his head quickly. Although they said that there is no distinction between style and style, they are not people in the same circle at all.


    He did not choose the white at home, but the most classic red. The image of Jordan that he has not seen much in his previous life is almost all the appearance of him wearing a No. 23 red jersey with a long tongue flying and dunking.


    walked out of the dressing room, and the staff who received them came over again, talking about the process, "Ryan, the dressing room next..."


    locker room? Ryan¡¯s eyes began to light up. Although he is not a basketball fan, he is a football fan. He has long known that the locker room is the most mysterious and serious place in several major ball games. Most of the team¡¯s locker rooms, even teams None of the bosses can easily enter. It should be a good idea to enter the locker room of the famous Chicago Bulls.


    "Madam, it is better to stay..."


    came to the dressing room near the red bull''s head, the staff stopped Jinsli, and Ryan beckoned to the manager lady and made a relieved gesture.


    "Plap! Pop!" The assistant who took him into the locker room slapped his palms hard and attracted most people''s attention, then introduced, "This is Ryan Jenkins, who will be in the arena during the intermission. Sing..."


    Listening to the introduction of the assistant coach, Ryan was slightly embarrassed. Unlike what he imagined, the dressing room was not only non-mysterious, it looked more like a clutter room. The ground was messy clothes and sneakers, and the players were dressed differently, not at all. The tension before the competition.


    Especially, there are a few **** guys who are still naked, and the big stuff below is dangling, making Ryan feel very self-conscious.


    Okay, I''m still developing, and I may not be as good as you in the future! He can only comfort himself like this.


    "Hello, I have watched your game. Your performance is really great. You can definitely win the championship!" Under the introduction of the assistant coach, Ryan shook hands with these players one by one. Before they wore the jersey, He only knew one person-Michael Jordan.


    "Ryan, I like your song very much."


    The big names naturally came out at the end. When he shook hands with Jordan, the other party said, "I Believe I Can Fly" is great! I often play this song when I practice, and it always brings me passion. "


    "Really? It''s a great honor!" Ryan showed a look of surprise appropriately, "I hope I can help you. I have seen your dunk in the dunk contest. At that moment, I believe you are the closest person to the sky. ..."


    He made a somewhat exaggerated expression, "I was feeling, oh god, Michael Jordan must have a pair of invisible wings."


    After finishing speaking, he touched the opponent''s back playfully.


    is the most important game of the year. Ryan can¡¯t stay here for a long time. After a few words with Michael Jordan, he is ready to leave.


    "Come on, Michael, come on, Chicago Bulls, this year''s championship must be you!"


    Since I have come here, I naturally have to say a few words of encouragement. Amidst the roar of the players, Ryan walked out of the locker room and kept recalling in his mind whether this year''s championship was the Chicago Bulls?


    If the Bulls are naturally the best, then it means that he has brought luck. If not, maybe the local Chicago media will buckle the name of God of Despair on his head.


    Frankly speaking, the NBA can only be ranked third or second in the North American professional sports leagues. The most influential sport in the United States is football, followed by baseball. The NFL is the well-deserved boss, and the MLB is slightly better than the NBA. First, of course, with Michael Jordan, the influence of the NBA may have surpassed the MLB.


    However, this is not an ordinary event. This is the finals of the season. At this time, not only fans, but also many celebrities and wealthy people will appear in the arena.


    Before the players officially enter the field, the TV station in charge of the broadcast will capture the celebrities in the stadium. Based on the size of the names of the supporters of each team, there will be a silent contest first.


    As soon as ¡¡¡¡ Ryan entered the stadium, he was captured by the cameraman. He was wearing a No. 23 red bull jersey and quickly appeared on the big screen in the center of the stadium. Many fans, especially teenagers, immediately noticed this scene.


    "It''s Ryan~"


    "It''s really Ryan..."


    "Unexpectedly, he is also a supporter of our team."


    "Look, he wears Jordan''s number, so he likes Michael too!"


    "Ryan~"


    There were shouts in the arena, and they were sparse at first, but their voices immediately caught the attention of others. The cameraman also looked at Ryan with the lens very cooperatively. Soon, he was spotted by the audience. The presence.


    came to his seat on the sidelines, Ryan beckoned in all directions, and deliberately pulled up the red bull shirt, showing them a huge ¡®23¡¯ behind him.


    "Ryan! Ryan!"


    The shouts are getting more and more orderly. Although they are only a part of the fans, they are the most energetic and loudest teenagers. They shout loudly and loudly, as if they want to break through the roof of the United Center Arena.


    Many old fans opened their mouths in shock. If the name ¡®Ryan¡¯ were not clearly audible, they would have thought it was Michael Jordan who entered the game!


    "Wow~"


    The NBC live broadcast staff also exclaimed, "Look, this is Ryan Jenkins, a super child star who is known as a national teenage model. I didn''t expect that he turned out to be a supporter of the Chicago Bulls. Check it out! Look at Chicago. How much the fans welcome him, and at this moment, how like the appearance of the flying man Jordan!"


    Another live guest also interrupted, "This is unfair to the Portland Trail Blazers. Ryan Jenkins wearing a Bulls shirt sitting on the sidelines will double the combat effectiveness of young fans Where are the Blazers'' big-name fans? If there are not enough characters to hold the line, I doubt the Blazers will be timid before the battle!"


    Listening to the fans shouting once more than once, Ryan had to stand up and waved to the four directions. It seems that there are many of his fans among the fans. There will be no problems with his performance in the midfield, right?


    is booing at most, so I shouldn¡¯t be kicked out! Thinking of the show he was preparing to perform, Ryan felt a little guilty.


    You know, in such a frenzy atmosphere, female singers are usually singing and dancing, and male singers will show their own stunts even if they don¡¯t dance.


    Except for a few kinds of ballroom dance, Ryan is not very proficient in other dance steps, so in the recent period, he has practiced one of the best skills in his previous life, and he will definitely give the audience on site and in front of the TV a huge surprise.


    Because these guys made him miss his friend¡¯s birthday, he prepared a unique show for the NBA.


    However, will the NBA list such a performance on basketball occasions as unwelcome objects?


    Don''t think about it crooked, but Ryan promised Nicole Kidman that being a five-good young man would not be like boss Jia and Jenny Jackson in the previous life, who would engage in vulgar breast-exposure scandals during the Super Bowl.


    Speaking of which, this body is afraid of the cold and has severe alcohol allergies, but the coordination is excellent. If he is not in the entertainment industry, he can become a superstar if he goes to the sports circle.


    Of course, Ryan was just thinking about it.

 Chapter 119： Performance during the intermission

    "Scott..." The DJ on the scene loudly introduced the names of the players on the Bulls team.


    "Pippen!" The home fans shouted neatly.


    "The next one is our soul, the flying man... Michael..."


    "Jordan!"


    The ears of the person with the overwhelming call were sore that it was many times higher than when he called ¡®Ryan¡¯ just now.


    Ryan is a little bit emotional. Michael Jordan is the king here. He is just a passer-by. His stage is destined not to belong here.


    As soon as the game started, it was heated up. Basketball is after all one of the favorite sports of Americans. Driven by the atmosphere of the scene, both George and Jinsli began to applaud again and again, but Ryan was quite bored.


    He only knows that a goal outside the arc is a three-pointer, and a goal inside the line is a two-pointer. The rest doesn''t even know the rules, and how can he understand the game. Clap and high-five and yelling are just pretends. After all, the camera From time to time the camera will be swept over.


    Soon, he discovered a strange thing, why is the guy with colorful hair and tattoos missing in the troika? For him, that person is more interested than the basketball emperor!


    Ok! He admitted that the reason why he knew Rodman was because of the strange friendship between him and Jin Sanpang that broke the world¡¯s eyeballs in his previous life... Well, there is also the scandal between him and Madonna, according to him It was revealed that Madonna was the woman who surprised him the most. Not only did she dare to **** him in front of her agent, he still couldn''t satisfy her...


    Thinking of Madonna, Ryan shuddered suddenly, and people in the circle often said that the men or women she played with could go from Beverly Hills to Malibu.


    That is the real scary existence...


    Ryan has used the ability of one mind and two purposes to the limit. Despite the gossip gossip in his head, when Jinsli and George applauded, he also subconsciously applauded, just like a qualified fan.


    "Ryan, get ready, it''s going to be an intermission soon!" Jinsli could naturally detect that he was distracted, and quickly reminded.


    "Oh~"


    responded, Ryan had taken the energy drink and moistened his throat a little. Since the Bulls jersey was just outside the short-sleeved shirt, there was no need to run back to the locker room.


    "Today is an important night for the city of Chicago. On this important night, we have invited a heavyweight performer!" When the players exited the field, the coolly dressed cheerleader performed a thigh dance. , DJ''s voice came from the live music, "Next, please Ryan...Jenkins, bring us "I Believe I Can Fly"!"


    "Wow, please Ryan!"


    "Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!"


    The call from the scene became louder and louder, and even the sound of music was suppressed.


    Ryan had just stepped on the wooden floor, and immediately a blond cheerleader brought the microphone.


    took the microphone, before he could speak, the blond girl gave him a hug, the strong smell of perfume almost made him shut his breath.


    "Good evening, friends in Chicago! I am very happy to come to the United Sports Center to witness such a great game." Ryan''s performance is absolutely worthy of the best supporting actor statuette, "I believe I can fly , Dedicated to all friends who love basketball, dedicated to the great Michael Jordan, dedicated to the basketball **** of Chicago!"


    Fortunately, he still knows to converge, and he shouts out the basketball **** of Chicago, otherwise it will definitely cause dissatisfaction in other areas. Michael Jordan is not the future.


    When the accompaniment sounded, the audience gradually became quiet, and then Ryan''s singing voice sounded.


    "I thought I couldn''t hold on, life is just a melancholy song, but now I understand..."


    Different from the genre of the album, the live accompaniment was re-arranged by Ryan again, adding a little light rock style, the rhythm is more rapid and clear, and the gloom in the song disappears completely, which is more suitable for this kind of hotness. Sing on occasion.


    "I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky..."


    The song gradually turned to be high-pitched, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Ryan waved to a female cheerleader and motioned for her to throw the basketball over.


    "He still plays basketball?"


    Many people are a little curious. Everyone knows that Ryan Jenkins devotes all his spare time to work and has never heard of him playing basketball.


    The brown basketball has crossed a parabola. Many people are speculating that this talented boy may make a few simple dribbles or turn the ball, or the most basic three-step layup is also possible.


    Just under everyone''s eyes, the song just came to the buffer after the chorus, and Ryan had...footed.


    "Huh~"


    Amidst the sighs of the audience, the basketball was like an obedient child, falling steadily on Ryan''s feet, as if glued to it, motionless.


    "this is?"


    Ryan''s feet flicked slightly, and the basketball flew up. Left shoulder, right shoulder, forehead, knee, thigh, left foot, right foot, the basketball seemed to have become part of his body, wherever it fell, it would fall. Where.


    There are a small number of spectators who have watched a football match, and they have come to understand, this...this is a bumpy ball! Still fancy ball!


    "Look, I''m on the verge of victory, shouting loudly can witness the birth of miracles, there are many dreams in life waiting for us to realize..."


    When the singing sounded again, basketball''s well-behaved Ryan bounced back and forth between his left and right feet. Although he was very confident, it was broadcast live to the United States and even the world. He had to reduce the difficulty of singing. If it messed up, then It''s embarrassing.


    "I believe I can fly! Spread my wings and fly high!"


    Ryan¡¯s old problems began to fall into the sound of the violent music, the blood boiled, the heartbeat quickened, and the jumping side appeared.


    "I believe I can fly! I saw me fly into the open door of victory..."


    With a lightly pick on his right foot, the basketball flew high, over his head, and fell behind him. Just when everyone thought the ball was about to fly away, Ryan''s left foot stretched out, and a scorpion waved its tail. Hook the basketball into the sky again.


    "I believe I can fly, I believe I started flying!"


    The singing fell, the basketball fell, Ryan''s head slightly shrank, and the ball stopped firmly on his forehead.


    "Wow~"


    There was enthusiastic applause from the audience. Even people who do not understand football anymore understand that this series of juggling is related to the European football.


    just...just, this is the basketball court, this is the NBA finals, what do you mean by Ryan Jenkins playing football here? Came here on purpose?


    When the companion stopped, Ryan''s forehead shook and the basketball fell forward. He swung his right leg and used a standard outside instep volley.


    He is at the center of the basketball court. He is ninety-nine percent confident here. He can kick a basketball to the backboard and call the curtain in such a unique way. In his opinion, it is very interesting.


    You even changed the time of the show at will, making me miss Nat''s birthday. This is Ryan Jenkins''s revenge.


    I have to say that sometimes, he is so narrow-minded that he must report.


    "Boom~"


    The basketball flew out in the dull light sound. Ryan didn''t even look at it, but turned around pretending to be chic and left.


    "Pong~"


    heard the sound of a basketball hitting the backboard, and then the audience was silent, as if they were suddenly pressed for a timeout.


    what''s happenin? Ryan turned his head back in surprise, only to see the basketball bouncing on the floor, still not understanding what was going on, so he looked up at the big screen that was playing back.


    The basketball flew away from his right foot, drew a weird arc, hit the backboard above the hoop, and after a clean rebound, it fell into the hoop.


    "This is... I kicked it out?" Ryan vaguely remembered that this seemed to be the second time that this happened. After the first time, he had experimented and kicked hundreds of times without success. Today¡¯s **** luck, unexpectedly...


    Maybe FIFA should give me a special contribution award. I took great pains to promote this sport in the football desert! Unscrupulous young people have more unscrupulous thoughts.


    He knows that this kind of thing can be done in two ways. Besides, he is not interested in promoting football, so he quickly returned to his seat.


    "Ryan..."


    Jinsli didn''t know what to say. She knew very well that she would receive a protest call if she didn''t know for sure.


    "Ryan! Ryan!"


    The fans finally came back to their senses, and the fans who supported him issued a fanatical shout, "Encore! Encore!"


    Encore! The corner of Ryan''s mouth trembles. If he can play again, what kind of entertainment is he going to play in Europe.


    "Is that FOOTBALL?"


    "Yes, what Ryan played is called Fancy Ball..."


    "Wow, this sport seems to be cool, maybe we should change sports to watch, every day is basketball..."


    David Stern was sitting in the VIP table, and he could faintly hear the discussion around him. His face was very ugly. You know, it is Chicago¡¯s proposal to invite Ryan Jenkins to sing live. He nodded and agreed. After all, using his powerful influence among teenagers can further promote the alliance...


    It¡¯s just that he actually played a game of soccer in the finals. What¡¯s the matter?


    "Go ahead and don''t invite Ryan Jenkins again." David Stern said to his assistant with a dark face.


    At the same time, in an office, a middle-aged man is watching an NBA live broadcast. Although he is an important member of the 94 World Cup Organizing Committee, what is football to him? Basketball is more interesting.


    "Bang Dang~"


    In the crisp sound, the boy wearing the No. 23 Bulls jersey easily kicked the basketball into the basket. His mouth slowly opened up, and then he remembered an important thing.


    "I Believe I Can Fly" is very suitable for basketball. The young man is so talented and has a huge influence among young people. Why can''t you ask him to write an advertising song, shoot it into a MV for promotion, and if you can perform it in British style? The technology of breaking the ball can change the publicity work that has been very unsatisfactory.


    By the way, remember to invite Maria Kelly to come, maybe two singer-songwriters can collaborate.


    There is no way. To attract the attention of the public in the football desert requires long-term and frequent propaganda work. The laws of football propaganda in other places are simply not applicable on this land.


    As for whether it is in line with FIFA practice, American talents who have never dealt with Europeans do not care about this, of course there will be routine notices.

 Chapter 120： gift

    In an apartment building in Brooklyn, New York, the crew is nervously busy. After June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but it hasn''t affected the shooting progress of "Killer Leon" in the slightest.


    Luc Besson took the tissue, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and gestured to the assistant.


    "Attention to all departments, the 14th scene 15th act now begins!"


    The man in the beige suit was obviously a bit nervous, fantasizing about Beethoven¡¯s Storm Sonata, like a conductor directing a large symphony orchestra, waving his arms, separating the yellow bead curtain, and walking a few steps Arrived by the fat man.


    The fat man cowered in the corner, seeming to be very, very afraid of him, with a trace of regret on his face.


    "Let''s say it''s noon!" The man in the suit bared his teeth and stared, looking extremely serious, but he gave people a chilling viciousness.


    The evil guy snapped his fingers, pointed at the fat man and said, "You must not like Beethoven. Do you know how wonderful you missed the performance? But his music will be dull after the opening ceremony. It''s boring..."


    A black-clothed man with a shotgun walked out from behind the bead curtain. The yellow suit gave out a nervous laugh, "Battered the house for me!"


    "Cut! Over!" Luc Besson stood up from behind the camera, and the smooth shooting progress made his face full of ease.


    Speaking of it, he feels that he should thank the little guy Ryan Jenkins for recommending this British actor named Gary Oldman, which is really suitable for the role of crazy police officer Stan.


    Also, that Natalie Herschel, okay! In the crew, it should be called Natalie Portman. Although there is a problem with the unstable state of the newcomer actor, the acting skills shown when the state is normal make the entire crew look admired. The staff from Miramax, in Privately call her the girl version of Ryan Jenkins.


    After changing into the beige costume, Gary Oldman walked out of the temporary dressing room, and through the open door on the other side, he saw the girl with the bob head flipping through the book unhappily, not at all as excited as he was a while ago. It seems...it seems to be wandering.


    "Hi, Natalie, what happened? Do you want to listen to Beethoven."


    "Hello, Gary, forget it, I don''t want to be a crazy policeman!"


    What Natalie is referring to is naturally the neurotic policeman in the script who likes to listen to Beethoven.


    "Well, Natalie, if you have something unhappy, you can tell me or tell your mother!" Gary Oldman liked this acting genius very much, rubbed her bob head and left.


    This kind of emotion is not very good. It has been going on for several days. Even her mother asked her if something unhappy happened in the crew, but Natalie knew in her heart that she was not happy and had nothing to do with others. In any case, it''s just because someone dropped the pigeon.


    "It was agreed in the letter that you will come to New York to watch my filming during the summer vacation, and come to New York to celebrate my eleventh birthday. Now, it has been so long since my birthday, and the shots were shot for a quarter. Now, you haven''t come yet, Ryan Jenkins, don''t think I will care about you!"


    "A show? Is a show more important than a good friend''s birthday party? It will only cause trouble!"


    Natalie pursed her mouth, staring wide-eyed, staring at the prop gun on the opposite side, thinking in her heart, when she sees that nasty guy, would she use the prop gun to give him a blank bullet.


    That guy seems to have a bad life. His extraordinary behavior during the show attracted criticism from the Chicago media. According to Patt, he seemed to be secretly listed as an unpopular figure by the NBA...


    However, his ball-dumping performance is really wonderful, and it has been supported by the vast majority of young people. Is this also a performance of a brain fan?


    "Hi, Luc, Gary, I heard that you guys are shooting here, I came over as soon as I got off the plane!"


    The old apartment rented for filming was not too big. The room closest to the doorway heard a very familiar voice.


    "Hey, Ryan, what are you looking for, Natalie? She''s in it, but she looks a little unhappy!"


    Don''t apologize seriously, don''t think I care about you! Natalie moved her chair on purpose and turned her back to the door. Although that guy is her best friend, she didn''t plan to let him go.


    Carrying a small gift box, Ryan walked to the door of the room and immediately saw Natalie with her back to him, still so thin.


    No need to look at the front, just looking at the back, Ryan can also guess that Natalie must be a little unhappy, after all, she had promised her a long time ago, Matilda will come to New York as soon as the shot starts. Also celebrate her eleventh birthday.


    Who would have thought that the NBA had changed the time, which happened to make him miss Natalie''s birthday.


    Forget it, NBA or something, I guess I will be insulated from myself in the future. If I have a chance, I will go to the Super Bowl to play. The influence is much more than that of the NBA Finals.


    "Hi, Nat!"


    Seeing the thin girl sitting in the chair, like a statue, without any reaction, Ryan had to walk around her in front of her, and then she was stunned.


    Under the thin light green coat, there is a short black waistcoat. The ends of the slender and smooth legs are covered with short green striped shorts. There is a big piece of flat abdomen exposed, and the round little belly button is swayed. A blink of an eye is exceptionally attractive.


    "What''s wrong, Ryan?"


    The eyes of her friend made Natalie feel very uncomfortable, as if she had become...a famous painting that he admired on the wall.


    Ryan recovered a bit, seeing Natalie''s bob head and frowning brows, the movie she had watched in her previous life could not help but flashed in her mind.


    Lolita, the light of my life, the fire of my desire, my sin, my...


    Hey there! What are you thinking! After playing role-playing for more than ten years and undergoing rigorous British etiquette training, Ryan has fairly strong self-control ability, and quickly dispelled the untimely thoughts in his mind.


    "I''m sorry, Nat, I''m lost."


    Anyway, when the two were chatting, he often lost his mind, Ryan pulled out this excuse very simply.


    However, when he saw Natalie frowning and thinking, he was a little guilty. Nat should...should not notice...


    Can''t let her think about it anymore. God knows where this girl who has entered the rebellious period will think of. Ryan remembered the gift box in his hand and quickly handed it over.


    "Although it is a bit late, I still want to say a happy birthday. This is a gift I designed by myself, dear Matilda!"


    "Really?" Natalie was excited when she heard that it was a gift designed by a friend herself, and subconsciously ignored the last sentence, "Can I open it now?"


    "Of course!" Ryan made a please gesture gracefully.


    Natalie unwrapped the package flexibly. Inside was a small black gift box, opened the lid, and when she saw the gift inside, she covered her mouth in disbelief.


    Slowly stroking the black leather necklace, the lamb leather is fine and soft, like the best Chinese silk. The front of the necklace is a silver-white metal pendant. The sun shape with a smiling face is more elegant than the neck. The prop worn on it is more than ten times stronger.


    Touching the pendant with her fingers, Natalie suddenly realized that this pendant was painted by Ryan for Matilda. It is definitely not available on the market, so he should have made it to order. This... is this silver or platinum?


    "Ryan, I can''t take it, it''s too expensive." Despite her disappointment, Natalie wanted to return it.


    After ¡¡¡¡ have been together for several years, Ryan can roughly guess what she is thinking, "Nate, don¡¯t refuse, okay? The pendant is made of white copper, and this necklace costs a little handwork."


    Although the two are friends, they are just friends. Ryan knows very well that Natalie will probably refuse to give gifts that are too expensive. She went to Chinatown to find an old craftsman and ordered them with white copper and lambskin. Such a necklace cost less than a hundred dollars in total.


    "That... okay." Natalie''s eyes flashed, "Ryan, I haven''t given you a gift yet, your birthday..."


    "I am sorry¡­¡­"


    She realized that she had said something wrong. After listening to Nicole''s mention, Ryan didn''t know what her birthday was, and she firmly rejected Nicole''s suggestion to give him a gift at the beginning of each year.


    "It''s beautiful, and I like it too!" Natalie was very smart and quickly changed the subject.


    "That''s good."


    Ryan laughed, and his eyes swept over Natalie''s neck. The prop collar is pretty exquisite, but it has all the flaws of movie props-lifeless!


    "Can you put it on for me?" Natalie asked happily I will be happy to help! "


    Ryan first untied the props Natalie was wearing, and then took the one she had customized from her, and put it around her thin neck.


    A gust of wind suddenly blew in from the open window, messing up Natalie¡¯s dark brown bob head, and a few strands of hair fell on Ryan¡¯s cheeks, itchy, numb, and that feeling was exactly the same. It¡¯s beautiful, time seems to have stopped at this moment.


    The heat that Ryan exhaled fell on Natalie¡¯s neck, her small ear beads, and her side cheeks, which disturbed her expression and her thoughts. She felt that the two of them had definitely met more than two. I have known each other for more than a lifetime, as if... as if he was looking for her, she was waiting for him!


    Before she knew it, Natalie took a small step back, and her thin back leaned against the boy''s generous chest. The thickness, the warmth, and the tranquility brought her a very comfortable feeling. Sense of security.


    As if in slow motion, Ryan buckled the black collar and stretched his hand to the front, flattening the silver-white pendant, as meticulously as a lover wearing a necklace for his lover, when Natalie As he got closer and closer, his head couldn''t help lowering, as if he wanted to take a bite on the white, tender and round ears.


    The atmosphere of the room suddenly changed, a kind of warmth entangled in it.


    ...I have something to do today, and the two chapters are uploaded directly...We will go on according to our own ideas, and let the grass break up. No matter what, thank you for your continued support. Thank you all for your rewards. Thanks!

 Chapter 121： Its always so painful

    "Nat..."


    Mrs. Shelley opened the door and walked in. Seeing the young men and women close together, she frowned and reminded, "Nate, you should go to touch up your makeup."


    "Okay, Mom, I''m going now." Caressing the pendant between her neck, Natalie bounced out of the room, the depression of the previous few days disappeared without a trace.


    I gave Mrs. Shelly a vain look, and Ryan followed out quietly, um... Fortunately, Natalie and Natalie just seemed to be close, otherwise they might be sued for molesting the girl.


    He subconsciously ignored it again, he was just a positive Tai.


    In the temporary dressing room, the makeup artist was smearing Natalie''s face. It was just a moment, and the girl''s angular face had a lot of scars. It was blue and purple. It was really pitiful.


    At this time, there were voices and footsteps from outside, and then a blonde woman led in another Xiao Zhengtai.


    The little guy is at most seven or eight years old, with a short blond hair covering his head smoothly, and his distinctive features have a bit of Jewish characteristics, but it lacks the toughness of a boy and the sleekness of a girl.


    There is only one character that fits this age in the script, and it should be Matilda''s younger brother. Ryan looked at him up and down, and suddenly felt a sense of disobedience. Could it be that there is a pseudo-mother in this era? This little guy is too girly, right?


    "Hello, Mrs. Melanie." Obviously, Natalie is familiar with them.


    "Hello, Nat."


    It was the little guy who answered. These soft words fell into Ryan''s ears and caused him to curl his lips. What is Luc Besson doing? Did you choose such a person to play Matilda''s younger brother?


    Okay, it doesn''t really matter, Matilda''s brother has few shots in total, not even a single line.


    Then, Ryan saw the blond woman who had a close conversation with Julie Stewart, and roughly guessed what was going on. The other person seemed to be an acquaintance of Julie, and he got the role for his son based on his relationship.


    This is normal. In Hollywood, actors introduced by acquaintances and celebrities in the circle have an inherent advantage.


    "Ryan, this is Ms. Melanie Sloan, a very famous producer in New York." Jules led the blond woman to him, Ryan stood up and shook hands with the other party, "It''s nice to meet you. , Ms. Sloan."


    "Hello, Ryan, nice to meet you."


    Ryan took a rough look, and it was obvious that this woman was also of Jewish descent.


    "That''s it, Ryan." Jules added at this time, "We lack a capable producer. I want to invite Melanie to join Jenkins Pictures."


    "This..." Ryan scratched his head. "Just make up your mind with Pat."


    After the two left, Ryan sat on the side steadily without disturbing the others. Only Natalie and the little guy were chatting affectionately, and they seemed to have a common topic.


    turns out to be from insiders! Ryan shook his head. It''s not very obvious now, but after entering the new century, more and more Hollywood stars are emerging from the family.


    Especially with the continuous emergence of big productions, taking the risk of activating newcomers without a foundation means a huge risk. When most of the investment is thrown into special effects and there is not enough funds to invite big-name stars, the production company will naturally turn its sights on Hollywood The descendants of the celebrities and their relatives, the inherent advantages and the constant hype, make many filmmakers happy.


    "cut!"


    Luc Besson sighed, but he had a temper and couldn''t express himself. Who made the other party just an eight-year-old kid.


    Besides, he performed well yesterday. Today¡¯s shot is indeed a bit difficult. After all, you can¡¯t ask every child to be an acting genius like Ryan Jenkins or Natalie Portman, right?


    "Mom, did I make a mistake again." The little guy''s voice was soft and waxy, and it sounded like a little pseudonym.


    "Mrs. Melanie, let''s talk, please?" Natalie walked over at this moment, comforting a few words, and the little guy''s expression that seemed to be crying gradually disappeared.


    "Fear! Do you understand, it''s just shaking with fear, such as..." Natalie scratched her head, "It''s like in the dark, you stay alone in a room..."


    "It''s still thundering and raining outside, mom and dad are not at home?" The little guy is very smart, and immediately understood the meaning of Natalie''s words.


    "Yes, that''s how it feels."


    "Okay, I think I know what to do, Nat."


    Maybe it was Natalie''s words that really worked, or maybe the few shots were not particularly difficult. In the next more than an hour, he completed all his own shots.


    "Half an hour off!" Luc Besson gave an order, and the crew broke up.


    "Nate, don''t you introduce your new friend?" Ryan walked and looked at the little guy Natalie was holding. "This little gentleman, can you tell me your name?"


    "Gentleman?" Natalie rolled her eyes.


    "Nate, is this the idiot you were talking about? But...but...he is Ryan!"


    "My dear, isn''t he an idiot who treats you as a boy?" Natalie said naturally.


    "Male...boy? I...I''m a girl."


    girl? Ryan felt a crow flying over his head. Who made this bad idea to let a girl come to play Matilda''s younger brother!


    Rolled his eyes and looked at the little guy again. Ryan sighed. Children of this age had their hair cut short. It is really difficult to distinguish between men and women from the appearance. No wonder the other party has a pseudonymous temperament. It''s a girl.


    "Well, this little lady, can you tell me your name?" Ryan showed a kind smile.


    "Don''t tell him." Natalie raised her eyebrows.


    "You...Hello, Ryan." Obviously, Natalie had miscalculated Ryan''s influence among teenagers, "I am Scarlett Johansson, you can call me Scarlett..."


    "Scarlett, you are a little traitor!" Natalie snorted dissatisfiedly.


    Scarlett Johansson? Ryan''s gaze swept across the opponent''s face. Could this dull and cute little guy be the black **** of a previous life? It''s not like it at all.


    It''s nothing strange, even if it is, Ryan has long been used to seeing all kinds of under-famous celebrities, and it doesn''t feel strange.


    Although the little guy is very fond of him, at this age, there are more common topics between girls and girls. After saying a few words, Ryan felt bored and simply walked aside and sat down quietly.


    After Jean Renault arrived, the crew moved to the stairwell outside the apartment and began filming the rivalry between Leon and Matilda.


    "The eleventh scene of the fifth scene, shooting now!"


    Copying the windbreaker pocket, Leon''s tall figure turned the stairs, entered the stairwell, and squinted at Matilda who was leaning on the guardrail. The little girl turned her body, holding the guardrail with one hand, and squeezing her nose with the other. There was a low choke sound.


    looked up and saw that there were no other people around, Leon took out a snow-white handkerchief from the pocket of the windbreaker and silently handed it over.


    It seemed that she did not expect this silent man to do this, Matilda hesitated, and finally took the handkerchief and wiped the blood from under her nose. She stared at Leon with big eyes, filled with hope. "Life is always so painful, or is it only in childhood?"


    Her big eyes didn''t blink, as if the other party''s words were all her hope.


    "It''s always so painful!" The tall man gave this answer after being silent for a while.


    The expression in Matilda''s eyes disappeared instantly, and despair gradually appeared in the already painful eyes. The big eyes were closed with force, as if the whole world had abandoned her.


    "Keep it." Leon turned and left.


    "I''m going to the grocery store to buy something, do you want me to buy you some milk?" Matilda asked, clutching the guardrail, shaking her body, "One or two? Two? Right?"


    Seeing the tall man nodded slowly, Matilda smiled happily, jumping down the stairs.


    Leon remained silent, and walked back to his room slowly and steadily.


    "pass!"


    After hearing Luc Besson¡¯s words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. After NG nearly ten times, whether it was Jean Renault or Natalie This time, the performance can only be perfect. To describe.


    Ryan sighed, there is never a shortage of geniuses in this world, the girl opposite is definitely an out-and-out genius in performance! Almost all the key points of this shot are focused on Matilda. In his imagination, even if Natalie is not NG dozens of times, it would be difficult to complete this classic of her girlhood. One of the shots.


    Unexpectedly, she had grasped Matilda¡¯s despair and pain after only NG less than ten times. Perhaps she was born for Matilda, or Matilda was born because of her. To become a classic.


    In terms of acting alone, I am indeed slightly better now, but what about in a few years? Ryan is very clear that without the accumulation of the previous life, without the blessing of a certain great **** during the rebirth in this life, he and she are not at the same level.


    There is a saying in the previous life "Social Network", "Harvard University has produced 15 Pulitzer Prize winners, 2 Olympians, and a movie star."


    This movie star is naturally Natalie Portman. Frankly speaking, her life is a game of constantly fighting monsters and upgrading. A movie is famous all over the world...


    The person in his previous life had been skeptical for a while, and Natalie must have gotten an invincible gold finger before she left this copy of her life, and her career, academic love, and love...


    Well, if there is a chance in the future, I will pour the Frenchman into a concrete pier and throw it into the mouth of the Hudson River! Ryan said in his heart.


    ...The recent crackdown, everyone knows that there are too many blocked things, and it is difficult for me to find them one by one...please recommend...please collect

 Chapter 122： Back to back

    A crisp bell rang. In the cool sea breeze, two bicycles drove by the quiet side road and galloped towards the lighthouse at the end of the road. A teenager and a young girl showed brilliant smiles, shouting and whispering from time to time, as if The world has become so wonderful because of them.


    There are very few pedestrians here. As long as the shooting ends early in the last few days, Ryan and Natalie will ride bicycles to the beach here.


    "Ryan, don''t ride so fast, wait for me a while! Don''t you know that ladies are first?" Natalie, who is behind, is screaming and drinking. She will show her naughty side only when the two of them are alone.


    "Hey, Nat, you said you want to play with me. If you lose, you still have to learn how to bark! Today I will win!" Ryan was not fooled.


    "Ryan Jenkins, you''re a narrow-minded, no gentleman, wait and see me catch up with you!" Natalie was very unconvinced, she didn''t want to be like a dog barking in front of this guy, and kicked tightly. A few pedals, gradually narrowing the distance.


    "Nate, stop struggling, give up! There is a maximum of 200 meters, I will win!"


    Despite the wobbly cycling, Ryan is not only a boy, he is also one year older, and easily opened the distance between the two.


    "Ahhh~ Ryan, wait, I will beat you sooner or later, in all respects!" Natalie shouted through gritted teeth.


    Ryan didn''t care about the indignation coming from behind. He waited for Natalie to learn how to bark a puppy, stomped on the foot, and arrived below the lighthouse in a short time.


    "Wow, I won! I won!"


    After a good bike, Ryan jumped up happily, looking very triumphant with that triumphant look.


    "If you win, you win, do you need to yell?"


    Natalie finally rushed over, put the car away, pointed at Ryan with her nostrils, obviously wanting to go back on the bill.


    "Don''t forget, Nat, those who lose have to learn how to bark." Ryan stretched out three fingers and dangling in front of Natalie, "It''s three beeps, three puppies barking!"


    "I...well, I''m tired and need a rest." Natalie rolled her eyes and walked towards the beach under the lighthouse.


    "Wait...wait." Ryan chased after him, "Dear Nat, don''t you want to regret it?"


    "Repentance is a woman''s privilege!"


    "You''re just a girl, not a woman yet!" Ryan won''t let her go easily, "No word..."


    "Well, Ryan. I will remember today!" Natalie opened her eyes.


    Ryan shrugged indifferently, and made a graceful gesture of please, but three fingers were always standing in front of Natalie.


    "Wow~" Natalie''s voice is not much louder than a mosquito hum.


    "Stop! Nat, it doesn''t count, I didn''t hear it."


    "Wow~Wow~Wow~"


    Natalie gritted her teeth and shouted three times, then turned her head and left.


    "Wow¡­"


    Ryan laughed excitedly, Natalie wrinkled her nose, that guy was so annoying, she was really dizzy, why did she propose such a game content?


    That guy is obviously crooked when riding a bicycle, and he will fall at any time. Why does he win?


    Wait, Ryan Jenkins, sooner or later I will get back the interest! Natalie clenched her fists and sat on the beach.


    "Hey, Nat..."


    "Ryan Jenkins!" Obviously, Natalie''s anger bar is already full, and it seems that a fatal blow will be launched in the next moment.


    "Okay, Nat, it''s just a joke." Ryan sat beside her, "Let''s sit here for a while, enjoying the sea view and cultivating sentiment..."


    "Ryan!"


    "Ok¡­"


    The two sat back to back on the beach like this, chatting from time to time, sometimes keeping silent with great understanding, and then turning their heads in unison. When their eyes collided, they would smile knowingly. , Stared at each other stupidly for a while, then turned his head again.


    "Ryan, why do I always feel that I have known you for more than two years?" Natalie finally asked the question that had been held in her heart for a long time.


    "I feel that way too!" Ryan turned around and sat side by side with Natalie, "I always feel like we are old friends who have known each other for decades."


    "Yeah!" Natalie also nodded, "You know what I like and what I don''t like. Whenever I am hungry, the food you deliver to me is always my favorite food. When I was thirsty, the one I passed over was my favorite drink!"


    "Want to know the reason, Nat!"


    "of course!"


    "It''s very simple, because you were my favorite star in your last life. I have collected all your information and know your personality, your hobbies, and your family." Ryan''s face clearly wrote that I was editing story.


    "Ryan, I''m not Paris who I just met a few days ago, nor is I innocent Scarlett, don''t use such words to prevaricate me!" Natalie wrinkled her nose, obviously a little dissatisfied.


    "Then let me think about how this story should continue..."


    "Well, Ryan, I admit that you are a master at making stories, so just tell me, who was I in my previous life?" Natalie simply listened to it as a story.


    "Superstar, top student, one of the representative figures of Hollywood post-80s female stars, Oscar queen." Ryan thought for a while before giving this answer.


    Natalie simply turned her head, and looked up and down the young boy, seemingly trying to find out which nerve he got wrong.


    "The more you make up, the more ridiculous!" This is Natalie''s final evaluation.


    The sun slowly sank into the horizon, and the two people sat quietly together, watching the vast sea surface silently, the refreshing sea breeze blowing by, the light brown hair and the dark brown hair were intertwined and entangled in one place. Not out of each other.


    The sky gradually dimmed, stars hanging in the sky, Ryan and Natalie did not intend to leave, the law and order in Long Island was pretty good, and George stayed not far away, so there was no need to worry about anything.


    "Ryan, which city is your favorite in America, where do you want to live when you grow up?" Natalie raised her arm and smoothed her hair slowly.


    "Los Angeles." I can''t talk about whether I like it or not. After living there for so many years, Ryan has gotten used to it, "Beverly Hills or Malibu are good, what about you, Nat?"


    "I don''t know, maybe in New York, maybe go to Jerusalem..."


    "Why not come to Los Angeles?" Ryan interrupted her, "The West Coast is actually very good."


    "Then why go to Los Angeles?" Natalie turned her head and looked over. "Dad always wanted to go back to Jerusalem."


    "Because Hollywood is in Los Angeles." What Ryan said was of course geographical.


    "Then let''s wait until we grow up."


    Natalie rolled her eyes and asked, "Ryan, maybe you can apply to universities on the East Coast in the future and we can be alumni."


    "Why didn''t you apply to a university on the West Coast?" Ryan asked, "Stanford University is as good as the University of California. Haven''t you been reading books on directors recently? Why not apply to the Film School of the University of Southern California?"


    "I will consider it, but this is only the last choice." Natalie rolled her eyes, obviously not taking Ryan''s words to heart, "You haven''t answered my question yet."


    "Who knows, maybe I won''t apply to college." Ryan shrugged indifferently.


    "Why?" Natalie was obviously puzzled, but Ryan made a gesture that you understood, "My time is very tight."


    "Will Nicole agree?"


    "It should be, after all, she also dropped out of high school and entered the acting school."


    After listening to Ryan, Natalie didn¡¯t say anything. She had her own goals, but she couldn¡¯t force her friends. Ryan laughed, ¡°When I was sixteen, I would try to apply to the California Academy of Art or the University of Southern California. Film Academy, if they can make an exception and admit me, I don¡¯t mind..."


    "They will definitely not make an exception, because American universities will not admit a fool." Natalie smiled brightly.


    "Really, won''t you admit a idiot named Natalie?" Ryan retorted and exchanged for a pair of big white eyes.


    "I''m tired, let me lean on it for a while."


    Natalie changed positions, turned back to back with Ryan again, moved her body to find the most comfortable position, put the back of her head on Ryan''s generous back, and looked up at the brighter and brighter one. star.


    "What are you looking at, Nat? Are you looking for the Zenith Star?" Ryan teased.


    "Come on, UU reading Ryan, I''m not as boring as you."


    Others don''t know, Natalie naturally knows how strange and incomprehensible the article that was praised by book critics is.


    Putting her hands around her knees, Natalie turned her head and slanted her eyes. She just saw Ryan¡¯s smiling blue eyes and raised her eyebrows. Even if she didn¡¯t speak, she could make a look with her expression. Aggressive look.


    Ryan also hugged her knees into her hands, winked her eyes at the girl who had entered the rebellious period, and showed a hearty smile.


    Natalie''s cockfighting appearance disappeared in an instant, and she also laughed. The two were like a pair of fools, looking at each other and smiling, without saying a word.


    Until a long time later, this awkward posture made the two feel tired, and they turned their heads back.


    "Ryan, when we grow up, will we be as good as we are now?" Natalie asked suddenly.


    "Of course, Nat." Ryan replied firmly.


    "If..." Natalie turned her eyes, wondering what she was thinking, "If you have a girlfriend in the future, she won''t let you continue dating with me, what should I do?"


    "I will kick her." Ryan was only joking.


    "Really?" Natalie looked back, Ryan pretended to be vowed, "I promise!"


    "Well, I will remember your words."


    Remember my words? Ryan realized that the other party didn''t seem to be joking...

 Chapter 123： Propaganda song

    Although for Hollywood and Americans, Luc Besson can only be regarded as a new director, but there is no doubt that he already has the level of quasi-master level, even as a Frenchman, it is inevitable that some are too romantic. , But Matilda has a good grasp of Leon''s feelings.


    In particular, after he realized that complete indecent love could not bring more benefits to the movie and himself in North America, the businessman''s side overwhelmed the director''s side and put Matilda and Leon between. The dim love and the friendship of life and death are almost impeccable.


    After watching a few episodes of Natalie and Jean Renault''s rivalry, Ryan was completely relieved. The most sensitive part of the film was modified a lot by him and Luc Besson. Even after it was released, it would still cause conservatives. Attacks, however, will not be criticized by all the mainstream media as they were in the previous life.


    After several weeks of shooting, Natalie, Jean Reynolds, and Gary Oldman are getting better and better, which obviously drove the enthusiasm of the crew, improved the pass rate of the shots, and gradually surpassed Luc. ¡¤ Besson¡¯s plan is likely to be closed in advance.


    Of course, there are also a lot of troubles. For example, if you need to close the streets to shoot, you have to face the constant chatter and constant urging of New York City government officials. After all, this is an international metropolis with people coming and going, such as borrowing from Brooklyn. When the police station was shooting only a few short shots, for some unknown reason, he was blasted out, so he had to temporarily contact another police station.


    The biggest troubles to the crew are the reporters and paparazzi who often haunt. Different from the previous life, because of Ryan, the crew has been the focus of many media''s attention from the start, and there are even reporters who use a telephoto lens from a very I took a picture of Natalie in the distance, but it was a little blurry, so it won''t cause too much trouble for the girl for the time being.


    "Boom~"


    The fire was surging at the entrance of the apartment building and the explosion sounded. The firefighters were already ready to go. After seeing the gestures made by the scene, they rushed into the cave in an orderly manner. They didn''t wait for the fire extinguisher in their hands to activate. The fireball has been automatically extinguished.


    Now shooting at the end of the movie, Leon fought dozens of special police alone. From the lens, the momentum was amazing, but it was just a few small fireballs, but a lot of smoke was produced.


    "Oh~ it''s so hot!"


    Ryan took off the special police mask and kept fanning the wind with his hands. He played a cameo role here. To be precise, he acted as a humanoid prop. After all, he was just a special police officer wearing a mask and standing with a gun.


    "Ice cream, cream or fruit?" Natalie walked over with two ice creams.


    "Fruit!" Ryan saw the ice cream handed over. Not only did he know Natalie, but now Natalie is not familiar with him, "Thank you, I like the strawberry flavor the most."


    "Really?" Natalie smiled happily, her little tongue licked the cream on top of the ice cream deftly.


    Ryan''s mouth trembled, and she seemed to be a little dumbfounded. At this moment, Jinsli came over and said, "Ryan, time is almost up, we should start."


    "Then... well, goodbye, Nat."


    Back to the locker room, Ryan quickly changed back to his clothes, circled with Jinsli, made sure there was no tail behind, and then walked into a coffee shop.


    The two middle-aged men had already waited in a quiet partition. This meeting was arranged temporarily. Ryan remembered the news that Jinsli had told him in the morning, but he still couldn''t believe it.


    The taller and thinner is called Matt Drizzt, and the slightly fatter is called David Drex. These two people, Ryan, don¡¯t know each other. The reason why he was a little surprised was that they were 1994. An important member of the United States World Cup Organizing Committee!


    The two sides greeted each other and introduced themselves. After asking for a coffee drink, they immediately moved on to the topic.


    "Ryan, we watched your singing in the NBA Finals, it was wonderful." Tracy said very meaningfully.


    "Thank you!"


    Ryan''s mouth trembled. After that performance, Jinsli received a protest call from the NBA. Although the other party''s words were not fierce, it was clear that he was on the NBA''s blacklist.


    "You...like football?" Drex asked tentatively.


    "It''s okay, I''m a fan, sometimes I look at the European leagues." Lie or something, Ryan never has to draft, he is not very interested in football in this era, "It''s just a pity, it''s difficult in the United States. I saw a high-level game on the spot."


    "There will be a chance in two years, the 15th World Cup!"


    "Oh, I know, the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles is being remodeled. It is said that the final will be held there?" Ryan asked.


    "Yes." Matt Drizzt was obviously the main one of the two, and he took the conversation. "Yes, Ryan, the organizing committee would like to invite you to write a song about football and the World Cup. song."


    "Me?" Ryan laughed, "The theme song?"


    "This..." Drizzt hesitated and said, "No, it''s a promotional song."


    Ryan nodded and understood. It should be FIFA that can decide the theme song of the World Cup. The United States Organizing Committee should be the propaganda song.


    He was a football fan in his previous life. Naturally, he remembered that the theme song of this World Cup was "Glory Land", but this song was not widely sung. Instead, it was Maria Kelly''s "Hero" released in 1993. classic.


    This situation is a bit like "Do you mind if I play football" and "Cup of Life" in 1998.


    "Ryan, we have heard of your album. The "Climb", "My Life" and "I Believe I Can Fly" are all fast-paced and inspirational songs, which are very suitable for sports." Drizzt Let¡¯s talk freely, ¡°Although the World Cup is a hot spot in the world, there are few people in the United States, especially teenagers. They all focus on rugby and baseball, and there are too few people interested in football..."


    Listening to the other party''s words, Ryan smiled more brilliantly. After all, after living in North America for so long, it is natural to know that this is an out-and-out football desert. Perhaps when the World Cup is held, there will be no shortage of spectators, but the local spectators may be extremely limited.


    These guys found themselves not only for his talent in music, but also for his positive inspirational plot in his songs, and also for his huge influence among teenagers in the United States.


    Think about it, when someone who is known as a national youth model playing football and singing catchy football songs will definitely arouse the attention of young people and make them pay more attention and attention. In the great event of the 1994 World Cup.


    "Well, I agree." Ryan decides whether to be original or plagiarism based on whether there is enough time, "Time? When will the song be released?"


    "It depends on our negotiation with FIFA. Our work here has been questioned." Obviously, their promotion work is not smooth. After all, football desert is not that simple to talk about. "The organizing committee also invited With Maria Kelly, if you can, I will meet in Los Angeles next month. You can talk..."


    That beautiful flower butterfly? Ryan squeezed his chin, and time was a little tight. It was a good opportunity for Jinsili to negotiate with them. This was a good opportunity to promote himself.


    His current influence is more in the United Kingdom and the United States, and furthermore, that is the English-speaking area.


    Football is considered to be a sport that has not received much attention in the United States, but it is truly the number one sport in the world, and the World Cup has an unparalleled influence.


    In previous lives, how many singers used the influence of the World Cup to make themselves popular all over the world, Ricky Martin, Anastasia, Shakira...


    Especially Shakira, with the help of football, spread his reputation all over the world.


    As for Ricky Martin, from a Latin singer to a world-class superstar!


    After discussing some more details, the double hair can be regarded as a verbal agreement. This kind of mutual benefit, whether it is Ryan or Drizzt and Drex on behalf of the organizing committee, is obviously more satisfied.


    Sending off the two, Ryan sat quietly at the coffee table, Jinsli watched him lost in thought, and stopped making a sound.


    Ryan needs a song, a powerful and catchy song, a song that can be quickly sung to every corner of the world once it is promoted by the World Cup Organizing Committee and FIFA.


    Original? Forget it, as for plagiarism... Even after entering 2010, the most popular football songs in the past life are still "We Are Champions" and "Cup of Life".


    "We are the Champions" Queen Band has long launched Naturally it is not among the choices, "Cup of Life" is very classic, if any song in the previous life has been achieved, most people can scream. , Neither the Internationale nor "Yesterday Reappears", even "My Heart Eternal" did not achieve this.


    But the lyrics in "The Cup of Life" made countless people shout out, ¡®GO!go!goal!Ale, ale, ale~¡¯


    Do you want to get this song out? This is a Latin song. In the United States, Latin is more discriminated against than black people...


    Ryan hesitated. After all, the title of a national youth role model has gradually become established. While it has brought great influence, some things must be done with consequences.


    The kind of wanton and reckless people who do not follow the rules of the game in the legend will only be marginalized. There will be no exception in any part of the world. Even if the classmates of the previous life, you still need to be cautious in certain things.


    However, this is a rare opportunity. As long as the song is good enough and FIFA is a super corrupt organization to help promote it, even in remote Africa, you might know the name Ryan Jenkins.


    Knocking on the table with his knuckles, Ryan looked for the memory of "Cup of Life" in his mind. With this song, Ricky Martin seemed to have only obtained a comforting best in the 99 years of Grammys. Latin Performance Award...


    Grammy? Ryan suddenly remembered the opening repertoire of the 1999 Grammys, and settled down. Because of its musical style, Ryan doesn¡¯t have to think about becoming the theme song of the U.S. World Cup, but as a promotional song, the problem shouldn¡¯t be too big. .

 Chapter 124： In miami

    Miami, a famous tourist destination, is famous for its beaches, sunshine, islands, and the famous sea bridge. After entering June, with the official announcement of the opening of the "True Lies" crew, it became entertainment The focus of the circle, even the blockbuster films that were released in the summer, can only pale in comparison.


    The reason is simple. The investment in this movie broke the record of "Terminator 2" and reached an unprecedented 130 million. This is a real dollar, not Italian lira or Spanish peseta.


    In the early 1990s, this number was indeed amazing. Even a movie giant like 20th Century Fox could not afford it alone. They brought in Paramount Pictures to share the huge investment.


    The cast is luxurious. The script is written by Ryan Jenkins. James Cameron, who has established the status of a master, is in charge of the tube. The action superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the leading role and the screaming queen Jamie Lee Curtis takes the role of the heroine, and the former husband and wife group Anne Hurd and James Cameron once again acted as producer.


    Unprecedented investment, luxurious production lineup, and the crazy hype of the two major film companies since the establishment of the project, it is difficult not to attract people''s attention.


    Before entering July, Ryan left New York by plane and came to this famous coastal city.


    "Hi, Jim, Arnold, it''s been a long time since I saw you."


    Ryan greeted two acquaintances and quickly glanced at the set. Many people knew each other, either being an important member of the Cameron team, or a famous actor or producer.


    For example, the screaming queen Jamie Lee Curtis, this movie in the previous life can be called her pinnacle work, especially the dance, absolutely stunning.


    There are also Grant Hill, the production manager of Twentieth Century Fox, and Anne Hurd, James Cameron¡¯s ex-wife...No, it should be said that she is an ex-wife. At the end of last year, Cameron and Catherine Bilogue Formally divorced, and Linda Hamilton publicly fucked.


    However, to Ryan¡¯s surprise, this guy is obviously very good at women. Not only has he maintained a friend relationship with Anne Hurd, even the raped Catherine Biroge has no complaints. It is said that he still has a relationship with Anne Hurd. The bearded man keeps his contacts.


    In addition to his strange aesthetics that makes people unable to compliment, Ryan still admires this guy''s methods very much. If you want to ask him for advice?


    This is a temporary studio. The model of the Sea Harrier in the middle is very conspicuous. This is a real model made on a one-to-one scale.


    "Hello, Ryan, I''m Catherine Isabel. Nice to meet you."


    Under the leadership of an agent, a little brown-haired girl came to him and introduced herself.


    "Hello, Miss Isabel."


    Since the Brad Pitt recommended by him has become so popular, more and more actors have started to lean towards him in recent times. Ryan knows that this is the norm in the circle, and there is nothing to do. George will stop everyone.


    "Ryan, just call me Kate."


    The little girl took out the signature book and fountain pen as if she had turned into magic, and handed it over.


    I sighed, the little girl thinks so much now? Ryan finished writing the greetings, returned the notebook, and asked casually, "Kate, which role did you play?"


    "Huh?" Catherine Isabel was taken aback, and then said, "Dana, Mr. Schwarzenegger''s daughter."


    "Dana?" Ryan glanced at her, um...a little sympathy.


    This female character has few roles, but it is very important, especially when there are many action scenes. With James Cameron''s character, she will definitely not use a substitute. Then she will play in person, and bumps will definitely be indispensable.


    Thinking of his treatment when he appeared in "Terminator 2", Ryan shook his head. She was a man with agility and suffered a lot of minor injuries. This girl...


    "Well, Kate, I''m waiting to see your wonderful performance." Ryan planned to leave.


    "Really? I will definitely work hard." The little girl was obviously excited.


    Unconsciously, many people have changed their lives because of me! Ryan sighed with emotion. He remembered it very clearly. In the previous life, Alisha Dushku, a famous child star in Hollywood, played the role of Dana, but now it is replaced by this little girl named Catherine Isabel, which is really interesting.


    "True Lies" is the beginning of China''s import of Hollywood blockbusters. It is a landmark film on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Ryan still remembers that he didn''t have much interest in movies at the beginning of his previous life, especially those Weiguangzheng films watched by the school. Sometimes I feel nauseous.


    Later, by chance, he saw "True Lies", just like most Chinese at that time, it can only be described in two words-shock!


    It turns out that the movie can still be shot like this. It turns out that the protagonist in the movie is not only a magnificent person, but also a sinister side. It turns out that the Arab brothers are often linked to terrorism. Fashion beauty.


    This movie had a profound impact on him in his previous life. Since then, he has also learned that there is a place in the world called Hollywood!


    In addition to chatting with a few acquaintances and **** relations, Ryan mostly watched and filmed in silence. Although the script was written by him, James Cameron had long been granted permission to change the script. Most of the people here are busy, like There are really few idlers like him.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    "Hello, Shirley." Ryan stood up from his seat and shook hands with the middle-aged woman who came over.


    "I haven''t seen you for half a year, you are so tall." Shirley Lansing sighed. If you don''t look at the other''s childish face and judge your age only by talking, most people in the circle will probably Treat him as an adult.


    This woman is a veritable strong woman. Ryan remembers clearly that, as long as there is no big accident, Shirley Lansing will become the head of Paramount Pictures in the next ten years. One of the most powerful women in Hollywood.


    The two chatted a few words, and the topic quickly turned to the movie side.


    "Nowadays, film investment is getting bigger and bigger. Once there is an accident, the production company will inevitably get hurt. Cooperative investment will become a trend." Shirley Lansing''s words obviously have other meanings, "There are also theaters, The number of movie theaters will have a decisive impact on profitability."


    "That''s right!" Ryan nodded in agreement, with a vague meaning in his words, "Benefit sharing can reduce investment risks."


    Shirley Lansing also laughed. He is not old, but he is as smart as the rumors, "Ryan, Mr. Redstone asked me to bring greetings. In the future Viacom can become your partner. If Jenkins If the film industry has a demand for theaters, it can speak up."


    Americans don¡¯t pay attention to implicitness. The exchange of interests is the exchange of interests. There is nothing bad to say. Viacom is an out-and-out media giant. It is not inferior to News Corporation. Obviously, they intend to be in the movie. Karma got a kick.


    "Definitely." Ryan thought slightly and asked directly, "I heard that Mr. Summer Redstone intends to acquire Paramount?"


    This sentence is pretending to be confused. The well-informed people in the circle have long known that Viacom is constantly raising funds and is preparing to forcibly acquire Paramount Pictures. It faces a strong competitor.


    "I don''t think it''s a secret, is it?" Shirley Lansing said with a smile.


    As long as the energy of the work continues to generate benefits, more and more film companies will show him good news. After all, major film companies know that Jenkins Pictures is an empty shell, and Ryan Jenkins¡¯ ambitions are not on it. They don''t have too many conflicts of interest, and they can be human at a young age and know how to balance their interests.


    They can''t get along with anyone, and they won''t get along with the green bills.


    "Shirley, I heard that Paramount is exploring the Chinese market?" After chatting about "True Lies", Ryan changed the subject.


    "Yes." This is not a secret. It is not just the Paramount family who want to open up that market. "Actually, we are trying to establish an office in Beijing through the relationship in Hong Kong."


    Shirley Lansing asked curiously, "Are you interested in China?"


    "Actually, when I was in Norton Welfare Institute, I followed a few Chinese to study the language there. In recent years, if I have time, I will also study their culture." Ryan panicked casually, "Shirley, help. Is it okay to be a little busy? Let the staff over there, UU Reading mail some Chinese entertainment magazines every month, preferably with national influence."


    "No problem." Shirley Lansing agreed directly, not even a small trouble.


    "China? When did you become interested in China?"


    Probably the filming of the crew has come to an end, James Cameron and Grant Hill walked over, "Well, I know you understand Chinese, but what do you want Chinese entertainment magazines for? Do you want to go there for development?"


    Ryan curled his lips and went there to develop. What''s the joke? The entertainment industry over there is a darker existence than Hollywood.


    "It''s nothing, I just think the Chinese market has huge potential, and I want to understand the entertainment dynamics over there." Ryan casually found a reason.


    "Appreciate further details."


    It must be James Cameron, who can say such things, who always likes to make things difficult for him.


    Ryan tapped his fingers lightly, organized the language roughly, and said, "Jim, since the opening of the Eastern European market, our movies have grown a lot in the global box office. Many movies have exceeded the North American box office. Do you know how many people there are in Eastern Europe and how many people there are in China? China has a population of more than one billion or more. What a huge market that is. Indeed, their current movie market is immature and lacks enough audiences, but The market has been cultivated, and we can fully cooperate with them and use sufficiently good movies to cultivate that market to maturity."


    ...The unit is out of water and electricity and the internet, I don¡¯t know who is starting the battle... Go home at noon and upload it, two chapters at a time...

 Chapter 125： Madman acted as madman

    In fact, the people in this room have some understanding of these things Ryan said. Maybe James Cameron will not care about it. After all, he is a pure director and producer, Shirley Lansing and Shirley Lansing. Grant Hill is the manager of each company, so how could he not understand the market dynamics.


    However, he has been working on the movie theater line in his previous life. As far as his understanding of the Chinese film market is concerned, Ryan can get rid of them.


    "But they are still poor and backward..."


    Ryan interrupted Grant Hill directly with a wave of his hand, "Yes, they are still a bit behind now, but have you ever thought about Grant? They only started to develop in the early 1980s, and what they have become now? They created Economic miracle. In the next few years, their development speed will be faster. With money, they naturally need entertainment. You should have seen the Chinese movies introduced by Miramax to North America. You think they can compete with us. Do you think the vast majority of viewers like to watch that dull movie?"


    Shirley Lansing and Grant Hill smiled. As professionals who are interested in exploring the Chinese market, they have naturally watched a few movies from China. Frankly speaking, they learned European style. As for European movies? The entire European market is about to be captured by Hollywood productions.


    However, Ryan did not let them go, and then said, "Think about it, a market of more than one billion people, as long as they can have 1% of people to buy tickets, what a huge number!"


    For a while, Shirley Lansing and Grant Hill were in deep thought. The future that Ryan described was too attractive. Who wouldn''t want to open that market?


    "So!" Ryan twisted his knuckles and gently tapped the armrest of the chair. "In our movies, we try to avoid Chinese as villains. If there must be an Asian villain, you can choose the best military power in the universe. With his fat marshal!"


    Probably it¡¯s usually a habit of joking. Ryan said the words without knowing his brain. Several people were confused. They could understand that in order to prevent movies from appearing as villains in the Chinese market, just like Hollywood for the Japanese and Korean markets, but the universe What is the first military power? And the fat marshal?


    Fortunately, Ryan immediately understood that he had missed his words and explained, "North Korea!"


    Slowly tapping his fingers, Ryan recalled some situations in his previous life. There is no doubt that the boss of the Chinese movie is a mountain eagle. I don¡¯t know if he is a bearer now. If Paramount finds the right way, he said Hollywood blockbusters are not allowed to enter China in advance.


    sighed softly, he couldn''t remember it anymore.


    Speaking of it, I''ve been so long-winded, but I just want to let the filmmakers over there expand their horizons in advance. Hollywood movies are inevitable to enter the mainland. If you can open your eyes earlier, don''t hold them all day. If you keep things in Europe, Chinese films may have a different future.


    In any case, he was also a member of this industry in his previous life. Although he is at the bottom, he sincerely hopes that there will be an Oriental Hollywood, even if he understands that it is an unattainable fantasy.


    But after all, the other side of the Pacific Ocean has a deep cultural heritage. As long as those people understand what the audience wants to see earlier, they may not be able to resist the big Hollywood productions, unlike the previous life, when Hollywood blockbusters are released. Domestic films have retreated one after another.


    The commercialization of art is like the commercialization of professional sports. It is inevitable. Only by heading up can the gap be narrowed. Ryan couldn''t help but think of the''DOG.MA95'' manifesto that the film circle of the past life was a treasure. He wanted to ask those questions. People, do you make movies for yourself? Or show it to the audience?


    As for the ¡®DOG.MA95¡¯ declaration, what is that...


    The chaos-free past life is still in this life. Ryan grew up in a cold and indifferent atmosphere. He was accustomed to the dark side of society. He never thought of how noble he was. In addition to considering the people around him, Ryan was more often than not. The word profit takes the lead.


    Doing this is just a wake-up call for the other side. Regardless of whether this approach is right or wrong, useful or useless, it can be regarded as an explanation for the souls from the other side.


    Of course, that''s all, he is not so stupid that he can''t distinguish his identity.


    After all, he is just a kid, and his identity has already determined his position. If some people don''t work hard, then don''t complain about the market and the audience.


    I just need to know what I am doing and what I care about, that''s enough! Ryan sighed in his heart, aside from the change of identity, he only cared about one person in the previous life, but temporarily had two in this life, Nicole is one, and Natalie can barely be considered the other.


    The filming of "True Lies" continues. James Cameron is notoriously slow and meticulous. Although the surrounding media reporters have harassed him, his tyrant''s name spread after "Terminator 2". Inside and outside the circle, under nearly strict regulations, no one dared to break the news to the media easily.


    A few days later, there was good news from the personnel responsible for communicating with the Pentagon. The military will provide three ¡®Sea Harrier¡¯ fighters for the movie, but the cost of appearance is high, and each plane has to be paid as much as $100,000.


    The sea breeze was rustling, the voices of people on the "Seven Mile" Bridge, which used to be empty in the past, were boiling, and the equipment trailers of the crew and the helicopters used for filming were all parked nearby.


    It is impossible for the crew to shoot on the sea-crossing bridge where cars pass by. They can only requisition this abandoned "Seven Mile" bridge. James Cameron is not ashamed to point out his talent for burning money, and not only rented a few. The helicopter also temporarily repaired the gap that was deliberately blown out by the bridge.


    "Ryan, are you interested in being my assistant?" In the middle of the crowd, James Cameron took a picture of the camera next to him, as if he was going to go to battle himself.


    "No problem." Ryan feels no big deal as a temporary assistant anyway.


    "Jim~Jim~"


    Jamie Lee Curtis, who had finished putting on makeup, walked over in a hurry, still a little excited, "Don''t use a substitute? You mean let me go to the battle myself..."


    Listening to the words of Jamie Lee Curtis, Ryan roughly understood what was going on. The next thing to film is Schwarzenegger grabbing Jamie Lee Curtis from the helicopter and out of danger. In the scene and flying above the sea, Schwarzenegger''s role is naturally completed by a stand-in, but in order to enhance the sense of reality, Cameron asked Curtis to play in person.


    This... is crazy. Jamie Lee Curtis is one of Hollywood''s most popular actresses. She can refuse James Cameron''s request.


    However, something unexpected happened.


    Jamie Lee Curtis pointed to his chin and asked James Cameron, "What are you going to do when I''m hanging in the air?"


    "I will stick out of the cabin and take a picture of you with a handheld camera!" As if to strengthen his tone, Cameron also took a picture of the camera next to him.


    Obviously, this sentence was beyond everyone''s expectations. Jamie Lee Curtis was taken aback and confirmed, "Really?"


    "Really!" Cameron pointed to me in order to strengthen his persuasive power. "Jamie, Ryan will act as my assistant. You should be satisfied?"


    "Okay! I did it!"


    Jamie Lee Curtis agreed without hesitation.


    "Wait...wait..." Ryan reacted, as if he was forcibly pulled into the thief boat by James Cameron.


    "Hey, Ryan, are you going to regret it?" Cameron blocked it.


    regret it? I don¡¯t even know if I want to take a helicopter to shoot, okay? Ryan understood. He usually digs pits by himself and waits for others to jump. Today, Cameron digs a pit and waits for him to jump down. However, he jumped stupidly.


    Although he has not consciously stayed away from possible dangers since his rebirth, he still disdains such things in public. After talking with another Cameron security assistant, he changed into his safety clothes and talked to the man carrying the camera. Bearded on the helicopter.


    "Check the seat belt!" the pilot reminded loudly.


    "No problem!" Ryan gave a thumbs up to the front, and made an OK gesture to George below.


    The sound of the propeller hummed, and the whistling wind raged everywhere. Ryan looked out the window and saw the plane slowly lifted off the ground, rising towards the sky.


    "Get ready! Get ready!"


    The security assistant used a loudspeaker to alert the stuntman and Jamie Lee Curtis under the plane.


    "Ah~"


    When the helicopter flew out of the bridge and came to the top of the sea, the iconic cry of the Screaming Queen reached Ryan''s ears. He deflected his body and looked down.


    Jamie Lee Curtis is like a human-shaped gourd, hung under the helicopter At this time, there is no need for acting. The strong wind brought by the propeller and the blowing sea water keep falling. In her body, even though she has been shooting horror movies for a long time, she screamed in panic inevitably.


    "Left! Left!"


    James Cameron asked every detail to the extreme, constantly reminding the pilot to fine-tune the direction so that he can get the best shooting angle.


    "Ryan, do you want to try?"


    Amid the buzzing noise, James Cameron¡¯s abusive voice came over, and Ryan refused without thinking, ¡°I¡¯ll be your assistant.¡±


    Then, I added from the bottom of my heart, I''ll just use soy sauce, and you should do the dangerous things.


    "OK! That''s it, keep flying now!"


    To some extent, some film actors and directors are crazy, such as the two Ryan met today.


    James Cameron quickly adjusted his seat belts and leaned most of his body out of the cabin. While carrying the camera in one hand, he kept gesturing to Jamie Lee Curtis with the other hand to remind Attention, she will start shooting soon.


    It¡¯s just a camera without life! Ryan''s eyes widened. If it weren''t for those seat belts, Cameron would have landed on the plane 200% and fell into the ocean.


    In order to prevent any accidents, Ryan and the safety assistant grabbed the buckle on Cameron''s safety suit. If there is an accident, they might as well give this guy a hand.


    This... is really lunatic acting, lunatic shooting, and an industry that countless lunatics are waiting for!

 Chapter 126： toss

    Although many people criticize Hollywood¡¯s star drunk fans, they cannot deny the other side of most of them. They want to become popular, want to be the envy of everyone, and want their career to remain brilliant. It requires more than just opportunities and not desperate. If you don''t work hard, everything is just in the mirror.


    Even if Jamie Lee Curtis was born in an acting family and has been famous for many years, he still understands the importance of this big production to his acting career. This screaming queen who made a name for shooting horror films in the United States did desperately. .


    The helicopter landed on the bridge. When Ryan walked down, Jamie Lee Curtis was already sitting in the lounge chair with the assistance of his assistant, but his face was pale without a trace of blood, two battles, for a moment. Can''t stop.


    This road is not so easy! Behind the brilliance is not only darkness, but also countless sweat! Ryan shook his head lightly and went to Cameron''s side.


    Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, James Cameron announced a frustrating news, "The shots I just shot had a lot of problems, especially Jamie, you were so alarmed!"


    Panic! Can you not panic? Ryan cast his mouth quietly, changing that he would panic in that situation, let alone a woman.


    "Jamie..." Although James Cameron is a tyrant on the set, he hesitated a bit before he was inhumane in order to shoot.


    "I''m fine! Take a break and come back!" Despite the two battles, Jamie Lee Curtis said this sentence.


    Half an hour later, the helicopter flew into the sky again. Although I admired the courage of the Screaming Queen, Ryan remained obediently on the ground.


    Looking at the past from another perspective, it¡¯s even more thrilling. Even if you know that Jamie Lee Curtis has several safety measures, it still makes people worry about it. To put it an exaggeration, she and Cameron are here. Desperately.


    "Wow~"


    When the helicopter landed safely, hundreds of crew members applauded, and some people continued to scream congratulations. All the voices had nothing to do with James Cameron. They used this way to address the brave woman. pay tribute.


    The shooting speed of James Cameron can only be described as tortoise speed. It is very common to take a shot more than ten or twenty times. Even shots with dozens of NG shots will occasionally appear.


    With the success of "Terminator 2", this guy has burned money to burn his experience, and all kinds of budgets have been spent. Fortunately, both Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox have clearly stated that the investment in this movie is only For 130 million U.S. dollars, a penny over the budget, Cameron had to pay for it.


    Strictly speaking, this film can be regarded as a publicity for the government of the United States. The Pentagon has given the green light in many places and has given a lot of support in armaments.


    Especially in the scene where the Sea Harrier fighters bombed the cross-sea bridge, the military actually launched two Mavericks missiles, although they were two that would not explode!


    Ryan stood in the distance and saw this scene through a telescope. He couldn''t help but cried out. He has been a human for two lives. This is the first time he has witnessed the launch of a missile. It is really shocking!


    The first filming of the movie is the hot scene at the end. Various big scenes emerge one after another. The temporary studio is exposed to a lot of fireworks every day. The explosion flames and the smoke from the AK-47 launch almost surround the set.


    It¡¯s not just grown-up actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis who are going to be tested in the action scenes. Soon, it¡¯s the turn of Catherine Isabel who plays Dana.


    She would occasionally approach Ryan. It didn¡¯t take long for the unscrupulous young man to figure out her old bottom, and originally thought she was an Englishman. Kate in England is as many as Jessica in the United States¡ªwho I knew it was a Canadian. Although I got the role through auditions, it was introduced by Cameron¡¯s acquaintances.


    are also teenage girls. Catherine Isabel has a bumpy figure. From the outside, she fits the image of a fourteen-year-old girl.


    Seeing her, Ryan thought of Natalie again. The Long Island girl was not only shorter, but also a skinny look, not at all white, poor Lolita~


    The one-to-one model of the Sea Harrier was hoisted by a crane, and it would swing up and down a few times from time to time, giving it a sense of turbulence during flight.


    Now it¡¯s the shot of Dana falling on the Sea Harrier. After shooting in the past two days, the Canadian girl has suffered a lot. Even though various safety measures are in place, she still inevitably gets a green body after being bumped. One piece of purple.


    Just yesterday afternoon, Ryan also saw the girl hiding in the utility room, wiping tears secretly. Although many staff members were comforting her, she didn''t say much.


    This is just one of the prices paid on the road to fame.


    "Kate?" Cameron''s assistant looked at the **** the airplane model, and after the other nodded, he shouted, "The 19th act 21, now begins!"


    The airplane model was gently shaken under the control of the crane. The girl crawling on it was holding the radar antenna of the nose, trying to show a panic, the wind blown by the big fan scattered her hair.


    Maybe it was affected by the hair, or maybe it was shooting for two consecutive days, which consumed most of the girl''s strength. When she loosened her hands, she suddenly fell off the model. Fortunately, the safety belt behind the side dropped her. In mid-air, avoiding the bad luck of falling directly to the ground.


    However, it seemed that God was deliberately making a joke. The shaking airplane model happened to hit her and hit her soft underbelly. Ryan clearly heard a clear scream, and then the set became a mess.


    "Hurry up and get a doctor." James Cameron shouted.


    Although she couldn''t help, Ryan ran over. Catherine Isabel has been rescued. She is lying flat on the ground, with big beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. Her eyes are white and she seems to be faint at any time. past.


    "Damn it!"


    Ryan has seen a lot of situations like this on the street in her previous life. I am afraid this girl has broken more than one rib.


    The doctor from the crew quickly ran over, and after an urgent investigation, he shouted, "Hurry up to the hospital, at least three ribs have been broken!"


    Ryan quickly stepped aside, he couldn''t help, so it''s better to make less trouble.


    After leaving the studio, watching the car driving away, Ryan suddenly felt a chill in his back. In his plan, there will be a lot of action movies as an adult. It is not such a small scene, but a big deal. The type of fight.


    I won¡¯t end up like this one day in the future, am I? Ryan recalled the picture in his mind, the sword became a forest, especially the character he was about to launch an impact on the highest honor, it was a head-on, pure Western power fight, and injuries during shooting were all trivial...


    I have been too idle recently, so I should strengthen exercise after returning to Los Angeles. Ryan walked back to the studio.


    It is not uncommon for people to be injured when shooting an action movie, but the victim is a minor girl, which is more troublesome. If the other party takes the opportunity to complain to the actors'' union or the children''s association, it will be a big headache.


    Of course, if she does, it means that Hollywood is insulated from her.


    Some rules are acquiesced by the whole circle. It doesn''t matter if the injury is injured, the producer will give corresponding compensation, which is not only in terms of money.


    Sometimes, it seems like a bad luck, but if you don''t know it, it turns into a lucky thing.


    Fortunately, there are not many shots about Dana. The important ones have been filmed. The remaining ones can be filmed after she has recovered. Anyway, James Cameron is a turtle speed. There is no half-year filming period for this film. Close the mirror.


    "Ryan, do you have a suitable role? Help that little girl find one." When work was over, James Cameron approached him. "Kate is the daughter of a friend of mine, and I insisted on letting her take the photo herself. Those shots always give her family an explanation."


    "Come on, Jim, do you think I am a character vending machine?" Ryan said dissatisfiedly.


    Catherine Isabel is really pitiful, and eventually James Cameron was tossed into the hospital, but the problem is that the movie¡¯s investors are Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox. Okay! What''s the matter with you coming to me?


    Could it be Lolita...


    Ryan patted his head hard, what are you thinking about? Obviously, there are too many shooting scenes for Leon and Matilda.


    "Well, Jim, I try my best, but I can¡¯t guarantee it." It¡¯s also a good idea to make James Cameron owe himself a favorAlthough watching James Cameron toss the actors on set is a very good idea. Fun things, but Ryan is not ready to stay in Miami anymore. "Jurassic Park" has been launched in Hawaii, and he is going to visit Nicole Kidman''s class.


    "My dear, don''t come here. There is a storm here. I don''t worry about it whether it''s a boat or a plane. Don''t worry about me, Ryan." During the phone call, Nicole stopped him from wanting to go to Hawaii. The behavior, there is undergoing the baptism of strong wind and heavy rain.


    "Then... well, Nicole." Ryan could only cancel the trip, "Nicole, did the shooting go well? You have to be careful and pay more attention to safety."


    "Don''t worry, we are safe here."


    "Then I will go back to Los Angeles, and I will see you after the storm." Ryan can only scold the **** weather.


    "Well~ okay, I hung up the phone, here is about to start shooting."


    Before he could reply, they hung up the phone. Ryan was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized that Nicole and the others were going to shoot in a storm!


    is not that right? The script of this world was written by him, and the stormy scenes in it were not deleted. The crew obviously wanted to use natural storms to film!


    Nicole, you must pay attention to safety! Ryan could only mutter silently in his heart.


    He knows very well that even though the outside world is commenting on Spielberg¡¯s business, as long as the old man picks up the camera, he will become as fanatical and serious as James Cameron.


    Ryan has personally experienced this. After all, he had just collaborated on "Schindler''s List" at the beginning of the year.

 Chapter 127： 1 week

    Ding-ding-dong-dong''s piano sounded constantly. Ryan was sitting next to the grand piano in the living room. His slender fingers were like raindrops outside the villa, falling on the black and white piano keys in a relaxed and lively manner. Like clouds and flowing water, drifted out of the living room and passed into the rain curtain.


    When the last note fell, Ryan left the keys with both hands, and began to think carefully about what he had just played. When he went out, he would carry a guitar with him for daily practice, but the piano could not be carried. It took a long time and the technique It is inevitable that there will be strangeness.


    "Not nice!"


    On the sofa in the living room, the little girl''s crisp scolding sounded, and then Tyler''s fluffy blonde hair, like a young Simba, stretched out his little head, "Ryan, I...I want to listen to the guitar. I don''t like... the piano!"


    "Hey, my dear, the piano is the king of musical instruments..."


    Ryan only said one thing, closed his mouth, and said this to a little girl who was almost three years old. Didn¡¯t he play the piano to the cow?


    "But...you said that the guitar...the guitar is the prince of instruments!" Taylor has a good memory, and he still remembers what Ryan said casually before.


    "I want to listen to you playing the guitar..." The little girl''s mouth curled up. This is an invincible ultimate move. As long as the golden beans fall, the people around can only surrender obediently.


    "Okay, okay." Ryan has nothing to do. For the privileged class, they won''t consider other people''s feelings, "Don''t cry, I will play right away~"


    After taking the guitar on the other side, Ryan simply walked back to the sofa and sat next to Taylor, playing simple and lively music. While coaxing the child to be happy, he could only secretly sigh.


    In March this year, the Swifts welcomed their second child, a little boy named Austin. Compared with Taylor''s healthy and lively, this little guy is often affected by viruses.


    In order to prevent the virus from spreading among young children from invading their daughters, whenever their son gets sick, the Swifts often send Taylor here. Even if Nicole or Ryan is not at home, there is a dedicated housekeeper here. And a servant to take care of her.


    It¡¯s worth mentioning that maybe it¡¯s the relationship between living in London for two years. Nicole Kidman has been infected with the habits of many British people. Since entering the ranks of Hollywood''s top actresses, she specially invited a female housekeeper Li Sha is here to take care of the chores in the villa. Even if the villa is not too big, she still has to pay a lot of money every month, but she can devote all her energy to her acting career.


    "Ryan, can you... teach... me to play the guitar?" Tyler''s blue eyes were gleaming, and he obviously liked the instrument.


    "Yes, but I have to wait for you to grow up." Ryan put the guitar on one side, took Taylor''s little hand and looked at it, teaching such a small child to learn musical instruments is a crime.


    "Bigger?" Taylor''s mouth pursed, "Why are you bigger? Mom and Dad always wait for me to be older. I am an adult now!"


    This girl usually doesn''t speak fluently, but when she is anxious and angry, she will speak very smoothly, like a cannon... Well, she has a somewhat grown-up style.


    Ryan felt a headache. Taking care of the children is really a chore. I knew it would be better to go to Disney.


    "My dear, when you start studying now, you will hurt your fingers. Look, you don''t want your fingers to become like me?" Ryan had to stretch out his hand and came to say.


    The slender hands are as delicate as carved from marble. No matter how they look at it, they are the hands of an artist, but when he turns over his palms, there are thin cocoons in his fingers and palms. These are all years. Traces left by practice.


    Music only has talent and is not enough. Just look at these hands to understand how hard Ryan has put in over the years.


    Tyler looked at his tender little hands, touched Ryan''s rough fingers, and closed his mouth very rarely, "Then... well, Ryan, wait... wait until we grow up... some, let''s go ...To watch the rain..."


    Moving the little girl¡¯s special chair, the two came to the terrace on the second floor, admiring Los Angeles in the rain.


    The weather this year is a bit abnormal. Los Angeles has a dry summer and little rain. Now it has been raining for almost two days, and it seems to be related to the storm at sea.


    Ryan has contacted Nicole. The storm on the Hawaiian side has stopped. Even in the storm, the crew of "Jurassic Park" has not stopped filming. It is said that Katherine Kennedy and Steven Spielberg were incarnations. Become a male and female tyrannosaurus, almost driving the whole crew crazy.


    The previous "Jurassic Park" changed the pattern of the entire world film industry. European films further fell into the abyss. Another world-class film factory, Hong Kong films, began to collapse. When the Titanic sailed out of Southampton Harbor, Hong Kong films could only move forward. decline.


    Of course, even without "Jurassic Park", Hong Kong movies will still decline under the constant impact of Hollywood blockbusters. In the context of large investment and production and the ever-changing film technology, there are many factors such as geographical restrictions and narrow audiences. , Making the collapse of Hong Kong movies inevitable.


    They want to change this situation. They can only open up the market in the north. Unfortunately, Hong Kong movies in this era, like Hollywood movies, are foreign products that are restricted to the north.


    In the past life, if it were not for Hong Kong films to go north, Hong Kong films would become even more declining.


    The patter of rain continued for three or four days, bringing a rare coolness to the hot city of angels. After more than a week, Ryan finally completed "Scream of Scream" and made an appointment with Drew Barrymore. When we met, we left Beverly Hills.


    Because George took a leave of absence, Ryan had to call a taxi.


    got out of the car and took a breath of fresh air after the rain. Ryan only felt energetic. In the past few days, the nervous decline caused by seeing the child was almost tossed out, seemed to disappear in an instant.


    Infants and young children, it really is the scariest existence in the world. It¡¯s okay. If the flood does not suit them, it can really make people¡¯s heads become two big ones.


    Thinking of the little girl who had become sharp-mouthed, Ryan felt that it was better to stay away from her. If she wrote in the song in the future, it would really become a big teacup.


    "Guess who I am!" His hands suddenly covered his eyes, and then a girl''s pretentious voice came into his ears.


    "Well, Drew, is it fun?" Ryan knew who it was without guessing, and broke free easily.


    "Hey, it''s boring, what''s your sense of humor, Ryan? I don''t know how to cooperate." It was Drew Barrymore who came by behind him. "How long hasn''t seen you, you seem to be taller again, Ryan."


    As he said, Drew Barrymore also came to him, his height in high heels was exactly equal to Ryan.


    "I''m growing up, little handsome guy." Drew''s old problem was committed again, and one hand unconsciously picked Ryan''s chin.


    "Drew!" Ryan grabbed her hand and threw it back, giving her a stern look.


    Who knows, this guy is not constrained at all, he is joking and joking, "It''s rare for a big beauty like me to send it to you by myself, what can you complain about, Ryan?"


    Beauties? Ryan looked at her up and down, wrapped in a white sleeveless T-shirt and deliberately distressed denim shorts, the girl''s figure was fully visible, and a sweet baby with a sweet smile on her face.


    Not only the place that should be convex is convex, the place that should be warped is warped, but the figure is not as big and thick as later.


    Perhaps in the eyes of Westerners, Drew is a **** stunner, but in Ryan''s eyes, she is not ugly at best, and there is still a lot of distance from being beautiful.


    However, this guy has a really good figure...


    "Ryan, where are you looking? Do you want to try it." Drew naturally noticed his gaze and straightened his chest immediately.


    feel? Ryan shook his mouth. Before Drew acted, he quickly took his hand back. What a joke, this guy''s carefree personality is indeed not bad, but as a partner... let''s save it.


    "Well, Drew, stop messing around." Ryan reminded, "We still have business."


    "Oh, yes!" Speaking of business affairs, Drew suddenly stopped and looked extremely serious, "Let''s go to the cafe over there and talk."


    "Ok."


    Ryan picked up his backpack and looked to one side intuitively. After not finding it, he carefully observed the next surroundings. Now the fire prevention, theft prevention and the reporters are almost able to do so.


    "Let''s go, there should be no paparazzi." Drew led the way, "I paid attention when I came over. It''s quiet."


    It''s just that the two people who walked and laughed didn''t notice. In a hidden corner, the click of the shutter was constantly ringing.


    found a quiet partition. After Ryan asked for a drink, he took a thick folder out of his backpack and threw it to Drew Barrymore on the opposite side.


    "This is the script. Let''s take a look. Don''t say you are dissatisfied." Ryan was not polite to her. "Let''s say it first, Drew, if you have a difficult transition in the next few years after acting in this movie, don''t come Find me!"


    "Don''t worry, I won''t blame you!"


    took out the script and looked through it roughly. Drew Barrymore leaned on the small coffee table, pursed his red lips, and leaned in.


    Ryan stretched out her hand to block her front pushed her baby face back with force, then took the tissue and quickly wiped off the lip gloss from her palm.


    "It''s just a kiss, I just want to express my gratitude!" Drew blinked his eyes again and again, looking like a discharge.


    "By the way, Drew, where''s Gwynne?" Ryan quickly changed the subject and continued, God knew what she would say.


    "Surely you fell in love with her?" It was a standard Drew answer.


    "Drew! I''m only thirteen in a few months!" Ryan wanted to kick her off the chair.


    "Really? Can''t tell, you look like fourteen or five years old." Drew shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I''m not a virgin anymore at your age!"


    Ryan admitted that the man opposite was too invincible, so he had to cough and change the subject, "Okay, let alone those useless, you save the script, I don¡¯t have a copy, wait a few days, you Jenkins Pictures asked Julis Stewart, and I talked to her about "Screaming"."


    "Okay." Drew curled his lips. "You are so boring."


    "That''s it for now, Drew, I''m going home." Ryan looked at the time and was about to leave.


    Drew smiled brilliantly at this time, put his hair behind his head with both hands, and leaned over again, "Ryan, do you remember my last proposal? A week, what about you..."


    Ryan asked herself if she was not a person of the same plane, gave her a bad look, then put on the backpack and the sunglasses, and turned away.

 Chapter 128： Garcia

    Garcia Rodr¨ªguez, a Hispanic, to be more precise, a Hispanic, a man who has just turned twenty-six this year.


    parked the rented motorcycle in a free space on the side of the road. He habitually found a hidden corner and sat down.


    Taking out the cold hamburger from his bag, Garcia took a bite. If it weren¡¯t for the prey that he was reluctant to give up, lunch would not be delayed until now. His stomach was groaning with hunger, even if he had something in his hand. Burgers are a popular commodity, but at this time they feel particularly sweet.


    It is not easy to survive in the Los Angeles area! It is not easy to be a Latin American descendant who is more discriminated against than black people! Although every day here is chanting freedom, equality, and anti-discrimination, Garcia is very clear that these are just chants. Hidden discrimination is everywhere in this society. If it is not for his blood relationship, he will be reduced to a position. Paparazzi?


    That''s right! Garcia is a journalist, or a paparazzi for an entertainment tabloid. The newspaper he works for is called the Los Angeles Liberty, which has just been established and is a typical newspaper that sells celebrity privacy and entertainment gossip.


    After devouring the burger, Garcia checked his telephoto camera. This is the most valuable thing in his body.


    The newspaper was not long after its establishment, and its influence and sales were limited. The treatment of employees was naturally not much better. Newcomers like Garcia had extremely limited fixed salaries. It was very simple to get the income to support yourself! Get enough photos and news.


    This is Los Angeles. As long as you can catch a big fish and dig out some exclusive news from the other party, the bonus will allow him to eat and drink for a month.


    For example, Nicole Kidman, if she can be photographed shopping with a man, and a little intimate action, such a photo can be sold for a big price.


    After all, everyone knows that apart from a few unreliable scandals with Tom Cruise a few years ago, this glamorous Australian woman seems to be insulated from men.


    Of course, now the two have become enemies, and their hatred is higher than the sky...


    He sighed, if it wasn''t for life, he wouldn''t be this **** paparazzi. Think about his dignified background in the SEAL team, a well-known investigator, and he has fallen to where he is today. I really don¡¯t know if it is. My own fault is still the fault of society.


    Originally, after being retired by the army, he wanted to find a job like bodyguard and **** by virtue of his skills, but several companies he found heard he was Latino, and he was rejected by the army because of his mistakes. Outside.


    No matter how strong a person is, he can''t resist the pressure of life. He has to apply some of the things learned by the army into practice and become a glorious paparazzi.


    Don¡¯t even look at him as a newcomer, but his eyes and intuition are extremely keen. He just came to Sunset Boulevard today and was waiting for a traffic light at an intersection. He caught the figure of Drew Barrymore in a car, subconsciously. Followed.


    He knows the destination where the other party arrived, but...what is she doing here, shopping? Or dating someone?


    Before long, Garcia saw Ryan Jenkins walking out of a taxi carrying a backpack and wearing sunglasses. Obviously he had been dressed up, but for his former military player, This disguise is too pediatric.


    Quickly looking for a good angle, Garcia raised the camera, constantly adjusted the telephoto lens, and observed the situation on the opposite side. When he saw a pair of small hands covering Ryan Jenkins'' eyes, he began to press the camera''s shutter rhythmically. , Snapped a picture.


    Oh~ It seems that these two people are still good friends.


    Garcia thought subconsciously, but he kept capturing images that he thought was valuable.


    Couldn''t... They are really in love with siblings, right?


    At the beginning of the year, there was a very, very outrageous scandal between these two people. It is a good time to take pictures of these two people. Besides, Ryan Jenkins has been very simple recently, and few people have photographed him outside. Figure.


    As for the scandal between the two, as long as they are not fools, no one will take it seriously. Who doesn¡¯t know that Tao Lu Barrymore likes pranks. If you show off with her, you can be regarded as a couple. Then this guy¡¯s lover can be from Sunset Boulevard. Arrange to Los Angeles City Hall.


    Besides, Ryan Jenkins is not yet thirteen years old...Well, I had my first girlfriend when I was twelve.


    He shook his head. The two people on the opposite side looked like friends. It was obvious that it was Drew Barrymore who was messing around.


    There was a warning sign in his heart, and Garcia quickly hid. From the corner of his eye, he caught the glance that the boy had scanned, and he couldn''t help sighing about his keen intuition.


    However, he thought he was not comparable to ordinary paparazzi. When he saw the two turning around and walking towards a coffee shop, he raised the camera again and followed carefully.


    When they walked into the store, Garcia put the camera in his shoulder bag, arranged his clothes against the glass of the doors and windows, and then opened the door and walked in.


    Here is Sunset Boulevard, star reporter paparazzi are everywhere. Among them, paparazzi are the most unpopular. Many regular restaurants refuse paparazzi entry. Fortunately, Garcia looks nothing like paparazzi and entered the store smoothly. .


    He just glanced at the shop, he caught the young couple, took a newspaper, quickly found a suitable place, ordered a cup of coffee, took out a small camera and put it on the table, using Under the cover of the newspaper, gently pressing the shutter.


    what is that? file holder? Garcia kept sweeping the other side with the corner of her eye, just in time to see Ryan Jenkins handing a thick file bag to Drew Barrymore. She opened it and turned it over, then put it back. It looked like It should be a script.


    Drew Barrymore looked at it with a smile, and unexpectedly... Is she going to kiss Ryan Jenkins? Garcia saw that Ryan pushed a baby face back without hesitation, and he was secretly relieved for some reason.


    How can a bad girl like Drew Barrymore be worthy of a young genius like Ryan Jenkins! This was the only thought in his mind at that moment.


    Withdrawing his gaze, he glanced at the shop again. There were not many people, and it was obvious that there should be no other reporters and paparazzi. This should be exclusive, right? Still an exclusive about Ryan Jenkins!


    Some time ago, people in the circle were rumored that Ryan wrote a script to Drew. Now it seems to be finished. He also gave the script to Drew. This is a piece of valuable news!


    It would be better if you knew the name and subject matter of the script! Nowadays, who doesn¡¯t know that the script written by Ryan Jenkins has become a box office guarantee. Now that he has got this exclusive, the editor-in-chief will at least write a four-digit check, right?


    Seeing Ryan Jenkins turning around without hesitation, and Garcia understood that the two were just acquaintances, at most ordinary friends.


    Today is a great harvest. The work can be ended early. Riding on the rented motorcycle, Garc¨ªa Rodr¨ªguez returned to the newspaper, said hello to the editor, and went into the darkroom. He wanted to take the photos by himself. Wash it out.


    He can''t worry about giving it to others. The competition in this line is extremely fierce. He is a Latino rookie, and he is squeezed out by his colleagues. God knows whether those guys will mess things up or steal his exclusives.


    The busy day came very late. The sky outside was already dark, and the newspapers were still brightly lit. Many colleagues were sorting out photos taken during the day and writing manuscripts. Looking at pictures and speaking is one of the most basic qualities of this line. Does it conform to the facts...


    Well, history has been distorted from the moment it happened! Garcia didn''t remember where he came from this sentence, but it fits their profession.


    Looking at the photos one after another, Garcia couldn''t help but feel a little embarrassed. The ones captured from Sunset Boulevard were normal, but the ones from the coffee shop were different. It was probably a matter of angle. There were a few... ¡­Especially the scene where Drew Barrymore wanted to kiss Ryan Jenkins, but was blocked by his hand, it seemed like he was kissing directly on the face.


    What''s the matter? Garcia was typing on the typewriter. After all, he was a newcomer paparazzi, and still had a conscience. He subconsciously ignored these ambiguous photos and put his pen and ink on the file bag that should be the script.


    When it comes to tracking, finding people, snapping, and analyzing things, Garcia, who was born in the SEALs, is a good player, but he is not very good at dancing, writing, and so on. He has been busy until midnight, a dry manuscript. It''s just finished writing.


    If a senior expert read his article, he would definitely curse that he is not suitable for this line of food. The manuscript is not only dry without water, but also mostly the facts he has seen. There is not much exaggeration, gossip and gossip. Waiting for the public favorite to see the bridge section is even a brief pass.


    As expected, after the article was handed over to the editor in chief, if it weren¡¯t for the news about Ryan Jenkins¡¯s new script, the manuscript would definitely be killed by this veteran in the gossip industry.


    "Any photos?" the editor-in-chief asked Garcia.


    "Yes!" Garcia took a stack of photos and handed them to the editor-in-chief The editor-in-chief only flipped through a few of them, and his eyes were as wide as the bison of Montana, and he grabbed the manuscript. Pulling Garcia to the editor-in-chief''s room, the speed was so fast that Garcia, who was a soldier, secretly smacked his tongue.


    "Boss! Boss! Big news! Big news! Big news that can make our newspaper a hit!" The editor-in-chief broke into the editor-in-chief''s office without knocking the door.


    The editor-in-chief of ¡¡¡¡ was a bit angry, but after turning over the pile of photos, the corners of his mouth were almost grinning, "Who took this? Beautifully done! I want to give him a raise!"


    "It''s me." Garcia stood up.


    "Good job, keep working hard!" The editor-in-chief patted his shoulder vigorously, and then threw the manuscript he wrote into the trash can. "The manuscript is written too badly. No one cares about the script. We should Focus on the relationship between two people, so let me write this news myself."


    After speaking, the editor-in-chief took out the checkbook, filled in a number on it, and handed it to Garcia.


    "You deserve it, you know, tomorrow our newspaper will make a sensation throughout Los Angeles, no! It''s all California, all North America!" The editor-in-chief was as excited as some crazy terrorists that Garcia had ever seen.


    After receiving the check, Garcia''s eyes lit up, twenty thousand dollars! Twenty thousand dollars!


    Maybe I should follow Ryan Jenkins in the future? He is so valuable! He is simply synonymous with money and status!


    Yes it is! What Garcia wants is not only money, but also status, so that his Latino can stand up!

 Chapter 129： Outrageous

    As soon as the early morning sun fell, Ryan appeared in the small garden of the villa and started a routine morning exercise every morning. As long as it was not for unexpected factors such as weather, he would normally not use a treadmill in the fitness room.


    Breathing the fresh air of Beverly Hills, Ryan vaguely remembered that the air quality in Los Angeles in the early 1980s was far inferior to the present. As the United States became more and more de-industrialized, the air and environment here were indeed getting worse. Laiyue is suitable for human habitation.


    Of course, the dry and hot summer climate in the City of Angels is also annoying, especially at noon when the temperature tends to be close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.


    "Hi, Lisa!" Back to the villa, the housekeeper was already waiting at the door with a towel.


    The butler hired by Nicole Kidman through a housekeeping company with a high salary is extremely high-quality. Not only does he keep the villa in an orderly manner, but also cooks good meals. The only thing that makes Ryan feel that she can¡¯t cook Chinese food. .


    "Breakfast is ready."


    After Ryan wiped the sweat, Lisa took the towel.


    "Where is Tyler?" Ryan asked.


    "It''s in the restaurant."


    Lisa laughed. For more than a month, the curly-haired girl lived here on and off for ten days, perhaps because the younger brother at home was sick again, or perhaps because she felt more free here and bullied Ryan more. It was fun, and asked her father to send her over the day before yesterday.


    This is a little magic star! Ryan shook his head and walked into the dining room. Unexpectedly, Taylor was sitting in a chair honestly and let the maid who took care of her feed breakfast.


    Seeing that she didn''t mean to take care of herself, Ryan didn''t want to ask for trouble. He said that he should quickly finish eating and return to the room. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" is still waiting for her to finish.


    The ¡¡¡¡ muffins are browned and crispy, the donuts are sweet but not greasy, and paired with a cup of hot milk, in the eyes of Ryan, it is also a very delicious breakfast.


    The brisk footsteps sounded, but George walked into the restaurant with his mobile phone, and walked to Ryan''s side a few steps, "Drew''s phone."


    "Drew?" Ryan was a little strange, what did this guy do for himself? I only met yesterday. Is it dissatisfaction with the script?


    "Hi, Drew, this is Ryan!" He took his hand.


    "Ryan...Ryan, we...we are famous!" Drew was a little embarrassed.


    "Famous?"


    Ryan is even more strange, they are already famous, okay? Also, with this guy''s character hesitating when to speak...


    "Gossip, gossip." Drew over there slightly apologized, "We were secretly photographed by paparazzi in the cafe yesterday."


    "We don''t seem to be doing anything?" Ryan remembered clearly that he strictly adhered to the boundary between men and women, and never stepped beyond the thunder pond.


    "Well, do you have the "Los Angeles Liberty" over there? Check it out first and talk about it later. Also, don''t blame me..."


    Drew seemed very guilty, and hung up the phone before he could speak.


    Ryan frowned as he listened to the beep in the earpiece. What the **** is this guy doing?


    "Lisa, do we subscribe to the Los Angeles Liberty?" he asked the housekeeper.


    "No."


    "I''ll buy it." George winked at Lisa and strode out.


    "Ryan, are you...no, you...are in trouble again." It was Tyler who was eating breakfast.


    "Get into trouble? When did I get into trouble?" Ryan glared at her, wondering if she wanted to list her as an unpopular person?


    "Na... Nat said."


    "Nate?"


    "Yes... Ah." It seems that this name can give her courage, Taylor also stared, looking like I''m not afraid of you, "Yesterday, Nat... Nat came... over the phone, I answered! She said...you are an idiot...or a culprit..."


    "Do you often talk on the phone?" Ryan scratched his face. It seems that these two people have nothing to do in their previous lives, right?


    "Yes...Yes! Nat... always teaches me how to deal with you!" Tyler swallowed the food without any sense of secrecy.


    No wonder! No wonder this little guy often fights against himself, it turns out that someone is backing and instructing him! Ryan felt a sudden realization, and then he wanted to laugh, saying Nat, Nat, do you know how difficult this little guy will be in the future? If you instigate her now, it will be you who will suffer in the future.


    Whether the future Natalie will become a cocoon or not, Ryan is not sure, but he must have done it for himself.


    George quickly bought the Los Angeles Liberty, and Ryan looked at the pictures that occupied nearly half of the headlines on the front page and almost squirted out the milk that he drank in his mouth.


    The picture is not very clear, it is obviously a candid shot, and two of them are very familiar.


    Ok! He admitted that the boy inside was himself, and the other was Drew Barrymore. In the picture, Drew was on the coffee table and seemed to be kissing his face.


    The problem is, where''s his hand? Ryan wanted to ask loudly, where did my hand blocking Drew go? Damn it! Which paparazzi secretly photographed this? Really choose the angle!


    From the picture, he and Drew are very affectionate. Because of the shooting angle, the hand pushing on Drew doll¡¯s face happened to be blocked by her floating hair. It looks like Drew. Kissing his cheek.


    What a bastard! Ryan was a little angry, and he had been paying attention to this aspect, but he didn''t expect to be killed.


    "Hollywood found a sister-in-law love, Ryan Jenkins and Drew Barrymore were openly affectionate in the cafe!"


    Looking at the terrifying headline, Ryan''s fire gradually faded. What kind of virtue is the tabloid, can he not know? Anger does not help.


    "Yesterday afternoon, in a coffee shop near Sunset Boulevard, our reporter happened to meet Ryan Jenkins and Drew Barrymore. The two of them seemed to be dating, and their behavior was unusually affectionate. The reporter happened to photograph them being intimate. Picture."


    just right? Ryan snorted coldly in his nose. If there are so many in the world, why be paparazzi and buy lottery tickets?


    "The reporter of this newspaper witnessed the whole process of their dating. Although only a few photos were taken, it was enough to prove that their relationship was extraordinary. Some people might worry that their age difference is too far, but their age has never been before love. Not a problem, is it?"


    "It may also be said that Ryan is a little younger, but the precocious Drew has changed several boyfriends at the age of twelve. Ryan is smarter and precocious than Drew. It¡¯s not at all to find a girl at this age. It''s strange, think about it, he is about to be thirteen years old, he has entered a rebellious period, and his little hormone is already working like a car alarm."


    "If someone thinks we are talking nonsense, then go and see what your twelve or thirteen-year-old child is doing at school? Besides, in the eyes of the rebellious child, Miss Drew Barrymore, the representative of the bad girl, will Generally attractive, besides, she is still so beautiful and sexy..."


    "àÛ~"


    Seeing this, Ryan couldn''t help but laugh. Drew may be sexy, but pretty or something...


    Ok! He admitted that this report and the pictures do look like that, and that this is the United States, not the country where he lived in his previous life, especially in an open place like California. Twelve or thirteen-year-old boys and girls talked about it. It¡¯s too normal to fall in love, and many people even completed their first time at this age...


    But, even if he wanted to fall in love early, he wouldn¡¯t go to Drew Barrymore. Isn¡¯t that crazy?


    This guy is notoriously playful and prank. If you don¡¯t want your head to turn green in the future, it¡¯s better to keep your distance. Besides, this guy¡¯s personality is pretty good to be friends. If it¡¯s fucking, who would usually suffer?


    Ryan asked himself if he didn''t have the kind of strong tolerance.


    It¡¯s just that this scandal is too inexplicable. That guy Drew is indeed a pronoun of trouble.


    Soon, Drew called again, rarely with a guilty conscience.


    "Drew, you really are troublesome." Ryan couldn''t help but complain.


    "I''m sorry, Ryan, I will clarify to the media."


    "Forget it, let your agent contact Pat and let them deal with it." At this time, stand up and refute the rumor, isn''t it true?


    "Well..." Drew''s voice was weak on the phone, "Ryan, are you going to be angry?"


    "Angry with you?" Ryan pouted, "Am I so stingy?"


    "That''s good..." Drew on the phone seems to be patting his chest This will not affect our cooperation, will it? "


    "Hmm~"


    Ryan sighed, even if it''s because of Spielberg''s face, he doesn''t care about it.


    After saying a few more things about the script, Ryan hung up the phone, and at the same time made a decision in his heart. Later, I will be far away from this troublesome spirit, and God knows what will happen when she is messing around.


    Just as the editor-in-chief imagined, the Los Angeles Liberty was famous. It is impossible to be famous all over the United States, but it is a hit in California.


    There was almost no other content in this tabloid that day. Except for the pictures and reports on the front page, they also reanalyzed Ryan and Drew''s past experiences in other pages-from the perspective of tabloids and gossip. Analyze it again.


    If it''s just words, no one will take it seriously. Although the paparazzi today is not as notorious as it was later, most people still know the virtues of the tabloid.


    However, with the secretly photographed pictures, the persuasiveness has been increased infinitely. In addition, this is news related to Ryan, which is already eye-catching. In less than half a morning, the newspaper was out of stock.


    "Add printing! Tell the printing factory to start printing with all your strength! What? Tell them, we will pay them three times the salary!"


    In the editor-in-chief room of the Los Angeles Liberty, the adult editor-in-chief raised his eyebrows, and the voice he shouted seemed very emboldened, as if his newspaper was the Los Angeles Times!

 Chapter 130： Disturb

    There are a lot of right and wrong in the entertainment circle, and gossip rumors are flying everywhere. When the rumors start to go wild, they can''t wait to explain it. They will only be regarded as a manifestation of a guilty conscience. He has seen so many bottomless hype in his previous life. Ryan knows this very well.


    Therefore, neither his side nor Drew''s side stood still and watched the development of the situation.


    In the eyes of most media, the name Ryan Jenkins is synonymous with news. Since his debut, it has stirred up the whole Hollywood. Seeing that it has become unusually low-key in recent times, I did not expect that once the news broke, it would be This kind of content that can shock people''s attention.


    The Los Angeles Liberty had limited influence. They quickly authorized other newspapers to reprint it. Fortunately, the big papers said that at most they would add a few unpleasant comments after reprinting. The tabloids could not control so much. All kinds of exaggerated gossip news began to flood their pages, most of which were critical remarks, thinking that Ryan, as a role model for teenagers, should not set such an example.


    As for the truth of the matter and the age of the victim, it is no longer within their consideration. As long as they can promote sales and drive advertising performance, these guys don''t care about the object of their criticism or praise, whether it is Jehovah or Satan.


    "Ryan Jenkins made an extremely unwise choice. Now he should focus more on his studies and creation, rather than other aspects..."


    This is a more polite way of saying.


    "Obviously, Ryan has entered a rebellious period. The Hollywood child star curse has enveloped his sky. He chose Miss Drew Barrymore as the object of his study. Maybe soon, we will be able to see a nostalgic party. , **, **boy who stayed out all night..."


    Most of the media chose Ryan as the focus of firepower. Who made him now far more famous and influential than Drew. Since his debut, he has cleaned himself up. There are very few negative news added. Drew Barrymore is notoriously bad. Girl, even if the media attacked her, it would not attract attention.


    "Ryan, I did a lot of public relations work with Drew''s agent, and it will calm down after a while." It was Pie Kingsley who called, "Also... Maybe you don''t like to listen, I still want Just to say, Ryan, Drew is not a good choice..."


    "God!" Ryan couldn''t help covering his forehead. "Pat, how many times have I said this? It''s nothing like Drew and I. I''m less than thirteen years old! The paparazzi obviously used misplaced shooting. ¡­"


    "Okay, Ryan." Jinsli over there laughed. "Even if you want to have a girlfriend now, no one will say anything more. Isn''t that normal? But you must be careful with whom you are dating. "


    Damn it! After Ryan hung up the phone, he thumped off the sofa. He didn''t understand these Yankees'' thoughts.


    Ok! In the eyes of others, I might really be conservative. He couldn''t help thinking of the scenes he had seen in school, that classmate Jerry, who was one year younger than him, was kissing behind a tree with a girl from another class...


    The phone rang again, and after Ryan pressed the answer button, the voice of Nicole on the other side came over, and there was no sense of joy or anger.


    "Ryan, what is going on?"


    "That''s it, Nicole, didn''t I write a script for Drew..." Ryan repeated the whole story again, slightly lacking confidence.


    "Well, let Pat calm down this matter as soon as possible, and... Forget it, so be it."


    "Goodbye, Nicole, I miss you." Ryan listened to the beep from the other side, and sighed hard. I''d better avoid the trouble in the future.


    However, the development of things was always unexpected, and the reporter paparazzi who was guarding Drew Barrymore''s apartment soon got a lot of news.


    Many of Ryan¡¯s fans gathered in front of Drew¡¯s apartment, holding up the idol¡¯s poster to protest the bad girl¡¯s approach to her idol.


    "Please stay away from Ryan, he and you are not the same!" This is what some sane teenagers shouted.


    "Drew Barrymore, you are a cousin, you **** Ryan, get out of him immediately!" Dozens of fans held up a huge banner and displayed it in front of the reporter paparazzi.


    The excited teenagers had no reason to say. Facing reporters¡¯ interviews, even more ugly words were spoken. Ryan only smiled after seeing the newspapers. This right should be given to the lawless guy. Punished.


    There is no good way to deal with this kind of thing. If the person responds, it will make the paparazzi and the media even more excited. Anyway, Ryan knows in his heart that there is no such thing.


    And with the passage of time, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and simply became a lively crowd. If the protagonist in it was replaced by someone else, he would definitely feel better.


    News such as gossip and gossip can only attract people''s attention in a short period of time. Especially when the protagonist of the event is silent about it, they often cool down faster. Ryan called to warn Drew, and then An Hiding securely at home.


    Besides, he is not a boring person. After the end of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", the adaptation of "Sugar Coated Trap" was put on the agenda. This previous life belonged to Tom Cruise''s film adaptation. The novel has long been adapted for film by Jinsli.


    Regarding the novel, Ryan looked through it several times, and also found a lot of legal information, and made a lot of comparisons with the pictures in his mind.


    ¡­¡­


    Brooklyn, New York, the crew is busy in front of an old apartment building, and the filming of "Killer Leon" has entered the final stage.


    Most of the remaining shots are scattered, often in the Brooklyn apartment in the morning, and then moved to Central Park in the afternoon. Compared with before, the efficiency has dropped a lot.


    Mrs. Shelly sighed slightly when she looked at her daughter who was sitting silently in the chair. She knew her daughter¡¯s dream since childhood, and now she is moving towards her goal step by step. If this movie is like all of Ryan¡¯s past works, it¡¯s okay. A big hit, so there is no doubt that Natalie will become another dazzling child star.


    Will it fail? Mrs. Shelly has never worried, whether it is Ryan or Natalie, in her eyes, they are definitely the best among minors...


    She never denies that her daughter is a highly capable person, and Ryan is even better than her daughter, but two smart people get together, can they really live together peacefully in the future?


    This is where she worries the most.


    Natalie¡¯s eyes were wide open, without blinking, she was holding a copy of the "New York Post" in her hand, looking at the pictures reproduced on it, a ray of light flashed in her eyes.


    Is this true or not? Psychologically speaking, she doesn''t believe this is true, but intellectually speaking, this picture is the best evidence.


    Why does Ryan always get along with this bad girl? There was some dissatisfaction in her heart.


    "Natalie, it''s time to film..." An assistant from the crew came to remind her.


    "Okay, come right away."


    Putting down the newspaper, Natalie walked towards the location, but from time to time she looked back at the newspaper.


    The busy roads in the past are now a bit empty. The crew closed an intersection in order to apply for filming. After Natalie walked over, the props master handed her a pot of Evergreen and a paper bag.


    "Attention to all departments! Attention to all departments!" Luc Besson''s assistant was yelling, "The 23rd Act, Act 6 now begins!"


    On the empty road, Leon carrying the suitcase and Matilda holding the evergreen stand opposite each other.


    "Matilda, don''t do this stupid thing again, or I will blow your head~" Leon solemnly warned, "Have you heard?"


    "Okay!" Matilda nodded.


    "I don''t know how to do that, it''s unprofessional. There are rules for this business!" Leon continued.


    "Okay!" Matilda still nodded.


    "Also don''t always say''OK''!" Leon increased his tone.


    "Okay!" Matilda nodded vigorously.


    "Very good!" Leon nodded in satisfaction, turned and left. Matilda hugged the Evergreen and the paper bag in her hands tightly, pursing her lips, and was about to follow...


    "Cut!" Luc Besson called to a halt, frowned and looked at Natalie, "The expression is a bit overwhelming... come again!"


    God seems to be joking with Luc Besson deliberately. Such a long-range shot has problems one after another. He has to stop again and again. The person who has the problem is always Natalie. The state of this acting genius suddenly disappeared. fly.


    "Natalie, what the **** is going on?" he roared dissatisfied.


    "I''m sorry, Director Besson." Natalie lowered her head. As a smart person, she knew exactly how she was affected.


    "Excuse me? We sealed this street all afternoon, and only took a few shots..." Luc Besson really got angry.


    "I''m very sorry¡­"


    "It''s getting late, UU reading , let''s stop here today." Luc Besson waved his hand and looked at Natalie again, "Adjust as soon as possible."


    Natalie raised her hand, walked back to the lounge chair in silence, and gathered up her belongings. No one could tell that she was not very happy.


    "Nate..." Ms. Shelly took out the mobile phone, "Nate, do you want to make a call to Los Angeles."


    Raising her head, Natalie looked at her mother in a daze, her eyes closed, like a lonely Matilda.


    Since I met in 1989, Ryan has been her only friend, and she is also Ryan¡¯s only friend. He said that they will always be best friends, but...but why do I always feel after seeing the news in the newspaper? ¡­


    is like my favorite bear** is about to be snatched away by others.


    There was a cold touch on her neck, Natalie couldn''t help but stroked it lightly. It was a silver-white sun-shaped pendant, not a prop, but a gift from a friend.


    "Mom, forget it." Natalie did not answer the mobile phone.


    Mrs. Shelly had no choice but to sigh. She naturally knew her daughter''s stubborn and proud character, and she didn''t say anything.


    "This is not the call time agreed upon by Ryan and I. He is catching up with the script, so don''t disturb him." Natalie seemed to be speaking to her mother, and she seemed to be speaking to herself.


    ...Please recommend and collect...thank you all for your support

 Chapter 131： Rose bowl

    After entering mid-August, there was good news from New York that "Killer Leon" was officially closed. If nothing else, this movie will most likely be released at the end of the year.


    Actually, Luc Besson planned to do the same. For the fat French man who is eager to enter the North American market and enter Hollywood, time is money.


    Although Ryan heard that Natalie seemed a little depressed from the regular phone calls every week, he didn''t take it to heart. For children who have entered rebellious adolescence, emotional instability is too normal, and he is not thankful. Mrs. Li, certain women¡¯s issues are not what he should be concerned about.


    Since the paparazzi and reporters could not catch him and Drew, the extremely outrageous rumors between the two gradually disappeared over time. Besides, this is Los Angeles, where the birds in the sky are pooping. There are too many gossips that attract the public''s attention to a big star who is more famous than Ryan.


    What troubles Ryan is that the Los Angeles Liberty seems to have spotted himself. A paparazzi fell behind him all day long. It is hard to get rid of even with George¡¯s superb ability to get rid of it. Drop him, this guy is completely a dog skin plaster.


    In just over half a month, Garcia has changed shotguns. In addition to the original telephoto camera, his outfit has been completely renewed. The small motorcycle has already been given to the car rental company, and then replaced with a second-hand Ford, which is hip-hop with ordinary paparazzi. Dressed differently, he wears a straight suit with plain sunglasses, like a reporter from a major newspaper.


    In addition, he moved out of a run-down motel, rented an apartment in West Hollywood, and lived a decent life.


    Garcia is very conscious. All these changes originate from the teenager in the Audi car in front. The other bodyguard is very difficult and can easily get rid of the reporters and paparazzi. This just creates opportunities for him. Many exclusive photos can always be taken, and four-figure bonuses can be easily exchanged from newspapers.


    Ryan Jenkins is his gold master! Garcia has become a paparazzi who specializes in tracking Ryan. He also hopes that this teenager''s career will flourish. It is best to become the most famous person in Hollywood, so that the photos he captures will be more valuable, and he may sell it someday. Comes at a six-figure price.


    My villa! My luxury car! My position! My future life...I count on you, Ryan, don''t let me down.


    To some extent, Garcia has also become a fan of Ryan, and he hopes that he will become the most brilliant star in Hollywood in a short time...


    "Damn, that guy is catching up again!" Ryan looked in the rearview mirror and found the familiar old Ford.


    "That guy is very difficult to get around, has a keen sense of smell, and is a good at tracking and analyzing." said George who was driving.


    "Good tracker?" Ryan seemed to think of something, but couldn''t catch it. He shook his head and said, "Don''t care about him."


    Unlike those nasty mice and flies, the guys behind are a little higher in quality, and they are still abiding. Apart from following behind and catching some shots, they won''t come forward to disturb him at all.


    Anyway, he made up his mind. In the future, he will rarely see the troublesome spirit of Drew Barrymore, and let him take the picture. There is nothing invisible to himself, so it is free to promote.


    After all, he has experienced the era of national entertainment. Ryan has a very good mentality. Maintaining a proper exposure rate will have certain benefits for his future career.


    The car came to the Rose Bowl Stadium. Ryan checked the time. Fortunately, he was not late. He greeted the staff who greeted him and walked to the stadium office area.


    The Rose Bowl Stadium is renewing some of its internal facilities. Many busy workers can be seen coming and going. The stadium is huge and can accommodate more than 100,000 spectators. It is a professional rugby stadium.


    Of course, as long as the venue is fine-tuned, it can be turned into a professional football field.


    In 1994, the office of the United States World Cup Organizing Committee in Los Angeles was set up here. Just last month, Pie Kingsley and Hollywood Records have reached an agreement with them to create and sing a promotional song by Ryan. Further promote the promotion of the World Cup in the world, especially in North America.


    As I said before, this is a mutually beneficial thing. Ryan needs to use football''s influence in the world, and the organizing committee needs to use his influence in North American teenagers. After all, it is not ten years later, here Still the desert of football.


    "Ryan, this is Mr. Joseph Blatter, the executive officer of FIFA."


    Walked into the spacious office, and Matt Drizzt, who had met in New York last time, introduced both parties.


    Ryan looked at the big fat man with a bald forehead, snorted contemptuously in his heart, but shook his hand with a smile on his face.


    Didn¡¯t expect FIFA to send someone over? Or this guy? Although Ryan likes football, he has no affection for football politicians. Most fans in his previous life know what Blatter is.


    As for FIFA? It is the world¡¯s second-largest sports corruption organization. Underneath its glamorous appearance is the stinking black water. This later Mr. Chairman is also known as one of the most corrupt sports officials in history. Tried by a British court, he will definitely be sentenced to 10,000 years in prison...


    Perhaps he would say ¡®I have been imprisoned for ten thousand years...¡¯


    Who is the largest sports corruption organization? Of course it is the International Olympic Committee.


    It is said that the entertainment industry is full of shady, but in Ryan''s view, compared with these people who engage in sports politics, Hollywood can only stand by the wind.


    "Yes, I have the direction and inspiration to create the song." When the other party asked about the promotional song, Ryan said, "A Latin song, a Latin song full of passion."


    Just then, the staff came in again with a woman and interrupted Ryan and their conversation.


    "Hello, Maria."


    Although it is not very familiar, I have seen it at several charity dinners and parties, and Ryan shook hands with her last.


    This is an unusually tall woman, five feet nine inches in length. It is completely different from Nicole''s slenderness. She is a typical European and American woman with a large frame. She is plump and sexy. She is covered by a blonde hair, and her mulatto skin is covered with chocolate. General gloss.


    That''s right, this woman is the flower butterfly-Maria Kelly.


    "It''s been a long time, Ryan, oh, you''re taller again." Maria Kelly chuckled and said, "Ryan, I asked you to sing, but you have never responded."


    "Come on, Maria." Ryan shrugged playfully, "Who doesn''t know that you have extraordinary creative talents, where is it necessary for me to show my ugliness."


    "In front of you, who would dare to say that he is talented? Now that''s good, we have a chance to create together."


    In order to promote the 1994 World Cup in the United States, the US organizing committee has invested a lot of money. Not only Ryan is invited, but also Maria Kelly is invited. The two will release a different version of the promotional song for men and women. .


    The current Maria Kelly has just made her debut, and she will not be the super queen of pop music that will be famous all over the world in the future. Speaking of which, Ryan is envious of her talent and capital. Butterfly has two super buffalo lungs and five octaves. The high-pitched sound range, in this respect, is that the blessed guy like Ryan will bow down to the wind.


    In the previous life, the 90s was undoubtedly one of the most glorious eras of pop music. After the four or five big days appeared in the European and American music circles, Maria Kelly was undoubtedly one of the outstanding ones. Unlike the others, she has a creative aspect His talents should be more prominent.


    Frankly speaking, Ryan likes her and Celine Dion¡¯s songs very much. Unfortunately, even in a few years, the eldest sister in pop music will still be Madonna Siconi, even though her works in the late nineties have already It''s not awesome.


    I can¡¯t say that several other female singers didn¡¯t work hard. I can only say that Madonna became the first to become famous, and she also led the female singer¡¯s **** era. Secondly, she was a standard white American...


    Maria Kelly is a mulatto, Celine Dion is Canadian, Whitney Houston is black, Shania Dunn is not only Canadian, but also a country singer...


    This is the recognition of mainstream American society. No one person or organization can change it. Hidden discrimination is everywhere, even if it will continue to be like this in more than ten or two decades.


    It¡¯s like a white American director or actor who messed up an investment It¡¯s a big deal and came back after a period of dormancy. If this director is replaced by John Wu from Hong Kong, it will only be dingy. Go back home.


    "Ryan, Maria, we''re waiting for your song." Joseph Blatt said before leaving, but the hand holding the butterfly squeezed very concealedly.


    is really old and not old! Ryan rolled his eyes, but unfortunately the idea of ??this one is too unrealistic. This is the United States, not Europe. Maria Kelly is not an ordinary singer. Her fianc¨¦ is the president of Sony Records. Luscious face.


    With only a few people left in the room, Maria Kelly made no secret of her disgust. She took out the wet wipes from her handbag and wiped it off in her hands, wishing to wipe off a layer of skin.


    "These people are too much." Maria Kelly complained in a low voice.


    "Well, Maria, ignore that old guy, this is Los Angeles, not Zurich, Switzerland." Ryan said in a low voice.


    "Don''t mind..." The people present are all Americans, in a sense their own, Matt Drizzt said, "Some people are always confused."


    "Ryan, let''s talk about your song." Drizzt changed the subject.


    "What? Your song is ready?" Maria Kelly threw away the wet wipes and looked over in surprise.


    "I think there are tunes and songs, but the accompaniment is more troublesome..."


    ...... The book will be released on May 1st, thank you friends for your continued support......

 Chapter 132： Accompaniment

    Although Ryan doesn''t have a lot of favor with FIFA, it is undeniable that they are a number of sports organizations in the world. If the song can be recognized, under their promotion, it will be more smoothly promoted to the world.


    Of course, it doesn¡¯t matter if they refuse to promote. The United States World Cup Organizing Committee is not a vegetarian. In fact, when the United States is determined to do a good job, the energy that erupts will never be much worse than the other side of the ocean, not to mention since entering. After this year, Uncle Sam has become the only overlord in the world.


    "The song I am going to follow the pure Latin style, and use the rhythm of drum beats and the sound of horns to drive people''s enthusiasm for football."


    Ryan is discussing music with Maria Kelly, and the focus is naturally the "Cup of Life" he has prepared.


    "Are there scores or lyrics?" As a singer and music composer, Hua Butterfly is obviously curious.


    "Uh, wait a minute." Ryan made a gesture to George, and the other party quickly took a stack of music from the backpack and handed it directly to Maria Kelly.


    While flipping the paper, Maria Kelly hummed a melody. This is not just a single sheet of music and lyrics. There are also many explanations about the accompaniment and chorus, especially for the variety of instruments required and it is popular. It''s relatively rare in Lezhong.


    "This is Spanish?"


    Maria Kelly raised her head and looked at Ryan, "Such a pure Latin style, in America..."


    Even though she only spoke half of what she said, Ryan could still understand the meaning. This song is no problem for the whole world, but it is a bit troublesome in the United States. Even in the 98 years of the previous life, this song has been used for nearly 40 years. This country became the No. 1 single, but in North America it has not entered the top ten of the Billboard T100.


    Even though this song is also very popular, it can explain some problems.


    Ryan also thought about re-arranging and changing the lyrics, especially a few sentences in Spanish, but these are exactly the essence of the song. If there is no Latin style, and the classic Spanish lyrics are changed, then life Is the cup still the cup of life?


    Actually, he has different ideas from the World Cup organizing committee. The organizing committee wants to use his influence among North American youths, and Ryan wants to use this opportunity to spread his name to the world.


    Matt Drizzt seemed to hesitate when he heard Maria Kelly''s words.


    Hua Butterfly blinked her eyes, knowing she was a bit too much, and quickly made an apology gesture, Ryan nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay.


    "Matt, let''s go, I''ll let Pat give you some news later, so I can go to Hollywood Records to listen to it, how about it?" Even though this is a Latin style that is not very popular in the United States, Ryan still Full of confidence in this song.


    "What about me?" Maria Kelly asked.


    "Well, and you, Maria." Ryan bowed his arm gracefully, "May I invite the beautiful Ms. Butterfly to listen to the song?"


    "Flower butterfly?" Maria Kelly was taken aback.


    "How about this title?" Ryan knew that he had missed his words, and quickly added.


    "I like it very much!" Maria Kelly repeated, "Flower Butterfly, great! Maybe it can be the name of my next album."


    Anyway, since the day he appeared in Hollywood, he has changed the trajectory of many people. Such small changes have long been ignored by Ryan.


    Both are musical geniuses, and they are also full of musical talents. After Ryan and Maria Kelly chatted for a few words, the topic quickly turned to pop music. meaning.


    Especially Ryan''s views on the development trend of pop music in the future made Maria Kelly suddenly see and benefit a lot.


    "In the pop music world in the future, singer-songwriters will become more and more powerful, and singers who can write their own lyrics and music will be more popular in the market." Ryan said mostly about the situation after entering the new century.


    "Really? Can I invite you to a song?" Maria Kelly had the feeling of meeting her soulmate, "This is an official invitation."


    "Okay, but it will take a while, you know, inspiration may not be available at any time." Ryan responded. Anyway, he has heard a lot of Hua Butterfly songs in his previous life. Some songs are difficult for ordinary people to sing. Come out, it''s a big deal to copy a song and return it to her.


    They came here just to exchange some opinions on the song with the World Cup Organizing Committee, and they both said goodbye before they stayed.


    Common topics are very easy to narrow the distance between people, even on the way to the parking lot, Maria Kelly is still talking with Ryan about some views on popular music.


    When she came to the parking lot, she saw Ryan''s car-the Audi 90, and she couldn''t help teasing, "Ryan, no wonder the media said that you are a role model for teenagers. You are really frugal."


    Ryan shrugged helplessly, watching Maria Kelly wave his hand at him, and got on a red Ferrari, and a gust of wind disappeared.


    Maybe it''s time to change the car? After getting in the Audi, Ryan wondered, maybe he could order a Bentley or Rolls-Royce?


    "Go to Hollywood Records." Ryan said to George, "Remember to notify Pat to place an order for two Bentleys."


    The black Audi car drove away from the rose bowl, and the old Ford hung behind again like a hanger.


    "Hi, Jay~"


    greeted the female receptionist, and Ryan walked directly to the practice room of the Mickey Mouse Club. On the way, he had already called the director John Burns to express his intentions.


    Walking to the door of the practice room, Ryan nodded to a staff member and walked directly in. Most parts of the company are open to him, the only trump card.


    In the bright rhythm, more than a dozen children in the Mickey Mouse Club were practicing dancing. Many people saw Ryan come in, and their eyes began to radiate light. It was only because of John Burns and John Burns standing on the other side. Jenny Joanna could only forcibly retract her eyes.


    "Ryan, these little guys don''t have the mind to practice as soon as you come here." Joanna complained slightly. She knew very well that these children were young but had a lot of mind.


    Of course, this couldn¡¯t be more normal. If they don¡¯t want to be famous, why should they join the Mickey Mouse Club? Besides, people who have no ambitions and **** are not worth training at all.


    "Really? It looks like I''m a sinner." Ryan folded his arms and looked at the little guys. "Did John tell you, I need five accompaniment."


    "of course."


    John Burns and Jenny Joanna nodded at the same time, and then Joanna asked, "Which five are needed? The five with the best singing skills?"


    The reason why Ryan came here to find a backing singer is not to find someone with the best singing skills, although those five people are indeed one of the outstanding people.


    "Can I choose by myself?" Ryan said with a smile.


    "no problem."


    After finishing, Joanna patted her palms, the music and dancing all stopped, and the children looked towards Ryan.


    Then, Jenny Joanna made a please gesture to Ryan.


    "I need five people to accompany me in my next song." Ryan was not polite, and directly explained his intentions.


    When those little guys heard him say this, their eyes were about to emit green light. Although they were only backing singers, they had the opportunity to perform on the same stage with Ryan. If it weren¡¯t for John Burns and Jenny Joanna, they would have long since Jump out of the recommendation.


    Only Christina Aguilera is more calm. Her singing skills are the best. She still has a little friendship with Ryan. In her opinion, Ryan will definitely choose herself.


    Sure enough, she heard her name.


    "Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling, and Britney Spears." If it weren''t for these five people, it might be possible in the future. It will be a surprise, how can Ryan come here to choose people.


    Think about it, if these five people are still as famous as their previous lives, then this classic song will still attract a lot of people''s attention even if it is more than ten or twenty years later.


    In the envious eyes of others, these five people followed Ryan and they walked to the practice room on the other side.


    "A pure Latin style song?" In the practice room, John Burns was looking at the stack of scores. "This is the propaganda song you prepared for the organizing committee?"


    "Yes, I need pure Latin accompaniment, tambourine, trombone." Ryan explained the style of the song in detail, and he looked at five people who were a little embarrassedOf course, but also There are five excellent backing singers. "


    "Thank you, Ryan, we will definitely work hard!"


    Boss Jia and Boss Gao said in unison, which seemed very tacit.


    "Ryan, I won''t let you down." It was Christina Aguilera who said this, who was more familiar with Ryan than the others.


    "There is still me! There is still me!"


    Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson stepped forward one after another, and the three girls glared at the two boys.


    Will they fight?


    Ryan will naturally see all of this. He has no interest in the secret fights between these little guys. If they can''t meet his requirements or make some mess, he will replace him without hesitation. .


    To some extent, he is also a profit-oriented person. In addition to his relatives and friends, other people who are worthless, he is equally lazy to take a look.


    summoned his accompaniment band, Ryan explained to them the requirements of the song, these guys are fairly versatile, although they are not very good at some Latin American instruments, they are enough to act as a temporary accompaniment.


    Of course, this is just a make-up. If this song becomes a promotional song, MTV will definitely be recorded, and a huge accompaniment band will be needed.


    However, all of this will naturally be paid for by the World Cup Organizing Committee, and Hollywood Records will be happy to find a suitable orchestra.


    ...The countdown to the shelves, a little nervous...

 Chapter 133： Pick up

    The dense drums are like the shouts of the audience on the stadium stands, and the loud trombone is like a horn blown in battle. Although the music is still a bit monotonous, the exciting rhythm echoes in the hundreds of square feet of practice room, constantly washing people''s emotions. Nerves, the violent beating that drove the original smooth heart.


    "GO, go, go......"


    "Ale, ale, ale..."


    Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling and Christina Aguilera¡¯s backing vocals sounded first.


    The accompaniment of the trombone was tighter than ever, and the dense drums formed a pure and incomparable Latin style.


    "Life is full of love..."


    Although just practicing, Ryan still maintains a very serious attitude. He has heard this song too many times in his previous life. With his current ability, it is not difficult to imitate Ricky Martin, but he wants nothing. Just imitating.


    During the last week of practice, Ryan kept adding his feelings to it, especially since he was a fan in his previous life and has his own understanding of football and the World Cup.


    The World Cup is the highest pursuit that every football player must fight for. At least this is true in this age.


    This was only in the early 1990s, not around 2010. At that time, under the impact of the European Cup and the Champions League, the World Cup''s influence gradually declined. Now it is truly the world''s first single event.


    "stop!"


    When it came to the ** part of the chorus, Ryan caught the missed beat, raised his hand to interrupt the practice, and looked to the side of the accompanying sound.


    "Sorry, Ryan." Britney raised her hand timidly, obviously it was her who made the mistake just now.


    "Huh, it will only be a hindrance."


    The murmurs of the other two boys were passed over, but Ryan just treated it as if he hadn¡¯t heard it, and patted his palm, ¡°Well, let¡¯s stop here for now, and rest now.¡±


    After finishing speaking, he ignored the five troublesome spirits and walked straight to his rest area, where John Burns was standing.


    "Ryan, I have to say that this song is really exciting." John Burns was obviously a little emotional, "The melody that stays on paper is very different from the melody played."


    "The current accompaniment is still too monotonous, I can guarantee that this song will be popular all over the world, and even lead a Latin style in the world."


    Ryan is naturally confident. Even though it is a few years earlier than the previous life, the music is different from the movie. Besides, this song still draws on the East Wind of the World Cup. Although it only appeared as a promotional song, it would not be worse than the previous life.


    John Burns also nodded in agreement. He is a veteran in the pop music industry, and can roughly tell whether a song will be popular, although this pure Latin song is difficult to be recognized by authoritative music institutions. But the passionate melody and surging artistic conception are enough to guarantee the spread of this song.


    This song will be a huge commercial success! This is Burns or Hollywood Record Company''s primary idea.


    As a record company, the first thing to consider is commercial performance, followed by honors. Ryan''s creative style is just in line with their appetite. Although the first album is a bit of a hodgepodge, it is still biased towards popularity as a whole.


    Since this summer vacation, Ryan has often come to the record company. From the conversation between the two and some song fragments that Ryan occasionally inspired to write, it can be seen that his first consideration is also business. To be precise Said it is the degree of singing.


    After a few more words with Burns, Ryan sat in the back chair, drank the water that George had handed over, and began to think carefully about his interpretation of the song.


    It¡¯s been a while since he officially became a singer, and Ryan has also discovered that he is a big scene live player. The more the audience, the more enthusiastic the scene, the better his interpretation of the song, and sometimes even surpasses the recording. Room recorded version.


    There is no doubt that "The Cup of Life" is the most suitable song for live singing. If there is a concert or something in the future, it can be used as the opening song, and it can instantly ignite the enthusiasm of the audience.


    As for whether this song will be adopted, I have to wait a while to see the reaction of the bricks of the World Cup Organizing Committee.


    "Ryan!" A slightly hoarse female voice interrupted his thoughts. When Ryan looked up, he found that Christina Aguilera didn''t know when he came to him, "Kristin, what''s the matter? ?"


    "Well~ Jesse and I will have a party tonight, I want to invite you to..."


    "I''m sorry, Christine, I''m going to the airport in a while." Although the little girl''s eyes couldn''t hide the disappointment, Ryan did want to go to the airport and checked the time. "That''s all for today''s practice. Right."


    Then, he looked to the other side, "Goodbye, John, goodbye, everyone."


    The black Audi car drove out of Burbank and drove all the way to Los Angeles International Airport. At about 5 o''clock in the afternoon, the chartered plane taken by the crew of "Jurassic Park" will land there. He has not seen him for almost two months. It''s Nicole Kidman.


    Originally, Ryan planned to visit the squad in July, but was hindered by a storm. Then he had a fight with Drew and was entangled by paparazzi, so he could only stay in Los Angeles.


    Later, during a call with Nicole and Spielberg, he learned that the crew would return to Los Angeles soon, so he simply waited here.


    After two months of shooting, "Jurassic Park" ended its location on the island, but it was far from being closed. In addition to the next move to Montana, a large number of shots will be taken at Universal Studios. Completed in the studio, this will be the top priority of the movie-dinosaur special effects and CG images.


    Although Industrial Light & Magic has the world''s most advanced film special effects technology, it is impossible to achieve dinosaur shots only with CG. Industrial Light & Magic has produced hundreds of models and sets. It is said that these equipment alone are fully equipped. A cargo ship.


    Actually, these models will be used in future, such as opening up a dinosaur park after the movie is hit...


    Universal Pictures and Industrial Light & Magic have reached an agreement in this regard. After the movie is released, Universal Studios will open a Jurassic theme park.


    "Ryan, there is a reporter."


    Just walked into the airport lobby, George had already discovered the presence of the reporter.


    "They are so well informed." Ryan complained a little, and dodged behind George, trying not to attract the attention of those guys.


    Probably the reporters focused their attention on the exit gate. No one noticed the corner where Ryan was staying. He looked at the wall clock not far away. There was still some time before the plane arrived, so he had to talk to George. I found a place to sit down, lowered the brim of the hat, and looked around boredly.


    The gathering of reporters attracted the attention of many travelers, but this is Los Angeles. This situation is too common. Except for curious people who will stop and watch, most people still pass by in a hurry.


    Nicole... Ryan flashed the face of an Australian girl in his mind, and a happy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure appeared in the distance, and he cast his mouth helplessly. The man was obviously a Latino. Although he was dressed in a formal suit and leather shoes, the telephoto camera hanging around his neck betrayed him. Identity-reporter or paparazzi.


    Ryan has often seen this guy recently. It is the paparazzi of the Los Angeles Liberty that even George can hardly get rid of.


    However, this guy is obviously different from other reporters or paparazzi. He picked up the camera and took a few concealed shots of Ryan, but didn''t make any announcements, and raised his hand very friendly.


    Seeing the other party calling hello from the air, Ryan reluctantly rolled his eyes. This is really a strange paparazzi. Seeing that the other party did not reveal his whereabouts, he also waved his hand.


    I don¡¯t know how Ryan would feel when he understood Garcia and treated him as a gold master.


    "He seems to be from a military background." George also noticed the paparazzi and observed carefully. It was probably not long before Garcia was retired by the army, and there were many military habits in his behavior.


    "Military background?" Ryan squeezed his chin, "No wonder the tracking technology is so good!"


    "Should be the same as me, all from the navy." George seemed to be very interested in him.


    Ryan shook his head. It¡¯s really peculiar to be a paparazzi for a veteran. Old America is not as good as it is advertised. Just like on the other side of the Pacific, the placement of veterans is done in a mess.


    He remembers very clearly that in some of the famous gun battles in the United States in the past life the protagonists are mostly retired soldiers. These guys have excellent military skills. If you take an automatic rifle, you can beat a dozen or even dozens of people. The police suppressed and couldn''t look up.


    Don''t talk about others, just talk about George. Despite his excellent personality, he is a ruthless character. Ryan once asked how many people he had killed. This guy laughed and told him directly that this is not a problem that minors should be concerned about.


    The airport announcement rang. Ryan listened intently, and after confirming the flight sequence, he jumped from his chair.


    "Here, Nicole is back!" There was uncontrollable excitement in his expression.


    At the same time, dozens of reporters also hula la la around the exit gate, the people who are about to come out are big fish, that is the crew of the much-anticipated "Jurassic Park", including George Lucas. , Catherine Kennedy, big directors and producers like Steven Spielberg, as well as new generation stars such as Nicole Kidman and Sam Neal.


    By the way, since Nicole Kidman has returned to Los Angeles from Hawaii, what about Ryan Jenkins? Didn''t he come to pick up the plane?


    Many reporters suddenly woke up and couldn''t help but look back.


    A long distance away, Ryan keenly caught the tall figure of Nicole Kidman in the crowd. She was wearing light-colored casual clothes, a white sun hat, carrying a handbag and sunglasses, and was looking outside. It seems.


    Although many reporters were surrounded by the exit, Ryan and Nicole¡¯s eyes collided in a short moment, and the feeling called warmth and attachment suddenly rippled between the two of them.

 Chapter 134： Slim Nicole

    When Nicole Kidman walked out of the plane and was about to be surrounded by reporters, Ryan took off his baseball cap, and Gu had to stop the flashing light, and quickly rushed to Nicole¡¯s side, tightening the Australian girl. Hugging tightly into his arms.


    Ryan took Nicole into his arms. He was no longer the three-inch peas, although he was a lot shorter than Nicole, but after raising his feet, he finally put his chin on that. On the shaved shoulders.


    "Nicole, I miss you." Although there were a thousand words to say, Ryan''s longings only turned into one sentence.


    "My dear, I miss you too."


    Nicole is obviously a little uncomfortable. Once upon a time, the people who would only be carried around by her, now that they have grown up, they are about to be taller than herself.


    Sniffing the familiar scent, Ryan''s arms gradually tightened, and there was only a strong attachment in his heart. He just wanted to feel that Nicole was by his side, and she would never leave.


    A trace of hesitation flashed in the light blue eyes, and Nicole''s somewhat stiff arm slowly dropped, and finally landed on the back that was beginning to become thick. She hadn''t seen it for two months. She... why didn''t she miss it. About him.


    "Nicole, you''re thinner." Ryan can clearly feel that Nicole is more slender than when he left. Obviously, the two months of shooting have suffered.


    "My dear." Nicole struggled lightly, "Ryan, I can''t breathe because of you."


    Ryan laughed dumbfounded, and only then did he wake up some impulsiveness, and quickly let go of Nicole. When he retracted his arm, his forehead was warm, but Nicole''s red lips were habitually printed on it.


    At this time, the surroundings had long become like a vegetable market. Almost all the crew members who came out were besieged by reporters. George and the two female assistants who were holding salutes blocked the reporters who rushed over.


    After a little distance, Ryan took a closer look, and Nicole had not seen each other for two months, and Nicole had changed a lot.


    In order to fit the image of Dr. Ali Setler, the Australian girl dyed her iconic golden-red curly hair into honey gold, perhaps because of the stronger relationship of the Hawaiian sun, her skin was slightly darker. Without the paleness of the past, it looks healthier and more beautiful.


    "Why, kid, don''t you recognize me?" Nicole squeezed his ear gently.


    "Let''s go home, Nicole." Ryan glanced around her eyes, and she would become a panda if she didn''t leave.


    "Okay, go home." Nicole said, and took his hand.


    "Hi, Ryan!" After a reporter''s wall, Spielberg made a phone call gesture to him.


    Ryan nodded. Protecting Nicole behind her back. Under the cover of George. To kill outside the airport.


    Holding the rough fingers in her hands tightly, Nicole couldn''t tell what it was like. As if she hadn''t seen them for two months, Ryan suddenly grew up several years old. She used to protect him, but now he protects her. President Don''t Mensao


    However, this feeling is really good.


    "Hi, Ryan, can you answer a few questions?" An acquaintance came up, Mick Taylor.


    "Sorry, Mick, Ms. Kennedy and Mr. Spielberg have always been in charge." After all, it was the media that had been close to him, and Ryan replied.


    "What about you. Nicole?" Mick Taylor looked behind Ryan.


    "Well, I just want to say one thing, this movie will create an unprecedented world, I promise!" Nicole waved at him and followed Ryan out of the airport lobby.


    As the crew left the airport one by one. The paparazzi''s caravan also dispersed, as if they were stalking, focusing on the most newsworthy targets.


    "Hey, why did that guy disappear."


    In the back seat, Ryan looked back, but he didn''t even see the old Ford with the Latino paparazzi.


    "Who?" Nicole asked curiously.


    "Well...a paparazzi, a paparazzi with very good tracking technology." Ryan gave a rough overview of the things these days.


    "Does he have any bad intentions?"


    Nicole became nervous, and the person who was most important to her was sitting next to her.


    "Probably not." Ryan scratched his head embarrassedly, "It seems that this guy has photographed me and De..."


    Seeing that Nicole''s face seemed to be turning cold, Ryan closed his mouth obediently. Obviously, Nicole''s spoiling and accumulating power from the past few years are still there. He wants to turn over and wait a few years.


    The Audi car quickly drove into the villa, and just before entering, the paparazzi blocking the door of the house was a good shot. If it were not for the treatment of the window film, it would definitely dazzle the eye of the flower.


    "It feels good to be home." Nicole stood in the middle of the living room, looking around the familiar home, her exhaustion seemed to disappear.


    "My dear, can you help me carry the salute into the room?" Nicole smiled brilliantly at Ryan.


    "Happy to help, beautiful lady."


    Imitating the prince in Disney''s animation, Ryan gave a standard gentleman''s gift, picked up a small suitcase one by one, followed Nicole, and walked towards the second floor.


    Entering Nicole''s room, as early as when she called and said that she was about to return, Ryan asked Lisa to take someone to clean the room, no different from when she left.


    "Okay, Ryan, you should stop." Ryan was stopped by Nicole when he walked to the cloakroom. [Comprehensive] Monster Fox Tibetan Horse


    "Ah..." Ryan was taken aback for a moment.


    "I''m going to change clothes and take a shower." Nicole glared at him, took the suitcase, and handed the handbag to Ryan. "There is a gift I prepared for you in it."


    "Okay." Scratching his face, Ryan stepped back, but didn''t leave.


    Sitting on the fabric sofa, Ryan opened Nicole''s handbag and quickly found the so-called gift, and couldn''t help laughing.


    Those were two dinosaur models, about the size of half a slap, a Tyrannosaurus and a Triceratops, almost exactly the same as the image in memory.


    The cloakroom door rang softly, and Nicole walked out with a change of clothes and saw two vivid dinosaurs in his hands. He said, "This is a reduced version of the movie prop model. After I went to Kauai, I specially invited the industry. The people of Magic Light helped to do it."


    "Very good." Ryan said with a smile.


    "Do you like it, dear." Nicole came over and leaned over and kissed his forehead.


    "of course!"


    Ryan nodded his head vigorously. As long as it was something Nicole gave him, let alone a dinosaur model, he would accept it even if it was a bomb.


    "Okay. Ryan, you should go out." Nicole pulled him up and pushed towards the door.


    "Nicole..."


    "You are now an adult, not the child you used to be."


    Nicole very resolutely drove Ryan out of the room, but after closing the door, she was slightly confused by the wall.


    Ryan has grown up! Seemingly in a daze, Nicole walked towards the bathroom.


    Turning around after going out, Ryan walked back to his room and went directly to the glass showcase. The two golden figures were the most conspicuous inside.


    In addition. There is also a photo of him with Nico and Natalie.


    Thought for a while. Ryan moved the little golden man. It threw it directly to the next row, and replaced it with two photo frames and a gift from Nicole in the most conspicuous position.


    Honor and career are very important to him, but Nicole is more important.


    At the white table, Ryan and Nicole sat opposite each other. He almost couldn''t remember the last time the two had dinner together. The food was chocolate pie and pearl sturgeon that Ryan asked Lisa to prepare carefully-Nicole''s favorite food.


    "If it hadn''t been for the hurricane that hit Kauai and affected the shooting schedule, we would be able to return to Los Angeles a week ago." Nicole is telling some things that happened during the shooting. "I saw such a terrifying hurricane for the first time. The model of the Velociraptor rolled directly into the sky, and was never found again." The rebirth daughter Qingcheng


    "Stephen must be crazy, they let the actors shoot in the storm." Ryan said with his lips curled.


    "No, my dear. In fact, the storm was very small when we were shooting." Nicole remembered something again, "You should know that Stephen was under a lot of pressure. He was the director when the crew was filming. When we were resting, he Post-production guided by satellite phone..."


    Having said that, she also shook her head.


    Ryan also heard about Spielberg''s situation. In his previous life, he used his spare time to shoot first, and he supervised the post-production of the previous film via satellite phone. Now it is the other way around.


    My little butterfly has changed a lot of things after all.


    "I heard that Nat''s movie was closed?" Nicole asked.


    "Yes, it should be released at the end of the year."


    Ryan saw Nicole put down the knife and fork in his hand, and the chocolate pie in front of him was one-third of the top, "Nicole..."


    "I''m losing weight." Nicole waved her hand with a smile.


    Less... to lose weight? The corners of Ryan''s mouth trembled, and his eyes widened and looked up and down the Australian girl Does she need to lose weight?


    After taking a shower, Nicole wore a pair of sports shorts, a sleeveless blouse and a pair of slippers on her feet, showing her beautiful figure.


    It''s just that the thin joints of her feet are a little protruding, the calf is in the shape of a fusiform, and the protrusions of the leg muscles are almost invisible, and the thighs seem to be only as thick as Drew''s calf...


    When he was at the airport, he held her with his chin resting on her shoulder, and he could barely feel the flesh, as if there were bones except skin.


    "Nicole, I...I think it''s better for you to gain some weight." Knowing the curse of women''s weight loss, Ryan persuaded him from the side.


    "But... but my stylist thinks it''s better to be thinner." Nicole looked down at her figure and didn''t seem very satisfied.


    Ryan suddenly woke up, this is not entering the new century, now the fashion circle and entertainment circle are popular for thinness as beauty, and many celebrities and models even suffer from anorexia in order to lose weight.


    "I...I think you are still plump and more beautiful." Ryan didn''t want Nicole to become a rib beauty.


    "is it?"


    "Yes!" Ryan nodded vigorously, "Nicole, will you listen to my opinion?"


    Nicole pursed her lips, seemed to hesitate, and seemed to be thinking again, and finally nodded gently.


    As long as Ryan thinks he is beautiful, whoever cares about them! At that moment, Nicole''s mind only had this idea.

 Chapter 135： Throw to the Atlantic

    The horns stopped, the drums were gone, Ryan exhaled a long breath. This was the first time he devoted himself to the performance, and the effect was of course very good.


    "Smack~"


    I don''t know who was the first to slap his palms, and then the applause of more than a dozen people filled almost every inch of the practice room.


    "Guys, good job!" Ryan first gave the band a thumbs up, then walked to the five little guys who accompanied them, and celebrated with them one by one.


    The practice for more than ten days was finally not in vain!


    "A very good song, Ryan." Maria Kelly was the first to come up to congratulate him. "It''s much better than I thought, but the accompaniment is a bit more monotonous."


    "It''s just an audition after all." Ryan explained with a smile, "Thank you for coming, Maria."


    "Of course I will come, I''m still waiting for your new song." Hua Butterfly winked at him.


    At this time, several representatives of the World Cup Organizing Committee and FIFA also came over. Matt Drizzt was still a little emotional, "The song is really good, but... Ryan, why not write a rock?"


    "Rock? This Latin style song is suitable for football."


    Somewhat unexpectedly, it was the FIFA executive Joseph Blatter who spoke. "This will definitely become a classic football song."


    "Thank you!" Ryan shook lightly on his stretched hand.


    This song will naturally be appreciated by this guy, and among other things, the boss he wants to take over is an out-and-out Latin American.


    The persuasive power of language is never as good as the facts before us. After seeing Ryan¡¯s interpretation, especially under the encouragement of several FIFA officials, the US Organizing Committee reached a verbal consensus here. , The rest will be specific negotiations.


    "Miss Kidman, you are so beautiful. If you can, can you invite you to dinner?"


    The organizing committee and FIFA officials are shaking hands with everyone to say goodbye, Joseph Blatter holding Nicole Kidman''s hand. An ill-timed invitation was sent.


    "No, I''m very busy." Without even 0.5 seconds, Nicole withdrew his arm and refused coldly.


    Seeing the big bald fat man walking out, Ryan snorted coldly and looked at George beside him.


    "Go check his flight back to Switzerland, put a bomb on the plane, and send this old boy into the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean." Xian Tu Ye Lu


    When the words came out, everyone was shocked, and the people from Hollywood Records and Ryan couldn''t help but watch them at the same time. It''s like watching a madman.


    "Ryan..." Nicole''s cold words squeezed out between her teeth. Stern was written in his pale blue eyes.


    "Just kidding." Ryan waved his hand casually. He smiled and said, "The Swiss obviously can''t figure out where he is now. I just want to give Nicole and Maria a sigh, haha... don''t take it seriously."


    "Come on. Ryan." Maria Kelly shook her head.


    Naturally, no one would take this kind of thing seriously. Obviously, they thought that Ryan was just messing around.


    "By the way, Maria." Ryan remembered another thing, took a stack of music scores from the backpack, and handed it to Butterfly.


    "finished?"


    "Yup!"


    Ryan rolled his eyes on purpose, but actually just copied a song. As for which song, is there a more suitable one?


    "There is a hero. If you look deep in your heart, you don''t need to fear..."


    While studying the melody, Maria Kelly hummed the lyrics softly, and the tunes became more and more smooth. The joy on her face grew stronger and stronger.


    You know, Ryan gave her not only scores and lyrics, but also some suggestions on singing and other aspects. She is also a genius in music, and she can naturally distinguish the quality of songs.


    "Thank you, Ryan, I don''t think I need to worry about the promotion song anymore."


    Maria Kelly closed the score, with unstoppable excitement on her face, "I will ask the agent to contact Ms. Kingsley as soon as possible."


    Hua Butterfly is not a fool. Inviting songs is one thing, and business is another. There is no free lunch in the world.


    After saying hello to Nicole Kidman again, Maria Kelly said goodbye in the hateful eyes of John Burns... Well, her behavior is to steal meat from the Hollywood record company. what.


    "Ryan, songs from your new album..." John Burns stopped talking.


    "Don''t worry, John, there is plenty of time, isn''t it?" Ryan smiled and shook his head. Nicole walked over, pinched his ear, and said softly, "You are not allowed to talk nonsense in front of people in the future. , Don¡¯t you know that this will cause trouble?"


    Baojian


    Unlike others, they have lived on each other for several years after all. Nicole knew very well that if someone really dared to hurt her, Ryan would definitely do something crazy. She never doubted it.


    Gently squeezed Nicole''s hand, Ryan looked at her and smiled. Needless to say, the two would understand in their hearts, except for their secrets that lie deep in their hearts, they are almost transparent to each other.


    "Ryan, do you have any plans for the next album?" The big sale of the first album made Disney rejoice, and naturally wanted to continue to encourage it. Burns has mentioned it several times, "At the end of 1993 or 94 How about the launch at the beginning of the year?"


    The speed of one album in two years, in Burns''s view, couldn''t be more appropriate.


    "No problem!" Ryan has prepared a lot of songs, some of which have been copied out in memories, "Except for the rest, I am going to take the pure pop folk and pop rock route."


    "Yes." Pure fashion represents a high degree of commercialization, and Burns will of course nod his head, "We will cooperate with your time when the recording comes."


    This is the only trump card of the record company. His record revenue accounts for more than half of the company''s revenue.


    "That''s it for the time being, John." Ryan packed his own things, ready to leave, "I will trouble you to find a suitable Latin band."


    "this is necessary!"


    Today''s work is successfully completed, Ryan feels there is no need to stay here, after all, there is still a script waiting for him to complete.


    "Let''s go home, Nicole." Ryan beckoned to Nicole Kidman who was chatting with someone.


    "okay then."


    Nicole looked to the other side and walked directly over, "Hi, how are you."


    "Hello, Miss Kidman." The five little guys who accompany the singer said timidly.


    "If you have time, you are welcome to visit Beverly Hills. Ryan has too few friends."


    In this regard, Nicole has always been a little worried, after all, except for Natalie in New York, Ryan has no other friends.


    Ok! Drew Barrymore could be considered half, but she didn''t like her at all.


    Ryan stood behind Nicole and said to his heart that you are not asking for trouble. He gently pulled off the corner of Nicole''s clothes, and passed a calm look at him.


    Fortunately, the Mickey Mouse Club did not come and go freely like him. Ryan took Nicole and quickly walked out of the Hollywood Record Company. [Zong Man] Sorry, it''s dropped


    "What''s wrong, Ryan?" After getting in the car, Nicole was a little strange, "Don''t you like them?"


    Ryan shrugged, I can¡¯t talk about likes or dislikes, only Christina Aguilera is a little familiar because of the early acquaintances. For the other people, he is just a passerby. After all, his previous life At the time, he neither liked them nor disliked them.


    Except for the unscrupulous idea that Boss Jia and Boss Gao sometimes engage in Broke Mountain because of the bad taste, he really has no other ideas.


    Even if Britney has been harmed by Boss Jia now, it doesn''t matter to him.


    Of course, if Disney had accepted his suggestion to form a golden cat club, Ryan would definitely find a way to get involved.


    Unfortunately, his proposal completely miscarried, and it also made him lose his only interest in Mickey Mouse Club.


    Nicole could only sigh helplessly. Anyway, Ryan has been like this for the past few years. Apart from sometimes messing around, there are no other problems. Ryan, who is healthy and happy, is her favorite Ryan. Hmm, isn''t it?


    August passed silently The very nostalgic summer vacation is over. Ryan has ushered in the last school year of elementary school. He is not only the oldest person in the same level, but also Become the tallest person.


    Other children are generally much shorter than him, and their age ranges from one to two years younger.


    Of course, Ryan is also the school¡¯s most famous student. With his living signature, it has indeed attracted many students. As far as he knows, the enrollment of St. John¡¯s Elementary School in the new school year has increased by a quarter compared with the previous year.


    Like this kind of private elementary school, a large number of students represent a high income. Now that Ryan will graduate soon, they can''t help but focus on other child stars, hoping to expand the school''s influence in the same way.


    Drew Barrymore and Jules Stewart who returned to Los Angeles also negotiated the shooting. Because Ryan and Nicole threw almost all of the funds into the stock market and their budget was only a pitiful 8 million dollars, of which Two million is still Drew''s investment.


    Naturally, with such a budget, we can no longer go to the famous horror film director in the previous life, otherwise his salary alone will be a big problem...


    So Ryan recommended David Fincher, this kind of horror and ridicule subject matter to his taste, and granted him and his team considerable authority.


    David Finch encountered Waterloo this year when filming. Of course, more responsibility lies with the producer. The editing made by the other party made the movie a mess.


    In this way, it happens that David Fincher desperately needs a work to turn over, and the two sides have an old relationship, and it hits it off.

 Chapter 136： Peripheral products

    After leaving the Audi car, Ryan and George changed to the electric car on the set and drove towards Universal Studios Studio No. 24. After all the props were shipped back to Los Angeles from Hawaii, the crew of Jurassic Park was here. Rebooted.


    The electric car turned a few turns and quickly reached the huge studio area. A long distance away, Ryan could see a lot of people gathered in front of the 24th studio. It seemed to be... Watch the excitement.


    what happens? Ryan is a little curious. If you know that the audience''s interest in Lao Mei Dangwei is not worse than that on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Could it be the crew''s accident?


    As the distance shortened, Ryan finally saw what was going on, and the corners of his mouth trembled.


    On a wide road in front of the studio, the crew used wood and plastic to temporarily set up many obstacles. Industrial Light & Magic¡¯s computer and digital experts are pulling their hands in front of their chests, imitating the actions of the chicken dragon in the book, jumping up and down. When I ran, I was looking for inspiration for making cg images.


    Although their looks are extremely serious, in Ryan''s view, these guys'' actions are a bit funny. Not only are they not like chicken dragons, but like ostriches fleeing in a hurry.


    Of course, he knows very well that it is precisely because of the serious and responsible attitude of these people that the great success of "Jurassic Park" can be achieved.


    Saying hello to the staff at the entrance of the studio, Ryan walked in, and only felt that the light was dimmed. It seemed that night suddenly fell. He could see the flashing lights and the fan making a gust of wind, and he was obviously in the process of shooting. .


    A huge model of Tyrannosaurus, with the assistance of several cranes, is chasing the Ford convertible in the "Running". Nicole Kidman, Sam Neal and Jeff Goldbrun are also in the car. Screaming incessantly.


    "Ah~"


    After Dr. Ali Setler, played by Nicole Kidman, screamed in horror, the crew paused.


    Originally, Ryan thought that the mad chase of the Tyrannosaurus rex was completed on Kauai, but Spielberg did not expect it to be moved to the studio.


    "Sarah, give it to me."


    Ryan greeted several acquaintances and came to Nicole''s female assistant. He took the water and towel, and walked towards the Australian girl.


    "Nicole, you look terrible like this." Ryan handed the towel over.


    "Really? Honey, I was just chased by a Tyrannosaurus rex." Nicole wiped off the drops of water and mud from his face, and pulled him to the rest area. "It''s over for school?"


    "Of course, I didn''t skip class." Ryan rolled his eyes angrily, wondering if I was so unreliable?


    They just sat down without saying a few words, a man and a woman walked over. It was Steven Spielberg and Catherine Kennedy who were fierce: Fleeing for the Crown Prince. Read the full text.


    "Hi. Stephen. And Kate. It''s nice to meet you." He stood up and said hello.


    "Ryan, how do you feel." Spielberg asked, pointing to the huge model of Tyrannosaurus rex.


    "It''s great, if it wasn''t for lack of vitality, I thought it came from Bai Ji." The model of the Tyrannosaurus rex is indeed very realistic.


    "After it was modified with the computer cg later. It will become a real Tyrannosaurus." It was Catherine Kennedy who spoke.


    "Ryan, we set up a huge shooting area on the set. You can go around with Kate. I should be busy." Spielberg made an apologetic gesture and walked towards the camera, apparently about to start shooting again. Up.


    "Okay." Ryan beckoned to Nicole and left here.


    After leaving Studio No. 24, Ryan followed Catherine Kennedy to Studio No. 16 across the road. The famous female producer talked to him about the shooting while walking. .


    Ryan kept nodding his head. But the other side came to mind in my mind. Catherine Kennedy is the most successful female producer in Hollywood history, and even Anne Hurd can only bow down in front of her.


    He remembers clearly that before his rebirth, the other party was the producer with the second highest grossing box office in Hollywood history¡ªthe first was Spielberg¡ªand then George Lucas appointed her to Lucasfilm. The co-chairman and his successor.


    The process of her rise can also be called inspirational. He started as a photography assistant and later became Spielberg''s secretary, and since then embarked on the road to success.


    Like Ryan, she also has a shell film company under her name, which accounted for $5 million in investment in "Jurassic Park" and also pushed the film''s budget to $70 million.


    Entering the 16th studio, the first thing to enter is the giant Tyrannosaurus skeletal fossil. Ryan stood at the door and looked at it, but it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false for a while.


    "Kate, this... won''t it be?" He had to ask.


    "Of course not, we can''t afford to rent such a precious fossil, which is made by Industrial Light and Magic with latex and plaster." Catherine Kennedy walked in first.


    This studio is mainly set up as an exhibition hall in the movie. It may not be filmed for the time being. There are many plastic dinosaur models nearby. Along the way, Ryan has seen Velociraptor, a reduced version of Brachiosaurus , There are triceratops lying on their sides and so on.


    Although these models are made extremely realistic, the fake is the fake, and the appearance lacks vitality, so that people can distinguish the real from the fake at a glance. It is absolutely not enough to only use the model when shooting. The later computer cg modification is necessary.


    For movies, the cg era is gradually opening, but more models are used in "Jurassic Park".


    Walking into the arranged computer control center, Ryan looked at a computer brand trademark that was not too eye-catching on the monitor, and couldn''t help laughing. For Hollywood, embedded advertising has long been a part of film culture, but The vast majority of filmmakers will control the degree, and will not turn into a movie embedded in the advertisement.


    "Universal Pictures is in contact with advertising." Catherine Kennedy explained with a smile, "Ford off-road vehicles, computers, burgers, canned cream, etc., can recover about 25 million US dollars. Speaking of which Thank you too, Ryan."


    "Thank me?" Ryan shrugged indifferently.


    "Yes, everyone knows that your work will sell well, not to mention that this is the hugely influential "Jurassic Park"."


    "Well... I believe these advertisers will smile and **** their mouths after the movie is released." Ryan said contentedly.


    As long as this movie can maintain the level of the previous life, it is inevitable that it will sell well, and there is almost no need to worry about the age of online marriage: God, divorce, read the full text.


    Then, they went to the "Jurassic Park" product retail store built by the studio-in the movie-filled with a variety of products, as small as a keychain with a dinosaur and Jurassic Park logo. , Lunch boxes, water cups and cultural shirts, as large as cribs, bicycles and so on. There are hundreds of them.


    Of course, there will be close-up shots in the movie, which is to promote the peripheral products.


    "We have invested a lot of money and signed agreements with nearly 100 companies to manufacture and sell more than 1,000 products, including three video games and a toy production line..."


    Speaking of this, Catherine Kennedy took out a book from one side and handed it over, "This is the revised hardcover version of "Jurassic Park" after consultation with the "Alien" Publishing House. Many movies will be added to it. illustration."


    Take over the books. Ryan flipped roughly. It is indeed much more refined than the previous version, and then I look at the pricing behind it, which is twice as much as the original version...


    The profit of this movie is not only in the box office, its peripheral products can sell far more than the box office profit. And with the release of the movie, it is bound to further drive the sales of the novel, especially in areas outside the English-speaking area.


    You should know that the publication of hardcover novels in other languages ??is currently under negotiation. Japanese, Korean, German, and traditional Chinese versions will be listed together with the movie.


    Looking at the full shelves, Ryan''s eyes kept flashing green bills, and none of his plans would be realized without money.


    The development of Hollywood movies to this day has long passed the age of relying solely on box office and video tape to make money, and diversified operations. Relying on non-theatre channels to make money will be an inevitable trend in the future.


    To put it another way, after entering the new century, commercial films have become more than just films, and have gradually become a tool for subsequent market promotion.


    Ryan still remembers the previous life George Lucas said before the release of "Star Wars Episode". It¡¯s difficult to make money from the release of this movie, but we will make money back in the toy market.


    As Catherine Kennedy turned around and listened to her description, "Jurassic Park" almost achieved the current extreme in terms of making money. As long as Waterloo does not appear in the movie, in the next few years, investors like them will You can wait to count the money.


    Ryan likes banknotes the most. In this capital country, what money can bring is far beyond his imagination in his previous life.


    "Ryan, here, this is a gift from me on behalf of the crew." Before leaving the studio, Catherine Kennedy mysteriously handed over a box.


    "Oh? There are still gifts to take? Great, it seems I should come a few more times." Ryan took it, "Can I see it now?"


    "Of course." The filmmaker made an inviting gesture.


    Open the box What appeared in front of Ryan was very familiar. It was a translucent orange ellipsoid with insects like a mosquito wrapped in it. This is exactly what Ryan based on his previous life. The lens in the movie, the amber drawn.


    "This is Amber?" Ryan didn''t think it was true.


    "Ryan, if you are buried in the ground, in a few hundred thousand years, it may become amber." Catherine Kennedy joked, "We actually made it. This is not the cheap souvenirs, it''s industry. Light magic is made of natural resin, specially prepared for you, the original author."


    Original author? Ryan had already practiced his face, put away the box, and said with a smile, "Thank you!"


    Back to the 24th studio, Ryan sat quietly, waiting for the crew to go home with Nicole after the end of work, and occasionally stand behind Spielberg to see what was shot on the camera. Lens.


    However, he is like a personal puppet and does not express opinions. Even though he has participated in the production of many movies in his life, he is still a layman for shooting and directing work.

 Chapter 137： About the future

    While the filming of "Jurassic Park" is intense, the production of the later cg images is also in full swing. The crew has already formulated a complete publicity plan. On the basis of maintaining a certain degree of mystery, some of the latest shooting highlights will be released from time to time. At this time, a starring actor in the crew can burst into a vigorous scandal, and that is definitely something everyone loves to see.


    For Nicole, this movie is different from the other three movies she filmed after she came to Hollywood. Dr. Ali Settler had a lot of desperate running and action scenes, which made her suffer a lot.


    Finally came to a weekend rest day, Nicole simply rejected the shopping plan with Judy Foster, and I planned to take a good rest at home. I didn¡¯t expect that just after breakfast, a Disney staff would come to the door and give it away. A batch of trial-produced animal dolls came.


    "Ryan, would you just take a look?" Nicole placed more than a dozen dolls in the corner of the living room and shouted toward the sofa.


    "Nicole, bring Simba and Nana, thank you." Ryan turned his head halfway from the sofa.


    "Honey, you should come by yourself."


    "Please, Nicole," Ryan murmured, "Can''t Disney send it here next week this weekend?"


    Now that "The Lion King" is in the process of stepping up production, the animal dolls in it are ready to be finalized and produced. Disney sent samples over and naturally wanted to ask him the original author''s opinion.


    It''s a pity that Ryan is a layman for dolls and the like. After a glance, he feels pretty good, especially the young Simba, who can definitely poke the cuteness of many people.


    The fluffy golden-yellow lion cub is really cute. Nicole held it in her hand and kept watching. Ryan threw Nana''s sample aside and watched the long-winded show on TV. It was quite boring. But the honey-gold curly hair tied into a ponytail tugged over, squeezed it in his hand and played gently. That feeling...well, at least it''s more interesting than TV shows.


    "Ryan, my hair has just been taken care of." Nicole glared at him, but Ryan didn''t care at all and murmured, "Don''t be so stingy, Nicole."


    Nicole rolled her eyes and moved closer to Ryan so that he could pull more hair, and sighed inwardly. As long as he is happy.


    The voice of speaking outside the living room sounded. It seemed that it was the voice of Lisa and Scott talking. Then, amidst the sound of dense footsteps, the little girl with messy golden curls, who looked a little overly active, rushed into the living room and saw the doll in Nicole''s hands at a glance.


    "My! This is... mine!" Tyler was really not at all polite. He rushed over and grabbed the doll in his hand, and then took Nana, who was still on the other side of Ryan, in his arms, "It''s all mine! These! All!"


    "Hey, Tyler, slow down, no one will fight you."


    Nicole quickly took one of her hands, for fear that the little guy would fall to the ground.


    "Nicole, these... are the full text of my No. 1 Datang Village!"


    Tyler smiled flatteringly at Nicole. She knew very well who was the master of the family.


    "Okay. Honey, it''s all yours." Nicole could only laugh helplessly.


    "Taylor..."


    Scott Swift walked in at this moment, looking at his overly active daughter, also having a headache.


    "Hi, here. Scott."


    Since the troublemaker came in, Ryan has simply become an invisible person, and dealing with her is definitely a headache.


    "Hello, Nicole, and Ryan." Scott sat across from Ryan.


    "Ryan... these are mine!" Ryan didn''t want to talk to Tyler, but the little girl wouldn''t let him go. This guy seemed to understand that he was a privileged class, "I want to listen to the guitar! Now!"


    With this trick-or-treating bag here, it is difficult to talk about business matters. Nicole knew that since Scott came over on the weekend, there must be business matters to talk about. Reluctantly rolled his eyes, picked up two dolls, and pulled the mischievous ones. The little girl went to the recreation room.


    "Back?" Ryan asked with a smile after the maid served coffee.


    "I just came back from Richmond yesterday." Scott opened the briefcase, took out a document, and handed it over. "I also hired two formal investigative agencies. They stayed in San Rafael and Richmond very much. It took a long time to obtain these information."


    "Don''t worry, no illegal means were used." Scott added.


    "Oh~ It seems that their situation is very bad." Ryan looked at the file, and most of the contents were not what he could understand in his previous life. "It''s worse than I thought and heard..."


    Scott took the conversation, "It is true. In the 90s, in order to raise the necessary operating costs for the studio, they sold the hardware department, which also included dedicated hardware technology and image processing software, and from only a hundred Eighteen of the employees were laid off. In order to save rent and expenses, the office was moved from San Rafael to a one-story building in Richmond. In 1990, the net book loss was as high as 8.3 million U.S. dollars. It should actually be more."


    "No wonder that guy treats it as a burden." Ryan could only sigh when he heard this.


    "In fact, they are in a more difficult situation now. Last year and this year, they laid off another 30 people, including President Chuck Costa. There are only 42 people left in the entire studio. The number of people at the time of initial creation."


    "What about finances?" Ryan simply closed the folder.


    "So far, the actual loss in the first two quarters of this year has exceeded 5 million U.S. dollars. If no surprises, the entire year''s loss will create a new high." Scott drank a cup of coffee, sighing in words.


    Ryan smiled with satisfaction. The harder the situation there is, the better it will be for him, "Where are the few people I asked you to check?"


    "John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Ed Kamel and others are still there, but if the losses continue, no one knows whether they will voluntarily resign or become the next layoff target."


    With arms around his chest, Ryan pinched his chin. If nothing happens, these people will stick to it until the day of success.


    "Ryan, really want to buy it?" Scott frowned. "No one in Hollywood or even the entire IT industry is optimistic about them. I think you should have heard that that guy has been peddling it, if not Microsoft refused A quotation of up to 50 million U.S. dollars. Now it has become a subsidiary of Microsoft."


    "Also, although it is still unclear, its loss in 91 years should exceed 90 years, and this year it will even exceed 10 million US dollars." Scott is obviously persuading.


    "It''s not that we are downloading TXT now." Ryan waved his hand casually. He doesn''t have so much cash now. "Where is Disney?"


    "They signed an investment agreement of 26 million US dollars. It is said that the funds have not arrived in the account. Disney''s board of directors has huge disagreements. I heard that Michael Eisner has repentance. He has never been very optimistic about animation. Production. Presumably this is not a secret..."


    This is the most troublesome place. Ryan rubbed his forehead. How can Disney give up this agreement?


    Of course, this needs to be said after the things are obtained. If "The Lion King" will be as successful as the previous life, it may be an opportunity. After all, this movie has pushed Disney animation to its peak, making most people optimistic about the future of hand-drawn animation.


    In addition, the exchange of interests is also a way. As long as there are enough immediate interests, it is sure to impress Michael Eisner and the Walt Disney Board of Directors.


    "Well, Scott, help stare over there, and..." Ryan frowned. Lack of money is indeed a big problem, "how much money do we have now."


    "There is not much cash flow, unless you sell the stocks and fixed assets you hold."


    "This... forget it." After a few years, Scott finally absorbed a portion of the stock from the stock market. Isn''t it a fool to sell at this time? Ryan thought for a while and said, "There should be a large amount of money in the account early next year..."


    Indeed, next year, not only will there be royalties from the novel market this year, but also the dividends of the album "Ryan Jenkins". In addition, the overseas box office and surrounding share of "Bodyguard" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" have not been The partner settles, if the funds are still not enough, then they have to go to the bank to borrow.


    Given his and Nicole''s creditworthiness, a loan of ten to twenty million dollars shouldn''t be a big problem.


    When the money is used, I hate less! Ryan couldn''t help feeling a little bit, why didn''t he have the protagonist spirit, just went to the stock market to roll around, and hundreds of millions or even billions of funds were obtained?


    Just wait. When "Jurassic Park" comes out, whether it is movie box office or peripheral products, it will completely crush the entire world film industry. Then you can spread the entire villa with dollars and enjoy the style of a local tyrant.


    Near noon, Scott Swift and his daughter were sent away. Ryan fell into thinking again. This investigation was conducted through other companies hired by Scott. This is very inconvenient and easy to leak news. Talk about yourself. Do you want to sponsor or set up a company of this kind?


    "Ryan, what do you want to eat?" Nicole walked over at this moment.


    "Whatever, I like everything you do."


    Seeing Nicole Kidman, Ryan suddenly remembered the divorce case in her previous life, in which Tom Cruise hired a notorious Italian. Although the methods were disgraceful, they were extremely practical.


    All the time Nicole has appeared in all works related to him, and the huge benefits he can bring to the producers have made Nicole hardly to suffer. Banknotes are against each other.


    But Ryan is well aware of the dark side of this circle, and it is difficult to say whether someone will fall into trouble when he encounters certain difficulties.


    Regardless of whether it is now or in the future, Ryan knows that he cannot change the rules of the game in this circle, and he has no intention of changing anything. He only wants to protect his relatives and friends. When the rules fail, he will definitely need something different. means¡­¡­


    Especially he and Natalie, now they have the advantage of being a minor. Even if some people want to make some ideas, they have to think about it, but what about them after the age of sixteen?


    The premise of all this is money. If he and Nicole have billions or even billions of net worth, many problems will not be a problem.


    Of course, Ryan has the memory of his previous life, and naturally knows where the bottom line of certain things is, and will not touch it, otherwise he will play himself in prison like that Italian, then it will be sad...

 Chapter 138： Sonoma

    Time slowly slipped to October. The hot temperatures in Los Angeles are long gone, but the propaganda war between the major film companies has entered a fierce heat. Now the Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year file is getting more and more attention, and the box office numbers are beginning to move toward the summer file. In line with it, many big productions put the schedule in this time period.


    As the first work to enter the North American film market, Luc Besson also set his goal at this time period. Although he was still busy in post-production, the publicity plan for "Killer Leon" was as early as the day the movie started. It started.


    Just like "Terminator 2," Columbia Pictures lost the distribution rights of the film after Ryan got involved. Of course, Ryan didn''t know.


    It should be said that he was born with the Japanese...


    Miramax released the first trailer early, edited by Luc Besson himself, abandoning the sensitive content of the movie, focusing on showing Leon¡¯s superb killer skills and hot scenes, and how to save a man from despair. Matilda''s little girl.


    From the trailer alone, this is the story of a killer helping a desperate girl. There seems to be nothing special, but the screenwriter of this movie has Ryan¡¯s name behind it. His work has always been creative, so it¡¯s absolutely amazing. Most people believe that what is shown in the trailer is only a small part of the movie content.


    There are many boring film critics trying to interpret the content of the film from the trailer. After all, this is the only work that Ryan Jenkins will release in 1992.


    "This is a story about a killer. We can see from the trailer that the story should take place in New York. The police also played a very disgraceful role in the movie, but I am a little worried that Ryan''s most important period was during his Grew up under the care of his sister Nicole Kidman, does he know how to describe the image of a killer? Of course, we all know that Ryan has a wide range of reading and unexpected ideas, maybe he will We describe a unique killer..."


    These film critics know very well that it is a stupid act to make false judgments before a movie is released, and what they write is often nonsense.


    Some media have set their sights on the full-text reading of the film¡¯s cast and crew. After all, since Ryan''s debut to the present, his works have won a lot of popularity.


    For example, in a "Sixth Sense", not only did he and Nicole Kidman become famous and officially entered Hollywood, but also allowed David Fincher to get the Oscar nomination for best director for his debut. "Night Sleep in Seattle" made Tom Hanks and Nicole Kidman both enter the ranks of Hollywood''s top stars. "Bodyguard" made Whitney Houston''s career a big success, and the limelight faintly overwhelmed Madonna Sico. Ni, recommend Brad Pitt to star in "Yihai Xiongfeng". Hollywood is about to welcome another popular idol niche.


    "Whether it is the director Luc Besson. Or the two starring actors Jean Reynolds and Gary Oldman. They are not unfamiliar to us. The image of Leon comes from Ryan watching a movie Jean? In the movie starring Mr. Reynolds, according to director Besson, Gary Oldman was also recommended by Ryan. Perhaps we can see the wonderful performances of these two actors in the movie..."


    "The other main actor, Miss Natalie Portman, is a newcomer. So far we haven¡¯t got much information about her, but in the few shots of the trailer, we vaguely saw her. Excellent acting skills, although her facial lines are slightly rougher, she has a faint look like Audrey Hepburn when she was young, and several crew members we interviewed revealed that this Miss Portman was filming. The acting skills shown at that time can even be compared to when Ryan Jenkins filmed "Sixth Sense"..."


    After reading this report. Ryan didn''t need to call to ask. It must be the news that Harvey Weinstein deliberately disclosed. However, he kept the agreement with Ryan and did not disclose Natalie''s identity information in advance.


    And there is nothing too outrageous. Natalie''s talent in acting is indeed beyond doubt.


    Now it¡¯s just a trailer, and when the movie is released, the real trouble will come. Ryan knows very well that even if he undergoes some surgery on the plot of the movie, the controversy after the release may be inevitable. Some people always like to stand morally. Go up to the commanding heights and accuse others, but never care if the bottom of your **** is clean.


    "So after the trailer was released, none of your classmates noticed it?"


    In the bedroom, Ryan is holding the microphone and talking on the phone with Natalie in New York.


    "Of course!" The voice over there was inevitably triumphant, "The actor announced in the movie is Natalie Portman, and my name is Natalie Hurschle. I am obviously not alone. Besides, I am early I changed my hair style and made it taller... ah, it¡¯s nothing, no one will recognize me anyway."


    "Come on, Nat." Ryan couldn''t help but slapped. "This kind of trick can also be used for a while. After the movie is released, your classmates will definitely overwhelm you... well, there are reporters and paparazzi."


    "That''s not necessarily." Ryan could almost imagine Natalie wrinkling her nose when she heard this hum.


    What a pity, Nat, even if you are smart, you are still naive! Ryan sighed secretly. With Natalie''s age and acting skills shown in the movie, as well as sensitive subjects, the reporter will definitely clean up her digging.


    Hmm... plus Ryan Jenkins'' childhood friend.


    "Okay, Nat." Ryan tapped his finger, scratched his cheek, and said, "If the movie has caused you trouble after the movie is released, I hope you don''t blame me."


    "Blame you? Why am I..." Natalie''s voice suddenly cut off. It should be because of the sensitive subject matter of the movie. "Ryan, I remember you said in your letter before that the chosen path must be brave and firm. Going on, all criticisms, slanders and difficulties and setbacks are just bubbles. Do you think I will be afraid of these?"


    Yes, Natalie in this life is not Natalie in the previous life, she has been influenced by herself to some extent! Greater ambition, more proud and strong personality.


    Listening to her innocent and firm tone, I don''t know why, Ryan suddenly felt the feeling of a girl in my family, but Natalie''s next sentence destroyed this feeling completely.


    "Furthermore, Ryan, aren''t you... standing in front of me? At that time, there will be criticisms and arguments. First of all, I will be directed at you. I will just hide behind you... Hee hee..."


    Sure enough, she was a smart little Lori, Ryan smiled helplessly at the Huhua Fengshui Master. "Well, dear Nat, let me act as your human shield."


    After talking about the movie again, Natalie on the other side suddenly asked, "Ryan, didn''t you mean to serve the world... the World Cup, is that the name? Did you shoot a promotional mv for them? Not finished yet? I''m still waiting to see."


    "No, it''s early. The World Cup Organizing Committee had already negotiated, but FIFA asked to cooperate with their publicity plan. It will not be released until next year."


    Speaking of. Ryan was also helpless. That gang of corrupt people engaged in sports politics is too much trouble. If it weren''t for their power, he would want to break up with them.


    After she hung up Natalie''s phone, Ryan put away the script of "Sugar Coated Trap", which was basically finished. Although there are movies that have been seen in the previous life, the adaptation is not easy. He has consulted a large number of law books for this purpose. Fortunately, this life''s head is good enough.


    Anyway, the film adaptation right of the novel is in his hands, and he is not eager to release it. Recently, he has been thinking about what kind of benefits should be exchanged for this work?


    Soon, "Killer Leon" launched a poster, and the crew directly adopted several sketches drawn by Ryan. The most eye-catching one was naturally the one where Leon and Matilda were walking on the road.


    Leon held Divine Youth in one hand and a pistol with a silencer in the other; Matilda was wearing a shorts and jacket. A sun-shaped pendant is tied around his neck, with a bear doll in one hand and a paper bag in the other, looking at the cool killer sideways.


    There are also separate posters of the three protagonists, in addition to a few pictures of Leon and Matilda living together.


    In fact, there are senior filmmakers with keen intuition. I faintly feel that the content of this movie is unusual, especially the pictures of the lives of the little girl and the middle-aged killer, why there is a faint taste of "Taxi Driver"... No, it should be the taste of "Lolita" .


    Of course, before the movie is released, neither the reporter nor the film critic will speak easily.


    Perhaps out of confidence in Ryan, or in view of Luc Besson¡¯s post-production progress, Miramax has set the schedule of "Killer Leon" in the fiercely contested Christmas file, and the premiere location is also shown. In New York.


    "Relax, Harvey, I will definitely go to the premiere, Nicole? She doesn''t have time. She should go to Montana with the "Jurassic Park" crew at that time. The rest? You go ask Jules and The producers on your side are alright, aren¡¯t they always in charge of the project? Nat? I think it¡¯s the perfect choice to unravel the suspense at the last minute, isn¡¯t it? That¡¯s it. See you in New York some time later. I still have something to talk to you."


    In the driving car, Ryan put down his mobile phone and scratched his head, saying that the box office of the previous life "Killer Leon" was not very good in North America. Will Harvey Weinstein throw it in the Christmas stall?


    However, UU reading tends to be more controversial, the more controversial the movie will be, plus its own appeal, shouldn¡¯t it? How can you say that Natalie''s debut work should be promoted to the 100 million box office club?


    Looking at the scenes that were going backwards outside the car window, Ryan stretched out and asked the driving seat, "George, how long will it take to get there?"


    "It''s still early, Ryan, if you''re bored, you can sleep for a while." George said without looking back.


    "forget it."


    Ryan shrugged and glanced back. The familiar old Ford was hanging behind him unhurriedly. He couldn''t help but shook his head. The smell and tracking ability of the one behind was really extraordinary.


    Before leaving Beverly Hills, George made several laps and dumped all reporters and paparazzi. Originally, this guy also disappeared. Who knew he had just left the boundaries of Los Angeles County, he followed.


    I''m used to it anyway, Ryan doesn''t care, he simply took the map and looked for a place called Sonoma on it.

 Chapter 139： Change roles

    After entering November, after more than two months of preparation, the crew of "Screaming Scream" officially started. After watching the completed part of "Killer Leon", Ryan came over to talk to David Fincher about something. , By the way, take a look at the filming situation of the movie.


    This film can be regarded as an independent production by Jenkins Pictures, even though it has part of the investment from Drew Barrymore.


    Moreover, this guy called him several times, and it is said that he is going to play in a different role.


    The crew chose Sonoma County as the location for the filming, and leased a community activity center in a remote satellite city to serve as the main location for the film and the crew''s residence.


    Originally, David Finch took a fancy to a middle school in Los Angeles as a location. The school heard that there was a film crew to shoot on campus, or Ryan''s work, and he reached an oral agreement very happily.


    The reason is simple. First, you can get a lot of rental fees. Second, this is the work of Ryan Jenkins. You can use the hot film to promote the school, so as to increase the popularity and get more students.


    Of course, the school is not a fool, and asked to read the script first. After reading the script, the violent thriller and satire in it immediately aroused their dissatisfaction. Think about it, when the movie was released, the serial killer appeared on his own. In the school building, what kind of impact will it have on the students in school?


    As a result, David Fincher''s plan fell through, and Jules Stewart also suggested to go to Canada for shooting, because that would save money, but in the end he chose this small city in California.


    The movie¡¯s budget is only 8 million U.S. dollars, so it¡¯s natural not to hire well-known actors. Except for Drew Barrymore, all the newcomers are used. As a campus youth horror film, in addition to the necessary acting skills, most of these young people The handsome men and the beautiful women are much better than the crooked melons and jujubes in the previous life.


    "Cut! After that, take a rest for half an hour!"


    After the director shouted. Standing up from behind the camera, David Fincher still had a haze in his eyebrows. Obviously, the failure of "Alien 3" caused him to suffer some blows, although his responsibility was not too great.


    "Hey, David, it''s been a long time." Ryan walked over and shook his hand.


    "Yeah, I haven''t seen you for more than half a year, you have grown a lot...ha, it won''t be long before you can catch up with me."


    Vinci looked over. Ryan could read the emotion in his eyes. Anyway. I can also be regarded as the other side''s growth.


    "Is the shooting going well?" Ryan asked.


    "not bad."


    Ryan smiled, knowing that under his instruction, Jules has almost granted the other party the greatest authority, which will naturally make Vinci, who is restrained by the "Alien 3" crew everywhere, feel relaxed and happy. Let him flex his muscles.


    If he can make this kind of script into a cult like "Fight Club", even if it will lose money, Ryan will recognize it.


    Of course, this is just a joke. David Fincher has just experienced a tragic business failure and is definitely eager to restore his reputation.


    The two chatted a few more words, the topic is naturally inseparable from the movie, frankly speaking, David Fincher has a unique understanding of the movie''s latest chapter of the rebirth of the fat girl counterattack. Ryan can hear something from his words, but Hollywood is a reality. If you want to turn your ideas into works, you must give investors confidence.


    no doubt. David Fincher is walking on such a road.


    Then Ryan stated the purpose of coming here. He wanted David Fincher to be in charge of the "Cup of Life" mv guide, otherwise he would not make a special trip.


    David Fincher just thought about it briefly and agreed, after all, Ryan personally came to invite him, which gave him a lot of face.


    "Ryan, you are finally willing to see me."


    Hearing the voice from the other side, Ryan didn''t need to look at it. He also knew that it was Drew.


    "Stop! Drew, we''d better keep a little distance."


    Seeing the other person smiling, Ryan sternly stopped her from leaning over. He came to see David Fincher, not to see her.


    "Oh, Ryan, you really make me sad."


    "Shut up, Drew!" Ryan glared at her, and Drew had to put away his coquettish appearance, "Drew, I haven''t asked you to settle the matter the last time!"


    "Then how can you blame me..." Drew showed a timid look, his acting was really good.


    "Don''t blame you, do you blame myself?"


    Seeing that the crew was about to start up again, Ryan had to lower his voice and head towards the quiet place, "Come back in front of me in the future, can you, Miss Barrymore?"


    "Okay, okay." Drew curled his mouth and nodded, but his eyes kept rolling, wondering what he was doing again.


    The activity center where the filming is located is closed, and it is difficult to get in with paparazzi, but Ryan still keeps a distance from Drew, and God knows when this guy will be unscrupulous again.


    "You said on the phone that you changed the role?" In order not to affect the filming of the crew, Ryan tried his best to lower his voice.


    "Yes." Drew said with a grin. "I have invested so much money in this movie. Of course, I have to make sure that it will sell well."


    Ryan didn''t say anything, but made a gesture to continue. He could roughly guess which character the other party would switch to.


    "I have discussed with Director Vinci and Ms. Stewart. If I can be killed ten minutes before the opening, the audience will be shocked. This movie can also attract more people''s attention. I think it can get more attention. High box office."


    Speaking of business, business and investment, Drew no longer laughed, was serious and serious. Obviously, this decision was well thought out.


    The inertia of the wheel of history is really huge! Ryan can only feel that way. He made the movie a few years in advance, but he didn''t expect it to begin to correct itself.


    correct! Isn¡¯t the heroine still that Canadian woman? Her star-filled appearance made her look very uncomfortable in her previous life.


    "Hey, what are you thinking about?" Drew raised his chin. "How do I think about it?"


    "It''s all started, what else can I say?" Ryan rolled his eyes. Anyway, he gave the set power to David Fincher and Jules Stewart. Besides, this decision is of great benefit to the film.


    But having said that, Drew Barrymore was able to become a well-known female producer and boss, she really had a bit of brains. The place where the highest evaluation of this movie in previous lives was in the beginning was the scene where Drew was killed.


    No woman who can become famous is a simple idiot. Even if there is an idiot, there is either someone who is behind it or comes from a famous acting family. Read the full text.


    "Which one has the heroine changed to?"


    Ryan looked at a few young people on the set. They were filming a group scene and couldn''t distinguish the main and the second, but why did one look so familiar?


    "Here, that''s that one." Drew pointed to one of them.


    It was a blonde woman, she looked a bit similar to Nicole, tall and slender, even at a distance, but she could see that her face was very delicate, at least much more beautiful than the troublemaker beside him.


    Looking at the familiar face, Ryan tilted her head, and said to her heart that I had admitted wrong, right? She probably hasn''t made her debut yet.


    "Where did you find this heroine?" Ryan was a little strange.


    "I got it from the casting director." Drew shrugged indifferently. "It is said that she came to Los Angeles from New York to play, and happened to meet the casting director on the Avenue of Stars. This role."


    Ryan roughly understands what''s going on. In fact, Hollywood plays this kind of drama every day. Girls from all over the country are dressed up and wandering around on the Avenue of Stars, hoping for opportunities to fall from the sky and embark on the road to fame. .


    There are a very small number of lucky people who will be selected by some agents or crews to get a chance. Some people who are particularly lucky will become popular.


    This kind of opportunity is few and few. Most girls meet only liars. People with a more miserable fate will change their direction and enter the San Fernando Valley in the rhetoric of some people and sink into the San Fernando Valley.


    Some innocent girls think that there will be a back door to Hollywood, but that is absolutely impossible. Even if both sides are film and television industries, there is a world of difference.


    "Do you know her?"


    Seeing Ryan looking at the blonde girl with curious eyes, Drew''s thoughts began to crooked, "Should...


    "Shut up, Drew!" Knowing that he couldn''t show this guy a good face, Ryan gave her a vicious look.


    Sure enough, Drew Barrymore shrugged his nose and closed his mouth obediently.


    What is being filmed are all life-like shots, such as the life of the heroine Sidney at school, the relationship with her boyfriend, etc. Most of the scenes of the film are shot at night.


    Because the killer''s ghost face mask involves copyright, Ryan asked Jules to buy the copyright when creating the script, and there was no need to consider this issue for at least 20 years.


    "Let''s go, Ryan, I will show you to the crew of the next crew. There are many people here who are your fans."


    After David Fincher called to stop again Drew approached with a smile and a flattering voice.


    "okay then."


    Ryan followed Drew toward the actor''s rest area.


    Looking at the people Drew introduced to him one by one, these names were quite unfamiliar, and Ryan was sure that there should be no one who would become popular in the future.


    Of course, there is one exception.


    "Hello, my name is Charlize Theron, I am from New York, and I am glad to meet you, Ryan, can I call you that?" The blonde girl was generous, "Ryan, you can call me Charlie."


    "It''s also nice to meet you, Miss Theron." Ryan shook her hand gently.


    Like the other actors, Ryan simply said hello, even though he was sure that the other party should be a South African diamond.

 Chapter 140： Phantom of the Night

    "Listen, I''m going to call the police soon!"


    In the glass window on the door, the blonde girl showed the upper half of her face, and her eyes were full of fear when she looked outside.


    "It''s too late to tell them, they are too far from here."


    In order to enhance the atmosphere of the scene, an actor was standing in front of the loudspeaker, talking weirdly.


    His voice heard in Ryan''s ears, not like a perverted killer at all, but like a duck in heat.


    David Fincher made a gesture, and the camera behind the door was already shooting, and the main shot naturally moved into the room.


    "What on earth do you want to do?"


    Holding the cordless phone, the blonde turned around anxiously, tears of fear shed on her white cheeks, and she seemed to collapse at any time.


    "I want to see what the structure of your body is!"


    This sentence has a dark and cold taste, but the voice on the phone will definitely be re-dubbed during post-production.


    The blonde hurriedly hung up the phone, her body trembling in fear, tears on her cheeks filled, and she walked toward the living room with her belly in her hands, as if it would make her feel at ease.


    At this moment, the doorbell rang twice quickly.


    Like a golden silk cat with fried hair, the girl turned around in horror, and asked with a trembling voice, "Who is it? Who is... there?"


    "Cut!"


    David Fincher yelled to stop at this time, apparently Drew Barrymore had a problem again, "Drew, the fear and panic are not enough..."


    "Sorry, David."


    "Well, let''s rest for half an hour."


    This long shot has been taken several times in succession, and the crew breathed out at this time, and it dissipated like low tide sea water.


    Ryan has been standing next to the camera, looking at the camera inside, and shook his head slightly. Drew Barrymore''s chaotic life over the past few years has had a very obvious impact on her, and her acting state has declined a lot.


    She can be regarded as a person with outstanding acting talent. Coupled with the fact that a family of performing arts came from a very young age, in general, it should be more successful in the future, so that it won''t become a vase like in the previous life.


    It''s a pity that her life and that baby face limited her acting career.


    This scene is the top priority of the movie, and David Fincher''s requirements are also very strict. After more than ten times, the long shot is considered to be over.


    At this time, it was close to midnight, and the crew ended there.


    The crew rented a lot of single houses near the community center. As the residence of the crew. Enter your own house. Ryan found out that he and Drew lived in the same two-story building, and of course Julius Stewart also lived in this building.


    "Don''t be surprised, I have the best facilities here." Drew said with a grin. But the eyes are always turning around, seeming to be planning something.


    Ryan shrugged, greeted Julis, and walked directly to his room upstairs. Obviously, Drew, like David Fincher and Jules, is a privileged class in the crew.


    This is normal. It''s no surprise that what kind of status and value in Hollywood deserve what kind of treatment. Besides, strictly speaking, Drew is one of the bosses of this movie.


    In the movie, such remote towns are often places with frequent terrorist incidents, but Ryan is not worried about this. George lives next to him. Instead of worrying about this, he might as well worry about whether the troublesome spirit who lives downstairs will do something again.


    However, the living conditions here are indeed a little rudimentary. There is no bathroom in the bedroom, and it is troublesome to go to the bathroom at night.


    Although the living environment was really bad enough in the first few years of rebirth in this world, Ryan has been quite comfortable in recent years. It has to be said that it is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality.


    After clearing the bed, Ryan couldn''t help laughing at himself. Unknowingly, he had become accustomed to his current identity. Under Nicole''s unlimited pampering, he was indeed a little spoiled.


    Lying on the bed without any sleepiness, Nicole¡¯s tall figure flashed across Ryan¡¯s head, and Natalie¡¯s thin and thin appearance flashed across Ryan¡¯s head. people.


    Damn it! Ryan sat up helplessly. Could it be that the hormones in his body really started calling the police?


    Putting on his pajamas and dipping on slippers, he simply opened the door and went out, ready to go to the bathroom. The design of this house was very awkward, and he had to go to the bathroom to the first floor.


    The door next door creaked open, and then George''s figure flashed out. Ryan made a reassuring gesture to him, turned the corridor, and went down the stairs.


    After solving personal problems, when Ryan was washing his hands, he heard the sound of the door opening and closing, but he didn''t care much. This is not a horror movie. Could there be a mask killer?


    Wiping off the water stains on his hands, he walked into the living room. At this moment, only a dimly yellow table lamp exuded a feeble light, and the whole room illuminated by it was a little gloomy and gloomy, with a hint of unknown in it.


    Suddenly, a light ¡®crunch¡¯ came from the back of the high-back sofa, like a mouse stealing something, and like a human¡¯s knee touching a thick carpet.


    In the silent night, this voice was so obvious that Ryan naturally heard it.


    who is it? He frowned. Is there a mouse in the room? Or a thief broke in? I heard that many crews have encountered thieves when they were out on location. Is it possible that you are so lucky?


    Regardless of his past or present life, Ryan is a bold person. Although he has been deliberately staying away from danger after being reborn, curiosity has come up at this time, but he can''t control that much.


    Besides, since George came to his side, his exercise has not stopped, and the average adult is really not his opponent.


    Slightly slowing down, Ryan walked over to the high-back sofa, and suddenly thought of the horror film rule summarized in "Screaming and Screaming"-the person who checked the source of the noise alone would die-couldn''t help laughing.


    As he got closer and closer, Ryan keenly noticed that there was a black object behind the sofa that moved. It seemed to be something like cloth. It looked very familiar, as if it was...like a black robe...


    Suddenly, there was a terrifying laughter, and a dark figure stood up from behind the sofa, staring straight at him with hollow eyes.


    I x! Ryan subconsciously scolded a Chinese sentence, which one is this?


    The man on the opposite side was wrapped in a black robe, wearing a pointed jumpsuit and black hat on his head, and the white face of the skull covering his face was exaggerated and funny, and looked nondescript. It''s just that the long-bladed dagger held in the right hand, chilling in the dim light, made people shudder.


    This is exactly the look of the perverted killer in "Scream!"


    No way! Isn''t it true that some people have learned the methods of killing people in the movie before the shooting of the first movie is finished? Fortunately, accidentally hit by yourself?


    Ryan stopped hesitating and shouted, "George!"


    At the same time, the man in black also moved, holding a sharp knife and rushing towards Ryan, looking at the posture, it seemed that he wanted to make a few transparent holes in him.


    Dense footsteps sounded in the corridor on the second floor. Apparently George is coming.


    But the man in black rushed extremely fast. Waiting for George is not realistic. Ryan could only help himself. Just when the opponent rushed to him, he let the slashed knife sideways and grabbed the opponent''s wrist, the super girls'' school security guard.


    Why is this guy so amateur? Why not a more lethal thorn. But chop it? This is just a dagger, not a machete?


    Questions flashed in Ryan''s mind, but he didn''t think about it too much. The self-defense skills he had practiced for a long time played a role. He dragged his hands, and with the momentum of the man in black, he suddenly twisted his waist and turned, using his best back throw .


    Contrary to his expectations, the body in black is not heavy. He didn''t have much strength, and his combat effectiveness was obviously scum. Ryan easily threw it over his head and smashed it heavily on the carpet.


    After the dull sound of "bang", there was a scream from the man in black. It''s just... why is the sound so familiar.


    "Ryan!"


    George had already rushed to the stairs and saw what was happening in the living room on the first floor. He couldn''t care about anything else. He jumped directly over the stair railing and jumped down. At the same time he landed, he took an electric shock device in his hand.


    "Cough~Cough~"


    The man in black seemed incapable of getting up, lying flat on the ground and coughing constantly. It should be because of Ryan''s stubbornness.


    "Wait, George!"


    Ryan quickly stopped the bodyguard who wanted to completely subdue the opponent.


    The cough just now was obviously a woman¡¯s voice. Ryan also stepped on the sharp knife under his feet. Where is a real knife. It was clearly a prop used by the crew for shooting, but the cardboard was coated with shiny metallic paint. That''s it.


    You are so boring! Ryan cursed secretly, bent over and tore off the skull mask of the man in black, and a lovely baby face appeared in front of him and George.


    "What happened?" Jules ran out of the room with the mobile phone. "Do I need to call the police?"


    "no need."


    Ryan rolled his eyes, Julius also saw the people on the ground, and could only sigh, "This is not the first time that she has done such a prank."


    "Really?" Ryan said, this guy was not beaten to death, so lucky.


    It¡¯s just poor Miss Drew Barrymore, who was obviously stubborn by Ryan. Not only was she unable to say anything, but her face was flushed, she kept coughing, and there were a few shiny drops in her poor eyes. Tears.


    "George, pour a glass of water."


    Ryan helplessly helped Drew Barrymore on the sofa and gave her a vicious look. Fortunately, there are no outsiders in this house, otherwise it will definitely become a big Hollywood joke.


    "Cough...I, cough..."


    Drew drank the water that George had handed over Slowly passed the breath, gently stroking his thighs and buttocks, crying and saying, "I...I just want to drive with you." A joke, just to scare you..."


    "Just kidding?" Ryan looked at her up and down, making sure that the guy was not injured, and then said, "You want to make a fool of me, right?"


    Facing Ryan''s fierce expression, Drew shrank his neck, tacitly acquiescing, but said unwillingly, "Who knows that you are so courageous, you are not afraid at all, are you still a kid!"


    "bored!"


    Too lazy to talk to her anymore, Ryan turned and walked upstairs, making up his mind that apart from cooperating in the movie, it would be better not to deal with this guy, otherwise God would know what kind of prank she would engage in.


    The next day, Ryan only stayed with the crew all morning, then left Sonoma and returned to Los Angeles. Probably what happened last night made Drew Barrymore a little guilty, and he was obviously much more honest in front of him.

 Chapter 141： on the way

    New York in December is very different from the warm spring of Los Angeles. After getting off the black Mercedes provided by Miramax, Ryan tightened his short trench coat. This season, attending the movie premiere and walking on the red carpet this season, it is a pearl of suffering. Remember to read the full text.


    Fortunately, I am a man, no matter how you can wear it warmer, women will suffer.


    Of course, ninety-nine percent of women would not think that going to the red carpet is a chore.


    After a few steps, Ryan walked to the door of Natalie''s house. Before she knocked on the door and the door was opened, Mrs. Shelly greeted him with a smile and let him in.


    "Hello, Mr. Avner." Ryan greeted Natalie''s father properly.


    "Long time no see, Ryan."


    Compared with Mrs. Shelly, Mr. Avner¡¯s attitude is very average.


    Ryan knew very well that the other party had always disapproved of her daughter''s development as an actress. Not only did he introduce Natalie into this circle, he also wrote a script specifically for her, and he would definitely not be invited to see him.


    If Mr. Avner knew that he was still tempting Natalie to eat some meat, would he pick up a mop and drive me out? This is Ryan''s unscrupulous thoughts.


    "Ryan, go upstairs with me, Nat should get dressed."


    Mrs. Shelly saw something, and simply took Ryan upstairs to find Natalie.


    "Nate, have you finished changing your clothes, Ryan is here." Mrs. Shelly said after knocking on the door.


    "Come on, mom."


    At the same time as the voice sounded, the door was opened from the inside, and Natalie showed half of her head and beckoned to Ryan, "Mom..."


    "Well, I''ll go and prepare snacks for you."


    Entering the room, Ryan looked at the girl in front of her. Natalie had changed a little bit from the last time she met, a little longer and taller, and the bob''s head was replaced with curly short and medium hair. The most obvious is that there are two small bags bulging on the chest, and it is no longer the old airport.


    "Ryan, take off your coat, or you should catch a cold when you go out."


    Since the Polish party, Natalie has learned a little about Ryan''s special physique, so she has to remind her now.


    Ryan took off his short trench coat and hung it on the hanger behind the door, revealing the dress prepared for the premiere tonight.


    Men are different from women. The more solemn the occasion, the better, as always. Ryan wears a tight dark blue suit. White shirt top. It was a bow tie of the same color in the same suit. At this time, he was not only taller, but also slightly stronger. He was no longer the "bamboo pole" in Natalie''s mouth.


    "Good vision." Natalie complimented.


    "Of course. With my body shape, everything I wear is handsome." Ryan picked his chin.


    Natalie tilted her mouth, coughed lightly, and deliberately shook her back and forth in front of Ryan''s eyes. After seeing him making no response, she couldn''t help but glared at him.


    "Nate, is this your dress tonight? Who chose it?" Ryan could only ask.


    "I chose it myself, is it beautiful?" Natalie pulled her skirt and made a lady''s gift.


    "Ah... it''s beautiful."


    This is not the time to tell the truth. Ryan panicked very simply.


    Frankly speaking, Natalie''s outfit is pretty good, with short and medium curly hair combed behind her head, tied into a beautiful knot with a crystal hairpin, and a strand of brown hair hanging down her forehead. Makes the slightly rough face lines attractive, the pretty face with a light foundation highlights the youth and vitality of the girl, and the small moles on the cheeks make the whole person a little sexy.


    It¡¯s just that the dark brown tight-fitting long dress ruined this special temperament, highlighting her thin body and her skinny body, and the small bag bulging on her chest was also particularly eye-catching, especially the black leather necklace she was wearing. Silver-white sun pendant, very inconsistent with clothes


    Of course, Ryan wouldn''t say much, these words came out of his mouth, and Natalie would only think that it was deliberately making mistakes. The premiere was about to begin soon, and he didn''t want to argue with her anymore.


    "Is it really beautiful?"


    Natalie stared wide-eyed, as if she was aware of something.


    Ryan wanted to tell her that your aesthetics is really ordinary, even when you grow up, but he just nodded and said, "It''s beautiful, Nat has grown up."


    Shrugging, Natalie didn''t bother to continue to ask, sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, and starting to dress up again.


    Regardless of whether a woman is big or small, old or young, the time for makeup and dressing can be described as long. Natalie is a little better. About ten minutes later, she stood up and made a small circle in front of Ryan. .


    "Is it all right?"


    In any case, it was the first time she participated in a movie premiere, and she was on the red carpet for the first time. It was inevitable that she was a little nervous.


    "well."


    Ryan nodded, looked at the time, and reminded, "We should start."


    After speaking, I took Natalie''s brown woolen coat from the hanger and put it on the girl.


    Amidst the chuckle of footsteps, Ryan and Natalie walked down the stairs, and Mrs. Shelly looked over.


    "Nate, don''t you really need me to accompany you?" she asked caringly.


    "No, Mom." Natalie took a deep breath. "It''s Ryan and Pat. It''s not a big deal. Just go to the theater with your dad."


    "okay then."


    Although Mr. Avner is very unhappy with his daughter''s participation in the film, in any case, this is Natalie''s debut, and of course he and Mrs. Shelly will go to the premiere theater to watch it.


    As for the red carpet, Ryan is still a problem.


    "Ryan, I''ll leave Nat to you." Mrs. Shelly looked over, and Ryan showed a calm smile. "Don''t worry, Mrs. Shelly, I will take care of Nat."


    After speaking, Ryan suddenly felt that they were so uncomfortable with this question and answer?


    The black Mercedes drove off the quiet street and galloped toward Manhattan. Sitting in the car, Ryan told Natalie some precautions, the most important thing was how to deal with reporters.


    In the usual correspondence, Ryan would also chat with Natalie about this topic. She was somewhat of a refreshment, but she didn''t have the opportunity to practice.


    "After walking on the red carpet, Nat, all you have to do is smile and wave your hands around. No matter what the reporter asks, don''t answer. If you encounter someone making things difficult, just push the question to Pat."


    "What if Pat is not there?"


    "Then pretend to be dumb."


    "You are dumb. Ryan!" Natalie murmured dissatisfiedly.


    Then, Natalie showed a guilty side. After all, she was not twelve years old, no matter how clever she was, she would feel nervous when she was about to face this kind of occasion.


    "Ryan, why do I feel... my heartbeat is a little fast."


    "Because you are nervous." Ryan said unceremoniously all the way to read the full text of Taohua.


    "Nervous? I''m not nervous." Natalie denied it without even thinking about where she was willing to show weakness.


    "Really?" Ryan pulled Natalie''s wrist and placed it in front of the girl''s eyes, "Isn''t this a puppy''s paw?"


    Natalie''s little hand was clenched into a fist, and she looked at it carefully. You can also find that you are trembling slightly. It clearly reflects the master''s mood.


    "I..." Natalie was speechless for a while. Then it reflected, "You are a puppy!"


    After speaking, he rushed up viciously, opened his mouth and bit into Ryan''s face. It''s just that between the opening and closing of the mouth, something seemed to be bitten in half by her, a bit bitter and a bit sweet.


    "Hey, Nat, you stole my chocolate." What Ryan held in his hand was a chocolate bar that was one-third missing.


    "I...not." Natalie licked the chocolate scum on her lips, quickly wiped out the evidence, and hit a little bit. "It tastes good, what brand is this?"


    Strictly speaking, chocolate is also a taboo food for vegetarians, but Natalie is no longer a strict vegetarian in private.


    "Not bad, right?" Ryan took a few more from the pocket of the trench coat. She gave it to Natalie, "It''s hard to buy outside. Nicole made it specifically for me."


    "Nicole is really nice to you." Natalie murmured, but pushed the chocolate bar back, "Forget it, I don''t like it very much."


    Obviously, she was still very interested just now, and it changed in an instant. The girl''s mind was really strange. Ryan shook his head and put it away. He did this to relieve Natalie''s nervousness.


    The car has always maintained a steady speed. From the rearview mirror, you can also see Natalie''s parents'' car. As you get closer and closer to the theater, you can faintly hear the boiling sound coming from the front.


    The Mercedes-Benz car turned around and turned to the dedicated passage, waiting to drive to the end of the red carpet.


    "Thank you, Ryan." Natalie said this suddenly without thinking.


    "You''re welcome, Nat." Ryan also answered inexplicably.


    The two couldn''t help turning their heads to look at each other at the same time, with the sky-blue pupils and brown eyes showing the color that they could only understand each other.


    After the coincident smile, Natalie''s tension disappeared, replaced by excitement!


    That''s right! Ryan could feel that the girl opposite was very excited. Something that seemed to be suppressed was about to be released at this moment, and she was about to step onto a brilliant stage.


    You in this life will be more successful than you in the previous life!


    The Mercedes-Benz stopped Ryan nodded to Natalie, and when she was ready, she slowly opened the door, like a storm-like noise coming over, as if she wanted this Completely crushed young men and women.


    The sound was clearly mixed with the sound of the camera¡¯s shutter, and connected into a flash of light, which illuminated the place as bright as day. Ryan first got out of the car and beckoned to the surrounding reporters and the crowd. The right hand stretched out in the car.


    Many reporters were out of breath. They knew very well that Nicole Kidman went to Montana with the "Jurassic Park" crew. It is impossible to show up here. Who will be the person in the car with Ryan? ?


    A white and slender arm rested on Ryan''s hand. It should be the arm of a young girl. Who is she?


    Familiar reporters exchanged opinions with their eyes, but they were all at a loss, when someone suddenly came to their senses.


    "Matilda! That must be the Matilda in the movie!"

 Chapter 142： My stage

    Listening to the sound in her ears and looking at the flashing light that has never been broken, Natalie knew that they were shouting for Ryan and crazy about this famous teenager.


    What about me? This kind of fanatical shouts and cheers, that kind of strong atmosphere like a tornado, made her unstoppable intoxicated


    Now that you have embarked on this road, who doesn''t want to be a brilliant star! Who doesn''t want to be the center of the whole world! Who is willing to stay behind!


    Even if this person is his best friend!


    Looking at the hand stretched over, Natalie slowly placed her hand on it, only feeling inexplicable peace of mind, as if as long as he was in front, she would be fearless!


    Under the guidance of that hand, Natalie bent down and got out of the car. The moment she got out of the car, another familiar hand had lightly placed on the car door above her head, for fear that she would bump into it. Own head.


    Ryan is as careful as always! Natalie smiled brightly at her friend.


    "Nate, are you ready?" A faint voice rang in his ears.


    "Of course!" Natalie nodded vigorously.


    The flash is still on, Natalie can feel that many of the reporters¡¯ focus is on herself. If she was a little nervous when she was in the car, then this tension has long since disappeared without a trace. I just feel...excited!


    I have been working hard since I was four! I have set my goal since I was six! Isn''t this exactly what I want?


    Looking at Ryan''s curled arm, Natalie put her hand into his arm, doing impeccable etiquette, showing a ladylike demeanor.


    The crimson carpet is like a soft sandy beach, floating on it, always giving people an unreal feeling, as if floating in the clouds, Natalie subconsciously tightened her tight arms, Ryan seemed to have something Realizing it, she turned her head and gave her a relieved smile.


    "Nate, beckon. Look! There are your supporters over there!" The friend''s voice sounded in his ears again.


    Natalie followed Ryan''s gaze and looked at it. Indeed, many people held up Matilda''s poster and shouted ¡®Matilda¡¯ in their mouths, and even the surrounding Ryan¡¯s shouts were hidden.


    She turned around, showed a charming smile, beckoned there, and the crowd burst into greater cheers.


    It feels so good to be admired! Is this what the red carpet feels like? Following Ryan''s footsteps, Natalie thought as she walked, even if a few reporters or paparazzi asked questions, they were blocked by the other party.


    Human-shaped shield? When Natalie thought of talking on the phone. Ryan laughed at this statement. Can''t help but smile brighter.


    "Matilda! Matilda! Matilda!"


    The call is getting louder and louder. It seems to be going through Manhattan and spread throughout New York.


    Gradually, Natalie discovered something unusual, the so-called supporters of herself. Why is it called ¡®Matilda¡¯ instead of ¡®Natalie¡¯? It is obvious that the name Natalie Portman is on the poster.


    Why are Ryan''s fans completely different? What they call is not the name of any character he starred in, nor the name of his novel or song, but the almost unified ¡®Ryan¡¯!


    Soon after, Natalie made a new discovery. Most of the people holding the Matilda poster were middle-aged. In their eyes, there was clearly an emotion called fanaticism.


    how could this be? Natalie suddenly remembered what Ryan had said before, the uncle loves Loli, and the royal sister loves Zhengtai!


    God knows what Ryan has taught her!


    But... why are Ryan''s fans mostly teenagers? Natalie was a little bit aggrieved, and simply stopped looking there. Just walked along with Ryan.


    After passing the early stages of the red carpet, the closer you get to the theater, the more Ryan supporters Natalie sees. Many people hold up his various posters and shout fanatically about the counterattack of rebirth of the fat girl. .


    On both sides of a section of the red carpet near the front of the theater, except for the reporters in the interview area, almost no other people can be seen. Everyone here has one characteristic-young people! Many are even minors!


    "Ryan! Ryan!" Their shouts seemed to be able to pierce the clouds.


    Natalie''s lips pursed. It is absolutely impossible to say that she is not envious in her heart. She admits that she is a little jealous. She has known each other for three years, and has quarreled for three years. She has never lost, since she is sensible. She was the winner since the day of, and now...


    Ok! Ryan Jenkins, in any case, I always have one aspect of talent to completely overwhelm you! Natalie''s hands tightened again.


    "Did something happen, Nat?"


    "Nothing." Natalie still kept smiling.


    Watching Ryan sign autographs for fans while walking, Natalie was indifferent. She knew very well that even if she wanted to compete with this guy, it wouldn''t be now.


    As soon as she walked to the interview area, Pai Jinsli stood behind her unknowingly, and reporters ready to go surrounded her, microphones, small tape recorders, etc. almost piled up in front of her.


    "Nate, don''t be nervous." Natalie understood that this was Jinsli''s reminder.


    "Excuse me, are you Miss Natalie Portman?" a reporter asked.


    "Yes." Natalie kept smiling and nodded.


    "Can you introduce yourself?"


    Upon hearing this reporter''s question, Natalie rolled her eyes insignificantly.


    "Hey, Natalie, you and Ryan came in the same car, didn''t you know each other a long time ago?" Another reporter managed to squeeze in and asked loudly.


    "I and Ryan are friends. In fact, we met since 1989." Natalie answered casually without thinking about it.


    Have you met since 1989? Ryan hadn''t become famous at that time, right? It seems that their relationship is extraordinary! Many reporters realized that this would be big news, and then they wanted to dig deeper.


    "Okay, can you tell me something after the movie is shown? Nat, let''s go."


    Under the support of several staff members, Natalie took Ryan''s arm and walked out of the interview area.


    "Hello everyone!"


    When they came to the place where the drama group took pictures, Natalie greeted Luc Besson, Jean Reynolds, Gary Oldman, Jules and others one by one.


    After communicating in the past few years, she has always remembered some of the things that Ryan said. Networking is very important in this circle. It needs to work hard like a career.


    Talked a few words with the crew. Natalie walked to the other side and greeted the little girl with growing hair, "Hello, Scarlett, it''s been a long time."


    "Hey, Nat." The little girl was obviously happy. "I went to Long Island to find you last month, but you were not at home."


    "Sorry, Scarlett." Natalie said hello to the girl''s mother and continued. "Didn''t I leave a phone call for you? You can call first."


    "I forgot." The little girl dropped her head.


    The crew stood together. After the routine photo session. Natalie still followed Ryan and walked towards the theater. It is said that Miramax and Luc Besson invited many people to the premiere.


    "Hi, Harvey. It''s been a long time since I saw you, you are fat again."


    The person Ryan is greeting, Natalie, has seen him on set, and one of Miramax¡¯s heads, Harvey Weinstein¡¯s daughter, is coming.


    Yes, Ryan mentioned in the letter that he is very good at Oscar''s public relations.


    Thinking of the things Ryan deliberately mentioned in the letter, she was as smart as Natalie, and naturally understood that this circle was not as simple as it seemed.


    However, I was already prepared. Isn''t it?


    "Harvey, this is my best friend, Natalie Hirschle, you should know."


    Natalie could hear Ryan when she said the word ¡®most¡¯. Intentionally increased the accent.


    "Hello, Mr. Weinstein." Natalie shook hands with the fat man opposite, only to hear him say, "Natalie, your talent is so amazing, I have seen the sample, your performance is absolutely Comparable to Ryan''s performance in "Sixth Sense", I hope we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future.


    "Thank you, I think there will be." Natalie knows very well that the other party values ??herself so much, but it is based on the affection of her friends.


    Following Ryan, Natalie greeted the people he introduced one by one. She understood what he meant. This was helping her.


    Some of these people are big stars in front of the stage, but more are characters she has never heard of, such as Disney¡¯s Carter Eisner, a production manager at Warner, and Mario, a representative of Carroco Films. Casa, the head of the editing team of Universal Pictures, etc., especially a woman named Shirley Lansing, even Ryan rarely showed a very serious look when facing her.


    Although she has not actually been in contact with this circle, after all, she has a long-term correspondence with Ryan, and the two sides will naturally talk about some things in Hollywood. Therefore, Natalie understands that these are all powerful figures in the entertainment circle and have the ability to decide one The existence of the movie and the main characters in it.


    It turned out that I had fallen so far by him! Natalie has a real sense, her empty hand has been holding tightly, and today she finally stepped onto this big stage! Will definitely go further!


    Finally, Natalie followed Ryan to a man with messy hair. She knew this man. The other party was so famous, George Lucas, who was hailed as one of the four great directors in the 1980s.


    I didn''t expect him to come too! Also, it is said that his Industrial Light and Magic is cooperating with Ryan and Universal, etc. "Jurassic Park", it is not surprising that he was invited to the premiere.


    "George, this is Natalie Hurschle... Ah, it should be Natalie Portman, one of the starring actors in this movie today, my good friend."


    "Really, Ryan, this is really rare. I have never seen you have a friend of the same age." The other party seemed to know Ryan very well.


    "It''s really rare. Nat is my only friend of the same age."


    "Hello, Mr. Lucas, I like the "Star Wars" series very much!" Natalie complimented Thank you. "


    "Speaking of, George, don''t you plan to continue making "Star Wars"? We have been waiting for years."


    Upon hearing Ryan''s words, Natalie was keenly aware that he seemed to be making a horrible idea again.


    "There is this plan, but it will take a few years."


    After talking a few more words, and seeing that the time was almost the same, Natalie and Ryan walked into the theater together, their seats were in the front row, just connected.


    The light went out, and after the moment of darkness, a picture flashed on the big screen, and Natalie became uncontrollably excited, and her first movie was about to be released!


    This is my stage!


    Natalie glanced around subconsciously, my stage! I lead to the glorious stage of life!

 Chapter 143： This killer is not too cold

    The lights in the theater went out and the pictures on the big screen lit up. Ryan could feel that Natalie seemed a little nervous and excited. It was too normal. It was the first time to witness the release of a movie starring herself, even if she was precocious again. Being smart can''t help but worry about gains and losses.


    Ryan shook her hand gently, still so small, "Relax, Nat, when the movie is over, everyone will know how good you are!"


    "Thank you, Ryan."


    Natalie smiled at him, seeming to relax a lot, and then looked to the other side. Not far away were sitting her parents, and Mrs. Shelly was smiling at her.


    The picture flickered, and Miramax¡¯s film opening appeared, followed by the logo of Luc Besson¡¯s studio. Following the aerial shot of New York¡¯s Central Park, the camera was pulled into the streets of New York, browsing Brooklyn. After the streets of the district, he finally got into a shop and fell on a man with a glass of milk and disc sunglasses.


    This is Leon!


    Like most action movies, the beginning of "Killer Leon" is also a popular action scene. Under Ryan''s mischievous suggestion, Luc Besson also made a cameo, the fat gang boss.


    This is a hot and fierce gunfight, and it is also a solo show by Leon. He rushed into the gang¡¯s mansion like a ghost and used all kinds of skillful and weird methods to destroy the gang. The thugs were killed one by one.


    Through this series of fast-changing shots, the film confesses Leon''s superb skills as a killer.


    Faced with the threat of Leon coming and going without a trace, the gang boss could only ask the police for help in a funny way. When he got on the phone, he silently stretched out a hand in the dark behind and placed the knife on it. Got a plump neck.


    The killer merged with the darkness, but everything was under control. This was Leon, a taciturn killer.


    The camera shifted continuously, and quickly confessed Leon''s panorama, his perfect world in a wide black trench coat. Wearing a yarmulke and disc sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, this is still a very classic movie image even after many years.


    Of course, as Leon went to the convenience store to buy milk, the camera gave a close-up of about two seconds¡ªan advertisement.


    This movie is a scene between three people. The camera follows Leon and enters an old-fashioned apartment. In the seemingly empty stairwell, a pair of brown leather boots stick out of the guardrail of the stairs. As the lens moves up. Leggings with a cartoon pattern. The burning cigarettes sandwiched between the fingertips appeared one after another, and finally the camera was frozen on the girl with the Bobo head and her face pressed against the guardrail.


    The burning cigarette smoked from Matilda''s fingers, but never came close to the girl''s mouth. How sad will she be at this moment?


    Another main character in this play also appeared. The crazy policeman Stan wore his headphones, shaking his head, and then sniffing the girl''s father like a hound, all of which made him nervous. Show it out.


    This is a chilling character, even if he doesn''t have a gun in his hand, it will make people creepy.


    The next shot renders the other side of Leon as a killer, who likes to drink milk and personally wash the leaves of Dieffenbachia. Sitting quietly on the sofa wearing sunglasses, and watching the "Song in the Rain" with a child-like smile in an empty movie theater, all these remind people of the simple and innocent side of his heart. .


    The phone rang. Matilda pretended to be her parent, and after a conversation with the school that called for inquiries, especially after hearing her father''s evaluation of her''problem girl'', she stared desperately and coldly and said something. , "She is dead!"


    That kind of tone and expression fully expresses Matilda''s state of mind, and many people have a feeling of sadness at this moment more than death.


    Whether it¡¯s the picture of family life or the absolutely classic dialogue with Leon in the stairwell, it clearly tells the audience what kind of environment this rebellious girl lives in, and how lonely and helpless she is facing. , Even desperate, and the only thing that can bring her warmth is her young brother.


    Matilda''s father finally caused his greed to destroy the door, and Stan, the policeman, led his men and slammed the door.


    The close-up shot of Stan taking drugs at this time showed his madness even more. When he was holding a shotgun and fantasizing about Beethoven¡¯s symphony, he rushed into the apartment to kill, even Matilda was young. His younger brother didn''t let it go.


    Matilda happened to go out to buy things and escaped the disaster. When she came back, she fell into a desperate situation, especially when she saw her father fallen in a pool of blood from the open door. Clearly written with fear.


    She lowered her head and walked straight to the end of the corridor. There was Leon¡¯s room and the only way to survive. Standing in front of the door, Matilda burst into tears, pressing the doorbell desperately, praying for the door of life. turn on.


    Facing the crying girl, Leon despite some contradictions, his kind heart urged him to open the door. The moment the door opened, a bright light fell on Matilda, full of despair. Her face illuminates her dark life, and also allows her to break away from the old road and gain a new life.


    He walked through the **** house with his head down and calmly used the voice of Transformers on the TV to dispel the suspicion of the police who came to investigate. The audience gradually saw the other side of the girl, smart and quick to respond!


    In Leon¡¯s dialogue, Matilda expressed her resentment towards her family and her attachment to her younger brother, and also laid the groundwork for the girl¡¯s subsequent persistent revenge, and in some respects also foreshadows that this will be a tragedy. .


    In this way, two people who were originally unrelated to each other live together. Although Leon, who has reached middle age, is a killer, he has a gentle, kind, innocent and simple heart. Although Matilda is still young, With stubbornness and self-willedness, he has a maturity that is not commensurate with his age.


    The same people who fell into the world, living together and dying together for a long time, made two lonely and longing for warmth closer and closer, and gradually wiped out the spark of emotion.


    The relationship between Leon and Matilda is naturally not as sharp as in the previous life. Although the indecent love attracts people''s attention, it does not have any advantage for Ryan or Natalie. chapter.


    In the sensitive plots of the previous life, Ryan has undergone many operations, and the shadow of unethical love has become extremely weak. It is more of a relationship that is mixed with gratitude, fatherly love, family affection, attachment, love and other complex entanglements.


    Sometimes vague and obscure feelings can move people''s hearts even more.


    For that kind of plot that was too prominent, Ryan simply deleted it, such as the scene where Matilda dressed up as Monroe.


    This movie will still make people enjoy watching more than ten or twenty years later. Except for the obscure Lolita plot, it is the rhythm of the movie. I have to say that Luc Besson is nothing like a European director. Regardless of past life or present life, the rhythm of "Killer Leon" is handled very tightly.


    You must know that many movies in the early 1990s were slow in pace, and they will inevitably be criticized after entering the new century.


    Luc Besson was able to become the banner of French movies for no reason. Compared with those who talk to themselves and shoot things that do not know the so-called, he knows how to adapt to the market and audience.


    In the warm two-person world, Matilda¡¯s determination to avenge her younger brother still couldn¡¯t be extinguished. After finding a way to find out where the police officer Stan was, she didn¡¯t tell Leon, and chose to go to the police station alone for revenge. However, she Faced with an out-and-out madman, an inexperienced girl, what will happen to an experienced policeman is self-evident.


    Matilda was caught by Stan, and when Stan''s men questioned her, Leon broke into the police station and easily killed the two guys and rescued Matilda. However, Stan was also enraged. So, he led people to Leon''s upper home, and forced him to ask about the whereabouts of Leon and Matilda.


    At this point, the film entered the final battle. Stan led a large number of special police officers to surround the building where Leon lived. In the predicament, Leon fought against dozens of special police officers alone, although he rescued Matilda, who was captured by the special police. , But he was just a person after all, unable to fight against a large number of well-equipped special police officers. At the moment of desperation, Leon forcibly smashed through the wall and opened the vent.


    However, the ventilation ducts were too narrow to allow young Matilda to pass through. At this very likely moment of life and death, Matilda said that she would not leave Leon for anything. She knew very well that parting was almost equal to It was a farewell, but in the end, under Leon''s persuasion and coercion, Matilda left with Evergreen and the bear doll.


    Leon dressed up as a wounded special police officer, went downstairs and went downstairs, but was recognized by Stan. This crazy guy, in order to kill Leon himself, transferred all the special police guarding the passage away, alone. Hidden in the dark.


    Taking off the special police''s mask, Leon walked step by step from the darkness to the light ahead, as if as long as he walked out of this passage and walked into the sun, he would be reborn! But Stan''s neurotic face appeared behind him, along with the raised revolver.


    Leon fell in a pool of blood, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com is only one step away from the light he is looking forward to. However, before swallowing his last breath, he put the grip of a grenade into Stan¡¯s hand as a gift from Matilda, and Stan faced the imminent A bunch of grenades exploded, just cursing expressionlessly, which showed the policeman''s neuroticism and madness to the fullest.


    After the "boom" loud noise, Stan was dead, and Leon was also dead.


    He fulfilled Matilda''s wish.


    Matilda returned to school, and with the thought of Leon, buried the pot of Evergreen, which had witnessed the two people''s life and close relationship, under a tree.


    "We are safe here, Leon!" The rebellious girl returned to the mainstream.


    At the end of the plot, Ryan also made a small change, giving Matilda, a character full of rebellion, a sense of returning to mainstream values.


    The camera zoomed farther and farther, through the top of the dense woods, New York once again appeared in the picture, where the vast sea was soft.

 Chapter 144： 1 thumb

    The subtitles slowly fell, the spotlight above the head suddenly turned on, and the whole theater was silent. The audience was both surprised and wondering. What is the story of Ryan Jenkins''s new work? Middle-aged killer and little girl? The girl who played Matilda turned out to be so good...


    Ryan looked at her side. Natalie was really nervous this time. If she didn''t get the audience''s approval for the first time on the big screen, it would be no less than a disaster for her.


    The girl couldn''t help holding Ryan''s hand, and before she knew it, several long nails got stuck in his hand.


    "Smack~"


    I don''t know who it is, the first clap the palm of the hand, and the audience regains their senses. If the applause is surging like a tide, it will last for several minutes.


    Seeing Natalie who was next to her breathe out, Ryan shook her hand back, "Have you heard, Nat, these applauses are for you."


    Natalie''s nervousness disappeared when the applause rang out. At this time, her face had already changed into excitement and excitement. She bit her lower lip, as if to remind herself to calm down.


    "Good job, Nat!"


    The people who came to congratulate him rushed over, and Ryan took Natalie''s arm and stood up, and greeted the people whom he knew or didn''t know one by one.


    Among them, many people focused on the girl next to him.


    "Very wonderful story, Ryan." Shirley Lansing then looked at Natalie, "Miss Portman, your acting skills are amazing. Trust me, you get absolutely no comments. Will be inferior to Ryan in "Sixth Sense"."


    "Thank you." Natalie smiled more and more brightly.


    "Ryan, you are really amazing, this story..." Carter Eisner didn''t know what to say for a while.


    "This is just a fairy tale, Carter." Ryan shook his hand.


    "Miss Portman, take the liberty to ask, are you interested in coming to Disney to develop?" This guy targeted Natalie.


    "It''s a great honor." Natalie said politely, of course it was also a disguised refusal to read the full text of her daughter.


    Natalie''s parents also came over, mother and daughter hugged together, Mr. Avner looked at Ryan and shook his head slightly. "The movie is good, not as sensitive as I thought."


    After the movie was shown, it was naturally a press conference. When the crew walked into the news hall, the shutter sound of the camera and the chaotic noise became a continuum.


    The content of this movie is amazing. What is Ryan Jenkins thinking? Many reporters have such questions.


    All kinds of questions sounded like a continuous gun. Although Luc Besson did a very good job and was recognized by them, every place has xenophobia. He is just an outsider. Except for a few media from France. The reporter naturally focused his main target on his own person.


    "This is just a fairy tale, a story about two children, a girl and a boy, in their hearts. They are both twelve years old, and they have formed a deep relationship because they feel lost."


    Facing the question thrown by the reporter, Ryan just answered such a sentence and said nothing. The movie has already been released, so he can''t control how to interpret it.


    "Natalie, you played so well in this movie, how did you do this?"


    "Natalie, this should be your first time on the big screen. Have you studied acting before?"


    "Miss Portman, I found that you are acting almost as you are. Do you face the same situation as Matilda in your life?"


    As for Natalie, it has become another focus of firepower, which is not surprising. Unless it is a blind man, everyone knows how brilliant this girl is in the movie. They almost witnessed the birth of an acting genius with their own eyes.


    Faced with the fanatical pursuit of reporters, Natalie still maintained the calmness she deserves. Under the guidance of the female agent, she answered some questions from time to time. This smart and somewhat precocious girl experienced the red carpet and film premiere. After Ying¡¯s baptism, her mood is obviously much calmer. Even if she is facing some unfriendly problems, she can deal with it appropriately. Besides, she is still a child after all, and is protected by the Children¡¯s Law. Even a paparazzi understands that some things cannot be done. Overdoing it.


    "Ryan, Miss Natalie once said that you were friends before the film was released. You met in 1989?" The reporter obviously did not forget this topic.


    Looking at the reporter, Ryan knew very well that this kind of thing would soon be dug up by the reporter and the paparazzi. After all, it was not a secret at all. Many people in the community where Natalie lived had seen them play together.


    "Yes, Natalie is my good friend."


    "Then how do you think she performs in this movie? How does it compare to yours in "Sixth Sense"?"


    Ryan frowned, and his words were obviously provocative. These people were really afraid that the world would not be in chaos. Perhaps they were the happiest when the Third World War broke out.


    "Excellent."


    The press conference ended amidst all the disturbances. Walking out of the news hall, Ryan saw that Natalie was excited but her face was not pretty, and she obviously suffered a lot from reporters.


    However, this is too normal. If they don''t make things difficult for people, it must be the end of the world.


    "Mrs. Shelly, I returned Nat in good condition."


    In a lounge, Ryan smiled and pushed Natalie to her mother, "Nate, make a disguise before going to the street tomorrow, and be careful of causing traffic chaos on Long Island."


    There is no need for him to say a lot of things, Jinsli has already asked, and the child star is often confused by praise or criticism at the stage of just becoming famous.


    However, Ryan believes that Natalie¡¯s intelligence should be able to cope with this situation. She has dealt with this situation very well in the previous life. Although this life is more than a year earlier, her mind is stronger. I think there will not be too many problems to regenerate fat. Read the full text of the female counterattack.


    "After watching the movie, I went back to the hotel, drank a cup of coffee, and turned the lamp on. I always like to write when my memory is clear. It''s fun and dripping."


    "Playing Beethoven''s concerto, I suddenly remembered what the police officer Stan said in the movie,''Beethoven''s opening was very good and it made me feel very good, but afterwards, it started to become boring...knowing that I won''t kill you now. Is the reason?'' After the words were finished, the massacre started, and as the huge body fell to the ground, a massacre was completed!"


    ""Killer Leon", Ryan Jenkins''s first work this year, may be the only work, or a collaboration with Frenchman Luc Besson. Every role in this film is beyond It is expected to be wonderful, it does not have a lot of deep thinking, but it makes people wonder."


    "Leon, played by Mr. Jean Reynolds, is a professional killer. He is ruthless at work, and his life is extremely simple-purely like a craftsman in the Middle Ages, going out early and returning late, running for a livelihood, not so much as a man The killer, it is better to say that he himself is a kind of life-he represents the extreme side of a man, he is brutal and cold-blooded when facing the enemy, he treats meek women and delicate children but maintains the necessary rules, and his tenderness has become him. His Achilles¡¯ heel finally paid the price of his life, but he will not regret it."


    "Gary Oldman, this British actor has always been good at acting in evil roles. This time he showed the neurotic side of the villain police officer Stan to the fullest. He likes Beethoven and understands Mozart, but he is insanely cruel and indifferent. This is a set of contradictory characters. People in the same body, even when facing death, are still crazy."


    "Let¡¯s talk about another important character, Matilda. This is a precocious, rebellious, clever and even crazy girl. Although life is full of coldness, despair and pain, she cares for her younger brother and has witnessed it with her own eyes. After the family tragedy, with Leon¡¯s help, he survived strongly, but never forgot to avenge his brother."


    "The appearance of Matilda illuminates Leon''s life, and also becomes her own new life and redemption. He was changed by her, and he became her support. Two painful lives have been subverted."


    "This is Ryan''s most memorable work since "The Sixth Sense". The peculiar relationship between Leon and Matilda is even more eye-catching. I don''t know if they are counted as such. Love, at least the expression in the movie is very complicated, but love can be interpreted in this way, rather than empty oral essays, this kind of feeling may be great or eternal."


    "The performance of the three actors is so outstanding, and this alone is worth the price of the movie. The most surprising of them is Miss Natalie Portman who played Matilda. This dissatisfaction. The twelve-year-old girl is the best acting girl I have ever seen. The last time we saw a girl star perform so wonderfully in a movie, when was it? It dates back to Judy Foster¡¯s "Taxi Driver" "."


    "Since Judy Foster, there hasn''t been any girl who can perform a role close to perfection at such an age, even giving people the illusion that she is Matilda, Matilda It¡¯s her that makes people unable to distinguish each other If this movie is missing her, it will be at least half of the color!


    "After Ryan Jenkins, Hollywood is very likely to welcome another genius child actor. As long as you have seen "Killer Leon", not many people will deny this. She is totally worthy of Luc Besson. That huge casting event in New York."


    "Ryan Jenkins brought us a unique and wonderful story. Luc Besson presented a masterpiece, brought by Renault, Gary Oldman and Natalie Portman. After a great performance, "Killer Leon" definitely deserves a thumbs up!"


    - "Chicago Tribune" Roger Albert.


    Everyone knows that Roger Albert has favored Ryan Jenkins since "Terminator 2", but he did not expect him to give "Killer Leon" such a high evaluation.


    Ryan''s change of the sensitive plot in the movie obviously played a role. The slight change at the end makes Matilda, a character full of rebellious problems, with such a sense of returning to the mainstream, it will naturally win the favor of the mainstream media. .

 Chapter 145： Loli killed the killer

    In some ways, Roger Albert represents the voice of a large number of mainstream film critics, and his views will affect the evaluation of other mainstream media to a certain extent, plus Ryan is not Luc Bay Song, the latter is just an outsider to America, a European director who wants to break into Hollywood.


    The reputation that Ryan has accumulated over the past few years has also played a significant role. Even if the mainstream media will not praise it, at least it has not attacked it with fanfare like the previous life. From this perspective, it is already a victory.


    "Ryan Jenkins uses the identity of a killer to tell us an unusual relationship. It is friendship, gratitude, and a touch of attachment. It is so touching and beautiful, even though the ending of the movie is inevitable. With a tragic color, but showing a silent warmth, maybe a lonely person finds the support of his own soul, and his life will change!"


    -"Los Angeles Times" Mick Taylor


    "Killer Leon" is definitely a movie worth watching. It is the most unique work I have ever seen to describe marginal characters. Both the script and the shooting are excellent. It is almost perfect for controlling emotions. movie of!"


    -"Vanity Fair"


    The latter''s comments reflect the views of some media, and the feelings in the film will further violate the bottom line of mainstream society, and it will be boring to take a step back.


    Of course, there are also a lot of criticisms, and the "New York Post" puts a bold headline on the front page.


    "Do Leon and Matilda count as a relationship?"


    "After watching the movie "Killer Leon", many people will have this question in their minds. Although the film gives a clear answer to the above question, Leon and Matilda are more like friends and fathers. Women, not lovers, but when the audience sees them getting along, they will always have the idea of ??"evil" that they are more like lovers. Perhaps this is what Ryan Jenkins intended. Through this specious booing, Attract more audiences into the theater."


    "Matilda''s actor is Miss Natalie Portman. She is not only cute. She is also strong, cute and can melt tigers all over the world into butter, and powerful can also make all the melted butter in the world change. Become a tiger! I think such a movie character will definitely become the idol of many people!"


    The "New York Post" also represents the views of a considerable number of people, especially some middle-aged people.


    When Ryan was in and out of the hotel, he was stopped by a paparazzi, that acquaintance Garcia Rodriguez. This guy asked him for the first time, and Ryan was in a good mood, so he just said a little bit. sentence.


    "There is no love between the two of them. It is just two people who depend on each other to warm each other and attach to each other."


    It''s just surprising. The news published in the Los Angeles Liberty the next day. But it has nothing to do with the interview that Ryan accepted.


    "Killer Leon" tells the story of a killer being killed by a Lolita. In the movie, Lolita has the heart of a sister, but the middle-aged killer has a childlike heart. When evil meets innocence, cruelty hits With gentleness, the tragedy happened. Leon is romantic, but he didn¡¯t realize how difficult it was to deal with a little girl... So this movie reminds us not to provoke Lori next to him. Tower, otherwise they may take out guns to kill you at any time, or easily capture your thumping heart..."


    Originally, it was difficult for Ryan to read this news in New York. Who knew that Garcia took the initiative to find George and sent a copy of the "Los Angeles Liberty", which made Ryan feel embarrassed after reading it.


    Ok! The era of national entertainment is coming, the power of brain supplement is invincible! He can only sigh that way.


    "Right, George. Why did that guy do this?" Ryan asked naturally the paparazzi.


    "Oh... he said, the more popular you are, the more money he earns and the higher his position in the newspaper. I don''t want you to have problems." George''s face was still a little weird, obviously unable to understand the other party''s idea.


    "So..." Ryan seemed to grasp something.


    It was the weekend after the premiere. Ryan was not eager to return to Los Angeles. At this time, he would not go out stupidly to attract the firepower of the media. Anyway, asking for leave from school has become the norm. After the box office comes out in the first week, he will have a talk with Harvey Weinstein.


    Natalie in this life met Ryan at an important stage of her growth. Under his influence, there have been many changes. She hid quietly at home throughout the weekend, although the news from the newspapers made her happy. But keep a clear head.


    She hadn''t forgotten some of the things Ryan had said in her heart, and always remembered the general situation of the circle he described.


    Hollywood and entertainment media have always been tolerant of child stars, or they are good at advocating. As long as young actors can make wonderful performances, they often can¡¯t wait to put the hat of genius on their heads. When faced with difficulties in transition, they also can¡¯t wait to use the term depravity on them.


    Natalie herself has analyzed that this has something to do with the child star''s starting point is too high, the space for future growth is too narrow, and it has something to do with the unscrupulous media who continue to hype and make stars in order to attract attention.


    She doesn''t want to be a shooting star, she wants Hollywood to remember her name forever.


    On Monday morning, she put on her school uniform and carried her schoolbag as usual, and walked out of the house. Since the school is not far away, she only needs to walk.


    "Nate, would you like to take a few days off?"


    Perhaps it was Portman''s surname that played a role. No reporters have come to the door these days, but Mrs. Shelly is still a little worried. God knows if entertainment reporters will be blocked at the school.


    "No need, mother!" Natalie beckoned indifferently and turned to the road.


    Saying hello to the oncoming people, Natalie walked quickly towards the school.


    Even without this film, she is considered to be somewhat famous in this community. Most people know that there is a genius in the Herschle family, and she often performs in community theaters, which is impressive.


    "Hi, Mrs. Henry, here is a copy of the New York Times." Natalie stopped by a newsstand.


    "It''s Nat." The middle-aged woman took the change and handed over a newspaper, "Nat, your performance is really great. Yesterday I went to see "Killer Leon" and it was very exciting."


    Unlike her classmates at school, people in the community are very familiar with her, and they can naturally recognize Matilda''s actor.


    "Thank you!"


    It''s always a happy thing to be praised, not to mention that this is Natalie''s best performance.


    After putting away the newspaper, a couple walked over, and after a distance, they beckoned to her, "Natalie. Well done! As expected of the best actor in our community theater!"


    "Thank you. Mr. Wood. And Mrs. Wood." Natalie waved her hand politely. Mr. Wood is a veteran actor in community theater and once went to Hollywood when she was young.


    "Nate, you are now a big star. You have done what we didn''t do when we were young." Mrs. Wood was a little embarrassed in her words, and even a little bit of envy in her eyes. She wanted to be a big star when she was young. .


    "Thank you!"


    Like most people in the West, this proud girl is not very humble. After receiving the praise, she waved goodbye to them.


    The way to school today has become the way Natalie has greeted the most people in her life. She knows or the other person knows her. They all took the initiative to greet her, mention "Killer Leon", and said compliments.


    Is this what it feels like to be famous? Is this the feeling of a star? It seems really wonderful...


    Natalie was a little bit intoxicated and enjoyed this feeling very much. She was not yet twelve years old after all. Cleverness and precociousness still carry innocence.


    "Hi, Natalie."


    When approaching the school, a few classmates chased up from behind. Natalie looked back and found that it was a few people of the same level who were not familiar.


    Frankly speaking, she is not popular in school. As an overly smart child, she is often rejected and ridiculed by people around her.


    These people don''t even count as an acquaintance of nodding, so why do they take the initiative to say hello?


    "Natalie, is it you the girl in "Killer Leon"?" a boy asked.


    Although the other party was questioning, she had clearly confirmed it, and Natalie rolled her eyes to herself and nodded helplessly.


    "Wow, I didn''t expect our school to have a big star!" Several people screamed.


    "Natalie, have you been to Hollywood? How many celebrities have you known? If you play a role next time, can you take me... You know, I have the best acting skills in the school troupe, is there any one that suits me? Character¡­¡­"


    It was a girl who was talking about a school star. At this time, instead of using her nostrils to see people, she whispered around Natalie.


    "Sorry, there are not many stars I know. As for the roles, it is the producer and director who have the final say..."


    Before Natalie finished speaking, she was interrupted by several other people, "Natalie, the newspapers say that you and Ryan are good friends, isn''t it true? That''s Ryan!"


    "Yes." Natalie has seen too much of this situation this year.


    "I heard that Ryan is in New York, can you bring him to our school..." More people shouted, "Or take us to meet him..."


    Is he so good? Natalie murmured to herself, but she didn''t say it cleverly. Fortunately, the school was here.


    But Seeing more than a dozen guys holding cameras at the school gate, Natalie understands that the real trouble has just begun.


    Sure enough, before she could sneak into the school, she was spotted by sharp-eyed reporters. They swarmed over like flies smelling blood.


    "Natalie, are you studying in this school?"


    "Natalie..."


    Damn it! Natalie was helpless and couldn''t help but remember the scene when she laughed at Ryan.


    "Are you Natalie''s classmates?" A reporter cleverly approached a few people around, and it was easier to get strong information from the classmates.


    "Interview me, interview me, I''m Natalie''s classmate, I''m Natalie''s friend..."


    "Natalie, I''m a reporter for the New York Post. I don''t know what you think about Miss Liv Tyler''s remarks about the audition for "Killer Leon"..."


    A reporter''s question attracted Natalie''s attention. (m)

 Chapter 146： Hype and self-hype

    While Natalie was sitting in the classroom and looking at the "New York Post" given to her by the reporter, in the hotel suite, Ryan was also looking at the same newspaper. His face was calm, only slightly A mocking smile.


    "Shameful indecent love!"


    This is the title of the article, which directly defines the film. It is very shocking, but Ryan is just looking at it as a joke... Well, every issue of The New York Post is actually a complete collection of American jokes.


    "... Although the film is concealed, it clearly praises the love affair between the killer and the underage girl. This is a very immoral practice. Such films should be restricted. In addition, there are several minors in the film holding guns. I don¡¯t know how mpaa passed the review. Such a movie should be rated as -17. It should not be placed in a movie theater and watched grandiosely. This is a challenge to the value orientation of the United States!"


    "We don¡¯t understand why Ryan Jenkins, as a young genius, a Hollywood gold-medal screenwriter and famous child star, chose such a sensitive subject? Could it be said that his past achievements have gone to his head, or he Don¡¯t understand what social responsibility is? No matter how outstanding the film is, it¡¯s a shame!"


    There are a hundred Hamlets in the eyes of a hundred people, and the tabloids will naturally look at this movie with the worst eyes. The New York Post always likes to antagonize it, not attacking "Killer Leon", it is strange not to attack itself.


    Ryan was still wondering why the "New York Post" had been so quiet for two days. It turned out that the reaction was a little slower.


    It''s better now, the sky is blue, the light is brighter, the air is fresher, the tabloids are spraying manure, and the world is back to normal.


    Anyway, I''ve long been used to it, and Ryan won''t care. Now he has neither the ability nor the energy to care about these trivial things. Just keep an account in mind.


    As for restricting the movie or dropping it early, the New York Post can only clamor. If there are not enough excuses, even the federal government can''t drop the movie at will.


    It may not be too difficult to downgrade an unpopular movie, but to force a popular movie to downgrade, it requires persuasive reasons.


    Behind the big hit movies, what is involved is not only the interests of the producers, but also the interests of the theater chain, and the interests of advertisers. It represents more than just the box office.


    As long as you can benefit from "Killer Leon". The media group that controls the theaters will ignore those clamors. In the eyes of capitalists, banknotes are the cutest things.


    Ryan took the first week''s box office statistics sent by Harvey Weinstein and looked at the numbers on it and couldn''t help laughing. Without wasting my own modification.


    On the first Wednesday, more than 2500 theaters were released, with a North American box office of 30.44 million U.S. dollars, firmly sitting on the top of the weekly box office rankings, not only surpassing the North American box office total of the previous life, and even catching up with the global box office.


    "Killer Leon" is indeed a classic, but the previous life is not very successful in North America. The investment of about 20 million only returned the North American box office of less than 20 million US dollars. Fortunately, this theme is very popular in Europe and the Far East. . This finally won the global box office of more than 45 million U.S. dollars.


    Now that I have joined, the fate of this movie has been changed.


    Of course, it''s not just movies. As far as Ryan knows, Miramax has already contacted the manufacturer. Evergreen, bear dolls, yarmulke, Matilda''s costumes, and the classic pendant, etc., have all been developed into peripheral products.


    Harvey Weinstein even contacted Surprise, planning to publish a comic version of "Killer Leon". Unfortunately, Surprise is in trouble now and has no energy to take up this business.


    Just like other hot movies, this is a whole chain of interests that affects the whole body.


    Ryan knows very well that he is now a minor and his own strength is limited, and being able to receive the attention and invisible care of the giants is nothing more than providing them with huge benefits, and he has been working hard to tie the allies in the same battle of interests. In the car.


    However, seeing the following news, Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head. As expected, the woman who had become famous in her previous life didn''t have a simple thing.


    "Recently, the reporter got news that Miss Liv Taylor, who participated in the audition for "Killer Leon", claimed that the massive audition was just a hype and there was serious injustice. The person who originally won the role of Matilda would be She did not expect that it was Miss Natalie Portman in the end, and there was a black box operation in it..."


    "The following are the original words of Miss Liv Taylor-on the day the second audition ended, when I was dining in an Italian restaurant, I saw Ryan Jenkins and Natalie Portman. They sat together and talked and laughed. Laughing, it¡¯s obviously not what I just met. It should be an old friend. Natalie¡¯s mother and Ryan¡¯s agent were sitting together. They were celebrating. I was disappointed at the time. I thought it was fair. The audition, I didn¡¯t expect it to be such a result..."


    "Ryan Jenkins is known as a role model for all American teenagers. He was also my idol before, but this approach is very disappointing. This audition is just a show he used to hype. I regret participating in such an audition very, very much. , Natalie Portman shouldn¡¯t get so much praise, she got this role by shameless means, and the Screen Actors Guild should investigate this..."


    "I am a model. I had the opportunity to be an actor, but now I can only play mv. This is not fair, and it is not fair to all the girls who participated in the audition..."


    Is it really an injustice? It''s just a self-hype. Ryan simply threw the newspaper aside, and as his fame became more and more popular, there would be no less hitchhiking things in the future, just ignore it.


    Is the fairy princess really innocent? That''s just the image in the movie. Maybe people don''t know it now, but Ryan knows that this girl has been living in such a complicated circle since she was a child. Will her mind be simple?


    Of course, her hype belongs to the hype, as long as she doesn''t touch the bottom line, Ryan will only be ignored.


    However, he didn''t care, but someone did. At noon, Natalie called.


    "Ryan, how can Liv Tyler say that? I greeted her when I auditioned. You should know that I got this role by my own strength!"


    "Hey, Nat, won''t you be so excited?" Ryan persuaded.


    "My acting really can''t deserve so much praise? Or is her acting better than me..."


    Acting? Ryan rolled his eyes, Liv Tyler''s acting... well, it''s sunny today.


    "I got the role of Matilda by disgraceful means. What disgraceful means did I use? We are good friends, but the person who decided this character is Luc Besson." Natalie was completely venting. Dissatisfaction in the heart. "Ryan, if I want to do something, she is also criticizing you."


    "No, Nat." Ryan said after thinking about it, "Remember the self-hype thing I mentioned to you?"


    "You mean..."


    "Yes, Nat, ignore it. Also, do you think her opinion is important, or the opinion of mainstream media and well-known film critics is important. They almost praise you by all accounts. Don¡¯t forget, even God can¡¯t win Everyone likes it."


    "I understand." Natalie was very smart and soon recovered her calm.


    I have to say that Ryan has a great influence on her. The little girl''s heart is far stronger than that of her previous life. After a moment of anger, she can restore her calm mind.


    "Yes, there is one thing, I... I don''t know who to tell." Natalie seemed a little hard to say.


    "What happened, Nat?" Ryan frowned. "Could it be that the paparazzi made things difficult for you?"


    Probably not. Both she and Jinsli have taught her a lot in this regard, and Natalie has already been mentally prepared.


    "Just now when get out of class was over, I found a letter in the locker."


    "Believe?" Ryan tightened the microphone.


    "Yes, a letter written by a man is full of dirty language. I miss your tender body and want to..."


    Although Natalie didn''t go on, Ryan guessed the following. The person who wrote the letter was probably a lo*ic*n.


    "What should I do?" Natalie is still a child after all.


    Ryan scratched his head for a while. He remembered clearly that in her previous life, Natalie had encountered this kind of experience, but now this person is most likely from her school. It is easy to deal with just harassment, if it is John Hin. Like Klee...


    After patted his head, Ryan scolded himself again and started thinking about it, and quickly said, "Well, Nat, you can ask for leave for the time being. Anyway, I will go to France to participate in the promotion in a few days."


    "okay then."


    After hanging up the phone, Ryan sighed. The circle was disturbed. It is not easy to protect the people you want to protect, maybe more actions should be taken.


    Money and time! Ryan covered his forehead. This is what he needs most. Money represents a powerful capital in this country, and time can make him grow up!


    Tabloid hype is sometimes a bad thing, and sometimes a good thing. It can keep the topic and popularity of the film enough, and it can attract people''s eyes continuously, thereby boosting the box office.


    Even some hype is that Miramax is behind it. The entertainment industry has developed to the present, and publicity has become more and more important. Sometimes it can be equated with box office numbers.


    Before going to France, the crew also accepted an interview with the TV station. When the host asked about it, Ryan made no secrets.


    "Natalie is my best friend. We have known each other since 1989. Although she was in New York and I was in Los Angeles, this did not affect our relationship. In fact, we communicate with each other at least once a week, twice. The above call."


    "Some people questioned the audition. What I want to say is, after watching "Killer Leon", how did you feel about Nat''s performance? I think it''s too good to be described. She is my Matilda!" (m )

 Chapter 147： Strive for

    ps:


    ¡­Chapter 14 is here, please subscribe Ask for a reward! Seeking recommendation! Ask for a monthly pass!


    "Hi Harvey,"


    Ryan let the big fat man into the living room of the suite. What he didn''t expect was that there was another person behind him, a middle-aged woman.


    "Ryan, don''t you welcome me?"


    Tina Brown beckoned him, her short blonde hair and neat professional suit looked extremely capable.


    "Of course welcome, please come in Ms. Brown." Ryan quickly made a please gesture.


    "You can call me Tina."


    "Well, Tina, and Harvey, please sit down."


    Glancing at the big fat man, the other side gave Ryan a look that you understand.


    Harvey Weinstein can become the **** of public relations in the future, causing so many Oscar murders, but it is not only related to the academy, but also essential to the mainstream media. It seems that Tina Brown should take the initiative to look for it. Up him.


    Just what does this woman who is good at hype and propaganda come to ask for? Could it be that the old thing is brought up again?


    "Ryan, I heard that the contract between you and "Alien" will expire at the end of the year. Hasn''t it been renewed yet?"


    Westerners speak straightforwardly. After serving coffee, Tina Brown said her intentions.


    "Yes, but the Harry Potter series will continue to work together."


    Although this news is secret, for some people, it is no different from a lice on a bald head.


    "Oh~"


    Tina Brown seemed disappointed.


    Ryan knows very well that behind Vanity Fair is the Newhouse Group, one of the giants in the publishing industry.


    However, he is not ready to end the Harry Potter series and "Alien" cooperation, which involves too many things, he does not have the mind and energy to find a new owner for this book.


    Since the second half of the year, Pai Jinsli has held many negotiations with them, and the conditions they have won are good enough.


    "What about the other aspects?" Tina Brown''s eyes flashed.


    "Except for Harry Potter, I am not going to sign any other contracts." Ryan waved his hand and said.


    "If you can. How about opening a column in Vanity Fair? Just write essays, novels, and reviews." Tina Brown was like a female wolf at this time. "Of course, if you want to serialize novels like Harry Potter or Jurassic Park, we welcome them even more."


    The corners of Ryan''s mouth trembled. "Vanity Fair" has been watched a limited number of times. I really don''t remember the serialization mentioned above.


    "How about, Ryan?" Tina Brown asked.


    No wonder she is so enthusiastic. Since the last Oscar party, she has listened to Ryan''s opinions and held several special parties in the name of Vanity Fair after the White House press conference. The effect was not so good.


    This woman really never forgets to promote "Vanity Fair"! Ryan can only sigh with emotion. "Let''s do it. Tina. I will give you an answer before returning to Los Angeles."


    Seeing that Ryan hadn''t refused, Tina Brown''s face was already smiling. In other words, she was going to prepare for negotiation with Pie Kingsley when she went back.


    Ryan really intends to respond. This magazine has a huge influence in mainstream circles and will have many benefits in the future.


    Tina Brown is a typical strong woman in the workplace. After the official talks, he saw that Harvey Weinstein should have something to talk to Ryan, so she quickly got up and left.


    "This woman is not ordinary, Ryan. Having a good relationship with her will help you and Nicole."


    Sending away Tina Brown, Harvey Weinstein said. After several years of cooperation, there is some friendship between the two sides.


    "Yeah." Ryan nodded and said casually, "Harvey, the new awards season is coming. Any plans?"


    In the past few years, Harvey Weinstein''s public relations ability has soared, and sometimes he wonders whether this guy will make a **** case in advance.


    "The point is "Yihai Xiongfeng". There should be hope of being nominated for best film. Jack Nicholson is in the best supporting actor in public relations. I have already reported Nicole''s best supporting actress." Harvey Weinstein asked back, "What are your plans, Ryan?"


    Ryan didn''t answer, went into the bedroom, took out the "Sugar Coated Trap" script from his backpack, took it to the living room, and handed it to Harvey Weinstein.


    "This is adapted from a novel. The copyright of the film is in my hands. Like "Yihai Xiongfeng", it is a lawyer theme. I have written all relevant suggestions in it."


    This script can be called the "Sixth Sense", Ryan wrote the most laborious script. Not only did he search for many law books, he also accelerated the pace of the movie a little bit, and the bugs in it were also changed a lot.


    The script produced by Ryan Jenkins, plus the recommended actors and suggestions written in it, is now almost equal to a box office guarantee.


    Harvey Weinstein¡¯s eyes lit up. In his opinion, even European directors like Luc Besson could produce excellent commercial films after accepting Ryan¡¯s advice, not to mention the degree of commercialization. Higher Hollywood.


    "One of the supporting actresses is specially prepared for Nicole, I have specified." Ryan reminded.


    "no problem."


    Then, Harvey Weinstein looked at Ryan, there is no free lunch in the world, everyone understands this truth.


    "If you can, Harvey, guarantee Nicole''s nomination for Best Supporting Actress in "Yihai Xiongfeng"." Ryan slowly tapped his fingers and paused for a while before saying, "Nate is nominated for Best Supporting Actress. , Is there any hope?"


    "It''s very difficult." Harvey Weinstein said bluntly. "The subject matter of the movie is a bit troublesome."


    "Fight for it, can you, Harvey?" If there is no difficulty, why should Ryan find him, "It''s just a nomination."


    "Ryan, if there is no accident, Nicole can be nominated for the second best supporting actress, this award we can..."


    "Harvey, I don''t know much about public relations, but the qualifications are also an important part of it." The meaning of Ryan''s words is already obvious, "Although Nicole is now a first-line actress, I want to accumulate enough Isn¡¯t the qualifications necessary?"


    Harvey Weinstein smiled. The little guy on the opposite side...No, he should be regarded as a powerful figure in Hollywood. He has set the direction for Nicole Kidman long ago-the highest peak of the smooth star road.


    Others say that Ryan Jenkins met Nicole Kidman because it was his luck. She helped him get rid of the dark life. But in the eyes of the person who has worked with him the longest time, the truth is just the opposite, Ryan Jenkins. From the day of writing. The road to be taken in the future was designed. Nicole Kidman was the one who had been blessed by God, and lucky enough to retrieve Ryan from the Avenue of Stars.


    "Well, Ryan, I tried my best, but I can''t guarantee." Harvey Weinstein said.


    "Necessary expenses can be found in Pat." Ryan knew very well that even if this matter was handled by Harvey Weinstein a few years later, it would still be quite difficult.


    Harvey Weinstein has long regarded Ryan as his peers, and the number of times he has cooperated with each other is so high that some things are naturally tacitly tacit.


    Send Harvey Weinstein away. Ryan''s things in New York are also considered complete. Packing away his belongings. Ready to return to Los Angeles.


    Helping Natalie to win a nomination for best supporting actress can also be regarded as fulfilling a wish for her. Even if it seems unlikely at the moment, it is always a try.


    Leaving New York in the crew. After going to Paris and embarking on a European propaganda tour, Ryan also returned to Los Angeles.


    He heard a lot of news from Europe. It is said that "Killer Leon" was released hotly. After winning the first week of the North American weekly box office rankings in the first week, many European media and filmmakers rejoiced and thought it was a successful counterattack in European films. , Hollywood is nothing great.


    As for the Americans'' praise of this film as the work of Ryan Jenkins, the main investor is Miramax. They were subconsciously ignored, and they also ignored the reality of film commercialization.


    That''s not right. After all, "Killer Leon" has not yet been released on the European continent. I just don''t know what European filmmakers who pursue ¡®artistic¡¯ will feel after watching it.


    Maybe you will curse what the screenwriter wrote. Why is there no real love between Leon and Matilda!


    Of course, the version released outside of North America is Luc Besson¡¯s director¡¯s cut version, which includes some plots of Leon and Matilda¡¯s life, as well as scenes of her following him to observe killing techniques. These may appear in the United States. Will attract criticism, there is no such problem in Europe.


    Before returning to Los Angeles, Ryan gave a reply to Vanity Fair and had a phone call with Tina Brown, and within a few days, Pai Jinsli negotiated terms with the other party.


    "Vanity Fair" focused on this news in the next issue of the magazine, and also introduced Ryan''s past. This is a win-win thing for both Ryan and "Vanity Fair." Sales rose by nearly five percentage points.


    As for what to write, it couldn''t be easier for Ryan, who is familiar with the general trend of future movie development. Over the years, he has copied such a large number and scale of things, and he has already practiced writing and writing. UU reading www.uukanshu.c¨®m


    Ryan doesn¡¯t comment on other movies. He is not a professional film critic, and he doesn¡¯t do things that invite people to hate. Besides, if it doesn¡¯t work, just make a few novels. After the short story is written, he¡¯ll make a long series. Anyway, the English translation series of novels that I have read in previous lives are not just Harry Potter.


    In a blink of an eye, 1992 was about to pass. Ryan found that he had been busy for a year, and there were not many works. The only movie released was "Killer Leon" and his solo album "Ryan Jenkins" was released. In addition, there are two books, one Harry Potter and one "Resident Evil" which was criticized by book critics.


    Next year will be the most important year, "Jurassic Park" will be a strong hit, and even "True Lies" and "The Lion King" may be released, and it is bound to be a bumper year.


    In addition, I don''t know if Steve Jobs will have blood in his heart after the new year''s losses come out. As long as he sells again, he must try to buy Pixar.


    Scott Swift has been preparing for this for a long time, as long as the funds are in place...


    Ryan couldn''t stop the headache, saying that the problem of money is the most prominent and most important. (m)

 Chapter 148： Vacation

    Amid the roar of the huge engines, the Boeing airliner broke off the runway, rushed into the sky, and flew into the route to Sydney.


    This is the first time Ryan has travelled to Australia, and he was a little curious about this kangaroo kingdom. He sat on the chair in the first class cabin and kept flipping through the travel magazine he bought before boarding the plane.


    "Would you like something to drink, Ryan." Nicole Kidman asked, sitting next to him.


    "Being not."


    Christmas is coming soon. For Westerners, this is one of the most important holidays.


    Just a few days ago, after five months of arduous shooting, "Jurassic Park" was officially closed. This movie has a higher budget, longer shooting time, and more sophisticated production.


    Industrial Light and Magic has completed some late-stage cg special effects, Ryan tried it and it was very good.


    After such a long filming, Nicole plans to take a good rest and simply take Ryan back to Australia to spend this Christmas.


    Although Nicole''s parents died young in this life, Ryan knew that she also had a sister in Australia, and she was invited by the other party when she went back this time.


    In fact, after Ryan and Nicole talked about it, they learned that Kidman is a very prominent family in Australia and owns vast private land.


    Speaking of Sydney, people often think of the Opera House and the bridge first, but in Ryan''s unscrupulous memory, they think of spiders, which are known as the deadliest poisonous spiders in the world.


    "Nicole, I heard that there is a funnel spider in Sydney. After biting someone, it can kill someone in 15 minutes?" Ryan raised his head and asked.


    "That''s right." Nicole nodded, clearly knowing what he was thinking, "Ryan, stop your cranky thinking, I have only seen this kind of spider in a museum."


    "Oh." Ryan seemed to think of something else, "I heard that there is another kind of poisonous snake in Australia..."


    "Ryan, shut up!" In the staring eyes of Nicole Kidman. Ryan closed his mouth obediently, "Well, I''ll sleep for a while."


    After the plane arrived in Sydney, Ryan experienced a momentary transition from winter to summer. He changed into short-sleeved sweatpants and got a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. He dragged his and Nicole¡¯s luggage and walked outside the airport.


    The Australian girl has long put on a light-colored dress. In addition to the essential sunglasses, she also wears a wide-brimmed sunhat on her head. Most of his face was blocked. In this country. She is more famous.


    Fortunately, this is early summer. Although the weather is a bit sultry, it has not yet reached the unbearable level, and has just walked out of the airport corridor. Ryan saw a brown-haired woman approaching.


    She was a little shorter than Nicole Kidman, and she was somewhat similar in appearance. Ryan had seen her picture, and it was Nicole''s sister Antonia Kidman.


    "Annie, this is Ryan."


    After the two sisters greeted each other, Nicole introduced Ryan to her sister.


    "Hello, Miss Antonia, nice to meet you."


    "Hello, Ryan. Are you really only twelve years old? So tall, not like Huadu Bingxiong at all."


    "Actually, I will be thirteen in a few days."


    Several people were talking and laughing, and got into the car that Antonia drove, in Ryan''s opinion. The journey was not bad, at least it didn''t disturb reporters and paparazzi.


    The car did not drive to the hotel, and went straight to the outskirts of the city. This is one of the houses left by Nicole¡¯s parents. It has a little classical English style. Not only does it have a grassy front courtyard, there is also one that is not very Large back garden.


    Even though Antonia Kidman has a boyfriend, she is not married and lives here, but Nicole''s room has been kept.


    "Ryan, bring up the salute."


    On the second floor, Nicole''s shout came. As there was no bodyguard and assistant, Ryan could only work part-time as a coolie.


    Nicole¡¯s suitcase is not heavy, and it¡¯s just some clothes inside. Ryan is different. The handwriting and easel and other tools are quite heavy. Fortunately, he is strong enough to carry it upstairs. .


    "This is your room." Nicole walked into the room opposite, turned her head and said to Ryan, "Need my help, dear?"


    "No, I think you and Annie must have a lot to say? I won''t bother you."


    When Nicole walked out of the room, Ryan simply tidied up and bowed, and simply plunged his head on the bed, falling into the jet lag.


    When I woke up this night, the sun was dim and it was about to set. After taking care of some personal problems, Ryan went downstairs and found that there was no one in the room. There was a message note on the table in the living room, but it was Ni. But she went shopping with her sister.


    Two days later, it was Christmas, and now it was time for the big purchase. Ryan shook his head and entered the small garden through the back door.


    Australia is vast and sparsely populated. Even in a big city like Sydney, people with a small amount of assets will often have a good independent residence. Although Antonia said that this is just a small garden, in fact, Bi Ryan and Nicole The home in Los Angeles is bigger.


    After walking around in the garden a few times, Ryan was quite boring. To put it bluntly, he is a layman in his past or present life. It is really difficult to find special beauty in the natural environment.


    "Ryan~"


    I don''t know how long it took, Nicole''s shout came from the house, and Ryan responded loudly, "I''m in the garden."


    "Well, Annie and I will call you after we are ready for dinner, not to make trouble."


    The words that came made Ryan couldn''t help but blacken his face. Is he so unreliable? Even if there are occasional words that are out of place, most of them are just talking. When have they been practiced?


    If I was so unreliable, the old pervert named Joseph Blatt had already entered the Atlantic Ocean as a fish food. Ryan thought angrily.


    In the spacious kitchen, Nicole and Antonia are busy for dinner, and Antonia can''t help but feel a little surprised watching Nicole skillfully handle the ingredients and make delicious foods.


    "Nicole, when did your cooking become outstanding?" In the past, when Nicole came back, both of them went to the restaurant to eat.


    "It has always been outstanding."


    "Come on, Nicole, before leaving Australia, the food you cooked can even kill rats." Antonia revealed mercilessly.


    "Ryan likes to eat the food I personally make. After a few years, the craftsmanship will naturally improve."


    Nicole said indifferently, but Antonia was a little curious, "By the way, Nicole, you really picked Ryan back from the Avenue of Stars? Why didn''t I have such good luck."


    My sister¡¯s words made Nicole think about the encounter between the two on the Avenue of Stars. Whether it was Ryan she picked up or Ryan chose her, she has never wanted to understand it yet. Perhaps this is the destiny of fate and God. Read the full text against his willingness.


    "Who knows." Nicole smiled sweetly.


    "Nicole, I am optimistic that many entertainment reports say that you are very likely to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress again next year at the Oscars, is it true?"


    "Before the nomination is announced, any possibility will appear... Well, Ryan is cooperating with Miramax in public relations."


    "He?" Antonia became more curious. "He will be thirteen in a few days..."


    "Anne, Ryan is far more mature and smarter than the media described. What do you think I have developed so smoothly in Hollywood over the past few years?" Nicole is not confused, on the contrary, she is very smart, even though Ryan has never been confused. Not to mention, why would she not understand.


    "That circle is much more complicated than here..." Nicole shook her head. She knew that Ryan had kidnapped many alliances with common interests.


    "Nicole, if you are nominated again, don''t you plan to fight for the best supporting actress figurine?" Antonia asked concerned.


    "The necessary publicity and public relations will still be done, but Ryan said, it is still the stage of accumulating qualifications..."


    Listening to her sister''s words, Antonia gradually tasted something else. First, Nicole seemed to have changed a lot after not seeing her for more than a year, especially Ryan was always inseparable from the words, and the second was to accumulate sufficient qualifications. , What to strive for?


    Best actress! Antonia can only think of this answer.


    Are they so confident? Antonia was a little skeptical at first, and then thought of what the boy in the garden had done in recent years, and immediately realized that it was only a matter of time before her sister got the best actress.


    Nicole''s luck is so good! She could think so at this time.


    The dinner is not very hearty, but what Ryan puts in front of him is his favorite food, of course, there are essential beans.


    While waving a knife and fork, the three of them talked, talking about everything, and talk about it wherever you think.


    "For food, British cuisine has a certain history, but I don''t like it." Ryan is commenting on several famous cuisines. "British cuisine is too sweet to suit my appetite. French cuisine is very Exquisite, so exquisite that it can only be tasted and not enough to eat. In contrast, I still like Italian food more, and of course pizza is not included."


    "He doesn''t like pizza, and fast food like burgers." Nicole said with a smile.


    "My favorite is still Chinese food." Ryan Gulily recommended a lot of dish names.


    "I''ve eaten in Chinatown It doesn''t feel too special." Antonia frowned.


    "What you have eaten is all westernized Chinese food."


    "My dear, we can''t enjoy those authentic Chinese dishes." Nicole laughed at this moment. "The Mapo tofu you recommended me to eat last time is called this name? Oh, God, After only a few mouthfuls, I can''t feel my mouth."


    Ryan and the others laughed. After living in North America for so many years, he didn''t know that there are very few Westerners who can eat authentic Chinese food.


    "Nicole, and Ryan, if you can, can you accept an interview with my show?"


    Antonia Kidman is a host of a TV station in Sydney. Although not as famous as her sister, she is still a small one.


    "Forget it, Annie, we are back for vacation, not for work." Maybe it was my sister who made the request. Nicole thought about it for a while, "I''ll talk about it after Christmas, okay?"

    The next day, after exercising early in the morning, Ryan was busy. Since Christmas is here, how can he also arrange some arrangements. Fortunately, it didn¡¯t take long for Antonia Kidman to find one. Coolie, her current boyfriend.


    "Hello, Ryan, I didn''t expect to see you here."


    The person shaking hands with Ryan is a young white man in his twenties, with a gentle and humble attitude, but his occupation is somewhat sensitive to Ryan, a reporter.


    "Hello, Mr. Claude, then... I''ll leave it to you."


    Ryan was not at all polite to him, and pointed very simply to the living room and the Christmas tree on the other side.


    "no problem."


    It was a good coolie. Ryan clapped his hands and sat on the sofa in the living room, watching the man who was directed by the two women jump up and down, and he couldn''t help feeling like watching a stage play.


    Before Christmas, there were only two people, Ryan and Nicole, who were not too concerned about this kind of thing. They just gave each other a small gift and had a good Christmas Eve dinner.


    Even, sometimes I have to attend some dinner parties, busy with the work at hand.


    There are more people, naturally there will be more lively. A Christmas tree with a height of one person stands in the living room, with colorful lights shining dazzlingly, and under the tree there is white snow dressed in cotton, and many gift boxes are buried in it.


    Christmas in the northern hemisphere is often inseparable from ice and snow. Unfortunately, Sydney is in early summer. It is the early summer season, so it is difficult to see snowflakes... well, it''s too difficult.


    Even so, through the window, Ryan still saw a few Santa Clauses walking down the street, distributing gifts to the children coming and going. They were just wearing red clothes with a beard and sweating like rain. It¡¯s true. It''s weird.


    Among them, there is another kind of Santa Claus wearing sunglasses, shorts and topless. This kind of sight is really strange.


    "It''s nothing. If you go to the beach now, you can see a lot of Santa Claus surfing." Claude introduced Ryan to some anecdotes about Australians celebrating Christmas.


    "In Australia, the best Christmas gift that parents give to their children is a small water paddling. Surfing in the sea on Christmas is a custom. Many people choose to have a picnic on Christmas Eve. After eating and drinking, they will jump up. Disco or kangaroo dance. If you are tired, just lie down on the grass to sleep."


    "Christmas in summer is really special." Ryan was blowing the cold air from the air conditioner, feeling really strange.


    For Ryan. It''s like celebrating the Spring Festival under the scorching sun. In the previous life, which time the Spring Festival was not in the shivering winter, withstood the test of ice and snow.


    "Well, you two don''t talk about it. Our dinner party is about to begin, hurry up and set it up."


    Antonia except for her boyfriend. Some single men and women were also invited, not many people came to the banquet, there were always so few.


    As the sun lowered and lowered, the sound of cars rang from time to time in front of the house, and young men and women in beautiful dresses walked into the lawn in front of the yard.


    Among them were Antonia''s friends and Nico''s acquaintances, but after seeing Ryan, these guys all shined. Australia is regarded as one of Hollywood¡¯s dumping grounds, and obviously his reputation has spread here long ago.


    The dinner was buffet style. The long dining table was filled with food prepared by the Kidman sisters. Around the lawn, there were seven or eight small white tables scattered around. On the other side, there was soothing music in the record player. .


    "Ryan. This is your first time in Australia? Why didn''t you come to Sydney during the premiere campaign?" The question was a young man, said to be Nicole and their old neighbors.


    "I will definitely be in the future." Ryan socialized. Over the past few years, he has quite good communicative skills.


    "Hello. Ryan, I''m Nicole''s classmate."


    A blonde woman came, and Ryan shook her hand gently.


    There are about seven or eight people here, all young people, and many of them are people in the entertainment industry. These people either gathered around Nicole or Ryan, asking about the situation in Hollywood.


    This is normal. Australia is sparsely populated and the entertainment market is limited. After becoming famous, most Australian stars will choose the same path-to Hollywood.


    Ryan also knows this very well. The Australian gang in the previous life is considered a very influential circle in Hollywood. Although they also have conflicts with each other, they will unite and make the same voice when facing external pressure, which should not be underestimated. .


    Now in Hollywood, Nicole Kidman is one of the most famous Australian movie stars.


    After finally sending a few people away, Ryan didn''t want to be a panda anymore, so he simply walked to Nicole''s side and used her as a shield.


    "You and Annie''s friends are so warm." Ryan said when Nicole looked over.


    "Most of them are Anne''s friends. I have been away from Australia for too long, and there are not many friends here."


    Nicole stood by the grill, flipping the barbecue, a tempting fragrance amidst the buzzing sound.


    "Isn''t it okay?" Ryan was anxious.


    "Ryan, patience is a virtue."


    "Come on, Nicole, I can eat a whole roast lamb if I''m hungry."


    Ryan took the fork and poked the roast leg of lamb lightly, apparently really hungry.


    "Wow, should I thank God for being able to eat barbecue made by Hollywood stars."


    A young man came over, and it was their neighbor, and Nicole snorted, "Sorry, Paul, this is Ryan''s dinner. If you want to eat, do it yourself."


    "It''s not fair..."


    Nicole didn''t bother to take care of this guy anymore, put the barbecue on the tray, pulled Ryan up to a small table, and sat down.


    "Don''t pay attention to that guy, for so many years, he hasn''t improved at all." Nicole said casually.


    "Ok¡­¡­"


    Ryan took the tray, sliced ??the barbecue into thin slices, put it on two plates, and pushed one of them in front of Nicole.


    "You have been busy, hurry up and eat some." he said.


    The corners of Nicole''s mouth were slightly tilted, her eyes bent, and a pair of knives and forks and two glasses of juice were brought out.


    It''s just been quiet for a while, and someone came over again. This time it was the blonde woman, who seemed to be acquaintances with Nicole. After greeted her, she just sat on another chair. Nicole can only put down the knife and fork.


    Ryan couldn''t help frowning. Can''t they let people finish the dinner? Besides, the host here is Antonia Kidman. Strictly speaking, he and Nicole are also guests.


    "Nicole, after the new year, I plan to go to Hollywood to develop. Can you give me some advice." The other party asked.


    What a trouble! Ryan sighed, not intending to mix up, and ate his own barbecue.


    "My suggestion?" Nicole seemed to hesitate, and finally told the truth, "It''s best to get a certain reputation here, and then go to Hollywood. That way there will be more opportunities."


    The woman shook her head and continued, "I have been a model, filmed TV series, and participated in some shows. I don''t know why, but I keep..."


    She made a helpless gesture.


    Nicole knew that Hollywood was even more helpless. A newcomer who has no fame and no reliance, it is not an ordinary difficulty to get ahead there. When she took the filming of "Sixth Sense," she was not a household name in Australia, but she was also a well-known female star. Even so, if it wasn''t for Ryan Its role. It''s hard to say whether you can get that role.


    "Nicole, let''s go to acting school together..."


    The two talked in low voices, Ryan glanced away, and Nicole seemed helpless.


    "Well, I have your contact information, if there is a suitable role. I will recommend you."


    Even though Nicole said so, but with Ryan''s understanding of her, this was nothing more than an excuse. Seeing that the blonde woman was about to speak again. Ryan knocked on the empty plate, "Nicole, I''m not full, can I grill a steak for me?"


    "Sorry."


    After pushing the barbecue in front of him, Nicole got up and walked towards the grill.


    Originally, Ryan and Nicole came to Australia to spend a quiet holiday. This banquet broke the tranquility, but it was a banquet convened by Nicole¡¯s sister, and Ryan couldn¡¯t say anything.


    As a TV host, most of Antonia¡¯s friends are people in the same circle and have a natural yearning for Hollywood...


    The banquet lasted very late, and several people invited Ryan and Nicole to the banquet ball when they ended, but they tactfully refused.


    After being a panda for a long time, neither he nor Nicole wanted to be watched.


    After sending the guests away, looking at the mess in the courtyard, Ryan had no choice but to take the tools and prepare to simply tidy up. Besides him, there are two ladies, and there must be some manly demeanor.


    "Okay, Ryan, don''t clean it. It''s late. You should go to rest." Nicole stopped him. "Tomorrow, please ask the cleaning company to clean it."


    "okay then."


    Back in the room, Ryan finished the shower, and just lay down on the bed, he heard a soft knock on the door, and then Nicole walked in, still carrying a gift box in his hand.


    "Wow, is this a Christmas gift? Nicole, why are you not wearing a Santa costume?" Ryan sat up.


    "Is there a beautiful Santa Claus like me?" She handed over the gift boxWhat is this? "


    Asked, Ryan had quickly opened the gift box, a very simple gift, a lucky stone.


    "Good night, Ryan." Just as Nicole was about to leave, Ryan took out a box from under the pillow and handed it over, "Wait, Nicole, this is my present for you."


    Slowly opening the box, Nicole covered her mouth in disbelief. Inside was a fancy necklace made of white gold, and there was a pendant inlaid with broken diamonds. Behind the pendant was a line of letters-Ryan Jenkins.


    She had seen this necklace many times, most of the time it was hung on the frame belonging to her in Ryan''s room, but she didn''t expect that this necklace, which had a different meaning to him, was...gave it to herself.


    "Ryan, this is the most precious gift I have received." Without any hesitation, Nicole decided to accept this gift, "Will you put it on for me?" (To be continued.

 Chapter 150： Silicon and Nerve Bond

    After Christmas, because of the banquet, the news that Nicole Kidman took Ryan Jenkins back to Australia inevitably spread, and reporters began to appear near the house. Nicole simply agreed to Antonia. The request of the last time she hosted a show.


    This kind of sisterhood will attract people''s attention even after twenty years, not to mention that now, to put it bluntly, Nicole is also helping her sister.


    As for Ryan, he has no interest. He stays in the room with the pen and manuscript paper. Next year is a crucial year. He has started several script writing plans at the same time, which can be used in exchange for necessary benefits when necessary.


    To a certain extent, creativity and scripts are not valuable in Hollywood, but gold medal screenwriters, especially those who have been selling creatively one after another, come up with scripts full of suggestions, and no one will ignore them.


    Today, all of Ryan''s works have exceeded 100 million at the North American box office. They still have low input and high output, making the producers full of money. The golden sign called Ryan Jenkins has gradually been erected in Hollywood. The most conspicuous place, the light exuding, closely attracted the attention of various film companies.


    Of course, "Killer Leon" has not been released yet, but after three weeks, the North American box office has exceeded 70 million US dollars, and the release date is still several weeks away. Not surprisingly, over 100 million is not a problem.


    Regardless of other things, just say that Pai Jinsli is not only one of Hollywood''s highest-paid agents, but also the busiest agent. She received script writing contracts from film companies, invitations from record companies, and purchases. The application for the right to adapt the story written by Ryan, etc., can almost overwhelm her and the entire team.


    Although many people know that the conditions they offer are difficult to impress each other, what if they agree? That''s the receipt of hundreds of millions of dollars!


    In contrast, very few crews invite Ryan to play a role. Firstly, everyone knows that he is developing rapidly, and secondly, with his current appearance, he can only invite some supporting roles.


    Inviting him to play a supporting role for a $10 million salary? No one is this crazy yet.


    There are sporadic invitations, some independent producers, under the name of art and awards. I hope that Ryan can take the initiative to lower the pay and take part in some unimportant roles. The name is-to hone his acting skills.


    Ryan had already asked Pai Jinsli to have such an invitation, not to show it to him, just refuse it, the independent film circle...


    Since you come to Australia for a holiday, you naturally have to go out and have fun. Sydney¡¯s major attractions are also well-known in the world, such as the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. Sydney Tower. Royal park. The Victoria Building, etc., left Ryan''s footprints, and even the two took time to visit the Great Barrier Reef, but it was a pity that except for the blue sky and blue sky. He didn''t feel anything strange.


    As for the spiders and snakes that Ryan was worried about when he came, he was simply thinking too much.


    A happy week later, in 1993, Ryan must return to Los Angeles to fulfill the contract with the United States World Cup Organizing Committee.


    In the rented Universal Studios studio, the lights flickered on the temporary stage. It has been a few days since he came back. Ryan has been running in with the Latin orchestra hired by the company, although the accompaniment and singing in the mv can be added later. But the cooperation should not be too outrageous.


    "Papa~"


    John Burns slapped his palms a few times, gave Ryan a thumb on the stage, and pointed in the direction of the camera.


    Ryan took off Mike, and when he passed the five possible future superstars, he slapped them one by one. Quickly walked off the stage and went to the vicinity of John Burns and David Fincher.


    David Fincher will be in charge of this mv guide tube. It took him more than 30 days to finish all the shots of "Scream". He was busy in the late stage, but Ryan specially invited over. This The guy was originally from filming mv, for him this job is just a trivial matter.


    Seeing Ryan coming, the official of the World Cup Organizing Committee Matt Drizzt leaned forward, even though he was a layman, he always wanted to show his presence.


    "John, where did you find this band? The level is pretty good."


    Ryan first praised the old man. This professional orchestra with dozens of people is much better than the temporary guest appearance of his accompaniment band.


    "Okay, Ryan, let''s talk about business now." David Fincher knew Ryan very well and quickly brought the topic back. "I''ve seen it. There is no problem with the cooperation. You can officially shoot."


    "What do you think of the script I wrote?"


    The script of mv was written when he finished "Cup of Life".


    "Interlacing football scenes in mv?" David Fincher looked to the other side, "Mr. Drizzt, did you have a result with FIFA?"


    "They will send over some classic game videos as soon as possible."


    "That''s no problem."


    Editing football images into mv is just a simple task for him.


    However, Ryan¡¯s script is more than that simple, "David, I invited Industrial Light & Magic to deal with that scene specifically."


    David Fincher shook his head helplessly. The picture that Ryan said was taken in the Rose Bowl yesterday. After being added to the mv, it only takes a dozen seconds at most, but it needs to go through extremely cumbersome post-processing special effects.


    According to the technicians who participated in the filming, the technology required for this scene even exceeds the processing of "Jurassic Park."


    Ryan just smiled and patted David Fincher¡¯s arm. Today¡¯s special effects are all burned out of U.S. dollars. The reason why he dared to do this was that he got the support of the United States World Cup Organizing Committee. This mv Most of the expenses will be paid by them.


    This is the golden age of the United States. In the eyes of these wealthy guys, they only buy the expensive ones, not the right ones.


    Of course, these people are not fools. Just look at the extras who have finished the makeup to understand.


    Nicole Kidman, wearing cropped trousers and a tight T-shirt, beckoned to this side, beside her, Schwarzenegger was whispering something, on the other side Judy Foster was dressed in sportswear. , Stepping on a football, seems to be eager to try.


    They will act as spectators under the stage, naturally there are close-up spectators, these are all friendly guest appearances, although the two ladies don''t know much about football.


    "Prepare, each department prepares~"


    In the studio, there was a shout from the scene, and Ryan returned to the stage. At this time, the lights went out and the spotlights on the stage were turned on.


    At the beginning of the scene note, the drum trumpet rang and the prelude to "Cup of Life" sounded.


    Since the song was adopted, Ryan has practiced some simple Latin dance steps. Although it is far less coquettish than the previous Ricky Martin, it is still enough to deal with mv.


    The flashing stage, blasting music, penetrating singing, and the atmosphere created by dozens of extras in the audience. This studio seems to have become the scene of a superstar concert.


    After shooting a few times. Ryan''s condition is getting better and better. I completely immerse myself in the music. Although the understanding of the song and the feelings involved in it are very different from the previous life, it is as if Ricky Martin is possessed by the soul, and a Latin dance step is fully displayed.


    "!"


    Heavy drums fell. Ryan waved to the three who came down to help, jumped off the stage, and walked to David Fincher''s side.


    "How do you feel?" he asked.


    "Not bad, especially the dance steps this time, which has improved a lot from the previous few times."


    David Finch is playing it back, Ryan is also watching, but can''t see too many doorways, this kind of unprocessed picture looks chaotic and noisy.


    Subsequently. David Fincher gathered five backing singers and three extras, and began to ask some precautions. The following will focus on their shots.


    "Ryan, you must treat!"


    Arnold Schwarzenegger pointed to Ryan and said before walking away.


    "Okay. No problem, Arnold."


    Ryan walked towards the stage and said to the other five people at the same time, "After the filming, we will join the Planet Hollywood restaurant, signed by Arnold... Well, maybe he can also be a guest waiter."


    Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the owners of the Planet Hollywood restaurant and occasionally serves as a guest waiter.


    "Come on! Boob, Jesse, Justin, and Christine, ah! And... Ryan." He scratched his face and called Ryan Gosling''s name, really awkward.


    The shooting of mv is much simpler than the movie. The time spent shooting is not as much as the time spent setting up a temporary stage in the studio. Only half a morning and an afternoon, the segment belonging to the stage is almost complete.


    What this mv wants is a dazzling effect. Except for Ryan, there are almost no close-up shots. Even if there are only a few close-ups, the requirements for acting skills are not high. After all, this is not a movie.


    Of course, Ryan fulfilled his promise. Not only Schwarzenegger, but also the crew, invited them to Mr. Zhou''s restaurant and had a modified Chinese meal.


    Since the restaurant is located in Beverly Hills, he often orders meals and has long been a VIP here.


    "Ryan, I am optimistic about an investment project."


    In the car home, Ryan received a call from Scott, "What project?"


    "A game studio." Scott went on to explain a few words on the phone, "After we discussed last time, the investment team analyzed many IT companies. We think this studio has great potential."


    Scott Swift and Wilson lawyers have long established an investment team for Ryan, in charge of investment matters.


    "So..." Ryan hesitated, "Will it affect our next actions?"


    "They are currently looking for investment. I think this is a good opportunity, and it doesn''t take up much of our funds Well, let''s meet and talk." Ryan just wanted to make George turn around, on the phone. Stett''s voice came again, "If possible, Ryan, we''d better go there these days."


    "Well, how about three days later?" Ryan will go into the studio to record "Cup of Life" in the next few days.


    "No problem, I will ask someone to send the information to you or Nicole as soon as possible."


    What an impatient guy! Ryan sighed inwardly. It is rare to make Scott take such a serious consideration. He couldn''t help being a little bit more concerned, and asked, "Scott, what''s the name of that studio?"


    "Silicon and the nerve bond!"

 Chapter 151： How Hollywood conquered the world

    The commercial vehicle that Ryan and Scott rode is heading towards Orange County. Their destination is a city called Irvine, where Scott¡¯s optimistic ¡®Silicon and Nerve Key¡¯ studio is located. .


    "Silicon and Nerve Bond was founded in 1991 by Alan Adhan, Mike Mohuaimi and Frank Pierce."


    In the car, Scott? Swift is introducing some basic information to Ryan, "At present, they have developed two games, "Rock Racing" and "Lost Viking"... Well, the market response of "Rock Racing" is quite good."


    In his previous life, Ryan was not a game lover. The longest game played was World of Warcraft. It was only a short period of more than a month. This is really a black eye.


    Of course, although the most famous games have not been played, I have heard of them. But what are "Rock Racing" and "Lost Viking"?


    "How many employees are there in the studio?" Ryan asked.


    "more than ten."


    Scott''s answer made Ryan scratch his head for a while. If he hadn''t known that he was always cautious, he would have wanted the driver to turn the front of the car and return to Los Angeles.


    "They will also start development plans for two games this year. Because of the shortage of funds, they are looking for investment everywhere." Scott continued.


    Since it was not early to depart from Los Angeles and it was almost noon before arriving at the destination, Ryan, Scott and others simply found the small studio after having lunch.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins, this is Alan? Adhan, this is my partner Mike? Mohuaimi."


    The studio is not too big. In a reception room, people from the studio are receiving Ryan and his party. They are very enthusiastic because he might pay for it.


    Alan? Adehan was also a little surprised. He probably didn''t expect the so-called investor to be a Hollywood star.


    After a simple greeting, the two sides quickly turned to the topic, Allen? Adhan introduced the basic situation of the studio and the next development plan, as well as the financial difficulties encountered and so on.


    "Next we plan to port "Lost Viking" to Nintendo''s Super Nintendo, and then develop two games called "Shanghai" and "Dragon Eye."


    Listening to what the other party said, Ryan cast his lips secretly, and they were two games that he had never heard of before.


    Unlike Ryan, who is a soy sauce, Scott and the consultants he brought with him asked what they asked from time to time. Many of them were technical terms. After the two sides talked for more than an hour, Scott offered to visit the studio.


    The studio of more than a dozen people is really nothing to visit, but after walking behind the crowd, Ryan also found some unusual places. For example, the company atmosphere is very relaxed, and employees can arrange their own workplaces and dress at will. The dressing is even more varied, and the voices of all kinds of discussions are endless.


    It is somewhat similar to the legendary Pixar. Ryan squeezed his chin.


    However, their group has attracted the attention of many people.


    "Is this the investor Allen they found?"


    "Isn''t Ryan the last one? Jenkins?"


    "Hollywood''s big stars invest in game studios, is it too weird?"


    "He has money, haven''t he heard that, the pay for a movie alone is 10 million US dollars..."


    Turning around in a hurry, listening to the sound of discussion, Alan? Adehan and Mike? Mo Huaimi couldn''t help but feel a little embarrassed.


    "In fact, we have a series of development plans for the future..."


    Go back to the reception room, Alan? Adhan quickly stirred up a topic to avoid embarrassment, "After the two games this year, we will enter the real-time strategy category..."


    "So, we need enough funds to support this plan." Mike is speaking this time? Mo Huaimi, "Silicon and Nerve Key will become the top game development studio."


    The remarks of these two people who sang and agree with each other are no different from those of the pro-ready producers when they are making investment. It is nothing more than a depiction of the future. From their remarks, Ryan can infer that although they need a small amount of funds, they are Many investment institutions refused.


    Ryan has no confidence in these two guys, but believes in Scott¡¯s vision. In the past few years, although he has also had failed projects in his hands, he has succeeded more, and most of the failures are small losses. Success is often It''s a big profit.


    In general, the money earned is much more than the money lost.


    Scott was still discussing investment matters with them. Ryan sat silently and just watched. He could notice that the other person¡¯s eyes were often swept from him. After all, as long as he is not a fool, he is the real one. Investors.


    The business negotiations in the afternoon made Ryan feel dizzy. The investment amount involved was less than one million dollars. Although he didn''t care much, it was already a big sum for a manager.


    Although Scott is optimistic about this project, he is still cautious. If he wants to determine the investment, this kind of talks may have to go through several rounds.


    In the car back, Ryan kept thinking until he was approaching Beverly Hills, he said, "Scott, follow your advice and take as many shares as possible..."


    "Yeah!" Scott nodded, "If I get the controlling rights, I will send the corresponding property supervisors. We better not interfere in game development and operation."


    "You can handle it as you see fit."


    Topping the sky is only a $2 million investment, and Ryan can still afford it. If this game studio has no future, then sell it at a reduced price.


    In the next few days, Riel often ran to David? Vinci¡¯s studio discussed the production of the MV with him. In fact, the editing work for more than four minutes is not complicated, but the special effects production of Industrial Magic Light takes some time.


    In addition, in addition to writing a few scripts, Ryan has to write some miscellaneous things for the "Vanity Fair" column. In fact, in the first issue of "Vanity Fair" after the New Year, there is already an article of his.


    The article was titled "How Hollywood Conquered the World". This kind of blatantly setting a monument to American films naturally won praise from Hollywood.


    "An industry should understand itself and the objects it serves. This is especially true for the film industry and the huge number of consumers it serves. There is no doubt that in this regard, Hollywood has become a leader in the entire world. front¡­¡­"


    Ryan took "Sixth Sense", which earned more than US$600 million in the global box office as an example, and analyzed one by one in terms of creativity, title, plot, actors, etc., interspersed with many future mainstream commercial films of this era. The evaluation and Ryan''s observations on Hollywood over the past few years have hit the nail on the head.


    Although the article''s professional surname is open to discussion, the narrative of the commercial elements of the film is refreshing.


    "You can look at Ryan''s works with a critical eye, but he can always understand what the audience wants and needs. The article may not be of any help to the artistic name of the film, but it can inspire thinking about the commercial promotion of the film. Senior executives of major film companies should read this article."


    This is James? What Cameron said in an interview with reporters on the set of "True Lies."


    Of course, he is not the only famous filmmaker interviewed, Stephen? When Spielberg left from Industrial Light & Magic, he was also asked by reporters what he thought of this article.


    "Yes, I have read this article more than once. I think this article can not only help Hollywood film practitioners understand the situation they face and the future development trend of commercial films, but also help people in other industries. Understand the problems faced by the film industry and Hollywood. I think Ryan made an outstanding contribution to the development of Hollywood movies in the 1990s!"


    Not only people in the film industry, but also many people in the cultural circle have expressed their opinions in their own columns.


    "We have always been looking for knowledge that will help people in the film industry grow. The primary factor of this knowledge is practicality, not art theory floating in the cloud. Although Ryan has some flaws in the professional surname because of his age, But intelligent and systematic and comprehensive analysis can be called the compass for making commercial films."


    --Dulle? Shali


    The article can cause extensive discussion, which shows that he has had a huge influence. The most direct effect is that this issue of "Vanity Fair" magazine is out of stock, and it is rarely printed once.


    "Good job, Tina, you won again."


    Is this the group board for Tina? In the congratulatory call from Brown, the blonde woman was also sighing secretly, signing Ryan at a high price? Jenkins'' column contract is definitely the most correct decision he has made since entering the 1990s.


    "Ryan, how are the preparations for the next article?" This is her call to Ryan.


    "Please, Tina, it''s too early!" Ryan complained.


    "Has the subject matter been selected? Perhaps we can conduct a more in-depth analysis on the topic of this issue ..."


    Hearing what the other party said, Ryan couldn''t help but curled his lips. "How Hollywood Conquered the World" almost emptied the inventory in his stomach. If you continue to analyze it, you will definitely be shy.


    "You know, Tina, what I do best is to write stories. This kind of analytic essays are okay occasionally. There will inevitably be loopholes, so I am going to write a few stories..."


    Strictly speaking, "Vanity Fair" is a gossip magazine, but there are often some essays, miscellaneous talks, short stories and other articles on it. Naturally, Ryan will not give up his strengths.


    Besides, this kind of faintly advocating article can only be used occasionally. If you write frequently, it will inevitably be laughable and generous.


    "Well, Ryan, happy cooperation."


    Tina? Brown hung up the phone soon, and Ryan shook his head. For Vanity Fair, maybe they value Ryan more? The influence of the name Jenkins is not the story itself.


    Of course, this is a good thing, and influence is also a manifestation of power. (To be continued.)

 Chapter 152： Cup of life

    With the rumbling sound, the stone gate of the dungeon sealed by the natural energy was opened, and then he heard the voice of a woman who made him obsessed, and his body trembled with excitement.


    Illidan? Stormrage slowly turned around and asked in a trembling voice, "Tyrande, is it really you? Ten thousand years ago, I finally heard your voice again..."


    Sitting at the desk, Ryan scratched his eyebrows, held the pen, and started to write again. With the rustle of the pen falling on the paper, the pages of manuscript paper were covered with beautiful handwriting, and he wrote very fast. , It does not seem to have gone through much thought.


    Tyrande? The whispering wind shook the white tiger''s reins. The white tiger rushed out like lightning, avoiding a shadow arrow shot by the demon warlock. She opened the green longbow in her hand, and the moonlight in the sky seemed to be scattered. Summoned by the goddess of the moon, a silver-white arrow gathered on the bowstring...


    The battle is finally over, Malfurion Stormrage, Tyrande Whisperwind and Illidan Stormrage, separated a short distance, faintly formed a confrontation, the night elves'' druid troops and The sentry troops quickly surrounded them, and even a few double-headed Chimeras flew in the sky.


    "Tyrande, what do you say?" Illidan Stormrage looked at the female elf wearing a white mooncloth robe, who had not changed at all for ten thousand years.


    Tyrande lowered his eyes, blocking the inexplicable light in his eyes, but the pair of long pointed ears were trembling slightly, just like the mood of its owner at the moment, "Ilidan, leave Kalimdor Come, never come back again!"


    Illidan was silent, but his face was clearly unwilling.


    "I, Malfurion Stormrage, the leader of the night elves, hereby announce that Illidan Stormrage is no longer a member of the night elves! He...is a betrayer!" The night elves with long beards Big boss. At this time his decision was announced.


    "That''s it! My brother!" Illidan? Stormrage turned and left without any thoughts, but left the last sentence coldly, "I...I am the betrayed!"


    It seems a bit too bloody, but Polygamy has always been the favorite of Americans to watch, so that''s it. After Ryan finished writing this paragraph, he carefully revised the text that he wrote just now.


    This is one of the stories Ryan prepared for "Vanity Fair", a magical type, the protagonist is the ancient race of night elves.


    The story tells the story of Illidan Stormrage and Tyrande Yufeng''s childhood sweethearts, who would have become an enviable couple. But Illidan Stormrage''s brother Malfurion Stormrage. The night elf leader also has a crush on Tyrande. So he took advantage of his position and power to lure Tyrande.


    This female elf is not a firm-minded person. Between power and lover, she chose the former without hesitation. She married Malfurion and framed Illidan in order to eliminate hidden dangers. Put him in a dungeon, imprisoned for ten thousand years, or ten thousand years.


    Until one day, the demon army from another plane invaded, they thought of the powerful Illidan. They wanted to release him from the dungeon, but they had a dispute with the Warden troops guarding the dungeon. Tyrande was cruel. Let his sentry troops slaughter the entire Watcher troops. Only their leader, Maiev Shadowsong, survived.


    In the end, the night elves smashed the invasion conspiracy of the Demon Burning Legion, and Illidan rescued Tyrande at the moment of his death. Facing the ruthless boss, Tyrande finally had a conscience and perfect world. Persuading the big boss to let Illidan go, expelled him from the night elves.


    Illidan Stormrage has since become a prodigal son. After a series of encounters, he has the power of the devil and came to the legendary Outland. The Maiev Shadowsong who has been with him for 10,000 years, but does not hesitate to think. Wanting to take him back to the dungeon, the two started another story about falling in love and killing each other.


    "Ryan, the time is up, you should start." After the knock on the door, Nicole''s voice came in.


    "Okay, Nicole."


    Ryan cleaned up the manuscript paper, put a dark jacket on the outside of the shirt, and chased after him, "Aren''t you together, Nicole?"


    "My dear, I still have to read the script."


    Nicole waved her hand, holding the "Sugar Coated Trap". She didn''t have many roles, but she was exceptionally brilliant... Well, it was the role of Holly Hunter in the previous life.


    It was the black Audi sedan, after driving out of Beverly Hills, it galloped towards the Rose Bowl Stadium.


    After Industrial Light and Magic completed the special effects production in just ten seconds, David Fincher quickly completed the whole mv. The United States World Cup Organizing Committee also invested a lot of manpower and material resources, launched crazy publicity, and decided to Today, the press conference is held in the Rose Bowl to warm up the World Cup one year in advance.


    This is no way. To attract the attention of the public in the football desert requires long-term and frequent publicity work.


    What is soccer and the World Cup, except for a few media, most of the media seldom pay attention to this aspect. They would rather report on gossip scandals of Hollywood stars than leave the space to the sport.


    Maybe Ryan is very attractive to the media, maybe the organizing committee has done a warm-up work in advance, or maybe this competition really entered the media¡¯s attention, when Ryan walked into the lobby of the stadium. At that time, I found that many reporters gathered here.


    The scene was originally quiet. After Ryan sat down, it instantly turned into a noisy vegetable market. It is better to expect the wolves to be vegetarian than the entertainment reporters.


    The host took the microphone and shouted for several times before the scene gradually became quiet. Then the organizing committee and FIFA officials talked endlessly. It was nothing more than the enthusiasm of football and the World Cup. Importance, and then Ryan''s special song for this purpose.


    "Football is the world''s largest sport. The World Cup is a great event. It will be launched in the United States next year. We should pay more attention to this event, just like the song titled "Life Like "The Cup", the Hercules Cup is the highest honor every football player wants to compete for..."


    Collecting money to do things is a matter of course and righteousness. Ryan tried hard to promote the game against the camera lens. Of course, he also had to promote himself. "The Cup of Life" was born for football. I believe that with the hot Football matches, this song will spread to every corner of the world, let people feel the charm of music, feel the charm of football!"


    After Ryan''s voice fell. The mv was officially released, the lights in the hall went out, and the screen flickered on the screen that had already been set up.


    In the silent night sky, gorgeous fireworks bloomed, the trombone sounded amid the dense drum beats, and the picture changed suddenly. In front of the passionate band, Ryan kept waving his hands, and the audience under the stage instantly became enthusiastic. While waving his hands in rhythm. The Stars and Stripes in the hands of a few people are very eye-catching.


    After the prelude full of Latin style. It was Ryan''s penetrating singing.


    "Life is pure passion, it should be full of love..."


    The hot football scenes were mixed into the stage performances, and three extremely familiar faces below the stage gave close-ups one after another, albeit only fleetingly. Most people still recognize it, and they are clearly Nicole Kidman, Judy Foster and Arnold Schwarzenegger.


    Unknowingly, the protagonist in the mv has created a network in Hollywood, and many reporters have been thinking about rebirth of the poisonous princess. Read the full text.


    But the next picture interrupted their reverie.


    "!!! ale, ale, ale..."


    The drum horns hummed in unison, and the fast and tight chorus pushed the song to the climax of the chorus, and Ryan stepped on the close-up of the Latin dance step and gradually pulled away. The whole scene began to change, and in just a short time, the stage disappeared, and a figure wearing a white jersey stood in the Rose Bowl Stadium.


    The transition of the whole scene is very natural, without any jerky feeling. The powerful late-stage technology of Industrial Light & Magic is fully demonstrated here.


    A football flew in the air, Ryan strode forward and flew a kick on the ball. Like falling leaves, the football flew towards the goal, hitting the goal beam impartially, and then bounced back. In front of him, then, he pulled his foot and shot again, the ball hit the crossbar again...


    The flying football fell behind Ryan, he turned and jumped up, with a barb, a white light flashed, the beam bounced the ball back again, Ryan stood up, leaned over and jumped to the top...


    After hitting the crossbar for thirteen consecutive times, the football boy in the picture kicked the ball into the air. The young singer who was singing aloud took the Latin dance steps above.


    "You should fight for your ideal! Support glory to win the cup of life, fight for survival, fight for it! (Yes!) Fight for it! (Yes!


    When Ryan''s singing fell, the close-up shot shifted to the backing vocalist. Five clear heads of the young men and women appeared one after another. Then the screen turned back. Ryan threw the football off the stage and stopped the drum!


    "The 1994 World Cup in the United States welcomes your participation!"


    This is the final picture of mv, followed by the official logo of the United States World Cup Organizing Committee and FIFA.


    The music disappeared and the hall regained the light. After the warm applause, the reporter''s questions began to be thrown over.


    "Ryan, this is a very exciting and popular song. Why do you choose Latin style instead of rock? Don''t you think rock is more suitable for this intense sport?"


    As early as the day when he thought of this song, Ryan knew that he would encounter this situation. He said unhurriedly, "Football is a worldwide sport, and its purpose is just like what we insist on in the United States. And not absorb what we have always insisted on?"


    "Is this song from your independent creation?"


    "I think it''s noted in the mv, isn''t it?"


    "This song makes people excited I believe it will ignite people''s football enthusiasm, Ryan, what inspired you?"


    "Let¡¯s put it this way, I¡¯m a football fan. As long as I have time, I will watch the broadcast of the European League. I also watch the fairy tales created by Denmark in the past year. The supreme trophy is exactly what the players are seeking, just like the eyes of actors and singers. The little golden man is the same as the phonograph..."


    Ryan likes talking about it the most, and after talking about it, a big deal of nonsense is released.


    "Ryan, I''m a reporter from France. I want to ask, how did you hit the goal crossbar 13 times in a row in MV?"


    "This...is it a trade secret."


    Ryan won''t tell him that he never hit the beam once during the shooting. This is the result of the special effects processing of Industrial Light and Magic.


    Of course, even though this is the most advanced cg image processing technology, it is definitely not hidden from insiders. Some reporters who are familiar with movies in the field have already revealed a clear look.

 Chapter 153： spread

    How to promote the World Cup in a zone where football is difficult to influence in the United States is not only a problem for the United States Organizing Committee, but also for FIFA.


    After a few years, this upcoming event is completely opposite to the previous one. FIFA has conducted a survey and when its agencies randomly asked Americans in many cities, nearly 80% of people shook their heads and said they did not know this. The event will be held in the United States, and more than 90% of people said they would not go to watch it live.


    This is really an embarrassing result of the investigation, for which they also sent a letter accusing the United States of poor promotion.


    Just last year, the United States Organizing Committee suddenly decided to release two advertising songs without authorization, but after routinely notifying FIFA, it is said that the singer was identified.


    Originally, they were still very dissatisfied. When they saw the name of Ryan Jenkins, someone who knew the entertainment market in the English-speaking area explained the terrifying influence of this teenager who was less than thirteen years old. The Football Association thinks this may be an opportunity. Since the conventional promotion has not yielded significant results, why not borrow the other side''s influence among American youth?


    Although these guys are corrupt, they want football to be recognized and popular among the world''s top powers, whether it is for fame or for money. They are willing to put the World Cup there, naturally showing this willingness. Teenagers are not just football. The future is also the future of the football market.


    What they lack is what the other party has, and what the other party lacks is exactly what they have.


    The people of FIFA are not stupid and understand that this is a win-win situation. They quickly reached a consensus with the United States. For this reason, they sent a heavyweight official to liaise.


    They won''t know that the unscrupulous boy once wanted to send their future chairman to the Atlantic Ocean to feed the fish.


    After they sent the audition song from the United States, they immediately understood that they had made a wise choice. This song is so suitable for football, it is simply born for the World Cup.


    The Cup of Life-Isn''t the Hercules Cup the trophy that people will struggle for a lifetime? Not to mention. This is still a Latin song, their current chairman, but an authentic Latino.


    Sure enough, the executive committee quickly passed the decision to promote the song as much as possible, taking advantage of the World Cup qualifiers is not over, set off a frenzy around the world, to warm up for next year''s World Cup.


    Although FIFA is corrupt. But it is one of the few sports organizations in the world. It has rich experience in publicity and promotion, and has many cooperative media. This MV was quickly promoted by them all over the world.


    At the same time, the U.S. Organizing Committee stepped up its publicity efforts, and they spent huge sums of money to buy a large screen in Times Square, New York. The MV of "Cup of Life" is played on a loop, although the noisy environment is extremely difficult to hear the singing, but it has a wide range of influence.


    Not only that, they also purchased the prime time of the three major TV networks, and broadcast the song in a loop, which is as powerful as the Super Bowl.


    Hollywood record companies are not far behind. The release of the single has been put on the agenda for a long time, and with the fiery publicity, it has been distributed in lightning speed.


    "Follow football, follow the World Cup, follow the Cup of Life!"


    Ryan made such a declaration without losing the opportunity during a joint interview with the media.


    Immediately afterwards, another incident happened that made Jifang laugh. The album "Ryan Jenkins" was officially recognized by the Recording Association as a ten platinum record-the title of Diamond Record was born in 1999-this pair For the singer who released the record for only a year. It is a great honor.


    Perhaps the lucky stone sent by Nicole played a role, or perhaps this month is Ryan¡¯s lucky month. A few days later, the Recording Academy announced the Grammy nomination. He won a total of newcomer of the year and album of the year. And three heavyweight nominations for the best single of the year.


    The name Ryan Jenkins completely detonated throughout January, and "Cup of Life" attracted countless eyeballs.


    "Ryan played soccer in the MV, right?"


    "It turns out that there will be another event called the World Cup next year in the United States..."


    "Wow. Ryan is so cool, how did he hit the goal crossbar thirteen times in a row?"


    "Ryan likes this sport very much, we should learn about football, maybe we can watch it live next year."


    "I want to practice football. Hit the same place in succession like Ryan..."


    Teenagers are often blind and are the most vulnerable to idols. Young people in the United States have gradually begun to discuss what the World Cup is, and what is the difference between English football and American football.


    Perhaps most people still don''t like football, but it is a huge victory for the US Organizing Committee to attract some people to it.


    To a certain extent, they achieved their goal quickly. The melody of "Cup of Life" was compact, and the chorus of the chorus made people passionate. Even though it was rejected by many people, it spread quickly.


    Many people in the street park started to shout ¡®! ! ! ale, ale, ale...¡¯


    A week later, the single sold more than 140,000 copies, and, as Ryan expected, the song only ranked 35th on the bulletin board.


    Even the bulletin board magazine only gave a simple comment of ¡®a good sports song¡¯.


    However, Ryan''s goal is not North America, otherwise he would not give "" to Maria Kelly.


    "" was released a day earlier than "Cup of Life". Not only did it sell 280,000 copies a week, it also landed on the first place on the bulletin board.


    Many well-known music critics have written articles to praise the inspirational spirit of this song. Whether it is the singer of Maria Kelly or the songwriter, Ryan, they will soon be praised to the sky.


    Even, many people are puzzled, why Ryan Jenkins gave a mainstream music to other singers, but he chose that Latin song?


    After the song landed in the UK, "Cup of Life" still lost to "" in the charts and sales.


    This is the orientation of mainstream society, and it cannot be easily changed by any one person or work.


    However, in addition to the United Kingdom and the United States, "Cup of Life" has completely shown a trend of destruction. In Sweden and Australia, it directly climbed to the top of the local music charts for more than ten weeks.


    In Germany, it ranked first for up to nine weeks. In France, 310,000 copies were sold in a week. In Spain, this song was the most popular, and it easily sold more than 360,000 copies in seven days.


    As for "", except for the United Kingdom and the United States, it was completely defeated by "The Cup of Life" elsewhere in the world.


    In other words, this song has swept across the European continent, the Far East, Africa, and Latin America. Not only has it topped the music charts of various countries, and sold eye-popping sales, many football programs even use it as background music.


    There are also a large number of fans who will sing ¡®when cheering for their beloved team! ! ...¡¯


    If you say that outside the English-speaking area, many people have heard of the name Ryan Jenkins. So now many people know that Hollywood has a talented young star who can write, act and sing!


    He is spreading his name and influence to every corner of the world.


    "A rare football genius! European giants should sign Ryan Jenkins!"


    This is a report published on the homepage of "World News Weekly", "A teenager who is only thirteen years old can hit the crossbar with thirteen feet in a row. He is definitely a football genius..."


    This kind of report is just a joke in the eyes of insiders. Football players understand that it must have used certain stunts. People in the film industry can easily tell that this is a post-production special effect. As long as the average veteran fan observes carefully, he can also realize that this is just a game in the MV.


    Industrial Light & Magic was also not willing to remain silent. When the media heated up this topic, they stood up and admitted that this was the result of their technical team''s work, which was considered a publicity for themselves.


    With the passage of time, the influence of this song has grown, and the scope has long been no longer limited to fans or Ryan''s fans. Even had an impact on some players.


    At the Castilla youth training camp, a young team has just finished training. The dejected teenager walked out of the locker room, put the earphones in his ears, and walked towards the parking lot. His father was waiting in a car. over there.


    After getting in the car, my father handed over a new record. Above is a teenager in a white jersey.


    "The latest and hottest football song is said to be the propaganda song for next year''s World Cup." Father glanced at the boy. "Blanco, has it happened?"


    "No. Dad?" The boy was obviously a little tired, it seemed to be spiritual.


    "Let''s go and see the stadium that belongs to you in the future."


    After not a long time, a white stadium appeared on the side of the car. That is the place where many people dream of fighting, and it is also the stage for his future.


    But do I really belong here? The teenager hesitated.


    He only moved here from another club in the same city in July last year. On both sides are mortal enemies for decades. He is inevitably rejected. Those who have been here for more than half a year are not happy, and even begin to doubt whether the original decision was correct. .


    Pressing the play button, the exciting music sounded, it was his favorite Latin style, and then the singing voice gave him a slight stunned.


    "Life is pure enthusiasm. It should be filled with love and live by it. The soul must fight to win...!... Life is like a race. You should dream of becoming a champion. The cup of life is the highest glory. We Must strive for..."


    The vigorous drums and horns, the never-say-failure singing aroused the fighting spirit of the young people. Listening to this song, listening to this music, watching the white stadium outside, the body is exhausted and suffering The grievances were lost. He only felt that he was full of spirituality and strength. If he walked into this white temple at this time, he would definitely score several goals for those guys wearing red and blue striped shirts.


    The cup of life, fight for survival! Fight for glory! Until you win it all! The boy pressed the play button again, as if this song could give him infinite combat power.


    His confidence and fighting spirit are gradually rising!


    White heart, white blood, and this white temple...


    I! Raul Gonzalez Blanco! Will definitely become the leader of this stadium! Lead this team to win all the honors that can be won!


    Ryan Jenkins... I will become a genius star just like you! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote recommended votes, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to read.)

    Just in the ancient country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, a certain station also played this song when it was playing a football collection, which caused a strong response. Many people called the hotline to ask about the source of the song. The name Ryan Jenkins, gradually Start spreading over there.


    Although what happened everywhere is unknown, Ryan is very aware of the power of this song. With the help of football and FIFA promotion, it is bound to make more people outside the English-speaking area know who he is.


    Although this song is destined to not be the theme song of the World Cup in the United States because of the style of music, it will definitely be even hotter when the World Cup is held next year.


    Other things quickly distracted Ryan from the song.


    The new Oscar nomination is out. "Yihai Xiongfeng", a military legal film co-produced by Miramax and Jenkins Pictures, won a total of best picture, best sound, best editing, and best supporting actor. And five nominations for best supporting actress.


    Nicole Kidman also won the second Oscar performance award nomination in his life.


    "Yihai Xiongfeng" itself is an American-style theme movie, and the public relations between Pie Jinsli and Harvey Weinstein can be said to be a big win.


    But the other movie¡¯s experience was the opposite, even Ryan and Harvey Weinstein did a lot of work.


    "Killer Leon" got nothing in the declared best supporting actress, best supporting actor, best original screenplay, etc.


    Although Ryan changed the relationship between Leon and Matilda to be more obscure, obscure and complicated, and the mainstream media did not criticize the movie as in previous lives, but the subject matter still limited its gains in major awards. .


    In this era, if you want the film academy to bow to commercial and sensitive subjects, the film needs to have extraordinary momentum and influence.


    Having said that, the Film Academy officially issued an invitation to Ryan. He will soon become one of the members. Unfortunately, it is not something you can do overnight if you want to be a core member.


    The ringing of the phone interrupted Ryan''s thoughts, the call from New York.


    "Nat. Is that you? Are you back from Europe?" Ryan asked after answering the phone.


    "Yes, I just got home." Natalie''s voice was still a little tired, "Oh, my God, this is a crazy journey. The crew went through many big cities in Europe, London, Paris. Amsterdam..."


    "Then this is a pleasant journey?" After a long time. Ryan asked.


    "Not bad. Except for the nasty questions raised by those nasty reporters."


    "Think of them as a swarm of buzzing flies."


    "And those Frenchmen, Ryan, I finally understand why you can''t understand the French, their thinking is really different. Luc Besson actually mentioned the plots he added in the script, some The reporter asked me if it was because of my objection that you canceled the scene of Matilda and Leon getting together intimately. They said that the two of us are blasphemy on film art... God, I really don¡¯t know how their heads are used. What a structure!"


    "Well, Nat, our future is in Hollywood, don''t care."


    Ryan knew. What Natalie said was only part of the problem, but naturally he would not ask if she didn''t say it.


    "Right, Nat. Congratulations, you have become a member of the 100 million box office club."


    "Are you congratulating yourself, Ryan?" Natalie gave a little stab, and then changed her tone. "Thank you, Ryan."


    "When I go to New York, just treat me to a big meal."


    "No problem, so be it, Ryan, I''m going to bed because of jet lag."


    Another busy awards season has begun. In this period of time for the entertainment industry to summarize the past year, in order to win the most weighty honors, various film companies and movie stars and singers of all sizes have tried their best. To solve the number, some people even catch up to several parties in a day.


    Newspapers and entertainment magazines have also ushered in a harvest season. Not only can they receive a variety of promotional orders, but the carefully crafted news can also attract the attention of the public, making sales also enter a period of peak.


    With the announcement of nominations for several major awards such as Grammys and Oscars, the number of disturbing canvassing parties has rapidly decreased, and the propaganda battle has become more intense. In addition to own strength, honor is also closely related to factors such as money, qualifications, and contacts. Relax at this time In fact, it is tantamount to giving up early.


    For example, regarding Nicole''s best supporting actress, after only a small round of campaigning, it became silent. Many people have also guessed that this Australian woman''s ambition is not here.


    This year''s Oscar, Ryan did not receive any nomination, he does not plan to attend the awards ceremony on the spot, even with the nomination of "Yihai Xiongfeng" for the best film, Jenkins Pictures has tickets.


    The movie in the previous life was to accompany the whole journey. In this life, unless Harvey Weinstein is determined to cause a murder, it is very likely that this fate will continue.


    Besides, now Harvey Weinstein has the public relations ability to create **** cases, I have to say two more.


    After entering February, after intensive publicity and hype, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" was launched. This year, there was no obstacle to the record promotion plan. Ryan used the weekend after school to hold several signing meetings.


    Booker Bookstore in West Hollywood is located in the heart of Sunset Boulevard. Many celebrities like to visit here. Madonna Siconi, Annette Bening, Tom Hanks and others often come here to check if there are any new books on the market.


    It is also the preferred location for many authors when they release new books.


    Similarly, Ryan''s signing was also selected here, sitting behind the signing table, and looking far away from time to time, it was full of dense figures, probably more than five thousand people.


    The team is naturally dominated by teenagers, and there are also not a few adults. These people either like the series themselves, or they are for their own young children.


    Think about "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" only sold 100,000 copies a year ago, last year''s "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" has sold nearly 10 million copies so far, celebrity effect and advertising The role of hype in it should not be underestimated.


    It¡¯s not just the Harry Potter series. Every time Ryan¡¯s new book goes on the market, all his past works will usher in a sales peak, especially "Jurassic Park". Since the film¡¯s production has been announced, although there hasn¡¯t been Fleeing back to the top five of the bestseller list again, but the high sales volume is still staggering.


    Today, "Jurassic Park", "Ryan Tales", "Resident Evil" and Harry Potter''s first four books have been released in various languages, from Latin America to Europe, from the Far East to the Middle East, and from Africa. You can see them in Australia.


    According to incomplete statistics from the publishing house, "Jurassic Park", the first and highest-selling single-volume on the market, sold nearly 50 million copies worldwide.


    These are not only fame, but also large sums of money. At present, Ryan''s accountant is working with the publishing house to settle the book royalties last year, which is as high as tens of millions of dollars.


    "Thanks for your support!"


    Ryan has developed this dual-purpose ability. While thinking wildly, he maintains a friendly smile. He signs his name and greetings on the title page of a book, and occasionally satisfies fans who are not very satisfied. Some excessive requests.


    Of course, he would refuse all requests for kisses or underwear signatures.


    Like the signing event last year, many fans tend to pack all of his works when they buy "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", even the worst-selling and most criticized "Resident Evil" No exception.


    "Ryan, can I ask, is there only one story about the "Night Elf" you published on "Vanity Fair"? "Night Elf" is the love triangle written by Ryan. After the launch of Vanity Fair, the response was enthusiastic.


    Just as he thought, this kind of intricate story of polygamy and love and killing is extremely marketable in this land of North America.


    "That will be a whole series, probably more than a dozen independent and interrelated short and medium stories."


    Ryan had already planned to write an article about each race in World of Warcraft, including some of the most famous heroes.


    "Thank you!"


    The middle-aged fan got an accurate answer and was obviously happy.


    Ryan still maintains the state of being crazy while signing autographs for fans.


    Falling in love and killing each other is a must! This is the tone of the story. Arthas Menethil and Jaina Proudmoore¡¯s entangled life, the tears that Arthas shed after killing Sylvanas Windrunner... Yes, and Sa El and Varian Wrynn are good friends.


    In the previous life, the movie production of Warcraft was already on the agenda, and the approximate release date was announced. Do you want to make a whole Warcraft movie version in the future? When it comes to adapting games to movies, there are only a few successful people. Perhaps God only knows whether game fans in another world will buy movies.


    "Ryan~Ryan~"


    I don''t know what''s going on. Suddenly someone in the team took the lead and called out his name. Ryan stood up, waved to the side, and screamed even more crazily.


    The signing lasted until sunset. Even if Ryan signed out thousands of books, there were still thousands of people waiting in line. He couldn''t meet everyone''s requirements. After a little apology with the microphone, he left. Booker Bookstore.


    A few days later it was the Grammy Awards. After a few years, the grand event of the national music industry returned to Los Angeles. Ryan did not plan to go to the Oscars, but won three heavyweight nominations on the Grammys. Naturally Going to participate.


    As for whether he can get a phonograph, I¡¯m not sure at all. Not to mention his age and information. Just talk about the Recording Association. Most people in the United States know that the Film Academy has cramps occasionally, and the Recording Association does not cramp occasionally. , No one can figure out their award rules.


    That''s not right. U2 is their big love. The kind of singer with a good appearance and good singing is also their darling. If a person is too handsome or beautiful, it is likely to become a tragedy. ()

 Chapter 155： Grammy

    In recent years, the ratings of the Grammy Awards have been declining, and have been hit by bulletin boards and MTV awards. Although it has been one of the four major awards ceremonies in the literary and art world, the Recording Association has moved the awards ceremony to stop the decline. Back to Los Angeles, I also invited a large number of Hollywood stars.


    After getting out of the car, Ryan walked onto the red carpet alone.


    This kind of place is where celebrities gather and gossip and fly, and among the gorgeous and contending actresses, there are often a casual look that will be interpreted by people in countless meanings. If someone is cold-faced, they will be murdered. Film.


    The reporters have set up long guns and short cannons early, and will not let go of any action of any star, some crazy paparazzi, can''t wait to step forward and take off the little fabric of those **** actresses, so that there is no need for tomorrow The headline is worried.


    For more than a year, Ryan will become the focus of the scene as long as he steps on the red carpet, but this is not the case tonight.


    Fans on both sides of the red carpet were shouting enthusiastically, but they weren''t cheering for him. The camera in the reporter''s hand lit up half the sky, but it was not flickering for him.


    Looking at the person in front, Ryan could only sigh unlucky, who let himself go behind him, who let this be the singer''s home Grammy.


    The man in front of him was in white clothes and black trousers, with messy long hair draped over his shoulders. Every time his thin body made arbitrary actions, he always attracted countless cheers and enthusiasm. There were two women beside him, one in black and one in white. Matching is extremely rare.


    The white female he knew, the famous Brooke Shields, the black female was a bit stranger, but the person who could stand beside Michael Jackson and get along with Brooke Shields should be his younger sister, Janet Jackson.


    The other party is the super king of pop music. There may be some exaggerations, but it can always reflect some facts. As for whether there will be anyone in the future, it will be when Ryan is reborn anyway. Regardless of men and women, no singer can surpass him.


    It''s normal to be suppressed by him, isn''t it? Ryan smiled indifferently, but looked curiously at the eyes of Michael Jackson and Brooke Shields.


    The relationship between these two people is so intricate that many people are stunned. Maybe there is a blue-faced confidant in this world?


    Well, these don''t care about your own business. Ryan was also happily enjoying being clean, until he was almost at the end of the red carpet, the reporter cast a concerned look, but he hurried a few steps and walked into the hall in front of him.


    "Did something happen. Ryan?" Pie? Kingsley was waiting for him near the door.


    "Nothing. I don''t want to give those reporters a chance to ask questions. Go a little faster." Ryan said casually.


    Compared with the film industry, Ryan is much more unfamiliar with the pop music industry. Among the famous singers of this era, he can name very few people.


    "Hi. Ryan."


    "Hello, Miss Houston, I haven''t seen you for a long time. You are beautiful again. I heard that you will do the opening performance tonight?"


    The person here is one of the singers that Ryan doesn''t know much about, Whitney Houston.


    "Yes, "I Will Love You Forever"."


    This song missed the 1992 Grammy due to the release time, but Whitney Houston became the guest of the opening performance.


    He looked at the appearance of the other party''s Baiyi Shengxue. Ryan chatted with her a few more words and walked directly into the theater.


    In the spacious theater, the buzzing is constant at this time, and the stars are also people, and they will also chat with the people around them, walking all the way to their seats. Ryan also found a few acquaintances, such as Maria Kelly, this flower butterfly was accompanying her fiance and saying something.


    There is also David Fincher. Although he was promoted to be a film director and even had his own team, he sometimes went to shoot a few MVs because of favors.


    After greeted these people, and exchanged a few words with the president of Sony Records, Ryan took his seat.


    Except for Pie Jinsli, who was sitting next to him, Ryan looked around and saw that he was full of strangers. He didn''t plan to befriend a singer. He just chatted with Jinsli in a low voice, waiting for the start of the awards ceremony.


    "Ryan, I heard Nicole say that you bought a game studio?" Jinsli was curious.


    "That''s right, but Scott inspected the project, and he handled the acquisition alone." Ryan shrugged.


    "Are you going to enter the game industry?"


    "Come on, Pat, do you think I know games?"


    is not that right? Jinsli thought about it for a while. Since knowing Ryan, he has been busy almost every day. The occasional relaxation is mostly quarreling with Nicole or Natalie. I really haven''t seen him play video games.


    "It''s only two million dollars. If the game studio has no future, it can be sold directly."


    "Well, if Nicole uses guardian rights to restrict your account by then, I won''t help you intercede."


    "Maybe that studio will make me a billionaire." Ryan said with raised eyebrows, "Oh, it''s about to begin."


    As the lights went out row by row, the buzzing discussion instantly disappeared, and the whole theater became extremely quiet.


    In the soothing music, the white cylindrical crystal curtain receded towards both sides of the stage. Whitney Houston, wearing a silver-white fishtail evening dress, stood on the high platform in the center, singing among the rows of spotlights. The prelude to "I Will Love You Forever".


    The band¡¯s accompaniment sounded, Ryan¡¯s brows frowned, Whitney Houston made a little change in his singing, and probably wanted to make the live version better, but it was a pity that after only a few sings, there were two broken Music, and her singing has obviously regressed a lot.


    Especially when it is necessary to sing with the penetrating power of the high scale, the sound seems to have lost the magic in the movie. Whitney Houston seems to have found that he is not in good condition, and the following singing has become quite normal.


    Ryan can only feel so emotional about the very bad opening performance. After all, the other party''s life style is not a secret in the circle. It has only reached its peak for a year, and is it anxious to fall?


    If the private life of an entertainment star is chaotic, then the black star is definitely one of the best. This one will end up like that in the previous life. In many ways, it is only self-blame.


    Shaking his head, Ryan threw these behind his head and focused his energy on the stage.


    Unlike the Oscars, there are so many Grammy awards. Even if Ryan is an industry insider, he is still a little confused. It''s just heard that there are more than 100 awards in 28 categories.


    The awards ceremony has been delayed for too long, no wonder the ratings have been declining. After returning from the bathroom, Ryan was quite boring. If nothing happened this time, it means that the Recording Association didn''t wait to see him, a cross-border guy, so he wouldn''t participate in the future.


    "Is it true that the rumors are said?" Just when Janet Jackson appeared on the stage, Jinsli murmured.


    "What rumors?" Ryan asked curiously.


    "It is said that Grammy will award Michael Jackson the award for contemporary legend." Jinsli cast her eyes to the front row.


    "Oh¡­¡­"


    Ryan nodded and said nothing, the energy betting on the stage was slightly concentrated.


    "Before he won the twelve Grammy Awards, before his outstanding dance fans counted down hundreds of millions of fans, before he actively pursued humanitarian causes in order to save billions of lives, before all these, he There is another character, he... is my brother."


    "Hello everyone, this is Jenny Jackson. I am honored to be able to present an award to someone here today. Whether he is an artist or as a person, I love and admire him. He is my brother. ,Michael Jackson."


    After the lengthy and cumbersome introduction, Janet Jackson stood aside. In her commentary, the big screen began to look back at Michael Jackson¡¯s glorious past.


    The performances during the halftime of the Super Bowl, the open-air concert in Bucharest, etc., appeared on the screen one by one, and even after the broadcast, the highlights were played back to front.


    "Now, I am honored to present the 1993 Grammy Contemporary Legend Award to my brother, Michael Jackson..."


    Janet Jackson made a gesture of invitation on the stage. Michael Jackson got up and walked towards the stage. The stars and audience attending the ceremony, including Ryan, stood up and put him on the stage with applause.


    Even if many people are reluctant, they can only respond with warm applause at this moment.


    It''s not a phonograph, it''s an unusual crystal trophy. Looking at Michael Jackson, who gave his acceptance speech, Ryan was a little bit emotional. I am afraid it would be difficult for him to win such a trophy in his life.


    "I love you all!"


    This sentence appeared several times in Michael Jackson¡¯s acceptance speech. While he was speaking, the camera frequently captured Brooke Shields¡¯ footage. Obviously, those photographers understood how to attract the attention of the audience.


    After talking about his childhood and the problems in this world, as well as his determination to help others, followed by a long list of thanks.


    "Thank you my companySony Records, the big family, thank you Akio Morita..."


    Ryan keenly caught this sentence and couldn''t help laughing. He didn''t know how he would feel when Sony Records played the king on stage between applause in the past few years.


    The Grammy Legend Award is one of Michael Jackson''s peak moments, but after the peak, it means the beginning of a downhill road.


    Because of the bizarre death in the previous life, Ryan has checked his information somewhat, and the other party will soon be in trouble, falling into the quagmire of scandal and unable to extricate himself.


    Is Michael Jackson¡¯s child molestation case true or false? Ryan did not know that public opinion was never in the hands of blacks.


    Manslaughter? Even though he was on the other side of the Pacific Ocean back then, he felt that this reason was really fake, and the fake ones were like those five big red letters.

 Chapter 156： Grammy II

    In the previous life, Ryan was just watching the fire from the shore. What happened here was nothing more than rumors. But in this life, he has been in this circle for several years and has gained a lot of personal experience.


    When a black man has achieved an achievement that has attracted the attention of the whole world, some people will naturally look at him unpleasantly, especially when interest disputes are also involved.


    Michael Jackson has something coveted in his hands, and Sony Records has always been around.


    It is hard to say that there is no Sony''s shadow behind the debt traps in the scandals of the previous life.


    In Ryan''s view, if the other party gave up the copyright of the records in his hand, it might be better in the future. His skin color is destined to be unable to protect this gold mine.


    The lengthy award ceremony continued, and soon a staff member came over and reminded Ryan that it was time to go backstage to prepare. As the winner of the three nominations, it was natural to become a singing guest.


    "Should I be with you, Ryan?" Jinsli asked.


    "No, I can do it alone."


    Following the staff member, Ryan walked into the backstage from the corridor on the other side, and with the assistance of the stylist, began to sort out his hair and so on.


    An assistant director also walked over at this time, explaining some precautions beside him, Ryan slowly nodded, after all, this is a Grammy''s live performance, if something goes wrong, it would be embarrassing to the public in the United States.


    "Here, Ryan, remember to look at my gestures, three, two, one..."


    The director''s assistant led him to the elevator platform below the stage, and when Ryan sat in front of the black piano, gestured.


    "no problem!"


    Ryan made an ¡®ok¡¯ gesture.


    "Three, two, one..."


    Seeing the assistant director drop the last finger, Ryan was calm and composed, with her slender fingers falling on the black and white keys, and the melodious piano sound was the prelude to "Because of You".


    The elevator platform slowly rises, when the lights of the theater fall into Ryan''s eyes. The prelude just ended.


    "I won''t make the mistakes I made before, and I won''t let my heart be filled with pain again..."


    The sound of the piano pouring out from the slender fingers like water, Ryan''s emotional singing is full of penetrating power, and playing and singing did not affect him at all.


    "Because of you, I have learned to stay in a safe place and not be hurt. Because of you, I try to trust others and live peacefully with people around me. Because of you, I feel dependent on my heart!"


    The emotions contained in the singing suddenly exploded in the chorus. The full-bodied singing voice penetrated into the sky. The accusation that shook people''s hearts. It seems to touch the deepest part of the soul.


    "Ryan! Ryan!"


    The young fans at the back of the theater realized that they had overlooked a vital person tonight, the one they loved the most.


    Ryan had no sense of the outside world and was completely immersed in his own world. A world full of musical fantasy.


    He tried to play a touching story with his jumping fingers. With the slender fingers with a magical changing rhythm, the accompaniment tune seemed passionate and deep.


    "Because of you, I have learned to stay in a safe place and not be hurt. Because of you, I try to trust others and live peacefully with people around me. Because of you, I feel dependent on my heart!"


    Cathartic singing. With a trace of hoarseness, but it seemed unusually clear again, Ryan showed his profound live singing skills to the fullest.


    The song stopped, the song broke, and applause began.


    The stars in the first few rows stood up first. Then more people stood up, and the audience at the end also stood up amidst the overwhelming applause of ¡®Ryan¡¯ cheers.


    The audience stood up!


    Then the cheers disappeared, and enthusiastic applause came like a tide. Ryan stood up and leaned forward, "Thank you!"


    There is no band, no backing dancers, and nothing else, just playing and singing alone, which won the whole house.


    From the backstage, when Ryan walked back to his seat, he passed by, singers from unknown or acquaintances greeted him softly, some high-five, some shook hands, and several female singers gave him hugs.


    "Very wonderful performance."


    "Your scene is really great."


    "We can cooperate if we have the opportunity."


    Various sounds washed his hearing, and when Ryan walked back to his seat, it was delayed for several minutes.


    "If you won''t come again, I plan to take the stage for you to accept the award." Jinsli said jokingly.


    "I have no opinion."


    Ryan shrugged and sat down quickly. The best newcomer on the stage was about to be awarded. "Pat, are you sure that the Recording Association will give me a phonograph?"


    "This is not even God''s guess."


    Although she has done a lot of public relations work, Jinsli still lacks confidence.


    "The winner of the best newcomer is..."


    The unfamiliar award-giving guest on the stage paused. The heads of all the nominees appeared on the big screen. They were either nervous or excited. Only Ryan smiled relaxedly, seemingly not caring about the award.


    "Development blocked!"


    The winner is a black rap group, Ryan has never heard of it anyway.


    "This is normal, Ryan, Grammys have always been like this..."


    Jinsli probably wanted to comfort him in a low voice, but Ryan didn''t care much. He knew very well that his main battlefield was in the movie, "It''s okay, Pat, aren''t there two nominations?"


    However, after seeing the next guest performing on stage, Ryan suddenly realized that he might be leaving empty-handed tonight.


    Although there are not many singers he knows, he still remembers the male singer who was singing on stage, Eric Clapton, who sang the famous "Tears in Paradise"!


    The next one is the best single, and the guest of honor said his name.


    "The best single was "Tears in Paradise," Eric Clapton."


    This song was composed by Eric Clapton to commemorate his four-year-old son, who died young. Most musicians also knew the background of the song''s birth, and at this time they received warm applause.


    "The best record of the year is "Tears in Paradise," Eric Clapton, congratulations!"


    The award ceremony came to an end, and another heavyweight award was received by him.


    "If nothing else, Eric Clapton will sweep the most important awards." Jinsli sighed.


    "It should be like this, and the best album should be his." Ryan shook his head. Although not as important as Oscar, it doesn''t feel very good to go home empty-handed.


    In fact, not only do they think so, but most other people also think so, "Best Album" is none other than Eric Clapton.


    However, if the Recording Association can easily make people guess what they think, then the Grammys are not Grammys.


    After another unfamiliar female singer sang a song, a blonde woman stepped onto the stage. It was Madonna Siconi, the eldest sister in pop music today.


    "In the past year, many outstanding albums have been born, and there are not a few that are selling well. In terms of the sales champion, it must be the album "Ryan Jenkins". The sales of ten platinum...Oh, God. , Of course, other albums are equally good."


    "Nominated for Best Album of the Year..."


    Every time Madonna uttered a name, a person''s head appeared on the big screen, but these people, including Ryan, seemed very calm, and they obviously thought that the award had belonged in advance.


    "Now let''s see who this lucky guy is!" Madonna opened the envelope and said casually, "He is..."


    "It looks like we are going home empty-handed, Nicole should laugh at me." Ryan muttered to Jinsli in a low voice.


    "He... "Ryan Jenkins" Ryan Jenkins! Album of the year, congratulations!"


    There was no sound in the theater. Ryan slowly turned his head from Jinsli''s side to the stage. With an open mouth, he could put an egg into it. Not only him, but everyone in the room was shocked.


    Grammys deserve to be Grammys! This is the thought of many people at that moment.


    "Slap~slap~"


    The applause that suddenly remembered seemed very monotonous, but after a while, the applause fell like a rainstorm. Whether it is the album "Ryan Jenkins" or the person Ryan Jenkins is worthy of this album, isn''t it?


    It''s better to get a phonograph than to go home empty-handed. Ryan quickly picked up his mood and strode onto the stage.


    "Thank you!"


    He took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook Madonna, after all, embracing a rumored bisexual has some psychological barriers.


    "Congratulations, Ryan."


    Madonna handed the phonograph over and flashed aside.


    Ryan looked at the small gramophone, which was very unique, and then moved to the microphone, "Thank you! Thank you, the judges, for approving my first album. Thank you Hollywood Records, thank you to all the people I love and those who love me... , The last sentence, I can sing and compose I know this, so I will give full affirmation to me for the affirmation given to me by the judges!"


    Of course, Ryan said the last sentence in a joking manner, which immediately drew applause and laughter from the stage.


    This award is a bit surprising, but it¡¯s only natural to think about it. The album "Ryan Jenkins" was the top-selling album in North America last year. If you count overseas sales, it must have exceeded 15 million copies. Grammy gave the seat recorder. It''s nothing strange.


    Besides, Ryan has won three heavyweight nominations for best newcomer, best single and best album. If he returns empty-handed, he will definitely attract media criticism tomorrow.


    "Of course I am very happy to get a phonograph. I will continue to work hard to create even better songs." After the awards ceremony, Ryan was undergoing a routine interview, "What? A new album? Yes, I will definitely be released next year. For my second album, I have almost prepared the songs. As for the time, you should ask the Hollywood record company."


    Despite being a singer, Ryan didn¡¯t want to get involved in this circle too deeply. He greeted a few acquaintances, declined a few parties, and sent Jinsli out as a shield. Returned home. ()

 Chapter 157： Ready

    The knock on the door awakened Ryan from his sleep, slowly opened his eyes, turned his head and looked towards the bedroom door, Nicole Kidman''s tall figure has already opened the door and walked in.


    "Ryan, it''s time to get up, or you''ll be late." Nicole walked to the bed.


    "Ah..." After yawning, Ryan shook his head and murmured, "Nicole, can you ask me a few days off from school?"


    "Ask for leave?" Nicole''s face was dark, "Ryan, just a few days after school starts, are you asking for leave again?"


    "Please!" Ryan Baba looked over, "I''m so tired these days, Grammys last night..."


    "Ok."


    Nicole sighed. After all, Ryan''s recent busyness was seen in her eyes. She also conceived and wrote several scripts, and signed the promotion and sales of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". She also had time to practice new songs and went to participate yesterday. Grammy...


    To say that she doesn''t feel distressed, it must be fake. There is a bit of helplessness in the light blue eyes. Outsiders will only envy and jealous of Ryan''s scenery, but who knows what kind of effort he put in behind?


    "Let''s talk, how long, please?" Like everything in the past, Nicole will only give in.


    "How about a month?"


    Ryan is now talking about the inch.


    "Ryan~"


    Nicole''s face darkened, and she couldn''t help bending over and patted him lightly through the thin quilt.


    "That''s it for you."


    Grabbing that hand, Ryan pulled gently, and Nicole sat on the edge of the bed, and couldn''t help but squeeze his ear gently.


    Probably just after waking up, a little confused, and a little impulsive, Ryan moved his head to the side of the bed, as he did when he was a child, resting on Nicole¡¯s thigh, and burying most of her face in her flat belly. between.


    "Nicole, I haven''t slept like this for a long time. I really miss it..."


    The dazed young urn said something that he didn''t know clearly, and put his hand around her slender waist.


    Across the thin clothes, Ryan breathed the familiar breath, slightly intoxicated, but the next moment, he suddenly felt Nicole''s body tremble slightly, realizing that he was not a kid now. Nicole should be angry with this action.


    Withdrawing his head quickly, Ryan glanced at Nicole''s face. The Australian girl bit her lip tightly, her face was not very beautiful, she seemed to be holding back something.


    "Ye... I''m sorry. Nicole, I apologize."


    Rarely saw Nicole''s expression, Ryan thought she was mad, and she couldn''t help but feel a little apprehensive.


    The Australian girl took a breath at this time, as if she had scattered something, and then she came over with a cold voice, "Get up. I''ll ask you for leave."


    In the sound of the slamming door, Ryan''s eyes straightened, and he secretly sighed that as he got older, his self-control ability in some aspects seemed to be getting worse and worse.


    Lifting the quilt, Ryan couldn''t help but glance down. The hormones during puberty were like air defense radars equipped with alarms. Squeaking.


    What about the self-control you are proud of? Be calm! It¡¯s not long before you will grow up! At that time you will have enough capital!


    After washing, Ryan walked out of the bathroom and kept admonishing himself in his heart.


    Putting on the home clothes, before leaving the house, Ryan glanced at the glass showcase again, and the two statuettes. A phonograph is a long way from being full.


    "Lisa, go and warm up the breakfast. And Ryan, you are not allowed to read the newspaper during breakfast."


    Take the big envelope and walk down the stairs. Ryan had just taken a thick stack of newspapers, and Nicole''s voice over there was already heard.


    "Ok."


    Ryan responded, took the newspaper and sat on the sofa in the living room, and took a look at this time before breakfast. Is it okay?


    After browsing the current affairs page roughly, Ryan focused on the entertainment page that is closely related to him, because the Grammy just ended last night and most of the newspaper''s entertainment headlines gave it to it.


    As usual, the various reports have their own merits, some are called Qu Ming, some criticize the Recording Association''s award standards, some sing hymns for certain singers, and some specialize in writing red carpet gossip.


    No matter what kind of newspaper, one of the key points is that Michael Jackson won the Contemporary Legend Award. Most people think that no one will be able to surpass him in pop music in more than ten or twenty years.


    Of course, there are still not a few people who throw sewage. There are many newspapers and periodicals, including a lot of mainstream media, who use his skin to talk about things.


    Ryan didn''t bother to read the true and false news, and there were many articles criticizing him.


    "Eric Clapton is more qualified than Ryan Jenkins for the best album of the year award. The Recording Association awarded this award to Ryan just to quell the grievances of his massive fans, otherwise God would know this. Energetic little guy, will the Grammys be taken apart?"


    "The success of Ryan Jenkins''s first solo album is more about business, and it is far less artistic than Eric Clapton. The Recording Association actually bowed its head in front of business, and I have to say it is A kind of sadness..."


    This kind of criticism will appear after every awards ceremony, Ryan won''t care, do they say it is more useful? Will the Recording Association deprive him of his qualifications? Take the phonograph back?


    Compared to criticizing, there are more media praised him, and a report in the "New York Times" is very representative.


    "The album "Ryan Jenkins" deserves to be the best album of the year. Originally, we thought that Ryan was the most likely to win the best rookie of the year among the three nominations, but the Grammys maintained The consistent style hindered the development of the rap band, but gave Ryan the heavier album of the year."


    ¡°We don¡¯t need to evaluate the standards of the Recording Association. We just need to look at the quality of Ryan¡¯s first solo album. Today, this album has sold more than 10 million copies in North America. According to incomplete statistics, global sales There are definitely more than 15 million copies, among which "he", "climbing" and "because of you" have been on the top of the bulletin board rankings. Among them, the grasp of popular elements..."


    Nicole''s hand suddenly fell on the newspaper, and Ryan had to put the newspaper down and walked into the restaurant.


    Breakfast is very simple, with toast omelettes and toasted muffins, plus a large cup of hot milk. Looking at the young housekeeper, Ryan suddenly remembered another thing.


    "Lisa, there is a letter on the table in the living room, mail it to New York for me, thank you."


    "Letter to Miss Natalie?" Lisa asked casually.


    "Ok."


    After breakfast, Ryan walked back to the living room and found that Nicole was sitting on the sofa, frowning and looking at some documents, and from time to time he would make phone calls to discuss things with others.


    "What is this?" Ryan walked over.


    "Do you want to help me, dear?" Nicole handed over a copy.


    Looking at the above table and figures, Ryan couldn''t help being dizzy, and he could guess without looking closely. It must be the financial statement sent by him and Nicole''s accountant.


    "This is a report from Scott and the accounting firm." Nicole''s words confirmed his guess.


    There are very few mistakes in accounts that are cross-audited by lawyers, accountants, and foundations. Ryan used to look at the reports, and then he simply pushed all the work to Nicole. He knew that he was not that piece of material. Instead of wasting time on this, it is better to write and draw.


    ¡°Last year¡¯s royalties from the publishing house and the remuneration just paid in advance, the share of Hollywood Records, the share of revenue from Jenkins Pictures, the share of your script and the copyright of the adaptation... Well, there is also our remuneration and advertising contract revenue, and then the name Stocks and fixed industries."


    Nicole flipped through the accounts while giving a brief explanation for Ryan. As a guardian, she was nominally the controller of these properties, but in fact she rarely interfered with Ryan''s investment activities.


    "Have all our income arrived in the account last year?" Ryan asked.


    "It''s the account." Nicole nodded, suddenly remembering something. "I heard Scott say that you want to buy Pixar?"


    "Yes."


    Ryan nodded. Pixar''s current situation seems to be worse than what he had learned in his previous life. Although it means that Steve Jobs will sell Pixar for the last time in the year, and then he gritted his teeth and persevered without anyone asking. But Rui Well, I don''t want to wait any longer, who knows if there will be accidents in this year.


    "Ryan, this is not the acquisition of a game studio for two million dollars, and it is a project that Scott has been investigating for a long time. This transaction may reach tens of millions of dollars. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s too sloppy? ?"


    Obviously, Nicole and Scott Swift are not optimistic about the future development of Pixar. This is normal. In fact, few people in the industry are optimistic about them. Otherwise, Jobs would not want to sell them every year but never sell them. Get out.


    "Nicole, this is not a hasty decision. Do you remember the charity party we attended two years ago?"


    "Charity party?" Nicole immediately remembered. At the time, Ryan had also said something with Steve Jobs, the owner of Pixar, "Should not..."


    "Yes, actually, Scott''s team has been observing them not long after that. I don''t want to talk about the future prospects of 3D computer animation." Ryan looked at Nicole very seriously, "If they make a 3D animation films have been a big success. We will put Pixar on the market. Then you and I will have billions of dollars, and we will become the top group of people in Hollywood."


    "What about failure?" Nicole remained unmoved.


    "Even if it fails, at most our net worth is reduced by half. Given our age, this is nothing at all, is it?"


    Ryan squeezed his chin and used such a large sum of money. Without the signature of the guardian, he didn''t even have to think about it. Originally, he wanted to find another opportunity to convince Nicole. Now that he talked about this aspect, he simply said it.


    Besides, Pixar can not just buy it. It requires a large amount of money to maintain its daily operation, and the production of "Toy Story" is also a costly investment. (To be continued.

 Chapter 158： Pixar

    Richmond, California, a very humble coastal town. Steve Jobs officially moved Pixar here in 1990. Even after various measures including layoffs were introduced, it still could not change its destiny of successive losses, even though 91 An animation contract was signed with Disney in 1998, but because of Michael Eisner''s obstruction and the strong advancement of the "Lion King" project, the funds were delayed.


    Due to the long-term failure to make profits, instead of successive losses, Steve Jobs decided to sell Pixar since 1991, with some companies including Microsoft. However, in addition to his old rivals, other companies have made offers. Look at the future of Pixar.


    Until 1993, Pixar was still in the hands of Steve Jobs, just like in the past few years, he was still looking for the next home for this animation studio, and there was still only one company that offered the price-Microsoft!


    In the past two years, Pixar Studios had no choice but to provide computer animation production services for other companies. They produced TV commercials for brands such as Tropicana and Listerine, struggling to maintain the studio''s operations.


    At this time, in Pixar''s single-story office area, in a conference room, several people are discussing the serious problems facing the studio.


    "Ed, I heard that Steve wants to sell the studio again?"


    The speaker is John Lasseter, Pixar''s veteran and creative director.


    "That''s right!" Ed Kamel nodded helplessly, "Next computer business is not good, I think you should all be aware that Steve had some trouble with funding, and Pixar lost money last year..."


    He made a gesture that everyone knew.


    "What about Disney? The $26 million investment they promised hasn''t arrived yet!" Jim Morris said angrily, "They signed a contract with us for an animated feature film, but they refused to invest money!"


    "Michael Eisner said that before "The Lion King" is released, he will not consider executing that contract." Ed Kamel was rather helpless. Pixar, like its owner Steve Jobs, has been in bad luck since entering the 90s.


    "I heard that Steve is currently negotiating with Microsoft, maybe we should be prepared..." Andrew Stanton was also helpless in his words.


    "Don''t blame Steve, he is a businessman first, and a computer enthusiast second. In the past few years, he has invested nearly 30 million in funds, but he has not received a return. Selling Pixar is a normal business practice."


    Ed Kamel has no intention of judging Steve Jobs''s behavior, after all, the other party is a profit-seeking businessman.


    "We should save ourselves." John Lasseter waved his fist. "We should pool the remaining funds. Start the animated feature film and make a clip for Disney to see and let them understand that 3D computer animation is the future. !"


    "John, I think you should have heard of Michael Eisner''s arbitrariness, do you think that will change his mind? Also, "The Lion King" is a work by Ryan Jenkins, and you all know the name. The appeal of the representatives behind, do you think they will give up 2d animation and support us instead?"


    "Ed. In fact, the animated feature film I want to make is also the work of Ryan Jenkins." John Lasseter seemed to have prepared for a long time. He took out a book of "Ryan Tales" from under his seat and quickly turned it over. open. "Toy Story! I think you should have seen this short story. Toys that have been given life are very suitable for computer animation."


    Of course they have all seen this story, and those who are still at Pixar are all people full of imagination and childlike innocence. Whimsical works like "The Collection of Ryan Tales" suit their appetite best.


    In fact, they discussed this project a long time ago, but later on due to funding issues.


    The others smiled helplessly. Ed Kamel said, "Yes! We have discussed this project before, haven''t we, John? But have you thought about another question?"


    "Funds!" He pointed to the "Ryan Tales" in front of the other party. "Just last year, Sony Columbia wanted to buy the "Game of the Brave" in it for an asking price of US$4 million plus 3% of North America. The box office was divided, but his agent refused without hesitation...Well, what do we use to impress that super genius? Do you expect to get a free license?"


    There was silence in the conference room. "Toy Story" was just a short story, and it was bound to be adapted into a script. Now who doesn¡¯t know that Ryan Jenkins¡¯s story is likely to become a hot movie without paying a considerable price. How is it possible to get it?


    "Well, let''s get in touch first. If we do it, we still have hope. If we don''t do it, we can only wait." John Lasseter is obviously not giving up.


    "If there is good news that Pixar is going to produce Ryan Jenkins, maybe we can get new investment, the pressure on Steve''s side can also be less." Andrew Stanton added.


    "okay then."


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Very, very unexpectedly, Ryan didn''t expect that he was playing Pixar''s idea, and the other party contacted him, of course, this has nothing to do with the acquisition.


    Historical inertia has shown its power. The "Toy Story" written by him in advance has become a favorite of the other party. It seems that except for the people around him who are directly affected by him, the rest of the people and things are after a circle. , Will always return to the origin.


    After receiving the phone call from Jinsli, Ryan thought about it a little bit and asked the other party to visit Pixar''s studio. A day later, they happily agreed.


    After getting out of the car, Nicole Kidman looked at the one-story studio in front of him, and couldn''t help but curl his lips.


    "Okay, Nicole, we are here to visit, not to provoke."


    Ryan knew that Nicole did not have an opinion about the studio, but about the person in front of the studio. Obviously, she remembered the arrogant attitude of Steve Jobs two years ago.


    "Hello, Mr. Jobs."


    Saying hello to this well-known fellow in the past, and shaking hands with the two people he introduced, Ryan looked at each other one by one, much younger than the image in memory.


    "Mr. Lasseter, I have seen "The Adventures of Andrew and the Power" directed by you. It is very good." The last one. It is the director of the previous life "Toy Story".


    Originally, the people who contacted Ryan were John Lasseter and Ed Kamel, but it seems that Steve Jobs is the main one, even though the other party can be regarded as the godfather of business in his previous life. , But his arrogant personality and self-centered style make people unlikable.


    I believe that if Pixar hadn''t asked for himself, this guy would probably only show indifference and arrogance just like the last time I met.


    Ryan is fortunate to say, after all, he has heard of him in his previous life.


    Nicole was different, and he was quite polite in the face of John Lasseter and Ed Camel. When dealing with Jobs, the pointed chin was directly exposed.


    Ryan knew very well that in the eyes of each other, he and Nicole were nothing more than entertainment stars. In front of business tycoons like him, they should be born at a lower level.


    It''s just that Steve Jobs will not understand that his and Nicole''s assets may not be inferior to him. Steve Jobs is not even a billionaire.


    "In Pixar, there is no distinction between upper and lower. Any employee can directly state his views when facing the boss. Our studio is actually an amusement park."


    Walking in the oddly arranged studio, Steve Jobs introduced without a word. Ed Kamel will add a few words from time to time.


    Ryan also looked at each of the workshops, each of them was different, some were like a football locker room, and some were like a video game room. Others are like a gypsies¡¯ busker stall. It¡¯s not like a company, but like a dazzling array of Chinatown.


    More than that. Sometimes I could hear some computer programmers yelling, and he even saw the two people blushing because of a little disagreement. It seemed that they could fight at any time, but then it seemed that nothing happened. Continue to be close. Uninterrupted cooperation.


    As for the ¡°follow offense¡± mentioned by Jobs, Ryan had heard of it in his previous life, but he had not seen it. In fact, he could vaguely guess that there is no distinction between upper and lower, and the upper refers to Ed Kamel and Andrew Stanton. Wait, if anyone dares to choke with Steve Jobs, with his character...


    Although the goal has been determined, along the way, whether it is Ryan or Nicole, they remain silent. I believe that as long as they show interest, this guy will dare to call a sky-high price in future negotiations with Scott. Come.


    Never underestimate the desire of a successful businessman for profit! This is what Scott Swift said on the phone before he came.


    "How do you feel, Ryan? Is Pixar different from other studios?" Ed Kamel asked with a smile.


    "Um...how do you say it, it feels messy, don''t mind, you should know that I am a layman about these, this is just a personal opinion."


    Ryan showed off his acting skills when he won the Oscar Figurine. Even Nicole next to him thought he was really not interested in Pixar Next, the two sides went to the reception room and talked about "Toys Adaptation of "General Mobilization".


    "3d animation is the future development trend. The first computer animation film will definitely be born in Pixar Studios. Although we are facing difficulties now, it will definitely surprise everyone in the future."


    John Lasseter was talking endlessly, as if trying to convince Ryan from the other side that they didn''t ask for a free license, as long as the other party was willing to lower the price.


    "I''ll consider it!" Ryan responded casually, which was not much different from a tactful refusal.


    After half an afternoon, he and Nicole took the initiative to leave, when Ed Kamel and John Lasseter had already shown disappointment on their faces.


    "Ryan, are you not interested in this messy studio?" Nicole Kidman asked when returning to the car in Los Angeles.


    "No, Nicole." Ryan shook his head and said firmly, "Let Scott start the acquisition negotiations." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 159： Show time conflict

    The large conference room was silent, and the thick curtains blocked the small windows tightly. More than a dozen people sat in large chairs, staring attentively at the silver-white curtain, and a small projector was playing. Thrilling images.


    Although the people present here, including Ryan, are considered veterans in this industry, when the giant Tyrannosaurus appeared in the picture, they still couldn¡¯t help showing a look of surprise. There is not much difference between real dinosaurs.


    Although there is no soundtrack, and even some of the voices of the characters are not added to it, this Tyrannosaurus is enough to kill everything in seconds.


    Its huge head easily knocked over a Ford off-road vehicle, opened its blood bowl, bit two tires with great flexibility, and stepped on the car. The sturdy off-road vehicle was as flat as paper. Go down.


    It was "Jurassic Park" that was shown on the screen. This was a small preview. The people sitting here were basically investors and producers.


    The film is just a sample after the initial editing. There are no front and back letters and soundtrack dubbing. Except for a few clips, even special effects have not been added. Even so, a limited number of dinosaur images are still for most people to watch. The tuts are amazing.


    Just an hour later, the trial meeting was over. Ryan was the first to clap his palms. As long as the remaining special effects maintain the level of Tyrannosaurus, this "Jurassic Park" will still sweep the world''s movie market.


    "Stephen, it''s excellent. That Tyrannosaurus is even better than I thought."


    When he approached the Jewish director, Ryan gave a small compliment. Although Spielberg was smiling brightly, he couldn''t hide the exhaustion on his face.


    "Thank you, Ryan, to get the compliment from you as the original author. I think this is the greatest success."


    During this time, Spielberg has to take care of the later stages of the two films. The pressure is indeed very high, even if the latter part of "Jurassic Park" is mostly in charge of George? Lucas.


    "Trust me, this movie will create an amazing record."


    Ryan greeted Catherine Kennedy, and looked at Ron Meyer who came by, "Ron, is the movie release date set?"


    "Definitely in the summer file, I would like to ask for your opinion on the specific date."


    The publicity of the film has been in full swing since the day it started, and Ron Meyer has no pressure on the summer release.


    "The first week of June." Ryan had thought about it a long time ago, even if they didn''t ask. He would also take the initiative to suggest, "Throughout the summer, all movies can only tremble in the shadow of "Jurassic Park"!"


    "Hmm... there are still three months, Stephen, can you finish it later?" Ron Meyer looked at the other side.


    "There is no problem."


    Spielberg said vowedly.


    "Also." Ryan said again, "Do you think, how about putting the premiere screening location in the National Museum of Natural History in Washington?"


    "Good idea, we can also invite some naturalists to participate in the premiere. This is very helpful for the promotion of the film."


    Ryan just gave some suggestions, and he was not good at specific tasks. After a little discussion with Spielberg on other aspects of the film. I left Universal Studios.


    Time entered March. After close preparations by Miramax, "Sugar Coated Trap" was officially launched in the Cayman Islands. Ryan Brad Pitt starred in the leading actor-the Michelle lawyer-Nicole Although there are not many scenes. It was the first time to rush to the crew.


    When we got home, it was getting late, and Ryan simply had dinner. Sitting on the sofa in the living room, changing TV channels back and forth.


    Scott Swift has been in contact with Steve Jobs several times, and the other party offered them a sky-high price of $80 million, treating them as fat sheep.


    However, the sky-high asking price to pay back the money on the spot is the principle that is applicable to all shopping malls. After several rounds of negotiations, the two sides are seeing the price of 55 million U.S. dollars. Since there are no competitors, Ryan is not in a hurry. On the other side, Jobs'' next computer company is in distress, and he needs a lot of money.


    Steve Jobs is now at the lowest stage in his life.


    Just after switching to cbs, Ryan was attracted by the picture on the TV, which was a trailer for an action movie.


    "In this summer, we will witness the return of the superstars. Tom Cruise and Demi Moore Lianyang starred. Columbia Pictures and Cruise Pictures invested 70 million US dollars to create it. It¡¯s dazzling. The super action giant "Raging Flames" will land in North America on June 4th, and spend the hot summer with you..."


    In the picture, the scenes of the helicopter crashing and the car colliding appeared one after another, and the blazing flames lit up half of the night sky. However, in this trailer of less than two minutes, whether it is the coquettish and **** Demi Moore, or The action scenes, large and small, are all foils, all to set off Tom Cruise''s handsome face.


    Ryan feels a toothache, as if this movie has been in production for more than a year, right? Sony actually put it in this summer file? The time just clashes with "Jurassic Park", I really don''t know if I should say I have good luck or they are bad.


    "Raging Flames" may surpass "Terminator 2", but is it possible? Ryan looked at the director¡¯s name on the subtitles and couldn¡¯t help shaking his head. Tony Scott is an excellent director, but he has more than one difference in commercial film production from James Cameron and Steven Spielberg. Grade.


    After thinking for a while, Ryan called Pie Jinsli¡¯s phone, and the ringing sound rang for a long time before Ryan heard the call connected there. Who knows it¡¯s not Jinsli that came first. the sound of.


    "It''s really annoying. Why did you call me at this time and told you to shut it down?" A man''s complaint came.


    "Sorry, Ryan..."


    Listening to Jinsli''s voice, Ryan had some enlightenment, and he seemed to be interrupting others'' good things. It was a sin.


    "Um...Pat, if you''re busy, let''s talk about it tomorrow."


    "It''s ok."


    Ryan tried to use short words to ask the question in his mind, and after receiving the answer from Jinsli, he hung up the phone quickly.


    It''s not easy to be a strong woman! Ryan is very general. As far as he knows, Pai Jinsli has parted ways with three boyfriends since 90 years. It seems that if she continues to be busy now, it may not last for a long time.


    However, he got the answer he wanted in the phone call just now, and Sony Columbia has indeed established a very close cooperative relationship with Cruise Pictures under the name of Tom Cruise.


    Frankly speaking, his appearance in Hollywood has brought a lot of changes to the major film companies. For example, Sony Columbia has lost the distribution rights of movies such as "Terminator 2", which is more difficult than the same period in the previous life. If you continue to mix it up, say no Someday it will go bankrupt like Lianmei.


    Its Toyo owner is eager to change the status quo and adjusted the management of the film company. It is said that there are a few more hoops in the executive directors, and they are leading the project "Raging Flames".


    And the movie has been in publicity for a long time, but I didn''t notice it.


    But do these guys know how to play in the North American entertainment market? Sony has acquired Columbia Pictures for so many years, and it is still paying tuition fees. Is it possible that those hooligans really regard this place as their domestic entertainment circle, and they can let them make trouble?


    Ryan has heard that after Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, he was dissatisfied with the fact that there were more Americans than Japanese in the management of the film company. The poor performance of Columbia Pictures in recent years just gave them hands-on adjustments. Reason.


    Although Tom Cruise''s reputation has been getting worse in the past two years, he still has a lot of box office appeal. Sony has enough capital, and it seems that the two sides hit it off.


    If Sony Columbia is willing to drag Tom Cruise into the pit and can''t climb out, Ryan is still happy to see it happen, even if these guys should want to share a big piece of cake from the North American entertainment market.


    In addition, Tom Cruise is not only the starring role. According to Jinsli, Cruise Pictures has invested more than 15 million US dollars in it. He also served as the producer. Have considerable right to speak.


    Originally, Ryan hadn''t had a good way to deal with Tom Cruise. The plan was to wait until he became an adult when his foundation was solid, and then he could find a way to start.


    Fifteen million dollars is not a small number. If the other party loses his money, it should be painful, right? Let Tom Cruise not make money, or even lose moneyRyan will naturally be very happy.


    If it''s another movie, Ryan may still be scrupulous about one or two, this is "Jurassic Performance"! It¡¯s a super big production that kills young and old, not to mention the "Raging Flames" that I have never heard of in my previous life. Even if "Terminator 2" encounters it, James Cameron will shun it.


    Ryan just watched the sample film in the afternoon. Due to more sufficient funds, the completed special effects clips are slightly better than the previous life. Also, this film has a large number of book fans as the foundation, and in terms of distribution channels, Universal The film industry has an advantage over outsiders like Sony.


    The market share of North American movies is there. Among the movies released in the same period, if there is a big hit, the box office of other movies will naturally be affected. As long as "Jurassic Park" can show the momentum of the past life, now In this era, R-rated action movies can almost be crushed.


    If you want to sell movies, you have to increase your publicity. It seems that you should cooperate with the crew''s publicity plan.


    In just a short time, a lot of thoughts passed through Ryan¡¯s head. The premiere of "Jurassic Park" on June 3, and its full release in major theaters in North America on June 4, was really an order. The day people look forward to. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 160： Big Ship in Southampton

    When the two big investment and big productions get together and released, although the quality of the film is the decisive factor in the box office, the impact of publicity and hype should not be ignored. Ryan also tried his best to cooperate with the crew¡¯s publicity plan as "Jurassic Park "Create momentum.


    After deciding on the schedule, Universal Pictures first released the trailer edited by Spielberg himself. The premiere date on June 3 and the few dinosaur special effects shots are very conspicuous. Many people understand that the two investment Films worth around $70 million will be compared in the summer.


    This is a very normal business competition. No one can say anything. Although Ryan Jenkins¡¯ gossip about Tom Cruise spread throughout the United States within a few days, neither Universal Pictures nor Sony Columbia said anything. Instead of wasting saliva on this, it is better to do the preliminary work before the movie is released.


    It¡¯s still far from the movie¡¯s release, and Ryan is barely shirtless. As one of his side''s trump cards, he naturally has to appear at a critical moment.


    Ok! This is just his contented thought.


    The Audi parked in front of the Planet Hollywood restaurant, waiting for the two cars in front to put down the passengers in it. Ryan turned his head and looked to the rear. The old Ford was like the twin brother of the Audi. It was not far away. Shake slowly.


    Now, Ryan already knows that the Latin paparazzi is called Garcia Rodriguez. He was once a soldier. Because of discrimination, he beat a white officer and was removed from the army.


    Of course, this was not told to him, but George checked the guy''s old days clearly through the relationship.


    "George, find a chance to talk to him." Ryan whispered.


    "I understand." George answered.


    It¡¯s not difficult to live a decent life, is it? Ryan glanced at the Ford again.


    After getting out of the car, the first thing that caught Ryan''s eyes was the reporter''s flashing light and the short red carpet, and he couldn''t help but sigh. The restaurant that Stallone and Schwarzenegger had worked hard to save their investment.


    Although the Planet Hollywood restaurant has attracted people''s attention after its opening, the three big action superstars are not the stuff of business at all. Although it has hired a dedicated manager, the passenger flow seems to be not small, but it has been unable to make ends meet for more than a year.


    Bruce Willis simply withdrew, while Stallone and Schwarzenegger used their influence to continuously advertise the restaurant. Even the future governor has been sitting in the most conspicuous position of the restaurant every day in recent months. Have breakfast and occasionally call friends to hold parties here.


    He is the host of this party tonight. Not only invited many Hollywood stars, big and small, but also a lot of media, hoping to use this method to make a loud advertisement for the restaurant.


    Ryan beckoned to the reporter, walked to the door of the restaurant, and saw the sturdy figure of Schwarzenegger from a distance. The brown-haired woman next to him should be his wife, John F. Kennedy''s niece. Leah Schlevo.


    People''s impression of Schwarzenegger is mostly a muscular man on the screen. In fact, he has a very high IQ, which can be seen from the choice of his wife. It is difficult to say whether he has plans to enter politics in the future.


    "Hi, Arnold." Ryan dissipated the mess of thoughts. He strode up, shook his hand firmly with Schwarzenegger, and turned to the other side, "Ms. Schlevor. Hello."


    "Hello, Ryan, just call me Mary."


    "It''s a great honor. Mary." She shook his hand gently with the other party, and Ryan stopped Schwarzenegger, "Hey, Arnold, we are old friends, so we don''t need this kind of politeness."


    "Well, Ryan, Jim, they are all inside."


    Schwarzenegger stopped and whispered a few words to a waiter, who led Ryan into it.


    The guests tonight are not only Hollywood stars, but also many business celebrities. Ryan occasionally greets people he knows. After turning a corner, he quickly saw James Cameron.


    He was standing with Linda Hamilton and was discussing something with several other people. After seeing Ryan, his eyes couldn''t help but brighten.


    "Ryan, here."


    "Hi, Jim, and Linda, it''s been a long time."


    Ryan greeted the people around him, "May I know what you are discussing, Jim?"


    "In addition to movies, what else can we discuss?" Shirley Lansing of Paramount was talking. "The two movies started almost at the same time. "Jurassic Park" is about to be released, "True Lies." There is still a little distance from completion."


    "Meticulous production, the requirements for every detail are almost strict. Isn''t this the style of James Cameron?" Ryan spread out and said witty.


    "Yes, even if "True Lies" is completed, it''s best to postpone it until July. Are we going to face the competition of "Jurassic Park", it will definitely be a disaster." Grant Hill Then I interrupted, "Not every film company has the courage of Sony Columbia. If you don''t talk about movie fans, Ryan''s book fans alone will be enough to push the box office of this movie to a terrifying number."


    "By the way, Ryan, don''t you consider the film adaptation of the Harry Potter series?" Shirley Lansing meant something.


    "I won''t think about it in a short time. The current film technology can''t make the picture I imagined, even if it is Industrial Light and Magic." Ryan knows very well that many film companies are eyeing their eyes. If "Jurassic Park" is a big success, This situation will go further.


    "That''s a shame. Many people want to see our little wizard waving a little magic wand on the big screen one day earlier."


    After a few more chats, Grant Hill and Shirley Lansing went to the other side to socialize, and Linda Hamilton was also taken away by a woman.


    "Oh, it''s so pitiful, we are the only two men left." Cameron sighed, then squeezed his eyes and said, "Ryan, I heard you are buying Pixar?"


    There is no permanent secret in this circle. As the negotiation time gets longer and longer, the news naturally spreads out.


    "Yes, it''s almost done."


    Ryan had nothing to say, and nodded directly.


    "Oh, God, am I going to bring you to invest together?" Cameron waved his hand.


    "Invest? What to invest in?" Ryan frowned strangely.


    "Stan Winston and I plan to jointly establish a special effects studio."


    Hearing Cameron''s words, Ryan gradually remembered, isn''t it, Hollywood''s second largest special effects company in the digital field was born in their hands.


    "That can only be said to be sorry, Jim, I currently have no funds on hand." Ryan shrugged helplessly and joked, "If you agree to the credit, I will definitely join it."


    Cameron just smiled, and Ryan naturally understood that friendship belongs to friendship and business belongs to business.


    "Or, we jointly invest in a movie." Cameron suddenly changed the subject. "How about Spider-Man?"


    "Spider-Man?" Ryan pouted, "Come on, Jim, the copyright is in the hands of the Japanese."


    "These are not problems. In fact, I intend to invite you to write the script together. Of course, that will be after the completion of "True Lies."


    "Really?" Ryan laughed unscrupulously, "Let me think about it, you will let Peter Parker get stuck in a cage of thoughts, and the whole movie will be completely darkened. Maybe you will let Peter Parker. And Mary Jane was up and down the Brooklyn Bridge..."


    "How did you guess?" Cameron''s mouth opened in surprise.


    "You all said you guessed it, of course you guessed it. Based on what I know about you, it''s not difficult, isn''t it?" Ryan finished his words casually, and said, "You are better at technology and machinery, why? Do not continue to develop in this area?"


    Ryan knows very well that this guy is a crazy Spider-Man fan. If it is possible to get the copyright, he would really go to make this movie.


    "Do you have a new idea?"


    "Of course, the premise is that "True Lies" can be a big success, otherwise where to find 200 million US dollars in investment?"


    In order to prevent any accidents, Ryan is writing "Titanic" in the script, which will be handed over to this guy after completion.


    "I think Ryan Jenkins works are more box-office appealing than James Cameron''s works right now?" Cameron joked, and then became serious, "Let¡¯s talk about it, here are the two of us."


    "Then... okay." Ryan lifted his chin and circled Cameron. "Jim, I heard that you like diving. You rented a submarine last vacation and went to the Atlantic Ocean?"


    "Yes." Cameron nodded.


    "Then you are not going to see the huge ship that sank in the early twentieth century, the one that sailed out of Southampton Harbor?" Ryan reminded.


    "Southampton? You mean..." James Cameron suddenly realized, Ryan interrupted him, "Yes, think about it, if you replicate the one-to-one giant ship and reproduce the shipwreck, of course What do you think is fairy-tale love among them?"


    Cameron realized why Ryan said it was an investment of 200 million US dollars. Even if it was to build a model that would not start, it would cost tens of millions of dollars. This is really a crazy idea.


    But this suits his appetite.


    "Jim, if you take a vacation this time, how about going to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see the huge ship in person?" Ryan said in a seductive tone.


    "Okay, Ryan, as long as you are together."


    James Cameron immediately countered.


    "Hi, what are you talking about?" Schwarzenegger and Shirley Lansing walked over together.


    "Nothing, Ryan''s new idea and new script." Cameron answered casually.


    "Really, Ryan?" Shirley Lansing''s eyes lit up immediately, "If possible, would you give Paramount a priority?"


    "Come on, Shirley, are you sure Paramount still has the energy to invest in new movies?" Grant Hill didn''t know when he returned.

 Chapter 161： A warrior facing the dinosaur

    Paramount is the oldest of the major Hollywood giants. After entering 1993, it was caught in a whirlpool of trouble, which gradually affected daily operations.


    At the beginning of this year, after four consecutive years of observation, the Viacom Group, which Summer Redstone holds an absolute controlling stake, filed an application for the good faith acquisition of Paramount Pictures.


    At first, everything went smoothly. Who knew that the situation changed suddenly last month.


    Redstone¡¯s wife, like Summer Redstone¡¯s previous two large acquisitions, once again filed an application for divorce in the court. If the court ruled that they were divorced, Redstone¡¯s property would be divided equally in half regardless of the current merger. In China, the full control of Viacom will be in danger, and he has to urge his wife to revoke the application to calm the flames in the backyard.


    At the same time, another media giant, Barry Diller, the president of the American TV Shopping Network, also wanted to buy Paramount Pictures, and was backed by the support of some Wall Street people and gathered a large amount of money.


    In this way, the acquisition has reached a stalemate, and within a few months it is difficult to tell.


    Paramount¡¯s management inevitably fell into a split. Some people represented by Shirley Lansing were Viacom supporters, some were Barry Diller¡¯s supporters, and others wanted A person who maintains a special status.


    Although Ryan remembers that Viacom finally successfully acquired Paramount, the specific process and timing are not known to him. Besides, this kind of acquisition of tens or even tens of billions of dollars is not what he is now. Can be blended.


    "Ryan, what did you discuss with Jim just now?" Shirley Lansing asked unwillingly.


    "The story of a ship."


    Ryan winked at Cameron, and neither of them had any intention of revealing it to the outside.


    "How about choosing me as the captain?"


    Arnold Schwarzenegger came over with a wine glass.


    "Are you sure?" Ryan deliberately looked at him up and down. "The captain sank to the bottom of the sea with his car."


    "seabed?"


    "Come on, Arnold." Ryan changed the subject. "I heard that you were injured when you were shooting a horse riding scene?"


    "Yes." Schwarzenegger touched his ribs. "Fortunately, there was only a slight injury, no broken ribs."


    In the filming of "True Lies", the injuries far exceeded those when filming "Terminator 2". The main actors of the crew suffered minor or severe injuries. This is why the film has been delayed for so long. One reason for this.


    Now that he came to this kind of occasion, communication is essential. Under Schwarzenegger''s introduction, Ryan got to know many people in and outside the circle, even though he was still young. But the youthful appearance, elegant etiquette and witty conversation can always win the favor of quite a few people.


    "Then, goodbye Arnold." Near midnight, Ryan and his team walked out of the restaurant. He and Cameron chatted for a while, but they forgot the time. "And you, Jim. If you have time, welcome. You and Linda are coming to Beverly Hills as a guest."


    "When Nicole comes back from the location, we will definitely come to visit."


    Standing at the door waiting for the car, Linda Hamilton held Cameron''s arm. Said with a smile.


    "Well, I will definitely cook and entertain you by then."


    After Ryan said these words, the others laughed loudly. The reporter from a distance pressed the shutter again and again.


    The Audi stopped by the door, and Ryan pulled the car and beckoned to Schwarzenegger and Cameron. Ready to leave.


    "Ryan, don''t forget, we will go diving together in the Atlantic during the vacation." Cameron was clearly on purpose.


    "I never promised!"


    Ryan won''t get on the thief ship, he still remembers the helicopter trip in Miami.


    The black Audi car ran out of sight, seemingly afraid that James Cameron would drag its owner to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.


    "In a blink of an eye, Ryan has grown up." Arnold Schwarzenegger said suddenly.


    "The current results are probably just the beginning for that little guy."


    James Cameron patted his friend on the arm and got into the car with Linda Hamilton.


    Isn''t that the truth? Cameron was sitting in the back seat of the car, slightly lost. When he met Ryan Jenkins for the first time, he was still a skinny boy. I remember that it was the premiere of "Sixth Sense". He just said a few words. Helped myself solve the problem of t1000.


    Speaking of it, since I met him, I started to go smoothly. "Terminator 2" not only won more than 250 million U.S. dollars in the North American box office, it has also won close to 300 million U.S. dollars in overseas box office. Easily attracted more than 100 million U.S. dollars of investment for "True Lies."


    It¡¯s just that he has risen faster, but the other party is faster. Think about Ryan when he first met him two years ago. Ryan was still a budding child star. Two years later, he has been praised by quite a lot of media. The first ever child star in Hollywood.


    Although his works have different reputations, they have become a guarantee for the box office. He can always grasp the watching needs of the vast majority of audiences and create works that make the entire film market attractive.


    Even the most criticized, "Home Alone" by those film critics from the beginning to the end, still won more than 500 million US dollars in the global box office amidst the noise.


    Now "Jurassic Park" carries the power of novels, and is about to strike forcefully. Although facing the competition of "Raging Flames", he does not think the latter can pose a threat.


    Unlike others, he watched Ryan Jenkins walk step by step. Frankly speaking, he was more confident in Ryan than he had confidence in the movie.


    Ryan is never afraid of challenges, just like creating "Bodyguard" in the eyes of suspicion! He hasn''t failed yet. Even the "Resident Evil" criticized by book critics has unknowingly inspired a zombie culture in North America.


    What if your work meets "Jurassic Park"? Cameron had this idea in his mind. I really don¡¯t know if I should say that Sony Columbia is courageous or silly?


    Maybe they think they are dragon-slaying warriors?


    In fact, after Universal Pictures announced the release date of "Jurassic Park", there was a lot of controversy within Sony Columbia. Many American executives suggested changing the schedule of "Raging Flames", but Japanese executives did not. Think this movie is good enough to compete with each other.


    Today, the board of directors of Sony Columbia has been completely controlled by the Japanese. Under their strong push, "Raging Flames" has launched a fiery propaganda war.


    "We have already signed contracts with theaters, which involve the interests of advertisers, sponsors, and peripheral manufacturers. If you arbitrarily postpone the release date, it will not only waste the huge amount of initial investment in publicity costs, but also pay a large sum of money. Liquidated damages..."


    The Japanese are not fools either. All aspects of the interests involved in such a large investment of tens of millions of dollars won the support of the head office without much effort.


    "I haven''t taken other films for more than a year, just to prepare for "Raging Flames"." In the TV talk show, Tom Cruise was talking, "I wrote the script together with Robert Downey. There will be many unexpected scenes in the movie, and all the action shots will be played by me personally, and I will never use any substitutes."


    As he said, he rolled up his trousers, revealing several small scars on his calf that were not obvious. "The action scene in this movie is absolutely wonderful, I dare say it will create a new pattern for action movies."


    "I heard that you still have investments in it? As a producer?" the host asked cooperatively.


    "Yes, Cruise Pictures invested 15 million U.S. dollars. Tony Scott and I served as the producer of the film together. We are confident that we will bring more than "High Aspirations" to the audience in the United States. ..."


    Although there is still some time before the movie is released, the publicity station to compete for the summer file has already started ahead of schedule. The limelight of "Raging Flames" and "Jurassic Park" even overwhelmed the upcoming Oscars.


    The Internet in this era is not yet mature, and is far less influential than traditional media. Although Ryan is very knowledgeable about personal hype, he is a layman on how to promote movies.


    Of course, if you go to the bottom of the theater to promote it, it will be different, after all, there are too many contacts in the previous life.


    He knows a lot of film propaganda methods, that is, viral marketing, but it can''t play a big role. First, he lacks a powerful network carrier, and second, he can''t grasp that degree.


    Viral marketing actually appeared a long time ago, but it was completely developed after the prosperity of the Internet, and it has very big flaws. Once it exceeds people''s psychological tolerance, it will only bring It is disgust.


    Those who just started eating crabs will get unexpected benefits, but if they use too many times, the effect of this thing will plummet.


    As for the bottomless hype, it doesn''t fit Ryan''s future positioning, and there is no need to kill a thousand enemies and hurt yourself eight hundred.


    "The image of the dinosaur in the film originally came from me, but when we made the film, we hired professional archaeologists and naturalists. You must have seen the distant dinosaurs in the trailer. What I want to say is, wait for the film. When the Tyrannosaurus rex in the middle appeared, it would definitely give people an unprecedented surprise. Stephen did a great job, and Industrial Light & Magic, they teamed up to reproduce those prehistoric monsters, even better than I thought! I promise, it will Let everyone see the extremely real dinosaurs!"


    Since he wanted to publicize, when Ryan was interviewed by reporters, he naturally turned the topic to "Jurassic Park", "Jurassic is a real era, so far away from us, now you only need to walk into the theater, To see these former overlords of the earth, the movie is absolutely as exciting as the novel."

 Chapter 162： Blue Sky and Pixar

    The editorial office of the Los Angeles Liberty was quiet, everyone was staring at the Latino man who was squeezed out by them, so did Garcia Rodriguez resign? Also opened a survey and consulting company and became the boss by himself?


    To be honest, although it is also a paparazzi, there are three or six or nine points. Even if that guy often captures Ryan Jenkins''s exclusive, he is highly regarded by the editor-in-chief, so he doesn''t hire them as white colleagues to see him.


    The other party has indeed made a lot of money over the past six months. Is this money enough for him to start a consulting company? Many people have raised such questions.


    Under the surveillance of the security, Garcia quickly packed up his belongings and walked out of the editorial office without looking back. He didn''t say hello to anyone. Those were guys who often ridiculed him behind his back, why bother?


    status! Decent people''s lives! These are the things that Garcia pursued. Paparazzi and Ryan Jenkins helped him get rid of the slums, and now he will have his own company.


    After leaving the editorial office, Garcia got into his old Ford car. Thinking of the meeting a few days ago, it seemed a little unbelievable.


    After several conversations with the handsome man named George, he received support from a foundation in the Cayman Islands and became one of the partners of a survey and consulting company, although he only took up 20% of the shares. , Has become a veritable boss.


    Even if there are only a dozen people in the company, that''s the boss, isn''t it?


    Although the other party didn''t mention it, Garcia knew who was standing behind George. Why did the little guy he had been photographing with him for more than half a year like him?


    Garcia has no formal college education, and he doesn''t know who can die for a confidant, but he understands another truth. It is only natural to take people''s money to do things for others.


    What''s more, what the other party asked him to do was not something that violated the law.


    in fact. Garcia doesn¡¯t have to guess. Since the funds have gone around in such a big circle, it must be impossible to find Ryan Jenkins¡¯ head. After taking photos for so long, he knows that the other party has a strong team of lawyers and accountants. Even, the net worth estimated by the media is much lower than the actual net worth of the little guy.


    In any case, I am no longer a lowly paparazzi, but a person with a certain social status.


    Threw the thing he was holding onto the co-pilot. Garcia took out an envelope from his pocket. This was the first business he received to provide detailed information on a computer animation studio called Lantian in New York.


    After all, after experiencing the information explosion in the previous life, Ryan knew that many people in Hollywood had unclean hands and feet. When the rules on the bright side failed, some nasty methods would be used if they were not sure. Some of his measures were just precautions. .


    As we entered late March, Scott Swift had good news. He and Steve Jobs formally reached an agreement to acquire 90% of Pixar''s equity at a price of 50 million U.S. dollars, and the rest are scattered in the hands of several other founders. It has nothing to do with the overall situation.


    This price far exceeds what Jobs has invested in the past few years. With this money, the founder of Apple can also revitalize his next computer company.


    As for the lack of Pixar''s success, will it affect Jobs'' return to Apple? That''s not within Ryan''s consideration. Anyway, in the past few years, he doesn''t have much Apple stock in his hands.


    This money almost drained the cash flow of Ryan and Nicole. If it weren''t for his insistence, Scott would want to sell the stocks and fixed assets under the names of the two, it would be more than a loss.


    "I have finished what I want to say. I have been working with you for so many years..." In Pixar''s meeting room, Steve Jobs was giving his parting speech, "Finally, I wish Pixar every success."


    He turned his head and looked over, "Ryan, Pixar is yours."


    After speaking, he left the meeting room without looking back, he was truly a businessman.


    Ed Kamel, John Lasseter, and Andrew Stanton quietly looked at the teenager sitting at the top of the table. They met not long ago, but they didn¡¯t expect that each other would become their boss in a blink of an eye. .


    They have heard about this acquisition a long time ago, and they have opposed it in private. After all, when the other party visited last time, they said that Pixar was messy. If he becomes the master, will it change the relaxed atmosphere formed in the studio? And corporate culture?


    Besides, the other party is indeed a genius in film, but do you know computer animation? What if he gets involved in the daily work of the studio?


    The studio was silent, and the only forty employees were staring at Ryan to see what he would do.


    "Smack~"


    A soft sound broke the silence, and Ryan took out two thick document bags from his backpack and placed them on the long conference table in front of them.


    "Ed, John, Andrew, and Jim, I didn''t expect us to meet again in this way."


    As Ryan said, he pushed the two file bags to several people, "One is a script for Toy Story, the other is a sub-shot drawing of the toys. There are some opinions on it, which are my personal opinions. I don¡¯t understand computer animation, you guys. Just take a look."


    A few people could not wait to open the file bag, and other employees could not sit still and surrounded them. Needless to say, the script was not thick and could not see clearly what was written on it, but the pile was dozens of sheets. His colored pencil sketches were instantly divided by these people.


    "This is... Hu Di?"


    "This is Buzz Lightyear..."


    After all, "Ryan Tales" has been published for many years, and many people are familiar with the stories.


    Without waiting for what these people said, Ryan pointed to Scott, "I have asked Scott to borrow 20 million dollars for the daily operation of the studio and the production of "Toy Story". This is only the first and subsequent investment. It will be in place soon."


    "I believe that the first fully computer-animated feature film will be born in Pixar."


    Ryan''s voice at this time is tantamount to nature to these enthusiastic Pixar employees. What are they for so many years? Isn¡¯t it just the dreams and obsessions in your heart?


    "Mr. Jenkins..."


    "Please call me Ryan."


    "Well, Ryan, we need equipment, the most advanced computer..." Ed Kamel was interrupted by Ryan before he finished speaking, "No problem, Ed."


    "That..." He hesitated.


    Ryan naturally understood what these people were worried about. "Mr. Ed Kamel will still serve as the president of the studio, and you will still handle the daily affairs by yourself. I and Scott will not interfere with the operation of the studio. Apart from the necessary financial supervisors, I will not The studio is assigned to any employee."


    What he said hasn''t changed anything from the era of Steve Jobs. Ryan''s family knows his own affairs. As long as Pixar''s status quo is maintained, the success of "Toy Story" is bound to come.


    As for financial supervisors. That is necessary. He and Nicole''s accountants will perform their duties in this regard.


    Applause suddenly rang, and the series of measures announced by Ryan were obviously recognized by these people, which means that they can continue to follow their dreams.


    After retracting the drawing, Ed Kamel drove most of the employees out, and then said, "Thank you, thank you. Ryan!"


    "Don''t say that, Ed." Ryan waved his hand casually. "I bought Pixar because I am optimistic about your persistence and the future of computer animation. Of course, I am the same as Steve. In return. I believe Pixar won''t let me down, right?"


    "Definitely!" John Lasseter said first, "the script is confirmed. The character image and personality are determined, which will save a lot of time and expenses. Ryan, I promise, no more than three years, the first computer animation. Feature films will be born in Pixar."


    "I believe in this, and everyone believes in it, don''t you?"


    Ryan stretched out his hands humorously, causing everyone to laugh, and then Ed Kamel said, "Ryan, that contract between us and Disney..."


    "Well, I have a good relationship with Disney, and I think of a way to solve it."


    Hearing that contract, Ryan was also very helpless. If it were to be implemented in accordance with the contract, "Toy Story" would only be a wedding dress for the other party.


    Fortunately, I have mixed a foot in "The Lion King" in this life, triggering a series of butterfly effects, leading to the delay in the investment of 26 million US dollars promised by Disney, and I have enough reasons and excuses to terminate the contract.


    It really doesn''t work, just provide a few ideas for Disney, nothing more than an exchange of benefits.


    If all goes well, you will have to switch to another publisher for Pixar, preferably one that can sign a normal distribution agreement.


    However, don''t worry now, after all, "Toy Story" wants to be produced, there is no possibility for more than two years.


    Of course, after the vampire-style contract was cancelled, after Pixar succeeded, there would be a rift between him and Disney, especially the tyrant Michael Eisner.


    Regarding the daily affairs of the studio, Ryan will not go to the office, and exchanged some opinions on "Toy Story" with a few people. It is nothing more than summing up from the comments he has read in the previous life. Provide necessary help on the script and roles at any time before leaving.


    Pixar¡¯s business is over. The only trouble is the funding issue. Although Ryan has a lot of assets but not much cash, although he doesn¡¯t know much about it, he knows that the rendering of computer animation is all in US dollars. Burned out.


    In a blink of an eye, it was Oscar again. Ryan won''t go to the scene. Nicole also had a legitimate reason to be absent because of the location. Besides, they didn''t have active public relations and had already given up the best supporting actress.


    "The nominees for Best Supporting Actress include Miranda Richardson''s "Fire Lover", Vanessa Redgriffe''s "Howard Manor", Nicole Kidman "Yihai Xiongfeng", Marisa Tomei " My cousin Pooh..."


    "The best supporting actress was Marisa Tomei''s "My Cousin Pooh", congratulations Marisa Tomei!"


    In front of the TV, Ryan sighed This is normal, the pre-work has not been done, and it is impossible to get the goldman, but since this way, Nicole has accumulated another qualification.


    Turning off the TV, Ryan sat back at the desk, "Toy Story" was kicked out by him, and the progress of the other scripts naturally fell behind, as well as the latest episode of Harry Potter...


    After accepting the invitation of the Film Academy and becoming a member of thousands of members, Ryan also joined the Screenwriters Association, so that the scripts he wrote can be filed in advance, plus some small propaganda means by Jinsli. Nip the hidden danger that is not much.


    Besides, in addition to the stories based on Warcraft, he will publish other essays and articles on Vanity Fair from time to time, occupying some creativity and blocking the way for some people.


    For example, the last two stories are about the pursuit of murder and dreams. Like his previous works, they have been adapted appropriately, which can occupy this creativity without causing obvious spoilers.


    At the same time, Ryan also applied to join the Producers League. Because he has Jenkins Pictures under his name, strictly speaking, he already has this qualification, but age is a big issue. The Producers League has not yet given a clear answer. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 163： Ode to Joy

    In the headquarters building of Sony Columbia, a group of people sit around the table in a huge conference room. The host is the executive director of Sony Entertainment in the United States. Of Japanese descent, he also received American education since childhood.


    From the selection of actors to the selection of partners, the project of "Raging Flames" was solely responsible for him, and he even served as one of the producers himself.


    "At present, all work is progressing smoothly. In terms of publicity investment and intensity, we have steadily stabilized "Jurassic Park". Tommy''s box office appeal is still strong. Most people interviewed said that they would consider going to the cinema to watch. "Raging Flames"."


    A person in charge of propaganda is talking endlessly about the progress of the propaganda.


    "Don''t forget, "Jurassic Park" has a large number of fans, but it is a young book. It is very different from the audience of "Raging Flames". We don''t need to worry too much."


    The speaker is a Japanese descent, however, they don¡¯t know that Ryan¡¯s script protagonist is completely different from the novel¡¯s protagonist. "The biggest highlight of "Jurassic Park" is the conflict between dinosaurs and humans. Now the movie is rated as At PG-13 level, many shots of dinosaurs attacking humans will definitely be cancelled. In that case, it will definitely affect the quality of the film."


    "Yes!"


    Several yellow-skinned people nodded in agreement, and the faces of several American managers showed some doubts. The director of the film was Steven Spielberg.


    "Everyone, will you please listen to me?" American executive John Smith said, "The author of the script is Ryan Jenkins! Don''t forget, "Home Alone" is just a baby story, an adapted movie. But all the young and old are killed!"


    "Hey~ John, you''re worrying too much." Shigauchi shook his head, beckoned to the assistant, and sent a copy of the documents to everyone. "This is all the work written by Ryan Jenkins, whom I asked to count. The situation of the script. "Sixth Sense", "Home Alone", "Night Sleep in Seattle", "Bodyguard" and so on, did you find one thing in common? Except for "Bodyguard" because of that conflict..."


    He stopped suddenly and looked at the cream nanny, "Sorry, Tommy..."


    "It''s okay." Tom Cruise made a continued gesture to him.


    "Except for "Bodyguard", which exceeded US$40 million at the box office in the first week, all others are around US$30 million. Among them, "Sixth Sense" and "Home Alone" have the best box office performance. The release time in North America is 15 Zhou and 16 weeks, it is through the long-term screening that achieved such high box office numbers."


    There is a confident look in the majestic eyes of the island, "Therefore, I judge that the box office of "Jurassic Park" will not exceed 50 million U.S. dollars in the first week, and it may even be under 40 million U.S. dollars. And it came from the theater. It is reported that Universal Pictures has signed a long-term screening contract."


    Hearing his analysis, many people nodded, after all, the data will not deceive people.


    "Everyone, no one will be successful forever, even Spielberg has smashed his head. I admit that "Jurassic Park" has a strong appeal. But our "Raging Flames" will not be worse than them! "Tom Cruise stood up, confidence and pride flooded his handsome face.


    "Yes, I think what Tommy said is very reasonable." Shimauchi said in agreement, "The investment in "Raging Flames" is the same as "Jurassic Park", but the promotion and marketing are even better. As for the actors, we are here. There are two superstars, Tommy and Demi."


    They would not have thought that the actors in that movie were merely foils.


    "I am confident that "Raging Flames" can surpass "Jurassic Park" in the first week of the box office. It won the North American box office leaderboard!" Shigauchi said in conclusion.


    When the meeting was over, Tom Cruise walked out quickly, and his agent had no choice but to smile apologetically at everyone, and quickly followed.


    "Tommy, I''m still a little worried."


    The last agent has been fired, "Jurassic Park..."


    "Jack, don''t you think I can match that kid?"


    After a word from Tom Cruise. The agent closed his mouth obediently.


    This is only two years! Tom Cruise frowned. Two years ago, he was just a kid star. What about now? It can already influence Hollywood''s top film companies!


    After so many years in Hollywood, he knows it very well. If he attacks Ryan Jenkins again now, the first thing he will usher in is the counterattack of giants such as Warner, Paramount, and Walt Disney.


    This is an interest-oriented circle, and the benefits that Ryan Jenkins can provide for his alliance far exceed those of himself.


    Unlike the previous conceit, Tom Cruise felt a little guilty when he saw the little guy stepping towards the most powerful class in Hollywood. Maybe he didn¡¯t know that sentence¡ªthe one who knows you best is your enemy¡ª But it is clear that Ryan Jenkins is by no means a broad-minded person. He seems to have an extraordinary desire to protect Nicole Kidman. He has been targeting himself since the first meeting!


    The conflict that followed raised the contradiction between the two to a stage where they could no longer be reconciled. Those companies that wanted to cooperate with him instantly distanced themselves from themselves.


    Once the opponent has completely overwhelmed him, he will probably retaliate. Not to mention him, he will meet Nicole Kidman once in a while. The eyes of the opponent looking at him are clearly looking at the enemy of life and death.


    Tom Cruise understands that he has only one way to go, and that is to climb up and become the Heavenly King Mountain in Hollywood, and become one of the most powerful people!


    Frankly speaking, he did not expect that "Jurassic Park" would collide with his movie, but he soon realized that this was an opportunity. As long as "Raging Flames" surpassed "Jurassic Park", Can prove to the entire Hollywood that his value is above Ryan Jenkins, and disintegrate the other''s alliance of interests from the side.


    ...


    At the same moment on the same day, Ryan was dressed in a formal dress and sat upright on the stage of the school auditorium. His slender fingers were like jumping elves, falling on the black and white keys. The tune of "Ode to Joy" was cheerful. Jump out.


    In the second half of this May, the thirteen-year-old Ryan finally ushered in his elementary school graduation ceremony. As the school¡¯s star character and signboard, he must be on stage to perform. Besides, Nicole Kidman was sitting under the stage. A row, staring at him intently.


    "Boom~"


    The last scale fell, and the students and parents in the auditorium stood up and applauded. The waves of applause lasted for several minutes.


    There are not many opportunities to witness a super genius playing live!


    Going backstage and changing the dress, Ryan walked back to the auditorium and sat quietly next to Nicole.


    "Awesome, dear." Nicole showed a proud look on her face without concealment, "Perhaps you should try the piano professional eighth test."


    "Forget it, Nicole." Ryan doesn''t care much. Nicole''s praise is much better than the eighth level. "Those are not important, are they?"


    "Well, whatever you want."


    In recent times, as Ryan continues to rise, Nicole has also quietly changed the way the two get along.


    "Wow~"


    The applause rang again at this time, but it was much weaker than before. Ryan also stood up with the crowd and applauded the students performing on the stage.


    This is a typical American elementary school graduation ceremony. There is no speech from the principal or leader. There is always only one protagonist here, that is, the students. This is the stage for the students. Because of their age, they can¡¯t hold a dance party and can only show it in this way. With their respective talents.


    The graduation ceremony soon came to an end. Ryan and Nicole were planning to leave early. Many parents were fans of Nicole. When she appeared in the auditorium, her eyes were not much less than the sunlight on the window.


    "Ryan."


    A middle-aged man with a beard came over at this moment, it was the principal.


    "Hello, Principal Simon."


    Nicole was standing by her side, and Ryan could only greet him obediently.


    "The star student of St. John''s Elementary School is about to graduate. It''s a bit reluctant." The always serious principal joked.


    "It should be said that the troublemaker and the troublemaker are leaving."


    Ryan only murmured, and saw Nicole''s pale blue eyes, and quickly closed his mouth.


    "No, no, Ryan. In fact, we all understand that the school can''t teach you more." Principal Simon waved his hand and looked at Nicole. "Miss Kidman, thank you for the past few years. Donations from the school."


    "You''re welcome." Nicole shook hands with him, and Principal Simon was ready to leave, "Finally, I wish you and Ryan''s career more and more smooth and more brilliant."


    "Let''s go."


    Nicole pulled him down, and the two walked towards the entrance of the auditorium. Two boys who were much shorter than Ryan came over, "Ryan!"


    "Hello, UU reading , Jerry, and Peter."


    Although they have been estranged a lot in the past two years, these two people can be regarded as the only acquaintances of Ryan in school.


    "Ryan...Ryan, we...we..."


    Seemingly suppressed by Nicole¡¯s aura, Peter did not say a complete sentence for a long time. Jerry had to say loudly, "Ryan, although we don¡¯t have much contact, we are all your supporters. We will go. Watching "Jurassic Park", you will be able to beat that...Tom Cruise!"


    "Yes, Ryan, we all support you."


    More classmates came over at this time, probably graduated, knowing that the difference is imminent, they are friendly and close to Ryan a lot, "We will all go to the theater to watch "Jurassic Park"!"


    "Thank you, thank you everyone!"


    Facing this kind of scene, Ryan had no choice but to say thank you, "I promise "Jurassic Park" is definitely more exciting than everyone thought!"

 ~： Wait and see

    The black Bentley car drove out of the school gate without stopping. It drove directly out of the reporter¡¯s circle and galloped towards Beverly Hills, causing many reporters to curse secretly, but they had to get in their own car. He chased up like a whirlwind.


    In any case, the first graduation ceremony in Ryan Jenkins''s life was the big news that made the headlines of entertainment.


    The custom-made all-handmade Bentley is spacious and comfortable. Last year, Jinsli directly placed an order for three handmade editions ¡ª one of which was her own ¡ª until the beginning of this month, even though the three cars were ordered at the same time. But the appearance is not the same, this car belongs to Ryan''s spacious atmosphere.


    The car first went to the city hall and picked up Pai Kingsley, who was dealing with affairs at Lawyer Wilson. Now that "Jurassic Park" is about to be released, she is busier than before and broke up with her boyfriend again.


    When passing by the huge advertising column in front of the city hall, Ryan tilted his head and glanced. The huge posters of "Jurassic Park" and "Raging Flames" were firmly attached to them. Tom Cruise''s cream face and the first The heads of the Tyrannosaurus Rex that appeared magnificent once stood opposite each other, like a pair of opponents about to fight!


    Prehistoric monsters are very interesting to butter niches, isn¡¯t it?


    "Ryan, the promotion of "Jurassic Park" in North America is at a disadvantage." Pai Jinsli said.


    "Pat, what do you think the Tyrannosaurus rex meets Tom? Cruise?" What Ryan said seemed irrelevant.


    "Eat it in one bite." It was Nicole Kidman who spoke.


    "Yes! Not only eat it in one bite, but even the scum will not be left!" Ryan said confidently, "wait and see."


    "Okay." Jinsli and Nicole smiled at each other, and then said, "We are not without advantages. We are far ahead of Sony in the promotion of overseas markets. Even in the Far East where they have an advantage, Universal Pictures is in South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, and Southeast Asia have invested a lot of advertising."


    "The advertising and marketing expenditure for this movie has exceeded 30 million U.S. dollars!" She added.


    "Don''t worry, we will make it back." Ryan remembered another thing, "How''s Paramount talking to over there?"


    "Progress is not very smooth. There is no result yet." Jinsli sighed. The vast market is really eye-catching. "Even if they introduce this movie, they may also take the way of buying out the screening rights. Paramount¡¯s rake, the profit we get is almost negligible."


    "Don''t worry, Pat." Ryan tilted and leaned on Nicole again. "This is just a stepping stone. The potential of that market is huge. It''s far beyond our imagination."


    then. He changed the subject. "Nicole, shall we go to Mr. Zhou''s restaurant for dinner? I haven''t eaten Chinese food for a long time."


    "Okay." Nicole changed a position to make this guy more comfortable, "George. Go to Mr. Zhou''s restaurant."


    As for "Raging Flames", Ryan is not very concerned. It will face more than "Jurassic Park". Just before the Oscars, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox jointly announced that "True "The Lie" will land in North America on July 3.


    It must be uncomfortable to hit back and forth!


    After entering June, with the successive holidays of North American schools, the hot summer vacation is coming soon, and the box office battle is about to start. At the same time, many businesses are gearing up to meet a marketing battle.


    David Greene is the owner of a boutique sales store, his store is located next to a famous movie chain store on Hollywood Boulevard, so. In addition to operating some special accessories and gifts, half of the storefront is reserved for movie-related products.


    In the recent period, the most popular publicity is "Raging Flames" and "Jurassic Park". The former has a certain reputation. He believes that it is the result of huge investment in publicity funds, and the latter¡¯s huge reputation, except for proper publicity. Besides, it mainly comes from its author.


    The name Ryan Jenkins is already very familiar to Americans, and his works are synonymous with success.


    Now, David Greene is directing the staff to clean up the storefront and emptied a lot of goods from the shelves. Just a few days ago, he had gone to see the samples, signed a contract with the subordinate department of Universal Pictures, and got the " Qualification for sales of "Jurassic Park" peripheral products.


    "Hurry up, throw those comics that can''t be sold into the warehouse." David Greene kept yelling loudly.


    According to the agreement, those peripheral products can only be sold on June 4th from the day after tomorrow, but David Greene doesn''t want to catch the blind temporarily. It doesn''t hurt to prepare early.


    "Boss." His assistant came over at this moment. "Are we buying too much, in case the sales are slow... Or, we reduce the order quantity of "Jurassic Park" peripheral products, and enter a batch of "Anger". The peripheral products of "Flaming Sky"?"


    "It''s too late." David Greene said casually.


    "It''s easy to get an agency contract based on your relationship with the boss..." The assistant was still talking, David Greene interrupted directly, "Are you the owner of this store or I am the owner of this store? Master?"


    The assistant closed his mouth. David Greene might feel that his words were a little overdone, and then said, "Ryan Jenkins and "Jurassic Park" can¡¯t be matched by Tom Cruise¡¯s appeal. ?"


    "but¡­¡­"


    "It''s not that much, but after the goods are delivered in the afternoon, they must be placed in the warehouse for strict supervision. I don''t want to be prosecuted for breach of contract."


    David Greene is convinced that those lifelike dinosaur models and various products with the Jurassic Park logo will bring him a fortune this summer.


    Just at the gate of the chain theater next to this boutique, seven or eight college students who had just been on vacation were gathering together to discuss something.


    "Why are you buying tickets now? The film premieres on June 3rd, and it will not be officially released until June 4th!" One of them seemed a little dissatisfied.


    "Jean, believe me, if you come to buy tickets on June 4th, you can only buy tickets two or even three days later." One of his companions reminded, "Don''t forget the situation in "Terminator 2" ."


    "Chris, that''s "Terminator 2," this is "Jurassic Park"!"


    They were in the rebellious period at this age, and would naturally oppose the opinions of others. Gene waved his hand, seemingly dissatisfied.


    "Really?" the other person said, "Why did we buy tickets in advance? Just because this is "Jurassic Park"! This is Ryan''s own adaptation of his own work! He said that movies are definitely better than novels. It''s wonderful. Let us see the real dinosaur, I believe him!"


    "I believe him too!"


    "me too!"


    "me too!"


    Except for Gene, the others scrambled to speak.


    "Cut, it''s just a kid with no hair!"


    Gene snorted disdainfully. Originally, he was still interested in "Jurassic Park", but his companion yelled, subconsciously a little disgusted.


    A group of people walked into the theater in noisy noise. Unexpectedly, there was a long line at the ticket office because of the upcoming release of "Jurassic Park". There are no popular movies released now. Why are there so many people?


    Seven or eight people were scattered into the line. Although the hall was a little noisy, some words still ran into their ears.


    "I asked, the people in front are all here to book tickets for Jurassic Park."


    "Fortunately, I came here today. If I can''t see this movie for the first time. That would be a shame."


    "Ryan said that the dinosaurs in the movie will surprise us, isn''t it true?"


    "You dare to doubt Ryan, when has he not fulfilled what he said?" That man''s words attracted more than a dozen pairs of angry eyes.


    After nearly ten minutes of waiting, Chris finally came to the counter.


    "Jurassic Park, the earliest show on June 4, two!" he said anxiously.


    "Sorry, there are no tickets for the morning show." The conductor said regretfully.


    "What?" Chris'' eyes widened, and he had to say, "It''s okay for the afternoon session."


    "Ok."


    "This?" Chris looked at the voting machine. This is already the earliest time with a ticket, but unfortunately there are only a few deflection positions left, "Is there no better seat?"


    "No, there will be more for the night show."


    "That''s it, two!" Chris suddenly noticed. Except for Jean, no one of his own companions was in the front of the line, and hurriedly shouted, "All the tickets for this show will be given to me!"


    "Excuse me, are you also pre-purchasing tickets for "Jurassic Park"?" When Gene was at the top of another queue, the conductor asked naturally.


    "Ah...Yes~" Gene nodded subconsciously, and suddenly thought of his companion''s compliments to the kid, and quickly changed his words, "Is there the earliest ticket for "Raging Flames"?"


    ""Raging Flames"?" The conductor looked surprised.


    "Is there?" Gene asked impatiently.


    "Have."


    The conductor pressed a few times, and the ticket vending machine showed the seat of "Raging Flames". Gene glanced at it. This should be the earliest show. There are many good positions...


    Washington, DC, the administrative center of the United States, whenever people think of this city, the first thing people think of is the White House, Congress Hall, Lincoln Memorial and other political buildingsExcept for the annual dinner for Hollywood celebrities. Apart from being destroyed in turn in the blockbuster, few people will closely associate this place with the entertainment industry.


    On the evening of June 3, local time, the nation¡¯s entertainment media gathered in Washington, and the TV station specifically applied to the authorities for live aerial photography. Hundreds of reporters and dozens of broadcast vehicles were enclosed in the National Museum of Natural History In front of the door, waiting for the show to come on stage.


    Everyone knows that one of Ryan Jenkins¡¯ masterpieces, "Jurassic Park", which once swept across the nation¡¯s bestseller list, will soon premiere here.


    Is Universal Pictures¡¯ propaganda true? Steven Spielberg can really reproduce those prehistoric behemoths? Will the fantasy world of Ryan Jenkins truly reproduce?


    They will wait and see!

 Chapter 165： why did he come here

    One after another RV parked at the end of the red carpet. Among them were all distinguished people. Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife came together. James Cameron and Linda Hamilton went hand in hand. Gwyneth Paltrow and Drew Barrymore came in the same car, Brad Pitt waved past with a charming smile, David Finch and Chris Columbus appeared one after another, Judy Ford Sturt walked alone.


    There are too many celebrities here. There are people who have made friends with Ryan or have cooperated with them, guests invited by Universal Pictures, and the contacts formed by Steven Spielberg and George Lukes for many years. Fame may not be as good as the Oscar red carpet, but the number is not inferior.


    This is just a star, like Stan Winston, Ron Meyer, Shirley Lansing, Michael Eisner, Katherine Kennedy and other people who only work behind the scenes, they just walked into the Nature Museum in a hurry. .


    In addition, the presence of more than a dozen naturalists and paleontologists was extremely eye-catching.


    The crew members also arrived. Sam Neal and Jeff Golumb caused screams. When the friends of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas walked on the red carpet, they attracted The screams can even reach the Lincoln Memorial.


    A custom-made black Bentley was pulled by the waiter at this time. All reporters realized that the glamorous Australian girl and the super genius who created "Jurassic Park" should appear next.


    "Attention, capture every shot of Nicole Kidman, her clothes, her hairstyle, her accessories, these are all fashion vanes!"


    It is not only the entertainment media, but also many fashion magazine reporters who have come here to remind the photography assistants.


    However, something unexpected happened. The first thing that was boasted from the car door was not the slender and charming slender legs, but the black lace-up leather shoes. A leg in shaping trousers, a man''s leg!


    Ryan Jenkins'' legs!


    What''s going on here? Many reporters have questions in their hearts. In the past, when Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman attended together, it was Nicole Kidman who got off the car first. She is the leader of the two. Changed over?


    The camera''s shutter sound stopped for a while, and then it rang more crazily. At the center of all the lights, the thirteen-year-old boy bent down and walked out of the car.


    Light brown hair of moderate length is silky smooth, and dark suits are dull and dull. Wearing it on his body that is approaching an adult. It looks different. With precocious and tender cheeks, the sly brilliance gleamed from time to time, which always reminds people of his trickiness and wisdom.


    He is Ryan Jenkins! He is the darling of God bestowed on Hollywood!


    "Nicole~"


    Ryan stretched out his hand into the car elegantly, and then a few slender fingers carved like white jade came over. However, he pinched on the back of his hand extremely concealedly.


    Please! If it weren''t for this kind of occasion, Ryan would definitely reward Nicole with a pair of eyeballs, but he just grabbed the initiative between the two of them. Is it necessary?


    Could it be that I am constantly becoming mature, but you are constantly becoming naive?


    Under Ryan''s guidance, Nicole got out of the Bentley. The moment she stood beside Ryan, the two murdered Ferryn together, maybe he could be pulled from Washington, DC to Massachusetts.


    "Hurry up. Pay attention to change the angle!"


    Many people are urging their assistants of photography, and many well-known reporters and photographers simply go into battle by themselves.


    "My dear, you are different tonight!"


    Ryan''s words made Nicole slightly startled. Is this clearly her own line? What is this kid thinking?


    Nicole''s talent and capital are good, but she is very suitable for makeup. After meticulously dressing up, it is natural and beautiful.


    Her long golden red hair is pulled straight behind her head, and the delicate facial lines are fully visible. The snow-white tight-fitting shoulderless evening dress sets off the tall and slender person, and the back hollow design is more than half smooth. The back appeared. On the slender gooseneck, there was a string of platinum necklaces, and the pendant with broken diamonds underneath seemed a bit ordinary, but under the cover of her beauty, it looked very different.


    Ryan bent his arm, and Nicole slowly pulled it on, and the two strode forward in the flash, never looking at the reporters again.


    Unlike Nicole¡¯s flamboyant looks, Ryan always squinted his eyes upwards unconsciously. Even if he chose a pair of flat shoes for Nicole, they were still a bit shorter than her, which was really frustrating.


    "Ryan! Ryan~Nicole~Nicole!"


    Almost all of Ryan¡¯s fans can be regarded as Nicole¡¯s fans, and almost all of Nicole¡¯s fans like Ryan very much. At this time, they mingled together and shouted the names of two people. They were extremely enthusiastic, and the high-frequency shouts even made the White House far away. The agents subconsciously touched their waists.


    On this occasion, it is natural to sign for their respective supporters. As Ryan grows older and matures, the girls fans have a tendency to turn into nymphomaniacs. Fortunately, George and Nicole¡¯s female bodyguards have been following the two of them. By your side, you can resist all kinds of accidents.


    The fountain pen was quickly swiped on the books or posters handed by the fans. After signing several consecutive names, Ryan handed the fountain pen to a fan, picked up Nicole and walked forward. The one he used The fountain pen caused a commotion in the rear.


    "Ryan, why do I feel that you are different tonight?" Nicole lowered her voice and asked her doubts in her heart, tightening her arms.


    "Where is it different?"


    Ryan pretended not to understand, should he tell her that he was determined to regain the dominance between the two so that when he grows up...


    "Are you planning something again?" Nicole increased his vigilance, with warnings clearly written in his light blue eyes.


    "You think too much, Nicole." Ryan hurried a few steps into the interview area. God couldn''t guess what a woman driven by curiosity would do.


    As soon as the two entered the interview area, a reporter with a handheld microphone responded. In order to recover the cost as soon as possible, Universal Pictures sold the live broadcast rights outside the complex to the TV station.


    "Your relationship is so good, it''s really enviable."


    The reporter is not stupid, a small compliment can bring the relationship between the two parties closer, so as to set up exclusive news.


    "Thank you!"


    Nicole was silent, completely predominantly with Ryan, and Ryan remained silent, and took the sugar coat first, and the cannonballs behind depended on his mood.


    "It is said that "Jurassic Park" has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. Is it true?"


    "That''s right." Since the film began large-scale and high-density publicity, the sales of novels have skyrocketed. "In fact, the survey figures given by relevant agencies are infinitely close to 60 million copies."


    Ryan likes to do this kind of halo for himself.


    "It''s a terrible number, congratulations, Ryan."


    "Thank you."


    "Can you predict the first week of the movie''s box office?" The reporter threw a sharp question. "According to reliable sources, Sony Columbia Pictures, the producer of "Raging Flames", believes that "Jurassic Park" is the first The weekly box office will not exceed 50 million US dollars. "Raging Flames" is a strong contender for the weekly box office ranking."


    "Hehe..." Ryan just smiled.


    "this is¡­¡­"


    "Let''s go in. Nicole." Ryan said nothing more. Pulling up Nicole and walking forward, the reporter asked the last sentence unwillingly, "Miss Kidman, what do you think will be the first week of Jurassic Park?"


    Nicole turned her head. In the bright smile, he threw a sentence, "More than 70 million US dollars."


    The first week''s box office of $70 million? Dreaming? This is an unprecedented number!


    It is not just ordinary movie fans who care about the premiere of "Jurassic Park", but also the senior executives of Sony Columbia. Shimouchi Shigai heard Nicole Kidman''s words from the live broadcast and not only sneered.


    Walking into the Nature Museum, under the guidance of the staff, Ryan took Nicole to the scheduled venue and just entered the crowded hall. Many people stepped forward to say hello.


    There is no way. If you want to build a network, you must socialize and socialize. Ryan let go of Nicole''s hand and the two dealt with the people who came over.


    "Hey. Arnold, are you interested in traveling to the Far East together next month? What? This is really sad, well, I wish you success."


    "Linda, you are more beautiful than when you met last time. Is it Jim''s credit? Jim, stop, I won''t go crazy with you and go diving under the Atlantic Ocean!"


    A small circle quickly gathered around Ryan and Nicole. Nicole heard him and stared at Cameron, "Jim, don¡¯t take Ryan to dangerous activities, otherwise I will let Linda show you a good look. !"


    "Oh, God, have I become a public enemy?" James Cameron murmured dissatisfiedly, "Well, Nicole. Is this good, how about I introduce a girlfriend to Ryan?"


    After speaking, he blinked his eyes playfully.


    Nicole Kidman was speechless, her expression still calm, but she didn''t know what to say.


    "Come on, Jim, your aesthetics..."


    "Ryan, are you saying I''m not pretty?" Linda Hamilton sneered.


    "Forget it, Jim, let''s go to the other side."


    After speaking, Ryan and the people around him gestured, pulled James Cameron and left, causing everyone to laugh heartily.


    Ryan soon separated from Cameron There were too many guests tonight, and he was a small host. Whether he knew him or not, he always had to talk to someone.


    After turning for most of the circle, Ryan simply hid beside Spielberg, and finally had some time to rest with him as a shield.


    "Ryan, you are too cunning."


    "Come on, Stephen, continue, I will be tired, don''t forget that I am a minor, I have privileges." Ryan opened his hands and distinguished himself.


    "I heard that "Schindler''s List" is about to be completed?" He asked again.


    "Yes, I''m waiting for John''s soundtrack and the actors'' dubbing. I have to consider editing in some places."


    "Hi, Ryan." Shirley Lansing walked over with an expressionless old Jewish man, "So you are hiding here."


    why did he come here? Ryan asked in his heart.


    The domain name of this book: Please tell each other to promote it! Thank you! Use the Ctrl+D shortcut to collect

 Chapter 166： Welcome to Jurassic

    "Hello, Mr. Lei Shidong!"


    After Shirley Lansing''s introduction, Ryan solemnly shook hands with the other party, doing impeccable etiquette.


    "Hello, Ryan, is this the first time we met? Sure enough, Katie was right. You are more mature than I thought."


    Although the other party''s words were a bit old-fashioned, Ryan knew that he had such qualifications. This was a media colossus comparable to Rupert Murdoch.


    It''s just... Katie in his mouth? Is it Dean Katie?


    Ryan can only think of this possibility. Although he has been talking on the phone every month in the past few years, Dean Katie has only seen him a few times, and even stated that she would not visit him if she does not invite.


    He knew that Dean Katie, relying on his Jewish identity, had woven a wide network of relationships, but he didn''t expect to have a conversation with giants like Summer Redstone.


    "Aunt Katie?" Ryan asked tentatively.


    "Yes." Lei Shidong nodded slowly, "I have known her for a long time."


    The people around probably saw that Redstone and Ryan had something to discuss, and they dispersed. When only the two of them were left, Redstone suddenly asked, "Ryan, do you expect "Jurassic Park" "How many box offices can I get, North America and overseas, and peripheral products."


    "North America should be able to exceed 300 million U.S. dollars, and overseas is likely to be close to 600 million U.S. dollars." Ryan did not understand why he asked, so he had to adopt a conservative statement, "Sales of peripheral products will not be lower than North American box office in the short term. As for the long-term, it is not something I can estimate."


    "You are so confident."


    Summer Lei Shidong had no expression on his skinned face.


    "I said the number is only the smallest, and the result will be known in a few months, isn''t it?" Ryan smiled confidently.


    "You should have heard that Viacom is asking for Paramount."


    Lei Shidong''s question seemed to have another purpose, Ryan just nodded slightly.


    "I''m waiting to see the result of your prediction, Ryan." Redstone patted his arm. Turned around and left, and finally dropped an inexplicable sentence, "I hope we have a chance to cooperate."


    What does he mean? Ryan knew about the dilemma encountered by Viacom. Redstone was restricted by his wife¡¯s divorce application and was unable to proceed. The bid for the acquisition was rejected by Paramount. It is said that he is seeking financing from Wall Street, also because of the divorce case and the alliance. The split relationship, Wall Street is not optimistic about this acquisition, causing the current predicament.


    It is said that he mortgaged many of Viacom''s subsidiaries. In exchange for a large sum of money, if the next financing fails, a lot of price will be paid.


    It seems that because of the bidding of competitors, the two sides went to court, and Viacom was the one who lost the lawsuit.


    Does Ryan wonder whether this kind of acquisition involving billions of dollars can be mixed in with his own net worth?


    "What happened, Ryan." Nicole walked over at this moment.


    "Nothing." Ryan shook his head, and Nicole gently pinched his ear. "Summer? What did Lei Shidong want to do with you?"


    Obviously, Nicole saw the scene just now, completely trusted her Ryan, and told the story again. Nicole is a lot better than Ryan in business.


    "You have to be careful, there are some things that we should not interfere." She had no choice but to say so.


    "I understand." Ryan nodded.


    "It''s almost time, let''s go to the theater."


    Nicole stretched out her hand to come over to pull him, only to find that Ryan had bent her arm. Obviously she wants her to continue following him.


    Cranky kid! Nicole shook her head slightly, put her arm into Ryan''s arm, and followed him to the large theater of the Natural History Museum.


    The seats of the two of them are connected. After sitting down and greeted the people around him, Ryan leaned back in his chair and waited quietly for the launch of his own "Jurassic Park" in this life.


    This is a huge theater that can accommodate nearly a thousand people. It is usually the place where the Museum of Nature plays popular science educational films. In addition to guests and film critics, there are hundreds of lucky audiences who can witness the film in advance.


    After the openings of Universal Pictures and Jenkins Pictures, there are tense soundtracks and short letters. Under the silent night sky, dozens of people with live ammunition stand by the high wall. They look serious, highly nervous, with their heads above their heads. The orange helmet with Jurassic Park is very eye-catching.


    The lights flickered and the branches shook. It seemed that something extraordinary was about to happen. Many viewers thought that some kind of carnivorous dinosaur would appear. They couldn''t help but opened their eyes and held their breath, but behind the branches appeared a huge container fork. Forklift.


    The huge container was placed next to the gate closed by the wall, and the roaring noise, huge eyes, and swaying figure from it all indicated that there was a terrifying creature inside.


    The person in charge of opening the door opened the door of the container, and the swaying figure rushed towards the wall. They drove the container to sway. The door opener standing on it accidentally fell down, struggling to crawl out, but it was too long. late.


    Even if many companions stepped forward to help, he still became a delicious meal for inexplicable creatures.


    Except for one eye, the beginning of this paragraph showed no signs of dinosaurs. Even the most picky people could not find the shadows of killing and blood, but it made people shudder and felt the power of carnivorous dinosaurs, and they were immediately attracted. Caught the eye.


    The screen changes, the funny tragedy lawyer in the movie appears. He comes to an ancient excavation site. One of the most important props in the movie-an amber wrapped in mosquitoes-is revealed.


    Then, the film switched to an excavation site in Montana, where the male and female protagonists officially appeared. Dr. Alan Grant played by Sam Neal and Dr. Ali Settler played by Nicole Kidman were studying ancient animals and plants. Until one day, billionaire Dr. Hammond came to ask them to come out of the mountain to sponsor their research expenses, which led them on a crazy journey.


    "Nicole, you are equally beautiful like this." Ryan whispered in Nicole''s ear.


    In the picture, Nicole is wearing a shabby blue work outfit, with her long hair dyed in honey gold, and a cowboy hat, which has a unique charm.


    "Watching a movie!" Nicole whispered.


    A buyer found the big fat man in charge of the intelligent control system on Nubra Island, and he was also greedy by the temptation of money and agreed to steal dinosaur embryos. Pave the way for the loss of control of the dinosaurs behind.


    Dr. Grant, Dr. Setler, Dr. Malcolm and Mr. Lawyer arrived at Nubra Island by helicopter with Hammond, and Jurassic Park is about to unveil its mystery.


    Two red Ford cross-country vehicles, carrying a group of people around, through the 10,000-volt electric protective net, climbed up a grassy hillside, Hammond stood up from the car, Stopped the two cars.


    While Dr. Setler was still mumbling to study plants that shouldn''t belong to this era, Dr. Grant turned his head keenly and looked out of the car, his mouth gradually opened. Even the sunglasses on his face couldn''t hide the shock.


    He threw away his hat, then took off his sunglasses, and then reached out and turned Setler''s head, she stood up in shock as well.


    What did they see? In fact, the audience understands that the shocked protagonists in the movie must have seen the dinosaurs, and their superb acting skills have lifted the appetite of people outside the big screen.


    What dinosaur is on the scene below? Will it be as real as Ryan said, as shocking as the characters in the movie?


    The camera finally turned, and what appeared on the screen was a huge body like a hill. It was striding forward, the camera moved up, the dinosaur''s head appeared, and it was eating!


    When Grant and Setler were standing under the dinosaur. When looking at this herbivorous dinosaur with its half-leg height, there was no sound in the theater with thousands of people, and all the audience was shocked by such a real dinosaur.


    If it''s just that. How can you be worthy of all the foreshadowing that you have done before.


    The audience was still stunned, the huge dinosaur suddenly jumped up and raised its forelimbs. He bit the tender leaves at the top of the tree very flexibly, swallowing and chewing, and every action seemed impeccable.


    This is clearly a real dinosaur! Except for the experts, it is impossible to tell whether it is real or a model?


    As the camera switched back to the three protagonists, the audience gradually came back to their senses. They still had no words, because the dialogue on the screen attracted all their attention!


    Grant and Setler are discussing Tyrannosaurus with Hammond!


    Correct! It is the Tyrannosaurus Rex, one of Ryan''s most brilliant characters, the real protagonist in "Jurassic Park"!


    In a short dialogue, the audience''s appetite and expectations were raised to the highest value, making them infinitely eager for that Tyrannosaurus rex.


    After Grant and Setler heard the news of Tyrannosaurus, they were excited or shocked and couldn''t help themselves, sitting on the grass and finding it hard to calm down is undoubtedly the best portrayal of the audience.


    The loud howl of dinosaurs sounded, and it was another long-term view of the display. A large group of dinosaurs gathered around the pond to drink water. Among them, the tall brachiosaurus was striding forward with its heads high, and the mouths of the audience opened wider and wider.


    By this time everyone understands, Ryan Jenkins said, to show them the most real dinosaurs, now they have seen real dinosaurs, more than all previous movies and science and education films It must be a hundred times more real.


    Many people have this idea in their hearts at this moment. Even if the plot behind it is messed up, as long as there are such dinosaurs to watch, it is definitely worth the fare!


    Of course, it is absolutely impossible. If it''s just a dinosaur exhibition, wouldn''t all the foreshadowing made in the front be wasted?


    "It''s really a dinosaur!"


    Many audience members learned the lines of Dr. Grant and uttered excitement in unison.


    "Dr. Grant, and dear Dr. Setler!"


    Dr. Hammond stayed on his cane, strode forward, and said with infinite confidence in his words, "Welcome to Jurassic Park!" (to be continued...)


    ps: The next chapter is more watery, about the plot of the movie, it was written for too long, and I forgot to compress and modify it. I will post the book review area to the top. If you like it, come and see it. There is a monthly ticket to add more in the evening! ()

 Chapter 167： Excitement

    Hundreds of reporters crowded in the lobby of the press conference. The TV station had already set up four large cameras and was broadcasting live footage, just like the red carpet before the movie, and the news conference after the screening. Quan was also sold to them by Universal Pictures.


    A thrilling journey has just ended, and many people have not yet come to their senses. The real prehistoric behemoth, like a pet around it, is shocking far beyond imagination.


    The hall looked extremely quiet. Many reporters were thinking about what to ask next. They focused on three people, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and... Ryan Jenkins. !


    George Lucas¡¯ Industrial Light and Magic created these prehistoric behemoths, Steven Spielberg turned the words on paper into amazing pictures, and Ryan Jenkins created this peculiar world!


    As for the actors...well, the performance is quite wonderful. Although Nicole Kidman''s dress is a bit old-fashioned, it is still amazing. They have completed their tasks very well and set off the real stars. Brilliant!


    Yes, even if they are just entertainment reporters, not professional film critics, they know exactly who the protagonist of this movie is.


    The press conference soon began. Catherine Kennedy, who was the production manager, first introduced the situation of the film, and then it was time for the most important question.


    Many reporters threw the question to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. They are all about pre-post production and director issues. Ryan is not proficient in these. Waiting quietly will definitely throw it at himself. Cannonballs.


    "Excuse me, Mr. Jenkins, does this movie fit the world you originally conceived?" A reporter finally asked.


    "I think everyone should have seen it. The movie is more exciting than the text, isn''t it?" Ryan replied playfully, "Steven and I promised to show you the dinosaurs, what do you think?"


    There was a burst of kind laughter from below. Since humans discovered the fossils of dinosaurs, are there any more real images of dinosaurs than in this movie?


    "Ryan, we can see that the movie only intercepted a small part of the content. I would like to ask, will the remaining part of the content be shot for a sequel?"


    "You have to ask the heads of Universal Pictures and Jenkins Pictures about this." Ryan shied away directly.


    "Do you think the actors in the movie are more exciting, or the dinosaurs are more exciting." A reporter asked a tricky question.


    "There is a hundred Hamlet in a hundred people."


    Ryan pretended to be half-believing in terms of dealing with this kind of problem.


    "Miss Kidman, what do you think?" The reporter went to Nicole next to Ryan again.


    ""Jurassic Park" is an excellent movie, both the actors and the staff behind the scenes. Or the dinosaurs. They all played an important role in it..."


    Nicole talked freely. She said it for a few minutes, but her words were all clich¨¦s, without any nutritional value.


    "Ryan, then do you think "Jurassic Park" will overtake the subsequent "Raging Flames" at the box office in the first week?"


    "You will know next week."


    "Ryan..."


    Later. The scene of the press conference became more chaotic, and the more tricky questions the reporters threw. After ten minutes, the host simply announced the end. Many reporters thought they had not received enough news and rushed forward unrelentingly.


    Ryan was naturally the focus of their containment. When he pulled Nicole out of the news room, not only his hairstyle was messed up, he even squeezed out two of his suit buttons. Fortunately, he and several staff members desperately protected Nicole, and the Australian girl''s dress was safe and sound.


    "They are crazy!"


    Nicole complained, first tidyed Ryan''s hair, and flattened the wrinkled suit, "Would you like to say hello to other people?"


    "No need. Please contact Stephen when they go back. Let''s go back to the hotel as soon as possible."


    Many reporters were still besieging other crew members at this time, especially George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, who were still not in the news hall. In the spirit of dead fellows, not dead and poor, don¡¯t slip away at this time. When to wait more.


    "George, go and drive the car to the back door."


    Seeing the bodyguard and assistant walking away, Ryan said to Nicole''s two female bodyguards, "If there is someone at the back door, protect Nicole first."


    "Okay, let''s go."


    Ryan pulled her up and left without waiting for Nicole''s words.


    Ryan has grown up! Nicole looked at the teenager who was half a step ahead of her. His shoulders were widening, his back was thickening, and his figure became more and more upright, and it would take a few years to grow into a towering tree.


    He has been protecting you all the time! If Nicole was still a little confused in the first few years, how could she not understand that Ryan has been trying to shelter herself from the wind and rain for more than a year.


    At first, she was a little ashamed, she was his guardian! Later, as he grew older and matured, she found that she liked this feeling.


    Even if he took away the dominance tonight, even if he was not very happy on the surface, he never cared about it.


    Unsurprisingly, there were really paparazzi guarding the back door. There were not many people. When they found Ryan and Nicole, the two had opened the door and got into the car quickly. The Bentley car disappeared. A trace.


    Looking back, Ryan found that Nicole''s two female bodyguards drove up to chase him, there should be no paparazzi, and he was relieved.


    Since entering this year, he can clearly feel that the paparazzi in North America are infinitely approaching their counterparts in the UK.


    The Bentley drove directly into the parking lot of the Hilton Hotel...Well, it was the one where Ronald Reagan was assassinated. Since the assassination that year, the hotel has extremely strict management of the parking lot.


    Several female paparazzi guarded the entrance of the parking lot, but could not enter. After seeing the car Ryan was in, she pressed the shutter against the bottom of the car for a while.


    "Oh, God, it turned out to be a female paparazzi."


    After entering the two presidential suites, Ryan was still sighing, but Nicole''s eyes were so big, "Why, you look down on women?"


    "of course not."


    This is not a good topic, Ryan shook his head quickly.


    "The dinosaurs ate the men, and the women took the world!" Nicole said her line in the movie.


    "Well, you are the queen of America."


    Ryan took off his jacket, untied his bow tie, and leaned on the sofa, "I want to take a break."


    "My dear, I am going back to my room."


    Nicole walked into her bedroom, and Ryan went back to her room altogether.


    It was a very ordinary night, and some people were destined to be unable to sleep. Although it was a commercial film for all ages, many film critics and reporters who participated in the premiere took their seats as soon as they returned. At the desk, type an article with a pen or a typewriter.


    After watching the jumbled news conference, Xiongjian Island was waiting. After receiving a call, he was silent a lot. It was a call from a film critic who participated in the premiere.


    Although there is a hint of worry in his heart, he is still full of confidence in the movie project he is leading. The handsome guys, the beautiful women and the popular action scenes can''t fight a few dinosaurs?


    Since it is a commercial movie, only the box office and the profit gained are the top priority.


    Back in the bedroom, Mingjian Shimauchi didn''t sleep well this night. He woke up several times in the middle. Just after dawn, he got up and sent his servant to buy back all the newspapers available on the market.


    After receiving the newspaper, he first opened the "Chicago Tribune" and found Roger Albert''s column. The name of the other party was getting bigger and bigger, and the influence on the movie became more and more obvious.


    However, Shimauchi¡¯s perception of film critics is not very good. They are some guys who like to stab, especially this Roger Albert, who has never liked purely commercial movies, but has a lot of interest in Ryan Jenkins. The praise is added.


    However, Hollywood has its own Hollywood rules, and even if he is one of Sony¡¯s shareholders, the executive director of Sony Columbia Pictures, he is unable to change all of this.


    "Very good, "Jurassic Park" finally released its movie version. Ryan Jenkins and Steven Spielberg promised to show us dinosaurs. They didn''t break their promise. I saw the vivid prehistoric giants from the movie. beast."


    "We have seen dinosaurs before, and we often see them in other images. Although they are also made with special effects, the dinosaurs in this movie are really like pets around you. Other elements that people think deeply, such as how to embody the strength of human beings, are thrilling and exciting enough."


    "The passage written by Ryan Jenkins is still not out of Hollywood''s idiomatic mode, but it can catch people''s heartstrings. After you sit down, you can''t break away from the attraction of the plot until the end captions appear."


    "Although the performance of several actors is wonderful, the dinosaurs created by Industrial Light and Magic are the real stars in the movie. This is a very good science fiction adventure movie!"


    The majestic horoscope on the island frowned and opened a newspaper.


    "It took 7 years from the birth of "Jurassic Park" to the release of the movie. Ryan Jenkins''s fantasy work that year has shocked countless people. Now he is collaborating with Steven Spielberg. Let us enter the most exciting dinosaur park and experience the charm of prehistoric behemoths with the protagonists in the movie. They are so charming, even if you leave the big screen, you will continue to imagine their appearance in your mind. "


    Then he saw the comment of Mike Lasseler, a well-known film critic of the San Francisco Chronicle, with only one sentence.


    "A huge monster movie full of imagination!"


    Looking through the newspapers he was working on one by one, Shigauchi found that the reviews were almost overwhelming. Except for a few film critics who thought they were full of literary and artistic styles, more than 90% of the media thought it was an entertainment feast. An unbelievable and exciting journey.

 Chapter 168： 1 day after

    This morning, David Greene took a rare presence in the store. The peripheral products of "Jurassic Park" were already full of shelves. Out of confidence in the name Ryan Jenkins, he took out more than half of the flow. Funds were invested in this batch of products.


    Next to it is the famous cinema chain store, which is getting closer and closer to the cinema''s closing time. Whether the peripheral products of the movie will be welcomed or not, a concept can be drawn from the reaction of the first audience.


    Although peripheral products are also sold in theaters, due to congestion and other factors, many viewers often choose to buy them.


    "Pooh, what time is it." He asked his assistant.


    "There are three minutes left."


    The assistant naturally understood what the boss meant and gave a clear answer.


    Sure enough, without waiting for a few minutes, the noisy noise rang out at the door of the boutique. Perhaps it was the advertising poster of "Jurassic Park" that had been pulled up. More than a dozen young people and several parents led their children away. Come in.


    They don''t even look at those exquisite accessories and handicrafts from all over the world, and go straight to the shelves of movie peripheral products.


    "Mom, I want that Tyrannosaurus, and... and this, this and that..." A child''s voice came over.


    "One t-shirt for each person. If I don¡¯t wear this, how can I say that I have seen "Jurassic Park"." A young man shouted, "All the dolls come in a complete set. Why don''t you have Ryan''s dolls? Dr. Setler played by Nicole is also pretty good."


    "Hurry up, we have to catch the ending movie."


    "Don''t worry, the next "Jurassic Park" will start in fifteen minutes, but by the way, we should be the first to watch it twice? Oh, my God, that Tyrannosaurus is so cool , If you put it in Los Angeles, what will happen to you?"


    "The Jurassic Park in Universal Studios should be open today. After watching the movie, we will go to Universal Studios together."


    The voices of these people were heard by a few children on the other side. "Mom! Mom! We are going to Jurassic Park too."


    Before this group of people finished their purchases, dozens of people came in again, their expressions were filled with unbearable excitement, and the words in their mouths were inseparable from the dinosaurs and Jurassic Park, and many people yelled. Go to watch it a second time or watch it several times in a row.


    "Is the movie good?"


    When a guest paid, David Greene leaned over and couldn''t help asking.


    "It''s great..." Before the man finished speaking, the companion behind him interrupted him, "It''s simply great, it can''t be great, Ryan is right. The movie is as exciting as it is. You don''t want to watch the absolute I will regret it."


    More and more people are entering boutiques. More than 90% of them came for the peripheral products of "Jurassic Park", but in a short period of time, the shelves became empty, and David Greene hurriedly greeted people to deliver the goods. At the same time, he suppressed the urge to enter the theater.


    Over time, David Greene found that the fast shipping speed was a bit unbelievable. Among all the peripheral products he sold, it is undoubtedly the hottest now.


    In the afternoon, David Greene gradually couldn''t hold it back. The voices of so many guests who came and went were constantly talking about "Jurassic Park", almost all of them praised. Few people criticized.


    Although he knows that these people who will enter the theater today are either fans of "Jurassic Park" or fans of Ryan Jenkins and others, the sound of praise is normal. But such unanimous praise is very rare for a commercial film.


    Looking at the movie tickets he bought a few days ago, David Greene murmured a few words to his assistant, went out and turned into the theater, and exactly six or seven young students also walked into the theater at this time.


    "Chris, why didn''t Gene suddenly come?"


    "I don''t know, it seems that he is waiting to watch "Raging Flames". Chris said with a few people as they walked to the ticket gate.


    For more than two hours, whether it was David Greene or Chris and his group, the heart was always in the throat. The real dinosaurs and the thrilling plot made people unable to relax for a moment, and seemed to be accompanied by the few in the movie. The protagonist experiences the same adventure.


    "Oh, God!"


    Such an exclamation has hardly been cut off.


    If there are only dinosaurs, although it will make people feel amazing, watching too much will produce such a feeling, but they have been tense, and there is a feeling that the plot designed by Ryan Jenkins is really wonderful.


    Should I prepare more peripheral products? David Greene is a businessman after all, and the excellent movie reminds him that the goods he reserves may not last a few days.


    As he walked out of the projection hall, he saw several young people and heard their comments.


    "Chris, let''s ask if there are any tickets. I want to see it again."


    "me too."


    "me too."


    Several others are also echoing.


    Seeing them walking towards the ticket office, even though he wanted to watch it again, David Greene returned to his boutique. After all, the movie can be watched again in a few days, but the business opportunity is fleeting.


    Just walked into his boutique, David Greene was shocked, there were too many people, and his shop was large enough, and it still seemed crowded at this time.


    The left half of the shop is overcrowded. It is a shelf selling Jurassic products. The right half is where customers are sparse. It is a place where other products are sold. There is a sharp contrast between the two sides.


    Do you want to remove some of the goods on the right and add more shelves? Just as he was calculating, the assistant frowned and walked over.


    "Boss, according to today''s shipping speed, the stocking in the warehouse can last at most four days."


    "what?"


    David Greene naturally understood what the other party was referring to, his eyes widened, "So fast?"


    "Yes." The assistant nodded and handed over the statistics. He glanced roughly, and his brows were also frowned.


    You must know that in selling these products, although the bulk of the money will be taken away by the property owner, there is still a lot of profit left to him. If you can''t get along with it, you can''t get along with money.


    "I will contact Universal immediately."


    David Greene strode into the office at the back of the store and dialed the number of the relevant personnel of Global.


    "What? You can only send a quarter?" He just said his request there, but was rejected, "Michelle, we are old friends, you have to buy me at least the last time. Quantity? The supply across the board is tight? A lot of people are asking for the goods? That is a matter of Universal Pictures and Jenkins Pictures. I only want the goods, even if the purchase price is increased by ten points!"


    After asking in every possible way, the other party only gave him half of the amount he requested. David Greene could only sigh and realize that "Jurassic Park" would be a big hit, Ryan Jenkins and Steven Spielberg said. It is not allowed to work together to create a miracle.


    I have paid enough attention to the industries and products related to Ryan Jenkins. Why didn''t I invest all the liquidity in it this time?


    David Greene regretted a little at this moment.


    On the night of this day, the Chandler Hall of the Los Angeles Concert Hall was brightly lit and starry, and Cruise Pictures and Sony Columbia were holding the premiere of "Raging Flames" here.


    This premiere also attracted the attention of many people, after all, this is the only major production that dare to compete with "Jurassic Park" at the same time.


    In fact, many people who participated in the premiere have already watched "Jurassic Park" and have a vague answer to the success or failure of the competition between the two films.


    Gene''s luck was very good. Although he pre-purchased tickets for tomorrow''s "Raging Flames", he participated in the registration for the premiere. Unexpectedly, he became one of the lucky ones and could participate in the premiere.


    It¡¯s just that he is alone now. Chris and others, who used to be entertaining together, drove to Orange County because there is a remote theater there. It is said that they can buy the current tickets for "Jurassic Park" tonight. It depends on the second time.


    Is "Jurassic Park" really that good? Is the plot adapted by Ryan Jenkins really that exciting? When he walked into the screening hall, Gene was still thinking about it, and the feeling of being isolated was terrible.


    The movie started soon, and it was a hot car chase scene, and even armed helicopters were used. The explosion scenes were endless. The close-up shots of the movie were frequently given, and a handsome face continued to appear in the close-ups of the big screen. in.


    While driving the speeding car, the actor dashed out a bunch of opponents.


    Not bad~ Gene nodded, the action scene is really exciting.


    Of course, it is impossible for any movie to continue to hit, and the rationality of literary drama is also related to the reputation and box office of the movie.


    The more Gene watched, the more frowning his brows became. Why does it feel that in the movie, except for the protagonist, who is smart, everyone is stupid than a pig? Not to mention relying on strong skill, he feels that with his IQ, he can easily get rid of those villains and the heroine played by Demi Moore, which is obviously a vase plus a nympho, except for selling from time to time. There is no need for meat to exist at all.


    Shaking his head, Gene was a little disappointed. Compared with classic action movies like "Terminator", the literary performance of the movie is more than two grades different.


    Fortunately, the action scenes are still brilliant, and the hot scenes continue to appear under the heavy investment. Tom Cruise''s handsome face can also attract many young girls who are entering puberty to scream.


    After a full two and a half hours, Gene walked out of the theater. The movie was really wonderful. Of course, it was wonderful, and it did not meet his expectations.


    Even, he felt that the reason why the trailer was so brilliant was that the only essence of the movie was edited into it.


    Apart from that handsome face and exploding fireworks, what else is there in this movie? After more than half an hour, Gene returned home, and suddenly found that he could only remember such a small amount of "Raging Flames".


    Maybe it''s time to watch "Jurassic Park" by myself, is it as exciting as they say? ()

 Chapter 169： Sorry box office

    "A well-arranged plot, a fun-filled journey, just the right plot**, ups and downs of character shaping, and a happy ending. This is the typical Ryan Jenkins-style concept and script. He is always clever. The perfect integration of various elements, with a scientific attitude, the implementation of almost rigorous standardized production, he is simply the most precise and perfect instrument on the Hollywood assembly line, and it is always easy to grasp What does the audience want to see! From the point of view of a commercial screenwriter, no one is better than him."


    ¡ª¡ªKenneth Duran, Los Angeles Times


    "When we first saw the behemoth that had disappeared for tens of millions of years on the screen, we were still overwhelmed with excitement. The prehistoric monsters like dinosaurs used to be the overlords of the earth, but in the end it was because of the environment of the earth. Change and extinction in itself is a mystery that fascinates countless people. So the moment that lifelike Tyrannosaurus rex screamed up to the sky on the screen, the hearts of people all over the world trembled. This shock is more than just a movie. What the movie can bring is the throbbing that primitive life brings us, transcending time and space to the bottom of our hearts, and let us truly feel the greatness of life."


    "To some extent, this movie has achieved the current extreme. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have joined forces to truly restore the world of Ryan Jenkins'' whimsical ideas. This movie The movie will definitely make a strong mark in film history!"


    ¡ª¡ª"Entertainment Weekly" Irving Graeberman


    "This is the best era and the worst era. With the rapid development of computer technology, technology has brought endless hope to filmmakers, but on the other hand, as Hollywood gradually becomes more streamlined, movies are the most The core part-creativity-is showing signs of decline. Although Ryan Jenkins is still unable to get rid of the shackles of the Hollywood assembly line, he can always use the latest creativity to incorporate clich¨¦ plots into it, constantly bringing surprises to people ."


    "In "Jurassic Park", you can see Hitchcock-style plots everywhere, but he combines these with his own perfect combination. A thrilling story is dedicated to us! Even if the dinosaurs are removed The surprise of the movie, the plot of the movie is still brilliant, and Ryan should now consider how to get rid of the limitations of the Hollywood model."


    ¡ª¡ª "Time" Richard Chris


    "Please go on, Nat!"


    In the luxurious suite of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Natalie is sitting at the dining table, reading film reviews in the newspaper, and Ryan and Nicole are enjoying breakfast.


    After the crew left Washington, the first stop came to New York, after a crazy weekend of publicity. All a little tired. Whether it''s Ryan or Nicole. Not only does he have a large number of fans, but he is also the focus of the media, and he is exhausted physically and mentally in two days.


    I got up a bit late today, and I didn''t expect Natalie to let George pick her up early. At the same time, he brought a lot of newspapers.


    "I''m thirsty~" Natalie put down the newspaper, and Ryan had to pour a glass of milk and push it over, "Well, dear Nat, is this all right?"


    "Ryan!"


    Nicole glared at him. In her impression, Natalie was a strict vegetarian, and this kind of non-skimmed milk should be a taboo food.


    "It''s okay, Nicole." Natalie took the milk. Take a sip generously, really not caring at all.


    After looking at Natalie, Nicole looked at Ryan again, her beautiful eyebrows were twisted together, these two people kept secrets from her!


    "Nicole. Don''t tell Mrs. Shelly, okay?" Ryan leaned over and whispered in her ear.


    "What are you two doing?"


    Even though this was asked with her eyes, Nicole believed that Ryan could definitely read it.


    "This is a secret!" Ryan also winked his eyes.


    "Do you still want to listen?" Natalie said suddenly, interrupting the two people who were winking.


    "Of course, please go ahead, Nat."


    "When Ryan was creating, he obviously added feminist ideas in the film. Dr. Ali Settler was one of the spokespersons. For the role played by Miss Nicole Kidman, there is a line that appropriately reflects this. "Dinosaurs eat men, women occupy the earth." Strictly speaking, there was also this kind of thinking at the time. In Jurassic Park, humans played the role of God, stifling the possibility of male dinosaurs and letting female dinosaurs dominate. The whole island..."


    "Stop~ What are these..."


    The corners of Ryan''s mouth trembled. If Settler''s lines are a bit of feminist thought, then those behind can be interpreted by people with such a meaning, how wonderful the thinking of the person who wrote this thing should be. ?


    "Nate, do you have a movie review of "Raging Flames"? Nicole asked, drinking all the milk in front of her.


    "Forget it, Nicole, don''t make it difficult for Nat. The film critic is about to describe that movie as Tom Cruise''s face show. What''s so nice about it."


    Ryan is telling the truth. This hot action film that highlights the idol¡¯s personal charm and is cool and handsome has been bombarded by most film critics. Even if Sony Columbia initiated crisis public relations, it still cannot change this. situation.


    Don¡¯t think that those well-known film critics are so high-end and tasteful. Except for a few film critics standing at the top who can be relatively fair, the others will also be affected by various factors. Fair speech is for them. Said, it''s just clouds in the sky.


    The thing is very simple. Sony Columbia is in public relations, and Ryan and Universal Pictures and Spielberg are also in public relations. After all, Sony is a foreigner who has recently entered the North American entertainment market, while Ryan is a group of Jewish people!


    "Where are we going today?"


    After clearing the paper, Natalie asked.


    "Nate, do you think me, you, and Nicole will get together and go around the streets of New York, what will be the consequences?" Ryan shook his head, he didn''t want to go out and be watched.


    Although Natalie has been acting on stage since "Killer Leon", her reputation has long spread. Apart from the uncle fans, she also has a lot of supporters.


    "Well then, I''ll go to read a book."


    There was a knock on the door, and then George walked into the restaurant, "Ms. Kennedy and Mr. Spielberg are here."


    "Are they here? The box office statistics for the first week?"


    Ryan and Nicole glanced at each other, quickly cleaned up, and walked to the reception room with Natalie.


    "Hello. Stephen and Ms. Kennedy."


    Natalie greeted the two very politely, and the two nodded to her, and Spielberg said, "It''s been a long time, Nat."


    "Ryan, there is good news."


    The remaining people are already familiar acquaintances who can no longer be acquainted with, and there are not so many polites. Catherine Kennedy blushed, "Want to know?"


    "Could it be that the box office broke 100 million in the first week?"


    Ryan felt that it could make these two people so excited. It must have been an unprecedented number at the box office in the first week.


    "Almost a little bit."


    Spielberg''s excitement. A trace of regret was revealed.


    "How much is that?" Nicole asked.


    "Nine-thousand-eight million dollars!" Catherine Kennedy seems to be a little unbelievable up to now.


    "Oh. God!"


    Nicole and Natalie, one big and one small, exclaimed. This is indeed an unprecedented number!


    "Damn it!"


    Ryan is completely different. If they had known this before, several of their investors would jointly invest. Pushed the first week''s box office past the $100 million mark.


    This practice is normal in Hollywood. According to the gossip, Tom Cruise bought millions of dollars in the box office on the first day of the release of "Raging Flames".


    "It''s really a shame." Ryan could only sigh with emotion.


    "Sorry?" Natalie first saw him as unpleasant. "Come on, Ryan, you still don''t know how happy you are now."


    "Stephen, Kate, we should increase our publicity. Especially overseas, I think this movie has the potential to hit the global box office of 100 million US dollars!" Ryan ignored Natalie, but looked at the other two.


    "I will communicate with Universal Pictures as soon as possible."


    These things Ryan said involve the benefits of all parties, so they will naturally pay special attention to them.


    "Kate. How about our sales of peripheral products?" Ryan asked about the other big head of revenue.


    "The specific figures have not yet been counted, but there are out-of-stocks in many places, and the suppliers we have contracted are currently a bit tight."


    Although there are no clear figures, this is already the best news.


    "One more good news, Ryan."


    All the people present here are communities of interests, so naturally there is no need to cover up too much. Catherine Kennedy handed over a statistical report.


    Ryan glanced at the North American box office rankings last week, without any suspense, "Jurassic Park" topped the list, and the second place was "Raging Flames".


    Just comparing the first horrible figure of more than 90,000 US dollars, "Raging Flames" is only 660,000 US dollars, including part of Tom Cruise''s own pocket.


    Cruise Pictures and Sony Columbia are destined to lose everything!


    "Raging Flames" is a pure popcorn movie that is cool and handsomeUnlike "Jurassic Park", which has a large number of book fans as a basis, the former tends to appear higher in the second week. The percentage drop, to put it simply, it has no threat.


    I am waiting for the day you go bankrupt! Ryan felt light in her hands, and the report had fallen into Nicole''s hands. She only glanced at her, her cold and pretty face showed a brilliant smile that could not be suppressed.


    "Well, Ryan, that''s it for the time being, Kate will contact you if there is anything."


    Spielberg stood up and said goodbye, "I made a wise decision at the beginning, thank you for choosing me."


    Regardless of the box office of this movie in the future, they have created an achievement that has attracted the attention of filmmakers all over the world, even if it is as hot as Spielberg, they will still be proud.


    "You''re welcome, Stephen, we will have more and more extensive cooperation opportunities in the future." Ryan said with a smile.


    "I believe this!" ()

 Chapter 170： keep going

    "Nine thousand six hundred and eight hundred thousand dollars, the first in history!"


    This is the second day after the new North American box office rankings came out. Many large newspapers made the headlines. The influence of "Jurassic Park" is no longer limited to entertainment. It quickly spreads to all aspects of society. There is a dinosaur fever. Strongly struck.


    "This is an unprecedented feast of joy. In this hot summer, North America has been brought into the paradise of dinosaurs, and the public can fully appreciate the whimsical ideas of Riel Jenkins that day."


    "$9.68 million. This is a record jointly created by Ryan Jenkins and Steven Spielberg. We don¡¯t know how long this record will last. I can guarantee that the next movie script that breaks this record will still come from Ryan. ?Hands of Jenkins, his creative ideas have never been cut off."


    "Whether it is the dinosaurs or the cast and crew of the movie, we have given too much appreciation. Here, I just want to emphasize an old saying, Ryan Jenkins is a gem that God bestows on Hollywood!"


    In front of this frightening box office number, countless media sang hymns, from the special effects staff to the producers, from the actors to the directors, praised by them several times.


    Of course, as one of the original authors, screenwriters and investors of "Jurassic Park", Ryan was mentioned the most times, and he couldn''t help getting goose bumps after watching some compliments.


    The crew, which shoulders the heavy responsibility of propaganda, walks from east to west in an orderly manner. Every time they pass through a city, they will cause a huge sensation. Outside the theater where they appear, tens of thousands of people are often surrounded, and a large number of young people collectively shouted Well, the voice can often be heard thousands of meters away.


    Although the movie entered its second week, the popularity has not diminished. Almost all theater ticket offices where "Jurassic Park" was shown have long lines, and many people even lined up outside the theater.


    Among these people, there are not a few people who watch repeatedly. Many people have watched it twice or three times, and still will not be satisfied.


    Even the places where movie peripheral products are sold have ushered in unprecedented sales peaks. Dinosaur dolls are the most popular, and they will be sold out as soon as they are on the shelves. Other products have also been out of stock. The manufacturers that have signed the agreement are working overtime to produce, even if this is the case, there is still a shortage of supply.


    among them. Just a revised version of "Jurassic Park." More than two million copies were sold in ten days.


    After Ryan learned the news. Although he was calm, he actually blossomed with joy in his heart.


    The publicity of the movie did not stop for a moment, and various news appeared in the media, which made "Jurassic Park" a hot topic.


    And the popularity of movies. There has been an upsurge in studying paleontology in North America. Many students who are about to enter university have applied for related majors. Dinosaurs and Ryan Jenkins have become the topics that the public must talk about.


    Especially the eye-catching piece of amber in the movie has attracted the attention of many people. This peculiar fossil has instantly become the darling of the people. Although you can buy similar peripheral products, it is not real amber after all. Many movie fans chose to buy a piece of real amber as an ornament, which triggered a wave of price increases in North America.


    "Life will always find a way out" is like the phrase "I can see ghosts" said by Ryan in the "Sixth Sense" that year. It has become a classic movie line and has been circulated among countless people.


    Just as Ryan and his party were flying around for publicity, the second week passed quietly. "Jurassic Park" is still firmly seated as the weekly champion of the North American box office charts, with a box office number of 830,000, pushing the film''s North American box office by $170 million.


    At this time, the whole Hollywood has lost their voice. They can only watch with wide-eyed eyes, watching this movie, watching another work by Ryan Jenkins, what kind of record will they create?


    As for "Raging Flames", it only won $9.78 million in the box office in the second week, and even so, it still sits second in the North American box office rankings.


    It can be seen that "Jurassic Park" almost dominated the North American film market during the same period, and all opponents facing it were as vulnerable as a Ford car facing Tyrannosaurus.


    Inside the headquarters of Sony Columbia, the atmosphere is serious and tense. Everyone knows that the company¡¯s main work "Raging Flames" has encountered Waterloo this year. The production cost of 70,000 US dollars and tens of millions of publicity expenses will definitely be lost. In the end, even if Cruise Pictures will bear a considerable share, the loss is still a big number.


    In the conference room, Sony Columbia is holding a meeting, but this time abandoning Cruise Pictures¡¯ people, Shigauchi looked at the box office numbers of "Raging Flames" and "Jurassic Park" and the next few points analyzed by experts. Zhou''s direction, his eyebrows were almost twisted into a lump.


    The project of "Raging Flames" will undoubtedly fail. The only illusion is how much investment can be recovered from the video tape market. Although they signed a long-term screening contract with the theater, when the attendance rate does not meet the minimum requirement, it must be Will be forced to downgrade.


    What should I do next? Xiongjian asked himself in his heart that this was his first major investment in the management of Sony''s Columbia Film Department. There was such a fiasco. I really don''t know how to confess to the head office.


    "We should abandon our cooperation with Cruise Pictures and do our best to publicize Ryan Jenkins''s agent. As long as she can persuade Ryan to establish a cooperative relationship with us, we will soon be able to get rid of the current predicament."


    An executive from the US made his own proposal.


    "Don''t forget, he just refused our purchase of "Game of the Brave" last year." Someone reminded.


    "Please don''t forget. Last year we were cooperating with Cruise Pictures. Tom Cruise was Ryan Jenkins''s recognized enemy. Do you think he could agree to it at that time? He is not short of money!" The executive said again.


    "So, if you want to work with Ryan Jenkins, you must give up Tom Cruise?"


    "You can look at the companies Disney, Warner, Paramount, Miramax, and Twentieth Century Fox that have a cooperative relationship with Ryan Jenkins. Which companies have worked with Tom Cruise after that conflict? "It''s still the executive, and his conversation changed. "Don''t you see it yet? Tom Cruise is declining rapidly, and his box office appeal is not as good as before!"


    No words are more convincing than facts. Look at the bleakness of "Raging Flames" and think about the popularity of "Jurassic Park". Everyone here nodded gently.


    When a person cannot bring benefits to the partner, he will definitely be marginalized. This is a common principle in the world.


    The film department of Sony Columbia Pictures is discussing, and other film companies are also discussing that the benefits of "Jurassic Park" have driven an entire industry chain, from movies, theaters, toys, to video games, and uncommon. The paleontology of China has begun to enter the public eye.


    How valuable is Ryan Jenkins and his works?


    The major film companies thought that they had paid enough attention to this thirteen-year-old boy before, but now they realized that the benefits that the other party could generate far exceeded their imagination.


    Hollywood doesn¡¯t have many secrets. They know very well that in just two weeks, the benefits generated around "Jurassic Park" are no less than the box office figures. The Jurassic Park set up in Universal Studios is used every day. Overcrowded, even pulling the tour program of the entire Universal Studios.


    "I want to ask, "The Lion King" has been delayed for two years. When will it be completed? I don''t want to hear any excuses. I want Ryan Jenkins''s work to be released as soon as possible!"


    On Disney¡¯s board of directors, Michael Eisner roared like this, "Ryan¡¯s second solo album, as well as our next collaboration project with him, immediately let someone talk to Pie Kingsley, as long as it¡¯s not too much. The conditions of the share can be discussed!"


    "How much revenue "Jurassic Park" has generated, I must be very clear to everyone." Ron Meyer was successfully promoted to Universal Pictures by virtue of this project, "Don''t have any irreconcilable conflicts with Ryan. , I believe that as long as the cooperation is happily, with Ryan¡¯s character, "Jurassic Park" will still choose Universal!"


    "Ryan is a nostalgic person. Unless there is a major change, we cannot win the sequel to Jurassic Park." Gerald said generously on the Warner Bros. board of directors. "Our primary goal is him. The long-term goal of the several scripts I am writing is... the Harry Potter series! I know that the right to adapt this series will be a sky-high price, and the major film companies are our competitors. I suggest trading equity in exchange for the adaptation. right!"


    "Bob, Miramax is indeed inferior to the top film companies. UU Reading , but we have our own advantages. Our cooperation with Ryan is the most enjoyable and the longest time. As long as we have a good relationship with each other Keep the relationship, Ryan will remember us, we just need to do what we need to do."


    Harvey Weinstein understands that the thin boy of the year is growing into a towering tree, and his influence in Hollywood even has a tendency to surpass his own. However, he knows his mind well that the cooperation between the two parties is bound to continue. .


    In the boutique on Hollywood Boulevard, most of the peripheral products were sold out. Looking at the hopeful and dejected customers, David Greene scolded the delivery company. When is it now? He ordered The fourth batch of peripheral products has not been delivered yet.


    When Chris and others went to watch "Jurassic Park" for the third time, Gene took the initiative to follow. When the giant Tyrannosaurus roared with his head up, what rebellious thoughts and what Tom Cruise was all caught by him. Still in the back of his head.


    Ryan Jenkins is the guarantee of great movies! This is his only thought.


    After several years of hard work and struggle, Ryan has already established a foothold in Hollywood, and "Jurassic Park" is like a booster, pushing him to move toward the highest building in Hollywood. ()

 Chapter 171： $200 million investment

    When the third week passed, the weekly box office of "Jurassic Park" finally showed a significant decline, but the box office figure of less than 61 million US dollars was still firmly seated in the position of the weekly box office leaderboard. So far it has broken. A series of records in film history.


    The highest box office number in the first week, breaking through 100 million at the fastest, 150 million at the fastest, and 200 million at the fastest, was acquired by Jurassic Park.


    In fact, people in the industry know that it is only a matter of time before it becomes the total box office champion of film history.


    After entering the fourth week, "Jurassic Park" finally slowed down. The previous long queues to buy tickets to watch movies gradually decreased. Other film companies were relieved. As long as "Jurassic Park" does not break out again, they There is still great hope for the movie to get a piece of the pie from this summer file.


    After twenty days of intensive publicity, the crew returned to Los Angeles. At this time, everyone¡¯s faces were exhausted and uncontrollable excitement. After all, they worked together to create a miracle, and the miracle is still going on. !


    Now is not the time to relax. In late July, "Jurassic Park" will be launched in North America and fully landed in overseas markets. After a short break and adjustment, the crew will be divided into two groups to go to Europe and the Far East respectively to launch a new round of publicity .


    If the film is to sell as big as the box office overseas, a vigorous publicity offensive is an indispensable means. The profit of this film is closely related to him, and Ryan will naturally not refuse.


    "It feels so good at home!"


    Back in the villa in Beverly Hills, Ryan took a long breath, the exhaustion on his face disappearing.


    "Lisa, let someone put the luggage upstairs, call Mr. Zhou''s restaurant, order a Chinese lunch, the old rules."


    Nicole ordered the housekeeper, "Also, Tyler will come over soon and order some meals she likes."


    After getting out of the car. Ryan called Scott Swift and asked him about investment matters, but his increasingly sharp-mouthed daughter heard that he and Nicole came back and clamored to come over. .


    Long before the release of "Jurassic Park", Ryan received detailed information about Blue Sky Studio. He is not a computer. He knew Pixar because Steve Jobs¡¯ resume was so famous. Blue Sky Studio only knew the name. And those animated films only, the information can only be explored by other means.


    Fortunately, because of Pixar, he knows that there is a good friend of John Lasset in Blue Sky Studio-Chris Wedge. This confirmed that the blue sky studio is the blue sky studio.


    Although it took a lot of hands and feet. Scott still offered a price that people couldn''t refuse. Acquired more than 80% of the shares of Blue Sky Studio, and the rest are naturally left to a few founders. Without them, would a layman like Scott run the studio?


    "Ryan!"


    A crisp girl''s voice came from the door of the villa, Ryan didn''t even think about it. Replied, "I''m not here!"


    "where is my present!"


    Amid the intensive footsteps, a small hand with a red agate bracelet stretched out in front of him.


    "Gift? Hmm... of course it''s in the gift shop."


    Ryan curled his lips. He knew very well that the little girl in front of him often talked to Natalie on the phone, and had long been taught badly.


    "Huh~ meanie."


    Taylor pouted, looked at Nicole very politely, and said hello obediently, "Hello, Nicole."


    "Hello. Tyler, how did you come here?" Nicole hugged her on the sofa.


    "The driver brought me here."


    The Swifts are now standard rich people, not only the commission paid by Ryan, but also the dividends from Jenkins Pictures.


    "Ryan, bring the gift I prepared in the salute." Nicole still likes children very much. Especially the relationship between the two is not ordinary.


    Of course, if the other person does not move and rolls the golden beans, Ryan will also like her very much. Unfortunately, if this guy is not as good as she wants, he will cry to you and let people become two big heads.


    Ryan first went to Nicole¡¯s room, found the latest version of Barbie from the suitcase, and then came to his room, took out a set of limited edition dinosaur models from the glass cabinet, which is not on the market. It¡¯s a bargain, but a souvenir made by Industrial Light & Magic for the main members of the crew.


    I''m just being taken advantage of! Ryan sighed, every time the little guy downstairs came here, he was like a mouse in the barn, even eating and taking, most of the limited edition items of her own were cheaper for her.


    After lingering upstairs for a long time, Ryan walked down the stairs and found that Nicole had taken Tyler into the restaurant, and the ordered lunch was placed on the white table.


    "Is this for me, Ryan?"


    The little girl first saw the two big boxes in Ryan''s hands, her smiling eyes were bent, and she pointed to the chair beside her, "Just put it on top, and I''ll open it by myself."


    Well, you are now a privileged class, I won''t care about you! Ryan put down the gift box and walked around to the other side of the dining table, so he didn''t want to sit with the troublesome spirit.


    "Oh, what a beautiful doll, thank you, Nicole."


    In just a short time, Taylor opened a box flexibly and smiled openly while holding a Barbie. Then she opened another box and smiled even more happily after seeing the realistic dinosaur model.


    "My dear, you should say thank you to me!"


    After waiting for a long time, Ryan realized that she had no sense of thanks at all.


    "Really? I seem to have said..."


    She is about to be four years old. Not only has her spoken fluently, but her head has also become smarter.


    "Okay, Ryan, let''s eat."


    Nicole spoke, Ryan shrugged, took up the knife and fork, and focused on the food in front of him.


    The three of them ate and chatted. Most of the time, Nicole was coaxing the children. Taylor seemed to like her very much and always greeted her with smiles.


    "I don''t like kids. Austin is so crying and always sick. He is too noisy sometimes."


    When Nicole asked about her younger brother, Taylor said, and Ryan only poked his lips, as if she was talking about herself except for the illness.


    "I''m stuffed."


    Soon, the little girl put down the spoon in her hand, her sapphire blue eyes rolled, and she bent over and went under the dining table to Ryan''s side, "I want to listen to the guitar! I want to listen to the guitar!"


    "Then you have to wait for me to finish my meal, right?"


    Ryan pulled back the hand she had pulled over and rolled his eyes helplessly.


    "Well then...you must play after eating. No conditions are allowed!"


    However, after Ryan and Nicole finished their lunch, not long after they walked into the living room, someone came to visit, and it was James Cameron.


    "Jim, why are you here?" Nicole asked him strangely after asking him to sit down.


    "Yeah, why don''t you make a phone call before you come, we just finished a good lunch." Ryan joked deliberately.


    "I came to Beverly Hills to do errands, just to hear that you are back. Stop by and have a look."


    Both sides are old friends. James Cameron didn''t mean to be polite. "Congratulations yet, Ryan, Nicole."


    "Oh, and this little lady. Can you tell me your name?" Cameron looked at the little girl sitting next to Nicole.


    "Taylor, Taylor Swift, nice to meet you, Mr. Cameron!"


    When facing outsiders, Taylor seemed extremely polite and educated, and he did not seem to be naughty or mischievous at all.


    "You know me?" Faced with Cameron''s question, Taylor explained unhurriedly, "Uh-huh~ Ryan''s photo album contains a group photo of you with many people."


    "So..." Cameron smiled at Taylor and looked at Ryan and Nicole. "I''m here to remind you, don''t forget to attend the premiere of "True Lies"."


    "You are really a responsible producer!" Ryan said teasingly.


    "There is no way, 130 million US dollars of investment, if I mess up, then I can only leave Hollywood." Cameron raised his eyebrows. "Ryan, I will definitely kidnap you before I leave!"


    "Don''t even think about it, Jim." Nicole glared at him.


    ""True Lies" was released on Independence Day. At that time, the momentum of "Jurassic Park" must have fallen. There is nothing to worry about." Ryan shrugged.


    "Also, Ryan!" It seems that the next words are Cameron''s true purpose. "True Lies" is about to be released. You promised my idea at Arnold''s party. I''m still waiting. Let¡¯s go to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean with you to see that huge ship with your own eyes!"


    "That''s it, wait a minute!"


    Ryan got up and walked upstairs, entered his room, dig out a few thick file bags from the suitcase, took one of them, put the others in the bookcase, and returned to the living room. .


    The few months after the Oscars included free time during publicity. He didn''t have any spare time. The few scripts he wrote at the beginning of the year were basically completed, and even the new Harry Potter episode was almost ready.


    "Jim." Ryan handed over the bag of documents and said while Cameron looked through it, "I suggest that we spend two years in the preliminary preparations. It is necessary to build a one-to-one model ship. And the various utensils on the ship are best made by the original manufacturer."


    He gave James Cameron the Titanic that he had mentioned a long time ago, including the classic "My Heart Is Eternal".


    Cameron nodded, and Ryan continued, "This ship not only demonstrates disasters, but also demonstrates the power of industrial civilization. These are what you are best at, aren''t they?"


    "of course!"


    James Cameron is not welcome at all I have written all the specific suggestions in it. As for whether to adopt or not, it''s up to you, Jim. "What Ryan wrote is just some repetitive things in the previous life, such as the tableware that forgot to engrave the name of the White Star company, etc., which will save considerable costs and invest in post-production. "Finally, Jim, Jenkins Pictures can Invest 100 million US dollars for this movie, and the remaining 100 million US dollars will depend on your investment! "


    "what?"


    Cameron and Nicole exclaimed at the same time. Although they are used to big investment and big production, the production budget of 200 million US dollars is too crazy.


    "Don''t forget, Jim, we are going to build a one-to-one Titanic!" Ryan emphasized, "As long as "True Lies" does not encounter Waterloo, with the combined strength of the two of us, we will be able to I believe that the investment of 100 million US dollars is not a big problem!"


    "Yes!"


    Cameron nodded. Whether it is for Ryan or for himself, he has strong confidence, "That''s it for the time being, don''t forget to participate in the premiere of "True Lies" in a few days." )

 Chapter 173： The footsteps of winners

    After the box office of "Jurassic Park" was released in the first week, the movies that were released during the same period or later were saddened. The only big production that dared to face its edge ended sadly, the fastest to break 100 million and the fastest to break 200 million. The record can only be impressive.


    With great difficulty, the enthusiasm of "Jurassic Park" at the box office gradually dissipated, and when the major film producers were a little relieved, another film written by Ryan landed in North America.


    Ryan Jenkins plus James Cameron plus Arnold Schwarzenegger''s power, no one dares to underestimate it.


    Originally, after the premiere date of "True Lies" was announced, Ryan still wanted to attack Mr. Tom Cruise''s work before and after. Who would have thought that the opponent was too weak and hadn''t made it to the movie''s release. It broke the bottom line and forced a downgrade from North America.


    This situation is normal. There are not a few films in North American theaters for a week or even a day trip. Hollywood is indeed synonymous with high-quality commercial films, but high-quality films are built on the basis of huge bad movies.


    In this way, "True Lies" has gone through its first week, and "Jurassic Park" has gone through its fifth week. The two movies have divided the vast majority of the market share.


    The former scored more than $63 million in box office numbers in three days, squeezing "Jurassic Park" from the box office of the week champion. Even so, the latter still scored close to $40 million in box office numbers. Firmly hold the throne of runner-up.


    Faced with such terrifying box office numbers, many filmmakers can only lower their heads and push back the films they are preparing to release.


    The smartest people moved their films to the Christmas file when they learned that "Jurassic Park" would be released this summer.


    "Although he didn''t play any role in it, "Jurassic Park" and "True Lies" are not so much a victory for the producers as they are a personal victory for Ryan Jenkins!"


    This is the evaluation of these two films in the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter.


    Various praises in the media quickly lifted him to the sky, and Ryan''s brain is still sober, even though he has made varying degrees of changes to the scripts of the two movies, which has corrected some of the inconsistencies and piercings in the previous life. But without James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, words are just words.


    Sometimes creativity is the most valuable, and sometimes it is the cheapest.


    This situation is simple to say. Most people will follow in the footsteps of winners, but they will dismiss the losers. The continuous success, especially the sweeping trend of "Jurassic Park", makes the whole Hollywood treat him. The estimation of value suddenly rises by a level.


    "As long as they can bring enough benefits to the partners, they don''t mind enshrining you as a **** and doing their best to safeguard the common interests."


    Under the palm trees in the home garden. Ryan sat at the small table and talked. Nicole Kidman and Pie Kingsley are sitting on the other side. Is enjoying afternoon tea.


    In this gluttonous feast this summer, they also obtained huge benefits.


    "So, do you plan to cooperate with Sony Columbia Pictures?"


    The question was Pai Jinsli, even though Sony had done a lot of work. But she is not a fool. Putting aside her friendship with Ryan and Nicole, how to choose in the face of the proceeds and the other party''s empty promises, is it easy?


    "Don''t worry, Pat, talk to them, they are looking at the future, and we are also the future!"


    Ryan clasped the table lightly and laughed, but Sony Columbia held a gold mine in his hands. In the future, they will rely on it to maintain their immortality.


    "What are you thinking about again, Ryan?"


    Seeing Ryan''s smile, Nicole knew what he was calculating again.


    "Nothing. I''m thinking, we made so much money this time, how should we spend it?" Ryan put his entire back on the chair, lazily, "Luxury cars, yachts, airplanes... , There are beauties!"


    "Would you like me to hold a swimsuit party for you at home!" Nicole Kidman''s words were clearly squeezed out of his teeth.


    "Ah, that..."


    Ryan scratched his face and shook his head quickly, "Forget it."


    A few luxury cars don¡¯t cost much. Forget about yachts and airplanes. Blue Sky and Pixar are the two studios that burn money, and the ¡®Silicon and Nerve Bond¡¯.


    As for the beauties, the most beautiful person in his heart is sitting next to him, does he need to go out and look for it?


    Of course, before I said this, I was still young after all.


    Since God chose to meet Nicole on the Avenue of Stars, he would never let her go! Even by all means!


    Jin Sili was a little bit emotional. After knowing each other for so many years, their relationship has always been so good, and they are always thinking about each other, even if they are sisters and brothers, it is difficult to achieve this.


    "Well, Ryan, let''s talk about other things." Nicole took a sip of black tea and asked, "Which middle school do you want to go to?"


    "No¡­¡­"


    Ryan shook his head directly. He has been busy running around since graduation. Where did he think about this kind of thing, "Do you have any suggestions, Nicole?"


    "Los Angeles Southwest Middle School, a private middle school, is a mixed school. The distance is not too far, and the management is very strict."


    Ryan almost nodded when he heard what Nicole said before, but the latter sentence made him stare.


    Strict management? Ryan understands to some extent that after entering middle school, it is impossible to go to elementary school so easily. Private middle schools are often synonymous with strict management.


    "Can I go to a public high school?" Ryan asked tentatively. Seeing that Nicole''s face was not good, he quickly added, "I''m just asking."


    "No!"


    Nicole didn''t even think about it, and shook her head resolutely.


    "Nicole, why don''t you hire a tutor for Ryan?" Jinsili said suddenly, "On Ryan''s terms, long-term expectation in school is a waste of time."


    "What do you think, Ryan?"


    Nicole never doubted Ryan''s intelligence.


    "this is a good idea!"


    Ryan nodded. At first, he thought he had to stay in school until the compulsory education age was over. Later, he learned that after reporting to the relevant institutions, he can receive education at home, as long as he can pass a special test every year. Up.


    Besides, all he wants to learn is professional knowledge that is closely related to the future. Instead of wasting time in school, he might as well hire a tutor.


    Of course, as a minor, if the guardian does not nod, it can only be a matter of thinking.


    However, Ryan knew exactly what Nicole was worried about, and said immediately, "Nicole, you insisted on letting me go to school because you were afraid that I would be too withdrawn. Now that several years have passed, I don¡¯t have much to do at school. People interactions, this hasn''t affected me."


    "You should know that I have a clear plan for the future. What I need to receive is professional education..."


    "All right." Nicole interrupted him, tapped her finger slowly, and said, "After returning from the Far East, I will hire a tutor for you."


    Ryan just showed a bright smile, Nicole Kidman said very seriously, "If you have any course and your grade drops to c, I will definitely send you back to school."


    "It''s not fair, Nicole." Ryan complained.


    "I think it''s not difficult for you at all, is it?" Nicole straightened her face, and there was no room for bargaining.


    "Okay, okay, who made you my guardian!"


    Ryan sighed helplessly, but was thinking about how he should turn over when he grows up...


    "Ryan, Nat went to two auditions in New York, did you know?"


    Pie? Kingsley also served as Natalie''s agent, although most of the other party''s affairs were handled by her mother.


    "She didn''t mention it..."


    I was puzzled at first, and then Ryan wanted to understand. Natalie didn''t tell him that she wanted to get the role by her own strength.


    "The result?" Ryan couldn''t help shook his head.


    "It''s not very ideal. One she gave up after seeing the script, and the other crew rejected her." Jinsli is shrewd and strong, so she can naturally guess Natalie''s thoughts.


    "Independent movies?" Ryan asked.


    "Yes it is."


    Independent movies are in another circle, and neither Ryan nor Kingsley can influence that side.


    "Pat, take care of Nat for me, and don''t let those things in the independent circle happen to her."


    Although the independent film circle advertises art, it is a more chaotic existence. Although Natalie is still young, some self-righteous people don''t care about this.


    "I''ll let people pay attention." Jinsli nodded.


    This afternoon tea did not last too long. Jinsli was busy with business and soon left.


    "I didn''t expect Nat to hide something from you."


    Back in the living room, Nicole seemed to have nothing to say, "She has grown up..."


    "No matter how good friends are, don''t they?" Ryan shrugged playfully.


    "Then do you have any secrets that I don''t know?" Nicole looked over.


    "Of course...no!" At this stage, he would not admit to killing Ryan on certain things Firstly, he was still young, and secondly he did not have enough self-confidence.


    If you want to keep someone by your side, you can do more than just talking.


    "What about you, Nicole?" Ryan asked.


    "I..." Nicole hesitated, her eyes flickering, but she still remained calm, "Of course neither did I."


    "is it?"


    Ryan deliberately prolonged his voice, "Why do I feel that you don''t like it?"


    "is it?"


    Nicole wrinkled her nose, raised her eyebrows, took advantage of her size and age, and looked down condescendingly, "What are you thinking about again, Ryan Jenkins?"


    "It''s nothing, it''s just going to the Far East soon, I''m a little excited."


    With a slight guilty conscience, Ryan simply pulled out this excuse, "This is the first time I have been to such a far place."

 Chapter 172： True lie

    Regardless of the yelling of the reporter behind him, Ryan strode into the lobby of the theater. Nicole took his arm and followed step by step. The light blue eyes never left the people around him for a second.


    This is the premiere of "True Lies". This investment is close to twice the action giant of "Jurassic Park". It was selected for its premiere on Thursday night before **, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox. Together, many celebrities in the circle were invited to the scene, and it was difficult not to attract the attention of the media.


    Along the way, Ryan and Nicole kept greeting people, and many people congratulated them. It¡¯s not a secret that Jenkins Pictures accounted for a considerable share of the investment in "Jurassic Park," regardless of the movie. The promotion of the popularity of his reputation, just speaking of the profits in hand, is enough for many people to be jealous.


    "Ryan, wouldn''t the $100 million investment you told Jim the other day be true?" Nicole remembered the conversation that day and asked in a low voice.


    "Of course." Ryan nodded, "I am going to take some of the profits from "Jurassic Park" and invest in the next movie. Don''t you agree?"


    Nicole pouted noncommittal. Ryan''s continuous success in the movie gave her enough confidence.


    "Trust me, Nicole, you will never regret this investment."


    If possible, Ryan would like to take out 200 million US dollars alone. There is no one-time expenditure for this money, but he still has to cooperate with other companies in the distribution channel to bring the old film companies into it. There is no harm.


    Sharing is always more popular than eating alone.


    "Well, you always make sense." Nicole shook her head with a smile, "I''m waiting for the future to become a billionaire woman."


    "Yes, soon, I promise!"


    The acquisition of Pixar and Blue Sky Studio was done through a foundation under their names. Ryan accounted for nearly 80% of them, and the rest was in Nicole''s hands.


    "Why are you two hiding here."


    Seeing Carter Eisner walking by, Ryan beckoned him, "They are so enthusiastic..."


    "That means you are welcome, doesn''t it?"


    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s an appointment. Harvey Weinstein also walked over at this time, "Ryan, you are too interesting, "Jurassic Park" and "True Lies" did not accept Miramax''s investment."


    "Come on, Harvey." Ryan rolled his eyes. "Do you still have a budget?"


    Harvey Weinstein can only shrug his shoulders. Miramax is only a professional producer, and funds are limited after all.


    Ryan smiled, and now there is a lot of rumors in the circle, Walt Disney is preparing to buy Miramax in good faith. It is said that the Weinstein brothers are considering. If nothing unexpected happens. They should accept that the two brothers have always wanted to make Miramax bigger, but they have always been restricted by funds, and they dare not start a big investment and production easily. Otherwise, if it fails, there is only one way to go bankrupt for a film company the size of Miramax.


    As if they had said in advance, the two senior executives of the film company stood by Ryan, and a few people came quickly, seemingly afraid that some of Ryan¡¯s ideas and creativity would be unknowingly. Will be bought by the other party.


    "Ryan, have you ever considered giving Warner the right to adapt the remaining stories in the "Ryan Tales"? The conditions are good." Warner''s Gerald seems to be joking, and seems to be serious. "Nicole, Warner is preparing to start the third episode of the Batman series. Can I invite you to play a role in it?"


    "It''s a great honor." Nicole only treated the other party as polite.


    "Ryan, this is Mr. Shimauchi from Sony Columbia." Cameron walked over with an Asian, and after the introduction, he quietly gave him a look-I am only responsible for the introduction. No need to consider other factors.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins."


    This is a Japanese who is completely westernized. He took the initiative to reach out to Ryan.


    "It''s nice to meet you, Mr. Shimauchi."


    No matter how fierce the competition between the two sides is, Ryan will not leave anyone behind. This is the person Cameron introduced, and he wants to show some face.


    He knows very well that James Cameron has always had a good relationship with Sony, and many new photographic techniques are also entrusted to the other party for research and development.


    "Sony Entertainment has always admired Mr. Jenkins'' talent."


    There are so many people here, it''s not a place to talk about things, the island''s vigorous come here is just to release goodwill.


    "Thank you!"


    In terms of etiquette, what Ryan did was still impeccable.


    "The Japanese really can bend and stretch, and they just lost a lot of money..."


    After Mingjian Shimauchi left, Ron Meyer shook his head.


    Although the people standing here are all competitors, in some respects, it is a loose alliance. As for the key figure of the alliance, it is naturally the teenager who is surrounded by them.


    You know, just a few days ago, "Raging Flames" was forced to downgrade by the theaters because the box office dropped too much.


    "Shirley, I heard that James Cameron got another idea from Ryan Jenkins?"


    Not far from Ryan''s group, Summer Redstone is watching this side, and Paramount¡¯s acquisition has dragged him out.


    "Yes." Shirley Lansing nodded, "It''s just an intention at the moment."


    Paramount¡¯s acquisition case should also have a result. If "True Lies" can also be successful, my own plan can give Wall Street confidence, and financing will no longer be a problem!


    There was no expression on Summer Redstone''s face, but several thoughts turned in his mind.


    Walking into the screening hall, Ryan quickly found his seat, sat down with Nicole and waited for the movie to start.


    "Hello, Ryan."


    There was someone greeted next to him, but it was the little actor from Canada.


    "Hello, Dana...oh, no, it''s Kate."


    With an apologetic smile, Ryan turned his head and chatted with Nicole, and the movie quickly kicked off.


    This is an action movie in the *type sense, which uses a dramatic interpretation of the strange life experience of Federal agent Harry, blending romance and thrilling horror into one. Almost every scene and every paragraph is remarkable. In a little bit, unlike the blunt literary drama of ordinary action movies, the literary drama of the movie is full of spirit and does not slack in the slightest.


    Like all action movies, the beginning of the film is a hot fight. Although gunfights take up a larger proportion, Harry demonstrates the strength, judgment, body style, speed and calmness. Both showed the protagonist''s excellent ability.


    This scene is a typical Hollywood fight, relaxed, calm, clean, and without any muddle-headedness.


    After showing one side of the protagonist when he was working, he naturally wanted to show the other side of his life. The wife and rebellious daughter who were unwilling to live in the ordinary appeared one after another, and the word true lie gradually emerged.


    The second exciting action scene soon arrived. Harry and the terrorists officially played against each other. After easily fixing the two young men, he started a chase with the terrorist leader Aziz.


    Chase scenes appear in almost every action movie, but this time it is not a clich¨¦ car chase. Instead, a weird scene of a horse chasing a motorcycle was staged in the downtown area of ??Washington. The terrorist drove a motorcycle in front. Harry rode a horse behind, and the two chased from the street to the hotel lobby, and from the hotel lobby to the rooftop, where funny and thrilling scenes coexist. It''s so enjoyable.


    Especially after the terrorists rushed down the roof on a motorcycle, Harry drove the horse to chase it. Just when the audience thought that the movie was going to stage a good show of a horse leaping over a tall building, the horse ran to the edge of the roof and came. Once he braked sharply, he almost threw Harry downstairs.


    Not only did this little trick not disappoint the audience, but it made people more engaged.


    The film uses a humorous approach to show the meaning of ¡®true lies¡¯, frankly speaking, only from the perspective of acting. Billy Pikes and Jamie Lee Curtis, who played that funny second-hand car salesman, completely overwhelmed Arnold Schwarzenegger in this essay with cold humor.


    Jamie Lee Curtis¡¯s dance must be impressive, a firewood girl who looks like an old woman in the house, only tore off the excess fabric from the dress. I wiped my hair with the water in the vase, and it glowed with incredible youth, as if I was twenty years younger, and I had to be amazed.


    The humorous plot always runs through the movie, even if the Harry and his wife are caught in the terrorist¡¯s island base, here, the agent Harry finally reveals his true side, Schwarzenegger carrying ak guns and killing all around, and The sturdy t800 is different. This time his character is full of flesh and blood, and will also be injured.


    The last quarter of the movie is two closely connected large-scale action scenes. The highlights are everywhere. Among them, the sea harrier fighter launches a Maverick missile to blow up the cross-sea bridge, and Harry hangs upside down on a helicopter to rescue. The scene of the wife is the most.


    At the end of the film, in order to rescue his daughter, Harry drove a Sea Harrier fighter plane through the steel and concrete jungle of the city. The daughter and the terrorists landed on the plane at the same time. After a dangerous and dangerous fight, Harry used missiles to send terror. The molecule returned to his hometown and rescued his daughter.


    With another melodious "One Step Away", Harry accepted a new task and was shuttled between the banquets. However, this time he had an extra partner-his wife Helen!


    The letters fell, and there was applause.


    This is a luxurious action blockbuster! Many people have this idea. The screenwriter and curator is Ryan Jenkins who can best grasp the psychology of the audience, the director is a master of luxury blockbuster films, the actors are experts in action blockbuster films, and they have sufficient budget support, plus The clever use of comedy elements is destined to be a classic.


    The horror wave of "Jurassic Park" has just slowed down, and another film that Ryan Jenkins participated in the planning is surging. Is it that the entire summer file will be shrouded in his shadow?


    Quite a few people thought of this, and walked to the crew who stood up, sending their congratulations.


    ps:


    Thank you for traveling to find Audrey, Atan, Black Clouds Treading Snow, Cangkong Ximu, Super Robot, for your rewards, and special thanks to Rudder Master. . . . 5 more broke out today! ! ()

 Chapter 174： Another kate

    "Nicole, where''s Ryan?" Antonia Kidman walked into the dressing room, "The live broadcast is about to begin."


    "He went to the bathroom and will be back soon." Nicole had just finished speaking, and Ryan had already opened the door and walked in. "Are you going to start?"


    Then, she looked at Catherine Kennedy and a staff member of Universal Pictures, and asked, "Kate, are you sure not to go?"


    "It''s enough to have you and Nicole, Ryan."


    Katherine Kennedy opened her hands indifferently, "I''m just the producer behind the scenes, no one cares."


    Ryan followed Antonia out of the dressing room and walked towards the backstage of the live broadcast room. After knowing him for so long, he naturally knew that Catherine Kennedy didn''t like to show her face in front of the media.


    After entering late July, "Jurassic Park" is about to land in the most important overseas market. The crew is divided into two, Steven Spielberg led several actors to Europe, and Catherine Kennedy led the rest. People came to Australia and the Far East.


    In fact, there are only two people in the group standing in front of the screen-Ryan and Nicole.


    Of course, they are no different from other Hollywood crews. There is only one purpose for such a big fanfare-to earn money, as much money as possible!


    Originally, there was Ariana Richards who played Lex. Who knew that this little girl became very interested in paleontology after the North American publicity ended. She went to Montana to help the crew once hired The paleontologist from here went to excavate dinosaur fossils.


    Fortunately, this is also a boo head that can be used as a hype, and because it is a minor, it is unlikely that the producer will sue her for breach of contract.


    Since it is a publicity, there must be a few TV shows. Of course, you have to leave this opportunity to your own people. So after the Australian premiere last night, Ryan and Nicole were invited to the TV station by Antonia.


    "Hello everyone, this is Antonia Kidman, I must have seen or heard of "Jurassic Park". We have invited two heavyweight guests tonight."


    Ryan and Nicole waited behind the scenes. Listening to Antonia''s voice, "Please Miss Nicole Kidman and Mr. Ryan Jenkins!"


    In a warm applause, Ryan and Nicole stepped onto the stage and waved to the bottom. This is Nicole Kidman''s home court, and her compliments won more applause.


    "Please sit down!"


    Ryan and the two sat on the couch opposite Antonia.


    "Ryan, you are one of the investors in the movie. Can you ask about the movie''s current North American box office and number of movie viewers?" Some questions are discussed in advance.


    "The box office statistics for the latest week have not yet come out. As far as I know, the box office in North America now exceeds 350 million U.S. dollars. The number of movie viewers is around 80 million."


    In North America. Relative to income. The price of movie tickets is basically not worth mentioning, which is one of the reasons for the boom in the movie market.


    "Oh, God!"


    Antonia Kidman showed no less than her sister''s acting skills, "This is really an amazing number!"


    She wasn''t the only one who exclaimed. There are also many audiences in the audience.


    "In fact, "Jurassic Park" has become the box office champion in North American film history." Ryan added, after all, Star Wars has not experienced a 97-year re-screening.


    "I think these numbers have been able to explain the excellence of this movie." As expected of her own person, Antonia cooperated exceptionally.


    Then, she turned the topic to Nicole Kidman, this is Australia, and Nicole Kidman has gradually secured the position of Australia''s number one actress.


    "Can Nicole talk about the situation during the filming?"


    "When I arrived in Kauai, Hawaii, I saw dinosaur models made by Industrial Light and Magic from a distance. They were like real ones..."


    Nicole talked freely. Constantly talking about the tidbits and interesting things during the shooting, causing bursts of laughter from time to time under the stage.


    Ryan sat firmly beside her, and only said a few words when Antonia raised a question, completely based on Nicole Kidman''s posture.


    This kind of promotional program. It was not too surprising. Although Antonia asked a few sharp questions, Ryan calmly resolved it.


    Besides, Nicole is sitting here, and she won''t be too much.


    The 20-minute live broadcast was fleeting, but tonight¡¯s show did not end there. The Australian distributor hosted a party in the hotel and invited many local entertainment players to participate, which is considered to be the beginning of the show yesterday. Movies create momentum.


    Partying is an indispensable item in Western society and life. Although Ryan is not a party animal, after so many years, he has adapted to this way of life. Even if the organizer has set up a short red carpet in front of the hotel, it attracts In many media, he is still elegant and solemn.


    "Nicole, be optimistic about your little handsome guy, be careful to be snatched away by the Sydney girls."


    After getting out of the car, facing the screams from both sides of the red carpet, Antonia lowered her voice and teased her sister.


    "Shut up, Annie!" Nicole gave her a concealed look.


    "Annie, worry about yourself." Ryan clicked his chin casually, and many people were holding her poster.


    The three waved their hands and quickly walked into the hotel. The organizer had already waited here and led them into the grand banquet hall on the second floor.


    Pulling Nicole into it just now, the buzzing discussion stopped suddenly. Under Antonia¡¯s introduction, Ryan either nodded or greeted people. These are all celebrities in the local Australian entertainment industry. Several Ryan knew each other, but didn''t care much.


    This is not Hollywood. Although Ryan has a huge reputation, most people still regard him as a smart kid. Nicole Kidman, a successful actress in Hollywood, received a warm welcome. At least on the surface.


    Now that the Kingdom of Great Britain is no longer honored, Hollywood has naturally become the first choice for people in the Australian entertainment industry. If an acquaintance or friend recommends it, it will naturally have an opportunity.


    What''s more, they all know that Nicole Kidman is not just a celebrity star, not only has he participated in the investment of films such as "Jurassic Park", but also has a film company with a growing reputation, even if she is only acting Manage people.


    Ryan and Antonia quickly hid aside and watched Nicole''s long sleeves dancing to the group of people, which was also very interesting.


    "She''s really welcome." Ryan took a glass of juice from the waiter''s tray.


    "It''s her halo that is popular." Antonia pointed to the essence of the facts. Then he shook his head, "However, they didn''t know they had found the wrong person."


    Others don''t know, she doesn''t know yet, a large part of the reason for her sister''s achievement today is the teenager in front of her.


    "Come on, Annie." Ryan raised his eyebrows. "Well...it seems like a lot of people have dispersed."


    Few people who could enter this occasion were fools, and they leaned in front of Nicole. Mostly just say hello. Just leave some impressions on each other. Too much entanglement will only arouse disgust.


    "Need something to eat, Ryan?"


    Ryan shook his head at Antonia, this kind of social occasion is not a place to feast on, "Forget it. Let''s find a place to sit for a while."


    There are many small round tables for guests to rest on both sides of the banquet hall. After Ryan and Antonia sat down, many people came to say hello, and Ryan also politely responded one by one.


    "Hey, who is that, as if talking to Nicole was very happy."


    Even sitting here, Ryan would still look at Nicole from time to time. An equally tall blond woman was talking and laughing with Nicole, as the person who knew Nicole the most. He can naturally tell whether she is polite or sincere.


    "Oh, that''s also an actor." Antonia is obviously very familiar with the Australian performing arts circle, and just glanced at it. "This year, the winner of the Best Actress Award by the Sydney Theatre Jury."


    "According to professionals, she is a very talented actress." She added.


    Perhaps women have also said that they are speculative? Ryan can only sigh with emotion. Of course, the premise is that the status of the two cannot be too far apart. For example, the little actress and female classmate of Nicole I met last time when I came to Australia, she was obviously perfunctory.


    This is human nature, Ryan doesn''t care at all, as long as she cares about herself, that''s enough.


    "They are here."


    After a while, Antonia reminded, "They are very speculative. It seems that Nicole is going to introduce us to us."


    Ryan shook his head. The other party was also famous in his previous life. There are legends that she has a normal relationship with Nicole, and there are reports that the two have a very good relationship. In order to live closer to her, Nicole even moved with fanfare.


    In the end, which kind of statement is true, it is not what he can understand in the previous life.


    This woman is about five feet nine inches tall and has long golden brown hair. It''s not that pretty, but she has light blue eyes that are as charming as Nicole, and she has a strong facial line, which makes her aura. powerful.


    This may have something to do with her winning a heavyweight award in Australia this year.


    "Ryan, this is Kate, Cate Blanchett, the friend I just met."


    Before and after arriving, Nicole introduced the two of them, "Kate, this is Ryan... well, my brother."


    "Ryan, nice to meet you."


    Ryan shook hands gently with each other, "It''s also nice to know you, Miss Blanchett...Well, Kate!"


    "Please sit down!"


    Greeting everyone to take their seats, Ryan waved to the waiter again and asked them to bring drinks.


    "Kate is also an actor, quite amazing..."


    The other party seemed to have received Nicole''s approval to a certain extent, Ryan just quietly listened to Nicole''s conversation with her.


    "In fact, I just graduated from the National Academy of Drama last year."


    Cate Blanchett said modestly, "I have been acting on stage, but I haven''t appeared in many movies."


    "There will always be a chance, Kate." Nicole patted her hand comfortingly The three women drank some wine, sitting together and chatting happily, the topic was natural It revolves around the areas that women are most interested in.


    As for Ryan, unless someone talks to him, he rarely speaks.


    At the same time, he was also silently observing the previous Queen Galadriel, what kind of friends Nicole made, he would not interfere, as long as the other party did not have too many bad thoughts.


    Maybe the three women were really speculative. When they parted, they not only kept their contact information, but Nicole even invited Blanchett to visit Los Angeles while on vacation.


    "Do you like her very much?" Ryan asked Nicole in the car going back.


    "Except for Judy, I have never met such a speculative person who can talk to." Nicole sat crookedly in the back seat, seeming a little emotional, "If it is not for tomorrow to leave for Hong Kong, I would also like to invite her to the hotel. Be a guest."


    ps:


    The first two chapters seem to have gone down, and I am depressed! ()

 Chapter 175： 1 river

    The Boeing airliner slowly landed at Hong Kong''s Kai Tak International Airport. Ryan and his party had just walked out of the border, and the staff of Universal Pictures in Hong Kong had already greeted him.


    "A lot of fans gathered outside the airport." Someone reminded.


    "Really? Is it more than Sydney?"


    The Far East is an extremely strange place to Nicole.


    "There are probably thousands of people." Someone said.


    "Well, Nicole, I will protect you."


    When the group was about to walk out of the VIP passage, Ryan winked at Nicole and was slightly ahead of her by half a step.


    The click of the camera shutter, the silvery white light of the flashlight, these have long become a habit for Ryan and Nicole. They took the lead to go out under the **** of George and others, frequently to the surroundings. Wave.


    The reporter''s attention was almost entirely focused on them. As for the behind-the-scenes personnel such as Catherine Kennedy, they were directly ignored.


    "What are they talking about?" Nicole asked in Ryan''s ear.


    The reporters in Hong Kong were from Britain, and they gathered around at this time, asking a mess of questions. It was just that some people spoke in English and some spoke in Cantonese, so Nicole couldn''t understand it at all.


    "Nothing, hurry up."


    Ryan was not interested in entangled with them in front of the airport, pulling Nicole forward and just walking out of the lobby of the airport, oncoming people were the black crowd and the sound of the tsunami like mountains.


    "Your fans, beckon quickly."


    Listening to the messy Cantonese, Ryan pulled Nicole''s arm. The Australian girl is not an idiot, and rolled his eyes slightly, "Don''t say there are no fans of you!"


    How could it be possible that there are many people holding posters of Ryan''s movies or propaganda posters of his records.


    There were too many people gathered here, and Ryan saw that it was not just the airport security. There are also many Hong Kong policemen maintaining order at the scene, especially when he and Nicole waved to them, these people broke out higher screams, and many people moved closer to the front, seeming to squeeze through the road at any time. A thin wall of people in the precarious wind and rain.


    After signing a few names in a hurry, Ryan and Nicole got into the car and faced the young men and women who surrounded the car. It was not until more than half an hour later that they left the area in front of Kai Tak Airport. Way.


    "It turns out that I am also very famous in the Far East." Nicole sighed with emotion.


    "Yes, Nicole Kidman is an international superstar." Ryan said humorously. "Look at those people in front of the airport, they are going crazy for you."


    "Oh, is this Hong Kong? It looks great." Nicole ignored Ryan, but looked out the car window.


    "Hong Kong is the world''s third largest financial center after New York and London, and the world''s second largest film production center after Hollywood..."


    Ryan talked endlessly, introducing a lot of things about Hong Kong to Nicole, but Nicole stared at him curiously, and then asked after a long time. "My dear, I didn''t remember that you were in Hong Kong."


    "Of course I haven''t been here." With the past and present, he is only here for the first time. "From the travel brochure."


    Finished. I pulled out a travel brochure from my backpack and threw it to Nicole.


    A fleet of Mercedes Benzes drove all the way to Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, to the Peninsula Hotel.


    Before entering the hotel. It is inevitable to be harassed by reporters again. Fortunately, after so many years, whether it is Ryan. It was Nicole who had adapted to this way of life a long time ago. After passing through the lobby with a Gothic cylindrical roof, they took the elevator directly to the floor reserved by the crew.


    Even though he came from Sydney and didn''t cross several time zones, Ryan walked into his own bedroom in the luxurious suite under Nicole''s drive, and got the jet lag obediently.


    It was dusk when Ryan woke up, and when Ryan walked out of the bedroom, Nicole seemed to be awake long ago, sitting on the sofa in the living room, flipping through some English magazines boredly.


    "Are you hungry?" Nicole asked.


    "A little bit." Ryan sat beside her habitually.


    "What do you want to eat?" Nicole put down the magazine.


    Can you eat it? Ryan almost blurted out, and hurriedly pursed his lips, "Nicole, should we go out for a tour?"


    "Get out?" Nicole seemed to disagree. "I heard Kate say that the security here doesn''t seem to be very good."


    "Come on, Nicole." Ryan murmured dissatisfiedly. "Last year, the Los Angeles riots even the Marines were dispatched. Will we not go out in the future?"


    "You always make sense!"


    The dispute between the two will always end with Nicole''s compromise most of the time, "Go back to the room and change clothes."


    Ryan changed into a short-sleeved sportswear. Nicole''s room door was still closed when she came out, and it took a lot of time for women to change clothes or something.


    With a click, the door opened and Nicole walked out. Her long golden red hair was tied into a ponytail and hung behind her head. There was no powder on her white cheeks, which was a bit less glamorous than when she was dressed up. A lot more fresh, the exposed arms look smoother than a silky white T-shirt, and the light-colored tight-fitting cropped pants set off the slender and slender legs.


    "Honey, don''t you recognize me?"


    Nicole put on a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, and after stepping on her handbag, she took another pair of sunglasses and put it on her nose for Ryan.


    "You are so beautiful now, Nicole."


    Ryan couldn''t help but complimented, and Nicole raised her eyebrows, "Then you mean I was not pretty before?"


    A woman can tolerate someone saying that she has a flawed personality, and absolutely will not tolerate someone saying that she has a flawed appearance. Ryan is not an idiot, and his head is shaking like a pendulum.


    Hearing these words, Nicole¡¯s eyes flashed, seeming to be extremely happy, and she used to pinch Ryan¡¯s ear, "Well, for the sake of your mouth, I will cover all your expenses tonight. Up."


    You are so generous! When he walked out of the room, Ryan was still rolling his eyes. From his childhood until now, she has been responsible for his expenses except for the large amount of expenses.


    Calling George, and asking for a car and driver from the hotel, Ryan took Nicole and started a short sightseeing trip.


    "Mr. Jenkins, Miss Kidman, where do you want to go?"


    Driver who can serve at Peninsula Hotel. They all possess considerable qualities, and the English spoken by this person has a hint of London accent.


    "Find a restaurant with a special point, and settle for dinner first."


    Ryan looked at Nicole and remembered that she had never been used to eating pure Chinese food, so she said, "Western style is best."


    "Ryan..."


    When Nicole was about to say something, Ryan interrupted, "That''s it, Nicole. I can''t wait for you to watch it, right?"


    Although he is very troublesome to jump off, he is so careful when he cares about people. He knows all his habits, hobbies, and everything about himself except for the most hidden secrets in his heart!


    Before she knew it, Nicole found herself holding Ryan''s hand when she peeked. I found that he was still so calm and energetic, just like when they held hands tightly these years.


    Nicole''s hands are unusually slender, Ryan knows this very well, and his hands are equally slender. Although she is not older than hers now, one day she can be fully contained in it.


    With age, Ryan''s confidence is also growing.


    The car made a round in Central, and the three of Ryan were introduced by the driver. Entered a French restaurant, enjoyed a Hong Kong-style French meal, and then went straight to the sightseeing spots in Mid-Levels.


    Standing high. Looking down on the dimly lit Oriental Pearl Tower, there is something special. The boats passing by in the Victoria Harbour in the distance are a busy sight.


    "It''s no different from other metropolises." Nicole muttered.


    "Then what difference do you want?" Ryan looked over with a smile, and Nicole shrugged, "When you go to different places, you have to see different scenery."


    "You are biased, dear Nicole." Ryan felt the sea breeze and stretched out. "Why didn''t you say that when you were in Sydney?"


    "My dear, because that is my hometown."


    hometown? Ryan sighed and said, "Well, Nicole, I will show you some different places."


    "Let''s go." Ryan pulled up Nicole, greeted George and the driver to get into the car, and said, "Go to the East Rail Station in the New Territories."


    Hong Kong East Rail Station? It¡¯s not a scenic spot, so what to do? The driver is a bit strange, but he has good professional ethics. It is only natural for the customer to spend money on his service.


    The journey was a bit far away, and there were several traffic jams. When I rushed past, it was already close to ten o''clock in the evening.


    The driver parked the car in a nearby parking lot, and George fell behind not far away. Ryan and Nicole chatted without a word and walked towards the brightly lit place.


    Ryan turned his head and looked across the river from time to time. The red and white building was very conspicuous. Although it was late, there were still a lot of people who cleared the customs. Vaguely you can see many people in uniforms patrolling back and forth. .


    The two quickly chose a place where they could easily be seen. Nicole didn''t understand why Ryan brought her here.


    "The opposite is China?" she asked curiously.


    "Hmm~"


    Ryan nodded, just looking into the distance.


    "They look no different from here."


    Nicole is very curious ~ www.novelhall.com~ After all, no one does less of the dirty water.


    After about half an hour, the night wind gradually cooled down, and Nicole stroked the exposed skin, "Let¡¯s go back, Ryan, it¡¯s a bit cold."


    "Ok."


    Ryan nodded, took a last look, no longer nostalgic, turned and strode to catch up with Nicole Kidman who was walking in front.


    The past, let it go with the wind, the other side of the river is two completely different worlds from yourself.


    Your future is in Hollywood. Climbing to the most powerful layer in Hollywood is your next goal! Ryan got into the car following Nicole.


    "What happened, dear." Nicole seemed to feel some fluctuations in his mood.


    "Nothing." Ryan made a relieved gesture and said to the driver, "Go back to the hotel."


    A river separates two worlds and also separates two lives. (To be continued ()

 Chapter 176： at Hong Kong

    As the media has become more developed, the influence of publicity and marketing on the follow-up income of films has also become greater. In the past two years, the publicity budget of commercial films has successively created new records.


    In addition to the US$70 million in production costs, Universal Pictures and Jenkins Pictures have issued a promotional and marketing budget of up to US$30 million for "Jurassic Park", of which a considerable share is thrown overseas.


    The dramatic changes in Eastern Europe, the disintegration of the polar bear, and the first to enter the opposite shore of the Pacific Ocean, the world¡¯s last large markets have gradually opened their doors to Hollywood movies. The overseas box office numbers of many commercial blockbusters have completely crushed the North American box office, and the overseas market is increasingly Favored by the producer.


    Like the crew of "Jurassic Park", the soldiers are divided into two groups, and at the same time launching a propaganda offensive in Europe and the Far East, even Catherine? Kennedy and Stephen? Spielberg was dispatched personally, which is still very rare for Hollywood of this era.


    But the benefits are very obvious. With Britain and Australia passing by on both sides, "Jurassic Park" opened its paintings in a desperate manner. In the roar of the Tyrannosaurus, there is no one enemy at all.


    On July 29th, "Jurassic Park" officially landed in Hong Kong. Golden Harvest Pictures, which signed a distribution contract with Universal Pictures, also held a premiere at the Grand Theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Center. This film is gaining momentum in North America. , Gave them strong confidence.


    If the estimated box office numbers can be obtained, Jiahe''s revenue can be worth the profit of their self-made films for a year.


    The promotion of the film started a few months ago, and it has recently become the box office champion of North American film history.


    The only people in front of the crew who came to Hong Kong are Ryan and Nicole. The huge posters of the two are hanging in front of the theater. Is Nicole Ally? In the shape of Dr. Setler, Ryan is holding the model of Tyrannosaurus in one hand and the novel version of "Jurassic Park" in the other.


    "Ryan, I like your movie very much. I have watched all of "The Sixth Sense", "Home Alone" and "Terminator 2". Why haven''t you played the role recently?"


    "Is the next episode of Harry Potter released next year?"


    Hong Kong is also a dumping ground for Hollywood, and English is one of the common languages. There are not many obstacles to communicating with some fans.


    Ryan nodded with a smile while signing the name on the poster handed over by the other party.


    There are too many fans on both sides of the red carpet. Ryan is paying attention to Nicole on the other side, walking forward quickly, only occasionally checking out a few posters.


    He gave the fountain pen to a **** the opposite side, Ryan returned to the red carpet, as if he had a clear heart, Nicole also came over, and tacitly pulled into his bent arms.


    Going to the end of the red carpet, answering a few irrelevant questions from the reporter, and meeting the photo requirements, the two walked into the theater.


    Ryan and Nicole were one of the finale VIPs. They came in relatively late, and he looked around and found them all familiar faces.


    Jiahe invited many celebrities to help out. Many of them were familiar figures from Ryan''s previous life. Of course, for him now, these people are no different from the unfamous Hollywood stars he met before, just passersby.


    "Hello, Mr. Zou!"


    Ryan shook hands with the founder of Jiahe who walked over.


    "Miss Kidman and Mr. Jenkins are really young and promising." Old man Zou and Nicole again? Kidman shook his hand lightly.


    "It''s better than Mr. Zou starting from scratch." Ryan said politely, because of the face, they are all given to each other.


    Then, Old Man Zou introduced several distinguished guests to them, including the executives of Jiahe, and the bosses of other film companies.


    Some people speak English, and some speak Cantonese. Ryan speaks all English. During the years in the orphanage, he has studied Cantonese, and there is no problem in listening and reading.


    But what can it do? Could it be that they would treat him as their own by showing off a few words in Cantonese?


    Ryan knew very well that just her blond appearance, she would never be able to integrate into their circle. The bond that maintains the relationship between the two parties is nothing more than interest.


    Many celebrities familiar from previous lives flashed past him, and it wasn''t until a handsome man shook hands with him that Ryan talked about other things after polite greetings.


    "Mr. Zhang, I have watched "Farewell My Concubine". It should be the name, right?"


    After the other party nodded, Ryan continued, "Your performance inside is very colorful. If it weren''t for the movie to get the Palme d''Or, you could definitely get the actor."


    Isn''t Ryan running a train, Harvey? Weinstein went to Cannes in May and bought the North American screening rights for the film. He saw it when he went to Miramax.


    "Thank you!"


    The opponent was calm and calm, as if he didn''t care too much about losing the crown.


    Ryan exchanged a few more words and walked towards Nicole. In fact, even the three major European film festivals that advertise fairness and justice are no different from the Oscars. In essence, they are just sharing the cake.


    However, the other actor did lose some injustice, Ryan listened to Harvey? Weinstein said that an Italian female judge, probably nervous, gave him the vote, but stubbornly voted for the best actress, which is really dumbfounding.


    Nicole? Kidman and Catherine? Kennedy was surrounded by many people. One of the men was very eye-catching. He was talking about something, and there was someone translating beside him. Nicole kept a polite and polite smile. As for not listening, she was the only one. I know it myself.


    Director Mantou?


    Standing silently back to Nicole''s side, Ryan heard a few words and probably understood what was going on. "Farewell My Concubine" returned with praise, and after Miramax bought the North American screening rights, it was once held. The small-scale trial screening, according to the news that came back, was highly praised by professionals, and the old man''s confidence inflated a lot.


    "I think "Farewell My Concubine" can hit the Golden Globes and Oscars for the best foreign language film."


    The other party is now the focus of this group of people, very confident, and vowed to say what he said.


    Is "Farewell My Concubine" excellent? There is no doubt! Take Harvey? Weinstein''s public relations skills, it is not too difficult to win the best foreign language film from the Golden Globe Awards.


    But if you want to get an Oscar, it''s not just a good film. Political correctness is the most basic element.


    "What movie is he talking about?" Nicole''s voice interrupted Ryan''s thoughts.


    "Just the drama we saw with Harvey." Ryan reminded.


    "Ah~" Nicole still looked confused.


    Ryan shook his head and simply closed his mouth. After living together for so many years, he didn''t know where he was. Nicole was not interested in Eastern culture, and only a little Chinese was influenced by him.


    Both Nicole and Ryan knew that this was not their home court. They also adhered to the principle of seeing more and saying less, keeping the necessary distance between the two sides without losing etiquette.


    Of course, unlike Ryan''s elegance and calmness, Nicole showed coldness.


    The screening time of the movie was approaching soon. Everyone greeted them and walked toward the theater. When he passed by the director of Mantou, Ryan finally did not hold back.


    "Mr. Chen, if you want your work to get the Oscar statuette..."


    Ryan only said one sentence and saw that the other party showed a puzzled expression, knowing that he should not understand too much English, so he had to change to a little bit of Chinese, "Mr. Chen, if you want to get "Farewell My Concubine" For the best foreign language film at the Oscars, it is best to go to North America in December to start public relations work with Miramax."


    If you do it, you may not get a goldman, and you will never get a goldman if you don''t do it. Ryan said it all. He did not show his internationalism, but "Farewell My Concubine" is indeed excellent and can be regarded as an Oscar statuette.


    "What did you tell him?" Nicole looked back at the director who seemed to be frowning and thinking.


    "Nothing, let''s go."


    After speaking, Ryan strode forward.


    Needless to say, the screening process, "Jurassic Park" in this era is completely unsolvable, it can be called the ace product built on the Hollywood assembly line, and it makes people fall into the plot and cannot extricate themselves at all times.


    This is not just the advantages of special effects and movies, but the advantages of technology and ideas that the West has accumulated over a long period of time through industry and information. It cannot be solved by a few people or a small Hong Kong area.


    In fact, the impact and influence of this film in the world''s second largest film production center is far beyond imagination.


    "It''s a very colorful movie. It has brought the human imagination to the limit." After the film, Old Man Zou came to the place where the crew was seated. "I also read the novel "Jurassic Park", and it reappears in the movie. It¡¯s hard to imagine such a real dinosaur."


    "Congratulations, Mr. Jenkins, Miss Kidman, I think Jenkins Pictures will take a step this time." He said again We are a win-win, aren''t we? "Seeing that Nicole didn''t mean to reply, Ryan could only speak.


    "Win-win?"


    The other party shook his head without a trace. After all, as long as you are not a fool, you can see that Hollywood has pulled Hong Kong movies farther and farther.


    After greeting the people who came to congratulate him, Ryan and his party walked out of the theater, and the two parties talked about their future schedule.


    "Kate, if it''s not a necessary publicity activity, just push the rest." Ryan thought for a while, to Catherine? Kennedy made suggestions.


    They came to the Far East to make money, and they didn''t come to make friends. It didn''t matter if they didn''t attend the parties that didn''t contribute much to the promotion of the movie.


    After a rest for the night, Ryan and others participated in a program on the radio station, and then left Hong Kong and went straight to the next stop.


    The movie has set off a moviegoing frenzy in Hong Kong, and it is even more popular than expected. There are rare long queues in front of many theaters, and it is difficult to find a ticket in a short time. ()

 Chapter 177： as long as you are happy

    ps: Ask for monthly pass, ask for subscription!


    Leaving Hong Kong, the crew¡¯s journey to the Far East is far from over. They have gone to Manila, Taipei, Seoul and Tokyo. Everywhere they go, with the power carried by "Jurassic Park", they can always set off a frenzy. .


    These places are dumping grounds for American entertainment culture. Ryan also realizes that his name has a lot of influence in the Far East. Compared with the obstacles in the writing of novels, the communication between images and music is more convenient. The images in movies and music are extremely widespread here.


    Every time they walked out of the airport, there were always hundreds or even thousands of fans, holding up posters of him and Nicole, and screaming their names frantically. It was the treatment of a superstar.


    Without any accident, "Jurassic Park" achieved great success in various parts of the Far East. It became the longest-released film in Taiwan and set an all-time high box office record of close to NT$500 million. It was also due to some of the plots. Changes in Taiwan''s film classification system.


    In Hong Kong, any Hong Kong film that encounters it can only look up. When Ryan and his team return to Los Angeles by plane, it has become the first film in Hong Kong history to exceed 60 million Hong Kong dollars, and subsequent screenings are still hot. , Is bound to create a higher box office record.


    This is definitely a crazy journey to collect money. Although it has to split the accounts with distributors in various places, the high profits generated still attract people''s eyes.


    After returning to Los Angeles to rest for about a week, Nicole commissioned a special agency to hire a tutor for him. Ryan did not make any comments.


    He is very clear. As long as the grade drops to c, Nicole will definitely send him back to school. Although the guardianship in her hands has not been used much, there is absolutely no emotion to talk about when she is cold.


    Besides, after two to three hours of study time every day, you can exchange for a whole day of freedom. This is an extremely cost-effective business.


    In addition, he has to record his lines to find his feelings and prepare to participate in the dubbing of "The Lion King.


    What surprised Ryan was that. Entering September, Nicole invited Cate Blanchett, whom she had just met, to Los Angeles because she won an audition opportunity for the other party.


    "So you chose "Batman Forever"?"


    Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Ryan looked at the two women across from him, scratching his head for a while.


    Warner had just set up the third episode of Batman, which brought people into contact with Nicole, which was unexpected. Nicole actually agreed, even though she had played this role in her previous life.


    "Do you have an opinion, dear?"


    Seeing Nicole look over, Ryan shook her head. She agreed, what else could she say? Nicole is very good to herself. But it''s not a person without his own opinion.


    "Ryan, the heroine in this script is indeed brilliant, but don''t you think its concept is somewhat similar to "Sixth Sense"? I think it should be postponed for a while before shooting is the best choice."


    Nicole put the script she had read on the coffee table in front of her, and the slick English on the cover was "Cry on the Island".


    The scene of this movie is extremely simple, the whole scene is to highlight the image of the heroine. After returning from the Far East, Ryan used his free time to drive it out. Give it to Nicole.


    "That''s it for you." Ryan waved his hand indifferently and asked curiously, "What role did you get for Kate?"


    "An action movie."


    The answer was Cate Blanchett, and Nicole went on to add, "20th Century Fox wanted me to star in the heroine of an action film, and was pushed by me, and then I recommended Kate to them, of course, just to participate. Audition."


    "What movie?" Ryan was slightly curious.


    "Life and death are fast. After I refused, it is said that 20th Century Fox intends to use new talents from directors to actors."


    Nicole took a sip of black tea and winked at Blanchett, "Kate, this is a good opportunity to enter Hollywood."


    "Thank you, Nicole."


    Cate Blanchett obviously didn''t expect that the friends he met by chance would help.


    "Are we friends, it''s right to help each other."


    Hearing Nicole''s words, Ryan can roughly guess that Nicole is not only helping others, but also building a circle of his own.


    Now that Nicole is so caring, I can help myself.


    "Well, I''m fairly familiar with the senior officials of 20th Century Fox. I will say hello to them." Ryan looked at Nicole, as long as she was happy, "Kate, you must bring it above the level To audition for his acting skills."


    Auditions are nothing more than human favors. The relationships within the rules sometimes play a very important role. Besides, 20th Century Fox just made a fortune in "True Lies", as long as Cate Blanchett is qualified in acting. It''s just a small problem.


    "Well, Kate, you just have to prepare for the audition at ease." Nicole patted her hand.


    Regarding the friendship between women, Ryan is completely a layman, just as he can''t figure out why Nicole and Judy Foster have a good relationship with him until now.


    "I''ll go upstairs and I won''t disturb your chat anymore."


    Seeing the two women who were chatting more and more hotly, Ryan waved his hands and walked back to the second floor.


    Back in the room, Ryan dialed Grant Hill''s phone number, who is now one of the heads of the 20th Century Fox film production department.


    "Hi, Ryan, it''s really rare that you took the initiative to call me." A familiar voice came from the receiver.


    "I congratulate you." Ryan deliberately started talking, "The box office of "True Lies" is almost 250 million US dollars, right?"


    "It should exceed this number next week."


    Speaking of this matter, as the leader of this movie project, Grant Hill is obviously honored.


    "Then when will my share be credited?" Ryan quipped.


    "Oh, God, Ryan, it turns out that you are here to collect debts." The other party also joked. "The North American box office of "Jurassic Park" is over 400 million U.S. dollars. Haven''t you made enough?"


    "No one would like to have too much money. Isn''t it?" Ryan changed the subject, "I heard that you are preparing an action movie called "Life and Death"?"


    "Yes!"


    The other side thought for a moment. Then he said, "Originally, the script Paramount saw first, but... You know what Paramount is now, there is no extra energy to make a new movie..."


    "I am one of the producers of the film, is it possible that you want to co-invest?"


    As the production costs and publicity costs of movies are getting higher and higher, joint investment in this way of reducing risk is becoming more and more popular in Hollywood.


    "No, no." Ryan said his purpose. "That''s it. Nicole recommended a friend of hers to audition...well, her name is Cate Blanchett."


    "As long as her acting skills and image are okay."


    "I can guarantee that."


    After hanging up the phone, Ryan looked behind him. Just now he saw Nicole push the door and walk in.


    "The friendship between women is really puzzling." Ryan murmured, and Nicole laughed. "It''s rare to meet a speculative friend."


    "What about Judy?" Ryan asked.


    "It''s different. Judy is American and Kate is Australian." Nicole shook her head slightly. "Should I say thank you, Ryan?"


    Nicole is very clear, under Ryan Sunshine''s enthusiastic appearance. Hidden with a somewhat indifferent heart, it is only for my own sake if he is willing to help.


    "As long as you are happy." Ryan gently shook Nicole''s hand. "Do we still need to divide each other?"


    Nicole smiled brightly, kissed his forehead lightly, beckoned and walked out of the room.


    Shook his head. Ryan sat down at the desk, and it was worth it all by himself. Isn''t it? If you want Nicole to stay by your side forever, some effort is necessary.


    Having been together for almost seven years, Ryan asked himself that he should be the person who knows Nicole the best in the world, but a woman¡¯s heart is always hidden in the thick fog, although he can vaguely feel that there are many secrets in Nicole¡¯s heart. , But always can''t guess or see through.


    Sometimes he couldn''t help but want to ask the question he most wanted to ask, but knew that the time had not yet come, and he didn''t have that kind of capital now.


    Why did he keep her by his side? As a 13-year-old kid?


    Ryan got up and walked to the full-length mirror. The boy in the mirror was more than 5 feet 8 inches tall, and it was definitely 173 cm in metric system. If you ignore the tenderness of the face and look at it from the back, it looks a lot like an adult. Up.


    It won''t be too long! Ryan told himself this in his heart.


    When he wanted to come, Nicole had been single, and wanted to take care of herself wholeheartedly. As she got older, this situation could not continue.


    What if Nicole likes others? Could it be true that you would risk turning against her by pouring the opponent into a concrete pillar and throwing it into the sea under the cliffs of Malibu?


    You must be mine, Nicole!


    He clenched his fist, and the seed that had sprouted was about to grow into a big tree.


    "Kate, let''s find an agent here. Also, you''d better find a fixed place as soon as possible. Long-term hotel stay is not an option."


    Although Nicole did not say clearly, Cate Blanchett is not a fool, as long as her acting skills remain above the standard during the audition...


    "Thank you, Nicole."


    Hearing Blanchett''s words, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Nicole shook her head, "You better go and thank Ryan, his words are more useful than mine."


    "he?"


    Cate Blanchett was a little puzzled. She used to be separated by more than half of the Pacific Ocean, and now she has just arrived in Hollywood. She is still an outsider and does not understand the huge benefits behind the name Ryan Jenkins.


    "Yup!"


    Nicole smiled, very proud and proud, "Ryan just talked with the production manager of Twentieth Century Fox on the phone..."


    There are some things that are difficult to understand without standing in the circle. Listening to Nicole¡¯s telling, Cate Blanchett gradually opened her mouth. Only then did she understand that the bright and cheerful teenager was far from The first child star in Hollywood is so simple.


    My luck is so good! This kind of emotion was born in her heart.


    The ringing of the phone interrupted their chat. After Nicole picked up the phone, she heard a few words, "Pat, you mean Summer Redstone wants to meet Ryan?" ()

 Chapter 178： Redstone

    ps: Please subscribe! Seeking recommendation! Ask for a monthly pass! All requests!


    In a golf club in Malibu, Ryan stood like a javelin on the green lawn, gently swinging his putter, and the snow-white golf ball rolled out slowly and fell into the hole four feet away without error.


    "Birdball!" Summer Redstone walked over, puns, "It''s pretty good, I haven''t achieved this kind of result at your age."


    "Thank you, Mr. Lei Shidong."


    Ignoring other identities, the other party is also a seventy-year-old man. Ryan looked very polite, and the two got on the battery car and headed to the rest area.


    Because he couldn''t guess the other party''s intention to meet with him, Ryan adhered to the principle of saying less and making no mistakes, except for the necessary politeness, and rarely took the initiative to speak up.


    Summer Redstone himself, he has only seen a limited number of times, and he doesn''t know much about it, but there are too many rumors about him on the Internet in his previous life, and he is a media tycoon and the owner of Paramount Pictures. He knows more or less. Some of his deeds.


    Especially for the control of Viacom, his husband and wife, father and son, and father and daughter turned against each other successively, and there was a stir all over the world.


    In essence, the other party, like the Michael Eisner he knows well, is the dictator and tyrant of the group company. The difference is that Redstone holds the absolute controlling rights of Viacom, which only belongs to him. A man¡¯s media empire.


    What is the other party looking for? This is Ryan''s biggest question. Although he has never been arrogant, he doesn''t think he has the capital to ask the other party to come to him.


    Of course, Jenkins Pictures is currently working with Viacom. "Scream" is about to be released in North America, and the Canadian region is signed by Viacom''s theaters.


    Ryan was watching Summer Redstone quietly. Lei Shidong also watched him quietly.


    In fact, long before Ryan became famous, Redstone heard her mention him when chatting with her old friend Katie, but didn''t care much at the time. After all, there were too many geniuses in their Jewish descent, not to mention business. And science, art alone is countless.


    When he bet his goal on the film production industry. While observing Paramount Pictures silently, it was during the period when the other party was rising like a comet. He and his works have succeeded time and time again, and it is difficult for people to ignore it.


    Success is not a big deal, but relying on wonderful ideas and accurate audience positioning, it drives the entire industry chain and continuously generates hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. Naturally, it will be valued by the entire entertainment industry.


    Because of this, last year, he passed through Shirley Lansing and wanted to cooperate with him and a hidden interest alliance he represented in all aspects.


    Just like all businessmen, as long as there is enough income. He never minded whether he was working with twelve or thirteen-year-old young people or the old age.


    Since then, in addition to the Paramount Pictures Group, he has been observing another person. He wants to determine whether the other party is eligible to cooperate with Viacom on an equal footing.


    The most direct goal. There are two major productions released this year, "Jurassic Park" with an investment of 70 million US dollars and "True Lies" with an investment of 130 million US dollars.


    The former is the top priority. After all, the entire Jurassic Park was created by him. He has also personally participated in investment, adaptation, surrounding design, and promotion and marketing. If the film and surroundings are really as successful as he once said to himself, then his value will be estimated. The test must be improved by at least two levels.


    In fact? The film¡¯s box office and surrounding sales far exceeded the original figures.


    Not talking about the surroundings, just talking about the box office, the North American box office exceeded 400 million U.S. dollars, and the overseas box office has been calculated to be close to 500 million U.S. dollars. The North American and global box office champions are now firmly established, and the global box office exceeds one billion U.S. dollars. Right now.


    As for peripheral products, according to statistics from his survey agency, sales in North America are already close to the North American box office. Unlike the box office, this is a long-term credit card and there is no need to consider repayment.


    Correct! There is also a revised hardcover version of the novel, which has sold more than 10 million copies in Britain and the United States alone.


    Even if he has to pay attention to the profits generated in this, the film obviously only intercepts less than one-fifth of the content of the novel. After that, it is possible to make several sequels and continue to make money...


    Undoubtedly, in this summer¡¯s feast, the most profitable individual is the young man sitting next to him. Some things are not a secret in the circle. So far, through Jenkins Pictures¡¯ investment split and personal copyright The income of Ryan Jenkins definitely exceeds 100 million U.S. dollars.


    This is the amount after tax payment!


    According to the estimates of professional organizations, in the next year, his income will never be lower than this figure.


    and also! There are also the already successful "True Lies" and the upcoming "Screaming Scream". Even though the latter is just a horror film, it has Ryan Jenkins''s name on it. No one dares to underestimate it.


    "Can you have something to drink, Mr. Redstone?"


    When they came to the rest area, the two sat in the lounge chairs, facing the young man''s polite questioning, Lei Shidong slowly shook his head and remained silent.


    He also remembered some rumors. It is said that Ryan Jenkins is not a fan of business. The actual controller of Jenkins Pictures is Nicole Kidman, and he advocated the acquisition of Pixar Studios, and was secretly mocked by many as a business idiot. .


    In his opinion, it is true. Will Steve Jobs have a future for a studio that Steve Jobs has not sold for years?


    Of course, this is more conducive to Viacom and his cooperation.


    Summer Redstone came here in person today to discuss the cooperation between the two parties.


    Viacom Group¡¯s acquisition of Paramount Pictures is in trouble!


    First, Paramount¡¯s management was capricious, and then another media giant, Barry Diller, the owner of the American Shopping Channel, spoiled the situation maliciously, and triggered a judicial lawsuit, turning a formerly friendly merger into A bidding battle filled with smoke.


    The financial strength did not prevail, and the court lost the case. In addition, the divorce case and hostile takeover war severely damped the confidence of Wall Street, even if Redstone issued a statement to dispel Wall Street''s doubts about him. But there is no obvious effect.


    At this time, not only did the new financing have problems, but even many of the more than 7 billion US dollars he had borrowed and raised in his hands had plans to divest.


    Capital is profit-seeking. Wall Street does have a huge cash flow, but if you want to raise funds, you must let them see the hope of benefit.


    How can I give the group of vampires confidence that it is not a problem to buy Paramount. In the future, Paramount¡¯s profitability is not a problem, nor is their profit a problem?


    This is a problem that Redstone financing must solve.


    Paramount is a giant in the film industry, and its main income comes from the film and related industries. Successful films are the guarantee of profitability.


    Wall Street is not a fool, and empty words are not convincing.


    Therefore, Redstone decided to find someone who has never failed in the film industry, has been successful, has achieved unprecedented success this year, and will succeed no matter how you look at it, to cooperate in all aspects. Promote the successful completion of this acquisition.


    Are there such people?


    If it were placed before this summer, Summer Redstone would think that such a person does not exist in Hollywood.


    Now, this person is sitting next to him.


    This is the most direct, easiest and most labor-saving choice, even if it is to donate a few points of Paramount¡¯s shares to the other party, and pull him onto the same battleship, to show Viacom¡¯s determination and future profitability. Guarantee. As a result, the secondary financing in the primary market is definitely less expensive than the mortgage of the entire Viacom.


    Moreover, if the two sides really want to cooperate, it is absolutely impossible for the other side to not pay the price.


    Although Ryan learned a lot about the current situation of Redstone and Viacom before the meeting, he couldn''t think of the specific purpose of the other party looking for himself. He slowly drank the juice, and Redstone was silent. He was equally silent.


    "Ryan, are you interested in cooperating?"


    The rest area was empty, and although Lei Shidong''s words were not high, they were exceptionally loud.


    "Aren''t we working together?"


    Ryan refers naturally to Jenkins Pictures and Viacom.


    "Do not."


    Redstone slowly shook his head with a serious expression, apparently considering Ryan as the real negotiation partner, "I''m talking about other aspects."


    "Appreciate further details."


    Ryan also showed a serious attitude.


    "You should have heard that I am pushing Viacom to acquire Paramount Pictures. Are you interested in investing?"


    Lei Shidong''s words obviously went beyond Ryan''s imagination, but the other party was a well-known media giant, and it was impossible to make such a joke, so he frowned.


    "Why me?" Despite Ryan''s lip service, he faintly guessed something, "I don''t think I have the qualifications to participate in this kind of acquisition."


    "Because I want to give some people confidence, and you are the source of confidence!" Lei Shidong pointed out.


    Ryan nodded slightly, combined with what he had learned from Scott, and after a little thought, he understood what the other party meant.


    However, since Lei Shidong dared to say that, he must be the first choice. If he doesn''t agree, he will definitely have the record.


    Besides, since it''s an investment, you have to use real money. Summer Redstone is not a philanthropist.


    Slowly knocking on the armrest of the chair, Ryan weighed the pros and cons, and Lei Shidong sat there in silence without saying a word.


    There is no doubt that this is a good opportunity to invest in Paramount Pictures. Even if the shares won are not too many, it will give the two parties sufficient bonds of interest, which will have a lot of benefits for future cooperation.


    If all goes well, I will have to find publishers for the two animation studios in the near future Paramount is undoubtedly a very good choice.


    You can also take this opportunity to put on a halo or amulet for Nicole...


    Of course, since it is cooperation and business, if there is not enough interest, Ryan will still refuse.


    "One hundred million dollars, three percent of the shares!"


    The old fox seemed to know what Ryan was thinking and spoke slowly. He knew very well that Ryan has sufficient funds in his hands with the various shares of "True Lies" and "Jurassic Park", "The next five years , At least three films a year."


    Although knowing that it is very cost-effective to get a 3% share of 100 million US dollars, Ryan shook his head. Such a price wanted to drag himself into this vortex, which was too cheap.


    "In the next three years, we will cooperate at least twice a year..."


    After speaking, Ryan slowly gave birth to his right hand and opened his clenched fist. (To be continued.

 Chapter 179： Count us 1

    ps: Please subscribe! Ask for a monthly pass! Seeking recommendation!


    As the frenzy brought by "Jurassic Park" and "True Lies" gradually declined, after entering September, the entertainment industry seemed to have returned to normal, reporters and paparazzi turned their attention back to the gossip scandals of celebrities. , The newspaper entertainment page began to be flooded with news of breakups and love triangles.


    On a very unusual Monday, Viacom and Pai Jinsli, who represented Ryan, suddenly jointly held a press conference, announcing that Ryan would spend US$150 million in the acquisition of Paramount Pictures. Once successful, the two parties will start a closer all-round cooperation, and at least two movies will be jointly produced each year.


    The news immediately shook North America. Viacom¡¯s financing problems occurred, and it was not a secret that the purchase of Paramount Pictures was in trouble. Now, what is their intention to pull that super genius into it?


    Well, the entire North America knows that Ryan Jenkins is very rich and is definitely one of the richest minors in the United States. It is said that he holds more than 100 million U.S. dollars in share income in his hands, but this little money is worth billions of dollars. Will be helpful?


    Some analysts quickly grasped the key and set their sights on Wall Street.


    The next day, Jules Stewart, who represented Jenkins Pictures, injected another cardiotonic agent into the acquisition. The number of viewers of "Jurassic Park" in North America exceeded 90 million, and the global box office officially exceeded $1 billion.


    Afterwards, Viacom quickly stabilized the situation and launched a second financing on Wall Street. Paramount Pictures, which was gradually leaning towards Barry Diller¡¯s offer, immediately resumed its impartial attitude and stood firmly. On the wall, watch the developments on both sides.


    The interest group represented by Barry Diller once again raised the offer, wanting to take advantage of the critical moment when Viacom''s financing has not yet been completed, and fight the battle.


    however. Two huge pieces of good news have obviously stimulated the nerves of those vampires on Wall Street. As long as they are profitable, their actions will become extremely fast, and Viacom¡¯s financing plan is quickly negotiated.


    A fierce takeover battle started, and the two sides'' quotations were getting closer and closer to 9 billion US dollars. At this time, funds were the only winner.


    No one thought that Lei Shidong actually used the tactic of arguing. When the competition between the two sides was fierce, he suddenly announced that it had acquired the world''s largest video tape store, Blockbuster, for US$8.4 billion. Then he drew up Blockbuster''s huge cash flow, and used physical stores to borrow from the bank, raising the offer to 10.6 billion U.S. dollars, and finally ended the acquisition that lasted for several months.


    "Congratulations, Mr. Redstone."


    Walking into the huge banquet hall, Ryan first congratulated the host.


    "Ryan, don''t you want me to say congratulations to you? Don''t forget, you are also a Paramount shareholder now."


    Summer Redstone was obviously in a very good mood, and he looked at Nicole who was holding Ryan again. "Miss Kidman, frankly speaking, I admire you very much!"


    "Where does this start..."


    Not only was Nicole dumbfounded, Ryan was also dumbfounded.


    "Not everyone can teach a genius."


    Summer Redstone didn''t seem to be joking. "I think you are very successful in this regard."


    "It''s too rewarding."


    Nicole knew about her family affairs, if Ryan was replaced by another child, she would have been spoiled for a long time. Having said that, would he still spoil him like this when he was replaced by another child?


    "What are you thinking about. Nicole?"


    The two randomly found a quiet resting place and sat at a small table.


    "Nothing." Nicole quickly recovered. "Unexpectedly, one day, we will also become major shareholders of Hollywood''s top film companies."


    "It''s just five percent of the shares." Ryan didn''t care much.


    $150 million in exchange for 5% of Paramount Pictures¡¯ shares. This is the final result of the negotiation between Pai Kingsley and Viacom. It seems that Ryan and Nicole have made a lot of money. Actually The above is not as beautiful as imagined.


    First, in the face of fierce competition, Viacom adopted a premium acquisition. The price of $10.6 billion far exceeded Paramount¡¯s market value¡ªthe two parties negotiated based on Paramount¡¯s market value. ¡ªSecondly, Ryan will have to perform at least six film contracts in the next three years, and Paramount¡¯s investment in them will account for more than 60%.


    Also, if Ryan and Nicole want to dispose of the shares in their hands, Summer Redstone has the priority to buy back at the market price.


    Of course, the benefits are huge.


    In the future, the majority of North American entertainment industry''s revenue will be in overseas markets. Paramount is the best company in developing overseas markets. None of the several studios that Ryan has purchased has film distribution rights. It is imperative to take advantage of the situation.


    As long as it does not have a huge conflict of interest with Viacom, when certain films are released in the future, Paramount will inevitably tilt resources to its shareholders. This is the industry''s rule.


    The most important point is that Nicole Kidman can become a member of Paramount¡¯s nine-person board by virtue of the negotiated agreement and escrow of 5% of the shares. Although he does not have much right to speak, he can become a member of the board. A huge amulet.


    You know, there are not a few people in this circle who want to make her idea, but they have never found any opportunities. The invitations to the literary and artistic films and the pornographic films that were rejected by Jinsli are stacked together a foot thick. Many of these directors and producers are well-known.


    In any case, Ryan is just a minor. It is not easy to protect the people he cares about in this complicated circle. Nicole has the status of a director of Paramount Pictures, which is enough. Let most people think twice.


    Not only Nicole, Ryan had asked Jinsli to prepare a female bodyguard and assistant for Natalie early on. At the same time, during the phone call and communication, she repeatedly warned Natalie not to enter some people''s audition room alone.


    Yes, Natalie is not an adult, but in the eyes of directors full of literary and artistic style, this is not a problem at all. In this industry, success or failure has never been measured by morality. Otherwise, Woody Allen, Warren? Beatty and others will not still be at ease, still in the upper echelons of Hollywood.


    "Ryan, Jim is here." Nicole pushed him first, and then reluctantly said to the side, "Jim, you know, he''s just like this, he''s crazy about occasions."


    "Please sit down, Jim."


    Ryan came back to his senses, and quickly greeted James Cameron to sit down, then waved to the waiters and asked them to bring drinks.


    "Ryan, I didn''t expect you to put such a large sum of money into Paramount."


    Cameron looked regretful, "I''m still waiting for you to rent a submarine and go to the Atlantic Ocean together."


    "Jim!" Nicole opened her eyes. Whenever she heard the other party mention this topic, she couldn''t stop worrying that Ryan would follow him to prank, "You want to go to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. No one is stopping, but this is not the same as Ryan. It has nothing to do!"


    Both of them are old friends, and they speak a lot more casually. Cameron curled his lips helplessly, "Nicole, you are prejudiced!"


    "Come on, Jim." Ryan said, "I never promised you."


    "Okay." Cameron understood that one-on-two himself is definitely not an opponent, and quickly changed the subject, "Why don''t you use this money to invest in my digital field?"


    "Let''s put it this way, Jim." Ryan tapped on the small table below. "If one day, you are tired of work and want to take a vacation, and throw the digital field aside, what should you do?"


    "And Stan Winston?" Cameron murmured.


    "Mr. Winston is an extremely outstanding special effects master!"


    Ryan directly exposed the essence, "At that time, the digital field will definitely go bankrupt, and all my investments will be in vain..."


    "I¡­"


    James Cameron was lost in thought.


    "What are you talking about?"


    The crisp female voice sounded, followed by Shirley Lansing.


    "Congratulations, Shirley!"


    Ryan took a sit-in gesture. After the other party sat down, he smiled and said, "All I feel is the pressure."


    "There is pressure to have motivation, don''t you?" Ryan quipped.


    Just like Redstone¡¯s previous acquisitions, he replaced most of Paramount¡¯s top management. Shirley Lansing stepped down as the media manager and officially became the chairman and chief executive officer of Paramount Pictures. .


    "Nicole, when do you plan to fulfill your director duties?"


    Shirley Lansing talked with Nicole Kidman, and both sides had the intention of getting closer.


    "Jim, where''s Linda?"


    Looking at the two people who were talking about women, Ryan asked Cameron casually, shrugged playfully with a big beard, spread his hands again, but said nothing.


    "Right, Jim."


    Shirley Lansing turned her head at this moment, "You and Ryan are planning a big project, isn''t it true?"


    "There is such a thing." Cameron nodded.


    "In fact, I have given him the script and related suggestions." Ryan nodded his chin towards Cameron.


    "How about Paramount?" Shirley Lansing said.


    "Shirley, are you so confident in this little guy?" Cameron curled his lips at Ryan, "You haven''t even read the specific content yet!"


    "I think after this summer, no one will doubt Ryan''s strength, right?" Shirley Lansing''s expression seemed to be saying the accepted facts, and then she said, "Ryan, don''t you talk about it?"


    "The initial budget is 200 million US dollars, and Jenkins Pictures will bear half of it." Ryan waved to stop Shirley Lansing from trying to say, "This movie is not included in our agreement."


    "Two hundred million dollars!"


    As if there was a tacit understanding, Harvey Weinstein and Grant Hill walked over at the same time.


    "Can it be counted as one for 20th Century Fox?" This is Grant Hill.


    "And Miramax!"


    "Let''s do it." Ryan and Cameron murmured a few words, "Jim needs a vacation. After he finishes his vacation, how about we sit and talk together?" (To be continued...)()

 Chapter 180： Dubbing

    Hand-painted animation is far more cumbersome than the production of live-action movies. For the sake of "The Lion King", Disney Animation Studios not only stranded "Aladdin", transferred the most hand-painted artists into the crew, and sent several A team of ten people went to Africa to collect the scenery.


    In particular, the lions rented from the circus will visit the studio three to four days a week for the hand painters to study carefully. The roar of the lion from the animation department from time to time is often chilling.


    Because of Ryan¡¯s relationship, Disney took many detours when making this animation. The shapes and small movements of each animal horn are reflected in his setting drawings and text descriptions, saving time is equivalent to Saved a large amount of budget.


    After more than two years of hard work, this animated film is finally close to completion. After several silent film trials, production manager Tang? Hahn officially started the dubbing work.


    When signing the sharing agreement, Ryan agreed to dub one of the important characters and sing one of the theme songs. For future revenue and the film¡¯s box office appeal, Disney naturally cannot let him go. So the younger version of Simba will be dubbed by him.


    It¡¯s just that Ryan didn¡¯t expect that Disney would find himself a good partner, and the voice actor of the young Nana turned out to be...


    "Nate, why did you come to Los Angeles?" Ryan couldn''t help scratching her head as she watched Natalie walking into the dubbing room. "Why didn''t you notify me?"


    "I came to Los Angeles because Disney asked me to voice Nana." Natalie wrinkled her nose at him, "Ah...Taylor said you are very busy lately, so I don''t need to inform you. Anyway, I want to see you surprised Look like."


    "Well, I''m surprised!" Ryan showed a shocked expression very cooperatively, and then looked at Tang? Hahn, "Don..."


    It''s just that before he finished speaking, the other party said first, "Ryan, I told you."


    "Have you notified me?" Ryan pouted, "Why don''t I remember?"


    "Because you are a fool." Natalie giggled, very happy.


    "Please sit down, Nat." Ryan didn''t bother to care about her, and asked Natalie to sit on the lounge chair and asked, "Where is Mrs. Shelly?"


    "At the hotel." Natalie seemed a little dissatisfied. "I''m not a kid."


    "is it?"


    Ryan straightened up deliberately, nearly a head taller than Natalie, and Natalie simply turned her head away and chatted with the director.


    "Nat, I think you should change a role!" Ryan was obviously looking for words, but Natalie turned her head back curiously, "Which one to change?"


    "Sanchi." Ryan smiled brilliantly, "I think your voice is very suitable for it, you see..."


    "Really, Ryan?" Natalie''s two rows of fine teeth were grinding away. Ryan was sure that if it were in private, she would definitely rush over to bite herself.


    "Oh, who is going to fight with me se?"


    The door of the dubbing room just opened, and a fat black woman walked in. Is it Ubi? Fort Gordon.


    Disney took great pains for this brilliant role, and invited a heavy person to voice her-Oscar winner of Best Supporting Actress Ubi? Fort Gordon.


    "It''s been a long time, Ubi."


    Walking into the completely enclosed dubbing room, Ryan greeted the fat black woman. Among the black actors in Hollywood, she was the one who impressed him better and more deeply. The two took pictures at the Oscars. Noodles are also considered familiar to each other.


    "Hi, Ryan." Ubi? Fort Gordon joked, "You are the little prince from the Glory Stone? I want to make you a barbecue today!"


    "Really? Ubi?" Ryan cooperated with a look of fear, "I think about it, should it be braised or steamed? How about making soup?"


    In fact, most of the time dubbing is busy. Except for a few important scenes, the dubbing actors seldom gather together. There are some seemingly funny dialogues, which are often read separately. With the more advanced Harmony technology, the cumbersome work that used to be has become easier now.


    Then Ryan again for Natalie and Ubi? Fort Gordon made an introduction.


    The script and lines have long been in the hands of several people, whether Ryan or Ubi? Fort Gordon, who are all experienced people, quickly entered the working state, constantly exchanging some views on the interaction between angles.


    "Haha, Banzai, see who brought this to the door~" Ubi? Fort Gordon was practicing Sanchi''s pronunciation.


    "Wait, Ubi." Ryan interrupted her practice. "I think you should change your tone?"


    "Change your tone?" Fort Gordon is an actor with a high level of enlightenment. He also felt that the lines he just uttered didn''t seem to be suitable for a female jackal.


    "Yes." Ryan nodded and couldn''t help laughing. "For example...with a very awkward sound..."


    "Um..." Ubi? Fort Gordon was lost in thought.


    "Wow~ wow~ wow~ hey, Banzi, see who...who brought it here." Ryan''s voice really sounded awkward.


    "Yes! That''s the voice." Rob, who is the voice director? Minkov made a sound of approval.


    "It sounds like it''s really good. I don''t know if the kids will drag me out of the house after the movie is released, and give me a beating..." Ubi? The character of Fort Gordon is very similar to some of the characters she plays, full of humor.


    "Sorry, we are late?"


    How many people knocked on the door and walked in. One of them was Rowan? Atkinson, that is, the famous Mr. Bean.


    "No..." The assistant quickly let them in.


    Ryan and the others couldn''t stop laughing, there was no way, as long as they saw his face, few people could hold it back.


    "Sorry, Mr. Atkinson, I really... can''t help it..."


    "It''s okay, Ryan, can I call you that? Thank you. Actually, most people laugh when they see me, like these." He pointed to a few people who came with him. "Parking from outside The scene laughed until it was in the studio, and then stopped before entering the door."


    As for the character he dubbed, it was Sha Zu, Mu Shafa''s long-winded bird steward.


    Soon, Jim? Kunings and Chez? Marin also walked into the dubbing room, and this time the dubbing actors are all here.


    "Wow, wow, wow, Banzai, take a look, see who is here~" Ubi? Fort Gordon¡¯s voice is very strange.


    "I don''t know, Sanchi~ what do you think, Ed!"


    "Hey haha, hey haha, hey haha~" The voice sounded even worse.


    "Oh, three intruders!"


    "I assure you, this is a misunderstanding, it''s just a wrong route positioning~" Mr. Bean made gestures happily while looking at the birds on the screen.


    "Wait, I know you, you are Mu Shafa''s little follower~" Ubi? Fort Gordon''s voice became less and less flat.


    "You can''t do anything to me!" Ryan said proudly like a proud little lion on the screen, "You can''t do anything to me~"


    His voice sounded a bit naive, but he possessed a natural kingly spirit. Although immature, there was no nobleness. "You are just greedy, ugly and stupid hunters..."


    "Wait, wait~ I think we can have a lion cub sandwich, what do you think?" Ubi? Fort Gordon''s voice has reached a certain level, which is really exciting.


    "Puff~"


    Finally someone couldn''t help but laugh.


    At this time, the whole rhythm was disrupted, and Ryan and the others had to stop.


    "Sorry, I... I can''t help it." Natalie bent over and raised her hand, smiling brighter than the sun pendant on her neck.


    "Dear lady, this is a very serious job!" Rowan? Atkinson put on a serious look first, then laughed loudly, he pointed at Ubi? Fort Gordon, he can''t even straighten his waist anymore.


    The other people, including Ryan, were able to maintain their normal state at work. Now they were seduced by Mr. Bean and couldn''t help it anymore, and they laughed almost at the same time.


    "It seems that my talent for humor is very good. Maybe the film academy should invite me to host the Oscars." Ubi? Fort Gordon shrugged in cooperation.


    Ryan wanted to tell her that you were going to be on the Oscar''s host stage. However, thinking of her dress in her previous life, she couldn''t help but feel a chill. This one brought the dressing show to a certain level.


    Especially after entering the new century, Nicole? Kidman''s glamorous looks in "Moulin Rouge" once fascinated countless people, so Ubi? Fort Gordon had a mock show while hosting the Oscars.


    I believe people who have watched that movie will remember, Nicole? Kidman dressed in full costume, sitting on a swing, the scene is really beautiful and moving. Was this scene by Ubi? Fort Gordon moved on to the Oscar stage. When she wore a feather jacket and went on the stage from a swing, she would surely make countless people spit wildly. People with low smiles might even spit out the overnight meal...


    The dubbing work is fairly smooth and this is not a movie shot, even if you make occasional mistakes, you don''t have to start from the beginning.


    There are too many funny lines and scenes in the movie. Some of the voice actors are comedians. Even if it is professionals like Ryan, the laughter still happens from time to time.


    "Okay, let''s stop here today, thank you everyone!" After successfully completing a few scenes, Tang? Hahn announced that the work is temporarily over.


    After greeting everyone one by one, Ryan took Natalie out of the animation studio.


    "What''s next, Nat?" he asked.


    "I promised Tyler that I will see her when the work is done."


    Natalie''s words gave Ryan a headache, "Can you not go, don''t you think it''s uncomfortable to bring a kid to play with?"


    "Will it?" Natalie blinked her eyes and showed a mischievous smile. "If you promise others, you must do it. Isn''t this a rule you often tell me? You don''t want me to let me miss the appointment, right?" To be continued.)()

    "Nat, why did you choose a public high school?" Ryan was asking Natalie in the driving car.


    "I don''t think there is anything wrong with public high schools?" Natalie didn''t care at all, and asked, "Then why did you choose to receive education at home?"


    "I don''t think there is anything wrong with receiving an education at home!" Ryan''s words made Natalie roll her eyes directly, and she said again, "Didn''t you read the newspaper outside?"


    "Those tabloids?" Ryan''s words were obviously disdainful.


    "Hmm~"


    Ryan did not enter any middle school, but chose to receive family education. Many media were surprised. Many tabloids were attacking Nicole Kidman, accusing her of ill-considered actions.


    Of course, there are also many media defending her, who believe that special talents must receive a different education. Nicole Kidman has done a very good job over the years.


    "Nat, if the tabloids can take it seriously, then the world would have been destroyed long ago."


    Whether it was Ryan or Nicole, he didn''t take this matter to heart at all. Then, he squinted at Natalie, "Nat, I heard Taylor say that you are often on the phone..."


    "Yup!"


    Before Ryan finished speaking, Natalie admitted carelessly, "What I said to Tyler is the truth!"


    "Fact?" Ryan opened his eyes. "Your words are the distance from the earth to Orion, right?"


    "Then you can teach her too." Natalie looked like you could help me.


    "Did you know, Nat?" Ryan''s mouth trembled. "Taylor is getting sharper and sharper, when he grows up..."


    "Here. Get off, Ryan."


    Natalie didn''t give him a chance to finish talking. After George stopped the car, she quickly pushed the door and walked down.


    Shrugged and shook his head again, Ryan sighed and said to her heart, Nat, one day you will know how powerful that little guy is.


    Got out of the car. Ryan noticed that the little blond girl was dangling about Natalie, her eyebrows were open and she was smiling, which was many times better than her attitude towards herself.


    "Hello, Mrs. Andrea."


    Saying hello to Taylor''s mother, Ryan bent down, grabbed the hand of the little guy in the stroller and said, "Remember me. Austin?"


    The answer to him was naturally a string of babbles.


    "Come in and sit, Ryan." After Andrea greeted Ryan, he greeted the two girls who were talking and laughing, "Nate, and Alison, come in."


    "Scott hasn''t come back yet?"


    Walk to the living room. Ryan was chatting with Mrs. Andrea. Scott went to New York and was dealing with the funding issue of Blue Sky Studio.


    "According to him, he won''t be back until next week."


    After calling Ryan and the others to sit down, she asked again, "Ryan. And Nat, do I need something to drink?"


    "Juice is good."


    Ask the servants to bring drinks and snacks. Mrs. Andrea walked upstairs holding her son, leaving only one sentence, "Alison, don''t make things difficult for Ryan!"


    Oh, God! Ryan couldn''t help covering his forehead, and the two girls sitting on the opposite sofa had already crumbled with laughter.


    "Is it funny?" Ryan opened his eyes, like a tiger choosing someone to eat.


    "We just ignore you..."


    This sharp-toothed little girl pulled Natalie''s hand, "Nat, let''s go to my room and let Ryan stay in a daze here!"


    "Okay, I can teach you how to deal with him!"


    Natalie stuck out her tongue playfully at Ryan, and followed Tyler away.


    After drinking a glass of juice, Ryan simply walked out of the villa and entered the small garden of Swift''s home, which was planted with purple and red hydrangeas. This was his masterpiece when he was shooting Johnson & Johnson''s commercials.


    Although the garden is not large, it has been carefully maintained and looks very tidy. The purple clusters of flowers are connected to each other, which is very beautiful. No wonder the little guy likes this plant so much.


    As soon as Ryan was about to pick one of the bright red flowers, Taylor screamed, "Ryan! Don''t steal my flowers!"


    "It''s not a good boy who destroys flowers, isn''t it, Tyler!" Then came Natalie''s abusive voice.


    Why are they everywhere? Ryan raised his head, only to find that Taylor and Natalie were looking at him with a smile on the small balcony on the second floor.


    Natalie was okay, but with a playful smile, Taylor glared at him, pouting, as if saying that as long as you dare to touch my flower, I dare to cry for you.


    "I just smell the scent of flowers." Ryan quickly put down his hands and told a lie that he didn''t even believe.


    "Huh~"


    The high tip of the nose pointed towards the sky.


    "My dear, don''t forget, I gave you this flower." Ryan spread his hands helplessly.


    "You also said that you want to send me a dinosaur, but it hasn''t come true yet!" Not only Ryan, but Natalie''s mouth trembled.


    dinosaur? Where can I find this gift?


    "Okay, Tyler, let''s play jigsaw puzzles and ignore Ryan."


    Although she often instigated Tyler to find trouble with Ryan, Natalie knew very well who was her best friend, so she hurriedly released the siege.


    Ryan didn¡¯t bother to pay attention to the two lawless guys who got together, and simply walked into the courtyard. George was sitting on a chair under the tree, drinking tea and chatting with the young maid of the Swift family, looking handsome and sunny. Very attractive to the other person''s eyes.


    Seeing Ryan, the maid greeted him and left quickly.


    "She fell in love with you, George?"


    Sitting in the opposite chair, Ryan deliberately teased his bodyguard.


    George stretched out his hand, made a helpless gesture, and looked cool as he stuck his sunglasses.


    "Do you want to be an action star?" Ryan squeezed his chin, as if he was really thinking about something. "You have skill and appearance. As long as the acting is not too bad, you will definitely be popular."


    "I have a role that suits you very well." He added.


    This is not a train. The copyright of the "Mission Impossible" movie is in the hands of Ryan, and he has always wanted to find a suitable candidate for Ethan Hunt.


    "Forget it, Ryan." George shook his head slowly and firmly. "I am doing my current job very happily, and I don''t want to change another career."


    Hearing what he said, Ryan could only sigh. People like George who have been on the battlefield and have seen life and death have not left any war sequelae. The strength and firmness of the mind will certainly not change the decision just by persuading others.


    "How is the investigation company?" Ryan changed the subject.


    "Not bad. I took a few orders and completed them beautifully. The guy from Garcia is very minded." George replied seriously.


    "Where is ours?" Ryan asked.


    "Tom Cruise in "Raging Flames", in addition to the 15 million US dollars produced. He has invested 5 million US dollars in publicity expenses and 3 million US dollars to buy the box office. The latest results show that the current box office And the surrounding area, only more than 4 million U.S. dollars were recovered."


    George is very cautious, many things will not fall on paper. As he recalled, he said, "Because of the failure of this movie, Sony Columbia has decided to abandon Tom Cruise, and the other two shareholders of Cruise Pictures are also extremely dissatisfied with him. I am planning to Divestment."


    Very good result! Ryan nodded. After all, Tom Cruise has worked hard in Hollywood for many years. It is impossible to kill him in a single attack, but this box office defeat will cause serious doubts in the entire circle, plus losses. Those money, presumably his situation will become more and more difficult.


    It doesn''t matter, Mr. Cruise, no one in Hollywood will ask you to make a movie by then, I will invest in you to make a movie! Ryan slowly buckled the armrest of the chair, but the shooting location was going from Hollywood to San Fernando Valley.


    After chatting with George about other things, the sun gradually disappeared into the horizon. Ryan was about to say goodbye to Natalie, but saw her pulling Taylor out of the villa.


    "We should say goodbye, Nat." Ryan reminded.


    "That''s not right~" Taylor said, "You want to invite me and Nat to dinner!"


    Ryan looked at Natalie and brought this trick-or-treating bag. Can dinner be eaten safely?


    "Let''s go, Ryan," Natalie promised. "I will take care of Tyler."


    "Where do you want to go?"


    Ryan asked Natalie for advice in the Bentley.


    "Planet Hollywood!" Taylor jumped off Natalie''s lap.


    "Just go there." Natalie nodded.


    The car quickly drove towards Wesley Street, while Ryan whispered some precautions to Natalie.


    The Planet Restaurant declined reporters and paparazzi. Because of its strict management, it has become the first choice for many Hollywood stars to eat. Paparazzi can¡¯t get inside, but they can stay outside to take pictures.


    Therefore, its front and rear doors are also famous paparazzi gathering places in Los Angeles.


    "Okay, Tyler, put your hat on."


    Before getting off the car, Ryan took out three baseball caps, big and small, and grabbed the smallest one and buckled it on the little girl''s head. The big brim almost completely covered her face.


    "Why?" the little guy murmured.


    "No picking!"


    Ryan''s expression became serious, and Taylor unconsciously let go of his hand on the hat.


    "Nate You took Taylor to keep a distance from me."


    After finishing the order, Ryan took the lead to get out of the car, and before he reached the door of the restaurant, paparazzi had already discovered his presence, and several people with cameras hung around him from all sides.


    Since he came out to be a target, he must have the consciousness of being a target. Ryan walked openly towards the restaurant, completely ignoring the flashing light and the occasional clamor.


    On the way here, Ryan had already booked a seat. Under the leadership of the waiter, Taylor and Natalie walked over just not long after sitting down.


    "Those people are really annoying!" Tyler took off his hat and was still on the dining table.


    "Did something happen, Nat?" Ryan asked strangely.


    "I was recognized by them!"


    Natalie reluctantly said, "They are crazier than the paparazzi in New York!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 182： Love tonight

    Recognizing stars, this is the most basic skill for paparazzi. Although Natalie has grown a lot since this time, it is not unusual to be recognized by them.¥ì?¥ì


    It was probably because of the continuous flashing that Taylor was a little uncomfortable, and then he started a little temper.


    "Those people are so annoying, Ryan, you should ask George to tell them they were all arrested."


    After ordering the meal, Taylor bulged his mouth and was still muttering, and he was in a great posture to go out and find the paparazzi to settle accounts.


    "What about after being caught?" Ryan asked casually.


    "Throw it off the cliff on Mulholland Road." Tyler''s eyes writhed and seemed to think of a better idea. "It''s not bad to throw it into the sea to feed the fish."


    "God." Ryan sighed, what is this all about, "Taylor, who taught you this?"


    Ryan''s gaze has been placed on Natalie, this girl who has entered the rebellious period is the most suspicious.


    "Don''t tell me, Taylor." Natalie pulled the little girl next to her.


    "Why?" In Taylor''s pair of royal blue eyes, Natalie''s jokes clearly flickered. "Didn''t you teach me, Nat?"


    Without waiting for Natalie''s words, she said again, "Didn''t you say that when we grow up and Ryan becomes a **** again, shall we throw him into the sea to feed the fish?"


    "You..." Natalie stared into Taylor''s big eyes, clearly saying that you were a traitor.


    "Really, dear Nat?" Ryan put his hands on the table and looked down at Natalie condescendingly. "Are you going to feed me sharks or killer whales?"


    "How about feeding octopus?"


    Natalie didn''t have the consciousness of admitting mistakes at all, "I will give you a choice then."


    "Before that, I will throw you into the sea to feed the tortoises." Ryan did not show any weakness.


    Seeing that a small dispute was about to happen, the waiter walked over with the meal and just interrupted the two people who were fighting.


    Ryan ordered the Italian dishes from Planet Hollywood for the three of them. There is always a lot of variety in Zero Zero, when the second waiter walked over. Ryan found out that his party had won the lottery.


    Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone occasionally appeared as waiters in the restaurants they invested. It has spread throughout Hollywood, but Ryan has always been here in double digits, but never met him. Over.


    "Hello, Mr. Stallone!" Ryan is not so stupid to treat him as a waiter.


    "Oh, Ryan!"


    After Stallone put down the disk in his hand, he grabbed Ryan''s stretched hand and shook it lightly, "This is your friend?"


    Ryan gave a soft introduction. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Taylor murmured to Natalie, "Who is he?"


    "Mr. Stallone is a famous movie star!" Natalie winked at Taylor.


    The little girl didn''t seem to see it. She jumped from her seat to the ground, shook hands with Rambo in a serious manner, and suddenly asked, "Hey, are you more famous than Ryan?"


    This is not a good question, Ryan glared at Tyler. Smiled and said, "She is so naughty."


    "It''s ok."


    Stallone waved his hand, "Then I won''t disturb you."


    Tyler blinked his eyes as he watched the stout man turn around. He asked dazedly, "Did I do something wrong?"


    "No, you did a good job, very good!"


    Opposite is just a four-year-old girl. Ryan couldn''t say anything, anymore, if it flooded her here. Natalie and herself are the only ones who suffer.


    Fortunately, this little guy is smart enough to use a spoon and fork to eat by himself. Even if there are occasional omissions, Natalie will be on the sidelines, so Ryan doesn''t need to bother.


    "Dad went to New York, and I won¡¯t be able to come back in a while." During the meal, a few people didn¡¯t stop talking. Tyler was talking about his father in a muffled voice, "I heard my dad say that it¡¯s like Ryan is in New York. What did you buy...what, Dad is going to take a look."


    "It''s an animation studio." Ryan briefly explained to Natalie.


    "Didn''t you buy Pixar?" Natalie put down her fork and pulled a tissue to help Tyler wipe her face.


    "That''s different." Ryan felt that he had almost eaten, and cleaned up the mess below. "They will make me a real rich man in the future!"


    "Can you have no other pursuits except money?" Natalie retorted.


    "Yes." Ryan jumped up naturally, "Oscar statuette."


    Before Natalie could speak, he blocked it with a word, "Don''t say you don''t want to take it, dear Nat!"


    "I have never denied..."


    "Stop! I want to go home!" The little girl who was completely ignored by the two was dissatisfied, patted the dining table to show her existence, "I''m full and want to go home."


    After sending Taylor home first, the car drove directly into the parking lot of the Four Seasons Hotel. It was still early. Ryan was not eager to go back, and entered the hotel with Natalie.


    "Ryan, please sit down."


    Mrs. Shelly greeted Ryan enthusiastically, but Natalie took his hand and said to her mother, "I went to the room with Ryan."


    "okay."


    This is a two-bedroom luxury suite in the hotel. The service of Four Seasons Hotel is not worse than that of Hilton Hotel. When Ryan enters the room, the first thing he sees is a few books on the small round table.


    "Anything to drink?" Natalie asked.


    "Whatever you want."


    He wouldn''t be polite with Natalie, and he walked over and turned over each of the books stacked together. Unlike his imagination, this is not a psychology book.


    "Basic Theory of Directing" and "Directing and Photography" are all about the basic knowledge of directors and photography. Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head. What is Nat going to do?


    "What''s wrong, Ryan." Natalie walked over with two glasses of juice.


    "Are you looking at these lately?" Ryan pointed to the book in front of him.


    "It''s just that I flip through it occasionally when I have time." Natalie opened a book casually. "I don''t read much, and I don''t understand some things."


    Ryan nodded, and it was true. These books are still new, obviously not many times.


    "I''m not as smart as you. If I want to keep all a grades, I have to take time to study school homework." Natalie seemed a little emotional. "Time is really not enough sometimes."


    "Nate is beginning to be sentimental too." Ryan teased deliberately, "This is really rare."


    "That''s because I grew up!"


    Natalie glared over, and Ryan glared back unceremoniously. The eyes of the two were comparable to the bison on the Montana prairie, and they seemed to want to defeat each other with their eyes.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    In the silent recording studio, Ryan puts his hand on the headset, listening to his own singing intensively. After the warm and romantic melody, it is his increasingly mature singing.


    "This tranquility surrendered under the rush of the day, and even the scorching breath in the gust of wind has changed its direction... Do you feel the love tonight. It surrounds you and me. For the stunned wanderer, that Enough, we already have so much... Do you feel the love tonight..."


    Putting down the headset, Ryan walked out of the recording studio and shook his head slightly.


    "Do you want to continue, Ryan?" John Burns understood that he was still dissatisfied.


    "Take a break." Ryan frowned.


    In general, the recording of "Infinite Love Tonight" went smoothly. Two consecutive full recordings are not bad, but Ryan understands that this is definitely not his limit.


    This song is not only the theme song of "The Lion King", it will also be included in his second album. This album, which Disney has put on the agenda for a long time, has been delayed because of Ryan''s desire to make this album a classic and create a commercial miracle.


    Since the Grammy. Ryan made up his mind not to play with the Recording Association. The first consideration for honor is the Oscar statuette. Records are still mainly commercial and vocal. After all, his energy and public relations resources are limited, and it is impossible to do both.


    Therefore, most of the songs he prepared for the second album tended to be rock and pop, and many of them were widely spread in previous lives, but Grammys dismissed them.


    Ryan sat in the chair without saying a word, quietly thinking about how to improve his singing and make this song even better.


    "Is there anything I can help?"


    Natalie had been sitting in another chair reading a book, then closed the book and looked over.


    "You can sing a chorus for me." Ryan laughed.


    "Come on, Ryan." Natalie handed over the book. "It might be better to read the book and calm down."


    "By the way, Nat, when are you going back to New York?" Ryan did not answer. Perhaps this method is useful for Natalie, but for him, it is just useless.


    "Tomorrow." Natalie made a gesture that you understand. "There are not many lines that belong to Nana."


    "Oh, my God." Ryan made a rather exaggerated expression, "Why didn''t I write more lines for Nana when I wrote the script, so you can stay in Los Angeles longer... ¡­"


    "It''s only about four hours from Los Angeles to New York. You can come to New York to see me at any time." Natalie had a bad idea, "How about you apply to my middle school so that we can meet every day."


    "I hope you can move to Los Angeles as soon as possible Ryan stood up and walked towards the recording studio, "You continue to read, I have to work. "


    One day passed. Although Burns heard that the song had been recorded quite well, it still couldn''t satisfy Ryan.


    Until the next morning after sending Natalie on the plane, Ryan rushed back to the recording studio. I don¡¯t know why, his feelings suddenly exploded. The singing of the recorded songs did not change much, but the feelings added became sincere. There is more power that can directly touch people''s hearts.


    "Very good, Ryan!" John Burns did not hesitate to praise his praise, "This will definitely be a classic love song."


    Could it be that Nat''s departure made me feel the mood of the song? Ryan was a little puzzled, and then threw the idea behind his head, and continued his busy work. . )

 Chapter 183： Real man

    ps: Four more broke out today!


    After handing over the latest episode of Harry Potter to the publishing house, Ryan devoted himself to the recording of the new album. The successful completion of "Tonight Infinite Love" allowed him to find his state and feeling, and the process of recording the rest of the songs. It''s almost synonymous with quality and quantity. The growing maturity and near-perfect singing have made Hollywood record companies full of confidence.


    "Trust me, Michael, Ryan''s new album will be a huge success!"


    This is what the record company Reid said when attending Disney¡¯s board of directors, "The album "Ryan Jenkins" has achieved impressive commercial results, but it will not be worth mentioning in front of the new album. We should add Big marketing budget!"


    Reid can have such confidence, in addition to Ryan''s own appeal, the excellent degree of the song is also an important reason.


    This album, which was named "My Lover" by Ryan, is still ten songs. "Cup of Life" and "Love Tonight" are naturally among them. The rest are supplemented and arranged, and tend to be more inclined The popular "", there are two popular rock "" and "".


    The lead title song of the album is naturally the name of the album, "".


    In addition, there are two original songs by Ryan, called "People Around" and "Bridging the Gap".


    Unlike "Ryan Jenkins" a bit of a hodgepodge, this album not only unifies the music style. And it can be called a love song album.


    In short, to use John Burns jokingly when he was recording the song. It¡¯s, ¡®Ryan has grown up and wants to find his own love! ¡¯


    Still have to look for it? This was Ryan''s only thought at the time.


    The release time of the album is officially set in January next year, and the publicity work has long been on the agenda. When the global sales of the first album exceeded 20 million, Pa? Kingsley renewed its contract with Hollywood Records. En''s share is further increased, and privileges are increased again.


    Of course, as a credibility and professional ethics person-he admits-Ryan will not make things difficult for companies to cooperate with for no reason.


    in fact. His performance has always been the same as the evaluation of him by most people in the industry-Ryan Jenkins is a person who knows how to balance interests, advocating credibility and nostalgia.


    Even those who have continuously attacked him since his debut, it is difficult to pick out the thorns in this regard. The companies or individuals that cooperated with him have all received generous returns. Needless to say, just look at Universal Pictures and Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox this summer.


    After recording all the songs, and filming the covers and posters, the record aspect is temporarily over. All Ryan needs to do is to cooperate with the Hollywood record company''s marketing plan.


    This can be regarded as the last in-depth cooperation between him and Disney, if the scheduled plan goes well. There will inevitably be a rift between the two parties in the future.


    In the sound of "bang~", George easily grabbed Ryan''s fist in his hand, swept his leg like lightning, and kicked him onto the thick cushion.


    "You are too slow. Ryan!" George shook his finger at him.


    "Come again!"


    Despite the sweat on his naked back, Ryan didn''t care. A carp stood up.


    Although he has been practicing with George for several years, he is still not an opponent of his own bodyguard. This is the third time in a row that he has been put on the ground.


    "Let''s stop here today, Ryan."


    From the other side of the fitness room, Nicole''s voice came, "Honey, go and clean up, we will go out soon."


    "okay then."


    Barefoot, Ryan jumped off the mat, walked to Nicole''s side, and asked caringly, "Are you tired?"


    Nicole also just finished exercising, with long golden red hair hanging wet on both sides of her cheeks, her slender legs seemed to be able to reflect people''s shadows, and her snow-white sweatshirt clung to her slender body because of sweat. Because of the wetness, a different kind of scenery is faintly revealed.


    "Are you not hurt?"


    Ignoring Ryan''s question, Nicole took the towel on her neck and carefully wiped the sweat from his body. The look of care and care was the same as when Ryan first came to her.


    "Nicole..."


    "what''s happenin?"


    "It''s nothing, I''m going to take a shower."


    "Well, dear, remember that we are going to participate in the Halloween parade!"


    After taking a shower, Ryan sat in the living room and waited for a full hour before Nicole walked down from the second floor with a bag in her hand, which must be a prepared fancy dress.


    "What did you prepare?" Ryan asked curiously, "Won''t it be Wonder Woman?"


    "You''ll know then!" Nicole winked at him, clearly saying that it was a secret.


    Although not as well-known as the parade in Greenwich Village, the Hollywood Halloween Parade is also eye-catching. Every year, many stars will join it and become a unique landscape.


    The two have never participated in it. Ryan is not interested in the game of "Troubleshooting Without Giving Candy". This year happened to have time for both he and Nicole. They simply went to Hollywood Boulevard to join in the fun, and Quandang relaxed.


    At this time, there is always a season of "monsters and ghosts". Pumpkin head is an indispensable dress for Halloween. Jason and Freddy are still popular. The black big bat and the Krypton wearing underpants are not the same. less.


    In addition, this Halloween also participated in a new popular look, which is Nicole''s current dress.


    The black robe envelops her body, the long golden red hair is covered with a jumpsuit and a pointed hood, and the white skull mask is exaggerated and funny. The silver''knife'' she is holding back is scratched from Ryan''s throat from time to time. However, it seems to be warning him that if there is any wrongdoing, it will definitely not end well.


    "It''s so strange that we two stood together!" Ryan rolled his eyes and blocked Nicole''s weapon with an old wand.


    "My dear. I remember you designed the shape in "Scream", right?" Nicole''s voice came from behind the white mask.


    "Quickly keep up. We are going to fall behind."


    Ryan took Nicole, hurried a few steps, and turned to Hollywood Boulevard, "Hey, Nicole, don''t be too far away from me, there are too many people in this killer look."


    "That means the movie is very popular." Nicole pulled on Larry''s pointed wizard hat. "Furthermore. Will you admit me wrong?"


    "of course not!"


    Even if Nicole was thrown into a crowd of tens of thousands, Ryan was confident that she could find her with her eyes closed.


    "Is this perverted killer so popular?"


    When the two passed by, there was a group of people in the same black robes on the side of the road, making gestures with fake knives, seeming to have a great time.


    "Don''t mention it, the saliva criticized by those film critics almost drowned me!" Ryan snorted disdainfully, "It''s just that I don''t have a sense of social responsibility. I teach youth crime!"


    "My dear, there are only a few movies that have a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth." Nicole''s comforting voice sounded, "Besides, there are still many people defending you? They all say that you have opened up a new model of horror movies.


    "Hmph, if I really have the skills of Gandalf, I must blow those guys up into the sky with a fireball." Ryan paused for the wizard''s rod in his hand. It seems that I really want to send a fireball out, "Nicole, what do you think of my Gandalf''s look? Can I win the prize?"


    "what¡­¡­"


    Nicole seemed a little surprised. "You''re Gandalf? I thought it was Dumbledore."


    Ryan squeezed the fake beard. With a defeated expression, "Next time I will pretend to be Steve Rogers. You can pretend to be Peggy Carter."


    This tentative sentence is a pun, but a group of people dressed as hippies just caught up from behind, drowning his words into heavy metal music.


    "Hurry up, Ryan." Seeing the people around her suddenly fell behind, Nicole couldn''t help turning back. "Well, don''t think about it. I was just joking."


    "I didn''t think much." Ryan caught up with Nicole in two strides. "I was just thinking about how much profit "Scream" can bring us!"


    "Isn''t the box office already over 100 million?" Nicole said very well. "The horror film can get such a box office. It is already very good. Are you still not satisfied?"


    "No one will feel too much money, do they?"


    Feeling a little hot, Ryan simply took off the pointed gray wizard hat and white beard.


    "Then you look forward to continuing to sell the surrounding area."


    Seeing Ryan regained his prototype, Nicole also took off his hood and mask.


    "After Halloween, sales will definitely drop."


    The copyright of this perverted killer style has long been bought by Ryan, and more than a month after "Screaming and Screaming" was released, it happened to be Halloween, and it was very popular.


    "I''m a little tired, Ryan."


    Probably because of a lot of exercise before coming here, Nicole has some problems with physical strength.


    "Do you need me to carry you?" The sky-blue eyes flickered.


    "Come on, do you want us to make headlines tomorrow? Make me the laughing stock of Hollywood?"


    As Nicole said, pointing to a place not far from the roadside, some reporters were taking special shots with their telephoto cameras at the parade.


    While talking, someone had noticed the two of them Ryan quickly put the big wizard hat on his head, although it is normal to meet celebrities in the Hollywood area, what if someone comes to harass?


    "Let''s go home, Ryan." Nicole should be really tired.


    "George." Ryan beckoned behind him, "Call the driver and ask him to detour and drive over."


    Then, he pulled Nicole to the side of the road, pulled down his hood to cover the glamorous face, and went straight into a coffee shop.


    "Let''s take a break, there will always be some time before the car comes."


    This road is already occupied by the parade, and if a car comes over, it needs to detour.


    Nicole was sitting at the coffee table, watching Ryan taking care of herself after being busy, and this thought came to her mind unconsciously.


    The boy who was ignorant at the time has become a caring teenager who will become a real man soon. (To be continued.

 Chapter 184： Blizzard

    After Halloween, the "Lion King", which has been maintaining a steady publicity posture, suddenly exerted its strength. Various related news and advertisements spread out like a bomb dropped by a super sky fortress.


    "Scream" can be a big seller, which makes Disney''s confidence in this animated film bursting.


    In addition to the regular posters, Disney did not even let the voice actors go, and released the news that Ryan and Natalie were dubbing together.


    "Ryan, I passed the audition for a movie!" Natalie''s excited voice came through the call from New York.


    "Congratulations, Nat!" Ryan lazily expressed his congratulations.


    "Hmph, you don''t care at all." Natalie was a little dissatisfied, "Do you have any opinion on me?"


    "Well, when will the crew start? And what is the name of the movie?" Ryan corrected his attitude and asked seriously.


    "It will be next year when it starts. According to Director Mann, he needs enough time to prepare, and he has to go to the door to persuade Robert Deloni and Al Pacino."


    "Robert Deloni and Al Pacino?" Ryan frowned. "Is it Michael Mann''s movie?"


    "Yes, it''s called "The Wire of Fire"!" Natalie explained again, "It''s a police movie."


    Ryan naturally knew about this movie, after all, Natalie was also one of the actors in the previous life.


    Apart from the rivalry between Natalie and the two male protagonists and the classic gun battle, this movie left Ryan''s biggest impression of the lengthy bedding and sleepy slow rhythm.


    Although it was praised by film critics, it was not too successful at the box office.


    Originally, Ryan wanted Natalie to star in "Game of the Brave", but she refused. After entering the rebellious period, her previous life''s personality gradually showed signs.


    "So be it, Ryan. I''m going to read a book."


    "Goodbye, Nat."


    Ryan sighed softly after hanging up the phone. Natalie would rather choose a small role with little weight in "Stealing Fire" than to play the protagonist of "Game of the Brave", she is getting closer and closer to the original path.


    Although the two are still noisy, and better still, Ryan can feel that Natalie has her own secret in her heart, and she seems to have some plans for future development.


    That''s good, you can live a happier life by following the path you like.


    "Sorry, Scott. I kept you waiting."


    Ryan remembered that someone in the living room had to greet him. Nicole is not here. He is the master of this house.


    "It''s okay, is it Nat?" Scott smiled slightly and waved his hand. "Is Nicole away?"


    "She went to Europe to participate in Chanel''s activities."


    Ryan shrugged. Helplessly asked, "Is there any document that needs to be signed by her guardian?"


    "Yes!" Scott nodded.


    "Are you in a hurry? Wait a while."


    This is a very helpless thing, and Ryan will continue before he is a child.


    "Not in a hurry." Scott handed over another folder. "Silicon and Nerve Key wants your authorization."


    "Authorization?"


    Ryan was surprised. Apart from financial supervision, that game studio had never interfered with their operation.


    "Is such that."


    Scott explained, "Didn''t you publish more than a dozen magical stories on Vanity Fair, some of which are about humans and orcs. There seem to be two heroes called..."


    "Anduin Lothar and Orgrim Destruction Maul." Ryan reminded.


    "Correct!"


    Nodding, Scott continued, "The studio wants your authorization. They want to use these stories as the background to develop real-time strategy games."


    "Wait...wait." Ryan folded his arms around his chest. He squeezed his chin, "You mean they want to develop into a game?"


    "Yes!"


    Scott is very sure, "Also, they want to change the name of the studio."


    Ryan didn''t answer the call, and gestured to Scott to please continue.


    "Originally, they wanted to change the name to Chaos Studios, but because they have the same name as another company in New York, they now chose another name and plan to call it Blizzard."


    "Blizzard?" Ryan raised his head and looked at the ceiling. There seemed to be no pie in the sky. "Can you fight it?"


    Although Ryan''s request was a bit strange, Scott said word by word, "b-l-i-z-z-a-r-d,!"


    "I agreed."


    Whether it is Ryan or not is still not 100% sure, but this is enough, "Tell Alan Adhan, I can authorize them to use the entire series of stories."


    It is worthy of being the man who ran a billionaire for that sharp-toothed little guy in his previous life! Ryan admired his investment manager a bit.


    This is very likely to be the Blizzard studio in the previous life, but the other party has managed his and Nicole¡¯s investments in good order over the past few years, and the assets under their names have doubled several times.


    After sending Scott away, Ryan greeted George and drove to Pixar, where he made a short clip of "Toy Story" and wanted him to go over and watch it.


    Although Ryan has been there a limited number of times since he bought Pixar, his abundant capital investment quickly won the support of these idealists.


    Sometimes, a lot of problems are money problems.


    "We bought the entire building, recruited a group of employees, and the latest computers are in place." Ed Kamel is introducing the current situation of the studio, "We have improved the hardware and used dual CPUs. ..."


    A lot of technical terms popped out of the other party, and Ryan listened attentively. Anyway, this is his most important industry. Even if he didn''t plan to intervene, he would try to understand what he should know.


    After Ryan''s funds were put in place, the studio has a scale of nearly a hundred people. Although it is still messy before, everyone''s faces are full of passion and enthusiasm.


    Throughout the office area, you can see drawings of "Toy Story" characters everywhere, and even in the lobby when he came, Ryan also saw a group of programmers with wooden boards tied to their feet, simulating the image of some toys, seeming to be looking for inspiration.


    "It''s been a long time, John."


    Ryan greeted John Lasseter. This guy was yelling with another employee, and when he heard it, he turned around and said, "Ryan, you are finally here!"


    "Hurry up!"


    John Lasseter greeted the employees at hand loudly, "Prepare the demo clips, and our investors are here to check and accept the results!"


    "Don''t mind, Ryan." Ed Kamel was a little embarrassed.


    "It''s okay, Ed."


    Ryan waved his hand, as long as the other party can create enough benefits, what''s the deal?


    In the huge display. What was released were clips of several major roles such as Cowdy Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Not only short. Even the background is not rendered.


    With his arms folded, Ryan, like everyone else, stood opposite the monitor, looking extremely seriously. It was not until the end of the playback that he dragged his chin with one hand, as if lost in thought.


    The others didn''t say a word, and waited quietly for Ryan''s ruling.


    "John!" Ryan finally said, "Can you give me an exact timetable for completion?"


    "This one¡­¡­"


    The other party seemed a little embarrassed. Ryan thought for a while and continued to ask, "The movie will be released before 1996. Can you do it?"


    "Of course!" John Lasseter had confidence.


    "Okay. There is no problem with the image of the character, and the rest is up to you." Ryan learned the way Steve Jobs preached, "I''m waiting for the first fully computer animation to be born in Pixar!"


    Despite his young age, Ryan''s attitude of fully supporting computer animation has undoubtedly won the support of quite a few people.


    "John. We have a good boss."


    Looking at the back of Ryan leaving, Andrew Stanton said with emotion.


    "Still a boss who has money and supports computer animation."


    John Lasseter clapped his hands and shouted to the people who were still onlookers, "Well, work quickly, you have to be worthy of every salary you get!"


    Others don¡¯t know, but Andrew Stanton knows that as the person in charge of "Toy Story", John Lasseter is under great pressure. After Ryan Jenkins bought Pixar, he invested heavily in supporting their creation. If the film fails , These people really have no face to continue to mix in the IT industry.


    "In addition to "Toy Story", we are still doing some design for other companies." As he walked outside the studio, Ed Kamel introduced the recent business to Ryan, "Paramount came to us and thought To remake their movie titles."


    Ryan nodded slightly. Although Pixar''s losses this year will reach a new high, these businesses can always bring in some income.


    "Ryan, there is also a Disney contract." Ed Kamel reminded.


    "I remember." Ryan made a relieved gesture to him, "I will solve it soon."


    "That''s good."


    It''s the last choice to get rid of the skin.


    How could Ryan forget about the contract, it was the sword of Damocles hanging around Pixar''s neck... No, it should be the kiss of a vampire that draws flesh and blood.


    He has been waiting for the release of "The Lion King". When the hand-drawn animation achieved unprecedented brilliant results, the contract in Michael Eisner''s eyes is probably not as good as it is.


    And I talked with Ed Kamel about other things It was not until the sun was about to set that Ryan left Richmond.


    The car had just entered the intercontinental highway, Ryan''s mobile phone rang, but when it was connected, it was Cate Blanchett.


    "Ryan, thank you, I got that role."


    Recently, she and Nicole have been fighting fiercely, which can be regarded as very good girlfriends.


    "You''re welcome, Kate!"


    Ryan''s words did play an important role in this, but if her own acting skills are not strong or there is a problem with her image, 20th Century Fox will not give her this role either.


    "Originally, I wanted to go to the door to thank you, and I called to know you were not at home."


    "We don''t need to see each other like this, you are Nicole''s friend." Thanks or something, Ryan didn''t care much.


    "Well, when Nicole returns from Europe, I will treat you." ()

 Chapter 185： Nicoles secret

    After hanging up Cate Blanchett''s phone, Ryan was enjoying the night view of California through the car window. Before the car entered the Beverly Hills boundary, his mobile phone rang again, but it was a phone from home.


    "Hello, Lisa, what happened?" The housekeeper called.


    "There is a lady in the living room. She said she is Nicole''s friend and she is from Australia."


    "Did you not tell her that Nicole went to Europe?" Ryan was a little strange, Nicole didn''t have many friends, and Lisa knew all of them.


    "I said, but she neither left nor said the purpose of coming here." Lisa said with a touch of helplessness in her words, "She said it''s okay to see you."


    "Then... okay." Ryan completely took his gaze back from the window, "I will be in Beverly Hills soon, let her wait a moment."


    Can''t let Lisa drive people out? Ryan closed his mobile phone and shook his head slightly, but there were paparazzi outside the house for a long time...


    Who the **** is it? From Australia? Didn¡¯t you hear Nicole mention that she has other friends in Australia?


    As the car drove into the garage, Ryan went straight into the living room of the villa and found Lisa sitting on the sofa, chatting with a blonde woman over coffee.


    The blonde woman Ryan knew it. It was the female classmate Nicole she met when she was on vacation with Nicole in Australia.


    "Hello, Ryan, remember me?" The opponent stood up and stretched out his hand to him.


    "Of course, you are Nicole''s classmate." Ryan shook lightly, motioning her to be polite.


    What is her name? After sitting on the sofa, Ryan found that he couldn''t remember her name. This was normal. Although his head was much better than ordinary people, he would not deliberately remember the names of people who had only met once.


    "When did you come to Los Angeles? Why didn''t you inform Nicole?"


    Seeing that the other party didn''t mean to introduce herself, Ryan simply ignored her name and said casually.


    "I came here at the beginning of the year." She held the coffee cup and turned it slowly in her hand. Doesn''t seem to know how to speak.


    Ryan looked at her calmly. Although the blonde woman was very beautiful, her expression was haggard, and her pale blue eyes were clearly marked with anxiety. She looked like the actresses who were running into Hollywood. It makes no difference.


    It wasn''t until Lisa''s figure disappeared completely and only the two of them were left in the living room that the other person spoke again, "I lost Nicole''s contact information. You can only find out your address after asking someone in the circle... "


    After listening to her, Ryan gradually understood. This is just another one who came to Hollywood to find a dream. But it''s a **** story.


    She did not follow Nicole''s advice at the time. Before he made any fame in Australia, he traveled across the ocean to Los Angeles, hoping to become famous overnight.


    However, reality and dreams are like Sydney and Los Angeles. Across the distance of more than half of the Pacific Ocean, although she has been insisting, for more than half a year, except for a few influential roles, there has been no progress in her career.


    Like most Westerners, she didn''t have much savings, she couldn''t make ends meet for a long time, unable to pay the rent of the apartment, and moved into the motel temporarily. He is often harassed by some hippies, and even his own safety is about to become a problem.


    In desperation, this came to ask for help.


    Even though she was very vague, Ryan had analyzed the general meaning.


    There are many Hollywood and Australian movie stars, and most of them have made fame in Australia. Some works entered the North American market before they came to Hollywood to develop. Even if there are people who rise from the bottom occasionally, they are rare, and any circle has its xenophobia.


    You know, there are many women from all over the world looking for actor dreams. After wasting years, they can only stand on the side of the street for their livelihood.


    "Well, wait a moment, I''ll call Nicole."


    Strictly speaking, this is Nicole''s private matter, and she has to make up her mind how to deal with it.


    Ryan walked out of the living room, entered another reception room, dialed Nicole''s contact number in Europe, and soon a familiar voice came from the other side.


    "Hi, Ryan, is there something to call this time?"


    "That''s it, Nicole, your female classmate..." Ryan realized that he still didn''t know the other party''s name, so he had to say, "It''s the one I met at Anne''s house..."


    He explained it quickly and incomparably in simple language, and then quietly waited for Nicole''s decision.


    "She and I once had a relationship. The apartment in Ximu District has been empty all the time... The key is in the cabinet of my room, you can find it yourself."


    Now that Nicole said so, Ryan would naturally not object, and pulled the phone off. He went directly to the second floor, entered Nicole''s room, walked to the side of the big bed, and opened the white cabinet.


    The contents inside are very messy, not at all like Nicole¡¯s style of keeping tidy, but the set of keys is placed on the top floor. Ryan found it at a glance. After taking it, he just wanted to close the cabinet and leave, but was caught The bright silver flat metal box attracted attention.


    Seems to have seen this box? Ryan quickly recalled. Wasn''t this the box that happened to be the box when he came to Nicole to sign the check one night?


    This is a cigarette pack? Have you never seen Nicole smoking?


    Throwing the key aside, Ryan drew out the metal cigarette box. With a light press of his finger, the box was opened. There were five or six cigarettes inside. Unlike regular round cigarettes, they were crooked and twisted, obviously hand-rolled. , With a bit of Nicole''s clumsy style when doing fine work.


    Pulling out one of them, Ryan put it in front of his nose and sniffed it lightly. Even though he was not a smoker in his previous life and this life, he has always smoked second-hand smoke, which is not the smell of tobacco at all.


    Ryan frowned, and Ryan quickly opened one, completely letting go of his holding heart.


    This thing is too common in North America. Not to mention adults, more than 80% of middle school students have smoked it. Nicole is a typical Westerner who has lived well since childhood. It''s normal to have this kind of thing.


    Is this Nicole''s secret?


    Ryan was not interested in this thing. His slender fingers flexibly restored the opened one, and put the box back into the cabinet. He said to his heart, do you want to remind Nicole to quit this thing completely? Up?


    Shaking her head, Ryan gave up this plan. Nicole is not an improper person. What should be done and what should not be done, she is as sober as herself.


    After closing the door, Ryan went downstairs and returned to the living room, where the blonde woman was sitting a little nervously, seemingly anxious.


    "sorry for keeping you waiting."


    Ryan said hello to her, took the pen and paper to write the address, and handed it over with the key, "Nicole has an apartment in Westwood District. The address and Nicole¡¯s contact information are on it. You live there temporarily. Right."


    "thank you all."


    There should be really no way, the other party is not polite.


    "By the way, the smaller bedroom in the apartment used to be my room. There are a lot of things in it. Please pay attention to it." Ryan reminded him of his miscellaneous things.


    "I will pay attention."


    Seeing the blond woman driving away in a used car, Ryan suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask her name again.


    This can''t blame me! Ryan found a reason for himself. Blame the cigarette case. Who made it distract me?


    Maybe this is the way Nicole used to relieve great stress? Ryan unconsciously made an excuse for Nicole, and the facts were similar to what he had imagined.


    Back to his room, sitting at the desk, Ryan gently twitched his knuckles, and visited three invitations in front of him. These are the official invitations for the premiere of the three movies, namely "The Lion King" and "Sugar Coated Trap". And "Schindler''s List"!


    "The Lion King" will be released on the eve of Thanksgiving, "Sugar Coated Trap" will probably be later, "Schindler''s List" is the latest, and its goal is Oscar.


    Despite the great help of the National Jewish Association, the number of theaters this film can win is still not ideal. This is the rule of the market.


    "The Lion King" is the focus of the Thanksgiving Christmas file. Disney''s cartoons were originally a guarantee of quality. Now that Ryan''s name is added, it is naturally favored by most people at the box office, even Disney itself. Ambitious, intends to compete with the box office record set by "Jurassic Park".


    As for "Sugar Coated Trap", its novel version has also topped the North American bestseller list, has a lot of fans, and it also reflects a very prominent problem in the United States. The conflict between law and professional ethics is sure to attract people''s attention.


    This movie Ryan did not copy the version of the previous life. He compressed the plot and made the rhythm more compact, but retained the ending of the previous life on the other side of the website.


    After all, there are very different ways of thinking between the East and the West. It is one of the rules advertised in Western society to abide by the professional code at all times. For a profession that requires reputation, the professional code is often above the law.


    Thinking of this movie, Ryan couldn''t help but think of Nicole again. She went to Europe to participate in a series of Chanel commercial activities, probably staying there for a long time.


    Although the real star of "Jurassic Park" is the dinosaur, but with the terrifying box office numbers, several of the main actors have also benefited a lot. Nicole''s career has gone further and her appeal in commercial films has increased. The stronger, he stabilized Julia Roberts, who was constantly regaining her popularity.


    In the performance contract of "Batman Forever" signed with Warner, her salary was as high as 15 million U.S. dollars, and it was only a matter of time before she entered the 20 million club.


    Like most first-line actresses in Hollywood, Nicole''s income in advertising endorsements far exceeds income in terms of remuneration. Her beautiful appearance and keen sense of fashion have long become the darling of businesses. ()

 Chapter 186： The lion king

    In the pouring rain, Simba resolutely walked to the forefront of the Glory Stone, stood upright, and let out a majestic roar, announcing that the Glory Nation has been reborn. The desolate land is full of vitality in the rain, and everything is revived. Started to grow.


    Accompanied by wild singing, the animals once again gathered on the cliff of the Glory Stone. In front of them were the Lion King Simba and Queen Nana. The old baboon La Feiqi walked to the cliff again and lifted a new one. Curious life!


    The singing of "Love Tonight" fell. After waiting for a while, Ryan put on his hat and sunglasses, dressed neatly one by one, and said to Taylor in the box, "My dear, we should go."


    "No!" The little girl was holding Simba and Nana''s dolls, "I want to see it again!"


    "We should go home, and we will have a turkey meal later." Ryan persuaded patiently.


    "Where is Nicole?" Taylor''s mouth pursed, "I haven''t seen Nicole for a long time, I want to play with her, I won''t play with you..."


    "Nicole is in Europe!" Ryan stretched out his hands, this little guy is really typical of crossing the river and breaking the bridge.


    Today is Thanksgiving and Nicole is still in Europe. The Scott family simply called Ryan over to celebrate Thanksgiving together. Tyler insisted on calling him to watch "The Lion King" with an unprecedented attitude.


    Who knows, just after reading this, the little guy started to make a face again.


    "I don''t want it!" She grabbed the arm of the chair hard.


    Ryan knew that she must never have a good face at this time, put her smile away, picked her up and left. The little girl''s sapphire blue eyes stared at him closely. With a flat mouth, the golden beans will roll down at any time.


    "Alison!" Ryan said very seriously, "If the tears fall, I will never take you out to play again, I promise!"


    With the cleverness of this little guy, he can definitely tell whether Ryan is joking or not.


    "Huh~ Nat is right, you are a bad guy!"


    Baolan''s eyes disappeared, and the little girl turned her head. It looks like I don''t want to care about you.


    Holding Taylor is undoubtedly the best cover, and quietly out of the movie theater, Ryan led her into the car of Swift''s house quickly and made a start gesture to the driver.


    "Is the movie good, Taylor?" Ryan tied her seat belt and rubbed the girl''s blonde hair again.


    "I just ignored you..." She turned her head and looked outside the car.


    Shook his head. Ryan stopped paying attention to the awkward little guy, found the pile of newspapers he bought when he came, and looked through it.


    "The Lion King" was the premiere held last night. Of course he attended, and was blocked by the group of reporters at the press conference, and suffered a lot of bombardment.


    As the highlight of Disney''s launch this year. It is also Ryan''s latest masterpiece, and film critics will naturally not let go of the opportunity to comment on the opportunity to gain eyeballs and money.


    "This is a movie that can influence people''s growth! It tells a story about life, love and responsibility!"


    "The plot of "The Lion King" is very old-fashioned. It is more old-fashioned than Ryan''s previous works, but it is not attractive! In the film, Simba has experienced a struggle of the soul. In the end, in the struggle, he recovered his responsibility. . I found what I most want to do in my heart."


    "Just like in our lives, there are certain things that you can choose to do or not to do. If you do it, you may not be successful, but if you don''t do it, there will be no chance..."


    The review was very exciting, and it did catch the theme of "The Lion King". Ryan quickly scanned it and replaced it with the "San Francisco Chronicle."


    "This is the animal version of the Prince''s Revenge of Walt Disney and Ryan Jenkins!"


    The film reviews on it are as concise and clear as before.


    "The best thing about "The Lion King" lies in the values ??it embodies! You should not regret and avoid mistakes. Everyone has their own responsibilities! There is a line in the film that deserves everyone''s recollection and reflection. ¡ª¡ªBe brave only when you need to be brave!"


    "This is a movie that best reflects our mainstream values. It is as accurate as a weathervane. Parents across the United States should bring their children to watch this movie in the theater."


    Having lived in North America for so many years, Ryan knows very well how he should go. It is the right way to stay close to mainstream values. This is the main reason why he never had the idea of ??playing those cult movies after he was reborn.


    What Ryan didn''t expect was that several women''s organizations attacked him in the newspaper.


    "The Lion King embodies the patriarchal spirit, emphasizing that only under the strict authority of the father, can life be harmonious and in its place! It completely ignores the key role of matriarchy in it, and it must be said that this is an extremely bad one. Thinking, Ryan should show more of the important status of women that cannot be ignored in his works!"


    Reading the name of the newspaper, Ryan vaguely remembered that after the release of "Jurassic Park", the newspaper also praised the feminist ideas in his works.


    "Get off! Get off!"


    Taylor kept patting the seat, and Ryan had to put down the newspaper and help her unfasten the seat belt.


    "Hey, little guys, are you having fun?" Mrs. Andrea was already greeted by just getting out of the car.


    "The movie is great! Ryan hates it!"


    The little girl dropped a word and rushed into the villa without looking back.


    "Did something happen, Ryan?" How could Madame Andrea not know her daughter and couldn''t help laughing.


    Ryan opened his hands, made a gesture that you understood, and smiled and walked into the living room.


    "Ryan!"


    Scott beckoned to him, Ryan walked over and sat across from him, "Has the power of attorney for Blizzard been given to you?"


    "Got it!" He nodded and said again, "Ryan, the game studio will make about $800,000 in profit this year. Allen wants to invest all of this money in the development of new games."


    "no problem."


    "Warcraft" is a long-term credit card without repayment, Ryan will naturally agree.


    As night fell, the Thanksgiving dinner kicked off. Before entering the Swift¡¯s restaurant, Ryan hung up with Nicole, who was far away in Europe. She was still busy socializing, and the two just said something. Just a few words.


    An indispensable dish for Thanksgiving is turkey. The fragrant roasted turkey is mouth watering, and the dishes that match each other have their own characteristics. Although a vengeful little guy has his eyes from time to time, it does not prevent Ryan from enjoying it. Good food.


    "This chicken leg belongs to me! Don''t give it to Ryan!"


    Reluctantly, Mrs. Andrea took a communal knife and fork and aimed at another turkey leg.


    "That one is Austin''s!" In the scream, the drumstick fell in front of the little boy who was less than two years old.


    "My dear, Ryan is a guest."


    "Is he a guest? When I went to Nicole''s house, he never treated me as a guest!"


    A dinner ended in such a mess and playful laughter. After staying for a while, Ryan left and went home.


    "Ryan, remember to come and watch "The Lion King" with me tomorrow!"


    Just about to walk out of the villa, a sharp-toothed voice came from behind. Ryan turned a deaf ear and strode towards the car. The voice behind continued, "If you don''t come, I will tell Nicole, you bully me !"


    The Swifts just smiled at each other. They knew their daughter very well. This was a way for her to express closeness.


    After the release of "The Lion King", Disney did not weaken its promotional efforts. Related advertisements can be seen everywhere. This kind of movie is a type of killing all ages. Even if some adults may not like it very much, even if it is to take care of children, they will walk in together cinema.


    However, what disappointed Disney executives was that after the first week, "The Lion King" could not shake the box office record set by "Jurassic Park" in the first week.


    To be precise, the North American box office figure of $58.55 million in four days is far from the record.


    However, Disney¡¯s traditional animated films have always been known for their long-lasting stability. There are blockbuster voices in the media. Although the peripheral products are not as popular as "Jurassic Park", they are also sold at great prices.


    After the second full week, the drop in the North American box office was almost negligible, winning close to 54 million U.S. dollars, and Ryan has another work, and the North American box office exceeded 100 million in two weeks!


    Because the family affection, responsibility and other content shown in the movie are so in line with the values ??of the mainstream society, the major mainstream media have almost lifted this animated movie to the sky, and the praise far exceeds "Jurassic Park".


    "The Lion King is the pinnacle of 2d animation!"


    This is the subject of a commentary in a prominent position in the new issue of Vanity Fair.


    "There is no longer an animation as stunning as "The Lion King". This is the pinnacle of an animated film since its birth. Even in the past two decades, it will still be a classic! It uses the magnificent and realistic African savannah as its scene. Among them are the vividly portrayed animal images like human beings, as well as the epic story background..."


    "Disney once again demonstrated their unshakable king status in 2d hand-drawn animation. Hand-drawn animation will continue to be brilliant..."


    This report is almost a hymn to Disney The hand-painted animation studio has been praised as being only in the sky and nothing on the ground. The article has been used by many newspapers and magazines thanks to the hot momentum of "The Lion King". Reprinted.


    In a hymn and big box office, "The Lion King" is like Simba among them, gradually reaching the highest peak of animated movies.


    At this time, with Ryan''s advice, Ed Kamel, on behalf of Pixar Studios, sent a formal letter to Disney requesting the cancellation of the agreement on the distribution of 3D computer animation films between the two parties. Disney''s senior executives discussed at regular meetings. Later, the contract was officially cancelled.


    This also means that Ryan and Disney will drift away.


    "Tina, happy cooperation!" This is a call from Ryan to Tina Brown.


    "Ryan, we have always enjoyed working together."


    There is no real content between the two, but Tina Brown smiled happily. This year, the sales of Vanity Fair magazine has reached a new level, and all kinds of advertising expenses are full of money. (To be continued.

 Chapter 187： Plagiarism

    In the overseas promotion of "The Lion King", Disney has done more quickly. Two weeks after the film was released in North America, it began to enter the most important overseas markets. Western Europe on the other side of the Atlantic and Japan and South Korea in the Far East were all released on a large scale. , Almost exactly the same as the original "Jurassic Park", have swept the film rankings of various countries and swept away hundreds of millions of box offices.


    The media from all over the world have praised this film. After all, this is only an animated film for all ages. Too harsh will only attract a laugh.


    Unexpectedly, the voice of doubt and challenge appeared in Japan.


    "The Lion King, shameful plagiarism!"


    This is the news published on the entertainment headline of the "Asahi Shimbun".


    "Just last night, after watching the latest animated film "The Lion King", I suddenly discovered that it is so similar to the "Forest King" written by Chinese animation master Osamu Tezuka. It is about a little lion after going through hardships and dangers. , The story of becoming a king, the male lion, female lion, lion cub, baboon and other roles have obvious overlaps. After reviewing the information, the author found that there are many similar plots between the two sides, and the "Forest King" has long been It was born in 1965. It is obvious that the writer of "The Lion King" copied our "Forest King". This is an extremely shameful behavior..."


    Next, it is naturally to tout "Forest King" and dismissive of "The Lion King".


    The news soon reached North America, and Ryan instantly became the focus of the media.


    Plagiarized? Of course plagiarism! This is what Ryan thought after learning about it, but plagiarism has nothing to do with the Japanese. What he plagiarized was only the image of "The Lion King" left in his mind from a previous life.


    However, the Japanese blatantly issued a questioning battle post. Of course, he would respond, and he would also draw a bunch of alliances to compete with them.


    "Ryan, what do you think of Japanese plagiarism?" Ryan walked out of Disney. Was stopped by reporters.


    "The Lion King is indeed plagiarized!"


    Ryan generously admitted that all reporters were shocked and opened their mouths. This teenager is becoming one of the representatives of American and Hollywood culture. Does such plagiarism make the entire North American entertainment circle a fool together?


    "I copied Shakespeare''s "Prince''s Revenge". I think everyone already knew this, didn''t they?" Ryan opened his hands innocently.


    "Yes!" The reporters echoed one after another. Apart from animal images, "The Lion King" has at least 60% of Hamlet''s shadow.


    ""Forest King" appeared earlier than "The Lion King", but "Prince''s Revenge" appeared earlier. According to the Japanese logic, does "Forest King" also plagiarize "Prince''s Revenge"?" Rui Eun is obviously running a train, "I want to ask you, are the Japanese words credible? Don''t forget Pearl Harbor!"


    "Also, I don¡¯t copy the classics of Shakespeare, but copy Japanese works. Do you think it is necessary? I want to come to Japan because they think their works are more classic and famous than Shakespeare!" Ryan said very seriously, "Frankly speaking. I am using this way to pay tribute to the great Shakespeare!"


    Since "The Lion King" is the animal version of "Prince''s Revenge", how can the Kingdom of Great Britain stay out of the matter?


    I''m not a map gun, am I? It certainly doesn''t count! Ryan thinks he is still a very conscientious person.


    His personal response from the client was regarded as providing enough guns and ammunition for North American media reporters, and a carefully concocted article was thrown out. Without exception, they all stood on Ryan''s side.


    This couldn''t be more normal, even in an open country like the United States, there still exists xenophobia and geographical protection, and Ryan is almost the star they hold out. It doesn''t matter how the children of their own family teach themselves, if an outsider makes a move, it will be regrettable.


    Besides, sales can only be achieved when there is hype and news.


    "I heard the criticism from Japanese colleagues on "The Lion King". I specially found "The Forest King" and browsed many episodes overnight, and found that the plagiarism was obviously fictional. "The Lion King" was adapted from Shakespeare''s "Hamlet". The main plot closely follows the theme of the prince¡¯s revenge, supplemented by elements such as responsibility and family affection. "The Forest King" mainly describes the struggle and cooperation between animals and humans. The two films are completely different in themes..."


    The large-scale media are making reasonable and well-founded analysis. The reason is simple. If you are on the move, tabloids are naturally in front of you.


    "Just like Ryan said before the movie was released, the idea of ??"The Lion King" came from "Prince''s Revenge", and has nothing to do with the animation mentioned by the Japanese that most Americans don''t even know the name. I would like to ask my Japanese colleagues, have you seen Shakespeare? Can you understand Shakespeare? Or do you think that Japanese culture can penetrate into North America and influence Hollywood? In front of the great Shakespeare, your works are not worthwhile. Mention..."


    This is considered more polite in the tabloids, and there are more radical clamors.


    "Does Ryan need to plagiarize? He has appeared in the public eye for almost four years. During this period, many classic works have been published. They are popular in North America and the whole world. Are you Japanese really fools in the United States? A teenager who is deceiving? I remember that Ryan once wrote a humorous story on Vanity Fair, in which one sentence is perfect to describe his Japanese counterparts-the way fools deal with smart people is to treat smart people Lower the IQ to the same level and use the most stupid method to defeat them-the Japanese are obviously using this trick to deal with the high IQ Ryan and against us, the United States!"


    "What is "Forest King", I don''t think we need to watch it at all. When have the Japanese words been reliable? Don''t forget Pearl Harbor..."


    "Japanese culture, in the United States, in the entire Western world can only be regarded as the last, with Ryan''s position in Hollywood, do you need to copy the last culture?"


    The tabloids are gearing up to prepare for a duel with their counterparts on the other side of the Pacific. Since Ryan Jenkins gave them a sufficient reason in his response, he must make full use of it to attract the eyes of the United States and even the world.


    Hmm... By the way, newspapers are selling big, and bonuses and benefits are in my pocket.


    Of course, as long as the media present at the time were in prominent positions, Ryan''s response was published, especially his remarks, full of respect for Shakespeare and his works, and immediately won the favor of the British media.


    Besides, Ryan lived in London for two years during the critical period of his growth, and the Harry Potter series is out-and-out British literature, which is his own person in the eyes of the British media.


    "The Japanese look down on Shakespeare..."


    "Ask your Japanese colleagues to find someone who can compare with Shakespeare in your history..."


    "The Japanese lack the most basic respect for the Kingdom of Great Britain..."


    "The Japanese are synonymous with treachery. Don''t forget what they did to us fifty years ago..."


    Fleet Street has no lower limit. They hope that there will be a hot topic every day to hype, how can they let this opportunity pass.


    North American reporters are eager to fight with the other side of the Atlantic, ready to compete with the Japanese.


    British journalists stared at him, and only waited for the Japanese to counterattack, they would ridicule the Japanese like Uncle Sam.


    However, the second day passed, and the third day passed. The media in the Far East were silent. Since the report of the first day, no questioning article has been published.


    What''s this?


    After receiving the interview, Ryan asked George to order a copy of all the newspapers available on the market, preparing to watch a wonderful battle of saliva.


    The media in my father¡¯s country teaches colleagues in my son¡¯s country. It¡¯s very interesting, isn¡¯t it?


    The final winner of such a war of words is definitely Lao Tzu, not his son. For him, there is not much loss. Instead, he can use the hype to make his name louder.


    Besides, he asked Lawyer Wilson to send a lawyer''s letter immediately, asking the other party to apologize, otherwise there will definitely be a transnational lawsuit.


    What Ryan didn¡¯t know was that as soon as the report appeared, Walt Disney and Bowei Pictures sent sternly worded lawyer letters. Perhaps the Asahi Shimbun was very confident when facing a Hollywood star, but this This kind of remarks that may trigger a war between giants will naturally be handled with caution.


    What''s more, when the Japanese face Americans, they are naturally short.


    After the third day, the "Asahi Shimbun" fired the editor and the reporter who wrote the article, and issued a public apology. The media on both sides of the Atlantic suddenly sighed. They did not expect that they would jump up and down, and they would ridicule and fire map guns. , The Japanese turned out to be a tortoise.


    If the opponent is not strong, the saliva will naturally fail. This time the storm has risen quickly, but it dissipated more quickly.


    Ryan couldn''t help being quite boring. The bench, peanuts, and soda were all ready, but it was all lost.


    Is this the difference between a dog and an owner? This incident also made him feel a little bit more As for whether Disney¡¯s "Lion King" copied "Forest King" in the previous life, then regardless of his business, Ryan does not have that American time. Read "Forest King" again.


    In fact, he still has the impression of this animation, vaguely remembering that he had watched it in his previous life. The protagonist seems to be a white lion, but the specific plot is completely forgotten.


    This incident brought another benefit. A few days later, Pa Jinsli called and said that a Japanese game club wanted to buy the rights to the game adaptation of "Resident Evil" and develop it into a terminal game.


    "Pat, let the team talk to the Japanese slowly. Nicole and I are relatively short of money recently, you know!"


    Lack of money is impossible. Disney has already credited Ryan¡¯s first share of the "Lion King". "Jurassic Park" has not yet been sold in many overseas regions. Sales around it are still hot. Continuously generate profits. (To be continued...)


    ps: Thanks Liu Ningye. The wandering cuckoo. Tucked away in the evening. Dark clouds step on the snow. . Thank you, Liulifeng and other friends for your rewards! ()

 Chapter 188： Jewish

    In mid-December, "Sugar Coated Trap" jointly produced by Miramax and Jenkins Pictures landed in North America. The first week''s box office of more than $30 million was enough to squeeze out "The Lion King" and make it onto the North American weekly box office rankings. champion.


    At the same time, Walt Disney held a press conference to officially announce the acquisition of Miramax, the ambitious Michael? Eisner has taken steps to expand.


    After the early stages of "The Lion King" were accounted for, Ryan carried out a series of actions. Under his instruction, sent? Jinsili ** bought or sold between various film companies and the copyright owners of certain books, with small gains.


    Asked the original author Annie? After Rice agreed, Ryan resold the film adaptation rights of "Interview with the Vampire" to Warner Bros. Pictures. Of course, Tom? Cruise starred in the terms of any corner se.


    At the same time, from Sol? Saaz obtained the film copyright of "Lord of the Rings", and after negotiation, he bought the distribution rights of "The Adventures of The Hobbit" from MGM-United American Entertainment.


    Ryan also personally contacted Hasbro, the toy manufacturer of "Jurassic Park", and successfully bought the film adaptation rights of "Transformers" and "Special Forces".


    In addition, he has to fulfill the contract with Paramount. The film copyright of "Forrest Gump" has long been acquired by Ryan. This is also one of the scripts that he started writing at the beginning of this year. Filmed with Paramount.


    After Pixar Studios terminated the distribution contract with Walt Disney, they signed a new distribution contract with Paramount Pictures. Paramount will use a 10% rake to release three animation directors for Pixar in the future. sheet.


    As for the written "Game of the Brave", it was handed over to Touchstone Pictures to be co-produced. After all, Disney is the best film production company for all ages.


    Of course, it is full of suggestions about actors to directors, such as let Tom? Hanks starred in Forrest, let Chris? Columbus is in charge of the guide tube of "Game of the Brave" and so on.


    Ryan still holds the film copyrights of "Men in Black" and "Mission Impossible". There is no need to worry about these. The former is okay, and the latter is always looking for a suitable Ethan? Hante¡¯s candidate.


    Soon, Ryan threw it all behind his head, because the premiere of "Schindler''s List" arrived.


    Universal Pictures and Stephen? Spielberg pressed the film to this time period, with a very clear goal, pointing to the year''s Oscars.


    Black Se¡¯s Bentley stopped on the edge of the red carpet. Ryan was sitting next to Nicole, but an elderly Jewish woman. It was Ms. Katie, the former director of the orphanage, as a member of the National Jewish Association. Veteran, she was also invited.


    "Auntie Katie, we are here." Ryan carefully helped the old lady out of the car.


    "You did a great job, Ryan!" The old lady Katie nodded, obviously there was something in the words.


    "It should be, isn''t it?"


    Ryan smiled, ignoring the reporter, but beckoned to the fans on both sides of the red carpet, and helped the old man strode towards the theater.


    "Where is Miss Kidman?"


    "She has friends with her, so she should go in." Ryan replied.


    Entering the theater hall, Ryan kept greeting people he knew, and sighed in his heart that if anti-Semites threw a bomb in the hall, a considerable number of Jewish celebrities in the United States would probably disappear.


    Looking around here, you can see Jews or Jewish figures everywhere, many of which have nothing to do with the entertainment industry.


    "Hello, Mr. Stanley..."


    "Hello, Mr. Haimer..."


    "Thank you, Mr. Hassali..."


    "This is what I should do, Mr. Solomon..."


    Greeting politely and greet people has become the thing Ryan did the most tonight. Under the introduction of Mrs. Katie, he met old people one after another.


    These people have one thing in common, important members of the National Jewish Association, maybe they don''t have much weight alone, but when they are united, the energy that can burst out, the federal zhengfu must be looked at.


    "Ryan, we heard Stephen say that you reminded him not to go to the concentration camp to film, so as not to disturb the resting souls, all of us should say thank you!" said an old Jewish man, "we have many people experienced After those dark years, some family members rested there."


    "Little guy, you did a great job!" Someone praised.


    "If there is any trouble that can''t be solved, you can let us know." Many people left private business cards.


    "This is my responsibility, this is what I should do!"


    Ryan was constantly humble in his mouth, and his heart was already happy. Although there was a relationship with Aunt Katie, his actions clearly made these people regard him as his own.


    "Ryan, we have actually watched the sample, and Stephen did a great job!"


    After leaving the group of old people, Mrs. Katie suddenly changed the subject, "How about your Jewish kid, why didn''t you see her?"


    "Natalie?" Ryan scratched her head. "She has to go to school."


    "Well, you go to Miss Kidman, I''ll talk to an old friend." Mrs. Katie beckoned to the distance, and the nanny who had been following far behind came over, "Goodbye, Ryan."


    "Goodbye, Aunt Katie!"


    It wasn''t until the two figures disappeared from the crowd that Ryan turned and walked towards Nicole. The Australian girl was already outstanding in height, but she stood out from the crowd when she stepped on the height of hatred.


    "Hello?" Nicole was actually watching him all the time.


    "Hmm~"


    Ryan responded, took the soda in her hand and moistened her somewhat dry throat, "I''m thirsty."


    "I''ll get you juice.


    Just as Nicole was about to leave, she was stopped by Ryan, "No, I can drink soda."


    "Honey, this is what I drank." Nicole reminded in a low voice.


    "Does it matter?" Ryan pretended to be confused and drank the rest. Before Nicole''s face turned black, he quickly changed the subject, "How does the routine board meeting of Paramount Pictures feel?"


    "I sit there like a vase!" Nicole smiled self-deprecatingly.


    Ryan woke up and asked a silly question. Like other film companies, Paramount''s main power is concentrated in Shirley? In the hands of Lansing and several executive directors.


    "Ron? Meyer is here!" Nicole reminded.


    Ryan turned his head, just to see Ron? Meyer walked over with a face full of wind.


    "Jurassic Park" was very profitable, and "Schindler''s List" was praised by film critics during the screening. He took the position of Universal Pictures again. It is strange to be unhappy.


    "Ryan, you have grown taller again!"


    A simple greeting, Ron? Meyer looked at Nicole again, "Miss Kidman, you are getting more and more beautiful!"


    "Thank you!" Nicole smiled brilliantly. There is nothing like this that can make a woman happy.


    "Ron, did you come here to praise Nicole?" Ryan teased.


    "Well, Ryan, are you interested in continuing to cooperate?" Ron? Meyer took an attitude of discussing business matters, "Universal Pictures has just decided on a film project with an investment of about 100 million U.S. dollars and is currently looking for partners."


    "Can you ask the name of the movie?"


    There are only a few films with an investment of about 100 million US dollars in this era, and Ryan doesn''t want to fall into a certain pit.


    "The currently determined name is Future Water World. We plan to invite Kevin Costner to take the shot."


    Listen to Ron? Ryan blinked his eyes at Meyer''s words. This is a huge pit. This film is a silly process from script to shooting, and the final production cost is as high as 200 million US dollars.


    As for the box office, it¡¯s worth mentioning that almost all Hollywood¡¯s top ten film loss charts have this movie¡¯s name.


    "This... forget it." Ryan politely declined, "You know, I don''t have much money in my hands."


    Seeing Ron away with his eyes? Meyer, seeing that the time was almost up, Ryan took Nicole and walked into the theater.


    "Do you think that movie will fail?" Nicole asked curiously.


    "Come on, Nicole, I am not God." Ryan deliberately rolled his eyes exaggeratedly. "I don''t even know the idea of ??the movie. How can I know whether it is making money or losing money?"


    "But the media say you have magical powers." Nicole smiled happily, with pride written clearly on her face.


    "I don''t care what those people think." Ryan murmured disdainfully.


    "Then what do you care?" Nicole runs on purpose.


    "Of course it''s your opinion."


    After speaking, Ryan looked at Nicole, who was also looking at him.


    "Hey, Ryan, and Nicole, are you standing here to collect tickets?"


    Before they knew it, the two stopped, just blocking Ralph? In front of Fiennes.


    "Sorry, Ralph."


    Ryan quickly got out of the way, and at the same time joked, "You should pay ten dollars to buy the road!"


    "Can you sign the bill?" The other party replied with a smile, "Or swiping a credit card?"


    "Okay, Ryan, go find a seat quickly." Nicole dragged him and left.


    As more and more people came in, the atmosphere gradually became serious. Everyone knows what kind of heavy themes are about to be screenedespecially the gray-haired Jewish elderly, no one dares to ignore Their existence.


    "Hello, Miss Kidman!"


    The tall man next to him sat down and greeted Nicole. Is it Oscar? Schindler''s actor Liam? Nissen.


    "Hi, Liam, are there only beautiful ladies in your eyes!" Ryan took the conversation before Nicole could answer.


    "of course not!"


    Liam? Nissen beckoned here, "No one will ignore you, Ryan."


    "The movie is about to begin." Nicole pulled him slightly.


    The lights in the theater went out, and the candlelight on the big screen came on. Amidst the Jewish prayers, the candlelight burned to the end, leaving only a curl of green smoke. The picture of Caise stretched farther and farther, and finally turned into black se. And white se.


    The very plain beginning of the movie, except for the whistle of the train, is a Jewish name. (To be continued.) ()

 ~： 189 Schindlers List

    After the German army captured Poland within two weeks, the Nazis ordered Jews from all over Poland to gather in designated cities for registration, and more than 10,000 Jews came to Krakow from the countryside every day.


    The Jews in Krakow nominated 24 Jews to form a committee to help the Jews who were gathered in the city solve the problems of accommodation, meals, distribution of labor, and resolution of disputes.


    Oscar Schindler is tall, handsome, and has a suave manner. He is not only a profitable speculator, but also a member of the Nazi party.


    He understands the weaknesses of human nature, possesses superb social skills, spends money in hotels and various social occasions, generously make friends with German officials and SS leaders, and use their greed to create opportunities for himself to make a fortune.


    Schindler found a Jew named Yitzhak Steyn who had worked as an accountant in an enamel factory in Liberty, and exhausted all means to buy the poorly managed enamel factory to produce food utensils and supply military supplies. Make war fortune, and ask Steyn to be his accountant and assistant to manage the factory.


    Funds were put in place again, and the factory was renamed Emalia. In view of the SS regulations-hire Jewish skilled workers with a daily salary of 7 marks and other types of work and women workers with a daily salary of 5 marks, but all must be paid directly to the government financial department, and the Jews cannot get a penny To.


    As a result, the Jews became Schindler¡¯s natural choice, and Steyn carefully gave effective guidance to the candidates, helped his compatriots find suitable places, and secretly forged various qualifications to teachers who did not have the conditions to enter the factory. And the musicians, in order to avoid being copied on the blacklist and let the Germans push them into a truck and send them away.


    Oscar Schindler at this time is an insatiable businessman and playboy. He is not much different from other Nazis. In his eyes, the Jews are just tools that can be used to make him realize his dream of getting rich. It''s just a slave.


    Soon after, Amon Gus came to Krakow, the Jewish disaster kicked off, and he made his first appearance. He ordered his men to shoot and kill a conscientious Jewish female engineer, revealing her evil and crazy nature.


    Under the order of his superiors, he led the SS into the Jewish Quarter with a pack of wolfhounds in a military vehicle. Krakow was full of murderous spirits, and all the Jews were frightened.


    This is a tragic drama that lasts for twenty minutes. It tells the world the cruel history of Krakow¡¯s liquidation through the miserable experiences of countless Jews.


    In the **** storm, Schindler, who had returned from riding with his mistress, stopped on the hillside, and he was greatly shocked by everything in front of him, a little girl in a red coat. Staggering in the slaughterhouse. Escaped one danger after another. Finally found a hiding place for myself.


    In the black-and-white shots, the red is so vivid and shocking, like blood shed by the Jews. Oscar Schindler''s gaze followed her closely, seeming to want to see through the other''s fate.


    This shocking tragedy caused Schindler to slowly change, and sympathy was unstoppable in his heart. Since then, his treatment of Jews has changed.


    Looking at the deserted factory, Schindler was worried, and after many thoughts, he decided to go to the commander of the SS, Amon Guss, and ask him to approve the Emalia factory as a subsidiary labor camp. Resume production.


    The Nazi military officer urged that many conditions were necessary to achieve the goal, and he would take the opportunity to earn a lot of votes. Schindler naturally understood and said that as long as he helped, he would surely give a satisfactory return.


    Schindler came to Plaschoff labor camp. I took the opportunity to meet with Steyn. Steyn told him not to forget to give birthday gifts to the SS officers and their families. He must also honor the people of the Ministry of Finance and the Military Supplies Bureau on time. Must be sent on the first day of the month. In exchange for the right to be approved to open a concentration camp metal processing plant.


    In the days when the German army slaughtered the Jews, this factory became a refuge for many Jews. When Schindler celebrated his birthday, the Jewish girl in the factory took a Jewish girl with them and held their cake to wish him birthday on behalf of all the workers. Happy, Schindler also kissed them, but he didn''t expect it to cause trouble.


    The Gestapo arrested Schindler on charges of violating the mustache racial law and inadvertently kissed the Jewish girl who gave the cake. Amon Guss explained to the Gestapo chief Julius and interceded for Schindler. The problem was solved with money.


    Of course, the reason why he helped Schindler was only to squeeze more money out of the opponent''s hands.


    Soon, Amon Guss ordered that all sick Jews be wiped out. Hearing the officers said that they would take off their clothes and examine their bodies, the women broke their fingers and squeezed out blood to put blood on their faces and lips to increase the blood color. For them , This is the boundary between heaven and hell.


    In April 1944, more than 10,000 Jews were killed in the Krakow and Plaszow ghetto. However, as the war became unfavorable and the Nazis wanted to destroy the evidence of the Holocaust, Amon Gogs gave The superiors ordered the corpses to be dug up and incinerated, and the remaining Jews were transported to Auschwitz.


    Krakow was shrouded in ¡®snowflakes¡¯ in the sky, and the ashes of countless Jews were scattered all over the streets and lanes. Although it was only a black and white picture, such a shot still gave people a huge impact.


    Originally, Schindler was still dissatisfied with the ashes falling from the car, but when he came to the incinerator, he saw the red color again.


    The little girl in red was lying in the pile of corpses. Life had already left her. The bright red not only pierced Schindler¡¯s eyes, but also pierced his soul. At this moment, the transformation finally began, and a sympathizer began to move. On the road to becoming a hero.


    Seeing that the factory will be unsustainable, Schindler plans to go home, but Steyn said that he can continue to open the factory, of course, he must hire new workers. Schindler is grateful to him from the bottom of his heart. The expected accountant Steyn''s eyes slipped.


    What was suddenly awakened by the red stinging heart. Oscar Schindler took out all the money and came to Amon Guss and said that he was going to buy his workers.


    He embarked on a journey of salvation, saving not only the Jews, but also his own heart and soul.


    In the factory office, Schindler was smoking cigarettes one by one, while dictating the list to Steyn, who was typing. He finally bought Amon Guss and Julis with money, and he stayed. All the children, he saved one innocent life after another, and his list is getting longer and longer. At this time, he behaved strangely "greedy". He went to see the SS leader again and again, exhausting his tongue and money. I just want to get more places.


    Steyn was holding the long list he had made, and his hands trembled...


    This list of machines is the gateway to life, Schindler''s list!


    On the last page of the list, there was a blank space reserved for Helen Keith, the Jewish maid of Amon Guth. The murder demon certainly refused to give her to Schindler. He said he would rather take Helen Case to the woods and then shoot her in the head instead of letting anyone else.


    Faced with the high price Schindler offered, this guy retreated and compromised, and handed Helen Case to Schindler to work in the labor camp for 14,800 marks.


    After the Jews on the list go to the square to register, they will be sent to Zveta Brunlitz in the Czech Republic by train in two batches of men and women, where the munitions factory is located. Schindler told the Jewish men who arrived earlier that the women¡¯s train has left Plassau. Husband, will arrive at the arms factory soon.


    The women''s train was moving, and the carriage was full of joy, but the train drove to Auschwitz. The women were ordered to take off their clothes and bathe and disinfect them. The terrible things in the legend finally happened to them, and people were panicked.


    Anxious Schindler rushed to Auschwitz and asked the head of the concentration camp to return his workers. With a combination of hard and soft, he rescued more than 300 women and children. He also taught the German soldiers in the factory not to allow them to be casual. Shoot and kill Jewish workers in the munitions factory.


    Germany finally surrendered unconditionally. Schindler solemnly announced to all the workers in the factory that they would be able to search for their relatives from tomorrow on their own. The executioner, the soldiers walked away quietly with their heads down.


    After that, Schindler proposed to observe a three-minute silence in memory of the countless innocent people who were killed. Before leaving, Schindler told Steyn to give all the things in the factory to the workers. The workers took out the gold from their teeth and cast them into a simple ring with a verse in Hebrew engraved on it-save a person Save the world!


    The rescued Jews gave Schindler more than just a ring, UU reading also had a co-signed letter, proving what Schindler had done for them!


    In the following plot, in Ryan''s view, Spielberg had committed the same old problems and was a bit too sensational. Oscar Schindler''s monologue would have destroyed the atmosphere created in the front.


    Moreover, the beautification and artistic processing of Schindler in the movie are enough, and the continued sentimentality will leave some people with the handle to attack.


    Schindler was gone, with confusion about his future, embarked on the road of escape. At this time, he would not have thought that after 1958, Israel would award him the Medal of Justice and invite him to the Avenue of Justice in Jerusalem. Planted his own tree.


    Schindler¡¯s Jews have gained a new life. They are equally confused and do not know where to go. The words of the Soviet officer appropriately reflect the current situation of the Jews.


    "Don''t go east. People there are very hostile to Jews. If I were you, don''t go west!"


    Thousands of Jews walked with their arms, in the hopeful singing, the camera switched, Amon Guss went to the gallows, and the murderer got the end he deserved. ()

 Chapter 190： Responsibilities and obligations

    The picture has long been restored to color. One by one ¡®Schindler¡¯s Jews¡¯ walked by. Stones were placed on Schindler¡¯s tombstone, and finally a bunch of flowers were put down.


    The camera zoomed further and further, leaving only Liam Neeson standing alone in front of Oscar Schindler''s grave.


    The violin music composed by John Williams and played by Yitzhak Perlman sounded melodiously. The gentle and delicate, sad but not sad melody makes the music full of persuasiveness and appeal, which reminds people of the suffering in the movie. The suffering nation is constantly striving for self-improvement.


    "Let''s go!"


    Ryan glanced at the crew members surrounded by the crowd, and took Nicole to stride out.


    He just played a small role in the movie, it is difficult to attract people''s attention, besides, as long as the key characters can remember him is enough.


    This is a film entirely belonging to Steven Spielberg. After the past ten or twenty years, people may forget who the actors are and who the production company is, but who the director of the film is.


    "Goodbye, Aunt Katie."


    In front of the theater, Ryan insisted on sending the old man to the car despite the chase of reporters and paparazzi.


    Fortunately, most of the reporters went into the theater and went to the press conference after the premiere.


    "Ryan..."


    Mrs. Katie reached out from the car window and beckoned to Ryan without saying anything.


    Watching the Bentley slowly go away, Ryan sighed slightly. He just wanted to build a good relationship with the other people. He only really respected this old Jewish man.


    Over the years, his development has been fairly smooth, and he can''t even tell whether there is a shadow of an old man with a wide network behind him.


    "Ryan, can you say something?"


    The few reporters were considered interesting, and it was only then that they got together.


    "My car will be here in two minutes." Ryan made a please gesture.


    "How do you rate this movie, how do you rate Oscar? Schindler?" a reporter asked.


    "This is a great movie!" Ryan thought for a while and said again. "As for Oscar Schindler, I think the words in the movie are the most appropriate. To save one person is to save the world!"


    "Ryan..."


    Nicole¡¯s Bentley stopped in front of Ryan. He made an apologetic gesture to the reporter and ignored their questions. While Nicole pushed open the rear door, he got into the car.


    "Didn''t it say that it was two minutes? Now it hasn''t been a minute..." A reporter was complaining.


    "It''s good that he is willing to speak, let''s stop others."


    Most mainstream media in North America are controlled by Jews or Jewish descent. The guiding role that the media can play is immense. Although there are many people with ulterior motives. The voice of questioning the film was made, but it was unable to influence the mainstream media''s evaluation of it.


    Anti-Nazi anti-Hitler is one of the most basic political correctness in the West. No well-known person dares to risk being abandoned by mainstream society and openly deny the existence of the Holocaust.


    Those questioning voices. But just take Oscar Schindler''s life style as an example, saying that he is a profiteer and dandy, and the purpose of saving the Jews is not pure.


    However, the movie is to beautify Oscar Schindler, but no matter what, as a member of the Nazis, it is always a fact that he saved thousands of Jews.


    In the United States, there are a large number of Jews and Jewish descents, many of whom fled from Europe that year. The National Jewish Association is also one of the most influential organizations in North America. Under their full promotion, the trend of "Schindler''s List" spread rapidly throughout the United States.


    Many celebrities were asked what they thought of the film in the interview. None of these people are fools, so naturally they are praised.


    When Nicole Kidman and Judy Foster went shopping on Christmas, they were also asked this question by reporters.


    "According to Mr. Spielberg, although Ryan is not named in the screenwriter, many of the key plots are from him, such as the brightest color." The reporter asked. "Miss Kidman, is this true?"


    "Yes, Ryan happened to see this script at Universal Pictures, so he made some comments." Nicole naturally knew how to answer the most beneficial way. "This is his responsibility and obligation. I want him to do it. Not bad, isn''t it?"


    When there is a chance for hype, the media will naturally not let it go. So some of the things Ryan did in "Schindler''s List" were thoroughly dug up by this group of guys, and they were exposed to the public one by one.


    Even the photos that rescued Natalie were turned over, and many reporters discovered that the friendship between Ryan Jenkins and Natalie Portman far exceeded their performance.


    Of course, there are people with a strong gossip heart, and naturally they think of another aspect...


    What makes people unexpected is that Ryan''s fans raised objections to the movie.


    ""Schindler''s List" shows us a real and cruel history, which brings us a lot of feelings. Ryan has not many roles in it, but his performance is very good." The person interviewed was a young girl," What I want to say is that Ryan was right in front of me and was killed by a crazy Nazi officer. The moment I saw him lying on the ground coldly, my heart broke."


    "I understand that Ryan wants to do something for his ethnicity, but if possible, Ryan, will you stop taking this murdered role in the future? Please consider our feelings!"


    After this passage was published, it received support from many fans, and Ryan also voiced his own voice through the Los Angeles Times.


    The general idea is to thank them for their continued support. Taking on this role is like Steven Spielberg, fulfilling the responsibilities and obligations of a Jewish person, and will definitely consider the feelings of the fans when taking the role in the future.


    Finally, I made a strong appeal to my fans, "I urge you to watch this movie!"


    Such an excellent performance...no, it should be performance, coupled with the promotion of some people behind, the mainstream media''s evaluation of Ryan suddenly increased by more than one level.


    Even after President Zipper saw "Schindler''s List", he borrowed his words at a press conference-I urge you to watch this movie!


    Israel introduced the film for the first time, and sent an invitation letter at the same time, hoping that Ryan could participate in the premiere of the film in Jerusalem.


    Have you played it a bit? Ryan thought so when he received the invitation letter.


    Although he wanted to invite Natalie to visit her hometown, Ryan politely refused. After all, in his mind, Jerusalem was not a very safe place.


    "I declined the invitation from Jerusalem."


    Ryan brought up the invitation while talking on the phone with Natalie.


    "why?"


    Based on Natalie''s understanding of him, she quickly thought of the reason, "Jerusalem is not what you think!"


    "What do I imagine?" Ryan naturally wouldn''t admit it.


    "Ryan? Jenkins!" The rebellious girl made a gritted voice, "Don''t think I don''t know what you are thinking."


    "Let''s do it, Nat!" Ryan had a good idea. "If you are willing to go to Jerusalem together, I will accept this invitation."


    "Come on, Ryan, you know Dad won''t ask me for leave!"


    "That''s why I refused!" Ryan found a sufficient excuse. "Jerusalem is your hometown. Wouldn''t it be boring if you don''t accompany me, Nat."


    "Hmph~ You are obviously making excuses." As you can imagine, Natalie''s nose began to face the ceiling, "Wait when I grow up..."


    "When we grow up, I invite you to travel around the world, how about this idea?" Before she finished speaking, Ryan rushed to change the subject.


    "Okay."


    "Then we''re settled."


    "The people who don''t go are puppies!"


    "Yes, a little dog named Natalie!" Ryan took it smoothly.


    "Ryan Jenkins..." Natalie gritted her teeth on the phone, "I swear to God, I will bite your ear off next time I meet!"


    "Come on, Nat." Ryan said nonchalantly, "You haven''t bitten!"


    "Come on, Ryan." Natalie was clearly following his tone. "If it weren''t for my soft heart, your ears would have been gone."


    "By the way, Ryan, I heard that you just took the test. How did you do?" Natalie asked suddenly.


    "It''s the same, it''s all a."


    "Why is there no c?" Natalie seemed regretful, "That way Nicole will teach you a lesson."


    "Although I only receive two to three hours of family education a day, this knowledge still can''t trouble me!" What Ryan said is the truth. This brain in this life is still very useful.


    "Then what you mentioned in the letter is true?" Natalie showed a little concern.


    "Yes, after the new year''s second album is released, I will devote myself to studying and creating. I plan to finish all the courses in middle school in two years, and then apply to the California Academy of Arts or the Film School of the University of Southern California in 1996! "


    "So will you temporarily quit the entertainment industry?"


    "That''s not the case." Ryan explained again, "I will still write scripts and novels, but I don''t plan to attend those time-consuming and labor-intensive public events."


    "Well then, I think you will succeed."


    Natalie is not worried. She knows how good her friends are, and certain rules of the entertainment industry do not apply to him.


    "That''s it, Nat." Ryan looked at the time. "I''m going to help Nicole prepare. The party is about to begin."


    Before the arrival of the new year, Ryan and Nicole convened a small party, inviting all the friends or people with close interests in the past few years.


    The two films they invested in this year have returned a large amount of income, which is also a celebration party.


    It was not cold in Los Angeles in December. The party was placed on a large lawn in front of the living room. Although there was a professional company taking care of it, Nicole was not very relieved and kept staring at it. ()

 Chapter 191： Contact

    Hollywood has no overnight secrets. This sentence is a bit exaggerated, but it can always reflect certain facts. Ryan and Nicole¡¯s invitations were sent out before Christmas, and there were paparazzi at the door for a long time. The guests have not yet arrived. Dozens of reporter paparazzi appeared around the villa.


    Originally, Ryan proposed to Nicole to put the party in the hotel''s banquet hall, but Nicole rejected it. This is a very private small party, and it would undoubtedly be more appropriate to hold it at home.


    Although they were all old friends and acquaintances who didn''t need to dress too formal, Ryan still tidied up, and when the time was about the same, Nicole and Nicole walked to the front courtyard, ready to welcome the guests.


    First came Cate Blanchett. Because she took over the heroine of "Life and Death" and often went shopping with Nicole, she had some reputation in the circle.


    "Is there anything I can do for help?" She asked when she came closer.


    "If you can, you can act as a temporary security guard and drive away all the paparazzi." Ryan joked looking at the flashing light outside the door.


    "no problem."


    "Hi Judy!"


    Unsurprisingly, the first people to come were all Nicole''s best friends.


    As night fell gradually, one after another luxury cars parked outside the villa. The reporters were almost dazzled. There are too many celebrities and celebrities coming, and this is not a red carpet. Many people come together to let them. Quite a feeling of hustle and bustle.


    Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt and other male celebrities dressed as a gentleman, took their female companions into the villa one after another.


    Maria Kelly. Actresses such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Drew Barrymore, etc. are dressed up in costumes. Showing their own style.


    Those who are waiting here are all senior paparazzi. It is very clear that the ones who have made friends with Ryan Jenkins, or are more involved, are definitely not these stars, but the real power figures in Hollywood that will follow.


    Carter Eisner is now the president of Touchstone Pictures. He represents Walt Disney. In addition, he is accompanied by Reed Miles of Hollywood Records and John Burns, the music director.


    Gerald, who led the appearance of the **** actress, is the executive director of Time Warner. He is also one of the heads of Warner Bros.


    Grant Hill went on his own very low-key, and there are rumors that he will take over the film production department of Twentieth Century Fox.


    Then, there appeared a pair of brothers, Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein, and now Miramax has gradually become the leader of second-tier film companies, and no one will underestimate them.


    When the new helms of the two major film companies appeared, all the limelight was suppressed by them.


    Ron Meyer walked into the villa with a fifteen or six-year-old girl. Some well-informed people know that it is his daughter Jennifer Meyer, who is also said to be a highly capable person.


    Shirley Lansing, the blonde shawl, held the director''s husband with a trace of fatigue, but smiled brightly. After all, she can be regarded as one of the top women in Hollywood.


    "Why are they here? Yesterday someone photographed them on vacation in Hawaii!" A paparazzi was muttering.


    "Why don''t they come! Don''t forget. Some people say that James Cameron and Ryan Jenkins are about to hand in year-end!" Someone reminded.


    It was James Cameron and Linda Hamilton, but the tyrant director was frowning and thinking, and it seemed that they didn''t match their consciousness.


    Before they turned the camera back, another car stopped at the door, and the two directors walked down together.


    "George Lucas and Steven Spielberg!" Someone sighed. "If Ryan Jenkins had a party every day, we wouldn''t have to look for headlines everywhere!"


    "Didn''t you find out. That little guy talks with them on an equal footing. What does this show?"


    "Hollywood''s power rankings should change drastically!" Someone said with deep meaning.


    On the lawn in front of the villa, Ryan shook hands with Spielberg after greeted him in a circle, "Congratulations, Stephen, I can guarantee that the best director of next year''s Oscar will belong to you!"


    "Really, Ryan?" Spielberg smiled brightly. After all, after "Schindler''s List" was released, the media in the Western world highly praised him, "By the way, Kate asked me to say sorry to you. She is producing another movie and can¡¯t make it back to Los Angeles.¡±


    "It doesn''t matter, I talk to Kate on the phone."


    What Ryan and Spielberg said was naturally Catherine Kennedy.


    Although the number of guests is not too many, they always need someone to greet them. Nicole took the female guests into the living room and left the lawn for the men. Ryan was restricted by his body and age, and he was not allowed to drink. He occasionally said something. This anecdote caused everyone to laugh continuously.


    Many of these people are competitors, and there are even contradictions in private, but no one will show it on this occasion.


    Besides, they are all well-known people in the circle. Naturally, they know what to do and what occasions, so the atmosphere of the party is still harmonious.


    The long dining table in the middle of the lawn is full of food, and a table next to it is full of drinks. At the edge, there are professional chefs busy in front of the grill, and the aroma of barbecue will float over from time to time.


    The crowd quickly divided into several piles, chatting about topics of their own interest.


    "Hi, Ryan!"


    "Oh, Miss Meyer."


    Ryan was finishing the barbecue that the chef had cut, and could only nod his head.


    "Didn''t you say that, you can call me Jenny." It was Ron Meyer''s daughter who came over.


    "Well, Jenny." Ryan pointed to the barbecue to Jennifer Meyer, "Need it, this is an authentic Brazilian barbecue."


    "Well, it''s really good!" Jennifer Meyer stretched out two fingers, quickly squeezed a piece and threw it into his mouth, then blinked, "Don''t tell anyone."


    "No problem!" Ryan was not polite with her, "Can you help me?"


    "Of course!" Jennifer Meyer picked up another plate and placed it on the long dining table with Ryan.


    "Why did you come out?" Ryan pointed to the living room, and there was a crisp laughter from time to time.


    "I am too young to have a common topic with them."


    She fetched two glasses of juice and handed it to Ryan. "What about you?"


    "Thank you!" Ryan took the juice, "Me? I said too much just now, I want to take a break..."


    "You are not like a child, you always like to chat with adults."


    "Work required."


    Although the opponent is a few years older than him, Ryan''s words are even more old-fashioned.


    "Really?" Jennifer Meyer looked up and down Ryan, "Why... we also talk about work?"


    "You started working?" Ryan remembered that Ron Mayer had mentioned her age before, as if she was only sixteen.


    "I''m studying fashion design and jewelry design. How about letting me be your image designer?" Jennifer Meyer probably thought that she had a brilliant idea, and was a little excited. "We can sign a half-year contract first, free of charge."


    Looking at the other person''s dress and her age, Ryan felt that this should be a very unreliable thing.


    "Um...I don''t have any needs in this area for the time being." Ryan shrugged off. He rarely pays attention to these things, and he always wears a stable style.


    "Really?" Jennifer Meyer carefully examined Ryan again. "Your top is the style of last year. It should have been half a year since you bought the shoes? The hairstyle is too old-fashioned and there is no new idea... um, Are you not wearing any accessories..."


    The language of criticism poured down, and Ryan''s dressing was useless in the opponent''s mouth.


    "Stop, Jenny!"


    Finally, Ryan had to interrupt her and said casually, "Well, if I need an image designer in the future, I will definitely give priority to you."


    "okay then."


    Jennifer Meyer sighed, she wanted to make a way out of her own strength.


    After a few more small chats, Ryan returned to the adult circle and talked about the topic of movies.


    "Our work in China has made a major breakthrough." It was Shirley Lansing who was speaking. She was sitting in a white wicker chair, and several people around her were obviously dominated by her. "The "True Lies" have been negotiated. It will enter the Chinese market next summer at the latest."


    "It''s really good news." Someone echoed.


    "Is it split or buyout?"


    "Split the accounts."


    "There is another vast market that has opened its arms to Hollywood." Someone patted the armrest of the wicker chair with emotion.


    In fact, this is not a secret, otherwise Shirley Lansing would not say it on such occasions. The top executives of major film companies have known for a long time that the most populous market in 1994 will be based on the way of sharing accounts. Introduce ten major productions including Hong Kong movies.


    In fact, the first agreed-upon movie was "Death of the Dead". Before this movie was released in North America, we negotiated the introduction with the opposite partyTrue Lies" can be regarded as a ride. .


    Ryan remembers very clearly that the previous life "True Lies" was introduced in 1995. He didn''t expect that he let the film be born early and also let it enter the other side of the Pacific in advance.


    Of course, it is unrealistic to expect these movies to make money now, but, as he once said, the Hollywood movie market is cultivated with high-quality commercial blockbusters.


    Despite his young age, Ryan¡¯s social skills have long been exercised, walking among the crowd, discussing with them from time to time, and occasionally talking about common topics among men. In addition to not drinking, he seems There is not much difference from the adults present.


    Interest is an important link between the two parties, but the relationship is drawn out. Only when there is a future can there be a relationship. Even the people at the top of this circle need their own alliance, let alone the current Ryan.


    As the night darkened, people began to leave one after another. Ryan and Nicole sent them away one by one. In the end, only James Cameron, Shirley Lansing, Grant Hill and Harvey Wayne were left. Stan.


    They are going to discuss the next cooperation project! ()

 Chapter 192： Unprecedented investment

    In the small living room of the villa, after serving coffee and black tea, Nicole walked out with the servant. She knew that they were going to talk about the movie project next. In this respect, she had great confidence in Ryan, and Ryan En''s past achievements have also proved this, even if it was a super large production with a budget of up to 200 million US dollars.


    Ryan and James Cameron have given the script and related information to everyone present, and they must have discussed them in their respective companies.


    "Paramount Pictures can invest 40 million US dollars!" The first person who spoke was Shirley Lansing, and her words went straight to the subject.


    "Forty million U.S. dollars, this is also the investment amount of 20th Century Fox." Grant Hill said immediately.


    "And Miramax!" Harvey Weinstein did not hesitate. He had contact with Ryan earlier and more, and his confidence was stronger. "We also invested 40 million US dollars!"


    Counting the 100 million US dollars budget given by Jenkins Pictures, the production cost of this film has reached 220 million US dollars. If their conversation is learned by the outside world, it will not only shake Hollywood, but the entire world film industry. .


    Of course, these investments will only be put in place in the next few years. Neither Ryan nor the company represented by the other three are fools. To put such a huge amount of money on a project for a long time, it can only be foolish. To describe.


    Besides, with James Cameron¡¯s character, if the one-time funding is in place, the production cost of this movie will definitely push up to 300 million US dollars, plus the promotion and marketing budget, it will really become a bottomless pit...


    "Well, we have reached our intention." Ryan held the black tea in front of him, "Are we going to have a drink to celebrate."


    Everyone laughed, either holding black tea or coffee, and taking a big sip at the same time.


    "Jim..." Ryan looked at Cameron, but the other party made a please gesture to him, "Ryan, this project is your proposal. You are also the largest investor, so let''s talk about it next. "


    Recently, Ryan and James Cameron exchanged a lot of opinions on the preliminary work of the film through many phone calls.


    "Jim and I will be the producers of the film."


    This is an opportunity to bless the invincible aura for himself, and Ryan will naturally not let it go. "The location is initially set as Mexico, which can save a lot of labor and venue costs."


    "We will spend more than two years doing preliminary preparations, hiring professional historians and engineers to guide the construction of a one-to-one model ship of the Titanic, and try our best to order a variety of furniture, accessories and accessories from the original manufacturer. For the equipment, Jim has contacted Hanand Wolfe Shipyard. He has obtained a copy of the design drawings of the Titanic. And the design notes of the chief designer Thomas Andrews."


    "We will do our best to restore that big ship!" Ryan was full of confidence in his words. "Jim. It''s up to you to add the rest."


    "Ok!"


    James Cameron nodded, "After the New Year, I will formally devote myself to the preparatory work. I have already contacted the Russian ocean expedition ship Keldish Academy. I will take the photography team to the Atlantic Ocean. Watching the shipwreck up close under the sea, Digital Domain and Ryan¡¯s Blue Sky Studio will take on the post-production special effects of the movie..."


    Compared to Ryan, Cameron said more and more detailed, after all, he is an expert in this area, even for the sake of future funding, he also needs to take the most rigorous attitude.


    Unprecedented huge investment also means unprecedented huge pressure!


    After James Cameron finished speaking, Ryan slowly knocked on the arm of the chair, "Everyone. I think we will work together to create a new record!"


    Facing the eyes cast by everyone, Ryan just smiled and said nothing. He chose these three cooperation carefully!


    Paramount Pictures has strong overseas market development capabilities, and the parent company of Twentieth Century Fox controls numerous media. Miramax is a great tool for public relations!


    The previous Titanic was great enough, but he wanted to make it even greater! At the same time, use its greatness to set off oneself...


    "Ryan, I actually have a good idea." James Cameron said suddenly, his words also attracted the attention of several people.


    Ryan didn''t say anything, just made a gesture to speak.


    "How about you come to play Jack?" Ryan just wanted to speak, but James Cameron stopped him with gestures. He went on to say, "In my plan, how can the film officially start shooting until the summer of 1996? You were over sixteen by then, and you were no longer a child."


    "This..." Ryan scratched his head. He didn''t expect Cameron to have such a proposal.


    "Yes, this is a good idea!"


    The other three people all gave voices of approval. No one wants to see his investment fail. Although Ryan lacks a heavyweight role recently, his appeal is still huge. Letting him play one of the protagonists is equivalent to adding a movie to the movie. Insurance.


    They had all read the script, and naturally knew what kind of role Jack Dawson was, and they couldn''t help taking a closer look at Ryan.


    There are many crippled child stars in Hollywood. Ryan Jenkins will be fourteen years old in a few days. The future looks can be seen. As long as there is no major accident, this will definitely be a handsome guy.


    Although Ryan didn''t accept it personally until everyone left, he was still moved. After all, it was the Titanic...


    When Ryan sent Cameron and the others away and returned to the villa, Nicole was directing the cleaning staff to clean up the garbage.


    "Go back and rest, Nicole." Ryan pulled her a bit. "Here is Lisa."


    "Okay." Nicole followed him and walked towards the living room. "Done talking?"


    "After the New Year, James will take his team to start the preliminary preparations."


    Ryan pressed Nicole on the sofa, "I''m tired, take a rest and go back to the room to sleep."


    "Yeah~"


    Nicole nodded subconsciously, and suddenly realized that she had always asked him to do this...


    "Sit down and talk to me for a while." Nicole pointed to her side, "Sit here."


    "Okay, dear." Ryan sat next to her, grabbed a strand of golden red hair casually, wrapped it naughty between her fingers, "Nicole, is "Batman Forever" about to start up? ?"


    "Next month." Nicole tilted her head to Ryan''s side. "First shoot in the studio. Then go out."


    "We''re going to be busy again." Ryan sighed. After the New Year, he will promote the new album and the new Harry Potter episode.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    On the first day of the New Year¡¯s holiday, tens of thousands of young people gathered in Santa Monica Commercial Plaza. After two years, they finally ushered in the idol¡¯s second solo album.


    "The empty street, the empty house, the empty heart, I am so lonely... My love, I always insist. Getting this love is so far away. So I prayed in a low voice. I hope she can Hearing the call from my heart, there is a clear blue sky, where is the person I want to meet the most, my love!"


    A romantic pop ballad was uploaded on the stage. There is a bitter and sweet emotion in the singing. This is not just a love song, it seems to contain too many complicated things.


    The person who grew up with them, radiated brilliance and became their idol, has grown up! This is the feeling of many fans.


    Ryan grew up and began to sing love songs, looking for his own love!


    "Thank you for your support!" Ryan retracted his mind, pointed to the crowd under the stage, and shouted. "All the time, you have been my strongest supporters. Los Angeles is my home, and you are my relatives. Below is a pop rock. Dedicated to everyone who loves me, ""!"


    The heavy drum beats, the crazy electronic accompaniment sound is invigorating, and then Ryan''s high-pitched voice.


    "I remember the sky full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, I can remember every moment of the encounter, even if the time begins to blur, in the startling omen, the only thing I can hear is your voice, I get Am I supposed to get it? Then give me a reason to prove that I was wrong, and then clean all my memories so that there is no longer a distance between the two pairs of blue eyes..."


    Indulgent shouts, crazy screams, this is a war song that encourages people to gather all courage!


    "Crossing the inner gap, there is nothing left in my heart, except you and me! The earth is collapsing under our feet, I will only hear your voice..."


    The passionate music ignited the enthusiasm of everyone below the stage. They shouted Ryan''s name and seemed to want their idols to continue singing, singing for them forever!


    "Encore! Encore!"


    The sound of tens of thousands of people shouting neatly has almost spread throughout the small seaside town of Santa Monica. Tourists from all over the world unconsciously cast their eyes in the direction of the sound, and there is a lot of curiosity. The audience gathered towards the commercial plaza, and under the influence of the general environment, they began to turn towards Ryan''s fans.


    Ryan returned to the stage in the sound of ¡®encore¡¯ that pierced through the sky, "Well, today¡¯s last song, "People Around"!"


    This is a soothing love song originally created by Ryan. In the mixed accompaniment of piano and guitar, his singing seems to bring magic power, and it easily calms the restless emotions under the stage. Many people can''t help but immerse in the melodious music. .


    After the live performance, it is naturally a routine signing. Compared with last year, the line up this year is longer. Ryan heard the record company mention that as early as yesterday, a team of hundreds of people gathered here just for the first time. Get his autographed record in no time.


    "Need a break?"


    Ryan just walked back to the lounge of the record store and Nicole greeted him.


    "No more." Ryan scanned her light blue eyes, nothing unusual.


    That''s it for now! Ryan frowned and walked out, not seeing Nicole Kidman staring at his back, startled.


    With the release of the second album, Ryan is busy again. He will start a massive publicity campaign with Los Angeles as the starting point and New York as the ending point. He will not be back until the end of the month after flying out of Los Angeles.


    Nicole also started a new job, she and Fang Jimo co-starred in the "Batman Forever" male and female number one, and most of the time in the next month will be spent on the set.


    In reluctance, the two were separated temporarily, but no one would think that when they meet again, everything will change.


    ps:


    Four more sent! Recently, it has been a bit dull. When I wrote this, it happened to be the beginning of the crackdown. I deleted everything originally written, including tomorrow¡¯s two chapters about Ryan and Nicole. I have changed several times. We declare that there is absolutely no soft play. God does not need to look at me. ()

 Chapter 193： Youre back

    The brand-new Maserati drove out of the set. Amid the roar of the motor, it rushed into the flow of traffic. The whirring wind poured in from the slightly opened car window, messing up the gorgeous golden red hair, but blowing There was a depressed expression on his milk-white face.


    Looking at the watch dial, Nicole took the initiative to lower the speed. She still remembers what Ryan solemnly said when buying the car-no speeding!


    Thinking of the person who cared the most, Nicole¡¯s face looked a little better, and her left hand couldn¡¯t help holding her chest. Under her clothes was a platinum necklace that she wore next to her body. Ryan Jenkins¡¯s floral English rubbed his skin from time to time. Never left her.


    I haven''t seen each other for almost a month, and that kind of longing is like a magic sound that pierces her brain, entwining her heart every moment, she can''t wait to fly to New York now!


    Stop thinking about it, Nicole Kidman! You are not a kid like Ryan! She said so much in her heart. Didn''t she just call on the phone last night? He will be back in three days.


    The car finally arrived at the door of the house. When it slowed down to enter, many reporters gathered around and asked loudly through the car window.


    "Miss Kidman, I heard that you are dating Mr. Fang Jimo?"


    "Nicole, someone saw Fang yesterday? Jimo sent you home. Have you already confirmed your relationship!"


    "May I ask, what does Ryan think about you being a boyfriend?"


    "..."


    Nicole''s face was dark and cold, and if he had a Chicago typewriter in his hand, it would definitely abrupt all the tellers outside.


    She stepped on the accelerator violently, and the car flicked its tail amidst the loud hum, and entered the house, leaving only a burst of smoke for the reporter paparazzi.


    Bastard! All bastards!


    Close the door firmly. Nicole''s mood became even worse. Last night, it was only a small breakdown in the Bentley, and he took Fang Jimo''s ride home, but the next day he was fired by the tabloids into a scandal.


    Rubbing her forehead, Nicole walked into the villa. The bored expression was almost written on his face, what would he think if Ryan knew about it?


    This is what she cares most about!


    Maybe I shouldn''t take this **** "Batman Forever"! Nicole began to regret the performance contract that she signed. Fang Kimo was the leading actor. The two of them had a lot of rivals, and they might be hyped by these boring guys in the future.


    I don''t know since when, she deliberately kept the necessary distance from other men.


    "Nicole. This is the magazine you want."


    Nicole took the thick pile from the housekeeper and walked upstairs, "Thank you, Lisa."


    Entering her bedroom, Nicole kicked off her pointed high heels and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Changed into pajamas and home clothes, nestled in the comfortable fabric sofa, and flipped through the stack of magazines.


    She doesn''t want to watch the scandals about herself, this is just some music magazines, most of which are the latest developments in the pop music industry.


    Sure enough, in a prominent position, it was a report on Ryan''s signing event in New York. Looking at the young man in the picture, Nicole''s pale blue eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a smile unconsciously.


    Ryan is getting more and more successful! Nicole remembered the album "My Lover" and smiled even more happily.


    1.35 million copies in the first week, 1.29 million copies in the next week, and more than 3 million copies in three weeks. Such sales swept the major record sales charts at the beginning of the year. Many singers who wanted to release films this month or next month have postponed one after another. Sale plan to avoid its edge.


    Throw away the magazine in your hand. Nicole picked up the "Bulletin Board", and as expected, the criticism against Ryan remained the same.


    Shaking his head, Nicole didn''t look any further and threw the magazine aside. Those music critics can guess that without looking at her, it is nothing more than that Ryan''s new album has abandoned the exploration and thinking of music, completely inclined to commercialization, and embarked on the wrong path in their eyes!


    Ok! Popular songs are not commercialized! Movies are not commercialized! Do practitioners in these two industries go to the streets to beg?


    They are all guys who like to stand up high and criticize others, and they don''t think about the actual situation at all! Nicole shook her head disdainfully. Although she didn''t agree with Ryan''s commercialization of art, she also knew that if it became the style of the ** circle, these two industries would only decline.


    Bend her knees and hugged her chest, Nicole was conscious, and habitually looked at the opposite side. It was a glass cabinet with more than a dozen photo frames, all of which were photos of her and Ryan.


    Nicole jumped off the sofa, took the soft and white thick cotton cloth, walked over, took out the photo frames and wiped them one by one, looking carefully and conscientiously, as if wiping the most precious jewels.


    She has always done the cleaning and tidying of these photo frames by herself. She will not let anyone touch it. There are her best memories. These memories are as deep as they are engraved in her mind. Whenever she sees them These group photos, she can always think of getting along with Ryan bit by bit.


    The last photo frame is a group photo taken on New Year''s Day. The thin boy in the past has already completed his transformation. Not only is his height equal to himself, but the tenderness of his appearance is gradually fading.


    He is about to become a real man! Nicole''s hand shook slightly, this is, my Ryan.


    In a blink of an eye, it has been seven years. For seven years, they have been together day and night, they depended on each other, they encouraged each other, they never let each other sad, they belonged not only to themselves, but to each other.


    Looking at the person in the frame quietly, Nicole was stunned for a long time. She didn''t know when, her feelings for Ryan gradually changed.


    Perhaps it is his full of talent, perhaps it is the appearance of constant maturity, perhaps it is the explosion of emotional accumulation, or it may be the destiny of destiny and the will of God.


    "You know what, Ryan, I''ve been waiting for you to grow up!" Nicole murmured.


    But... will he understand himself? Will he accept himself? Nicole''s heart was filled with depression again, and her uncertainty about the future made her worry about gains and losses.


    Also... what other people would think of Ryan... Nicole directly ignored herself. Some things she was looking forward to and afraid of coming.


    Okay, don''t think about it anymore! Nicole shook her head, but these delusions seemed to be entangled in her heart. Let her be in peace for a moment.


    "Perhaps, I need to relax."


    Nicole walked to the cupboard beside the bed, took out the cigarette case that Ryan had seen, and drew out a hand-rolled cigarette, put it on the end of his nose and sniffed.


    These things came back to Australia one year. I got it from my sister Annie. Sometimes when the pressure is too high, she will take a small sip to ease the tension.


    Only a few years later, it only sucked a limited number of sticks, and one of them was almost discovered by Ryan. After that, she threw it in the cupboard and never used it again.


    After igniting, he took a strong breath, and the discomfort of smoke entering the lungs made Nicole cough violently. After a long time, he breathed smoothly.


    Blush gradually appeared on her white face, her light blue eyes narrowed into crescents, Nicole leaned back on the sofa and looked at the ceiling stupidly, and another puff of smoke came out of her lips.


    One burned to the end, and Nicole lit another one.


    Compared with those other stars. I can be called a role model for Hollywood! Nicole fell into excitement. They drank, reveled, took drugs, ""...


    And me? Watching him grow up every day, devoting all his efforts to him, does he understand his painstaking efforts? Does he understand the distress in his heart?


    Nicole stood up swayingly, as if stepping on soft velvet under her feet, her body skewed, and almost fell on the sofa. Obsessed and madness were reflected in her blurred eyes.


    I am a normal woman! I also have normal physiological needs! Who knows what I have been upset over the years!


    In the next two or two, Nicole took off the home clothes. He threw it on the thick carpet, wearing thin pajamas with suspenders, walking crookedly back and forth, venting more and more excited emotions.


    "Ryan Jenkins, you bastard. Why don''t you come back in New York, is that Natalie so important?"


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Time pushed forward. Just before Nicole¡¯s Maserati entered Beverly Hills, Ryan walked out of the VIP passage of Los Angeles International Airport with a backpack on his back. He probably decided to come back temporarily. He didn¡¯t see him nearby. The reporter and the paparazzi, after George drove the car, waved to the people from the Hollywood Record Company and hurriedly got in.


    "Go home!" Ryan had only one sentence.


    Originally, he planned to come back in three days. He told Nicole last night. What he didn''t expect was that he temporarily canceled a radio station''s publicity itinerary and flew back to the City of Angels today.


    "Lisa, where''s Nicole?"


    After returning home, Ryan didn''t see Nicole and couldn''t help asking the housekeeper.


    "It should be upstairs."


    Before Lisa''s words fell, Ryan strode up the stairs, threw the backpack into his room, and walked towards Nicole''s room.


    When he came to the door, Ryan twisted his knuckles and tapped a few times. No one responded, but someone could be heard moving inside vaguely.


    Ryan opened the door directly, walked in, and then saw Nicole Kidman''s blushing face, walking around with excitement and exhaustion, forehands, as if this state had lasted for a long time.


    "Nicole!"


    Frowning, Ryan smelled a strange smell.


    "Ryan!" Nicole turned around and looked over, her light blue eyes gleaming with unknown meaning.


    "what are you doing?"


    The Australian girl only wears thin pajamas, and there are two obvious protruding points on her chest.


    "What am I doing?" Nicole Kidmanger laughed. "Do you want to know, Ryan?"


    "Did you drink?" Ryan leaned to her mouth and sniffed. There was no smell of alcohol.


    "drink?"


    Nicole shook her body suddenly blew into Ryan''s face, "You are an illusion! My Ryan is in New York..."


    After speaking, he raised his hand and put it to his mouth, but couldn''t inhale anything. It turned out that the cigarette was gone long ago.


    "It''s really annoying!"


    Nicole Kidman just wanted to find the lighter, Ryan had snatched the things between her fingers, and after only one glance, he understood.


    "Nicole, you **** too much!" Ryan''s voice gradually turned serious.


    "Well, why don''t I think." Nicole reached out to grab it back, but Ryan grabbed her wrist, "Well, you should rest, Nicole."


    "You... are you really back?" Nicole opened her mouth slightly, but the madness in her eyes was even worse, and the exhaustion after excitement also appeared. (To be continued.

 Chapter 194： the answer is?

    "Please, give it back to me, Ryan." Nicole was obviously not sober, and her sanity seemed to disappear. "I don''t want to be troubled, I don''t want pressure, can you give it back to me, dear?"


    "Worry? Stress?"


    Of course Ryan would not return it to him, and threw it into the trash can on the other side, "Well, Miss Nicole Kidman, it''s time to go to bed!"


    "Sleep? Why do you want to sleep?" Nicole let out a gigantic laugh, took two steps back, sat on the bed with her hands behind her, tilted her head and looked at Ryan, "You know, my dear, I am now It¡¯s like flying in the sky, it¡¯s a great feeling!"


    Do you know what you are doing? Ryan glanced at the thin translucent pajamas and quickly closed his gaze back.


    "You smoke too much, Nicole!" Ryan''s tone was more serious than ever, "You must quit in the future!"


    "Too many? Quit? Just two." The red tide on Nicole''s face gradually dissipated, and the tiredness became more and more obvious. "I just want to relax! Ryan, do you know how bored I am? Do you know how depressed I am? You don''t even know!"


    Ryan knew that Nicole probably didn''t have much saneness to speak of right now, so just let her vent, "Well, I''m listening, you go on!"


    "Listen?" Nicole gave a self-deprecating smile and yawned, "You are just a kid, how can you understand the sexual depression of adult women!"


    "I understand!" Ryan pulled the high-back chair and sat down across from Nicole.


    "You don''t understand! You don''t understand at all!"


    Nicole suddenly stood up from the bed. Probably the most exciting stage had passed. Her body was inevitably soft, and she collapsed on the thick carpet. Ryan just wanted to reach out to help. But Nicole waved and opened it.


    "Do you understand my heart?" Nicole covered her heart and burst out like this, "Ryan, you are mine, no one can take it away! You are mine..."


    "Well, my dear. I''m here, I won''t go anywhere."


    Looking at Nicole who was yawning, Ryan didn''t care about her teeth and claws, and hugged her up.


    "Okay, take a good night''s sleep, and it will be back to normal tomorrow."


    "I don''t want it!"


    Nicole almost couldn''t open her eyes. But he summoned his last strength and courage, taking advantage of the little excitement that was left, shouted out the most hidden secret in my heart.


    "I love you, Ryan, you know what, I love you!"


    Ryan''s eyes narrowed first. Then the pupils were enlarged to the largest size, something in my mind exploded to pieces, what I was looking forward to, what I dreamed of, what I wanted most, just happened inadvertently...


    It turns out... It turns out that she has always had me in her heart, and that old fellow God treats herself really well.


    "Nicole!" He hugged her tightly. The turbulent mood couldn''t be calmed for a long time. After a long time, I got to the white ear, "Nicole, I..."


    "Shut up, Ryan, you are too noisy..." After the excitement and madness, she was exhausted, and Nicole''s eyelids drooped. "My head hurts! I want to sleep! I want to sleep..."


    Well, some words will wait until you wake up tomorrow!


    She kissed **** her white forehead. Ryan put Nicole on the bed and carefully pulled up the quilt. The Australian girl was in a daze, shouting thirsty.


    After feeding her water, Ryan frowned. How much did she smoke? Fortunately, this is just big...


    Soon, Ryan found the cigarette case and threw it into the trash can without hesitation, not allowing Nicole to touch it anyway.


    Sitting on the fabric sofa, Ryan stared at Nicole uneasy, but he just bowed his head after a long flight.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Waking up from her sleep, Nicole slowly opened her eyes, her head was splitting and painful, and she snorted, turned her head, and happened to see the man on the sofa.


    Ryan? Isn''t he in New York? When did you come back? Nicole was startled first, and then pictures flashed through his mind like a movie, recalling everything in an instant.


    Come on... God! What have I done! Nicole''s whole body was trembling, regret, panic, and ashamed, like a tide coming up.


    Nicole''s sigh naturally awakened Ryan. When he raised his head, his eyes met the pair of pale blue eyes, smiled slightly, took the water glass, and walked to the big bed.


    "Would you like some water, Nicole?"


    Just when Nicole was startled, Ryan lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.


    "me¡­¡­"


    Nicole looked away, and never dared to look at him anymore. Ryan could guess only by looking at Nicole''s expression. She must remember what she said last night!


    That being the case, what else can you hesitate?


    "Nicole, what you said last night is exactly what I wanted to tell you!"


    When the matter has reached this point, Ryan has already planned to face it calmly. Besides, isn''t this exactly what he wants?


    Nicole Kidman opened her mouth wide in shock, seemingly unbelievable, trying to get up, but found her body limp and weak.


    "We have been together for seven years, and I never thought that you would leave me, not in the past, not now, not in the future!" Ryan knelt and sat beside her, holding her hand tightly. Faced with the Australian girl seriously, scruples and hesitations did not help now.


    There was ecstasy on Nicole''s face. What could be happier than the one she loved still loving herself at the same time? But it turned into panic in an instant.


    Yes it is! She has been looking forward to this day, and has never dared to think about it. She and Ryan are not ordinary people. How would the public in North America and the media who are afraid of chaos in the world view them?


    You know, after Woody Allen married his adopted daughter, the media has never stopped criticizing him. What if it were himself and Ryan?


    Nicole doesn''t care, anyway, her beautiful side will only be fully displayed in front of Ryan. In the eyes of many media, she is both arrogant and maverick. Even if her reputation is ruined, it is not a big deal. With the increasing assets over the years , Even if you don¡¯t film in the future, you can live the life you want comfortably. Although that would make her very, very unwilling!


    But Ryan is different. His career has just started. He is the object of adoration by countless people in North America. He is the American dream in the eyes of the media...


    This... this will ruin him!


    "Nicole..."


    "No!" Nicole shook off Ryan''s hand holding her, "I. We..."


    "Nicole..." Ryan looked directly at her light blue eyes and did not give Nicole a chance to escape. Who knew that the Australian girl took the initiative to hide, "Ryan, can you go out first, I... we need to calm down a bit."


    Ryan didn''t speak. Firmness and haze flashed in his eyes at the same time! The darkness has eroded the sun!


    "Go out..."


    Seeing that Nicole''s face seemed to turn cold, Ryan lowered his eyelids, covered up the sharpness, and asked the last sentence in her ear.


    "I... I don''t know, I... I have to think about it." Nicole still avoided his gaze, "Will you go out."


    Pick up the trash can. Ryan walked out, went back to his room to wash, and went directly to the living room, sitting in front of the black grand piano, without saying a word coldly.


    Things have developed to where they are now, no matter what, he will not let Nicole leave. Besides, he could feel Nicole''s heart.


    It''s just... Why can''t she respond positively if she asks herself?


    Ryan was not a fool, on the contrary, he was extremely smart, and knew enough about Nicole Kidman, and immediately thought of the possible reasons.


    Fame? prestige? North American idol? A realistic version of the American Dream? Compared with Nicole, what are these things? The big deal is that I, like Woody Allen and Roman Polanski, turned to the backstage.


    Besides, he wouldn''t expose his relationship with Nicole prematurely, it would not do them any good. As he grows older and the capital in his hands increases, he will naturally use means to make the public and mainstream society accept them, even if they don''t accept them, what if?


    As for the clamor of the tabloids, who cares!


    This is the extremely realistic Vanity Fair Hollywood, not a place of morality!


    Ryan''s mouth was sneered. The sunlight on his face gradually dissipated, and his handsome face was slowly shrouded in darkness.


    "Ryan~"


    Suddenly a little girl rushed into the living room, blond and blue eyes, it was Taylor Swift with a bright smile.


    "Why are you here, Tyler."


    Ryan''s mood was not good, and there was a hint of chill in her words. The little girl shrank her neck unconsciously, "The driver...the driver sent me here."


    Then, she looked at Ryan''s dark face and thought it was better to stay away from him, "Ryan, I''m going upstairs to find Nicole."


    After speaking, he even climbed to the second floor.


    Ryan''s appearance is so terrible, it seems that the whole world owes him money! Tyler stuck out his tongue playfully and pushed open Nicole''s room door, "Hi, Nicole!"


    No one answered. Tyler looked forward in a daze. Nicole, who has always loved herself very much, was wearing a short pajamas, sitting on the carpet with her hands on her knees, her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled into a lump, and her eyes were still red. Like after crying his nose.


    "What happened, Nicole?" she asked caringly.


    "Taylor?" Nicole''s voice was very low, and her mood was obviously wrong. Even Tyler could hear it. She asked curiously, "Ryan...Ryan seems to be losing his temper. Have you quarreled?"


    The little girl naturally thought of what her parents looked like after the quarrel.


    "No." Nicole didn''t seem to know what to say. "It''s just that something... other things happened."


    "Where''s Ryan?" She was very concerned, but that was the person she cared about most.


    "In the living room, it''s scary to be black." Tyler couldn''t help but glanced at that look.


    "I...I''ll go see him." Nicole stood up, took only two steps, and sat on the sofa next to her, covering her forehead.


    Damn it! How much did I smoke last night? I will never touch those things again! Nicole gritted her teeth and swears in her heart!


    "Nicole, are you uncomfortable?" Tyler fawned over.


    Nicole felt soft like velvet, so she looked at Tyler and said helplessly, "For me...send a word to Ryan..."


    Sitting in front of the piano, Ryan thought quietly, what to do to make Nicole really accept him...


    In the sound of pedaling footsteps, the little girl who had just gone upstairs ran down again and went straight to Ryan''s side.


    "Is there anything, Tyler?" Ryan asked angrily.


    The little girl shrank her neck unconsciously. After a pause, she said, "Nicole...Nicole asked me to tell you ~ www.novelhall.com~ She has an answer to your question.


    Have an answer? A light flashed in Ryan''s eyes, and then dimmed again. She would rather let the little girl pass a message than come in person, then...


    "Say it."


    Ryan lowered his eyes, he knew how scary his eyes were.


    "Ryan." The little girl seemed really scared, "Nicole said, saying that the answer is...every minute, every second!"


    every moment! Ryan Teng stood up, the eyes that he had just closed suddenly opened, and there was only...ecstasy inside!


    Nicole! Ryan no longer cared about Tyler and strode towards the stairs.


    Unexpectedly, behind her came a very curious question from the little girl, "Ryan, what did you ask Nicole?"


    "She loved me before!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation votes and monthly tickets from the starting point. Your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to m. to read.) ()

 Chapter 195： Time Weekly One

    Ps: Sorry~ I played it yesterday. I lost the USB disk. The last two chapters of the first volume and a lot of drafts are in it. I am in sorrow. . . Uploaded the second volume. . .


    In the 1990s, the United States of America became the only hegemon in the world, ushering in the golden age, all walks of life have entered the fast lane of rapid development, the same is true for the media industry.


    Time Warner Group, one of the giants in the media industry, spans publishing, film, television and other industries, and has a significant influence in North America and the world. Its "Times Weekly" is one of the leaders.


    At the end of January 1996, the new issue of "Time" was officially launched. The cover character was the boy whose name was repeatedly mentioned by the media, but his figure disappeared from public view for almost two years.


    It is a pity that the cover photo is the image of two years ago.


    "Ryan? Where did Jenkins go?"


    This is the headline on the cover, which is very eye-catching.


    Below the title, there is a small line of text, which is particularly eye-catching.


    "There is a kind of person who was born to tell the world that God''s creation is so unfair! When God puts his soul into his body, he must be full of love. If there is unfairness in this world, Ryan Jenkins is the biggest unfairness. fair!"


    Open this "Time Magazine", in the most prominent position, it publishes various photos of Ryan Jenkins since his debut, as well as a large text narrative. It seems that I want to use this unique way to simplify the deepness. The young man pulled back into the public eye.


    "Hollywood entered the first six years of the 1990s, and there was a phenomenon called Ryan Jenkins. His name and works have almost become synonymous with box office and success. Teenagers worship him crazily. He is regarded as an idol. Mainstream public opinion highly praised him, believing that he is the representative of the American dream, and various entertainment groups have made good friends with him, believing that he can create hundreds of millions of profits with a wave of hands."


    "So far. Six years have passed. Ryan Jenkins is sixteen years old. We can still think of the thin boy."


    "In 1990, a horror movie called "The Sixth Sense"¡ªeven though many people still don¡¯t recognize it as a horror movie¡ªbrought Ryan into the public eye. I vaguely remember that some media claimed that his performance in it was a horror movie. The most child star, I think about it now. This evaluation is not excessive, it is this role that brought Ryan the first Oscar statuette!"


    "''I did suspect that such a touching story was written by a nine-year-old child. It was incredible, but Ryan only took a few minutes. It dispelled all my doubts, even though it was later paid. He and Nicole Kidman had a total of more than 8 million U.S. dollars in compensation, but they never regretted choosing this script at the beginning, and chose their two characters to star in "This is what Harvey Weinstein said in an interview with us." Of course, he will not regret it, "Sixth Sense" brought Miramax more than $630 million in global box office!"


    "There are many people claiming that Harvey Weinstein discovered Ryan Jenkins, but he never thought so." You should know that Ryan had already published three novels at the time, and among them there were top best-selling books. If he is willing Take the initiative, "Sixth Sense" may not be Miramax''s turn."


    "After "The Sixth Sense", Ryan starred in his own script "Home Alone". Although many people criticized the whole crew for accompany him to make mischief, there is no doubt that this movie also achieved great success. "


    "Since then. The future savior in "Terminator 2" has pushed Ryan to the throne of the first ever child star in Hollywood, and his single film remuneration has exceeded 10 million US dollars."


    "''For every dollar he pays by investors, his return on investment is so high that it is far beyond everyone''s imagination!" said Mario Casa, the president of Carlock Films.


    "''Working with Ryan is an enjoyable process. Everyone knows that children and animals are the most uncontrollable factors when shooting, but this definitely does not apply to him. Ryan has an incredible ability to understand, and he rarely needs to shoot. Tell him about the drama, instead he will come up with some absolutely wonderful ideas from time to time to make the movie even better. For example, the creativity of the T1000 robot comes from him.''James Cameron is definitely one of the people who have worked closely with Ryan One, his words are very representative!"


    "''Ryan is full of imagination. When filming "Terminator 2", I just smiled at him and Nicole. He was inspired by his smile and wrote "True Lies". I still remember him. Yelled to me, hey, Arnold, you should drive a sea harrier fighter plane to rescue your daughter in the steel jungle of the city.''Arnold Schwarzenegger never denies,''Yes, Ryan and James joined forces. Pushed my career to the highest peak!''"


    "Ryan Jenkins has achieved success step by step, but the voices of questioning continue to sound. The most famous is the Tom Cruise incident. It is precisely because of that incident that the public was fortunate to see how super geniuses create on-site. The script, to this day, Ryan''s work is still successful, but after that incident, Mr. Cruise experienced the huge failure of the two major productions of "Raging Flames" and "Death Blitz" and became a veritable one. Box office poison."


    "Speaking of the box office, one can''t help but think of "Jurassic Park", the total box office champion in movie history. Although it has not yet included its box office figures after entering the Chinese market, the global box office of up to 1.1 billion US dollars is still daunting! "


    "This is the work of Ryan Jenkins. From novels to adaptations, to film planning, he played the most critical role in it. The huge success has also allowed him to get a huge return, even if the income of the novel is not calculated. In addition, Ryan also received more than 250 million U.S. dollars in personal income from it."


    "There are also the equally successful "Lion King" and "True Lies". These have made Ryan one of the richest minors in the United States. Unlike other people, Ryan''s net worth is through his own It''s a result of hard work and struggle."


    "In 1994, the public once again saw Ryan Jenkins''s unreliable idea that day. He adapted the political satirical novel "Forrest Gump" into a story full of inspirational flavor. Forrest Gump used his own Legs. Take the entire United States to relive the history we have in mind. This joint production of Jenkins Pictures and Paramount Pictures not only gave Ryan the best screenplay adaptation, but also Tom Han. X was re-elected as the actor."


    "''I want to thank Ryan, he recommended me to play the role of Forrest Gump. Without him, there would be no my second best actor!" This is what Tom Hanks said in his acceptance speech, but Ryan did not Attend the Oscars ceremony."


    "In short, Ryan and his works have been successful, and now it seems that they will continue to succeed, even if he is now hidden behind the scenes. But his ideas and creativity continue to appear on the big screen."


    "When it comes to conception, we have to talk about Ryan''s two most important novels, "Jurassic Park" and "Harry Potter" series. They have become one of the most successful business novels of all time."


    ""Jurassic Park" was born in 1986. This work is suitable for all ages. After the movie version was released, its figure spread all over the world, translated into dozens of languages, widely circulated, and sold. A terrifying number of more than 130 million copies."


    "Just in February last year, the final chapter of the Harry Potter series "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" was released. It made a huge wave in the English-speaking area. Although Ryan did not participate in any publicity activities, it was announced. It''s the end and coming of an era.


    "From then on, people will no longer question what kind of adventure the little wizard wielding a magic wand will experience in the next episode, but the end of this series announces the completion of a magical masterpiece. There is only one remaining problem, it When will it be put on the big screen by Ryan like "Jurassic Park"!"


    "''Warner Bros. Pictures wanted to exchange 10% of the shares in this series of film adaptation rights. But Ryan rejected it." The person in charge of Warner Bros. said this unwillingly."


    "And the story essays and short novellas that Ryan has successively published on Vanity Fair in recent years have all become the targets of various film companies. Presumably Ms. Tina Brown will definitely sign Ryan for the first time. En''s decision is very excited."


    "This teenager is so versatile and so productive, his inspiration. His creativity has never been cut off."


    "''Once, Ryan and I were playing tennis. After he returned the ball, he suddenly threw away his racket and ran back to the room yelling. So a song was born, um...it was the championship single "People Around" "His sister Nicole Kidman is obviously very proud of him, "In my heart, Ryan will always be the best one!"


    "In fact, just as Miss Nicole Kidman said, Ryan Jenkins is indeed worthy of her pride. Let''s just talk about the songs and music she mentioned. Ryan has released two solo albums in total¡ª" "Ryan Jenkins" and "My Lover"!"


    ""Ryan Jenkins" was officially released in 1992. Four years have passed since UU reading , and its global sales have already exceeded 25 million copies."


    "As for "My Lover", this album has been criticized by music critics since the day it was released, but it is difficult to prevent its huge commercial and vocal success. It broke 4 million copies in the first month and broke in three months. 10 million copies, each listed in a region, will win the local sales chart champion, two years later, North America has sold more than 25 million copies, and global sales are close to 35 million copies. It is definitely the most successful album since the 1990s! "


    "In addition, there is the "Cup of Life". Although it is not mainstream music, Ryan Jenkins made his last public appearance-the opening performance of the Grammy in 1994-which is the best live performance ever in the history of the Grammy!"


    "''Yes, after the performance of "Cup of Life", the audience stood up and applauded for a long time. It was definitely the best live performance I have ever seen. I also went backstage and sent it specifically for Ryan. Congratulations, he is a superstar, I am talking about a superstar in pop music! "Maria Kelly commented on that opening performance."

 Chapter 196： Time Magazine 2

    "Ryan Jenkins, he grew up almost under the gaze of the whole world, and he is still growing. However, as he himself said-God gave you a pearl and will definitely take you a diamond. ¡ª¡ªWhile he showed extraordinary artistic talent and attainments, he also showed a bad side."


    "As we all know, Ryan is severely allergic to alcohol, is not adapted to the cold environment, and is too fond of pranks and jokes. He tried business investment several times, but was criticized. He thought that he did not have enough business talents. Even today, he and Nicole Jenkins Pictures, jointly created by Kidman, Pai Kingsley and Scott Swift, is still in control of Nicole Kidman."


    "However, is this the truth?"


    "In 1993, due to Ryan¡¯s strong request, the foundation under his name spent huge sums of money to acquire Blizzard Entertainment, Pixar Studios and Blue Sky Studios, and then invested $150 million in Paramount Pictures. Industry, making Nicole Kidman a member of the board of directors of top film companies."


    "Is the investment that Ryan insisted on at the beginning really bad? Let us look at the development of these companies now to understand!"


    "The predecessor of Blizzard Entertainment was called the''Silicon and Nerve Key'' studio. When Ryan acquired it, there were only a dozen employees, but after his capital injection, this renamed game development company showed extraordinary vitality. , They obtained the authorization of Ryan¡¯s "Warcraft" series of stories, and based on this setting, they developed the real-time strategy game "Warcraft". In less than two years, they sold more than two hundred around the world. The sales volume of 10,000 sets made the entire gaming industry look at it. Ryan''s initial investment has received a huge return! It is reported that Microsoft once offered him US$100 million to buy Blizzard Entertainment, but he refused."


    "What we want to focus on is Pixar Studios. This animation studio in Richmond, California may be a bit strange to everyone, but the "Toy Story" that was released on Christmas last year must have been seen by many people. It is based on the "Ryan Story". A fully computerized 3D animation film adapted from the story of the same name in "The Episode". Its production company is Pixar!"


    "Toy Story¡¯s North American box office is now rushing towards 250 million US dollars. It is inevitable to win the 95 North American box office ranking. Just after the first week of the film¡¯s release, Pixar officially went on the market. In just a few days, its The stock price rose rapidly from 22 dollars at the opening to 55 dollars, and it is still rising, creating another myth in the IT industry!"


    "In 1993, Ryan bought Pixar from Steve Jobs for $50 million. It was ridiculed by many people. Now this $50 million has brought Ryan more than $1 billion in net worth. Not only He became the richest person of his age, even his sister Nicole Kidman, with not too many shares in his hands, became a billionaire woman!"


    "Even if Lantian Studio can barely maintain a balance of payments. These three investment projects have achieved great success!"


    "Of course, many people are still waiting to see Ryan Jenkins stumble, waiting to see the jokes about his investment failure."


    "Because in 1994 and 1995, he invested a considerable amount of money and established a network company called Yahoo with David Filo and Jerry Yang, and became the second largest shareholder, but 95 Year after year, the company''s turnover was only a pitiful 1.3 million U.S. dollars. The actual loss was 630,000 U.S. dollars. Ryan once again gave others an excuse to criticize his business talent..."


    "There is also the huge model ship and several temporary studios built on the coast of Mexico. Jenkins Pictures invested 100 million U.S. dollars. Together with Paramount, Miramax and Twentieth Century Fox, the huge U.S. Two years have passed since the production cost. The film still has no signs of starting, making many people suspect that Ryan Jenkins is likely to suffer an unprecedented huge failure in the film, and lose all his years of prestige!"


    "Furthermore, after Jenkins Pictures acquired Carlock Films, it began to recruit screenwriters on a large scale and set up a team of screenwriters for Ryan. He wanted to turn his continuous ideas and creativity into qualified scripts. There is media irony. Ryan Jenkins will completely become a Hollywood assembly line."


    "But will it really be like this? We interviewed James Cameron, who worked with Ryan again, and he said, "We have strict requirements for the details of "Titanic" to the extreme, and a long preparatory period. It must be a perfect movie!''"


    "James Cameron is so confident, like everyone who works with Ryan Jenkins."


    "''They are right. Ryan is not good at specific matters, but he always has an amazing instinct when investing in movies. Has he failed before? No! So don''t say that I have not fulfilled my responsibilities. , Because I completely trust Ryan! "This is what Miss Nicole Kidman said when talking about investment."


    "Just like Ryan wrote in his essay, some people always look at the world maliciously, questioning everything that can be questioned, but no matter what they say or do, the fearless winners will continue to succeed!"


    "Going back to the beginning of the topic, Ryan has been simple and simple in the past two years. Where did he go and what he is doing? Last year, he followed the Princess of Wales to Africa for charity assistance, but it was a secret operation. In addition to his works, the past two years There is very little news about him."


    "For this, we interviewed Ryan¡¯s best friend, Miss Natalie Portman, and she told us some ¡°secret¡± news. In addition to creating, Ryan devoted all her energy to learning. , He wants to finish the middle school curriculum as soon as possible."


    "We visited this, and the facts are just like what Miss Natalie said. Since 1994, Ryan has hired several tutors and started to study courses for grades 7-12. Last year, several homework passed After taking the sat test¡ªeven if his results are not excellent¡ªthere is certain news that he will apply to the USC Film School this summer."


    "It can be seen that Ryan has never been complacent with the achievements he has achieved, and is still enriching himself on the road to success. If such people cannot succeed, what kind of people will succeed?"


    "In our opinion, there are two people in Ryan''s soul. One is the winner in the white tower, noble and humble, but always facing the flower of evil poured out by the black blood. One will crawl out of it. An evil black wizard wanted to drag him into the **** of sinking; the other was a brave and hard-working knight. He climbed up from the bottom, surpassing all obstacles and thorns, and killed the black wizard cleanly, in the direction of success. Go up and go farther and farther."


    "Just as we paid attention to the aura of Ryan''s first child star in Hollywood, he quietly completed another transformation. He worked with big directors and producers such as James Cameron, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. If you¡¯re good, you can have tea and chat with movie giants like Ron Meyer and Shirley Lansing...Unknowingly. He has become one of Hollywood¡¯s powerful figures."


    "However. Today, two years later. Except for his name, it is difficult for us to find him in the media. Is it true that Ryan Jenkins wants to turn completely behind the scenes, as some people say?"


    "Two years. It''s enough to change a lot of things and make a teenager grow up. How many people still remember the image of Ryan Jenkins on the big screen? Even the two closest people to him, Nicole Key. Both Deman and Natalie Portman are constantly choosing the right roles, but he has no trace..."


    "Whether he is conceiving new ideas and scripts, or writing the next novel at the desk, or playing and singing, entertaining himself, we don''t know. We don''t even know if he is still in Los Angeles. Is it still in Hollywood?"


    "''We like all his works, his movies, his novels. His music, his essays, and interesting stories, but two years have passed. Ryan is sixteen years old. What has he become? We don¡¯t know what it looks like. We know that he is working hard for his studies, and we appreciate Ryan¡¯s spirit and attitude, but he always shows up? Always let us see how you grow up, right? You are not as handsome and cute as you were when you were a kid, and we will still firmly support you!'' This is what the person in charge of a support club of Ryan said."


    "''Frankly speaking, we also want to take pictures of him, do you know? After Pixar went public, my editor-in-chief offered a $200,000 reward for the latest photos of Ryan Jenkins, and we watched him day and night. In front of his home, apart from Nicole Kidman who entered and exited, we could not get any valuable news. We suspected that Ryan had left Los Angeles after passing the sat test, but his London counterparts found that they were located in Kensington. Outside the villa in Hinton District, there is also no gain. Where he went, we also want to know. "This is the emotion of the entertainment industry."


    "''We really want him to talk about his initial investment decisions and thoughts. If possible, it would be even better to accept our interview. Do you think one billion US dollars is his real net worth? I can guarantee that it is definitely not. I There are many friends on Wall Street. Everyone knows that Scott Swift has made a lot of money in investment in the past few years, and the fund he controls holds a lot of bullish stocks. We have checked that this fund belongs to Ryan? Jenkins and Nicole Kidman Their real net worth far exceeds the estimates of your entertainment industry. "The above remarks are from a senior editor of Fortune magazine."


    "From fans to reporters, from the media industry to the financial industry, from the entertainment industry to the IT industry, many people are looking for that boy."


    "He is the guarantee of the movie box office, synonymous with success and hard work, the owner of huge wealth, the darling of the goddess of luck, and the most precious gift God has given to America. He is Ryan Jenkins!"


    "Where did Ryan Jenkins go?"


    The editorial department of "Time" naturally knows where Ryan Jenkins has gone. This special report is the result of communication between the two parties. It is in the interests of both sides to attract readers¡¯ attention with such a unique perspective. A win-win situation will always be a win-win situation. Last word.


    Where is Ryan?


    ps:


    Four more tomorrow! Thank you Liu Ningye, Cangkong Ximu, Flying Pig, Wuyun Taxue, Naz Ignir and other book friends for their rewards, thanks! I went to find the USB flash drive at noon, and I confirmed that I lost it, and there are not many manuscripts saved. . . . ()

 Chapter 197： 16 years old

    The bright sun is hidden among the tall buildings, the straight roads are dappled with light and dark, and the vehicles passing by are like the rush of life in New York. In the early spring of Long Island, the temperature rises rapidly. The plants on the edge regained their vitality.


    The Land Rover cross-country vehicle crushed the light spots on the road and turned to the door of Long Island Middle School. Accompanied by the creak of the brakes, the co-pilot''s door opened and a tall young man jumped down.


    The black lace-up high-top leather boots fell on the ground first, his legs were slender and straight like marble pillars, and his slightly thin but tall body was covered with a high-necked beige sweater, and two hands like an artist. Pulling down the gray short coat with lapel, it seems a little afraid of the little cold left in the air.


    After taking out the latest mobile phone, the young man dialed a number and put it in his ear, and at the same time looked up at the right sun.


    The bright sunshine fell on his head, the light brown short and medium hair reflected a little golden light, and the high nose and deep face looked like Michelangelo''s hand carved. The toughness and softness perfectly blend together, with a smiling mouth. People can''t stop feeling good, but they can feel unique pride and self-confidence.


    Especially those lazy eyes, like the clear sky after rain, gleaming with perseverance and wisdom in their brightness.


    "Ryan!"


    Before the phone was connected, the girl''s shout rang at the school gate. When he put his index finger to his mouth playfully, a pair of rolled eyes must be greeted.


    The **** the opposite side grew a lot taller, but still so thin. Her curly brown hair was tied into a simple ponytail. With her footsteps tossing around, the face that gradually opened up was covered with incomparable splendor. Smile.


    The moment I saw Ryan, the pair of brown eyes revealed unbearable joy, and the frequency under his feet kept accelerating, almost rushing over.


    "Nate, it''s been a long time."


    As always. The two opened their arms tacitly and hugged each other gently. Ryan patted the **** the back and pulled her pony tail playfully.


    "Are you finally willing to go back to America?"


    Although the words were thorny as before, Natalie touched Ryan''s chin with her forehead affectionately after the hug.


    "Can''t hide in an Australian farm forever?"


    Natalie knew that after last year''s sat test, Ryan went to the Kidman family farm in Australia for vacation. He is indeed a bit clever and the media all over the United States are looking for him. Who would have thought that he hid in the Australian countryside.


    "How tall are you?"


    After the two separated. Natalie looked up at Ryan. Can''t help but wrinkle his nose.


    "Six feet."


    In fact, Ryan had said a little less, he was about 184 centimeters in the metric system.


    "It has become the former''spindle'' again!"


    Listening to Natalie''s words, Ryan could only smile helplessly, he was indeed a lot taller than the five-foot-four-inch Natalie.


    "Get in the car. Otherwise, you will be watched!"


    Ryan realized that a lot of people were paying attention, and Natalie should be a celebrity in the school.


    "Hi George, it''s been a long time since I saw you."


    Getting into the car, Natalie beckoned to the driver''s seat, George put on sunglasses and smiled coolly, "Hello. Nat."


    "Ryan! Where are we going."


    It''s probably been a long time since I saw each other. Natalie was obviously very happy. When Ryan closed the car door and sat next to her, she bumped her forehead against his thick shoulder. "My Mr. Billionaire, shouldn''t you be a treat?"


    "Then what do you want to eat?" Ryan made a driving gesture to George.


    "Sea snail, Yubari melon, Matsutake mushroom, golden caviar!" Natalie greeted with a smile. Ryan naturally knew that she was joking and said deliberately, "Really? Then I call someone to tell someone to go. order."


    "Come on, Ryan." Natalie rolled her eyes and nudged him slightly. "What are you doing in New York?"


    "I made a special trip to see you, Nat?"


    As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Natalie snorted, "Will you make a special trip to see me?"


    "Of course, I made a special trip to see Nat and do something else by the way." Ryan said honestly.


    "It''s the other way around?" Natalie said with a thorn. "You have been in Australia for so long, why didn''t you think of coming back to see me?"


    Scratching his cheek, Ryan closed his mouth. It''s been a long time since he saw each other, so let''s save the quarrel for later.


    "George, take time to meet Garcia and tell him that he is doing well, and..."


    Ryan glanced at Natalie who was looking out the car window, and said vaguely, "How to reward, you understand."


    "Well, I see." George nodded into the rearview mirror.


    "Is there any secret you can''t let me know?" Natalie leaned over and shrugged. "Forget it, I don''t want to know."


    In the chic restaurant, the music sounded melodiously and comfortably. Ryan and Natalie were sitting opposite each other, waving their forks and knives from time to time, sending the exquisite meal to the entrance. This is just a very ordinary lunch, but The carefully prepared dishes in the restaurant still made the two index fingers move.


    "This restaurant is good, Nat." Ryan swallowed the food. "I just found out with difficulty."


    "It''s fine." Natalie nodded. She didn''t ask for much food. "The taste of broccoli and mushrooms is very unique."


    "Because it has been processed with seafood soup."


    Ryan casually explained, and found that Natalie glared at herself suddenly, and couldn''t help asking, "Did I say something wrong?"


    "Ryan~"


    Natalie tilted her neck, put the knife and fork on the plate, and looked slantingly, "It was you who tempted me back then!"


    "Temptation?" Ryan twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he had never done anything excessive?


    "Isn''t it?" Natalie had begun to grind her teeth and tapped her head lightly. "I was ten or eleven then? It seems to be in the western restaurant of the Waldorf Astoria. You use Fallacies lied to me to eat barbecue..."


    "Come on, Nat!" Ryan understood and waved his hand. "You can grow so tall now because you started eating meat. If I didn''t help you in the first place, you would definitely grow less than five feet four. inch!"


    "Do you think you can lie to me now, Ryan?" Natalie leaned forward slightly, as if she wanted to show a sense of oppression. "I''m not the ignorant little girl back then. I''ve grown up, so I don''t use these outrageous words to fool me. I''m not as stupid as you think!"


    "Nate, we haven''t seen each other for half a year. Do you have to fight if you want to meet?" Ryan put down his knife and fork, folded his arms around his chest, and put on the appearance of fighting at any time, ready to educate this rebellious girl in words.


    "Too lazy to care about you!" Natalie picked up the knife and fork and cut off a huge steak in a vent. Sent into the mouth. Eat with relish.


    "That''s right. Has your driver''s license been taken?" At the age of sixteen, you can get your internship driver''s license. Natalie asked this, "I''m still waiting for you to take me for a drive."


    "No." Ryan stretched out his hands helplessly, "I have been practicing in Australia for a long time. But recently I have no time to take the exam."


    "What are you going to do again?"


    "Stay in New York for a few days, and then go to Scotland to visit. Nicole is filming there. This is her first time as a producer. I have to go and see it. My new movie is about to start filming, and I will go back to Los Angeles. Reunited with Stephen, and I want to apply to the Film School of the University of Southern California." Ryan roughly talked about his itinerary.


    "Nicole is a producer?" Natalie blinked, and the complexity on her face was fleeting. "Oh, I remember it, it seems that Scarlett is on the crew."


    "Scarlett? Your kid?" Ryan thought about it, and understood who Natalie was talking about. "She looks like Nicole''s daughter."


    "What about your new play? Is it the story of the liar in the letter?" Natalie changed the subject.


    "Yeah. It''s "There''s a Kind to Catch Me", dear Nat, do you want to go to Los Angeles with me." Ryan laughed happily, "I found an Oscar best director to take the shot, and found An Oscar actor partnered with me!"


    "What about the Titanic? Are you still not sure whether you want to play?" Natalie knows many things.


    "I have to wait for the filming of this film to be finished, and I have talked with James to decide." Ryan remembered the big ship that had been prepared for two years, and sighed, "Preliminary preparations will take time. The film will not start until summer at the earliest. ."


    The most troublesome thing about the Titanic is not the shooting, but the huge preparations and complicated post-production special effects. Needless to say, the former, James Cameron has almost become a Mexican citizen in the past two years, and the latter started last year. Experimental work on models, special effects, cg, etc.


    "What about you, Nat, when will the filming of "Everyone Say I Love You" start?"


    Although this is Woody Allen''s movie, Ryan is not worried. The investors and production manager are both from Miramax, and he has already said hello.


    "Just these few days, so..." Natalie stuck out her tongue playfully, "I can''t go to Los Angeles with you."


    "Come on, Nat, you didn''t even think about it."


    Ryan''s mobile phone rang at this time, but it was Scott Swift when it was connected.


    "Ryan, all the formalities have been completed, just waiting for you to sign."


    "Great."


    Even as calm as Ryan, there was an undisguised joy on his face at this time, "Good job, Scott!"


    "It should be isn''t it?"


    "Okay, what time? Um... OK, no problem."


    When Ryan hung up the phone, Natalie couldn''t help being a little curious. She knew that as Ryan got older, there were fewer and fewer trips and more and more calmness. What would make him so happy?


    "What happened, Ryan?"


    "Nate, do you want to be a superhero? Invisible girl, black widow, Peggy Carter can choose whatever you want." Ryan smiled very brightly, and the person sitting opposite was not an outsider, so you don''t need to cover up too much, "If you are not satisfied , You can let the comic company recreate a female superhero based on your image."


    "Forget it, Ryan." Natalie darkened her face, and then asked, "You bought a comic company?"


    "Yes! Dear Nat, I am the surprised boss."

    Oh ~ grown up. . . . ()

 Chapter 198： Surprise

    After entering the 1990s, the American comic industry has developed rapidly and reached an unprecedented peak in 1993. However, after the peak is a trough, the market has continued to decline since then, and a large amount of capital has withdrawn from the industry. Ushered in the cold winter.


    Marvel comics and comics are both known as the two giants of the American comics industry. This time the market chill has naturally affected them.


    In the last few years of Ryan¡¯s previous life, whether in North America or in China, the big screen was full of amazing superheroes. They not only battled, but also formed the Avengers, robbed the world and snatched a lot of money. In your own pocket, it can be called a weapon for accumulating money.


    Just like in the previous life, Ryan prefers commercial movies to art movies. I have seen wonderful superhero movies many times. Although I don''t know their owners very well, I still know a little bit.


    In particular, he remembers that Marvel Comics experienced the darkest moment before dawn and filed for bankruptcy before the superhero of Marvel shined, but he didn''t know exactly when it was and what events happened in the middle.


    He is just a movie lover, and there are not many things he can remember and know, most of which are from the Internet, but he is not credible.


    So, Garcia Rodriguez¡¯s investigative consulting company was dispatched, and he has been watching Marvel Comics for the past two years, and a rough analysis report will be sent to George and Scott every time.


    At the same time, Scott is also paying attention to the entire comics market. After all, the environment has a great impact on the company.


    In 1995, the North American comics industry ushered in a new downturn. The sales of comics in the United States was only 400 million US dollars. Experts estimate that this number will continue to decline in the next three to four years.


    Just after the New Year, the comic book giant Marvel Comics officially filed for bankruptcy protection due to the withdrawal of several investors and poor management. Marvel came to a turning point.


    Ryan didn''t know how Marvel Comics came back to life from the previous life. However, Scott Swift contacted them at the first time, and issued an application for capital injection and good-faith acquisition, but was resisted by the surprise board of directors.


    This is very normal. Ryan is no longer an ignorant and ignorant teenager about finance and business. In the past two years, he has learned a lot of knowledge in this area from Scott. Although strictly speaking, he is still a first-time layman. Many of the doorways have enough understanding.


    Especially, he is sixteen years old. Some things don''t need to be shy away like when I was young. In addition, Scott has manipulated more and more funds over the years. Experiences and methods are also increasing.


    After a brief transoceanic telephone discussion, the two began a swift and dazzling action.


    The board of directors of a company is composed of several or even dozens of people. These people have their own interests and fronts and cannot stand together.


    At Ryan''s proposal. Scott first came into contact with the amazing soul character Stan Lee, and offered conditions that he could not refuse¡ªin the future, every character he participated in was made into a movie or TV series, and he would get 100% of the company¡¯s profits. Fifth-and clearly, this is a promise from Ryan Jenkins!


    The name Ryan Jenkins is synonymous with movie box office and profit!


    Then, I found another surprising soul, Avi Allard, the executive director and creative director.


    In fact, Garcia checked the Jew before Scott contacted him. He was surprised when he was in trouble last year. Submitted a reorganization reform draft to promote the reorganization of Marvel Comics into Marvel Entertainment, forming the five major industrial structures of film, copyright licensing, toys, the Internet, and comic publishing, but it was rejected.


    However, after analysis by the investment team headed by Scott, this plan is considered to be a highly feasible plan.


    then. Ryan has made a promise that if the other party supports their successful acquisition of Marvel, Avi Allard will become the company''s CEO and creative chief. This is also an irresistible condition.


    The collapse of the united front often starts from within. In the face of huge interests, how many people can persist?


    In addition to private actions, Scott stepped up the Jinyuan offensive. To put it bluntly, the decisive factor for the success of the acquisition is the funding.


    After the US$250 million offer was rejected, Scott used Ryan and Nicole¡¯s 5% of Paramount Pictures¡¯ shares to mortgage a bank loan of US$500 million, raising the offer to US$300 million. Some people have already Began to waver.


    Although Ryan''s actions were fast enough, Surprise still attracted the attention of other investors. Even though the comics industry has entered a trough, Surprise holds the copyright of more than 5,000 comic images.


    Ryan vaguely remembered that Surprise later changed the Chinese name to Marvel, which seemed to have been acquired by Walt Disney. The price was several billion US dollars. This is a piece of delicacy that cannot be given up.


    Just when other investors hesitated, Scott raised the offer to $450 million. In the face of such a price, the board of surprise, who had applied for bankruptcy protection, finally surrendered.


    The Lincoln motorhome belonging to Scott parked in front of the building at 417 Fifth Avenue. After George opened the car door, Ryan got out of the car first. He was dressed in a straight dark suit with stripes of the same color. Tie, standard professional attire.


    Next, as long as the signing is completed, he will have an absolute controlling stake in Marvel Comics.


    "Ryan, your height is about to catch up with me!" Scott led the way, and the two walked towards the middle of the building.


    "Come on, Scott, I''m definitely not as tall as you." Ryan is already satisfied with his current height. No matter how tall he is, it would be troublesome to star in a movie.


    Even though I have small assets now, the small golden man who wants to get it the most hasn''t got it yet.


    In the big conference room of Surprise, a large group of people are waiting for them. There are both Surprise seniors and lawyers and accountants from both sides.


    "Uncle Wilson, I have to trouble you to take a trip from Los Angeles yourself." Ryan gently hugged Mr. Lawyer, who was showing his aging, who was one of the people he trusted most.


    "Ryan, and Scott, well done!" Attorney Wilson patted their arms, "I have reviewed the contract, so just sign it."


    There was no flash, no press conference, no ceremony, and the signature was successfully completed under the notes of dozens of pairs of eyes.


    The lawyers and miscellaneous people from both sides soon left the meeting room. Except for Ryan, the rest were the surprised seniors.


    "I think everyone should know that Mr. Avi Allard will become the CEO of Surprise, and will reorganize Surprise in all aspects." Ryan sat at the top of the conference table without permission, the former ignorant teenager thoroughly. Completed the transformation, "I will not interfere with the company''s daily operations, but..."


    He glanced around slowly, "What I want is profit!"


    Surprise to the present level, of course, there are factors such as the general environment and investors withdrawing capital, but poor internal management and too many insignificant people are also one of the reasons.


    Ryan is not a philanthropist, so naturally he will not be polite. Avi Allard has laid out a detailed plan for the personnel and departments to be abolished.


    Of course, this kind of thing is naturally executed by his executive officer.


    After Avi Allard briefly talked about a series of plans, everyone''s eyes turned to Ryan again. Who could have imagined that this super child star, who had not been seen for more than two years, would become his own when he reappeared in front of them. boss.


    "Mr. Stan Lee...well, Stan!" Ryan looked at the father of the famous superhero, "You should be ready to let your children appear on the big screen."


    "Ryan, you mean..." The old man was obviously agitated.


    "Don''t worry!" Ryan waved his hand and said to everyone, "The focus of your next work is to take back the various copyrights of the comics. I only want the copyright, and don''t need any excuses!"


    "Superman and Batman have occupied the market for superhero movies for too long, and it will be our turn to surprise us in the next twenty years!"


    Before everyone reacted, Ryan looked at Avi Allard, "Peter Parker is the top priority. Even if it is going to court with Sony Columbia Pictures, the copyright of the movie must be taken back."


    "This is a bit difficult..." I didn''t know who it was, and he murmured.


    "It''s nothing more than an exchange of interests!" Ryan glanced coldly, and the man shrank his neck subconsciously. "If Sony Columbia is not interesting, then drag the lawsuit down, and the Japanese who we don''t have don''t want to get it!"


    Looking at Peter Parker''s ¡®Old Father¡¯, the old man¡¯s face was a little embarrassed. After all, this is one of his favorite characters.


    Ryan removed the seriousness on his face and smiled slightly at him, "Of course, this is only the last choice."


    "Ryan, which superhero do you think we should put on the big screen first?" The old man Stan Lee seems to be unable to wait. This is not only his wish, but also his income.


    "Don''t worry, we have to wait for the movie cg technology to become more mature." Ryan put his hand on the conference table and stretched out three fingers, "I promise, up to two years!"


    Out of Surprise Ryan was relieved. The few opportunities he remembered in his mind were seized. Although the process was a bit tortuous, fortunately, there were no accidents.


    The investigation and consulting company that was established at the time played a big role, turning Ryan provided vague fragments into detailed information, which gave Scott Capital the opportunity to operate.


    Pixar doesn''t have to bother too much. After the listing and financing, it has enough development funds. Blizzard Entertainment and Blue Sky Studios have also entered the right track after his capital injection again.


    As for Marvel comics, as long as the ship is over, the cg technology displayed will naturally make people think that the era of superheroes has arrived.


    And Yahoo, a small company with an annual turnover of only one million dollars, will become a weapon for grabbing money after going public.


    The biggest trouble is still the $500 million debt. It is the first time that I owe the bank so much money, but I don¡¯t have to worry too much. After all, I signed a long-term contract, which will be easily repaid in the next few years.


    ps:


    The other two need some time to modify~()

 Chapter 199： Dont do the 2nd

    Roseland, also known as the Roseland, is one of the small satellite towns around New York. After a brief shot of "Everyone Says I Love You" here, he will leave New York. This will be Woody Allen. Some movies were not shot in New York.


    Ok! Ryan is not interested in Woody Allen or anything. He is not the other''s movie lover in his past or present life, and he has no intention of dealing with him. He is just a class to explore Natalie.


    After dealing with the surprise and the follow-up, Ryan will soon leave New York, which can be regarded as saying goodbye to Natalie.


    "Ryan, there are reporters."


    Before getting off the car, George reminded that Ryan waved his hand indifferently, and he had no long-term disability. Is there anything wrong with seeing people? Do you want to hide from those reporters forever?


    "Let''s go."


    With a pair of sunglasses stuck on his face, Ryan walked openly toward the place where the crew was. There was an unusually wide intersection. Several trailers were parked on the side. Many people were watching, some of them hanging around their necks. Looking at the camera, either a reporter or a paparazzi.


    Ryan was a lot taller, and his appearance was much more mature. There was a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. In addition, the reporters focused their attention on the crew, and went to the periphery of the crew smoothly.


    It was filming inside, and Ryan had always been a person who understood the rules, standing there without a word, waiting for the end of the filming.


    He glanced roughly, Ryan still had a little admiration for Woody Allen''s appeal, and the cast and crew gathered big names.


    Edward Norton, Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, and Natalie, of course, Natalie is just a minor supporting role.


    After hearing the old man in the director''s chair call to stop, Ryan waved his hand to George and walked straight forward, but he was stopped by the staff before he could get far.


    "Sir. This is the set, you can''t go in."


    "Ah, yes, I''m here to visit the class." Ryan shrugged helplessly, "I''m Miss Portman''s friend."


    "Miss Natalie''s friend?" The man looked at him up and down, feeling strangely familiar.


    "Drew!"


    The closest to him was Drew Barrymore, and Ryan had to beckon her.


    "Who, who called me?"


    Drew turned his head and quickly fixed his gaze on Ryan, "Rui..."


    "Shh~"


    Put your index finger in front of your mouth first. Ryan pointed to the reporter on the other side. Drew hurriedly shut his mouth. Said to the staff member and took Ryan into the shooting location.


    "Are you here to visit my class?" Drew opened his eyes and smiled, and then he understood, "Natalie Portman?"


    "The answer is correct. No extra points!" Ryan shook his finger, "Well, Drew, you keep busy."


    "I really don''t see anything special about that girl. It''s neither cute nor beautiful, but also proud like a peacock." Drew muttered.


    "Shut up, Drew!" Ryan glared at the lawless guy, and Drew shouted at the other side, "Natalie, someone is looking for it."


    This time. Many people were disturbed.


    "Who¡­¡­"


    Natalie turned out from behind a bunch of props, saw Ryan''s eyes lit up, and quickly walked over, "Why are you here? Didn''t you just come here in the afternoon?"


    "The matter is finished ahead of time." Ryan had only Natalie in his eyes, "I want to come and see you soon."


    "when are you leaving¡­¡­"


    "Hey~Hello~" Drew''s dissatisfied voice came next to him. "Should you two say thank you to me?"


    After speaking, Drew''s gaze swept back and forth over Ryan and Natalie, revealing a gossip look.


    "you guys¡­¡­"


    "To shut up!"


    Ryan didn''t bother to talk to him anymore, pulled Natalie up and left, "Stop talking to her, this guy likes to mess around too much."


    "I haven''t talked to her except to say hello." Natalie followed and curled her lips. She didn''t like her since a few years ago.


    "Do you need me to introduce you to the crew?" she asked when she walked to where Natalie was resting.


    "When are you going to end?" Ryan was not interested in other people, and just came over to visit Natalie.


    "It''s early, the crew has a lot of scenes at this intersection, otherwise it won''t apply for road closure."


    Natalie took the water from the assistant and handed it to Ryan, "If you feel bored, I will ask for leave from Mr. Allen. We will go around. My scene has been completed. This small town is very beautiful."


    From the bottom of her heart, she didn''t want Ryan to continue to contact Drew Barrymore.


    "okay then."


    "You wait for me here for a while."


    But not long after Natalie left, Drew flashed over, his expression full of curiosity, and said teasingly, "Ryan, where''s your little lover?"


    "Shut up, Drew, Nat is just my good friend." Ryan narrowed his eyes.


    "Okay, okay!" Drew immediately raised his hand. After having known each other for so many years, she is very clear about some of Ryan''s habits, "Where did you hide some time ago?"


    "I went to Nicole''s hometown." Ryan suddenly thought of other things, "Aren''t you producing "Scream 2"? Why did you get here?"


    Last year, Drew established his own film company, Flower Pictures. Ryan is also one of the shareholders. His first work is to continue to cooperate with Jenkins Pictures to film the sequel of "Scream".


    "There is Director Vinci, there is nothing to worry about." Drew didn''t care.


    "Well, Drew, you will be responsible for finding a suitable director for the third episode in the future."


    David Fincher after "The Seven Deadly Sins" is not the old David Fincher. He can continue to control the second part of the guide, or it depends on his friendship with Ryan and his high share.


    "Come on, Ryan, don''t you think we should discuss cooperation in the next film?" Drew was quite businessman-like at this time.


    "I have time to discuss it." Ryan had already seen Natalie approaching. "Let''s do it, Drew."


    After Natalie came back, she raised her eyes and looked at Drew Barrymore. She didn''t say anything, but silently bowed her head to pack her bag, and ordered something to the female assistant from time to time.


    There was a sudden noise not far away. Taking advantage of her height, Ryan found out that it was Julia Roberts who did not know when she walked out of this temporary set. The reporters and fans immediately surrounded her.


    "Let''s go quickly. Nat."


    This was a good opportunity to leave quietly. Ryan picked up Natalie and walked out of the intersection from the trailer. After a glance, no one should have noticed them.


    The two of them trot for a while, making two turns, and after they could no longer hear the noise over there, they stopped. After all, Natalie was a girl, and she was already out of breath.


    "Slow... slower. Ryan." Natalie pulled his hand.


    "You should exercise more. Nat." Ryan slowed down.


    "I have been exercising. This is just the inherent weakness of women." Natalie was used to lifting the bar.


    "Okay, what''s so fun here?"


    You are already an adult, so don''t care about it with little girls. Ryan said in his heart.


    "Walking here, there is an old street here. It''s very quiet, it''s all 19th-century buildings." The two turned a few more turns and turned into a secluded road with old buildings on both sides. In the Victorian style, it is completely different from the appearance of the shops in the first two streets.


    "Such an old street is really rarely seen in North America." Ryan looked around, there were some handicraft shops on the roadside. It also looks very old.


    "After the filming these days, I will come over with Mina. The atmosphere here can calm people down quickly." Mina is Natalie''s bodyguard and assistant.


    "Nate, let''s go in and take a look."


    Ryan turned to the side of the road and walked into a craft shop. Inside are some typical Western-style artworks and decorations. From the outside, they are not much different from the collections of the Metropolitan Museum.


    Ok! Ryan admitted that he didn''t understand art appreciation at all, and he had no interest in those ancient things.


    Natalie was a little better than him. The two of them looked at the shelves on both sides as they walked. The middle-aged boss behind the counter just looked up and then lowered his head to get busy with his own affairs.


    "Hey, Ryan, look, what is this!" Natalie pulled him.


    "What did you find?" When Ryan turned to look, she found that Natalie was holding a small wooden stick in her hand and was tapping the shelf with interest, still muttering something in her mouth.


    "Come on, Nat, even if it''s made of vine wood, there won''t be a dragon''s heartstring in it." Ryan can naturally understand what Natalie is saying, "My know-it-all lady."


    "I don''t want to be Hermione? Granger." Natalie put down her stick and muttered.


    "Then what do you want to do? Audrey Hepburn second?" Ryan deliberately joked, "That''s what good multimedia calls you."


    "I will only be Natalie first, not anyone''s second! Anyone!" The proud girl stared at Ryan very seriously.


    "Well, then, the great Miss Perfect."


    "Ryan!" Natalie squeezed these words from between her teeth, hitting the generous chest with her smooth forehead, "I really want to bite you."


    "I''m fancy, I can buy it for you." Ryan quickly changed the subject, he knew that Natalie was more than just talking.


    "Forget it I am not interested in these."


    After leaving the handicraft shop, the two people circled the ancient street. Although they would quarrel a few words from time to time, the crisp laughter sounded more often.


    "Your plane tomorrow?"


    Finding a street bench, Ryan and Natalie sat down, and after a moment of silence, the girl suddenly asked.


    "Didn''t I tell you?" Ryan was a little strange.


    "It doesn''t matter if you say it again."


    Seeing the girl''s somewhat melancholy face, Ryan laughed, "Nat, I''m just going to the Kingdom of Great Britain, don''t you need to be so hard to separate?"


    "It''s hard to tell who you are." Natalie hit his shoulder hard with her forehead.


    "Okay, dear Nat, it''s an information society now, and we can get in touch anytime." Ryan rubbed her brown hair, but Natalie glared at him, "I''m not a kid anymore, don''t Rub my hair casually.)

 Chapter 200： Miss Kidman

    A faint mist surrounds the manor house, and the moist air seems to be full of musty smell. In Scotland in the early spring, the sun is so extravagant that it refuses to show a trace of it, so that the entire sky is always shrouded in haze.


    Just after a long shot, Nicole Kidman didn''t take a break immediately, tightly tightening the purple old-fashioned coat, walked to the back of the camera, and discussed with the director about the shooting of tomorrow.


    This is her first time as a producer. As the most powerful person on the crew, although she respects the authority of the director on the set, the director named Alessandro Amamba is also a newcomer, and many things are Two people need to discuss and deal with it.


    Besides, she can stop thinking of that person only if she is busy.


    The crew started to close, Nicole talked to the other party for a while, and then walked to her makeup trailer.


    Except for the necessary filming, the crew rarely enters the villa. This villa was leased after Nicole¡¯s use of the relationship. It belongs to the Spencer family, a veteran nobleman in Scotland. Many of the things in it are works of art of a certain age. If there is a loss, it is not easy to explain to Diana.


    Entering her makeup trailer, Nicole sat in front of the vanity mirror, only to find that the makeup artist and assistant were not there, and she couldn''t help frowning.


    However, seeing the picture frame placed in a conspicuous position, Nicole dissipated the anger that had just risen, and smiled at the sixteen-year-old horseback riding boy in the photo.


    "Ryan~"


    Like a young girl in her first love, Nicole smiled sweetly, and the one she loved the most had really grown up.


    Then she sighed again. Since two years ago, the relationship between her and Ryan has undergone a fundamental change, but neither she nor Ryan wanted to make this relationship public in a short period of time, as the two of them. And fame, that will surely cause a huge storm.


    "When can we hold hands and walk on the Avenue of Stars?"


    No one likes to hide, and she is no exception. God knows how much she wants to tell everyone that the whole world can share her happiness and joy.


    reputation? The maverick in the past two years has caused a lot of media dissatisfaction.


    status? He is a director of Paramount Pictures and a shareholder of Pixar. After Pixar went public, he has stood at the top of Hollywood.


    wealth? The stock assets under the name are hundreds of millions of dollars, many of which are still rising in value, and money has gradually become a digital game.


    Even if the media across the United States bombarded themselves, that''s nothing, Hollywood has a terrible reputation, and there are not a few stars who win prizes and get soft hands.


    Of course, she believed what Ryan had said. Sooner or later they will stand in the sun.


    time. She knew that Ryan needed time. Only time can he become strong. In the past two years, he has changed his previously indifferent attitude and began to study and operate frantically. Isn''t it just for their future?


    Just when Nicole was preparing to remove makeup. A pair of big hands quietly stretched out from behind, around her slender waist, Nicole¡¯s light blue eyes bloomed with an unusually bright brilliance, she had already seen from the vanity mirror who the person was. .


    The slender hand flipped lightly, and an ordinary pale yellow wild flower did not get into her collar. Nicole smiled even more sweetly looking at this wild flower that was still stained with moisture.


    This is the flower Ryan gave her personally. Even if there are many such flowers in the manor house trembling in the cold wind.


    Standing behind Nicole, Ryan lowered his head and kissed that Bairun ear, then squeezed Nicole''s waist, and then whispered, "Nicole. Are you still losing weight? Didn''t I say it? Did you fire your stylist!"


    "Shut up, Ryan!" Nicole glared fiercely at the sky blue eyes in the mirror, easily freed her hands, turned around and stood up, looked at him up and down, then said, "When will it be? Scotland? Why don''t you call me?"


    Just as it was a few years ago, her tone was stern and infinitely pampering.


    "Come on, Nicole." Ryan is no longer Ryan. He has grown up. "Don''t forget, I am not only the screenwriter of "Small Island Cry", but also one of the investors and producers. Come and have a look. Do I need to ask you for instructions?"


    "Really, Ryan?" The smile on Nicole''s face disappeared, and she folded her chest with one hand and nodded her forehead. "Let me think about it. You left Australia half a month ago and stayed in Los Angeles for a week. , Stayed in New York for another week, and then came to Scotland...hah, it turns out I was only ranked third."


    "Nicole, do you really want to care about this kind of thing?" Ryan had to explain, "I''m staying in Los Angeles because I want to discuss the filming with Stephen. Going to New York is to buy Marvel..."


    Having said that, Ryan closed his mouth and explained it to a woman who didn''t want to be reasonable. Was it useful? Besides, Nicole''s dissatisfaction is that she gradually took away the dominance between the two.


    Nicole was still staring at him, quite like Natalie when she was a child.


    Well, since two years ago, I have been growing up and becoming mature, but Nicole has become more and more naive... Well, there is a tendency to degenerate into a young child.


    "Okay, dear, it''s time for you to remove your makeup." Ryan simply pushed Nicole back on the chair, "Do you want me to help you?"


    "If you still want to go to Australia!" Nicole''s words were squeezed out between his teeth.


    "Well then!" He didn''t want to be driven to Australia by her because of a momentary impulse.


    Ryan kissed her lightly on her cheek again, and then wanted to taste the taste of the red lips, but was pushed back by Nicole, "Be careful, you will be found."


    "They have been distracted by me a long time ago." Ryan murmured and sat on the other side.


    "No wonder the makeup artist and my assistant are gone."


    Ryan shrugged and sat down in the chair honestly. It''s better to pay attention to some things now.


    "Did the shooting go well?" He stared at Nicole closely, and asked casually.


    "It''s not very good. Although the plot and scenes are not complicated, it is always difficult to achieve satisfactory results." Nicole took off the purple old-fashioned coat, showing her slender and beautiful figure. "Fortunately, Ms. Melanie is An experienced producer has helped me a lot."


    "Turn around." Nicole waved to Ryan, probably about to change clothes.


    "Don''t be so stingy, okay?" Ryan sat steadily.


    "Go outside or go back and choose by yourself." Nicole gave him no room for bargaining.


    "It''s not that I haven''t seen it." Ryan muttered and turned to the other side.


    Although they expressed their hearts to each other, the two still kept the last line, even though they were on the verge of collapse several times in the past two years.


    He is sixteen years old, he is three inches taller than me, and there are no traces of immature on his precocious face, I...


    Damn it! What are you thinking! Nicole Kidman quickly changed his clothes, shook his head vigorously, and temporarily threw some thoughts behind his head.


    "Nicole, during the weekend, shall we go to Spain for a holiday?"


    It''s a pity that Miss Kidman didn''t understand what he meant, shook her head, and said helplessly, "It''s impossible for the Spencer family to lease this manor to us for too long to catch up on the weekend."


    "Okay, come back."


    Hearing Nicole''s voice, Ryan turned around and looked her up and down, "You are so beautiful, Nicole."


    Nicole took off the costumes of the 1940s and changed back to modern attire. Black casual clothes with old-fashioned pan-flower heads, although nondescript, they have a unique style.


    "Really, I think so too."


    Is there anything else that can be more happier than a loved one praising yourself for being beautiful? Nicole came over and pulled Ryan up from the chair, "Come on, I''ll take you to see the members of the crew, you are the boss."


    "Come on, Nicole."


    Out of the trailer, Ryan hurriedly took a step and walked side by side with Nicole. He was obviously taller than the Australian girl. "Don''t forget, half of the $20 million investment in the movie is your own pocket."


    "There are some things you never say, but I always understand in my heart." Nicole suddenly smiled, with a touch of helplessness in the sweetness, "Ryan, I can''t rely on you for the rest of my life, right?"


    "Why not?" Ryan said naturally, "You were helping me when I was a kid. When I grow up, it''s my turn to help you, right? Let''s talk..."


    Ryan lowered his voice and said firmly, "You are my girlfriend!"


    Nicole''s eyes were bent, and the corners of her mouth were raised high. The light blue eyes were full of Ryan''s shadow. When she turned her head, she just saw the shiny sky blue eyes, and the two eyes were stuck tightly. Together, even if it is their steps, they can''t deflect each other at all.


    "Trust me, Nicole." Ryan continued, UU reading www. uukanshu.com "I will definitely make you ascend to the highest peak, "Kojima Cry" is just the beginning."


    In fact, he knew that the three best supporting actresses slipped away from his hands, and Nicole felt somewhat regretful, especially for the third time, if he put all his efforts on public relations, he was almost 60% sure.


    In the eyes of all Hollywood movie stars, the little golden man is very important, even if some people say disdain.


    "Do you think that the role of Grace can get me a nomination for best actress?" Nicole naturally understood what Ryan meant.


    "of course."


    Ryan told a recognized fact, "The more abnormal, neurotic, and crazy a female character is, the easier it is to be nominated or awarded an Oscar, isn''t it?"


    "Yes, it''s a pity that my appearance is still very beautiful this time." Nicole cast aside her lips helplessly. In the past few years, film critics have often talked about her beauty.


    "Really?" Ryan''s eyes slid down, and then said in a low voice, "May I go to your room to appreciate it at night, beautiful Miss Kidman?" ()

 Chapter 201： Island Cry

    If it''s at her own home in Los Angeles, Nicole might think about it, but in a crowded location, she doesn''t have to think about it.


    Seeing Nicole''s rolled eyes, Ryan shrugged playfully and followed her to the crew''s dining car.


    A large area around the manor house is the private domain of the Spencer family, mostly woods and farmland. Most of the crew¡¯s food and accommodation are carried out in special trailers, and a small number of staff live in the manor. Servant room.


    Ryan hasn¡¯t intervened since he handed over "Small Island Cry" to Nicole. Although the filming team is employed by Jenkins Pictures, the crew is basically in charge of her and Melanie Sloan, and Nicole But I also enjoy being a producer.


    Nicole took Ryan and introduced several major members of the crew, such as the new director, such as the little actor who played her son, and so on, and finally came to her table.


    "This is Ms. Sloan, I don''t think I need to introduce it?"


    Of course, Ryan knew the person Nicole said. After the shooting of "Killer Leon", he joined Jenkins Pictures and became a professional producer.


    "Hi, Melanie, it''s been a long time."


    "Hello, Ryan, I haven''t seen you for more than a year, you are so tall."


    The two have seen each other several times, and they still have some impressions of each other. After Ryan said hello, he looked at her side, it was a blonde girl.


    She was standing awkwardly next to her mother, looking at Ryan, she seemed a little disturbed, probably hesitating whether to say hello.


    "Hey, Scarlett, do you remember me?" Ryan mentioned the mutual friend between the two parties, "Nateto, I greet you."


    "Ryan, you are so tall..."


    The girl looked up at Ryan, "I can''t imagine that you are more handsome than before."


    "Scarlett has grown up, and he knows whether boys are handsome..."


    Nicole gently rubbed her blonde hair. Asked Ryan, "What do you want to eat? The conditions may be a bit rudimentary."


    "Whatever you want."


    The crew is out on location, naturally it won''t be too rich in terms of dining, Ryan doesn''t care, as long as Nicole is around, it doesn''t matter what you eat.


    "My role is Nicole''s daughter... Well, how do I say, this is a very individual girl, it is not easy to play her well, although some people privately say it is because of my mother. I just got it. In this role, I think I did pretty well."


    At the dinner table, the four people were eating and whispering something. When Ryan asked about her role, Scarlett Johansson seemed very confident, "Nicole can prove it for me, although my acting skills are better than Nicole. It''s a lot worse."


    "You have done a great job, Scarlett."


    Anyone would be happy to be flattered by a girl. What''s more, Nicole has always liked children very much, "Among girls of the same age, I have never seen anyone who performs better than you."


    "Nate..." Scarlett lowered her head.


    "She doesn''t count." Ryan was talking this time. "How many girls can do her level?"


    "That''s right, if every little actor compares with you and Naterbi, that would be too shocking." Scarlett raised her head again, "but. I will catch up."


    "My dear, you''d better play the role now." Melanie smiled and glanced at his daughter.


    "Scarlett has done very well, as long as it continues to be maintained."


    From Nicole''s words. Ryan could hear that she was really satisfied with the performance of this New York girl.


    He heard Nicole mention that although this role had been auditioned on a small scale, a few people performed better than Scarlett Johansson, but Nicole finally finalized her. Hollywood is like this, the difference is not too much. Under circumstances, the opportunity will definitely be left to one''s own people.


    In the next few days, Ryan stayed steadily in the crew and acted as a temporary assistant for Nicole. Everyone knew about their sibling relationship. Seeing the close interaction between the two, they didn¡¯t feel it. Abnormal, but feel that their feelings are better than the rumors.


    "I miss the taste of chocolate pie a bit."


    This is what Nicole accidentally said during the filming. Ryan immediately drove dozens of miles¡ªGeorge was driving¡ªand bought freshly baked chocolate pie from Edinburgh''s most prestigious pastry shop.


    "I''m just talking casually, Ryan..."


    This kind of inconspicuous little thing is best reflected in the status of each other''s hearts. When Nicole got the chocolate pie with the remaining warmth, there was an uncontrollable excitement in her expression. If it weren''t for the crowds of the crew, it must Will plunge into Ryan''s arms and whisper his inner feelings.


    "As long as you are happy." Ryan is still the old saying a few years ago, simple but sincere.


    People always grow up and always change. Time is sometimes the most ruthless, and sometimes it is the most passionate. In the past ten years of getting together, the deep and complex feelings between the two can be understood by outsiders. .


    The filming of the crew just started not long ago, and only leased the manor for three months. For Hollywood-style filming, it is undoubtedly a little nervous. Overtime has become a necessary choice. Although the budget is only 20 million US dollars, it is not for " For movies like "Cry on the Island", it''s enough.


    The biggest expense of the crew is Nicole¡¯s remuneration. Her single film remuneration has already exceeded 15 million U.S. dollars. However, the investment in the film is mainly to form Jenkins Pictures and her personal pockets. The remuneration is only a nominal amount. Friendship price only.


    Besides, as long as the movie sells like all of Ryan''s works over the years, she will definitely get rich returns.


    Standing behind the camera, Ryan didn¡¯t say a word, but watched Nicole¡¯s performance quietly. She was wearing an old-fashioned 1940s clothes, she looked unusually slender and tall, and her pale face showed neurotic madness. Grace''s mother''s inner world is vividly displayed.


    Although it has the similar structure of "Sixth Sense", the theme of this movie is far less profound and moving than that of "Sixth Sense". When Ryan was writing the script, he underwent a lot of operations to make the specious dark line. It is clearer that in addition to the main line of family and affection, it also highlights the reflection on what kind of trauma war will bring to an ordinary family.


    Of course, both Ryan and Nicole have a clear understanding of the fact that this movie cannot surpass "Sixth Sense" in terms of word of mouth and box office.


    In fact, Ryan has also made some adjustments to the role. All the plots of the movie are for the heroine Grace. All supporting roles are just her foil, which makes this woman more nervous and full of maternal love. Okay. Let Nicole achieve an explosive performance.


    It is almost impossible to get the best actress with such a role, but there is always some hope of getting the nomination with public relations.


    If you want to stand in that position worthy of the name, qualifications, fame, acting skills, public relations and even the box office represented are equally important. Ryan doesn''t want Nicole to be put on the hat.


    "Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, my dear, where would you like to see? Edinburgh Castle or the Royal Mile?"


    In an old-fashioned coffee shop full of British style, Nicole introduced the scenic spots of the city to Ryan while drinking coffee.


    Although Nicole rejected Ryan''s proposal to go to Spain, she still found half a day on the weekend to accompany him to visit Edinburgh.


    "Sit here for a while, I''m leaving at night, I don''t want to go anywhere." Ryan also took a sip of coffee.


    "This is not the vitality that young people should have, Ryan, are you declining before you are old?" Nicole was witty on her face, and her tone was full of teasing.


    "Really, dear Nicole." Ryan leaned forward and whispered in her ear.


    "Apart from these, what else do you think?" Nicole gave him a fierce look.


    "Don''t say you didn''t think about it." These words are just talking about Ryan, his face is comparable to the Arc de Triomphe, "I''m sixteen years old, Nicole..."


    If it weren¡¯t for Nicole¡¯s accumulated prestige since childhood and the troubles he might bring, he would be more proactive in certain things. After all, after the age of sixteen, he already had considerable autonomy, and Nicole would no longer use certain power A minor who can completely suppress him.


    The two of them sat in the cafe for an afternoon. It has been almost ten years. There are still endless topics between them. Whenever they talk about interesting things, they always laugh at the same time, and at the same time sigh, the tacit understanding seems to come from the soul. The same frequency in.


    "Hey, Ryan, look over there, the woman sat there all afternoon and wrote all afternoon, it''s really like you before."


    Following Nicole''s eyes, Ryan tilted his head and looked to the rear. It was a blond woman with a child. She was ill at the desk and seemed to be writing something.


    "Okay, Nicole, when did you become so curious?" Ryan turned around and looked at his watch. "It''s almost time. We should go to the airport."


    "okay then."


    While talking, Nicole put on Ryan''s sunglasses, hat, and scarf one by one, and quickly disguised herself as she walked out of this remote partition.


    The luck of the two was good enough that they didn''t meet a reporter until they entered the airport or it should be said that Edinburgh is not London after all.


    Of course, their luck ends here. Ryan has just changed his boarding pass and is about to say goodbye to Nicole. Three or four people with cameras have hurriedly followed.


    "It''s Nicole Kidman. Some time ago, there were rumors that she came to the UK to film. I didn''t expect it to be in Edinburgh... These people clamored unscrupulously, and they could hear it ten feet away.


    "Wow, she is so beautiful! Hey, who is the man next to her? Her boyfriend?"


    "Very familiar...it seems...it''s not right, the height is not right..." The paparazzi with a quick mind understood it immediately, "Guys, we are developed, that''s Ryan Jenkins! Grown up Ryan Jenkins!"


    "Yes, that''s right! It''s him who has grown taller and handsome..."


    "Two hundred thousand dollars are in hand... God, today is really our lucky day." (To be continued...)


    ps: There are only two changes today. I apologize to the friends who voted for the update. It will explode before the overthrow! ()

 Chapter 202： new role

    The U.S. media did not expect that the person they wanted to find by digging three feet in the ground would have their counterparts on the other side of the Atlantic first dig it out. Although the picture in the Sun newspaper is a bit vague, the six-foot-tall youth is also a bit strange, but they can be with Ni. But Kidman stands so close together, who else besides Ryan Jenkins.


    It doesn''t matter if they lose the exclusive, they have a geographical advantage. A large number of paparazzi flooded Beverly Hills and surrounded the door of the villa that had long been made public.


    Not to mention that Ryan Jenkins will lose news value without appearing in two years. Take a look at "Toy Story", which has not been downgrade in North America. Its box office is advancing toward 300 million U.S. dollars, driving Pixar¡¯s stock price to more than 60 U.S. dollars. .


    Is the 16-year-old with a net worth of more than one billion US dollars not enough to attract attention?


    Not to mention the reporters who run entertainment, the paparazzi found that there are many financial circle reporters at the door of the villa.


    "Don''t you know? Ryan Jenkins just bought Marvel Comics for 450 million US dollars. God, this is really a crazy deal." A financial reporter said with emotion.


    "Billions of net worth? Your news is too late. As far as I know, the foundation under his name holds a large number of IT stocks, including Microsoft, Cisco, Dell, etc., which are now hot stocks." Well-informed reporters convey the so-called inside story.


    "How much money does he have? I don''t want to worry about it. It''s a matter in your financial industry. I just want to know where he has been in the past two years, whether he has dated with girls, whether he has a girlfriend, and if a girl comes out to break the news..." What entertainment reporters care about most is gossip.


    "I heard that he is going to shoot a new film with Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. He is still the leading actor. Think about it. He hasn''t appeared on the big screen in a few years? We should be in Dig deep in this area." Someone suggested so.


    "By the way, after the British media pictures were published, someone from the crew of "Everyone Says I Love You" broke the news, saying that Ryan Jenkins went to the crew to see Natalie Portman, would they? ..."


    "It''s unlikely. These two people have known each other for almost 7 years. You should have heard that they are always arguing. It is not a big problem for two young talents with high IQ to become friends. If they become a couple, it will be a match. It''s a disaster." Some reporters started an analysis in a polite manner.


    Since I returned to Los Angeles, there is still a movie to be filmed soon. Ryan will naturally not hide. The reporter paparazzi quickly took their long-awaited photos, but they received no response to their questions.


    After several days of observation and tracking. They found that Ryan Jenkins had changed a lot. The politeness of youth is gone. It was replaced by a young man who was somewhat arrogant and rebellious.


    "People will always grow up. Don''t think of me as an ignorant kid, don''t always ask questions that come up with your toes." This is the only thing he has said when facing them. The sarcasm is that fools can hear it.


    None of this prevents them from using capitalized close-ups to attract people''s attention.


    "Ryan Jenkins has grown up and has begun to rebel. The gentleness and humility of the past disappeared without a trace. All that is left is arrogance. We don''t understand, a child star who has been hiding for two years and is about to be forgotten. Why is he proud?"


    Some tabloids. The attack was launched naturally, and the target was already sixteen years old, which meant that their bottom line could be pulled down a lot.


    Of course, a slap will never be slapped, and only controversy can detonate this topic.


    "Why is it proud? It depends on the achievements. We put aside the financial circle, just talk about the film, the North American box office champion in 1994 was "Forrest Gump", and the champion in 1995 was definitely "Toy Story". Who is the author of the script, planning and conception of the work? Not to mention that the concept of "Forrest Gump" came from a novel. Who knows that it is a political satire novel, but Ryan uses a genius conception to adapt it into a novel. A timeless classic!"


    Don''t think that these tabloids are really talking for Ryan, they are just hot topics and increase sales.


    "Yes! I''m so excited! We are all so excited! Ryan is back, and the one we love is finally back! We do have something to say to him, Ryan, don''t hide behind the scenes, okay? You not only Only for yourself, you still belong to all of us!" This is what one of his fan organizations said in an interview with the TV station.


    "He is tall, handsome, determined and proud. We said that we don''t mind how Ryan looks when he grows up, but isn''t it better now? Ryan, I love you!" This is obviously a female fan.


    Regarding reporters, Ryan can ignore it, but fans still need to be comforted. After two years, those who still like him are undoubtedly relatively firm supporters.


    Soon, Ryan asked Pai Kingsley to borrow the pages of the Los Angeles Times and issue a public statement. It is roughly that most of the energy has been devoted to academics in the past two years, ignoring their feelings. I am extremely sorry. , I will start shooting a new movie soon, I will be one of the protagonists, and the movie will also strive to be released within this year.


    "I didn''t expect Stephen to find a real genius to play me."


    Ryan also did not expect that Spielberg would invite this legendary figure to his home, and he waved his hand quickly, "No, no, Mr. Abagonel, you are the real genius, I have seen it. After the biography, I admire your experience so much that people bought the film adaptation rights."


    That''s right, the new movie Ryan and Spielberg prepared is "A Kind of Catch Me: The True Story of the Most Extraordinary Liar", that is, "Getting Out of Law" or "Cat and Mouse Game."


    This movie is based on real people and real events. The protagonist is Frank Abagonel sitting opposite Ryan. It mainly tells about his 16 to 21 years old experience. For Ryan, it couldn¡¯t be more appropriate. .


    Caucasians are generally precocious, and Ryan is no exception. Even some older scenes can be easily solved through makeup.


    "Ryan, you continue to talk with Flack. I still have preliminary preparations to do." Spielberg said goodbye after he was responsible for the introduction.


    After Spielberg was sent away, Ryan and Abagonel sat opposite each other in the living room, discussing questions about roles.


    Although I have watched that movie many times in my previous life, and I have completed the script adaptation in this life, contact with real people is beneficial and harmless to figuring out the role.


    Ryan was full of expectations for the role of Frank Abagonel.


    "Mr. Abagonel, can you?" Ryan not only prepared a notebook, but also brought a small tape recorder.


    "Just call me Frank, Ryan. In my opinion, you are the real genius."


    Frank knocked on the armrest of the sofa and slowly said, "I was at that time, for now, I was a little kid at all. The reason I was able to succeed many times was because that was still a pure age. If you change it to the present, I''m afraid I don''t have any trouble at all."


    "Frank, do you know how I felt when I first met you? I think you are a very trustworthy person." Ryan said the truth, not only is this a cool handsome old man, but also Has a good faith appearance.


    "Is this a compliment, Ryan?" The old man smiled very elegantly, and it was difficult to associate the term''the most extraordinary liar of the 20th century'' with him.


    "Some of the questions I asked may be more... sharp, I hope you don''t mind." Ryan was about to get into the topic.


    "It''s okay." Frank shook his hand. "Those are not only memories, but also valuable experiences and lessons..."


    "What prompted you to make those incredible actions." Ryan filled him with coffee, humble like a student, this old man really has something to learn from.


    "It all started from the divorce of my parents. Facing the misfortune of my family, I chose to escape. Suddenly I found myself alone and helpless in the world. In order to survive, I must grow up as soon as possible and be creative. At first I just wanted to survive. Later, it gradually became a game. I was greedy for the satisfaction of getting what I wanted, so I got stuck in the game deeper and deeper, until I was completely defeated."


    ¡®Family breakdown is the main cause. Ryan wrote this sentence in his notebook, "Then have you told the truth to others in this process?"


    "The life of a liar is lonely. You can''t tell the truth to anyone."


    Just as Ryan nodded and was about to ask the next question, Frank suddenly said, "In fact, I told the truth once. I revealed my true identity to a former girlfriend. As a result, she immediately called the police. I almost I was caught, and since then, I can''t believe it!"


    Ryan seemed to have some sentiment, the pen fell on the notebook, ¡®the truth leads to betrayal! This is the end of telling the truth? ¡¯


    "What made you wake up to make these great achievements now?" Ryan continued to ask.


    "The family destroyed the innocent me, and the family also saved me. My current wife and I met after being released from prison. I confessed everything to her. Everyone opposed us being together. In the end we got married. "Old Frank''s face showed a happy and proud smile.


    ¡®Love saves life! This is another sentence written by Ryan.


    In the next few days, Ryan followed Frank Abagonel and made every effort to familiarize himself with and discover the role he was about to play. He was extremely serious about exploring the characters.


    As he once said, a good actor needs not only talent, but also hard work. Even if he has some insights about the role in his previous life, he needs his own style of acting.


    "He follows me every day, walking around the room, holding his notebook and tape recorder and constantly asking me questions. This is a very dedicated and hardworking young man. I understand why he can continue to be successful."


    Frank Abaganel told Spielberg before the crew started. ()

 Chapter 203： Actor partner

    As early as the shooting of "Schindler''s List" was over, Steven Spielberg made up his mind to create his own film company, and soon found a partner, he and David Geffen and Jeffrey. ? Katzenberg co-founded DreamWorks, ambition to make it a new Hollywood highlight.


    DreamWorks is completely different from Jenkins Films. The latter started out as an account-sharing cooperation, and its future development is still an account-sharing cooperation. Ryan did not have the idea of ??breaking the monopoly of the seven major film companies, while the former has been aimed at the position of Hollywood giants from the day it was founded Away.


    After more than a year of establishment, DreamWorks was not eager to start its own production plan. The Big Three are all human beings and understand the importance of laying a solid foundation.


    In the second half of 1995, Steven Spielberg received a package from Australia. The signature was Ryan Jenkins, the super genius who had disappeared from public view for a long time.


    The things in the package are not complicated, a book, a script, a stack of setting drawings.


    After watching it, Spielberg thought about it a little, and she ran aground on "Broken Lock Rage", which had not yet begun preparations, and changed the first DreamWorks movie to "Cat and Mouse Game."


    DreamWorks needs a successful pioneering work. Whether it is the former best-seller or Ryan Jenkins''s script, it is so in line with his appetite, and the recommendations are very pertinent, although it has to share the accounts with Jenkins Pictures. Cooperation, but Spielberg still selected the movie, and after contacting Tom Hanks, he started busy preparatory preparations.


    "Ryan, I noticed this book a long time ago. I didn''t expect you to start it earlier." Spielberg looked at the young man in front of him. He was much taller than himself, the ignorant teenager when he first met. Growing up, "Tell me the truth, Ryan, have you planned for this role long ago?"


    "Stephen, you are still so wise." Ryan complimented him jokingly. "you can say so."


    This is the old Ontario Airport in California. After some refurbishment, it has become the Miami International Airport from the outside. The filming crew of "Cat and Mouse Game" will officially start here.


    "Excuse me, did I miss something?"


    Outside the lounge, there was a sincere voice, and Tom Hanks walked in, "Hi, Ryan, it''s been a long time since I saw you."


    "Tommy. Your fattening is very successful." Ryan gave him a light hug.


    Tom Hanks'' appearance changed drastically. A lot fatter than Forrest Gump. If it weren''t for the iconic bun face, it could be regarded as a blessed middle-aged uncle.


    "I remember someone said that if you lose your IQ, you can surpass him in weight." The three said hello. Tom Hanks sat down, "If you want to capture a genius, you must pay some price."


    Three people laughed at the same time, they will form the core lineup of this movie.


    "Ryan, I have always owed you a thank you. There is no Forrest Gump recommended by you..." Tom Hanks said very solemnly, "There is no such thing as my second best actor, Golden Man."


    "You''re welcome, you deserve it."


    The 95 Oscars were the same as before. His "Forrest Gump" swept the awards ceremony. "Shawshank''s Redemption" once again became a tragedy, Tom Hanks won the second best actor.


    Of course, if there is no accident or a breakthrough performance, the best actor Oscar will be insulated from Tom Hanks.


    "Well, gentlemen. You should go make-up." Spielberg urged after checking the time.


    After changing into a neat Pan Am pilot uniform, Ryan walked out of the temporarily rented old airport, vaguely able to see the periphery of the shooting location, gathering many reporters, and occasionally flashing lights.


    Various styles of vintage cars from the 1960s filled the wide roads in front of the airport. The extras and road signs that acted as the background were also changed to suit the costumes of that era. A sprinkler drove slowly by, drenching the ground. A wet slice.


    "Ryan, many people will envy you."


    The director of photography is Jaminz Kaminsky, who is an important member of Spielberg''s team, and came over to joke Ryan at this time.


    "Actually, I envy Mr. Frank Abagonel even more."


    Seeing the fashionable beauties dressed up by the group of flight attendants, Ryan could only shook his head. The first shot of the boot was his escape from the Miami International Airport under the cover of a group of fake flight attendants.


    This group of girls are also highly professional actors. After walking several scenes with Ryan, and after two simple test shots, the official filming of "Cat and Mouse Game" kicked off.


    "The first act of the seventy-seventh scene, now begins!"


    With the shout of Spielberg''s assistant, the scene was silent for a moment.


    A red and white luxury RV parked in front of the airport lobby, and several flight attendants in blue uniforms filed out. Ryan was wearing a straight pilot uniform, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and two blond hairs. The tall, blue-eyed girl walked into the hall unhurriedly.


    Entering the hall, he pushes the two sexiest and beautiful flight attendants to the forefront without a trace, to attract people¡¯s attention, but he quietly falls behind, even if he is in danger, his face is still full of confidence.


    The agents passing by, the policemen guarding the main roads of the airport, the plainclothes that shuttled back and forth, it seemed that even the soul had been hooked away by the young and beautiful girls, and they didn''t notice that the felon they were looking for was mixed among these flight attendants.


    "Cut, over."


    Although this was the team leader''s shot, it was not too difficult, and Spielberg''s voice soon came from behind the main camera.


    "You look great, Ryan."


    Tom Hanks has changed his agent¡¯s suit and is wiping his glasses in his hands. He joked, "Now it¡¯s time for us to play a cat and mouse game."


    "God, what I have to face is the two best actor winners of Orcas..." Ryan deliberately used an exaggerated tone. "I hope that when the movie is released, the audience will not think of me as a crappy Boy Mao."


    "Then it depends on your performance." Spielberg said suddenly, "Ryan, I still remember your performance when filming "Schindler''s List". It was so amazing."


    "Actually, we are all waiting to see the two of you guys..." Jaminz Kaminsky yelled from a distance, which caused many people to start booing.


    The crew quickly moved to the ascending passage of the airport. After the various departments were ready, Spielberg made a gesture.


    "The first act of the eighty-fifth scene begins!"


    In the empty passage, Frank, played by Ryan, dressed in a uniform and carrying a suitcase, strode towards the hopeful freedom, but his face lacked the confidence of the past, with a slightly disturbed expression, he slipped his hand into his trouser pocket. .


    "How did you do it?"


    Behind him came the voice of the familiar agent. He could only turn around awkwardly. Although Agent Carl was asking questions, there was no doubt on his face, "How did you pass the Louisiana Bar Exam, Frank?"


    "What are you doing here?" The voice was abnormally guilty, "I''m sorry to cause you so much trouble."


    "If you go back to Europe, you will definitely die in jail!" Agent Carl''s words are more of an advice, like the elders are teaching the younger ones, "Frank, if you want to escape from the United States, we will send you to Atlanta. Prison for 50 years!"


    "I know."


    Frank made up his mind. The desire for freedom overwhelmed everything. He walked forward without looking back. Agent Carl behind was still talking, his words obviously shaken Frank''s determination.


    "Why are you helping me?" Frank didn''t look back.


    "You''re just a child." Agent Carl''s words pointed straight to Frank''s heart.


    "I am not your child."


    He was obviously angry because Agent Carl lied to him. It feels too bad that no one can trust him, but Carl did help him. Frank finally stopped and hesitated looking at the boarding pass in his hand. .


    "Cut!" Spielberg yelled to stop, "Ryan, I did a great job before, but the hesitation and hesitation here should be aggravated. Also, I hope Frank and Carl can show a kind of The strange relationship between father and son, and the attitude should be gentler. Next, let''s try this effect."


    Filming has never been smooth sailing. The inspiration from the director on the scene and the sudden performance of the actors may change the original filming plan. It is only just beginning. It is not only the actors who need to find the status, but also the director Spielberg. .


    The rivalry between Ryan and Tom Hanks in the movie is undoubtedly the biggest attraction, and Spielberg needs to find a suitable rhythm for the two.


    This scene was filmed seven times in succession Sometimes it was Ryan who needed adjustment, and sometimes it was Tom Hanks who needed adjustment. When Spielberg shouted out''great'', the whole shooting scene broke out. There was enthusiastic applause, and the two men''s Biao drama definitely deserved their applause.


    Although this is an old airport, it is impossible for the crew to rent too long. After Ryan and Hanks found a tacit understanding, Spielberg immediately accelerated the shooting speed, and the fast-paced shooting also mobilized the work of the entire crew. Power, greatly improving efficiency.


    "Ryan Jenkins''s new film is filming, and it''s a live show with Tom Hanks..."


    The crew quickly released a variety of news, and news about the film also began to flood the entertainment sections of major newspapers and tabloids.


    "After two years of silence, Ryan Jenkins finally stood on his stage. A genius from the 90s plays a genius from the 1960s. This is a collision across time and space..."


    "In front of two-time Oscar actor Tom Hanks, what kind of performance will Ryan grow up is worth looking forward to."


    Hype and publicity are always an indispensable means for a heavily invested film. ()

 Chapter 204： fast paced

    The filming of the airport scene only lasted a few days. After finishing the shots of Sarah Michelle Gellar, the crew immediately moved to Los Angeles and started filming the next scene non-stop.


    As for Sarah Michelle Gellar, the actress who is still not well-known, will appear in the movie as Frank''s only girlfriend or fiancee who has told the truth.


    Spielberg¡¯s scheduled shooting time for this film is only two months. Since most of the shots have to be taken on urban streets and buildings, the limited space and tight shooting schedule make everyone like it. The clockwork is normal, running at high speed without stopping.


    The crew prepared more than 140 sets in New York, Los Angeles, Quebec, and Montreal where they were filming. As long as Spielberg gave the order, the props crew would dress up the locations as the 60s in the shortest time possible. .


    This was a high-tempo shooting. Ryan also thoroughly experienced Spielberg¡¯s Hollywood factory assembly line shooting style. Every scene and every scene of his script was carefully calculated by the old Jewish man and delineated one. A closely connected lens, which greatly improves the shooting efficiency, and sometimes even three locations in a day.


    Such an astonishing speed not only made the reporter paparazzi around the crew stunned, but even many people in the crew found it incredible.


    "This is an unprecedented shooting. The speed is so fast. It is because the performances of the two men are too shocking. They have seen so few times in my shooting career." An assistant photographer said. In an interview with reporters, he once said so.


    Yes it is! After a short adjustment, Ryan quickly found a sense. The in-depth contact with Frank Abagonel himself before the filming benefited him a lot, and his understanding of the role was almost improved.


    Then there is his opponent, a double Oscar actor who is known for his acting skills, if he doesn''t stimulate all his potential. It will definitely be suppressed in the opponent''s play, and become a male vase that sells faces.


    This is not the result Ryan wanted.


    In the past, Ryan was worried about whether he would be disabled in the future. Although this worry is gone now, the troubles about appearance still exist.


    It is definitely not a good thing for an actor to be too handsome. It will add countless obstacles to his acting career. If his acting skills are to be recognized by the vast majority of people, it takes more effort.


    Fortunately, he did not grow into a custard niche, at the same time handsome and sunny. There is no lack of toughness and perseverance.


    The entire movie "Cat and Mouse Game" is set off by Frank and Carl. Among them, Frank is the top priority. There will be a lot of close-ups in the camera, showing his wisdom and agility, such a personable and elegant liar, if Ryan is not well controlled. If you don''t know, it will become a face show.


    The most criticized part of Xiao Li''s performance in the previous life is that he is prone to overstrength. Of course, this is what the film critics said. In Ryan''s view, Xiao Li''s performance in it is absolutely commendable.


    Ryan will not imitate anyone, he has already formed his own acting style, even when necessary. You can completely break your own style.


    According to Frank''s disguised identity, Ryan not only allows the stylist to adjust his appearance, but also constantly changes his temperament, sometimes alert and sometimes elegant. From time to time, he was steady, constantly changing identities among Frank himself, the teacher, the pilot, the doctor, and the lawyer, and the roles were just right.


    "He can always interpret the roles he plays perfectly." Spielberg once said to others, "When we grow up, Ryan has shown us a better Ryan. His acting skills have not regressed, but instead I''m more diligent, and sometimes I can even suppress Tom Hanks."


    Ryan¡¯s excellent state is due to his own efforts, and it also has a great relationship with Spielberg¡¯s control. The Jewish old man maintained the entire crew in a frenetic rhythm, which created the aura and vitality of the actors during performances. This is the foundation of the great directors in Hollywood.


    "...Why can''t I give you four hundred dollars." The **** and beautiful blonde took out the bills from her bra, counted four, and handed them a suit that looked like a small open Ryan. "It''s up to you to give me that check now."


    "That''s better."


    Ryan handed over the check and stuffed another four hundred dollars into his pocket, without the slightest guilt of deceiving the woman.


    After the deal was over, a man and a woman approached each other in a tacit understanding, and the four lips were about to come together.


    "Cut!"


    Spielberg''s shout finally sounded, "It''s okay."


    Like a contracting spring, Ryan instantly retracted his body and opened the distance from Gwyneth Paltrow.


    "Am I that scary, Ryan?" Gwyneth laughed suddenly. "I haven''t seen you for two years. I make you feel strange?"


    "Come on, Gwynne, I don''t want to be retaliated by an angry policeman." Ryan joked. "Brad is watching."


    After the filming of "The Seven Deadly Sins", Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow''s husband and wife file in the movie became a real couple, although the quarrel between the two was raging, but Currently still in love.


    Ryan knows a little bit about this pair. The investment in "The Seven Deadly Sins" comes from Jenkins Pictures, and he recommended Brad Pitt to play the policeman. After the movie''s box office exceeded 100 million yuan, the other party made a special trip to thank you.


    Neither the outside media nor the friends between the two are optimistic about Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow. This is not to say that Pete is bothered. After all, the bothering is a common problem of Hollywood men, but Gwyneth. Silk Paltrow has a serious princess disease, which will make people who interact with her stay away.


    She is also Spielberg¡¯s goddaughter. Compared with Drew Barrymore¡¯s long-sleeved dancers, Gwyneth Paltrow¡¯s popularity is much different. After knowing him for several years, Ryan is only a nodding acquaintance. .


    "Good evening, Ryan."


    Just sitting back in the lounge area, Brad Pitt leaned in.


    "Hello, Brad." Ryan greeted casually, "Sit down."


    "Ryan, I heard that the heroine of the big production is still being selected?" Brad Pitt knows a little bit about Ryan, and directly enters the topic after sitting down, "Is the heroine still undecided?"


    "Yes, Director Cameron is soliciting candidates for actors." Ryan squinted at Gwyneth Paltrow, vaguely guessing what Pete was going to say next.


    "Gwyneth also sent her own information and resume, and has not yet responded." Brad Pitt scratched her head awkwardly, "This..."


    "Sorry, Brad, according to the original agreement, our investors must respect James Cameron''s choice of actors." Ryan tactfully rejected the other party for a very simple reason. Gwyneth Paltrow completely. It does not conform to James Cameron''s aesthetics, nor does it conform to the physique characteristics of the noble lady in the early 20th century.


    Anything that may cause the film to fail will be discarded by him without hesitation.


    Gwyneth Paltrow didn¡¯t have many scenes. The filming was completed in just one day. She probably knew that she didn¡¯t have enough weight. She never mentioned the role in Ryan, but she told her godfather. , But was rejected by Spielberg.


    The Jewish director knows very well that in the face of a huge investment of more than 200 million U.S. dollars, human favors can play a very limited role.


    After the crew moved to an old neighborhood in Quebec City, they came to Montreal, where an abandoned prison served as a French prison for Algonel, and Ryan became one of the felons and experienced the loss of freedom. .


    During the shooting time, Ryan would also come to Spielberg''s side to ask for some knowledge about director, photography, and production. For whatever reason, Spielberg was also very knowledgeable and inexhaustible.


    The filming "Cat and Mouse Game" is undoubtedly the best example and teaching material. He also told Ryan about the precautions when shooting this film through some of the shots.


    "This is a movie with a cheerful theme, so we didn''t use dark light, and tried our best to make the film bright and beautiful. We need to take pictures in the streets and buildings, which will definitely be restricted. We cannot remove the walls and windows at will, nor can we Cameras and lighting equipment are placed in ideal locations, and everything can only be adapted to local conditions. Ryan, this fast-paced shooting is a challenge, but the director likes this challenge. Only by constantly challenging can he broaden his horizons."


    When Ryan asked about the use of background and clothing colors in the shooting, Spielberg explained, ¡°When Frank first appeared in the movie he was just an ordinary person, living in a soft and monotonous life. In the environment, but when the scams he set up succeeded again and again, and gradually became better, the colors around him became wilder and wilder. As he entered the peak state, we began to use bright colors such as red, yellow, and orange. Shows his constant vitality."


    For Ryan, this is a brand new shooting experience. It is more tense and faster than ever before. The entire crew is like a jet plane flying around in the sky, tossing and turning around.


    "This is the fastest-paced movie I have ever starred in. It keeps changing scenes, just like a big theater troupe going around." Ryan said in a phone call to Nicole.


    The fast-paced shooting allowed Ryan to burst out of all his potential. In several games with Tom Hanks, he was not weaker than the wind. The two men of different ages often won applause.


    "Ryan, I think as long as you have the right role, you can definitely fight for the nomination of the best actor." This is what Tom Hanks said in a small chat.


    Just a month and a half later, the crew of "Cat and Mouse Game" returned to Los Angeles. After the final scene was successfully completed, Spielberg officially announced that the film was closed. ()

 Chapter 205： Enlightenment

    Stretching for a long time, Ryan put his hands back on the keyboard of the notebook. With the rapid tapping of his fingers, lines of letters were displayed in the text, much faster than handwriting and typewriters.


    Just last year, Microsoft released it on time. After buying a new ibm laptop, Ryan did not hesitate to throw his handwriting aside. Even if the cramping blue screen is really annoying, it makes Ryan more efficient. improve.


    What he was writing was the script of "Jurassic Park 2". "Future Water World" almost sent Universal Pictures to bankruptcy. After taking that breath, Ron Meyer naturally turned his eyes on This is a gold-absorbing weapon.


    After Pai Kingsley¡¯s negotiation, the two parties quickly reached an agreement. Ryan''s personal share ratio reached a new high, and he clearly stated that he would only write another script for "Jurassic Park". .


    Speaking of which, in the past two years, Ryan devoted almost all of his energy to the preparation of the sat exam in the previous year, and in the next year he began to supplement the script outlines he wrote down, especially in the Australian farm. For a while, in addition to practicing riding and driving, I was sitting in front of my laptop and tapping.


    Every short time, Ryan always puts up a script and conceives it to show his existence in the circle and stabilize his position.


    For example, "Changing Face", Jenkins Pictures and Paramount Pictures will soon co-produce this movie, and he has already contacted the director who could not make a bad movie without the pigeons and the church.


    For example, Jenkins Pictures and Paramount Pictures jointly invested $75 million in the intense post-production "** Day", which he asked Shirley Lansing to give to Shirley Lansing in 1994.


    Frankly speaking, the plot of "** Day" is not very impressive, and its main highlight is the special effects. If the production is delayed four or five years, this film is very likely to encounter Waterloo.


    Also, just last month, the copyright issue regarding Spider-Man was finally resolved, and Marvel Comics took back the film copyright. Sony Pictures has left the copyright to the TV series. In addition, Jenkins Pictures will work with Sony Columbia to film "Mr. Sweetheart."


    No one is a fool, and without paying some benefits, how can it be possible to get the copyright back and both parties go to court. That''s just the most helpless choice in the end.


    "Ryan, your juice."


    Lisa walked over and put a glass of fresh strawberry juice on the side of the simple wooden table.


    "Thank you, Lisa."


    After taking a sip, Ryan raised his thumb, "The taste is still great."


    After a smile. Lisa cleaned up the terrace on the second floor, tidyed up some manuscript papers scattered on the ground, and asked, "Are these useless?"


    "Send it to the shredder." Ryan waved his hand casually, remembering another thing, "Where is George?"


    "I went to pick up Taylor. The Swift driver took leave today."


    "Yeah. The guitar is ready, remember to call me when they come back."


    Thinking of the six-year-old girl, Ryan raised his eyebrows. After filming "Cat and Mouse Game", Taylor Swift, who became sensible, expressed to him the idea of ??learning pop music very seriously, and got Swift. With the support of the special couple, the relationship between the two families is not ordinary after all, and Ryan readily agreed.


    Besides, teaching a pop music superstar personally is also a very fun thing.


    "Ryan!"


    The black Bentley just parked in front of the villa. Even before the car door was opened, a little girl with golden curly hair stretched her head out of the car window, yelling at the villa, she did not have the legendary lady style at all.


    "Lisa, take her to the music practice room."


    On the terrace. Ryan put his notebook away, took a stack of music scores, and walked downstairs.


    "Ryan, where''s Nicole?"


    As soon as I walked into the music practice room, a question from the little girl came from the other side, "Isn''t her movie finished yet?"


    "Well, Nicole is still in Scotland."


    Speaking of Nicole and "Small Island Cry", Ryan couldn''t help but scratch his head. The estimated filming period was far from enough. The crew hasn''t closed the film yet. Some time ago, he specifically called Diana to extend the Spencer family''s status. The lease time of the manor house.


    "You and Nicole didn''t quarrel anymore? Did she hide in Scotland and don''t want to see you." Taylor still remembers the way Nicole cried two years ago.


    "Shut up, Alison."


    Whenever Ryan called out her middle name, Tyler knew that he should shut up, otherwise the angry Ryan would not be fun at all, and it was quite scary.


    In fact, since 1994, Taylor has shown a very good musical talent. Ryan also gave her children''s guitar as a birthday gift, let her play the strings every day, learn to sing, and wait for the music After getting enough perceptual knowledge, start formal learning.


    Taylor is indeed very interested in music, and sits steadily in her special chair, not at all the usual naughty appearance, and looks unusually serious.


    "Do you remember the notes you taught you last time?" Recognizing music scores is the most basic basic skill.


    "Yeah~"


    The little girl focused her head, "I also know that you taught me Carreballo."


    "Very good." Ryan nodded, and handed the prepared children''s guitar to the little girl, "Remember, don''t practice for more than half an hour each time."


    Although you can use picks, the practice time is too long and there is no benefit to children of this age.


    Some messy guitar sounds sounded. Ryan taught the little girl the easiest fingering. The music is also the beginner¡¯s "Carreballo" and "Carcassie". In addition to correcting **** mistakes at any time, more often , He is free to play at Taylor, even if the tone she plays can only be called noise.


    Taylor¡¯s interest is not a problem. She has been accustomed to Ryan¡¯s practice since childhood. She is full of curiosity about pop music. What Ryan wants to do is to cultivate her basic skills without restricting her imagination. , Suppressing children is full of innocent thoughts, that is, committing a crime.


    "Taylor, pay attention to the strength of your fingers, don''t use too much force."


    Ryan occasionally reminded him of some precautions. He used the method that the master of the Philharmonic Orchestra taught himself. The method of teaching one string by string is also not suitable for this blonde girl with extremely high musical talent.


    After the simple guitar practice, it is the basic pronunciation practice. This age group is the best time to practice.


    In addition, after practicing, Ryan will also talk to Taylor about his experience in finding music inspiration. Even if this is a category that can only be understood and unspeakable, he still wants to influence Taylor subtly and let her grow up. Find more ways to create inspiration.


    If one''s own students will find creativity by making and kicking boyfriends in the future, isn''t his enlightenment teacher dumbfounded.


    "Well, Tyler, let''s stop here today."


    Half an hour later, Ryan finished the exercise on time, "You are free."


    "But I just want to play the guitar." The little girl pursed her mouth, her royal blue eyes rolled, "Ryan, can you play it for me?"


    "Not good!" Ryan refused without hesitation.


    "Why?" Taylor bulged his cheeks. Fortunately, as he got older, he wouldn''t be able to roll the golden beans at every turn.


    "Because I''m very busy." Ryan rubbed the girl''s golden curls casually. "You can find Lisa or someone else to play."


    "Don''t rub other people''s heads, you will become stupid!" Tyler covered his head tightly with his hands, staring wide-eyed, "Ryan, don''t think you can bully me if you are six feet tall. I will grow up in the future. Is taller than you!"


    "Really, dear, then I''ll wait for the day when you can rub my hair."


    Ryan packed up a few musical instruments, and led the little girl into the living room when Lisa came over with a large stack of letters.


    "Ryan, a letter from dmv." Lisa took out one of them and shook it.


    "Dmv? Motor Vehicle Management Department?" Ryan''s eyes lit up suddenly, "Wow, that''s great, it should be my driver''s license."


    With that said, Ryan had already accepted the letter and opened it. It contained the driver''s license he had just tested some time ago.


    The United States is the kingdom of automobiles. Most citizens over the age of sixteen have a driver''s license and can drive. The driver''s license is not only a notebook for driving, but also a widely used identification document.


    In fact, George taught him to drive last year. If it wasn''t for his age, he would have been able to apply for a driver''s license.


    "So, Ryan, can you drive?" Taylor seemed to know a lot, and a pair of shiny eyeballs turned around. "Shall we drive outside to play? How about going for a ride on the interstate?"


    Ryan stared at her condescendingly, and the little girl immediately shrank her neck, "I''m not afraid of you, Ryan, I will call Nat and tell Nat that you are bullying me again, and after Nicole comes back... "


    Nicole and Nat? Ryan had a headache In fact, as he got older, his prestige in Taylor''s eyes became higher and higher. Unfortunately, this little guy found two hard enough backstages, and he will always Move them out.


    "So Ryan..."


    The little girl was still talking, Ryan had already wandered away and thought of other things.


    James Cameron has returned to Los Angeles from Mexico, and it''s time to meet him. After all, the preparatory stage of the film is nearing the end, not too far away from the start of the movie.


    There is also the role of Jack Dawson, whether to play or not. After his appearance is gradually finalized, Ryan has made a decision. Europeans and Americans are generally precocious. Make-up can easily solve the little green face. Temperament and acting skills are for him. , It''s not a problem at all.


    Besides, he pulled Paramount, Miramax and Twentieth Century Fox into the project at the same time, just to solve problems in the future, just in case.


    ps: Thanks to book friends such as Zangkong Ximu, Liulifeng, Wuyun Taxue, etc. for their rewards, thank you Benben Xiaohui Rudder! Break out over the weekend! ()

 Chapter 206： Ready to set sail

    The black Land Rover drove off-road into Venice. Ryan sat in the driving position and turned the steering wheel. The car turned into the street where the digital domain was. He glanced at the rearview mirror and shook his head helplessly. Several paparazzi cars And the motorcycle, like a hanged ghost, followed closely behind.


    Ryan¡¯s driving skills can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. If you want to throw away the guys behind like George, you don¡¯t have to think about it. Fortunately, he is not out shopping. Paparazzi and reporters will never get in where he wants to go.


    Venice here is not a world-famous city in Italy, but a small town in California. Ryan came to the digital field to meet James Cameron, the set tyrant just returned from Mexico a few days ago.


    Entering the office building where the digital domain is located, James Cameron¡¯s assistant is waiting at the front desk. After seeing Ryan, he quickly led him to the office area on the second floor.


    "Hey, Jim, it''s been a long time, you look a lot thinner."


    Ryan and the onset tyrant who greeted him gave a strong hug. Not only did Cameron lose weight, but his hair was a lot whiter. "I almost couldn''t recognize you."


    "Well, Ryan, for God''s sake, should you go to Mexico?" Cameron immediately complained after the two sat down, "How many times have you been there since the project was approved?"


    "So, the preliminary preparation is about to be completed?" Ryan''s eyes lit up, and he had been preparing for more than two years!


    "Except for a few actor candidates, everything else is basically ready." James Cameron talked about some preliminary preparations.


    After the first funds were in place, James Cameron quickly finalized Rosario, Mexico as the location. In addition to building a studio, the crew built an artificial lake with a total area of ??8.5 acres on the coast and contacted them. Several shipyards, at a price of more than US$50 million, copied a Titanic of the same proportion over a period of more than a year. In addition, it took several months to manufacture two 22-foot and 44-foot model ships.


    In the last year. The crew made crazy purchases in New York, Los Angeles and Mexico City, and copied the table lamps, porcelain, suitcases, life jackets and deck chairs on the Titanic in real quantities, as many as thousands.


    As a movie technology madman, James Cameron also ordered the latest photographic equipment from Sony and Nikon. The various related equipment used by the "Titanic" crew almost tops the world''s film industry.


    Of course, the huge budget was spent like running water. The financial supervisor of Ryan stationed in the crew once sent a fax, claiming that the film has not yet started filming, and the initial budget has already been tight.


    "Ryan. Have you thought about it?"


    James Cameron slowly buckled the armrest of the chair. In his eyes. There is no more suitable person than the guy opposite.


    The height of six feet is just right, the light brown hair is exactly the same as Jack''s image, like the five senses carved out of marble, full of three-dimensional sense, looking green and mature. The fusion of two completely different temperaments is so perfect.


    If there was still a little bit of worry two years ago, now in Cameron''s eyes, Ryan is simply Jack Dawson jumping out of the script.


    "Then how much can you pay me, Jim?" Ryan joked.


    "Come on, Ryan, you are the boss of the movie." Cameron waved.


    "Well, Jim, I promised." Ryan finally nodded and let himself start a journey from Southampton to the Atlantic Ocean.


    "Ryan. We can finally join hands again." James Cameron''s smiling face clearly showed a hint of malicious intent.


    "Yes, I have to accept the poison of the tyrant on the set again." Ryan knew very well that even if he is an investor, he still has to maintain the authority of the director on the set.


    "Where are the other actors?"


    "At present, it has been confirmed that Ms. Gloria Stewart will play the role of Elder Ruth. Billy Zane will play Carl Hockley... Well, Ryan, you promised the actor, and then the heroine..." Cameron said I scrolled through my desk a few times and found a piece of information, "I have a candidate."


    As he said, he handed over a document, "She has already participated in the audition, and overall it''s pretty good."


    Ryan opened the document, and the faint fragrance of roses reached his nose. This is not only the actor''s information, but also a self-recommendation letter. The fragrance is coming from the self-recommendation book, and the photos in it are also very familiar.


    "Kate Winslet, an actor from the UK, was shortlisted for this year''s Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Her image and temperament are very in line with the noble lady of that era." Cameron explained.


    James Cameron still chose her! Ryan felt that way.


    In her previous life, Miss Ruth was undoubtedly the most criticized character in the Far East, especially her image did not conform to the aesthetics of the Asians at all. On the other side of the Pacific, she was criticized for nothing, and even had''shredded meat'' and''fat''. Wen'' nickname.


    Frankly speaking, she did not fit Ryan''s aesthetics, but after living in the West for so many years, he knew very well that James Cameron would choose her for no reason.


    Of course, this is inseparable from Cameron¡¯s unflattering aesthetics. In addition, Kate Winslet¡¯s temperament and body shape are very consistent with the general characteristics of the noble lady of that era. After all, the aesthetics of each era is always somewhat difference.


    "What''s your opinion, Ryan."


    Hearing Cameron¡¯s inquiry-style words, Ryan didn¡¯t make any comments, ¡°Jim, it¡¯s good for you to make the decision. You are the director.¡±


    "Well, Ryan, the script is from you. You should know the characters best." James Cameron folded his hands and tilted his head and said, "When will you be a screenwriter, curator, investor, and lead actor? How about to report to the crew?"


    "As long as you need it, Jim." Ryan laughed. "Anytime."


    "I''m going back to Rosario in a while, and I hope we can travel together." Ryan nodded as soon as Cameron finished speaking, "Of course."


    "That... one more thing, Ryan." James Cameron showed an embarrassed look, "I think we should say hello in advance..."


    Ryan had a bad feeling in his heart, and faintly guessed what he would say.


    "The current budget is difficult to maintain until the production is completed..." Cameron made a gesture that you understand.


    Ryan has read the latest financial report and knows that an additional budget is necessary, but it is equally clear that Cameron must be reined, otherwise the production cost is likely to push up to 300 million US dollars.


    "I will consider it." Ryan did not directly agree.


    I declined James Cameron''s proposal to have lunch together. After Ryan left the digital field, he drove back to Los Angeles, and another meeting was waiting for him.


    Nowadays, Hollywood in the region has become a tourist attraction. Among the famous film companies, only Paramount Pictures remains here, and Ryan''s destination is Paramount Pictures.


    Since "Forrest Gump", Ryan has officially become a member of the producer league. He is not only the screenwriter of "Changing Face", but also the producer. He came here for the preparatory meeting of the film.


    The success of several films such as "Forrest Gump" has made Paramount''s management full of confidence in Ryan. They have no objection to his appointment of the director to the main actors of the "Change Face" crew, but are happy to see him. Cheng, if possible, they even want him to designate a few supporting roles with a little drama.


    What they didn''t know was that Ryan only remembered the names of the two protagonists and the director.


    "Good afternoon, John, and Nicholas."


    After entering the conference room, Ryan greeted John Travolta and Nicholas Cage.


    Although several people are not very familiar, they are all well-known figures in the circle and have always seen them on some occasions.


    "Hello, Ryan, I heard that the movie you filmed with Stephen has been closed?" Nicholas Cage said slightly exaggerated, "Oh, God, are you shooting in a plane?"


    "It''s just that the crew is in good condition." Ryan replied with a smile, and then shook hands with the middle-aged man who came by. "Mr. Wu, I have watched "The True Colors of Heroes" and "The Bloody Heroes" directed by you. It''s really exciting."


    "It''s a great honor." The person on the other side laughed brilliantly, apparently I didn''t expect that my movie would affect important figures in Hollywood.


    Saying hello to others, Ryan sat at the top of the conference table doing his part. After Stephen Luther, who was the executive producer, said about the general preparations, he took the topic.


    "Mr. Wu, I hope you can perfectly integrate your personal style into this movie. I believe that the violent aesthetics you advocate will attract the attention of North American audiences."


    In his previous life, Bai Dove Wu''s first three tricks really surprised American audiences, but after the surprise is aesthetic fatigue, coupled with geographical rejection, he has only these three tricks.


    But He has just finished shooting "Broken Arrow", which is still very valuable. For those who can create value for themselves, Ryan always looks at it differently.


    "Mr. Wu, I know that your shooting technique is very stylized. All the details of the environment, space, design and effects must be in place. Therefore, I specially invited Mr. Zhang from Hong Kong to be the producer, and I will give it to you. As many permissions as possible."


    For a director who has only filmed a movie in Hollywood and is an outsider, this kind of power is almost a dream.


    While giving power, Ryan also said something to the front. He didn''t want to see a typical Wu movie.


    "I hope the movie will be Hollywood production of "Broken Arrow" style, not a pure Hong Kong style."


    There are fans of Hong Kong-style movies in North America, such as Quentin Tasdino, the director of "Pulp Fiction", but that is a minority after all. Ryan doesn''t want to let the investment of up to 60 million US dollars be wiped out.

 Chapter 207： How is the money burned

    ps: Four more today!


    Several thick large suitcases were sent into the luggage compartment of the plane by the staff. Ryan and George got into the cabin one after another and found that James Cameron was chatting with a plump actress.


    This woman is Kate Winslet.


    This is a private business jet belonging to James Cameron, which will carry them to Rosario, Mexico, and the target is the crew of the ship.


    "Ryan, you are always the last."


    After Ryan and Ryan sat across from him, James Cameron shook his finger.


    "Sorry, Jim." Ryan just smiled, not a little embarrassed, "I have more luggage, it''s more troublesome to pack."


    "I saw it." Cameron pointed out the window and teased, "Ryan, you really suspect that you are moving."


    "Moving?" Ryan retorted unceremoniously. "If I move, I will fill every inch of the plane."


    "Why don''t you buy a plane of your own, I remember you are sixteen years old." Cameron winked his eyes on purpose.


    "I..." Ryan patted his forehead, "I forgot, okay, Jim, thank you for your reminder, can I borrow your plane for future trips?"


    "You are really stingy." James Cameron said in a pun. "It seems that there are not many Hollywood actors richer than you, right?"


    "Come on, Jim." Ryan naturally understood what he meant. "I said, the additional budget will be considered."


    Kate Winslet hasn''t understood what''s going on. James Cameron and Ryan Jenkins, who are diagonally opposite, have already completed a language confrontation.


    "Excuse me, can I ask you what you are talking about?" She blinked and asked curiously.


    "Hello, Miss Winslet... well, Kate." Ryan took the initiative to reach out and shook her gently. This is the partner for the next few months.


    "Okay. Guys, fasten your seat belts and take off soon." James Cameron reminded.


    The interior of James Cameron¡¯s Gulfstream business jet is extremely luxurious. After ¡°True Lies¡± was downgraded in North America, Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox sought his advice and changed his share to This plane.


    "Would you like something to drink?"


    This business jet is also equipped with a stewardess, um...like all the women Cameron admires, a typical tall and mighty imperial sister.


    "Juice, thank you."


    Ryan had just picked up the juice, James Cameron said again. "Ryan, I heard that Marvel Comics has taken back the movie copyright of Spider-Man?"


    "Yes." Ryan nodded. This is not a secret in the industry. He waved his hand to stop what the other party wanted to say, "Stop, Jim! I understand what you mean, I just want to ask you, if I get Spider-Man Here you are, what is your budget? Two hundred million dollars or three hundred million dollars? Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s 100 million dollars. I understand your style."


    As early as a few years ago, James Cameron, like Ryan, proposed a joint adaptation of "Spider-Man." This guy is a crazy Spider-Man fan.


    In fact, after so many years. Ryan still knows James Cameron. With his temperament, finishing "Titanic" will definitely be exhausted and will throw away all his work by then. Go play his diving or documentary.


    "All right, Ryan." James Cameron said deliberately, raising his arms. "I think your acting skills must have regressed. When shooting, I will let you look for the feeling a hundred times."


    "Wait, Jim." Ryan narrowed his neck in cooperation. "You are revenge, it''s not fair."


    "If there is unfairness in this world, the existence of Ryan Jenkins is the greatest unfairness." Kate Winslet was full of thought and made a timely sentence.


    "Oh, God, between you..."


    Ryan deliberately changed his eyes and turned back and forth between Cameron and Winslet.


    "Ryan, you are slander!"


    Kate Winslet also discovered that the genius opposite, a rich man with a wealth of more than a billion, should be a very easy person to get along with, and he doesn''t mind making some appropriate jokes.


    After the plane landed, Ryan and his party did not go to the hotel, but drove around the city in a car and directly drove towards Rosario''s location.


    When Ryan came last time, it was still located on a deserted beach under a small volcano, but now it has become a busy pier¡ªalbeit fake¡ªwith people coming and going, and the finishing touches are in progress.


    After getting off the car, several spacious studios first caught their eyes, followed by the artificial lake with a huge area, and the big ship that looked so real from this side.


    It is matched with the dock in the early twentieth century, and people can''t help but feel a sense of time and space dislocation. If it weren''t for the busy modern machinery around, you might think that you were back in Southampton Port in 1912.


    "God, Jim." Even Ryan couldn''t help but exclaimed after seeing such a real model ship, "You really did it! The Titanic is right in front of my eyes!"


    "So, Ryan." James Cameron led the way, and a few people walked straight to the ship. "Every cent you put in, it''s spent where it should be."


    "Well, Jim, can we not mention the money today?" Ryan spread out his hands helplessly, causing Winslet to laugh next to him.


    Along the way, Ryan met many acquaintances, such as producer Jon Landau, such as Cameron¡¯s royal photography team, such as Stan Winston who is leading the modeling team, such as two consultants. Research experts on the Titanic.


    In other words, here is a collection of the top players in Hollywood. Maybe they are not the best, but they are definitely one of the best.


    "Can we go up and have a look?"


    Coming to the bottom of the model ship, Ryan touched it back and forth a few times, all made of steel, at least it looked like a real ship.


    "Of course." James Cameron led the way. "The real Titanic used three million rivets. Although the ship used one hundred thousand, there is no problem if it is not launched."


    In his previous life, Ryan had seen a lot of tidbits about "Titanic" and knew that the model ship was actually incomplete, but in this life, he proposed a shooting budget of up to 220 million U.S. dollars. Let James Cameron have enough confidence to restore the ship almost completely.


    Of course, the ship is still only half decorated, and the other side is mostly bare.


    As James Cameron entered the cabin, Ryan seemed to be on a luxury cruise ship, and what he saw and heard was all typical of the British style of the early 20th century.


    "Please change your shoes. Below is the most luxurious first-class cabin."


    Before entering the top floor, James Cameron did not forget to remind Ryan to put on brand new slippers, "Before shooting, we must try to keep the original appearance here."


    Into the first class. Ryan carefully looked at everything here. He and Nicole had participated in several cruise ship parties, and the decoration of those luxury cruise ships was just like that, and this was just for shooting the model ship built!


    "These carpets are high-end carpets specially made by the crew from the original British factory. They are exactly the same as they were back then." James Cameron pointed to the carpet in the passage and talked freely. "According to the design draft of the year, using the same material, A total of more than 20,000 square feet have been ordered."


    Ok! Stacks of dollars are all under my feet! This is Ryan''s only emotion.


    "Very good. Jim, I feel like I''m back in the early twentieth century." Ryan knew very well that to create a classic, every detail must be noticed.


    "Come in. Ryan, and Kate."


    James Cameron pushed open the door of the banquet hall, and the banquet hall of thousands of square feet was displayed in front of them, whether it was a table lamp or tableware. All are extremely luxurious.


    "When I want to close the mirror, we can definitely hold a celebration party here." Kate Winslet said with some emotion.


    "Believe me, when this movie was closed. You were absolutely in no mood to celebrate." Hearing Ryan''s words, Winslet was puzzled, "Why, Ryan?"


    "Kate, you will only have one idea then, that is to kill James Cameron!" Ryan is convinced that he will also have this idea when the time comes.


    James Cameron pointed Ryan with his index finger, but did not excuse him. After experiencing "Terminator 2" and "True Lies", his reputation as a tyrant on the set has long been spread throughout Hollywood.


    Ryan copied his pockets with both hands and slowly walked past the dining tables. The bright tableware was all engraved with the logo of the White Star Company. He had rewritten this in the script''s suggestion at the beginning. .


    You know, when filming the banquet scene in the previous life, James Cameron realized that the tableware should be engraved with the logo of the White Star Company, so the tableware, costumes, food, extras, etc. were all over again, and the scene of this scene The remake cost more than two million dollars.


    "Are you satisfied, Ryan."


    When the three people walked out of the banquet hall, James Cameron asked contentedly.


    "Jim, I have to admit..." In Cameron''s expectant eyes, Ryan spoke suddenly, "You are a genius who spends money!"


    "You did a great job, even better than I thought!" Ryan pays himself, and it may not be better than Cameron''s doing it by himself. "Jim, let us work together to create a miracle. UU Read the book www.uuk¨¡nshu.com"


    "Miracle? What kind of miracle?"


    "Beyond "Jurassic Park", what do you think?" What Ryan said was naturally the box office.


    "This is definitely a good idea!" James Cameron is also full of confidence. As a commercial film director, box office is naturally his first pursuit.


    If the words just came from someone else, Kate Winslet would just treat it as a joke, or the kind that didn''t have a laugh, but who was the person who said these words?


    Ryan Jenkins, the guarantee of the box office of Hollywood movies, is the one who directed the first box office record of "Jurassic Park" in history.


    James Cameron, an absolute master-level commercial film director, "Terminator 2" and "True Lies" both have a good box office and word of mouth.


    What will be the result of these two men working together again? Kate Winslet feels that her perseverance is too right, and dozens of self-recommendations sent to James Cameron by mail in a row will definitely receive unexpected returns. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 208： Poison

    In order to fit the plot conceived by Ryan and enhance the realism of the film, as early as last year, James Cameron invited a number of sailors, scientists, photographers and historians from the United States, Russia and Canada to organize Twelve dives and watch the big ship sinking on the bottom of the sea up close.


    During the period, the crew leased the world''s largest deep-sea research ship-Russia''s Keldish Academy-relying on the help of two Mir submarines on board, this filmed the wreck of the Titanic.


    The film¡¯s pre-publicity has already started. Ryan commissioned Yahoo to produce several websites about diving and the Titanic shipwreck, using the catastrophe itself as one of the main promotional methods.


    After entering mid-May, the actors were in place one after another, and the news that the crew was about to start up also spread back to North America. A large number of reporters and paparazzi flocked to the beach. Rosario immediately became the focus of the entertainment media.


    Ryan and several other film companies jointly invested 220 million US dollars to create an epic masterpiece about the Titanic shipwreck. The news has long been spread, and the huge model ship standing in the water tank on the beach cannot be blocked. Strong evidence.


    Like all successful people, Ryan and Cameron have their own auras, and many media believe that they will continue to succeed like the previous two cooperations.


    Similarly, many media have voiced doubts. After all, the $220 million shooting budget has once again allowed James Cameron to set a record in Hollywood. Some people with bad intentions have been waiting to see Ryan''s joke.


    "Instead of taking a huge sum of 220 million yuan to take a risk to shoot a film that I don''t know so-called, it would be better to donate it to a charity organization, which will make more sense." This is what Gary Graham said in his column.


    This orthodox descendant of the self-proclaimed Mayflower immigrant has always been a vanguard against Ryan Jenkins.


    No matter how the media reports, it is impossible for this film to stop. To this day, the crew has spent a huge amount of US$150 million in preliminary preparations, even if the other three parties withdrew. Ryan will also support this project alone.


    After the main actors arrived, the full-time etiquette coach Ryan hired from England also came to Rosario. This rigorous coach who had trained him in the past will teach the actors the upper class in 1912 in the next period of time. Social etiquette.


    Ryan, Jon Landau and James Cameron formed the core part of the crew. Among them, James Cameron was the main part. Do your best in every detail.


    "There has never been a perfect movie in this world, we just try to make "Titanic" as close to perfect as possible!" Ryan once said to the other two.


    In order to be fully involved in the filming of this movie. Ryan even temporarily threw away the script writing that never stopped every day. This movie in the past life is great enough. Then, in this world, it will become even greater in his hands.


    After nearly two and a half years of preliminary preparations, the crew finally officially announced the opening in late May. The first filming was the scene of Elder Ruth. Gloria Stewart is over eighty years old, and it is impossible to stay in Mexico for a long time.


    The crew once again leased the Keldish Academy research ship from Russia, and dozens of crew members, including Ryan, boarded the world''s most advanced ocean-going research ship.


    There is no Ryan''s role here. Most of the time he stood behind James Cameron, watching how the tyrant on the set mobilized the entire team, and the angry roar that sounded from listening to him at that time.


    Ryan can''t remember where he has seen it. Personal success is bound to have a growing temper. Now James Cameron has more than doubled his temper compared to when he filmed "Terminator 2". He is usually a kind person, but when he sits in the director''s chair, he will immediately complete a transformation.


    He is too irritable! This is Ryan''s personal summary.


    "Cut!" Cameron stopped just as he shouted to start.


    He went back and forth in the cabin, furious. "Leo, what have you done? I want an orange filter plate, what is it now? How many times did you make a mistake today? Our time and money are all wasted on you..."


    James Cameron¡¯s words were like a cannonball, and he madly attacked a member of the filming crew. In the empty front cabin of the expedition ship, only his voice was surging back.


    Just like Cameron said, this is not the first time the assistant photographer has made a mistake, because one person¡¯s mistake has dragged down the entire crew. This kind of thing is naturally intolerable by the director.


    "Let''s stop here today!"


    Checking the time, James Cameron announced that the filming was temporarily over.


    "Why on earth?" Ryan walked near the camera. Russell Carpenter is one of the best photographers in Hollywood. How could his men make low-level mistakes one after another?


    "Leo only joined our team last month." Russell Carpenter was a little embarrassed. "In the past few jobs, he showed excellent professionalism. Who knows..."


    He helplessly spread his hands.


    Turns out to be a newcomer! Ryan patted him on the shoulder, ready to go over and persuade James Cameron a few words, this guy is still losing his temper, it seems that he is not ready to eat dinner.


    "Ryan, Nicole''s phone." George walked over with the satellite phone.


    "That''s it, James." Ryan took the phone and walked out of the cabin, walking along the ship''s side to the stern.


    "This is really good news, Nicole, I thought you were going to be based in Scotland."


    "Small Island" is finally closed, which is longer than the scheduled shooting time.


    "My dear, this is not what you should say now." Nicole''s voice was obviously tired, "Where are you, why is the wind so strong?"


    "At sea." Ryan said briefly about the current environment, "on the open sea near Baja California."


    "Well... I will be back in Los Angeles soon. I will take a short vacation after I go back. I will go to Mexico to visit your class."


    "That''s great, Nicole, you know what, I miss you so much." Ryan heard the footsteps, and when he looked back, George was not far and near right behind him.


    "My dear, I miss you too." Even on the phone, Ryan could hear the affection in Nicole''s words.


    "Then see me earlier." Ryan lowered his voice, "Nicole. I want to hold you..."


    "Ryan..."


    Except for the sound of the wind, the two ends of the satellite phone are left with the sound of breathing. The two did not say a word, but they could clearly feel each other''s hearts. The distance of tens of thousands of miles could not stop the two closer and closer. heart.


    "That''s it, Ryan, will you wait for me in Mexico?"


    "I will wait for you, Nicole, anytime."


    After hanging up the phone. Ryan found out that he didn''t know it. He has reached the restaurant at the stern of the ship. It''s quiet here, no one can be seen.


    Now that he is here, Ryan is not going to return to the front cabin, anyway, it''s about to start dinner. The crew of the crew will come here for dinner in at most ten minutes.


    Walking to the large window on the side of the restaurant, Ryan looked inside through the thick glass. The long metal table was filled with all kinds of buffet meals, and steamed steam on the other side. It should be an indispensable seafood soup for every meal after boarding.


    Ryan half-turned around, just about to leave near the window, walked around the aisle next to the restaurant, but keenly caught a figure out of the corner of his eye.


    That man was Leo who was drooled by James Cameron. He entered the restaurant from the side door, quickly walked to the seafood soup, took out a delicate small bottle, unscrewed the bottle cap and spilled something into the soup.


    What is he doing? Ryan didn''t even think about it, so he gestured to George not far away. George rushed to the front door of the restaurant like a cheetah, not forgetting to glance in through the window.


    Ryan also quickly followed, and when he rushed to the door of the restaurant, he heard the screams and loud noises that seemed to be the result of a person falling. When he entered the restaurant, he saw that George had subdued the guy and was using white The handkerchief picked up the bottle.


    "Fa...did something happen?" A chef ran into the dining room from the kitchen.


    "Call the security personnel on board and notify Director Cameron." Ryan said quickly.


    "Okay... OK." These chefs were specially hired by the crew, and naturally understood the weight of Ryan''s words.


    "Let go of me, let me go!"


    The guy was still struggling unwillingly even though George tied his hands back with a belt, "You are illegally detained! I will file a lawsuit in the court!"


    "Procedure?" Ryan had a mocking smile, not to mention what this guy did, but here is the open sea far from the coastline.


    "Ryan! Ryan!"


    Dense footsteps and James Cameron¡¯s anxious shouts came from outside the restaurant, and he was relieved when he entered the restaurant and saw Ryan standing there intact.


    Even today, James Cameron still remembers what happened when filming "Terminator 2", because Ryan suffered some minor injuries, the crazy woman Nicole Kidman had a big fight with him. , Although he is not afraid of her, but who wants to face a hysterical woman.


    "What happened?" Cameron looked at Leo who was lying on the ground and looked at George who was stepping on him.


    "I was passing by the restaurant just now and just saw this Mr. Leo adding this stuff to our seafood bisque..." Ryan pointed to the bottle that George wrapped in a white handkerchief.


    "This is phencyclidine!" George said. "It is a central nervous psychedelic agent. The amount he added is enough to poison more than 50 people. In severe cases, it may cause the heart to stop."


    "what?"


    Including Cameron, those who arrived afterwards glared at the guy on the ground.


    "George is right." The physician is a must-have for every crew. He glanced at it and sniffed it again. "It''s phencyclidine. This is a secondary drug."


    ps:


    Note... During the shooting on the expedition ship, someone in the photography team poisoned 50 people, including Cameron, who were admitted to the hospital. This is a real incident. ()

 Chapter 209： see you tomorrow

    The accidental poisoning incident did not hinder James Cameron¡¯s determination to continue filming. His irritable and irritable temper did not abate at all. Ryan asked George to take over the safety of the Keldish Academy. The daily diet of the crew has been strengthened.


    The research ship also left the high seas and approached the coastline of Baja California. While Ryan called the Mexican side, he also notified the Los Angeles side. Attorney Wilson would soon form a team of lawyers to put pressure on the relevant parties and bring Leo down. Extradited back to the United States.


    Even though this guy was not succumbing to James Cameron''s bashful reprimand for poisoning, his behavior has threatened his safety. He has never been soft on the enemy, Ryan, and waiting for him is bound to be prison.


    Soon, the Mexican police helicopter landed on the tarmac of the research ship and took the guy away.


    "Ryan, we should all say thank you!" Cameron said seriously as he watched the flying helicopter.


    "Jim, this is the second love you owe me." Ryan deliberately stretched out two fingers.


    "Second affection?" Cameron widened his eyes. "When was the first one, why don''t I remember?"


    "Come on, Jim." Ryan reminded. "Do you remember that Catherine Isabel? I recommended her to appear in "Game of the Brave"!"


    "Well then, except for a little money, it''s the business jet. You can choose whatever you want." Cameron knew that Ryan was joking.


    "In the future... how about directing a movie for me?" Ryan squeezed his chin, wondering what he was making.


    "In the future? The future will be better." Although Ryan looks a lot more stable when he grows up, Cameron understands that his calculations and tricks will never decrease.


    They talked and walked back to the cabin. A tall and brown-haired woman greeted him. Seeing the interaction between the other''s eyebrows and Cameron, Ryan shook his head slightly. This guy is used to it.


    This woman is called Suzi Amis. A very ordinary actress, who plays the granddaughter of old Ruth, although in the eyes of Ryan, she is about as far as beautiful from Baja California to Los Angeles, but she is the type that James Cameron admires most.


    Within a few days of filming, the two of them saw the right eyes, and they looked like Lang''s concubine intentionally. As for which stage of development it is now, Ryan can''t understand.


    This is the man in the upper echelons of Hollywood, and everyone on the crew doesn''t feel surprised. People like Cameron, regardless of talent or status, will attract quite a lot of women to post.


    Ryan did not intend to intervene, nor did he intend to notify Linda Hamilton. In mainstream American culture, for any reason, whistleblowing is definitely one of the most disgusting behaviors.


    Besides, Ryan still clearly remembered that this woman should be regarded as James Cameron''s true son. When he was reborn in the previous life, the two were still close husbands and wives.


    Of course, this has something to do with James Cameron''s lack of so many ambitions of hunting as he gets old.


    "Ryan, do you need me to introduce a girlfriend to you?" Sit back behind the camera. Both of them are tacitly aware.


    "Forget it, Jim, your aesthetics..." Ryan shook his head directly, and the two images flashed from his mind.


    "But. By the way, Ryan, it''s really rare to see someone your age who hasn''t had a girlfriend."


    "It''s just that I haven''t met the right one yet." Ryan flipped through several nearby props. I quickly found something of interest.


    "What about Natalie..."


    "Jim, is this the Heart of the Sea?"


    Opening the box in his hand, a blue diamond necklace was lying in it. Ryan immediately understood that this was the most ¡®precious¡¯ prop in the movie.


    "Yes!" Cameron nodded.


    "What about the material?" Ryan picked up the gem and shook it to the light. Unfortunately, he didn''t know anything about jewelry identification.


    "Do you want it?" Cameron was obviously a little proud. "This is made by me using zirconia, which is enough to be fake."


    "Come on, few people like this old style." Ryan put the prop necklace away, "If it''s a real blue diamond, um...I will barely accept it."


    A week later, the crew ended filming on the expedition ship, and apart from James Cameron¡¯s roar, no accidents happened.


    The crew also sent away the oldest actor. Gloria Stewart is over 85 years old and can be the grandmother of most people in the crew.


    The actor entered a short break, but James Cameron went into the studio non-stop and took a model shot. This movie will use a large number of CG composite images, and many of the Titanic shots are zoomed out. Edition model, such as a shipwreck.


    Before long, Ryan ushered in his role and played cards in the small bar to win ferry tickets.


    "Greg, it''s best to keep the hardness of my facial lines." Ryan sat in the dressing room and offered advice to the makeup artist.


    "Relax, Ryan, I will satisfy you." Greg Cannon said with a smile.


    Although this middle-aged man looks inconspicuous, he is a famous make-up master in Hollywood, and the dress of the old Ruth comes from him.


    After putting on makeup, Ryan looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. Greg Cannon retained the tough features of his face extremely well, coupled with his own outstanding acting skills. After the movie went live, Even if there is a voice of criticism, it will not be as strong as in the previous life.


    He is not a rebellious young man like Xiao Li, but also a member of the film school. He knows how to deal with those old guys. Besides, since the day the film project was established, he has been prepared for public relations. Otherwise, why would he need Mi Lamaxila comes in.


    "Oh, Ryan, believe me, you will definitely fascinate countless girls after the movie is released." Ryan has just entered the studio, and someone has already joked.


    "Come on, Danny, you look much handsomer than me." Ryan patted the shoulder of his friend in the movie.


    "Well, gentlemen, get ready!" James Cameron''s voice came from behind the camera.


    Under the direction of the assistant director, the extras quickly took their place and sat around the set ¡®bar¡¯. Ryan also sat at a square table with a stack of coins and poker in front of him.


    "Smoke, don''t forget!" A prop artist stuffed an old-fashioned cigarette into Ryan''s hand.


    The burning blue smoke curled up, Ryan clamped the cigarette between his fingers, and when he heard the start, he put it into his mouth.


    "Cut!" Just as Ryan touched a piece of poker, James Cameron called to stop!


    "Ryan! That''s a cigarette, not a chocolate bar! Cigarettes are for smoking, not for you to hold in your mouth!"


    "I see, Jim."


    "The first act of the seventh scene, start!"


    With a cigarette in his mouth, Ryan looked at the poker in his hand and inhaled a little. The smoke had just entered his mouth, and the feeling he had never had before made him unable to bear it.


    "Cough...cough..."


    During the severe cough, he spit out the cigarettes.


    "stop!"


    Cameron stood up from behind the camera, "Ryan, don''t tell me you have never smoked."


    "Fact... Well, that''s the truth." Ryan spread his hands helplessly, "This is my first time smoking."


    "God!" Cameron waved.


    "Jim, I just need to get used to it, I promise!" Maintaining the authority of the director on the set is the most basic common sense.


    Re-igniting a cigarette, Ryan endured the smoke, inhaled the cigarette completely, and slowly adjusted to the choking feeling.


    The filming process is not very smooth, especially in group scenes. As long as one person makes a mistake, he can only start from the beginning. In addition, Cameron¡¯s requirements are extremely strict and the shot pass rate is not high. At that time, the roaring will always jump. Come out to torture people''s ears.


    Even Ryan was stopped by him many times.


    Ryan is also adjusting himself as soon as possible. He has confidence in his acting skills, but the state needs to be adjusted slowly. It is not that you can come if you want to.


    "Hi, Kate."


    Since there is no scene for the time being, Kate Winslet is sitting on the side and flipping something.


    "Hello, Ryan." She raised her head.


    "What are you looking at, so serious?" Ryan was a little curious, and the other party was not holding the script.


    "Draw, Jack''s picture." Winslet handed it over. Ryan took a look at it. It was the picture clip of Jack Dawson in the movie. "James drew it?"


    "Yes." The other party nodded.


    "His painting skills are pretty good."


    Although the lines are a bit stiff, they are much better than Ryan''s ordinary painting skills.


    "Thank you for the compliment." James Cameron''s voice came from the other side. Obviously he recognized what Ryan was holding in his hand. "It''s really rare to be praised by an artistic genius."


    "However, Ryan, you will use it tomorrow, so get acquainted with it." After speaking, he started busy again.


    Cameron is right. He will use this clip in tomorrow¡¯s shots. Ryan and Kate Winslet¡¯s first scene was to draw a body sketchKate Winslet He snapped at him, then pointed to the outside of the studio. George was waving at him, and Ryan hurried out.


    "Hi, Nicole." It turned out that it was Nicole who called.


    "My dear, I will go to Mexico tomorrow."


    "That''s great." The news made Ryan excited. "What time is the plane?"


    After asking, frowned again, "I have a lot of shots tomorrow, so I shouldn''t be able to pick you up at the airport."


    "It''s okay, I will go by myself." Nicole''s voice showed her cheerful mood, "Rosario, don''t forget that I have been there once."


    "Well, I will let George drive to pick you up."


    "Well, that''s it for now, see you tomorrow, Ryan."


    "See you tomorrow, Nicole." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 210： you are mine

    "You are so serious..."


    Ryan just smiled faintly when listening to the abused words of the girl lying on the sofa, lowered his head and continued to be busy, and the charcoal pencil fell on the drawing paper, drawing smooth lines.


    Although there was a naked woman on the other side and multiple cameras dangling at him, Ryan was as calm as ever. Apart from the charming smile on the corner of his mouth, he focused all his energy on the drawing paper in front of him, like It is the general drawing of the important settings in the drawing.


    This is just the basic quality of an actor. If you can''t even do this, how can you talk about the Oscar statuette.


    "You seem to blush, great painter..."


    Kate Winslet was also very relaxed. "I don''t think Monet will blush, right?"


    This is the first scene filmed by Ryan and Kate Winslet. It was carefully selected by James Cameron. In his words, "You two must find the scene between Jack and Ruth as soon as possible. It¡¯s a feeling. I know that you rehearse together and have some understanding of the lines together, but this is far from enough. I hope you two can communicate more deeply."


    There is no careful design or rigidly following the script. Most of the scene in this scene is Ryan and Winslet playing live. The two of them vividly show the hesitation, tension and liveliness of Jack and Ruth. They are just shooting. After two times, Cameron declared the shot passed with satisfaction.


    "You seem to have a good understanding." Just sitting on the lounge chair, Ryan heard an extremely familiar voice behind him, and quickly turned around, "Nicole, when did you arrive?"


    "Is she beautiful?" Nicole Kidman didn''t answer, but leaned into Ryan''s ear and asked in a low voice.


    "Come on, Nicole, this is just filming." Ryan had already stood up, hugged Nicole, and said in a low voice. "As long as you want, I can paint for you, any time, any place."


    "Really?" Although the two of them embraced each other, their eyes clearly flashed with affection that only each other could understand, "Why didn''t I paint for you?"


    Ryan''s face turned black in an instant. This was a terrible suggestion that couldn''t be worse. He quickly pulled Nicole into the chair and changed the subject, "When did you arrive?"


    "Just when the Miss Winslet was lying on the sofa." The golden red eyebrows raised at Ryan.


    "It''s great. The filming is about to end, and we can go back to the hotel in a while." Ryan pretended not to see Nicole''s expression, "I won''t have my role tomorrow, and I will accompany you around the neighborhood."


    "Unfortunately, dear." Nicole quietly took Ryan''s arm under the cover of the chair. "There are at least twenty paparazzi who are following me."


    "It''s okay, let them take the picture casually." Ryan didn''t care. Their sibling relationship is undoubtedly the best cover.


    "Then talk about it tomorrow, I''ll go and say hello to Jim and the others."


    After speaking, Nicole stood up and walked towards the group of people near the camera. Nicole Kidman in this life is not the Nicole Kidman in the previous life. No one will ignore her weight.


    As the hotel suite door was heavily closed, Ryan just pulled it gently, and Nicole plunged into his arms, and the two pairs of blue eyes collided silently. Aroused sparks in the sky.


    Ryan lowered his head and kissed the two warm red lips, whether it was him or Nicole, in the opposite of the past gentleness. The two pairs of slender hands walked around each other''s bodies like crazy. It seems that only in this way can they express the weight of each other in their hearts and vent the longings they haven''t seen for months.


    "Oh, God, you are so rough!"


    After a long time, the two people separated, and Nicole raised her head slightly and stared at the dreamer.


    "What about you, Nicole?" Ryan raised his eyebrows, seemingly planning to do it again, "Who was biting my lip just now? I''m pretty sure, it must have been bitten by you, should I bite? come back?"


    "Come on, who is afraid of whom?" Ni can respond to the provocation by provocation.


    "Really, dear?"


    Ryan directly pressed the tall and slender girl behind the door, her entire body pressed up, and the two people hugged each other tightly amidst tusk, and could no longer tell each other.


    "Stop, Ryan!" Nicole pulled that hand out of his clothes, took a hard breath, and calmed down the line of defense that was about to collapse, "We are also going to have dinner with Jim and Jon."


    Gently squeezed his finger, Ryan seemed to still miss the soft touch just now. In the sky blue eyes, the wild light flashed away. After a few rough breaths, he let go and died. Nicole was crushed behind the door.


    "Nicole..."


    Ryan held up Nicole''s face, and finally kissed Nicole **** the forehead, but Nicole''s dissatisfaction aroused, "Ryan, I have said it many times, this is my patent!"


    "Come on, Nicole." Ryan pulled her towards the sofa. "If you don''t lift your feet, can you still kiss my forehead now?"


    Nicole gave a muffled snort. Although she didn''t want to admit it, over time, the dominance between the two inevitably changed.


    Her eyes fell on her chest, her tight-fitting cotton T-shirt became crumpled, and there was a faint pain in the part under her clothes. It can be seen how rough the guy is, and she can''t help but grind the snow white fiercely. Teeth, there is a posture of leaping forward and biting his lip.


    Then, Nicole laughed happily again, the reason is simple, the clothes on Ryan''s body are not much better, not much different from messy rags.


    I did this? Nicole blinked and quickly found an excuse for herself. I was just revenge... Yes, revenge!


    The two changed their clothes and went to the western restaurant of the hotel. Jon Landau and James Cameron were already waiting there. Next to them was another familiar person.


    "Sorry, Jim, and Jon, I talked to Nicole about "Small Island Cry" and it was late." Ryan scratched his head awkwardly, as if he was the last one to come.


    Pulling the chair away for Nicole, Ryan looked at some familiar people, "Don''t you introduce me, Jim?"


    "James Horner, just call me James." The man introduced himself.


    "Oh, I remember." The other party is also a famous Hollywood character, Ryan instantly understood why he is here, "Jim asked you to come and score the film?"


    "Yes it is."


    During the conversation, a few people quickly ordered their respective dinners. James Horner said again, "Ryan, I watched the song you attached to the back of the script. I think it is based on this song and mixed with pure instruments. The soundtrack couldn''t be more appropriate."


    "I''m a layman in this respect." Ryan waved his hand casually. He wrote "My Heart Is Eternal". As for the soundtrack, I really don''t know anything about it.


    "He is still considering what instrument to use." Cameron shook his head. "I hope he can make a few complete pieces after the movie is finished."


    "Don''t worry, Mr. Cameron, I will finish the movie before it is released!" James Horner seemed to be at odds with James Cameron.


    "Nicole, "Island Cry" is finished?" Jon Landau changed the subject without a trace.


    "The shooting is finished, and when my vacation is over, I will gather people to start post-production." Nicole was very clever and talked about the situation at the time of shooting. Newcomers, the actual shooting time far exceeded expectations, and I even suspected that I would mess up the job."


    "Look, see, Ryan Jenkins finally messed up once." Ryan cooperated with Nicole and said deliberately, "Those who are waiting to see our jokes must be secretly happy now."


    "My dear, I won''t give them this kind of opportunity!" Although Nicole''s words were light, they said vowedly.


    After dinner came up, the topic of several people quickly left the film and began to talk about the gossip scandals in the circle. The celebrities are also people, and the heart of gossip is no less than ordinary people.


    After talking a few more questions about the funding of "Titanic", the group ended the dinner. After Ryan and Ryan entered the top floor of the hotel, they looked at each other, saw the same thing, and quickly returned to their respective rooms. .


    The hour hand on the wall passed 11 o''clock, Ryan slowly buckled the notebook, opened the door and walked out.


    This is a small remote town in Mexico. The night life is not rich. After ten o''clock, the noisy city will soon quiet down.


    At this moment, there was no one in the corridor on the top floor of the hotel, only a few dim yellow wall lamps exuding a weak light. Ryan walked to the door of Nicole¡¯s room like a stroll, and gently twisted the door handle, as expected. , The door is not locked.


    "My dear, did you go to the wrong room?" Nicole was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the suite, her light blue eyes glowing.


    Ryan did not answer, he put his chest in his arms and his chin in the other, staring at Nicole Kidman who was opposite, as if he wanted to carve her figure into his mindNicole Sitting lazily on the sofa, a thin nightdress can only cover the upper body, two slender legs, like carved ivory, exuding attractive colors under the bright light.


    Seemingly unintentional, but also intentional, Nicole stretched out a little lazy waist, and under the silk-knitted pajamas, the beautiful scenery that was fascinating was vaguely revealed.


    The golden-red curly hair is still the same, the white face is comparable to fresh milk, and the light blue eyes are like a lake. It has been almost ten years, except for being more mature, Nicole does not seem to have changed at all. This is the most important thing in his life. People.


    Without hesitation, without hesitation, or even any distracting thoughts, Ryan strode forward and hugged Nicole into his arms, while kissing the two enchanting red lips painfully, he walked towards the bedroom.


    The golden-red hair brushed across his cheeks, the scent of soul wafting through his nose, and the hands holding people who had dreamed of countless times in the past and present.


    "You are mine, Nicole!"


    During the murmur, the bedroom door closed suddenly. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 211： Dear

    The long eyelashes were shaking slightly, the beautiful eyelids were slowly raised, and the watery pale blue eyes were filled with satisfaction and confusion. Nicole Kidman snorted and woke up from his sleep, remembering last night. What happened, the corners of her mouth couldn''t help but curl up, revealing a sweet and charming smile.


    The depression and depression of the past disappeared without a trace at this moment, and she felt that life had never been so beautiful.


    The majestic and powerful arms embraced her in a spacious and warm embrace from the back. The two of them were so tightly attached, and there was no gap between them. Although this posture is not very comfortable, Nicole is divided. I am obsessed with this feeling, this kind of warmth, tranquility and close connection.


    If this is a dream, she would rather never wake up again, if this is true, she wants to walk the rest of her life together like this.


    "You are mine, Ryan!" She is so firm and so confident, "No one, don''t want to take it away!"


    The slender hands slowly moved back, and Nicole knew that Ryan looked a little thin, but was actually very strong. The muscles formed by training all the year round were so perfect, and certain things were tireless like a bull.


    what are you thinking about! Nicole quickly shook her head, but once certain thoughts were formed, they would only become stronger and stronger, and her white and tender hand ran through the eight packs of abdominal muscles, and finally fell downward.


    "Nicole..."


    Seeing Ryan who wanted to put herself underneath after waking up, Nicole turned over and exhausted all her strength not to make him move, "Shut up, Ryan, I want to be on top!"


    She seemed to want to use this method to announce that she had the final say between the two.


    Of course, if Ryan had guessed Nicole''s thoughts, he would just laugh.


    After lunch, Ryan and Nicole walked out of the hotel. Both of them are good players in the acting school. There is also a sibling relationship on the bright side. No one can tell that this is a close couple. Maybe George had noticed it a long time ago, but Mr. Bodyguard not only signed a confidential contract. Still one of the people Ryan trusts most.


    "Ryan, I''m a reporter for the New Englander, can you ask a few questions?" Although most reporters were spinning around the set, many of them surrounded the hotel.


    "No comment!" Ryan was in a good mood, gestured to George, and got into the driving seat of the car.


    "Miss Kidman, I heard that "Cry on the Island" has been delayed repeatedly and is approaching the brink of failure, is that true?" There are still unwilling people knocking on the window of the co-pilot.


    "These guys!"


    With a whisper, Ryan clicked on the steering wheel violently. The sharp car horn sounded. The reporter paparazzi couldn''t help taking a step back subconsciously.


    The roar of the engine. The car rushed into the wide road, leaving only a choking exhaust.


    "This is the role model of that North American teenager back then. This is Ryan Jenkins when he grows up?" a paparazzi shouted dissatisfied.


    "That gentle boy is long gone." A reporter shook his head, "Did you not find out? Since he returned to the public eye a few months ago. What has shown is rebellion and recklessness!"


    "Didn''t you hear that, in the "Titanic" crew, a hapless guy angered him and James Cameron. He is being bitten by his lawyers, and it is said that he will be sent to a state prison. "Although the crew strictly sealed the poisoning incident, some news inevitably spread, but the rumors and the truth are always far away from the Pacific Ocean.


    "He has money. In America, he has money..." The speaker made a gesture that everyone understood.


    "You have money. What''s going on with money? As long as his Hollywood star status remains the same, he must follow the rules of the game." The reporter spoke to the New Englander.


    Others subconsciously distanced themselves from this reporter. They are all people who run in the media circle. Of course, they know that the New Englander is one of the hidden anti-Semitic media. Although the scale and influence are not too big.


    "Nicole, don''t we go around?" Ryan held the steering wheel and looked at the passenger seat from time to time. When they met Nicole''s eyes, the two always smiled knowingly.


    "Forget it, Ryan, didn''t we say we''re ready to go fishing?"


    Although she looked radiant, Nicole knew that her legs didn''t have much strength, and they were always soft after going downstairs.


    "Well then, let''s go buy fishing gear."


    The car quickly stopped by a fishing tackle shop. Ryan bought fishing rods, bait, beach chairs and other equipment, and drove Nicole to the studio.


    Fishing near the studio is not a good choice, but it is barely private land, and it is difficult for reporters and paparazzi to enter. Ryan does not want to turn fishing leisure into a press conference.


    Away from the chaotic ¡®Southampton¡¯ pier, Ryan found a remote beach, carefully arranged all the utensils for Nicole, and finally put the fishing rod into Nicole¡¯s hands.


    "The wind is a bit strong, be careful when you swing the pole."


    Hearing Ryan''s tone, Nicole couldn''t help rolling her eyes, and said dissatisfied, "Come on, Ryan, I''m not a child."


    "Well, beautiful Miss Kidman, I hope you can catch a mermaid." Ryan shook his hook and sat on the beach chair.


    "Maybe I can catch a little fish named Ryan Jenkins!" Nicole Grid smiled, and also threw the hook into the distant sea.


    "Really, Nicole?"


    The beach chairs of the two leaned very close, and Ryan naturally probed into Nicole''s face.


    "Ryan, this is not a hotel. It''s better to pay attention to it." The Australian girl hesitated for a while and pushed him back.


    With a light sigh, Ryan can guess most of Nicole¡¯s thoughts, but it takes time, capital and strength to put this relationship under the sun, as long as he grows to a sufficient height. , Even if there is criticism, what is it?


    Besides, he will make himself the main target of criticism. Nicole is used to take care of him, not to resist wind and rain.


    Just as Ryan was thinking about it, Nicole quickly pulled up the fishing rod, and the fish hanging under the hook was twisting around unwillingly.


    "Ryan, help me catch it!" Nicole shook the bundled ponytail, obviously excited.


    Watching Ryan throw the fish into the fish basket, Nicole asked curiously, "What kind of fish is this?"


    "Uh..." Ryan couldn''t help scratching his cheek, which really embarrassed him, "Probably it''s salmon? Or maybe it''s a grouper?"


    What kind of fish are abundant along the coast of North America? No one wants to lose face in front of the one he loves, Ryan racked his brains for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion-the probability of the fish recognizing himself is much higher than the probability of recognizing it.


    "Well, dear, no one is omniscient and omnipotent."


    As if knowing what Ryan was thinking, Nicole spoke a word of persuasion.


    Next, something that made Ryan crash even more happened. Nearly two hours later, he only caught a three-inch fish, but Nicole caught more than twenty, and even one of them was a crab.


    "I have to say, Ryan, fishing is also divided into talent levels." Nicole is completely hitting people.


    "Fishing is about fishing, not about fish." Ryan is plausible, all false, "You know, Nicole. I enjoy the process of fishing, not..."


    "Shut up." Nicole packed up the utensils, "I''ll leave the fish to you, Ryan."


    Nicole is carrying two fishing rods, while Ryan is carrying a large fish basket and walking towards the set. As for the two beach chairs, someone will naturally take care of them.


    After only two days, Nicole will return to Los Angeles. "Small Cry" spent too much time during the filming period. If the post-production encounters trouble again, whether it can be released within the year, it really becomes a question.


    The filming of "Titanic" is still going on. James Cameron planned a 150-day filming time. Although the filming was not smooth, the preparatory work was sufficient and many previous detours were avoided. The progress has exceeded Cameron''s plan.


    Ryan''s suggestions written in the script based on the tidbits seen in his previous life played a lot of role in it.


    While the shooting was in progress, the post-production special effects team was already busy. In order to strengthen the connection with North America, Ryan specially purchased three sets of the most advanced video conferencing equipment at a high price, which were placed on the studio in Mexico and the digital field in Venice. And the Blue Sky Studio in New York to facilitate the unified scheduling of James Cameron.


    Unexpectedly, after three consecutive stunt actors were injured, some actors asked to quit the crew. Fortunately, the main actors were not included. As for the kind of passerby-style actors, Hollywood was almost everywhere, and countless people came to look for them. The dreamer is struggling for an opportunity.


    The re-recruitment of actors was soon in place This incident shocked the American Film and Television Actors Association. Under certain pressure, they had to come to the studio to check and concluded that there were no accidents-the studio was very safe. !


    Ryan knows that his continuous success will definitely arouse the jealousy of some people. Although he has established a broad interest alliance, Hollywood cannot be completely controlled by the Jewish people. Some people definitely hope that he can make a big fuss.


    In addition to North American theaters and overseas promotion, this is one of the reasons why he brought in Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox.


    After nearly a month of intensive shooting, Ryan ushered in a rare holiday. James Cameron finally let go of the actors for the time being and went to torture the built models instead.


    During this period, Ryan, Kate Winslet and others successively moved to cabins, piers, artificial lakes, temporary studios and other locations. Not only did they often soak in the sea water, but most of the scenes also performed against the green curtain. Many people are exhausted physically and mentally.


    Ryan is not just an actor, there are many things to deal with, he must return to Los Angeles, and the team that Julius Stewart has recruited for him is already in place. ()

 Chapter 212： Review Editor

    Returning to Los Angeles from Rosario, Ryan did not even return home, and went straight to Burbank.


    Although many of them are due to work, the most important thing is that Nicole is in the editing room of Jenkins Pictures and the director is busy with the post-production of "Small Cry".


    After several years of development, Jenkins Pictures is no longer the original shell company. Although it still maintains the production model of split-account cooperation, it also has its own full-time staff. The office location was moved in last year. In a single-family three-story office building.


    To be precise, this office building used to belong to Carlock Films, the company that produced the "Terminator" series. In 1994, Carlock raised US$100 million and shot a film that almost ended a genre "Cut Throat Island". ".


    After the film was released last year, it only won a box office of less than ten million dollars and became a complete failure. The Carlock Film Company, which was originally in the upper middle position, had no choice but to declare bankruptcy and find a next home.


    Its helm, Mario Casa, was introduced by James Cameron and went to Australia to find Ryan, so Jenkins Pictures completed its first acquisition since its birth. Not only did it have professional personnel and equipment, There is also its own distribution channel.


    In addition, Ryan''s other plan is also in operation. As early as the beginning of the year, he asked Julis Stewart to send out a job advertisement to the United States to recruit screenwriters!


    That''s right, it''s recruiting screenwriters!


    No one knows better than Ryan that after entering the new century, Hollywood commercial script creation will be completely reduced to an assembly line, and it will become the norm for a dozen or even dozens of screenwriters to jointly write the same script.


    The most typical one is the successful "Charlie Girl 1". Nearly 20 screenwriters participated in the script, and the script has been revised at least 30 times-excluding the number of times the boss, Drew Barrymore, revised it on the spot. ¡ª¡ªSome screenwriters specialize in fighting, some screenwriters specialize in romance, and some screenwriters specialize in dialogue, and they perform their own duties. Successfully completed a typical popcorn script.


    Just like Ryan said before, after entering the nineties, almost all the bridge segments are almost used by commercial movies, even if it is the hugely successful "Titanic", the storyline is also not new. Poor boy The bridge with the rich girl has been around for decades, but it was caught in the sinking of the Titanic, showing the brilliance of humanity in the shipwreck.


    Even if it is recognized as an excellent creative "The Matrix", after splitting it, you will find most of the scenes. It is still the usual tactics and bridges used by Hollywood.


    The bridge sections are still those bridge sections. Creativity and new ideas are the scarcest things in this era. It is these things that Ryan lacks most.


    A person''s energy is limited. It is impossible for Ryan to sit in front of his notebook every day and write down the movies he has seen. He needs a team. An excellent team of screenwriters turned his ideas and outline settings into a complete script.


    Ryan only needs to set up the frame template and let the rest of the people fill it with specific sections and content until he is satisfied. Besides, he will only let these people fill those typical popcorn movies.


    Of course, he will still keep the two to three scripts completely written by himself every year, so that those classic movies will be marked with eye-catching Ryan Jenkins-style works.


    Entering the office building belonging to Jenkins Pictures, Ryan beckoned to the front desk. Came directly to Julius Stewart''s office.


    "Hi, Jules." Just after saying hello to Julis Stewart, Ryan saw the two kids playing on the other side, "Taylor, why are you here?"


    "Nicole brought me here." The blonde curly hair was plausible. "You went to Mexico, Austin was sick again, no one was playing with me, so Nicole took me here, at least there is Christine with me here."


    "Hi, Ryan." As if rehearsing, the other little guy beckoned him.


    "Hello, Christine." Beckoned to the tomboy, Ryan looked at Jules again, "Where is Nicole? On the second floor?"


    "In the editing room."


    "I''ll go to see Nicole first, and I''ll talk about other things later." Ryan just walked out of the office, and then there was a clear shout, "Wait for me, I also want to go."


    "And I¡­¡­"


    Amidst the pedaling footsteps, the two little guys followed, and then Taylor said triumphantly, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid of her, Christine, as long as Nicole is there, you can bully Ryan at will. You don¡¯t think you bully him so much. Are celebrities fun?"


    "What if Nicole isn''t there?" Ryan glanced at her.


    "Ah..." The little girl scratched the curly hair on her head vigorously, and then smiled flatteringly, "Ryan, aren''t we good friends?"


    "My dear, you still know that we are friends."


    After finishing speaking, he pointed to the editing room and made a shut-up gesture to the two little guys. These two guys have been playing big in the film company since they were young, so they naturally understood the rules and closed their mouths obediently.


    Nicole was originally exchanging opinions with the director, as if she had a clear heart. When Ryan opened the door and walked into the editing room, she turned her head and looked over, but didn''t say much. After giving a look, she was busy. Started his own job.


    Wait a while! Ryan naturally understood her meaning, took the two children, and sat quietly on the side. After about a few minutes, Nicole frowned and walked over.


    "Not home?"


    "There is no you at home." Ryan''s voice can only be heard by a few people around him.


    "I don''t have time to mess around with you, I still have work." Looking at Ryan''s tanned skin, the distress in Nicole''s eyes was fleeting.


    "If you are busy, I have to go to the editorial department."


    After Nicole left, Ryan looked at her side, "You two, stay here and don''t make trouble."


    "Ok!"


    "Huh~"


    Listening to two completely different voices, Ryan shook his head, went downstairs to greet Julis, and went to the meeting room of the editorial department.


    There were more than a dozen men and women in the conference room. Ryan was at the top of the conference table, tapped the table lightly, and said, ¡°The purpose of Jenkins Pictures¡¯ establishment of the editorial department is that everyone must have understood before entering the company. I think After your resume, you have a wealth of experience in the industry."


    There are no so-called newcomers sitting here. Although they are not well-known, they are a group of screenwriters who have been in Hollywood for many years and have been unwilling.


    "Let''s put it this way." Ryan stood up and took a few steps. "You should know that I have a lot of ideas, but time has limited me to turn these ideas into words or pictures. I will provide you with detailed ideas and designs. Yes, you need to complete it."


    "You have been ups and downs in Hollywood for many years. You should know that with the development of the film industry to this day, it is difficult to innovate in many segments. The biggest selling point of a script is often creative, as long as those seemingly clich¨¦d bridges A paragraph, which can perfectly match the creativity and theme of the script, it can be regarded as a very good script."


    "I will provide you with generous treatment..."


    Hearing Ryan said so, many people showed bright smiles. The treatment provided by Jenkins Pictures is already at the top level of ordinary screenwriters.


    "Also, anyone who participated in the compilation of the script can sign in the screenwriter column. If someone can come up with creative ideas and ideas, and it does have market value, I will introduce the film company to you. Future contracts At the expiration of the term, if you want to change jobs, I can also personally write a recommendation letter that matches your experience."


    The eyes of these people are all shining. The success of the signed script into a movie means a qualification. Ryan Jenkins''s personal recommendation letter is equivalent to knocking on the key to the doors of various film companies.


    They are all figures who have been in Hollywood for many years, so naturally they know the weight of those words.


    The carrot was thrown out, and then there was a stick.


    "I believe you have all carefully read the confidentiality agreement signed. Any information I provide is limited to discussion within the editorial department, and not even a letter is allowed to be spread out!"


    If someone really dared to violate the contract, Ryan didn''t mind letting Wilson lawyer organize a team of lawyers to sue the other party for bankruptcy.


    "Well, I believe in your professional ethics."


    Ryan made a gesture to Julius''s assistant, and she immediately sent them a copy of the material. This was nothing strange, just a very common comic.


    "Men in black..." someone muttered.


    Although everyone''s comic content is somewhat different, they have the same name-"Men in Black"-which was distributed with the comic, and a script outline and main settings written by Ryan.


    This comic has been born for a few years, and its reputation is not very strong. Ryan has been granted the right to adapt the film for a long time. When he took back the right to adapt the film from Sony Columbia, he almost bought it for a deal.


    "I will leave the e-mail address to you. If you have any questions, you can send me an e-mail. After the script is reviewed, I will propose corresponding amendments."


    For the first time to do this, Ryan is ready to modify the script dozens or even hundreds of times After all, the two sides need to run-in.


    "Julie, you will be responsible for this for the time being."


    The brief meeting quickly dissipated, and when the others were gone, Ryan said to the head of the company.


    "No problem, Ryan."


    In fact, after completing the acquisition of Carlock Films, most of the daily administrative work was handed over to Mario Casa.


    This once ambitious producer suffered a major blow after the failure of "Cut Throat Island" and vowed to never participate directly in film production.


    "By the way, Ryan, don''t forget the premiere of "** Day"." Jules reminded that this is the highlight of the collaboration between Jenkins Pictures and Paramount Pictures.


    "It depends on the situation then, there may not be time."


    "** Day" is naturally to be premiered on ** Day, when Ryan''s vacation was over long ago. With James Cameron¡¯s character, even the ** Day holiday will continue to be filmed. ()

 Chapter 213： Love this kind of thing

    "Why do I have to hold you?"


    Walking into an Italian restaurant, Ryan raised an eyebrow at the little girl who was holding her neck, "Honey, you are already six years old."


    "Because I''m tired." Taylor said of course, "You are a man, you have to be a gentleman, is it possible to let Nicole hold me?"


    After speaking, he smiled flatteringly at Nicole Kidman who was holding Ryan''s arm.


    "Mr. Jenkins, please here."


    The waiter walked over and led the three to the reserved position.


    "Pat should be here soon." After sitting down, Nicole checked the time and asked Ryan, "Why do you want to make an appointment here?"


    "We can''t take up too much of Pat''s spare time?" Ryan poured juice for the little guy around him, and continued, "Do you want Pat to be single for a lifetime, Nicole?"


    "Pat...well, he is indeed becoming a workaholic." Nicole smiled helplessly.


    "Which boyfriend did she break up with last month?" Ryan counted silently, and Pie? Jinsli was also considered to be unfair. While her career was brilliant, she suffered constant setbacks in her relationship, and it hasn¡¯t happened until now. Fixed male partner.


    "Hey, Pat, here."


    In Taylor''s beckoning and shouting, the manager lady quickly found her.


    "Hi, Taylor, it''s been a long time." Pie Jinsli sat next to Nicole. "My dear, I heard that you are learning a musical instrument. Do you need an agent?"


    "When I release the record, I will definitely find you as my agent." The little girl said swearingly.


    While talking and laughing, the four asked for their own meals, and asked about each other''s current situation, and then turned to the topic.


    "Hollywood Records asked when the negotiations for the next album could start, and Disney wanted to exchange equity for the right to adapt the Harry Potter series." Jinsli handed the relevant documents to Ryan.


    Going through it roughly, Ryan frowned slightly, actually. Since the release of "Toy Story", a rift has inevitably occurred between him and Disney. In particular, he has heard the news that Michael Eisner is very dissatisfied with him.


    This is normal. Anyone who is not a fool understands that when Ryan asked Pixar to terminate the distribution contract with Disney, he was clearly optimistic about the future of 3D movie animation and Pixar. However, the Disney executives headed by Michael Eisner were very happy. Agreed.


    "Toy Story" has almost become a scar for Disney. Originally, Michael Eisner''s arbitrary style was criticized, and this is an excuse for others to criticize.


    With the consolidation of power and status, Michael Eisner has completely evolved into a tyrant, and the Disney board of directors has quickly become his confession. His dissatisfaction with Ryan is not a secret.


    In fact, from the beginning, apart from personal cooperation, regardless of the film distribution channel. Ryan has never considered Walt Disney for the joint investment in super large production. Even if he parted ways now, it would not have too much adverse effect on him.


    "Disney matters aside. The Harry Potter series will not be considered on the big screen for a short time."


    As he grew older and gradually fixed his appearance, Ryan naturally turned his energies back to the film side, and also distracted from the industry under his name. These are the capital to be based on in the future and the capital to achieve another goal.


    Is it just really okay? Ryan''s eyes drifted across Nicole''s face, and he shook his head slightly. After dispelling the images in my mind, fantasy is always fantasy.


    "All right, then." Pie Kingsley sighed, then changed her tone, "Congratulations, Ryan."


    "Congratulations?"


    "Hmm~"


    Pai Kingsley explained, "The Film School of the University of Southern California has accepted your application and it will be announced as soon as next month."


    "This is really good news." Nicole started, and she held up the juice. "We should celebrate."


    "Celebrate what?" Taylor lifted his head from the plate.


    "Oh, God, this is not the style that a lady should be." Ryan took the tissues and wiped the little girl''s painted faces one by one.


    "Do you go to school?" Taylor realized, "Dad said I would go to school this summer."


    "Oh, forget, our Taylor has grown up." Nicole laughed.


    In fact, this little guy has been in preschool a long time ago, just like Ryan back then, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.


    "I didn''t expect it to go so smoothly, I thought it would take some setbacks." Together, this is the first time in two lifetimes to be able to go to college, Ryan was a little emotional.


    "Enrolling celebrities is also good for the school itself, not to mention being a recognized movie genius like you." Jinsli didn''t feel surprised at all. "George Lucas has never stopped donating to the University of Southern California over the years. ."


    Nodded, Ryan vaguely remembered that George Lucas in his previous life seemed to have donated more than 170 million US dollars to his alma mater.


    Ryan applied for a major in film and television production. This major is not to train directors or photographers, but to train professional film and television producers. It is the strongest major in the Film School of the University of Southern California, which integrates directing, photography, art, recording, and editing. , Production and many other aspects.


    In the sat test, Ryan''s results were not very good, most of the results were b-, and USC was able to pass the application. His film scores and George Lucas''s recommendation may have played a significant role.


    Well-known universities need their own signature alumni, such as George Lucas and Robert Zemikis can be regarded as the most famous alumni of the Film School of the University of Southern California.


    Ryan quickly put these aside, after all, enrollment has to wait until September at the earliest.


    "Also, Ryan, a New Zealander asked me about the rights to the "Lord of the Rings" film adaptation." Pie Kingsley said again.


    "New Zealander?" Ryan became interested. The fat man in his previous life started preparing in 1996, "What''s his name?"


    "Peter Jackson." Jinsli said the name just as he thought, "He is a New Zealand director who just completed "Terrorist Ghost" last year. I have asked people to check it. He is a very crazy Lord of the Rings fan. ."


    In the previous life, the copyright issue of "Lord of the Rings" alone caused huge disputes. From the end of 1995 to mid-97, the copyright of the film was centered on New Line, Universal, MGM, and Miramac. Si and Peter Jackson¡¯s studio had a series of confrontations and compromises before reaching an agreement.


    As early as 1993, Ryan asked Pai Kingsley to integrate the copyrights of "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" at a high price. As for whether to hand it over to Peter Jackson, it would have to be considered.


    "I don''t want to go home!"


    In the car, Taylor was making a little temper that belongs to children, "Why can''t I go home with you?"


    "My dear, there is a little problem with your room." Ryan found a reason casually.


    "I can live in the same room with Nicole." The little girl blinked at Nicole in a puzzled way. "Can''t it, Nicole?"


    "Dear¡­"


    Before Nicole finished speaking, Ryan interrupted her, "No, Tyler, you are not a kid anymore."


    "I''m only six years old."


    Seeing Ryan''s widened eyes, the little girl hid in Nicole''s arms, "I''m not afraid of you."


    "Well, Tyler, I''ll let the driver come and pick you up tomorrow morning." Nicole''s words obviously worked better than Ryan, and the little girl nodded her head quickly.


    Obviously, neither Ryan nor Nicole wanted to incorporate an unstable factor into this night that only belonged to them.


    Someone has said that once men and women have substantive contact, once the affection only evolves into a result.


    When they walked up to the second floor of the villa and turned into this space that only belonged to two people, Ryan and Nicole, who had been patient for almost a day, inevitably fell into madness.


    The two didn''t say a word, but they could feel each other''s feelings. The four lips had never been separated since they entered the second floor, and the two hands had already penetrated into their respective clothes.


    Even if it was about to suffocate, even if their cheeks were flushed, both of them couldn''t bear to let go a little bit. Under the guidance of Ryan''s lips and tongue, when Nicole was slightly awake, they had already entered Ryan''s room.


    Looking at the few clothes left on her body, Nicole put her hands on Ryan''s chest and separated a little distance to maintain the last bit of sanity.


    "I''m going to take a bath," she said.


    "Okay." Ryan nodded, but didn''t mean to let go of Nicole.


    "hold me."


    The two were in such a tacit understanding, Nicole jumped slightly, her slender legs were wrapped around her majestic waist, Ryan''s hands had already been waiting somewhere, just supporting her body.


    In the secluded bedroom, there is only one lamp that emits a dim and warm light. Nicole squinted her slender eyes and leaned on Ryan¡¯s broad chest, with one hand naughty between his chest and abdomen. Draw a circle, seem to be still thinking about something, and seem to be intoxicated in the current atmosphere.


    "To be honest, UU reading Ryan." Nicole''s eyes glanced obliquely behind, and the **** was curling his long hair between his fingers and playing, "You, when did you treat me? With such thoughts?"


    "Long ago." Ryan gave a vague answer.


    He is not stupid. If you tell the truth, God knows whether Nicole will lose his temper. Although Nicole treats him very well, he has never been a good-tempered person.


    "How early is it." Nicole was not foolish.


    "Um... Nicole, you know." Ryan began to snarly, "Love this kind of thing, regardless of high or low, regardless of age, regardless of gender, regardless of race..."


    "Regardless of race?" Nicole''s face darkened. "What are you thinking about, Ryan!"


    "You think too much, Nicole."


    Ryan hurriedly raked down, and Nicole bit his chest viciously. Amid the screams, a man and a woman became a group, which eventually turned into a war. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 214： theme song

    The sweet time is always short. Ryan soon ended his vacation and returned to Rosario¡¯s studio. Perhaps it was too relaxing these days, or perhaps Nicole¡¯s delicate body was enough to melt everything, Ryan¡¯s state It disappeared inexplicably, and several scenes with Kate Winslet got stuck.


    "Giving you a holiday is the worst choice, Ryan, I swear, if you are still like this tomorrow, I won''t let you leave Mexico before closing the mirror!" James Cameron solemnly issued a warning.


    "Oh, my God, this tyrant is losing his temper again." Kate Winslet asked curiously while finishing her costume, "Ryan, what did you do in Los Angeles? Looking for your little lover? "


    "What?" Ryan was surprised.


    "Don''t think I can''t tell, I''m an expert in this area." Kate Winslet winked at him. "To be honest, Ryan, are you in love?"


    "Of course...no!" Ryan shook his head resolutely.


    "Don''t lie, Ryan, you are now clearly a little man in love." Winslet waved his hand and walked towards the dressing room.


    "Yes?" Ryan rubbed his face subconsciously.


    Kate Winslet¡¯s words easily evoked Ryan¡¯s memory. The day before returning to Rosario, he and Nicole lingered all night, wishing to pack each other away. Isn¡¯t it just the expression of falling in love with each other? ?


    This guy! Ryan shook his head, but didn''t care too much. Once Kate Winslet guessed something, she couldn''t figure out who she was with. Secondly, she was a smart person and wouldn''t speak nonsense.


    Probably it was James Cameron''s threat. After a day of adjustment, Ryan found his inexplicable state again. Then the crew moved to the studio and started shooting some shots of the bow.


    The bow-like platform has already been erected in the temporary studio. Ryan and Danny Nucci, who played Fabrizio, were leaning on the railing, looking around with curious eyes. The surroundings were not blue sky and blue sea, but green curtains.


    Ryan grabbed the cable with one hand and stood on the guardrail at the bow, with his arms stretched out, as if he wanted to experience the feeling of flying in the wind.


    "I am the king of the world!" He waved his hands and exclaimed in excitement. "Wow~wow..."


    The lens passed smoothly, but unfortunately, it was not a wide sea, but a small studio. The excitement came faster and went faster.


    "I am the king of the world, oh, Ryan, you can always write some incredible lines." Danny Nucci said in admiration. "This will definitely become a classic line, and it will be as classic as''Life will always find a way out.''"


    "Thank you, Danny." Ryan patted his arm and jumped off the bow.


    The filming of the entire movie is a long and torturous process. With unprecedented motivation and unprecedented pressure, James Cameron devoted himself to work. Sometimes the actors can rest on weekends. He also took the model team and the filming team to shoot the model shots. It is even more common to have video conferences with Venice and New York until midnight.


    "Jim, do you remember those things that happened when we first met?" Ryan also cheered him up from time to time.


    "whats the matter?"


    "When a commercial film adapted from real events gets an amazing or even unprecedented box office. Do you think the film academy will bow your head?" Ryan''s words gave James Cameron a huge motivation.


    "I have passed with Paramount, Miramax and Twentieth Century Fox, as long as you need, I can pay another 30 million US dollars for this movie! I personally pay for it!" Ryan''s additional investment, let While Cameron was delighted, he was under unprecedented pressure.


    If this movie fails, Ryan may turn over, but he is very likely to be finished.


    As a result, James Cameron further transformed from a tyrant on the set to an uncompromising perfectionist and a three-hundred decibel screamer. Even the loudspeaker used by the captain was willing to bow before his loud voice.


    "Damn it! This is not what I want!" This is the most yelling words he shouted.


    As the shooting progresses, all the shots in the cabin and the studio are completed, and the following scenes will be a huge test for both the actors and the photography team.


    The crew moved to the artificial lake with 500,000 gallons of water, and began to film the footage before and after the shipwreck. Ryan and others had to soak in cold water for several hours a day. Many people were soaked in the sea water and wrinkled. Tired and difficult for the audience in front of the screen to understand.


    Prolonged shooting in the water, as well as excessive fatigue and mental stress, led to large-scale outbreaks of influenza and kidney infections in the crew. More and more extras have withdrawn from the crew. After these people returned to North America, the media began to sporadically target The report of the "Titanic" crew aimed directly at the demanding James Cameron.


    Ryan understands that relaxation is beneficial to the operation of the crew. He makes people purchase large purchases from nearby cities. In addition to improving the crew¡¯s diet as much as possible, he also regularly organizes parties to relax the tightness of the entire team. Root nerve.


    After each party, you can see pairs of wild mandarin ducks around and on the set. Perhaps this is the best way to relax your nerves?


    Of course, the biggest weapon for improving morale is money. After Ryan announced the overall increase in the remuneration of crew members, those hidden dissatisfaction gradually dissipated.


    "I''m fine, Nat! What? You saw it in the newspaper? Yes, it is true that an actor was injured, but no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents in such a large shooting venue. Just rest assured, I will pay attention. Safe! Jim? He is a little bit temperamental. Haven¡¯t you met him? He just wants to make this movie as perfect as possible. I¡¯m sorry, Nat, can¡¯t participate in the premiere of your movie. Okay, That''s it. If you have time, you can come to visit Mexico? What? I will protect myself, thank you, Nat, I miss you too!"


    After reading some newspaper reports, Natalie called specifically to remind him to pay attention to safety. Ryan has always attached great importance to his safety and will naturally not relax.


    The God of Doom finally chose the hapless Kate Winslet. When she was shooting the shipwreck scene, she suddenly fell into the water. If it wasn''t for the extras around her to get her hands sick and pull her up, it would probably be serious. Even so, Winslet almost drowned.


    Next, a series of unexpected things happened to her. From the next day Winslet started to have a high fever, and finally turned into pneumonia, and she had to be admitted to the hospital.


    "Ryan, if possible, I would never work with James Cameron again, I swear! God, arm injuries, flu, needless to say, I almost drowned! This is horrible! "


    When Ryan went to the hospital to visit her, Kate Winslet broke out a series of complaints, "His requirements are too strict! This filming is simply a disaster."


    "Trust me, Kate, we are on the road to create miracles, and you will never regret being in this movie." Ryan can only do his best to comfort.


    Time has entered August, and more and more group shows have been filmed. At the most, Rosario''s temporary studio once gathered thousands of actors and hundreds of reporters along with it.


    Reporters and paparazzi surround the set. Whether it is a handyman or an extra, they are all interviewed. Everyone wants to dig out some exclusive news and send it back to North America.


    As the soundtrack, James Horner came to the set for the second time, and also brought the singer of the theme song, also recommended by Ryan.


    The long flax hair was scattered behind his head, and the pointed chin made his face a little longer, but with a different kind of delicacy, it was Celine Dion.


    However, Ryan focused most of his eyes on the person behind her. It was a man with a bright forehead, white temples, and a little blessed.


    Senior master! Ryan sighed in his heart.


    "Hello, Miss Celine Dion, I have heard your song, like a natural sound." Ryan said courteously.


    "Thank you, Ryan." Both sides are unfamiliar, but they have always met several times.


    "Oh, Ryan, have you heard Celine''s song?" Rennie Angell greeted him from behind, and shook his hands firmly with Ryan, "I am..."


    "Rene, Miss Dion''s agent." Ryan said politely.


    "Thank you for recommending Celine to sing this song."


    Although Celine Dion began to establish her status as a queen, she was able to sing the theme song in a record-breaking production, which was beneficial and harmless.


    "Jet!" Ryan called an assistant to come over He was going to the dressing room soon, "Excuse me, there are my scenes below, Jim is also shooting, let Jett bring Go around on the set."


    Entering the dressing room, Ryan still feels a little bit emotional. Despite his low reputation, Renee Angell is a master of first-class, whether he is an agent or other aspects.


    He discovered and signed Celine Dion when she was twelve years old, and spent countless efforts on her, and finally made Dion a superstar in the queen class, although the two only made it public in 1993. Love affair, but people in the circle know that they lived together very early, and some even suspect that Celine Dion was only thirteen years old when they were together.


    But at that time they were neither in the United States nor in California, and even if someone reported them, there was not much to do with them.


    Think about them after they got married. Renee¡¯s body is dead, and Celine Dion can still give birth to him willingly through in vitro fertilization. How can such a high level not make people admire him? .


    Of course, it is undeniable that what Renee Angelil paid for Celine Dion is also worthy of her doing him so. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 215： Camerons Blade

    Thousands of extras swarmed into the crew at once, which inevitably caused management problems. Although Ryan and Cameron issued strict passwords, some news was still spread outside, especially those originally originally. A message that only circulates within the crew.


    For example, accidents occurred during filming, large areas of extras quit, various complaints from the staff, James Came''s bad temper, Ryan Jenkins''s incomprehension of temperance, and so on.


    It was like a balloon that had been inflated to the extreme and was punctured by a needle. Numerous negative news was spread from the crew. When Ryan noticed all this, a lot of it had already appeared in the newspapers.


    Most of the media''s statements are quite polite. After all, Ryan has past achievements as a guarantee. Even if accidents happen to the crew, who can guarantee that he will not continue to succeed.


    "It is said that the cost of shooting the Titanic has increased to 250 million US dollars, which will bring a very bad atmosphere. If this film is successful, it will give Hollywood a hint that only large investment and large production are the guarantee of profit. In this way, in the event of an accident, many film companies can only go bankrupt." Some filmmakers of the older generation may not be used to this kind of film production mode, and vaguely criticized it.


    The mainstream media focused on the huge investment in the film, as well as the accidents that occurred during the filming process. They even dug up the fact that Kate Winslet nearly drowned.


    In general, the mainstream media reports are fairly fair, even if there is occasional criticism, it is adequate.


    However, the tabloids that are in the hands of some people have launched crazy negative hype about "Titanic". Among them, "The New Englander" is the representative, this newspaper with a large circulation, even on the front page. A column called "Observing the Titanic" was opened, which described negative news in detail.


    "So far, "Titanic" has been prepared from the beginning. It has been more than two and a half years for the shooting to the present, and it has been a long way from completion. We got confirmation from insiders on the crew, just a few days ago. Ryan Jenkins was caught To be helpless, I can only invest 30 million US dollars again and push the production budget to 250 million US dollars. Don¡¯t think that he is full of confidence in James Cameron. This is absolutely helpless. After all, giving up now means upfront. The $220 million invested has all been lost."


    "A person in the know told me. There is a kind of remark spreading within the crew-Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron are the biggest idiots in Hollywood history-they spend money on a lot of places that shouldn''t be spent, in first class. The carpets cost millions of dollars. Porcelain, furniture, etc. are even big gold swallowers. Even the food produced for a banquet is as high as nearly 200,000 US dollars. In our opinion, they are not just fools, but lunatics! "


    "Although Ryan Jenkins has hundreds of millions of fortunes, most of them are stocks and fixed assets. There is only one end of such a large investment. In the near future, Hollywood will usher in a bankrupt film company-Jenkins Pictures!"


    ¡°It¡¯s been three months since the crew started up. Let¡¯s see what happened during this period. A stuntman was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital. Three stunt actors quit after being injured. Eighty-seven actors couldn¡¯t stand the harsh filming. The environment and James Cameron¡¯s bad temper took the initiative to resign. The heroine Miss Kate Winslet nearly drowned and then contracted pneumonia. Rosario was not a set at all, but a huge disaster!"


    "The most surprising thing is that a member of James Cameron¡¯s filming team, because he couldn¡¯t stand his violent reprimand, actually poisoned the crew¡¯s food, although Ryan Jenkins¡¯ bodyguards discovered and prevented him in time. But will a crew with intensified internal conflicts succeed?"


    "The Titanic is destined to be frozen. It will sink like that huge cruise ship..."


    The "New Englander" has led many tabloids, and they have opened up columns for follow-up reports. The critic named Gary Granham also published articles in his column.


    ""Future Water World" invested 200 million U.S. dollars at the box office of 80 million U.S. dollars, "Cut Throat Island" invested 100 million U.S. dollars at the box office of 9.8 million U.S. dollars, and "Titanic" invested 250 million U.S. dollars at the box office?"


    Ryan only sneered when he saw it, "Why didn''t he list "** Day"? Just because it is sweeping the summer file?"


    "The New Englander" is like a dog-skin plaster, glued to the crew. The column they set up will report the so-called inside information every day, listing all the accidents that happened during filming, even if someone has a foot. Will also be observed under a microscope, and finally draw the conclusion of the fracture.


    Although the security measures on the set are the strictest, no one can prevent accidents, not to mention shooting a shipwreck.


    Thousands of actors gathered on the set. Even if someone revealed the news to reporters, there was no way to find out in a short time. Ryan, fortunately, always maintained a fairly stable mentality, plus Nicole came to visit the class again in the middle, even if Emotions also vented out.


    James Cameron was under tremendous pressure. Although he would not take the initiative to read the newspaper, some comments would inevitably reach his ears.


    "Find out who the person who leaked the secrets to the paparazzi and reporters is, I will kill him myself." He roared in the temporary office.


    "Jim..."


    Ryan was sitting on the sofa, and just as he spoke, he was interrupted, "Let George find the man, Ryan!"


    "Come on, Jim." Ryan asked with a smile while drinking coffee comfortably, "Jim, do you know Tina Brown?"


    "Of course, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair." Cameron nodded.


    "I really appreciate what she said." Ryan knocked on the coffee table below. "It is worse than being discussed by no one! From another perspective, they are promoting "Titanic". ."


    "These are all negative news." Although Cameron is not very good at dealing with the media, he is not a fool. "You mean..."


    "Yes." Ryan nodded, "There are also media that will support us. I have already asked public relations to let most people remember "Titanic" by this opportunity!"


    Just as someone was injured yesterday, someone is seriously ill today, someone drowns tomorrow, and when the negative news is heated, the spokesperson of the "Titanic" crew suddenly announced that Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron will meet in the near future. A joint press conference was held on Rosario''s studio.


    In an instant, the focus of the nation''s entertainment media shifted from the country to Mexico. Hundreds of media sent their capable forces to Mexico, a city that was not well known.


    On the day of the press conference, hundreds of reporters were crammed into the temporary meeting room of the studio. Five high-power air conditioners were running at the same time, which still couldn''t stop the heat.


    "Some people say that Jim and I are the biggest idiots in Hollywood." Ryan pointed to Cameron who was sitting next to him. "I want to ask the person who wrote this article, who has seen two who have never failed in a movie? That fool!"


    In keeping with his tone, Ryan knocked **** the table.


    The reporters were a little stunned. Even though they had heard of it, Ryan Jenkins was no longer the Ryan he was when he was a child, but he didn''t expect that he would speak such sharp language when he came up.


    "I know that some people are waiting to see me and Jim¡¯s jokes. During this period of time, the crew has been bombarded by certain media. The people who wrote these things have never read the script, never watched the clips we filmed, and never Haven''t been on the set, the insider? Who is the insider? You? Me? Or him?"


    "There are also actors injured. There will be no accidents when shooting which movie, not to mention that we were shooting a huge shipwreck! 87 extras were launched on the crew, do you know how many extras were used in this movie? More than 2,000 people ! Will the withdrawal of some extras affect us?"


    "Then Miss Kate Winslet''s injuries and poisoning incidents are always real, right?" A reporter in the front row finally caught Ryan between talking and asked a question.


    "No comment!" Ryan closed his mouth altogether, and Cameron opened his mouth tacitly, "Some people say that this movie will fail, and I will never have any more films to shoot from now on, so I can only leave Hollywood dingy. ..."


    An unexpected thing happened, Cameron suddenly took out a blade from his pocket, and on it was a striking line of letters written in a black oil pastel pen.


    "If the movie sucks, use it!" he said, pointing to the blade.


    "Wow~" The reporter below broke out immediately. This is big news.


    James Cameron took away Ryan''s limelight with only one move, and all the cameras shot him and the blades continuously.


    "Jim..."


    When he walked out of the conference room, Ryan shook his head and didn''t know what to say, even though he knew past life James Cameron did encourage and persecute himself with a blade.


    "I just said to use it, but didn''t say what it was used for." Cameron showed a sly smile.


    "Trust me, Jim, no matter what you do with it, you have no chance."


    This press conference has attracted the attention of many people, especially James Cameron''s move, which is better than any hype and attracted a lot of attention.


    Then, the media, led by Vanity Fair and Los Angeles Times, began to publish a large number of the latest news about the film preparation process and the crew. These were almost all positive news, and formed a confrontation with the newspapers that kept publishing negative news. , Thoroughly heated up the topic of "Titanic".


    At the same time, Ryan asked Yahoo''s website to start to work, constantly revealing the specific circumstances of the shipwreck that year, focusing on the glorious side of human nature. After all, it is a recognized fact that most of the survivors of the Titanic are women and children.


    Multi-pronged, quite a lot of the public knows that next year there will be a super large production called "Titanic" with an investment of 250 million US dollars. ()

 Chapter 216： USC Film Academy

    After entering September, the shooting progress far exceeded expectations, and the film was no longer too far away from the closing of the film. The reason why the crew progressed so smoothly was that in addition to the precise advance planning, the huge budget set at the beginning played a vital role.


    To put it bluntly, many problems are actually money problems. As long as there is sufficient financial support, most of the difficulties will be solved.


    Ryan once again bid farewell to Rosario''s studio and returned to Los Angeles, because the School of Film at the University of Southern California was about to open.


    "Why do you want to apply for a dormitory for me?"


    Looking at a little bit of luggage, Ryan stood in the middle of the living room and asked Nicole Kidman. Because of his busy shooting, most of his matters before entering school were handed over to Nicole and Jinsi. Li is dealing with it.


    ¡°It¡¯s about an hour¡¯s drive from USC to Beverly Hills. It will take longer to get stuck in traffic. If you have classes throughout the day, do you have to go home at noon? Don¡¯t talk about finding a house or renting a hotel there. The suite, what the security in that area is like, I must have heard of it."


    If Nicole wants to persevere, she can find 10,000 reasons, "That''s just a place to rest temporarily. You must know that the dormitory of Southern University is always very tense. In order to find you a suitable place to rest, Pat is looking for George helped."


    The George she was talking about was naturally George Lucas.


    "I remember there should be cafes and restaurants on campus..." Seeing Nicole''s insistence, Ryan closed his mouth, looked at the time, and finally asked, "Are you sure not to come with me?"


    "Come on, Ryan." Nicole rolled her eyes. "You went to the University of Southern California, not St. John''s Elementary School."


    The University of Southern California is located in downtown Los Angeles. Just like Nicole said, it is a distance from Beverly Hills, and the surrounding neighborhoods such as Raymond and Normandy are very poor. Shootings happen from time to time, especially for overseas students. Here day and night are basically two worlds.


    Strolling on the campus of USC, Ryan rarely has the mood to appreciate the scenery. Although some people keep paying attention, and there are people who don¡¯t know will say hello suddenly, there is no siege and interception. This may be related to Nan Increase the number of film art schools in the United States?


    Simply inquired about the next route. Ryan and George quickly found the location of the film school, a very beautiful campus complex.


    Quite different from other buildings in Southern California, the gates of the Film Academy are Latin-style domes and pillars, with a sloped roof with a rustic charm of Mexico, which highlights the solemnity and weight of the building. Most of the buildings behind the gate are Earthy yellow wall. The brown sloping roof is filled with tall palm trees in the courtyard.


    Entering it, the first thing Ryan saw was the full-body statue of Douglas Van Punk. He held the sword in his right hand and the movie script in his left hand, as if showing the dynamic and passion of creation.


    In fact, the School of Film at the University of Southern California and the School of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have always maintained close ties. The latter can be said to be the strong backing of the former, and the former also continuously pumps fresh blood for Hollywood to the American film and television industry every year.


    The film and television production major chosen by Ryan is the strongest major in the college and is absolutely ranked first among similar majors in the United States.


    It might have something to do with George Lucas¡¯s greeting in advance. Ryan quickly completed the formalities and received the course schedule and assignment instructions. After a small circle in the film school, he got acquainted with the environment. George returned to the car to take the luggage and went to the dormitory that had already been lined up.


    "Why do I feel like a relative?" Ryan muttered to George. Mr. Bodyguard, but said nothing.


    Ok! When I get richer in the future, I will also learn from George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, and give a huge donation to the film school to build a building called Ryan Jenkins.


    Unfortunately, the Lucas Tower and Spielberg Tower will not be visible until the new century.


    Under the leadership of the housekeeper. Ryan went all the way to the dormitory of the apartment on the third floor.


    "This is it, Mr. Jenkins."


    The housekeeper opened the door and gave Ryan the corresponding key at the same time, "This is a two-person apartment, currently only you are staying, and the other person must be coming soon."


    "Thank you, Mr. Luen, just call me Ryan." Ryan shook his hand again and sent him out.


    This is a very ordinary American apartment dormitory. In addition to the two bedrooms, there are many living rooms, bathrooms, and small storage rooms. The decorations are fairly neat. Although it is not comparable to the home, it is used as a temporary resting place. enough.


    Randomly chose a bedroom, and Ryan swiftly put away the items he received and brought. Although there was a tendency to be overspoiled by Nicole in the past few years, he was still degraded to life waste.


    Walking onto the bedroom balcony, Ryan nodded in admiration. There is a pool of clear water right in front of the apartment building, the Southern University Library on the right, the college lawn on the left, and lush palm forests in the distance. The environment is quite similar. Yes, except for the higher charges in the dormitory, there are not too many shortcomings.


    Before long, a knock on the door sounded, and then there was a conversation between George and another person. Ryan guessed that it was the roommate who had arrived, and immediately walked from the bedroom to the living room.


    "Hello, this is Ryan Jenkins." Ryan stretched out a hand politely.


    This was a dark brown-haired man less than six feet old, and he looked like he should be ten** years old. He looked at Ryan, then scratched his head, as if he couldn''t believe it.


    "I...you...oh, my God! I didn''t expect me to live in the same dormitory with Ryan Jenkins." He sighed with emotion, and quickly shook Ryan''s hand, "Darren Bousman, from Kansas."


    "Ryan... can I call you that? Wow, that''s great." He asked again, "Are you studying at the film school? What major?"


    "Film production." Ryan gestured to him to sit down, "Sit down, Darren."


    "I am also a major in film and television production." Darren Bowsman was quite excited.


    "Do you need my help?" Ryan pointed to his luggage on the floor, and the guy scratched his head. "No, I can do it myself. I will clean up first. Will we talk about it later?"


    Ryan made a gesture of inviting, found the course schedule and classwork instructions he received and looked through it.


    There are no pure theoretical courses in the film school. Almost all the coursework is combined with practice. The teachers and professors have rich practical experience, especially the comprehensive production courses selected by Ryan. Pay more attention to practice. After the initial course, each semester needs to use a small camera to shoot a five-minute story as homework.


    The filming person must personally participate in all the processes from script writing to finding actors to editing. All the links are solved by learning while doing and asking. If you haven''t been in contact with this industry before, you will definitely suffer in the early stages.


    This profession trains producers who are in control of the overall situation. It not only requires students to be familiar with Hollywood-style production methods, but also have enough ability to participate in it.


    Of course, these are not problems for Ryan. He has been to many studios and directors and producers. It is unique in the same age group.


    "I have been interested in photography since I was very young. It is my ideal to be a director." Darren Bousman quickly walked out of the room. After a few chats, he saw Ryan. With a gentle attitude, he gradually relaxed, "My greatest dream is to become a director of horror films."


    "Horror movie?" Ryan was a little strange.


    "Yes!" Darren Bousman sat on the sofa. Said with certainty, "Ryan, I like "Scream" very much. I like the **** feeling in the movie very much. It''s really wonderful."


    Ryan found out that this is a heavy taste lover.


    "Ryan, maybe we can cooperate in the future..." The more he talked, the less marginal he got.


    "Come on, Darren, it will take us four years to graduate." Ryan finally interrupted this seemingly idealist madness.


    The students who graduated from the Film School of Southern California University do have an advantage over those from Ye Luzi. But if you really want to take a shot for a movie, it requires not only ability, but also enough opportunities.


    This age group was the most energetic time, Ryan entered the apartment upstairs without dressing up, and soon the news of his presence here spread. People from several nearby apartment dormitories came to greet them one after another. Ryan also got acquainted with these people one by one. Communication is also a compulsory course in the university.


    "Hello, Ryan, this is Chen Jiazheng and I come from China." What Ling Ryan did not expect was that one of them was an international student from the Far East.


    Looking at the other party''s yellow skin, black hair and black eyes, as well as the remaining Chinese accent, Ryan could only sigh for a long time.


    "In the past few years, I used to go to Hong Kong because of publicity, and it was very impressive." Ryan asked him to sit down and said casually.


    "I read it in domestic entertainment magazines. It was promoting "Jurassic Park", right?"


    Hearing what the other party said, Ryan nodded, "Yes, it was 1993, and I went..."


    I really can''t think of how to translate it, so he had to change to a little bit of Chinese Luohu Port, which should be the name. "


    "You can speak Chinese?" Chen Jiazheng was a little surprised. Although Ryan''s words were a bit blunt, they were more standard than the Chinese pronunciation he had seen in the United States.


    "I learned it before. I have always been more interested in Eastern culture, such as Chinese cuisine." Ryan shook his head again, "Originally, I wanted to go there to see it, but it''s a pity that China introduced "True Lies" and "Jurassic Park" is too late."


    "Actually, it was only after watching these two films last year that I made up my mind to study here." Chen Jiazheng is an international student at the Film Academy. "I really don''t know that Chinese films have been left so far by the world. ."


    He has been here for a while, and naturally he knows the huge reputation of the young man opposite in Hollywood.


    It''s rare to meet someone who knows the film industry on the other side relatively well. Ryan listened to some news without a trace, and then combined the memories in his mind to make a rough inference about the film market there, so that Jenkins and Pella Meng Pictures further in-depth development.

 Chapter 217： Yahoo

    After the professor and several teaching assistants left, dozens of students broke out, almost even the roof overturned, and many people approached Ryan one after another, looking at these surprised guys, Ryan patiently Shaking hands with them greeted them, showing good demeanor and upbringing.


    "Please pay attention, if you break the equipment here, Professor Gret will definitely kill us."


    Ryan finally got out, and kept reminding everyone that the place where they were attending class was not an ordinary classroom, but more like a studio, full of background lights, props, cameras and other equipment.


    "They are so enthusiastic about you." Out of class, Darren Bousman joked.


    After a day of getting along, he found that Ryan was quite gentle with people. Although he never answered the gossip questions he asked, he did not have the air of a legendary star.


    "I would rather they treat me as an ordinary classmate." Ryan knows that his identity and past experience are what attracts these people. After all, everyone knows that he has a movie company with a very good momentum of development.


    The film academy has its own cafe and restaurant. Just as the two of Ryan chose an open-air seat, they discovered that someone was chasing after him. It was a tall young man with chestnut hair.


    "Hi, Ryan." The opponent walked straight to him.


    "Hello, may I ask you..." Ryan was confident that he had never seen him.


    "David Hammer, one of the leaders of the USC Brotherhood, you can call me David."


    "Hello, David." Ryan faintly guessed his purpose.


    The Brotherhood and Sisterhood are the most famous student organizations in American universities and have a long history. For example, the Skull and Bones, the Brotherhood of Yale University, was founded in 1832.


    As the name suggests, these two organizations only recruit male members and female members, respectively. They are social organizations whose main purpose is to expand contacts. Most of them are controlled by some wealthy children, and many celebrities were members of these two organizations during their college years.


    Of course, entering the new century. The reputation of these two organizations is getting worse, especially after a certain movie. It''s almost become synonymous with carnival and party.


    Sure enough, the other party''s next words were to invite to join the Brotherhood. Although Ryan did not have any commendable life experience, the value he created alone could kill quite a few rich people in North America, not to mention that he himself was a billionaire.


    "If you are willing to cancel those inexplicable tests, I can consider it."


    Ryan is so interested in brotherhood. However, those admission tests were basically pranks, and he didn''t want people to behave like monkeys.


    "This..." David Hammer was obviously embarrassed by Ryan''s request to break the tradition.


    "That''s it for the time being, David." Ryan waved his hand at him.


    "Then... OK. After we discuss it, we will give you an answer."


    There is a friendship among the fraternities across the United States. Although entering into it will bear certain obligations, it can weave a huge network of contacts. The people of the fraternity are really too much to play. But teenagers across the United States basically come here in this way.


    It is undeniable that there are many dudes in the Brotherhood, but a considerable number of people will become elites in all walks of life after entering society.


    After so many years, Ryan has adapted to the Western way of thinking. I know that we cannot use the eyes of previous lives to look at the lifestyles of teenagers in the United States, especially in several coastal states.


    Here, carnivals, nightlife, and big-size smoking are the norm in universities.


    "Why don''t they invite me?" Darren Bousman muttered.


    "Darren, do you want to do push-ups on broken glass? Or do you want to walk around school in stinky clothes?" Ryan said these, but the fraternity''s usual tactics.


    After semester started, Ryan had to diversify part of his energy to his studies. To a certain extent, American universities can be said to be easy to enter and difficult to leave. It is not so easy to graduate successfully.


    Ryan wants to systematically learn the knowledge of film production. He is not here to mix his diploma. He has a long road ahead. After 2014, what else can be copied in this world?


    As he said, hard work and struggle are the indispensable conditions for maintaining success. His starting point is already higher than 99.9% of the people. If this is the case, he will fail in the future, it is better to drink directly. Forget a bottle of vodka.


    Fortunately, the courses are not too tight, and Ryan is an experienced and talented person, and it is not difficult to learn, as long as he maintains proper input.


    "Titanic" he only left a few scattered shots, this part of the scene was pushed to October, Ryan specially waited for the crew to close the scene before going back, planning to connect Kate Winslet and other actors in order to do a good job for James Cameron. Prepare a gift.


    These people have been in the fire for several months, and there must be proper channels to vent them, right?


    In his spare time, in addition to hitting the unfinished "Jurassic Park 2", Ryan began to frequently run to DreamWorks. He wanted to dub the post-production of "Cat and Mouse Game". The Jewish director thoroughly let Ryan know what it is. Pilberg speed, "Cat and Mouse Game" will be released during the year without pressure.


    In fact, with the help of him and Cameron¡¯s hype about "Titanic", DreamWorks has released the first trailer. This is the first time Ryan has been featured in a movie since "Terminator 2". The starring role has attracted considerable attention.


    Tens of thousands of fans have left messages on the DreamWorks website, hoping to see their idol again on the big screen as soon as possible.


    You know, in English-speaking areas such as Britain and the United States, there are a large number of young people who have grown up reading his novels and stories, listening to his songs, and watching the movies he conceived. In the future, there will be a large number of children repeating this path. Eun¡¯s plan to cultivate fans from an early age was undoubtedly quite successful.


    In the past two years, although the figure has faded out of public view, Ryan''s works have never been interrupted. Even if some of the popularity is inevitably lost, the ones who persisted are undoubtedly **** fans.


    It would be good for them to evolve into fanatics, for example, like I saw Nat in my previous life...


    If Ryan''s ideas can come true, with the support of millions or even tens of millions of young people in the future, the pressure he faces will be infinitely reduced.


    In addition, Ryan has to take time to reply to the various questions of the screenwriters in the editorial department. With the cooperation of more than 20 screenwriters, the first draft of "Men in Black" finally appeared in his mailbox, Ryan. I read it carefully, filled the document with suggestions for modification, and then typed it back and reworked it.


    In mid-September, good news came from Scott. Yahoo delayed the listing time several times due to financial problems. At this time, it finally passed the audit and successfully landed on Nasdaq.


    On the first day of listing, Yahoo¡¯s stock price tripled, with a market value of as high as one billion U.S. dollars. Since then, it has been continuously bullish, becoming a cyber hero in everyone¡¯s eyes, and even the financial media called it one of the first batch of Internet hegemons. One.


    The shares held by Ryan quickly evolved into a huge amount of wealth, which surprised those who criticized him for not having a business vision.


    Not to mention anything else, after the first taste of the sweetness of Pai Jinsli and Scott Swift, they always followed the investment habitually, and the equity they held in their hands exceeded tens of millions of dollars.


    Unlike Ryan and Scott intending to hold stocks for a long time, after the stock price rose to a certain height, Jinsili transferred the shares in her hands, used the funds and the investment drawn from Nicole, and created a broker People company.


    Ryan didn''t say much. Everyone has their own ideals and desires to realize. It is not a secret that Pie? Jinsli wants to set up a brokerage company.


    Such a brokerage company is incomparable with giants like Caa, and Jinsli also knows this. She targets second- and third-line actors.


    Anyway, Nicole invested a lot of money in it, Ryan simply introduced them to sign some people, such as Charlize Theron who just appeared in "Scream 2" this year, such as the gradually popular Cate Blanche Especially, such as Lindsay Lohan, who has cooperated with him in advertising a few years ago, Scarlett Johansson, who has gradually revealed his talent, and so on.


    Of course, the biggest signs of this brokerage company called kk are Ryan and Nicole.


    If the success of one investment is accidental, then it is difficult not to attract the attention of the financial world if the success of investing in Yahoo and Pixar continuously, and obtaining returns of tens of times, is difficult.


    "Perhaps Ryan Jenkins does lack practical skills in business or finance, but his vision is as accurate as in movies. He can always grasp the context of the market and find opportunities from it, whether it is the entertainment industry or the it industry. Those. Those who question his investment in Pixar and Yahoo should shut up, otherwise, before criticizing him, please come up with a better result than him."


    This is a short summary from the Wall Street Journal, the most important financial newspaper for the first time to set its sights on Ryan.


    Valuable and value-generating people will definitely be welcomed by the vast majority of peopleMany media outlets have sent an interview invitation to Pai Jinsli, and I want Ryan to talk about the latest experience. .


    Among them, there are such important business magazines as Fortune.


    After discussing with Pai Kingsley, Ryan agreed to Fortune''s interview request, used his spare time to go to the Burbank Time Warner building and accepted a joint torture by two famous reporters.


    In fact, as business reporters, their questions are not sharp. Most of them revolve around the development of investment, business and entertainment industries, and seldom mentions * and gossip.


    The rhetoric prepared by Ryan is naturally optimistic about the future of computer technology and the Internet, and then praised the Hollywood-style entertainment industry model, without much substantive content.


    Moreover, taking this opportunity, he talked a lot about "Cat and Mouse Game" and "Titanic", and made some pre-publicity for the two films.

 Chapter 218： curse

    "Wow, the cover character of Fortune, Ryan, you are really amazing."


    Natalie was sitting in the co-pilot of the Land Rover, staring at Ryan, who was attentively driving, with a strange look.


    "Come on, Nat, do you have to use this tone?" Ryan glanced at her, then quickly turned his head back.


    Different from the last time we met, Natalie''s appearance is completely opened, and she has a faint demeanor that belongs to her. The idol of the past life and the friend of the present life have almost become the same person.


    "Why not?" Natalie finally turned her gaze back.


    After all, they hadn''t seen each other for more than half a year, and neither of them had any thoughts of quarreling. Natalie came to Los Angeles yesterday. In addition to attending an event notice, she also signed a new agent contract with Pai Kingsley.


    "Nate, you don''t have to be afraid of him, as long as we are united, we will be able to defeat the bad guy Ryan!" A childish girl''s voice came from the back seat, "Right, Christine?"


    "Me? It''s none of my business." The short-haired girl was very smart and stayed out of the matter.


    "Huh!" Then came Tyler''s nasal voice, "Christine, you are so disappointing!"


    Ryan and Natalie looked at each other and smiled. With the little guy in the back, it is impossible to be quiet. Since getting in the car, she has interrupted to show her existence from time to time, for fear that the first two people will ignore her.


    Looking at the rearview mirror, the two little guys were still wearing seat belts, Ryan felt relieved, stepped on the accelerator, and increased the speed by a bit.


    "Aren''t you going to pick up Scarlett?" Natalie was a little confused.


    "Well, they just moved." Ryan drove on the road to Laurel Valley in North Hollywood. "How long have you not seen her, Nat?"


    "Since she moved to Los Angeles, we only used the phone and wrote letters." Natalie closed the window and closed her curly hair that was blown away by the wind. "Scarlett has grown up."


    "You have grown up too, Nat!" Ryan sighed with profound emotion.


    The car quickly stopped in front of a villa near Laurel Valley, and Ryan blew the car horn several times. Scarlett Johansson, wearing a green dress and half-length blond hair, ran out of the house.


    "Hey, Scarlett, this way!" Natalie opened the door and jumped down.


    "Nate, it''s been a long time since I saw you." As we spoke, the two girls, one large and one small, hugged tightly.


    Seeing the two girls hugging each other and affectionately, Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head. The relationship between the two of them was so good that it far exceeded his imagination. Even in the previous life. These two people are barely friends. But not so intimate.


    "Ladies, it''s late."


    Seeing that they did not stop, Ryan had to shout.


    "Hi, Ryan." Scarlett walked to the front of the car. I greeted several people one after another, everyone in the car knew each other, "There is also Tyler and Christine."


    "Hello, Scarlett." Christine beckoned her friendly.


    "Humph~" The little head with blond curly hair turned to one side.


    "Hey, Tyler, how are you polite?" Ryan turned her head and the little girl wrinkled her nose. "I don''t want to ignore her."


    "Get in the car first." Natalie opened the door and climbed into the co-pilot first.


    "Why can''t you sit back. Nat?" Tyler was speaking.


    It was just that she had just finished speaking, Scarlett had already been seated in the back seat, probably because of the age difference of several years, she just curled her lips and said nothing.


    "They... can''t fight, right?"


    Ryan glanced at the rearview mirror. When she reached Natalie''s ear, the Long Island girl gave him a pair of white eyes, "Do you think everyone is as boring as you?"


    "Then you pay more attention to the back."


    After the order was over, Ryan started the car, and the car quickly drove into the intercontinental highway leading to Richmond.


    "Where are you taking us?" Natalie looked back at the back of the car and found George''s car crashing not far away. She felt relieved. Obviously, she felt that Mr. Bodyguard was more reliable than the guy next to her. Spectrum.


    "It should be Pixar?" Scarlett leaned on the front seat, guessing.


    "Bingo!" Ryan snapped his fingers. "Don''t you want to see where "Toy Story" was born?"


    "Of course." The two youngest children shouted in unison.


    "Should you have other purposes?" Among these people, the one who knew Ryan best was Natalie.


    "My dear, I''m just taking you to visit Pixar..." Before Ryan finished speaking, Natalie laughed. "By the way, help me, right, Ryan?"


    "But how can we help?" the two little girls questioned.


    "Oh, I heard my mother say that Pixar has just built a new restaurant and playground. It is said that the pastries there taste very good." Ryan could see the green light in Christine''s eyes in the rearview mirror.


    "Come on, Christine, you will become a little fat girl like Scarlett if you eat it again." Taylor showed an instructive expression, but didn''t know that this had offended another girl.


    But any girl who loves beauty will never like others to call herself a chubby girl. Scarlett is no exception, and immediately sneered, "Miss Taylor Swift, where do you see that I am fat? Even if I am a little fat, I am Prettier than a girl who doesn''t even have front teeth!"


    "My teeth will grow out soon."


    "That''s also a pair of rabbit teeth!"


    "You are the one, you will grow short and fat in the future!"


    "You will become a six-foot-tall pole, and an airport!"


    "Can you be quiet for a while?" Natalie had to turn around and persuade.


    It''s a pity that the two girls were obviously angry in the fight, and they kept chatting like two cockfighting. Fortunately, the two of them were still a little measured and didn''t have a hands-on posture.


    "Taylor, Scarlett, don''t quarrel, okay?" Christine persuaded weakly.


    "Shut up, Christine, otherwise you will become a tomboy!"


    Is this a curse? Ryan couldn''t help listening to these seemingly outrageous, but actually a little reliable words.


    "Shut up! Tyler, apologize to Scarlett, and Scarlett don''t say any more!"


    "I... I don''t want it!"


    "Alison, I think you should ride in a car with George." Ryan showed her attitude when teaching her music.


    "I... well, I''m sorry, Scarlett Johansson."


    With a slight sigh, Ryan was rather helpless since he came to Los Angeles. This little guy can be said to have grown up in thousands of favors, and a family far richer than his previous life. Nicole Kidman, who treats her as his own sister, also favors her because of the face of him and Nicole. Add other big shots.


    Is this princess disease?


    Fortunately, as she grows older, she can still hold her face down, but she doesn''t know what will happen when she grows up.


    "Wow, is this Pixar?"


    Just as the car stopped, several little guys looked not far away at the same time, which was the office area that Pixar had just rebuilt.


    After listing and financing. Pixar has sufficient development funds. Not only bought new equipment. I also bought several nearby buildings to rebuild the office area more freely and lively. In addition, a restaurant full of childishness and imagination was added.


    "It''s so beautiful. Is this the lamp? Ryan. Can you put one at home for me?"


    Everyone stood in front of the office area, facing the iconic Pixar lamp, and Taylor obviously took a fancy to it.


    "Okay, dear, when you leave, each of you can bring a smaller one home."


    Ryan didn''t bring them to robbery here. Choosing some children of different ages to watch the latest animated clip was a suggestion from several senior Pixar leaders.


    In the new screening room, people including Ryan. They all sat quietly on their chairs and watched the scenes on the screen intently. Even if there was no soundtrack, even the dubbing of more than a dozen insect characters was temporarily added, but these lively insects. From the moment it appeared on the screen, it attracted the attention of all the little guys.


    "This is an ant..." the youngest Christine couldn''t help but yelled.


    "Shhh!"


    Under Ryan''s raised fingers, she quickly calmed down, staring at the ant fighting the grasshopper without blinking.


    That''s right! Pixar management recruited Ryan and others to watch a clip of the trial-produced "Bug Agent Team".


    After the great success of "Toy Story", many people suggested that the production of the sequel should be started immediately, but John Lasseter had other ideas. He got inspiration from "Aes and the Grasshopper" in "Aesop Prophecy". , Found someone to adapt the current script, and led the team to produce a short clip.


    The clip soon came to an end, and at the moment the picture disappeared on the screen, several little guys¡ªand the children of some Pixar employees¡ªwere yelling.


    "Why not?"


    "I want to keep watching?"


    "Those bugs seem to be ants and grasshoppers, so funny..."


    "Children, this is just a trial segment. If you want to see the movie, you have to wait a few years." Ed Kamel stood up, "Do you think it looks good?"


    "looks great!"


    "Um... as interesting as Toy Story."


    "Uncle Ed, when can I see the full movie."


    Although the sound was a little messy, more than a dozen children were all dissatisfied, and a few were clamoring to play it again.


    "Ryan, what''s your opinion?" Ed Camel and John Lasseter calmed down the children and came to the three oldest people. After all, Pixar is not making a young animation It''s a movie for all ages.


    "It''s funny." Natalie''s opinion on animated films can be ignored.


    "Not as kind as "Toy Story", but these bugs are very cute, not as creepy as in life." Scarlett Johansson nodded and said.


    "What about you, Ryan?"


    "Ed, and John, I want to ask about your specific plans next." Ryan didn''t answer, but instead asked a question.


    "We plan to make "Insect Agents" first, and then start "Toy Story 2" after the more tedious work of character stereotypes is finished." It is Ed Kamel who is speaking.


    "What about the funds?" Ryan asked again.


    "Our budget is sufficient to support the completion of these two plans."


    "Okay." Ryan nodded, "I have no other opinion, but I hope that the next work will still be a boutique like "Toy Story".

 Chapter 219： girlfriend?

    The trial meeting is over, and the rest is naturally time for fun. Taylor and Christine play together with other children, while Scarlett followed Ed Carmel¡¯s assistant to visit the studio. Only Ryan is the only one. People sit in the dining room, looking at the imaginative layout.


    In the restaurant, you can see the images of animated characters and dolls made by Pixar everywhere, and even many seats are covered with various cartoon images. It is more like a children''s playground.


    "Cream ice cream, I should remember your taste correctly." Ryan placed the ice cream tray in front of Natalie, "Want to taste the strawberry flavor?"


    "No, thank you." Natalie picked up the spoon and squeezed her lips, her deft tongue licking her lips from time to time.


    "I don''t know how it tastes." Ryan murmured casually, and put a large mouthful of ice cream drizzled with strawberry jam into his mouth.


    "When are you going back to Mexico?" Natalie asked casually.


    "I''ll take a while." Ryan rolled his eyes. "Nate, can you go to Mexico for a visit in a while?"


    "I''m only fifteen years old without a guardian. Do you think you can go abroad easily?" Natalie seemed a little moved, but then she shook her head, "Dad won''t agree."


    Thinking of Natalie''s father, Ryan can only cover her forehead. Natalie almost fell out with her father in her previous life, which can actually explain some problems.


    "Then... you can always be the heroine of my short film, right?" Ryan stared into her eyes, "Don''t refuse, okay, Nat."


    "Short film, what kind of short film?" Natalie swallowed the cream in her mouth, a little curious.


    "Don''t worry, it''s definitely not from the San Fernando Valley..."


    "Ryan!" Natalie''s brown eyes stared directly at his sky blue eyes, her small nose wrinkled, "Ryan Jenkins, have you eaten too much strawberry jam?"


    "Oh, my God, what did I just say?" Ryan was appropriately confused. Natalie then laughed, "Come on, Ryan, serious, what is going on?"


    "That''s it." Ryan replied with a serious look, "Starting in November, the college¡¯s 507 course...well, it¡¯s the basic producer course. It will require us to make a short film of about five minutes, although there are Teaching assistants. But from the script to the actors to the shooting and editing. We need to do it ourselves."


    "Sounds interesting." Natalie seemed interested. "Are you going to be a director?"


    "No." Ryan shook his head, "I want to play multiple roles as screenwriter, director, and editor. This is for us to learn the entire production process of the film."


    "Okay, okay." Natalie gave a sly smile. "You have to come to New York. And, what about the pay? If there is no figure that can impress me, I won''t agree."


    "Ten dollars, dear Nat?" Ryan deliberately pulled out his wallet.


    "Well, I reluctantly agreed." Natalie mentioned another condition again, "but you have to shoot in New York!"


    "Why not Los Angeles?" Ryan spread his hands on the dining table in confusion.


    "Dad doesn''t allow me to ask for leave at will." I don''t know when, Natalie put her left hand on Ryan''s right hand and tapped his slender finger lightly, "Ryan. We only met twice this year, last year I''ve only seen it once, and I... don''t want to be like this."


    "Sorry, Nat." Ryan shook the hand hard, "I will visit you often in New York in the future."


    "you promise?"


    "I promise!"


    Listen to what Ryan said. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Natalie''s mouth. She was always a winner, didn''t she?


    After lunch, when they left Pixar, the two little guys took advantage of their age and asked for a whole set of related dolls, even the iconic little lamp, each took two.


    "My dear, if you continue to do this, Pixar will go bankrupt." Ryan warned them in the car going back.


    "You are too stingy, Ryan, we should move the biggest one at the door."


    Natalie came to Los Angeles with her assistant. It was a rare occasion to come to the West Coast. Especially Ryan temporarily put down her work and took her to play around, which made her especially happy. Although the two-day vacation was fleeting, she was very quick. I found the reason and notified my parents, planning to stay a few more days.


    Limited to their identities, Ryan simply took Natalie to the campus of USC without even thinking about going to densely populated places.


    "You can also apply to this university in the future, Nat." The two wandered between the khaki buildings. After Ryan introduced the film academy, he began to agitate, "You can take the sat test as soon as possible, as long as you get the result. It''s not too bad. I can find a way to get the college to pass the application so that we can be alumni."


    Although it is somewhat difficult according to the method he said, if there is a large donation, it is still somewhat possible.


    "No, Ryan." Natalie looked at the statue of Van Punk in the distance, and said firmly, "I''ve decided, I''m going to the Ivy League school."


    "Forget it, let''s not talk about it. Let''s take me to your dormitory. I have never been to a university apartment." Natalie suddenly changed the subject.


    "Well then, go here."


    That being the case, Ryan did not insist anymore, and led Natalie to his temporary resting place, to the third floor, opened the door of the room and took a look, and saw that the roommate was neatly dressed and was playing with small photographic equipment. Only then did Natalie walk in.


    "Hi, Ryan, why are you here?"


    "Nate, this is Darren Bousman, my roommate." Ryan did not answer, and started an introduction, "Darren, this is..."


    "Matilda! Oh no, Miss Natalie, it''s nice to meet you."


    "It''s nice to know you too." Natalie shook his hand gently, tugged Ryan''s sleeve, and whispered, "Let''s go to your room."


    "Ah... I suddenly remembered that the guy Chen asked me to help, so I''m leaving first." Darren Bousman patted his head, picked up his jacket and ran out.


    "What a weird person," Natalie muttered.


    "He misunderstood." Ryan shook his head.


    misunderstanding? Is it really a misunderstanding? Natalie is not the little girl she was a few years ago.


    Entering the bedroom, Natalie looked around. The layout is very simple. Except for the desk, single bed and wardrobe, there is no other furniture, but it is very neat and tidy, which is obviously different from the residence of the single man in the legend.


    "I usually rest here at noon, and I rarely come here at other times." Ryan fetched a can of juice and stuffed it to Natalie.


    "Not bad." Natalie walked onto the balcony and said playfully, "I can experience the feeling of college in advance."


    "Hi, beautiful lady, can I invite you to dinner?"


    Suddenly, other male voices floated over from a balcony on the left, and Ryan frowned and walked to Natalie''s side, "Yes, Reese, if you are willing to take up the entire restaurant."


    "Rui...Ryan." The guy waved his hand apologetically, "Is this your girlfriend, God, this is big news! I''m rich! Chen, come here, come and see, Ryan takes His girlfriend is back to the dorm!"


    Damn it! Ryan couldn''t help covering his forehead, these guys with big mouths!


    Nat won''t mind, will you? He squinted at Natalie, and saw the girl with a faint smile on her mouth, as if she was enjoying the good show.


    "Where, where, let me see! Let me see!" There were several heads sticking out from the balcony on the left. It was just a few classmates who got along well with Ryan.


    "Why does she look familiar..."


    "It seems to be shorter and younger, Ryan is too much."


    "Come on, David, you forgot, Ryan is only sixteen years old."


    "But, she is a little too short, and she is not so beautiful. There are several girls in the school cheerleading team who are pursuing Ryan. They are much more beautiful than her."


    "Shut up! Reese!"


    "Hey, Chen, don''t hit me on the head."


    Natalie''s face turned black, the smile at the corner of her mouth disappeared, her brown eyes kept flickering, and a faint cold and arrogant temperament exuded.


    "You guys, shut up! Reese, David, Darren, Chen, I remember you!"


    "It''s not fair, Ryan!" In Chen Jiazheng''s shout, a group of people disappeared without a trace at a faster rate than when they first came.


    "These guys." Ryan murmured and shook his head.


    Although the start of school is not too long, he often comes to rest at noon, and he has become acquainted with them, and sometimes makes small jokes with each other.


    "Don''t mind, Nat, these guys are sometimes too energetic." Ryan simply pulled Natalie back into the room.


    "I didn''t care." Natalie sat on the chair in front of the desk, took a pencil casually, and slowly turned it between her fingers, "Ryan, is there really a girl chasing you? Is it the captain of the cheerleader? ?"


    "Someone stuffed letters and photos in my locker."


    In the first week of school, the photos and letters he received can be packed in sack, "I never went to the places written in the letter. George can testify about this."


    "Come onRyan, it''s your freedom to go or not, don''t tell me." Natalie got up and wanted to go outside, "I want to go back to the hotel, you can send me back. "


    Looking at the girl''s back, Ryan also smiled.


    "Nate, will you accompany me to the premiere tomorrow night?" Ryan asked the girl beside him when the car stopped in front of the hotel.


    "Is it "Scream 2"? Natalie lowered her eyes, as if thinking.


    "We can skip the red carpet and go directly to the theater." Ryan can roughly guess what she is thinking.


    "okay then."


    When Natalie''s back completely disappeared in front of the Four Seasons Hotel, Ryan started the car, and the smile on the corner of his mouth grew thicker.


    Nat! Ryan murmured, the idols of the past life and the friends of the present life gradually merged together.


    Natalie has finally grown up! ()

 Chapter 220： I want 1 person

    The hot summer holiday has just passed, and the Thanksgiving Christmas holiday has not yet arrived. September and October have become relatively off-season movies. Many horror movies often choose this time. "Scream 2" officially landed at the end of September. To North America.


    Ryan and Natalie entered the front hall of the Chinese Theater through the side door ahead of time, sat in a corner, sipping juice, and waiting for the brigade to enter the theater.


    One after another shouts will sometimes spread here. The success of "Scream 1" has made many of these young actors become popular idols, such as Charlize Theron, with their beautiful appearance and unbeatable in the movie. Xiaoqiang''s spirit quickly became popular.


    Although it can only be regarded as a second-tier star, it is far more popular than the gypsophila in the previous life.


    "I don''t like Drew Barrymore."


    Just the two of them here, and Natalie didn''t mean to hide her thoughts.


    "Then try to have less contact with her." Ryan can only say that, after all, he and Drew still have some friendship.


    "Nicole is here." Natalie was sitting where she could see the entrance of the theater.


    Ryan quickly turned around and beckoned, Nicole walked over with another woman.


    "Hi, Kate, it''s been a long time." Ryan greeted Cate Blanchett and introduced her and Natalie.


    "I heard that "Titanic" is about to be closed?"


    "Yeah, there is also Kate over there." Ryan joked. "It seems that the English area has the most women named Kate, right?"


    "There are a lot of people called Ryan." Nicole laughed, and then she looked at Natalie, "Nat, I didn''t expect you to become a big girl."


    "Nicole, you have become more beautiful."


    I don''t know why, the two people I haven''t seen in a few years have lost the intimacy they used to have, and they always speak with a slight estrangement.


    Nicole looked away from Natalie and swept away without a trace. She knew that Ryan had been playing with Natalie in Los Angeles these days, even though she had watched the two men change from strangers. Become a great friend. An extremely uncomfortable feeling flashed through my heart.


    This is a feeling called threat. She knows that Ryan and the **** the other side have a deep relationship, second only to herself. They can be good friends when they are young, but as they get older, only God knows what will change...


    "Nicole, what are you thinking, Kate is asking you something." Ryan pulled Nicole''s arm.


    "Sorry, I''ve been too busy with work lately, and I always get distracted." Nicole smiled apologetically at Blanchett.


    "What about Judy. It''s been a long time since I saw her." Blanchett had to ask again.


    "She went to the Caribbean for vacation." Nicole responded casually. She can''t say that Judy Foster is enjoying the journey of love with gays, right?


    "You guys continue to talk. I''ll say hello to the others." Ryan patted Nicole''s hand and asked Natalie, "Nate, are you together?"


    "No need. Ryan." Natalie shook her head slowly but firmly.


    Ryan did not reluctantly walked in the crowd, greeted, shook hands, and joked with familiar or unfamiliar people. He showed sufficient communicative skills, and when he grows up, he has his own charm that will make everyone Those who greeted him felt that they were valued.


    "Hey, David. I heard that your new film is about to start shooting?"


    Ryan and David Fincher shook hands and said with regret, "It''s a pity that you refused to direct the third episode."


    "Ryan, two films of this type are enough."


    "Where is your new movie?" Ryan asked again.


    "A small production with a budget of only five million dollars." David Fincher was not welcome. "If it''s a big production, I will definitely look for you to invest."


    "No problem." Ryan responded with a smile, "My check is always ready for you."


    "What about me, when will we start working together on the next film, Ryan, you can''t favor one another." Drew Barrymore came up, her Flower Film Company is one of the investors in "Scream 2" One.


    "Forget it, Drew." Ryan quietly distanced herself from her, "I believe you can become a good producer and you will definitely find a good enough project."


    "Thunderbolt Angel" seems to be adapted from a TV series. What is the name of that TV series? Let Garcia go back and check it. It must have something to do with Charlie and the angel. It shouldn''t be difficult to find.


    "Hello, Miss Theron...well, Charlie, you are beautiful again." Seeing the heroine walk over, Ryan said hello first.


    When I saw it last time, Charlize Theron still had the temperament of a girl next door, and now it has revealed the coldness of the previous life.


    "Thank you, Ryan." The corner of Charlize Theron''s mouth turned upside down, with a smile like a spring breeze, "You are also more handsome than when we met last time."


    This woman is five feet ten inches tall. She is almost flush with Ryan on high heels. Her slightly squinted eyes make her glamorous face look a different kind of laziness. Although her blond hair is not natural, she has a dyed color. More vivid.


    Probably the relationship between practicing ballet and being a model, her figure is very slender, and she is so similar to Nicole.


    "I have been tossing around in South Africa and Europe over the years, and then I went to the Joruifu Ballet School in New York. I had to leave the stage because of a knee injury." She seemed to be interested in closing the distance with Ryan, telling her past experiences from time to time. "In desperation, I had to come to Los Angeles. I didn''t expect to encounter the casting of "Scream". Luckily I got the role of Sidney. I should thank you for speaking of it, Ryan."


    "That''s Julius and David''s decision. It has nothing to do with me." Ryan smiled and waved his hand.


    "It''s your script and investment that made me famous overnight." The two said as they walked out of the crowd, "I can be regarded as one of the luckiest people in Hollywood."


    "You can become popular because you have a certain talent." Ryan knows what determination and perseverance this woman has, otherwise, how could she win the title of queen in her previous life.


    "I also discovered many shortcomings of myself. I went to the performing arts school for advanced studies since 1994." Charlize Theron said very seriously, "I can''t make a vase for the rest of my life, right?"


    Obviously, this woman remained awake, not dizzy because of her temporary popularity, which is very rare among Hollywood youth idols.


    "It''s very nice to chat with you, Charlie, time is almost up, let''s do it for the time being." Ryan had noticed that Nicole''s eyes swept over from time to time, and he quickly said goodbye.


    "All right." Charlize Theron hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Ryan, I am going to move recently. After moving, there will be a party. Can I invite you to it?"


    "I''m going to Mexico soon."


    "I''m talking about after you come back." Charlize Theron reacted very quickly.


    "okay then."


    Ryan nodded, stopped staying, and walked towards where Nicole was.


    "Where is Nat?" Ryan found out that Natalie was gone.


    "Go to the bathroom." Nicole glanced at the tall blond woman again. "Is she beautiful?"


    "She? Who?" Ryan''s surprised expression didn''t look like it was pretended. Seeing Nicole''s darkening face, he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Of course...not as pretty as you."


    Nicole''s smile was fleeting, and she clicked on the other side of her chin, "Nate is here, let''s go in."


    There is nothing to say about this movie. If the first one is also ridiculed and ironic, the second one becomes a programmatic killing show. Except for the plot of the first one on the big screen at the beginning of the movie, there is almost nothing. How many features.


    However, genre films are easy to cultivate regular fans, especially horror films in the series, which often rely on a fixed group of movie viewers to ensure income, and beautiful youth idols are also very attractive to teenagers.


    Unexpectedly, the movie also found a supermodel to join, in which Heidi Klum played a tragic death of a college student, the role of the previous life Sarah Michelle Gellar.


    "Very ordinary movies, except for ketchup, there is nothing commendable." In the car back, Natalie wrinkled her nose, obviously not cold to such movies.


    "You can make money." This is an RV, and Nicole is sitting next to Ryan, opposite Natalie. "There is no need to discuss the artistry of this kind of film."


    "But the first one is pretty good." Natalie retorted subconsciously.


    "Shall we not discuss this, Nat?" Ryan looked out the car window. "The hotel is here."


    "I can go up by myself." Natalie pushed the door and said hello to Ryan, "Goodbye, Ryan, and Nicole."


    Back home, Nicole just walked into the bedroom. Ryan followed. There was no scruples between the two. Nicole kicked off her high heels and took off her evening dress. Her face was uncertain and she didn''t seem happy. .


    "Listen to Nat, you let her be the heroine of your short film?" Nicole untied her hair bun behind her head and shook her head slightlyThe straight golden red hair fell like a waterfall , Very attractive.


    "You are so beautiful, Nicole." Ryan just answered the wrong question.


    "There are so many actors in Los Angeles, why do we have to go to New York to find Natalie?" Nicole already had some dissatisfaction and raised her voice slightly, "Ryan!"


    "I just want to shoot something different."


    Unknowingly, Ryan walked to Nicole''s side, and his right hand slipped off her shoulder. Just about to remove the two chest stickers that blocked the scenery, Nicole grabbed his wrist and threw it back.


    "I''m tired and want to rest." Nicole quickly put on her house clothes, "Ryan, it''s time for you to go back to the room."


    "Go back to the room, why?" As he spoke, Nicole had already pushed out the door.


    "Because I want to sleep alone tonight." In the cold words, the door closed suddenly.


    why is that? Ryan scratched his head for a while. He remembered that Nicole''s menstrual period seemed to be still some time away. ()

 Chapter 221： Soldier

    Sending off Natalie, Ryan returned to Rosario¡¯s set. It was probably the news that the film was about to be closed. There were a large number of paparazzi and reporters around, and occasionally some pictures of actors shot with a telephoto lens. Published in the newspaper, the crew also released some news from time to time, maintaining the topic of "Titanic".


    Most of the rest are very fragmented or James Cameron is not satisfied and needs to be retaken.


    Of course, there is still a major part of it-Jack Shen Hai.


    "Jim, you should be thankful that you have dismissed the decision to shoot with ice water." In front of the huge water tank in the temporary studio, Jon Landau was trying the temperature of the water.


    "There is no way, Ryan''s physique is a big problem." Cameron shook his head, the actor''s vain breath can only rely on the late cg production.


    "Yes, if you make him seriously ill because of this, many people across the United States will mail bullets to you." Jon Landau joked.


    There is no financial pressure in this life, and this guy has hardly had any conflicts with James Cameron.


    "I''m not afraid of bullets. I''m even more worried that Nicole Kidman will hit the door." Cameron seemed to be lingering. "Do you know how terrible a woman who loves Ryan more than herself and is hysterical?"


    In the dressing room, Ryan looked at his face like impermanence, then looked at Winslet who made George call, "Kate, should we take a little revenge on Jim? He yelled at us five times. Moon, that was a wild roar of up to three hundred decibels."


    "Do you have any good ideas?" Winslet was obviously interested.


    "We''ve been in the sea for so long..." Ryan whispered a few words in Kate Winslet''s ear, and she kept nodding her head, "It''s a good idea. I''ll go find other actors."


    After speaking, he ran out to contact the accomplice.


    Half an hour later, Ryan''s face was bloodless, and there were ice flowers in his hair. Released the wooden plank he was holding, slowly sank into the sea water, and finally disappeared from the camera.


    "Great!"


    With James Cameron''s voice sounded. The crew broke out with shocking cheers, after five months of hard shooting. The movie is finally closed.


    "Boom~"


    With the sound of champagne opening, the colorful strips fluttered into the air.


    Ryan stood up from the water tank more than three feet deep in the splash of water, and winked at Kate Winslet and the surrounding actors. They quickly jumped out of the water tank and brought in the water that was already prepared. Pots.


    "Hey, give me one!"


    Ryan took the plastic basin from Winslet. Picking up half a basin of water, he jumped out of the water tank and rushed to Cameron''s back very quickly and flexibly.


    "Jim, a gift for you."


    In Cameron''s surprised eyes. With the water pouring down, the tyrant on the set turned into a roar.


    "And I!"


    With Kate Winslet''s shout, the sea was drenched like a torrential rain, Cameron probably saw something, and didn''t mean to dodge at all. Let the actors vent.


    However, Cameron won''t let the instigator go. He quickly pulled Ryan to his side and shouted, "Don''t forget Ryan. He is an investor and producer!"


    More than a dozen basins of seawater fell on Ryan and Cameron. Not only the actors, but other crew members also joined in. The pressure accumulated over the past five months was all vented at this time.


    The filming of "Titanic" is over, the actors can leave, but Ryan and Cameron will continue to stay here. There are a lot of matters to be dealt with in the follow-up, the most typical is what should be done with these props that stand on the set .


    "We can contact relevant companies and sell them directly." Cameron''s words can be understood in another way, that is, selling props including model boats as scrap.


    "Is this a pity?"


    Although the crew handled this in the previous life, Ryan wanted to recoup more money. Investors who don''t pay attention to money are not qualified investors.


    "Why not, let''s contact Rosario''s government or company to see if anyone wants to take over? This can be developed into a tourist area." Jon Landau squeezed his chin and began to calculate.


    "Jim, I remember the land around the set, the crew bought them all, didn''t they?" Ryan asked.


    "Yes, we bought more than a hundred acres of land." Cameron nodded.


    "Well, think of a way to deal with other things, and that model ship will not move for now, maybe someone will take over after the movie is released."


    According to the plan, the movie will be released in the summer file next year, but it will be stored for less than a year. If there is really no one to take over, it can only be treated as a waste product.


    After the filming is over, it enters the most critical post-production. This film will use a large number of cg composite images. Many plots require the combination of actor and model shots. This will be a huge time-consuming and labor-intensive process. engineering.


    Fortunately, some motion capture and cg shots were produced before the filming of the film. Because of this, James Cameron dared to promise Ryan that the film would be released in the summer next year.


    Soon, Ryan returned to Los Angeles with most of the crew, but he didn¡¯t have time to rest. The release of "Cat and Mouse" was about to be released, and he needed to cooperate with the publicity. In addition to the publicity, he had to discuss the "Jura The shooting of "Ki Park 2".


    I don¡¯t know what kind of conditions Universal Pictures used. Spielberg once again moved. He agreed to continue to shoot "Jurassic Park". Jenkins Pictures, together with Universal Pictures and DreamWorks, will open the film for this movie. Out of a shooting budget of up to 80 million US dollars.


    Thanks to the experience of the first shooting, the film will save a lot of time from preparation to shooting, and the current cg technology is far beyond that of the past.


    "I am sure that this movie can catch up with next year''s Christmas file."


    This was in the office of DreamWorks belonging to Spielberg. The old Jewish man appeared extremely confident, and then he changed his style, "After this film is over, I will immediately put into the shooting of the next film."


    "You are crazy, Stephen." Ryan admired him across from him.


    Spielberg''s shooting speed has always been faster. Strictly speaking, he is a typical Hollywood pipeline shooting, and every plot is calculated to the extreme.


    "Ryan, how about we continue to work together?" Spielberg sat behind the desk, his eyes shimmering behind the lens.


    "Cooperation? What is your next movie? Do you have a script?" Ryan asked curiously.


    "Of course!" Spielberg took out the script from the drawer and pushed it to Ryan. "This is the script written by Robert Rodat, adapted from the real experience of a soldier in the 101st Airborne Division E Company during World War II. "


    Ryan¡¯s eyes lit up. He had already guessed which movie¡¯s script this was. He originally had the idea for this movie, but he remembered that the screenwriter of the movie mentioned in the relevant information that he saw a long time ago. With the script, it wasn''t until I met Spielberg that it turned into a movie.


    In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ryan finally gave up this plan.


    After simply flipping through the script, Ryan was sure that he was not mistaken, and said to Spielberg, "Steven, what is your estimated production cost for this movie, Jenkins Pictures...oh, I can bear half of it personally!"


    "Titanic" almost wiped out the book of Jenkins Pictures, Ryan simply proposed a personal investment, after all, this is the annual box office champion of the previous life.


    "At least 70 million US dollars, of course we are happy if you are willing to invest."


    Just like in the previous life, DreamWorks will spread too much, and there will definitely be problems with the capital operation.


    "Well, I will let Pat negotiate with you as soon as possible." Ryan returned the script to Spielberg.


    "Ryan, the cooperation I''m talking about is more than investment." Spielberg put away the script and suddenly laughed, "Can I invite you to play one of the roles?"


    "Captain Miller?" Ryan shook his head, there should be no such possibility, the age difference is too much, "Could it be Urban?"


    "Ryan, this is a group show. The specific actors and roles will be adjusted. If possible, wait for our final notice, can you?" Spielberg smiled like a fox.


    "This?" Ryan squeezed his chin. He is naturally familiar with this movie, and there are many outstanding characters in it.


    "Ryan, our cooperation has always been very pleasant." Spielberg persuaded.


    This is true. Spielberg and Cameron are two completely different directorial styles. Although this is a war film, it will definitely suffer, but it can¡¯t compare to "Titanic" anyway, think about it. These five months of shooting is simply a **** experience. Even if there is no Satan there, there is a tyrant named James Cameron.


    Ryan squeezed his chin. Even though he is confident in his acting skills and prepared for a second hand, after "Titanic" may not be the idol of the past life, but he also needs one. Completely different roles to shape their changing performance styles.


    In that case, with enough public relations, it would be difficult for the old men from the media or the film school to stand up.


    In other words, do you postpone "Jurassic Park 2" and shoot "Saving Private Ryan" first? In that case, the soldier hitting the ship is definitely an epic duel.


    Of course, Ryan was just thinking about it. He invested heavily in "Titanic" and worked so hard to pull so many helpers, but he didn''t want any accidents.


    "Well, Stephen, you won." Ryan finally made a decision, "Let''s let someone negotiate with Jinsli, and how much do you plan to pay me?"


    "Are you short of money, Ryan?" Spielberg naturally understood that Ryan was joking. "Let the people below talk about it."

 Chapter 222： South African Diamonds

    "Isn''t here yet, Charlie?" Keanu Reeves asked, walking towards the back garden.


    "Don''t worry, Keanu." Charlize Theron looked at his watch, "I think it will take a while. Ryan has classes in the afternoon. It will take time to get here from downtown Los Angeles."


    This is a villa in Santa Monica. It is a newly purchased residence by Charlize Theron. Since Ryan returned to Los Angeles from Rosario, she has sent out an invitation to hold this celebration party.


    First, she moved to a new home, and secondly, she starred in a big hit and became a man of the film market in October.


    Thinking of the film¡¯s box office surpassing $70 million in just three weeks, Charlize Theron¡¯s eyes curled up, but when he remembered the film critic¡¯s evaluation of the film and her starring vase, his brows wrinkled.


    Her positioning of herself is not a fleeting youth idol.


    Charlize became a popular idol with a movie, and the subsequent advertising contract followed. She fully realized the feeling of becoming famous overnight, which was unimaginable when she first arrived in Los Angeles, and what happened later made her understand. How lucky I am.


    She has been in the more competitive model and ballet circles. She knows the importance of hard work. She is not proud and confused because of her popularity. After becoming famous, she has a broader vision and sees higher goals without hesitation. Lower your body and enter the performing arts school for further studies in order to achieve breakthroughs in acting skills.


    Since last year, she has frequently participated in various auditions and wanted to get an ideal role. Only then did she fully understand the importance of opportunity to actors.


    Once she was called by a producer to study the script at home late at night. The producer was sitting in pajamas. Originally, she naively thought that the other party wanted to enliven the atmosphere, but finally found out that his intentions were wrong. If it is not smart enough to run fast, God knows what will happen.


    Of course, this role originally belonged to her. Not surprisingly, it fell on others.


    Later, she met Keanu Reeves, who had worked hard in Hollywood for many years. Understand thoroughly that this is the norm in the circle.


    Thinking about the auditions when participating, and thinking about the auditions later, Charlize had to sigh that he was favored by Goddess of Luck.


    The big sale of Xian made her a qualitative leap in terms of reputation and income. At the same time, another issue was more prominently placed in front of her-how to transform.


    Countless idols of youth have fallen before this threshold.


    Charlize Theron is not only a clever man, but also a clever man with ambition, ability and skill. A breakthrough was soon found.


    I was just 21 years old, only less than five years older than him. The relationship between sister and brother has never been a problem in Hollywood, let alone. The charm of the other party is extremely attractive to women.


    Six feet tall, cold face, outstanding talent, blank love history, identity as a billionaire. With the ability to easily praise celebrities, can Hollywood find a man who is more attractive to women than him?


    Of course, Charlize knows that the other person is definitely one of the smartest people in the United States. How can it be possible to get his affection without giving his true feelings?


    If you can catch him as a boyfriend. That is definitely something that will wake up when you dream.


    In fact, she has seen many Hollywood women who tried every means to find his personal contact information. For example, the cameo Heidi Klum asked Drew Barrymore after the premiere. But it was rejected by the other party.


    She was able to get his contact information. First, she knew him early enough, and second, she was in the same brokerage company.


    Just as Charlize Theron''s thoughts turned sharply, a black Land Rover stopped on the side of the road. Ryan jumped out of the car, made a random gesture to George, and walked towards the villa.


    Before entering the door, he saw Charlize Theron waiting near the door. The South African diamond was wearing dark blue body shaping pants, an open-neck checkered shirt, and her blond hair was arbitrarily tied behind her head. At this time, she hadn''t completely transformed. Faintly with the temperament of a girl next door.


    "Hi, Ryan." She greeted her.


    "Sorry, I am a little late." Ryan handed over the red wine he was carrying. "A little gift."


    "you are too polite."


    Charlize Theron took it, and took Ryan to the courtyard. Some strange music came over.


    "Is this the band you invited?" Ryan rarely hears this style of rock.


    "It''s Keanu''s band."


    "Keanu? Keanu? Reeves?" Ryan immediately thought of the movie star, who is known for his failure to do business. "He is here too?"


    "Hmm~"


    While they were talking, the two had already walked into the back garden. Charlize Theron introduced Ryan. There were not many guests. In addition to her agent, there were a few unknown actors. In addition, it was Keanu? Reeves''s Sirius Band.


    "Hi, Keanu, it''s been a long time since I saw you, your level has not improved." Ryan and him are also familiar.


    "Hello, Ryan, of course we can''t compare with you." Keanu Reeves walked over with two of his companions. "This is Bright, the guitarist and vocalist, and this is Robbie, the drummer."


    "Would you like to sing a song?" Keanu Reeves pointed to the temporary small stage after Ryan had finished greeting with the other two.


    "Forget it." Ryan shook his hand.


    "Everyone is free, you are welcome."


    Seeing that the scene was a little cautious, Charlize Theron hurriedly greeted the others.


    "What do you want to eat, Ryan?" She walked back quickly and pointed to the food on the long table. "There are samosas and Cape Town-style seafood I made by myself."


    "I can do it myself."


    When he came to the dining table, Ryan chose a few at random and put them on his plate. Just when he found a small table to sit down, Charlize put a glass of strawberry juice in front of him.


    "Thank you, Charlie, you are so careful." Ryan squinted his eyes slightly, and then he shouted to Reeves, who played with bass on stage, "Hey, Keanu, but come for a drink?"


    "Come on, Ryan, don''t forget, you don''t drink." Reeves waved his hand.


    "You don''t need to greet your friends. Charlie?" Ryan looked at Charlize who was sitting across from him. "We''re welcome."


    "It doesn''t matter, they would just have Ron greet them." Ron is her agent. Is also a member of Pai Jinsli''s team.


    "It''s really good." Ryan sipped a few South African-style meals. "Charlie. It''s really surprising that your craftsmanship is so good...well, it''s comparable to Nicole."


    "If I did a lot before, I naturally practiced it." The melancholy on Charlize''s face flashed past.


    Ryan didn''t mention this anymore, although she didn''t know her very well, she also knew that her childhood was dark.


    The two changed the subject tacitly and talked about interesting things in life. Naturally, it turned to the film side, especially the series.


    "I remember you signed a three-part contract, right?" Ryan prodded the food on the plate with a fork.


    "Yes." Charlize shrugged gracefully, "I will star in another one in the future. As for when, it depends on your boss''s decision."


    "You should consider transitioning." Ryan kindly reminded, "Youth campus movies are easy to be popular, but they will limit the play. You''d better try more different roles. Especially mature ones."


    "Ron is also looking for a role like this for me." Charlize just showed a hint of helplessness, "Think of what those film critics have said about me, a beautiful and delicate vase."


    "Why care about what they say." Ryan drank the strawberry juice, and Charlize asked immediately, "Is it still needed?"


    "No need." Ryan waved his hand. Continuing the topic just now, "Nicole''s acting skills have long been recognized, and those people have not always criticized her for being too beautiful. In their eyes, they can''t wait for every female character in the movie to become ugly."


    Charlize laughed. She stared at Ryan''s face for a while, and then suddenly said, "Ryan, the trailer I''ve seen. After the movie is released, they won''t criticize you like that?"


    "Actually, some people can''t wait to say that it''s my face show." Ryan showed a disdainful expression and waved his hand in front of him like a fly. "Who cares about them, a group of mosquitoes around the film industry sucking blood? That''s it."


    "I think your acting is very good. Judging from the trailer, it is not weaker than Tom Hanks."


    "Because I am handsomer than Tommy, they can''t bear it." Ryan finished, and the two laughed at the same time.


    "Did you know, Charlie, this is a kind of discrimination. Public opinion discriminates against handsome men and beautiful women. In their opinion, beautiful and handsome actors do not need or have outstanding acting skills. I should call Hollywood handsome men and women? , Launched a counterattack against them." He was purely joking.


    "You are so funny." Charlize looked very happy.


    "I''m just telling the truth." Ryan''s words did reflect the film academy''s attitude towards actors to a certain extent.


    "What are you talking about, so happy." Keanu Reeves sat beside Charlize with his plate.


    "Movies and characters."


    Charlize got up and brought a glass of strawberry juice and a glass of red wine A very careful woman, this is Ryan''s sense of her, and she is different from Nicole, after she converges her glamour, it will make people Like a spring breeze.


    Speaking of movies and roles, Ryan remembered another thing. This handsome guy¡¯s representative work was long made by him. Although it was only a short novel, it steadily occupied the originality.


    "Keanu, are you interested in cooperating?"


    Hearing Ryan''s words, Keanu Reeves was a little surprised, "Cooperation? Of course, as long as you need it!"


    What does Ryan Jenkins¡¯ invitation mean? Now who in Hollywood doesn¡¯t know, it¡¯s a fool not to accept it.


    "Well, I will leave the schedule for the end of next year and the beginning of 1998."


    Ryan looked at Charlize Theron again, he was not sure whether Nicole would take that role, the person in front of him was a very suitable substitute, as for the previous life he had never considered.


    Do you want to pull South African diamonds from the dead end of youth idols? ()

 Chapter 223： Do not touch me

    ps: Four more today! There are no recommendations from next week. . . . Ask for monthly pass, ask for subscription, ask for recommendation, ask for collection!


    Looking across the face of the South African diamond, Ryan guessed that she was in her early twenties at most. Although she did not enter the golden age of women, she was as beautiful as a flower. For actresses at this stage, she wanted to seek For breakthroughs, playing a more mature role is undoubtedly the best choice.


    To put it simply, it is to adjust the appearance through makeup and other means, and to match the change of temperament, to find the change in the image.


    In his previous life, Charlize Theron almost achieved the extreme on this point.


    Of course, Ryan is not so boring. He has to make a beauty comparable to Nicole in the movie to look like a man and a ghost.


    In fact, with Charlize Theron''s age, it is entirely possible to slowly transform and gradually fade the coat of youth idols.


    "Let''s do it, Charlie." Ryan interrupted Charlize Theron who was chatting with Keanu Reeves, "Jurassic Park 2 is selecting actresses. Ron should have Katherine Kennedy''s. Contact information, you can contact her to participate in the audition for the heroine."


    "Female...heroine?" Although the heroine who played a supporting role for a group of dinosaurs, this is "Jurassic Park"!


    "Let¡¯s talk about it first. This is just an audition. The power of choice lies in the hands of Kate and Stephen. If you can¡¯t impress them, I can¡¯t help it." Ryan added, "The character is a natural science of about 30 years old. Home."


    "Thank you, thank you, Ryan."


    For Charlize Theron, this was a complete surprise.


    "We are ready to release the album, although it is at our own expense. But the meaning is completely different. We are going to cover a few Carpenter songs, and then we also original several songs, but the style is a bit different."


    The topic of the three people turned to Keanu Reeves and his Sirius band. This guy threw most of the pay of "Life and Death" on the trio band.


    "Oh, when the album is released, I will definitely support... well, every friend must give one at least." Ryan said with a smile.


    "Keanu, if you need help, you can speak up." Charlize Theron followed.


    "Of course." Reeves nodded. Then he said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be too many sales. Our style is a bit more unique.¡±


    Ryan knows very well that rock and music have always been Keanu Reeves''s dreams, and he has also invested huge amounts of money and energy in this area. It''s a pity that this kind of musical talent can''t be made up for by the hard work of the day after tomorrow. Even in his last year in his previous life, the Sirius Band is still unknown.


    Besides, what they do is rock with a strong personal style, this kind of music may be welcomed by some people, but it is impossible to become the mainstream of business.


    There is not enough commercial value. Which company is willing to spend a lot of effort on packaging promotion?


    The three people chatted fairly well, especially Charlize Theron, her carefulness and a touch of neighboring temperament easily made people feel good.


    "Sorry, I took the call."


    Ryan made an apologetic gesture to the two and walked to the depths of the back garden before pressing the answer button.


    "Hi, Nicole..." He just uttered his greeting, and Nicole''s voice was already heard over there, "Ryan. What are you doing? Why haven''t you come home?"


    "Go to a party."


    "Party? Is it a school party? The Brotherhood agreed to join you?"


    "No, it''s in Santa Monica."


    "Well, it''s late, go home early."


    "Well, I''ll say goodbye to the master immediately."


    hang up the phone. Ryan walked back and immediately bid farewell to Charlize Theron.


    "Going back so early?" Charlize Theron was a little strange, it was just ten o''clock, "There are other shows next."


    "I have classes tomorrow morning, it can''t be too late." Ryan made an excuse and walked out of the villa with the two of them, "Thank you for your hospitality, Charlie, your South African cuisine is very unique. ."


    "Really? It''s to your appetite." Charlize''s eyes flashed and suggested, "There is a restaurant in Malibu that sells Africa. If we have time, we can go there to taste authentic South African cuisine."


    "Well, okay." Ryan said casually and opened the car door. "Goodbye, Charlie, and Keanu."


    Watching the Land Rover go away and finally disappear from sight, Charlize Theron strengthened his determination. That tall man has the capital to attract any woman. Besides, she really has a great affection for him.


    Sitting in the co-pilot, Ryan heard what George said, and after scratching his head, he asked, "What do you think, George."


    "I''m not interested. This job is good now." George shook his head. "Lisa won''t agree to go to North Carolina."


    Lisa is Ryan''s young housekeeper and George''s love partner. She has reached the stage of talking about marriage.


    "Well, do you contact them to see if they agree to accept our investment?" Ryan thought for a while and then said, "You don''t need to take up too many shares, as long as you can speak up."


    "That''s just a small security company with six people, and it''s still in preparation." George rarely asked questions, "Ryan, is it necessary?"


    "It''s done as I said, George, that doesn''t cost much, just as I sponsor your friends." Ryan shook his head and smiled.


    He is not interested in mixing anything in it, just wants to add some safety guarantees for himself and the people around him.


    It¡¯s very simple to say. Several of George¡¯s former military friends accepted an invitation from a former SEAL officer and went to North Carolina to prepare a security company together. They thought of George, a good player, and wanted to invite him. Join.


    George casually mentioned to Ryan, the coal-black swamp and six thousand acres of land in it immediately caught Ryan''s attention. Besides, even if it was mistaken, it was just a little money.


    Ryan''s attention quickly shifted away from these things. Since "The Matrix" was mentioned to Keanu Reeves, he should write the script as soon as possible. He intends to use these trilogy. Make an important transaction.


    There are also those short stories published in "Vanity Fair" in previous years. Many of them are the ideas of famous movies, such as "The Perfection", etc. The outline and settings of the script must be sorted out before they can be handed over to Jenkins Pictures. Review editor department.


    The script of "Men in Black", after more than four months of hard work by more than a dozen screenwriters, was beaten back by Ryan to revise it dozens of times, and finally passed his review. It has been handed over to Julius? Stewart, in accordance with Ryan''s proposal, is contacting Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith.


    The latter is okay. After all, there has been a cooperation with "** Day". The difference is only the amount of pay. The former seems not to be interested. Ryan has ordered that if you don''t agree to change, it will be fine.


    There is never a shortage of actors waiting for opportunities in Hollywood.


    Back home, Ryan opened the door and entered his room, and found that Nicole was wearing a nightdress, sitting on the bedside staring at him, and couldn''t help laughing.


    "I haven''t seen you in just one day, don''t you know me, dear?" he said playfully.


    "Come here." Nicole hooked her finger.


    So anxious? Ryan smiled brighter, and he never refused to Nicole''s request. He strode over, sat on the side of the bed, and kissed her red lips.


    "Hmm~hmm~"


    The hard book was blocking his mouth, but Nicole raised the book in his hand.


    "What''s wrong, Nicole?" Ryan wiped his mouth, only feeling the smell of ink.


    Nicole threw the book in her hand aside, and suddenly leaned over, sniffing around his neck with a straight nose, like a beautiful puppy.


    "What happened?" Ryan was surprised, and then he understood, "Come on, Nicole, I just went to a party."


    "Be honest." Nicole sat back and asked with raised eyebrows, "Charlize Theron''s party?"


    "Hmm~"


    Ryan replied, took off his jacket, kicked off his shoes, half lying on the bed, and took Nicole into his arms.


    "You have to pay more attention, Ryan." Nicole adjusted her posture and found the most comfortable position, and said leisurely. Same, you have grown up..."


    Having been in this circle for so long, Nicole knows what most of the women are like. A man who is talented, capable, and capable of admiring celebrities has a fatal attraction to them.


    "Nicole, you think too much." Ryan kissed her white and smooth forehead hard, "I''m not that kind of casual person."


    As he said, his lips crossed his white forehead, and the tall bridge of his nose finally landed on Nicole''s lips.


    "Hmm~"


    As soon as his tongue came in, UU reading was bitten severely. Ryan couldn''t help but his eyes widened, "Nicole! Are you planning to be a puppy?"


    "Go brush your teeth and take a bath, it''s all curry and seafood flavor." Nicole pursed her lips and frowned, "Go take a shower, otherwise don''t touch me tonight."


    The time has entered November, and the release of "Cat and Mouse Game" is about to be released. The publicity is fully exerted. The huge posters of Ryan and Tom Hanks have begun to appear in the prominent advertising columns of major cities. In addition to the regular newspapers, TV and trailers, the crew has also stepped up investment in online publicity.


    As one of the giants of the Internet, Yahoo has played a big role in it. Ryan''s initial investment not only exchanged a huge return on assets, but also found a powerful Internet thug for himself.


    After two months of study, the coursework of the basic producers finally arrived. Ryan and the others need to hand in a short video of about five minutes before the end of November. If they are not qualified, the grades of this course Absolutely worrying.


    Originally, according to the plan he negotiated with Natalie, he was going to New York to shoot, but now he had to break the appointment because Nicole was sick. ()

 Chapter 224： Terrible possessiveness

    "Ryan Jenkins, you promised me."


    Natalie''s voice is low, and the unhappy Ryan can be felt in the receiver, "I''m sorry, Nat, Nicole is sick, I can''t leave Los Angeles at this time."


    "Ryan..."


    "Nate..."


    "That''s it for now, I''m going to audition for the stage play, goodbye, Ryan."


    Listening to the beep on the phone, Ryan could only sigh helplessly, and Nicole behind him suddenly spoke, her nasal voice seemed a little heavy.


    "It''s Nat? Is she angry?"


    "No, just a little unhappy."


    When he pulled the phone off, Ryan walked to the sofa and touched Nicole''s forehead. It was cold, no different from the past, and she couldn''t help frowning.


    "Does it still hurt, do you want to go to the hospital?"


    "Much better." Nicole rubbed her tall nose. "It''s just that the head hurts a bit."


    headache? From the day before yesterday, Nicole said that she had a headache. The family doctor came to see it and thought it should be due to excessive fatigue, which caused some colds, and there was no major problem.


    Ryan had to let Nicole put aside her work, canceled her trip to New York at the same time, and took a few days off from school, so she stayed at home with peace of mind.


    "Shall we go upstairs?" Nicole stood up. Upstairs was their private space.


    "Do you want me to hug you?" Ryan made a princess hug pose.


    "I am not a critically ill patient!"


    Nicole glared at him and walked up to the second floor.


    The melodious piano sound poured out like running water. Nicole looked at the tall man sitting in front of the piano in a daze. She felt a little guilty, but she immediately threw it aside. Some things she didn''t want to think about, but had to guard against.


    She is not an unexperienced little girl, knowing that sometimes friendship and love are only separated by a thin line.


    Just like between her and Ryan, only God knows why the deep feeling between the two turns into love.


    After closing the piano, Ryan took the notebook and sketches. Nestled in the same sofa with Nicole, the two bodies were close to each other, and it seemed that they would never be separated, and there was no power in this world that could separate them.


    "New script?"


    Half of Nicole''s body was leaning on Ryan''s back, his pointed chin pressed against his shoulders, and his white face was gently rubbed against the firm cheeks, hands stretched under his ribs, and looked at the pile. Split shots.


    Like a naughty little girl, Nicole sometimes turns her head and sighs gently into Ryan''s ear holes. Occasionally, he would lightly bite on his neck. Whenever the flexible tongue licked his skin. It can always cause a shudder of the two.


    "Don''t make trouble."


    Ryan squeezed Nicole''s nose with his backhand, then crackled on the keyboard, and lines of letters appeared quickly in the document.


    "Is this the story you told about the computer network?" Nicole said quietly after watching it for a while.


    "Yes." Ryan flipped in her hands. I found one of the drawings, "This is the heroine, are you interested, dear?"


    This is a black-haired woman wearing a black tight-fitting leather jacket and black sunglasses. Nicole can roughly tell that this should be based on her own model. The whole picture only gives her a feeling, that is, it is cool!


    "I''m going to look for Keanu Reeves to play the leading role." Ryan tilted her head and stamped under her cheek. Continued, "This is a trilogy and I plan to shoot it all at once."


    "When will the shooting start?" Nicole asked.


    "The preliminary plan is for the end of next year or early 1998. The specific time will be after I talked with Harvey." Ryan explained patiently.


    "What are you going to use it for?" Strictly speaking, Nicole didn''t like that fat man very much. On the one hand, he is too ridiculous, on the other hand, he always introduces some messy girls to Ryan.


    I called last month and invited Ryan to a swimsuit party. If I hadn¡¯t heard...


    Thinking of this, Nicole habitually wanted to stare at Ryan, but the distance between the two of them was so close, their gazes directly penetrated into the depths of the pair of sky-blue eyes, and saw her own figure.


    "Boom~"


    She pushed his forehead with her forehead, and despite the pain, she was extremely happy.


    "Go change you for the best actress, change a few nominations for me, for Na..."


    Before the last name was spoken, Nicole blocked his mouth with her own mouth, and her two tongues quickly became entangled in one place.


    After a long time, Ryan and Nicole separated out of breath, their cheeks flushed, and each took a deep breath, which suppressed the restless hormones in their bodies.


    "Honey, if you keep being naughty, I won''t be able to work." Ryan pointed to Nicole''s hand that was slipping downward.


    After the slipped hand stopped, Nicole hugged Ryan and returned to the original topic, "Do you want me to play this role?"


    "Trinity?"


    "Hmm~"


    This series can be regarded as one of the most classic trilogy. It is a great display of cyberpunk culture. As for whether it contains philosophical questions, Ryan never thinks about it. In his eyes, this is a very It''s very interesting, it''s just a scumbag movie.


    Art and philosophy are not at all what he wants to achieve when he enters this industry.


    He will not consider films and art that can not bring benefits at all. If they can bring enough benefits, he will also pay attention to art films that are full of literary and artistic style.


    "Nicole, don''t you think it''s cool to wear a black leather coat and fly over the wall and hit a group of men on the ground?" Ryan paused and kissed her ear beads. "I think you must be very **** like this. very beautiful."


    "Do you really want to see it?" Nicole blinked mischievously. "Would you like me to order one now and wear it for you at home."


    "This is simply the best idea in the world." Ryan''s eyes were shining brightly, wishing Nicole to go right away.


    Could there be a better idea than this, the slender and tall Nicole Kidman, wearing a tight leather jacket, making difficult moves such as a horse, just think about Ryan and feel excited.


    "However, I also have the conditions." A sly smile hung on the corner of Nicole''s mouth. "I remember when you drew a sketch for Kate Winslet..."


    "Stop, Nicole!" Ryan interrupted her quickly, "I won''t be a mannequin for you, Nicole, don''t even think about it."


    "It''s a pity, I planned to go order this afternoon, it seems to be postponed." Nicole suddenly remembered another thing and asked, "This is an action scene, isn''t it?"


    She is really hindsight! Ryan has the urge to cover his forehead, and he understands it. Nicole''s words just now are clearly making fun of herself, and she can''t take it seriously.


    "Yes." He nodded, "Chinese Kungfu is used in the movie, and Kungfu is used to express the conflict of procedures. I plan to go to Hong Kong to invite a few Kungfu directors to serve as assistant directors. Before the filming starts, I should... Need special training."


    "I think based on your dancing skills, these are not too difficult." Ryan added.


    "Then... well, I will notify Pat and ask her to set aside the schedule."


    In Ryan''s plan, in addition to the release of the big ship next year, it is also an extremely important year for Nicole. He has found the work that made her hit the highest peak. The lawsuit involving hundreds of millions of dollars has just ended. He notified Garcia I went to investigate, as long as I confirmed it, I would immediately invest money and energy to adapt real people and real things into adult biographical movies.


    Presumably, such a dirty-mouthed, somewhat crazy, and typical American-spirited role will make Nicole highly praised. With the necessary publicity and public relations, there is great hope for getting the best actress.


    Besides, he published "Perfectly" as a novel on "Vanity Fair" a long time ago, and rejected James Brooks'' request to buy the right to adapt the film.


    Even if it fails this time, she can continue to increase her qualifications for Nicole. She must have acting skills, qualifications and qualifications, and a box office. Sooner or later, the film academy will give her the golden figure.


    "Ryan, I remember that your short film must be completed this month, right?" Nicole remembered what she had disturbed.


    "Yes, if you fail to complete or fail, the credits for this course will be a big problem."


    "Then... Shall I be the heroine of your short film?"


    Hearing Nicole''s words, Ryan''s eyes left the notebook and looked her up and down before saying, "Nicole, that''s just a five-minute short film assignment. I can''t pay you for it."


    "It''s always free."


    "That''s what you want to get this role?"


    "Of course!" Nicole did not back down, "This is the first time you have made a short film."


    Then, she raised her eyebrows, "No matter which aspect of your first time, it must be mine!"


    "It''s terribly possessive..." Ryan murmured.


    "I said, Ryan, you are mine! From the moment I picked you up, it was doomed!" Nicole said firmly.


    "OkayOkay, I am yours."


    Naturally, Ryan would not care about a woman who was sick. Besides, what he said in his mouth was completely different from what he said in reality.


    This kind of lover''s words have never been taken seriously. Nicole also has "Small Island Cry" that needs to be produced. Where can there be time to accompany a few students to shoot short films, she just wants to use this method to anger herself in Ryan A sense of presence, let him never forget that you are no longer a bachelor.


    "There is no need to worry about "Small Island". We can order it before the new year, as long as we get the qualifications for admission." After Nicole recovered, Ryan still persuaded her to rest for a while, "the director The husband has done a good job, and he can completely hand over the remaining work to him."


    Ryan has seen the incomplete samples, and the overall feeling is pretty good. Although the plot is a little worse than the previous life, the theme is more profound, and the only purpose of this movie is to highlight the heroine Nicole.


    Before Thanksgiving, in addition to coordinating with the promotion of "Cat and Mouse Game", Ryan cooperated with several other students and asked a teaching assistant to help him and started shooting their first short film assignment. ()

 Chapter 225： Star wars

    Shooting a short film is not to ask one person to do it, but to let the students understand every detail in the production and the importance of teamwork. Professor Gretel''s requirement is that the students automatically form a team, and then have several teaching assistants. Act as a temporary mentor to familiarize students with Hollywood-style production as soon as possible.


    Ryan, Darren, Reese, David, and Chen formed a temporary team and quickly recruited several extras. When shooting their short films, they took turns in different positions, from screenwriter to director, from lighting to editing. Wait, experience them one by one.


    All equipment academies are provided, and when Ryan and the others complete the final editing, the time has come to the end of November.


    "You should make up for our loss, Ryan."


    After handing in the short film, several people gathered in the living room of Ryan''s apartment dormitory, and David Moore was launching a condemnation.


    "That''s right! You said you are going to New York, we even booked the air tickets!" Reese Clement took the conversation, "It''s OK to ask your girlfriend to be our heroine, and it turns out..."


    "Nate is not my girlfriend." Ryan glanced at him obliquely, and raised Erlang''s legs. "Don''t forget that I paid for the ticket in advance. You haven''t lost anything!"


    "But you hurt our hearts." Darren Bousman muttered.


    "Really, Darren, don''t ask me to make you special ketchup next time."


    This guy was shooting a horror short film, and the ketchup used in it was obtained by Ryan from the company.


    "Okay, okay." Darren Bousman raised his hand and changed the subject. "The 508 course will start next year. I need to shoot an experimental film by then. I really want to make a horror feature film."


    "Then you can sprinkle more tomato sauce?" Chen Jiazheng was flipping through the latest "Vanity Fair", then raised his head.


    "Come on, Chen, the psychological horror theory you mentioned is not suitable for the North American market at all." Darren waved his hand casually.


    Chen Jiazheng shrugged. Without saying anything, he has been in school for more than two months. Although many people look at him with tinted glasses, they get along very happily in this small team. These people have helped him a lot.


    "You guys." Ryan shook his head casually, found his backpack, took out a stack of movie tickets from it, and distributed it to several people. "These are the premier movie tickets you want. Each person only has two tickets. . If someone doesn¡¯t join in by then..."


    Ryan showed them a big fist.


    "Can we walk the red carpet?" The least reliable Reese made a whimsical suggestion.


    "Even if I am going to walk on the red carpet. I have to wait until the day when the movie I directed is released." Darren Bousman put away the movie tickets. I snatched "Vanity Fair" from Chen Jiazheng, "I will be the cover character of "Vanity Fair" at that time!"


    "It''s not dark yet!" Chen Jiazheng snatched the magazine back and turned to Ryan''s column. "Ryan. Are you writing the story of the Roman Empire in this issue?"


    "Oh, what story?" David Moore leaned over curiously.


    In the past few years, many of Ryan''s stories have turned into excellent movies, which will naturally attract the attention of these future film professionals.


    "A story about a gladiator." Darren has already read it. "It tells revenge, family, persistence, and responsibility. The typical Ryan style is always closely tied to mainstream values."


    "So Ryan''s work has always been very popular." David Moore is best at thinking among the four. "Don''t forget, Ryan has never seen Roger Albert. The film critic has always admired him. Plus, this explains the problem."


    "Okay, guys, don''t watch it. This story will be made into a movie in a few years. Then I will invite you to watch it live." Ryan checked the time and reminded, "We have to hurry up. If you don¡¯t, you can only sit at the back."


    "Oh, George Lucas is rare to come to the academy." David Moore has stood up, "We can''t miss it."


    In the afternoon, George Lucas will come to the film school to have an exchange with students on the topic of producer and director.


    Frankly speaking, Lucas''s directorial level is only the bottom of the four major directors in the 1980s. The Star Wars series has been eaten for a lifetime, and the level of storytelling is not very good, but he is an extremely good producer. People, especially for film technology, he and James Cameron are always at the forefront.


    Moreover, some of his predictive theories about the film industry are often realized, and his vision is really good.


    "I''m not a computer expert, I''m just a person who tells stories attentively. Technology is only an indispensable part of telling stories. Anyone engaged in art will encounter technical limitations."


    Although he has always been at the forefront of film technology, George Lucas¡¯s opening remarks expounded the importance of story to film, even if he is not a good storyteller.


    Compared with a purely theoretical single-person speech, Lucas pays more attention to communication with students. He only talked for ten minutes, and then gave the rest of the time to the students to ask questions.


    Although Lucas''s theory is not new to Ryan, he listens very carefully. Learning and absorbing the advantages of others for his own use is one of his strengths.


    As he has always said, talent is very important, and hard work cannot be ignored.


    An hour later, Lucas finished the course and walked out of the auditorium. Ryan called on Darren and said that he had other things to do, and walked to the office area of ??the Film Academy.


    A few veteran professors were given tickets for the premiere movie, and a sincere invitation was issued. It was not until they agreed that Ryan walked out with a smile.


    These veteran professors are not just as simple as professors. They are all members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, several of them are even one of the core members, and the students they bring out are all over Hollywood and the entertainment industry.


    Networks and connections are often woven bit by bit.


    A wide-ranging hidden alliance will not do any harm to his future career. Now that the break with Disney is inevitable, Ryan will naturally want to draw up more alliances to put Michael Eisner''s possible counterattack.


    Of course, he and Disney still have common interests, and it is the wisest choice for both sides to maintain the current relationship.


    "Hello, Professor Great." Entering the mentor''s office, Ryan had just finished saying hello, and found another person, "Hi, George, you are here too."


    "Ryan." Lucas beckoned casually, both of them were old friends.


    "Sit down, Ryan."


    After Ryan sat down, he quickly stated his intentions, and Mentor Great did not hesitate to respond.


    "Ryan, why didn''t you invite me?" Ryan just walked out of the office and found George Lucas following from behind, so he had to say, "Come on, George, this is Stephen''s movie, don''t you participate in the premiere? Projection?"


    The two laughed and walked outside the academy as they talked. Ryan thought of what he had heard and asked, "It is said that the "Star Wars" series will be re-screened next year? So, are you going to officially start the prequel?"


    "Yes it is."


    George Lucas nodded, "Actually, I have completed the script for the prequel trilogy, and I will start it up by the end of next year at the latest."


    "Is it Anakin? The Skywalker story?" Ryan asked tentatively.


    "Yes, it''s the story about Luke''s parents, Anakin Skywalker and Padm¨¦ Amidala." Lucas suddenly changed the subject, "Ryan, you are a recognized master of storytelling. , How about editing the script for me?"


    Obviously, George Lucas has a clear understanding of his strengths and weaknesses.


    "Come on, George, this is Star Wars, this is a work that belongs only to George Lucas."


    The Star Wars series has become a kind of culture in the United States, and the story logic is all clouds.


    "Okay." The old man suddenly laughed weirdly. "Ryan, I heard that you agreed to a role for Stephen again. How about playing a role in Star Wars?"


    "Can you know the general plot?" Ryan asked.


    "Let''s go to the coffee shop and talk."


    The two simply turned a corner and walked into the outdoor cafe of the Film Academy.


    Asked for two cups of coffee, the two sat facing each other under the umbrella. George Lucas tried to use simple language to tell the general plot. In general, the main line of the story is the movie that Ryan has seen in the past life. It makes no difference.


    "Obi-Wan? Kenobi, the master of Luke and Anakin, how about this role? In the first prequel, he was still a hairy boy."


    Hearing what George Lucas said, Ryan laughed, "George, I am more interested in another character."


    "Ki Gang? Jin?" Lucas asked suspiciously.


    "No, no, no." Ryan shook his finger. "Anakin as an adult, Anakin? Skywalker."


    This can be regarded as a dream in a previous life Especially at the end of "Attack of the Clones", which once made him envious.


    "Damn it, it will only appear in the second part, and it will be in the new century." Lucas sighed and asked seriously, "Ryan, are you sure? Don''t kid me!"


    "Of course, George, have I joked with anyone in the movie?" Ryan shrugged and spread his hands, looking very sincere.


    After Lucas nodded slowly, Ryan asked again, "George, does Padm¨¦ Amidala have suitable actors?"


    "I''m looking for it. I need actresses between 15 and 18 years old. You should know that in this age group, actresses with the right looks and good acting skills are not very easy to find." Lucas is not. What anxious, after all, there is still some time before the movie starts.


    "Can I recommend one?"


    "Of course, everyone knows your vision in this regard."


    "How about Nat?" Seeing the old man a little confused, Ryan explained, "My good friend, Natalie Portman." ()

 Chapter 226： The most special one

    On the night before the Thanksgiving holiday, the premiere of "Cat and Mouse Game" arrived on time. The theater was selected in the Chandler Hall of the Los Angeles Concert Hall. After noon, a large number of people between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five. The young men and women began to gather around, waiting to witness the first red carpet after the idol grew up.


    "Nicole, are you sure you won''t walk with me?"


    In the lobby of the villa, Ryan changed into a fitted dress and walked downstairs, only to see three women in the living room chatting about something.


    "Judy, Kate, you are here." Ryan greeted the other two.


    "My dear, we are leaving." Nicole beckoned to Ryan, picked up the handbag and walked out of the villa with Judy Foster and Cate Blanchett.


    "Well, George, there are two of us left." Ryan shrugged to Mr. Bodyguard.


    "We should set off too, Ryan." George reminded him after checking the time.


    When the black Bentley drove into the end of the red carpet, Ryan happened to see the three of Nicole walking into the Chandler Hall, shook his head, straightened the dark bow tie, got out of the car, and stepped on the long-lost Red carpet.


    The light from the flashlight was as dazzling as an aurora, and the cheers from around the red carpet were surging like ocean waves, even if this was the first time in more than two years, as long as he stood on this carpet, he would be the audience. The center is the focus of attention.


    As Time Magazine summarized, Ryan Jenkins not only represents a name, but also a phenomenon.


    "It''s been a long time, my stage."


    Ryan read a silent sentence in his heart, revealing a confident and proud smile, a unique aura belonging to a successful person, immediately radiated.


    "Oh, God! He is so special!" A photojournalist murmured to his companion while pressing the shutter, "Handsome and determined, easy-going and calm. Proud and confident, intelligent and sensitive... I have never I have seen someone who can interpret these temperaments so perfectly, he really is the most special one!"


    The sound from both sides of the red carpet was still a bit messy at first, and soon became a rhythm. The sound of ¡®Ryan¡¯ seemed not inferior to that of years ago.


    "Hi, everybody."


    Beckoning to both sides, Ryan walked to the side of the red carpet, greeted these crazy men and women, took the fountain pen in hand, and scribbled his name on the things they handed over.


    Although most of the movie posters handed to me were "Cat and Mouse Game" movie posters. But there are also many novels and records.


    "Ryan. I love you! I will always support you!" There were many shouts like this.


    "Remember. Ryan, you belong to all of us, don''t disappear anymore!" A female fan rushed over frantically.


    Five security personnel have been firmly by Ryan''s side to prevent those female fans from making outrageous actions.


    "You are so handsome. Ryan, I want to marry you..."


    "Let me be your girlfriend..."


    "This is my phone, I''m waiting anytime..."


    Ryan turned a deaf ear to such crazy talk, and after signing more than a dozen names while walking, he walked back to the red carpet.


    Although he was alone, Ryan walked along, causing a commotion no less than a small riot, and security personnel on both sides of the red carpet stared at him closely. I wish this scourge would run into Chandler Hall so that they could escape from the sea of ??misery.


    "Hi, Tommy."


    Walking to the interview area, Ryan hugged Tom Hanks and exaggerated. "God, how did you manage to lose weight so quickly."


    Compared with the time of shooting, Tom Hanks has regained his Forrest Gump figure.


    "Eat less and exercise more. It''s that simple." Tom Hanks winked at him.


    "Ryan, can you say a few words?" a reporter shouted.


    This is still an acquaintance. The entertainment reporter of the Los Angeles Times, John Bennet, is the former assistant of Mick Taylor, who has been promoted to the editor-in-chief of the entertainment version.


    "Hey, John, I haven''t seen each other for a few years. I heard that Mick has been promoted to editor-in-chief. Please help me say hello to him." Ryan put away his smile and beckoned to several other reporters.


    "Ryan, the filming took only one and a half months. Will such a fast speed affect the quality of the film?"


    "There is a phenomenon in Hollywood called Spielberg speed, which is synonymous with quality and quantity." Ryan said calmly.


    "You bought the adaptation rights for this autobiography as early as a few years ago. You are one of the planners and producers of this movie. Have you prepared this role for yourself a long time ago?"


    "you can say so."


    "You enrolled in the Film School of the University of Southern California, and some people reported that your homework grades were worrying. Is this true? Also, someone familiar with the matter revealed that you once chatted with a girl intimately on campus. Is that yours? Girlfriend, who is she?"


    "I don''t answer questions that have nothing to do with the movie."


    Leaving the last sentence behind, Ryan left the interview area without looking back, and after taking a regular group photo, walked into the Chandler Hall.


    Saying hello to Nicole from a distance, Ryan was taken by Spielberg to the other two giants near DreamWorks.


    "Hello, David, and Jereffer." Ryan shook hands with David Geffen and Jeff Katzenberg.


    "Ryan, we have seen the sample, your performance is so good, Tommy can not take any advantage in front of you." David Geffen understands that standing in front of him is not just an actor.


    "Thank you." Ryan said modestly, "This is Steven''s credit. He used a unique rhythm to mobilize the state of every actor."


    "I heard that Jenkins Pictures is looking for a partner for "Men in Black", what about DreamWorks?" David Geffen continued.


    "Sorry, David." Jon Landau came over. "We have reached an agreement with Ms. Stewart. Warner and Twentieth Century Fox will participate in the joint production of this film."


    "Your actions are really fast." David Geffen has never concealed his ambition to make DreamWorks a giant.


    "Actually, Ryan is the fastest."


    Katzenberg, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "We found William Steiger and wanted to buy the rights to the adaptation of his comics. I didn''t expect Jenkins Pictures to be one step ahead of us."


    "Ryan, can you transfer the movie copyright of "Shrek" to DreamWorks?" He looked at Ryan.


    "I heard Stephen say that you are making "Brother Ant" and "Prince of Egypt", and still have your energy to invest in new animations?" This is a tactful rejection, even if Ryan wants to have an animation with DreamWorks The studio cooperation will not be now.


    Strictly speaking, the first three animations of DreamWorks are not too successful. It was Shrek that allowed them to completely reverse the situation and make DreamWorks Animation Studios the most profitable department of the entire DreamWorks.


    When they are most difficult, they can make some suggestions, such as spin off the animation department separately, such as providing financial support, and only need to get a part of the shares.


    Friendship belongs to friendship, and business belongs to business. On this point, Ryan has received strict training from Scott Swift.


    When did DreamWorks begin to fall into a financial and debt crisis? It seems to be after the failure of the two super productions of "Brave to the Golden City" and "Pearl Harbor".


    Bombshell is definitely a genius. Entering the new century, he pitted DreamWorks twice in succession, and the one after Pearl Harbor almost killed DreamWorks.


    "Brave to Death Island" was ignored by myself, and that "Peerless Tribulation" can not be let go. The explosive shell must be pushed to the height of the previous life.


    Ryan was entertaining a few people, thinking wildly, as long as it was an opportunity to strengthen his strength, he did not intend to let it go. The more resources he has in his hands in the future, the less pressure he will face, except for Nicole and Natalie. Thoughts, there are not many things that really make him care.


    Having said that, it¡¯s luck to be able to get the movie copyright of Shrek. Some time ago, when he was teaching Taylor¡¯s music, he happened to see the little guy flipping through this comic, and then he remembered this classic animated movie. Pai Jinsli contacted the original author and used a lot of methods to purchase the right of adaptation at a high price.


    In addition, Garcia''s investigation of Charlie and Angels also came out. "Charlie''s Angels" was acquired by Flower Pictures, which he invested in.


    Shaking his head without a trace, Ryan knew that it has become extremely difficult to buy the film rights of books or TV shows. "Shrek" and "Charlie''s Angels" were also obtained through Drew Barrymore. .


    Correct! There is also the panda who only knows kung fu. I have used it to coax several children, so I should write it out as soon as possible. If there is trouble in the future, the next issue of "Vanity Fair" is ready.


    "Hi, Ryan, what do you think?"


    Seeing that most of the people around Ryan dispersed, Carter Eisner walked over.


    "It''s been a long time, Carter." This guy has a very different style from his uncle, and Ryan has always been good to his senses.


    "Reid and John asked me to ask When will we start preparing for the next album?"


    "The next album?"


    Before the age of sixteen, Ryan¡¯s album was only one by one, and now the contract between the two parties has been fulfilled, ¡°Let¡¯s put it this way, Carter, I plan to concentrate all my energy on the movie. Even if I release a song, it will only be interesting. Now, release a single or ep, and..."


    Having said that, Ryan made a gesture that you understand.


    After the release of "Toy Story", Disney''s board of directors became a laughing stock and a rift with Ryan Jenkins was no secret in Hollywood.


    Carter Eisner knew that his uncle had sternly rebuked Ryan Jenkins on the board of directors. Such remarks would surely be passed on to Ryan¡¯s ears, and Disney¡¯s policy is indeed changing. Wherever he can handle it, and the many interest alliances he is scrupulous about, I am afraid that his uncle would have suppressed him a long time ago.


    Including the people inside Disney, everyone knows that the cooperation between them cannot be restored to the past. ()

 Chapter 227： Who is the cat and who is the mouse

    Looking back now, Carter Eisner feels that there are some things that neither he nor the entire Disney has overlooked. In the previous cooperation, the two parties have indeed obtained satisfactory benefits, but in the most important film distribution channels, as well as several movies. Ryan has never considered Walt Disney for large productions with a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars.


    To be precise, he has never tied himself to any film company, especially between Disney, and apart from two records, there is almost no in-depth cooperation.


    The record is one by one. The film has temporarily stopped cooperating since "Game of the Brave". The distribution channels include Warner, Universal, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox waiting in line to release the film for him. What''s more, Jenkins After the film industry acquired Carlock Films, it already has North American distribution rights, even if it cannot distribute its own films.


    All in all, in summary, Carter Eisner has only one feeling. Ryan Jenkins has been eyeing Pixar very early, and has always left behind for Disney. Even after "The Lion King", he praised the 2d hand-drawn animation so much. The voice cannot be separated from him.


    The opponent''s vision is sharp and his mind is complex, far beyond most people''s imagination. I really don''t know how the woman Nicole Kidman taught such a genius monster.


    Carter Eisner could only sigh in the end. Ryan Jenkins was no longer the gentle boy before, and no one would dare to look down upon a 16-year-old billionaire.


    "Cat and Mouse Game"! Carter Eisner thought of the name of this movie. Between Ryan Jenkins and Walt Disney, isn''t it an alternative cat-and-mouse game? But who is a cat, who is a mouse, and who can make it clear.


    "Nicole, this is Darren, David, Reese, and Chen, my classmates."


    After greeted several mentors, Ryan brought four classmates to Nicole and introduced them one by one. Nicole understood that the classmates Ryan introduced to her must have won him to a certain extent. Approval, and shook hands with the four.


    "My short film was completed with their assistance." Ryan added.


    "Then I have to say thank you?" Nicole said with a smile.


    "No, we are collaborating with each other."


    Faced with so many celebrities and celebrities, the four of them are somewhat nervous.


    "Hey, several big directors and producers in the future, you should get used to this atmosphere sooner." Ryan deliberately joked to ease their emotions.


    "Oh, God, that''s David Fincher. His "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Screams" are my love!" Darren Bousman''s eyes flashed green, and he clearly saw it. To the fans of idols.


    "Do you need me to introduce?" Ryan made a gesture of please and walked towards David Fincher first, "Darren, David is preparing a new film. If you can get his approval, you can go to the New Year holiday. The crew does odd jobs, this is a rare opportunity for practice."


    "Is it really possible?"


    "of course."


    Ryan did what he said, and after a simple introduction, he left. As for whether the Darren and the four want to impress David Fincher, it depends on them.


    "It seems that you are very attentive to these four people?" Nicole took Ryan''s arms and asked curiously.


    "Four talented people, and they are willing to work hard, they are good people." Ryan stared at Nicole and smiled.


    "It''s really rare, you are willing to help others and make friends." Nicole pinched his arms lightly in a strange tone.


    "Could it be that I haven''t taken the initiative to help people before?" Ryan snorted dissatisfiedly, "Do you need me to list them all, dear Nicole?"


    "Come on, Ryan." Nicole didn''t bother to talk to him anymore, turning around to see another blonde woman approaching, "Honey, someone has come to thank you."


    "Who?"


    Ryan followed Nicole''s gaze, and Charlize Theron, wearing a gray and white one-shoulder evening dress, had come close.


    "Hello, Miss Kidman." Charlize shook Nicole first, and then said to Ryan, "Thank you, Ryan."


    "You''re welcome, Charlie, I just recommend that you go to the audition. If you can get that role, it means you have enough strength."


    Just last week, Charlize Theron passed the third audition and won the heroine of "Jurassic Park 2."


    "No, Ryan, I really should say thank you."


    Charlize Theron is a smart person. She vaguely knew that Steven Spielberg''s original favorite was Julian Moore. Later, after learning that he was recommended by Ryan, she had the third audition. Opportunity.


    "Is there time this weekend? Can I invite you to dinner to express my gratitude?" Her smile was very sweet.


    "Weekend?" Ryan just wanted to answer, Nicole squeezed his arm concealedly, and had to tactfully refuse, "You are too polite, Charlie, don''t bother."


    "okay then."


    When turning around, Charlize Theron frowned. A woman always felt very sensitive. Although Nicole Kidman''s movements were small, she did not escape her eyes.


    "This is not a simple woman, Ryan." Nicole suddenly spoke as she watched the tall figure disappearing into the crowd.


    "Come on, Nicole." Ryan rolled his eyes helplessly. "There are a few simple things about being a famous woman in Hollywood."


    "Are you talking about me, Ryan?" Nicole was dissatisfied.


    "Okay, dear, time is almost up." Ryan wouldn''t be so stupid to be entangled with this kind of problem, and deliberately looked at the watch, "We should go in, the movie is about to begin."


    Although this movie is about the experience of a criminal, it is not a traditional crime movie. It uses a relaxed ridicule to show Frank''s criminal experience. The opening line is undoubtedly the most reflective of the movie''s theme-two mice Falling into the butter, one of them gave up hope and drowned, and the other struggled until the butter was whipped into butter, which allowed him to escape.


    In fact, from another perspective, Frank has a traditional ¡®American spirit. ¡¯


    The super criminal played by Ryan is young, wild, simple, bold, and intelligent, but full of childishness. At the age of sixteen, he ran away from home because of the breakdown of his family. He relied on his extraordinary courage, superb ability to imitate, and Ingeniously observing his words, disguised as the deputy captain and traveling around the United States, in just two years, he cheated millions of dollars with fake checks, like an adult man, wandering among the beauties of the car, with ease.


    However, Frank did not do all this for himself. He just wanted to restore the broken family back to integrity, and wanted his father to regain the honor he once had. He was like the second mouse that fell into the cream, struggling desperately. , I want to get rid of my own destiny.


    This reflected Frank''s innocence. He never understood that it is difficult to reconcile a broken mirror. What he did would only make him embark on a path of no return that is difficult to stop.


    The liar is lonely, and Frank is also lonely. Ryan uses his own characteristics and acting skills to bring Frank''s confusion, simplicity and freehand interpretation to life in the first half of the play.


    Although all the audience knew that the face belonged to Ryan, the temperament displayed by his master was clearly another person''s temperament, which was a temperament that a genius in the sixties would have.


    The biggest highlight of this movie is the rivalry between Karl and Frank. Unlike Ryan¡¯s chic, Agent Karl, played by Tom Hanks, is a middle-aged man with a dull personality, a bad career, and a failed marriage. .


    Colleagues are not welcome, and the boss doesn''t wait much. Every day, he only knows that he is immersed in work, but he is played around by a little boy like Frank.


    The first match between Ryan and Hanks sparked. When Frank used deception and a little luck to play this fairly savvy agent between applause, many people were hooked. In the confrontation between the two actors in just a few minutes, Da Soo¡¯s acting skills showed an Oscar level.


    Frank and Carl, one is a criminal, the other is a detective. They were supposed to be natural enemies, but two equally lonely people finally gave birth to a different kind of father-son relationship, which is also the inner main line of the film.


    After a long hunt, it is not difficult to experience each other''s loneliness. Why do two people always chat on Christmas? Because there is no one close to them except each other.


    To explain it in another way, Frank represents freedom, wildness and recklessness, while the pressing Karl represents responsibility and obligation. It was not until that day that Frank looked back and found that his most cherished things had long been lost.


    In the end, Karl swears by his daughter in exchange for Frank''s trust. In Frank''s heart, Karl''s loyalty to his daughter should be as indestructible as his trust in his father.


    With this kind of trust, Frank put the handcuffs on his wrists, and as Karl walked out of the church, in the peaceful music of the choir, the French police flocked to him, wishing to tear him up.


    At this moment, trust was established between the two, Karl promised to extradite Frank back to the United States, and Frank believed in his promise.


    The ending of the movie is as easy as the tone of the whole movie. After five years of overcoming his sentence, Fran became a technical consultant under Karl''s rush, specializing in solving difficult cases of cheque fraud, and even finally became a lecturer for a large company. , Taught check security technology and anti-fraud technology, and achieved a unique American dream.


    The pace of the whole movie is extremely fast, like a strictly trained person running around the track, which includes Spielberg¡¯s credit, and Ryan removed some redundant content when writing the script, thus changing the plot. To be more compact.


    With the rise of the Internet, the fast-paced era has arrived, and commercial movies that are warm and swallowing are destined to be eliminated by the market. rs()

 Chapter 228： Always take advantage of

    "Ryan, don''t you think that using the methods in movies to show crime will produce bad misleading effects among teenagers?"


    Not long after the press conference after the premiere, some reporters asked sharp questions.


    "I don''t think so." Ryan put the microphone on the table in front of him and said relaxedly, "Didn''t you realize that the theme of the movie always revolves around family and affection. A broken family ruined an original innocence. The innocent child, let him embark on the path of crime."


    Then, there was something he would never believe, "Film is very educational-no matter how strong you are, as long as you commit a crime, you will definitely fall into the French Net. Also, everyone will make mistakes. Making mistakes is not from now on. Then there is no chance, you can completely reform and make a career."


    "Ryan, you have shown acting skills as good as Mr. Tom Hanks in the movie. You know, you haven''t played a role for many years. How do you maintain your own state?"


    "This is due to Steven." Ryan turned his head and looked at Spielberg, showing a just right smile, "Steven is an excellent director. It is under his adjustment and drive that I quickly find Back to the state, and Tommy, you must know that when I was shooting, I faced two Oscar winners. I kept telling myself that I had to use my full strength, so..."


    Ryan shrugged playfully.


    "Mr. Jenkins, you have a lot of interactions with several beautiful actresses in the movie, how do they perform?"


    "Very good." Ryan frowned.


    "Is there any type you like, if possible, who would you choose to be your girlfriend?"


    "It has nothing to do with the movie."


    "Ryan, you will be 17 years old soon, do you have a girlfriend?"


    "It is said that someone saw you enter and exit Charlize Theron''s villa. What is your relationship with her..."


    "Last month someone saw you playing with Miss Natalie Portman in Los Angeles, where are you going?"


    Near the end of the press conference, the expected event finally happened. The press conference became a gossip vegetable market, and Ryan was not interested in answering these questions. Get up and leave directly.


    "Oh, he''s so arrogant..."


    "Even if he said there is no comment, we will have to write tomorrow."


    As long as you are still standing in front of the stage, this kind of thing will definitely happen in the future. Ryan doesn''t mind that much. It is necessary to show his attitude. He is insensitive to the title of idol when he grows up.


    The reporters and paparazzi would not let him go in this way. Even if Ryan got in the car, these guys kept pressing the shutter through the window, asking some outrageous questions out loud.


    ** and gossip are always their favorites.


    The next day, "Cat and Mouse Game" landed in North America across the board. Such a film jointly created by a super director, two Oscar winners, and a grown-up super genius, instantly became the focus of fans¡¯ attention and the entertainment of various media. Front page news.


    "Gorgeous adventure. The final return! Ryan Jenkins is back on stage. This is a movie with a fast-changing rhythm like mv. It is a real vacation movie. It is for audiences who really know how to entertain. The best Thanksgiving gift."


    ¡ª "Boston Globe" Tai Boer


    "This is a perfect interpretation of a genius to another genius, Ryan Jenkins, a super genius in the nineties, no one would deny his mind. Frank Abaganel, a miracle in the sixties A genius liar, the collision between two geniuses produced dazzling sparks, which was perfect to suffocate people."


    ¡ª "Los Angeles Times" Mick Taylor


    "Genius often means loneliness, just like the little Frank in the film. The unfortunate family encounters made him very painful and unusually lonely. Perhaps only another genius can experience this somewhat similar feeling. He is acting in this Before the role. Ryan Jenkins once chased after Frank himself and asked him questions for a week. Only then did he have an amazing performance in the movie. Even though his appearance is too handsome, the corners of his eyes and brows show everything. It''s wisdom. There is never a lack of persistence on a young face. In a word, Ryan Jenkins has not fallen below our estimate in performance when he grows up."


    ¡ª "Hollywood Report" Todd McCarthy


    "This is the most interesting movie of the year. Two hours are very enjoyable. Ryan Jenkins and Tom Hanks alone are worth the price of the movie!"


    Very rare, the New York Post, which has never dealt with Ryan very much, gave a good comment.


    Most of the media gave praise to Ryan and Tom Hanks¡¯ performances, but they triggered a lot of discussions on the plot of the movie. This fast-paced movie has received a lot of critics, especially those Full of criticism from film critics of literary and artistic fan.


    "Ryan Jenkins and Steven Spielberg are obviously going to give everyone some fun on Thanksgiving. "Cat and Mouse Game" is like an extended version of MV. If the soundtrack is more, Ryan will show off his voice again. It can be sent to the mtv station to play."


    David Denby of "The New Yorker" obviously doesn''t like the rhythm of the movie.


    "Whenever I see a movie with ideas and scripts provided by Ryan Jenkins, there is always an indescribable feeling. Although his ideas are never limited to one subject and are full of meticulous rigor, they lack a strong personal style. ."


    "The plot designed by Ryan is always lyrical when it should be lyrical, when it is comedy when it is comedy, when it is "¡¡" when "¡¡", the rhythm and link are accurate to a few decimal places, just like the most precise machine tool. He has almost become synonymous with Hollywood assembly line processing plants."


    Another newspaper criticized the plot of the movie in more popular terms.


    "Ryan planned a template for more than two hours for this movie. There is a detailed description of how the plot should develop at each moment. You only need to fill it with different characters, dialogues and scenes. There is reliable news, Jenkins Shadow Yiye set up a team of screenwriters, dedicated to serving Ryan, responsible for filling in the script outline and concept settings he provided. It seems that when he grows up, he likes this patchwork game very much and is ready to completely degenerate into a slave to commercial movies! "


    Of course, there are also film critics who dislike Ryan who questioned his acting skills.


    "This movie could have used a more rigorous way to deeply explore the huge problems behind Frank, which should be a wake-up call theme, but Ryan Jenkins''s nonchalant performance has turned it into today''s nondescript. Tom Hanks is bloated and clumsy like a penguin, Ryan Jenkins has no aura, the movie is completely reduced to his face show, he told his female fans through countless close-ups, come buy tickets , Look at how handsome I am when I grow up!"


    Criticism will always exist, no one can win everyone''s favor, not to mention that many of them are against it for the sake of opposition.


    This is indeed a relaxed and happy commercial movie. In Ryan¡¯s words, you like serious and profound themes. You can completely skip this movie and go to the theater line to watch your favorite genre. This is the market height. In a free North America, no one will ask for compulsory stalls, and the public has the right to freely choose films.


    Besides, it''s the Thanksgiving holiday where the whole family gathers, and this light-hearted theme is more likely to be welcomed.


    Nowadays, North America can be said to have entered the Internet age. The film critics in traditional media may still have enough influence on older people, but they are not worth mentioning in the minds of young people. They do not believe in authority, plus The information on the Internet is more free enough for them to exchange their opinions.


    The advent of the Internet age also means that the pace of the entire society is accelerating. It is also young people who first realize this. When they get used to this rhythm, their sense of film will also undergo the same changes.


    The impact of literary films may be limited, but commercial films must be changed for this. The length of "Cat and Mouse" was reduced by Ryan from two and a half hours to a little more than two hours, which is a typical of this change.


    "Yes, the pace of the movie is very fast. We watched it very enjoyable. Ryan took us to experience an extraordinary adventure. This is a completely different feeling. I think this kind of movie is suitable for our young people. lifestyle."


    This is what a teenage fan said in an interview.


    Different from the praise and criticism in traditional media, there is a good voice on the Internet, and this film has an excellent reputation among young people.


    Many netizens left messages on DreamWorks website to express their love for the movie. Many of them wanted to praise Ryan''s acting skills, but remembered that DreamWorks is not owned by Ryan, so they moved to Pixar''s website. On the Internet, a variety of supportive speeches were issued.


    "Ryan, your performance in the movie is absolutely worthy of an Oscar nomination."


    "If the college does not nominate you, we call on everyone to boycott the Oscars..."


    "Take down the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences..."


    On the message board of the Pixar website, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com has completely become a place of graffiti for Ryan fans.


    Yahoo is also enjoying the same treatment. After all, anyone who knows Ryan knows that he is one of the bosses of this Internet giant, and this can be regarded as the place where his fans are most concentrated on the Internet.


    "Ryan, I think you need a personal website."


    It was only two days before Jerry Yang called. He saw a business opportunity for Yahoo''s stock soaring. "Yahoo can create a personal website for you to communicate with fans. How about being affiliated with Yahoo? "


    "Well, Jerry, remember to leave me a dedicated section on the website." Ryan thought for a while and agreed.


    He is one of Yahoo¡¯s bosses and promotes his own website. No matter what is said in the past, no media group can stop the rise of the Internet. People who follow the old fashioned can only be swept into the old paper. (To be continued.

 Chapter 229： Take what you need

    Like all crews, after the Thanksgiving holiday, the crew began to rush to major cities in North America to promote, but Spielberg was missing. "Jurassic Park 2" was in the critical stage of preparations, and the old Jewish man was directly separated from the crew.


    Besides, there are Ryan and Tom Hanks in the crew, which is enough to attract the attention of the public and the media.


    Despite the media¡¯s mixed praise for the mv-style rhythm and overly relaxed plot, after the first four days, "Cat and Mouse Game" won 40.22 million U.S. dollars and successfully reached the top of the North American weekly box office rankings, even though it was away from the 50 million U.S. The investment is still a little away, but it is also a very good start.


    The Big Three of DreamWorks breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. This is the first film produced after DreamWorks was founded. There are many people in Hollywood waiting to see their jokes. Now they have a good start. As long as there is no accident, Movies will definitely sell well.


    What people didn''t expect was that after the film''s first week of box office was released, the famous film critic Roger Albert''s film review was late.


    "Because I have watched it a few times, I have only written a little bit until now. Speaking of it, this is not a big production, but it looks very relaxed and enjoyable. Putting down the plot and rhythm, a forty-year-old man and A sixteen-year-old man showed us a different father-son relationship. Tom Hanks and Ryan Jenkins presented the most outstanding performance on the big screen this year! Especially Ryan, he still grows up. Shockingly, the Hollywood child star curse seems to never exist. His performance in this movie completely surpasses the "Sixth Sense". With the role of Frank, he definitely deserves an Oscar nomination for best actor. !"


    This is Roger Albert''s article in the "Chicago Tribune" column. Although everyone knows that he appreciates Ryan Jenkins, he never expected to give such a high evaluation.


    In particular, ¡®affordable to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor,¡¯ you must know that there are very few best actor nomination winners under the age of twenty in the entire Oscar history.


    If he is not Roger Albert. If not everyone knows that he has nothing to do with Ryan Jenkins at all, at this time someone will definitely stand up and question that he was bought by Ryan''s team.


    Of course, there are no shortage of people who are against the tune.


    "Ryan Jenkins''s performance in "Cat and Mouse Game" really deserves so much praise? All I saw was a handsome face dangling in front of the camera. The girls in the theater kept screaming, If this is considered acting. It also deserves an Oscar nomination for best actor, then the Oscar is too cheap."


    ¡ª¡ªGary Granham, The New York Times


    In fact, after December, the Oscar''s public relations battle began. Pai? Kingsley is leading the team to actively public relations and bought large-scale advertisements in the media such as Vanity Fair, Los Angeles Times, and Hollywood Reporter. On the page, many gunmen are hired. A fierce propaganda offensive is about to start.


    Ryan knows that his acting skills are not a problem at all, but age and qualifications are obstacles, of course. With such a role, it is almost impossible to get a little golden man, all he asks for is a nomination.


    There is also Nicole''s "Small Island Cry", which will be screened soon. This is a work that laid the foundation for her, and the nomination should not be missed.


    and so. Ryan will add a double insurance for this year and the next few years.


    When he returned to Los Angeles with the crew in North America, the box office of "Cat and Mouse Game" was officially released in the third week, following the $32.25 million in the second week. In the third week, the box office was 25.18 million US dollars, only one step away from breaking 100 million.


    "Bah~Bah~Bah~"


    Smoke of gunpowder rose from the muzzle, Ryan took off the thick earplugs, and after retracting the magazine, put the Beretta 92f or m10 pistol aside, then activated the button, and the target paper slowly came in front of him.


    "Oh, God!"


    Looking at the undamaged target paper, Ryan had the urge to tear it up, and none of the fifteen bullets hit the target, which was really embarrassing.


    "Don''t be discouraged, Ryan."


    Harvey Weinstein patted his arm comfortingly, "Your posture is very standard, just practice a few more times."


    "I hope so." Ryan shook his head. After all, it''s normal to miss the target for the first time playing with a gun, isn''t it?


    This is a private club in Malibu, dedicated to entertaining wealthy celebrities, not only shooting ranges, but also tennis, riding, golf and other events.


    "Hey, Ryan, do you see it."


    When the target paper was moved over, Harvey Weinstein smiled with fat on his face, "This is the result of an experienced veteran."


    "It''s really good." Ryan glanced across the target paper, and then made a suggestion, "Harvey, how about we go riding a horse next?"


    Hearing Ryan''s words, the flesh on Harvey Weinstein''s face was shaking more severely. With his current size, he still wants to practice riding?


    "Forget it, let''s play golf." Ryan was just joking before.


    The white four-seater battery car is driving on the court. Maybe it¡¯s not a weekend. There are not many people here. Harvey Weinstein knew that Ryan asked him out. He must have something to talk about. After playing a few holes at random, he drove. The battery car came to the empty outdoor rest area.


    "It''s a shame, Ryan." Sitting under the umbrella, the two chatted while drinking black tea. "Last time that guy Bob had a swimsuit party, I asked you to invite you, but you didn''t arrive."


    "I have invited some young and beautiful female models for you." He winked his eyes.


    "Oh, you are so generous, let me think about it." Ryan put down the porcelain cup and knocked his head. "These women definitely want to enter the film industry. If something happens, how many roles do I need to pay?"


    "Just find a few small characters and let it go." Harvey Weinstein didn''t care.


    Sometimes it''s not that I don''t want to, but I can''t. Ryan knows that on that occasion, there are not many men who can really hold the bottom line, so there is no plan to participate in the swimsuit party.


    "I''m not like you, Harvey, who have so many characters." Ryan smiled, his face straightened, and changed the subject, "I heard you haven''t had a great time with Disney recently?"


    "Yes." Harvey Weinstein shrugged. "Aren''t you the same?"


    The Weinstein brothers are also powerful figures. After Miramax was acquired by Disney, they did not receive enough attention. Instead, they became a company specializing in distributing niche movies for Disney, which is very different from the original idea of ??their brothers.


    Especially Michael Eisner, the tyrant of Disney, and the difference in the relationship between the Weinstein brothers and him has long been spread throughout the circle.


    "Disney has become the kingdom of Michael Eisner alone." Ryan frowned, thinking about it for a long time before saying this.


    "As long as Bob and I are together for one day, Miramax won''t allow him to reach out."


    Although Disney is the largest shareholder of Miramax, it is not easy to reorganize Miramax¡¯s board and kick the Weinstein brothers out.


    "In this way, our cooperation can continue." Ryan knuckles, slowly tapping the white table, "Harvey, we are old friends. We have been working together very happily. Ni and I may have Today, the first person you should be thankful for is you."


    "You are too polite, Ryan." After so many years of dealings, Harvey Weinstein knew who the young man opposite was. "Is it Nicole?"


    "Harvey." Ryan did not answer his question, and said self-consciously, "We jointly produced a trilogy series, big investment and big production, I guarantee the box office and word-of-mouth double harvest, the global box office will definitely exceed one billion. US dollars."


    Harvey Weinstein stood up immediately, knowing that Ryan must have something else to say.


    "One day, I mean if you and Bob can''t withstand Disney''s pressure." Ryan made an apologetic gesture and continued, "I want to leave Miramax and re-establish a film company, I... ¡­Can provide you with financial support."


    "Really?"


    "Harvey, you should know that my promise has always been valid."


    After so many years, everyone knows that Ryan will do what he says in film.


    "Well, Ryan, please state your terms, I hope you don''t go too far." Harvey Weinstein understands that this has nothing to do with friendship, it''s just a deal, "Ryan, shouldn''t... yours? age¡­¡­"


    "Harvey, I only need two best actresses and a few nominations." Ryan slowly tapped his fingers, "I think as long as the work is excellent, Nicole''s one shouldn''t be too difficult for you? "


    Harvey Weinstein smiled, Nicole Kidman must have acting skills, must have qualifications and qualifications, as long as there is a role of similar weight, it is really not difficult to cooperate with public relations.


    Ryan Jenkins is not the former Ryan Jenkins, and his Harvey Weinstein is not for a little golden man''s handy Harvey Weinstein.


    "Oscar next year..." Ryan stretched out two fingers, and Harvey Weinstein nodded, "I''ve seen the screening of "Island Cry", no problem."


    Just a few days before Ryan returned to Los Angeles, "Scary Island" had just been screened in Los Angeles. Although Nicole¡¯s performance in it was called inexplicably neurotic by some tabloids, it received unanimous praise from the mainstream media. It is believed that she has deeply dug out the inner world of this character.


    After calling George, Ryan asked him to send the script and the set sketch.


    "Harvey, the investment is 50-50. I am the producer of the film. From the actors to the staff, the first choice is to respect my choice. The start-up time may be later."


    "No problem!" Harvey Weinstein wanted him to do this, "As long as you need, Ryan, I can go to work as a handyman." ()

 Chapter 230： Prototype character

    After talking about the deal, Ryan and Harvey Weinstein returned to the court, playing high and low skills, and did not leave until sunset.


    What Ryan traded was naturally "The Matrix." He had to pay the corresponding price for what he wanted. This is one of Hollywood''s most basic rules.


    After George started the car, Ryan was still in a trance. He had already sent people to find the director brothers. Although there was news in the previous life that they had rough ideas in the 1980s, the creativity and conception had taken over by himself a few years ago. , And no one has ever asked for trouble. For things like this that may overlap, it depends on who starts earlier and who gets the better name.


    Speaking of which, he can remember the Wachowski brothers, not just because of "The Matrix."


    These two people were also the screenwriters of "V for Vendetta", which was a movie starring Natalie. Later, the boss of the Wachowski brothers had a **** reassignment operation and became the Wachowski brother and sister. This is Hollywood. One of the famous gossip.


    Hmm...There is still something to ask for martial arts instructors, so don''t worry for now.


    The end and the beginning of the year are often the busiest times for actors and agents. Not only are there various invitations to the premiere, but there are also some parties to attend. In addition, those who want to gain something in the new awards season also need Throw your own party.


    There are some things that should not be overdoed, but if you don''t do it, you may miss the award.


    Before Christmas arrived, Ryan held the banquet hall of the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel and held two parties in a row. Then he attended several parties hosted by others with Nicole. This kind of entertainment was more tiring than filming. When Christmas arrived, the two were exhausted physically and mentally.


    At the same time, the publicity in the media did not relax at all times, and large-scale comments on "Cat and Mouse Game" and "Small Island Cry" continued to be released, and there were two performance awards that belonged to me.


    On the day before Christmas, these messy things came to an end for a while, and Ryan was finally able to enjoy the school¡¯s Christmas vacation. Unfortunately, even if he was staying at home, he still couldn¡¯t take it easy.


    On the day of the premiere of "Cat and Mouse Game", because of DreamWorks reasons, I thought of Bang Bei¡¯s "The End of the World" or "Peerless Tribulation". Later, people asked about it in the Screenwriter Guild and Hollywood, but it is not like this now. The strange script existed, so he immediately started to write the script outline and settings, let Jinsli publicize it everywhere, and then hand it over to the editing team for supplementation.


    "It''s a terrible story that couldn''t be worse!"


    Nicole sat on the other side of the desk, with her white feet resting on Ryan¡¯s lap, most of her body lying in a high-back chair, lazily commenting on Ryan¡¯s outline of the story, ¡°There¡¯s better than this. Is it even more outrageous? Let a group of oil workers go to the space to blow up meteorites and save the earth. This is the worst story I have ever written by you."


    "This is just a science fiction movie, a popcorn movie, as long as the basic logic works." Ryan crackled on the keyboard, "The audience is watching special effects, entertainment, and stories are secondary."


    After this movie, Bo Bangbei''s confidence was extremely inflated. Instead of playing Bombing, he switched to playing war and love. The result was not only pitted himself, but also DreamWorks.


    "Isn''t done yet, I remember you wrote it for a long time." Nicole''s feet dangled on Ryan''s lap.


    "Nicole, if you continue, I won''t be able to finish it by this time tomorrow." Ryan pointed to her naughty feet.


    "Alright alright."


    Nicole stopped shaking, put her feet on his lower abdomen, and slowly rubbed it back and forth. Ryan rolled her eyes helplessly. She was obviously deliberate, so she gave her a look, "Nicole! "


    "Hurry up and write, help me massage my legs after finishing writing, and going to parties these few days has almost exhausted me." Nicole had an innocent expression.


    massage? Now it¡¯s not a massage that can solve the problem. Just when Ryan wanted to do something, the door creaked and was pushed open from the outside. There were only two people in Los Angeles who dared to break into his room like this. One is playing tricks, the other is blonde and curly hair.


    "Nicole, and Ryan." Tyler jumped into the room, saw the poses of the two of them, blinked the royal blue eyes, and asked curiously, "You...what are you doing? It''s weird. ~"


    "I''m giving Nicole a massage." Ryan asked instead, "Why are you here?"


    "Me?" Tyler pointed to his nose and smiled happily, "I''m here to get a Christmas present, don''t say you are not prepared!"


    You are so conscious! Ryan pointed, and after Nicole took her feet back, she stood up, beckoned to Taylor, and said, "Come on, little guy."


    "I''m not a little guy~" She wrinkled her nose.


    Ryan opened a guitar case and took out a brand-new handmade rosewood guitar. The words "Taylor" on the guitar were very eye-catching. This was made by the manufacturer of the "Taylor" guitar.


    "Wow, it''s so beautiful, I finally have a real guitar." Taylor walked over a few steps and asked, "Can I try it?"


    "Of course, it can only take a few minutes." Seeing the little girl''s angry eyes, Ryan rubbed her head, "When you grow up, you can play it casually."


    "Okay." Taylor pouted.


    When she put her guitar halfway on the carpet and skillfully finished playing an etude, Nicole also took the prepared gift from the room. It was a pearl bracelet. Although it was not very expensive, it was very delicate. .


    Tyler was also welcome. After taking it, he put it straight on his left wrist, then compared the red agate bracelet on his right wrist and frowned.


    "Don''t you like it, dear." Nicole said after taking a look, "It''s beautiful."


    "But...but..." Tyler looked at Nicole''s face, and said with her lips pursed, "I think this red color is still beautiful."


    Nicole smiled and said nothing, little girl, don''t all like bright colors?


    "I heard my mother say that this bracelet was a gift from Ryan when he first saw me." The little guy stuck his tongue out playfully, "I was still a little smaller than Austin at the time. "


    "Well, my dear, this is very memorable." Nicole bends down affectionately and kisses her.


    Every year in December, he and Nicole give her double gifts, besides Christmas gifts, there is also a birthday gift.


    "Ryan, this is the best guitar I have ever received." When Tyler left in his car, his eyes turned into crescent moons.


    After Christmas, while others were still busy with the promotion and public relations of the awards season, Ryan quietly left Los Angeles with Nicole and went to Sinclair, a small town in the Mojave Desert, to visit the uproar of this year throughout North America. The heroine of a lawsuit.


    "These are the materials that Garcia just sent, recording the life of Irene Brockovich, Nicole..."


    Ryan hadn¡¯t finished speaking, the information had fallen into the hands of people around him, and Nicole flipped it casually, ¡°I know, this lady just brought down the Pacific Gas Power Company, allowing more than 600 plaintiffs to get 333 million U.S. dollars. Huge compensation, this is also the direct lawsuit with the highest amount of compensation in the history of the United States."


    After Garcia¡¯s investigation, Ryan is very clear about the causes and consequences of this lawsuit. The detailed information collected by the investigation and consulting company will definitely embarrass the crew of the previous life, and some of them are far from what was shown in the movie of the previous life. Out of the ordinary.


    However, this kind of inspirational movie will naturally abandon some of these things, so that the characters created will be welcomed.


    Nicole watched attentively at Irene Brockovich¡¯s character analysis and life experience, Ryan half leaned on the back seat of the car, his eyes swept over Nicole from time to time, and suddenly remembered the classic line in the movie. ''Because I am big''.


    It seemed that Nicole needed to wear a magic mask. Based on his past feel and experience, Ryan began to analyze what number Nicole needed to be suitable.


    The car entered Hinckley and stopped under a lawyer''s building. Since Jinsli had contacted Irene Brockovich before coming, she quickly led everyone into a conference room.


    "You mean to adapt this lawsuit and my experience into a movie?"


    Irene Brockovich tied her blond hair neatly behind her head, wearing the professional attire of a lawyer''s office, and her polite appearance was not at all like a shrew full of vulgar words.


    "Is there a problem, Ms. Brockovich?" Ryan folded his hands on the conference table, staring at the other side scorchingly.


    "Of course no problem!" Irene Brockovich suddenly took a picture off the table, "There are only two kinds of people who will refuse Ryan Jenkins'' invitation to the film, that is, fools and idiots!"


    Then, she looked at Nicole with hindsight, "So, Miss Kidman will play me?"


    "Yes!" Ryan nodded.


    "Ms. Brockwich...well, Irene." Nicole laughed. "No one told you that your experience is a real American dream."


    "I think you still need to convince another person, my boss In the past history, after this movie appeared, it directly changed the lives of the two protagonists. One of them became a famous barrister. One became an environmental protection expert and completely embarked on the road of making a fortune.


    Especially Irene Brockovich, after she became famous through the film, caused huge controversy. Even when Ryan was reborn, there was still no conclusion about whether Pacific Gas and Electric Company had suffered a disaster.


    However, these have nothing to do with Ryan. What he wants is an adaptation that conforms to mainstream values, an inspirational experience of a small person taking down a large company with a market value of tens of billions.


    Sure enough, the lawyer boss faced Ryan''s offer and agreed with almost no hesitation.


    "When shooting, I hope to invite two of them to appear in the movie." Ryan sent out an invitation when he parted.


    "We are very happy to be involved in it personally."


    After finishing the main prototype characters, all that is left is to create the script and find a suitable director. The first thing Ryan thought of was the bright bald head. rs()

 Chapter 231： 4 people

    Opening the file bag, Steven Soderberg took out a stack of materials. The top one was a very formal invitation. He knew that the invitation came from Jenkins Pictures, and that name resounded throughout the United States a few days ago. The young man even called him.


    Below is a brief outline and role introduction of the script, as well as a few newspaper clippings, most of which are details of the lawsuit between Irene Brockovich and Pacific Gas and Electric Company.


    He has also seen this lawsuit in the newspapers. Over the past few years, especially after the verdict this year, there has been a stir in the major media.


    Unexpectedly, Ryan Jenkins moved so fast, not long after the case was over, he aimed at the key characters inside, and wanted to make a biographical movie.


    Steven Soderberger flipped through the outline of the script and introduced the roles, and then looked at the tentatively determined list of actors, vaguely guessed what the other party was thinking. The film must be aimed at the 98 Oscars. .


    Although I admire each other¡¯s talents and abilities, frankly speaking, he and his small circle do not like the style of Ryan Jenkins. In the words of some friends, the other party is too cheap and doesn¡¯t understand art at all. .


    Of course, whether there is envy and jealousy in it, then only God knows. After all, he can get hundreds of millions of dollars in investment at every turn. For literary movies, this is simply impossible.


    "Steven, how did you think about it?" asked the agent and friend who was sitting across from him.


    "I need to see the complete script."


    Despite saying so, Steven Soderberg was already moved by seeing the $50 million shooting budget and the position of director and producer.


    At the same time, Jenkins Pictures is located in an office building in Burbank. Nicole was sitting in her office, watching the assistant bring a thick pile of materials from the outside and pile them on the desk.


    "Oh, God!" Nicole looked at the stacks of documents several inches thick and couldn''t help covering her forehead. Asked the female assistant, "Anything else?"


    "Also!" The female assistant nodded and explained, "Mr. Rodriguez sent a lot of relevant information..."


    "Take them all." Nicole waved her hand.


    Nicole knew that these materials were carefully investigated by Ryan, except for Irene Brockovich''s detailed introduction. There are also the law firm and Pacific Gas and Electric Company, as well as the case of the lawsuit not long after its conclusion.


    These are all conducive to her understanding of Irene Brockovich from the beginning to the end, and to understand the details of the entire lawsuit.


    However, she didn''t look through the information, but instead thought of the research and consulting company.


    The company that Ryan advocated to establish has played an important role in the past few years. That Garcia Rodriguez may not be a qualified operator, but he is an expert in investigation and analysis. He has provided them with extremely detailed information in several acquisitions and other incidents.


    Moreover, with the help of Wilson Law Firm, he can always find loopholes in the law and will not touch the boundaries easily.


    Ryan!


    Nicole''s mind immediately changed to that handsome and determined face. This year is the happiest and happiest time in her life. Whenever she thinks about the sweetest moments with Ryan, she always feels that she used to be in vain. He always guards her silently, and always calmly replaces her. She solves any troubles and always gives her the greatest joy...


    Even some thoughts that have been there will always melt in the lingering enthusiasm of the two people getting along day and night.


    The pampering she once gave him, starting this year, has been used by him intact on her own body, and even some unreasonable demands of herself. He will do his best to achieve it.


    This is an indescribable, but very beautiful feeling that will make people immerse in it unconsciously. Nicole wants to maintain this feeling until the moment when it will only belong to her forever.


    Shook his head. Nicole dissipated all these random thoughts and focused on the materials in front of him. How can he succeed without working hard if he wants to create brilliance?


    In the apartment dormitory of the University of Southern California, Ryan is helping a few classmates pack their luggage. The New Year holiday is about to begin. Darren and the four are not going to go home. They will go to David Finch¡¯s crew to report in the afternoon and do some The most basic work, increase practical experience.


    "Ryan, are you sure you are not with us?" David asked.


    "Come on, David." Reese dragged his luggage and walked out the door. "If Ryan goes to a crew as a handyman, the entire North American entertainment media must be crazy."


    "You guys..."


    Ryan waved his hand and sent them out of the apartment building.


    Everyone has their own ideals, but many people have fallen on the road to their ideals. It is undoubtedly a kind of happiness to be able to engage in occupations that they like and are interested in.


    For example, Ryan himself, he likes the profession of actors or stars very much, but is not interested in directors. For him, he wants to control the crew and gain more power, and the production talent is a better choice.


    Hollywood implements a producer system. How many big directors can really compete with producers?


    Unlike him, Darren''s goal is to become a director, and he has no interest in literary films, science fiction films, etc., only the kind of horror films that sprinkle tomato sauce.


    Reese is interested in photography and wants to be a top photographer like Russell Carpenter.


    David has considerable talent in editing, and Chen dreams of making a movie of his own after returning to China.


    Thinking of ideals, Ryan can¡¯t help but think of Steven Soderbergh, the bald director is barely an idealist. At the age of 26, he won the Palme d¡¯Or with ¡°Sex, Lies, and Videotape¡± and became the Cannes Film Festival. After being the youngest winner, he refused many invitations for commercial films, and he is still groping forward in art films.


    "Eileen Brockovich" is not an art film, and even a biographical film is somewhat reluctant. This film completely portrays her into the image of a civilian hero in the eyes of the American public.


    So, to be more precise, this should be an inspirational commercial movie.


    It doesn''t matter if Steven Soderberg refuses to lead the tube, Ryan has already prepared a backup candidate, Ron Howard and Ridley Scott are also one of the choices.


    By the way, the outline and settings of "Peerless Tribulation" have been handed over to the editorial team for supplementation. After the New Year, we have to contact Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer. The latter is not a problem, and the former is estimated to be a little troublesome.


    And Charlize Theron, the South African Diamond has called several times recently, inviting him to dinner, as a thank you to the heroine of "Jurassic Park".


    Ryan has a headache. If such a beautiful bubbling woman invites you, it must be fake...


    The phone''s ringtone interrupted Ryan''s thoughts, but it was Natalie''s call in New York.


    "Hi, Nat."


    "Tell you good news, Ryan." Natalie over there was obviously happy. "I got the role of Anne Frank."


    "Oh, congratulations, Nat." Ryan sighed, and Natalie chose Broadway and "Anne Diary" stage plays. "Are the rehearsal and performance schedules determined?"


    "The rehearsal will begin after the New Year, and the official performance will be held in June."


    "Well, I''ll wait to see your debut."


    "Come on, Ryan, I won''t believe you casually."


    Hearing Natalie''s slight complaint on the phone, Ryan shrugged and changed the subject, "Rehearsal after the New Year, so do you still come over to audition?"


    "Of course participate, the audition will be at the end of February, there will be no conflict." Natalie did not hesitate, "This is a prequel to "Star Wars"!"


    She is really smart enough to know how to choose! Ryan sighed with emotion.


    Although Natalie has three movies released this year, she is all inconspicuous small roles in them, and did not cause much response. Obviously, she understands that a movie role with enough weight is a must.


    "Nate, you must get the role of Padm¨¦ Amidala, but there are surprises waiting for you in the future." The agreement between Ryan and George Lucas is limited to the two of them knowing.


    "Surprise?" Natalie said with a strong nasal voice, "you know, Ryan, when you grow up, all you have to do is surprise or joy!"


    The corners of Ryan''s mouth trembled, and he simply said the answer, "I have reached an agreement with George to play the role of Anakin? Skywalker as an adult!"


    "Anakin in adulthood? Skywalker?" Natalie paused for a long time before saying, "Is... Padm¨¦ Amidala''s lover?"


    Ryan, the script for the first draft of the prequel trilogy, had long been requested from Lucas, and then mailed to Natalie, which was a potential advantage.


    "Yeah, dear Nat, is this a surprise." Ryan changed his tone on purpose.


    "Come on, Ryan." Natalie''s voice seemed to be humming through her nose, "It has nothing to do with my audition."


    "Oh, God, Nat, you broke my heart again." Ryan laughed happily.


    "You have broken my heart countless times, Ryan!" Natalie must bite her teeth.


    "Well When I go to New York, I can always let you take a few bites?"


    "Are you coming to New York? What time?"


    "After the New Year."


    "Would you not release the pigeons again, Ryan?"


    "I''m going to Marvel Comics and Blue Sky Studio, don''t forget, Nat, I am the owner of those two companies."


    "Sure enough, every time I come here because of other things, and then come over and see my best friend, right?"


    "So I asked you to apply to a high school in Los Angeles."


    "I like Long Island Middle School very much."


    Unknowingly, more than half an hour passed without any intention of hanging up the phone. The long distance between New York and Los Angeles created a deep friendship between them.

 Chapter 232： That number 10

    After hanging up Natalie''s phone, Ryan returned home and just entered the villa when the phone rang again.


    "Ryan, this is Jerry. Your personal website has been open for almost a week. Do you always want to upload something?"


    As early as Christmas Eve, a personal website made by Yahoo specifically for him appeared on the Yahoo homepage, but during that time Ryan and Nicole were busy with a public relations party and threw the matter behind their heads.


    "Oh, sorry, Jerry, I forgot." Ryan said after thinking for a while, "Well, Jerry, I''ll go over and take a look."


    Back in the room, Ryan opened the notebook, entered Yahoo''s homepage, and easily found an entry called ¡®Ryan Jenkins Personal Website¡¯.


    This is a very exquisite personal webpage, which not only contains pictures of Ryan, but also his work and detailed introduction since entering Hollywood. In addition, it is a message board.


    I don¡¯t know which designer originated from Yahoo. This message board clearly smells like a blog. Not only can fans leave a message on it, but Ryan¡¯s entries will also be automatically topped.


    At this point, there is already a lot of information on the message board.


    "Is this really Ryan''s personal website?"


    "It should be, otherwise it will infringe. Besides, Ryan is Yahoo''s second largest shareholder."


    "Why has he never appeared? It seems that he can write something like an internet diary on this website."


    "Call Ryan!"


    "Ryan is very busy, I''m afraid I don''t have time to surf the Internet? I heard friends from the entertainment media mentioned that he is writing a script called "Peerless Tribulation"."


    "Peerless Tribulation? Do you know the specific content?"


    "I don''t care about these. Anyway, I will buy tickets to watch Ryan''s works. I want to ask Ryan, are you not going to write novels anymore after the Harry Potter series? And, Harry Bo When will it make it to the big screen like "Jurassic Park"?"


    "Huh. It''s been a week since this website was launched. Ryan hasn''t shown up yet? Doesn''t he never go online?"


    "Ryan come out soon..."


    After roughly scanning the information on the message board, Ryan shook his head. In the future, Jinsli''s team has one more task, of course. If he has time, he will also write something on it, upload some private pictures and so on.


    Flicking through the notebook, Ryan found a few specially processed photos with Nicole, uploaded them to the website, and then typed a few lines of text.


    "I¡¯m Ryan Jenkins. This is a personal website made by Yahoo for me. It¡¯s been too busy recently. I didn¡¯t have time to come over until today and I uploaded a few pictures. It¡¯s a group photo of me and Nicole in our daily lives. , Use this as proof!"


    "I looked through everyone''s messages and chose a few questions to answer. "Peerless Tribulation" is a science fiction film. As for the movie version of Harry Potter, it will take a while. There is also a novel thing. I will focus on movies in the near future, and the novel can only temporarily give up."


    "Just stop here, I will continue to come tomorrow."


    For three consecutive days, Ryan uploaded some photos of life. I also answered a few questions from fans, and the website instantly became hot, which by the way drove Yahoo''s traffic soaring.


    This effect is directly reflected in the stock market. Yahoo''s stock has been rising. When Ryan continued to leave messages on his personal website, the stock rose sharply, making Yahoo''s market value soar.


    "Opening a personal website for Ryan is the same as accepting his investment. It can be called the most correct decision after the establishment of Yahoo!" This is what Jerry Yang said at the most recent Yahoo board meeting.


    "Ryan Jenkins quickly recovered his popularity through the hit of "Cat and Mouse Game", and he became more attractive when he grew up. It is precisely with Ryan''s strong appeal that Yahoo has once again exerted its strength and has become the Internet The trend of hegemony, such a strong alliance, has brought about a new upsurge of the Internet!"


    -"Wall Street Journal"


    At this time, the Internet has just become popular, and many Hollywood stars have not realized the value of it. Ryan¡¯s personal website undoubtedly provides them with a good way to expand their influence and communicate directly with their fans.


    In the following year, many celebrities opened their own personal web pages, which can also be regarded as the butterfly effect brought by Ryan.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Entering Mr. Zhou''s restaurant, Ryan quickly found the location of the target, and immediately walked towards the quiet partition. Charlize Theron was sitting there, flipping through a fashion magazine.


    "Hey, Charlie." Ryan beckoned to her and sat across from him.


    "Ryan, you are finally here." Charlize Theron''s face showed a small complaint that was just right. Not only would it not be offensive, but she would feel that she was very kind.


    "I''m sorry, Charlie, I kept you waiting." Ryan explained, "I just had an appointment. It took a while."


    "Dating?" Charlize Theron asked curiously, "Can you know which lady it is? I can get the chance to date you?"


    "Miss?" Ryan was about to roll his eyes, and suddenly realized that it was neither Nicole nor Natalie sitting opposite, so he stopped quickly, "It''s a man..."


    "Men?" Charlize Theron suddenly laughed, and Ryan realized the ambiguity in the words, and quickly added, "I talked to Steven Soderberg about some movie matters."


    "Is it the "Peerless Tribulation" from the circle?" Charlize was curious at first, and then wondered, "It is said that this is a science fiction film, Mr. Soderberg''s style..."


    "It''s not that." In just over a week, Pie Kingsley has spread the script, "I asked Steven to come here to take the shot of Nicole''s new movie."


    "Oh."


    Charlize was very smart and did not continue to ask.


    Just like Ryan said, before he returned to Beverly Hills, he just met Steven Soderbergh at Jenkins Pictures, and the two sides reached an oral agreement on the issue of "Eileen Brockovich." After the completion of his script, the relevant preparations will begin.


    "The taste of Chinese food is really good." Charlize Theron sipped the modified version of drunk shrimp, "No wonder you often come here to eat."


    Whether it was a few years ago or now, the fact that Ryan often comes to eat here has long been reported by paparazzi. Coupled with the secret promotion of Mr. Zhou¡¯s restaurant, many people know that there is such a restaurant in Beverly Hills. , Can attract the patronage of stars such as Ryan.


    "The South African food you cook is equally outstanding." Ryan is not a compliment. The meal at that party really impressed him.


    "If you have time, you can go to my side to taste at any time." Charlize Theron issued a vague invitation.


    "I will definitely go if I have the opportunity." Ryan said politely.


    The two of them ate and talked about the world, sometimes they talked about anecdotes in the entertainment industry, and sometimes they talked about the beauty of Africa or Europe.


    "Then, come here today, Charlie, I will invite you back next day."


    After checking the time, Ryan was about to say goodbye. Charlize Theron''s eyes were bright and he suddenly asked, "I heard you like football very much?"


    "It''s okay." Ryan nodded.


    "I have two tickets here." Charlize took out the tickets from his handbag and put them on the table, "Los Angeles Galaxy vs. Utah Sandy, the game will start in about two hours."


    "Major League Soccer?" Although he doesn''t care much about football, Ryan also knows that the United States has its own top professional football league starting this year.


    "Hmm~"


    The corner of Charlize''s mouth showed a bright smile, showing the beauty of South African diamonds.


    "Then... okay." Ryan made ninety-nine percent of the men''s choices.


    Sitting in the stands of the Rose Bowl Stadium and looking at a group of strange players below, Ryan doubted whether the decision to come here was correct.


    "Wow, shoot! Hurry up~ Oh, my god!"


    Compared to Ryan, Charlize next to him looked very excited, and unexpectedly, she could understand football.


    "That number ten shot was too ridiculous." Ryan shook his head and lowered the brim of his hat again.


    "God, as long as the ball is scored, the Galaxy team will completely control the situation." Charlize was still there complaining.


    In a stadium with a capacity of 100,000 people, there were less than 10,000 spectators sitting on the main stand, which seemed extremely empty. As the game progressed, the football cell that was almost forgotten by Ryan gradually awakened. He began to shout with the audience, sometimes high-fiving Charlize, and occasionally angry at the referee''s sentence.


    The stands of the stadium are undoubtedly a good place to narrow the distance between each other.


    "Penalty! Penalty!"


    With the referee''s whistle, a player of the Galaxy team fell into the opponent''s penalty area. Ryan and Charlize stood up from their seats together, waving their arms and shouting loudly.


    "Yes!"


    When the referee pointed his finger to the penalty kick the two slapped their palms hard. Before they were happy, the Galaxy No. 10 had already kicked the penalty into an anti-aircraft gun.


    "Oh, God!"


    Charlize let out a mournful cry, and buried her pretty face on Ryan''s shoulder in disappointment, "That number ten is a waste!"


    "Replace him, replace him!" Ryan yelled a few times, feeling that it was not enjoyable enough, and simply threw the functional drink in his hand from the stand, "If I were the boss! I will definitely fire you! I will!"


    After that, Ryan wanted to grab the drink bottle in Charlize''s hand again, "When that guy comes again, I must hit him in the head!"


    "No." The corners of Charlize''s mouth raised, "I''ll change it this time!"


    "Hurry up, hurry up, that number ten is here, it''s him, it must be hit! An idiot who will only waste opportunities!" Ryan reminded Charlize, curling his hands into a horn, shouting vigorously, Come here on the tenth, we have a gift for you!"


    "Yes, come here quickly." Charlize yelled, holding Ryan''s arm. ()

 Chapter 233： Wont you come in for a cup of coffee?

    "Quickly, Charlie, he''s here!" Ryan pointed to the side of the court and loudly reminded Charlize.


    There is no runway at the Rose Bowl Stadium, and the stadium is not far from the stands. The Galaxy No. 10 just came to the wing and was ready to kick a free kick.


    "Charlie, it''s now!"


    The guy stood in front of the ball with his hands on his hips. Although they were still some distance away from Ryan and Charlize, the two of them were condescending and had an absolute advantage.


    "Look at me!"


    Charlize threw out the energy drink with the help of his height and arm length. The bottle traversed a wonderful arc, passed over the heads of many spectators, and flew towards the guy.


    It''s a pity that Charlize Theron''s accuracy was still a little worse, and the bottle fell directly next to No. Ten, immediately alarming this guy.


    Probably just kicked off a penalty kick and was booed by the audience. This guy was very angry. He picked up the bottle and looked at the stands behind him angrily, as if he wanted to find the culprit.


    "Hurry up and let me hide."


    After all, Charlize Theron was only twenty-one years old, playing with a positive heart, and pulled Ryan directly in front of him and hid behind him.


    "Come on, Charlie." With a beautiful woman behind him, Ryan was a little unnatural. "There are so many people in the stands, that fool will definitely not find a murderer!"


    "I''m not a murderer~" Charlize murmured behind him.


    "Look, Charlie! The great show is coming on stage!" Ryan yelled excitedly, "Hurry up!"


    "what?"


    Charlize Theron stepped on the seat, supported Ryan''s shoulder, and stuck his head out from behind, "What happened?"


    During the moment she asked, the number ten was booed by the audience again, and he couldn''t help it anymore, his lips flipped as if he was cursing something. He threw the bottle of energy drink back onto the stand.


    "Red card! Red card!"


    After watching so many ball games in his previous life, Ryan naturally knew what the result would be, waving his arms and shouting constantly.


    "Red card! Send him off!"


    Perhaps it was the relationship between Ryan shaking his body. Charlize was completely lying on his back, and at the same time made a smirking sound. It doesn''t matter if the opponent is a player of the home team they support.


    The obvious action of No. 10 naturally could not escape the eyes of the chief referee. The tall black referee rushed to the front of No. 10 with a red card, and threw him off the court without hesitation.


    "Yes!"


    Ryan turned around to celebrate with Charlize''s high-five, then the audience erupted with a loud boo, when it turned out that the tenth was off. He raised his **** to the stand here.


    "!..."


    Ryan and Charlize burst into words starting with f. The two of them did not have the usual graceful temperament, and they vented their passionate emotions.


    "What''s the name of that number ten? I want to buy the Los Angeles Galaxy and sign a long contract with him. Let him sit on the bench!" Ryan''s words were so bold, a bit of a nouveau riche.


    "No! He should be sent to Africa as a cowherd!"


    Charlize Theron suddenly woke up and said with hindsight, "He is a player of the Galaxy team! Oh, my God! We took our players off the court!"


    "Follow him. As long as we are happy!"


    Ryan said carelessly, anyway, he is not a fan of the Los Angeles Galaxy.


    The fans in the stands turned to each other and seemed to hit the Galaxy players. They quickly lost a goal, but the opponent made a mistake before the end. They were given an Oolong, which equalized the score.


    However, the game did not end there. What happened next made Ryan and Charlize, who are familiar with football, looked at each other and sighed that the rules of Major League Soccer were too weird.


    According to the rules, the winner must be divided after the game is tied. However, the way to decide the winner is neither overtime nor penalty kicks, but...35-yard single-handed shots.


    As the name suggests, the offensive player starts to dribble the ball outside the penalty area 35 yards from the goal, and must shoot the ball into the opponent''s goal within 5 seconds, and the goalkeeper can block the opponent''s scoring by attacking. This is the so-called single-handed kick. .


    Oh, God! Save these Yankees who play football! Ryan shook his head.


    No wonder the early development of major professional leagues has not been smooth, and this rule may have played a lot in it.


    "Let''s go."


    After the game, the Galaxy team left the field dejectedly. Ryan and Charlize realized that they were too excited just now, and their postures are a bit too intimate now.


    The two chose a less crowded passage and walked out of the court, discussing as they walked.


    "35-yard single-handed ball to decide the winner, this seems to be the only one in the world, Ryan?


    "I haven''t heard of it anyway." Ryan shrugged, and then said with a playful smile, "Charlie, you are the culprit for the Galaxy''s loss."


    "It seems you are in it, Ryan?" Charlize Theron smiled very sweetly, "Don''t forget, you made me throw it away."


    After a game, the relationship between the two obviously got closer.


    As the night was getting late, Ryan sent Charlize Theron back to Santa Monica and watched the South African Diamond get out of the car. When he was about to drive away, the other party spoke.


    "Don''t you come in for a cup of coffee, Ryan?"


    "This..." Ryan looked at the dark night, then looked at the hands of the watch, and shook his head vigorously, "It''s getting late, let''s forget it."


    I have to go back to catch up with the script of "Eileen Brockovich"! Also prepare for the trip to New York after the New Year! And an essay for "Vanity Fair"! Ryan easily found an excuse to persuade himself. He said that he would not admit anything. For a moment, he really wanted to go in for a cup of coffee.


    After the New Year, Ryan went to New York as planned. He first came to the Blue Sky Studio in Blaircliff Manor.


    "Our main job now is to produce virtual scenes for "Titanic". James Cameron is very anxious, and the studio has to concentrate on this project."


    After a brief circle around the studio, everyone came to a reception room, and Chris Witch introduced the current situation of the studio.


    Ryan nodded. No one knew better than him, what kind of attitude James Cameron was using for post-production. The set tyrant almost put his home in the editing room, the blade of the press conference. He was posted in a prominent position, always reminding him and his team.


    "Ryan, after "Titanic". I don''t plan to let the studio accept the business of special effects for movies anymore. Blue Sky''s advantage lies in animation. Animation feature films are our pursuit." After Pixar''s great success, Chris ? Wedge is naturally unwilling to follow.


    "Okay." Ryan nodded, "Chris, I will not interfere with your specific operations. I just want to say one thing. As long as the animated short films you make can be recognized by the Oscars, I will come up with With a budget of US$50 million. Support your animated feature film plan."


    "Then you wait and see, Ryan." Chris Witch''s mouth almost reached the base of his ears.


    This is a production budget of 50 million US dollars. It is said that Pixar''s "Toy Story 2" is no more than this. Blue Sky Studios will soon usher in the opportunity to rise.


    Leaving the blue sky studio. Ryan rushed directly to the theater on Broadway, and the rehearsal of "Anne''s Diary" had begun.


    After a brief negotiation with the staff at the door, Ryan entered the theater, which is currently not scheduled for performances. The men and women on the stage are playing against each other.


    Randomly found no one''s location. After Ryan sat down, his eyes followed the slender **** the stage. Natalie didn''t put on makeup, her delicate appearance was not so beautiful, and the clothes she wore were not tasteful. But it seems unusually true and self-evident, these are the most moving parts of her.


    Although there were a few short breaks in the crew, Ryan didn''t come forward to say hello. He just watched silently, until the rehearsal was over, when the actors had all exited, then he walked into the backstage.


    "I''m looking for Miss Natalie." Ryan''s face is the best pass.


    "Sorry, Mr. Jenkins, this is a dressing room for ladies."


    Hearing this female staff member say so, Ryan shrugged and waited by the door.


    "Hey, Natalie, I heard that you and Ryan are good friends, can you help me get an autographed photo of him." A girl''s voice came out in the locker room.


    "He should be right outside the door, you can ask for it yourself."


    Hearing Natalie''s voice, Ryan shook his head. He didn''t know when Natalie found herself.


    "Really, Natalie, this is impossible!"


    "When we were rehearsing, he was sitting under the theater, but you didn''t notice it."


    "Will it be true...?"


    Accompanied by this female voice, the locker room door suddenly opened from the inside, and the person behind asked, "What happened?"


    "Ryan..."


    "Is he really outside?"


    "It''s true!"


    Looking at the group of girls who were surrounding him, Ryan gave Natalie a grin. Is this fun?


    After meeting their signature requirements, the girls who had finished changing their clothes dispersed. Many of them swept between Ryan and Natalie with strange eyes, as if they were admiring the eight o''clock stall. The soap opera is average.


    "When did you see me?" Ryan asked after taking the handbag from Natalie .


    "Just when you sit down." Natalie put on her coat and looked at Ryan and said, "Your clothes are too thin. This is New York, not Los Angeles. Ryan, pay attention to your physique!"


    "Don''t worry, Nat, I''m not as weak as you think." Ryan said, walking towards the back door of the theater with Natalie, "The weather in New York today is very good, it''s not cold at all."


    "Where to go next?" Ryan asked again.


    "I want to go home." Natalie''s face was unnoticeably tired.


    "Well then, may I ask Miss Natalie, can I be a guest at your house?" Ryan said very seriously, "I haven''t seen Mrs. Shelly and Mr. Avner for a long time."


    ps:


    Four more today! I have oversized pimples in the middle of my head. When I open my mouth, my scalp hurts. Eating and drinking are about to become a problem. I feel depressed! ()

 Chapter 234： Surprising future

    "Ryan, have you come to New York?"


    After Mrs. Shelly opened the door, she looked at Ryan walking behind Natalie, a little surprised.


    "Mrs. Shelly, it''s been a long time since I saw you."


    Saying hello, Ryan walked into the living room and said to the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, "Hello, Mr. Avner."


    "Ryan, sit down."


    "No, Dad, Ryan and I went upstairs." Natalie pulled Ryan and went up to the second floor.


    Evner Herschel watched the two figures disappear on the stairs, frowning, Mrs. Shelly sighed slightly and said, "Don''t worry, Nat and Ryan are both well-measured people."


    "The problem is that they have grown up!" Mr. Avner was a little unhappy.


    Entering Natalie''s bedroom, it is still the same as it was a few years ago, and it seems that nothing has changed. Ryan looked around, handed over a chair, and sat in front of the desk.


    "Need something to drink?" Natalie brought two boxes of juice and motioned to Ryan.


    "You always bring what I like, don''t you, Nat?" Ryan took the juice and put it on the desk. "Think about when I first entered your room? I didn''t expect it in a blink of an eye. So many years have passed."


    "Ryan?" Natalie''s eyebrows frowned, and she looked at him up and down. "Such emotions shouldn''t be made by sixteen-year-olds?"


    "Remind you, Nat, I''m seventeen years old."


    Ryan waved his hand casually and looked at the photo frames in the room one by one. Apart from the photo of the Herschel family, it was also the photo of herself and Natalie.


    "Ryan, haven''t you considered moving out?" Natalie sat on the side of the bed and suddenly changed the subject.


    "Move out?" Ryan never considered this issue.


    "Yeah, you are seventeen years old." Natalie said naturally. "Many people moved out of their homes at the age of sixteen."


    Ryan knew this, even though the laws of most states in the United States stipulate that an adult is only eighteen years old, and a guardian is needed at sixteen. But many people who are early, will be after the age of sixteen. I just moved out of the house and tried to live the life I longed for.


    Of course, the advantages and disadvantages of this are not small.


    "I...I haven''t thought about it." Ryan could only scratch his head.


    "Why don''t you buy a manor of your own?" Natalie looked casually, "You are not short of money."


    "This... I''ll talk about it later." Ryan suddenly thought that there really should be a house of his own, "Do you have any ideas?"


    "Hmm~"


    Sitting opposite was her best friend, and Natalie didn''t mean to hide it. "In a few months, I will entrust my mother to find a suitable apartment and move out after my sixteenth birthday."


    "Why do you want to move out?" Although she knows that Natalie gets more and more sexual as she gets older. Ryan was still a little curious.


    Natalie didn''t answer, she just curled her lips and looked down the stairs through the door.


    Seeing Natalie''s expression, Ryan can roughly guess something, presumably Natalie has been in the past few years. It is not very pleasant to get along with his overly conservative father.


    "Dad saw me eating meat." Natalie said suddenly. "We had an argument."


    "Oh, God!" Ryan suddenly covered his forehead and asked tentatively, "Have he asked why you eat meat?"


    "Of course." Natalina snorted. Wrinkled his nose and said, "I told my father that someone lied to me, and then it was like this..."


    "Come on, Nat." Ryan wouldn''t believe her. If it was as Natalie said, Mr. Avner would never give himself a good face, and might even just blast out.


    "Stand up, Nat!" Ryan suddenly thought of another question.


    "Stand up?" Despite doubts, Natalie stood beside Ryan''s chair.


    "Wow~"


    Ryan stood by Natalie''s side, then gestured between the two of them, and made an excited voice, "Nat, are you over five feet and five inches?"


    "Yeah." Natalie rolled her eyes. "Is it a pleasure to be so much shorter than you?"


    "No, no, no." Ryan said without embarrassment, "you know, Nat, you can grow so tall, you should thank me well."


    "Thank you? Humph~"


    Seeing Natalie''s puzzled eyes, Ryan closed his mouth. He can''t tell her that you are already taller than your previous life, right? Hmm...just still that thin.


    The knock on the door suddenly sounded, and when Natalie opened the door, Mrs. Shelly walked in with a cookie, "I made the snack, Ryan, you are welcome."


    "Um~ it tastes great!" Ryan squeezed a piece and threw it into his mouth.


    "It suits your taste."


    When Mrs. Shelly left, she turned her eyes on the two people, and only when she found that there was nothing abnormal, she closed the door.


    "I heard you pushed down two movies in a row, Nat?" Ryan threw another cookie into his mouth.


    "To be precise, I pushed down "Lolita", and the crew of "Romeo and Juliet" didn''t look down on me." Natalie touched her neck subconsciously, and the bottom of the turtleneck was silver and white. Sun pendant.


    "That''s their loss." Ryan heard the general situation? Jinsli mentioned, "Don''t forget the audition at the end of February, but I really want to partner with you."


    "Come on, Ryan, do you think Anakin Skywalker and Padm¨¦ Amidala have room for us to play?"


    "Please don''t forget, Nat." Ryan reminded, "Box office is also a kind of seniority."


    "but¡­"


    "Stop! Nat."


    As he grows older, Ryan has faded away from that quarrel, anyway, the future achievements are enough to explain everything.


    When it was getting dark, Ryan declined Mrs. Shelly¡¯s invitation to dinner and prepared to leave and return to the hotel.


    "Are you going to the theater tomorrow?" Natalie asked as she sent Ryan out of the house.


    "There should be no time. I''m going to be surprised tomorrow." Ryan stretched out her long hair tossed by the wind. "Now is an important time for public relations. After dealing with surprises, I will leave New York, Nat. , I am waiting for you in Los Angeles."


    ...


    After last year¡¯s shareholding change, Marvel Comics was reorganized under the operation of the new Avi Allard, which not only formed five major industrial structures: film, copyright licensing, toys, the Internet, and comic publishing, but was also preparing to build an independent A film production company specializing in the production of superhero movies that belong to surprise.


    Within a year, Marvel Comics used various methods to withdraw the copyrights of most of the comic characters. Even so, the recycling work is still in full swing.


    At the same time, the traditional comics industry continued to fall into the abyss. Marvel Comics¡¯ losses last year reached a considerable amount. If it weren¡¯t for Ryan¡¯s golden signature, I¡¯m afraid banks would have come to collect debts.


    Of course, this situation is bound to be unsustainable. Turning losses into profits is the primary issue facing the top executives of Surprise.


    "Last year, we successively took back the copyrights of the most popular comic images such as X-Men, Iron Man, Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain America, Blade Warrior, etc. The film production department in Burbank is under preparation. , I think Marvel now has the conditions to put his superhero on the big screen."


    In the conference room, Avi Allard was talking, although he still lost money last year, he spent this precious time to complete the internal integration and optimization of Marvel.


    "Now we should consider which superhero to put on the big screen first." The speaker was Stan Lee. The old man was staring at the silent Ryan with a scorching gaze, "How about Spider-Man? "


    "No, Stan."


    Although sitting, Ryan''s body still stands upright toward a javelin, "I think you should make a long-term plan. Surprisingly, there are more than 5,000 cartoon images, and dozens of them are popular. We should do it. Make a filming plan for ten, twenty, or even thirty years!"


    His words made several high-level surprises look at each other. The superheroes who have always been popular on the big screen have been superheroes. The characters of surprise have not yet experienced the test of the movie market.


    "Ryan, what do you mean?" The eyes behind Stan Lee''s lenses shone out.


    "Create a unique and amazing worldview, and put most of the superheroes in the same parallel universe, such as Iron Man, Captain America and others."


    Ryan has flipped through the cartoons of this world, and the surprising parallel universe is a mess, and the world view is far from as clear as in the previous movies.


    "You mean..." Stan? Lee already realized something.


    "Yes, Stan." Ryan slowly tapped the arm of the chair. "The Avengers are one of our ultimate plans."


    Then, he reached out his hand to stop what the other party wanted to say, "However, it will take more than ten or even twenty years."


    "Ryan, we need a cardiotonic, UU reading to change the company''s current revenue status." Avi Allard said.


    "Then start with Blade Warrior."


    Relatively speaking, Ryan¡¯s approach is somewhat conservative, but such an irrelevant comic image with limited investment is very suitable as a test product for Marvel Pictures.


    "How about you writing the script yourself, Ryan?"


    "Stan, you are the one who knows them best." Ryan shook his head firmly, "You and your team are the most suitable candidates."


    Ryan is not humble, as he said, who else would be more suitable as a screenwriter than the person who created these superheroes?


    All day, Ryan stayed in amazement. He had no intention of intervening in specific operations. He only discussed future development plans with several senior executives and put forward many suggestions on film shooting, such as future superhero visits and visits. Easter eggs and so on.


    In the evening, after talking to Natalie on the phone, Ryan flew back to Los Angeles, and the Oscar nomination was announced soon. Now it is the critical moment! ()

 Chapter 236： Bad law and order

    Entering February, Ryan finally completed the script of "Eileen Brockovich". Although the overall idea still comes from the movie in the previous life, Garcia Rodriguez has collected a huge amount of information. After reading it With a lot of experience and experience, I added a lot of things of my own.


    Of course, the theme of the movie will not change, and Irene Brockovich is still a persevering civilian hero who will never give up.


    The script was in triplicate and was handed over to Nicole Kidman, Jules Stewart and Steven Soderberger respectively. The specific preparations for the filming were naturally executed by the latter two.


    After meeting with director Steven Soderbergh once, Nicole began to concentrate on studying the script. Before that, she had learned enough about Irene Brockovich through various materials and was also clear. The importance of this role not only often makes Ryan talk to her, but there are also more and more swear words in life.


    Like the words starting with ¡®f¡¯, it will ring in Ryan''s ears almost every moment, and the cold and arrogant Nicole Kidman has become a rude and contemptuous low-level woman.


    Even when the two were kissing each other, Nicole yelled out such things as ¡®f&¡¯.


    "Nicole, the film hasn''t started yet, you already have a tendency to substituting deeply." Ryan once persuaded her.


    "Don''t worry, Ryan." Nicole didn''t care. "I have enough ways to adjust myself."


    After the Oscar nomination was announced, Ryan¡¯s propaganda offensive gradually slowed down, and Nicole still maintained sufficient strength. Although relying on "Island Cry" to get the best actress is almost like a fantasy, but did There is always some hope of success.


    Moreover, after two people were nominated, they received completely different treatment in the media.


    Most mainstream media believe that Nicole Kidman''s nomination for best actress is well deserved, and it is also the result of continuous improvement in acting skills over the years. But Ryan''s nomination relied more on public relations and his own influence.


    "No one will deny Ryan Jenkins'' acting skills. He is still so good when he grows up. But with the role of Frank Abagonel, he won an Oscar nomination for best actor. It is a bit far-fetched. He is in It does show acting skills comparable to Tom Hanks, but the appearance of being too handsome is a fatal injury."


    "The academy gave Ryan a nomination for best actor at the age of seventeen. There should be other considerations. After all, from 90 to the present, Ryan Jenkins has played an extremely important role in the development of the entire Hollywood film industry. An important role. It has brought more than tens of billions of dollars in revenue to the entire film industry chain. From this perspective, this nomination for the best actor is well deserved."


    This is a column in the "New York Times", which represents the views of many media.


    Ryan didn''t care. The nomination is completed, his goal has been achieved, and those people can say whatever they want to say, anyway, he has the qualifications for a nomination.


    After being bombarded by Nicole Kidman''s swear words, Ryan went to the set to see the shooting of "Men in Black". The movie has just started, and there will be no major accidents, and it will definitely be released at the end of the year.


    In fact, except for one movie, all the works Jenkins participated in the production. Neither will be released in the summer file because there is a big ship that will whistle this summer.


    After getting confirmation from James Cameron, Ryan officially set the schedule for "Titanic". Like "Jurassic Park", this giant system will land in North America in the first week of June. Riding the wind and waves throughout the summer.


    The publicity of "Titanic" has never stopped. Ryan has set a publicity budget of up to 50 million U.S. dollars for this film, which completely pushed the cost of the film to 300 million U.S. dollars. It is still too early for the movie to be released. Maintaining a tepid trend, until more than a month before the release, a carpet-like bombardment will be launched all over the world.


    In fact, some media have never stopped questioning the film. For example, the "Observation of Titanic" column in the "New Englander" has never been canceled, claiming to watch this big production with his own eyes, like history. The big ship on board sank to the bottom of the sea.


    However, the crew still releases some news from time to time according to the original plan to create topics and maintain the necessary public attention.


    In the previous life, "Titanic" was full of ups and downs from filming to its release. Ryan had already made targeted arrangements based on the things he had heard in the previous life.


    Just when Ryan started to turn "Mission Impossible" into the "Mission Impossible" script, something else diverted his attention.


    The law and order in Los Angeles suddenly deteriorated, and the police issued successive security warnings. Several black neighborhoods and slums, as well as areas where gang activities were rampant, gradually became unstable, and there seemed to be a trend toward the Los Angeles Riot of 1992.


    Immediately afterwards, two gunmen robbed banks and cash transport vehicles one after another, causing many civilian casualties and shaking the entire California area for a while.


    After living in North America for so many years, Ryan knows that this is definitely not heaven, nor is it hell. Even if Los Angeles is chaotic, the rich area will not be affected too much.


    If there were riots in Beverly Hills, the entire United States would not be far away.


    After hearing the robbery by the two bandits, he had a strong sense of immediate sight, but he could not think of why.


    In a blink of an eye, Valentine¡¯s Day was here, Ryan had to leave these behind. He ordered two carts of bright red roses from the gardening company and planted them in the garden at home. Even if the flowers only bloom for a while, they are enough to coax them. Nicole smiled openly.


    On February 14th, Ryan gave everyone a holiday, and only him and Nicole were left in the huge villa. They could get close to them unscrupulously and spend their holiday.


    "My dear, give me the cream."


    In the spacious kitchen, Nicole was holding a spoon, constantly stirring the dark brown solution in the pot.


    "Well, it smells good." Ryan took a deep breath of the scent of the chocolate solution and stuffed the cream into Nicole''s hands. "I can eat the love chocolate made by Miss Nicole Kidman, I don''t know how many there are. Men will envy me."


    "Go get the mold, Ryan."


    Nicole''s cooking skills have long been practiced, and he knows Ryan''s taste well. After the chocolate solution in the mold has cooled down, pieces of heart-shaped chocolates with almost the same size and color are released.


    "Can you taste the taste now?" Ryan was obviously unable to wait.


    "You are always so impatient." Nicole rolled her eyes helplessly, picked up a piece of chocolate, and stuffed it into Ryan''s mouth.


    The chocolate melted in the mouth, and the sweet taste penetrated the heart, as charming as Nicole''s licking kiss, Ryan couldn''t help but put another piece in his mouth.


    "My dear, how does it taste?" Nicole stared straight at Ryan''s eyes, as if trying to impress his intoxication.


    "Want to...want to...taste it?" Ryan asked mutteringly.


    "of course."


    Nicole just nodded, she was held her face by a pair of big hands, then Ryan kissed her lips, the familiar tongue flexed her teeth, and the warm chocolate solution poured into her mouth. Here, the sweet taste seems to melt even the heart.


    This is definitely the most delicious chocolate she has ever tasted.


    "Wait, Ryan, this is the kitchen."


    Even though she was very obsessed with this wonderful taste of tongue-to-mouth connection, Nicole still remembered where she was now and pulled Ryan''s hand out of her clothes.


    "Don''t you think there is more atmosphere in the kitchen? Don''t refuse me, Nicole?"


    With two heart-shaped chocolates in his mouth, Ryan once again blocked Nicole''s small mouth and held back what she wanted to say.


    The sweet time is often fleeting. When Nicole opens her tired eyes, she only sees the kitchen in a mess, as if the third world war has happened, but she doesn¡¯t want to worry about it, and she doesn¡¯t want to think too much. Holding the person who has been with her for many years, feeling his love for himself, feeling that he is by his side, and has never left.


    After a warm Valentine''s Day, the School of Film at the University of Southern California officially opened, and Ryan started a busy life again. In addition to his career, he also had to take care of his studies.


    In addition, even though the script of "Peerless Tribulation" has not yet reached full satisfaction, Ryan hired Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer in advance to serve as the director and production manager of the film, respectively.


    Due to the successive successes of "Jedi Men" and "Brave Death Island", the young and energetic Michael Bay has a tendency to swell. When Julie Stewart contacted his agent A remuneration of 15 million U.S. dollars and 2% of the North American box office share were issued.


    Ryan refused him without hesitation. What''s a joke, James Cameron¡¯s filming of "Titanic" is only 8 million U.S. dollars, excluding the split.


    Although Michael Bay does have unique features in explosions and commercial films, this is Hollywood, waiting for the upper commercial film directors to line up from the City Hall to the Avenue of Stars.


    Just when Ryan was looking for a new director, Bo Bangbei took the initiative to lower the pay. He probably also knew that there is absolutely no harm in dealing with a good player like Ryan in commercial creation.


    As with all the films planned by Ryan in the past, not only did Twentieth Century Fox share a huge budget of hundreds of millions of dollars, he also appointed several main actors.


    Of course, if the other party''s asking price is too high or refuses, you can always look for alternative candidates, after all, this is just a commercial movie.


    However, the heroine must be changed. The lady Liv Taylor, who used him and Natalie to make self-hype, can only look for other opportunities to become famous. ()

 Chapter 235： Nominate

    After the New Year, "Small Island Cry", which had been screened before Christmas, officially landed in North America. Although there was no premiere, it relied on the strong appeal of Ryan and Nicole, as well as recent media about this film. The massive reviews still attracted a considerable number of viewers to buy tickets to watch.


    More than 28 million U.S. dollars in the first week and 22 million U.S. dollars in the next week. Two weeks after the release, the film''s profitability is not a problem.


    Although the media and film critics inevitably criticized the structure of the film similar to "Sixth Sense", they praised Nicole for her performance in it, believing that she alone supported the entire film.


    At the same time, "Cat and Mouse Game" began to drop in North America. After entering mid-January, there were only less than 1,000 theater chains left. The North American box office has steadily reached the threshold of 200 million US dollars. DreamWorks and Jenkins Pictures A bumper harvest.


    As early as last month, Harvey Weinstein began to jump up and down in the circle, wandering among the core figures of the academy, and to the fullest use of his wrists that he has exercised over the past few years.


    Ryan didn¡¯t relax either. Millions of dollars entered the relevant departments of major mainstream media through Pai Jinsli¡¯s channel. There were articles about "Cat and Mouse Game" and "Island Cry". Reports have been released, and the most important thing is naturally the high evaluation of his and Nicole''s acting skills.


    No matter when, promotion and marketing are indispensable means, people who are stingy with money at this time are most likely to say goodbye to the nomination in advance.


    Of course, the degree must be well mastered, otherwise it would be worth the loss if it had a counterproductive effect. Fortunately, in the past few years, Pai Jinsli has enough skills.


    Throughout the first ten days of January, Hollywood was a bit of a flurry of demons. The public relations companies that accepted employment ran around, one after another, actually holding public relations parties under other names. Let the media and the public be overwhelmed.


    In fact, some people¡¯s methods have approached the bottom of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and they have received some warnings secretly or overtly. If you don''t know how to converge, you will definitely lose your reputation.


    The unexpected happened at this time. In mid-January, the college announced the nominations for the 69th Academy Awards a week earlier than originally planned.


    "Ryan, congratulations, the nomination list will be announced this afternoon."


    It was Monday morning. Ryan was busy with the script of "Eileen Brockovich" and suddenly received a call from Harvey Weinstein.


    "Okay, Harvey. Don''t sell it, okay?" Ryan closed the notebook.


    ""Island Cry" received nominations for best actress and best editing, and "Cat and Mouse Game" received four nominations for best actor, best supporting actor, best photography and best soundtrack."


    Hearing the voice on the phone, Ryan let out a long sigh and devoted so much resources and energy. At last a satisfactory result was achieved.


    "Congratulations, best actor." Harvey Weinstein is equally happy, after all, this is related to a billion-dollar box office transaction.


    "Come on, Harvey, it''s just a nomination." Ryan thought for a while. Asked, "Where is your "British Patient"?"


    "Won nine nominations." The fat man must have lost his eyes.


    "It looks like I should say congratulations to you." Ryan vaguely remembered that "The English Patient" was the big winner of this Oscar.


    "Well, I will hold a celebration party tomorrow night and invite you... well. Can I join with Nicole?"


    "of course."


    Just after Ryan hung up the phone, the door was pushed open from the outside. Nicole''s tall and slender figure walked over. From the joy on her face, she knew that she had also received the news.


    "Congratulations, dear." Ryan stood up and opened his arms.


    "Need me to congratulate you, Ryan?"


    In any case, this is Nicole¡¯s first best actress nomination. She hugged her sweetheart hard, just about to separate, her lips warmed, she was blocked by someone, and she drilled with both hands skillfully and flexibly. Into the clothes.


    "Don''t do that, Ryan, I just changed my clothes."


    "My dear, don''t worry, I will put it on for you myself."


    "Ryan, this is Dior''s latest slacks..."


    "Come on, Nicole, just dropped a few buttons."


    "Your hand, it''s not there! Oh yeah, Ryan, I won''t let you go, I swear!"


    "Oh, God, Nicole, you are the miracle of the creator, don''t be so stingy..."


    "Remove your hand quickly, Ryan, otherwise I''m welcome!"


    "No way, Nicole, do you want to murder? Let go, don''t bite, or I will show you good looks!"


    "Come on then, who is afraid of whom!"


    "Really, Miss Kidman, I swear, you can''t go anywhere today."


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Walking proficiently in the party, Ryan kept chatting with those who came over to greet him. These social gatherings and communication are just trivial to him now.


    Besides, with his status and status in this circle, he doesn''t need to make friends with anyone unless he has to.


    This is a beach villa in Malibu, and it is a celebration party held by Harvey Weinstein.


    After the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the Oscar nomination, the disturbing public relations activities instantly subsided. At this time, if you do the obvious actions, you are really looking for death.


    Although he has not yet won the Golden Man, the nine Oscar nominations for "British Patient" is already a thing to celebrate.


    "Ralph, the academy is too stingy." Ryan raised his cup to Ralph Fiennes.


    "There will always be opportunities." Fiennes drank the red wine in his glass. "Congratulations, Ryan."


    At the party tonight, Ryan has received a lot of such congratulations. In any case, it is a gratifying thing to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor at the age of seventeen.


    "Ryan, do you need me to introduce some beautiful ladies to you?"


    Harvey Weinstein walked over from the crowd on the other side of the pool with a wine glass.


    "Come on, Harvey."


    As if there was a detection radar, Nicole returned to Ryan in time, tilted her head and looked at the big fat man, "Do you want Ryan to make tomorrow''s entertainment headlines? What purpose do those people approach Ryan for?"


    "Hey. Nicole, Ryan is seventeen years old." Harvey Weinstein stretched out his hands helplessly, "He has reached the age to have a girlfriend. You can''t let him stay single forever? Let''s talk about it. Those girls are fairly innocent."


    After so many years. The two sides not only have close cooperation, but they are also old friends, so naturally there is less scrupulousness when talking.


    Nicole''s right hand swayed around Ryan''s left hand. If possible, she really wanted to grab that hand, clasp his fingers, and announce to the boring big fat man opposite-I''m his girlfriend!


    however. Now it is just an extravagant hope.


    "Okay, Harvey." Ryan shook his head, took Nicole''s empty glass, and stuffed it into the passing waiter. "This kind of thing is better to go with the flow."


    Seeing Harvey Weinstein leaving, Ryan knew very well that what the big fat man said was just a habit of joking, of course. If you can use this method to get more benefits from him, I think the other party will be happy to see it.


    "Why, tempted?"


    Nicole followed Ryan''s gaze, and it wasn''t Harvey Weinstein that she saw in her eyes. It''s just a few **** tall and beautiful women by the pool.


    "What?" Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head.


    "They are models of a certain underwear brand. It seems that you are very interested, Ryan?" Nicole''s words have no meaning. "I know a few of them. Do you need me to introduce them?"


    "Ah...Forget it, I''m not interested." Ryan keenly caught another figure and reminded him, "Melke Eisner is here."


    Walt Disney is Miramax¡¯s largest shareholder. Despite the contradictions between the two parties, the apparent relationship still needs to be maintained.


    "Ryan, haven''t seen you in a few years, you''ve grown up." Michael Eisner raised his glass.


    "Hello, Mike." Ryan took a glass of juice from the waiter''s tray and also held it up. "It''s only been more than two years."


    The two faced each other at a distance of several feet, and instantly attracted the attention of many people at the party. Who in Hollywood didn''t know that after Michael Eisner took control of Disney, the biggest decision-making error came from Ryan Jenkins.


    "I heard that Pixar is making two animated feature films at the same time, and will soon fulfill the distribution contract with Paramount." Michael Eisner''s words are faintly strong, "Ryan, Pixar can continue to cooperate with Disney ."


    "Paramount''s distribution commission is 10%, how much is Disney?" Ryan didn''t mean to back down at all.


    Disney is indeed a behemoth, but it does not belong to Michael Eisner. He is a butler at best. Perhaps Ryan would be afraid of Michael Eisner two years ago, but now...


    The other party strongly advocated the acquisition of the TV station in 1995. The huge debts and complicated relationships put Disney on a heavy burden, so there is no room to take care of others.


    Michael Eisner also knows this, and he also knows that the other party has formed a strong interest alliance with Warner, Paramount, and Twentieth Century Fox. Even if they really want to do something, it can only be done according to the rules of the game.


    Some methods are not a problem for ordinary people or ordinary Hollywood stars, but if you start with a wealthy person with a net worth of more than one billion or even more than two billion , then you have to consider the consequences.


    Of course, since the other party dared to put himself together, he must try his best to return it. There will always be opportunities. One person cannot succeed forever. Until then, Tom Cruise is a portrayal of Ryan Jenkins!


    In the eyes of many people''s attention, Ryan just spoke a few words with Michael Eisner, he had already put the other side together, there was no need to tear the last face.


    Leaving the party, Ryan and Nicole drove out of Malibu in the car and quickly entered the range of North Hollywood. When they passed the Los Angeles branch of Bank of America on Laurel Valley Avenue, they found this brightly-lit silver-white rectangular building very familiar. , It seems that I have seen it in a movie in a previous life.


    "What''s the matter, dear?" Nicole asked, who was sitting next to him.


    "Nothing, I always feel that the Bank of America building is a bit familiar."


    "Don''t forget, Ryan, we''ve walked here before."


    Hearing Nicole''s words, Ryan felt that it seemed to be the reason, and gave up and continued thinking. ()

 Chapter 237： 100,000 hot

    At the end of February, Natalie came to the West Coast. On February 27th, Ryan took her to Lucasfilm to participate in the audition of Padm¨¦ Amidala.


    The Long Island girl entered the dressing room, and Ryan, led by George Lucas, visited Lucasfilm.


    Due to Lucasfilm¡¯s distance from Los Angeles, Ryan came here for the first time. After roughly turning around, he entered the prop warehouse with George Lucas, which was filled with preparations for "Star Wars Episode" Props.


    "Wow, this is r2d2." Ryan first saw the famous robot, and then spotted the little green-skinned man next to him, "This is Master Yoda."


    "George, it''s really enviable here."


    These are the props carefully prepared by Industrial Light and Magic, Ryan is very interested, "Does the Jedi Knight have laser swords?"


    "That''s it."


    George Lucas took a plastic rapier from the shelf and handed it to Ryan, "It is coated with a fluorescent layer during shooting and then processed with post-production special effects. It is the standard weapon of the Jedi Knights."


    Ryan held it in his hand and waved it a few times before immediately losing interest. The props were just props.


    Soon, Lucas''s assistant came over, and Natalie was dressed up and waiting for him as the director and producer.


    "May I?"


    When he walked to the audition room, Ryan pointed to the door and asked Lucas.


    "of course."


    George Lucas nodded, opened the door and walked in first.


    Ryan followed right in and almost laughed when she saw Natalie dressed up.


    At this time, the Long Island girl had her hair curled up high, with a wig on top, and two red dots on her snow-white face coated with thick foundation. The long robe worn on her body is indescribably complicated, and it is precisely the Japanese-style geisha makeup that has been complained by countless people in the previous life.


    This look is as ugly as it is! Ryan can only sigh with emotion.


    Sit aside. Ryan kept silent, watching Natalie cooperate with George Lucas in silence. In fact, there are some things that he doesn''t need to say, and the two sides have a tacit understanding. As long as the effect of Natalie''s audition is above the standard line, this role will belong to her 100%.


    About half an hour later, Lucas ended the audition and asked Natalie some questions about the script and the role. These are not difficult for smart girls.


    The only problem is that there is a conflict between the time when the film is turned on and the performance of "Annie Diary", but these are all minor problems. Lucas can completely postpone Amidala''s drama. Take shots of other characters first.


    "Well, Miss Natalie..."


    "George, call me Nat."


    "Well, Nat, you did a great job." George Lucas sent Ryan and Natalie out of Lucasfilm.


    Although George Lucas didn''t make it clear. In fact, there is no suspense in this role.


    "Want to go around in San Francisco?"


    After starting the car, Ryan asked Natalie in the co-pilot.


    "It''s better to go back to Los Angeles." Natalie''s brows kept frowning. After the car drove out of downtown San Francisco, she said again, "I want to go back to rest early. I will go to see Scarlett tomorrow morning."


    "Scar is in a bad mood. When I talked to her on the phone a few days ago, I kept crying. You can go and see her. After all, you are her best friend."


    Speaking of Scarlett Johansson, Ryan could only shook his head. It is difficult for outsiders to help with this kind of family dispute.


    "His father is too much!" Natalie snorted.


    "My dear, this is Hollywood. Few men can withstand the temptation." Ryan told an accepted fact.


    Some time ago, Mr. Johnson voluntarily divorced Melanie Sloan and fell into the arms of Xinhuan. Although he left most of his assets, including the North Hollywood villa, to his ex-wife, he still gave the family especially a few. The child caused great harm.


    "What about you, Ryan?" Natalie stared at him brightly. "I''ve heard people say that there are many girls in Hollywood who dream of becoming famous overnight, looking for your personal contact information everywhere."


    "Why don''t I know?"


    This is not a good topic, and Ryan simply pretended to be confused.


    The two of them returned to Los Angeles in a conversation that sometimes joked and sometimes stabs each other.


    "Nat, the law and order in Los Angeles is not very good lately. Don''t leave the hotel at night." Before Natalie got out of the car, Ryan specifically asked.


    "Hmm~" Natalie waved to him, "Ryan, don''t forget to pick me up tomorrow morning."


    "no problem."


    The law and order in Los Angeles has indeed been bad enough recently. The two gunmen robbed the cash transport truck again. They are said to have powerful automatic firepower.


    Ryan heard people say that the police in Los Angeles applied to bring automatic weapons to the streets, but the state government refused.


    These guys are crazy! Don¡¯t they know that the Constitution grants citizens the right to legally own guns and is used by people to commit suicide?


    Of course, this is purely Ryan''s extremely boring thoughts.


    Entering the last day of February, Ryan got up late because of the script code last night. When he got down to the second floor, Nicole had finished breakfast and was sitting in the living room studying the script.


    "Morning, Nicole."


    Ryan threw the jacket on the sofa next to Nicole and walked into the dining room.


    "Ryan, breakfast is in the incubator."


    Nicole put her jacket on the sofa to remind the guy who entered the restaurant.


    "I see, Nicole."


    Just listening to this muttering sound, Nicole also knew that Ryan had found breakfast, and when she turned her attention to the script, the phone''s bell rang in her coat.


    Taking out the phone, Nicole pressed the answer button. This was not the first time she answered the phone for him.


    "Ryan, where have you been?" The voice that came was strangely familiar.


    "Nate?"


    "Ah, good morning, Nicole."


    "What''s the matter, Nat?" Nicole frowned. "Ryan is having breakfast."


    "Nothing." The voice on the other side hesitated and continued, "I made an appointment with Ryan yesterday and asked him to take me to North Hollywood to visit Scarlett. I want to ask him when he will arrive at the hotel."


    Nicole thought for a while. Then he said, "Wait a moment, Ryan will leave after breakfast."


    "All right then. Goodbye, Nicole."


    The golden-red eyebrows were twisted in one place. An eyebrow knot protruded from her white and smooth forehead, and then Nicole felt a slender finger touch the center of her eyebrows and smoothed the eyebrow knot easily.


    "Did something happen, Nicole?" The person who came over was naturally Ryan.


    "Nate''s phone, urge you to pick her up at the hotel." Nicole stuffed the phone into Ryan''s hands.


    Picking up Natalie from the Four Seasons Hotel, Ryan drove the Land Rover straight to North Hollywood, and it didn''t take long to arrive near Laurel Valley. Just cross Laurel Valley Avenue, and you will be in the residential area where Scarlett Johansson''s house is located.


    "Have you contacted Scarlett?" Ryan asked Natalie while waiting for the signal to change.


    "Yeah, I can hear it from the phone. She is very sad." Natalie adjusted her seat belt and seemed a little uncomfortable. "The broken family hurts children her age the most."


    "Yeah." Ryan nodded in agreement.


    As Natalie said, if Scarlett Johansson is a few years younger or older. The impact of her parents'' divorce on her will not be as huge as afterwards.


    "Mr. Johnson is a bit too much..."


    "Well, Nat, this is someone else''s private matter, not something we should intervene."


    "I understand. Ryan." Natalie seemed to be still upset about her friends. "All men who abandon their wives and daughters should be thrown into the sea to feed fish."


    "Come on, Nat, if it''s like what you said, at least hundreds of thousands of men in the United States will be destroyed by humanity." Ryan started the car and drove into Laurel Valley Avenue.


    It was just a little over nine o''clock, and Laurel Valley was a busy commercial district, with so many vehicles coming and going, and the speed could not be raised at all.


    "Should there be traffic jams?"


    Although the probability of traffic jams in North Hollywood is unlikely, it has not happened.


    "Then only God knows."


    Natalie looked around. On the left of the car was an empty parking lot, and on the right was a white rectangular building dozens of feet away.


    "This is the branch of Bank of America in Los Angeles."


    The car in front stopped, and Ryan stepped on the brakes and stopped near the gate of the Bank of America.


    "It''s said that you owed a large debt to the bank?" Speaking of the bank, Natalie remembered what Ryan had mentioned in the letter.


    "It''s just a few hundred million dollars, and it will be paid off soon." Ryan didn''t care about the debt at all.


    "I''m still waiting for you to become a tramp after you go bankrupt." Natalie stuck out her tongue playfully.


    "Unlucky for me, are you happy, Nat?"


    Ryan was about to rub off Natalie¡¯s curly hair, when the red and blue light suddenly came into view. A patrol car of the Los Angeles police came oncoming, and from the auxiliary road outside the isolation fence, it turned to the Bank of America sign. White building.


    Is there a bank robbery? Ryan shook his head, just about to dissipate the random thoughts in his head, suddenly all the information about the two bank robbers during this period of time jumped out.


    "Nate, what time is it now?" Ryan asked with a frown.


    "Nine twenty."


    "Be specific."


    "February 28, 1997, nine to twenty!" Although a little strange, Natalie answered.


    That kind of strong sense of sight has flooded into Ryan''s heart again Although memory reminds him that something great has happened in the past, he is not a computer after all, so how can I think about it for a while? Out-of-body incident.


    Bank of America! Laurel Valley Avenue! White rectangular building! Police car... and two robbers!


    When these symbols drifted past Ryan''s eyes one by one, the title of a documentary film appeared-one hundred thousand in a hurry!


    In his previous life, he had watched this documentary on TV and on the Internet, but he was not particularly impressed. Now he finally understands why.


    "Nate..."


    "Bah! Bah..."


    The sound of automatic rifles kept coming from the Bank of America, interrupting Ryan.


    ps:


    Thank you cadres of the fairy world, 0773, Zangkong Ximu, Naz Ignir, Jiangzuo Qingfeng, Lone Soul Night Shadow and other friends for their rewards, thank you! ()

 Chapter 238： North Hollywood Robbery

    "Get off, Nat!"


    Just in the midst of the gunshots, Ryan took the lead to unfasten the seat belt for Natalie, then opened his seat belt, opened the door and jumped down, "Get off on the left!"


    The gunshots became more and more crisp, and it sounded like they had moved from a closed room to an empty square. Ryan took Natalie''s hand and hugged her from the driver''s seat.


    The sound of the automatic rifle became one piece. Ryan had no time to think about it, and quickly lay down holding Natalie. The whole person was pressed on the body of the Long Island girl. In this short moment, including his Land Rover car, The glass of more than a dozen cars around was turned into pieces one after another, and the sound of bullets breaking through the air and the sound of penetrating the steel plate of the car sounded continuously.


    "Ah~"


    Natalie screamed in horror.


    "Calm down, Nat!"


    Ryan completely wrapped Natalie with his body, and constantly scanned the surroundings, trying to find a suitable cover or a tool for running away.


    However, opposite him was an empty parking lot. Not only was the Land Rover blocked on the road, it was located almost directly opposite the door of the Bank of America, as long as it showed up...


    "God! God!" Natalie''s body couldn''t stop shaking.


    At this time, Ryan naturally remembered where the sense of sight came from. The documentary film was based on today''s events. What is or will happen now is the most serious incident of police and robber crossfire in the United States-North Hollywood. Bank robbery!


    Those are two inhumane bandits. If the information on the documentary film is true, they will shoot at any objects moving around.


    Just thought of this, three people got out of a car and ran to the opposite parking lot. They only ran less than ten feet away, and a series of dense bullets knocked them to the ground. The bright blood flowers that bloomed were exceptionally shocking.


    "Don''t look, Nat!" Ryan quickly covered Natalie''s eyes.


    Soon, several people tried to escape from the scope of the exchange of fire. Without exception, they were shot and fell to the ground.


    Seeing this, Ryan immediately dispelled the idea of ??escaping from behind the car. They were too close to the culprits, no more than fifty feet at most, and being exposed to the other''s sight was no different from sending them to death. Besides, of the surrounding cars, his Land Rover was the strongest.


    "Bah~Bah~"


    The sound of the bullet hitting the car sounded again. The two people hiding behind the car not far in front were shot in the leg and shoulder one after another, and the pungent **** smell spread over in an instant.


    Steel core armor-piercing bullet! Although not a fan of the military, Ryan heard George mention the power of this bullet. The steel plate of an ordinary car simply cannot withstand it.


    Looking at the red blood on the road and listening to the tragic howls of the people around him after being injured, Ryan''s heart was also full of fear. He was a human being in his two lives, and it was the first time he faced such a thrilling scene. It is pure lie to say not to be afraid.


    Because today was to visit a sad girl, George didn''t drive behind him as usual, so this happened.


    Ryan tried his best to maintain his composure. If he was panicked, who would protect his Natalie.


    After the initial shock. Under Ryan''s constant comfort, Natalie gradually calmed down. After all, she was not an ordinary girl. Although her body was still trembling, she stopped screaming that might attract bullets.


    "Ryan...Ryan..."


    Natalie pulled down the hand covering her eyes.


    "Calm down, Nat! I won''t let anyone hurt you!"


    Listening to the firm words and sniffing the familiar smell, Natalie suddenly felt a lot more at ease. Even from the gap of her eyes, she saw two policemen struggling in a pool of blood not far from the gap under the Land Rover. She didn''t have the previously overwhelming panic.


    The sound of the automatic rifle and the m10 pistol continued to sound, which was also mixed with the screams of the wounded. Only Ryan saw the wounded, more than ten people, many of whom were policemen.


    There was another clinking sound, Natalie clearly noticed that the Land Rover was trembling, and at the same time she felt Ryan''s body completely envelop herself, and then a dull snoring sounded in her ears.


    "No! God!"


    She wanted to yell, but found something stuck in her heart. She wanted to yell but couldn''t yell. She wanted to push away her friend who was acting as a sandbag with her hand, but her hand trembled in fear and refused to obey her command.


    At this moment, Natalie was really scared. It was a fear magnified a hundred times more than hearing the gunshot just now. It was the fear that the sky would collapse and lose all its light. It was the fear that the girl''s heart was broken because of the broken heart ...


    "Ryan!"


    The Long Island girl finally shouted, two lines of clear tears rolled down the dusty face, she took her friend''s cheek and placed it in front of her, wanting to engrave his appearance in her heart forever.


    "Nate, don''t cry, no one can hurt you."


    A curled finger wiped away her tears, and then Ryan grinned, "Something hits the head, it hurts me!"


    "Ryan!"


    Natalie pursed her lips and stared at the guy in front of her. The feeling of joy after the great sadness prompted her to open her small mouth and bit her viciously on Ryan''s face. It seemed that the only way to feel his real existence.


    "Hey, Nat, biting has to be divided into time and place!"


    Ryan touched the ground casually and found the culprit who hit him. It turned out that the rearview mirror of the Land Rover was interrupted by the armor-piercing bullet.


    "This is Nicole''s car, she will kill me!"


    If the eyes can kill, the two gangsters wrapped in body armor will definitely become hornet''s nests.


    "We have to find a way to save ourselves." Ryan held the rear-view mirror in one hand and Natalie in the other, leaning against the front wheel of the Land Rover.


    "Let go of me, Ryan, I''m not a kid anymore." Natalie didn''t want to make herself a burden.


    "Never! Nat, as long as I still breathe, I won''t let you hurt a little!" Ryan still protected Natalie with his body.


    "Ryan..."


    Natalie stopped struggling, quietly leaning on her generous chest, listening to the vigorous and powerful heartbeat, suddenly felt that the current situation was not a big deal.


    Suddenly there was the sound of the helicopter''s propeller in the sky, and Ryan looked up. The three large letters were very eye-catching, and the TV station rushed over. The swat team in Los Angeles hasn''t arrived yet.


    Ryan extended the rearview mirror outside the Land Rover, and the specially made mirror surface immediately appeared near the entrance of the Bank of America.


    I saw two gangsters driving a white Chevrolet. The other took advantage of the cover of the car and kept shooting around. Not only did they have no plan to escape, but instead shot all living creatures with automatic rifles.


    The two people were completely wrapped up and down in thick black bullet-proof material. The bloated ones looked like monsters from ancient times. The ak rifles used were not only fierce, but also equipped with large drums. There were dozens of only m10 pistols. The police were beaten to death.


    Ryan clearly saw that several policemen shot a gangster. But he couldn''t penetrate the thick bulletproof material, and instead fell in a pool of blood after the culprit strafed fiercely.


    More and more police cars roared in, and they attracted the attention of the culprits. Ryan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn''t control the lives of others, as long as he and Natalie were out of danger.


    "We will be safe, Nat."


    "Yeah!" Natalie pressed her head heavily and unconsciously hugged Ryan tightly.


    Rubbed Natalie''s head. Ryan considered how to get out. He quickly recalled the safety rules George taught him and found that hiding here was the wisest choice.


    This is not a movie, but a real firefight!


    You know, the police are fighting with the gangsters outside. Those bullets flying around are okay, but only God knows where to fly after refracting the ricochet.


    Even if she can escape this area of ??firefight with her agility, what about Natalie?


    Ryan constantly adjusted the angle of the rearview mirror and observed the situation on the scene. Several police officers armed to the teeth appeared in the rearview mirror, and the Los Angeles swat team arrived at the scene.


    When facing those police officers who only had pistols, the two gangsters had an absolute advantage. After the professional SWAT team joined the firefight, the scene was immediately reversed. Faced with the suppression of the equally powerful m4 automatic rifle, these two extremely vicious gangsters , Finally couldn''t resist it.


    The two gangsters suddenly separated, probably because they wanted to break through separately. The man outside the car killed at the intersection south of Bank of America. There were only a few patrolmen guarding. At this critical moment, his AK rifle jammed. , This guy had to pull out the m10 pistol and fired at several police officers.


    "Don''t look, Nat."


    Ryan''s hand fell in front of Natalie''s eyes, blocking her peeking in the rearview mirror.


    At the same time, in the picture reflected in the rearview mirror, the culprit pressed his chin with a pistol and pulled the trigger.


    The other gangster, relying on the Chevrolet, continued to fight back. He had lost his mind at this time. The ak rifle was aimed at the surroundings and shot randomly. Apart from killing, he probably had no other ideas.


    Finally, the swat team requisitioned an armored money transport vehicle, rushed to the Chevrolet car, and the culprit launched a close shot. An experienced SWAT quickly found the culprit¡¯s flaw, he and another policeman~www .novelhall.com~ Lie on the ground and pulled the trigger from under the car to the unprotected foot and calf of the culprit.


    Ryan looked at the flames reflected in the rear mirror and estimated that the guy would be shot at least 20 shots in the leg.


    What he didn''t know was that the guy was shot in nearly 30 shots with just his legs and feet. Perhaps the two of them shot and injured a large number of police and civilians. The swat team did not use any first aid measures for him until more than an hour. Later, he was sent to the hospital.


    Of course, this guy will definitely die.


    "We are safe, Nat!"


    Ryan stood up holding Natalie when several policemen came over. It was unfortunate to encounter such a thing, but it was a blessing to be able to retreat in such a fierce exchange of fire.


    "Ryan..." The girl''s eyes were fixed on him.


    "What''s wrong, Nat?" Ryan patted her back comfortingly.


    "It''s really nice to have you by my side!" ()

 Chapter 239： crack

    Nicole Kidman got out of the car, and under the protection of several bodyguards, he walked towards the building of the University of California School of Medicine with a serious face. The reporter paparazzi gathered around, like a flies smelling blood, hula la all. Surrounded, microphones and small tape recorders were handed to her.


    "Miss Kidman, it is said that Mr. Jenkins was involved in this firefight. How was his injury..."


    "Is his life in danger?"


    "Someone photographed Ryan driving a Land Rover with dozens of bullet holes in it. Did he get shot?"


    "The Los Angeles County Police Department was slow in this incident. What do you think..."


    "It is said that it was Miss Natalie Portman who was in the car with Ryan. What is their relationship?"


    Originally, Nicole kept her head down, her face gloomy and dripping. When she heard the name Natalie Portman, she subconsciously raised her head, her light blue eyes clearly shining with anger.


    When she saw the live broadcast from the TV and received a call from Pai Jinsli, she almost didn''t faint to the ground. Fortunately, she confirmed that Ryan was not injured, and she rushed over.


    Strictly speaking, this was an accident. No one would have imagined that those two rampant bandits would have dared to fight hundreds of policemen in a street shoot-out, and they also took their most beloved people into it, almost causing her to collapse. The situation...


    She was first worried, then angry, angry at the incompetence of the Los Angeles police, angry that Ryan actually let George''s leave without authorization, angry at the call from Natalie received in the morning.


    Yes it is! This is an accident and coincidence!


    However, without that morning call, without Natalie Portman''s request, Ryan would not have gone to North Hollywood, nor would he experience such a dangerous situation.


    She almost made her lose her love!


    "Ryan? Where is Jenkins now?"


    Entering the building, Nicole asked coldly. A police officer had already been waiting here, and then quickly came over, "Please go here. Miss Kidman."


    "Don''t worry, Miss Kidman, Mr. Jenkins and Miss Portman have been examined by the doctor and are not injured." The man explained as he walked.


    They are not fools. If these wealthy celebrities make unfavorable remarks because of this matter, the Los Angeles police are bound to be under greater pressure.


    "So much the better."


    When she walked to a separate lounge, Nicole pushed open the door directly, and saw the person sitting in the chair drinking coffee, completely letting go.


    Then, her eyes condensed into sharp arrows. Natalie Portman snuggled close to Ryan''s side. It seems that he has not recovered from the shock of the shooting.


    "Nicole!"


    Ryan naturally saw Nicole. A little guilty while happy, "Sorry, I worried you."


    The Australian girl walked up to him in a few steps, and Ryan stood up unconsciously. The next moment the body was wrapped in a warm and familiar embrace.


    "Honey, you scared me."


    Hearing these words, Ryan clearly felt that Nicole''s body was trembling, so he had to gently stroke her back and whispered in comfort, "Relax, Nicole, I am not injured, not even a piece of skin is scratched. "


    "God. You know what, Ryan, when I heard the news..."


    While talking, Nicole stroked his sturdy body with her hand, it seemed that this was the only way to go. In order to confirm that her Ryan was really not injured.


    "Cough~"


    George on the other side coughed suddenly.


    "Okay, Nicole." Ryan gave Nicole a light push, and the two separated.


    "Let''s go home, Ryan."


    Nicole picked up Ryan, and then beckoned on the other side Pie Kingsley. Just about to leave, the police officer reminded, "Miss Kidman, we suggest that it is better for Mr. Jenkins and Portman. Miss has a psychological diagnosis and treatment."


    "I will think about it."


    Jinsili had already completed the relevant procedures, and the hospital agreed that they would drive the car to the front of the building to avoid the harassment of the reporters. Ryan and others broke out of the media and quickly returned home.


    It¡¯s just that everyone didn¡¯t notice that Nicole hadn¡¯t spoken to Natalie from the hospital to Beverly Hills.


    "Nate, I have asked Pat to contact Mrs. Shelly. Your mother will come to Los Angeles soon and take you back to New York!" This is the only thing Nicole said to Natalie after returning to Beverly Hills. words.


    "Sorry, Nicole, if it weren''t for me..." Natalie is very smart and has already felt Nicole''s attitude.


    "Pat, please take Nat back to the hotel."


    "Well, goodbye, Ryan, and Nicole." Natalie didn''t say anything, she got up to say goodbye, only the dark light flickered in her brown eyes.


    "Nat, don''t think too much, the matter is over." Ryan gently rubbed her curly hair, "I will come over to see you later."


    "Ok!"


    Natalie nodded first, then gave Ryan a hard hug, "Sorry."


    "This is just an accident, stop thinking about it, okay."


    Ryan is not worried that Natalie will leave a shadow. After all, they have known each other for many years and know enough about her, "Don''t forget to call Scarlett, and let her dove this time."


    Sitting on the solo sofa, Nicole quietly watched Ryan send Natalie out of the villa. If she thought she might have thought too much before, then she clearly felt threatened now.


    Frankly speaking, these two people became close friends under their own gaze. Because of Ryan¡¯s relationship, at the beginning she and Natalie got along very happily. She also liked this clever and precocious girl very much. In Poland, she changed her senses.


    It was that time that the conflict between the opponent and the racist almost pushed Ryan into danger. Since then, she has somewhat rejected the New York girl.


    And this time, because she took Ryan to visit Scarlett, she almost became a target for robbers.


    Yes it is! In the past few years, Ryan has been protecting her, and Nicole is also convinced that if anyone dares to hurt herself, Ryan will definitely send him to hell.


    Similarly, if anyone dares to directly or indirectly hurt Ryan, then that is her Nicole Kidman''s greatest enemy!


    What''s more, in this world, besides himself, the person who knows Ryan best and has the closest relationship with him is this Jewish girl from Long Island, New York.


    Perhaps others hadn''t noticed that Natalie''s eyes looked at Ryan, similar to how she thought of him at the beginning.


    Friendship? The friendship between men and women is often the foundation of love!


    Nicole admitted that since Natalie came to Los Angeles last time, she has been repelling her, and now she doesn''t like her at all. If possible, it''s best to stop Ryan from interacting with her.


    Suddenly, Nicole regretted it. Why did she go to New York in 1989? Why do you think that Ryan has a friend of the same age, which is beneficial to his growth?


    Take precautions before they happen! Nicole remembered a sentence of Chinese that Ryan would often mutter when considering the gains and losses of his interests.


    After living together for so many years, Nicole asks herself that she absolutely occupies the most important position in Ryan''s heart, but this circle is so complicated, and there are so many temptations. The division and recombination of men and women are performed almost every moment. , She didn''t want the two to embark on this path in the future.


    At the same time, Natalie sat silently in Pie Kingsley¡¯s car, her brown eyes flickering, she noticed Nicole Kidman¡¯s rejection of herself, although she guessed it was related to this incident. , But feel that there are other factors mixed in.


    In fact, Natalie had this feeling the last time she came to Los Angeles, but after all, the other party was Ryan''s only relative, and she couldn''t say much.


    My best friend is Ryan Jenkins, not Nicole Kidman, so I will keep on contacting less in the future. Natalie quickly got an idea, anyway, in recent years, she and Nicole Kidman have not met a few times.


    When Ryan moves out in the future, she will be just a familiar stranger.


    After sending Natalie away, Ryan rubbed his forehead, walked back to the living room and sat next to Nicole.


    "Sorry, Nicole, I worried you."


    "Ryan, if there is another time, I swear, I will definitely send you to Australia!" Nicole understood that her words didn''t take much weight. "Don''t worry me, okay, dear?"


    "I promise!"


    There was only George in the living room, Ryan had no scruples, pulled Nicole''s pretty face, and kissed **** the white forehead.


    "Also, don''t go out in the last few days..."


    "Nicole..." At this point, Ryan suddenly remembered and asked, "Did you anger Nat?"


    He knew very well that Nicole was never a good-tempered person. Her tenderness and coquettishness were only shown in front of him.


    "If it weren''t for her, would you go to North Hollywood?" Nicole''s heart had always been resentful.


    "This is just an accident and coincidence." In the bottom of his heart, Ryan didn''t want to see the conflict between the two closest to him, "Don''t be angry, okay?"


    "Angry?" Nicole''s face darkened. "Why don''t you bring George?"


    "I¡­¡­"


    "George Nicole beckoned to the other side.


    "I understand, Nicole." George nodded in cooperation.


    "Is the security company that Ryan has invested in opened?" Nicole thought of another thing.


    "Blackwater Company? Yes."


    "You are too few alone. Find two more bodyguards." Nicole didn''t give Ryan a chance to speak, and made a decision directly. "In the future, you will protect Ryan personally and let the other two people follow at any time. , I remember that you have a legal license to hold a gun? I will ask Pat to apply to the relevant agency to equip you with a gun."


    "Is this a bit of a fuss?" Ryan persuaded, but returned to Nicole''s glare, "Shut up, Ryan!"


    "Okay, okay." Ryan raised his hand and reasoned with the angry woman, which is definitely the most stupid act. "George, let your former colleagues find some female bodyguards."


    This incident also gave Ryan an insight into the security of the United States. He didn''t want Nicole and Natalie to have any accidents. ()

 Chapter 240： Audition from the beginning to the end

    "Sorry, Mrs. Shelly, Mr. Avner, I didn''t take care of Nat."


    At the entrance of Los Angeles International Airport, Ryan is seeing off Natalie''s family. After this incident, before Natalie became an adult, it would be difficult for Natalie to come to the West Coast as before. He only needs an assistant to accompany him to come to the West Coast.


    "Let''s go in first." Mrs. Shelly pulled her husband down.


    "Sorry, Ryan, I didn''t expect to cause you so much trouble." Natalie tilted her head, and George and the other two bodyguards were standing not far away.


    "Come on, Nat, do we need to say something like this between us?" Ryan smiled carelessly.


    Yup! Why do we have to say such polite remarks between us? Natalie remembered what happened that day again. His body had been in front of her, without any hesitation or fear.


    "I should go." Natalie turned and walked towards the gate.


    "Good voyage, Nat!" Ryan raised his right arm and waved.


    "Ryan!"


    Natalie suddenly turned around and ran back. Just when Ryan was a little surprised, she stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly.


    "If you have time, come to see me in New York, okay, Ryan?"


    "I will."


    Ryan gave her a strong hug, then rubbed her curly hair, "Take care, Nat."


    After leaving the airport and getting into a Bentley, Ryan waved to George, "Go to Burbank."


    After speaking, he looked at the back again, and another car followed up a short distance away. Inside were two newly arrived bodyguards.


    After the Land Rover was turned into a hornet''s nest, Ryan faded his thoughts of driving, and had no opinion on Nicole''s forcibly adding bodyguards. If even the safety is not guaranteed, what else can be said.


    The North Hollywood bank robbery brought about a chain reaction, perhaps because he, a celebrity, was involved in it. The Los Angeles County Police Department is facing tremendous pressure from public opinion.


    Every detail of their actions. They were all observed under a microscope by the media, and were criticized like storms. Especially the speed of the swat team was not as fast as the reporters of the TV station. This is simply a big joke, and the state government has no face.


    Some tabloids also clamored, ¡®Because of the stupidity and slowness of the police department, America almost lost a great genius. ¡¯


    There were even hundreds of radical fans, besieging the headquarters of the Los Angeles County Police Department. Protesting their actions almost caused Ryan to be injured.


    Anyway. The Los Angeles police were involved in this firefight. Indeed, hundreds of police officers were beaten into an army by two gangsters, although none of them died. However, more than 30 innocent citizens were injured.


    In the face of huge pressure from public opinion, the public relations staff of the police found Pa? Jinsli, and Ryan also gave a promise not to comment on the incident.


    The Los Angeles police breathed a sigh of relief. This could be regarded as a huge piece of good news, and then they launched a dazzling public relations operation to restore the reputation of the police.


    Ryan vaguely remembered that some people on the Internet in the previous life claimed that the reason why the gangsters'' firepower was so fierce was because they used ak produced across the ocean. It is also commonly known as Bayi Gang.


    In fact, the automatic rifles used by the culprits, including the weapons found by the police from their residences, were all from Romania and the former Soviet Union, but what everyone did not expect was that. The police summarized part of the motives for the robbery of the two bandits in the head of a movie-"The Wire".


    They found the "Wire of Fire" videotape from the gangster''s video recorder. A series of evidence showed that the gangster had watched the classic shootout in the movie several times before the action, and it seemed that he was deliberately imitating the robber in the movie.


    Of course, this is the statement of the Los Angeles police spokesperson. As for whether they are for public relations and shirk responsibility, only God knows.


    However, Michael Man sneered at the police''s statement, thinking that the culprit''s behavior had nothing to do with his movie.


    After all, this is North America. Even if it is really related to movies, it will not cause any trouble to the entertainment industry. The mainstream media just took a shot, and even the shot-shot Al Pacino and Robert Delaunay did not make any statements.


    After arriving at Jenkins Pictures, Ryan went straight to the audition room at the southeast corner of the ground floor, where he was preparing to choose the heroine for "Peerless Tribulation".


    This was the last audition. After the script modification was completed, Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck signed actor contracts successively. Among the main actors, only the leading actress was the only one left.


    Ryan just rejected Michael Bay¡¯s suggestion about Liv Tyler some time ago. He has never been a generous person. As for whether Bombshell has any dealings with the other party, it doesn¡¯t matter to him.


    Although Bombshell complained a bit, he couldn''t say anything. This is the Hollywood system, and the power of the crew is in the hands of the producers.


    Besides, after making this movie, Ryan will not work with Bombshell in a short time. After ten years, Bombshell who has experienced major setbacks will naturally dissipate those untimely thoughts.


    "The actor must be beautiful enough while ensuring basic acting skills. We chose a vase!" This is Ryan''s rigid rule for the heroine. The heroine in the popcorn movie is not beautiful enough, which will definitely affect the box office numbers.


    Before reaching the audition room, Ryan found that Nicole was standing in front of him talking to a blonde woman, who looked familiar, as if she had seen it before.


    "Nicole, why are you here?" Ryan beckoned to her.


    "I met a friend," Nicole introduced to him, "Ryan, remember, Naomi Watts, I saw him at Anne''s house before."


    In fact, Ryan recognized who the other party was after he approached. Isn''t this the woman who went to the house for help a few years ago? Just looking at the current situation, it seems that the development of the past two years is still not smooth.


    "Hi, Ryan, it''s been a long time." The other party stretched out his right hand.


    "Hello, Miss Watts."


    "You can call me Nami."


    "Well, Nami." Ryan shook her hand. "You are..."


    "I came to the audition for "Peerless Tribulation" and happened to see Nicole." She was a little embarrassed.


    "Is that so?"


    Although the name of the other party is very familiar, he should be a star in the previous life, but Ryan looked at Nicole, this is her relationship, if Nicole did not express, he would not do anything extra.


    "Well, Nami, there is still some time before the audition, go to my office and sit for a while." Nicole took Naomi Watts to the second floor, and at the same time gave him a look.


    Ryan naturally understood what Nicole meant. After all, they were fellow Australians and classmates. It was fine to ignore them. Now they are all in Jenkins Pictures. If Nicole does not help anymore, it will definitely affect her in Australia. Reputation in the gang.


    The Australian gang in Hollywood in this life, like in the previous life, will always make the same voice at critical moments, and Nicole is one of the veritable leaders.


    Hollywood is like all social circles, there are always countless small circles in the big circle.


    Ryan''s support, Paramount''s director, and the de facto controller of Jenkins Pictures are enough to give Nicole a huge influence.


    Seeing the two women disappearing around the corner, Ryan could only shook his head. The final audition of the heroine had not officially started, and it could basically be declared over.


    Nicole''s classmate? I think that age will not be too young, but for movies, age is always not a problem. This blond woman is beautiful enough, as long as her acting skills are reasonable, she can definitely become a qualified vase.


    Having said that, after so many years of hard work in Hollywood, he was able to break into the final round of auditions. Even if his acting skills are not satisfactory, he will never be worse than his previous life, right?


    "Hi, Jerry, and Mike."


    Walking into the audition room, Ryan greeted the two people who were preparing, "I heard that you have found a suitable location?"


    "Yes, in South Dakota, the vast terrain there is very similar to the surface of an asteroid." It was Michael Bay with a long horse face.


    "We have also reached an agreement with the Kennedy Space Center to take pictures when the''Columbia'' and''Atlantis'' are launched." Jerry Bruckheimer added.


    "Well, the crew will be handed over to you two, I believe you will work together again to produce a masterpiece that is no less than "Brave to Death Island"!"


    Speaking of "Brave to Death Island", Ryan still has some regrets in his heart, why did he forget this movie?


    However, this just shows that he is still an ordinary person, will forget, have greed, and occasionally have unrealistic thoughts.


    The audition started very quickly. The actresses who came in successively, whether they were blonde, brown, or black, all have the same characteristics, that is, they are very beautiful, and one of them is even more beautiful than Nicole Kidman, but unfortunately The thing is, they are destined not to get this role.


    Don''t say unfairness, there is never fairness in this world. Behind most film crew auditions , there are all kinds of inside information, such as relationships, recommendations from acquaintances, and certain transactions, which are just normal in this circle.


    "Jerry, Mike, what''s your opinion?"


    After the five actresses who entered the final audition were all completed, Ryan stood behind the camera, looking at the footage, and asking for their opinions.


    "That... Catherine Beckinsale is very good." Michael Bay made his own suggestion.


    "I think Naomi Watts is more suitable. Her acting skills are better." Jerry Bruckheimer clearly saw something.


    In fact, both of them knew that it was about Jenkins Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox¡¯s $130 million joint investment, and the one who could really call the shots was Ryan Jenkins.


    After watching the audition, Ryan''s last worry about Nicole was that she disappeared without a trace. Her acting skills are pretty good. She hasn''t made her debut for so many years, and the reasons must be very complicated.


    "Naomi Watts is all right." Ryan made a decision, "Jerry, don''t forget to notify her as soon as possible." ()

 Chapter 241： manor

    Although this is just a vase role, it is a rare opportunity for Naomi Watts. After coming here for a few years, she has deeply realized the importance of opportunity. When she thought about it, she thought that Nicole ? Kidman''s words are just perfunctory words. It was not until after I came to Hollywood that I found out that there is no famous and representative actor who wants to get ahead. The difficulty is far beyond imagination.


    She did not hesitate to accept the film contract, and at the same time fired the current agent, invested in the arms of the kk agency, and under the recommendation of Nicole Kidman, she met many celebrities in the circle.


    At this point, she discovered that Nicole Kidman''s influence had long surpassed the category of stars, and all this was only because of another person standing behind her.


    I remember when I first met Ryan Jenkins, he was a gentle boy, but now he is one of the most powerful people in Hollywood.


    In the latest annual ranking of Hollywood power, Ryan ranked in the top ten for the first time. Although only ranked ninth, he is only seventeen years old and has a long way to go.


    After entering March, "Cat and Mouse Game" was completely downgrade in North America, approaching a box office figure of 250 million US dollars, becoming the second runner-up in the North American box office rankings second only to "** Day", and "** Day" from The script to the planning also came from Ryan.


    However, "Cat and Mouse Game" is a typical film about Americans. It is inevitably weak in the overseas box office. According to Ryan''s estimation, it is difficult for the global box office to reach 500 million US dollars.


    Even so, this is already a huge profit for DreamWorks and Jenkins Pictures. This ironclad fact proves that Ryan still has a strong box office appeal in terms of actors.


    The first time the movie was released, the Big Three of DreamWorks held a celebration party. In any case, this was the first movie to be printed with the DreamWorks logo.


    Of course, they still want to make persistent efforts. Continue to cooperate with Ryan and Jenkins Pictures, even if they are surrounded by wolves, they are confident that with Spielberg''s good relationship, they will grab a piece of fat.


    Besides, DreamWorks, Universal Pictures, and Jenkins Pictures are cooperating on "Jurassic Park 2", and will be cooperating on "Saving Private Ryan" in the future.


    Although it was not the work of Ryan Jenkins, he was willing to play the role in it, and he was definitely optimistic about the script.


    As for his vision. How many people in Hollywood would doubt now?


    The ¡®Observe Titanic¡¯ column in the New Englander. Oppose purely for the sake of opposition.


    The Big Three jointly issued an invitation. It¡¯s just that the place where the celebration party was held was a bit special. It was a luxury yacht that David Geffen had just bought on the Santa Monica Pier.


    Ryan stepped on this yacht, which was more than 350 feet long, alone, from the perspective of his experience of the filming process of "Titanic". In addition to launching the ship, it was not as luxurious as the top-floor cabin of the model ship that stood in Rosario.


    Thinking of the ship, Ryan couldn''t help sighing. So far, the crew has not found a home for the model ship. If the movie still doesn''t change after the movie is released, it will only repeat the fate of selling scraps in the previous life.


    "Hi, Ryan, why are you alone. Where''s Nicole?"


    Under the guidance of the waiter, he had just stepped onto the top of the yacht when Steven Spielberg greeted him.


    "She and Director Soderberg led the crew to the Mojave Desert, and her new movie is about to start shooting." After all, there was a copy of Nicole in the invitation, Ryan explained briefly.


    "A movie adapted from that lawsuit?" Spielberg had vaguely heard of it.


    "Yeah. Stephen." Ryan said as he walked towards the crowd with him, "It''s that Erin Brockovich biopic."


    "Hi, David!"


    Ryan shook hands with David Geffen first, then greeted Catherine Kennedy and others around him one by one, and then said, "This is a really big, very beautiful yacht."


    "Aren''t you going to order one, Ryan?" Someone praised the yacht, and seemed to make David Geffen happier than praise DreamWorks. This guy is a crazy yacht collector.


    "I have a bigger ship in Mexico. Are you interested, David?" Ryan took the juice from the waiter and laughed.


    "Come on, Ryan, can that ship go to sea?" David Geffen naturally understood which ship he was talking about.


    "Of course you can." Ryan raised his glass to him and sipped the juice, "If you don''t mind it sinking into the sea."


    "Then no one will fight with you about Jack Warner Manor." In the afterglow of the setting sun, David Fincher''s bald forehead was particularly bright.


    "David, you already have so many properties, do you still care about this manor?" Ryan pretended to be dissatisfied, "I don''t have a place for me yet."


    Ever since Natalie mentioned sex, Ryan asked Pai Jinsli to find a suitable manor. It was reasonable to live with her guardian before the age of eighteen. If she still lives with Nicole after she is eighteen, she must be It will arouse a lot of suspicion that the paparazzi is not a fool. They have always wanted to dig out Nicole''s emotional secrets, because only female close friends make good friends, not that there is no media suspecting that she is gay.


    It didn''t take long for Jinsli to have a goal, the Jack Warner Manor he mentioned.


    This is a luxurious manor that has experienced most of the history of Hollywood. It was built by Jack Warner, one of the founders of Warner Bros. The manor not only has more than 100 supporting rooms, but also a lot of artworks for sale in the mansion. There is the floor where Napoleon stood when he proposed to Josephine.


    Such a manor is expensive, and its current owner has made an offer of up to 50 million US dollars.


    Of course, such a manor has many potential customers, and Ryan and David Geffen are the buyers with the strongest desire to buy.


    "Ryan, Hearst Manor is more suitable for you in my opinion."


    "Come on, David." Ryan waved his hand. "It''s too big. How many people do I have to hire to make that manor seem a little popular?"


    "Okay." David Geffen raised his glass to him, "Ryan, you owe me a favor."


    "Oh, God, you will really look for a chance." Ryan touched the glass with him.


    "Need me to introduce you?"


    David Geffen gestured to the bustling crowd. Today, not only Hollywood figures, but also many practitioners in the media industry are here.


    "I can''t ask for it."


    Each circle has its own boundaries. David Geffen is one of the richest people in the United States. Of course, Ryan can also be regarded as one of the super rich.


    Needless to say, the characters in the film circle, even if Ryan doesn''t know him, he has heard of it. There are many senior executives in the media industry who have dealt with before.


    "Hello, Mr. Murdoch."


    This is a Jewish descent, very famous, although the reputation is not very good.


    "Oh. Ryan." Murdoch shook Ryan''s hand firmly. "You can call me Rupert."


    "Okay. Rupert, it''s nice to meet you."


    "In fact, we have been working together very happily." He was referring to Twentieth Century Fox.


    "If the New York Post and World News Weekly attacked me a few times, we would be happier."


    Ryan was joking naturally, he looked at Murdoch''s side. It was a white woman, and it seemed that the woman in the previous life had not yet appeared.


    Murdoch laughed and made a please gesture. Ryan beckoned David Geffen and walked to the fence of the yacht.


    "I seldom interfere with the operation of the following newspapers." Murdoch supported the fence and looked towards the distant sea. "There is a need for propaganda..."


    He made a gesture that you understand.


    "Yes!" Ryan raised the glass to him.


    You know, most of the most popular movies sold by Fox in the 20th century in the past few years came from cooperation with Jenkins Pictures. The two sides now have considerable common interests.


    Although he doesn''t like News Corporation''s style very much, as long as he can get enough benefits, Ryan doesn''t mind whether the cooperator is an angel or a devil.


    Rupert Murdoch naturally knows that Ryan Jenkins is not just a popular star, he represents a huge industrial chain.


    If possible. He really wants to buy the other party''s Blizzard Entertainment and Pixar Studios, even if it is a share swap and merger, but those who have this idea, all come back.


    After chatting with Murdoch about a few things in the entertainment industry, Ryan left. Facing these real giants, his current wealth is obviously insufficient. The other party values ??him more because he can bring huge benefits. .


    "Ryan."


    Not far away, I saw another giant of DreamWorks.


    "Hello, Jereffer."


    After greeting, Ryan thought that Katzenberg was looking for himself to buy the copyright of "Shrek", but he did not expect to mention a feature animation film produced by DreamWorks.


    "You should have heard of it, Ryan."


    Jeff Katzenberg took Ryan to the rest area on the second deck, and after sitting down for a drink, he said, "DreamWorks is working on the animated version of "Exodus", "Prince of Egypt." The animation department has discussed it and would like to invite you to create and sing the theme song of the movie. If possible, dub Moses?"


    "No problem." This is a good thing, and Ryan agreed without even thinking about it.


    "When can it be completed?" This guy is too anxious I haven''t read the script, I haven''t watched the movie clips. Isn''t this a bit difficult? Ryan couldn''t help spreading his hands.


    "You can create according to Exodus."


    "This one¡­¡­"


    Ryan scratched his face, so he wouldn''t tell this guy that he hadn''t read anything like the Old Testament or the Bible.


    In the West, if you openly declare that you are an atheist, then wait to be overwhelmed by criticism from public opinion.


    Of course, Ryan is not an atheist anymore.


    "Then it''s so sure. I''ll let someone contact Pat as soon as possible." Katzenberg hurriedly left.


    "He is really impatient."


    In the shadows on the other side of the deck, a woman flashed out. ()

 Chapter 242： Image consultant

    "Hi, Ryan, it''s been a long time since I saw you."


    Jennifer Meyer sat down opposite Ryan generously, "Oh, the little boy before, now has become a handsome guy."


    "Jenny, you have become more beautiful."


    The other party is Ron Meyer¡¯s daughter, and Ryan is considered familiar, "Mr. Meyer is here too? Why didn¡¯t I see it?"


    "I came here by myself." Jennifer Meyer pretended to be dissatisfied. "Don''t forget, I still have some reputation in this circle."


    This Ryan knew that Jennifer Meyer officially entered Hollywood since she turned eighteen. Relying on Ron Meyer¡¯s relationship, she became not only a celebrity, but also a famous image designer. And jewelry designer, concurrently serving as the image consultant of a number of second-tier actresses.


    Of course, being able to do this proves that she does have a few brushes.


    Like most image designers, she looked up and down Ryan and frowned unconsciously.


    "Is there any problem?" Ryan asked with a smile.


    "Ryan, your dress and taste..." Jennifer Meyer made an apologetic gesture.


    "It''s okay." Ryan motioned to her to continue.


    "The service color is too gloomy, and the whole image looks too mature, lacking the playfulness and vitality that young people should have." Jennifer Meyer criticized unceremoniously, "Ryan, you are only seventeen, not thirty-seven. !"


    "But I think it''s good." Ryan always likes to be steady in dressing up.


    "So, you need to change your thoughts and tastes." Jennifer Meyer leaned forward slightly and suggested, "You lack a savvy image consultant."


    Ryan curled her lips secretly, remembering that she had mentioned this matter a few years ago, but she didn''t expect it to be forgotten now. In the end, if she could become her own image consultant, then her reputation and worth would suddenly rise to a higher level.


    Unfortunately, I have always been concise and steady. There is no need for others to point fingers.


    But, judging from the rumors in the circle and the impression of the past life, Jennifer Meyer seems to have some means in this respect, and he can recommend it to Nicole. Anyway, in the previous life, the other party has been serving as Nicole''s jewelry designer.


    These are enough to show that the two people still have a common language.


    "Ryan, the Oscar is coming soon. You haven''t appeared on the red carpet for a few years, don''t you want to have a stunning image. Do you want to stand on that stage again?" Jennifer Meyer knows how to sell herself.


    Stunning? just forget it. Ryan doesn''t want to become an idol pie completely.


    "Jenny. I think someone needs you better than I do..."


    "Oh, God!" Jennifer Meyer showed an exaggerated and disappointed expression.


    "Listen to me well? As you said, it will be the Oscars ceremony soon, some time ago. Nicole fired her image designer, if you can satisfy her..." Ryan made something you understand gesture.


    As Ryan said, under his strong request, Nicole finally fired the image designer who only lost weight.


    "Wow, this is awesome."


    Actresses, especially beautiful actresses, are far easier to show off than male stars. Jennifer Meyer''s smiling eyes are bent, "Okay. Thank you, Ryan, I will contact Nicole."


    "Do you have her contact information?"


    "of course."


    Seeing the girl hurrying away, Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head and smiled, if he guessed correctly. Jennifer Meyer is more than just wanting to be a designer, she should want to create her own fashion brand after she has become famous.


    Having said that, Jennifer Meyer is a standard rich second-generation, but she is different from those who indulge in sensuality. She is connected, has the skills, has the ability, and has enough entrepreneurial and enterprising spirit. Presumably Nicole also likes this. People come and go, the two get together, a complete combination.


    Cooperation and resource sharing are always indispensable means to maintain a common front.


    By the way, the husband of Jennifer Meyer''s previous life is considered a typical example of a super-hanging silk man counterattacking Bai Fumei? Well, as long as that guy doesn''t stupidly run to Nicole Kidman to show love like in his previous life, he will return Peter Parker to him.


    Back on the top deck, Ryan inevitably socializes with some people. Partying is an indispensable item in American life and communication. His reputation has gradually gained. Even if he stands there, many people will still come forward to say hello.


    "I''m not going to participate in the Oscars. The crew will go to Lanai soon." After a round, Ryan and Steven Spielberg walked to the fence. "The Oracle tycoon, it is impossible to lease the island to We are too long."


    "This time the preparation time is much shorter than in "Jurassic Park 1." Ryan sighed slightly, and then asked, "Oracle? Is it Larry Ellison?"


    "It''s him." Mentioning the name, Spielberg seemed to have a headache. "His sons and daughters are very interested in filming. One of the conditions for renting a private island is to allow them to visit in the crew."


    "Oh?"


    Ryan suddenly became interested. Could it be that the fabled Hollywood head is about to appear?


    "Ryan, before leaving Los Angeles, I will ask someone to give you the script of the final version of "Saving Private Ryan"." Spielberg changed the subject, "This movie is a bit troublesome, you have to be prepared to endure hardships." , After the summer, including you and Tommy, oh, Tommy has agreed to play Captain Miller, you major actors need simple military training."


    "no problem."


    This is a necessary project for Hollywood to shoot war films, and Ryan has no opinion.


    Although there are not many roles that belong to Ryan in the movie, it is the actor''s most basic attitude to be serious and responsible for each role played. Let alone Nicole Kidman, in order to play Erin Boo well. Rockovich, she even changed her style of life in a short time.


    Such social parties often reach some intentions inadvertently, such as David Finch''s concession on Jack Warner Manor, for example, Ryan agreed to the invitation of the theme song of "Prince of Egypt".


    The theme song is easy to say, the previous life is classic enough, the impression is deep enough, and the theme melody is still remembered, just copy it out and add it completely.


    As for Jack Warner Manor, without the biggest competitor, Pai Kingsley quickly negotiated terms with the real estate agent.


    This old-fashioned manor is located on Angelo Avenue in Beverly Hills, a little far from the residences of Ryan and Nicole. The grassy courtyard is surrounded by dense evergreen trees, combined with tall walls and modern The security equipment will definitely break the peeping paparazzi''s head.


    "The manor is about 10 acres. The main building covers an area of ??nearly 14,000 square feet. In addition to nearly a hundred supporting rooms, there are two large art collection rooms on the ground floor, and a private cinema on the top floor."


    Walking on the quiet stone road of the manor, Jinsli was introducing some basic information to Ryan, "In addition to the swimming pool, garden, and tennis court, there is also a helicopter landing pad..."


    After roughly turning around, this manor seemed a bit secluded because it had no owner for a long time. Whether it was greening or scale, it was very much in line with his wishes.


    Maybe after refurbishing, you can move over from there? Ryan couldn''t stop thinking about it.


    The main building is a four-story beige-white villa, and there is a small square paved with marble slabs in front of the main entrance, among which the mermaid fountain is particularly eye-catching.


    "Pat, these artworks are all processed."


    The last two came to the underground collection room. Ryan had no interest in antiques and art. Besides, these things left by the former owner were worth less than one million dollars. There will be treasures?


    "What about it?" Jinsli pointed to a wooden board inlaid in the wall. "This is Napoleon''s floor. The wooden wall it inlaid was built by Chippendale."


    "Stay well."


    Ryan doesn''t even know who Chippendale is, but Jinsli mentioned it so solemnly that she wanted to be a master of art.


    Although it is generally satisfactory, re-decoration is essential, and all the equipment of the furniture theater is replaced with new ones. All of these will take time. Moreover, Nicole does not necessarily agree to move here.


    The Oscar is coming soon, and despite all kinds of predictions, Ryan understands that he and Nicole are destined to be passing by.


    Since the party, Jennifer Meyer quickly got on the line with Nicole. Perhaps they were of the same taste. A few days later, they rushed to the small city of Sinclair in the Mojave Desert. According to Nicole¡¯s phone call, they both After talking for half an afternoon, the other party became her temporary image consultant.


    There is no doubt that Jennifer Meyer''s first task is to design the styling for Nicole''s Oscar red carpet.


    Just a few days before the award ceremony, the two women rushed back to Los Angeles. They also arrived at the same time, as well as Nicole''s clothing sponsored dresses from Dior, and rented Tiffany jewelry.


    "The main colors of this year''s fashion are white and gray. We have to go the other way, using bright colors and retro style to show Nicole''s unique charm."


    In the large living room of the villa, Jennifer Meyer was spreading the basics of fashion for Ryan, but he was swollen and lethargic.


    "Come on, Jenny, you should say these to Nicole." Ryan finally found a chance to express his opinion while the other party was thirsty and drinking water.


    "Nicole is trying on a dress."


    As she was talking, Nicole turned out from the dressing room on the other side, and Ryan''s eyes suddenly lit up.


    In her previous life, Nicole Kidman was a famous red carpet queen. Although there were occasional failures, most of the time, her dress was synonymous with fashion and taste.


    "Oh, God, Nicole, you will definitely overwhelm all female stars tomorrow night!" ()

 Chapter 243： Yanguan audience

    Beginning on the 19th of this month, people have started camping in the preset stands at the entrance of the Los Angeles Temple Theater. For those fanatical star fans, this is really a good opportunity to feast their eyes, not only can they witness their worship. Big stars can also appreciate the latest popular hairstyles and fashions in the world.


    For this reason, even if they endure a few days of hard work, they are willing to do so.


    By the day of March 24, the number of people stationed here exceeded one thousand, and they were quietly waiting for the beginning of the red carpet, waiting to appreciate the charming demeanor of Hollywood stars.


    These people can be called the craziest audiences, but some people are no less crazy than them, that is, the reporters of the major media entertainment editions.


    In particular, the TV station, as the TV broadcaster of this year''s Oscars awards ceremony, has already set up a dense number of cameras around early on, and a helicopter and a number of broadcast vehicles are on demand at any time.


    As the sun gradually goes down, some people step onto the red carpet one after another, and the cameras in the hands of reporters have become the busiest tool. They not only record the beautiful and moving moments on the red carpet, but they also won''t let the celebrities make a fool of themselves.


    The weather is getting late and the stars appearing are getting bigger and bigger. Many reporters have discovered a strange thing.


    Needless to say, male celebrities are mostly based on steady dark dresses, but female celebrities are the same in color matching, gray and white, and lacklustre.


    "Gray! White! Gray! White! God, another white."


    "Los Angeles Times" John Bennet let go of the camera and couldn''t help complaining, "These two colors are indeed popular in the fashion industry this year, but can''t they change it?"


    "Fortunately, no one hits the shirt, otherwise it will be lively." The reporter from the "Washington Post" next to him took the conversation, "I guess some of the fashion industry will say tomorrow."


    "Yeah, those designers should all be thrown into the sea." Someone chuckles.


    "Except for Gwyneth Paltrow who can attract attention, the other ones are simply nothing bright."


    "Come on, that''s because she is carrying a handsome guy in her hand..."


    Suddenly, there was a tidal noise from the front end of the red carpet. The flash light that turned on afterwards made people unable to look directly at them. Several reporters in fashion running around received information from their companions from their earplugs and were busy debugging the camera on the tripod.


    "What happened?" John Benner asked a reporter from Vogue magazine.


    "Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman are here, Nicole..."


    Before he could finish his words, a man and a woman walked out of the reporter''s encirclement arm in arm. The man was tall and handsome, and his usual teal body-shaping dress was so distinctive when worn on his body.


    However, the most amazing thing is the woman.


    After experiencing the baptism of gray and white. The red carpet ushered in the most beautiful colors tonight. Nicole Kidman wore Dior''s golden hand-embroidered improved cheongsam. The exquisite and slender figure is set off, and the intellectual temperament is highlighted in the cold and gorgeous, which has overwhelmed the limelight of all previous female stars.


    "God, she is so beautiful." John Bennet heard someone murmur.


    "Wow. This is definitely the best dress tonight, gold! It will definitely become the best fashion color for the next season!" The reporter from Vogue spoke.


    "Gwyneth Paltrow wasn''t enough to see in front of Nicole Kidman. She carried a handsome guy, but Nicole Kidman carried a more handsome handsome guy as a foil!" He also praised Ge before. The reporter of Winness Paltrow did not hesitate to change her opinion.


    "Yeah, the two of them really match each other, they are just a natural pair..."


    "Damn it, this pair is not a couple."


    "Oh, yes. They are really born brothers and sisters!"


    After the couple on the red carpet greeted the fans, they walked straight to the interview area where they were. The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked. The intimacy in their expressions could even be seen by fools.


    "After so many years, their relationship is still so good." Because of the former boss Mick Taylor. John Bennet has some connections with these two people.


    "Don''t you think they are a bit too good?" The speaker was a paparazzi with curiosity and gossip on his face, "Ryan Jenkins has never had a girlfriend, although Nicole Kidman has passed on these years Several scandals, but which one is true? The two of them are still living together. Don''t you think there is any hidden secret in it?"


    "If there is no evidence, publishing this kind of news casually will cause great trouble." The entertainment reporter is not a fool, and the young man Nicole Kidman is holding is not an ordinary star.


    "Joy, our task is to dig out every one of them. The public has the right to know." The Disney TV guy patted the paparazzi on the shoulder.


    As the pair of men and women approached, the interview area immediately fell into chaos. The reporters and paparazzi scrambled to surround them, and the microphones and small tape recorders were stuffed in front of them as if they were free of money.


    "Ryan, this is the first time you nominate the best actor, do you predict that you will win the prize?"


    "You and Miss Kidman both nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress, how do you feel?"


    "Nicole is so beautiful tonight, what do you think of her dress?"


    Now that I¡¯m standing here, I always have to answer a few questions. Ryan looked at Nicole who was surrounded by another group of reporters, and then said, ¡°Of course I¡¯m very happy to be nominated, but I don¡¯t think I have the possibility of winning. Whether it''s Woody Harrison or Jeffrey Rush, they are more qualified to win this little golden man."


    "Then when do you plan to win the best actor?"


    "You''ll know when the time comes." How could Ryan leave words easily.


    "I heard that you took over a role in Spielberg''s next movie. Is it convenient to reveal it?"


    "Now the crew is still in the confidential stage, do you want me to breach the contract?"


    Ryan spread his hands and saw other stars coming over not far away. He ignored the reporter''s questions and pulled up Nicole Kidman on the other side and walked into the Shrine Grand Theater.


    "If there is a little golden man in the best dress, tonight must be yours!" Ryan said while walking. Such words are most useful to women.


    It''s just that Nicole hasn''t had time to be happy, Ryan took another sentence, "Dior''s hand-embroidered improved cheongsam, matched with Australian native red hair, really won the audience!"


    "Ryan~"


    Nicole''s forehead couldn''t stop shaking. This guy does this every time. Before people can float in the clouds for a while, he will pull you back to the ground.


    "Don''t even think about entering my room at night." She squeezed out a word in a low voice.


    "It''s not fair, Nicole." Ryan immediately corrected his attitude. "You promised me that you will wear this cheongsam..."


    "Hey, Ryan..." The following words interrupted his complaint. Ryan turned around and shook hands with the blonde woman. "It''s been a long time, Ms. Sicconi!"


    "Yeah, you have been away from the music industry for a long time."


    After greeting Nicole, Madonna Sicconi simply walked with the two, "After the Grammy in 1994, you disappeared from the stage."


    "People''s energy is limited, you know, the movie is unique in my heart." Ryan naturally wouldn''t take her words seriously, just talking about the reasons.


    "That''s really a loss of pop music."


    "Oh, yes." Ryan seemed to just remember, "I heard that there is your song tonight? Argentina, don''t cry for me?"


    "No, no." Madonna shook her head as she walked. "Another song, "You Must Love Me"."


    Although "Madame Veron" is not considered a success as a movie, it has made considerable achievements in music. This is also known as Madonna''s most outstanding film performance.


    When entering the theater, the seats of the two sides were separated by a certain distance and soon separated, but before leaving, Madonna said in a deep sense, "If we have time, we can discuss the future development trend of pop music."


    "I think such a serious subject needs to be discussed with senior people in the pop music industry." Ryan declined politely.


    Are you kidding me, who in Hollywood doesn''t know that Madonna is cold, male and female, and even men like Rodman don''t let it go. If male stars have so-called confidantes, then she is in the harem.


    "She is very interested in you, Ryan." Ni squeezed her arm tightly.


    "Unfortunately I am not interested in her."


    Ryan whispered and greeted the acquaintances he met.


    The two people''s seats are in the front row, and they are just connected. This time, Oscar and Ryan have participated in the same several times, and several crews are related to him.


    After a few words of greetings with the crews of "Mr. Sweetheart" and "Mr. Sweetheart", Ryan sat right next to Nicole, using them as the boundary. One side is the crew of "Cat and Mouse Game" and the other On one side is the crew of "Small Island".


    "Hi, Tommy, and Rita."


    Ryan stretched out his hand to the Tom Hanks behindWe are going to work together again, but why is it always me who is saved? "


    "Ryan, you can write a script to let a young man save an old guy." Tom Hanks joked.


    "There will be a chance. I heard Stephen say that after the summer he will find some officers to train us, Tommy, if you are tired and dizzy, I will definitely carry you."


    "You don''t have that kind of opportunity, Ryan."


    "Well, you two, it''s about to start soon." The two women pulled their male partners back.


    The band played the Oscar''s prelude music, the theater fell silent for a moment, and Billy Christo appeared on the stage dressed up as a serious gentleman.


    It¡¯s a pity that everyone¡¯s first reaction to him is to laugh. As the comments said, as long as they see Billy Christo¡¯s face, the Oscars will increase their ratings by two.


    With this guy''s ridicule, the 69th Academy Awards ceremony officially kicked off! ()

 Chapter 243： Ignored issues

    "I am very happy to be back on the Oscar stage. Actually, I am an actor, but they have been ignoring me. The Little Golden people have never considered me. Take a look and see what roles are nominated for. They They are all the kings of destruction, there are people who accept challenges, people who abuse others, people who are injured, oh, there is a century of liars, in short, there is no normal person, yes! Genius is also not a normal person!"


    Hearing Billy Christo''s ridicule, Ryan waved his hand vigorously in protest.


    After the routine joke is over, it is Billy Christo''s repertoire, which uses songs to skewer and interpret the nominated movies.


    Listening to the name of the movie he reported, Ryan suddenly discovered an interesting phenomenon. In this Oscar nomination, only "Mr. Sweetheart" was the only major film company that had enough investment. If it weren''t for Surprise, it would take back the copyright of Spider-Man. , This movie became part of the deal, and the seven major film companies will be wiped out.


    Oscar prefers ** The movie is not a secret, but it is extremely rare like this one.


    In addition, Ryan was keenly aware that the camera in the theater would scan Nicole from time to time, and it was obvious that her dress was stunning enough.


    "You are so beautiful tonight, I really want to go back and hide you and appreciate it slowly."


    The award presented on the stage had nothing to do with the two of them. Ryan couldn''t help but leaned into Nicole''s ear and began to whisper.


    "Then can I sue you for illegal detention?" Nicole smiled brilliantly, "How is my vision?"


    "Your vision is really good." Ryan knew he was an idiot in fashion, and basically wouldn''t comment on Nicole''s clothes. "Of course, Jenny''s vision is equally good."


    "I am considering signing a formal contract with Jenny."


    Nicole¡¯s look tonight came from the co-planning of her and Jennifer Meyer, and she pointed to the hollow gold earrings, ¡°These jewelry is from her suggestion. It is full of oriental style.¡±


    Although she is not interested in Eastern culture, as long as she can become more box office, Nicole won''t care about that much.


    "The best visual effect is..."


    on the stage. Sandra Bullock opened the envelope, ""** Day". Congratulations!"


    This is the first Ryan-related award that Jenkins has won tonight, and the first few nominations have been missed.


    As for Sandra Bullock, despite a phone call from Ryan that year, the heroine of "Life and Death" was replaced by Cate Blanchett, but this woman still became popular with other movies, and this year she went to the Oscar stage for awards. Opportunity.


    However, this Oscar is destined not to belong to Ryan. Not belonging to Jenkins Pictures, the next nominations were frustrated, especially for the young Cuban Gerding, whose best supporting actor was even lost to Edward Norton. Ryan couldn''t help but sigh a little bit about the impermanence of the world.


    In the previous life, the video of the award-winning testimonials of the young Cuban Gudding was widely circulated on the Internet. That long series of "I Love You" can be regarded as one of the classic Oscar award-winning testimonials. I did not expect it to disappear in this life.


    Seeing the unbearable disappointment of the other party, Ryan shrugged indifferently. I don''t have any friendship with him.


    Compared to Ryan¡¯s side, Miramax is a great harvest. "The English Patient" has won the Best Supporting Actress, Best Photography, Best Editing, Best Film Score, and Best Supporting Actress. Seven awards including music, best art director, and best costume design.


    The last four awards have not yet been awarded, and Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein are already smiling very brightly.


    "I didn''t expect Harvey to win tonight." Nicole sighed in a low voice.


    "This is normal, isn''t it?" Ryan shook his head.


    The major awards before the Oscar. "British Patient" also swept across, and it was normal for this to happen at the Oscars. First, this movie is really good, and second, Harvey Weinstein''s public relations methods are getting more and more sophisticated.


    Ryan remembers very clearly that in his previous life, it was from this Oscar that Harvey Weinstein continued to create the Oscar tragedy, which made him the title of the **** of public relations.


    Although he used some methods within the rules, there was always a way to influence the judges, especially the core critics.


    After Celine Dion sang "Because You Loved Me", Nicholas Cage stepped onto the stage and will award the best actress.


    "The female characters in movies often attract the eyes of the audience. Their every move will always show a different style. They are the most beautiful scenery in the movie, and they are an indispensable part of the movie, and even some movies. , We can¡¯t find the male protagonist anymore, because only the female protagonist exists, such as "Small Island Cry"."


    "Well, the joke ends here, let''s see which actors have won the best actress nomination, "The English Patient" Christine Thomas, "Secrets and Lies" Brenda Bryce, "Little "Island Cry" Nicole Kidman, "Ice Blood Storm" Francis Mike Domon..."


    Nicole''s hand was tightly clasped on Ryan''s arm. Even though she knew that she had little hope of getting it, there was always some illusion in her heart.


    "Relax, Nicole." Ryan patted her hand gently.


    "The best actress is..."


    Nicholas Cage opened the envelope in his hand and made an unusually exaggerated expression. Ryan''s heart squatted. Could it be that the academy really...


    "Wow, congratulations!" Nicholas Cage said loudly amid the boos in the audience, "Francis Mike Domon in "Ice Blood Storm"!"


    When the applause sounded, Nicole took a deep breath. Although the beautiful face kept a bright smile, Ryan still noticed her regret and loss.


    "My dear, next year we still have a chance." Ryan comforted.


    Thinking of the movie being filmed, Nicole¡¯s loss is scattered a lot. She is still young and has a lot of time and opportunities. As long as Ryan is by her side, what are the temporary gains and losses?


    Yes it is! It has been so long since she has been in Hollywood. She has not won any golden figure. It is a lie to say no regrets. Now money and love are available, the only thing missing is honor.


    Not to mention the messy awards, Nicole, like Ryan, has no eyes on the Golden Globes and Directors¡¯ Guild Awards.


    However, she has confidence in her acting skills and the same confidence in the lovers around her. After so many years, who else can understand his talents better than herself?


    Seeing Susan Sarandon stepping onto the stage, Ryan did not feel any nervousness. The reason is simple. He is the one with the least chance of winning among the five nominees, unless all the judges of the academy are Harvey Weinstein. Brainwashed, otherwise this award will definitely miss him.


    It¡¯s not about acting, not about the content of the movie, or even about seniority. It¡¯s only about age. The Oscar has never been the winner of the best actor under the age of twenty.


    Ryan vaguely remembered that Adrian Brody, the Jewish big nose, seemed to be the youngest Oscar actor ever, and he was over twenty-five years old when he won the prize.


    According to his guess, in the eyes of the core group of old men in the college, young people have time and opportunities, but they need qualifications and training.


    "Let''s see who is nominated for best actor."


    Just as Ryan was thinking about it, Susan Sarandon was already reading, "Jeffrey Rush "Shining Style", Billy Bob Thornton "Switchblade", Ryan? Jenkins "Cat and Mouse Game", Woody Harrison "Sex Book Tycoon"..."


    The people around Ryan are very relaxed, as long as they are not fools, they will understand that it is absolutely impossible for the academy to award this award to its crew.


    "Don''t be disappointed, dear, we still have a chance next year." Nicole winked her eyes playfully and said comforting words in advance.


    "God, the academy will definitely give this little golden man to me, so that you can take back what you just said."


    Ryan was still complaining in a low voice, and Susan Sarandon on the stage read the final result, "Jeffrey Rush "Shining Style"!"


    "Papa" clapped his palms, Ryan stood up with the crowd, with an open eyebrow, there was no half of a loss.


    Looking at Captain Barbossa who gave an award speech on stage, Ryan suddenly found that he had overlooked one thing, Jeffrey Rush was Australian!


    This year''s best actor will be given to an Australian actor. According to the ethics of the film school, will next year''s best actress be given to an Australian actor? Even though Nicole applied for American citizenship as early as 1987, she could not avoid this question.


    This is the case for Oscars. In a relatively fair environment, there are various factors that will affect the award. Some of them are not problems and often become fatal.


    Fortunately, Nicole is from Australia, not France or Italy. UU reading www. Uukanshu.com Ryan can only sigh with emotion. Nicole in this life is completely different from her previous life. In her previous life, she entered Hollywood as a vase, and it took a lot of time just to transform.


    Now Nicole is not only known for her acting skills and beauty, but there are also several high-grossing movies behind her ¡ª the box office is also a kind of qualification ¡ª as long as next year¡¯s opponent is not too strong, there is still hope, the key is to watch "Eileen "Brookevich" and public relations skills.


    Next, the last two statuettes were awarded on the stage. As expected, "British Patient" swept the best director and best picture, Miramax and Harvey Weinstein won a big win.


    "Congratulations, Harvey."


    After the award ceremony, Ryan deliberately found the big fat man, "Epic victory."


    "It''s a pity, Ryan, your age..."


    "It''s okay, Harvey." Ryan shrugged and whispered, "We will have a bigger victory next year."


    "Well, gentlemen, here is carnival time, target the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel!" ()

 Chapter 245： Xiao Li

    ps:


    I''ve been a little confused recently, and the chapter numbers in the last two chapters have been heavy. .


    After several years of operation, the "Vanity Fair" party after the Oscars has become the most attractive place. Most of the award-winning crews, even if they convene their own celebration party, will show up at the "Vanity Fair" party. There are also celebrities and celebrities who have not won the Oscar admission ticket. The red carpet of the party is often where they compete.


    Compared with the Oscars ceremony, the people who appeared at the party were more chaotic and complicated. There were not only singers, movie stars, but also supermodels and people in the sports world. Looking at the past with Ryan''s eyes, there are many future superstars.


    Such as this one in front of you.


    "Hello, Mr. DiCaprio, I apologize to you for Nicole''s recklessness."


    Looking at the faint red wine mark on the other party''s dress, Ryan raised the glass apologetically. As for whether there was anything else in it, only he knew.


    "It''s okay, Ryan, is this the first time we met?"


    Leonardo DiCaprio exchanged a glass of red wine and sipped gently.


    "Nicole, are you okay?" Ryan first glanced at Nicole, the golden dress was not stained, and then turned his head again, "Leon, can I call you that?"


    In fact, Ryan wanted to call him Xiao Li.


    "Of course." Leonardo admired, "I watched the awards ceremony tonight, Miss Kidman is simply beautiful."


    "Thank you!" Nicole smiled back. In any case, she accidentally bumped the other person, and she said to Ryan again, "I''m going to say hello to other people."


    After Nicole left, Ryan frowned and looked at the female partner beside Leonardo, with long blond legs. It is Xiao Li''s favorite type. Unfortunately, his mind and vision are so bad that he can''t even see his intention to talk to Xiao Li alone.


    "Lina. Go and get me a glass of juice." Leonardo is much smarter than her.


    The blonde model finally realized something and smiled apologetically at Ryan. Go away happily.


    "Leon, are you interested in cooperating?"


    After the two walked onto an empty terrace, Ryan asked very directly.


    "Me?" Leonardo looked a little surprised.


    Of course he wouldn''t know that there are two roles that belonged to him, which had been snatched away by Ryan in advance.


    "Yeah, don''t you know if you have watched "Mission Impossible"?"


    Since this guy appeared before and after his eyes, Ryan had his idea. The other party is young, handsome, and dashing. The only pity is that he lacks a bit of coldness and perseverance, but these are not big problems in front of the makeup artist. I''ve been looking for Ethan Hunt''s candidate for so long, so he is fine.


    Besides, he is Ryan''s favorite actor in his previous life, and it is inevitable to apologize for taking two of his roles, even if only a little.


    "About spies and agents?"


    "Hmm~"


    He has already written the script at odds and ends. Ryan briefly talked about the main content, and said, "If you are interested, you can ask your agent to contact Ms. Stewart of Jenkins Pictures."


    Leonardo DiCaprio won the actor of the Berlin Film Festival with "Romeo and Juliet" last year. It is difficult to say whether he will take this role. Ryan just regarded him as the prime candidate. If the other party refuses, then just hold a large-scale audition.


    Taking a photo of Leonardo''s arm, Ryan left the terrace, and before he had walked far, he saw Harvey Weinstein walking towards him, apparently making a special trip to find himself.


    "Ryan, when will the trilogy start to be produced?" He seemed a little impatient.


    "Harvey, I have asked Pat to contact the Wachowski brothers. Keanu Reeves has agreed to play the leading role. When the lead time is available, we will start preparations right away."


    As usual, Harvey Weinstein just came to Ryan, and Nicole Kidman walked back appropriately.


    "Nicole''s new film has just started shooting." The big fat man murmured.


    "Harvey, patience is a virtue." Nicole deliberately ran on.


    "Okay, Harvey." Ryan said as he took Nicole''s arm and turned to leave, "I have entrusted Paramount''s Asian branch to go to Hong Kong to invite people."


    The era of Hollywood kung fu movies is about to begin. Although it is only a few years away, there are many movies that are linked to kung fu on sale.


    Of course, kung fu movies, like Baige Wu, only rise briefly, and then fall in aesthetic fatigue, just like other foreign cultures and elements, after being absorbed and compatible by Hollywood, they become part of this circle.


    There was still class the next day. Ryan couldn''t stay here too late. After greeted the people around him, he bid farewell to the owner.


    "Ryan, without you and Nicole, the party will lose its color a lot." Tina Brown''s words are as usual, and how credible they are, it is questionable.


    "No, no, Tina." Ryan glanced at the handsome men and women in the banquet hall. "They are there, enough to attract attention."


    After the party is over, I don¡¯t know how many couples of men and women are having fun, and they will walk into the hotel suites or go home together to achieve a dewy marriage.


    In some ways, this can be regarded as one of the most attractive elements of a Vanity Fair party.


    "I heard that you and James Cameron''s big ship is coming?" Tina Brown asked timely.


    Now who doesn¡¯t know, Ryan has set out a promotional and marketing budget of up to 50 million US dollars for "Titanic". This is a big piece of fat, and the major media are striving for this big business.


    "Relax, Tina, our cooperation has always been very pleasant."


    "Vanity Fair" and "Los Angeles Times" are definitely the leaders in supporting Ryan''s media, and they also have enough influence.


    In fact, after James Cameron and his team have been busy working overtime for five months, the post-production of "Titanic" has entered the final stage, and the official propaganda battle is about to begin.


    This movie should not be lost. Not to mention the total investment of 300 million US dollars, this project alone is planned and promoted by Ryan. If there is a mistake, then after "Jurassic Park", the blessing is in I am afraid that most of the halo on his body will dissipate, and the other bad effects will definitely make him vomit blood for three liters.


    But, will this movie fail? Everything will be revealed this summer!


    You know, Ryan pulled three powerful thugs to join this project, and invested so much money, the goal is not only the previous life of 1.8 billion US dollars at the box office.


    "My dear, you are always so impatient."


    "That''s because you are so beautiful and touching tonight."


    As soon as he got home, Ryan couldn''t wait to take Nicole into the room, pressing on the piano, his slender hands kept walking up and down through the golden silk cheongsam.


    "You mean I''m usually not beautiful enough, not attractive enough?" Nicole was panting, and didn''t forget to pick him out.


    "No, you have a different kind of temperament tonight." Ryan is not a fool, knowing what to say at this time, "You used to be beautiful, you are more beautiful now."


    "I... uh~ uh~"


    In the sweet deep kiss, Nicole felt a hand poking in from the opening of the cheongsam beside her leg, and couldn''t help but gently bit the tongue that was spinning around her teeth. Then she had a chance to speak, "Ryan, I haven''t taken a shower yet."


    "Take a bath?" Ryan laughed, moving bigger and wilder, "Don''t forget, Nicole, you promised me, wearing a dress..."


    He gently held the white and tender ear beads and whispered a few words in Nicole''s ear. The tall and slender Miss Kidman seemed to resist, and she leaned down in front of the black grand piano with excitement, her slender fingers just falling on On the keyboard, a messy and high-pitched piano sonata sounded in the room.


    "Ryan, my dress!"


    "Come on, dear, would you wear this dress a second time?"


    For female celebrities, after she stepped off the stage, a dress announced her birthday, especially Nicole, who is at the forefront of fashion, will definitely become a red carpet queen if she wears the same dress twice. The laughingstock of fashion and gossip magazines.


    "Then I want to be on top!" Some of Nicole''s personality will always show up at this moment.


    "No problem, Miss Nicole Kidman, as long as you can turn over!"


    Between men and women, it was a war. Over the years, Ryan had managed to get the dominant power in his hands, how could he easily concede defeat.


    When Nicole squinted her watery eyes and lay down on the piano, and was too lazy to move and think about it, Ryan kissed her cheeks radiating red from the white and tender, and hugged her into the bathroom, tenderly Removed the Dior dress that was destined to be scrapped.


    Lying in the foamy bathtub, Ryan carefully cleaned every inch of Nicole''s skin. At this moment, he was simply the best lover, at least in Nicole''s eyes.


    Of course, neither in the past nor in this life Nicole Kidman is not a simple woman.


    "Ryan, I am not in a safe period today."


    Hearing Nicole''s words, Ryan was startled for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, and printed a kiss on her forehead, "It''s okay, Nicole."


    Ryan believed that Nicole would not embarrass himself, just as he believed in himself.


    The Oscars ceremony is over and it is announced that Hollywood has entered a new cycle again. The winners have soared in value, fame and fortune, and the lost are gearing up. They are ready to come again next year. The media will seize the last opportunity to publish all kinds of comments. Dry the last drop of Oscar oil.


    As in the past, few people sang praises for the winners, and the media was full of sympathy and regret for those who lost, especially some people who seemed to be eligible for the award, such as Nicole Kidman!


    Yes it is! In fact, the public relations work on the 70th Oscar has now kicked off. Ryan has already shed a large sum of dollars. The media that he has been with will keep this topic at an appropriate level in the near future. Remind the numerous judges that you have overlooked a person this year, so should she be compensated next year? ()

 Chapter 246： Follow-up PR

    "Compared with surprises, every Oscar award brings more but regrets. The biggest regret of this year comes from Miss Nicole Kidman. Prejudice, ignoring her wonderful performance in "Small Island", with her past achievements and performance in the movie, she is completely worthy of a statuette."


    "Following the loss of three best supporting actresses, in the first best actress nomination, Nicole Kidman returned empty-handed again. This American actor from Australia may not be considered talented. But with extraordinary efforts, from the single mother in "The Sixth Sense" to the ghost mother now, her acting skills are getting more and more exquisite. I hope she will provide us with more brilliant roles in the future, and the college will use what it deserves. Honor to affirm her efforts."


    The money that Ryan sprinkled and the public relations made by Jinsli played a considerable role. The media generally praised Nicole, and the sympathy club unknowingly raised the senses of Nicole in the circle.


    "Since the birth of Hollywood, there has always been discrimination against beauty! The entertainment industry has been constantly looking for handsome men and beautiful girls, attracting audiences to enter the theater, contributing to the box office of the films they starred in, and thus obtaining a lot of benefits. However, these have contributed to the film industry It is extremely difficult for people who have made outstanding contributions to be recognized by honors. Professionals generally believe that they have and only have figure and face. Unfortunately, Nicole Kidman has become a victim of this view, although in the eyes of the audience, She has created impressive and even classic characters, but her overly glamorous appearance has become an obstacle to the highest Oscar podium. I have to say that this is a kind of helplessness."


    This is a review article in the "Los Angeles Times", which reflects a very common problem in the entertainment circle from the side. The next publication of "Vanity Fair" magazine is even more full of articles. If its screenwriting department is the judge, then Nicole Kidman will definitely become the best actress of this year.


    "Nicole Kidman, with fiery blonde hair, blue eyes and slender legs, is not only stunning, but also a very challenging woman who is good at presenting herself. The camera always maintains an elegant and noble temperament, but She has not only beauty, but also mature and delicate acting skills."


    "The heroine in "Small Island Cry" is definitely Nicole Kidman''s most proven performance so far. Whether it is breath-holding lines or hysterical episodes, she fully demonstrates the heroine''s perseverance, madness and Firm conviction and self-repression. Her former coldness and ease of retraction has also become a fascinating highlight in the film."


    "However, even with such an outstanding performance, she still cannot bring her an Oscar figurine. We look back at the Oscars that have entered the 1990s. Beautiful women have won almost nothing in performance awards. Isn''t it true that beautiful actresses? No acting?"


    Although there are a lot of commentary articles in the media, they just stop at the end. The public relations companies hired by Pai Jinsili are all good at them. They understand where the academy''s scale and bottom line are, and where they can easily be touched.


    As for Ryan himself, most of the media didn''t mention it much. Even if there are a few reports, it is considered that he can be nominated as a victory. As several well-known film critics have said, his age is a big issue.


    Although the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is trying to reform and rejuvenate, it can''t award the best actor to a young person who is less than twenty years old, right?


    Moreover. From the moment Nicole cared about him from the bottom of his heart, Ryan vowed that she must take the Australian girl to the throne in advance, if possible, more than once!


    He wants her to be the representative of Hollywood women! When someone later mentioned an actress who was born in the 60s and 70s. The first thing I think of is no longer Julia Robts, but Nicole Kidman!


    This may be the best compensation for Nicole.


    Thinking of Nicole, Ryan couldn¡¯t help scratching his head. When he faced her, his fairly good self-control almost returned to zero. This seventeen-year-old body obviously had some excess hormones, and couldn¡¯t stand any of her stimulation at all. Before going back to the Mojave Desert, Tian Nicole took the medicine in front of him, but if things go on like this, if there is an accident, it will really be a headache.


    Maybe some measures should be taken, even if it feels a little bit close, but it is not always safe.


    If there is a death incident, with Nicole''s character and mind, she will definitely force herself into the church.


    Shaking his head, Ryan closed Vanity Fair and threw it on the pile of newspapers just now. Darren Bousman and others who were sitting on the same coffee table looked at him like a monster.


    "What happened?" Ryan looked at them first and then at himself, it seemed normal.


    "Ryan, your way of thinking is really different, and you can be distracted by looking at a magazine." Reese seemed to be a little emotional, "Is this the way of thinking of genius?"


    The others showed curious eyes in cooperation.


    "Come on, you guys." Ryan drank a cup of coffee, cleaned up the newspapers and magazines, and looked at his watch again, "It''s almost time, I should go."


    "Oh, Ryan, you always come in a hurry and walk in a hurry."


    "If you can have Ryan''s current grades, you will definitely be busier than him."


    "Definitely not, David, I promise, I will only shoot my favorite horror movies."


    "Then you can make the experimental feature film for next year first..."


    Regardless of these people''s disputes, Ryan left the film school, but thinking of the experimental feature films in their mouths, it was a bit of a headache.


    The course of the Film School of the University of Southern California is not as simple as it seems. It is impossible to get enough credits without putting in a certain amount of energy. Although the short film assignment once a few months can be longer than five minutes, it takes quite a bit. Long shooting time.


    There are too many things Ryan needs to take care of, and even feel that the original choice was a little impulsive, after all, with the memory in his mind, it is enough to eat and wait to die.


    Of course, this is only an occasional idea. Most of the time, he is still a positive and hardworking person.


    Sure enough, it is a good idea to temporarily throw away the music and novels. Ryan is very thankful for his choice.


    After all, people¡¯s energy is limited. A few years ago, he hardly needed time to deal with his studies. Except for the so-called artistic creation, he did not have so many industries to operate under his name. Even if there are some messy things, they are basically all under pressure. On Nicole''s body.


    But now it''s different. He has grown up. He is not just a star, but he must make a choice if he wants to reach a higher level in film.


    There is only one Barbra Streisand, or it was born decades ago. After entering the new century, the degree of professionalism in all walks of life in Hollywood is getting higher and higher. It is enough to have an occasional interest in crossovers. His interest and the main battlefield It''s all movies.


    In fact, life in USC is also good. For example, the students here have adapted to his existence a long time ago, and they can wander around freely in the school without worrying about people watching. A few slips of paper will be handed over, rarely entangled.


    Among the classmates, Ryan¡¯s social circle is not very large, only limited to Darren Bosman. I think the Brotherhood even sent him an invitation to join the club. Later, after listening to Ryan¡¯s terms, there was nothing to follow.


    Ryan once talked about Nicole, but as he got older and his character showed no trace of loneliness, Nicole could no longer take any interest in these school life. Instead, he wrote to Natalie, Long Island Girls often communicate with Ryan about their school life.


    After entering Long Island High School, Natalie''s social network has expanded a lot, and she has a few ordinary friends, including the descendants of the wealthy Upper East Side and orphans from Brooklyn, just like this public high school. Similarly, people of all colors are readily available.


    However, these did not cause any obstacles to the communication between the two. Even if Ryan was far away in Australia, they still maintained the frequency of communication once a week and two telephone calls per week, as if these had penetrated into the two over time. In the soul.


    Unlike those who were better in childhood and gradually alienated after they grow up, time brings them a kind of precipitation.


    After leaving the gate of the University of Southern California, the first thing to greet Ryan was the paparazzi''s flashing light, but he had been used to this treatment for a long time, and before those people approached, under the protection of two bodyguards, he hurried into George a few steps. In the car.


    More bodyguards are still good! Looking at the paparazzi eating in front of the bodyguards, Ryan smiled at the corners of his mouth. These professionally trained bodyguards may not be George''s opponents, but they are better at dealing with reporters and paparazzi.


    "Come back home!"


    In Ryan''s words the car drove straight to Beverly Hills.


    When he returned home, Lisa had already prepared the gown for the evening, and Ryan was about to attend the premiere. The film was "Changing Face" jointly produced by Jenkins Pictures and Paramount Pictures.


    The film has already been produced, but missed last year¡¯s Christmas file. Ryan simply chose the April schedule. Although it is the traditional film off-season, there is no strong competitor, relying on himself, Nicholas Cage and John Te. Lavolta''s appeal is enough to pull the box office.


    There is also the white pigeon? Wu, even for Hollywood, he is still a newcomer, but after "Broken Arrow", he has his own influence. His pigeon, church and violent aesthetics are now very marketable.


    After all, Ryan is a member of the high-rise buildings in Hollywood. I know that among the several Chinese directors here, Ang Lee and Baige Wu are the most favored.


    Needless to say, the former is completely American-style education and has already been Westernized in ideology, while the former possesses extremely high commercial value in the short term, so Hollywood will naturally value people who can bring benefits. ()

 Chapter 247： Face change

    Even though the relationship with Baige Wu is not very good, or even familiar, Ang Lee accepted the invitation and came to the Shendian Theater to participate in the premiere of "Change Face", even though he has always wanted to work hard since he came to Hollywood. Fusion into this circle, but still received a certain degree of rejection, even if the directed "Sense and Emotion" won seven Oscar nominations, put him on the position of Hollywood''s first-line director, it did not bring fundamental changes.


    Although he received an American education, his appearance determined his Chinese identity. Like other foreigners working hard in Hollywood, the region is to some extent the standard for demarcating circles.


    For example, the current Australian gang, no matter how many internal conflicts, can always speak the same voice at critical moments to fight for the interests of their compatriots.


    Just as Li Ang thought, this place is full of faces of Chinese descent, even if some people had conflicts with Baige Wu before, they still came to join in at this time.


    While chatting with others, he was looking for his goal. In fact, it was very easy to find the other person. The place where the young man stood would definitely become the center of the entire venue.


    Soon, Ang Lee discovered his goal. Ryan Jenkins was chatting with the executives of several other film companies. This young actor was the screenwriter, investor, and chief producer of this film, absolutely He is the person with the most power in the crew of "Changing Face".


    Strictly speaking, the two are almost parallel. Their literary filming style is very different from the other''s completely commercial style, plus the relationship between skin color and blood, if there are no surprises. There is not much intersection at all.


    But, he came here tonight. Just want to communicate with each other personally.


    A few years ago, when he returned to Taiwan to film "Diet Men and Women", he read Wang Dulu''s "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". At that time, he only liked it and didn''t have much feeling. But when he was filming "Sense and Emotion", it suddenly appeared. Why can''t this novel be made into the martial arts version of "Sense and Emotion"?


    After shooting. While Ang Lee conceived "Ice Storm", he asked his friend and partner Xu Ligong to negotiate for the copyright of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Who would have thought that as early as the early 1990s, the copyright was called Pi? Jin Siri''s woman bought and left.


    Who is Pie Kingsley? I''m afraid few people in Hollywood don''t know, after all, she is Ryan Jenkins'' agent and agent!


    Ang Li couldn''t understand. What does the other party do when acquiring the copyright of Chinese novels? However, in the past few years, all the films adapted after Ryan Jenkins acquired those novels have been sold, which has attracted a lot of attention. It is said that when the other party now buys the film adaptation rights of other works, the difficulty has become infinitely greater. The original author will often open a share contract at sky-high prices, and other film companies that are closely watching him will also wait for opportunities.


    Could it be said that the adaptation of this novel into a movie can be a big hit? This was his thinking at the time.


    Since he couldn''t buy the right to adapt, he had to start the idea of ??other works, but after a few years, he was not tempted. Can''t help but turn his gaze back to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".


    At this time, he received Baige Wu''s invitation, and he simply took this opportunity to have a talk with the other party. Besides, he also found a suitable referrer.


    After entering the Shrine Grand Theater, Ryan has been busy socializing. Many people took the initiative to say hello. Among them, many of them were of Chinese descent.


    For example, the actor whose surname is Zhou, Nicholas Cage''s appearance in this movie clearly bears his original traces.


    After the people around them dispersed, Kate Winslet brought a middle-aged Chinese who came over. Because of the filming of "Titanic", the two had some friendship.


    "Hi, Kate, you look so beautiful."


    When Ryan said so, Kate Winslet rolled her eyes and said, "Come on, Ryan, everyone knows, I''m not the type you admire."


    After speaking, she laughed first and introduced, "This is Ann Lee..."


    "I know."


    Ryan stretched out his hand and shook his hand, changing to a more accustomed name, "Mr. Li has unique insights in the field of art films, and "Sense and Emotion" is a rare masterpiece."


    "Overrated." Ang Lee shook his hand, "In front of Mr. Jenkins, who dares to say that his movie is a masterpiece."


    "Then you talk, I''ll say hello to other people."


    Kate Winslet is very smart. After making the referral, she walked away and stated with a practical attitude that there was nothing to do with what she was going to talk about next with Ang Lee.


    Ang Lee had heard of Ryan''s character before he came, and after the greeting, he cut directly into the subject, "I heard that Mr. Wang Dulu''s "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is in the hands of Mr. Jenkins?"


    "Yes." Seeing Ang Lee and Winslet walking over, Ryan guessed his intentions, "Mr. Lee wants to adapt it into a movie?"


    "Yes." Li Ang nodded. He has long been accustomed to this American style of direct communication. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a martial arts novel. In my opinion, it is more suitable for... Well, I There is no meaning of disrespect..."


    "I understand." Ryan interrupted him. "It''s hard for the West to understand Eastern martial arts culture, right?"


    Ryan couldn''t help laughing after seeing the other person nodding his head. In a way, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is nothing more than a western film dressed in a martial arts coat.


    "Can I transfer its adaptation rights? Mr. Wang Dulu is not a problem." Li An asked tentatively.


    "Transfer?" Ryan shook his head, and when Li Ang was disappointed, he continued, "If Mr. Li is the director, Jenkins Pictures can invest, I will...cough..."


    Ryan hurriedly concealed and coughed. What could be more absurd than a man who grew up completely in Western culture to adapt a martial arts script from the East. ?


    "This..." Ang Lee said hesitantly, "I''m shooting "Ice Storm". The date of this movie may be delayed."


    "These are small problems." Ryan looked at the watch, not far from the beginning of the movie, "I will let someone contact you for specific matters."


    He only needs to reach an intention, and the meticulous contract will naturally be negotiated by Jenkins Pictures and the brokerage team.


    Seeing the young man who disappeared in the hall while talking and laughing with Kate Winslet, Ang Lee was a little surprised. He didn''t expect things to go surprisingly smoothly. The attitude of the other party was like what Winslet said, sunny and gentle. , There is no arrogant appearance of other Hollywood film company executives to Chinese Americans.


    Leaning with his chin on the seat, Ryan was also a little surprised. In the original plan, he wanted to wait a few years before looking for Li Ang, but he didn''t expect that he would take the initiative to find him so early.


    This is good, it can always save a lot of trouble, and let people talk slowly, except for funds, he does not intend to intervene too much.


    "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can be regarded as a very special movie with a distinctive brand. In some respects, the absence of the director, Ang Lee, is likely to turn into a disaster.


    If a Western director or a director who has grown up in an oriental background, such as Old Monster Xu or Wu Baige, is allowed to direct this movie, it is simply unimaginable.


    Ang Lee, a director with a yellow skin and a white heart, is the best choice.


    How could Ryan let go of things like this that can make money and get honors?


    With the opera-like soundtrack sounded, "Changing Face" officially kicked off on the big screen.


    The plot of this movie is very, very simple, but it can be regarded as the perfect combination of Wu style and Hollywood production. It is full of windbreakers and sunglasses, churches and doves, as well as endless bullets, and almost A poetic romantic duel.


    Keith Troy, played by Nicholas Cage, and Detective Sean Arthur, played by John Travolta, are rivals. In a duel, Kesto missed the shot and killed Theon¡¯s five-year-old son. Liangzi.


    In another arrest operation, Case fell into a coma and became a vegetable, and his brother went to jail. Sean accidentally knew that they had planted a biochemical bomb in Los Angeles. However, Case¡¯s brother refused to confess, and the police had to resort to dangerous moves. ¡ª¡ª Let the plastic surgeon put on Case''s face for Sean, and change his body shape, voice, etc., so that Sean sneaked into the prison set in the tone of Case¡¯s brother.


    Unfortunately, the unconscious Case woke up unexpectedly. He forced the plastic surgeon to put on Sean¡¯s face, and killed the people who knew the secret operation. The criminal turned into an upright policeman, not only for interrogation. The younger brother was released from prison on the grounds of secret witnesses, backed by huge government resources.


    Sean escaped from prison by chance. The first thing after he got out of prison was to find a way to get justice. He asked Case¡¯s girlfriend for help as Case and tried to prove to his wife that he was Sean. An alternative duel between good and evil The scene at the end is definitely a white pigeon? Wu Congying''s masterpiece, the battlefield of justice and evil is chosen in the church where he is best at, almost an opera-like hymn In the sound, the white doves flew frequently, and the lasing bullets were not only full of violent beauty, but also poetic romance.


    Even with "Broken Arrow" first, this kind of picture can still bring great excitement to the audience. As for the plot and logic, it is all clouds.


    The superb acting skills of John Travolta and Nicolas Cage also played a considerable role in it. Hollywood¡¯s sophisticated production and big investment scenes made the white pigeon Wu Ru fish in water. This is definitely his pinnacle. Made.


    Looking at the dropped subtitles, Ryan knew very well that after this movie, Baige Wu will become the best commercial director in Hollywood, but it will be difficult for him to become mainstream. If he continues to succeed, it¡¯s okay to say that if he fails, it¡¯s fundamentally impossible. There is no chance of turning over.


    He is different from Ang Lee. It is difficult for Hollywood to understand Ang Lee''s thinking of combining East and West, but there has never been a lack of violent and commercial film directors here. (To be continued.

 Chapter 248： Attract attention

    "This is a movie with an extremely strong personal style. Although Ryan Jenkins provided ideas and creativity, "Changing Face" is a movie belonging to Wu. This director from the East repackages violence with beautiful pictures and romantic confrontations. , Has created a commercial film that is quite brilliant."


    "Absurd setting, outdated fighting scenes and flying pigeons, "Changing Face" is just a refutation under the Hollywood system. Wu''s style is too clear and fixed. If it weren''t for the excellent performance of the two actors, this movie Maybe it will become Ryan Jenkins'' Waterloo."


    "Wu, an Oriental director who wants to conquer Hollywood with a flock of pigeons and 100 million bullets, will he succeed?"


    After "Changing Face" was released in North America, the media and film critics received mixed reviews, but in any case, Bai Dove? Wu¡¯s style still has a very good market in North America, especially among young audiences, in a short period of time. In addition, Ryan, The box office appeal of Nicholas Cage and John Travolta still achieved good results in the traditional off-season of the film in April.


    US$33 million in the first week and US$26 million in the next week. Such box office results are enough to make "Changing Face" top the North American weekly box office leaderboard for two consecutive weeks.


    Ryan just paid attention to it for a while, and put it aside. Paramount Pictures will naturally operate at full capacity for the remaining publicity and marketing and overseas screenings.


    Frankly speaking, Ryan is still a little worried. In general, making money is not a big problem for this movie, but it seems a bit difficult to recover the cost in the North American market.


    After instructing George to pay attention to the box office of the movie at any time, Ryan''s attention shifted to "Titanic", even if all the movies this year lose money, as long as the ship is out. His aura will only increase but not decrease.


    The huge concert hall was empty. Except for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra on the stage, there were only less than ten people in the first few rows.


    "let''s start."


    After Ryan nodded, James Horner on the side of the stage made a gesture to the conductor on the stage. With the swing of the baton, the melodious music gradually sounded.


    The Norwegian female singer Sisel stood in front of the microphone and hummed a natural female voice, as soft and unruly as the wind of an empty valley. It is full of agility, the sadness of parting and the feelings of a world away can easily remind people of the short but fierce love between Jack and Ruth.


    "perfect!"


    When the orthodox orchestral music combined with the rich Scottish bagpipe sound came to an end, Ryan had to sigh with emotion. It is indeed James Horner!


    Even though Ryan copied "My Heart Is Eternal", James Horner uses the melody of this song as the core of the soundtrack. Combining the orchestral music with the Scottish bagpipes, he created a distinctive and euphemistic tune.


    Especially, he is like the previous life. Sissel was invited from Norway to enhance the appeal of the soundtrack with her elegant and reserved silent humming, and use an emotional melody to tell a moving love legend. It is neither conventional nor conventional in the performance of tragic theater. It¡¯s miserable and miserable; it¡¯s also different from the deliberately unconventional and anti-trend style of some films, but cleverly laid out the musical themes of joy, sadness and rebirth, and used it to tell people what is the eternal thing in human emotions.


    Ryan asks himself that he has excellent musical literacy, as well as his previous life experience, and believes in these soundtracks. It is still bound to be like a movie, and it will become an eternal classic.


    "Excellent!"


    Although there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the truck driver and James Horner. But work is work, and the soundtrack made by the other party is really good.


    "James, perfect soundtrack."


    When James Horner walked over, Ryan gave him a thumbs up.


    "That''s because there is "My Heart Eternal" as the keynote." James Horner humbled a sentence and looked at James Cameron, "Director Cameron. Does what I do satisfies you."


    "Well, I admit, no one can do this job better than you." James Cameron obviously does not want to substitute personal conflicts into the work.


    Entering the end of April, as the soundtrack has been recognized by Ryan and James Cameron, the production of "Titanic" has completely entered the final stage. In addition to the dubbing of individual segments and the addition of the soundtrack letters, special effects synthesis shots are included. , Has been declared completed.


    Among them, James Cameron''s complaints are indispensable.


    "Ryan, give me another 20 million dollars, no, only 10 million dollars, I can make this movie more perfect!"


    Out of the Los Angeles Concert Hall, James Cameron is still mentioning investment matters to Ryan.


    "Then can you guarantee that the movie will be released at the scheduled time?" After having known each other for so many years, Ryan knows the nature of this guy. "If I gave you twenty million dollars, Jim, it won''t be long before you will say '' If you give me another 30 million dollars, the Titanic will definitely be an immortal masterpiece''."


    James Cameron shrugged helplessly. He also knew that his request was a bit too much. Frankly speaking, he has been in Hollywood for so many years and he has shot a lot of movies, but Xiang Ryan is a generous partner who suits him , Really not much.


    To be precise, there should be only this one.


    "Ryan, don''t forget, there are a few more clips that you need to dub."


    Before the separation, James Cameron specifically asked the data, "By the way, don''t forget to let Yahoo continue to build momentum on the Internet."


    Since 1997, the Internet has flourished, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the rise of this new type of media is inevitable. Especially after Ryan opened his personal website, the surge in traffic has made Hollywood fully aware of the Internet. Great potential value for the entertainment industry.


    The crew of "Titanic" will naturally not ignore this propaganda position. In addition, Ryan has a strong Internet thug such as Yahoo, which has a natural advantage in this regard.


    In fact, since the Oscars ceremony, the promotion and marketing of "Titanic" has entered a sprint stage. The major media are full of news and reports about it, and the media under the parent company of Twentieth Century Fox. In full effort to build momentum for the film.


    Of course, the media under News Corporation still maintains its usual style. Divided into pros and cons, chatting in the air, keeping enough topical interest.


    Yahoo has long placed links to several websites about the Titanic shipwreck that Ryan asked to establish on the eye-catching position of the homepage, and even published a special analysis column before and after the sinking of the Titanic.


    In this column, the detailed specifications and logbook of the Titanic were announced for the first time, as well as a list of some of the victims, as well as some photos and newspaper content from that year. At the same time, I kept reminding me with large-scale articles that a movie about this shipwreck will be released soon.


    After returning home, Ryan logged on to his personal website. Since the establishment of this website, although he will check it out from time to time, it is mostly time. They are all taken care of by specialized personnel from the agent team. After a long period of operation, this place can be regarded as a concentrated place for Ryan fans.


    Several stills of "Titanic" are hanging prominently on the website. Most of them are the dog-blood interactive posters between him and Kate Winslet. The guys on the agent team are very good at picking. These stills are all close-ups of Ryan''s front or side, not to mention the movie and acting skills. A handsome and determined appearance is enough to attract countless girls into the theater.


    "Is this the "Titanic" with an investment of 250 million dollars? Is it a love story?"


    "Looking at the poster, Ryan is so handsome. It''s so charming."


    "Regardless of the movie. Even if it''s for Ryan, I will go to the theater."


    "It is said that Ryan does not have a girlfriend. We still have a chance."


    "Support "Titanic", support Ryan!"


    "The movie will be released in more than a month. We should prepare in advance."


    "Ryan, we are the support club of Los Angeles. We have covered the box office of the Greater Los Angeles area..."


    "Can Ryan tell me more about your role..."


    Needless to say, after the stills are hung up. The message board has become a place for fans to do graffiti. They express their support for the movie¡¯s idols in various ways.


    "These guys!"


    Ryan shook his head, but didn''t care too much. At this time, he was completely different from Xiao Li in his previous life. Not only was he a member of the Academy and a member of the Oscar judges, he had a huge influence in this circle, and he also deliberately Bringing Miramax, a public relations weapon, combined with the acting skills recognized by the vast majority of people, presumably will not be completely sad.


    Besides, in the next two years, Ryan intends to play roles in a completely different way. This huge image change before and after, if nothing else, will bring huge praise, maybe it will be able to impact the next one. The little golden man.


    Now that he logged on to the website, Ryan simply wrote something about the movie to attract attention.


    ""Titanic" tells a love story in disaster. Just like the one that happened back then, it will show the glory of humanity in the shipwreck. In addition, there are also the shipwreck shots created by James Cameron over three years. Absolutely real and shocking. When I went to try out the clip, I was shocked from ear to ear.


    "Everyone knows The Set Tyrant is the pioneer of new film technology. This time he used unprecedented advanced technology and equipment..."


    "As for my role, I am a painter full of romantic feelings, poor but optimistic...Well, I can''t keep talking, otherwise, if the spoilers are spoiled, I will be jointly claimed by the film company..."


    Lin Lin, Ryan wrote some tidbits and anecdotes from the shooting, most of which are dog-blood incidents that the public loves to see, such as James Cameron¡¯s roar of 300 decibels at the scene, such as Billy Zane¡¯s pet lizard being quilted. Trailer crushed and so on.


    Of course, Ryan is not a fool, and what he writes is all innocuous, like wild mandarin ducks that always appear after a party, and he will never reveal it to the outside world.


    These messages, which are often only circulated within the crew, not only attracted the attention of netizens, but also attracted the attention of some paper media. Some of them contacted Pai Jinsili and wanted to reprint it.


    Ryan readily promised that this was a good opportunity for free publicity, but what he didn''t expect was that when the media became more and more hot on the topic of "Titanic", the voice of suspicion jumped out again. ()

 Chapter 249： Propaganda war

    "The feeling of a shipwreck!"


    This is the title of the comment in the "Observing the Titanic" column of the "New Englander".


    "Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron¡¯s "Titanic" is coming to an end. This is the biggest fool in Hollywood history. It took four years and spent $250 million to make a ship destined to The sinking giant ship is a bit ridiculous. Nearly a hundred years have passed since the Titanic incident. Few people would care about this sunken ship lying alone on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean."


    "There is definite news that Ryan Jenkins has set out a $50 million marketing budget for the film in addition to the $250 million production cost. God! This is $300 million, not 300 million yen! "Titanic" What kind of box office do I need to get in order to make a profit?"


    "Some people will say the success of "Jurassic Park". We want to remind everyone that it took a few years for "Jurassic Park" from the birth of the novel to the movie release? It is precisely because of the tens of millions of book fans who have made it. This is the result of the film¡¯s global box office championship."


    "Maybe "Titanic" will win more than 400 million or even 500 million U.S. dollars at the box office, but in the face of an investment of up to 300 million U.S. dollars, this box office is not enough at all. This ship is destined to sink, but it is a pity. Ramon Pictures, Miramax and Twentieth Century Fox are three companies. They pay too much attention to the successful past of Ryan Jenkins, but ignore that no one will succeed forever..."


    There is never a shortage of people in this world who oppose for the sake of opposing, and who attract attention by outstanding speech. What''s more, although the "New Englander" was born only a few years ago. It has become the most active of the hidden anti-Semitic media.


    In addition, some people who have always looked at Ryan displeased also made comments.


    "There is no doubt that Ryan Jenkins has an artistic talent that is the envy of the whole world. I remember that a few years ago, I reminded him in a column that the first purpose of art is to reproduce reality. God has given you such outstanding art. Talent is not for you to spend unrestrainedly. To create works that do not know the so-called, pure art should be the ultimate pursuit!"


    "However, when he grew up, he went completely astray. From the works of the last two years, it can be seen that Ryan Jenkins completely abandoned artistic thinking and embarked on the road of commercialization. The total investment of "Nick" is as high as 300 million US dollars. If this money is donated, how many people in urgent need can be helped?"


    "In the past few years, large-scale productions that have invested hundreds of millions of dollars have failed one after another. Are the lessons of "Cut Throat Island" and "Future Water World" not profound enough? Or Ryan Jenkins would rather let the 300 million US dollars be wiped out. Do something more meaningful? He often said that if God gave you a pearl, he would take you a diamond. Then I want to tell him. God will punish people who waste talent! "Titanic" is bound to become Waterloo!"


    ¡ª¡ªGary Graham, The New York Times


    Regarding the clamor of these people, Ryan didn''t care at all, even if "Titanic" won the box office of the previous life, these people who opposed it for opposition can still find a reason to attack him.


    If you encounter a few clowns, jump out and shout. He is going to stand up to refute, and I am afraid that all the time will not be enough. As long as their remarks don''t touch the bottom line, just ignore it. If they break the rules first, then he won''t be polite.


    You know, it''s not just themselves who are not pleasing to their eyes. Anti-Semitic organizations are indeed strong, but the National Jewish Association is also not vegetarian.


    "Titanic" is still implemented step by step in accordance with the inherent publicity plan. Ryan will not allow external factors to easily break the planned plan. TV, newspapers and magazines, and the Internet go hand in hand, and with the support of sufficient publicity funds, enter After May, there was a carpet-like intensive bombing.


    It''s only a month since the movie was released, and the promotion and marketing have entered the sprint stage, which is a very critical period.


    In the previous life, the start of "Titanic" was not very successful. During the shooting process, the budget was constantly added, and the post-production was infinitely delayed, which greatly affected the promotion and marketing.


    Especially for the producer 20th Century Fox, its board of directors even prepared for bankruptcy after the film failed. In order to recover some of the investment as much as possible, even the copyright in North America was sold to Paramount Pictures. After it was completed, it was put on the market without waiting for full publicity and fermentation.


    Among them, it did not invite well-known film critics and the media to hold a preview, and the film premiere was held in Tokyo. It was a very unwise decision, which directly affected the box office numbers of the film in the first week.


    The North American box office of more than 28 million US dollars in the first week can only be said to be average. Even so, the film has created an unprecedented number with its good reputation and almost miraculous performance.


    The production process of this movie in this world has undergone earth-shaking changes. Ryan will naturally no longer allow the twists and turns of the previous life to happen to "Titanic". He has worked with the promotional and marketing elites of his partners to formulate a careful publicity plan.


    Since May, the media has been full of "Titanic" figures. Plazas, commercial buildings, subway stations and other crowded places are covered with related posters. In major cities, wherever posters can be posted, There are posters of Ryan and Winslet and the big ship.


    During the last period of time, Ryan frequently went to Cameron¡¯s studio in his spare time. James Cameron slept in the editing room. When the first weekend of May came, the crew released the first An official trailer.


    Ryan did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy the big screen in Times Square and the prime time of the three major television networks, and play this trailer edited by James Cameron in turn.


    This trailer focuses on the best and most **** clips in the movie, such as the Titanic leaving Southampton Pier, such as the display of the entire ship riding the wind and waves, and so on.


    The most eye-catching ones are the four short pictures.


    "I''m the king of the world!" Ryan yelled from the bow of the ship.


    There is also the most **** shot of the movie. Jack and Ruth are standing on the bow and kissing in the wind. The shot is displayed 360 degrees.


    Of course, this is a disaster romance movie. Naturally, the shipwreck is indispensable. When the big ship''s head sinks, many people are stunned. The scene is so real and shocking, like a ship. The real giant ship suddenly sank in front of them.


    "I was watching something else. When I changed the channel, I suddenly saw the trailer of "Titanic". When the ship broke from it, my hair was on my back and I couldn''t believe what I saw!"


    A film critic expressed his opinion on this shot, "No film can do so real, I believe what Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron said, they should be able to reproduce the shipwreck!"


    However, the most eye-catching thing is the last clip of the trailer. If the short song like a natural sound, the hero and the heroine stand at the stern of the ship, and are undergoing the test of a huge disaster.


    "It''s now, get it done." This is Jack.


    "God." Ruth was horrified.


    "Don''t let go of my hand!"


    "I will never let go!" Ruth''s words are the end of the trailer.


    A very **** but touching picture, a few lines show the love of the hero and heroine in the disaster, and this kind of **** bridge is often the most attractive place.


    Although it is only a trailer for more than two minutes, it is a super giant with a production cost of up to 250 million US dollars. Most entertainment media have launched their own analysis after the trailer came out.


    "Obviously, this is a love story mixed in a shipwreck. From the only picture, it can be guessed that it should be the part of the poor boy falling in love with the rich girl. Such content is very vulgar, please don''t forget that the script is from The Hand of Ryan, such a master of storytelling, will surely write some different points of love."


    This is an analysis written by the media focusing on the plot.


    "What is the plot, it is difficult to draw conclusions from the limited picture, but the special effects shots of the shipwreck are no longer astonishing and can be described. It is simply shocking. Everyone knows that James Cameron is not only a tyrant on the set, but also a technical madman. , Presumably he will show us the most advanced movie special effects, if other special effects pictures can reach the level of the trailer, this movie has been half the success!"


    The article from the "Hollywood Report" focuses more on the technical level of the film.


    "We want to remind everyone to pay attention to that song. Although there are only a few lines in the trailer, this song written and composed by Ryan Jenkins and sung by Celine Dion is like a natural sound. From the musical style that appears, We can boldly guess that the love in "Titanic" is most likely a tragedy..."


    The guess of "Rolling Stone" magazine has been recognized by many people.


    In the intensive publicity report, the "New Englander" jumped out again.


    "Love in front of disaster? This is even more absurd than the plot of "Face Changing". A disaster film with too many love factors will only become nondescript. Look at what is shown in the trailer. , Ryan Jenkins''s close-up, or Ryan Jenkins''s close-up, still Ryan Jenkins''s close-up, maybe the small success of "Cat and Mouse Game" made him obsessed with this kind of selling face show, yes Yes, you are indeed handsome, but don¡¯t you need to make the whole movie your foil? Frankly speaking, we didn¡¯t find anything worthy of praise in the trailer except for the **** dialogue between the hero and the heroine."


    Probably a certain tacit understanding has been formed. The commentary of the "New Englander" has just appeared here, and the column of Gary Graham over there has also been published in the newspaper.


    "''I am the king of the world!'' This line of the film''s leading actor comes from Ryan Jenkins'' pen. From this we can see how much this 17-year-old young man has swelled. I still have the courage to say something like this.¡± (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets at the starting point.

 Chapter 250： Ashamed to throw it across the Atlantic

    Regardless of whether it is praise or depreciation, various media comments have maintained "Titanic" at a sufficiently high level of attention, becoming the hottest entertainment topic in the entire North America and even the Western world in May. The main actors of the crew The staff also entered the screenwriting department of major TV stations or print media in batches, and tried their best to promote the film.


    Ryan is no exception. In his spare time, he participated in three talk shows in succession, violating the "contradictions" between James Cameron and Kate Winslet, telling about the various "conflicts" in film creation and shooting. '', attracted a lot of attention.


    To some extent, the entertainment industry is the eyeball economy. As long as there is enough attention, there are unlimited possibilities.


    The busy work is temporarily falling behind. Ryan originally wanted to visit Nicole''s class, but she did not expect that she returned to Los Angeles ahead of schedule because important people arrived in the City of Angels from London.


    "The filming of "Eileen Brockovich" is nearing the end, and work will definitely be over before June."


    Out of the elevator, Nicole took Ryan''s arm and walked on the top floor of the Hilton Hotel while discussing recent work.


    "Steven and I were on the phone, and there should be no problem with the movie being released at the end of the year."


    When they reached a presidential suite, the staff nodded to Ryan, took the initiative to open the door, and the two went straight in.


    "God bless you!"


    Ryan and Nicole bowed at the same time. Although Diana had left the royal family last year, she retained the title of Princess of Wales, but the title of "His Royal Highness" was gone.


    "Ryan. Nicole, we are old friends. You are welcome."


    Diana gave the two to the sofa in the living room, but before sitting down, Ryan keenly noticed that there was a figure shaking in the study, and then disappeared into the bedroom.


    Although the time is short, it is enough for him to see clearly that the other person has an Arab appearance.


    Counting the time, Diana should have fallen in love with the Muslim, and Ryan drifted past her belly without a trace. It doesn''t seem to be different from the last time I met.


    Compared with Ryan, Nicole and Diana have a deeper friendship. Most of the time, Ryan just listens to them chatting about jewelry, fashion and other women''s topics. Only when Diana asks him, will he talk about it. sentence.


    Of course, Diana invited the two to come. It was not for renewing friendship and chatting. She came to North America this time to raise funds for the orphanage under her name in California. Stars and wealthy people like Ryan and Nicole are naturally her first choice.


    After the bodyguard came in to inform that everything was ready, Ryan and Diana followed Diana out of the hotel to rush to the orphanage near Long Beach.


    "Ryan. And Nicole, you can ride with me."


    In front of the hotel, a large number of paparazzi and reporters surrounded, Diana sent out an invitation.


    "No need, Your Highness. Let''s follow along."


    When Nicole was about to speak, Ryan quietly pulled her. Then he declined the opponent.


    "Mr. Jenkins, Miss Kidman, it is said that the princess came to Los Angeles with "g", have you seen it?"


    "I heard that he is a Muslim, is it true?"


    "Can you tell me if the princess is in love with him, and how long this relationship can last..."


    Ryan turned a deaf ear to the indiscriminate media bombardment, and under the protection of bodyguards and hotel staff, he pulled Nicole into the Bentley that George drove over.


    "Why refuse, Ryan?" Nicole complained a little after the car broke through and caught up with Diana''s car. "It''s rude to do this, don''t you know?"


    "Nicole, I admit that the Princess of Wales is a respectable person, but we still keep a little distance from her." Ryan patted her arm and pulled up the reason casually, "You know, between her and the royal family The conflicts cannot be reconciled. It is better for us to stay away from these political events."


    "Just for this?" Nicole sighed and rolled her eyes helplessly.


    "of course."


    He can''t tell Nicole that this is just in case, right?


    It is true that there is still some time before the events of the previous life, but God only knows whether his appearance will bring about changes. Now the reputation of the British royal family has reached a freezing point, but Diana, the former princess, has an outstanding reputation and has won the majority of the people. With her support, coupled with her frequent royal scandals, the silent man standing behind the queen would really get into trouble.


    Ryan is still very clear about the reason why the city gate caught fire and caused the fish to suffer.


    Of course, it doesn''t matter if it''s charity activities, it''s just a routine.


    When Ryan got out of the car, on the lawn in front of the orphanage, many children were lining up to greet Diana with flowers in their hands. In addition, there were hundreds of reporters gathered here, and there were more than a dozen other stars who came to cheer.


    To put it bluntly, this is just a thorough show.


    Having been famous for so many years, whether Ryan or Nicole, cope with this kind of scene easily, first shook hands with the staff of the orphanage one by one, said "your work is great and meaningful", and then took over the orphans. The flowers handed over hold their hands, showing intimacy and friendliness in front of the camera.


    "They are all lovely children, and there may be a genius like you among them."


    When entering the large activity room of the orphanage, Diana was still holding a little blond girl, Ryan just smiled, but didn''t say anything.


    On this occasion, no matter how many stars ridden by negative news, they will become angels. They will try their best to satisfy every request of these children and show their generosity and demeanor in front of the camera.


    "Hi, Tommy, I didn''t expect to meet you here." Ryan said, naturally it was steamed bun soup.


    "The princess called in person to invite." Tom Hanks made a gesture that you understand.


    "Ryan." Nicole walked over with a little girl. "This lovely lady, I want you to draw a sketch for her, okay?"


    It seemed that Nicole was asking for advice, but Ryan caught her light blue eyes. It is clear that there is no room for rejection, after all, Nicole really likes children. It can be seen from her attitude towards Taylor and others.


    "What do you want to paint, dear." Ryan rubbed the girl''s hair.


    "Can you draw a portrait for the princess?" the little girl asked weakly.


    "This..." Ryan looked at Diana who was sitting next to her. She was joking and laughing with a few children, "No problem, Ryan."


    "okay then."


    Ryan just nodded, and the staff brought charcoal pencils and picture clips, which was really well prepared.


    Now this environment. Ryan can only use quick sketches, and the charcoal pencil falls on the drawing paper, smoothly sketching Diana''s facial contour...


    About ten minutes later, Ryan gave Diana a thumbs up to sit and wait, indicating that she was free to move around, and then began the finishing work.


    "Ok?"


    The little girl who had been holding Diana''s hand suddenly ran over. After smiling brilliantly at Ryan, he stretched out his hand to grab the picture clip, and showed it to the media on the other side in a few people''s astonishment.


    The reporter paparazzi are like flies, getting closer and closer to the sound of the camera shutter. I kept filming that sketch, as if this was the big news.


    Ok! A super genius from the United States, personally painted a portrait of the Princess of Wales, which is definitely eye-catching.


    Of course, Ryan would not think so. In his opinion, he was embarrassed and thrown to the other side of the Atlantic this time.


    Frankly speaking. His painting skills can only be regarded as ordinary, even the level of drawing drawings of a truck driver is much better than him. The sub-shots drawn in the past are only circulated in the circle. This portrait of Diana, although It looks similar, but in terms of demeanor...well, let alone talk about it.


    Since participating in Diana''s charity activities, it is natural to donate a certain amount of money. Ryan and other stars have been prepared for a long time. The eye-catching numbers on the big cheques were recorded extremely faithfully by the reporter''s lens.


    Ryan, like Nicole, donated one million dollars each.


    "We really have a tacit understanding." This is what Ryan said in Nicole''s ear, and the two of them did not communicate beforehand.


    "My dear, you should be more generous and donate all the future income of "Titanic"." Nicole covered her mouth and smiled softly.


    "You like children very much." Ryan sighed.


    "Of course." Nicole''s eyes flickered.


    The charity event ended smoothly, the children received the necessary funds for their growth, the stars gained a reputation for generosity and enthusiasm, and the reporters got enough news that attracted the attention of everyone.


    This was just the beginning of Diana¡¯s series of activities in Los Angeles. In the following days, she convened a charity dinner to raise donations. Perhaps it was for the purpose of making a name for herself, but it was undeniable that her behavior inspired many people to devote themselves to it. During the charity, many people in urgent need were also helped.


    In any case, because of this alone, Diana can be regarded as a person worthy of admiration. Anyway, neither Ryan nor Nicole asked themselves to be able to achieve her level. They also donate a sum of money every year. That''s it.


    "Actually, what I want is very simple, a sincere relationship, someone who loves me deeply."


    Nicole is considered to be one of Diana¡¯s best friends in Hollywood, and the other party specifically found time to come to visit, "Nicole, where is your true love? Don''t tell me there is no..."


    The woman who came out of the royal whirlpool ~ www.novelhall.com ~ naturally wouldn''t be an idiot.


    "I found it, it''s not out of sight..."


    Nicole shook her head and did not go on. She hadn''t even revealed any girlfriends like Judy Foster and Cate Blanchett, let alone the complicated woman in front of her.


    "Pain and darkness will always pass." Diana didn''t wait much, but she said goodbye after staying for dozens of minutes. At the same time, she persuaded Nicole, "As long as there is someone who loves you by your side, it is more important than anything else. take care of it."


    Hearing what she said, Ryan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "Wang Hao, maybe a bit presumptuous, but your driver is too presumptuous, George...well, just my bodyguard, I saw him privately several times. Drinking, for the sake of safety, it¡¯s better to change one.¡± (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets at the starting point.

 Chapter 251： Preview

    It¡¯s only more than three months before the end of August. If the British official rhetoric in the previous life is credible, this will change Diana¡¯s fate, but...


    Despite Diana''s doubts, Ryan said it all. It is already his limit to be able to say the sentence just now. As for the Princess of Wales, it is better to leave it to fate to make a decision.


    After sending Diana away, Nicole frowned and looked at Ryan. It was really rare that he could tell someone to change the driver.


    "What are you thinking about, Ryan?" Nicole kicked off her high heels and sat cross-legged on the sofa.


    "Nothing." Ryan waved his hand casually, it''s better for this kind of thing to **** in his stomach.


    From Diana''s words, one could hear that she was in a passionate love with the Muslim. If she really agreed to the other party''s proposal like in her previous life, it would definitely turn into a disaster.


    Think about it. In the future, His Royal Highness William of Great Britain will have a stepfather who does not believe in God, and maybe there will be a Muslim brother or sister. That is definitely a big scandal. The royal family will definitely not accept it, even without the Queen¡¯s mouth. Prince Philip, who seems taciturn, but is clever, is very likely to make the hidden danger disappear early.


    Of course, these are just rumors from previous lives and Ryan''s own guesses. Perhaps only the old man of God will know how the actual situation will develop.


    However, Ryan will keep himself and Nicole far away from this incident. In case the rumors are true, the British Air Force Special Assault Team is definitely not something he can afford...


    With Diana leaving the City of Angels, Nicole also ended her short vacation. Prepare to return to Sinclair, a small city in the Mojave Desert, and end the remaining shots.


    "Ryan, don''t think you can do anything wrong after I leave Los Angeles. I know all your actions." Nicole once solemnly warned when he left.


    It''s no wonder she was not at ease, the temptation of Hollywood, especially the temptation of men who can praise the celebrity, is really too much, as far as she knows, that Charlize Theron has been out about Ryan several times.


    Lived together for so many years. Nicole knew that she occupies the most important position in Ryan''s heart. He would definitely pay attention to some words as long as she mentioned them.


    and. Nicole didn''t worry much about Charlize Theron, she knew where the potential opponent was.


    After sending Nicole away, Ryan is busy again, and the promotion of "Titanic" has a dedicated person in charge. It is currently proceeding in an orderly manner. It doesn''t take him to pay too much attention.


    Due to recent short film assignments and continuous TV show promotion, the "Mission Impossible" script has not been officially completed until now. During the period, he also handed another task to the editing team of Jenkins Pictures to complete a series based on his outline. Sex comedy.


    This theme can be said to be not too difficult. Most of the screenwriters recruited have experience in college life. Even if they are not members of the Brotherhood, they have always participated in some peripheral parties. Just write exaggeration and add some fierce materials. It will become a qualified comedy.


    Low-input, high-output films, especially series films, are always Ryan''s goals.


    Speaking of the series, the "Mission Impossible" series can be regarded as a very successful model. After the script was completed, Ryan immediately handed it over to Jenkins Pictures, asking Jules Stewart to find suitable staff to prepare for production.


    Originally, Ryan considered Baige Wu, but "Face Changing" has just been released. If another film with a similar style is released next year, it will definitely have an impact on the box office. Hollywood may lack genre film directors, but there is no shortage of qualified commercial film directors. .


    Besides, Ryan will personally serve as the producer of the movie, and the production and editing of the movie needs to follow his advice.


    Leonardo DiCaprio is not Xiao Li, who has been disabled in order to change his image in the future. He is very interested in such a role. After hesitating for a while, he agreed. As for the other main things For the role, Jenkins Pictures is preparing to hold a large-scale audition. The most indispensable thing in Hollywood is the actors waiting for the opportunity.


    Generally speaking, the focus at this stage is still "Titanic". Except for Nicole''s "Irene Brockovich", the rest of "Men in Black" and "Peerless Tribulation" Ryan are all put aside, anyway. Jerry Bruckheimer is not only the producer of the two films, but the company under his name also accounts for a certain proportion of the investment in them. He wants to make the film successful more than anyone else.


    ...


    The picture gradually darkened, the sound of the Irish whistle played, and after a short intro, it was Celine Dion''s ethereal singing.


    "Every night, in my dream, I see you, I feel you, I understand your heart, across the space of the soul, you show me your coming... No matter how far away you are from me, I believe in me With the heart, you knock on my heart, you blend into my heart, my heart is with you, my heart is dependent on you, my heart is eternal..."


    The big screen has completely returned to darkness, and the small theater temporarily leased back to light. I don¡¯t know which film critic was the first to clap his palms, and then the applause became full. Only more than 30 people applauded, warm and lasting. , Actually persisted for a few minutes.


    "Ryan, and James, this is a masterpiece, this is definitely the pinnacle of commercial film!"


    "It''s too unexpected. I already overestimated this movie, but it actually far exceeded my imagination."


    "Ryan, although the story is too old-fashioned compared to several of your masterpieces, it is very exciting..."


    "Titanic is definitely the pinnacle of special effects in the current movie. Ryan, Jim, although no one can predict the box office, I believe that there is absolutely no problem with recovering the cost."


    "Of course, those boys and girls who are obsessed with Ryan will definitely buy tickets to watch it many times."


    All the top film critics and media practitioners in the industry were invited, and almost all of them gave positive comments on the film.


    This is a small trial held by Ryan deliberately before the release. Both himself and James Cameron are full of confidence in the film. They have brought in a group of relatively fair professionals in the industry and borrowed their pens. For the "Titanic" for the final momentum.


    As for the movie, you can see from the attitude of these people after the trial.


    Sending these pen juggling guys away, Ryan returned to the theater. Professionals from Jenkins Pictures and the digital field were packing up the film and equipment. Five or six bodyguards looked around and took an attitude of protecting precious jewels. Protect the copy film of the movie.


    For Ryan, this movie represents at least one billion dollars, and the security measures can''t be overstated.


    "Jim, are you going back to Venice?"


    After walking out of the theater, Ryan found that James Cameron did not intend to go to Paramount Pictures not far away.


    "Ryan, I''m not good at publicity and marketing. I''ll go back to the digital field and continue to improve the copy." James Cameron beckoned and got into the car where the film was.


    "It is estimated that after this movie, Jim will not want to touch the movie for a long time."


    Jon Landau gave Ryan a please gesture, and the two got on the Mercedes-Benz station wagon, and when they arrived at Paramount Pictures¡¯ large conference room, most of the crew¡¯s public relations staff, including publicity and marketing, Already waiting here.


    "The comments that those people gave to the movie were better than we thought." The first sentence after Jon Landau sat down, gave everyone a reassurance.


    Although film critics cannot represent the audience, they can reflect some problems. Moreover, today''s preview will invite celebrities, and their columns and comments are still very good publicity positions.


    After Shirley Lansing and others asked about Jon Landau''s specific situation, Ryan spoke slowly.


    "In terms of film, Director Cameron has achieved the ultimate, and the last remaining work is to promote marketing and market development."


    Ryan looked at a person in charge, "How are the peripheral products prepared?"


    "T-shirts, postcards, Titanic ship models, etc., we have prepared sufficient goods, and there will be no shortage of supplies in "Jurassic Park."


    "Very good." Ryan nodded to him. In fact, the surroundings of this movie can''t be as crazy as "Jurassic Park", "I''ll say a few points."


    "You need to prepare more copies, at least 4000 copies in North America! As for overseas, the more the better!"


    In the previous life, there were only more than 2,800 theaters in the first week of "Titanic", but now, Ryan has united several major film companies, followed by the support of media groups such as Viacom and News Corporation, plus his The box office appeal accumulated over the years has easily won nearly 3,500 theaters for the movie.


    If the start goes well, the movie theaters will inevitably increase, and if the copies cannot keep up by then, it will be a real joke.


    "There are also overseas markets, UU reading I hope that two to three weeks after the movie is released, it will be able to log in to several major markets in Europe and the Far East, and the publicity must keep up!" Ryan''s eyes fell on Paramount The person in charge of the public relations department said, "Jamie, get it done in mainland China as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"


    "Our people are actively engaged in public relations. If the film..." He hesitated for a while and continued, "If the film can achieve the expected results, the difficulty of our public relations will be greatly reduced."


    "Ok!"


    Ryan nodded. The movie in his previous life got a terrifying box office on the other side. It is also a very eye-catching figure when converted into US dollars. He will not let go of any opportunity to increase the box office of the movie!


    As for the purpose, it is very simple. Ryan wants "Titanic" to accumulate as much box office as possible before next year''s Oscars. The previous life academy can surrender to one billion dollars. What if this number is higher or even doubled?


    In his opinion, the only role of historical records is to allow later generations to break through. Ryan does not want to share records with any movies. He wants Hollywood to always remember his name and remember who led a brilliant achievement! (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 252： About to set sail

    "The Titanic will not sink!"


    "As everyone knows, the trailer for "Titanic" is wonderful, but the movie is even more exciting than the trailer!"


    "Just yesterday, Ryan Jenkins held a preview for "Titanic". This super masterpiece with a production cost of up to 250 million US dollars finally revealed its face.


    "Like all of Ryan''s past works, the plot of the movie is ingeniously designed and almost flawless. Several major actors including Ryan Jenkins and Kate Winslet have shown their peak acting skills, James? The film technology used by Cameron is absolutely at the forefront of the world. The lens is full of luxurious and atmospheric style. This film, which has been produced for nearly four years, is the pinnacle of commercial films!"


    Closing the "Los Angeles Times" in his hand, he was still on the side of his desk, Michael Eisner''s expressionless face, his eyes gleaming sharply.


    Since he is at the helm of a large media group, he knows what the media reports are all about. However, after the trial screenings of multiple newspapers, the voices of praise at the same time can always explain some problems.


    What''s more, Walt Disney and Ryan Jenkins have cooperated for several years, and they know each other''s talents and methods. Since he dared to spend so much time and took so much time, he also participated in the performance in person. Definitely full of confidence.


    Thinking of the past, Michael Eisner''s unstoppable anger was rising, and the decision-making error on Pixar was definitely the biggest failure of his career, the ignorant boy that year. Obviously, he put himself and Disney together.


    Frankly speaking, he very much hopes that "Titanic" will sink like that huge ship in history and cause huge losses to Ryan Jenkins. Even if the other party has a lot of money and loses such a large amount of cash flow, it will definitely hurt your muscles. Moving bones, it''s impossible to say that he still has a chance to get involved with Pixar, so as to save his reputation.


    Actually. He did a lot of actions secretly, and some of the critics in the media came from Disney''s support, and all the media under Disney did not accept any promotional business from the "Titanic" crew.


    Of course, Michael Eisner is not a fool, and everything he is doing now is within the scope of normal business competition. It is not that he does not want to use other means, but Ryan Jenkins has kidnapped too many alliances of interest. Just like before he kidnapped Disney with huge immediate proceeds.


    Capital is inherently profit-seeking, and as long as there is sufficient income, those commercial groups will definitely maintain a common alliance.


    of course. Disney is their competitor. They are also partners. The problem is that Ryan Jenkins can bring them, but Disney can''t give them. Otherwise, so many benefits will flow out, let alone deal with foreign enemies. I''m afraid Disney''s board of directors will be messed up first.


    After all, he is different from Ryan Jenkins in that the other party holds absolute controlling rights in the company under his name, and he is just the helm of Walt Disney.


    Besides, Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox. All have invested a lot of money in "Titanic", if you really use shameless means. How can Viacom and News Corp. give up.


    Even with Michael Eisner¡¯s strength, he feels a little tied up. Ryan Jenkins can not only create benefits, but he also knows how to share benefits and share with others. Such a person is troublesome to deal with...


    But anyway, he hopes that this movie will be over, that Ryan Jenkins will be ashamed, and that the alliance centered on him will be completely broken...


    One cannot succeed forever! Michael Eisner agrees very much with this view.


    In the upper floors of the Disney headquarters building, Gene took advantage of his free time, knocking on the keyboard, and a message was posted on the message board.


    "The latest news is that "Titanic" can be booked one week in advance. Friends of the Los Angeles Ryan Club, our carnival time is coming soon. According to the news from all aspects, the movie is good enough. Ryan himself promised us that "Titanic" will become the pinnacle of commercial movies, and his words have never failed! I suggest that friends who buy tickets in advance should buy more tickets for more shows, if When the "Jurassic Park" is released, we will take the initiative!"


    After scanning the messages posted on Ryan''s personal website, Jean switched to the website belonging to their support club. This website is also linked to Yahoo, and he is one of the responsible persons.


    To be precise, this young man who once supported Tom Cruise and was completely changed by "Jurassic Park" has become a die-hard fan of Ryan and is one of the heads of the Los Angeles support club.


    "On June 4, the Hollywood Chinese Theater premieres! On June 5, "Titanic" will land in North America! Support Ryan! Support "Titanic"! On June 4, enter the Chinese Theater! June 5 Day, occupy all the theaters in Los Angeles!"


    After shutting down the website, Gene returned to work, but couldn''t help but lose his mind.


    Those friends of the year went to different cities after graduation. Even Chris left, but he stayed in Los Angeles and entered Disneyland, and got a good job.


    Thinking of his rebellion and the "Rising to the Sky" he had watched, Gene couldn''t help but laugh. Time is the best evidence. In the past few years, Ryan''s masterpieces have been published, but Tom Cruise has gradually fallen into decline and has become a veritable name. Poison at the box office is said to have owed a large amount of debt, and is currently in dire straits.


    It was by watching Ryan''s movies and listening to his cheerful songs that Jean completely became a die-hard fan, and because of his involvement in the media industry, he gained a high reputation in the fan circle.


    Although Ryan has grown up without the gentleness of his youth, he has more excitement, which is more in line with their wishes. Ryan is the best Ryan like this, isn''t it?


    They will support Ryan with practical actions to support "Titanic"!


    After a busy day, David Greene hung up the phone with satisfaction, and he was completely relieved. Jenkins Pictures agreed to provide him with sufficient sources of "Titanic" peripheral products.


    A few years later, David Greene is more than just the owner of a small boutique. He has a company of his own. Although it is not large in scale, the profits are considerable.


    This company specializes in the agency and sales of movie peripheral products. Its business policy is very simple. It only does the business of Jenkins Pictures. With the foundation laid by the original "Jurassic Park" when it was released, David Greene can always be faster. With more goods, and the promotion of a big-selling movie, he has also gained a lot of money in recent years.


    Although long-term accumulated experience told him that the surroundings of "Titanic" may not be as good as "Jurassic Park", he still ordered large quantities of goods. After all, David Greene frequently dealt with moviegoers. He knew What kind of appeal does the name Ryan Jenkins have in the eyes of most film-loving Americans?


    In his opinion, even if "Titanic" is a downright bad film, as long as Ryan starred, it can easily break through the 100 million, even 200 million US dollars box office mark! The influence of the other party among the younger generation can only be described as horror.


    Besides, Ryan Jenkins hasn''t failed yet. How could "Titanic" be a bad movie?


    After dispelling the random thoughts from his mind, David Greene picked up the phone again, dialed around, contacting the sales of peripheral products.


    "Hello, I want to reserve tickets for "Titanic", June 5th, the earliest show, three tickets! Thank you, I will pick them up as soon as possible."


    Putting down the phone, Natalie moved around the room, finally showing a satisfied smile.


    This is a small villa rented by her mother. Although she will not officially move out of the house until her birthday, Natalie is still very happy to have her own space.


    Since her father noticed that she did not follow a strict vegetarian diet, serious verbal conflicts broke out between her father and her daughter, and even fell into the cold war for a time. Natalie knew in her heart that her father had long been dissatisfied with her role as an actor, and she was unhappy with herself. ''S friends have deep prejudices, this is just an outbreak accumulated over a long period of time.


    Natalie is aware of her father''s stubbornness and conservativeness, and she knows that if she continues, it is likely to have more serious consequences. After obtaining her mother''s consent, she intends to move out of her home when she turns sixteen and get out of the cage.


    Honor, freedom and persistence, this is her pursuit, and...


    A picture appeared in my mind. In the dense rain of bullets, the guy who was as strong as steel firmly pressed himself to the ground and used everything he had to protect her from a little bit of harm.


    No matter how strong, no matter how smart, no matter how smart people, they all have their own emotional world. They have been together for eight years. They encouraged each other, they shared each other, they satirized each other...


    Before she knew it, Natalie picked up the phone again, and subconsciously pressed the number that she remembered in her heart.


    "Hi, Nat." The voice on the other side was a little tired.


    "Ryan..."


    "Nate can I come to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of "Titanic"?"


    "When..." Natalie subconsciously wanted to agree, but thinking about her career, she said, "Sorry, Ryan, "Annie''s Diary" is about to perform, and I''m the heroine again..."


    "It''s okay, Nat."


    Although often quarreling, at critical moments, the other party always thinks of himself, "Nat, I''m going to be busy, when the crew goes to New York..."


    "Wait, Ryan!" Natalie suddenly remembered the most important thing, "Can you come to New York on my birthday? I''m going to be sixteen..."


    "Of course, Nat!"


    "You promise! No, your guarantee to me has always been unreliable!"


    After hanging up the phone, Natalie was stunned. After all, there is only one sixteen-year-old in her life. This is the beginning of her own self-reliance!


    That once the world''s largest ship is coming soon! ()

 Chapter 253： Set sail one

    "Damn it, Ryan, I just changed my dress!"


    In the dressing room, Nicole complained, followed by Ryan''s admiring voice, "Nicole, you are particularly attractive in an evening dress."


    "Take your hands away, Ryan."


    With the sound of''pop'' and the man''s cry, Nicole''s voice turned to cold, "This is the premiere of "Titanic", do you want to be late, and this is Jenny''s studio, not home ."


    "Alright alright."


    Ryan loosened his arms around Nicole''s hands, stepped back and sat in the chair, pinched his chin with one hand, and said, "Nicole, you can continue."


    The light blue eyes shook a blade, but Ryan''s face was too thick to cause even a slight injury, so Nicole simply sat back in front of the makeup mirror and made up some of the makeup moistened by saliva.


    After the ¡®duh¡¯ knock on the door, Jennifer Meyer walked in and saw Ryan¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up, "Ryan, your outfit today will surely fascinate countless people."


    "Will it be too casual, this is the premiere." Ryan looked down at his dress, rather helpless.


    "This is very good, don''t forget, this is a new image designed for you by me and Jenny." Nicole can naturally see his mind, and the light blue eyes are full of warnings. If you don''t let me Satisfied, then I won¡¯t make you satisfied after the premiere...


    After the Oscar, Nicole discovered an interesting fact that Ryan had no resistance to herself in a dress.


    "It seems that I have no choice."


    Ryan said. Standing up and walking to the full-length mirror, the tall young man inside was wearing a casual suit. The white silk shirt has neither a tie nor a bow tie. Instead, a button is opened, which makes the always stable self look more flamboyant and free and easy. With the three-dimensional facial features carved like marble, it has a unique charm. .


    Am I a bit narcissistic? Ryan couldn''t help squeezing his face.


    However, from the eyes that Nicole floated over from time to time, it was enough to see that she was extraordinarily attractive now.


    "Ryan. Time is almost up." George walked in at this moment.


    "Jenny, don''t be late."


    Nicole walked to Ryan, took his arm, and reminded Jennifer Meyer at the same time.


    The last time Nicole¡¯s stunning appearance at the Oscars made Jennifer Meyer¡¯s reputation gradually, and this is where the current styling studio is established.


    "of course."


    Jennifer Meyer will naturally not let go of this good opportunity to expand contacts and promote herself.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Charlize Theron is walking on the red carpet at the entrance of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. After a glance, it felt that there were no fewer audiences than before the Oscars, but the difference is that most of the people gathered here are teenagers, and almost everyone has a poster of the same person in their hands.


    There is still some distance to the end of the red carpet, but the model ship, which is more than 40 feet long, is very eye-catching. It can be called the focus of tonight. This should be the real model of the ship mentioned in the promotion. Apart from the size, it is no different from the big ship in the trailer.


    This ship is so eye-catching that many reporters kept pressing the shutter around it. Some curious stars will deliberately turn around it when they pass by.


    See this ship. Charlize couldn''t help thinking of the upcoming movie, with a total investment of 300 million US dollars. Looking at the world, besides him, who can have such confidence and courage?


    Beckoning around, Charlize Theron quickly walked to the interview area. She could feel that the eyes of those crazy female fans looking at her were not friendly...


    "Hello, Miss Charlize, before the Oscar, many people have seen you and Ryan go to the game together, and reporters have photographed you eating together, are you dating?"


    The other party has been hiding on a private island in Hawaii to shoot "Jurassic Park 2", and now it appears here, these reporters will certainly not let her go.


    "There is definite news. You got the heroine of "Jurassic Park 2" because of Ryan''s recommendation. How far have you developed..."


    Listening to the shouting around, Charlize Theron frowned slightly. If she could, she really didn¡¯t want to make any response, and then used their hype to create an illusion and established fact. However, another protagonist of the gossip could be Not an ordinary person, in case it arouses his resentment...


    "We are just ordinary friends, watching football together is just a common hobby."


    After a brief explanation, Charlize Theron ignored the reporter''s clamor, and walked towards the model ship, but his mind flew to other places.


    Since the news of his friendship with Ryan Jenkins spread, the hidden difficulties and meaningful hints surrounding him disappeared in an instant, and his career seemed to have entered the fast lane. "Jurassic Park 2 "Before the filming was completed, the agent won an important role in another movie, and it was not the kind of vase.


    Charlize Theron is a smart woman among smart women. He naturally understands the reason for all this. If he can really hold him by his side, it will definitely make women all over the world jealous.


    The only pity is that he seems to be a little slow and conservative. Not only did he refuse his invitation several times, but he also...


    Suddenly, there was a huge commotion in the crowd around the door of the crew, and then they uttered a uniform shout. The sound of ¡®Ryan¡¯, like a churning ocean, could flood Los Angeles at any time.


    A slender hand waved in the air, and the people around the red carpet, as if they had received a call of duty, squeezed forward desperately. In just a short moment, the two walls of security personnel were affected by the huge impact. Shaky with the impact.


    "Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!"


    The monstrous sound suppressed all the noises and made people¡¯s ears buzzing and painful. Not only was the reporter a bit dumbfounded, even Charlize Theron was stunned, such a terrifying influence, such a huge appeal, Looking at the entire entertainment industry, who else can anyone besides Ryan Jenkins.


    Seeing enthusiastic fans about to rush into the red carpet, many older people appeared in the crowd. They kept shouting something, making calm gestures, reminding the surrounding companions not to overdo it. Shocked to the idol who stepped on the red carpet.


    "Ryan! Ryan! Ryan..."


    The vast majority of fans obviously have their own organization, although they still shout, they are no longer crowded.


    "God, his fans are not only fanatical, but they also have a certain degree of organization. It''s incredible."


    Charlize Theron is very envious. Fans are the foundation of celebrities. Without the support of fans, what would Hollywood stars be?


    Then, she focused her gaze on the man on the red carpet.


    The light gray casual suit was put on casually, the white shirt opened a button, and the slender collarbone was faintly visible, and the light brown short and medium hair hanging down in front of the forehead, it seemed not to be taken care of, but it seemed appropriate.


    Compared with the past, his current image is a bit less stable, but a bit more ostentatious, especially his upright figure, coupled with a determined face, coupled with the aura on his body, has a fatal attraction to women.


    Then, Charlize Theron looked to the other side. The Australian woman with the title of''Red Carpet Queen'' was holding his arm, smiling so coquettishly, as if she had the whole world.


    This kind of picture has been in the public eye since the 1990s. Everyone is accustomed to this pair of brothers and sisters walking arm in arm. Everyone knows that their feelings are deep enough to surpass most of the relatives in the world. younger brother.


    Perhaps it¡¯s a woman¡¯s unique instinct. Charlize Theron always felt that they were not only as simple as their siblings, but especially when they looked at each other. She always felt that there was something more in it, and Nicole Kidman. The faint rejection of myself is more like...


    "This is Ryan, this is America''s greatest genius in the 90s. It only took a piece of "Cat and Mouse Game" to restore its popularity. If "Titanic" is really as good as the propaganda, he can try to enter Lord of the White House."


    "The White House? Do you think the current person in the White House has such appeal?"


    "If Ryan made a few words to support him, that person''s approval rate would immediately rise by five percentage points..."


    Charlize Theron sighed slightly after listening to the vague discussions on the weekend. She signed with kk agency and had many connections with Jenkins Pictures. She faintly knew what the goal of Ryan and Cameron was in this movie. , If it can be achieved, where will he be pushed?


    Think about it, the world''s No. 1 and No. 2 grossing movies are all from his ideas and are inextricably linked to him...


    Shaking his head, Charlize Theron knew that something should not be anxious, otherwise even if he put all his emotions into it, he might not be able to respond in exchange.


    Finally, I glanced at the two people who were signing for the fans. Charlize Theron turned around and walked into the front hall of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood There are so many fans here today, if there weren¡¯t some before. People automatically help to maintain order, maybe they will mess up this premiere, maybe they will impact Nicole around him.


    After only signing a few names, Ryan picked up Nicole and walked to the interview area. Too much stay would only cause more trouble.


    "They are too fanatical, Ryan." Nicole held his arm tightly.


    "I hope there are no John Hinckley characters in it."


    As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Nicole''s face turned black, "We are in the interview area, Ryan!"


    "Ryan, I heard that your goal with James Cameron is to surpass "Jurassic Park" at the box office. Is this true?"


    "Do you think the film can recover up to 300 million US dollars of investment?"


    "Ryan, can you predict the box office of the first week of the movie? You put the premiere on June 4th, do you want to break the box office record of the first week of "Jurassic Park"?" ()

 Chapter 254： Set sail two

    The last person who asked the question was not an ordinary reporter, but a host of the TV station.


    Just like the premiere of "Jurassic Park", Ryan sold the broadcasting rights of the red carpet and the following press conference. The film invested such a huge amount of money and couldn''t put ads in it. Of course, you have to think about it. All means to recover the investment.


    He is not only a famous actor, he is also a well-known Hollywood movie investor. An investor who doesn''t care about profit and income is definitely not a qualified investor.


    Moreover, with "Jurassic Park" first, the contact between the crew and the TV station can be described as a hit.


    You know, the crew and the film companies that participated in the investment and production, as well as the major studios, have done their best to invite a large number of celebrities. It is no exaggeration to say that if someone blows up the Chinese theater, Hollywood will definitely fall into a trough, even for several years. It is difficult to turn over.


    Since it is the question asked by the partner, Ryan will naturally cooperate.


    "In my opinion, the so-called historical record has only one effect." He paused and waited for the surroundings to be completely quiet before saying, "That was something that was broken later."


    "So you think "Titanic" can break the record of "Jurassic Park"?" Many reporters'' eyes lit up.


    "Of course! No doubt."


    Ryan was extremely confident, took Nicole''s arm and turned and walked towards the theater.


    "Ryan, how many box offices do you think you can get in the first week?"


    "My bottom line is..." Ryan raised his hand behind his back and stretched out a slender finger. "One hundred million dollars!"


    "Wow~"


    Although thinking that he might say so. But after Ryan¡¯s voice came, these reporters immediately fell into madness. They didn¡¯t care about anything else, and wanted to get more exciting news out of his mouth. Nearly a hundred people were in a fan shape, like half of the high tide of the sea, toward Ryan and Nicole flooded in.


    There is no need to look back, Ryan also knows what effect his words will bring. He took Nicole and hurried a few steps, and walked into the wall set by the security staff.


    Although the reporter was blocked by a human wall, the chaotic scenes caused chaos at the entrance of the theater. The crew had to cancel the routine group photo and withdraw into the theater as soon as possible.


    "Ryan, you messed up our photo and should make compensation."


    Kate Winslet in a Chinese dress joked as he walked, "We are like a group of deserters. Or deserters defeated by reporters."


    "Can we make it up later, or you go to chase them away?" Ryan''s words caused the entire crew to laugh.


    Enter the front hall of the theater. It can be said that there are celebrities everywhere. There are both big stars in front of the stage, producers behind the scenes, and high-level film companies. Even people like Michael Eisner who don''t deal with Ryan have accepted the invitation.


    After all, this is an unprecedented giant system. Information feedback from all aspects is likely to achieve unprecedented success!


    Ryan can''t control what others think and think, but he is full of confidence.


    The movie is good enough. Not inferior to the previous life, he also deliberately put the premiere on Wednesday night. In terms of publicity and marketing, not only has invested a huge amount of money, but also almost achieved the current extreme. Whether it is in the North American market or the main overseas markets, the shadow of the Titanic can be seen everywhere.


    The crew also has several other advantages. The most typical one is Ryan himself. The influence and appeal he has now is definitely not comparable to that of Xiao Li in the same period in his previous life.


    Having said that, why Ryan filmed "Cat and Mouse Game" before this movie, restoring popularity and strengthening his appeal is one of the reasons.


    Since others are willing to come to join us, whether sincerely or not, Ryan, as the host, must be polite. When he went around in the hall and returned to Nicole, the Australian girl was chatting with Linda Hamilton. what.


    You can see from Linda Hamilton''s expression that she doesn''t seem to be happy, but is just laughing hard.


    In fact, Ryan can guess a little bit, the crew is very mixed, and some situations will inevitably come out. Maybe she has noticed James Cameron¡¯s love affairs, and she can bear it until now. It is estimated that she wants to save this few years. feeling.


    Unfortunately, liking the new and disgusting the old is a common problem for all men in the world.


    Nicole talked a few words with the other party, and when she saw Ryan, she walked over and asked with a smile, "Tired?"


    "a little bit."


    Communication is a laborious activity. Ryan simply took Nicole to a quiet corner, "Fortunately, we are only one of the masters."


    The film is a joint investment, and it is not just Jenkins Pictures that invites guests.


    As if not hearing Ryan''s words, Nicole''s eyes fell on James Cameron and Linda Hamilton who were not far away, and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly.


    "There seems to be a problem between Linda and Jim."


    "It''s normal. After all, there are few men who can withstand the temptation." Ryan doesn''t care much. Hollywood''s division and reunification are normal. "Jim is talented and capable, and he is still a great director in Hollywood. Some women took the initiative to pursue him..."


    "Ryan, are you talking about yourself?" Nicole interrupted him, her light blue eyes flickering, "Or, are you looking for a reason for yourself?"


    "I..." Ryan rolled his eyes and cautiously tentatively said, "Nicole, you know, this circle is very complicated, if...I mean, just in case..."


    "There is no if, and there is no in case." Nicole''s tough character finally appeared. She didn''t give him any reason or excuse. "If something like this really happens, you''d better pray that you can hide it from me for a lifetime, otherwise... ¡­"


    Nicole grinds her white teeth, and the warning and sternness are self-evident.


    "Ryan, I believe you won''t let me down, will you?" After the big stick is a sweet date, Nicole looks like I believe you very much.


    I was so dizzy that I asked such a silly question! Ryan scolded himself in his heart, not knowing what to say.


    He can deal with everyone hypocritically, but he doesn''t want to deceive the two people who grew up with him, just the turbulent heart of the man...


    Nicole stared at him closely, as if waiting for a promise, and seemed to want to see something from it.


    "Hi, Ryan, and Nicole."


    The voice of a woman saying hello sounds like a natural sound to Ryan, and he quickly turned his head, "Hello, Charlie."


    "Hello, Charlize."


    The moment the two women shook hands, they frowned at the same time, and at the same time they burst into socializing smiles.


    "Although I haven''t seen the preview, I believe this will be a masterpiece." Charlize Theron obviously didn''t mean to leave immediately. "I heard Stephen say that you took his role in the next movie?"


    "Ryan, Harvey is here." Nicole pulled his arm down calmly.


    An apologetic gesture was made to Charlize Theron, Ryan turned his head to look, and saw Harvey Weinstein, a fat man, leading another fat man, walking towards him and Nicole.


    Another one who came here on the initiative? A smile came out of Ryan''s mouth.


    "Ryan, this is Peter Jackson, a director from New Zealand." Harvey Weinstein introduced the two sides, "Peter, this is Ryan and this is Nicole."


    "Let me think about it." After the two parties exchanged greetings, Ryan tapped his head with his fingers, "I should have seen your movie, "The Corpses Played in the World", is that the name?"


    "Yes!" Peter Jackson nodded, but the image of his face and beard is indeed a little worse. "That was a movie from a few years ago. Actually, I was in touch with Pie Jinsi last year. Ms. Li..."


    "I know." Ryan reached out and interrupted him. "It''s "Lord of the Rings," right? Peter, frankly speaking, I won''t transfer the film adaptation rights."


    Only idiots will sell the adaptation rights of this movie when the cg technology is becoming more and more mature. Apart from anything else, the original sellers regretted it a long time ago and gave up the potentially even greater gains for the huge immediate benefits.


    "My studio can make a short film of about five minutes, about "Lord of the Rings", and then you can make a judgment, Ryan, believe me, I can turn this great novel into an equally great movie."


    To some extent, Peter Jackson can be regarded as a fan of "Lord of the Rings".


    "Let''s do it, Peter, recently, I have been busy with publicity. I may not be free. We will talk about specific things in the next month or later." Ryan doesn''t want to make wedding dresses for others. "Film production Fang can only be Jenkins Pictures, and I will not give up the copyright."


    "Ryan..." Harvey Weinstein spoke first.


    "Harvey, don''t be so greedy." Ryan joked casually, and then asked seriously, "Are you sure that Miramax has enough funds to invest in two trilogy at the same time?"


    Needless to say, Harvey Weinstein also understands that this must be a big investment and a big production, unless there is a lot of money to raise money, otherwise Miramax has so much liquidity.


    "WellRyan, I''m waiting for your call." Peter Jackson breathed a sigh of relief.


    In the past, he had looked for Pie? Jinsli several times, the other party had no intention to talk about it, and finally got on the line of Harvey Weinstein, and it was the right choice to come directly to Ryan Jenkins. .


    "So, is Jenkins Pictures going to make a big move again?" Nicole said after thinking about it, "funds may be tight."


    "My dear, after the release of "Titanic", we will have hundreds of millions of liquidity."


    It was almost time, and Ryan took Nicole into the theater. Around their seats, they were all members of the crew. Most of these people had never seen the samples. At this time, they were nervous and looking forward to it. If this movie can really create unprecedented They will also become part of the record.


    The ceiling lights went out row by row, Paramount, Jenkins Pictures, Miramax and Twentieth Century Fox''s titles lighted up on the big screen one after another. Amidst the ethereal singing, a yellowed old lens reappeared. Now the Titanic and Southampton Port!


    At that time, the world''s largest, unsinkable giant wheel, begin! ()

 Chapter 255： Sailing three

    "It''s finally about to start!"


    Just before the screen transition, Ryan clearly heard James Cameron''s muttering voice, no wonder this is the case, this film exhausted his efforts, and even publicly declared that no more movies will be made in three years.


    Shaking his head, Ryan flipped his hands and grabbed Nicole''s drooping hand. The two clasped their fingers together and clasped them tightly. The unpleasantness of the previous moment disappeared without a trace.


    The film adopts a reversed structure. It started in 1996. A more advanced deep-sea exploration vessel dived into the Atlantic Ocean to a depth of 2,600 feet. The expedition team in the cabin was looking for a priceless diamond in the sinking Titanic. ¡ª¡ªThe Heart of the Sea.


    The expedition team found a safe, and when they got on the ship, they knocked it open with expectation, but found that there was only a pool of useless mud and a drawing.


    After the drawing was cleaned up, it could be seen that it was a portrait of a **** woman, and the heart of the sea of ??diamonds that they were looking for was hanging on the neck of the woman.


    After the salvage operation was broadcast on TV, it attracted the attention of an old lady with gray hair and wrinkles on her face. She called herself Ruth and said that the woman in the painting was her.


    In order to find the whereabouts of "Heart of the Sea", the expedition team invited the old Ruth on the boat. Following her narration, a long-dust-covered story was slowly unfolded before the audience.


    "It''s been eighty-four years, and I can still smell the paint. The porcelain on the ship is new, and no one has used the bed sheets. The Titanic is called the dream ship, and it deserves its name..."


    In Ruth''s narration, the camera was switched, and the broken shipwreck instantly turned into the upcoming luxury ship in 1912, and the Southampton Pier was crowded with people.


    "God, it''s so magnificent!" A faintly admiring voice sounded.


    The 17-year-old Ruth is wearing a white dress and a purple top hat. She looks extraordinarily rich and elegant, and this dress shows her identity as a daughter of a famous family.


    She accompanied her mother and held her fianc¨¦ Carl to board the "Titanic", preparing to get married in the United States.


    "The Titanic is no big deal..."


    Just one line clearly expressed the character of this girl.


    At this time, on the dock, poor boy Jack and his friend gambled with two Russians, and they unexpectedly won tickets for the "Titanic", and the two men caught up with the ship in time. The crew was also worried that there were lice on their bodies, which shows that people''s hierarchical concept was very serious at that time.


    The accommodation conditions of Jack and Ruth further reflected the inequality of identities. Jack and they can only live in the cramped sleeper on the lower level. The first-class private rooms of Ruth and her fiance are magnificent, spacious and bright.


    The class disparity is obviously one of the obstacles to Jack and Ruth''s love.


    The huge ship lifted anchor and slowly left Southampton Port. The comparison with the wooden sailboat and the small steamer successively highlighted the magnificence and hugeness of this ship. This is a masterpiece of industrial civilization.


    Subsequently, the film used several panoramic shots to show the full picture of the Titanic, which was well-deserved number one in the world in 1912.


    Even looking at it from Ryan''s eyes, the special effects are a bit behind. But in this era, this effect is shocking. Just look at the reflection of the audience in the theater with their mouths open.


    The Titanic is driving in the vast ocean, the sea is calm, and the ship is peaceful, as if this scene will continue until the end of its maiden voyage, until it arrives in New York, and accepts the cheers of the world.


    "I am the king of the world!"


    Ryan''s shout was so open-minded and fun, it made people happy.


    "My dear, you are so handsome." Nicole''s hand seemed a bit dishonest.


    "Really, Nicole?" Ryan reached her ear and whispered deliberately, "There is a lounge above."


    Of course, this is just a joke among lovers.


    The life of the upper class is full of hypocrisy and restraint in Ruth¡¯s eyes. She is looking forward to freedom all the time. In contrast, Jack lives very comfortable, sitting on the ship¡¯s side to paint when nothing is wrong. Chat with people you know and so on.


    And when Jack saw Ruth accidentally, he was immediately attracted. This is probably the so-called love at first sight.


    That night, Ruth finally couldn''t help it, and ran to the stern, preparing to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. Jack arrived on the spot to persuade Ruth not to commit suicide, but it had no effect.


    "You jump, and I jump too!" He said so swearingly.


    Ruth finally changed her mind and dispelled the thought of suicide. However, if the scene of the two people''s acquaintance ends in this way, it would be too flat, so the dog blood happened. When Ruth wanted to climb the railing and return to the stern, she kicked She stepped on the air and almost fell into the sea, but Jack struggled to rescue her, but the crew on duty at night was alarmed.


    They thought that Jack had done something wrong with Ruth and immediately handcuffed him. Ruth made up a lie in a hurry to set Jack free.


    This was their first meeting. It can be said that each of them saved each other once, which laid the foundation for future contacts.


    Carl also invited Jack to the first-class banquet, and wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate him, Jack, who was unknown, nodded and agreed.


    The next day Ruth came to see Jack to thank him and found out his painting talent. Ruth liked Monet¡¯s painting very much. The two people have a common hobby and have a basis for communication, and their chat was both pleasant and pleasant. Unpleasant.


    When Jack asked Ruth if she loved her fiance, she appeared very helpless, and when Jack taught her to spit into the sea, she was full of joy.


    Mrs. Molly admired Jack¡¯s righteousness very much. Before the dinner, he put on a dress for Jack and dressed him handsomely. In this way, Jack mixed into the upper class and felt the luxurious dinner of the nobles for the first time. He was very smart. Actively learning the etiquette of the upper class, many people think that he may be a newly-rising Xiaokai.


    After the meal, Jack Yorus attended a party belonging to their lower class. The two of them danced in the noisy crowd and had a great time. Although the people here are humble, they have this kind of pure happiness, full of joy. Real, not everyone wears a mask.


    Despite the obstruction of their mothers and the huge gap in status, the two young men who burst into fierce feelings still fell in love, so the most **** and most attractive scene of the whole movie appeared.


    Jack and Ruth stood on the bow, facing the sunset, spread their arms, and kissed each other in the wonderful feeling of flying. The movie used a 360-degree bird''s-eye view lens to fully show this picture.


    "Somewhat deliberately." Nicole suddenly said.


    "It''s a bit deliberate, but such a beautiful and graceful picture is enough to make people feel tempted by it." Ryan said with a light smile, "Trust me, Nicole, this will definitely become one of the most classic shots in film history."


    "Hmm~"


    Next? The next paragraph is naturally the painting paragraph.


    Although Kate Winslet is almost naked, the picture is still beautiful, and through the dialogue of the elderly Ruth, the audience''s appetite is stunned.


    As a result, the scene in the car, although only the tired hand and the sweaty head close-up of the two, has become the best scene of many young boys and girls fantasizing.


    Some people may think that this will destroy the previous aesthetic feeling, but this movie is mainly aimed at the West, and several regions that have been profoundly influenced by Western culture. If the hero and the heroine do not even have substantial contact, they will be separated from life and death. Invite abuse from the audience.


    Just when the love between Jack and Ruth reached its peak, the film changed its tone very naturally. The audience immersed in the affectionate feelings woke up. This is the Titanic that hit the iceberg!


    "Oh my god!"


    Listening to the audience¡¯s voice, you can also know that the Titanic inevitably crashed into an iceberg, and three cargo warehouses and six boiler rooms were flooded. Chief designer Thomas Andrews announced that the Titanic would sink in at most two hours. Into the Atlantic Ocean!


    "As long as it is made of steel! I promise, it will sink to the bottom of the sea!"


    A disaster kicked off, which showed not only the love between Jack and Ruth, but also the humanity in the disaster.


    But at this moment, Carl wanted to "catch the thief". He lied that his "Heart of the Sea" had been stolen, and sent someone to quietly put the diamond in Jack''s pocket. Just like that, it was reasonable to say no. Qing''s Jack was handcuffed and held in a room on the ground floor.


    He must kill Jack to give up.


    In the end, Ruth gave up the opportunity to board the lifeboat, risked her life, rescued Jack from the bottom bin, and staged a beauty to save the hero.


    Originally Ruth was still able to escape the danger, but she resolutely gave up the lifeboat and hugged the coming Jack. Love gave them the courage to face the challenge of life and death together.


    By this time, the audience familiar with the Hollywood-style plot began to realize that Jack and Ruth are very likely to be a tragedy...


    In the thrilling adventure, some people are afraid, some are greedy, some give up, and some are sticking to their posts. Even if they understand that their performance may not have any effect, the band still sticks to their posts and wants to use music to calm people''s panic.


    The plot here shows the glorious side of human nature. Just like in historical records, the crew did not take the lead to escape. They tried their best to maintain order, allowing women and children to board the lifeboat first. Looking at the entire history of shipwrecks, although it is not unique, it is Very rare.


    None of the chief mate, captain, and chief designer escaped, and even the first mate committed suicide because of manslaughter of innocent people.


    The Titanic was about to sink. Jack and Ruth fled to the high stern of the ship. This is where they met, and it is likely to be the place where they ended up.


    The beginning means the end. Isn¡¯t that sighing. ()

 Chapter 256：

    Due to the heavy flooding of the bow of the Titanic, the ship''s hull was seriously tilted, and the ship''s side became a cliff standing in the Atlantic Ocean. Many people who did not grasp it slipped down and fell to pieces.


    The terrible cry can''t be stopped and it is shocking!


    The camera specifically highlights the individual here. The pastor is still praying for his people. A mother clings to her child tightly. Some people drink and become courageous, while others simply jump into the sea, but unfortunately hit him. The blades of the propeller.


    This moment is the farewell to life and death!


    As the ship could not bear the weight of the stern, the ship broke from the middle, the bow was completely submerged in the water, and the stern was almost vertical and quickly sank into the sea. The scene of the shipwreck was the focus of the whole film. Computer cg technology and realistic models made the shipwreck extremely shocking. Human heart, giving people an unprecedented visual experience.


    "Oh, God!" Such exclaims came and went one after another in the theater.


    In this day and age, being able to reproduce a huge shipwreck with such realistic technology is definitely the pinnacle of film technology. Without Ryan¡¯s support of hundreds of millions of dollars, there would be no such a shocking scene. .


    Not to mention the shocked audiences, many of the cast and crew who participated in the filming watched the film for the first time, and they were also in shock.


    "God, did James do this?" Nicole shook Ryan''s hand without restraint.


    More than 1,500 passengers fell into the water, and the magnificent and tragic scene made people stunned.


    However, the audience is most concerned about the fate of the hero and heroine. Where should Jack and Ruth go?


    "Don''t let go of my hand!"


    "I will never let go!"


    Just as Jack and Ruth vowed, they sank along with the stern of the ship to the bottom of the sea. The churning currents of the wreck still tore the hands of the men and women, and the cold water ruthlessly engulfed human life.


    Jack and Ruth met again in the water close to freezing point. When Ruth climbed onto the wooden plank, the applause in the theater gradually rang, and the sympathetic audience seemed to be grateful for the two people to get rid of the disaster.


    however. The plank was too small to bear the weight of two people. Jack could only let Ruth lie on it, soaking himself in the cold water, hoping that the rescue boat would appear in time.


    As time went by, the rescue boat did not appear, and more and more people were frozen to death in the sea. Jack''s face was pale and his hair was covered with ice. What was said was not only intermittent, but also weak...


    The audience realized something at this time, and many people couldn''t help covering their mouths. Especially Ryan''s fans. Tears were already in his eyes, and he seemed afraid to watch the next scene.


    "You have to do me a favor, Ruth, promise me that I must live..."


    "Jack, I love you!"


    "Don''t... don''t do this, Ruth. Don''t say goodbye, it''s not time yet..."


    "I feel very cold..."


    "Listen to me, Ruth, you must be out of danger and you want to live. Give birth to many children and watch them grow up. You will live your old age and rest in a warm bed instead of being here tonight, not in In this cold water."


    "Jack...I lost my senses."


    "Winning a ticket to the Titanic is the best and luckiest thing in my life. Thank God for letting me know you! Ruth, you must do me a favor and promise me no matter what happens next, no matter how desperate I am Don''t give up! Promise me, Ruth! Never give up your promise to me!"


    "I promise you, Jack!"


    "Never give up, Ruth..."


    "I will not give up, Jack, I will never give up!" The hands of the two were tightly clasped together.


    With the dialogue between the two, the sobbing in the theater became louder and louder, and many people began to wipe their eyes...


    The rescue ship arrived late, and all they saw were corpses floating in the sea. They shouted, wanting to find survivors.


    Ruth heard the call of the rescuers and happily wanted to wake up Jack. However, the lover who almost turned into an ice sculpture connected to her, couldn''t open her eyes anymore...


    Sicel''s chanting sounded again, with sorrow in the ethereal, like an audience watching this short and fierce love.


    "I will never give up! I promise you!" Ruth broke off her hand holding her tightly, and kissed hard, "I will never give up!"


    The frozen face slowly sank into the water, the camera zoomed further and further, and finally Jack disappeared from the audience''s field of vision.


    "God! God! Why... why can''t they be together!" The sobbing in the theater became more and more obvious.


    Nicole couldn''t help covering her mouth. She had seen this story as early as when the script was born, but the text was as powerful as the screen. Besides, she is now immersed in a sweet love affair and her feelings. Deeper and more complicated.


    "Ryan, why... why can''t you let them be together." Nicole asked a silly remark.


    "Only tragedy can become a classic." Ryan told an accepted fact.


    Ruth blew the life-saving whistle, she fulfilled her promise to Jack, she was rescued...


    "When the Titanic sank, 1,500 people fell into the sea. There were 20 lifeboats nearby. Only one turned around. Six people were rescued. 1,500 people including me, only six survived. !" The screen switched back to Elder Ruth again, and she recounted what happened later.


    The Capesia finally arrived. More than 700 people on the lifeboat waiting for a fate decision were rescued. Ruth hid among the passengers in the lower class, avoiding Karl''s search.


    "Dawson! Ruth Dawson!"


    The ship arrived in New York, and when the crew came to register, Ruth changed Jack''s surname. He will always live in her heart.


    "A man named Jack Dawson saved me. He completely saved me, but I don''t even have a picture of him. He only lives in my memory now..."


    Where is the "Heart of the Sea"? It was still preserved by Ruth. The elderly Ruth took it and slowly stepped on the fence of the ship, and piously dropped this valuable sapphire into the sea where the Titanic sank. May it and Jack''s spirit in the sky is with him.


    In Ruth''s sleep, the picture returned to the Titanic again. In the magnificent hall, Jack and Ruth kissed passionately, and everyone around them cheered and applauded.


    Whether this is Ryan and Cameron wanting to satisfy the audience''s wishes, or is it a sign that the whole story is just a dream, it needs to be interpreted by the audience.


    Screenwriter and producer-Ryan Jenkins, director and producer-James Cameron...


    Just as the letters appeared, the prelude to the Irish whistle sounded, and "My Heart Eternal" played for the first time in its entirety.


    In the past life, the movie''s release date has been delayed repeatedly, resulting in the theme song being marketed earlier than the movie. The situation in this life is naturally different.


    Listening to Celine Dion¡¯s singing like the sound of heaven, the people in the theater could not be calm for a long time, Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron joined forces to dedicate a great masterpiece!


    Yes it is! The whole movie is much more exciting than the trailer, better than the publicity report, and even far beyond their imagination!


    We want to read it again! This is the thinking of ordinary viewers.


    This is the greatest commercial movie of the nineties! This is the idea in the minds of professionals, and perhaps the greatest commercial movie ever!


    Of course, if you want them to firm up this idea, it depends on the follow-up box office.


    The singing stopped, the letters disappeared, and the theater regained its light. Ryan couldn''t help but look back, keenly aware that the eyes of many people behind him were still glowing like Nicole.


    "Wow~"


    The applause surged like a tide, getting higher and louder, and it seemed that only in this way could they express their feelings for this movie.


    No one wanted to leave, no one even left their seats. They slapped their palms vigorously, even if their hands were red and painful, they didn''t want to stop.


    The enthusiastic applause lasted for nearly ten minutes, and there was still no tendency to stop. The crew pressed their lips tightly, and they gradually realized that they might really create a miracle...


    "Ryan!"


    James Cameron gestured to Ryan from a seat, and Ryan nodded immediately.


    At this time, the crew could no longer follow the established process, and it became a necessary choice to step onto the stage and call the audience.


    Ryan took the lead, James Cameron and Jon Landau then, the entire crew filed out and walked onto the stage in front of the big screen, forming a long line.


    A theater staff member delivered a few microphones in time. After Ryan took it, he bowed slightly to the stage, and then said, "Thank you! Thank you for your recognition of "Titanic"! Thank you everyone for over three years. Recognition of coming to work hard!"


    However, apart from the front row, not many people heard his words at all, because the applause overwhelmed everything, and the recognition of the film by audiences and professionals exceeded everyone''s imagination!


    There was no way, the crew had to arm their hands, bowing to the curtain again and again in exchange for more enthusiastic applause and applause!


    In the crowd, despite reluctance, Michael Eisner slowly clapped his palms. When was the last time such a lively scene appeared? He didn''t remember it himself.


    Although I don¡¯t want to admit it, I still sighed. Ryan Jenkins seems to be about to perform a miracle again!


    Shirley Lansing, Harvey Weinstein and other senior executives of the film company sat together, hearing such warm applause and seeing such a long curtain call, they were no less excited than the crew on stage.


    Isn''t it... Is it really like Ryan said, they want to create a record like "Jurassic Park"?


    In the front row, only the female companions of Nicole and other crew members were left. They looked at their lovers on the stage and were deeply proud of them!


    I don''t know how long it lasted, and the applause finally stopped, but no one was willing to leave!


    In desperation, Ryan and others discussed it, and simply changed the press conference after the premiere here, just waiting for the TV camera to be in place! ()

 Chapter 257： Set sail five

    "To put it simply, we want to pay tribute to love and life through the movie!" When facing the reporters crowded to the front row, Ryan talked freely. His face had already been developed. At this time, Dong Lasi talked about the so-called purpose of making this movie.


    "Our purpose of making this film is not only to show the dramatic destruction of this infamous ship, but also to show her short, brilliant life, to capture the beauty of the Titanic, her passengers and all staff. Vitality, hope and confidence, and in the process of revealing the dark side of mankind, extol the infinite potential of the human spirit. "Titanic" is not just a warning story¡ªa myth, fable, and metaphor about human misfortune, it is A story of faith, courage, sacrifice and love."


    "Do you think the movie has reached the predetermined goal?" a reporter asked.


    "I think the film exceeded my expectations, especially the audience''s reaction, which gave me a shocking feeling. They are the criteria for judging the quality of the film." Ryan first complimented the audience on the stage, and then transferred it in a timely manner. The topic is, "Without director Cameron, there would be no "Titanic", without the efforts of the entire crew, and also without everyone seeing the giant system."


    "Ryan..."


    "Director Cameron, it is said that you have been preparing for this movie since 1993..."


    "Miss Winslet, you had severe pneumonia during the filming. Can you talk about the situation at that time..."


    "Celine, Miss Celine Dion. Your singing is like a natural sound, and it is so beautiful that it is beyond words. Is this your pinnacle work?"


    The reporters would naturally not be around Ryan alone. They pestered other crew members and kept asking about topics of interest, wishing to dig out everything they had eaten during the filming.


    After more than an hour, the press conference was considered to have ended amidst turmoil, and the faces of everyone on the crew were exhausted. More is excitement.


    "It''s really hard to imagine, they are so enthusiastic, they are going crazy..."


    When she walked out of the theater hall, Kate Winslet was still feeling that she was treated as a Hollywood superstar for the first time tonight.


    "Kate, maybe you can continue to work with Jim." Ryan joked.


    "No! Never!" Kate Winslet said without hesitation, "Even if I can win the Oscar, I don''t want to continue working with James."


    Listen to her say so, including James Cameron. Everyone laughed, and the huge pressure hung over the crew has gradually dissipated since tonight.


    "Jim. Even though I said it before. I still want to say it again."


    Before walking out of the theater, Ryan looked at James Cameron and said very seriously, "Jim, you did a great job!"


    "Ryan, this is what I want to tell you!"


    The hands of two men, one old and one young, were tightly clasped together. Ryan suddenly felt that the scene was full of emotions, and went to the fair to let go, "Jim, guess what, how much will I pay you at the box office in the end?"


    "The more the better. Isn''t it?" The two of them had already walked to the entrance of the theater. The sound of one after another outside was deafening.


    "Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!"


    Needless to say, a large number of fans must have surrounded the entrance of the theater.


    "Good luck, dear."


    Including Nicole, everyone was far away from the center of the vortex, Ryan shrugged helplessly, and walked out indefinitely.


    To put it in exaggeration, this is a war. The reporter paparazzi and crazy fans will not let him go easily. When Ryan gets in the car and returns to Beverly Hills, it is already close to midnight.


    "My dear, you are back late."


    Nicole was wearing home clothes and was lying on the sofa in the living room, enjoying the supper, with some moist hair, proving that she had taken a shower.


    "They are crazy." Ryan sat next to her, dissatisfied with Nicole''s private escape, "You should stay with me, dear Nicole."


    "Are you hungry, what do you want to eat?" Nicole didn''t care about Ryan''s complaint, and handed over a chocolate pie.


    "what¡­"


    Ryan pointed to his open mouth, Nicole rolled his eyes and stuffed the small chocolate pie into his mouth.


    "It tastes good, Lisa''s craftsmanship is getting better and better."


    "Hmm~"


    Nicole just responded, that familiar face was already in front of her, and before she had any reaction, her soft lips were blocked, and the sweet taste filled her entire mouth.


    Lowering her body, Nicole fell into a broad embrace, with her hands walking back and forth between the opponent''s chest and abdomen, and her flexible tongue was unwilling to be passive. She had already become an aggressor and swept through the familiar space. Everywhere in it, two rows of white teeth, biting his lips from time to time, seemed to want to swallow Ryan into his stomach.


    Fiery feelings can only be expressed and vented in one way.


    "Hold me upstairs, Ryan!" Nicole''s tongue was spinning around Ryan''s ears.


    "With great pleasure, my princess."


    Holding his slender body horizontally, Ryan strode towards the second floor.


    "No, Ryan!" Nicole''s hand has been put down, and her mouth murmured, "You should call me Your Majesty the Queen!"


    Perhaps it was because of too much hard work and effort last night. After Ryan woke up the next day, the sun filled the windows and the surroundings were empty. Nicole seemed to have gotten up long ago.


    "God, a crazy woman is terrible!"


    Ryan rubbed his waist. It was probably that the love in the movie had infected Nicole. She asked for it madly last night, so Ryan, who could conquer her with little effort before, had to look at him with admiration.


    "Hi, dear." Nicole leaned against the door of the bedroom with a pile of newspapers. "Fresh film reviews, do you want to hear?"


    "Of course!" Just before Ryan nodded, Nicole walked to the side of the bed, half-lengthed into his arms, "Listen to who?"


    "Chicago Tribune. Roger Albert!"


    "Okay." Nicole flipped through the pages, found the most comfortable position, and read aloud.


    "The most expensive movie in film history! The unsinkable love swan song on the sinking ship! A warning proverb that humans examine their own inferiority in time! An immortal legend that encompasses faith, courage, sacrifice and love! This is Ryan ?Jenkins and James Cameron joined forces to bring us "Titanic"!"


    "Before the premiere, I wanted to go over and say hello to him, but I didn''t expect him to be late." Ryan had long wanted to meet the most famous film critic in the industry.


    "I''m probably afraid that it will affect her reputation for fairness and justice." Nicole frowned, threw back the hand that fell on her chest and continued to read the film review.


    "The sinking of the Titanic was a tragedy at the beginning of the 20th century. However, the film presents the love, friendship and disaster of the Titanic less than five days after the Titanic set sail with real historical facts and a fictional love story to this generation at the end of the century. In front of people. It tells us a truth-we must cherish life!"


    "The plot design of the movie is flawless and the suspense is cleverly laid out. The actors headed by Ryan Jenkins and Kate Winslet gave heavyweight performances. This movie is fascinating! Whether it is the plot of the movie or the legend of the story itself , I was deeply moved!"


    "Perhaps there were doubts about this movie before, but after watching the movie last night, I think "Titanic" will definitely become a legend in movie history. It deserves two thumbs!"


    "Roger Albert not only raised two thumbs very rarely. He also gave the movie four stars." Nicole closed the newspaper and said, "The perfect score should be four stars, right?"


    "Hmm~"


    Ryan knew. With the new generation of Americans. As well as the rise of the Internet, traditional media and film critics will inevitably decline, but Roger Albert is one of the top figures in this industry, and his influence is beyond doubt. He has such a high degree of influence on movies. Evaluation will naturally affect the viewing choices of some people.


    "Go ahead. Nicole?" Ryan pointed to the pile of newspapers.


    "Okay." Nicole nodded, flipping other newspapers.


    "At the premiere last night, the crew only spent an hour on the curtain call. The audience''s enthusiastic applause lasted for a long time. "Titanic" conquered the audience with the most basic film language. There is no denying that this is one. A commercial blockbuster. The commercial color is very strong, but the respect for life, the appeal for humanity, the praise for love, the correct positioning of money, and the affirmation of morality have benefited us a lot, and it is worth remembering!"


    "This magnificent movie fully demonstrates how modern technology can contribute to the production of dramatic movies. James Cameron¡¯s digital field and Ryan Jenkins¡¯s Blue Sky Studio use the world¡¯s most The advanced special effects technology alone is worth the price of the movie!"


    "A variation of the story of Romeo and Juliet, but here is no longer a family struggle, but an obstacle to love by social class isolation. Frankly speaking, there is nothing new in the story of the movie. Ryan Jenkins once again took the old stereotype to the extreme. The story of the poor boy fell in love with the rich girl-is embedded in the new template. The only difference is that the template this time is the huge shipwreck in history. Just like the past, he again It succeeded once, combining James Cameron¡¯s pursuit of film technology and super-big scenes, and "Titanic" achieved a shocking premiere."


    "Wow, the three major newspapers are very optimistic about this movie." Ryan deliberately exaggerated praise, "The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and the New York Times praised a movie at the same time. Very rare."


    "There are also a lot of critics." Nicole picked up the newspaper and gestured, "Would you like to listen?"


    "Forget it." Ryan shook his head.


    Although there is never a lack of critical voices, the evaluation of "Titanic" by the media is unprecedentedly high. As for those media who have been attacking "Titanic", especially "New Englander" For the first batch, Ryan did not send out an invitation at all. They wanted to make their own voice, so they had to buy tickets to contribute to the box office.


    Even if they launch an attack, Ryan doesn''t care. The large advertising costs and public relations work for mainstream media have long been ahead of the major film companies. ()

 Chapter 258： Go ahead, big ship

    No matter how high the public opinion is, the primary condition for measuring the success of commercial films is always the box office. Otherwise, if a film is blown to the sky by critics and the audience does not buy it, the film company will still lose money or even go bankrupt.


    In the minds of people like Ryan, just look at the comments of film critics, don¡¯t care too much, as long as the box office can achieve a breakthrough, most people will still look at you with admiration, not to mention, percent What are the ninety-nine media, he doesn''t understand?


    After the premiere, the crew has a full day''s rest and then embarks on an intensive publicity journey.


    After breakfast, Nicole went to Jenkins Pictures to discuss the follow-up production of "Eileen Brockovich" with Steven Soderbergh, while Ryan sat at the desk and started the routine keyboard work. .


    At this time, he temporarily left the "Titanic" thing aside. Under his leadership, this film, from quality to publicity and marketing, can be said to be the ultimate today. He believes that the box office will not let himself down.


    Stepping into this famous theater on Long Island, Natalie can only smack her tongue secretly when she sees the long line in front of the ticket counter. Although she never scorns herself, she knows that the guy far away in Los Angeles is more appealing than I am too old.


    "Mom, here."


    Natalie took her mother, flexibly passed through the crowd, and walked towards the corresponding screening hall.


    "Nate, don''t blame your father, you know, this is not the movie you starred in. It''s normal for him to have no interest." Mrs. Shelly sighed. She didn''t want an irreconcilable conflict between her daughter and her husband.


    "I understand, mother."


    Although she ordered three movie tickets, her father refused to come to watch the movie. Natalie understood that her father didn''t like the entertainment industry. Since Ryan brought herself into Hollywood, her father has always been prejudiced against him.


    Forget it, I will move out in a few days, maybe the distance will really produce beauty! Natalie couldn''t help thinking of what Ryan had said.


    "Nate. Why are you distracted. The movie is about to begin."


    Mrs. Shelly pulled down and sat next to her daughter. Natalie smiled apologetically, "Mom, Ryan said "Titanic" will be the pinnacle of commercial movies."


    "Really? Let''s see how Ryan made a movie that took three years to produce."


    When the movie lasted for an hour and forty-five minutes, Natalie, who had been watching with frowning, was finally moved.


    "Oh, God!" The picture of the sinking ship shocked her.


    Then Natalie found that the people around her were worse than her, and many people covered their mouths. When Ryan and the woman fell into the water, tears filled the eyes of many girls.


    "No...no. Why...why does the script written by Ryan want to die!"


    "Their love is so touching, God, why can''t I meet such a boy."


    There was clearly a cry of crying in the auditorium, as well as words overwhelming the crying, "I want to watch it again! No... watch it twice, Ryan didn''t lie to us. "Titanic" is amazing!"


    Looking at the familiar face disappearing in the sea, even if she knew that this was only a movie scene, Natalie still covered her mouth. This scene reminded her of the events at the end of February. Ryan was like Jack protecting Ruth. , Do everything you can to protect yourself, even if you pay...


    "Nate!" The mother suddenly passed the tissue.


    "mom¡­¡­"


    Only then did Natalie find out, unknowingly. Tears have flowed down his cheeks.


    Seeing her daughter wipe away her tears, Mrs. Shelly gently rubbed her curly hair. Although her daughter was smart and precocious, she was a genius, but as a mother, she couldn''t see her thoughts, especially when she came back from Los Angeles last time. Rear.


    It''s just that two people with distinct personalities and many differences between them are really suitable? Mrs. Shelly was a little worried.


    "Quick, quick, go to the ticket office and ask if there are any tickets for the next show..."


    As soon as the movie subtitles came up, many people rushed out without even listening to the theme song. Natalie looked around and the auditorium was more than half empty in an instant.


    "Let''s go, mother." She was also not interested in listening. The original soundtrack Ryan had already been mailed over.


    Putting on her hat and sunglasses, she walked out of the screening hall, and when she passed the ticket office, Natalie glanced, her disappointed face filled her eyes, and the red letters hanging high at the ticket office were so conspicuous-"Titanic" ¡·Tickets are sold out today!


    He succeeded again! Natalie scratched her curly hair, and suddenly realized that she had used this ¡®aga¡¯ too many times, and too often.


    "Wait, mom." Just stepping out of the film industry, Natalie remembered that she should buy some accessories, which is considered support for him, "Let''s go to the boutique over there."


    As soon as she entered the boutique, Natalie saw a lot of people squeezed here, picking goods, waiting for payment, and preparing to leave. Most of these people have one thing in common, holding "Titanic" peripheral products in their hands.


    "There are too many people, Nat." Mrs. Shelly frowned. There were a large number of people who followed them in, many of whom hadn''t bought tickets in the theater, so they had to buy some nearby audiences first.


    "Let''s go, mother."


    Natalie pulled her hat, and there were all Ryan fans here. Once she was recognized, it was quite troublesome. "I''d better go back and call Ryan and ask him to mail a few copies of everything. "


    There are so many people! This is Natalie''s biggest impression after experiencing the cinema and boutiques.


    Out of the screening room, Gene rubbed his sour nose and sighed vigorously. Although he had enough imagination and overestimation in advance, the wonderfulness of the movie has already left him beyond words. Even such a movie It is also indescribable with a great maritime epic.


    "Gene, I hate Ryan now!" Suddenly, the red-eyed female companion said.


    "Why?" Gene is very strange, but his female partner is Ryan''s iron.


    "Why did he let his character die? Why did he leave a love full of regret..."


    "Okay!" Gene touched the ticket in his pocket, "If you don''t plan to watch it..."


    "What?" The female companion almost jumped up like her hair exploded. "Who said I don''t watch, I can''t help but watch it, I have to watch it ten times!"


    "Alright alright¡­¡­"


    Gene raised his hands, these words are not unfamiliar, and he has heard them many times after the film screening.


    At the beginning of the Hua Deng, sitting in the office boss chair, David Greene relaxed and comfortable drinking coffee, "Titanic" has been launched in North America, the sale of peripheral products has also kicked off, every three hours, the following The store will count the latest sales situation once in order to adjust the supply reserve.


    He just received a report from his assistant. The daytime sales statistics have been released. Although they are not as popular as "Jurassic Park", they have reached the highest sales of movie peripheral products in four years. If the movie can resemble "Jurassic Park". "Luo Ji Park" continues to be popular for three to four weeks, and the inventory in the warehouse will definitely be sold out.


    Perhaps after this time, their sales outlets can be expanded to areas outside of Greater Los Angeles? David Greene looked at the numbers on the report and understood that this was another good opportunity to make a fortune.


    It was close to midnight, and the luxurious office on the top floor of the Disney building was brightly lit. Michael Eisner slowly closed the phone and wrung his brows tightly.


    Although he attended the premiere of the movie last night, he also thought it was a masterpiece, but he always had a fascination. After all, if the movie suffered from Waterloo, it was the beginning of the collapse of the Ryan Jenkins alliance of interests, so that he would have it. The opportunity to start, don''t have to be so restrained as it is now, only use some useless in-game rules.


    The call came from a senior manager of Miramax and told him about the first day¡¯s box office. Even if it¡¯s too early to end today, 99% of the "Titanic" theaters were released, not only today¡¯s Tickets are gone, even tickets two to three days later are also gone.


    In this situation, Michael Eisner couldn''t help but think of a name-"Jurassic Park"!


    Now, the hot trend of "Titanic" is similar to that of "Jurassic Park" when it was released!


    If Ryan Jenkins led and starred in this movie, once again won more than one billion US dollars in the box office, then Warner, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox and Jenkins Pictures will definitely form an unbreakable alliance of interests. What will they use to deal with it? he?


    Do you really want that Italian to go through his **** and old bottom?


    The box office on the premiere day may exceed $22 million! Michael Eisner frowned, this number exceeded the box office of most movies in the first week!


    The most important thing is that the popularity of "Titanic" makes more theaters join the screening sequence. By the end of the week, the theaters are likely to be close to 4,000.


    It was close to midnight, and Nicole sat cross-legged next to Ryan, under her short and thin clothes, showing her beautiful figure, but it was a pity that the incomprehensible guy focused all her energy on the phone.


    If possible, Nicole really wants to turn off the mobile phone, unplug all the phone lines at home, and the two will be separated temporarily tomorrow. Is it possible that the last night of a happy life should be spent on the ringing of the phone?


    However, she could only sigh. The people who called Ryan at this time were all big Hollywood figures, such as Shirley Lansing, the director of Paramount Pictures, and even Summer Redstone. The media giants have only one purpose-congratulations!


    That''s right! Although the movie was only released for one day, the hotness of "Titanic" shocked the entire industry, especially the partners of Jenkins Pictures, and the common interests brought common joy.


    Can this movie really get the box office estimated by Ryan?


    Even with full confidence in Ryan, Nicole still had some doubts when thinking of the terrifying number. ()

 Chapter 259： First week box office

    "A love story worse than the shipwreck accident!"


    "The Titanic itself is a serious historical event worthy of our reflection, but Ryan Jenkins has incorporated a vulgar love story that lacks logical thinking into it. The film lacks enough creativity and is just a copy of old Hollywood love. Full of hypocrisy!"


    "The hero and the heroine are worse than the story. In the film, Ruth called Jack 80 times. That''s not even the number of times he called him Mr. Dawson, and Jack called Ruth fifty times."


    "These all show that the script is extremely lacking in dialogue for them to carry out. It can be seen that Ryan Jenkins''s inspiration that will never dry up has reached its limit. His talent and potential are far below our estimates. "Titanic" will be a testament to his downhill and failure!"


    After the film landed in North America across the board, the "Observing the Titanic" column of the "New Englander" made another offensive comment.


    "Historical mistakes in the movie can be seen everywhere. This huge system that took several years and hundreds of millions of dollars will only make people feel extremely disappointed. Perhaps it is because Ryan Jenkins has never been able to find his own love, "Titanic" "Too much emphasis on romantic ideals, while ignoring the selfless virtues of credibility, responsibility and heroism that we have always mentioned and cared about!"


    "In addition, there are performances by Ryan Jenkins and Kate Winslet, which are simply useless..."


    These critical remarks are mixed in various praises. Although they are uncomfortable to see, they have nothing to do with the overall situation, even if they shout again. Any more criticizing remarks will not stop the audience''s enthusiasm for watching movies.


    Especially as time passed day by day, the film produced a huge good reputation. This power of word of mouth, the direct effect brought by it, even surpassed any propaganda.


    There are no accidents and no exceptions, just this summer. There was once again a terrifying wave of queuing in front of theaters across the United States.


    "I want to watch it again!"


    This sentence became the most popular and common language among moviegoers, even if they were heartbroken and weeping during the movie.


    In this country, monetary gains can almost overwhelm everything. Seeing "Titanic" is so hot, more theaters have joined the ranks of negotiations, including many theater companies that are deeply influenced by Disney.


    When the time came to the last day of this weekend, the number of movie theaters in North America increased from about 3,500 to close to 3,900. Hundreds of theaters are still negotiating, and the number of theaters to be released next week may reach an alarming number.


    The fiery rhythm has brought a lot of work. But whether it is Jenkins Pictures. It is also a film company such as Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox. All the staff involved in the release of this film are very enthusiastic.


    The motivation to make history is amazing, and the motivation to get high bonuses after the movie''s big sales is also amazing!


    "Ryan, our copy is a bit tight."


    In the lounge of the largest theater in Pittsburgh, Jon Landau was a little worried. "At present, we are still stepping up production, afraid that time will be too late."


    "Allow staff to work overtime, pay is not a problem."


    Sitting in the chair in front of the glass window, listening to the loud thunder and rain outside, frowned. "Jon, when does the weather forecast say the rain will stop?"


    "It will last for two to three days." Speaking of rain. Jon Landau was more helpless than Ryan.


    After the crew left Los Angeles, they headed straight to the east coast. The entire publicity itinerary only took a city, and encountered extremely bad weather. Thunderstorms enveloped the northeastern part of the United States, flights to Pennsylvania, New York, and other regions, and almost all flights were cancelled. , The crew is temporarily trapped here.


    Opening the window, thick moisture and rumbling thunder came in at the same time. Ryan looked at the front of the theater. Hundreds of people were hurried away, but more people stayed in front of the theater, waiting. Purchase tickets to watch "Titanic" again.


    Seeing these people, Ryan couldn''t help thinking of the meeting of the crew just now. The horrible scene scared almost everyone.


    Think about it, nearly a thousand girls chanted a person''s name, waiting to rush to the stage to **** him home, the scene is absolutely shuddering.


    There are even a lot of crazy women who took off their shirts on the spot and showed the words ¡®r-y-a-n¡¯ tattooed on their chests to the camera lens.


    "Ryan, as long as you want, these girls will definitely wait in line to enter your room." This is what James Cameron deliberately mocked at the end of the event.


    "It''s not just them, there are a lot of girls waiting in Hollywood." Kate Winslet also teased.


    The rain did not weaken at all. After someone came to inform, Ryan and the others got into the car from the back door of the theater. Just about to leave quietly, a large number of paparazzi poured out, and the flashing light almost illuminated the gloomy sky. , The problem that was thrown like a cascading gun, even the loud thunder was suppressed.


    "Mr. Jenkins, it''s June 8th and the last day of the week. How much is "Titanic" at the box office? How much is your estimate before the premiere?"


    "Ryan, the "New Englander" once again issued a criticizing comment, believing that the recent achievements of the film are entirely a victory of computer technology. It will certainly not last long. There will be a huge drop in movie box office next week. What do you think?"


    "Ryan! Ryan! Mr. Gary Graham of The New York Times, thinks that your performances in "Cat and Mouse" and "Titanic" are a disaster. Do you respond?"


    Listening to the sound from the outside of the car, Ryan lowered the window, and the reporters, regardless of the pouring rain, immediately squeezed dozens of small tape recorders in front of him.


    "The box office of the first week of the movie will be announced tomorrow. Everyone just needs to wait a while. Patience is a virtue." Ryan started to talk again, and the reporters rolled their eyes, "Also, the movie The development of technology and the application of computer technology are just like the industrial revolution of the year, unstoppable and reversible. As for what you said... Mr. Gary, sorry, who is he?"


    This last sentence gave the reporter a pause. Although Gary Graham is not a top critic, he is also well-known in the United States...


    "Drive!"


    In Ryan''s words, the car galloped away.


    After returning to the hotel and taking a shower, Ryan began to make a phone call and let people inform the staff stationed in major cities across the United States to keep an eye on the local contracted theaters.


    The crew has allocated a considerable amount of money in case of use. Although according to the current momentum, it is inevitable to break the box office record of "Jurassic Park" in the first week, but if there is a sudden large-scale refund...


    It''s not that this kind of thing has never happened in the history of Hollywood.


    As he grows older, Ryan needs to deal with more and more things. Even if 99% of them are handled by professionals, some things still need to be paid attention to.


    It is not uncommon to have a controlling stake but be evasive without knowing it.


    In the middle of the night, the rain is still falling, and the lightning that lights up from time to time can always illuminate half of the sky. These will have an impact on the movie theater, but Ryan is bored by the thunderstorm hindering his journey.


    Pittsburgh is less than four hundred miles from New York. If you take a business jet chartered by the crew, you will arrive soon. Even if you take the highway, more than six hours is almost enough.


    What if it doesn¡¯t change after dawn? Take the highway? I''m afraid I can only move forward at a snail speed.


    I promised Nat to celebrate her sixteenth birthday!


    For Americans, the sixteenth birthday means too much. He can ignore his sixteenth birthday. After all, he has already had one. But Natalie is different. When she talked on the phone, she stopped talking. Ryan is still fresh in his memory.


    Probably because of random thoughts at night, Ryan got up late the next day. After washing, he glanced at the still pouring rain and the lightning that lit up from time to time, and his mood was slightly depressed. He simply left the room and went to the crew. Breakfast in the hotel restaurant.


    As soon as he walked into the restaurant, Ryan found that all the crew members who participated in the promotion were waiting here, staring at him with strange eyes, as if...as if he was a monster from the ancients...


    "What happened?"


    The crowd gradually gathered around with their hands behind their backs. Ryan was very puzzled. Could it be that he caused the anger of the crowd?


    "It''s now~"


    Kate Winslet called out suddenly, took out his hands from behind, twisted it hard, and the sky full of color bars flew toward Ryan.


    Immediately afterwards, more color bars flew onto Ryan''s body, and everyone''s barely suppressed expressions collapsed completely, and all they showed was ecstasy!


    That''s right! The crew was extremely excited, even James Cameron almost smiled and cocked his mouth, and even Jon Landau''s whole body was shaking.


    "Ryan! We did it! We set a record! The box office record for the first week in North America now belongs to "Titanic"! It belongs to us!"


    James Cameron came over first first gave Ryan a big hug, then slapped him **** the back, almost killing him.


    "Jim, you are murdering!" Ryan complained.


    "And me, Ryan~"


    Kate Winslet leaned forward and made a strong mark on his face.


    "and many more¡­¡­"


    Looking at Jon Landau''s fat body, Ryan hurriedly stepped aside, pulling the color bars on his head, and asked, "Who can tell me what the box office was in the first week?"


    "The latest statistics are 109.53 million U.S. dollars!"


    It was James Cameron who was talking. At this time, he was not only excited, but also relaxed after the huge pressure dissipated. "Ryan, "Titanic" has set a record! We have made history!" ()

 Chapter 260： Where to sleep tonight

    Despite being blocked by the extreme weather in Pittsburgh, this record-breaking box office number for the first week has excited the crew, especially the staff who have been involved in the preparations since the end of 1993. The excitement is beyond words.


    I have spent years of energy in the work, in exchange for a huge honor, like a spiritual opium, it will make people intoxicated.


    In addition to excitement, a celebration party is inevitable. Ryan specially ordered the hotel to use the best from wine to meals, and he paid for it personally.


    "Titanic" took the first step to great success!


    After just giving a few words of testimony, Ryan quit the party, drove the rental car, braved the pouring rain, and embarked on the itinerary to New York.


    The gloomy weather, slippery roads, unfamiliar environment and slow speed all destined that Ryan could not arrive in New York within six hours.


    "Great "Titanic"! A record-breaking first week of box office in North America! Unprecedented $109.53 million!"


    After getting the first-hand news from Jenkins Pictures, Yahoo published the first week box office of "Titanic" in the most prominent position on the homepage!


    The timeliness advantage of online media far surpasses traditional media is undoubtedly revealed at this time!


    Not only Yahoo, but all major portals published this absolutely hot news almost at the same time. Ryan''s personal website was full of cheers, and the ultra-high traffic almost squeezed the server.


    From this day on, as long as there is a movie theater where "Titanic" is shown, it has definitely become the most densely populated place in the United States. It has almost become the norm for long queues to buy tickets outside the theater. There are many viewers who have watched it three, five or even ten times.


    Jack and Ruth have become the most frequently mentioned names, and Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron have become the most popular topics in the United States.


    "Don''t worry, Mom, I will pay attention myself."


    In a two-storey cottage in the Long Island area, Natalie delivered her mother to the door.


    "Nate, why do you have to move out today?" Mrs. Shelly was a little strange.


    "It''s nothing, Mom." Natalie looked at the lightning that connected to the power grid outside. "You and Dad have celebrated my birthday. I want to spend my first day of sixteen alone."


    "Okay, Nat." Mrs. Shelly understood her daughter''s eagerness for sex.


    Sending her mother away, Natalie closed the door and looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost eight o''clock in the evening, but the person she had been looking forward to never appeared.


    "It''s all the **** weather!" Natalie cursed in an extremely rare low voice.


    Flights from several airports in New York were all stopped, and the highway to Pennsylvania is said to have been caused by a car accident. Traffic jam...


    Touching the mobile phone, Natalie suppressed the desire to dial that number. Now it is the busiest period of "Titanic" publicity. Perhaps he has released his pigeons as before.


    Thinking of this, Natalie couldn''t help biting her lower lip. All the media always praised him for believing in his words and doing what he said, but who knows how many times he has done his promise to himself?


    He is definitely the person who has been released the most times by him. Credibility? You have never had credibility with me!


    Going back to the bedroom, Natalie sat in front of the dressing table. There is always some indignation in my heart.


    However, thinking of everything that happened at the end of February, all of this faded away. For a long time, she knew that she was in Ryan''s heart, just like Ryan had an extremely important position in her own heart.


    That time, Natalie felt it all.


    Maybe Ryan has shortcomings that she can''t understand. The two also have huge differences in dealing with certain things, but there has never been perfection in this world...


    Staring at the mirror, Natalie couldn¡¯t help squeezing her face. Even though she was always confident and proud, she knew that she was not so beautiful, if it weren¡¯t for her temperament, she could be considered outstanding. Can be regarded as a very ordinary girl.


    Hollywood has never lacked beauties. Natalie knows this very well, and knows that with Ryan''s current talent and status, some women who want to become famous will make his mind.


    Do they just understand him? Understand him? Do you know his aesthetics?


    What about yourself?


    Natalie has been the winner of life from the day she became sensible. Just as she chose the path of acting regardless of her father''s strong opposition, she deeply understands the truth that some things must be won by herself, or even won!


    What''s more, although he hadn''t said it before, she could feel that he was indeed different from others.


    As time passed by, Natalie kept looking out of the villa from the window on the second floor. Although he had never been to this villa, he knew the address...


    It was raining heavily outside, and in the dark night sky, only a few dim lights could be seen, and the whole city was as silent as death.


    Natalie felt her heart split in two, half was complaining about why he didn''t come, and the other half was worried that he was on the road. In such bad weather, no matter what kind of transportation it was, it was very dangerous.


    The hour hand slowly pointed to eleven o''clock, Natalie bit her lip, cleaned the bed and prepared to rest, her head turned unconsciously, thinking about how to collect today''s account when we meet next time!


    Not only today! How many times has he released his pigeons in the past?


    This account must be calculated carefully and slowly, anyway, a seventeen-year-old and a sixteen-year-old, there will be time in the future.


    Suddenly, the dim light was reflected on the window facing the street. Judging from the shaking, it seemed to be the headlight of the car. I don''t know if it was an illusion. Natalie seemed to vaguely heard the sound of the engine.


    Could it be...


    The doorbell of''Ding Dong'' came from the first floor, and Natalie¡¯s brown eyes burst into light. Although her voice was getting more and more urgent, she felt calm in her heart. She walked out of the room and went down the stairs. When he came to the door, he just glanced through the cat''s eyes, and a confident smile burst out from the corner of his mouth.


    I¡¯ve always been a winner, haven¡¯t I?


    "Hi, Nat, happy birthday, although it''s a bit late, it''s finally in time."


    Seeing Natalie who opened the door, Ryan wiped her face and brushed off the water droplets on it. Unfortunately, a lot of the wet hair flowed onto her face.


    "Ryan, how did you become like this?" Natalie hurriedly drew him into the room because he didn''t see it clearly from the cat''s eyes just now, "Did you not bring rain gear?"


    "I''m in a hurry, I forgot."


    Scratching his wet hair, Ryan handed over what he was holding in his left hand. It was a red rose that had been withered by the rain. "Sorry, Nat, after entering Long Island, I found out that I forgot to buy a gift. I passed a garden and stole a few roses from there."


    Natalie slowly bit her lower lip and scanned her eyes up and down. Ryan''s pants and shoes were obviously covered with dirty dirt...


    "It''s okay, Ryan." Natalie took Rose and smiled happily. "This is the second best birthday present I have received."


    "Oh, then what''s the best one?"


    As soon as Ryan finished asking, she saw Natalie rubbing her neck with the other hand. There was a black leather necklace on it, and a silver-white sun-shaped pendant hung at the bottom of the necklace.


    "I didn''t expect you... Aye..." Ryan sneezed a lot.


    Natalie woke up at this moment, Ryan was soaked all over and needed to be dealt with quickly, otherwise, given his physique, he might catch a cold.


    "God! Ryan, don''t you know to pay attention?"


    Putting the rose aside cautiously, Natalie hurriedly brought a towel, "First wipe it, I will prepare the bath water, and also, first take off the wet clothes..."


    With that, Natalie grabbed Ryan''s t-shirt, "Hurry up."


    The wet T-shirts and shoes were thrown by Ryan on the porch, and there were dripping pants...


    "That... Nat..." Ryan scratched his head in embarrassment.


    "I...I''m going to prepare bath water..." Natalie threw a thick blanket, quickly removed her eyes, and walked into the bathroom.


    Shrugging, Ryan took off his drenched clothes and wrapped it tightly in a thick blanket. He felt a lot more comfortable. He just looked down and saw that the original neat floor was messed up by himself. If nothing else, it was near the door. The carpet is estimated to be scrapped.


    Are you here to celebrate your 16th birthday? Or do you come to destroy it?


    "Ryan!"


    Natalie''s voice came from the bathroom, "Come here."


    "Immediately, Nat."


    After taking a hot bath, and drank cold preventive medicine under Natalie''s urging, Ryan was wrapped in a blanket and nestled on the couch. On the coffee table not far in front of him, those few flowers were about to die. After Natalie¡¯s meticulous restoration, the red rose is standing in a delicate vase. The delicate petals look like a beautiful girl.


    "Hey, Nat, don''t pack up, throw away those clothes." Ryan shouted into the bathroom.


    "I don''t have any clothes for you here. If you don''t wash them and dry them, what will you wear tomorrow?"


    "This..." Ryan thought for a while, and immediately got an idea Armani has my specific information, just call them to send a new one. "


    Many of his clothes are made from Armani.


    "It''s going to be all right away, my Monopoly." Natalie replied irritably.


    "God, Nat." Ryan murmured dissatisfiedly. "Could you not use this tone, dear?"


    "Then do you want to argue with me, Ryan?" Natalie was not polite at all, and deliberately reminded, "Don''t forget, today is my sixteenth birthday."


    "I remind you too, Nat." Ryan glanced at the clock triumphantly. "It''s midnight now."


    "Humph!"


    Probably it was finished, Natalie walked over, "If it weren''t for the sake of your words and rushing over so far, I would definitely kick you out!"


    "It''s really sad." Ryan glanced at the small villa, "I...where do I sleep tonight?" ()

 Chapter 261： Look forward to

    "Sorry, Ryan." Natalie spread her hand and said helplessly, "There are three bedrooms in this house, but there is only one bed, so you can only sleep in the living room..."


    "Well, it''s better than sleeping on the floor." Ryan got off the couch, soft and hard.


    "Or...you can go to the hotel..."


    "Nate!"


    Ryan''s face turned black in an instant, and his clothes were still hanging in the bathroom. Going to the hotel like this? It will definitely make the headlines.


    I''m not the kind of person who doesn''t even want to make a headline!


    "Of course, there is another option..."


    Natalie was obviously on purpose. At this time, she smiled more beautifully than Rose, "Ryan, we haven''t had a good conversation for a long time, and it just happens to have time tonight..."


    With that said, she didn''t wait for Ryan to nod, and went straight into the kitchen. After a long time, she walked out with the coffee pot and a few small snacks.


    The strong coffee aroma is refreshing just by smelling, the thin shortbread is sweet and delicious, and although the egg **** is not freshly baked, the brown color is attractive enough.


    "Um... good craftsmanship!" Ryan ate a slice of shortbread and took another sip of coffee.


    Needless to say, the shortbread must be Mrs. Shelly¡¯s masterpiece, and Natalie¡¯s cooking skills are not much better than Ryan.


    "Take your foot to the side." Natalie patted Ryan''s leg and sat beside him. "Let''s talk about it first, Ryan, don''t let me lift the bar tonight."


    "Okay." Ryan nodded, in fact, he had faded away from that dispute a long time ago.


    Natalie took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the sofa like Ryan. Although the two people had many differences, they shared a lot of common topics. Especially when they talked about the common experiences over the years, they always laughed endlessly.


    "I told you no. Ryan? When I was just in the first grade, the teacher once asked my father what job he did. I said,''Daddy''s job is to make women pregnant.'' The teacher was terrified and called home. . Then I learned that my father is a gynecologist."


    Speaking of this, Natalie''s smile seemed to be less, "Unfortunately, my father is not the old father, he is too harsh."


    Looking at Natalie who was a little lost, Ryan didn''t say anything, even if the two of them had a good relationship. This kind of private matter belongs to the family, not expressing opinions is the wisest choice.


    "How is the rehearsal of your "Annie Diary"?" Ryan changed the subject.


    "It will be performed this month."


    After moving her body, Natalie slumped into the other side of the sofa, "Ryan. Can I see my debut at that time?"


    "I''m afraid this won''t work."


    Ryan estimated the next time. This month is the busiest time for "Titanic" promotion. "You know, Nat, after the crew passes through North America. They will also go to Europe and the Far East."


    "You are always so busy!" Natalie threw a shortbread into her mouth, biting it loudly, and then asked, "It is said that "Titanic" had a box office of over 100 million in the first week. Is it true? "


    "Hmm~" Ryan nodded. She got up and filled her and Natalie''s coffee cups. "It''s less than 110 million dollars."


    "Wow, so you will make a lot of money." Natalie knocked her head deliberately, putting on a vicious blackmail look, "I think about it, what kind of gift should I ask for?"


    "Luxury house? Sports car? Famous watch? Jewelry? Or bag?" Ryan asked the weak and weak.


    "I am not one of those vulgar girls in Hollywood." Natalie rolled her eyes and changed her playful tone. "Hey, Ryan, to be honest, have you used these things to coax girls?"


    "Of course...no!" Ryan denied without hesitation.


    "Where is the cheerleader?" Natalie asked.


    "What cheerleader?"


    "Just the one mentioned by your classmates when I went to USC last time, isn''t she pursuing you?" Natalie suddenly moved closer, her eyes widened, staring at Ryan.


    "Come on, Nat." Ryan waved his hand dissatisfied, "You don''t know, I don''t like that kind of big skeleton woman."


    Natalie shrugged and said nothing, she naturally knew Ryan''s aesthetics.


    As in the past, the conversation between the two people shifted from economics to politics, from humanities to geography, and finally to the movie side. The focus is naturally on the hit "Titanic".


    "Well, Ryan, I understand that only tragedy can move people''s hearts, and it is easier to become a classic." The two chatted naturally, and Natalie asked infinite questions, "If... I mean if, If Jack and Ruth can survive, will they be a happy couple?"


    "Definitely not!" Ryan gave a negative answer without even thinking about it.


    "Why?" Natalie was very surprised.


    "Nate, think about the character of the two people in the movie. There is a short and fierce love between them. There must be no problem, but how about getting along for a long time? Do you think they will really last forever?"


    "It seems...it seems to make sense." Although she thought it was wrong, Natalie nodded.


    "So, one of them must die to serve the entire movie, to show a different concept of movie love in the past-to live for love!" What Ryan said was just his own understanding.


    "Well, Mr. Jack Dawson." Natalie smiled and put the shortbread into Ryan''s mouth. "If you were Karl, what do you think of his love with Ruth?"


    "Look?" Ryan swallowed the shortbread with the scent of Natalie into his stomach, and said, "If I were Karl, and in that era, I would directly meet a man who dared to beat my fianc¨¦e. Throw him into the Atlantic Ocean to feed the fish!"


    "What a terrible view of love!" Natalie opened her mouth exaggeratedly, and suddenly asked, "What about in life?"


    "You know, Nat."


    Ryan propped up his body to make himself look more imposing, "Below the Hudson River mouth, there are many concrete piers, it doesn''t matter if there are more, if anyone dares to seduce my girlfriend..."


    "The possessiveness of a big man!" Natalie wrinkled her nose and snorted in disdain.


    "So, Jack and Ruth can only be fantasy characters in the movie." Ryan leaned back on the sofa, "Carl is the real person and the person who belongs to society."


    "If your fans learn what you think, they will definitely be disappointed."


    "Will you tell them?"


    "of course not!"


    "Nate, after the shooting of "Star Wars", are you interested in traveling around the world?" This was a promise they made years ago.


    "Where to go? Isn''t it Africa?" Natalie''s smiling eyes narrowed.


    "As long as you don''t mind the cannibals." Ryan squeezed his chin and thought, "How about the Far East?"


    "Far East? Yes, let''s go to China to have a look. I have studied Chinese for so long, but I haven''t used it much..."


    The two of them just chatted with each other. I don¡¯t know when, Natalie yawned and fell on top of him. Ryan had been on the road for almost a day during the day, and she was tired. She subconsciously kept Na in her deep sleep. Tally was wrapped in a blanket and habitually stamped her forehead.


    Maybe it was really tired. Natalie slept very deep. In her sleep, she went back to the day in 1989. Back to the moment the bicycle hit the person. It was such a coincidence. Not only did she know the person who was hit. Knowing each other and becoming the best friend.


    The picture flashes from a dream like a movie...


    The two had their foreheads to their foreheads, arguing like a bull but not giving way to each other; they sat back to back, sitting on the beach of Long Island, quietly admiring the sea and the sky; facing the vicious remnants of the Nazis, they could only Fleeing in embarrassment...


    Finally, when she grew up with her, the young man who would give her two phone calls and one letter a week grew up, with a not too strong body, covering her body in the rain of bullets, vowing not to let her suffer anything. hurt.


    Everyone has their own feelings and everyone has their own world. From that day on, she strengthened her confidence.


    Because he always felt that a stone was pressing on his chest, Ryan slept extremely uncomfortably. Just after dawn, he woke up. In a daze, he could feel that he was a woman lying on his body. He has developed a habit for a long time. The lips were lightly printed on the white and smooth forehead.


    However, at the moment of contact, he realized that something was wrong, it was not Nicole''s taste, but Nat...


    Nat! Ryan recovered immediately.


    I saw Natalie¡¯s face right in front of her eyes, and there were faint traces on her forehead. A few strands of brown hair floated up with her breath naughty, and brushed on her cheeks, numb, itchy, and it seemed to penetrate the bottom of my heart. .


    This is the person most dreamed of in the past life! She has grown up and has become the real Natalie Portman!


    This is... my Nat!


    In the morning, when it was the most impulsive time, Ryan put a kiss on Natalie''s forehead like a ghost.


    Only when the lips left Natalie¡¯s forehead The blue eyes just hit the pair of brown eyes, and the two eyes made a silent confrontation. Ryan pulled off the corner of the mouth in embarrassment. Trying to explain something, only to find that Natalie''s eyes closed again.


    The pair of unusually bright eyes closed again. The difference was that the long eyelashes were trembling, both as if they were telling the host''s uneasy mood, and as if they were deliberately touching the heartstrings.


    Natalie''s heart trembled like her eyelashes. She understood her feelings and could also guess some of Ryan''s feelings for her. People who love each other should stay together instead of leaving regrets...


    She bit her lower lip and raised her small head slightly.


    Seeing Natalie''s closed eyes and slightly raised face, what this means is self-evident. If Ryan can''t even understand this, he should really pour himself into a concrete pier.


    Although he can only be regarded as inferior when it comes to guessing women''s thoughts, he also understands that Natalie has already had feelings for herself, and now as long as it is printed, everything will come naturally.


    The longings and dreams that were unattainable in the past life will also shine into reality. ()

 Chapter 262： This is my Nat

    How many men, especially men who grew up in Hollywood, can resist this temptation?


    Perhaps Ryan has such a bit of self-control, but the opposite is not those women in Hollywood, she... is Natalie Portman!


    This is my Nat!


    After hesitating for only 0.5 seconds, Ryan lowered his head and printed them on the two lips, which were not ruddy, but were extremely soft. The breath that belonged to Natalie made him extremely intoxicated and excited.


    This was obviously Natalie''s first kiss, she was clumsy and jerky.


    Ryan licked and sucked the two lips gently, acting unusually gentle, until Natalie''s somewhat stiff body gradually softened, then she knocked the girl''s teeth with her tongue...


    Feeling the beautiful touch around the tip of her tongue, Natalie couldn¡¯t help wrapping her hands around Ryan¡¯s neck, her eyes lifted slightly, and Ryan¡¯s resolute and gentle look was everywhere in her eyes. The friendship that had been accumulated since childhood is here. In this beautiful first kiss, it completely transformed into love.


    "Ryan..."


    Natalie wanted to shout, but because her mouth was blocked, she turned into a "whoop". She closed her eyes again, and under Ryan''s guidance, she felt her tongue enter a strange place. She naturally Knowing where this is, I can''t help but start a jerky response in the way Ryan teased him just now.


    In the crackling sound, Natalie¡¯s teeth ran into Ryan¡¯s teeth. The two couldn¡¯t stop the toothache, especially Ryan, feeling that their lips seemed to be bitten by Natalie. After the mouth, Nat''s kissing skills are really bad.


    Finally, the two of them put their foreheads on their foreheads, and their lips slowly parted. The sky blue eyes and brown eyes are tightly entwined. Reluctant to separate half a minute and a half.


    They tried to support their eyes, as if they wanted to watch forever.


    "Nate..."


    "Ryan..."


    The two made a sound and smiled at the same time, and at the same time they approached each other and kissed one place at the same time.


    Different from before. Ryan clearly felt that Natalie was more enthusiastic, that naughty tongue was learning quickly, doing everything he could to fight him, and even the hands holding his neck slowly slid towards his broad back.


    While maintaining her gentleness, Ryan''s movements gradually increased, and her big hand slid down Natalie''s thin back. After walking around for a while, he moved in front of him and covered his slightly bulged chest with a bit of temptation.


    One of Natalie''s hands suddenly moved over and grabbed his wrist, seeming to hesitate a little, but finally gave up.


    Ryan was obviously encouraged, and his hand reached through the opening of the neckline, and the other hand landed on Natalie''s waist at the same time. After only a few kneadings, I found the key to the jeans.


    The sweetness at the bottom of my heart makes the always clear brain fall into chaos. Natalie could feel that her chest was in direct contact with the big hand that caused the blame. With an unspeakable taste, she hummed a few times in her nose, but she didn''t mean to stop...


    Although it is the first time to be so affectionate with a man, she does not lack this knowledge, knowing that the man in the morning is the most impulsive. Besides, Ryan''s behavior is not close to her bottom line.


    Suddenly, a hand fell on the waist buckle of the jeans, untied very flexibly and skillfully, and went down...


    "No, Ryan..."


    Natalie woke up instantly, her head tilted, she broke free of her entangled tongue, and at the same time, one hand grabbed his wrist without hesitation.


    "Nat..." The sky blue eyes seemed to flash red, and Ryan exuded a breath called danger.


    "Ryan, we...are we progressing too fast, I...I''m not ready yet." As Natalie had just calmed down from the excitement and excitement, Natalie''s words were a bit intermittent, but she couldn''t refuse.


    "Sorry, Nat, I was a little too impulsive." Ryan took a few deep breaths in succession, suppressing the restless emotions and the screaming hormones.


    Feeling Ryan''s hands withdrawing from her clothes and squeezing herself into her arms, Natalie smiled at the corner of her mouth, raised her head, and kissed his lips forcefully.


    "Ryan, if...if you feel uncomfortable, you can..." Natalie clearly felt something.


    "What can..." Ryan''s eyes lit up, and some untimely images began to appear in his head.


    "You can take a cold shower." Natalie smiled triumphantly.


    "Nate!"


    Ryan gritted his teeth, put the girl in his arms aside, and walked straight into the bathroom.


    Although there is a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth and her eyes bent into crescents, just like all the girls who are immersed in a beautiful first love, this smart and mature girl has excellent control of her emotions.


    Unlike those unknown girls who are eager to try for the first time, Natalie knows one thing. For Ryan, who is in the whirlpool of Hollywood, what is not available is sometimes the best, and as one of the people who know him best, she naturally Know how to hold the balance.


    Also, there is a huge difference between the fame and status of the two people...


    Natalie has never been a passive person. Whether it is career or love, she always has her own plans.


    Thinking of the conversation just now, Natalie was also intoxicated. The wonderful taste is indeed charming, but...


    Her brows wrinkled together. She hadn''t thought that this would calm down before. Natalie suddenly discovered why Ryan''s kissing skills and the way of unbuttoning women''s clothes were so proficient?


    As far as she knows, this guy didn''t have a girlfriend before? Or is there something he is hiding from himself?


    Cool water droplets fell on the body, extinguishing the hidden flames, Ryan''s brain was completely awake, his brows were also frowned, and he couldn''t help but start to have a headache.


    Although there have been fantasies of this kind, who is Nat, even the Herschlers, do not know him better than him, and there is another person far away in Los Angeles...


    Damn it! I am not ready yet! Ryan cursed in a low voice.


    With his character, since he did it, he won''t regret it, but what should he do in the future? Ryan suddenly felt that he might be thrown into the Hudson River mouth.


    As for the happiness of the Qi people in fantasy. It was just a fantasy, with the characters of Nicole and Natalie. How can it be?


    This is North America, which is extremely pursuing personal freedom. They are also typical strong and **** women...


    Shaking his head, Ryan throws away all these nonsense, let''s take one step at a time. Fortunately, they are all in Los Angeles. One is in New York, otherwise that would be a big trouble.


    Don''t let Nat and Ni be visible in the future. Ryan changed his clothes to dry while thinking.


    Walking back to the living room, Ryan saw that Natalie was also in a trance, but the sweet smile on the corner of her mouth could reflect the beautiful mood of the girl at this time.


    Seeing his Natalie, Ryan threw away all thoughts. This is his Natalie. He will not let it out to anyone!


    As for morality? As for the opinions of others? Who cares about them, Hollywood has never been a moral sanctuary!


    There is always a way in the future! Ryan dissipated other thoughts and focused all his energy on Natalie.


    "Hi, Nat, what do you think?"


    Ryan kissed the corner of her mouth and sat next to Natalie, "What''s so happy about laughing so sweetly? Why don''t you take it out and share it."


    "I was wondering how I could take a **** who took advantage of me. Throw it into the sea to feed the fish." Natalie raised her eyebrows, her eyes resting on the wrinkled clothes on her chest.


    "That..." Ryan rolled his eyes a few times and raised his hand. He pinched his finger and said, "Nat, I can smooth it again."


    This is definitely a good idea. Ryan''s eyes are also falling there. Judging from the touch, Nat is b at most. It is his favorite type.


    "Ryan, don''t even think about it!" Natalie grinds her teeth viciously, "Frankly explain, your kissing and **** skills, where did you learn from, it won''t be..."


    "Of course I watched it from the movie, just the kind produced in the San Fernando Valley." Before Natalie was finished, Ryan found an excuse.


    If you are really telling the truth, then you are looking for death.


    Natalie grunted her nose, expressing her disdain, and stood up, "Are you hungry?"


    "I''m not hungry." Ryan also stood up, and embraced the girl in his arms from behind, "Shall we go out to eat?"


    "The rain is still falling." Natalie pointed outside the window.


    "Much smaller than last night." Ryan lowered her head, her lips slid around Natalie''s ears, and she would touch her white ear beads from time to time, which always caused the girl to shudder.


    "Don''t... Ryan." Natalie leaned her entire body on him.


    Ryan slowly turned Natalie''s pretty face, and responded to the girl''s whisper with a deep kiss. Natalie simply turned her body, hung her hands on his neck, tiptoes, and was immersed in it.


    "Ryan, do you love me?"


    "Of course! Do you love me, Nat."


    "of course!"


    People in love can say a lot in such a nutritious love story in a short period of time. Natalie is no exception. However, she is not an ordinary girl after all, and she quickly shifted the topic to other aspects.


    "You mean... you mean, don''t plan to reveal our relationship for a short time?" Ryan was surprised at the same time, secretly relieved That''s right. "Natalie looked at Ryan''s strange expression, thinking he was upset, and explained, "You know, Ryan, I have my own goal. The audience in the United States and even the world can remember Natalie. ? The name Portman is because of my acting skills and achievements, not..."


    Natalie smiled embarrassedly and made an apologetic gesture. Ryan shook her head indifferently and said the second half for her, "Not Ryan Jenkins'' girlfriend!"


    Nodded, and looked at Ryan again. Seeing that he was not angry, Natalie continued, "If our relationship is revealed to the outside world, everyone will think that I am famous..."


    She made a gesture that you understand.


    Natalie knew that she liked Ryan very much, but she didn''t want to be an affiliate of anyone, even in name, she just wanted to be Natalie Portman number one, not someone''s lover or wife.


    "Also, Ryan!" Natalie raised her eyebrows, and she had to say something in front. "Since you admit that I am your girlfriend, don''t let me see those scandals in the media... ¡­¡±()

 Chapter 263： Talk

    Just when Ryan and Natalie were hiding in the villa, enjoying their sweetness, the outside media almost exploded. You know, since the birth of Hollywood, there has never been a movie that can break through the box office in North America in its first week. One hundred million dollars.


    The last film that was closest to this number was "Jurassic Park", which was also a work by Ryan Jenkins. As most people expected, the first film with a box office of over 100 million in the first week actually appeared. His hands.


    "This is an unprecedented record. The world film industry will remember "Titanic", Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron. The box office of this film has achieved a breakthrough in the first week of the film. Will the goal be the total record of the North American box office and the total record of the global box office?"


    ""Titanic" can be regarded as a big can that gathers all the vulgar segments of Hollywood. Ryan Jenkins, an excellent processor, merged this can into a rare delicacy. This is a feast, even though it Earn countless people''s tears and money, but it does not hinder its greatness!"


    "The Titanic never sinks! Some people call Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron the biggest idiots in Hollywood history. It is these two idiots that set a new box office record for the first week in North America. May I ask you smart people Can this be done?"


    Regardless of the previous position, after the box office was released in the first week, the vast majority of the media highly praised the film. The reason is simple. The film is too hot, and too many viewers like it and send out something that suits their wishes. Comments will definitely promote the sales of newspapers.


    After all, they won''t be troubled with money. Besides, the work of Ryan''s public relations team has never been relaxed.


    Some TV stations, including those, have also taken to street theaters to randomly interview passers-by and movie-going crowds, and learn from them the truest views of the public.


    ""Titanic" is a great masterpiece. It is the best movie I have ever seen." Those who hold this opinion account for a considerable proportion.


    "This is the best movie I have ever watched in my life!" There are also many people who say this.


    "What? How about the movie? How many times have you watched it?" This is what the audience in the theater said, "I have watched it twice last week, and I am going to watch it twice this week!"


    "As far as I know, it hasn''t been a full week since the movie was released. Someone has watched it ten times!"


    Entering the second week, "Titanic" is still riding the wind and waves, and has not touched the iceberg in the slightest. The queues in front of the major theaters are getting longer and longer, and related topics are getting hotter and hotter. Some carefully crafted articles have begun to appear in the public''s field of vision.


    "The deepest love is when I live like you after separation. This sentence is used to describe the love between Ruth and Jack. It couldn''t be more appropriate. "Titanic" shows us a kind of It is different from Romeo and Juliet''s view of love-live for love! Jack saved Ruth with all his life, he was selfless and fearless. Ruth lived bravely for the promise, with the same selflessness and fearlessness! Some love! , Expressed in fear of death, some love, expressed in a strong life. Because of love. Jack chose to die; similarly, because of love, Ruth chose to live. But Ruth¡¯s life is rebirth!"


    For this film, "Vanity Fair" specially issued a supplement, which highly praised Jack and Ruth''s love, but the New York Post, which is affiliated to News Corporation, issued diametrically opposite opinions.


    "After watching "Titanic" several times. Apart from being shocked by the terrifying special effects, the biggest feeling is the story between a hungry woman and a liar."


    "Jack has nothing. The origin of the ticket is sufficient to explain what kind of life he had lived before. As for his paintings, I don''t understand. Anyway, it will not be any better. At least it is far worse than the collection of Ruth Monet and Picasso. . So. He seduce Ruth with a method that girls like very much. There shouldn¡¯t be any doubt. Jack can do nothing except to blow out a new sky full of freedom and illusion for girls! "


    "Let''s talk about Ruth. This woman has only met Jack for a day or two, and she stripped off her clothes in front of him. Later, regardless of the constraints of the marriage contract, she got together with the other party. Even if it is today, we will sneer at this kind of style. ."


    "So, between Jack and Ruth, there should be a great "", not a great love!"


    "New York Post" articles have always had amazing views, and this time the same, but the film¡¯s influence is too great, and Jack and Ruth have too many fans. After this issue of the newspaper was published, the newspaper met quite a bit. Hundreds of fans gathered in front of the editorial department to protest.


    Fortunately, this is purely an analysis of the plot of the movie, and does not involve social reality. The New York Post is often protested by people and is not very relieved.


    As if there is a tacit understanding of the heart, here today the concept of love in movies is refuted, and the media such as Vanity Fair and Los Angeles Times will look for new arguments to refute them, and the media under News Corporation have shown a rare kind of unity. '', the counterattack continued, and the two sides began to fight in the air.


    This kind of media talk is most popular with the public. They watch it with great joy. Whenever the media mentions a new point of view and analysis, many people can''t help but think back, and finally choose to buy tickets to watch it again.


    This is the beauty of the Ryan team''s public relations, and it is also a commonly used method in publicity. It doesn''t matter if someone sees something, because the film is good enough.


    "These are all you manipulated behind, Ryan?" Natalie was reading the newspapers in recent days.


    "You can say so." Ryan wrapped Natalie''s waist with one hand, and lightly printed on the girl''s face, "Pat and the public relations team did a great job this time!"


    Perhaps a little greedy, Ryan didn''t want to leave so early, he had been here for two days, anyway, the next stop of the crew was Big Apple, and he didn''t bother to return to Pittsburgh.


    Natalie was naturally happy for Ryanken to let go of work and accompany herself. Even though the mobile phone that kept ringing in the past two days was very annoying, the sweetness in her heart still overwhelmed the others.


    "Ryan, would you move to New York?" With Natalie''s character, being able to say this is enough to witness her feelings.


    "Nate, don''t forget, I''m still a student of USC." Ryan found the reason in an instant.


    Natalie poked her lips and didn''t say anything. Ryan sighed from the bottom of her heart, greed is destined to cause a lot of trouble, "I will come to New York often, Nat."


    It seems that I need to prepare an apartment in New York...Well, it is better to buy a business jet, so that it will be convenient to come and go. Ryan squeezed his chin and made a decision in an instant. He took his hand and walked to the window to call.


    "Watch the Titanic column, do you want to hear what they say?"


    When Ryan finished the call and walked back to the sofa, Natalie held up a copy of The New Englander to him.


    "Those guys are willing to subdue? Or are they still clamoring after they slapped themselves?" Ryan showed a look of disdain.


    Natalie shrugged, and when Ryan sat next to her, she read aloud, "Titanic''s first week of box office is indeed amazing, but don¡¯t forget that the movie, including promotional expenses, has invested as much as 300 million. Dollars! As we all know, after the first week of commercial productions, the box office will inevitably drop sharply. Judging from the movie''s extremely terrible storyline, the decline in the second week is likely to exceed 50%! In short, this movie Movies can hardly pay for themselves..."


    This is really opposed for the sake of opposition. Even if Natalie knows little about film commercial development and theater operations, she knows that this situation will never happen. If you don¡¯t talk about anything else, go and see the long queues outside the major movie theaters. And the number of movie theaters has increased to four thousand!


    However, although the writer of the next newspaper column does not like it, or even hates it, her views are in line with her appetite.


    Looking at Ryan, Natalie continued reading when he didn''t say anything.


    "There are two recognized liars in this world, one is fame, the other is profit, and there is another important liar-trend! There is no doubt that "Titanic" led the trend of this summer, but such a giant system It is often a film that fails completely in art. It is a commercial film created by the completely vulgar Ryan Jenkins for money and profit!"


    "Such films can occupy the box office and sweep the summer files. It is not the artistic achievement that we are proud of, but the stimulation of the senses, the stimulation of the eyeball, and the stimulation of the endocrine."


    "Our society cannot be so vulgar forever. People will always need to exercise numbing and elegant art. Even if Ryan Jenkins, who is completely vulgarized, can occupy the box office now, he will definitely be abandoned by the audience in the near future! "


    "The filmmakers represented by Ryan Jenkins have forgotten the original function and mission of the film. They are increasingly betraying the definition of the film itself, and more and more make the film far away from real life..."


    Suddenly Natalie couldn''t read it anymore There was some truth in the front, but what was written in the back was too outrageous.


    "What was the purpose of the movie in the first place?" Ryan shook his head and asked, "Is this Gary Granham''s article?"


    "Hmm~" Natalie shrugged.


    "ignorance!"


    Ryan was very disdainful. What was the original function and mission of the film? Of course it is entertainment! Are you embarrassed to come out and talk at this level?


    As for the "New Englander", his face is definitely thicker than himself. The North American people regard the "Observation of the Titanic" column as a joke.


    Other commercial movies may have a large decline in the second week, but "Titanic" is definitely an exception!


    "Nate, time is almost up, I should go now."


    Ryan looked at the watch and couldn''t continue to drag it, otherwise even if he was a producer, it would be difficult to explain to the entire crew. ()

 Chapter 264： Agitation

    The crew''s publicity meeting in New York was selected in a theater in Times Square. This day, the Manhattan area ushered in one of the most congested moments in history.


    Uncountable how many people gathered in Times Square. From the cameras erected on the high-rise buildings, only the crowded heads can be seen. The black crowd not only covers every space in the square, but also the Sixth Avenue and the Ninth Avenue. There were countless people holding posters on the Avenue, West Thirty-ninth Street and West 52nd Street, responding to the shouts from the square.


    "Ryan! Ryan..."


    The entire Manhattan Island was shrouded in shouts that shook the world, and the Brooklyn Bridge began to tremble slightly under the vibration of sound waves.


    "God, this reminds me of the Beatles back then. This happened only when they came to New York."


    A reporter standing behind the camera was expressing emotion to the cameraman. This situation is too spectacular and too exciting.


    "This summer, there are only two names in the United States." The cameraman stretched out two fingers, "Ryan Jenkins and "Titanic"!"


    "Yes, James Cameron is also inferior to him." As an industry insider, the reporter knows well that after "Titanic", Ryan Jenkins will definitely set foot on the peak of his career.


    "This is not necessarily a good thing." The cameraman said again. "His appearance in the movie is a big problem."


    Hearing what his companion said, the reporter laughed, "Did you forget? He is not an ordinary actor. He is not only a member of the Academy and one of the Oscar judges, but also represents the entire film industry chain."


    At this time, even greater shouts erupted from the square, especially those of young girls. It has almost reached the limit that humans can endure, and tens of thousands of people are excited.


    "No need to look. Ryan Jenkins must have shown up!"


    The only person who can cause such a situation and such a sensation in Hollywood is Ryan Jenkins who came with "Titanic".


    "Hurry up, take every picture, this hard work can bring us a lot of bonuses." The reporter reminded.


    "What kind of hard work we have." The photographer snarled at the square. "Those security guards and police are working hard."


    The meeting in New York had a huge impact. Wherever the crew went, fans and reporters were crowded. Fans¡¯ screams could pierce eardrums, and flashes could dazzle people¡¯s eyes.


    The entire drama is composed as the center of the North American entertainment industry. The random actions of Ryan, Winslet and Cameron can even make the headlines of many major newspaper entertainment pages. Countless meanings have been interpreted.


    "Ryan is our God, as long as he wants, we can jump off the Brooklyn Bridge." Radical fans, especially female fans, made no secret of their madness when facing the camera.


    There is a female fan organization affiliated to the New York area, which also specially purchased the newspaper page and issued a statement on it.


    "If "Titanic" can break the box office record of "Jurassic Park", we! A total of 558 girls. They will be running naked on Fifth Avenue to celebrate!"


    Of course, this movie not only gave Ryan a huge influence, it also made Kate Winslet a big hit. Among them, the title of "British Rose" is naturally indispensable.


    After the propaganda activities, as expected by Ryan, the crew received a protest call from the New York City government. Not only was Manhattan traffic in a state of semi-paralysis that day, it even spread to other parts of New York. Many excited fans also clashed with the police. ...


    Even so. The crew is still welcomed by various cities, among other things, the influx of hundreds of reporters is an excellent propaganda tool.


    In addition, there are a lot of wealthy and leisurely fans who follow the crew of the film after the premiere day in Los Angeles. They are all welcomed by businesses.


    Wherever he goes, Ryan is the focus of everyone. Every propaganda can be called a war. It has become the norm to be surrounded by thousands of people. Sometimes the right hand of the signature is numb, and the left hand has to be changed. Fortunately, it is just a signature , Otherwise you will definitely make a fool of yourself.


    "On June x, the crew of "Titanic" held an event in **** city. After Ryan Jenkins appeared, the whole city was boiled..."


    This kind of news can attract the attention of the public at the beginning, and then it became the norm. In the eyes of everyone, it is normal for the crew and Ryan to be welcomed. The day they receive a cold reception is the big news!


    Just in the midst of a boom, the second week was over. Those who were waiting to see the box office decline opened their eyes wide and couldn''t believe the official figures. After making a few calls, they could only temporarily lower their heads.


    After seven full days, the weekly box office of "Titanic" not only did not decline, but there was an increase. The number of 112 million, once again set a historical weekly box office record!


    Great Britain is temporarily speechless, the European film circle temporarily stopped clamoring, and the Far East was dumbfounded...


    Hollywood was boiling, and the executives of large film companies realized several things.


    "Titanic" is full of stamina. As long as it performs well overseas, it is very likely to break the overseas box office record of "Jurassic Park".


    Movie cg technology gradually matures, and the era of big investment and big production has completely come. If you want to get enough benefits, you must first pay a huge investment.


    Huge investments also mean huge risks. How can risks be avoided?


    Several companies that have worked closely with Jenkins Pictures have firmed up their determination to strengthen cooperation, while companies that have no cooperative relationship have begun a new round of public relations.


    Of course, those filmmakers who are full of literary and artistic styles, such as European directors who claim to be "pure art", quickly reacted after losing their voices, saying that movies are nothing more than vulgar stories, combined with cg images of computer technology, and lost the movie. Authentic charm.


    Such sour words, even European audiences will not believe it, and the North American media simply do not bother to take care of it.


    After entering the third week, "Titanic" has been released in major overseas markets such as Great Britain, Continental Europe, Australia, and the Far East. With the huge box office numbers and overwhelming publicity in North America, there is no exception in any place. The popularity of the movie far exceeded the estimates of Paramount, who was in charge of overseas distribution.


    "Copy, we urgently need more copies here!" Trans-ocean calls urging them to copy will ring in Paramount almost every minute.


    Originally, some Paramount executives were a bit dissatisfied that Ryan had spent a lot of money to prepare copies of "Jurassic Park" and thought he was too wasteful. Only now have they discovered that if it were not for the large number of pre-stored copies, Paramount Meng Pictures will be completely passive and will bring huge losses to itself and its partners.


    In the busy publicity of the crew flying around, at the end of the third week, the box office of "Titanic" finally began to decline in many people''s expectations, but the box office performance of 80 million yuan still swept the North American market and stabilized. Steadily hold the throne of the weekly box office leaderboard.


    Overseas, all countries where "Titanic" was released, not only won the local weekly box office champion without exception, but also occupied the vast majority of the movie market.


    In several English-speaking areas, Ryan¡¯s appeal is stronger, the Kingdom of Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, etc., this movie has triggered a huge social effect.


    Especially Britain, this is the hometown of Titanic, many people just saw the real reappearance of the ship, they couldn''t help but shed tears, although this is a painful history, they can''t stop people from watching the movie. Craze.


    From Los Angeles to New York, from London to Berlin, from Sydney to Wellington, from Tokyo to Hong Kong, long queues in front of theaters to buy tickets for "Titanic" have become the most common phenomenon.


    The three names of Ryan Jenkins, James Cameron and Kate Winslet, with the help of "Titanic", have completely become a hot topic of global discussion.


    Especially Ryan, who is also the leading actor, screenwriter, producer, investor, and theme songwriter, has almost become synonymous with this movie. The slogans in many places are even the Titanic created by Ryan Jenkins. number''.


    When the film crew left North America for Europe in July, the film''s box office in North America had exceeded 350 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office had exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars in just two weeks...


    Although the popularity of North America has begun to decline and the number of queues for ticket purchases has gradually decreased, more and more enthusiastic fans have been cultivated. Not to mention new audiences, but those who watch repeatedly, can increase huge box office numbers.


    As for overseas markets, the upsurge sweeping the world has just begun.


    Even the Chinese market has negotiated the introduction with Paramount Pictures, and the rest is only the release time.


    With the global popularity of "Titanic" For Hollywood, for the entertainment and cultural industry of the United States, it is no longer as simple as a movie. Its anchoring and voyage, it is not only the box office numbers that impact , And film markets everywhere. So far, American blockbusters produced by Hollywood have completely become the mainstream of the world''s film industry.


    When it concerns an industry or even the interests of the United States, the mainstream media will always make the same voice. Even if some tabloids are still clamoring, they will automatically be ignored by the mainstream.


    ""Titanic" is making an impact on the record. This movie has become the box office champion in each country of distribution. A unique phenomenon has gradually formed. Parents take children to watch, and younger generations take elders to watch. This is a cross-age. Experience sharing. It broke the barriers of language, culture, and religion, and set off a movie-watching craze all over the world. This trend continues unabated..."


    "Just sitting on the subway, you can hear people around you talking about this movie, talking about Ryan Jenkins, and there are countless people humming "My Heart Is Eternal"..."


    "The girls who are obsessed with Ryan have entered the theater more than once, and they are watching more than anyone else. In our interview, people who have watched more than ten times account for a considerable proportion, and the most people are in a month. I watched it nearly eighty times, which is equivalent to sitting in the theater for a whole week...)

 Chapter 265： Beyond

    Please remember the website of this site: please post it to your qq group Weibo/WeChat forum to recommend the promotion introduction!


    Throughout the month of July, Ryan and James Cameron took the crew and spent the whole flight propaganda. Starting from Southampton, the city where the Titanic was born, they passed through London, Paris, Berlin, Milan, Madrid and other Europe. Every time you go to major famous cities, you can always set off an unprecedented wave. (Please search and update the fastest novel website!)


    The influence of "Titanic" has gone beyond the category of movies and has become a cultural or social phenomenon.


    Although European directors who are full of envy, jealousy and hatred have tried their best to criticize the film for no artistry at all, except for advanced computer technology, it is for the sensational and sensational plot, but it can not stop the advance of this big ship. Potential.


    Their views do not affect mainstream audiences at all. What movie do most people like? This kind of question can be answered without asking.


    Even if it is the mainstream media in Europe, seeing the longer and longer queues of ticket purchases, facing the increasingly feared box office numbers, even if they are unwilling, they can only give praise.


    Especially Fleet Street, in their opinion, Ryan Jenkins is considered half British, and "Titanic" tells the story of the British. This is a major victory for British culture.


    Known as rigorous, objective, and fair, The Times has not hesitated to give Ryan a high evaluation.


    "A world-class superstar!"


    The headline headline in bold and black, matched with a photo of Ryan during the promotion in London, is particularly eye-catching.


    "Even if a little more than half of the time has passed in 1997, we can confirm that no one can be more influential than Ryan Jenkins. The place where he is is simply the focus and center of the world! Any one of his words Then, any action can easily attract the attention of the public and make the headlines of major media."


    "Everyone knows how good he is, but who would have thought that after "Jurassic Park". He will team up with James Cameron to bring such a big surprise to the world! Titanic from Southampton This is the most glorious moment of Ryan Jenkins so far. This is not only Ryan¡¯s victory, but also the glory of the entire Great Britain."


    "Although he does not have British nationality, Ryan''s most critical period of growth was spent in London. His excellent British education has benefited him a lot. In him, we can clearly see the traditional British etiquette. The influence of British culture allowed Ryan to create "Titanic" full of British style..."


    "The success of this film proves the glory of the Kingdom of Great Britain. We also want to remind everyone that "Titanic" shows mature cg technology. So should Ryan consider adding the masterpiece of English literature "Halibo" "Special" series on the big screen?"


    "Also, Ryan has made an outstanding contribution to the promotion of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and the royal family should consider granting him the honor he deserves!"


    Although the whole article is full of British self-righteousness, no effort is spared to praise him. Of course, in the eyes of Ryan''s fans, these are the most basic facts.


    The crew ran in major cities. What you enjoy is the treatment that the world¡¯s top politicians can hardly get. When they arrive at the airport, thousands or even tens of thousands of fans come to greet them. When a meeting is held, the entire city will be paralyzed, and thousands will be left when they leave. A loyal fan cried and begged the crew to stay longer.


    Among them, Ryan is the most popular target, and more than 70% of these people come to him!


    In addition, hundreds of reporters from Fleet Street. Directly following the action of the crew, even if Ryan and others leave the center of the entertainment industry and go to the Far East, they still will not leave, and vowed to dig out everyone''s love in the crew!


    Even after arriving at a hotel in Hong Kong, a female paparazzi from The Sun bought a waitress. Almost mixed into Ryan''s room...


    Things like this were endless during the entire propaganda process. George led two bodyguards to protect Ryan''s safety and security.


    "Hollywood is the most influential star in the Far East!"


    "Titanic" has been in theaters in Hong Kong for some time. The arrival of the crew has made this city that has just experienced drastic changes become fanatical, and the media are rushing to report.


    "This is the second time Ryan Jenkins has come to Hong Kong. The last time he came, he was the screenwriter, original author and investor of "Jurassic Park". This time he was the screenwriter and actor of "Titanic". , Producer and investor, these two epic masterpieces, let us know this young superstar thoroughly, and his influence is spreading to every corner of the world..."


    Perhaps the report is a bit exaggerated, but after the release of "Titanic" in several Hollywood culture dumps in the Far East, the name Ryan Jenkins is remembered in the hearts of many people!


    The crew caused a sensation in the Far East as much as North America. Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo, and Manila were completely conquered by big ships.


    Among them, when the crew left Tokyo and was about to go to Sydney, several female fans who learned of the news, in order to keep Ryan, cut their veins and committed suicide in public, which is really dumbfounding.


    As for the box office, "Titanic" has broken various records in the history of the release area, and even became the first Hong Kong movie with a box office of over 100 million.


    In mid-August, after a long journey and exhausted, the crew finally returned to the starting point of this journey-the City of Angels. At this time, not only the media fans in Los Angeles, but also the first box office record in movie history were greeted!


    When the third week of August arrived, various statistics were released. The North American box office exceeded 500 million US dollars, and the overseas box office exceeded 600 million US dollars. The global box office steadily stabilized above the head of "Jurassic Park" and became a new global box office. Box office championship.


    However, this supposedly shocking news did not cause much sensation.


    The reason is too simple. As early as a few weeks ago, almost everyone realized that "Titanic" would definitely become the global box office champion. Even the explosion of World War III could not be stopped. The only thing left is time and the final one. Numbers only.


    Let alone the media and the public, even most of the people in the crew were not particularly excited after seeing the relevant statistics. After this journey, they know better than anyone that they are bound to make history!


    There were also things that made them happy. After the batch of the movie was received, they each received a check in line with their position and status.


    Which does not include James Cameron, when asked by the set tyrant, Ryan said so.


    "Jim, I won¡¯t issue a dividend check for you until the movies are all released. Guess what the number will be?"


    In his previous life, James Cameron gave up a 10,000-dollar director''s salary. After the film went down, Twentieth Century Fox gave him a 10,000-dollar dividend.


    Of course, this world is different, and the crew will definitely give a higher number.


    Not only was Ryan¡¯s partner greatly encouraged by the movie¡¯s big sales, but even the entire Hollywood was ecstatic. After all, this movie was able to ride the wind and waves and opened the market for them in several places.


    However, people who are envious and jealous are everywhere. For example, the New Englander has made laughable comments.


    "The global box office champion of "Titanic" simply doesn''t live up to its name. Don''t forget, how much movie ticket prices have gone up over the years? And inflation is not taken into account! The real box office champion should belong to "Gone with the Wind"..."


    Apart from being ridiculous, this kind of remarks are still ridiculous. Apart from being scolded by someone saying ¡®head water¡¯, no other media responded to them.


    "Titanic" not only brought huge profits to the box office, but also various peripheral products. Even if it was not as popular as the surroundings of "Jurassic Park", sales have reached a new high in recent years.


    There is also the original soundtrack. After the movie was released, it was a mess. In just over two months, it sold millions of copies.


    The only regret is that "My Heart Is Eternal". After Celine Dion''s single was released, although the response was extremely strong, it still failed to break the weekly record of "I Will Always Love You".


    Movies can¡¯t be hot all the time. Except for the later overseas markets, other regions including North America, the box office numbers have been steadily declining, and the number of theaters released is also gradually decreasing. The remaining box office numbers will take a long time to accumulate Up.


    There is also the model ship standing in Rosario, but in the end no one cares about it. After discussing with Jon Landau, Ryan and Jon Landau have decided to treat it as a scrap...


    Numerous media interviews were invited to Pie? Jinsli, the main members of the "Titanic" crew, all became popular in the eyes of the media, and became popular products.


    Through this film, James Cameron completely determined his supreme position in commercial films.


    Kate Winslet has also turned from a second-line actor into a hot actress. How can she not mention it for the time being in future exhibitions, and she is softened by the business advertisement of endorsements alone.


    Of course, the most popular person in the eyes of all media is Ryan, talk shows, cover invitations, etc., can almost drown people.


    It is a pity that Ryan''s time is very tight. He only stayed in Los Angeles for a few days to deal with the follow-up matters of "Titanic", and then left North America.


    Even, he only met Nicole once, who was making up a few shots of "Eileen Brockovich" in Hinckley.


    The post-production of this film is almost complete, and Steven Soderbergh was inspired and wanted to add a few small clips.


    Ryan¡¯s destination is a small town in Ireland where Spielberg¡¯s team is already stationed. The main actors, including Tom Hanks, are receiving military training from a former Navy Team 6 captain in the barracks. .


    Because of the "Titanic" publicity schedule, Ryan is a long time late. Since he promised to appear in this movie, he will definitely go all out.


    As for the movie that is about to be shot? Naturally, it was the most real and cruel war movie at the beginning-"Saving Private Ryan"!


    ps: I have been too busy recently. The loan I applied for has to be approved, and we will become house slaves in the future. . Thank you for your support! Thanks!

 Chapter 266： problem occurs

    The off-road vehicle bumped all the way and carried Ryan to the crew''s station. This is a very ordinary small town in Ireland. Because of the presence of the Spielberg crew, it became lively and busy.


    Especially not too far from the town, there is an abandoned air force base. The crew of the crew is leading the construction team, engaged in infrastructure and destruction, and wants to build a devastated and ruined French battlefield.


    "Hi, Toby."


    Immediately after getting out of the car, Ryan saw Spielberg''s assistant and asked, "Where is Steven?"


    "Oh, God, Ryan, you are finally here." Toby Hoskin led Ryan forward. "Mr. Spielberg is just ahead."


    Although there is still some time left to shoot the movie, the whole team has already started to be busy. Ryan walked along and hardly saw any idlers. When he came to a group of tents similar to a military camp, Spielberg was holding a satellite phone while Walking around, talking hoarsely.


    No need to ask, Ryan also knows that the old Jewish man must be in the post-production of "Jurassic Park 2" remotely. If there is no accident, Spielberg will still not have it after shooting "Saving Private Ryan". idle.


    Perhaps it was the change brought about by Ryan. The filming of "Saving Private Ryan", which should have been filmed long ago, has not been launched yet.


    "Congratulations, Ryan!"


    Spielberg put away the satellite phone, the first thing is to send congratulations, "Unexpectedly, the box office record of "Jurassic Park" was rewritten so quickly."


    "It''s just luck." Ryan was rarely humble.


    "Is it really luck?" Tom Hanks suddenly walked out of the "barracks", "I believe that the next one to break this record will be you, Ryan."


    "Oh, God!" Ryan showed a look of surprise, "Tommy, what are you..."


    Tom Hanks almost changed his person. He was in dirty army green clothes, and the beard on his face had not been shaved for a long time, matched with sunken cheeks. It''s like a refugee who has just escaped from Africa.


    "We are undergoing military training." Tom Hanks spread his hands helplessly, "Trust me. Ryan, you will be like this in a week."


    "Yes!" Spielberg swept Ryan up and down a few times, and said very seriously, "Ryan, you must lose at least five pounds before the film starts."


    "Okay!" Ryan will naturally cooperate, "No problem."


    Fortunately, his body shape looks a little thin from the outside. Otherwise, losing weight will definitely be a big trouble.


    "Ryan, you are welcome to join the crew." Spielberg laughed.


    "Ryan, welcome you to hell." Tom Hanks was happy for the addition of a suffering compatriot.


    Originally, Spielberg wanted to locate the location in the UK. But the British Ministry of Defence refused to provide assistance to the crew and other aspects. He had to choose Ireland because the Irish military promised to send more than 1,000 soldiers to assist in the filming, most of whom have also participated in films such as "Brave Heart".


    In addition, it is military training for the actors.


    "Essentially speaking. You are not actors now, you have to think about the problem with the mind of a soldier, although it is very difficult to truly become such a person!"


    Ryan, Tom Hanks, Giovanni Rebis and others stood in a row, listening to the routine training of the former Marine Corps Captain Dale Day.


    On the second day after entering the crew, Ryan was like other actors. Started basic military training, even if the role he chose did not have too many scenes.


    Ryan and others need to quickly integrate into the environment of the film. In order to enter the role as soon as possible, they even learned how to use weapons, individual tactics, and the military''s codewords and sign language during World War II.


    Frankly speaking, these are not too difficult for Ryan, the actual training life is the real test.


    Training strokes, meals and sleeping on the street is the norm, just like a real army. Ryan and others have to carry 40 pounds of equipment every day, march three miles in a hurry, not only have no beds when sleeping, but they can only live in tents, and they have daily rest periods. Strictly control within five hours, this is still preferential treatment.


    Although it¡¯s a bit bitter and tired, it¡¯s good for younger people like Ryan to say that after all, you can stick with your teeth, but to Tom Hanks, it¡¯s like hell. Every rush march is a test. .


    However, the spirit of the team always works at this time.


    "If a teammate is in trouble, then you must stop and help him!"


    At this time, the former Marine Corps captain always said a big reason, "The army is not a movie. There is no room for individual heroism here. Team spirit is the fundamental guarantee of victory!"


    After the rapid march, meals are often only available. For these actors who are used to enjoying the food, the food can only be said to be horrible.


    "Beans, canned beef, canned peanut butter, canned tomatoes..."


    Sitting in the open space in front of the tent, Ryan looked at the few foods he had and gestured to a few teammates, "Hey, guys, what do you want to eat?"


    "I can''t control what they want."


    Ryan¡¯s shaper flashed like a ghost and reminded him, ¡°Don¡¯t forget, Ryan, you have to lose five pounds. You can¡¯t touch any meat...¡±


    "God!" Ryan covered his face, the canned food is already unpalatable enough, even beef must be banned, it is really better than death, "Can I only eat canned beans and tomatoes?"


    "Don''t complain, Ryan." Tom Hanks unceremoniously snatched the canned beef from Ryan''s hands. "We envy your full protein and vitamin nutrition package."


    After a meal, only a few minutes of rest is the routine weapon training time.


    Although live ammunition is not required, the aiming and other postures must at least look decent. Although the crew uses old antiques, Ryan is quite interested.


    These are real firearms, and the props team found more than 700 m1 Garland and Chicago typewriters, in addition to many m1901 pistols.


    Needless to say, the professional ability of the team that Spielberg convened, as they couldn''t find a real Tiger tank, these guys bought two T34 tanks from Russia and forcibly refitted their appearance to look like a Tiger tank.


    This kind of war epic must be a big investment and a big production. DreamWorks not only recruited Jenkins Pictures to co-produce it, but also accepted investment from Paramount Pictures. The three parties each took out about one-third of the funds.


    At the end of August, Ryan asked for a leave of absence from the USC Film Academy. When the military training came to an end, a man named Van Diesel didn¡¯t know how to get through Spielberg¡¯s relationship. , Joined the ranks of Ryan and his party.


    Even Spielberg asked the screenwriter Robert Rodart to add a role specifically for him.


    This kind of situation is not uncommon. In Hollywood, relatives are always more popular than pure newcomers. However, the appearance of this guy has inspired the gossip enthusiasm of the crew.


    "Ryan, this guy won''t be Stephen''s illegitimate child, right?" Tom Hanks was of course joking. Because of his relationship with Spielberg, he would often make fun of old Jewish men.


    "It''s not possible." Ryan tapped the canned beans with a spoon, and he was very cooperative and put on a serious thinking appearance. After a while, he said, "This guy looks like a mulatto. Stephen''s taste doesn''t seem to be that heavy. Right?"


    "That''s not true, Stephen..." In just a few minutes, Tom Hanks broke out some absurd things about Spielberg when he was young. These are super gossips that are rarely circulated outside the circle. .


    Ryan''s military training lasted for ten days, and he successfully lost five pounds. The whole person looked thinner.


    "Hi, Nicole, how long hasn''t seen you since then, can''t you recognize it?"


    Walking out of the temporary ¡®barracks¡¯, Ryan saw Nicole Kidman who came to visit the class, and the distress in the eyes of the Australian girl passed away.


    "Why did the movie become like this before shooting?"


    There are people coming and going, Nicole can''t do anything, just the hand that is holding Ryan''s arm takes extra effort.


    "While making war films, you always have to look like soldiers, and you have to suffer a little bit." Ryan didn''t care. He whispered a few words of comfort, and then asked, "Your shots are finished?"


    "Well~ it was over a few days ago, there was not much." Nicole turned to look around, and whispered in his ear, "Where is your room?"


    "Uh..." Ryan scratched his cheek, where he has a room, and has been living in a collective tent recently, "That..."


    "Ryan!"


    Suddenly Tom Hanks''s voice came out from behind, and then the others chased him up, "Oh, Nicole, so you are here, just so hurry up! Something has happened!"


    Something big? What''s the big deal? Can Tom Hanks be so anxious? Could it be Spielberg''s accident?


    Many unreliable thoughts flashed in Ryan''s head took Nicole''s hand, followed Tom Hanks, and walked towards a temporary office of the dramatist.


    Tom Hanks was so fast that he almost ran, obviously very anxious in his heart.


    "What the **** happened, Tommy?" Nicole couldn''t help but ask, stepping on high heels.


    "It''s your Royal Highness."


    Your Royal Highness? Ryan woke up in an instant. Although he did not remember the exact time when the Princess of Wales had an accident, he roughly remembered it was the end of August.


    Did things in the previous life really happen? Will Diana escape?


    Just in Ryan¡¯s cranky thoughts, he and Nicole followed Tom Hanks into the office and saw several people including Spielberg standing in front of the TV. It is a special news program of TV 1...()

 Chapter 267： Prince visiting

    "Oh, my God, how is this possible? I talked to her on the phone a few days ago." Nicole Kidman covered her mouth incredibly, seemingly unacceptable.


    Ryan sighed, Diana did not accept his advice at the beginning, and has been using the driver, just like the big events in the past, what should happen is still happening.


    Of course, there is no convincing conclusion about the truth of the matter more than ten years later.


    The TV''s voice continued, and the host was obviously a supporter of Diana, and his voice was choked.


    "In order to get rid of the chase of seven photographers riding motorcycles, Diana and Dodi Fayez drove in a Mercedes-Benz car at a speed of more than 100 miles per hour. At about 0:30 in the morning, the car went to the Seine River in the center of Paris. When I was under the highway tunnel under the Alma Bridge, I suddenly lost control and crashed into a demarcation concrete pillar in the middle of the tunnel. The car was completely damaged. Dodi and the driver were killed on the spot. Diana and her bodyguard were seriously injured and sent in. Rescue in the hospital, Diana died in the hospital due to a massive chest hemorrhage at four in the morning. She was only 36 years old. It is reported that the royal family has dispatched a special plane and her body will be escorted back to China by Prince Charles..."


    After reading the news, Ryan recalled a few related memories, which seemed exactly the same as in the previous life.


    "The crew temporarily suspend work, give all British employees a holiday, and..." Spielberg slowly said his decision to his assistant, and the old man often interacted with Diana. "The royal family has new news, immediately notice me."


    The crew of "Saving Private Ryan" employs a large number of British employees, and the news will soon spread. With Diana''s status in the hearts of ordinary British people, these people can no longer have the mind to work.


    Besides, if the royal family really wants to hold a funeral in public, in this room. Including Ryan and Nicole, most people will definitely be invited.


    The crew is temporarily off, Ryan and Nico and Tom Hanks simply left here. Back at the hotel in a nearby city, the British''s grief needed time to vent. I''m afraid it will be difficult for the crew to resume work in a day or two.


    "Why is this!"


    Entering Ryan''s suite, Nicole was obviously still unacceptable, walking around excitedly, "Why doesn''t God protect his kind people?"


    After closing the door, Ryan took Nicole into his arms and gently stroked her back, calming her emotions. She and Diana are also friends.


    What''s more, no matter who it is, I suddenly heard that someone I knew died unexpectedly. Will be in shock.


    "Perhaps God doesn''t want his angel to suffer anymore." Ryan said following Nicole''s emotions.


    "I hope she will be happy in heaven."


    Feeling Nicole tightly nestled in his arms, Ryan was a little impulsive, but knew that Nicole was absolutely not affectionate, so he had to suppress it, and through the Internet and TV and other media at the same time. Observe the changes in things.


    On the same day, Diana''s coffin was transported back to London and parked in Kensington Palace. The whole of Britain fell into grief.


    Chapter 271, many people spontaneously gathered in front of Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace and sent flowers, hoping that the royal family would publicly mourn this respectable princess.


    However, something unexpected happened. Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, led by the royal family members, left Buckingham Palace for a vacation at Balamore Palace without any public or official statement.


    Subsequently, Fleet Street did not know where the latest news was dug up. The royal family would only hold a private funeral for Diana, and it would not be open to the public. The major media were suddenly full of offensive remarks, and some tabloids even used''cold blood. ''Such words.


    The media¡¯s incitement quickly aroused the anger of the British people. More and more people came to the front of Buckingham Palace to lay flowers. Even people outside London rushed over and spontaneously lit candles near Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace in the evening. The princess in their hearts.


    Unexpectedly, this kind of incident will definitely be used by politicians to make a big fuss. The one at No. 10 Downing Street publicly criticized the practice of the royal family and called Diana the''Princess of the People''. Political figures from various countries also expressed their condolences, such as corruption. Ye, Zipperton and others...


    The public''s dissatisfaction with the royal family was overwhelming, and some even publicly called for the removal of royal privileges. The remarks from No.10 Downing Street were increasingly biased towards Diana. This was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. The Windsor family faced a huge public relations. Crisis, this is definitely the biggest wave since Elizabeth II succeeded to the throne. Once it is not dealt with properly, the royal family is likely to slip into the abyss...


    "Will they hold a public funeral for Diana?" Nicole asked.


    "It definitely will."


    Although Nicole''s intelligence can certainly be seen, Ryan still made a meaningless explanation, "The queen will not gamble all the reputation and prestige of the royal family for a Diana, even if she hates her very much."


    "Compromise is the wisest thing to do."


    Nicole said, suddenly thinking of Ryan, he should have a deeper understanding of this vocabulary? Since entering Hollywood, his cooperation and benefit sharing are not a kind of compromise.


    Sure enough, the royal family quickly issued a public statement that it would hold a public funeral for Diana. Even the royal flag at Buckingham Palace was lowered by half. Then, several royal family members, including Prince William, appeared in the media and In the eyes of the public, crisis public relations were launched.


    It was at this time that Ryan, Nicole, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg received invitations to attend the funeral.


    Of course, except for members of the royal family, those who were invited were all people in the cultural and sports world that Diana had made friends with.


    Ryan and the others left Ireland and came to London. It was probably because the Queen made a televised speech. The public was obviously not as agitated as before.


    Ryan specially ordered the car to make a round in front of Buckingham Palace. The front of this world-famous palace has become a sea of ??flowers, and even the entrances and exits are almost blocked. The king''s flag, which is said to never land, also It only rises in half.


    The car drove them to the Claridge Hotel in London, where Ryan saw many familiar faces, such as the tenor singer from Spain...


    Regardless of time or place, it is not suitable for socializing now. Occasionally, Ryan would talk to someone he was familiar with, while others just nodded in greeting.


    The funeral is scheduled for September 6, two days later, and the royal family will not only be open to the public. It also authorized the TV station to broadcast live, and the Windsor Dynasty is doing its best to restore its image in the public.


    Had dinner. Nicole put on her home clothes and walked into Ryan''s room, chatting about the events before and after without a word, and there was also a lot of gossip in the hearts of the two of them.


    "Diana, who pursued love with all his heart, died in the same car as her lover..."


    "Ryan, Diana''s private life is a bit bad, but her enthusiasm has helped many people."


    "I understand. Nicole, it is precisely because of what she has done that the British people have chosen to stand on her side..."


    The ¡®duh¡¯ knock on the door interrupted the two people¡¯s small talk. The arrival of an unexpected guest surprised Nicole Kidman who opened the door.


    "His Royal Highness..."


    Standing outside the door was a young man with a serious expression. There were many guards behind him. Nicole suppressed his expression and quickly let him and his entourage in. "His Royal Highness, why are you here?"


    Hearing Nicole''s words, Ryan quickly got up from the sofa and tidied up some messy clothes, "May God bless you. Your Highness!"


    I don''t have much friendship with him! Ryan cried to **** in his heart, what did Prince William come over at this time?


    "Hello, Miss Kidman! Hello, Mr. Jenkins!" Despite the unbearable sadness, William showed no rudeness, showing the stereotype and upbringing of the royal family. "Both are friends of his mother. you are welcome."


    "Please sit down!" Ryan wasn''t so restrained to such a kid.


    It was probably a time-tension relationship. After a few people sat on the sofa, before Nicole could even have a drink, the future Lord of Cambridge said his intention.


    "Yes, there will be some memorial services at the mother''s funeral."


    This young man appeared to be extremely mature. It seems that Diana''s sudden death made him mature quickly. "Mr. Jenkins, you are the newest singer of your mother''s life, and you are also a recognized genius. If you can, can you write a song for your mother? "


    "Are you going to sing at the funeral?" Ryan asked tentatively.


    "Yes." William nodded slowly, "I know this is a bit difficult for others, I hope..."


    "William, you can."


    Compared to Ryan, Nicole is more familiar with the other party, "I''m answering for Ryan."


    "This is what I should do, Your Highness!" Ryan''s tone was very firm, "I will make a special single to commemorate the princess..."


    Just as William frowned, Ryan continued, "All income will be donated to the princess''s foundation."


    "Thank you!"


    After shaking hands with Ryan and Nicole, William quickly bid farewell. Seeing his appearance, he should visit others.


    After closing the door, Ryan sighed and understood that William represented the royal family. They were willing to let the future king of England come to the hotel in person to visit these celebrities who participated in the funeral. It was not a kind of public relations to restore the image and crisis.


    Of course, anyone who is smart will know what to say and what not to say.


    "Sorry, Ryan!"


    After Ryan sat next to him Nicole was resting on his shoulder, "I just want to do something for a child who has lost his mother."


    "I understand." Ryan stroked her long hair dyed golden brown.


    "Will this trouble you?" Nicole suddenly remembered that music inspiration is not always available.


    "I need inspiration and creativity, dear!" Ryan sighed deliberately.


    "Then what can I do for you?" Nicole was very cooperative.


    "Uh..." Ryan rolled his eyes, leaned to Nicole''s ear, and whispered in a low voice, in exchange for Nicole''s glaring stare, "Ryan, if you are willing to let me kiss you afterwards, I have no opinion , Otherwise, don''t even think about it!"


    "Okay, okay, can it be when I haven''t said?"


    Soothed Nicole. Ryan took the mobile phone and dialed Pie Kingsley¡¯s phone. "Pat, contact Warner Records. I want to borrow their recording studio in London and sign a song with them. Single release contract......)

 Chapter 268： Candle in the wind

    On September 6, 1997, the world¡¯s attention was focused on Westminster Abbey in London, where the mourning ceremony of Diana¡¯s funeral will be held soon, the lawns around the church and the road where the hearse will pass. Spontaneously gathered millions of people to bid farewell to the Princess of Wales.


    Although it was said that there were more than 2 million farewell people, Ryan had no intuitive feelings. He stood in the queue about to enter the church and looked around, only to see the dense crowds of people''s heads.


    Nicole is wearing a black dress and an English veil hat with white flowers on her chest. She is holding Ryan, who is also dressed in black and white flowers. Her lips are still turning, seeming to be praying piously to God.


    Although Spielberg is in front and Tom Hanks is beside him, Ryan keeps his head down and keeps his solemnity, and his camera will be swept by from time to time. The whole world has caused an uproar, and that is really bitter and can only be swallowed in the stomach.


    Thinking of the soup, Ryan couldn''t help but squinted his eyes to the rear. The Mr. Cruise, who was in debt and facing bankruptcy, was also invited, and he was standing with his female partner not far behind Ryan and Nicole. .


    "Did something happen, dear?" Nicole keenly noticed that Ryan''s eyes fell on her face.


    Ryan didn''t say anything, just shook his head. In his previous life, he had seen relevant pictures and reports about Diana''s funeral. Nicole was holding the guy behind...


    Following the queue, after entering the church, Ryan took a seat aside and watched the funeral quietly.


    On behalf of the Spencer family, Diana¡¯s younger brother, Earl Spencer, delivered a commemorative eulogy with the theme of "Peerless Beauty", which highly praised Diana¡¯s spirit of running for charity and the lofty in the eyes of the British people. status. He attacked the British royal family and his godmother in a nearly cracking way.


    Hmm... Earl Spencer''s godmother is Queen Elizabeth II.


    This almost means that the relationship between the Spencer family and the royal family is completely broken.


    When Blair stepped forward and delivered a speech. A staff member came over and muttered in Ryan''s ear. Leading him to the front of the piano, waiting for the politician''s speech to end.


    Sitting quietly in front of the piano, Ryan listened to Blair''s words, and his eyes quietly scanned the front row of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. The faces of these two were not good at all.


    As for the reason? Quite simply, this one at No.10 Downing Street not only praised Diana and criticized Crown Prince Charles. Even the word ¡®damned¡¯ is used.


    "Can a person be praised by the public only when he is dead? Express my personal opinion."


    "In this marriage between Charles and Diana, it is difficult to say who is the victim. Diana is certainly in the position of the weak, but I think in Charles''s heart, she is always just a partner. Not a lover, a partner............ ."


    "It is true that Charles is a prince, but he is first of all an individual. What he needs to do is to care rather than pretend. Why did Charles choose Diana, who was not outstanding, to marry, and give up so many ladies who are''better'' ''? I wonder if he wanted his wife. Considering him as an ordinary person? Unfortunately, after marriage, Diana thinks that her biggest difficulty comes from her husband , Not other factors..."


    "As for now, only God knows what Diana thinks."


    The contradiction between Ten Downing Street and Buckingham Palace is well known. Blair would make such remarks, and Ryan is not surprised at all, even if he is a political idiot.


    At the end of Blair¡¯s speech, Ryan quickly brewed his emotions. The moment the camera turned around, his slender ten fingers landed on the piano. The tunes that he practiced dozens of times in the past two days sounded, and after a short prelude. , He leaned in front of the microphone, and his slightly sad singing voice spread to every corner of the church.


    "Farewell, our English rose, may you bloom in our hearts forever.


    You are the incarnation of kindness, caring and sheltering the people who are up and down.


    You screamed out to the whole world, and you comforted those in distress softly.


    Now you have gone to heaven, and the stars will shine your name.


    Your life is like a candle in the wind, even if the downpour continues, the light never disappears with the sunset,


    And your footsteps will reverberate forever, on the greenest hills in Great Britain,


    The candle will eventually burn out, but your legend will be immortal,


    We have lost this lovely person, in the empty days without your smile,


    We will always hold up this torch to commemorate Britain¡¯s noblest angel,


    Even if we endure the grief, the facts still make people choked with tears,


    All our words can¡¯t be said, the warmth and joy you have brought us over the years,


    Farewell, our English roses, may you bloom in our hearts forever.


    The world that lost you is deeply lost. You will never know how much we will miss...


    Farewell, our English rose, your legend will be immortal..."


    The sad songs not only spread throughout the church, but also spread to all parts of the UK following the signal of the TV broadcast, and reached the hearts of the nearly two billion viewers who watched the funeral broadcast.


    When this song full of memories and nostalgia sounded, outside Westminster Abbey, millions of people listened to the singing and watched the pictures on the big screen. They all covered their mouths and choked with feelings. Rich people have already burst into tears.


    "Farewell, our English rose!"


    They resonated strongly with the song. This song is so suitable for their beloved princess. May she be as immortal as singing! May she be like a candle in the wind in a song, never going out!


    Although I want to continue listening to this song in memory, the funeral will continue. Seeing the young man in the picture leaving the piano with solemn expression, most people have a strong sense of identification with him...


    If he used to think he was half of his own person, now he and the princess are the glory of Great Britain.


    Patting Nicole''s arm, Ryan sat back in his seat. After the Archbishop of Canterbury gave a sermon, the funeral memorial ceremony officially ended. Under the protection of the Royal Guard and the Welsh Guard, Diana''s coffin will be transported to Northamp. Dayton, buried on the small island of Althorpe Estate, the ancestor of the Spencer family.


    Only members of the royal family and the Spencer family can participate in the final burial ceremony, and the rest will be dispersed.


    "Ryan, I hope you can get back to the crew as soon as possible."


    When leaving the church to part, Spielberg solemnly instructed Ryan, "We have been delayed for a week, and time is very tight."


    "Don''t worry, Stephen, I will rush back to Ireland immediately after recording the single!" Ryan made a promise.


    "Hey, Stephen, we should go now."


    Tom Hanks winked at Steven Spielberg, and the two turned around and left.


    There is no need to look, Ryan also knows that a large number of reporters and paparazzi must have surrounded him, sighed, and immediately prepared for the storm.


    "Hello, Ryan, I''m a reporter from The Times. May I ask if the song you sang at the funeral was made specifically for Diana?"


    Although the reporter was stopped a few steps away by George and a few bodyguards, the voices of these guys were not inferior to Cameron.


    "Yes, this song is dedicated to the commemoration of the princess." Ryan knew clearly that it would be more troublesome to get away without giving these guys any sweetness.


    "Then you will release this song?"


    "Yes." Ryan nodded and said, "I have commissioned Warner Records to release this song as a single, and all the proceeds will be donated to the Princess''s Foundation."


    "Ryan, now there is news that the princess died in a car accident, but a conspiracy, what do you think?" This was obviously a paparazzi.


    "Miss Kidman, it is said that the princess called you on the phone shortly before the death, what did you say?" Someone asked Nicole who was walking beside Ryan.


    "Also, some people think it is the royal family..."


    Ryan and Nicole are not fools, how could they answer this kind of question, and immediately ignored them, under the **** of bodyguards, got into the car without looking back, and left this sensitive area.


    The car did not return to the hotel, and went directly to Warner Music''s London branch. Ryan signed a single release contract with Warner Music a day ago. After the recording is completed, the single will be released as quickly as possible. .


    Although Ryan clearly stated that his main focus will be on movies, Warner Records still has to fight for it. Even if there is no album, it is a good deal to get his future ep or single.


    Perhaps the profit will be limited, but the influence is extraordinary, and the songs he occasionally composed, such as the recent "My Heart Is Eternal", which can promote ordinary singers into popular singers, and can make powerful singers. A masterpiece of the queen of heaven.


    "If it''s boring go back to the hotel first." When she walked out of the recording studio, Ryan saw Nicole flip through the gossip magazine bored.


    "Just wait a while." Nicole just smiled back.


    "Ryan, we have been authorized, and the relevant parties will send past information and today''s funeral video as soon as possible."


    The music director of Warner Records rushed to London from Burbank specifically for this single and coordinated related matters.


    The single will be released in the form of mv, Ryan does not intend to shoot specifically, but let the editor provided by Warner Records edit from today''s video and Diana''s video.


    Originally, this song was written for the Princess of Wales. The horrible sales in the previous life have a great relationship with the release as soon as possible after the funeral.


    Since the music aspect is only used as a ticket, why not leave a record that is difficult to surpass?


    This is Ryan''s most true thought after Prince William visited his door that night, to create an unsurpassed record of weekly sales and total sales of singles! ()

 Chapter 269： Farewell, English Rose

    Thanks to the authorization of the British royal family and the Spences family, as well as the support of Prince William, Warner Records soon obtained a large amount of Diana''s video materials. Several editors worked overtime to edit the clips from them. Combined with some shots of Ryan in the memorial ceremony, it constitutes the picture of this mv.


    For Ryan now, the recording of the song is not that difficult. On the basis of the accompaniment set by Warner Records in advance, the recording was completed in only one afternoon.


    The song does not use multi-instrument mixing, but uses pure piano accompaniment, with Ryan''s mature singing voice, and the image of Diana in the mv, which can easily arouse people''s sad feelings.


    Because this song was no longer born for another superstar, Ryan simply changed the name of the song-"Farewell, the English Rose"-so that the memorial meaning of the song is more obvious and pure.


    The people of Great Britain who have always liked to cherish the memory will also untie their pockets more generously.


    However, before the release of the single, Ryan specifically asked Pai Jinsli to issue a public statement that all the proceeds of "Farewell, the English Rose" will be donated to Diana''s charitable foundation.


    As for Warner Records, it is stepping up the production of singles, using its own channels, and quickly distributing it to all major markets around the world. Even though the quality of this song is undoubtedly, it has great timeliness.


    After a week of intense preparation, the song was fully introduced to the market.


    In conjunction with the release of the single, a spokesperson for Warner Records also issued a statement that after deducting related expenses for the song, the proceeds obtained by Warner will also be donated to Diana''s charitable foundation.


    Although there is no TV commercial and no publicity, this song has always been the focus of recent times. After all, nearly two billion viewers around the world watched the broadcast of the funeral mourning ceremony, and Ryan''s singing left a deep impression on them. . This is already the best publicity.


    You know, during the week of record production and distribution, Ryan¡¯s personal website and Warner Records¡¯ hotline were all asking about the sound of the song. People who like Diana need a channel to remember what they admire. people.


    Although Diana was criticized for her private life, she couldn''t stop people''s enthusiasm for her. Regardless of the United Kingdom, the United States alone does not like the presence of the British royal family and many people who do not know Prince Charles, but Diana can win the favor of most people...


    Also, don''t forget who is the person who released this single?


    The enthusiasm caused by Ryan with "Titanic" is far from dissipated, and no songs have been released for several years. His huge number of fans has long been eagerly waiting.


    "Farewell, English Rose" went on sale in a quiet way, but it ushered in hot sales.


    In North America and all the Commonwealth countries, people lined up in front of the record store a few days in advance. In just a few hours after the single was released, most of the record store¡¯s inventory was sold out. Calls to urge the goods One by one, they hit Warner Music''s offices in various places.


    The regions where "Titanic" was screened and the countries Diana had visited. Sales are also very hot, and this song easily surpassed the momentum of "My Heart Is Eternal".


    According to rough statistics on the first day alone, at least one million singles were sold. If the supply is not tight across the board, this number will even double.


    This hot trend immediately stimulated Warner Records. They worked overtime to stock up, even if they claimed to donate related proceeds. In fact, there are too many operable places. Besides, this is also a good opportunity to further expand the influence and market share of Warner Music.


    Without any suspense, the single-day sales record, the fastest record of breaking one million and the fastest record of breaking two million, all fell apart in front of "Farewell, the English Rose".


    even. When the weekend of record sales hits, the major record chains in the English-speaking area have to put up signs saying "Farewell, English Roses" is out of stock...


    It''s not that Warner Records doesn''t work hard. But the preparation time is too short and the market response is too hot. Even if they are the leaders in the recording industry, they cannot afford such a huge supply in a short time.


    Even so, when the new week''s single sales statistics were released, "Farewell, the English Rose" broke the single weekly sales record held by "I Will Love You Forever" without any suspense.


    This song, composed by Ryan and performed by Whitney Houston, set a global single sales record of more than 130,000 on a single Saturday, including Ryan''s own "Cup of Life" and this year''s "Cup of Life". "My Heart is Eternal" couldn''t shake this number, and it was once regarded by music critics as a record that could not be surpassed in the short term.


    "Farewell, the English Rose" not only broke this record, the sales figures are still several times higher.


    Four and one hundred and fifty thousand copies, not to mention pop fans and so-called experts from the outside world, even Ryan himself was speechless after hearing about it.


    This record destined to be recorded by Guinness, I am afraid that no one can break it in decades.


    No one knows better than Ryan that after entering the new century, the Internet will become popular, and the traditional recording industry is shrinking rapidly. Such weekly single sales records are no less than a godsend for later pop singers.


    However, this is far from over. In the following month, Warner Records made full supply of the singles, riding the wind and waves like that big ship. In the stunned everyone, they sold more than 10 million sales, which will be a single in history. The highest sales record was embraced.


    Everyone is sighing that 1997 in the entertainment industry was a year that completely belonged to Ryan Jenkins!


    Of course, Ryan kept a sober mind while rejoicing. Needless to say, Big Ship, "Farewell, the English Rose" was able to make such a sensation because of the specific historical and social environment. Diana''s contribution to it Far more than himself. After all, the rock star who disappeared inexplicably in this life has also created a unique record in his previous life.


    "It is undeniable that "Farewell, the English Rose" can set a record, with specific factors, but this song is good enough, and the sadness and nostalgia in it directly touch the softest part of the heart. This can resonate and resonate Deep emotional music is good music. Ryan Jenkins did it this time!"


    Professional music magazines gave this song a very high evaluation.


    "Despite the great commercial success of "My Lover", the quality of those saliva songs is really unsatisfactory. This time Ryan has finally returned to the most essential music, creating and singing with his own heart and feelings. Maybe It was the death of this friend of Diana, which gave him endless sadness and inspiration to create such an excellent song in just a few days."


    "Regardless of the quality of the songs, just look at the record set by Ryan this year. After collecting the film¡¯s first week box office record and the global box office record, he seems to be unsatisfied, and once again put the singles in pop music. The weekly sales record and the total record are easily picked up. Perhaps we should call him Mr. Record Breaker? I believe that these records, especially those in music, will not be broken even in another 20 years."


    Although he could not get money from it, it brought Ryan a huge reputation, and unexpectedly, it also stimulated the box office of "Titanic".


    Perhaps entertainment is a good way to avoid grief. Since Diana¡¯s funeral, "Titanic" has seen a small increase in the box office in North America and the Commonwealth of Nations, and "Farewell, the English Rose" has set a single record. One week, there was a huge rebound in the North American box office.


    The nearly 80% increase has stunned all the experts, etc., causing the media to throw more praise on Ryan and "Titanic", and many theaters that are preparing to move down have changed their minds. , Re-signed a long-term contract with the issuer.


    However, everyone is surprised and understands that such an upward trend will certainly not last long. How many box office numbers a movie can obtain in the end depends on the accumulation of time.


    With the passage of time, the grief caused by Diana''s accidental death gradually faded. Whether Wuchao was a single or a movie, it returned to its original stable state, and speculations about the cause of her death and the commercial behavior of making a lot of money, It''s just started.


    A lot of media focused on Ireland, because Ryan starred in another film officially started, this epic masterpiece that is said to commemorate the victory of the anti-fascist war, will it be as successful as "Titanic"?


    This has become the most frequently asked questions by reporters around the crew in recent times.


    In fact, everyone understands that this is just booing and hype. The success of "Titanic" is extremely difficult to replicate. Not to mention others, even Spielberg thinks it is difficult to do.


    However, the collaboration between Ryan, Spielberg and Tom Hanks after "Cat and Mouse Game" was enough to cause a sensation. UU reading


    The battlefield of the small town converted from an abandoned air force base was filled with gunpowder. The roaring explosions were endless. Teams of elite German and dirty American troops shuttled back and forth, sometimes hiding behind abandoned buildings. ''.


    Ryan was carrying the M1 Garland rifle, constantly changing his hiding place amid Tom Hanks''s yelling of "shift".


    In fact, he couldn''t hear the sound of the scene at all, because the explosion was too loud. In order to protect the actor''s hearing, earplugs were added to everyone''s ears.


    As for the role of Ryan, naturally the protagonist who is not the protagonist is the rescued soldier Ryan.


    Originally, Ryan''s favorite character was Urban, but under the strong opposition of Pai Kingsley and Nicole Kidman, he had to give up this plan.


    In fact, there is some truth in what they say. The image changes too fast and too big, which may not be a good thing. If it cannot be accepted by others, it would be really a tragedy.

 Chapter 270： About 3 movies

    The most impressive thing about the whole movie is the battle for Omaha Beach at the beginning of the movie, and the offensive and defensive battle for the town at the end. Since Omaha Beach is now a protected area, and it has been a mere fact for many years, the crew had no choice but to I searched for a long and narrow beach in Ireland as a location.


    The props team and the art team are intensively setting up there, and there is still some time before the completion.


    As a result, the shooting of the town offensive and defensive battle was put at the forefront by Spielberg. In some ways, this was also to take care of Ryan, after all, he had to take care of his studies.


    If he is absent for too long, his grades this semester and later graduation will face a lot of trouble.


    Ryan is one of the investors and producers of this film. It is normal to enjoy a certain degree of preferential treatment, and no one can say anything.


    After Spielberg called to stop, the rumbling voice finally stopped. Ryan''s first action was to take out the earplugs from the pierced ears, and then sat directly on the ruins, and took the water glass that George handed over. , Drank a big sip.


    His physical strength is definitely the best among these actors. The scene just now constantly shifts and dodges back and forth, which consumes a lot of money, and it will inevitably be a little tired.


    Ryan was pretty good. Tom Hanks was sitting on the cement block next to him. He was dressed coarsely, and the water he drank in his mouth almost spurted out.


    "God, this kind of life will continue for two months. It''s horrible." Tom Hanks finally gasped and took a shot of Ryan''s rifle next to him. "I really envy you. Ryan. You can end the scene soon and return to Los Angeles."


    "Los Angeles?" Ryan deliberately said in a sighing tone, "Sunshine, beach. And beautiful women, it''s a paradise life."


    "What if you put you on an island? Or a deserted island with no one!" Tom Hanks asked suddenly and without end.


    "Desert island?" Ryan scratched his head strangely.


    "That''s it, Ryan." Tom Hanks thought about it for a while before he said, "After shooting "Forrest Gump", I got an idea. Um..."


    "It has something to do with the desert island?" Ryan frowned and thought.


    "Yes." Tom Hanks simply sat a little closer, "I think about a modern Robinson story, a workaholic with impatience. He was trapped on a deserted island because of a plane failure and lost him. In the interaction between people, the only purpose of life is to survive. Since then, his outlook on life has gradually changed..."


    Ryan listened carefully to Tom Hanks. He spoke for about five or six minutes, although he had a rough idea. However, it lacks sufficient logic and the story is quite confusing. The protagonist is a FedEx member for a while and a system architect for a while. This shows that Uncle Baozi''s idea of ??the story is far from mature.


    This is not surprising. Tom Hanks is a good actor, but not a good screenwriter or director...


    "Frankly speaking, Tommy." The two are considered old friends, and Ryan has nothing to taboo. "This story is a bit different, and your framework and logic are too confusing. Then you are the protagonist. There is no doubt that this will be a one-man show, and it will require the actors to perform explosively."


    "There are not many actors like Hollywood." Ryan added. "Of course, you are one of them."


    "Haha, Ryan." Tom Hanks said very seriously, "I believe you are one of them."


    "Then Tommy, what do you mean..." Ryan spread his hands.


    "Ryan, you know. I''m not the one who made the screenwriter." Tom Hanks stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes, "If possible, please take time to help me complete this story. ?"


    "Of course." Ryan nodded in response.


    Filming continued, and Ryan''s scene gradually came to an end. Several rival scenes with Tom Hanks resulted in a lot of applause from the crew.


    Especially the conversation between James Ryan and Captain Miller, the beautiful life in the lines and the joyful expression of Ryan when he recalled, set off the ruined walls of the battlefield, showing a different scene...


    This was also Ryan''s last scene. After Spielberg yelled for approval, the temporary set was greeted with warm applause, not only for Ryan''s outstanding performance just now, but also for his farewell.


    Although there are not many scenes, the role of James Ryan has a lot to be explored. He concentrates the image of the most ordinary soldier in the minds of Americans. He will be happy because of the past and cry because of sorrow. He works hard. Stick to your post, complete the tasks assigned by your superiors, and howl because of the fear of death. This is a very representative image in American movies.


    Ryan is very confident in himself, in several rival scenes, his performance is not weaker than Tom Hanks.


    It was with this confidence that he returned to Los Angeles and welcomed a New Zealand fat man who had been preparing for a long time in Jenkins Pictures.


    The large conference room was tightly shielded, and on the silver-white curtain in front, a full cg scene was slowly playing. It was a scene of Rivendell and Minastiris specially produced by Peter Jackson¡¯s studio. Only a few minutes.


    Although compared with previous movies, these fragments can only be described as rough, but Ryan has already seen traces of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the New Zealand fat man seems to be well prepared.


    "Peter, can you talk about the specific film adaptation plan?"


    Although he made a decision in his heart, after the clip was played and the lights turned on again, Ryan still sent out an inquiry. It was about hundreds of millions of dollars of investment. He had to be cautious. What if the big fat man in this world has a head cramp?


    "My plan is to follow the pattern of the novel and shoot into a trilogy." Peter Jackson looked over, and after Ryan made a continued gesture, he said, "On the basis of being as faithful to the original as possible, Make the necessary cuts, Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship team will be the focus, and the characters of Legolas, Jimley and others will be simplified..."


    The New Zealand fat guy is simply talking about it. Obviously, he has been planning for the adaptation for a long time and has a general plan in his mind. If it were not for the copyright issue, I am afraid that the preparations would have started long ago.


    Ryan didn''t have any guilt. If nothing else, he took the initiative to integrate the copyright early, saving the previous life Peter Jackson wasted a lot of time and energy due to copyright issues.


    So, I''m still a good person! Ryan''s face was already thick to a certain extent.


    "Do you have a preliminary budget? And a script?"


    Hearing Ryan¡¯s words, Peter Jackson lifted his spirits. Since he has asked so, he must be very satisfied with himself. "My Weta Studio and I have roughly made a rough estimate. Each movie only costs 7,500. Ten thousand dollars is enough, ah... I forgot, I plan to shoot the trilogy together, which can save a lot of unnecessary expenses. As for the script..."


    He looked at Ryan and hesitated.


    "Let''s do it, Peter." Looking at Julius Stewart, she nodded, apparently approving of this guy, and then Ryan made a decision, "Peter, the script is still left to your team. Have a budget..."


    Peter Jackson was happy at first, then surprised, "Ryan, 75 million dollars..."


    Before he finished speaking, Ryan interrupted, "Peter, I have a total budget of 300 million U.S. dollars for the trilogy. I may jointly invest. I will give you as much studio power as possible, and I can also accept the prestige. Part of the investment in Tower Studio, from now on, I hope you and your team will fully invest in this project."


    "No problem! I promise!"


    For Peter Jackson, this was a complete surprise.


    "Well, Peter, I''m waiting to see the results of your work." Now that the intention is reached, Ryan naturally assumes the style of the boss.


    Sending away Peter Jackson, Ryan hurried to a small theater nearby, and a trial meeting would be held there later.


    The production of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project. Not to mention the lengthy shooting, it is only the preliminary preparation. In Peter Jackson''s plan, it will take at least one year.


    Peter Jackson needs to set up a crew as soon as possible. After the advance funds of Jenkins Pictures are received, he will order sets, train horses, prepare props, select actors, find suitable locations, and even shoot this kind of magical epic film. More trouble than science fiction films.


    This can be said to be part of the reason why Ryan does not want to be involved.


    And after talking with Peter Jackson, he found that the other person¡¯s thoughts are roughly the same as those in the previous life movie. It seems that this guy has not been affected by the butterfly wings too much. Since the guy in the previous life did a good job, then let him be responsible. Up.


    The investment of 300 million US dollars is not a small amount of pressure for the current Jenkins Films Fortunately, the initial share of "Titanic" has already been paid, and this money does not need to be invested in a lump sum. , If the plan goes well, by the end of the century, you can even add a part of post-production funding for these trilogy.


    Of course, if several major film companies are willing to share part of the investment like "Titanic", Ryan welcomes with his hands. With these guys, if the clowns in the previous life still jump out after the movie is hot, then It can be considered a powerful thug.


    For some things, although his team has achieved the ultimate when integrating copyrights, under the temptation of huge profits, some people will inevitably be deceived.


    The car stopped in front of the theater, Ryan strode in, and saw Nicole and Jinsli walking around in the front hall, seeming to be waiting anxiously.


    "Has it started, Nicole?" he asked quickly.


    "I''m just waiting for you." Nicole rolled her eyes and took Ryan to walk quickly to the theater.


    The upcoming preview of "Eileen Brockovich" will naturally be held here. Ryan and Nicole have jointly invited many well-known media personalities and members of the film academy. The purpose is conceivable. ()

 Chapter 271： Im injured

    Warm applause sounded in this small theater. Dozens of people who stood up looked at the Australian woman in the front row at the same time. In the movie, she offered a performance that was even more seductive than "Small Island Cry". No matter the movie or the angle se, it is simply tailor-made for her.


    The film selection held a trial meeting at this time and was selected to be released in December. These people naturally knew the purpose of Jenkins Pictures. They stepped forward one by one, shook hands with the tall and beautiful woman, and expressed admiration.


    "Have you heard, Nicole, they approve of this movie, and your performance."


    After sending these guys away, Ryan also did not hesitate to praise, of course not only Nicole, but also the bald director, "Steven, the movie is great!"


    "It''s because your script is out of se." Steven? Soderbergh is obviously very good at being a human being, "And Nicole, it was your performance that supported this movie."


    This is true. In the eyes of Ryan, this movie has some changes in details, but the main frame is almost the same as in the previous life. All the scenes are to highlight Irene? Brockwich, highlight Nicole? The heroine Kidman.


    After entering the 1990s, how many of the actresses can win the Oscars with the role of normal people?


    The more rude, crazier, more handicapped, more sexy, and more hysterical angle se, the more favored by the Oscar judges, Irene? Brockovich undoubtedly possesses several of these factors, not to mention that she still carries the so-called typical American god.


    No matter who Nicole performed better with the previous life, this movie is selected for release now, which actually occupies a great advantage over the previous life.


    Strictly speaking, this is after all a biographical film adapted from real people and real events. It has only been a year since the sensational lawsuit in the United States ended. Many people are impressed, Irene? The name Brockovich has not been criticized as it was later, which has caused great controversy.


    In the eyes of the media and the public, is Irene now? Brockovich is the out-and-out civilian hero.


    Also, after the trailer of this movie is released, it officially enters the sprint stage of promotion and marketing, Irene? Brockovich became active again, always appearing in the media as an environmental fighter, and even got into trouble with Pacific Gas and Electric Company again, and hyped his deeds even more fiercely.


    This woman is very clever, even thinking about it. Is a woman who can persevere in taking down a conglomerate with a market value of more than 20 billion US dollars, really is the crazy woman in the movie?


    Ryan won''t say anything, but just let his public relations team contribute to the flames. The more active the woman is, the more helpful the movie will be to Nicole.


    "Irene? "Brockwich" is a biographical movie, and anyone with a discerning eye can see what it is aimed at. In fact, the preliminary work of public relations has already started. From now until the Oscar nomination is announced, it will be the most critical. Some time.


    Ryan is not too worried about "Titanic", but Nicole makes him worried, the last actor was Jeffrey? Rush won, it is impossible to have no effect on her.


    Back home, Ryan and Nicole did not stay on the first floor in a tacit understanding, and quickly walked up to the second floor. For a long time, they had been separated from each other, and the two pairs of eyes had already burned flames.


    "My dear, you are so beautiful in the movie."


    Entering his room, Ryan couldn''t wait to press Nicole behind the door, "In the theater, my heart was moved."


    "Do you need me to show it to you?" One of Nicole''s eyebrows was raised, and his eyes were extremely attractive.


    "It''s better to be another day." Ryan''s hand began to **, "You are beautiful enough now."


    "You are always...so anxious." Nicole''s nose hummed softly, her breathing inevitably thickened.


    "Because you are so fucking, dear Nicole."


    Ryan''s body was completely attached to Nicole, feeling the exquisite curve, bowed her head and kissed her forehead lightly, and her lips traversed the rounded eyebrows and the bridge of her nose, and finally landed on those two pieces. On the soft red lips, the tongue first licked it for permission, then pried two rows of silver-white teeth and found the other one. After fiddled with it, he unceremoniously inhaled it into his mouth.


    Her heart and soul seemed to have flown away, Nicole''s eyes were blurred, her arms were resting on Ryan''s chest, which widened the distance between the two of them, pulled off his coat in an extremely crude manner, and pulled away. After finishing the shirt underneath, Bengfei''s buttons were like bullets, scurrying around the room.


    The palm of his hand slipped from between Ryan''s neck and brushed every inch of his body forcefully. He was thinner than before, but he was stronger. The angular muscles felt great to the touch.


    Nicole¡¯s enthusiasm clearly inspired Ryan. He dexterously and skillfully disarmed the upper body of the Australian girl, leaving his mouth away from the slightly red and swollen soft lips, sliding down along the cow''s white and tender body, and his right hand was simultaneously lifted. Put up a skirt...


    "Wait, Ryan!" Nicole''s habit of calling a stop at a critical moment made Ryan abhorrent.


    Feeling that he didn''t stop, Nicole couldn''t help but squeeze her hand down, squeezing it in a light or heavy squeeze. Her lips came to Ryan''s ear, and her flexible tongue swept around his ear first, and then two The tight teeth bite on it.


    "It hurts~ it hurts~ do you want to murder, Nicole?" Ryan raised his head irritably, staring at Nicole closely, obviously a little unhappy.


    Things that were interrupted at such critical moments did not appear once or twice, and any man would be angry if they were replaced by it. If it weren''t for Nicole''s feelings, Ryan would have transformed.


    "What do you want to ask?" Nicole''s Xi, Ryan knows naturally.


    "I heard..." Nicole''s blurred eyes suddenly let out light, "During the promotion, you once left alone and went to New York?"


    "Yes." Ryan admitted decisively.


    You know, many people in the "Titanic" crew are familiar with Nicole. As a sister, she asks them about herself without difficulty.


    "Go to see Natalie?"


    Ryan felt that Nicole''s hand seemed to move stupidly, "Yes, Nat''s sixteen-year-old birth, I went to celebrate her birth..."


    After speaking, his hand moved, and his fingers were as flexible as playing a piano.


    There have been more interruptions, and Ryan certainly has the experience to deal with it, which is to use a stronger and more ** method to completely suppress the aura of the Australian girl.


    The fingers of the ** fell, and the woman''s singing sounded. Ryan knew exactly where Nicole''s weakness was. Within a few clicks, the clarity and sharpness in her eyes were gradually replaced by blur.


    "Ryan, wait... I still have... ah!"


    "Nicole, accept the punishment obediently."


    "Who is afraid of whom!"


    Behind the door, the piano, the desk, and the bathroom became a battlefield one after another. When the two were lying close to each other, the sky outside the window was already dark.


    The stars and moon disappeared without a trace, and seemed ashamed to see these messy scenes.


    "I... I swear, Ryan, if you treat me like this next time, I will definitely kill you!" Nicole gently rubbed her **, although she couldn''t see it, she believed she must have been swollen by this guy.


    "My dear, you should reflect on it first. Do you know how bad you are?" Ryan is plausible. Now he is not afraid of Nicole. "How many times have you stopped at a critical moment?"


    "Is there? Did I have it before?" Nicole glared at him again, "It really hurts!"


    "Well, my dear, don''t be angry." Ryan took Nicole into her arms and massaged her gently. "At the time, you were shouting hard..."


    "Shut up, Ryan." Ni could hit his chest hard with her forehead, but did not shy away from it, "Don''t you understand, what a woman says in excitement is not accurate."


    After being extremely excited, it is easy to forget some things. Ryan added in his heart, of course, he would not be so stupid to take the initiative to remind.


    Perhaps it was the suffocation from this period of time. Through the extremely intense exercise just now, all of them were **** out. Nicole did not intend to continue to question. The two made a few intimate teasers, and she thought of other things. thing.


    "It is said that the decoration of the manor you bought is about to be completed?" Nicole asked with a frown.


    "Before Christmas, it should be all over." Ryan kissed her frowning eyebrows. "I''m about to be eighteen years old, Nicole. It''s easy for us to live together for a long time. I''m already Let people spread the news of buying the manor for renovation..."


    "So you can''t wait to say so?"


    "Well, my dear, I have already apologized." Ryan understood that Nicole was deliberately looking for a ballast. "I admit, it was a bit rough and over-excited."


    "Then... should you make up for me?"


    Nicole pale blue se''s eyes kept turning, and only one word in his ear, Ryan''s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, "I am a man..."


    "Macho Nicole curled her lips in disdain, deliberately stretched a long waist, and more scenery was exposed under the feather cover, "I think I should take time off, what you said I definitely can¡¯t participate in this special training...


    "Nicole, you know, I specially invited people from Hong Kong with a high salary..." Ryan said in his mouth, but one hand fell subconsciously, and the soft touch came from his fingers, and he was caught Nicole threw it back.


    "I''m injured."


    In the crisp sound, Nicole gently patted **, "So..."


    "Really, Nicole, are you sure not to participate in the preparation period training of The Matrix?"


    In this case, if Ryan can bear it, it''s definitely not a man, "It seems that my punishment for you is far from enough."


    "What are you going to do, Ryan?" Nicole showed a horrified expression very cooperative.


    "I think I should show my authority at home..." Ryan fiercely pressed Nicole below. (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 272： Action guidance

    "Tiger, is this here?"


    After getting off the battery car in the movie theater, Yuan Heping and Yigan Wushi, led by their apprentice Tiger Chen, walked into the huge studio.


    This place has been set up to look like a martial arts gymnasium. Although it is a bit nondescript in Yuan Heping''s view, it is not easy to think that the other party is just a group of ghosts.


    Tiger Chen is different. He has been in the United States for many years, and occasionally deals with Hollywood crews. He is more familiar with this side. Under the introduction of him and an agent, he and the main crew including two directors The members, after a few greetings, can be regarded as acquaintances.


    Yuan Heping observed everything carefully, and the crew treated them very kindly and also very politely.


    Since the main actors have not yet arrived, everyone sat aside clearly and chatted about their own topics. Looking at this huge studio, Yuan Heping couldn''t help but think of the invitation he accepted.


    A few months ago, people from the Hong Kong branch of Paramount Pictures, with a few staff members who claimed to be Jenkins Pictures, came to the door and sent him an invitation, hoping that he could become the deputy of the film. Director and action director.


    In fact, when he saw the official invitation signed by Ryan Jenkins, he was immediately tempted, especially after he heard that the movie was a big investment with a total investment of more than 300 million US dollars.


    Even if this is a trilogy, the average capital for each movie is 100 million U.S. dollars. Such an investment is simply astronomical for a small Hong Kong film.


    Hollywood is the center of the world''s film industry. How many filmmakers in Hong Kong don''t want to go there? Jack Chen and Baige Wu also determined their status in the world film industry after they succeeded there.


    Not to mention. As a veteran filmmaker, he couldn''t see that Hong Kong films were rapidly declining, and the collapse was only a matter of a few years.


    The chain reaction brought by "Jurassic Park" that year was huge, after this year''s "Titanic" was released. The audience in Hong Kong fully understands what a real luxury giant production is, and the local movies are full of sorrow.


    In fact, Yuan Heping understands that this is a very normal phenomenon. Hong Kong¡¯s investment is very difficult to exceed 10 million yuan. What can be used to counter Hollywood¡¯s super giants in films that have been shoddy made in a few weeks?


    However, Hong Kong movies also have their own advantages, especially in action scenes, compared to the martial arts instructors here. The Hollywood action directors are at the kindergarten level.


    After a brief consideration, Yuan Heping agreed to the other party¡¯s invitation. Originally, he wanted to open his mouth and ask for a huge reward. Later, he inquired about the other party''s situation through Jack Chen and changed his original offer of 2 million US dollars to One million dollars.


    Even so, in subsequent negotiations, the other party compressed the price to 500,000 US dollars.


    Suddenly. A greeting sounded at the entrance of the studio. Yuan Heping''s eyes jumped when he saw the young man walking in the front. The other party was so famous that even people like him who didn''t watch Hollywood movies knew him well.


    Frankly speaking, Hong Kong movies are in the current dilemma, and the other party can be regarded as one of the culprits. After all, "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic" are both planned and invested by him, to some extent. It was these two films that changed the market and position of Hong Kong films in the Far East.


    of course. This can only be thought of, Yuan Heping still remembers. What Jack Chen said when he heard that Ryan Jenkins had invited him.


    Ryan Jenkins is not only a Hollywood superstar, nor is he the largest shareholder of Jenkins Pictures. He has an extraordinary position in Hollywood, not only on par with the giants of Hollywood''s major film companies, but also has a net worth of more than two billion US dollars. The movies he leads are a guarantee of sales.


    If he can join his film project, he can definitely break into Hollywood as soon as possible, and even gain an extraordinary status. The white pigeon who became popular after "Changing Face"? Wu is the best proof.


    After Yuan Heping came here, he asked someone to check the relevant information and saw the well-known movie and the huge box office numbers behind. He thoroughly understood why Jack Chen talked about Baige Wu Shi. Envy in his tone.


    Being able to stay here to develop and earn foreign devil dollars is much better than nesting in that small place in Hong Kong! This is Yuan Heping''s most direct thought.


    It''s a pity that he didn''t know that the young man who was walking over had completely different ideas from him.


    "Hello, Mr. Yuan."


    Looking at this pimple-faced guy, Ryan shook his hand over his stretched hand and said casually, "I have long heard that Mr. Yuan is a leader in the Hong Kong film industry."


    The other party replied a few words in stubborn English. Ryan didn''t care, but was attracted by a guy next to him.


    Isn''t this Keanu? Reeves''s good friend from the previous life?


    "Hi, Tiger."


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins." Tiger Chen was obviously a little surprised. He didn''t expect this famous Hollywood figure to know himself, "I didn''t expect..."


    "I didn''t expect me to know you?" Ryan laughed. "I heard of you a long time ago. You won the National Karate Championship, right?"


    Since it was the first time to appear on the crew, Ryan simply greeted the main cast and crew. Most of them were acquaintances, only the director''s sister and brother were relatively unfamiliar.


    Ah... No, one of them is still Rady Wachowski, and it hasn''t become Lana Wachowski.


    "Actually, Ryan, at the end of the eighties, our brothers had some similar thoughts, but some very simple thoughts. After the thoughts gradually matured, they discovered that your short novellas are far better than ours. The idea is creative."


    After the exchanges between the two sides, Andy Wachowski was obviously feeling a little sitting on one of the chairs.


    "In that case, I invite you and La... Rady to direct this movie is simply too correct." Ryan said indifferently.


    Ryan not only invited the original director, except for Nicole, even several major actors have followed the original team, such as Keanu Reeves, Lawrence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving and so on.


    In the temporarily renovated training ground, they are wearing white training uniforms, accepting the ravages of those martial arts masters. Fortunately, actors with dancing or movement skills can say that those who don''t have it can only enjoy the torment.


    You know, Ryan has opened a three-month training period for the movie.


    In addition, he has contacted major manufacturers such as mobile phones, sunglasses, windbreakers, and computers. If the operation is good, the embedded advertising revenue of this movie can even recover about half of the cost.


    This is not the dilemma of the previous life shooting. The craze of "Titanic" has not gone down yet, and his golden sign is now very loud.


    After exchanging some opinions about movies with the Wachowski brothers, Ryan walked to the side of the practice field, holding his chest in one hand and his chin in the other, admiring the misery of several actors.


    Nicole is slightly better. After all, she has considerable dancing skills, and some movements are not very difficult to do. Ryan has a deep understanding of this aspect. Sometimes the two are too excited, Nicole will use some super difficult movements.


    Nicole, who was pressing her legs, suddenly looked over and gave him a concealed look.


    Compared to Nicole Kidman, there are a lot of action scenes in the film, Keanu Keyves and Hugo Weiwen, that can only be described as sad reminders. They not only frown, but also make a howl from time to time. , It looks really horrible.


    Yuan Heping always stood on the side and didn''t mean to end. The main job was basically the tiger? Chen was in charge. Sometimes, he would call his apprentice aside and order something in Cantonese.


    Although not intentional, Ryan still keenly captured some of the vocabulary, perhaps because he did not expect that there are people here who can understand the local dialects of Chinese, and the voice of the other party is not too low.


    Hearing Yuan Heping¡¯s frequent mention of ¡°keep some¡±, Ryan could only shook his head. There was nothing wrong with keeping the housekeeping skills, but their ideas were a bit naive. This is Hollywood, and he is best at absorbing and learning other cultures. The world cinema center of strengths.


    The enthusiasm of filmmakers and their dependence on technology here are absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.


    According to the general practice, Hollywood action directors will not only carefully observe the movements of these martial artists when shooting a movie, but they will also use the camera to take them and go back and analyze it frame by frame. They don¡¯t even need to learn anything advanced. The stuff, the furs analyzed, are enough to deal with Hollywood-style action movies.


    Besides, kung fu movies will become the mainstream of Hollywood? It''s just a idiotic dream, it will only be popular for a few years at most.


    When Hollywood action directors grow up, they will completely turn kung fu-style actions into part of the Hollywood assembly line. These teams from Hong Kong can only go home.


    The reason is simple, there is exclusivity everywhere, and the cost of Hollywood assembly line action guidance will be lower.


    In fact, when these people set foot on this land, no matter what they do, the future is doomed. The only difference is how many dollars they can make from here.


    After all, Chinese Kungfu will still have market value in the next few years.


    "Hi, Keanu, your scream is probably over two hundred decibels!"


    Walking to the rest area, Ryan laughed at Keanu Reeves, who frowned, "Ryan, I regret now that I promised you to appear in this movie."


    "Then you are about to break the contract?" Ryan sat next to Nicole. "Are you ready to break the contract?"


    Keanu Reeves waved his hand vigorously in protest.


    "I regret it now, Ryan," Nicole said softly suddenly.


    "why?"


    "I will not only dye my hair black, but also cut it short." Nicole stroked her long hair dyed golden brown, very reluctant. ()

 Chapter 273： Star Wars Studio

    As a beautiful woman who loves beauty, Nicole naturally cherishes her long hair. She has never cut her hair short in these years. It is normal to complain at this time, but as an actress, she just complains. .


    "The Matrix" is still far away from the start of the game. Naturally, a dedicated person is responsible for the specific matters. As for Yuan Heping''s team, not only did the crew arrange a nearby residence for the Chinese in accordance with their requirements, but also specially invited Chinese chefs to take charge of regular meals.


    Although the news that Ryan was going to make a movie trilogy had long been spread, the crew did not attract much attention, because another heavyweight crew announced the official launch not long ago.


    After waiting for several years, American audiences finally waited for the news of the start of the shooting of "Star Wars" prequel.


    Leaving the studio that served as a temporary training ground, Ryan drove the battery car alone to the other side of the studio, George? Lucas¡¯ crew is currently filming here.


    "Hi, Liam, it''s been a long time since I saw you."


    Soon after walking into the studio, Ryan saw Kui Gang? King is the old acquaintance Liam who filmed "Schindler''s List"? Nissen.


    "Hello, Ryan." Liam? Neeson dressed as a Jedi. "You come to find George? Oh, it''s Natalie, isn''t it?"


    After speaking, he winked at Ryan, "She is in the break room."


    "Thank you."


    Ryan quickly found the actor''s lounge, said hello to the staff at the door, and walked in, only to see a girl in the shape of a virtuoso or Queen Amidala sitting on her high back. Chair.


    Although the other party and Natalie are so similar in shape, the **** thick foundation covers their faces, but Ryan and Natalie are so familiar with each other, and it''s just a glance that this is definitely not a Long Island girl.


    "Hello, may I ask... Natalie? Where''s Miss Portman?" Ryan tapped the wall lightly, attracting the other''s attention.


    "You...ah, she''s in it." The girl pointed to the dressing room next to her.


    "Thank you."


    With that, Ryan walked to the door and knocked lightly, "Nate, is it convenient? I''m going in."


    "Ryan!" The voice from inside was obviously delighted, "Come in."


    After pushing the door in, Ryan closed the door of the dressing room for the first time, and Natalie was standing opposite with a smile.


    She was wearing a costume. The maid dress of purple se was much more beautiful than the queen outside. The long hair of dark brown se was pulled behind her head, and the lines of her entire face were highlighted. Although it is not so beautiful, it is not attractive. .


    Ryan''s attention was completely attracted by Natalie, and there was no time to look elsewhere.


    "Ryan, you...well..."


    Natalie just wanted to say something, Ryan took a step forward and hugged her into his arms. He bowed his head and blocked the rest of the words.


    After separating in June, the two have never seen each other again. Ryan is unavoidably a little impulsive. With a little bit of pressure on his hands, his petite body is completely attached to his body. Natalie feels that her feet seem to have left the ground and her tongue is sucked in. A strange and familiar place...


    "Ryan...Ryan..."


    After finally getting rid of the entanglement of her tongue, Natalie gasped and said, "There will be my role in a while, you will spoil my makeup, and..."


    A knock on the door suddenly sounded, and then a girl''s voice came in, "Nat..."


    "It''s Scarlett, she''s back." Natalie frowned.


    Ryan had no choice but to let go. After she calmed down a bit, she opened the door, "Hi, Scarlett."


    "Ryan, when did you come?" The blonde girl walked in curiously.


    "He just arrived."


    As Natalie said, she obviously doesn''t want people to know about this relationship now, "Scarlett, you need to get George''s autograph."


    "Of course." Scarlett shook the signature book in her hand. "And Ivan? McGregor."


    Then, she looked at Ryan, then at Natalie, wrinkling her nose vigorously, "Why do I always feel that you are weird?"


    "Because we quarreled." Natalie rolled her eyes helplessly.


    Although she wanted to share her sweetness with her friends, she knew that it was not the time now. Scarlett was the most active age group. God only knew if this guy who often speaks but the brain would not spread it.


    Seeing Ryan''s indifferent expression, Natalie gritted her teeth bitterly. When she thought about it, this guy must be indifferent, but what about herself?


    Ryan? Jenkins'' girlfriend Natalie? Portman appeared in **** place, Ryan? Jenkins'' girlfriend Natalie? Portman is about to star in the **** movie... Natalie feels uncomfortable just thinking about this.


    Natalie knows very well that as long as this relationship is made public now, not to mention the outside media, I am afraid that Hollywood people will treat her like this.


    Friends and ** are two completely different concepts.


    "Why are you arguing, Ryan? Although Nat is a little proud, she treats her friends very well."


    On the way to the set, Scarlett? Miss Johnson still maintains a strong curiosity, and she talks endlessly, and even gossip jumps out, "Could it be that you wanted to pursue Nat but was rejected by her?"


    "Scarlet..." Ryan''s face turned black in an instant.


    I''m not ready yet, and there are a lot of people around me. If I spread it out, it would be really troublesome.


    "Okay, when I didn''t say anything." Even though I said that, Scarlett''s eyes kept spinning.


    "Scar, let''s just say a few words, this will cause trouble for me and Ryan."


    Natalie''s words obviously worked better than Ryan, Scarlett stuck out her tongue, and was completely settled down.


    "That''s right, Ryan." Natalie remembered at this moment and pulled the Queen Amidala. "Introduce, this is Keira? Miss Knightley, who plays my stand-in in the film."


    "Hello, Kayla...may I call you that? Thank you." Ryan shook hands with her.


    "Actually, Ryan, we met a long time ago." Kayla? Knightley recalled as he walked, "It should have been in 1992, when you held a "Harry Potter" signing event in London, and you once wrote me congratulations in the book."


    "Trafalgar Square?" Ryan showed a clear expression.


    In fact, he forgot to clean it a long time ago. After all, he signed so many books and records, how could he remember it.


    Same with George? Lucas said hello, Ryan and Scarlett stood quietly, watching the crew go back and forth busy, what is being filmed is Queen Amidala captured, Kui Gang? Kim and Obi-Wan? Kenobi rescued their shots.


    There are naturally no palaces and other buildings on the set. The actors are surrounded by green screens. This kind of performance is undoubtedly difficult, especially the two Jedi Knights. They are not as cool as they look in the movie. They always look like dancing light sticks. Kind of clumsy.


    "So that''s how Star Wars was filmed."


    During the break of the crew, Scarlett? Johnson couldn''t help showing a disappointed expression.


    "How do you think it was taken?" Ryan laughed.


    "There are robot models everywhere, laser swords gleaming, and Jedi knights are outstanding." As he said, Scarlett made several gestures.


    "Hey, Natalie, do you have time today? How about dinner together after work?"


    Natalie and her assistant walked over at this moment, and a young man followed her, chattering endlessly, "I know that the French cuisine in a restaurant is very special."


    "Sorry, Ivan." Natalie first pointed to Ryan and then to Scarlett. "We already have an appointment."


    "All right." Ivan? McGregor didn''t mean anything to be entangled.


    "That''s your future teacher, Ryan." Natalie said as she walked towards the dressing room, looking at the distant figure, "I''ll remove my makeup."


    "Teacher? What teacher?"


    Scarlett¡¯s words almost made Ryan cover her forehead. The girl was too gossip, so she had to explain a little bit, "In the next prequel, I will play his student... No, it¡¯s Obi-Wan? Kenobi¡¯s. student."


    "Oh..." Scarlett? Johnson nodded vaguely.


    "It''s still in the confidential stage, Scarlett, don''t tell others." Ryan asked.


    "Am I that unreliable?" Scarlett said humbly.


    Shaking his head, Ryan closed his mouth altogether, saying that apart from another blond little girl, you are the least reliable among the minors you know.


    But now Scarlett? Johnson obviously came out of the grief of his parents'' divorce. As for whether there will be a shadow in the future, only time will tell.


    By the time Natalie came out of the dressing room, more than half an hour had passed, she ordered a few words from the assistant, and walked over alone.


    "Ryan, can you send Scarlett home first?"


    "No¡­¡­"


    "Didn''t you say it''s good to have dinner together?" Scarlett obviously didn''t want to go home, "I''m still waiting for Ryan''s treat."


    "Then... okay." Natalie and Ryan looked at each other, then nodded, "Let''s go."


    Soothing music surrounds the surrounding The three of Ryan sat in the secluded partition of Mr. Zhou''s restaurant, tasting the food, while discussing topics of interest to each other in a low voice.


    "Scarlett, you eat too much." Natalie reminded the girl.


    "I think it''s okay." Scarlett didn''t care, swallowing the food in her mouth, "Eat whatever you want. This is the attitude of enjoying life."


    "That way the body will be out of shape."


    "But Nat, don''t you think you are too skinny?" Scarlett suddenly pressed her chest.


    Ryan couldn''t help rolling his eyes, it seemed that Scarlett was bigger than Natalie''s now...


    "I think this figure is very suitable." Natalie''s eyes drifted from Ryan, she knew he didn''t like traditional Western-style women.


    "I think everyone..."


    Just halfway through the conversation, Ryan''s mobile phone rang, and when he was connected, his eyes lit up when he heard the name and the matter mentioned by George. (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 274： Soup on the brink of bankruptcy

    George received the news from Garcia Rodriguez, who claimed that if they were interested, they could go to the theater near Hearst Manor later, which would be very exciting.


    Near Hearst Manor? This is where Tom Cruise''s mansion is located.


    For this kind of good show, Ryan will certainly not miss it.


    "George, let me send Scarlett and Nat back home." After leaving Mr. Zhou''s restaurant, Ryan ordered Mr. Bodyguard.


    "Where are you going? Go home?" Natalie was the questioner.


    "Hmm... there is something to do."


    Hearing what Ryan said, although Natalie was a little reluctant, she pulled Scarlett into a Bentley, "Well, Ryan."


    Sending off the two girls, Ryan got into the bodyguard''s car, made a gesture to George in the driver''s seat, the car galloped away, and made a small circle around Beverly Hills to get rid of There may be paparazzi behind.


    Arriving on the hillside area where Hearst Manor was located, the car did not move forward, but stopped in a hidden corner. After George called, he nodded to Ryan behind.


    A box truck with a moving company sign is parked in front of Mr. Cruise''s mansion. Several workers go in and out to carry luggage. The creamy face of the soup will appear in the field of vision from time to time, just in the past. The handsome appearance no longer exists, and the rest is haggard.


    "Not long ago, Cruise Pictures officially declared bankruptcy. Tom Cruise fell into a huge debt crisis. Many banks and investment institutions jointly forced him to get debts."


    As George recalled, he told Ryan about Tom Cruise¡¯s current situation, ¡°Due to the successive failures of the films he took, Tom Cruise hasn¡¯t received a film contract for almost two years. Several brands endorsed last year. After the contract expired, he also gave up to renew his contract, several banks including Citibank. After evaluation, he rejected his loan application. At present, he needs a large amount of money to pay off his debts, so he has to sell his luxury house... ¡­"


    It''s really miserable! Ryan pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, and this situation still couldn''t satisfy him.


    However, the scene at the door of Tom Cruise''s mansion made him smile even brighter.


    A woman with long black hair dragged a suitcase out of the mansion, followed by Tom Cruise. Waving his hands constantly and flipping his lips up and down, it seems to be holding back and it seems to be explaining something.


    The woman was not at all moved, she was determined to treat Nicole like a past-life butterscot. She walked firmly to a car on the side of the road, and after letting Lee go, she pointed to Tom Cruise and said something, although she couldn''t hear her. Clear, but judging from the expression. It won''t be anything to hear.


    I don¡¯t know when, more than a dozen paparazzi popped up around them. The camera in his hand kept shooting at the two of them, and they kept asking what they were. The noisy sound, even if it was a distance of tens of feet, was transmitted. Go to Ryan''s side.


    Probably being stimulated, Tom Cruise suddenly went crazy and snatched the camera from a paparazzi. Fell **** the road. The broken parts were flying around.


    This is not over yet, he took out his hands and feet when shooting an action movie. A punch hit the paparazzi in the face...


    "Let''s go, George." Ryan nodded to George.


    Now that things have developed, there is no longer any need to look at it. Tom Cruise is destined to get in trouble.


    "George, let Garcia find someone to contact the reporter who was beaten, and drag the lawsuit down." How could Ryan let go of the opportunity to get rid of the water dog, he thought for a while, and then said, "Let Scott find a way. , Set him a debt trap."


    Sony Records'' method of dealing with the black king, maybe we can learn from it?


    George didn''t speak, but just nodded to the rearview mirror. After so many years, he could see that the people behind were very kind to the people around him, and the treatment of those who didn''t matter could only be described as indifference.


    With eyes down, Ryan sneered in his heart, San Fernando Valley is your place, Mr. Tom Cruise!


    "Tom Cruise suffered a financial crisis and was on the verge of bankruptcy!"


    Although he was just a star, he was a superstar in the past. After several years of ups and downs, Tom Cruise finally had a chance to make headlines. Unfortunately, the parties never wanted to see these words.


    "Recently, Cruise Pictures officially declared bankruptcy. Regardless of this company, the debt owed by Tom Cruise alone is worth 60 million U.S. dollars. This former Hollywood superstar sold the company located in Beibei. A mansion at Foley Hill to pay off the high debt..."


    "Last night, surrounded by many media, Tom Cruise and his newly dated girlfriend, Miss Liv Taylor, staged a scene of antagonism. Because of financial problems, the two have almost changed from lovers. Becoming enemies, not only glaring at each other, but also filthy. I believe that if it were not for the presence of reporters, the two of them would most likely do it."


    "Afterwards, Miss Liv Taylor accepted our interview-we have been dating for almost two months, can you imagine? All Tom Cruise''s expenses in these two months are all paid by me, he He didn''t even have the money to buy a big size! He pursued me not because of love, but because of my credit card. Such a man makes me sick..."


    "Before publishing this article, we conducted relevant verifications. What the Miss Liv Taylor said is almost indistinguishable from the facts. I remember that in the past few years, some people in Hollywood called Tom Cruise a butterscot, maybe It''s time to change the title-the little white face who eats soft rice!"


    It¡¯s not just the people in the circle who are welcoming high and low, but also those media who fear that the world will not be chaotic. These guys now want to pull Tom Cruise completely into the mud pool, and then take a few more feet so that he will never turn over. Anyway, there are so many Hollywood stars, there are a large number of newcomers waiting to emerge, and there is no worries about the news without him.


    Also, he openly acted on the reporters, and they naturally couldn''t let him go on this point.


    "Tom Cruise not only broke the camera in the reporter''s hand, but also blatantly attacked and injured two reporters. One of them suffered a broken nose and multiple soft tissues in his face and neck. At present, this newspaper has reported to the police and reported to the Los Angeles District Court. After submitting a litigation application, justice will surely be served, and the assailant will surely be punished..."


    The paparazzi being beaten came from "California Liberty", a newspaper that sells celebrity gossip and pornography. Naturally, it will not let go of this kind of speculation.


    Not only them, most tabloid newspapers tend to make the same voice on such matters. Somewhat unexpectedly, some major newspapers are also in prominent positions and slammed Tom Cruise.


    "Perhaps the approach of entertainment reporters is a bit excessive, but there are many ways to solve the problem. Violence is the most undesirable one. Mr. Tom Cruise has obviously forgotten his social responsibility as a public figure. We are all saying that those who make mistakes will be punished, and the court should make a fair ruling on this matter."


    In the past few years, although Hollywood stars beat paparazzi, although there are not too many cases, there are always a few cases. The two parties involved tend to adopt a rational way to solve the problem. The number of court cases is rare. This incident is obviously Somewhat unusual.


    In fact, for those insiders with a keen sense of smell, they have realized that it is obvious that a big figure has reached out to intervene, and seems to want to borrow this matter to teach Tom Cruise a lesson, and even knock him off the dust...


    As for which big man? Who could have imagined that the teenager who was once insulted by Tom Cruise in public has now become a mountain that can only be looked up to.


    No one stood up and said anything, and few media distinguished Tom Cruise. Because of a falling dog, it was not a wise choice to confront a big figure in the rapidly growing circle.


    At the same time, Tom Cruise''s bad popularity has also emerged. In the past few years, especially the years when he became frivolous, he has offended too many people.


    Regardless of others, several former agents who were fired by him alone stood up and exposed his scandal and affair to the media.


    "His beliefs are abnormal, and when he is hysterical, it is simply unreasonable..."


    "I once witnessed him lying on the same bed naked with a young man."


    "In order to hype myself and increase exposure, Tom Cruise once asked me to use money to buy the editor-in-chief of the radio station..."


    "He is mean, selfish, arrogant, and never knows what respect is. He is definitely the worst star in Hollywood."


    Not only the agent, but also a few lesser-known actresses jumped out and suffered a lot from the media, claiming that in the early 1990s, for the sake of the future of the acting career, they had accepted some of Tom Cruise¡¯s Without request, have **** with him in exchange for the opportunity to perform.


    This is really the wall pushed by everyone and even the media can''t wait to buckle the title of "Salted Fish That Can Never Turn Over" on Tom Cruise''s head.


    When attending Diana¡¯s funeral not long ago, the other party was gentle and humble in front of the public, but Tom Cruise knew that that person had never relaxed his observation of himself and was waiting for the opportunity to take action, which made it so small. The incident was so raging, if the other party did not intervene, he would never believe it.


    Ryan Jenkins is no longer someone he can laugh at and slander him. In fact, without him, I am afraid that Nicole Kidman''s madness would be unbearable for himself.


    However, Tom Cruise never thought that he would be like what the media said, and would never have a chance to stand up again. As long as he survived this most difficult period, he might not be able to rise again.


    Besides, I still have fan support and some commercial value...


    No, a foundation not only agreed to his loan, but also plans to cooperate in filming.


    I can definitely come back, become a superstar in Hollywood, and become a top figure that Ryan Jenkins does not dare to shake easily! ()

 Chapter 275： Surprise cocktail party one

    People come and go in the Grand Ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel, celebrities and celebrities are everywhere, a glass of champagne is delivered from the waiter, these people congratulate and praise in unison, even if some people are not surprised at all Super hero.


    Michael Eisner is one of them. Surprising superheroes are indeed very distinctive, but they have never proven themselves on the big screen.


    Although smiling, he took the initiative to congratulate Avi Allard, but only Michael Eisner knew what he thought.


    Seeing the young man standing in the crowd, Michael Eisner frowned. Although he was not optimistic about the superhero, no one dared to ignore his existence.


    In the past few years, the other party has fully proved its vision in movies, even the several acquisitions in the commercial area, it can be called a magical stroke.


    Needless to say, Pixar, who is still unable to let go, even the Blue Sky Studio, which was not even the ugly duckling at the beginning, has shown strong technical strength in the post-production of "Titanic", which has made the entire industry admire.


    Thinking of "Titanic", Michael Eisner has a kind of irritable impulse. He wholeheartedly hopes that the other party will stumble on the movie, but it has created an unprecedented great success.


    Whether in private or in public, Michael Eisner no longer talks about Ryan Jenkins¡¯s future as before, and what will happen to Marvel Comics. The other party has already created too many miracles, only God. Only then did he know if he would continue the magic.


    Besides, many people in the board of directors have now united and voiced doubts against him. Is it worth it to have **** with Ryan Jenkins because of Pixar?


    This is a celebration reception for the establishment of Marvel Pictures, a subsidiary of Marvel Comics. Marvel did not choose New York as its base camp. Instead, it chose Burbank, which is closer to the World Cinema Center, since it was acquired in 1996 until now. After more than a year of preparations, this heavyweight department was formally established.


    At the same time that Marvel Pictures was established, its first film has also entered the stage of launching soon, it is "Blade Warrior".


    This can be regarded as a test of the Marvel Comics heroes and a pre-heated work. As long as the performance of the movie is not too bad after the movie is released next year, subsequent productions will appear one after another.


    Ryan''s control of the game was completely handed over to Avi Allard and Stan Lee, and the others were also greeted by Pai Kingsley and Scott Swift, his absolute majority shareholder. On the contrary, a lot of leisure.


    Of course, this is only a relative term. After all, many of the guests who came to celebrate were acquaintances, such as the top executives of several film companies such as Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, and Twentieth Century Fox.


    "Hi, Ryan, why don''t you adapt the script yourself?"


    When he appeared at the reception, many people naturally gathered around, and the question was Jon Landau.


    "Jon, no one knows the characters they created better than the amazing team of screenwriters. I believe them." From the adaptation to the preparation of this film, Ryan just provided some opinions without too much intervention.


    After more than a year, Avi Allard¡¯s ability is beyond doubt. The story is guarded by the old guy Stan Lee. Surprise Pictures recruits mature employees in the industry. I believe it will not do too badly.


    "How about giving the movie to us for distribution?" Jon Landau asked tentatively.


    "Aren''t you worried about the movie losing money?" Ryan laughed.


    In fact, because of Ryan''s little intervention, the major film companies have almost no interest in "Blade Warrior". There is no intention to invest either. To be precise, they are the same as everyone else. It is in the wait-and-see stage.


    "Hey, Jon, you can''t be greedy." Grant Hill ended the conversation with his companion. Turning his head, "Paramount has already obtained Pixar''s film distribution rights. Let''s hand it over to Twentieth Century Fox to distribute the superhero."


    "In fact, Warner also has this intention." Gerald raised his glasses to several people.


    "Why not choose Universal Pictures?" Ron Meyer happened to walk over with his daughter.


    "Everyone." Ryan raised the cup to everyone, ""Blade Warrior" is just a work to test the waters. It''s hard to say how effective it is. If the film is successful, we have a lot of opportunities for cooperation."


    Those superhero movies with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, or even close to 200 million dollars, let alone Surprise Pictures, even letting Ryan spend so much working capital out of his own pocket will also feel a headache. They want to carry out thorough commercial development and cooperation. It''s the kingly way.


    "Then we wish Surprise Pictures a success in this project."


    I don''t know whose proposal is, and everyone agrees. Their circle of people has both competition and cooperation, which can be regarded as a loose community of interests.


    "The only pity is that we at Universal Pictures did not participate in the "Titanic" investment." Ron Meyer was still a little emotional. At the beginning, he chose "Future Water World", but he almost stepped down because of it. Fortunately last year, he reached the "Titanic". After the cooperation intention of "Jurassic Park 2", the situation has stabilized again.


    "The box office of 1.6 billion dollars is incredible." Shirley Lansing also walked over at this time, with a brilliant smile on her face, "Maybe the final box office of the movie can hit two billion dollars!"


    Paramount Pictures is one of the investors. The higher the box office of the movie, the more popular the surrounding sales, the higher their income will naturally be.


    "Ryan, can you ask, when do you plan to break the record of "Titanic"?" Jennifer Meyer joked with fun.


    "No, no." Ryan pulled out the truck driver who was watching the show from the crowd. "The film can be a success, and James has done the most."


    "Really? Why didn''t I think so?" James Cameron stared. "Then ask, Ryan, when will you pay dividends for me, the person who has done the most."


    "Oscar at the latest, I promise, Jim." Ryan squeezed his eyes on purpose and said jokingly, "How about this proposal with the best director''s golden man?"


    "Wow, this is so cool."


    Everyone laughed again, because the tone of Ryan and James Cameron was obviously joking.


    "James, are there no plans to film lately?"


    "No, "Titanic" consumes too much of my energy. I need a long enough vacation." James Cameron rolled his eyes and asked Harvey Weinstein who was just talking, "Harvey , Do you intend to spend 300 million dollars to make a movie?"


    "You better kill me."


    "Titanic" was a major success. Although the sequelae to James Cameron was not as huge as in the previous life, it was not small. After all, his just-finished film production budget reached 250 million US dollars, and he wanted to hire him for the film. How much budget do I need to set aside?


    Besides, most people believe that the film can be successful, and Ryan¡¯s appeal has played a key role in it. What is the use of having only one James Cameron?


    Once an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars fails, even the seven major film companies have only one path to bankruptcy and reorganization.


    Several people talked and laughed while dealing with people who came to say hello. So many high-level figures from film companies, big directors and big producers, leaning against Ryan, would become the center of the banquet hall without even thinking about it, even if it¡¯s just a quiet place. corner.


    "John, Chris, I didn''t expect you to accept the invitation."


    The two people who came hand in hand were John Lasseter from Pixar and Chris Wedge from Blue Sky Studio.


    "Yes, let''s ask, when will your boss go to the studio to take a look?"


    "I''m just a layman, you know." Ryan spread his hands and shrugged, "I''m relieved to have you experts here."


    "By the way, John, when will "Bugs" and "Toy Story 2" be completed?" Shirley Lansing asked concerned.


    ""Bugs" will be completed next year, "Toy Story 2" will be in 1999."


    Probably because they saw that they had something to talk to Ryan, the people around gradually disappeared. After Chris Witch waited for no one nearby, he said, "Ryan, we made the animated short "Bunny Bonnie". Will participate in this Oscar competition, an animated feature film..."


    "Animated feature film?" Ryan raised his chin and asked curiously, "Are there any specific plans?"


    "That''s what we planned." Chris Witch lowered his voice. "To make a story about prehistoric animals, probably during the Ice Age, between them and humans."


    "Let''s do it, you send the specific plan." In case of any accident, Ryan still took insurance measures. "If there is no problem, the funds will be in place as soon as possible. I remember the promise to you. "


    Although the biggest role of the cocktail party is communication, the work that surrounds Ryan is more. Cooperative projects and co-produced films are the basic intentions reached on this occasion.


    For example, "Mission: Impossible", after the selection of the actors, Jenkins Pictures accepted the investment from Paramount and Warner Bros. and will co-produce the film.


    Of course, Ryan will not let out the copyright and related permissions of the sequel.


    In addition, "Blade Warrior" also finalized the main actors, they also participated in tonight''s cocktail party.


    The male protagonist is still black, but not the one in his previous life. However, in superhero movies, as long as the actor is not too outrageous, it doesn''t really matter who he is replaced. This kind of movie is the most typical role achievement actor.


    There is also the action guide, also from Hong Kong, Ryan didn''t say much, just shook hands with the man surnamed Zhen.


    The heroine makes Ryan shine. This is not the famous "trouble" lady in Hollywood in the past life, who is known as an expert on couple dismantling. ()

 Chapter 276： Surprise Cocktail Party II

    This woman wears the unrestrained and unruly Latin girl''s characteristic, smooth and shiny dark brown long hair, captivating eyes and plump red lips, all showing her outstanding talents, and she can hook so many men in her previous life. The star''s head overwhelmed has broken many''model'' couples'' relationships, which is enough to prove their charm.


    Well, Ryan admitted that the reason why he can remember her has nothing to do with her beauty.


    Penelope Cruz''s previous life was the key figure who liberated Nicole Kidman from the vortex of Tom Cruise.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins, can I call you Ryan?" Penelope Cruz is the number one actress in Spain, but she is still a small role in Hollywood.


    "Of course, Miss Cruz." She shook her hand, and when Ryan took it back, he felt a finger lightly stroked his palm.


    "Call me Pepe, my friends call me that."


    Pepe? An image flashed across Ryan''s mind. A sturdy monk dressed in white, flying kicked the top students who graduated from La Masia Film and Television Academy to the ground.


    "When facing a lady, do you often lose your mind?" Penelope''s eyes were just right with a grudge.


    "Sorry, sometimes I..." Ryan nodded his forehead, "The idea is strange."


    "Can I invite you for a drink?" Penelope took two glasses of red wine from the waiter''s tray, and then seemed to wake up, "Sorry, I forgot you can''t drink."


    "It''s okay." Ryan beckoned for a glass of juice, and raised her glass, "Miss Cruz...well. Pepe, let me think...it should be "Angel Love", I remember that one There seems to be you in the movie?"


    "It''s just a small role that doesn''t have much weight." Penelope and Ryan touched the cup, "Speaking of which. I also want to thank Surprise, this is the role I got the most weight after I went to Hollywood."


    "Although it is a vase." She added with a little regret.


    "So, you have been in Hollywood a long time?"


    Hearing what Ryan said, Penelope sighed. He said with emotion, "I was here in 1994, but unfortunately there has been no suitable role. In the past two years, I have mostly moved between Spain and Hollywood. Although I participated in many auditions, I have not won a few roles. "


    "This is Hollywood. The reality is scary." Obviously, she is a smart person. Not in front of Jews like Ryan. Talk about discrimination or xenophobia.


    Ryan just smiled. He didn''t say anything. Although he didn''t understand this woman, he had always seen some real or fake news in her previous life. Judging from the methods she used to intervene several times, it was obvious that she was a very thoughtful woman.


    Past life. She truly integrated into Hollywood by borrowing the power of another man.


    "Very pleasant conversation. Sorry, I have other things." Ryan raised the cup to her again and turned to leave.


    "Ryan." Penelope took a step and stepped to his side. "May I know your personal contact information?"


    A woman who is very direct and knows how to seize opportunities! Ryan hesitated for a moment and reported a series of numbers. As for whether the other party could remember it, it was not in his consideration.


    What he didn''t expect was that while questioning, Penelope took out a lipstick from his handbag and quickly wrote the string of numbers in his palm.


    Women who can mix in Hollywood, sure enough, none of them are simple goods.


    Penelope¡¯s series of actions reminded Ryan of Charlize Theron. Although the South African Diamond has used some methods and has a bit of ambition, he can feel that the other party has put a lot of affection on him. .


    What is this Spanish woman going to do?


    Maybe someone can introduce her to Tom Cruise, and see if the man and woman in the previous life will sparkle? Maybe there will be a wonderful gossip scandal to watch.


    When walking towards the lounge on the side of the banquet hall, Ryan dismissed the idea. Based on Mr. Cruise¡¯s current situation, it is estimated that he would stand in Penelope... No, even if he was lying in front of Penelope. She, it is estimated that she would not look at him directly.


    "They didn''t make trouble, did they?" Ryan asked George, who was standing at the door of the lounge.


    "It won''t make trouble, it''s just a bit noisy." Mr. Bodyguard is obviously not the opponent of the little guys inside.


    He opened the door and walked into the lounge. Ryan looked at the three girls sitting inside. Although two of them were staring, nothing went wrong.


    As expected, these three girls can be regarded as rich in backgrounds and all received elite education. In recent years, they have frequently followed their parents in high-level social occasions. Even if they are still young, they basically know what to do when and what to do.


    "Hi, honey, you guys look a little boring." Ryan pulled the chair and sat next to them.


    "Yeah, I knew I wouldn''t be coming." Scarlett Johansson shook his body boredly, "Why go to the studio to find Nat."


    "Nate is very busy. I went yesterday. She didn''t have time to speak with me." Taylor took the conversation. "That''s why I pestered Dad and Aunt Sloan to bring us here."


    "But this is a social occasion for adults." Scarlett snorted.


    "Don''t say you don''t want to come. In the afternoon at Jenkins Pictures, you made this idea!" Crossing the River Demolition Bridge described Taylor as it is now.


    "You..." Scarlett''s eyes widened.


    "Can you two not quarrel?" Christine, who has the worst sense of existence, said weakly.


    "She was the one who quarreled with me first..."


    "She was the one who quarreled with me first..."


    The two blonde girls stared again.


    "You two, shut up!" Ryan patted the arm of the chair lightly.


    "Huh~"


    Rubbing his forehead, Ryan suddenly realized that entering here was simply the biggest mistake. Fortunately, there was still a chance to make up. George was staring at the door. These two little guys couldn''t turn the sky, so hurry up.


    "Ryan."


    Just when he was about to leave, Taylor spoke suddenly, his tone was better than ever, "We are good friends, aren''t we, Ryan?"


    "What''s the matter with you?" Ryan became alert.


    "That''s it, my dad discussed with my mom and said that for my future, he wants to send me to the boarding music school in Nashville." The little girl''s mouth has been pouted, obviously not willing, "but... but me I don¡¯t want to leave Los Angeles."


    "My dear, this is for your own good." Ryan felt that his enlightenment teacher was a bit dereliction of duty. In the recent year, he has not only been busy with work, but also has to take care of his studies. The number of times he can teach her is really limited.


    "But... I don''t want to go."


    "There is always a reason, right?" Ryan opened his hands, "I always have a reason to convince your father."


    "When I go there, I can''t see you, I can''t see Nicole, and I can''t play with Christine, and..." Tyler''s gaze fell on Scarlett, "Even if there is a fight. , This little fat girl is no longer an opponent."


    "How many times have I said, don''t call me a little fat girl!" Scarlett immediately exploded her hair, "Miss Swift, look at you now, you are a veritable little fat girl!"


    "I''m baby fat..."


    "..."


    What a hell! Walking out of the lounge and closing the door, Ryan finally felt a little cleaner in his ears, frowning and remembering what Taylor had just mentioned.


    In fact, the current Swift family is much richer than the previous life. Although not a first-class rich person, they are also very wealthy. Even if Taylor has nothing to do, he will become a celebrity when he grows up.


    However, the little girl is extremely obsessed with pop music, and she also showed her talent in this area. Her biggest dream is to become a singer. Scott naturally wants to help her daughter realize her dream. Only then will she have the plan to send her to the music sacred place.


    Of course, learning music is not the only way to go to Nashville.


    Scott is not the kind of stubborn person, obviously there is a small problem in the communication between the father and daughter. After Ryan found him, he just said something casually, and he laughed.


    "Her mother and I have never forced her." Scott obviously felt a little emotional. "When Alison had anything to worry about, she always went to Nicole. Now Nicole has gone to Australia. I didn''t expect to find you, Rui. Yep."


    "Let''s do it, Scott." The other party is Taylor''s guardian, and Ryan is only suggesting. "Taylor has shown enough talent and interest. I said hello to the people at Warner Records and let Taylor be in his spare time. Time, go to them to receive formal training and learning."


    "That''s okay." Scott nodded, "I will discuss with Pat to see if she wants to be Alison''s agent."


    With the trust and friendship built up by these people over the years, would you like to send? Jinsli will never refuse.


    "Ryan..."


    Hearing the voice from the other side, Ryan made an apologetic gesture to Scott and walked towards Avi Allard and Stan Lee.


    "Have you read the script of "Blade Warrior"?" Stan Lee asked impatiently after Ryan walked in.


    "I''ve seen the electronic version, Stan, a great story." Superheroes or something, as long as the logic works, don''t make any literary styles, and the plot is well controlled. Generally speaking, you won''t encounter too many problems.


    "I heard that you are targeting the X-Men next?" Ryan asked.


    "Yes." Stan Lee couldn''t wait to show his children on the big screen. "We plan to create a series."


    "As long as your script is exciting enough, I will be responsible for the funding." On the basis of retaining the complete copyright, Ryan intends to continue co-production.


    "I think you should have read the related comics, can you make some suggestions?"


    "A Magneto who is both righteous and evil, I think it will make people like it more, and it will allow Charles and Eric to have more interaction...well, and Ruiwen..." ()

 Chapter 277： Dig the foot of the wall

    After the reception, John Lasseter did not leave immediately. He walked to the West Caf¨¦ of the Four Seasons Hotel. Since the other party can pass the message through his friends, he won¡¯t be a stranger. I don''t know who the person who dated me is? What''s the purpose?


    Under the guidance of the waiter, he came to a quiet partition and saw the man sitting at the table slowly sipping coffee. John Lasseter frowned. How could it be him?


    Perhaps few people in the general public know him, but as a Hollywood insider, how could John Lasseter not know the helm or tyrant of Walt Disney?


    "Please sit down, John."


    After John Lasseter sat down, the waiter had served coffee and took the initiative to stay away from the partition.


    "It is said that Pixar''s new animated feature film is about to be completed?"


    Probably it has been in control of Disney for too long, and certain things have become habit unconsciously, and Michael Eisner seems a bit strong.


    "It will probably take a while." John Lasseter slowly sipped his coffee.


    As an active-minded creator, he extremely hates this kind of atmosphere, this kind of atmosphere that restricts free thought.


    "John, have you ever thought of returning to Disney." Michael Eisner did not have so much hypocrisy and politeness, and directly stated his purpose.


    "Back to Disney?" John Lasseter frowned, and the other party''s answer was within his expectations.


    In fact, since "Toy Story", many companies have approached him, including Disney''s animation department. But he refused one by one.


    "I remember you left Disney in 1984 and joined Lucas'' company. There are traces of Disney that can''t be erased on your resume..." Michael Eisner suddenly laughed and said slowly and forcefully, "Back Disney, in charge of Disney¡¯s animation department."


    His eyesight was scorching, and the opponent was only Pixar''s executive creative vice president. Even if you have some Pixar shares in your hand, it will never be too much. To be in charge of the animation department of a super giant like Walt Disney is a great honor and temptation...


    You know, for half a century, Disney''s animation has always been the number one in Hollywood, and even the number one in the world.


    Unfortunately, Michael Eisner ignored it. He has been suppressing Disney''s animation department. Disney''s animation department may still rank first in Hollywood, but even the layman can see the downward trend.


    If John Lasseter is not tempted, it must be false. He graduated from the California Institute of the Arts, and his first intern job was at Disney. His growth was closely tied to Disney. His youth and dreams were left there.


    However, I saw the man sitting opposite, this Disney dictator. John Lasseter''s heart faded.


    Who is Michael Eisner? Crimsonism, illegal use of power, control of the board of directors, most importantly, he has always disliked animated films, and has been reducing investment in animated films. This has spread throughout the industry.


    Also, would he really give the power of the animation department to an outsider like himself? John Lasseter believes that if he changes his job on the front foot, the opponent will prepare a deputy for him...


    If there are no ready-made examples for comparison, John Lasseter might still think about it. The problem is that another person always trusts them and always supports them, even in the most difficult times, even if everyone sees them. When declining them, he still invested heavily.


    If this is only the case, John Lasseter will only think that the other party is a smart investor in gratitude.


    However, after the other party bought Pixar, apart from financial supervision, he did not interfere with any of their decisions. He completely entrusted Pixar''s future to his group of idealists.


    Pixar¡¯s corporate culture, Pixar¡¯s philosophy, Pixar¡¯s persistence, and Pixar¡¯s freedom are the keys to their success.


    Can Walt Disney do this now? Can they do the decentralization of Ryan Jenkins?


    "Mike, I think...it takes a long time to consider." John Lasseter declined gently.


    "I''m waiting for your good news." Michael Eisner stood up, leaving the last sentence before leaving, "John, the doors of Disney will always be open to you."


    Looking at the distant figure of the other party, John Lasseter thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the phone of the person who never harassed them.


    Hung up the phone, Ryan lay down on the bed and stretched a long lazy waist. Michael Eisner would dig Pixar¡¯s corner. This is normal, but it¡¯s a pity that Disney is not in the new century, and smart people don¡¯t. Join this muddy water at this time.


    In fact, after the success of "Toy Story", digging Pixar technicians happened from time to time, and some people also chose to buy out their contracts and switch jobs.


    However, whether it is Ryan or Pixar''s senior executives, they don''t care much. Hollywood has never blocked film technology. Only constant exchanges can drive the development of the entire industry.


    As long as Pixar maintains its own corporate culture, maintains the stability of its core personnel, and appropriately replaces the old with the new, it is intentional and harmless.


    Besides, Pixar cannot dominate the entire 3D animation market, otherwise, not to mention other interest groups, the federal government will be the first to find trouble, and the monopoly law is not a display.


    The core personnel of Pixar are idealists. Although in the face of sufficient benefits, ideals are empty. The question is, can the current Michael Eisner and Disney¡¯s management give enough benefits?


    Ed Camel, John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and others not only hold Pixar shares, but salary and dividends are also among the top levels in the industry.


    Disney''s board of directors, will John Lasseter or a few others, once again break the balance of Disney''s management? Michael Ovitz¡¯s lessons for the past are right in front of him. When Michael Eisner advocated the introduction of this senior, when he was forced to resign, he not only took away 200 million US dollars in compensation, but also made the court order Disney¡¯s directors to bear joint and several liabilities. Liability.


    Even Michael Eisner¡¯s supporters on the board have to consider whether there will be the next Michael Ovitz.


    Also, will other companies give them the freedom that Pixar has given to these core personnel?


    "What are you thinking about, so ecstatic?"


    Nicole Kidman walked into the bedroom, holding a few disks in his hand, "Need a supper?"


    "A lion jumped out to bite someone. I was thinking how I could not be bitten by it, um... I can kick him a few times as a counterattack."


    Ryan lifted his head, and his eyes fell on the Australian girl. Nicole had just taken a shower. Her blond hair was wet and draped behind her head. The short bathrobe was tied loosely on her body. The neckline was sewn. Her movements will reveal beautiful scenery from time to time.


    Because of the hard training, Nicole did not attend the evening reception. She will go to Australia tomorrow. Antonia Kidman has just experienced the pain of breaking up and needs her comfort. It is estimated that she will stay there for a while. time.


    Even if it is two lives, the women Ryan has been close to can be counted with just a few fingers. The slender and slender body of the Australian diamond girl and the wild and unrestrained body covered in coldness, for him now, there is something wrong with him. Same as general attraction.


    "Does it look good?" Nicole naturally noticed his gaze, knowing how to increase the fun and freshness between the two, "Do you want to see more?"


    At first glance, this woman looked as cold as ice, but she was wild like a tornado in New Orleans...


    I don¡¯t know when, Nicole Kidman tied the thin strip of the bathrobe and dropped it on both sides. She stood in front of Ryan, half-concealed, clearly wanting someone¡¯s life. When Ryan was full of anger, she suddenly turned around and walked to the side of the disk placed on the small table, and took out a bright red strawberry from it.


    The slender eyes with endless charm, narrowed into a slit, and the corners of the eyebrows from time to time twitched Ryan''s heartstrings. What''s more, the bright red strawberry was sandwiched between the two slender fingers. His forehead slowly rolled down, across the tall nose, soft red lips, slender gooseneck...


    In the wild, the Australian girl showed a more careful side. She knew how to arouse the man''s interest in herself.


    However, just as the atmosphere in the bedroom was about to reach its peak, Ryan''s mobile phone that was thrown on the bedside table suddenly rang.


    "Ryan, can you turn it off..."


    Although he wanted to do this, there are only a few people who know his private number. Those who can call at this night must have urgent matters.


    "Shhh..." Ryan raised her index finger to Nicole and connected to the phonePat..."


    "Ryan, our people contacted Mr. Spearman, and he agreed to transfer the right to adapt the memoir to Jenkins Pictures, but made some..."


    "The price?"


    "No, the price he asked for was extremely low, and he didn''t care about the money. His only request was to donate half of the movie''s proceeds to several Jewish survivor organizations."


    "Promise him, I must get this memoir as soon as possible." Ryan suddenly felt his scalp numb, and the strange taste almost made him tremble, and he couldn''t help taking a long breath, "hiss..."


    "Did something happen, Ryan?"


    "No...no..." He slowly mixed his breath. From this angle, he could only see the blond hair scattered on his chest and abdomen, "Pat, and... there is one more thing, help me make an appointment with Roy. ? Disney, just say I ask him to play golf as soon as possible."


    After hung up the phone, Ryan looked down, only to see the seductive eyes between the scattered golden hair. The long and flexible tongue gave him endless enjoyment. ()

 Chapter 278： Perfect

    The white ball flew high, drawing a wonderful parabola, and falling into the distant pond under Ryan''s gaze, causing a lot of spray.


    "Damn it!" This is a rare mistake.


    "Ryan, your skills..." Roy Disney shook his head.


    This Roy Disney is not Walt Disney''s younger brother, but his nephew.


    "This is just a mistake. I was able to birdie a few years ago." As one of the most basic social skills, Ryan''s golf skills are justified.


    "Continue?" Ryan saw that the other party''s face was slightly tired.


    "Come here today. Let''s go to the rest area. We are old and not as young as you."


    Roy Disney signaled the caddy to put away the cue sticks and sat in the battery car driven by Ryan. The car drove very slowly towards the rest area.


    "Ryan, frankly, what can you do with me?"


    "It''s nothing. I haven''t seen it for a long time. It''s just a recollection of the old. When I made "The Lion King", I got your full support."


    Roy Disney has always been the most staunch supporter of Disney''s animation department, and because of this, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between him and Michael Eisner.


    "That should be the case. After all, it is Disney as a whole." Despite seemingly inadvertently waving his hands, Roy Disney''s face still showed a look of remembrance, which was the most glorious moment of Disney animation.


    "I heard that "Mulan" is about to be completed?"


    "Well... I hope this animation can enter the theater." Roy Disney''s tone was faintly helpless.


    Disney''s animation department is facing numerous funding difficulties, especially Michael Eisner''s attitude, which makes their status plummet. Even the elaborate "Lion King 2" was directly sent to TV stations and the disc market.


    "Ryan, why can''t you let go of your prejudices. Cooperate with us again, you have brought the most glorious moment of hand-drawn animation..."


    "Roy, I think you should know that the prejudice comes from Michael." Ryan interrupted him before the other party was finished. Vaguely said, "Disney under his control will never cooperate with me."


    Roy Disney was silent.


    Ryan didn''t say anything. Walt Disney, like Time Warner and other media companies, is no longer the Disney of the Disney family. Not only did they lose their controlling rights, they even lost their basic right to speak.


    Like Roy Disney, he is the only member of the Disney family on the board. Not only is Michael Eisner squeezed out, he doesn¡¯t even have much power. If he is not Walt Disney¡¯s nephew and needs him to stabilize the hearts of the people, Michael Eisner will definitely find a way to kick him out.


    Of course, Disney¡¯s board of directors is certainly not one-hearted, and there are also many people who oppose Michael Eisner, especially his acquisition of TV stations. This has caused Disney to bear a heavy debt burden, as well as decision-making errors on Pixar, which has increased the voice of opposition.


    Roy Disney is the representative of these people.


    but. Even if the other party is in conflict with Michael Eisner, he will not be biased towards outsiders in matters involving Disney''s interests.


    Ryan knew this well, and his fanfare meeting with Yoroy Disney was nothing more than two purposes.


    First, tell the Disney executives vaguely. It is Michael Eisner who contradicts him, not the entire Walt Disney. In recent years, Michael Eisner''s actions in private, although he is not particularly clear, he also knows a lot.


    Secondly, tearing his face to him is not good for Michael Eisner. He wants to tell the other party that Disney is not monolithic, and that Ryan Jenkins is not without supporters at the top of Disney.


    On the basis of competition, it is Ryan''s consistent attitude to carry out in-depth cooperation. This kind of disputes involving many interests is not good for anyone.


    Of course, if Michael Eisner really used methods outside the rules to deal with him, Ryan would not be polite. It will be the end of the century, and a large amount of funds will soon be returned.


    Sending away Roy Disney, Ryan went directly to the bowling alley. Charlize Theron was playing bowling. It¡¯s a coincidence that when he entered the clubhouse this morning, he happened to ran into the South African diamond. The two had a brief chat. Sentence, and then made an appointment here.


    What he didn''t expect was that two handsome men stood not far away, one of whom was still an acquaintance.


    "Ryan!" Leonardo DiCaprio has walked over.


    "Hi, Leon, it''s been a long time since I saw you. I didn''t expect to see you here." Ryan patted his palms with him, and then looked at the famous **** man next to him, "This is... "


    "Toby, Toby Maguire." Although he was a little shy, he introduced himself, "Ryan, can I call you that? Thank you."


    "Is this your friend?" Charlize Theron appeared right next to Ryan.


    "Hello, Miss Theron...you are..." Leonardo looked at Charlize and then at Ryan.


    "I''m friends with Charlie and we made an appointment to play here." Although I can see some of the South African diamond''s thoughts, a Nicole and a Natalie are enough headaches for him.


    Charlize Theron is very smart. She knows how to maintain her position. She shook hands with the two opposite people one by one, greeted Ryan and the others, walked to the coffee table in the lounge area, and asked the waiter for a drink. .


    "Oh, I understand." Leonardo gave a weird smile after sitting down, "It''s a pity, I originally wanted to pursue this beautiful Miss Theron..."


    "Leon..." Toby Maguire tugged Leonardo lightly.


    "It''s okay." Ryan waved his hand casually, Leonardo obviously misunderstood something.


    However, squinting at Charlize Theron, blond hair and long legs, it is too much in line with Xiao Li''s aesthetics.


    Compared to Leonardo, Toby Maguire next to him is not very impressive, Ryan vaguely remembers. When I talked to Ang Li about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" some time ago, I heard him mention it. This **** male is exactly the male lead in his movie.


    "Some time ago, I went to a show with Toby, a lingerie show, wow..." As for men, the topic is naturally inseparable from women. Leonardo was very excited when he talked about his favorite things. "The models they use are different from the skinny models on the four major fashion festivals. Not only are they tall, they are also very hot..."


    "Let me think about it, there must be some beautiful women with blond hair and long legs who have accepted your invitation?" Ryan put down the coffee cup in his hand and said with a smile.


    "As you said." Leonardo spread his hand.


    "Leon is very popular with them. Unlike me..." Toby Maguire shook his head helplessly.


    "Because the competition in the modeling industry is fiercer than in the entertainment industry, being able to get involved with Hollywood stars is very good for their career." Charlize Theron has been a model for a period of time, with some feelings, "Ryan, and Leon, one word of advice, those girls will sell you if they don''t know how to turn around...sell those details to gossip newspapers."


    "So. Leon is just playing around." Ryan shook his head.


    "If you''re interested..." Leonardo just started speaking, realizing that it''s not just a man here, "Sorry. Charlie, I don''t mean anything else."


    "Men, especially men in Hollywood..." Charlize Theron''s mouth curled up just right.


    "Hollywood also has good men." Toby Maguire distinguished weakly.


    It¡¯s okay to tell outsiders...


    "Leon, did the shooting of "Mission Impossible" go well? I heard that there are quite a few blonde beauties in the crew."


    Leonardo laughed when he heard Ryan''s words. "In fact, if the audition passes smoothly, after shooting "Disc on Disc", I can work with another blonde beauty."


    "Oh?" Ryan was a little curious. "May I ask which movie it is? What role?"


    ""Shakespeare in Love", um... the male protagonist, that is, the great Shakespeare, as for the female protagonist, you should be familiar with it. If there is no surprise, it will be Gwyneth Paltrow." Leonardo slightly Explained a bit.


    "Movies that Miramax invested in?"


    Although I have never watched it in my previous life, the name of this movie is quite impressive.


    "Yes, Harvey Weinstein is the producer and the person in charge of casting." Leonardo hesitated, and finally said, "Ryan, I heard that you have a good relationship with Harvey..."


    Ryan laughed, forget it, since he robbed him so many things, he should be compensated.


    "I''ll talk to Harvey on the phone, as long as the audition is above the level." He made a gesture that you understand.


    "That''s really thankful." Leonardo is not the first brother who entered Hollywood, knowing that the favor under the rules will play an important role, "In the evening, I will treat you!"


    "Forget it, Leon, I still have business tonight." Ryan declined his invitation.


    "Well, I invite you to a party another day."


    I also talked about the interesting things in the circle. After Toby Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio left, Ryan took out his mobile phone and briefly talked about the matter with Harvey Weinstein. Sentence, for investors and producers who are in control, this is just a small matter.


    The prerequisite is that Leonardo¡¯s audition must be above the standard line, no one will take tens of millions of dollars in investment to make such a joke.


    Ryan didn''t plan to stay for a long time. When he walked out of the club to break up with Charlize Theron, he suddenly remembered something.


    "Charlie, are there any schedules lately?"


    "Of course, as long as you need it." Charlize Theron''s eyes lit up.


    "That''s it. Director James Brooks recently approached me and wanted to adapt "Perfect" into a movie.


    The South African diamond left him a very good impression. Ryan stretched out her hand again during her acting career and simply gave her a hand. "You need a heroine in the movie. You ask Ron to contact Julius and go to the audition. All right."


    "I...I..." Charlize Theron suddenly stepped forward, staring at Ryan with scorching eyes, "Thank you, Ryan."


    "Don''t be so polite, we are good friends." Ryan''s words obviously had other meanings. ()

 Chapter 279： Come and go

    "My dear, you are blatantly skipping class."


    Pulling the car door, taking Taylor out of the car with his schoolbag, Ryan reminded her, "If the teacher calls your father..."


    "No, I asked Pat to ask for leave for me."


    The blond curly hair carried his schoolbag on his back and walked towards Tom Hanks¡¯ villa. He didn¡¯t forget to turn around and ask, ¡°Ryan, I heard that Ni Keqian often got into trouble because of you and was invited to school by the principal. Is it true? ?"


    "Fake." Ryan followed up angrily, "Don''t make trouble, otherwise..."


    "Cut." The little girl turned her head in disdain, "I''m here to see Big Tom, and I''m not here to make trouble."


    After entering December, Tom Hanks returned to Los Angeles from Ireland. Ryan asked him to talk about the script, and the other party simply invited him to come to his home as a guest. This is where he has today¡¯s itinerary.


    Also, this little guy who had heard the news followed him on the grounds that he wanted to meet his favorite celebrity.


    "I want Mr. Hanks to sign and take a photo with him..." she was still muttering as she walked.


    "Can you understand Tommy''s movies?" Ryan was a little curious.


    "Don''t think I''m Scarlett Johansson kind of idiot." Taylor didn''t turn his head, and Liang gave Ryan a back of his head. "I have watched "Cat and Mouse Game" several times. Big Tom is much better than you. I don¡¯t understand why those girls admire you."


    "This is really sad." Ryan walked over to her.


    "Reality is always cruel and helpless, but it has to be accepted." In this tone, old-fashioned.


    "Who taught you this?" Ryan said who was so boring. Teach little girls such things.


    "Nate." Tyler turned his head and looked over. "When I went to the studio last weekend. She said that."


    "By the way, Ryan, she also asked me, what have you been up to lately and why have you visited her less often?"


    "This one¡­¡­"


    Ryan scratched his head. A little embarrassed, it happened to see Colin Hanks greeted him from the door of the villa, and quickly left the curiosity little girl behind and shook hands with the other party, "Hey, Colin, it''s been a long time."


    "Really rare, Ryan." Tom Hanks'' eldest son joked. "I didn''t expect you to remember me."


    "That''s because you are not as handsome as him." The little girl suddenly said, "If you are handsomer than him, he will definitely ignore you."


    "This little lady is..." Colin Hanks laughed.


    "Taylor, Taylor Swift, you can call me Taylor or Alison." The little girl showed good education.


    "Well, Tyler, and Ryan, please here. Dad is waiting for you."


    Colin Hanks led the way, leading the two of Ryan around the villa. Walking into the back garden, before getting close, the smell of barbecue came.


    "It smells good, is this Big Tom''s handwriting?" Taylor sniffed hard.


    "Hi, Ryan. Oh, this is...Taylor. I haven''t seen each other for a long time, and I''m a big girl."


    The Tom Hanks put aside their busy schedule, walked over, and greeted Ryan one by one.


    "Hello, Mrs. Rita, can you take a picture of me and Mr. Hanks?"


    Just before everyone was seated, Taylor took off the backpack, took out a small camera from it, and handed it to Rita Wilson.


    "of course can."


    "I want to show the idiots at school, Big Tom is the real star, and Ryan Jenkins is just the last..."


    The little girl''s words caused everyone to laugh. With this naughty guy, lunch was obviously a lot more active, especially the appearance of a ¡®Big Tom¡¯ fan, which made the Hanks quickly fall in love with her.


    Los Angeles in December is neither lukewarm nor cold. The sun shines on the garden lawn, warm and lazy. Ryan and Hanks sit around the white table and enjoy delicious Brazilian barbecue, while Mrs. Rita Take care of several children including Taylor.


    "So, isn''t the filming far from the end of the film?" Ryan asked after hearing Tom Hanks say a few words about the setting of "Saving Private Ryan".


    "My scene is over, the rest are fragmentary shots." Tom Hanks drank a big sip of dark beer, "I haven''t enjoyed it like this for a long time, the set..."


    He shook his head and continued, "You know, Ryan, I dare you to say that the Omaha landing battle is definitely the cruelest and most realistic scene in the history of war movies. When filming, even though we all know what blood, internal organs, Severed limbs are all props, and I can''t help but vomit..."


    "Tommy!"


    "father!"


    Rita Wilson and Colin Hanks looked over at the same time, and the barbecue in their hands had been thrown in the tray.


    "Sorry, I forgot the occasion." Tom Hanks quickly raised his hand.


    "Steven will do miracles again." Ryan raised the glass to him.


    Like all Spielberg movies, the shooting progress of "Saving Private Ryan" far exceeds outside estimates. Steven Spielberg is at the peak of his state and can completely control the shooting of this pipeline mode. When he was old and weak and his condition declined, this model became a kind of cool.


    Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why the Slovakian film gradually declined.


    After lunch and chatting for a while, the topic gradually turned on the right track, and Ryan made his request very directly.


    "Tommy, the modern Robinson story you mentioned to me last time is very characteristic. I have sorted out the outline and character settings, and the script has also written a beginning."


    "Oh, that''s great." Tom Hanks became interested. "Can you talk about it?"


    "Chuck is an employee of FedEx. Although he has not been officially employed for a long time, he has become a business supervisor. He has an impatient personality and is used to being busy until one day..."


    In a few minutes, Ryan briefly narrated the framework of the story. Tom Hanks''s vague ideas have been integrated into a story with smooth logic and philosophy of life.


    "Unexpectedly, in such a short time, you gave the soul of this story." With Tom Hanks'' age and life experience, it is natural to have a lot of insights into this story.


    "Tommy, can you give me this story?"


    "Do you want to play Chuck?"


    No one is an idiot. Tom Hanks originally thought that the protagonist was based on his age. Now Ryan has been changed to a young man in his twenties, he will naturally guess his purpose.


    "Yes." Ryan nodded.


    "No, no, Ryan." Tom Hanks shook his fingers and said with a smile, "I just provided a vague idea. You gave it its soul and turned it into a complete script. It¡¯s your movie."


    "Then... okay." Ryan is not polite. You are always in contact with each other. "If you need help in the future, just speak up."


    "Of course, I won''t be polite to you." Tom Hanks raised his teacup to him.


    Ryan laughed. In this story, the age of the heroes and heroines has to drop, and of course they can''t become real hairies, otherwise, the taste of the filmed movie will change.


    "Hey, Colin, I heard you started acting too?"


    Seeing Tom Hanks'' eldest son, Ryan suddenly thought that he could immediately return this favor to Tom Hanks.


    "Yes, just some humble little characters."


    Although the person opposite was younger than himself, he was a person that his father did not dare to despise. Colin Hanks answered very seriously.


    In his previous life, Ryan had seen Tom Hanks¡¯ son. Although he had his father¡¯s care, his development was not so smooth. Even when he left that world, his most famous name was still Tom? Hanks'' eldest son.


    "So..."


    Ryan squeezed his chin and looked at Colin Hanks seriously, "I... have a few ideas, I don''t know if you are interested."


    "Creativity?" When Colin Hankston came to the spirit, the invitation from Ryan Jenkins, who was not interested, must be a fool.


    "Let¡¯s put it this way, it¡¯s a campus youth horror movie, something like "Scream"." Ryan searched for relevant information in his mind, "I wonder if you have studied Eastern culture? They have a saying there. ,''If Death lets you die at three o''clock, he will never let you live until five o''clock."


    "What if I survived?" Taylor didn''t know when he would come in.


    "My dear, this is not a topic you should be involved in." Ryan rubbed the golden curls of her head and continued, "If you live past three o''clock, then death will take people away in various ways. Life."


    "It sounds interesting." Colin Hanks understood that since Ryan said so, he must be the actor in the movie.


    Even if it''s a small-cost horror movie, it''s also a male lead, isn''t it? No one wants to live in the shadow of his father all his life, and he is no exception.


    "But it will take a while." Ryan moved and let the little girl sit next to him, "Now it''s just an idea. After the script is finished, I will let the people from Jenkins Pictures contact you. ."


    "No problem, I''ll wait." Colin Hanks was already smiling brightly.


    Looking at the two people, one big and one small, who got in the car, Tom Hanks was a little emotional, saying that Ryan Jenkins would be a man, and he had a personal experience today.


    Originally, he asked the other party to owe him a favor, just to win something for his son in the future. After all, the other party''s work can easily make a person popular. Unexpectedly, he didn''t need to speak for himself...


    That''s good, since the eldest son chose this path, there is no harm in having a good relationship with Ryan Jenkins.


    As for Ryan, he didn''t care too much. This kind of campus youth horror film, as long as it is not crooked, and the acting skills are too watery, it makes no difference who will play it.


    "Reaper is Coming" is a very profitable series. Although the value of derivatives is limited, it has a strong response in the disc market. ()

 Chapter 280： Shocked Annie

    In the next time, Ryan began to complete the script of this modern Robinson, and copied a copy of the outline and handed it to Julius Stewart, who would contact the director and related crew members.


    Ryan vaguely remembered that the director of the film seemed to be Robert Zemigis. If nothing else, his former alumnus should agree.


    There is also the heroine or supporting actress of Helen Hunter. Since she has been rejuvenated, she must re-select a suitable actor. Fortunately, there are not many roles in this role. You can find one from the actresses you are familiar with.


    Although the actor¡¯s age has been lowered, he is still a character with rich personal experience. If Ryan is just an ordinary 18-year-old actor, it will be difficult to interpret such a role, but he is special after all. Speaking of life Who will be less insightful?


    There is also "Reaper is Coming". Ryan sorted out the outline of the script and handed it to the screenwriter team of Jenkins Pictures. Such a typical Eastern horror theory is not popular in North America today, and it is naturally difficult for some people to understand.


    However, what Ryan asked them to add were those bizarre and unexpected killing methods. For this kind of weird killing show, Hollywood screenwriters, but one of the best.


    Speaking of which, except for the boo head, "Reaper is coming" is essentially the same as the later series of horror films. After the stunning first film, it became a killing show of ketchup and viscera. .


    Of course, as long as they can benefit, Ryan does not care whether they use Eastern or Western horror theories.


    Yes, we have to find a director who is familiar with Eastern culture for this movie, otherwise. Let a purely Western director make this kind of film, the most likely thing is to become nondescript.


    In the office building of Jenkins Pictures. Ryan is sitting in Nicole¡¯s office, looking at the electronic files on the notebook, which is the script of the bad comedy that is full of **** and ass. The screenwriting team has changed its drafts and finally reached a satisfactory level. effect.


    This is only the first part. Even if Ryan was confident in this series, under the advice of Jules and others, he completed a script first, and then filmed it to see the market''s reflection.


    After reading it roughly, Ryan thought for a while and changed the code name on the script to "American Pie".


    Then, I left a series of suggestions on it. The actors say that there are countless actors and actresses in this age group in Hollywood. If the director is concerned, just find a comedy director.


    After all, there is not much surprise in this movie.


    Picking up the phone, Ryan dialed the number and called the current person in charge of the editing team. This was a young woman named Tina Fei. Has a very outstanding talent for scriptwriting, and recently stood out from the group of recruited screenwriters. Became the director of this department.


    "Tina, this is the comedy script, um... it''s now called "American Pie"." Ryan took a carbon pen and wrote the corresponding letters on the floppy disk. "You review it one last time, and then hand it in. To Ms. Jules."


    "Ok."


    The other party took the floppy disk. Just about to leave, Ryan said again, "Wait."


    "Tina, sit down." Ryan pointed to the opposite chair, and when she sat down, she continued, "I have another idea. Let me talk about it now. When you go back, study it with others."


    "Please speak." This woman speaks concisely, with the temperament of a strong woman.


    "Screaming and Screaming must have been seen by you all. I want to completely subvert it and adapt it into a vulgar comedy." Ryan slowly clasped the table.


    "Ryan, you mean..."


    "Yes, we can make random entry and substitute classic movie shots from the 90s into it, such as "Forrest Gump", "Titanic" and so on."


    "This is a good idea." Tina Fei showed a look of approval.


    In fact, this is not a new idea. Hollywood has had this kind of chaotic movie long ago, but "Scream" has thoroughly carried it forward.


    Ryan only needs to mention this kind of movie, and he doesn''t even need to prepare the outline. The movie is not creative and conception at all, but the kind of subversion of the classic shit.


    After explaining the work, Ryan looked at the wall clock on the wall, called George and others, and drove towards the Los Angeles International Airport. Miss Nicole Kidman, who was on vacation in Australia, was about to return to Los Angeles soon. And Antonia Kidman, who is relaxing.


    Nicole has been in Australia for a long time, firstly to comfort his broken-hearted sister, and secondly, it seems that there is something to be done within the Kidman family.


    In 1995, Ryan lived for a long time on a farm belonging to the Kidman family. Only then did he realize that the entire Kidman family was huge and wealthy. They owned more than 24 million acres of land, which was more than the entire Kidman family. Hungary is even bigger, and many of its lands are famous pastures and mining areas.


    The relationship between these wealth and Nicole is not too great, just like all big families in the West, they are scattered in the hands of many people.


    "Ryan!"


    Just stepping out of the VIP channel, Nicole Kidman stepped on high heels and walked in front of him a few steps.


    "My dear, I thought you had settled in Australia. The premiere of "Eileen Brockovich", I plan to be cancelled."


    Although there are not too many people here, it is a public place. The two of them just face each other to express their miss. Besides, behind Nicole is an oversized light bulb-Antonia Kidman.


    "Hey, Annie." Ryan greeted her, and took the luggage from them with George.


    "Wow, is this the dream lover in the hearts of girls all over the world?" Antonia Kidman looked good, and went around Ryan specially, "More than when I met in Sydney last time. Manly."


    "Okay, Annie, let''s go home." Nicole picked up her sister and walked out of the airport first.


    Nicole came back, not only to participate in the premiere of "Irene Brockovich", but also to continue to participate in the training of "The Matrix", anyway. She is both the heroine of the movie, and her requirements for action are second only to Keanu Reeves and Hugo Weiwen.


    Back home. Lisa had already prepared the room for Antonia, and when Ryan helped them carry their luggage upstairs, Nicole just took her sister to visit the room.


    "Anne, this is your room, what you need. You can find Lisa." Ryan put the luggage at her feet, "Then... you rest first, and don''t bother for now."


    After speaking, he gave Nicole a concealed look and walked out of the room.


    "Annie, let''s take jet lag first, I will call you during dinner." Nicole also walked out.


    Antonia Kidman always felt a little weird looking at the two people who went out one after another. But then he said what was strange, shook his head, and packed up his luggage.


    Ryan flashed into Nicole''s room next to her. When the Australian girl walked to the door, she held her wrist and slightly hardened her slender body. She had already plunged into his arms.


    The four lips stuck together tightly. From the gap exposed between the flips, it can be seen that the two tongues have long been unable to distinguish each other, and the four arms not only hug each other''s body tightly. It keeps walking, and occasionally falls to the bottom...


    "close the door¡­¡­"


    Slightly getting rid of the entanglement, Nicole did not forget that there was another person upstairs.


    "do not worry."


    Ryan stabs his toe lightly, and the door closes suddenly.


    "My dear, I miss you so much."


    Lips wandered around Nicole''s neck, and Ryan squeezed his hands. The sound of ¡®stabs¡¯ came out, and a high-end women¡¯s casual dress was completely scrapped.


    "You are always so rude..."


    Nicole suddenly opened her mouth and was stunned. Her hands that were falling down suddenly stopped halfway, as if she didn''t know whether to take it back or let it go.


    "Ryan!" she whispered, trying to wake up the man who was addicted to her body.


    "Sorry! Sorry..."


    Antonia Kidman was opening half of the door, the shock on her face couldn''t be suppressed. She just came over to talk to her sister because she couldn''t sleep. Who would have thought that she would see such an amazing scene.


    "Did something happen, Nicole?"


    Ryan''s head left Nicole''s chest and followed her gaze, just to see Antonia Kidman''s surprise.


    Damn it! He couldn''t help cursing in his heart.


    Of course, this kind of thing can''t be solved in the heart. Ryan glanced at his and Nicole''s clothes, they were still intact, and hurriedly shouted, "Anne..."


    "I...you..."


    "Come in, Annie." Ryan could feel that Nicole didn''t say a word, her eyes were fixed on him, obviously wanting to see how she would handle it.


    "Nicole, you go and change your clothes." He patted Nicole''s arm again, and the hem of the Australian girl''s skirt was torn open.


    When Nicole got dressed, the three of them sat on the fabric sofa in the room with a little embarrassment. For a while, they didn''t seem to know how to speak.


    Pulling Nicole''s hand, Ryan''s fingers slipped between her fingers, and when the two palms were tightly clasped together, he slowly raised them in front of Antonia.


    "Annie, just like you see..."


    "but¡­¡­"


    "Annie I love Ryan, he also loves me, it''s that simple." Nicole was very satisfied with Ryan''s attitude and took the conversation.


    "Okay, okay, this is amazing. I need time to digest it." Antonia Kidman stood up slowly, shaking her head as she walked, "God, my sister is crazy. ?"


    "Annie..."


    Nicole just wanted to stand up, but Ryan stopped him, "Okay, Nicole, give Annie some time, she will accept it."


    "I hope so."


    Seeing the disappearance of her younger sister, Nicole''s mood was extremely depressed. Her own sisters were all so shocked. If... how would the public view them? Can you really make it public to yourself and him?


    "My dear, you also have to rest early."


    When something like this happened, the two of them lost their affectionate mood for a long time. Ryan walked out the door, "I''ll go downstairs and have a look. The premiere dress made for you should be coming soon." ()

 Chapter 281： Drive him out

    ps:


    Everyone, I just became a house slave. Recently, there have been too many things, busy with work, and I have to take out loans. Today, four changes will happen again at the end of the month! Also, thank you all for your support.


    In the RV driving to the Hall of Sacred Citizens, the Kidman sisters sat opposite each other. These two women, both in height and appearance, were beautifully dressed.


    "Nicole, I don''t understand, what about your sanity? Are you proud of being calm? Where did all this go?" Antonia Kidman clutched her forehead, obviously a little excited, "Don''t say you can''t think of it, if If your relationship with Ryan is exposed, what kind of turmoil will it bring? I understand the feelings that you have cultivated over the years, please don¡¯t forget, you are not ordinary people! You are public figures! Or the influential public character!"


    "I understand this, and we don''t plan to make it public in a short time." Nicole Kidman sighed and supported his forehead with his hand.


    "Did he tell you to wait and find the right opportunity..." Antonia wrinkled her nose.


    "Yes." Nicole nodded.


    "Man''s promise..." Antonia Kidman pouted, "Nicole, I tell you, men, especially those in the entertainment industry, are absolutely unreliable."


    Nicole smiled and shook her head. How could she not understand these things?


    "My shrewd sister, how could she become a fool in love." The friendship between them is very good, otherwise Antonia would not say so much.


    "Everyone will find happiness that suits them." Nicole took her sister''s hand and shook it gently, "Annie. You can''t lose faith in all love just because you just broke up."


    "Okay. Nicole." Antonia understood her sister''s character and had to say, "Have you and Ryan planned to face the storm?"


    Hearing these words, Nicole couldn''t help feeling a headache. The things that had been subconsciously ignored all the time suddenly came to my heart.


    Yup! Are we ready? Can we really stand in the sun? Still say, always go on sneaking like this...


    "Nicole, let me say a few words, maybe it''s not very pleasant." After the sister nodded, Antonia said, "You should kick that **** out. Let him get **** earlier."


    "why?"


    "My dear sister." Antonia couldn''t help but patted her forehead. "Ryan Jenkins will be eighteen years old soon. No one notices you now. It''s the habitual thinking that has always been. If you two continue to live together, Even the most stupid paparazzi will start to think about this, and then do everything possible to find out your **** and secrets..."


    "I will think about it."


    Despite Nicole''s words, Antonia clearly saw the reluctance on her face, "If you are not good..."


    "No. Annie, I will consider it after I said."


    "Why, Ryan made you very satisfied?" Antonia is worthy of being a media person, and her tone immediately turned to gossip.


    "Annie..." Nicole looked at her curious sister and said with a sigh, "Actually. It''s hard for me to satisfy him."


    "Oh, tell me carefully..."


    "Come on, Annie, the red carpet is here."


    The car stopped right in front of the theater, and the baffle separating the front and rear seats slowly rose. The female bodyguard turned her head and reminded, "Miss Kidman, the theater is here."


    "Annie, finish your dress. This is the first time you have appeared in front of the North American media." Before getting out of the car, Nicole reminded her sister.


    Waiting for the RV in front to leave, the Bentley carrying Ryan stopped at the end of the red carpet. After getting off the car, there were not a few reporters. Most of the media''s eyes were all attracted by the beautiful sisters in front. Up.


    Originally, one was the star of the movie and one of Hollywood''s red carpet queens, and the other was not only the former''s own sister, but also not inferior in beauty and sexiness. It would be strange that it would not cause a media sensation.


    Forget it, from the movie to the premiere, it''s all about setting off the heroine Nicole, and everyone else should play their supporting roles safely.


    Ryan was very conscious and walked forward very low-key, like an unknown little person.


    The scale of the premiere is not that big. After all, strictly speaking, the film is still a biographical film. When the Christmas file is approaching, it is impossible for theaters to invest too much resources on this kind of film.


    The main goal of the movie is still the Oscar. The theaters adopt a long-term screening method and slowly accumulate the box office. However, in the screenwriter column of this movie, the name of Ryan is hung. Everyone knows that his work is impossible. It is completely artistic, so it has won nearly 1,500 theaters.


    Before coming to the theater, a large number of reporters blocked the clogged water around Kidman sisters. Ryan cast a sympathetic look at Nicole and walked toward the front hall.


    At this time, the arrival of another woman caused the reporter to diverge, and more people rushed to the blonde woman. Erin Brockovich just showed up and robbed everyone of the limelight.


    This woman is not stage fright, talking in front of the camera and dozens of microphones. Far from being as rude and ignorant as shown in the movie, she knows how to promote herself.


    Having been in this circle for so long, Ryan naturally knows that Hollywood-style inspirational biopics will always contain characters that are only the types that audiences like and conform to mainstream values. As for whether they match the prototype characters, who is in the face of sufficient interests? Will take care of it.


    According to the usual practice, Ryan took a round in the hall and kept greeting people. When he walked back to Nicole in a little leisurely time, he found Antonia Kidman and another person nearby. The chat was in full swing.


    This guy! Ryan shook his head. Antonia has beautiful long golden brown hair and long straight legs like Nicole. It is not surprising that Leonardo DiCaprio''s attention will be attracted.


    "Nicole, I have a chance to tell Annie that it''s better to stay away from Leon." Ryan is very clear about Leonardo''s temperament.


    "Because Mr. DiCaprio is a playboy?"


    Obviously, Leonardo, the former actor of the Berlin Film Festival, has had some reputations long ago, and Nicole blinked her eyes playfully, "Annie knows how to deal with it. She is not one of those little models."


    This is reasonable, Ryan nodded in agreement, you know, Nicole has long invited Antonia to come to Hollywood to develop, but it''s a pity that the other party doesn''t want to leave her hometown.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins." Erin Brockovich walked over at this moment, shaking hands and said with excitement, "I didn''t expect that one day my movie would appear on the big screen."


    "This is the honor you deserve." Ryan smiled politely.


    "Also, Miss Kidman, I''ve seen some of the samples, and your performance in them is so shocking. I think... I think it''s just another self appearing in this world."


    "Thank you, it is my greatest honor to get your approval." Nicole''s words were more polite than Ryan.


    More people rushed over and completely surrounded Irene Brockovich, a man of the most recent period.


    "A very smart woman." Harvey Weinstein walked silently to the two of them.


    "If you are not smart enough, how could you bring down Pacific Gas and Electricity Company." Ryan smiled and looked at the big fat man, "How''s the progress?"


    ""Titanic" is not a big problem. Its terrifying box office numbers are enough to make most judges surrender." Harvey Weinstein understands what Ryan is talking about, "The rest depends on the movie being released. Later."


    "Pat will fully cooperate with you, Harvey." Ryan could feel Nicole''s hand tightening suddenly, "Funds, media resources, and our partners will all lean towards this side. If You need, my entire brokerage team and public relations team, can be temporarily handed over to you to control."


    "I can only say my best, Ryan."


    No one dares to make 100% guarantees for this kind of thing, even if Miramax and Jenkins Pictures have united many giants this time.


    "I understand, Harvey."


    Ryan nodded and did not continue, because Antonia brought Leonardo over, "What are you talking about, so happy?"


    "Talk about Ryan''s screenwriting team." Harvey Weinstein offered to extend his hand, "This is Miss Antonia? Oh, my God, more beautiful than your sister."


    "I say that, you don''t mind, do you, Nicole?"


    "It''s okay." Nicole rolled her eyes angrily.


    "The screenwriter team?" Leonardo became interested. "Is that the team that was attacked by the media after "Men in Black" was released?"


    "Yes." Ryan rubbed his forehead.


    "Oh, I remember." Antonia Kidman took over, "Let more than twenty screenwriters write a script at the same time. Ryan Jenkins brought a very bad atmosphere to Hollywood."


    "I remember they seemed to say that, UU reading , right?"


    "They are just jealous of Ryan''s success." Harvey Weinstein looked disdainful, "Art? Rigorous? Without sufficient commercial support, these are empty talks."


    "No way, because Ryan made too much money." Leonardo nodded his forehead, recalled, and said, "The box office of "Men in Black" exceeded 40 million U.S. dollars in the first week, three weeks later. Billion will naturally make those people jealous, don¡¯t forget, the comics in this movie are not even second-rate."


    "By the way, Ryan, I heard that you are planning to make a comedy series. How about we continue to cooperate?" Harvey Weinstein''s news is very clear.


    "Will we talk about this later?" Ryan pointed to the watch and reminded, "Everyone, it''s almost time, we should go in."


    "okay then."


    Everyone hurriedly walked towards the theater. Ryan and others were seated in the front row. After greeting each other with the crew including Steven Soderberg, they sat beside Nicole. , Quietly waiting for the release of "Eileen Brockovich". ()

 Chapter 282： Irene Brockovich

    Please remember the website of this site: please post it to your qq group Weibo/WeChat forum to recommend the promotion introduction!


    Like the protagonist in most inspirational stories, at the beginning of the movie, Irene Brockovich was a humble little character. She had not received higher education, was full of swear words, and dressed up vulgarly. The only thing that can be taken out is that she has won A beauty pageant in a small town.


    In marriage and career, she failed in the same way. Not only did she become a single mother with three children after divorce twice, but also because of the long-term housewife career, it was difficult to find a suitable job, even to support herself. Became a problem.


    When people are unlucky, something even worse happens. After a failed interview, Irene Brockovich became the victim of a car accident. Attorney Ed Masri accepted her commission, but because of Irene Being violent and swearing in court resulted in a victory that was almost obtained and turned into a failure.


    At this time, Irene had only seventy-four dollars in her bank account!


    This is not over yet. After returning home, Irene learned that the neighbor who had been helping her to take care of the children had to move away to live with her daughter and could no longer help her. In order to take care of the children, she had to stop because of a car accident. Bring the cervical spine treatment.


    It''s really bad luck one by one.


    In the first ten minutes, the film uses both fast and short shots to fully show the audience the characteristics of the heroine. Such a rude but straightforward Irene can easily win the audience''s approval.


    Even if there is no ugly makeup, Nicole has faded away from the original noble and glamorous, and the whole person looks gorgeous and vulgar, making most people subconsciously ignore. The swearing woman on the big screen has a completely different Public image.


    Some people in authority have said that. The best actor becomes what he plays instead of turning all the roles into himself.


    For example, Leonardo DiCaprio, the so-called experts in his previous life, always said that he played all roles as Leonardo.


    no doubt. In the first ten minutes, Nicole''s modeling of Irene Brockovich was very successful.


    In addition to the character itself, the most attractive thing is Nicole''s slender and straight legs. As well as the gully squeezed out with the magic bust, especially for Ryan, it just made him feel like moving.


    To support herself and to support three children, Irene needs to find a suitable job. However, her six years as a housewife has made her job search failures, even if it is a salesman''s job. To.


    In desperation, Irene found the lawyer Ed again. The desperate need to come to a job without benefits.


    "You don''t hire me. I won''t go!" This can be said of her cheeky or her persistence.


    While organizing documents for Ed, Irene stumbled upon a suspicious document, which belonged to the medical treatment. It was mixed into the real estate documents, which aroused her suspicion. Prompted her to set foot in the town of Sinclair.


    This is a small town built in the desert. Because it is far away from the city, the Pacific Gas Power Company''s factory is located nearby.


    Irene first visited Mrs. Donna Jensen, who was seriously ill, and heard that the power plant may have chromium pollution that might be related to their illness. Later, she asked an expert and inquired that the hexavalent chromium used in the power plant was fatal to the human body. Sexual harm.


    She found the local water conservancy department, made a small use of her own beauty, and easily entered it, inquired about a lot of relevant information, confirmed that the pollution did exist, and made a copy.


    Because of the continuous running around, Ed misunderstood that Irene was going to work and wanted to expel her. Irene snarled at him unceremoniously.


    "I''m not the one who won''t make you happy!" He left after speaking.


    The sturdiness and roughness of this woman can be seen in general, and such female characters are often the love of Oscar.


    Soon, Ed came to the door, and the hexavalent chromium was seriously exceeding the standard, which made the old lawyer realize that this was a remarkable case, and he wanted to ask Irene to return to the firm.


    "Want to ask me to go back to work? I have a lot of bills to pay!"


    This is really a typical low-level person, but under Nicole''s wonderful interpretation, the city worker feels kind and cute.


    After reading the information copied by Irene, Ed deems that it is far from enough and needs more detailed and precise content. Irene suggested that she could go to the water conservancy department to look for it.


    "Why do you think you can walk in swaggeringly and do whatever you want?"


    "Because I have big boobs~"


    In Ed''s surprised eyes, the audience burst into a burst of kind laughter. Such lines will only make people feel that the characters in the movie are cordial, rather than fake.


    Irene once again embarked on the journey to find evidence. Playing rogues, cheeky, and using her own appearance are all her usual methods, and with this extremely unreliable means of writing, she has copied a large number of copies from the water conservancy department. data of.


    So far, they have fully confirmed that Pacific Gas and Electric Company has concealed the very serious hexavalent chromium pollution incident near Hinckley.


    Ed sent some relevant documents to Pacific Gas and Electric Company, and wanted to negotiate with the other party to resolve the incident and obtain sufficient compensation for the residents of Sinclair. However, the representative sent by Pacific Gas and Electric Company showed that the company was a big company. They were arrogant and rude, they only offered 250,000 US dollars in compensation, which was naturally rejected by Ed and Irene.


    "Before you make a big announcement, it''s best to find out who your opponent is. Pacific Gas and Electric Company has a market value of 28 billion U.S. dollars!" The opponent finally issued a direct threat.


    Unfortunately, neither Ed nor Irene cared about their threats.


    Subsequently, Irene and Ed had a disagreement about this matter, a dispute occurred, and then a hilarious scene appeared.


    "**. Temptation!" Ed, a good old man, rarely lost his temper.


    "**. Temptation!" This is Irene''s counterattack.


    Since then, Irene has been trapped in busy work. For this case, she picked up the book again, learned relevant knowledge, and ran between the former and current residents of Sinclair for a long time, looking for evidence. Encourage them to stand up bravely.


    Just like all American heroes, behind the protagonist, there are always family members who are difficult to understand at the beginning, and conflicts gradually arise between Irene and her children and new boyfriends.


    This movie is just to highlight Irene Brockovich. Steven Soderbergh knows exactly what Ryan''s purpose is. He downplayed a lot of content, especially about the legal aspects, and simply explained-if he wins. The lawyer can take 40% of the compensation amount!


    Of course, if he fails, he won''t get a cent, and he will have to lose his time.


    In order to get enough evidence and get enough compensation from Pacific Gas and Power Company, Irene looked for evidence everywhere. She went to dirty ditches and wells to take water samples, and even collected dead frogs in the pond.


    For this role, Nicole paid a lot. These are all she went to battle in person.


    Irene has so many moves. It naturally attracted attention. She kept receiving threatening calls, and the other party warned her and her three children to be careful...


    This situation did not shake Irene''s determination. But it caused dissatisfaction with her boyfriend, and the contradiction between the two became more and more intensified. Eventually the other party left her.


    However, more and more people in the small town are falling ill, especially Donna Jensen, who Irene first visited. Her condition has deteriorated extremely. These have strengthened Irene''s determination to pursue the investigation and seek justice for them!


    After her and Ed¡¯s hard work, the court dismissed the Pacific Gas Power Company¡¯s defense and announced that the accusation against them was formally established.


    The lawyers of Pacific Gas and Electric Company approached Ed''s office and offered to use a price of 20 million U.S. dollars to reach an out-of-court settlement, but they flatly refused.


    "Without a price of one hundred times, we would not agree to it!"


    When the frustrated lawyer picked up the water glass and wanted to drink, Irene spoke again, "This is the water specially brought for you from Hinckley!"


    The lawyer hesitated, and finally put the water glass back on the table.


    The plot is terrible, but this kind of little character uses the wisdom of the bottom to defeat the uppermost opponents, which is definitely the favorite of ordinary audiences.


    With Irene¡¯s active running, more and more residents came forward and united together, wanting to get back what they deserve for themselves, for their families and children.


    However, things turned up and down again. In order to win this unprecedented lawsuit, Ed decided to seek help from a larger firm. This caused Irene''s dissatisfaction, especially as a resident of the plaintiff, who did not trust these newcomers. People even had doubts about Irene and Ed.


    Irene and Eddy summoned the victims to one place, and tried to persuade the vast majority of people, so that they signed their names on the agreement. Even so, they still lacked one hundred and fifty signatures in the end. Irene once again Started running around.


    She visited from house to house and moved many people with her perseverance. The incident finally took a turn for the better. Even the boyfriend who had left returned to Irene''s side at this time.


    It seems that luck has completely turned to her. By coincidence, Irene obtained vital evidence from an employee of the Pacific Gas and Power Company. The other party''s cousin died of hexavalent chromium pollution, and he kept it. This evidence is enough to make Pacific Gas and Power Company slip into the abyss.


    When Irene put everything, including evidence and a thick stack of signature documents, on the table of the collaborator, everyone showed an incredible look.


    "You...how did you do it?" the barrister who worked with them asked in surpriseI am ignorant, and I have never attended law school, and Ed has lost the existing system. With confidence, I had to sell my body. I helped 634 people blow the trumpet in five days, so..."


    Erin Brockovich''s vulgar joke came to an end, "I''m really exhausted."


    There was no fierce court debate, no carnival after the lawsuit was won. The case returned from the end to the beginning. Irene and her boyfriend found Donna Jensen, whom she had originally visited, and expounded the ending of the whole case in brief words.


    "The judge has ruled that he wants Pacific Gas and Electric Company to pay a total of 333 million U.S. dollars, of which 5 million U.S. dollars belong to your family!"


    At the end of the movie, the little character overwhelmed the behemoth with an uncompromising spirit, and finally received a check for two million dollars!

 Chapter 284： move

    "Ryan, I heard that Jack Warner Manor has been renovated?" Even though he was very disappointed, Nicole bit his head and said, "After the New Year, you will be eighteen years old..."


    Ryan understood only half of the words.


    Frankly speaking, he has considered this issue several times. When he came back from Ireland, he mentioned it when the two were intimate, but Nicole avoided it at the time, so it is difficult to continue, for fear that the Australian girl will become more and more sensitive. heart.


    This is a very practical and very urgent issue. As Nicole gets older and is almost insulated from the scandal, more and more speculations have jumped out. Theories such as homosexuality and secret boyfriends will occasionally appear, although they are still Without the media focusing on the two of them, if they continue to live together, it is difficult to say what the paparazzi will write.


    Now his influence is indeed getting bigger and bigger, not so big that public opinion can be ignored.


    Eighteen years old means formal adulthood in North America, and the mainstream practice is to become an adult.


    Besides, there is another girl in his greedy heart.


    Moving out not only means complete sex, it also means more freedom, unlike now, living in front of Nicole''s eyes all the time, any disturbance will be noticed...


    Ryan knew that he was too greedy, and that with the character of Nicole or Natalie, sand would never get in his eyes, but in this world, there are a few men who are not tempted by beauty and ask him to give up on them. Any of them, it''s better to throw him into the Pacific Ocean.


    As for the future? Ryan rubbed his forehead, let''s think of something slowly in the future.


    Besides, if one''s own power and status have reached a certain stage. If you are not sure, the situation will change, perhaps by some means. Will Nicole or Natalie succumb?


    He never thought that he would use all means for those who are not important, but for Nicole or Natalie, is he really so resolute?


    The vast majority of people in this world are sentimental animals, with feelings accumulated over the years. Does it mean that you can give up if you give up?


    "What are you thinking about again, Ryan?" Nicole frowned.


    "It''s nothing."


    You can¡¯t say what you think, Ryan scratched his head, "I know what you mean, Nicole, I will move into Jack Warner Manor after Christmas."


    Nicole slowly bit her lower lip, in her pale blue eyes. The color of reluctance is very obvious.


    "My dear, there are only more than ten minutes'' drive from both sides. It''s very convenient to come and go. You can go there anytime, and I can come anytime." Ryan could only offer comfort.


    "In the manor over there, there must be a room that belongs to me. No one is allowed to enter except you and Lisa."


    Hear Nicole''s request. Ryan naturally nodded in a hurry, "Of course, even if you build an air base, there is no problem."


    "I will keep the room here." Nicole understood. This is the best choice to reduce disturbances in the outside world.


    After breakfast, Nicole took Antonia Kidman out to visit friends and go shopping. Ryan stayed at home and continued to work with his laptop to perfect the script. So put it into the preliminary preparations as soon as possible.


    After the release of "Eileen Brookwich", Pa Jinsli temporarily handed over the leadership of the entire team to Harvey Weinstein, and she fully cooperated with the other party''s public relations work. Ryan also allocated Large sums of money, public relations and publicity without money are all clouds.


    Despite the limited number of theaters, after the first weekend of the movie, the North American box office exceeded US$18 million. In just two days, the box office of the single theater exceeded US$10,000. For such a movie, It''s already a very good result.


    The excellent box office results naturally drove the enthusiasm of the theaters. After the new week, the number of theaters for movie screenings soared to nearly 2,000. Not only did the box office numbers skyrocket, but the topic of hype in the media was also getting hotter.


    ""Eileen Brockovich" is just an ordinary Hollywood-style biographical film. Although the plot is smooth, it lacks novelty, but Nicole Kidman''s superb performance saved the movie, and she stood up. She has a straight chest and two long legs. She keeps''doing it'' and never compromises. While giving hope to the character, it also gives her own hope."


    "Looking back to last year, the neurotic mother in "Small Island" made people think that it was Nicole Kidman''s peak performance. I didn''t expect that she brought a more shocking role this year, breaking through the inherent image, if It¡¯s not a hint of the subtitles, we will even ignore who is playing this role."


    "Nicole Kidman''s wonderful performances not only made Irene Brockovich popular, but even the costumes and busts of the same style in the film sold very well. This red carpet and fashion The queen, even in the most glamorous clothes, can show unusual taste and temperament."


    The media, especially the entertainment media, have many problems with money. Few people will have trouble with money. What''s more, Nicole Kidman''s performance in the movie is indeed brilliant.


    Of course, for a public relations player like Harvey Weinstein, he will definitely control the intensity of touts within an appropriate range, not only to remind the judges, but also not to arouse their disgust.


    It is not just the media. Before Christmas, he and Ryan convened parties in various names, one after another. Among them, there were many presidents of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences such as Robert who participated in the "Titanic". "Several major film companies invested in, whether for common interests or for future cooperation, have done some work in them.


    After spending Christmas together, Ryan checked Jack Warner Manor, and was generally satisfied and planned to officially move there.


    Leaning against the door, Nicole silently looked at the bedroom. Ryan was packing up the few belongings. Since this room will still be, or even will be kept forever, most of the things will not move.


    Although I knew that Ryan hadn''t left her, and the place where she moved was only a short drive away, I couldn''t tell what it was like, as if... as if the distance between them suddenly widened.


    "Nicole, what are you worried about?" Antonia suddenly walked over and took her sister''s hand.


    "I always feel..." Nicole shook her head.


    "You can come and see him at any time, and Ryan can come and see you at any time." Antonia can roughly guess something, "Just be careful."


    Originally, before coming from Australia, Antonia Kidman felt that her feelings were hurt enough, but Nicole did not expect Nicole to choose a more difficult path.


    Of course, based on the other''s talents and abilities, it is certainly false to say that it does not attract women.


    This is where Antonia worries about Nicole the most. This is Hollywood, where many women can make many incredible choices in order to become famous.


    There are not many things Ryan wants to take away. No matter clothes or instruments that are gradually marginalized, new ones are prepared over there. In addition to notebooks, a few photo frames, and suitcases with manuscripts, he even has an Oscar statuette. I don''t plan to move away.


    In any case, this is his home.


    Perhaps because of greed and increasingly restless heart, there will inevitably be a storm in the future, but he wants to keep the best memory here forever.


    Even if he understands that fish and bear''s paw cannot have both, he still has to try to do something, because he still doesn''t want to give up.


    Nicole is mine! Nat is mine too!


    In addition to feelings, people have other thoughts, and the possessiveness that far surpasses Nicole Kidman''s is finally revealed.


    Ok! Everything starts today! See if it can be completely...


    "Ryan, what are you thinking again, didn''t you hear me asking you?"


    I don¡¯t know when, Nicole has already walked in front of him, looking at the frosty Australian girl, Ryan¡¯s ambitions just disappeared, and he scratched his head awkwardly, ¡°Sorry, Nicole, I¡¯m thinking What else should I bring."


    "I''ll help you pack it up." Nicole glared at him irritably, and skillfully put one by one items into the suitcase, as if packing her own luggage.


    The car just drove out of the villa, and a large number of paparazzi followed from behind. The news that Ryan Jenkins was going to move out was spread a few days ago. They stayed here for a long time, and finally waited for the big news.


    "Quick, keep up!"


    Among the major TV stations, Fox TV, with the lowest lower limit, once again drove the TV OB van.


    As for the paparazzi that followed, it was dragged hundreds of feet away. Many people even got out of the skylight, even if they couldn''t see the human figure, they had to take pictures of the bottom of the Bentley.


    Along the way, I really don¡¯t know how many films have been murdered. If anyone who doesn¡¯t know looks at it, they think that the head of state of the country came to Beverly Hills.


    The Bentley didn¡¯t mean to dodge. The news was originally that Ryan asked to let it go Anyway, these guys can only take pictures of the car¡¯s butt, Jack Warner Manor... No, it should be Jenkins Manor, right Will be open to them.


    The car parked in the garage, where brand-new RVs, sports cars and off-road vehicles were all available. Ryan didn¡¯t have much interest in cars. These were purchased by Pai Kingsley. After the North Hollywood robbery, how many times he drove. It''s getting less and less.


    From the special passage, walked into the huge main building, apart from Ryan and George, a few bodyguards and Lisa will arrive later.


    Lisa will be the steward of this mansion.


    "This bedroom belongs to me."


    Ni chose the large bedroom next to the master bedroom and placed her photo frame in a conspicuous position, as if she wanted to declare her sovereignty in this way.


    "There are hundreds of rooms here, you can choose whatever you want."


    Ryan walked to the window and dialed Jinsli''s phone, "Pat, yes, I just moved here and want to hold a party, I will send invitations in my name, and I will call important guests in person..." ()

 Chapter 283： civilian hero

    The lights came on, and the tide of applause completely flooded the entire theater. The industry insiders who sat in the first few rows walked to the first row where the crew sat and sent their congratulations, especially the tall and beautiful woman. A performance that broke through the image.


    "Congratulations, Nicole, your characterization is amazing."


    "A wonderful performance, Miss Kidman."


    "This character is still beating in my head, I think she will perform miracles..."


    Congratulations like this are endless. Although some are out of courtesy, they always reflect the actual situation. Nicole, like the rest of the crew, shook hands with these people and kept saying ¡®thank you¡¯.


    Ryan stood quietly outside the crowd, watching all this, now is the moment that belongs to Nicole, there is no need for him to get involved in the past.


    "Are you sure?" Antonia Kidman asked nonchalantly.


    "One hundred percent is absolutely impossible, 60% of it will always happen." Ryan smiled and shook his head. Even if all the work is in place, luck is an indispensable factor. "Annie, are you interested in participating in the press conference?"


    "This is not my movie. I''m not interested."


    "Go over to say hello to Nicole and we will get back in the car."


    When the crowd dissipated, Ryan walked to Nicole and muttered a few words softly, then Antonia walked over, took his arm, and walked outside the theater together.


    As for the press conference after the premiere, there are Nicole, Steven Soderbergh and Irene Brockovich, which are enough to attract media attention and arouse considerable topics.


    Ryan and Antonia sat opposite each other in the RV. Talking about a few irrelevant topics, and soon fell into silence. Especially Ryan, thinking of this movie, began to habitually wander or think about it.


    There is no doubt that Nicole gave the most exciting performance since his debut in "Eileen Brockovich". At least in his eyes, it is better than the big mouth Zhu in the previous life. Even if the big mouth Zhu is not an actor who is good at acting, but Nicole''s acting skills are definitely worthy of the statuette. .


    Excluding those external factors, this year is the best opportunity, regardless of acting skills or qualifications. The most competitive actress has already been destroyed by herself in advance. Even if James Brooks is fast, it is impossible to let "Perfect" be released a year ago.


    For Helen Hunter, he can only say sorry, um... and Big Mouth Zhu.


    Thinking of Julia Roberts, Ryan shook his head slightly. This is another character whose future has been affected by him. It is not the most influential one.


    In his opinion, even Nicole Kidman is not even as good as the other person, who has been changed even more by the butterfly effect he brought.


    That person is the legendary business godfather-Steve Jobs.


    Now 1997 is about to end. Steve Jobs, who should have returned to Apple a long time ago, is still tossing his next computer. After getting 50 million dollars from the sale of Pixar, he revitalized the computer company. Although the scale is only average, he does it. impressive.


    After Pixar''s successful listing, it did not bring any benefits to Steve Jobs. On the contrary, it made people see his decision-making mistakes again. Such behavior of selling potential stocks would only make people look down on him and think that he is in possession of treasure without knowing it.


    Without Pixar as a springboard and the billion-dollar net worth it brought, Apple¡¯s management would of course not be foolish to invite him back, so Apple and Steve Jobs are still parallel lines, and there is no intersection in the short term. trend.


    What surprised Ryan most was that even without Steve Jobs, Apple still carried out drastic reforms in 1996 and launched this year, Apple¡¯s all-in-one computer.


    As in the previous life, this product was very popular in the market, enabling Apple to successfully tide over the financial crisis, and the stock price also has a soaring trend.


    All of this made Ryan deeply understand one thing. The world will run as usual if anyone is missing. Without Steve Jobs, Apple is still on the path of the previous life, and he also asked Scott to step up. Into Apple stock.


    After waiting for an hour, Nicole returned to the car. The exhausted look on her face was enough to prove the craziness of the reporter at the press conference. The occasion she appeared was naturally siege by reporters and paparazzi.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Another crazy night passed. Ryan opened his eyes and looked at Nicole curled up in his arms. The Australian girl''s eyebrows were raised high, and the corners of her mouth were still smiling, as if she was still missing last night in her sleep. Sweetness.


    Today is the weekend. There is no need to rush to USC for class. A light mark was printed on Nicole''s forehead. Ryan got up and dressed, and after a simple wash, he came to the living room.


    As in the past, on the second day of the premiere, Lisa will always prepare relevant newspapers and magazines. Ryan took a thick pile, waved her hand, and returned to the bedroom on the second floor.


    "Honey, where have you been?"


    When she returned, Nicole was already awake, leaning on the head of the bed, looking at the door in a daze.


    "Go get what you are interested in." Ryan shook the newspaper in his hand to her and sat on the bed.


    "Read it to me, okay?" Nicole rolled over, too lazy to wear clothes, so she fell on Ryan''s lap.


    "Of course." Ryan smoothed her scattered strands of blonde hair and warned. "The premise is to be honest and not to be naughty."


    "God, do you think I''m crazy?" Nicole got into the duvet, frowning and rubbing something, "I was exhausted last night!"


    As he said, he turned his head and glared at the culprit.


    With Ryan''s cheeky, naturally pretending not to see it, he opened a newspaper casually, leaned in Nicole''s ear, and read it softly.


    "This is an era when heroes are scarce. Irene Brockovich¡¯s story is touching, wonderful, and rebellious. She has no higher education and is a failure of life, but she relies on humanity and tenacity. Spirit, helped 634 plaintiffs, brought down the giant Pacific Gas and Electric Company, and won the highest amount of compensation in the history of a direct lawsuit-333 million U.S. dollars! It can be said that Irene Brockovich is the civilian hero of this era... ¡­"


    Ryan stopped and scanned it quickly. Most of the comments in the newspaper were about movies, so he simply threw it aside and changed it.


    "Eileen Brockovich, played by Miss Nicole Kidman, is a full-fledged hot girl. Not only is she hot, she speaks directly and rudely, and she gets into trouble for this. She is a little coquettish, a little bit hot, a little bit Gorgeous and cheeky, but persistent enough, tenacious enough, and kind enough, this is the most impressive female character on the big screen this year."


    Listening to the comments in the newspaper, Nicole changed to a comfortable position, buried her entire face in Ryan''s belly, and muttered, "Go on, Ryan."


    "Okay." Ryan switched to the "Los Angeles Times" and quickly turned to the entertainment section. "Nicole Kidman''s performance far exceeded our expectations. People who have watched "Eileen Brockovich" , Will never forget Nicole Kidman¡¯s sincere blue eyes, her eyes are sometimes pitiful, sometimes stubborn, always reaching the depths of the soul, making people can¡¯t help following her footsteps and regaining confidence , To discover self-worth, this is definitely the most successful and classic role she has portrayed since the film.


    Gently pinching Nicole''s ear, Ryan threw her **** hand aside and opened the "Washington Post."


    "The gaudy dress, the rude words, the temperament of the little people from the bottom, the Irene Brockovich in the movie, it is difficult for people to associate with the image of Nicole Kidman in reality, her outstanding performance, It will make you forget that you are watching the show."


    "The Nicole Kidman in the movie is very charming and very attractive. She almost relies on her own strength to support the whole play. This is a film that belongs to Nicole Kidman, except for the role of a lawyer. Apart from Albert Fanny, those other roles are not worth mentioning in front of her performance."


    "Inspirational, righteous, and joyful, a big-hearted movie that has produced the best female role of the year. She is straightforward, hardworking, caring and full of personality, although her beautiful mouth will often make rude swear words. But it is an angel who upholds justice. Nicole Kidman perfectly combines her own charm with the uncompromising spirit of Irene Brockovich in reality, presenting an admirable civilian hero. ..."


    "Obviously, in such a time period, when such a biographical film adapted from real life is released, Jenkins Pictures must be targeting Oscars. After watching the movie, you will actually find that Nicole Kidman is in The performance in it is worthy of being a little golden figure. On qualifications and acting skills, this Australian actress who has already joined American citizenship is no worse than any one."


    In just over half an hour, Ryan went through the major newspapers. These media may have mixed reviews on the film, but they spoke highly of Nicole¡¯s performance in it. Most people recognized her for her dedication. The most outstanding performance since the movie.


    In any case, with the full screen of "Irene Brockovich", the final public relations campaign has begun.


    "It''s getting late, Nicole. It''s time to go for breakfast." Ryan looked at the time and picked up the Australian girl in his arms. "Do you need me to carry you into the bathroom?"


    "No!" Nicole opened her eyes suddenly, and God knew how long it would take to get out after the two went in together.


    "Hurry up, don''t make Annie wait too long." Picking up the scattered newspapers, Ryan reminded at last.


    "Ok¡­¡­"


    Hearing Annie, Nicole suddenly remembered what he said in the car last night, "Wait, Ryan, I have something to discuss with you." ()

 Chapter 285： 8 hexagrams and party

    "Just yesterday, Ryan Jenkins, who was about to turn 18, moved into Jack Warner Manor and officially announced that this famous superstar in the United States and even the world sent a party to many Hollywood celebrities. The invitation seems to want to use this method to witness one''s adulthood. The only pity is that the luxurious manor, which covers an area of ??nearly ten acres, lacks a hostess..."


    Even in this busy entertainment season, the news of Ryan''s move has occupied an important position in the entertainment page. The person who was named the nation''s first genius finally became an adult.


    The tabloids will naturally not let go of this opportunity to publish relevant reports, but the way they attract attention is dazzling.


    "Since Ryan Jenkins moved out of his and Nicole Kidman''s common home in such a hurry, there must have been an irreconcilable conflict between the two. The friendship between the two of them for more than ten years is about to end..."


    "In early December, Nicole Kidman had stayed in Australia for a very long time. According to people familiar with the matter, she had a wedding with her secret boyfriend, which was attended only by her family. Since she had not consulted Ryan in advance, this was the reason. It caused the two people to turn against each other..."


    Under the leadership of the caring people, these entertainment gossips can only be used for after-dinner talks, occupying the pages of many tabloid newspapers.


    However, the "California Liberty" has found another way, using other methods to arouse heated discussion among gossips, and even attracted some casinos in Las Vegas to open corresponding handicap.


    "Who will be the hostess of Jenkins Manor?"


    This is the eye-catching headline, and there are several pictures of actresses next to the comments.


    "Everyone knows that Ryan hasn''t made a public girlfriend yet. There are not a few actresses who have made good friends with him. Who is the most hopeful of entering Jenkins Manor?"


    "Drew Barrymore. He had an affair with Ryan when he was young, and now he has just experienced a failed marriage. It is rumored that the two have a very good personal relationship. Drew''s Flower Pictures can rise, and Ryan''s support has played a key role. "


    "Penelope Cruz. This Spanish movie star, who has just signed an actor contract with Marvel Pictures, has known Ryan for a short time, but he publicly praised Ryan for being the most attractive man in Hollywood and the most attractive for every woman. The ideal dream girl."


    "Charlize Theron, a female movie star from South Africa has risen rapidly in recent years. The films she starred in were deeply imprinted by Ryan Jenkins. The two had dinner together and watched football several times. Some people even claimed to watch it. I''ve been to Ryan in and out of Miss Charlize''s villa, even though they only admitted to being friends, maybe they have an underground relationship."


    "Natalie Portman, as we all know, Miss Natalie is Ryan''s best friend. The two have had friendship for nearly ten years. Apart from Nicole Kidman, she has the closest relationship with Ryan. People. In theory, these two people are the most likely to be boyfriend and girlfriend, even if they have been arguing since childhood."


    "California Liberty" listed more than a dozen candidates. Either they are female celebrities who have had intersections with Ryan, or celebrities who have been in and out of public places together, and even a few female students from Southern University. Regardless of the authenticity of the content, it has an eye-catching effect.


    This is the biggest gossip scandal before the new year, and the current issue of the California Liberty is out of stock. It was printed twice in a day, and the impact was considered a sensation. Not only was the public discussing it, but many people in the circle started gossiping.


    Ok! Gossip is something that people all over the world love to hear and see.


    Ryan didn''t care too much. He had too many things to do before the new year, so there was no time to pay attention to these tabloids.


    Although the party is handed over to a professional company to handle it, the invited guests need to be sure, and the heavyweights want him to call in person.


    On the last day of 1997, a large number of reporters and paparazzi gathered in front of this luxurious manor in Beverly Hills. Although they could not enter it, they had placed equipment at the door early. There were more than a hundred people, almost here. It became a small award ceremony.


    Everyone knows that Ryan Jenkins will hold up a grand party tonight. The people attending are all Hollywood celebrities, as well as the rich and upstarts of it and the media industry, as well as those who rarely show up. generation.


    Can have such appealing power to bring these people together, except for the top tycoons in Hollywood and the giants of media companies, among the younger generation, non-Ryan Jenkins is none other than.


    The only thing that made the media and reporters dissatisfied was that there was no red carpet in front of the manor. The cars of the most famous people also drove directly into the manor. Fortunately, the manor¡¯s door was open and the telephoto camera could vaguely shoot inside. Some of the situations.


    Some reporters rented nearby villas early and wanted to take advantage of the height to get some exclusives. Unfortunately, the tall walls and the large dense evergreen trees behind the walls almost completely blocked their sight, making these guys want to climb. The wall goes inside.


    This can only be a matter of thinking. Not to mention the intensive security personnel employed in the manor. The identity of the owner of the manor alone makes many people feel hesitant. This is a country belonging to capital. When wealth has accumulated to a certain stage, then It represents a powerful force and influence.


    Ryan Jenkins is not just a superstar, they know this better than anyone else.


    The Tom Hanks family, the George Lucas family, the Spielberg family, the Weinstein brothers, the Shirley Lansing family, the Schwarzenegger family, the James Cameron family, the mighty Australia Help...


    There are almost all the female celebrities listed in the gossip newspaper.


    "God, we should really rent a helicopter and fly into the sky to shoot!" The reporters gathered at the door yelled while changing the film.


    "Believe me, you will be warned if you don''t fly above the manor." A reporter pointed to the faint bodyguards. "They must be happy to shoot you down with a gun."


    Although these jokes have caused everyone to haha, they understand that for the super-rich, there are things that are unspoken, and the newspapers will only use them to pay for the people who eat.


    "Hey, John, I heard that your boss was also invited, won''t you go in with him?"


    "When I am promoted to the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times, I will be eligible to go in." John Bennet shrugged indifferently.


    His boss, Mick Taylor, the editor-in-chief of the entertainment edition of the Los Angeles Times, was also invited.


    At the same time, Mick Taylor got out of the car and walked towards the spacious garden under the guidance of the waiter. There was still some distance away, and the soothing music played by the band faintly came.


    As one of the heavyweight editors of the Los Angeles Times, he is also considered a well-informed figure. Walking in this famous mansion at this time, he still can''t stop a little envy and yearning. After all, the mansion, the car and the beautiful women, It is the pursuit of all men in this circle.


    Jack Warner Manor...No, it should be called Jenkins Manor now. He dare not say that this is the top mansion of Beverly Hills, but it is one of the top mansions.


    Say hello to the host, Mick Taylor began his own communication. There were too many celebrities present, including his colleagues, such as Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair. The two had a few conversations. , Needless to say some things, everyone knows that they are the supporters of Ryan Jenkins.


    This has nothing to do with stance, only with interests. In the past and in the future, their media can obtain too many benefits from the other party.


    People in Hollywood circles are basically acquaintances. For entertainment media practitioners such as Mick Taylor, the upstarts in the IT industry are more attractive to him.


    Yahoo¡¯s Jerry Yang, one of the Internet heroes who created the myth of it, and Ryan Jenkins are the first two major shareholders of Yahoo, and their stocks have made the two of them upstarts in the wealthy circle.


    That seems to be Alan Adhan, the president of Blizzard Entertainment. It is said that Blizzard has sold more than two million copies of Warcraft 2 and Diablo this year alone, sweeping the entire game industry. Some time ago , The Vidiwang Group from France wanted to acquire them, and made an offer of up to 500 million U.S. dollars, but failed.


    Who would have thought that Ryan Jenkins has invested millions of dollars in game studios to bring such rich returns.


    And Pixar. He saw several core members of Pixar who were exchanging views with Chris Witch of Blue Sky Studio. These two ugly ducklings have completely transformed into white swans in recent years, and they will soon soar into the sky.


    Even the two souls of Marvel Comics, Avi Allard and Stan Lee, made a special trip from New York. Although Marvel has not turned a profit yet , they have started a continuous big move, especially they The announced superhero movie plan is quite eye-catching.


    Then, he saw Scott Swift, the manager of several Ryan Jenkins foundations, Pai Kingsley, the controller of the brokerage team, Julius Stewart and Mela, the core members of Jenkins Pictures. Ni Sloan wait.


    These originally unknown people, after meeting Ryan Jenkins, without exception, became well-known people in the circle. Not only do they have a lot of resources in their hands, they also have a lot of money, and several of them have become Billionaire.


    People who can benefit for themselves are not terrible. Talents who can benefit for the entire team are horrible. Mick Taylor has rich experience and understands that people who know how to share are welcome. Common interests are the most important for maintaining team cohesion. link.


    Those who wanted to poach the core members of the Ryan Jenkins team all suffered failure. After all, there are a few people in North America who can bring such huge benefits to members of their camp like him.


    A brown-haired girl passed in front of him and walked towards where Ryan Jenkins was. Mick Taylor''s eyes shifted unconsciously, and the gossip heart stopped. ()

 Chapter 286： Busy party

    Please remember the website of this site: please post it to your qq group Weibo/WeChat forum to recommend the promotion introduction!


    "In the future, the profit of movie box office will become lower and lower. Winning high box office at a small cost will only become a special case. The bulk of movie revenue will come from various derivative products such as peripherals, discs, and video tape copyrights. Said, commercial movies shown in theaters will gradually become promotional tools. *Remember ww;om* in one second (please search or enter directly


    In the center of the lawn, there are many celebrities in the movie circle. Ryan is talking in the crowd. ¡°So, movies, especially commercial movies, want to be eye-catching, and topics that want to attract widespread attention. There have been breakthroughs in special effects and post-production, and large investment and production are imperative. This is the future trend of Hollywood exhibitions."


    "But if the film fails, the production company will be in big trouble." Spielberg interjected, "It may even go bankrupt!"


    "So, Stephen." Ryan shook his finger. "Co-production will become the mainstream production model. While multiple film companies share the benefits, they will jointly take risks. This is the safest measure."


    "Come on, Ryan." Bob Weinstein joked, "The safest measure is to let you participate in investment and creation."


    His words caused a lot of laughter around, although this was just a joke, it was recognized by many people.


    "No, no~ Bob." Ryan showed a rare caution and humility, "No one will succeed forever. The taste of the audience is the most elusive thing. Maybe one day I will have a big deal."


    Then he added, "Think about it, if "Titanic" fails, what kind of consequences will it bring? I believe there must be many people present who will throw me and Jim into the ocean in Mexico. Feed the fish."


    "The problem is that "Titanic" not only succeeded, but also achieved unprecedented success." Shirley Lansing expressed different opinions, "The global box office is about to be 1.9 billion US dollars, not counting peripheral and subsequent derivatives. , This profit is also very impressive."


    "So. We should work together and make the last effort, not only to leave a huge box office record, but also to the Oscar..." Ryan made a gesture that you understand.


    Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox are veteran film giants. Although they are not as flexible as Harvey Weinstein in terms of public relations, they have profound backgrounds.


    "Sorry, everyone."


    Follow Cameron''s reminder gaze. Ryan quickly found the girl standing on the periphery of the crowd, and walked over to the narrow smiles of the crowd.


    As in the past, Natalie''s dress is still very simple, with a checkered shirt and ordinary casual trousers, and she is staring at him with her arms around her chest.


    "Hi. Nat." Ryan pulled her up and walked towards the less crowded place.


    "You are always so busy, Ryan." Natalie''s voice, with a slight complaint in the cold.


    "I am the host of the party and need to greet the guests."


    As he was talking, Colin Hanks came over, "Ryan, I have received the outline and brief of the script. The story is somewhat..."


    He scratched his head.


    "Somewhat inexplicable?" Ryan laughed.


    "Nothing, I believe in your vision and strength." Colin Hanks'' eyes floated over Natalie, turned and left, "That''s it, Ryan, don''t bother you."


    "Tom Hanks'' eldest son."


    Seeing Natalie''s curious eyes, Ryan briefly explained, "I thought of a story about a horror movie. He is the male protagonist."


    "The debt that Desert Island owes for the rest of her life?" Natalie thought of the script in her mailbox.


    "Hmm, it''s better to owe less for such things as favor debt."


    Before they knew it, the two walked out of the garden. Ryan asked casually, "Aren''t you with Scarlett and the others?"


    Natalie didn''t speak, just turned her small head. Looking straight at Ryan, his brown eyes were meaningful.


    "Well, I apologize, Nat."


    Turn into the palm grove. Ryan made an apologetic gesture, "I didn''t mean to ignore you, you know, I''ve been too busy these days."


    "Busy to fool those women in the newspaper with sweet words?" Although there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, Natalie couldn''t help but stab her slightly.


    "When will the words in the tabloid be credible?" Ryan waved his hand helplessly, defending, "Public relations, scripts, studies, new movies..."


    Listening to the endless talk around her, and with careful explanations, the smile on the corner of Natalie''s mouth grew thicker, and the unhappiness in her heart became weaker.


    "My master can''t leave the party for a long time." Ryan pointed to the watch and pulled Natalie back.


    "Isn''t there another master here?"


    Thinking of the tall figure as the hostess greeting the female guests and the younger generation, Natalie always felt uncomfortable in her heart, as if something was wrong.


    "Nicole?"


    The gaze swept across Natalie¡¯s face, the girl¡¯s brown eyes were as deep as water, Ryan could not see anything, and deliberately tentatively said, "Nat, as long as you want, you can also be the hostess here."


    "I will one day." Natalie''s voice was extremely low, as if she was speaking to herself, "but not now."


    Seems to have heard it, and it seems to have not heard, Ryan Xun changed the subject, "Listen to George, you are about to go out on location?"


    "Well...maybe you are going to the desert of Morocco. You will go to visit the class, right?" Although the question was used, the girl''s eyes could not tolerate him to refuse.


    "Of course." Ryan nodded without hesitation.


    "Can you find someone to take me to visit your new home?"


    As soon as she walked into the garden where the party was held, someone came oncoming, and Natalie had to point to the huge main building.


    "Lisa, take Nat to visit."


    Ryan found the housekeeper and waited for them to leave before reaching out to the person in front of him, "I''m sorry, Robert, I have kept you waiting."


    "It doesn''t matter, Ryan." Robert Zemigis waved his hand casually. "The script is very good. Even if there is no picture, the soul in the text alone has the power to move people''s hearts."


    "So you agree." Ryan took two drinks from the passing adaptors and passed the red wine over them. "I''ve been waiting for your answer, Robert."


    "Can I refuse?" Robert raised his glass, sipped the red wine, and laughed.


    "If you don''t mind if I mail you bullets."


    After the basic cooperation intention is reached, someone will naturally talk about specific matters. Strictly speaking, apart from the studio, this film only needs two main locations, one is an island, and the other Ryan is ready to find the wrongdoer.


    The whole movie is almost advertising for FedEx, plus their reputation, don¡¯t worry about them not paying sponsorship fees, if the price is not agreeable, it is easy to handle, there is more than one famous express company in North America, you can find FedEx Talk about your competitors.


    However, Ryan believes that with its box office and film appeal, FedEx must be willing to cooperate.


    After all, except for the accidental plane crash, their image is very positive in the whole movie, which is a great opportunity to promote the company.


    Walking in the party crowd, Ryan kept greeting people. His handsome, determined face and polite manner all showed outstanding temperament and good upbringing, coupled with amazing talent and huge wealth behind it. , Is definitely the focus of most people''s eyes.


    After turning around, Ryan took a sigh of relief. Even though he had adapted to the American-style party life for a long time, this kind of social interaction still couldn''t make him feel relaxed, especially as he poured a lot of juice and soda into his stomach all the way down. Somewhat uncomfortable.


    Fortunately, everyone knows that he can''t drink, otherwise he will definitely get drunk.


    Just sitting at the table and wanting to take a break, Scott Swift came over suddenly, "So you are here, Ryan."


    "Something wrong?"


    "Allen wants Blizzard Entertainment to go public as soon as possible."


    It is probably clear that Ryan is a game blind. Scott explained a few words, "Blizzard Entertainment has several game plans in the future, which require a large amount of capital. If we continue to inject capital, the shares in the hands of Allen and others will be Dilute further..."


    "How long does it take?" Ryan rubbed his forehead, and the IT industry disaster was approaching.


    "In fact, we have been preparing for the listing, and it is estimated that it will not be over a year." Scott seemed very confident.


    "Well, you can discuss it and see how to deal with it." Ryan still kicked the matter back to the investment team.


    Regarding Blizzard Entertainment, Ryan remembers the game he once played. He vaguely knows that Blizzard Entertainment was acquired by some company and eventually became a game giant with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars. That game was adapted into a movie.


    I wonder if they succeeded? Ryan is very curious, after all, the game is adapted into a movie, and there are too few successful examples.


    Not long after Scott left, Pie? Jinsli came with someone again, with yellow skin, black eyes and black head from the perspective of temperament, she was of Chinese descent. Ryan used to be on other banquet occasions. Met him.


    I don¡¯t seem to be invited. Could it be someone invited by Jenkins Pictures?


    Although he was holding a family party, it was actually a social party. Jenkins Pictures united Paramount and now has a large amount of business on the other side. It is reasonable to invite the other party over.


    According to the information that came back, "Titanic" is raging on the film market on the other side. He has experienced this scene in his previous life, and he must be more hot now.


    "Mr. Ye, please sit down." Ryan looked at the person behind him, "This is?"


    "This is Mr. Wang, from Sanlian Publishing House in China. I came here to find you on a special trip, Ryan." Pai Jinsili quickly introduced.


    "Find me?"


    After a few people said hello and sat around the small round table, Ryan couldn''t help being a little strange. What did they do for themselves?


    The domain name of this book: Please tell each other to promote it! Thank you! Use the Ctrl+D shortcut to collect

 Chapter 287： See you in the next song

    Those who can come here to talk about business must be very familiar with the West. This Mr. Wang is not only fluent in English, but also very direct, without the circumspect politeness.


    "Mr. Jenkins, the publisher wants to introduce your novels, "Ryan Tales" and "Harry Potter" series. We will try our best to promote the distribution of these books."


    Introduce? publishing? Ryan brought up the spirit. Although previous experience estimated that there should be pirated copies of these books in the opposite book market, they could enter it with integrity...


    Hmm... These two series seem to be fairy tales, there should be no place to click, right?


    He has heard from people from Paramount Pictures that after "Jurassic Park" was introduced there, a certain big scissors clicked through a lot of clips. There is no scene of a dead person in the movie, even if it is pg-13. Class movie.


    Paramount executives have complained frequently, but Ryan didn''t take it seriously. This movie has not entered there in the past life, so please be satisfied if you can introduce it in this life.


    There is also "Titanic". I remember that after it was released, many people called Leonardo Xiao Li, so what would he be called? Is it Xiao Rui?


    Ryan had a chill, gave up all these random thoughts, briefly considered the meeting, and said, "I agree in principle, and the specific conditions can be discussed with my agent."


    He motioned to Pie Jinsli.


    "That... happy cooperation." The other party stretched out his hand.


    "Happy cooperation." Ryan shook hard.


    Now it is unrealistic to expect these books to make money. Ryan knew this well and didn''t say anything else. The huge piracy alone will shock the publishing industry here.


    Not to mention. The audience for this kind of translation novels is not particularly wide. What kind of influence these books will bring depends on whether Sanlian Publishing House is willing to make great efforts to promote it.


    Just when Ryan thought they were going to leave, the silent Mr. Ye suddenly spoke. "Mr. Jenkins, I... also brought an invitation."


    With that said, he took out a very formal invitation letter from his handbag and placed it on the table in front of Ryan.


    Frowning, Ryan looked at Jinsli, only to see the manager lady shook her head slightly, obviously without knowing it beforehand.


    After taking the invitation letter, Ryan slowly opened it. There are corresponding instructions in Chinese and English. After a quick glance, I roughly understand what''s going on.


    "That''s it. Our domestic coastal city will hold an International Fashion Festival next year. I want to invite Mr. Jenkins to participate in the opening ceremony." The other party probably noticed Jinsli''s dissatisfaction and quickly explained it.


    "International Costume Festival?" Ryan''s fingers slowly clasped the table. "Who else did you invite?"


    "Miss Celine Dion. She has agreed in principle, and will sing "My Heart Is Eternal"." Mr. Ye looked extremely sincere, "After "The Cup of Life" and "Titanic". Mr. Jenkins can be said to be us The most famous Hollywood star over there."


    Ryan supported his chin with one hand, and slowly rubbed the invitation letter with the other, as if he was seriously considering the feasibility.


    Mr. Ye slowly exhaled, but the other party did not immediately refuse, which can be regarded as good news.


    The domestic news is not well informed, and only thinks that the other party is a famous entertainer. Whether he comes or not is nothing more than a question of price, but he is based in Los Angeles, and he naturally knows the actual situation. The influence and wealth of the other party can only be described by terror.


    "Well, I...think about it."


    Seeing Jinsli accompany the two of them to other places, Ryan shook his head, frankly speaking, he was a little moved, not for the number above, nor for some people in the previous life-just half a million dollars. Don''t put it in his eyes-just want to simply go over and take a look.


    As early as a few years ago, in front of the bridge in Hong Kong, he thoroughly understood where this life belongs.


    The relationship between the two sides is not very good now, nor is it the worst. After next year, it will have to wait until after 2001.


    "Quiet! Quiet!"


    The childish voice of the girl interrupted the disturbances at the party. People including Ryan couldn''t help looking at the stage where the band was at the same time.


    A little girl with blond curly hair, a big bow tied on her head, wearing a fan tutu, holding a small acoustic guitar, is standing in front of the microphone, smiling and looking down.


    Those big sapphire blue eyes shuttled through the crowd, quickly found Ryan''s location, and showed him a playful smile.


    "When I was very young, uh... This is what my mother said. I knew Ryan. He always made me cry, but... When I grew up, I was bullied. Okay. , I know I was too naughty and naughty at that time, I would cry to you at every turn, and often deliberately **** you off... Now, when I grow up, I know that Ryan Jenkins is actually a good person, and taught me how to play. Singing with guitar, gave me many gifts, and helped me fulfill many wishes. But! Don¡¯t think I¡¯ll let you go in the future!¡±


    Taylor Swift''s nonsense caused everyone to burst into good-faith laughter, and those who knew who she was actually clapped their palms to give encouragement.


    The little girl looked more serious, grabbed the golden curls all over her head, and said very seriously, "The last few words, Ryan, you are the best brother! The best friend! The most profound music teacher..."


    It¡¯s undoubtedly very touching for an eight-year-old girl to say this kind of thing, but the following words make Ryan laugh bitterly again, "It is also the most generous money jar, the stupidest fool, the No. 1 stupid in America. egg!"


    "A song for my favorite Ryan and my favorite Ryan, "Eighteen Years Old"!"


    The sound of the acoustic guitar is simple and scattered, but full of emotion. It is hard to say how beautiful the naive singing is, but it is fascinating.


    "We are confused and lonely, but we have freedom and happiness. Although we are young and bitter, we are wonderfully like magic. Now, you should break through all the shackles, no matter what you think, let the eighteen-year-old youth bloom to the fullest!"


    The weight of the guitar made the little girl gasp, but she tried her best to maintain the stability of the accompaniment and singing. She seemed to want to use her singing voice. Thanks to the person in the audience for his love for herself over the years.


    "This is our happiness and freedom''s perplexity. Just today, we will forget all the sadness and loneliness. This is our eighteen years old, the eighteen years old without bondage, the eighteen years old who danced happily, singing loudly. Eighteen years old belongs to Ryan..."


    "Wow, thank you, singing such a song is really not easy!"


    The **** the stage took off the guitar, and the guy from the band nearby took it for the first time. Taylor tilted his head and took the microphone from the stand. Even though he is only eight years old, he is not stage fright at all, but faintly excited.


    "Hey, you always have to say thank you, the actor in my song, come here quickly, do you want me to sing another song?"


    what is this? See you in the next song? Ryan found sadly that he had not escaped the fate of being part of her lyrics in the end.


    Fortunately, the song is full of positive energy, not sarcasm. As he walked towards the stage, he sighed in his heart.


    The tune of this song, Ryan, is very familiar. It should be one of the scores taken by the little girl by his graffiti before, but I don¡¯t know who wrote the lyrics.


    "Thank you, dear, you sing very well."


    Stepping onto the temporary stage, Ryan picked up the little girl and kissed her **** the forehead, "This is the best gift you gave me."


    "Hey, you still hate it." Tyler wiped his forehead vigorously, "18-year-old Ryan, still a child!"


    "Ryan, he is going to be an adult soon, so I have to say a few words!"


    The guests at the party, either his and Nicole¡¯s friends, or close partners, were all gathered in front of the stage at this time, and the one who yelled loudly was naturally James Cameron, who always troubled him.


    "okay then."


    After all, it is the second adulthood. Ryan is somewhat emotional. After working hard for so many years, he is also a successful person with a successful career. "Thank you for coming to my last party before the age of 18, thank you!"


    "The achievements I have achieved today are inseparable from the cooperation and help of everyone here, Nicole, Nat, Pat, Scott, Harvey, James, Stephen, Arnold..." A long list of names from His mouth popped out, these are some of the people with the closest relationship and the deepest cooperation, "You are all my mentors and helpful friends, and are all witnesses of my growth!"


    "Everyone, there are still many film and entertainment markets in this world waiting for us to develop, and our cooperation will continue."


    Ryan beckoned to the waiter, who quickly offered a glass of soda.


    "For our cooperation! For our movie can sweep the whole world!" Ryan took the lead in raising the glass, then drank it in one fell swoop.


    Those in the audience, especially those from several major film companies all laughed.


    Perhaps Ryan doesn''t understand too advanced business philosophy, but the truth is understood by everyone who has money. People who eat alone will not be welcomed anywhere.


    He is about to reach adulthood, his wings are getting fuller, and he doesn''t need to be as low-key and cautious as before.


    Besides, based on the information obtained overtly or secretly, the tyrant at Walt Disney seems to have no plan to give up. Once he has integrated the TV station, he will definitely turn his attention to himself.


    Although Ryan is not very afraid of him, there are certain things that must be prepared, right?


    As the night darkened, more and more people began to say goodbye. The hustle and bustle of the manor slowly returned to calm. Even most of the paparazzi guarding the door followed their goals.


    Like all parties, there are always single men and women who will look right at each other and don''t know where to go to the hotel. These people are the best targets for paparazzi. After dawn, there will be more gossip scandals in Hollywood.


    That''s how 1997 has passed, and Ryan will soon usher in a glorious 1998. ()

 Chapter 288： Not yet the end

    "Continue to talk to them, tell those theater owners, tell them, no matter what, to postpone the schedule of "Titanic" past the Oscars."


    At the small table under the palm tree, Ryan was walking up and down, constantly shouting at the phone, "I have communicated with the partner, we can make concessions on the theater line, 8 to 2 or even 9 to 1. Yes, we have made enough money. I only need the box office record now..."


    Oh, God! This is my boyfriend? Why did he think he was so capable before, but now he feels so vulgar? Has the relationship between each other changed and so has the senses?


    Natalie leaned on the back of the chair, looked away from the laptop document, and patted her forehead with her little hand.


    "Sorry, Nat, I''m ready to have tea with you..."


    Before he finished speaking, the mobile phone that Ryan hung up rang again. He glanced at the number on it, and couldn''t help but connect.


    "Hi, Pat."


    "Ryan, the publishing house is settled."


    "Well, it''s hard work."


    Just as Ryan wanted to hang up, Jinsli''s voice came over there again, "Wait for Ryan, there are several programs inviting you."


    "Take it all away."


    "okay then."


    After all, he is not an ordinary star, and no one can force a rich man with a net worth of 2 billion dollars to participate in a variety show.


    "Our afternoon tea is already cool."


    When he sat down, Natalie said helplessly, "I promised your date today, it was definitely a mistake."


    "No way, Nat." Ryan looked at the black tea in the pot and beckoned to the maid in the distance, "Nicole has gone to Australia. I need to make decisions about many things now."


    After the New Year, Nicole went to Australia with the "The Matrix" crew. The remaining training and filming of the entire film will be completed there. Many of the chores she handled before naturally fell on Ryan.


    In fact, not only "The Matrix", "American Pie", which is in preparation, will also not be filmed in California.


    The North American film industry, just like the traditional manufacturing industry, has moved overseas on a large scale, especially in regions such as Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, which have become popular locations for filmmakers to shoot films.


    These places, compared to California, have huge cost advantages in taxation, labor costs, food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The transfer of studios to overseas, like co-productions, has become an inevitable trend in Hollywood''s development, even if In the new century, the prefectural Zhengfu adjusted related taxes for this purpose, but it still hasn''t improved.


    The maid brought black tea again. After Ryan filled Natalie, he pointed to the notebook and asked, "Have you seen the script? How do you feel?"


    ""Remains on a Deserted Island"? This...it seems like you have written the most in-depth script." Natalie added a few pieces of sugar to the cup, held the tea cup in both hands, and rubbed it back and forth. "Reflection on life? For life. Feelings? Ryan, are you sure you can play this role well?"


    "Why not?"


    The black tea in the cup was drunk, and Ryan asked very seriously, "I wrote the story, why can''t I act it out?"


    "Age, experience." Natalie put down her tea cup and tapped the table lightly, "Don''t forget, you are only eighteen years old!"


    "Come on, Nat." Ryan leaned on the chair and waved indifferently, and said, "These can be compensated by other methods. Since I can write this story, I will definitely be able to act it well. Besides, you played Annie? When Frank, didn¡¯t you have so many experiences? It¡¯s not very well received."


    "You always make sense."


    With the increase of age, Natalie''s sharpness in her teenage years has decreased a lot, and there have been fewer and fewer disputes with Ryan, and some things have been able to compromise.


    Closing the notebook, Natalie packed up her bag and stood up, "It''s getting late, let someone take me back to the hotel."


    "Do you have to go back?" Ryan tilted his head, looked at Natalie''s chiseled face, and said softly, "Nat, there are many rooms here. You can live here at night."


    "What''s your purpose?" Natalie looked over and saw Ryan''s very sincere expression. Her eyes flashed, and she seemed to be a little moved. Finally, she said, "When I was out of the hotel, there was a paparazzi. After following it, if I don¡¯t go out overnight, it will definitely spread throughout the United States tomorrow."


    Sending away Natalie, Ryan finds sadly that he has become a lonely again. Nicole goes to Australia. The scene in Natalie''s studio is completed and she will return to New York soon...


    Of course, this does not mean that he has nothing to do. There is a lot of work to be done. The Oscar nomination is about to be announced!


    After just two days, the film finally reached a new agreement with the theaters. It will not be offline in the short term, but the proportion of the theaters has reached 90%.


    As if stimulated by this good news, the North American box office unexpectedly rebounded slightly. After the new week, the North American box office finally passed the 700 million U.S. dollar mark, and the global box office exceeded 1.9 billion U.S. dollars!


    "Titanic has no end!"


    "After more than half a year, this big ship is still cutting the waves all over the world. Every cent that it receives means the birth of a new record. Now the global box office has exceeded 1.9 billion U.S. dollars, the mark of 2 billion U.S. dollars. You can touch it, where will its record stop in the end? Who will break it next time?"


    "This film has created unprecedented commercial success. It can be called the pinnacle of Hollywood movies. The thinking about people, love, and society transcends the boundaries of culture and beliefs. Strong response."


    "It created a world-class phenomenon, completely beyond the scope of movies, and shining all over the world!"


    "It created a new situation in Hollywood movies. Many closed markets in the past have completely opened up because of this movie!"


    "It even triggered an unprecedented moviegoer on the other side of the block. This is definitely a major victory for American culture!"


    "This is a masterpiece that spans the centuries. It is not an exaggeration to praise it with any honor and praise. I believe that after the Oscars are over, we will cheer for this movie again..."


    "Vanity Fair" and "Los Angeles Times" once again published large-scale commentary reports on movies, hoping to create even greater momentum at this moment when the Oscar nominations are about to be announced.


    Otherwise, Harvey? Weinstein spent a lot of resources on Nicole¡¯s best actress. Although he did not promise Ryan, the trilogy with huge investment is about to start shooting. If even the nomination fails, he There is no face to continue mixing in Hollywood.


    As for Ryan himself, he is not sure at all. After all, his previous life Leonardo? Mr. DiCaprio, what happened after this movie, impressed him too deeply.


    Despite a lot of recent events, Ryan took the time to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport to bid farewell to Natalie and her group who temporarily returned to New York for vacation. In "Star Wars 1", her remaining scenes are basically in Morocco.


    "Ryan, remember to visit me in Morocco at that time and don''t let me put my pigeons, otherwise it will make you look good."


    In the empty VIP room, Natalie''s eyes widened, her eyes tightly wrapped around the guy on the opposite side, and finally she lit her small fist.


    "Morocco, I remember! Dear Nat, you have said it several times." Ryan grabbed the fist waving in the air and kissed it lightly.


    "I gotta go¡­¡­"


    Natalie pulled her arm back, turned and walked outside the door.


    "Nate!"


    Ryan took a step and grabbed the girl''s arm. With just a slight pull, Natalie plunged into his arms. Her slender arm, like a koala, hugged his waist.


    Holding up the girl¡¯s slightly raised face, Ryan kissed hard. He used so much force that he seemed to want to swallow Natalie into his stomach. As the girl¡¯s whispered nose sounded, his hands went smoothly. With an angular face, he quickly slid downwards, and finally hugged Natalie''s waist.


    Although the movements are very jerky and the skills are not very proficient, Natalie responded to Ryan with only a few skills, wanting to let him know that she is passionate about him...


    After a long and lingering deep kiss, just like when they were children, their foreheads were on their foreheads, and their eyes were on the eyes. Even if the appearance of the other party had been deeply imprinted in their minds, it was not enough.


    "I love you, Ryan..."


    The long island girl¡¯s whisper in exchange for Ryan¡¯s gentleness, he lowered his head to find the two swollen lips, and gently sucked them. It was completely different from the wildness just now. At this moment, he seemed so cautious, like his Na Tally is a fragile porcelain doll.


    "Nate, I really don''t want you to leave."


    At this moment, there is only one person left in his headRyan, when I stand high enough, we will make it public, okay? "Natalie buried her whole head in the big chest.


    "Uh..." Ryan quickly raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. "Oops, Nat, time!"


    "Ah..." Natalie just woke up, wiped a few hands on her lips, opened the door and walked out, "Ryan? Jenkins, if the flight is delayed, I will definitely ask you to settle the account! !"


    Seeing the huge Boeing airliner climb into the sky, Ryan suddenly remembered that the business jet he ordered is not yet in place.


    In other words, should we return the order and directly order the Boeing 747, which is known as the world''s largest passenger aircraft?


    Shaking his head, Ryan walked outside the airport. The business jet was enough for him, and there was no need to use this method to show his identity and status.


    When the order was placed, sent? Jinsli ordered three at a time. In addition to those belonging to Ryan and Nicole, she and Scott also bought one. (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 289： Nomination announcement

    During the award season, especially some time before the official announcement of the Oscar nominations, Hollywood is absolutely in a state of flurry of demons and brokerage public relations. The Oscars ceremony is the best publicity show for stars of all sizes. If you join in You can''t get any tickets, so what else?


    In addition to those who can be involved in the nomination, those second-tier stars or newly-promoted movie stars have tried their best to get in touch with each other, hoping to get an invitation from the organizing committee and become a guest or one of the invited people.


    Propaganda and public relations can be said to be a very profound knowledge. When you have a plan, and the plan is huge, you can''t say it directly, so as not to arouse people''s revulsion and become a target of public criticism. The degree and the psychological bottom line of the college must be determined. Master it well.


    Every year when the public relations battle is the fiercest, some people secretly receive some cryptic reports. If you don''t know the convergence at this time, the film school will never mind throwing them to the media to show their fairness and justice.


    Even if there are risks, there are still countless celebrities who spend a lot of money to hire the most famous public relations company, because if you do it, you may not get a goldman. If you don''t do it, you will almost certainly miss the award.


    Nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, Directors¡¯ Guild Awards, etc. have long been announced. "Titanic" has become a big nominee and the highest-voicing film. The only remaining suspense is how many nominations will the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences give it?


    As for the other key film "Irene? "Brockwich", because of the release time, missed most of the award nominations, including the Golden Globe, and seemed to be a few steps behind the competition.


    Over the years, Ryan has established a huge network of relationships in Hollywood, and has dealt with many core members of the academy, although public relations skills are better than Harvey? Weinstein is a few grades worse, but he has a lot of experience.


    He stared coldly at the media and Hollywood, Garcia? Rodriguez kept passing on the latest news, with Harvey? Weinstein''s contact number always rings several times a day.


    "Harvey, if necessary, you can give up all the performance awards of "Titanic" and strive for the best actress!"


    Ryan''s words can be said to represent his inevitable attitude towards a certain little golden man.


    This year¡¯s Oscar is very different for the college, because the Oscar is about to usher in a 70-year-old student. As for the award ceremony, it¡¯s scheduled for late March. As usual, the organizing committee is about two months ahead of schedule. , Announced all nominations.


    After seeing the nomination list, the heart that Ryan had been holding finally fell back into his stomach.


    "Irene? "Brockovich" received five nominations for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture.


    "Titanic" won the best makeup, best editing, best photography, best soundtrack, best art direction, best costume design, best visual effects, best original song, best supporting actress, best A total of 16 nominations including the leading actress, best director, and best picture!


    That''s right! Not the fourteen nominations, but sixteen!


    As for the two additional nominations, they are directly related to Ryan, they are the best original screenplay and the best actor!


    The whole set of public relations work can be described as a complete victory, especially the best actor in "Titanic", which is Ryan and Harvey? Weinstein''s most uncertain nomination.


    Strictly speaking, Ryan''s performance in the movie is indeed much better than the younger Li in the previous life, but the overly handsome appearance is a big problem.


    However, compared with Xiao Li in his previous life, his identity and influence are completely different. He is the leader of the entire "Titanic" project and is one of the leading figures of Hollywood commercial movies today, and the total box office ranking in movie history. The first and second movies are inextricably linked to him.


    To put it bluntly, this is the main reason why Oscar is ¡®dismissed¡¯ by the so-called European directors. It will bow to business and will be disturbed by too many external factors.


    Of course, if Oscars would nominate them, these ¡®dismissive¡¯ guys would definitely run over with a shy face.


    Besides, the three major European film festivals are fair? The same is to divide the cake.


    Because all resources are used in "Titanic" and "Eileen?" "Brockwich", several other films are inevitably affected, such as "Men in Black," which swept the Christmas stalls and exceeded US$200 million at the North American box office. It has been nominated for several nominations in the past, but it has all come to naught.


    Ryan doesn''t care, "Irene? In addition to the heroine, Brockovich¡¯s other nominations are only incidental. Now, "Titanic" has achieved a unique record in nomination, and the next one is naturally the winning record.


    After the nomination list was announced, the whole Hollywood was boiling, and all the media immediately reacted. The editor-in-chief of major newspapers and tabloids ranted against reporters and paparazzi.


    "No matter what method you use, you must let Ryan? Jenkins speak. If you can''t get enough information, you will stay at the door of his manor 24 hours a day and follow him around the clock! I only need to talk about Ryan? Jenkins. News, no excuses and excuses!"


    Less than two hours after the announcement of this list, hundreds of reporters blocked the door of Jenkins Manor. In addition, all those close to Ryan received the same care.


    send? Jinsli, James? Cameron and others have become the focus of media attention.


    Even Natalie, who is as far away as New York, was jammed in the street by reporters and paparazzi when she was out, and she had to express her opinion.


    "I think this is normal. This guy Ryan has broken a series of Hollywood records. It''s no big deal to break a few more."


    normal? No big deal? Many reporters wanted to put the microphone in the mouth of the calm-looking girl, but now it is a good standard. In the extremely competitive 90s, it is normal for a movie to get 16 nominations?


    Well, they know that this girl is also a genius, maybe only a genius can understand the thinking of a genius.


    "Miss Natalie, do you think that Ryan''s performance in "Titanic" is really worthy of the best actor nomination?" A reporter did not give up and wanted to pull out some exclusive content.


    "The academy is the most authoritative organization in the film industry. Since Ryan has been recognized by them, that explains everything, doesn''t it?" Natalie''s words seemed so natural.


    In fact, not just Natalie, many Hollywood professionals have accepted media interviews and expressed some opinions.


    ""Titanic" is a great masterpiece, you can take out every nomination to compare with the movie, and you will find that it is worthy of any of these sixteen nominations!" Spielberg did not Cover up his recognition and praise for this movie, "As for Ryan, I don''t think I need to say anything? "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic" are enough to prove his talent and ability! I think even in the past For fifty years, it will be impossible for similar characters to appear in Hollywood."


    "Yes, I do not deny that I played a leading role in the pre-production and post-production of the film. However, the creativity and conception of the entire film all come from Ryan, especially the key suggestions he made in it. Let us avoid a lot of detours. It can be said that without him there would be no such great masterpiece! "James? Cameron talked about the performance problem again, "Is there a problem with Ryan''s performance? Absolutely not! His performance can even be described as perfect. He deserves this nomination!"


    "Do you know that in 1993, Ryan stood in front of me and asked, "Hey, Harvey, are you interested in co-producing a movie with a minimum investment of 200 million US dollars!" How shocking is that? But his perseverance, His confidence, his determination, and his talents all tell me clearly, get involved, it will be an epic victory! "Harvey? Weinstein talked in front of reporters, "As for the result? I think everyone has seen it now, right?"


    "I have never seen a creator who is more able to grasp the tastes of the audience than Ryan. As everyone knows, he is best at bottling old wine in new bottles. Unlike others, the old wine he returns to the oven always hits the audience. Need, you can always succeed. I think everyone knows that the story of "Titanic" is a variant of "Romeo and Juliet", just such a story that has been used repeatedly for hundreds of yearsRyan is still You can write different flavors. "George? When Lucas returned to California from the location, he also accepted an interview with reporters, "Titanic will become the benchmark of Hollywood commercial films, and Ryan has become our banner!"


    ""Titanic" is indeed a big commercial production, but the thoughts on society, people, and feelings contained in it can not be ignored. It has strong practical significance and represents the Hollywood film industry. The highest level of technology, I think the sixteen nominations are not excessive at all."


    The spokesperson of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also expressed some official opinions at the regular press conference, ¡°As for what you call Ryan Jenkins¡¯s best actor nomination, I think he is in the movie His acting performance is enough to prove that this nomination is well deserved! Yes, his performance has some minor problems, but more shining points. We can''t ignore his efforts just because of his appearance, right?"


    The official statement is enough to suppress many doubts. It has to be said that the huge halo behind Ryan and the active public relations work have played a huge role.


    After a short period of gestation, the media has prepared ample ammunition ¡ª a large number of news reviews and forecast articles ¡ª which, thanks to the Oscar¡¯s east wind, has set off a new fever. (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 290： Good show again and again

    "Hello everyone, this is the current affairs live program of the News Channel, I am Roy Jefferson, now on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan..."


    The young male reporter is holding a microphone and standing on the side of the road. The background behind him is the world-famous shopping mecca. At this time, there are many onlookers standing on the road, and it is obvious that there will be a good show soon.


    "Yesterday the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences officially announced the Oscar nominations. "Titanic" created the 16 most nominations in Oscar history. Ryan Jenkins won a record of four individual nominations. Ryan is in New York. In order to celebrate this unprecedented record and fulfill the original promise, it is said that a girl¡¯s support club will stage a collective streaking on Fifth Avenue..."


    This temporary live broadcast program immediately attracted the attention of countless people. Many people who heard the news gathered in front of the TV and waited for the spectacle to appear.


    At this time, more and more people gathered on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Although there was no public statement, the news that a female fan group was going to run naked had long been spread across the United States along the Internet.


    The New York police had to temporarily deploy additional personnel to maintain order on Fifth Avenue, and had a dialogue with the person in charge of the fan organization, hoping to cancel the event, but most of these crazy girls from the Upper East Side did not buy theirs at all. Account.


    "There is no doubt that after "Titanic", Ryan Jenkins has an unparalleled influence, supporting more and more fans, more and more crazy..."


    Just as this reporter named Roy Jefferson was still talking, the doors of two luxury stores not far from him suddenly opened. Hundreds of girls who were almost naked, rushed from inside. On the Fifth Avenue.


    "Ryan! Ryan! Ryan! Support Ryan!"


    It seems to have been trained in advance. The shouts of more than 500 people were not only uniform, but also went straight to the sky, suppressing all kinds of sounds on Fifth Avenue.


    Although only a small amount of fabric covered the key parts of the lower body, these eighteen-year-old girls, without any shyness, ran slowly through the crowd, generously displaying the various oil marks painted on their bodies.


    "Ryan. I love you!"


    Most girls have these words smeared on their chests.


    "You are the Oscar actor in our minds, Ryan! If it is not awarded to you, we will boycott the Oscar in the future!"


    Many people have held up such banners. For them in the rebellious period, they don''t care about the standards of the judges.


    These are fairly normal, and crazy girls, with crazy slogans written all over their bodies.


    "Ryan, I will be your girlfriend..."


    "Ryan, I want to marry you..."


    "Dear Ryan. We do..."


    "Ryan, you are the ideal one-night stand partner."


    These hot slogans are as eye-catching as the hot body of a girl. The reporters who get news in advance or coincide with the meeting will keep pressing the camera shutter to bring out the pictures of the girls. Incorporated into the lens.


    "God, take a look. Look at these hundreds of girls who are obsessed with Ryan. I have no doubt that as long as Ryan beckons, these girls are willing to do anything for him, even if they jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. ."


    Roy Jefferson greeted the photographer and followed these girls all the way to Times Square. "These girls from the Upper East Side have enviable family backgrounds. They are just a miniature, all over the United States. Ryan? The supporters of Jenkins have become the largest group..."


    This event spontaneously held by fans brought a huge chain reaction after the live broadcast. Fan organizations in major cities have expressed their support for Ryan and "Titanic" through streaking, rallies, parties, etc. If they are selected, I am afraid that all the nomination awards will fall to Switzerland. En''s hands.


    Of course, Oscar''s right to speak is only in the hands of a small number of people. If the enthusiasm and support of fans alone can win the prize, Leonardo in his previous life will not turn himself into a middle-aged uncle.


    After the nomination was announced, "Titanic" suddenly made a big effort, the box office rebounded sharply again, the number of theaters screened also rose steadily, and the global box office is approaching the US$2 billion mark infinitely.


    Sixteen nominations have brought this big ship back to the front page headlines of major media entertainment editions. Whether it supports or opposes it, "Titanic" has once again become the target of entertainment media.


    "The 14 Oscar nominations for "Comet Beauty" were finally broken by "Titanic" after being maintained for more than forty years. This super ship was built by Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron. It has broken too many records, too many for us to count. It has earned a huge reputation for Hollywood productions all over the world. In this regard, the sixteen nominations are well-deserved!"


    "The biggest question now is, how many statuettes can it win back from the Oscars? Can it break the record of winning the 11 statuettes of "Ben Xu"?"


    -"Los Angeles Times"


    "In addition to the record-breaking 16 nominations for "Titanic", don¡¯t forget Ryan Jenkins himself. He also won a record four single-man nominations. In addition, he invested in the two films he led, not only at the same time. Won the best picture nomination, and James Cameron and Steven Soderbergh were nominated for best director."


    "Looking back on the past, the directors and actors who have worked with Ryan have all become Hollywood stars, and the actors he recommended to major producers also have considerable potential, and some have even become first-line big stars. This I can¡¯t help but give people a hint that Ryan¡¯s favor is the beginning of fame. For the men and women who are struggling in Hollywood, this may be an opportunity to get ahead."


    -"Vanity Fair"


    "The excellence of "Titanic" can be proved by only the box office numbers that are heading towards 2 billion U.S. dollars. Even if you can only get a few insignificant figurines in the end, it will not detract from its greatness! Of course, Ryan Jenkins will be happier if he can win all sixteen awards."


    --"New York Times"


    In addition to the nomination for "Titanic", both Ryan and Nicole were nominated for best actor and actress, which is also the focus of media attention.


    "Even though Ryan''s appearance in the movie is a little bit young, but he has rendered such a role that has little room for acting, and he is worthy of a best actor nomination, but it is only a nomination."


    "Miss Nicole Kidman from Australia, for the role of Irene Brockovich, once again won the best actress nomination, which is well deserved! Frankly speaking, her performance in the movie , Far exceeding the expectations of the audience and the media. This actress, who is known for her glamour and acting skills, presented the actress¡¯s most exciting performance on the big screen this year. Looking around at the other actresses who were nominated at the same time, she has a huge share. I can¡¯t think of anyone better than her to win this year¡¯s film queen statuette!"


    -"Hollywood Report"


    In fact, at this stage, the basic overall situation of "Titanic" has been determined. The previous college will bow to the $1 billion box office. It should not be difficult to guess what choice they will make in the face of $2 billion in this world.


    As for Nicole''s best actress, although Ryan used means to get rid of "Perfect" and Helen Hunter in advance, but when it comes to certainty, it is only sixty to seventy percent.


    The day after the nomination was announced, Harvey Weinstein proposed to Ryan to hold a party to celebrate, but he politely rejected it. After all, it is only a nomination, and there is still a lot of work to be done in the follow-up, even if it is to be celebrated. , That would have to wait until the Oscars ceremony has completely ended.


    What''s more, there are still many media who are bad-mouthing "Titanic". This time it''s not just the tabloids that were published because of opposition, but there are also many media under the banner of art.


    "No one can deny the greatness of "Titanic" and its commercial success. However, such a film with an old storyline and relying on cg technology to win is a huge question about the artistic content of the film. The college broke the record. Given the sixteen nominations, is it a bit too much? Perhaps because of the digital global box office and the pressure of tens of millions of fans in the United States, the college made this choice. However, they still have a chance to make up for it. "No." with the box office and sixteen nominations is enough."


    -"San Francisco Chronicle"


    "Perhaps Ryan Jenkins and his partners are celebrating the number of nominations for the film, but they are too early to be happy. Think of the lessons learned from films such as "Bagsey" and "Shawshank''s Redemption"~ www.novelhall.com~ It is not uncommon in the past to get multiple nominations and go home empty-handed. "Titanic" may set a record in this regard. After all, the key to the Oscar victory lies in art, not the so-called Box office numbers!"


    ¡ª¡ª"Art Field"


    "Ryan Jenkins won the best actor nomination for Jack Dawson. This is definitely the biggest scandal in Oscar history! Think about it, an actor, regardless of his acting skills, can just show off that handsome face. To get a nomination, there will be at least one hundred actors in Hollywood who are eligible to be nominated this year!"


    "The college has obviously been affected by other factors, and has given up the principle of fairness and justice that it has always adhered to. This has to be said to be a kind of sadness..."


    -"New Englander"


    The core components of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are Jews and Jewish descent. It is no surprise that the New Englander will publish such openly questioning articles.


    Ryan was questioned by them. It was uncommon. Before he could make a counterattack, the college announced at a regular press conference-this awards ceremony thanks for the interview and report. ()

 Chapter 291： School and studio

    "This is the academy''s recognition of "Titanic" and the entire crew. It is a great honor no matter how many statuettes you can get in the end."


    Faced with dozens of entertainment reporters, Ryan finally made a simple response to the Oscar nomination list, "Myself? At this age, it is very rare to be nominated for Best Actor in a row, I don¡¯t think. I have the qualifications to win that little golden man."


    After speaking, Ryan turned his head and walked into the school under the protection of several bodyguards.


    After entering mid-February, USC Film Academy ushered in a new semester. Walking on a quiet campus, there were no reporters and paparazzi riots around. Ryan strode towards the office area of ??the college, occasionally familiar with it. The people say hello.


    Nowadays, the entire USC has long been accustomed to the existence of his star student. Even though someone will come to say hello from time to time, very few onlookers happen, even if a girl who commits a nymph sends love letters or other gifts. Also rarely entangled for a long time.


    Before arriving at the tutor''s office, after Ryan knocked on the door lightly, Professor Gret''s voice came from inside.


    "Please come in."


    "Hello, Professor Great." Ryan greeted respectfully.


    "Sit, Ryan." Professor Great gestured to the chair opposite the desk. After Ryan sat down, he said, "I heard the assistant say that you are going to ask for leave again? It''s not long before school starts."


    "Sorry, professor." Ryan scratched his head and said embarrassingly, "A movie I starred in is in preparation and will start soon. I have to produce several other movies. The time is really tight."


    "Ryan, go on like this. It''s hard for you to earn enough credits." Professor Great thought about it and said suddenly.


    "I understand that I will take the time to complete my studies as much as possible."


    After a brief conversation, Ryan came out. Currently entering the preparatory period and there are too many movies being produced, such as "Leaves of a Deserted Island", "Blade Warrior", "American Pie", "Mission Impossible", "The Matrix", and "Toys". "Story Mobilization 2", "Insect Agents", "Jurassic Park 2" and so on. Even if he devolves most of the power, he always has to intervene occasionally, lest the film deviates too much.


    Fortunately, the most troublesome special effects productions are currently being produced by Jerry Bruckheimer or Catherine Kennedy.


    After ordering a few hot takeaway drinks from the open-air cafe of the Film Academy, Ryan returned to the temporary dormitory. When he opened the door and walked in, only a few people in the living room were sitting around the sofa. Drinking canned beer while discussing things.


    Seeing Ryan coming in, a few people beckoned to say hello, Darren Bousman was also polite, and took the hot coffee in Ryan''s hand and distributed it to several other people.


    "God. Ryan, you finally showed up. We thought you were going to graduate early."


    "It should be a dropout." Someone added.


    "I''ve been a bit busy lately. What are you discussing?" Ryan grabbed a cup of coffee and sat on the solo sofa.


    "What else can be, of course, our experimental feature film." Chen Jiazheng explained casually, "Last summer and just past New Year''s holiday, we all worked part-time in the crew you introduced, accumulated a lot of experience and made money. With the subsidy from the college, it is enough to make a simple experimental feature film."


    "Have you decided what type of feature film to shoot?" Ryan asked.


    Co-production of experimental feature films is a course that students of their major must complete. Those students in the past shot mostly experimental films of about forty minutes.


    However, Ryan knew. These guys want to shoot a standard length feature film.


    "Of course it''s a horror movie." Darren Bousmanli added, "A standard length of about 90 minutes."


    "It''s better to be screened in theaters." Reese took it.


    "What about the script, are you ready for the script?"


    Student experimental feature films want to be shown on regular theaters. The difficulty is not so big. Ryan can''t help but wonder, what do these guys want to shoot?


    "not yet."


    "We are waiting for your idea."


    "Ryan, you can provide an idea."


    Of course, these guys are obviously joking. They are not ideal students. In the past few years, under the introduction of Ryan, they have participated in many film crews. Although they are only doing chores, they have gained a lot of experience in Hollywood. Some intuitive understanding.


    What does Ryan Jenkins'' creativity and script represent? Now in the entire movie circle, how many people don''t understand?


    You know, many small and medium-sized filmmakers who want to cooperate but have no way out, after hearing about the relationship between their classmates and friends, even approached them for public relations.


    However, none of these people are idiots and understand how to choose.


    "In fact, we already have a rough idea."


    The most stable of the few, David spoke, "We are going to shoot a girl... well, a young girl, suddenly saw the reflection of the ghost in the middle of the night."


    "We plan to rent an old apartment for shooting." Darren Bousman added.


    "That''s it." Ryan lifted his chin and said after thinking about it, "Why don''t it be like this... well, this is just my suggestion, you don''t need to care too much..."


    "Come on, Ryan." After Reese interrupted, he quickly retrieved the laptop and opened the document, "Please continue."


    "Okay." Ryan rolled his eyes. "The protagonist is added to two people, the girl and her boyfriend. They are shot from the first point of view. To be precise, they use the method of shooting a documentary. You can use Sony. The newly released dv camera is used as a shooting tool, and the content should be completely life-like..."


    Although those present here lack experience, they are no strangers to documentary filming. After Ryan said a few words, they understood.


    However, Ryan also just clicked to the end, just mentioned the filming techniques of the film, not to mention the later operation, and did not even mention the specific content.


    After all, this kind of film is almost useless except for the first-person shooting method and the subsequent production of propaganda heads. If the high-achieving students at the Film School of Southern California University are still high-achieving students with a certain amount of experience, they can¡¯t even figure this out. Just drop out of school.


    "If you can, you''d better complete the shooting and post-production as soon as possible."


    Before leaving the house, Ryan said casually, whether he succeeded or not had little to do with him now.


    Even if the effect of their shooting meets expectations, Ryan does not intend to let Jenkins Pictures participate in it. This kind of overdraft of the film''s credibility is completely out of value.


    Flower Pictures that can be thrown to Drew Barrymore, anyway, he is also one of the major shareholders. The lawless guy would like the publicity and marketing method that plays with the public.


    Viral marketing!


    After walking out of the school gate, breaking out of the reporter''s siege, and getting in the car, Ryan couldn''t help shook his head.


    In his previous life, he was engaged in the most basic-level work of the theater. He knew that viral marketing was completely a myth. The effect of this thing will be very good for the first time, and it will only get worse and worse in the future. If you don¡¯t understand moderation, once it exceeds After a certain degree, it will bring huge negative effects.


    Human psychological endurance, like the taste of the audience, is simple to say, but in fact it is extremely difficult to grasp.


    The car left downtown Los Angeles and drove towards Warner¡¯s studio. "Blade Warrior" is being shot in the studio here. As Marvel Pictures¡¯ first superhero movie, it has attracted a lot of media attention.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    After quietly walking into the studio, Ryan stood at a suitable distance and was looking at the camera. Stan Lee suddenly walked over.


    "Stan, what are you..."


    Ryan looked at him up and down, the old man should be wearing a costume, and it seemed that he would go to battle in person later.


    "I made a cameo in a small role."


    Stan Lee stuck his iconic sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, "Ryan, are you interested?"


    "Forget it." Ryan didn''t want to be a background emperor.


    There are a large number of fighting scenes in this film, and various cool action scenes emerge in an endless stream. However, to see these, you must wait for the film to be fully post-processed.


    Actually Kung Fu fighting, the movements are completely routine, the speed is extremely slow, and there is no appreciation. Ryan just watched for a while before losing interest, even though the action director named Zhen in the middle went off the scene in person.


    Soon, Ryan found what he was interested in. The Spanish girl stood in front of the camera. She had a tight leather outfit and an unusually hot figure, showing the natural advantages of a Latin girl.


    Perhaps after noticing Ryan''s gaze, Penelope Cruz would show a charming smile from time to time between shooting, and occasionally the drifting eyes would fly over his face.


    "Hi, Ryan, it''s been a long time since I saw you."


    Probably it was after shooting his own shot Penelope Cruz, who had taken off his makeup, came over and said hello.


    "Hello, Pepe." Ryan nodded to her.


    "I haven''t congratulated you yet, Ryan." Penelope Cruz stood beside him, looking like a familiar friend. "Four Oscar nominations in a single year are crazy, how did you do it? of?"


    "Work hard, and a little luck." Ryan shrugged indifferently.


    No one knows better than him that most of his four nominations are for running, especially the best actor nomination. If it weren''t for the halo and the strong public relations in the early stage, there is almost no possibility of getting it.


    After a few casual chats, Ryan looked at his watch, made an apologetic gesture to Penelope Cruz, walked to the other side and greeted Stan Lee and other crew members, and prepared. Goodbye.


    "Ryan, I heard that you just moved to a new house, can you visit it?"


    Just before Ryan walked out of the studio, Penelope Cruz chased up from behind and made an unexpected request. ()

 Chapter 292： Federal Express

    Among the famous female stars in Hollywood, there may be idiots. The Spanish woman on the opposite side is definitely not among them. Ryan knows very well that Penelope Cruz is very good at seizing opportunities and is very good at using male stars to attract people''s attention to climb up. woman.


    As for the female celebrities who are the easiest to make sparks with male partners when filming, how many people will believe this kind of nonsense?


    Every scandal in her previous life was always uproar and became the hottest gossip, which can explain some problems.


    If it wasn''t for Penelope Cruz herself to do it deliberately, then there must be a team of agents who are good at hype behind her.


    Counting today, Ryan and her are only the second time they have met. Although the hotness of the Latin girl is indeed attractive, he does not want to be a stepping stone for others.


    Besides, it was just what Nicole and Natalie should do in the future. He didn''t think of a good solution. If other scandals suddenly appeared, it would be himself who would be ashamed.


    "Sorry, Pepe. I have other things tonight."


    Although the words were very euphemistic, Ryan refused to be resolute. Although the agitated voice in his heart had been clamoring, he still distinguished the priorities.


    "That... okay." Penelope Cruz''s face showed an expression of disappointment that could not be suppressed. She raised **** and gestured in her ear, "I''ll call you. Ryan."


    Seeing the Spanish girl walking away on high heels, Ryan breathed out slowly. This woman is indeed beautiful. Among Hollywood stars, she is absolutely top-notch, especially her Latin style...


    Damn it! Ryan patted his forehead, but it''s only been a month, you can''t help it?


    Ok. I should go to New York or Australia!


    Closing the door, Ryan leaned against the seat, his heart rolling.


    Back home, Lisa had already taken someone to prepare dinner. Ryan sat at the dining table, still inseparable from the two women, and did everything. Then there is nothing to regret, he never thinks that he is a moral person, not to mention that he is in Hao Lai.


    Compared to people of equal status in the circle, his private life is already very clean.


    As long as you want to find it, a man can always find countless reasons in this regard. In Ryan''s heart, Natalie is the long-cherished wish of the past life, and Nicole is the pursuit of this life.


    The problem is after the North Hollywood incident last year. The two people have already reached the point where they no longer speak to each other and only nod their heads. If they know each other''s existence in the future, it will definitely be a huge disturbance. Will they kill themselves as a party?


    Let''s eat first, after all, this is an urgent task!


    Although there are few foods on the table that I like to eat. Ryan still forcibly stuffed his mouth. Since the "Leaves of a Deserted Island" project was officially established, he has been assisted by a nutritionist. Increase weight in a planned way, in order to better fit the image of people before they landed on a deserted island.


    It is probably a physical problem. Although I eat a lot of high-calorie foods every day, the rate of weight gain can only be described by turtle speed.


    Pork floss, garden grilled ribs, butter sandwiches, cream chocolate pie, etc., these are the staple foods of Ryan now.


    It''s not just gaining weight. According to the shooting plan sent by Robert Zemigis, Ryan will have to reduce the weight gain soon, and even become thinner...


    In addition, he must learn to survive in the wild. At the very least, you have to learn skills such as spear fishing, drilling wood for fire, and grilling food from local materials.


    In addition to George, Ryan also hired a field survival expert. Carrying out targeted training is one of the reasons why he is very busy during this time.


    Going back to the room to take a shower, and busy with the work at hand, the landline bell that rang on time every night, once again rang, Ryan picked up the microphone, no accident, it was Nicole Kidd, who was far away in Australia. Man.


    "Hi, Nicole, did the shooting go well today?"


    Entering February, "The Matrix" officially launched on Warner Bros.''s set in Australia.


    "God, this is really a terrifying experience." Nicole''s habitual complaint came from the receiver.


    "Oh, what happened?" Ryan asked very cooperatively.


    "Not only did I fought in front of the camera, but I also dangled a wire in the air. My waist was about to break." Ryan could imagine that Nicole must be rubbing her slender waist at this time." Ryan, I regret it a bit, this kind of life may last nine months or more."


    "My dear, I will visit Australia frequently, and you can fly back to Los Angeles when you are on vacation." Ryan naturally understood Nicole''s thoughts.


    "okay then¡­"


    "I''m preparing for a new movie with Robert, and then I will have an audition for the supporting actress. After this time, I will definitely go to Australia." Ryan said vowedly.


    "I''m waiting for you, dear."


    Just hung up the landline and the mobile phone placed on the desk rang again. Ryan looked at the New York area number displayed on it and unconsciously rubbed his forehead.


    "Ryan, I just participated in the Long Island High School debate and won the first place!" Natalie said with uncontrollable excitement.


    Although Natalie gradually reduced her edge after she grew up, her eagerness to compete has not diminished at all.


    "Wow, congratulations, Nat."


    "Are there any rewards?" Natalie could only say this when facing Ryan.


    "What do you want?" Ryan asked cooperatively.


    "Let me think about it..." The voice in the earpiece gradually prolonged, "When we travel around the world, you will pay for the whole journey."


    "no problem."


    "That''s it for now, I''m going to work, goodbye, Ryan."


    "Goodbye, Na..."


    Ryan shook his head and smiled at the beeping sound. Natalie was still Natalie, and it seemed that she wouldn''t make a difference for anyone.


    After answering the phone calls of the two closest people in a row, Ryan was no longer in the mood to do other things, and sat in front of the desk, quietly thinking about the future.


    ...


    FedEx, one of the largest transportation and logistics groups in the United States and even the world, has its own global air and land transportation network. It usually only takes one to two working days to quickly deliver shipments with tight deadlines to ensure timely delivery Reach the destination.


    In the FedEx headquarters building in Memphis, Tennessee, several executives are sitting around in a luxurious meeting room, obviously discussing something.


    "The script of the movie I think everyone should have seen it."


    What¡¯s amazing is that what these executives are discussing is related to the movie, ¡°FedEx, it will appear from the beginning of the movie, and it will run through to the end.¡±


    "David, think about it again."


    Someone persuaded the CEO, "We can provide them with vehicles, personnel, venues, fleets, and many internal facilities for free, but the advertising fee of 25 million is too high."


    "There should be no problem in lowering the price to 20 million U.S. dollars." Another executive said at this time. "I want to remind you, about 20 million U.S. dollars, how much is it to advertise in prime time on the three major TV networks? Long time? Don¡¯t forget, this is Ryan Jenkins¡¯s movie! Or he wrote the script and starred in himself! With his fame and appeal, how many people will be attracted to the theater to watch? How many video tapes will be sold in the future? And discs?"


    Many people nodded subconsciously, Ryan Jenkins¡¯s name, how many people in North America don¡¯t know? His movies are almost synonymous with big sales!


    "Think about it, everyone." The CEO named David said. "In the movie, Ryan Jenkins plays a FedEx employee. Although there is a plane crash, our company is completely in it. It¡¯s a positive image. Maybe we can think about it in another way. Can Ryan Jenkins advertise for FedEx for $20 million?"


    Everyone shook their heads. The stock prices of Yahoo and Pixar are soaring. The value of Blizzard and Jenkins is constantly being re-evaluated. Ryan Jenkins''s wealth is getting richer and richer. If he doesn''t want to, who can force one The super rich take ads?


    "Also, Jenkins Pictures not only contacted us, but also contacted the Air Express Company..."


    The conference room gradually fell into silence. A few minutes later, David Bronzeko made a decision, "The negotiations with Jenkins Pictures officially opened. This is a good opportunity to expand our market share!"


    The only problem in the negotiation is the price of advertising fees. The rest of the assistance in filming, the provision of free vehicles and airports, etc., are not a big problem in the eyes of FedEx.


    In fact, after the New Year, Robert Zemigis and Melanie Sloan started the preparatory work of the crew. They not only contacted several super-large express companies, but also in Fiji. A small island was leased as the main location.


    The actors, props, funds and other aspects are gradually in place after entering February. The only thing that has not been decided is the partner.


    In terms of film, as in the past, Ryan accepted the investment from Paramount and Warner Bros. After FedEx expressed the negotiation intention, the two sides finalized the specific cooperation conditions at a very fast speed.


    In fact, from another perspective, the movies in the previous life are almost FedEx promotional films. In this regard, Ryan has not made too many changes. A company with a little bit of courage will make a wise choice.


    Although I really want to go to New York, Ryan understands that he must fully prepare for this movie. This is a movie supported by one person. If it is slightly flawed, it will definitely be magnified countless times.


    This time I won the best actor nomination by virtue of public relations and influence, which will surely arouse many people''s doubts. I always have a role that can convince most people, and this role is undoubtedly a very good opportunity. ()

 Chapter 295： 3 girls

    This is a building belonging to Warner Records. David Lear, the deputy music director, sits behind his desk and frowns when he looks at the four girls sitting opposite each other.


    A girl was alone, sitting next to her manager, the orange juice and ice cream on her face had been wiped clean.


    Opposite her, there are three other girls, two blondes and one brown hair. Among them, the little guy with golden curly hair, with arms around his chest, is staring at the other side fiercely.


    Seeing this little girl named Taylor Swift, David Lear couldn''t help having a headache.


    The other party¡¯s musical talent and effort are outstanding, and she is definitely the best among all the company¡¯s trainees. Some people even compare her with Ryan Jenkins back then, as long as she can maintain her current attitude towards music, plus The few people standing behind will certainly occupy an important position in the pop music world when they grow up.


    At the same time, she is also the most mischievous of all the trainees, and sometimes she can really make people angry.


    For example, today, two of her friends came to see her, just because Stephanie Germanotta mocked them, she put a glass of orange juice and a full box of ice cream on each other¡¯s heads. on.


    David Lear sighed and looked at his watch. The person who handled Taylor Swift should be coming soon.


    Frankly speaking, this girl is not only famous in Warner Records, but even in the industry as a whole. On the one hand, her musical talent is indeed outstanding, and on the other hand, many people know that there are several big Hollywood figures standing behind her.


    Looking across the girl''s careless little face, David Lear looked at his watch. Decided to wait until he comes to deal with it.


    Hollywood says it''s not small, and it''s not big. Well-informed people who don''t know, Taylor Swift is Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman''s favorite sister, although this is only a matter of a few children, but careful handling is the best choice.


    Just as David Lear was thinking about it, Ryan walked into the Warner Records building. Under the leadership of the staff, they greeted familiar people and walked towards this office.


    Ryan was not surprised when he received the call from Pie Kingsley to inform him. In the past two years, Scott was invited to school by the principal. It was normal that Taylor would mess around at Warner Records.


    Originally, it was best for Scott and Jinsli to come forward. But one of these two people is in New York and the other is in Australia, and Mrs. Andrea is a standard housewife, and it finally fell to him.


    "Hi, David."


    After saying hello, Ryan sat on one side of the sofa, looking at Scarlett Johansson and Kristen Stewart in turn. Finally, it fell on Taylor''s small face, with a slight sternness.


    "Ryan...Ryan..."


    Taylor Swift shrank his neck, his eyes rolled quickly a few times. "We can''t be blamed."


    "David, can you tell me what happened?" Ryan retracted his gaze and looked at David Lear.


    "That''s it." David Lear glanced at the girl and agent across from him. "This Miss Stephanie had a little misunderstanding with Tyler, and then quarreled. Tyler took a glass of orange juice and a box of orange juice. Ice cream..."


    "Alison, go and apologize to Miss Stephanie."


    None of the girls refuted. Obviously David Lear was telling the truth, and Ryan frowned.


    "I''m not..." Taylor pouted, seeing the sky blue eyes that were staring at her, jumped off the sofa, and walked to the girl opposite, "I''m sorry, Miss Stephanie Germanotta. ."


    "Huh~" The girl twisted her head and looked a few years older than Taylor.


    "It''s okay, just a small misunderstanding." The agent waved his hand quickly.


    It was just a quarrel between a few children, and neither side had any intentions to delve into it. After the other side led the girl out of the office, Ryan greeted David Lear and led the three girls away from Warner Records. Building.


    "Talk about it, why do you do this?"


    After getting in the spacious RV, Ryan shook his head and looked at Tyler. Although the blonde curly hair was a mess and a bit lawless, he was not a kid who bullied the kind of insignificant people.


    "I can''t blame Taylor this time." It''s so rare that Scarlett even defended her.


    Tyler¡¯s sapphire blue eyes were full of grievances, which faintly shone with water, and seemed to cry at any time. She first looked at Kristen Stewart, then at Scarlett Johansson, and finally fell on Rui. En''s face.


    "That Stephanie is not a good person. Today I took Christine and Xiao... Scarlett to visit the company, and I just met her. She called Christine a tomboy and Scarlett a fat girl, so I took Chris Ting¡¯s ice cream and Scarlett¡¯s orange juice poured on her head."


    That''s it? Ryan couldn''t help but curled his lips. It looked like you were the person who called tomboys and chubby ni the most?


    As if he knew what Ryan was thinking, Taylor continued, "Even if Christine is indeed a tomboy, Scarlett...well, Scarlett and I often quarrel, but they are all my friends. I can say these things, others are like this. Scolding them, I will definitely not let her go!"


    "Taylor..." Christine yelled weakly, expressing his protest.


    "For the sake of your defense of me today, I won''t care about you." Scarlett waved his hand generously.


    Ryan could only smile after listening to this crooked truth. In any case, Taylor¡¯s starting point was to protect his friends. Even though he had been arguing with Scarlett, after a few years of playing, it became a good one. friend.


    As long as you don¡¯t become the same in your previous life! Ryan felt a word in his heart, and rubbed the fluffy curly hair vigorously.


    "Huh, badass Ryan." Tyler wrinkled his nose.


    Ryan didn''t care, looked at the three girls sitting opposite, and said, "Well, I will send you home next."


    "Just don''t grin."


    "Ryan, can we go to your house to play?"


    "I want to eat a snack made by Lisa herself."


    The three girls stared at Ryan with eyes of different colors. If you disagree, we will not get out of the car.


    "Well, I''ll make a call and ask Lisa to prepare in advance."


    Ryan dialed the mobile phone and said a few words briefly. After a short while, the RV slowly drove into the manor in Beverly Hills.


    Lisa was ready for a long time, and asked the servant to set up tables and chairs in the back garden, on the white dining table, freshly baked snacks and freshly squeezed juice.


    "Ryan''s garden is so boring, there are not many flowers."


    Several people were sitting around the dining table. Taylor wiped off the crumbs of shortbread from his mouth and expressed his opinion, "The garden should be full of hydrangea..."


    "It''s like your garden?" Scarlett interrupted her, curled her lips and said, "I really don''t know, what''s so beautiful about hydrangea?"


    "That''s because you have no vision and no appreciation level." Taylor raised his head and his voice gradually increased.


    "You are talking about yourself, right?" Scarlett bit the straw, and said indifferently.


    "stop!"


    Ryan hurriedly put down the coffee cup and interrupted them, otherwise, the two men would definitely quarrel.


    "Everyone try my freshly baked cookies."


    Lisa took the servant, walked over at this moment, and put a few disks full of snacks in front of the three girls.


    "Lisa, you are the best, much better than badass Ryan." Tyler''s cheeks were already bulging, and his words were vague.


    "Honey, as long as you like it."


    Lisa rubbed her head and left.


    "Lisa''s craftsmanship is getting better and better." Since sitting down, Christine hasn''t stopped talking and is probably full now.


    "Ryan." After swallowing the food in his mouth, Tyler raised his head, his eyes rolling constantly, "I heard you are going to Moscow?"


    "Hmm~" Ryan nodded.


    "Then..." The little girl showed hopeful eyes, "Can you take me with you? I have never been so far."


    "My dear, Ryan is going to make a movie, not to play." Scarlett took a tissue, wiped her mouth, and continued, "Ah, I''m going to Montana. The grassland there is said to be very beautiful. , Maybe there are large wild hydrangeas."


    She was clearly mad at Taylor.


    "Out on location?" Ryan asked.


    "Well, my mother picked up a movie called "The Horse Whisperer" for me." Scarlett shrugged.


    Except for secretly touching, Ryan did not interfere too much in her acting career. Scarlett Johansson is clearly on the road to success in her previous life.


    "Ryan, can you take me to Moscow?" Taylor obviously didn''t give up.


    "No." Ryan refused without hesitation.


    "Why?" The little girl pouted.


    "Because your father and mother won''t agree to Hearing what Ryan said, Taylor''s head dropped. He clearly knew that his parents would not let her harm a crew.


    "Can I go?" Christine raised his hand. "Mom is in Moscow."


    "You can not!"


    Before Ryan refused, Taylor jumped off the chair, rushed over, and said, holding one of Christine''s arm, "You must stay in Los Angeles and stay with me!"


    Julius Stewart went to Russia a week ago. Recently, news came back that an agreement has been reached with Moscow. Filming on Red Square is not a problem. Russia is now in poverty, and money is the best way to persuade people. Tool of.


    After entering mid-third, most of the crew including Ryan left Los Angeles by plane and arrived in Moscow. "Remains on the Deserted Island" will begin official filming in a icy and snowy area.


    The Moscow branch of FedEx has given the utmost cooperation, from the venue to the vehicles, and even the communication with the relevant Moscow departments, they have made a lot of effort. ()

 Chapter 294： Moscow Red Square

    "Time ruthlessly governs us, whether we are healthy or sick, hungry or drunk, whether we are Russians, Americans or Martians!"


    In the huge warehouse of FedEx, Ryan''s words went from slow to fast, and the voice became louder and louder, "Time is like fire, it can kill and save people, so every FedEx office will have a clock... ¡­"


    As he said, he took a few steps and climbed up the ladder erected on the barbed wire, and pressed the button of the electronic timer, "Because we live with time as the center, we can never ignore time and never allow ourselves to commit a loss. The crime of time concept!"


    Ryan jumped off the ladder, his face full of seriousness, with the help of the makeup artist, his handsome appearance looked ten years older.


    He pointed to the timer on the wire fence and said anxiously, "It is 1:56 local time, which means that we still have 3 hours and 4 minutes, and we can end today''s mail classification!"


    By now, his words are almost roaring, "Before the company''s supervisor tried to make us unemployed, we only had 3 hours and 4 minutes!"


    His eyes became sharper and sharper, as if to strengthen his tone, and he kept making various powerful gestures.


    Then, he saw the little boy in the crowd holding FedEx Mail, and walked over in a few strides, "Hey, Nicolas, it''s nice to meet you. You just sent the first mail in your life."


    "Cut!"


    Just as Ryan led the little boy to his travel bag, Robert Zemigis yelled to stop, "Ryan, your emotions and expressions. You are still in the state of workaholic just now. You can''t use this attitude. Treat a child to help you."


    "I understand. Robert."


    Ryan sighed, rubbed his forehead and sat in one of the lounge chairs. The Russian extras who were standing listening to his words disappeared.


    It''s been a few days since I came to Moscow, and it''s been two days since the crew officially started up. Before that, the shooting went smoothly. It''s just that this long shot today is a bit troublesome.


    This is a long shot of Chuck''s character over five minutes using language, gestures, facial expressions and other behaviors. Counting this time, it has been seven times, including Ryan¡¯s problems and temporary The actor''s problem.


    Like a one-man show, long shots are often the more difficult part of shooting.


    Take the hot coffee from George. Ryan drank a big sip. Even in mid-March, the weather in Moscow can still be described as cold and freezing. The warehouse is better. When I went to the Red Square to shoot yesterday, the whistling cold wind was blowing. The face is like a knife.


    Finish the coffee. Ryan carefully thought about the performance just now, summed up the experience that caused ng every time, and thought about how to avoid it next time.


    For the role of Chuck. Both him and Robert Zemigis are very strict, and there is absolutely no tolerance for flaws in their eyes. Such a one-man show supported by a personal performance can only be improved. It is possible to succeed.


    "Come on, Ryan!"


    Robert Zemigis didn¡¯t say much. Counting "Forrest Gump", this is the second time the two have collaborated. Although the actor was Tom Hanks the previous time, he treats himself as a young man. Of alumni are very confident.


    "All departments prepare! All departments prepare!" The break time came soon, and the assistant director shouted loudly, "The sixth act of the second scene, now begins!"


    This time Ryan did not make the mistake of the last time, and the expression change was very natural. After giving the gift to the little actor named Nicola, he opened the long mail in a few clicks and took out a flash from it. The timer with red numbers was held on his shoulders.


    "Now 87 hours, 22 minutes and 17 seconds have passed. This is the time taken from Memphis in the United States to Nikolai in Russia. 87 hours is a very shameful record! This is just an egg timer! If it is anything else What? Like a check..."


    Ryan walked in front of the row of Russian extras, glaring wide-eyed, like a hair dryer, spitting storms at them continuously.


    "87 hours is too long, and it doesn''t take so long to open up the world. 87 hours are enough to overthrow a country. In such a long time, it is enough for you to make a fortune and go bankrupt..."


    "Great!"


    Robert Zemigis stood up from behind the camera, thumbs up, "Awesome, Ryan, that''s it, you start to feel."


    "Thank you, Robert!"


    Ryan sighed slowly, and quickly got rid of his impatient workaholic state, "I hope that after the filming of this film, I will not become a workaholic!"


    The filming of the entire film is almost the same as the suggestion given by Ryan, and proceeded almost in the order of the development of the story. After reading the complete script, Robert Zemigis divided the entire filming into three stages. Now the filming is on. It is the first stage. Most of the scenes will be shot with a handheld camera, and dynamic lenses will reflect the fast-paced world of the protagonist Chuck.


    "Perhaps we can use a line in the movie, this stage is a race against time." Robert Zemigis once said to Ryan.


    The warehouse shot quickly ended. Chapter 299 was around the Red Square, just to witness the superstar''s demeanor.


    Although he hadn''t had a good impression of this country for two lifetimes, Ryan waved to them from time to time, and occasionally met a few fans'' requests for autographs or group photos that were not too excessive.


    Of course, the premise of all this is that they will not affect the work progress of the crew.


    "Unexpectedly, the country that was able to compete with the entire Western world in the past has now turned into this look."


    During the break, Julius Stewart was photographing Lenin Cemetery not far away, while talking about emotions or sarcasm.


    She has been here for a long time and has dealt with the Russian authorities many times. Naturally, she knows what they have become now.


    "If it weren''t like this, how could we easily close the red square to shoot." Ryan leaned in front of the camera and asked Jules to take a photo with her figure.


    "You know, Ryan." Jules pressed the shutter continuously and said in a low voice, "As long as they are willing to give money, those people will even dare to sell the country."


    "Can you find the way?" Ryan squeezed his chin, obviously making a ghost.


    "What?" Jules didn''t understand what he wanted to do.


    Ryan walked up to Julius, and only two people could hear what he said, "Trying to find a way to get two Faberge eggs, money is not a problem."


    Although he has no interest in antiques and artworks, it should be a good idea to get two to make Nicole and Natalie happy.


    "God, Ryan." Jules couldn''t help but patted his forehead with one hand. "That''s Russia''s national treasure."


    "Forget it if you are embarrassed." Ryan said indifferently.


    "I''ll try something."


    It didn''t take long for Ryan to forget about this. He put all his energy into the performance. After all, this is the Red Square. It is impossible to close it for too long. The crew must pay close attention to it.


    In front of the camera, trucks spitting out FedEx were passing by. The leading one had not stopped, Ryan pushed the door and jumped off, tightening the warm hat and red down overalls on his head, and strode. Arrived behind a stuck truck.


    He pointed to the open space in front of the snowdrift and said anxiously, "Hurry up! Hurry up! It''s here, put the table here, we sort the mail in the truck!"


    "Quickly, unload the cargo, move faster, we are tight!" Ryan commanded, walked to the set table, and retaken the shot, "Everyone lined up in two rows, one to the airport, one to Moscow ,fast!"


    Like a perpetual motion machine that never stops spinning, Ryan quickly walked around to the other side of the table and pointed to the truck on the opposite side, "French, Far East, Middle East, Memphis, where the goods are loaded, and the rest are there!"


    As he said, he looked back at the timer in the little boy''s hand, "Nicolas, hurry up! Let me take a look. There are four minutes left, speed up, hurry up..."


    "Nikolatick! Tick! Get the timer and let''s go!"


    The last shot of the Red Square filming passed smoothly. Perhaps it was the emotions of Chuck played by Ryan that spread to the crew, or maybe it was because he wanted to leave this cold place earlier and return to his warm hometown. The staff quickly cleaned up the crew. Of various equipment.


    Their speed and efficiency are about to catch up with Steven Spielberg''s dedicated team.


    Just as the Russian media was still speculating whether Ryan¡¯s new play would be like "Titanic", when it was taken from a real event in his country, the crew only took a week to complete all related filming. The scene, and then can''t wait to leave Moscow and return to North America.


    However, the location where the crew arrived was not the City of Angels, but Memphis, the headquarters of FedEx.


    Although many media gathered in this city in Tennessee, Ryan left all relevant matters to the spokesperson of the crew to deal with, and he did not want to distract himself from anything during the filming.


    Here, Ryan also met the other main actor in the movie, Chuck''s girlfriend, who was still an acquaintance who played her. ()

 Chapter 295： suspense

    The film¡¯s location in Memphis was almost concentrated on the FedEx transit airport, which is called one of the busiest cargo airports in the world. In order not to interfere with FedEx¡¯s normal cargo operations, most of the filming of the film crew was selected at the airport. At the moment, the progress is inevitably a bit fragmented.


    Fortunately, there are not too many clips here. Ryan can also use his spare time to interact with the female partner in the movie as much as possible, looking for the feeling of a lover.


    In the previous life, the role that belonged to Helen Hunter left a very deep impression despite not having many scenes.


    However, since the age of the male protagonist has become younger, the female protagonist can naturally not go to Helen Hunter anymore.


    Robert Zemigis and Jules Stewart held a small audition for this role, and the candidate for it was the Australian actress who was not familiar with Ryan in her previous life, but she only met through Nicole in this life. Omi Watts.


    Perhaps the actress has been a little bit, after all, Naomi Watts has not yet had a heavyweight role on the big screen. As the heroine, "Peerless Tribulation" is currently undergoing final post-production and will only be available in the summer. Released.


    As the filming progress is divided into sections, FedEx has prepared several lounges of different sizes for the crew in the airport building, and several staff will accompany the whole process and provide necessary help at any time. In these respects , Ryan¡¯s appeal and the influence of "Titanic" are unknowingly undergoing fermentation.


    In a lounge, Ryan and Naomi Watts had just finished their confrontation and were discussing each other''s roles.


    "Kelly always loved Chuck, even if he disappeared from her life for a few years, but she chose family and responsibility in the end." Naomi Watts closed the script and leaned back in her chair. Said seriously. "This is a woman with delicate emotions, not many scenes, but it''s worth digging."


    Ryan shrugged. No comment, it is necessary to write the plot of the movie in this way. If you change to the heroine and abandon her husband and abandon her, it would be a disaster.


    "Nami, your acting is better than I thought." Ryan changed the subject.


    This is the truth. In the several shots that have been taken, the performance of the other party has exceeded expectations. Originally, he thought this Australian woman would be a beautiful female vase.


    "Hollywood is the best place to temper people." Naomi Watts smiled, what it was like. I am afraid that only she can know.


    After several years of ups and downs in Hollywood, she had the experience of the heroine of "Peerless Tribulation", which made her fully aware of the importance of connections and networks before the role was auditioned. In the name of vacation, he went back to Australia, and made a special trip to explore the crew of The Matrix.


    The light of the sky finally dissipated, and the night fell to Memphis again. The wide airport was brightly lit, and cargo planes painted with FedEx logos. It is constantly taking off and landing and loading cargo, including giants such as McDonnell Douglas, Boeing and Airbus.


    In a remote corner, under the coordination of the airport staff, the crew set up various equipment to serve as the props of the car. Has stopped not far.


    "Ryan, and Nami..."


    After seeing Robert Zemigis''s questioning eyes, Ryan made an ok gesture to him.


    "The eleventh scene, the second act now begins!"


    The black car retreated quickly and suddenly stopped not far from an airplane. Chuck, played by Ryan, raised **** to the guard and said anxiously, "Two minutes, I only need two minutes, thank you !"


    "Merry Christmas!"


    He took a small gift box from his girlfriend and looked at Kelly, who played Naomi Watts in the co-pilot, "I''m afraid you won''t give me Christmas presents."


    In the voice of the other party¡¯s laughter, Chuck anxiously wanted to open the gift box, but found that the ribbon that wrapped the gift box was unusually strong, "What is this? Is it a fishing line for sharks, dear?"


    "Use this." Kelly hurriedly handed over a small knife.


    "Thank you!"


    Just like his own character, Chuck opened the gift box with just a few strokes, which was an old-fashioned pocket watch, "Oh, God, this is the best gift."


    "My grandfather used it on the South Pacific before." Kelly just explained, Chuck opened his pocket watch eagerly, and inside was the photo of the other person, "I remember, this was taken by me, and I love you the most. Photos."


    "Do you know what I would do?" He glanced at his girlfriend and fiddled with the pocket watch. "I will keep it in Memphis time. Oh, by the way, honey, you haven''t said my gift to you yet how is it."


    "Notebook?" Kelly took the notepad and gently kissed its cover. "I''m very happy..."


    "Cut!"


    Robert Zemigis called to stop at this time, strode to the side of the car, and said, leaning on the door of the car, "Nami, and Ryan, your interaction is more flexible, don''t stick to the script."


    "Yes." Ryan nodded while resting his chin.


    "I tried my best." Naomi Watts bit her lower lip lightly.


    "Okay, let''s do it again and try to see how it works."


    After giving an encouraging gesture to the two people in the car, Robert Zemigis sat back behind the camera.


    During the first stage of the shooting, there were not many Memphis shots. The crew stayed here for less than a week before returning to Los Angeles. The following plots, including the plane crash, will be transferred to the studio for shooting.


    Although there is no pre-publicity for the time being, the news of Ryan¡¯s new filming inevitably spread. After all, he is definitely the center of the American entertainment circle for more than half a year, and his every move has attracted the attention of countless eyeballs. .


    A large number of reporters gathered outside Universal Studios, hoping to get the latest news about the film, especially the subject matter and content. What''s more, the Oscars ceremony is right in front of you, whether it is Ryan or "Titanic". The central point of this event.


    On the first day after entering late March, good news came again. The global box office of "Titanic" officially broke through the 2 billion U.S. dollar mark, marking a good start for the upcoming Oscars.


    "Ryan, if there is no accident, we will definitely create a miracle on the Oscar this time."


    Leaving the set and returning home in the car, Ryan received a call from Harvey Weinstein, and the big fat man was full of confidence.


    "Before the final result is announced, everything is still variable." Ryan maintained his usual caution.


    After hanging up the phone, Ryan sighed. Since the previous Oscars would bow to the one billion dollar box office and the current life is facing two billion dollars, it is not difficult to guess what choice they will make.


    As long as the honors once won, after the Oscars ceremony, "Titanic" is bound to usher in a huge box office rebound, once again set off a global boom.


    Of course, Ryan is more concerned about Nicole''s best actress than the "Titanic" whose results are getting clearer.


    Although there is a lack of heavyweight competitors, it is a big question whether the college will award one of the best actor and actress to an actor from Australia for two consecutive years. Even if Nicole was born in Hawaii, she had already applied. Arrived with American citizenship.


    Thinking of Nicole, Ryan couldn''t help frowning, and it was almost time for the awards ceremony. She hadn''t come back yet. She didn''t know what she was thinking about. Could it be that she was addicted to the wire sling?


    It seems that I will call her to remind her at night.


    After returning home and greeted Lisa, Ryan walked up to the second floor and came to his room. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a faint and very familiar scent, which was unique to someone.


    "Nicole..." Ryan''s eyes lit up.


    As if he was a guide from his soul, he quickly turned his head back, Nicole Kidman was leaning on the wall behind the door, arms around his chest, looking at him with a sweet smile, in his light blue eyes, it seemed that There are also flames flickering.


    The two of them did not speak, staring closely at each other''s eyes. The next moment they were already entangled in one place. Pieces of clothing, like fallen leaves blown away by the wind, flew onto the carpet of the room.


    This is an extremely fierce war. The heavy breathing of men and the excited screams of women filled every corner of the room, but men and women were moving wildly, and there was no verbal communication. Only eyes and gestures were enough. They understand each other''s thoughts.


    Any words are superfluous. At this time, only the most primitive exercises of men and women can vent the hormones accumulated over a long period of time, and only the floating feeling of rushing to the clouds can one realize each other''s nostalgia.


    "Just like that, hold me, don''t separate."


    After a long time, the two were stacked together and sat on the same single sofa. Nicole squinted and leaned on Ryan''s shoulder, "Stop moving, I''m tired."


    Turning his head and kissing Nicole''s ear Ryan gently stroked her cheek, which was full of tiredness after extreme excitement.


    "My dear, when did you come back and why didn''t you notify me."


    "I arrived at noon." With her fine teeth slowly rubbing her broad shoulders, Nicole seemed to be obsessed with this feeling, "I want to surprise you."


    "You are getting more and more naughty."


    I don''t know if Ryan is talking about Nicole''s surprise, or her two rows of white teeth that are tight and loose.


    "Oscar is coming soon, I always have to come back..."


    Before Nicole finished speaking, her eyes widened suddenly, with a rare weakness, "Ryan, I''m exhausted, I just went through a long journey..."


    Oscar finally ushered in its 70th birthday. This awards ceremony was held at the Los Angeles Shrine Grand Theatre. Because of the suspense brought by "Titanic", it was extremely eye-catching, this epic at sea, At the awards ceremony, will you ride the wind and waves like the box office numbers, or will you encounter the disaster like the real ship? ()

 Chapter 296： 70th Oscar One

    Please remember the website of this site: please post it to your qq group Weibo/WeChat forum to recommend the promotion introduction!


    The Oscar is not only the end of the film awards season, but also the highest peak. At this time of the year, the focus of the media industry in the United States will shift to the City of Angels. As Hollywood movies have captured one market after another, it is not only of concern to Americans. The focus can still affect the entire Western world and even every corner of the world.


    On March 23, the 70th Oscar Awards ceremony officially kicked off.


    In front of the magnificent Los Angeles Temple Theater, there are four huge models of Oscar statues, which were specially made by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to commemorate Oscar''s 70th birthday.


    For this event, the academy spent a huge amount of money. On the Walk of Fame in front of the Oscars, the red carpet was only 277 feet long. In addition, they also invited more than two thousand VIPs to attend the awards ceremony, almost Hollywood The celebrities are caught in one go.


    In addition to the lucky audience who can enter the Grand Theater of the Temple, countless movie fans gathered in the square outside the door. In order to see the beauty of the movie stars when they entered, many people stayed out for two nights, only to be in the theater. The front terrace occupies a good position.


    In the past, movie fans often had different support objects, but this time is different. More than half of the movie fans held up the poster of "Titanic" and Ryan Jenkins in it, almost turning the outdoor platform into Big ship in the ocean.


    The most exaggerated thing is that on the largest left stage, hundreds of fans completed the assembly work swiftly. A large ship model made of cardboard, nearly 30 feet long, instantly attracted everyone¡¯s attention. These chest prints Fans who wear the word''r Yan'' seem to want to express the choice of ordinary fans to the college in this way.


    When it was just getting dark, Ryan''s RV arrived near the red carpet entrance, waiting for the coordination of the on-site staff.


    However, it was no longer Nicole Kidman sitting next to him. But Kate Winslet in a dark green evening dress.


    On the red carpet in front, Nicole was walking towards the theater with his movie partner Albert Finney.


    "Don''t be nervous, Kate." The two can be familiar friends. Ryan''s words are naturally not so polite. "You don''t have a chance to take the golden man of the best actress."


    "Ryan, should I thank you?" Kate Winslet''s nose was almost crooked. Is there such a blow? "Thank you for your comfort in advance."


    "You''re welcome." Ryan''s words made Winslet laugh again, "You will take the gold man, but not today."


    By the way, what is Kate Winslet''s best actress movie called? Ryan thought for a while, but his impression was very vague.


    The work of the organizing committee. It is as precise as a Hollywood assembly line. Every once in a while, there is always a luxury car parked in front of the red carpet, and a star or celebrity walks out of it, causing fans to scream loudly.


    It seems that the organizing committee deliberately arranged, Ryan found that since Nicole walked on the red carpet. The next ones appearing above are almost all the cast and crew of "Titanic", regardless of whether they won or not, the huge number of people alone compares other crews.


    When James Cameron and Linda Hamilton walked the middle section of the red carpet hand in hand, Ryan''s car finally stopped in front of the red carpet, and the staff immediately stepped forward and opened the door.


    "Please, dear sister Ruth."


    After getting out of the car. In the dazzling flash, Ryan turned around and stretched out his hand.


    "Thank you, Mr. Dawson!"


    Kate Winslet put his hand on Ryan''s hand, and under his guidance, for the first time as the winner of the Best Actress nomination, he walked onto the Oscar red carpet.


    Jack and Ruth appeared together on the red carpet, immediately detonating the atmosphere. The shouts from the fans on both sides can only be described as earth-shattering. It is the photographers who are crazier than the fans, who keep pressing the shutter. Can''t wait to record every movement of that man.


    If it weren''t for the security guards, these guys could even rush to the red carpet.


    Now that I have embarked on the red carpet, some routine activities are definitely indispensable, such as selectively signing autographs for fans.


    After temporarily separating from Kate Winslet, Ryan walked on the red carpet, took the fountain pen handed by the fans, and quickly scratched his name on the various posters in front of him.


    "Ryan, if you can''t take the best actor, we will boycott Oscars in the future!"


    Accompanying the reporter''s flash, it is always fanatic or even without any rational support.


    ""Titanic" will definitely win a big victory, we are waiting to celebrate for you!"


    "You will definitely set a new record, we believe this..."


    These people at the beginning were still sane. As more and more female fans poured in, Ryan clearly felt that some girls¡¯ hands were aimed at the sensitive parts of their bodies, and they immediately handed the fountain pen back to the red. carpet.


    Young female star chasers are the craziest and scariest fans. Ryan doesn''t want a straight dress to become a crumpled rag.


    "You are really popular with women." Kate Winslet took his arm again, joking in a low voice, "I didn''t pursue you when I got up. It was a very wrong choice."


    "You still have a chance to redeem this mistake." Ryan''s is also a joke.


    "Forget it, I don''t want to be a public enemy to so many girls."


    Unknowingly, the two people have already walked into the interview area at the end of the red carpet. There is a lot of people here, and countless reporters are surrounded by the members of the "Titanic" crew, asking for something hoarsely, as if these people can advance. Knowing the attribution of the award is the same.


    Billy Zane, who had a shaved head, and Jon Landau, who was a filmmaker, were chatting in the face of live TV footage. James Cameron and Linda Hamilton had long been caught by reporters. The ocean was flooded, and even the oldest Gloria Stewart was being baptized with microphones and tape recorders.


    Regardless of the questions asked by the reporter or the answers of the crew, they all cannot do without a name-"Titanic"!


    Originally, Ryan wanted to take a few steps and walk directly into the theater, but the reporter from the broadcast party had noticed him a long time ago and quickly stopped in front of him.


    "Ryan, how many golden men do you think "Titanic" can get?"


    "Always get a few." Ryan responded casually. "I believe the crew will not leave empty-handed."


    "May I ask, you and Winslet sister..." The other party pointed to Kate Winslet who was interviewing other reporters, and asked very gossiping, "You walked on the red carpet together, are you dating?"


    "Kate and I are just friends, we walk the red carpet together because we are partners in the movie."


    After that, Ryan didn''t bother to talk to the gossip reporter, and walked towards the theater without looking back.


    His departure did not reduce the media''s enthusiasm for "Titanic". No matter what, this great movie has already created too many miracles. Even if it suffers a heavy blow at the subsequent Oscars, it will still be entertaining. Center point.


    Moreover, they are all people who deal with the film industry all the year round. They can faintly guess some of the academy''s thoughts. The global box office of 2 billion dollars is enough to make most of the judges bow their heads.


    Entering the lobby of the theater, Ryan walked towards his seat and watched the surroundings quietly. This Oscar is definitely the most concentrated gathering of the world¡¯s top film stars today, including dozens of them. The actor and queen who has won an Oscar.


    It is a pity that he has no interest in the golden age of Hollywood. The stars he knows of that era are limited to a limited number of stars such as two Hepburn.


    In this respect, Ryan can be regarded as an anomaly in Hollywood, because he doesn''t like nostalgia at all.


    Along the way, people familiar or strangers greeted him one after another. Now anyone who is not blind or stupid can come up with a brand-new Hollywood nobleman who is climbing towards the top of the entertainment circle at an incredible speed.


    This is a real world and a real circle. Money and honor are the most awe-inspiring things.


    "Hi, Chris, how does Oscar feel?"


    In the back row of his seats are the main members of the Blue Sky Studio, who won the nomination for the best animated short film.


    "Very good, it would be even better if you can take the gold man." Chris Witch was obviously very happy.


    After a brief chat with him, Ryan walked to the seat, and Nicole next to him was chatting with the people around him, as if he was too lazy to give him a look.


    Women really hold grudges! After sitting down, Ryan thought helplessly, not at all of the consciousness that he had almost tossed the Australian girl these days.


    "My best actress, have you thought about your acceptance speech?"


    A few minutes later, Nicole finally turned her head, and a little bit of resentment was in her light blue eyes, "I will definitely thank you, Ryan!"


    After that, the two rows of silvery white teeth have been rubbed back and forth a few timesWhat are you...what are you doing? "


    James Cameron and Linda Hamilton walked over at this time, their seats next to Ryan.


    "Congratulations to Ni in advance for getting the best actress." Ryan shrugged casually, and stretched out his hand to Cameron. "And you, Mr. Best Director!"


    "Well, Ryan, if I can win the prize, I will thank you first."


    Despite what he said, James Cameron was extremely confident, and his $2 billion box office gave him enough confidence and confidence.


    "So, are you ready for your acceptance speech?"


    "of course!"


    "Jim, I think you should prepare a few unique acceptance speeches." Your support from Dingtianju dtxsj is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please read the first an.

    Please remember the website of this site: please post it to your qq group Weibo/WeChat forum to recommend the promotion introduction!


    "The academy really spent a lot of effort. *Remember ww;om* for a second"


    The award ceremony had just begun, and Ryan whispered in Nicole''s ear.


    After waiting for the Oscar for seventy years, he finally has his own theme song. With the performance of the song called "Oscar Prelude", the bow of the Titanic slowly rises from the stage, like a split wind It''s like cutting the waves, but it''s not Jack and Ruth standing on the bow, but Billy Christo.


    Unlike the previous ones, Billy Christo has lost a lot of nonsense and ridicule, and quickly turned to the topic. Probably the director in charge of this Oscar also understands that the time delay is too long, and it is precisely because the ratings of the Oscar awards ceremony are declining. One of the main reasons.


    Of course, this guy will not give up his signature, connect the films nominated for best picture, and sing a paragraph, which is his masterpiece, and the focus of this ridicule is naturally on the body of "Titanic".


    "This is a wonderful night for the Oscars. Everyone is seated and returned to the big boat. The owner of that boat is the two biggest idiots in Hollywood. They exchanged 300 million US dollars for 2 billion US dollars. Who has ever seen this? A idiot? Many people are looking forward to it''s downgrade, so as to leave a gap for later people to surpass. I think people should take off their hats to pay tribute to this ship, to the propeller, to the iceberg, to the movie star, to the director Cameron, Finally, there are Jack Dawson and Ryan Jenkins..."


    It¡¯s very rare. Billy Christo¡¯s words were stubborn. He only sang for just five minutes, and then simply ridiculed Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, a pair of well-known good friends, then gave up the stage. .


    Robert Lem, the current chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, delivered a brief opening speech, focusing on reviewing the seventy-year glorious history of Oscars, and at the same time announcing the academy''s determination to continue to reform attempts in the coming years.


    "it has started!"


    After Edward Norton stepped onto the stage, Nicole quietly shook Ryan''s hand.


    At the same time, everyone on the "Titanic" crew subconsciously held their breath, because the best supporting actress was about to be awarded, and Gloria Stewart won the nomination for the performance of Elder Ruth.


    "Gloria Stewart''s "Titanic" was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Minnie Driver''s "Mind Catcher", Kim Basinger''s "L.A. Confidential"..."


    Ryan glanced at Gloria Stewart with a leisurely look. Her chances of winning are unlimited. According to normal rules, the academy would not give any performance awards to "Titanic". This is the so-called balance and distribution. pork.


    Kim Basinger is so smart that her role can be nominated for best actress. However, she took the initiative to choose a supporting actress, thus avoiding Nicole, the most powerful competitor.


    Furthermore, the overall atmosphere in Hollywood is nostalgic, and the time in the "L.A. Confidential" movie is the so-called golden age of Hollywood.


    "The winner of the best supporting actress is... Kim Basinger''s "L.A. Confidential", congratulations!"


    As Edward Norton read the final answer, the crew of "L.A. Confidential" sitting not far away cheered. One after another stood up to celebrate this victory.


    The crew of "Titanic" fell into a short silence, and many people even felt dangerous. Will their crew become another tragic "Salvation of Shawshank"?


    Not only the people on Ryan''s side, but many people in the Shrine Grand Theater have this kind of thought, and they all cast their eyes on this side, and they are puzzled. There is sympathy and gloat.


    Unlucky for that big ship and Ryan Jenkins with boundless scenery, but a rare scene!


    Even many people in the independent film industry curse in their hearts that they shouldn''t take a single award for this film, so that they can be worthy of rigorous film art.


    After a short silence, Ryan became the first person nearby to clap his palms. Under his leadership, the applause around him gradually became enthusiastic.


    "Don''t worry. We still have fifteen nominations."


    Ryan''s words seemed to be listening to himself, but also to the people around him.


    "I''ve never worried about it." James Cameron had a tacit understanding. "It''s a good thing for us to lose the performance award."


    The overall atmosphere in Hollywood is nostalgic. The nine nominations for "L.A. Confidential" are indeed "Titanic"''s biggest competitor, but so what?


    Encountered this unprecedented huge ship. Other movies can only be supporting roles, they can only be tragedies!


    Ryan never doubted this!


    In some people, such as Michael Eisner sitting in the VIP seat at the back. Looking forward to the complete sinking of Ryan and "Titanic", when they become Oscar''s accompany runners, another award winner was announced.


    "The golden man with the best costume design belongs to..."


    A blonde Elizabeth Sue opened the envelope and completely kicked off the storm, "Titanic, Deborah Lynn Scott!"


    The melody of "My Heart Is Eternal" played for the first time. Ryan stood up and shook his fist, and then gave a high-five to James Cameron. Deborah Lynn Scott was excited over there. Hug everyone.


    "Congratulations, Deborah, you did a great job!"


    "Thank you, Ryan!"


    After calming down his emotions, Deborah stepped onto the stage, took the golden man from Elizabeth Sue, stood in front of the microphone, and made the first acceptance speech from the crew of "Titanic".


    "Thank you Oscar judges and the Academy for awarding me this award! I never thought that I would have participated in such a great job, nor did I think that I would become a participant in a great history..."


    "I''ll be away for a while, dear."


    Nicole got up and walked towards the backstage through a special channel. I don''t know if it was to attract attention. The organizing committee actually asked her to introduce the "Titanic" nominated for best picture.


    The nominated film related to Ryan is not only this movie, but also the animated short film "Bunny Bonnie" by Blue Sky Studios and "Eileen Brockovich".


    Damn it!


    James Cameron frowned. Although it was not his movie that he lost, he still felt sorry for his friendship with Ryan and Nicole.


    "L.A. Confidential" seems to have become the nemesis of Jenkins Pictures. In the best supporting actor, Guy Pierce defeated Albert Fanny and once again snatched a golden man from Ryan.


    Even though he didn''t care in his heart, Ryan still comforted the old actor in a low voice. Frankly speaking, he might not lose if he was willing to put effort into public relations.


    However, the whole movie is for Nicole and Ryan does not want any accidents.


    Two consecutive times, Jenkins Pictures lost to the hands of "L.A. Confidential", which seems to be a very bad omen.


    "Titanic" Tom Johnson, Gary Summers, Mark Urano, "Air Force One" Paul Mather, "L.A. Confidential" Andy Nelson, Anna Belmore..."


    The two sides soon ushered in another chance for a direct collision. Cameron Diaz grinned and read the final winner, "The best sound effect is... "Titanic"!"


    "Yes!"


    Ryan clearly heard many people yelling in low voices around him, and the whole crew was plunged into joy. This was the second golden figure tonight, and it broke the previous subtle psychological suggestion.


    As if breaking the invisible bondage, "Titanic" was out of control. It won the best sound editing, best visual effects, and best original soundtrack three gold figures one after another. In terms of technical awards, it gradually showed The trend of sweeping.


    Of course, it¡¯s not just "Titanic" that is working hard. When Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, a good friend of mine, stand on the stage and pronounce the name of "Bunny Bonnie", Ryan is under his name. The blue sky studio of China has won the golden man of the best animated short film.


    Counting the best visual effects obtained together, the Blue Sky Studio has already taken two golden men tonight. Chris Wedge''s mouth is almost smiling. Who can think of a studio that was not as good as an ugly duck a few years ago , Even has the industry''s top technology.


    Sitting in the VIP table, Michael Eisner was expressionless, not happy or angry, but he didn''t want to admit that Ryan Jenkins''s vision has long been recognized as a fact in Hollywood.


    "It''s not easy to stand on the Oscar stage. Why am I not the one to receive the award?"


    Drew Barrymore''s face was filled with an enthusiastic smile, "When I read the final answer, there will definitely be disappointments, but it is a great honor to be nominated."


    "Well, the one who won the 70th Oscar for Best Make-up Award is..."


    Listening to Drew''s award, Ryan''s hand clenched unconsciously, and Nicole quickly noticed his changes and came over strangely.


    "Is this award important?" Nicole was puzzled.


    "Very important!" Ryan didn''t explain much.


    Want to break the record of eleven awards in a single session The best makeup award lost in the previous life is very important. For this reason, Ryan did not even let the crew of "Men in Black" declare any nomination, otherwise, There is definitely no suspense about the award.


    Drew Barrymore opened the envelope and took out the card, "Congratulations to my friend, congratulations to "Titanic", congratulations to Greg Cannon and Tina Sean!"


    The melody of "My Heart Is Eternal" played again, and the surroundings were boiling again, Ryan also clapped his palms hard, and the momentum of the big ship was almost unstoppable.


    As long as there are no accidents, the overall situation is set!


    While Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, he told Nicole that the most critical moment is coming, because the next award is for the best actress!


    This year¡¯s Oscars were full of changes. The best actor and actress was not placed at the end of the awards ceremony, but moved to the front. After Billy Christo had a long talk, Jeff, the winner of the last best actor Lee Rush stepped onto the stage. This actor from Australia was the guest of honor for best actress.

 Chapter 298： 70th Oscar III

    In order to ensure the best actress as much as possible, whether it is Ryan, Nicole, or the team behind them, a lot of work has been done.


    Putting Nicole''s own efforts and Harvey Weinstein''s public relations aside, just talk about Ryan''s hands and feet secretly, this world may only be known to him.


    Because of "Titanic" and James Cameron, after entering the Internet age in his previous life, he has carefully read the details of this awards ceremony. The female lead of "Perfect" Helen Hunt is a very strong competitor. , And she also has the advantage of being an authentic American. Nicole ran into her, and the win was not big.


    Therefore, Ryan published the general content of the film in advance, and rejected James Brooks'' request for adaptation. The film project was delayed until the end of last year in order to eliminate the strongest opponent.


    Even if he and Harvey Weinstein have done what they are doing, they are still only 60 to 70% certain. There are too many uncontrollable factors in the Oscar selection, such as nationality. Sometimes foreigners are too big. Obstacles can sometimes become a huge advantage.


    To win a prize, a little luck is an essential factor.


    Despite being full of confidence in her performance in "Eileen Brookwich", Nicole still seemed a little nervous, holding Ryan''s hand tighter and tighter.


    "Relax, dear, no one can take away what belongs to you!" Ryan murmured comfortingly.


    "Yes, no one who belongs to me can take it away!" Nicole''s confident words sounded something else.


    On the stage, Jeffrey Rush was introducing the nominees, "Let¡¯s see who was nominated for Best Actress. Nicole Kidman "Eileen Brockwich", Kate? Winslet "Titanic", Judy Dench "Mrs. Brown", Helena Carter "The Wings of the Pigeon", Julie Gisdie "Sunset"!"


    Listening to these names, Ryan''s head turned quickly, and Kate Winslet didn''t need to think about it. It is the first time to nominate the best actress, and the nominated film is "Titanic". The odds of winning the prize are almost zero. Helena Carter and Julie Gisdie, regardless of seniority or fame, are worse than Nicole. Too far, the only threat is Judy Dench.


    Judy Dench not only has the advantage of British nationality, but he is also a veteran Hollywood actor. It is hard to say that the academy will not give her the golden figure. After all, Nicole is young and beautiful, so she can wait a few years.


    Ryan can think of this, and Nicole can naturally think of it. She bit her lower lip gently, waiting for Jeffrey Rush, who is also the Australian gang, to announce the final answer.


    "We will definitely win!"


    Ryan was full of confidence from the beginning when he entered Hollywood. He was planning this day. This was his promise to Nicole and his...compensation.


    Jeffrey Rush slowly opened the envelope. Quickly found the location of Nicole, showing an inexplicable smile.


    "The best actress of this year is... Nicole Kidman, "Eileen Brockovich"!"


    "Yes!"


    Ryan waved his arms heavily and jumped up from his seat. The excitement on his face was beyond words, and he was even more excited than winning the prize!


    "Nicole, we won!"


    The Australian girl was still sitting in a daze, as if she couldn''t believe that she had won the actor''s highest honor, until Ryan gently pulled her down before she stood up. "Is it me, Ryan? Are you sure it''s me?"


    "I''m sure, very sure!"


    Can not help but say. Ryan gave her a celebratory hug, "Honey, don''t make them wait!"


    Nicole finally burst into a brilliant smile. After embracing and celebrating with everyone around him, he walked towards the stage. The audience had already stood up and applauded, and countless eyes watched Nicole ascend to the top.


    "Congratulations, Nicole!"


    "Thank you!"


    After receiving the Golden Man handed by Jeffrey Rush, Nicole made a somewhat exaggerated exhalation and stood in front of the microphone, "As an actor, I have always dreamed of such a day, but this day Is it really here? I''m not dreaming, am I?"


    Listening to Nicole''s somewhat incoherent words, Ryan was the first to slap his palms, and then applauded like a tide, proving that the glamorous girls on the stage are not dreaming.


    "I prepared a lot of acceptance speeches in advance, but when the Little Golden Man of Best Actress got in my hands, I realized that all the things I had prepared were forgotten. Well, thank the judges for their recognition of me, and thank my sister Anthony. Ya, thanks to Director Soderbergh, thanks to Ms. Irene Brockovich, thanks to everyone on the crew, thanks to my agent Pat, and thanks to Taylor, your phone call last night brought me good luck!"


    Nicole slowly rolled her eyes, and her light blue eyes finally landed on the face carved in the bottom of her heart. In those bright eyes like a clear sky after rain, there was no less excitement and excitement than her own.


    "I put the person I want to thank the most. It was you who created one character after another for me, and wrote one script after another. Without your help, there would be no me who I am the most. More than half of the little golden man of the beautiful heroine should belong to you."


    "Others are saying that Nicole Kidman taught a genius. In fact, I am the lucky one! You will always be my favorite person! When I met you on the Avenue of Stars, it was me. The most flaunting and proud thing in life..."


    Nicole''s voice gradually choked up. In the eyes of others, the love she was talking about was the love of siblings. Only Ryan and she understood that it contained too much.


    When Nicole walked off the stage and returned to her side, Ryan took the initiative to give her a hug. If she didn¡¯t want to make a fork, the congratulatory hug would only be a touch, and she could not vent the rippling between the two enthusiasm.


    Not only Ryan, just like before going on stage, Nicole hugged and celebrated with her acquaintances one by one.


    "Let me see what''s different about the Golden Man of Best Actress." After Nicole sat down, Ryan took the trophy representing the highest honor from her.


    "Ryan." Nicole''s voice was extremely low, so low that only two people could hear it.


    "What''s the matter, dear?" Ryan''s eyes swept across Nicole''s, keenly aware of the enthusiasm hidden in the deepest place that could burn everything away.


    "I''m emotional."


    The extremely low voice was full of flames, "I want to go home!"


    Ryan rolled his eyes secretly, ignored the excited woman, and turned his attention to the continuing award ceremony.


    "Titanic" has been unstoppable, and the melody of "My Heart Is Eternal" played on the stage time and time again. The best editing, best photography, and best art direction three statuettes were also brought back by the crew.


    So far, "Titanic" has won nine statuettes, and it is getting closer and closer to the record of "Ben Xu".


    Finally, it was Ryan''s turn to be nominated for the best original screenplay.


    ""Titanic" Ryan Jenkins, "Deconstructing Lovers" Woody Allen, "Six Heroes of the Pig" Simon Beaufrey, "Mind Catcher" Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, "Eileen Brockovich" Ryan Jenkins."


    Ryan received two nominations for this award. According to common sense, he is highly likely to receive the award. People around him also think so. If "Titanic" can win this award, plus almost 90% of the latter. The grasp of "My Heart Is Eternal" will at least tie the award record of "Ben Xu".


    However, the uncontrollability of Oscars beyond manpower and the characteristics of large-scale awards are fully revealed in this award.


    "Congratulations to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, it is "Mind Catcher" that won the best original screenplay!"


    A faint sigh was heard around, although Ryan was a little disappointed in anticipating this possibility. Fortunately, there are still best director, best film and best original song below.


    As for the best actor? I''m afraid he is the one with the lowest chance of winning among all nominees.


    Just as Ryan had imagined, because he eliminated "Perfectly" ahead of time, the honor of best actor fell on Jane Fonda''s younger brother and veteran movie star Peter Fonda.


    This is regarded as a free gift from Ryan, after all, no one would know this.


    "There will be opportunities in the future."


    Looking at the old man on the stage who gave his acceptance speech, Nicole patted his arm comfortingly, "You will stand on it someday."


    "And that day is not far away." Ryan cooperated with a playful smile.


    Of the four individual nominations, three were lost in a short period of time. UU reading will definitely bring disappointment to others. Ryan has a good mentality and knows where the focus of this year is and what he should strive for. , Just like Nicole said, his little golden man will have opportunities in the future.


    Besides, this time I should not go home empty-handed.


    There is no doubt that among the best original songs, "My Heart Is Eternal" occupies an overwhelming advantage. If this award is given to other songs, the fairness and justice of the Oscar will definitely be strongly questioned, even if it is only relative fairness and justice.


    Standing on the stage, Ryan took over his second best original song from Jennifer Lopez. Who would have thought that an actor who wants to win a performance award would always get other miscellaneous Little Golden Man, I have to say that things in the world are sometimes more tortuous than movies.


    "Thank you for the judges'' recognition of me. Thank you Celine for the perfect interpretation of this song. This is the tenth statuette of "Titanic". If you are a little grateful, you can say it later and I will be back!"


    After speaking, Ryan strode off the stage.


    He is the producer of "Titanic", if this movie can get the best picture, he will definitely be on the stage again! ()

 Chapter 299： 70th Oscar IV

    The awards ceremony is gradually coming to an end. Only the best director and the best film have not been awarded. Although "Titanic" won ten statuettes and is an absolute winner, it lost the most important best female. Supporting actor, best actress and best actor, if you get nothing in these two awards, no amount of technical awards can make up for it.


    "Titanic" as long as it takes another figurine will tie the "Benxu" award record, if the last two awards are included in the bag, it will become the first in Oscar history.


    Everyone knows this very well. The award ceremony has entered the most competitive stage. Everyone around Ryan, including James Cameron and Nicole Kidman, clenched their fists subconsciously. Some people still muttered words, seeming to beg for God''s blessing.


    As the main competitor, the crew of "L.A. Confidential" is not much better. In addition to winning the best supporting actor and actress, as long as they encounter "Titanic", they will be defeated.


    Now is the opportunity to stand up. If you can win the best director and best film, "L.A. Confidential" will still be the biggest winner tonight.


    The air in the Shrine Grand Theater seemed to feel a tense atmosphere, solidified and thickened, and the theater was silent, watching Warren Beatty, who was the award-giving guest, stepped onto the stage.


    "James, you look serious." Ryan joked in a low voice.


    "This is the best opportunity. I don''t know how many more years I have to wait for the next nomination." Even James Cameron, a purely commercial-oriented director, also values ??the Oscar statuette.


    As a famous playboy...er, no, a veteran in the circle, Warren Beatty knows what the audience cares most about right now, and without any extra words, directly submitted the nominee for the best director.


    "Peter Catanu, "Six Heroes of the Pig", Steven Soderberg, "Eileen Brockovich", Curtis Hansen, "L.A. Confidential". Gus Van Sant " "Mind Catcher", James Cameron "Titanic"..."


    Warren Beatty opened the envelope very simply and said without any muddle, "The winner of the best director is James Cameron''s "Titanic"!"


    "Wow~"


    Ryan clenched his fists and shook it hard, not only for the best director, but also for the latter award.


    When his name sounded. James Cameron shook his head very personally, and after kissing Linda Hamilton, he stood up. He was the first to find Ryan, and the two clapped to celebrate. The crisp sound even spread far away. .


    "Jim. You are a genius!"


    "I also believe so."


    James Cameron didn''t mean to be modest at all. He celebrated with the people around him one by one. Nicole Kidman, Jon Landau, Billy Zane and others gave their blessings.


    When he walked toward the stage, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kate Winslet and others in the front row gave hugs one after another.


    "The show has begun."


    After watching Cameron take the Golden Man from Warren Beatty. Ryan smiled very happily.


    "What a good show?" Nicole was a little strange.


    "Don''t forget, Jim is an arrogant man, and now he won the best director. Nicole, guess what he would say?"


    It seems that in order to cooperate with Ryan, James Cameron¡¯s acceptance speech came over, "The judges of the college, all people on earth, thank you. Thank you!"


    After routinely thanking the crew members and family members, Cameron fulfilled his promise, "Before the ceremony, I said, if you can get the best director, I will thank someone first, but now I put you in the end. , I hope next time I look for you to invest. Don¡¯t refuse me because of it.¡±


    "Yes, Ryan, this great masterpiece would not be possible without you. Even to this day, I still remember when I was filming "Terminator 2" in 1990. A little guy who was only ten years old jumped in front of me and said, "Hey, James, how will we create miracles together in the future? Maybe you can get the best director Oscar." Now I have got the best director, so I want to say thank you. Ryan, you He is a genius, the best dramatist, the best collaborator, and the most courageous investor!"


    It seems that in order to strengthen the tone, James Cameron used his right hand to force Ryan every time he said something. It seemed that he was afraid that the whole audience and even the whole world would not know who he was thankful for as a madman.


    The music urged by the band finally sounded, James Cameron turned around and prepared to walk down the stage, Ryan frowned, this is not the style of a tyrant on the set.


    "Oh, yes, there is one last sentence."


    James Cameron did not disappoint, and turned back to the microphone, "To borrow a line from Ryan in the movie, i¡¯! I am the king of the world!"


    He raised his hands high and waved the little golden man in his hands vigorously, still making strange screams in his mouth, showing his madman''s true qualities!


    This is James Cameron, this is the king of the world!


    Ryan clapped his palms and led the crew to stand up. Then everyone in the vicinity stood up, the people in the back row stood up, and the whole audience stood up!


    This is not just a tribute to James Cameron, but also a tribute to "Titanic", this great movie won the 11th statuette, tying the historical record.


    According to the general practice of Oscars, the best director and best film are often the same movie, and a new historical record is about to be born!


    Tonight¡¯s awards ceremony, both the host and the award-giving guests, strictly follow the fast-paced style. The final award-giving guest is the first generation 007, known as the most handsome old man in history, Sean Connery.


    "Thank you, I am honored to be the guest of honor for the best picture!"


    Sean Connery¡¯s words are equally succinct, "The best picture nominees include "Titanic" Ryan Jenkins, James Cameron, Jon Landau, and "L.A. Confidential" Arnold? Milkan, Curtis Hansen, "Six Heroes of the Pig" Uberto Pasolini, "Mind Catcher" Lawrence Bender, "Eileen Brockovich" Nicole Kidman, Zhu Liz Stewart, Steven Soderbergh."


    Listening to the voices from the station, Ryan has completely relaxed. If the best film is still in the hands of the best director, then the academy will definitely attract overwhelming criticism, since they are doing business If there is a compromise, it will definitely be compromised to the end.


    Sure enough, the results did not disappoint.


    "The best picture is "Titanic." Ryan Jenkins, James Cameron, Jon Landau."


    The twelfth little golden man got it! "Titanic" became the first Oscar! What "Comet Beauty" and what "Ben Xu" can only be the stepping stones of this great movie!


    The melody of "My Heart Eternal" was played for the twelfth time, and the entire crew was completely boiled and frantic. Whether they wanted it or not, the audience stood up and applauded again in front of the new miracle "Titanic"!


    "Congratulations, dear, you did it!" Nicole was the first to give a hug and congratulations.


    After the separation, Ryan hugged and celebrated with James Cameron and Jon Landau. As he headed toward the stage, he clapped one by one with the person who held out his hand. The applause in the theater never stopped until Put him on the stage to receive the award.


    "Thank you!"


    Ryan was the first to pick up the best picture and stood in front of the microphone.


    "I said I will be back! Now let me take a closer look at whom I should thank."


    With that said, Ryan took out a card from his dress pocket and read it with super fast rap, "Thank you academy, thank you Nicole, thank you Harvey, thank you Nat, thank Taylor, thank you Pat, thank you Kate..."


    Ryan read out more than forty names in one breath, and the melodious voice, accompanied by a unique rhythm, attracted constant applause and laughter from below. What''s more interesting is that in his reader list, James Cameron and Jon Landau kept nodding his head in accordance with his rhythm, making them look like a rap trio.


    "Also, thank you James."


    Ryan finally read the long list, "Without him, "Titanic" can only be written on paper, it can''t become a shocking picture!"


    "In life, accidents are always inevitable, and the future cannot be known. The only thing we have is today! Life is so precious, so in the last few seconds, I would like to ask you to listen to your heartbeat. This is the world The most precious thing."


    Ryan''s words seemed to have magical powers, and the laughter and applause of the audience instantly dissipated, and the Shrine Grand Theater, which can accommodate more than 5,500 people, became as quiet as a solemn church.


    The 70th Oscars ceremony ended with the victory of "Titanic" ~ www.novelhall.com~ In the routine interview ceremony, in order to thank Ryan and Cameron for their contributions to the film , The crew put all twelve statuettes in front of them and asked the reporters to take a group photo.


    The twelve golden little golden men can dazzle everyone''s eyes. However, in the eyes of all reporters, the brilliance and restrained young man behind is even more dazzling and brilliant than these little golden men combined.


    Two billion US dollars at the box office, sixteen Oscar nominations, and twelve statuettes. These are the greatest records in the history of movies. Apart from Ryan Jenkins, who else can create them?


    The awards ceremony was over, but Ryan couldn¡¯t get away. This victory was a great one. Partners, good media, etc. kept coming up to congratulate him. Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, even stopped him directly. In front of him.


    "Ryan, even if it is robbing, I will take you to the Vanity Fair party." She looked at Nicole again, "and our best actress!"

 Chapter 300： Potential enemy

    Please remember the website of this site: please post it to your qq group Weibo/WeChat forum to recommend the promotion introduction!


    After several years of hard promotion, the Vanity Fair party has become the most attractive place after the annual Oscars. The red carpet it puts on is the best place for celebrity models who can¡¯t participate in the Oscars to compete for beauty. Even, no. For the few award-winning films, I simply put my own celebration party here. (Please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)


    This year is different from previous years. Almost everyone''s eyes are revolving around a crew.


    In addition, the giants of major film companies that rarely attend parties also appeared in the main banquet hall of the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel.


    Michael Eisner also received an invitation, maybe it was a ghost or a subconscious behavior, anyway, he came here.


    At the same time, seeing Ryan Jenkins just appeared in the banquet hall, like a bright moon hanging in the dark night sky, attracting everyone''s eyes, even his enemy, could not help but cast envy.


    After all, the dazzling box office numbers and winning records are really shocking!


    Since the birth of Hollywood, no one has ever achieved his results. It seems that the entertainment industry in the United States in the 1990s was to set off his existence.


    Standing in the corner of the banquet hall, Michael Eisner was expressionless. The place where he appeared in the past would be the center of the world. However, now everyone is surrounded by Ryan Jenkins and Nicole. ? Kidman around, around the entire "Titanic" crew, he, the president of Disney, seems like an unrelated passerby, it is difficult to attract the attention of others.


    Could it be said that the other party is born at the center of the world? It only took him a long time to climb to the highest place in Hollywood and become one of the most powerful people. He also used huge profits to kidnap so many alliances, and even Disney¡¯s Miramax was standing there. To his side.


    I think at the beginning, I was also a person who watched him grow. Why didn''t he show it earlier, under his seemingly innocent appearance, there are such meticulous thoughts and huge ambitions hidden?


    Slowly taking a breath, Michael Eisner calmed down his tumultuous emotions, although Ryan Jenkins had implicitly expressed through Roy Disney that he didn''t want to be with Disney, but wanted to completely tear his face with him Michael Eisner. But he couldn''t bear to be put on one side, the tone of encountering the biggest mistake in his life.


    Even if the other party wants to make peace, he still has to wait for him to suppress him and breathe out.


    Since stepping into Hollywood, no one has been able to get out of his body after a slap in the face!


    It is not difficult to want peace. Blizzard Entertainment and Pixar Studios have always been what he wants. As long as the other party is willing to give up enough benefits, he can make peace with him.


    Of course, Michael Eisner is not a fool, although he sometimes thinks this way, he understands it in his heart. Ryan Jenkins'' wings gradually plumped, and even if he was at the helm of Disney, it would be difficult for him to find a place to start.


    Not to mention the net worth of nearly four billion dollars that Fortune magazine just assessed for him, just look at the allies around him now.


    Shirley Lansing, Ron Meyer, and Bill Mokris, these three are Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Twentieth Century Fox. They are also strong supporters of each other. There is another side. Several senior executives representing Warner, even Viacom and News Corp. have specially sent important people based in Los Angeles.


    This is a real world. It is also a country where money is supreme. The benefits that Ryan Jenkins can bring are so huge that even large groups with a market value of tens of billions of dollars have to pay special attention to it.


    The most senior insider in the industry, Michael Eisner knows that Hollywood¡¯s big-selling commercial movies are not just movies, they represent an entire industry chain. These companies that work closely with Ryan Jenkins can easily obtain huge profits from film-related industries, and the former Disney was one of them.


    Because people have been staring at Ryan Jenkins. He is almost clear about the benefits he created for "Titanic".


    This film has made a profit of over $600 million at the box office alone, and the benefits in related industries such as peripheral products, original soundtracks, and upcoming discs and video tapes will far exceed this number.


    Even several professional organizations have predicted that the total profit that "Titanic" can obtain will definitely catch up with its global box office numbers.


    These are all real benefits, and if the creators of this interest are moved, then the cake of those interest groups has been moved.


    What are the consequences of touching someone else¡¯s cake? But how can you find your place and restore your reputation if you don''t move?


    If the other party is just a talented person but doesn''t know how to share, that would be great.


    Michael Eisner couldn¡¯t help but have a headache. He secretly used a lot of methods, and within the rules of the game, he could hardly affect the opponent. Now Ryan Jenkins is as dazzling as the noon sun. Those ordinary methods are fundamental to him. No trouble.


    Means outside the rules? He has thought about this more than once, but he has not really put it into practice. If a war between Disney and other giants is caused, even if it is as strong as him, there is only one way to go.


    After all, Disney is not his Michael Eisner''s Disney. What''s more, there have been strong calls from the board of directors to regain the friendship with Ryan Jenkins and once again establish a close cooperative relationship. This is in the interests of the entire Disney.


    Cooperation? As long as he controls Disney for a day, he doesn''t have to think about it.


    What should I do?


    Seeing the person who would be the center point no matter where he walked to the banquet hall, Michael Eisner frowned.


    He is also a character who has struggled from the bottom, where he would easily admit defeat, even if the other party carries the power of "Titanic" and becomes a true top-level figure in Hollywood, he will definitely not be without weakness.


    Suddenly, Michael Eisner remembered the words of a supervisor who specializes in gossip. Ryan Jenkins''s private life is too clean. It is not like a Hollywood person. There will definitely be hidden secrets in it.


    It seems that he has also mentioned that there is a professional free paparazzi who is staring at Ryan Jenkins'' private sex, but because the opponent''s bodyguard team is too professional and strong, they have been unable to get valuable things.


    There must be people with clean and self-consciousness in this world, as well as people with high morals, but such people will never appear in Hollywood! Michael Eisner is convinced of this.


    Ryan Jenkins must have a secret, a man who has not had a relationship with him at the age of eighteen is absolutely abnormal!


    This may be the breakthrough!


    Professional matters must be entrusted to professionals. Michael Eisner immediately thought of a suitable candidate and made up his mind.


    Maybe he can also unite with those enemies of Ryan Jenkins? This thought just flashed, and Michael Eisner himself rejected it.


    The main opponents of the opponent are basically anti-Semitic elements. He is a Jewish man himself, and his career is in Hollywood. If he joins with those people, I am afraid that before Ryan Jenkins is unlucky, he will step down from Disney. .


    Yes, Ryan Jenkins has another enemy that everyone knows.


    Thinking of that creamy face, Michael Eisner shook his head quickly. What are those pig teammates going to do? A person who is on the verge of bankruptcy and can''t even save himself, where is the qualification to cooperate.


    A big fat man suddenly flashed in front of his eyes and walked towards where Ryan Jenkins was. Michael Eisner''s brow furrowed tighter, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.


    The person who just walked by is Harvey Weinstein, one of Ryan Jenkins¡¯s most steadfast allies, this time "Titanic" can get twelve statuettes, Nicole Kidman can be the top actress , He must have done a great job in it.


    You know, Miramax is a subsidiary of Disney!


    And the Weinstein brothers, who control the company, have always been at odds with him, maybe they can be operated on?


    In this way, Miramax can be completely controlled, and the Weinstein brothers can be kicked out, which is totally killing two birds with one stone!


    Hmm... it can also deter those directors on the board who prefer to work with Ryan Jenkins.


    Michael Eisner¡¯s ability to transform Walt Disney from an animation company into a large media group with a market value of tens of billions of dollars is undoubtedly, and he must be a determined person. Since he has made up his mind, he will naturally put it into practice. For implementation!


    After drinking the red wine in the glass, he left the banquet hall without looking back.


    After more than two years of adjustments, the various adverse effects of Disney''s annexation of TV stations have gradually disappeared, and the management has also had more energy to deal with other aspects, such as strengthening the competitiveness in the film and animation markets.


    Although the main focus will not be on this aspect, how can Ryan not pay attention to his potential worst enemy?


    Frankly speaking, he hopes that Michael Eisner can give up his prejudices, and cooperation is in the interests of both parties. Vicious competition or a war is not good for anyone.


    But from what he learned about Michael Eisner''s arbitrary tyrant character, the possibility of reconciliation between the two parties is infinitely small.


    However, Ryan does not care very much. Disney is not anyone''s Disney. When the decision makers make a decision that violates the interests of those who really control the capital, Disney''s management will naturally undergo tremendous changes, and there will be a ready-made one in the past life. example of.


    Michael Eisner was ousted at Disney.


    "Hey, honey, have a drink with me!"


    The blushing Nicole Kidman walked over to Ryan at this time.


    "Damn it, Nicole, how much did you drink?"


    Ryan grabbed her glass, and the Australian girl was already a bit drunk.


    ps: I have written three hundred chapters. I feel a little bit emotional.

 Chapter 301： New company plan

    ps:


    Oh, the new month has begun, and today it is still four more! Dear friends, just drop it over if you have something in your hand.


    If you count the unsuccessful audition experience in 1987, Nicole has been in Hollywood for a full ten years. During this period, he was nominated for Best Supporting Actress three times and was nominated for Best Actress once. Later that night, she finally got the trophy representing the highest honor of an actor. It''s weird if she is not excited or not happy.


    Once people get too excited, they will do something out of the ordinary. Coupled with so many people around to socialize, Nicole can''t help drinking a few more glasses, and she is already a little drunk.


    "Ryan, this is the second happiest day in my life." Nicole nodded at him in a short time. "This feeling is really wonderful."


    "But I heard that the person who gets the best actress will be unlucky for three years." Ryan handed the wine glass to the passing waiter and couldn''t help but slap a little, "Are you ready?"


    "Do I need to prepare?" Nicole leaned forward, seeming to want to strengthen her tone in this way, "Don''t forget, the trilogy I am shooting, but you carefully prepared, if it fails ,I¡­¡­"


    Seeing Harvey Weinstein bringing someone over, Nicole hurriedly closed her mouth. Although she always likes to show a strong appearance, she also knows that in public, she must leave enough maneuvers for her beloved. Room or face.


    "Congratulations yet, our best actress!"


    As soon as Harvey Weinstein''s voice fell, Nicole laughed and said, "So, should I notify the crew to increase the pay?"


    "As long as Ryan agrees, I have no opinion."


    Turned around. Harvey Weinstein introduced the people behind to the two, "Ryan, Nicole, this is director Stephen Sommers."


    "Hello, Ryan! Hello, Nicole!"


    The other party is probably in his thirties, which is when he is shrewd and capable. Take the initiative to step forward and say hello.


    "That''s it, Ryan."


    After the two sides greeted him, Harvey Weinstein said directly, "Stephen has an idea, which is quite interesting. I think it is very valuable for investment."


    Harvey Weinstein has always had a good vision. Hearing what he said, Ryan couldn''t help looking at the man, and his head turned quickly. I immediately remembered who this director was.


    "Stephen, can you take the liberty to ask?" Ryan has always been very cautious about investment.


    "Of course." Stephen Sommers nodded.


    "If I remember correctly, you should have been working with Disney, why did you come to us?" Ryan pointed to Harvey Weinstein, the conflict between them and Michael Eisner and Disney. For Hollywood, it is not a secret at all.


    "Disney rejected this project." Stephen Sommers was inevitably a little lonely, "After the failure of "Extreme Chill". They lost their trust in me."


    "Extreme Cold"? Ryan thought for a while, there was no impression at all, it should be a not very successful movie, this kind of thing will be known after a casual check.


    "May I know the idea of ??your new script?" Ryan asked tentatively.


    "of course can."


    Seeing the other party nodding, Ryan took them out of the banquet hall and asked the hotel for a meeting room as a place for detailed discussion.


    It''s getting late, Stephen went directly to the topic, "This is a story about Egypt, related to the pharaoh, mummies and tombs..."


    A director wants to impress investors. The most basic thing is to have a good story. Although Stephen Somos''s idea is far from mature, it has a rough shape.


    After a long time. Stephen Sommers stopped and looked at Ryan expectantly. Who didn''t know that he had a huge cash flow in his hands, let alone investing in a movie, and investing in several films at the same time would be no problem.


    "Let''s do it, Stephen." Ryan confirmed the desired result. "I am very interested in this story. You can get the script as soon as possible. The director''s position and investment are not a problem."


    Then he looked at the big fat man again, "Harvey, how about you?"


    Harvey Weinstein shook his head concealedly, and Ryan nodded knowingly, letting people send Stephen Somos away.


    "What happened, Harvey?" Ryan was very strange. Every time he encountered an opportunity, this guy couldn''t wait to make an investment. Why was he silent this time?


    "Bob and I have had some trouble recently."


    The interests of both parties are closely related, coupled with the friendship established over the years, Harvey Weinstein''s words are very direct, "The Disney board, to be precise, it is Michael Eisner who wants to kick us out of the game."


    This is really troublesome. In any case, Disney is the largest shareholder of Miramax. If you really want to control the management of Miramax, the Weinstein brothers may not be able to resist it for long.


    "Then what did you and Bob plan?" Ryan understood that the other party was definitely not here to complain.


    "Find a way to put Michael Eisner together, transfer out the shares in his hands at a high price, then jump out of Disney''s quagmire, and re-establish a film company with the capital that Bob and I have accumulated over the years."


    Harvey Weinstein seemed to have made up his mind. He looked over and asked very seriously, "Ryan, I don''t know what you promised back then..."


    "I am very interested in becoming a shareholder of the new company." Ryan gave a guarantee.


    "And me." Nicole opened her blurred eyes.


    "Okay, Ryan, Nicole, let us just let it go!"


    Although he knew that the other party had an excellent reputation, he was assured by his own words that Harvey Weinstein''s confidence increased.


    "Is there a specific time plan? If possible, let Somos''s work as the first film of the new company."


    "No, no, no, Ryan." Harvey Weinstein shook his finger suddenly, "I think you have forgotten that "The Matrix" was invested in private names by Bob and I."


    After his reminder, Ryan naturally remembered and couldn''t help but smile. The Weinstein brothers had already prepared a way out for themselves.


    Of course, this is only a simple intention. After all, the Weinstein brothers want to change the shares of Miramax and establish a new film company. It is not a simple matter. It takes time.


    The 70th Oscar has completely come to an end, but the feast belonging to the media is far from over. There are too many things at this awards ceremony worthy of a big book.


    On the second day of the award ceremony, almost all the media added supplements. The cover was either a photo of Ryan and the twelve statuettes, or the unstoppable ship.


    "Great record! Great Titanic! Great Ryan Jenkins!"


    The "Los Angeles Times" issued such a huge headline on the front page, as if only in this way can it highlight the theme of the Oscars ceremony last night.


    "Twelve Little Golden Men! "Titanic" lived up to expectations and set a brand new Oscar winning record. "My Heart Eternal" almost became the main theme of the awards ceremony last night! Even though Ryan lost three of the four nominations, The Golden Man who only got the comforting best original song, but he created the most glorious moment in the history of the Oscars. Don¡¯t forget, Nicole Kidman¡¯s Best Actress and Blue Sky Studio¡¯s Best Animated Short Film , Are inextricably linked to him! He is worthy of the banner of Hollywood movies!"


    In addition to Ryan, the newspaper also specifically commented on Nicole''s best actress.


    "Nicole Kidman''s best actress is definitely well deserved. Looking at all the nominees, whether it is qualifications, fame, or the most important acting skills, she has all the absolute advantages, the only one What makes people worry is luck. God seems to have seen the efforts of this Australian actress and finally returned her the honor that belongs to her!"


    Nicole¡¯s best actress is definitely the most important of the four awards, and the least controversial one. To be precise, except for a very small number of people who oppose it, most of the media are her firm supporters. , There are even comments that''Judy Foster and Nicole Kidman are the two most important queens born in the 1990s! ¡¯


    Of course, the public naturally sympathizes with the weak, and there are many people who have criticized "L.A. Confidential", especially some people who like nostalgia and literary style.


    "L.A. Confidential is definitely more qualified to win the best film than "Titanic"! But the academy would rather choose cg special effects than award the award to it. It is a shame that art has lost to business. ! If there is no box office of up to two billion US dollars, would the judges still choose "Titanic"?"


    This kind of voice is difficult to occupy the mainstream After all, the success of "Titanic" has brought hidden benefits to the entire Hollywood.


    However, many people directed their gunfire at James Cameron, a madman. As for the reason, it was naturally his last acceptance speech.


    "James Cameron finally fulfilled his dream of being the best director, but this tyrant on the set showed his arrogant side-I am the king of the world-think about it, how swollen he must be to say Come on! This is definitely the worst acceptance speech in Oscar history!"


    "Compared to the former truck driver, Ryan Jenkins showed good education, even if he lost the best original screenplay and best actor one after another, he still maintained his own style, and in the end, he was like a rap in the best film. His gratitude, as well as the touching words, can be called the biggest highlight of this year''s Ocas."


    No matter how controversial, commenting, or criticizing, the Oscar statuettes have their own belongings, and these voices are no longer irrelevant to the overall situation.


    After Nicole became a new movie star, Ryan led the ownership of the fourteen statuettes. The two of them were not only the big winners of this Oscar, but also the focus of media and public attention. Various interview contracts began on the second day. It''s piled up in front of Pie? Jinsli. ()

 Chapter 302： Environmental Protection Organization

    ""Titanic" brought more than just huge box office numbers and brand-new records."


    In his studio, Ryan was being interviewed by a live broadcast program. He talked to the camera, ¡°It brings about a phenomenon that breaks the restrictions of the country, region, religion, and culture. Leading a trend all over the world, it is through the common film language that we spread American culture to all parts of the world."


    Ryan has always been happy to set up a halo for himself.


    "Everyone knows that you are participating in the shooting of a new movie. Can you reveal some exclusive news?" The interview was about to end, and the host asked another question that attracted much attention, "For example, the subject matter? What? When will it be released?"


    "This is a modern Robinson story."


    Without waiting for the host to ask questions, Ryan hurriedly said, "Jenkins Pictures will hold a press conference soon to introduce the general situation of this film."


    After the interview, Ryan made a special trip to Jenkins Pictures, and after a short wait, James Cameron walked into the office with an appointment.


    "Wow, see who this is, our king of the world is here!" He exaggerated admiration.


    "Come on, Ryan."


    James Cameron was not at all polite, and sat directly across from Ryan''s desk, "What are you looking for? I''m going on vacation."


    "I want to rent a boat to dive again?" This is the biggest hobby of truck drivers.


    "Yeah, I am going to the Mariana Trench this time! Together, Ryan?"


    "Forget it, Jim." Ryan shook his finger. "I''m going to Fiji. The whole crew is waiting for me."


    "Fiji?" Cameron seemed to think of something. "By the way, I heard Kate say that the new plane you ordered has arrived. Can I take a ride?"


    "Where is your private jet?"


    "I don''t have money to maintain, and I don''t have money to hire a crew member!"


    "Well, let''s leave at ten o''clock tomorrow morning. It''s out of date." Ryan knew that James Cameron was just joking.


    He opened the desk drawer, took out the check that had been prepared long ago, and pushed it over. This was his main purpose for looking for James Cameron.


    "Wow, wow, you are so generous, Ryan!"


    Seeing the number on the check, Cameron admired a few words, "50 million U.S. dollars. A whole lot more than I expected!"


    "You deserve it, Jim."


    The share of "Titanic" and various bonuses have been paid out long ago, and James Cameron is the latest one to receive.


    Of course, the subsequent sharing of peripherals and derivatives is not yet in time.


    "Want to hear suggestions?" Ryan knuckles, and gently knocks off the table.


    "What advice?"


    "Jim. I heard Linda say that you were writing a story about aliens years ago." Nicole heard this from Linda Hamilton.


    "Yes."


    James Cameron nodded first, then shook his head. "The current photography technology simply does not meet my requirements."


    "Why don''t you develop it yourself?" Ryan encouraged, "You are a technology madman, the leader of Hollywood''s most advanced film technology!"


    "Is this your suggestion?"


    "Hmm~"


    Ryan shrugged and explained, "We can jointly fund and acquire a technology-based manufacturer, which doesn''t cost much."


    The core patent of the future 3D technology is in the hands of James Cameron, which is a lucrative business.


    "It''s really a good idea." Cameron thought for a while. Said, "Let''s do it, Ryan. After my vacation is over, we will talk more about it."


    Fifty million dollars is enough to support James Cameron''s madness for a long time. This guy should have no plans to continue working in the short term.


    Leaving James Cameron away, Ryan also left Jenkins Pictures and returned home to prepare for the next long-distance flight to Fiji.


    In the hall of the manor villa, a huge glass showcase was added. Not only the little golden man that Ryan kept on Nicole¡¯s side, she took it over, and even her best actress, the little golden man, was also placed here. At the same time, the Australian girl seems to want to use this way to show her status in this manor.


    However, after spending two crazy nights, Nicole flew to Australia one step earlier. The trilogy of "The Matrix" was filmed at the same time, and the time was very tight.


    Back in the bedroom, Ryan almost laughed when thinking of the trick he had played these past two days.


    In order to avoid those paparazzi, with George''s assistance, Nicole can always sneak here to stay overnight without knowing it in various ways. The Oscar queen who just got it seems to have given her unlimited passion.


    Especially on the second day of the Oscar night, Nicole could not get out of bed all day due to being too crazy and intemperate. He rarely slept until the afternoon.


    Shaking his head, Ryan looked at the time, forced himself to dissipate the thoughts about Nicole, and dialed the phone in Morocco, where Natalie was out on the scene.


    "Hey, Nat."


    "Ryan, you are ten minutes late today."


    "Really? Ah, I was thinking about things just now." Ryan quickly changed the subject, "Is it hot in Morocco? You have to be careful when shooting in the desert, and don''t get sunburned."


    "It''s okay, it''s not as hot as expected." Natalie''s voice hesitated, "Ryan...When will you come to see me? We haven''t seen each other for a long time!"


    "Soon, I promise!" Ryan figured it out. "My shot in Fiji will not take long. When the shooting is over, I will go over to see you. Don¡¯t forget, we have made an appointment to go to the world together. travel!"


    "Yeah!" Natalie''s voice was crisper than before. "Let''s stop here today, Ryan, I''m going to put on makeup."


    "Well, goodbye, Nat."


    Pressing that feeling of guilt into the deepest part of my heart, Ryan sat at the desk and crackled the laptop keyboard. In this blank document, a brand new script was slowly born.


    This is a machismo who can listen to the stories of the women around him.


    Now that Helen Hunt''s post-sealed work was taken away, Ryan naturally thought of another masterpiece of hers. Although this story is absurd and clich¨¦d, it is a heavy box office bomb.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    A brand new Gulfstream business jet taxied across the runway and slowly entered the apron.


    This is the private jet ordered by Ryan. Gulfstream not only provided the most advanced and luxurious equipment, but also specially recommended him an experienced crew with a long safety flight record.


    Of course, the plane belonging to Nicole has the same treatment.


    This is the Nadi International Airport located in the western part of Viti Levu and is the most important port of entry and exit in Fiji.


    As early as when the film project was just approved, the staff of Jenkins Pictures began to find the main location for the film in the Caribbean, the Hawaiian Islands and the South Pacific region-a suitable island!


    There were many twists and turns in the middle. They found a remote private island in the northwestern part of the Fiji Islands. After personal inspections by Jules Stewart and Robert Zemigis, they finally determined it.


    After getting off the plane, several cars sent by the crew were already waiting here. After Ryan, George and the others got on the car, the cars drove quickly towards the pier. They were on the pier again, changing the leased boat, shaking Huang embarked on a journey to the isolated island.


    The island is not too far away, and after a short while, Ryan stood on the bow and saw it.


    "This is a volcanic island."


    The young woman talking was Robert Zemigis¡¯ assistant, named Anna Howard. She held on to the railing of the bow and introduced some basic information to Ryan, ¡°This island is only ninety-nine acres, and it¡¯s two walks. You can travel across the island in just an hour, and its beaches, reefs and coconut groves are very distinctive."


    "Are the boat parking and transportation convenient, Anna?" Ryan retracted his gaze.


    "This is a private island. It has a suitable small port that can accommodate our small fleet."


    Hearing the explanation from the other party, coupled with the understanding of Julius Stewart, Ryan was completely relieved. You must know that a lot of large equipment will be used in the shooting. If the transportation is inconvenient, it will definitely be a nightmare.


    Because of the Oscars ceremony, Ryan had to stay in Los Angeles temporarily, and the crew came to this island two weeks ago. They can adapt to the environment in advance and take advantage of this time to shoot a lot of landscape shots. In post-production, there will be more choices.


    "Hi, Robert."


    Walking out of the port, Ryan came directly to a sandy beach, "You look black."


    "Trust me, Ryan, as long as you stay in the South Pacific sun for a few days, it will also turn black." Robert Zemigis took off his glasses and shook Ryan''s hand firmly. Congratulations, the twelve statuettes won in a single movie are shocking."


    Ryan smiled and looked at a young woman who was following Robert Zemigis. He looked at each other''s dressing, and it didn''t seem to be a crew member.


    "Who is this¡­¡­"


    "Oh, Ryan."


    He should have noticed his attention, Robert Zemigis introduced, "This is Miss Helen Kisson, a representative of an environmental protection organization in Fiji who is stationed in the crew."


    "Hello, Miss Helen, it''s nice to meet you." Ryan offered to extend his hand.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins, it is said that this is a movie you invested in. I hope you can restrain the crew and cooperate with our work." This Miss Helen Kisson is very fluent in English. "I belong to the Fiji Islands Environmental Protection Organization. ."


    Representative of an environmental protection organization? Ryan frowned slightly. Regardless of how the other person is, these organizations are almost synonymous with trouble. What do they send people to the crew? ()

 Chapter 303： One-man show

    These unofficial civil organizations are often more difficult to deal with than government agencies. Fortunately, they are only members of an environmental protection organization. If it is a fish or crab protector organization, then this movie must be stranded here. .


    In fact, many crews have been challenged by various inexplicable associations. Scarlett Johansson, who was filming "The Horse Whisperer" in Montana, once complained on the phone to Ryan that a certain animal protection organization, Supervisors were stationed in the crew to observe the crew¡¯s attitude towards the horses.


    Those horses who act as props have not only become the best-paid actors in the crew, but also don''t have to work overtime. As long as the working hours exceed the regulations, even one minute, those people will stand up and chirping, making the crew annoying.


    On the contrary, those human actors who work overtime and are overloaded, they turn a blind eye.


    After listening to Scarlett''s words, Ryan also remembered some media complaints that killing people in North America is no big deal. If you kill a dog, it is the real trouble.


    Fortunately, this is Fiji, and many things have room for change. Ryan believes that the various organizations here should not be as perverted as in North America.


    "This is the request of the owner of the island. He asks us to try our best to maintain the style and appearance of this place."


    After the environmentalist named Helen Kisson went away, Robert Zemigis briefly explained a few words, "We need to follow the customs and regulations of the island here, Miss Anna Kisson. Responsible for the full supervision."


    "Find someone who is responsible for communicating with her." Ryan still understands the principle of going to the countryside.


    Although he is also a producer, Ryan has given the management of the entire crew to Julius Stewart. The next one is a one-man show, and he needs to use his performance to prop up all the shots. We must devote all our energy to the role of Chuck.


    Ryan took a rest for a night, and after another half a morning of trial shooting, his one-man show officially started.


    In the tent serving as a temporary dressing room, the stylist is dressing up Ryan''s appearance more mature, and at the same time reminding some follow-up precautions.


    "Ryan, from now on. You need to grow your hair and beard..."


    He looked at Ryan''s face, sighed and said, "Well, I''ll take care of the beard problem."


    It is obviously an impossible task for an 18-year-old young man to grow a full beard in a few months.


    In fact, Ryan has kept his hair since the New Year. The beard problem is really hard to solve.


    The best way is to lower the age of the protagonist Chuck. However, if he is too young, his life experience will be reduced, and the protagonist¡¯s persuasive power will be further reduced. For such a film that is almost a one-man show. . That would be a catastrophe.


    Of course, for those experienced makeup artists in Hollywood, whether it''s hair or beard. It''s all small problems.


    "Ryan, is it all right?" Anna Howard asked at the door.


    "I''ll be fine soon, Anna." Ryan sighed slightly, and the scenes that were about to be shot flashed in his mind.


    On the island¡¯s beach, lights, cameras and other equipment were already ready, Ryan lay in the life raft and gave Robert Zemigis a thumbs up.


    "Sixteenth scene, second act, now begins!"


    The sleeping man was lying in the yellow life raft with an abnormal blush on his face. The surrounding sea continued to wash around, and when the morning sun completely dissipated the darkness of the disaster, he slowly opened his eyes. Confusion and doubt flashed through the pale blue eyes, as well as the rejoicing of the rest of my life...


    After a few low coughs, the man used his hands and feet together and climbed out of the life raft, but now he looked a little weak and fell directly on the beach, letting the sea wash the fat sweater and dirty trousers.


    Wiping off the water droplets and sand on his face, the man slowly crawled forward and came to a place far away from the sea. He looked into the distance, except for the sea or the sea, and inexplicable emotions shrouded the firm face.


    As if remembering something, the man fumbled in his pockets all over his body. A black copy machine was held in his hand with hope. However, this absolutely waterproof copy machine was filled with water. It cannot be used either.


    Draining the water inside, the man threw the torture machine aside in disappointment, and took out a pocket watch from his pocket, which was the Christmas present given to him by his fianc¨¦e.


    When he opened the pocket watch, the pointer had already frozen. He put it in his ear and listened, knowing that the watch must be broken. After looking at the photo of his fianc¨¦e in a daze, he put it away solemnly.


    The plane crash and the frustration of living on an isolated island were unable to bring down this man for the time being. His eyes kept flying around, trying to find some hope and some clues.


    Soon, something attracted his attention.


    Wearing a drenched sweater and trousers, with fine sand on his face, the man stood up firmly, strode forward, and picked up the FedEx mail that was being baptized by sea water...


    "Cut!" Robert Zemisga showed a satisfied look, "Very good, Ryan, your performance is great!"


    Despite the reputation of the other party, he did not expect that after such a long interval, the other party would have recovered the state so quickly.


    "Any trick, Ryan?"


    When he walked to the rest area, Anna Howard handed over the towel and blanket in time. Ryan just took the towel and wiped off the sand on his face, "Because I don''t want to be soaked in the sea anymore."


    Hearing that this was not a reason, everyone around him laughed.


    The shooting of this movie can be regarded as an alternative in Hollywood-style production. It is shot almost completely in the sequence of the development of the movie plot, and the scene does not need to be changed too much. The actor is only Ryan for the time being, as long as he is in sufficient condition. OK, the shooting progress will be exceptionally smooth.


    Strictly speaking, this movie is considered to be the most adequately prepared by Ryan. Not only did he gain weight to make himself look more mature, it also received extensive field survival training from George and professionals.


    These are all conducive to his better control of this role.


    Ryan''s condition has been very stable. Although occasionally there are a few shots with double-digit ng, the overall shooting progress far exceeds the actual plan of Robert Zemigis.


    Of course, for the production of Hollywood movies, the length of the shots that need to be shot can often reach ten times the actual length of the movie.


    In addition to the crew and the member of the Environmental Protection Organization, two FedEx employees came to this island. They carried a large number of mail boxes and packaging boxes. This was not only the props of the crew, but also their best. Advertising carrier.


    "Ryan, according to the current shooting schedule, we can save a quarter of our expenses at this stage."


    At lunch, Ryan and Robert Zemigis got together. The director was obviously satisfied with the shooting in the last few days, "This way we can have more money to invest in post-production."


    As for returning the money saved to investors, it is absolutely impossible for a qualified director.


    "These things, you can coordinate with Jules." Ryan is still the nature of letting go of the shopkeeper.


    Compared with the previous life, the budget of this movie is only 65 million US dollars, of which 20 million US dollars is Ryan''s remuneration. This movie is not made by Jenkins Pictures, and he does not have the money to take. Will be soft.


    After "Titanic", even in terms of acting alone, he is also the first-line superstar in Hollywood, not to mention 20 million dollars. If Ryan is willing to nod his head, at least ten or more producers are willing to help He paid out thirty million dollars in remuneration to star in a movie produced by their company.


    With the deepening of filming, Ryan''s field survival training has gradually played a role. Although he will be thrown into the uninhabited field, 80% will die, but his performance in front of the camera is completely an amateur survival expert. .


    Whenever the assistant director called the start, the protagonist he played would open the coconut with a stone tool, use the coconut shell to collect rainwater on the leaves, and use a sharpened wooden stick to fish in the sea.


    Even, he personally paddled a yellow life-saving kayak into the sea and fought against the wind and waves.


    Two weeks later, perhaps after a long period of continuous shooting, Ryan¡¯s long light brown hair was curled and twisted into a ball, and the upper body of his body became almost bronzed and uncut, and it looked like at first glance. , Like refugees who wandered here from Africa.


    "You don''t happen to have a match, do you?"


    In front of the camera, Ryan is using the most primitive method to make a fire, and the object of his speech is a volleyball.


    His arms are protruding muscles and he is holding a sharpened wooden stick is quickly rubbing the wooden trough on the beach. The sky blue eyes will turn around from time to time to take a look at the red face on the volleyball. It seems that this only partner can bring him strength and confidence.


    The hay on the wooden trough finally burst into blue smoke, Ryan hurriedly squatted on the ground, blowing lightly, trying to turn that spark into a life-saving fire.


    However, disappointing things happened, the smoke gradually dissipated, and there was no trace of the fire.


    "There is air going in!" Ryan glanced at the cracked wooden trough and said to the volleyball very seriously.


    Under the gaze of his only companion, he quickly regained his confidence, made preparations again, and repeated friction and fire.


    The firm face, dripping sweat, the expression of never admitting defeat, and the volleyball all supported him to continue.


    The green smoke rose again, and the sky blue eyes were filled with hope, and a few breaths slowly fell on the dry grass. The fire that brought mankind from barbarism to civilization finally ignited!


    "Hahaha...fire, my fire has finally come!" ()

 Chapter 304： Turn north

    "Are you an angel?"


    The little boy with smooth light brown hair, sitting on the high counter, asked the girl in front of him.


    "What?" The girl didn''t understand what the other party meant.


    "I heard those pilots talk about angels. They are the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They live on the moon in Yigo."


    Hearing him say so, the girl laughed, "You are so smart, how do you know so many things?"


    "It''s all from businessmen and pilots. I am also a pilot and I will leave here someday."


    "Are you a pilot?"


    "Hmm~" The child was very confident, "All my life!"


    "How long have you been here?" The girl came to be interested.


    "I came here when I was very young, maybe three years old."


    "Are you a slave?"


    "I am a man, my name is Anakin, Anakin? Skywalker!"


    Looking at those sky-blue eyes, the girl shook her head apologetically, "I''m sorry, I don''t quite understand, everything here is too strange!"


    In George? After Lucas yelled to pass, Natalie rubbed the little guy''s hair, turned and walked towards the dressing room, her scene today is all over.


    Is she right to play the young Anakin? Skywalker''s little actors have a good impression, especially the pair of sky blue eyes, which are almost exactly the same as the pair hidden in their hearts.


    Natalie knows this is George? The result of Lucaster''s choice, is it naturally the Anakin who grew up in the latter two? Skywalker.


    Sitting on the chair, Natalie slowly closed her eyes and allowed the makeup artist to remove her makeup. The air-conditioning in the room was full and the humidifier kept running, isolating the hot and dry climate in the Moroccan desert.


    Excluding a few clips shot in the Los Angeles studio, most of the shots of this film will be done on the set in the desert area of ??Morocco, although Natalie does not have much to do with Hollywood other than the work of acting and director. I understand, but I heard Ryan mentioned many trends in the development of the film industry.


    For example, the exodus of film crews is a major problem facing the domestic film industry in the United States.


    In fact, Morocco is one of Hollywood''s usual overseas locations. Quite a lot of desert or Gobi shots in movies are taken from here.


    Although this movie has a high budget, most of it has to be thrown into post-production, George? Lucas naturally had to plan carefully during the shooting process. Such a low-cost location has naturally become his first choice.


    After removing her makeup and changing back to her clothes, Natalie walked out of the dressing room, her assistant was already waiting here.


    "Judy, where''s the satellite phone?"


    "Here." The female assistant handed over the satellite phone. "Mr. Jenkins hasn''t called yet."


    "Well, I got it."


    Holding the satellite phone, Natalie strode out of the makeshift studio. He should be almost there.


    In recent days, apart from the phone calls from her parents, she received very few calls, and it was inevitable that she would feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.


    However, she also knew that Ryan had been shooting on a small island in the South Pacific that was isolated from the rest of the world, and that the angle was so difficult that even she herself was shocked, and it was normal for the other party to put all their energy into it. .


    Thinking of the limited number of meetings between the two since the establishment of the relationship, Natalie can''t help but frown.


    Although there are only more than four hours of flight time from New York to Los Angeles, the distance between the east and west coasts is definitely an obstacle between them. In addition, both of them have both academics and careers, so the time they can spare is really small. It''s so few.


    Maybe you should choose to apply to the West Coast, preferably a university in Los Angeles?


    As soon as this idea appeared, Natalie threw it aside. She had already made a plan for her life, and the Ivy League school was a must.


    There are enough female stars in Hollywood style, she just wants to be the one that is different!


    And only in this way, when she is standing next to that person, will the public not regard her as Ryan? Who in Jenkins...


    "Hi, Natalie."


    Just walking to the door of the studio, a person appeared in front of her.


    "Hello, Ivan." Natalie''s tone was slightly alienated.


    "I heard people say you haven''t been out shopping much." Ivan? McGregor smiled brightly like a sun. "Are you interested in visiting Rabet together?"


    "Sorry." Natalie refused without hesitation. "I have a friend coming here soon."


    "friend?"


    Don''t know why, Ivan? A figure flashed through McGregor''s mind, "Then... okay."


    Ivan? McGregor is not an idiot, Natalie has refused his invitation more than once, in case it is really like he just guessed, he is definitely not something he can provoke.


    Walking out of this temporary set, the crew of the crew drove over in an instant.


    "Miss Portman, get in the car." A very familiar voice came from the driver''s seat.


    Natalie''s eyes lit up in an instant, and her bright gaze swept over the extremely familiar figure, the extremely familiar face and some unfamiliar sunglasses, quickly opened the door of the car and sat in the position of the co-pilot.


    "You always love to play surprise attacks." The girl made a small complaint.


    "I just wanted to surprise you, dear Nat."


    Ryan started the car and drove to the hotel quickly. For this strange country, he only knew the road where the driver took him.


    "Where''s the driver?" Natalie suddenly remembered, the assistant didn''t get in the car, "Ryan, where''s Judy."


    "Don''t worry, George''s car is behind."


    Looking at the face that had almost changed from the sun, Natalie suddenly felt a little distressed, and asked concerned, "How long will it take for that movie to end."


    "It''s early." Ryan hurriedly turned the steering wheel, and the car turned on the road in front of the hotel. "The first stage is considered complete. The subsequent shooting will have to wait a few months."


    He pointed to his hair and strong chest, "I need to wait for my hair to grow and lose all the weight I gained."


    "I think you have a very suitable figure now." Natalie poked his chest mischievously, and deliberately teased, "It feels better than before."


    Feel? Ryan''s eyelids jumped, it seems that this is a description of a woman, right?


    Thinking like this in his head, his eyes fell unconsciously on Natalie''s petite chest. The Nagashima girl was wearing a silk short-sleeved t-shirt, and the outline of it could be seen faintly.


    "Ryan, what are you looking at?" Natalie stared fiercely, "Concentrate on driving, do you want to have a car accident?"


    "Sniff."


    Ryan murmured, stepped on the accelerator abruptly, the speed increased by a lot, and he reached the hotel soon.


    The two did not stay longer. From the special elevator in the underground parking lot, they arrived at the presidential suite that Ryan had booked. They just entered the room and before the door was completely closed, Ryan and Natalie stared at each other closely. Then closed his eyes and kissed one place.


    This long kiss was fierce or even violent at the beginning, but at the end it was full of warmth.


    Gently sucking on the girl¡¯s soft lips, the tongue would occasionally be swept across the fine teeth, Ryan''s hands were slightly harder, Natalie''s body rose from the ground, as he sat on the same single sofa,


    "I miss you, Nat." Leaving Natalie''s lips, Ryan gently stroked the girl''s hairline.


    "I miss you too, Ryan."


    Natalie pulled Ryan''s face away, and after a hard punch on it, she got rid of his entanglement, got up and walked into the bar in the corner of the living room.


    "What do you want to drink?" She took the cup, deliberately adding more ice to it.


    "Whatever you want." Ryan took a deep breath.


    I''m not an impatient ghost, do I need it? He shook his head slightly.


    Drinking the juice from Natalie, the cold feeling extinguished the only flame in Ryan''s heart. The two cuddled together and whispered about their current situation, even if they had already been said on the phone, repeat it at this time. Still won''t get bored.


    "Nate, if we are interested, we can go for a walk at night."


    "Ryan, I want to stay in the hotel."


    In front of the closest people, Natalie did not hide her true thoughts, "This is an Islamic country."


    "Oh, I almost forgot about this."


    The girl beside him was born in Jerusalem, Ryan changed the subject, "Nat, when will your shots be finished?"


    "Are you ready?" Brown se''s eyes looked straight at those sky blue se''s eyes.


    "Of course, I promised you to travel around the world together." Ryan pressed a stamp on her forehead.


    "I remember..." Natalie tapped Ryan on the forehead. "You still have a business show in a certain country, right?"


    "Yeah." Ryan showed a bright smile, "It''s just one night, Nat, you have learned Chinese for so long, don''t you want to go there for a look?"


    "Huh~" Natalie wrinkled her nose, and threw away the hand that came up along her thigh. "You can always find a reason."


    "Nate, you should know that in the Hollywood circle, some things are always involuntary Holding her petite body tightly, Ryan slowly rubbed Natalie¡¯s forehead with her chin. "I have never forgotten this agreement we made when we were young. "


    Sniffing the familiar breath, Natalie''s face was pressed tightly against that generous chest, and when she recalled the situation when she agreed to travel around the world, the corners of her mouth burst into a sweet smile. How could she ever forget it? .


    "Need me to say hello to George and take your shots first?" Ryan asked in her ear.


    "Don''t, Ryan." Natalie looked up at his face. "If it goes well, I can finish my shots in three to five days."


    "Well, I''ll let someone book a ticket in five days."


    Upon hearing Ryan''s words, Natalie couldn''t help but feel a little strange, "Isn''t your private jet in place?"


    "It''s very troublesome to go there to apply for routes or something."


    After thinking about the specific itinerary, Ryan continued, "Well, let''s take a business jet to Hong Kong or Taipei, and then transfer to the north." (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 205： Xiao Rui

    Walking out of the movie theater, Wang Lin looked back at the huge poster hanging directly above the theater. The big ship and the heads of the heroes and heroines were very clear under the neon light.


    Riding on her Mulan car, facing the warm sea breeze in early May, she hurried to home.


    This is the tenth time she has gone to the theater to watch "Titanic". The reason why this movie is so attractive to her is that, in addition to the film being good enough, it is of course the male protagonist.


    It has been more than a month since the last time I watched it. That time I watched it because the movie won a big victory at the Oscars. Although I don¡¯t know much about Oscars, in Wang Lin¡¯s view, Oscars¡¯ status in the American film industry is How can it be compared to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award here?


    As for stepping into the theater this time, she is her favorite movie star, who will soon come to this coastal city.


    Back at home and greeted her parents in the living room, she hurriedly ran back to the room on the second floor, pulled out the address book, and started dialing the number on it.


    "Yang Li, don''t forget, we will meet at the airport exit at 3 o''clock tomorrow afternoon!"


    "Li Qingqing, are the banners we want ready? Remember to write in English and gather at three o''clock tomorrow!"


    "Yingying, I won''t notify you one by one, don''t be late tomorrow..."


    These are the people who have met in recent years. They came together because of their common interests and hobbies, and their common idols came together to form such a small fan organization. And because of the good enough family conditions, she became a temporary principal.


    Putting down the phone, Wang Lin stretched a little lazy waist. Although it was getting a little late, she didn''t have any sleepiness. The excitement of seeing the idol made her extremely excited.


    Speaking of which, I can notice Ryan Jenkins. It''s because when I went to Hong Kong two years ago, I watched the "Cat and Mouse Game" in which he played the genius liar. It''s so amazing, so eye-catching.


    of course. That handsome appearance and free and easy temperament are more charming.


    Since then, she has learned about the world''s No. 1 movie mecca and a superstar with a prestigious reputation.


    She began to frantically collect everything about him, newspapers, books, music and movies. Every time her father went to Hong Kong, she would beg to bring his latest movie tapes or discs. Even the movies he starred in or written when he was a child, she never let it go.


    At this point, she realized that there are men who are younger than her living on the far side of the Pacific Ocean. What a genius and how outstanding he is. After "Titanic", the whole world fell for him.


    She was satisfied, and the friends who came together because of him were also very satisfied. Their idol is so outstanding. It is said that the media on the other side have begun to describe him as "great".


    The only regret is that he is too far away from them. The Pacific Ocean represents not only the distance, but also the complicated relationship between the two countries.


    therefore. They never dared to expect to see him, they could only appreciate his superb performance through various images.


    However, just a few weeks ago, the media in the city where she was located announced the guest list for the opening performance of the upcoming International Fashion Festival, and Ryan Jenkins''s name was on the list.


    Isn''t this a singer with the same name and surname? This was her first thought, because he was too far away from them.


    Next, without waiting for verification, the media confirmed the authenticity of the news. The organizing committee of the International Costume Festival invited Celine Dion, the singer of the theme song of "Titanic" and the actor Ryan Jenkins!


    So happiness came, and they decided to go to the airport to meet their idols and superstars from across the ocean.


    At Zhoushuizi International Airport, hundreds of young men and women gathered at the VIP exit of the airport, and a banner was also pulled up by them. The contrast between Chinese and English on a red background and white characters was very eye-catching.


    If it were a few years earlier, the airport security would surely drive them away, but now, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see, this is just a group of fans who come here to greet their favorite stars.


    Many travelers who came and went in a hurry noticed the Chinese name on the banner and the image on the poster they were holding. They were a little surprised. The lead singer of "Cup of Life" and the star of "Titanic" will appear. at this place?


    Maybe it''s a herd mentality, or maybe I want to see superstars from the other side, more and more people gather here.


    "It''s out, it''s out."


    Hearing the message from her companion, Wang Lin immediately looked at the position of the VIP exit.


    While answering Natalie¡¯s various curious questions, Ryan followed the staff who came to pick up the airport and walked towards the exit. He didn¡¯t have any thoughts of returning home and so on. He had isolated two people in Hong Kong. In front of the river of the world, he has determined where he belongs in this life.


    "Why are there a lot of characters that I have learned from me... and what I saw in Taipei?" Natalie looked at the signs, very strange.


    "Chinese is divided into simplified and traditional. The ones you have seen before are traditional characters, and here are all simplified characters." This kind of thing can be said for several days, and Ryan can only roughly explain it in the simplest language. Something.


    "Unexpectedly, Mr. Jenkins knows us very well." The staff member who took the lead in picking up the airport can naturally understand English.


    "Study a little bit."


    "Make a bet, Ryan." Natalie said in a low voice, "Will there be a large group of fans outside."


    "There must be!" Ryan said triumphantly.


    "I guess there won''t be more than a hundred!" Natalie retorted.


    "What if there are more than a hundred?"


    "Let''s do it." Natalie''s eyes rolled quickly a few times, "Whoever loses, this trip must listen to the winner."


    "no problem!"


    Ryan was very confident. He was deeply touched by how popular Xiao Li was here. Obviously, Natalie didn''t understand this place.


    So when she went out and saw the crowds, Natalie opened her eyes wide. Fortunately, the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose blocked her slightly surprised eyes, otherwise Ryan would definitely welcome Ryan''s mocking eyes.


    Even Ryan himself did not expect that there was a team of nearly a thousand people gathered here, many of whom also held up his posters in "Titanic". Although most of them should be pirated, they can be seen here. In such a situation, he was still a little complacent.


    Especially the high-hanging banner evoked some memories he was about to forget.


    "A warm welcome to Hollywood superstar Ryan Jenkins..."


    However, under the leadership of a beautiful girl with long hair, the shouts erupted from the crowd, making his face a little dark.


    "Xiao Rui! Xiao Rui! Xiao Rui..."


    "Laugh... Rui? What is this?"


    There was a strong local accent in the shout, and Natalie couldn''t help being a little curious, because looking at Ryan''s face, there was obviously something wrong with these words.


    "It''s nothing."


    Ok! Xiao Li in the previous life has become Xiao Rui in this life! Ryan was stunned for a moment, then restored his accustomed attitude, waving at the crowd again and again.


    "Xiao Rui! Xiao Rui! Xiao Rui!"


    Seeing him waving, the crowd burst into cheers, and the shouts became louder.


    Forget it, whether he is Xiao Rui or D Rui! Ryan''s mixed thoughts were thrown aside, and under the protection of George and the pick-up staff, he strode out of the airport.


    Probably there is a police relationship here to maintain order, and the airport is not particularly chaotic. This northern city should not have reached the age when star chasing was the most crazy.


    Moreover, more people in the crowd should be people watching the excitement, and at most one-third of true fans.


    It is not particularly difficult for Ryan to distinguish these.


    "Yes... okay, can I sign it?"


    When Ryan passed through the crowd, he heard bumpy English, and it was the beautiful girl with long hair who was talking.


    "Hello." He took the fountain pen in the girl''s hand, changed Chinese and asked, "May I know your name?"


    Wang Lin didn''t expect that Ryan could speak Chinese. After a moment, she quickly said, "My name is Wang Lin, little...er, Ryan, I like your music and your movies."


    "Thank you!" Ryan smiled and stroked the signature book she handed over¡ªto Wang Lin, may your smile be as bright as the spring sun.


    Finally, he signed his Chinese version of the name below.


    Wang Lin was completely stunned. She never expected that she would get such a special signature. Although the Chinese characters were written crookedly and ugly enough, it was probably the first Chinese written by Ryan Jenkins. Sign it?


    I was really worth it this time. Not only did I meet the prince in my mind, I also talked to him a few words, and even got such a special gift. Say it... No, just look at the companions around you. The eyes are red!


    No, you must protect this precious gift!


    Whoever dares to **** me, I will fight him desperately! Wang Lin looked around in the eyes, clearly with this meaning.


    After quickly signing the name on a few posters, Ryan returned the fountain pen to the girl, and got into the car under the airport security''s clear path through the car window and waved to the crowd outside. Finally disappeared on the avenue outside the airport.


    "Oh my God, he himself is more handsome than in the movie."


    "I''ve heard that in order to win that Oscar, he was on the Titanic, and it is said that he changed his appearance specially."


    "He is so kind. He is not at all like those stars on our side. He is not famous, but his tail can reach the sky."


    "Who knows which hotel he lives in? We went to wait for him at the door of the hotel. These ghosts must have come out to stroll around here."


    "What, you mean ghost?"


    Just now that person immediately became the public enemy of the audience.


    "Wang Lin, what Xiao Rui said to you, I see you still giggling."


    "Yes, Wang Lin, tell us quickly."


    The girl who had the honor to say a few words to Ryan also became the focus of the audience. ()

 Chapter 306： Hollywood star

    Not long after arriving at the hotel where he was staying, Ryan welcomed the visitors, and when faced with the official banquet invitation from the other party, he refused without thinking.


    "I''m very sorry, Mr. Liang, I just got off the plane, and I will perform on stage tomorrow. I need to hurry up and take the jet lag." Although Ryan''s words were tactful, his tone was very firm.


    "Miss Celine Dion will also attend the evening banquet." The other party seemed a little embarrassed.


    "Sorry, I''m really tired." Ryan waved his hand. "I think you definitely don''t want to affect the opening ceremony performance tomorrow because of such a small matter as the banquet."


    Seeing that Ryan didn¡¯t have any room for discussion, this Mr. Liang had to stand up and say goodbye, but when he went out, he was still muttering in his heart, the kid made a terrible excuse. When he refused to participate in the rehearsal, how could he not say that it would affect the opening ceremony? What about the show?


    "George, if anyone comes to look for it, you will receive it."


    Ryan threw the trouble to his bodyguard and assistant, then left the room and knocked on Natalie''s door.


    It¡¯s not that Ryan is deliberately arrogant or playing big names. If he is like Celine Dion, just a pure Hollywood star, it¡¯s not a big deal to accept an official banquet here when participating in commercial performances, but he is not just a Hollywood. Celebrity.


    Under the banner of opening up the market, I came here to participate in commercial performances. By the way, the mainstream society would not care about it, but it would be completely different if I had direct contact with the government.


    Even if Ryan is a political idiot, he understands that there should be less involvement in these things. Politics is the darkest place in Hollywood, and it is countless times more rotten.


    As for whether those people here will be dissatisfied with it, who will take care of them.


    "Ryan, you don''t sleep on jet lag, what are you doing here?" Natalie was wearing her pajamas when she opened the door. Still rubbing his eyes.


    "I''m boring to shoot you, come and accompany you." Ryan walked into the room hugging her, knocking her foot gently. The door closed suddenly.


    "I want to sleep, don''t make trouble." Natalie struggled lightly. Tilted his head to avoid Ryan''s kissed mouth.


    "I''m sleepy too, so I happened to be together."


    Ryan blew away a few strands of brown hair from his lips, and before Natalie refused, he hugged her and walked into the bedroom.


    When her body touched the soft bed, Natalie flattened her mouth and sighed secretly without struggling. Let Ryan hug her tightly from behind, even though her heart is full of **** and pride, but this kind of warm feeling that can be relied on still makes her extremely infatuated.


    of course. She won''t get lost because of this, or let Ryan go too far.


    "That''s it, don''t move." Natalie squeezed the big hands around her waist and curled up half of her body into Ryan''s warm embrace. "After the show is over. Where are we going? Beijing? Shanghai?"


    "Beijing is definitely going to go, Shanghai is fine." Ryan rubbed the hair on the girl''s protruding head with his cheeks, turning his hands and holding the little hands instead.


    "Only to Beijing?" Natalie turned her head.


    "There is another city, I haven''t decided whether to go." Ryan pecked her lips lightly.


    "You always do this." Natalie pressed her forehead to his chin. "Talking and doing things are always half love."


    "Hey, dear Nat, don''t forget to bet that you lose this afternoon, and this journey must follow my arrangements completely." Ryan reminded.


    "Is there?" Natalie looked surprised, not deliberate at all, "I forgot."


    "It seems that someone should have intermittent memory loss." Ryan calmly held Natalie''s two wrists with one hand, "I think there are ways to always restore her memory."


    "What are you going to do?" Natalie saw something called danger from Ryan''s eyes, "I..."


    Before she could say anything, Ryan''s mouth was blocked by Ryan. Amidst the struggle of "Well", her tongue was first sucked into that familiar place, and then she slowly closed her eyes, wanting to enjoy it thoroughly. A deep kiss between lovers.


    But how could Ryan easily let her go, the empty hand slipped from Natalie''s waist in an instant, quickly unfastened the buckle, slipped in, constantly changing the rhythm with the flexible **** practiced by playing the piano .


    Her squinted eyes suddenly widened, and Natalie put her legs together and twisted her body slightly, as if she wanted to struggle.


    "Ryan, don''t, don''t do this..." Natalie begged in a low voice, "Quick, let me go."


    Ryan¡¯s eyes flashed a little joke, and the rhythm of her fingers suddenly changed from Chopin¡¯s fourth waltz to Beethoven¡¯s Moonlight Sonata. After Natalie said ¡°Ah¡±, she bit her lower lip tightly, her head After the explosion, the whole person seemed to have passed through the thick hotel floor and flew into the sky.


    This was a feeling she had never reached before, when she was lying in the bathtub using her fingers and fantasizing about Ryan.


    Bastard! Natalie cursed in her heart, this **** actually used this method to make herself shameful...


    Seeing the girl''s blurred eyes, Ryan instinctively wanted to go one step further, but Natalie''s recovery speed far exceeded his expectations. Before he could move more, with two rows of silver teeth, Has bitten on his ear viciously.


    "Oh, **** it, Nat!"


    "Ryan, I''m going to kill you!"


    "Hey, dear, you are crossing the river to demolish the bridge."


    "Ryan Jenkins, don''t think I will care about you today and go back to your own room!"


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    There were shouts in the Golden State Stadium, and tens of thousands of people outside the stadium were crowded waiting to enter the stadium. There were also many people who did not have tickets, holding high signs, hoping to buy scalper tickets or transfer tickets.


    For this coastal city, this is an unprecedented event. The opportunity to witness Ryan Jenkins'' performance is rare.


    what? I wonder who Ryan Jenkins is?


    Have you watched "Titanic"? Have you watched "Jurassic Park"? Have you ever heard of "My Heart Eternal"?


    If someone asks questions, the people around will naturally explain to them what this superstar from Hollywood has done.


    what? Do not know at all?


    Well, you should have heard of "Cup of Life", right? If you don''t even know this football song that is popular all over the world, don''t say you are from the football city.


    Oh~ It turned out to be the Jack who died in the sea, and the kid who sang "Gougougougou". Many people suddenly realized that we have invited an amazing world-class star this time.


    "Hello, Celine. Hello, Renee."


    Before entering the exclusive dressing room backstage, Ryan met two ¡®comrades¡¯.


    "Hi, Ryan, I didn''t expect you to come too." Rennie, with white temples, stepped forward, looking very affectionate.


    You know, after the song "My Heart Is Eternal", Celine Dion has completely secured her position as a queen.


    "I heard Celine agreed, so I came here specifically." Ryan joked casually, "How do you feel here."


    "In general, it''s not bad, but the diet is not suitable." Celine Dion smiled playfully.


    "Oh, I also plan to invite you two to have an authentic Chinese meal after the show."


    Hearing Ryan said so, Rennie waved his hand, "Forget it, when I return to Los Angeles, I will treat him."


    Although he didn''t participate in the rehearsal, Ryan knew the specific process a long time ago. The order of his appearances is considered to be at the back, and it seems that he has to wait a long time.


    Natalie didn''t come, but hid in the hotel. Even if the entertainment center is far away from the world, even if the professional paparazzi hasn''t appeared, she still doesn''t want to put herself under Ryan''s aura.


    This evening party called "We Walk with the World" invited many big-name celebrities. From the open door of the dressing room, Ryan could see the big names familiar to him in previous lives, but in the eyes of George and others around him Here, those people are just ordinary people in a foreign land.


    Occasionally someone looked at him with hesitation and seemed to want to come in to say hello. When they saw the wary gaze of a few guys in black suits like George, they immediately gave up this plan.


    Ryan has no plans to get to know them either. His career is in Hollywood and only in Hollywood. For him in this life, this is a vast market waiting to be developed.


    "Relax, George." Looking at Mr. Bodyguard, who was on high alert, Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head. "As a guest invited by this country, you never need to worry about safety."


    Seeing George nodded, but didn''t mean to relax, Ryan didn''t bother to say anything. Some understandings were deeply ingrained and could not be dispelled by a few words.


    The party soon kicked off, maintaining the usual style. After the lengthy XX talks, XX VIPs talked, and then XX talks again Ryan, who made boring. I wonder if it''s really cost-effective to come here to perform by the way.


    However, thinking of the news from Paramount¡¯s staff here, it is said that the party will be broadcast live across the country, and even a special music program on a certain Chinese station. This is a great opportunity to promote yourself, and the effect may be better than that of Pai It''s even better for Ramon to invest huge advertising expenses.


    Ryan did not come here to perform for the appearance fee of 500,000 US dollars, and express his attitude appropriately within the appropriate scope, and at the same time increase his reputation here and the income in the next few years. It will be of great benefit.


    As long as they can lean towards themselves when introducing movies, then this trip is worth it.


    At this party, the other party did come up with a big deal, not only invited him and Celine Dion, but also the black-hearted old man of the International Olympic Committee, and even the former U.S. Secretary of State Hegel. Appeared in the VIP table.


    Of course, these have nothing to do with Ryan, and he has no plans to deal with these political figures.


    When he came on stage, he was a Hollywood star, a Hollywood star from across the ocean. ()

 Chapter 307： Obsessed

    ps:


    Four more today


    When Celine Dion appeared in the stadium on an extended Lincoln and sang "My Heart Is Eternal", the atmosphere on the scene reached the first stage, just like a previous life. Stars from Europe and the United States will get more here. High treatment, not to mention, the one who is singing is still the queen of American music.


    Listening to the tide of cheers outside, Ryan kept adjusting his state. He hadn''t appeared on the official stage for too long, and he almost forgot that feeling.


    Although nearly 100,000 spectators came to the scene, he did not feel nervous or uneasy at all.


    For someone who has performed the opening concert of the Grammy Awards and was praised as the best live performance in the history of the Grammy, this kind of scene is just a trivial matter.


    "Ryan, it''s time to play." George walked over to remind.


    "Ok."


    Nodded, under the leadership of a staff member, Ryan walked towards the front desk.


    "I believe many people have watched "Titanic". In the past six months or so, this movie has taken the world by storm. Just now, Miss Celine Dion sang the theme song of the movie "My Heart Is Eternal" for us. I think many people don¡¯t know, who is the songwriter of this song?"


    Standing behind the curtain on the side of the stage, Ryan waited quietly for the host to introduce him, "Actually, the songwriter of this song is the same person as the scriptwriter and the actor of the movie!"


    It seems that most people don''t really know, but Qi Qi made a surprised "Wow" in response to the words of the hostess below the stage.


    "At this party, we not only invited Miss Celine Dion, but also invited this amazing young man from the United States. Let me invite Ryan Jenkins!"


    Waved to the front, Ryan stepped onto the stage, "Hello, friends from China."


    I probably didn''t expect that the people on the stage would greet them in almost standard Chinese, and the audience was stunned for a while. Then there was an overwhelming sound, completely suppressing the live sound.


    Ryan naturally knows the psychology of most people in this period. With the increase of national power, they urgently need the recognition of the world, and a superstar from the world''s largest country, proficiently using their language to greet them, It will definitely get considerable recognition.


    "Maybe some friends don''t know me, introduce yourself, I am the guy who played football in "Cup of Life" and Shen Hai in "Titanic"."


    Familiar voice. Kind attitude and playful jokes. Instantly narrowed the distance between the stage and the stage. After going around the stage roughly, Ryan continued, "Tonight''s first song, "". My love!"


    The soothing piano sound played slowly, and after a short intro, Ryan raised the microphone.


    "The empty street,


    Empty house, empty heart,


    I''m so lonely,


    The boundless loneliness surrounds me,


    I don''t know what''s wrong with me,


    I don''t understand why this happens.


    I want to know where they are,


    Those days we spent together,


    The songs we sang together,


    ¡­


    my sweetheart,


    I always persisted.


    But getting such a love is so far away,


    So I prayed in a low voice, hoping that my dream would take me there,


    There is a clear blue sky, where I can see you again,


    my sweetheart¡­"


    The wide stadium is silent, everyone can listen to Ryan''s singing attentively. Although this song has not been officially released on this land, it is accompanied by tape recorders in the streets and countless pirated tapes. In their ears, this can be regarded as one of their most familiar English songs.


    This is a worthless saliva song criticized by music critics. It can be spread so widely in past lives. Naturally, there is a reason for it. This is also the reason why Ryan chose this song. Is it to say that he wants to sing on the occasion and will soon be praised by those guys "Farewell, the English Rose"?


    Of course, this kind of song also has huge shortcomings. The soothing rhythm can hardly arouse the emotions of the audience.


    But don''t forget, Ryan also prepared a second song, a soothing and passionate cooperation, that can leave a deep impression on people.


    The singing was gone, and the applause rang out. Although it was very enthusiastic, it was far less than Celine Dion''s "My Heart Is Eternal".


    This kind of soothing love song has a natural disadvantage in driving the atmosphere of the scene. In addition, Ryan has already put aside his singing career in recent years. Without long-term rigorous practice, the standard will inevitably decline.


    "Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!"


    But even so, the charm he showed still attracted countless people to shout in unison.


    "Just yesterday afternoon, when I was out of the airport, I suddenly found a lot of people gathered outside the airport. Only then did I realize that I was in this ancient land and had strong supporters. I liked the culture of the East very much. You shouldn''t doubt it? I can speak fluent Chinese."


    His words caused a burst of kind laughter from below, and Ryan continued to say, ¡°At that time, I saw their carefully crafted banners, heard every word they said, and felt the enthusiasm from China. I remembered the names of a few people. Let me think about it. One of them is called... Wang Lin. I also signed her in Chinese. I don¡¯t know if she is sitting underneath."


    "Wang Lin, Ryan is talking about you, he must be talking about you!"


    In the seats at the bottom left of the stage, a few girls yelled loudly without noticing that the person they were talking to had already burst into tears with excitement.


    "The last song is dedicated to this beautiful city, to all friends in China, and also to the girl named Wang Lin."


    Ryan''s left hand slowly pointed to the sky, "The Cup of Life, are you ready?"


    "Ready!"


    Obviously, what he said just now aroused a strong resonance from below, and the voice that came at this time was unusually neat and loud.


    "!"


    After Ryan¡¯s loud shout, the drums rang and the horns rang in unison, and the throbbing rhythm spread to every corner of the stadium.


    This is the song that can most arouse people''s emotions. This is the most suitable song for live singing, and it is also a song that can make the singer burst into passion.


    Maybe it''s the warm-up with the previous song, or maybe this kind of opportunity to sing on the stage will become less and less when the accompaniment plays. Ryan''s big heart throbbed vigorously, and the fast-flowing blood aroused his high emotions. The long-lost state returned instantly.


    The Latin dance steps are far from being up to the ¡®international¡¯ standards, but they are full of passion.


    Shaking his shoulders did not disperse, but became the leader of the audience.


    "Life is pure enthusiasm, it should be full of love, and make a living from it!


    The mind must fight to win, just like every inspirational story.


    Although it is full of cruelty, you must fight for your ideals!


    Persevere in glory to win this supreme trophy...


    Fight for survival.


    Fight for it! Yes it is!


    Fight for it! That''s right! "


    The fully seated Golden State Stadium is Ryan''s stage. It is also a stage where countless fans and movie fans who support him show off their style to their heart''s content. Nearly 100,000 people who love him sing together at this time.


    "!...Ale! ale! ale!


    Move forward, the world is under our feet!


    ! ¡­Ale! ale! ale! "


    Countless people who admired him swayed their arms in the air, countless bodies twisted and danced to the rhythm of the strong Latin music, countless voices called the same name "Ryan!"


    Applause, whistle, cheers, singing. The entire stadium flew high up like fiery magma rushing out of the ground, and these countless voices finally converged into a heart-thrilling chorus of thousands of people, echoing the world.


    "Life is like a race,


    You should be a champion,


    The cup of life is a blessing,


    You must get her! "


    Raising the arms, raising the arms non-stop, is such a simple action, thousands of viewers are incited like obsessed. The roar was unbreakable, causing the venue to numb and the stands to tremble.


    "!...Ale! ale! ale!


    Move forward, the world is under our feet!


    ! ¡­Ale! ale! ale! "


    This sonorous and exciting song broke through the language barrier and transcended geographical limitations. Through the live broadcast, he flew to various places in this vast land.


    At this moment, Ryan Jenkins has become the most-read name and Hollywood...No, it should be one of the most prestigious foreign stars in this land.


    "Thank you China! Thank you Chinese friends! Thank you!"


    When the drums were over and the horn stopped, Ryan kept shouting these words to the surroundings, and the whole world only knew what he meant.


    "Great performance."


    After Ryan stepped off the stage, Celine Dion was standing in front of the passageway and immediately sent a congratulatory hug, "If it were not for the limitations of equipment and venues, this would definitely be comparable to the 1994 Gley The opening performance of the United States!"


    "Thank you, Celine."


    Perhaps it is the relationship between the Chinese spoken on the stage. On the way Ryan walked back to the dressing room, many local performers, UU reading also sent congratulatory words one after another.


    He maintained the necessary courtesy, lightly shook every hand that was extended, and said politely, "Thank you!"


    There is no doubt that Ryan¡¯s "Cup of Life" is the show of the party. After the show, it is naturally a low point. The local or Hong Kong and Taiwan stars who came behind him and played the finale were not only caught in a lack of response. In embarrassment.


    Of course, these have nothing to do with Ryan.


    After changing the costumes, he quickly packed his belongings, and quickly asked George to negotiate with the organizer, wanting to leave here quickly.


    He didn''t want to wait for tens of thousands of people to watch after the game was over.


    But what Ryan didn''t expect was that George brought back some amazing news that the TV station in this city wanted to take advantage of the craze of this performance to conduct an exclusive interview with him.


    "What do you think, George?"


    "Ryan, should you ask Pat about this kind of thing?" Mr. Bodyguard didn''t make any comments. ()

 Chapter 308： 1 way south

    If the last four years pass, Ryan will definitely be interviewed, but now is not the time. Although the relationship between the two sides of the Pacific has not reached the freezing point, it is not much better.


    Accepting an interview with the official media at this time will only give people an offensive statement.


    Political correctness and conformity to the mainstream value orientation are the rules of the game that must be followed by those who have reached his position.


    So early the next morning, Ryan left the city by plane and officially started the agreed trip with Natalie.


    "Damn it, I have studied Chinese for so many years, but when I get here, I can''t even read a newspaper smoothly."


    On the two adjacent seats in the first class cabin, Natalie was holding the newspaper she bought before boarding the plane, constantly complaining to Ryan, "Why didn''t you tell me when I was learning Chinese?"


    "This..." Ryan scratched his head, looked at the extremely real girl, and smiled apologetically, "I forgot."


    Fortunately, regardless of whether it is simplified or traditional, it is always square characters. Under Ryan''s guidance, Natalie finally finished reading the report about yesterday''s party, especially the paragraph about Ryan.


    "It''s crazy and wild!"


    This is the title about Ryan singing.


    "According to the rules of the concert, Ryan Jenkins'' performance last night was extremely brilliant. This superstar from the other side of the Pacific has used music to bring the audience''s passion, and the entertaining audience is the cutest group, at least recently. For several years of domestic concerts, there has not been such an exciting collective engagement scene."


    "Maybe someone will ask Ryan? Who is Jenkins? He is the creator of "Jurassic Park" and "True Lies", the football boy who sings''!!!'', or standing on the Titanic. Jack shouting, "I am the king of the world"."


    "Although "Titanic" is the most popular movie in the country and even in the world since last year, if you don''t introduce him, I believe that many people still don''t know him. This superstar from Hollywood is just over eighteen years old. In film, in popular music, and even in literature, they have made remarkable achievements. The creation and starring of "Titanic" won a record twelve in the highest honor of the American film industry at the Oscar Awards. Awards, the global box office has exceeded 2 billion U.S. dollars..."


    "Even though he is less than Double Ten, Ryan Jenkins has the demeanor of a master and also demonstrated the rare American understanding of China, as evidenced by his fluent Mandarin."


    "Actually, the master also has something that Yu does not conceal. For example, his "Di" is incomparable, but his "Latin" dance steps are indeed not up to the "National Standard" grade. His shoulder shaking is not "broken". Of course. He sings mainly. Jumping as a supplementary, cannot be perfect. However, if you listen carefully, Ryan Jenkins''s music is really good. But it is not enough to break through. In many places, he relies on the backing vocals and the harmony of the accompaniment to strengthen his power. Compared with the older generation of Chinese artists with both virtue and art, there is a gap. In this regard, this young master will continue to work hard to improve his artistic accomplishment..."


    Natalie closed the newspaper, too lazy to read it any more, and said with her lips curled. "After writing so much, I thought they were complimenting you. It turns out that the last few sentences are the main point."


    "For them, we are all outsiders." Ryan gently rubbed her brown curly hair. "Of course the best compliment must be reserved for her own."


    "You bastard." Natalie threw his hand back unceremoniously. Warn softly, "You are not allowed to touch me in the future without my permission."


    As he said, his face blushed, and then he returned to normal. Obviously remembering what happened that night, he couldn''t help glaring at Ryan fiercely.


    I am here to help you solve your normal physiological needs! Although she wanted to argue for herself, Ryan knew that if she said this, Natalie would at least bite herself, and then she would not speak to herself for two days.


    After arriving at the Capital Airport, the two of them simply took a rest and went directly to the Forbidden City. This is one of the few attractions that Natalie knows, and the name of the world''s largest palace complex is indeed very attractive. .


    Crossing the Jinshui Bridge, the two of them moved forward. Among the visitors were many white people with high noses and deep eyes. They were stuck in sunglasses. Although they were conspicuous, no one recognized who they were.


    "This is called the Meridian Gate. It is the place where the emperor of ancient China killed people." Ryan pointed to the two large characters on the wall of the red palace and introduced Natalie.


    "You know a lot, Ryan."


    Seeing Natalie''s puzzled eyes, Ryan took out the travel brochure from his backpack and threw it over, "There is a detailed introduction on it."


    He came to this place for the first time in his two lifetimes, and all he knew was basic common sense.


    "Why is it called the Meridian Gate? Why do you want to kill people here?" Natalie was very curious, walked to the bottom of the palace gate, and still asked Ryan, "Why did the emperor kill people in front of his palace? Does this have a special meaning?"


    "This one¡­¡­"


    Ryan was a little dumbfounded, he really didn''t know this, so he had to say, "Probably the emperor Laozi likes it."


    "cut."


    Wrinkling her nose, Natalie walked toward the depths of the palace gate, and at the same time a faint sentence floated, "Ryan, you still claim to have studied Eastern culture, but you don''t even know this."


    "Dear Nat." Ryan ran after him and retorted, "Don''t talk about us Westerners, even if we are Chinese, those who can tell this are only a few of the few."


    "Don''t make excuses for yourself." Natalie smiled faintly at the corner of her mouth. It was obvious that this little revenge made her feel very good.


    Ryan probably saw something, and simply closed his mouth, holding the travel sketch of the palace, guiding the two people in the direction of the tour, and gradually walked into the harem.


    "Is this the place where the emperor''s wife lives?"


    Natalie looked curiously at the high palace wall and the long passage in the middle of the palace wall. "The book says that the ancient emperor could marry seventy-two wives."


    "Huh huh~" Ryan nodded, "The seventy-two concubines of the Sixth Court of San Gong, this is the treatment of the emperor."


    "You seem to be envious." Natalie''s faint words sounded again.


    "What is enviable about this." Ryan said while pulling the girl forward, "For the past and present, I don''t know how many emperors have been put on green hats by other men."


    "It seems that men were not allowed to come in here at that time?" Natalie couldn''t help but remember the introductions in some books she had read.


    "There are men here...ah, no, strictly speaking they are not men." Is the **** still a man?


    "Why?" the girl asked curiously.


    "Because they were all castrated." Ryan made a knife cut gesture.


    "Castration?" Natalie asked, "What is that? I can''t think of the meaning of this Chinese word."


    "That''s..." Ryan glanced down at Natalie''s lower body, "Cut off the men and make them eunuchs so that they can''t have an affair with the women in the harem."


    "It turned out to be so."


    Natalie, who suddenly realized that, unconsciously looked at Ryan''s vitals, wondering if she should castrate him when the guy on the other side spoils him again?


    "Nate, what are you thinking?" Ryan suddenly felt a cold sweat coming out of his back.


    "It''s nothing." Natalie grabbed him and turned into the courtyard next to him. "I''m wondering, is there something you said too..."


    Before she finished speaking, Natalie laughed happily.


    The pavilions and buildings seemed fresh at first glance, but they were actually like that when they were seen too much. In addition, the weather in May started to become hot. Ryan and Natalie did not stay much longer. After a few laps, they walked out through the back door. This famous palace complex.


    The two turned around from the back door, and then went around the front door square, far apart. Looking at the red tower, Ryan suddenly remembered things that he had seen in his previous life and didn''t know the truth or not.


    "You know, Nat." Ryan pointed to the square and said, "A few years ago, Michael Jackson wanted to come to this city for a concert."


    Natalie didn''t understand what Ryan meant, and made a continued gesture.


    "It is said that Sony Records contacted the organizer here and even ordered the stadium, but after Michael came, he changed his mind and wanted to move the concert venue to this square."


    "It''s not strange, is it?" Natalie said naturally, "Although I don''t know it very well, I remember that he seems to have held a lot of square concerts."


    Ryan shook his head, turned to look in the direction of the tower, and continued, ¡°If it¡¯s just held in the square, maybe it¡¯s a little bit possible, but after he came here to see it, he made a new suggestion, on the day of the concert. , Replaced the portrait on the tower with his, so..."


    Listening to Ryan''s words, Natalie showed a thoughtful look. Although she didn''t know much about it, she had learned Chinese for so long and knew something about it.


    "This is just a rumor in the circle. Whether it is true or not, you can only ask Michael himself or the senior management of Sony Records to verify ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Ryan quickly added the disclaimer.


    "What are the people in the long line doing?"


    "I don''t know." Ryan looked at the time. "Let''s go back to the hotel."


    In the next two days, Ryan took Natalie to several of the most famous attractions, such as the Temple of Heaven, the Great Wall, and the Summer Palace, all leaving their footprints.


    The two even went to Dashilan to buy a lot of unique souvenirs.


    "Didn''t you say you want to go to another city? Why did you change your mind again?" Natalie was surprised while waiting for the flight to Taipei in the airport lounge.


    "Nothing to look good." Ryan waved his hand casually. "Let''s go to your hometown and have a look."


    Since the identity of this world cannot be changed, why bother to make nostalgia anymore.


    When the plane soared into the sky and entered the route to the south, Ryan glanced at the land through the window of the plane. He didn''t know how long he would have to wait next time. ()

 Chapter 309： Jerusalem

    After arriving in Taipei, Ryan and his team changed to their own planes. They did not continue to stay in the Far East. After waiting for the route, they flew directly to Natalie''s hometown, the holy city of Jerusalem.


    This city is located in the mountains of Judah between the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean. It is the holy city of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Jerusalem is its pronunciation. If it is interpreted literally, it is the "city of peace".


    But the irony is that since ancient times, the war around the holy city has never disappeared.


    Jerusalem is now the capital of Israel. Although the United Nations and most countries in the world do not recognize it, the city is firmly in the hands of the Jews.


    Now that they are in the holy city, Ryan and Natalie are naturally going to visit several holy places.


    In front of the huge stone wall, hundreds of Jews or Jewish descent stood there with solemn faces, and tears were rolling down the corners of many people''s eyes.


    For thousands of years, when Jews living in all corners of the world returned to the holy city of Jerusalem, they would come to this stone wall to pray in low voices and cried out the suffering of exile, so this place is called the "Wailing Wall".


    "You don''t believe in Judaism, so you don''t need to cry." Natalie reminded in a low voice.


    "I remember your family doesn''t believe in Judaism, right?"


    The two walked to the ¡®Wailing Wall¡¯, Ryan straightened the hat on his head, followed Natalie¡¯s movements, and put on a pious prayer.


    Natalie first supported the wall with her hand, and then stuffed a note full of words into the cracks in the wall. Her pious face, like the stone on the''wailing wall'', glowed like weeping. As in the case.


    Although he is a Jewish descent, Ryan doesn''t understand these things. In the principle of saying less and making mistakes, he has no extra words or extra actions. After all, this is not only the boundary between Eurasia, but also the first holy place for the Jews.


    And the girls around them are about their own nation. Have an extraordinary sense of identity.


    As a bystander and an atheist in a previous life, Ryan could not understand the God in the minds of the Jews. It is also incomprehensible that all the people are soldiers and face several national wars on the first day of the founding of the nation.


    But he still maintains the necessary respect, which has nothing to do with faith, nor blood, but only with interests.


    In any case, the Jewish identity is for his development in Hollywood. Provides too many hidden conveniences.


    "What''s on the note?"


    After walking out of the square where the Wailing Wall was, Ryan took off his yarmulke and put on his own baseball cap.


    "It''s a prayer, a prayer about the future. It''s a secret." Natalie looked back and saw that George and other bodyguards were following behind, shook her head, "Ryan, the security here is not what you think. So bad. This is the Jewish Quarter."


    "Hmm~" Ryan nodded, noncommittal.


    "Go to the Avenue of the Righteous and the Holocaust Memorial?" Natalie naturally knew Ryan''s other purpose for coming here.


    Unlike the ¡®Wailing Wall¡¯, these two places carry the most tragic history of the Jews. Perhaps both of them participated in the filming of "Schindler¡¯s List", a cruel history of fifty years ago. All have their own understanding.


    Because of the limitation of the area, the latest "righteous people" certified by the Israeli government no longer planted trees to commemorate, but the righteous people here maintain a considerable number, and Ryan and Natalie turned around a few times, soon Found his goal, the most famous of all righteous people-Oscar Schindler.


    The influence of "Schindler''s List" is enormous. Such a character who was originally unknown and can only be passed on by word of mouth among some Jews, with the help of this movie, has completely become a hero and has won the whole world. The memory and admiration of the Jews.


    As Spielberg and others have said, no matter what his original intention was to save people, it is an indisputable fact that he has saved so many Jews.


    Standing quietly under the tree for a while, the two turned around and walked into the Jerusalem Holocaust Memorial.


    This memorial is 5,000 feet long, and the shape is the lower triangle of the big satellite. The missing part of the upper triangle symbolizes the 6 million Jews who were slaughtered in World War II, which is nearly half the number of Jews at that time.


    Walking into the memorial hall is like entering a space-time tunnel. In order to show respect for the dead, you can¡¯t take pictures or speak loudly. Everyone will send a headset before entering. On the huge screen that came, some children were singing. This was the "Song of Hope" by some Polish Jewish children before World War II.


    "This is Israel''s national anthem." Natalie whispered.


    Maybe others didn''t know it, but she knew that this guy next to her hadn''t even read the Bible and didn''t know much about Jewish history.


    Ryan nodded, and did not say much, but to experience all of this with his heart and all his energy. According to the predetermined plan, his role next year is bound to intersect with the Holocaust again. The experience here is for him. It is certainly helpful to grasp the role.


    In addition to this is Natalie''s hometown, this is also one of the reasons why he made a special trip to Jerusalem.


    Following Natalie, Ryan entered the "Memorial Hall of Names", which is the most dramatic memorial space in the memorial. The 30-foot-tall conical structure opens up to the sky, and on the top is placed the millions of Jews who died in the Holocaust. Names and personal records, below are cones carved out of natural rock beds to commemorate those nameless victims.


    Looking at the densely stacked archives on the surrounding shelves, Ryan didn¡¯t know what to say. When the Israeli government built the memorial, it vowed to find every Jew who was slaughtered. So far, it has established detailed information for more than one million people. And the work of collecting clues about the dead Jews around the world is still in progress.


    Including Ryan and Natalie, those who visited the memorial kept silent and seldom spoke. Even if they needed to communicate occasionally, they would try to keep their voices down.


    Finally, they came to the Children''s Memorial Hall.


    In the darkness, the three candles were reflected by the mirror with countless light and shadow, like stars in the night sky, without any pictures or images, only the name and age of each dead child were continuously broadcast on the radio. This is a pair of American citizens. A memorial donated by Jewish couples to commemorate 150,000 children who died early in the Holocaust.


    In fact, since the filming of "Schindler''s List", Ryan has donated millions of dollars to this memorial through the National Jewish Association. If he removes his sunglasses and hat and reports his name, he will definitely Received a warm reception by the Israeli authorities.


    After leaving the memorial hall, the two went to Mount Zion. There are many tombstones of "righteous people". One of them is a Chinese. The Israeli government specially built the tombstone of He Fengshan here to commemorate this "life and death visa". ''The issuer.


    "This is the Jew, we have a clear love and hate. We will remember everyone who has helped us, and we will not let go of any executioner who slaughtered the Jews." Perhaps seeing Ryan staring at the handwriting on the tombstone in a daze, Na Tally said this in a low voice, and then asked, "Will it help you?"


    "Be brave and stay strong." Ryan took Natalie''s hand, "I think I have a lot of things."


    "Want to listen to a song?"


    This is a very rare thing. Natalie wants to sing to him. Ryan nodded quickly, "Okay."


    Natalie coughed slightly, cleared her throat, and started singing in a low voice.


    "As long as our hearts,


    It also hides the soul of the Jews,


    Eyes towards the east,


    Still looking at the top of Mount Zion,


    Two thousand years of hope,


    It won''t go to nothing,


    We will be free people,


    Based in Zion and Jerusalem. "


    Thinking back to the icy movie in his mind, Ryan shook Natalie''s hand firmly, "Thank you, Nat."


    "I hope it can be of some help to you."


    Natalie touched his shoulder lightly with her forehead, and said complicatedly, "Are you going to use this role to hit the best actor?"


    "This is just one of the roles I prepared."


    Seeing Natalie''s somewhat complicated look, Ryan said, "Nat..."


    "Ryan!" Natalie naturally understood what Ryan was going to say, and quickly interrupted, "You have helped me too much. Because of you, almost no one makes things difficult for me. Can I try it myself? If not, If you do, I will take the initiative to speak."


    "okay then."


    After the "Star Wars" series, Natalie will be completely popular in the United States. The most difficult period for her transformation will only appear in a few years, and it will not be too late for her to make a move.


    "Have you been authorized by Mr. Spearman?"


    In the car back to the hotel, Natalie was still asking about the notebook.


    "It has been negotiated. According to the agreement reached, half of the proceeds from this movie in the future will be donated to the Jewish Survivors Organization."


    "When do you plan to start shooting?"


    "Probably next year." Ryan seemed to think of Oscar again, "I''m only eighteen years old, don''t worry, there will always be opportunities."


    "What about the director? Which director are you going to look for? Mr. Spielberg?" Natalie suddenly laughed playfullyRyan, aren''t you a top student at the USC Film School? You might as well direct yourself. ? "


    "I am not interested in the job of director."


    How could Ryan couldn''t hear Natalie''s weird accent when she said the word "high-achieving student", and she quickly shook her head.


    "If one day I become a director, the first movie will be shot in Jerusalem." Natalie looked at the khaki building outside the window, talking to herself and Ryan. "Don''t forget, you said at the beginning that if I became a director, you would publicly declare on the three major TV networks that Ryan Jenkins is not as good as Natalie Portman."


    "Dear Nat, please don''t confuse the concept." Ryan will naturally not forget what he said at the time, "My promise is after you win the Oscar for Best Director!"


    "Really? I seem to have forgotten." Natalie''s expression was very serious.


    "Nate, I think you need my reminder again." Ryan glanced at him maliciously. ()

 Chapter 310： Arrive in Cannes

    Although it is called Global Travel, due to the ages of two people and other unspeakable scruples, they cannot really travel to the most famous cities in the world. They can only choose a few cities to have a fun. .


    What''s more, Natalie is currently in high school, and she will definitely be under academic pressure if she wants to enter an Ivy League school.


    During the period, her father, Mr. Avner, called her satellite phone several times, asking where Natalie went after the filming and why she didn''t return to New York. The two quarreled on the phone.


    "I''m going to be seventeen years old soon. I''m grown up, not those ignorant girls." When leaving Jerusalem, Natalie once complained to Ryan, "I know that Dad loves me very much, but he is too conservative. Yes, he wants me to follow too many rules. Even if I move out of the house, I feel like a poor bird with only its wings tied."


    Shrugging, Ryan didn''t say anything. It''s definitely the wrong choice to mix up this kind of family affairs.


    A week later, after passing through cities such as Rome and Madrid, Ryan and Natalie came to Paris. This is the last stop of their itinerary and the place where the two will be separated.


    After today, Natalie needs to rush back to New York, and Ryan will go to Cannes to participate in the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.


    "Saving Private Ryan" will be the opening film of this Cannes Film Festival.


    In the previous life, this film participated in the Venice Film Festival. Perhaps it was the reason why Ryan participated in this film. DreamWorks put its premiere in Cannes, which will soon be the anniversary of the landing of Normandy, France. The country where Omaha Beach is located, couldn''t be more appropriate.


    After all, this is Paris, one of the most active paparazzi cities in the world, Ryan and Natalie each have their own thoughts. No longer like the previous journey, you can go out to hang out unscrupulously.


    Besides, this city. Neither he nor Natalie have been here more than once.


    at dusk. The two of them took large sunglasses, lowered their hats, and walked out of the hotel on the banks of the Seine. They wandered along the shore together, admiring the bright river water under the sunset, and the romantic French men and women.


    it''s here. You can see pictures of lovers kissing at will, even more wild and affectionate.


    "God gave the best piece of land to France, and later felt that it was unfair to other countries, and created the French on this land."


    Listening to Natalie''s comment on the Frenchman she met on the road. Ryan sighed, "Speak nicely. French people want to enjoy life, but awkwardly, French people are too lazy. They do things chaotically and carelessly."


    "But they are the most famous liberals in the world." Natalie simply took Ryan and sat in an outdoor cafe by the Seine. After ordering two cups of coffee, she continued in a low voice, "Although I do I don¡¯t like the French very much. But it cannot be denied that the concepts of freedom, equality and fraternity have entered the soul of this country."


    "Freedom? Fraternity?" Ryan held up the coffee cup, sips lightly, and retorted, "You know, Nat. The French enjoy the best leisure time in the world, but they are still not satisfied. Strikes. September is the time to resume work at the end of the holidays, and it is also the best time to organize a general strike. They have Christmas in winter, spring break in spring, paid vacation in summer, and strikes in autumn. You can travel throughout the year. Oh."


    "This is Paris, Ryan." Natalie deliberately looked at the few tables around her. "Be careful to be heard by the French and throw you into the Seine."


    The two are like ordinary couples, occasionally joking with each other. When the topic tends to be flat, they will find out the mistakes in each other''s words, stab each other a few words, and talk about the happy place. He would giggle, even when he fell silent, his eyes would stare at each other closely.


    After today, they will be parted temporarily, and it doesn''t have to be long to see you next time.


    "Na... Nat?"


    A brown-haired girl walked into the cafe, still a little uncertain at first, and smiled happily when she walked over, "Nate, it''s really you! Why did you come to Paris?"


    "Mira." The embarrassment on Natalie''s face was fleeting, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Mira, please sit down."


    After the other party sat down, Ryan glanced at her calmly. This is a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although it is a little different from when she grows up, the name from Natalie and the Long Island girl are not bad. In an affectionate manner, he roughly thought of who the other party was.


    "Nate, this is your boyfriend?" She looked at Ryan curiously, and immediately recognized who it was, "You are Ryan! Hello, Ryan, this is Mira, Mila Kunis Last year, we saw the rehearsal theater of "Annie Diary" in New York."


    "Hello, nice to see you again, Mira."


    After saying hello, Ryan called in the waiter and ordered coffee for the other party, "I heard Nat talk about you, did you come to Paris by yourself?"


    "Ah, no, when I came to Paris with my mother, I didn''t expect to meet you and Nat here."


    As she said, she showed an unusually gossip look like a little girl, "Are you two dating?"


    "Mira!"


    Before Ryan could speak, Natalie retorted, "We are just friends, relax here after filming the movie."


    "Ah..." Mila Kunis prolonged the ending and looked at Natalie with a playful look, "It''s just a friend, I understand."


    "Just do whatever you want." With Natalie''s character, naturally she wouldn''t be too entangled in this aspect.


    Ryan didn¡¯t speak, and looked at the two girls quietly, talking and laughing. From Natalie¡¯s expression and words, he could tell that these two people should be regarded as close friends, even if they can¡¯t reach Natalie. The place with Scarlett is much more intimate than her friends at school.


    He vaguely remembered that Natalie and Mila Kunis had a good relationship because of co-starring in "Anne Frank''s Diary", and later even met Macaulay, who was in the quagmire, through her. Culkin became an irresistible acquaintance with the other party.


    "So you''re going back to New York tomorrow? Have the tickets been booked? Why don''t we go together?" It was Mila Kunis.


    "This one¡­¡­"


    Natalie pointed to Ryan, "I''m flying on his private jet."


    "That''s great!" Mila Kunis'' excited voice attracted the curious eyes of many people around her. She stuck out her tongue and quickly lowered her voice, "I have never been on a private jet before, we How are you together, Nat?"


    Immediately afterwards, she seemed to realize something, and said embarrassedly, "Forget it, I don''t want to..."


    "Of course." Ryan took the words and said with a smile, "I''m going to Cannes. I''m worried that Nat will be bored back to New York alone."


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    The Cannes Film Festival, founded in 1939, is one of the world¡¯s top international film festivals. Together with the Venice International Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival, it has become one of the three major international film festivals in Europe. The highest award is the''Palmola''. The opening time is set for May 13th, local time.


    After entering the 1990s, European films were greatly impacted by Hollywood films, and almost all of the market fell. In this context, the three major film festivals, which are too particular about niche and so-called art, have their influence every year. Are declining.


    The organizers of the three major film festivals have naturally noticed these and are making corresponding changes. The Cannes Film Festival, which tends to be more commercialized, is undoubtedly the most obvious one.


    They not only accepted Spielberg''s film into the competition unit, but also listed it as the opening film, which is evident in the intentions.


    You know, Steven Spielberg is not very popular in the European film industry.


    In fact, even the stupid people understand that the movie loses its business and will only die.


    "Ryan, it''s been a long time since I saw you."


    Entering the hotel and just entering the guest room prepared by the organizer, Ryan greeted Spielberg.


    "Steven." Ryan hurriedly let the old man onto the sofa in the living room, "I just arrived, and I am going to say hello to you and Tom."


    "Tom and Lina are on the Corniche." Spielberg talked about business. "I heard Jerefer say that Pat pushed the dubbing of "Prince of Egypt" for you?"


    "I think it''s not hard to find a candidate for dubbing." Ryan made an apologetic gesture, "I sent the theme song to the animation studio."


    The theme song is naturally "", what other songs are there that are closer to the theme of "Prince of Egypt" than this song.


    "I''ve heard Maria Kelly''s audition, it''s very good, and it fits the theme of the movie."


    Spielberg didn''t say anything. Although Ryan broke the appointment, the song was provided for free, which obviously meant compensation.


    "Has the later stages of "Jurassic Park 2" been completed?" Ryan changed the subject.


    "Only the title and subtitles are left. Kate is producing it and will be able to finish it all in the next few days."


    In this summer, the film market will usher in a number of big productions related to Ryan, the first is "Saving Private Ryan The premiere time of this film in North America, is placed on the anniversary of the landing of Normandy. That day.


    There is also "Jurassic Park 2". In this era when cg is gradually rampant, this movie will certainly not be as amazing as the first one, but it is definitely a weapon for attracting money.


    Then there is Michael Bay¡¯s "Peerless Tribulation", this sci-fi movie mixed with many entertainment elements, which will be released in the last month of the summer vacation.


    The two talked about other movies, and Spielberg said goodbye.


    "Ryan, don''t forget the premiere tomorrow. If you don''t attend, those French reporters will definitely enter the hotel."


    "I won''t let them do what they want."


    Seeing Spielberg''s rare joke, Ryan responded with a smile.


    In fact, when he arrived in Cannes and entered this hotel, he had already been bombarded by reporters and paparazzi. I don¡¯t know if it was deliberately arranged by the organizer. At that time, the car parked a little far away from the hotel and he paid for it. With so much strength, under the support of George and others, he rushed in. ()

 Chapter 311： Cannes Film Festival

    Every May is the most beautiful and busiest time in Cannes. The holding of the Cannes Film Festival will make this small town in southeastern France with a population of only 70,000 become crowded. The local newspaper publishes a full-page film festival. For publicity advertisements, film festival posters were also posted on both sides of the street, and various activities of the film festival were concentrated in the main venue of the "Festival Palace".


    The Palais des Festivals is located on the famous blue coast. From here, you can see the luxurious yachts at the port. The festival is not only a grand gathering for movie fans, but also a great place for some people to hunt for beauty.


    At this time, on both sides of the red carpet in front of the steps of the Festival Palace, a large number of reporters and fans gathered. The noisy voices can be heard from a long distance. The stars and directors who came from all over the world to participate in the film festival are waving their hands. After passing the red carpet and taking a group photo in front of the steps, one after another entered the theater.


    At the height of the entrance of the theater, a huge poster of "Saving Private Ryan" was hung. Ryan, Tom Hanks, Spielberg and others finally appeared on the red carpet under the deliberate arrangement of the organizer. on.


    Although there have been many celebrities before, there are very few who truly have world-class influence. So when Ryan, Tom Hanks and Spielberg joined hands on the red carpet, the red carpet ceremony finally ushered in. Here comes the long-awaited **.


    The fans on both sides shouted hoarsely, the volume was more than twice as high as before, and the camera in the reporter''s hand has not stopped. The film murdered in this short moment has kept up with the sum of the previous use.


    On the box office, on the influence of the world, everyone on the red carpet today, who can compare with the three of Ryan?


    "Why invite so many Hollywood people, as long as Ryan Jenkins walks on the red carpet, it is enough to attract the eye." Robert Bernini''s words obviously have some other meaning.


    "But his movie conquered the world." It was Luc Besson who spoke.


    This year''s Cannes Film Festival. The organizers are looking for innovation and change. Martin Scorsese is invited from Hollywood to serve as the chairman of the jury. The jury also has many stars or directors from Hollywood.


    Ryan waved his hands to greet both sides, and soon fell into the heavy besle of photographers. The red carpet here is far more open than the Oscars. From the moment he stepped on the red carpet, dozens of reporters followed closely. It seemed that he didn''t want to let go of any of his expressions and movements.


    Although the flash was dazzling and the reporter''s yelling was crazy enough, Ryan was always smiling, showing his most charming side. The boys and girls on both sides of the red carpet are almost insane. If there are not enough security personnel, and he himself is caught in a siege, the scene will become a vegetable market.


    "Tommy, your limelight is completely covered by Ryan." Spielberg on the other side was joking with Tom Hanks.


    "This is normal, isn''t it, Stephen. Everyone knows how good Ryan is." Tom Hanks smiled honestly.


    Regardless of the friendship between the two, his eldest son is the leading actor. He is starring in a movie created by Ryan and his career is just around the corner.


    "Mr. Jenkins, if I remember correctly, this should be your first time at the Cannes Film Festival. Do you have any special feelings?"


    Walking to the bottom of the steps in front of the Festival Palace, the sponsor¡¯s cooperative media had already prepared reporters and questions, and Ryan suddenly plugged in several microphones in front of him.


    "This is a very beautiful city with charming beaches and blue waters. I think I will like it soon." After seeing this kind of battle, Ryan naturally has a way to deal with them.


    "It is said that you don''t have many roles in the movie. What prompted you to play such a supporting role?"


    "The movie has a great story and a deep theme. Also, this is a Steven Spielberg movie. What does it mean, I don''t think I need to say more?"


    "Do you know French movies? What great French movies have you seen?"


    "I have worked with Director Besson. He is a very good director. As for French movies..." Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head. He couldn''t think of it for a while, so he said, "I watched a movie a few days ago. The old movie called "Escape from the Tiger''s Mouth", a great comedy."


    His answer was obviously unexpected, and the reporter who asked the question couldn''t help but feel a little embarrassed.


    Leaving the interview area, the main creative staff of the entire crew stood in front of the steps. After the routine group photo, Spielberg took the lead and walked towards the inside of the theater.


    "It''s been a long time, Ryan." Just walking up the steps, a big fat man reached out to Ryan.


    "Hi, Luc." Ryan shook his hand firmly. "You look fat again."


    "That''s because I haven''t worked for a long time."


    "I think..." Ryan frowned first, then stretched out, "We still have a lot of opportunities for cooperation."


    "Then I wait for your good news." Luc Besson laughed.


    A few years ago, the success of "Killer Leon" allowed Luc Besson and Jean Renault to successfully enter Hollywood. Compared with Jean Renault''s stable career as an actor, Luc Besson''s follow-up works. It was not a success in North America, especially "The Fifth Element". With a production cost of US$90 million and high marketing expenses, Sony Columbia Pictures almost vomited blood after the film was released in North America.


    Like a Hollywood-style premiere, a large number of insiders gathered in the front hall of the Festival Palace. When the crew came in, they immediately paid attention. When they saw Ryan, those from the world Filmmakers everywhere have complexity in their eyes.


    There is envy, jealousy, admiration, and of course disdain.


    However, everyone knows what the occasion is. Even if they can''t understand the commercial style of Ryan and Spielberg, they will not be stupid enough to jump out to make trouble at this time, otherwise, it will only be themselves who are ashamed.


    Especially those directors in Europe often talk about disdain, and there are a few in their hearts who don''t want their works to open up the North American market, like Luc Besson, go to Hollywood?


    The director is fortunate to say that he always has to remain somewhat reserved, but actors from all over the world are different. Hollywood has a natural attraction to them, and Ryan and Spielberg are also some of Hollywood''s leading producers...


    Listening to the introduction of the organizer¡¯s escort, Ryan maintained the necessary etiquette, shook hands with people around him almost mechanically, and made a few polite greetings. As for the name of the other party, he rarely remembered.


    The reason is simple, Ryan or Hollywood doesn''t need them, and they need Hollywood.


    In addition to people in the film industry and the media, the organizers also specially invited many veterans who had participated in the Normandy landings according to the requirements of the crew. They were wearing old-style military uniforms with medals on their chests, which were particularly eye-catching.


    I believe that the war scenes in this movie will definitely evoke the deepest memories in their hearts.


    In terms of commercial promotion, Hollywood films have their own mature systems, and some small things sometimes have unexpected effects.


    After the film was screened, these veterans'' comments on the film were far more attractive than the articles of film critics.


    Soon, the people gathered in the front hall, under the guidance of the staff, walked towards the largest main auditorium. As the crew of the opening film, Ryan, Spielberg and others, walked at the end, and so on. When they entered, as usual, the audience stood up to applause.


    Holding a hand that only stretched out in front of him, listening to a compliment, there is no doubt that Ryan has received the same treatment as Spielberg. The achievements over the years, even if they are far away from the North American continent, are still No one dares to underestimate him, a little guy who is only eighteen years old.


    What he represents is a huge amount of wealth, countless honors, and the status of the top Hollywood.


    "Hi, Sophie."


    What Ryan didn''t expect was that behind his seat was the beloved French man.


    "Ryan, it''s been a long time since I saw you."


    Before the Princess of Wales died, the two had met at a charity event she organized.


    "The next time you come to Los Angeles, remember to be a guest at home. Nicole often mentions you." Although they knew each other, they were far from familiar, so Ryan spoke casually.


    "Definitely." Sophie Marceau gave a trademark smile.


    She shook hands with an actor she didn''t know before, and Ryan sat down. Before the opening film screening, the organizer had some brief ceremonies, mainly introducing the members of the jury and the main works of the competition.


    After a short wait, the lights in the theater finally went out. After the short subtitles on the big screen, an old Stars and Stripes waving in the wind and hunting, officially opened the prelude to this epic of war.


    The old man took the lead, and his family followed closely. He quickly walked into the war cemetery on the coast, where countless soldiers who fought for freedom and democracy in World War II were buried here.


    In the end he stood in front of a white cross , looking at the name on it, choked on the ground slowly, and couldn''t help crying.


    The camera slowly zoomed in, and there seemed to be the sound of waves faintly, and the cruel history of that year flashed before the eyes of the old man.


    June 6, 1944, the d-day that no one will forget.


    The Green Zone of Omaha Beach, a shoal that has now become a protected area.


    In the rushing tide, one landing craft rushed to the shore. The Allied soldiers in the boat had different expressions. Some were seasick and vomited, some were shaking, and some were chewing gum...


    There is only a lack of people who have a face of justice and fearlessly shouting slogans.


    This is the real soldier, not the fake doll of the void. They are very clear that what is waiting for them will be cruel battles, the dividing line between the world and hell.


    However, the **** and cruel degree of this battle far exceeded their expectations! ()

 Chapter 312： Saving Private Ryan One

    The first twenty minutes of footage almost restored the real World War II battlefield, **** and cruel, suffocating, even though everyone knows, Stephen? Spielberg''s war epic masterpiece is definitely not just that simple to say, and the film festival organizing committee is willing to choose this film as the opening film, there is definitely their reason.


    However, such a scene shocked them, especially those veterans who had participated in World War II. At this moment, it seemed as if they had returned to the battlefield where they had been sprinkled with blood, and the long-lost excitement returned to them.


    "This is the most realistic war movie I have ever seen." This is the most muttered sentence of veterans.


    Even those guys who come from Europe and call themselves art can not fault too many faults at this time. What''s more, this is a movie to commemorate the victory of the Anti-Fascist War!


    What surprised them most was that Spielberg used a portable camera to shoot here. From Captain Miller''s first perspective, what the protagonist saw and heard reflected the cruelty of the battlefield.


    The moment the landing craft door opened was the beginning of purgatory on earth, bullets came like rain, and brilliant blood bloomed on the bodies of allied soldiers.


    The cannonball flew across, the landing craft was shot and burst into flames, devouring the lives of the devourers.


    The soldiers hurriedly jumped off the landing craft and fell into the sea. The heavy equipment they carried dragged them to the bottom of the sea and put them to sleep here.


    The German Hitler chainsaw spit out fire, whether it was in the sea or the Allied soldiers on the shore, it was reaped mercilessly.


    Looking for a military doctor with his broken hand, holding his intestines already flowing out of his belly and shouting''Mother'', when he wanted to save someone, his comrades were refilled, hiding in the crater shivering in fear, took off the m1 helmet and looked at The bullet marks on it were still headshot by the bullet when I was lucky.


    Blood flies, corpses all over the field, this is World War II, it is truly frightening...


    There is only one way to hide on the beach. They were mercilessly slaughtered by the German army. Combined with their responsibility and courage, countless brave soldiers worked hard and opened the gap. This time they were slaughtered by the Germans, with grenades, rifles, Grenades and flame sprayers are all weapons of killing.


    This is also World War II.


    If the **** and cruel war scene is a shock to the vision, then using a shaking lens to observe the war with Captain Miller''s first perspective is a shock to the soul.


    Here, gunshots, roars, and roars are the background music, matched with those near-real shots, touching the hearts of everyone in the theater, and these are just foreshadowing the theme of the movie.


    Although many people, especially European art directors, always criticize Spielberg for being too arrogant, everyone understands that, based on his past achievements in film, the old Jewish man cannot just shoot an ordinary war. sheet.


    What''s more, Ryan''s ability to join this movie and play a supporting role that is not particularly important can also explain some problems.


    "It''s a tragic sight."


    "Yes, very tragic."


    The movie switches back to Captain Miller¡¯s first perspective again. On the beach of Omaha, the remains of Allied soldiers lie down. The camera slowly sweeps over them, and finally falls on the remains of a soldier, his backpack. It clearly says''Ryan'' on it!


    This is the soldier to be saved? Why died?


    Many viewers have questions, is it Ryan? Is the character played by Jenkins a dead man?


    Without waiting for them to question, the camera switched into a spacious office. The crisp sound of typing on the typewriter and the serious faces of the women all showed that they were engaged in extremely important work.


    "Dear Mr. Boyd, you should have heard the news of your son''s death..." The voice-over clearly expressed their work.


    A middle-aged woman discovered some unusual things from several reports of deaths. She took these and found a superior officer...


    Sean? Ryan! Peter? Ryan! Daniel? Ryan!


    These are the three brothers who died in action. Their youngest brother was a member of the 101st Airborne Division. They have already carried out an airborne somewhere in Normandy. Life or death is unknown!


    After this dialogue, the audience gradually understood that it was Ryan that must be saved.


    Like all American themed movies, they will not ignore the description of family affection. Soldiers on the battlefield yelled''Mother'' at the moment of life and death. Here is the mother who is slumped to the ground after learning of the death of three sons... ¡­


    There is still no dialogue here, but the scene created by the movie is enough to make people cry.


    James? Ryan is the name of the soldier who needs to be rescued. This incident has alarmed the top of the US military. Some generals think that Ryan has gone deep behind the enemy line, lost contact, and may have been killed in battle. It doesn''t make much sense to find him, but General Marshall I do not think so.


    He deliberately read the Feng Alabang? A letter from Lincoln to a mother.


    "Dear lady, I have learned from the War Archives Department of the Admiral Adjutant in Massachusetts that you are the mother of five soldiers who died gloriously on the battlefield. I feel that my words are weak and cannot comfort your sorrow. I can¡¯t make up for your loss, but I must thank you here. They died to save the country. May God comfort your bereavement and let you miss the beloved far away forever. The sacred glory belongs to you. Because you paid a heavy price! Alabama? Lincoln!"


    Everyone fell into silence, including the audience in front of the screen, even though the Admiral Marshall in the picture read the letter in a calm voice, it had a touching power.


    "The child is still alive, we will send someone to find him, and then take him away from the battlefield!" The famous general made a decision.


    However, to save Ryan, a small team must be sent across the German-controlled area. They are very likely to die as a result. Is it worth saving a small team of people?


    The paradox appears for the first time.


    Three days after the landing in Omaha, Captain Miller and his brothers became the squad to carry out this order. In order to facilitate the penetration of the German-occupied French area, Captain Miller specially recruited a civilian, Urban, to serve as Their interpreter for a group of people.


    Apart from Captain Miller, the most important member of the squad showed his characteristics when he appeared on the field. He was very careful and lacked combat experience. In other words, he was a timid soldier who had just joined the army. There is a natural fear of war.


    The group embarked on this uncertain journey. Although they had to obey the order, they thought it was an extremely absurd task. After all, everyone has a mother. Why should they kill themselves for other people''s children and mothers?


    Among them is Captain Miller, because this is likely to kill his brothers.


    The theme of the movie has been completely clear, and those familiar with Hollywood production models should be able to imagine that the fate of this group of people is ill-advised.


    Death soon fell on the squad.


    In the pouring rain, they came to a small town, found the American troops who had arrived here earlier, and routinely asked James? After Ryan''s news, Lianhe rushed to the town square, and met a family of French survivors on the way. The family insisted on letting them take the child away, but Captain Miller refused.


    But Capazzo, one of the squad members, took the child in violation of the order. After Captain Miller snatched the child, he was exposed to the sight of the German sniper and then fell to the ground.


    He was lying in the heavy rain, with blood and rain washing the ground. German snipers watched the squad closely, making it impossible for them to rescue them immediately. Military doctor Wade wanted to come forward to rescue him, but was dragged by Captain Miller and his colleagues. Came back.


    Capazzo seemed to have anticipated his fate. He held up the letter he had written to his father and asked his companion to copy it again and mail it back so that he would not see the blood stains on it.


    The squad''s sniper Jackson killed the German sniper, but Capazzo did not save it. The squad lost its first member.


    Family and affection are never outdated themes in Hollywood movies, whether it is Capazzo¡¯s last letter or the Frenchman¡¯s aftermath, they all show this.


    This is also Spielberg''s cleverness. He understands that the hot war scene alone cannot win the hearts of the audience, nor can it recover the huge investment of tens of millions of dollars. A more profound theme is a wise choice.


    Maybe others don¡¯t know, but Ryan knows that there were several war films with much higher investment in the next few years, such as "Pearl Harbor", "Arrows at the City", "Black Hawk Down", etc., but they all ended dismal, which can explain something. problem.


    This is the French area occupied by the German army Unexpected encounters may break out at any time, and the bullets shed from the inconspicuous corner of the ruined corner of the wall are likely to take away a lively life.


    But the squad did not stop and continued its mission. After a sudden encounter, they found the lead unit of the 101st Airborne Division. They heard about James? Ryan''s exact news.


    "Our uncle is here." The members of the squad stared at the running soldier with strange eyes, "He is just a bastard."


    However, when Captain Miller asked about it, he found out that Ryan was not Perry, and they were still far from completing their mission.


    Although the movie is based on Captain Miller¡¯s perspective, the shaping of other characters is also a classic. Needless to say, Capazzo, who temporarily joined during filming, has distinct styles and distinct characteristics. world.


    And Private James? Ryan became a lingering spell for this team. They met many troops of the 101st Airborne Division, but they couldn''t find him.


    Even if they rummaged through the nameplates of the fallen soldiers. (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 313： Saving Private Ryan II

    After several twists and turns, Captain Miller learned of the whereabouts of James Ryan from a soldier with a wounded ear. The second-class soldier was following a colonel, guarding a key bridge in a small town.


    Their uncle finally appeared! To use the ridicule of several members of the team.


    The audience breathed a sigh of relief. Now that they know Ryan''s whereabouts, they can find him and send him home. The team may complete the task smoothly.


    However, the plot of the movie is always full of twists and turns. The squad encountered a German radar station. There were a lot of American corpses lying nearby. There seemed to be German machine guns on defense.


    Another minor controversy emerged.


    Most members of the squad suggested to take a detour and avoid the German fortifications and machine guns, but Captain Miller didn''t think so.


    "The Air Force will not make a special trip to deal with a machine gun"


    "This is not our task!" This is the opinion of many people. "Our goal is not here."


    "We can go around, do we have to watch the troops behind you fall?" Responsibility is sometimes necessary. "Our goal is to win this war."


    Urban stayed behind. Through the scope, he looked at the charging comrades in fear and the battlefield where the lives were being harvested. You can say that he is cowardly and cowardly, or you can say that this is the reaction of a normal person. Civilian soldiers who have been on the battlefield, if they need him to appear, as in some movies, they will become fearless fighters. That is just a falsehood from reality.


    Captain Miller and others won the battle, but paid the price. Military doctor Wade was shot and wounded. This soldier who was calm and calm on the battlefield tried his best to save the lives of his companions, but could not save himself.


    "mom¡­¡­"


    "I want to go home..."


    This is what he said before his death. There is no rhetoric, only nostalgia for family and relatives. Perhaps Spielberg wants to show people the cruelty of the battlefield in this way...


    The German soldier captured alive by the squad. Become a target for venting. Many people insisted on killing the captive to avenge the dead Wade.


    The complex side of human nature. Undoubtedly shown here.


    In order to survive, the German soldier kept praising the Americans and even cursed, ¡®Damn Hitler! ¡¯


    Finally, Captain Miller released the German soldier. The squad broke out in a fierce quarrel over the task of saving Ryan again, but did not draw any conclusions, and only waited for the end of the movie to let the audience understand or judge by themselves.


    There are a hundred Hamlets in a hundred people''s hearts, and each audience has their own understanding of the movie in their hearts.


    The movie is slowly approaching the end, and until this time, the protagonist in the movie''s name has not revealed even one side.


    To know. Many people, especially those young people, came here to watch Ryan''s performance, but he has been reluctant to show his true face.


    "The movie is very exciting. But is Ryan''s scenes too small? It''s been an hour and a half now, why hasn''t he appeared yet?" Many audience members made a low voice in private.


    The name James Ryan is the main line of the movie, and this role is also the top priority. Spielberg will certainly not shorten his scene too much, so after an encounter with a German armored vehicle, this one is about to be saved. The soldier, the uncle of this small team, finally appeared on the big screen.


    And a Ryan who was completely different from Frank Jr. and Jack Dawson also appeared in front of everyone.


    His short hair is stubbornly erect like weeds, and under his thin body, he has the persistence of a soldier.


    After hearing the coming of Captain Miller and his party, Ryan did not agree to leave immediately. He refused to leave his guard position, and refused to abandon his fellow siblings.


    This is one of the roles that Ryan has played the least since he started in the movie, but he used his superb acting skills to tell those certain people that even if he didn''t rely on the handsome face in their mouths, he could still play any role well.


    Hearing the silent tears that fell when all my brothers died in battle, the stubbornness of refusing to leave the position, the guilt of the fallen members of the squad, the persistence of their combat duties, and the silent silence sitting behind the bunker...


    In this explosive long shot, the mood of the character is constantly changing. Ryan grasped this very well. Many people ignored the actor in the dirt and dirty military uniform and appeared on the screen. People who have become the most common U.S. soldier.


    If the role of Ryan, after Captain Miller finds him, just like the first Ryan he found, he can''t wait to return to the United States, it will definitely disappoint the audience.


    After all, how can the soldiers who the squad paid a heavy price to save are unresponsible soldiers?


    As a result, the movie gave this role more, and he is also the most common soldier image in the US military team, of course, in the minds of all Americans.


    Because Ryan insisted on guarding the position, Captain Miller and his party finally decided to fight with them, and the movie screen also used lines and unique scenes to render the brotherhood between the soldiers.


    As the person with the highest rank and the most experienced combat experience, Captain Miller became the combat commander. He led the members of the squad and the 101st Airborne Division to make some simple weapons with the existing equipment. Fight against the powerful Tiger tanks of the German army.


    "What should I do?" This was a question from Ryan.


    "The only thing you have to do is follow me." Captain Miller has not forgotten his mission.


    The battle was about to start. The soldiers gathered in one place, enjoying the last peace before the battle. Someone found the record player and gathered to listen to the music. Private Ryan sat in the ruins and talked about his past experience with Captain Miller.


    The faint sunlight fell on the dilapidated town, and the soldiers gathered together to chat freely, and laughter and laughter kept appearing, showing a different style.


    The leisure on the battlefield is extravagant. Soon the sniper Jackson on guard came news of the German attack, and the final battle was about to break out.


    Armored vehicles, tiger tanks and infantry. This is the German combination that Miller and Ryan and others face. Spielberg still adopts the methods of portable photography and realistic shooting here, but it is different from the cruel beach landing battle at the beginning. , The Jewish old man obviously wanted to give this battle more meaning.


    Friendship, facing the upcoming shelling of the tank, the first thing Sniper Jackson did was to remind his companions to be careful.


    Fear and cowardice, the companions upstairs were fighting life and death, Urbanser lay down on the stairs, not daring to lend a helping hand.


    Complicated, the German prisoners released by Captain Miller killed him and Merissy.


    Fearless, with several bullets in his body, the tall sergeant said it was just blown by the wind.


    For the redemption, the squad paid a painful price and saved the life of private Ryan. Urban eventually killed the German soldier.


    Hopefully, Captain Miller, who was seriously injured, leaned on the bridge and shot the crushed Tiger tank weakly with his pistol. When the tank exploded, the P51 anti-tank plane passed through the sky. The support of the U.S. Army Coming from the rear one after another, hope has never been extinct.


    However, the theme of the movie, is it worth eight to save one? Spielberg did not give a clear answer. The end of the movie just used an alternative way to show James Ryan, should he be saved?


    "That''s a p51 anti-tank bomber."


    "Our guardian angel." Captain Miller was already at the end of his life. He trembling his hands, attached to Ryan''s ear, as if using the last force of his life, "James, don''t let down... Don''t let everyone down."


    This is the last word in his life, and it is also a word that James Ryan has in mind.


    This former teacher, because of the war, has become a persevering soldier. He expounded the meaning of the military''s responsibility at the cost of his life. The last look in his dying eyes made people see hope in sadness.


    The eight-person team paid six lives in exchange for James Ryan''s new life. Whether it is worth it or not, I believe that every audience will have a different understanding in their hearts.


    The film came to the end, and the camera cut back to the war cemetery. The old James Ryan squatted in front of Captain Miller¡¯s grave, whispering his experience over the years, saying that he had been trying his best to live his life and he didn¡¯t want to let them down... ¡­¡­¡­


    "Tell me that I haven''t lived in vain in my life." He stared at his wife extremely seriously.


    "what?"


    "Tell me, I''m a good person." He said again.


    "You''re a good man!"


    James Ryan stood before the white cross and paid a standard American military salute.


    Like all Spielberg movies The old Jewish man will not hesitate at all when it is time to sensationalize, but compared to "Schindler''s List", which is a little deliberately sensational at the end, "Saving Soldiers" Ryan is much more natural.


    At the end of the film, he didn''t even use overly excited emotions and words. Those simple dialogues have their own power to move people''s hearts. Many viewers unconsciously felt their eyes moist.


    Undoubtedly, this is an excellent movie. It combines the visual effects and profound themes almost perfectly. Together with the excellent performances provided by Tom Hanks and Ryan, it is enough to make "Saving Private Rui "En" has become one of the most attractive works this year.


    Of course, the humanistic spirit and the paradox will definitely become the focus of later disputes.


    With the warm applause, Ryan slowly clapped his palms and stood up. Together with other members of the crew, the congratulations from people around the recipients, anti-Nazis, anti-fascism, and the humanistic spirit reflected in the movie, in mainstream Western society, that is The most basic political correctness, apart from that kind of second-hand director, who would support the Nazis at this time?


    As for the themes of the movie, Ryan doesn''t care much, nor does it make unnecessary thinking. For movies born under the Hollywood production model, discussing these has no meaning. ()

 Chapter 304： 3 questions

    "The film uses documentary-style realism to reproduce the magnificent and earth-shattering scenes of the Normandy landing more than 50 years ago. The **** battlefield was shocking, and the audience was shocked to witness the fierceness and cruelty of the war, but this film is more than just On Omaha Beach stained red with blood, Steven Spielberg focused on the relationship between people and the performance of humanity in war. This is the best war film ever!"


    As the opening film of this year''s Cannes Film Festival, "Saving Private Ryan" has attracted the attention of countless media. Even in Europe far away from the base camp of Ryan and Spielberg, it still ushered in heated media discussions.


    In particular, the French "Le Figaro" published a large number of relevant comments.


    "The film''s performance in the war scenes is very lifelike, almost authentically reproducing the **** scenes of the battlefield at that time. Many veterans of World War II participated in the opening screening yesterday. They gave the film extremely high praise, saying that it was the''most true reflection of World War II''. , Especially the spectacular scene of the Omaha beachhead landing in the film."


    "On the other hand, the film explores a problem of humanitarianism in war. Should the humanitarian spirit of saving a soldier be saved with the lives of eight people? This enhances the film¡¯s character as a documentary film, and thus has a deeper level. Excavated the justice and humane spirit in the war."


    In addition, the media also focused on the actors, who made the film''s starring Tom? Hanks, and the other protagonist who is not the protagonist is Ryan.


    Are they to Ryan and Tom? Hanks analyzed from the acting in the movie to the role he played. Tom? Hanks naturally does not need to go into details, his performance in it is obvious to all, especially Wade crying alone after his death and the command to Ryan at the end, almost let people see his hope of winning the Oscar winner again.


    As for Ryan, the performance in the short time he played has been well received by most of the media.


    "In this movie, Ryan? Jenkins shows us a completely different self. The James Ryan, who seems to be the protagonist but not the protagonist, played less than forty minutes in total. It is the main thread that runs through the whole film."


    "Such a character is quite difficult to grasp, especially when there is a two-time Oscar actor standing next to him. But Ryan Jenkins uses his own performance to interpret the meaning of a most ordinary soldier. He has an ordinary image. In the ordinary, they are different from ordinary people. They are loyal to the country, loyal to their beliefs, brave in battle, and fearful in the face of danger. This is the Allied soldier that can be seen everywhere during World War II."


    "Ryan? Jenkins''s fame and halo are too dazzling, so dazzling that one has to wonder, besides the genius and the talented handsome boy, can he play an ordinary and ordinary role? And in the movie His interpretation of James Ryan allowed us to see the extraordinary side of this young superstar. He used the most unpretentious acting skills and a very ordinary role to prove his excellence to the world."


    Maybe Ryan came to the Cannes Film Festival in person, or maybe it was Luc? Besson was introduced to Hollywood, and the French media gave him extremely high praise for his performance in this film, which was extremely rare.


    Of course, compared with the previous life, he definitely deserves such an evaluation.


    Originally, except for Captain Miller, the most outstanding character in the movie was Urban, but Ryan used his own performance in a few scenes to become second only to Tom? The actor of Hanks.


    Many celebrities and big names have come to Hollywood this time, and the American media has also paid unprecedented attention to the Cannes Film Festival. You know, this is Ryan? Jenkins, Tom? Hanks and Stephen? Spielberg teamed up again.


    The two best actors, plus a great director who is at the peak of his creative process, are hard to think not to attract people''s attention.


    "This is a movie that should be remembered by the world. This is a milestone in a war movie."


    -"Los Angeles Times"


    "Although it is a group scene, the performance of the actors in it is almost impeccable, especially Ryan? Jenkins and Tom? Hanks, for us to provide us with wonderful opponents."


    --"New York Times"


    This epic of war with the main theme can no longer be the main theme, won the praise of the mainstream media, although some people worry that the film will ¡®extremely promote war and violence¡¯, it is just groundless worry.


    Since coming to Cannes, Ryan will not refuse to cooperate with the organizers to show up in the media and the public from time to time. Like other stars, taking a walk on the promenade has become the first choice.


    Walking on Binhai Avenue alone, Ryan walked around aimlessly against the afterglow of the setting sun. Two bodyguards followed not far away to prevent harassment.


    Whenever it comes to the Cannes Film Festival, it has become a place where stars and the media have a tacit understanding. Entertainment reporters will take pictures at a distance, and they rarely take the initiative to harass them, and stars will show themselves in front of the camera.


    Not long after Ryan appeared on Binhai Avenue, a large number of reporters gathered around him. At the beginning, these guys still kept tacit understanding and took pictures from a certain distance, but after a longer time, they were not satisfied. After all, the person in front of them It''s not an ordinary Hollywood star. There are too many things on his body. As long as he can take something out of his mouth, the headlines of the entertainment version will fall off tomorrow.


    Looking at the two strong white men who couldn''t be far away, these reporters understood that they must be Ryan''s bodyguards. In this case, it is better to behave when questioning.


    "Mr. Jenkins, I don''t know what your impression of Cannes is?" A reporter finally asked the first sentence.


    Looking at the reporter holding the camera, Ryan shook his head and smiled, and said, "You can ask three questions..."


    As soon as his words were spoken, the reporter seemed to blow up his nest, Qi Qi cheered, and his voice almost caught the attention of people hundreds of feet away.


    "I only answer questions related to "Saving Private Ryan"." Ryan added.


    Although a little disappointed, in any case, the other party was willing to speak. A reporter''s mouth was very quick, and Ryan''s words were not fully understood, so he asked.


    "Ryan, what do you think of the movie "Saving Private Ryan"?"


    His relatively large-scale problem can''t help but arouse the glare of his colleagues around him, which is simply a waste of opportunity.


    "If you choose to watch only one war movie, then you should choose this one." Ryan''s words did not disappoint them.


    "In the movie, the sacrifice of many people was used to save the life of another soldier. Do you think it is worth it or not?" The reporter asked the question most people wanted to ask, and all reporters immediately pricked their ears.


    "First of all, everyone has overlooked one thing. This movie is adapted from the personal experience of a soldier in the 101st Airborne Division. You can ask the screenwriter or director for the specific situation." Ryan has the essence of kicking the ball.


    "Is it worth it?" the reporter asked.


    "This is just a story about life and obedience to orders. I don''t think the discussion is worthwhile at all. We should focus our attention on the reflection of that war, the trauma and pain that the war brought to mankind, and cherish the current situation. Peace." Ryan said solemnly, "I only wish the deceased to rest in peace, and the living to suffice."


    After speaking, he walked between the two bodyguards and walked towards the hotel without looking back.


    "Ryan, this is the second question, and there is one more." A reporter yelled from behind.


    "Think about it, this is the first few questions you asked." The two bodyguards separated the crowd, and Ryan disappeared in the crowd.


    "A question that is repeatedly asked is considered a question?" a reporter said depressed.


    "Who made him Ryan? How about Jenkins, who made him never rely on our hype." Another reporter said helplessly.


    Yes, a person who can easily attract the attention of the world by doing whatever he wants and who has billions of dollars in his own worth would care how the media views it.


    The other party is willing to answer a few questions, that is their luck.


    Back in the hotel room, Ryan dialed the phone in New York, and Natalie''s crisp voice soon rang in the receiver in her ear.


    "Ryan, the premiere is over. Are you ready to return to North America?" Maybe Natalie didn''t even notice it. When facing Ryan, her *** will always converge a lot.


    "I''ll go back in a few days." After Ryan answered vaguely, he quickly changed the subject, "Nate, did you think about me."


    "No."


    Although she understood what was in her heart, Natalie still said something wrong.


    "Then do you miss my finger?"


    Natalie''s words caused Ryan''s slight dissatisfaction, and he immediately responded.


    "Ryan? Jenkins!"


    It is conceivable that Natalie must be gritted her teeth at this time, "I swear, next time I see you, I will bite off your ears!"


    "Oh dear." Ryan deliberately changed his exaggerated tone. "It sounds terrible, Nat. I plan to go to New York next month to celebrate your seventeenth birthday. Look I have to reconsider."


    "Sniff." Natalie seemed to know that Ryan was joking, muttered, and asked, "When will "Saving Private Ryan" be released in North America?"


    "The day of the anniversary of the Normandy landing." Ryan reminded, "This is a purely male movie. There are indeed many violent and **** scenes."


    "It''s okay." A voice that Natalie didn''t care about came from the microphone. "When you come to New York, we will go to the theater to watch."


    A very clever girl, in this unmarked way, remind him not to forget to go to New York then.


    Hanging up the phone, Ryan sighed and simply packed his luggage. His plane was ready for departure, and he was going to Australia overnight.


    He has already greeted the organizers, and he doesn''t have much interest in the subsequent films. As for the final awards, he is almost certainly not destined for him, and it is meaningless to continue. rs()

 Chapter 315： New York to Sydney

    Putting down the phone, Natalie originally wanted to devote herself to her homework again. Since this semester, she has filmed the official title of "The Phantom Threat of Star Wars Prequel", and then went on a trip with her beloved, and her homework naturally fell. After talking on the phone with that hateful guy, she found it difficult to concentrate. The figure and a certain vocabulary floating in her mind made her irritable.


    Bastard! Natalie cursed lowly, forcing herself to divert her energy to study.


    In the past two years, she has been participating in the sat test. The National Scholar Award is something she must get. Any honor that can strengthen her aura is her pursuit.


    No one wants to be much worse than their significant other, let alone a very proud girl like Natalie.


    As smart as Natalie, she naturally understands that if there is too much difference in status and reputation between the two ¡ª such as the current self and Ryan ¡ª they will only be regarded as his own person, not a completely ** individual, this is her Something that is absolutely unacceptable deep in my heart.


    And, can two people who are too far apart really come together? Cinderella and the prince are just fairy tales.


    Of course, Natalie never considers herself a Cinderella, she has her own pride and pursuit.


    Intellectually, she doesn¡¯t think Ryan is a good choice. His talent, his identity, his fame, his looks, in short, everything about him is too easy to attract other girls, and Hollywood is A huge vortex, even if he can keep a clear head now and refuse those temptations, but what about the future?


    But she still fell into it, very, very deeply into this love, because reason and emotion often have a distance between heaven and earth.


    She had known Ryan when she was eight years old, for so many years. The two grew up with each other, and no one knew him better than her¡ªthe other woman was ignored by her subconsciously¡ªand no one knew himself better than him. The two had been friends for so long, and the love was really only born last year. ?


    Absolutely not. Natalie only realized last year that Ryan should like herself. But she had a hazy affection for him a long time ago.


    As early as a few years ago, she was lying in the bathtub for the first time. When using the fingers, the only thing I can think of in my head is that guy.


    It seems that from the day they met, the two of them were destined to come together, as if it were God''s will.


    And she never thought she could get rid of Ryan''s influence. Others didn''t know, but Natalie knew that from the day she stepped into Hollywood, he had been protecting her, silently eliminating potential uneasy factors for her, and also profoundly affecting her.


    She is the closest friend everyone knows of him, and few people are willing to risk the possibility of turning his face against him. Force her to do anything.


    Her agent is Pai Jinsli, and the assistant bodyguard comes from the security company he has invested in. He can always see traces of him reaching out behind the movies that he takes. Even most of her income is given to Scott? Wift is taking care of it.


    No matter from which way. His influence on himself is almost everywhere.


    Natalie sometimes wondered if Ryan had woven such a net on purpose and waited for herself to crash into it stupidly.


    What about that? For such a sweet net, others can''t ask for it. Besides, the person who weaves the net may not be the final winner!


    The mind of a girl is sensitive and changeable. In the heart of a girl like Natalie, love not only represents sweetness, but also represents war. She always wants to be a winner.


    Before becoming a winner, she must first solve another problem.


    Squeezing the restlessness of her body, Natalie closed the book, raised her right hand in front of her, tried to move her fingers, and her face became redder and red.


    Ryan Jenkins, you are a bastard!


    In the low curse, a clear figure flashed through her mind, and the feeling that those slender fingers brought to her seemed to be right in front of her eyes.


    Natalie finally gave up her persistence, and her right hand slipped slowly from her neck to the deepest part of her body. She vaguely remembered the rhythm, as if it had changed from Chopin¡¯s fourth waltz to Beethoven¡¯s Moonlight Sonata. There is not much research, but due to his relationship, she will also point simple fingerings.


    The girl''s nose hummed a few times, as if she had found that feeling, and there seemed to be some difference.


    why? Why does it feel so bad? Natalie''s face is even more red, does Ryan''s hands have magic power?


    God, please send him here!


    At this moment, how much should Natalie look forward to the cursed guy appearing by her side to help her solve these problems.


    ¡­¡­¡­


    At Martin Place in Sydney, a large number of media reporters and movie fans gathered here. It was supposed to be a noisy scene but silent, because the famous crew is busy filming. They have been in Sydney for a long time, and they have formed a relationship with the city. A tacit understanding.


    The tall and **** girl in black leather is now the pride of Australia. The newly promoted Oscar queen has an unparalleled appeal in her hometown.


    Ryan has long followed the staff stationed by Jenkins Pictures and walked into the trailer serving as a temporary resident, waiting quietly for the end of the filming. There are many action shots here, and the person in charge is no longer the Wachowski brothers. , But replaced Yuan Heping.


    At the beginning of the filming, the other party didn¡¯t want to go off the scene in person, but Ryan had experience in the previous life, and when the two parties signed the contract, he asked someone to draw up a related treaty. He is not a philanthropist, business is business, and there is no affection. Speakable.


    Besides, with his current status and status, if he compromises in this regard, he will simply let the whole Hollywood watch jokes.


    Also, George said that he saw a certain paparazzi again. The other party was obviously guarding Sydney, waiting for him to come here. It seems that Michael Eisner doesn''t want to reconcile. Since he wants a war, he can do whatever he wants.


    However, finding someone to talk to the paparazzi secretly, and finding a way to disgust Michael? Eisner seems to be good, anyway, Garcia has already checked out the paparazzi, plus enough benefits, don''t worry about him not being tempted.


    "That Tiger Chen seems to be good. He has been here for long enough, and it is easier to get along with people here. It is said that it is the same as in his previous life. He has established a good friendship with Keanu Reeves, and he is obviously a thoughtful person. "


    It¡¯s boring anyway, Ryan couldn¡¯t help starting Yuan Jiaban¡¯s idea, "After filming "The Matrix". It is entirely possible to send Yuan Heping back to Hong Kong. Leave this tiger, plus the action guidance specially trained by the company. In the future. Enough for Hollywood-style action movies."


    Anyway, I am not Ang Lee, and want to make a movie like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".


    Speaking of Ang Lee, Ryan couldn''t help but think of the latest movie set up by Julius not long ago, after the review of the script for "Death Is Coming" was completed. According to Ryan''s request, she found a Chinese director surnamed Huang to take the shot.


    Peter Jackson is still preparing for the "Lord of the Rings", let alone the movie starting, the cast has not yet started audition work.


    After the initial funds were in place, Ang Li quickly assembled the staff and began preparations for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". It is said that he has now flown to China. Is looking for a suitable location.


    The only thing that makes Ryan feel fortunate is that "Blade Warrior" ended all the shooting and began the most important post-production before the Oscars ceremony began. There should be no problem when it is released at the end of the year. As long as the film can meet the psychological expectations of the high-level surprise, then "X-Men" will start quickly.


    "What are you thinking? I didn''t even see when I came over." Nicole''s complaining voice sounded in his ears.


    The Australian girl was wearing that black tight-fitting costume and deliberately turned twice before Ryan''s eyes. Who knew this guy was distracted, she couldn''t help but frown slightly without even looking at it.


    "Sorry, I''m thinking about the next movie to be shot." Ryan quickly stood up, took Nicole''s water glass, and handed it over.


    "Have you finished writing the script about seeing through women''s hearts?" Nicole sipped the water and asked gently.


    "Well, I''m done, I''m looking for suitable actors, and I won''t be shooting until the second half of the year or early next year.


    Ryan''s suggestion is still to find Nancy Miles, but the other party is busy with the post-production of the film "Nature Couple", which is based on the novel, and he will definitely not be able to get out in a short time, so he has to wait for a while.


    "What about you, when will your movie start shooting again?"


    Staring at his pale blue eyes, with deep misses, Ryan stroked the long blond hair and said, "Always wait for your hair to grow to a sufficient length, otherwise just make-up will be a problem, um... Time, I need to go back to North America, and I can stay with you in Sydney until June."


    Nicole¡¯s eyes became watery in an instant, like the seawater near the Great Barrier Reef, as thorough and alluring. Although this was a fully enclosed trailer, it was the crowded Sydney Martin Place outside, otherwise Ryan would definitely take her. Drag over and have a good time.


    And from Nicole''s flowing eyes, the same thought seemed to be revealed.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    After the knock on the door, Keanu Reeves and Hugo Weiwen walked in.


    "Hello, Keanu. Hello, Hugo." Ryan stood up and shook hands with the two of them.


    "Ryan, I heard that your company is preparing to produce "The Lord of the Rings", and the director is New Zealander Peter Jackson?" It was Hugo Weiwen who spoke, "I just want to confirm."


    "Yes, I don''t think it''s too secret." Ryan responded with a smile.


    Although it has not been officially announced, UU read , but the news that "Lord of the Rings" will soon be made into a movie is not a secret in the eyes of well-informed people in Hollywood.


    "Not long ago, Director Jackson contacted my agent and wanted me to audition for Elf King Elon." Hugo Weiwen briefly explained.


    "Oh~ I didn''t expect that you also received an audition invitation, Hugo."


    From the open trailer door, a blonde woman walked in. It was Nicole¡¯s best friend Cate Blanchett. After she sat down, she smiled and said, "My agent also received his call. The role is Kailan Trell."


    "It seems that Mr. Peter Jackson''s preliminary preparations are much faster than I expected."


    Hearing Ryan said so, everyone couldn''t help laughing.


    Today¡¯s shooting is not over yet, and the rest time is coming soon. After everyone left, Nicole stared at Ryan¡¯s hot eyes and said in a low voice, "My dear, don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t have a shooting mission tomorrow. At night and a day time." ()

 Chapter 316： Mermaid

    "Trinity, you''d better surrender obediently. It doesn''t make any sense to dodge and escape in front of the agents."


    In the hotel suite, Ryan is wearing a black suit, black sunglasses stuck in the bridge of his nose, and a standard agent Smith costume.


    "Who said I''m going to escape?" Nicole''s hand behind her back suddenly stretched out, holding a pair of handcuffs wrapped in soft leather, and she shook her **** body wrapped in tight black leather. With a charming smile, "I''m going to catch you, Agent Ryan."


    Her tongue kept wandering between the two red lips, and the other hand was gently stroking her shiny leather coat, making Ryan look a little dazed, "Don''t think about resisting, otherwise..."


    Walking slowly to the front, Nicole slowly blew into Ryan''s face. The breath with her unique taste instantly stirred Ryan''s heartstrings.


    "Hey, this is not script development..."


    Seeing the body wrapped in oily tight leather twisting and rubbing behind his arms, Ryan understood that Nicole had been prepared. One hand had been caught behind his back by Trinity, and the other was pulling his other. Hand, the texture of the handcuff holster came from his wrist.


    "Tonight, you will feel differently."


    The breath from Nicole was clearly mixed with wild and dangerous smells, as well as the extreme excitement that could not be suppressed, "Agent Ryan, tonight is your end."


    "I think you forgot something very important, Trinity."


    Waiting and being passive is not Ryan''s choice. He turned his body, with a little force on his wrist, he broke free of Nicole''s control, and quickly grabbed her handcuffed wrist. "The agent is invincible here. You... ¡­Not the savior, you are not my opponent."


    With that said, he quickly grabbed the handcuffs and grabbed the two slender arms with his backhand. It seems to be deeply involved in the role playing at this moment. Nicole didn''t make senseless resistance, and was extremely cooperative to let Ryan cut her hands behind her back. In the giggle, the handcuffs she carefully prepared fell between her snow-white wrists.


    "Accept the punishment from the mother."


    Ryan gave a light push, and Nicole fell on the side of the big bed. He quickly pressed on it, his hands wandering on the smooth leather clothes, the tightness and soft touch from his fingers made him especially intoxicated.


    "Trinity, Neo is not a good choice, now I will let you feel..."


    Before Ryan finished speaking, Nicole spoke. She said in a charming voice, "Agent Ryan, as long as you kill the savior, my body will be yours. You can do whatever you want on it."


    "Well, I will kill Neo tomorrow."


    Probably this unprecedented stimulus aroused Ryan¡¯s impulse. The hand wandering between Nicole¡¯s chest and abdomen increased her strength unknowingly. When he realized that the Australian girl was frowning, he Hastened to withdraw his hand.


    "Don''t, don''t stop." Nicole suddenly turned her head and stared at him with strange eyes, "Agent Ryan, in the most rude way..."


    It''s been a long time since the two of them had made each other, and Nicole almost forgot the feeling of floating in the clouds.


    "As you wish, Miss Trinity."


    Naturally, Ryan would not refuse Nicole''s request. A crazy night had just begun.


    The oily leather coat is tightly wrapped around the graceful body, but there are just right holes in several sensitive parts, and the exposed white skin forms a sharp contrast with the black, which looks particularly attractive.


    Poor Miss Trinity, squeezed underneath by the agents created by the mother, helplessly greeted the storm-like impact, and the hands clasped behind his back twitched weakly, seeming to be painful, but also excited, accumulating. The depression and **** after a long time will be completely released in the next moment.


    Ryan''s movements looked great, but he was extremely careful. At the right time, he quickly returned the freedom of Nicole''s hands. He didn''t want to hurt her at all, even if the Australian girl kept shouting in extreme excitement. ''Strong'', he still maintained the proper strength.


    The snow-white skin was shining with a charming blush, and Nicole was lying quietly in his arms, with a sweet look in her blurred eyes, her slender fingers gently stroked every inch of strong muscles, occasionally mischievous deliberately Landing on a sensitive part, grabbing a few strokes, both of them shuddered at the same time.


    The agents'' suits, sunglasses and broken leather jackets had long been thrown by the bed, and the two of them felt the warmth of each other''s body in the most primitive way.


    "You are in good shape now, do you want to continue to lose weight?"


    Nicole reached out and took a piece of chocolate from the head of the bed. When he placed it next to Ryan''s mouth, he shook his head and refused, and had to put it in his mouth.


    "Don''t forget, my next role is a survivor who has lived on a deserted island for several years." In order to fit the character''s image, he has been dieting and exercising since he left the location island in order to become a survivor. Leaner.


    "My dear, tonight is still very long." Nicole leaned closer to Ryan, and licked his lips with a tongue with chocolate juice, "Are you sure you don''t need to add energy? If..."


    Her eyes were extremely seductive, "I don''t want to use my fingers to solve it, I have had enough during this time."


    finger? Ryan suddenly became interested and whispered in Nicole''s ear.


    Nicole''s face turned redder, staring at him closely, and then helplessly asked after a while, "Do you really want to see?"


    "Hmm~" Ryan nodded quickly.


    "Don''t even think about it!"


    After a while, Ryan used to check the filming progress of the crew as an excuse, and stayed in Australia for the time being. When it was dead at night, he or she would always sneak into the other''s room, even if he or she didn''t do anything, just hugged and fell asleep. , Will also make each other feel satisfied.


    Using the time of the weekend, the two of them stayed away from the sight of everyone, avoided the eyes of many Sydney, and secretly went to the Kidman family''s farm in the country for vacation.


    Ryan is very familiar with the farm here. A few years ago, he lived here for a long time and briefly worked as a cowboy for horse-horse.


    The farm not only occupies a wide area, but within a radius of tens of miles, it is full of grasslands and low woods, almost no people, and it is a very quiet and leisure place.


    "Uncle Claudius." Nicole greeted the people who greeted them affectionately.


    "Nicole, is your filming finished?"


    This man named Claudie Kidman turned his head and looked over, "Ryan, it''s been a long time."


    "Hello, Uncle Claudius." Ryan greeted politely, "I still remember the delicious grilled tender lamb chops here."


    Now that he is here, he cannot afford to ride horses, which are necessary for cowboys. Ryan is quite familiar with the farm, and after a short rest with Nicole, he came to the stables.


    "Hey, Beatty, remember me?"


    Ryan greeted him with a maroon horse, but he was greeted by the exhale of the horse.


    "Okay, Ryan." Nicole walked over in a standard lady riding outfit, leading a black horse. "Do you think a horse can remember the passers-by three years ago?"


    "Alright alright."


    Ryan whispered, with the assistance of the stable staff, he quickly finished the horse called Beatty, and the horse that could be selected as a two-person car was naturally extremely docile.


    Neither Ryan nor Nicole are interested in being a horse trainer.


    "Mr. Felizon, we are going around, you don''t have to follow."


    After leaving the stable and strolling around the racetrack, Ryan confessed a few words to the staff who followed, drove the horse with Nicole, and left here.


    The riding skills of the two are not so pure. Ryan knows how to ride a horse, and he learned it from here. After returning to Los Angeles, although occasional interest comes, he will go to some high-end clubs with Nicole. For a while, but not a professional after all.


    His character is inherently cautious, and he rarely does things that are too risky. Nicole has also been affected by him to some extent. The speed of the two horses is very slow. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as a walk.


    On the green grassland, there are many small hills, and occasionally standing on a high place, you can also overlook several small lakes in the distance. The sheep grazing are like clouds hanging in the blue sky at this moment. Move slowly.


    Everything here is so natural, even the air has a fresh smell.


    Ryan and Nicole were in a tacit understanding, far away from the vision of humans and herds, and came to a very remote small lake, unloading the heavy saddles for the horses and letting them enjoy the grass.


    "When I was very young, Annie and I would come here to swim every time we came to the farm."


    Sitting on the rock by the lake, Nicole casually threw the gravel beside her, causing countless small splashes of water.


    "It''s a pity." Ryan wrapped Nicole''s shoulder with one hand, his face full of regret.


    "What a pity?" Nicole looked over strangely, "What a pity?"


    "It''s a pity that I was not here at the time, otherwise I would have seen Miss Kidman''s graceful body sooner." Ryan seemed to be joking, but he was extremely serious, "You and Annie ~ www.novelhall.com ~ would not be at the time. Naked swimming, right?"


    "You guessed it, but there is no reward." In Nicole''s light blue eyes, the waves flickered, obviously making some ideas, "Every time I come to the farm with Annie, this is our forbidden area."


    With that, she stood up, put her hands on the buckles of the riding pants, raised her eyebrows to Ryan, "Want to swim, dear."


    "Swimming? Of course!" Ryan also stood up.


    Just under his gaze, Nicole slowly unwrapped her clothes, and took off a piece of clothing at a tortoise-like speed. The swaying snow-white body always showed her uniqueness at the most suitable angle and method. Charm.


    With Nicole''s understanding of Ryan, it is natural to know how to stir his heartstrings.


    "My dear, I am waiting for you below."


    While talking, Nicole assumed the most seductive pose, and then jumped into the small lake.


    In the azure blue lake, there was a snow-white mermaid swimming back and forth. ()

 Chapter 317： Trouble will always come

    The blue lake is as clear as the sky at this time. You can see the gravel and pebbles below at a glance. Ryan paddled hard and caught up with Nicole in a few strokes. The two surrounded them like naughty children. Chasing the flat boulders that showed the surface of the water, only their cheers and laughter were left in the whole world.


    The lake is not deep, and most places can only reach their chests. The cool lake water washes the body, mixed with the warm sunlight falling on the face, so that people will be intoxicated if they can''t stop it.


    Occasionally when tired, Nicole is like a lazy koala, with her limbs entwined, holding Ryan''s body tightly, enjoying the wonderful touch brought by the direct friction of the skin, and occasionally giving sweet deep kisses. .


    Back in the shallow water, Ryan hugged Nicole and sat on the pebbles under the water. His lips slowly slipped from the Australian girl¡¯s forehead, gently sucking on her red lips and pink tongue. At this moment, there was no habit of wildness. , There was a rare gentleness and soothing between the two, but the fascination with each other did not diminish at all.


    After a long time, the four lips that seemed to be born together finally separated, and Nicole stared at the sky blue eyes, "Ryan, can you buy a piece of our farm?"


    Her eyes are full of desire. Although with her financial resources, it is not a problem to buy a large farm, but buying it for herself and her lover buying it for herself is the difference between heaven and earth.


    "I remember when I visited Queensland in 1995, I saw a beautiful farm there, and I went back to let people inquire about it." Ryan agreed without hesitation. For him now, as long as the money can solve it. The problem is not a problem.


    Hearing Ryan¡¯s words, Nicole put a charming smile on her mouth. She took Ryan¡¯s face and gave a kiss again. After the two gasped and separated, she whispered softly, "My dear, we sit in love. Right."


    "Are you here?" Ryan was obviously moved, and the two had never tried the feeling of being in the wild.


    "there."


    Nicole pointed to the boulder protruding from the lake and wrapped it around him like a mollusk, "Ryan, hold me over."


    "I am happy to help, my beautiful princess."


    With a beautiful body, Ryan felt that he was holding half of the world in his life. It would be great if the other half of the world could also be around.


    Of course, he is not a fool, knowing that if the two halves of the world come together, World War III will definitely break out.


    Only after putting Nicole on the neat stone, the Australian girl turned over and pulled him up, and before Ryan had too much reaction, she gently pushed him down.


    Ryan understood Nicole¡¯s thoughts and did not resist, but gently let her take the initiative. It was probably the blue sky and clear water that infected the emotions of the two. They did not have the wildness of the past, and enjoyed each other¡¯s tenderness at a slow pace. Do all you can to make your body warm the soul of the other person.


    "Stop, Nicole!" Before the last moment came, Ryan wanted to move his body, "You are not in a safe period."


    "No!" Nicole pressed him tightly, with persistence in her eyes, "I want you to stay inside."


    The azure lake is surrounded by clear grassland. There are only two horses gnawing on the green grass, and sometimes they will make a few sniffles. At this time, a bodyguard will always maintain the necessary distance, whether Ryan or Nicole, Not too worried, George knew about the relationship between the two for a long time. The other bodyguards had signed an extremely strict confidentiality treaty, and with the generous salary that would make other colleagues jealous, he would naturally shut his mouth obediently.


    In a country that belongs to capital, wealth does not only represent wealth. There is no super temptation that is tempting enough. Who wants to offend a super-rich who is rising rapidly.


    People around him will pretend not to see it, but that doesn''t mean that others are willing to do the same.


    A second-hand Chevrolet broke into this private territory, and after a little identification of the downward direction, perhaps it was the paparazzi''s instinct that prompted Joey? Wilkinson galloped towards the small lake.


    Since last year¡¯s Oscars, he has set his main goal on Ryan? Jenkins and Nicole? In Kidman¡¯s relationship, he has followed them countless times over the past year, and was spotted countless times by their bodyguards. Although he has not found or saw any signs, he is very certain that the relationship between the two people, It''s definitely not as simple as it appears.


    He realized that this was probably the big news that made a sensation in the world and made him famous overnight, and he tirelessly chased it down.


    However, things were more complicated than he thought. The bodyguards around this pair of brothers and sisters had obviously undergone the most rigorous targeted training, and could easily spot and get rid of the reporter''s stalking, even if it was his pretentious professional. Paparazzi.


    Although he didn''t get much valuable news, he also found something, especially Ryan? Through an agent, Jenkins may control a lot of shares in several large IT companies. These are hot stocks that are rising in the stock market. If they are shot, they can be cashed out almost immediately.


    Through his acquaintances, he found the approximate amount of these stocks, and the figures that the other party said out, shocked him to say nothing. If these are really owned by the young man, then his net worth is too terrifying, right?


    It doesn''t seem to be a problem to get into the top ten richest Americans.


    In addition, a research and consulting company that has recently emerged in California seems to be related to him...


    In this way, he dispelled some paparazzi''s habitual tricks. Before there was enough evidence, he did not dare to show his guesses in the newspaper. He even wanted to dispel the idea of ??continuing to dig deeper. After all, he slandered a star. , And slandering a super-rich, are completely two results.


    If the other party doesn''t care, he just laughs. If he really makes the other party stumble, he may be ashamed at the time, but what will happen later?


    After disappearing every year in the United States, there are countless people who can''t find any reason.


    No one wants to do things that pay disproportionately to the gains, and he is no exception, not to mention that he is just a free paparazzi with no power behind him.


    Until one day a few months ago, an old friend from Disney approached him. Facing the conditions offered by him, he gritted his teeth and nodded.


    As a fairly senior paparazzi, he knows Hollywood very well. The tyrant and Ryan of Disney? The contradiction between Jenkins can hardly be reconciled.


    So he followed Ryan again? Behind Jenkins, but after the other party finished shooting in Fiji, he completely disappeared from his vision. Fortunately, Nicole? Kidman was out on location in Sydney, and that guy would definitely come to Sydney after he went around. He stared at the crew of The Matrix.


    Sure enough, it didn''t take long to wait for Ryan? Jenkins, but the other party took the top floor of the hotel, and no one except the designated service staff was allowed to enter. Even if he bribed several staff members of the crew, he only got the news that they would take a vacation in the near future.


    After all his thoughts, he finally got here. Although this farm may be a private property, he doesn''t care. The identity of an American citizen is the biggest support overseas. Could it be that the owner here dare not shoot him.


    Besides, Ryan? Jenkins and Nicole? Kidman is hiding in such a remote place for vacation, there must be a problem, maybe it is really as I guessed, if you can take their affectionate photos, I believe the whole world will be a sensation.


    There is also the kind of intimacy that is obviously between lovers. As far as the relationship between them is concerned, the general intimacy photos are not convincing at all.


    In that case, I will be developed. Not only are there handsome cash remunerations, but also the position of Disney executives. With Michael? Eisner''s asylum, presumably...


    Joey? Wilkinson hadn''t finished thinking about it, and found that not far in front of the car, two men riding horses were staring at him coldly. It felt like a soldier was looking at a dead body on the battlefield.


    He didn''t care about the look in his eyes, but the large-caliber shotgun that the other party held in his hand made him shudder. This is private territory!


    Therefore, he stopped the car obediently under the gesture of the other party, after all, it is more important to not have his own life.


    "Hello, Joey? Mr. Wilkinson, we have been waiting for you for a long time."


    One of them called out his name accurately, which made Joey open his mouth, "You...who are you?"


    "Man, you followed us for so long and didn''t know us. Are you joking on purpose." The other man shook the shotgun in his hand and slid his finger around the trigger.


    "Are you his bodyguard?" Joey slowly put his hand in his pocket and pressed a button.


    The bodyguard showed a mocking smile and clicked on his belt, "Joy, we call you that, you don''t care, do you?"


    "of course."


    "Tell you, we are equipped with the most advanced electronic jammers. Your little tricks are useless The bodyguard gestured to him, "Come on, someone wants to see you." "


    Want to see yourself? Is it Ryan? Jenkins? Joey hesitated, but gritted his teeth and followed.


    In any case, he is a Hollywood star, and he is an entertainment reporter. Some rules of the game are acquiesced. Shouldn''t he do anything to himself?


    Two bodyguards led the horse and led the way. Joey tilted his head and found that there were two other female bodyguards not far behind. At this moment, he looked like a prisoner being escorted to the execution ground, but he didn¡¯t know. What will be waiting for yourself.


    After turning around a small hill that blocked the view, not far in front of him was a low wood. Next to a set of picnic equipment, sat a young handsome man with a sunny smile on his firm face.


    In his eyes, there was no sarcasm, no respect, no deep meaning, the only thing was plain.


    Joey knows him, knows this has been following Ryan? The assistant and bodyguard next to Jenkins. rs()

 Chapter 318： There is always a headache

    "Joy Jackson Wilkinson, thirty-two years old, was born in Washington, D.C., and has no higher education."


    As soon as he sat down, he spoke up to the handsome and sunny person facing him, but the more he said the other person¡¯s words, the more he was frightened. ¡°After graduating from high school, he worked as a restaurant waiter, insurance salesman, and car repair worker. A freelance journalist, or freelance entertainment journalist, makes a living selling celebrity photos and news. He lives in Orange County. His wife is a full-time housewife and has a three-year-old son. He still has an extramarital affair..."


    This bodyguard named George, his brain is like a computer, slowly telling many important experiences of his past, many of which are almost forgotten by himself.


    Joey lowered his eyelids to conceal the anxiety in his heart. Now that the matter has come, it couldn¡¯t be more obvious. The other party has already checked himself out. He is very impulsive and wants to run in front of Ryan Jenkins and ask loudly. Are there any mistakes? I am the paparazzi for investigating people, and you are the Hollywood superstar who is being followed!


    But he couldn''t say anything, just like George said. Although he has not received higher education, it does not mean that he is a fool. Since the other party is willing to spend effort to check his old bottom, he must have noticed himself. I''m not sure what I guessed or found out.


    Thinking of this, Joey suddenly thought of the California survey and consulting company. Wasn''t their boss a paparazzi before? This kind of investigation is not difficult for him at all...


    No wonder there are rumors that his rise is inseparable from Ryan Jenkins.


    "Mr. Wilkinson, since last year''s Oscars, you have started to follow us and talk about your specific purpose." George casually put a can of beer in front of him.


    "I am a freelance journalist from Mingpao Entertainment. This is my job. I just..."


    An obvious mockery flashed in the other''s eyes. Joey closed his mouth, he didn''t believe these words.


    "I have been around Ryan for many years and have seen countless reporters and paparazzi, but they are not too much. We never make things difficult. They just work, just to support the family. Sometimes Ryan will take the initiative to reveal something. Message to them."


    George is always talking about ¡®them¡¯, not ¡®you¡¯, "You are not one of them. You have other purposes, which cannot be hidden from my eyes."


    After pointing to his own eyes, George continued, "Disney is indeed great, but it has many internal contradictions. Michael Eisner is also a respectable manager, but only a manager. Don''t forget, market value. The tens of billions of dollars of Walt Disney Group has neither Disney nor Eisner."


    "Sorry. I have no comment." I am a professional ethical person, how can I guess a few words and surrender?


    "Joy, don''t you mind if I call that? Thank you!" George suddenly changed his tone and asked, pointing to the beautiful grasslands and low woods around him, "This is a private farm with an area of ??more than 10,000 acres, and the scenery is still Not bad, what do you think?"


    Although he didn''t understand the other party''s intentions, Joey nodded subconsciously, "Awesome farm."


    "Unfortunately, few people come to visit this farm." George sighed.


    "why?"


    "Under the beautiful scenery, there are always some dangerous things hidden." It is worthy of Ryan''s personal bodyguard and assistant. These years have not been for nothing, and have learned a lot of sour words. "This farm has a lot of inland lives. The fine scales are too much for snakes, do you know this kind of snake?"


    Joey shook his head, and then the explanation came.


    "The slender scale snake is the fastest venomous snake in the world and the most venomous snake on land. Its venom can easily kill 250,000 mice or 100 adults."


    Presumably aware of something, Joey''s face turned pale.


    "In 1995, and last year, some people were bitten to death by a snake bite because they broke into the farm privately." George''s words were unusually plain, as if he was just telling what he had seen and heard in the past.


    "You..." Joey suddenly thought of something, this is a veteran who has served in Africa!


    "Have you heard of Garcia? A Latino who broke out a scandal that Ryan and Miss Barrymore didn''t exist at all." Looking at the pale face of the other party, George continued, "Now he has his own. The company, at least a few million in net worth..."


    At this point, Joey would be a fool if he still didn''t understand.


    Half an hour later, Mr. Joey Wilkinson returned to the Chevrolet he had rented, and then increased the throttle, as if a prehistoric monster was chasing after him, he couldn¡¯t wait to stay away from this private territory until he was about to approach a nearby city. It just stopped when it was time.


    He took out the mini-recorder in his pocket for the first time, and pressed play. As expected, all the noise was squeaking, and there was nothing of value.


    What should I do?


    One is Disney¡¯s custodian, and one is most likely to be one of the top richest people in the United States. He has the support of some people within Disney. It is not too difficult to choose.


    As for professional ethics? For him, what is that!


    Leaving the small lake, Ryan and Nicole let their horses gallop for a while, waited for the warm breeze to dry their wet hair, and then returned to the direction they came from. They didn¡¯t go far, and George took a few of them. The bodyguard greeted him from the side.


    "How''s the talk?" After Mr. Bodyguard approached, Ryan gave a playful smile.


    "In the future, let Garcia do this kind of thing. It feels too bad." George was not polite and complained a little. "I would rather give him a shot than tell him so much. nonsense."


    "Don''t you think this is funny?" Ryan laughed haha, "Your life is too rigid, George, you should have more fun for yourself."


    "Is this kind of prank interesting?" George murmured.


    "Okay, George, ignore him." Nicole lifted the cowboy hat, first gave Ryan a glance, and then said, "He''s just having a bad taste."


    "Don''t you think it''s interesting to let the people hired by Michael Eisner go undercover?" Ryan slowed down, after thinking about the meeting, and said, "There must be a code for this action, what is the name? What..."


    Nicole and George looked at each other, and at the same time they showed helpless smiles. Since growing up, Ryan has rarely shown a side to escape.


    "Infernal Affairs! Yes, infernal Affairs."


    "Infernal Affairs?"


    Because of Ryan''s relationship, Nicole knew a little Chinese, and couldn''t help being surprised, "What does this mean."


    "Change to English means undercover." Ryan waved indifferently.


    So how do you explain a bunch of terms related to Buddhism to these people who believe in God? Ryan won''t tell Nicole, in fact, he has forgotten the specific meaning.


    Because of the need to continue shooting, after a short weekend, the two said goodbye to this beautiful farm.


    On the plane back to Sydney, Ryan suddenly thought of an important thing. After the small lake, Nicole didn''t seem to be taking any medication, and she couldn''t help but feel a headache.


    What is she thinking?


    Although he couldn''t guess what Nicole was thinking, and couldn''t talk about knowing more about women, Ryan understood that Nicole took the initiative to remind him of this kind of thing, and it would bring about completely different results.


    It shouldn''t be so unlucky, right? Ryan could only scratch his head.


    "Is there anything embarrassing?" Nicole, who was sitting next to him, keenly caught his subconscious movement.


    "That... By the way, Nicole, do you have any specific plans for the next few years?" Ryan quickly found the topic that attracted her attention.


    "After filming this trilogy, I need to take a long vacation." Nicole hardly thought about it. "Then I will continue to star in the movie. A best actress can''t satisfy me."


    In this case, Nicole would only tell Ryan that only she would understand how much effort he had made in advance and how much benefit he had paid for her best actress.


    "Well, honey, then I will bless you first."


    There were flight attendants on the business jet, and Ryan just patted her on the arm.


    Nicole is already a film queen, and her best actor has not yet been traced. In the past two years, she has been nominated. Other factors occupy a very important position. This is not a good thing in the long run.


    Fortunately, I chose "Remaining on a Deserted Island" this year. As long as it plays normally, it can completely change the opinions of many outsiders. Ryan is very confident about this.


    It is almost impossible to get the best actor based on this. Even if the academy is determined to reform, it will not allow a actor or queen who is less than twenty years old to appear. Do you want to be like other Hollywood actors~www.novelhall.com ~Continue to accumulate qualifications, and when you are about 30 years old, you will win that little golden man?


    In any case, some invisible limitations of the college are there. To get them to make compromises, it takes too much effort, especially in terms of roles and public relations.


    It seems that after returning to Los Angeles, I should work hard to write the other two scripts as soon as possible. Now there are enough money-making series. In recent years, he has almost exhausted those who have been both popular and popular.


    As for the next few years, the box office is almost dominated by comics movies or Harry Potter series.


    After sending Nicole to Sydney, Ryan stayed on the crew for a while. This is a trilogy with a total investment of US$300 million. Although there is a pair of brothers in his previous life, he always has to see if he deviates from the schedule. Direction.


    Fortunately, history always has its inertia. Although the filmed clips are rough, they can be seen to some extent, and the final editing rights are in the hands of Ryan. Without his nod, this film would not have appeared in the theater. line.


    After entering June, Ryan left Australia and returned to the long-lost city of angels. ()

 Chapter 319： Strong competitor

    ps: Four changes today~~~


    After returning to Los Angeles, the USC Film Academy had already reached the holiday time. He, the most famous student, had almost missed a whole semester of courses. Facing Professor Grete¡¯s slightly helpless remarks, Ryan promised that he would fall. Make up the homework, anyway, graduation is not a difficult task for him.


    Although the time spent in school has been decreasing in recent years, Ryan has still learned a lot of useful knowledge, coupled with his rich studio experience, in the understanding of Hollywood production, he will not be inferior to any one. Classmates.


    And he hung his name, and the pseudo-documentary horror movie produced by David, Darren and others has been completed. As planned, it was handed over to Flower Pictures for distribution. Ryan just made some hints. Those professional propaganda staff understood the specific operation method.


    Viral marketing is not a novelty. It has been around for many years. Now that it has a sound network in North America, coupled with the first large-scale application, it should be able to achieve ideal results.


    However, this kind of hurtful thing, once used once less.


    Anyway, he is the largest shareholder of Flower Pictures except Drew. Most of the funds will still flow into his pockets. Of course, he is not a vampire. The people who make the film are his classmates and friends. If they can succeed, they will definitely be indispensable. The corresponding dividends.


    In addition, it is the two scripts that were planned in Australia.


    Although there were some surprises in the middle, generally speaking, Ryan is still going according to the original plan, and every year he will release a movie in which he plays the leading role, which is both popular and popular.


    Well, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem that the movie planned for next year is well received. It would be difficult to get a seat. According to the experience of previous lives, it¡¯s not bad to be able to recover the cost.


    This film is naturally the autobiographical novel of Varadesro Spearman that Ryan allowed him to get, the pianist who was persecuted by the German Nazis. After meeting the people who had negotiated with Pai Jinsli Pai in the past, they did not pay sky-high adaptation fees because the purchaser was Ryan, but instead asked to donate half of the movie''s proceeds to several Jewish survivor organizations.


    Ryan has agreed long ago. Perhaps with his name, this movie will be profitable, but how much can it be?


    After all, people who like this dull movie are a minority in the world. And the icy flavor in the autobiographical novel is not as dramatic as Schindler''s List.


    However, in order to increase his bargaining chip, Ryan doesn''t mind whether the person or work he collaborates with is an angel or a devil.


    Therefore, the first director Ryan thought of was Roman Polanski, an old guy who hid in France and dared not return to North America for the rest of his life, he himself was a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp. Shooting this subject matter has a natural advantage.


    As for the other movie, David Geffen once contacted Pie Kingsley in the novel about the gladiator that he published in Vanity Fair a few years ago. Wanting to buy the right to adapt the film, after being rebuffed by Ryan, he probably understood something and gave up completely.


    If you follow the general idea. I would definitely shoot "Gladiator" first to increase my qualifications, and then use "The Pianist" which is so special that it cannot be ignored. To compete for the best actor.


    Unfortunately, I met a Ryan who didn''t like art movies very much. He would rather put the unsure "Gladiator" behind instead of using a purely so-called art film to reach the peak of his acting career.


    A dull movie that will make many people fall asleep, even if you get the Little Golden Man, how many audiences will remember that character.


    Because he liked popcorn too much in his previous life, he would inevitably wear colored glasses on his understanding of movies.


    Of course, all these are still uncertain factors. For the movie to appear, he must first come up with a complete script.


    In addition to writing the script, Ryan¡¯s most urgent thing is to go on a diet and fitness to meet the requirements of the remaining shots of "Remains of a Deserted Island". Fortunately, he is not the Tom Hanks of the past, and he does not have the problem of wide and fat. Follow the plan made by the nutritionist and fitness trainer.


    The only difficulty lies in the nutrition package. After eating too much monotonous food, it is difficult to have an appetite.


    Time slowly came to June 6. Today in 1944 is the famous''d'' day. The premiere of "Saving Private Ryan" in North America was specially selected for the anniversary of the landing in Normandy, such a special time. The theme that echoed it, coupled with the huge appeal of Ryan, Tom Hanks and Spielberg, immediately attracted a lot of attention.


    This film participated in the Cannes Film Festival, and the media was unanimously applauded, which drove the upsurge of watching movies.


    Unexpectedly, "Saving Private Ryan" was a big gain at the Cannes Film Festival. Although Tom Hanks lost the best actor, Spielberg won the Palme d¡¯Or, even though Tom Hanks lost the best actor. U.S. audiences don''t look up to awards outside of North America very much, which can be regarded as adding a layer of halo to the film.


    In fact, it¡¯s not a strange thing to get back the Palme d¡¯Or. "Saving Private Ryan" commemorates the victory of the anti-fascist war. The film¡¯s premiere location in France is Normandy, and the Cannes Film Festival is infinitely close to Normandy¡¯s landing. Remembrance day, and anti-fascism, anti-Nazi and its humanistic ideas, but the mainstream Western values.


    First of all, the quality of the movie is guaranteed. Coupled with various external factors, the judges will naturally consider carefully. Even if some people no longer like the subject matter of the movie, they are not idiotic enough to openly shout support for the Nazis in this era. .


    This premiere is similar to the premieres of other movies. The only difference is that it was like the Cannes Film Festival. Many veterans who participated in World War II were invited, and many of them were veterans of the 101st Airborne Division. .


    After watching the movie on the big screen again, Ryan attended a regular press conference. Many of the questions asked by reporters were answered in Cannes, but at this time he just repeated it.


    "Ryan, your role and performance in the movie have changed a lot than before. From my perspective, this is an extremely successful attempt. How did you do it?" A reporter finally asked about it. The performance aspect.


    "It''s very simple. Play every role with your heart."


    Ryan gave a standard answer. If this is not the scene of the press conference, I believe many reporters will roll their eyes at him.


    Opportunity is very important for actors, but if you can play each role with your heart, then Hollywood is not all actors. Looking at the guy who turned and left, many reporters thought so.


    As expected, on the second day after the movie was released, the major media gave praise. The''milestone in the history of war movies'' and the''best war movie in history'' have almost become "Saving Private Ryan". The pronoun, even the most critical media, will not focus on the subject matter of the movie. At most, it is only accusing the actors of the performances and a little bit of piercing scenes.


    Just like in Cannes, Ryan¡¯s performance in the film has been praised by most of the media, who believes that he is gradually breaking away from the inherent performance methods of "Cat and Mouse" and "Titanic" and has achieved extreme results. Great progress.


    And Ryan left Los Angeles on this day and brought Julius Stewart''s surprise from Russia to the Big Apple New York. He not only celebrated Natalie¡¯s seventeenth birthday, but also participated in other A movie premiere.


    Pixar¡¯s second fully computer-produced 3D animation film is about to be released. Although it has a completely different audience from the r-rated "Saving Private Ryan", Pixar¡¯s senior management decided to choose the film¡¯s premiere location. New York far away from Los Angeles.


    This movie is not "Toy Story 2" but "Insect Crisis". In this world, Disney¡¯s constraints are eliminated. Except for a few expenses, almost all of the profits of "Toy Story" belong to Pixar, and the stock price has risen since its listing. Faster, which raised a lot of funds.


    Without those messy worries, the film is made more sophisticated. Out of confidence in Ryan and Pixar Studios, Paramount Pictures as the distributor has also invested enough theater lines for the film.


    Ryan certainly won''t put this movie on the same week as "Saving Private Ryan", the movie will be released next weekend.


    Pixar Studios is facing an extremely strong opponent this time I don¡¯t know whether it is intentional or unintentional. Walt Disney put the hand-painted cartoon "Mulan" with an investment of nearly 100 million US dollars at the beginning of the summer file, but With strong opposition from certain voices within Disney, this animated film drawn from across the ocean was not released on the same weekend of "Bug Crisis", but was selected in the next week of the fair competition mode.


    But everyone can see that those who now hold most of Disney''s power are targeting Pixar Studios. They seem to want to use this method to prove their unshakable status in animated films.


    Ryan has watched these two movies many times in his previous life, and naturally knows a lot of the advantages and disadvantages of them. According to the laws of Hollywood in this era, they are based on themes of distant countries, and they will certainly not be the opponent of "Bug Crisis" in North America. However, overseas markets, especially the Far East market, will have an absolute advantage.


    But what can be done even if this is the case? The decline of hand-drawn animation is an irreversible trend. In a few years, not only Disney, but even DreamWorks will withdraw their hand-drawn animation department and devote all their energy to computer animation.


    After paying a little attention to this aspect, Ryan drove to Long Island. The villa he entrusted to the real estate company to purchase on the most luxurious beach in the eastern part of Long Island was in place. (To be continued ()

 Chapter 320： How can I hurry up

    "Whose car is this?"


    After closing the car door and tying the seat belt, Natalie asked curiously.


    "Birthday gift for you, do you like it?" Ryan stepped on the accelerator, and the red Maserati left the street rented by Natalie and galloped towards the east section of Long Island.


    "The colors are too bright, the style is too ostentatious, keep up with the East..." At this point, Natalie shrugged playfully.


    Listening to the string of reasons the girl said, Ryan shook his head slightly. Fortunately, this was not a gift he had prepared. This sports car was borrowed from the pink goblin at the Waldorf Astoria hotel where he was staying.


    "Well, actually this car belongs to Pali."


    Ryan opened a heart-shaped ornament in front of the car. Inside was a photo of a girl with platinum blonde straight hair.


    "You haven''t contacted for a long time?" Natalie asked calmly.


    "Yes." Ryan turned the steering wheel, waited for the car to turn, and then said, "I happened to meet her when I went to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel today. My car here was parked in the villa. Borrowed one."


    "Paris is still the same?"


    "Almost, I said goodbye to her without a few words."


    After all, I haven''t contacted for a while. Paris Hilton was willing to lend him this limited edition sports car. First, she had established a relationship since she was a teenager, and second, she wanted to go to Hollywood to develop.


    The car stopped in front of a villa, Ryan and Natalie walked out of the car door one after another, opened the electric gate, and entered the courtyard of the villa.


    The villa is in a typical French style. The red roof is very bright and the white walls are spotless. After walking through the small vestibule, the two enter the living room. The area of ??the house is not large and the decoration is simple. Obviously not prepared for long-term residence.


    Despite the limited area of ??the house, the location is excellent. When you walk up to the balcony on the second floor, you can see the beautiful coastline not far away. And the sparkling water, occasionally when the sea breeze blows, you can still smell the slightly salty breath.


    After walking around the villa, the two of them prepared black tea and snacks together, and returned to the balcony, sitting at the woven rattan table, enjoying afternoon tea while admiring the sea and sky in the distance.


    "Very nice place, you can settle here." Natalie stared at the sea in the distance, sipping black tea.


    "Do you like it?" Ryan seemed to say casually. "You can move in if you like, Nat."


    Natalie turned her head and stared at him blankly.


    "This can save money. The rent of your small villa should be very expensive?" Ryan immediately found a reason.


    "I just got a job, and the salary is enough to cover my expenses." Natalie lowered her eyes. Turning his head away, I can''t see that I''ve been heartbroken just now.


    jobs? Pay? These two words caught Ryan''s attention, and he asked curiously, "What movie did you take?"


    "The title of the film is tentatively called "The End of the Heart", and the director is still of Chinese origin." Natalie probably felt that she hadn''t mentioned it to Ryan, and she explained in detail with a little apology. "Originally, when the other party invited me, I refused because there was a **** scene in it, so I didn''t tell you, but a few days ago, director Pooh Wang sent someone to send a new script, and they deleted those too much. Sensitive scene."


    Ryan nodded slowly. Of course he knew which movie Natalie was talking about.


    "That''s right, Nat." Ryan pointed to the house next door suddenly, "I heard that this villa is for rent. You can rent it to us as neighbors."


    "Ryan." Natalie stared into his eyes and said very seriously. "The next year, I will participate in the sat test, filming "Heart End", and the post-dubbing of "Star Wars". I don''t have time to think about other things."


    "Sorry, Ryan."


    Presumably knowing that the words just now were a bit over, Natalie put down the tea cup and shook her big hand on the wicker chair.


    "It''s okay, dear... Nat." Holding the small hand in his palm and gently squeezing the protruding joints, Ryan asked, "Have you thought about which university to apply for?"


    "The first choice is Harvard."


    Without any hesitation, the girl gave the expected answer.


    "Clinical psychology?"


    "Hmm~"


    For Ryan, there are really no surprises.


    The sea breeze gradually cooled, and the sky dimmed. Unconsciously, the two of them sat on the balcony chatting for half an afternoon as if they were children.


    "What do you want for dinner?" Ryan didn''t mean to let Natalie leave.


    "Do you or me?" Natalie asked.


    "This one¡­¡­"


    Ryan looked at the little hand he was holding, then looked at his own hand, and quickly made a decision, "Let''s go out to eat."


    In the French restaurant of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the melodious and soothing piano sound played like running water. Ryan looked helplessly at the pink fairy sitting next to Natalie, and couldn''t help but sigh in secret.


    "How do you know I am here?"


    "I asked the people in the lobby to pay attention, and they will notify me when you come back."


    Paris Hilton took the fork and gently poked the steak in the disk. She didn''t mean to have dinner at all. She looked at Natalie again, "Hey, Nat, won''t you be upset?"


    "Of course not." Natalie smiled politely. "We haven''t seen each other in a few years, Paris."


    "Yeah, you two have become big stars." The rich daughter''s tone, with undisguised envy, "After graduating from high school next year, I also plan to go to Hollywood to develop."


    "Do you want to go to Hollywood?" Natalie was a little curious. Does this girl born with a golden spoon need to go to that Vanity Fair to roll around?


    "Yes, I want the world to remember the name Paris Hilton..."


    "Cough~" Ryan coughed lightly, and quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, "Sorry, I ate a bit faster."


    "It''s okay." Paris Hilton suddenly moved forward and asked seriously, "Ryan, can you give me some advice?"


    Although up to now, this girl has not completely escaped from the category of naive play, but this does not mean that she is a fool, but the elite education she received since childhood, let her vaguely know how to use every advantage.


    "You can sing? Have you received professional vocal studies, Parrie?" Ryan asked seriously.


    "No." Paris shook her head.


    "What about acting? Do you have relevant experience?" Ryan continued to ask.


    "No." Paris then shook her head.


    "Do you know anything about script creation or film and television production?"


    "will not."


    This time I didn''t wait for Ryan to continue asking questions. She said anxiously, "I used to be an amateur model and shot covers for many magazines."


    "So." Ryan put his right hand on the dining table and stretched out a finger. In line with his own tone, "You should develop towards fashion."


    "Fashion?" Paris shook her head subconsciously.


    "Don''t be too busy denying it." Ryan pointed to her pink shirt. "You have a lot of experience in dressing up. For example, today''s dress suits your style very well..."


    Natalie''s eyes drifted from Ryan''s face, as if he had never praised himself this way before? Damn it.


    "Ryan, are we friends?" Paris didn''t even listen to those words.


    "Of course." In any case, the friendship established as a child is far more reliable than the people who have come together now.


    "Then you can find a role for me."


    Paris Hilton suddenly grabbed Ryan''s right hand on the table and shook it gently. "It''s better to be a popular character soon, I want to become a big star soon."


    You really don¡¯t know how polite! Natalie''s eyes widened suddenly, staring at the two hands that were joined together.


    Almost at the same time that Paris''s voice fell, Ryan withdrew his hand calmly and said softly. "Pali, the words may not sound very pleasant, but without acting skills, it is difficult to find a suitable role."


    "Then what to do?" Palristo lifted his chin, showing a thoughtful look.


    In fact, Ryan wanted to tell her that you were one of the heirs of the Hilton Group. As long as you are introduced into that circle, you don''t need to make any extra moves, and you don''t even need to make outrageous moves. Just relying on your identity and appearance is enough to attract the attention of many media.


    But this is not suitable for speaking in person.


    "I have an idea." Paris'' eyes lit up and asked. "Ryan, I remember you don''t have a girlfriend?"


    Ryan didn''t answer, but looked at Natalie. The Long Island girl had already answered for him, "He didn''t."


    "That''s fine." Paris doesn''t care who the answer is. "Tomorrow, we will pretend to be a couple and go around Fifth Avenue..."


    Having said that, she shook her head, and without waiting for Ryan to refute, she said excitedly, "Ryan, let me be your girlfriend!"


    "What?" Ryan''s eyes widened in surprise.


    "Let me be your girlfriend." Paris doesn''t seem to be joking, "Don''t you think our age identities are all right?"


    At this moment, there was a crisp sound of a knife and fork hitting the disk, and Natalie Shi Shiran stood up, "Ryan, I''m full, take me home."


    "Sorry, Paris, it''s late, I''m going back." She looked at her side again.


    "Good." Ryan stood up quickly, "Goodbye, Parrie."


    He no longer gave this troublesome opportunity to speak, pulling Natalie, and leaving the Waldorf Astoria without looking back.


    "Paris is just joking."


    In the driving car, Ryan glanced at the passenger seat, and the Long Island girl was calm.


    "Have you met before?" Natalie asked softly after a long time.


    "Yeah." Ryan nodded and said slowly, "You should know how some women in this circle are."


    Natalie pressed her lips hard and stared closely at Ryan''s eyes. She thought it would be very rare for him to persist until now. Maybe she should make some concessions and change.


    "Ryan, don''t forget two days later." Natalie reminded before getting out of the car.


    "Your birthday, dear Nat."


    ps:


    Next, I will find a pure vase role for Paris Hilton, hands-on plus coquettish ()

 Chapter 321： Taught me

    "Nat, I''m leaving, you guys are having fun."


    After preparing enough snacks, Mrs. Shelly walked out of the small villa. When she passed the living room, she greeted Natalie''s friend, "Scarlett, where is your mother? Tell her that she has time to visit Long Island."


    "Mom said that after the premiere of "Bug Crisis", I will visit you, Aunt Shelly." Scarlett Johansson stood up from the sofa and replied politely.


    "Scarlet has grown up and is getting more and more beautiful." Mrs. Shelly rubbed her blonde hair.


    "It''s not as pretty as Nat." Scarlett muttered, causing several people to laugh.


    "Well, you guys have fun."


    Mrs. Shelly looked at the time. Although this was her daughter¡¯s birthday party, it was a party for young people. It was time to say goodbye. When she walked to the door and opened the door, she finally did not hold back, "Nat , Ryan is now in New York, he...but is he coming? Or did you quarrel again?"


    "Mom, the quarrel was a childhood thing, I haven''t quarreled with Ryan for a long time."


    Seeing her mother''s caring appearance, Natalie had no choice but to say, "He has gone to the blue sky studio. It is estimated that he will be there soon."


    "My dear, are you two dating?" After so long, Mrs. Shelly probably had already seen it.


    "Mom..." Natalie originally wanted to shake her head, but under her mother''s persistent eyes, she nodded gently, "Mom, don''t tell others, especially Dad, we don''t want to make it public yet."


    Mrs. Shelly seemed to be prepared for a long time, and she was not surprised at all. The two were so good, and it was natural for them to come together in the end. I hope the Hollywood atmosphere will not affect them.


    She opened the handbag, took out the things she had prepared specially when she came out, and stuffed it into Natalie''s hand, "Nat, take care to protect yourself."


    He looked at his mother who was driving away. Looking at a box of condoms in her hand again, Natalie flattened her mouth and threw it into the trash can in the hallway, and walked quickly across the living room. Prepare to bring out the last few snacks from the kitchen.


    With a soft knock on the door, Scarlett Johansson walked in suddenly, "Need help, Nat?"


    "Take these out for me." Natalie pointed to the porcelain plates on the table in front of her.


    "Is Ryan not here yet? You... aren''t there any conflicts, right?" Scarlett asked cautiously.


    Damn it! Natalie has the urge to pat her forehead. Why do people always ask him if she is the protagonist of today''s party, OK?


    "He went to the Blue Sky Studio and will be there soon." Natalie explained helplessly.


    "Oh, I remember."


    Seeing Natalie''s helpless eyes, Scarlett smiled secretly and lifted the porcelain plate in front of her. Quickly walked out of the kitchen, "I''ll help you greet that Miss Mila Kunis, Nat, you have to make up for me afterwards."


    Not many people invited Natalie to her birthday party, except for Mila Kunis, who she met because of her role in "Anne''s Diary." The rest was Scarlett Johansson. When Ryan arrived in a hurry, the three girls were sitting around the sofa, talking loudly, laughing and chatting.


    "Happy birthday, Nat." Ryan handed the gift over, and then smelled a faint smell of alcohol, "Did you drink?"


    "It''s just a little fruit wine." Natalie took the gift box. Put it on the coffee table in front of him, "This is not a public place, Ryan."


    Shrugging, Ryan didn''t say anything, greeted Mira Kunis next to him, and sat beside Natalie. After taking a glass of juice, before he could bring it to his lips, Scarlett Johansson over there grabbed the gift box on the coffee table.


    "Can you open it for a look?"


    "Whatever." Ryan didn''t care.


    "You''re welcome, Scarlett."


    As soon as Natalie''s words fell, Scarlett had quickly opened the gift box. Looking at the golden gift inside, he slowly opened his mouth, "This...isn''t it true?"


    "What''s really?" Mila Kunis also leaned over, "This...it looks like a Faberge egg..."


    She is from Eastern Europe and is fairly familiar with Russian handicrafts.


    "Ryan, is this true?" Natalie took out the easter eggs in the gift box. "This is too expensive!"


    "Come on, Nat, just a birthday present."


    birthday present? Hearing what Ryan said, the other two girls couldn''t help but poked their lips. Why didn''t they give such an expensive gift on their birthday?


    "Well, I''ll accept it." After all, the relationship between the two is no longer pure friends. Natalie found a reason to convince herself, "However, I still like this one better."


    As she said, she touched her neck with a black leather necklace on top, and a silver-white sun-shaped pendant at the bottom of the necklace. This is the most precious birthday gift she has received, and it is also the most beloved. Ornaments.


    Mila Kunis was a little confused, this should be just a pendant made of white copper, except that it was exquisite enough, it really couldn''t be seen where it was precious.


    Scarlett Johansson was different. She participated in the filming of that movie and vaguely remembered some of the circumstances at the time. She looked at Natalie and then at Ryan, and suddenly understood a lot of things.


    However, as she gets older, especially after taking part in the filming of several crews, she has matured a lot. Since the person involved does not want to talk, she is too lazy to speak.


    When Natalie walked into the kitchen, Ryan followed, quietly closed the door, hugged the long island girl''s slender waist from behind, leaned in her ear, and asked softly, "Don''t you like it?"


    "No." Natalie shook her head slowly, turned her body halfway, and slightly printed her foot on Ryan''s lips. "It''s too expensive."


    "Okay, dear." Ryan kissed her forehead. "As long as I can make my Nat happy, I''m willing to buy Pacific."


    "Yeah~"


    Natalie turned her body completely and hugged him hard, her whole head buried in her generous chest. If there weren''t two other people outside who needed to be entertained, she really wanted to hold him like that until dawn.


    Since he is the only man, Ryan spends most of the time in the role of waiter, and the other three people talk about topics between girls, and he rarely interrupts, even when it is close to midnight. When the small party ended, what he said was very limited.


    "Hi, Ryan, should you go back to the Waldorf Astoria? Can you take your ride?" Mila Kunis asked with a smile before leaving.


    "Ryan won''t go back to Manhattan, he has a house on Long Island."


    Scarlett deliberately winked at Ryan and Natalie, pulled Mila Kunis and left, "My driver is waiting outside, I''ll take you back."


    "Aren''t you going back, Ryan."


    In the living room of the villa, only Ryan and Natalie were left.


    "Someone has to clean up here, right?" Ryan pointed to the messy living room.


    "Well, let''s do it together."


    Although the three girls are the most playful age, they didn¡¯t drink too much alcohol and chatted most of the time. The trash generated was not too much. It only took less than half an hour, and the two of them were caught in the living room. Cleaned up with a new look.


    "You didn''t eat much at night, are you hungry?" Natalie asked caringly.


    "I want to control my weight." Ryan picked up the cup and sat on the sofa. "Diet has become a habit."


    ¡®By the way, where did you buy that Faberg¨¦ egg? "Natalie sat beside him.


    "Juris bought it through a relationship in Russia." Ryan explained briefly.


    "This seems to belong to Russia''s national treasure, right?" Natalie was strange. "You didn''t buy it from the Russian government, right?"


    "Hmm~"


    Ryan nodded and saw Natalie''s surprised eyes, and said, "The current Russian authorities have inherited the glorious tradition of the Soviet Union, let alone a few easter eggs. As long as they have money, those officials dare to sell even the country. ."


    "You don''t seem to like them very much?" Natalie leaned on him and found a comfortable position.


    "I think not many people in the United States like them?" Ryan turned her head and pressed a hard stamp on her white forehead. "No matter East or West, not many people like polar bears."


    "They are too greedy." Natalie pouted. "Anyone who is greedy should go to hell."


    Ryan was speechless, scratching his face without restraint, do greedy people really have to go to hell?


    "What are you doing?" Natalie was very sensitive.


    "So you kept this necklace." Ryan happened to see the pendant on Natalie''s neck and quickly changed the subject.


    "I said, this is the best gift I have ever received."


    Natalie''s hand was gently placed on the silver-white sun pendant, stroking it, as if grabbing the hearts of the people around her.


    "Nate!"


    Muttered in a low voice, Ryan hugged the girl tightly in his arms, and naturally covered her hand that was stroking the sun pendant, "We will be together forever, Nat."


    "Of course the girl showed a happy smile and slowly closed her eyes.


    Ryan''s hand moved up slowly, and her slender fingers raised her pointed chin, leading her to slowly move forward, and then lowered her head to kiss the two soft lips.


    Sucking, fiddle, and licking, he clearly remembered every sensitive part of Natalie, and few aroused the girl¡¯s enthusiastic response. That hand also slid down the white gooseneck, and got into it like a tentative. In her simple clothes.


    For some reason, Natalie flashed the rhythm of the fourth waltz and moonlight sonata in her mind. Her body gradually softened, her breathing became thicker and thicker, thinking that her fingers had never reached the realm, she felt a strong desire in her heart.


    "Re...Ryan..." She opened her blurred eyes.


    "Sorry, Nat." Ryan''s hand was resting on the buckle of the girl''s pants, and he thought Natalie was going to refuse again.


    "Chopin''s Fourth Waltz and Beethoven''s Moonlight Sonata, teach me..." ()

 Chapter 322： 2 peoples world

    There is no doubt that Chopin¡¯s fourth waltz and Beethoven¡¯s Moonlight Sonata are among the most widely circulated piano pieces in the world. Even though Ryan has put music aside in recent years and lacked enough practice, he did not forget the melody. In terms of fingering, his slender fingers, like an artist, were all submerged under the girl''s clothes, using a constantly changing rhythm to stir her heartstrings and the frequency of humming.


    Natalie lost her eyes. It was this long-lost feeling of floating in the clouds. It was this feeling that she could not find after several attempts. The hand that slipped down seemed to have magical powers, and it made her intoxicated easily. In it.


    At this moment, her smart and calm brain, which she has always been proud of, was completely in chaos. She didn''t bother to think anymore, just wanting to follow the rhythm of the movement of that hand and climb to the peak of life.


    Natalie, in a state of excitement, acquiesced to Ryan''s other hand. That hand quickly and skillfully unbuttoned her clothes. It didn''t take long for the girl''s blushing snow-white skin to be exposed to full of affection. The sticky air.


    Ryan''s breathing gradually increased. In front of him was one of his favorite people, his other half of the world, feeling Natalie''s sudden tight body and the hands holding his arms, if he could bear it. , He is definitely more sacred than all the saints since the birth of mankind.


    "Nate..."


    While whispering, Ryan swept away everything on the coffee table in front of him, sliding down the floor, and then gently placed Natalie in his arms on it.


    While drifting, Natalie felt her body had left the warm embrace of her immense nostalgia, her smooth back fell on the cold and hard table, she couldn''t help frowning slightly.


    "Ryan, don''t be here." Natalie opened her big eyes, although full of affection, but with persistence, "This...this is my first time..."


    "Sorry."


    Ryan leaned over and kissed her forehead and hugged Natalie in front of him. At the fastest speed, he came to the bedroom where the group photo of the two was hung.


    Lying in the bedroom, Natalie stared at the firm face in front of her, and suddenly felt that her persistence over the past year was a bit ridiculous, and she could feel it. Ryan''s feelings for himself came from the deepest part of his heart, and he couldn''t help but embrace him, rubbing his sturdy chest with his cheek.


    I should hurry up, hurry up to follow in his footsteps, hurry up to the heights of Hollywood, hurry up holding Ryan''s hand, and stand in front of everyone.


    At this time, both men and women feel extremely sensitive. Ryan realized that Natalie was distracted, and immediately lowered her head on her tall nose, biting it with care, and when the brown eyes looked over, she showed a playful smile. Slowly stroked her forehead, nose tip, lips, collarbone, and finally fell between a piece of softness.


    "Nate."


    Ryan stared closely at his brown eyes, without any sign of rejection, but with obvious encouragement. Then Natalie bit her lip hard and frowned tightly.


    As Ryan¡¯s kiss rained down on her most sensitive place, Natalie understood that this battle of two lives had just begun. Although the pain came from her body, the smile on her mouth grew more and more. The thicker it is, the sun cannot melt until noon at the equator. The deep ice of Antarctica cannot be frozen.


    Natalie hugged Ryan tightly, feeling his strength, feeling his impact, feeling the pain and happiness he brought, she believed that she would always be a winner. Regardless of career or love.


    In her sleep, Natalie seemed to have gone back to 1989 and returned to the pastry shop at the gate of Winnett Park. Next to the only empty seat there, a thin, light brown-haired teenager greeted her.


    "Hey, Nat, it''s time to get up for breakfast."


    get up? breakfast? Natalie slowly opened her eyes, her brown eyes still carrying a rare confusion. When she saw Ryan''s familiar face, she burst into a bright smile, raised her face slightly, waiting for the sweetest morning. kiss.


    After a hard kiss on the girl''s soft lips, Ryan picked her up and grabbed the clothes she found in the closet.


    "Do you need my help?"


    "I''m not a baby." Natalie wrinkled her nose.


    "Okay, I''ll warm up the breakfast."


    Seeing the figure walking out, Natalie quickly got dressed. After careful washing, she rubbed her waist and walked into the restaurant. As expected, the so-called breakfast is nothing more than hot milk and the remaining snacks from yesterday. Take Ryan this guy. The level of cooking skills can only prepare these ready-made foods.


    "Eat whatever you want, we''ll go outside later." Ryan put the hot milk in front of her.


    "Are you going to work today?" Natalie drank milk, exhausted too much energy last night, she was indeed hungry.


    "The character image is being determined in the animated feature film of Blue Sky Studio. I want to go and see it." Ryan suggested, "Together?"


    "Do you think I am suitable for going out today?" Natalie couldn''t help but glared at him.


    Ryan had no choice but to smile, then scratched his head awkwardly, and took the hot snack.


    After Natalie finished her breakfast, Ryan simply cleaned up, dialed George''s phone, and told him to come and pick him up, ready to go to the blue sky studio, and continue the work that was not completed yesterday.


    "Then I''m leaving, Nat." Ryan opened the door.


    Natalie stood a few feet away, looking at him quietly, without saying a word, Ryan could almost see his reflection in the twinkling eyes. This proud girl seemed to be using this. This is a special way to tell her love for him.


    "Nat, I..."


    With a sigh, Ryan closed the door, stepped across all the distance between the two, and hugged Natalie tightly.


    He lowered his body slightly, placed his chin on the thin shoulders, and Natalie stood on tiptoe tacitly and hugged him in the same posture.


    Where Ryan could not see, Natalie gave a smile that belonged to the winner.


    Although she didn''t show it, Ryanken gave up her busiest summer job and stayed here to accompany herself. She was very happy.


    After gently kissing every inch of Natalie''s pretty face, Ryan suppressed the impulse in his heart. After the two sat together sweetly, he took out his mobile phone and dialed one number after another.


    "George, let someone go to the villa and bring the notebook for me. That''s right! Send it to Nat."


    "Sorry, Chris, I''m in a hurry. I may not be able to make it through the last few days. You must first determine the framework behind the "Ice Age", and the character image will be discussed in a few days.


    "Melani, you negotiate with Ed for the premiere of "Bug Crisis", I can''t get out of it here. Scarlett? Hello, Scarlett, remember to tell your mother."


    "Drew, have you determined the number of theaters to be shown? Well, remember what I reminded you, you must prepare enough copies, and find a way to make the Discovery Channel broadcast the edited video again. That''s it. Well, I gave you a miracle."


    Natalie flipped through the script of "The End of the Grass". Although her eyes were on the paper, her thoughts were all on Ryan. Hearing his calls one by one, all discussions with others were investment of tens of millions of dollars. For his movie project, the more I feel that I should speed up, otherwise he will be pulled further and further.


    However, don''t worry, plan for the future yourself.


    In every era, Hollywood has very representative women. Her goal in the next few years is to become the most outstanding Hollywood actress born 80 years later. As far as it goes, it is Natalie Portmandy. One¡­¡­


    Ryan stayed here for the next few days. The two of them had almost never gone out. They ordered takeaways when they were hungry. They pushed back temporarily when there was an emergency, and if they couldn¡¯t push, they simply handed it over to George. They enjoyed being alone. The world of two people.


    For the first time between a man and a woman, subsequent things will happen naturally. When Natalie recovers a little bit, the entire villa becomes their battlefield. As long as they are interested, the two of them don¡¯t care about the time and place. , Only the most primitive way can we vent our emotions towards each other.


    Sometimes, Ryan and Natalie meet each other inadvertently, which can ignite love.


    The consequence of this is that after a few days, the documents that Ryan had struck were still blank. The character Natalie was studying had no experience, only watery eyes and ruddy cheeks, proving what they had been doing recently.


    Although his heart is full of nostalgia, Ryan is leaving. He can''t stay here for too long. The premiere of "Bug Crisis" is coming soon.


    "I''m really leaving this time, Nat."


    As soon as his words fell, Natalie hung her neck, and the two kissed deeply.


    "Ryan, you are a badass." After the two separated, Natalie whispered in his ear.


    "Hey, dear Nat, you just said that these are the happiest days of life In fact, Ryan understands that Taylor''s ability to cross rivers and bridges was learned from Natalie.


    "I used to think I might be an ascetic..."


    "Come on, Nat." Ryan interrupted her, "I don''t want my girlfriend to become a weird woman with an aggrieved look."


    "You always make sense." These few days are indeed the happiest time in her life, both mentally and physically.


    "Well, Nat, I''m going to be late." Ryan looked at his watch, and finally reminded, "Don''t forget to attend the premiere tomorrow night. George will send a car to pick you up, and Taylor will also come. ."


    "Got it." Natalie deliberately prolonged her voice.


    Ryan waved his hand and strode out of the villa, saying that Nat, you must go. There will be a lot of naughty little guys tomorrow night. If you don''t go, then I will become the miserable kid king.


    Pixar''s second full-computer 3D animation is about to be released. Will this studio mastering the latest animation technology complete a complete transformation? ()

 Chapter 323： Insects Mobilization

    The summer season is the peak season for movies, and it is also the most competitive time. Since Pixar Studios dare to put the movie in this time period, it must be full of confidence, and with the full support of Ryan and Paramount Pictures, " "Bug Crisis" has a comprehensive global release plan. It will not be like in the previous life. In many places overseas, it can only be used to release DVDs.


    This animated feature film has attracted a lot of attention in the industry. Many people want to see if "Saving Private Ryan" is under pressure from the box office of more than $55 million in the first week. Does "Bug Crisis" really make a difference? As, even if there is a huge difference between the audiences of the two.


    In addition, what Hollywood is most concerned about is the direct confrontation between 3D computer animation and 2D hand-drawn animation. One week after the release of "Bug Crisis", Disney invested a huge production budget and promotion and marketing expenses for "Mulan" will also be launched in North America. Although in the past few years, it has been said that hand-painted animation is declining, and 3D computer animation will become the mainstream in the future, but it is up to the market and the audience to decide whether to do it accurately or not.


    There are still many people who are interested in watching the lively. Although it seems that the two animated feature films are in a legitimate competition, people with a discerning eye know that Disney put this cartoon drawn from the far east behind the "Bug Crisis". , There must be a shadow of Michael Eisner.


    However, Pixar Studio wants to completely complete the transformation from the ugly duckling to the white swan, and such competition is inevitable.


    This premiere not only attracted the attention of the entertainment media, but also many financial reporters came to the famous chain theater in Times Square.


    "Ike, why are you here, do you want to switch to entertainment news?"


    In the interview area at the end of the red carpet, taking advantage of Ryan''s free time after entering, an entertainment reporter asked a familiar financial reporter.


    "Alex, you should broaden your horizons and think about it. If this animated film is successful, Pixar''s stock price will surely rise sharply, and countless investors and financial professionals are staring at it."


    "By the way, I heard that the foundation under Ryan''s name, in addition to Yahoo''s shares, also holds a lot of shares in IT companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Dell, and Apple. Is it true?"


    "It''s true, but not many, except Cisco. Everything else is absorbed from the market."


    "How much is that worth?"


    "This one¡­¡­"


    The theater door cut off the disturbance from the outside. Ryan circled the front hall to greet him, and walked to Harvey Weinstein. This big fat man had a haggard face, and his eyes were covered with fine bloodshot eyes. Apparently he hadn''t rested recently. it is good.


    "Harvey, how are you preparing?" Ryan asked in a low voice.


    "It''s almost there." Harvey Weinstein sighed, with a trace of perseverance, "Just give up Miramax. Bob and I are really unwilling."


    Ryan patted his shoulder lightly and didn''t say much. The Weinstein brothers were all smart and courageous, and they changed hands and took the initiative to leave. Better than being ousted by Michael Eisner.


    "Nicole and I have reserved enough funds, and we will wait for you and Bob."


    The two parties have been working together for so many years and are old friends again. Harvey Weinstein can naturally hear whether Ryan is polite or sincere. Nodded seriously, "Thank you, Ryan."


    He is not worried that Ryan will become the next Michael Eisner. After all, there are not a few film companies and studios invested by the other party. Except for necessary support, they hardly interfere with their normal operations and daily management. Drew Barrymore¡¯s Flower Pictures is the best example. Such investors and cooperation. The winner is the most popular.


    What''s more, he is regarded as the person who watched him grow up, and he has been in friendship for nearly ten years. He knows that he is a nostalgic person.


    "Ryan..."


    Natalie and Scarlett Johansson each took a little girl dressed up and walked into the theater. After finding Ryan''s location, they quickly walked over, "Hello, Harvey."


    "Oh, hello, Nat, Scarlett, Tyler, and Kristen." The big fat man beckoned them and looked at the blonde curly hair, "Taylor, I heard that you also voiced a character ?"


    "Yeah~" Taylor let go of the hand holding Natalie, and made a little lady''s gift. "The character I dubbed is called Xiao Budian, the little princess of the Ant Kingdom."


    "Is it fun, dear?" Ryan habitually rubbed her blonde hair.


    "It''s not fun." Taylor shook his head dissatisfiedly, and said, "I still prefer to sing, Ryan, why doesn''t this movie have a theme song? I heard that Disney''s "Mulan" has Lots of nice songs."


    "Taylor, there must be a chance in the future." Natalie''s eyes swept across Ryan. When she passed the sky blue eyes, she revealed meanings that only two people could understand. She took the little girl''s hand again. Asked, "How do you know there are many songs in "Mulan"?"


    "The two of us listened to others..." It was Kristen Stewart who spoke, "Disney wants to compete with us and wants to use "Mulan" to defeat "Bug Crisis."


    Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head, these little girls were too gossip.


    "Mr. Weinstein, will we win?" Taylor looked at the big fat man.


    "Should you ask Ryan?" Harvey Weinstein laughed.


    "But..." The little girl''s sapphire blue eyes kept turning, "but I have heard many people say that you have a particularly good eye for movies, and you have a particularly accurate prediction of movies."


    After that, she looked at Scarlett''s side again, "Right, Christine."


    "Well, that''s it." The tomboy from the Stewart family has always been her follower, and nodded busy at this time.


    Harvey Weinstein laughed happily when he heard the words of two little girls singing and making a peace. Anyone who was complimented by such two little girls would be happy.


    "Let''s put it this way, do you know the theme of "Mulan"?"


    "I know." Tyler stuck out his tongue and pointed at Natalie next to him. "Nate told me specifically that it was an ancient story from the East. It is said that there are related poems, but Nat chanted it. I don''t understand all of them."


    "Because of the subject matter, "Mulan" should not be the opponent of "Bug Crisis" in North America, but it is hard to say overseas."


    Four girls on the opposite side. Not to mention the older two, but the two who are less than ten years old in front of them. Which of them didn''t play big in a film company since they were young. Harvey Weinstein believes they can understand their own words.


    "That''s it." The two little girls nodded unconsciously.


    "Ryan, I''m going to say hello to the others."


    Seeing that the curious little girl wanted to ask other questions, Harvey Weinstein hurriedly left. He knew how difficult this little guy named Taylor Swift was, "Goodbye, four beautiful ladies."


    When the chubby figure disappeared into the crowd, Natalie was the first to laugh. Then Scarlett also laughed.


    "Is it funny?" Tyler wrinkled his nose, scanned around, and tugged Natalie''s hand. "It''s been a long time since I came to New York, Nat, will you take me and Christine out tomorrow?"


    "Of course." Natalie agreed happily, then looked at Ryan questioningly and asked, "Do you want to take him?"


    "No." The little girl shook her head very fast. "I don''t want to talk to Ryan. He wouldn''t take me to Moscow and Fiji. I hate him."


    "Hey, dear, don''t forget that I brought you so many gifts." Seeing the flames of war. Ryan couldn''t help but speak.


    The little girl turned her head and put on a picture that I just don''t want to talk to you.


    "Okay, dear." Ryan reluctantly rubbed her hair. "Didn''t you miss Nicole. After having fun in New York, I will let the plane take you to Australia."


    Anyway, she is off for summer vacation, it is better to send it to Australia to harm Nicole and the farm.


    "Really?" Taylor''s eyes lit up.


    "no sooner said than done."


    "Can you add me?" Christine raised his hand weakly.


    "no problem."


    Ryan''s voice just fell. Ed Kamel came over and reminded them, "Ryan, there are four ladies, it''s almost time, we should enter the theater."


    "Hurry up, hurry up." Taylor was more active than anyone else, pulling up Natalie and leaving, not forgetting to turn around and shout to Scarlett, "Little fat girl, tomboy, hurry up!"


    "Taylor!" Scarlett Johansson gritted his teeth.


    In a beautiful ant kingdom, everyone is working hard all day. An ant named Felic has his own hobby¡ªinventing and creating. Although he worked hard to invent a kind of "harvesting machine", the kingdom The rulers of the Queen Ant and Princess Anta still look down upon him and his invention.


    The biggest threat to the ant kingdom is a group of grasshoppers. This group of grasshoppers always **** food from the ants. They are the dark clouds above the ant kingdom. When a grasshopper was plundering, Felic accidentally bumped the grain under the cliff. The angry grasshopper leader overlord caught the princess¡¯s sister, Xiao Budian, to vent his anger, and threatened that if he didn¡¯t get double the grain next time, he would Bloodbath the ant kingdom.


    Because Felic lost all the food, everyone vented their fears and dissatisfaction on him, and the Ant Kingdom decided to expel Felic.


    In order to stay in his ethnic group, Felic came to the city and wanted to find a group of powerful bug warriors so as to defeat the grasshoppers, but by mistake, it found a group of unemployed circuses. actor.


    After coming to the ant kingdom, the ants did not believe in these weird-looking insects very much, and the insects themselves were a little afraid, so they retreated and prepared to leave here. Although Felic was disappointed after learning the true identity of the insects, He tried his best to prevent the insects from leaving, otherwise he would be considered a big liar by the ants.


    Later, they met the bird, the natural enemy of insects. The circus actors rescued Felic and Xiao Budian, gained the favor of the ants, and regained their confidence. Moreover, Felic was inspired by the birds and decided to make one. Fake birds come to scare away the grasshoppers.


    The fake bird was finished, and the king brought his villain to the ant kingdom. Who knew that the boss of the circus came to his insect actors. When the ants learned that the insects were actors in the circus, they were extremely disappointed.


    The ant kingdom expelled Felic and the insects. Just at this time, the grasshopper army arrived. With little persuasion, Felic and the insects decided to fight the grasshoppers together. Although the fake birds began to frighten the locusts'' attack, all kinds of accidents happened. Overlord saw through the fake bird and was ready to destroy the ant kingdom in one fell swoop. (To be continued...)


    ps: Three shifts today ()

 Chapter 324： Its another summer file

    The movie is gradually coming to an end. Like all mainstream Hollywood movies, it will always be infinitely close to the mainstream values, and "Bug Crisis" will naturally be no exception.


    Through a group of insects, it shows its value orientations such as responsibility, unity and freedom. Despite the suspicion of preaching somewhat, Pixar Studios has made these excellent integrations into the movie through some interesting scenes, making the audience laugh. At the same time, I was unconsciously worried about the fate of these insects.


    Good guys will always defeat bad guys, and bad guys will never end well.


    After all, this is a movie for all ages, and the ending is almost customary in Hollywood.


    Facing the bullying of the grasshopper leader, Felic stepped forward and proved with his words and actions that small ants can also do big things. The ant kingdom is united and bravely resisted. There are far fewer than them. The grasshopper is not an opponent at all and can only flee in a hurry.


    Overlord was unwilling to fail, and caught Felic, but was introduced into the nest by the little ants, and eventually became a delicious meal for the nestlings.


    The plot of the movie is not complicated, and it inherits the style of "Toy Story" very well. While it is fun, it also brings something worth thinking about.


    In addition to these, the most eye-catching is the picture. This animated feature film has many detailed scenes. Among them, you can see that Pixar Studios has made great progress in technology after "Toy Story". The group of idealists , Has never been willing to slow down.


    "All the dolls need a complete set..."


    Walking out of the screening hall, Taylor stood at the place where the peripheral products were sold. After looking at Christine and Scarlett, she quickly changed her words, "No, three sets!"


    "My dear, I remember you took a lot from Pixar." Ryan asked in surprise.


    "It was given to me by Director Lasseter and Mr. Camel, haven''t you given it yet?" The little girl was plausible, her mouth full of perversions.


    Ryan had to open his pockets wide. At the same time, she asked Natalie next to her, "Do you need it, Nat?"


    The Long Island girl took Taylor and shook her head firmly.


    "Okay. We should leave, otherwise the press conference will end and the reporters will be entangled."


    After several bodyguards picked up a bunch of dolls, Ryan walked towards the back door with a group of people, and suddenly remembered one thing, "Taylor, don''t you need to attend the press conference?"


    "Nate said those guys are annoying, so I don''t want to go." The little girl rolled her eyes, let go of Natalie, and walked to Ryan. Said pitifully, "I''m hungry..."


    "I''ll be back to the hotel soon, and we will order a takeaway." Ryan took her and quickened his pace.


    "No, I''m going to the restaurant on the top floor of the Empire State Building." The little girl pouted.


    The summer vacation has just begun. The works of various film companies are released one after another, and many of them are selling at the box office. There are more movies in the theater for one week or even three days. For example, Warner Bros. invested more than 40 million to produce "Looking for Camilo City." It was released a week earlier than "Saving Private Ryan", but the box office results were extremely miserable, even though Warner invested a lot of resources in the follow-up. Still no improvement, after the "Bug Crisis" was released, the animated film was sadly offline.


    Fortunately, the overseas copyrights are sold ahead of time, and some of the investment can be recovered.


    The first major-produced animated feature film suffered a fiasco in the summer, which made many people worry about the prospect of "Bug Crisis".


    And compared to the amazing "Toy Story", the professional media''s evaluation of this animated feature film is not too high. It is believed that Pixar Studio has made obvious progress in technology, but lacks in storytelling.


    Of course, whether it is the production party Pixar Studios. The distributor, Paramount Pictures, has done all the publicity and public relations work extremely well. Many of the film¡¯s total budget of 100 million US dollars has been thrown on this. Most mainstream media have basically criticized it after veiled criticism. They all think that''this is definitely a movie worth the price, and it''s worth watching with the whole family in the theater''.


    Ryan''s team also made key recommendations for the movie on his personal website. Although this movie has flaws, it has more flashes.


    After three days of the first week, "Bug Crisis" won the North American box office of more than 35 million US dollars. For the animated feature film, this is already a very good result, even if it does not get the North American weekly box office ranking. The throne of the top of the list is enough to make Pixar Studios breathe a sigh of relief.


    You know, the one who sits at the top of the North American box office rankings, but "Saving Private Ryan", after the second full week, although the box office of this movie has declined, it still relies on more than 43 million U.S. dollars. At the box office number, it disregards all the movies in the same period.


    This is a very normal phenomenon. The eight paradoxes of saving one in "Saving Private Ryan" have aroused widespread discussion in North America, which naturally attracts a large audience, and the bulk of the revenue of "Bug Crisis" is not at the box office. , All kinds of derivatives are the main source of profit.


    Although the main role of "Bug Crisis" is not a very popular bug in reality, the cute image in the movie still attracts a large number of people to pay for it.


    Ryan has no intention of leaving New York for the time being. There are many things waiting for him to deal with. After seeing the plan for the "X-Men" series in Marvel Comics, and briefly saying a few comments, he brought two The little girl with a dead skinny face, got in the car and came to the blue sky studio.


    "Let me think about it, comics, dolls, electronic models, God, Christine, we didn''t even clean up the warehouse of surprise."


    Sitting boringly next to Ryan, Taylor was still complaining to his companions, "The squirrel that Lantian just made is very good, Christine, remember to remind me to bring more when I go."


    "Um~ this is a good idea." The little girl with short brown hair nodded her head sharply.


    "Dear two little ladies, that squirrel has just confirmed its image, and there is no related product."


    Ryan saw that the corners of Chris Wedge''s mouth was trembling, so he said, "Sorry, Chris, the two of them are too naughty."


    "This is Scott''s genius daughter, right?" Unexpectedly, this little girl''s reputation spread to New York.


    "Do you know my dad?" Tyler''s royal blue eyes rolled around, seeming to be thinking about something again.


    "we are very good friends."


    When the other party said so, Taylor stuck out his tongue and became much quieter.


    "Leave them alone, let''s continue." Ryan motioned for the two little guys to be quiet.


    "We intend to use squirrels to lead the whole story. At present, we have identified three animal protagonists, Sid the Sloth, Manny the Mammoth, and Diego the Sabretooth Tiger. The general image of the animal has just been seen, and you have recognized Ryan. As for the specific storyline, the writing team is currently working hard to write it."


    Chris Witch took a sip of coffee and continued, "According to the plan, we will start the official animation production in September, which is scheduled to be completed in two thousand years. The release matter..."


    With that, he looked at Ryan.


    "I will let someone contact the appropriate issuer." Ryan nodded.


    In Blue Sky Studio¡¯s "Ice Age" plan, Ryan did not interfere much, just like Pixar Studio, he would only give some suggestions to avoid detours. These two top animation studios in the future, as long as they follow The normal trajectory development is just fine.


    What he provided most came from financial assistance.


    No one wants "Ice Age" to succeed more than Chris Wedge or Blue Sky Studios. When Ryan bought them, Blue Sky Studios and Pixar Studios were dubbed as two ugly ducklings. Now Pixar Having achieved great success, they naturally want to completely transform into a white swan.


    Even through "Titanic", Blue Sky Studio has proven its technical ability, but works that do not have **** are still not considered successful.


    After spending half an afternoon in the blue sky studio, Ryan left, and in the car going back, the two little girls were holding the dolls from Surprise Search. They laughed so hard that they could not find them.


    "Aren''t you going back to the hotel?" Ryan asked.


    "What are you going to do? The little fat girl is back to Los Angeles." Taylor looked over strangely, "Do you want us to go back and play with that pink fairy? I don''t want to, she is too naive and naive!"


    naive? Naive? Are you sure you are not talking about yourself?


    Ryan was too lazy to argue, and continued to ask, "Then send you to find Nat."


    "She wants to study the script." There was a look of horror on Taylor''s face, as if thinking of extremely horrible things. Poisoned people."


    "Well~ it''s terrible." The other girl also nodded.


    Is it so scary? Ryan knows Natalie''s cooking skills, so she never tastes the food she cooks. These two little girls are likely to be her test subjects.


    Nat, you actually used a child to do an evil human experiment, and you won''t let you go another day. Many untimely pictures appeared in Ryan''s mind.


    "That... By the way, Ryan, "Mulan" is about to be released, are we going to watch it?" Tyler''s eyes were filled with desire. Always very interested.


    "We should not increase the box office for Disney." Christian rarely expressed his opinion.


    "Idiot Christine, the three of us, yes, we have to call Nat. How many dollars can the four of us spend?" As if to confirm his own statement, Taylor took out a small purse from Christine''s backpack. , Took out a few green banknotes and said, "Pocket money is for use, not for accumulation, dear Christine." ()

 Chapter 325： The age of computer animation

    Sitting in the luxurious box on the second floor, Ryan and Natalie removed the disguise on their faces, and advertisements and other movie trailers were playing on the big screen, and there was still some time before the movie started.


    However, they were the only ones in the box, and the two little girls who were clamoring to see "Mulan" a few days ago disappeared.


    Just yesterday, Ryan received a call from Nicole and asked them to send two little guys who had been on summer vacation to Australia. In his words at the time, let them harm the Australians.


    "Beware of someone suing you for kidnapping and selling underage children." Natalie was obviously deliberately asking Ryan for trouble.


    "It''s a pity that this crime will not be convicted. The person who took them was Julius. Scott had signed the guardian certificate." Ryan opened a pack of pistachios, peeled off the peel skillfully, and removed the crispy fruit. Jen put it into Natalie''s little hand. "Nat, don''t you think it''s weird to let two little girls mix in between us."


    "Strange?" Natalie adjusted the back of the soft chair first, then looked over, "What are you thinking about, Ryan?"


    "I was thinking, maybe I can spend the night with you tonight."


    Ryan stretched out her fingers, gently hooked Natalie''s chin, and kissed it slightly. Natalie''s defiant "whoop" quickly turned into a thick nasal sound, and her hands hung on her unconsciously. On Ryan''s neck.


    The slender fingers just picked up the blouse, Natalie quickly pressed on it, her brown eyes suddenly opened, and she pushed his forehead lightly with her forehead, and quickly pulled away, her eyes gleaming, staring fiercely. Come here.


    "Ryan, this is a public place!" Although the voice was extremely low, there was an uncontrollable irritation in it.


    "This is a closed box..." Seeing Natalie''s firm eyes, Ryan closed his mouth. Obediently withdrew his hand, "Well, Nat, let''s watch the movie."


    On the big screen. The opening credits of Walt Disney''s movie have just been released.


    This movie looks full of oriental style. In fact, it was just a western film dressed in an oriental garb, and it fell in the eyes of people like Ryan who had lived on the opposite side for so many years in his previous life. Many plots and scenes are indecent.


    This is a fairly good hand-drawn animation. Although it can only be regarded as a relatively ordinary work in Disney''s animation, it has inherited the usual style of Disney animation. The combination of music and songs is excellent, especially the song sung by Christina Aguilera.


    "Is it boring, Nat?" Ryan found that Natalie didn''t focus much on the movie.


    "I thought I could see movies showing foreign cultures, but I didn''t expect..." Natalie curled her lips and made a gesture that you understand. "In essence, this movie is incompatible with "Aladdin" and "Wind". There is not much difference between "Zhong Yuan"."


    "Film must first adapt to the market."


    Anyway, I''ve seen it several times in my previous life. Ryan also took his gaze back from the big screen, "Now the world''s most important film markets are in North America, Europe, and Japan, South Korea and other countries in the Far East that are deeply influenced by Western culture."


    "The paradox of art and business?" Natalie laughed.


    "Business and art have long been entangled together, and can''t be separated anymore." Ryan started playfully. I don''t want to continue this topic that may cause a dispute between the two, "Since it is boring, shall we go back?"


    "Um... OK." Natalie thought for a while and nodded.


    She took Ryan''s sunglasses and hat, carefully put them on for him, and simply packed herself, took Ryan''s hand, and strode out of the box.


    After whispering to the driver to drive, Ryan raised the partition to isolate the front and rear seats of the car.


    "Chirps and chirps, Mulan is the householder weaving. I don''t hear the machine, but the woman sighs. Ask the woman what she thinks, and ask her what she remembers. Women also have nothing to think, and women have nothing to remember..."


    Although Natalie''s pronunciation was extremely nonstandard, Ryan could still hear what she was reading, "Did you make preparations before you came, Nat?"


    "Uh-huh~" Natalie replied, "I specially found this song "Mulan Ci", but unfortunately I couldn''t remember all of it."


    "Very strange poems, the format is completely different from the sonnets." She sighed, staring at Ryan and asked, "Aren''t you very researched about their culture? Tell me about the rhythmic characteristics of these ancient poems. ?"


    "Ah..." Ryan scratched his face, even if this thing went to the other side to ask, how many people knew about it?


    Natalie probably saw something, and obviously didn''t want to let him go, "Or you make a song? Maybe you don''t understand it at all, right?"


    Well, I only know what rhymes are needed, and I really don¡¯t know anything else.


    Ryan can only sigh from the bottom of his heart. In his previous life, he was studying mathematics, physics and chemistry, and when he was not afraid to travel around the world, English was even more prosperous. On the contrary, the language of his own nation was neglected by people. How many people understand the things?


    "This is too difficult." Ryan had no choice but to admit in disguise.


    Perhaps Ryan''s expression was a little frustrated. Natalie approached him and kissed him actively, "No one knows everything, Ryan."


    "But your blow has hurt my fragile soul." Ryan''s face had already been practiced.


    Now it was Natalie''s turn to be helpless. She rolled her eyes and pressed her forehead viciously against his shoulder, and quickly moved away from here without waiting for Ryan to fight back.


    "Am I that scary, Nat."


    "No, this is not the way home." Natalie happened to see the brightly lit street outside.


    "Let''s go to the villa by the sea." Ryan pulled her over and stroked her brown curly hair lightly. "We haven''t been together for a long time."


    "It''s only been a few days." Despite her lips, Natalie made no objection.


    Probably it is the relationship between age and mentality. Natalie feels that her needs are not strong. After those crazy days, she almost vented the enthusiasm she had accumulated for a long time. Sometimes she felt that she slept quietly with Ryan. Happier things.


    However, when the two of them walked into the bedroom on the second floor of the villa facing the sea, they all went into nothing.


    For the first time in her life, she took the initiative, looking down at her lover¡¯s firm face. With his assistance, she shook her body slowly and rhythmically. What came from her mind was not only physical happiness, but also psychological Wonderful taste.


    The feeling of being condescending turned out to be so beautiful.


    Natalie knew that Ryan couldn''t stay in New York for a long time, and she didn''t know when she would wait until the next time she enjoyed it.


    "Mulan" and "Insect Crisis" were released a week apart and attracted the attention of many interested people. They all wanted to determine the future development trend of 3D computer animation and 2D hand-drawn animation through the most intuitive market response.


    In particular, the large Hollywood film companies, such as Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox, have animation studios under their control, and they have to determine the most appropriate development method.


    Although they believed what Ryan had said, they also hoped that Pixar Studio would succeed again. After all, it is not too difficult to obtain computer animation technology from partners. In their trial, Ryan did not eat alone. meaning.


    But Disney is Hollywood, and even the world''s number one animation giant. Even if the animation department has shown signs of decline in the past few years, it cannot be underestimated.


    Although there are many ways to make money for animated films, the box office numbers can always explain some problems.


    After the second full week, "Bug Crisis" received more than 33 million U.S. dollars. Although it was down from last week, it remained stable at a considerable number.


    "Mulan", which was released for three days, received more than $26 million after the first weekend. Compared with other animated films produced by Disney after "The Lion King", there is almost no gap. As long as the box office in the next few weeks, no There has been a sharp decline, and it is not difficult to achieve profit at the box office alone.


    After two weeks of popularity, "Saving Private Ryan" gradually tended to calm down, but with a box office of close to 32 million, it was enough to overwhelm Disney''s masterpiece and occupy the second place in the North American weekly box office rankings.


    As for the championship, it is naturally "Bug Crisis". This animation film, which was not valued by Disney in its previous life and was not released in many markets, became the most eye-catching animated feature film this year. Pixar Studios established itself in animation. The status of the film.


    "Bug Crisis" for Ryan and Pixar Studios has brought more than just box office and peripheral revenue. After the news that it became the weekly box office leaderboard, the stock price rose accordingly. High-priced it stocks have now become star stocks in the hearts of countless investors.


    Looking at the soaring stock price If it is not clear what the future of Pixar Studios is, Ryan has the urge to sell it, even if some shares were released when it went public in 1995, but now Holding it in your hand will make countless people jealous.


    Although the comparison between hand-drawn animation and computer animation will be a long-term process, many people already have their own measurement in their minds. There are more and more film companies talking about technology transfer and cooperation with Pixar, including Warner and Twentieth Century Fox. Such a movie giant.


    The ugly duckling of the past has completely transformed into a white swan in everyone''s eyes.


    There are still many people who cast envy and jealous eyes on Ryan. The investment of 50 million US dollars that year was exchanged for billions of dollars worth of shares. If anyone still says Ryan is a business idiot, he is likely to be They drowned with saliva. Looking at the United States, how many people can make this kind of investment with a return rate of tens of times?


    Or is he really kissed by God when he was born?


    In any case, Pixar''s success has greatly promoted the rapid development of computer action. Even DreamWorks Animation Studios decided to end the hand-drawn animation in their hands as soon as possible and start their own computer animation era. ()

 Chapter 326： Technology is unstoppable

    After entering July, both "Bug Crisis" and "Mulan" have steadily moved towards a box office of 100 million US dollars. Although Disney has successively invested more resources, after the weekly box office rankings are released, "Bug Crisis" "It is always at the end of "Mulan", and the North American box office numbers accumulated between the two have gradually widened the gap.


    In addition to the box office, in terms of derivatives that account for the bulk of animation revenue, "Mulan" has shown its inherent flaws, and its sales are even less than one-third of "Bug Crisis."


    Even if "Mulan" is essentially a Western film dressed in an oriental garb, the subject matter still brings limitations in the North American market. The vast majority of American audiences in this era don''t like movie themes that have nothing to do with the United States. Mulan is different from Aladdin, the latter is widely circulated in the West after all, and the story of the former has a limited audience before the movie.


    Gradually, Disney¡¯s management, especially Roy Disney and others who once took charge of the animation department, expressed dissatisfaction with Michael Eisner¡¯s intervention in the release time of "Mulan". Ryan listened to some people. According to the revealed news, the two parties had a fierce quarrel at Walt Disney''s routine board meeting, and even Roy Disney and others withdrew from the meeting that day in anger.


    Although Walt Disney has a clear gap with Time Warner, Viacom, and News Corporation, it is also an out-and-out media giant with numerous resources in its hands. In the face of such direct competition, it is controlled and related to them. The media launched a massive propaganda offensive.


    This time they no longer create momentum for "Mulan", and perhaps Disney also understands that due to the type of subject matter, it is difficult for this animated feature film to be as long as "Insect Crisis" in the North American market.


    They aimed directly at the computer animation, and carefully crafted comments appeared one after another.


    "Hand-drawn animation. It is a hand-painted artist who uses a brush and his own hands to create strokes strokes. The image of the character is extremely full. It contains the creator''s painstaking effort. It is full of artistic vitality. But what about computer animation?"


    "Using cold computers and programmed software, the characters are rigid. Every move is like a puppet. As for the artistry, has anyone seen it?"


    "The origin of art is to restore our lives. Human hands are the best carrier. It is not a cold and lifeless computer."


    Similar comments flooded the pages of many media, and Ryan naturally noticed them. After he contacted Tina Brown, a refuted article appeared in the new issue of Vanity Fair.


    "Since the 1930s and 1940s, hand-painted animation has appeared in our vision. No one can deny it. One after another outstanding hand-painted animation masters have used their painstaking work to bring us countless "The Lion King" is a classic that can be remembered in the annals of history."


    "Hand painters create with their own minds and hands. Paintbrushes are their tools, while computer programmers also use their minds and hands to create, and computers are their tools. Essentially, paintbrushes are tools, and computers are also tools. Both are human inventions and creations. They are used to bear the wings of our thinking. They both have indispensable significance in our lives. Then why the former can become a carrier of art and represent high-tech The latter can only be a cold machine?"


    "Some people may say that hand-painters have instilled countless efforts into their works when they are creating, so that they have vitality. Then why no one sees those ideals who have been studying computer animation since the 1970s The activists, dedicating all their youth and passion to computer animation, aren¡¯t they creating with their hearts? The works they create are not good enough? The characters are not full enough? The characters are just dumb without a soul? If someone says that, Then go and see "Toy Story"!"


    "There is no doubt that hand-painted artists have made indelible contributions to the development of animation, but technological progress is the trend of history. Advanced technology replaces backward technology. It is the inevitable law of the development of human society. Those who block all this Or things have been swept into the old paper pile of history."


    "Today, the application of computer technology has already penetrated into all aspects of our lives. For the entire film and television industry, computer technology is like flying wings for them. In the past, many images can only exist in our imagination. It can be displayed in front of us by virtue of advanced computer technology. Take the hand-painted animation mentioned by some people, "The Lion King" used a lot of computer technology at the beginning, and it must be in the hot show of "Mulan". exception."


    "Some people ridiculously ridicule the advanced technology that represents the future of mankind. Who do they think they are? Do they think they are Mr. John Wormsley? Maybe they don''t even know who John Wormsley is, this ignorant Hundreds of years ago, the guy led workers into a textile factory in Manchester and smashed the machines, thinking that advanced textile machines had robbed them of their jobs."


    "In each era, we always have to face new things. Some are gradually changing ideas, and some are advanced technologies. Those conservative people don¡¯t know how to absorb the essence of usefulness for themselves, but instead hinder their development everywhere. However, Countless history has proved that people who stand still will sooner or later be eliminated by the times."


    "I dare say that it will not take more than ten years for hand-drawn animation to be eliminated from the mainstream of Hollywood..."


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªRyan Jenkins


    In recent years, Ryan has rarely published such critical articles in the media. After the current issue of "Vanity Fair" was released, it quickly attracted a lot of attention. This article with a clear purpose and sharp rhetoric has not only become a public leisure time. A rare topic has also become a lot of people in the industry thinking about the future of animation.


    After all, past achievements have been proven several times, and Ryan''s vision is extremely forward-looking.


    Moreover, the reputation and response of "Toy Story" and "Insect Crisis" in the audience all prove his point of view.


    "Ryan, thank you, thank you for defending us." John Lasseter and Ed Kamel also specifically called. No one would like to have a child born in their own hands and be criticized as a soulless doll. .


    When it comes to computer technology, the founders of Pixar Studios are well-known roles in the entire IT industry, but Ryan can get rid of them ten streets instead of talking.


    The media subsequently issued remarks against him, and Ryan''s film achievements were in front of everyone. They couldn''t open their eyes and talk nonsense, so they had to say that he''doesn''t know to respect the artist''s creation''. One was soaked by business. The movie creators of the soul'' and so on.


    On the other hand, Ryan took out the end of the fight with Natalie when he was a child, and published a review article after another through the media such as Vanity Fair, Los Angeles Times and News Corporation. A mockery of some people.


    Since the other party rejected the kindness he released and wanted to drag himself into the quagmire, and stepped on a few more feet, he would naturally respond. Although cooperation is the kingly way, with the resources he has at his disposal, he will not be afraid of anyone. .


    What''s more, this is a good opportunity for publicity. Ryan will occasionally mention the "Insect Crisis" and "Saving Private Ryan" that are currently in theaters, and continue to use the upcoming "Jurassic Park 2" and "Peerless" that are about to land in North America. "Heavenly Tribulation" is an example, saying that these two works will prove the help of computer technology to the film and television industry.


    After returning to Los Angeles, Ryan, apart from chatting with people in the media, was also rushing to catch up with the two scripts prepared for him. During the time he stayed in New York, whether it was him or Natalie, it was like all the passions. Like the men and women in the movie, it is always difficult to control themselves. The so-called script creation and study of the roles of the two are nothing more than nothing.


    Perhaps due to frequent and long-term high-volume exercise in New York, Ryan¡¯s weight has reached the requirements of the remaining scenes of "Remains of a Deserted Island". The hair that has been kept since the beginning of this year is gradually approaching the shoulders, and the makeup artist''s Help, you can start the rest of the shooting plan.


    Ryan doesn''t want to delay too long, his request is simple, this movie must be released at the end of the year.


    However, before that, he still has a series of things to solve, first of all, he must complete the agreement with Harvey Weinstein.


    In the bowling alley of a high-end clubhouse in Malibu, Ryan is wiping his hands with a towel. He is here to talk about business, not to play. A few rounds are enough.


    "Jane, get in touch with your friends. I''m going to have a party tonight." Harvey Weinstein patted his girlfriend''s buttocks. "Remember to call the most beautiful ones."


    "They must be happy."


    This little actor named Jennifer Garner turned his head and smiled at Ryan, twisted and walked out. She is a smart person and turned around and closed the VIP room door after she went out.


    "Harvey, I didn''t expect your taste to change again." In Ryan''s view, the other''s figure and appearance were really strange.


    "Recently, the pressure has been too great. I always find some suitable way to relax."


    The two walked to the rest table, Harvey Weinstein made a please gesture After Ryan sat down, he continued, "Jane is from Texas, and she is very conservative in her life. But unrestrained, there is the unique wildness of Texas cowboys."


    "Don''t forget, you are no longer in control of Miramax." Ryan joked.


    Hollywood is not only the investors and producers, but also the countless actors. Without enough capital, how can these actresses get posted.


    "But we will have Weinstein Pictures soon." The big fat man seemed to have regained his ambitions, and he thought of another thing. "The horror films shot by your classmates are really going to be in theaters?"


    "The title of the film is "Ghost"."


    Ryan laughed. This pseudo-documentary, which has nothing to do with the previous life, but borrowed the propaganda methods of "Blair the Witch", has been handed over to Flower Pictures, and is currently making a lot of noise on the Internet.


    "Well, we are waiting for you to create miracles again."


    "Come on, Harvey. This time it has nothing to do with me. This kind of excessive publicity is not good for reputation." ()

 Chapter 327： smart people

    Since this year¡¯s Oscars ceremony, the Weinstein brothers have sped up their private work and want to leave Miramax in a decent way. Both of these brothers are smart people and have long been aware of Michael Eisner. Dissatisfaction with them, I also know that the other party will drive them away sooner or later.


    In fact, in order to completely control Miramax, Walt Disney¡¯s board of directors has done much in the past few years, and Miramax¡¯s management has been kicked out by them, otherwise it would rely on Bob Weinstein¡¯s management methods. , The last two will not be so helpless.


    For a long time, the Weinstein brothers were ambitious and wanted to make Miramax bigger. They accepted Disney''s investment at the beginning, making the film company founded by the two become one of Disney''s many subsidiaries.


    When Disney became the largest shareholder, Michael Eisner did not fulfill his promise. He just wanted to treat Miramax as a subsidiary that distributes literary and niche films, and did not give them any major productions. He also continued to intervene in the specific management work of Miramax. His management style naturally created the situation today.


    "If you have no opinion, the new company is definitely called Weinstein Pictures, and the headquarters will be in Burbank. Many managers who originally belonged to Miramax will resign from their current positions and join the new company. "


    This kind of real-life film company is not just an empty shell that can be supported by a few people. Due to the appearance of Ryan, Weinstein Pictures came out much earlier than the previous life, and the original management of Miramax, Although a lot of Michael Eisner has taken away in the past few years, a considerable number has been retained. These people are all members of the Weinstein brothers.


    A well-known film company must not only have the movies being produced, but also have a huge film library, and Weinstein Pictures is nothing in this respect, everything has to start from scratch, but Harvey Wayne Stan is not depressed. Since even the slutty chick of Drew Barrymore, after getting the support of the person opposite, can make Flower Pictures create a lot of profits every year, let alone his brother is still a veteran in this industry.


    Ryan and Harvey Weinstein briefly discussed some general issues. For example, the amount of investment, the specific division of shares, etc., and the details will naturally be handled by lawyers and accountants.


    The largest shareholders are naturally the two brothers, he, Nico and Weinstein. In addition, there are a few fragmentary investors who occupy a small number of shares, and they will basically have no say in the future.


    Ryan is not good at the management of film companies, and he is not like Michael Eisner, who has the ambition to control everything under extreme expansion. Harvey Weinstein''s vision is brilliant enough, Bob Weinstein is very good in management, he does not intend to participate in specific affairs.


    "While making my own films, I plan to buy out some more distinctive films from Europe and the Far East. I will get them to be shown in North America." Harvey Weinstein said of some plans for the company''s future, "This way It can not only enrich the film library, but also realize profit as soon as possible."


    "I will not intervene in specific operations."


    Ryan waved his hand casually, "I believe in the abilities of you and Bob."


    "You know, Ryan, this is the most convincing thing about you." Harvey Weinstein laughed.


    "You know, Harvey. I am good at movies, not these trivial matters."


    Regarding Harvey Weinstein''s proposal just now, Ryan has no opinion. The other party in his previous life did just that, and what he did was not bad, although sometimes he did some tricks. But how can filmmakers make money if they don''t cheat overseas?


    "It''s a pity "Shakespeare in Love"." Harvey Weinstein suddenly showed a look of regret, "I originally wanted to use this movie to hit the Golden Man of the best film, but now I can only give up."


    Hearing what he said, Ryan realized. Unknowingly, he brought a change. Miramax lost the Weinstein brothers. Will the production of "Shakespeare in Love" still win the Oscar for Best Picture?


    This is regarded as indirectly helping DreamWorks and Spielberg, perhaps I should ask them for some benefits.


    After finishing the conversation here, Ryan, at the invitation of Harvey Weinstein, came to a villa located in front of Malibu Beach. The front courtyard of the sea side was shaking, handsome men and beautiful women shuttled through it, a little celebration The party has kicked off.


    "Where is Bob?"


    Hearing Ryan¡¯s question, Harvey Weinstein interrupted the joking with those around him, ¡°He is in New York, is raising funds from the bank, dealing with those vampires, has always been very troublesome.¡±


    With that said, he gave in and introduced the plump brown-haired girl in front of him, "Ryan, this is Rachel Vichy, a beautiful rose from England. Rachel, I think I don¡¯t need to introduce this. He is the investor in the movie you are about to star in."


    "Rachel is the heroine selected by Director Sommers and Melanie for "The Mummy"." He added an explanation.


    "Hello, nice to meet you." Ryan shook her hand gently.


    This is a plump woman, a little like Kate Winslet, the difference is that she doesn''t have the bloated feeling of Winslet, but looks just right.


    The script written by Stephen Sommers got a nod from Ryan. This story about the pharaoh and the mummies was formally established. The choice of actors was left to Sommers and Melanie Sloan. Ryan doesn''t care whether he will adopt the original crew. This kind of adventure movie full of comedy elements, Hollywood can find a lot of suitable actors.


    But I didn''t expect that Stephen Somos still chose this British woman.


    "Actually, I have not only lived in London, but also a few friends from the UK." Seeing Harvey Weinstein who was quickly going away, Ryan shook his head without a trace, and looked at the woman in front of her. Body.


    "You mean Kate?" Rachel Vichy asked tentatively. After Ryan nodded, he squinted to look at the other side, "We came here together today."


    "You know?" Ryan followed her gaze and looked at him, but he was a strange figure.


    The other party seemed to notice them, turned around and beckoned to Rachel Vichy, and walked over.


    Seeing her looks, Ryan could only sigh that there are too many women named Kate in Britain. This Kate is not the Kate Winslet he was talking about.


    Probably noticing Ryan''s surprised eyes, Rachel Vichy quickly added, "Ryan, you said Kate, not Miss Beckinsale?"


    "Kate Winslet." Ryan shrugged.


    He narrowed his eyes slightly, is this woman really confused? Still have ulterior motives? The fact that he and Kate Winslet became friends because of the filming of "Titanic" has long been reported by many media.


    When the tall woman with long dark brown hair came over and Rachel Vichy introduced them, Ryan chatted with them casually and was about to leave.


    "Ryan, can you help me?"


    Seeing Ryan''s questioning eyes, Rachel Vichy lowered her voice and said quickly, "Kate is going to audition for DreamWorks. The producer is Mr. Spielberg."


    "Rachel!" Kate Beckinsale pulled him hard.


    It''s really like a rumors, she is a bold woman. Ryan smiled slightly and said politely, "If I meet Stephen, I will talk to him about it."


    "Ryan, we..."


    Before Rachel Vichy was finished, she was interrupted by Kate Beckinsale, "Thank you, Ryan."


    Listening to the sincere thanks from the other party, Ryan sighed secretly and asked, "What is a movie?"


    The two women suddenly showed a look of surprise. He was obviously polite and coping with what he said just now. Now that he asked the name of the movie, he might really help.


    "About the story of World War II, if it is not changed in the later period, it should be called "Pearl Harbor"." Although very happy, Kate Beckinsale remained calm enough.


    "It is said that the director has determined that it is Mr. Michael Bay, and the film has only been established soon. If it is filmed, it will be in the second half of next year." Rachel Weisz added.


    It turned out to be "Pearl Harbor."


    Ryan nodded and counted the time. The film is indeed almost ready for the preparatory period, but he remembers that Miss Beckinsale, according to the development of the previous life, seems to be pregnant. The second-generation Hollywood star is pretty good. Said the most beautiful little beauty, she will be born next year.


    "Ryan..." Rachel Vichy''s voice pulled his thoughts back.


    "Well, I will talk to Stephen and Michael about this." Whether the other party is pregnant or not doing his own business, Ryan gently shook his finger and continued, "I''m just introducing, It depends on the effect of your audition."


    "Thank you, thank you, Ryan." This result has greatly exceeded their expectations.


    Ryan waved his hand and turned to leave. Judging from his past experience, even if he does not interfere, it is estimated that Kate Beckinsale will still get that role, but "Pearl Harbor"...


    Forget it, this movie is hardly rescued. Bangbei doesn¡¯t play Explosion, and instead plays a love triangle. Coupled with the continuous success of the past few years, it has caused some mental problems. I want to shoot more when I am not in business. Things have been doomed to fail.


    It can only be said that the explosive shell is just the explosive shell, he will never become James Cameron, maybe he can only understand this after experiencing a tragic failure.


    "Damn it, Harvey, why are you causing so much trouble." Walking up to Harvey Weinstein, Ryan took a glass of soda and drank most of it in one sip.


    "I just asked Jane to find some beautiful girls..." The big fat man shrugged helplessly, "I didn''t expect the news to spread so quickly. This can only mean that you are too attractive to those girls who want to be famous. )

 Chapter 328： Lost world

    Throughout the Greater Los Angeles area, there are thousands of film and television production companies, large and small, and film companies are closing down every day, and new film companies are being established. These have long been accustomed to reporters who are familiar with the entertainment industry and Hollywood. .


    However, when the Weinstein brothers announced that they had officially separated from the Miramax Films that they had founded and established a new Weinstein Films, they immediately attracted the attention of these well-informed guys because they found out the company¡¯s details. The names of the major shareholders, Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman are impressively listed.


    The conflict between the Weinstein brothers and Disney has long been made public. Then contact the increasingly obvious conflict between Ryan Jenkins and Michael Eisner. These reporters who run entertainment all the year understand that Hollywood is bound to meet in the near future. Come to an extraordinary contest.


    Recalling the disputes between hand-drawn animation and computer animation in the media some time ago, the paparazzi could not wait to run to Ryan and Michael Eisner and ignite a raging flame at their feet, so that the contradiction between the two would become more acute. If It would be best to fight immediately.


    It''s a pity that the root of the dispute between Ryan and Michael Eisner still comes from interests. Almost all of their actions are kept in the dark. If you want to see the excitement, you should wait slowly.


    Although the establishment of Weinstein Pictures has sparked speculation among many insiders, the attention of the media quickly shifted because "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" was about to be released!


    The film was selected for its premiere in Los Angeles on the night before the ** Day holiday.


    Whether it¡¯s Ryan¡¯s novels or the first movie of the year, they have cultivated a large number of fans. "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" hardly has to worry about the box office, as long as the word of mouth is not too bad to be hopeless. Point. Making money is a sure thing.


    The premiere was both publicity and communication. After Ryan was busy with socializing, he finally got out of it. Found Steven Spielberg from the crowd. The old man is proud now, "Saving Private Ryan" has brought him a huge reputation. As long as the public relations are in place, it is very likely that next year''s Oscar for best director will be booked in advance.


    "Steven."


    Ryan beckoned to him and looked around calmly, and the others immediately understood that the two men had something to talk about. Hurry to leave. After they left, Ryan said, "I heard that DreamWorks launched the project "Pearl Harbor"?"


    "Yeah, we also poached Michael Bay from you." Spielberg smiled and joked.


    "I have a British friend named Kate Beckinsale, and she will probably audition."


    Just click this kind of words. Seeing the old man nodding his head with a smile, Ryan couldn''t help but remind, "Steven, Jenkins has just collaborated with Michael. I heard that he has a lot of new ideas for movies. You should know what he is best at. , If you leave the field of expertise, problems are likely to occur. Maybe Michael can be compared with James on the back of the explosion, but in other aspects..."


    Ryan shook his head slightly, "He is not James Cameron, nor you."


    "I will pay attention." Spielberg nodded seriously.


    The success of several consecutive films clearly inspired the ambitions of the Big Three of DreamWorks. After returning from Harvey Weinstein, Ryan asked people to inquire about it. This time DreamWorks put out more than one hundred and five thousand. With a huge budget of 10,000 U.S. dollars, I didn''t invite other film companies to cooperate, probably because I wanted to produce the film. This kind of risk is too great.


    Speaking of this, Ryan did not participate in the cooperation, and it is not easy to say anything.


    Leaving the place just now, not far, the slender and tall blonde girl stopped in front of him. Seeing the other side''s slightly complaining eyes, Ryan pulled out a smile.


    "Hi Charlie, it''s been a long time since I saw you."


    "Yes, Ryan." In Charlize Theron''s words, there was another kind of voice that was clearly complaining, but it would make people feel friendly, "Why do I think you deliberately avoid me?"


    "I''m just busy." Ryan talked about the reason and walked towards the corner. Seeing Charlize Theron quickly followed, he said after standing still, "You know, in addition to work, I also have to take care of my studies. ."


    "I went to the USC Film Academy to find you, and they said you took a long vacation." South African Diamonds took advantage of high heels and looked straight into Ryan''s eyes. "Am I... so undesirable?"


    "No, no, no, Charlie." Ryan sighed and shook his fingers. "Didn''t I tell you, we are good friends."


    good friend? Charlize Theron bit his lower lip lightly.


    Seeing the cold face of the South African Diamond, instantly turning into an aggrieved appearance, Ryan lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing.


    Frankly speaking, Charlize Theron''s carefulness is extremely pleasing, and his tall and beautiful appearance is completely in line with his aesthetics. If you say that you are not tempted and have no ideas, then it must be fake, but having an idea does not mean that you must implement it. .


    This woman¡¯s strength, strength, and intelligence are not inferior to Nicole and Natalie. Ryan knows this very well. He didn¡¯t even think about how to solve Nicole and Natalie perfectly in the future. If If you try to provoke a woman with a sensitive heart, the end will be extremely miserable.


    A tragic picture suddenly popped out of his mind.


    Nicole and Natalie held sharp knives, and after a brief discussion, they pressed him to the ground and chopped them in half. Then the two women had a dispute over who wanted the upper half and who wanted the lower half. Finally, he swung his sword towards each other.


    Well, he admits that he thinks too much. With Nicole and Natalie''s personalities, the most likely thing is that they will not be able to interact with each other in the future.


    "Ryan..." Charlize Theron''s voice rang in his ears.


    "Sorry, Charlie, I remembered something else." Ryan said apologetically.


    "A terrible thing?" Charlize Theron was as careful as always, "I see the corners of your eyes jumping and the corners of your mouth shaking."


    "Obvious?" Ryan touched his face subconsciously.


    Charlize Theron curled his mouth and shrugged gracefully at him.


    "Are you confused by anything?" South African Diamonds asked tentatively.


    "There are some very troublesome things." Ryan shook his hand, seeming to want to drive away those untouchable pictures that would appear in front of him.


    "You can... tell me?" Charlize Theron''s eyes flashed, showing a bit of curiosity, "Maybe I can help you solve it? If it''s a secret, then forget it."


    "You can''t solve it." Ryan shook his head and strode towards the theater. "The movie is about to begin. It''s not good for you, the heroine, to be late."


    "Jurassic Park 2" perfectly inherits the style of "Jurassic Park 1". The suspense and thrilling settings are just right. Although the plot is slightly thinner, the more advanced special effects technology has created the dinosaur stars. , But it makes up for this very well.


    The newly added dinosaurs, as well as the giant Tyrannosaurus rex, all make the audience fascinated. Just these well-designed dinosaurs are completely worthy of the audience''s ticket price.


    Although the movie inevitably turned into a monster movie in the end, Spielberg used sophisticated techniques to control the scene very well. When the Tyrannosaurus rex appeared in a modern human city and roared with its head high, the audience was very angry. The response is no less than at the end of the first part.


    "Whether it is filming "Jurassic Park" or when filming this movie, the first thing I think of is the audience. Ryan and I hope that this series of films can bring the purest entertainment to the audience. For us films For creators, the audience is always the most important."


    At the press conference after the premiere, someone questioned the plot of the film, and Spielberg immediately refuted it.


    There is no doubt about the entertainment and viewing quality of this movie. The audience also bought the movie to buy the dinosaur account. This summer, a scene even hotter than "Saving Private Ryan" finally appeared. North American movie theaters after "Titanic" , Once again ushered in the long dragon that can drain the theater.


    "We just came to see the dinosaurs. Those dinosaurs that are more detailed than the first one have to be amazing. In addition to the mighty dinosaurs, there are enough beautiful heroines in the movie. All the entertainment factors are available. We Of course he will enter the theater."


    What this fan said in an interview represents the position of the vast majority of the audience.


    Unlike the vast majority of the audience who praised the movie and went to the theater to watch it, those critics who thought they had noble taste issued a fierce attack on the movie.


    "The plot is so thin that it makes people suspect that this is a graduation experiment filmed by Ryan Jenkins Except for special effects, apart from the lifelike dinosaurs, we can¡¯t see anything of value. One that has brought us a lot of words, then this one is a complete failure. It does not have any theme worth thinking about, and it is no different from other popcorn movies."


    Even some film critics deliberately gave a score of six, which was just passing.


    But with the prosperity of the Internet, there are more and more young people who don¡¯t care about the voices of these traditional film critics. The free carrier of the Internet allows them to express their own voices and express their opinions. Fans and book fans of Luo Ji Park went to the websites of those media that criticized the movie and left a sharp remark.


    "We don¡¯t understand that this movie is thrilling and exciting, it has all the elements of relaxing entertainment, and it also truly restores those prehistoric behemoths, showing us a completely different world. Why should film critics criticize this? This work? Is it true that their taste is higher than that of most people in this world? Is it that they want all the audience in the United States to sit in the cinema to watch that kind of sleepy movie?"


    The rise of the Internet has had a huge impact on traditional media, and the voices on the Internet can always spread rapidly and spread to reality. These can all be transformed into the benefits of movies. ()

 Chapter 329： Film critic

    What is the criterion for measuring the success of a movie? Different types of movies certainly have different answers, but the audience''s recognition of the movie is an indispensable factor.


    To put it bluntly, without the support of the audience, the movie is actually nothing.


    Looking at a purely entertainment film from the perspective of a literary and artistic film, in Ryan¡¯s words, the critics can not only show themselves differently and put on a look that only me has a clever vision in the world, they can also bring what?


    Is it true that their words are really authority? Or is it that they are the spokespersons of art?


    Facing the menacing movie-watching boom, they couldn''t even influence the status of "Jurassic Park" in the hearts of supporters, and they were destined to only jump around like a clown.


    The younger generation doesn¡¯t believe in authority, not to mention that they are not yet authoritative, and Ryan¡¯s influence on this young group, the most important consumer group in the movie market, is at least able to get rid of them from the Los Angeles City Hall to the Santa Monica business. The center is so far away.


    It doesn¡¯t matter if these people really don¡¯t like the movie, or they have been hinted and deliberately criticized by some people-don¡¯t think that the critics are fair, and their speech is not much firmer than the media that hosts them-"Jurassic Park 2" "The Lost World" is destined to set off another dinosaur frenzy this summer.


    In the first week of the movie¡¯s release, in just three days, the box office exceeded US$90 million. Even if it was only 90 million, it was enough to sweep all other opponents. What made Ryan and his partners even more happy was that the dinosaurs were included. All derivative products, including doll models, are almost sold out.


    The surroundings of this series of movies have once again demonstrated a strong power, even last year''s "Titanic" peripheral products are incomparable.


    The most shocking thing is the top three in the new North American weekly box office rankings. All occupied by Ryan and his related works, "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" deservedly occupied the championship, and "Bug Crisis" showed strong stability and overwhelmed other competitors. Ranked second. "Saving Private Ryan" still maintained enough vitality to get the third place.


    This is an extremely competitive summer vacation!


    Ryan was not worried about being too swagger. He just wants to show his strength to give some people confidence. Besides, these films have many partners and a strategy of sharing interests. Let those people tightly surround him.


    After the second full week, "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" did not get rid of the normal film rules, and the box office inevitably declined, but the figure of more than 70 million US dollars is still jealous and shocking.


    This summer, Ryan Jenkins wants to be his own and his partner. How many dollar bills were taken away? This has become a hot topic for many people.


    Almost all eyes were drawn away by these big productions. A documentary called "Ghost" was released quietly in the 30 relatively unremarkable cinema chains in the Los Angeles area.


    Many have watched short videos broadcast on Discovery Channel. And through viral propaganda on the Internet, people who learned that this video was taken by a certain missing young couple personally walked into the theater one after another.


    Although he received a call from Drew Barrymore, Ryan had no interest in watching. The trembling shots and blurry pictures would only feel boring for someone like him who knows the truth.


    Although Ryan only gave a few short ideas, after Drew asked professionals to supplement, all the movies he shot in the past few years have been successful. I believe in his words and set up a special for "Ghost". The propaganda team is responsible for the development of specific businesses.


    In this pseudo-documentary, which has almost nothing to do with the previous life, Ryan only gave Drew general publicity advice. Those Hollywood veterans are far more professional than him. Viral marketing is not new. Under his tips , These people quickly developed a complete publicity plan.


    I have to say that although this woman can be as bad as her private life, she can develop her company into a later scale in her previous life. Apart from the huge network of contacts, she also possesses quite strong abilities.


    Of course, Drew Barrymore is not stupid. It''s best to understand this kind of false propaganda only this time. In Ryan''s words, it will ¡®defeat the character¡¯.


    This is also the reason why Ryan is not willing to participate in it personally. Don¡¯t think that he is young. The public and the media will laugh when they learn the truth. I am afraid that all criticisms will be concentrated on him. With his current status and status, doing this kind of fooling things will only provoke a laugh.


    As for the quality of the movie? Whether this movie will sell well has nothing to do with the quality.


    As long as the theater operators can see enough revenue, let alone move the screening time to the best prime times, it is not a problem to increase the number of theaters within a week.


    The prerequisite for all this is to prepare enough copy numbers.


    Under Ryan''s solemn instruction, Drew did not hesitate to invest a lot of money and prepared more than two thousand copies in advance.


    "Ryan, if this movie doesn''t sell well, I will bring two thousand copies and set it on fire at the entrance of Jenkins Manor!" This was what Drew said painfully at the time.


    In addition to the fact that the distributor of Flower Pictures has made sufficient preparations, things related to "Ghost Shadow" are almost a reprint of the previous life "Blair the Witch". This pseudo-documentary that is not even third-rate or even fifth-rate is released. On the first day, all thirty theaters were full.


    On the second day, the theater chain increased to 50 colleges and departments, which were still full, and on the third day, it increased to 200 theaters, which were still full...


    In addition, various speeches appeared on the Internet. According to Ryan''s suggestion at the time, the propaganda team deliberately guided, so that more people entered the theater because of curiosity.


    The production cost of this film is only 50,000 US dollars. The film made by four students from the Film Academy of Southern California University finally attracted the attention of more theaters. In addition, the public relations of Flower Pictures will wait for the next week. The number of theaters has surged to nearly two thousand, and the copies prepared in advance are not only useful, and even more need to be prepared.


    In the first week, the box office of the movie exceeded 5 million U.S. dollars, and the cost has almost been recovered.


    Although the production cost of the film is less than 50,000 U.S. dollars, the follow-up publicity, public relations, and printing and copying costs amount to millions of U.S. dollars.


    As a result, after the second week, the North American media suddenly discovered that a movie that they didn¡¯t pay much attention to, and was barely named, ranked second in the North American weekly box office rankings with a box office of more than 30 million U.S. dollars. , Second only to "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", which was released for three weeks.


    Where did this movie come out? Who is the director? Who is the leading role?


    Soon, these traditional media picked up relevant news from the Internet, and also found the film¡¯s distributor, Flower Pictures, but the staff of Flower Pictures had long been severely warned by Drew and faced reporters¡¯ inquiries. , The tone of the answer is unusually uniform¡ªno comment.


    The film critics also found that they had ignored an important work, and then walked into the theater.


    Those film critics who had a sufficiently professional level and a fast enough brain response immediately discovered the nuances.


    As for all film critics and industry insiders, they would foolishly think that this is really a documentary editing. Is that possible? This kind of student-level technique can only fool the lay audience.


    Even if Ryan does not like most film critics, he has to admit that some of them still possess considerable professional qualities. Such a film whose quality can be described as **** is naturally beyond their eyes.


    The media began to expose the facts, and Flower Pictures remained silent. Many viewers walked into the theater again under curiosity.


    After the third week, "Ghost" once again won more than 30 million US dollars in the box office, but Flower Pictures was under tremendous pressure. Both fans and the media asked them to give prepared answers.


    Just like "Blair the Witch" in the previous life, Flower Pictures very simply admitted that the film is not a real documentary, but an experimental feature film made by the students of the USC Film School. As for the publicity, it is just some special techniques.


    Generous audiences laughed, and some audiences who felt they had been fooled vented their anger in protest. Although the media felt that this propaganda method was somewhat novel, several mainstream newspapers slammed Hua Ying. Industry practices.


    Although there are still many people who walked into the theater curiously , the box office of the movie began to plummet, as if the movie would be recognized by professionals that this is not a documentary, this is something that no one can stop.


    However, the film signed a nearly two-month exhibition contract. As long as the number of viewers does not exceed the lower limit, the energy will continue to generate profits.


    Only a limited number of people, such as Drew and Darren, know about Ryan hiding behind the scenes. He likes things that can make money without hurting people''s morals.


    As for Miss Drew Barrymore, who was called a liar, would she care about this voice? In the past few years, she has been attacked more vigorously than this many times. As long as she has money to make money, she doesn''t care. ,


    When "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" made great progress, the North American box office exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars, and "Ghost" was gradually approaching the 100 million yuan box office mark, Ryan disturbed all the most lively summer files and Los Angeles. Throwing it behind his head, he took his own business jet and left North America, and once again set foot on an island belonging to Fiji.


    More than one-third of the remaining shots of "Remains of the Deserted Island" need to be filmed. The crew needs to close the shots as soon as possible to allow enough time for post-production for Robert Zemeckis. ()

 Chapter 330： Ryans supporting role

    The cool sea breeze dissipated the darkness of the night and stirred up countless fine waves. When the morning sun crossed the horizon and fell on the golden sand, this temporary camp area turned from silence to boiling, and the tent got out of it. One by one crew members, under the direction of the deputy director, began a busy day.


    The crew was sorting out the set and preparing props, and two members from the Fiji Environmental Protection Organization kept loudly reminding them to prevent these guys from Hollywood from harming the vegetation on the island.


    A huge temporary studio was set up in the empty place next to the beach, and next to the studio was a tent that served as a dressing room for actors.


    This tent is not big, because all the actors in the crew add up to only one and a half, one is Ryan and half is a volleyball.


    Ryan quickly changed into a costume, a rag wrapped around his waist, and then sat in front of the makeup mirror, letting the makeup artist turn his long hair into a messy birdhouse.


    Several makeup artists acted at the same time. Some people applied smears on his face and body. After a short time, his muscular body became a dirty savage, and the most tedious work was on his chin and temples. Above, it was covered with fake beards that were as dense as weeds.


    Even though they are all well-known makeup masters in Hollywood, it took nearly two hours to finish all this.


    "I look more like Tarzan than a modern Robinson living on a desert island."


    Ryan stood up, bent his arms in front of the mirror, his strong muscles were sharp and angular, "We may be able to change to a modern version of Tarzan."


    "Ryan, Robert is already waiting anxiously." George reminded helplessly.


    "Well, let''s go out."


    By the woods beside the beach, several cameras erected on the slide rails are already ready. The setting and supporting role Mr. Wilson, standing quietly by the side, all kinds of tree props, look no different from the woods next to him.


    What is going to be filmed is Chuck logging wood and building a raft. The scene of preparing to leave the desert island. Due to the island¡¯s owner and those environmentalists, the crew can¡¯t really let Ryan harm the coconut trees and bushes. Had to make a lot of temporary props.


    "Ryan, I have to remind you that we have to hurry up!" Robert Zemeckis showed the authority of the director.


    "I understand, Robert. I promised you yesterday that I will definitely get back to the state today." In the crew, Ryan still maintains the director''s authority, and his release plan is given to Robert Zemeckis. Great pressure.


    "Mr. Jenkins, and Director Zemeckis." The member of the environmental protection organization called Helen suddenly walked over. "I read the script. You will use fire below. Please be prepared for the fire to get out of control."


    "In fact, we were already prepared." The head of the props group pointed to the fire-fighting team with ten people.


    The crew didn''t have much time delay. Quickly entered the shooting state.


    Looking around from several cameras, Ryan is like a savage who has just returned from primitive society. With the help of flames, he wields an axe made of ice skates, and puts the props trees on the ground. On those smaller bushes, peel off the tough bark and make ropes.


    There are not many lines in these scenes, and there are few features. They were chosen by Robert Zemikeist so that Ryan can get back to his form quickly.


    It has been several months since the last filming. No matter how good an actor is, it is impossible to immediately get back the feeling of a role.


    Ryan did not let the director and crew wait too long. After another day of more fragmentary shots, his performance was significantly improved compared to when he first arrived, and Robert Zemeckis also brought the entire team into it. In the makeshift studio, I started shooting some shots in the cave.


    "The first scene of the forty-fifth scene begins now!"


    In the dim cave, Ryan bent over, carrying the rope taken from the cliff, and walked to the vicinity of the only companion. After slowly squatting down, he held the rope and shook in front of the volleyball.


    "I got it, it''s here." He was obviously depressed, "I got it, are you happy?"


    The only companion who would never speak, still remained silent.


    Turning around, Ryan took the dry branches, fiddled with the original firepit, and added some fuel. The fire gradually brightened, and he squinted at his partner behind.


    "You have to keep mentioning it, can''t you forget it?" His voice was unusually low, "Huh? You are right! We have to keep trying, but fortunately we tried, because it avoided death."


    Holding the thin branches, he kept stirring the bonfire, seeming to be talking to the volleyball behind him, and he seemed to mutter to himself, "That way I will fall on a rock, fall on a leg, back or neck, slowly Howling to death, I had only this choice then? When was that, a few years ago? Forget it, let us forget about it."


    As he said, he turned his head and stared at Wilson in a daze, "Do you have an opinion? Oh... Maybe we will succeed. Have you never thought about it like this? Anyway, I would rather go on an adventure at sea. I don''t want to stay on this desert island and wait for death!"


    However, his companion would never speak, would never give advice, he was always talking to himself, perhaps the suppressed negative emotions accumulated over the years, suddenly broke out at this moment.


    His messy bird''s nest-like head, clinging to the dry red face on the volleyball, was excited like a savage, and his voice became higher and higher, "I don''t want to talk to a **** volleyball for the rest of my life!"


    After that, he picked up his only companion and kicked it out of the cave with one kick, "You guys finally shut up!"


    After breathing for two rough breaths, he finally calmed down and immediately noticed something was wrong. He turned his head and shouted in the direction of the cave, "Wilson!"


    When the passing sound came from behind the camera, the lights in the studio were instantly lit, Ryan was still sitting on the plastic rock, breathing evenly in the slightly humid air, and slowly adjusting his emotions.


    This long shot between this and volleyball has been ng for more than ten times. Although this performance is not physically exhausting, it is extremely exhausting.


    This **** process of playing against volleyball is really painful, especially since he has to use his performance to bring a supporter who has no expression and can''t speak.


    The entire crew almost revolves around this beach. Sometimes when Ryan is here, working overtime will become the norm. Although many night shots have been moved to daytime shooting, for increasingly powerful film technology, post-production is in progress. There is no difficulty in changing the background back to night.


    Since only Ryan is a real actor, as long as his state can be guaranteed, the shooting speed will be very fast. The actual progress of the crew has exceeded Robert Zemeckis¡¯s expectations, but he did not dare to relax at all. The various work of the crew is extremely demanding.


    No one knows Ryan''s thoughts better than him. This movie is clearly aimed at Oscars. Although he won a best director, Golden Man, who doesn''t want to win the second one? Even next year will face a formidable opponent.


    The combination of work and rest is the kingly way. Ryan knows this well. Even if the crew is busy, he will not be deducted from the vacation. He doesn''t want to let himself become the style of James Cameron.


    Fiji is located in the South Pacific region and is a famous tourist destination. It is also close to Australia and New Zealand. When on vacation, the crew will always play around. Relaxation brings more significant work efficiency.


    Ryan stayed on the island, although James Cameron, who was diving near the Mariana Trench, called him to invite him, but Ryan refused.


    I don''t want to be seen as a savage after I go out. Ryan was holding the light brown bird''s nest, and the upper body of her body had long been tanned, and at first glance, it looked like Tarzan.


    Besides, his time is very tight, he has to finish the two scripts as soon as possible, and he has to deal with some things via satellite phone.


    This is a bumper summer file. After two months of accumulation, the North American box office finally passed the 200 million dollar mark. Pixar Studios'' limelight completely overwhelmed the Disney Animation Department, and John? Lasseter and others have doubled their confidence and are full of expectations for "Toy Story 2" to be released next year.


    And "Ghost", which has been denounced as **** by countless people, has a box office number of more than 100 million US dollars. Although the number of movie viewers has fallen sharply and faces the danger of early downgrades, the money allocated is enough for Ryan to be Nicole Buy a large beautiful farm in Queensland.


    There is also "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", UU reading www. uukanshu. When the North American box office of the com movie was close to 250 million U.S. dollars, Ron Meyer of Universal Pictures specifically called.


    "Ron, I understand what you think." Ryan was unmoved by his proposal, "but I don''t think it is a wise choice to start the third part of "Jurassic Park" now. Stephen has already famously said that it will not be in the short term. I will be in charge of the guiding tube again, and if the time interval between the two films is too short, it will bring unexpected changes. We should look farther."


    "Yes, temporarily stranded. We must maintain the influence of this brand. Now the film technology is developing too fast. We have to wait for the new technology to mature before launching the third film."


    After hanging up the phone, Ryan rubbed his forehead. According to his plan, the next movie of "Jurassic Park" will be a 3D movie.


    Well, 3d is still early, after all, one of the key figures of the new 3d technology is playing diving in the Mariana Trench. I hope the truck driver will not be swallowed by the prehistoric big octopus hidden deep in the seabed.


    Thinking boredly, Ryan walked towards the small pier on the island, and the people who came to visit the class were about to arrive. When they saw their appearance like a savage, they might scare away directly. ()

 Chapter 331： Fishing master

    More than a dozen raging bonfires lit up the entire beach. The crew sat around the bonfire, grilling the seafood and beef and mutton specially purchased by Ryan, enjoying a rare leisure time.


    This was a weekend, Nicole came to visit the class, and the crew simply held a small bonfire party.


    By the campfire far from the crowd, Ryan and Nicole, with two little girls, were grilling a few big red crabs.


    "Nicole, I hate Ryan, don''t let him help." Tyler wrinkled his nose to this side.


    "Why?" Kristen Stewart scratched his short brown hair with his little oily hands. "Alison, when you left New York, didn''t you say you didn''t hate him?"


    "Humph~"


    The blonde curly chuckled twice and said to the smiling Australian girl, "He bought such a large estate in Queensland and gave it to Nicole. The lavender in it is so beautiful. Haven''t we been there, Chris Ting?"


    "Well, it''s very beautiful, even more beautiful than the Christmas tree farm in your hometown." The other little girl nodded.


    "He gave such a great gift to Nicole, but he never gave it to me, so I decided to hate him."


    Presumably knowing that something was wrong with what he said, Taylor stuck out his tongue at Nicole, "You won''t mind, do you, Nicole?"


    "It''s okay, dear."


    Nicole Kidman retrieved the two crabs on the grill and gave Ryan one. The crooked eyes and the corners of the mouth were full of sweetness. She did not expect that it was just a few jokes. Ryan actually bought a large piece of beautiful land in Queensland.


    Before coming to visit the class, she took two little guys there to see it. Although it was a little barren, it would definitely turn into a charming farm if it was handed over to a specialized company to take care of it for a period of time.


    Maybe they can move there when they are tired of Hollywood one day. Live a leisurely life.


    Such thoughts flashed in her mind. Nicole understood her character and pursuit. Hollywood, a vanity fair, had a great attraction to her. Such a leisurely and clean life may not be suitable for you.


    "Nicole, what are you thinking about, your smile is so sweet." I don''t know when, Taylor put his little face close to Nicole''s pretty face.


    "Think... what gift should Ryan give you two." Nicole didn''t change her face.


    "That''s it." Tyler pinched his small chin, and his royal blue eyes slipped over Ryan''s head. "Why don''t you, Ryan, cut your bird''s nest hairstyle and use it as my robin." Bird''s Nest."


    When the bird''s nest? Ryan''s nose was almost crooked. Since picking them up in the afternoon, this naughty guy has made fun of his appearance.


    "Alison, isn''t your robin dead?" Kristen asked strangely, squeezing the tongs of the grilled crab.


    "Oh. I forgot."


    "My dear, how many robins have you raised?" Ryan asked.


    "Only a dozen at most?" The little girl looked no big deal, her eyes rolled, and looked at the dark sea. "I thought about it, Christine, I thought about some gift."


    "what?"


    "Ryan. I remember you just said that you caught fish in the sea when you were making the movie?" The little girl opened her big eyes, and she was innocent in disguise.


    "Yes." Ryan nodded subconsciously, and suddenly felt a bad feeling.


    "My requirements are not high. When it''s dawn, you can go to the sea and catch a shark for me." Taylor said very seriously. It''s as if it''s not playing a prank.


    Ryan looked at Tyler, then at Nicole, feeling helpless, catching a shark? It seems that you are more likely to be caught by a shark, right?


    "Huh, you know you are bragging."


    Words on these runs. Ryan can only turn a deaf ear to the fact that Nicole who spoils her is here, and he is not good to put on a stern look.


    "Okay, Tyler, stop being naughty."


    Nicole''s words have always worked well, and the two little girls immediately closed their mouths and focused on the grilled crabs and barbecue in front of them.


    "We are full." The two little girls took the tissues and wiped their mouths vigorously. "We are going to see Aunt Julis."


    With that, Tyler took Christine and ran to the other side.


    "Let''s go too."


    Ryan took Nicole''s hand, and the Australian girl''s pale blue eyes were full of longing, "Hurry up, Taylor doesn''t know when he will find it."


    "Tough kid," Ryan murmured.


    Avoiding the beach, Ryan led Nicole into the boundless darkness. With the help of a little starlight, he quickly found the tent where he lived. After entering, he pulled the entrance to death, and couldn''t wait to take Nicole into his arms.


    The Australian girl was obviously moved. Ryan could feel her body trembling slightly and her breathing became thicker. Time was extremely precious for the two of them. They could not disappear for a long time, so she immediately hugged Nicole in a fixed place. On the desk, she quickly unbuttoned the buttons on her shorts, and hurriedly took off her underwear.


    Nicole''s hands were doing the same thing on Ryan, and when her hands were stroking the sharp, strong body, the desire in her eyes suddenly turned into impatient.


    "Hurry up, Ryan, those two little guys are not the ones who will wait."


    "It''s here, dear."


    Ryan''s whole body was attached, and Nicole''s pretty face was slightly tilted back, her mouth opened to its maximum, and then she closed it with all her strength, pressing the sound she wanted to make back into her throat.


    After being together for so long, Ryan knows where Nicole''s limit is, and also understands that time is extremely precious at this moment, no longer deliberately suppressed, the action is getting bigger and faster...


    Less than ten minutes later, Ryan and Nicole sat by the bonfire again. Many men and women in the crew disappeared into the darkness after solving their belly problems. Their departure did not attract too much attention.


    Nicole had taken the tissue and gently wiped her red lips. Fortunately, in the night, no one could see the difference from before.


    "This kind of hurried feeling is really bad!" She whispered and complained, "This is the worst I have ever done."


    "It''s better to let Tyler and Kristen go to bed with Julis at night." Ryan suggested.


    "Do you think Taylor will?" Nicole shook her head, and suddenly found that the little girl was also spoiled by herself. "In this complicated environment, I don''t worry about her sleeping with others."


    That little girl is not only the little princess of Swift, but also her beloved sister.


    When the sun rises again, the azure blue sea becomes endless, enough to broaden people''s hearts, soothe people''s emotions, looking at the calm sea, Nicole''s feeling of desire and dissatisfaction suddenly disappeared, hiding Under the parasol, he smiled and looked at his lover who was playing with two little guys not far away.


    "Shhh, don''t move, don''t make too much noise, otherwise it will scare the fish away."


    Ryan took the ordered fishing fork, hid behind a rock deep into the sea, and pointed his finger at the two little girls beside him.


    "Ryan, are you sure you can catch the fish?" Tyler''s eyes were full of suspicion.


    "Of course, my skills are superb, and I can rank first in the entire crew."


    Staring at the sea ahead, Ryan was full of confidence. In the clear water about a foot deep, an unknown marine fish was shaking its tail and swimming around.


    "Shhh, Christine, don''t disturb Ryan."


    The two little girls stuck out their heads from the back of the reef tacitly, staring at the sea water in front of them curiously, "Wow, we have lunch."


    "Fast eyes, accurate hands, steady body..." Ryan seemed to be reminding the two little guys, and he seemed to be reminding himself.


    He raised the fishing fork and threw it out. The wooden handle fishing fork was like a spear thrown by Achilles. It shot into the sea water ahead, and the faint red color drifted around.


    "Yeah! Caught it! Caught it! Ryan, we really caught it!"


    Without waiting for Ryan to react, the two naughty little girls ran to the raised fishing fork with splashes, not caring about the blood-red liquid at all, grabbed the wooden handle and lifted it up. It was more than half a foot long. The fish was still writhing and struggling on it, but could not get rid of the barbs on the fishing fork.


    "Okay, we should go back now." Ryan took the fish fork, and said to his heart that he was really lucky today.


    The two little girls went to the back of the reef, retrieved the canned box full of small crabs, and followed Ryan back to the beach. The two of them got under another parasol and teased the crabs with extremely miserable fate.


    "What kind of fish is this?" Nicole came over curiously.


    "I don''t know." Ryan threw the fish fork to the bodyguard and said, "Get someone to ask, if you can eat, let the chef make soup at noon."


    "My dear, it looks like you have learned well in the field survival skills."


    Nicole carefully helped him set up the beach chair, waited for Ryan to sit down, and then passed the iced coconut milk, "Perhaps you should really be thrown on a deserted island and see if you can be like Chuck. Find home."


    "Then will you wait for me?" Ryan turned to look at herYes! ever! "Nicole''s eyes were fixed on his eyes, saying very seriously, "Then you will come to me?" "


    "Yes! I swear!" Ryan shook her hand firmly, "You will always be mine, Nicole."


    Nicole suddenly laughed, laughing very sweetly, very happy, looking at the longing in Ryan''s eyes, she lowered her voice and said, "The "The Matrix" crew does not have my role for the time being. Before returning to Los Angeles, we have enough time. Stay together."


    "The scene here will be over in a few days." Ryan shook his head, suppressing the impulse that he hadn''t vented last night, "When the scene here is finished, we will go to the FedEx headquarters in Memphis. "


    "The supporting actress is Nami?"


    "That''s right, there is no reward."


    A pair of little girls over there teased the little crab boringly, and the two here were talking sweetly, waiting for the ebb and flow...()

 Chapter 332： Time must not be wasted

    With the sound of splashing, Ryan climbed from the sea to the stern of the yacht, panted and wiped off the water drops on his face, and beckoned to the back of the camera.


    "Robert..." The beard on his chin was washed away by the sea water, and with a tired look, it looked a little funny.


    "Take a half-hour break, Jenny, quickly touch up Ryan''s makeup." Robert? Zemikis left the director''s chair and came to Ryan. "The emotions should be deeper, Ryan, to show your feelings for Wilson. That is the feelings for your only partner in the past four years..."


    "I see."


    After the makeup artist''s hand left his chin, Ryan quickly nodded.


    "Need something to drink?" Nicole walked over with the energy drink.


    "Not for the time being." Ryan shook his head gently at her.


    What is being filmed is the scene of Chuck watching Wilson sinking. From yesterday to now, it has been ng more than 20 times. Whether lying on a raft or fighting with the sea, Ryan¡¯s power was consumed and let him watch. I am exhausted.


    Originally, this shot could be shot in the studio, and through post-cg synthesis production, it became a shot on the sea, but Ryan insisted on shooting on the spot, so the crew rented this yacht.


    Seeing Ryan''s skin darkened by the sun after being soaked in seawater, Nicole felt a little distressed, but didn''t say anything. She kept quiet and stood aside. Since she chose this path, she must be firm. Go down.


    "Hey, Ryan''s appearance is too bad." The little girl''s comment came from behind her.


    "Yes, even the homeless people on the streets of Los Angeles are more handsome than Ryan now." The other little girl echoed.


    "We should take a picture of him now and use it to blackmail him in the future."


    "That''s not good."


    "Idiot, this is a good idea. There are many limited edition models hidden in Ryan''s house..."


    "Alison."


    When Nicole''s eyes swept over, the little girl pressed her mouth tightly and muttered, "I haven''t said anything."


    Waiting for the makeup artist to fix his beard again, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and asked Robert? Zemsky raised his fingers, and then he went into the water and swam to the raft.


    "Attention all departments, the eleventh act of the 59th scene begins now!"


    On the blue sea, the raft swayed with the waves. The man who had just experienced the violent storm opened his eyes. He first looked at his only companion, but the place where the volleyball was tied was empty.


    "Wilson? Where is Wilson?" He was obviously anxious. "Wilson, where are you?"


    No one answered, except for the sound of rolling waves on the open sea, only the ¡®Wilson¡¯ he shouted out!


    He circled the raft anxiously, and finally found a volleyball floating on the sea in the distance. He did not hesitate to jump into the water, pulled the rope on the raft, and swam desperately in the direction of his partner.


    "Wilson, I will definitely save you back!" he shouted to the front while swimming.


    The volleyball was rushed further and further by the sea, and the length of the life-saving rope in his hand was not enough. Even if he loosened the rope, he could not catch up with the volleyball that was far away.


    "Wilson! Wilson!" He could only shout, "I''m sorry, Wilson! I''m sorry!"


    At this moment, the man who had been living on the desert island for four years shed tears, and the cry of ¡®Wilson¡¯ shouted hoarsely was heartbroken.


    "Okay! That''s how it feels!" Robert on the yacht? Zemikis shouted, "Passed!"


    The crew members who had been tortured by this scene for two days exhaled at the same time that they could finally leave this isolated place.


    The scenes on the desert island have all ended. The crew returned to North America on chartered flights. After a short break in Los Angeles, they came to Memphis, Tennessee, where the last shots of the film will be shot.


    The first scene was chosen at the FedEx Super Center in Memphis. In view of Ryan''s past performance and influence in filming, FedEx has given the greatest support from the beginning of the filming to the present. In this scene, They mobilized more than 1,200 employees to participate. Even FedEx founder Fred? Smith also appeared in front of the camera and looked at it from a different angle. This is also the best way to advertise.


    Among the remaining scenes, the most important is the reunion of Chuck and Kelly, and the crossroads.


    In the off-road vehicle of the black se, Ryan and Naomi who plays Kelly? Watts sat opposite each other. The clothes of the two had already been wet by the ¡®rain water¡¯ spilled outside. They looked at each other excitedly...


    "Chuck..." The woman breathed quickly, as if she didn''t know what to say.


    "You...it''s time to go home." Chuck insisted in his eyes. Kelly already had his own family.


    Seeing his fiancee nodded four years ago, Chuck was silent for a while, and finally started the car, and the car drove to Kelly''s house...


    If the film wants to be successful, it is a must for the majority of people to approve it.


    Returning to the dressing room and changing his soaked clothes, Ryan looked at the neat short hair in the full-length mirror. Except for the tanned skin, the traces of Tarzan disappeared completely. This is the best hairstyle for him.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    "Nami."


    As soon as he walked out of the locker room, Ryan met Naomi who had also finished changing her clothes? Watts, because the other party had regained the friendship with Nicole, Ryan was very kind to her.


    With Robert? Zemikis said hello, and the two of them talked and walked towards the parking place. Now Naomi? Watts was radiant, and she seemed to be many years younger. She was enjoying the feeling of "Peerless Tribulation" after it was released.


    "My scene is over, and I have to rush to Miami tomorrow to participate in the promotion of the film. This is really a busy summer." She said with emotion.


    "If I''m tired, I can say hello to Jerry, it doesn''t matter if I take a few days off." Ryan is talking about Jerry, the producer of "Peerless Tribulation"? Bruckheimer.


    "I think I can survive." Naomi? Watts stopped suddenly, "I have wasted too much time these years."


    Ryan nodded and said nothing. The promotion of the movie is not only to promote the film, but also to promote the actors, especially those who have just become famous.


    Although the news of being the heroine of "Peerless Tribulation" and the supporting actress of "Remains of a Deserted Island" spread, Naomi? Watts has become the focus of many media attention. Coupled with the identity of Nicole¡¯s Girls¡¯ Generation friend that kk Economic Company has specifically promoted, he has gained some fame in Hollywood.


    But if there is no work with enough weight, it will not become a real popular star.


    "Ryan, thank you, thank you for giving me this opportunity."


    Before getting into the car, Naomi? Watts called him again and said this.


    "Yes, you are Nicole''s friend." Ryan waved to her and got into the car.


    "Peerless Tribulation" detonated the end of the summer file. This complete popcorn entertainment masterpiece successfully took over the box office position of "Jurassic Park 2" and made great progress. Although Ryan did not participate in the premiere of the movie Style, but through Jerry? Bruckheimer and the people from Jenkins Pictures learned enough about it.


    This box office bomb not only made Bruce? Willis glowed with the second chun of his career, and completely became popular? Affleck and Naomi? Watts.


    Especially the latter, the beautiful appearance and the se''s acting skills, got too much praise than the previous life, and it almost became a hit overnight.


    And the one with the most benefit is Michael? This movie has completely established his position in commercial films. It is said that because of this movie, DreamWorks'' confidence in him in directing "Pearl Harbor" has greatly increased, and he has also served as a producer.


    Thinking of this, Ryan shook his head. He had already reminded Spielberg that he had already said what should be said. Can''t he go to David? In front of the Big Three such as Gefen, tell them directly that this movie will definitely fail, right?


    Michael? Beata doesn''t care, but at the same time offending the Big Three of DreamWorks is not worth it.


    Ryan does not have this kind of consciousness to do good deeds to get himself in.


    "Director Cameron''s call."


    George, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned around and handed the mobile phone.


    "Hi, Jim, how is your diving life?" Ryan connected.


    "I have left the Pacific and returned to Los Angeles." James came on the phone? Cameron''s grinning voice.


    "Could it be that an undersea earthquake occurred near the Mariana Trench? Or is there a storm passing by?" Ryan was surprised, how did this crazy diving enthusiast give up his most passionate career?


    "I''m ready to start work."


    "start working?"


    "Right." James? Cameron began to explain, "I promised 20th Century Fox to be a producer of a sci-fi TV series. Some time ago, the TV series started preparations I had to come back to pay off the debt."


    "That''s it." Ryan vaguely remembered that the truck driver seemed to have worked as a TV series producer.


    "That''s it, Ryan. Didn''t you say that you want to jointly invest in the development of new types of photographic equipment? I now have some ideas."


    "Oh, it looks like you are going back to work?"


    "When are you going back to Los Angeles? We will have an interview when you come back."


    "It is estimated that next week, I will only have a few fragmentary shots left, and it will be over soon."


    Although the 3D movie technology is still a long way from the real promotion, there is always nothing wrong with taking precautions. The core patent of the new 3D in the previous life is in the hands of James? In Cameron''s hands, even if this guy doesn''t make movies, the royalties he receives are enough for him to go down the Mariana Trench every day.


    The remaining shots did not last long. This movie, which was almost supported by Ryan''s performance alone, finally came to an end. Before leaving Memphis, FedEx also held a celebration reception for the crew. (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 333： About the cooperation of three D technology

    The staff of the Fox Studios drove the battery car, carrying Ryan and George, and drove into the studio area dedicated to the TV drama production department, many of which were busy shooting.


    Hollywood not only has a huge film industry, but also an inferior TV industry. Although he has hardly seen American dramas in his previous life and has no interest in TV dramas, Ryan has always heard of their titles and knows that they have come out of TV dramas. Many stars.


    James? The crew for which Cameron was the producer has just established a project. According to him, the crew has just determined the framework of the story and the protagonists. Even the script for the first episode has not yet been completed, let alone the TV station. There is a long time.


    "Hi, Jim."


    Walking into Studio 17, Ryan saw James? Cameron walked over to greet him, and asked strangely, "Why do you think of making a TV show."


    "One is that he promised Twentieth Century Fox, and the other is..." He looked at him maliciously, and Ryan pointed to himself and asked, "Is it possible that it has something to do with me."


    "Of course." James? Cameron nodded, "You know what I want to film the most. I can''t make it now, so I have to make a superhero TV series."


    "Superhero?" Ryan was even more curious.


    "It''s not in the existing comics, but it''s made by me and someone else." James? Cameron pointed to a girl in black who was practicing not far away, "That''s the protagonist. I borrowed some martial arts instructors from you and I am training her."


    borrow? I''m afraid this guy is digging a wall, right?


    However, Ryan saw a few distinctive faces of Chinese descent, and guessed that the opponent was digging the walls of Yuan Jiaban or several other teams.


    In the past few years, Kung Fu has caused some storms in Hollywood. Action movies almost always find action directors from Hong Kong. It seems that James? Cameron is no exception.


    "Poor girl, you are going to suffer a lot." Ryan sighed and shook his head.


    "Bitterness? What kind of painfulness is this." James? Cameron shook his head and said, "I heard that Nicole and the others trained for three full months before the filming of The Matrix?"


    "Yes." Ryan nodded.


    "I set a half-year training period for her."


    Hearing this, Ryan couldn''t help baring his teeth and deliberately said, "You are murdering, Jim."


    "Fame always has to pay some price, wanting to satisfy me is not a simple thing." James? Cameron suddenly showed a nostalgic gaze, "Actually, I still want to work with you the most, Ryan, although you complained a lot during the shooting, you can always complete your work easily. You are the one that all directors most want to cooperate with. Kind of actors."


    "Come on, Jim." Ryan shook his head, sat on the chair on the other side, waited for the other person to sit down, and continued, "Okay, Jim, we are all old friends. Don''t talk about these mutually flattering things. Now, let¡¯s talk about business."


    "Good!" James? Cameron waved his hand. After his assistant left quickly, he said, "Ryan, have you heard of stereoscopic film technology?"


    "Hmm~ It is said that the "Power of Love" born in 22 years is the earliest 3D movie."


    "It''s possible, but the film has long been lost."


    James? Cameron roughly explained the principles of 3D movie technology, and Ryan listened very carefully. He knew something about these because of his previous career.


    "What I''m talking about is not the old-fashioned 3D technology, but the combination with human performance to create new visual effects..."


    Not waiting for James this time? After Cameron finished speaking, Ryan waved his hand to interrupt him, "Okay, Jim. I''m a layman in terms of technology. You can ask someone to make a specific investment and acquisition plan, and then give it to Scott, as long as it can make money. , Investment is not a problem."


    "Oh, Ryan, you are really a standard businessman now." James? Cameron joked, and then said seriously, "Even if these technologies appear, it will take time to promote them thoroughly."


    "We have time, don''t we?" Ryan shook his hands vigorously, "I believe this is another successful cooperation."


    "Surely!" James? Cameron is extremely confident.


    The two talked about the possible future development of 3D film technology, and the topic turned back to James? This TV series produced by Cameron.


    "If the time is right, can I invite you to guest appearances?"


    Hear James? Cameron said so, and Ryan returned what he had just said, "You know, Jim, you are now a qualified businessman."


    "Don''t you think it''s a beautiful girl as a partner?" James? Cameron looked at the heroine who was still training.


    "Pretty?" Ryan couldn''t help looking at the girl seriously.


    The other party has chocolate satin skin and brown satin long hair. From the appearance, he is obviously Latino. He also has a baby fat face, which is very in line with the oriental aesthetics. Sometimes when the corners of the mouth are raised, it looks very sweet. .


    Although the girl was childish and her appearance had not completely changed, Ryan still recognized her.


    In her previous life, this woman had a large number of supporters on the other side of the ocean, especially her face, which fits the oriental aesthetic too much.


    Ryan and James? When Cameron continued to chat, maybe it was the end of the training, the heroine walked straight to them, very familiar with James? Cameron said hello.


    "Hello, Ryan, I didn''t expect to meet you here." She touched the pocket of the training suit and said with a slight embarrassment, "Damn it! I forgot to bring my signature book."


    "It doesn''t matter, there will be opportunities in the future." Ryan waved his hand casually.


    "Then don''t disturb you and Mr. Cameron." She introduced herself before turning and leaving, "My name is Jessica, Jessica? Alba."


    "I remember your name."


    Ryan nodded, and the other party smiled very brightly and brightly, and looked very lively, and seemed to have nothing to do with the inferiority rumored in the previous life.


    I want to come too. A girl who loves to play so crazy may feel inferior when she is a child, but how is it possible when she grows up.


    "A very promising actress." James? Cameron spoke suddenly.


    "Have the potential? Just her?" Ryan looked at him. This guy is really good at movies, but the eyes of the actors are a bit worse.


    "Frankly speaking, what does this girl have to do with you?" Ryan pointed to the core of the problem.


    "Introduced by my friend."


    "Your friends have so many daughters." Ryan mocked deliberately.


    He still remembered that a few years ago, there was someone named Catherine? Isabel¡¯s Canadian girl once got into the relationship with the truck driver and participated in "True Lies". Later, because of injuries, she recommended her to star in "Game of the Brave". Now she is also regarded as a very famous Hollywood actress. Up.


    Looks like this Jessica? Alba, James again? Cameron¡¯s acquaintances recommended it to the crew.


    "Well, Jim, I will remember her with the right angle."


    Him and James? Cameron''s relationship is laid out here. Since the other party has spoken, Ryan will still help as long as the girl is not too bad.


    Is this just looking at James? Cameron''s face, this girl is far from what she looks like, but her girlfriend in the previous life was Lindsay? Lohan, there are countless Hollywood celebrities who love to play or play crazy, but she is extremely rare to be able to play herself out of illness.


    However, these things have nothing to do with him, and the other party''s illness will happen several years later, and it is estimated that this TV series will not be affected.


    With James? Cameron¡¯s cooperation is considered to have reached an intention. The specific implementation depends on the idea of ??the technology madman. Ryan is not worried about anything. First, there is a memory of past lives for comparison, and second, there will be a professional team to monitor the flow of funds. .


    Leaving the Fox Studios, Ryan went directly to Jenkins Pictures. The hot summer season has come to an end, and the early dividends of the co-produced films have been paid.


    If you talk about box office profit alone, the profits made by Jenkins Pictures this summer are completely comparable to the net box office profits of several major film companies in one year. However, the box office income accounts for an increasing proportion of the total income of film companies. The less, compared to other aspects of income, Jenkins Pictures is the second-rate higher position.


    There is no way to do this. Even if Carlock Pictures was acquired in 1995, Jenkins Pictures'' background is still too bad. Without the support of a huge film library, it has almost reached the limit of development.


    Fortunately, Ryan''s ambitions are not on this. He has no ambition to develop the film company into a top film company. In private, he is formulating a big plan. Once this plan succeeds, he will completely step on his enemy.


    This requires dealing with the vampires on Wall Street. Fortunately, he has gained a lot of fame in the Jewish community in North America over the years. In addition, he has maintained the relationships introduced by the old Dean Katie over the years~www.novelhall.com ~ As long as you pay enough sincerity, it is not impossible to get their support.


    However, it all depends on the reaction of Disney''s management. If they plan to accompany the tyrant to go mad, then he doesn''t mind using some things he still remembers in his mind to have a good fight with them.


    After a large sum of funds arrived in the account, it was spilled out by Ryan. The new century is about to arrive. It stocks are performing the final madness, and the farm purchased for Nicole, although directly linked to the name of the Australian girl, But the funds still have to come from him.


    "Saving Private Ryan", "Insect Crisis", and "Jurassic Park 2" all brought large sums of income, but in terms of investment benefit ratio, "Ghost" deservedly ranked first, even this one. Movies that started off by hype did not escape the fate of being off-stage early.


    But when it was down, it had already stolen nearly $120 million in the box office in North America, which made many people in the industry fall through the eyes. Some people began to tout Drew, who led the project? Barrymore, some unscrupulous tabloids even dubbed her the title of "Magical Drew".


    Ryan didn''t care about this kind of fame or something, anyway, the dividends that belonged to him would not miss a cent. (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 334： Bad girl concentration camp

    Although "Ghost" has not yet been released overseas, and its reputation is extremely poor, and even many professional media have given a zero score, but the movie has made a big profit from the box office. It is always an indisputable fact. Being rated as zero by the media also shows that the film has reached a certain level and can use alternative ways to attract filmmakers in overseas markets.


    Now that he has made money, as the curator of the film, Drew will naturally hold a party to celebrate, and Ryan and his four classmates are all invited.


    "Ryan, are you coming soon? See if there is anything impolite in my dress."


    In the spacious RV, Darren Bowsman looked over while adjusting his bow tie, while Reese next to him was muttering, "Do you think Miss Barrymore would invite other female stars?"


    "Drew invited a lot of good friends." Ryan said with a smile.


    "Wow~" Liston was energetic, he wiped his shiny hair, "I heard that some female stars like to play, is it possible for me..."


    "Hey Hey hey!"


    Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a crisp girl''s voice. Tyler leaned on Ryan''s back and wrinkled his nose and said, "Can you pay attention? There are minors here!"


    "Sorry! I''m sorry!" Reese hurriedly made embarrassed gestures, although he had only recently met, he had already seen the difficulty of this little girl.


    "My dear, this was originally a party for adults." Ryan pulled the little guy down and let her sit on her seat safely, "It''s not suitable for your age to participate."


    "That''s not right~" Taylor tilted his head. "Don''t think I don''t know. The little fat girl Scarlett has also received an invitation, as well as the guy who played "Natural Couple"."


    "Miss Swift knows a lot." Chen Jiazheng said.


    "I saw Drew the other day and she told me. The "Nature Couple" recommended by Ryan made her a lot of money, and I should blackmail her severely." The little girl clenched her fists and waved vigorously. For a moment.


    Almost all the people who had made friends with Ryan knew that this was his most beloved sister. Naturally, he would look at her differently. Besides, Drew was an old friend who had known him since he was a boy.


    Drew Barrymore also lives in Beverly Hills, after experiencing a flash marriage. This guy has resumed her former slutty life, but as she gets older, she has a strong sense of professionalism and her own abilities. As well as the huge network of relationships brought by those who have made friends, they have become the help for the development of Flower Pictures.


    Especially when she first founded the film company, she drew a lot of investment from Ryan, and with enough funds, many problems were solved.


    Compared to people he met recently, Ryan valued the friends he made when he was still young, even though Drew had a bad reputation. But most of the female Hollywood stars are just like her, and he can''t control other people''s private lives.


    "Ryan, why do I need to thank you this time?"


    Standing at the door of his courtyard, rubbing Taylor''s blonde hair. After returning a pair of white eyes, Drew gave Ryan a light hug.


    "You don''t need to thank him, just thank me." The blond curly hair was not polite at all in front of an acquaintance.


    "Well, dear Miss Swift, what do you want?"


    Drew turned around and greeted David, Darren and others one by one, before he looked at Taylor.


    "I haven''t figured it out yet. I''ll tell you when I think about it."


    Several people laughed softly and walked into the garden where the party was held. At this time, many people had already arrived. Ryan greeted the people he knew well, and introduced Darren and others to these insiders.


    Regardless of the reputation of the pseudo-documentary, after the film''s success, Darren and the others gained some fame and even appeared on several talk shows.


    In addition, according to the agreement signed at the time, because each person holds a different position in the movie, he received a dividend of fifty to one million US dollars, which is a very impressive number for newcomers.


    The four of them are not the first brothers who just joined the entertainment circle. In the past few years, under the introduction of Ryan, they have gone to various crews to accumulate experience and understand that they can get dividends. I am afraid that the distribution company still sees it for friends, the film company. It is not uncommon for new directors and actors to fall behind in the accounts in Hollywood.


    Moreover, this money is enough for them whose family conditions are not very wealthy to realize more dreams in the future.


    "I''m looking for a little fat girl. It''s boring to be with you." Taylor pointed to Scarlett who was talking to a red-haired girl. After Ryan nodded, he strode over.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    Probably there are almost people here. Drew Barrymore brought a tall, thin, blonde woman with a big mouth and came over, "Introduce, this is my friend, Cameron Diaz."


    "Hello, Ryan."


    "Hello, Miss Diaz... Okay, Kami."


    When Ryan finished greeting, Drew Barrymore said, "Should we continue with the sequel?"


    "No, no, Drew, one such movie is enough." Ryan shook his finger. "Or do you enjoy the title of''Magical Drew''?"


    "Come on, Ryan." She lowered her voice, "Where is the success of this movie without you."


    Then she laughed, "Are we always going to start the next project? Don''t forget, you are a major shareholder of Flower Pictures..."


    "Charlie''s Angels, didn''t I let you buy the rights to the adaptation?" Ryan reminded.


    "You mean..."


    At the long dining table in the garden, there was a quarrel suddenly, interrupting the conversation between several people. Ryan looked in the direction of the voice, frowned, and walked past the crowd apart.


    Damn it! Drew cursed lowly and followed.


    I saw Tyler leaning on the dining table, arguing with a freckled red-haired girl, who looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old, and looked a little familiar.


    "The freckles on your face are as disgusting as **** pulled out by a robin..."


    There is no need to distinguish, Ryan also knows that this kind of words must come from Taylor''s mouth. The red-haired girl is obviously not Taylor''s opponent with sharp teeth, her face is flushed, and this is even more irritated, not waiting for Taylor. After the next sentence, he raised the juice in his hand and prepared to pour it over.


    "what are you going to do?"


    Scarlett on the side blocked her hand, and the juice fell on the grass.


    "You are not allowed to bully people."


    A girl with platinum blonde straight hair stood firmly in front of Taylor.


    "Don''t be impulsive, Lindsay, she is Ryan''s sister."


    Looking at Britney Spears, who was holding the red-haired girl, Ryan couldn''t help but look back at Drew Barrymore, what kind of host was really inviting what kind of guests.


    The girl who keeps Taylor behind is Paris Hilton. If you read it correctly, the red-haired girl should be Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears, who is holding her, will be the top three in Hollywood in the future. The topic queen is gathered together, plus Drew behind him, this can be regarded as a bad girl concentration camp.


    Ryan quickly walked to the middle of the few girls, his eyes swept coldly, everyone couldn''t help closing their mouths, he gave the little girl who was hiding behind Scarlett a stern look, and said to the other side, "It''s been a long time, Boob, and Lindsay."


    "Hello, Ryan." The two girls said weakly.


    "That''s all for today, okay?"


    In any case, the two sides are still young, and there is no irreconcilable contradiction.


    Ryan turned his head, "Alison."


    "Ok."


    Taylor lowered his head, walked over and shook hands with Lindsay Lohan, which was considered a reconciliation.


    Then he whispered a few words to Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, and made a okay gesture to Drew. Ryan pulled Tyler up and walked to the other side. The little girl shrugged her head. Like a defeated lion, he shook his head full of golden curls, but those sapphire blue eyes would peek at him from time to time.


    "Naughty!" Ryan rubbed her head gently.


    "Ryan, don''t blame Tyler this time." Scarlett Johansson followed from behind, "It was Lindsay Lohan who laughed at Tyler''s curly hair like Japanese instant noodles."


    "Well... that''s it, I can prove it too." Paris Hilton didn''t know when he followed.


    "Have you heard, Ryan, it''s not my fault!" Tyler''s frustration disappeared without a trace, and his little head raised again.


    "My dear, I never said it was your fault."


    Leading them to sit around a secluded table, Ryan asked, "Pali, Scarlett, what do you drink?"


    "Sydney..." Paris Hilton stuck out her tongue. "The juice is just fine."


    The waiter had served the juice, Taylor took a sip, and seemed to **** all the depression into his stomach, looked at the two girls opposite, and said seriously, "Okay, Scarlett, I¡¯m here to help you today. Come on, I decided not to call you chubby girl for three months. And Paris, I won¡¯t call you a pink fairy anymore."


    "Taylor..."


    The two girls gritted their teeth and looked at Taylor The eyes of the three girls rolled around each other''s faces, and at the same time Grid laughed.


    Ryan shook his head, the friendship between girls is always strange, "Parlie, when did you come to Los Angeles?"


    "I came here some time ago, but Scarlett brought me here today."


    She and Scarlett met, just like Natalie, because they went to play on the set of "Killer Leon", "Summer vacation is coming to an end, I want to come here to see if there is a chance."


    It sounds like she has decided to develop in Hollywood.


    "I remember you will graduate from high school in a year, right?" Ryan put down the juice in his hand and pressed Taylor back, who was naughty kneeling on the chair. "It''s never too late to come back after graduation."


    "I''m past sixteen and can drop out of school at any time..."


    "Hey, Paris, why did you disappear just now? I have been looking for you for a long time." A man in his twenties walked over from Ryan''s back. ()

 Chapter 335： Angel candidates

    "Hi, Rick."


    Paris Hilton stood up, before the other party approached, lowered her voice and said to Ryan, "I just met Rick at the party, and his father is a Warner shareholder. He said he could help me introduce a few. Angle se."


    This person, Ryan, had met at Warner¡¯s reception before. As Paris Hilton said, his father was indeed a shareholder of Warner. It¡¯s just such a minority shareholder who has no right to speak. Warner has dozens of them. many.


    As for the introduction angle se? It is probably fooling the girls who want to become famous, and even this kind of nonsense can be believed, no wonder Taylor said that she was still naive and innocent.


    When the man and Paris Hilton came together, Ryan''s brows frowned. He didn''t care too much, but when the other party stood beside Paris, he immediately remembered who this guy was.


    "Rick, this is my friend Ryan, should you know?" Paris Hilton introduced the two parties, "Ryan, this is Rick Solomon..."


    "Paris, are you friends with Ryan?" The other person''s eyes seemed a little guilty.


    "Yeah, I knew Ryan when I was ten years old."


    "Please sit down, Rick. Do you mind if I call that? Thank you." Ryan made a please gesture and waited for the other person to sit down and said, "I met Mr. Solomon some time ago, and he talked about it with me. In your case."


    Listening to Ryan''s words, the guy on the opposite side can only smile awkwardly. He knows not to talk about himself, even if his father is in front of him, he must maintain sufficient respect.


    Looking at Paris, Ryan sighed helplessly. In the Vanity Fair of Hollywood, it is normal to cheat, **** or even step on a few boats. The scenes of the ex-girlfriend''s intimacy are made into a video tape for sale, which is really not ordinary scum.


    Although Paris Hilton didn¡¯t know the reason for the inspection, strictly speaking, she was considered a victim-no one can blame others for being depraved in the future-and this scumbag...


    Ryan asks himself that he is neither a good person nor a moral person, but he doesn''t bother to do something like this.


    In any case, Paris Hilton is one of the friends he met when he was a teenager. Even if it was because of her previous efforts to protect Taylor, he had to reach out for this matter.


    "Rick, Paris and I became friends in 1991." Ryan''s eyes were clearly sharp, and he stared at each other and said, "I heard that you want to introduce hornse to Parrie?"


    "That..." Rick Solomon was a little embarrassed, he didn''t even know his role.


    "That''s it, say hello to Mr. Solomon." Ryan believed that the other party was definitely not a fool.


    Besides, Paris Hilton probably just aroused his interest. There are many beautiful women in Hollywood. If you offend yourself for a goal that you don¡¯t know if you can succeed, he should know that it¡¯s not worthwhile.


    "I will definitely bring your greetings." The guy nodded and left here quickly.


    Damn it! He muttered in his heart, but he didn''t expect that the little idiot princess who the Hilton family dreamed of becoming famous would be friends with the big people in the circle for many years.


    Although he was a little bit reluctant, he understood what kind of influence the other party had on Warner. If he really wanted to offend him, he might be the first to drive himself back to New Jersey.


    "Why did he leave?" Paris Hilton was still a little confused looking at the distant figure.


    "You''re such an idiot, Paris." Taylor hit her mercilessly. "Even I can tell that that guy is a liar, and he clearly has a bad heart for you."


    "con man?"


    "Hmm~"


    Tyler nodded his head sharply, scratching his blonde hair, and said, "He must have deceived many girls who want to become famous with the excuse of introducing horns. There are too many such people in Hollywood."


    "Really, Ryan?" Paris Hilton couldn''t help feeling a little embarrassed.


    "His father is a minority shareholder of Warner, and he is just a small actor himself."


    Ryan deliberately increased his tone on ¡®little¡¯. If Paris Hilton still affixed it, it would only show that she is hopeless.


    "So, Paris, you are still naive." Taylor muttered while biting the straw. "Even Scarlett is smarter than you. If you want to stay in Hollywood, you should ask me more."


    "My dear, where did you hear these things?" Ryan couldn''t help having a headache. The precocity and gossip of this little guy seemed to exceed his expectations.


    "Don''t forget, the tomboy Christine and I were playing big in a film company. I have never heard of anything." The little guy waved his hand indifferently. "In Hollywood, these gossips are not secrets."


    "Hey, everyone is having a good chat."


    Drew Barrymore walked over at this time, she was not polite, pulled a chair, and sat beside Tyler, "Honey, are you satisfied with the snacks and drinks you prepared?"


    "It''s not bad, although it''s a bit worse than my mother''s level."


    Drew smiled and turned to Ryan, "Do you mind continuing the topic?"


    After Ryan nodded, she asked, "Do you think there will be a market for the adaptation of Charlie''s Angels into a movie?"


    "Of course we need to add more modern elements." Ryan recalled a bit, "such as various high-tech equipment, such as more beautiful angels, and Kung Fu that is popular in North America."


    "Then can you write?"


    "Don''t be greedy, Drew, I will give you the outline of the story." Ryan shook his finger, "Find more screenwriters, this kind of story is not difficult, and besides you, find two more skilled and beautiful enough. Actress."


    Because of Tyler¡¯s presence, Ryan is not easy to say too blatantly, anyway Drew must be able to understand, she rolled her eyes, and suddenly said, "I think of a candidate, wait a moment, Ryan."


    After speaking, she left in a hurry.


    "Ryan, the new movie you discussed with Drew needs three beautiful girls?" Paris Hilton looked at him hopefully, "Can you recommend yourself?"


    "Do you know how to act?" Taylor asked back first.


    "of course¡­¡­"


    "Stop!" Ryan interrupted them, "Parlie, are you sure your father will let you go this way, don''t forget, you are less than eighteen years old now."


    "After February next year, I will be eighteen years old..."


    Just as Paris Hilton pouted his mouth, Drew Barrymore brought a tall and lanky blonde girl over, and it was Cameron Diaz who had been introduced earlier.


    There was no need for Ryan to speak at all. After the two women sat down, Drew kept talking and talking.


    "Kami, the angel in the film is an unusual girl. Not only must she be passionate, strong, and funny, but she must also be **** and quick to react. She doesn''t carry any guns on her body, but she has to fight against gangsters with advanced weapons..."


    At this moment, Drew Barrymore''s ** and ** disappeared and became a real businessman. What she said and the tricks she used to make rounds, let alone Cameron Die sitting next to her. Yazi, even Ryan subconsciously thinks this is a very reliable thing.


    "Okay!" Cameron Diaz suddenly raised his hand, "Drew, let''s do it!"


    "That''s it!" Drew Barrymore gave a quick pat on her cocked hand.


    "When will the film start, I will notify the agent to adjust the schedule." Cameron Diaz reached out to her, "What about the script? Always let me read the script first, right?"


    Drew shrugged and spread his hands again.


    "Oh, God, don''t you have no script yet?" Cameron Diaz couldn''t help covering his forehead.


    "With Ryan in there, are you still worried about the script?"


    Hearing Drew''s words, Cameron Diaz closed his open mouth, "Yes, it turned out to be working with Ryan. This must be a reliable thing."


    What does the name Ryan Jenkins stand for? How could she not know, maybe the movie Drew was talking about, or his proposal.


    "Drew, call in as many screenwriters as possible, and I will send you the outline of the movie in the mailbox."


    As early as when Drew was notified to buy the adaptation rights of "Charlie''s Angels" and "Shrek", Ryan completed the outline of these two scripts, and "Shrek" Drew was transferred to him at the original price. "Angel" is regarded as his reward to Drew.


    "Also!" Ryan raised his fingers, "Action scenes, especially women''s action scenes, are the biggest selling point of this movie. I will invite martial arts instructors from Hong Kong. The main actors participating in the performance will have to go through at least three Month¡¯s rigorous training!"


    "Damn it!" Cameron Diaz realized that he was being pulled onto the thief ship.


    However, seeing the person leading the project, she threw away the extra thoughts.


    "Ryan..." Paris Hilton over there finally couldn''t help it.


    "Drew, find someone to audition for Parrie, if acting..."


    Speaking of acting Ryan shook his head. The angels in the movie are enough to show off their figures. Where acting is needed, "The movie is a bit postponed until Pali turns eighteen."


    In this way, there is no need to choose the ugly Lucy Liu from the previous life who can let people spit out overnight meals. Without people with different skins, the crew will not be noisy. The shooting should go smoothly. Liz''s identity will definitely attract a lot of attention.


    Originally, Alex, the angel, was not of Chinese descent. The first candidate in the previous life was Angelina Jolie or Milla Jovovich, but after many changes, I don¡¯t know which producer with the highest aesthetics will decide. Lucy Liu is the candidate.


    Seeing Paris Hilton, who was smiling very happily, Drew was equally happy. She is an old man in Hollywood and naturally knows what this type of movie needs.


    Paris Hilton is beautiful enough and has been an amateur model for a long time. The lens sense is definitely not a problem. The most important thing is that the heir of the Hilton Group joined this movie. What a good publicity, it¡¯s easy. Can make the movie hot.


    With enough attention, plus Ryan''s name, is the box office still a problem? (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 336： Coppolas daughter

    With the opening of schools in North America, the disturbing summer files came to an end, and Ryan returned to school. Although the USC Film School has always advocated practice over theory, it is unavoidable that it will not appear in the classroom for a long time. Can''t explain it. .


    In fact, among the classmates of the same period, no one has more experience than him.


    A student who has been on the Oscar podium as a producer, I am afraid that USC is not only unprecedented, it is estimated that there will be no future.


    Although he missed a lot of classes and was reprimanded by his mentor Professor Great for several times, Ryan was not worried about graduation. In the past few years in USC, he personally sponsored several million dollars for the film school. , Plus George? Lucas and Robert? The relationship between Zemikis''s two star graduates is not a problem.


    Besides, a star student who was expelled from the school by USC is a completely different concept from a famous alumnus who graduated normally from USC.


    After finishing a theoretical course, Ryan packed up the teaching materials, followed Darren''s four, walked into the outdoor cafe of the film school, and chose a quiet corner.


    After the five of them ordered coffee and sat down, they instantly attracted the attention of countless people.


    Needless to say, Ryan, Darren and the others have now become the influential figures in the film academy. Regardless of the quality of the pseudo-documentary, it is always a fact that the box office of more than 100 million US dollars in North America is always a fact, and the business is the first. In Hollywood, such achievements will naturally be noticeable.


    You know, directors who have been making films for decades and whose single box office can''t exceed the 100 million yuan mark are everywhere in Hollywood.


    Although there is no exact information, these people understand that Ryan is definitely inseparable from behind this incident. Usually, the four guys rely on his friendship and go to many film crews to practice, which makes them again Envy and jealous.


    Why did you go out to rent an apartment in the first place? If you apply for a dormitory, you will be divided around him like the four guys. How much effort will this save for future development?


    "Ryan, we really don''t make a sequel anymore?" Reese seemed a little unwilling.


    "One chance is enough." Ryan said very seriously. "Frankly speaking, what do you think of the quality of that movie? How much box office can you get if it is released normally?"


    "Although I don''t want to belittle my work." Darren? Bowsman sighed, "Perhaps it is enough for a student test film, but it is better than a movie that can enter the theater..."


    He didn''t continue, but shook his head.


    "However, we learned a lot through this feature film." It was Chen Jiazheng who spoke.


    "Don''t worry, take your time." Ryan drank coffee slowly, enjoying the rare leisure, "We are still young, and we have time."


    "I originally planned to concentrate the dividends and shoot a real horror movie." Darren? Bossman turned his head and looked at Chen Jiazheng, "This guy Chen is too stingy, and he refuses to take out the money when he says anything."


    "Chen has his own ideals." David patted the opponent''s arm lightly.


    "What is your ideal?" Ryan asked cooperatively.


    "After graduation, I returned to China and founded a film company to develop our film industry." This is the ideal that Chen Jiazheng said.


    "Back home?" Ryan shook his head.


    He has heard from the other party that his life experience is just a relatively wealthy family. If it doesn''t matter, he wants to get a foot in the media industry and he wants to grow. How difficult is that?


    "Why not stay in Hollywood? This is the center of the world''s film industry." Reese asked curiously.


    Chen Jiazheng spread his hands and said nothing.


    "I''ve seen a movie made by a director from your side. It''s called..." David patted his head and remembered it for a while. "A female director named Joan? Chen, the film was called "Heavenly Bath". I don¡¯t understand the movie, I just fell asleep halfway through. The only impression is that the heroine is very pitiful."


    "The culture of every country and nation has its own fascinating and obscure features." Ryan completely regarded it as a relaxing chat. "Hollywood movies can last forever because we absorb cultures from all over the world. And talents, and then fused them together to become the film and television industry that now leads the entire world..."


    Ryan stopped suddenly because he saw George looking for a woman with a woman with neat short black hair, a hooked nose and two big protruding teeth.


    "Ryan."


    George walked to him and said in a low voice, "Miss Sophia called a mobile phone half an hour ago. I told her that you were in class, but she didn''t expect her to come directly."


    "Okay, I''ll take care of it." Ryan nodded, stood up and stretched out his hand. "It''s been a long time, Sophia."


    "Sorry, Ryan, I am looking for you in a hurry." Sophia? Coppola shook his hand gently.


    Because the other party played one of Natalie''s five maids in "Star Wars 1", Ryan met her when he went to visit the class. The other party was born in a prominent Hollywood family and his father was Francisco, one of the four major directors. ? Coppola, cousin is Oscar actor Nicholas? Cage is a model, photographer, designer, actor, screenwriter and director.


    Oh, yes, it seems that she has not yet started her career as a screenwriter and director.


    "Sit, Sophia." Ryan made a please gesture.


    Darren, who was at the same table, and the other five people, saw that they might have business matters to discuss, and quickly changed a table.


    "Couldn''t it be Ryan who owed the debt outside and was called by the woman?" Reese''s associations were too rich.


    "That''s Sophia? Coppola, haven''t you seen "The Godfather 3"?" David said in a low voice.


    "Sophia? What''s wrong with Coppola? Isn''t it just having a good dad? Our Ryan''s achievements can throw her ten blocks away..."


    Naturally, Ryan would not hear these words, he looked at Sophia curiously? Coppola, apart from her cousin Nicholas? Cage had nothing to do with the Coppola family except that Cage had worked together. Even if she starred in the same movie, Natalie and she were just nodding acquaintances.


    "Ryan, I know your time is tight." Sophia? Coppola has inherited her father''s ability and spoke very directly, "I want to buy the film adaptation rights of a novel from you."


    "Me?" Ryan was even stranger.


    Most of the works written by herself are commercialized works. In my memory, she is not in this style.


    "That''s it." Sophia? Coppola quickly explained, "I contacted Mr. Geoffrey? Eugenides, wanting to buy the film adaptation rights of his best-selling book "Death of **", but he informed me that the film adaptation of this novel The rights were sold to Carlock Pictures as early as 1995. Your Jenkins Pictures has now acquired Carlock Pictures, and the right of adaptation is in your hands."


    "So it''s like this." Ryan was really not sure about this, and waved to George and asked for a mobile phone, "Wait a minute, I''ll ask."


    Called Mario? On the phone call from Casa, Ryan asked a few words briefly. The adaptation rights of "Death of Sex" are indeed in his hands, because Jenkins Pictures prefers a commercial production style, and there is no production plan in the short term.


    "The film adaptation rights of the novel are indeed in Jenkins Pictures." Ryan returned the mobile phone to George.


    "Can you transfer it to me? Jeffrey? Mr. Eugenides is not a problem." Sophia? Coppola looked at Ryan and said if the other party disagrees, she can only go to George? Lucas and Stephen? Spielberg, with their relationship, presumably the other party will not refuse.


    "May... ask, what are you doing with it?" Ryan stirred his brain and thought of a lot of things, but still had to confirm.


    "I want to direct this movie." Sophia? Coppola gave a helpless smile, "You should know, Ryan, my career as an actor has failed. I don''t want to continue. I think Hollywood should look at me from a different perspective."


    In her brief words, Ryan recalled more things, even the plot of "Death of **" which had not been read a few times.


    "Well, I can transfer the right of adaptation to you at the original price."


    The other party is Francisco after all? Coppola''s daughter, but haven''t waited for Sophia? Coppola was happy, and Ryan put up his hand, "There is one condition!"


    "Go ahead." Sophia? Coppola shrugged helplessly.


    "I remember there was a 13-year-old girl in the original novel. Do you plan to keep this role?" Ryan asked.


    "Of course." Apparently Sophia? Coppola has a concrete idea.


    "I recommend an actor to play this role." Ryan said very quickly, "Scarlett? Johnson, starred in "The Horse Whisperer" released in May."


    Sophia? Coppola thought for a while, probably recalling the scene in the movie and finally did not refuse, "Well, as long as there is no problem with the audition."


    It''s a good deal to trade a supporting role for the right to adapt. Besides, that girl''s performance in "The Horse Whisperer" is really good.


    "Deal!"


    Ryan shook her hand again.


    Melanie? Sloan is one of the top management of Jenkins Pictures, Scarlett? Johnson is his friend again, and Ryan will not stand idly by where he can help.


    As some people say, he treats people around him very well.


    As for Sophia? Ryan is not worried about the audition that Coppola said, Scarlett now and in the next few years? Johnson, that''s a standard literary girl.


    It¡¯s strange to say that most actresses started from the vase in the movie and slowly became a literary acting school, and Scarlett? Johnson started as an acting school and became a standard vase as an adult.


    Does it have something to do with her figure? (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 337： About the Lord of the Rings

    In the office of Jenkins Pictures, Ryan sits behind his desk and drags the mouse to quickly flip through the dense documents. This is the first draft script of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy sent by Peter Jackson a while ago. The content is not counted. Perfect, the New Zealand Fatty is deeply influenced by Hollywood. After finalizing the first draft, he will modify it while shooting.


    Fortunately, the direction of the story and the main scenes are infinitely close to Ryan¡¯s impression. He does not intend to intervene, because most Hollywood movies are shot in this way. In the earliest days, the scripts he gave were not often used. People change around.


    Pie Jinsli sat opposite him, slowly flipping the script in her hand, and after a long time she closed it and put it on the table, stacking it with another script.


    "Ryan, this is not your style." She was a little surprised.


    "Style?" Ryan shook his head, not hiding in front of his own people, "Pat, as long as I can benefit, I don''t care about the style."


    "Well, Ryan, tell me what I need to do." Pie? Jinsli didn''t think that this guy found himself just to appreciate his newly completed script.


    ""Gladiator" will be publicized as soon as possible. I don''t want similar movies to appear in Hollywood in recent years."


    Kinsley has done this kind of thing many times, and immediately nodded, "No problem, I will let someone deal with it as soon as possible, what about the other one?"


    "You take "The Pianist" and go to France as soon as possible to talk to Roman Polanski. I want him to direct this film next year." Ryan shook the table lightly, thinking, "He doesn''t If you dare to come to North America, you can only do it yourself."


    "Well then, it seems I''m going to be busy again."


    Although things have been going on for many years, the U.S. justice department has been watching Polanski, and she has only to make a trip in person.


    There was an aggressive knock on the door, and George walked in. "Mr. Peter Jackson and Ms. Francis Wall are here."


    "Invite them to the meeting room. Tell Julis and Mario to go there too."


    Ryan closed the notebook and asked Pie? Jinsli, "Are you interested in going over and have a look, Pat?"


    "The Lord of the Rings matter?"


    "Yeah. They are ready to select actors." Ryan walked out the door first, and Jinsli followed from behind. "It is said that this movie needs a large number of actors. I can recommend some suitable candidates to them."


    "You will really look for opportunities." Ryan smiled, like other Hollywood studios, of course this kind of thing will take priority to his own people.


    "KK has signed a lot of potential actors."


    "Trust me, Pat, take a turn on Hollywood Boulevard, and there will be at least a hundred actors with potential."


    The two entered the meeting room jokingly, and the others were already waiting here. After greeted them one by one, everyone sat around the long conference table.


    "Peter, you seem to have lost a lot of weight, and you have succeeded in losing weight." Ryan joked casually.


    "It''s a big project to shoot a trilogy at a time. There is still more than 300 million US dollars of investment pressure." The New Zealand fat man touched his wiry beard with one hand, and gestured in front of him with the other, "I haven''t slept for half a year. One feels settled."


    "Do you need me to give you a holiday?" Ryan put a smile away. In any case, the complicated preparatory work of "Lord of the Rings" can be so smooth, and Peter Jackson takes great credit.


    "No, no." His head shook. "Completing this series is my biggest dream and wish."


    "Ryan, have you read the script?" It was Peter Jackson''s wife, Francis Wall, who presided over the screenwriting of "The Lord of the Rings".


    "Basically read it again." Ryan nodded and saw that the Jacksons were both staring at him, obviously wanting to be recognized, "Well then. You did a good job. Peter, Fran, I can give you enough rights, but You must give me a great trilogy."


    "I''m doing my best!" Peter Jackson raised his eyes.


    "Trust me, Peter. If the trilogy can be successful, you will become a major Hollywood director."


    The words of encouragement stop here. After Ryan asked about some specific preliminary work, Peter Jackson''s assistant brought a film of film.


    "This is the location I chose, near Queenstown in my hometown, New Zealand."


    After all the curtains were closed and the meeting room plunged into darkness, beautiful landscape paintings appeared on the white curtain.


    "This is close to the original ecology of New Zealand. I think this is the most suitable prototype for Middle-earth." Peter Jackson stood aside and explained, "The most important thing is that we can use labor, horses, extras, and daily expenses here. Wait for the cost to be minimized so that more money can be invested in post-production."


    "You are the director, you can make the decision." Seeing that there was no unexpected change, Ryan nodded directly.


    It¡¯s a wise choice to stay away from North America. The tax, labor, and living expenses of the crew here will be a lot higher than shooting overseas.


    Maximizing profits is the pursuit of every investor.


    "In terms of actors, I don''t plan to invite first-line stars. This is a group show. It is impossible to spend too much money on actors."


    Peter Jackson flipped through the thick information, "Recently the crew will audition for the Fellowship Team and several other actors..."


    "You and Julis will be the master."


    This movie needs too many actors, and Ryan doesn¡¯t have that much time in the audition room.


    "Ryan, can you just listen to me?" Peter Jackson smiled helplessly.


    "Sorry." Ryan gestured to please continue.


    "If you can, can you be invited to play a role in the Fellowship Team?"


    I? The Fellowship Team? Ryan looked at the big fat man who couldn''t find his eyes with a smile, an image flashed in his mind, and shook his head quickly.


    "Who? Gandalf? Jimley? Aragorn? Or Paramir?"


    "The one you ignored, Legolas? Green Leaf!"


    Hearing what the other party said, Ryan felt like that as expected, sighed, and asked, "Do you think I''m really suitable?"


    "I don''t think there is a better candidate in Hollywood than you."


    Peter Jackson looked around as he spoke, and everyone, including Julis and Jinsli, showed a look of approval.


    Legolas in the previous life? Green Leaf is indeed very attractive, but Ryan has no interest in it. Legolas in the movie has simplified the character of the novel too much. This role is to thoroughly carry forward the concept of male vases. Even Jack Dawson is far inferior to him. He is simply the future killer of male actors.


    He still remembers the previous life after the release of The Hobbit 2. Legolas returned to the movie, and countless female fans scrambled to squeeze into the theater. They didn''t care about the movie, as long as they could see the footage of Legolas pulling the bow and arrow.


    I have already played the roles of Frank and Jack Dawson, who are suspected of showing off. If I continue to walk down this road, it is really going to be dark.


    However, he is still very interested in this movie, and the role needs to be changed.


    "No, Peter, you should find an actor beautiful enough for Legolas." Ryan saw that everyone was still staring at him. I can''t help tapping on the table lightly, "Handsome and beautiful are two concepts for men, please don''t confuse them."


    Seeing that what he said didn''t seem to work, Ryan had to continue, "Let''s do it. Peter, I can act in this movie, but the role..."


    "I think Gandalf or Aragorn are very good." Both the wizard and the Dundan race are good choices.


    That''s right, in Tolkien''s world, Gandalf''s wizards are not professions, but races like dwarves and elves.


    The others couldn''t help looking at each other, and Aragorn didn''t say anything. Gandalf is definitely not suitable, otherwise he would have to spend at least half a day to put on makeup before shooting every day.


    "Ryan, your age..." Aragorn in the movie is over eighty years old.


    "Peter, age is not a problem." Ryan also didn''t want to force him, reminded. "Don''t make a decision yet, the "Leaves of a Deserted Island" starring me will be released before the new year. You can make a decision after watching this movie.


    Originally, Ryan was still interested in Jimley, but thought of playing such a role. It is estimated that my fans will unite to protest.


    Aragorn is actually not bad. A powerful and masculine ranger has troublesome beard on his face. If the beard of the character is removed, it is estimated that the massive book fans of "Lord of the Rings" will have opinions.


    After sending away Peter Jackson and his wife, Ryan went to Robert Zemeckis''s studio again. His former alumnus, after a short vacation, began the post-production of "Leaves of the Deserted Island".


    When the director agreement was signed, Ryan gave him the final editing rights, and Robert Zemeckis also wanted to use this film to challenge the next year''s best director, Jinren, and put all his energy into it.


    This movie hardly uses too many special effects The most troublesome part is to replace some of the shots taken during the day with the background at night, and then dubbing, because a large number of outdoor scenes are shot on the island. , There are too many noises during live recording, and most of the shots need to be re-dubbed.


    Fortunately, these scenes are all shots of Ryan alone. As long as Robert Zemsky can complete the editing on time, these tasks are not much difficult for him.


    Since the acquisition of Carlock Films and after several years of development, Jenkins Films has a small scale, but has a complete management system. After the scripts of the screenwriters are approved by Ryan, they will cooperate with others. Partners, began preparations, filming, screenings, and various derivatives operations.


    "American Pie", "Scream", and "Reaper is Coming" are currently in the post-production stage. The first two will be available in the North American market at the end of this year or early next year, and "Scream 3" has also entered the pre-production stage. In the preparatory stage, Charlize Theron will star in this series of movies for the last time.


    After Pai Jinsli took "The Pianist" to France, there was soon news that Roman Polanski wanted to talk to Ryan in person. Since the other party has been wanted by the U.S. judicial department, he rarely leaves France or In Poland, Ryan had to take a trip in person. ()

 Chapter 338： Polanski

    "Hurry up, Ryan, a little bit faster, your speed is too slow, you''re more sluggish than the snails in the Sacramento Valley, we''re going to miss the flight''s takeoff time!"


    Leaning on Ryan''s back, Taylor screamed excitedly while patting his shoulder.


    "My dear, you seem to have forgotten that we are going to take a private jet." Ryan strongly supported the little **** the back. "You are too heavy, Taylor!"


    "Too heavy?" Taylor''s small head stretched out from his shoulders, "Ryan, don''t you think it is very rude to describe a lady like this?"


    "You''re just a little bit now." Ryan freed a hand and pressed her head back. "There is still a long way to go before becoming a lady."


    "Huh~ wait and see." The little girl was unconvinced. "When I grow up, I must be taller than Nicole, and slimmer than Nat!"


    Carrying this dead skinny face on his back, he insisted on following the little girl who went to France. Ryan led George and quickly came near the long-term private apron. Before he could get to his business jet, Taylor on his back started again. Yell.


    "Wow, the painting of the plane has finally been changed."


    She patted Ryan on the shoulder, jumped to the ground, and ran to the nose of the aircraft a few steps, pointing to the bright red spray on it, "I declare that this plane will belong to Miss Taylor Swift from now on! Ryan, I decide I won''t hate you anymore!"


    The side of the pointed nose is newly painted with a bright red ¡®13¡¯ number, and above the number, the word ¡®ts¡¯ of the same color is particularly eye-catching.


    This is what the little guy strongly requested after taking the plane, whether it was Ryan or Nicole''s plane, there was her mark.


    "My dear, why do you like 13."


    Entering the plane, Ryan pressed the naughty guy on the seat and fastened her seat belt. Bian said, "In our tradition, this is not a lucky number."


    "That''s your tradition, not mine." Taylor said nonchalantly.


    "Okay, skip class, will take off soon." Ryan buttoned the soundproof headset to her ear.


    After the plane entered a stable flight state, Taylor could not wait to unfasten the seat belt and take off the headset. "I hate this thing the most."


    "It can protect your hearing and your future singing career."


    "The future is far away. I really want to grow up right away."


    The little guy lay his chin on the table in front of him, Ryan gently rubbed her blond hair, took the fruit basket from the cabinet next to her, and placed it in front of her.


    "Take what you want."


    "I want to eat grapes." The little girl opened her mouth after she said ¡®ah¡¯.


    Ryan had no choice but to peel the skin and put the flesh into her mouth. Tyler squinted. He seemed to enjoy himself, "Ryan, you are the best brother."


    "You are the most troublesome sister." Ryan revealed her essence ruthlessly.


    "It didn''t hurt people like you did, okay?" Taylor couldn''t help but squat his mouth.


    "Then you are the cutest sister. It''s okay." Ryan shook her head helplessly, and the little girl suddenly laughed, "It''s pretty much the same."


    With that, she jumped off the sofa chair. "My guitar and banjo, as a reward, I decided to perform live for you!"


    The plane landed slowly at Charles de Gaulle Airport. Ryan walked out of the airport holding the sleeping little girl, and Pai Jinsli, who came to pick him up, couldn''t help showing a questioning look after seeing the two.


    "No way, she was there when you called that day, and she was clamoring to come."


    When Ryan got into the car holding Tyler, Jinsli reminded, "You are a little too spoiled for her."


    "Don''t talk about us, you are not like this." Ryan made a driving gesture to Jinsli.


    Maybe it''s that she has never started a family and has no relationship with children. Just like Nicole and Ryan, Pie Kingsley treats Taylor very well.


    "Not enough setbacks are bad for Taylor''s future."


    "What''s the disadvantage?"


    Probably the vibration of the car awakened her, and Taylor opened her royal blue eyes in a daze, "Are we in Paris?"


    As he said, he jumped off his seat and leaned on the window to look outside, "This is my first time in Paris."


    "Turn around from the Champs Elys¨¦es and the Seine River and then back to the hotel." Ryan said to the driver.


    He and Roman Polanski met in the afternoon of the next day. After the jet lag, Ryan met the infamous and famous director in an old-fashioned cafe.


    The director who almost died in a Nazi concentration camp in his childhood has a great reputation throughout the Western world, and more than half of this reputation is not derived from his works, even if his works are good enough and famous.


    In Roman Polanski''s body, there have been two things that shocked Hollywood and even the entire United States.


    In 1969, Roman Polanski went to Europe to shoot a movie. One morning, when the servants he hired went to work in his mansion, he found that his pregnant wife Sharon Tate, also a famous Hollywood movie star, was in The five people inside were tortured to death. The worst of them was cut more than 60 times on the body. Sharon Tate and the baby in her abdomen were stabbed at least 16 times...


    The murderer is the famous cult organization "Manson Family". The lead messenger is their leader Charlie Manson. Although the murderer was later captured and sentenced to life imprisonment, the murderer¡¯s motives for killing are still out of the question. Many media even suspect that Roman Polanski himself played a disgraceful role in it.


    Many members of the Manson family are still active in all corners of North America. They are a group of lunatics and have assassinated President Ford.


    Among Hollywood stars, there are also followers of Charlie Manson.


    As for the second matter, it is a stain that Roman Polanski will never erase in his entire life.


    Perhaps it was the pain caused by the loss of his wife and son. Roman Polanski¡¯s own character is the same as his works, becoming increasingly dark. In 1978, he seduced himself in the house of the famous film star and talented actor Jack Nicholson. The 13-year-old girl star Samantha, and then fled to France, shocked the entire Western world.


    Even now, Samantha himself has already withdrawn the lawsuit against him. The US Department of Justice has been staring at him. Not only did Roman Polanski dare not return to North America, he rarely even left France, which is not against the United States, and his home country Poland.


    This is also the reason why Ryan came here on a special trip. After all, the other party''s conditions are special. If he leaves France, he will be detained by any country and then extradited back to the United States.


    In his previous life, he was placed under house arrest in Switzerland, a permanently neutral country, for nearly a year, and paid close to US$5 million in bail.


    Of course, Ryan doesn''t care about these at all. Hollywood has never measured the achievements of actors or directors by moral quality. Otherwise, Woody Allen would not be nominated for Oscar one after another, and Roman Polanski would not be able to win the best director Golden Man after such a huge scandal, even if he dared not go to the awards ceremony. Receive the award on the spot.


    "I have read the script."


    Roman Polanski, who is in his sixties, sat opposite Ryan and took a picture of the script bound together. "Even if I was a person who experienced that nightmare myself, the script I wrote was nothing more than this. ."


    "Thank you." Ryan held the coffee without making any changes.


    "But I don''t think you are an actor suitable for Mr. Spearman." Although he knew that sitting across from him was a remarkable figure from Hollywood, but Roman Polanski didn''t have any euphemisms.


    "Why? Age?"


    Ryan believed. It''s definitely not a matter of appearance. Hair can be dyed black, and in the previous life, Polanski''s favorite actor was not Adrian Brody. It was Ralph Fiennes.


    That''s right, they are the lunatics and murderers in Schindler''s List.


    "Although others say you are a genius, you are too young. Are you familiar with that period of history? Do you have that kind of life experience?"


    "Mr. Polanski. I participated in "Schindler''s List", and in the first half of the year, I went to Jerusalem¡¯s Avenue of the Righteous and the Holocaust Memorial. I know nothing better about that period of history. Less." Slowly put the coffee cup on the table, Ryan gently twitched his knuckles, waiting for the words under the other party.


    Roman Polanski shook his head, picked up the coffee cup in front of him and stopped talking.


    Ryan sighed in vain. The other party is the first choice, but not the only choice. No one in Hollywood is indispensable. It seems that he is going to take back the script. Hollywood or Europe is interested in this theme. There should be many Jewish directors in the United States, lacking Roman Polanski¡¯s personal experience and dark and cold style, but it¡¯s just a little more troublesome.


    "Mr. Polanski..."


    Just as Ryan wanted to return to the script, Roman Polanski suddenly put down his coffee cup, "I''ll take this job as a director!"


    Sure enough, he is a guy with a weird character. Ryan couldn''t help but slander. The other party must have made a decision before they came, and it just happened to be such a big circle.


    "I have a few conditions, I want to explain in advance."


    "Speak." Ryan made a please gesture.


    "The location of the film is either in France or in Poland. Warsaw is the first choice."


    "no problem!"


    Even if he doesn''t say it, Ryan will definitely do the same. He is also worried that he will choose another country and the director will be taken away before the filming of his crew is finished.


    "I want all the rights of the crew including the final editing rights, of course you can be stationed in financial supervision."


    "There is no problem with these!" Ryan spread his hands.


    "Ryan, although your script is cold enough from the perspective of a bystander, Mr. Spearman, the style I shoot will be colder and darker. I want to make this point beforehand and don¡¯t create differences in post-production. ."


    After Ryan nodded, the Polish station got up and said before leaving, "Let your agent contact my agent as soon as possible. Before the filming starts, I need enough time to make preliminary preparations." (To be continued. .)


    ps: The codeword has forgotten the time. . . . ()

 Chapter 339： decision

    After discussing matters concerning the film, Ryan took Tyler and spent two days in Paris. The Seine, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, etc., walked around and watched. On the last day, he was unfortunate. Recognized by reporters, he quickly left Paris by plane and came to London.


    "We haven''t gone to Proswan to see lavender." Taylor complained as he walked outside the Heathrow Airport.


    "There will be opportunities in the future, don''t you want to watch Big Ben?"


    Ryan rubbed her head, and when she first walked out of the VIP passage, countless flashes were suddenly lit, and the eyes of the dangling people could hardly be opened. After whispering "Damn", he blocked it with one hand. In front of Taylor''s eyes to prevent the glare from hurting her eyes.


    Although the paparazzi in North America are also rampant, they tend to converge a little when minors are present, and these guys from Fleet Street are really unscrupulous.


    But how did they know they were in London? Could it be the leaked news from the Charles de Gaulle Airport?


    "George, hold Tyler."


    Without waiting for his instructions, Mr. Bodyguard had already picked up the little girl and covered her face with a coat.


    "Hey, it doesn''t seem to be right." When the sound of the camera shutter diminished, a strange sound suddenly came from the other side.


    "It''s not quite right, we caught a bigger fish."


    "Wow, Ryan Jenkins, it''s developed now..."


    "Tomorrow''s front page headlines..."


    Listening to these faint comments, Ryan understood that luck was bad enough. These guys obviously waited here to take pictures of other people, but they bumped in.


    Obviously, Ryan''s appearance made these guys excited, even if a few bodyguards and airport staff surrounded Ryan, they still squeezed forward like an old life. Throw one question after another at the same time.


    "Ryan, what are you doing in London this time?" This kind of question is normal.


    "Why didn''t you come to the commemoration of the first anniversary of the death of the princess?" This was questioning.


    "Who is the little girl who was with you just now? What does it have to do with you? What''s her name? Is it convenient to tell?" This is a curious reporter.


    "Ryan, I heard that you want to become a British citizen and become a member of the Kingdom of Great Britain. Did you come here for this purpose?" This is the man who runs the train.


    "Mr. Jenkins, I heard from people familiar with the matter that you intend to put the "Harry Potter" series on the big screen in the near future. Are you here to investigate the location?"


    This reporter''s question immediately attracted everyone''s attention, and the other paparazzi changed the direction of questioning almost at the same time. "Is this true, Ryan?"


    "Another British Empire will occupy the Hollywood market. May I ask Ryan what do you think..."


    Ryan admired the imagination of these people very much. They should really write fantasy novels. He raised his head and glanced at these paparazzi without answering any questions. Under the flashlight, he left the airport.


    All the reporters followed him. As for the people who wanted to capture photos, they have long been left behind. All the movie stars in the Kingdom of Great Britain added up, and his news is not as valuable.


    After Ryan walked out of the airport. A man with horoscoped eyebrows and a bitter face came out of the VIP passage and looked at the empty airport. Can''t help being surprised, "Where are the reporters who were specifically contacted?"


    "Mr. Grant, I deliberately pretended to be an insider. To the "Daily Mail" and "The Sun"..." A man who was obviously an assistant said the names of a large list of newspapers, "I have already notified why a reporter Didn''t come?"


    Those who specifically invite reporters cannot get the camera attention, but those who don''t want to pay attention to reporters are in trouble.


    These guys on Fleet Street, following Ryan''s car, came outside his villa in Kensington, and then they stopped helplessly.


    Of course they won''t leave here, instead they stayed firmly at the door.


    "This is troublesome, our journey will be overwhelmed."


    Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Taylor was biting a lollipop and gloating.


    This villa has always been taken care of by a dedicated housekeeping company, and it¡¯s much more comfortable to live in than a hotel.


    "This is not Hollywood. The British paparazzi are crazy and troublesome." Ryan packed the little girl''s luggage aside and sat opposite her. "If you don''t mind a bunch of people following behind, we will do it tomorrow. Start visiting the places that interest you."


    "Forget it." Taylor flattened her mouth. She grew up in Hollywood and naturally knew what those paparazzi were. "I would rather hide at home and practice guitar than go out and be watched."


    She winked at Ryan again, "I''m not an adult yet, you have to protect me."


    "Of course, my dear, no one can hurt you."


    Being caught by paparazzi, especially by the British paparazzi, it is difficult to get rid of them completely. Even with George¡¯s skills, you can temporarily get rid of them, but Ryan believes that as long as he appears on the streets of London, it will not take long. There will be countless paparazzi killed one after another.


    The paparazzi in Britain are so prosperous that they are inseparable from the British themselves. Their enthusiasm for gossip and scandal can be ranked in the world. The streets and alleys of London are filled with the so-called " Informant''.


    Otherwise, just relying on the limited number of entertainment reporters, how can they be so well informed.


    On the second day, Ryan found that the number of paparazzi outside had doubled, and many reporters from major newspapers were among them. These regular reporters even went to the gate of the villa and wanted to talk to George. Wait for someone to communicate.


    "Ryan, look, George really doesn''t give the lady face, it''s as cold as a stone."


    Hiding in front of the window on the second floor, Taylor was holding a toy binoculars, staring out the door to watch the excitement, "Wow, that seems to be an OB van, right? Their goal seems to be our house, is there a big deal? Happened? Are these guys crazy?"


    Leaning to the window, Ryan took a look outside. It was indeed something wrong. It was not the first time he came to London. He had never been treated like this before. All the OB vans drove over. What''s the situation?


    Walking to the phone, Ryan dialed the number, "George, what happened?"


    "British wishful thinking, wait a moment, and I will deliver today''s newspaper." The phone immediately hung up.


    In just a few minutes, George sent up several of London''s most famous newspapers. Ryan picked up a few copies, flipped through them, and quickly found news about himself.


    "Yesterday, Ryan Jenkins arrived in London by special plane. In an interview with reporters, he acquiesced that this trip was to investigate the location of the Harry Potter series of films. After the film technology became more and more mature, he finally planned to make this film. Great Britain is on the big screen."


    "Harry Potter is about to start shooting, Ryan himself has already acquiesced that a movie era belonging to the little wizard is about to begin..."


    "In view of the fact that the stories in the book are almost all in the UK, such as King''s Cross Railway Station and other places, the crew will definitely have to shoot on-site, and the filming location will definitely be selected in the UK..."


    Well-known big newspapers, although the reported news is very different from the real situation, it is not too exaggerated. Those tabloid newspapers that fear the world will not mess up, and the things published, almost make Ryan laugh.


    "All the roles in the movie should all be British actors. This is a must! Can you imagine Harry Potter and Hermione Granger with an American accent?"


    "Harry Potter is a typical British style. If the filming location is out of the UK, it would be a disaster..."


    "People all over the UK are waiting for the day when this series becomes a movie. I believe Ryan Jenkins will not let us down."


    "Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman have multiple relationships with the royal family. Perhaps Her Majesty should speak up and let this series remain in the UK."


    Throwing the newspaper aside, Ryan silently calculated that the previous life "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" had been selected for actors since the beginning of 1999. The huge momentum made the series'' reputation deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. From a publicity point of view, at that time Warner almost did it to the extreme.


    Maybe it''s time for this project to start?


    This series requires long enough preparation time. It takes time to select actors, choose location, make props and sets, negotiate with toy dealers and other derivative manufacturers, and so on.


    And most importantly, choose a suitable director.


    In fact, for this kind of magical adventure movies of all ages, there is no more suitable candidate than Spielberg. Ryan is different from Rowling in the previous life. He doesn''t care about the actors who are from the country. It''s no big deal that all the rights of the actors are given to Spielberg.


    In the previous life Rowling¡¯s favorite candidate was also an old Jewish man, but Spielberg insisted on letting Hailey Joe Osment play Harry Potter, completely contrary to the original author¡¯s opinion. , And DreamWorks still wanted to add a kick to it, which was completely rejected by Warner.


    After thinking about it, Ryan still gave up Spielberg. He also didn''t want to accept the investment of DreamWorks. This series will only choose a top film company to cooperate with, DreamWorks does not have this qualification yet.


    Now that Spielberg has been given up, it¡¯s better to follow the method of the previous life. All the actors are British, and the location is also in the UK. There will be another massive audition. As for the final role, will it change? It doesn''t matter.


    The Harry Potter series will only be the role-made actors, and the value of those actors has plummeted after completing this series.


    Want to transform? When he was born again, no one could succeed.


    Anyway, the preparatory work takes an extremely long time, so let''s just disclose some news to these guys, and let the topic become hot first.


    Ryan quickly made a decision. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 340： Harry Potter

    ps:


    Four more today!


    As a live reporter on TV 1, Robert Mitterrand has always had a keen sense of smell. After learning the news about Harry Potter, he tried his best to persuade his boss to win an OB van. He had a hunch. Ryan Jenkins is likely to make big moves today.


    Although the other party does not have British nationality, the vast majority of the British public regard him as their own. Since the death of Princess Diana, he is definitely the most eye-catching public figure in the UK. Newspapers related to him are published and sold. It will always be a lot higher than usual.


    The only pity is that the other party is too busy, so busy that he rarely visits his second hometown, London.


    Just five minutes ago, the handsome bodyguard suddenly came out and announced that, in view of the concerns of the press, a small press conference would be held in the front court of the villa, the content of which was related to Harry Potter.


    As the TV station stood behind, and the TV station was affiliated with Ryan Jenkins¡¯s partner News Corp. Robert Mitterrand was invited at the first time, unlike other reporters in the industry, for a few representatives. The quota was almost broken.


    "Mr. Mitterrand, the phone is connected." His assistant handed over the mobile phone.


    After answering the mobile phone, Robert Mitterrand greeted him in the most concise way, and said almost in a roaring way, "Coles, I hope that the station can immediately interrupt the news transmitted from my side. What? No? Maybe? The program schedule is very tight? I don''t care about it, I want my interview to be broadcast live immediately! Do you know who I interviewed?"


    "Robert, I think you should understand that even if you are standing at Buckingham Palace and the subject of the interview is Her Majesty the Queen or the Crown Prince, it is impossible for me to change the program at will." The voice coming from the phone contains the British inherent. Rigid.


    "Asshole, Coles, Ryan Jenkins is about to hold a press conference! We want to grab the time to be the first to report!"


    "What?" The voice on the other side obviously didn''t have the stubbornness just now.


    "Those rumors about Harry Potter should be true. Ryan Jenkins is about to hold a press conference and is likely to announce the adaptation of the film! Do you understand? That is Ryan Jenkins and his "Harry "Porter"! That is a novel that has sold more than 300 million copies worldwide!"


    "Wait a minute, I... I''ll contact you right away? How many minutes are there to start?"


    "ten minutes!"


    "I promise! Ten minutes backstage will definitely appear on your side!" The stereotype in the voice disappeared without a trace.


    Hanging up, Robert Mitterrand told his team to check the equipment immediately. We must show the rigorous attitude we used to broadcast the princess''s funeral last year to deal with this small press conference.


    After Mitterrand checked the work of his subordinates, regardless of the print media reporters who were still competing for the spot, he stared at the door of the villa, anxiously waiting for the moment it opened.


    As a reporter who is biased towards entertainment, he knows a lot about the owner of this villa. He understands that with his and his work in the eyes of the British people, he can easily grab a lot of attention, not to mention this is about Kazakhstan. News of the adaptation of the Lee Potter series of novels into movies.


    This is the most successful all-age novel in the world. It is still the most representative work after the British Empire entered the 1990s, and the British have waited too long for it to become a movie.


    Now that we have the exact news, the only regret is, why is Ryan Jenkins not an Englishman?


    "Don''t you think your decision is a bit sudden?" Taylor sat on the sofa in the living room of the villa. Looking at Ryan curiously, she knew very well that before coming to England, her good brother had no plans for Harry Potter at all.


    "My dear, this is an opportunity." Ryan had changed into a formal suit and said through the window looking at the busy staff in the garden. "Since the British media are willing to advertise for us for free, why should we reject their kindness?"


    "No wonder Nat always said that you are more like a businessman." The little guy wrinkled his nose.


    "Okay, dear." Ryan walked over and rubbed her blonde hair. "Stay quietly here. I''ll be back soon."


    Sitting at the small table in the villa. Ryan raised his hand to signal to be quiet, and waited for more than a dozen reporters to sit around other tables and let the staff serve coffee. All reporters from the influential media could come in, except for a few photographers. There are also large-scale camera equipment painted with marks, also erected.


    A reporter named Robert Mitterrand sent a few words through George, and Ryan nodded slightly to him, quietly waiting for the TV station staff to complete preparations for the live broadcast.


    Ryan is not in a hurry, but the reporters at the scene understand that it is useless if they are anxious. They have already come in anyway, and it is just the difference between early and late. Why should you be a villain? If you get kicked out, you will lose more than you gain.


    What''s more, what they are tasting is the authentic blue mountain coffee and Lapsang Souchong black tea.


    "I invited you here today to have some face-to-face communication. We don''t need to divide interviews and interviewees. Everyone is like old friends. It''s good for afternoon tea chat."


    Ryan spoke slowly. The reporter who can enter here will naturally not be a paparazzi. His words instantly narrowed the distance between the two sides, "Everyone knows that I used to be here..."


    He pointed to the villa at the back and said nonsense that he didn¡¯t even believe him, ¡°I have lived here for more than two years and have different feelings for this city. I don¡¯t have this special experience or the original British culture. It¡¯s impossible to have the entire Harry Potter series..."


    These words made the British in the field feel bright. In the past, when they created miracles for novels like Harry Potter with a strong British style, they were unavoidable because the author is not an authentic. The British are entangled.


    "Ryan, can you give me some definite news, are you planning to put the Harry Potter series on the big screen?" Maybe the relaxed atmosphere in the court has infected everyone, or maybe Ryan''s very affinity On the one hand, these reporters are obviously less sharp.


    "Actually, I''ve been planning this work since the day the novel ended." Ryan raised a teacup to the reporter, who smiled embarrassedly and continued to ask, "It is convenient to reveal the specific timetable. ?"


    "Let''s put it this way." Ryan put the teacup on the table, "After "Titanic" and "Jurassic Park 2", everyone should be able to see that the film post-production technology has changed dramatically. I think the conditions are ripe for making Harry Potter movies."


    Hearing what he said, these reporters couldn''t help being shocked.


    "If all goes well, the crew will be formally established early next year, and then an audition will be held for the roles including Harry and Hermione, plus shooting and post-production. I expect the first episode of the movie "Harry Potter" "And the Philosopher''s Stone" will be filmed as early as the end of 2000 or early 2001."


    After making the decision, Ryan considered a lot of issues in a short period of time, and also revealed some ideas in a planned way.


    "Will the filming location be chosen in the UK? Will all British actors be used as stated in the newspaper?" Robert Mitterrand asked everyone the most concerned question.


    "In my plan, the UK is definitely the first choice. Otherwise, with so many landmarks, just making the scenery would be a huge expense."


    Ryan''s smile, like sunlight, infected everyone, causing continuous laughter in the audience.


    He continued, "In terms of actors, my plan is to use British or Irish actors as much as possible, as the newspaper says. Can you imagine Dumbledore and Voldemort with a Mississippi accent or a Texas accent? "


    Before the reporters were happy, Ryan''s words suddenly turned, "But these are just first choices..."


    "Why?" Someone was surprised.


    "In the shooting, a large number of underage actors will be used. I think you may not know much about the "Children¡¯s Labor Law" in the United Kingdom. There are extremely strict regulations on the shooting time of child actors. If you follow the requirements of this law Even after five years, it will be difficult for everyone to see the Harry Potter series of movies."


    Ryan''s plan is very simple. Let these media blow the air first, and then let his public relations team lobby the House of Commons. This should be easier.


    "What if the House of Commons is willing to amend the relevant regulations?" These reporters said very loudly.


    "Then everyone will see the crew and related auditions of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" in London early next year." Ryan said vowedly.


    Those reporters quickly figured out how to write related reports on . Few people who can sit here are fools. Ryan did not hide his intentions much, but they planned to follow him. Do it vaguely.


    As for why? This is the Harry Potter series that made a sensation in the entire Western world.


    At that time, the crew will definitely become the center of the entire entertainment industry. As long as they enter the UK, how many hype opportunities will they bring to them? How many headlines did it bring? How much related benefit does it bring?


    For a long time, they don''t have to worry about headlines anymore.


    Accompanied by the live broadcast signal from the TV station, this small news conference spread to the UK and even the entire Western world. With the subsequent hype of various media, the Harry Potter series whirlwind was blown again.


    The most excited are naturally the British, and the most excited of the British are the children around ten years old. Since they will choose to play the roles of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger in the UK then, how about that? Doesn''t it mean that they also have a chance?


    These are all future things. When Ryan returned to the living room of the villa, the first thing he saw was a pair of innocent sapphire blue eyes. ()

 Chapter 341： Smart is not a privilege

    "Ryan, do you really plan to use all British actors?" After Ryan sat next to him, Taylor asked with wide eyes, "Including Hermione Granger?"


    "There is such a plan." Ryan nodded, a little strange, "Is there something wrong?"


    "Don''t you think I am a good fit for Miss Jack of All Trades?" Taylor leaned forward with a grin.


    "You?" Ryan flicked on her little head, and the little girl clutched her forehead and muttered, "It hurts, it makes me stupid!"


    "Aren''t you not interested in acting?" Ryan was willing to play her hard, and ignored Taylor''s complaints.


    "I''m not interested in other characters, but this is a character you created. You don''t know. I like Hermione Granger very much." Taylor didn''t seem to be joking.


    "What about your future singing career?" Ryan reminded, "This series of films will make at least seven films, and it will probably last ten years. These ten years are the most important ten years of your growth. Are you really willing to give up singing? "


    "I can take care of both. Didn''t you do very well before?" Although she said that, she still had hesitation in her tone.


    "My dear, human energy is limited. Didn''t I finally give up my career in music and put all my energy into movies?"


    In this day and age, Barbra Streisand cannot be replicated. It doesn''t matter if she played a ticket when she was a child, but after a long period of time, she wanted to go hand in hand, almost impossible.


    "But... I''m smart enough, don''t you admit that I am a genius?" Tyler took out what he had said before.


    "Alison, you have to know that being smart is a gift, not a privilege." Ryan believed that with the little guy''s IQ, he would definitely be able to understand what he said.


    "All right." The little guy nodded and said regretfully, "I don''t know which lucky little girl will be cheaper."


    Ryan is not just thinking about Taylor''s future. It is also for the movie. If Taylor¡¯s wish is fulfilled, then after 2005, Miss Know-How, who is close to 6 feet tall, appeared on the big screen with a magic wand. It was a disaster.


    As for acting, the minimum requirement for this role is acting.


    From the second day on, the media was flooded with news about Harry Potter. More and more reporters and paparazzi gathered outside the villa, and many book fans also came here, not only blocking the road in front of the villa, Even the nearby Kensington Park was full.


    The situation here quickly spread back to North America. It is now in the off-season of the movie, and it instantly attracted the attention of the national media, and they didn''t care if some of the words came from Ryan. They dismissed the British media''s view that "from location to actors must choose the UK", thinking that only a mature Hollywood system can turn novels into excellent movies.


    For this reason, the media on both sides of the Atlantic also caused a small dispute, but Ryan simply ignored these. This kind of hype is more conducive to publicity.


    No matter which side he prefers, it will bring negative effects, or it is best to keep silent.


    The London residence has become a vegetable market, Ryan has almost become the center of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and every move can attract countless attentions, and it is no longer suitable for going out. After staying here for two days. Simply returned to Los Angeles.


    "This trip was terrible and couldn''t be worse." This is what the little girl complained after the plane left the British coastline.


    After Ryan took her out of Los Angeles International Airport, they were still greeted by hundreds of reporters. The crowded scene caused the little girl to directly cover her head with George''s coat and never show up again.


    The North American media does not have the strong Harry Potter plot of the British media. Their goal is also not in this regard, compared to this, Blizzard Entertainment just listed last week is the focus of their concern.


    "Ryan, Blizzard Entertainment''s stock price has been rising rapidly since it went public. What''s your opinion on this?"


    "Can you tell me the number of wealth you have?"


    "How did you complete this magical acquisition in the first place?"


    "I heard that a large group from France has sent you an application for a purchase involving nearly 4 billion U.S. dollars. Is it true?"


    Although Ryan remained silent, the questions of these guys were thrown over as if they don''t need money, and a radius of hundreds of feet buzzed like ten billion flies.


    Seeing the reporters desperately squeezing around, Ryan understood that without saying a few words, these guys would definitely not let him go easily. He immediately made a downward gesture. The reporter saw that he was about to speak, and immediately fell silent.


    "Frankly speaking, I don¡¯t know much about the game industry. The acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment¡¯s predecessor game studio only accepted the advice of my investment team. They were very optimistic about this company. right now."


    Whether the reporter believes it or not, what Ryan said is the truth, "Apart from providing some funds, I didn''t play any role. Blizzard has today''s success, and its management has done the most. That''s it."


    On the car home, Taylor stared at Ryan, blinking his royal blue eyes, and after a long time, he asked curiously.


    "Ryan, are you richer than before?"


    "Um...you can say so." Although they are all shares that cannot be realized immediately.


    "How much? Three billion dollars? Five billion dollars?" The little guy continued to ask.


    "Honey, do you know how much three billion and five billion are?" Ryan rubbed her blonde hair.


    "This..." the little girl frowned. After a while, she waved her small hand and said dazedly, "Anyway, it''s a lot."


    "Go ahead, what gift do you want?" How could Ryan not understand her thoughts.


    "Aircraft, I want an airplane of my own, or that kind of big airplane!" Taylor was not at all polite.


    "Yes, but not now." Ryan shook her finger at her. "When you are sixteen, I will definitely send you a big plane."


    "no sooner said than done?"


    "no sooner said than done."


    "Wow~" Taylor jumped out of his seat excitedly and shouted, "Why is it not my sixteenth birthday today!"


    When sending Taylor home, Ryan got the latest information about Blizzard Entertainment prepared by Scott. Although Scott himself was on Wall Street, dealing with some follow-up matters, the thick information was enough to let Ryan know the details. Case.


    When he went to Europe, after several years of hard work, Blizzard Entertainment finally landed on Nasdaq. Just like Pixar Studios back then, in less than a week, its stock price continued to rise, and its market value increased enough. One-fifth of them suddenly became one of the most popular star stocks.


    Blizzard Entertainment, unlike most popular IT stocks, is backed by solid performance.


    In January of this year, Blizzard Entertainment officially launched the real-time strategy game "StarCraft". In just one month, the sales of this game exceeded 3 million copies. So far, it has become the world''s most sold computer game in one fell swoop.


    In addition, the long-launched "Warcraft 2" and "Diablo" did not show any signs of weakness and still created a lot of revenue.


    And after the successful listing, Blizzard Entertainment¡¯s management immediately announced that the production of "Diablo 2" and "Warcraft 3" has been put on the agenda, and these two sequels will come out at the beginning of the new century.


    The most direct effect of all this is the rise in stock prices. Not to mention Ryan, a major shareholder with absolute controlling rights. On the day of listing, Blizzard Entertainment¡¯s management had more than a dozen millionaires. This founder has become a multimillionaire.


    No wonder journalists are so crazy. In this world, at this age, how many people can get billions of dollars in wealth without inheriting inheritance?


    What''s more, this person is still a person who grew up under the watch of the whole world, and has the identity of a Hollywood star.


    It is precisely this star status that many media and reporters have made a lot of worrying remarks.


    "Due to well-known reasons, we cannot know exactly how much Ryan''s net worth is, but the most conservative estimate should not be less than four billion U.S. dollars. He is definitely the richest person under the age of twenty in the world. Of course. These wealth are all earned by Ryan through his own mind and hard work, using legitimate and legal means. We will be envious and jealous, but more are blessings. I wish him farther and farther on the road to success."


    "Such a huge wealth makes us a little worried. After all, no one can ask such a wealthy person to continue his career. We are worried that Ryan will abandon his role as an actor and completely turn to the background. Does he still have the motivation to continue his career? ?"


    Such a view is not only the position of many media, UU Reading www. A large number of uukanshu.com fans are also worried. They crowded to leave messages on Ryan''s personal website, hoping that wealth will not let Ryan give up his career.


    Ryan couldn''t help laughing or crying when he heard the news, as if he had never said anything to end his career, right? He never gave up his actor status.


    Perhaps the reasons for entering this circle at the beginning were very complicated, but these years have passed, playing various roles, leaving indelible traces in the classic movies of the past life, has long become one of Ryan¡¯s greatest pleasures. Otherwise, he will not throw away his most talented music career.


    Besides, money can make him more free in Hollywood. After the age of sixteen, he appeared in all films he invested in, and he also served as a producer. There are no rules in the circle, whether on the surface or in the dark. People dare to impose on him, and even his friends have hardly encountered any deliberate difficulties.


    These capitals are the biggest barrier used by Ryan to protect those who want to protect, as well as the biggest weapon for overwhelming those who dare to attack him and his friends.


    Not to mention anything else, after his vague warning, Rick Solomon, who was also in the entertainment industry, never looked for Paris Hilton again. ()

 Chapter 342： Director and starring

    Sitting in front of the computer in the study room, Ryan browsed the personal website linked to the Yahoo homepage. Although this website has been established for several years and is also the largest gathering place for his fans on the Internet, he does not leave many messages in person. Most of the time, the website is managed by Jinsli''s management team.


    The worrying remarks in the paper media made many people worry about it. The most direct response was to leave a message on Ryan''s personal website, and some even called for a rally to be retained and not let him hide behind the scenes.


    Looking at the messages on the website, Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head. He had never planned to quit Hollywood, at least not in a short period of time.


    "Ryan, if you don''t appear in movies anymore, we will jump off the Brooklyn Bridge." This message comes from a girl organization that once streaked on Fifth Avenue.


    "Ryan, don¡¯t turn to the background. Please understand the feelings of our supporters. We are the ones who watched you grow up. You are our god¡¯s pillar. No matter what you become in the future, as long as you still stand in front of the scene. , We will fully support you. You are our faith." After this message, there were countless voices of support.


    "Ryan never said that he would quit. Don''t forget that this is just a unilateral statement from the newspapers. This is just their guess. I believe that Ryan will respond to the matter." There are also many reasonable people.


    "Where''s Ryan? Please give an answer if you see it, let us rest assured..."


    "Yes, now those media say so sure, you always have to respond, right?"


    "Call Ryan, no answer from the brokerage team..."


    At the beginning, there was only one tabloid that published the comments that he might quit, but the current newspaper quickly sold out after it went on the market and had to be printed. Other tabloids immediately discovered that this was a good opportunity for hype and published related reports. The sure tone was like getting Ryan''s personal guarantee.


    Ryan has never responded to this, and the fan community can''t help but feel a little worried.


    After browsing the message board roughly, Ryan put his hands on the keyboard and quickly typed out a short message.


    "I never planned to leave Hollywood, leave the big screen, or even say relevant remarks. When will the tabloids be credible? It seems that I should send them a lawyer''s letter. I understand everyone''s concerns, and I understand that. Over the years we have gone through the feelings hand in hand, you have never given up on me, and I will not give up on you, you are the driving force of my efforts. Turning to behind the scenes is entirely a unilateral idea of ??the media. While I am an actor, I have been serving as a fairly qualified producer, so why give up my role as an actor?"


    "I will reveal some news in advance. In the next few years, I have a specific filming plan. This year''s new work "Remains of a Deserted Island" will be replayed as soon as the first trailer, and the schedule is also set for the Thanksgiving Christmas file. The film being shot has also been officially approved, so everyone can rest assured."


    After Ryan personally updated his personal website, all kinds of hype and speculation disappeared. This is not the time when the traditional media is calling for trouble. The timeliness of the Internet is stronger, and this is a statement issued on his personal website, which is more than any media. Responsibility reports must be reliable.


    The next day, after getting Ryan''s permission, the Los Angeles Times and The Hollywood Reporter reprinted his messages. While all fan groups were completely relieved, they couldn''t help but focus on the last few sentences of the statement.


    It¡¯s not news that "Legend of the Deserted Island" will be released soon. Although the trailer has not been released, the commercial has already been released. And Ryan''s new movie next year has been officially approved? What is the subject matter? Where to shoot? What is the specific content?


    At this time, North American entertainment reporters began to jump up and down again, from Jenkins Manor to Jenkins Pictures, from the University of Southern California to the clubs that Ryan often visits. They can be seen everywhere. These guys seem to be determined to Dig up new movies that are still in the secret stage.


    Anyone well-informed, noticed the pie? A script about the gladiators of the Roman Empire that Jinsli preached some time ago couldn''t help but focus on this.


    However, just when they speculated that this might be the movie that Ryan will star in next year, the French newspaper Le Figaro revealed the news of the explosion in a prominent position.


    It was a blurry picture, obviously from the police. Although the picture was not very clear, it was still possible to distinguish between the two men sitting at the other table. One of them was Ryan and the other was about fifty or sixty. Old man.


    Perhaps some people would be unfamiliar with the latter, but the reporter who ran the entertainment instantly recognized that the other party was Roman? Polanski.


    Many people know that Ryan went to Europe some time ago. According to the British media, he was going to investigate the feasibility of Harry Potter''s shooting in the UK. Who knew that when he was in Paris, he met with Roman in private? Polanski.


    Why do these two people whose status, status and reputation are so different from each other at this time? Roman? Polanski has always been a wanted criminal in the US Department of Justice.


    Or does Ryan want to invite him to direct a new film? The problem is that the styles of the two people are completely inconsistent. One focuses on business, and the other works cold and dark...


    The report published below the picture answers everyone''s doubts. The person in the photo is the owner and waiter of this cafe. They vaguely heard some conversations between the two people when they passed by.


    "The two gentlemen who broke the news revealed to us that Ryan and Polanski mentioned the names of pianist and Spearman many times in their conversations. When the two finally separated, they both showed their satisfaction. , Obviously reached a consensus."


    "According to our guess, Roman? Polanski agreed to Ryan? Jenkins directed a movie about a pianist or Spearman. What is this movie? We checked a lot of information and consulted the film industry and Veterans in the literary world quickly found the answer."


    "The only thing that can connect the two is the autobiographical novel "Dead City" by the Polish pianist Varadisrow? Spearman. Think about Roman? Polanski''s experience of escaping from a Nazi concentration camp, and the novel With the response of the medium, plus Ryan came to France from North America to invite Polanski, the answer is very obvious."


    "Ryan? Jenkins intends to adapt this autobiographical novel into a movie, and the chosen director is Roman Polanski. For this, we made a special trip to find the elderly Mr. Spearman, who confirmed the adaptation of the autobiographical novel. The rights are indeed handed over to Jenkins Pictures."


    "According to the words of the two gentlemen who broke the news and our bold speculation, Ryan? Jenkins is very likely to appear in Mr. Spearman himself..."


    Just as the news spread back to North America, Jenkins Pictures held a press conference for the first time, announcing that it was based on the Polish pianist Valladyslo? Mr. Spearman¡¯s autobiographical novel "Dead City", and the adaptation of the large-scale movie "The Pianist" was officially established. The director is Roman? Polanski, Ryan will personally star in Varadisro? Spearman chose Poland as his location.


    Although Polanski''s return to the attention of the American public has caused many tabloids to once again hype up the *** case of the year, the mainstream media has focused on the subject of the movie-Jewish ***!


    They quickly came to a conclusion, given the real experience, no one is better than Roman? Polanski is more suitable to direct this film, and Ryan invited him to be the director, which is definitely a wise choice.


    You know, Spielberg''s director candidate for "Schindler''s List" was Roman? Polanski visited several times for this.


    As for Polanski''s disgraceful experience, even if it is a tabloid upset, Hollywood will not care. In the eyes of these industry insiders, the standard for measuring directors and actors will never be moral quality.


    The leading role of Ryan has caused a lot of disputes, the most important of which is his age.


    "As we all know, in the face of more and more seductive makeup and post-production techniques, being too young and handsome is only a minor problem. But don¡¯t forget, even when the film starts, Ryan? Jenkins is only nineteen. Years old, how much life can I have at this age? How much understanding can I have about that period of history? What''s more, the script was written by him himself. Such a rigorous subject matter might be rewritten by him into a movie with a strong commercial atmosphere. In view of the special subject matter, we recommend that Jenkins Pictures replace it with a mature Jewish actor."


    This is the view from "America Today". They have always been relatively neutral, and their suggestions are fairly pertinent, but they cannot affect any decision of Ryan.


    The media that supported Ryan made the opposite comments as soon as possible After Jenkins Pictures announced the establishment of the film, I found the original novel as soon as possible. This is indeed a special theme. Under normal circumstances, it is indeed not suitable for a 19-year-old young man to play. But please don¡¯t forget, it¡¯s not an ordinary 19-year-old actor who will star in this movie! How many achievements he has achieved now, don''t we need to list them one by one, right? "


    "There are also important points. In 1992, Ryan appeared in Spielberg''s "Schindler''s List". He knew enough about that period of history and even saved him from the remnants of the Nazis. Miss Natalie Portman, as far as we know, Ryan has been donating money to the Great ** Memorial Hall in Jerusalem over the years. This year he also made a special trip to visit the Avenue of the Righteous People and related memorial halls. I believe he must be prepared. ."


    "Finally, after the release of "Schindler''s List", Ryan used to call for''I urgently ask you to watch this movie'' as a Jewish descent. These all illustrate his history of suffering to his own ethnic group. , Has enough understanding."


    As if to respond to the voice of suspicion, and as if for the report on the Los Angeles Times, Jenkins Pictures released a trailer for "Leaves of a Deserted Island", as if to use iron facts to prove whether Ryan can Deduct a mature enough angle se. (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 343： Old couple

    This two-minute trailer focuses on the life of the protagonist Chuck who lives in front of the deserted island. Although there is only a monologue when facing volleyball Wilson on the deserted island, the angle se brings too much. Things, especially the starring Ryan, whether it''s the character se in "Cat and Mouse" and "Titanic", or James in the highly praised "Saving Private Ryan"? Ryan has a distinctive feature, all with youthfulness.


    However, Ryan in the trailer, all the youthfulness disappeared completely, is a mature actor who is close to 30 years old. Looking at the temperament shown alone, it really makes people wonder if this is another person. Especially in the dialogue with Volleyball Wilson, with unique words and temperament, a supporting actor who can''t speak and change expressions is brought to life.


    "Even though the trailer is only two minutes, Ryan shows a completely different self in it, showing a mature male protagonist, if he can show this level in the whole movie "Leaves of the Desert" , His acting career will usher in a major change, because it represents a breakthrough in his original image and way of acting when he grows up."


    "Perhaps we are really wrong. We shouldn''t use the standard of measuring ordinary people to measure a super genius. Maybe some people don''t have to experience too much and will have a unique perception of the world. Maybe Ryan? Jenkins can really Play the role of Mr. Spearman."


    Probably in those two minutes of footage, Ryan showed a completely different image from the past, or perhaps his mature temperament, which impressed these so-called professionals, and "America Today" very happily retracted his previous remarks.


    Although it is impossible to fully see the quality of the movie or the role in just two minutes, many media and film critics still can¡¯t wait to comment. After all, this is Ryan¡¯s latest work, even if they close their eyes and write scribbles. , Can also attract a lot of attention.


    Among them, the vast majority are voices of praise, believing that as long as Ryan can maintain the level of acting in the trailer throughout the movie, a breakthrough in acting can be achieved.


    As for the relatively old-fashioned subject of modern Robinson, the media tacitly put it aside. Perhaps for others, this clich¨¦d subject matter would be a disaster at the box office, but when did Ryan fail in a new bottle of old wine? After all, no media is a fool. It is enough to slap yourself a few times.


    Besides, when the movie really encounters Waterloo, there will be no less ridicules. The question is, will Ryan give them a chance?


    Although the young female fans can''t help complaining about the dress of the nearly middle-aged uncle in the movie, Ryan''s fans showed enough unity at this time. The heads of several large fan organizations have left messages on the Internet, saying ''No matter what the subject of Ryan''s filming, what kind of image the angle se is, they will fully support''.


    Even, the female fan organization from the Upper East Side, in an interview with the TV station, directly chanted, "They are packed at the box office in New York State."


    The new gratitude¡ªChristmas¡ªNew Year¡¯s file is coming. Several films produced by Jenkins, including "Life on a Deserted Island", have all entered the most critical period of publicity. Large sums of U.S. dollars flowed out of the account and entered the tradition. Among the paper and TV broadcast media of China, even the emerging network media are no exception.


    On Ryan''s personal website, trailers and release dates of several movies have been hung up early.


    The only pity is that with the current computer hardware and software and network technology, video sites are far from flourishing, otherwise it would be nice to find someone to play with them.


    Professional matters are delegated to professional people. This has always been one of the principles that Ryan adheres to. He only needs to grasp the overall direction.


    In addition to the movies produced by Jenkins Pictures, there is another movie that has attracted much attention. It is the "Blade Warrior" produced by Marvel Pictures, which was established in recent years. This is the first time Marvel comics heroes have appeared on the big screen. , Its success or failure will determine the next plan of the entire Marvel Comics.


    After entering mid-October, Ryan accepted the invitation of Time Warner sensible Bix to participate in a reception held by Warner in the Los Angeles area.


    Unexpectedly, he met a woman here who was both expected and unexpected.


    "Ryan, this is Wendy? Deng, my most capable assistant."


    In the Hilton Grand Ballroom, Rupert? Murdoch is introducing Ryan to his female companion.


    "Hello, Miss Deng."


    Although Murdoch is talking about his own assistant, no one in the upper class knows that the other party has become his public sex.


    As far as Ryan got the news, as early as April this year, Murdoch and his wife Anna announced through the media that they had decided to end their 31-year marriage. At the board of directors in early October, Anna suddenly received a eviction order from her husband. She left the group board.


    At this point, he, a fellow in his previous life, has completely stepped into the sight of the upper class.


    Although Murdoch chose her with a variety of thoughts, especially to enter the media industry on the other side of the Pacific, Deng Wendi''s methods are also very clever. Since April, she has accompanied Murdoch and attended one after another. The banquet successfully entered the mainstream society of the United States.


    A long time ago, when the "New York Post" attacked him, Ryan also thought that one day, in front of these two people, chanted "a pear blossom presses a begonia", but now News Corporation has become a good partner for the time being. This kind of thought can only be thrown behind his head.


    **Determine the position of the head, interests determine the relationship between the two parties, Ryan has always upheld this.


    However, even if he really said that sentence to Wendi Deng, with this woman¡¯s personality, I¡¯m afraid he would only pretend not to hear. This woman who has relied on men to climb from Guangzhou onwards, has a lively mind and deep thoughts, I¡¯m afraid Nicole and Natalie can be compared with each other.


    Of course, with the current close cooperation relationship with Twentieth Century Fox and News Corp., Ryan will not be stupid enough to take the initiative to provoke.


    "I haven''t congratulated you yet, Ryan." Murdoch took two glasses of red wine from the waiter and handed it to his female partner, and said, "Blizzard Entertainment and Pixar Studios are really unexpected, too. It''s enviable."


    "It''s just luck." Ryan raised his glasses to the two of them.


    "What about Blue Sky Studio?" Murdoch took a sip of the red wine and tentatively said, "How about transferring your shares in Blue Sky Studio to me? You know, 20th Century Fox is lacking a strong enough animation department. , The price is easy to say."


    "You are too greedy, Rupert." Ryan shook his head slowly and firmly, and suddenly proposed, "Blue Sky Studios is making an animated feature film and lacks a strong enough distributor, if 20th Century Fox is interested. ..."


    "That''s it." Murdoch touched his glass first.


    "Well, happy cooperation." Ryan drank the juice in his glass.


    Staring at the distant figure, Murdoch solemnly said, "Anything about him must be handled by me as soon as possible. Also, in front of him, put away the extra thoughts and keep enough for him. Respect."


    The women next to him stared at the figures in the crowd, just nodding their heads mechanically. Wendi Deng was smart enough to know that the old man around him was a giant, while the young people over there had unlimited potential and had such achievements at this age. , Really...


    While greeting the acquaintances in the banquet hall, Ryan thought about Murdoch and Wendi Deng. Old and young wives are extremely common in the rich circle. Even those who maintain the relationship between husband and wife, how many men are still outside? Is there no such thing as a confidante?


    In his previous life, what he heard and saw was only rumors. In this life, he squeezed into this circle and naturally saw some practical situations. For example, Li¡¯s classmates seemed to have many confidantes, and Jobs even had illegitimate daughters, and there were old hearts. The immortal Redstone, and Donald who reached an agreement with his daughter to make a woman? Trump...


    Even if the feminist movement becomes more vigorous, in essence, this is still a patriarchal society.


    Well, these are none of your business. Ryan shook his head, and dissipated all his brainstorming.


    "Mr. Jenkins."


    A staff member who was obviously Warner walked up to Ryan and said in a low voice, "Mr. Beeks wants to invite you to the lounge for a drink."


    "Bix?"


    Ryan followed his gaze and saw the executive director of Warner standing not far away, and raised his glass to him.


    "Yes it is."


    After Ryan nodded, the man made a please gesture and walked ahead to lead the way.


    It seems that a good show is about to take the stage Ryan knows very well that Warner invited him over, there must be something to talk about, and he happened to have fancy some things in Warner¡¯s hands, but he couldn¡¯t speak directly, after all. Speaking from his mouth and talking to the other party first, it has a completely different effect.


    Because of Jeffrey''s previous life? Bixie has been interviewed by leaders on the other side. Although Ryan is not as familiar with him as Gerald, he also knows something about him. This guy will become the chairman and chief executive officer of Time Warner in the future. Time Warner was dragged out of the quagmire of AOL mergers and acquisitions and is a very capable manager.


    When Ryan entered the lounge next to him, Bix had already been waiting here, and the two parties smiled and greeted each other and sat on the sofa.


    "Ryan, we are old friends." Jeffrey? Bix is ??a typical American businessman who speaks very straightforwardly, "The cooperation between Warner and Jenkins Pictures has always been very pleasant. Since the early 1990s, Warner has been seeking the right to adapt Harry Potter, even if it is a joint production, now finally Waiting for the day when you want to make Harry Potter into a movie."


    Among all the partners, Time Warner is the most positive towards Harry Potter. Ryan also knows that they will come to the door sooner or later. In fact, the partner he chose is also Warner. One can win-win, and second, Time Warner has What he wanted very much. (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 344： Try to change

    The Harry Potter series requires a huge budget to support the splendid post-production, and several series of films including "Lord of the Rings" that are being prepared or have already been produced need huge cash flow to support, even if it is a few Both series are co-produced.


    Such huge funds, let alone Ryan and Jenkins Pictures, even media giants such as Time Warner and Viacom, it is not easy to get it out in a short period of time.


    That¡¯s right, Ryan now has billions of dollars in wealth, but most of them are stocks and real estate. It is undoubtedly very difficult to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in movies in a short period of time. Moreover, he will most Liquidity has been thrown into the stock market. Now is the craziest time for IT stocks.


    Despite previous life experience, no one can guarantee that a film invested heavily in production will be 100% successful. If an accident occurs, the company under its name will be in danger of bankruptcy unless it sells its shares for cash. Come a series of adverse reactions.


    There are not a few people in Hollywood waiting for him to make a joke. Some enemies are still waiting in the dark, and they will take the opportunity to run out and take a bite at any time.


    Co-production is the best way to share risks and pressures and tie many partners together with interest. No matter who moves the cake, it will face the counterattack of many giants. Even if the federal government wants to do it, it must do it well. Think about it.


    The value created by the previous Harry Potter series absolutely exceeded tens of billions of dollars, or even more. Ryan doesn¡¯t mind accepting part of Warner¡¯s investment, but this is a business cooperation. If you want to get anything, you must pay the corresponding price. .


    This is one of the most basic rules in the market, and Time Warner has what he wants in his hands.


    "Ryan, Warner has great sincerity." Jeffrey Bix tried his best to ease his tone, as if he didn''t want Ryan to have any misunderstandings, "Time Warner can support you at any time. Any aspect."


    "Okay, Jeff." Ryan nodded. "I accept Time Warner''s investment. The old rules. You are stationed in financial supervision and must not interfere with the normal operation of the crew."


    "Our past cooperation has always been very pleasant, isn''t it?" Although it only accounts for a quarter of the investment, Jeffrey Bix is ??already very satisfied. Warner¡¯s investment team has already estimated it, if not Unexpectedly, this quarter of the investment. There will be huge gains in exchange.


    As for the risks? The person opposite him is definitely the guarantee for the greatest benefit from movies in the entire world, so there is no need to worry.


    "Jeff, I heard that Warner holds some Disney shares?" Ryan asked suddenly.


    "Yeah, not much." Jeffrey Bix knew it was time to pay the corresponding price at Warner. "I don''t think it''s a secret in Hollywood."


    Ryan slowly nodded. The top Hollywood groups hold each other''s shares to avoid too fierce vicious competition. It can be said that everyone in the circle knows. Although the shares held are limited, they have real stakes.


    "I bought two-thirds of Disney''s shares in your hands at a price 10% higher than the market price." Ryan slowly stated his purpose.


    "This needs to be discussed by the board of directors." Jeffrey Bix was obviously embarrassed. "The amount involved is too big, I have no way to call the shots."


    "That''s good. Please give me an answer as soon as possible." Ryan stood up.


    "Definitely." Jeffrey Beeks nodded solemnly.


    What a trouble!


    Walking towards the door, Ryan couldn''t help sighing that although the transaction involved not many shares, it was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This is also one of the reasons for his tight cash flow.


    As early as the 1980s, Time Warner held a small portion of Disney¡¯s shares if they were willing to transfer it. Ryan has close to 3% of voting shares in his hands. Throwing away those professional investment institutions and companies, he can be regarded as a relatively large individual shareholder.


    Ryan vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Walt Disney acquired Pixar Studios through cash and share swaps. Steve Jobs became the largest individual shareholder with just a few percent of the shares.


    Although with this share, Ryan is far from having a say on the Walt Disney Board of Directors, but since Michael Eisner does not want to reconcile, but keeps making small moves, then he is not willing to be passive, and is ready to give a copy. Give him a big gift.


    1999 is about to come. If it goes well, a large amount of funds will be returned. Many things such as equity are not unavailable. The main problem is the price. After returning from Europe, he has reached a consensus with the Jewish group on Wall Street. When necessary, he will give up enough benefits to obtain the support of the other party.


    As soon as he walked out of the lounge, Ryan met a character with a headache. Paris Hilton, who was wearing a pink evening dress, waved to him across the crowd, and brought a middle-aged man over.


    "Hello, Mr. Hilton." Ryan was very polite. Seeing the other''s frown, he quickly changed his name. "Uncle Richard, I didn''t expect to see you here."


    "Ryan, it''s been a long time."


    Because of Paris Hilton¡¯s relationship, the two parties had known each other as early as the early 1990s. Richard Hilton said nothing. He didn¡¯t think of the child star, but with his own efforts, he became one of them. I am in the same class, and I can''t help but feel a little bit emotional in his words.


    "When you were your age, Ryan, I was still a **** who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun." He turned his voice and looked at his daughter, "What kind of character Parli is, I am a father who knows very well. Since she wants to develop in Hollywood, please help me take care of it."


    Look after her? Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head a little. With the character of this pink fairy, he was still uncertain of what kind of farce would come out in the future.


    "Uncle Richard..."


    Without waiting for Ryan''s words to finish, Richard Hilton patted his arm lightly, "That''s it, Ryan, there are a few old friends in front of me. I have something to talk to them. When I''m free, I Will come to visit."


    Will human nature and essence change? If Ryan was asked to answer, it would definitely not be.


    Although he scared Rick Solomon away, only God knows whether the next one will appear, and her playful character is enough to cause a lot of trouble.


    "Don''t look at me with such eyes, I admit that sometimes I do things without sufficient consideration, but it is much less trouble than the little guy next to you."


    Obviously, Paris Hilton noticed Ryan''s strange eyes.


    "Little guy? Which little guy?" Ryan couldn''t help being curious.


    "Taylor Swift."


    Hearing the words popping out of the other party¡¯s mouth, Ryan quickly recalled it, as if it were true. Whether in school or in the company, the blond curly hair can only be described as lawless, even the Stewart¡¯s tomboy is about to be She was broken.


    "Just listen to what Dad said, don''t worry about it, I''m not a kid like Tyler, I can take care of myself." Paris Hilton took the initiative to take Ryan''s arm and turned towards the corner of the banquet hall. Walked, "Do you still need to socialize? Let''s find a place to rest for a while."


    Sitting at the corner table, Ryan looked her up and down and asked, "Didn''t you go back to school in New York?"


    This kind of banquet will invite Richard Hilton, but this pink fairy is definitely not within the owner''s consideration.


    "I asked for leave from school. The screenwriter summoned by Drew has completed the first draft of the script. I need to have enough time to study the character." She smiled suddenly, waved her hands and said, "Don''t worry, I donate it to With a lot of money from school, graduation is not a problem."


    "I learned this from you." She added.


    "Where did you... where did the money come from?" Ryan still remembers that when she first met, this guy had just got his pocket money of a few hundred dollars, and it would take two hours at most to be clean, and she is now She hasn''t grown up yet, and the property that belongs to her can''t be in her hands.


    "I borrowed it." Paris Hilton counted with his fingers, "Drew lent me 300,000 dollars, Nat lent me 200,000 dollars, Scarlett lent 50,000 dollars, and then Plus I got it from someone else, I put together a million dollars and donated it to the school."


    "Nate will lend you money?" Ryan was very strange, but Natalie didn''t like this guy at all.


    "I know Nat doesn''t like my character very much, but we can be regarded as friends who have known each other for almost ten years..."


    Under Ryan''s scorching gaze, Paris Hilton had to stick out her tongue and told the truth, "Scarlett helped me speak."


    She seemed to accumulate a lot of words, "Ryan, is that "Thunderbolt Angel" really hot? Can I really become popular with this? I heard Drew say, those three months..."


    "Kungfu training." Ryan reminded.


    "Yes, kung fu training will be very hard. If I can''t hold on, can I..."


    "No!" Ryan interrupted her without hesitation. "If you can''t hold on, I''ll change and ask George to send you back to New York and tell your father that you are not suitable for this business."


    Ryan doesn¡¯t want to train and shoot This daughter always makes trouble for the crew. With her identity and surname, as long as the shooting is completed, she is more attractive than the former Miss Lucy. , Maybe it can pull a big chunk of the box office.


    Ken promised her to play, Ryan naturally considered many factors.


    "Ryan, we are friends..."


    "Parlie, friendship is friendship, business is business." Ryan knuckles, slowly tapping on the table, "We haven''t signed a contract yet, and it''s not too late for you to quit now..."


    "Who said I want to quit!" Paris? Hilton lay pitifully on the table, "I just want some special treatment."


    "Drew is the person in charge of the crew, I will tell her..."


    Ryan suddenly thought that hard training is a good way to strengthen people''s will. Now that he has intervened in this fairy''s life, why not continue to try to make some changes?


    "My dear, trust me, you will definitely enjoy those three months of training." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 345： Queensland Farm

    Some people, such as Paris Hilton, can easily become Hollywood''s darlings without too much effort or even having their own works.


    When Flower Pictures announced that the little princess of the Hilton family would be one of the three leading actors to participate in the filming of the film "Angels of Thunder" adapted from "Charlie''s Angels", the film that had just been established, and her, immediately Become the focus of the entire entertainment circle.


    And some people, as long as they have the right works and roles, will soar into the sky and enter the ranks of Hollywood''s first-line superstars. Leonardo DiCaprio is just such a person.


    Because of the loss of "Titanic", Xiao Li in this world is at best a second-tier star. Strictly speaking, he can be classified into the category of literary youth. However, after "Mission Impossible" was released a week before Thanksgiving, No one can stop him anymore.


    Although Ryan did not participate in the premiere because of coming to Australia, he still heard a lot of relevant information on the phone, and Xiao Li''s entry into the ranks of superstars through this movie can also prove a universal law in Hollywood¡ª¡ª It is always the role that makes the actor, not the actor who makes the role.


    A small motorcade left Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, and drove southward along the spacious and plain Airport Boulevard. Their goal was a farm estate more than forty miles away.


    In one of the Chevrolet SUVs, Ryan is looking at the newly faxed documents from Los Angeles to the plane, including the latest North American weekly box office rankings and some professional media reviews.


    Nicole''s eyes next to him, from time to time, fall on the not-so-thick documents, muttering dissatisfiedly, "My dear, we are here for vacation. Not for work."


    "It''s over soon." Ryan leaned over, kissed her forehead lightly, and said with a smile, "Good news. Nicole. "Mission Impossible" had a box office of over 45 million dollars in the first week. We will make a fortune again."


    "Your new friend''s movie?" Nicole grabbed the file unceremoniously. Looking through it, "It seems that Mr. DiCaprio should thank you very much. Let me think about how he would thank you? A rave party? Or invite you to enjoy the performance of the underwear model?"


    "Come on. Nicole." Ryan shook his head. "I''m not Leon. I''m not interested in models with long blond legs."


    "The script is too complicated and the actors'' acting skills are mediocre. The focus of the film on Leonardo alone is the biggest failure." Nicole looked at the faxed film review and shrugged playfully, "Your friend. It doesn''t seem to be very popular with film critics."


    In fact, just as Nicole said, Leonardo''s performance in the film, although recognized by a large number of fans, has been criticized by film critics. However, Xiao Li now enjoys the taste of becoming a big hit, and I hope that in the future, he will not turn himself into a blessed uncle again to win prizes.


    The manor that Ryan bought for Nicole is located not far from the Gold Coast. Although it was a little barren when it was transferred to him, it has a long history.


    This 6200-acre manor consists of two parts, an English-style building complex and a farm, including a super river channel for water transportation, a double river bank about ten miles long, and a small natural lake.


    Stables and racecourses that can be seen everywhere in Australia are standard equipment. A large vineyard and wine cellar are indispensable. Because of the relationship that Nicole doesn¡¯t like very much, the cattle and sheep have been moved away by the original owner long ago. After six months of meticulous care by the professional organization, the farm has become mainly for lavender planting and grass fodder for horse racing.


    According to estimates by the management staff of that professional organization stationed here, if properly managed, the farm can generate an annual income of 2 million Australian dollars or more.


    Whether it is Ryan or Nicole, they don''t care about this income. As long as the farm can maintain their own expenses, it is just a place for them to enjoy their vacation.


    "Wow, it really is a good place to relax."


    Nicole also invited her friend. The person who just jumped out of the car to talk was Judy Foster.


    "Annie, Judy, Kate, here."


    Nicole came here once with Taylor and others, calling her sister and girlfriend to walk towards the main building made of granite. Halfway through, she didn''t forget to turn around and say, "Ryan, the luggage will be handed over to you."


    With a reassuring gesture to Nicole, Ryan greeted the bodyguards and the staff of the farm, and carried huge suitcases into the main building, almost all of which were the luggage of a few ladies.


    Women travel, it''s like moving, especially wealthy women.


    Ryan sighed with emotion and entered the large living room of the main building. It happened that Nicole took the other three people to choose the room and walked down from the upper floor.


    "My dear, your room is on the third floor."


    "Ryan, don''t run to the second floor at night."


    Antonia Kidman blinked at him, then closed her mouth obediently under Nicole¡¯s eyes. Fortunately, Judy Foster and Cate Blanchett were looking at the ancient decoration of the dome of the living room. Did not notice here.


    "Ryan, you are such a big deal." Judy Foster stood in front of the large window in the living room, looking into the distance, only to see a purple ocean of lavender. "How much did this manor cost? Tens of millions of dollars. ?"


    "It''s not much money." Ryan smiled casually. As long as Nicole is happy, what the money does, he finds out his luggage and walks upstairs, "Sit down, I''ll go back to my room and change clothes."


    The main building complex here adopts the typical British palace architectural style. All rooms are paved with granite and sandstone floors. Walking on the spacious stone staircase, through the windows between the columns, you can see an area of ??50,000 square meters. Feet, grand garden with giant fountain.


    The houses on the second floor have both the British traditional style and the indelible Australian style. That is spaciousness. In this sparsely populated country, the per capita housing area is definitely not comparable to that of crowded Los Angeles. .


    Entering his room, although this is not the owner¡¯s master suite, it has a larger area than his exclusive room in Jenkins Manor. A little bit of emotion is the difference between Australia and the United States. Ryan simply took a shower and changed home clothes. Later, he returned to the lobby on the first floor.


    "This is the new movie you are going to pick up, Judy?"


    Several women were drinking coffee and sitting around the sofa, discussing a script.


    "This was given to me by my agent before I came to Australia. I haven''t decided whether to pick it up yet." It seems that the script belongs to Judy Foster. "A story between a tutor and a king, Oriental version. Jane Eyre."


    ""Anna and the King of Siam"?" Cate Blanchett asked.


    "That''s right." Judy Foster nodded. "It''s based on the film in 46 years."


    "This kind of subject far away from the Western background..." Nicole Kidman smiled embarrassedly, and continued after Judy Foster made a nonchalant gesture, "Such a subject fails. The risk is extremely high."


    "My dear sister, do you think about it from the perspective of a producer?" Antonia Kidman was obviously joking about her sister.


    "Okay, how about this script? Just ask Ryan, don''t you know." Cate Blanchett raised his head and looked at the stairs, Ryan was standing here listening to their discussion.


    "Ryan, can you?" Judy Foster raised the script in his hand to him.


    "It''s my pleasure." Ryan joked and walked over, "As long as you don''t mind."


    "There are no outsiders here." Judy Foster handed over the script casually.


    After taking over the script, Ryan sat on the solo sofa, quickly flipped through it, compared with the picture in his memory, and quickly determined that this was the one that made Judy Foster completely turned into a box office poison. Movies.


    Even if it fails at the box office, the word of mouth is still terrible.


    "Judy, what do you mean?" Slowly closing the script, Ryan asked Judy Foster.


    "I haven''t figured it out yet, the characters in it are very good, but the plot and themes..." She shook her head slowly.


    In fact, she didn''t mention the other aspect, the remuneration offered by Fox in the 20th century is very tempting.


    "Let''s put the logic of the plot aside and just talk about the subject matter."


    After all, the other party is one of Nicole¡¯s best friends, and Ryan doesn¡¯t want to watch her walk the same way in her previous life Actually, Nicole¡¯s view is very correct. This kind of subject comes from the East, unless the perspective and perspective are very different. It is in line with our mainstream, otherwise it will definitely not be welcomed in the West, and I don¡¯t see these in this script. "


    Shaking the script, Ryan returned to Judy Foster, and continued, "Speaking of the East, everyone must know that Siam is now Thailand, and Thai cultural and political figures have almost no influence in the Far East. In this case, it is difficult to attract the media and audiences in the Far East. In Thailand, Chulalongkorn is considered a great king. These are obviously fictitious plots in the movie. Thai people will definitely not accept it. I Dare to say, this movie will definitely be boycotted by Thailand."


    Unless the script of this movie is overhauled and turned into a "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" style Western film in the East, there is only one way to go. In the previous life, besides leaving the still classic soundtrack and interludes, Both the East and the West were violently attacked at the same time.


    "So, Judy, my suggestion is to abandon it." The two sides have had friendship for many years, otherwise Ryan would not have said such direct words.


    "It seems that there is such a point." Antonia Kidman stared at Ryan and joked, "I should really record what you just said. After this movie fails, I will show it on my show, for sure. Can increase a lot of viewership." ()

 Chapter 346： Corridor at night

    The huge horse hooves smashed the green grass blades, and Ryan rode a black steed and passed Nicole again.


    "Ryan, slow down, pay attention to safety." Nicole''s reminding voice came from behind.


    "My speed is not fast, you are too slow." Ryan pulled on the reins, and the horse called Meredith changed from trotting to pacing, and slowly wandered around the racecourse. "Quickly Keep up, Nicole."


    "It''s coming." Nicole sat down on the white horse speeding up and chased after the sun.


    The summer sun reflected on her white cheeks, with circles of blush, her curvy figure appeared under tight-fitting riding clothes. It was probably the relationship between the filming of "The Matrix" in the past year and her slender legs. , Not only as attractive as usual, but also full of explosive beauty.


    Ryan''s horse speed has been set to the slowest. After Nicole caught up, the two turned their horses out of the racecourse and headed to the small lake to the east, where Antonia and the others were fishing.


    "When will the hired professional jockeys arrive?" Ryan''s eyes drifted over her slender legs from time to time, and Nicole picked up the corner of her eyes concealedly. "Sorry, I forgot to tell you. We asked to ride. If the teacher has something to do, he won''t come over."


    "Damn it." Ryan frowned. "What about my riding training?"


    "Your riding skills are very good, dear." Ni can lightly nod Ryan''s forehead with a whip, and when the sky blue eyes turned back, she smiled brilliantly, "In amateur class, barely Can be considered a master."


    "But I want to become a professional-level master." Ryan pulled on the reins and slowed down further. Even if there is no physical contact, the atmosphere of the two being alone is enough to make him feel satisfied, "Don''t forget, I It is very likely to appear in two movies with a lot of horse riding plots."


    "Isn''t there a stunt double?" Nicole was a little curious.


    "Some characters can''t use doubles, otherwise..." Ryan made a gesture that you understand.


    "Okay. Ryan." Nicole solemnly exhorted, "No matter what you do, safety first, don''t worry me."


    "Don''t worry, my dear."


    By the turquoise lake, there are several big sun umbrellas of different colors. Although Australia has entered the summer, the sun is a bit dazzling, but the temperature is not high, and occasionally the sea breeze from the Gold Coast blows. It can also bring bursts of coolness.


    Nicole ran under the umbrella and went fishing with her companions. Ryan removed the saddles for the horses, and let them gnaw the grass by the lake leisurely, while she found a quiet tree and took it off. The cowboy hat he was wearing, buttoned on his face, seemed to want to sleep for a while.


    I worked hard last night for most of the night, and got up early today. Even if he was full of energy, he felt a little tired.


    "Hey, dear, will you go and pick some grapes in the vineyard?"


    The hat just covered his face. Ryan heard Nicole''s crisp shout, and after making a clear gesture to the lake, he walked slowly towards the vineyard.


    There is a winery behind the vineyard, and the original winemakers were left by Nicole. Although the red wine they brew is not a well-known brand, it has a unique flavor.


    The banquet on Thanksgiving night may have been infected by the beautiful rural scenery. Several people, including Nicole, drank a few more glasses of red wine, and when the alcohol broke out, the women who had been in the entertainment industry for many years were unavoidable.


    Especially Judy Foster, who kissed Cate Blanchett and Antonia Kidman forcibly, not counting, even wanted to kiss Nicole several times, but Ryan was silently blocked by Ryan.


    Affected by unreliable information on the Internet in the past life, Ryan has always believed that after a woman and a woman are affectionate, the possibility of becoming **** is extremely high. He doesn''t want his Nicole, and will like women in the future.


    Even when watching certain videos, he never felt that women were unacceptable or disgusting.


    "Alright!" Ryan clapped his palms vigorously, attracting a few pairs of drunk eyes, "It''s getting late, and we have to return to Sydney tomorrow. It''s time to rest."


    Ryan didn¡¯t bother to take care of the other three women who were still mad, took Nicole¡¯s arm and drove her back to the room upstairs. As for the three downstairs, would they have some super friendship through Jiujin? Relationship, it doesn¡¯t matter to him.


    "Wait for me at night, it''s yesterday time." Nicolas kissed Ryan hard, and then closed the door.


    Back in the room, Ryan went to wash off the tainted alcohol first, sat at the desk, turned on the laptop, and browsed the various emails he received recently. There are more and more industries and companies under his name, although not Directly intervene in business, but he has never let go of what he should know and know.


    Pixar Studios is now on the right track. After the launch of "Bug Crisis" in overseas markets, it has also been welcomed. Although the other side of the Pacific chose to introduce "Mulan" instead of "Bug Crisis", it is now The overseas box office of a computer animation feature film also exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office totaled nearly 450 million U.S. dollars.


    Without Disney''s constraints and the conflict between Pixar''s management and Disney''s board of directors, the brilliance of "Bug Crisis" far exceeds the previous life.


    Movies have achieved tens of millions of dollars in profit at the box office, not to mention derivatives that account for the bulk of revenue.


    The success of "Bug Crisis" makes the market value of Pixar''s studio far exceed the same period in the previous life, infinitely close to the 5 billion dollar mark. If next year''s "Toy Story 2" can be successful, then Pixar is bound to welcome it. Here comes a new skyrocket.


    And Pixar also confirmed the next animated feature film project as "Monsters Electric Company".


    At this point, Ryan was completely relieved of Pixar''s studio. His acquisition did not affect Pixar''s development.


    Then there is the "Saving Private Ryan" account that has been in place one after another. This movie has so far swept nearly half a billion dollars in the world, and in several major overseas markets, there is no time for the next stage. Ryan participated in this movie. The pulling effect on the box office is extremely obvious, and many people enter the theater just for him.


    However, the email from Garcia left Ryan puzzled.


    The partners of "Saving Private Ryan" such as Paramount and Jenkins Pictures, and the cast members such as himself and Tom Hanks, all earned large sums of dollar bills. According to the statistics from the producer DreamWorks, On the contrary, they themselves are very likely to lose money on this movie.


    In his previous life, Ryan also heard that DreamWorks actually made a loss in "Saving Private Ryan". Now it seems that it may be a fact. If this happens in the end, it shows the management of DreamWorks. , There must be a big problem.


    Also, Spielberg seems to have identified Michael Bay and did not take his words too seriously. After determining the script of "Pearl Harbor", he not only let Bombshell be the producer, but also gave it to With almost all the power he can give, the tragedy of "Pearl Harbor" has been unavoidable.


    It seems that Spielberg also listened a little bit, such as choosing the British rose Kate Beckinsale as the heroine.


    Then there is the email from Marvel Comics, reminding Ryan not to forget to attend the premiere of "Blade Warrior".


    This movie was selected for release in early December. Firstly, it avoided the most competitive Christmas file, and secondly, it didn''t want to fight with Ryan''s "Remains of a Deserted Island".


    In other words, Marvel Pictures has no confidence to face the movie starring Ryan.


    After processing the mail, Ryan raised his head and looked at the wall clock, and found that the time had passed long ago, and there was no movement at the door. Did Nicole fall asleep?


    As if this possibility is unlikely, Nicole never let him dove.


    Ryan opened the door and walked down the stairs softly. At the corner of the second floor, the dim light reflected the granite wall, and low voices were heard in the darkness.


    this late? Is anyone still asleep? Ryan frowned, and since he got here, he didn''t plan to go back immediately.


    Turning around the stairs, Ryan couldn''t help but stare at the scene that was happening in the dim light.


    Judy Foster stopped in front of Nicole excitedly, saying whether he was serious or drunk after drinking too much, "Nicole, why can''t you accept me? We have known each other for so many years..."


    "Enough, Judy." Nicole was obviously annoyed.


    "Do not¡­¡­"


    "What about Sidney?" Nicole had been in friendship with her for nearly ten years and had known her same-sex partner for a long time.


    "we broke up¡­¡­"


    "Well, Judy, you drank too much today, I think you never said these things."


    Nicole turned around to go back to her room, but was stopped by Judy Foster first, "Nicole, we have known each other for almost ten years, and there has never been a man by your side..."


    "I''m not gay."


    "Did you forget, Nicole, the most..."


    "To shut up."


    Nicole was facing the direction of the stairs, noticed the shadow that Ryan turned out, and quickly covered Judy Foster''s mouth, "Shut up, Judy, Ryan is here."


    "Ryan?"


    "Two haven''t slept so late?"


    Ryan''s tone was a little cold, his girlfriend was harassed, and no one would be happy if he changed it, even if the harasser was a woman.


    "Drink too much at night and can''t sleep, come over and talk to Nicole."


    Judy Foster was not an ordinary woman. She quickly recovered her calm, gestured goodnight to Ryan, and walked to her room, "It''s getting late, it''s time to go to bed."


    Staring at her background, Ryan shook his head. If Judy Foster was a man, he would have become a pig''s head when he heard the conversation between the two, and then he would be buried in a flower field and made lavender. fertilizer.


    "Why did you come down?" There was nothing strange about Nicole''s face.


    "You and Judy..."


    "Many years ago, she asked me for love, but I refused." Nicole said openly. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 347： Dig the foot of the wall

    After the reception, John Lasseter did not leave immediately. He walked to the West Caf¨¦ of the Four Seasons Hotel. Since the other party can pass the message through his friends, he won¡¯t be a stranger. I don''t know who the person who dated me is? What''s the purpose?


    Under the guidance of the waiter, he came to a quiet partition and saw the man sitting at the table slowly sipping coffee. John Lasseter frowned. How could it be him?


    Perhaps few people in the general public know him, but as a Hollywood insider, how could John Lasseter not know the helm or tyrant of Walt Disney?


    "Please sit down, John."


    After John Lasseter sat down, the waiter had served coffee and took the initiative to stay away from the partition.


    "It is said that Pixar''s new animated feature film is about to be completed?"


    Probably it has been in control of Disney for too long, and certain things have become habit unconsciously, and Michael Eisner seems a bit strong.


    "It will probably take a while." John Lasseter slowly sipped his coffee.


    As an active-minded creator, he extremely hates this kind of atmosphere, this kind of atmosphere that restricts free thought.


    "John, have you ever thought of returning to Disney." Michael Eisner did not have so much hypocrisy and politeness, and directly stated his purpose.


    "Back to Disney?" John Lasseter frowned, and the other party''s answer was within his expectations.


    In fact, since "Toy Story", many companies have approached him, including Disney''s animation department. But he refused one by one.


    "I remember you left Disney in 1984 and joined Lucas'' company. There are traces of Disney that can''t be erased on your resume..." Michael Eisner suddenly laughed and said slowly and forcefully, "Back Disney, in charge of Disney¡¯s animation department."


    His eyesight was scorching, and the opponent was only Pixar''s executive creative vice president. Even if you have some Pixar shares in your hand, it will never be too much. To be in charge of the animation department of a super giant like Walt Disney is a great honor and temptation...


    You know, for half a century, Disney''s animation has always been the number one in Hollywood, and even the number one in the world.


    Unfortunately, Michael Eisner ignored it. He has been suppressing Disney''s animation department. Disney''s animation department may still rank first in Hollywood, but even the layman can see the downward trend.


    If John Lasseter is not tempted, it must be false. He graduated from the California Institute of the Arts, and his first intern job was at Disney. His growth was closely tied to Disney. His youth and dreams were left there.


    However, I saw the man sitting opposite, this Disney dictator. John Lasseter''s heart faded.


    Who is Michael Eisner? Crimsonism, illegal use of power, control of the board of directors, most importantly, he has always disliked animated films, and has been reducing investment in animated films. This has spread throughout the industry.


    Also, would he really give the power of the animation department to an outsider like himself? John Lasseter believes that if he changes his job on the front foot, the opponent will prepare a deputy for him...


    If there are no ready-made examples for comparison, John Lasseter might still think about it. The problem is that another person always trusts them and always supports them, even in the most difficult times, even if everyone sees them. When declining them, he still invested heavily.


    If this is only the case, John Lasseter will only think that the other party is a smart investor in gratitude.


    However, after the other party bought Pixar, apart from financial supervision, he did not interfere with any of their decisions. He completely entrusted Pixar''s future to his group of idealists.


    Pixar¡¯s corporate culture, Pixar¡¯s philosophy, Pixar¡¯s persistence, and Pixar¡¯s freedom are the keys to their success.


    Can Walt Disney do this now? Can they do the decentralization of Ryan Jenkins?


    "Mike, I think...it takes a long time to consider." John Lasseter declined gently.


    "I''m waiting for your good news." Michael Eisner stood up, leaving the last sentence before leaving, "John, the doors of Disney will always be open to you."


    Looking at the distant figure of the other party, John Lasseter thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the phone of the person who never harassed them.


    Hung up the phone, Ryan lay down on the bed and stretched a long lazy waist. Michael Eisner would dig Pixar¡¯s corner. This is normal, but it¡¯s a pity that Disney is not in the new century, and smart people don¡¯t. Join this muddy water at this time.


    In fact, after the success of "Toy Story", digging Pixar technicians happened from time to time, and some people also chose to buy out their contracts and switch jobs.


    However, whether it is Ryan or Pixar''s senior executives, they don''t care much. Hollywood has never blocked film technology. Only constant exchanges can drive the development of the entire industry.


    As long as Pixar maintains its own corporate culture, maintains the stability of its core personnel, and appropriately replaces the old with the new, it is intentional and harmless.


    Besides, Pixar cannot dominate the entire 3D animation market, otherwise, not to mention other interest groups, the federal government will be the first to find trouble, and the monopoly law is not a display.


    The core personnel of Pixar are idealists. Although in the face of sufficient benefits, ideals are empty. The question is, can the current Michael Eisner and Disney¡¯s management give enough benefits?


    Ed Camel, John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and others not only hold Pixar shares, but salary and dividends are also among the top levels in the industry.


    Disney''s board of directors, will John Lasseter or a few others, once again break the balance of Disney''s management? Michael Ovitz¡¯s lessons for the past are right in front of him. When Michael Eisner advocated the introduction of this senior, when he was forced to resign, he not only took away 200 million US dollars in compensation, but also made the court order Disney¡¯s directors to bear joint and several liabilities. Liability.


    Even Michael Eisner¡¯s supporters on the board have to consider whether there will be the next Michael Ovitz.


    Also, will other companies give them the freedom that Pixar has given to these core personnel?


    "What are you thinking about, so ecstatic?"


    Nicole Kidman walked into the bedroom, holding a few disks in his hand, "Need a supper?"


    "A lion jumped out to bite someone. I was thinking how I could not be bitten by it, um... I can kick him a few times as a counterattack."


    Ryan lifted his head, and his eyes fell on the Australian girl. Nicole had just taken a shower. Her blond hair was wet and draped behind her head. The short bathrobe was tied loosely on her body. The neckline was sewn. Her movements will reveal beautiful scenery from time to time.


    Because of the hard training, Nicole did not attend the evening reception. She will go to Australia tomorrow. Antonia Kidman has just experienced the pain of breaking up and needs her comfort. It is estimated that she will stay there for a while. time.


    Even if it is two lives, the women Ryan has been close to can be counted with just a few fingers. The slender and slender body of the Australian diamond girl and the wild and unrestrained body covered in coldness, for him now, there is something wrong with him. Same as general attraction.


    "Does it look good?" Nicole naturally noticed his gaze, knowing how to increase the fun and freshness between the two, "Do you want to see more?"


    At first glance, this woman looked as cold as ice, but she was wild like a tornado in New Orleans...


    I don¡¯t know when, Nicole Kidman tied the thin strip of the bathrobe and dropped it on both sides. She stood in front of Ryan, half-concealed, clearly wanting someone¡¯s life. When Ryan was full of anger, she suddenly turned around and walked to the side of the disk placed on the small table, and took out a bright red strawberry from it.


    The slender eyes with endless charm, narrowed into a slit, and the corners of the eyebrows from time to time twitched Ryan''s heartstrings. What''s more, the bright red strawberry was sandwiched between the two slender fingers. His forehead slowly rolled down, across the tall nose, soft red lips, slender gooseneck...


    In the wild, the Australian girl showed a more careful side. She knew how to arouse the man''s interest in herself.


    However, just as the atmosphere in the bedroom was about to reach its peak, Ryan''s mobile phone that was thrown on the bedside table suddenly rang.


    "Ryan, can you turn it off..."


    Although he wanted to do this, there are only a few people who know his private number. Those who can call at this night must have urgent matters.


    "Shhh..." Ryan raised her index finger to Nicole and connected to the phonePat..."


    "Ryan, our people contacted Mr. Spearman, and he agreed to transfer the right to adapt the memoir to Jenkins Pictures, but made some..."


    "The price?"


    "No, the price he asked for was extremely low, and he didn''t care about the money. His only request was to donate half of the movie''s proceeds to several Jewish survivor organizations."


    "Promise him, I must get this memoir as soon as possible." Ryan suddenly felt his scalp numb, and the strange taste almost made him tremble, and he couldn''t help taking a long breath, "hiss..."


    "Did something happen, Ryan?"


    "No...no..." He slowly mixed his breath. From this angle, he could only see the blond hair scattered on his chest and abdomen, "Pat, and... there is one more thing, help me make an appointment with Roy. ? Disney, just say I ask him to play golf as soon as possible."


    After hung up the phone, Ryan looked down, only to see the seductive eyes between the scattered golden hair. The long and flexible tongue gave him endless enjoyment. ()

 Chapter 348： Surprised superhero

    Please remember the website of this site: please post it to your qq group Weibo/WeChat forum to recommend the promotion introduction!


    Marvel comics and comics are each other¡¯s biggest competitors, and they also have in-depth cooperation. However, after the comics were included under Time Warner, they have developed rapidly. Especially Superman and Batman have appeared on the big screen. Further widened the gap between the two sides.


    Now, the amazing superhero has finally come out. Director Jeffrey Bix from Time Warner and Paul Leviz, CEO of comics, also accepted the invitation and appeared at the premiere of "Blade Warrior."


    "Who would have thought that Marvel Comics, which was on the verge of bankruptcy and was about to fall into the abyss, would be pulled back by Ryan Jenkins abruptly."


    After greeted the host, the two looked for a corner of the theater hall, and looked at Ryan, who was receiving guests from the high-level surprise, talking in a low voice.


    "How old was he at that time, and how much net worth? He dared to invest nearly half a billion dollars in surprise. This kind of courage has to be admired." Jeffrey Bix retracted his gaze and continued, "Avi Allard and Stan Lee got his full support, which promoted the reform of Surprise. It is said that Surprise finally turned losses into profits in the first half of this year, with a profit of more than tens of millions of dollars."


    "If "Blade Warrior" can succeed, their profits in the second half of the year may be several times." The role of the movie in promoting comic companies, who knows more than the CEO of comics, "Our Superman and Batman in the future There is an opponent."


    "Not only that, it is said that Ryan has made a very long-term plan for Marvel. If this movie is successful, more Marvel heroes will appear on the big screen. He has this kind of strength and this kind of ambition. "Jeffrey Bicks shook his head, seeming to be talking to his companions, and seeming to be talking to himself, "Don''t worry. We have too many common interests with Ryan, and the cooperation will become more and more. Go deeper."


    "He''s here." Paul Leviz reminded.


    In any case, Ryan is the actual owner of Marvel Comics. The first superhero movie that belongs to Marvel premiered. His owner is naturally indispensable for socializing and socializing. When he saw Jeffrey Bix, he couldn''t help but sprout. Got some ideas.


    Yes, the biggest competitor of Marvel Comics is comics, but this does not mean that the two parties cannot cooperate, and the cooperation between him and Warner has been very happy. The relevant agreement for the Harry Potter film series was officially signed not long ago.


    "Jeff, I didn''t expect to meet again so soon, this is..." Ryan looked at Bix''s side.


    "Paul Leviz, Ryan, just call me Paul."


    Ryan shook his opponent''s outstretched hand forcefully, and immediately remembered who he was, "Just take the liberty to ask, Paul, are you the CEO?"


    "Yes." The other party nodded solemnly.


    "Ryan. I heard you are creating a big series for Surprise?"


    After Ryan and Paul Leviz exchanged a few words, Jeffrey Bix asked.


    "It doesn''t have much to do with me." Ryan smiled and shook his head, surprised that big moves have taken place frequently in recent years, and almost all the copyrights of popular superheroes have been taken back. A caring person can roughly see something.


    "The Avengers?" Paul Leviz asked tentatively.


    "Yes." There is no need to deny this kind of thing. Those who are standing here are veterans in the industry. "Superhero movies have similarities, surprises and competition. But this kind of competition is benign, and we can definitely be here. Cooperation on the basis of."


    Popular superheroes are no less than surprises.


    "Warner stranded the superhero movie temporarily." Jeffrey Bix sighed and frowned. "We suffered a miserable failure on "Batman and Robin."


    Of course, Ryan has noticed about the Batman series. In the past few years, Nicole also starred in "Batman Forever", and "Batman and Robin" both encountered Waterloo at the box office and word of mouth, making Warner had to The subsequent plans were temporarily cancelled, including the new "Superman" movie.


    "Ryan, maybe you can give us some suggestions." Jeffrey Bix really didn''t give up any opportunities.


    "Jeff, in my opinion, your handling is very wise. Temporarily seal up the entire series and restart it after the audience gradually forgets this terrible movie." Ryan recalled the situation about Batman and Superman in his previous life. When the time comes, find a prequel or post-quel hype..."


    In accordance with the tone, Riel made a gesture that you understand.


    However, Warner will have to find another director at that time. Almost all of the previous works of the movie theater projectionist have been produced by him, so that they have not appeared until now. It is estimated that the possibility of getting ahead is infinitely small.


    Most superhero movies have been criticized by professional film critics, but no one can deny that series and Marvel series have become popular after entering the new century. It is precisely because of the support of a wide audience that the market will continue to flourish.


    "Trust me, Paul, Jeff, it won''t take long for Superman and Batman to make a comeback, and you can also build the Justice League series." Ryan said these words not to praise them, but for another purpose. "According to my plan, the superheroes of Surprise will also occupy a place on the big screen at that time. Surprise and it is completely possible to carry out more in-depth cooperation."


    With Ryan''s past achievements, his words are naturally very convincing.


    And Jeffrey Bix and Paul Leviz were also interested. "Can you be more specific, Ryan?"


    "It''s just some immature ideas." Ryan nodded his forehead with a finger. "We can create topical hype and let the two superheroes face off in the air, such as Superman vs. Hulk, Batman vs. America. Captain, Storm Woman vs. Wonder Woman, and then let their fans vote to decide their victory..."


    The two slowly nodded their heads. This is definitely a good idea. If there is such a hype before the release of their respective superhero movies, they can easily attract a large audience.


    "And..." Ryan didn''t mean to let them go at all. "Do you think Justice League and Avengers should be the ultimate pursuit of superhero movies?"


    "Ryan, you mean..." Jeffrey Bix and Paul Leviz''s eyes brightened.


    "Yes! When we launched our respective ultimate series, why not let the Justice League and the Avengers fight or fight side by side?" Ryan spread his hands, there are not so many messy copyright issues in this world.


    As for the feasibility and parallel universe, I believe the screenwriters on both sides can definitely solve it.


    "We should convene the executives of Surprise and He to discuss the feasibility." The two guys were obviously moved by Ryan''s incomprehensible thoughts.


    "Don''t worry, Jeff, Paul!" Ryan shook his finger. "This day is still very far away, and it will take at least ten years."


    "You think so far." The CEO of the comic sighed, "No wonder you always succeed, Ryan."


    "I''ve written down this matter, and it will be brought up on Warner''s board of directors." Jeffrey Bix believes that even the most conservative director, knowing that these are suggestions from Ryan Jenkins, will be moved. "Then I wish Surprise tonight''s "Blade Warrior" a great success."


    After leaving the two men, Ryan followed the crowd and walked directly into the theater. Although he only hung up a producer, Surprise still arranged his seat in the front row. The old man sitting next to him was Surprise. Stan Lee, the father of comic superheroes.


    "Ryan, don''t you think our rhythm should be a little faster?" According to the original agreement, 5% of the profits of each superhero movie belonged to Stan Lee, and the old man was naturally particularly concerned.


    "Aren''t we going to start the X-Men series soon?" Ryan looked at the old man.


    "What about Spider-Man?" Among all the superheroes in Marvel, Spider-Man is undoubtedly the most popular because of its own settings. "I heard that James Cameron has always..."


    "Stan, if James is the director, can surprise support the entire budget?" Ryan shook his head, "Don''t worry, as long as "Blade Warrior" succeeds, the follow-up plan can be started gradually."


    This is a typical American entertainment movie. If there is any difference from the past popcorn movies, it is the fighting, which uses the''kung fu'' routines. Not only does it have the power of an American action movie, but also Full of agility and gorgeous beauty.


    In recent years,''Kung Fu'' has been quite marketable in North America, and the constant shouts of''cool'' from the audience are sufficient proof of this.


    Unlike traditional superhero movies, "Blade Warrior" has added a lot of horror and **** scenes. It is estimated that a lot of ketchup was used in the filmingSome scenes may be scary for North American audiences. But in Ryan''s eyes, there are still more disgusting ingredients.


    The crew obviously put a lot of effort into the makeup of several protagonists, and their appearance is cold and cool, especially the black protagonist, who can be called scumbag.


    There is also the heroine Penelope Cruz, who has completed the role of the vase very well. Like all the heroines in popcorn movies, she either pits the protagonist one time or saves the protagonist one time. She hugs the black actor. The shot of being sucked blood is absolutely amazing.


    Although the movie is dressed in the cloak of a vampire, it does not deviate from the traditional routines of Hollywood movies. For example, the protagonist will definitely be caught, and the villain will definitely not kill the protagonist. They are always killed by the protagonist after a long talk.


    Then there is the theme. An American or American hero saved the world and all mankind in the most crisis. This is indispensable. Although this is very clich¨¦d, it is extremely in line with the audience¡¯s thoughts and tastes. This theme will not remain unchanged after more than ten years. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 349： rule

    This movie Marvel comics is not only to test the waters, but also to build popularity for subsequent works. Although Ryan has confidence in the superhero of Marvel, Marvel¡¯s management only positioned the comic fans as a market target. However, after the movie was released, watch the movie. The reaction of the crowd went beyond their expectations.


    Thriller, blood and American Hong Kong Kung Fu, as well as the classic suspended slow mirror shot, coupled with the combination of beautiful women and cool men, have become a topic of interest among movie fans, and some even think that "Blade Warriors" "Can be called a classic of action movies.


    Although professional film critics are not cold about this kind of film, they often post sour comments such as "Ketchup and silly fights that attract the eye", but it is a pity that most of the movie fans do not buy their accounts and have entered the theater. Enjoy this pure entertainment.


    "We need to please the audience, not the so-called professionals. As long as the audience is willing to pay for tickets, let their film reviews go to hell."


    This is what Ryan said at the Marvel high-level meeting after the box office came out in the first week. "Blade Warrior" is obviously a purely entertaining film. If the film critics insist on commenting on it with an artistic style, it would be a big joke. .


    In this respect, what Ryan admired most was the later Michael Bay. Those film critics couldn¡¯t wait to downgrade his work to the Mariana Trench, but the explosion after the fiasco awakened to the extreme, several major films. The production makes the producer full of pockets.


    Regarding the future positioning, Ryan is very clear, that is commercialization, and his efforts in film are also closely centered on commercialization.


    For example, Scott¡¯s investment team has been staring at the IT industry since the early nineties, and will submit a report for him every once in a while, and then Ryan will look for the name of an impressive company or website, which can be What he remembers must be famous in his past lives.


    Just last month, he submitted a report from Scott. I found two familiar website names-imdb ??and Rotten Tomatoes, and then...


    Then there is no indication that Ryan has no interest in these two websites. In his previous life, he was engaged in the theater industry and knew a lot of information that was only widely circulated in the industry.


    These two websites can be said to be typical of overestimated. Their influence is not as great as imagined. Not to mention the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences, it is to the movie box office...


    In the last year of the previous life, one of the most authoritative film institutions in the United States. Through long-term observation and evaluation, it is found that for the top 50 movies in the box office in the last ten years, the correlation between the box office and the scores of imdb and Rotten Tomatoes is only 0.13, in other words, there is almost no correlation.


    The most representative is the "Transformers" series, the relevance dropped to -0.81, and the negative score means that the more fierce film critics criticize, the more the box office rises.


    In Ryan''s view, it is the decision whether the movie is good or bad and life or death. It will never be a website or a film critic, but the choice of the audience.


    Besides, the more controversial a large production, the more attractive it is. Often the benefits are more substantial.


    After all, "Blade Warrior" is the first movie produced by Marvel. It is normal for the management to worry about it. When the box office came out in the first week, they were relieved of their hearts by at least half.


    The box office in the first week was 34.5 million U.S. dollars. Directly kicked Leonardo''s "Mission Impossible" from the throne of the weekly box office ranking champion, and the latter has occupied this position for three weeks, and the North American box office exceeded 100 million US dollars. In addition, Xiao Li became a superstar.


    Judging from the number of viewers who did not decrease sharply in the second week, it should be easy for "Blade Warrior" to exceed 100 million at the box office in North America. Coupled with the several overseas markets that have already been introduced, the box office alone may be able to earn a thousand back. Ten thousand dollars in profit.


    Ryan also breathed a sigh of relief. The producer of this movie in the previous life was a new line, but in this life it was replaced by Surprise Pictures, which appeared in advance. He was somewhat worried. After all, this involved an investment of close to 500 million US dollars, even if it was in the past. The debt was paid off long ago.


    Now there is no surprise. The surprised management also has confidence in their children. Not only has it accelerated the preliminary planning of "X-Men", but also put "Blade Warrior 2" on the agenda.


    Marvel¡¯s management also understands Ryan¡¯s plan. As long as "Blade Warrior" and "X-Men" warm up the market, Marvel''s biggest goal at the beginning of the new century will be "Spider-Man"!


    "Stan, I still meant to add more intersections for Eric and Charles in the plot. For example, they used to fight side by side and were very good friends. Charles was paralyzed because of Eric''s accidental injury."


    Holding a mobile phone, Ryan beckoned to a few friends, walked out of the tennis court in the manor, and kept communicating with Stan Lee, "Don¡¯t characterize Magneto as a villain, I¡¯m looking for someone to do the market. According to the investigation, Eric has a very high popularity. A Magneto who fights for the benefit of mutants, who is also good and evil, will definitely be more popular."


    He changed his mobile phone. "Although we are shooting a trilogy for the time being, we should prepare for the long-term. As long as the entire series is welcomed, we can take out the most popular characters to make movies alone, or even pay for them in the future. You can shoot the prequel and tell the story of their youth."


    "Well, no problem. After confirming the outline, it can be sent to my mailbox." Ryan turned and walked towards the tennis court. "That''s it for now."


    Magneto King Eric and Professor X are a good pair of friends, plus the magical girl Ruiwen, the plot of falling in love and killing is enough blood.


    Of course, Ryan has a long-term plan. In this era, Magneto and Professor X will have a dead end for the movie.


    Hmm... just add some interaction.


    Thinking of these insignificant things, Ryan returned to the tennis court, handed his mobile phone back to George, and shouted to the two girls who were fighting, "Who lost?"


    "I!"


    Scarlett Johansson raised her hand first, walked over and handed the tennis racket to Ryan, lowering her voice, "You are merciful, if Nat is in a hurry..."


    She squeezed her eyes, and she was naughty inside.


    Ryan shrugged. After Natalie¡¯s birthday, Scarlett clearly saw the relationship between the two people. Maybe it was Natalie¡¯s advice, or maybe she really grew up and matured. Nothing. Anyone to disclose.


    When he walked to the teeing ground, Ryan took out the tennis ball in his pocket, turned his hand a few times, and shouted to the opposite Natalie, "Nat, let you see the strength of the next professional level master now."


    "Stop talking, Ryan." Natalie, with a ponytail, tidied up her sportswear and posed for the ball. "You can beat Tyler at best."


    "Impossible, he never beat me." Taylor''s voice came from the rest area next to the tennis court.


    "My dear, no one can win under the rules you set."


    No Internet access, no movement, no right to serve, the most important thing is to use a ping-pong racket. This rule is that if Agassi and Sampras are here, they can only lose.


    Shaking his head, Ryan tossed the pale yellow tennis ball, swung out the racket, and the ball fell into the net.


    Damn it! The corners of his mouth trembled.


    "Fifteen to zero!" The blond curly scoring voice rang.


    "Hey, double-headed mistakes count as one point!" Ryan waved the beat in dissatisfaction, and Taylor yelled indifferently, "Should men not let women?"


    "Hurry up, Ryan." Natalie''s racket slammed her sneakers. "Or change my serve?"


    "Alright alright!"


    Picking up the tennis ball, in line with the principle of good men not fighting women, Ryan once again stood at the serving point. Looking at his posture, he is definitely a professional-level master.


    Although he did not have professional training as said, Ryan''s level is good in amateurs. As long as the ball does not get caught or out of bounds, Natalie rarely receives his serve and return.


    "Fifteen to forty, Nat, you have to cheer, or you will lose." Taylor and Scarlett cheered.


    "Stop, Ryan!" Natalie raised her hand to interrupt Ryan''s prepared serve, "I request...to change the racket."


    "Nate, don''t waste time, even if you change ten rackets, you will still lose." Ryan shook his head indifferently.


    "Who said I want to change the racket?" Natalie gave a sly smile, "I mean you change the racket, for a table tennis racket."


    After speaking, she turned to the sidelines, "Taylor, quickly send Ryan''s special racket."


    "immediately!"


    The blond little girl jumped out of the seat and ran over in a breeze. Amidst Ryan''s stunned mouth, she snatched the tennis racket and stuffed a ping-pong racket into his hand.


    "This¡­¡­"


    Ryan looked at the tennis ball in his left hand, then at the red racket in his right hand, and then gritted his teeth and tossed the tennis ball.


    "Thirty to forty..."


    "Forty to forty..."


    "Now it''s evenly divided!"


    "Wow, Nat, you got the point at the end of the game!"


    The result of the game can be imagined. After Ryan walked off the tennis court, Taylor replaced him. When he was sitting in the rest area, she still shouted the so-called rules to the opposite side, and Natalie''s face was full of black lines~www. novelhall.com~ Where''s Christine? "Ryan is a little strange, that tomboy always likes to follow Tyler''s ass.


    "She''s on the crew." Scarlett Johansson put the juice on the table next to Ryan, "Aunt Jules helped her find a role."


    "A movie called "The Little Mermaid"." She added.


    "So that''s the case." Ryan nodded.


    This is a normal thing. The mother and the friends and relatives around him are all well-known people in the circle. Entering Hollywood will naturally become the first choice, and it is a great advantage and resource to interpret the family background.


    "Ryan, I haven''t thanked you yet." Scarlett has passed Sophia Coppola''s audition.


    "You''re welcome, Scarlett, we are friends."


    Ryan waved her hand indifferently, and then saw Lisa approaching with a weird expression, "Ryan, someone is coming to visit you." (To be continued...)()

 Chapter 350： Determine the director

    Frowning, Ryan looked at Natalie on the tennis court. The Long Island girl was being tortured by Tyler. She sighed slightly and said loudly, "My dears, you continue, I am here as a guest. "


    "You are free." Natalie took the time to wave her hand.


    Before returning to the villa, Ryan walked into the living room and saw a blonde girl with her arms folded, admiring the Oscar statuette in the glass cabinet. She was wearing blue-black tights, long leather boots of the same color, and an upper body. The blouse jacket, showcasing a slender and graceful figure.


    "Hi, Charlie."


    The South African diamond seemed to be in a trance, Ryan had no choice but to say hello.


    "Ah..." Charlize Theron turned his head, first smiled embarrassedly, then noticed Ryan''s clothes, and asked curiously, "I''m working out?"


    "Playing tennis with a few friends." Ryan motioned her to sit and asked, "Why are you here?"


    "I made a special trip to thank you." Charlize Theron pouted slightly.


    "Thanks?" Ryan was a little strange.


    "I have called several times, and you always say busy, I have to come." Charlize Theron''s eyes swept across his sportswear, even if Ryan''s cheek was thick enough, he couldn''t help but feel a little embarrassed. South Africa Diamonds was very careful and did not allow this atmosphere to continue. He continued, "Some time ago, the Golden Globe Awards announced the nominations. "Perfect" brought me a nomination for the best actress in a drama category. I always wanted to Thank you in person, but there is no chance..."


    Only then did Ryan remember that Charlize Theron received unanimous praise after the release of "Perfectly Perfected". Her previous life Helen Hunter was able to get the best actress Oscar for this role, and she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. Normally, if the public relations are effective, it is not impossible to nominate the Oscar for Best Actress.


    "That''s really congratulations." Ryan thought for a while, "I will notify Pat. I will try my best to fight for you."


    Compared with the Oscars, the Golden Globes are still more susceptible to external factors. With Charlize Theron¡¯s qualifications, it is almost impossible to win the Oscars for the best actress convincingly, but there is still hope for the Golden Globes. of.


    "Ryan..."


    Before Charlize Theron could speak, he heard the crisp laughter of a few girls from outside, and then three girls in sportswear, big, middle and small, came in. She knew the youngest one, although the other two not very familiar with. I have heard a lot about them before.


    "Ryan? This is your guest?" Tyler opened his mouth under the urging of Natalie''s fingers behind him, "It seems familiar."


    "Charlize, this is Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson..." Before Ryan introduced, the little girl spoke by herself, "I''m Taylor Swift."


    "Hello everyone, this is Charlize Theron, you can call me Charlie."


    Charlize Theron extended his hand generously. I shook it with three people one by one, and even Ryan didn''t notice it. When she and Natalie held their hands, an inexplicable meaning flashed in their eyes.


    "Ryan. I''m going to change clothes." Natalie picked up the two girls, turned into the corridor on the other side, and opened the locker room door.


    "What is she doing here?" Scarlett muttered, "I heard from the brokerage company. This woman is very scheming."


    "It''s probably Ryan''s friend."


    Natalie helped Taylor organize her clothes, and said indifferently, "Maybe something is urgent?"


    "Nate. You rarely come to Los Angeles. Maybe you don''t know." Scarlett Johansson leaned close to Natalie and reminded, "She seems to have a good relationship with Ryan. Ryan is the one who can get the Golden Globe nomination. Because of the character recommended by En. Nat, you have never got it, she is a threat..."


    "Hey, what are you talking about? Why don''t I understand?" Taylor protested.


    "I mean¡­¡­"


    After being pulled by Natalie, Scarlett Johansson closed her mouth obediently.


    "What the **** is it?" She was too curious.


    "My dear, you will understand when you grow up."


    Although Natalie treats her like her own sister, she understands that this little guy is a standard big mouth, and there are many people who know and know her in the circle. After learning a secret, she may not be able to spread it everywhere.


    After changing his clothes, Tyler sat on a side chair and took out the lollipop, chewing it crunchingly.


    "What shall we do next?" she muttered.


    "Going to play pool or video games?" Scarlett Johansson suggested.


    "No, let''s go to the living room."


    Natalie stepped on her leather boots and walked out of the locker room first. Scarlett stuck out her tongue behind her and pulled Tyler to chase after her.


    In the empty large living room, Ryan and Charlize Theron were sipping coffee and talking about their recent situation. South African Diamonds is as careful as it is, and can always easily find topics that are of interest to both people at the same time.


    "It''s really a shame that you didn''t go to France in the summer." Charlize Theron said about the World Cup held in France this year. "No one thought that Brazil would hand over the gun so easily in the final, and could do everything. Ronaldo has no way to face the French defense."


    "I see a lot of people in the report accusing this ball of problems." Ryan remembered many rumors in his previous life.


    "Who knows." Charlize Theron shrugged. "After hearing what you said about FIFA, I also feel that the World Cup is far from what I imagined. I also bought Brazil to win, but I lost. A lot of money."


    "How much?" Ryan laughed.


    "Thousands of dollars." Charlize Theron also replied with a bright smile, "just play around."


    "Don''t you like football very much? Why didn''t you go to France?" she asked again.


    "Ryan is too busy."


    Without waiting for Ryan to answer, the crisp female voice next to him took the conversation, "He has been flying around all summer."


    After Natalie finished speaking, she took the other two girls and sat on the couch beside Ryan.


    "Ryan, can I invite you to England during Christmas holidays?" Charlize Theron''s gaze subconsciously swept across Natalie''s face, which was unusually calm.


    "Sorry." This is not the time to hesitate, Ryan shook his head quickly, "The rest of the desert island" is selected in the Christmas stall."


    "It doesn''t matter, I was negligent." She then changed her tone. "Then you can always invite me to your premiere, right?"


    "of course."


    This is normal communication, and Ryan will naturally not refuse.


    "Well, I will be there on time."


    Charlize Theron''s eyes floated across Natalie''s face again, shook her head secretly, and stood up, "Come here today, Ryan, I should go back."


    "I''ll have someone take you back." Ryan said politely.


    "No, I drove here by myself."


    Before leaving the living room, Charlize Theron turned around and said another sentence. "If I have time, I will go to Southern California."


    Sending away the South African diamond, Ryan just returned to the living room when he heard Taylor''s weird cry, "Wow, outsiders are gone, now you don''t have to pretend to be a lady, and you can finally relax."


    The little girl lay on her back on the large sofa, resting her legs on Natalie. Squinted his eyes, "I''m tired from playing, I''ll sleep for a while."


    "Don''t give her too much." Ryan walked over and rubbed Taylor''s blonde hair. Asked, "Nate, don''t you need to go out in the afternoon?"


    "Ok."


    In her filming "The End of the World", Beverly Hills was the main location.


    "Then let''s eat first. After lunch, go to Jenkins Pictures."


    Pulling up Taylor, Ryan greeted the other two people and walked to the restaurant, "I specifically asked Lisa. Let the kitchen cook your favorite dishes."


    The person Ryan met at Jenkins Pictures was Chris Columbus. Although he lacked enough good works after the "Home Alone" series, Ryan chose him as the first candidate.


    When she came to Jenkins Pictures, Natalie took the other two girls to the editing room. She never forgot her dream of being a director. Ryan went directly to the reception room. After a short time, Chris Columbus arrived.


    "Ryan, you''ve grown up in an instant." Chris Columbus can be regarded as one of the people who are most qualified to say this. When "Home Alone" was filmed, Ryan was just a skinny kid. .


    "You''re getting old too, Chris." Ryan joked, pointed to the table and asked, "Coffee or black tea?"


    "black tea."


    After Ryan finished pouring the black tea, he gently sipped his mouth and asked, "Ryan, why am I? Many directors who are better than me almost broke their heads for this position."


    Since Ryan announced that the Harry Potter series of movies were on the agenda, there have been countless directors who have come to recommend themselves. Everyone knows that this is definitely a good opportunity for fame and fortune.


    "Chris, I still remember the scene when filming "Home Alone". The whole set was like a happy party. Not only are you good at making movies for all ages, you are also the director who is the easiest to get along with children."


    Ryan made a gesture that you understand, "Among the Harry Potter actors, there will be a large group of children."


    "It seems that I am more like the principal of a kindergarten?" He laughed, and then asked seriously, "The Harry Potter series has turned to darkness since the third part. I am not suitable for that style. "


    "At that time, I will look for a suitable director again." Ryan filled him with black tea again Is the movie really going to be made in the UK? "


    "Yes." Seeing Ryan nodded, Chris Columbus sighed, "It seems that I am going to move my family to London temporarily. This is a big project."


    "So you agreed?" Ryan raised his eyebrows.


    "Do I have a choice?"


    He muttered in his heart that those who didn''t agree must be fools, "However, I want to be a producer."


    "No problem." Ryan agreed without hesitation, and added, "It''s not just the producer, Chris, you will also be responsible for the entire casting work. You have the final say on the film crew of the crew."


    "What about you, the original author and investor?"


    "I believe our opinions are the same most of the time."


    Ryan and Chris Columbus laughed at the same time. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 351： 1 volleyball

    After deciding on the director, Jenkins Pictures began to look for suitable staff to form a crew. This series has its particularities. The main cast and crew in the future are likely to live in London for a long time. Therefore, in addition to Chris Columbus¡¯s team, Priority will be given to British staff.


    Ryan specially recruited Michael Barnason from Warner Bros. to serve as another producer to assist Chris Columbus with the chores of the crew.


    In addition, Jenkins Pictures has contacted the British media under News Corp. After the New Year, an advertisement for audition actors will be issued. With the hype ability of these guys, the selection of Harry Potter actors will definitely become the best in British life next year. Things to care about.


    Ryan is prepared to spend more than half a year next year to complete the audition of actors. Even the Harry Potter series, because of his relationship, is famous in the world, especially in the western world, far surpassing the previous life. Propaganda is still an essential tool.


    The focus at this stage is naturally "Remaining on a Deserted Island". After the trailer was released, this movie became the most eye-catching focus of the Christmas file. Who made its screenwriter and starring Ryan?


    In particular, the character in the trailer is completely different from the past, and many media believe that this will be Ryan''s work that breaks through the inherent acting skills and transformation.


    Although there are a lot of movies released this year and they have achieved huge profits at the box office and derivatives, in fact, the scale of Jenkins Films has not expanded much, and the increase in staff is also extremely limited. It originally belonged to the three-story ** office of Carlock Films. The floor is still spacious and empty.


    Probably inspired by the Pixar studio, Julius Stewart and Mario Casa converted the huge warehouse on the first floor into a staff paradise, which not only has a small pastry shop and a coffee shop, but also specially An exhibition area for the company¡¯s films was established to place commemorative posters and props.


    After finishing her work, Ryan did not find Natalie and the others in the editing room. I asked briefly and found them. The three girls were sitting on the rattan tables and chairs, tasting the Black Forest cake, and gesticulating at the exhibition area in front of them.


    "Have you seen that necklace? It is the famous''Heart of the Sea''."


    Since I was a child, I played with Kristen Stewart here. Taylor is very familiar with Jenkins Pictures. "Unfortunately, such a beautiful necklace is the big beard of James. It was synthesized by chemical means."


    "And that drawing." Scarlett Johansson gave Natalie a weird smile, "That''s the ** sketch drawn by Ryan for Ruth..."


    "Dear Scarlett, that was drawn by James Cameron against Miss Winslet''s bikini photo." Ryan picked Taylor up, regardless of the little guy''s objection, put her on the other side, and then sat down. She stood beside Natalie, "Scarlett, if you talk badly behind your back, your nose will get longer."


    "I didn''t say anything." Scarlett stuck out her tongue playfully.


    A few people are out of sight. Miss Taylor Swift touched her nose subconsciously, as if worried about the sudden lengthening.


    "Want something to eat? I''ll get it for you." Natalie stood up.


    "Just like you."


    After Natalie left, Ryan took the juice that Taylor hadn''t opened, and poured himself a full glass. In return, the little girl murmured dissatisfiedly, "When did Ryan become a thief?"


    After Ryan habitually rubbed her curls, Natalie brought the black forest cake and placed it in front of him, asking caringly. "You are on a diet, is it okay to eat these?"


    "It won''t matter if you taste it a little bit." Ryan took a small taste, and the taste was very similar to that in Pixar''s restaurant. It seems that the pastry chef here has gone there to study specifically, "It tastes very good."


    "It''s better than what you and Nat did." Tyler wiped the corners of his mouth and asked curiously, "Didn''t the filming of "Remains of a Deserted Island" have finished filming, why did you start dieting again?"


    "Because his next role is a pianist who has been hungry for a long time, and he may even starve to death at any time." Natalie pulled Tyler to her side and carefully wiped off the remaining food scraps for her. "Wait for next year. After he returned from Europe, he might be blown to Nevada by the California sea breeze."


    "Poor Ryan." Taylor showed sympathy and looked at Scarlett. "My dear, you should learn more from Ryan."


    "Shut up, Alison!" Scarlett gave her a pair of white eyes directly.


    "Alright alright."


    Tyler jumped back into his seat, rarely sneered, but exclaimed, "It seems that it is painful to be an actor. I will be a singer obediently in the future."


    "My dear, what have you been doing recently? It''s been a long time since I came to see me on the set." Natalie looked at the little guy curiously. When she came to Los Angeles before, the other party would come to the crew almost the next day, but this time She visits classes significantly less frequently.


    "I''m practicing." Taylor said very seriously, "Smart is a talent, not a privilege, so I have to work hard!"


    Several people showed encouraging smiles at the same time, and Ryan could feel that after returning from London, although Taylor was still very naughty, he was much more restrained than before, and the number of times he came out to play was significantly reduced.


    Maybe it''s getting older and more sensible, or maybe the last conversation in London played a role. She really worked harder than before.


    "Wait, Nat." Taylor jumped off the seat and ran to the exhibition area. "I will show you something interesting."


    The little girl turned a corner, turned behind a support column, and ran back soon, with a volleyball and a poster in her hand.


    When Scarlett simply cleared the table, Taylor put the volleyball and poster on it, "This is Ryan¡¯s only companion on the desert island, and there are posters. You should have seen it, my dear brother Ryan, change Uncle Cheng Ruien."


    "Still a weird uncle." Scarlett Johansson covered her mouth and snickered. "I hope your fans won''t be sad because of this."


    "I believe they will adapt quickly." Ryan grabbed the volleyball and looked at the red face made with his hands as props. "I can''t always play the roles of Frank and Jack Dawson. ."


    "This is a very wise choice." Natalie''s look clearly means that you are finally on the right path.


    "This is the change that must be made to win the Oscar for Best Actor." Ryan''s words caused Natalie to roll her eyes unconsciously and curl her mouth to say, "Well, Ryan, in your eyes, Art always serves money and individuals, right?"


    "Stop, Nat!" Ryan passed the volleyball "Wilson" directly to Natalie, "If we really want to debate, we will not have a result until today next year."


    "Okay." Natalie shrugged, her little hand gestured on the red face of the volleyball, "Is this the original prop?"


    "Hmm~"


    Before Ryan could answer, Taylor nodded and explained the gossip she had heard to Natalie, "Wilson''s face is made of Ryan''s palm with red dye. This is the original prop. It is said that Wilson Company paid three million dollars to obtain the copyright of this volleyball, and the movie will be released after it is released."


    "My dear, maybe I should choose you to take charge of this company." Ryan rubbed his forehead. This little guy cares too much. "Where did you hear the news?"


    "I''m not telling you." Taylor wrinkled his nose and moved closer to Natalie. "Tell you a secret, Nat. "Leaves of the Deserted Island" hasn''t been released yet, and half of the cost has been recovered."


    When it comes to making money in movies, Natalie knows that few people in Hollywood can compare to her boyfriend.


    "Will Nicole be back at the premiere?"


    Soon after the North Hollywood Incident in 1997, Natalie confirmed that Nicole Kidman was disgusted with her. Because of Ryan¡¯s relationship, she couldn¡¯t say anything, so she simply reduced the number of meetings between the two parties as much as possible. So as not to produce unpleasantness.


    In her opinion, Ryan has already become mad, and the possibility of intersection with the other party in the future will be infinitely reduced.


    "No." Ryan shook his head, "The Matrix is ??about to be closed, Nicole has no time, and she will spend Christmas with Annie in Sydney."


    "Annie?"


    "Nicole''s sister." Taylor explained first.


    The four people chatted for a while, preparing to leave the company and return to Beverly Hills. When Taylor returned the volleyball and posters, he asked eagerly, "Ryan, can I take Mr. Wilson?"


    "When I go out, I will ask someone to give you one."


    Hearing Ryan''s words, the little girl was not happy, but drooped her head and followed him, muttering not knowing what she was talking about.


    "What''s the matter, Tyler?" Natalie walked over and asked the little girl by the hand, "What are you...calculating?"


    "I''m calculating how much pocket money I have. UU reading "


    "Pocket money?"


    "Yes, Nat." The little guy wrinkled his nose. "I heard Aunt Julis say that the original Mr. Wells will be sent to a charity auction after the New Year. This is a unique volleyball. I think Buy it."


    Hearing what she said, Ryan and Natalie laughed. Tyler did converge a lot. If he changed to the previous one, he would definitely leave in his arms, no matter where there would be such a performance.


    This kind of performance was also specifically for Ryan and Natalie. Ryan took her other hand and said, "I promise, my dear, Mr. Wilson will be your New Year''s gift."


    "Leaves of a Deserted Island" will be released soon. As in the past, Ryan handed over the work of publicity to the professionals of Jenkins Pictures, and his management team and public relations team became active again, behind the traditional media and emerging websites. , You can see their shadows.


    In addition, Ryan personally invited a large number of members of the film school to participate in the premiere of the film. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 352： December

    After entering December, as popular movies were released one after another, the market competition became more and more fierce. Although "Blade Warrior" won nearly 28 million US dollars in the second week of the box office, it did not keep the box office leader''s throne, 40 million. U.S. dollar investment is obviously not competitive when faced with a super giant system of 130 million U.S. dollars.


    The success of "** Day" made Roland Emmerich, like Michael Bay, one of the hottest commercial film directors. Sony Columbia Pictures saw this and spent huge amounts of money. He served as the director of "Godzilla".


    Sony Columbia Pictures is clearly confident in the monsters from the island country. Not only did it hire a director who specializes in special effects, but it also paid $130 million in production costs and more than $50 million in promotional and marketing expenses. Obviously, it wanted To use this to completely turn around, change the situation in the seven major Hollywood studios, which is only slightly better than MGM.


    The film did not disappoint Sony Columbia Pictures in its first week. With a box office of more than $44 million, it not only firmly occupies the top position of the weekly box office rankings, but also brought a little monster craze.


    Sony Columbia Pictures naturally hopes that "Godzilla" will continue to be hot. If it can cause a continuous sensation like "Jurassic Park 2", it would be ideal. Even if the box office alone cannot be profitable in North America, how can it be? Should the cost be recovered?


    However, most people in the Hollywood industry are watching this movie. Firstly, Godzilla is a foreign object. Secondly, one week after the release of "Godzilla", Ryan Jenkins'' latest masterpiece "Remains of a Deserted Island" ¡·Will be fully landed on North American theaters!


    The reaction of the North American film market after entering the 1990s fully proved one thing. Whether it is a monster or an alien, when facing Ryan Jenkins, they are all vulnerable...


    Out of the Disney office building, Gene drove back home. Before you know it. He has been working at Disney for four years, watching Walt Disney and his idol with his own eyes. From a close cooperative relationship, it became a competitor.


    No matter how Walt Disney changes, his support for Ryan has not been shaken.


    Back home, had dinner with his father who made a special trip to Los Angeles to visit him. He simply cleaned the table and went back upstairs to change his formal clothes.


    "Dad, I got the tickets, we should go now."


    Hearing his son''s words, Old Gene smiled brilliantly, "Hurry up. This is the first time I have participated in a movie premiere."


    Leaving Burbank. Gene''s car drove into Hollywood and drove several laps near the Chinese Theater, but did not find a suitable parking lot, so he drove further.


    "Too many people come to see the red carpet." He explained to his father.


    "I know. Ryan..." Old Gene showed a clear look. "Your father hasn''t become an antique yet. He knows who Ryan Jenkins is. Not only you young people like his movies, but our age. People like it the same."


    Finally found a suitable parking lot. Although it was a little far away from the Chinese Theater, it was still early, so just walk over.


    "Dad, how do you watch this movie?" The father and son talked about the upcoming movie as they walked to the theater.


    "I don''t know, the trailer doesn''t see too much." Old Gene shook his head and said suddenly with certainty, "But I believe Ryan, his movies have always been synonymous with greatness."


    "I believe him too." Gene clenched his fists.


    "In the eyes of you guys, he is your God." Although Old Jean, like most people in this country, likes the young man very much, he is not crazy yet, "You worship him too much. "


    "Ryan is worthy of our admiration." Gene opened his hands to his father and began to tell the basic things. "He is kind, humble, and possesses talent and talent, but at the same time he has never given up on his efforts, even if he now has billions of wealth. I can''t think of anyone more suitable to represent the American Dream than him."


    Old Gene nodded unconsciously.


    When he came to the red carpet of the Chinese Theater, Gene found that there were too many people gathered on both sides. At this time, he couldn''t get a position slightly forward. In fact, he had no plans to squeeze in the past. If he wants to be in Ryan The premiere occupies the front row of the red carpet, and I am afraid I will be lining up here since last night.


    At this moment, screams that could almost cover the entire Hollywood area erupted around the red carpet. There was no need to look. Gene also knew that Ryan must have been on the red carpet.


    He raised his head and glanced at the giant movie poster hanging above the theater. It was a mature face that had experienced vicissitudes of life.


    Through the gap between the crowds, I saw Ryan himself again. On the firm face of the youth sunshine, there was a warm and kind smile, and the characters on the movie posters were completely two people.


    Like everyone standing on both sides of the red carpet, Gene always believes that Ryan can play every role even if it is difficult.


    "Let''s go in?"


    When Old Gene nodded, Gene couldn''t wait to take his father into the screening hall from another entrance, waiting for the movie to begin.


    Ryan answered a few questions from the reporter casually, turned around and walked into the theater. As soon as he entered, he saw Leonardo DiCaprio and Gwyneth Paltrow standing near the door, seeming to be making a special trip. Wait for him.


    "Hi Leon, Gwyneth."


    After greeting the two, Ryan deliberately asked in a slightly exaggerated tone, "Leon, how does it feel to be a superstar and a Golden Globe nomination?"


    With "Shakespeare in Love", Leonardo won a Golden Globe nomination for best comedy actor.


    "It''s awesome." Leonardo obviously knew that Ryan was joking, and also used an exaggerated tone. "You know, Ryan, those models look at me crazier than before."


    Ryan patted Leonardo on the arm and turned to the blonde in a moon-white dress. "It''s been a long time, Gwyneth."


    "Yeah, Gwynne has been very busy. The last time we had a party, she refused my invitation."


    Probably after seeing Ryan, Drew Barrymore came over. Her attitude towards Gwyneth Paltrow was far less intimate than that of Girls¡¯ Generation. "Congratulations, Gwyne, Golden Globe for Best Nominated for a comedy heroine."


    "Thank you!" Gwyneth''s chin curled up slightly.


    Ryan heard people say that in 1996, the two women had a big quarrel over the issue of the shares of Flower Pictures, and in the end they even alarmed their godfather Spielberg. In the end, Gwyneth just did something. Small shareholders have no right to speak.


    Drew suddenly lowered his voice, "If the godfather and Uncle Paltrow are willing to come forward, maybe you will get the Golden Globe."


    It sounded like she was mocking Gwyneth Paltrow, but she was actually helping her former sisters.


    Gwyneth Paltrow''s eyes flickered. As a Hollywood actress from a family, how could she not understand? Needless to say, the father will definitely help, but the godfather''s meaning is not very clear.


    "Sorry, I have other things."


    Although his position is biased towards Drew, Ryan is not interested in the grievances between the two women, "You guys continue to talk."


    "Forget it, I''ll go to Paris and Scarlett." Drew took the lead.


    "Ryan." Leonardo suddenly approached and whispered, "After the New Year, Victoria''s Secret has an event in New York. It is said that there will be many newly signed models appearing.


    "Say it then." Ryan waved his hand.


    The party before the premiere is much the same, Ryan greets people as he walks, and occasionally stops to talk with people.


    "Ryan, we should put "Mission Impossible 2" on the agenda." It was Shirley Lansing.


    Although "Mission: Impossible" is still far from the next stage, the filmmakers will not miss the chance of a sequel to such an obviously profitable movie.


    "Jenkins Pictures is making preparations." Ryan stopped and said briefly, "I have asked Julis to find a suitable director."


    In fact, Baige Wu has agreed to be the director of the second episode of this series.


    If the second episode can be successful, Baige Wu will further improve his status and gain more rights. It is impossible to say that the next movie will still have the final editing rights.


    By the way, his next movie seems to be "The Wind Whisperer", right?


    Ryan scratched his head. He couldn''t remember which company made this movie, but he would definitely make investors lose the urge to jump on the Golden Gate Bridge.


    "Hi, Ryan, what are you thinking about?"


    A slender white hand was placed on his arm, Ryan turned his head, and the person here was Charlize Theron.


    "I''m wondering if Tarzan can defeat Godzilla." Ryan joked.


    "By the way, Ryan, maybe you can give some advice."


    As he walked towards the quiet place, Charlize Theron said, "Director Peter Jackson sent an audition invitation to my agent."


    "he?"


    Ryan was a little surprised Peter Jackson has decided to let Cate Blanchett play Kellan Trell.


    "Yes." Charlize Theron nodded seriously and explained, "He invited me to audition for Arwen Dusk."


    "Arwen?" Ryan couldn''t help looking at Charlize''s blond hair.


    Well, it¡¯s too easy for a blonde to turn into black hair and gray eyes, but why did Peter Jackson choose her as one of the candidates? It doesn¡¯t seem to be the case in the previous life?


    "This New Zealand fat man." Ryan shook his head subconsciously and muttered, "I haven''t given me a reply from Aragon so far. It seems I need to put some pressure on him.


    He was about to show the authority of investors and producers on the basis of respecting the director, Charlize Theron''s surprised voice sounded, "Aragon? Are you going to play Aragon?"


    "Uh..." Ryan quickly returned to his senses, "This is just my unilateral wish. Director Peter Jackson hasn''t agreed yet." ()

 Chapter 353： Life-saving coconut

    Seeing Ryan walking towards the group of young girls, Charlize Theron gently bit his lower lip, and suddenly felt that accepting Peter Jackson''s invitation should be a good idea.


    There are also those few girls, she just talked a few words in the past, she didn¡¯t know whether it was due to age or other reasons, she could feel that they seemed to be faintly repelling her, that Scarlett Johansson was the most obvious. Up.


    Since he is not a fellow traveler, Charlize Theron will not deliberately please, even if the circle knows that they are his friends.


    "What are you discussing?"


    Ryan stood beside Natalie, and the girls seemed to be chatting very happily, "Is there anything happy, can you tell me something about it?"


    "Drew is telling us about Paris''s embarrassment during training." Taylor pointed to Paris Hilton, whose face was obviously embarrassed.


    "Don''t talk about me, Drew is no less ugly than me." Paris Hilton looked at Drew angrily. "She is not active at all. She is lying in a chair all day, just like a lazy bone. "


    "Hey, dear, you can''t judge your boss in this way..."


    Before Drew finished speaking, Paris Hilton interrupted, "Come on, Drew, Ryan is the real boss."


    "Okay, you two." Ryan stopped their continued dispute and asked seriously, "Parlie, can you adapt?"


    To be honest, he has seen Nicole¡¯s efforts for The Matrix, but she has dancing skills and is also a very professional actor. Unlike Paris Hilton, she is a spoiled eldest lady after all.


    "Fortunately, the first few days were simply a nightmare. After getting used to it, it''s much better." Paris Hilton complained habitually, "Ryan, you''ve been such a tiger since you have sex, and his request is too great. It''s too much, and the power you give him is too great."


    Drew next to him kept nodding his head, obviously also experiencing the hardship of training.


    "This is someone else''s wall that I spent a lot of money to dig. Pali, and Drew." Ryan knows how difficult these two guys are, and the tiger''s skin is a problem, "I don''t care what you think. , But during this filming, don¡¯t mess things up."


    "Of course I understand this." Drew showed the businessman''s originality, "We have invested so much money, and we definitely can''t get rid of it."


    "I will work hard. Even if I want to enjoy it, I have to wait until I become a big star." It can be said that becoming famous is now Paris Hilton''s biggest wish.


    Now that there is a legitimate opportunity to become famous, this pink demon will be much more stable for the time being. In order to prevent unpleasant things from happening, when Tiger Chen returned to Los Angeles from Australia, Ryan specifically called Drew to tell him, in his previous life, this However, the crew is often conflicted because of Lucy Liu''s skin problems.


    This is the reality of Hollywood, and invisible discrimination is everywhere.


    And Tiger Chen, after the "The Matrix" ended all the action shots, Ryan let people come into contact with him, anyway, Hollywood has absolutely great attraction for people who want to develop in the film industry. With much effort, he signed a contract with Jenkins Pictures.


    As for whether Yuan Heping has any ideas, Ryan doesn¡¯t care. After the "The Matrix" is over, where they come from and where to go, and use the fur that he has specially learned from professionals to deal with Hollywood. The action movie is enough.


    Natalie has been standing quietly next to Ryan, without saying a word, although she doesn¡¯t like Drew and Paris very much, nor can she say that she hates it, after so many years, how can she not tell, they are most You can also become Ryan''s ordinary friend.


    Thinking of this, she turned her head slightly and looked to the other side. The tall and beautiful blonde was standing there alone, looking at them curiously.


    Probably noticing her gaze, Charlize Theron nodded suddenly, Natalie nodded in greeting, and then turned back.


    "Time is almost up." Natalie reminded in a low voice, Ryan looked at her watch, "Well, you guys go in first, I''ll go to the crew."


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    "It''s going!" Father reminded him.


    Gene took his gaze back from the front row, and then put all his power on the big screen, the opening of Jenkins Pictures just lit up.


    After the short subtitles, the most striking thing in the picture is the pair of pairs resembling butterflies and angel wings. Then an unusually conspicuous FedEx van drove into the field of vision. The word fedex was more than TV. Ads should also be eye-catching.


    "Damn it, what is Ryan going to do? Do you want to turn the movie into a commercial completely."


    Old Gene is no different from other Americans. He has many years of movie watching history and is very unfamiliar with the placement of advertisements in today''s movies.


    "Quiet, Dad."


    The people around showed dissatisfied eyes. Old Gene closed his mouth obediently. He knew that fans were the most unreasonable.


    The mail with butterfly wings left Mrs. Peterson, embarked on a long journey to Moscow, and finally sent to Mr. Peterson and his lover''s house. The pair of red se wings appeared in the close-up of the camera many times. in.


    Gene paid attention, this pair of wings must have an important connection with the plot behind.


    The running Russian boy passed the Red Square, the Lenin Cemetery and the Volga River, bringing the audience''s attention to the hero.


    This is a man wearing a gray sequin sweater with sharp short hair. His words are as fast and loud as a dash of pearls. He is impatient and has strict requirements for work. The quasi-efficiency and speed will always be his. In addition, there is absolute control over Yu. It seems that all the work is under his control.


    Even if the truck transporting the mail got stuck in the ice and snow on the Red Square, he could solve it smoothly if he ordered it down.


    "Wow~"


    "This is Ryan?"


    "His temperament has changed so obviously."


    Old Gene nodded. Judging from the scenes in these few minutes, Ryan''s change was undoubtedly successful, and even his actual age was completely ignored.


    "It''s really different from before."


    Strictly speaking, Gene is also an industry insider, so he can naturally see more things, "As long as the fan community is not disgusted, Ryan can maintain such acting skills..."


    "God, Ryan is so charming..."


    "Yes, Ryan, who has a mature temperament, is even more charming than now."


    "Why didn''t he become mature soon."


    Listening to the admiration of the young girls around, Gene was completely relieved, Ryan will always be their Ryan, no matter young or mature.


    The next step is to show the emotional life of the male protagonist. He has a beloved girlfriend, Kelly, but because of work, he gathers less and more.


    There is also that terrible tooth that tortures Chuck from time to time. He mentioned that he would go to the dentist several times, but he didn''t make it because of his work.


    "I will fix it at Kelly''s time!"


    Bringing the pocket watch studded with her photo from Kelly, Chuck embarked on a long-distance flight again. Before leaving, he also gave his girlfriend a gift, but he didn''t let him open it immediately.


    The plane flew over the Pacific Ocean, encountered a terrible thunderstorm, and lost its course. Although the pilot initiated an emergency landing, it still did not escape the fate of the crash and plunged into the sea.


    I don¡¯t know if Chuck is lucky enough or has to accept the teasing of fate. He opened the life raft in time, and fortunately rushed out of the sinking plane and surfaced on the sea. What greeted him was violent storms and endless waves. Chuck could only hold on to the life raft, letting the waves rush him into the distance.


    Finally, he reached an island.


    "He won''t die, will he?" a girl next to her asked nervously in a low voice.


    "Absolutely not." Gene lowered his voice, "Think about the name and subject matter of the movie."


    The girl nodded vigorously, her eyes closed because of fear, staring at the big screen again.


    The light dispelled the fear brought by the darkness, and the man who had survived the catastrophe found helplessly, the island that saved his life seemed to be a deserted island with no humans, except for the soaked clothes and the yellow life raft, there was only a stick on his body. Kelly¡¯s photo of the pocket watch is out.


    He walked across the beach, yelling constantly, but no one responded, but at this moment, he had not forgotten his duty, and picked up one after another postal parcel from the sea that was resurrected by the waves.


    The word FedEx on the parcel is still eye-catching.


    Chuck searched the entire island and completely confirmed that it was a lonely island on the sea. Destiny seemed to have made a big joke with him. While not taking his life, it sent him to such an isolated island. The place.


    Survival is the number one problem that Chuck faces. The coconut that falls after ripening gives him hope of survival.


    A one-man show belonging to Ryan has completely kicked off.


    Gene felt his heart unconsciously lifted it up. While staring at the picture, he imagined in his mind that if he encountered this situation, would he be able to survive?


    Then, he followed all the people in the theater and laughed Chuck had no tools, so he could only use the most primitive way to open the coconut, and when he lifted a rock and smashed it on the hard shell of the coconut, it shattered But it is a stone.


    After laughing, I feel sad, sad for the man in the picture who does not give up, and sad for the helplessness of mankind in front of nature.


    "Without the necessary tools, humans..." The father beside him sighed with emotion.


    What if I don¡¯t have tools? Then find tools and make tools!


    Chuck tried his best to get a knife and chisel made of stone, and tried his best to open the hard shell of the coconut.


    How would it feel when he kneeled on the beach, held up the coconut, and drank the life-saving coconut juice?


    Unknowingly, Gene clapped his palms, and then there was warm applause in the projection hall. At this moment, it seemed that all the audience had drank their own coconut milk in hunger and thirst, and could no longer help themselves.


    The applause is dedicated to Chuck, who is hopeful for survival, and also to the actor who has dedicated a brilliant performance so far. (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 354： Rebirth

    Surviving alone requires not only tools, but also great courage. When Chuck ran to the silhouette of the person rushing on the beach, what was waiting for him was a cold corpse. Even Robinson was accompanied by Friday. Doomed to live on a desert island and survive alone.


    Chuck made use of all available resources. In order to survive, he drank the dirty fresh water accumulated on the fallen leaves and collected the dew with the shell of the empty coconut. Although in vain, he rushed into the sea to spear fish again and again.


    Before he knew it, he gradually changed.


    Until one night, the lights on the distant sea ignited his hope of getting out of the predicament.


    "Does he want to get out of the predicament?" Gene asked subconsciously.


    "Definitely not, I guess this is another turning point." The girl who answered the question this time was the previous girl.


    Although Chuck lit his only flashlight and kept shouting ¡®¡¯, it had no effect.


    In order to return to a human society, he decided to give it a go, solemnly put away Kelly¡¯s pocket watch, Chuck paddled a life raft, and desperately chased after him. However, when facing the nature and facing the waves, the personal strength is small. Yes, even if he didn''t give up, even if he tried his best, he still couldn''t surpass the mountain-like waves.


    The waves overturned the life raft, and the waves pushed Chuck into the bottom of the sea, hitting the coral reef heavily. The blood rising at this moment caused countless people to cover their mouths.


    "He''s so brave!"


    "He is so pathetic!"


    Everyone has different feelings and experiences.


    High winds, heavy rains, leg injuries, toothaches, diarrhea caused by coconut milk, etc., all tortured Chuck, Kelly''s pocket watch and photos became his only comfort and hope. In order to survive, he had to put his idea on the mail headers he picked up.


    A few cassettes are of no use for the time being.


    divorse agreement? Will people living on deserted islands be useful? Throw aside in disgust.


    The volleyball marked with the ¡®Wilson¡¯ brand seems to be useless.


    A pair of skates, the ice skates on the soles are sharp enough, this should work.


    There is also a ladies'' veil dress, which can be put aside.


    The last e-mail, with eye-catching wings painted on it, maybe this unique pair of wings, Chuck hesitated. In the end, the email was not opened, but rather solemnly closed.


    "What do you think will be there?" The girl next to Gene looked at him, Gene shook his head and motioned to continue watching the movie.


    Using these existing tools, Chuck has improved his living conditions. The laces of skates can bandage wounds, the sharp ice skates can easily cut coconuts, and the veils are used as fishing nets.


    Chuck caught the fish and ate one raw. Immediately understand that you are facing a new problem-fire and cooked food!


    There are a lot of crabs on the beaches of the island, and Chuck can catch them without even spending a lot of effort, but there is no fire!


    Drilling wood for fire is the oldest method. It has become the only way for Chuck, but it is easy in theory, but difficult to do!


    day! night! day! Fire, no...


    "God. Please help him..."


    Looking at the persevering man and the protagonist who was tortured by survival, many people prayed.


    As if hearing the call of the audience. The man on the screen found the right way. He rubbed the wooden trough with a sharpened stick.


    "Should it be successful now?" This is the thought of many viewers.


    However, the facts are always contrary to wishes. In the crisp sound, the wooden stick broke. This time the injured was replaced by Chuck¡¯s hand. He yelled in pain, beating everything around him to vent, and finally he covered it with With a **** hand, he picked up the''Wilson'' volleyball and threw it out forcefully.


    People can''t be angered endlessly. Quiet Chuck, what he has to face is to survive in the wild, and starting a fire is just the beginning. After venting his anger, he must always face reality.


    He picked up a volleyball with a bright red palm print on it. What did he wipe with his hand? It was the volleyball''s stomata. The fingerprints of the fingers really looked like hair. The volleyball pattern underneath did indeed look like a mouth. He drew his right eye on the volleyball, looked at it, and drew his left eye and mouth.


    This is a very simple shot, but it brings an unusual feeling to the audience. A guy who was full of anger just now calmed down quickly. The smiling face on the volleyball can reflect his mentality at this time.


    ¡®Wilson¡¯! The most important supporting role of the film was born.


    Chuck tried to make fire again. Whenever he was tired and wanted to give up, he would look back at Wilson, and then continue to work hard.


    "You don''t happen to have a match, do you?"


    How inspiring it is to be optimistic. This is the first time Chuck has spoken to volleyball, and volleyball has become a turning point in the story, and the protagonist has completely accepted the reality!


    After repeated failures, the life-saving fire was finally ignited, and the seed of human civilization was burning.


    "!"


    It was not just Chuck who yelled this sentence, but also the countless audience in the theater.


    "Opening coconuts and cooking food on fire are not considered fresh, but Ryan''s excellent acting skills have brought a completely different effect." Old Gene was like a professional film critic at this moment.


    "Also, with a few lines and simple expressions, he brought to life a supporting actor who can''t speak." Gene added.


    "That''s right! That''s right!" The girl next to her nodded in agreement.


    With fire, you can eat cooked food, should Chuck relax?


    No, when he finally had the grilled crabs and even had time to savor it, the toothache that tortured him from the beginning of the film recurred. There is no dentist here!


    Chuck, who was tortured by a toothache, was so painful that he had to do it himself, and the ice skates came in handy again...


    "Is he crazy?"


    This is not a tough guy action movie, this is a life story.


    Four years have passed. Volleyball Wilson is the only thing with a name on the island except Chuck himself. It only proves that Chuck is still Chuck. However, people are social animals after all and have lost the social value system. Chuck, once wanted to climb the cliff and hang himself, but he persisted in living, in this world, on this isolated desert island!


    The photo of his fianc¨¦e in his pocket watch became his hope of survival, and Volleyball Wilson became his only friend. Four years was enough to change too much. Chuck became a master fisherman.


    Wilson is old and broken, but he is more like a supporting role. The hair of the five-finger symbol has become the ¡®hair¡¯ of hay, and he has become the protagonist¡¯s inseparable partner.


    "God, is this Ryan?"


    When the Tarzan-like protagonist appeared in the picture, the sensation caused in the theater can be imagined.


    However, with the previous life on the deserted island as a foreshadowing, most of the audience quickly calmed down, even think about it. After living on a desert island for four years, even if the real Jack Dawson comes, he will become like this.


    A messy beard, hair comparable to a bird''s nest, eating raw fish, and the only person who can talk is a shabby volleyball. This is what Chuck is now.


    The impatience in the past, the workaholic was completely gone.


    A floating metal plate gave Chuck another hope of leaving the deserted island, and he made the trees into a raft. The ropes and video tapes woven from bark are tightly locked, carefully calculating the time of the monsoon, and preparing the necessary supplies.


    The metal plate is the only sail!


    "We still have time!" He kept saying these words to his companions.


    When the monsoon came, Chuck left his last words on the rock.


    "Chuck Nolan has been here for 1,500 days. I have fled to the sea, tell Kelly Faith in Memphis, I love her!"


    With Wilson, with the package that has never been opened. With all hope, Chuck pushed off the raft and rushed into the sea. Rushing to human society, to a lover who has never forgotten.


    Chuck didn''t hesitate to hesitate. When welcoming the last and biggest wave on the coast, the metal sail opened. The wings on the sail were so bright that it could not be blocked by strong winds and waves.


    "What does this pair of wings that run through the movie represent?" Gene said to himself.


    If Ryan heard him, he would only tell him that a hundred people have a hundred Hamlet in their hearts. Smart screenwriters and directors will always only say half or even one third in the movie, and the rest of the audience can understand by themselves.


    When they successfully passed the huge wave, Chuck laughed and said to his partner, "We made it, Wilson!"


    Facing the deserted island where he lived for 1,500 days, he must have complicated feelings, right? Is it hatred or gratitude? 1500 days of life was abandoned, and he gradually faded away.


    Chuck didn''t want to stay on the island and wait for death, but the sea was ruthless, storms, and waves washed away most of his energy. Wilson, the only partner who had been with him for four years, sank to the bottom of the sea and left forever he.


    "I''m sorry, Wilson! I''m sorry, Wilson!"


    How can people who have not experienced that kind of loneliness or that kind of pain understand this kind of pain?


    Looking at the crying man lying on the raft, thinking about the supporting actor without lines and expressions, I don''t know why, many people including Gene, their eyes are so moist.


    A supporting role named Wilson gave them an indelible impression, and the reason for this was all because of the superb performance of the man lying on the raft.


    Chuck was lucky. He was rescued by a passing cargo ship and returned to human society. Then the FedEx publicity time came.


    This time, it was not just the FedEx logo and employees, but even the founder himself.


    Chuck saw Kelly, who had never forgotten, and his lover had married a dentist and returned to human society. He had a different feeling, and his temperament had changed.


    The food here is everywhere, and the fire can be ignited automatically by just pressing...


    In the end, Chuck still didn''t hold back and went to Kelly''s house.


    Perhaps the dialogue between Chuck and Kelly will attract a lot of people''s associations, but the point here is that Chuck let go. Kelly chose responsibility, chose family, and returned to her husband and daughter.


    "Why didn''t Kelly choose Chuck?"


    Hearing the question from the girl next to him, Gene asked, "Do you think Kylie should choose Chuck?"


    After hesitating for a while, the girl finally shook her head.


    Whether when Ryan wrote the script, or when Robert Zemeckis was shooting and editing, there was enough conjecture left in the details.


    For example, Chuck wanted to find the owner of Wing Mail, but met Mrs. Peterson, and finally stayed at a crossroads in his life.


    There is also this email, what exactly is in it, and the movie didn''t explain it in the end.


    Clever film shooting methods always leave enough room for the audience to imagine, and let them associate or supplement some things. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 355： Whats in the mail

    The subtitles fell slowly, and the theater was silent. It seems that everyone is still reminiscing the shock and sentiment brought by the movie, not to mention the older people, even the faces of many young people are covered with thoughtfulness. Expressions.


    Suddenly, the first applause sounded, and then thunderous applause sounded in the theater.


    The prolonged applause didn''t mean to stop at all.


    "This is the best movie I''ve seen this year." Old Gene was completely shouting to his son, "Remember to buy two tickets for tomorrow. Let''s watch it again."


    "Don''t say anything else, Ryan''s performance alone is worth all the fare. He... is so shocking!" The girl next to her also uttered almost screaming words.


    The applause has continued, and the last time a movie can win such enthusiastic applause on the scene, it can be traced back to last year''s "Titanic".


    The movie affects not only the audience, but also the film critics who came here specially. They were completely stunned by Ryan''s performance. If you only look at the temperament shown in the movie, how many people can think of his actual age?


    Also, he simply supported the whole movie with a one-man show.


    "Ryan, your performance was great, congratulations."


    The applause finally stopped, Natalie was the first to give a hug, then Drew, Scarlett, Leonardo and other friends, and then every member of the crew, and the invitation Guests...


    "This is incredible..."


    "Your performance was too shocking..."


    Such words are endless, and you can tell from the tone that this is not polite.


    "Dear Ryan."


    After Ryan and Robert Zemeckis had finished speaking, Taylor was the last one to come over, waved his small hand and patted Ryan''s palm again, "You should have a big party. To celebrate this successful performance. ."


    "Okay, Tyler, let''s get in the car first." Natalie pulled up the little girl, "Ryan will also go to the press conference."


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    The hall where the press conference was held was full. Many reporters without seats. The corridors were even full, and they wished to destroy the nonsense host humanely. Good to interview the protagonist of the movie right away.


    "The following is free time for questioning."


    The host finally said what the reporter had been waiting for, and he stood up after being swiped by the reporter who was named.


    "Ryan, the theme of the movie is old-fashioned, but the soul in it is shocking. How did you think of this modern Robinson story?" He asked about the screenwriter.


    "I think you guys seem to have overlooked one thing." Ryan raised the microphone slightly, and said unhurriedly, "The screenwriter has the name of Mr. Tom Hanks, the original source of creativity for this movie. For Tommy, I just straightened out the story, plumped it up by the way, and wrote this script."


    "Tom Hanks?" Obviously many reporters have overlooked it. This is a good subject for hype.


    This is also the purpose of Ryan. It can not only divert attention, but also lead to hot topics, increase the popularity of the movie, Big Tom will not mind.


    "Ryan. We can see that you have completely broken through your previous image in the movie. What preparations have you made for this movie." The reporter who asked the question was obviously his own, and the words he asked were prepared in advance.


    "This is a relatively painful process. I gained ten pounds first, and then lost fifteen pounds. I learned how to survive in the wild. I am definitely a great fisherman now..."


    With the help of this kind of non-nutritive topic, Ryan has a long way to go, but this kind of tidbits in the shooting is the favorite gossip of the media and the audience.


    "You can see FedEx everywhere from the beginning to the end of the movie. May I ask how much you charge them for advertising?"


    "This is a trade secret!" Ryan shook his finger at the reporter.


    It is impossible for the reporter to direct all the firepower at him. Naomi Watts and Robert Zemikis also received the baptism of the question.


    The press conference is gradually coming to an end. This is also the time for reporters to raise gossip questions unscrupulously. However, there is one problem that concerns them more than gossip.


    "May I ask, what is in that winged email?" A reporter looked at Robert Zemikis.


    "Family, affection, and life." The director gave a standard answer.


    "Ryan, is this really the case?" The reporter looked over without giving up.


    "Robert''s answer is sentimental."


    Ryan shrugged playfully and laughed, "Actually..."


    All reporters pricked their ears and stared at Ryan in a daze.


    "Inside is a waterproof solar-powered satellite phone!"


    Of course he said it in a joking tone, and even so, the reporters opened their mouths one by one.


    "Just kidding." Ryan stood up. "Robert''s is the real answer."


    The plot of satellite phone can be added to "Scream", which can definitely bring a huge contrast. Isn''t that what a spoof movie needs?


    Although the reporters and paparazzi along the way quarreled with each other, Ryan was distracted by himself, and only sighed after getting into the car.


    "Send Taylor home first."


    Only Natalie and Taylor were in the car, and the little girl pouted and did not protest.


    Ryan rubbed Taylor''s blonde hair, leaned close to Natalie, and asked in a low voice, "Where is your car?"


    "Back to the Hilton Hotel."


    Nodded, Ryan said to George, "After sending Tyler home, find a way to get rid of the tail behind."


    George nodded in the rearview mirror and picked up the intercom.


    Sent back to Tyler, circled Beverly Hills, and after throwing away the paparazzi behind, the RV drove back home.


    Before entering the manor, Natalie said suddenly, "Ryan, you did a stupid thing."


    Needless to say, Ryan also noticed this, because a lot of paparazzi gathered at the entrance of the manor, and the flashing lights almost suppressed the headlights of the car.


    Ryan looked at George. George didn''t show any expression, just the way you told me to do things.


    "My dear, I''m just used to it." Ryan didn''t care about the reporters'' cameras either. His car had all been specially treated, and those guys couldn''t take pictures of the car. "I forget that after we turn around, we still have to go home. They just have to wait here."


    "You know, Ryan." Natalie leaned over. Whispered. "You are cute when you are stupid."


    "Cute?" Ryan''s face turned black in an instant, "This seems to be a description of women? Do you think it is suitable for me. Nat?"


    "I think it''s appropriate."


    When the RV parked in front of the villa, Natalie pushed the car door and walked towards the bedroom upstairs first. It has been a long time since she came to Los Angeles to go out. This is the first time she has stayed here overnight.


    Like the hostess of this manor, Natalie walked openly into the master bedroom on the top floor.


    Ryan closed the door with his backhand, hugged the Long Island girl from behind, lowered her head to blow away her brown curly hair, and gently kissed her ear beads.


    "You are always so impatient." Natalie turned her head slightly.


    "Who makes my Nat so attractive."


    Squeezing her pointed chin, Ryan used a little force, and Natalie turned her head to cooperate. He kissed her all the way from her forehead, holding the two soft lips, and gently sucking it gently, as if treating a fragile porcelain doll.


    Some things are too much. Ryan can naturally figure out the pattern, although Natalie sometimes behaves wildly, but most of the time, she still likes a gentle and soothing rhythm.


    Under Ryan¡¯s guidance, Natalie turned around and hung her arms around his neck. She also responded to Ryan¡¯s gentleness with her own lips and dexterous tongue. She took almost all of her weight. It was hung on Ryan''s neck, and the whole body was attached to Ryan''s body.


    "I love you, Ryan."


    After the two people''s tongues separated, Natalie gave him another light peck, "I''m going to take a bath."


    "Wait." Ryan followed, talking nonsense that he didn''t even believe him, "The bathroom has been replaced with new equipment. I''ll show it to you."


    Natalie rolled her eyes, and instead of objecting, she took the initiative to pull Ryan and walked into the bathroom.


    More than half an hour later, the large double bathtub was filled with white foam. Natalie felt that she had exhausted all her energy, her mouth was slightly open and panting, her cheek flushed on Ryan¡¯s exposed chest. Listening to the strong heartbeat.


    After a while, she felt that she had returned to the ground from the clouds.


    Ryan kissed her forehead. Just about to change to a more comfortable position, she moved a little bit when she didn¡¯t know, and Natalie took a bite on her chest, "Don¡¯t, Ryan, don¡¯t move anymore. ."


    After speaking, before Ryan could react, she turned down and lay on the other side of the bathtub.


    "Nate." Ryan raised her chin, and after another soft and sweet kiss, stared at her brown eyes, "My Nat is the most beautiful."


    Natalie rubbed Ryan''s chin with her forehead, "I know I''m not pretty."


    Finding a comfortable position, Natalie lay in Ryan¡¯s arms and continued, ¡°My facial lines are a bit hard, my chest is too small, and I am thin, and I don¡¯t like makeup Even Scarlett, who has not yet grown up, is more beautiful than me..."


    "But I like you like this." Ryan said very seriously, "Beauty, Hollywood is everywhere, but my Nat is unique!"


    "You can talk."


    There is no woman who doesn''t like to listen to this kind of words. Natalie''s smiling eyes are almost missing. She feels something, and she quickly changes the subject to distract Ryan, "Is there any hope this time?"


    Ryan shook his head, "It is impossible for the academy to award the best actor or best actress to an actor who is less than twenty years old."


    "Being able to be nominated consecutively before the age of twenty is already a very good result." Lying next to the closest person, Natalie did not hide her envy in her tone.


    "Actually, Nat." Ryan suddenly thought of a suitable subject, "I have an idea that suits you well."


    "Hmm..." Natalie thought for a while, "Let me try again for a few years, please? Ryan, you are my favorite person. If I need it, I will never refuse." ()

 Chapter 356： His acting skills are amazing

    The next day, Gene got up very early. He turned on his computer and logged on to Ryan''s personal website. Last night, he officially logged on to the North American Theater''s "Remains of a Deserted Island", and there have been many related comments.


    "What does the pair of wings mean? What is in the unopened postal packet?"


    There are almost as many people asking this question as those who praise the excellent acting in Ryan''s films.


    Unfortunately, no one can give an accurate answer.


    Then, Gene saw a long comment, and despite the suspicion of spoiler, it told a lot of people''s feelings.


    "When Chuck fell on a desert island, what I thought was, what should I do if there is no fresh water? You can''t drink sea water? Sure enough, it was rescued by coconuts, and then coconut shells were used to collect dew and rainwater.


    After living for a few days, what I think is, this requires fire and cooked food, right? Sure enough, Chuck drilled wood to make fire, and finally succeeded after experiencing some hardships.


    When a pile of express boxes floated ashore, what I thought was, this can be opened to see if there is anything that can be used? But it''s too fake to be useful, right? Sure enough, Chuck opened most of the boxes, most of which were not directly usable, but after modification, the ice skates of the skates, the gauze of the gauze skirt, and the tape reel of the video tape were all used.


    When the pilot''s body was found, there was a precious flashlight in the relic. What I thought was that this was the only electrical appliance! But the battery will run out! Sure enough, the flashlight became an important tool, and then the battery ran out.


    When Chuck first started surviving on a desert island, what I thought was, will he become a savage if time goes on? Sure enough, 4 years later, Chuck became Tarzan.


    When Chuck was rescued, what I thought was, would Kelly think Chuck was dead? Will you marry someone else? Sure enough, Kylie married a dentist and even had a daughter.


    Except for some metaphors and unexplained suspense, the plot of the movie is not too surprising. As we imagined, to survive on a desert island is to do this!


    However, what we thought of, the movie thought of, but Ryan did what we didn''t think of.


    The whole scene of the desert island, without music, with a beard and disheveled Ryan brought out many fascinating one-man shows, which easily caught my eye.


    He... is better than we thought.


    Except for Ryan''s wonderful performance. The movie is as good as Ryan''s other works. It shows us how life is and how difficult it is. It always reminds you of the little things around you and brings us some feelings.


    Life is so cruel. When you think that you will never live anymore, there is always a belief that is still supporting, and that is to see your lover again. So keep breathing, breathing, persisting, persisting. work hard!


    However, when we meet again, the only belief that supports you collapses. And you. No one can be blamed.


    Robinson still has Friday to accompany, and Chuck has only one lifeless volleyball, Wilson, in desperate loneliness. Chuck gave Wilson life, and Wilson''s smiling face also proved the meaning of Chuck''s existence, but sadly, this only partner finally left Chuck.


    After returning to human society from a deserted island, Chuck faced helplessness, but it was also real¡ªlife is not an illusion¡ªKelly has a new life, and it is impossible to give up family responsibilities in order to return to the past. The love that goes away hurts the lover and children now.


    Chuck can only leave, can only bless, can only continue to breathe, can only find his own way.


    Going forward, fortunately, there is still hope. Just like the ending of the movie, there are many roads to choose from at highway intersections, and life is the same.


    Go all the way, Chuck.


    Finally, I have liked Ryan''s movies since the 1990s. Maybe it¡¯s because of my age. "Remains of a Deserted Island" is the one that touches me the most, even surpassing the "Sixth Sense". I know Ryan Most of the supporters of is young people, I want to tell you, go watch this movie, watch it a few more times, it will make you have a different perception of life. "


    After reading this long string of text, Gene''s fingers unconsciously rubbed the movie ticket in his pocket, and suddenly he had the urge to write something.


    "The joke of fate is always real and cruel. It is never funny."


    Clicking on the message board, Gene wrote this sentence, and after thinking about it for a while, he added.


    "After watching Ryan''s near-perfect performance and Chuck''s experience, I suddenly thought that true loneliness is as cruel as our loneliness in reality. Perhaps we should no longer complain about the boringness of life, because we can You can go online, you can get together, you can make all kinds of friends, you can travel, you can..."


    "Just like Ryan said in the movie,''When I was most helpless, I still kept breathing. I knew I had to live. Then, the tide brought me a sail.'' In the midst of life''s troubles, we You should maintain the determination to live well, and if you have faith in life, life will reward you with something unknown."


    "I think everyone should watch this movie more times."


    After ten years of hard work, the name Ryan Jenkins has a special meaning to Hollywood. Whenever a movie he starred in is released, it will not only become a festival for fans, but also a time for media and film critics to revel. .


    His influence in the United States is so great that as long as the news he writes is related to him, newspapers and magazines will not worry about not selling.


    "Saving Private Ryan" released earlier this year was a huge success. The role of James Ryan can be regarded as the beginning of the transformation of the actor''s road. Whether it can succeed or not, "Remains of the Deserted Island" is of utmost importance. .


    Before the movie was released, many film critics were eager to know that there are very few actors who can transform successfully. It is definitely a funny thing to see a successful person failing in a mess. If he does not perform in the movie as well as in the trailer. So, it gave them the opportunity to attack with integrity.


    He wants to be successful, and the comments of his own people are also very important! This is the wishful thinking of many film critics.


    When they watched the movie and walked out of the theater, most people knew in their hearts that the guy seemed to have succeeded again. As long as the movie box office is not bad, he is enough to earn the most important awards this year with this role.


    "Ryan Jenkins was performing alone for two-thirds of the time in the film. His acting skills are amazing!" Roger Albert''s comment from the Chicago Tribune was unusually short, but unusually short. Of direct.


    "Although I don''t know what method Ryan took, at his age, he played such a special role almost perfectly. He succeeded! When I was watching the movie, I couldn''t believe it. The male on the big screen The protagonist once starred in Frank Jr. and Jack Dawson. The huge contrast between the roles makes people have to admire his excellent acting skills!"


    -"New York Post"


    "There is no romantic love, no free and easy life, only the satisfaction of details. Ryan uses the touching and implicit expression of emotion and the helpless and helpless love to show us the real life and the feelings of life. Ryan, keep breathing, keep it going, it won''t take long for you to get the honor that belongs to you!"


    -"Hollywood Report"


    "This movie has no struggle between good and evil, no romantic love, no luxurious desire for gratification, no flying stunts, no endless talk of reasoning, only one''s fear, loneliness and despair, and resistance to nature. .In two-thirds of the length, only Ryan Jenkins is performing...It is Ryan¡¯s superb performance alone that makes such a film without language and uncomplicated plot become magical. I know that not all actors have the courage to challenge such a role!"


    -"Los Angeles Times"


    Although the public relations role of Ryan''s team is indispensable in the applause, his performance in the film is indeed good enough, and some media even made small jokes.


    "After the movie started, I thought I saw a FedEx super-long commercial. Later I found out that the protagonist of this commercial was Wilson Sports Equipment. Well, next year¡¯s Oscar is still far away, but the supporting role award is the best. A strong contender has appeared, and that is Mr. Wilson."


    "Legend of the Deserted Island" tells us a truth, how to become an excellent supporting role? That is to find a great protagonist like Ryan Jenkins to play with you, you only need to remain silent, you can attract everyone. attention."


    In addition to jokes, there are some fragmentary voices attacking the movie. For example, some media believe that ¡®the movie¡¯s storyline is old-fashioned and there is nothing new, and the sermons in it are endless and tiresome. ¡¯


    And some people also jumped out for the first time, expressing their own ¡®good opinions¡¯!


    "Many people say that Ryan Jenkins'' performance in the movie "Leaves of a Deserted Island" can only be described as amazingWhy can''t I see this? In fact, people with a discerning eye should be able to see it and show off. After the face-like performance, Ryan Jenkins became obsessed with showing off his figure again. Well, your figure is indeed perfect. When you only appear on the big screen with a rag around your waist, New York is estimated to have Over a million girls are screaming for you, but does this have anything to do with acting? Please, please wear more clothes when you play a movie next time!"


    This comes from Gary Granham, the descendant of the Mayflower. After the Titanic last year, the New York Times closed his column, and this gentleman immediately noticed the emerging media of the Internet. , With the funding of the people who are interested, established his own review website, and from time to time he jumped out to make some shocking remarks.


    In fact, one thing he said is true. Ryan''s perfect figure on the desert island has indeed caused countless girls to scream. Even if some women have opinions about his savage appearance, they are affected by his sturdy figure. The fan was dizzy.


    This also reduces fans'' opposition to the transformation.


    Such crazy fans, what will they do when facing someone who always takes pleasure in criticizing their idols? (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 357： Protest from Russia

    As Ryan once said, it is impossible for a person to win everyone¡¯s praise. Those who oppose for the sake of opposition, whether it is Ryan himself or his numerous supporters, will not care too much, but Those are full of malicious attacks, and no one feels comfortable after seeing this kind of remarks.


    Gary Graham is recognized as one of the people who are full of malice towards Ryan. Perhaps Ryan will only regard him as a ridiculous clown, but his supporters would not think so.


    They remembered the account before the release of "Titanic" last year clearly, but after the other party moved to the Internet, they rarely published targeted vicious language, which left him in the corner.


    Now, he unexpectedly jumped out again.


    From a certain perspective, Ryan¡¯s supporters can be regarded as the largest loose group in North America, including people from all walks of life, and there is no shortage of experts in computer and Internet technology.


    So, when Gary Graham''s remarks appeared on the Internet only a few hours later, his website was hacked.


    "Your professional commentary is the complete list of American jokes!"


    This is what the intruder left after hacking the website.


    In addition, there is a picture of Mr. Gary Graham, pouting his naked ass, to please the audience in the United States.


    This incident became the laughing stock of the entire industry. It is said that the descendant of the Mayflower was so angry that he entered the medical institution directly.


    "This is definitely not something I let people do!"


    On the treadmill in the fitness room, Ryan vowed to Natalie that the Long Island girl was lifting dumbbells.


    "I never said you did it. Although you are boring, you still don''t want to pay attention to a clown."


    Although she said so, Natalie smiled very happily. No one thought that their beloved would always be maliciously attacked inexplicably.


    Then she looked at the clock on the wall. Remind, "Ryan, the time is up!"


    "Yeah~"


    Jumping off the treadmill, Ryan just sighed, Natalie had already put down the dumbbells and walked over, picked up the white towel hanging around his neck, and helped him wipe the sweat from his face.


    Ryan bends down a bit, enjoying Natalie''s tenderness to the fullest. One hand falls on Natalie''s slender waist unknowingly, and the upper body of the Long Island Girl is a short tight-fitting fitness outfit. His hands directly touched the smooth and white lower abdomen, and he couldn''t help falling downward.


    The door of the fitness room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, making a bang, and then Scarlett Johansson rushed in, waved the file bag in his hand, and yelled, "Nate, Ryan..."


    "No... I''m sorry..." She pursed her mouth probably because she saw something. I didn''t make myself laugh.


    "Scarlett, you forgot to knock on the door." Ryan quickly retracted his hand and glared at the blonde girl, "When did you come over?"


    "I just arrived."


    Scarlett is careless. She didn''t care at all, she ran over to Natalie, "I called to the Hilton Hotel, but Nat was not there. I guess she must be here, so she came..."


    "Nat, I didn''t see anything." She turned to Natalie with a grin.


    "Come on. Scarlett." Natalie made a zipper, and Scarlett nodded hurriedly. "I''m not Tyler''s big mouth, don''t worry."


    "Oh, this is the file that George asked me to bring." Scarlett Johansson stuffed the file bag to Ryan, went to the refrigerator next to him and took two boxes of juice. After throwing a box to Natalie, she was curious. Asked, "What confidential document is this? Isn''t George afraid of me peeking?"


    "The North American box office rankings last week."


    Ryan sat on a thick mat practicing self-defense skills. Natalie took Scarlett and sat next to him, and asked, "What is the box office for the first week of "Remaining on a Deserted Island"?"


    "Oh, it''s really rare that Nat cares about the box office."


    Intentionally blocking the sight of the two girls, Ryan squeezed his eyes and said with a smile, "Guess, there will be a prize for the right guess."


    "Come on, Ryan." Natalie didn''t bother to ask. If there is something else in suspense, but the box office is just a bunch of numbers for Ryan. She pulled Scarlett up, "I want Go back to change clothes, let''s go, Scarlett, let''s be together."


    "Nate, aren''t you curious?" Scarlett followed and asked unwillingly, "Aren''t you worried about Ryan losing money?"


    "The production cost plus the promotional budget, how much does this movie have?"


    "It looks like a hundred million dollars."


    "Scarlett, do you think movies can be profitable by box office alone?"


    "Not counting the implanted advertising revenue, Ryan''s film North American box office can make money back."


    "Since I can make money, what do I have to worry about."


    "It seems to be the reason..."


    The voices of the two girls got farther and farther, and finally disappeared completely. Ryan shook his head, stood up and walked towards the main building. There shouldn''t be much suspense at the box office. Now the focus of work should be turned to publicity and public relations.


    Sony Columbia Pictures has been looking forward to opening the Hollywood era that truly belongs to them. The success of the "Jurassic Park" series has allowed them to see the influence of monster movies in North America and believe that bigger and stronger monsters are enough to attract The American audience, and the huge box office success in the first week, seems to have confirmed this.


    But Sony Entertainment has overlooked a very important thing. Godzilla is an alien monster. Before the movie "Jurassic Park" was released, the novel was fully propagated, especially behind this series, which is still standing today. The man hailed as the representative of Hollywood commercial films.


    The latest masterpiece of this man was also selected in the hot Christmas stall.


    In fact, when there was a long line in front of the theater three days on the weekend, Sony Pictures already had a very bad premonition. These people in line were definitely not for "Godzilla", because although the box office was successful in the first week, the film''s reputation was not. It was very bad. Not only was it attacked by film critics, but most of the audience surveyed were also dissatisfied with the film.


    Facts have also proved this point. "Godzilla" shrank sharply in the second week, with a box office figure of just over 15 million US dollars. I can only work hard to raise my head and look up to "Remains of a Deserted Island."


    When Christmas is approaching, the movie that has detonated the box office finally arrived. The first day was more than 22 million U.S. dollars, the next day it increased to more than 23 million U.S. dollars, and the third day it rose to 26 million U.S. dollars. The total amount exceeded. 71 million US dollars, this is the first week of the box office of "Remains of a Deserted Island".


    Although it is quite far away from the record of "Titanic", it is not even comparable to the summer "Jurassic Park 2", but for such a movie supported by an actor, it is already very rare.


    With the input of both parties, "Remaining on the Deserted Island" only cost $55 million if the cost of a single round of production is concerned.


    Moreover, "Life on a Deserted Island" has received rave reviews, not to mention the film critics, it has gained a high reputation among the audience alone, and the power of word of mouth after the film is released is sometimes the best means of publicity.


    Frankly speaking, the movie leaves the audience with too many plots worthy of scrutiny and imagination, such as the wings that run through the movie, such as several dialogues between Chuck and Kelly, such as the last crossroads and so on.


    Even the color of the wings on the email at the beginning of the film is pink, which has been interpreted by some people as a hint that Mr. Peterson has an affair, and people have to admire the power of brain replenishment.


    However, the benefits of this are obvious. The development of the Internet has brought about the smoothness of information. Many people think they have new discoveries and can¡¯t wait to share them. Fan websites and Ryan¡¯s personal web pages have become channels for carrying. These views are seen by others, and a considerable number of people will re-enter the theater to confirm these views.


    In addition to those who walked into the theater because of their feelings, although the number of repeated viewings is not comparable to that of "Titanic", it also accounts for a large proportion.


    The film¡¯s good reputation among the audience is the most direct response to the second week of "Remains of a Deserted Island". There was no major decline in the box office. With a figure of 64.55 million US dollars, it still dazzled all the movies in the same period.


    As for "Godzilla", the stamina is obviously insufficient. In the third week, it even fell out of the top three in the box office rankings. It is a fantasy to rely on the North American box office to recover costs.


    Although this is a normal competition in the film market, Ryan and Sony Columbia Pictures have no intention of tit-for-tat. Since the other side gave up Tom Cruise, the initial grievances have disappeared, and even the two sides in the "Spider-Man" "There are many common interests, after all, the copyright of Peter Parker''s TV series is still in Sony''s hands.


    But the media will not care about so much, as long as they can hype topics, they will not let it go easily.


    "The modern version of Robinson vs. Godzilla, Ryan Jenkins overwhelmed the monster with just one little finger!"


    There are many reports like this These guys can''t wait for Hollywood to get messy, the better, so that they have reports to write about, and then they can make a lot of money.


    Unfortunately, neither Ryan nor Sony Columbia bother to pay attention to these guys.


    Sony Columbia is busy with the overseas release of "Godzilla". Since the box office failure in North America has become a foregone conclusion, the cost must be recovered from other regions, especially Japan.


    Ryan wanted to promote the film because Jenkins and Paramount had made sufficient preparations in advance. A week after the "Leaves of a Deserted Island" landed in North America, it began to appear in the most important overseas markets.


    In the following week, the film was released in Australia, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Western Europe, Russia and other regions in Eastern Europe.


    In fact, if possible, Ryan would like to try to achieve a synchronized global premiere in several major production areas of the box office, but in this era, this can only be considered for the time being.


    What Ryan didn''t expect was that after the film landed in Russia, the spokesperson of the Russian Duma, in a regular press conference, actually protested against the producer! (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 358： auction

    There is no shortage of regional concepts in any country or ethnicity, and Russians are not included. Since the film market has opened its arms to Hollywood, this vast land, like other parts of the world, has been quickly produced by Hollywood commercials. Conquered.


    In a movie from Hollywood, there are so many images of one''s own country that can be seen by the audience. This is also proved by the fact that "Remains of a Deserted Island" quickly occupied major theaters after entering Russia.


    The Red Square, the Volga River, the Lenin Cemetery and the ice and snow in Moscow, like Ryan''s powerful appeal, attracted a large number of Russian audiences into the theater.


    However, no one thought that at the latest regular press conference of the Russian Duma, the congressman who served as the spokesperson would openly criticize "Remaining on the Deserted Island" and Ryan? Jenkins made a serious protest and even bombarded the film.


    "Hollywood films always vilify the image of Russians. This time, they are described as procrastinating and timeless slackers. This is slandering the whole of Russia. We should boycott Ryan Jenkins'' films and boycott " The rest of my life on a deserted island""


    This is what the congressman said in the face of the media. He even called on the Russian authorities to directly intervene and let "Leaves of a Deserted Island" be removed from the theater in advance.


    The news quickly spread back to North America. Although Russia is not too important a market, Ryan will not let this happen, and the necessary public relations work will begin quickly. .


    Used him to Julius at the time? In Stewart¡¯s words, it¡¯s ¡®we can¡¯t live with anything, we can¡¯t live with money, even if it¡¯s not very valuable rubles. ¡¯


    The other party obviously inherited the excellent traditions of the Soviet Union, and went online at every turn, elevating the incident to the height of the entire country and nation.


    Ryan was keenly aware that Russia¡¯s reaction was so overwhelming that it was very likely that it had something to do with the two Faberge eggs that Julius got through. After all, to a certain extent, this is considered the most representative of Russia. One of the artworks.


    The problem is, those of them even dare to sell the entire country for money, so two small easter eggs need to be so real?


    After all, zhengfu is a powerful organization, and Ryan will not be so stupid as to confront Russia¡¯s zhengfu. Jenkins Pictures held a press conference as quickly as possible, and specially invited reporters from Moscow to say, ¡°Chuck reprimanded in the movie. The procrastination of Russian employees is actually a mockery of the workaholic Americans, and does not mean anything to belittle the Russians."


    Today¡¯s Russia is no longer the former Soviet Union. Zhengfu¡¯s influence has greatly diminished. In addition, Jenkins Pictures responded quickly. After this self-deprecating statement was issued, the Russian market did not bring too many adverse reactions. "Remains on a Deserted Island" almost dominated the movie market for polar bears in winter.


    In the entire Western world, this film can be said to be both acclaimed and popular. It brings out the perception of life, even surpassing "Robinson Crusoe", plus Ryan''s own crazy appeal. With one exception, he won the box office championship in the theater area.


    In the Far East, the same is true. After "Titanic", Ryan has become the most well-known and box office Hollywood star in this region.


    Even in Ben, the place where Godzilla was born, after "Godzilla" maintained its top spot at the box office for a week, it was pulled down by the later "Remains of a Deserted Island", and the box office was simply North American. In the reprint, there has been a serious polarization between the two sides.


    Sony Columbia Pictures, in the "Godzilla" project, it can be said that there have been many mistakes. It did not please the American audience, but also lost the support of its birthplace. The huge production cost and publicity budget passed the box office. It is difficult to recover, and can only count on the follow-up derivatives market.


    Of course, limited to the subject matter of the movie and the western values ??of the reaction, "Leaves of a Deserted Island" has achieved great success in the Far East, but it is far less than "Jurassic Park 2" in the summer. It is better in North America. It is getting hotter and hotter, and the box office is almost superimposed with very stable numbers.


    Some professionals don''t understand why such a trivial simple story-or Tom, who has no talent for screenwriting? The idea that Hanks came up with¡ªwhy came to Ryan? Will there be a completely different effect in Jenkins'' hands?


    Although they overestimated the movie, it caused a sensation far beyond imagination.


    The hottest topic in North America during the Christmas period is the discussion about "Remains of a Deserted Island". From the plot of the movie, from the protagonist Chuck, it seems that every audience can experience different feelings that belong to their own.


    Even those young students who lack life experience are also expressing their views on movies on the Internet.


    "If you meet Chuck, can you survive?"


    This is the hottest topic of discussion. Although they are a rebellious and confident generation, after a rational analysis, they found that they might be able to, like Chuck, rely on the existing conditions on the deserted island, they will not die because of hunger and thirst. , But how to endure that kind of loneliness?


    The continued popularity of topics will inevitably bring a good box office harvest. The North American box office of the third week of "Remains of a Deserted Island" was fixed at a figure of just over 59 million US dollars, defeating the "Rush Hour" released this week for three consecutive Zhou Xiong ranked first in the North American box office rankings.


    "strange."


    Ryan thought about the North American box office rankings that had just been released, and Taylor, who was sitting next to him, couldn''t help asking curiously, "Weird? What''s weird?"


    "Ah, nothing." Ryan shook his head.


    He can''t tell the little guy that the previous "Rush Hour" should have been released long ago, and should not be directly against his own movie in this highly competitive Christmas stall.


    Forget it, let him, anyway, he doesn''t have much interest in this series, otherwise, where will the new line be.


    "What are you thinking about again? Ryan, if you don''t take action anymore, I will call the number for you." The little girl''s eyes fell on the number plate in Ryan''s hand, "Don''t forget, you promised me. "


    "My dear, patience is a virtue." Ryan shook her finger and lowered his voice. "It''s only three thousand dollars now. Do you think Mr. Wilson is worth that little money?"


    What is going on now is a charity dinner gathered by celebrities. The charity auction is an indispensable activity. The best supporting volleyball ¡®Wilson¡¯ in the hearts of countless people is the item being auctioned.


    "Five thousand dollars, now five thousand dollars..."


    "Six thousand dollars, the tenth bid is six thousand dollars." The hostess who temporarily acted as the auctioneer was ostentatious and joking. "This is no ordinary volleyball.''Wilson'' may win this year''s Oscar. Best supporting actor."


    Her words drew a burst of laughter from below, and then more number plates gathered.


    "Seven thousand dollars..."


    "Eight thousand dollars..."


    "Ten thousand dollars..."


    "Fifteen thousand dollars!"


    When this price code appeared, the venue suddenly became quiet, saying that "Wilson" is a movie prop, and the price is already very high.


    Seeing the little girl''s eyesight, even though she was obviously pretending, Ryan still stuffed the number plate into his hand.


    "16,000 U.S. dollars!"


    The little girl''s crisp voice and unusually attractive eyeballs, after noticing the shifted gaze, she stuck out her tongue mischievously.


    At first, some people thought she was messing around, but after seeing who she was and who was sitting next to her, they suddenly understood that this was definitely not the little girl deliberately making trouble.


    "Whose child is this? Why come to join in the fun?"


    Perhaps it was because the scene was relatively quiet, and the voice of a young girl came from the other side, which made Taylor glaring at him, but there were too many people in the banquet hall to see who it was.


    "Twenty thousand dollars!" It was the same female voice just now.


    "Twenty-one thousand dollars!" Taylor did not show weakness.


    "Thirty thousand dollars!" This is obviously grudge.


    Ryan couldn''t help being a little curious. This kind of charity auction rarely appeared tit-for-tat, and when the original owner of the item wanted to buy back the items he donated, the rest of the people would basically not compete. This is the default rule in the celebrity circle.


    Whose girl is this? The age of listening to the sound should not be too old.


    "Thirty-one thousand dollars." With a rich man sitting next to him, Taylor wouldn''t hesitate.


    "Fifty thousand dollars!"


    As soon as this sound came out, there was some movement in the field, and the money was not too much, but such a figure used to buy a prop volleyball, it was a bit of a loser.


    Many people followed the direction of the sound and looked over, while Ryan followed most people''s gazes and saw the girl who was obviously in the rebellious period with an unruly face.


    The girl was not alone either. There was a slightly older young man sitting beside her. Ryan looked at him a little familiar, but couldn''t think of who it was.


    "Really annoying!"


    Taylor has indeed restrained a lot recently, but it is only in front of Ryan and others, and she is not polite to strangers. Her voice seems to be muttering, but it spreads clearly far away.


    "Five thousand dollars!" Although she couldn''t see the other person, she deliberately stuck out her tongue.


    "Sixty thousand dollars!"


    "Sixty-one thousand dollars!"


    "Seventy thousand dollars!"


    "Seven thousand dollars!"


    "Eighty thousand dollars..."


    "Ryan, UU reading , what shall we do?" The little girl looked at her for help. Ryan did not speak, but gave an encouraging look.


    Five minutes later, the staff sent Mr. Wilson over. The little girl hugged the volleyball, pointed in the direction of the sound, and wrinkled her nose.


    Is it worth buying a volleyball for a hundred thousand dollars? Ryan didn''t care at all, Taylor was his favorite sister, as long as she was happy.


    "I don''t know who that person is." After all, he was a person who grew up in the upper class. Although Taylor was young, he knew a lot of things.


    "I don''t know." Ryan shook his head.


    "They are the sons and daughters of a madman." It was a director of Paramount next to him who was speaking. "With that kind of father''s teaching, can I expect them to understand the rules?" (To be continued.) ()

 Chapter 359： Madmans children

    Holding the little girl with a volleyball in his arms, Ryan walked out of the banquet hall where the charity dinner was held and walked towards the parking lot. He had been reminded by the director of Paramount that he had already thought of who the young men and women were.


    This is just a dispute between the little girls. Ryan didn¡¯t care at all. It must be a normal person to laugh at this kind of thing. No matter how arrogant Larry Ellison is, he won¡¯t teach his children. Really arrogant fool.


    But what Ryan didn''t expect was that he was stopped just as he walked out of the banquet hall.


    "Mr. Jenkins, if you have time, can you talk about it?"


    The talking young man is at most sixteen years old, and the long-faced girl next to him is the one who competed with Taylor for volleyball.


    The two girls were staring, looking like they could not kill each other with their gazes.


    "Alison, what about your manners."


    Ryan pulled Latell, the little guy withdrew his gaze, his nose almost wrinkled into the sky.


    "Introduce yourself, this is David Ellison, this is my sister Megan Ellison."


    Ryan nodded, "Find a place, then."


    In his previous life, although David Ellison was a famous taker in Hollywood, he didn''t make any sense to Ryan, and he was not one of those **filmmakers who could not find investment.


    Entering the lounge near the banquet hall, Ryan sat across from his brother and sister who had a toothache that Hollywood producers hated in his previous life, drinking coffee quietly, wondering what they would be able to say later?


    "Mr. Jenkins..."


    "Call me Ryan." After all, he is not a few years older than the other party.


    "Okay, Ryan." David Ellison seemed to want to show off his father''s style, but his face was unconcealed with immaturity, "I know your time is precious, so let''s just say it. "


    "Yeah~" Ryan made a please gesture.


    "I want to participate in the investment in the Harry Potter series of movies, money..." David Ellison is really learning from his crazy father, "It''s not a problem!"


    "Sorry, I am not short of money."


    What a joke, he cooperated with Warner. It is because there is a win-win situation. What are the benefits of accepting their investment? Let them make money for nothing?


    Oracle is great, but its influence is still in IT-related industries, so why should I distribute the benefits to them? Just rely on their last name Ellison? Just because they have a madman and rich father? Maybe they have some influence in the media, but can they compare with people in circles like him and Time Warner?


    Sometimes interlacing is more than just talking.


    "Why... why?" David Ellison probably never thought that Ryan would refuse so simply.


    "I am not short of money."


    Ryan slapped Taylor''s hand covertly, and the little girl yawned tacitly, "Ryan, I want to go home and sleep."


    "Hmm..." Ryan just nodded, and David Ellison spoke again, "Megan and I like movies very much..."


    "David, don''t you mind if I call that? Thank you." Ryan shook his head and said directly, "I don''t lack Harry Potter investment. What kind of income this series can bring, I am better than anyone else. Clearly, also, liking movies and investing in movies are two different things."


    With that, he stood up. Finally, he said, "Also, give me a thank you to Mr. Larry Ellison, thank you for his private island!"


    The filming of "Jurassic Park 2" was to lease Larry Ellison''s private island, but that was an explicit lease and had nothing to do with human sentiment.


    When getting in the car, Ryan recalled more about the siblings. Although they were jokingly called Hollywood¡¯s biggest takers in the early stage, they developed quite smoothly later, and as David Ellison said, they are indeed people who really like movies.


    But what about it? There are so many people who really like movies, and he can''t come by anyone. Just distribute your own interests to them?


    Besides, their appearance is the gospel of ** movies, but they are public enemies of Hollywood studios.


    Unfortunately, Ryan is becoming a representative of the interests of the alliance of several major studios, and is naturally not a front line with them.


    This has nothing to do with their madman father. The fight with Megan Ellison and Taylor at night is also okay, it''s only about interests.


    It seems that after entering the new century, Paramount has been in a financial crisis. David Ellison forced Paramount to give him priority to select and invest in Paramount¡¯s film projects, "Mission: Impossible" and "Special". "The Force", "Star Trek", "Transformers" and so on, brought him huge returns.


    Unfortunately, now that Hollywood has itself, even if the economic crisis comes, Paramount will not have his turn to rescue.


    Ryan didn''t know if David Ellison came out to invest in the movie Larry Ellison would have known it, but with the character of that madman, even if his son was spending money with him, he would probably not be disciplined.


    He shook his head and dispelled all these messy thoughts. Anyway, he won''t have any intersection with Oracle in the future.


    "Ryan, are you going to London tomorrow?" The little girl looked at him with gleaming eyes.


    "Yeah, my dear." Ryan rubbed her blonde hair. "The Harry Potter crew has passed, and the actor audition will officially begin."


    In a blink of an eye, 1999 has arrived, and the new century is about to come.


    "Can you take me, then?" Taylor looked hopeful.


    "I''m going to work, and I don''t have time to play with you." Ryan sighed after seeing the little girl drooping her head, "Well, my dear, when the movie starts, I will definitely take you over to play."


    "Okay, then." The little girl who had just passed her ninth birthday was obviously more sensible.


    The RV parked directly in front of a luxurious villa. This is the new home of Swift¡¯s recent replacement. The area is several times larger than before. Scott Swift has acted as the investment agent of Ryan and Nicole these years. People, as well as the dividends of Jenkins Pictures, and the management of their own investments, made enough money.


    Tyler pushed the car door, jumped down and ran into the villa. Following Ryan, she clearly heard her ostentatious voice, "Look, Austin, this is Mr. Wilson, my New Year''s gift!"


    "You have so many dolls, you never give it to me." The little boy with blond hair looked weak when facing his sister.


    "They are all limited editions, do you understand, Austin?" Tyler opened his bright blue eyes. "You lost all the ones I gave you before. They are all limited editions, out there. Can''t buy it!"


    After greeting the Swifts, Ryan walked up to the little boy and said, "Hey Austin, you are taller than last time."


    "I will be bullied by my sister when I grow taller." The little boy murmured.


    "Hey, Austin, how can you say that." Tyler was immediately dissatisfied. "Don''t forget, the last time the neighbor''s Lina sisters bullied you, I drove them away."


    "But you are a sister, this is what you should do."


    Rubbing the heads of the two little guys, Ryan and Scott walked into the study, and Mrs. Andrea brought black tea to them and closed the door tightly when they left.


    "How is the stock market now?" After drinking the lipstick tea, Ryan put down the cup.


    "Crazy." Scott frowned. "Insanely crazy."


    "Don''t you think this kind of madness is abnormal?" Ryan reminded.


    "Very abnormal." Scott was originally a good investor. With more and more funds in his charge over the years, he has long become the most well-informed group of people on Wall Street. "But most investors have been The skyrocketing index drove the enthusiasm, and the entire market looks extremely prosperous. Some people say that the spring of the United States has arrived.


    People are always blinded by benefits, and how many people can get rid of greed.


    Why is it so crazy? Although there is a relationship between the rapid development of computers and the Internet, some people¡¯s behind-the-scenes pushes cannot be separated, and even the pushers don¡¯t know when they will collapse. Ryan doesn¡¯t want to take the risk, ¡°Scott, from After the Oscar, planned to throw away the it stock in his hands."


    "All?" Scott was obviously surprised, but it was an amazing asset.


    What Ryan is referring to is not the holding companies of Pixar Studios, but the circulating stocks of IT companies such as Microsoft, Dell, and Apple that have been in the market since the early 1990s. In addition, there are also a large number of Cisco companies. Shares.


    Unlike other IT companies, Cisco only went public in 90 years, and it was not very eye-catching when it first went public. Scott bought a considerable amount of shares with the liquidity that Ryan and Nicole could come up with at the time.


    "Retain a small amount of Yahoo shares and have a say on the board of directors. The rest, including Cisco, will all be sold before the end of the year."


    After so many years, Ryan is no longer a financial idiot. If we wait until next year to get rid of it, there will be no time at all. Although he holds shares in Microsoft and other IT, no one has more than 5%-more than 5% will be The Securities Regulatory Commission reported-but thrown into the stock market in a short time, if not sure, it will lead to a crash in advance.


    Ryan was generally impressed. It seemed that the precursor of the previous life¡¯s crash was a large single Microsoft stock sell-off and his Cisco shares exceeded 10%. For such a number, the best way is to contact others. Buyers transfer, the best target is Cisco''s board of directors, these all take time.


    "Ryan, you mean the stock market will crash next year?"


    "No, no, no." Ryan shook his head, "Scott, I''m not even a layman in this regard, but it''s definitely not normal for the stock market to soar like this. I can''t say when it will happen. Disaster. Think about it, how much money did we put in at the beginning? How much money can we earn back from the stock transfer? At least ten times the profit, right? This money is enough for us to do more."


    "Greed is an original sin." Scott was still sober.


    "Greed will lead to unpredictable consequences." Ryan sighed for a long time. "We have earned enough. It is not worth the risk."


    "That''s the truth."


    It¡¯s easy to say this, but there are a few people who can do it. Sko nodded, "Leave it to me." ()

 Chapter 360： Open audition

    Regarding the promotion of "Remains of a Deserted Island", Ryan was far less active than "Titanic". After the film was released, he only went to the largest cities in North America and left the crew. No one else could say anything. Who makes him the boss of the movie?


    Despite the absence of Ryan, the entire crew still flew around in various cities in North America according to the predetermined plan. Everywhere they went, some secrets about the shooting were revealed, and most of these gossips were related to Ryan. Since he If you can''t promote it, then you have to make good use of his name.


    Because it is basically a one-man show, apart from Ryan, the most important actor in the crew is Naomi Watts. This Australian actress has completely got rid of the bad luck of previous years and is fully surrounded by the spotlight. Enjoy the taste of fame and popularity.


    For her, using Ryan''s name to promote the movie is not promoting herself.


    No movie can get rid of the inevitable laws of the market. There is only one super box office bomb like "Titanic" so far, and the popularity of "Remains on the Deserted Island" is gradually declining.


    However, this film not only brought super high box office, but also brought a surge in business for FedEx, which provided full support during the filming.


    Three weeks after the release of this alternative FedEx super-long promotional video, FedEx¡¯s statistical system clearly showed that their business volume in North America has increased rapidly by nearly 20%, even in several overseas regions such as Europe. An increase of nearly ten percent.


    Especially according to the plot of the movie, their winged mail parcel business is extremely popular.


    In short, the film is enough to bring huge benefits to FedEx, especially the invisible brand benefits.


    Not to mention FedEx, but the not-so-famous ¡®Wilson¡¯ sports equipment. It has also become a well-known brand, and that famous volleyball is sold out of stock in the United States.


    Through the film, not only can you benefit yourself, but also bring huge benefits to the partners. Such people are placed in any industry in North America. Will be welcomed.


    After handing over the stock matters to Scott, Ryan left Los Angeles for London. Converge with the officially established Harry Potter crew.


    After the New Year, Chris Columbus and Michael Barnason took people to London to prepare for the film''s preliminary work.


    Perhaps it was informed by his Los Angeles colleagues in advance that Ryan had left Heathrow Airport. In the face of countless media and reporters, there are not only paparazzi from Fleet Street, but also many entertainment reporters from the European continent. As for North American reporters, there are not a few.


    The appeal of Ryan and Harry Potter is too great. In addition to the media and reporters, there are thousands of book fans holding Harry Potter and various posters, besieged in front of the VIP exit of the airport. They looked forward to it for many years, and finally waited for the day when Harry Potter was about to be made into a movie.


    If all this is normal, then from time to time teenage boys and girls will jump in front of Ryan or in front of the reporter''s camera lens. Shouting that he is the most suitable candidate for ¡®Harry Potter¡¯ or ¡®Hermione Granger¡¯ created even more chaotic scenes.


    Maybe there are some different thoughts, but most people still express their support for Ryan and the love for the entire series.


    The consequence of this is that Ryan was directly blocked by reporters and fans at the airport. More and more people even paralyzed Heathrow Airport. It was not until the police from the brigade appeared that Ryan was escorted by bodyguards. Out of the crowd, he left the airport lobby that had become a vegetable market.


    He did not return to the villa in Kensington, but went directly to the Hilton Hotel where the crew stayed.


    Time is precious to him and the crew. After meeting Chris Columbus in the reception room rented by the crew, the two parties exchanged simple greetings and went directly to the topic.


    "Ryan, although the script has eliminated the plot of many novels, I believe in your level and vision."


    After confirming Chris Columbus as the director, Ryan gave him the script written on an Australian farm in 1995.


    On Chris Columbus¡¯s face, in addition to exhaustion and excitement, after officially becoming the director of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher¡¯s Stone", he fully realized the power of this series. He seemed to have become the center point of the entire London, even if it was The most successful "Home Alone" did not have this effect.


    "Michael and I visited the main locations including Gloucester Church and Kings Cross Railway Station, and we also communicated with some responsible agencies." Chris Columbus continued, "The set was selected outside of London. In the coming year, in addition to selecting actors, we will also order sets, props, costumes and so on..."


    Ryan nodded slowly after listening to the other person. Chris Columbus thought very well.


    "Where''s Michael?" Ryan asked Michael Barnason, the producer.


    "He went to No. 10 Downing Street." Chris Columbus explained, "The child labor law in the United Kingdom is very troublesome. The filming is definitely the biggest obstacle affecting the progress. After reading your suggestion, Michael has persuaded Downing Street Ten. No. As long as the House of Commons can pass, it is not a problem to amend relevant regulations."


    "Don''t worry about this." Ryan waved his hand, "Just do it before shooting."


    In order to audition actors, various preliminary preparations must be made. If the film wants to officially start shooting, it will take more than a year at the earliest.


    Jenkins Pictures and Warner invested a lot of money and a lot of manpower in this project. In total, Ryan spent more than US$100 million in production costs and US$50 million in publicity costs for the crew. Several toy and derivative manufacturers, including Bao, negotiated so that the production of peripheral products can be started as soon as the props and roles of the movie are determined.


    The bulk of the revenue of this series is not the movie box office.


    Even the "Alien" publishing house has found Ryan again, and wants to take advantage of the momentum of film adaptation and release to relaunch the hardcover version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone".


    In short, all this is a guarantee of profit.


    As early as the first time the crew arrived in London, they contacted the media under News Corporation, including TV stations, and the advertisements of the small actors in the audition were overwhelmingly released. Not to mention the sensational effect in the UK, the North American media also paid attention to it. Here, even if there is a bit of trouble, Time Warner''s media will report it in exaggerated ways to attract people''s attention.


    With the development of the media, the speed of information dissemination is getting faster and faster, especially with the rise of the Internet, the era of eyeball economy has come completely, and the importance of publicity for movies or other products is self-evident.


    In addition to conventional methods, Yahoo also received business from Jenkins Pictures and began to build an official website for the entire Harry Potter series in order to win more support on the Internet.


    Before the actor audition officially began, the crew rented the largest conference room in the Hilton Hotel and held a grand press conference.


    Hundreds of reporters from North America, Europe, the Kingdom of Great Britain and even some parts of the Far East filled the conference room. The staff from the TV station set up several cameras early to broadcast the news live on TV 1. Conference.


    "Yes, the crew will give priority to actors from the UK or Ireland, so that the film maintains the overall atmosphere of the novel."


    There is no doubt that Chris Columbus, who served as the director and head of casting, has become the focus of media attention. He answered one question after another, "I repeat, whenever possible, all the filming of the crew will be completed in the UK, please Stop asking these two questions!"


    "Director Columbus, what kind of little actor can meet your requirements and meet your Gryffin Golden Triangle?" another reporter asked.


    "I want to remind that I am indeed responsible for the audition actors, but the final selection is still in the hands of Ryan." Chris Columbus directly blamed him for success.


    Then, all the artillery fire was directed at Ryan.


    "Excuse me, what kind of little actor would you choose to play?"


    "Will you accept face-to-face self-recommendations from young actors?"


    "Will Ryan, Harry, Hermione, and others choose actors with experience, or will they choose real newcomers?"


    "Can the crew guarantee the fairness and justice of the audition?"


    It was originally in order, but the meeting room opened in an instant. After the host of the press conference shouted several times in a row, the crazy guys gradually calmed down.


    They were not fools either. They understood the chaotic scenes and couldn''t get any valuable news, so they immediately restored the order they had just raised their hands and waited for.


    "Ryan, can you talk about the standard code for selecting actors in the Gryffin Golden Triangle?" The reporter who was named stood up.


    "There is no standard." Ryan said while gesturing I believe everyone should know that some feelings cannot be expressed in words. Let''s put it this way, when I see those little actors, I feel that he is Harry or Hermione, then he is the most suitable candidate, otherwise, no matter how good it is, it will not be the actor I am looking for. "


    "So it''s okay for pure newcomers?"


    "It doesn''t matter whether you have experience or not." Ryan spread his hands. "Otherwise, the crew will not spend a lot of money, and the audition will be conducted in the UK with great fanfare."


    "So you will determine the choice of the main actor?"


    "Chris is responsible for the specific work. As for the final candidate, I will discuss it with him." Ryan waved his hand to stop the reporter from asking the question again. "Let¡¯s put it this way, since the start of the audition actor, to It will take at least a year for the film to start. Don¡¯t ask about the actors¡¯ candidates and results. It¡¯s meaningless.¡±


    The press conference was spread to all corners of the UK through live TV pictures, and follow-up reports continued. The media seemed to have found the topics that attracted the most attention of the British, and kept reporting various news about the crew and auditions.


    At the same time, many children of the right age are also eager to try. ()

 Chapter 361： Miss Know-it-all

    "Charlotte, are you ready, we are a bit late."


    Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, a ten-year-old brown-haired little girl jumped out of a chair, put a schoolbag on her back, walked towards the door, and replied, "Mom, here comes."


    In the creaking sound, the door opened, and the little girl took her mother''s sleeve and walked out of the house, "Mom, where are we going to sign up? Trafalgar Square?"


    "Yes, dear."


    Walking to the garage, the middle-aged woman opened the car door, "Are you sure you want to participate in the audition? Although I don''t want to hit you, my dear, you don''t have any professional performance experience..."


    "Ryan said, experience is not important at all!" The little girl fastened her seat belt and urged, "Hurry up, mother."


    Passing through the old streets of London, the car parked in the parking lot near the square. When the mother and daughter walked to the registration point set up in Trafalgar Square, they discovered that this place had long become a sea of ??children and parents. There were hundreds of people in the queue at the registration point of the audition, and they had already lined up from the art gallery to the square.


    "Oh, God, we are still late." The little girl couldn''t help but complain, "Mom, why don''t you drive faster?"


    "Well, my dear, stop complaining. If you want to sign up, go to the queue." The middle-aged woman reminded.


    Only then did the little girl realize that although the registration team is very long, there are still people joining it. If you don''t hurry up, you might not have your turn today.


    She quickly picked up her mother and lined up at the back of the line.


    The line was so long that I couldn¡¯t see my head at a glance. The little girl stared wide and looked around curiously. She soon discovered that there were more than a dozen reporters around, and occasionally interviews these peers who were waiting to sign up. people.


    Ryan. And what kind of influence Harry Potter has among his peers. The little girls know very well that they are all people who grew up reading his stories. Every boy once imagined that he was Harry Potter, every Girls also think of themselves as Hermione Granger in their dreams.


    And her goal is naturally Miss Know-it-all.


    Although she is very confident in herself, after seeing the long registration team, she can''t help playing the snare drum. After all, she doesn''t have any professional performance experience, and her dream is like what Ryan said. Will it be reflected in reality?


    "Hey, this beautiful lady and lovely lady, can you accept our interview?"


    Perhaps the little girl''s big eyes were exceptionally bright, attracting the attention of reporters. A reporter with a microphone brought the cameraman to the front of the mother and daughter.


    The middle-aged woman thought for a while, and when she saw her daughter''s confident and fearless appearance, she nodded gently.


    "Thank you!"


    The reporter''s goal is naturally the little girl waiting to sign up, and he asked in a kind tone as much as possible. "May I know your name? Kid?"


    "Emma."


    The freckles on the little girl''s face were shining with confidence in the rare sunshine of London, "Emma Charlotte Watson."


    "Miss Emma. Which school do you study now?"


    As soon as the reporter''s words fell, the little girl frowned, and seemed to be chattering about the reporter, "Dragon School."


    "Why do you want to participate in the actor audition of the Harry Potter movie?" The reporter quickly turned back to the topic.


    "Mr. reporter. You should be an intern reporter? How old are you?" The little girl is like a little adult.


    "Uh..." The reporter was a little embarrassed, because he was indeed a trainee reporter, "25 years old."


    "When Harry Potter first became popular ten years ago. Do you like to watch it?"


    "Of course." The reporter nodded subconsciously.


    "Then do you like Harry Potter or not, have you ever thought of becoming Harry Potter?" The little girl had her hands behind her back, and a joke flashed through her big eyes.


    "Of course." The reporter still nodded.


    "So..." The little girl opened her hand and made a natural gesture.


    The reporter only discovered that the little girl was allowed to take the dominance of the speech, her mouth trembled, and she quickly changed the subject, "Then, Miss Emma, ??if it is possible, which role do you most want to get?"


    "Miss know-it-all, Hermione Granger." The little girl seemed to have regained her confidence, with the posture that this role was none other than me.


    "Well, good luck to you."


    When the reporter turned away, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Are the little girls so difficult now?


    The team kept moving forward, probably just because of signing up. The speed was faster than Emma had imagined, and it was finally her turn.


    This is not only the registration, but also the first selection. The process is very, very simple. Let these children of the right age make a short self-introduction.


    "My name is Emma Charlotte Durge Watson. I was born on April 15, 1990. I am currently studying at the Dragon School in Oxfordshire. I have studied singing, dancing and acting at the Stagecoach Theatre Arts School. The stage experience was to participate in a poetry recitation contest in school."


    Different from the stumbling of the children before, the little girl seemed very confident despite her inner tension, and she spoke very fluently.


    In fact, these children who signed up did not know that self-introduction was the beginning of selection.


    There is no doubt that the audition for young actors has become the most eye-catching thing in the UK. The registration points in major cities are overcrowded every day. In just one week, the number of applicants is as many as tens of thousands. The crew is facing a huge workload.


    In addition to child actors, a large number of adult actors are used in the film. Several associate directors who are responsible for casting frequently visit the homes of several large UK agencies and famous actors, including Alan Rickman and Emma? Famous British actors such as Thompson and Maggie Smith have spoken publicly, hoping to appear in this series of movies.


    A few days later, "The Times" revealed another piece of news, which made Harry Potter''s popularity rise again.


    Richard Harris, a well-known British veteran actor, worried that after the movie was released, everyone would only call himself "Grandpa Dumbledore", and thus rejected Albus Dumbledore¡¯s actor invitation. Who knew his granddaughter A big fan of the Harry Potter series, she threatened her grandpa not to play the principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and never talk to him again.


    Thus, Richard Harris became the first officially confirmed actor on the crew.


    Although staying in London for the time being, Ryan no longer cares about the specific work of the crew. Hollywood has developed for so many years and has formed a mature system long ago. The staff involved in the crew are almost all veterans in the industry.


    The swordsmanship instructor he hired is also in place at this time, because soon, he will star in "Lord of the Rings" and "Gladiator".


    What Ryan needs to learn is not aristocratic fencing, nor is it the swordsmanship from the East that can be compared to dance, but the western style of fighting swordsmanship that shows more power.


    Although Kung Fu is popular in Hollywood, these two purely Western films can only be reduced to jokes if they add oriental elements.


    After the release of "Remains of a Deserted Island", Ryan''s mature performance in the role of Chuck completely dispelled Peter Jackson''s doubts. The New Zealand fat man gave up his plan to trade time for transfer and happily agreed to Ryan''s role in Aragon. Requirements.


    Of course, if Ryan uses the authority of the investor and producer to forcefully suppress Peter Jackson, it will not be difficult, but it will not be good for anyone to make such an issue, and Chuck¡¯s role is an excellent solution. The differences that existed between the two parties.


    In fact, for the Hollywood film industry, where various technologies are becoming more and more developed, the appearance of actors is just a trivial problem, and makeup can almost be solved easily.


    In the dedicated fitness room of the Hilton Hotel, Ryan is holding a custom-made epee. Under the guidance of the coach, he is practicing chopping and blocking and other moves. Years of exercise have made him never lack of strength and weight. A sword that is not light, the tiger danced by him is full of wind.


    "...The first heavy hack and slash, and rarely use straight stabs..." The swordsmanship instructor would also talk about some essentials by his side during the occasional break.


    Maybe you can pull him to be Aragon''s stand-in?


    This is Ryan''s idea, even if he plays no matter how beautiful he is, he is not a professional after all. Some action shots in "Lord of the Rings" definitely need special effects as stand-ins.


    After training, which lasted for forty minutes, Ryan handed the four-foot-long epee to George. Although he was crying hungry at this time, he could not go out for a full meal immediately. He had to follow the diet formulated by the nutritionist. Strictly limit your calorie intake.


    No way, "The Pianist" is about to start, even after the filming of "Remains of a Deserted Island", his figure is thin enough, but he still can''t meet the requirements of Roman Polanski.


    Regardless of the character of the Polish director only in terms of film performance, he is exceptionally serious and responsible. Even if Ryan is an investor and producer, he must be an actor and performer. Comply with his request.


    Ryan has no opinion on this, because this is the most basic professionalism of an actor.


    Moreover, he has appeared in "Schindler''s List" and has enough knowledge of that period of history. Based on the situation at the time, the word skinny is probably the most appropriate description of Mr. Spearman.


    After Ryan automatically lowered the remuneration, the film¡¯s budget was only 35 million U.S. dollars. After the initial funds were in place, Roman Polanski had summoned people to Warsaw and was undergoing intensive preparatory work.


    The protests that happened on the head of the crew of "Schindler''s List" have not happened to him yet. In any case, he can be regarded as the most representative figure in Polish film art, with Spielbo Grid does not have the home field advantage.


    Ryan also maintains close contact with Polanski, constantly exchanging views on the characters and plot style of the film, so that Roman Polanski discovered that this guy who has always been active in the field of commercial films seems to be extremely unique in art films. opinion. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 362： 1 more nomination

    The attention of the North American media quickly shifted away from the Harry Potter series, because the most intense competition for the awards season kicked off. There are more topics to report and hype, and it is easier to attract the public in a short time. attention.


    Although Harvey Weinstein left North America a long time ago and went to Australia to supervise the final literary filming of "The Matrix", Ryan''s team has also gained a lot of public relations experience from "Remains of a Deserted Island" in North America. After the screening, they became active among many judges and the media.


    Compared with the same period last year, the public relations efforts of Ryan and Jenkins Pictures have dropped significantly. Even the kk agency, after receiving Ryan¡¯s support, has focused on Charlize Theron¡¯s Golden Globes and the best The best actress is nominated above.


    As for Ryan himself, as long as the nomination is guaranteed.


    As usual, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nomination list for the 71st Oscar more than a month in advance.


    Although "Legend of a Deserted Island" only got three nominations for best actor, best director and best picture, it was the three most important nominations, enough to make Ryan feel satisfied.


    Like previous Oscars, there are many nominations related to Ryan. The theme song of "Prince of Egypt" was nominated for best original song, and "Peerless Tribulation" was nominated for best visual effects and so on.


    The biggest winners of the nomination are the other three films.


    "Saving Private Ryan" became the biggest winner of the nomination, and got eleven nominations for best director, best actor, best picture, etc. The only pity is that DreamWorks'' submission for best supporting actor for Ryan did not win Nominate.


    This is also normal. Since Ryan has been nominated for best actor for three consecutive times, no one can say anything after taking out a best supporting actor nomination.


    "Life is Beautiful" directed and performed by Robert Benigni is another winner. This Italian film has won a total of seven nominations.


    Perhaps the Weinstein brothers left Miramax early and established a relationship with Weinstein Pictures. "Shakespeare in Love" received nine nominations including Best Director, Best Picture and Best Actress. A lot less than the previous life.


    And because of Ryan''s relationship. "Perfectly Beautiful", which appeared after a year''s delay, also received three nominations for Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor and Best Actress.


    Public relations of kk brokerage company. In addition, Charlize Theron''s performance in the film is quite outstanding, and the South African Diamond was nominated for the first Oscar performance award in his life.


    Ryan is very interested in whether the first murder in Oscar history will take place.


    There is also Gwyneth Paltrow, with the relationship established for many years with the old Paltrow and others. If the public relations are effective-Spielberg also greeted Ryan-it is not impossible for her to get the queen, but the hat of the water queen may not be able to escape.


    Leonardo DiCaprio, who also appeared in "Shakespeare in Love", was extremely disappointed that he did not receive the best actor nomination. He also called specifically and vented that he would refuse to participate in the Oscars.


    Ryan persuaded him a few words, Leonardo also dispelled the idea, otherwise he would not participate in the award ceremony. If you say such a wonderful reason with a big mouth like in the previous life, you should offend the old man of the academy, and then embark on the old road of constant nominations but unable to win awards.


    Anyway, Ryan''s goal is not above this Oscar, just a little attention to the next nomination list. He shifted his goal, dieting, fitness, and practicing swordsmanship took up most of his time, and occasionally paid attention to the progress of the casting.


    The efficiency of the crew is extremely fast. Only in the New Year of 1999 did the audition advertisements, and in late January, they started the first round of super large-scale auditions.


    This is no wonder the crew, there are too many candidates to sign up. If it continues, it is likely that there will be more than 100,000 people in the end. The audition will be held for 100,000 minors. It is estimated that it will break the Guinness World Record.


    The crew reached an agreement with the Ninth Studio in the UK. Their largest studio outside London will be the location for the crew to build a studio and hold auditions.


    Although I don''t know how the little actors were selected in the previous life, but in this life he has become the leader of this project. Ryan is still a little interested in auditions for the audition. He especially picked one of them and came to the set.


    The studio has cleared a large vacant lot. It will soon become the set setting site of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is now full of benches on which are sitting a piece of small actors waiting for audition and theirs. Parents.


    Among them, some people specifically come to join in the fun because of interest, but more people definitely want to use this to become famous. As long as they are not fools and idiots, they can think of it. Starring in this series of movies is definitely a matter of fame and fortune.


    As for the movie will fail? They never thought that this is the work of Ryan Jenkins!


    "Hi, Chris, what a coincidence."


    After taking a long look at the crowd waiting for the audition, Ryan was about to go to a few audition rooms, and met Chris Columbus in the corridor.


    "It''s not a coincidence, but I heard that you are here, and I came here specifically." Chris Columbus''s face was obviously tired, "How many times have you, the investor and original author, been to the crew?"


    "Chris, you know, I''m preparing for the new movie, and there is other work to be done..." Ryan made a gesture that you understand.


    Chris Columbus understood that the child star of the year had already completed the transformation and was no longer a pure actor and screenwriter.


    "Can you let me?" behind Ryan, a crisp girl''s voice came, "The corridor is very narrow, you block the way."


    Only then did Ryan realize that he, a few bodyguards, and George had completely blocked the way to the audition rooms, and couldn''t help turning sideways, trying to step aside.


    "You...you are Ryan."


    The little girl¡¯s voice was full of surprises, obviously she didn¡¯t expect to see the idol here, "Ryan, do you audition for us yourself?"


    "Sorry, Ryan." The middle-aged woman next to her gently pulled the little girl. "She was a little too excited."


    "It''s ok."


    The eyes floated over the little girl, a girl about the same age as Taylor, with fine brown curly hair, and a few faint freckles on her white face on both sides of her nose.


    "Damn, I forgot to bring my autographed notebook." The girl was complaining.


    It seems to be a little younger than I think, but there should be nothing wrong with his appearance. After all, whether it is a movie or my own image, I have seen it too many times. Ryan couldn''t help but squeezed his chin and looked at the little girl carefully.


    "Ryan...Ryan..."


    The little girl''s reaction was so sensitive that she seemed to be comparable to Taylor.


    "This little lady, can you know your name?" Ryan asked directly.


    "Me?" After all, the little girl''s age was here, and she was a little surprised at this moment.


    But her mother was very shrewd, as if she had realized something, and gently pulled her beside her. The little girl immediately laughed, "My name is Emma, ??Emma Watson. Hello, Ryan."


    With that, Ryan stretched out a small hand, and Ryan shook it lightly, and said very directly, "Hello, Emma, ??you feel very good for me, come on, I am very optimistic about you."


    "Really?" The little girl was almost jumping for joy, but bit a finger, "Ryan...Ryan, do you know the role I''m auditioning for?"


    "Isn''t it Miss Know-it-all?" Ryan frowned deliberately. "If not, it would be disappointing."


    "Of course not...ah, no, it''s not right." The little girl was anxious, as if she didn''t know what to say, and gradually calmed down after a while, "I like Hermione Granger the most."


    "Then try hard, Miss Emma." Ryan finally encouraged, "I hope to see your name in the final list."


    Whose name appears in the final list is not up to you. When the little girl leaves, it is inevitable that she will slander.


    After the girl and her mother entered the audition room, Chris Columbus, who was watching the show, said, "Ryan, do you think this girl is suitable for Hermione?"


    "Her temperament and appearance are very similar to my original idea."


    That''s for sure. When the series was copied, whenever the name Hermione Granger was written, Ryan''s mind must be the girl and the image she grew up.


    And in the previous life, she was the most popular actor in the Harry Potter series, not one of them, but it can also be said that she was one of the few actors who did not have long-term disabilities.


    The experience of the previous life has proved that the Miss Know-how she played has a strong market appeal. Now that she has encountered it, Ryan will of course consider her first. This is not to say that she must be her, but the child stars in Europe and the United States have This trait is basically disabled after old age. What if the newly selected actor becomes disabled after a few years?


    That will definitely bring losses to the movie.


    There are very, very successful experiences here, and you have to choose to take risks. It is not brave, but stupid.


    "Well, I will pay special attention to her in the audition later." The little girl obviously made a good impression on Chris Columbus.


    Ryan nodded. With the words of him and Chris Columbus, as long as Emma Watson''s performance in the audition is not catastrophic, there must be no problem in passing the first few rounds.


    As for the other small actors, it depends on their luck.


    Several audition rooms went around, Ryan asked Chris Columbus to pay more attention to the audition situation. Like this kind of audition, insider and related parties are always indispensable. Ryan doesn¡¯t care. Almost all Hollywood auditions It looks like this, too normal.


    What Ryan is worried about is that this is an audition for underage actors, and he doesn''t want to see some terrifying scandals appearing in his company''s crew. ()

 Chapter 363： Ryan also has soft legs

    Time slowly arrived at the end of January. After a year of long-term shooting, "The Matrix" was finally closed and more important post-production began. The Wachowski brothers were completely in a state of madness and only took a few days of rest. I was involved in special effects editing. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    Because the two brothers had already divided their labor, post-production started long ago. If the work goes well, it is not impossible for the film to land in North America in the summer.


    Nicole flew directly from Sydney to London, but when Ryan took her back to the hotel, an uninvited guest who disturbed the two worlds was welcomed.


    Although she was far from being a friend, she was always a visitor, and Ryan had to take her into the living room of the presidential suite.


    "Please sit down, Kayla."


    Seeing the girl¡¯s eyes rolling on Nicole, she wanted to say but she was embarrassed to speak, Ryan had to introduce, "Kayla, this is my sister Nicole Kidman, you call her Nicole That''s it. Nicole, this is Miss Keira Knightley, who is also an actor."


    "Nicole, it''s really nice to meet you, you are so much more beautiful than in the movie." The girl is exactly like an idol.


    "It''s nice to meet you, Kayla." Nicole''s smile was equally bright, and only Ryan knew that this was a courtesy of keeping a distance.


    Like all fans meeting their favorite stars, autographs, greetings, etc., if it were not for the absence of a camera, this Miss Keira Knightley would definitely take Nicole for a group photo.


    Looking at the girl who was pulling Nicole to talk endlessly, Ryan suddenly thought of Elizabeth Swann, this was a masterpiece of Disney in the previous life, um...you can get the pirate script and related settings in advance. Go to the screenwriter first. The union registered, and then let Jinsli publicize it.


    Or did you register the Pirates of the Caribbean trademark and let Disney pay the related fees?


    "Why do you think of visiting me."


    Ryan brought in the black tea from the top waiter. Fill up with two women, one big and one small, "I haven''t seen you in more than a year, you''ve grown taller, Kayla."


    The only friendship between the two parties. It''s from the Moroccan set of "Star Wars Episode".


    "Some time ago. I participated in a movie, and the crew just had a holiday. I heard that you came to London, so I came to have a look." After all, this girl was born in a family of actors, but she is young but understands the importance of relationships in this circle. "If it''s not that the age is inappropriate. Ryan, I want to audition for Hermione Granger."


    "Oh~" Ryan nodded, "Well...I still remember, you like this series very much."


    Nicole sat aside, just listening to the words of these two men, her brows wrinkled insignificantly, and she traveled tens of thousands of miles across the ocean to London. It is for the miss of the lover, to solve the needs of the body that has been suppressed for more than two months, but not to listen to the non-nutritive nonsense of these two people.


    Her light blue eyes couldn''t help looking at Ryan, and the guy talked endlessly. Is the other party really your good friend? Or is there any secret between you that I don¡¯t know?


    "Ryan, where''s Nat, I haven''t seen her for a long time, what has she been up to lately?"


    A name that hadn''t been heard for a long time was suddenly mentioned, and Nicole immediately pricked up her ears.


    "She is also busy making movies."


    Hearing that Ryan changed the subject without a trace, Nicole suddenly remembered that in the past two years, Ryan had hardly spoken to Natalie in front of him, as if he had never had such a friend.


    In fact, she knew that Ryan''s friendship with Natalie was not affected by the North Hollywood incident and her attitude.


    There seems to be something wrong...


    Nicole shook his head, and remembered that after the North Hollywood incident, her attitude towards Natalie was so obvious. With Ryan''s cleverness, she can naturally detect it. Maybe he didn''t want to make both sides happy, right?


    Almost instantly, Nicole thought of the reason subconsciously.


    "Goodbye Ryan, and Nicole, you are welcome to visit my house if you have time."


    When Nicole recovered, the girl named Keira Knightley had stood up and was ready to leave. She hurriedly followed Ryan to the door and said politely, "If I have time, I will definitely go. , Goodbye, Kayla."


    When Ryan closed the door to death, Nicole walked towards the bedroom and asked curiously, "Who is that girl? Why did I never know you still have such a friend in England?"


    "I''m not a friend, I just knew it." Ryan didn''t want to continue. After seeing Nicole''s persistent eyes, he explained a few words, "She starred in "Star Wars Episode". When I went to visit the class there I know."


    "Natalie?" Nicole frowned.


    "She plays Queen Amidala''s stand-in."


    Ryan speeded up his pace, caught up with Nicole, and hugged her directly, "Okay, my dear, stop talking about the irrelevant Miss Keira Knightley, don¡¯t you think we should do something more Meaningful thing?"


    While talking, he hugged Nicole and walked to the bedroom.


    But in the middle of the road, he suddenly felt that his legs were a little soft, and Nicole''s body was never heavier, and he couldn''t help cursing in his heart, **** diet!


    Prolonged dieting and weight loss have obviously made him have some problems in physical strength.


    "What''s wrong, dear."


    Nicole was still waiting for the rhythm of the storm, only to find that Ryan didn''t make any movement, "Is it that I can''t attract you anymore?"


    Her eyebrows were raised high, and her pale blue eyes were full of danger. Ryan believed that if she nodded her head, she would die very miserably.


    Now is not the time to hesitate, Ryan kicked back on the bedroom door, and amidst the bang, he threw Nicole on the soft and thick carpet, and then pounced like a hungry wolf who saw fresh meat. Up.


    "Ryan, push harder, faster..."


    "Nicole, you are crazy today."


    "My dear, that''s because I have missed you for two months, and... your performance today is so bad."


    "Come on, Nicole, I''m afraid you won''t be able to get up and make trouble for me afterwards."


    As long as it is a man, no one wants to admit defeat in this regard. Although the long-term diet has brought about the consequences of physical exhaustion, Ryan still crushed Nicole underneath. Use all methods to make your loved one get the greatest happiness.


    Finally, Nicole no longer complained, squinting her watery blue eyes. Enjoy the pleasure from the body. That was a height that she couldn''t reach by her own means, the pressure and depression she had accumulated over the past few months. It seems to have left the body with the crystal beads of sweat.


    As in the past, after enjoying each other''s happiness, the two of them carefully cleaned their bodies for each other. Go back to the bedroom and lie down side by side.


    But what was different from the past was that Nicole''s milk-like white cheeks were flushed with ripe apple-like blushes, and she was full of energy, while Ryan''s breathing was a bit rough and occasionally yawned.


    Although the body has been very good. But for nearly two months of dieting, you can only take in the most basic calories a day, even if it is an iron body, there will be problems.


    "It''s been a long time since I''ve been to London."


    Nicole habitually got into Ryan''s arms and raised her head to welcome a sweet and gentle kiss. Then he continued, "I am going to hold a grand party here to entertain my old friends."


    Because of the relationship between the two who had settled in London in the late 1980s, Nicole still has many old friends here to keep in touch.


    "Anyway, the Matrix is ??over, you have enough vacation to do what you want to do."


    Perhaps it¡¯s also a habitual relationship. Ryan¡¯s hand fell on Nicole¡¯s chest. Nicole didn¡¯t mean to object, but changed his posture to a more convenient position. ¡°Ryan, the filming lasted for a year, except for the crew. Almost everyone of those perverted director brothers is going crazy, you know, Keanu said that after making the movie, he will spend half a year wandering around."


    With Keanu Reeves¡¯s character and lifestyle, I¡¯m afraid this is more than just talking.


    "What about you, Nicole." Feeling the beauty in his hands, Ryan couldn''t help kissing Nicole again. "Where are you going to wander?"


    "Wandering, unless I''m crazy."


    An Australian girl is a person who enjoys life very much. To put it another way, if conditions permit, she is a very luxurious person. "I am going to lease a small island in the Caribbean or Hawaii, and then give myself a long vacation."


    "Can you stay with me?" she asked.


    "Sorry, Nicole."


    Even though he wanted to agree, Ryan shook his head, "You know, I''m going to Poland soon, and "The Pianist" is about to start shooting."


    Nicole snorted and changed the subject automatically, "I want to visit Diana tomorrow, can you always accompany me?"


    "Of course." Ryan agreed without hesitation, and then asked curiously, "Tomorrow? I''m afraid it''s too late, we must get the consent of the royal family or the Spencer family."


    "Before I came, I contacted Earl Spencer and William Jr., and the appointment was tomorrow."


    The friendship between women is really difficult for men to understand, just like Ryan can¡¯t understand the friendship between Nicole and Diana.


    "I heard Scott say that you asked him to sell all the stocks?" Nicole suddenly remembered a call from Scott specifically.


    "Didn''t I specifically inform you and Pat?"


    Over the years sent? Jinsli a considerable part of the funds, it is also managed by Scott, maintaining the close relationship between several people, not only the friendship accumulated over the years, but also that inseparable Interests.


    "The stock market will really collapse?"


    Nicole seems to be a little disbelieved. After all, IT stocks are rising like crazy. The later the stocks are released, the greater the gains they can get, at least on the surface.


    "Nicole, stocks are just a bunch of numbers. It doesn''t make any sense if they can''t be exchanged for funds. We have made enough money and there is no need to take risks." Ryan still said when he treated Scott.


    Nicole is a very smart woman. She naturally understands the possible consequences of greed. After thinking about it, she kissed Ryan''s lips forcefully, "Pat said, that part of her is up to you, then I I''ll leave it to you, I''ll just wait to count the money."


    "Scott will not let us down."


    Ryan rubbed Nicole''s head deliberately, in exchange for the fierce look in the Australian girl''s eyes. ()

 Chapter 364： London party

    The wood pulp cut through the calm lake of Althorp Manor, and the boat stopped on the simple dock. Ryan jumped ashore first, helped Nicole up again, and then took the flowers brought by the two.


    "Mr. Jenkins, Miss Kidman, please don''t disturb the princess for too long." Mr. Djoelman, who rowed them over, instructed.


    Nicole nodded, took Ryan''s arm, and walked towards the cemetery.


    Put two bunches of cornflowers, Ryan took Nicole and stared quietly at the image of Diana on the rock wall. Both of them were silent. The funeral that caused a sensation in the world more than a year ago seemed to be yesterday. .


    "May God bless you!" Nicole flipped her lips, as if praying for Diana in heaven.


    After the glitz was gone and the hustle and bustle stopped, only Diana was quietly accompanied.


    This is the place where Diana grew up. She who rests here, I am afraid that after she leaves this world, the past right and wrong will be forgotten, right?


    Ryan knew that Diana could not escape the fate of celebrities, especially the bizarre way of death, which became the focus of discussion after the funeral. Various statements almost completely suppressed the official voice, and the British royal family was also burdened by it. A lot of pressure.


    After all, curiosity is the nature of human beings. Over the past year or so, people who made money to death have emerged one after another. Various unofficial and unauthorized memoirs of Princess Dai have flooded almost every corner of the Western world. Among them, the most positive is Swiss. One of En''s partners is Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair.


    The editor-in-chief has published many books about Diana and published a lot of secrets, including false and true. She even found Nicole and wanted to find out more so-called inside stories, but was rejected by the Australian girl.


    in fact. After attending the funeral, the people who really had a good relationship with Diana closed their mouths and hardly talked about matters related to Princess Diana.


    Limited to the rules of the royal family and the Spencer family. Ryan and Nicole spent ten minutes in total. He left the island where the cemetery was located, and returned to Althorp Manor by boat. They declined Earl Spencer''s retention.


    Returning to London from Northampton, a short drive away, Nicole sat beside Ryan and took off her black veil. It seems a little emotional.


    "Diana wanted to pursue true love when she was alive, but has she ever received true love?"


    There is no need for Ryan to answer this question. The answer is too obvious. After Diana''s death, her ex-lovers became more active and couldn''t wait to associate themselves with Diana. Sold to the tabloids, they are even crazier than the media making money.


    Diana''s legendary life and abnormal way of passing away determine that in the following years, people will always be raised for hype. After a while, this topic will not be so sensitive in the hearts of the British people, and it will become a favorite theme of Hollywood filmmakers.


    In the next few days, Ryan continued to repeat his diet, fitness, swordsmanship, and occasional work on the set, while Nicole was busy distributing invitations and preparing to hold a grand party.


    Now Nicole Kidman is not a young actor who temporarily lived in London in the late 1980s. No one dares to ignore the identities of the Oscar queen, Jenkins Pictures and Paramount Pictures directors.


    The venue of the party was chosen at the Hilton Hotel in London. The night it was held, it could be described as star-studded. Hundreds of reporters surrounded the hotel, almost turning it into the venue of the British Academy of Film Awards.


    Seeing Nicole dressing up in costumes and socializing and socializing in the banquet hall, Ryan felt a little emotional that his communicative skills were completely honed, and Nicole seemed to be naturally adapted to this kind of occasion. Only on this occasion can she bring out her elegance.


    He couldn''t help but remember that Nicole once said that in the future, if you are tired of Hollywood, you will move to that farm in Queensland. If you are tired of Hollywood, it may take 20, 30 years or even longer for Australian girls to be tired of farm peace. I''m afraid that one month is enough for his life.


    Ryan was very convinced of this.


    "Hi, Ryan." The voice from around interrupted Ryan''s cranky thinking. He recovered and smiled at the other side, "Hi, Ralph, it''s been a long time."


    The person here is Ralph Fiennes, the murderer in Schindler''s List.


    Seeing him, Ryan''s eyes turned, but he reserved a special role for him.


    "I just came back from vacation with Liam."


    Ralph Fiennes pointed to Nicole. The tall Liam Neeson was greeting Nicole.


    "Where have you been, is there any fun?" Ryan asked cooperatively.


    "I went to Southeast Asia." Ralph Fiennes shook his head, "I can''t talk about fun, but I have seen some cultures different from ours."


    "Have you finished your vacation preparations?" Ryan suddenly laughed.


    "You have a suitable role?" Ralph Fiennes'' eyes lit up, "Ryan, we are old friends."


    Ryan''s smile suddenly became mysterious and unpredictable, and he deliberately circled Ralph Fiennes, and when the other party became more and more surprised, he suddenly spoke.


    "You know, Ralph, there is a very charming trait in you."


    "Charming? Are you sure you are not talking about yourself, Ryan?" The tall Liam Neeson walked over at this moment.


    "I understand." Ralph Fiennes probably thought of something, spread his hand and said, "Ryan, you just said that I''m suitable for acting as an evil villain."


    "I still remember the **** and charming devil in Schindler''s List." Ryan shook his finger. "So, I think there is a character that suits you too well."


    Ralph Fiennes made a gesture not to sell off, please say.


    "Ralph, let''s play Voldemort." Ryan said seductively, "This is a role I reserved exclusively for you."


    "Oh, God, it''s an honor." Ralph Fiennes couldn''t help covering his forehead. "Can I not say thank you?"


    "of course can."


    Ryan deliberately made an exaggerated smile, "Wow, I took care of the hardest actor in the movie. Director Columbus should thank me very much."


    "Hey, Ryan, I haven''t agreed yet."


    Hearing what Ralph Fiennes said, Ryan spread his hands, "But you didn''t refuse, Ralph."


    It was an unexpected joy at the party to be able to fix Voldemort. Some time ago, the crew contacted Ralph Fiennes'' agent, but he was delayed until now because he was out on a trip.


    In the middle of the banquet, the arrival of another person caused a sensation in the audience and made Ryan stunned at Nicole''s communicative ability. Although the other party came here, it was more for the sake of the deceased mother, but Being able to come in person instead of being represented is enough to show the importance of Nicole as a master.


    "May God bless you, Your Highness." Ryan and Nicole hurriedly greeted them.


    "Ryan, Nicole, you are welcome."


    About a year ago, the public relations crisis brought a lot of changes to the royal family. William was the spokesperson of the Windsor family. Over the past year or so, the royal family has made great efforts to help him create a people-friendly Image.


    William himself performed really well, becoming the most popular figure in the royal family after Princess Diana.


    "Grandma is very happy, Harry Potter finally chose England."


    No matter how close to the people, William will be the future master of the Kingdom of Great Britain. The lively banquet hall suddenly became quiet. After saying hello, most people looked at the three people in the field.


    "It''s my honor, Your Highness." Ryan was impeccable in etiquette.


    Prince William came and went in a hurry. After talking about the past with Nicole, he stayed for less than ten minutes before leaving.


    "You sent an invitation to the royal family?" Ryan asked Nicole on the way back to the banquet hall after sending William away.


    "I sent the invitation only out of courtesy. I didn''t expect that the royal family would really send someone." Nicole was obviously also a little surprised.


    "The royal family is also making corresponding changes."


    Elizabeth II has gone through so many ups and downs, how could he not understand that sometimes flexibility is a necessary choice, "William is the spokesperson of the royal family to the front desk."


    In today¡¯s information-developed era, the royal family no longer has the mystery of the past. To some extent, it is somewhat similar to Hollywood stars. Their every move can easily attract people¡¯s attention, and they want to keep their position. Not only rely on tradition, but also have the support of the people.


    The one currently in charge of No. 10 Downing Street is bent on abolishing the privileged position of the Windsor royal family.


    No matter what they do, Ryan will definitely stay away. He will neither let himself nor Nicole mix in this muddy water.


    The party also announced that Nicole¡¯s trip to London has temporarily come to an end She made appointments with a few same-sex friends and girlfriends, leased a small island in Hawaii, and prepared to start enjoying her long vacation.


    At the same time, there was news from Poland that the crew of "The Pianist" was ready in the early stages, and only when Ryan arrived, the filming would officially begin.


    In fact, without waiting for Ryan to go, Roman Polanski has already started trial shooting. In many shots of this film, Spearman is a bystander, and a large number of fragmented shots need to be edited together in one place.


    Because Ryan had greeted people in advance, the Polish government has taken the security work of the crew extremely seriously, and there will never be a large-scale protest by the Poles during the filming of "Schindler''s List".


    "Ryan, when I finish my vacation, I will go to Warsaw to accompany you."


    "Wait after the Oscars." After a while, the Oscars ceremony will be held, and both Ryan and Nicole will attend.


    "Ok."


    In the VIP room of the airport, after the two lingering kisses, they took their own planes and flew to different destinations. ()

 Chapter 365： Dont forget to notify

    In London in February, the breath of spring can already be smelled, while Warsaw, the capital of Poland, is still in the snow and ice. Because of his physique, Ryan dislikes this kind of weather the least, but there are many scenes in The Pianist. , All need to be completed in ice and snow.


    In the hotel room, Ryan was sitting next to the old-fashioned fireplace, enjoying the pitiful little nutritious meal, and just about to pick up the hot coffee next to him, Roman Polanski, who was sitting on the sofa, spoke.


    "Ryan, you have to maintain a diet. If you can, I hope you are thinner." He reminded.


    "Roman, believe me, if you bring me a whole roasted lamb at this time, I can eat it all!" Ryan waved his hand and vented the grievances accumulated in his stomach for a long time, and said, "I weigh only one hundred now. A little over thirty-two pounds!"


    Switching to the metric system means that they are in their early sixties. With Ryan''s height of six feet one inch, such a thin body is like the bamboo in the location pictures sent by Ang Lee.


    Ryan even doubted that if the wind and snow outside were slightly heavier, he would fly into the sky and become a part of the wind and snow.


    Maybe you can turn into a snowman!


    Thinking wildly, diverting attention is undoubtedly a good way to deal with hunger. Ryan was helpless. The sudden blizzard in Warsaw brought huge obstacles to the crew and forced the filming to be pushed back.


    "Ryan, there are some shots. I hope you can be hungry for a while before shooting. The feeling of hunger will help you understand the character''s situation at that time."


    Roman Polanski¡¯s words are simply worsening. Ryan is very suspicious. He made a special trip to invite this guy to take the shot. Is it the right choice?


    Shaking his head, Ryan walked to the piano and made some simple preparations. With both hands resting on the black and white keys, Chopin''s Ballarat No. 1 in G minor played. Although he had tossed the music aside over the years, he had practiced hard as a child. After coming to Warsaw. It didn''t take much time to find the feeling of the year. But it takes time and practice to restore a certain level of performance.


    Ryan remembers clearly that his previous life, Adrian Brody, paid a painful price for this role. During the filming, even while suffering from hunger every day, I had to spend at least four hours to practice piano, which is actually nothing.


    If you want to get what kind of gains, you have to pay equal or more.


    Besides, I''m afraid that I don''t even have one-tenth of Spearman''s back then.


    After practicing piano for a while, Polanski and Ryan discussed the role. I left. Originally, he took over the job of director. He focused more on the subject matter of the movie and the script with an icy atmosphere. He never thought that he and the representative figures of Hollywood commercial films would be the same.


    Unexpectedly. There are so many similarities between his views on this film and his own. Does this guy also have deep insights into art films?


    It''s just why he can''t concentrate on artistic creation, instead of focusing on the commercial popcorn that he doesn''t know so-called?


    This is simply a crime, and wasting talent is a crime!


    Of course Ryan doesn¡¯t know what Roman Polanski thinks, nor does he care too much about his opinion of him. This old Polish man has a weird character, but standing behind the camera, he will become a serious and responsible director, perhaps once In the experience of rushing to Hollywood, he is not like traditional European directors, he has to add in the picture those things that the audience does not like.


    When Ryan wants to come, his intersection with Roman Polanski is limited to this movie.


    The mobile phone rang suddenly, and the monotonous ringtone was unusually harsh in the quiet room. Ryan looked at the displayed number and smiled.


    "Hi, Nicole."


    "My dear, guess where I am now." Accompanied by Nicole''s voice was the sound of a woman''s laughter and the rolling sound of the waves.


    "Hawaii? Beach?" Ryan asked.


    "That''s right, but no extra points." Nicole put aside her laughter and asked, "How about you, how about you?"


    "Warsaw is a land of ice and snow, and it is currently being ravaged by a blizzard." Ryan said helplessly, "I''m hiding in the hotel. The old-fashioned fireplace here is very distinctive."


    "Protect yourself, Ryan." Nicole''s voice was obviously worried. "Don''t forget your physique."


    "Don''t worry, I''m very strong." Although knowing that Nicole can''t see it, Ryan made a bent arm pose.


    "Don''t forget, you are not in good health now." Nicole probably remembered Ryan''s somewhat impotent performance in London. "I knew that making this movie would suffer so much, and I would stop you if I said anything. ."


    "Well, my dear, it''s only a few months, and it will pass soon."


    "Well, that''s it for the time being... Ah, Tyler!" Nicole said after screaming, "The little guy wants to talk to you."


    Then, Taylor''s voice rang in his ears, "Ryan, I heard that it is snowing on your side?"


    "It''s estimated that the snow on the street will be below knees." Ryan walked to the window, and outside was a world of violent wind and heavy snow.


    "Oh... this way." Listening to the voice, Ryan guessed that there shouldn''t be any good things next. Sure enough, "I haven''t seen snow for a long time, Ryan, can you send me a copy?"


    After speaking, the little guy over there had already made a crisp laugh.


    "My dear, if there is a chance, I will let FedEx send you to the North Pole to see the snow..."


    "Just don''t grin, it''s too cold there."


    After hanging up the phone, most of the depression brought about by the diet disappeared. Just as Ryan wanted to go around in the lobby of the hotel, the mobile phone rang again.


    This time it is a number from Los Angeles.


    "Hello, Ryan."


    Despite the hoarse and blurred voice, Ryan could still hear its owner, "Charlie?"


    "I didn''t expect it to be me, and yes, I guess you rarely think of me."


    "Did you...drink?" Ryan asked tentatively.


    "In a good mood, I drank a little bit."


    A good mood? Judging by Ryan''s voice, this seems to be the other way around, right?


    "Did something happen, Charlie?"


    "You know, Ryan, I got the Golden Globe Award. The Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, a very heavy award, many people congratulated me, I knew, I didn¡¯t know, and some came to the door in person. There are also calls..."


    "Sorry, Charlie." Ryan scratched his head. After he explained the public relations matters, he forgot about it. "Now congratulations, isn''t it too late?"


    "Late, how come?" Charlize Theron''s voice sounded very weird, as if biting his lips and tongue, suppressing something, "I am not a fool, with my qualifications and connections, if you were not pushing behind you If you do, this award will definitely not fall into my hands..."


    Listening to the strange murmur on the phone, Ryan sighed, "Charlie..."


    "Ryan, how should I thank you? Oscar nomination for best actress, wow...how do you want me to thank you?" South Africa Diamond never stopped saying, "According to the rules of Hollywood, I must thank you , Don¡¯t say that we are good friends, I have never regarded you as my good friend!"


    "Charlie, you drank too much." Ryan suddenly felt a headache. What''s the matter? Did he help others and make a mistake?


    "Where are you now, London or Warsaw?"


    The person on the other side of the phone must have drunk too much. Ryan didn¡¯t even listen to what he said, and said to himself, ¡°I¡¯ve been in Hollywood for so long, and I know the rules of paying back...¡±


    "Okay, Charlie, stop talking drunk."


    Frowning, Ryan sighed again, and simply hung up the phone. God knew what a drunk woman would say.


    It seems that I should keep some distance from the South African diamond?


    After living for so many years together, Ryan knows the inferior nature of men. Even if his control is slightly stronger, he is definitely stronger than other men. Otherwise, there will be no Queen Nicole, and Na Tally...


    Even if the other person''s body shape to the attentive character is the type I like very much, but...


    Ryan finally made up his mind. From now on, Charlize Theron¡¯s affairs should be handed over to Pie Jinsli, and she should not blend in with it. If something happens, it¡¯s a big trouble. .


    Warsaw is icy and snowy, and Wellington, the capital of New Zealand in the southern hemisphere, is a hot summer. Peter Jackson temporarily moved his studio to this city to cope with the filming of the entire "Lord of the Rings".


    At this time, the crew, including him and his wife, are in the process of determining the final audition results for several roles.


    "Is there any opinion on the candidate of Legolas?" Peter Jackson continued after seeing everyone shaking their heads, "That''s him."


    He said to his assistant, "Send an official notice to Orlando Bloom''s agent."


    Then, the New Zealand fat man said a long list of actors'' names, such as Sir Ian McLean who played Gandalf, and Ilya Wood who played Frodo Baggins played Kellan Choi. Cate Blanchett of Elle and so on.


    At this point, there is only one main role left in this group play, and no candidate has been determined.


    "Arwen? Evening star." Peter Jackson picked up an audition photo in the profile. The person on it had black hair and a long face. "I think the most suitable candidate is her."


    Julie Stewart shook her head without hesitation, everything else is easy to say, this actor said she would not agree with anything.


    "Peter." Francis Watts winked at her husband.


    She didn''t expect her husband to be so stubborn. Almost most people in the circle of this actress had heard of it, and she definitely couldn''t pass Jenkins Pictures.


    "okay then."


    Peter Jackson is neither an idealist nor a stubborn paranoia. He took another piece of information, "Then choose her."


    He turned his head again and said to his assistant, "Don''t forget to notify Miss Charlize Theron''s agent." ()

 Chapter 366： Filming in Warsaw

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! The blizzard raging in Warsaw finally stopped. Although the sun was weak, the crew was still engaged in normal work, so many people each Staying for an extra day will consume all the green dollar bills. Even if Ryan paid more than 30 million U.S. dollars in production costs for this film, the money is not so wasted.


    The crew hired a lot of manpower, and with the assistance of the Warsaw City Hall, it took more than a day to clear out a few blocks of the temporary studio and location.


    Before shooting, Ryan still has very important things to do, and that is to dye her long hair black again.


    For a long time to come, his hair will have to maintain this color, because after the filming of "The Pianist" and Aragon, Peter Jackson personally called and hoped that he could appear in May at the latest. new Zealand.


    Although "The Pianist" is about the same massacre, the style is completely different from "Schindler''s List". Whether it is the script provided by Ryan or the picture conceived by Roman Blansky, there is no sensational element. Some are cold, the kind of objective to cruel cold.


    Ryan naturally knows what kind of performance should be used in the filming, even if it is a problem, it is a small problem. Other Jewish actors seem to have a hard time adapting, even if Roman Polanski has spoken enough before the filming begins.


    "God, look, look, they''re building walls!"


    This actress, named Jessica Kate Meyer, stood in front of the window and saw the workers on the street outside building walls. It seemed that she wanted the Jewish quarter to be completely sealed off. Her voice was a bit loud and very frightening. .


    As soon as Ryan and other people gathered around the window, Roman Polanski behind the camera called to stop.


    He walked up to the actress, pointed outside the window and said, "What I need is calmness, look. Look, there is a wall outside. You don''t need to be surprised, and you don''t need feelings."


    The actors including Ryan soon took their place, and the assistant director shouted to start.


    "Look, come and take a look." The actress seemed to have found her status, with no emotion in her lines, "They are building walls."


    Spearman''s family stood in front of the window, looking outside silently, like a group of bystanders.


    After shooting another indoor group show. Ryan walked aside and sat on the lounge chair to slowly adjust his breathing. Because most of the crew were Jewish actors, the atmosphere of the crew was a bit depressed, just like when filming "Schindler''s List."


    "Need something to drink?"


    "Hi, Chen."


    The person who came was Chen Jiazheng. He came here with the last crew of Jenkins Films before the filming started, and temporarily acted as an assistant to Roman Polanski''s assistant, to put it in plain language. That''s the chores in the crew.


    Don''t underestimate such an inconspicuous position, the students of the Film Academy of Southern California University, I don''t know how many people have broken their heads and are unable to enter the formal film crew.


    "Ryan. Before coming, Professor Great asked me to tell you that if you fail to meet the required requirements this semester, he will never let you graduate next year."


    After passing the hot coffee, Chen Jiazheng sat beside Ryan. "Our mentor is someone who can do what he says."


    "Don''t worry, I won''t let Professor Great grab the handle." Ryan suddenly thought of the other three guys, "Darren and them?"


    This opportunity to enter the crew to practice. They shouldn''t let it go.


    "Darren and the others are more interested in horror films. They followed Ms. Sloan to the crew of "Scream 3"." Chen Jiazheng looked at the Jewish actors, seemingly in a trance, and said after a long time, "I see. After reading the original work, I saw the crew written by you in the company, and I specifically asked Ms. Sloan to have a chance to come to Poland."


    "Just call me directly." Ryan patted his arm, Chen Jiazheng shook his head, and suddenly said, "Being here, being able to meet friends like you and Darren is my biggest gain."


    "You gave me too much help," he said again.


    Ryan changed Chinese, "Well, don''t talk about these girls, talk about why you are here, right?"


    Ryan¡¯s vulgar remarks caused Chen Jiazheng to laugh, but he then returned to his serious expression, ¡°At present, the most influential movie with the theme of the Holocaust is known as Schindler¡¯s List. I know you Starred in that movie, and now that he is going to make "The Pianist" and also starred in Mr. Spearman himself, then this movie must have his uniqueness."


    He seemed to hesitate, and he said, "Ryan, don''t you know that you know China during World War II? The crimes committed by the Japanese in my homeland are absolutely no less than the Nazi massacre of the Jews..."


    "Sorry."


    Speaking of this, he only remembered that the opposite was a Jewish descent.


    "It doesn''t matter." Ryan asked after making a nonchalant gesture, "Is it... the Nanjing Massacre?"


    "Do you know about this?"


    After spending so many years in California, Chen Jiazheng naturally knew that the vast majority of Americans neither knew nor cared about this tragedy in history.


    Ryan was silent.


    "The Japanese still don''t recognize it..."


    Listening to Chen Jiazheng''s intermittent words, Ryan remained silent.


    "If possible, I would really like to shoot a movie with my own hands to remind the world that in the Far East during World War II, a group of beasts also committed terrible tragedies."


    Looking at his confident friend, Ryan broke his silence, "Chen, I...I am an outsider, so I can¡¯t say much. Just remind you that there is a book called Rabe¡¯s Diary, which should be in 1996 or 1997. Published, it is about the history you are talking about. If you have time, you can find it and have a look. I think it will be helpful to you."


    "Also, if you need it, I can find someone to introduce Ms. Zhang Chunru to you." Ryan asked suddenly, "Are you sure you don''t stay in Hollywood?"


    "After graduation, I will return to China." Chen Jiazheng said very firmly.


    "Ok."


    Everyone has their own ideals, this kind of thing cannot be forced, Ryan thought for a while, "If you need help, just open your mouth. Although you don¡¯t know it well, I think whether it¡¯s China or the United States, without money, it¡¯s not good. movie of."


    Despite this, Ryan knew that if Chen Jiazheng returned to China, he would be very limited in helping.


    Compared with Steven Spielberg of the year, Roman Polanski''s shooting speed can only be described by tortoise speed. Only a few shots can be taken in a whole day. That is a common occurrence, and the crew officially started. The shooting time is not long, and actors including Ryan also need some time to adapt to his style.


    Time slowly entered the end of March, the cold in the air in Warsaw gradually dissipated, and the sun became warmer, but the good weather did not substantially change the progress of the crew. When the filming of Spearman¡¯s loneliness Ryan and Polanski had a disagreement while remaining in the scene.


    "Sufficient hunger can make you understand what Spearman has been deprived of. Without a certain degree of personal experience, it is difficult for you to understand his original behavior."


    On the street full of debris, Roman Polanski yelled at Ryan, "If you don¡¯t know how much hunger will affect your behavior, how can you as an actor go beyond the craving for food? Thinking?"


    "Mr. Polanski, I am a person first, and an actor second. If I can''t guarantee even the most basic physical strength, how can I talk about acting?" The old-fashioned suit was over Ryan, and his pants and sleeves were empty. How thin has he been.


    "Are you afraid of affecting the image on the Oscar red carpet in a few days?" Polanski seems to have forgotten that he is not only facing an actor, but also the producer of the film. At this time, his words are already silent. Choose a word.


    Ryan''s cheeks had sunk long ago, and he was too lazy to care about this guy, and went straight to the rest area, sat on the chair, took the dark chocolate that George had prepared, and supplemented the physical energy consumed by the shooting.


    In his opinion, Polanski seems to be crazy now, faintly revealing that he wants to turn this movie into a landmark work in film history. The requirements for actors are not strict, but are described as abnormal.


    As for myself, in order to film the continuous dieting, I was in a state of hunger almost every day, and his body began to have adverse reactions. Even so, Roman Polanski asked him to continue to lose weight, and it seemed that he was really going to become skinny. Will be satisfied.


    Ryan thinks that his professionalism is good enough to be able to achieve this point, which can be seen from the admiration of the crew''s eyes.


    Honor is very important, but if you want to completely destroy your body for this, it won''t be worthwhile.


    Besides, at the expense of his own body, he became a great director of Roman Polanski. He is not so great yet.


    Ryan even considered if Roman Polanski continues to be paranoid and confused, then replace him.


    It is not a big deal that the producer/star and the director are in conflict. At this time, someone needs to play a lubricating role in the middle, and Polanski¡¯s agent plays this role well.


    "Ryan, you know what happened to Roman. He just wanted to truly reproduce the situation back then." Standing next to Ryan''s chair, the other side explained to the director in a low voice, "I know his request was a bit excessive. ..."


    "Forget it." Ryan waved his hand casually and said, "Let''s shoot other people''s scenes first. I''m going back to Los Angeles tomorrow to attend the Oscars. When I get back..."


    "As long as you keep your current body shape, I promise there will be no problems."


    The agent wiped the cold sweat that did not actually exist on his forehead. He was very worried that Ryan would appear on the Oscar red carpet with this appearance. Will those crazy fans charter a plane to Warsaw and kill Roman? Poland. Ski.

 Chapter 367： Big hit

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! After entering the 1990s, the Oscar award ceremony on the whole showed a decline in ratings, and film art and Even if the Academy of Sciences is conservative, it will not look at its own signs of dimness. Since a few years ago, they have increased their cooperation with the media. When the Oscars season comes, they will always create more information for the news media. The topic of constant speculation.


    The media is also happy to cooperate with the college, which is obviously a win-win situation.


    Among all the topics, guessing which movie is the hottest award is both the oldest and the most effective method.


    There is no doubt that the biggest hit of this year¡¯s Oscars is "Saving Private Ryan". Except for the film¡¯s piercing shots, both the theme and the quality of the film are the most powerful contenders for the best film.


    Even the media early awarded the best director the Golden Man to its director Steven Spielberg. After all, Robert Bernini, who also nominated the best director at the same time, is an Italian. Peter Weir¡¯s film "Trumen" "The World of the Dead" cruelly satirizes the Hollywood film industry. The Academy will never award him the best director. The most powerful competitor comes from the director of "Leaves of the Deserted Island" Robert Zemikis, but he is on The second prize is one year ahead of Spielberg.


    Similarly, the media booked the best actress in advance to Meryl Streep. Although "A True Confession" is not her masterpiece, the competitor nominated at the same time is too weak.


    Gwyneth Paltrow is considered the most experienced competitor, but the film she was nominated for is a British film, or a comedy about Shakespeare, which is inherently flawed.


    Cate Blanchett, the actress of "Elizabeth I", can be described as stunning, but Australia¡¯s nationality is a big issue. It is impossible for the Film Academy to have the best actor and best actress from Australia in the previous two sessions. After the protagonist, this time the best actress was awarded to an Australian, otherwise the American actors would have to rebel.


    And Charlize Theron, who was nominated for "Perfect". If there is no strong support from Ryan Jenkins, where can this shining South African diamond come from? If you want to get the best actress, you still have to get a few years of qualifications.


    As for Emily Watson, who appeared in "She''s Lonely Than Fireworks", she was obviously here to accompany the run.


    It is considered that the most fiercely contested award this year is the best actor. In the eyes of the media, the biggest hit is neither Tom Hanks nor Jack Nicholson, who performed well in "Perfect", but Ryan. .


    That''s right, it''s Ryan.


    The media agreed. Ryan''s performance in "Remains of a Deserted Island" greatly exceeded everyone''s expectations and achieved a major breakthrough in acting. The performance of one person propped up the entire movie and brought a box office with an artistic soul. Bomb-After "Remains of a Deserted Island" went down in North America, the North American box office stayed at more than 360 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office exceeded 600 million U.S. dollars. At present, the overseas box office is still stacking-this is not because they judge Ryan The biggest reason to be popular.


    What is the biggest reason for the media?


    According to the tradition of the Oscars, the best actress of the previous session will award the best actor of the next session. And who was the best actress of the previous year? Nicole Kidman!


    Think about it, when Nicole Kidman personally handed over the actor''s highest honor to his brother, what kind of chain reaction and sensation would it cause? The two are in North America and have countless supporters all over the world. This moment will surely attract the attention of the whole world.


    Even if it is for ratings, even for sensational effects, even to promote the Oscar brand, the film academy should award the best actor to Ryan Jenkins.


    This is the analysis in many media. As for the final result, apart from God, only the accountant at PricewaterhouseCoopers who is responsible for counting the votes knows.


    Many media have always wanted to interview Ryan''s views on this matter. But because his relationship with shooting a new movie in Warsaw was unsuccessful, and when Ryan stepped onto the red carpet, they immediately threw this question behind their heads, because Ryan¡¯s image was too unexpected, even better than "Desert Island". The appearance of the Tarzan in the rest of my life is also surprising.


    His long black hair was neatly combed behind his head, revealing completely sunken cheeks, set off by the fit teal dress, making him look like a palm tree next to Chandler Hall, tall and thin. , Especially on the smooth forehead and slender hands, it seems that apart from the skin, there are bones.


    Does he have one hundred and twenty pounds?


    This is the inner question of many reporters. When he appeared in front of the media last time, he was already very thin, but now he is a bit exaggerated.


    Many people suddenly remembered his thin and tall appearance when he was a child.


    The fans on both sides of the red carpet suddenly became quiet. They didn''t understand why their idol suddenly became what it is now. Apart from the bright smile, the whole person seemed to be narrow.


    Could it be that Ryan was seriously ill? The entertainment reporters are all Lenovo''s rich people. They immediately thought that countless super geniuses in history had contracted incurable diseases...


    More people thought of the movie being shot in Poland. Since Jenkins Pictures announced the adaptation of "Dead City" into a movie, this autobiographical novel has instantly become a bestseller. They have also read it carefully and thought of the book. The protagonist''s experience came to understand.


    Then there is admiration, an accomplished superstar who has such perseverance in order to perfectly reproduce the characters in the book.


    Although this admiration can only last for a very short time.


    Despite being slightly surprised by the reactions on both sides of the red carpet, Ryan waved his hands and walked to the interview area. The reporter from the TV station in charge of the live broadcast came over immediately.


    "Mr. Jenkins, you seem to be in very bad health?" The reporter asked the question in his mind.


    "You must have heard that I am shooting "The Pianist" based on "Dead City" in Warsaw. The protagonist in it is an artist who has been on the verge of hunger for a long time.


    After making a gesture that you understand, Ryan continued, "My body is in good condition, but I''m a little thinner, don''t worry."


    "The media think Miss Kidman will personally hand out the best actor figurine to you tonight. What do you think?"


    "Until the last minute, anything can happen."


    Ryan waved his hand, said nothing, and walked directly to Chandler Hall. Nicole, who walked the red carpet with Cate Blanchett, was waiting for him at the door.


    "Damn! I should really mobilize all the shareholders and management of the company to forcibly cancel the "Pianist" project."


    After returning to Los Angeles from Poland, Ryan didn¡¯t know how many times Nicole had complained. He immediately flexed his arms and waited for her to hold herself. He walked and said, ¡°Don¡¯t forget, I hold the controlling stake in Jenkins Pictures. ..."


    "Don''t forget, I am the chairman of the board of directors of Jenkins Pictures!" Even in name only.


    "My dear, I promise that there will be no problems." Ryan''s voice can only be heard by them, "I will recover soon after the shooting."


    "Hi, Leon."


    The two walked faster and caught up with the pair in front. Leonardo DiCaprio stopped and turned around, "Hello, Ryan, Nicole."


    "Hello, Leon, you are so handsome today." Nicole complimented him.


    This is indeed the case. Leonardo has a neat big back, a black dress with a white shirt, and the tall women around him make him look extraordinarily handsome.


    "Don''t tell me, Leon." Ryan looked at him. The woman was very tall, at least one inch taller than Nicole, who was five feet and ten inches.


    Although Leonardo likes a model with long blond legs, even if he is basically playing, there seem to be few who can bring him to important occasions, and this woman who seems to be a model next to him can actually make Xiao Li He must be serious about taking the Oscar red carpet.


    And after tonight, this female model will definitely become famous in the United States.


    "This is Gisele Bundchen, a signed model from Brazil and Victoria''s Secret." After introducing the female partner, Leonardo looked around again, "I shouldn''t need to introduce these two?"


    Gisele Bundchen greeted Ryan with a look of surprise, and asked hesitantly, "You..."


    "I and Leon are good friends."


    Ryan patted Leonardo''s arm lightly, "Let''s not get in the way here, let''s go in together."


    "it is good."


    The four people walked into Chandler Hall talking and laughing.


    Just outside of Ryan¡¯s eyes, Gisele Bundchen¡¯s eyes flashed a strange look, and it was very correct to promise Leonardo DiCaprio¡¯s pursuit. Not only did he embark on the coveted Oscar red carpet. , I also met a big man like Ryan Jenkins, and may even become friends. Then the development will be very smooth in the future Ryan did not take this supermodel from the previous life too much, Leon Nardo is a standard playboy. In addition to those vices, he has a lot of common problems that playboys should have. Although Gisele Bundchen is a very clever woman-can become the world''s richest woman in the entertainment industry. Is it simple? It appeared a few years in advance, and I am afraid it would be difficult for this man to take care of it.


    Well, Hollywood men have this virtue, and they can''t control others.


    When he walked to the seat, Ryan shook his head. He still didn''t know how to solve this mess.


    "Ryan, it''s such a pity."


    Leonardo didn¡¯t know how to convince the pair behind him and changed the seat behind him. After Ryan greeted the people around him, he leaned in and said in a low voice, ¡°The catwalk after the New Year, Victoria¡¯s There are a few more secretly models from South America, but unfortunately you went to the UK at the time, and now you still have the opportunity to ask Giselle to ask some of her companions to come out and let¡¯s have a party..."

 Chapter 368： The heat will die

    What Leonardo said must be the angels of Victoria''s Secret. The most famous ones in the previous life probably made their debut in the past few years. The long blond legs are indeed very attractive.


    But Ryan shook his head, "I have been too busy lately, and I will return to Poland soon after Oscar."


    As he said, his eyes drifted quickly from Nicole''s body.


    The Australian girl seems to be chatting with Naomi Watts, but her ears have been erected a long time ago, and her light blue eyes will cast attention from time to time. Ryan believes that Leonardo¡¯s words must all fall into it. In her ears.


    Sure enough, after Ryan turned his head, Nicole ended the chat with Naomi Watts just right, and leaned in and said in a low voice, "I heard that the models under the Victoria''s Secret are very special. If I want to meet, I A party can be held, and I am fairly familiar with their person in charge."


    If Ryan could take this kind of misalignment seriously, then he would really be a fool.


    "Forget it, I''m not interested." Ryan vetoed it for the first time.


    The corners of Nicole''s mouth curled up, but from the corner of her eyes she caught sight of another figure with long blond legs, frowning, and finally said nothing.


    The most attractive part of this year''s Oscars is destined to not be any winner. The host Ubi? Fort Gordon stole all the limelight from the moment he appeared.


    She appeared in the costume of Elizabeth I, swaying and laughing almost all the people on the scene. If it is to adjust the atmosphere and be funny, she definitely overwhelmed Billy Christo''s best movie song skewer.


    Last year''s Oscar created a new high in recent years due to the relationship with "Titanic", and it also gave the Oscar, whose influence was somewhat declining, a shot in the heart.


    If you want to surpass last year this year, you must be bold and innovative. Judging from the opening effect, it seems good, but I don¡¯t know if the audience in front of the TV will buy it.


    "Guess what, dear, who will be the big winner tonight." Nicole whispered after smiling and applauding.


    "It must be Ubi? Fort Gordon. Our dear Majesty Ubi must be the winner of life tonight!"


    Ryan''s voice was not low. Many people around heard his jokes and immediately laughed. The situation here also attracted the attention of the broadcaster, and several cameras were aimed at this side at the same time.


    With a low cough, Ryan took on a serious look in an instant.


    After several routine activities on the stage. The awards quickly kicked off, with Kim Basinger, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Patrick Stewart appearing successively, and the best supporting actor, best art direction, and best make-up were also given off.


    Then Christina Ritchie, a child star, appeared on the stage and introduced "", which was nominated for best original song. Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston will perform this song together.


    The theme song of "Prince of Egypt" did not attract Ryan''s attention. Instead, he was very curious about Christina Rich.


    This girl star, who became famous almost at the same time as him, has developed a very strange trajectory in recent years. I don¡¯t know if it is a coincidence or intention. She took over almost all the roles after Natalie gave up, such as Li Ang''s " "Ice Storm" and so on.


    It''s a pity that Christina Ritchie did not get rid of the child star curse. After growing up, I completely lost my childhood spirituality.


    On the stage, Fort Gordon¡¯s clothes were changed one after another, and the Little Golden Man was awarded one by one to the winners. This year''s Oscars did have a lot of innovation and change, and strive to use a variety of methods. attract the audience.


    For example, please go to Sophia Roland, who has not appeared for a long time, to introduce the Italian film "Life is Beautiful".


    For example, let Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, a pair of good friends, use chat and fart to present the best documentary award.


    In addition, the organizer specially produced a short film to review Stanley Kubrick''s film career, in order to pay tribute to the film master who passed away not long ago.


    Of course, the most surprising thing is. Wooby Gordon, who was dressed up by Elizabeth I, was given the Best Costume Design Award for Ms. Sandy Powell, who served as the costume designer for "Shakespeare in Love".


    Hmm... Ubi? Fort Gordon''s clothes are the work of this costume designer.


    "I said, Ubi is the biggest winner tonight." Ryan quietly held Nicole''s hand and whispered.


    "Okay." Nicole nodded, "I think Ubi will definitely be the front page headline tomorrow."


    then. She noticed Ryan''s hand on her thigh and lowered her voice calmly, "Ryan, do you want to be on the headlines tomorrow too? Or is your energy fully restored?"


    "Get used to it." Ryan put his hand back weakly.


    While the two were talking, Jennifer Lopez stepped onto the stage. She inherited the concise style since last year''s Oscar, and announced the winner of the best original song almost as quickly as possible.


    """Ryan Jenkins!"


    "Congratulations, Ryan." Nicole was the first to send congratulations.


    Then Leonardo, Naomi Watts and others on the other side hugged or high-five to celebrate. Ryan has won this award three times, and he has no feeling for a long time.


    Along the way, high-five with familiar people, Ryan calmly walked onto the stage and took over the little golden man from the newly promoted Latin queen.


    "Congratulations."


    Jennifer Lopez retreated to the side of the stage with a smile, Ryan nodded, "Thank you!"


    Appearing to be infected by the concise style of these two Oscars, Ryan walked to the microphone and said quickly, "Thank you, thank you everyone in my life."


    After speaking, strode down the stage without any nostalgia.


    Probably the audience is tired of the best original songs always being picked up by this silly guy. The applause is not enthusiastic at all, it''s more like dealing with business affairs. Ryan doesn''t mind, and when he walks to his seat, he shoves the little golden man. Nicole.


    "Sorry, dear, I''m going backstage." Nicole returned the little golden man.


    Nicole, the award-giving guest, went backstage, which meant that the best actor was about to be awarded.


    Sure enough, after Nicholas Cage awarded Norman Jefferson the Thalberg Memorial Award, and Liam Neeson sent the best visual figurine, Nicole Kidman stood on the Oscar stage. on.


    "If possible, I just want to award the next little golden man to one person. Although I can''t decide in the end, I hope it will be like everyone hopes. Well, Jack, Tommy, and Ian. Sir, you wouldn¡¯t care, would you? I don¡¯t think you would care either."


    When Nicole was joking, the camera frequently showed close-ups of Ryan, as if he was afraid that the United States would not know the close relationship between them¡ªto be exact, few people knew¡ªeven though the skinny was a little out of shape, Ryan Still showing the most charming smile to the camera.


    "The one who won the nomination for best actor..." Nicole''s eyes fell on Ryan, and the camera once again gave a close-up, "Ryan Jenkins "Leaves of a Deserted Island", Robert Bernini "A Beautiful Life" ", Ian McLean "God and Demons", Tom Hanks "Saving Private Ryan", Jack Nicholson "Perfect"."


    Although the camera has been keeping a close eye on this side, Ryan knows that the possibility of winning this award is infinitely small. Even Sir Ian McLean, a British actor who has come out publicly, is more likely than his own.


    Although the film school has indeed made a lot of changes, as the year goes by, the core old men are getting a lot older. People will be more conservative when they are old...


    Of course, if Ryanken spends a lot of effort on public relations, it is still very likely to win, but he doesn''t want to become a parallel importer later.


    Nicole on the stage wanted to know the result more than anyone else, she quickly opened the envelope, and Ryan immediately learned the answer from the change of her insignificant expression-she had no play.


    "The winner of the best actor is Jack Nicholson, congratulations Jack!"


    Although he was uncertain about what he thought, Nicole maintained good manners until Jack Nicholson finished his acceptance speech before leaving the stage.


    "Sorry, Ryan." These were the first words Nicole said after walking back to her seat. She seemed to be complaining about her hands.


    "Hey, dear, it has nothing to do with you." If it were not in public, Ryan would definitely kiss Nicole on the forehead, "Don''t forget my plan, we have a chance."


    Last year¡¯s actor and veteran movie star Peter Fonda slowly stepped onto the stage, and the best actress will be awarded after the best actor. This is not much in the history of the Oscars, and this award is the most important to the media. Compared with the wishful analysis of the good actor, it should be the least suspenseful.


    Not to mention the performance in the film, the single-round acting skills and qualifications, Meryl Streep has also steadily stabilized all the opponents ~ www.novelhall.com ~ the best actress nomination is, Gwyneth Paltrow "Shakespeare in Love", Meryl Streep "A True Confession", Charlize Theron "Perfectly Perfect", Emily Watson "She Is Lonely Than Fireworks", Kate Boo Ranchet "Elizabeth". "


    Most people think that the best actress is Meryl Streep, but Ryan doesn¡¯t think so. It has nothing to do with the previous life. Cate Blanchett has no public relations at all and gave up in advance. Yes, and Ryan and Nicole, who are members of the academy, received a call from Paltrow and Spielberg a long time ago and voted for...Gwyneth Paltrow.


    I believe that there will not be a minority of people who make the same choice with them. Although Spielberg apparently refused to solicit votes for Gwyneth Paltrow, he actually shot it, as well as Drew Barrymore and Ryan. It''s really hard to understand the complicated friendship between these women, and she is also canvassing votes for Gwyneth.


    Before the results are officially announced, everything is possible.


    Sometimes, the Oscar is like the World Cup, the heat will die! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote recommended votes, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to read.)

 Chapter 369： New movie queen

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! The camera lens sweeps across the faces of the nominated actresses, Charlize Theron and Kate Bran Chet is the two people with the most relaxed expressions. Neither of them has done public relations, and there is almost no chance of winning.


    And Gwyneth Paltrow was the most nervous, and Meryl Streep couldn''t get better there, even if she won the best actress once.


    As for Emily Watson, although she appeared in the camera lens, she was directly ignored.


    Want to know the result? Want to solve the suspense? Then ask Peter Fonda. The old man opened the envelope, and the muscles on his face trembled unconsciously. It was just that his acting skills were superb and his control ability was strong. Even the close-up of the camera did not capture this moment.


    The people around Meryl Streep are eager to try and stand up to celebrate victory at any time.


    Gwyneth Paltrow was expressionless, but her trembling golden eyebrows showed her inner tension.


    This is the Oscar queen after all! Even if it is a water queen, that is also Oscar''s best actress, it will double her worth, and accept the advertising endorsement contract to be soft!


    "Gwyneth Paltrow, "Shakespeare in Love"!"


    Peter Fonda read out the answer, and the audience was silent. It seemed that many people were shocked by the answer.


    However, this is the Oscar. Acting skills and qualifications are one of the conditions for winning, but not the only one.


    The silence lasted for less than a second, and then there was enthusiastic applause from the audience. Gwyneth Paltrow walked onto the stage in excitement and crying, and won the first seat, and it is very likely the only one in her life. Best Actress The Little Golden Man.


    One of the Oscar murders is irreversible, and Ryan is still one of the participants in his own hands, and whether the following murders will occur will be announced soon.


    "The winner of the best director is Steven Spielberg''s "Saving Private Ryan."


    Without any suspense, Kevin Costner, who was the guest of honor, read the name of the old Jewish man. Spielberg took the position of best director for the second time.


    There is only one suspense left for this year''s Oscars. The famous movie star Harrison Ford stood on the podium.


    "Shakespeare in Love" Donna Gigley, David Paffett, "Life is Beautiful" Ariel Ferry, Tim Bevin, "Saving Private Ryan" Steven Spielberg , "Leaves of a Deserted Island" Ryan Jenkins, Julis Stewart, Robert Zemeckis, "The Thin Red Line" Grant Hill."


    Probably the last award. Harrison Ford unhurriedly opened the envelope, "The best film is to choose one from the above five. Just like the world we live in, there are more people who are frustrated than they want to be rewarded..."


    Listening to the list read out, Ryan found that Disney was completely torn from the Weinstein brothers. "Shakespeare in Love" did not even report the name of his producer, just didn¡¯t know that Miramax and Disney were willing to do this. How much effort has been spent on PR for this movie.


    "The best picture is..." Harrison Ford raised his head and looked at his old partner, "Saving Private Ryan Steven Spielberg!"


    The people of DreamWorks and the crew of "Saving Private Ryan" instantly turned into a boiling ocean. After DreamWorks was founded, it finally won a huge harvest of awards.


    "Congratulations, Stephen." Ryan and Nicole also sent congratulations.


    Compared with DreamWorks, Jenkins Pictures can be regarded as the most lost party at the awards ceremony tonight. But this is normal, after all, most of their films are commercial films.


    It was another Oscar that fell on the curtain, as in the past, a few happy and sad.


    Because of the good cooperative relationship with Vanity Fair. After the award ceremony, Ryan and Nicole appeared in the banquet hall of the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel on time. They did not intend to stay here for long. After showing up and saying hello to Tina Brown, he was ready to go back.


    "Hey, our best actress." Ryan found one of the winners tonight and gave a light hug. "You are so beautiful tonight, Gwyneth."


    "Is the Oscar Figurine the best cosmetics?" Drew Barrymore held a wine glass with obvious mockery in his words.


    "If you don''t speak, no one will treat you as dumb, Miss Barrymore!"


    After giving Drew a cold face, the moment Gwyneth Paltrow turned her head, a bright smile was already on her face, "Thank you, Ryan, and Nicole."


    "You''re welcome." Everyone is smart, and there are some things that you don''t need to say clearly.


    "I''m going to say hello to Tina."


    Nicole pointed to the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair in the crowd. As soon as she left, Drew approached with a smile, "Ryan, the filming of "Thunderbolt Angel" is about to start, when will you come over and take a look?"


    "I will pass if I have time." Ryan suddenly remembered something and asked, "I heard that you let the screenwriter modify the script more than twenty times?"


    "There is such a thing." Speaking of business affairs, Drew put a smile on his face and said seriously, "The tiger you recommended is very good. He put forward a lot of opinions on the action scenes of the script. I think These can increase the appeal of the movie."


    Ryan nodded and asked again, "Where is Paris? Did she get into trouble."


    "I''ve been watching her, don''t worry." Drew waved his hand casually.


    "I don''t worry about you." Ryan laughed and said deliberately, "Mr. Richard Hilton handed her to me. If you take her badly, Drew, you understand..."


    "Am I as unreliable as you think?"


    "Actually, you are more unreliable than you think."


    After a few jokes with Drew Barrymore, Ryan found Tina Brown, chatted a few words at random, and left the banquet hall. Because of those unexplainable reasons, Nicole had already left the Hilton University before him. Hotel.


    As he walked to the elevator, the bald head of the two oncoming people proactively greeted him, "Hi, Ryan."


    "Hello, Patrick, and Sir McLean." Ryan simply stopped in front of the two.


    "Just call me Ian." Ian McLean hurriedly waved his hand and asked curiously, "Go home so early?"


    "I planned to go back."


    Ryan''s eyes turned from the two of them and laughed, "But after meeting you, I don''t plan to leave. I think... maybe we can talk."


    "Tell me?" Ian McLean asked, "Is it "Lord of the Rings"?"


    He has been notified by the crew that he will play Gandalf in the epic masterpiece of Jenkins Pictures.


    "No, no." Ryan shook his finger and asked, "Is there time?"


    "Of course." The two nodded immediately.


    There are not many times when they can find a suitable role for old drama bones like them. How can this kind of good opportunity come to the door?


    "George, ask the hotel for a reception room."


    Within a few minutes, Ryan and the others sat in the prepared reception room, and after a few small conversations, they quickly entered the topic.


    "Ian, Patrick, do you know the X-Men series of Marvel Comics?" Ryan is also not sure whether people of their age have seen this series of comics.


    Just after "Blade Warrior" dropped from North America and took away nearly 140 million US dollars in the box office, not only "Blade Warrior 2" was put on the agenda, Marvel Pictures also accelerated the preparatory work of "X-Men" , Has entered the stage of actor selection.


    "I heard Marvel Pictures is preparing to adapt this series into a movie?" Patrick Stewart asked tentatively.


    "Yes."


    It seems that these two people have some understanding of "X-Men", Ryan simply said directly, "I wonder if you are interested in Professor X and Magneto?"


    "You don''t think you like Patrick''s bald head?"


    Contrary to the image on the screen, Ian McLean is a very funny person, and can''t help but joking with his friend''s bald head, "If this is the case, just putting on makeup will save you a lot of money."


    The friendship between these two men is obviously good. Patrick Stewart doesn''t mind, but points to his bald head and laughs at himself, "Then I have to thank him."


    "If you two are interested, I will notify Marvel Pictures and send you the script as soon as possible." Ryan joked with him, then turned back to the topic, "I promise, this series will become no less than Batman. Classic."


    "Then... well, we will get back to you as soon as possible after reading the script."


    These two people understand that the goal of superhero movies is the market, and they will certainly not let go of the opportunity to make money when they are older.


    After sending off these two old play bones, Ryan drove out of the hotel in the car, and George took a lap to get rid of the paparazzi who might be following him. After changing another car, he drove towards his original home.


    The bodyguards who followed kept reporting the situation to George. Ryan was relieved of their abilities, thinking of some recent work in his head.


    Because "Blade Warrior" was profitable only at the box office in North America, Marvel Comics was full of confidence in its superheroes. UU Reading , especially the "X-Men" series, led people to complete the script in Stan Lee. After that, several actors were quickly identified.


    For example, they accepted the hometown Hugh Jackman recommended by Nicole to play the role of Wolverine, and Harry Berry also introduced Storm Girl through an acquaintance.


    If nothing else, the two people tonight should take over Professor X and Magneto.


    At present, the ones who haven''t finalized any actors are Jean Gray and Little Naughty. The former is easy to say, just looking for a beautiful vase, while the latter requires a little troublesome actors.


    Ryan originally wanted to recommend Scarlett Johansson, but after thinking about it, forget it. After all, playing the X-Men and playing the Black Widow would be a bit inappropriate.


    Natalie is actually a good candidate, but I want her to appear in this type of movie unless she gets a queen.


    The car entered the garage of the villa directly from the back door. Ryan shook his head and dispelled these unreliable thoughts. Things that can be solved by holding an audition are not worth the effort.

 Chapter 370： After Oscar

    Please remember the URL of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "Compared with other nominees, I feel ashamed. If I don¡¯t know how to love, I can¡¯t play For this role, I want to thank my family. I also want to thank my father and godfather, they are all respectable people."


    This is part of the acceptance speech after Gwyneth Paltrow won the best actress, but on the second day, the media interpreted countless meanings from it.


    She can be said to be the most unconvincing one in the nineties, or even the most unconvincing one in the last two decades. After the awards ceremony, the media will definitely complain about Meryl Streep.


    "As stated in the acceptance speech, Miss Gwyneth should really thank the old Mr. Paltrow and the director Spielberg. Without these two, there would never be her queen figure. "


    This is a relatively polite statement, and the criticisms of those sharp-mouthed critics are even more violent.


    "I don¡¯t know when, acting and movie roles are no longer the criteria for measuring Oscar performance awards. It is not so much that Gwyneth Paltrow won the award for "Shakespeare in Love", it is better to say that this is a victory for public relations. Everyone knows that she was born in Hollywood, a famous family, the godfather is Spielberg, the best friend is Drew Barrymore, and the friendship established with Ryan Jenkins when she was a girl, these have become the guarantee of her award. I can say responsibly that the best actress with the lowest gold content in Oscar history was born."


    After each award ceremony, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is always bombarded by the media, and this time they faced the most controversial one in recent years. In addition to Gwyneth Paltrow¡¯s best actress, Rui En did not get the best actor, which also triggered a large-scale protest in North America.


    The main force of the protest came from Ryan¡¯s fans, who can only be described as massive. According to data released by Nielsen, when Peter Fonda stepped onto the stage to prepare for the award of the best actor, this year¡¯s Oscar reached the highest audience rating of 59.75 million. Man, and when he pronounced Jack Nicholson¡¯s name. The number of viewers plummeted to 38.66 million. Although the final number of viewers returned to more than 40 million, the dissatisfaction caused by this result can be imagined.


    The awards ceremony is not over yet, and the Oscar¡¯s official website has flooded with countless visitors. They all left messages on the message board, believing that the judges were obviously age-discriminatory in their treatment of Ryan, and called on everyone to boycott the Oscars. After the end, this situation intensified, which directly led to the paralysis of the Oscar official website.


    It is said that after a period of busyness. Oscar''s official website has just been restored, and countless people have been crowded into it again, causing it to be paralyzed again. In the end, the college had to close the message board section of Oscar''s official website, and it has never been opened since then.


    The media will naturally not let go of this hot topic, and have also published targeted comments one after another.


    "So far, Oscar has gone through seventy years. Although its reputation is growing, the inevitable aging is already known to everyone. Most of the judges are getting older. Naturally, they feel sorry for the same old actors of the same age. He is kind, so if you want to get an Oscar, you have to qualify. Although Ryan Jenkins, who is less than twenty years old, has set foot in Hollywood since 1990, the judges obviously think he is too young. You can wait a little longer. year."


    "Even the shocking performance of "Remains of a Deserted Island" can''t bring him a best actor, Golden Man. We don''t understand what the judging standards of the academy are? Since they dare to withstand the pressure and put the best The heroine was awarded to the same young Gwyneth Paltrow. Why did you dismiss Ryan?"


    The remarks in the media further stimulated dissatisfied fans, and they can even be seen protesting on the Avenue of Stars.


    And a girl fan organization from the Upper East Side of New York. They announced on their official website that if Ryan is sad and disappointed because of the loss of the best actor, they can use all means to warm his injured heart and body, and when they inherit the family property, they will definitely Buy the Oscar, and Ryan will have whatever award he wants...


    More radical fans said on the Internet that they would mail bullets to the chairman of the academy, Robert Lime.


    To this end, the press spokesperson of the Film Academy specifically accepted an interview with reporters, saying, "From the performance of Ryan in "Remains of a Deserted Island", there is still room for huge improvement in his acting skills, and at his age, as long as If he doesn''t take the initiative to quit, and he has a long acting career, if he is given the best actor now, what should he use to reward him when he has a better role in the future? Can''t give him a lifetime achievement award when he is less than 30 years old? ¡¯


    He has had numerous dealings with the college in the past, and he is a member who is relatively close to the core circle. Ryan naturally understands that the pressure should be limited. After the statement of the college, he immediately updated his personal website.


    The general meaning is, ¡®Thank you for your support and concern. The college did not award the award to itself. It must have their consideration. I am still young and can wait. I will work harder in the future. ¡¯


    Ryan''s own attitude has eased the pressure on the college to a large extent. The current chairman Robert Lem called specifically, although the basics are mostly idioms, but the old men at the core of the college can also be heard from it. Still very fond of Ryan.


    This can be seen from his mentor at the USC Film School. Professor Great is one of the core members of the school.


    "Ryan, the "Remaining on a Deserted Island" that you collaborated with Robert has indeed exceeded all of our expectations. Don''t worry, you should have a longer-term pursuit."


    Professor Great looked at the young man sitting across the desk and knew that he could not be taught by the method of teaching ordinary students. "I know that your goal is a producer who controls the overall situation. You have a wealth of practical experience in this area. I think The college doesn¡¯t have much to teach you. If you want to, apply for graduation this summer."


    "That..." Ryan scratched his head, as if his credits weren''t enough, "Professor..."


    "Don''t look at me with such innocent eyes." Professor Great waved his hand. "The college teaches practical talents, not theorists. What is the use of high credits and no production experience? I will follow up in advance. Say hello from the school, let¡¯s say, what did you do in private, don¡¯t you know?"


    "Ok."


    After Professor Great waved his hand again, Ryan hurriedly left the office.


    What did you do in private? However, after receiving his personal dividend from "Leaves of a Deserted Island", he and Robert Zemeckis jointly donated 10 million U.S. dollars to the USC Film Academy.


    Well-known alumni return to their alma mater after successful careers. This can be said to be a practice in North America.


    After the Oscars, the tumultuous voice of the media lasted only a few days. After all, this is the entertainment industry center of the world. There are countless news happening every day, and fresh gossip scandals are sometimes easier to attract people''s eyes.


    At the end of March, Lucasfilm released a trailer for "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace". Although this film will not be released in North America until May, it is a Star Wars series, which is almost instantly grabbed. All the limelight is gone.


    In the film¡¯s early advertising campaign, it was revealed to the audience that this will be a complete trilogy series, about Luke Skywalker¡¯s father Anakin Skywalker and mother Padm¨¦ Amidala. The story of Anakin Skywalker in the trailer is still a kid, the media and the public naturally focused their attention on Padm¨¦ Amidala.


    The actors who play Padm¨¦ Amidala, of course they will not let it go.


    Although no particularly outstanding films and roles have come out in recent years, the name Natalie Portman is too familiar to the media. She is Matilda. She is the acting genius of the year, the most important one. Yes, she is Ryan Jenkins'' best friend.


    Even, many media have doubted whether they are communicating in private, but they can''t get any evidence.


    Long Island Middle School has become a key area guarded by reporters. Natalie''s harassment can be imagined. She quickly called Ryan, who had just arrived in Warsaw, to complain.


    "I''m reviewing my homework. Now is the most stressful time for my studies. Those guys are chattering around me. If I fail to pass the Harvard exam, I will kill them all!"


    "Dear Nat, you can treat them as air." Ryan could only answer like this when facing the young girl who was losing her temper.


    "I can''t study at ease, you know, Ryan, I''m preparing for the sat test, and I want to get the National Scholar Award."


    "Well, let me ask you to increase the number of bodyguards around you..."


    "No."


    Not waiting for Ryan to finish , Natalie on the phone interrupted, "I''m just a middle school student now..."


    "It''s better than this."


    It seems that the cold air in Warsaw has inspired Ryan, "You find George and ask him to release more news about the movie to divert the attention of reporters."


    "New news." Ryan''s words seemed to make Natalie think of a good way. "Ryan, I''ll talk to Director Lucas, and, um...If a reporter is besieging you in Warsaw, don''t blame it. To my head."


    Listening to the beeping on the phone, Ryan was very strange. What is Natalie going to do?


    Such doubts didn''t last long. Pie? Jinsli called quickly, even if it was to reduce the trouble on Natalie''s side, Ryan also nodded in agreement.


    At a later moment after Ryan nodded, Lucasfilm announced another explosive news in the Star Wars Prequel series, making this unreleased film completely the entertainment circle, and even North America¡¯s most attention. focus.

 Chapter 371： Things in Warsaw

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group


    He didn''t rush to the studio in the suburbs of Warsaw like the other colleagues who came on the same plane. Instead, he found a restaurant, and after enjoying hot cocoa and freshly grilled steak, he called. taxi.


    Other reporters may not be able to see Ryan Jenkins when they go, and with the "Los Angeles Times" relationship, even if they don''t get an interview, they can still ask a few questions.


    Just two days ago, Lucasfilm and Pai Kingsley jointly held a press conference to announce that Ryan Jenkins will join "Star Wars Prequel 2" and the role will be Anakin Tian as an adult. Walker, that is, Padm¨¦ Amidala''s lover.


    The combined influence of the Star Wars series and Ryan can be imagined. Almost instantly, the media set their sights on the distant Warsaw, and then the mighty reporters came here.


    After getting out of the taxi, as expected, all the reporters were stopped by the staff outside a street. John Bennet stood on tiptoe and looked towards the end of the street. The crew seemed to be filming a battle scene. There were many. Actors in German military uniforms shuttled back and forth with a prop gun. Occasionally, after the sound of the explosion, a small ball of fire and smoke could be seen.


    With the rumbling of the engine, an old tank painted with an iron cross also drove onto the street.


    John Bennet tried his best to search, but did not find Ryan, it seems that he was not involved in the scene.


    Retracting his gaze, he looked at the staff who stopped the reporter. Most of them were strangers. Not the employees of Jenkins Pictures he knew well. From the weird English they drank, he speculated that these were probably French or Polish.


    He has friendships with many people in Jenkins Pictures, but he has no friendship with these people.


    Just as he took out the phone to dial the number, behind the staff who blocked the way. Passed by a face of Chinese descent, this person John Bennet knew, also accepted an interview with the "Los Angeles Times", is Ryan''s classmate and friend.


    "Hey, Chen." He shouted, after attracting the other''s attention. Quickly beckoned, "Here!"


    "Mr. Bennet?" Chen Jiazheng came over strangely, "Are you here for an interview?"


    "Yes." John Bennet nodded and asked, "Can you take me in?"


    "Do you want to interview Ryan? Or Polanski director?" Chen Jiazheng asked again.


    "Of course it''s Ryan."


    Although the Roman Polanski scandal is a good subject for hype, how can it be compared to Ryan''s influence in the United States.


    "This..." Chen Jiazheng remembered that the Los Angeles Times was Ryan''s partner. "Well, let me ask Ryan if he refuses to accept..."


    He made a gesture that you understand.


    "Thank you!" John Bennet said politely, "I will treat you tonight."


    Before long, a staff member of Jenkins Pictures came over and beckoned to John Bennet. The rest of the reporters couldn''t help but look at him enviously.


    "Hey. John, take us in."


    "It''s not fair, why can he go in, we can''t?"


    "You are hindering freedom of the press."


    "Have you heard that at the beginning of the year, the Los Angeles Times raised funds and Ryan has become one of the shareholders..."


    Since returning to Warsaw, the filming progress of the entire crew has risen in a straight line. From the actors to Polanski, it seems that they have adjusted their rhythm, although from time to time there are some small accidents. But it was much smoother than the shooting when it was just turned on.


    Ryan''s scene today is over. What is still being filmed outside is the scenes Spearman saw as a bystander, the roar of the tank engine and the muffled noise of the explosion. From time to time it will be passed into the rest room.


    Because the shooting has entered the late stage, Ryan does not need to maintain a strict diet as before. After eating the dark chocolate that replenishes his strength, he looks at the reporter sitting aside.


    "John, it''s been a long time since I saw you." Ryan motioned to the staff next to him to bring him coffee, "How come you have time to come to Warsaw."


    "It''s not just me, there are at least fifty reporters blocked outside the set." He smiled and added, "This is just from the same plane as me. It is estimated that more people will come after today."


    Ryan certainly knows why they came here, definitely not for "The Pianist", after all, the hottest hype period of this movie has passed, it must be for the Star Wars series and Anakin Skywalker.


    Nat! Ryan murmured in his heart.


    In order to divert the reporter¡¯s attention and for the sake of her own peace, the Long Island girl sold him to George Lucas, and the beard also deliberately wanted to get the topic thoroughly heated before the movie was released, and went directly to the pie? Jinsli.


    Sighing, Ryan is still very enlightened as a shield. Of course, her own Nat has to protect herself. If she has trouble not looking for herself, but looking for someone else, that would be a tragedy...


    Well, Nat, just take it for your Harvard dream and the National Scholar Award.


    "Can you start, Ryan?"


    Probably seeing Ryan in a trance, John Bennet had to tentatively ask.


    "Ah, you can ask, but only ten minutes." Ryan looked at his watch and continued, "Only ask about movies."


    "Old rules, I understand." John Bennet smiled and took out the small tape recorder. After Ryan nodded, he pressed the record button. "Is "The Pianist" going well? When will the shooting be completed? Was it pleasant to work with Director Polanski?"


    "My scene will be over at the end of the month at the latest." Ryan pointed to the coffee on the table and gestured to him, "Director Polanski is a very strict director. Look at my current look. You know, he is also a great director!"


    Very formulaic answer, John Bennet did not expect the other party to tell any shocking news. He looked at Ryan. Although he was generally thin on the Oscar red carpet, his spirit seemed to be much better.


    "Playing as Anakin? Is Skywalker an invitation from Director Lucas?" he asked again.


    "I think about it, it was probably in 1996..." Ryan showed a thoughtful look, "I met George in USC, and he sent me an invitation..."


    "Should we be preparing for the threat of the ghost at that time?"


    "Yes, George originally invited me to play Obi Won Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker did I try to get it?"


    "Why?" John Bennet showed gossip, tentatively, "because... Natalie Portman?"


    "you can say so."


    Without waiting for the other person to show excitement, Ryan said again, "As early as when Natalie and I had just become good friends, we agreed that we would compete in the same movie in the future. Now we have a chance..."


    Seeing a shocking gossip scandal turned into a bubble, John Bennet was a little disappointed, "Ryan, you should have seen filming on set? Can you comment on Miss Natalie''s performance during filming?"


    "She will be one of the biggest highlights in the movie."


    The entire Star Wars Prequel series in the previous life was criticized by film critics as worthless, and only Natalie received unanimous praise.


    After accepting a brief interview with John Bennet, Ryan refocused his energies on the role of Spearman. Although more and more reporters were surrounding the crew, sometimes it would even affect the shooting, and he did not make it. Any response.


    It wasn''t until the "Los Angeles Times" published the content of this interview that the situation was much better, and the media and reporters could not always circle him around. After entering late April, the Warsaw studio returned to calm again.


    The crew left the set and moved to a detached house rented near the suburbs to film Spearman hiding alone in the ruins of the war.


    The actor who played the Nazi officer who helped Spearman also came to the crew at this time.


    This is a very young German actor with distinctive Germanic features in appearance.


    "Hello, Ryan."


    After entering the dressing room, the German actor introduced himself, "I am Michael Fassbender, just call me Michael."


    "Hello, Michael."


    The makeup artist was sticking a black beard to his face. Ryan could only say hello vaguely, and then shook it in the outstretched hand of the other party, joking slightly, "Take me out of the water. The rescued people are here."


    Then he asked curiously, "Are you a German?"


    "Yes." The other party nodded.


    Ryan looked at his appearance again and was sure that there was nothing wrong. He didn''t expect that he had dealt with the old Magneto in the previous life, and met the young Magneto here again.


    However, it is normal to think about it. These actors who have not yet become famous will cherish every audition opportunity that appears. It is not surprising that Michael Fassbender appeared here through auditions.


    "This is my first movie role."


    Due to conditions, the two used a dressing room When Ryan asked, Michael Fabienste said, "Since 1994, I have traveled a lot between the UK and Los Angeles. This time, I also got some small roles in TV series, but this is the first time I have appeared in a movie.


    "Come on with all your strength, Michael."


    After putting on makeup, Ryan stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "As long as you perform well, this movie is enough to open the door to Hollywood for you."


    Before leaving the dressing room, George who was guarding outside suddenly walked in and leaned to Ryan''s side and whispered, "Someone is coming to visit the squad."


    Visiting class? Who? Ryan was very curious, but he didn''t receive a call from anyone to visit the class.


    When he walked out, he saw the girl who was standing behind the camera in Qiaoshengsheng. She was wrapped in a gray Armani jacket, wearing some whitish blue jeans, and on her feet were sneakers that couldn¡¯t be more simple, even a ponytail. There is nothing surprising.


    "Nate, why are you here?" Ryan strode over.

 Chapter 372： Coincidences and encounters

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! With her hands on her back, Natalie stands quietly behind the camera, occasionally the light from the corner of her eye will be from Roman Polanski Floating over her body, frankly speaking, she thinks the other party is much better than Michael Bay and the like. Although the movies made are dark and cold, they are very thoughtful.


    Maybe this is why Ryan chose him?


    Thinking of this, Natalie shook her head. With the character of that guy, I''m afraid it was done to maximize the profit of the movie.


    However, Natalie doesn''t care, as long as he treats herself well and his friends around him, that''s enough. Who cares about these outsiders!


    Then, her eyes returned to the lover who was sitting in front of the piano. Her light brown hair had already turned black, and her length was about to fall to her shoulders. The messy black fake beard was not much different from the real one. The sunken cheeks matched The figure with his chest almost touching his back looked even more miserable than the tramp on the streets of New York.


    He has suffered a lot for this movie. To be honest, in Hollywood, he is definitely the most dedicated group of actors, even she sighs at this point.


    Thinking of the news deliberately made some time ago, Natalie suddenly regretted that he was tired enough to film this movie, and he still had to take care of these troubles for herself. He was really very, very good to herself, so good that she could hardly pick it out. There is something wrong.


    The only problem is that the two people meet a little less often, but this is the common enemy of all Hollywood couples, and it is also their own choice to be in Los Angeles and New York alone.


    The sound of Ding Dong''s piano interrupted Natalie¡¯s thoughts, and saw Ryan¡¯s ten thin fingers protruding from the bones, dancing on the black and white keys, and the familiar tunes and rhythms drifted in this building. In the house.


    Slowly biting her lower lip, Natalie felt her face become hot, because this was Chopin''s fourth waltz.


    This guy! I will definitely make you look good when I get back to the hotel! Natalie threw away her thoughts in an instant, her hands clenched into small fists behind her back.


    As Roman Polanski behind the camera yelled to start, Natalie withdrew her mind. Concentrated on this scene.


    Ryan''s performance is what she cares about most at this time.


    I saw the lover sitting in front of the piano. Under the eyes of the German officials, he lowered his head and was silent for a while, then slowly put his hands on the black and white keys, and one of Chopin¡¯s etudes rang. He seemed to want to use this Way, to find the long-lost feeling.


    Then the sound of the piano became Chopin''s first ballad in G minor, but the tune was extremely obscure, far from smooth, like someone who hadn''t touched the piano for a long time. The same pop up when I suddenly touched the keyboard.


    How could this be? Natalie frowned. Even if Ryan threw the music aside, she wouldn''t regress to such a situation?


    When she took another look at Ryan''s messy hair and the German police officer, she suddenly realized.


    Natalie has seen every script written by Ryan, and "The Pianist" is no exception.


    Isn''t it? According to Spearman''s situation at the time, how could it be possible to play smooth music at the beginning after escaping for so long?


    The piano music became more and more smooth, and Natalie pursed her lips. This seems to be Ryan''s best performance in recent years, right? It''s a pity that during the filming, he seemed to be playing this piece with his own heart...


    wrong! Natalie rejected the idea just now, Ryan...This is from Spearman''s perspective to perform this piano music, it seems to have escaped, sorrow, misery and confusion over the past few years, and the present moment to the German officials. fear. It''s all integrated into this Chopin Ballerina No. 1 in G minor.


    Natalie could only see ten skinny fingers flying on the black and white keys, piano music flowing, tumbling, and choking in the room, and the audience was silent, as if she was afraid of disturbing the people in front of the piano.


    The last note finally fell. The room was still quiet, and Natalie could hear Ryan''s breathing.


    "Great!"


    Roman Polanski abruptly stood up from behind the camera, very excited. "Great performance, great performance, Ryan, you can always perform unexpectedly!"


    As soon as Polanski''s words fell, everyone on the crew clapped their palms, and Natalie wrinkled her nose. He...really deserves the warm applause.


    "Thank you!"


    Ryan stood up from the piano, said hello to Polanski, and walked to Natalie''s side, "Oh, I didn''t expect this one to pass."


    "Are you asking me to praise you, Ryan?" After a concealed gesture, Natalie walked into the dressing room with him, stood aside, watching Ryan remove her makeup, "Well, I admit, you just did The performance was really outstanding."


    "Why are you here?" Ryan didn''t answer Natalie''s words, he was very curious about her suddenly coming here.


    "It''s nothing, those reporters are so annoying, so I hid." Natalie looked at a few makeup artists, all acquaintances used by Jenkins Pictures, and continued, "I can''t hide in school, they I went to Long Island and harassed my father and mother. My father was very angry, and then..."


    Ryan sighed. Although the contradiction between Natalie and her father was far beyond adjustment, they were always awkward and occasionally quarreled. He heard Scarlett talk about it, like Avner The husband wants Natalie to give up her role as an actor and wait until she finishes college normally before making a choice.


    Unfortunately, Natalie, like her father, is also a very stubborn person.


    "Wait a minute, Nat, I''ll be fine soon."


    Taking off the beard from his face, changing back to his own clothes, and straightening out the messy hair, Ryan took Natalie directly to the car.


    "Have you booked the hotel?" Ryan asked.


    "No, I got off the plane and called George and came directly here." Natalie looked back, and her two female assistants were already in other cars and followed.


    "Well, it''s okay to live in the same hotel as the crew."


    George, who was sitting in the co-pilot, quickly dialed a number and quickly got Natalie''s room.


    Only after Ryan walked onto the floor under the crew, he saw a very, very unexpected person, a little guy who shouldn''t be here at all.


    "Ryan!" Tyler ran out of a corner, almost rushing to his side.


    "Taylor? Why are you here?" Ryan gave her a strong hug, and couldn''t help turning his head to look at Natalie. "Nat, did you bring Alison over here?"


    No, Natalie is not eighteen years old. It is not ordinary difficult to take a child like Taylor out of the country.


    "No." Natalie already shook her head. "Hey, kid, didn''t you see me?"


    "Nate, how are you." Taylor hugged Natalie firmly again, "I miss you, Nat."


    "Who brought you here?" Ryan had a bad premonition.


    Probably the noise in the corridor was too loud, and the door of a luxurious suite suddenly opened, "Taylor, where did you go again? Ryan should hurry..."


    Ryan looked at Natalie and then at the tall figure coming out of the door. The corners of her mouth trembled. What''s the matter? Why do you like to play a sudden attack?


    The woman who walked out was tall and slender, restored her red and golden hair, and curled up again, her light blue eyes were narrow and long. Who else would it be Nicole Kidman?


    "Nicole? So you brought Tyler." Ryan rubbed Taylor''s curls. "When did you arrive? Why didn''t you notify me?"


    "I arrived more than two hours ago. I heard that you were filming the last few scenes, so I didn''t bother you and let someone from the company pick me up to the hotel." Nicole''s eyebrows trembled, and his eyes moved away from Ryan. On Natalie''s body, "Nate, are you coming to visit Ryan''s class, too?"


    "She also just arrived today." It was Ryan who spoke.


    "Hello, Nicole, it''s been a long time." The two women didn''t shorten the distance between each other, but greeted them lightly.


    It¡¯s probably been a long time since Nicole¡¯s eyes fell on Natalie¡¯s body. Once there is a real gap between women, it¡¯s always difficult to eliminate it. Because of Ryan¡¯s relationship, although the two of them are not Conflict, but the friendship that used to be, with the passage of time, has long since disappeared.


    Ryan didn''t want to be deadlocked here. Both were smart women, and even God couldn''t guess what they would think or do.


    "Nicole, I''ll take Nat to the room first." Ryan pointed to another corridor.


    "Yeah~" Nicole nodded, even if she didn''t like it in her heart, but the other party was Ryan''s best friend since childhood.


    "Taylor, are you coming?" Before leaving, Natalie turned her head.


    Blond Curly looked at her, looked at Nicole again, and scratched her head. She always felt something was wrong, but she couldn''t figure out why. Finally, she held Nicole''s hand and said, "I haven''t gotten off the plane yet. Take a shower, Nat."


    "All right." Brown eyes flashed, Natalie followed Ryan, and Taylor''s voice rang behind her, "Nat, shall we have dinner together?"


    "Okay." Natalie agreed without thinking about it And in front of her, Ryan''s face almost turned into a bitter gourd, he sighed, and could only Bite the scalp and walk forward.


    In the past, Ryan had never encountered such a problem. Whether it was Nicole or Natalie, they would clearly say before coming to visit the class. After all, the crew is mobile most of the time, and the shooting location often changes.


    This time, Natalie obviously had a quarrel with her father, and she flew to Poland in a depressed mood. Nicole took a private jet and could come anytime as long as she applied for a good route.


    This should be a coincidence.


    After walking out of Natalie''s room, Ryan''s head quickly analyzed what happened today.


    Yes, there is that little guy, she invited Natalie to dinner, she will definitely pull Nicole, and I am afraid that Nicole''s love for her will not refuse.


    Well, God bless! As a pseudo-believer, Ryan devoutly drew a cross on his chest.

 Chapter 373： Murdoch

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "Ryan, the mashed potatoes here are very good, the taste is unique..."


    Before Natalie''s words were over, the blonde curly hair who swallowed the food in her mouth spoke, "It seems to be beef sauce, Ryan, don''t you want something?"


    "Honey, do I need a copy for you?"


    Nicole, who was sitting next to the guy, came over and didn''t need Ryan to answer. She took the idea, beckoned to the waiter, and said, "Here is a mashed potato."


    The dinner lasted for a while, and things did not slip into the irreversible abyss as Ryan imagined. The gap between Nicole and Natalie was very obvious. Unless necessary, the two would barely talk to each other. If it weren''t for Taylor''s reasons, they would probably not sit at a table to eat.


    Although Natalie would whisper a few words to Ryan from time to time, Nicole didn''t take it to heart. After all, the two had been in friendship for ten years. If they deliberately kept a distance in front of them, that would be a problem.


    Natalie knew very well that when she grew up, especially in North Hollywood, Nicole Kidman had opinions about herself, but she was a proud person. The object of her relationship was Ryan, not him. ''S sister, and Ryan is already independent.


    As for Ryan, getting up is the same as usual. He often jokes with Tyler, but his heart is far less calm than on the surface. If Nicole and Natalie really find out, they won''t quarrel at all. I am afraid I can only make a few transparent holes in my body with the stainless steel knife in my hand.


    Perhaps the greedy person should really go to hell? Despite thinking so in his heart, Ryan didn''t want to give up any of them.


    A current Oscar queen, a future Oscar queen, and a new generation of Hollywood actors who are recognized as the best acting performers. These three super acting schools really have all their strengths at this moment, not only others can''t express what they think. As far as I can think, I am afraid that I have been blinded by my acting skills.


    "How long will it take for your scene to be completed?" Put down the knife in his hand. Nicole asked Ryan.


    "Soon." Ryan also put down the tableware.


    Although there is still some time before the film is closed, the scenes belonging to Spearman are almost finished, and the scenes he is watching do not require Ryan to be present. The post-editing is enough to handle all of this.


    "Is there something going on next?" He knew very well that since Nicole asked that, there was probably something to deal with by herself.


    "Rupert Murdoch sent an invitation, I hope we will go to New York to attend his wedding early next month." Nicole flipped through her handbag and handed Ryan a very formal wedding invitation. "Also, George called and invited to the premiere of "Phantom Menace" in New York."


    Now, her eyes drifted from Natalie''s face subconsciously, and the Long Island girl was still quietly tasting her own dinner.


    "Murdoch seems to have just settled the divorce case, right?"


    This divorce case is a protracted lawsuit. He was single again without thinking, and Murdoch was about to enter the palace of marriage again.


    "According to his invitation to the outside world the day after the formal divorce." Nicole frowned and said gossiping, "Just why did he choose that woman?"


    "Listen to Rupert wanting to enter the media industry on the other side." Ryan shook his head and said. "Over there, human relations often play a key role."


    "He has great ambitions." Nicole sighed with emotion.


    Ambitious? Ryan smiled, Murdoch in the previous life still wants to acquire Time Warner.


    "Do you think he will succeed? After all, Deng has changed his nationality." Because of Ryan''s interest, Nicole knows a little bit about there.


    "Absolutely impossible."


    If Murdoch chose Wendi Deng really to open the door to the media industry on the other side, it would be just a wishful thinking.


    "Hey hello, Ryan, Nicole. What are you guys? Can I understand it?" Taylor couldn''t understand what the two men were about, and couldn''t help but protest.


    "I haven''t lost the jet lag, it''s time to go to rest."


    Listening to these topics that were not related to her, Natalie yawned, stood up and nodded to the other side, "Goodbye. Nicole."


    "Goodbye, Nat." Nicole also just nodded.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    In early May 1999, the eyes of the media in the United States and even the entire Western world were all cast on a private dock in New York, a super giant in the media industry. Rupert Murdoch, the controller of News Corp, entered the marriage palace again only 17 days after the divorce agreement with his ex-wife took effect.


    The most surprising thing is that the Jewish tycoon chose a Chinese bride.


    Well, this is not too unexpected, after all, since more than a year ago, the other party has become Murdoch''s public lover.


    Is there really love between the two parties? Or is this the beginning of another grand strategy for Murdoch, as those on Wall Street imagined?


    Perhaps only time and God can prove it.


    With this thought, Ryan took Nicole and boarded Murdoch¡¯s private yacht Mourning Gloria. The wedding of Wendy Deng and Rupert Murdoch will be held on the yacht. .


    "Congratulations, Rupert. Congratulations, Deng."


    After stepping onto the spacious deck of the yacht, Ryan and Nicole sent congratulations, because they just came back from Warsaw, they were relatively late.


    "Help me entertain Nicole, I have something to discuss with Ryan."


    Even at his own wedding, the old man could not forget his ambition and empire. After Wendi Deng accompanied Nicole to the female guest area, he and Ryan left on the fore-deck with fewer people. You are the most popular movie star in Hollywood in the Far East."


    "It''s just a bit famous, and I can''t talk about the most popular." Ryan knew what the Far East meant by his mouth.


    "Remains on a Deserted Island" entered the film market on the other side after the New Year. Compared with the "Saving Private Ryan" introduced in the same period, it can only be described as rushing to the street.


    "Are you interested in cooperating?" Murdoch smiled and shook his head. If the other party is just a Hollywood superstar, where would he specifically invite him to come here.


    "Rupert..." Ryan asked tentatively, "Do you want to enter the media industry over there?"


    "Are you interested?" Murdoch turned the glass in his hand as if to remind, "That''s a market of more than one billion people."


    Ryan hugged his chest with one hand and pinched his chin with the other hand. The long black hair hanging down his shoulders swayed slightly with the sea breeze. It seems that we are really considering feasibility.


    In fact, he made a decision the first time Murdoch came out of cooperation.


    Rupert Murdoch¡¯s plan is obvious, he wants to make him a man of great influence in the Far East. Pushing the front desk to become the spokesperson of News Corp. He and Wendi Deng are part of a huge plan, and cooperation with himself is also part of it.


    If his plan can be successful, the investment that he participated in the cooperation will be eaten by News Corporation, but compared with the income that can be obtained, it is nothing at all.


    The question is, can News Corp and Rupert Murdoch succeed?


    There is no doubt that Rupert Murdoch¡¯s strategies in the United Kingdom and the United States have achieved great success, but the other side is a completely different country...


    If Ryan grew up completely from the West, he might really be tempted. After all, that market is too attractive, but he knew that News Corp¡¯s plan was just wishful thinking.


    "Sorry, Rupert." Ryan put down the hand that was holding his chin and said slowly. "You know, Surprise is starting a big series. Jenkins Pictures has invested in several major productions at the same time. My funds are very tight..."


    This is true. If only the income on the surface is revealed, most of the money Ryan made will soon be invested in the next plan. There is really not much liquidity.


    "That''s a shame."


    Although no intention was reached, in the past few years, the cooperation between the two parties has been quite pleasant. Murdoch took his arm and said, "Well, I wish you all the next movies to sell."


    Seeing the figure disappearing above the foredeck, Ryan shook his head. After a few years, News Corp. is a big quagmire. If you get involved with them too deeply, it will be difficult not to affect yourself.


    I will have a series of plans next, and now I have to guard the movie site.


    Again. China and the United States are conducting bilateral negotiations, which include provisions related to the entertainment and cultural industry. He united several large companies to put pressure on the federal government in order to fight for more benefits for Hollywood and himself in the negotiations.


    Although this is a banquet, there is no special ceremony. Instead, it is more like a yacht social party in the upper class. Murdoch also specially let people follow Ryan and introduce him to New York celebrities.


    After meeting Murdoch''s three children, Ryan had an interesting scene. The mother of Wendi Deng''s ex-boyfriend also attended the wedding. He had to sigh that Western-style thinking is really interesting.


    "Are there any gains?" Nicole came over with the red wine.


    "Rupert wanted me to invest in his project in the Far East, but I turned it down." Seeing Nicole''s eyes flickering, Ryan asked curiously, "What happened, Nicole?"


    "It''s nothing, the wind is a bit strong." Nicole found a reason casually.


    She couldn''t take the initiative to tell the guy opposite that she was stinged by the diamond ring in Deng Wendi''s hands, right?


    "Then we bid farewell to the master and go back to rest." Ryan suggested.


    "That''s fine, I haven''t come back from jet lag yet Nicole pulled Ryan up and walked towards Murdoch and his wife.


    In the car back to the hotel, Nicole held Ryan''s arm tightly and pressed her lips and barely said anything. When the car arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, she asked, "Are you going to accompany Nat on the red carpet? ?"


    "no."


    Nicole¡¯s eyes were full of doubts. If she were the producer, she would surely let the two of them walk on the red carpet hand in hand. This is definitely a good propaganda hype.


    "Na Express is taking the exam." Ryan could only explain, "She has to review her homework, so she won''t appear at the premiere."


    As in the previous life, the Long Island Girl refused to attend the premiere of Star Wars. As for the reason, Ryan can guess some of it. When the two people''s fame is too different, Natalie will not appear on the red carpet with him. Up.


    This will reduce a lot of trouble for Ryan for the time being.

 Chapter 374： Star Wars, Star Wars

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend a promotional introduction! The influence of the Star Wars series in North America has long surpassed the category of movies, forming a unique Star Wars culture. With this series, George Lucas became one of the four major directors in the 1980s.


    The release of the Star Wars Prequel is undoubtedly a grand festival for many Star Wars fans in North America.


    Ryan also saw from TV reports that the most avid Star Wars fans quit their jobs one month before the movie was released, and focused on reviewing the entire series from the beginning, so as to wait for the release of the new prequel.


    On the day of the premiere, in front of the Metropolitan Theater in New York, there were a lot of people. The stars walked on the red carpet hand in hand. The most eye-catching ones were the robots R2D2 and Master Yoda.


    Today¡¯s protagonist belongs to George Lucas and his movie. Ryan was very conscious and only stayed for a short time at the entrance of the theater. After slightly satisfying the reporter''s request to take pictures, he walked into the theater.


    "Where is Nicole?" When George Lucas walked into the theater, after seeing Ryan, he found that the other person he had invited had not come.


    "Jenkins Pictures has something urgent to deal with, she is back to Los Angeles." Nicole left in a hurry last night.


    "What about my heroine?" George Lucas'' beard almost curled up, venting his dissatisfaction to Ryan, "This is the person you recommend, Miss Natalie Portman, Some are too maverick."


    "Sorry, George, you know, for someone who wants to do something both academically and in film, time is always tight." His lover has to defend himself, Ryan is still very enlightened. of.


    George? Lucas was not good to say anything, and after a few more small words, he went to greet others.


    No matter how others criticize George? Lucas will only eat his own money, but this is after all the premiere of the Star Wars series. There are countless Hollywood celebrities who have come here, and even some people who have not shown up in the past two years have been invited by him.


    "Hello, Mr. Coppola." Ryan said hello to Francis Coppola who was held by his daughter.


    "Ryan." The old man shook Ryan''s outstretched hand. "Unexpectedly. You would promise to play Anakin Skywalker."


    "Not to please women." Sophia Coppola whispered, "Where is Nat, Ryan? Didn''t she come?"


    "She wants to review her homework." Ryan had to make this excuse again.


    "You young people, I''ll go and say hello to my old friends." Francis Coppola knew very well that the era that belonged to them was over. Let her make friends with emerging power figures in Hollywood. There is no harm.


    "Listen to George, you are not going to play in the second part?" Ryan asked after the two found a quieter place.


    "I intend to temporarily end my career as an actor." Sophia Coppola hid the iconic big teeth, "I can imagine now, tomorrow those people will start to laugh at my teeth and acting!"


    This can be said to be the biggest obstacle for actors from famous backgrounds. It is normal if they perform well in the film. If you do not perform well, just wait to be laughed at by the media for ¡®shameful nepotism¡¯.


    "Don''t worry too much about those people''s voices."


    Frankly speaking, the acting skills of Sophia Coppola described by the media are not exaggerated. She really has no talent in this regard. "Sophia, didn''t you choose to become a director? I believe you will let everyone who laughed at you, dear. Shut your mouth."


    "It seems you have confidence in me?" Sophia Coppola laughed. If it looks like this, her rabbit teeth are actually not ugly, "Then can you invest in my next film?"


    "Do you have an idea?" Ryan was curious.


    "It''s a bit, but it''s vague." She stared at Ryan seriously and asked, "If possible, can you help me improve it?"


    "Are you sure?" Ryan stopped the passing waiter, took two cups of soda, and handed it to Sophia. "Sophia, you know what I am best at. Are you sure that the next work is a completely commercial theme? "


    "Come on, Ryan." Sophia Coppola drank a sip of soda, "Scarlett told me a lot about you, and "Remaining on the Deserted Island" also proved that you can create excellent literary works."


    "When did Scarlett become a traitor?" Ryan muttered deliberately and asked. "How is she doing?"


    "Excellent, much better than I am." Sophia seemed to be a little embarrassed, hesitated and said, "It is the relationship... She and Kirsten Dunst are not very happy to get along with each other."


    "Scarlett is my friend..."


    Before Ryan finished speaking, Sophia nodded, "I know what to do."


    "That''s it for the time being." From the corner of Ryan''s eyes, he aimed at an old man who was about to leave. Sophia Coppola asked, "What happened just now?"


    "After you have a clear idea, you can send it to my mailbox, and I can help you with some comments. This is your work, Sophia.


    After leaving this sentence, Ryan took a few steps and caught up with the old man, "Hi, Mr. Scott."


    "Ryan..." The old man looked over strangely.


    "Can you talk about it?" Ryan made a please gesture.


    "of course can."


    Ridley Scott followed Ryan to the other party just now, Sophia watched him go and returned, guessing that the two might have important things to talk about. When he wanted to leave, Ryan waved his hand and did something. It''s okay gesture.


    As a woman, curiosity is an essential factor. Sophia Coppola simply pricked up her ears.


    "Ridley, can I invite you to direct a film?"


    This is Ryan''s voice. Sophia Capola knows that his directness and decisiveness in handling film affairs is well-known throughout Hollywood.


    "Oh? Can you ask which one it is? Isn''t it "Man Hundred Percent"?" Sophia rolled her eyes and asked whether this theme is suitable for you? Besides, the news that Nancy Miles is in charge of the film''s guide has long been circulated throughout the circle.


    "Gladiator!" The voice was still so simple.


    "The script of the Roman Empire that Hollywood preached some time ago?"


    "Yes, that''s it."


    "Don''t you..."


    "Yes, Ridley, this is the script I prepared for myself."


    Hearing this, Sophia Coppola knew that as long as Ridley Scott was not confused, he would definitely take the job. What is Ryan''s biggest goal now? From his transformation in "Remains of a Deserted Island", it is already obvious.


    Moreover, he is the guarantee of the box office, this kind of fame and fortune, if you change yourself, you will definitely respond directly.


    Sure enough, as she thought, Ridley Scott, who was in desperate need of turning over, nodded happily, "I need to see the script first. If I guess correctly, this is an epic theme?"


    After Ryan nodded, Ridley Scott''s voice came over again, "You know, Ryan, this type of film requires a very long preparation time, budget..."


    Sophia¡¯s eyes kept falling on Ryan. He raised his hand and interrupted Ridley Scott, ¡°The movie won¡¯t start until next year at the earliest, and I¡¯m preparing a 100 million dollar production for the movie. budget."


    Well, generous, much more courageous than my cousin who only knows how to eat, drink, play and spend money indiscriminately. Sophia Coppola sighed suddenly.


    "What are you thinking about? So ecstatic?"


    After Ridley Scott left, Ryan saw Sophia Coppola still staring at him, and immediately walked over, "Sophia?"


    "Nothing, just thinking about when I will be able to direct a multi-million-dollar production." Sophia Coppola lowered his eyelids, covering the glistening eyes.


    "There will be this day." Ryan casually comforted.


    In the previous life, the great success of "Lost in Tokyo" established Sophia Coppola''s position as a director. Everyone believed that she would become the first female director to win the Oscar for Best Director, but this honor finally fell. On the head of the truck driver¡¯s ex-wife.


    "Hopefully the investor will be you, Ryan."


    Sophia Coppo joked, looked at the time, and made a please gesture, "The movie is about to begin, let''s go in."


    Apart from the dazzling stunts and the reputation accumulated by Star Wars, from the point of view of the filming and editing of this movie, and the least logic of the plot, George Lucas¡¯s indeed can only be the bottom of the four major directors. , The whole story is full of too many coincidences.


    Although all movies are almost a collection of coincidences, if they are used unlimitedly, they will lack sufficient persuasiveness.


    Well, logic, story, plot, reasonableness, and even the unreliable fights of the Jedi Knights can be thrown asideAs long as the movie is Star Wars, as long as the special effects of Industrial Light and Magic are dazzling enough, for this For a fully commercialized work, it is enough.


    George Lucas¡¯ Industrial Light and Magic possesses the most advanced film special effects technology in Hollywood, which is undoubtedly evident in "The Phantom Threat."


    The main plot of the movie is the appearance of Anakin Skywalker and the acquaintance with Queen Amidala played by Natalie, and at the same time lay the groundwork for their subsequent love.


    Anyway, in Ryan''s view, the plot in many places can be improved. Lucas had asked for his opinion at the beginning, but Ryan remained silent, as he said at the time, this belongs to George Lu. If you don''t want to create unnecessary contradictions in Cass''s work, it is better to keep your mouth shut.


    Kui Gang Jin died in battle, Obi Wang avenged him, the real and false queen messed up the sight of the trade alliance, the planet of Naboo was restored to peace, Obi Wang took away the young Anakin Skywalker, Insistently accepting him as a student, the first movie came to an end.


    Ryan believes that the wave of criticism will surely drown out the small praise tomorrow.

 Chapter 375： Shameful loser

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! What are the consequences of excessive expectations? If you ask people on the other side of the Pacific to answer, you must be more disappointed.


    After waiting for several years, many Star Wars fans finally waited for the new episode of this series.However, although they were not completely disappointed afterwards, they were far from what they expected.


    The audience is still buying it. After all, the dazzling special effects and the costumes of the actors are still very eye-catching. As for the storyline or something, don''t think about it, not to mention the film also dedicated them an exceptionally good Amidala. queen.


    At this time, the vast majority of viewers in the United States realized that Matilda, who was crying back then, has transformed into a beautiful queen.


    Even the mainstream media praised''Sister Natalie Portman for her excellent interpretation of the role of Queen Amidala, but it was this role that prevented her from fully showing her acting skills and characteristics. After a few years of silence , The girl who shocked the United States in the first place is finally back''.


    The media will praise individual actors and the special effects, but they are not polite to the whole movie and George Lucas.


    \"The powerful Industrial Light and Magic made George Lucas too obsessed with post-production special effects technology, ignoring that a good story is the basis of the movie.\"


    Even more unceremoniously, he directly criticized George Lucas for his understanding of movies in the 1980s, and his shooting methods and storytelling were extremely old-fashioned.


    Those newspapers who feared that the world would not be chaotic, even directly asked George Lucas to dismiss all the screenwriters. Please write the following story by Ryan, who will be participating in the second part...


    Of course, this kind of thing will never happen. First, George Lucas would not do it, and second, Ryan would not take it.


    Sophia Coppola, like she laughed at herself, did not escape the verbal criticism of film critics. They laughed at her for her big teeth and hooked nose. They criticized her for not beautiful enough face, \"A ridiculous performance, nothing The future can be said\" and so on, the harsh comments are overwhelming.


    There is no doubt that Sophia Coppola will become a big hit for the Golden Raspberry Awards next year.


    As a counterattack, Sophia Coppola simply announced that she would withdraw from the big screen indefinitely.


    The media and film critics suddenly cheered in unison, as if she was missing on the big screen, there will be no more bad movies from now on.


    \"So, conscience is always a luxury to the media.\"


    Ryan is sitting in Scott''s office on Wall Street, next to the Scott interface on the sofa, \"So. We want to become shareholders of the Los Angeles Times?\"


    Ryan made such an expression and asked, "How''s the IT stock deal done?"


    \"Has reached an acquisition agreement with Jerry Yang, and he is currently financing.\"


    The founder of Yahoo can¡¯t wait to hold most of his shares in his hands, not to mention that Yahoo¡¯s stock price is skyrocketing almost every day, \"I reserve 10%. This is enough to ensure a voice on the board of directors. \"


    \"It doesn''t need so much.\" Ryan waved his hand, Yahoo''s shares can be acquired after bottoming out, \"Just keep 5%, and the rest are gradually thrown into the market.\"


    \"We are putting pressure on John Chambers. If nothing else, Cisco¡¯s board of directors will buy the Cisco shares in our hands.\"


    Even a layman, Ryan has heard of Cisco and its helm, John Chambers. The former can almost only be described as a crazy stock price, which brings infinite confidence to the latter and ambitiously wants to surpass GM. , To become the world''s largest listed company by market value.


    Cisco''s board of directors will definitely repurchase these shares, with the shares held by Ryan, if they are thrown on the market, it will be absolutely disastrous for Cisco.


    For the rest, Scott is gradually selling off in a planned way, and Ryan doesn''t need to worry too much.


    \"Next.\"


    Even in the face of heavy taxes in the United States, the funds after the transaction will completely overwhelm Ryan¡¯s apparent net worth. It is definitely not a wise choice to hold so much cash in his hand.\"Scott, find a way to acquire Disney Shares, let people come into contact with those Disney shareholders.\"


    \"And...\" Ryan beckoned to George. Mr. Bodyguard immediately took out a document and handed it to Scott. After he opened it, Ryan continued, \"This company is financing To build their own website, they currently have a huge funding gap, let people contact them, invest as much as possible, and ensure that Larry Gage and Sergey Brin are in the company.\"


    This company also heard when Ryan had a chat with Jerry Yang, Larry Gage and Sergey Brin received a lot of help from Yahoo when they founded Google, and they seem to be developing The famous website in the previous life.


    Ryan didn''t know what Google was founded. The original plan was to wait until next year. He didn''t expect to hear from them now. At this time, Google has not yet been listed. In comparison, it will be affected next year. After asking Garcia to inquire about the relevant situation, he decided to take action.


    \"George.\" Ryan turned his head and told, \"Remember to notify Garcia and follow the video website.\"


    Mr. Bodyguard nodded coolly.


    \"Go to the airport.\"


    Out of Scott''s office in New York, Ryan got in the car and dialed the phone, \"Hi, Nat.\"


    \"Ryan.\" Natalie''s voice seemed tired, \"Where are you?\"


    \"On the way to the airport, dear Nat, are you sure you won''t come to see me off? This is so sad.\"


    \"Sorry, Ryan.\" Natalie seems to know that she has ignored her lover during this time.\"When summer vacation begins, I.


    Go to New Zealand to stay with you for three months.\"


    \"Well, my Queen Amidala.\" Ryan quickly changed the subject,\"I wish you a good grade in the exam.\"


    The experience of Warsaw is in front of him, Ryan dare not let Natalie really stay in New Zealand for three months, otherwise, after Nicole comes, it will be another trouble.


    Yes, Ryan is going to New Zealand. In April, the crew of "The Lord of the Rings" started up in Queenstown. Peter Jackson called urging calls several times. If he procrastinated, the New Zealand fat guy might commit suicide. Come to North America.


    No way, Ryan is a producer and investor, and Peter Jackson can''t change actors.


    However, before going to New Zealand, Ryan has to go back to USC, and he has to submit an application for graduation to the college in advance.


    Professor Great greeted him early, and the school did not embarrass him too much because of the huge amount of money that Ryan has donated and will definitely donate in the future.


    After submitting the application, Ryan had just walked into the outdoor cafe of the Film Academy, and Darren and others came over.


    \"Hurry up, there is a good show, a madman came to our school to give a speech.\" It was Reese.


    \"Who?\"


    Ryan has no interest in celebrity speeches.If you really want to talk about fame, the person in charge of the White House will also bow his head in front of him.


    \"Larry Ellison, President of Oracle.\"


    Hearing Darren¡¯s name, Ryan remembered who he was and became interested, "Well, let''s go there together."


    The location of the speech was the largest auditorium in Southern California. Chen Jiazheng came here early and occupied a few front seats. Ryan appeared here. Although it attracted a lot of attention, the protagonist today is obviously not him. People stared at the door, waiting for the appearance of the famous rich man.


    \"Larry Ellison has always made amazing remarks in speeches. Guess what he will be today?\"


    Ryan and a few people got together and used small chats to pass the waiting time, "It''s nothing more than showing off how many properties he bought, built a few yachts, and sponsored the sailing team to win the America''s Cup."


    \"Cut, what is there to show off? He is at Ryan''s age, and Ryan is successful? Or is there more money than Ryan.\"


    Behind them is also a classmate from the film school. This person seems to be very well informed. "Do you know why Larry? Can Ellison come here to speak? Listen to his son David? Ellison applied for the film this year. College, this is a condition set by the University Committee of Southern University.\"


    This person is obviously a very gossip, \"If his daughter is not too old, it is estimated that the madman will send her daughter.\"


    \"Follow him, anyway, we are not the same way with them.\" Darren Bosman squeezed his chin, \"I''m even more curious about what amazing things he can do? Will it make the school committee regret calling him. \"


    \"Isn''t it always pointing at us people swearing?\" Ryan shook his head.


    However, after Larry Ellison stepped onto the podium, Darren and others couldn''t help but turn to Ryan, because his nonsense turned out to be true.


    Although he is old, Larry Ellison does not diminish his madness, standing on the podium, like a king over the world, but his actions and words make the faculty and students of Southern University They all changed their faces.


    \"Students of the University of Southern California, please don¡¯t doubt your classmates, all are losers! You are all shameful losers! I have not finished higher education, just a dropout! Maybe you can proudly follow Graduating from this school, it can¡¯t change the fate of the loser!\"


    The students in the auditorium gradually became agitated. How many students of this age can tolerate others spitting at their noses? Well, maybe we are losers in front of you, but there is someone in the field who is not!


    Many people turned their eyes to where Ryan was sitting.


    Larry Ellison also paid attention to this. He didn''t constrain at all. He raised his hand and pointed to the venue. I don''t know if it was intentional or unintentional, the final direction of his finger fell on Ryan''s side.


    \"Have any of you succeeded? Maybe, but don¡¯t forget, this summer, USC Film Academy will welcome an amazing student. He is also a film genius! He will surpass the people who are speculated by the media and end He and his movies make him a shameful loser just like you!\"

 Chapter 376： Shoes

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion! Compared to his cheating history, Larry Ellison¡¯s struggle is indeed more worthy of respect. Ryan has seen many inspirational stories about him in his previous life and believes that the other party is just arrogant in nature, rather than deliberately targeting himself. One second to remember "" the hottest novel update is the fastest


    But no matter what Larry Ellison''s personality is, this is not the reason for him to spit wildly at his nose in front of so many people.


    Hundreds of people flooded into the auditorium today. Ryan can guess what happens here without having to think about it. If he is not sure, he will be sold to paparazzi, and it is likely to appear in the tabloid tomorrow.


    No matter what the reason is, and no matter who is standing above, since you dare to say these things, you must be prepared to accept a counterattack.


    Of course, for the sake of a few quarrels, Ryan would not go to fight Larry Ellison with great fanfare.


    However, the other party''s arrogant character, biting everywhere like a vicious dog, is really unpleasant, so Ryan decided to leave a deep impression on him, and I believe that the students of Southern California University around him will not disappoint him.


    "Darren, lend me a shoe to use."


    Ryan''s words are not high, but they are enough to be heard by the people around them. Darren Bousman asked strangely, "Shoes?"


    "Yes, give me one of your shoes."


    After all, they are young people with active thinking. Darren Bosman and Reese obviously guessed something, and a sneaker was quickly handed over to Ryan.


    "Shameful loser..."


    When Larry Ellison said this arrogantly, someone from the USC school committee strode towards the podium, speaking to hundreds of energetic students, what would happen if he said this Kind of consequence?


    University students in North America are the group of people who like to cause trouble, and countless experiences in history have proven this point.


    Without any hesitation, Ryan threw out Darren''s sneakers, blue and white shoes. With the sound of the wind flying over the heads of the first few rows of students, a wonderful parabola was drawn, and it fell to Larry Ellison with great accuracy.


    This rich man on the stage has been to more than one university to give speeches. This arrogant language is not the first time that he has appeared in public. It seems that he anticipated the arrival of debris, and he did not wait for the shoe to fly near. The position of the podium.


    But he obviously did not expect that the debris from the audience turned out to be a shoe. Although he took more physical blows, he could not escape the chemical attack. A foot smell quickly penetrated his nose.


    Larry Ellison covered his nose subconsciously. Turning his head to look at the students in the auditorium, the arrogance on his face increased unabated.


    "failure¡­¡­"


    "Shoot him out of USC."


    Before Larry Ellison''s words were spoken, Ryan yelled loudly, and with him, the number one celebrity of Southern California University taking the lead, other students would naturally not bear it any longer.


    The shoes of all kinds of colors, separated from the original owner, fell like rain to the guy who ridiculed them.


    Seeing the first shoe thrown by Ryan, the school committee member immediately stopped walking to the podium. Without hesitation, he turned around and rushed back to his camp. He knew very well that today Larry Ellison must be driven out of USC.


    At the same time, a few may be assistants. Perhaps the bodyguard rushed to the podium, surrounded Larry Ellison in the middle, and protected him from rushing to the entrance of the auditorium. Also let this madman avoid most of the fallen shoes.


    However, his arrogant words, and Ryan''s leading role. It completely aroused the passion of the students of Southern University. Many people took off the other shoe and continued to throw it out.


    Many people still had their shoes off, even took off their socks and threw them toward the entrance of the auditorium, causing a lot of accidental injuries.


    This is probably the most embarrassing time since Larry Ellison''s fortune.


    After the noisy auditorium was completely quiet, leather shoes, sneakers, and stinky socks were everywhere, and many people even chased them out. In addition, there were constant chuckles on campus to join them, and they continued to chase Larry Ellison. Near the car.


    Ryan was naturally not among them, he and Darren and the others slipped back early.


    Although he took the lead and threw shoes at Larry Ellison, Ryan didn¡¯t take it seriously. From the moment the madman¡¯s fingers and words implicated him, this matter was destined to appear in the media, but he couldn¡¯t. Because the other party makes a few provocative words, just pounce on it or spend a large amount of money, and then fight to death, right?


    That is not in his interest.


    But if you don''t fight back, it won''t be Larry Ellison who is utterly shameful, but he will probably be himself, and a few stinky shoes are enough to show his attitude and tough stand.


    "Unfortunately, Ryan, if the application is passed, you will graduate in the summer."


    After a few people returned to the dormitory and sat in the living room to discuss the matter just now, Darren Bousman suddenly shook his head, "Otherwise, after the new semester begins, there will be good shows to watch."


    "Good show?" Ryan didn''t quite understand.


    "David Ellison will enter the film school after the summer vacation, with his father''s picture today..."


    After making a gesture that you understand, Reese continued, "He will definitely become the most unpopular person among the new class of students. There will definitely be a lot of people who will play tricks on him. There are too many opportunities."


    The classroom of the Film Academy is basically a simulated set, and any accident may happen on the set.


    Ryan couldn¡¯t help taking a moment of silence for one of a second for the future schoolboy. It is estimated that what happened today will become one of the most famous events in the history of USC. After all, using the special method of shoe rain, It is extremely rare to throw a rich man who ranks among the top five in the United States every year from school.


    Lao Tzu became a public enemy of Southern California, and his son would not be well. If that David Ellison is smart, he should choose the California Academy of Art.


    As Ryan thought, after today, Southern California''s shoes are completely famous, and universities across the United States seem to have been affected. If students want to protest something, they will think of throwing their shoes at the first time.


    Even this ethos has gradually spread to every corner of society.


    As expected by Ryan, many media published the shoe-throwing incident the next day. Not only did they have a detailed description of the process, but there were also photos of Larry Ellison escaping embarrassedly on campus, which could be regarded as a trigger for Xiaoxiao. Sensation.


    Of course, most people just treat it as gossip and funny talk.


    Ryan, who was the first to throw his shoes, was not criticized, because all the people who disclosed the news to the media also pointed out that Larry Ellison had targeted him since the beginning of his speech and described him as a shameful failure. By. ¡¯


    The vast majority of the media have launched a violent attack on Larry Ellison.


    Firstly, Larry Ellison''s popularity and reputation are really bad, and secondly, Ryan is his own for the media industry.


    "''Shameful loser.'' Since Ryan appeared in our field of vision, no one has ever described him like that. We really don''t know whether Larry Ellison is arrogant or arrogant. His The net worth is indeed richer than Ryan, in this respect, he is indeed more successful than Ryan."


    "But he actually said that his son David Ellison can surpass Ryan in movies, please! Who is David Ellison? Which movie has he starred in or produced now? Or did he write at the box office? A billion-dollar movie script?"


    "Larry Ellison obviously eats a lot of burgers, so he speaks mentally handicapped words in front of Ryan himself. I really don¡¯t know that Mr. David Ellison entered the USC Film Academy. Later, will you encounter some inexplicable things. You know, Ryan is the pride of the entire University of Southern California."


    This kind of thing is just commonplace for Larry Ellison. He has done countless things that are crazier than this since his fortune. He just didn¡¯t know that after he started the group ridicule of Southern California, he sneered at David. Will the future of Ellison and Megan Ellison have an impact?


    In the previous life, the public enemies of the big Hollywood studios seemed to have attended the USC Film Academy, right?


    Thinking of this, Ryan had left Los Angeles and flew to New Zealand Island in a business jet to report on the crew of "The Lord of the Rings" controlled by Peter Jackson.


    After a long period of preparation, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was officially launched in New Zealand last month. Peter Jackson, a native New Zealander, was present, whether the crew was with residents near the shooting location or the locals. The various organizations in the country have established a more pleasant relationship.


    Before the start of the film, an elder of a Maori tribe also specially held an ancient religious ceremony for the crew, wishing the filming work can be completed smoothly.


    The crew has also received strong support from the New Zealand government They know very well that such a big investment and big production of a trilogy film, once it is successful, what kind of benefits will it bring to being a location, even with Peter? Jackson reached an agreement that, when necessary, the army would be dispatched to assist the crew in filming large-scale war scenes.


    In addition, what surprised Ryan the most was that several assistants of the New Zealand fat man were moving around in several modeling agencies in New Zealand and Australia, choosing handsome and beautiful male and female models to serve as those unimportant in the film. Candidates for the role of elf.


    As for the main actors, after a large-scale audition, the list of actors finally sent to Ryan has basically not changed much from the previous life.


    For example, Sir Ian McLean played Gandalf, and Christopher Lee, who wanted to play Gandalf, had no choice but to play Saruman, who didn¡¯t need a big fight because of his age, and the baby-faced Ilya Wood. Is Frodo? Baggins''s best choice...


    The two characters that have changed the most are Aragon and Arwen.


    Ryan frowned when he looked at the words Charlize Theron on the cast list.

 Chapter 377： Crew station

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! In the previous life, in order to maximize the benefits, Peter Jackson and the producer once released three "The Lord of the Rings" Ryan has watched the production of the song several times because of his love for this series. Now I still remember some of the revelations of the New Zealand fat man.


    Peter Jackson¡¯s favorite candidate for Arwen was not the black-haired long-faced model and actress, but Uma Thurman. It is said that the latter¡¯s audition effect was excellent. Not long before the filming started, Uma Thurman did. I was pregnant, and finally the fat director had to use the spare tire later.


    And now, the crew has chosen Charlize Theron. The woman here looks cold and glamorous, but in fact she is sensitive and delicate. Her biggest problem is her temperament, but this is not particularly difficult for mature actors, of course. It''s not easy.


    As for the appearance, it is the easiest to solve. For the current makeup technology, it is very simple to turn blonde and blue eyes into black and gray eyes.


    Surrounded by the Southern Alps, Queenstown is a beautiful small city near the sea. There are large snow-covered mountains and green hillside meadows nearby. Lake Wakatipu, which is very close to the city, is deep and blue. The mountain lake, set off the scene of the small town, is like a fairyland.


    The crew of the crew enters the urban area of ??Queenstown. Ryan looks through the car window. There are towering poplar trees along the way. The mountains on both sides of the trees can be clearly seen made of schist. After leaving the city, occasionally Some sceneries that come into view have a plausible familiar feeling.


    Even sometimes, Ryan suspected that he had come to Middle-earth.


    Now this beautiful town and its surrounding scenery are not well-known. If "The Lord of the Rings" can succeed, Queenstown will also enjoy huge benefits.


    After turning the two hills, the car came to the area where the valley and the grassland combined. After Ryan jumped out of the car, what appeared in front of him was a miniature version of Hobbiton that looked like a fantasy version.


    And not far from Hobbiton, several huge temporary studios are undergoing final finishing work, which will become the base camp of the "Lord of the Rings" crew. Even Peter Jackson¡¯s Weta Studio has set up temporary offices here.


    "Kind God, open your eyes and see, our boss has finally appeared."


    When Ryan came to the busy Peter Jackson with an assistant, the New Zealand fat man would inevitably complain, even if he knew that his complaints would not have any effect on the film investors, "It¡¯s been more than a month since shooting. King Eliza is finally willing to take responsibility and save Middle-earth."


    "Well, Peter."


    Seeing the staff around him a little embarrassed, Ryan simply joked. "From tomorrow, you are the master of Minastiris, and the position of King Gondor belongs to you."


    Peter Jackson just complained, and then returned to his sorrow, "Ryan, do you need me to show you around? In the next year and a half, this place will become our base."


    "Don''t you need to be a cameraman?" Ryan knew that Peter Jackson had spent 18 months shooting for the trilogy.


    "I think you came from Los Angeles and overlooked one thing. Today is the weekend. The crew is off."


    After Peter Jackson gave a few words to the people around him, he took the lead and walked towards the''Habbiton''. When he got closer, he pointed to the green location. Said to Ryan, "Since the location was determined last year, I commissioned a landscape expert to preset the Hobbiton scene here, planting various trees, flowers, and vegetables..."


    Although the movie is sure to use cg special effects far exceeding "Titanic". But the crew still strives to truly restore every scene, even if it is a reduced version.


    "Oh, that bridge is quaint. Can you go up and try it?" Ryan asked, pointing to Shire''s stone bridge.


    "It''s made of polystyrene. If you don''t mind falling into the water, you can try it."


    A crisp woman''s voice came from the other side of the two. Ryan frowned first, then turned around and greeted with a smile, "Hi, Charlie, when did you come here?"


    "Do you mean New Zealand or here?"


    Charlize Theron only brought Ryan''s embarrassment a little, and resolved it with the following words, "Director Jackson, can you give me the position of the tour guide? When I came just now, Mr. Alan Lee was looking for you. ."


    Alan Lee is the concept designer of the crew.


    "Well, it looks like I should be busy again." Peter Jackson specifically asked before leaving, "Ryan, as a director, I hope you can adapt to this as soon as possible. We have been waiting for you for too long, Monday. We¡¯ll shoot Rivendell¡¯s scenes when we¡¯re in."


    "No problem, I promise."


    Peter Jackson left, and there was a silence between Ryan and Charlize Theron. In fact, since that call, the two have barely contacted each other.


    "This is Shire''s location."


    The South African Diamond finally broke the silence and walked slowly along the periphery of the''Habbiton'' towards the studio. "The filming here has not yet started. There is a grand banquet in the script. Now the number of actors is obvious. Not enough, Peter plans to let us and relatives of stunt actors come to visit the class, and when there are enough people, we will start shooting..."


    Speaking of relatives, Charlize Theron''s mood, which was originally not very high, instantly became even more depressed.


    After becoming famous, Charlize Theron¡¯s past has long been dug out by those unscrupulous tabloids. There was a lot of trouble in the past. Ryan¡¯s previous life only knew that she had experienced unusual anxiety and full of blackness before she became an adult, but she did not. It occurred to her that her mother had paid such a high price to protect her.


    Seeing what she looked like at this time, Ryan guessed that maybe she remembered those unpleasant past events again, and quickly changed the subject, "Charlie, I seemed to have heard you say last time. Peter sent you an audition invitation. Not very interested, why did you take over this role again?"


    "This role is very good." Charlize Theron''s dyed black eyebrows trembled slightly, as if the master was in the same mood now, "Actually, before I received the invitation, I had not read about the "Lord of the Rings". "Any literary works of "I don¡¯t know anything about Arwen Evening Star."


    "Later, I read the original work and Peter''s script, only to realize that this is a smart and brave elf princess, willing to give up eternal life for love..."


    Hearing that Charlize Theron seemed to be analyzing the role of Arwen, and it seemed to be insignificant, Ryan turned his head calmly and looked at the side of the studio, through the gap open at the door. It can be seen in the middle, which is covered with blue curtains.


    This series will use a lot of cg composite shots. Except for some locations, the actors will perform on the blue screen most of the time.


    "Last call, I''m sorry, Ryan."


    Walking to a secluded meadow, Charlize Theron suddenly stopped and faced Ryan, "I was in a bad mood last time, I drank too much..."


    "Phone? Last time?" Ryan pretended to be confused and shook his head. "I forgot about it."


    Charlize Theron didn''t let him go, staring at him and continuing, "I know that something was too much last time. You are willing to help me because we are friends, not to get anything in return."


    Every friend around the other party developed unusually smoothly. In the first few years after becoming famous, Charlize Theron had also seen the filth and darkness of Hollywood. She knew that Ryan didn¡¯t even need to take care of it, just a little care. At once, let your friends get fair and just treatment, and get equal opportunities during auditions, which will reduce their path by a lot of obstacles.


    She herself is the best example. After becoming a friend of Ryan, Charlize Theron can clearly feel that the deliberate difficulties encountered are almost gone. The career quickly climbed to the top, and even got the first in life. Nominated for the Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Actress.


    "Okay, Charlie." Ryan waved his hand indifferently, "It''s okay for friends to help each other."


    Seeing that the South African Diamond wanted to speak again, he went on to say, "Maybe I still need your help someday."


    Want me to help?


    Charlize Theron''s mouth pulled out a smile, which looked unusually beautiful, but who could appreciate the bitterness but her?


    Twenty-four years old, a beautiful and precious age group, she was able to turn down the invitations of several movies and went to New Zealand to play a pure vase role that could no longer be pure, for what?


    "It''s getting late." Ryan yawned greatly, as if he was really tired. "I should go back because of jet lag."


    "Is your trailer ready?"


    Charlize Theron followed Ryan''s side and said thoughtfully, "The mosquitoes here in New Zealand are particularly powerful. Regardless of the low temperature, they are still rampant. The mosquito killer must be on all the time."


    "Well, I will pay attention." Ryan nodded.


    The climatic conditions here in Queenstown are very good. Summer is not too hot. In winter, although there are occasional snowflakes, it is not too cold. It can be said that when Peter Jackson chose the location all aspects were considered. Happening.


    "Then... let''s stop here today."


    Walking back to the crew¡¯s residential area, Charlize Theron showed a trademark smile, "I won''t interrupt you to rest, Ryan, see you during filming."


    Seeing the thin and tall man disappear from the field of vision, Charlize Theron''s brows raised higher and higher, and she had passively waited for too long.


    Arwen and Aragorn, the fairy princess and the Eliza King, had a lot of affectionate scenes during filming. There are countless people in this circle who came together for shooting emotional scenes.


    In the luxury trailer on the other side, Ryan was lying on the bed but couldn''t sleep. The faces of Nicole and Natalie were turning around in his mind, and he couldn''t be peaceful when disturbed.


    In the end, he simply took out his notebook and typed on the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean". After seeing the Miss Keira Knightley from London, this series was put on the schedule by him, but there is no need to worry about filming, after all, Elizabeth? Miss Swann still has some time to grow up.

 Chapter 378： Ryan and Aragon

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "This is a gift, this is the best weapon against Mordor!"


    As soon as Gandalf¡¯s words came to an end, Sean Bing, who played Paramir, stood up and walked to the stone table where the Lord of the Rings was placed, ¡°Why don¡¯t you use this ring? My father, the regent of Gondor. King, the army against Mordor is outside the bay. It is the **** struggle of the people of Gondor that you can save it. Give the weapon against the enemy to Gondor, and let us use it to fight the enemy."


    "You can''t control it, none of us can."


    Long black hair fell down his shoulders, and under his thick beard was Ryan''s determined face. Now Aragorn played by him is on the stage, "The Supreme Lord of the Ring only listens to the call of Sauron, he has no other master!"


    "Then how much do you a mere ranger know?" Porromir obviously didn''t take Aragon into his heart.


    Aragorn was silent and did not refute. Legolas, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly stood up, "He is not an ordinary ranger, he is Aragorn, the son of Aragorn, you must be loyal to him."


    There are ten big cameras surrounding the meeting venue. This group show has been done dozens of times before, and now the actors, including Ryan, have finally found their status.


    As Legolas left Aragon, the others came over with a little surprise.


    "Aragorn?" Porromir is no exception. "Are you a descendant of Esiduo?"


    Hearing the name of his ancestor mentioned by the other party, the silent Aragorn raised his head.


    "Also heir to the throne of Gondor." This sentence still came from the mouth of the most beautiful person at the meeting.


    "Sit down, Legolas." Aragorn suddenly changed Quenya, as if he didn''t want the heir from the dark forest to mention another identity of himself.


    "Gondor has no king, and Gondor doesn''t need a king."


    This is a response from Porromir. After he was finished, he sat back, but kept his eyes on Aragorn.


    "Cut!" Peter Jackson stood up from behind the main camera, took a breath, and shouted, "It''s over. Rest for half a time."


    Ryan stood up and walked towards the rest area of ??the studio. Like other actors, he was a heart-winged appearance, for fear of touching the surrounding scenery and making fine props models.


    Rivendell, this beautiful city of elves in the movie. It was produced using a large number of sets and model props, plus post-shooting modifications.


    It has been several days since Ryan joined the shooting. After a period of adaptation, he gradually found the feeling of Aragon. It¡¯s just that in this group scene filmed today, there are many actors involved. No, there are their doubles to join, so the number of ng naturally rises.


    Behind every major actor, there may be one or several stand-ins. For example, Orlando Bloom, who plays Legolas, all action scenes without close-ups are performed by stuntmen, and some action scenes with frontal shots are the same. Will use stuntmen. In post-production, his image was replaced.


    There are also Hobbits, Elijah Wood and others are not shorts. Although their height problem can be solved to a certain extent through the reduction technique, Peter Jackson still took a lot of effort to find seven. An actor who is only three feet tall, almost all the scenes of the Hobbit standing with other races will be done by them wearing masks.


    Also facing the height problem is Jin Li, whose actor John Davis is 6 feet 1 inch tall. His stand-in is a female stuntman. According to this month, when Kim Li and Legolas were riding a horse, they also had a lot of sparks with Orlando Bloom.


    Although the shooting speed of the entire crew is in the hands of Peter Jackson, it is deeply influenced by the makeup artist. Actors like Ryan and Sean Bing who have grown their own hair often only need to stick their beards and work **** their costumes and faces, and it will usually be resolved within two hours.


    Orlando Bloom and Ian McLean also need to wear wigs. The handsome British student even shaved a bald head in order to wear wigs more conveniently.


    In addition to the height problem of John Davis, makeup is a very troublesome one in the ring team. He needs to put silicone on his face to change the contour. When the makeup time alone is more than three, how can such a shooting speed be fast? Can''t get up.


    The most troublesome is the stuntmen who play the half-orcs. When they come on stage, they will start to put on makeup every morning, and this process usually lasts about ten hours, and then shoot four or five hours, which is very, very hard and very very trouble.


    Between filming, the actors get together to chat and joke, which has become the best way of leisure in the busy.


    "There is no doubt that Ian is the best performer among you. He was born for Gandalf." Peter Jackson rarely joined the small chat after dealing with the matter at hand.


    "Then can I ask you any secrets?" Ryan asked cooperatively.


    "The mystery of good acting is..." Ian McLean pretended to smile mysteriously, and then said, "The secret of good acting is that no matter how early you get up, how long you wait, how many times you change the start time, as long as As soon as the camera starts shooting, you have to enter the scene immediately and blend into the character. There is no time to waste, otherwise, you will face Peter''s roar!"


    "This is really a standard answer."


    Not only Ryan, but the others with ears erected, waved their arms in protest at the same time.


    "We have insufficient actors now, and many of the scenes can only be rescheduled." Peter Jackson started the next filming plan. "The casting director of the crew searched for New Zealand, looking for not so many handsome men and women to play the elves, we can only Shoot other scenes first."


    "Perhaps Peter can personally play one of them." Sean Bin pinched his chin and looked up and down the director.


    "Yes, we have two big handsome guys, Ryan and Orlando. I think everyone doesn''t want to be handsome anymore. We may need a different kind of elves." Alan Lee, who is a concept designer, also came over at this time.


    "The problem is that Peter is more like a hobbit." The person who spoke was Sean Austin, who played Sam.


    "I heard that the computer technology of Weta Studio is very remarkable. Maybe you can use post-production technology to make this kind of special effects to make Mr. Jackson a little like a wizard?"


    Listening to Olardo Bloom¡¯s joke, Ryan patted the shoulders of the handsome man, and said very seriously, ¡°Believe me, Orlando, this kind of technology is not available in the current Weta Studios, it¡¯s another ten years in the past. There won''t be!"


    Everyone laughed at the same time, and Ryan continued, "Peter, unless you lose weight, you should play the strong orc or the pirate."


    "Okay, Ryan, I don''t care about you for the sake of finding the status." The New Zealand fat man seemed to be very generous, waved his hand and walked towards the director''s chair, "I heard you hire a special swordsmanship instructor. Don¡¯t plan to use stuntmen in the next action shots? Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely meet your requirements... Well, Aragorn¡¯s fighting seems to be too difficult. We should redesign his action scenes and increase the difficulty. , In addition, it makes Aragorn look a bit tragic when fighting..."


    A few months before the filming started, most of the actors gathered together for nearly two months of special training. Only Ryan used his own privileges and did not come to participate. Peter Jackson¡¯s dissatisfaction is completely understandable.


    Also, even though he agreed to Ryan''s role as Aragorn, he was actually worried about whether Ryan would be too young before the filming of Aragorn started...


    The day''s shooting ended quickly. After removing her makeup, Ryan asked the props team for her own special weapon, the Nasir Holy Sword.


    This is not an aluminum sword or a rubber sword, except that it has no blade and a light weight, it is a real steel sword.


    "Hey, Ryan, what are you going to do?"


    Just walking out of the large warehouse where the props group is located, Ryan ran into Orlando Bloom, who was also here, and the British student greeted politely, "Sean is going to have a treat tonight. Shall we go together?"


    "Forget it, I still won''t go." Ryan knew they were going to a bar in Queenstown, "You know, I can''t drink."


    "Okay, then." Orlando Bloom took the sword slung around his waist and asked curiously, "Going to the woods again? Ryan, if you continue like this, you will become a real ranger."


    Ryan waved his hand and walked towards the stables. After the filming in the last few days, he would ride a horse to the nearby woods for a few laps to experience the life of a ranger like Orlando Bloom. It was to avoid Charlize Theron.


    Although the South African Diamond is still a good friend, Ryan can faintly feel something. Out of the most basic respect for his friend, it is impossible for him to speak maliciously when the other party comes to the door Had no choice but to hide.


    "Briego, didn''t you know me after only one day?"


    Ryan walked in front of the placed maroon horse, which will be his main mount in the filming, "Well, we are still a little stranger now, but I believe we will become friends."


    Then, he stepped on the horse''s back and asked the horse trainer who was holding the reins, "Roy, is there any way to improve the relationship with the horse? Faster..."


    "The easiest way..." The horse trainer hesitated, and pointed to the stable. "Sleep in the stable with Brigo."


    "Sure enough, it''s a good way." Ryan''s mouth trembled, took the reins, and drove Brigo toward the distant woods.


    After two laps around the woods, Ryan stayed in front of the open area in the middle. After allowing Brigo to enjoy the fresh food, he pulled out the Nasir holy sword and reviewed the swordsmanship practiced specifically for shooting. It won¡¯t be long before it will come in handy. .

 Chapter 379： There is a play in the play

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group


    Adding up all the trilogy, the plot about Rivendell is not too much, but a large number of sets and props are needed as the background, the arrangement is very cumbersome, and the shooting speed is not fast.


    Regarding the entire trilogy and Peter Jackson¡¯s overall thoughts, Ryan is very clear. After familiarizing himself with the following scenes and lines, his eyes fell on the opposite side of the camera. Charlize Theron, dressed up as the fairy princess, is now Arguing with King Elrond, played by Hugo Weiwen.


    The role of this pure vase is more embodied in costumes, makeup and appearance. With the acting skills that Charlize Theron has honed in the past few years, it is not difficult to deal with, as long as she can grasp the temperament of Arwen.


    After Peter Jackson''s "rest" sounded, Charlize Theron did not hesitate, and walked directly towards where Ryan was.


    "Hi, Charlie." Ryan had no choice but to say hello.


    "Ryan, it''s about to play with Arwen and Aragorn, are you ready?" Charlize Theron sat on the chair next to him, with gray pupils with contact lenses, hiding a bit of joking. , "This seems to be the first time we have collaborated in a movie, right?"


    "It should be." Ryan nodded and said, "You are in a good state today. I think our drama will end soon."


    "That''s not necessarily." Charlize Theron''s mouth put a faint smile on, "I remember you said that only God can understand the state."


    Have you ever said something like this? Ryan scratched his head suspiciously.


    "Does it need to be right?" Charlize Theron asked suddenly, leaning closer.


    "I think it''s not difficult." Ryan frowned. "So forget it."


    Opposition? What''s the joke? It''s a kissing scene next. Do you still need to practice on the spot before shooting?


    Thinking of this, Ryan couldn''t help but glance at Charlize Theron. The South African diamonds are simple, peaceful, without any surprises.


    "Ryan, Charlie, it''s your turn."


    Peter Jackson''s assistant came over to inform the two of them to prepare.


    "Fifty-fifth scene 21." After Ryan and Charlize walked up the small arch bridge hidden in the green trees, the assistant director got Peter Jackson''s matter and shouted, "Now! "


    "Remember what I told you back then?"


    Listening to the Quenya spoken by the black-haired and grey-eyed female elf, Ryan looked at the opponent''s eyes at the moment. Full of love, his hand slowly slipped from Charlize Theron''s shoulders and landed on the other''s white chest, gently stroking the silver-white evening star, and also said in Quenya, "You said You are willing to give up the eternal life of the elves and give your heart to me..."


    "My heart remains the same. I would rather spend my life with you than live forever by myself."


    do not know when. The female elf took the Evening Star from her chest and stuffed it into the generous palm, "I choose the life of a mortal."


    "You can''t give this to me."


    "This is my choice."


    Ryan felt it, and took Charlize Theron''s hand. It seems to be trembling, but both of them are experienced actors, still controlling the progress of the scene. This scene is for them. Not difficult.


    Two soft red lips were getting closer, Ryan tilted his head slightly, and he was Aragorn at the moment. He kissed his lover without hesitation.


    According to the predetermined plan, the two people only need to touch a little, and then maintain this position for a few seconds is enough.


    But what Ryan did not expect was that Charlize Theron held his hand and tightened suddenly when the two lips were about to touch, like a hunter who had been waiting for a long time to catch his prey, and then it was soft and hot. His red lips were pressed **** him.


    Ok! This is the need for filming.


    A second ago, Ryan still maintained the qualities that an actor should have. After all, there are always various accidents during the shooting.


    But in the next second, he realized that it was wrong. A long tongue passed through his lips in an instant, slid through the gap between the teeth, and found his tongue accurately, just like a naughty child. The same, entangled tightly.


    Tongue kiss!


    This is not the need of the plot.


    Ryan opened his eyes abruptly, and the face of Charlize Theron, who was close to him, was still the expression that Arwen should have...


    "Cut!"


    Peter Jackson''s voice came over, "Ryan, what are you doing? What are you doing with your eyes open?"


    "Your kissing skills don''t seem to be very good, Ryan."


    I don¡¯t know when, Charlize Theron¡¯s lips have moved to his ears, and he said in a voice of only two people, "I hope this shot won¡¯t be ten times..."


    "Charlie!"


    Ryan¡¯s staring gaze was directly ignored by Charlize Theron. She had known each other for several years. How could she not know that this guy treats friends and unrelated people completely differently, "Ryan, start over. Up."


    Peter Jackson on the main camera is already greeting the staff to make preparations again.


    "What do you want to do?" Even though the time and place were wrong, Ryan frowned and asked.


    "Did I do anything?" Charlize Theron looked extremely innocent, "What the **** did I do? Aren''t we playing the role?"


    Without waiting for Ryan to continue to ask questions, Peter Jackson''s voice was already heard over there. After Ryan made an ok gesture, the assistant director called out again to start.


    Then... Charlize Theron¡¯s tongue got in again, entangled with Ryan flexibly. After only a few tenths of a second, the long tongue suddenly retreated, and Ryan subconsciously followed. , Coupled with the suction from the South African diamond''s mouth, almost instantly passed through two rows of white and fine teeth.


    Damn it!


    When his tongue was gently bitten by the opponent''s teeth and sucked hard, Ryan felt that the beating heart in his chest was almost about to be sucked into the mouth by the woman on the opposite side.


    "Cut!"


    Ryan was awakened by the shout of the New Zealand fat man, "After that, I will be here today."


    Ryan hurriedly wanted to separate from Charlize Theron, but when her tongue retracted, she was bitten by her with no slightness or seriousness.


    Ok. He admitted that it was really tempting for a moment.


    But in the face of the temptation of such a woman, how many men are not tempted? Ryan explained in his heart that he didn''t want to entangle with Charlize Theron anymore, jumped off the prop bridge, and went straight back to the dressing room.


    It was also troublesome to remove makeup, such as the beard, the wrinkles outlined on the face, the black robe of Aragon, etc. With the assistance of two makeup artists, Ryan gradually recovered his appearance, except for the long black hair.


    "Hi. Ryan."


    Just as Ryan was washing his face, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. When he looked back, the two makeup artists did not know when they had left. A white towel was being handed over by Charlize Theron. Come here.


    The South African Diamond has changed back to his casual dress. The close-fitting casual clothes are tight on the curvy body, and the long riding boots on the feet appear to have extra slender legs, tied to the long black hair behind the head, pressing down. Wearing a teal cowboy hat. The eyes under the brim of the hat have returned to their original colors, and they are now shining with moving brilliance.


    I have known each other for more than five years, and have been friends for a few years, with Charlize Theron''s delicate thoughts. I have known the aesthetics of the opposite person a long time ago, and I know that I am the type he admires most. This outfit has been carefully chosen by her to show off her tall and slender figure.


    Like Nicole Kidman... I don''t know why. This thought suddenly flashed through her mind.


    Then Charlize Theron shook her head, dispelling what she thought was very unreliable.


    "What''s the matter. Charlie?" Ryan wiped the water droplets off his face, and Ryan hung the towel back to its original position.


    Charlize Theron did not speak, but stared at him closely, like a hunter who had been waiting for a long time, and finally saw the prey fall into the trap he dug.


    "That was my most beautiful kiss, and I still miss the taste just now." After a short silence, she suddenly spoke.


    "Charlie, that was filming..."


    "Don''t say you don''t feel it!" Charlize Theron interrupted Ryan and took a big step forward. "Don''t say you didn''t... tempted, your tongue and your lips have already betrayed your ideas. ."


    Ryan''s eyes narrowed, right in front of his eyes, that long and flexible tongue, along the two soft red lips, is slowly walking back and forth, always reminding people of too much...


    There seemed to be flames burning in the sky blue eyes. How many normal men could refuse this temptation?


    As if he had guessed Ryan''s thoughts, Charlize Theron took another step forward. His tall and slender body was almost touching his body, and his charming face was even closer.


    Ryan even felt the slight scorching breath when she breathed.


    This breath does not belong to anyone, only the taste and attraction that belong to Charlize Theron alone.


    Ok! Since you want to be crazy, go crazy together.


    Those who can hold back this time, UU Reading either has a physical defect, or has a problematic orientation, or is a true saint.


    It''s a pity that Ryan is not any of them, and his control is only slightly stronger than ordinary people.


    Almost subconsciously, Ryan provoked Charlize Theron''s pointed chin, and when her pretty face raised slightly, it was directly printed on the two soft and warm red lips.


    Charlize Theron''s eyes widened first, and when his tongue was sucked into the place that was so missed, his eyes narrowed into long lines...


    Although the door of the dressing room was closed, it was a studio where people came and went. After a short deep kiss, Ryan raised his head and broke free of Charlize Theron¡¯s entangled lips, and the South African Diamond¡¯s body was completely attached to it. He was wounded tightly around him like a mollusk at this time.


    "I heard that you like to hang out in the woods by yourself these days." Charlize Theron tiptoe, bit his ear beads, and said with a chuckle, "Can you count me?"

 Chapter 380： Outdoors

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! When the sky was dim, Ryan rode Brigo, Charlize Theron rode a white horse, two The people ran side by side towards the woods slowly.


    "Winter is coming soon. I heard from Peter that sometimes it will snow here." Charlize Theron raised the blue cowboy hat on his head. "Now it''s all green everywhere, and I don''t feel like winter at all. "


    "Look at those mountains, it feels like winter."


    Ryan''s whip pointed at the Southern Alps in the distance, and the snow-capped mountains were faintly visible.


    "If we have time, we can go up there." Charlize Theron pulled off the reins, and the horse moved closer to Ryan. "The scenery in Queenstown is very beautiful. When we rest, we can accompany you. Traveling, how about you and me?"


    "Charlie..."


    Without waiting for Ryan''s words to say below, Charlize Theron suddenly approached from the side and pressed a hard stamp on his lips. This action is very dangerous for the rider. If Ryan hadn''t given her a blow , The South African diamond is likely to fall.


    But she didn''t care at all, and she shouted in a loud voice, "You know, Ryan, today is my happiest day after I turn fourteen!"


    "A hundred times happier than winning the Golden Globe and Oscar nomination!" She suddenly shook the reins of the white horse, and the horse slightly changed its direction, rushing along the edge of the woods towards the mountains to the south.


    "Hey, slow down, Charlie!"


    The opponent''s riding skills were not very clever. Ryan hurriedly drove Brigo to chase him up. Fortunately, Charlize Theron was a little too excited, but he hadn''t fainted yet, and the horse''s speed was not particularly fast.


    "Ryan, haven''t you received professional riding training in Australia? Why are you so slow?" She took the time to look back and made a face, "Come and chase me!"


    "There is a reward for catching up~" When she turned around, she added another sentence.


    The huge horseshoe stepped on the green and yellow weeds. After smashing the fallen leaves that came with the wind, two horses, one white and one red, quickly moved away from the crew''s resident, and came to the rocky hillside.


    Seeing Charlize Theron turned over and dismounted, moving his slender legs and disappearing behind the rock, Ryan shook his head, Ren Brigo took the white horse to search for food nearby, and then chased him.


    This is a small hill on the outskirts of the Southern Alps. It is mainly composed of boulders. Ryan still remembers this place, just a few days after arriving in New Zealand. The crew also took shots here and filmed the scene of the Fellowship Team''s expedition.


    Stepping on the smooth rock, Ryan had just turned behind a two-person high boulder. Charlize Theron did not know where he jumped out, and plunged into his arms, driving Ryan to hit behind him. On the boulder, he couldn''t help frowning because of the pain.


    "Charlie!"


    Just as Ryan uttered her name, the South African Diamond pressed him hard against the rock wall, two soft red lips. He blocked the rest of the words back into his throat, and the long and flexible tongue opened his teeth without much effort, spinning and licking around him. Tightly wound together.


    For this day, Charlize Theron didn''t know how long he waited, if he had other purposes when he first came up with the idea of ??pursuing Ryan. But getting along for a long time, the other''s talents, the other''s achievements. The other''s body and appearance, the other''s character that always silently helps her friends, and everything about the other''s fascinated her deeply.


    It''s not that she has never thought of giving up, after all, no one can stick to it for a long time without paying back.


    Stuart Townsend, an actor from Ireland, has been pursuing her hard, and her perseverance really moved her.


    But before giving up, she wanted to try one last time, so she chose the audition for "The Lord of the Rings" and chose the role of Arwen? Evening Star.


    Now, at midnight, the most difficult time, the person who dreams of solving physical needs is obviously moved by her.


    Everyone is an adult. When they come out, they actually have preparations in their hearts. After the long kiss in the dressing room, things will definitely go in a certain direction.


    Ryan could feel that Charlize''s slender hands slowly slid down his chest and landed on the buckle of the belt. At the same time, her red lips were also slipping off, that long fragrant tongue. , Licked his chin and Adam''s apple, two rows of fine teeth, biting on his chest, not light or heavy, quickly found the most sensitive place.


    When things came to the present, Ryan had thrown all his extra worries behind his head. If he could refuse this beautiful diamond at this time, it would be more sacred than all the saints since the birth of mankind.


    A blue cowboy hat suddenly fell on the flat rock, along with men''s riding pants.


    Although the current weather is not cold, it is not warm. The occasional mountain breeze makes Ryan feel cool. He put his hand on Charlize¡¯s slender waist and just wanted to turn his passive into Taking the initiative, the South African Diamond was suddenly short.


    Damn it!


    He exhaled heavily, and an unusually warm and moist feeling wrapped Ryan tightly.


    He did not expect that Charlize Theron, who is usually cold and friendly and delicate when getting along, is even more direct than Nicole, as wild and hot as the monsoon on the African savannah.


    Could it have something to do with her growing up in that chaotic place in South Africa?


    Although Charlize''s skills are obviously a bit jerky, the long tongue that is far more flexible than ordinary people still brings great enjoyment to Ryan. When he looked down, he happened to see Charlize Theron was watching. There is no complexity or calculation in his eyes, but only affection.


    "Ryan..."


    With the vague grunting sound, Charlize Theron stood up again, Ryan rolled over and pressed her against the rock wall, almost the fastest way to disarm the South African Diamond.


    "Charlie, I have always been curious..."


    Charlize Theron narrowed her eyes and opened a gap slightly. She didn''t understand why Ryan would ask such a question at this moment.


    "What are you curious about?" Charlize firmly hugged Ryan, who seemed to be thin but was recovering quickly, and put the two bodies together without any barriers. "Curious how I will seduce you?"


    What happened today completely eliminated the last distance between the two.


    "No."


    In a previous life, Ryan knew that Charlize¡¯s blonde hair was dyed, ¡°I¡¯m curious, what color was your hair before it was dyed blonde?¡±


    "Really?" Charlize Zigger laughed, his mouth was close to his ears, and his tongue moved around in the cochlea before he whispered, "You know, Ryan, there is a place where I have never had hair After dyeing, you can go and see for yourself..."


    "Well, I will go to see and appreciate it slowly."


    Pulling the South African diamond from her body, Ryan pulled her body and pushed it slightly, "We have more important things to do now."


    Charlize supported the stone wall very cooperatively, and at the same time turned his body halfway, and patted **** his straight buttocks. The sound of the''pop'' was very loud, "My dear, I have waited too long for this day. ."


    The bright red palms were very eye-catching against the snow-white skin. The slightly red and swollen appearance showed how much effort she had used, but Charlize did not feel uncomfortable at all. His watery eyes just stared at Ryan tightly, seeming to be afraid of him. Flew away at the last moment.


    Those paparazzi who search for gossip and secrets every day would never think that the two movie stars who have been nominated for the best actor and actress Oscars this year are enjoying the best of mankind far away from the center of the world, between the mountains and the wild. Original happiness and passion.


    The sky was gradually shrouded in darkness, and the bright moonlight fell on the almost original land of New Zealand. Charlize Theron leaned back slightly and leaned on the strong chest behind him. Ryan took the reins and steered Brigo unhurriedly walked towards the crew station.


    The neglected white horse, the lost follower, can only use the occasional ringing nose to show its existence.


    When approaching the crew station, Charlize Theron took the initiative to jump off Brigo and returned to his white horse. Although deep in his heart he was reluctant, but Charlize Theron knew that if something happened between the two Exposure will definitely cause great trouble to Ryan in a short period of time, and he is no exception. If you don''t know, you will receive death threats from those crazy female fans.


    Anyway, there is already a substantial relationship between the two. With his own means, can he still run? Charlize had great confidence in himself.


    Besides, she doesn''t take the initiative to expose it, and she will not take the initiative to conceal it. If it is discovered by reporters or the media, then she should admit it generously.


    Ryan has a headache, but since he did it, he won''t regret it. With his character, he won''t be entangled with something that has become a fact.


    As for the future? Then we can only take one step to see Maybe the sharks in the Pacific are their final destination?


    Thinking of this, Ryan suddenly felt that he should go to James Cameron for advice. While the former truck driver maintained his marriage to Linda Hamilton, he was still with Old Ruth¡¯s''granddaughter'' Susie Amis. It is said that Anne Hurd and Catherine Birogg have frequent contacts with him. If there is nothing between them, I am afraid that few people in Hollywood will believe it.


    There is also Madonna. Not only does she maintain the slutty life of the first three thousand faces, she is also in love with Guy Ritchie, and it seems that she has reached the point of discussing marriage.


    Well, few people in Hollywood can compare to Madonna.


    Shaking his head, Ryan dissipated his random thoughts. After all, there is no need to worry too much for the time being. Charlize Theron is not a woman who likes to show off. If she does not nod her head, she will not take the initiative to expose her gossip to the media.


    Just try not to let them bump into each other in private.

 Chapter 381： My king

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! After Rivendell''s scene is over, Charlize Theron returns to North America, and Ian Mike is the same. Ryan, Ryan simply let his business jet send them back to Los Angeles.


    The destination of the two is the same, both of them are Surprise Pictures. I don''t know who said that the South African Diamond, after Arwen, she actually took over the role of a vase-Jean Gray.


    However, it doesn¡¯t matter anymore. Ryan has sent someone to find information about Irene Warnos and another woman who seems to be Hilby. The latter is not a problem. Money can easily make her nod, while the former has been sentenced. After the death penalty, it would be troublesome for her to nod her head to obtain the right to reorganize, maybe after the execution?


    With Charlize Theron¡¯s age and appearance, as well as the nationality from South Africa, it is really very, very difficult to convincingly get the best actress without pretending to be ugly.


    The discrimination of the blonde beauty by the film academy is more than just talking about it.


    The crew of "Lord of the Rings" also left the station, entered the forested area near Queenstown, and began filming the scene of a confrontation with a strong orc.


    Ryan has been practicing swordsmanship in the past few months. In addition, he has learned self-defense from George since he was a child. He is flexible enough. He is the only member of the Ring Team who does not use a stunt stand-in. Almost all action shots are done in person. After the battle was completed, the steel sword that had been reduced in weight was aroused by him.


    Unlike Legolas''s chic freehand brushwork, Aragorn wrestled more personally, and his body was always covered with stains, blood and mud.


    Especially Peter Jackson¡¯s costumes prepared by others, Ryan always smells an unpleasant smell every time he puts them on, but for the sake of acting, he doesn¡¯t care to wield a steel sword. Rolling in the damp grass full of pungent smell, falling more than ten somersaults a day, it has almost become the norm.


    Ryan quickly got acquainted with the stuntmen who played half-orcs. They were killed by him too many times. Even not long after the shooting started, one of them had been killed by Ryan ten times.


    "Ryan, this scene is extremely important. It is an important test for King Elisa. Pay attention to your eyes and expressions."


    At the side of the set-up location, Peter Jackson is giving Ryan his final reminder. After he finished speaking, an action director came over again and reminded, "Ryan, the fight of the Lord of the Rings shows more power. In the previous shooting. You always add some inexplicable actions, which are from the East. Your effort?"


    Ryan nodded silently. After all, he has seen too many kung fu and martial arts films in his previous life. Many people have had a heroic dream since they were young. This is the first time he has filmed such a large-scale action scene. Be affected.


    "I will pay attention." Ryan understood that purely Western-style fighting meets the requirements of this movie.


    Waiting time. Ryan is doing the final check, long sword, wrist guard, belt, etc., and he will fight hard in a while. Every detail may have an unpredictable effect on the next movement.


    "Are you ready, my majesty."


    Ilya Wood, with a standard baby face, walked over, and Ryan drew out half of the long sword in cooperation, and said boldly, "My sword will **** you to the end, Hobbit."


    "Okay. Stop joking, you two, get in place quickly." Peter Jackson''s high-decibel roar came from behind the camera.


    "It''s a terrible voice. I really should let Peter play the strong orc." Ilya Wood said as he walked, "Peter is the most terrifying director I have ever experienced."


    "That''s because you haven''t encountered anything more terrible." Ryan followed, and put his arms around the hobbit''s shoulders. He didn''t care that the other party was frowning by the smell of his costume and exaggeratedly said, "I have been shooting for six months under the pressure of a director whose roar exceeds 200 decibels. That is the real horror."


    Naturally he was talking about James Cameron.


    "One hundred and twenty one, thirty-second act, now begins!"


    After the assistant director''s shout, Ryan and Elijah Wood quickly entered the state of Aragon and Frodo.


    "Frodo!"


    Ryan was still dressed in the standard Aragonese dress, with his sword stepped on the protruding rock on the ground.


    "It confuses Paramir." The little Hobbit backed subconsciously, and Aragorn stepped forward and asked, "Where is the Supreme Lord of the Rings?"


    What happened to Porromir made the Hobbits afraid of trusting anyone and fearing that the other party would be deceived. He turned around and ran, "Don''t come over."


    "Frodo!" Aragorn chased after him.


    The hobbit backed back hesitantly, and Aragorn stretched his hands and said, "I swear to protect you."


    "Can you resist yourself?" The hobbit stopped and slowly opened his hand, with the Supreme Lord Ring in his palm, "Will you destroy it?"


    The most evil existence in this Middle-earth world seems to be calling''King Ilisa'', attracting Aragorn to come to the front of the hobbit, his hand stretched to the Supreme Lord of the Rings, just when he was about to reach it, Suddenly Aragorn knelt in front of Frodo on one knee, and closed the palm of his hand holding the Lord of the Rings for him.


    "I will accompany you to the end! Until the flames of Mordor!" His eyes fell on the hobbit''s sword, and he immediately stood up and drew the long sword, "Go, Frodo! Run!"


    Another fight was about to begin. Ryan slowly adjusted his breathing and strode towards the strong orc who was chasing after him.


    These are all professional stuntmen, and they are also using rubber-made props and weapons, so he doesn''t have to worry that the other party will accidentally injure himself.


    Fighting scenes have been pre-designed and practiced. Just follow the predetermined routine. Ryan¡¯s dancing long sword seems to have chopped off one strong orc after another, but in fact the sword body did not make any contact with the opponent at all. Often when his sword fell, the strong orc had already cooperated and fell to the ground.


    The fighting here is no different from the shooting of Kung Fu movies. If you look at the samples taken by the scene or the camera, it can be said to be very fake, requiring a lot of post-production special effects and editing.


    The action directors who dominate the action scenes often call to stop and make up for Ryan or the strong orcs, especially Ryan, from time to time there will be more dirty or smelly blood from the strong orcs, as well as the originally neat scenes. He was quickly ripped out by the makeup artist.


    "For Elendil!"


    During the tour, Ryan shouted the name of the founding king of Gondor, jumped and lifted and knocked over the two''strong orcs''. When he landed, he was hit by the hilt of his sword on his waist and couldn''t help groaning. Screamed.


    "stop!"


    The action director hurriedly called out, "Call the doctor."


    "It''s okay." Ryan threw the sword away and fumbled under his body. "It seems that something was crushed by me."


    "It''s over, the token of love between King Elisa and Arwen was ruined by Ryan." Probably seeing that Ryan was not injured, a strong orc who was thrown down by him joked.


    It turned out that the evening star hanging around his neck didn''t know when he threw it out, and was crushed by him. Ryan took two pieces of silver-white ornaments and complained, "Peter, the props you made are too weak! "


    "Okay, Ryan, stop complaining." Peter Jackson walked over with the doctor. "Let the doctor check. I don''t want to be a public enemy of the United States because of your injury."


    Ryan didn''t have a major problem, it was just a bruise on his waist. Although the doctor advised him to take a day off, Ryan insisted on the original filming plan.


    The total shooting time of this film is more than a year. He can''t stay here all the time. He can only use the privileges of investors and producers to ask Peter Jackson to shoot Aragorn-related scenes as much as possible while he is in New Zealand. .


    After filming a fighting scene, Ryan can only be described as tragic, and Orlando Bloom, who played with him, still maintains a handsome appearance.


    This Mr. Blossom is indeed very beautiful, even in reality.


    Ryan suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Vigo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom, who played Aragorn, were a good pair of friends. For this reason, Hua Xiaosheng divorced Miranda Kerr. Hao announced publicly that it was coming out.


    Forget it, I don''t want to do this anymore. Ryan drank a few energy drinks, and what I wanted to shoot next was the finishing touch in the first part.


    If a movie wants to become a classic, it must have scenes that make people memorable. Even if you think of it many years later, it will still feel touched or exciting.


    For example, the last kiss in "Bodyguard", such as the parting of Jack and Ruth in "Titanic", and in the first part of The Lord of the Rings, Gandalf was single against the Balrog and the oath before the death of Paramir .


    Peter Jackson took out the scene that Tolkien took in one stroke in the original novel.


    "It''s all over."


    Sean Bing, who plays Paramir, is lying on the ground full of fallen leaves, with three orc arrows inserted between his chest and abdomen. He holds Ryan tightly...ah no, it¡¯s Aragorn¡¯s hand. , "The human world will eventually be destroyed, everything will fall into darkness, and my city will become a ruin..."


    "I don''t know how much energy I have!" Aragorn held his hand tightly But I swear to you, I will never let Baicheng fall, nor will our people perish ! "


    "Our people! Our people..."


    Paramir looked to the other side, where his broadsword was, and Aragorn passed the sword into his hand.


    Holding the hilt tightly in his heart, Porromir left his final vow, "I am willing to follow you, my brother! My leader! My...King!"


    "Numanor, son of Gondor Regent Denetho, passed away."


    When Peter Jackson called for approval, Ryan muttered and put his hand on Sean Bin¡¯s face, as if he wanted to close his eyelids, "You can rest in peace!"


    He turned his head and shouted at Orlando Bloom, "Come here, and help bury Sean."


    "Damn it, Ryan!" Sean Bing slapped Ryan''s hand to the side. "It''s Bromiel who died, not me!"

 Chapter 382： I am sister

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! When shooting an action scene, it is commonplace to get injured. For Ryan, it was too common, and as the filming progressed, the stuntmen who played the orcs became the ones who were accidentally injured the most.


    If he was holding the real Nasir holy sword, it is estimated that there would be several heads that were cut off.


    During the shooting of the Wolf Cavalry chased by the Rohan Cavalry, the biggest accidental injury occurred since the start of the boot. Orlando Bloom and Jin Li¡¯s stuntman turned over from the horse, and the female stuntman pressed him down. As a result, Orlando Bloom was injured.


    The British niche had to be temporarily admitted to the hospital to recuperate, Peter Jackson had to change the shooting plan, and Ryan also ushered in the first long vacation after entering the crew.


    In fact, even if Olado Bloom is not injured, he is ready to leave New Zealand.


    After all, he is not a pure actor, there are many things to deal with.


    Ang Lee, who was on a location in China, wanted Jenkins Pictures to increase investment in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" but was rejected by Julius Stewart. He called Ryan himself and asked him to go to the scene to talk in person. .


    Ryan planned to go there in person, not only to deal with Lee''s affairs, Jenkins Pictures also hosted a questionnaire survey on the film market there, and the results are about to come out.


    It''s just that Ryan hasn''t left before the Swift family came to Queenstown.


    "Aunt Jules said, the scenery here is very good, it''s still winter, and it won''t be as hot as Los Angeles, so mom and dad took us on vacation."


    Taylor sat on the sofa in the living room of the suite. The royal blue eyes blinked and blinked, "I haven''t tried skiing in July, Ryan, will you take me there?"


    "I''m afraid it can''t be done."


    As soon as Ryan''s voice fell, the little guy jumped up from the sofa. After seeing his mother''s stern gaze, he stuck out his tongue mischievously and sat back again, "Why?"


    "Because I am leaving New Zealand." Ryan spread his hands and gestured helplessly.


    "Leaving New Zealand? Are you going back to Los Angeles?" The little guy seemed anxious.


    "No, no. No, I''m going to another country."


    Ryan shook his fingers and looked at her father, "Scott, how is it going?"


    Naturally, he asked about the situation in the stock market.


    "Everything went well." Scott laughed. "Otherwise, where would I have time to take them out on vacation."


    He spoke roughly. "The transaction with Jerry Yang has been completed. He will pay the balance within two months. Negotiations with Cisco¡¯s board of directors have also reached a consensus. The agreement will be signed soon. We moved the two Disney employees. The shareholders, at a premium of 10%, bought the shares they held. It was just too few."


    Ryan nodded, thought about it, and said, "Keep in touch with a few Jewish groups on Wall Street. Their requirements are not excessive, and try to meet them."


    "I see."


    Walt Disney is not the Disney of any person or family for a long time. Its biggest capital comes from Wall Street.


    Tyler was indeed more sensible than before. Although he was wondering where Ryan would go, he waited until the two had finished speaking before asking. "Ryan, I came to New Zealand to play with you, otherwise I would have gone to the Canadian studio to find chubby girls and tomboys."


    "I asked you to take you to the crew, where the filming..." Ryan thought of those makeup, like a real strong orc. I''m afraid it will scare her, she quickly changed the subject, "Do you not need to practice at Warner Records?"


    "I''m on summer vacation." Taylor wrinkled his nose. "I''m not a robot. Besides, some teachers who taught us said that I only need to practice for a certain amount of time every day."


    "Where are you going?" She asked curiously again.


    "China."


    As soon as Ryan''s words fell, there was an excitement in the royal blue eyes, "Wow, that''s great, I''ve never been there yet."


    "My dear, I''m going to the crew and work." Ryan couldn''t help covering his forehead.


    "I won''t get in your way." Taylor understood that the crux of the problem was not with Ryan, and jumped directly into his mother''s arms. "Mom, I heard people say that it is a mysterious and ancient country. Can I go? I promise. Listen to Ryan."


    "I...I want to go too." Taylor''s brother raised his hand weakly.


    "No." Blond Curly took out her sister''s style and stood akimbo in front of her younger brother, "Austin, your task is to stay here to accompany father and mother. I am an older sister! Don''t lick your lips! Don''t allow yourself! Protest! Protest is invalid!"


    "Okay... okay..."


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    "Ryan, Ryan."


    With a shaking, Ryan took his eyes back from the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and looked around, "What happened, dear?"


    "Help me see, this is the tune I wrote after thinking about it for two months."


    Tyler lay on the back of the soft chair and handed over a sheet of noted music with a lot of "tadpoles" drawn. Ryan looked at it, but just a few simple sentences, tried to hum the tune, and quickly suppressed the smile.


    This is a critical period for the little guy to grow up, but it can''t dampen her self-confidence.


    "It''s hard to hear, isn''t it?" Tyler blinked and sighed like Ryan, "Well, I don''t know if you say it, but I''m only nine years old, and I can only write these messy things. Things, when I get a little older, I will definitely surpass you in music."


    "My dear, you are already great." Maybe it was because of Ryan''s influence early on, Taylor''s musical talent seemed to surpass that of his previous life.


    Of course, this is only Ryan''s judgment based on her current performance among her peers, or even those three to four years older than her.


    "Before I came to New Zealand, I went to the apartment in Westwood with Nicole and saw a lot of the things you wrote." Tyler pulled his curly hair longer and longer and said, "Can you give me all of those?"


    "Of course." Ryan rubbed her curly hair, which was his favorite sister.


    Although the apartment in Westwood has not been sold, Ryan gave up the music. I have been there once, and many things that may involve others have long since turned into scraps of paper and turned into ashes on the Malibu beach.


    Taylor said, it is estimated that he created his own at the beginning. Those scores or lyrics that are not used.


    The business jet stopped at an airport in Taipei. After Ryan and his team changed flights, they flew towards Hangzhou.


    Although the plane¡¯s first-class cabin is also very comfortable, there is no way in terms of freedom that can compare to a private plane. Tyler is nestled in the chair next to Ryan, because he was full of sleep when he arrived. Full of energy at the moment.


    "Why do we need to change planes?" Taylor seemed to be puzzled. "Isn''t it troublesome? It''s not free at all."


    On Ryan''s plane, she is the complete master, as long as the plane does not cause a plane crash, no one will care about her.


    "You will understand when you grow up." Ryan can only explain vaguely.


    "Growing up again, so far away."


    Push the little guy back into the chair. Ryan shook his head. Time is always long for minors and never enough for adults.


    Although during the flight, a stewardess that all stars would meet came to sign, but Ryan came here, few people knew beforehand, and walked out of the airport. George quickly contacted the staff of Jenkins Pictures here.


    Although most of the overseas distribution matters, Ryan was handed over to Paramount Pictures, but there was a limit on the number of films introduced here. After the acquisition of Carlock Films, Ryan asked to set up a branch here. , Mainly responsible for some public relations matters.


    He doesn''t ask for much progress now, but just lays a better foundation for a few years later. In a few years at most, film companies around the world will reassess the hugeness and potential of this market.


    Those who have done enough preparations are naturally more likely to get delicious cakes.


    "Ryan. Why do I think they all look the same?"


    While waiting for the car to come, Taylor stared curiously, staring at the crowd, and the people around her looked at her with the same curious eyes.


    "My dear. Actually, they look at us and they feel the same way as you look at them." Ryan pulled on the brim of his hat, and the sunglasses that he took off because the sky was dark were stuck on the bridge of his nose again.


    It was probably Ryan''s actions that caught Taylor''s attention. She asked, "Are you famous here?"


    Shrugging, Ryan didn''t answer, two cars stopped close, and the co-pilot of one jumped out of a familiar figure.


    "Chen?" Ryan walked over curiously.


    "Hey, Ryan, I didn''t expect it to be me?" Chen Jiazheng patted him, then looked at the little guy holding Ryan''s hand, "Hey, Taylor."


    "Hello, Chen." Knowing that this is Ryan''s classmate and friend, Taylor is very polite.


    "George, the luggage is handed to you."


    The luggage was mainly Taylor''s guitar and banjo. After George nodded, Ryan took Taylor and got into the car in front of him.


    "When did you return to China?"


    After the car drove out of the airport, Ryan asked Chen Jiazheng in the co-pilot seat, "You are in the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?"


    "After the summer vacation started, we went to the companyThe company in Chen Jiazheng''s mouth was naturally Jenkins Pictures," Then I heard that there is a project here, so I applied for it, and I can go home to visit relatives. . "


    "Chen, is there any fun here?" Taylor asked, looking out the car window.


    "This is a very old city." Chen Jiazheng explained to her patiently, "If you stay long enough, I can take you around."


    "Okay, then go to the lake you said...what is the lake to the west." Tyler scratched Curly. "There is also a broken bridge."


    "West Lake and Broken Bridge." Ryan reminded her.


    "Ryan, Director Li is shooting a night scene. Should we go to the studio first or the hotel?" Chen Jiazheng asked when it was almost a fork in the road.


    "Go to the hotel first, and then go to the studio tomorrow."


    Although Taylor is still very energetic, but after all he is not ten years old, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be sleepy.

 Chapter 383： Bamboo Forest Edge

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! As long as the other party can create enough benefits for yourself, don¡¯t be China, even in the Sahara Desert, Ryan will personally Go meet and talk with him.


    The next day, Ryan came to the location venue in Yunvquan, Hangzhou, where the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filming a fight and scenery scene. He met Li Ang, who had never seen him since the project was established.


    In fact, Ryan handed over the entire film to Ang Li, except for a small number of supervisors and interns from Jenkins Pictures - such as Chen Jiazheng who just entered the industry - the crew is almost all Li Ang and Xu Those recruited for meritorious service are mainly of Chinese descent.


    When Ryan came, the crew was still busy filming, which can be regarded as a Hollywood tradition. If there weren''t extremely important things, even if God came, they would not take the initiative to interrupt the ongoing filming.


    In front of the camera lens, several actors flew around on a wire, posing very beautiful poses.


    "Wow, it''s so cool." Tyler took Ryan''s hand and gradually opened her mouth, but she was free to play big at the film company. Knowing that she can''t make too much movement now, she lowered her voice and asked, "Ryan, they Are you shooting a science fiction movie?"


    "My dear, they are shooting a martial arts movie." Ryan also lowered his voice. It seemed that after the movie was released, most audiences and media in North America would treat it as a science fiction movie.


    "Martial arts?" Taylor obviously didn''t understand.


    "It''s a kind of action movie."


    As soon as Ryan''s explanation was over, Taylor seemed to think of something, "By the way, when I went to Sydney, Nicole and the others flew around on a wire, but it was not so exaggerated."


    Suddenly she pointed to the back of the camera, where a guy with pimple was sitting there, "He was on the set in Sydney at the time. Was he an action director?"


    Following the guy''s hand, Ryan found that the person was Yuan Heping. Nodded immediately.


    After waiting for about ten minutes, the crew temporarily stopped filming, and Ang Lee came over, "Mr. Jenkins."


    "Call me Ryan." Ryan shook his hand.


    "Okay. Ryan."


    After all, he wants to develop in Hollywood in the future. Ang Lee understands that there is no harm in having a good relationship with Ryan, "Can we go there to talk?"


    He pointed to the temporary resting place next to him.


    "Okay." Ryan nodded.


    The temporary rest place of the crew is set up in a very good place. It is on the edge of a green bamboo forest. Although it has entered the summer, the weather in Hangzhou is not particularly hot. Can bring the slightest coolness.


    "Ryan. Can I go and play by myself?" Where can Taylor sit patiently on a bamboo chair and listen to him and Li Ang talk about work.


    "No trick or treat."


    Seeing Ryan nodded, the guy shook his curly hair and left here, and the two bodyguards immediately followed.


    "This is the best West Lake Longjing."


    Under the gaze of several actors who were resting on the other side, Li An filled Ryan with tea. "Although it is different from the black tea we are used to, it has a different flavor."


    "Hmm...it''s really different." Ryan put down the tea cup and went directly to the topic, "Li, I have already passed the samples and plans you sent, frankly speaking. The production budget of 10 million U.S. dollars, for this One movie is enough."


    "Ryan, come here. After going through the scenery and the action design of Mr. Yuan, I realized that under the original theme, the picture can be made more beautiful. The action fighting can also be more elegant, and I also plan to use the soundtrack. For some articles, Tan Dun from the United States has already made a part of the soundtrack. I plan to invite Youyou Ma to play it."


    This is just to make the movie even better, and Ang Lee understands that this is not enough. "If the North American box office of a movie does not reach five times the production budget, I will automatically give up the pay and dividends."


    Ryan was stunned. Obviously, he didn''t expect Ang Lee to be so courageous, but he wanted to, without courage, how could he dared to shoot "Brokeback Mountain" after the fiasco of "Hulk" in his previous life.


    How much was the investment in this movie in the previous life? Ryan frowned without any impression.


    He can remember that the movies with a production budget are a few of the few, most of which are super giants with overwhelming publicity, such as the trilogy of ``Titanic'''' and ``Lord of the Rings'''', and cost movies like ``Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'''' He only knew that the box office in North America exceeded 100 million, and the global box office reached 200 million US dollars.


    "How much additional investment is needed?" This is the focus of Ryan''s concern.


    "Six million dollars!"


    Ryan, who slowly buckled the bamboo chair, thought for a while and said, "I agree in principle, but it will take Ms. Stewart''s deliberation, and it will probably take a while."


    "As long as it is before the start of post-production." Li Ang''s spirits lifted up, and with enough funds, he has the confidence to hit the Oscars.


    When ``Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'''' was established, Ryan passed the script. Although there are some changes in the details, the theme of the movie is the same as in the previous life. Ang Lee is a smart man, knowing that pure martial arts films can never impress North America. The audience, and the Oscar judges.


    Asian clothes and American art are the right choices.


    This film is also a co-production. Jenkins Pictures accepted a small part of Xu Ligong¡¯s investment. Otherwise, if Jenkins Pictures is a producer, it is very likely that it will not pass the Oscar''s best foreign language film review in the future.


    Ang Lee went to take the shot for the movie again. After Ryan had a meeting, he saw an acquaintance standing not far away and went over to say hello.


    "Hi, Mr. Yuan, I didn''t think we would meet again." He smiled.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins." Yuan Heping squeezed for a long time before showing a smile.


    Ryan didn''t mind, after all, he had done too much digging, and it was normal to be hated by others.


    After the crew started to rest again, Ryan looked for Taylor, and the guy sat quietly on a chair, concentrated on the makeup artist taking care of the headdress for a young actress, his eyes blinking, it seemed that very interested.


    "Honey, what are you doing?" Ryan sat in the chair next to her.


    "Learn Chinese hairstyles." Taylor tugged on the golden curly hair. "Ryan, during the school celebration, if I change to this hairstyle, will it cause a sensation?"


    "It''s not for you." Ryan shook his head.


    Blond and blue eyes with a pure Chinese hairstyle, it is simply nondescript.


    Taylor wrinkled his nose, stood up, and asked, "Have you finished talking about your work?"


    "Hmm"


    "Well, we can go play."


    The current weather is not suitable for going too far. The people of Ryan just circled around the Yunu Spring. These scenes are full of exotic flavors in the eyes of Taylor, George and others, but when he comes, it is nothing more than Ordinary.


    "According to legend, Su Dongpo..."


    In a shop selling tourist souvenirs, Chen Jiazheng is explaining the origin of a souvenir for Ryan and Taylor. "Su Dongpo is a well-known poet in ancient China. He likes the spring water of Yunv Spring very much. After the water was dropped, the bamboo was specially used to make a mark, which was given to the monks in the monastery as a voucher for taking water. Later generations called it a "water transfer symbol".


    "Is it this?" Taylor flipped through the bamboo tube in his hand, and then returned the lack of interest. He pointed to a section of verdant bamboo and asked, "What is that? Can bamboo be sold in the store too?"


    "That is the bamboo flute, a traditional Chinese musical instrument."


    Listening to Ryan''s instrument, Taylor''s eyes lit up immediately, and he said to Chen Jiazheng, "Chen, can the boss take it over?"


    The emerald green bamboo flute quickly took her in her hand, and Taylor looked up and down carefully, scratching the curls all over his head, "Ryan, how do you play this?"


    "I''ll try."


    Although it was the first time to use the bamboo flute, Ryan had simply studied flute in London before and played a piece of "Brandenburg Concerto" without much effort.


    "Choose it!"


    In addition to the bamboo flute, Taylor also deliberately selected a few others, "Dad, mom, Austin, fake, fat girl, and Nicole..."


    Then, she stopped Ryan who wanted to pay, "I will pay by myself!"


    "You have money?" Ryan was curious.


    Tyler wrinkled his nose and took out a purse from the slanting bag, which contained a few green dollar bills.


    "My favorite pocket money." She explained, "This is a gift I gave to a friend. Of course I have to buy it with my money."


    Fortunately, there are probably foreigners coming to visit here often, and the boss does not refuse US dollars.


    "Ryan, your influence is not as great as I thought."


    When a few people were sitting in a pavilion and resting, Taylor drew on the juice hard with the visitors coming and going, and muttered, "It''s been so long, and no one knows you."


    Now is not the future, after all, when Hollywood stars are far from enjoying their lives, Ryan also changed to a completely different shape from Jack Dawson. The shoulder-length black hair and the large sunglasses on the bridge of the nose are the best. camouflage.


    "It''s relative here, it''s still necessary to shut down some It''s Chen Jiazheng," especially the media and entertainment industries. "


    "You are going to join, that is the challenge for the film industry?" Ryan remembered what he and other Hollywood companies are doing, "Of course it is also an opportunity for change."


    "Listening to the negotiations has made significant progress." Chen Jiazheng nodded.


    "Jenkins Pictures will accelerate its development here."


    Listening to Ryan''s words, Chen Jiazheng is somewhat complicated. He knows that his classmate and friend has always coveted the market here.


    Moreover, the commercial production produced by Jenkins Pictures is indeed excellent. The introduction of such a film is definitely not the current domestic film can compete.


    Joining is a huge opportunity.In fact, Ryan and several Hollywood giants are uniting to put pressure on the federal government in order to gain more benefits for Hollywood in bilateral negotiations, especially in the introduction of the number and knowledge of movies. In terms of property rights protection.

 Chapter 384： Questionnaire

    Hollywood is not just the Hollywood of the entertainment industry. Even the vast majority of Hollywood celebrities don''t like the federal government very much, and even some liberal voices often appear, but it cannot change its important role in the US globalization strategy.


    The big productions from Hollywood not only create huge economic benefits, but also spread American mainstream values ??to the world, which is almost clear to the whole world.


    In the Sino-US bilateral negotiations on the WTO, the film and television products from Hollywood are also a part that cannot be ignored. In particular, the number and schedule of imported films has become one of the most prominent points of disagreement between the two sides.


    Behind this, you can see the shadow of the Hollywood conglomerate. No one is a fool. "Titanic" has achieved great success here and even caused a sensation. Although the profits are limited, since the day of the rise of Hollywood, these Large groups have cultivated one after another overseas markets and captured one country after another with large productions.


    How can a market with a population exceeding one billion, rapid economic development, and an extremely backward film industry being ignored by them?


    Of all Hollywood¡¯s larger film companies, Paramount Pictures and Jenkins Pictures are undoubtedly the forefront, and the first to set up a Chinese branch. Although the current Sino-US relationship is close to the freezing point, normal business between the two parties The exchanges were not interrupted.


    Although there is competition with each other, the major film companies and media groups have common interests in developing new markets. Ryan, including Ryan, secretly funded and pressured no less than any other capital group. They thought It is very simple, the federal government can be in bilateral negotiations. Fight for more benefits for Hollywood.


    "True Lies", "Jurassic Park", "Titanic", "Saving Private Ryan", and even Ryan''s "Leaves of a Deserted Island", which Ryan thinks are on the street, are all swept away in the movie market More than ten million dollars at the box office, and this is just the beginning. After all, there are too few screens here.


    All this shows the huge potential of this market.


    The federal government and the United States need Hollywood to spread their mainstream values ??to the world, and Hollywood also needs to use national and economic strength to develop and cultivate its own market, which is no different from other industries.


    Of course, Ryan does not care about the needs of the federal government and the United States. What he wants is simple, that is, interests.


    No one knows better than him. How big is the potential of this film market, in ten years, it will even be comparable to the North American film market!


    After several years of hard work and continuous bombardment of excellent productions, this market is developing in the direction that Ryan envisioned at a faster rate than in the past.


    As for whether it will destroy the film industry here. He is not worried at all, that closure will never bring development. Besides, although a certain big scissors often does some inexplicable things, it also protects the film industry here to a large extent.


    In addition, Ryan also made people actively contact Sanlian Publishing House. He wants the Harry Potter series to be published here as soon as possible, even if there are pirated copies at that time, he doesn''t care. As long as the entire series has influence, making money is not a problem at all.


    By the way, there is also an Asian character in the Harry Potter series. For the market of this series, should I find a girl star from here?


    However, copyright protection here is indeed a big problem. Derivatives that can account for the bulk of the film industry''s revenue in North America, here...


    "Ryan. Why not complain to them?" Tyler''s little head was full of doubts.


    This is the West Lake. When they were playing, they passed a video store, Taylor ran in curiously, and then saw a large number of "Titanic" and "Jurassic Park" discs. With the experience of the little guy staying in the film company all year round, he can easily tell that it is unauthorized piracy.


    Originally, she wanted to question the boss who was selling upright, but Ryan asked George to carry it out.


    "This loss is all our money!" The little guy was obviously poisoned by Ryan''s thoughts.


    "Okay, my dear, this is not North America." Ryan can only helplessly rub her head. There is no way to explain this kind of thing. There is a long distance between the understanding of the copyright of cultural products on both sides. , Didn¡¯t you grow up looking at piracy?


    "You should mail them a lawyer''s letter!" Taylor received an elite education and had vague concepts about many basic common sense.


    "What then?" Ryan shook her head and led her to Su Di, "fighting a time-consuming and labor-intensive transnational lawsuit?"


    "Is there no one here?" Even if she was being pulled by Ryan, she still looked back at the video store from time to time.


    "Yes." There is a special day every year.


    Pulling Taylor''s head back, Ryan asked, "Want to row a boat?"


    "You?" Tyler was obviously cowering, "I don''t want to sink to the bottom of the lake to feed fish."


    After turning around Sudi, the sun gradually rose to the head position. Taylor had already drunk the second cold drink, and said with his tongue out, "Let¡¯s go back, I''m hungry, Ryan!"


    "Well, what do you want to eat? Authentic Chinese food?"


    "By the way, Ryan, I asked Chen yesterday and said that there is a name here..."


    After getting in the car, Taylor couldn¡¯t help scratching his head, took out the sticky note in his bag, and after looking at it, he said again, ¡°It should be called the building outside the building. Chen said it¡¯s a store that has been in business for more than a hundred years , The dishes are delicious."


    The building outside? Ryan froze for a moment, and then understood that it must be the building outside the building.


    Louwailou is located at the foot of the Lonely Mountain by the West Lake. It probably came earlier, and there are not many guests here.


    Asking for a two-table private room near the lake, Ryan ordered signature dishes such as Xihucuyu, Jiahuatong Chicken, and Dongpo Braised Pork, fearing that Taylor and others might not be used to it, and ordered a few more Western-style meals.


    Just after ordering the food, George''s phone rang, and he handed it to Ryan, but it was Chen Jiazheng who called.


    "Ryan, where are you? The results of the questionnaire are out!"


    "Outer building, come over for lunch together."


    About half an hour later, Chen Jiazheng hurried over, still holding a file bag in his hand.


    "Sit, Chen!" Ryan pointed to the opposite chair.


    "Hot, Chen?" Taylor poured him a glass of cold juice with a grin.


    "Thank you!" After he drank most of it in one sip, he handed the document bag to Ryan. "The questionnaire sent out last month has already been counted."


    "You eat first, don''t worry about me." Ryan opened the file bag on his own.


    The potential of the Chinese film market is not that simple. In order to grasp the first-line data as a reference, he united Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and Time Warner. At the beginning of this summer, he jointly invested to open up the joints. Relevant research companies were hired, and more than 200,000 questionnaires about movies were distributed to colleges and universities here.


    No matter which country and region they are in, young people are the main consumers of the film market, especially pure commercial productions.


    This survey is mainly aimed at first-tier cities. The number of theaters and screens in these cities far exceeds the average level. It is also the film introduced by Jenkins Pictures here, contributing the most box office and the fastest growth. city.


    Among the nearly 200,000 questionnaires received, nearly 70% of college students said that as long as there are movies of interest, they would choose to enter the theater to watch. The ticket price and the excitement of the movie are the primary factors they consider .


    And more than two-thirds of them will give priority to movies from Hong Kong and Hollywood, believing that there is a clear gap between domestically produced movies and the former two.


    Because of Ryan''s involvement, many big productions that were not introduced here in the previous life, since he wrote it out, a lot of sensitive content has been removed, coupled with some targeted work, and finally appeared in This land.


    For example, the "Jurassic Park" series.


    A large-scale production with the most advanced film technology and precision processing can hardly find an opponent here, and the only opponent, Hong Kong film, is only one step away from death.


    The market is about to open its doors.


    "George, after you go back, send a copy to all partners." Ryan handed the document bag to George.


    If you want to really get familiar with the market, Jenkins Pictures can''t do it even if its scale is tenfold. This is the benefit of Hollywood.


    Of course, it is one of the main markets for his future profit.


    "How does it taste." Ryan''s attention returned to the dinner table.


    "Weird," Taylor muttered.


    Obviously, she just tasted most of the dishes, she shouldn''t be accustomed to the taste, so she never touched it again.


    "My dear, didn''t you say that you want to taste food from all over the world? That''s not good." Ryan tasted the long-lost pure Chinese food.


    "But you also said that every country and nation has its own eating habits and characteristics." The little guy plausibly said, "For example, Chen, when you first ate butter bread, did you think it was a rare delicacy in the world? ?"


    "Of course not!" Chen Jiazheng smiled and shook his head.


    "For example, this dishTaylor refers to the custard fish in West Lake," George hasn''t moved either. "


    George shrugged and was silent, obviously not wanting to get involved.


    "Well, we have butterbread for dinner." Ryan helped the little girl wipe the food residue from her cheeks. "That''s all right?"


    After seeing Ang Lee''s shooting progress, and getting the results of the questionnaire, Ryan''s work on this trip is considered complete. After two days of playing with Taylor, he is ready to return to Los Angeles.


    Because the Matrix is ??about to premiere.


    In the past six months or so, Harvey Weinstein has almost disappeared from Hollywood''s sight. He and the Wachowski brothers entered the editing room together, using the lure of high remuneration to squeeze all the post-production staff.


    Although it was co-produced with Jenkins Pictures, strictly speaking, this was also the first film since the establishment of Weinstein Pictures, which played an extremely important role in the future development of the entire company.

 Chapter 385： Dream and reality are always far away

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group


    The black-haired and grey-eyed elf princess is holding a scimitar and is struggling to kill. The evening star in front of her chest is already dimmed and seems to be exhausted at any time.


    "Gimli! Gandalf! Legolas! Kill! Kill them!"


    Ryan''s sword chopped down one orc after another, but they were too many and almost completely blocked the way forward. He had to call the guard team...no, **** the members of the princess team.


    However, even if he broke his throat by shouting, no one came to support him!


    "Ryan!" Arwen shouted, who was trapped in the siege.


    Ryan? Why is she not calling Aragon?


    Despite killing dozens of half-orcs, Nasir''s holy sword did not bleed, and his image was clearly reflected on the smooth surface of the sword, with black hair and blue eyes, and no messy beard...


    He couldn''t help raising his head. The rising sun in the morning dispelled the boundless darkness, and a bright sun fell on the cheek of the elf princess, which was clearly a South African diamond.


    "Kill that woman!" An unusually familiar and icy voice suddenly sounded between heaven and earth.


    Countless orcs rushed towards the woman wielding a scimitar, with their big dirty mouths and sharp teeth, obviously not only going to kill her, but also to eat her!


    "Do not!"


    Ryan yelled and cut the two half-orcs into four with a single sword. However, he was like King Ilisa, with only mortal power, and he could kill countless enemies at a time.


    "George! George!"


    In desperation. Ryan remembered the Mr. Bodyguard who had been with him for many years and guarded him like a brother, "Quick! Come on! George! Save Charlie!"


    George never let him down, and never let him down, at this most urgent juncture. As if riding on a space-time teleporter, George descended from the sky with a team of bodyguards and aimed his weapon at the group of half-orcs!


    It''s just... it''s just... why are they wearing the uniforms of American soldiers, their weapons turned out to be m4a1!


    "Fire! Fire! Kill them all!"


    Following Ryan''s order, all the bodyguards pulled the trigger in their hands, amidst the sound of gunfire. Intensive bullets penetrated into the crowd of half-beasts, these dirty monsters produced by Sauron, faced with modern weapons, only had their lives on the street.


    Finally, with the help of modern weapons, Ryan made a **** road. Rushed to the elf princess'' side.


    "Arwen..."


    "Ryan!"


    "Oh, Charlie." Ryan hurriedly corrected the name he had shouted, and firmly guarded the beautiful diamond behind him.


    The guns in the hands of George and the others are like endless bullets. The magazines have never been replaced. The dense rain of bullets covered every inch of space outside of him and Charlize Theron. Many orcs'' corpses were powerfully affected. Bullets. Tear to pieces, piled up into a mountain of corpses.


    "I will protect you, no one can hurt you." Just after Ryan turned his head, an unusually cold, but familiar voice suddenly came from the world, "I, the person who is going to get rid of, no one can protect you. ."


    "Sauron!"


    "Son of Arazon, Aragorn, descendant of Elandil."


    The earth began to tremble. The sky suddenly turned into a strange golden red, a tall figure appeared not far from Ryan, but the golden red halo covered his true face, "Ryan Jenkins. Anyone of you." Can''t protect!"


    "Who are you! Show your face!" Ryan already felt that this person was definitely not Sauron.


    "Nasir''s holy sword, wherever my gaze is, turn it into pieces!"


    In the crisp and cold spell, Ryan felt that the long sword in his right hand was as hot as a red-hot soldering iron. Before he let go, the long sword suddenly cracked from the hilt and broke into countless debris.


    "She must leave! Otherwise, die!"


    "I will not leave¡­¡­"


    The crisp voice behind him hadn''t been fully spit out, and he was stunned. Charlize Theron''s eyes were protruding, his face flushed, and it seemed that an invisible big hand was strangling her throat.


    "Die or leave!" The cold voice was so familiar.


    Ryan couldn''t control that much anymore, turned his head and shouted at George and the others, "Fire! Fire! Kill him! Kill him!"


    An unexpected thing happened. George was the first to throw away the gun in his hand, and then all the bodyguards throw away the guns. They bowed their heads and were silent collectively, as if they had turned a blind eye to something in the past.


    What''s going on here? Ryan slowly turned his head back.


    "Do you really want them to kill me?" The cold voice became more and more familiar.


    "Who are you? Come on!"


    At this moment, Ryan realized that only he could not penetrate the halo.


    The golden-red halo suddenly exploded and turned into a splendid firework, with flowing curly hair wafting in the wind, its color is so eye-catching-red partial gold!


    "Are you really going to kill me? Do you really want to kill me?" The questioning voice became colder and colder.


    "No!" Ryan has never had a guilty conscience, "I won''t let anyone hurt you!"


    "What if you are the one who hurt me?"


    Ryan was silent, and the hand held flat by the tall figure slowly tightened, "It''s not just her, right?"


    Then, she waved her other hand from behind, and a beautiful figure, like when George and the others appeared, suddenly fell in front of Ryan.


    "Padme? Amidala." Ryan slapped his forehead hard, "Nat! Why are you here!"


    He rushed up quickly, trying to help the girl who had fallen in the pile of orc corpses, but he had just bent over and a clever laser gun was placed on his chest.


    "I want to kill you traitor!"


    The dying Charlize Theron, the Nicole Kidman who was possessed by God, and the Natalie Portman who was gnawing his teeth, Ryan suddenly understood one thing, there is always a side to the east wind and the west wind. To overwhelm the other party, did you treat them too much in the past?


    Men should be tougher! Ryan came up with this idea unconsciously, a powerful aura emanating from him, stirring up the sky, a kind of arrogant aura, filling every space within a few miles of miles, all Life looked at where he was and lowered his head.


    "my king!"


    I don''t know when, the three women suddenly knelt before him.


    "You..." Ryan''s eyes swept across their faces, and the three of them showed meek smiles. He nodded in satisfaction, "Now, go, lie over there..."


    He pointed to a flat stone nearby.


    "Yes!"


    It''s so simple, the tiger''s body is shocked, they dare to resist? Dare to have resentment? Ryan laughed, and walked over there, ready to...


    "What dream is this guy? Smiling so happily?"


    Turning over, Nicole pressed down on Ryan, with a bit of complaint in her words. She had already given him a deep kiss, but she didn''t expect this guy to be asleep.


    Stretching out two slender fingers, making gestures in front of her, Nico squeezed her nose against the towering nose in front of her, and the pair of sky blue eyes finally opened, still in confusion.


    "I want to recast the Sacred Sword of Nasir! Restore the honor that King Elisa deserves." The muttering voice passed into Nicole''s ears, and the Australian girl frowned, "Ryan! Ryan! Wake up," You are not in New Zealand, not in the cast of the Lord of the Rings!"


    The sky-blue eyes gradually came into focus. The first thing that caught Ryan''s eyes was Nicole''s complaining appearance. He was a little confused, but quickly returned to reality.


    "Good morning, dear." He kissed her forehead.


    "Dreaming? What dream?" Nicole kissed his lips back.


    Sweet dreams? It is indeed a beautiful dream!


    Ryan exhaled slowly. If reality could be like in dreams, it would be great.


    "Don''t you forget it so soon." Nicole tilted her head, seemingly curious.


    "My dear, don''t you think we should do something more meaningful?"


    Slowly stroking the beautiful back of the Australian girl with his hands, Ryan bit her ear with care, "I will make up for what I owed before."


    During the filming of "The Pianist" and in the following period, Nicole complained to him several times that the quality of **** life was severely degraded.


    "Really, my dear." With light blue eyes as attractive as the turquoise lake, Nicole got rid of Ryan''s entanglement, and two red lips slipped from his forehead. As good as yours."


    This is a serious challenge to a man¡¯s self-esteem. Ryan¡¯s big hand slipped to the bottom and rolled over and pressed Nicole underneath. "Nicole, a hard mouth will bring serious consequences. When you beg for mercy later, I won¡¯t I will let you go."


    Tightly pursing her lips Nicole''s eyes are full of mockery and provocation. She knows how to bring her the most enjoyment.


    Just like most of the time in the past few years, it didn''t take long for Nicole to hug Ryan tightly and stop him from moving any more, "Honey, I have no strength."


    "But I haven''t yet..." Ryan''s eyes flashed jokingly, but Nicole bit his ear and reminded, "What do you want to do? I don''t have the strength to get out of bed? Don''t forget, it''s back today. There is my premiere! Do you want me to be absent for the heroine?"


    "okay then."


    After kissing **** those two attractive red lips, Ryan jumped out of the big bed and walked towards the bathroom, "Aren''t we together, dear."


    "I don''t want the bathroom to become a second battlefield." Nicole''s eyes flashed, and finally resisted the steps he had already taken, and changed the direction, "I will also choose the right dress for you."

 Chapter 386： The Matrix

    For this premiere, Ryan completely handed over the initiative to the Weinstein brothers. He didn''t even leave the red carpet, and entered the front hall of the theater early.


    At the premiere, not only Hollywood celebrities, but also representatives of several ad placement companies, such as Motorola mobile phones, Apple computers, and Ray-Ban glasses.


    In addition, there are people from General Motors, and all car brands under General Motors are used in the movie.


    Unlike the previous Warner Bros. looking for sponsorships, after Jenkins Pictures released the news, many brands took the initiative to find them, and after FedEx and Wilson Sports Equipment were released in They gained great confidence and enthusiasm.


    Although Ryan is not in the movie, the heroine is his only family. Will Ryan Jenkins give the failed work to Nicole Kidman?


    The first film of "The Matrix" has not yet been released. The advertising revenue alone has recovered more than half of the production costs. As long as the first film can be a big success, these brands still want to appear in the next two films. Pay more money.


    These are the big customers who will pay in the future. The Weinstein brothers entered the theater early, chatting and laughing with them, and Ryan continued to greet the people who entered the theater. It was not until a long time later that Nicole took part in the movie. Keanu Reeves, his partner, walked in.


    "Keanu, thank you for your motorcycle." Ryan greeted him. The Neo''s actor, with a thick beard, waved to him, "You''re welcome."


    Just after the post-production of the film, Keanu Reeves used part of the salary he had already received to buy a heavy-duty Harley Prince motorcycle for the main members of the crew, including him and Nicole.


    Many people cannot understand the life and way of thinking of this Hollywood star. Of course, most Hollywood stars have quirks, and he is not the most prominent one.


    "Keanu''s sister got leukemia, and he donated a large sum of money to related medical institutions."


    Ryan and the two walked to the other side, because Nicole knew him better after filming together for a full year. "His girlfriend is said to be pregnant and is still taking drugs."


    "This is Keanu''s private matter." Ryan reminded.


    As far as he knows, the former Keanu Reeves was also a drug addict. It was not until his friend Revan Phoenix died of an overdose that he gradually quit the drug addiction.


    "Here. I''ll introduce a friend to you."


    Nicole pulled him, and the two walked up to a middle-aged actor, "Hi, Russell."


    "Hello, Nicole. Hello, Ryan."


    The other party stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "Russell Crowe, like Nicole, is from Australia."


    "It''s nice to meet you. Russell." Ryan shook his hand, knowing that this must be a member of the Australian Gang.


    In front of Ryan, Russell Crowe was not rumored to be arrogant, but rather humble. Because Nicole is one of the leaders of the Australian gang, Ryan is also very polite to him.


    The current time and place can only be said hello, because people keep walking in front of Ryan and Nicole. There are not a few people who even recommend themselves by talking about topics that are not nutritious.


    "Why do you remember to introduce him to me?" Ryan said of course Russell Crowe.


    "I recommended him to Nancy. If nothing else, Russell will be the actor of "Men 100%"." Nicole laughed and lowered her voice, "In order to avoid you being jealous in the future, let me introduce him to you first. ."


    "Am I so stingy?" Ryan also lowered his voice.


    "Narrow-minded, conservative-minded, over-possessive, and machismo." Nicole listed his crimes one by one, "Shall I tell them all?"


    "It looks like I''m useless." Ryan laughed at himself and asked, "Are you going to start working again?"


    "Hmm... I promised Nancy to be the heroine of "Man Hundred Percent"." She concealedly poked Ryan in the chest, "This is your script, macho."


    Nicole''s character is not suitable for ordinary life at all. Ryan knows this very well and didn''t say much, as long as she is happy anyway.


    In fact, Nancy Meyers originally decided that the male protagonist was Mel Gibson, but Ryan rejected it. His head was not sober, and God knew when he would be muddled. It would not take a few years. He will become a public enemy of Hollywood, and in the end, he can only make a b-level movie. Jenkins Pictures still has less trouble with him.


    As for Russell Crowe, although this movie is not as good as "Gladiator", how can it hold him in the forefront? There is also the "Beautiful Mind", which seems to be about a certain professor at Princeton University, what is it called? He can''t remember the name, he can find someone to look it up, maybe he can bring another actor out.


    "Hey, Ryan, what are you thinking about?"


    Leonardo DiCaprio¡¯s voice pulled Ryan¡¯s thoughts back. He looked around. Nicole was no longer there. He was probably going to a party. He immediately took a photo of Leonardo¡¯s arm. , Asked, "Where is your new girlfriend?"


    "Follow Nicole to socialize." He pointed his finger casually, and the two tall women were very conspicuous.


    "Didn''t you go out on location?" Ryan remembers, Baige? The filming of "Mission Impossible 2" directed by Wu has already begun.


    "Nicole sent me an invitation, can''t you stop coming?" Leonardo scratched his eyebrows. "By the way, come back for an audition."


    "Audition?" Ryan asked cooperatively, "Which movie?"


    "Ridley Scott." Leonardo laughed. "Your "Gladiator," Ryan, maybe we will be playing an opponent next year."


    "You?" Ryan deliberately hammered his slightly thin chest. "You are too thin."


    However, he frowned and thought about it, and said, "Well, Leon, as long as you can impress Ridley, it''s not a problem with me."


    If this guy plays well, he might be nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Even if he doesn''t play well, it won''t have much impact on him.


    As for Joaquin Phoenix, he has no friendship with him.


    Just like "The Lord of the Rings", the preparation of epic films is very troublesome. Ridley Scott signed the director contract. After the start-up funds of Jenkins Pictures arrived, he first determined the location. He originally wanted Shooting in the city of Rome, but was rejected by the city government of Rome, had to choose the location near London.


    Actors must also be recruited in advance, because they have to train in swordsmanship and riding skills for several months.


    Ryan didn¡¯t expect Leonardo to be interested in this movie. Probably, every time he starred in a movie, he would be nominated for several Oscars. It seems that after Xiao Li became a first-line superstar, he has more honors. Many pursuits.


    "Leon''s girlfriend is a smart man." Nicole whispered as he walked towards the theater. "I promised to get her a role in "Men 100%."


    "It''s fine for you to handle this kind of thing." It doesn''t hurt to include a **** and beautiful female model in a commercial movie.


    "The Matrix", the past life is considered to be a science fiction film rich in philosophy, and even every line, every scene is analyzed, and then we come to strange conclusions, some may even break the head of the Wachowski brothers. Have no idea.


    It is undeniable that this movie does have a lot of metaphors, and some lines seem to contain philosophies, but in the eyes of Ryan, this is a cool, interesting and profitable movie.


    In order to increase the refreshingness of the movie, when he was writing the script, he removed some ridiculous things, especially some of the latter two metaphors, like the kind of constant assumptions and constant self-overturning. Once the audience It will feel very novel, but the more times it will only make people feel bored.


    This movie highlights the coolness, the costumes of the actors, various props, virtual fights, Motorola flip phones, Ray-Ban sunglasses, all of which show the meaning of the word ¡®cool¡¯.


    Of course, looking at it from another perspective, it is also a master of the installation of ''13'' movies.


    "Cool!"


    "Awesome!"


    Such vocabulary is constantly uploaded from the position of the audience in the back row.


    "My dear, you are so sexy." Ryan''s eyes fell almost all on the heroine, and he whispered in Nicole''s ear, "Can you show it to me when you go back at night?"


    "I want to go home in the evening and go back to my own home." Nicole directly pushed him back.


    "It''s so disappointing." Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head.


    "Today is the premiere. If you want to be caught by paparazzi, I have no opinion."


    Nicole''s words undoubtedly hit Ryan''s vitals, he closed his mouth obediently, and his energy returned to the big screen.


    The movie has come to the coolest and most **** place-bullet timeThe word''cool'' has been used by the audience in the back row many times, and many people have almost never closed their open mouths. , This movie really caught a lot of people, especially young people¡¯s itches.


    As for the bullet time, this is not the original "The Matrix". Similar shots appeared in some movies in the 1980s, but there is no doubt that "The Matrix" thoroughly carried forward this film technology. In the future, many movies will definitely learn from it until it is used up badly.


    Hollywood will follow suit. The wonderful films it produces are based on a huge number of bad films.


    Then there is Kung Fu. No matter what kind of evaluation the action of this film will receive, after it, Kung Fu is bound to set off a new round of upsurge in Hollywood. Although there are many movies that use Kung Fu to benefit from it, this The stock trend lasted too short.


    Of course, because the trilogy was shot at the same time, there was enough suspense at the end of the movie, such as what is the mother body? There is also Zion, which is frequently mentioned by Morpheus and others. Where is this place, which is obviously the last place for mankind? (To be continued...)

 Chapter 387： Taylors conundrum

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "This is an epoch-making film with no one before and no one afterwards. It can be said that this film surpasses the traditional meaning. The concept of film, which has both visual impact and cultural, historical, philosophical, and religious connotations. It can be said to be a film that is both refined and popular. You can treat it as science fiction, action entertainment, or Think of it as a broad and profound work to understand and reflect on."


    The film reviews given by the "New York Times" can be said to be very representative, and most of the mainstream media have shown a praising attitude towards films.


    "The Matrix can be recorded in the annals of film history. There are few science fiction films comparable to it in history. Some films are very good but they have no depth. Some movies are very deep but not good-looking, and "The Matrix" is just The kind of movie that is both good-looking and thought-provoking."


    There are many comments like this.


    Compared with the praise received by the movie, the male and female protagonists-Keanu Reeves and Nicole Kidman, although the two are loved by the audience after the movie was released, they have almost become synonymous with the movie, but they are in acting. On the one hand, it was bombarded by film critics.


    "Look at the expressionless faces of the heroes and heroines in movies. I admit they are cool, but they will definitely become the biggest hot candidates for the Golden Raspberry Awards next year."


    As the original author, Ryan naturally received attention.


    "The novel "The Matrix" has been published for many years, and almost no one cares about it. It can be called one of Ryan''s most unsuccessful novels, but who would have thought that after he himself expanded the novel into a movie, he would show such a peculiar appearance. The world, the philosophy and ideas contained in it, is even worthy of our careful study, even if he is somewhat pessimistic about the future of technology."


    Although the film is highly praised by most film critics, its reputation among the audience shows a serious polarization, and those who like it love it to the extreme. People who don''t like it don''t even take it seriously. Of course, there are many more people who like it than people who don''t like it.


    On the first three days of the week, "The Matrix" won a box office of more than 50 million US dollars. Although it was much worse than the first week of nearly 100 million US dollars in "Star Wars Episode 1", it triggered a wave of popularity in North America.


    The cool and scumbag costumes of the heroes and heroines in the movie have become the target of many fans and young people to imitate.


    Even in the hot streets of Los Angeles, you can see many young people wearing black trench coats, wearing Ray-Ban sunglasses and using Motorola flip phones. They imitate Neo and Trinity in every move.


    Various manufacturers that have signed advertising contracts with the film. He almost smiled and cocked his mouth.


    Although the various analysis of the film on the Internet and the media has almost noisy, but after seeing the box office numbers of the first week, Ryan threw this series behind his head, as he said, an excellent screenwriter. With the director, only half or less will be said in the film in order to give the audience more room for reverie and the views they have come up with. I''m afraid I and the Wachowski brothers would be surprised when they watched them.


    From the moment the movie was released, the audience''s thoughts were beyond the control of the producer. There are a hundred Hamlets in a hundred people.


    Even if Ryan himself stepped up and ran to the Internet to post relevant comments, I am afraid that many fans will be refuted to speechless.


    "What is reality? What you see with your eyes is reality!"


    Under the palm grove of the manor, Ryan was sitting on a wicker chair. Said to Taylor, who had just played an etude, "Honey, that''s just a movie."


    then. He remembered that this was an R-rated film, and asked, "Alison, who took you to the movie?"


    Although Scott and Mrs. Andrea live in Beverly Hills, their neighbors are almost all Hollywood industry insiders, but they are not movie lovers.


    "Of course it''s me, is there a problem?"


    Nicole walked under the palm tree with a cold drink and fruit, and sat on another wicker chair, "Don''t worry, Taylor understands the difference between film and reality."


    "Yeah, I''m not a kid anymore."


    Taylor put her special practice guitar aside, retrieved the ice cream that Lisa specially made for her, swallowed a sip, and said dissatisfiedly, "I will be ten years old soon, and Ryan still treats me as a kid. Treating."


    After speaking, she ate a big mouthful of ice cream in a vented manner. She ate a little bit faster, but also a little too much. She immediately widened her royal blue eyes, spit out her tongue like a puppy, and panted heavily.


    "Cool... so cold..."


    Nicole quickly stood up, poured a glass of juice at room temperature, and gave her a sip, "Honey, if you continue to do this, there will be no ice cream to eat in the future."


    "Okay." Taylor drooped his head, looking very well-behaved.


    Ryan couldn''t help being a little strange. Although Tyler listened to Nicole very much, he was too clever, right? Also, her mood has been relatively low today, as if she has encountered some problems.


    "Alison..." He first looked at Nicole. The Australian girl shook her head slightly, and had to ask, "What happened? You don''t seem to be happy today."


    "When I came out of Warner Records today, I met that Stephanie Germanotta. She laughed at me as the longer I grew, the uglier..." The little girl was obviously a little lowered, and touched the baby''s fat face. "Actually ¡­Actually, I also discovered this. I am not as beautiful as before."


    "Because of this?" Ryan lay back in the chair.


    In fact, in his eyes, even Taylor when he was a child is cute at best, far away from being beautiful, and the little girl has begun to enter puberty, and her developing appearance will inevitably be a little out of shape.


    "Isn''t that enough?" Women, big or small, young and old, love beauty. Taylor''s eyes widened in an instant. "I will be a singer in the future, and there will be countless opportunities to perform on stage. If it''s not beautiful... "


    "Then be a strength faction." Ryan waved his hand indifferently.


    Taylor pursed his mouth, and the aggrieved ones seemed to cry at any time. Nicole pulled her to her side and held her in her arms to comfort her, "Okay, my dear, Ryan is just joking."


    "Ryan..."


    When the pale blue eyes swept over, Ryan stretched out his hand and rubbed Taylor''s curly hair. The little girl tilted her head and avoided, wrinkling her nose at him angrily.


    "Let''s put it this way, Alison." Ryan corrected his expression and said very seriously, "You have always claimed to be a senior in Hollywood..."


    "I didn''t claim to be, it was." Tyler winked at him deliberately.


    "Okay." Ryan didn''t bother to care about these words with her. "Then have you found a general rule in Hollywood child stars?"


    "Yes." The little girl said without hesitation. "When I grow up, I degenerate, just like my dear Drew."


    "Of course, you and Nat are exceptions." She added quickly.


    "I''m not talking about this." Ryan shook his head.


    "What the **** is that?"


    "My dear, didn''t you find out that the cute and beautiful child stars when they were young will become ugly when they grow up." Ryan said of the experiences of most Hollywood child stars, "and those very beautiful female stars, When I was young, I was not pretty, even ugly.


    "For example...little fat girl." Taylor''s eyes brightened, and then they turned into a frustrated look. "But, you and Nat haven''t become ugly."


    "Didn''t you say that, Nat and I are exceptions." Ryan''s face has always been thick.


    "You mean..." The little girl jumped out of Nicole''s arms, "I will be beautiful when I grow up?"


    It''s very beautiful, maybe it''s hard to talk about.


    Although thinking like this, Ryan would not say that, "I promise, my dear, when you grow up, you will be a beautiful lady with blond hair and blue eyes."


    "I''m going to grow taller." In the eyes of the little girl, what Ryan said seemed to be realized.


    "It''s okay to be taller than Nicole?" Ryan closed his eyes, but Taylor jumped to the chair and said loudly in his ear, "Six feet is good?"


    "If I can represent God." Ryan pushed her little head back and said to Nicole, "You play with her and I will sleep for a while."


    "Ryan, are you sure you want to do this?" Nicole asked without beginning and end, but Ryan understood what she meant, waved his hand at random, and said, "Nicole, I have asked to register Pirates of the Caribbean as Trademarks do not mean what we are going to do now. If Disney really wants to target us with Michael Eisner in the future, we will always have some means to fight back.


    Nicole was silent. She knew that in the past few years, Michael Eisner had used means in private, such as the free paparazzi, Ryan was planning a counterattack, or intercepting the opponent''s retreat.


    Lying on a wicker chair, Ryan is thinking with his eyes closed. American business is highly developed, and there has long been a mature professional manager system. In fact, his foundation and his company are also Adopted this kind of business model, and Michael Eisner may have shares in Disney in his hands, but it will definitely not be much.


    To put it bluntly, it is Walt Disney that he can rely on. Without Walt Disney, he would be just a rich senior professional manager.


    The best way to deal with such a person is definitely not to fight the entire Disney, but to oust him...


    However, Michael Eisner has developed Disney from a billion-dollar animation giant to a large media group with a market value of tens of billions of dollars. It has the support of many shareholders and directors. It is not easy for him to step down.


    In fact, in recent years, Disney¡¯s problems have faintly revealed. The animation department is not taken seriously, and there is a lack of powerful works in live-action movies. The acquired TV station has not turned a profit even now, and Michael? Power is in your hands, and the arbitrary tyrant style has aroused more and more people''s dissatisfaction.


    Ryan is not in a hurry, he is still young, and he has time.

 Chapter 388： Liberty Island

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please recommend the promotion to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum post it! After a short stay in Los Angeles, Ryan set foot on the land of New York, and now he has completely got rid of the identity of a student, All energy is transferred to work. One second to remember "" the hottest novel update is the fastest


    Although absent from the most important graduation ceremony, through various means and the invisible care of the University of Southern California, Ryan successfully obtained the graduation certificate of the University of Southern California Film Academy.


    "My college life hasn''t started yet. You have graduated." Natalie''s voice on the phone was emotional, "Ryan, why don''t you come to the Harvard School of Letters to continue your studies?"


    "Forget it, Nat."


    As early as last month, Ryan learned that Natalie had passed the Harvard application and would go to Cambridge starting in September. If nothing else, she would stay there for four years.


    "Don''t you want to become classmates with me?" The voice in the receiver was obviously temptation. "If you can apply for Harvard, we will rent a villa outside the school together. How about, Ryan?"


    This proposal is very tempting, and Ryan is also very excited, but if he really does this, it will be a dead end.


    "Nat, my time is very tight." Ryan didn''t want to dwell on this topic. "When will your publicity in the Far East end?"


    "It''s going to be a while, and we''ll leave Tokyo for South Korea after a while." Natalie seemed to think of something and giggled. "It''s the largest country in the universe!"


    Obviously, the Long Island girl still remembers that wonderful science fiction.


    "Let me think about it." Ryan echoed Natalie''s tone, "After the Star Wars Prequel is released, they will definitely have Queen Amidala of South Korean descent... Well, maybe there will be a beautiful Natalie. ? Sister Portman, who is also their descendant."


    "Ryan..." The voice over the phone suddenly became much lower.


    "What''s wrong. Nat?" Ryan also stopped these unnecessary jokes.


    "I miss you, Ryan." With Natalie''s character, she must miss him very much if she can say this.


    "I miss you too, Nat." Ryan leaned on the car seat.


    "How long have we not seen each other." Natalie seemed to be talking to herself. "Sometimes I wake up in the morning, I wish I was not holding a pillow but you, I really want to be able to..."


    After the call heard the disconnection sound, Ryan was silent for a long time, and suddenly said to George on the first officer, "Notify the crew. Apply for a route to Seoul as soon as possible."


    Then he said to the driver, "Don''t go to the villa on Long Island, let''s go directly to the location on Liberty Island!"


    Liberty Island is an island outside the New York Harbor. Although it is not inhabited by anyone, it is world-famous. Because on the island stands the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of the free world!


    Like most sci-fi movies, the Big Apple is the city of choice for destruction and salvation. The main battlefield of "X-Men" is also located here. At present, the crew has concentrated many actors on the Liberty Island.


    After Ryan greeted director Brian Singer, he quickly approached Stan Lee. The old man was very enthusiastic about filming the movie. According to reports, the crew will come every few days to communicate with the actor director. After hearing the news that he came here today, he ran as soon as possible.


    Stan Lee took Ryan, like countless green dollar bills, "Hey, Ryan."


    "Hello, Stan." Ryan shook his hand, jokingly, "Is there anything happy? You can come out and share it."


    "I''m not happy to talk about it, but since you agreed to issue an additional $40 million in stocks, then "Spiderman"..." Stan Lee reiterated the old saying that he really likes his children very much. Agreement. Five percent of the movie''s profit will belong to him. ""Blade Warrior" has proved that our superhero will be popular on the big screen as well."


    "Don''t worry, Stan, didn''t I ask you to prepare the script?"


    Ryan knew that the success of "Blade Warrior" made Marvel executives believe that they had sufficient confidence in their comics. This film was originally aimed at comics fans, and now it has earned nearly 300 million US dollars in the global box office, even if not calculated. Derivatives can achieve profits of more than tens of millions of dollars at the box office alone.


    As for the additional US$40 million in shares, most of them fell into his own hands, except for a few subscribed by surprised executives and employees.


    The more Marvel shares he holds, the more confident he will be when facing Disney in the future.


    "Shhh... it''s about to start shooting." Stan Lee raised his index finger to his mouth.


    Nodded, Ryan headed to the set. Now it was shooting a fight scene between Wolverine and Devil Girl. He observed for a while and found that the shooting process was extremely unsuccessful.


    Wolverine is okay. His plastic paws are tightly attached to his hands with silicone. Hugh Jackman pays great attention to it when fighting, and it rarely comes off or skewed.


    But Rebecca Romijn, who plays the role of the Witch, is different. She has more than 100 pieces of silicone that resemble muscle tissue on her body. When she moves slightly, there will be silicone flying out and blue food coloring sprayed on the silicone. Will it be tricky? Jackman''s leather costume.


    "It''s not bad."


    When the filming stopped on the set, Charlize Theron¡¯s voice came from behind Ryan, ¡°The last time I filmed the fight between Wolverine and the Magic Girl, Rebecca vomited a bunch of blue things. Hugh."


    "Charlie." Ryan nodded to her and found Stan? Old man Li didn''t know when he had already left.


    "Are you finally willing to come to me?"


    Charlize Theron stepped forward and took his arm. Ryan subconsciously took it back. The South African Diamond drew his hand back very cleverly and deliberately asked, "Do I need to keep a distance from you?"


    "Charlie!" Ryan glared at her, Charlize Theron smiled like a spring breeze, "How long in New York?"


    "Probably..." Ryan hesitated and said, "I''m leaving at night, I''m in a hurry."


    He revisited Charlize Theron''s casual clothes and asked, "Don''t have your role today?"


    "Mine has been filmed." Charlize replied with joy after seeing Wolverine and the witch who are still being tortured by the props, "Jin Gray''s ability depends on post-production, and my scenes are easy to shoot."


    Without her, Ryan also understands that Phoenix Girl is good at telepathy and mental power, which are difficult to directly reflect in the shooting.


    "Why are you leaving so soon? When I called you yesterday, didn''t you want to stay here for a few days?" Charlize Theron''s tone and expression, with just the right complaint, would not make people Disgust can make people feel guilty.


    "I have urgent business to go to the Far East." Ryan''s eyes moved to the Statue of Liberty, "Sorry, Charlie."


    "It''s okay, Ryan." Charlize Theron smiled understandingly, "I know, you have a lot of work to deal with, I will go back to New Zealand after filming this scene, you will wait for me over there, right? ?"


    "I... promise!" Ryan nodded heavily.


    The two of them are like ordinary friends, standing quietly opposite the Statue of Liberty, not too far away, looking at the busyness of the set, Charlize Theron¡¯s eyes will occasionally turn from Ryan. Probably because of her childhood experience, she is well prepared for love. Standing next to her are some of the top figures in Hollywood. She knows what means to use to fully grasp his heart.


    Hollywood never lacks drunken fans. Those slutty bed partners can easily find a lot of powerful people, and a person who lacks family affection since childhood must be considerate and warm.


    Charlize Theron felt that she and Ryan were of the same kind in a sense, and both experienced the darkest period of life in their childhood.


    Maybe it is God''s will to meet him? Charlize never denies that she has other purposes for approaching Ryan, nor does she deny that in the end the two can get together because of their true feelings.


    Seeing that the crew had paused filming, Charlize Theron asked next to him, "Do you need me to go over and introduce you?"


    Ryan did not answer, and made a please gesture.


    Although "X-Men" did not invite Hollywood superstars, most of the main roles are old faces in the circle, except for the previous Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Romen, and Patrick Stewart who did not come today. In addition to Ian McLean, Harry Berry and director Brian Singer, who played the role of Storm Girl, had met Ryan before, but simply greeted them.


    However, I also met an acquaintance whom I hadn''t seen for a long time.


    "Ryan, don''t you know me?" The actress who played the naughty walked up to him.


    "Catherine Isabel." How could Ryan forget the actress who was tossed to death by James Cameron in "True Lies", "Hello, Kate, I haven''t seen you in a few years."


    In his impression, after he recommended her to appear in "Game of the Brave", the Canadian actress developed smoothly.


    "Your childhood friend?"


    After most of the people walked away, Charlize Theron walked over from the director, "I remember she appeared in a lot of movies about you."


    "James Cameron''s relative." Ryan explained casually.


    Charlize nodded. She understood that the human relationship within the rules can sometimes play a huge role. After she rolled her eyes, she suddenly said, "Originally, the crew thought that the most suitable role for this role was Natalie..."


    "She refused, right?"


    Just after Ryan was finished, George walked over with the mobile phone that just hung up, "Ryan, the plane is ready."


    Nodded, Ryan sighed, "Let''s do this today, Charlie, we will talk more about it when you go to New Zealand." Your support from Dingtianju dtxsj is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please read the first an.

 Chapter 389： Seoul

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! Rubbing her forehead lightly, Natalie dragged her tired body, walked out of the elevator, and opened the door of her suite Later, I wanted to just fall asleep on the sofa like this. I was really tired today.


    Because she didn''t participate in the premiere, several people in charge of the crew inevitably complained to her. Although she didn''t want to say anything for Ryan''s sake, Natalie was sensitive, and these changes could not be hidden from her.


    After passing the Harvard test, she returned to the crew. The intensive publicity journey traveled through Europe and then to the Far East. Just off the plane today, the entire crew went to the largest theater in Seoul after a simple make-up at the hotel. , And her heroine is undoubtedly the focus of reporters and fans.


    The largest country in the universe? Natalie shook her head and smiled. The people of this superpower are far more crazy in chasing stars than North America, and they are not inferior to those in Tokyo.


    Supporting her body, Natalie walked towards the bathroom, even if she wanted to rest, she had to take a bath first.


    If Ryan should be so good here, he can comfortably nest in his arms, without thinking about anything, doing nothing, and worrying about nothing, even if it¡¯s a bath, he will hold himself in. In the bathroom, carefully scrub every inch of skin for yourself.


    In the evening, you can also hug and have a sweet dream. Although there are some people, it is more comfortable than a pillow.


    Also, his fingers can''t be compared to him...


    Damn it! Natalie bit her lower lip and warned from the bottom of her heart, Nat! what are you thinking about!


    The warm water splashed on the skin, like a lover''s hand slowly stroking, Natalie pinched her eyebrows, feeling much better, as long as she goes to the bedroom to make up for a sleep, she will definitely be able to recover tomorrow.


    Throughout the promotion journey, she worked very hard, she didn''t want others to misunderstand. I thought that by virtue of his relationship with Ryan and George Lucas, she became a proud girl who didn''t know the so-called. Even though she was very proud in her heart, this pride was based on her own talents and abilities, not others.


    She is Natalie Portman, and what she is going to do is Natalie Portman, she will not be an accessory of anyone.


    After drying her hair, Natalie wrapped her pajamas, sat on the sofa, and took out a thin script from her bag. This is her birthday, Ryan made a special trip to send people over, and it is her birthday present this year.


    Opening the script, first of all, it was a sketch drawing with her as the blueprint. Natalie first showed a sweet smile, and then shook her head, because the level of the drawing was a bit horrible.


    That guy¡¯s level of painting was not high at first, but in recent years it has plummeted. Is he still himself in the painting?


    Ok. She is the heroine of this script, a tenacious girl who is like a weed that can never die.


    Frankly speaking, she felt that this script, the only seventeen-year-old heroine, suits her too well. She even suspects that Ryan used her character as a blueprint to write a story with a little hope in such cold despair.


    He wrote it for himself! It''s like an adaptation of "Eileen Brockovich" for Nicole Kidman.


    Natalie is confident, she believes this is Ryan''s tailor-made work for herself! Natalie is proud, she is suspicious of Hollywood''s right-age actresses. Except for himself, few people can play this role well! Natalie is independent again, not as a last resort. She didn''t want to walk on the red carpet through the works of her lovers.


    Turning to the last page of the script and looking at the extremely familiar handwriting on it, Natalie was in a daze. Ryan knew him, he only sent the script over, so it was all up to her whether it was necessary or not.


    He even wrote that if she doesn''t use it, she will write this script as a novel and publish it, and she will never make it into a movie in the future.


    Even though her heart is full of pride, Natalie is still very touched, such a script, such a unique role, she believes that many Hollywood actresses who have ideas will pay a considerable price to get it!


    "My Nat is unique!"


    I don''t know why, Natalie remembered what Ryan said often. Perhaps her persistence and independence were not as important as she thought?


    Slowly raising her arms, Natalie held the script tightly and pressed it to her heart, as if she was holding a lover thousands of miles away.


    Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Natalie frowned. Who will come at this late hour? Is it Liam Neeson or Ivan McGregor? Or George Lucas?


    The latter has been playing Ryan''s idea, wanting him to participate in the promotion for a short time, so as to use his reputation to build momentum for the film in the Far East, where the Star Wars culture is almost non-existent.


    Just like Ryan would not interfere with her career too much, Natalie would not interfere with Ryan''s decision. She had never persuaded Ryan at all.


    "Who?" Natalie walked to the door and asked. There was no cat''s eye on the door of the suite.


    No one answered. The door was still knocking softly. Natalie heard the short questioning of her bodyguard, followed by the sound of the door closing back next door.


    The person who can make the bodyguard go back to the room obediently and no longer bother, must be an acquaintance.


    Natalie opened the door without hesitation, and then she was taken aback when she saw the person she had been thinking about just now.


    "Nate, this is not a way of hospitality." Ryan flicked affectionately on the girl''s forehead, "Hurry up and let me in, don''t you want others to see it?"


    "Why are you here?" Natalie hurriedly opened the door and dragged Ryan in. "Why are you here?"


    "Didn''t you say you wanted to see me? So I came." Ryan smiled and spread his hands. "Don''t you welcome me, Nat?"


    Although this guy¡¯s behavior is very old-fashioned, so old-fashioned that there is nothing new, Natalie still feels sweet. She bit her lower lip hard and rushed forward, her arms wrapped around Ryan¡¯s neck hard. The whole person is like a koala, hanging firmly on his body.


    "Nate..."


    Before Ryan had finished speaking, the Long Island girl¡¯s two soft lips were pressed against him, and her small flexible tongue broke through all obstacles in a fierce way like never before. .


    The two people''s tongues are entangled tightly, even if their teeth hit their teeth, even if their cheeks are flushed, even if their mouths are numb, they are reluctant to separate even the slightest bit.


    At this moment, they forgot the time, the place, and even the whole world.


    He only knew that the opposite of him was Natalie, the person he had liked for two lifetimes, and that he was an indispensable part of his life.


    She only remembered the Ryan Jenkins she was holding. She grew up with her since she was a child. She was the one who dared to stand in front of the gun and protect her with her life. She was also the first person she fell in love with. People walking hand in hand.


    The four red and swollen lips finally parted, and a pair of sky blue eyes and a pair of brown eyes were tightly entwined together. Even if their breath was blown on each other''s cheeks, they refused to close their eyelids. .


    Slowly, Ryan used his forehead to press Natalie''s forehead, just like when the two were fighting bulls when they were young, but without the sharpness of the past, all that was left was intimacy.


    They laughed at the same time, their smiles were extremely sweet, and they touched each other''s lips with their own lips, and then they sat on the sofa with their arms.


    "You just got off the plane?" Natalie pressed tightly to Ryan''s chest, as if she didn''t want to separate for a moment.


    "After I talked with you, I asked the crew to contact the airline and fly over from New York." Ryan lowered his head and kissed Natalie''s cheek. "Find the hotel where the crew is staying, find your room, for me It''s all easy, isn''t it?"


    Natalie pressed her forehead against his chest, sat up straight, and asked, "Have you had dinner? I called for supper."


    "Yeah~~ I''m a bit hungry." Ryan touched his stomach and told Natalie who picked up the phone, "I don''t eat South Korean kimchi."


    "This is the Hilton Hotel." Natalie gave him a deliberate look. "Steak or spaghetti?"


    "Steak, old rules." Ryan simply slumped on the sofa.


    The light of his eyes happened to catch the script that Natalie put aside, and he shook his head, but didn''t mean to open it. It didn''t matter whether Natalie played or not, as long as she was happy.


    If it wasn''t for the current social environment and Natalie''s own problems, Ryan would still want to copy "Black Swan".


    Two black pepper steaks and a few desserts were delivered quickly. Ryan and Natalie were too lazy to enter the restaurant, sitting in front of the sofa, brandishing a knife and enjoying supper, but their respective foods were mostly delivered to each other¡¯s mouths. Many of them fell on the floor while playing.


    In other words, is far less eaten than wasted.


    "You know, Ryan, when I was in Tokyo, there were a few girls who surrounded me." Natalie said of some funny anecdotes that she had encountered in publicity, "They asked me if I was really your best friend. After I nodded, they each stuffed a letter to me, asking me to help forward it to you, and one threatened me that if you didn¡¯t reply, she would definitely commit suicide on the Tokyo Tower."


    "Then... letter?" Ryan came interested.


    "I turned around and threw it in the trash can." Natalie snorted. "I will help other women pass the courtship letter to my boyfriend? Am I that stupid?"


    "Well, my Nat is the smartest." Ryan had no choice but to cooperate, and Natalie showed her pointed chin. "It''s also unique."


    Tomorrow Natalie will also participate in the promotional activities arranged by the crew. Ryan simply took a shower and lay in the bedroom holding Natalie from behind. The two enjoyed the rare warmth and tranquility, although they were close to each other. At the same time, but there is no too impulsive sex, without saying a word, just hugging so quietly, until I fell asleep.

 Chapter 390： 1 veto

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group


    The long brown curly hair covered Ryan''s entire chest. He looked condescendingly. Although the Long Island girl was not so pretty, she was as cute as she was when she was a child, with thick eyebrows and a slightly rough face with unique lines. It belongs to Natalie Portman''s style, even the small moles on the left and right cheeks are unique.


    This is his Nat.


    Ryan''s hand gently stroked the curly hair of the Long Island girl. In this world, no matter who it is, there are unrealistic fantasy or extravagant expectations, but how many can be achieved?


    "Ryan, what time is it." Natalie woke up and turned around and asked dazedly.


    "It''s still early, let''s go to sleep." Ryan kissed her forehead, the Long Island girl''s eyelashes flickered a few times, and finally opened her eyes, looked at the wall clock on the wall, and struck again. After yawning, he said, "You will become a lazy pig if you sleep again."


    "My dear, if all the pigs are as cute as you, they won''t become dining tables..."


    Before he could finish his words, Natalie''s hand had slipped, and she squeezed hard in a towering position. Ryan couldn''t help but screamed exaggeratedly, "Dear Nat, you want to murder ?"


    "Did I do anything?" Natalie covered her mouth and snickered, curled her index finger and flicked again, "It shouldn''t be broken, right?"


    "Is it?" Ryan suddenly turned over and forced Natalie underneath. "It''s not broken, you have to try it before you know."


    Talking. He pressed Natalie''s two arms on top of his head with one hand, and quickly found the straps on the girl''s pajamas with the other hand. His slender fingers wrapped around a few times flexibly, and the pajamas fell to the knee.


    "Let go of me, Ryan." Natalie twisted and struggled, shaking off her pajamas from her leg. "You hurt me."


    "Sorry, Nat." Ryan quickly let go, returning her hands free, "My Nat is too tempting."


    Untie the cotton pajamas on the girl''s upper body. Ryan slowly stroked every inch of her skin. Although the thin Natalie''s chest was not big, it was unusually strong. When he kissed it, the Long Island girl''s body shivered slightly.


    Raising the hand that had been moving at the bottom, Ryan suddenly laughed, and put her crystal finger in front of the girl like a joke, "Nate..."


    "Ryan!" Natalie''s eyes stared, if it weren''t for Ryan''s crush. At this time, he will definitely bite him viciously, "I won''t let you go, Ryan!"


    "Oh, oh. Dear Nat is angry." Naturally, Ryan knew that Natalie was not really angry, and touched her soft chest with her forehead affectionately. "This shows that you need it, Nat. "


    Natalie closed her eyes suddenly. Hugging Ryan''s neck tightly, he didn''t say a word, only the tune humming between his mouth and nose. It shows that she is in excitement.


    The following day, Natalie was still busy, Ryan quickly sent her to the clouds, and after holding her for a hot bath, called George to ask for breakfast.


    "When are you going back?" Natalie asked with a sip of cereal.


    "When do you want me to go back." Ryan blinked at her mischievously.


    "Whatever you do." Natalie obviously just crossed the river and demolished the bridge, she waved her hand at will, "You know, Ryan, I still have to work, I don''t have time to play with you, and..."


    The Long Island girl hesitated and said, "If you let other people on the crew see you, they will guess something if you don''t know, I...I''m not ready yet."


    "Okay." Ryan nodded, he didn''t want to cause trouble, "I will leave after you leave."


    "Where to go?" Natalie asked concerned, "Will you go back to New York?"


    "No." Ryan shook his head, "I''m going to London."


    "Harry Potter?"


    "Hmm, the actor audition has entered the final stage." Ryan made a gesture that you understand, "There are many things that require me to decide."


    After more than half a year and eight rounds of auditions, this sensational audition for actors in England and the entire Western world is finally coming to an end.


    The business jet left the capital of the largest country in the universe and embarked on a flight to London.


    Taking advantage of this flight time, Ryan was handling various related affairs. As he officially graduated, many of the jobs Nicole had managed were handed over by her.


    IT stocks are still hot and crazy, and there is no sign of collapse. After financing, Jerry Yang paid off the remaining balance, and Cisco¡¯s board of directors officially signed the transfer agreement, and Scott released it in a planned way. With the small amount of shares in companies such as Microsoft, everything went smoothly.


    Taking stocks early, although it will inevitably bring some losses, is the safest way. After all, no one knows the time of the stock market crash. The kind of stocks that change hands for hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars before the crash. The practice can only exist in fantasy. ,


    Ryan asked Scott to invest in Walt Disney¡¯s part of the recovered funds. The trust fund controlled by Scott through various means has contacted several Disney¡¯s minority shareholders and acquired them at a premium. When it comes to a small amount of shares, it''s just too small, plus the amount it got from Time Warner, which is less than 5%.


    Even so, Ryan asked Scott to split these shares under several trust funds.


    There is also Google. After several months of negotiations with Scott, this small company, short of funds and not well-known, accepted the capital injection from the foundation under the name of Ryan, for which they took out 3%. Ten shares, and Google really wants to develop, it is bound to raise funds in the future...


    Then there are several film and animation companies under his name.


    Pixar Studio is the most reassuring, "Bug Crisis" has achieved great success, and the production of "Toy Story 2" has entered the final stage. It will definitely catch up with this year''s Thanksgiving Christmas file. The production of "Monster Electric Company" is also smooth. Pixar is on a more successful development path than in previous lives.


    Blue Sky Studio is currently fully committed to the "Ice Age" project, and for this reason even rejected some special effects contracts for movies.


    Jenkins Pictures¡¯ major productions this year are obviously a lot less than last year, but the already released "American Pie" and "Scream" and other bad and vulgar production series, the North American box office alone exceeded 100 million US dollars, which will definitely bring Enough income.


    In the next two months, "The Mummy" and "Reaper is Coming" will be released one after another.


    The most important movie in the summer is "The Matrix", this cool movie, with a good reputation, maintained a fairly stable box office number, and won more than 40 million US dollars in the box office in the second week, plus In the third week that has just begun, the North American box office has exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. With the current development momentum, the North American box office should eventually easily exceed 200 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office surpassing 500 million U.S. dollars is not a big problem.


    For the Oscars, Hollywood has a tradition, that is, the actor who gets the best actress will be unlucky for at least three years after that. This is almost a common phenomenon.


    And the success of this series is enough to let Nicole get rid of these inexplicable curses.


    The most successful movie this year is "Star Wars Episode 1". Although countless people spit on it, when the movie was down, it took more than 400 million US dollars in the box office in North America, and several starring actors were among them. The ranks of Hollywood stars.


    Especially Natalie, as she often complains, she used to be known, more because of Matilda and Ryan¡¯s friends, and Queen Amidala, completely famous in the United States, and Her performance in the film also deserves the praise given by the public.


    It''s just that she likes it or not, even Ryan can''t guess.


    If there is no accident, George Lucas¡¯s film is almost booked for the throne of this year¡¯s North American box office chart.


    In the past, the movies Ryan starred in were the most powerful contenders for this position, and his movie this year wants to make a difference at the box office, unless all the people living in this land of North America are Jews.


    I don¡¯t know if it was inspired by the filming of the "The Matrix" trilogy, or George? Lucas originally had this idea. He planned to film the next two parts together. Fortunately, the time has not yet been determined, otherwise Ryan will not. Don''t be crazy.


    The New Zealand fat man called again a few days ago, urging him to return to the crew as soon as possible. After the trip to London, Ryan planned to fly directly to New Zealand. After all, letting the director wait for an actor is not a splendor. Thing, even if he is the investor and producer of the movie.


    When he came to the Hilton Hotel where the crew stayed, the first thing Ryan saw was Taylor¡¯s curious, royal blue eyes. He couldn''t help but feel a little strange. Why did this little guy come to London again? Could it be Nicole?


    "Don''t look at me with such strange eyes." The little girl jumped in front of him, wrinkled her nose and said, "Nicole went to the crew to report, and Aunt Julis brought me and the tomboy over."


    "Hello, Christine." Ryan greeted the tomboy from the Stewart family and asked Taylor, "What are you doing as a crew?"


    "Don''t forget, Ryan." Tyler lifted his small chin. "Hermione Granger is my favorite. I always want to see which lucky little girl can get this role, right? Yes, I want to have the right to vote!"


    "Voting rights?" Ryan curled his lips.


    "Yes!" The little girl nodded emphatically, "I want a veto."

 Chapter 391： The focus of the British 3 islands

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! The Ninth Studio, located in the suburbs of London, has attracted a lot of attention in the past six months or so. , North America and Fleet Street, where all the media that can be named, have dedicated reporters and paparazzi stationed here to convey the latest news of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" to all parts of the world at the fastest speed .


    Just today, the media finally ushered in the long-awaited moment. After eight rounds of auditions, the actor audition has entered the final round, including Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Luo. En Weasley and other actor candidates including the Gryffindor Golden Triangle will be released soon.


    "It''s okay to enter the audition room, but..."


    In the office area on the set, Ryan is warning the two little guys, "Only watch, not talk. From now on you are the eggs that can''t speak."


    "Yeah~"


    Kristen Stewart immediately covered her mouth and nodded desperately. Taylor didn''t have this kind of awareness. She pouted and pointed to distinguish between herself and Christine, "Is there such a cute egg in this world? Ryan Don¡¯t forget, I have a veto."


    "My dear, don''t forget, I never promised you." Ryan rubbed her curly hair. Do you think you are the top five rogue nations of the United Nations?


    This is a movie involving hundreds of millions of dollars in investment. Where can Ryan let this naughty little guy mess around, warning, "Alison, if you are not obedient, I can only send you back to the hotel."


    "Okay." The little girl also covered her mouth and followed Ryan into the audition room.


    The person who presided over the audition is still Chris Columbus, in fact. After the third round of auditions, he found the right candidate. It also communicated with Ryan, and reached a consensus on the vast majority of candidates. The audition can continue to the present, and it is more for hype and propaganda. Those candidates who are matched by them will naturally be sent to the final list. .


    In this series, acting skills are not important.


    Ryan pointed to the two little girls, and Tyler and Christine nodded tacitly. Obediently sat at the back of the camera.


    After taking the list of actors, Ryan sat next to them. Professionals are naturally responsible for professional matters. He is only responsible for making the final decisions.


    Eyes swept across the list, many of the names were quite familiar, and with the attached photos, Ryan vaguely remembered their appearance in their previous lives. And the people and names that make him impressed up to now are definitely the most important little actors.


    For example, Emma Watson, this little girl has been unanimously recognized by the crew, and can be regarded as the candidate for Hermione Granger who has the least suspense and disputes.


    For example, Daniel Radcliffe, he is the person Chris Columbus specifically finds, although the opponent will definitely become disabled in the future. Moreover, the performances in the last few films have been bombarded by the media, but they are still recognized by Ryan. Since there are successful experiences in previous lives, why take unnecessary risks?


    Those little actors came in one by one. After a short stay, they went out one by one. Compared to professional auditions in Hollywood, Chris Columbus is much faster.


    In fact, not only the crew, but even the agents of these little actors can guess that the right candidates have been determined long ago. The auditions for the next few rounds are all in motion, but they are still willing to cooperate with the crew as long as they appear in the sea. If they choose one day, they can get a high degree of attention, which is the focus of the British Isles, and it will not do any harm to the future.


    "Is this the Hermione Granger you identified?"


    When the little girl in the Gryffindor uniform stood in front of the camera, Taylor still did not hold back, lying next to Ryan¡¯s ears, lowered her voice and said, "The teeth are not good, and there are freckles, which are more cute than me. Then a little bit."


    "Alison." Christine leaned over, "I think she is more prettier than you."


    "Kristen, why do you always love to be a traitor?" Tyler couldn''t help but glared at her.


    "You two, shut up for me." When Ryan''s eyes swept over, the two little guys quickly covered their mouths.


    This kind of audition will be very interesting the first time, but after watching too much, only boring is left. The two little guys stayed for a short time, so they found a chance to run out, and George arranged a bodyguard to follow them, Rui Well, I don''t worry that they will make trouble.


    The final round of auditions lasted for two days. The reporters gathered at the entrance of the studio also jumped up and down for two days. Everyone who participated in the final round of auditions, especially the candidates of the Gryffindor Golden Triangle, became the focus of media attention. Many people don''t even have the most basic works, and their names resounded through the British Isles.


    Of course, they have been up for generations, and they were also put in front of the public by the paparazzi on Fleet Street.


    However, this is a great opportunity for hype for those who want to develop in the entertainment industry.


    Every day, the hottest and most suitable candidates in the newspapers change, and their decisive tone is as if they have been personally instructed by Ryan.


    By the same token, the newspapers that published news about "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" almost all sold out, and the British media industry seemed to usher in spring.


    Ryan and Chris Columbus, Michael Barnason, and Julis Stewart quickly reached an agreement on the issue of candidates, rented the largest banquet hall of the London Hilton Hotel, and held a huge press conference. .


    "Everyone, don''t be nervous."


    In the largest lounge at the back of the banquet hall, Julis showed a woman¡¯s unique affinity and was telling a group of young actors, ¡°If you encounter any difficulties, just say you don¡¯t know, or you can refer the problem to me and Director Columbus. ,do you understand?"


    "Yeah~" Many people nodded.


    "Well, everyone rest first. I will call everyone before going out." Julis pointed around, "I suggest you get acquainted with it first. In the next ten years, you may all work together."


    "Ten years, it''s a long time." Kristen looked at his mother and shook his fingers to calculate how long ten years were.


    Taylor, who was also sitting in the corner, asked Ryan next to him, "Do you plan to shoot this series for ten years?"


    "It''s at least ten years."


    Ryan had just finished speaking and found that after Julis had left, the little actors gathered around and said quickly, "Okay, everyone, be quiet, we''ve seen it many times, don''t you need to be so excited?"


    "But you are Ryanye." I don''t know who shouted such a sentence.


    "Okay, stop." Facing these children crowded around, Ryan had to stand up, "We will continue to cooperate for a long time in the future, and you..."


    He cast a look at Taylor, and the little girl yelled in a tacit understanding, "Hey, hello, hello, you are big stars from now on, you are no longer kiddies, you must have the consciousness of being a star, OK? ?"


    "Do you know what the showbiz is like? Do you know what''s going on in Hollywood? Do you need me to teach you a lesson?" What a good teacher said is Taylor now.


    If she tells the Hollywood she knows, she will definitely frighten these little guys.


    "Who are you?" A little girl curled a corner of her mouth.


    "It''s not Hermione Granger anyway." Taylor wrinkled his nose at her and sat back in the chair. "I know your name is Emma Watson."


    "Dear Miss Hermione..." She looked at the little girl.


    "My name is Emma or Charlotte." The little girl interrupted her, and Taylor stuck out her tongue mischievously, saying something he had eavesdropped on, "Well, Miss Emma, ??wait. After Lee Potter was released, everyone would only call you Hermione Granger, not Emma Watson."


    "I won''t come."


    "Absolutely!" Tyler turned his head and winked at Ryan.


    No one cares about the blonde curly hair. These little actors are not her or Christine. They have been playing big in the movie company and Hollywood circles since they were young. Although they didn¡¯t understand some things very well, they had some vague concepts. Coupled with some words overheard, we can always make up some deceptive myths.


    Of course, only Ryan knows that the Harry Potter series will make this group of people, and it will also limit this group of people. After they star in a few movies, they want to transform, and the difficulty is simply hell-level.


    There were also their agents or relatives in the rest room. They quickly persuaded these troublesome little actors. Only Emma Watson stayed. She still remembers what Ryan said to her. I have also vaguely heard from the agent that he is the first person to be determined among all people, and I am afraid that all of this is inseparable from Ryan.


    "Hello, Ryan." The girl made an English lady politely, "I''m Emma Watson."


    "I still remember you, Miss Emma." Ryan nodded friendly, and he always valued those who can create great value for himself.


    The girl was as smart as the rumors, she quickly turned to Ryan and stretched out her little hand, "Hello, this is Emma? Charlotte? Watson, you call me Emma~www. novelhall.com~Well, Miss Emma."


    In front of outsiders, Taylor also showed his proper education, and his etiquette was not worse than that of the other party. "I am Taylor Alison Swift, you can call me Taylor."


    "Hello, I''m Kristen Jermes Stewart, you can call me Kristen." She also grew up in Hollywood''s upper class, and she didn''t know how to stage fright.


    Ryan looked at the polite girls and couldn''t help but squeeze his chin. In this way, three girls who had almost nothing to do with each other in their previous lives got together when they were less than ten years old, and it was not very interesting to explore Hollywood childishly. Something?


    The three girls talked a few words, and the atmosphere was not bad. There was no tit-for-tat between the two girls who Ryan imagined being too smart, but it is true that Taylor has always performed very well when facing outsiders, just like a real The same as the little lady.


    Only in front of her relatives and close friends, or people she hates, will she show her lawless side.

 Chapter 392： Senior person

    When facing minors, even if the British paparazzi are crazy, they will constrain a little. After asking a few simple questions, they set the target on Ryan.


    "Mr. Jenkins, we found that many young actors have no acting experience before. How can you be sure that they are the best in the same age group?" a reporter asked.


    "I never said to choose the best, but I believe they are the most suitable." Ryan said remindingly, "I said before the audition officially started, if I think he or she is Harry, It''s Hermione, then they are the most suitable candidates, otherwise I don''t want the best people."


    "Before it was reported that you had long been interested in Miss Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, did she pass the audition later?" Entertainment reporters never mind looking at the world in the worst way .


    "In my heart, she is Hermione Granger." I am afraid that any Harry Potter fan in the previous life would have the same opinion. Ryan raised his eyebrows. "She is the best of all girls. It is also the most suitable, in this respect..."


    He pointed to himself, "I have a say more than any of you."


    After speaking, he moved away from the microphone, and the host also announced the end of the press conference.


    Where the reporters were willing to leave, they kept yelling, Ryan beckoned to all the little actors and asked them to leave quickly.


    Leaving the banquet hall and entering the lounge, the noise in front was still clearly audible. Ryan suddenly felt that the crew not only had to teach these people to act, but also the most basic ways to deal with reporters. Otherwise, the three sentences will be used as a trick, which will not do any good for the crew to the film.


    "Are they all crazy?" Emma Watson stood beside her mother. Muttering.


    "After the movie is released, they will be ten times as crazy as they are now." Taylor bit the apple and walked to her. "When you cry, laugh, and make funny faces, they will all be photographed and published in the newspaper."


    "You seem to be very experienced?" Emma Watson looked at Taylor up and down. Make sure she knows no child star like this, "Do you often face them?"


    "Fortunately, they will cover my face when they take pictures of me." Taylor threw the apple in his hand, "Need guidance, Miss Emma, ??Christine and I are senior people in Hollywood."


    The tomboy following her nodded vigorously.


    "Our charges are very cheap. As long as we pick one of your toys, we can...Oh, who will play me!" Tyler turned his head and saw Ryan''s fingers just taken back, and said dissatisfied. "It will be dumb!"


    Ryan ignored the complaining little girl. Julius clapped his palms beside him at this time, reminding everyone that after the press conference, there will be a small celebration party, inviting these little actors and their relatives to attend.


    The use of minors as main actors on such a large scale is rare in the history of Hollywood. And I want these children, who are generally around ten years old, to be fully involved in the performance. The crew will give them the warmth of a big family.


    This party is meant to celebrate their stand out from the tens of thousands of candidates, and secondly, it is to establish a trusting relationship between them, their families and the main crew members as soon as possible.


    Even if they still have a long training time before the film officially starts shooting, the sooner this familiarity is, the better.


    After exiting the other door of the lounge and turning a corridor, Julis led them into a smaller banquet hall.


    As soon as the door of the banquet hall opened, applause erupted from inside.


    "If it weren''t for you, maybe I would be one of them." Tyler followed Ryan, still making a small complaint, and Emma Watson who was walking in front seemed to have heard it. When she said, she turned her head back curiously, "Do you want to play this series too? Which role?"


    "Miss know-it-all."


    Hearing Tyler''s words, the little girl embarrassedly stuck out her tongue and asked, "Then why are you..."


    In her few impressions, Ryan seemed to love this sister very much, and if she asked for it, it shouldn''t be difficult.


    "Ryan disagrees." Tyler shook his head like a lion cub, "I still have to learn music, and I don''t have time."


    "music?"


    "Yes." Taylor lifted his chin unconsciously, "I am now a trainee at Warner Records. After a few years, you will see a big singer named Taylor Swift."


    "Then can I find your signature now?"


    "Of course." Tyler pulled up Kristen carelessly, "Go, tomboy, we will take Miss Hermione around and tell the idiots to the crew that Hermione is now under my control and no one is allowed to bully her."


    Looking at the little girl whose face was being pulled away by the black line, Ryan shook his head and smiled, and found Chris Columbus.


    "Chris, they will be yours in the future." He glanced at the little actors.


    "God bless, I hope these people have half of your understanding."


    Chris Columbus has been making movies for all ages. There is no doubt that Ryan was the most worry-free and happiest young actor he encountered.


    He then thought of another thing, "I heard Lord Morrison say that the Queen is going to let the House of Lords discuss that you might be awarded the Knight Medal."


    "Um...I''ve heard of it too." Ryan nodded, not caring very much.


    This kind of title granted to people in the cultural and sports circles neither has the corresponding benefits nor can it be inherited. It is just a title, and he does not lack this now.


    As for the discussions in the House of Lords, if the royal family is really interested, the House of Lords is not a problem at all. The House of Lords in the Kingdom of Great Britain exists almost in name only. Many members of the House of Lords vacantly guard the titles handed down from their ancestors, but even their livelihood is a problem. Even many dukes or earls are street shoe repairers or taxi drivers.


    They often participate in the meetings of the House of Lords for the purpose of granting tens of pounds in subsidies.


    Let¡¯s talk about Diana¡¯s younger brother, Earl Spencer, the godson of Queen Elizabeth II. He inherited hundreds of millions of pounds of family property, but these are real estate like Althorp Manor. To make a living, he worked part-time as a current affairs commentator for the TV station.


    Ryan has been in the upper class of the West for many years, knowing that the traditional aristocracy in Europe has long since fallen.


    Somewhat unexpectedly, Ryan saw Pie ??Jinsli in the banquet hall, and the manager lady was obviously here for these little actors.


    "Hi, Ryan." Jinsli stood beside him and said with emotion, "I didn''t expect that I would become a billionaire one day."


    The foundation under Ryan''s name also accepted investment from his friends, and the IT stocks that Scott sold gave these people large dividends.


    "Trust me, Pat, this is just the beginning." Ryan patted her arm and asked concerned, "When will your personal problem be solved?"


    "It used to be too busy..." Pai Jinsli whispered, "Now only God knows what purpose those men have when they approach me, don''t forget, we still have enemies. In this circle, in order to fight against opponents, some People can use any method."


    Common interests bring not only common alliances, but also common enemies.


    Ryan, Nicole, Kingsley and Scott not only have a ten-year friendship, but they also have a common interest that has been entangled and inseparable for a long time. If one of them moves the cake, it moves all of them. People''s cake.


    "Well, let''s say something else."


    The time and occasion are wrong now, Jinsli took the initiative to change the subject, "Ryan, which of these little actors do you think has the most potential?"


    "Are you going to dig the wall?" Ryan came interested.


    Jinsli shrugged, she clearly meant that.


    "Frankly speaking, this series will praise them as hot stars and limit their future development." What Ryan said, Jinsli naturally understood. After she nodded, she said, "But as long as Harry If the Porter series does not end in a day, they can bring huge benefits."


    "In this case, you can dig them all to the KK brokerage company."


    "That''s not possible, the creative artist brokerage company is also dispatched." The innovative artist brokerage company Jinsili said is the giant CAA in this industry.


    For a long time, the KK agency has not been very eye-catching. Most of the signings are second- and third-line or less famous actors, and then use the advantages of Ryan and partners to promote them and benefit from it.


    In this way, it reduces the possibility of conflicts with CAA. Similarly, Ryan¡¯s movies will use a large number of CAA stars, and benefit sharing will always be the only way to gain a foothold and develop in Hollywood.


    "Then choose her first." Ryan''s eyes turned to Tyler''s side.


    "The girl next to Alison? Emma Watson?" Jinsli nodded When she is a little older, you can carry out all-round packaging, which can push her to fashion World. Ryan said with one hand on her chest and squeezing her chin. "If the Harry Potter series is as successful as expected, she will definitely become an idol of countless teenagers, and she will be softened by the endorsement contract alone. "


    "Well, I will let someone talk to her parents." Jinsli believes in Ryan very much, and it is he who has made her radical change in Hollywood.


    "Pat, you''d better do it yourself. Her parents are both well-known lawyers and it''s not easy to deal with."


    The atmosphere of the party has always been very harmonious. The banquet hall is more like a children''s playground. Chris Columbus is worthy of being the director who knows how to deal with children in Hollywood, and he soon became involved with these little actors.


    A harmonious atmosphere is conducive to the crew''s next work. After Ryan spent two days in London, he refused Taylor''s request to go with him and flew to the faraway New Zealand. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote recommended votes, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.

 Chapter 393： Back to new zealand

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! In the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, there are several highlights, such as the mine of Moria, such as the Valley of the Holy Helm Battles, such as the defense of Minastiris, etc., require a lot of preparatory work, some of which almost completely require setting up and shooting. When Ryan returned to New Zealand, the crew was running around to shoot some fragmentary location shots. One second to remember "" the hottest novel update is the fastest


    In order to save time, Peter Jackson simply leased several helicopters as a means of transportation.


    The humming and rotating propellers brought up snow in the sky. Two helicopters stopped one after another on a ski resort in the Southern Alps. Ryan and other members of the Fellowship Team jumped off the helicopter one after another.


    The crew has already contacted the ski resort and will shoot some scenes about the snow-capped mountains here.


    But after the people like Ryan finished their makeup and the crew set up the equipment and set up the set, they still had to wait, because the important member of the ring team, His Excellency Polomir, was still on his way.


    Sean Bing, who plays Paramir, has a very serious phobia of flying. Every time he can only take a car-ride a horse or walk where the car can''t pass-rush to the location. This has become the norm, too. People often use it as an excuse for joking.


    "Next time, we can tie Sean to the plane. Just once, his phobia can be cured."


    The weather was relatively cold, and everyone drank hot coffee and chatted together. Ryan shook his head after hearing the unreliable advice, "I believe that Sean got off the plane. Sword, pierce a few holes in you. Trust me, John. He will do it."


    "I think Sean is more likely to be scared of a heart attack." Ilya Wood said, playing with the Supreme Lord of the Rings.


    Ryan drank the remaining hot coffee in the cup and walked behind the camera, "Peter, what''s the current progress?"


    "Slower than expected." The New Zealand fat man raised his eyes, but also a little helpless, "Ryan..."


    "Well, I just want to ask, when will the movie be released at the earliest?" Ryan interrupted him by raising his hand. "Give me an exact time."


    "It will be 2001 at the earliest." Peter Jackson changed his complaining tone. "The actor''s schedule is too tight. Your Surprise Pictures also snatched my Gandalf and Princess Arwen, as well as you. Ryan, can you stay in the crew for a while?"


    "Hey, hey. Hey, Peter." Ryan pointed to Sir Ian McLean in the crowd. "Our white-robed wizard has returned."


    After waiting for about an hour, Sean Bin finally rushed over. Fortunately, his makeup was not particularly troublesome, and he didn''t have to wait too long for an audition. The crew entered the shooting state.


    On the snow-covered ridge, the set-up set got busy because it was with a few little hobbits. Not only did the stand-in actors who are only three feet tall were used here, but also the forced perspective shooting technique was used.


    Forced perspective shooting technology. It''s Peter Jackson''s Weta Studio, a set of shooting systems including a carriage and a platform specially developed for the Hobbits. That is, normal people are placed in the foreground close to the camera and step on a higher platform, and the actor who plays the hobbit is on the ground in the background, which will give people a corresponding visual illusion. When the camera moves, the actor will follow. Move to maintain a visual ratio of around seven to four.


    This system is not perfect, especially when used in long shots, it will give people a sense of weariness. At this time, the ¡®dwarf¡¯ actors specially hired by the crew are required to wear the masks of Frodo and others.


    In addition to the actors'' scenes, the crew also filmed a lot of snow scenes here. When Ryan and others finished work, Peter Jackson was still busy with people.


    "Shaun, don''t forget, you have already been killed once."


    When the group walked towards the make-up room, Elijah Wood muttered dissatisfiedly. During the filming, Sean Bing was extremely active and hit Elijah Wood on the snow several times.


    "Because you are all fallen, Iluvita has to send me back to save you." Yiluvita, in the mouth of Sean Bin, is the supreme **** in the original book.


    "We have King Eliza!" The other actors who played the Hobbit protested together.


    "The only thing in King Eliza''s eyes is Arwen." Sean Bin pulled out his prop sword, "Gondor''s sword is the weapon to protect you."


    "Wow, Ryan, you should protest." John Davis walked around Ryan, inciting loudly, "It''s better to let Aragon and Porromir have a duel, what do you think?"


    "This is definitely a good idea."


    "I agree."


    "I''m in the bank, Ryan loses one if he wins, and Sean loses two if he wins." Orlando Bloom instantly became the croupier, "Who bet?"


    "Sean, do you really want to fight me?" Ryan smiled maliciously, half of the saber around his waist was drawn out.


    Sean Bin looked at the steel sword reflecting Xueguang, then looked at the rubber sword in his hand, and said very simply, "Does the ghost want to fight you?"


    "Hey, Sean, you can''t do this." John Davis protested loudly, "How can you give up without fighting?"


    "Well, John, I gave you the chance to fight."


    Hearing Sean Bin''s words and seeing other people''s gloating expressions, John Davis simply closed his mouth.


    Although the nine of them are amateur level players for fighting, there are also differences between the amateur level. John Davis and Sean Bing know that Ryan is in all the action shots that have been taken. He didn''t use stunt doubles, and all played in person. Although his skills were incomparable with the bodyguard who had been following him, he was much more flexible and agile than them.


    The action scene that Ryan wants to shoot is not only the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but also "Gladiator", and if you want to get the full recognition of the public opinion, it is a must to avoid the use of substitutes.


    When rushed back to the crew station in the suburbs of Queenstown, it was already dark. Ryan went to the board room area serving as a restaurant and had dinner casually, and then returned to his trailer.


    Although it is in the wild, it serves as a trailer for his room, and the comfort level is no less than that of a luxury suite in a five-star hotel. In this regard, Ryan is deeply influenced by Nicole and will never treat him badly.


    Besides, only if you have a good rest can you put all your energy into shooting.


    Of course, this is obviously impossible for Ryan. Perhaps after entering the set, he will only think of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but at other times, he has to deal with other things.


    Making coffee for himself, Ryan opened the notebook and continued the unfinished "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.


    After he wrote the outline and settings, he filed it with the Screenwriters Association, and at the same time let Jinsli publicize it. The creativity has already been occupied in advance, so there is no need to worry about the script.


    In Ryan¡¯s vision, the trilogy can be filmed at the same time, which will save a lot of production costs and actor fees. Moreover, he has performed a lot of operations on the script, especially the first one and the next two. In terms of some props and actors¡¯ lines, David Jones and the endless world will be mentioned from time to time.


    Especially when Captain Barbosa failed in the end, he would shout to Jack Sparrow, "David Jones will come back to you to collect that debt!"


    In short, all of this is to lead to the subsequent sequel, rather than as blunt as the previous life.


    As for whether there will be a fourth and a fifth, as long as the movie can make money, why not shoot it?


    However, after the news about "Pirates of the Caribbean" was spread, even with Ryan''s past achievements, the vast majority of people in the industry are still not optimistic about it.


    The lessons of pirate-type movies to Hollywood are really painful.


    The Carlock Pictures acquired by Jenkins Pictures fell on the pirate-type theme "Cut Throat".


    At that time, Mario Casa was ambitious and invested 100 million US dollars through financing to invest in this movie. Later, he invested up to 50 million US dollars in promotion and marketing expenses. The cost of this 50 million US dollars was only In exchange for a box office of a little more than ten million dollars, it directly led to the bankruptcy of Carlock Pictures.


    Originally, pirate movies were the subject matter that Hollywood has always been a hit, but the failure of "Cut Throat" directly buried this subject matter. After Jenkins Pictures acquired Carlock Pictures, Mario Casa transferred to the executive and vowed again. Don''t touch the work directly related to the film.


    Ryan shook his head. Even after five years, the shadow of "Cut Throat Island" still hung over Hollywood.


    In fact, many people in previous lives have analyzed the reasons for the failure of "Cut Throat Island". Ryan still remembers that some people said that the reason is very simple, because there is no Captain Jack Sparrow in the role of this movie, and there is no Johnny Depp in the actors. .


    Of course, these are all jokes.


    After the film¡¯s failure, many people in the industry have done research Ryan is no exception. In addition to the female pirate king and the outrageous plot, Mario Casa gave the director Rennie? Harlem''s excessive power is also a fatal factor.


    You know, there was no female pirate king in the original script. It was the director who forcibly joined the role and then hired Gina Davis to play. After the film failed, Gina Davis became the director. Wife.


    Under the light or dark rules that exist in Hollywood, this can explain some problems.


    The restriction of the power of the director by the producer can sometimes lead to the failure of the film, but more often, it may not be a bad thing.


    As for the directors recruited by Jenkins Pictures, Ryan will often give the other party corresponding powers, but there will be no shortage of supervisory measures.


    When approaching eleven o''clock in the evening, Ryan packed his notebook and prepared to rest.


    Tomorrow there will be a shooting mission. They are like rabbits driven by wolves, flying around on New Zealand Island in a helicopter, shooting fragmentary location shots.

 Chapter 394： accident

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "I can''t give you anything, because you already have the most precious gift." Queen Galadriel.


    Ryan is still the standard Aragonese dress, but compared to the past, it is much neater, facing Arwen''s grandmother, he has a solemn look.


    The Elf Queen''s hand slowly stroked the silver-white evening star on his chest, and the beautiful Quenya seemed to come from the sky.


    "Because you already have Arwen''s love." She continued, "I am worried that Twilight''s brilliance will gradually dim."


    "I want her to leave Middle-earth." Silent Aragorn finally said, "With her people, take a boat to Varinor."


    "It''s up to her to decide." The Elf Queen looked at Aragorn, "You also have to face your choice, Aragorn. Is it to surpass the glory established by your parents since the time of Elendil, or to be with you? The only remaining people fell into incomparable darkness together."


    "Goodbye, you still have a lot to do, we won''t meet again, King Elisa!"


    "This shot has passed!"


    Peter Jackson''s loud voice rang, "Everyone turned to the lake, ready to take the next shot!"


    Ryan took off the elf cloak and walked towards the lake with Cate Blanchett, who was carrying the skirt horns.


    "Kate, how does the queen feel?" Ryan asked.


    "I feel like I''ve never been so beautiful." Cate Blanchett carefully avoided branches and weeds with the assistance of an assistant. "It''s just that this dress is too troublesome. I can''t imagine wearing such a dress. How to act in the jungle."


    "Queen Galadriel never needs to think about this, doesn''t it?" Ryan pulled a branch in front of her aside, made a please gesture, and continued, "I heard that Peter added a monologue for you? "


    "Huh huh~" Blanche nodded, and raised the corners of the skirt a little bit. "Peter said my voice is very magnetic. Give me the monologue at the beginning of the film."


    "It was handed over to Queen Galadriel."


    The two just walked to the lake. Peter Jackson obviously heard what they were saying and couldn''t help but interject, "Not you, Kate."


    "Excuse me, does it make a difference?" Cate Blanchett spread his hands on him.


    "In Peter''s eyes." Ryan deliberately joked, "We actors, we are far, far away from the requirements of the Lord of the Rings role."


    "Okay, Ryan." Peter Jackson is very busy and has no time to quarrel here. "If you have time. Please familiarize yourself with the script or practice swordsmanship, okay?"


    After speaking, he turned his head and shouted at the busy crew members, "Quick, move faster, push the boat into the lake, be careful! Don''t scrape the paint off the outside."


    Three beautifully crafted white spirit ships, assisted by machinery. Was slowly pushed into the lake by the props team.


    "I have time to talk, Kate." Ryan pointed to the boat. "They''re almost done. I''m going to be ready to shoot."


    "That''s good. Goodbye, Ryan."


    The members of the Ring Team quickly divided into three groups. Ryan boarded the boat and took over the oars. Tried the firmness of disembarkation, there should be no shipwreck accident.


    "The one hundred and twenty-fourth scene, the twenty-fifth act begins now!"


    The wood pulp plunged into the lake. Bringing up bursts of water, Ryan skidded the boat proficiently, and headed forward first.


    "Oh, Ryan, are you very skilled, professionally trained?" Ilya Wood, who was sitting in front of him, asked in a low voice.


    "Ilya, do you want to hear Peter''s roar?" Ryan warned.


    "This is a long shot." Elijah Wood tried to maintain her sitting position, "There is no positive feature..."


    Before he could finish his words, there was a sound of poking and falling into the water suddenly came from behind. Ryan hurriedly turned his head and saw that the last boat had turned over. Orlando Bloom and John Davis were struggling in the water, on the shore. The staff quickly rushed into the water and fished them ashore.


    "Damn it, Orlando, you can overturn the boat."


    When Ryan returned to the shore, the first thing he heard was John Davis''s complaining. The actor who played Jin Li had a mess of beard and silicone on his face, and he obviously needed to make up again.


    "Sorry, I didn''t expect it to be the case." Orlando Bloom had already taken off his wig, and was scratching his bald head awkwardly at the moment.


    In fact, during practice, he overturned the boat many times, and later managed to grasp the balance with great difficulty, but he did not expect to overturn it again during the official shooting.


    Ryan patted Orlando Bloom on the shoulder and sat next to John Davis, watching the makeup artist reapply his makeup.


    Despite the best efforts of the crew, poor John is allergic to several cosmetics due to his physique. The hairy silicone mask always causes inflammation around his eyes, so he can¡¯t shoot every day continuously, at least every day. He has to take a day off every day of work to ensure that his skin returns to normal.


    It can be said that he suffered the most among all actors because of makeup problems.


    "Hi, everybody."


    Cate Blanchett, who had temporarily finished the scene, obviously had nothing to do. He walked over and beckoned to Ryan and others, "It seems that the gift I gave you is not very useful."


    "You should send Orlando a speedboat, or the one that can drive automatically." I don''t know who joked.


    "Okay, dears, Orlando is just a mistake, it''s no big deal." This kind of joke is okay from time to time. More words will definitely affect the atmosphere of the crew. Ryan simply changed the subject, "Kate, your pointed ears." It''s so beautiful."


    "Really?" Cate Blanchett carefully touched the fake ears made of silicone, and said in a very mysterious tone, "Actually, I have always wanted to have a pair of pointed ears."


    Everyone laughed.


    It took three hours for John Davis to become Jin Li again. Although Peter Jackson changed to take some other shots during this period, he still told Orlando Bloom several times before shooting. Never capsize again.


    Fortunately, the shooting of the long-range shot went very smoothly. At least it was the same before the director called to stop. After the New Zealand fat man called''cut'', the tragedy happened again. Orlando Bloom and John Day. Weis became a rookie again.


    This kind of shooting interspersed with a large number of action shots cannot be smooth sailing. In some small accidents from time to time, the crew sent away one after another actors, such as Cate Blanchett, who played Queen Galadriel, for her role. Not many, if nothing happens, I''m afraid they won''t appear in New Zealand in the future.


    At the same time, new actors were ushered in one after another, such as Naomi Watts who played the role of King Lohan¡¯s daughter Iowen.


    "The actress who was originally identified was pregnant, and then the agent won this opportunity for me."


    By the open woods, Naomi Watts stood opposite Ryan, curiously looking at the prop sword in Ryan''s hand, "This is my first time acting in an action scene."


    The original actor had an accident. This is a headache for any director and producer. Ryan also scratched his head. Obviously, Naomi Watts had not received special training before coming to the crew to report. The script is about Iowen. There are many scenes of horse riding and fighting.


    "I didn''t expect us to be able to act in a rivalry so soon, Ryan." She looked a little excited.


    "You should pray that I won''t accidentally hurt you." The two had several fighting scenes, although in Ryan''s impression, most of Peter Jackson in his previous life did not adopt it. "You know, Nami, those who are against me The stuntmen in the show, each of them was cut ten swords by me at least!"


    In fact, up to now, the stuntman who played the Angmar Witch King and the leader of the strong orc¡ªthe two roles are played by the same person¡ªhas been killed by him nearly fifty times in total. Ryan I doubt that when the shooting is over, a new Guinness World Record will be set.


    "Ryan..." Peter Jackson''s assistant beckoned here.


    "Now it''s my turn."


    After Ryan made a gesture to talk back to Naomi Watts, he strode to the set-up set, and Naomi Watts returned directly to the crew station.


    Because of the change of actors, Iowen¡¯s scenes were all pushed to the back, and Peter Jackson hired someone to provide special training for Naomi Watts.


    The corpses of the orcs burned by the Rohan knights were piled up like a hill, and there were bursts of white smoke. Jin Li turned the charred bones with an axe and found a clue.


    He raised the head of the blackened belt, "This is the belt buckle of the little hobbit."


    Legolas lowered his head and prayed for the hobbits, "May they rest in peace!"


    Aragorn threw away the arrow he was looking at in his hand, sadness and anger were written on that firm face, and his anger urgently needed to be vented. He turned half a circle on the spot, and just saw the helmet of the half-orc next to him. With a kick, he kicked the helmet far away.


    "Ah! Ah~~"


    A cold sweat broke out on Ryan''s forehead, and he knelt down on the ground with a roar, "Ah!"


    This heart-piercing scream, even Peter Jackson''s voice could not be suppressed, the cold sweat on Ryan''s forehead was getting more and more, he only felt the thumb of his left foot kicking the helmet. .uukanshu.com heard a piercing pain.


    "Hey, Ryan, the director has stopped calling." John Davis reminded him with his axe.


    "No!" Orlando Bloom had just been injured some time ago and immediately shouted, "Hurry up, call the doctor."


    After gritting his teeth, Ryan resisted the piercing pain and shouted, "My left foot seems to be injured!"


    "Doctor! Doctor! Hurry up!" Peter Jackson yelled in the direction of the doctor with cold sweat on his forehead.


    George was the first to rush over and helped Ryan lay flat on the grass, "Where?"


    "Left foot!"


    Ryan can''t remember how many years he has not endured such pain. In the past ten years, he has lived a good life and almost forgot what it was like to suffer.

 Chapter 395： Minor injuries also get off the line

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "Well, Dr. Coles, please tell me the result directly?"


    Lying on a bed in a private hospital in Queenstown, Ryan was a little dizzy by the series of professional jargons from the crew of the doctor. He said that he should not have a broken toe finger, right? I haven''t encountered such a bad luck ever since I made a movie. One second to remember "" the hottest novel update is the fastest


    "That''s it, Mr. Jenkins."


    Seeing that the people gathered in the ward turned their eyes to themselves, this doctor who has always been known for his rigorous attitude finally removed those medical terminology, "Your left thumb has a slight joint misalignment and soft tissue contusion. , It is recommended to pause the shooting and rest for a while, and it is best not to land on the left foot.


    Ryan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the bone is not broken, as for the rest, that''s for sure, he won''t make his foot crippled for a movie.


    Those who have experienced this way will definitely understand the importance of life and body.


    "The great King Elisa needs a temporary rest, we should go." Peter Jackson whispered a few words to Ryan, waved his hand to indicate that the people in the ward should leave.


    John Davis, Orlando Bloom and others stepped forward and hugged Ryan, saying ¡®no big deal¡¯, ¡®we¡¯re waiting for you to come back¡¯ and so on.


    "Hey, hey, hey, everyone." Ryan really didn''t adapt to this atmosphere, and said loudly, "I just got a little hurt, don''t you need it?"


    Before these people left, Ryan called the Fatty Director alone, "Peter, this is just a minor injury, so don''t publicize it."


    "I understand." Peter Jackson lifted his eyes, "I''m still afraid of spreading it. Your fans will mail bullets."


    Asking George to send Peter Jackson away, Ryan leaned on the propped up hospital bed, but he didn''t worry about the reaction of the fans. If news of the injury reaches Nicole and Natalie¡¯s ears, the two of them will probably appear in New Zealand soon. Together with Charlize Theron, who will come to the crew to report in the next few days, they can perform one. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is still the kind of king versus king.


    Lying on the hospital bed, Ryan was a little surprised.


    With the appearance of Charlize Theron, this matter can no longer be dragged on like this. It is time to resolve it. Over the past year or so, many paparazzi have been coming around, intentionally or unintentionally. Some of the methods of investigating police are extremely professional, and it is obvious that someone is eyeing him. If his team of bodyguards is not strong enough, perhaps Hollywood has already exploded in shocking gossip.


    George came back soon, with a few bodyguards. Ryan saw the wheelchair and crutches in the hands of the bodyguards, and couldn''t help rolling his eyes. Does it need to be such an exaggeration? I haven''t become a disabled person yet.


    Well, for the sake of the body. These are all necessary. It seems that I will be staying in this hospital for some time.


    "George, let me return to the crew to bring my notebook and some daily necessities." He just used this time to complete the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean".


    "Do you need to go back to North America?" George asked.


    "No, stay here for now." Ryan thought for a while. Said, "For any reason, I pushed the premiere of "The Mummy"."


    George nodded and led people out.


    Because I was shooting very small scenes. Peter Jackson again issued a ban on the insiders. In addition, this is New Zealand, which is far from the World Entertainment Center. The news of Ryan''s injury was limited to a very small area. In his routine calls with Nicole and Natalie, he never mentioned this matter.


    Queenstown in August has passed the coldest season. Although the temperature did not drop below freezing during the coldest time, the bright sun shines on people''s faces, always with lazy warmth.


    Covered with a thick woolen blanket, Ryan sat in the small garden of the hospital with his eyes squinted, enjoying the noon sun. If it weren''t for the wheelchair, he might fall asleep.


    "You look so laid back."


    A familiar voice came from the other side. Ryan slowly opened his eyes and stretched out unhurriedly. "It''s rare to have a time to be free."


    "Why didn''t you notify me?" Charlize Theron appeared in front of him with long legs in light-colored slacks. "After I came to the crew, I heard Peter say that you were injured."


    There was a hint of blame in her tone, but more distressed.


    "It''s just a small injury." Ryan shook her hand gently. "It''s not as bad as Orlando''s last time, and it won''t take a few days to recover."


    Charlize Theron shook his head slightly. After all, the opposite was an injury. She didn''t have much to say. While mumbling in her heart to wait for you to recover from the injury, she leaned down and kissed his lips without any suspicion Down.


    The neckline of her beige sweater was a little low, and Ryan just saw a piece of white snow, and said in a low voice, "Hey, dear, are you seduce me?"


    "You said that''s it." Charlize laughed and turned to the back of the wheelchair. "Do you need me to push you around?"


    "As long as you don''t mind."


    This is just a small private hospital, the owner is the Dr. Coles, because the crew has too many action scenes, the actors are often injured, Peter Jackson simply packaged the entire hospital.


    The garden is not big, Charlize Theron pushed Ryan around twice, but it only took ten minutes.


    "Why can''t I see other patients?" South Africa Diamond found that apart from her two, there were only Ryan''s bodyguards.


    "This is a good sign." Ryan grabbed her hand and kissed lightly. "This shows that no one on the crew has been injured recently."


    "Because Peter is currently filming a literary drama." Charlize bent down, resting his pointed chin lightly on Ryan''s head, "My dear, maybe I will come in with you tomorrow?"


    "You can''t talk nonsense like this." Ryan turned her head and raised her chin, and pressed **** the two soft red lips. "In Peter''s words, New Zealand Island is a very magical land. The words that come out will often be fulfilled."


    "Really?" Charlize Theron''s eyes flashed, as if thinking of something else, and after a meeting, he said, "It seems I need to ask Peter more."


    "What can I ask?" Ryan picked her chin and kissed the mole on the neck of the South African diamond. Charlize lowered her body a bit and said, "Of course it''s asking how to make her words come true. what."


    Ryan bit her on the chest, and quickly changed the subject, "Your scene in "X-Men" is over."


    "Huh huh~" Charlize nodded, straightened up, and pushed Ryan up, "It''s windy, let''s go back, where is your ward?"


    After returning home, Charlize Theron almost used the fastest time to get acquainted with everything in the ward, and brewed the most suitable black tea for Ryan''s taste. When Dr. Coles came in for a routine checkup, he carefully asked about the size. For small matters needing attention, I even consulted the special nurses specifically for massage methods to relax the leg muscles.


    "Okay, Charlie." People''s hearts are full of flesh. Ryan can naturally feel that South African Diamonds cares about him. After everyone has left, he said, "Professional work is left to professional people. You It¡¯s a Hollywood star, not a masseuse."


    "But it doesn''t hurt to know more, doesn''t it?" Charlize Theron sat beside him, staring at the document in the notebook in front of Ryan and said, "New script?"


    "Well, a story about pirates." Ryan nodded.


    "I...may I see it?" Charlize Theron was obviously interested. After Ryan nodded, he moved the notebook to him and quickly scanned the documents. After a long time, he said with emotion, "This Elizabeth? Miss Wang is really wild."


    "Are you interested?" If the film is shot in advance, it is not impossible to change to a heroine.


    "Do you think my temperament is appropriate? Or am I wild and untamable?" Charlize asked, turning his head and staring at Ryan.


    The usual Charlize Theron is still some distance away from the words wild and untamable. In Ryan''s eyes, she will only show the wild side when she does one thing.


    Now is not the time to think about this.


    Seeing his injured foot, Ryan shook his head and actively changed the subject, "Want to play this role, Charlie?"


    "No." Charlize shook his head without hesitation, and then explained, "I have played enough vase roles."


    It seems that this is the case. Ryan quickly recalled that, except for the heroine of "Perfect", the other roles of South African Diamonds to the present are almost all vases. Even if they were not the role of vases in the previous life, she was also played by her. The vase.


    In some ways, Charlize Theron in this life has a common problem with Leonardo DiCaprio in the previous life, that is, most of the roles are played by them.


    Of course, the vase is not without benefits. When the image of the South African diamond vase is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there will be another three hundred and sixty degrees of gorgeous turn, presumably the scene from the previous life will definitely repeat itselfWhat are you thinking about? What about Ryan? "Charlize Theron breathed softly into his ear.


    "Nothing, something about the company." Although Garcia had found information about the two women, Ryan didn''t intend to tell her before the negotiation was settled. He didn''t want to see it if there were other ways. The beautiful diamond becomes a devil with a ruined image.


    Charlize Theron didn''t stay long. There were still some scenes she participated in in the evening, and she needed to rush back to the crew.


    "I will come to see you often..." After the lingering farewell kiss, Charlize Theron''s eyes were clearly unwilling.


    "Charlie, I will be able to act in a few days, just be careful." Ryan said that I was only slightly injured. "If I recover well, I will be able to go to the set to see you filming soon."


    "Okay, I''ll be waiting for you on the set." After that, she bent down and bit on Ryan''s ear beads again. "And we can also go to hills or woods and other places alone. "

 Chapter 396： Definitely not today

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! ps: Ask for recommendation, ask for monthly pass, ask for subscription


    After a break for nearly two weeks, Dr. Coles agreed to Ryan to go to the set and repeatedly told him not to shoot action scenes in the near future. Ryan is not a fool, and he naturally responded solemnly.


    It''s just that the car hasn''t driven the crew yet, so he answered the questioning call.


    "Ryan, Nami came to visit the class a few days ago. I heard her hurt when you were filming?" Although Nicole''s voice on the phone was more caring, but with obvious dissatisfaction, "What''s the matter? I asked. She doesn''t know about Nami either."


    "It''s okay, my dear."


    Fortunately, Naomi Watts left before the filming that day, otherwise it must have been heard in Nicole¡¯s ears early, "The soft tissue of the left foot is a bit contusion, you know, shooting action scenes, it is inevitable, it is completely good now. Up."


    "Ryan, you should tell me." Nicole''s voice was low, "Don''t worry me, okay?"


    "I''m sorry, Nicole." Ryan can only do that.


    "Well, I''ll come to visit the class if I take the time." Nicole probably thought it was just a trivial injury, and skipped the incident. "Have you received the documents I asked to fax?"


    Ryan nodded to George, and Mr. Bodyguard nodded slightly, and he said, "Of course."


    "Well, let''s do it for now. I miss you, dear."


    "I miss you too, Nicole."


    Hanging up the phone, George had already handed over the documents Nicole had mentioned, "I received it three hours ago."


    Nodded, Ryan turned it over carefully, and the contents of the file were all related to the movie.


    "The Matrix" currently has a North American box office of 200 million U.S. dollars. Although the number of remaining theaters is less than 1,000, there is still some potential to tap in the North American market. At the same time, it has been released in overseas markets one after another. There has been an upsurge of hackers all over the world. As of September, overseas markets have contributed more than 200 million US dollars in box office, and movie sales are inevitable.


    With the success of this film, the Wachowski brothers joined the ranks of Hollywood''s first-line directors. They asked the producers to invest more post-production costs on the second and third films. The Weinstein brothers verbally The above agreed to their request, as for the specific number, you have to discuss with Ryan.


    This is easy to handle. After the first big sale, Jenkins Pictures restarted negotiations with advertisers, and the increased sponsorship advertising expenses were invested in film production.


    Below the document about "The Matrix" is the box office report of "The Mummy". This movie has been in North America for two weeks now, and it has earned more than 55 million U.S. dollars and close to 31 million U.S. dollars. It is possible to recover the total cost of 95 million US dollars by relying solely on the North American box office.


    And Stephen Sommers, the director who switched from Disney to Jenkins Pictures. He has achieved the most brilliant performance since filming, and now he is traveling to the senior level of Jenkins Pictures, and wants to start the production of the second part as soon as possible.


    "Listen to Michael Eisner replacing the head of the Disney editing team because he rejected Director Sommers." George sitting next to Ryan spoke. The source of the so-called listening is definitely Garcia.


    "Notify Julis, let Stephen Sommers come up with the script as soon as possible." Ryan naturally has to be cautious when it comes to the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. Where can I easily let go without the script.


    Over the years, in addition to serving as a personal bodyguard, George has also served as Ryan''s assistant. His decisions are recorded one by one.


    The last is an invitation. Actually, it¡¯s not an invitation. After all, "Death is Coming" is a film jointly invested by Jenkins Pictures and Tom Hanks. Big Tom, for the future of his son, can be described as a great deal of effort and personal invitation. Ryan participated in the premiere of this film.


    Ryan calculated the time, if the next shooting goes well, it should be too late.


    Just like when Orlando Bloom returned from injury, the idle crew of the crew held a welcoming ceremony for Ryan, especially the elder Peter Jackson invited from the Maori tribe, who also entered the huge temporary photography. In front of the shed, pray for him by dancing.


    "Hi, Ryan..."


    "welcome back."


    "Our king is back."


    Orlando Bloom, Ilya Wood and others greeted him one after another. When Ryan walked in front of Charlize Theron, the South African Diamond gave him a big hug without hesitation.


    "Wow"


    This group of guys who feared that the world would not be chaotic, uttered a strange cry.


    "Are you sure there is no problem." Charlize Theron didn''t pay attention to those people at all, and Ryan asked with concern.


    "There is nothing wrong with shooting the literary drama." Ryan had a calm expression, as if in this way, telling the gossiping guys that he and the woman opposite are normal.


    "But you have to ride a horse!"


    This is the largest studio. Hundreds of New Zealand soldiers and extras are making up and dressing up. It can be seen from the clothes they wear. This is Rohan¡¯s knight and Gondor¡¯s. soldier.


    "Don''t worry, it''s just a problem for me." Ryan patted Charlize''s hand, "I''m going to put on makeup."


    With the assistance of the stylist, chain armor, combat boots, beard, leather jacket and black cloak, as well as the indispensable Nasir holy sword, appeared on Ryan¡¯s body one after another. He stood in front of a huge mirror. It was the neatest dress for Aragorn after entering the crew, and the sacred white tree on his chest showed his identity and status at the moment-the commander of the human race''s last coalition army, King Ilisa!


    When I came to the set up set in the studio, Ryan raised his head, and it was still a flat blue screen. This kind of shooting has gone through too many times. Heimen looks like he needs to be added in post-production.


    "Briggo, my old friend, it''s been a long time."


    Ryan stroked the red horse''s forehead, the horse snorted lightly, and he regained his comrades next to him, they were ready.


    "Need a test shot, Ryan?" Peter Jackson asked behind the camera.


    "No, Peter, I think I''m in the right state now." Ryan turned on his horse confidently, and Ian McLean''s voice came from beside him, "If you can''t make it at once, all of us have lunch. It''s up to you."


    "What if they have a problem?" Ryan pointed to the soldiers and extras who disguised themselves as soldiers. Their numbers were obviously not enough, and the remaining ones had to be added later by cg.


    Orlando Bloom grabbed the words, "That still counts for you."


    "Okay, I hope there are no problems."


    In fact, Ryan is not worried about this. These people have been rehearsing for a long time for the scene in front of the black door.


    "The seven hundred and sixty-second scene, the twenty-third act, now begins!" The assistant director finally called the start.


    Hundreds of soldiers were waiting. They seemed to be the most horrible thing in the world. One by one they showed fearful expressions. Many people even started to retreat unconsciously. They seemed to predict the end of the war and thought about them. Down will face-death.


    Is death scary? Even if they are warriors who have experienced the defense of Minastiris, they will still be afraid.


    "Hold your position! Hold your position!"


    Ryan fought his horse and waved his sword, shouting anxiously at his square, encouraging the morale he needed most at this time, and he galloped back and forth in front of the battle.


    At this moment he seems to have become the real Elisa King.


    "Warriors of Gondor and Rohan! My brothers!" he shouted, "I have the same fear in your eyes!"


    "Maybe one day, mankind will lose courage, and our congregation will betray their relatives and be completely defeated, but it is definitely not today!"


    "Maybe one day, evil will defeat justice, and the human world will be destroyed, but it is definitely not today!"


    "Today we are going to fight to the death! In order to protect everything you cherish in this world, fight for the end, humans from the West!"


    Ryan gently pulled Brigo''s reins, and the maroon horse made a stand, his long sword was raised high, and there was a sound of pulling a sword behind him.


    As Peter Jackson called to stop, the audience burst into enthusiastic applause. Although this was a pre-set line, Ryan used voice, expression and few movements to show the momentum of a fight to the death.


    "Very wonderful speech!"


    When he slowly got off his horse, Elijah Wood was the first to come over, her baby face was very funny, "Mighty Majesty, please accept the allegiance of a hobbit."


    Putting the holy sword of Nasir on Ilya Wood¡¯s shoulder, Ryan said with a serious look, ¡°I officially canonize you as a knight¡¯s servant. From today on, you can live in a stable with Brigo. , Mr. Frodo Baggins."


    "This is really the top treatment." Ilya Wood muttered.


    The people around laughed, and similar jokes often happened during the shooting.


    "The only pity is that this shot was once passed."


    Orlando Bloom¡¯s words just fell Peter Jackson¡¯s voice rang, "Orlando, do you want us to waste a whole day on this lens?"


    "No, no, Peter, I didn''t mean that." Orlando Bloom explained quickly, "It''s a pity that our free lunch is gone."


    These guys! Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head and turned to the Fatty Director, "Peter, is there a shooting mission at night?"


    "No."


    After Peter Jackson shook his head, Ryan said loudly, "Well, lunch is gone. I will pay for the campfire party in the evening!"


    "Wow, Ryan is so generous." Someone yelled.


    "George!"


    Ryan made a gesture to Mr. Bodyguard in the distance, and George nodded knowingly, took out his mobile phone and started calling. To be continued. .

 Chapter 397： For our friendship

    When the crew finished work in the evening, one after another vans drove into the station from the direction of Queenstown, filled with various fruits, vegetables and fresh meat, as well as wine essential for parties.


    Recently, Peter Jackson has been shooting big scenes because of the contact of the New Zealand army in place. Just yesterday, they set up sets and blue screens to film the battle of Minas Tirith. King Rohan hoped that Morale shot of Uton in front of the battle.


    A team of 500 New Zealand soldiers, together with the actors and staff recruited by the crew, gathered more than a thousand people in the entire station. It was like a small town, and such a number of people, when the bonfire is lit, can be Imagine what a spectacular scene.


    Hundreds of bonfires burned in the wilderness outside the station, reflecting half of the sky, with laughter and laughter mixed in, and it buzzed like dozens of helicopters.


    "Cheers!"


    Like all crews, the main creators of the crew gathered together.


    After drinking the New Zealand puree juice in his glass, Ryan found that Charlize Theron, who had disappeared since the afternoon, was not among them.


    "Did she leave New Zealand?" Ryan was puzzled.


    He knows that South Africa Diamond has finished all the shots, and he can leave the crew at any time as long as he wants, but why not say hello to himself?


    "Wow, wow!"


    The people gathered around the bonfire yelled, like a pervert who saw the beauty.


    There was indeed a beautiful woman in front of them.


    The two long legs are straight and slender, and the low-necked V-line sweater has the same color as the leather boots. Just falling below the chest line makes the waist look extraordinarily attractive. The long gooseneck is all exposed, with a spring breeze smile on the pretty face, showing the unique charm of South African diamonds.


    "Why, don''t recognize me anymore."


    Charlize Theron came over, pushed Twee Ryan''s shoulder, and after he moved out of the space, sat down generously.


    "When did you dye your hair back?" Ryan remembers that when she was in the studio in the morning, she still had long black hair.


    "I went to Queenstown." Charlize pulled the golden ponytail tied behind his head to his chest. "Find someone to help fix the haircut, all came a little late."


    She understood the aesthetics of the guy opposite, and slammed his shoulder lightly, "Is it pretty?"


    "It''s like the most beautiful diamond from South Africa." Ryan did not hesitate to praise, "South Africa diamond is the best description for you."


    "South African diamond?" Charlize''s gray-blue eyes lit up in an instant, "I like this name."


    Then, she saw the barbecue that was handed to Ryan by others. It seemed to be a little burnt, I took it immediately, put it aside, and asked, "What do you want to eat, I''ll bake it for you?"


    "Whatever you want." Ryan knew that her craft was much better than Nicole.


    "Hey. Ryan." Orlando Bloom yelled diagonally across from the blond model beside him, "There is no such kind of meat in this world."


    "I dare say that even if Charlie bake a piece of wood for Ryan, he will eat it." Elijah Wood has always been an activist. At this time, it is natural to be jokes.


    In fact, Ryan is very clear. Charlize Theron hasn''t been constrained much in the crew. Perhaps those who are some distance away from them can''t see much, but the members of the Fellowship Team are the closest people, and they are vaguely aware of it.


    However, Ryan is not worried. The Hollywood crews have many unwritten rules. Before the parties are caught by the media or exposed, others will not speak randomly. Besides, he is not just an actor and a star. No one is a fool.


    "Okay, I thought about what to eat." Ryan greeted Elijah Wood''s Sam and Pippin actors, "Sean, and Billy, do a little favor, let''s drive Ilya to the fire. Come on, tonight¡¯s main course is BBQ Frodo!"


    "Wow, I like it. It is said that the meat of Hobbits is always delicious." It was Andy Serkins who was the actor playing Gollum. This guy rolled his eyes and looked at Sean Austin. "Dear Sam, do you remember the bite I bit you during the last filming? It tastes so nostalgic, my... baby!"


    Sean Austin shuddered when he heard this line, "Hey, Andy, you are too deep in the play."


    "Really? Why don''t I think?" Andy Serkins'' words caused people around to laugh at the same time.


    "Andy!" Ryan raised his glass to him, "I''ve seen the shots you have taken. Although they are all pictures with image capture devices, I have to say that you are a genius!"


    "It''s really touching to be praised by Hollywood''s recognized genius."


    He used Guru''s accent again, and everyone burst into laughter again.


    Unlike others, only Ryan knows how tough this guy is. Andy Serkins has played many roles in his own face, but he has been unwilling until the Lord of the Rings trilogy.


    Originally, Peter Jackson caught his voice and invited him to dub Gollum, but after reading the script, Andy Serkins found that the role was extremely suitable for his appetite, and it was difficult to blend in with the dubbing alone. , He discussed with Peter and simply played this role himself. Unexpectedly, the two would hit it off right away, and he also used the existing image capture technology to the fullest.


    I am afraid that even he himself would not have thought that he is creating a great role. In his previous life, many people thought that Gollum was completely worthy of an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, but the role he played was processed by computer. It is impossible to get the approval of the Oscar jury.


    However, in the list of the''Greatest Movie Characters in History'' selected by multiple media later, Gollum ranked in the top 20, and it was Andy Serkis that brought this character to life.


    If it develops according to the normal trajectory, Andy Serkis will also play King Kong in "King Kong", Captain Bearded in "The Adventures of Tintin", and the chimpanzee Caesar in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", thus becoming this A well-deserved leader in the field.


    "What do you want?" Charlize handed over the baked food.


    The roasted meat was full of fragrance and was placed in a stainless steel tray. It was cut into thin slices of meat by South African diamonds, with toothpicks inserted into it.


    "Charlie, you don''t need to make it so fine." Ryan ate a few pieces in succession, and the taste was really good, much stronger than the ones Peter Jackson had just handed him. "It tastes great!"


    After hearing his words, Charlize, who had been staring at Ryan, showed a bright smile.


    "Don''t you eat?"


    Holding the stainless steel tray, Ryan moved towards her, but Charlize Theron didn''t move, just opened his mouth lightly, and his gray-blue eyes were looking forward to his eyes.


    Ryan smiled helplessly, did not hesitate, grabbed the toothpick on the barbecue, and sent it into the two rosy lips.


    "Do you need me to feed you?" Charlize Theronnu leaned in front of Ryan with his mouth.


    Lips stained with oil, under the reflection of the fire, flashing red light, looks particularly attractive. Ryan was very moved, but still endured it. It was one thing for the crew to maintain a tacit understanding. He openly followed This diamond is affectionate, that''s another matter.


    "Stop it, Charlie." Ryan simply took a can of beer and stuffed it. "They''re all looking at us."


    "Conservative! Male chauvinism!"


    Charlize murmured, pulled the beer away, and took a big sip with his head up, as bold as a man.


    Ryan completely understood that the bones of this beautiful diamond were all wild from Africa.


    "Hey, hey, hey!"


    Sir Ian McLean, the oldest member of the Ring Team, suddenly stood up. Although the huge bonfire made him a little far away from Ryan, his hearty voice still came over, "I propose that we have a toast together for Our friendship!"


    Hollywood crews generally don''t have a very harmonious atmosphere, and most actors are just treated as jobs, but the Fellowship squad worked together and established a fairly good relationship.


    At this time, including Peter Jackson and his wife, the people surrounding the campfire toasted together.


    "For our friendship!"


    After drinking, the guys threw the empty cans into the sky, causing a strange cry of dissatisfaction around them.


    "For our love!"


    Charlize Theron drew another beer, touched Ryan''s juice, poured it into his stomach, and pointed to the swaying crowd in the distance, "Honey, shall we go dancing?"


    There are a large number of New Zealand employees in the crew, many of whom are descended from Maori, and dancing has always been their repertoire.


    "You drank too fast, Charlie."


    As if to cooperate with Ryan''s words, Charlize immediately burped a little alcohol, waved his hand, and said indifferently, "This is nothing, I have a lot of alcohol."


    "Come onCome on."


    She was very excited. She stood up and took Ryan''s hand. Ryan swept around. There were no more people. Those guys who had been drunk, pulled their female companions, and either went dancing or doing other hidden things. Things are up.


    "Ryan~" Charlize''s pretty face leaned in front of him again, blowing lightly at him.


    The faint smell of wine filled Ryan''s nose. Although he didn''t like it very much, it was mixed with the unique scent of South African diamonds, and it didn''t smell that annoying.


    Shaking his head, Ryan stood up and followed Charlize to the distant crowd.


    In the slightly weird music, Ryan and Charlize followed the way of everyone, holding hands and twisting their waists, calling out, ¡®Haka! Haka! ¡¯, while dancing the specious Maori war dance.


    Perhaps it was excitement, or perhaps the hot atmosphere on the scene raised the temperature. The South African diamond twisted her body and took off her small leather jacket outside. The tight V-line shirt was tightly tightened on the curvy body, rubbing from time to time. With Ryan''s body...(To be continued.

 Chapter 398： For our love

    Hearing the gasp coming from behind the bushes, Ryan pulled Charlize Theron quickly away from the place. As soon as he walked to the rock beside the stable, the underwear scattered on the ground reminded them that this place was also occupied.


    Just like all rave parties in Hollywood, there will always be more wild ducks afterwards, and taking the initiative to avoid is also the default rule.


    "Shall we go back to the trailer, Charlie?"


    Charlize Theron hung slantingly on his body. After giving Ryan a lingering kiss, Grid smiled and said, "No, I don''t want to, let''s go to the wild!"


    She rolled her eyes, her slender hands flicked back and forth on Ryan, and said charmingly, "My dear, why don''t we be here..."


    Ryan looked around, except for the stables, there were almost no obstructions. He didn''t want to be appreciated, so he pulled up the excited Charlize and walked into the stables.


    "Is it here? The smell is a little worse." Charlize wrapped Ryan as if he had no bones. "I have never tried it in a stable."


    "Stand up, Charlie!"


    Charlize Theron, who was excited by alcohol, showed the wild and indifferent side of his bones.


    Finding the corresponding harness, Ryan quickly armed Brigo, and reached out to Charlize.


    "Wow, wow, is it right now." Charlize was still yelling excitedly after being pushed on the horse by Ryan, "Hurry up, Ryan."


    Turning on his horse, Ryan held Charlize''s waist with one hand, and shook the rein with the other. Brigo shook his hoof, rushed out of the stable, and quickly moved away from the crew''s station.


    "I can''t wait any longer, Ryan." Charlize turned his head when the horse was slower. Soft lips kept falling on Ryan''s cheeks and neck, "Since that time, I have endured it until now, Ryan, do you know how much I miss you?"


    One of her hands, slowly stroking the saddle, stretched out to the rear.


    "Charlie, do you want us both to fall?" Ryan couldn''t help but glared at her. Charlize didn''t care at all, and kept laughing crisply. "It''s better to fall from a horse, so we don''t have to go back."


    "Briego!"


    Ryan made a whistle, and the Zao Hong Ma expertly turned into the woods where he often practiced swordsmanship, flexibly avoided the big trees blocking the road, and quickly came to the open field.


    "This is a good place."


    He had just reined in, Charlize could not wait any longer, "Hurry up and let me down."


    After jumping off the horse, Ryan directly put Charlize Theron on his shoulder and slipped from the saddle leather bag. He drew out a blanket of pure wool, patted Pbrigo on the neck, let it search for food nearby, and strode towards the flat grass.


    "Let me down. Quickly let me down."


    This position is definitely not comfortable, Charlize Theron twisted and struggled a few times, Ryan patted her butt, and put her down.


    "Wow. Honey, you seem to be prepared." The first thing Charlize saw was the blanket in Ryan''s hands.


    "What to prepare?"


    Having reached the destination, Ryan stopped. Mocking Charlize¡¯s chin, just about to kiss him, the South African Diamond gently pushed him away, pointed to the blanket he threw on the ground and said, "Honey, tell me the truth, during my absence, Do you often bring girls out?"


    "Charlie..." Ryan''s face was covered with black lines.


    "There are a few, let me guess."


    Without waiting for Ryan¡¯s words to be spoken, Charlize stamped a hard mark on his lips and continued to say with a sweet smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Ryan, I won¡¯t care. This is the norm in Hollywood, who is it? The blonde and long-legged female models that Peter found? I can call her out to play together someday...


    Although there are many couples or couples in Hollywood, they really do their own things, and even some will bring others together, such as Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore in previous lives, but women can say this kind of thing. really?


    If Charlize''s so-called carelessness is taken seriously, Ryan would really be the fool he imagined.


    This kind of words should be temptation, Ryan simply turned a deaf ear, and could only sigh inwardly, why didn''t one of the three women who were tempted by him was a fuel-efficient lamp?


    If they have Madonna''s style, it is estimated that they will not have a headache.


    But if they are really Madonna''s affiliation, would they still be tempted? The answer is self-evident.


    "Don''t tell me for such a long time, you haven''t looked for other women."


    Because of certain experiences in the past, Charlize knew very well that once a man had an impulse, he would really become an animal thinking only with his lower body. She lay on Ryan¡¯s shoulder and slowly blew into his ears. "Don''t be so stingy, tell me how you solved it."


    Ryan pushed her head back, and after laying out the blanket, sat on it for himself, the depression in her heart can be imagined.


    A short leather jacket was thrown on his head. When Ryan took off the clothes, the tight-fitting sweater, slim-fit jeans, and long leather boots landed near him. Charlize''s exposed skin was more than The moonlight falling from the sky is still brighter.


    "Want to see it? Do you want it?" The South African Diamond walked up to him and raised Ryan''s chin again. "Then tell me the answer."


    "Do you really want to know?" Ryan''s face seemed ugly.


    "of course."


    The light in the gray-blue eyes flashed away, and no one except the owner could detect it at all.


    Ryan was silent, raised his right hand, and made a flexible movement with five slender fingers. Charlize Theron was taken aback for a moment, then covered his mouth and laughed, squatting on the ground.


    "My dear, is it funny?"


    The smooth and delicate skin was dangling in front of his eyes, and Ryan couldn''t bear it, holding the beautiful diamond in front of him, "You know, Charlie, you can be punished to laugh at people."


    After finishing speaking, without waiting for Charlize to answer, he pressed her on the blanket with both hands, pressing her whole body on her smooth back.


    Ryan''s movements looked fierce, but in fact he was cautious, for fear that it would really hurt Charlize, he gently kissed Charlize''s long neck and shoulders, his hands kept walking around her body.


    "Ryan...Ryan!" Charlize was obviously emotional, turned his head, and after a long and deep kiss with Ryan, said decisively, "Dear, we have a whole night."


    It was unrealistic for a whole night. Although it was not too cold in Queenstown in September, it was hardly warm. After the two of them consumed their extra energy and vented most of their passion, they naturally felt the cold of spring. .


    Charlize Theron wrapped the blanket tightly and unceremoniously pushed Ryan onto the grass of the gangster, and then lay on his chest, deliberately adding a bit of strength to revenge for being pressed by him. Falling on the blanket, completely passive and full of hatred.


    "It feels so good." Charlize''s teeth, biting his thick chest lightly, "Ryan, after returning to Los Angeles, shall we move in together?"


    With her gray-blue eyes looking at him expectantly, Ryan lowered her eyes slightly, "You know, Charlie, I often fly around and don''t spend much time in Los Angeles."


    Despite the inevitable disappointment in her eyes, Charlize quickly threw this emotion aside. She knew what kind of attitude to use to face this man, and what means to use to hold his heart. .


    Although she is confident about her looks, there are countless women in Hollywood who are more beautiful than her. Many women deliberately dangle in front of Ryan at some parties. Why is he not tempted by them?


    I rely on more than just being beautiful.


    "Then it''s okay." Charlize didn''t want to put any pressure on him.


    Supporting Charlize¡¯s back with one hand and taking care of the somewhat scattered golden ponytail with the other, Ryan could only sigh in his heart, although the time he was really together was not long, and the South African Diamonds deliberately tried him just now. But by comparison, she knows how to accommodate him far better than Nicole and Natalie.


    A gust of night wind blew through, and Ryan''s body, which was not very cold-resistant, couldn''t help shaking slightly.


    "Is it cold?"


    Charlize Theron immediately noticed, let go of the blanket, and wrapped the two people tightly together, "Is it warm now?"


    "Exercise will make it warmer." Feeling the beautiful body above, Ryan was ready to move.


    "Don''t, is that okay?" Charlize thought of his red and swollen **** and pressed hard against Ryan to prevent him from moving. "Hold me, Ryan."


    Ryan picked up Charlize, placed her next to a smooth poplar tree, wrapped her in a woolen blanket, picked up all the clothes that were thrown everywhere, and after tidying up herself, Dress Charlize carefully.


    The South African Diamond enjoys the services of his lover, like a boneless fish, let Ryan fiddle with it, only when his hand touches a sensitive area, he hums twice and looks lazy. , And as cute as a Persian cat.


    Of course, from the perspective of Ryan''s previous life, this is indeed a very beautiful blonde Persian cat.


    After the lingering woman, she always looked unusually coquettish. On the way back, Charlize was almost completely dependent on Ryan''s arms If he didn''t hold her, this diamond would definitely roll off the saddle.


    "I''m leaving tomorrow. Happiness is always so short." She murmured.


    For Hollywood stars, gathering less and more often is commonplace, and it is also their greatest enemy.


    "Do you have any movies to make this year?" Ryan asked concerned.


    "No, I''m going back to South Africa with my mother." Charlize almost turned around. Ryan thought for a while and said, "The law and order over there is not very good. I will ask George to contact some bodyguards for you. "


    "Okay." Charlize nodded.


    She knew that Ryan had a large and professional bodyguard team.


    "To our love, cheers."


    There is no wine here, Charlize gave Ryan a deep kiss and cheers in an alternative way.

 Chapter 399： Type piece

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! The filming of this trilogy is a long one. Two weeks after Charlize Theron left the crew, Ryan returned In Los Angeles, he owed Tom Hanks a favor in "Legend of Life" in Los Angeles. Although Colin Hanks was given the opportunity to act as the hero of "Reaper Is Coming", now that he has time, it is natural to have time. Attend the premiere.


    For this eldest son, Tom Hanks used the contacts he accumulated over the years, coupled with the great help of Jenkins Pictures, and invited many celebrities in the circle to come and join him.


    "Yes, Colin is very good, I think he will build his own success in the future."


    At the end of the red carpet, Ryan talked freely in the face of reporters¡¯ questions. Although the subject of discussion was older than his age, no matter who it was, he took it for granted that he was qualified to comment, ¡°What? Of course it¡¯s not because of me and Tom¡¯s friendship, after you watch this movie, you will definitely not have such thoughts again. In my eyes, he is Colin Hanks first, and then Tom¡¯s son."


    Ryan was almost advocating for Colin Hanks anyway, without having to pay for a few good words.


    As for whether Colin Hanks could match his actor father, even half of Big Tom''s in the future, that was not within Ryan''s consideration.


    After dealing with the reporter casually, Ryan walked into the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, and Tom Hanks greeted him directly, "Hi, Ryan."


    "Oh, God." Ryan hugged him, then moved a little apart, and after looking up and down, he said, "Tommy. You''re fat again."


    "I haven''t exercised much lately, I''ve been idle..." Tom Hanks made a gesture that you understand.


    "Are you sure you want to adapt that drama to Steven?" The two sides have never broken contact. Ryan naturally knew what Tom Hanks was doing.


    "Yes." Big Tom nodded, "The entire project has been finalized, and the script is currently being written. Stephen''s plan is to wait for "Pearl Harbor" to be released before starting the game."


    After hearing this familiar title again, Ryan shook his head. Preparations for this film began last year, and it has not yet been shot.


    "Is there any interest in investing?" Tom Hanks said again, "Our initial plan is to adapt it into 15 episodes. It is estimated that the investment will be at least 100 million US dollars."


    "You know, Tom, I don''t know much about TV dramas." Ryan is a complete layman for American dramas, even if the other party''s TV series is definitely "Brothers", "I need the team below to make an assessment."


    In the memory of previous lives, there is no information about this TV series, nor has Ryan. The only information that is known is from this world.


    Last year, during the promotion of "Saving Private Ryan", a veteran who had participated in "World War II" personally presented Tom Hanks with the documentary "The Company of Brothers". After reading it, Tom Han was deeply moved. Cox gave the book to Steven Spielberg. The two hit it off and decided to change it into a TV series.


    Friendship is friendship, business is business, Tom Hanks understands this, and after discussing a few words with Ryan. Go to greet other guests.


    Ryan took a turn around the court and greeted people familiar or unfamiliar. After looking for Colin Hanks, he walked over directly.


    "Colin."


    Saying hello to Tom Hanks'' eldest son, Ryan approached him and asked curiously, "Drew, why are you here?"


    After that, he was gossiping about Colin Hanks again, wouldn''t these two people get together?


    "It''s not what you think."


    After all, it was an old friend, and Ryan did not make a cover, Drew Barrymore easily got his idea, "I played a cameo in this movie."


    Ryan nodded. This is normal. Who made Colin Hanks the son of Tom Hanks? It''s not surprising that Spielberg''s goddaughter will make a cameo in his movie.


    "Colin also played a role in "Charlie Girl". Drew added.


    "Oh, which role?" After setting up the outline of the movie, Ryan threw it to Drew, and basically didn''t ask about it since the project was established.


    "Big villain!" Drew chuckled, "I wasted a lot of saliva before I took Colin to play."


    This guy! Ryan shook his head. There is no doubt that Drew Barrymore is a qualified businessman who knows how to maximize profits.


    The daughter of the super-rich, coupled with the son of the Oscar double actor, can definitely attract the attention of many people.


    As for acting skills, is there room for acting in a movie like "Charlie Girl"?


    "Where is Paris?" Ryan thought of the pink fairy.


    "The crew is off, and she''s back to New York." Drew showed a complaining look, "Ryan, this movie also has your investment, won''t you come to the set?"


    "I feel at ease with you, Drew."


    If it''s other things, Ryan might be worried about this guy making a mess, but she must be very responsible for business matters.


    After all, if the movie fails, he will lose at most a little money and Drew will go bankrupt.


    How sad is it for a bankrupt Hollywood star? Mr. Tom Cruise, who has been dismissed as part of a B-level film, is a very good example.


    That guy owes so many debts, when will the B-rated film be paid off? Maybe I should find someone to point him to a avenue, a bright avenue leading to the San Fernando Valley.


    "What are you thinking about, Ryan?" After Colin Hanks walked away, Drew asked curiously, "You look like a calculation, I don''t know which guy is going to be unlucky again."


    "I''m thinking..." Ryan deliberately prolonged the ending, and when Drew showed a curious look, he said seriously, "I''m thinking, Drew, if you go bankrupt, you should sell you to Africa. Well, it¡¯s better to sell Mexico to repay the debt."


    "I''m worthless." Drew Barrymore didn''t hesitate to devalue himself, and pulled Gwyneth Paltrow just passing by. "It''s better to sell our new Oscar queen to Somalia. It will definitely sell for a lot of money."


    "Drew!" Gwyneth glared at her. "You two are fooling around, don''t drag me in."


    When she turned around, she immediately put on a big smile, "Hey, Ryan, it''s been a long time."


    "Gwyneth, aren''t you going to have a treat?" After all, she was an old friend she knew when she was a teenager, and Ryan was not welcome.


    "Of course." Gwyneth Paltrow nodded immediately, "As long as you have time, my celebration party can be held at any time."


    Despite being criticized by countless media as the most untrue Oscar best actress in the past two decades, Gwyneth took a big step forward in her career after she took the gold. Not the straight-up salary, it was only tens of millions. Several endorsement contracts have been signed, and they will definitely be in the forefront of this year''s Hollywood female star income rankings.


    Why are so many people desperately chasing Oscars, not hesitating to invest a huge amount of public relations expenses in it, because it is not only famous, but also advantageous.


    And the word fame and fortune is not synonymous with this circle.


    Gwyneth only stood for a short time and left. She knew very well that she was not like Drew. In addition to having a good relationship with Ryan, she also had the interests of being entangled with each other, although she was also one of the shareholders of Flower Pictures. One, it is a shareholder who has no right to speak.


    "Are you not going to have a girlfriend yet, Ryan?" Drew winked at him. "I listen to Paris''s tone and have a good impression of you..."


    "Stop, Drew." Ryan interrupted her with a wave of his hand. "Frankly, I already have a girlfriend."


    "Who?" Drew approached very gossiping, "I promise, I will never reveal it to the outside."


    "This is a secret!" Ryan turned and walked towards the theater, waving his hand to the back.


    Before entering the screening hall, Ryan met the director of the film, and he beckoned, "Hello, James."


    "Hello, Ryan." James Huang shook his hand and walked forward together.


    "If this movie is filmed for the next episode, would you be interested in continuing to direct it?" This kind of movie is used to make money.


    Chinese-American directors, unless like Lee Ang, have a deep foundation and a wide range of contacts formed at New York University, it is too difficult and too difficult to lead a crew.


    James Huang hardly thought about it, and verbally agreed to Ryan. This kind of opportunity was equally rare for him.


    Strictly speaking, although the tomato sauce sprinkled in this movie is much less, it still does not completely deviate from the category of American tomato sauce.


    But The concept of the movie is very unique, different from the general American horror-there is no death in the film, let alone the violent scenes used in American horror, but through tense music and constant black shadows. , Yinfeng and the strange ways of death give people fear from the bottom of their hearts.


    The design of the death mode imposes the impermanence and helplessness of life on everyone, and the audience is easy to have a sense of substitution; and the failure of the protagonists'' self-redemption also conveys to the audience a deep despair and a sense of fear.


    Of course, the carefully designed coincidences and Eastern mysticism will definitely attract criticism from film critics.


    But the film selections are released during this schedule and are aimed at horror film lovers. The vast majority of the world''s most popular horror films will attract strange verbal abuse from film critics. The number of criticisms has increased, and the effect has plummeted.


    The total investment of the movie is 30 million US dollars, but nearly 3,000 theaters have been used. As long as the box office in the first week is not too outrageous, profit is almost predictable, and this type of film is the easiest to cultivate a fixed audience. Lay the audience foundation for the sequel. Dingtianju dtxsj your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users, please read the first an.

 Chapter 400： People who have seen god

    If "Reaper Is Coming" is released ten years or even five years earlier, the possibility of failure is far greater than success. After all, there is a huge difference between the Western and Eastern ways of thinking.


    Ryan still remembers that in 1995, Lionsgate had commissioned Garcia¡¯s survey and consulting company to conduct a questionnaire survey in North America. Among the questionnaires returned, more than 70% of horror films were reported. Fans still think that the more people die in the movie, the more terrifying, the more **** the more terrifying.


    In recent years, with the popularization of the Internet in North America, the transmission of information has shown explosive growth. Many things from the East, like Jack Chen¡¯s movies and Baige Wu¡¯s violent aesthetics, have gradually been attracted to American audiences. As we know, culture brings not only differences, but also mystery.


    Mystery is sometimes very attractive.


    In addition, Tom Hanks is a representative of American men in the 1990s. He has many hard-core supporters in North America, and some of them want to see how Big Tom¡¯s son is better than his father.


    Because of the long lifespan of this series, Ryan also specifically checked the information in his previous life. He vaguely remembered that there were only 600 theaters in the first week of the movie, but he got a box office of 10 million US dollars. At first glance.


    Although it is still a genre movie in this world, Ryan''s past achievements have become the most convincing evidence. As long as the hope of profit can be seen, those theater owners don''t care what type of movie it is.


    "In the first week, there were 2,950 theaters with a box office of 36.52 million U.S. dollars."


    Ryan is sitting in Jenkins Pictures¡¯ own office. Although the company¡¯s chairman is Nicole, everyone knows who is the real owner of this company. "So, Tommy, don¡¯t worry. Your investment will be recovered a lot, and maybe you will be able to see profit in two weeks."


    "I never worried about the box office."


    Tom Hanks, who was sitting opposite, took the document handed over by Ryan, and quickly flipped it through, "Do you have any good suggestions for Colin''s development?"


    Ryan couldn''t help but sighed a pity for the parents of the world. When Colin Hanks stepped into this business, Tom Hanks was worried that his son would not be popular. Now a movie has completely gained fame, and he is worried about becoming a youth idol. , Unable to successfully transform.


    From him. Ryan couldn''t help thinking of Nicole ten years ago. At that time, the Australian girl worked hard for him. When he escaped, he worried that he would become more and more lawless because he was too naughty. When he was quiet, he was afraid that he would shut down if he had no friends. ...


    As for Colin Hanks, in the last year of his previous life, the other party hadn''t become popular one week after the release of "Reaper Is Coming", and received media attention more because he was Tom Hanks'' son.


    Sometimes, having such a successful dad is also a kind of sadness.


    but. Tom Hanks was also sighed with such a sentence. He didn''t expect Ryan to answer. As an actor who climbed from the lowest level to the top step by step, he has much more experience in this area than Ryan.


    "How are you thinking about the investment in "Brothers"?" Tom Hanks changed the subject.


    DreamWorks invested heavily in "Pearl Harbor." This series will definitely adopt financing and filming, and Ryan, who has a good investment and rarely interferes with the normal operation of the crew, is naturally the most popular target.


    "Let''s do it. Tommy, the North American box office profit of "Death Is Coming" will be used as an investment in this series."


    Ryan''s team was busy for a few days. The results have been obtained. Although there are still uncertainties, at least the costs can be recovered, right?


    Sending away Tom Hanks, Ryan sat back in his office chair, thinking about the TV series.


    There is no doubt that successful TV dramas are also the big profit, and in the way of Hollywood production, when TV drama ratings drop and cannot bring profit, just cut it off.


    There are many successful American dramas in the past life. Unfortunately, he has only heard of a part of the titles, and he hasn''t even watched it. Jenkins Films has not been involved in the production of this aspect. For the sake of safety, after hearing familiar names, only The investment is good.


    Presumably, the American dramas that I can remember the name should be the hot ones in the past life.


    Ryan quickly discarded the idea of ??American dramas. Movies are his main business and the direction of future development. Although in terms of making money alone, Jenkins Pictures has not made profits from movies and derivatives during the years since its establishment. A lot of money is made from the stock market.


    Although it is incomparable with the seven major film companies, and Ryan did not think of comparing or surpassing them, but after these years of development, Jenkins Pictures does stand in a very high position among the second-tier Hollywood film companies, especially It is a series of movies that can be sustained and profitable in hand.


    The earliest "Home Alone" series was originally sold to Touchstone Pictures with the copyright, and now it has become a TV movie for the Disney TV Children''s Channel.


    "Jurassic Park" series, "Screaming" series, "Screaming" series, "Mission Impossible" series, "Reaper is coming" series, and "Terminator" acquired after the acquisition of Carlock Pictures "Series and so on, these are the guarantee of future profitability.


    There will also be a series of animated films from Blue Sky Studio and Pixar Studios.


    In addition, Tina Fei¡¯s editorial team is adapting the original "Very Little Spy" in "The Ryan Story", and it will start shooting next year at the latest. Movies for all age groups are low-input and high-output. typical.


    Maybe you can bring Tyler and tomboys together and shoot a "Very Little Secret Agent". When they grow up, they will definitely catch their eye.


    This is definitely a good idea.


    There was an aggressive knock on the door, and Melanie Sloan pushed in and walked in, still with a trace of anger on his face.


    "Ryan, Polanski still disagrees with the film''s premiere in North America." She sat across from Ryan, "He insisted on attending the Cannes Film Festival next year."


    The films participating in the competition of the Cannes Film Festival must be premiered during the festival. Ryan can''t wait for that time. He has no interest in European film festivals, and "The Pianist" is not for the Cannes Film Festival.


    "Can''t communicate?" Ryan asked.


    In order to win the approval of the director, Roman Polaski, Jenkins Pictures paid great sincerity and even delayed the release of the trailer for this reason.


    Melanie Sloan shook her head slowly but firmly. She is a relatively mild-tempered person. If Julis Stewart, who is in charge of the movie, is replaced, it is estimated that she will have turned her face with the old man.


    "If that''s the case, then put him aside." Ryan also called himself, Roman Polanski showed the stubborn side of European filmmakers.


    The power of Hollywood films is always in the hands of the producer, not the director. I have communicated repeatedly with him, but the other party disagrees, so I can only do so.


    Couldn''t he or Julius run to France and beg Polanski to nod?


    After talking to Ryan a few words about the trailer, Melanie Sloan went out to prepare to release the trailer as soon as possible.


    Checking the time, Ryan picked up the phone and pressed Natalie''s mobile phone number. The Long Island girl was far away in Cambridge, Boston.


    "Ryan, when are you coming?"


    After the call was connected, Natalie''s complaining voice was the first to ring, "You said you would accompany me to report at Harvard, but as a result, there is still no figure in sight."


    "That..." When Natalie started school, it happened to be the time when Ryan was injured. "Nat, how about college life?"


    "Want to hear the truth or lies?" She looked very interested.


    "Let''s tell the lie and the truth." Ryan also has the consciousness of cooperation.


    "The lie is that Harvard even has the breath of knowledge in the air, which makes people fall into it, deeply intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves."


    "What about the truth?" Ryan asked again.


    "My new classmates are too naive, and they are too curious. They surrounded me every day for the first few weeks of school, chatting non-stop, and some of your fans asked me to forward your letters!"


    "The charm of Queen Amidala is really endless."


    "Please call me Natalie, thank you!" Natalie was obviously gritting her teeth to remind.


    "Now, they should adapt to your existence?" Ryan threw her reminder aside, "Dear Nat."


    "Well, now there are fewer curious people, but more flies."


    "Your suitor?"


    "Are you nervous, Ryan?" Natalie laughed. "I now understand how you felt. The flowers and letters you receive every day must be packed in the largest schoolbag."


    "Do you need me to send someone to collect garbage?"


    "Hey, the guy opposite, you''d better come here quickly, or your girlfriend will be robbed." Another woman''s voice came vaguely from the phone.


    "Emily, shut up!" This was Natalie''s voice.


    Ryan frowned and asked, "Is that your roommate?"


    "Yeah Emily is an advanced graduate student at Radcliffe College." Natalie introduced a few words, "I also published a collection of poems."


    "Ryan, when will you come to see me? If you are late..." Natalie said deliberately, "If I can''t tell, I will be chased away."


    "Really, dear Nat." Ryan seemed to be joking. "Apart from me, there is only one man who can catch you!"


    "who?"


    "People who have seen God!"


    "Humph~" Natalie''s nasal voice rang on the phone, and then she asked again, "When are you coming over?"


    "Soon, I promise!"


    Putting down the phone, Ryan thought for a while, and if no surprises, Natalie would stay at Harvard for four years, and he picked up the phone again.


    "George, is the house that Boston bought has been decorated!" (To be continued...)

 Chapter 401： Cambridge City

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! As early as when I was in Boston to promote "Terminator 2", Ryan wanted to visit Harvard University, but unfortunately Even if he didn¡¯t make a trip today, after he set foot on the land in Cambridge, he did not go to Harvard the first time. Instead, he went to the villa he bought and opened the blue Maserati prepared for Natalie. After a small circle around Cambridge, he stopped in front of Harvard. One second to remember "" the hottest novel update is the fastest


    The history of Cambridge can be traced back to 1630. It was founded by British Puritans who settled in Boston. It is as famous all over the world as Cambridge, because it is home to two world-famous universities, Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is said that among the more than 700 Nobel Prize winners around the world, Cambridge has trained more than 100.


    Putting on a baseball cap and stuck a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, Ryan walked into the Harvard campus. Perhaps when he was young, he was very interested in visiting this world-famous university, but now he went directly to Genna. Tally arranged an on-campus cafe.


    Because it was during class time, there were not many people in the cafe. Ryan ordered a cup of coffee at random, sat in a quiet corner, and waited patiently for the Long Island girl.


    Just like in her previous life, Natalie chose clinical psychology, and before entering Harvard, her two papers were also published in well-known academic journals. Together with the National Scholar Award she won, it can be said that she became a Hollywood star. The alternative.


    When she first entered Harvard, she also caused a small sensation. After all, Queen Amidala did not choose Hollywood after graduating from high school, but chose to continue her studies, which exceeded many people''s expectations.


    But here is Harvard. There have been countless people, celebrities, and rich. Although movie stars are few and far between, the effects of Natalie quickly recovered.


    This can be seen from the free shuttle of Long Island girls on campus and casual conversations with classmates around them.


    After she entered the cafe with a book in her arms. Soon I found Ryan''s location, walked over and sat on the opposite side, threw the book on the table, and lied on it regardless of the image.


    "You are very leisurely." Her dissatisfaction was clear.


    "Hey, Nat." Ryan took off his sunglasses and hat and opened his hands to explain, "I was out in New Zealand..."


    It''s just that he was interrupted by Natalie before he finished speaking. "Well, Ryan, it''s not the first time you let me dove."


    After speaking, she directly picked up the coffee cup in front of Ryan, took a big sip, and stared at him for a while. Suddenly laughed.


    "I just want to show you some color..."


    When Natalie said so, Ryan could only helplessly spread his hands, "Then you are satisfied now?"


    Wrinkled her nose, Natalie didn''t say anything, she quickly put her hat and sunglasses on for Ryan, picked up her book again, stood up and beckoned.


    "Let''s go. I will show you around Harvard."


    The two of them walked leisurely on the campus at a proper distance. Some people they met would pay attention from time to time. After all, Natalie is a celebrity at Harvard. Although Ryan has dressed up, she takes a closer look. If it is, it is not difficult to recognize it.


    Ryan didn''t care much, like news such as that he and Natalie had been secretly dating. It has been promoted by many gossip tabloids a few years ago, but they can''t even get a decent picture. There are too many hype, and no one believes it.


    Natalie obviously didn''t want people to see the relationship between her and Ryan. She always kept a distance between her friends. Apart from introducing famous buildings such as the Harvard Library to Ryan, she rarely talked.


    "Don''t you take me to visit your dormitory?" After going around for a while. Ryan asked.


    "I have an agreement with my roommate that I can''t take my male partner back without the other party''s consent." Perhaps a little tired, Natalie gave Ryan the book she was holding. "Didn''t you buy a villa outside? Let''s go to your place."


    "You are so stingy, Nat." Ryan can only take the lead and walk outside the school.


    "Do you want to make friends with me in a place like the dormitory?" Natalie couldn''t see Ryan''s thoughts, "Don''t even think about it."


    "Is it enough to lock the door?" Ryan whispered.


    "Don''t forget, I have a roommate, Emily has a big mouth." Natalie''s evaluation of the roommate is not very high, "I will take you back, if she sees it, it will definitely spread throughout Radek tomorrow Reeve College, the two of us will be on the front page headlines!"


    "Alright alright."


    Ryan raised his hand, he was just naturally curious about the female dormitory, "Let''s go back to the villa."


    Coming to the parking lot outside the school, Natalie watched Ryan open the door of the blue sports car for herself, looked at it curiously, and then sat in.


    "Limited edition?" After Ryan started the car, she said strangely, "Aren''t you not interested in cars?"


    "Give it to you." Ryan is really not too cold about luxury cars and the like. "This is not a limited edition. I directly asked the manufacturer to order it. It is unique."


    "Then I''m welcome." Natalie suddenly remembered some of the things Ryan had mentioned on the phone some time ago, and asked, "Did you still order yachts and planes?"


    "The order for the yacht has been placed, and the plane has not yet decided whether to choose Boeing or Airbus."


    As early as this year''s Oscars ceremony, Ryan asked Pai Kingsley to place an order for two yachts of about 450 feet from Brunswick Group.


    "If you need it, I''ll place an order for you." Ryan glanced at Natalie, and the Long Island girl rolled her eyes and said, "I''m still a student, Ryan."


    "Well, then wait for you to graduate."


    Although the villa is on the outskirts of Cambridge, it is not too far from Harvard. About ten minutes later, the car drove into the villa''s garage. In addition to this sports car, there was also a white car parked in the garage.


    "You can usually drive this car." Ryan pointed and said when getting out of the car.


    "When did you become attentive?" Natalie circled around and took the lead out of the garage.


    Although this is a small villa, the area of ??the garden is huge, especially the tall evergreen trees planted behind the fence, blocking the outside view.


    After entering the villa, Natalie discovered that the decoration inside was completely arranged according to her habits. Although knowing that it could not be easier to do this with Ryan''s financial resources, it was full of sweetness.


    What else can be happier than those who value themselves?


    "Are you satisfied, dear Nat?"


    Ryan took her face and kissed her white forehead lightly. Natalie stood on her toes, her soft lips touched him, and then there was a long deep kiss, as if to use this kind of speechlessness. The action is the answer.


    "Key!" After the two separated, Natalie unceremoniously stretched out her hand and stuffed the key that Ryan had handed into her bag. "Ryan, don''t mind if I bring my classmates to a carnival here in the future. Party?"


    "As long as you are happy." If Natalie is happy, Ryan will not care if the house is destroyed. "I have hired a special housekeeping company, and they will send someone to clean it every three days."


    Taking Natalie around in the villa¡¯s room, the two went directly into the master bedroom. They hadn¡¯t seen each other for a long time. As long as the male and female couples have a substantial relationship, there is only one way to express their right. Miss each other, vent the enthusiasm that has been accumulated for a long time.


    "All of them treat me as a good card."


    After the room was completely quiet, Natalie lay next to Ryan, telling the experience of college life during this time, "Those male classmates think I am the kind of traditional good girl who will not reject people..."


    "So you use mean words to ridicule those people?" Ryan picked up her long hair, put it on the side of her nose and sniffed it lightly. Natalie glared at him and snatched the hair back." Do you mean you want them to pester me? Or do you wish me to be chased by others?"


    "This shows that my Nat is so charming." Ryan kissed her towering nose.


    "Come on, Ryan, when it comes to charm, there are a few more people who can compare to you." Natalie seemed to think of other things, "I saw Paris when I was back in New York some time ago, and she always hangs you up. On the lips."


    "I promise, Nat." Ryan said with a certain degree of certainty, "I and Paris are just the most ordinary friends."


    Natalie pouted noncommittal, remembering the trailer she had watched some time ago, and asked, "Ryan, is "The Pianist" colder than the original novel?"


    "I watched the trailer yesterday." She added.


    "You can say that." Ryan nodded. "Although it is about the same history, this movie is completely different from the style of "Schindler''s List"."


    After Ryan made the decision, Jenkins Pictures accelerated the release of the film and quickly released the trailer, in which the dark tone and cold atmosphere became the focus of many media discussions.


    Especially in the trailer, there is a scene similar to "Schindler''s List". The Nazi officer shot the Jews with a pistol. The gun had no bullets. The Jews on the ground just showed hope. The Nazi officers had calmly replaced the bullets. Clip, shoot him, there is no fluke.


    "This time the publicity seems to be much worse than before."


    In Natalie¡¯s impression, the pre-publicity of the films that Ryan has starred in in the past can be described as overwhelming.


    "Excessive investment will only cause more losses." Even Ryan himself can''t say that he can recover his film investment in North America.


    The style and genre of the movie have determined that this is not a popular movie. Even if he is the main actor, it is impossible to easily win around 3,000 theaters like a commercial movie, although Paramount Pictures, which is in charge of distribution, is still negotiating. Fight, but Ryan estimates that it would be great to have 500 theaters in the first week.


    Maybe it will become his first film to lose money.

 Chapter 402： 1 plan

    After entering the 1990s, the Walt Disney Group reached its most prosperous stage since its establishment. The animated film launched the "Lion King" that no one can surpass until now. The newly established Hollywood record company only relies on Ryan Jenkins alone. , Has swept the major album sales charts, and got a big cake from the record market. Even the most disadvantaged live-action movies have launched big-selling movies such as "Home Alone" and "Game of the Brave".


    Together with traditional amusement parks and other subsidiaries, it laid the foundation for subsequent development.


    In 1995, the company¡¯s helm, Michael Eisner, used an extremely strong strategy to spend US$19 billion to complete the merger and acquisition of television stations, making Walt Disney a super-large company that can stand alongside Time Walt and Viacom. Media group.


    This acquisition not only temporarily pushed Michael Eisner''s personal reputation to the top, but also further diluted the shares in the Disney family through share swaps, mergers and acquisitions, additional stock issuances, and financing from Wall Street, thereby increasing his own shares. Mastery of the group.


    However, his prestige at the peak did not take long before it fell to the bottom. An animation studio called Pixar launched the first computer animation feature film "Toy Story" two weeks after its launch, which instantly completed the transition from Ugly Duckling to Toy Story. The metamorphosis of the white swan.


    A large sum of proceeds flowed into the pockets of producer Pixar and distributor Paramount. Michael Eisner, who didn''t care about dissolving the partnership with Pixar, became a big laugh in Hollywood.


    Then, because of the undesirable reflections brought about by the acquisitions one after another, the asset reorganization and debt crisis of the TV station became a big problem that plagued Disney, and they also encountered a series of problems in the film.


    Since "Game of the Brave", live-action movies have never seen big-selling works, and even traditional animated movies have been suppressed.


    Especially last year. "Mulan" was completely defeated by "Bug Crisis", Pixar Studios has shaken Disney''s dominance in animation.


    There seems to be a serious problem within this huge empire.


    But Michael Eisner''s ability to develop Disney from a billion-dollar company to an empire with a market value of tens of billions of dollars is naturally beyond doubt.


    After a series of integrations, Disney¡¯s development this year has been on the right track. In particular, the financial support from Wall Street has enabled Michael Eisner to stabilize his position. The TV station has also boosted ratings through the "Millionaire" program. Consolidated the position of the three major television networks.


    This allows Michael Eisner to divert part of his energy from his busy internal affairs and deal with the one who once re-set him. The man who made him laughed at by the whole Hollywood.


    The white battery car drove through the emerald green golf course. Michael Eisner was the first to jump out of the car and ordered a few words to the caddie behind him. The nearby staff left the rest area with great understanding. .


    He sat leisurely under the sun umbrella, sipping afternoon tea casually, as if waiting for someone.


    About ten minutes later, another white battery car stopped and the man driving the car jumped off.


    "Hello, Michael." He sat directly opposite Michael Eisner.


    "Anthony. It''s been a long time. It''s said that you collected a lot of useful things?" Michael Eisner poured a cup of black tea for him.


    "I didn''t expect you to come in person." The other party was a little surprised, "Just contact me on the phone."


    "The phone is not safe, right." Michael Eisner looked at him. The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, "It is true."


    "Our opponent is not an ordinary person." Eisner knocked off the table lightly, seeming to be reminding the other party, and also seeming to remind himself. "He is far from being as simple as his performance. The private means and secrets are no less than any one person. He has invested in a security company. Raising so many professional bodyguards is not just to ensure personal safety, right?"


    "You''re right." The man named Anthony took out a bag of papers and handed it over. After Michael Eisner opened it, he said, "My paparazzi followed him for two full years and didn''t collect it. Too useful things. He values ??himself and the people around him very much. Those bodyguards have received targeted professional training."


    He waited for the other party to finish browsing the files before continuing, "We bought a few bodyguards, but we couldn''t get effective information, unless we could buy the guy named George and the personal bodyguards he was in charge of."


    "However, I also got some useful information. Scott Swift should control several trust funds through some means. Ryan Jenkins''s actual wealth far exceeds his apparent net worth."


    "What you said, most people on Wall Street know." Michael Eisner was a little dissatisfied.


    "Don''t worry, Michael." Anthony laughed. "His private life is far from as clean as it seems. I''m sure the relationship between him and Natalie Portman and Charlize Theron is definitely not simple."


    "Even if he is dating these two people at the same time, it''s nothing." Hollywood''s big man, who has few women, even if it is exposed, at most it is a little loss of reputation.


    "And Nicole Kidman. She spent the night at Jenkins Manor several times." The gossip has spread to all mankind since the day of her birth. "A woman who has come to Hollywood and hasn''t had a boyfriend. Is this normal? Although she has a close relationship with Judy Foster and some of her best friends, the media has been hyping that she is very likely to be gay, but I suspect that she has an ulterior relationship with Ryan Jenkins."


    "You mean..."


    "Yes." Anthony''s face was full of excitement, which is enough to make a sensation in the world''s news. "Although there is no evidence, if we stabbed it out, it will definitely cause him a lot of trouble."


    "If this is true..." Michael Eisner slowly knocked on the table, eyes full of calculations, "This is exactly what we can take advantage of."


    The names of Natalie Portman and Nicole Kidman flashed in his mind for an instant. These are people who have been in contact with Ryan Jenkins for more than ten years. If it is against the purpose, is it interesting?


    Nicole Kidman seems to be the second largest shareholder in all of Ryan Jenkins¡¯s industries, right?


    This is really interesting.


    The strongest castles tend to disintegrate from the inside, which makes sense.


    Michael Eisner remained silent. He needed a little time to straighten out his thoughts. For a tough decision-maker like his, as long as he made up his mind, he would push forward firmly.


    The opposite Anthony also remained silent. Although he was not a big man, he knew a truth. Never talk nonsense.


    "Anthony, hold this matter down for the time being, don''t say anything, I need to detonate it at the right time." After a long time, Michael Eisner spoke slowly, "Also, keep people staring at him."


    "No problem." Anthony stood up. "Goodbye, Michael."


    If Nicole Kidman really contradicts Ryan Jenkins, then they will inevitably have a conflict of interest. The seemingly strong alliance of interests will naturally cease to exist. There are also Pai Kingsley and Sco. Te Swift, although he has an excellent relationship with him, Michael Eisner believes that they will also make wise choices in the face of sufficiently tempting interests.


    Just like the small shareholders of Disney who sold shares to some obscure foundations for petty profits.


    As for the Hollywood studios, surely they prefer to squeeze a down-and-out film genius, right?


    Michael Eisner beckoned to the distance, and after the assistant sent a mobile phone and left quickly, he dialed Roy Disney''s phone.


    "Michael, why do you have time to call me?" The voice on the phone was not at all polite.


    "Roy, I hope to get your support on a project." He quickly stated his purpose.


    "Support?" The other party''s voice was slightly mocking.


    Michael Eisner showed rare patience, "I want to start a new acquisition project, a project that will re-emerge the Disney animation department."


    He knows how to impress the representatives of the Disney family in the company, and he also knows the huge common interests that enable the entire Disney to accompany him on the same path.


    Sure enough, the other party hurriedly asked, "What project? The decline of hand-drawn animation has become an irreversible trend..."


    He stopped, seeming to understand something.


    "Pixar, our next target is the Pixar studio!" Michael Eisner said slowly but firmly, "Think about it, if we successfully acquire Pixar, what benefits will it bring to Disney."


    "I need to remind you that Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman have absolute controlling rights in Pixar Despite what the other party says, Michael Eisner can clearly feel his abnormal heartbeat. , "Even if Disney buys all the shares in the market and other people, it can only be a minority shareholder. "


    "Roy, I already have a general plan. I will convene the board of directors in the near future. I need your full support and confidentiality!"


    In fact, Michael Eisner knows that there is a connection between Roy Disney and Ryan Jenkins. He hopes that Disney will restart the cooperation with each other, but if it involves Disney and its own major interests, what will he do? Such a choice can be imagined without guessing.


    Of course, both he and Roy Disney understand that it will take time and opportunity to swallow the fast-growing upstart anime like Pixar Studios.


    He will create opportunities, and he can afford time.


    In addition, before the formal meeting of the board of directors, he also wanted to wait, after all, the more successful Pixar, the easier it is to promote his plan.


    Michael Eisner has never so hoped that Pixar''s upcoming "Toy Story 2" will be a great success. (To be continued...)

    For a long time after that, the crew moved to an abandoned mining farm and filmed the "¡¡" scene chosen by Peter Jackson for the second part-the Battle of Helm Valley.


    The number of people involved in the filming has also reached the highest peak since the start of the film. More than 3,000 cast and crew gathered in this quarry located in the valley. Humans, elves and strong orcs are staged fierce battles here every day. Especially those stuntmen who played strong orcs, constantly resurrected from death, and then died and resurrected...


    The crew has long formed a tacit understanding, as in the past, as long as Ryan comes to the crew, Peter Jackson will give priority to filming scenes related to him, so Ryan stays here until late November, when the Battle of Helm belongs to God Gong''s scene ended early.


    He can also return to North America and enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday in Los Angeles.


    As the third animated feature film of Pixar Studios, "Toy Story 2" was selected for Thanksgiving. This kind of film for all ages is undoubtedly the most suitable for the whole family to watch.


    Ryan quickly passed the red carpet and entered the front hall of the theater. While greeting the invited guests, he walked towards Nicole¡¯s location. The Australian girl was chatting around a dozen or so ten-year-olds. These people are either relatives of Pixar¡¯s management or Warner Records trainees that Taylor brought in through the side door.


    With the successful first episode as a foreshadowing, "Toy Story" is naturally sought after by minors.


    "What are you talking about?"


    When he walked to Nicole''s side, Ryan winked at her, "You seem to be very happy talking."


    "Hello, Ryan."


    Several little guys rushed to greet him. Fortunately, they were all acquaintances, and nothing happened to come up to sign.


    Whether it''s the children of Pixar employees. It was also the trainee of Warner Records that Taylor had brought, and Ryan greeted them one by one, and finally turned his eyes on his own person. He first rubbed the long-haired Christine Stewart¡¯s little head. He said to Scarlett Johansson who was standing next to her, "Hi, Scarlett. How long have we not seen each other? You have grown into a big girl."


    "Ryan, I''m almost fifteen years old, and I''ve grown up a long time ago." The rebellious girl wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, "With a single-wheel body, I have already surpassed Nat."


    "Yeah. You''re really grown up." Kristen looked at her **** and deliberately squeezed.


    "I''m fatter too." Tyler was unwilling to fall behind, and Scarlett''s eyes opened up with anger when she said, "Alison, if you dare to say I''m fat again, I''ll take you last week..."


    "Don''t..." Tyler interrupted her, assuring her like a good baby. "Scarlett, I won''t do it again."


    "Did you get into trouble again, Alison?" Ryan couldn''t help asking curiously.


    "That''s not right." The little girl''s royal blue eyes turned quickly a few times, and pointed to the group of giggling minors behind her, and said, "Ryan, I organized such a big filming group to help you. Could it be you? Don''t you give me some rewards?"


    "Honey. What reward do you want?" Nicole, who had been watching the excitement, said.


    "Ten limited edition Hoodie Cowboys and Buzz Lightyear." Tyler smiled and looked at Ryan. "Can you?"


    "I want a full set of other toys." Kristen Stewart also stretched out a small hand.


    "You two are so naive." Scarlett Johansson quickly distanced themselves from them, "Sure enough, they are both kiddies who haven''t grown up."


    "Hey, Scarlett, how can you say that, don''t think your mind will mature if you have big breasts!"


    "That''s right. Alison was so right."


    "You are heavier now, 120 pounds? Or 130 pounds? Hey, Scarlett, I didn''t say you are fat..."


    "I can prove it!"


    Facing two little girls who sang one sum. Scarlett''s face was blackened with anger, she hummed a few times, and simply left here to chat with other young actors who were attending the premiere.


    "Wow, Alison, we seem to ran away Scarlett."


    "Shut up, Christine, we didn''t say anything."


    Taylor made a shut-up gesture to her, and the tomboy immediately held his mouth and said vaguely, "Oh, we didn''t do anything."


    The three girls have been accustomed to it a few years ago. Ryan and Nicole just watched the excitement quietly. Even if they quarrel, it won¡¯t take long for them to reconcile.


    "Someone is here." Nicole reminded softly, "Roy Disney."


    "Hi, Roy."


    Ryan turned and greeted him, shook his hand and said, "It''s been a long time."


    "It''s really been a long time." Roy Disney seemed to be a little emotional, "Pixar''s development speed is too fast, and the advantages of Disney''s animation department are about to disappear."


    "Didn''t you set up a computer animation production department? With Disney''s background, success is not a difficult thing." This kind of obvious polite words, no one will take it seriously.


    Roy Disney shook his head. Everyone in the Disney family attaches great importance to the animation empire created by Walt Disney, but now they can only watch Disney''s advantage in animation bit by bit. In the entertainment market, the speed of replacement between the old and the new is too fast. I am afraid that within a few years, Pixar Studios will replace Disney''s position and become the new leader of the Hollywood animation industry.


    Who would have thought that a small group of people who split from Industrial Light and Magic could achieve today''s brilliant achievements? Who would have thought that the 50 million US dollars investment of the opposite person could be exchanged for such a generous return...


    I believe it is not only Disney, but other major film companies have the idea of ??acquiring Pixar studios.


    But a man and a woman opposite him, holding an absolute controlling stake in Pixar Studios, want them to give up, is it possible?


    Unless they turn against each other! But how big is this possibility?


    "Hey, Roy, you''re distracted." Ryan is a little strange, Roy? Disney is a man of etiquette, how can he be lost in front of himself and Nicole? He pulled the long-faced young man who had just walked over and introduced, "Roy, this is Peter Dougt of Pixar Studio, and the director of "Monster Electric Company" that Pixar is producing."


    "Peter, I don''t need to introduce this, right?" Ryan looked at the newly emerging Pixar.


    After the two greeted them, Ryan flashed aside with Nicole, and I could still vaguely hear Roy Disney''s request to visit the Pixar studio...


    The Pixar studio adopts an open management, and doesn''t mind that colleagues come to visit.


    "I''m going to say hello to John Lasseter and Ed Camel." Ryan looked at the Pixar core staff who was surrounded by everyone, "Are you together, Nicole?"


    "No need." Nicole shook her head, "I''m in the theater."


    As she said, she pointed to the most lively place in the entire front hall, "I want to watch Tyler and the others order, otherwise they will definitely have a trouble."


    "Toy Story" is the favorite of these little guys. If no one looks at it, only God knows if they will make trouble while watching it.


    Although he has been talking to Peter Dougt, Roy Disney¡¯s eyes have never left Ryan and Nicole. Watching the two whispering and watching their tacit interaction is a long-term life. As a result of the accumulation of feelings, their relationship is so good that it even surpasses most of their brothers and sisters.


    Michael Eisner concealed that he had a way to prevent the two people from maintaining their current close relationship, so that Disney had a chance to get involved with Pixar.


    Yes, he wanted to push Disney to continue to cooperate with Ryan Jenkins, but this has nothing to do with any friendship, but based on the interests of Disney as a whole, and Disney''s interests are closely related to him and the entire Disney family.


    After finishing the conversation with Peter Dougert, Roy Disney greeted several familiar people again, and did not continue to stay in the front hall, but walked directly into the huge projection hall.


    Regarding the success of this film, he cares no less than the senior management of Pixar Studios.


    If Pixar Studio''s three animated feature films have been successful consecutively, it means that they have gradually matured from creative concepts, to technical production, to commercial promotion.


    Such a Pixar studio is the much-needed subsidiary of Disney''s heavy vibration painting industry.


    The movie started soon. When he saw the picture, Roy Disney''s eyes lit up. Although he knew that the core personnel of Pixar were a group of lunatics, he did not expect that their technological progress would be so fast~www .novelhall.com~Last year¡¯s "Bug Crisis", the quality of the whole picture is a step higher than that of "Toy Story" in 1995, and the characters and backgrounds of "Toy Story 2" are more than those of "Bug Crisis" To be a lot better.


    Those lunatics have never slowed down!


    Roy Disney can only sigh with emotion that Pixar Studios is simply a concentration of Hollywood idealists.


    He couldn''t help but think of Michael Eisner''s M&A plan. If it succeeds, Pixar''s technology and philosophy, coupled with Disney''s heritage, will definitely create a giant in animation.


    Concerning the interests of himself and Disney as a whole, Roy Disney made a decision in an instant, even if he was very dissatisfied with Michael Eisner¡¯s control of the board, as long as the plan he proposed was reasonable and could bring his own benefits, he would support it. he!


    Disney''s animation department, since the "Lion King", has sunk for too long, they need to reshape the brilliant opportunity!

 Chapter 404： witness

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "When someone falls in love with me, everything is so beautiful, we stay in every moment we spend together In my heart, when she was sad, I wiped her tears away. When she was happy, I was as happy as her. When she fell in love with me, we had only each other and only me and her for the whole summer..."


    As the cowgirl Tracey recalled her experience of being abandoned, sad songs spread throughout every corner of the theater. One second to remember "" the hottest novel update is the fastest


    The children sat quietly on the chairs, perhaps remembering the toys they had thrown in a corner and they once liked very much.


    The eye sockets of adults are reddish, and some people have water in their eyes. They once abandoned their own Tracey. This moment, this scene, will give them more feelings.


    "Ryan, I..." Taylor said, scratching her golden curls, "I...I think I should sort out the storage cabinet."


    She has many toys and dolls in her hands, most of which are shelved.


    "Me too..." Christine on the other side was also muttering.


    "Why does Pixar always do this?" Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting next to Nicole, rubbed his eyes. "They are about to make me cry."


    "If you want to experience the feeling of love and being loved, you have to let go of your hands and feet and embrace the life you can embrace." Nicole seemed to have feelings, and whispered something to a few girls, "Do what you like to do Even if one day, everything in this world leaves you, there will still be beautiful memories with you... But do you believe that such a life will really end alone? "


    Laughing with tears, using a child''s perspective to tell topics that an adult can''t look at directly, this is the most distinctive feature of Pixar''s work, and it is also a killer for young and old.


    "Toy Story 2" is the opposite of the previous one. This one became Buzz Lightyear leading a toy troop to rescue Hu Di. Same as the previous one. The final rescuer is not others, but the rescuer. Self. I have made a choice, and life is full of accidents. When faced with these accidents, what will eventually become calm is the firm choice of my own value.


    Ryan knows very well that the great success of "Toy Story" and "Bug Crisis" has not only brought confidence to Pixar, but also brought great pressure. The sequel movie is not as good as the previous one. It is almost Hollywood consensus, even if it is a creation The most glorious moment of the animated film "The Lion King". Under Disney''s operation, none of them got rid of this.


    With the full support of Ryan, Pixar Studios withstood the pressure. They insisted on their own ideas. The story and characters of the sequel were made more interesting. The focus of the story was to describe the mental journey when the toy was abandoned by the owner, thus creating The new role of the cowgirl "Jessie".


    The film involves the proposition of abandonment and self-worth. With the help of the fate of toys, it implies an optimistic tendency such as life is short, seizing good opportunities, and glowing. It fully caters to American mainstream values, and with this alone, it will be recognized by the media and the public.


    After all, the majority of people watching this movie are minors. They are the future of America.


    The film came to an end with enthusiastic applause. Ryan asked the bodyguards to send the little friends Taylor brought home, and then got into his own RV, accompanied by the three girls. Nicole also got into the car openly.


    "Why don''t I want to grow up after watching this movie?" Tyler leaned on Nicole, holding his small head in his hands. Very distressed, "Maybe when I grow up, I will also throw away the toys I once liked."


    "You should have thrown it away?" Scarlett still remembered Taylor''s words before the movie started, and then sneered.


    "That''s not right." The little girl was obviously lacking in momentum, weakly defending, "Those limited-edition toys and dolls have been specially collected by me."


    "Throw away those that are not limited editions, right?" Scarlett pointed at the essence of the matter.


    "Well, I admit it." Taylor pursed his lips and retorted, "Scarlett, don''t say you haven''t thrown it."


    "I..." Scarlett was still hesitating, and Christine on the other side said directly, "She threw Barbie, and I saw it with my own eyes."


    "Okay, dears, this is a movie, not a real life." Seeing the three girls started to quarrel again, Nicole had no choice but to stop. "You will all grow up, and you will always lose some of the past when you grow up. This is No one can avoid it."


    "But I don''t want to grow up now." Tyler said with a bitter face, rubbing against Nicole''s shoulder, looking at Ryan, "I suddenly felt that when you grow up, you will not be like you are now. Love me."


    "My dear, do you know that people will grow up, and maybe they will gradually have their own lives." Ryan rubbed her curls vigorously. Over the years, he watched her grow up like a brother. "But, I think I''m very lucky, I haven''t missed every moment of your growth."


    Not everyone can witness with their own eyes how the white swan in the previous life has completed the magnificent transformation.


    Alison, I hope you can grow up healthily, and I hope you don''t become like that in your previous life. Ryan can only wish silently in his heart. Perhaps he had no feelings for the little queen of the country in his previous life, but in this life she grew up by her side and witnessed her growth. She is her favorite sister.


    "Ryan, why have you become sad too?" The little girl always feels very keen, and the tomboy beside her nodded, "I feel it too. Did Ryan abandon his beloved toy before?"


    "Ryan had no toys in his childhood." As soon as Scarlett said what she said, Taylor looked over, "Why I don''t know, you will know?"


    "Because I listened to Nat." Scarlett Johansson said naturally.


    "Nate is a traitor..." Taylor defined the matter without hesitation, "I will call her tomorrow to interrogate the little traitor."


    Probably not wanting to hear the name, Nicole pulled Tyler off of her body and suddenly said, "Who will send home first?"


    "I can''t go home, Austin is sick."


    Every time there is an epidemic of childhood infectious diseases, Taylor''s brother can''t escape, "Mom and Dad said, let me live with you or Ryan for the time being."


    "Well, Alison will come back to Beverly Hills with me." Nicole nodded.


    "Can we go too?" Scarlett and Christine looked at Nicole expectantly, and the Australian girl nodded, "Your mother''s consent is required. I will call them now."


    "Wow, that''s great!" the two girls exclaimed.


    If Nicole called, why would their mother disagree?


    There were a lot of paparazzi behind the RV, and Ryan didn¡¯t mean to get rid of them. He came to the former home, put down Nicole and the three girls, and returned to Jenkins Manor alone. In the next few days, apart from paying attention to Outside of "Toy Story 2", concentrate on practicing riding and swordsmanship. In addition, maintain fitness and increase muscle strength.


    In the next period of time, he will not only continue the role of Aragon, but also the head-to-head "Gladiator" to film.


    After "Toy Story 2" landed in North America across the board, it unsurprisingly occupies most of the Thanksgiving film market, especially in terms of public opinion, with an overwhelming advantage in the praise of the film.


    "Toy Story 2 is the most entertaining movie of 1999. Those interesting and exciting plots easily captured the hearts of the audience."


    -"San Francisco Chronicle"


    "This movie proves that cartoons can be designed with enough genius and ingenuity. And it makes people relaxed and happy. It once again proves the strength of Pixar Studio and the brilliant vision of Ryan Jenkins!


    --"Washington post"


    "There are few movie sequels that can match the previous one. "Toy Story 2" is one of them. Pixar''s increasingly sophisticated computer animation technology also meets all the needs of this excellent adventure film. "


    -"Los Angeles Times"


    "This is a great, lovable entertaining movie, and its story is both wonderful and smart!"


    -"Hollywood Report"


    These four media not only have a very high evaluation of the film, but also extremely rare at the same time give a score of 10-a perfect score is a 10-point.


    The cleverly designed plot and value orientation of the film. It has also been welcomed by the mainstream society. The National Federation of Teachers and Parents even listed this movie as a must-see work for students this year. "Toy Story 2" has not only been welcomed by minors. It has also been highly praised by adults.


    Since the premiere day was selected two days before the Thanksgiving holiday, the box office on the first day of the movie was not very good. Among more than 3,500 theaters, only less than 9 million US dollars were obtained.


    But as the Thanksgiving holiday kicked off, in the next two days, the movie earned a total of more than 33 million US dollars in box office. On Thursday night, when the turkey dinner was opened in Ryan¡¯s Jenkins Manor. , The film recovered more than 40 million U.S. dollars in cost from the North American market.


    The first week is far from over. "Toy Story 2" is bound to set the box office record for the first week of animated moviesPixar Studios once again stood in the focus of the media, becoming the 1999 Thanksgiving Day The most popular topic, almost every family will discuss a few words about Pixar while enjoying a turkey meal, and at the same time envy Ryan''s acquisition that was like a myth.


    Ryan was not idle either. The day before Thanksgiving, he contacted the Swift family, Melanie Sloan and her children, the Stewarts family, Pie Kingsley and her new boyfriend, plus him. And Nicole, come to Jenkins Manor to spend this Thanksgiving together.


    Common interests have created a common front. Ryan''s care for their children has also deepened their friendship. As long as they continue to develop in Hollywood, their future will be closely entangled with Ryan''s future.


    ps: ps: I haven¡¯t asked for a ticket for a long time. What do you have in your hands? Just drop it. Because of the recent busy relationship, it is automatically updated most of the time. Thank you for your continued support. This book is up to now. You can only follow The pre-planned outline has gone on. In the next few years, apart from the movies, there will be conflicts between Disney and emotions. There were too many ideas at the beginning, but I hope it will not be written as scum. . . .

 Chapter 405： Thanksgiving banquet

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please recommend the promotion introduction to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum post it! In the luxurious and spacious restaurant, everyone sat in two long rows at the silver-white long dining table. Not only Julius and Scott and others, but also some people with whom Ryan hasn''t dealt with much.


    For example, Julius¡¯ husband John Stewart, who is the choreographer and stage manager of Fox TV, and their eldest son, the brother of the fake, also sits among a bunch of children.


    Although Melanie Sloan was divorced, several children came here with her. It was the first time for Ryan to meet Scarlett Johansson''s twin brother.


    It¡¯s Pai Jinsli¡¯s new boyfriend. This middle-aged man named Richard Wilson, according to Nicole, is an executive of an investment bank. He has just started dating Jinsli, and he is also here tonight. I tried my best.


    Ryan shook his head. When he came, the other party was more like Jinsli''s temporarily satisfied bed partner.


    Of course, the group with the largest number of children is still the group of children. While having a meal, they are constantly discussing some naive issues in twitter.


    "According to my law, if you have sufficient funds, you can invest in high-tech stocks. As long as you make a shot in the next two or three years, you will definitely be profitable." It is Pai Jinsli''s new boyfriend.


    These people here are the core components of Ryan''s interest group. They are also people with identity, status, and wealth in Hollywood. The topic naturally turned to investment.


    Ryan turned to Jinsli, and the manager lady shook her head slightly.Obviously, her boyfriend didn''t know at all. In the past few years, everyone here has invested a lot of money in it stocks through Ryan''s foundation. This year, with Scott¡¯s sell-off, he also earned back tens of millions of net worth.


    "It is estimated that Pat will break up with him after tonight."


    Nicole is Jinsli''s best friend, and she knows her temperament. Leaning into Ryan''s ear, he lowered his voice and said, "This person''s ability and vision are indeed not worthy of Pat."


    "Okay, my dear. This is Pat''s personal business." Even the best friend, mixing with personal business is an extremely unwise choice.


    Scott over there smiled and helped Ryan deal with the guest. The other party was still talking, and seemed to intend to show off his financial knowledge in front of these people. Jinsli beside him had already frowned. If it wasn''t the Thanksgiving dinner convened by Ryan, I''m afraid it would be turned over.


    Sitting across from Ryan was John Stewart. The fake father had long shawl hair and looked like an artist. Because of the role of Aragon, Ryan has also kept long hair during this time.


    "Nowadays TV stations and Warner have "Friends", TV stations have introduced "Millionaire", Disney TV is mainly aimed at children and teenagers. Fox TV currently lacks its own ace shows, especially in reality shows."


    The two met few times, and the topics were mostly work. John Stewart started with the current Fox TV situation, "We urgently need to change this situation, Ryan, why doesn''t Jenkins Pictures develop into TV production? ?"


    "Jenkins Pictures still focuses on the film business. We don''t have so much energy, nor so many hands to distract from the production of TV series." Ryan shook his head slightly, raised his glass to John Stewart, and continued. "Frankly speaking, I don¡¯t know much about American dramas. Isn¡¯t James currently producing "Dark Angels"? With his ability and vision, he will definitely create popular science fiction dramas.


    "What about reality shows?" John Stewart pointed to his head and said, "Everyone knows that you have endless ideas. Haven''t you considered reality shows?"


    Reality show? Ryan thought for a while. It¡¯s a little bit past in the previous life. Although there are not many people who can leave an impression, there is one way of operation that almost everyone who has lived will understand.


    Because of the song "Because of You", Ryan remembers that the first American Idol champion was won by Kelly Clarkson in 2002, and the introduction to North America was because of the big fire in the UK the previous year, and it is now 1999. For Thanksgiving in 2017, I wonder if the Brits have started to make preparations?


    Well, let someone check it, if not, just register it and turn the copyright into Jenkins Pictures.


    "Did you have a good idea?"


    Seeing Ryan thinking about it, John Stewart felt hope.


    "I came up with a good idea, but it''s not really a big deal..." Ryan took the people present and became strict. The only outsiders are Jinsili''s new boyfriend, but there are too many minors. For the sake of confidentiality, I will discuss it later. For good, "Well, John, we will discuss it in a few days."


    "No problem." John Stewart also understands that the time and place are wrong now.


    Ryan thought for a while, and whispered a few words to George, who was sitting on the other side of him, who was only having a meal. Mr. Bodyguard nodded silently.


    This kind of thing is not too difficult to investigate, so Garcia can send someone to the UK for a special trip.


    Which TV station¡¯s program was this in the previous life? Ryan frowned and thought about it for a while. I really don¡¯t have an impression, but since I mentioned this to John Stewart, if it is possible, I will cooperate with Fox TV. It is not possible to get an advertisement. Revenue sharing alone is a huge number of future copyright revenues.


    "May I ask you a question, Ryan!"


    A few obviously full guys didn¡¯t have the patience to wait at the dinner table. They all ran over at this time. They talked about Taylor, who was walking in the front. In front of outsiders, she was a standard lady.¡± Ed, Toy Story In "2", Buzz Lightyear''s battle against aliens was satirizing "Star Wars Prequel" at the beginning. Is it like this?"


    She pointed to Ed, the older Adrian Johnson, Scarlett''s brother.


    "I''m a lot of film critics like this." Adrian Johnson said.


    "When have the words of the film critics been credible?" Scarlett Johansson curled his lips in disdain, "They can always analyze a lot of messy opinions."


    "Ryan, do you have any?" Tyler scratched him concealedly.


    "I can guarantee that neither the director of John Lasset nor the screenwriter Mr. Andrew Stanton, they have no such thoughts." Ryan did not know this method because of the script problem, and communicated with the chief creators of Pixar. It''s just made up by the media itself.


    You know, Pixar¡¯s core personnel were almost always members of Industrial Light and Magic before, unless there was a problem with their heads, they would ridicule George Lucas boringly.


    "Alison, Christine, you take everyone to the recreation room."


    These guys are not interested in sitting here, Ryan simply let the two girls who often come here take them out to play.


    "But I want to stay here with Mom and Dad, as well as you and Nicole." Taylor wittyly confronted Scarlett Johansson who was sitting steadily, sticking out his tongue, "Why not let Scarlett take them to play? "


    "Because I haven''t finished eating yet." Scarlett Johansson retorted dissatisfiedly.


    "You have eaten too much..." The blonde curly seemed to be muttering to himself, but the voice could reach Scarlett''s ears, "Kristen, I have never seen a girl who can eat better than Scarlett. "


    Scarlett Johansson''s entire face turned black, but at her age, it was not good to be in front of so many people. She could only use a knife and fork to stab the steak on the plate to vent her dissatisfaction.


    "Naughty!" Ryan flexed her knuckles and flicked her forehead slightly, causing the girl to widen her royal blue eyes, and pitifully towards Nicole, "Ryan always flicks me, it will become stupid. ¡­"


    "Alison!" Mrs. Andrea on the other side of the table came over, and Taylor quickly made a shut-up gesture and pulled up the dummy next to him, "Let¡¯s go, Christine, let¡¯s go to the entertainment room to play video games. ."


    After they left, Ryan and others resumed the rhythm of eating and chatting. Most of the people here are Hollywood industry insiders, and the topic is naturally inseparable from Hollywood gossip and gossip.


    "I heard that James is getting divorced again?" Julius Stewart asked, "I heard that Linda has filed a divorce lawsuit in the court."


    Ryan didn''t have much, just nodded.


    The truck driver¡¯s third marriage has clearly come to an end, although Linda Hamilton has been aware of the existence of Susie Amis since 1997, and probably has more speculations about the relationship between Cameron and his two ex-wifes, but still thinks. To maintain this marriage, but the truck driver''s heart is obviously no longer on her, and with Linda Hamilton''s tougher character, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to it. I can bear it and do my best now.


    Susie Amis may not be beautiful, but in Ryan''s impression, the actress is gentle and tolerant. Since ``Titanic'''', she has completely abandoned her career and concentrated on James. Behind Cameron, and her extremely clever approach is obviously more favored by truck drivers. UU reading www.uuk£ánshu.com


    "This is Hollywood! This is the usual style of Hollywood big shots." Nicole''s voice was very low, and only Ryan, who was sitting next to her, could listen.


    After sighing, Ryan also lowered his voice, "Don''t forget, my dear, you are also a big man in Hollywood now."


    "When will Jim marry Susie Amis?" Nicole asked again in a low voice.


    "About next year, we have to wait for the divorce proceedings to end." Ryan and James Cameron have always been in close contact and know a lot about him.


    The banquet lasted at ten o''clock in the evening, and everyone said goodbyes. Even though it was the Thanksgiving holiday, when they left, they still had to be harassed by the paparazzi at the door. There are also those guys, although they are reluctant, they still They were dragged into the car by their respective mothers.

 Chapter 406： Wait a few years

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "Mr. Jenkins, what do you think of the North American box office that "Toy Story 2" received 72.05 million US dollars in the first week? "


    The reporters and paparazzi finally blocked Ryan in front of Jenkins Pictures and asked questions, "Toy Story 2" created the highest first-week box office record in the history of an animated film. How did you think of acquiring Pixar at the time? The studio?"


    "More than $70 million is really scary, but I think "Toy Story 2" and Pixar Studio are worthy of such results, don''t they?"


    Ryan stopped for a while and simply answered the reporter¡¯s question, ¡°We have always said that as long as we work hard, we can achieve success. Pixar Studio has worked hard for computer animation for 20 years. Their success is not accidental. It is inevitable. As for the original acquisition, I have said it many times. I am optimistic about their efforts. It is as simple as that. One second to remember ""The fastest update of popular novels"


    "Ryan, as far as we know, the sales of peripheral products are as hot as the box office of movies. Do you have any tips?" Another reporter asked loudly.


    "The trick?" Ryan laughed and said deliberately in a joke manner, "The biggest trick is..."


    The ears of all the reporters were erected, and the noisy front of the building was extremely silent.


    "I paid my own pocket and bought a set of toys for everyone I knew."


    After the joke was finished, Ryan walked into the office building under the protection of the bodyguard, and ignored the disturbances behind him.


    Frankly speaking, "Toy Story 2" was able to get such box office results in the first week, not only beyond the expectations of Pixar, but even Ryan himself did not expect that such results almost ensure that the film can recover its costs by relying on the North American box office. However, after the Thanksgiving holiday and the first weekend pass, the box office will definitely see a large drop in the second week.


    This is the natural law of entertainment movies.


    Rarely spends a long time in Jenkins Pictures, Ryan sits in the office. Browse the company''s next production plan.


    After the hit series were released one after another, the production of the sequel was put on the agenda one after another. Most of the directors of the first episode also signed subsequent director contracts. The only sequel that changed the director was "Mission Impossible 2". At present, Bai Ge? Wu Zheng is taking the crew on location. If nothing happens, this will be his last glory in Hollywood.


    In order to ensure the success of the film, and to squeeze out the last bit of Baige Wu, Ryan simply gave him the final editing rights, which is for the Chinese director in Hollywood. It''s just what you want in your dreams.


    The news came back to Hong Kong and caused a huge sensation. With the addition of actors such as Jack Chen and Jeter Lee, as well as the action director team such as Yuan Heping and Cheng Xiaodong, the Hong Kong film industry instantly burst into confidence, and many media are advocating that Hong Kong movies have conquered Hollywood. , Hong Kong movies can definitely get rid of the trough.


    Unfortunately, this is just their wishful thinking. Nowadays, the seemingly beautiful Hollywood and Hong Kong filmmakers will soon return home, and Hong Kong movies are infinitely close to death.


    In fact, it''s not just Ryan and Jenkins Pictures, Hollywood is a little bit visionary. They are absorbing their strengths and then transforming them into a part of Hollywood culture. When they have squeezed to the limit, these people are naturally no longer needed.


    of course. As long as they can make money for themselves, these producers, including Ryan, will still give them generous contracts.


    Want to stay in Hollywood. Then we must actively integrate into the mainstream culture of Hollywood. Ang Lee, a top student who graduated from New York University, is very smart in this regard. Others who came to Hollywood, especially filmmakers from Hong Kong, still retain a strong Hong Kong The old-fashioned style of movies, this style is of no use to Hollywood, which pays attention to assembly line production.


    Last year, the Wachowski brothers fell in love with Jet Lee and wanted to invite him to be the guardian angel of the Prophet. Who knew that the other party would pay three million dollars for the film, and such a role with limited shots would cost three hundred. With a salary of ten thousand dollars, Harvey Weinstein vetoed this candidate without even thinking about it. This is how Tiger Chen''s guardian angel came to be.


    Hollywood filmmakers, especially Jenkins Pictures, can easily make large investments in their films, but they are not taken advantage of.


    After an aggressive knock on the door, Scott Swift walked in. At Ryan''s sign, he sat on the chair opposite the desk. After a female secretary had coffee, the two entered directly. The topic.


    "Toy Story 2''s huge first week box office and popular peripheral product sales have driven the rapid rise of Pixar stock. Investors are full of confidence. Many people even think that Pixar will create a Cisco-style myth as long as Pixar sticks to it. "Scott briefly said about Pixar''s stock situation, "Since the movie was released, the price of a single share has risen by more than 15%."


    "Is this situation normal?" Ryan frowned. Pixar was indeed successful, but the stock price rose too fast, right?


    "Now there are a lot of purchase orders on the market, but few people are seeing shipments." Scott slowly buckled the armrest of the chair. "According to Ed Kamel''s response, someone is approaching a few of them to test them Did they mean to sell Pixar shares, but they refused."


    Ryan nodded. This is normal. Ed Camel, John Lasseter and others almost treat Pixar Studios as their own children. Unless there is a reason for refusal, they will not easily take action. Shares.


    "Also, Ryan." Scott mentioned another company. "The French Vivendi Group privately sent us an application to acquire Blizzard Entertainment, and their bid exceeded 13% of Blizzard Entertainment''s market value. ."


    If you don¡¯t want to trigger an acquisition war, premium acquisitions are undoubtedly the most appropriate method. Vivendi Group has shown a strong interest in Blizzard Entertainment since two years ago, but Ryan has never nodded his head. He knows Blizzard¡¯s distance. The most glorious moment is still some distance away. Now that I sell it, wouldn''t I become the second Steve Jobs.


    To this day, Steve Jobs sold the Pixar studio to Ryan and was treated as a joke.


    The founder of Apple, without the springboard of Pixar Studios, has not returned to Apple. Without his Apple, he still embarked on the development path of his previous life.


    This iron-clad fact also reminds Ryan that he must keep a clear mind at all times, and anyone who lacks the earth will turn.


    "Ryan, what do you think?" Scott also has a lot of shares in Blizzard, and was a little moved by Vivendi''s offer.


    After all, their main industry is still in movies, and now the income from selling Blizzard Entertainment is dozens of times as much as the original investment.


    "Are we short of money, Scott." Ryan took a sip of coffee and slowly put the cup on the table. "I think, what we don''t lack now is funds?"


    "Indeed, we have no shortage of working capital."


    After selling large shares of Yahoo and Cisco, in addition to investing in Google and buying a small amount of Disney shares, the large sums of money are still unable to find the direction of investment.


    "I heard that Blizzard is preparing to release "Diablo 2", and the next step is to launch "Warcraft 3". Blizzard Entertainment is far from reaching its peak. It is definitely not a wise choice to make a move at this time." He shook his head, "Reject Vivendi... well, leave some room for future negotiations."


    "I understand." Scott nodded in agreement.


    "Also, Scott, find a way to suppress the stock prices of Blizzard and Pixar, and don''t let them rise too fast." Thinking of the stock market crash next year, Ryan also has some headaches. The listed companies under his own name will definitely do too. Affected, at present, we can only try to minimize the impact. "Before the end of the year, try to get rid of the remaining IT stocks."


    After sending Scott away, Ryan put aside the financial matters. After all, he is an outsider. There is a good player like Scott, so you don''t have to worry too much.


    After drinking a cup of coffee, Ryan opened the document on the notebook and started typing slowly. "Pirates of the Caribbean" was completed last month. It has been handed over to Julius. As soon as the time is right, the project will be officially established, and he wrote It''s exactly the process of American Idol''s national draft campaign.


    After a series of short investigations, several people sent by Garcia to the United Kingdom basically determined that the British side had not planned such a draft. Ryan quickly wrote down the little things he remembered in his mind.


    In fact, such similar draft activities have long existed in North America, but there is no standardized operation.


    For example, Disney''s Mickey Mouse Club draft is to select suitable young actors and singers across the United States, but this kind of draft is only drafted for the draft, there is no interaction with the audience, and it will not be on TV, not to mention it is like a hype. Star-like establishment of support groups and other messy means Ryan needs to come up with relevant ideas and processes as soon as possible, start extensive cooperation with Fox TV, and then register it as its own patent and brand, even if it is In the future, I will go bankrupt, and with the copyright of American Idol, I can live freely.


    Since he is not sure when the British side will plan this show, what Ryan needs is fast and turn it into his own thing as soon as possible. He has prepared his lawyers and brokerage team. As long as the plan is perfected, it will be Register worldwide.


    By the way, should I buy a record company and sign the top singers?


    And Tyler, which will be a cash cow that will take the world by storm in the future...


    Thinking of blonde curly hair, Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head. If people like herself became the masters of record companies, with her rogue character, she would definitely take away all the money she made...


    Besides, I already have a plan. As long as it succeeds, there will be a complete industrial chain. The only thing to do is to wait a few years.

 Chapter 407： Fox Studios

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group


    The discussion between the two parties is naturally American Idol. Hollywood can show the fastest efficiency in dealing with profitable projects. When Ryan came up with a preliminary plan to let his team register all over the world, Jenkins and Fox The TV station has entered the demonstration stage.


    Ryan knows almost nothing about TV production. The plan he wrote is just a skeleton. It needs these people to perfect and execute it. What he didn''t think is that Tina Fei, the head of the editing team, before entering Jenkins Pictures , Once served as the screenwriter and assistant director of the weekend night scene for a long time, she naturally became the person in charge of this project in Jenkins Pictures.


    Out of Ryan''s request, John Stewart led the relevant staff of Fox TV to join the cooperative team.


    There are professionals on both sides. Maybe I didn''t think that the talent show could be promoted in this way before, but after Ryan''s planning case, I instantly thought about the possibility of huge success.


    The vast majority of young people in the world almost have a star dream, and there are also talented people, but they lack a stage to show themselves. With the help of TV and the Internet, a massive draft show will definitely attract countless people. People''s eyes, those who want to show themselves, will also have a platform.


    There are also support groups, Internet hype, jury comments, audience telephone voting, etc., which can directly participate in the program, which can easily narrow the distance between the program and the ordinary audience. If such a program cannot be successful, what kind of reality show is there? Can it succeed?


    "Okay. Everyone." Ryan finally made a concluding statement. "This project will be led by you in the future. We are not allowed to create a ratings myth. But before that, we need to launch a large-scale hype and publicity to promote the United States. Idols are thoroughly enthusiastic."


    In this era of eyeball economy, where there is no hype or publicity, there will be enough benefits.


    Leaving the office area, Ryan drove the battery car directly to the studio area. He came to a huge studio and called George. It didn''t take long for Mr. Bodyguard to walk out with Taylor.


    Jump off the battery car. Giving up the driving seat to George, Ryan took the guy in the back seat and sat next to her.


    "Go to James." Ryan nodded to George.


    "Have your meeting finished, Ryan?" Tyler rolled his eyes, seeming to be making ghosts. "Is it about American Idol?"


    "Honey, how do you know?" Ryan remembered not mentioning it to her.


    "Cut, will there be things that happen in the film company that I don''t know?" The girl wrinkled her nose in disdain, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why limit the age of the participants? I read the plan in your notebook. , I still want to sign up..."


    Suddenly, she covered her mouth. Consciously missed his mouth.


    Ryan stared at her, just smiling, but said nothing.


    After a while, the girl drooped her head and admitted obediently, "I stole your notebook. Who made your password so simple? Nicole''s name is not difficult to remember."


    "I apologize to you, Ryan, it''s very formal." Tyler took a rare serious attitude, "I know it violated your sex. I was just a little curious at the time, a little bit, I promised there won''t be another time. "


    "My dear, there is no relationship between us, but what if we change to someone else?" Just after Ryan''s words, the girl nodded cleverly, "I understand, I will pay attention later."


    Well, I am about to become a parent who is good at guided education. Ryan can only sigh with emotion.


    "But, Ryan." The girl hasn''t forgotten the question just now, "Why do you want to limit the age of American Idol? I want to participate, too. I am not allowed to get the top few."


    "My dear, are you sure you want to participate? Do you need to participate?" Ryan asked Tyler to think about this problem for himself.


    The age is set to extend the life of the show, and Taylor needs to be famous by this kind of talent? This life and the previous life have changed drastically. With the support of herself and Nicole and others, she wants to be famous at all.


    Even if you don''t do anything, as long as the guy''s age is over sixteen, the gossip media will definitely be eager to expose her.


    You know, in the past, the media did not catch photos of Tyler traveling with herself and Nicole. They also knew that her identity was extraordinary. It was only due to her age and her own pressure. She obfuscated her, and she didn''t even mention her personal information.


    Once the age of protection is passed, how can the paparazzi in North America let go of such a great opportunity for hype.


    Ryan didn''t worry much, he was confident that Taylor would become popular because of the song, but not in other ways.


    The girl''s musical talent is indeed outstanding. As she grows older and during the conversation in London, she also understands the importance of hard work. In addition to routine play and study, she almost devotes most of her time to music.


    Especially shortly after the start of this semester, she and her hard-core supporter, fake Kristen Stewart, dropped out of school together. Now that the two of them have determined the way to go in the future, what is needed is more professional education, not Continue to waste time in ordinary schools.


    Ryan used the contacts he formed that year to hire a number of professional senior teachers from the pop music industry. The guy is very smart, and there is definitely no problem with IQ. In order to prevent the emotional intelligence of the previous life, Ryan also specially hired a special psychological counselor. , Under the pretext that he might face great pressure in the future, he provided intensive psychological counseling to Taylor.


    He couldn''t let his beloved sister become a girl who had changed nineteen boyfriends in three years, thus becoming the laughing stock of the world.


    "Ryan, what are you thinking? Didn''t you listen to me?" Taylor pulled his arm dissatisfied.


    "Sorry, dear." Ryan hurriedly recovered, "I''m thinking you learn so fast, what kind of teacher should I hire for you in the next step."


    "I think I need a beautician and a body stylist." The innocence on the girl''s face was gone, replaced by troubles. She rubbed her face and said distressedly, "The longer I am, the less beautiful I am. What should I do?"


    "Lend Jenny to me for a few months, okay?" She asked Ryan expectantly.


    Ryan knew her was Jennifer Meyer, and now she has become a professional stylist for Nicole and her girlfriends, "Taylor, you should treat Nicole this evil."


    Women really love beauty no matter how old or young.


    "If I don''t look pretty in the future, I will settle the account with you, dear Ryan!"


    Before jumping out of the battery car, Tyler imitated his tone and slashed his teeth at Ryan viciously.


    There is only one word in Ryan''s heart, if you wear high heels in the future, don''t stand by my side.


    He remembered those street photos from his previous life. Two long legs with five-inch vintage high-heeled shoes can definitely kill most men. His height of six feet and one inch is no exception.


    "James, is James here?" Because the people in the studio were obviously resting, Taylor yelled unceremoniously after running in, "Mr. James Cameron, we''re here to visit you."


    "Whose girl is this?" Taylor''s shout caught another girl''s attention, and she walked over in a black costume. "Hey, guy, what do you want Director Cameron for?"


    "Who are you?" Taylor looked at her up and down.


    "Jessica, Jessica Alba."


    Shaking the hand that the other party stretched out, Taylor introduced himself politely, "I''m Taylor Swift, come to director James Cameron, do you know where he is?"


    "Are you an actor here to audition?" The other party was curious.


    "Audition?" Taylor scratched the curls all over his head. "No, he was looking for James."


    Then, Taylor pointed to Ryan''s location.


    "Hello, sister Alba."


    Ryan shook hands with her in the surprise eyes of the other party. After only one year, the girl almost completely faded away.


    "You... hello, Ryan, no... I didn''t think we would meet again." Jessica Alba''s surprise seemed to come from the heart.


    "It''s nice to see you again." Ryan said courteously, and then James Cameron hurried over and said, "James is here and I have time to talk."


    "Let''s go, Taylor beckoned to his side, and the girl immediately followed.


    James Cameron is obviously a lot fatter than before, probably because of the divorce case, his face looks a little haggard.


    He greeted Ryan and couldn''t help but to the girl, "Taylor, your voice seems to be very good at practicing. I heard your shout from so far away. Are you going to develop into the high pitch in the future?"


    "Do I have such an exaggeration of yours, Mr. Cameron." Taylor raised his hand and wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction. "I watched the tidbits of "Titanic". According to your roar on the set, it reached three hundred decibels. May I ask is this real?"


    "This..." James Cameron didn''t think the girl was so tricky, so he quickly changed the subject and asked Ryan, "How come you have time today?"


    "I just discussed a new project with Fox. Come here by the way." Ryan smiled and shook his head, walking towards James Cameron''s office, and asked, "I''ll have a copy of what you wrote last month. Plan, progress has been made in 3D development?"

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "Little guy, what do you want to drink?"


    Entering the office, James Cameron made black tea by himself. After filling Ryan and George, he asked Taylor, who was sitting next to Ryan, "Juice or black tea?"


    "No more." Tyler shook his head, jumped off the sofa, and beckoned to George, "You must talk about work, it is boring and boring, and it needs to be kept secret. I''d better go outside with George to play. ."


    Then, she made a face at Ryan, "Don''t think I don''t know, you all think I have a big mouth like Scarlett."


    "Naughty." Ryan rubbed her head fondly, and exhorted, "No tricks."


    After George took her out, Ryan and James Cameron chatted about business while sipping black tea.


    "I have a lot of ideas for a new type of camera." James Cameron said of what he was doing recently, "I have reached an agreement with Sony to commission them to develop new photographic equipment and turn my ideas into reality. ."


    James Cameron is indeed full of wild ideas, but if you want to turn these ideas into reality, you need not only capital, but also the strong support of related manufacturers.


    "How is the progress?" Ryan asked concerned.


    "The first batch of products will be delivered after the New Year. I will use them to shoot a deep-sea documentary to experiment with the actual effects of the equipment." James Cameron made a relieved gesture to Ryan and vowed to say, "I Make sure that your investment will not be squandered."


    "Come on, Jim." Ryan spread his hands indifferently. "We don''t need to say such things."


    "What about the acquired vendor? Have you not determined the target yet?" Ryan remembered the name he saw on the company report some time ago and couldn''t help saying, "Actually, I have a very good target."


    James Cameron immediately thought of the company that was lobbying for major Hollywood studios, and tentatively asked, "It''s not the Canadian company, right?"


    "What about your goal?" Ryan didn''t answer. Asked rhetorically.


    "I think 3d and imax will lead the trend of future movies." James Cameron''s words couldn''t be more obvious.


    "Wow, Jim, we really have a tacit understanding."


    As soon as Ryan''s voice fell, there was a protest from James Cameron, "You can''t say that, it will cause misunderstandings, Ryan, I know your sexual orientation is normal, and I am not gay! "


    Certain things are in the eyes of some old friends. Some clues were revealed, but before the parties chose to make it public, they all remained silent tacitly.


    James Cameron walked back to the desk, retrieved a pile of information about imax, and handed it to Ryan.


    Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, imax is currently a NASDAQ listed company. Ryan still remembers that in 1997, the company was due to its film technology achievements. Won an independent Oscar from the Academy of Film.


    This company is the owner of imax technology and related equipment. It is mainly dedicated to the research and development of film and digital technology. Its core patents include 3d technology, post-production and projection technology. Its business scope includes the design, leasing, sales and maintenance of imax cinema and projection systems. And operation. Shooting, production and distribution of imax format films, development and production of cameras and projectors.


    In other words, this is a very worthwhile acquisition target.


    Although imax technology was born decades ago, there are a few imax theaters in North America. However, this film technology is now more widely used in planetariums and natural museums, and the cinema chains are not able to use them.


    The huge upfront investment limits the development of this technology. After entering the 1990s, although there were a few imax movies in Hollywood, they did not respond to some income. Now there are almost no companies willing to spend huge sums of money to imax movies.


    The inability to completely open the door to Hollywood means that the business has shrunk. In fact, since its establishment, imax has not grown and grown, and it is just a small, inconspicuous listed company on NASDAQ.


    Ryan saw the company''s name from a document about "The Matrix" by Julius. At present, they have sent a large number of business personnel to lobby in major Hollywood studios, hoping to open this fan. Only a cracked door was exposed to them. Film companies like Jenkins Pictures that have continuously invested heavily in large-scale productions in recent years are naturally one of their lobbying targets.


    Their goal is "The Matrix," which has had a huge impact this year. Since the Wachowski brothers have already started the post-production of the second part, imax has lobbied the executives of Jenkins Pictures to make "The Matrix" the first Three imaxization.


    This matter finally came to Ryan''s side, and he temporarily suppressed it. After all, the third part will not start post-production until the second part is released next year, so he is not in a hurry.


    It is also because of this matter that he will come to the TV series production area of ??Fox Studios to meet James Cameron after the meeting.


    The current imax company is a bit like the Pixar studio before the release of "Toy Story", as long as there is a suitable opportunity, he can fly into the sky.


    And Ryan, a former theater worker, of course knows what kind of development 3d and imax will get in the future.


    The truck driver on the opposite side played a vital role in promoting these two technologies. In his previous life, he not only cooperated with imax, but also mastered the core patents of the new 3D movie.


    "Ryan, since our goals are the same..."


    James Cameron said unceremoniously, "I need financial support!"


    Although he also has a lot of wealth, he still doesn''t look enough in the face of a listed company.


    "Jim, I will let Scott Swift fully cooperate with your work, whether it is capital or manpower." Of course, Ryan will not hesitate. The current imax company is not very eye-catching. It will be three to five years at most. It will attract more people''s attention.


    "You really are the best partner." James Cameron laughed.


    "I believe in your vision, Jim." Ryan sipped his coffee slowly, and said casually, "This project is led by you. Wherever you need it, just speak up."


    "Then I''m not welcome."


    Words of James Cameron. Ryan couldn¡¯t help but see a Taylor Swift with a full beard. Sure enough, the truck driver was not at all polite, "You should have seen the heroine when you came in? Help her find a suitable one in the movie. character of."


    If you didn''t know that James Cameron and Jessica Alba''s family did have some relationship, Ryan would have to wonder if this guy has changed his taste.


    This is a small problem after all. The friendship between myself and James Cameron for so many years lies here, and I will be a partner with entangled interests in the future.


    After thinking for a while, Ryan spoke. "Well, Jim..."


    Seeing that James Cameron was about to speak again, Ryan interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Do you still want to ask for a role for that Catherine Isabel?"


    "Come on, Ryan, I just want to say thank you!" Cameron grabbed his beard dissatisfied.


    "Wow, it''s rare, the tyrant on the set will thank people." After the exaggerated joke, Ryan said seriously. "Since you think this Miss Jessica Alba has potential, then I will give her a chance to be the protagonist."


    "Scream 3" has been filmed, and if nothing else, it will be released next year. In any case, Ryan will never let Charlize Theron continue to star in this series, always change to a suitable vase, and Miss Jessica Alba. She is a very good candidate, anyway, she can only be a vase, so let her replace the South African diamond.


    And the heroine is not her own. You can also zoom in on the scale, and you can use all the methods that r-rated movies can attract.


    Miss Jessica Alba has gradually matured, and her figure will definitely attract many audiences.


    In just a short moment, Ryan thought about how to maximize his interests. It can be said that there is a huge gap in his attitude towards friends and non-friends.


    "Do you need me to let her in to thank you?" James Cameron knew that Ryan had kept his promise in this regard, and he would do it when he said it.


    "No need." Ryan waved his hand. "The movie is a sequel to "Screaming". There is still some time before shooting. You can ask Miss Alba if she is not interested..."


    "She will definitely agree."


    In North America, the gap between the average TV star and the movie star is very large, unless she is Jennifer Aniston, she will certainly not refuse this opportunity.


    Besides, even Jennifer Aniston, a recognized American sweetheart, wants to seek further development on the big screen, but can''t find a suitable opportunity.


    After finalizing some cooperation matters, Ryan and James Cameron left the office. In the photo zone, Taylor was playing with the Miss Alba, seeming to be practicing with her.


    Of course, the little girl''s talent in this area is very different from the music, and she always has a poor balance and falls on a thick cushion.


    "Alison, we should go." Ryan shouted to the other side.


    "It''s hereTaylor jumped off the mat, retrieved George''s bag, and ran back quickly.


    "That''s it, Jim." Ryan waved to James Cameron who had sent them out. "I will let Scott contact you as soon as possible."


    "Goodbye, Director Cameron." After getting in the battery car, Taylor also beckoned politely.


    Sitting on the moving battery car, Ryan took out a tissue, wiped a few drops of sweat from the little girl''s forehead, and asked, "Are you having fun?"


    "It''s okay, Jessica is very interesting, she will ask me to come out to play with me in the future." Taylor wrinkled her small nose, "she looks sweet when she smiles."


    "It''s just that the people are not very beautiful." She added.


    "Everyone is not as pretty as you, dear." Ryan carefully helped the little girl tidy up the scattered blonde hair.

 Chapter 409： Hollywood battlefield

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group


    Perhaps after the craziest period, or perhaps because Scott used a method, the stock of Pixar Studios stopped the trend of skyrocketing, and everything seemed to be developing towards the ideal.


    At this time, Jenkins Pictures also began to make efforts to promote the tepid "The Pianist". As the film is about to land in North America, a large-scale advertising campaign has finally begun, but compared to the previous films played by Ryan , Its strength is obviously not enough.


    The subject matter of this movie is really not suitable for hype. Once it is not well mastered, it will cause great trouble. Even if huge advertising costs are invested in it, it will not bring essential changes to the audience of the movie.


    Ryan knows this very well. Most of his **** fans are young people. Such a dull and cold movie will certainly not be too popular. Even if they walk into the cinema to support themselves, they will probably only watch it once.


    After all, "The Pianist" is not like "Schindler''s List", the plot is ups and downs and full of drama, which attracts a considerable number of audiences into the theater.


    Like all movies, the preview of "The Pianist" was held before the release, and there were less than 500 theaters that signed the contract, and it was possible to win such a literary film in the hot Christmas file. The number of theaters, as the distributor, Paramount Pictures, can be said to have made a lot of effort.


    Regarding the market prospects of this film, Ryan asked for a simple one, trying to recover the cost at the box office.


    Of course, this refers to the global box office, and Ryan has no confidence. The North American box office alone can recover the cost, and the subject matter and style of the movie determine its audience.


    In fact, having said that, "The Pianist" was not aimed at the box office. Ryan decided to shoot it just for the Oscars, and nothing more.


    As for Roman Polanski, who is as far away as France, although he was extremely dissatisfied with Jenkins Pictures¡¯ practices, he cleverly remained silent, and the producer has the absolute right to dispose of the film. This is not only a Hollywood rule, even if it is in the European movie circle, it will be universal.


    Besides, the original contract did not indicate that the film must participate in the Cannes Film Festival.


    Ryan can also guess something. Relying on Polanski''s past experiences, coupled with the theme and style of the film, and the French style, he will definitely give him a golden palm.


    You know, Roman Polanski has never taken Palme d¡¯Or.


    but. In his previous life, he won the best director Oscar for this film. Ryan didn''t know if the company that released the film at the time had public relations for him. However, Ryan did not plan to throw large publicity expenses and other resources for the other party.


    after all. He is not James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, and even in Ryan''s heart, he can''t even compare to Michael Bay, because he can''t bring benefits to himself.


    Since it is not a friend. The only measurement standard is profit.


    "So, don''t you plan to hold a premiere?"


    Charlize Theron, who had just returned from South Africa, slowly slowed down the horse, allowing the horse to automatically circle the racecourse. Looking at Ryan next to him, "Why? If you don''t hold the premiere, the media and fans will be disappointed."


    "My dear, the higher the investment in such a movie, the more difficult it will be to recover the cost." Ryan probed his hand, took off the cowboy hat that held down the beautiful blond hair, and put it on his head. Said, "This movie is for Oscars. Even if you lose money, you have to pay less."


    "You are so realistic." Charlize Theron remembered his past styles and couldn''t help shook his head.


    "Hey, Charlie, for a business man, cost control is the most basic quality." Ryan waved his hand dissatisfied, and lowered his cowboy hat to cover his eyes. "Your evaluation is really sad. ."


    Charlize Theron closed it as soon as he saw it, smiled, and said, "Actually, being your friend is very lucky."


    "What about the girlfriend?" Ryan asked humorously.


    "Very, very insecure!" Charlize Theron is obviously not joking. "Think about it, my lover is the most popular man in the world, and countless Hollywood women who dream of becoming famous want to climb into his bed. The pressure is very, very great!"


    She seemed to say what she was saying, and she immediately felt relaxed.


    Ryan did not speak, but took the lead to return to the stables of the manor. After Charlize Theron also came in, he handed the horse to the trainer and took her out.


    "I suddenly thought of Brigo." Ryan didn''t want to continue the topic just now, mentioning the mounts fighting side by side in New Zealand. "Although its blood is not as good as these thoroughbred horses, I feel it is more spiritual."


    "Then you buy Brigo, and after the crew is finished filming, you can transport it back to Los Angeles." Charlize Theron reminded carefully.


    "Actually, it already belongs to me."


    Long before returning to North America last time, Ryan asked George to buy Brigo, if it weren''t for filming, he would have shipped it back.


    "Then for Brigo, shall we have a toast?" The two slowly walked into the back garden.


    "Just a kiss."


    Ryan did as soon as he said, pulled Charlize Theron, and pressed **** his lips.


    The South African Diamond sucked his lips without hesitation, and then got entangled together, until after a long time, the two were breathlessly separated.


    "Why are you in your menstrual period?" Ryan complained slightly.


    "It''s normal for women to do things like this in the early days and nights." Charlize Theron hugged Ryan hard, raised his head and stared into his eyes, "Ryan, if you need it, I... ¡­I can help you in other ways."


    "Forget it." Ryan looked at the two sliding red lips, resisted the urge in his heart, looked at his watch, "It''s almost time, there is a good show to watch. Go?"


    "Good show?" Charlize nodded without any hesitation, "Of course I want to go."


    Hollywood Star Studios is located in the outskirts of Orange County, and its name is indeed very loud. In fact, this is just a very rudimentary studio area. Generally, the movies shot here are basically independent with a small budget. Films, and b-rated films full of violence and sexual elements.


    With the assistance of bodyguards, the car that George drove easily got rid of the paparazzi that followed, and the black Chevrolet finally stopped in front of a studio on the set.


    According to Hollywood''s unwritten rules, cars are not allowed to enter the studio. But the management here is chaotic. George just threw out a dollar bill, and the car drove directly to the studio.


    "What are we doing here?" The hat, sunglasses and scarf almost completely wrapped Charlize Theron''s pretty face.


    "Of course it is to watch the play." Ryan would not tell her for another purpose.


    Led by George, Ryan and the others walked around the side door and walked into the studio. He pointed to the heavily armed South African diamond, "My dear, you are about to become a veiled monster."


    "Isn''t this for your consideration?" Charlize revealed the right kind of complaint again. "Since you don''t want to make it public for the time being, of course I can''t let the paparazzi recognize it."


    Ryan closed her mouth and pulled her into a room on the second floor, where the side facing the first floor was a huge piece of glass. The kind that can only be seen from the inside to the outside.


    "Shall we see others filming?" Charlize was very curious.


    This studio is very shabby, and the props laid out below are also very rudimentary. At most, the shots are b-level films. Is this kind of film shooting interesting?


    "Don''t worry. My dear." Ryan took the drink George had handed over and stuffed it into Charlize''s hand.


    "okay then."


    Anyway, with Ryan accompanied, she felt very satisfied. I just waited patiently, watching the staff below are busy, sometimes a person has to work several positions part-time, it is actually very interesting, isn''t it?


    The sound insulation of the room is not very good. About ten minutes later, Charlize Theron faintly heard the director''s roar, and then two basically naked actors walked up to the camera. One of them was strangely familiar. The former handsome boy.


    She looked at Ryan and understood something. Some time ago, the media reported that the person downstairs took over a B-level film, and she did not expect that it also involved homosexuality...


    Downstairs, the two actors have been lingering in one place. The former superstar was directly pressed down by another person. There were also some abusive scenes involved. Even though he knew that they were all acting, Charlize lowered his eyelids slightly. .


    Starring in such a sensitive movie, isn''t he going to turn around in the future?


    Just thinking of this, Charlize looked to his side, can he turn over with him? All this is obviously indifferent to the expressionless face, like the lover of the bystander.


    Although it has long been known that Ryan has completely different attitudes towards friends and strangers, until now, Charlize Theron has completely seen the other side of him, the ruthless side of his enemies.


    Although I feel a little uncomfortable at the bottom of my heart, Charlize Theron is not an idiot She has seen the reality and darkness of Hollywood. Ryan uses various methods for herself and for his friends. He propped up a fairly clean sky and protected them from moving forward step by step.


    Subconsciously squeezing the big hand next to him, Charlize simply put it on his broad shoulders.


    Ryan kissed her lightly on the cheek, "Make friends with people who are helpful to you, draw in people with common interests, and suppress enemies that cannot be reconciled. Hollywood is an alternative battlefield."


    The reason why he chose to bring Charlize Theron over, Ryan naturally had his intentions. He didn''t want to lose any of them, and he didn''t want anyone to do something stupid in the future because of some inexplicable interests.


    After all, the opponent has already begun to move, and seducing the people around him is undoubtedly one of the best means.


    He believed in Nicole and Natalie, this kind of trust was accumulated over a period of ten years, and Charlize, who only became acquainted with them when he grew up, was the one most worried about.

 Chapter 410： Female killer

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! One second remember that "" the hottest novel update is the fastest. Lishanzhuang, instead, turned along the intercontinental highway to the south of Long Beach, where Ryan recently bought a small villa there, planning to take Charlize Theron to the two-person world on the weekend.


    The South African Diamond sat quietly in the back seat, no longer active, and rarely spoke after coming out of the studio.She never understood why her lover should bring herself to such a boring drama.


    Also, she has some sympathy for that one.


    Pushing forward a few years, the other party is still a first-line movie star in Hollywood, or even a superstar, but now it has fallen to such a point, and no one cares about it. Only the little money earned from the b-level film can be used to repay the mountain. Debt.


    Charlize doubted that the money earned by the other party was enough to pay the interest generated by the huge debt.


    Even if he had fallen to where he is now, the lover around him seemed to have no intention of letting him go.


    \"Ryan, why not let him fend for himself?\" Charlize didn''t hold back in the end, or spoke, \"He...should not pose any threat to you, right?\"


    \"Charlie, in the far east, there is such a sentence.\"


    In fact, when he went bankrupt, Ryan also thought about this, but the other party still refused to stop in private.\"When encountering a poisonous snake, if you can''t completely kill it, once it slows down, it will be ruthless. Give you a bite, and even kill you.\"


    \"This is your business, I''d better keep silent.\" Charlize was very clever and didn''t continue the discussion.


    Ryan laughed, took her shoulders, and said, "Mr. Cruise is not as simple as you think, you know, Charlie. When he went bankrupt, I also thought about letting him pass in the past. Well, he took the initiative to find Michael? Eisner, I don''t know what they talked about. But it must be not a good thing.\"


    Charlize sighed lightly. He put his head on Ryan''s shoulder, now who in Hollywood doesn''t know. Michael Eisner is the lover''s biggest rival, although the contradiction has not been completely publicized, but the private temptation and other Actions, but not many at all.


    Obviously, Mr. Tom Cruise was not reconciled.


    Pulling Charlize''s ponytail tied behind his head, Ryan wrapped a curl of hair around his finger, kissed it lightly, and continued, \"Despite what happened later, it proved that Michael Eisner did not pay attention. This drowning dog, but I will not give him any chance to turn over. Today is just the beginning.\"


    Hollywood is a reality. With Tom Cruise''s status quo, where is there any qualification to cooperate with Disney and Michael Eisner?


    Although it is a disgraceful thing to knock down a water dog, Ryan understands the truth about killing a snake without dying but being victimized.


    \"Ryan, don''t do things that violate the law.\" Charlize knows that men with ambitions tend to swell.


    \"Hey, Charlie, what are you worried about?\" Ryan couldn''t help but laughed,\"Worried that I would destroy other people? I''m not that stupid yet, I just want him to enter the San Fernando Valley willingly.\"


    \"San Fernando Valley?\" Charlize was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought about the most famous industry there, his face was suddenly covered with black lines, \"You are really boring, Ryan.\"


    The newly bought villa is on the seaside of Long Beach, not far from the private jetty of Long Beach. Standing on the terrace full of evergreen plants on the top floor, there are still luxury yachts parked on the jetty, including hundreds of feet long super yacht.


    Unfortunately, the two yachts ordered by Ryan are still some time before launching, otherwise they can take the South African American Diamond to sea.


    \"If you want, I can borrow a yacht, and we will go to sea together.\" Ryan sat on the terrace and looked into the distance. Many yachts going out to sea are returning to the port one after another.


    \"In a few days, I am not feeling well right now.\" Charlize''s words reminded Ryan that the South African Diamond is in its menstrual period.


    \"Where is your mother, didn''t bring her to Los Angeles?\" Ryan asked caringly.


    \"No, after returning from South Africa, my mother still wants to live in New York. I bought a new apartment for her.\" Charlize probably thought of his hometown and said leisurely, \"You know, Ryan, I This time I returned to South Africa and received a warm welcome. They almost regarded me as a hero of South Africa. If it were not restricted by some conditions, I would not be allowed to see Mandela.\"


    \"My dear, when you win the Oscar, you will become the pride of South Africa.\"


    In the previous life, although Charlize Theron quickly became American citizenship, she did not give up South African citizenship. She may be one of the most famous people in South Africa in the world.


    \"Oscar Golden Man? Best Actress?\" Charlize smiled and shook his head. No one of the actresses who entered this circle didn''t want to stand on that stage, but how difficult was it to get it?


    She is not a fool, knowing her appearance is a great hindrance.


    Maybe with him, everything will become easier?


    Gray-blue eyes fell on Ryan, and Charlize Theron naturally thought of Nicole Kidman. The other''s beauty is not inferior to his own, but he is considered the most convincing best in decades. One of the heroines, as long as he is not a fool, he can understand how much power he exerts.


    Thinking of this, Charlize''s heartbeat suddenly speeded up. Has Ryan already helped her make a perfect plan?


    She was able to impress Ryan because she gave her true feelings, but she never denied it, and chasing him also wanted to make her career reach the top.


    There are too many vases in Hollywood, and there are not a few that are prettier than her.


    Charlize never thought of just making a vase, especially after having tasted the Oscar nomination for best actress.


    Ryan never treats people around him badly, and from the moment he firmly chooses Charlize Theron, he always considers the future development path of the other party.


    In the previous life, Charlize took advantage of The Devil''s Head at a young age, but did not push his career to the peak. Although he was among the ranks of first-class movie stars, there was always a bit of a misnomer, especially the lack of box office sales. Even the commercial value of his works at the time was not as good as the current South African diamonds.


    After all, Hollywood puts business first, and people who have no commercial value will naturally not be taken seriously.This situation has been maintained after 2010 before it has changed.


    In this life, she met Ryan early.Even when the two did not get together, she was a very good friend in private.She starred in several big-selling movies in a row, and has become one of the first-class movie stars.What she lacks is the recognition of the film academy.


    Charlize is not as good at management as Nicole, nor is she as determined to follow her own plan as Natalie.Her future is in the movie.


    If it''s possible, Ryan really doesn''t want her to star in "The Devil''s Head", that would be too ruining, but unless she is like Gwyneth Paltrow to become a queen of water by relying on public relations, the blonde beauty wants to take it. A golden man, without more than ten years of struggle, several nominations are absolutely impossible.


    If I can wait and arrange for her to take the shadow trail that Nicole once walked, I''m afraid Charlize will not wait any longer.


    To develop in the circle of Hollywood, everyone will not lack one thing, that is ambition!


    The two sat opposite each other, sipping coffee in silence, admiring the long beach wharf that enters and exits in the distance, quietly thinking about their respective problems.


    When it was getting dark, Ryan broke the silence, \"Charlie, have you heard of the serial homicide on the highway in Florida a few years ago?\"


    \"Which one do you mean?\" Charlize shook his head slowly, \"It seems that there have been many serial murders in recent years, right?\"


    America is definitely not heaven. Ryan knows this well. He grabbed Charlize''s hand and gently kneaded his slender fingers, saying, "But there are not many female serial killers. In a sense, this can be regarded as The first serial female killer case.\"


    Hearing Ryan like this, Charlize? Theron probably remembered something, frowned and thought for a while and asked, "Yours is that prostitute serial killer? I remember it was in the newspaper before, her name is...\"


    \"Eileen Warnos, if nothing happens, she will be executed in a few years.\"


    \"Will you be...\"Charlize obviously realized something,\"Do you want me to play this serial female killer?\"


    \"bingo!\"


    Ryan snapped his fingers, "My dear, you should know that the characters and biographical movies in reality have always been the favorites of the film school."


    Then, he raised Charlize''s chin, and after a light kiss, he said, "Charlie, you are so beautiful."


    \"Thank you!\" Charlize gave a sweet smile.


    \"Pretty is the biggest obstacle to winning the Oscar for Best Actress.\" Ryan stared at her for a while, and began to read the information that had only recently been used. \"Eileen Warnos was born in a cold family, My father was a rapist. From being abused by my grandfather, he had to sell his body for a living at the age of thirteen. He gave birth to a boy at the age of fourteen. The only lover was an insatiable woman. In the end, she killed seven. personal¡­¡­\"


    \"This is a very worthy character, her situation, her psychology, her cruelty, her sensitivity.\" Ryan thought about the analysis of her in the material,\" Charlie, I will let someone sort it out as soon as possible Write out the relevant materials, and then write the script.\"


    Charlize¡¯s eyes lit up a long time ago. She is a smart woman. She naturally knows what such a complicated role might bring to herself, "Ryan, I want this role!"


    \"You have to think about it, Charlie.\" Ryan made the sacrifice Charlize was about to make,\"My dear, if you play this role, you need to shave your eyebrows and gain at least 30 pounds. Also put on ugly makeup.\"


    Here, Ryan has shown a trace of hesitation on Charlize¡¯s face, \"Well, I will let someone send her information and photos to you as soon as possible. You can decide whether to play or not.\"

 Chapter 411： The Masked Mans Viewing Experience

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group


    This is just a literary film with a limited audience.


    On the night of the premiere day, Ryan bought two tickets himself. Charlize Theron, dressed as a masker, walked into the box of a theater in Long Beach under the cover of night.


    "It''s not ideal from the theater to the gears." After sitting down, Charlize removed his disguise.


    Their box is on the second floor. Ryan looked down and found that the attendance rate should have exceeded half. Many of them were young people. It was obvious that they were watching this movie for themselves.


    I hope they can hold on to the end of the film.


    This is Ryan¡¯s true thoughts. Even though Roman Polanski compressed the film under his strong suggestion, the length of the film is still more than two hours. Such a dull and cold atmosphere for a long time, I don¡¯t know the following How long can those young people hold on.


    The reason why movies are loved by people and become the best entertainment in the world today is definitely one of the reasons why it can lead the audience to experience a completely different world, and the sense of substitution is the most important thing.


    Although Spearman played by Ryan is the leading actor, he is more of a bystander. Through what he sees and hears, the film describes the misfortunes that have occurred in the Warsaw Jewish Quarter, using surprisingly objective brushstrokes. In view of the real situation of that period, this kind of objectivity has almost reached the point of being almost cruel and precise.


    The coldness and objectivity is always in the film from the beginning to the end. This is the style most appreciated by film critics, and it is also the place that most influences the audience''s substitution.


    If it cannot be substituted, it will seriously affect the viewing effect.


    Charlize Theron is not of Jewish descent, and has no sense of that period of history. She will only focus her attention on the people she cares about.


    Of course, all she wanted to watch was Spearman, the pianist played by Ryan.


    In 1939, the pianist Spearman was 27 years old. He played on Polish radio every day. World War II broke out. German shells hit the radio. The staff asked him to leave. He shook his head because he had not finished playing the Chopin piano.


    Faced with all kinds of difficulties, he resolutely said that he would die at home. But in the face of the pressure of survival, he can only bow his head.


    He and the person he admired by chance met on the street and wanted to date her, but he was helpless in reality. He could no longer enter the coffee shop, the park, or even touch the seats on the street. You must enter the ditch when you walk.


    He was forced to wear a big satellite armband. In order to fill the stomach of the family and make a living, he could only sell the piano, his partner who had been with him for many years.


    The whole family was rushed to a few Jewish quarters surrounded by high walls. He could only sit in the restaurant with his brother''s ridicule and the strange eyes of others, playing the piano for the Jewish assholes. In exchange for a little bit of food, it has nothing to do with dignity, just to survive.


    He has witnessed the wanton torture and massacre of Jews by the Germans countless times. He used his piano hand to move bricks and dig potatoes. He bowed his head in front of the cold reality time and time again, this is also to survive.


    After many hardships, he fled the concentration camp. Hiding in the broken walls of the ruins of Warsaw apartment, loitering like a mouse, out of the night.


    In order to live, he drank the muddy water in the spittoon, ate everything that could be used as food, and made use of all available conditions, just to live tenaciously.


    A Jewish pianist, for life. Art can only be temporarily abandoned, and gradually from the core of society to being isolated, abandoned and annihilated, life and dignity seem so helpless when faced with cruel wars.


    But he never gave up his life. Never gave up hope, although hope is so difficult and so far away.


    Someone has harmed him, and some have helped him. There are Jews, Poles, and German Nazis.


    A Jewish traitor who took refuge in the Germans finally saved his life, but he could not hide his identity as an accomplice.


    Charlize suddenly thought of the original work he had read because of Ryan''s interest. He understood that Jews are good and bad, Poles are good and bad, and German Nazis are also good and bad. The human position is at different times and places. When dealing with different objects, there are completely different performances.


    At the beginning of the film, it seemed that such an ending was predicted-when human beings were faced with the choice of art and life, they had to temporarily abandon romance and choose reality-without life, there would be no more art from then on.


    Art appears weak and helpless in the face of war, like the last trembling rose in the cold wind. Although the beauty is still the same, how long can this dying and weak beauty last? She remembered a metaphor she had heard. War and art are like guns and roses. Even in the rain of bullets, roses can shrink and bloom, but when they are in full bloom, how long can they survive in the cracks of gunfire?


    In the end, he sat back on the Warsaw radio station and played music, everything went the same as yesterday.


    More than two hours passed. Although Charlize Theron is an industry insider, in essence, he still likes lively young people. The slow pace and dull and cold style made her feel that these two hours were so. Long.


    Fortunately, there are also people she likes in the film. Although the thin and thin appearance seems to worry her, his sacrifice has indeed been exchanged for a superb performance.


    In this film, his performance is really impeccable, portraying an artist who has been threatened with death for a long time and endured the pressure of fear.


    In particular, he was hiding in the center of the block in Warsaw, hiding in the room. He could not make a sound to make people aware of the people in the room. When he was looking for food in the room again because of hunger, he accidentally broke a pile. The porcelain plate, the plate made a sharp and piercing sound, and then there was a fierce slap on the door. He was trembling constantly because of the terror, and there was a look of horror in his eyes, the kind of bewilderment, the kind of soul flying away. , Let people worry about him from the bottom of their hearts, shuddering, and heartbroken.


    Charlize only felt that his heart had been pulled for more than two hours, and kept praying, and it would end soon, whether it was a movie or a war, it would end soon.


    Although she is not familiar with it, she knows that this film has a strong Polanski''s personal style. The director tortured the audience like this from the beginning of the film, until the end is not warm, it is like a winter in Warsaw. The streets are average.


    She also understood why Ryan refused to invest more in this film. It would be a miracle if such a film could get a high box office.


    Charlize Theron glanced at the audience below. Perhaps there were not many people who left the show halfway through. Perhaps because of the theme and style of the movie, the audience''s response was not very enthusiastic.


    In fact, as far as she is concerned, abandoning the strong personal style and heavy themes of the movie, "The Pianist" is indeed not as exciting as "Schindler''s List".


    In other words, it is too dull.


    Judging from Charlize¡¯s own experience in the industry, the influence of this film is probably far less than that of "Schindler¡¯s List". The order of birth is one aspect, and whether it can attract the audience is the most important aspect. .


    Without an audience, the movie is actually nothing.


    Perhaps it was a subtle influence, and she very much agreed with Ryan''s view.


    "My dear, what do you think?" Ryan reminded Charlize Theron who pulled out the gods, "People are almost gone, we should also leave."


    "It''s nothing, just seeing the image on you, I think this is not the Ryan I love." Charlize first armed himself as a masker, then put on sunglasses and a hat for Ryan, "I feel like you in the movie. , More miserable than the people who came out of the poorest slum in Johannesburg."


    "When I was the thinnest, my weight fell below 130 pounds." Ryan took her to the outside of the theater. "At that time, except for the skin and bones, the whole person was out of shape."


    "Your hard work will be rewarded." Charlize knew what Ryan''s goal was. "Your movie..."


    "No, no, Charlie." Ryan shook his fingers. "Strictly speaking, this is a Roman Polanski movie. Don''t watch the movie cold and dull, it actually carries a strong personal style and feelings. "


    Pulling the door for Charlize, Ryan went to the other side and got in the driver''s seat. "Although I don''t like it very much, I have to say that Polanski''s perspective is objective enough."


    When Ryan started the car and drove into the empty promenade, Charlize rolled into a microphone with one hand, and brought it to Ryan with a smile, "Then, Mr. Jenkins, what do you think the movie tells? And what does it contain? Deep themes?"


    "The film tells how a Polish pianist was persecuted by the German Nazis..."


    "That''s it? Nothing else?" Charlize waited for a long time and didn''t wait for Ryan.


    "That''s it, am I wrong?"


    Of course, Ryan will not say this to the media, and only when he faces the closest person, will he tell his true opinion of the movie in his heart.


    He did put a lot of effort into this film, and many parts of the film have also changed a lot from his previous life, especially the scenes when Spearman played the piano.


    Ryan has excellent piano skills. In all these shots, he personally played, and Polanski also took live recordings. For this alone, his previous life Adrian Brody could not be compared.


    With the release of "The Pianist", Ryan''s team has ushered in the most important task of this awards season, and strives for a best actor nomination. As for the best film and best director, it will also be reported, if not In the event of an accident, these two nominations will also be in the bag.


    However, the best film can try public relations, and the best director will have to rely on Polanski''s own efforts.

 Chapter 412： Live unswervingly

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group


    "Chicago Tribune" rated it as "an epic masterpiece!"


    And the "San Francisco Chronicle" praised, "The Pianist has reached a great level!"


    "The New York Times" even directly defined it as "the best movie of 1999, no one!"


    The Internet is a paradise for movie fans to express their opinions. Many people who have watched movies can''t wait to publish their feelings on some websites.


    Especially Ryan''s fans have left messages on his personal website.


    "Yes, the movie is excellent, and it also reflects a cruel history. The depiction of the scene of **** has reached the point where it cannot be added. But what I want to say is that the movie is too dull and cold, and the rhythm is too slow. Well, that wonderful performance is still attracting me, maybe I will leave midway."


    "I don''t understand why Ryan wanted to make such a style of film, which is completely inconsistent with his style of first considering our experience of watching movies."


    "The film is very objective and the film is very real. Judging from Ryan''s image in it, he must have suffered enough for this film. We will enter the theater to support him, but I hope he can pay attention to the connotation of the film at the same time. Don¡¯t ignore the entertaining nature that we have always insisted on in the past.


    This movie is not destined to belong to young people. Even when they enter the theater, their eyes are mostly on Ryan''s performance.


    And Ryan''s performance in it has been praised by people in the industry.


    "Slim, elegant, delicate, compassionate, weak, and pale, Ryan showed all the qualities of a surviving pianist. With his performance and slender fingers, he played a great performance!"


    The "New York Post" fully demonstrated its characteristics. When criticizing people, they can''t wait to step on the ground. When flattering, it will blow people up to the sky.


    In contrast, the long-form commentary of the Los Angeles Times is more professional and more targeted.


    "When Ryan walked alone in the ruins under the light of darkness and terror, with a firm and unyielding attitude, he gave the pianist Spearman the character that never disappears. He used his eyes and performance. , Really brought people back to the gloomy and gloomy war years.


    "Under the ravages of the Nazis. Some people choose to survive tenaciously, others choose to destroy proudly. And Ryan, with the tearful piano melody played by his role, tells the world that even if life has reached the cliff of despair, they still have to Live unswervingly!"


    "As the most outstanding actor of the new generation of Hollywood acting, Ryan''s performance in the film "The Pianist" can be described as superb and vivid. He is a performer with a story, and he is also a''piano poet'' who has experienced the vicissitudes of life. He used his own literary and artistic methods to interpret a soul that is tougher than a soldier."


    The Washington Post, one of the three largest newspapers in North America, also gave Ryan a high evaluation.


    "In order to be able to shoot the immersive realism, Ryan has to practice piano for several hours every day. In order to achieve the effect of skinny figure, he also lost more than 30 pounds of body weight. So there is it. The most "¡¡" point of the film is the tearful performance of his playing the piano for a German officer in a refuge in ruins."


    "Every scale, every tone of voice, and every tone of voice are interpreted just right in Ryan''s slender and flexible finger dance, and it can even be said to be incisively and vividly."


    "At that moment, he didn''t seem to be playing the piano. He was using music to shout out his inner desire to survive. On a deeper level, he was using music to express his aversion and rejection of war, and his yearning for peace. And pursuit, but everything seems beyond reach, his piano sound is helpless, and at the same time it is indignant and passionate."


    "At this time, his fingers are the incarnation of art. It is even more a weapon of thought. It is precisely because of this indignation, passionate and helpless performance that truly and unpretentiously touched the hearts of the German officers, and also touched the hearts of every audience. As the finishing touch of the whole film, in such a specific scene, the pianist¡¯s tearful performance maximizes the deep feelings of the mixed feelings of his family, the fear of war, the poverty of life, and so on. Perfect fusion."


    "Ryan used his performance and his piano to tell people that war is not terrible, and aggression is not terrible. What''s terrible is that he has lost the idea of ????surviving in adversity. No one can beat himself, except that he can beat himself. ."


    Perhaps the media has enough sympathy for Ryan, the loser of the Oscar performance award, or perhaps the media has disgusted that he always gets those awards that do not work properly, and the mainstream voices bring almost all praise.


    "Failure is often the best experience. Ryan is always breaking through himself. His performance in "The Pianist" is smooth and natural, vividly deducing the musician''s self-cultivation and elegance, as well as the panic and flurry of escape. Clever, he is definitely one of the most powerful contenders for the best actor in major awards this year."


    -"Hollywood Report"


    "Ryan Jenkins has been striving to make a breakthrough in his image in recent years. This time he succeeded again. His slender figure and melancholic temperament are in line with the image of a musician, but his slender appearance is just that. He looks like an artist who has lost his life in a downturn, and his acting skills are worthy of the fame and achievements he has now."


    -"The New Yorker"


    Public opinion needs to be guided. Long before the film was released, the work of public relations was in the forefront. With Ryan''s personality and preferences, to choose this film, he must use it to win enough for himself.


    The film will definitely attract the eyes of Jews across the United States, and further narrow the relationship with the National Jewish Association. There are also several major Jewish groups on Wall Street. Although their interests are first, the favors within the rules will also play a role.


    These people hold shares in many Hollywood entertainment groups. In the not-too-distant future, Ryan will definitely have to deal with them.


    Then there is the Oscar for Best Actor. He does not expect to be awarded this year, but as long as he can be nominated, it is a solid qualification.


    Even if he is young, but after consecutive nominations, the film academy is bound to give an explanation.


    In view of the attendance rate on the first day, starting from the next Saturday, the number of theaters in "The Pianist" has slowly increased, reaching 600, and on Sunday it has increased to close to 650. Although it is not full, it basically remains. Attendance of about half.


    The first weekend was spent in the hype about Ryan''s acting. In the first three days, "The Pianist" got close to 6.5 million U.S. dollars in the box office, setting a record for Ryan''s lowest box office in the first week since entering Hollywood.


    However, no media would be so stupid as to hype about this kind of thing. After all, this is a niche art film.


    In terms of box office performance in the first week, the number of theaters in the second week will definitely increase slightly. This type of film often signs a long-term screening contract. However, in North America, as the screening time increases, the distributor and the The less the producer can get, and after two months, generally only 10 to 20% will be left.


    "So, we should fight for the best film."


    In the early morning, Ryan held the beautiful diamond in his arms, and analyzed it wisely, "The production and promotion of this film cost close to 40 million U.S. dollars. It is unrealistic to expect to recover the cost in North America, and the success of the Oscar will make It is more popular overseas and will also drive the video tape and DVD market in the future."


    "I will mobilize people around to support you in the theater." Charlize Theron stroked his sturdy body and said slowly, "After I have the video tapes and DVDs out, I promise everyone around me will give you ten copies. ."


    She raised her head and kissed Ryan''s lips, and when the long and lingering kiss was over, she said, "Of course, I will mail the bill to you, dear."


    "Do you need me to write you a check now..."


    Before Ryan''s joke was finished, the mobile phone on the bedside rang, and the number of people who could directly call him instead of George was extremely limited, so he quickly took it.


    "Who?" Charlize muttered silently.


    Ryan raised her index finger to her and pressed the answer button, and then Taylor''s voice came into her ears.


    "Ryan! Where are you?"


    "Is there anything, Alison?" Ryan said evasively.


    "It''s my tenth birthday soon. What gift are you going to give me?" It turned out to be a phone call to ask for a debt.


    "Oh, so you are ten years old?" Ryan deliberately pretended to be confused, and the little girl over there must have showed her fangs, "Huh, Ryan, if the gift doesn''t suit me, I will definitely kick you out of the party! "


    "I have prepared your gift, dear."


    "Can you give it to me now?" Tyler seemed unable to wait.


    "What about your birthday party?" Ryan rubbed his forehead and pushed Charlize back.


    "Why don''t you give me another copy then?" The little girl gave him an idea.


    "You are getting smarter and smarter." Ryan said irritably, "Patience is a virtue. Wait a few days."


    "Huh~ meanie."


    After humming a few times, Taylor reminded, "Don''t be late then."


    After hanging up the phone, Ryan patted Charlize¡¯s smooth back and signaled that it was time to get up. After he left the office of Jenkins Pictures every day, he would come here to date the South African Diamond, which has been going on for a week. With the arrival of Taylor''s birthday, this life has come to an end.


    This is Miss Taylor Swift¡¯s tenth birthday, and Nicole, who loves her, will definitely come back from the Chicago set.


    If it weren''t for school tension, maybe Natalie would fly to Los Angeles.

 Chapter 413： Birthday party

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "Ryan, Mr. Varadislow? Spearman thinks that you have reproduced it truly and perfectly What do you think of him in his age?"


    Before entering Swift¡¯s villa, Ryan was stopped by reporters. Hearing that what they asked was not gossip, it was rare to say, "Thank you Mr. Spearman for your praise. He is an artist worthy of everyone¡¯s respect. , Music is his passion, life is his masterpiece. One second to remember ""The hottest novel is updated fastest"


    "The style of "The Pianist" is completely different from your past works. What prompted you to play this role?" The reporter also understands that there are not many opportunities to catch Ryan''s opening, and he won''t ask someone who has spread it. At the birthday party in Hollywood, I quickly asked about movies that have been praised by film critics recently.


    "I once starred in "Schindler''s List" and I am very touched by the past history. I just want to do my best for my ethnicity." Ryan''s acting skills are indeed Oscar-winning, with a face. Seriously stated, ""The Pianist" shows the power of music, the power of love, and the courage to resist all evil. History is a mirror. It can illuminate the mistakes we have made and prevent us from embarking on it in the future. Repeating the road."


    "Ryan, today''s party..."


    "Today''s protagonist is a minor, and she still enjoys the protection of the "Children''s Law"." Ryan deliberately reminded him loudly and went straight into Swift''s house.


    The front hall hidden by the bushes has long been turned into a children¡¯s playground. Ribbons and floating cartoon character balloons spread all over every corner. Those big dolls that Miss Taylor Swift tried so hard to search. It stands in the most conspicuous place.


    Simba and Nana in "The Lion King", Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor in "Jurassic Park", Cowdy Cowboy and Buzz Lightyear in "Toy Story". Some limited-edition dolls warmly welcome every guest who arrives.


    Especially a huge Pixar lamp, standing right in front of the villa. Under the gradually darkening sky, it exudes a dazzling light.


    Even in a conspicuous place in the living room, there is the 22-foot model of the Titanic.


    These are enough to prove how many good things the little girl has collected from Ryan over the years, and it also shows her position in the hearts of Ryan and Nicole.


    "Ryan, you will be late soon."


    As soon as he entered the living room of the villa, Taylor took Nicole''s hand and ran over, wrinkling his nose in dissatisfaction, "You always like to be late."


    "My dear, happy birthday!"


    Bend down. Ryan lightly touched the little girl''s face, and stuffed the gift box with the red ribbon in her hand, "This is a gift."


    "Can you open it now?" The royal blue eyes blinked.


    "Of course, now you are its owner." Ryan made a random gesture and stood beside Nicole. The Australian girl asked curiously, "What are you giving Alison?"


    "This is Barbie?" The little girl couldn''t help feeling disappointed in her voice, and then she became excited again, "Wow. Barbie in my image."


    "Do you like it, dear?" Ryan rubbed her curly hair.


    "Hmm~ Although it''s not that beautiful, I think this must be a unique Barbie." Tyler stuck out his tongue at Ryan, "You seem to have violated my portrait rights. Ryan."


    "I think you wouldn''t mind, would you?" Ryan laughed.


    This is what he called Mrs. Ruth Handler personally, specially made for Taylor, if the little girl does not authorize it in the future. Barbie is absolutely unique.


    "Count you through."


    Tyler ran up the stairs holding the gift, obviously to take it back to the room and put it away.


    "Why are you so late?" Nicole took his arm, and the two walked toward the hall where the adults were.


    "On the phone with Ridley. He asked me when to go to London." Ryan briefly explained, "The preparations for "Gladiator" are almost done, and now there is a shortage of actors."


    "I heard Gisele Bonchen mentioned that Leon seems to like the role of the emperor." Nicole remembered what Leonardo''s girlfriend had said.


    "Actually, Leon is participating in the final audition in London. If there is no accident, this role will be his." Ryan was talking to Nicole and greeted the people he met, so he could come to participate in Taylor. The birthday parties are undoubtedly acquaintances.


    "Hi, Drew..."


    "Gwyneth, you are beautiful again."


    "Ed, Russell, why are your faces so ugly?" Ryan couldn''t help but joking after seeing the two elders of Pixar.


    Although he has not officially entered the entertainment circle, Taylor has continuously participated in the dubbing of "Bug Crisis" and "Toy Story 2"


    It''s just that Ryan didn''t expect that Taylor also sent out an invitation to Pixar''s people.


    "It''s very simple, because Pixar''s warehouse will soon be moved by you and Nicole''s sister." Andrew Stanton looked at the dolls standing outside, especially the desk lamp, which was Pixar''s spare.


    "Jenkins Pictures is no better than you." Jules Stewart came over.


    "It looks like I have become a public enemy." Taylor''s voice came from behind Ryan.


    "Oh dear."


    Julis squeezed her face with baby fat, "As long as you are happy, the entire Jenkins Pictures is yours."


    "Can you divide me?" Austin Swift, who followed Taylor, was very non-existent.


    "Idiot Austin." Kristen Stewart covered his mouth. "The other part belongs to me."


    "Well, dear, you can go to the yard to play."


    Mrs. Andrea came over and pulled up a few little guys, "Your friends are still waiting."


    Although this is Miss Taylor Swift¡¯s birthday party, with so many adults, it is inevitable to develop in the direction of social parties, especially the visitors are basically Hollywood industry insiders, and the topics are always related. cause.


    "I''ll help."


    After a few conversations, Nicole went to help Mrs. Andrea greet the guests.


    When Ryan walked to a slightly quieter place, another girl quickly chased him, "Ryan, I have something to do with you."


    "Hi, Parrie, what''s the matter?" Ryan looked at Paris Hilton, who was still in a pink evening dress, "You won''t want to urge me to change the release date of "Girls in the Thunderbolt" again?"


    "That..." She hesitated, and still said, "Why not choose the Christmas stall?"


    "The February schedule is also good, but Drew carefully selected it." Ryan stared at her for a while, and suddenly said, "Parlie, wanting to be famous is a good thing. This shows that you have enough motivation and ambition. , But patience is also an essential quality."


    "Okay, okay, it''s only two months." Seeing Ryan''s firm attitude, the pink fairy nodded in agreement.


    "Also, Parrie."


    Since Ryan decided to transform her, she would naturally not let her up and down in Hollywood, "I asked Pat to say hello to your father and agent. After this movie is released, you will go to the California Academy of Art for further studies. No Quasi-objection, the objection is invalid! Don¡¯t forget, you have signed a contract with kk brokerage company."


    "Why... why do I feel like I sold it to you?" Paris? Hilton realized later.


    "Hollywood doesn''t know how many women are hoping to sell themselves to Ryan."


    You don¡¯t need to look at it. Ryan knows that it is Drew Barrymore who is coming by, "Really? Miss Barrymore, if you sell by the pound, you must be very valuable."


    "Ryan!" Drew''s nose was almost crooked with anger. Weight is the sensitive point of all women. "Am I as fat as you said?"


    "To be honest, Drew." Gwyneth Paltrow started following her approach, "You really should pay attention to your figure."


    Then, the three women had a lively discussion about weight loss and body shaping. Ryan was not interested in this topic, waved to them, and walked away.


    A beard led two women, one big and one small, into the living room. Scott was away for the time being, Ryan had to greet him.


    "Hey, Jim, I didn''t expect you to come."


    He greeted James Cameron first, and then said hello to the two ladies one by one, "Hello, Susie. Hello, Jessica."


    "I received an invitation from Scott, and Jesse was invited by Taylor." James Cameron followed Ryan into the living room and said, "It just so happens that I want to come over and discuss something with you."


    Nicole came over and greeted Susie Amis and Jessica Alba.


    Before they walked towards the female guest area, the Miss Jessica Alba thanked her specially, "On the big screen that I dreamed of appearing, I didn''t expect to be the heroine of a movie in the future. Thank you, Ryan."


    "You''re welcome." Ryan squeezed his eyes at Nicole who had passed the questioning look, and said after motioning.


    James Cameron and Susie Amis came hand in hand and attracted a lot of attention After all, his divorce case has not yet been completed, and now he shows up with another lady in this Occasionally, this relationship is obviously going to be made public.


    "Jim, here."


    Seeing James Cameron seemed to really have something to talk about, Ryan simply took him into a reception room.


    "Ryan, I heard Scott say that you want to temporarily delay the acquisition of imax?"


    Whether it is making movies or doing other jobs, the truck driver is a serious and responsible impatient, and he wants to complete the acquisition of imax as soon as possible.


    Of course, this kind of speed is also relatively speaking, after all, completing the acquisition of a listed company is not a simple matter.


    "Yes, Jim, I think the best time has not yet arrived." Ryan said after thinking about it. "We can use this time to prepare funds and improve the plan so that we can be foolproof."


    "Then when are you going to officially start?"

 Chapter 414： Give it to her

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "I''m waiting for an opportunity." Ryan didn''t mean to hide, and asked directly, "Jim, you know Is the stock market now?"


    "Of course." James Cameron nodded, "In the words of the media, the United States has entered the best era."


    "That''s correct," Ryan said with an open hand, "but the best times are coming to an end."


    After the disintegration of the giant red bear, the United States has entered the fast lane. The rapid development in recent years, especially the rapid rise of emerging industries represented by the IT industry, seems that the banner of the free world is about to be inserted all over the world.


    "Do you think the stock market will crash? When?" James Cameron is a smart man, and he can naturally hear the meaning of Ryan''s words.


    Strictly speaking, imax can also be linked to the it industry, and it is listed on the Nasdaq. The skyrocketing Nasdaq index has also raised its stock price. If it can be acquired at a low price, no one wants Spend more money.


    After all, anyone will like this kind of bargain hunting.


    "Jim, I''m a layman..."


    "Ryan, we are old friends. Leave these nonsense to others." The truck driver interrupted him without hesitation.


    "Jim, you must know that there is a shadow of Wall Street behind every big rise and fall of the stock market."


    After James Cameron nodded in agreement, Ryan continued, "This time is no exception. I can''t talk about how deep the stock market is, but I understand people''s hearts. Which is the craziest stock right now? "


    "Cisco?"


    "Yes, it is Cisco." Ryan only remembers that the time of the crash must be the first half of next year, and the exact date is not known at all. Many of what he said are derived from his own analysis, "Even Wall Street is qualified to manipulate the stock market. People are not sure when this bubble will blow up. I guess it will be next year."


    "So this acquisition will be postponed until next year?" James Cameron sighed.


    "We can use this time to make more preparations."


    Ryan''s words were approved by the truck driver. You can get what you like for less, why not?


    The truck driver left the lounge first. Not long after, Scott knocked on the door and walked in, greeted Ryan, and sat on the other side.


    "Ryan, when do you think the stock market will crash?"


    "Only God knows this." Ryan stretched out his hand helplessly and looked at Scott. "You don''t want to short the stock, do you?"


    "Why should we let things that can make money?" Scott laughed.


    After thinking for a while in silence, Ryan suddenly asked. "Scott, if you were a Wall Street speculator, when would you choose to attack the stock market?"


    "When the Nasdaq Index reached a peak..."


    "So we can''t guess the time of the stock market crash, but we can always see some signs." Ryan vaguely remembers that the fuse of the stock market crash was Microsoft''s monopoly and the huge selling order, and there must be a shadow of Wall Street. , "And this omen..."


    "Cisco surpassed Microsoft and General Electric to become the world''s most valuable company!" Scott said the answer first.


    "Secure and secret, don''t take unnecessary risks."


    Finally, he exhorted. Ryan also left the reception room, and he believed that Scott''s ability was enough to handle all this.


    More and more people gathered in the spacious and luxurious hall, among them there were many energetic minors, except for Taylor''s friends who often played together. Many trainees from Warner Records also came.


    I don''t know if it was Tyler''s invitation or the other party''s initiative. When Ryan found Nicole, standing opposite her was the little girl''s biggest rival at Warner Records, Miss Stefani Germanotta. Accompanied by the agent, the other party was talking quietly to Nicole.


    Ryan always felt a little familiar after seeing her. If the other party changes their hairstyle and clothes, they will look a bit like the female singer who was famous for her exotic clothes in her previous life.


    "The matter is over?" Nicole asked caringly after the other party walked away.


    "Huh huh~" Ryan lowered his voice, "I plan to cooperate with James to acquire imax."


    "The company that makes cameras and theater equipment." Nicole is also the chairman of Jenkins Pictures, and these are not unfamiliar to her. "If you think you can, then do it."


    The warm applause suddenly remembered in the hall. Ryan looked up and saw that today''s heroine changed into a puffy dress and walked down the stairs, while a huge cream fruit cake was taken by Scarlett Johansson. And Kristen Stewart pushed to the center of the living room together.


    The little girl hugged her parents and younger brother first, then walked to Ryan and Nicole''s side, and when they bent over, they kissed each of them on the cheek.


    "I love you." Taylor said seriously.


    "I love you too, dear." Ryan took back half of his outstretched hand, and the little girl''s usual fluffy curly hair had been tied into a beautiful bun.


    "Well, Tyler, it''s time to make a wish and cut the cake."


    Nicole led her to the cake. The little girl folded her hands and put on a pious look. After a long time, she opened her eyes and quickly blew out the ten candles on the cake.


    In a blink of an eye, even Taylor has grown up.


    Ryan sighed from the bottom of his heart, then clapped his palms again, and there was a tide of applause in the living room again.


    Taylor only cut the first knife, and the Swifts took the knife, and then pieces of cake were delivered to the customers by the waiter.


    "Ryan, this is yours." Tyler walked over with the paper tray.


    Scarlett Johansson and Kristen Stewart behind her were still laughing, which immediately aroused Ryan''s vigilance and warned, "Alison, this is a public place."


    "I won''t throw the cake on your face." The royal blue eyes rolled over, and a piece of cake was placed in Ryan''s hand. The little girl said a little disappointed, "I will save another piece and mail it to Nat. ."


    "What gift did she give you, Nat is a rich man." Scarlett asked curiously.


    "A red crystal necklace." Tyler waved his hand casually and said, "She wouldn''t come over. I will definitely show her a good look next time."


    She rolled her eyes and asked Ryan, "I just heard Nicole say that you are going to Hawaii for vacation, can you take me?"


    "No!" The voice of opposition came from Taylor''s brother Austin Swift.


    "Austin, I officially announce as my sister!" Taylor crouched at his brother, "Permanently deprive you of your right to speak."


    "But you promised Mom and Dad to go back to the Christmas Tree Farm for Christmas together." The little boy said weakly.


    "Ah... I almost forgot." Tyler scratched his face, and said to Ryan carelessly, "Okay, we''ll go out together next time."


    The corners of Ryan''s mouth trembled, as if he didn''t have a chance to speak from beginning to end.


    "What are you discussing, so lively?" Nicole walked over from the crowd.


    "By the way, Nicole, I heard that Ryan has ordered two yachts. When can I build them? I really want to go out to sea."


    Hearing Tyler''s words, Ryan had the urge to cover his forehead. This little guy was too gossiping, too informed, and his mouth was a bit big.


    "It should take a while."


    One of the yachts belongs to her, and Nicole knows a little bit more, "My dear, if you want, I can borrow a yacht later, and we will go out together."


    "really?"


    Nicole fondly kissed her cheek, "I''m not Ryan who loves letting people go, but I have to wait to finish my current job."


    Nancy Meyers has always been known for its delicate and slow filming, and "Man Hundred Percent" is still some time away from being closed.


    "Are you sure you want to put down your work and accompany me to Hawaii for vacation?"


    After the group of chirping little guys left, Nicole looked at Ryan seriously. In the past six months or so, the two of them have rarely been alone for a long time.


    "Hey, my dear, haven''t I already promised you." Ryan whispered as he walked towards a quiet place, "Christmas plus New Year, we have a long holiday, and the PR is handed over to Pie That¡¯s great, just a few nominations. For our team, it¡¯s not that difficult."


    "By the way, I heard that Lanai is for sale, why don''t we buy it?" Nicole said Lanai was the location where "Jurassic Park" was originally filmed.


    "Larry Ellison is also participating in the competition." Ryan suddenly thought of the madman. Although this character is not very likable, but his heart is broad enough, after the original things, he didn''t mean to make trouble. The other party obviously doesn''t want to start an inexplicable war just because of this trivial matter, "Since you like it, then notify Pat to participate in the bidding."


    "Ryan, you can''t take everything to Pat." Nicole looked at where the manager lady was. "She broke up with her boyfriend again."


    Shaking his head and sighing Ryan also knows that compared to a smooth career, Pai Jinsli''s emotional experience can only be described as uneasy.


    The night was getting deeper and the guests kept saying goodbyes. The paparazzi and reporters staying outside the villa also chased their interested targets, and the lively party returned to calm.


    "My dear, you have collected so many good things before I knew it."


    When Ryan took the little girl farewell, he pointed to the dolls outside the villa, "Keep them well, don''t let them become Tracey."


    "That..." Tyler looked at Nicole expectantly, and after Nicole nodded, said to Ryan, "Can I get all the dolls and props you kept in the manor storage room?"


    "Well, someday you have time, you can go and pick whatever you want." Ryan knew that Tyler had long been focusing on the things he had collected when he was a child.


    Since she likes it, give it to her.

 Chapter 415： Lanai

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! After leaving the City of Angels and the plane arrived at the international airport on Oahu, Ryan and Nicole did not go The famous Waikiki Beach, but went directly to their destination Lanai by boat. Before coming to the Hawaiian Islands, Ryan had covered the Crescent Beach there.


    Standing on the highest deck of the rented yacht, Ryan used a high-powered telescope to observe the distant islands. Although the purchase of Lanai Island would cost about 300 to 500 million US dollars, Nicole was interested and he didn¡¯t mind. Luxury once.


    Besides, compared with the great depreciation of the U.S. dollar after entering the new century, this island will only become more valuable.


    Lanai Island covers an area of ??about 140 square miles and is the sixth largest island in the Hawaiian Islands. It is only 60 miles away from the famous Hunululu, and it has a duck pear shape overall.


    There is a small town on the island with only more than two thousand inhabitants. The current ownership belongs to the tycoon David Murdoch and the Hawaiian state government. In addition to the beautiful Crescent Beach and the almost original scenery, it is also the largest pineapple in the world. One of the origins.


    The island is well-known to the world because of two things in general. One is that it has become the main location for Jurassic Park, and the other is that Bill Gates once held a wedding here.


    Because of financial problems, David Murdoch, who is also a billionaire, had to consider selling his island property for cash out, and was approved by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission, which included two resort hotels, two championship golf courses and The club also has 88,000 acres of land including 600 acres of residential development, solar power plants, parks and public utilities.


    In addition to Ryan and Nicole, there are also super-rich people like Larry Ellison and Bill Gates who are interested in this island. Ryan can¡¯t compare with them in terms of wealth, but Ryan also has them. The advantages. That''s a lot of cash.


    He doesn''t need to raise money, don''t need to sell shares to cash out, nor need to borrow from the bank, or even need to use liquidity to sell many IT stocks. The funds on his face alone are enough to acquire several such islands.


    This is not counted as those trust funds controlled by various means. Those are the means that Ryan kept in the dark, waiting for the most fatal blow to the opponent in the future.


    However, according to the laws of the state of Hawaii, even if he bought the island. At most, they can only own 98% of the property rights, and the remaining 2% will still be in the hands of the government.


    After getting off the yacht, Nicole took Ryan and got in a convertible car, turning around enthusiastically along the narrow winding road on the island. From her expression, Ryan can conclude that the beautiful Miss Nicole Kidman is very, very interested in turning this equally beautiful island into a private domain.


    "I will let Scott transfer the funds to your account, and the rest will be left to you."


    When the car stopped at Crescent Beach, Ryan had already made a decision. "Don''t refuse, dear, in order to take care of my feelings these years, you have never accepted the birthday presents from me. This time you should make up for everything from the past."


    "Our competitors are two of the world''s top richest men." Nicole did not mean to refuse, "Then our actions will speed up."


    Nicole also knew where their advantages were. Since the original owner was eager to cash out, he must have encountered difficulties.


    In fact, Ryan knew that their competitor was actually Larry Ellison. Bill Gates is being frustrated by the Federal Court. Where is there too much time to consider buying an island, and the interest he showed is still habitually competing with madmen, as long as his competitor emerges. Lii should concentrate on going back to deal with the monopoly case.


    In addition to Crescent Beach, Ryan also leased all the nearby coasts. His bodyguards will keep an eye on every corner. If reporters and paparazzi break into this temporary private territory from the sea, George and others will entertain them. , Ryan also wanted to try whether there are sharks that cannibalize in this sea area.


    "Need a rest?"


    Entering the beach house, Ryan packed the luggage of the two people, "Would you like to sleep first?"


    "What do you want to do?" Nicole''s eyes were narrow and long, and she walked directly to the dressing room. "I want to swim in the sea more than sleep now, together, dear?"


    "Of course." Ryan followed afterwards.


    "My dear, this is the ladies'' dressing room."


    "But it didn''t say that men are forbidden to enter."


    "Damn it, my new swimsuit..."


    "Nicole, I remember you bought several pieces."


    After a long time, the two men changed their swimsuits and walked to the beach. When Ryan held up the sun umbrella, Nicole''s vicious eyes would sweep away from him from time to time.


    "Hey, my dear, your eyes are so bright, like..."


    Before Ryan was finished, Nicole threw him on the beach and pressed her majestic body with her slender limbs, "Believe it or not, I''m digging a bunker here and burying you alive."


    "I don''t mind if you are willing to accompany me." Ryan stared into her eyes and said.


    "Now is not the time to dream."


    Nicole said so, but the whole person was lying on Ryan''s body and sent a sweet kiss.


    After kissing the two red lips lingering painfully, Ryan used a little force to flip Nicole on the soft and delicate beach, hugged her slender body, and ran towards the sea.


    "Ryan, if you dare to throw me into the sea, I swear that I won''t let you into the room at night." Nicole instantly understood what he wanted to do.


    "My dear, I have the unfortunate news. I have the keys to every room in the villa." Ryan rushed into the waist-deep water against the sea breeze. "Wow, the water in Hawaii seems to be different. "


    With that said, Ryan put Nicole down gently, but how could she be willing to be frightened by the Australian girl.


    "We swim faster than anyone else. Those who lose have to listen to the words of those who win in a week, no matter what." Nicole''s suggestion was immediately approved by Ryan, "Okay, Nicole? Miss Kidman, you are determined to lose."


    Physical strength and endurance have the absolute upper hand, not to mention that before coming out, he just sent Nicole to the top in the dressing room. Based on past experience, Australian girls should not have much physical strength.


    "Wait." Nicole shouted to Ryan, who was ready to go. "Lady first, you should have no opinion, right?"


    "Of course." Ryan realized that it was wrong as soon as he nodded, but Nicole''s words were as fast as the action. "Did you see the shark prevention net in front? That is our goal. You can only start when I swim halfway." "


    Just when the voice fell, Nicole had already swam more than a dozen feet away, and at the same time a crisp shout came over, "When you say it, you must do it, Ryan."


    "Okay." Ryan responded loudly, "Even so, Nicole, you still can''t win."


    Even though the shark-proof net was the closest one, which was hundreds of feet long, Ryan didn''t believe that he couldn''t beat a woman who was about to become a soft-footed shrimp.


    Well, it is more appropriate to describe it as a mermaid with a soft tail.


    It wasn''t until a long time later that Nicole''s "You can go" voice came on the sea ahead. Ryan threw off his arms. At this moment, it was like a flying fish Thorpe who was in possession of him, chasing Nicole.


    Sure enough, as he expected, Nicole in front of him slowed down obviously, and has changed to a more labor-saving backstroke. The speed is really uncomfortable. Only those blue eyes will glance here from time to time.


    No matter how she looked at it, the distance between the two sides was quickly getting closer, and Nicole also switched back to freestyle.


    "Damn it! His body has completely recovered." Nicole couldn''t help but think of Ryan''s incompetence in the first half of the year.


    At the moment she was distracted, Ryan had already passed from the side, and turned back and waved to Nicole, "My dear, I''m going to win."


    Looking at the brilliant smiling face, Nicole couldn''t wait to rush up and take a few bites, but now she has to consider how to go wrong.


    Ryan finally touched the buoy of the anti-shark net and turned back to make a ¡®V¡¯ to Nicole, "Honey, from now on, in the next week, you will be my slave."


    "Do you still want me to be your "¡¡"?" Nicole swam over, hanging around his neck.


    Suddenly adding weight, Ryan almost sank, and after taking a moment to stabilize his balance, he said, "If you want, I don''t mind."


    "But I mind it very much!" Nicole suddenly laughed and shook her head casually, "Well, that''s the end of this matter."


    "Hey, it''s not fair." Ryan''s eyes widened.


    "I talked about a week, but I didn''t say which week it was." Nicole rolled his eyes and took the lead to swim towards the beach.


    Women are born to be shameless masters! Ryan could only helplessly follow.


    In the next few days, in addition to caring about "The Pianist", which is currently in theaters, Ryan devoted the rest of his energy to accompany Nicole¡¯s play. The pineapple garden, small farmhouse, and standard golf championship venues were all left Under their laughter. UU reading www. uukanshu.com


    There is also Lanai City. The people of this small town are simple and honest. Every evening, Ryan and Nicole will walk along a few quiet streets. Even if someone recognizes them, they will not come forward to disturb them.


    "Where shall we go next?" Nicole asked, walking on a quiet street.


    "How about going to Oahu?"


    As soon as Ryan''s words fell, Nicole''s brows frowned, "I''ve been there many times before."


    "Then go with me again." Ryan explained, "Steven and Michael Bay are taking the "Pearl Harbor" crew to shoot on Oahu. We are all old friends. If you come to Hawaii and don''t go to visit the class , Can''t justify it."


    "Pearl Harbor?" Nicole showed a strange look, "Is that the big production you recommended the heroine?"


    "Miss Kate Beckinsale already has a daughter." Ryan reminded.

 Chapter 416： Pearl Harbor on Oahu

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group


    Ryan also joined in, but he has neither worry nor joy for the coming of the new millennium, and it is no different from spending other New Years. If Nicole is not excited, he would rather hide in the villa and sleep peacefully. .


    The new year is here, which means that he has been in this world for twenty years. Similarly, Nicole''s age is one year older. Some things need to be solved urgently.


    Although age has never been a problem for him and Nicole, Ryan made up his mind to wait for the Oscar statuette, and he would not have those scruples, and let him be in a flood at that time.


    A few days after the New Year, Ryan took Nicole to Pearl Harbor on Oahu. The crew of Spielberg and Michael Bay set up a temporary set here, and it didn''t take long for the crew to start.


    Pearl Harbor is located at the lowest point of the plain between the Kola Mountains and the Waianae Mountains on the southern coast of Oahu. It is adjacent to the only deep-water port of Honolulu. It is a base for the US Navy and a shipbuilding base, as well as an island in the North Pacific. One of the largest and best safe berthing ports in China, ordinary civilian ships and foreign ships are not allowed to enter without special permission from the U.S. Department of the Navy.


    "The crew has the full support of the Navy Department. They also opened the USS Arizona Memorial to the film crew for the first time."


    After meeting Spielberg, a few people greeted briefly, and the old Jewish man acted as their temporary studio guide, taking Ryan and Nicole to visit the area open to the crew in Pearl Harbor. "The Texas government lent it Our USS Texas battleship. Its exterior scene can be used to shoot the attack scenes of the Tennessee, Oklahoma and West Virginia battleships, and the interior scene can also serve as the inside scene of the Bumblebee aircraft carrier."


    "The current production budget has increased to 140 million U.S. dollars." Spielberg seems to be under great pressure. "Post-propaganda costs will cost at least 60 to 70 million U.S. dollars. Ryan, the film is preparing for a new round of financing. Are you not going to invest?"


    Sure enough, put down the camera, Steven Spielberg is a standard businessman. Ryan sighed with emotion and said, "Stephen, if possible. Try to control costs."


    "It''s not like Ryan who invested in "Titanic"." Spielberg didn''t care much.


    Randall Wallace wrote this script for a long time. At the earliest, Disney planned to buy it for $2 million, but it was rejected because there was no dividend relationship. He later went to several film companies. The general content of the script is no secret to the big Hollywood producers.


    Ryan has seen a copy delivered by Randall Wallace to Jenkins Pictures. The main storyline of the story is the same as the previous life, and the dog-blood love triangle has almost overwhelmed the war scene.


    Although several times vaguely made suggestions to Spielberg, but the Big Three DreamWorks is now ambitious, it is bound to become the eighth largest producer in Hollywood, Ryan can not tell them directly. This movie will definitely fail. Not only will it be unpleasant, but the relationship with Spielberg will also take a turn for the worse.


    The three people soon came to the set, and Michael Bay was shooting some explosive scenes, which is his specialty.


    It''s just that the special effects department just used the method of burning the sanitary ball to create a few billowing black smoke, which was interfered by some people, and some guys in uniforms even quarreled directly with Michael Bay behind the camera.


    "Who are they?" Ni could see that Spielberg was also sad. Can''t help but ask curiously.


    "The supervisors of the National Environmental Protection Agency." Spielberg was also a little helpless. Environmentalists and other things are the most troublesome. "They have to supervise the filming of the film throughout the whole process. Such quarrels have happened several times."


    Ryan shook his head. Without speaking, he patted Spielberg''s arm sympathetically.


    The troubles of the crew after entering the environmental protection organization, he felt deeply when filming "Remains of a Deserted Island". At that time, it was only a non-governmental organization in Fiji. Now it has been replaced by an official agency in the United States, which is enough for DreamWorks to have a headache.


    Under the intervention of the supervisors of the Environmental Protection Agency, the crew could only temporarily stop filming, and then negotiated to come up with a plan acceptable to both parties. The actors also stepped out of the tense shooting state and took time to rest.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    The tall Ben Affleck saw him and walked over directly. The two sides have already cooperated on "The End of the World" and often participate in Oscars. Both are acquaintances. "Long time no see, come here to visit?"


    He looked at Spielberg, who was the producer on the crew who could make Ryan make a special trip over.


    "I''m on vacation in Hawaii, and stop by." Ryan suddenly thought of the other''s good friends and joked, "What about Matt? Are you inseparable all the time? Could it be that you have been abandoned."


    "Because I found a better partner."


    With that said, Ben Affleck pulled another actor over, "This is Josh Nehart, my partner in the movie."


    Ryan shook hands with him, interrupted Ben Affleck who wanted to continue introducing, and stretched out his hand to the English Rose opposite, "It''s been a long time, Kate."


    Opposite is his recommended heroine Kate Beckinsale. In the beginning, Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg preferred actors to be Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Charlize Theron. The latter two rejected the movie for various reasons.


    In view of Ryan''s past vision, Spielberg only held one round of auditions and decided on the heroine Kate Beckinsale.


    "I haven''t thanked you yet, Ryan." Kate Beckinsale said after the people around had dispersed.


    After coming to Hollywood, she understood the importance of opportunity to actors.


    "Didn''t you have already called." Just when he got the role, Ryan received a special thank-you call from the other party. "It''s just a small thing. If you are not good enough, Stephen and Michael will not use you. "


    Having said that, he couldn''t help but look at the English Rose. The other party hasn''t removed her makeup yet, and she looks like a 1940s dress, but vaguely feels that her temperament is extremely familiar. This has nothing to do with the previous life movies, but she seems to be imitating. who.


    Suddenly there was a shout in the distance. After Kate Beckinsale said sorry to Ryan, he hurried over.


    "Very beautiful actress." Nicole walked back from Michael Bay.


    "Honey, she is already a mother." Ryan motioned to Nicole to look at the other side.


    A woman who was supposed to be a nanny pushed the stroller, and Kate Beckinsale picked up the crying baby inside.


    Nicole looked over there with great interest. She has always liked children. Ryan looked at Nicole and suddenly realized that Kate Beckinsale was there in both the current makeup and the movies of the previous life. Intentionally or unintentionally imitating Nicole.


    Although the other party''s age is a few years older than Charlize? Theron, but to Hollywood, it can only be regarded as a complete newcomer, far from forming its own acting style.


    Ryan shook his head, even in the previous life, the other party has never formed his own style, if his face is tight, it doesn''t count.


    "Let''s go over and take a look."


    Nicole pulled him a bit, and walked over there first, Ryan had to follow.


    "Oh, what a cute little guy." Nicole leaned over and smiled at Kate Beckinsale. "May I know the name?"


    "Hello, Miss Kidman, okay, Nicole." Kate Beckinsale looked a little surprised, but said calmly, "This is my daughter Lily, Lily Moheen."


    "How old are you?" Nicole touched her nose, and the baby who was still sobbing suddenly laughed, "Wow, it seems that she likes me very much."


    "Not yet a year old."


    "Are you married?" Nicole asked curiously.


    Kate Beckinsale''s mood fell for an instant, Nicole smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, I thought..."


    "Nothing." Although having a child out of wedlock is not very glorious, it is not a big deal in open Los Angeles and Hollywood.


    Take the Hollywood crew as an example. When a lactating actress brings a child into the crew, as long as it does not affect the normal shooting, under normal circumstances, the producer will not interfere.


    How many celebrities in Hollywood have illegitimate children or illegitimate daughters, I am afraid that even the most gossip newspapers can''t count them.


    Probably, Nicole has always liked children. This Miss Lily Mo Xin, who can only rely on her instinct, obviously likes her very much and is always smiling.


    "What a cute little guy." Nicole hugged her over. "Much cuter than Alison when she was a child."


    "Alison should be sad to hear you." Ryan smiled and shook his head.


    Nicole also laughed She was just happily driven by the smile of the little guy. If it is really emotional, how could she compare to Taylor who grew up.


    Looking at the little baby Nicole was holding, Ryan naturally thought of her irresponsible father, and later stepfather, and the English rose opposite.


    He remembered that these three people worked together later, and the relationship has always been good. Coupled with the lovely Miss Lily Mo Xin, the relationship between the four of them can be called a very interesting gossip in Hollywood.


    After all, it was a baby who was less than one year old. It didn''t take long for him to blow the bubbles. After Nicole returned it to her mother, she took Ryan and walked towards the camera.


    "Ryan..." She suddenly turned her head and looked over, then stopped talking.


    "What happened?" Ryan was a little strange. Although Nicole was a more scheming person, she was always hearty in front of her.


    "I..." Nicole bit her lower lip. "It''s nothing."

 Chapter 417： Donkey cry

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group


    Here, Ryan thoroughly saw the ambitious side of the Big Three of DreamWorks, they bought six scrapped small battleships.


    In order to create the most spectacular and thrilling airstrike scene, Michael Bay decided to use 700 sticks of explosives, a 2,000-foot detonating cord and 4,000 gallons of gasoline to detonate the 6 ships. For safety reasons, the crew prepared thousands at the shooting site. Fire hoses and fire extinguishers are out of control with fire prevention, and all people around must wear gas masks.


    Director Michael Bay carefully installed 12 wide-screen cameras, one of which was shot by him personally. The scene was composed of 30 stuntmen, 90 extras, 9 airplanes, a camera boat, and countless special effects technicians. The co-constructed scene only took more than ten seconds in the planning, but it consumed countless financial resources, manpower and time.


    The explosive shells also showed their knowledge in explosions. This huge scene was carried out at the same time, and all the plans were not missed.


    "Michael is definitely a genius when it comes to shooting explosions."


    Standing on the side of the highest level of the rented yacht, after the smoke from the explosion had completely dissipated, Ryan put down the binoculars and said to Nicole who was standing next to him, "But in terms of handling emotional scenes, he is not even second-rate on."


    "You think there will be a problem with this movie." Nicole naturally understood Ryan''s overtones.


    "Have you read part of the script these days?"


    After Nicole nodded, Ryan continued, "Since this movie is named Pearl Harbor, it is most appropriate to describe it as a war epic, but what I see in the script is how the Japanese sneak attack serves as an American love triangle. The foil..."


    "Ryan, in this case, we two will talk in private." Nicole reminded him extremely seriously, "Although you have a good relationship with Stephen. But we still have a competitive relationship with DreamWorks."


    "Of course I know what to say and what not to say." Ryan made a relieved gesture. "Besides, with Stephen''s production, this movie may not be what I thought."


    Who can tell about things in the world, maybe Michael Bay''s inspiration will break out and a classic war masterpiece will be filmed.


    "However, when I saw Michael this time, I feel that he has changed a little bit from before." Nicole had talked with Bombshell for a while the other day.


    "Success brings confidence or swelling."


    Speaking of Boom Bay, Ryan thought of "Transformers." He had the right to adapt early. This series is Michael Bay''s life-saving work, if he still suffered two major failures in succession like his previous life.


    Of course, failure also brings experience and lessons.


    This kind of popcorn masterpiece is the most suitable for exploding shellfish. In Ryan''s plan, he is the first choice for the future director. The charm of "Transformers" lies in the love and killing of Optimus Prime and Megatron. From Cybertron to the good friends of the earth, the story or the plot, as long as the logic works.


    Otherwise, should Optimus Prime be struggling in the dark? Find yourself again? Few Transformers fans will like it.


    In fact, maintaining the protagonist status of Optimus Prime and Megatron will be bought by a considerable number of viewers, even if the North American market is weak. You can also go to the other side of the Pacific to make money, but he knows that this series has affected a whole generation of people on the other side.


    The movie only needs to grasp one theme, the Autobots in order to protect the earth. Fight with Decepticons! The sequel is that even if betrayed by humans, the Autobots still fought with the Decepticons in order to protect the earth! In the third episode, for the box office, the director and the audience''s needs, the Autobots will continue to fight the Decepticons!


    As for the two popular kings, Optimus Prime and Megatron, they can be resurrected when they die, and continue to fight when they are resurrected.


    In cartoons and toy models, there are so many well-known characters on both sides. Just pull a few out in each episode. Then, except for the protagonist, you can hang up or change the shape. The biggest advantage of this is that it can promote Sales of peripheral products.


    Thinking of the peripheral products, Ryan realized that he was negligent. The bulk of the profits of this series, the copyright of the toy model, is in the hands of Hasbro.


    "George."


    Ryan called Mr. Bodyguard, and after whispering a few words to him, George took the encrypted satellite phone and called.


    Probably seeing that Ryan had a job to deal with, Nicole went back to the cabin and changed her swimsuit, and went to swim in the sea behind the yacht.


    Ryan picked up the binoculars and looked at the war scenes being filmed in the distance from time to time, and from time to time at the beauty swimming in the sea like a mermaid, it was not fun.


    About half an hour later, George got a fax from Los Angeles, which contained the latest situation of Hasbro.


    It¡¯s completely different from Ryan¡¯s imagination. The toy manufacturers that used to be almost parallel to Mattel, are not so good now. In 1997, they signed a toy sales agreement for "Phantom Threat" with Lucasfilm. Unexpectedly, after the movie was released, the sales of peripheral products fell far short of the expected goal. The large amount of funds invested by Hasbro has not recovered the cost.


    Maybe next year, Hasbro can also be a goal of its own?


    Whether it is the Harry Potter series or the animated films produced by several animation studios, toys and dolls will be involved. If you can have a closer connection with Hasbro, the benefits will be completely different.


    There are game characters from Blizzard Entertainment, and you can also make dolls.


    Forget it, Blizzard is going to be sold in its own plan. If you don''t pay enough sincerity, how can you exchange Wall Street Jewish Group for its support in the future?


    They have a lot of shares they want.


    Moreover, sharing benefits with the vampires on Wall Street is a necessary choice. Even Li''s classmates have compromised with them. Can you fight them?


    Cooperation is the right way. People who don''t know how to cooperate and share have long been eliminated into the old paper pile of history.


    "George, remember to notify Scott and let him pay close attention to Hasbro."


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    At the end of the holiday, Ryan once again came to Queenstown in New Zealand after sending Nicole away.


    "Peter, I swear, I will not leave New Zealand before the end of the Aragonese scene!" Seeing the first side of Peter Jackson, Ryan made a promise.


    "Wow, Peter took out the authority of the director, and even Ryan bowed his head." Ilya Wood didn''t know where he came out, with a mess of silk around her body, standing next to the camera and joking. "I can imagine that Ryan is angry and our budget has been reduced. Starting from lunch, everyone on the crew can only eat mashed potatoes."


    "Ilya, what are you doing?" Ryan pointed to the tightly wrapped silk and counterattacked unceremoniously. "How come you are wearing the world''s largest condom?"


    "Damn it." Ilya Wood complained to the New Zealand fat man, "Peter, can you finish filming the Shiluo scene? I''m going crazy."


    The corpse in his mouth is the terrifying big spider.


    "Actually, I''m even more curious." Sean Austin, who plays Sam, also came over, "Ilya, how did you solve the problem of going to the bathroom?"


    Elijah Wood''s whole body is densely packed and tightly packed, which is indeed very curious.


    Ryan just came to the crew, and according to the plan, he was not in his turn. He was observing more often. Most of the location scenes of the crew have ended, and now more of them are shot in the studio.


    Not long after lunch, Elijah Wood was liberated from the spider silk. The first thing he did after removing his makeup was to rush into the bathroom with the speed and flexibility of Legolas, causing a laugh. sound.


    Then, before the next shot was taken, Peter Jackson asked him to pull a donkey into the studio, causing most actors including Ryan to surprise most of the actors, thinking that he would temporarily increase the scene.


    But is there any plot related to donkeys in the Lord of the Rings?


    Numerous pictures flashed through Ryan''s mind, and no relevant information was found.


    "Hey, that''s my important prop. Don''t scare it." Peter Jackson warned the curious cast and crew around, "This is what I encountered when I went to Wellington last time. The owner bought it back."


    "What did you buy for?" Ryan was very, very curious.


    "You''ll know right away." Peter Jackson let out his loud voice, "Everyone is quiet, the sound engineer is ready, live recording!"


    Then, the eye-popping thing happened. Every time the donkey barked, Peter Jackson would let the sound engineer replay it. The sound effect was almost turned on to the maximum. The entire studio was full of deafening donkeys. The sound has attracted the onlookers of many extras outside the studio This can be regarded as the biggest spectacle since the shooting of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.


    Gradually, Ryan heard some doorways. Although these voices have not been modified in later stages, they feel more and more familiar to him.


    It seemed...like the roar of the flying beasts on which Ring Spirit was riding.


    Ryan felt that his guess should be very reliable, because the two voices were equally unpleasant.


    "You are right, I think the voice of this donkey is most similar to the voice of a flying beast in my imagination."


    At the end of the recording, Peter Jackson proved Ryan''s conjecture, "I bought it back at a high price, just to dub the ring spirit''s mount."


    "Okay, Peter." Ryan slapped his ears, as if trying to drive away the amplified donkey''s cry. "If you want to record next time, please let me know in advance? I''ll hide to the queen. Go to town."

 Chapter 418： The best movies of the 90s

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion! "Difficulties exist in every corner of our lives, but we have never been afraid of difficulties."


    Ryan, dressed in Aragon, sat in the rest of the studio and looked at the extremely thin teenager beside him, as if he had seen himself ten years ago, "Brave New Zealander, may I know your name?" "


    "John Trudeau." The boy''s face showed an unhealthy paleness.


    He was specially invited by Peter Jackson to watch the filming of the crew. This New Zealand teenager is also a fan of the Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately, he has reached an advanced stage of cancer. After reading relevant reports in the newspaper, the Fatty Director specifically contacted the medical institution. I took him here to help him fulfill his greatest wish in the last days.


    "John, you must have read The Lord of the Rings?"


    After the other party nodded, Ryan continued, "Frodo Baggins'' sky was always shrouded in darkness, but he did not give up and finally completed his mission."


    "I will be strong too." The boy looked at Ryan hopefully, "Can we take a photo?"


    "Of course it can." Ryan agreed without hesitation, and then called the crew photographer, "Fanny, give us some group photos."


    The young man grasped the long sword at his waist, letting the flash light go on.


    "and many more."


    After the teenage mother came over, Ryan called them, ran to the props group, and asked for a prop knife, "John, this is the elven knife that Aragorn wears with him. I hope he can bring you courage."


    "Thank you, Ryan." The boy gave him a light hug and followed his mother out of the studio.


    The other party''s weak body couldn''t support it for too long, so he had to go back to rest.


    Sitting back in his chair, Ryan was looked as thin as he was when he was a child by John Trullo. Touched a harder and harder heart, thought for a while, and called an assistant nearby.


    "Rosie, check John¡¯s medical institution. I will pay for his medical expenses in the future. Also, donate US$1 million to relevant cancer research organizations in New Zealand."


    In the face of death''s greetings, there is not much he can do.


    Ryan''s remaining scenes are mostly scattered, and today he is still fighting the Orcs under the city of Minastiris, and tomorrow he will appear in front of the setting in the Fargon Forest. Accept the test of the white-robed wizard, and occasionally ride Brigo in the wild.


    From the third day of his arrival, the crew once again entered the state of Aragon, giving priority to shooting shots related to King Eliza. Ryan could not stay here for a long time, in far away London. There are two more crews waiting for him.


    A few days after Ryan came to the crew station, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for the 72nd Academy Awards.


    No surprise, the best actor nomination he cared about most appeared on this list.


    "The Pianist" won a total of four nominations for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor. Although not many, three of them are heavyweight nominations.


    It''s about Ryan, about Jenkins Pictures. Then there is "The Matrix", which has been nominated for four technical awards: best sound effect, best editing, best sound editing and best visual effect.


    Even if the reputation is extremely good, science fiction films still cannot escape the fate of being discriminated against by Oscars.


    With the nomination of the best actor "The Pianist", Ryan is already the fourth consecutive nomination since "Cat and Mouse Game", "Titanic" and "Remains of a Deserted Island". Others are in New Zealand and North American mainstream media There is no way to know the comments, but the film academy must be under a lot of pressure.


    Soon after getting the nomination list, Ryan received a call from Pie Kingsley.


    "Ryan, do I need Harvey and I to do our best in public relations?" In fact, it''s too late to start. But it''s better to do it than not to do it.


    "No, Pat, just follow the normal rhythm."


    Ryan doesn''t think that the older judges will vote for himself, especially when he faces a strong competitor-Kevin Spacey!


    "American Beauty" is a mainstream movie that can no longer be mainstream. Presumably it will be supported by the vast majority of judges, and Kevin Spacey, when it comes to actor status alone, both age and seniority have an absolute advantage.


    Of course, if the academy cramps and give that little golden man to him, Ryan won''t mind, although this may not be particularly big.


    I just hung up the phone, not long after we walked out of the trailer, Ilya Wood, Orlando Bloom, and Ian McLean who likes to mix with young people and other activists from the crew walked over. It seemed that the situation seemed to be special. Come find him.


    "Wow, Ryan, the fourth consecutive best actor nomination, you should be a treat!" Even after some distance, Elijah Wood began to yell.


    "Ian has been acting for so many years. How many Oscar nominations have I received in total?" Orlando Bloom walked over quickly. "Peter has no plans to shoot at night. Why don''t we go to a bar in Queenstown?"


    "This... is not suitable." Ryan winked at the British niche, and he immediately understood. Ian McLean only goes to a fixed bar, which is not suitable for them, "Then let''s find an open space and hold it. A little celebration dinner."


    "Let¡¯s call Peter, there are a few others, we¡¯ll have a barbecue party in the open space outside the station."


    Ryan¡¯s proposal was immediately approved by everyone. George immediately called to make preparations. When several people were about to go back and change their clothes, Ryan said again, ¡°Don¡¯t forget to call John Trudeau. "


    "Relax, Ryan, leave it to us."


    Whether out of sympathy or other reasons, the critically ill John Trudeau was unanimously recognized by the crew and became the most popular target.


    After the sun went down, the headlights outside the crew¡¯s station illuminated a large open space as bright as day, and several huge barbecue grills were erected in the most conspicuous places. A barbecue chef specially hired from Queenstown produced a strong New Zealand-style fresh barbecued meat was delivered to the tables where everyone was sitting.


    "Sam Mendes, he got the best director nomination for the first time he took charge of the film director."


    After drinking a glass of beer, Peter Jackson shook his head, and everyone could hear the envy in his tone.


    "Hey, Peter, he''s lucky." Veteran Ian McLean patted the big fat man on the shoulder, "Maybe you can get a few nominations with the trilogy."


    Ryan nodded in agreement and put down the food in his hand, "Peter, I dare to bet with you that when our elaborate trilogy, one is more successful than one, Oscar will be unrealistic for the first time. The movie bows his head."


    "That''s how you confuse James Cameron back then?" Peter Jackson was obviously lacking in confidence.


    "How about we make a bet?" Ryan raised an eyebrow at him.


    "What are you betting on?"


    "If the "Lord of the Rings" series allows you to get the best director, how about selling your shares in Weta Studios to me?" Of course Ryan is joking. How many adults with normal IQ will have Take a bet on this kind of thing?


    Peter Jackson knew this too, and also joked back, "If you lose, give me Pixar Studio for free?"


    Everyone laughed at the same time, and then they did not know who called ¡®cheers¡¯ and immediately raised the cup.


    "Ryan, do you think Director Polanski can get the best director?"


    Orlando Bloom looked gossip, everyone knows Polanski''s situation, if he can get the best director, it must be very interesting.


    Of course, it would be even more exciting if he could come to Los Angeles to receive the award in person.


    "It''s hard to tell." Ryan shrugged.


    In fact, he just signed up for the other party, but didn''t put much effort into public relations. If Polanski didn''t act on his own, this little golden man would definitely not belong to him.


    "Then who is the hot choice in your mind?" It was Peter Jackson.


    "I personally like Sam Mendes." Ryan vaguely remembered the director, first because of "American Beauty," and second because he married Kate Winslet.


    It seems that one of his later works is not as good as one. I don''t know whether it is a personal level problem or a tragedy caused by a too high starting point.


    "But good multimedia says "The Pianist" is the best movie of the year." Ilya Wood said puzzledly.


    "Dear Mr. Frodo Baggins." Ryan put on a very serious look, "Don''t forget, there is also good multimedia saying that "American Beauty" is the best movie since the 1990s. "


    "For those of the media and film critics, just take a look."


    The experienced Ian McLean waved his hand, as if driving away flies, "Don''t take it too seriously."


    Sean Austin, who was taking care of her daughter, raised her head and looked over directly, "Ryan, which one do you think is the best movie in the nineties?"


    "Me?" Ryan pointed to himself, then smiled, pretending to be mysterious, "You can guess."


    ""The Shawshank Redemption"?"


    ""Forrest Gump"?"


    "The Sixth Sense?"


    ""Remains of a Deserted Island"?"


    "Could it be "Home Alone"?" Ilya Wood''s unreliable answer attracted a lot of condemnation.


    "Okay, Ryan, you can say it yourself."


    Ryan smiled, just about to say the answer, and suddenly a clear voice came from the direction of the resident door behind him, "Of course it''s "Titanic"!"


    "Why?" someone asked rhetorically.


    "Because "Titanic" has triggered an unprecedented movie-watching trend in the world, and it is also the movie with the widest audience and the most popular with audiences." That voice''s explanation seems very reasonable, but the next thing to add, let Everyone stayed on the spot, "The more important reason is that "Titanic" has the highest box office and made the most money. It seems that someone has become a billionaire based on the profits of this movie and the surrounding area."

 Chapter 419： Song of hope

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "Ryan, I''m right. Remember in one second ""Popular novels are updated fastest"


    Hearing this, Ryan could only turn his head back helplessly under the gaze of everyone, and looked at the thin girl, "Sure enough, Nat is the person who knows me best."


    "Hello, Miss Portman."


    "Wow, Queen Amidala is here, can you sign for me?"


    "Ryan, I heard that you are going to play Anakin? Skywalker? Our Queen can''t wait." People who like gossip joked.


    Ignoring the clamour of these guys, Ryan walked up to Natalie, took her around a few tables, and introduced the chief creators of the crew one by one.


    When the bodyguard found a chair and Natalie sat down, Ryan asked, "When did you arrive? Why didn''t you call me?"


    "I''m on holiday. I will only be harassed by reporters when I stay in New York, so I came to find you." Natalie said casually, without any consciousness of a sudden attack. "A while ago, Taylor called me. I showed off the scenery here, so I stopped by for vacation."


    Looks like she likes this kind of sudden attack? This is not a good sign.


    In fact, he wants to know Natalie¡¯s whereabouts is a very simple matter. From the assistant to the bodyguard of the Long Island girl, all the staff he sent in the past, but this is a country that is extremely pursuing personal freedom, and Ryan does not want to offend Natalie''s sex.


    "Aren''t you happy when I came here? Or do you have a secret?" Natalie noticed his frown and stretched out.


    "of course not¡­¡­"


    When Ryan was thinking about what to say next, John Trutru¡¯s mother pushed him over and found Natalie, "I like Queen Amidala you starred in very much. Can you help me? Sign it?"


    At the time of the introduction, Natalie had heard Ryan talk about his situation, and at this moment, she patted his pale hand intimately, and took the fountain pen and signature book. Scratched on it.


    "What do you want to eat, I''ll get it?" Ryan asked Natalie after John Trudeau left.


    "No, I came here after having dinner in Queenstown." Natalie looked at the teenager who went to the other side and murmured, "God bless him."


    After speaking, Natalie pulled Ryan in a concealed way. She didn''t like sitting here and being watched by people, especially when the probing eyes of those people were enough to gossip.


    "Where do you want to go?" Ryan had to take her away from the barbecue party.


    "The quiet place just got better." Natalie followed him into the darkness, poking Ryan''s waist hard. Warned, "You are responsible for explaining to those people, I don''t want to hear those unreliable gossip and gossip."


    "Don''t worry." Ryan was not worried. "Even if they can guess something, they won''t talk nonsense."


    "Here, Nat."


    The two sat on the grass side by side, and could faintly hear the laughter coming from the party. Ryan changed the subject, "have you not taken any appointments lately?"


    "I want to focus on my studies for the time being." Natalie tilted her head and leaned on Ryan. "Recently, I haven''t encountered a script that touches my heart."


    Stroking the girl¡¯s thin back, Ryan slowly took Natalie into her arms and kissed her soft red lips gently, "You know. Nat, I¡¯m looking forward to "Star Wars Episode 2" Well, we will appear in the same movie then."


    Natalie said after kissing him back. "Don''t forget, Ryan, we starred in Schindler''s List together."


    "But we don''t have any rivalries in it." Ryan deliberately hugged a little tighter. The hands also walked up and down, causing Natalie to stare over, "This is the wild, Ryan!"


    "Then let''s go back." Ryan immediately hugged her and stood up, "Go to my trailer?"


    "I''m going back to Queenstown. I booked the hotel over there." Natalie struggled to get rid of Ryan''s entanglement, "I will come back tomorrow."


    After a long kiss, Natalie left the crew without hesitation and returned to Queenstown, dozens of miles away. Ryan knew what she was thinking and didn''t force it.


    "Hi, Ryan, where''s Miss Natalie?"


    When Ryan returned to the party, Elijah Wood leaned in and asked in a low voice, "What about people? We still want to have a drink with her."


    "Back to the hotel in Queenstown." Ryan poured a glass of ice juice and drank half of it in one sip.


    "Have you quarreled?" The elf prince''s gossip level is no less than that of Frodo Baggins. "Or are you really just good friends?"


    Ryan shrugged, neither admitting nor denying.


    "Quiet everyone! Be quiet, everyone!"


    Carl Urban, who plays Iomer, suddenly stood up. Contrary to the taciturn of the character in the movie, he is a standard loud voice, "Our Lord Charles, the brave Knight of Gondor, Lord Pippin, is John Te Trullo wrote a song and wants to sing it live!"


    Billy Boyd stood up cooperatively, bent over to everyone, and then went directly to Ryan''s side, "May I invite you together, my majesty."


    "Hey, Ryan, you helped Billy write that song." John Davis clapped his palms first, "I think Little John wants to hear your singing too?"


    Everyone slapped their palms like a boo, Ryan stood up with a smile, and John Trudeau still brought some touches after he came to the crew.


    The most typical is Billy Boyd who plays Pippin. This guy is very accomplished in music. He wanted to write a song for him, and finally found Ryan. The next song to be sung can be regarded as two people. It''s done together.


    Ryan raised his hand, and the scene immediately became quiet.


    "To the brave John Trudeau!"


    The two cleared their throats, without any instrumental accompaniment, so they began to sing a cappella.


    "Night has come, put down your sweet and tired head, go to sleep now, the dream will return to you, it is calling, and soothe your sad heart from the far shore."


    "Teardrops are still hanging on your face, why are you crying? It will not be long before all your worries will disappear, and bravery will be with us forever and ever."


    Because one drank alcohol and the other ate a lot of barbecue, the singing was not so beautiful, and there were even obvious sound breaks and dissonances. But there is a force in the song that can move people''s hearts.


    "On the calm horizon, what can you see? Why do white seagulls always call people to cross the ocean, when the bright moonlight shines, our ship will take you back home."


    "Everything will come back, the light in the water rippling like silver moonlight, the ship with hope will sail to the west!"


    Strictly speaking, Ryan and Billy Boyd seem to recite more poems than sing. However, this song of hope, which was clearly written for John Truu, still won acclaim.


    "I think. We should have a live recording and include this song in the DVD version or the future release." Peter Jackson is also a businessman in addition to the director. "What do you think, Ryan?"


    "It''s fine if you make your mind." Ryan waved his hand indifferently.


    The crescent crescent hung obliquely in the night sky, and the barbecue party had long since dissipated. When Natalie left, Ryan''s bodyguard took over at the side door of the station and drove out a black Chevrolet SUV. Like a ghost, under the cover of the black night, galloping towards Queenstown.


    Although it was wee hours, but in a hotel in Queenstown. Natalie was wearing her pajamas, sitting quietly in the suite, seeming to be waiting for something, becoming friends for more than ten years. She knows enough about Ryan, and she also knows her attraction to him, that guy won''t come over at night. That must be a miracle.


    As soon as the knock on the door sounded, Natalie opened the door, and then she was lifted off the ground. The familiar tongue broke into her mouth. She just fiddled with it a few times. Gave the most enthusiastic response.


    "Dear Nat." Ryan kissed Natalie bitterly and carried her into the bedroom. "We don''t have much time..."


    Compared to Nicole and Charlize, Natalie has a more independent personality, and the path he chooses is the least influenced by him. Sometimes Ryan feels that if there are uncontrollable factors in the future, the Long Island girl must have the greatest idea. One.


    However, this is not the time to think about this. From the day when Natalie accepted the assistant and bodyguard he sent and gave most of the rewards to Scott to invest, she has had an unseverable connection with him.


    Although Ryan left before dawn, Natalie also lost her sleep, sitting there thinking about the sweet moments of the past two people getting together, quietly waiting for the time to pass bit by bit, just like a few years ago, she Quietly waiting for Ryan to discover that she has the same status in his heart.


    This girl from Long Island is independent and proud enough. She always believes that she occupies the most important position in Ryan''s heart.


    The other party accommodates himself and never forces himself to do anything. Although he occasionally releases pigeons on trivial things, as long as he earnestly speaks and asks, he will always do his best to help himself, never find any reason and Excuses.


    After breakfast, Natalie left the hotel without any accident. Ryan''s bodyguard had already drove outside the hotel and sent her directly to the crew station.


    Randomly asked, she crossed the station and walked into a grassland to the west. There was still some distance away, and she saw Ryan who became Aragon riding slantingly. A horse walked unhurriedly in front of the camera.


    "This guy is really dirty and ugly." Natalie could faintly see the tattered costumes and muddy blood on his body.


    Shaking her head, Natalie walked towards the camera. She has never forgotten her dream of a director, except that when she passed a trailer that was supposed to serve as a dressing room, the words floating out of the unclosed car door attracted her to stop. Stepped down.


    "Do you think Natalie Portman and Ryan will be boyfriend and girlfriend?" Natalie still remembers this voice, it seems to be that Elijah Wood.


    "It should not be. Since 1996, the tabloids have hyped up the relationship between the two people, but there is no evidence until now."


    "Hey, don''t you envy Ryan?"


    "What do you envy?"


    "Don''t forget Charlize Theron, she has been pestering Ryan when she was on the crew."

 Chapter 420： ended

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "These are Ryan''s private affairs, not our responsibility. Remember in a second "" The most updated popular novels "Hurry" came the voice of Elijah Wood again, "By the way, if it were you, facing Charlize Theron and Natalie Portman, which one would you choose."


    "Of course it''s Charlie!" Several voices said in unison.


    "Why, shouldn''t it be because Charlie is friends with us?" Or Elijah Wood.


    "This is only one aspect." The voice paused and seemed to be organizing the language. "It is said that Natalie is very smart. While continuing her acting career, she can also be admitted to Harvard. This is enough to prove this, and she chose a major. It''s psychology, think about it, everyone, are you willing to find a girl who is smarter than yourself and can guess what you think, or a woman who is as delicate as Charlie?"


    "I''ll add one more thing. Charlie is better than Natalie if you look at appearance alone. Don''t forget, what Ryan once said, men are still appearance creatures after all!"


    "It''s the appearance party!" Someone corrected.


    What did this **** tell them? Natalie bit her lip and left here.


    She knows who Charlize Theron is and admits that he is more prettier than herself, but so what? There are countless women in Hollywood that are more beautiful than her, and there are also many around Ryan, but can beauty really pose a threat to yourself?


    Besides, beautiful women who want to be famous have pestered Ryan on various occasions. She has seen too many and too many. Although sometimes she has a little temper, Natalie never thinks they can compare with her.


    Yes, girls who are too smart are really not very likable, but Ryan is no ordinary person! This is Natalie''s true thoughts, that Charlize Theron is not her opponent at all.


    On cleverness, on scheming. In terms of understanding of Ryan, how many people in this world can compare to yourself?


    For some reason, her glamorous face with long red and blonde hair suddenly flashed in her mind. Thinking of her unusually indifferent attitude towards herself, Natalie felt that perhaps she was the biggest obstacle between Ryan and herself.


    but. Thinking of those people''s previous words, even though she didn''t pay much attention to it, Natalie''s thoughts about making friends with them faded away.


    When she walked closer to the set, she found that Ryan had finished her part and was wiping the dirty stains on her face with a towel. The unpleasant smell from the costumes occasionally drifted into the nose.


    "Why didn''t they clean it up?" Natalie couldn''t help but complain.


    "This allows me to better find the feeling of a ranger." Ryan smiled at her and explained, "The ranger who shuttles through the jungle and swamp every day cannot be as beautiful as an elf."


    Probably it was his turn. Ilya Wood and Olardo Bloom and other actors who had painted makeup came over. After seeing Natalie, they greeted enthusiastically.


    Seeing Natalie''s smile and responding one by one, Ryan couldn''t help but wonder, he was very familiar with Natalie, this was just a polite way she would only appear when she faced someone she didn''t like.


    "Did something happen, Nat?" Ryan asked.


    "Nothing." Natalie gave him a deliberate look. "I didn''t sleep well last night."


    Hearing what she said, Ryan could only close his mouth and quietly accompany her to stand among the actors, admiring the plot of the next filming.


    By the side of the set-up set, there was Olado Bloom dressed by Legolas. After Peter Jackson called the start, the British boy was just repeating an action, except for bow and arrow shooting! Still bow and archery!


    Although the prop arrow shot did not know where it flew, Orlando Bloom''s performance made the fat director nod continuously.


    Compared to Ryan''s always tattered makeup, she was so elegant, smart and beautiful. It is undoubtedly the most suitable adjective for the elf prince.


    "He''s so handsome!" Ilya Wood murmured while shaking her head.


    "Can''t be handsome anymore!" Billy Boyd nodded in agreement.


    "Can''t! Can''t!" Sean Austin also whispered, "He is so handsome that makes people angry."


    "That''s pretty!" Ryan corrected.


    "Ha, Ryan is jealous." Orlando Bloom walked over after finishing the shot. "I heard that in the beginning, Peter asked you to play Legolas?"


    "But he refused!"


    It was Peter Jackson who was talking. He had walked nearby and shouted to the surroundings, "Take a rest for half an hour!"


    "Oh, it''s a shame." Elijah Wood suddenly shook her head, "Why didn''t you recommend me to play Legolas? I want to be handsome too! Instead of being dirty and Sean all day Hidden in Tibet."


    "There''s still a chance." Ryan slapped him on the shoulder hard, "Ilya, if Peter is happy, maybe you will make a cameo on Legolas."


    The popularity of this character in the previous life is so high that he can be called the first person in the Fellowship Team, even though he is not very prominent in the original work.


    As there was no scene in the afternoon, Ryan simply took Natalie around. Neither of them were lovers of scenic spots, nor did they go to some famous scenic spots, but rode a horse to find a secluded place. Being alone, after all, there is always very little alone time for two people in a year.


    Speaking of horse riding, Natalie can ride at best. There is still a long way to go with the word riding. Most of the time, she is holding the saddle firmly, and Ryan leads Brigo around wandering around.


    "It''s called Brigo. It''s docile and very spiritual." Ryan is not a horse trainer and has no love for Lima. "When my scene is over, I''m going to ship it back to Los Angeles."


    Natalie can only roll her eyes. Although she doesn''t understand it very well, she also knows that the value of such an ordinary hybrid horse is probably not worth the freight, right?


    Well, as long as Ryan likes it. She shook her head again.


    "Want to try the feeling of running a horse, Nat?" Ryan asked when he reached an open field.


    "Too dangerous."


    As soon as she finished speaking, Ryan had turned on his horse and held the Long Island girl tightly in his arms, then shook the rein, Brigo shook his hoof, and started trotting.


    Ryan is not a fool, of course he knows the danger of running with a girl, so Brigo is not fast.


    Natalie breathed a sigh of relief and simply leaned her whole body into a generous embrace. The sense of security made her a little bit intoxicated. Looking at the white snow on the distant mountain, she suddenly asked, "Ryan, your role is just It''s over, are you going back to Los Angeles?"


    "I''m going to London next." Ryan bit her ear ball gently.


    "Gladiator? Harry Potter?" she asked again.


    "Hmm~" Ryan nodded, "Gladiator is already on, Harry Potter is making final preparations, and the training courses for those little actors are almost over."


    "Taylor went there too." Natalie turned her head and pecked on his lips.


    "I know."


    Taylor went there because of his instruction. In order to broaden the little guy¡¯s music path, Ryan specially found the London Philharmonic Orchestra, which has maintained a good relationship. He hired several masters and set aside a few days a week to teach her. .


    Although inspiration is one of the most elusive things, just in case, Ryan also found some of the most famous British songwriters to teach her how to accumulate through the little things in life. Creative inspiration.


    Taylor is still young now, which is a critical period of growth, and he can correct the messy creative concepts in his previous life.


    Ryan spent the next few days busy. Although the Lord of the Rings is still far away from the mirror, there are fewer and fewer shots belonging to Aragon, and privileges can always bring some benefits.


    Natalie did not stay in New Zealand for too long, and in the next few days Ryan''s shooting density increased, and there was not much time to accompany her. The Long Island girl simply took Ryan''s private jet to Fiji and continued her vacation. journey of.


    "Oh, Ryan, you are so sad."


    Looking at the packed luggage in the trailer, Elijah Wood said, "Couldn''t you keep some as a souvenir?"


    "Dear Mr. Frodo Baggins!" During this long shooting time, the actors were used to jokes. Ryan pointed to one of the big plastic bags. "There are slippers, toothbrushes, and discarded plastic bags. If you are interested, you can take all of the towels, you are welcome, and you don¡¯t have to say thank you!"


    "God, we have no genuine Blue Mountain coffee to drink from today."


    Hearing what John Davis said, Ryan simply opened one of the bags, took out the most authentic Lapsang Souchong black tea and Blue Mountain coffee, and stuffed them directly into the hands of''Mr Dwarf''. Remember, John, you owe me one million dollars!"


    "Well, I''ll look back and find some Mithril to return it to you, okay?" John Davis laughed.


    Anyway, they will continue to fight in Hollywood in the future, and everyone has no feelings of parting. After Peter Jackson appeared, he brought gifts that made Ryan a little surprised.


    "RyanThis is your sword!"


    What was handed to Ryan was the Nasir holy sword, the steel sword without blade he used during the filming. It was cast by a hand-made swordsmith in Wellington. Peter Jackson apparently used it as a souvenir. He exhorted, "Save it, don''t lose it. If you need to make up the shot, you should bring it to the crew as soon as possible."


    "No problem, Peter, I promise!" Ryan accepted unceremoniously.


    This is planned by the crew during the planning process. Each main character will get a prop of his own as a corresponding souvenir. For example, Charlize Theron, who has left the crew a long time ago, gets Arwen''s skirt, Cate Bran. Chet received the headdress of Queen Galadriel.


    In addition to Nasir''s Holy Sword, Brigo will also be transported to the dock with Ryan''s luggage. The trainer will accompany it to Los Angeles and hand it over to Jenkins Manor.


    As for him, after the plane that sent Natalie back, he will turn to the Far East and fly directly over the Eurasian continent to report to London.

 Chapter 421： How to be a good actor

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, Ryan''s long shoulder-length hair that had been left for a long time disappeared, and the neat short hair was re-dyed Later, it was closer to black. After the stylist had done all this, he left the dressing room and found Ridley Scott on the set.


    The old man was checking the progress of the arena. Due to the refusal of the city of Rome, the crew had to come to London and rented a territory of the Spencer family in Northampton, using steel pipe sets and corresponding building materials to temporarily build A huge arena.


    Although this arena is huge, it is definitely a typical case of no use. Except for the first few rows where people can sit, the back is basically set. If it lacks the support of the steel frame, it will definitely become a real tofu project.


    Even so, the crew also invested more than 14 million U.S. dollars in it. It started to build two months ago, and it has not been completed yet.


    "Ryan, I have to, this **** weather is terrible."


    Recently everything went wrong, Ridley Scott inevitably made a complaint, "And you, I hope you can accept Mr. Nicholas Powell''s gladiator training before filming your own scene!"


    Without waiting for Ryan''s reaction, the old man continued, "I know that because of the shooting of the Lord of the Rings, you have received strict training in swordsmanship, but in your script and my vision, the movie screen should be more realistic close combat. We will use metal weapons throughout. You are not only responsible for yourself, but also for other actors."


    "God, Ridley, you remind me of Kim Carey." Ryan changed his serious expression, "These are not problems, I will strictly follow the plan you made!"


    Although he has been reciting words in recent years, Ryan knows the level of Ridley Scott, the director of "Alien" and "Blade Runner", is undoubtedly an excellent film master, even if He is still reciting words after this movie.


    As for Nicholas Powell in his mouth. He is a true master of fighting, once participated in the shooting of "Brave Heart", and has a lot of experience in traditional Western-style fighting.


    In fact, the crew was after the final round of auditions. All the actors have started rigorous training, including a large number of stunt performers, they need excellent physical fitness and muscles full of explosive power, at least if it looks like this from the camera.


    Although the movie is on, the main actors are still training. Most of the shots are extras and scenery...


    After talking with Ridley Scott for a while, the assistant of the crew brought Ryan to the place where the actors were trained. For this, he was considered an experienced person and quickly changed into training clothes. He took a prop sword and walked towards the temporary training hall.


    The prop sword is indeed a metal sword, but it is an aluminum alloy sword, which is much lighter than the Nasir holy sword.


    This movie has a huge change from the previous life. At least in terms of actors, all the three main actors have changed. Ryan himself can¡¯t. Leonardo DiCaprio took the role of Emperor Commodores, and Jennifer Lowe played the role of his sister. Pez!


    Regarding how the Latin queen took this role, Ryan didn''t know much, nor did he interfere with Ridley Scott''s decision. Furthermore, it is not difficult to disguise her as a Roman.


    With the actors in training, Leonardo was the one who impressed Ryan the most. Lee''s figure was almost a full circle thicker, and even his face had a little extra flesh.


    Nicole got news from his supermodel girlfriend, Leonardo for this role. A professional team was specially hired to develop a detailed fitness plan for himself. After long-term training, the muscles of the thin body in the past were also bulged.


    Although the opponent is just a lot stronger. But in Ryan''s eyes, Li seemed to be approaching his former uncle, if he didn''t pay attention in the future.


    However, if Li is really determined to make a difference in Oscars, I am afraid he will follow the old path of his previous life.


    After waiting for a break in the court, Ryan walked over, greeted people including Jennifer Lopez, and came straight to Leonardo, "Hi, Leon, are you strong?"


    "Are you interested, Ryan?" Leonardo first shot the sword in Ryan''s hand and showed a ill-intentioned smile. "How about we have a duel before the filming begins?"


    "Are you sure?" Ryan Xin said that he can''t deal with professionals like George. If you can''t deal with even you, the swordsmanship this year will be useless.


    Although these swordsmanship does not have much effect, long-term practice can at least strengthen the body.


    "This one¡­¡­"


    Ryan also had a mean look on his face. Leonardo suddenly felt that this was not a good idea, and said quickly, "Just kidding, don''t take it too seriously."


    Having stayed here for the afternoon, Ryan followed Nicholas Powell''s request, spending most of the time, observing the difference between the swordsmanship used by the gladiator and what he learned.


    According to Ryan and Ridley Scott''s conception, although "Gladiator" is a Western-style fighting like "Lord of the Rings", it is more realistic, and there will be more close-to-hand combat shots.


    All actors must meet Nicholas Powell¡¯s assessment standards before starting their own scenes. This is not only for the crew¡¯s consideration, but also for the safety of the actors. Even if the prop swords are made of aluminum alloy light swords, they are cut on the body. It''s not that there is no possibility of broken bones.


    Leaving Northampton, Ryan drove to another production area not too far away, the ninth studio where the Harry Potter crew is located. It has been more than a year since the official establishment of this crew. No power on.


    There is no way to do this. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" is the beginning of the entire series. A lot of preparations have to be done. Costumes, props, scenery, models and even the actor''s modeling must be designed from scratch and then customized .


    Then there are those actors. It is not that they can play the corresponding roles immediately after the audition. Many of them have no real performance experience, and some basic training is required to bear the ability from acting and how to use age. Advantages to deal with annoying paparazzi are included.


    Taylor will come here to participate in the training after the weekly routine music study time. The singer also needs acting skills, and this can be regarded as a playful relaxation. After all, most of them are of the same age here.


    "I promise, Ryan."


    Chris Columbus accompanied Ryan to a huge conference room, and said, "The movie can catch up with next year''s Christmas at the latest."


    Ryan nodded, thinking about other aspects. Next year, there will be "Lord of the Rings 1" that will definitely be completed next year. In order to maximize the benefits, we must stagger the schedules of the two movies, otherwise it will be a sad reminder to fight ourselves. Up.


    "They are about to end get out of class?" Ryan asked before walking into the meeting room.


    "Well" Chris Columbus nodded, "We are under the supervision of relevant British institutions. These guys conduct their own studies in the morning and train in the afternoon."


    When the two knocked on the door to enter, the order disappeared instantly, and many people rushed over like a tide, surrounded by Ryan, asking for autographs for friends, and asking for photos for relatives...


    "Quiet! Quiet!"


    Chris Columbus, the director, is still very authoritative. The room suddenly became quiet, and then there was a girl''s disdainful voice, "You are all about to become big stars, and you are just like a kid. You really haven''t grown up, Emma. , Don¡¯t become like them."


    The girl sitting next to her nodded and said cooperatively, "Confidence and pride are indispensable conditions for success, I still remember."


    Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head, as if Tyler was making up some misconceptions to fool people.


    "What about you, listen up." Taylor''s voice rang again. "I have a lot of Ryan''s autographed photos. If you want, you can exchange a variety of limited edition toy dolls..."


    After that, he deliberately stuck out his tongue at Ryan.


    Ryan just smiled and made a shut up gesture to her, another active girl jumped out again, "Everyone knows that Ryan is a very popular actor, and is also recognized as an actor with excellent acting skills. Please invite him below. Tell us what we can do to become a good actor, okay?"


    "Okay!" The applause broke out.


    Facing these enthusiastic minors, Ryan thought for a while, walked in front of them, and the room suddenly became quiet.


    "A good actor, in addition to talent, depends more on his own exploration and training during shooting." Ryan has never been a theoretical school, and can only rely on past experience to summarize, "To become an excellent actor, The first is curiosity, because the actor should first be interested in the role, have a strong curiosity to explore the story and environment behind the role, and the inner world, and secondly, be empathetic and put yourself in the understanding of the role."


    In the end, regardless of whether these guys can understand or not, he solemnly warned, "Also pay attention, performance does not require ego, if ego is too strong, you will bring your own mentality into it, so that you will act all the roles into You After finishing, Ryan winked at Taylor and walked out of the room.


    As for how much those guys can hear and understand, it''s not something he should worry about.


    "Ryan, the teachers you were looking for are so staid." After Tyler followed him out, the first sentence was a complaint, "I''m not used to it."


    However, when Ryan''s eyes were swept across her face, the girl shrank her neck and said, "Well, I admit, they are very knowledgeable about music."


    "My dear, if you want to build your own success in music in the future, hard work and study are indispensable factors."


    Listening to Ryan''s admonition, the girl nodded solemnly.

 Chapter 422： Stupid Group of 4

    "where are we going?"


    Seeing the commercial vehicle driving out of the studio, Taylor asked curiously, "Didn''t you just come back from Northampton?"


    "My dear, are you going back to the hotel? Or go to the airport with me?" Although Taylor''s mother did not follow, Ryan had a special housekeeper to take care of her in the presidential suite reserved for her at the Hilton Hotel.


    As for the car and driver to pick her up, George arranged it alone. As long as she doesn''t make trouble, safety and life are not a problem at all.


    "What are you going to do to the airport?" The little girl realized that she had asked a silly question, and immediately changed her words, "Who is it going to pick up? Is Nicole here, or Nat has come to London?"


    The person Ryan picked up at the airport was neither Nicole nor Natalie. Not long after the business car stopped at Heathrow Airport, Chen Jiazheng, Darren Bowsman and other four people, under the guidance of George¡¯s phone call, found Here.


    "Wow, our treatment is not even enjoyed by the President of the United States and the Secretary-General of the United Nations." After the most active Reese got on the commercial car, he made a strange call, "Our dear Ryan Jenkins came to pick up the person in person. It''s an honor."


    "Shut up, Reese." David pushed him, after all, this is not when their classmates are alone, there are bodyguards here, "You don''t talk, no one treats you as an egg."


    "Is there an ugly egg like Reese in the world?" Taylor curled his lips in disdain.


    "Hi, Tyler, you have grown taller again..."


    "Wow, our lovely princess has grown up..."


    Four people greeted her, and Taylor also showed a warm smile. "Hello, idiot group of four!"


    Stupid Foursome? Chen Jiazheng and Darren Bosman looked at each other. It seems that the four of them are the best batch of students at the Film Academy of Southern California, right?


    "Naughty." Ryan flicked the little girl''s forehead lightly.


    Then, he looked at Chen Jiazheng, "Chen, have you found a partner for the entrusted matter?"


    "Yes." Chen Jiazheng nodded solemnly, and after Ryan made an okay gesture, he continued, "We are through Mr. Xu Ligong''s relationship. We contacted a Chinese film company, and the other party has a stronger relationship. The current company¡¯s head of China is currently negotiating with them."


    "Ryan, will China''s film market really show explosive growth?" He asked again.


    "It won''t take a few years for you to see its potential." Ryan didn''t elaborate, and any words could not be more convincing than facts. "I will let Mario pay attention to the progress of things, this time thank you very much."


    This kind of negotiation, if there is an authentic Chinese as a bridge, although it will not be a harmonious group, it should always be more convenient.


    "Ryan, do you really want to choose a Chinese actor for Zhang Qiu?" Darren Bowsman knew a little.


    "I will answer for Ryan." Tyler raised his hand. Seeing that Ryan had no objection, he deliberately pretended to be an adult, "Because I want to use this candidate to open up the entire Chinese market for the Harry Potter series."


    "I''m right, Ryan?" She smiled and looked over.


    "My dear. Maybe it''s the biggest mistake not to let you play Miss Know-How." Ryan also knows. She and the tomboy spend a lot of time wandering around in Jenkins Pictures. The degree of gossip of the two little guys, plus the fact that the entire company has no restricted area for them, always get a lot of news.


    "Oh, now you can''t make up for this mistake." Taylor shook the golden retriever and said seriously, "Emma is now my friend. If I steal her role, she will definitely be very sad, so I decided to give up Hermione Granger forever."


    Although many friendships cannot last a lifetime, they need to be cherished while they still exist. This is one of the most beautiful feelings of mankind.


    The little girl who has always been naughty and can understand the preciousness of friends, Ryan felt very pleased and rubbed Taylor''s head affectionately.


    Then he asked the other four people, "Have you thought about it, do you want to go to the "Gladiator" crew or the "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" crew?"


    "Of course it is "Gladiator"." They made the choice without hesitation, Darren Bousman explained, "We will not choose family carnival movies as our own path in the future."


    "Actually, after shooting last year''s short film, we had an idea for a new movie." David, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and Reese next to him continued, "We plan to cooperate again after graduation this year to produce a new film. A horror movie."


    "Ketchup or something, it''s the most annoying." Tyler stuck out his tongue at them.


    The four of them didn''t mind, Reese continued, "Darren really wants to use more tomato sauce."


    "To be precise, he wants internal organs and severed limbs to fly everywhere..." Chen Jiazheng just said here, and saw Taylor making a grimace, and quickly shut his mouth, "Sorry, let''s talk about it on another occasion."


    "I''ve seen "Reaper Is Here", it''s no big deal."


    As soon as Tyler finished speaking, he was picked up by Ryan and sent to George. Mr. Bodyguard took the headset and put it on her ear, "Listen to what song?"


    "Ryan''s childhood album..."


    Ryan and others no longer care about the people in front, and can speak freely without the presence of minors.


    "A few of us have recently watched horror films from all over the world and have some new ideas." Darren Bousman said while considering the wording, "Just like Chen said, we plan to shoot a traditional movie. The American horror films of the past are still very **** ones."


    Nodded, Ryan made a continue gesture.


    "We plan to design some special machinery and mechanisms, and then, like a game of clearance, let people be tested, and those who fail to pass will die. The methods of death will be varied and very bloody..."


    Listening to Darren Bosman''s words, Ryan couldn''t help but have a strong sense of immediate sight. The movie of the organ killing show, right?


    "What about the script?" Ryan asked.


    "We are only preliminary planning, and the script will only be written recently." said David, who is good at writing scripts among the four. "The movie will be completed in a few small scenes. We need to control the cost."


    "Speak up if you need it." Ryan nodded.


    Now he doesn''t even have the most basic script, and he doesn''t have much to say. If it is really similar to some movies in the previous life, he can also make some comments.


    These four people will graduate from the USC Film Academy this summer. Chen Jiazheng is determined to return to China after accumulating enough experience. The other three people, under the influence of Darren Bosman, gradually become interested in horror films. With their identities as pure newcomers like graduates of USC, it may be a good choice to practice in low-cost horror films.


    After sending the four of them to the hotel where the Northampton "Gladiator" crew stayed, Ryan returned to London. Now he is more trained as a gladiator, and it will take some time before the official filming.


    Back at the Hilton Hotel, Ryan had dinner with Taylor and went to the presidential suite on the top floor. He took care of the work at hand, and the little girl had time for her routine instrument practice.


    Taylor was sitting in front of the black piano, pressing the black and white keys earnestly, and the music that popped up was not so smooth. Compared with the guitar and banjo, her piano attainments can only be described as just getting started.


    "There were **** errors in the first, third and fifth bars."


    Ryan''s appreciation level was still there, and after the little girl had finished playing for a while, she immediately pointed out her mistakes.


    "I just started to practice this piece. It''s normal to make mistakes." Taylor wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction. "You guy who throws the music away will make mistakes if you come over and play now."


    "Well, you go on." Ryan raised his head and returned to the back of the laptop.


    This is the latest box office report from Jenkins Pictures, focusing on "Reaper is Coming", "Toy Story 2" and "The Pianist".


    Although "Reaper Is Coming" won more than 30 million US dollars in the box office in the first week, the genre cannot be as popular as a commercial production. The box office in the next few weeks has been showing a state of plummeting, and finally it is offline in North America At the time, the box office of more than 110 million US dollars was enough to make Tom Hanks and Jenkins Pictures profitable. If you add the overseas market that is still in theaters, it can be described as a big sale compared to investment. Not an exaggeration.


    "Toy Story 2" was officially downgrade in North America this week. Although a little more than $300 million is still far from the box office of "Star Wars 1", it is enough to overwhelm other movies and become the North American box office last year. Runner-up in the leaderboard.


    It is also popular overseas, and the current global box office has exceeded $500 million.


    As for "The Pianist", shortly after it landed in North America, it was released in Europe one after another. Both North American film critics and European media gave this film unanimous praise, but it couldn''t change the awkward situation of the film''s applause. .


    Even though Ryan¡¯s appeal drove the North American box office in the first week, the slow pace and cold atmosphere of the film meant that it could only be a niche movie. Starting from the second week, the film¡¯s The box office is tepid, and there are no more than 800 theaters in North America.


    If you only talk about investment and the box office ratio, this is definitely a movie that hits the street. Even if the starring role is called Ryan Jenkins, it still cannot save it from the box office.


    So far, the film has been released in North America for more than a month, and it has only won a box office of less than 30 million U.S. dollars. Together with the European regions that have already been shown, the global box office has been close to 50 million U.S. dollars. This is also a small comfort.


    Of course, Ryan had already anticipated this situation, and it was unrealistic to expect "The Pianist" to make money.


    In the following week, in addition to handling some tasks through satellite phones and the Internet, Ryan devoted most of his energy to the training of gladiators. The swordsmanship training and the shooting experience of the Lord of the Rings in the past year gave him a huge help. Gradually Found a state belonging to the gladiator.


    However, just before the filming of his part started, unexpected news came from the North American side. (To be continued.

 Chapter 423： Horse manure and horse urine

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! On the first day after entering the new millennium in February, Disney held a press conference at Burbank¡¯s headquarters to announce Tyrese Gibson, Emile Morik, Ilke Bergs and Haas Duhamel will join Disney Animation Studios as its important technical managers.


    The names of these four people are relatively unfamiliar to most of the media. Only the reporters who ran computer animation at the school know that they are definitely masters in computer animation technology because they come from the core technical management department of Pixar Studios.


    Like Ryan, there is no corner in the world that can''t be moved. Will the price be tempting?


    The four people triggered the breach of contract compensation clause in the contract and bought out the remaining contracts at a high price. The money will naturally be paid by Disney, and after the job change, both positions and salaries have risen several steps.


    The most important point is that these four people also used another clause in the contract and sold a total of 1.6% of Pixar shares in their hands to Walt Disney at a premium of 20%.


    And Disney officially became a shareholder of the competitor, Pixar Studios.


    However, this has not attracted too many people''s attention. After all, it is normal for Hollywood producers to hold each other''s shares, and this share of shares is far from shaking Pixar''s current status.


    The reason is simple, Ryan holds absolute controlling rights in Pixar Studios.


    Ryan''s shares were inevitably diluted in the 1995 listing and subsequent issuance of stocks, but to this day, he still holds 51% of Pixar''s shares, which is enough to maintain control of Pixar.


    If you add the shares in Nicole''s hands, Pixar is almost completely named Jenkins.


    Disney''s digging into the corner of Pixar did not bring a chain reaction. From the animated films being produced in the stock market, Pixar Studios is still moving forward step by step.


    Actually. Only the executives of Ryan and Pixar know that Disney has used all the means within the rules to frequently contact with other shareholders of Pixar Studios, wanting to acquire the shares in their hands.


    however. These people are not the core founders of Pixar such as Ed Camel and John Lasseter. What Disney can give now is far from tempting them. It seems that all of this is useless.


    Even Michael Eisner¡¯s agent personally approached Nicole Kidman. Ryan had no way of knowing what they were talking about, but he believed in Nicole, and Nicole did not let him down.


    Ryan is not a fool. Coupled with the memory of his previous life, he faintly understood Disney''s request-the acquisition of Pixar Studios!


    It''s really interesting. After Ryan learned the news, he sighed with emotion, and his plan only started a little bit. Disney has kicked off the curtain...


    Probably it hit the wall one after another. It didn''t take long for Disney to quiet down temporarily, but another group company jumped out.


    The Vivendi Group from France officially submitted an application for the good faith acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment to Ryan''s agent Scott Swift. Because of the premium acquisition method, the total transaction volume reached 4.5 billion US dollars. .


    Vivendi is coming menacingly. It seems that they have reached a tacit agreement with Disney and have chosen a very suitable entry point.


    If it is changed to another time, Ryan will still worry, but now in 2000, Cisco is striding towards the throne of the world''s largest company by market value.


    At that time, where will these group companies have extra energy to acquire it companies?


    but. Disney is definitely an exception. After all, Pixar Studios can revive their traditionally superior animation department, and common interests are not allowed to bring the conflicting Disney board together again.


    In the free time filming "Gladiator", this is Ryan''s most consideration.


    Michael Eisner has been in charge of Disney for so many years. It is enough to prove his skill and ability. Facing the constantly splitting Disney board, he just used the common interests of Pixar to bring these people together again and further consolidated his power and prestige.


    Just like Ryan himself, use common interests to build a common front.


    Even if it is an idiot, it can come out. If Disney can really put Pixar under its banner, it will not only reduce the biggest competitor in animation, but also abandon the hand-drawn animation department that has become a tasteless hand-drawn animation department and re-establish its dominance in animation.


    What should I do? This is also a question Ryan is considering.


    Although he holds more than 50% of Pixar''s shares in his hand, he takes the initiative, but passive counterattack has never been his choice.


    Originally, his purpose was very clear. It was to fight for the right to speak in Disney, and then to exert momentum to oust Michael Eisner. Now, in the next few years, the entire Disney seems to be going crazy with the tyrant, and the power of capital is occupied. Absolute advantage.


    Ryan tightened the leather shawl wrapped around his shoulders, rubbing the Roman dagger in his hand, thinking about his plans through the memories of past and present lives.


    After a long time, he looked at the mountains and forests in the distance.Since he was going crazy, then everyone went crazy together. It is considered that this crazy plan has failed. It is a big deal to sell all the companies, and he can be a rich family at ease. Weng, if successful, then he can become the top group of people in Hollywood and even in North America...


    Of course, to do all this, you must first ensure the stability of your front. Ryan knows that the strongest castles often collapse from the inside.


    The interest group around him is completely centered on him and Nicole...


    "Ryan, what do you think?" Ridley Scott came over and patted his arm armor. "It''s about to start shooting."


    It has been more than a week since I joined the shooting. Most of the shots are literary dramas. Ryan is also slowly looking for feelings. Recently, he has taken a lot of shots. When the deputy director found a suitable place, Ridley Scott Te altogether brought the crew out and prepared to shoot the opening game with relatively low requirements for individuals.


    Due to the danger of burning woodland in this war, the crew was rejected by many regions. Last month, the deputy director contacted a forest near Farnham. This time, luck can be extremely good, because the British Forestry Commission It has been decided to cut down all the trees in the area, which is suitable for the crew to film.


    "We will help you burn all this forest!" This is what Ridley Scott said in the receipt.


    Although the filming time planned by the crew is only four days, the props team has done a lot of preparation for this. Dozens of ballistas and catapults are necessary, in addition to 20,000 burning arrows and 10,000 conventional ones. Arrow.


    As the photographers and cameras could not keep up with the horses rushing down the steep slopes and crossing the woods, the crew also laid temporary guide rails in the woods and battlefields to install the cameras on them to capture the spectacular scenes along the terrain.


    Ryan walked next to his old comrade-in-arms and gently patted the long horse face. Before Brigo arrived in Los Angeles, he switched to the UK to take part in the filming of an epic masterpiece again.


    "Briggo, we are going to fight together again." Ryan turned on his horse and moved away from the shooting site.


    Hundreds of extras and British soldiers gathered in the camp filled with wooden stakes. They were all dressed as standard Roman soldiers. They moved back and forth under the command of several officers. It was a bit of tension before the battle.


    There is no shot of Ryan now. He is riding Brigo slowly in the mountains and forests, not only to warm up the horse, but also to familiarize it with the terrain.Other stuntmen who serve as the cavalry team are doing the same. jobs.


    The whole morning was basically spent in this state. After lunch, the crew moved to the woods and prepared to take shots of the cavalry.


    "The thirty-second scene, the twenty-first act, now begins!"


    This was another pre-war mobilization, but compared to the one a few months ago, the atmosphere was lighter. After all, this was a speech given the absolute upper hand of the Roman Legion.


    Before playing the Malay Cavalry, Ryan stopped Brigo, "Brothers! Warriors!"


    "Maximos!" The cavalry raised their weapons in salute to their generals.


    "In three weeks, I will harvest crops in the fields, imagine where you want to go, your wish will soon come true!"


    Ryan paused for a while, and after Brigo¡¯s scream, he continued, ¡°Don¡¯t retreat, follow me! If you find yourself alone, don¡¯t worry when you are alone on the grassland facing the sun, it¡¯s because You are in heaven, and you are dead..."


    All the cavalry laughed.


    "Brothers!" Ryan looked extremely serious, "Our deeds will be immortal!"


    Ridley Scott suddenly yelled''cut'', and then yelled to this side, "Expression, pay attention to your expressions, you are fighters who are going to the battlefield, you are not joking, especially Ryan, be serious. , Focus on it!"


    Nodded, Ryan waved his hand to apologize, and when the deputy director asked, he made an ok gesture Not long after this time, the director called to stop again. The problem was not the actor, but The dog of Maximus probably blew through the woods in the distance, and made a few noises, which caused this big dog rented from the circus to bark constantly, which made the use of live recordings. The crew had to be interrupted.


    After finally waiting for the trainer to settle the dog actor, the horse has a problem again.


    Since the crew does not have many scenes for shooting horse battles, most of the horses are temporarily rented. Unlike the ``Lord of the Rings'''' crew, they have undergone a long period of training and have been standing here for a long time. Began to solve physiological problems.


    The unpleasant smell of horse dung and horse urine suddenly filled the woods.

 Chapter 424： War scene

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! Hundreds of war horses, at the same time staged such a good show, the smell in the woods is definitely not good. Many people couldn''t help covering their noses, and some stuntmen wanted to laugh, but after Ridley Scott''s dark old face, they could only forcibly endure it, and the atmosphere suddenly became very weird.


    Ridley Scott has worked hard in Hollywood for decades, and he also knows that animals are one of the most uncontrollable factors when shooting. Such an accident can only admit that he is unlucky.


    Filming stopped temporarily, and Ryan led Brigo into the woods not far away, waiting for the clerks to clean up the scene.


    When filming restarted, it was already a while later, but the filming was still not going well, accidents such as horses and dogs barking would appear from time to time, even the weather was correcting with the crew, and scattered pieces of snow fell in the sky.


    After an entire afternoon, this not-so-difficult scene finally met Ridley Scott''s request. Not only was the actors including Ryan cold and hungry, but even many horses were fighting. Soft legs.


    The crew can only be thankful that there is no animal protector organization stationed, otherwise it will be a huge trouble.


    Out of the woods, a large trailer formed a temporary station for the crew. Originally, it was not too far from Northampton, but it always took time to go back and forth, and there were props and equipment in the venue. Ryan believed that if no one was there If you keep it, tomorrow will definitely become empty.


    "A cup of hot coffee is a treat for this kind of weather." The person who said it was obviously Taylor.


    Ryan had just returned to his trailer and met the helpless George, who was helpless with two girls stealing coffee.


    "Alison, Emma, ??why are you here?" Ryan grabbed the cup in Taylor''s hand and drank a full cup before he felt warmer, and asked again. "Who brought you here?"


    "Emma''s mother." Tyler''s words were approved by the other girl, and Emma Watson nodded in agreement.


    "Sister Watson''s mother is the legal counsel of the crew." After George explained, he simply left the trailer.


    After simply cleaning up the messy trailer that was messed up by the two girls, Ryan replaced their coffee with hot juice, and then sat at the same table and slowly tasted the coffee that should have been made by George. .


    "Ryan, are you going to rest tomorrow weekend?" Tyler asked, blinking his bright sapphire blue eyes. "Shall we go to Scotland? I want to go to Edinburgh."


    "I''m sorry, my dear." Ryan drank the coffee in his cup and filled himself with another cup, and said, "The crew will shoot tomorrow."


    "Ryan, is this gladiator''s story adapted from real events?" The question was Emma Watson.


    "Oh, that''s it." Taylor pointed to a folder on the desk. "There is a complete script in there. The two of us were bored when we came over. Part of it."


    "You don''t mind, do you?" She asked again wingedly.


    "It''s okay, haven''t I been with you before, I can put it here. It''s nothing important." Ryan smiled at Tyler, and turned to another girl, "Why is this, Emma?"


    "I think a Roman emperor. It''s incredible to participate in a gladiatorial fight." The sister Emma Watson went on to explain, "In order to understand the wizarding culture, I studied European history. I had a history of the ancient Roman Empire. A little understanding, although not much."


    "Well, Emma." Ryan recalled it and explained in detail, "Commodes has historical prototypes, and Maximus in history was indeed killed by him. Of course it is not the script. If you want to understand this period of history, you can go to "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" written by Mr. Yoshimoto. There should be corresponding records in it."


    "That Kang..." Tyler scratched his head, waited for Emma Watson to prompt, and continued to ask, "Emperor Commodes, has he really been a gladiator?"


    "This should be true." Ryan nodded and filled the two girls with juice. "Commodes really likes fighting. He likes to wear armor and fight slaves. According to the weapon he uses is a big net and A three-bladed fork, historical records show that he participated in more than 700 gladiatorial battles in his not too long life. His other stunt is archery. The ones who died under the arrows were collected from various provinces of the Roman Empire. The beast."


    "If he represents Rome in the Olympic Games, he might be able to win two gold medals in free kick and archery for Rome." Emma Watson just sighed, welcoming Taylor''s rebuttal, "Is there a free kick in the Olympic Games? ?"


    "Who knows." Ryan waved his hand casually.


    "Then how did he die? Did he die in the arena?"


    "Commodes didn''t die in a gladiatorial fight." Ryan thought about his words. "After he was fed poison by a woman, he was strangled to death in the locker room by a professional wrestler."


    "The bad guy really didn''t end well!"


    In the world of children, people are good or bad, but there is a clear boundary between these two kinds of people. Ryan couldn''t help but smile and shook his head when listening to their childish talk.


    I also want to be a good person, but greed is an original sin, and maybe one day I will become the bad person in Taylor''s mouth.


    In any case, even if there are occasional snow falling in the sky in the next two days, the shooting continues. Ryan¡¯s personal shots are not many. Sometimes he talks to the emperor, occasionally accepts the respect of the soldiers, and even rides. With Brigo galloping in the fire, fortunately no accident happened.


    After filming his rivalry scene with Leonardo, who played Commodes, the crew only left the battle here.


    "Ryan, God will bless you."


    Standing in the camp belonging to the Roman army and looking at the battlefield, Leonardo said, "I heard you have killed a stuntman more than fifty times in the cast of the Lord of the Rings? How many will you kill this time? People? Let me guess..."


    "Leon, you should be thankful that you are not one of the Germans, otherwise..." Ryan made a gesture to his neck, jokingly, "I can break your neck with one hand."


    "Then your Ethan Hante will be replaced in the future."


    When Leonardo finished, Ryan patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the battlefield with the other actors.


    This battle was not as fierce as imagined. Ridley Scott intends to use short shots to quickly switch and use montages to show this war. This requires a lot of short shots, and Ryan is fighting. , Often stop at a moment, not as difficult and dangerous as imagined.


    Except for the shot of Maximus''s falling horse, which used a stuntman, as in "The Lord of the Rings," Ryan will personally complete the other difficult shots.


    Of course, in addition to highlighting his protagonist, the war also showed the collective strength, the strength of the Roman legion.


    But even the Roman Legion, known for its battlefields, inevitably turned into a street gang fight in the later stage of the shooting.


    This can be a common problem in all ancient epic movies, as well as all kinds of piercings that are always picked up by people.


    Although strict, neither he nor Leonardo resemble the Romans, but after they dyed their hair and put on makeup, they still looked a little bit like. Moreover, the film mainly faces audiences in North America and Western Europe. Not many people care about these.


    Moreover, it is always more reliable than a certain super epic in the previous life to create a bunch of ancient Greeks with blond hair and blue eyes.


    The filming of the film is sometimes difficult, but sometimes surprisingly smooth. The war was only filmed in two days and was declared complete. A total of four days of filming is expected to be completed in three days.


    "Rome will win! Rome will win!"


    Wearing dirty armor, Ryan was the first to raise the sword, and under his leadership, the remaining Legion soldiers shouted slogans in unison.


    After this shot, they can leave the cold and hungry battlefield and return to the warm hotel in Northampton.


    "Ryan."


    When he walked back to the trailer after removing his makeup, Ryan listened to the shouts behind him, turned his head and asked, "Is something wrong, Leon?"


    "That''s it, Ryan." Leonardo handed over an invitation. "London Fashion Week is coming soon. Giselle will come here for the show. Can I invite you to join us?"


    When Leonardo mentioned it, Ryan remembered that London Fashion Week was about to come, no wonder there were always some skinny women at the Hilton Hotel recently.


    "As long as it doesn''t conflict with the filming of the crew." Ryan turned to Ridley Scott, Leonardo knew immediately, "Ridley is definitely not a problem, I''ll get him."


    With Ridley Scott¡¯s character, it¡¯s not difficult to adjust the scene temporarily. Jennifer Lopez asked him to coordinate in order to participate in the Grammy ceremony.


    "Ryan, I met Leon just now."


    I haven''t returned to the trailer yetRyan was stopped again, this time it was Taylor, "I heard him you are going to the catwalk show in London Fashion Week, don''t forget there is me!"


    "Do you want to go too?" Ryan walked to his trailer without looking back.


    "Of course." The girl followed, taking it for granted, "I also want to pick some beautiful clothes to give to my mother and Nicole."


    "My dear, do you have that much money?" Ryan opened the trailer door and carried the girl in. "The pocket money you saved is only enough to buy a piece of clothing."


    "But you have money." Taylor is not polite at all. "You can pay in advance, and then I will sell the record in the future, and then return the money to you. Isn''t it OK? We can calculate the interest according to the bank''s interest rate. "


    Well, whoever grows up is still the same rascal! Ryan shook his head and sighed.


    However, Gisele Bunchen should be participating in the Victoria''s Secret catwalk, right? Is Taylor going to buy underwear for someone? To be continued. .

 Chapter 425： Show

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! After getting off the car, Ryan pulled Taylor and followed Leonardo into the Somerset Palace, The Victoria''s Secret lingerie show was selected in this ancient Gothic building. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    For the fashion industry, Ryan is very unfamiliar, and the few people he knows are either from the memories of previous lives or from the introduction of Nicoqian.


    And Leonardo DiCaprio is obviously a frequent visitor here, familiar with Ryan introduced the two current Victoria''s Secret heads-store president Lori? Grille and president Xie Lun? Jess Te Teni.


    Ryan had no plans to enter the fashion industry, and after a few polite greetings with them, he left with Taylor.


    "Is this the brand that went on show at the Super Bowl last year?" Taylor looked around curiously. "I heard Nicole mention it. It seems that there have been millions of dollars in high-priced underwear?"


    "My dear, you know so much." Ryan knows the girl''s gossip level.


    In the 1990s, Victoria¡¯s Secret was just a slightly larger-scale ordinary underwear brand, but the later actions quickly gained popularity. Ryan still remembers that when he was driven to the Australian farm by Nicole, he learned from the media. It was the first fashion show held by Victoria''s Secret, which was hyped as the''underwear event of the century''.


    In the following 96 and 97 years, they introduced sky-high price underwear worth 1 million US dollars and 3 million US dollars, especially the advertising campaign during the Super Bowl last year. The fashion show was broadcast live at the same time in Times Square, which attracted With 1.5 billion viewers, the ratings even surpassed the game itself.


    Regarding these, Ryan doesn''t care much, but Nicole always pays attention to fashion trends, and most things follow her.


    The entire strategic plan of Victoria''s Secret is undoubtedly quite successful. She did not position herself as a luxury, but as a mid-range brand, thus winning the widest range of consumer groups.


    Of course, there are the Victoria''s Secret Angels who have to. Their existence. Make this brand continue to attract people''s attention.


    "Ryan, do you want to go backstage? You will definitely be welcome."


    Listen to Leonardo on the other side. Ryan was a little moved, but after the girl holding his hand, she shook her head, "Forget it. Leon."


    Those female models are all changing clothes in an open environment, bringing a minor in, which is not good.


    When walking towards the front seats of the T-shaped stage, people kept saying hello to Ryan. Most of them didn''t know him, but they should all be well-known people in the fashion circle after listening to each other''s self-introduction.


    Straighten another person. Even if Ryan doesn''t know the fashion circle, he has heard of his weird dress.


    Wearing sunglasses under any circumstance, holding a fan in hand, and dragging braids behind his head, is the strange appearance of this sunglasses with white hair and long braids. But it is the eternal focus of the fashion industry, and even the influence has long surpassed the circle in which it is located.


    "Mr. Jenkins, I didn''t expect to see you here." The Caesar the Great in the fashion industry took the initiative to extend his hand to him. Ryan shook his hand slightly and said politely, "It''s nice to meet you, Mr. Lagerfeld. ."


    Karl Lagerfeld took a step back suddenly, and looked at him carefully. Seeing the strange appearance of the other party, Ryan frowned slightly. After all, any normal man was used by a **** man with such a vision.'' Appreciate'', will not feel comfortable.


    "Straight figure, handsome appearance, strong muscles..." Karl Lagerfeld exclaimed a few words before suddenly saying, "Ryan, are you interested in endorsing Chanel''s men''s products?"


    "I''m sorry." Ryan declined gently, seeing the other party still opening up, and directly pulled Leonardo over, "I think Mr. Ethan Hunter is more suitable than me."


    Endorsements and other things, but also to cooperate with the activities of the merchants, Ryan has passed the initial accumulation stage, where there will be interest and patience, after a few more words, Leonardo is left to Karl Lagerfeld, with Taylor found his seat.


    With Li''s habit of liking blonde and long-legged beauties, shouldn''t he become gay?


    Ryan shook his head. Leonardo is also a first-line star in Hollywood, and he will not pick up soap just to get ahead like some male models.


    Come back, it¡¯s hard to see if Karl Lagerfeld is really gay. There have been rumors in the entertainment circle that the other party played with too many female models in his early years, and then he changed to play with men...


    As for whether this method is reliable or not, only he knows it.


    "Poor Leon, you betrayed you like this." Taylor was still muttering while sitting in the chair, "Are Chanel''s men''s products famous?"


    As for luxury goods, girls don¡¯t have too many concepts. Most of her products are made-to-order.


    "Who knows, maybe." In this regard, Ryan is not much better than her. "My dear, you should ask Nicole about these things."


    When Ryan was talking with Taylor, a man and a woman walked over from behind, seated next to Ryan, and the person sitting in the front row must be a well-known person.


    The man wore a fitted suit, with a bald head and earrings, and the woman''s skin was a bit dark. Although the dress was very fashionable, the appearance of the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks really had nothing to do with beauty.


    This pair is the most famous in Britain, and the limelight can even suppress the entire Harry Potter crew.


    Although it is the first time I have seen them, Ryan has had countless reports in his previous life, the names of David Beckham and Victoria Adams, and I believe that most people who care about sports and entertainment have heard of it.


    It seems that the two got married last year, right? That should be Victoria Beckham.


    Almost at the same time that Ryan paid attention to them, the two also went to Ryan, and Victoria reached out to Ryan almost immediately.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins."


    "Hello..." Ryan nodded and shook lightly on the opponent''s stretched hand.


    Ryan is not surprised that she can actively associate with herself. In her previous life, the place Victoria wanted most was Hollywood.


    Even if she was a noble hot girl and one of the most successful girl group members in Europe, if she rushed into Hollywood, it would be difficult to directly enter the upper class of Hollywood without the introduction of a corresponding person.


    "I''m Victoria Beckham, and this is my husband David Beckham."


    After the other party introduced himself, Ryan shook hands with the famous football player and said, "I played your game, David...may I call you that? Thank you! The lob shot at Wimbledon It¡¯s so impressive."


    "I don''t think you like football too?" From these few words, it can be seen who is the leader between the two. Victoria smiled very brightly. "That is David''s famous work."


    "Yes, I am a fan of Manchester United." Ryan''s life is naturally a past life, where is there time to pay attention to football in this life, "Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs, Paul Skole Together with David, it is the best midfield combination I have ever seen. In the Champions League final last year, Manchester United did a great job and David''s corner kick played an important role."


    "That''s the effort of the whole team." Beckham is obviously not the Beckham of the future.


    "If you are interested, can you invite you to play at Old Trafford?" Victoria tentatively sent out the invitation, "I have a long-term box there."


    "If I have time, I will." Just after Ryan, the **** the other side muttered, "Is football good? How is it better than the Super Bowl?"


    Ryan shook his head and smiled. The Super Bowl is the first game in the United States, even the NBA Finals.


    As the music sounded, the show quickly became quiet. Victoria''s Secret signed models, wearing all kinds of **** underwear, walked onto the runway, and immediately attracted the attention of countless men and women.


    The stretch stage is a gathering place for beautiful blondes with long legs. White, the Victoria''s Secret catwalk attracts so much attention every time, and it has a close relationship with its **** high-quality models.


    Here, you can see the coldness of Nordic models, but also the wildness of Latin beauty, and the brand value of Victoria''s Secret. They are fully displayed. Their random action can often stir the nerves of many men in the audience.


    It was the first time that Ryan watched the underwear show up close. At this time, he understood why Leonardo was particularly good with the model with long blond legs.


    Men are naturally visual animals, and Victoria¡¯s Secret catwalks are more aimed at men than to show their products to female customers.


    When Gisele Bonchen, who appeared as the finale, stepped onto the runway, the atmosphere of the show was the most This long-legged model wore the underwear code-named fanatical dreamy that Victoria¡¯s Secret focused on this year. Inlaid with 1,300 diamonds with a total weight of 300 carats and Thai rubies...


    "Don''t you feel uncomfortable to wear so many diamonds on your body?" Taylor began to mutter again, "Ryan, I bet Leon''s girlfriend would not think this underwear is comfortable."


    Ryan doesn''t know whether it is comfortable or not, but there must be a rich man who is willing to spend a lot of money for his female partner.


    This luxurious underwear will not be sold for the time being. Victoria¡¯s Secret will have a beach show at the Cannes Film Festival. Ryan heard Leonardo¡¯s experience. They seem to be united with an AIDS organization. The catwalk will be a charity event. Come on, and fanatical fantasy is the most valuable charity sale among them.


    There was a reception after the catwalk. Ryan was not interested in attending. Today, I came here more to support Leonardo¡¯s girlfriend. When he left, Victoria Beckham came over and repeatedly invited him. Going to the field at Old Trafford.


    Ryan only made a verbal promise, and did not give a specific time.

 Chapter 426： Accidents before Oscar

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group


    Although Scott is ready to wait for Cisco to become the world''s largest company by market value, he is ready to buy short, but the funds invested are relatively limited. They have obtained huge profits from the stock market, and there is no need to take unnecessary risks.


    The preliminary work of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" has entered the final stage. Some adult actors have already entered the crew. According to Chris Columbus''s plan, the film will be officially announced after the Oscars ceremony.


    These are all staffed in charge, Ryan doesn¡¯t need to worry too much. His amateur energy is mainly concentrated on the Pixar studio.


    Despite the crazy plan, how to implement it will be a big problem. Since being successfully hacked by Disney, he has kept in touch with Ed Kamel through encrypted satellite phones in order to deal with Walter in the near future. Disney this behemoth.


    Relatively united Pixar will make Disney feel tricky, and Pixar, with sharp management conflicts, will definitely make Disney''s board of directors spirited up.


    With the passage of time, Ryan and other major actors gradually found their respective states, but the shooting was still not smooth. When shooting fighting scenes, people would get injured from time to time, and the extremely bad weather in the UK, frequently The rain caused the crew to suspend filming frequently.


    In order to protect the huge arena, the crew had to pay high maintenance costs.


    This state has continued. Ridley Scott has always had his old face tense since the scenes in the opening game. The number of tantrums is countless.


    In particular, Jennifer Lopez, who returned from the Grammy Awards, became the main target of the old man''s reprimand. This actress, who he personally finalized, was indeed a little immature in acting.


    Although at this year¡¯s Grammy Awards, Jennifer Lopez grabbed the limelight with a Versace deep V vacuum green gauze evening gown, and was even dubbed the best-dressed Grammy ever by the media, But for movies. She is just a newcomer.


    Jennifer Lopez''s performance can only be described as barely qualified. The filming of the crew has not gone smoothly. What makes Ryan even more depressed is that his Oscar vote has not yet been received.


    Did the college mail the ballot to Jenkins Manor? Ryan could only think so, and after calling Nicole who was on vacation in Los Angeles, he got some jaw-dropping news about Oscar.


    The films shortlisted for Oscars this year, in general. There is a lack of heavyweight works. Although films including "The Pianist" and "The Law of Cider House" have received enough praise from the critics, they cannot cover up their weakness at the box office, and there is no certain box office number to indicate that the film is lacking. Sufficient audience base, a large number of films without audience base participate in the Oscar competition. It will definitely affect the ratings of the awards ceremony.


    Among the five shortlisted films, "American Beauty" performed slightly better at the box office.


    Ryan, who was synonymous with the box office in the past, and the movie "The Pianist" released this year, is still working hard at the North American box office for 40 million US dollars.


    Even the mainstream media in North America believes that this Oscar is destined to become the dullest in recent years. Some tabloids even began to look forward to Roman Polanski''s ability to resist the award ceremony and sacrifice himself. Save Oscar ratings.


    Just after entering this month, news about Oscars suddenly increased. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences held a press conference, claiming that about 4,000 ballots mailed to members of the academy had been lost, and packages containing these ballot mails were mislabeled as The third level mail.


    Although the U.S. Postal Service Regional Distribution Center quickly found about 1,000 of these ballots, in order to allow the affected members to vote, the college re-sent the ballots in yellow envelopes and delayed the voting deadline until the Oscars ceremony. The first three days.


    However, this is only the beginning of a series of news about Oscars this year. The news that broke out afterwards even made Ryan, who was filming in the UK, overwhelmed.


    The Wall Street Journal, a subsidiary of News Corporation, carried forward the style of The Sun, secretly soliciting voting information from the judges, trying to announce the results of the selection in advance, and angered Robert Lime, the chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.


    For this reason, the Academy issued an open letter accusing the ¡°Wall Street Journal¡± of trying to conduct individual interviews with the judges to know the results in advance, which is an infringement of the privacy rights of the Film Academy. This year¡¯s Oscar Awards will decline their interviews in any form.


    But all this is not over. Maybe God is joking with Oscar, or maybe the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is joking with itself. In mid-March, the Oscar statuette was stolen.


    On March 10th, 55 Oscar statuettes were stolen from a loading dock of a land express company. These statuettes suddenly disappeared as if they had grown wings, whether it was the college, the express company, or the Los Angeles County Police. No clue was found in the game, just like a thief in a Hollywood movie, he came to the real world and committed this big case that made people laugh or cry.


    The statuette, who represents Hollywood''s highest honor, could not be retrieved for a long time, so the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had to commission the manufacturer R.S. Owens to reproduce a new batch of trophies to avoid the embarrassment of no prizes to be issued.


    It was not until 9 days later that a man named Willie Fulgil found 52 of them in the trash can of a supermarket near Los Angeles Koreatown, and the other three were still there when Ryan returned to North America. unknown.


    to this end. The college held a special press conference, announcing that Fulgil was given $50,000 as a reward, and he also gave his son Allen two tickets to the party. The limelight of this little man instantly overwhelmed all the big stars nominated for Oscars. , Has become the darling of the media scrambling to report.


    The two employees of the freight company, the truck driver Lawrence Leident and the dock worker Anthony Hart, were arrested on charges of stealing the little golden man. Both of them strangely admitted their crimes and chose not to defend themselves.


    This incident immediately aroused the suspicion of many people. What is wrong with them? Why do they steal the little golden man who is actually not of high value?


    The Oscar statuette is a dream of the Hollywood industry and a symbol of honor, but to outsiders, it is not very valuable, and it is also extremely difficult to sell the stolen goods. The two old employees of the express company, if not Dazed, is a real fool.


    In any case, the Oscars ceremony is about to be held. The public opinion before is not enthusiastic. The reporters from all walks of life are worried that there is nothing to stir. Who would have expected that so many selling points suddenly appeared in a short period of time, and finally let the reporters play There has been a lot of leeway in American newspapers.


    Some reporters suspected that the news was a trick by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in order to attract people''s attention to the Oscars. Although the Academy strongly denied it, this year''s Oscars suddenly rose up and sparked an upsurge of discussion across the United States.


    The award ceremony was about to be held and Ryan also returned to Los Angeles from the UK. Apart from going to the Pixar studio and discussing with a few key managers, he hid in his manor for the remaining days.


    Although the frequent accidents of this year''s Oscars have attracted the attention of most of the media, entertainment reporters will not let go of the popular candidates for the award, and the nomination of the best actor and actress is still their goal.


    In many authoritative media¡¯s predictions, Ryan¡¯s demand for the best actor is so high that he can even keep pace with Kevin Spacey. Film critics have also written articles in their own columns, thinking that the role of Spearman is absolutely It deserves an Oscar. If the college still stubbornly awards awards to others, then their discrimination against young people is too obvious.


    Many media believe that Ryan has been nominated for the best actor for the fourth time in a row. Even if it is to attract the attention of the audience and increase the ratings, the college should give him an explanation.


    "Compared to the reform of the youth of the college, I appreciate the previous series of methods more."


    Sitting in the locker room, Ryan allowed Nicole and Jennifer Meyer to help himself with styling, "This is an accident, or a coincidence, maybe only God knows, but I have to say that the academy''s methods are getting better ."


    "Why can I always feel that there is a shamelessness called Ryan Jenkins revealed in this incident?" Ni could tighten the black bow tie in her hand, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com waited for Ryan to roll his eyes together, and then continued, "My dear, don''t use your eyes to measure all the people in this world."


    "Okay, maybe I think too much." Ryan quickly changed the subject, and it was the awards ceremony soon. He didn''t want to argue, "Nicole, where are the dresses you prepared? Do you want to wear Trinity''s leather jacket? "


    "I''m not that boring yet." Nicole waved to Jennifer Meyer and walked into the interior of the studio''s dressing room. "Jenny is already ready for me."


    Jennifer Meyer shrugged to Ryan in cooperation, and after turning around him, said, "Last year your look was so bad. Now it''s good. Our handsome Ryan is back."


    She also walked into the inner room, "I''ll help Nicole, you can wait a while."


    Ryan understood that it would take at least half an afternoon to wait a while, and the Oscar red carpet is the best place for women to contend for beauty.

 Chapter 427： Hi Charlie

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group


    In any case, this year''s Oscars ceremony is enough to attract eyeballs.


    Ryan sat quietly in the RV, and not far in front was the Shrine Grand Theater, where the ceremony was held. The front of the theater had turned into a red ocean.


    In addition to Mr. Oscar, which is indispensable for each session, this time the organizer erected a large red curtain on the road in front of the theater, completely shielding the entire street, matched with the white shrine grand theater. Created a red and white world.


    Nicole next to him was playing with his fingers boringly. The Australian girl wore a pale gold high-necked halter evening dress. The red and gold curly hair was neatly tied behind her head, highlighting her smooth forehead and fair complexion. Her face, coupled with the diamond-encrusted headband and earrings of the same color, set off the beauty of the whole person.


    Maybe tomorrow''s media will recognize her as the best dress tonight.


    This is Ryan''s true thoughts. The current Australian girl is a veritable queen of the red carpet and can be called a fashion vane.


    "What are you thinking about, don''t I accompany you on the red carpet, are you unhappy?" Nicole leaned to his ear, with some dissatisfaction in his words, "I heard Taylor say, you went to watch the Victoria''s Secret catwalk? Their angels are very beautiful, aren¡¯t they? Is there anything you admire?"


    "Hey, my dear. I''m just cheering for Leon''s girlfriend." Ryan said that Tyler was a veritable big mouth.


    "If not, do you think I would only bite your shoulder last night?"


    Listen to Nicole''s words. Ryan remembered the two rows of fine tooth marks left on his shoulders after making her last night, and couldn''t help asking, "Where do you...what else do you want to bite?"


    "What do you say?"


    Light blue eyes drifted between his legs, and a cold sweat suddenly appeared behind Ryan, "When I didn''t say hello."


    The RV parked in front of the red carpet, and Ryan pulled the car door and beckoned to reporters around him. Then he helped Nicole out and took her to the red carpet in strides.


    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s an intentional arrangement by the organizer or a coincidence. It¡¯s precisely because of the angel trio-Drew Barrymore and Cameron Dia-who rose up in front of the two of them after "Charles in the Thunder". Here is Paris Hilton.


    Drew and Cameron Diaz are okay, after all, they are actresses who have been famous for many years, and Paris Hilton is obviously a little excited. I seem to enjoy the feeling of being a movie star.


    After routinely signing the fans, Ryan and Nicole reunited on the red carpet. The two undoubtedly became the focus of media attention. In recent years, they have been on the red carpet together very rarely. In the eyes. It seems that the contacts are not as close as before, and some tabloids are even hyping up, because Nicole Kidman¡¯s homosexual relationship has broken the relationship with his brother...


    Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that tabloids are sensationalizing. Not many people take this kind of hype seriously, even Ryan doesn''t bother to care about it. Speaking of it, this is actually a cover.


    The three women in front obviously heard the noise from the rear, and couldn''t help but turn back to say hello. Paris Hilton, who was obviously a little dizzy with excitement, even blew a kiss to Ryan, attracting fans and reporters around. Excited.


    There will be no shortage of hype topics tomorrow!


    Facing the look in Nicole''s eyes, Ryan could only make a helpless gesture. He couldn''t run over to stop others from showing good to him, right?


    When Ryan and Nicole walked through the interview area, the three of Drew were still talking to reporters. The time for "Girls of the Thunderbolt" is far from being off the shelf in North America. Now is a good time for hype.


    "Before the result comes out, everything is possible." Ryan was naturally stopped by the reporter. "Last year you said I was the hottest. What about the result? So, after the awards ceremony, everything will be announced."


    The reporter will definitely not be satisfied with this kind of painless words, and immediately shifted the target to Nicole, "Miss Kidman, you are so beautiful tonight!"


    "Thank you!" Nicole nodded politely.


    "Ryan has been nominated for the best actor for four consecutive years. Do you think the Academy should give him the figurine?"


    Hearing what the reporter said, Nicole frowned, and then said, "Whether Ryan won or not, in my heart, he is one of the best actors."


    After speaking, he took Ryan''s arms again and walked towards the entrance of the Grand Theater of the Temple.


    "They are really boring. What good is it to instigate our relationship with the academy?" Nicole glanced at the broadcaster''s eye-catching sign and said in a low voice.


    "It''s only attractive if you have a topic." Ryan patted her hand indifferently, "Okay, dear, leave those people alone."


    "Hi, Ryan, wait a minute!"


    There was a clear voice from behind, Ryan didn''t need to look back, knowing that it was the pink fairy, and said to Nicole, "Troublesome spirit came to the door."


    "You didn''t ask for it." Nicole glared at him faintly. If Ryan hadn''t acquiesced in helping Richard? Hilton take care of his daughter, where would the trouble be?


    "Is there a problem?"


    Ryan greeted the people around him and led them to a quiet place. Nicole chatted with Cameron Diaz who was a model. Obviously, there are many common topics in fashion.


    "It''s like this." Paris Hilton didn''t have any embarrassment. "The movie has been a big hit. When will we start shooting a sequel?"


    "Drew, what''s your opinion?" Ryan looked directly at the head of Flower Pictures.


    "With the current box office development situation, relying on the North American box office and inserting advertisements is enough to recover costs. Even if we do not count the future DVD and other businesses, we can achieve more than tens of millions of dollars in profit at the box office alone. There is no reason not to make a sequel."


    The success of this movie. It gave Drew great confidence, and Ryan knew this very well. Originally, Flower Pictures expected the film to exceed 30 million U.S. dollars in the first week. Even if it was a very good result, the film¡¯s first week box office almost exceeded 45 million U.S. dollars, and it was released in North America today. Zhou, has received more than 140 million U.S. dollars, won the North American weekly box office ranking champion for four consecutive weeks.


    "Well, Drew, there are a few points to pay attention to." The situation and time are wrong now. Ryan can only say as short as possible, and discuss the details later, "Try to reduce the cost of the film and call your screenwriter to write a better story. At the very least, the logic must be clear. Don''t just rely on the three of you to fight against each other to attract the audience. Yes. Let Tiger Chen design more aggressive and novel moves, otherwise, if it causes aesthetic fatigue, the movie may not be able to meet our expectations."


    When talking about business, Drew Barrymore is a qualified businessman. She nodded seriously, "I understand."


    "I will email you specific things."


    Kung Fu is now very popular in North America. But Ryan knew that it would take a few years for this situation to take a turn for the worse. "Charlie Girl 2" can be regarded as a turning point, and the later "Rush Hour 3" almost made the new line vomit blood...


    Aesthetic fatigue is unavoidable, and Kung Fu''s conquest of Hollywood is just a dream.


    Ryan suddenly remembered. The production of a sequel should be stepped up, preferably in the next year or the next year. The later, the greater the risk of failure.


    "Ryan, I have good news for you." Paris Hilton waited patiently until he had finished talking with Drew before speaking, "I will be on the Oscar stage tonight!"


    "Congratulations, then." Ryan''s appearance still brought obvious changes to the life path of this goblin.


    "It''s a pity that it''s just a guest presenting the fashion design award..."


    Before Paris was finished, he was interrupted by Cameron Diaz, "For this awards guest, Drew and I are about to break our legs, and some of Ryan¡¯s relationship was used in the middle, dear , You will be content!"


    The three girls laughed and went to the other side. With the help of the big sales of "Charlie Girl", they are now the most beautiful moment.


    "My dear, someone is looking at you all the time." Nicole''s words were vaguely hostile. Ryan followed her gaze and looked at it. Charlize Theron, who was diagonally opposite, would look at you from time to time.


    When she looked over again, she happened to hit Ryan''s eyes, and immediately burst into an extremely bright smile.


    "It''s a beautiful South African diamond." Nicole''s eyes were narrow and long, and she mentioned the title that the media had been hot about some time ago. "I heard Nami say that the South African diamond was mentioned by you on the cast of the Lord of the Rings. ?"


    Ryan just smiled and didn''t say anything.


    "She is really pretty, isn''t she, Ryan?"


    In Nicole''s words, there is no special meaning, but in the eyes of beautiful women, there is always no room for another equally beautiful woman.


    In addition to last year¡¯s best actress nomination, Charlize Theron has always been a very competent vase. In the eyes of the media, blonde and blue eyes and exquisite features are completely worthy of the name of South African diamonds, and tonight she is again Unusually glamorous and sexy.


    The orange Armani dress is designed with suspenders and naked back to highlight her slender figure. With fine curly hair, the South African diamond has a charming charm to the bones.


    "I''ll go over and say hello."


    Although determined to resolve it as soon as possible in the next few years, Ryan never wants to face this situation.


    However, on the bright side, he and Charlize Theron are still very good friends. If you don''t come forward to say hello, I''m afraid it is more likely to arouse suspicion.


    Nicole''s careful thinking, although he can''t guess it, he knows a little bit.


    "Hi, Charlie."


    As soon as Ryan finished greeting, he greeted a low-pitched complaint, "You have called me several times when you came back from London. I have been waiting for you in Long Beach for a long time, and you have never taken the initiative to find you. ..."


    As in the past, Charlize''s complaint was immediately received, "Forget it, I know you are busy, but can you always spare some time to accompany me?"

 Chapter 428： Not necessarily bad

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion! Facing Charlize Theron¡¯s twinkling eyes, Ryan doesn¡¯t know what to say, South Africa Diamond It is completely different from Nicole and Natalie. She has no scruples and ideological pressure. Although she understands that Ryan does not want to be public for the time being, she will not stand up and say anything, but she will also not avoid anything.


    Only he knew that the bones of South African American diamonds were all wild from Africa.


    Behind Nicole, even though he was talking to Steven Spielberg who had come over, Ryan could keenly feel that the focus of the pair of pale blue eyes was always on himself.


    "My dear, why are you not talking?" Charlize Theron tilted her head, just flashing past Ryan''s cover, her eyes collided with the gaze from Nicole not far away, and she showed A friendly smile, but slightly frowned brows greeted her.


    "Let''s do it, Charlie." Ryan moved his body calmly, isolating the sight of the two women from communicating, "My yacht is coming soon, and we will go out together in a few days."


    "Then it''s settled." Charlize Theron suddenly moved closer, almost all of the breath that fell on Ryan''s face, "If you put my pigeons, I will take my luggage and move to Jenkins Manor. ..."


    Hearing what she said, Ryan almost vomited blood. If this is the case, the world is in chaos. He quickly checked his watch and deliberately reminded, "It''s almost time, you should go in."


    "Okay..." Charlize is a smart woman who knows enough to stop and waved her hand at will. "Then I''ll go now, dear, go back and find your female companion."


    Before entering the hall, she looked back again, and Nicole Kidman''s eyes fell on her from time to time.


    Shaking his head, Charlize greeted the person next to him and walked into the hall. It suddenly occurred to her that she had overlooked one thing. Ryan seemed to have never introduced his friends to herself, and she almost drifted out of his social circle.


    Keanu Reeves can barely count as one of their mutual friends, and Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman, among others, she knows at best...


    Ryan took Nicole and quickly found a seat for the two. With them as the boundary, one side is the "Pianist" crew, and the other side is the "The Matrix" crew, but relative to the "The Matrix." "The Pianist" has significantly fewer people here, and there is also a lack of heavyweight directors.


    Roman Polanski will never go to North America to throw himself into the net unless his head is flooded.


    "Did Mr. Polanski call you?"


    After greeting the people around, Nicole lowered her voice and said, "If he wins, who will be on stage to accept the award for him?"


    "Presumably he has already made arrangements." Ryan replied casually.


    Because of the issue of the movie release, Jenkins Pictures and Roman Polanski were not very happy, and Ryan did not let anyone publicize him, let alone the issue of receiving the award on stage. Whether the other party can get the best director is still a question.


    Of course, there are a large number of Jewish descent among the core judges of the Oscars, and Roman Polanski has a natural advantage in this regard.


    The theme song began to play gradually. Turning from low to high, Ryan clapped his palms along with the others, and the 72nd Oscars ceremony officially kicked off.


    After entering the nineties, the hosts of the Oscars were almost fixed on Billy Christo and Ubi Gordon. In the last awards ceremony, Ubi Gordon Fort¡¯s super fashion show drew a lot of ratings, but it was met with unanimous criticism from the media. This year Billy Christo returns again.


    When the big screen on the stage slowly rose, Billy Christo''s appearance ceremony did surprise everyone.


    He was hugged onto the stage by a Los Angeles policeman!


    Next, he mentioned Willie Fulgil, thanking the other party for retrieving 50 Oscar statuettes in a ridiculous way. The college seems to be using this method, thanks to the Los Angeles police and Willie Fulgil for the case of the loss of the statuette In the great help given.


    Everyone also extended warm applause. In any case, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the most authoritative organization in this industry. It is not so much that many Hollywood celebrities are thanking Willie Fulgil. Tribute to authority.


    Although many people are speculating that this incident is most likely the self-hype of the college, no one can produce evidence. Even if someone is qualified to know something, they will not be foolish to make a big mouth because of offense. It will be a huge number of more than 4,000 members of the college.


    Next, it is naturally Billy Christo¡¯s repertoire, which uses songs to sing together to tease the nominated films and actors. This year¡¯s focus is on the female man Hilary Swank.


    "This is a great performance. Hillary showed us how a strong boy became a beautiful woman on Oscar night. Maybe Oscar should set up a new award for her..."


    Nicole leaned into Ryan''s ear and said in a low voice while applauding, "Billy is getting older and those vulgar jokes are obviously less."


    Ryan nodded in agreement, "It''s true."


    He still clearly remembers that when he first attended the Oscars in the early nineties, Billy Christo''s jokes always went straight to the next three roads after a few sentences.


    The first award is here. The three award-presenting guests are Charlie¡¯s three angels. Although they can¡¯t put on the coolest look in the movie in their evening dresses, the three girls who like to play are still playing. A few times, and the movements specially designed by Tiger Chen drew cheers from below.


    Strictly speaking, none of Charlie''s three angels is beautiful. They are full of youthful vitality, but they cover up their shortcomings and steal the limelight from the winners below.


    And "Song Song Changxi", which won the best costume design, is really not well-known.


    When the next guest stepped onto the stage, Ryan suddenly felt a little emotional. Nicole beside him clearly felt this and asked in a low voice, "What happened, dear?"


    "Seeing him, I think of myself in 1991." Ryan looked at the child star who was introducing the montage on the stage.


    "It''s really a bit like you when you were a kid." Nicole looked at the little boy with short light brown hair with emotion.


    The person standing on the stage is called Hayley Joe Osment. Although "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" was made out by Ryan early, the other party still starred in "Forrest Gump" in 1994, and it has been updated this year. It was with a psychological horror film called "I Can See Ghosts" that got a nomination for best supporting actor.


    Things are always so interesting, and Ryan can only think so. At this age, the other party has shown unparalleled acting talent, but when he grows up, he has become a typical Hollywood child star tragedy.


    The awards were awarded one after another. In terms of technology awards, "The Matrix" occupies an absolute advantage, winning four technical awards such as the best visual effects one after another, and Angelina? "Getting the best supporting actress made veteran actress Jon Voight even shed tears of excitement.


    His wild and rebellious daughter seemed to have finally returned to the right path.


    But Angelina Jolie¡¯s next acceptance speech almost made her old father vomit blood. Her acceptance speech was very **, which involved her brother. If understood literally, it would be very impressive. Doubt whether there is an improper relationship between the brother and sister.


    The most exciting scene in the awarding process of this column is undoubtedly that Tracee, Cowdy Cowboy and Buzz Lightyear appeared on the stage together and presented the Best Animated Short Film Award as the award-giving guests.


    The only pity for Ryan is that there is no award for best animated feature film yet, otherwise it would be "Toy Story 2".


    However, his public relations team is lobbying the college, and this award is likely to be added next year or the year after.


    The first one to appear tonight is undoubtedly Jack Nicholson presenting the Irving G. Tolberg Memorial Award to Warren Beatty, that is, the Lifetime Achievement Award. It seems that Oscars are using this way to announce , The achievements and recognition that an actor or director can achieve has nothing to do with his own moral character and love affairs.


    "My dear, the award for you is here."


    When Kevin Spacey walked onto the stage with the envelope, Nicole reminded softly, "This should be the most promising award for "The Pianist", right?"


    "Why don''t you come to the stage to accept the award for me?" Ryan joked casually.


    Indeed, in his opinion, the best adapted screenplay, the little golden man, is none other than "The Pianist". Just look at the nomination list read by Kevin Spacey to know where Ryan''s confidence comes from.


    "The Election" Jim Taylor and Alexander Payne, "The Law of Cider House" John Ivan, "The Green Miracle" Frank Darabont, "The Genius Preley" Anthony Minghella, "The Pianist" "Ryan Jenkins."


    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a coincidence or intention. On the big screen, the portrait of the winner, Ryan is at the center...


    "The winner of the award for best adapted screenplay is... "The Law of Cider House" John Irvine!"


    However, was awarded by someone else. Although Ryan was a little surprised, he clapped his palms for the first time. After all, this kind of thing is too normal.


    Besides, he has already won this award, and it is estimated that the academy does not want him to appear on the stage of this award all the time.


    "My dear, don''t be disappointed..." Nicole''s reminder arrived, "It may not be a bad thing to lose this prize."


    Ryan naturally understands what Nicole means. In essence, Oscar is still dividing the cake. The only difference is to see who can get the biggest and most delicious piece.


    Generally speaking, "The Pianist" has a clear advantage in this award, but the academy gave this award to others, probably to balance it. In the following heavyweight awards, if you can''t say it will Find it back.


    Isn''t it... Are they really going to give themselves the best actor figurine?

 Chapter 429： Thank you

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! Generally, unless the movie "Titanic" or "Schindler''s List" produces huge Influence, otherwise the academy will not give too many awards at the Oscars. The fairness and justice of the Oscars will always be relative, and the academy¡¯s means of balancing are no worse than those of politicians.


    Ryan believes that with the style of the college, "The Pianist" should be rewarded in the remaining three awards.


    The best director and best picture face the strong competition of "American Beauty", and the odds of winning should not be great. In terms of best actor, his age is indeed irreparable weakness, but he has been nominated for four consecutive years. Qualifications, as well as the interpretation of the role of Spearman, if you get the best actor statuette, no one else can say much.


    All this is still unknown, what Ryan has done can only be waited.


    Unsurprisingly, the next best original screenplay was given to the screenwriter of "American Beauty" Alan Bauer, and this is only the second award that "American Beauty" has won. This movie does not seem to be effective yet. time.


    "My dear, guess who the best actress will be?"


    Private betting guesses have always been the best way for Ryan and Nicole to pass the time at the awards ceremony. Nicole¡¯s questioning was exchanged for Ryan¡¯s very simple answer, "It must be Hilary Swank. Her reverse performance is too strong."


    "Oh, so if I want to take the best actress again, it would be a good choice to reverse a male character." Nicole winked his eyes on purpose, and Ryan scanned her beautiful face. Angrily said, "There will be a beautiful man like you in the world? My dear. It''s hard to get a actor or queen for non-realistic characters."


    Nicole subconsciously touched her face, and smiled happily.


    And there are results on the stage-"The best actress is...Hilary Swank''s "Boys Don''t Cry"!"


    This standard female man finally sat on the throne of the shadow queen. Ryan vaguely remembered that even if she later won a best actress, Hilary Swank¡¯s career as an actress has not changed drastically, she can It is one of the Oscar queens with the lowest commercial value.


    Honor cannot be converted into actual income. Sometimes it is also a kind of helplessness.


    After Billy Christo talked for a while, Gwyneth Paltrow, the last film actress, walked up to the microphone. Strictly speaking, she is not very beautiful, but she is quite knowledgeable about dressing. , Can be regarded as one of the most popular female stars on the red carpet of previous Oscars.


    "Let your friends award the Little Golden Man to you. It''s also a good choice."


    Seeing Gwyneth Paltrow performing a one-man show on the stage, Nicole joked, "Can you tell me how you feel about winning now, dear?"


    "Do you think I will win the prize?" Both of them were sitting solemnly, and no one could see that they were whispering.


    "If I have the right to decide, you will definitely win a prize..."


    Not waiting for Nicole to finish. Ryan reminded, "The camera turned around, it''s quiet..."


    Gwyneth Paltrow''s business mind may be much worse than Spielberg''s other goddess, but she knows how to create a good public image. A few jokes are close to the point, and will not be reminiscent of Xia San Lu.


    "The competition for this year''s best actor is extremely fierce. I think everyone will feel that way. The nomination list illustrates this point very well. Let''s take a look at the list of super big names who have been nominated for best actor. "She always controls the rhythm of words," Denzel Washington "Hurricane", Russell Crowe "The Insider", Ryan Jenkins "The Pianist", Kevin Spacey "American Beauty", Sean? Pan "Sweet and Humble."


    "Frankly speaking, each of them performed very well in the movie. If I can make a decision, I will definitely send everyone a figurine of the best actor..."


    There was an inevitable booing sound from below, and Gwyneth Paltrow opened the envelope in her hand.


    Will it be me? Ryan is not easy to say now. Originally, he didn''t go to public relations with all his strength. He thought it might not be a big win, but the Best Adapted Screenplay Award went to his home, which gave him a little hope in his heart.


    If you can get it, then next year you will do your best in public relations, and maybe you can taste like Tom Hanks as the actor.


    However, the imagination is beautiful, the reality is helpless, and the academy controlled by a group of old people is always conservative.


    "Kevin Spacey, "American Beauty"!" This is the answer read by Gwyneth Paltrow, "Congratulations Kevin, he won the best actor of this year''s Oscar."


    Keeping an elegant smile, Ryan stood up and applauded like everyone else, congratulating the actor of this year, Kevin Spacey¡¯s performance in "American Beauty" is indeed excellent, fully worthy of the best of tonight. Actor.


    "Don''t be disappointed, Ryan, we can continue next year." Nicole was the first to send comfort.


    "Don''t care too much, Ryan, this award will belong to you sooner or later." Harvey Weinstein also came over.


    As for the other people around, they also sent relief words one after another, Ryan could only say that he was okay.


    After being nominated four times in a row and then failing, Ryan is also accustomed to this feeling. Although disappointment is certainly not less, there is not much regret and other emotions.


    Like Nicole said, he can continue next year.


    At that time, the pressure on the college will be even greater, what choice will they make?


    The awards on the stage are still going on. The Shrine Grand Theater also raised interest from guests to the audience. They wanted to know if the Academy would award the best director to the director in exile in France, and if the answer is yes, then who Will he be on stage to accept the award?


    "If Roman Polanski drops to the theater at this time, I believe the ratings of this awards ceremony will hit a record high."


    Ryan is the one who can say such silly things in such a tense moment, "Nicole, do you think that in the audience behind, will the federal agents of the Department of Justice ambush?"


    "My dear, you watched too many special agent movies." Nicole gave him a concealed look.


    Steven Spielberg has opened the envelope, and the old man has no extra words, and read the final result directly, "The best director is Sam Mendes "American Beauty"!"


    The camp belonging to DreamWorks immediately uttered a enthusiastic cheer. The best director is in hand, which means that they are infinitely close to the best picture. If they can win two consecutive Oscars, they will win the two heavyweight awards of best director and best picture. Embrace, that undoubtedly has extremely important significance for the ambitious DreamWorks.


    DreamWorks is now very strong, not to mention Jenkins Pictures, and almost suppressed the other major film companies.


    Raising his head, Ryan looked at the ceiling. It seemed that "The Pianist" was going home empty-handed. Could this pre-born movie end in such a bleak way?


    The box office has nothing to do. If you lose at the Oscars, maybe the final global box office may not be able to recover the cost.


    As a qualified producer and investor, Ryan never liked the loss of money.


    This year¡¯s Oscar awards ceremony is drawing to a close, and only one award for the best picture remains. Clint Eastwood, an old cowboy, has become the guest of honor for the best picture.


    The old cowboy style is concise, and he quickly read the list of nominations, "The Law of Cider House" Richard Gladstein, "American Beauty" Bruce Cohen, "The Green Miracle" Frank Darabont, "The Pianist" Ryan Jenkins, "The Insider" Michael Mann."


    Looking up at the audience in front of him, Clint Eastwood quickly opened the envelope and only glanced at it, "The Pianist, Ryan Jenkins!"


    The moment the sound on the stage sounded, the people from the "Pianist" crew stood up, raised their arms and shouted, celebrating the victory of their crew. Everyone, including Ryan, thought they would come home empty-handed tonight. I thought that there was such a turning point in the end.


    After celebrating with people around him or hugging or high-five, Ryan strode towards the stage. When passing by the crew of "American Beauty", Steven Spielberg and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who were sitting nearby, were also sent on. Hug.


    The college actually left this piece of cake to itself! Ryan could only sigh with emotion, but had to admire the cleverness of those old men.


    Having been nominated for four consecutive terms, but eventually returned empty-handed, the academy will definitely face overwhelming criticism, especially its fans, who might be impulsive.


    Although this award is awarded to a film company, Ryan is both an investor, a lead actor, and a playwright. An award for the best film can avoid the birth of a best actor who is only twenty years old, and can also be used This very heavy award quell those criticisms...


    The cake is divided to the point of being so clever, it is hard for people not to admire it.


    After receiving the little golden man from the old cowboy, Ryan thanked him and stood in front of the microphone, and the next acceptance speech can only be described by routine.


    "First of all, I would like to thank the Academy. Thank you for presenting this award to Jenkins Pictures. Thanks to the director of Polanski. Without him, there would be no "The Pianist" movie! Thanks to everyone in the crew, you are in the ice and snow of Warsaw, The best effort has been made! Thank you to the National Jewish Association and the Warsaw City Government for their full support of this film. The success of the film has your share!"


    "In addition, I would also like to thank Mr. Varadisro Spearman. Without his "Dead City", there would be no such movie. Thank you for his recognition of the movie!"


    "Finally, please never forget the tragedy that happened in Poland decades ago. Any form of war is not a wise choice!"


    "Thank you!"

 Chapter 430： Oscar night

    "It''s an unexpected surprise to get the best picture." Ryan looked at Spielberg opposite, and raised his glass to the old man. "For personal honor, I believe the academy will not let me wait until my hair is gray. That day."


    "I believe it too." Spielberg touched his glasses and said apologetically. "For the time being, Ryan, they are still waiting for me."


    Ryan nodded. After all, this is the Oscar night party held by Vanity Fair. It is not only a place for celebration, but also a place for communication.


    As a must-have show for the Oscars, this Ryan proposed that Tina Brown had facilitated the celebration dinner that almost all the Oscar nominees would attend. Both winners and losers would appear on stage and show their faces. Said it was a reward for my hard work in the past year, and in essence, I took this party to find the next good opportunity to "win both fame and fortune".


    Here, you can see the new movie queen Hilary Swank showing off her best actress, the Little Golden Man, with a complacent look, and you can also see that people who have not won awards will not be as depressed as imagined. For example, Ryan and Spielberg talked happily. For example, Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman, who was going to leave and go home, were happily discussing fashion topics such as clothes and accessories.


    For people like Ryan and Nicole, this party is no different from other social parties, which is just a show after the Oscars. Being able to stay here for a while is more because of a good relationship with Vanity Fair. And the personal relationship with Tina Brown.


    But for those who have just become famous or are eager to become famous. This party has an extraordinary meaning.


    Sometimes people are always surprised. Why are some little-known little people able to appear on the covers of famous magazines such as "Vanity Fair"? Why are some actors suddenly becoming one of the important members of a big production after the Oscars night? In fact, there are many deals. A preliminary agreement was reached at the glorious party.


    Not to mention the person in charge of other major studios, it is Ryan himself who has met people who have taken the initiative to strike up a conversation at parties in recent years. There are countless, everyone knows that being able to star in his movies is definitely a shortcut to fame.


    However, if you want to strike up a conversation, you must first get the admission ticket to the party. If the name is not on the list in the hands of the party organizer, then it is not easy to enter this celebrity party. Hollywood is a circle full of snobs.


    The invitation list of Vanity Fair exemplifies this very well.


    The composition of this list is divided into ¡®active inviters¡¯, including all Oscar nominees. In Tina Brown¡¯s words, ¡®only in this way can it be ensured that the final winner has an invitation letter in hand. Will appear at the party¡¯.


    There are also''top''s, including Hollywood''s top celebrities who were not nominated that year, such as Tom Hanks and other past Academy Award winners, such as Ryan, Spielberg, Shirley Lansing, Harvey? Big figures in the industry like Weinstein.


    The other ¡®extra duo¡¯ is the winner of various auctions organized by Vanity Fair in the past. These sponsors are often invited, and then if there is a relationship. You can pay enough to get an admission ticket.


    Ryan has heard that in the past few years, some wealthy young people who wanted to be famous once took out a check for $50,000 for this.


    Of course, the most popular people in Vanity Fair are the beautiful female models and the wealthy and celebrities who have too much money to spend. As long as they take the initiative to apply, wanting to come in is just a simple matter.


    Beautiful women can increase the attractiveness of the party, and the rich can burn a lot of money for the party...


    In the beginning, the Oscars night was a simple celebration party, but in recent years, it has been developing more and more in the direction of a trading venue.


    To some extent, the most glamorous and dirtiest side of Hollywood is displayed in this place at the same time.


    In just five minutes after Spielberg was sent away, Ryan frowned, and seven people came to him to introduce themselves, including some famous actresses and models who wanted to develop into the film and television industry...


    "Tina, you should open up a special area and put up a sign that people who strike up a conversation don''t enter." Ryan shook his head helplessly, and Tina Brown who had found him had no choice but to say with a smile, "The Oscar night lost the biggest one. Features."


    "Where is Nicole?" she asked again.


    "There are too many people talking, so go home and rest first." Ryan nodded to Nicholas Cage who was passing by, and then said, "Tina, believe me, it won''t be long before your resigned screenwriter, A book will be published to disclose the details of the party."


    "That would be the best." Tina Brown didn''t mind at all. "We are missing the most suitable topic for hype."


    Then, she narrowed her smile and said seriously, "I heard that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" is about to start, can you let your little actors accept an interview?"


    "There must be no problem on my side."


    Of course, Ryan will not refuse this kind of win-win situation. "The crew can cooperate with you to convince their agents and guardians, but the specific work still needs your people to do."


    "No problem, then it''s settled."


    I have to say that such a party is still very good, and a transaction has reached the initial intention.


    After Tina Brown left, Ryan was about to leave the hotel and go home. Charlize Theron stopped in front of him before he could go far.


    "Go back so early?" South African Diamond asked with a smile.


    "Nothing, I want to go back to rest soon."


    Seeing that she didn''t mean to give way, Ryan had to take the lead to walk towards the secluded rest area, "What''s the matter, Charlie?"


    "I have a friend, um... a former ballet school classmate who wanted to participate in the audition for American Idol, but missed the registration time."


    After taking two cups of soda from the passing waiter, Charlize Theron pressed Ryan in the chair and sat opposite him again, "Can you ease it?"


    "Small things." Ryan took a napkin and wrote a string of numbers on it. "This is John Stewart''s call. Ask your friend to contact him directly. I''ll let George greet him."


    "Then...thank you." Charlize Theron put away the napkins and asked, "I heard that there are many people who signed up for this show?"


    "It''s okay." After all, this is the first year, and the number of people who signed up is actually far less than Ryan expected.


    In fact, after several months of preparation and publicity and hype, Fox TV has simultaneously opened three registration methods: telephone, on-site and online. After the one-month registration period, the number of participants exceeded the expectations of several program leaders. Currently preparing for the sea election work, if nothing happens, in the next few months, a series of follow-up actions will begin.


    Although it is only the first time to test the waters, Fox TV has already seen the huge potential of this show and strongly urges to sign a long-term contract with Jenkins Pictures.


    Ryan meant that after this American Idol session was over, the following negotiations would be opened, so that Jenkins Pictures would be in a fully active position.


    Such a party is not a good place for long talks. Charlize Theron obviously knew this too, and it didn''t take long before he left the hotel.


    Drinking the remaining soda in the cup, Ryan waited patiently for a while, dialed George''s phone and ordered a few words, went to the underground parking lot and changed to a bodyguard''s car. After turning around West Hollywood twice, Only then drove towards the beach villa area of ??Santa Monica.


    From the moment Ryan walked into the door of the villa, Charlize Theron almost stuck to his body, and his long tongue kept wandering between his lips, seeming to want to entangle his tongue into a knot.


    The two of them are very familiar with each other''s body, Ryan is not polite, took off the pajamas of the South African Diamond in a few strokes, carried her into the bedroom upstairs, before closing the door, the two of them lay on their backs. On the soft carpet, I was completely plunged into madness, only each other''s bodies were left in my eyes.


    After a long time, Charlize leaned softly on Ryan''s body, raised his head and kissed his lips, and said vaguely, "Ryan, don''t leave, okay, stay here to accompany me tonight."


    "Of course." Ryan kissed her back, Charlize''s eyes lit up, and he said again, "Will you stay here with me for the next two days?"


    After that, she gently twisted her body, stroking a strong chest and angular abdominal muscles with one hand, and dropped to the bottom, "My dear, I will bring you the greatest happiness."


    Taking a deep breath, Ryan was very excited and almost nodded in response, but thinking that it was the end of March, he could only gritted his teeth and said, "Charlie, I still have a lot of work to do!"


    "Handling work?" Charlize frowned, then thought of something more urgent, and said with a slight disappointment, "Then... okay."


    "When I finish these few days, I will go out to sea together." Ryan comforted his smooth white back Charlize Theron laughed and leaned into Ryan''s ear and said, "You It seems unsatisfied, Ryan, do you need me to help you?"


    The sky-blue eyes lit up in an instant, and Ryan was about to roll over and press her down, Charlize had already pressed his chest, "Don''t worry, we have a whole night."


    While talking, she started from Ryan''s forehead and kissed all the way down. The sunken eye sockets, the tall bridge of the nose, and the chin that began to appear stubble all dropped her kisses like rain.


    Then, the long and flexible tongue burrowed into Ryan''s mouth again.


    After a long and lingering kiss, Charlize Theron''s body was getting lower and lower, and at the end, Ryan could only see the golden curly hair scattered on the lower abdomen.


    The dark night is still very long, and the Oscar night belonging to Ryan has just begun. (To be continued.

 Chapter 431： Turn of the century

    Compared with previous years, the seventy-second Oscar awards ceremony means more cakes. No film can get more than four statuettes. The seemingly most successful "American Beauty" is at the last moment. Lost the most important best film.


    In the past, when a movie dominated the Oscars, it would attract fierce criticism from the media. This method of dividing pork would also arouse criticism from the public opinion.


    To put it simply, the media don¡¯t care who is the winner or how many awards a certain film can get. What they want is just a topic of hype. As long as the media that attracts attention and claims to represent the public¡¯s voice, the winners can be won. The heavens can also make them worthless.


    Under normal circumstances, those who have not won the award will not only not be criticized, but they can also earn a lot of sympathy points.


    If this frustrated person is one of the hottest spots before the awards ceremony, and he himself has a huge influence in the United States, then there will definitely be a voice of grievances in the media afterwards.


    "The judges who can determine the ownership of the Oscar Performance Award have never liked young people. This can be seen from their attitude towards Ryan. They would rather award the best film to Jenkins Pictures as a consolation. I don¡¯t want Oscar to give birth to a best actor who is only twenty years old."


    "The college claims that it is carrying out rejuvenation reforms. What is the effect of the reforms? Maybe they will not admit it, but it has to be said that the core members of the college have always maintained an''old school'' style, indulging in the golden age and reluctant to sober In their eyes. Ryan is still young and can continue to wait. For this reason, they even turned a blind eye to the merits of this young man!"


    "Looking at the past history of Hollywood, we don¡¯t know who achieved Ryan¡¯s achievements at the age of 20. He was nominated for four consecutive best actor, created and starred in films that broke all the box office records that could be broken, and he was young. Light but it seems to be solid and mature, and has always maintained a professional spirit and a responsibility beyond age!"


    "Can these judges really not see it? The Polish artist wandering in the ruins really can''t impress them? Or did they habitually choose to ignore it?"


    "Under the situation where 70% of the Oscar judges are over 60 years old, it is conceivable that young people want to win heavyweight awards. A group of people born in the 40s and 50s. Of course, the honor they value does not include handsome and Young, with wrinkles engraved on their foreheads and white hair on the temples are their favorite!"


    "Although this suggestion is a bit outrageous, we still have to say,''Ryan, leave the Oscar for the time being, and wait for the best actor in the Oscar after the age of thirty! Otherwise. Even if you have achieved age-old maturity in film You can¡¯t stand on the spire of the film industry because the decisive factor is not the film and the character itself, but the age that you can¡¯t make up for no matter how hard you work.¡±


    The Los Angeles Times pointed the criticism at the old and conservative of the college, and their remarks are very representative of the voices of the media.


    "Among the young actors born in the 1970-1980 period. Ryan is definitely one of the best acting people, even the best one. His role in "The Pianist" is amazing. The character of the role''s anxiety and explosiveness is shown in detail. He is indeed a very talented actor. He can always provide convincing performances. Oscar did not choose him. It can only be said that it is irreparable. regret!"


    The "New York Times" remarks are relatively calm.


    As for the reaction of the fans, perhaps four consecutive times of being rude to the best actor, most fans have begun to get used to it. Although there are not a few people who abuse the Academy on the Internet, there has been no protest like last year.


    Of course, Ryan asked the agency team to post comforting and self-deprecating remarks on his personal website as soon as the Oscars ended, which also played a lot of role.


    After all, a lot of criticism and sympathy in the media are inseparable from his public relations. If there are large-scale protests in reality and on the Internet, it is likely to be counterproductive and attract dissatisfaction and disgust from the college.


    Public opinion must grasp the degree, and Ryan knows this well.


    He just wanted the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to remember that you have owed me a lot in the past four years...


    Ryan left all these matters to the team behind him to handle. After several years of training, they knew how to grasp the degree. However, he himself, after returning from the UK, focused most of his eyes on On the Nasdaq stock market, it is definitely very interesting to witness the end of another golden age in the United States.


    Perhaps it is the influence of deep-rooted religious culture. At the turn of the century or when the new millennium comes, Western society, especially North America, where liberalism is flooded, will always have a variety of inexplicable rumors, and the protagonists of these rumors are often A catastrophe capable of destroying human society.


    After entering the 1990s, the development of computers and the prosperity of the Internet have made the two penetrate into every corner of American society. I don¡¯t know where the rumors come from. The term millennium bug has become the most popular topic in the millennium. A considerable number of Americans They are all worried about whether a nuclear bomb controlled by a computer will be suddenly launched because of the millennium bug and eventually become the chief culprit in destroying the world.


    So movies about the millennium bug came into being. Even if humanity is about to be destroyed, Hollywood can seize the business opportunities and make a fortune.


    This is the characteristic of the media industry. Instead of believing that media professionals have a conscience, it is better to believe that politicians will tell the truth.


    The facts soon proved that this was another unnecessary worry. When the bell of the new millennium rang, the crystal ball on Times Square fell, the expected nuclear explosion did not occur, the whole world was operating as usual, and Hollywood was still drunk.


    After these worries dissipated, the rumored protagonist computer and the Internet have once again become the focus of attention in the United States, because the Nasdaq is performing miracles time and time again, and there are countless investors in IT stocks getting rich overnight.


    Greed is one of human nature. When one U.S. dollar becomes twenty U.S. dollars, investors will not choose enough, but want to turn twenty U.S. dollars into 10,000 U.S. dollars. The skyrocketing Nasdaq index seems to make this Everything seems to be extremely easy.


    If it wasn''t for knowing the ending in advance, even Ryan himself couldn''t guarantee that when faced with such a temptation, he would start letting go a year in advance.


    In fact, many investors know that the stock market is abnormal now, but they are bewildered by the huge immediate benefits. They always believe that the stock market''s frenzy will last for several years, and there will never be a crash in a short period of time...


    "Last month we all got rid of it."


    The new week is here, and in a large office in Burbank, Scott smiled and said to Ryan, "Except for the short money, we are now outsiders."


    "Don''t be too greedy, don''t attract too many people''s attention." Ryan put down the coffee cup in his hand, "It''s the old way. The funds are distributed to all foundation accounts. Don''t make too many actions during this period, regardless of Wall Street. Whatever we do, we can just watch."


    If there is no shadow of the Wall Street conglomerate behind the Nasdaq, I am afraid that even Satan would not believe it.


    Strictly speaking, Ryan and Scott''s approach can be regarded as grabbing cakes from Wall Street. Although they have done it very secretly, they have changed hands since last year, and even many popular stocks that are rising rapidly are sold to Wall Street. People who have touched other people¡¯s cakes, it¡¯s impossible without paying a price.


    Scott has always had close ties with Wall Street. Under Ryan''s instruction, he has reached some agreements with the major Jewish groups on Wall Street.


    Since last month, Pixar Studios and Jenkins Pictures have conducted a new round of financing, and Ryan has accepted their investment.


    People who know how to share will always be more popular than those who eat alone, and Ryan''s future plans will also require the support of Wall Street. The resources they hold are far from what any rich man or group company can match.


    Although the shares held by Ryan will inevitably be diluted to less than 50%, plus the shares held by Nicole, the second largest shareholder, still firmly holds the controlling rights.


    Besides, those people are just investments, and as long as the company can benefit, they will not jump out and make unnecessary interventions.


    "Time should not be far away."


    Hearing Scott''s emotion, Ryan nodded in agreement.


    As early as mid-March, the Nasdaq index had a slight decline, but most people believed that this was a normal self-adjustment of the market. Things seemed to be what they expected, and it ended on Oscar night. The next day, Cisco¡¯s stock price rose by 0.86%, and its total stock value exceeded US$550 billion, thus surpassing Microsoft in one fell swoop and sitting on the throne of global market value.


    The stock market is full of joy ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Analysts believe that Cisco''s becoming the world''s most valuable company is another important sign of the advent of the Internet age, and it is expected to become the world''s first company with a market value of more than one trillion US dollars.


    The previous view may be correct, but the latter is obviously advocating.


    When Scott first started negotiating with Cisco last year, the company¡¯s market value was only more than 200 billion U.S. dollars. In just half a year, it surpassed GM, stepped on Microsoft, and became the world¡¯s largest company in market value. Are there really so many real assets?


    According to the preliminary conclusion of Ryan¡¯s research and consulting company, Cisco¡¯s actual assets will not exceed 50 billion US dollars at most, and the rest is a bubble. Although Cisco¡¯s helm John Chambers continues to advocate that his company has a bright future, things have come. Now, it has long been beyond the control of Cisco''s board of directors.


    If you look at the current situation, the price that Ryan sold at that time was extremely uneconomical, but the shares he held the most were Yahoo and Cisco shares. If they were not sold in time and delayed until this year, throwing them on the market would definitely cause a problem. In a disaster, not to mention how much money can be recovered, I am afraid he himself will become a public enemy of the IT industry and Wall Street. (To be continued.

 Chapter 432： income

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "Be brave only when you should be brave!"


    Even Ryan, a guy who has no faith, agrees with this very much.


    He would rather abandon the gains he might get-of course, the unexpected may be greater-than take unnecessary risks. The stock market is unpredictable, and even the top people on Wall Street don''t dare to say Nasdaq. When will the index collapse.


    The act of selling tens of billions of dollars in stocks before the stock market crashed and making money is doomed to appear only in fantasy.


    In the past year, in addition to the transfer negotiations with Yahoo and Cisco, Scott¡¯s team also hired a large number of traders to slowly sell stocks through multiple accounts to cash out. The specific operation in the middle was unknown to Ryan, only Knowing that Scott remained cautious enough and used a lot of methods.


    Stocks do not represent how much market value they represent, but actually have as much value. Even laymen like Ryan know that every sell-off will bring a certain amount of volatility to the market, if billions of dollars are thrown away. It¡¯s hard to say that Nasdaq will collapse last year.


    Fortunately, Scott is a good player in this area, and the team is professional enough. Although a considerable part of the money was inevitably lost, he successfully fulfilled Ryan''s requirements at the time.


    Appropriate greed will keep people motivated, and excessive greed will only bring disaster.


    Ryan was satisfied with the income he was able to get last year. Besides, Nasdaq will soon be hit hard. Google, which accepted his investment last year, is planning a new round of financing. There will be opportunities to make money in the future. , There is no need to take those huge risks at all.


    "Ryan, if your actual net worth is announced, you will definitely enter the top ten of the Forbes rich list next year." Scott smiled very brightly, not to mention his own investment, only Ryan''s dividends. , Is enough to make him one of the top richest in North America. "And you are different from Bill Gates and the others. Most of what you have in your hand is cash."


    "Can you tell me a specific number?" If you have more wealth, it is actually a game of numbers.


    "The specific number is still being calculated, and I estimate it should be between US$16 billion and US$18 billion."


    Hearing what Scott said, Ryan just let out a sigh, and didn''t change too much, and asked casually, "Is that all?"


    "Part of the funds were used to invest in Google last year, and part of them to acquire a small amount of shares in Walt Disney." Scott roughly explained the whereabouts of some of the funds. "Don''t forget. Also pay dividends to the investment team and traders."


    "This is the number after tax payment?" Ryan asked again.


    "Yes, after paying taxes."


    Hearing what Scott said, Ryan nodded in relief.


    If this money is exploited by the greatest and most powerful department of the United States, the Inland Revenue Department, how much will be left in the end?


    State taxes, federal taxes... Thinking of some taxes that he can''t even name, Ryan only felt that his head was two times bigger.


    Whether the United States is heaven or **** has nothing to do with him. With Ryan''s current status and status, he has no perception of these for a long time, maybe after the stock market crash. Those who jumped off the Empire State Building and Brooklyn Bridge will have a clearer answer.


    With money, Ryan has the confidence to promote the next plan, otherwise everything is just fantasy.


    He made such a compromise with the Jewish group on Wall Street. Accepting their investment is not about sharing for the sake of sharing.


    "Ryan, if things are really as we expected, we need to determine the next investment direction." A large sum of money is in hand. It is definitely not a wise choice.


    "IT industry!" Ryan didn''t care about Scott''s surprised expression at all, and said to himself, "These are not in a hurry. I''ll talk about it when the stock market really changes."


    Ryan doesn''t know how much influence a person has on a world. He only knows that someone in his previous life said that what he can affect is only the area covered by his palm.


    To use Nicole¡¯s joke back then, there is a little **** named Ryan Jenkins in this world, and some changes will definitely happen.


    But this change is more reflected in Hollywood. For the United States, for the stock market, he is just the wings of a weak little butterfly.


    Nothing unexpected happened in the previous life. At the beginning, people expected this to be only a temporary decline, but the panic in the market quickly spread to all corners, and the Nasdaq index was more than 5000 points from its peak in March. , Fell to less than 2000 points a few months later.


    The myth of it has been shattered. The Empire State Building, Golden Gate Bridge, and Brooklyn Bridge, which are popular suicide sites in the United States, have once again become lively. The loss of husbands¡¯ wives and fatherless children has become the focus of media attention and benefited Those people will only hide in the dark to enjoy the dividends they get.


    Of course, as usual, the rich will always show their generosity at such moments. For example, those famous Wall Street tycoons call for attention to family bankruptcy. Who would have thought that the foundation they control through secret means is precisely this. One of the winners of this sharing event.


    There is also Ryan, a charitable foundation under his name, which is selectively helping some bankrupt families, especially some capable securities brokers and financial practitioners.


    "Hey, Nicole, that big sum of money..."


    Ryan was sitting in his garden, talking on the phone with Nicole who had gone to Australia, "How are you going to spend it?"


    As the person who helped him the most and the closest person, Ryan has never forgotten Nicole Kidman since the day he started investing. She is the second largest shareholder in all of his industries, and she has also made a lot of money this time. Pen dividends.


    If you put it on the bright side, it can occupy an important position on the list of rich women.


    "Judy, Annie and Kate, I are on a farm in Queensland. We plan to buy all the other two nearby farms, and then re-plan to build the most beautiful holiday estate in Australia." Nicole As soon as he finished speaking, there was a woman''s laughter in the receiver, followed by Antonia Kidman''s words, "Ryan, if possible, we will buy the Gold Coast and the Great Barrier Reef."


    "Anne, don''t mess around." After Nicole scolded his sister, Grid laughed. "The four of us will form a joint negotiating team. After our vacation, we will go to Hawaii to negotiate with David Murdoch and the Hawaii State government. , I will buy Lanai for you."


    "Me?" Ryan''s question had just been sent out, and Nicole said again, "You pay the money, and of course it must be in your name. That''s it. I have to contact the lawyers to make preparations."


    Hanging up the phone, Ryan looked boredly at the helicopter on the tarmac in the distance, thinking of Lanai Island that Nicole had said before.


    Soon after the two went on vacation, they officially joined the ranks of buying. The sale of such a large island is by no means a short-term thing, and just as he had expected, after his buyer appeared, Bill Gay Sure enough, he lacked interest and put all his energy back on dealing with the antitrust investigation in the Federal Court.


    The most powerful competitor is naturally Larry Ellison, but this madman does not have much energy to worry about Lanai Island. Oracle, a standard IT company, although the stocks are falling, it is far better than nothing. Going to Cisco and other companies was enough to keep him at the helm for a while.


    The collapse of Nasdaq has just begun. Blizzard Entertainment and Pixar Studios have also been affected, but the market value of these two companies is not high, and in recent years, they have achieved large profits every year. Last year Scott also cooperated with the executives of the two companies to curb the rapid rise in stocks. Coupled with the current sufficient capital reserves, the impact can be minimized as much as possible.


    When will the IT industry pick up? Ryan thought for a while. There was no concept of time at all. He vaguely remembered that after Google went public, it led to the revival of the entire IT industry.


    If you count it this way, don¡¯t worry, Google is now just a very humble small company. Larry Page and Sergey Brin originally planned to raise funds on Wall Street and go public soon, but now the changes in the stock market will definitely let them. After the infinite delay of the plan, investors will also look down on this industry in the short term, and Google may not be able to accept its own investment again.


    If it goes well, will you become Google''s largest shareholder? Even if the market will be diluted after a few years, that is one thing that can wake up in dreams.


    This unreliable random thinking made Ryan feel very happy, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly under the not-so-hot sunlight.


    In the future, I have three women to raise, to promote my dearest sister as a superstar in the pop music world, and to overwhelm the enemy whose fangs are becoming more and more visible. All of these need money.


    "Ryan, Miss Theron is here." George, who was sitting on the other side, reminded.


    Converging the imperceptible smile, Ryan stood up and walked towards the garage. He met the black masked face masked man with a hood and took over the large travel bag she was carrying.


    "Ready?" He upturned his travel bag, it''s not very heavy, it should be some clothes.


    "Didn''t you say that, you just need to bring close-fitting clothes, do you have preparations on the other boats?" Charlize Theron generously took Ryan''s arm, "Can we set off?"


    "Here." Ryan took her to the tarmac. "The yacht has already sailed out of the port. Let''s go directly by plane."


    "good idea."


    Hearing this good way to avoid reporters, Charlize frowned slightly, then let go, "Honey, do you drive by yourself?"


    "If you don''t mind falling into the sea." Driving a car is okay, but if Ryan is flying a plane, I am afraid that the plane crash will happen before he is outside the range of Jenkins Manor.


    The helicopter circled low and quickly followed the scheduled route to the Santa Monica Pier. Ryan''s newly arrived yacht was waiting for them in the deep sea area outside the pier.

 Chapter 433： On the yacht

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! \"Does it have a name?\"


    Charlize looked at the white yacht on the sea through the porthole of the helicopter, and asked loudly, "Do you need me to help you pick one?"


    \"Sorry, the name has already been reserved.\" Ryan pointed to the position of the bow of the ship for her, and the red letters on the white background were unusually obvious.


    \"t.s?\"Charlize frowned,\"What''s this name.\"


    \"...\" Ryan made a helpless gesture to her, Charlize laughed, \"That lovely Taylor Swift sister is giving you a headache?\"


    \"It¡¯s better now.\" At least I won¡¯t cry to myself.


    The helicopter slowly landed on the tarmac on the deck of the yacht.This huge tarmac can park two helicopters at the same time.


    \"Will you not show me a tour?\"


    Facing Charlize Theron¡¯s first words after getting off the plane, Ryan could only smile helplessly, \"I also got on board for the first time.\"


    The delivery of the yacht hasn''t been long, Ryan hasn''t been there in person, and most of the things are entrusted to George to handle it.


    \"The people who took us to visit.\" The captain and first mate who came up, Ryan shook hands with them one by one, \"Captain Smith, can you show us around?\"


    \"Of course, Mr. Jenkins, you are the master here.\" Mr. Captain made a please gesture to Ryan.


    The management, driving and maintenance team of this yacht originally belonged to a specialized yacht service company with excellent reputation. George spent a lot of money to dig it over. Like Ryan''s bodyguard team, they are well paid and signed strict confidentiality. treaty.


    The private yacht team serving the rich also knows what to do and what not to.


    Captain Smith led Ryan and Charlize to browse around and returned to their jobs. Ryan and the two came to the top deck of the yacht, looking out at the sea, and chatting about topics of mutual interest.


    This luxury yacht whose naming rights was snatched by Taylor. It is 396 feet in length and is mainly composed of steel and aluminum alloy. It has a displacement of more than 9,000 tons, and is equipped with a turbocharged engine with a power of up to 15,000 horsepower and a top speed of 25 knots per hour. The speed is 22 knots. Before the delivery of some of the yachts belonging to Nicole, a long-term performance test was carried out in the Bering Sea area with complex environment, and all the equipment including the escape boat from the air humidifier was debugged.


    Originally, according to Ryan¡¯s plan, he wanted to build a yacht over 450 feet, but it was only after communication that it was known. Such a yacht is indeed luxurious and magnificent, but its fuel consumption is astronomical, and more importantly, such a long one. The construction time of the yacht will be prolonged indefinitely.


    The current model is also sufficient to meet Ryan''s requirements.


    The yacht is equipped with a stage, exhibition hall, screening hall, 3 restaurants, 2 kitchens, aquarium, disco, bath, swimming pool, gymnasium with sauna, steam room, room for 100 people, and 60 crew members He is stationed with technicians, and the pilot of the helicopter is also a former Marine Corps pilot that George found.


    \"If you are happy, you can take off your clothes and enjoy the afterglow of the sunset\" After Ryan went to the locker room to change clothes, he said to Charlize Theron who was lying on the lounger,\"Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re wearing a bit more now? ,Dear?\"


    \"I just left the dock, and I don''t want to be the subject of other people''s sneak shots.\" Charlize pointed to the ship that had traveled in the distance, \"God knows if anyone above is facing this side with a telephoto lens.\"


    \"Don¡¯t worry about this.\" Ryan sat on the lounge chair next to him, leaned over and kissed the red lips of the South African diamond.\" There are two high-power radars on the yacht, and laser anti-photographing equipment is also installed. Detect the presence of the image sensor, it will emit a laser beam, which will affect the camera''s imaging system.\"


    \"You are really willing to spend money.\" Charlize took the juice from the table and gave it to Ryan, \"I want to sleep for a while, don''t disturb me.\"


    The yacht does not have a clear destination.After leaving the coast of California, it is heading to the southern waters.The empty sky and peaceful sea make it easy for people to let go of those noisy minds and sleep quietly.


    With Charlize Theron sleeping soundly, Ryan simply squeezed onto the same couch, hugged his slender body tightly in his arms, gently kissed the white and smooth forehead, and whispered''good dreams'' Later, he slowly closed his eyes.


    The sun fell into the sea, and the hazy darkness gradually descended on this world.The faint starlight descended from the sky and sprinkled on the men and women who hugged each other.They hugged and slept, forgetting the whole world.


    The sea breeze that occasionally blows, with an obvious coolness, seems to be using this way to remind the unforgettable men and women that you have not entered the Garden of Eden, and you are still in this chaotic and complicated society.The reality cannot be escaped from sleep.


    The golden eyebrows quivered slightly, Charlize opened her eyes, the coldness of her back and the heat of her chest made her experience two completely different feelings.


    When she raised her head, she could only have a handsome face in a deep sleep.She shrank subconsciously, thinking that the whole person would lean into this incomparably nostalgic embrace, but her white forehead hit her chin with her golden curly hair. There was a clear clicking sound.


    Oh, hell!


    Charlize stuck his tongue out, and without waiting for Ryan who opened his eyes to pass, he cocked his head and pouted soft red lips, blocking the complaints that had not yet been made.


    After a long and deep kiss, the two people with silver threads on their lips separated. Ryan lightly patted her **** for fear, and looked up at the stars in the sky, \"I didn''t want to sleep for so long.\ "


    \"recent.


    A lot of work? \"Charlize turned his body, jumped off the couch, took the blanket on the other side, carefully covered Ryan, \"It is rare that you can fall asleep during the day.\"


    \"No matter how energetic people are, they will get tired.\" The slumping stock market does involve a lot of his energy.


    \"Are you hungry? I''m going to the kitchen to eat...\" Charlize sorted out the crumpled t-shirt and shorts, Ryan stopped her, \" It''s a bit cold outside, let''s go to the restaurant on the back deck.\ "


    \"But I want the stars.\" Charlize snarled at the sky like a girl who had not grown up.


    \"Let¡¯s go to the master bedroom.\"


    The two did not look for the service staff on the yacht, and went into the kitchen enthusiastically.Ryan chose steak dessert and juice for himself, and Charlize ordered tender lamb chops and red wine, and went back to the master bedroom on the top floor.


    Because Ryan has no sense of classics, the whole ship shows a modern decoration style. This huge master bedroom carefully crafted by a French designer highlights the technological elements. Although it looks a little cold, it gives people a kind of future. feel.


    \"Next time we shoot a science fiction film, we don''t need to set up the scene.\"


    When facing Ryan alone, Charlize would not have any scruples.She played the silver-white low table and sat directly on the thick carpet, facing the dark sea through the 270-degree glass window. Ennu snorted, \"Very good, but not the stars I want.\"


    Putting the plate he was holding in front of her, Ryan found a remote control from the bedside table and pressed it lightly. There was an undetectable sound of friction from the ceiling, and it automatically retracted to the sides. Passing the huge glass ceiling, a little bit of starlight fell down.


    \"How much did you spend to build this yacht?\" Charlize asked curiously.


    Ryan shrugged, sat next to her, and did not answer.Charlize was only curious for a while, and quickly threw this question behind his head, and concentrated on enjoying the world of the two.


    I don''t know when, Charlize threw his knife and fork aside, and went into Ryan''s arms. He showed what he wanted to eat with his eyes, and then opened his mouth and waited. If Ryan took the steak into a lamb chop, she would be attracted. Grind his teeth and swear that if there is another time, I will give it to him.


    But when Ryan was wrong again next time, she was still repeating the process.


    This beautiful diamond knows how to maximize its charm.


    \"Want to eat, dear? If you want to eat, tell me.\"


    This is the last grilled steak. Charlize bit it lightly and deliberately dangled it at Ryan''s mouth.\"Don''t you want to eat it? This is your favorite nine-mature black pepper steak... \"


    She muttered, not very clear.


    Ryan suddenly laughed, holding her hand, and suddenly squeezing it around Charlize''s chest.


    The South African Diamond made a surprised sound of ¡®uh¡¯, and the steak fell on the white T-shirt. He rolled his eyes and murmured, "You really don¡¯t know the fun."


    \"I wanted to catch it.\" Ryan shook his other hand and said helplessly,\"but the action was a little slower.\"


    \"My dear, this is not a movie?\" Charlize threw the steak into the trash can, wiped the stains of the T-shirt casually, and sat back next to Ryan.\" Have you not escaped The state of King Lisa, thinking that he is a skilled Aragorn.\"


    \"It¡¯s a little slower.\" Ryan bends his fingers and gestures for the shortest distance, \"Really only a little bit.\"


    This dinner lasted for a few hours, and the two people were full of fun, and the food wasted far more than they ate. The brand new handmade carpet was contaminated on the first day of fulfilling their mission. Countless oil stains and red wine basically announced the fate of scrap.


    Neither Ryan nor Charlize wanted to spoil this warm atmosphere.They took a bath together, dried their hair together, put on pajamas together, and lay down to identify the constellations in the sky.


    \"This must be a centaur!\" Charlize Theron is very sure.


    \"Absolutely impossible, the centaur is on the other side, this should be Orion! \"Ryan scratched his head,\"No, no, no, this is Aquarius.\"


    \"My dear, do you know how to recognize constellations?\"


    \"Do you understand, Charlie?\"


    The two people who looked at each other laughed at the same time, hugged each other slowly, and fell asleep.

 Chapter 434： Whats on the set

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! The relaxing holiday is over in an instant, Ryan has returned to the Kingdom of Great Britain, and the sky above London rarely shows the sun, good The weather and the good news coming one after another made him feel very good, and everything seemed to indicate that this year will be exceptionally smooth. One second to remember "" the hottest novel update is the fastest


    After entering April, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" officially announced its launch. It became the most sensational news in the entertainment industry after the Oscars. A large number of paparazzi and reporters circled the crew every day, randomly photographed actors or jobs. Photos of personnel can be written out by them.


    In addition, "Gladiator", which has not been promoted much, has become the focus of their reports. These two heavyweight crews are not far apart and have a close relationship with Ryan. The focus of Fleet Street immediately shifted to London. Outskirts.


    Terenas, who works for The Sun, is an ace reporter in the entertainment section. Since last year, he has been following the progress of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" because some of the upper-level issues are unclear. He is occasionally able to apply to enter the studio, and despite strict restrictions on taking pictures in the crew, he can be regarded as one of the most well-informed reporters.


    At the end of March, he went to Los Angeles to witness the legendary man''s failure at the Oscar again. With the talent and pursuit of the other party, he would never give up, and he would definitely make another impact with his new works.


    Therefore, Terenas focused on Northampton, looking forward to the big news with a sensational effect.


    Of course, with the style of the newspaper and his pen, even if it is not very big news, it can be written into explosive news.


    "Hi, Darren."


    At the door of the set, Terenas greeted the people who walked in front of him, "Aren''t you acting as a temporary assistant to Director Scott? How come you have time to pick me up?"


    "Mr. Scott has too many assistants, and there is no shortage of me." Darren Bowsman gave him a gesture you know. Beckoned, "Let''s go, old rules."


    "I see."


    With that said, Terenas walked into the set in the enviable eyes of dozens of reporters. Although many areas were restricted areas, his eyes were like Sherlock Holmes and would not let go of any valuable news clues.


    "You are obstructing the freedom of the press..."


    Listening to the protests coming from behind, Terenas shook his head. For a while, he was actually shouting like this.


    As for freedom of the press or something. Those who shout will not take it seriously, let alone others...


    As in the previous visits, Terenas entered the erected arena and handed the camera to the dedicated staff. Together with Darren Bosman, they changed into the attire of an ancient Roman civilian and sat down. In the makeshift stand, he became one of the two thousand audience actors.


    Although it needs to be under the direction of the deputy director, from time to time, screams that are angry, excited, or irritating. But for an entertainment reporter, it is very rare to be able to witness the shooting of an epic production many times at such a close distance.


    Not to mention. An actor on the set is also called Ryan Jenkins!


    Who is the other party? He is a person who can attract the attention of the whole world in every move, he is a recognized superstar, and the best acting actor of the young generation among the film critics. The works he participated in creating and performing have broken all the box office records that can be broken...


    He is young. Handsome and rich!


    The other party is definitely the richest person in the same age group, from 1990 to now. It took him only ten years from starting from scratch to a wealth of billions of dollars. Many people even speculate that the wealth he has not exposed may be more.


    Such people are naturally the focus of the "Sun"''s long-term focus. Although they often hype some unreliable news, Terenas always remembers what the editor-in-chief specifically ordered, and we must grasp the degree.


    He knows the reason. The other party is a big man who can be equal to News Corp. President Rupert Murdoch. There are many common interests between the two sides, and the "Sun" is just a tabloid under News Corporation.


    "It seems lucky today."


    Terenas¡¯s attention was focused on the arena, and he could witness the two superstars face-to-face confrontation, but it was rare, "Ryan Jenkins vs. Leonardo DiCaprio, this A film can attract a large number of female audiences into the theater without much publicity."


    "What are you talking about?" Darren Bousman next to him asked.


    "The box office of this movie is definitely not a problem!" Terenas replied.


    He said this for a certain reason, after all, "The Pianist" suffered a complete defeat at the box office.


    This movie has received unanimous praise from the critics, and is even considered a classic among the classics. However, whether it is touted by the critics or the best Oscar film, it cannot affect the audience¡¯s viewing experience too much. The box office is still falling all the way, and it is already in danger of downgrades in North America. According to the estimates of professional organizations, the North American box office of movies cannot exceed 50 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office is about 110 million to 130 million U.S. dollars. between.


    Whether you can rely on the box office to recover costs depends on the contract terms signed by Jenkins Pictures with overseas publishers...


    There is no need to look back for the information. Terenas also knows that "The Pianist" is definitely the one with the lowest box office among the films that Ryan Jenkins has participated in. Even some media who oppose it for the sake of opposition cannot wait. Jumping out, claiming that he has no box office appeal...


    Regarding this statement, Terenas just wants to say that there is a problem with his head. If this kind of niche movie can get hundreds of millions of dollars in the box office, then it is a problem. Even if it is a booze hype, it still cannot be changed. The nature of the movie niche.


    As for the "Gladiator" in the filming below, Terenas has seen the short novellas previously published on "Vanity Fair". Among them, the theme of freedom and responsibility should be very appetizing of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. En obviously aimed at next year''s Oscar.


    The only uncertainty is whether this epic production can find a balance between business and art?


    The sound of metal crashing from below interrupted Terenas¡¯ thoughts. Ryan Jenkins, dressed as a gladiator, was slashing with Leonardo DiCaprio wearing a gorgeous armor. , The action director who is holding the mirror at the same time, will call to stop from time to time, call the two aside, and exhort a few words.


    With short hair, a strong and handsome face, a body full of explosive power, the man who does not see his age and whose expression seems to have gone through the vicissitudes of life, gives Terenas the feeling of being so powerful, like Ah Chloes walked out of Homer''s epic and descended on the Kingdom of Great Britain.


    There seems to be no difficulty in this world that can restrain his progress. It seems that all the difficulties are vulnerable in front of him. His past experience and the brilliance he has achieved all prove this.


    If God is unfair, the existence of Ryan Jenkins is the greatest unfairness!


    Looking at the person who had reentered the shooting state, and I don''t know why, Terenas remembered this very widely spread word.


    But he obviously ignored that Achilles has a deadly Achilles heel...


    The shooting is not as good as expected. The shots in the film have undergone a lot of post-processing. As a senior entertainment reporter, Terenas knows this well. Although he does not have a camera and other equipment, he patiently observes and looks for Any news material that can be enlarged.


    Since Ryan Jenkins decided to put the crews of "Gladiator" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" in the UK, the income of the practitioners on Fleet Street has soared. Everyone can''t wait for him to become a British citizen right away and put his home completely in place. London, how many chances of hype will increase in the future?


    Should we mobilize colleagues to put pressure on the government in reporting?


    Some time ago, there was a gossip. It is said that the Queen ordered the House of Lords to study the issue of honours. Presumably the other party will not reject the title of the great Kingdom of Great Britain. It is one of the highest honors in the world of style and sports...


    The following shooting is still intermittent. In Terenas¡¯s eyes, Leonardo DiCaprio is simply a ng expert. Compared with Ryan, his skill is simply far behind. If the venue is really in If he held a life-and-death battle, he might have died at least ten times.


    Of course, Terenas knows that before this movie, Ryan also starred in Aragorn in "Lord of the Rings", although the crew regards secrecy as defending state secrets, and the "Sun" can''t find out. There is so much useful news. He must have received strict swordsmanship training before he played King Ilisa.


    Terenas still remembers When Jenkins Pictures officially announced the adaptation of "Lord of the Rings" into a movie, it attracted a lot of questions from the media and book fans because they wanted to reproduce the huge content of the book. The earth world is too difficult. A New Zealand director who is not very famous can really do all of this?


    As for Aragon, on the contrary, many people are looking forward to the role played by Ryan Jenkins, and the age difference is almost ignored. After all, after watching "Leaves of a Deserted Island", as long as there is some common sense in the movie People who know, age and experience are not obstacles to Ryan at all.


    Just like a general in "Gladiator", Terenas has never doubted whether Ryan Jenkins can interpret this role as a wife and child into a classic in movie history.


    One afternoon''s time soon ended. Terenas walked down the temporary stand of the arena, and under the supervision of Darren Bousman, after retrieving his camera and other equipment, he walked outside the set.


    In fact, he will leave here obediently without the need for others to supervise. Terenas still understands the truth of the small loss. He must hurry back and organize his thoughts, how to write what he has seen and heard today. Exaggerated just the right entertainment news.

 Chapter 435： Consider

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! Is there any media in this world that is completely objective?


    Perhaps in a very short period of time, some media can reach this level, but in most of the time, whether it is a big newspaper that focuses on reputation or a tabloid that likes to hype, there is a standpoint. . One second to remember "" the hottest novel update is the fastest


    The Sun is no exception, and the thing that can affect it most is undoubtedly controlling its capital.


    Although "The Sun" occasionally bursts out some Murdoch family laces to show his ¡®justice¡¯ attitude, some minefields will not take the initiative to touch them.


    It can oppose the government and the British royal family, and offend the entire Merseyside indifferently, because in this world-shaking society of ¡®freedom of speech¡¯, they really don¡¯t have much to do with it.


    But in the face of capital, no matter how crazy editors of the "Sun" are, they have to bow their heads, especially when facing the capital that controls the newspaper.


    The previous "Gladiator" was a masterpiece produced by DreamWorks, but Ryan would not choose DreamWorks because the other party''s influence in the media was far from enough. He chose 20th Century Fox as his partner.


    This is also one of the reasons why reporters from "The Sun" were able to enter the set.


    In essence, movies are not much different from other commercial products, and the lack of advertising means that no one cares about them.


    "Rome! Rome! Rome! In any study of world history, it seems that few authors are exempt from vulgarity. When mentioning the name of this empire, they don¡¯t need to sing and sigh like singing arias."


    "I believe that the earliest sense of world history by many people who love history always originated in the Roman Empire. Even if you take a small fragment from the history of the Roman Empire, you will feel that it is an epic!"


    "Ryan must have a similar idea. His new movie selects a very small element during the heyday of the Roman Empire, and then teamed up with the famous director Ridley Scott to create a magnificent epic masterpiece. "


    "The movie is still being shot, and the final result is unknown, but what the reporter saw and heard on the set felt the shock from the soul..."


    "In order to truly reproduce that glorious and great empire, the crew spent a lot of money. It took a few months to build an ancient Roman city and a huge arena. If it were not for the presence of the crew and a series of modern facilities, it would be kind of kind. Back to the feeling of the Roman Empire."


    "Don''t talk about the scenes that are actually reproduced by the crew and the various props carefully crafted. The actors alone are enough to attract our attention..."


    "I believe everyone has seen the novel of the same name published by Ryan, although there will be many changes in the plot after being adapted into the movie. But Ryan and Leonardo DiCaprio, a pair of friends, co-starred in the two most important ones. Roles."


    "Just yesterday, the reporter saw the scene of their confrontation with their own eyes. The scenes of the two superstars on the scene were really exciting, and they were in addition to the scenes. The two also fought and staged an extremely exciting battle. Drama, presumably this will also become one of the most attractive scenes in the movie."


    "Ryan has not been affected by the defeat of the best actor in the corner. As always, he has devoted himself to the role. Under his wonderful interpretation. All the people on the scene can experience what is called wisdom, justice, responsibility and dignity... ¡­"


    Despite the infamous "Sun", this report is not too exaggerated. It was reprinted by several large media afterwards, and after being sent back to North America, it attracted widespread attention. For several years in a row, Ryan will release at least one heavyweight work every year, except for last year¡¯s "The Pianist". Besides, which one is not a typical example of double-bumping at the box office of reputation?


    After the genius liar, the British ship, the modern Robinson, and the Polish artist, he set his sights on one of the most glorious empires in history. Without much consideration, "Gladiator", a **** occupation that really exists in history, will definitely be Become the focus of attention of fans and the public.


    For a time, Gladiator became a popular term in the media and the Internet.


    Jenkins Pictures officially launched the film¡¯s publicity plan. There are endless introductions to the Gladiator and the Ancient Roman Empire in the media. Ryan¡¯s specious "Gladiator" short novelette has also appeared again in "Vanity Fair". Prominent location.


    The film is still being shot, and the publicity is far from being effective. It is enough to maintain a proper topicality.


    "Why must it be released this year, Ryan?"


    Just after filming a fight scene, Ryan sat in a chair and panted. Ridley Scott came over and complained, "For such a film, half a year of post-production time Too nervous."


    "This is what we said at the beginning. You won''t regret it?" Ryan pointed to the chair next to him, gestured to him, and said in a low voice, "What is this movie aimed at? Go, I think you should be very clear, Ridley, I promise, as long as there are no problems with post-production, I will try my best to get you a nomination for best director!"


    Interest is the best weapon to move people, and Ryan knows this well.


    "We''re going to speed up the shooting!" Ridley Scott turned around and said before leaving, "Ryan, I hope you don''t leave the crew and run back on vacation alone like you did some time ago."


    "Hey, I was going back to work." Ryan waved his hand dissatisfiedly.


    "Tell me honestly, Ryan." Leonardo, who was sitting on the other side, drank the hot coffee in the cup, and came over. "Which beauty did you go on a date with? Let me think about it. The media a few days ago I have been hot about Natalie Portman''s swearing at Harvard. She has not been out of the sight of the media. It shouldn''t be her... Well, that''s Charlize Theron, right?"


    Ryan remained the same, neither admitting nor denying it.


    Leonardo is an expert in picking up girls, he immediately lowered his voice when he saw this, and said gossiping, "Wow, wow, Ryan, when did you catch the South African diamond? Can you elaborate on it? This is very, very selling gossip..."


    "Leon, we haven''t finished filming our gladiatorial scene. Should I chop your upper arm next time or your neck? Maybe your mouth is a good choice." At this point, Ryan had already laughed and joked. "I think Leonardo DiCaprio, who has lost his teeth, may be more popular with female models."


    "Come on, Ryan." Leonardo''s mouth trembled. "My mouth is always very strict!"


    He has been in Hollywood for many years, knowing what to say, what not to say, and what to choose to ignore.


    The handsome boy rolled his eyes and quickly changed the subject, "Ryan, I heard that you have a lot of experience in Oscar public relations?"


    "Don''t worry, Leon, as long as you perform well." Ryan patted him on the shoulder, stood up and walked to the side. George was beckoning to him, and before leaving, he said one last word, "Excavate more of Comodes'' heart. Right."


    Walking out of the rest area, Ryan asked George, "What''s the matter?"


    "Pat''s call." Mr. Bodyguard coolly handed over the satellite phone, "It seems that there is an emergency, she wants you to call back as soon as possible."


    Finding a secluded place, Ryan dialed Pie Jinsli''s phone. The manager lady must be able to tell George in this way, there must be a very important thing.


    "Did something happen, Pat?"


    "That''s it, Ryan." Pie Jinsli seemed to be looking for something, and then said after a while, "The Organizing Committee of the Cannes Film Festival has sent an invitation..."


    "I... I don''t seem to have a film participating in the exhibition, right?" Ryan was a little strange, "I didn''t hold any position in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."


    Li Anhui took "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to the Cannes Film Festival. Unlike his previous life, for publicity considerations, he and Xu Ligong signed up for the competition and were also qualified.


    "Ryan, are you all right?"


    "Well, you go on, Pat."


    "The organizing committee invites you to serve as a judge."


    Hearing Jinsli say this, Ryan was even more strange, "It seems that the judges of the Cannes Film Festival have decided in advance? What''s the matter?"


    "The actress from Italy, Etana Sanchez Nyon, temporarily withdrew from the jury due to physical discomfort. Luc Besson invited you after consulting the festival organizing committee." Probably it is. Knowing that Ryan doesn''t care much about the European Film Festival, Jinsli explained again, "Luc is the chairman of the jury this time, and he will call you in person at the latest tomorrow."


    "It seems that the Cannes Film Festival is determined to move closer to business." Ryan sighed with emotion.


    With the proliferation of Hollywood movies, the three major European film festivals are inevitably affected. Although strictly speaking, the Oscars are the product of Hollywood self-entertainment, their status in the hearts of ordinary movie fans around the world has long surpassed the traditional Three major film festivals.


    In order to avoid decline, the Cannes Film Festival has been trying to carry out commercial reforms since a few years ago. This year, Luc Besson, a fully commercialized director, served as the chairman of the jury.


    "Ryan If you are not interested, I will reject Luc for you." Jinsli interrupted his thoughts, and Ryan said after thinking about it, "Let''s do it, you first Answer it for me."


    Even though he is a substitute judge, he is also a judge, isn''t it?


    Besides, mid-May is the time for his next vacation. Originally, he had an appointment with Leonardo to go to Cannes Beach to watch the Victoria''s Secret catwalk together, just to meet the art film workers from all over the world. What outstanding works have been prepared for this Cannes Film Festival?


    And Harvey Weinstein, when this big fat guy called some time ago, he also said that he would participate in the Cannes Film Festival. His purpose was to buy those movies with a small cost.


    By the way, why don''t you do some actions in private to let "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" take the Palme d''Or?


    In any case, this is a film that I have invested in. The greater the income, the happier it is. But will it become the public enemy of European filmmakers?


    The pros and cons should be carefully considered.

 Chapter 436： Fanatical dream

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "26 million US dollars!"


    With the emergence of this price, Victoria''s Secret launched this year''s sky-high price underwear "Fanatical Dream" has a new owner, and the atmosphere on the beach in Cannes has reached its peak today.


    Before the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, the most eye-catching thing was not any film that started screening in advance, nor any star who arrived in Cannes, but the Victoria¡¯s Secret Angels who were less than 100 meters away from the Palais des Festivals. On the beach, this catwalk was staged in the name of charity.


    "Why don''t they choose tomorrow? There must be more to watch like that."


    Ryan sat in the chair close to the front row and chatted quietly with Leonardo and Harvey Weinstein next to him, "If Victoria''s Secret is on the show at the opening of the film festival tomorrow, I don¡¯t know where the organizing committee is. What will happen."


    "Not everyone is as boring as you." The fat on Harvey Weinstein''s face was visibly shaking, "Don''t forget, Ryan, what you are now, you don''t qualify as a member of the film festival jury."


    "I''m even more curious about who bought that fanatical dream." Leonardo suddenly changed the subject, "I wanted to buy it for Giselle..."


    "For love, a daughter of Zheng, Leon, you are so generous." Ryan patted his shoulder, while Harvey Weinstein on the other side lowered his voice and joked, "How can Leon compare to you, Ryan... "


    After making a clear look at Ryan, he continued, "Lanai, which is the sixth largest island in the Hawaiian Islands, was bought by you."


    In fact, Ryan knows too. The old friends I made in the early years have seen some of the relationship between him and Nicole. Although they would never say it explicitly, these guys would still joke vaguely if they seized the opportunity.


    As for Lanai, facing the negotiating group composed of four women, Nicole Kidman, Judy Foster, Cate Blanchett and Antonia Kidman, is dealing with Larry, who is dealing with the stock market crash. Ellison, made a very wise choice to retreat, after all, Ryan is not his old rival Bill Gates, there is no need for a bayonet to see the red. Stabilizing Oracle''s stock price is his most urgent task.


    "Then we will have a good place to take a vacation in the future." Leonardo had already figured it out. "After the filming of "Gladiator", can I borrow your new yacht? Depart from Los Angeles and sail all the way to Lanai. , It is indeed a good choice."


    "You can also gather some more angels and have a swimsuit party on it." Harvey Weinstein looked at the long-legged beauties who were thanking the surroundings on the runway. "Leon, remember to count me."


    "Two, I want to remind you."


    Ryan couldn''t help but look at the two people who have a more common language in this regard, "The pier on Lanai will be expanded soon, otherwise it will not be able to accommodate large ships."


    This island is not just as simple as buying it, after Ryan contacted Nicole. A professional team has been found, ready to update the facilities on the island.


    "Ryan, it doesn''t seem to have anything to do with a swimsuit party?" Leonardo pointed to a model on the stage who was close to six feet tall. "I see, that model is from Brazil like Giselle. It is said to have been well received. Education..."


    "Come on, Leon." Harvey Weinstein interrupted him. "If Ryan really wants to attend our party, believe me, he will die terribly!"


    What kind of character is Nicole Kidman? How could these old friends be unclear.


    "Okay, okay." Ryan really didn''t want to continue lingering with these two people, and said immediately, "Whether it is Lanai or a yacht, if you want to use it, just say hello to George in advance."


    He pretended to be a serious reminder, "Remember, the maintenance fee is yours!"


    After the charity auction is over, it is a routine donation activity. There is no mandatory requirement. If you don¡¯t donate, no one will intervene. But Victoria¡¯s Secret invites all the rich and celebrities. These people are all ¡°enthusiastic¡± charities. People.


    The Ryan three are no exception. They have experienced too many such occasions in Hollywood. After each one left a six-figure check, they were ready to leave.


    "It''s a pity that it''s a fanatical dream." Leonardo also took a pity. In the previous bid, after more than 15 million U.S. dollars, he chose to take the initiative to withdraw.


    "If you can meet fewer blonde and long-legged models, I think Giselle will be happier." Ryan shook his head, took his shoulders, strode towards the hotel, and there was a celebration behind. The reception is.


    Leonardo shrugged and made a gesture that you understand.


    After all, this is someone else''s private matter, and Ryan didn''t bother to say anything, and talked to Harvey Weinstein about the movie as he walked.


    "Harvey, it''s been almost a week since you came, do you have any works you like?"


    "Not yet." The big fat man shook his head, noticed several Chinese faces in front of him, pointed and said, "Ryan, I have watched the preview of Jenkins Pictures, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has Potential for big sales."


    "Harvey, what''s your relationship with the film festival organizing committee?" Ryan said in a voice that only the three of them could hear. "If the film can get Palme d''Or, I think it will definitely help the box office... "


    "Ryan." Harvey Weinstein reminded very seriously, "This is France, not our territory."


    "Well, it depends on the situation." Ryan smiled indifferently.


    There are also many inside stories of the three major European film festivals. The meaning of dividing the cake is more obvious than that of the Oscars, just to see who can get the most delicious piece. Films with all-Chinese actors like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" want to sell well. , Must work **** publicity, Palme d¡¯Or is undoubtedly a good boo.


    The collective appearance of so many celebrities and celebrities will definitely attract a large number of reporters. Before entering the hotel, Ryan was stopped by reporters from French media such as Le Figaro.


    "Mr. Jenkins, how do you feel about being a judge of the festival?"


    "It''s an honor. This is both an honor and a responsibility." Ryan''s answer was completely formulaic.


    "You have been in touch with Luc Besson, will you still cooperate?" another reporter asked.


    "Mr. Besson is a very good director. If you have the opportunity, you will definitely." Ryan motioned to George and was about to leave. The "Le Figaro" reporter suddenly asked another question. " Mr. Jenkins, a well-known "¡¡" person revealed that the original plan of director Roman Polanski was to bring "The Pianist" to participate in the competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, but your film company insisted on letting the film premiere in North America. Is it true that the relationship with the director of Polanski broke down? Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a pity to miss the Cannes Film Festival for such an excellent work?"


    "This is totally nonsense." Ryan still kept a smile, speaking pure clich¨¦s. "The cooperation between Jenkins Pictures and Director Polanski is very pleasant. "The Pianist" can get the Oscar for Best Picture. It is precisely because of the great efforts of director Polanski."


    "Ryan..."


    Despite another problem, Ryan ignored it and walked into the hotel under the protection of bodyguards.


    Leonardo and Harvey Weinstein waited in the lobby of the hotel. After seeing him, Leonardo led the way, and the fat man walked a few steps closer and said, "Roman Polanski is in the eyes of the French media. , That¡¯s a better director than James Cameron and Steven Spielberg."


    "So, I have been praising him." Ryan smiled slightly.


    No matter what the French and Poles think, Roman Polanski''s status in his mind is not even comparable to Michael Bay.


    Ryan''s criteria for measuring directors is very simple. A director who cannot make money for himself is definitely not a good director.


    In the largest banquet hall of the hotel, the magnificent decoration, Victoria''s Secret high-level and angels, shuttled around in the crowd, with their natural advantages, showing superb communication skills.


    After the Victoria''s Secret executives came to say hello, Ryan and the three separated. Most of the people who appeared in this banquet hall were from Europe, and there were some guests attending the Cannes Film Festival from all over the world. In Ryan¡¯s eyes, All strangers.


    But he is different. In terms of fame alone, no one in the entire banquet hall can match.


    As a result, one person after another naturally came to say hello. Facing those awkward accents, Ryan really scratched his head and could only respond with a polite smile.


    Perhaps among these people, there are famous directors and actors from a certain country and region.


    Despite this speculation, Ryan still maintained a polite manner, because he didn''t need them and friendships were optional.


    Victoria''s Secret has developed rapidly over the years. Even many film crews who did not participate in the afternoon beach show were invited by them to participate in this celebration cocktail.


    "Hello, Mr. Wang." Facing the guy with sunglasses introduced by Harvey Weinstein, Ryan nodded politely.


    Regardless of movies or people, he doesn''t catch a cold to each other.


    After the two briefly said a few words, UU reading found that there was a huge difference in the cognitive aspect of the film. This guy with sunglasses as a sign quickly left.


    Ryan just came to cheer on Leonardo''s face. After checking the time, he was ready to leave. Unexpectedly, Ang Lee brought the crew of "Crouching Dragon, Hidden Dragon" to find him.


    "It''s been a long time, Li."


    After shaking his hand, Ryan said with a smile, "I heard Julius say that the film was made very well."


    "That''s because of your financial support." Li An is very good at being a human being.


    "Don''t tell me?" Ryan looked at the actor.


    "This is Mr. Zhou, this is Mr. Zhang, this is Ms. Yang, this is Ms. Zheng." Li An cooperated and introduced them one by one, "This is..."


    "Hello, Ryan." Before Ang Lee''s words were finished, the other party hurriedly stepped forward and introduced himself, "My last name is Zhang..."

 Chapter 437： Real hot

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please recommend the promotion to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum post it! After leaving the hotel, Ryan walked slowly towards the hotel where he was staying along Binhai Avenue, and the reporter seemed to sniff The **** flies came around in an instant, but these people still obeyed those unwritten tacit understandings, they just took pictures on the periphery through the bodyguards, and did not come to disturb his cleanliness. One second to remember "" the hottest novel update is the fastest


    "Ryan! Ryan!"


    There was clearly Beijing-like English coming from behind. Ryan turned his head and saw the black-haired girl in an evening dress chasing after him, frowning and asking, "Sister Zhang, is there something going on?"


    "I¡­¡­"


    She had stopped in front of Ryan, but at this moment she couldn''t help taking a step forward, and asked in the click of a camera, "Can I invite you to dinner?"


    "Thank you!" Ryan tactfully rebuffed the excited reporters around him, "I have an appointment with director Luc Besson tonight."


    I don¡¯t know if the woman on the other side did not understand, or deliberately pretended to be confused, her eyes flickered, "Mr. Luc Besson? Is this the chairman of the jury?"


    "Sorry, Sister Zhang, I have a lot of work to deal with, and I will talk when I have time."


    Winning a wink at George, Ryan nodded at her, turned and walked away, and the gossip of the surrounding reporters'' eyes and hands was about to vanish, and he couldn''t help but let out a hiss.


    Ryan didn''t sacrifice himself to fulfill the savvy of others. The media reporters directly ignored it. As for the woman, the few words she had previously chatted with her in the hotel were nothing but Li Ang''s face, and he had no interest in her.


    The Cannes Film Festival is scheduled to be held in mid-May every year for about twelve days. It usually opens on Wednesday and closes on the following Sunday, except for film competitions. The market exhibition is also going on at the same time.


    In his previous life, because of his work, Ryan paid very little attention to European films and film festivals. He aimed at frontline film audiences, and he also knew what kind of movies most audiences liked. In 2015, I focused entirely on Hollywood, and I also had no interest in half-dead European films.


    but. Now that you have become a judge, you must perform your duties and obligations, at least once again to participate in the competition unit of the film.


    On Wednesday afternoon, Ryan walked on the red carpet in Cannes with the other judges.


    In addition to Luc Besson, he also met an acquaintance, the famous Hollywood director Jonathan Demi, although he came from "Silent Lambs" and "Philadelphia Story." The level of work has plummeted, but the title of Best Director of Oscar is still a famous golden sign.


    Under the spacious steps of the Palais des Festivals, Ryan and other judges stood in a row, and reporters were taking pictures.


    Unlike Oscars, the red carpet here is more open. People walking on the red carpet often make inexplicable actions. For example, Ryan remembers that Nicole used to smoke openly on the red carpet in his previous life...


    The biggest surprise today came from outside the red carpet, on the beach tens of feet away from the Palais des Festivals, a female star from Japan. Since the beginning of the red carpet, I have been shooting a photo shoot. It has attracted the eyes of a large number of reporters and movie fans, which is also a good way to hype.


    Looking up at the huge poster hanging on the Festival Palace, Ryan walked into the Festival Palace along with the other five judges.


    He didn''t have any impression of the opening film in the previous life, but after the posters hung outside, he didn''t have the slightest interest in the opening film.


    The opening film is called "Dancer in the Dark". Although Ryan has never had it in his previous life, Ryan has heard of this film and only hopes that the next two will not be too difficult.


    "Luc, if you have time, I still suggest you go to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in person."


    After entering the screening hall, Ryan quickly found his seat. Next to him was Luc Besson. He immediately started public relations, "I promise I won''t let you down."


    Investors who do not consider movie profitability are definitely not qualified investors. Ryan''s current behavior reflects this.


    "Ryan, this is not Oscar." Luc Besson''s voice is the same as him. Only two people can listen. "The quality of the movie determines the final award..."


    "Well, Luc." Ryan patted the fat man''s arm lightly and closed his mouth.


    He is not just a newcomer, he knows some things as long as he clicks. Besides, except for Luc Besson, Jonathan Demi will naturally favor him. According to Harvey Weinstein last night, he had dinner with him. Up.


    Ryan still pays attention to this point. Weinstein Pictures did not exhibit any films, and even if they were filmed by reporters, it was not a big deal.


    Moreover, the films participating in the competition unit are actually doing corresponding public relations, and only fools will believe that the only factor that determines the final award is the film.


    Suddenly, enthusiastic applause rang out, and everyone in accordance with the tradition of the Cannes Film Festival stood up and applauded the last member of the crew who came in.


    Looking at the proud Danish director, Ryan shook his head. Although he didn''t like his style, the other party had no conflict of interest with him, so he didn''t like to ignore it.


    When the theater was quiet, the opening film "Dancer in the Dark" kicked off.


    At the beginning, Ryan still had a taste, but then...


    It sounds better. This movie reflects the darkness and cruelty of the real world, but in fact, the whole movie treats human society with idiots, brain damage and cowardly eyes, full of boring fantasy and neuroticism.


    If the world of this movie reflects the cruelty of life and the truth of the world as its director advocates, then the global village can be renamed a lunatic asylum. To use some words from Ryan''s previous life, this movie is pretending to be compelling.


    The Danish director of the film told everyone through the screen conclusively that the world in my eyes is the real world. It is full of deception, blackmail, theft and jealousy. The whole human nature is dark, so quickly despair of society. Pain for pain, despair for despair, if you stab yourself to death or stabbed to death, that would be great.


    The director, who publicly clamored that he was God in reality, completely removed this view from the movie.


    It''s the movie shot again. The shaky shot is too unfriendly to the audience. If you ask ordinary audiences what the first impression of the movie is after the film, many people will probably answer-nausea!


    After the second half of the film, Ryan simply closed his eyelids. He really didn''t want to continue torturing his eyes. If he didn''t like it, ignore it. People who are not allowed to like it will take this film to the sky.


    If this kind of movie can get Palme d''Or, only European movies will be completely hopeless.


    Isn''t it possible that the next movie will be of this kind?


    Thinking about this, Ryan''s mouth couldn''t stop shaking. If the remaining participating films were as hypocritical as "Dancer in the Dark", he would rather run back to Los Angeles and face Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron. With Natalie Portman''s Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I don''t want to continue to suffer this kind of torture.


    What is the greatest pain in this world? If Ryan is allowed to answer now, it is definitely not how to face three women in the future, but watching a nauseous movie.


    If "The Pianist" only made Ryan feel a little long, then these two hours seem to have passed as long as a century. After the movie subtitles were released, he finally breathed out, as the others became weak. ''S clapped his palms.


    "Congratulations."


    Shaking hands with the director, Ryan walked towards the outside of the theater with a casual polite.


    As for the sentence of congratulations, of course, it is sincere. Congratulations for making a movie that can drive most of the audience out of the theater.


    Cannes is now full of paparazzi and reporters. As the oldest and oldest member of the jury, Ryan naturally received great attention. He had just walked down the steps of the Palais des Festivals and was surrounded by a group of reporters.


    "Ryan, how do you feel after the opening film?"


    "Keeping the same style of film directed by Lars von Trier." Ryan said ambiguously.


    As for what Lars von Trier¡¯s style is, sorry, he doesn¡¯t know at all.


    "Then do you think this film is eligible for Palme d''Or?" The reporter who questioned was obviously from Denmark.


    "You knew about the day the award was given."


    Although he doesn''t like it very much, Ryan also knows that everyone has different standards for measuring movies, and he will not criticize him stupidly.


    Furthermore, with his status and status in Hollywood, there is absolutely no need to comment on an ordinary European director.


    In the next few days, Ryan began to shuttle between theaters to watch the films participating in the competition. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not even participate in the premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".


    Of course, the public relations work has not relaxed. Harvey Weinstein is also walking among the judges while looking for the right film.


    But This is France after all, so it''s hard to get the effect.


    In just one week, Ryan watched more than a dozen films including "Everything Is For You", "In the Mood for Love", "The Devil Is Coming", and "The Fate of Emotions", and gradually found himself a target for voting.


    "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is closely related to his interests. Ryan will still vote for it afterwards, and it will attract media comments. Moreover, the film strips off the oriental coat and shows completely Western values. This can be seen in the comments received by the media after the premiere of the film.


    Besides, European media and filmmakers, who cares about them!


    Although European mainstream entertainment media are hyping "Dancer in the Dark", which is the biggest hit of Palme d¡¯Or, Lars von Trier¡¯s cocktail parties are also being held one after another, but in fact, Jonathan? With the support of Demi and the almost certain Luc Besson, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which has been quiet, is the real hot spot. Dingtianju dtxsj your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users, please read the first an.

 Chapter 438： Want to be famous and crazy

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! Just in the hustle and bustle, the current Cannes Film Festival is gradually coming to an end, but the festival is now, the biggest The winner is not any movie or any film company, but Victoria''s Secret.


    During the Cannes Film Festival, this underwear manufacturer interspersed with several catwalks and charity parties. In total, it raised up to 3.5 billion U.S. dollars for an AIDS organization and earned countless eyeballs.


    The influence of the Victoria¡¯s Secret angels has also completely spread to Europe. When the final awards ceremony was held, more than a dozen supermodels from Victoria¡¯s Secret were invited by the organizing committee and walked as special guests. On the Cannes red carpet that countless people desire.


    Beautiful women, especially those who are **** enough, will be the focus no matter where they go. Even during the awards ceremony, some people will look at the supermodels sitting in the front row from time to time.


    Before going on the red carpet, Ryan had already seen those Victoria''s Secret angels. In all fairness, their beauty and **** even surpassed most of the Hollywood female stars.


    Maybe it''s time to find someone to talk to Victoria''s Secret about cooperation.


    Sitting in the front row, Ryan didn''t care about the awards that he had never heard of before, but instead considered other things.


    Popcorn movies need a female vase to show off their figure and increase the appeal of the movie. This is a consensus in the Hollywood industry. The most indispensable thing about Victoria¡¯s Secret is beautiful and **** female vases, and they have undergone strict body shaping. As well as good training, the lens feel is generally good, and I also know how to seduce people and bring out their greatest charm.


    If you want to become a qualified vase, that also requires conditions.


    Commercial films must be operated with sufficient commercial means. Ryan came to a rough conclusion in an instant. After returning, let the professionals of Jenkins Pictures try to get in touch with Victoria''s Secret.


    This is obviously a win-win situation. Presumably they will not refuse.


    "The best actress..." The voice on stage attracted Ryan''s attention, "Bjork "Dancer in the Dark"!"


    Great! Ryan clapped his hands, feeling better and better.


    Although it is a judge, Ryan can roughly guess their tendencies when exchanging opinions with several others, but the final result of the vote count may not even be known to the chairman of the jury committee, Luc Besson.


    However, even if it has been reforming, the Cannes Film Festival cannot change the essence of dividing the cake. The Palme d¡¯Or is now the number one hot spot in the media. I have already taken a heavy piece of cake. Will the most delicious piece be given to them?


    In 1998, "Saving Private Ryan" returned to North America with the honor of Palme d¡¯Or, and then the box office surpassed the previous life by a lot. Although there is no lack of his own appeal, Palme d¡¯Or has also played a certain role. effect.


    The investment in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not high. Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a small-cost movie. Ryan''s requirements are also not high, and it is enough to get a box office of 100 million tens of millions of dollars in North America.


    During the next awards, Ryan heard a series of familiar names.


    Yang Dechang won the Jury''s Best Director Award for "Yi Yi". The actor of this year gave the actor Tow Wai Leung from Hong Kong, and the jury award fell on the destined to be unlucky Jiang Wen¡¯s "The Devil Is Coming". According to Ryan¡¯s speculation, this film looks crooked on the other side of the Pacific. Movie. It will definitely be banned.


    As for Jiang Wenren, he will also usher in the darkest period from the shadows.


    When Leonardo stepped onto the stage as a special guest. This year''s Cannes Film Festival ushered in the last suspense. Who will get the Palme d''Or?


    Ryan looked back at the location of the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the tension on Li Ang''s face is clearly visible, although with the orthodox American education and years of unremitting efforts, he has gradually been recognized by Hollywood. Gradually integrated into the mainstream culture of the United States, but has not won a heavyweight individual award.


    Perhaps in the eyes of many Hollywood celebrities represented by Ryan, Palme d¡¯Or is far less than the best director, Golden Man, but with the opportunity to touch such a heavyweight award, who would be willing to let it go?


    "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon..."


    When the final answer was announced, the audience was quiet for a few tenths of a second, and then there was warm applause.


    Those filmmakers and media from Europe frequently look at the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and they don''t understand why this movie can beat the biggest hit "Dancer in the Dark".


    This is not a victory for movies, but a victory for public relations.


    Ryan is sober. Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has this qualification, it is a European territory.


    The applause in the theater suddenly stopped, like an excited squeaking monkey, suddenly strangled to the point of its throat.


    Ryan can even see the obvious incredibleness from the expressions of the people around him and Li Ang on the stage.


    Obviously, there is an unexpected event that exceeds these people''s cognition of the normal award ceremony.


    What happened? Ryan followed their eyes and looked over, then the corners of his mouth trembled, and his heart said that he wanted to be famous and crazy!


    The young actress from across the Pacific Ocean, Miss Zhang, left her seat when Ang Lee stepped onto the podium, and couldn¡¯t wait to follow in the footsteps of the director and onto the same podium, making Leon, who was preparing to award the prize. Naduo was stunned for a moment.


    The award to be awarded is Palme d¡¯Or, which is directly awarded to the director. How can an actress come up here?


    Apart from self-promotion and hype and can''t wait to become famous, Ryan can''t think of other explanations.


    However, thinking of the overwhelming scandals and heroic affiliation of this previous life, Ryan was relieved. It is a good thing for actors to have ambitions, but they should be expressed at inappropriate times and occasions. , It will only arouse people''s disgust.


    The award presentation on the stage was obviously disrupted by her inexplicable action. After Ang Lee took the Palme d¡¯Or, he just said a few hastily, ¡°Thank you to the jury, thank you Mr. Wang Dulu,¡± and quickly stepped off the stage. .


    I just don¡¯t know that he chose the actress behind him to play Yu Jiaolong, do you regret it now?


    The 53rd Cannes Film Festival ended in such a dramatic and embarrassing atmosphere.


    "Congratulations, Li." Ryan found Li Ang at the end of the game.


    "No, no, no." Ang Lee has been in Hollywood for many years and is also a smart man. How can he not understand the tricks, "I should thank you, Ryan, you gave me this opportunity."


    "If you really want to thank me..." Ryan was also polite and said in a joke, "Just think of a way in the promotion to make our movies sell well."


    The people around suddenly laughed.


    "That''s it for the time being, I''ll go back to the hotel first."


    Ryan patted Ang Lee''s arm. Just about to leave, she saw that Miss Zhang seemed to be about to move around again, winking at George, and Mr. Bodyguard immediately isolated her from the outside.


    "Mr. Jenkins..." Despite hearing the voice coming from behind, Ryan left the Festival Palace without looking back.


    The crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" naturally became the focus of media attention. After dealing with the organizers'' series of activities, when he returned to the hotel, Ang Lee specially chose to travel with the heroine by car.


    "Miss Zhang, the matter of awarding the awards is negligible." Looking at the actress who was finalized in person, Ang Lee''s words were not polite at all. "When facing Ryan Jenkins, you''d better keep your mind down. He is more than just a man. The movie star is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. If you really offend him, you won''t even want to enter Hollywood in your life."


    "Didn''t he just invest in this movie? At best, he is a rich star..."


    The faint muttering sound reached Ang Lee¡¯s ears, and he solemnly said again, ¡°Yes, Ryan is a rich star, but money is also divided into levels and levels. Jenkins Pictures is his company. He is a member of the board of Paramount Pictures, and his net worth is at least 5 billion US dollars. He is the top group of people in Hollywood!"


    "In short, don''t arouse his disgust, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble."


    Ang Li sighed. If the other party was not the actor he personally selected, how could there be so much long-winded...


    Although the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will hold a thank-you reception, Ryan is not interested in participating. The few remaining shots of "Gladiator" are still waiting for him. The day after the awards ceremony, he took his own plane. Returned to London.


    The media''s discussion about the attribution of the final awards at the Cannes Film Festival has just begun.


    Most European media have complained about "Dancer in the Dark" one after another. As the chairman of the jury, Luc Besson also felt some pressure, but he was used to criticism by European media and didn''t care much.


    Besides During the film festival, representatives of his montage factory and Jenkins Pictures have reached a next cooperation agreement, and the two parties will jointly produce a series of films.


    During the film festival, Ryan wrote the setting of "Very Human Trafficker" and sent it to the writers far away in Burbank for them to further complete.


    This is of course not a transaction. Neither Ryan nor Luc Besson will admit this, nor will they announce cooperation in a short time...


    As for media criticism, after the annual Oscars, the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences will become the target of public opinion, but until now, all members are not safe.


    The only difference is that when the director Ras von Trier from Denmark was interviewed, he openly criticized his movie, believing that "Dancer in the Dark" far surpassed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". More qualified to get Palme d¡¯Or.


    Regarding these, Ryan throws aside all of them, as long as the other party''s remarks are out of bounds, where does he have time to ignore such a small person.

 Chapter 439： Make a call

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group"


    Sitting in a secluded corner, Tyler pulled a strand of curly hair, and was talking about the students at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who were dining in the restaurant, "Ryan, the idiot Christine, is better than Daniel. "


    "Oh, God bless you, you are willing to talk to me." Ryan deliberately exaggerated. "My dear, it''s been a long few days."


    "Whoever asked you to go to such a fun place in Cannes would not take me." Tyler wrinkled his nose and made a grimace at this side, "If there is another time, I will definitely not talk to you for a week."


    "Then why did you call George so early to call me over?" Ryan knew that Tyler just wanted to use this method to show his importance, and he didn''t care. "It''s not about listening to you comment on their acting skills, right? ."


    "Didn''t the Gladiator have your role in the afternoon?" The disbanded actor, Taylor jumped off his chair, "I want you to come and pick us up to Northampton."


    "We?" Ryan asked strangely.


    "Uh-huh" Taylor nodded and pointed to the jack-of-all-trades sister who was walking towards the dressing room. "There is no Emma scene in the afternoon. The two of us have made an appointment to go to Northampton Tiger."


    "My dear, you are really well informed."


    In the movie about Ryan, there was only one gladiator left, in which tigers were used. The crew contacted the circus and rented a few Siberian tigers.


    The two girls clearly planned all this. After Emma Watson greeted her mother, as Tyler got into Ryan¡¯s car, it didn¡¯t take long for him to come to Northampton¡¯s Gladiator. On location.


    "You two..."


    While sitting in front of the makeup mirror, Ryan solemnly instructed, "Alison, Charlotte, you must follow George and you are not allowed to approach the tigers."


    Although they are tamed tigers, only God knows when they will be animalistic.


    "You are so long-winded."


    Probably a familiar relationship, Emma Watson has a tendency to move closer to Taylor, "The two of us are not tricky kids, don''t worry."


    You two don''t like to be naughty? Ryan rolled his eyes helplessly. Fortunately, the two girls usually like to mess around, but they are extremely serious about business, and they know what to do and what not to do, just let the bodyguards keep an eye on it.


    Ryan¡¯s opponent in the next scene will be Nicholas Powell, the special-appointed gladiatorial coach of the crew, who will wear a fully enclosed helmet to fight Ryan.


    In addition, it was the tiger actor who was hired, but both of them don''t have to worry. They will use several cameras to shoot in multiple directions. The closest distance between them and the tiger is also fifteen feet away.


    The scene of Maximus fighting the tiger does not require Ryan to go to battle. Naturally, stunt actors and post-production special effects are used to complete it.


    "Maximos! Maximus! Maximus..."


    More than 2,000 extras on the stage made a huge noise. Ryan carried a shield and sword and entered the arena from the passage. He came to the opponent who was obviously one size bigger than him, and grabbed a bunch of them again. dust¡­¡­


    Subsequently, the sound of the impact of the sword and the axe continued to sound. The two were not fast. They followed the pre-set routine, and the fighting was all short shots. Every ten or twenty seconds, the action director would call to stop. Ryan and Nicholas Powell''s performance just now, make appropriate adjustments.


    "It turns out that they are so far away from the tiger. I still want Ryan to fight the tiger."


    The two girls sat not far away and muttered, Taylor seemed to find it very boring, "This fight is too fake, it''s not good at all."


    "I listened to the director of Columbus." Emma Watson took a sip of the juice and raised her head. "All shots involving action fighting must be based on safety first. We filmed "Harry Potter and the Magic". In Stone, a lot of puppets were used as substitutes."


    "Uh, uh, uh...safety first." Taylor nodded in agreement. She was just joking boringly just now.


    Although only a little over ten years old, this smart girl still understands the importance of safety. She doesn''t want one of her favorites to face any danger.


    When shooting such intense fighting scenes, injuries are inevitable. In fact, many stunt actors have been injured since the crew was turned on. Ryan himself paid great attention to this. Except for a few scratches, he did not encounter too many. accident.


    In this fighting scene, yesterday afternoon, he had practiced with Nicholas Powell several times. Although he sometimes did some fine-tuning, it did not bring much influence.


    Because Ridley Scott intends to use short shots and quick switching performance techniques, a lot of fighting shots need to be shot here. The scenes that are not one page in the script have been shot at sunset before they gradually come to an end.


    In reality, Nicholas Powell, who was able to beat Ryan to the ground, also lost several times and lay on the ground as a lamb to be slaughtered...


    "Let''s shoot another spare fight scene, and we can call it a day."


    After a few words to Ryan and Nicholas Powell, the action director returned to the back of the camera and shouted, "Today''s last scene, be careful!"


    Ryan nodded. This is his last part in the movie. If Ridley Scott does not plan to temporarily increase the part, he can leave the crew tomorrow.


    After Nicholas Powell pulled off the helmet, Ryan was ready to attack, and the assistant director shouted, "The 147th scene, the 56th scene, now begins!"


    The crisp metal collision sounded again in the arena. Ryan adopted the tactics of close-to-body fighting, and in accordance with the pre-designed routine, after blocking the axe cut by Nicholas Powell with a sword block, his wrist turned and he wrung it off with a sword. The axe flew up and kicked his right foot on the opponent''s leg.


    Nicholas Powell¡¯s body was tilted and he was about to fall to the ground. It was probably the gravel on the ground that made his footing slippery. The huge body of more than two hundred pounds clung to Ryan and fell to the ground. The ground.


    After all, he is not a professional fighter. Ryan was not prepared to dodge at all. He just took a step back subconsciously to avoid the opponent hitting his body, but he did not have time to withdraw his left foot, but was hit by Nicholas Powell''s back. , Smashed hard and drove him to fall to the ground.


    "God, Nicholas, you are so heavy!"


    At the beginning, Ryan didn''t feel anything, and even joked with Nicholas Powell, "A tiger can be smashed by you..."


    Before he finished speaking, he felt a piercing pain in his left foot, even worse than the time the Lord of the Rings was injured, his face immediately became pale, and his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.


    "Hey, you two hurry up." The staff had rushed over and was about to lift them up. Ryan waved his hand to stop him, resisting the pain and shouted, "Doctor! I hurt my left foot!"


    Nicholas Powell, who was a professional fighter, turned over and sat up, with a cold sweat on Ryan''s forehead, knowing that it is not time to be sorry, and shouted in a louder voice, "Hurry up! Let the doctor come over!"


    Gritting his teeth hard, Ryan could only secretly sigh unlucky. His scene was about to end, but he was injured again. Shouldn''t he be shooting an action scene?


    When the crew of the crew examined Ryan, the two girls followed George and ran over in a hurry. Taylor''s face was full of anxiety, and his big royal blue eyes were watery, and they seemed to cry at any time.


    "Ryan! Ryan! Tell me you are okay! Tell me!"


    With a cold sweat on Ryan''s head, this blonde girl who has never believed in God very much couldn''t help but drew a cross on her chest, "God, please bless him..."


    Then, two tears flowed down his cheeks.


    "Honey...I''m fine!" Ryan showed a smile that was harder than crying, and hurriedly colored George.


    "Taylor, the doctor is examining Ryan, let''s go first."


    Listening to Mr. Bodyguard''s words, the girl nodded very obediently, and took the same worried Emma Watson away.


    After a while, Ryan was lying on a bed in a private hospital in Northampton. Apart from pain and sighs, nothing came out at this time.


    This injury also awakened his distant memory. In his previous life, when Russell Crowe was filming this film, he had broken his foot and sprained his ankle, so he was relatively lucky.


    However, it is certain to lie down in bed for a while.


    "Blame you, scared me to cry."


    When only his own person was left in the ward, Taylor was hoarse, muttering and venting his dissatisfaction, "I haven''t cried like this in a long time, and the image is gone!"


    "Okay, Alison, it¡¯s just a sprained ankle, it¡¯s no big deal." Ryan knew that she regarded her as a sister, so why didn¡¯t she regard herself as her favorite brother, "You are a big girl." , Don¡¯t cry anymore.¡±


    "Ryan." George pushed the door and walked in The car is ready. "


    "Yeah" Ryan leaned on the hospital bed and said to the girl, "Honey, you should go back."


    "But I want to stay here with you." Taylor pursed his mouth in dissatisfaction.


    "George and they are all right." Ryan shook his head, reached out and rubbed her curls, "You can''t take care of me now."


    "Hmm, I''ll come to you tomorrow after class." The girl knew that she would only add to the confusion here, so she stood up and waved to George, "I''ll go out by myself."


    The car was parked in front of the ward. When Tyler was walking along the corridor near the medical desk with his bag slanting on his back, he just happened to be on the phone in a prominent place and stopped subconsciously.


    It seems...George hasn''t notified Nicole to them yet? Should I make a phone call?


    Wanting to do it, the girl pulled out the address book from her bag, and first looked for the numbers of Nicole, Scarlett and Natalie...rs

 Chapter 440： Rush to london

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! The sun turned to the west, and the sprinkling light dyed this beautiful private beach golden, the only standing sun Under the umbrella, Nicole Kidman took off the sunglasses that blocked the light, as if he had just woke up from sleep, and yawned lazily.


    The sea breeze blowing from the direction of Lanai Harbor not only brought a bit of coolness, but also some smell called busyness.


    The pair of pale blue eyes looked in the direction of the sea breeze. The port, which could only berth small boats, is busy expanding and rebuilding. It won¡¯t take long before she and Ryan¡¯s luxury yacht can be sailed directly. .


    Behind the port, several helicopter hangars and landing pads have been completed. If you need to take a plane to leave Hawaii, you can take a newly purchased helicopter from the island and fly directly to the international airport on Oahu. , Their private jet is there at any time.


    Life here is really comfortable. Since signing an agreement with David Murdoch and the Hawaii State Government, Nicole has stayed on Lanai Island. Although the departure of her sister and bestie, she is a little lonely, but occasionally Visiting the Pearl Harbor crew, whether it is Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg, or Kate Beckinsale and Lily Mo Sheen, they are all good chat partners.


    Nicole likes children very much, otherwise he would not have picked Ryan back from the Avenue of Stars, and later would not be so fond of Taylor Swift.


    That Miss Lily Mo Xin naturally became the biggest reason to attract her to the crew, between Kate Beckinsale and Kate Beckinsale. I gradually got acquainted with each other, even when I had a good chat a few days ago. He also agreed to be Lily''s godmother.


    Then, naturally I learned about Lily''s irresponsible father who didn''t want to give any promises.


    Thinking of the emotional experience Kate Beckinsale talked about a few days ago, Nicole suddenly felt the same.


    Even though the situation of the two is completely different, she has never been able to see the light, and she has been unable to walk on the red carpet with her beloved person in another identity, feeling depressed and depressed in her heart. Except for my sister, I can''t tell anyone...


    In the past few years, if you weren''t careful, and when she was out, she deliberately showed too much intimacy with several of her best friends, making the media have been suspecting of being gay, and maybe this relationship has been exposed.


    Actually, for a while. She really wanted the reporter to take pictures of the two kissing each other, even if it would attract a wave of criticism, what could it be?


    Ryan is not the Ryan of the past. How can she Nicole Kidman be the ordinary female star of the past?


    What kind of role money can play in this country of capital, Nicole naturally knows very well, if the previous public opinion can bring huge trouble to the two of them. What now?


    Who cares about them!


    Besides, there are not a few media who have interests entangled with them, and the positions of these people will definitely be affected by them.


    However, Nicole knew that the time had not come yet, and Ryan helped her realize her wish. Until his wish comes true, he should continue to bear it. It won¡¯t take long anyway.


    She doesn''t want much, a Ryan who loves her wholeheartedly as she did when she was a child, a promise to the future, and...


    In his light blue eyes, Taylor with sharp teeth and Lily with bubbles suddenly flashed past.


    The corner of Nicole''s mouth wore an unusually gentle smile. If possible, what should he or she be called in the future?


    Counting the time, Ryan¡¯s role in "Gladiator" is almost over. He should be returning to North America in the last few days. When talking on the phone at night, call him directly to Hawaii, so that he doesn¡¯t need to be with reporters in Los Angeles. Hide and hide, the two can enjoy the two-person world to their heart''s content.


    Lanai Island is indeed very beautiful. The sun, beaches, palm trees and pineapple gardens all look so charming. Most importantly, it is their private domain.


    Anyway, some old friends faintly guessed their relationship with Ryan. Why not invite James Cameron and others to hold a grand party here?


    It''s a bit more lively, the deserted island is not fun at all.


    "Miss Kidman!"


    Suddenly the voice of a personal assistant came from behind. This ordinary-looking woman passed the mobile phone and said, "Miss Swift''s call from London seems to be in a hurry!"


    Taylor? Nicole frowned, then nodded, and when the female assistant walked away, she put the phone in her ear.


    "Alison..."


    "Nicole!"


    The voice was slightly hoarse, and Nicole, who was very familiar with her, immediately guessed that the little girl should have just cried, and quickly asked, "My dear, what happened? Someone bullied you? Ryan is not in London. ..."


    "What?" After hearing the little girl''s words, Nicole immediately got up from the beach chair, her entire face covered with worry and anxiety, "Alison, when did this happen? Okay, for the time being. , You wait for me at the hotel, I''ll rush to London right away!"


    Hanging up the phone, Nicole walked to the villa on the beach anxiously, and at the same time he beckoned to the assistant, "Notify the helicopter and get ready to take off immediately. Also, notify the crew on Oahu to apply as quickly as possible. The route to London!"


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    At the same time, in the courtyard of a villa outside Cambridge, singing, laughter, and clinking glasses became a fusion. It was obvious that a party was being held here.


    "Nate, is this the little villa you are talking about?"


    Upon hearing the question from her companion, Natalie took a sip of Sydney wine and said, "It''s not that big in the first place."


    "Hey, Emily, I think you forgot, your roommate is a big star." A young man reminded loudly, "I went to the garage just now, and there was a custom-made Maserati parked there!"


    His words immediately aroused sympathy, and many people made noises of drinking and booing.


    After drinking the remaining Sydney wine in the glass, Natalie hurriedly left here. Although it was a party she had convened, it was definitely not a wise choice to hang out with a bunch of boys for a drink.


    When she walked to a quieter place, Natalie couldn''t help looking at Emily who was next to her, "I remember telling you beforehand, don''t bring strangers here."


    "Okay, Nat, don''t be angry." Emily explained with a smile, "This is my good friend, he is also in the art industry, I promise he will not mention anything at the party to people outside. "


    "I hope so." Natalie shook her head.


    "Are you worried..." Emily pointed to the villa, "Will the person who gave it to you be upset?"


    "He is not so stingy."


    Emily smiled slyly when she said that, "So you admit to having a boyfriend? Oh, my God, it looks like a young rich man! No, Nat, why I never saw Have him come to Harvard to see you? Does he not take you to heart?"


    Faced with this super gossip roommate, Natalie had to roll her eyes helplessly.


    "Nate, if he doesn''t take you to heart, then kick him." Emily is still talking, "Did you see Ben? He comes from romantic France, and he is engaged in elegance." Ballet art, you can definitely find a common topic, I just asked him, he is very interested in you..."


    "Shut up, Emily!" Natalie frowned, "I don''t need you to care about my love life."


    "Okay, okay, Nat." Emily stopped quickly, and finally couldn''t help but murmured, "He... is really worth waiting for? Nat, I don¡¯t mean anything else, just I think he visits you too few times."


    "He is very busy." Natalie lowered her eyelids slightly to prevent him from coming over frequently, which was also her request.


    "How busy can you be?" Emily curled her lips in disdain, "Is it busier than you, a big movie star?"


    "Do you know who he is?" Natalie squashed her mouth and reminded, "Emily, you are about to graduate from Radcliffe College. You should not participate in gossip and think more about the future."


    "Oh, your bodyguard is here, Nat." Emily reminded, pointing in the direction of the villa.


    Natalie nodded and took the initiative to greet her. After answering the phone, she said few words, the whole person changed in Emily''s eyes.


    As a roommate, Emily thinks she has some understanding of Natalie. This girl from Long Island is a typical high-powered person, proud and full of self-confidence. Most of the time, she looks plain, as if There is no person or thing in the whole world that can make her emotions fluctuate too much.


    And now, Emily actually saw anxiety and anxiety on her face. After she hung up the phone, she almost yelled at the bodyguard, so loud that she could faintly hear it.


    "I want to go to London the fastest... Whether it''s renting a business jet or booking a plane ticket, I want to be the fastest!"


    To London? Fastest? Did something happen? Emily, who has always been gossip, whispered in her heart.


    At this moment, Natalie walked over anxiously and shouted to the laughing crowd I''m sorry, everyone, the party can only end here, I have very important things Need to be dealt with, so be it tonight. "


    "Hey, Natalie, can''t do this..."


    "We haven''t had much fun yet!"


    "Miss Natalie, now that the party is over, can you invite you to have a supper?" Someone who is not funny came up.


    The girl''s brows were tightly furrowed together, her face was as dark as a starless night sky, and she beckoned to the assistants and bodyguards behind her, and these people began to send off the guests politely.


    "Nate..." Emily walked up suspiciously.


    "Sorry, Emily." Although the roommate was gossiping, Natalie had a good relationship with her, and explained, "I want to get to London as quickly as possible."


    A few minutes later, the lively courtyard of the villa calmed down, and a blue Maserati drove out of the gate and rushed towards the Boston Airport.

 Chapter 441： What am i

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! At the time of filming, there were more than two thousand extras on the scene, and the news of Ryan''s injury inevitably spread. Starting from the early morning of the next day, more and more reporters gathered at the door of this private hospital, and Sky TV and TV One even drove over the live TV car.


    "Dear viewers, this is the live news program of Sky TV. When filming a fighting scene in "Gladiator" yesterday afternoon, Ryan injured his leg. According to people familiar with the matter, the situation was a bit bad at the time. Ryan was already unable to walk normally. Obviously The injury is serious, and I am receiving treatment at the hospital behind me. As for the injury, there is no clear news yet..."


    In addition to reporters from all walks of life, there are many fans who have heard the news one after another rushing over.


    Now it is an information society, and the speed of message transmission is very fast. More and more young men and women holding flowers are gathering towards Northampton.


    Under Ryan¡¯s instruction, the hospital quickly held a small press conference in front of the door, announcing that Ryan had only a sprained ankle and could recover in one to two weeks. I hope everyone will not worry or disturb the normal work of the hospital. order.


    Fans who got the exact news gradually dispersed after sending flowers and blessings. The reporters still gathered at the entrance of the hospital, harassing every staff member who came in and out, hoping to get some exclusive news.


    The injured person is Ryan Jenkins, this news is enough to make a sensation in the entire Western world, and he has a large group of celebrity friends, presumably those people will come to visit?


    The facts did not disappoint them. Leonardo DiCaprio, Chris Columbus and others entered the hospital soon. Although they refused to interview them when they came out of the hospital, they were good at observing their faces. From the relatively relaxed expressions of the two of them, he still came to the conclusion that Ryan was not hurt as badly as the hospital claimed.


    "Look at it. Someone is coming again. This looks like a taxi in London?"


    Two taxis stopped at the entrance of the hospital one after another. These keen-sniffing guys surrounded them subconsciously, and then a thin girl appeared in the camera lens.


    "This is..." A reporter was stunned.


    "This is Natalie Portman, our Queen Amidala!" Someone immediately shouted excitedly.


    The girl who just got out of the car door immediately murdered the huge film. The reporter and the paparazzi scrambled to surround it, if not for a few bodyguards desperately to stop it. Maybe even a taxi can be swallowed by them.


    "Miss Portman, did you come here to visit Ryan?"


    "Natalie, are you coming from North America? Are you dating Ryan?"


    It is a pity that they were always greeted with a tight little face. The girl from Long Island, obviously not interested in answering questions, quickly disappeared at the door of the hospital under the **** of bodyguards.


    "It would be great if she could say something."


    "Is she dating Ryan on earth?"


    "You can go to Harvard and stare at her every day..."


    Just talking about the reporter. When the two taxis just left, a Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the hospital, and two women, one large and one small, got out of the car door.


    Seeing the woman''s slender figure and the iconic red, blonde hair, the reporters were like flies smelling blood. Furiously surrounded...


    "What a bunch of lunatics."


    After finally walking into the door of the hospital, Taylor complained to Nicole who was holding her hand, "Are all the entertainment reporters in the world look like this?"


    "My dear, you have to learn to adapt." Nicole''s face was anxious that could not be concealed. "Where is the ward?"


    "Ah, I''ll take you there." The little girl stuck out her tongue and pulled Nicole up to walk towards the ward building behind. At the same time, he said comfortingly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Nicole, I¡¯ve heard the doctor say that Ryan¡¯s foot is only sprained, and he will recover soon.¡±


    "Then you made your throat hoarse yesterday?" Nicole let out a long sigh. When she heard the girl''s hoarse voice yesterday, she was also frightened, "Alison, you scared me."


    "I''m just worried about Ryan, he just fell beside me like that, I...I think the sky is falling."


    Hearing the affectionate words of the little girl, Nicole rubbed her curly hair, "You are our favorite sister, Alison, don''t you worry about us?"


    "Yeah~"


    The little girl nodded **** the small curly head, and pushed open the door of the ward building.


    When borrowing the phone yesterday, she got acquainted with the people at the medical desk. At this time, she beckoned over there, and directly led Ni to Ryan''s ward.


    "Although this is the best private hospital in Northampton, the conditions are still terrible." Taylor began to complain habitually again, "There are no wards or even suites!"


    "If Ryan''s injury is okay, we''ll take him back to London." Nicole followed Tyler into a quiet corridor and asked anxiously, "Isn''t there yet?"


    "That''s it."


    Taylor walked to a ward, as if entering his own door, unceremoniously pushed open the door, took Nicole''s hand, and jumped in, "Ryan! Rui..."


    The little girl was stunned, and swallowed the last part of her words, pointing to the side of the hospital bed, "You...you..."


    Opposite Taylor, the four-petal lips of Ryan and Natalie who were hugging each other had just separated, and between the two red lips, there was still a thin silver water thread hanging.


    Western girls generally mature prematurely. Taylor is no stranger to this situation. He tilted his head and thought of a possibility-Ryan and Nat are dating!


    Humph! The two guys dare to hide it from me! I will definitely make you look good later!


    Taylor wrinkled his nose. She was not surprised. Isn''t it normal for her dear brother and Nat to come together?


    If Ryan is looking for a girlfriend, Nat is definitely the most suitable one!


    In fact, in private, she talked to the tomboy and the chubby girl many times, and they were happy to see the two come together.


    It''s just... just why do you always feel that something is wrong?


    The vague memories from childhood seemed to remind her that things shouldn¡¯t be like this, Ryan seemed...as if to tell her...


    The thoughts that flashed in this instant, before awakening her distant memory, Taylor was awakened by the pain from her hand, which was the hand held by Nicole!


    What happened?


    Since I can remember, Nicole is one of the people who love her most, and has never treated her like this.


    It wasn''t until this time that Taylor realized that there was a strange silence in the ward. The corner of Ryan''s mouth was trembling, Natalie pinched her fingers, not knowing what to say, and Nicole beside her...


    Nicole''s face was unusually ugly. She had become paler with a sickly pale face. The pair of eyes staring at Natalie were narrow and long. What was in it?


    Taylor couldn''t help thinking of every time after he bullied Stephanie Germanotta, the other person looked into her eyes, which contained enmity, anger and unwillingness!


    But why does Nicole think of Nat like this? Although their relationship is not very good, it is not too bad?


    "Nicole, you hurt Alison!"


    Tyler''s small faces wrinkled together caught Ryan''s attention, and he had no choice but to break the silence, "Sit down first..."


    Nicole ignored him. After letting go of that little hand, she rubbed the girl''s hair, "Sorry, dear."


    "It''s okay, Nicole, in the end..." Taylor looked at the three people with weird expressions, and closed his mouth obediently.


    "Nicole..." Before Ryan finished speaking, a pair of angry eyes came up, "Shut up, Ryan!"


    Then, the sullen Australian girl looked at Natalie whose lips were slightly red, and her cold voice seemed to come from the deepest part of the Antarctic, "Miss Portman, please go out first. I have something to do with Ryan. Talk alone."


    Natalie''s brows frowned. She has not been in contact with Nicole Kidman since 1997, and now she can''t help but lift her pointed chin when she hears the commanding words of the other party.


    Why does she order herself? This is neither her villa nor Jenkins Manor. Why is she? Do not! Even in Jenkins Manor, she has no right to do this!


    And... and she always feels that something is wrong, yet she has no time to think in such an environment.


    "What do you say?" Nicole looked at Ryan.


    Do they take themselves too seriously? Ryan frowned and increased his voice, "Nicole, Nat, you sit first..."


    Before he finished speaking, he saw the anger written on Nicole''s face, "Ryan, if you don''t want me to hate you, you better shut up now!"


    Looking at the unusually guilty Ryan, and then at Nicole Kidman, who was staring at her with jealousy, Natalie calmed down, this smart and proud girl, in just a few seconds. , Using the psychology knowledge learned for many years, analyzed a terrible conclusion.


    Her brown eyes turned to Ryan and after a light cough, she deliberately said, "I won''t go, I''m Ryan''s girlfriend, I want to stay here to take care of him!"


    "Is this true, Na..."


    Seeing three faces that had become even more ugly, Taylor hurriedly covered his mouth and hid in the sofa. Those royal blue eyes were shining with light that no one could detect.


    "Is she your girlfriend?" Nicole''s eyes turned from Natalie to Ryan, and her slender fingers slowly pointed to the tip of her nose, "Then...what am I?"


    "Tell me! Ryan Jenkins, what am I?" The resentment in the words made the little **** the sofa shrink her neck.


    She had never seen such an angry Nicole.


    Ryan slowly lowered his eyelids. He didn''t even know what he didn''t want to see, why did it happen like this? Is that old guy joking with himself?

 Chapter 442： Why are your legs constant

    Entering the small building of the hospital, Charlize Theron came to the medical desk and after inquiring about the location of the ward, he turned into the quiet corridor.


    She only arrived in London yesterday and came to participate in a business event for Dior. Originally, she wanted to give Ryan a surprise today, but she did not expect that he gave herself a surprise first. After learning about his injury from the media, Charlize Came to Northampton in no time.


    This is just a private hospital, and the small building is not too big. Charlize quickly found the ward, and she didn''t knock on the concealed door immediately.


    Taking off the sunglasses and the hood that covered the blond hair, Charlize took out a small makeup mirror from the bag, arranged a little messy blond hair in front of the mirror, and smiled with satisfaction.


    Anyway, his injury is not serious, Dior''s activities also ended yesterday, I have enough time to take care of him.


    Thinking like this, Charlize raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but a cold woman''s voice ran from the crack of the door.


    "Summer of ''97? Natalie, do you know when we were together? ''94!"


    She is very familiar with the voice. If she guessed correctly, it should come from Nicole Kidman, just the content of the words...


    Charlize put down his hand that was about to knock on the door, his ears pricked up.


    "Nicole, take away your resentful eyes!" Another flat female voice rang, like Natalie Portman, "Ryan, you were dating both of us at the same time, if not today, Are you planning to..."


    "Nate, Nicole, listen to me..."


    "To shut up!"


    Associate with both of them at the same time? Charlize was full of these words, and a fist was clenched tightly.


    The room was interrupted and words came out again, Nicole Kidman was cold and angry, and Natalie Portman was plainly sarcasm.


    The more I heard Charlize''s hand, the tighter he gripped, and his long golden eyebrows kept beating, as if he wanted to be rushed to the sky by anger.


    No wonder the relationship between Ryan and Nicole Kidman used to be strange. The truth turned out to be this way, how could he do this?


    What about yourself? What should I do?


    For a moment, Charlize wanted to rush in and question the man lying on the hospital bed loudly, but she was fundamentally different from the two women inside. She had seen European model circles and climbed from the bottom of Hollywood. Be more good at forbearance.


    Although the silver-white teeth were clenched tightly together, the long nails almost sank into the palm of his hand. Charlize still endured it, sometimes impulsiveness did not solve the problem.


    Not only is she not stupid, she is also a smart enough woman, knowing that rushing in at this time will not do any good to herself except for venting the momentary anger.


    From the words that came out, it could be heard that Natalie Portman and Nicole Kidman had turned their backs, and the relationship between the two women and Ryan seemed to be on the verge of rupture. Going in at this time, apart from adding a quarrel, will only push Ryan into the distance infinitely.


    Just let them quarrel, it will turn upside down. Healing a man''s broken heart is undoubtedly a good way to tie him around.


    Thinking of this, Charlize forced himself to calm down, what the big figures in Hollywood look like. She has never seen it with her own eyes and always heard of it.


    Actually, I am mentally prepared for all of this a long time ago, am I not?


    Maybe I want to dilute my inner resentment and jealousy. Or maybe thinking of Hollywood''s drunken fans, Charlize suddenly turned around and walked out of the small building without looking back.


    The people in the ward didn''t even know that someone came briefly and left quickly.


    "You don''t need to explain! That''s it, Ryan."


    Nicole Kidman was never a good-tempered person. She walked slowly to the bed and gritted her teeth and said, "You did a very good job!"


    Ryan also knew that the angry Nicole couldn''t hear anything, and simply closed her mouth.


    "The person I brought up, turned out to be a bastard!"


    The cold words were full of self-deprecating, Nicole opened the door of the ward, "Alison!"


    Looking at Ryan, the little girl drooped her head, walked slowly to Nicole, took up the slender hand, and as the door closed, the two figures disappeared completely.


    "Don''t you chase it out?"


    Natalie, who has always been plain, said something with indescribable sarcasm, "Maybe Nicole will be moved when she sees you chasing you out with injuries."


    "Nat, I know it''s too late to say sorry, but..."


    "Ryan." Natalie interrupted him with a wave of her hand, "We have been friends for more than ten years? I always think that I am the person who knows you best in the world. I didn''t expect you to be no different from other men in Hollywood... ¡­"


    The girl from Long Island calmly picked up the handbag and said without any emotion, "Goodbye, Ryan."


    On the surface, she was flat and calm, she didn''t seem to be hit at all, only the brown eyes that swept through Ryan''s injured leg, with resentment like Nicole Kidman.


    Out of the ward, Natalie''s calmness disappeared instantly, her lips pressed tightly, her face almost stretched, she couldn''t believe it, all this turned out to be true?


    That bastard! She wanted to rush back, drag him to the shore and throw him into the Atlantic Ocean to vent her anger.


    Coming with worry, but only sad and unwilling to leave when she left. This depressed mood always finds a place to vent. Natalie took out her mobile phone and dialed the phone of another friend who grew up with her.


    The ward fell silent from the previous noisy, Ryan leaned on the bed, thinking about what to do in the future? This is the biggest problem he faces.


    Why should I be injured? Why do they appear at the same time? Obviously, I have already thought about the Oscar next year, so I took the initiative to solve it, and now everything is messed up...


    Well, he admitted that in fact, he has never thought of a good solution, otherwise it will not be delayed until today.


    Nicole and Natalie are equally independent and proud, how can they tolerate others in their eyes? Ryan rubbed his forehead and saw Mr. Bodyguard sitting quietly in the corner, but like a transparent person.


    "George, am I a bastard?" The other person is one of the people he trusts most, just like his elder brother.


    "Yes." George nodded without hesitation.


    "God, you can''t comfort me." Ryan waved his hand vigorously, as if trying to drive away all the troubles.


    "False comfort does not solve the problem." Mr. Bodyguard is still cool. "Ryan, I shouldn''t have said some things, but..."


    He hesitated, but closed his mouth.


    "George, although we are in an employment relationship, you are actually more like my brother." Ryan shook his head, "There is nothing to say between us."


    "Nicole paid a lot for you." After a short sentence, George returned to his usual silence.


    George''s personal inclinations are very obvious. In fact, Ryan knows it too, if he asks for advice. All the people around will definitely stand on Nicole''s side.


    Don''t you give up Natalie?


    This thought only flashed in his mind and was thrown away by Ryan. How could this be possible!


    He took the mobile phone and dialed two numbers in turn, without accident, all refused to answer.


    An angry woman can''t listen to anything, although the experience of dealing with this situation is zero. But Ryan knew that running in front of them at this time would only cause more serious consequences.


    Let''s wait for them to calm down and talk to them individually.


    Even now. There is still a little fantasy in Ryan''s heart, after all, I have seen too many men in this life.


    Should I ask James Cameron for some experience?


    Ryan tried his best to think about the good, whether it was regret at this time. Still sad and sorrowful, it didn''t help anything at all.


    Besides, from the moment he kissed Natalie. I never regretted my choice, even if Nicole and Natalie wanted to let go, Ryan would not let go of his hand.


    Sitting on the hospital bed, Ryan thought quietly for a while, and said to the other side, "George, let people look at them."


    "I understand." Mr. Bodyguard nodded.


    For the time being, I can only do that. When I can walk, I can go back to North America and solve it.


    After a long sigh, Ryan looked through the window and looked towards the entrance of the hospital. In his opinion, Nicole and Natalie must have read the reporter''s report before they rushed to the UK and ran into each other... ¡­


    The little girl who triggered this incident is sitting on a Rolls Royce, constantly peeking at Nicole''s scary black face from the outside of her eyes.


    Poor Ryan, you can''t blame me for this!


    The little girl obviously knew that her phone calls had caused Ryan a lot of trouble.


    But I can¡¯t blame myself, he never said that he was dating Nicole and Nat at the same time...


    "Ni...Nicole...are you really going to break with Ryan?" Nicole''s words in the ward were full of anger, coldness and determination, leaving a shadow on the little girl.


    "Don''t you think he is a bastard?" Nicole probably felt her words startled her, and gently took Tyler into her arms. "My dear, the Ryan I love is gone."


    "But..." The sapphire blue eyes looked up secretlyTaylor said dumbfounded, "Monogamy is against human nature!"


    "Alison!"


    Nicole''s face was even more ugly, and she looked down at the little girl and asked, "Who taught you this? Ryan? What did this **** say to you? How could he say that! I''m going back Settle accounts with him!"


    "No...no..." Seeing Nicole gritted his teeth, Taylor quickly shook his head, "This is the little fat girl... well, it''s what Scarlett said during our chat."


    "My dear, this view is incorrect."


    After the little girl nodded seriously, Nicole kissed her forehead and closed her eyes.


    In a hotel in Northampton, Scarlett Johansson, wearing a black beret, a black Burberry gown and black Prada boots, found the agreed room like a nightcrawler, gently Knocking on the door. (To be continued...)


    ps: still three shifts

 Chapter 443： Separate things

    "Nate, what happened?"


    After entering the suite, Scarlett Johansson first saw Natalie''s slightly red and swollen eyes, apparently just crying, "Didn''t you go to see Ryan? Did he make you sad?"


    In her mind, Natalie is always full of self-confidence. After knowing her for so many years, she has never seen her cry.


    "I''ll go to the hospital in a while. If the **** Ryan did it, I will find him to settle the bill." She was able to come here with her assistant, and naturally she also received a call from Taylor Swift to visit the company. Good friends.


    "Nate, what happened?"


    Seeing that Natalie was just sitting quietly on the opposite sofa, without saying a word, Scarlett almost jumped over and asked.


    "I want to break up with Ryan."


    Although her face was full of resentment and sadness, Natalie''s words were still flat, "Actually, I have broken up now."


    "Why... why?" Scarlett showed an incredible look.


    Although Ryan and Nat were often quarrelsome when they were young, they grew up with deep feelings. She was very convinced of this, and she had beaten them side by side. No matter what, Nat was very satisfied with Ryan.


    "Did you know, Scarlett." Natalie pursed her lips and closed her eyes, her voice was as cold as from hell, without any emotions, "He has been dating other women since 1994! "


    "Even if you weren''t his first love, you wouldn''t break up?" Scarlett didn''t care much.


    "The problem is that they are still dating now!" Natalie clenched her teeth tightly. "What am I? Is the third party involved?"


    "Who is that woman?" Scarlett stood up abruptly and hammered her palm hard, "Tell me her name, Nat. I promise to beat her as ugly as a fat pig."


    "Nicole Kidman¡­¡­"


    "What...what?" Scarlett blinked. Subconsciously asked, "Who are you talking about, Nat?"


    "Nicole Kidman! They''ve been dating secretly since 1994, and they''ve been together now!"


    Hear what Natalie said. Scarlett Johansson opened her mouth wide in disbelief. "This... how is this possible... they... they are brothers and sisters."


    "They have no blood relationship, and there is no law in California that they cannot be together." Natalie leaned heavily on the back of the sofa. "Scar, I can''t believe that he would treat me this way for ten years. I always think he is the person who knows me best and treats me best in the world..."


    "God, this is a big news that can make a sensation all over the world." Another girl obviously thought of other places. "Ryan''s confidential work is so strict that even our friends don''t know..."


    "Scarlett!"


    Faced with Natalie''s tight face, Scarlett Johansson quickly raised her hand, "I''m just surprised. Nat, anyway, I''m on your side."


    Then, she used a voice that she could only hear. He murmured, "In Hollywood, it doesn''t seem to be a big deal for a powerful person to associate with several women at the same time."


    Although she was careless, she also knew that this kind of remark was not suitable to be said now.


    "You are willing to break up with Ryan like this and give Ryan to Nicole... Ah, no, it''s that Australian woman."


    Scarlett has known Natalie since she was still a young child, and she knows what the feelings of the past ten years mean to her, "Monogamy is against human nature."


    "Scarlett!" Natalie''s face was covered with black lines, and it was a big mistake to find this unreliable guy to talk to.


    "If you break up with Ryan, the women in Hollywood will probably celebrate."


    Seeing Natalie¡¯s face getting darker and darker, Scarlett followed Taylor¡¯s way and stuck out her tongue, "Okay, okay, I know you never made it public, and few people know about it in the world. ."


    "But are you really willing to break up like this?" She almost moved her face to Natalie.


    "I..." A trace of unwillingness flashed in Natalie''s eyes, but it was more resentment.


    "Let''s put it this way, Nat." Scarlett sat back, organizing the language, and said, "Do you know? Ryan has been protecting us, you, me, Taylor, Christine and even Nicole? Kidman, if it weren''t for him, could Taylor be the little princess loved by so many people? Can Christine and I play heavyweight roles in the film one after another? You..."


    In terms of cognition of Hollywood, Scarlett, who has a high-level film company and the mother of a producer, can throw Natalie a street away, "Nat, Ryan has protected you so well, you can''t see this at all. The dirty and dark side of the circle, if you leave Ryan..."


    "No matter who I leave, I am Natalie Portman." Natalie closed her eyes and gritted her teeth.


    "Well, Nat, you are older than me, and more mature and smarter than me." Scarlett sighed and said, "Before making a decision, you must think about it."


    "You mean to make me give in? It''s impossible!"


    Probably thinking of where Scarlett was going, Natalie''s eyes flashed and she whispered, "Unless he takes the initiative to apologize to me and promises to cut off contact with Nicole Kidman in the future! "


    She didn''t just come to Scarlett Johansson to talk about it, just like she and Ryan had been talking about a few years ago, there are some things that some people have to rely on.


    Of course, if he does not even agree to this, it means that the two have come to an end.


    The busy Heathrow Airport is crowded with people, and the flight to Los Angeles is welcoming the boarding guests. Charlize Theron is sitting in the first-class cabin, looking out the direction of Northampton through the window, passing all the way. Thinking of her, she has thrown away those extra emotions, as if she had never heard those words before, ready to return to Los Angeles.


    Although she didn¡¯t have many contacts, she heard that her agent and others in the circle mentioned the temperaments of Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman. These two proud and independent women are very It may ignite the fuse of a war and completely detonate the explosive barrels surrounding Ryan.


    Although Charlize was also very angry. On the way to London, she couldn''t help but want to turn back several times and had a big fight with the guy lying in the hospital bed, but she had gone through the dark and dirty modeling scene, and had also been in Hollywood. At the bottom, knowing that opportunity is often more important to a person than talent.


    Charlize is more realistic because of the same sentiment. She has always wanted to be the hostess of Jenkins Manor.


    You don''t need to do anything, just watch quietly, just choose the best time to take action, and the final winner will only be yourself!


    She would keep some accounts in her heart, and spend her whole life slowly settle accounts with that guy. Charlize Theron is not the kind of person who will endure forever if she is wronged.


    Temporary patience is only for future gains.


    The Oscar queen, the hostess of Jenkins Manor, Hollywood''s power and status, and Ryan Jenkins himself, all of which she wants to hold in her hands.


    The plane rushed into the sky, took Charlize Theron, and sent her ambition back to Los Angeles.


    Soon after, Natalie also came to this airport. Although many reporters surrounded her to take pictures, she was stopped by bodyguards. She was in a bad mood and ignored the clamors of those people. She was only assisting by the assistants. Next, all the formalities were handled calmly.


    Although Scarlett gave a vague talk, she didn''t want to stay in this strange country. First, she didn''t want to recall what had just happened. Second, she went back and forth to North America to calm down for a while, thinking about how to deal with this relationship in the future.


    Some things will not be known until the time they are faced. Smart, fantasy, and proud capital will not play a role.


    "I know what to do." Ryan looked at the girl who looked more and more like a previous life, "Thank you, Scarlett."


    "That''s it. I''m going back to Scotland to film." Scarlett stood up and said goodbye, and gestured with her hand to her ear. "Nate won''t answer your call? If you need to tell Nat, if you have something to do. My phone will be fine."


    "I will." Ryan nodded.


    Not long after Scarlett Johansson left, the little girl with blond curly hair walked in. She lost her arrogant, drooping head, like a **** that was defeated in a fight.


    "I''m here to apologize to you, Ryan." Tyler stood in front of the bed.


    "Apologize?" Ryan was surprised, "Why should I apologize?"


    "Nicole, Nat, and Scarlett will show up in Northampton because I called them." Her big sapphire eyes were filled with grievances, and they seemed to shed tears at any time, "I don''t Knowing that it will make things like this, I''m just worried about you."


    "It''s okay dear." Anyway, this is his beloved sister. Ryan leaned out his upper body and hugged her gently. "It has nothing to do with you, it''s my own self."


    "But Nicole is very angry." The little girl seemed to be frightened, and said hoarsely, "Going back to the Hilton Hotel room, she dropped her mobile phone..."


    "Where is Nicole now?" Tyler can come here, and Nicole must have left London.


    "She went back to Australia and said she wouldn''t take me with me. She said... She said she never wanted to see you again." Taylor secretly glanced at Ryan and saw that he was not angry, so she continued. , "She also said you are a liar..."


    "She asked you to say these things?"


    Hearing Ryan¡¯s question, Taylor nodded, ¡°Nicole also said you never go to her, otherwise she will definitely throw you under the Great Barrier Reef to feed the sharks.¡±


    After Ryan sighed, the little girl scratched her curly hair and asked, "Why can''t you live together peacefully?"


    "You will understand when you grow up." Ryan replied somewhat helplessly.

 Chapter 444： No need to make a choice

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "Just yesterday, Natalie Portman and Nicole Kidman appeared in Bei''an successively Puton, went to the hospital where Ryan was staying. They did not stay for too long. They just left the UK after a short visit. From this point of view, Ryan¡¯s injuries were not serious, and those who were worried about him can rest assured Now, it must not be long before a healthy Ryan will return to our field of vision."


    This unexpected incident instantly attracted the attention of the media from the two studios to this private medical institution in Northampton. In just two days, various news appeared in the media. The prominent position.


    However, the media¡¯s position is different, and the angle of observation is naturally different, and the comments published are even more different.


    "When Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman left the hospital, their faces were very ugly. They seemed to have just had a big quarrel with the people. According to insiders inside the hospital, they didn¡¯t use Ryan during filming. The practice of stunt doubles was so dissatisfied that fierce quarrels broke out, which might lead to the breakdown of their relationship..."


    This is fairly reliable news. After all, Nicole and Natalie did not look good when they left, but newspapers that received hints like The Sun began to blast the news about Gladiator. It seems that this The film will be released soon.


    "We learned from many extras that the reason why Ryan was injured was because there were scenes of fighting tigers in the filming. Ryan was accidentally injured by other stunt actors while avoiding tigers. The situation is unknown, but his professionalism is amazing!"


    There were not a few people who came to visit yesterday, especially in the afternoon and evening. These celebrities also received media attention. A few reporters guarding the back door captured a person who was ignored by others.


    "A reporter from this newspaper photographed Charlize Theron in disguise from the back door of the hospital, the actress who has been in close contact with Ryan in recent years. Obviously she doesn''t want to attract people''s attention, she comes and goes very low-key...


    It wasn''t until I read this newspaper that Ryan knew that Charlize Theron had also been here yesterday. When did she come? Why didn''t you come in to see yourself? Could it be...


    Reminiscing about yesterday''s events, his thoughts naturally turned to the worst.


    Originally, the bumper harvest in the stock market made him think it would be a lucky year, but the real reality immediately broke his illusion.


    Hesitated. Ryan called Charlize Theron, but did not refuse to answer...


    "Hi Charlie!"


    "Ryan." Before Ryan asked, an explanation came from the other side. "Yesterday I wanted to see you, but after entering the hospital, I received a call from Dior. I was attending Dior''s business activities in London. , If you breach the contract, there will be a lot of trouble. I asked the hospital and they said that you are only a minor injury, so I..."


    Although the words are a bit out of line, the voice and mood are normal. Ryan temporarily let go of his heart.


    "It''s okay, Charlie, it''s just a sprained ankle. I will be able to walk in a few days. See you back in Los Angeles."


    "Then be it, I still have to work."


    The opposite Charlize seemed a little anxious, and quickly hung up the phone.


    Put down the mobile phone. Ryan temporarily set aside the disaster. He has to take care of not only his feelings, but also his career. If his feelings are temporarily broken, he can find a way to make up for it. If there is a problem with the business of the foundation, what capital does he have? Let Nicole and Natalie come back?


    He believes that feelings for more than ten years trumps everything, but after two lives, he knows better that reality sometimes trumps everything.


    James Cameron wandered between several women with ease, Bill Gates had several confidantes, Larry Ellison was always surrounded by a group of blonde women, but the media and the public only regarded it as Regarding lace, why are these?


    Although the feminist movement continues to rise, this society is essentially a patriarchal society.


    Ryan knew very well that Nicole and Natalie had come together with him because of the accumulation of feelings, but he knew better that to keep them by his side requires huge capital.


    Perhaps when he was young, he had no ambitions, and just wanted to live easier and more comfortable in this world.


    But as Nicole finally chose him, he later chose Natalie. The predictable difficulties in the future made him inevitably make changes. This is a country of capital. Only huge capital can make dreams shine. Into reality.


    Maybe in the future, I will become the **** that people talk about, and I will also become the **** kid who seduce the adoptive sister in the eyes of others, so what can I do?


    Movies are the greatest interest of his two lives. His future lies in Hollywood. There are countless celebrities in this Vanity Fair who are more **** than these. The measure of their achievements has never been morality!


    Rumors can hurt people. Standing at a sufficient height, rumors are nothing more than rumors.


    After lying in this private hospital for two days, Ryan was transferred to a hospital in London, probably because of his youth and regular exercise. His ankles are recovering much faster than expected. As long as he keeps his injured ankle from landing, it¡¯s okay. Do some simple activities.


    "Professor Steve..."


    Looking at the sports physiotherapist who was checking the recovery of the ankle, Taylor lay on the side of the bed and asked eagerly, "When will Ryan recover?"


    "You can land on the ground for up to five days, but you can''t do strenuous exercise." Professor Steve is talking to Taylor and Ryan. "For the first month, it is best to wear a cane. , Come to the hospital for checkup every ten days."


    "Thank you, Professor Steve."


    After the sports physiotherapist left, Ryan looked at Taylor again, "Honey, take my notebook?"


    "Oh¡­¡­"


    After returning to London from Northampton, the little girl was obviously more obedient, "Ryan, are you going to start working again?"


    "It''s just a few small things." Ryan put the notebook on the small table in front of him, "It will be done soon."


    "Then when shall we go to Australia?"


    Tyler blinked his big royal blue eyes and glanced at the laptop screen. After seeing some boring mail documents, he closed his gaze back, "Are you always going to get Nicole back?"


    "My dear, we will go straight back to North America in a few days." Ryan didn''t look up, still dealing with emails from work.


    "Are you going to give up Nicole?" Taylor became anxious and shook his arm. "I never allow you to do this? Is it for Nat? Don''t forget, Ryan, Nicole is the favorite. your people¡­¡­"


    In everyone''s heart, there is always a difference between closeness and estrangement. Nicole''s position in Taylor''s heart far exceeds that of Natalie.


    Seeing the little girl jumping up and down, Ryan couldn''t help but feel a headache, so he said, "Alison, this is not something you should care about. You are only ten years old and don''t know love yet..."


    "Who said I don''t understand!" Tyler interrupted him, wrinkling his nose and said, "During Warner Records training, there was a boy who followed me all day and said that he wanted me to be his girlfriend."


    "Did you agree?" Ryan asked curiously, apparently treating it as a kid''s mischief.


    "Of course not." Taylor hugged his arms and sat on one side of the high chair. He said disdainfully, "It''s just a naive and ridiculous little kid. Christine and I tricked him out of the Warner Building. Killed him once."


    "Lesson?" Ryan''s mouth trembled, and the tomboy from the Stewart family wasn''t just talking about it. "Did you two beat him?"


    "Ah..." Miss Swift realized that she had missed her mouth and waved her hand casually, "That was last year, I had forgotten..."


    She rolled her eyes and pulled the topic back again, "Ryan, we are discussing your business, how do you choose?"


    "My dear, there are some things that you don''t need to make a choice." Ryan''s eyes finally left the notebook, "Well, Alison, you can see Nicole when you return to North America."


    According to Taylor, Nicole went to the farm in Australia, but "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" will be released in North America soon. With her character, she will definitely go to the premiere.


    Compared to the quietness of Queensland, she prefers the luxury and scenery of Hollywood.


    Last year''s "The Matrix" was well received, and it was considered by many media as one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. To this day, it has won a global box office of more than 500 million U.S. dollars and ranked among the biggest selling movies last year. Ranks.


    And its sequel has undoubtedly attracted the attention of quite a few people and has become the most anticipated movie of this summer. Many professionals predict that "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" is very likely to become "Titanic." After the second film with a box office of over 100 million in the first week.


    "Gladiator" has just finished filming, "Mission Impossible 2" is still far from being completed, "Jurassic Park" was postponed indefinitely by Ryan, this movie became the most heavyweight work of Jenkins Pictures'' summer archives In addition to the production cost of up to 90 million U.S. dollars, it also invested nearly 50 million U.S. dollars in publicity and marketing expenses.


    Of course, with the foundation for the success of the first film, major advertising companies are also willing to pay more sponsorship fees.


    This summer, in addition to this movie, the superheroes of Marvel Comics will also make their debut. In order to avoid cannibalism, "X-Men 1" will premiere in July. Regardless of the performance of this movie, the last two The filming plan for the part has long been determined.


    Through "Blade Warrior" and "X-Men", Marvel Pictures has also accumulated a lot of experience in production. According to Ryan''s suggestion, the next goal is naturally "Spider-Man"!


    However, these are all things to consider in the future. The first thing Ryan has to face is the premiere of "The Matrix 2" and Nicole Kidman''s angry eyes.

 Chapter 445： Back to Los Angeles

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please recommend the promotion introduction to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum post it! When returning to Los Angeles, Ryan had an extra cane in his hand. He was not interested in becoming a traditional Western-style gentleman. But such a cane can greatly reduce the load on the left foot. One second to remember "" the hottest novel update is the fastest


    Although it is possible to walk, if the time is too long, the left ankle will still ache, and the walking posture is not very elegant compared to the original.


    No way, soft tissue injuries also require a long time to recover.


    According to the original plan, after filming "Gladiator", Ryan will join George Lucas to film the last two episodes of "Star Wars", but now it can only be temporarily postponed. Fortunately, this one Anakin Skywalker does not have as many roles in the movie as Maximus in "Gladiator".


    The first opportunity to act in a rivalry with Natalie, if not unexpected, would have to survive in embarrassment.


    Looking back now, when he took over the role of Anakin Skywalker, it was clearly the rhythm of death.


    The relationship between Nicole and him is more complicated. Although many times the words are as sharp as a knife, in Ryan, the Australian girl is only, and Natalie is different. Only God knows that she will give it in peace. What kind of embarrassment to myself.


    Ryan obviously overlooked one thing, a woman, especially a woman who has been emotionally hurt, can be very terrifying, and can even take all of her own things and drag the other person into hell.


    First, I went to the former home. As expected, Nicole was not at home. Ryan left a message, regardless of the male and female paparazzi with him, and went directly to the Westwood District.


    Open the door of the apartment. Although it seemed extremely deserted because it was uninhabited, it was cleaned up. The two people''s real estate has always been taken care of by a special housekeeping company, such as hygiene and maintenance.


    Although over the years, due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar, the real estate tax paid has almost kept up with the original purchase price, but Nicole has no intention of selling, not only to her, even to Ryan, the apartment is left. Too many good memories.


    Sitting in front of the old piano. Ryan tried the tone and played the "Moonlight Sonata". Because of the lack of practice, the tune was intermittent, not very beautiful, but it relieved some of the anxiety in his heart.


    Even if I knew that being depressed would not help me in the future, there were so many accidents one after another. How is he happy again?


    "I found it, Ryan."


    In the bedroom that used to be, Taylor yelled, "Wow, there are so many scores, I''m developed."


    The girl intermittently took a lot of scores from here. Those are basically drafts. The works he was satisfied with back then are all stored in the suitcase here.


    Of course, this has nothing to do with the previous life, like "Song of Hope". It is completely original.


    In a violent sound of ¡®ah ah hi¡¯, the girl dragged a large suitcase. Came and brought it to the living room.


    "These belong to me, Ryan," she declared.


    "Wait, there are still some scripts in it." Ryan walked over, opened the suitcase, rummaged through it, and he took out the manuscripts full of swash English from the suitcase." Take it back to Jenkins Manor together."


    The scripts in it are basically outlines. I was afraid of forgetting to write them out in advance. Many of them were given to the screenwriter team of Jenkins Pictures. Those who can stay here are worse at the box office in the previous life.


    However, this difference is only in his eyes. If it is handed over to the major Hollywood studios to plan and operate well, profitability will not be a problem at all.


    "A lot of them are scores, no lyrics." The girl also turned over what she was interested in. She bit her lip and said confidently, "I can handle the lyrics by myself!"


    Listening to the girl''s murmur, Ryan patted her on the shoulder encouragingly. In his previous life, this guy wrote some simple songs when he was about ten years old and sang it near his hometown.


    "My dear, I should take you home."


    Standing on the balcony, after the sun was gradually sinking to the west, Ryan returned to the living room. Tyler turned over the sheet music very seriously, and divided the two thick stacks that suit him now and those that he might use in the future.


    "Did you forget, Ryan." The girl put the two distinct stacks of manuscripts back in her suitcase and reminded, "Mom, Dad, and Austin are in New York."


    Listening to Taylor''s words, Ryan remembered that since the Nasdaq index plummeted, Scott Swift took his family to New York and temporarily stayed on Wall Street to deal with various emergencies.


    The downward trend of Nasdaq seems to never end. It seems that all the stock bubbles must be squeezed cleanly. Don''t forget the emerging IT companies represented by Cisco and Yahoo. Even the traditional Mobil Oil and General Electric are affected. As a result, the decline of Nasdaq has become a stock market disaster affecting the entire market.


    Many people have nowhere to go after bankruptcy and choose to climb the Empire State Building, but a very small number of people, such as interest groups like Ryan, and certain behind-the-scenes on Wall Street, have become beneficiaries, and a large amount of wealth has passed through various hidden foundations. , Fell into their pockets.


    On the face of it, Ryan¡¯s profit is only more than one billion U.S. dollars, which is unremarkable. Under the unified deployment of Scott, the funds hidden in the dark are closely focused on the targets below in order to initiate a fatal one at any time. hit.


    Before the opponent shows his hole cards, Ryan will keep more hole cards.


    The stock market crash formed by the Nasdaq also disrupted the plans of Larry Page and Sergey Brin to go public and raise funds as soon as possible. However, it is not easy to raise funds in the secondary market because the time is slow and the risk is high. As Google grew and developed, they finally chose to accept Ryan''s investment.


    In this way, Ryan''s share in Google has been further expanded, even if it is diluted in the future, it is also a huge fortune.


    What he owns is not a Class C stock that does not have any voting rights. It is enough to be jealous of Wall Street vampires.


    Interest is always the best tool to impress people and win over partners, isn''t it?


    When I returned to Jenkins Manor, it was already dark. I simply ate dinner. Ryan sat on the sofa in the front hall and learned about dealing with recent company affairs. Taylor drank milk and held his own special guitar. While playing the music intermittently, he squeaked and sang some lyrics that were probably compiled by myself.


    "My dear, why don''t you go to your music practice room?" This is far from a beautiful song, a bit torture people''s ears.


    "Do I sing badly?" The girl raised her head and shouted to the housekeeper who was sitting in the distance chatting with George, "Lisa, what do you think of my singing?"


    "Very perfect, dear."


    Ryan shook his head, and after opening the mailbox, he found an email from Julis about the right to adapt the "Princess Diaries".


    Originally, the book published earlier did not attract his attention, but some dogs and private detectives around him reminded him that this is one of the few live-action movies that sold at the turn of the century at Walt Disney. I''m so sorry to take it away, Michael Eisner used the tricks secretly.


    Although it was a bit late to remember, Ryan still told Julis Stewart to contact the original author, but he didn¡¯t expect that the rights to the "Princess Diaries" had been bought by someone else, and the person who bought it was not owned by Walt Disney. Any company, but the black queen Whitney Houston.


    She doesn''t have a film company, so what will she do when she buys the film adaptation rights? Ryan looked at the content of the email and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little strange. If Whitney Houston is investing, then this transaction is quite foresighted, at least better than her vision in singing career and picking husbands in recent years. too much.


    As far as Ryan knows, Whitney Houston is currently in a drug scandal and debt crisis. If there is a film company to talk about cooperation, as long as the conditions are not too bad, she will definitely accept it.


    Did Disney collaborate with her in the previous life? Ryan thought for a while, but didn''t have any impression. After all, he can remember the director of the movie at best, and who would remember the producer when he was okay.


    Get up, Whitney? Houston''s most beautiful moment in the past few years is because of himself.


    Ryan recommended her to sing the theme song of "Prince of Egypt" "when. temptation. believe". The two big divas appeared together on the Oscar stage, and it was indeed a sensation at the time.


    Coupled with the previous friendship and her reputation in movies, she should make a wise choice.


    As long as it is a project that can bring huge profits, Ryan never mind lowering his figure. He found the address book and directly dialed Whitney Houston''s private number.


    As Ryan thought, he simply mentioned this matter. The black queen who is currently looking for a partner responded Jenkins Films has the best revenue ratio in the past. The service language.


    There is nothing surprising about this kind of fairy tale movie. If "Pretty Girl" is the "exciting girl" version of Cinderella, then "Princess Diaries" is the modern version of Cinderella. Get your own outline, and the screenwriters. Enough to deal with the minor details.


    It¡¯s an actor again. If I remember correctly, the princess Mia in the first part seems to be only fifteen years old... Well, you can re-select an actor. This kind of movie is the easiest to become a celebrity. You can ask a few of the people around you. Does the actress like it?


    It seems that Scarlett Johansson¡¯s age is the most suitable, but his figure is not as **** and hot as he was later, but his head is slightly shorter.


    However, the current classmate Scarlett is still a literary girl...


    In Ryan¡¯s cranky thoughts, time slowly passed around midnight. Tyler had gone back to the room to rest under Lisa¡¯s care. He picked up his cane and walked slowly to the master bedroom on the second floor. There will be another important thing tomorrow. His premiere is waiting for him.

 Chapter 446： Outstanding acting

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group"


    "How is your foot injury?" another reporter asked first.


    "Basically recovered." Ryan paused with his cane, "It doesn''t affect my normal walking anymore."


    Next is a group photo of the main creators of the crew. Nicole showed a charming smile, his eyes never saw Ryan, and Keanu Reeves and Monica Bellucci were always separated between the two.


    Probably because the two did not communicate, they attracted the attention of others. After the routine group photo was over, several reporters jumped out and stopped Ryan and Nicole.


    "Mr. Jenkins, Miss Kidman, there have been rumors recently that you had a big fight in the Northampton hospital, is it true?" This is a more polite way of asking.


    "Ryan, Nicole, I heard that your relationship broke down, you turned your heads back?" The paparazzi never asked questions regardless of the time, place, or the person''s reaction.


    The two of them had a tacit understanding as before, and got together and laughed. The smile appeared sincere and brilliant.


    "Do you think this is possible?" Ryan retorted unceremoniously, "We had a few disputes in the hospital. But Nicole is for my health considerations, gentlemen, use your head to think about it. When will the words of the British tabloid be credible?"


    After speaking, he turned around and left. Nicole naturally reached into his arms and walked towards the Shrine Grand Theater hand in hand.


    this moment. Both Ryan and Nicole showed off the acting skills of the Oscar actor and actress, as if those unpleasantness had never happened.


    However, the parties knew that they were performing and dealing with the media, and had just walked into the theater. Nicole''s smile suddenly disappeared, her pale face seemed to be frozen, her hand was stabbed with a needle, she immediately retracted it, and the whole person was two feet away from Ryan in an instant.


    "Where have you been these days?" Ryan asked in a low voice.


    "I don''t want to talk to you." Nicole pointed to her heart, "I''m very, very angry..."


    "Can''t we talk about it?" Ryan interrupted her.


    "What''s there to talk about with a liar and bastard?" Nicole looked over. It was clearly filled with resentment, "Disappear from my eyes, Ryan, or do you want to see a hysterical woman going crazy on this occasion?"


    "I..." Nicole interrupted as soon as Ryan said. "There is nothing to say between us, so be it."


    Finished. She turned around and squeezed an almost imperceptible voice from between her teeth, "I will replace all the bodyguards and assistants, stop playing those boring tricks, don''t let me hate you forever!"


    Seeing the tall figure walking towards Judy Foster, Ryan was temporarily silent. Those thoughts, those prepared sophistry, could not say a word in front of the most familiar person.


    She is not Charlize Theron, nor an outsider he can deal with with all his heart, she is Nicole Kidman!


    From the age of seven, she grew up with him, and he watched her mature step by step, and even grow old slowly, even though she has billions of wealth and various methods, how can he use it? ...


    His head suddenly became painful as if it were splitting, Ryan inevitably thought of Natalie, why he didn''t do the same to her.


    Forget it, let George find a way to rearrange the bodyguards and assistants that Nicole dismissed, those are his people.


    When Ryan had a headache, James Cameron brought Susie Amis over.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    "Congratulations, Jim, and Susie." Ryan shook hands with the two one by one. "Have you decided on the time and place of the wedding?"


    One of the biggest gossips in Hollywood this year is the divorce between James Cameron and Linda Hamilton. The truck driver paid up to $50 million in alimony for this. Susie Amis spent a few years in silence. , Who conquered the unruly set tyrant with accommodation and gentleness, is the final winner.


    This woman''s mind is definitely not as ordinary as her looks. Compared to Catherine Birog and Linda Hamilton, she knows better what kind of partner James Cameron needs.


    James Cameron would rather divide so much wealth and get a divorce, which is enough to prove Susie Amis''s position in his heart now.


    "Ryan, I heard that Lanai has been bought by you."


    When the three of them walked to the quiet area of ??the theater''s front hall, James Cameron asked, "Can I borrow it?"


    "You want to..." Ryan stopped and looked at the tyrant on the set. "Lanai is updating some facilities, but it will be completed soon."


    "Suzie wants to hold a quieter wedding. Only friends and relatives will attend." James Cameron''s eyes have never left his fiancee with a sweet smile. "It is said that the scenery of Lanai Island is very good, and the more important thing is that That is your private domain."


    "Of course you can, as long as you need, you can say hello to me at any time." Of course, this kind of busy Ryan would not refuse.


    The biggest advantage of holding a wedding on Lanai Island is that you can avoid the harassment of reporters and paparazzi. James Cameron and Susie Amis obviously don''t want to make a lot of noise again because of this wedding.


    A very smart woman who knows what time to do and what kind of things. This is Ryan¡¯s greatest sense to Susie Amis. No wonder she was the only one who was relatively inconspicuous in her previous life and maintained her follow-up. The marriage of James Cameron, a playboy.


    After talking about personal matters, the topic naturally shifted to business matters, and the 3D project of cooperation was the central point of the topic.


    "Scott is buying shares of IMAX in the market, and our people are also in contact with their shareholders and the board of directors."


    The stock price of IMAX is not high. In the past few months, it has basically fallen to the bottom. There is not much room for decline below. Ryan has asked Scott Swift to start the acquisition. Jim, we only need to get a controlling stake."


    "Of course, we are not qualified operators." James Cameron''s mind is very clear, he pointed to his head, "I care more about whether their technology can turn my vision into reality. "


    "Your idea about aliens?" Ryan shook his head, this kind of strange thing...


    James Cameron nodded first, and then asked, "Is it going well?"


    "It''s okay. A preliminary agreement has been reached with several shareholders."


    The current IMAX company is just a humble small company. After all, the success of the acquisition is still a matter of funding.


    And Ryan and James Cameron teamed up, financial pressure is almost non-existent.


    "If the acquisition can be reached as soon as possible." Ryan pointed to the Wachowski brothers not far away, "I will let someone make the third part of "The Matrix" IMAX."


    The promotion of this technology requires long-term efforts, and Ryan understands this very well.


    "Okay." James Cameron nodded, "If you need my help, just call."


    After making a call gesture, he took Susie Amis and walked to other places, "I''m going to say hello to other people."


    James Cameron had just left, and Harvey Weinstein, who had been staring here, walked over.


    "Ryan, I heard that Jenkins Pictures is looking for a distributor for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?"


    Although the film got Palme d''Or, Ryan still wanted to maximize his profits and pushed the film''s release time in North America to the second half of the year. Ang Lee also understood the reason for this and was very cooperative.


    Ryan looked at the big fat man up and down, with a clear look in his eyes.


    Harvey Weinstein is not at all polite, "Give the distribution rights to Weinstein Pictures, I personally like this movie very much."


    "Then... okay." Ryan just thought for a moment, then nodded in response. The Weinstein brothers have rich experience in how to operate the movie that goes for awards. "Harvey, go with Julie for specific conditions. Stan."


    In the past life, this movie can get such a high box office, the Oscar statuette must have played a big role. In this life, he has already taken the Cannes Palme d¡¯Or, maybe he can get higher profits.


    How could Ryan let go of the opportunity to make more money.


    In the following time, while dealing with the people who came to say hello, he paid attention to Nicole from time to time. Australian girls are good sociables. No matter what the heart is, they talk and laugh, but there is not much difference from the past, maybe only that. The hateful eyes that occasionally look over can reflect her true feelings.


    "What the **** did you do, Ryan."


    I don¡¯t know when Judy Foster suddenly walked to her side, "Nicole has been living with me these days and has lost her temper."


    "Judy, you have been good friends for many years. Help me take care of her." Ryan sighed. After returning from London, Nicole has been hiding from him. With her temperament, I am afraid that it will continue very much. For a long time, "Don''t ask why, okay? Anyway, I did something..."


    He shook his head and said nothing.


    Judy Foster was one of the first friends the two had made, and he could roughly guess a few. He patted Ryan on the arm and returned to Nicole in the crowd.


    "Hey, Ryan."


    Tiger, acting as the instructor? Chen came over and invited, "It''s almost time, won''t you go in?"


    "Well, together."


    With that said, he walked into the screening hall with Tiger Chen and Keanu Reeves.

 Chapter 447： Reload

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! Because Ryan has completed the script of the trilogy at the same time, and made some necessary additions and deletions to the plot to make the film more before and after Coherent, and during the production of the second part, the Wachowski brothers once called the actors to make up some shots. One second to remember "" the hottest novel update is the fastest


    However, these have nothing to do with the plot, mainly for the movie''s advertising sponsors.


    Motorola, one of the main sponsors, did not want to pay more for the second advertisement, so all mobile phones were replaced by Samsung.


    Since it is a commercial film, it is necessary to pursue the maximization of profits.


    What''s more, compared with the previous life, the trilogy was filmed at the same time, saving at least one third of the cost. Although it will bring some other minor problems, in general, the gains far outweigh the losses.


    Ryan roughly remembered that he had seen some related reports in his previous life. Keanu Reeves paid only 10 million U.S. dollars for the first film, and the sequel was paid 15% of the total box office. If this is true In that case, his salary alone is a huge expenditure.


    Although after the success of the first film, the producer inevitably added the actor''s pay, it did not reach such a terrifying situation.


    Otherwise, the actors'' share alone will take a considerable amount of profit.


    Because of the great success of the first film, Jenkins Pictures and Weinstein Pictures, as the producers, and Warner Bros., the publisher, prepared more than 8,000 copies for the second film, setting a record in the history of Hollywood. The three parties have fought for the largest possible number of theaters, and want to push the film''s first week''s box office past the $100 million mark.


    Regarding the release of the movie, Ryan has also fully learned the lessons of his past life. Although the post-production of the third part has already begun, it will not be released this year. The market will always take a period of time to digest, and there is no benefit in launching the next episode too early.


    Of course, it cannot be launched too late. September next year is a bump.


    Watching Agent Smith fighting Neo on the screen. Ryan suddenly thought of the upcoming "Lord of the Rings" film. If nothing else, this movie could catch up with next year''s summer vacation. We must find a way to extend the schedule of the movie.


    Although Ryan has fine-tuned the plot, the movie is still a bit maddening. Fortunately, the audience is still buying this kind of plot. In addition to the huge influence of the first episode, most people are immersed in the thinking and thinking of the plot. Interpreting.


    Ryan is definitely not one of them. In his eyes, the biggest feature of this movie. Keanu Reeves is handsome enough, Nicole Kidman is a pretty mess, and Lawrence Fishburne is still cool...


    Hmm... the highlight of this movie is the addition of an absolute big vase. Monica Bellucci''s is indeed very plump and sexy.


    As for the connotation and philosophy of the film, let the audience and film critics think about it.


    Like all Hollywood movies, love is pitiful, and it is often used as the opposite of salvation, if you use Ryan''s words instead. Love is simply an unforgivable crime against humanity and society...


    Neo will inevitably have to choose between salvation and love, and his first choice is Trinity. In a way, this is a very typical American value. If you can''t protect your personal interests or your lover, and you can protect the country or the whole world without hesitation, that would be too false...


    Even if this is just a fictional science fiction film.


    The unfinished part of the second part left a huge suspense, judging from the warm applause of the audience. The box office of this part and the expected level of the third part should be maintained at a relatively high level.


    Between the second and third parts, Jenkins Pictures has already found someone to produce related animations. Will do some preheating.


    Anyway, if you don''t squeeze all the oil and water of this series, Ryan will not take a break. After the trilogy, after a few years, he can continue to make a sequel to make money.


    At the worst, you can sell the permission to make a sequel, which is also a huge gain.


    Think about the past life, why can Walt Disney spend more than one billion dollars to acquire Lucasfilm, isn''t it because the other party holds the copyright of the Star Wars series?


    Since you are in Hollywood and have come to where you are now, you have to consider film issues from the perspective of a qualified filmmaker.


    After the film was over, Ryan wanted to talk to Nicole very much. The Australian girl didn''t give him this opportunity at all. She didn''t even attend the press conference. She took Judy Foster''s car and left the Shrine Grand Theatre. .


    "Where is Nicole?"


    Just after returning to the manor, Tyler, who was sitting in the front hall playing guitar, ran over, "Are you a fool, Ryan?"


    "My dear, this is not a problem you should be concerned about." Ryan responded casually, "It''s not as simple as you think."


    "Huh~ don''t think I don''t know what you are thinking." The little girl sat on the sofa with her arms folded, wrinkling her nose, and said with certainty, "You must be reluctant to bear Nat, right?"


    "It''s getting late, you should go to bed."


    Ryan was still a bit embarrassed when a little girl in her early ten years said the main thing, "Don''t forget, you have to go to Warner Records tomorrow morning."


    "Nothing."


    Seeing Ryan''s outstretched hand, Taylor hid on the solo sofa next to him and solemnly said, "We are studying a very serious subject, don''t make trouble!"


    After pouring a cup of tea, Ryan was helpless, tasting quietly, and ignored the girl who was a little ghost.


    Royal blue eyes blinked, and Taylor jumped onto the sofa opposite him, "Ryan...I, can I give you an idea?"


    Ryan didn''t even look at her.


    "You can learn from James." The little girl had no choice but to take the initiative. "He did a very good job. You can marry Nicole first, and then let Nat be your lover..."


    This kind of childish speech Ryan will naturally not take it seriously, and the best way to forget about depression is to temporarily divert attention to other aspects, such as the word-of-mouth and box office of "The Matrix 2: Reloading".


    "It''s a wonderful movie, but unfortunately, its first movie is unparalleled. "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" did not escape the fate of a sequel movie. Compared with the first movie, it is obviously inferior."


    --"New York Times"


    "Compared with what the first film provided, "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" has developed its unique world with more details, a sequel worthy of recognition."


    -"San Francisco Chronicle"


    "The Matrix 2: Reloading is so exciting. It combines the elements that Hollywood is used to-heroes and villains, special effects, pursuits and explosions, romantic love and beautiful words. Compared to the first one. , This makes people sadder, wiser, and more mature. Someone might say that this is a film created for a sadder, wiser, and more mature world."


    -"Chicago Tribune"


    Compared with the unanimous praise of the first film, the second film has significantly more critical voices. In this regard, the film¡¯s high level of expectations is not a good thing.


    "The fight in the movie is full of chaos and unpreparedness. It creates a huge and funny human world. This is an ugly, bloated, and repetitive movie. It is totally unworthy for the audience to sit in front of the big screen. hour."


    -"New York Magazine"


    "There are more fighting scenes, more dazzling bullets, and more fashionable styles. Except for the surprising plot, everything seems to be not as good as imagined. Maybe our appetite is too high. "The Matrix 2: Reloading." "Coming into Battle" has been reduced to a combat film armed purely with high-tech means, with the addition of some love dramas that are neither salty nor indifferent, neither soft nor hard."


    -"Miami Herald"


    In any case, the praise the movie has received far exceeds the criticism, especially with the first film as a basis, the audience is very paid, and in four consecutive days, the high gear rate of "The Matrix 2: Heavy" "Fit for Battle" is almost full of seats.


    On Thursday¡¯s premiere day, it was US$5 million, and the next day it surged to more than US$27.5 million. In the two days of the weekend, it won more than US$60 million in the box office.


    Although it has not become the second film with a box office of more than 100 million dollars in the first week, Ryan is very satisfied with the figure of nearly 95 million dollars in more than 3,600 theaters.


    Just like the first movie, the products that appeared in the movie have been enthusiastic by fans, especially the new Samsung mobile phones. In just three days, the 10,000 sph-n270 phones they prepared in North America were quickly sold. Empty...


    Although the movie¡¯s box office experienced a major decline in the second week, the US$53.14 million score still surpassed other movies of the same period, and has been on the top of the North American weekly box office rankings for two consecutive weeks.


    After the second week, the film began to land in several major overseas markets, continuing the good momentum of the first film and becoming a gold-fishing weapon that swept the box office.


    "It''s a pity the box office of the movie did not exceed 100 million in the first week."


    This is a call from Harvey Weinstein that Ryan received. The big fat guy seems to be a little bit emotional, "Ryan, we should invest some money!"


    "Hey, Harvey, we should pay more attention to the actual benefits it can bring to us than the film broke 100 million in the first week." Anyway, there will be movies with a box office of 100 million in the first week, and Ryan doesn''t care about this title. , "I heard that you have negotiated "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with Julis?"


    "Yes, I have made a comprehensive publicity plan." Harvey Weinstein said briefly, "We are contacting theaters, and we will focus on theaters close to the Chinese community."


    After a few more words, Ryan hung up the phone. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still some time away from being released in North America, so it can be handled by Harvey Weinstein. This guy hasn''t been in the last two years. I rarely buy foreign language movies from overseas, and I have rich experience in this area.


    Over time, after the doctor''s confirmation, the walking stick that accompanied him briefly was thrown into the storage room by Ryan, and he could reload it.

 Chapter 448： DreamWorks Animation Studio

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group


    Before the dwarf hero could kill all quarters, he was trapped in a heavy siege, especially the blind man with a blindfold, who sucked up his magic in a few strokes, making Muradin Bronze Sora powerful. Trick, but cannot be released.


    "Ah! Ah..."


    The howls of the Terran infantry before their deaths continued to sound, but they seemed to lose the battle after losing their commander.


    The dwarf hero who was unwilling to fail was still slashing the surrounding enemies in vain. The demon hunter had already quietly approached his side and stabbed a fatal blow...


    The great king of the hill fell and returned to the altar of heroes. The human force without a commander collapsed instantly, and the failure was irreparable.


    "Why did you lose again?" Ryan reluctantly quit the game and asked the Blizzard technicians around him, "Is there an invincible mode? I want to torture the other races one by one!"


    "Sorry, Mr. Jenkins." A technician explained, holding the eyeglasses, "This is just the latest experimental version, and many features have not yet been developed."


    "Okay." Ryan stood up from the computer and said, "Does this version have a name?"


    "Currently, it is tentatively scheduled to be the Reign of Chaos." Alan Adhan of Blizzard Entertainment was speaking. "This is a brand new version of Warcraft."


    "Yeah~" Ryan nodded. Asked the most concerned question, "When can it be listed."


    "It takes one to two years."


    The two were talking. He entered the office on the other side, and after sitting down, Alan Adhan continued, "The balance of the game still needs to be perfected."


    "I won''t interfere with the specific operation." He didn''t know much about the game industry.


    When Ryan came over, I heard that Blizzard had developed a new game project, and wanted to see if it was the classic games from the previous life, but borrowed the novel of the same name he wrote in advance, and the "Warcraft" series has become more complete. Worldview. Several well-known heroes are extremely prominent in setting. The development progress and sales of the first two generations of games are very satisfactory.


    Blizzard Entertainment was also affected by the stock market crash triggered by Nasdaq. Unlike those emerging IT companies, Blizzard¡¯s stock price has been at a relatively low price under Ryan¡¯s instruction. And Blizzard has a solid performance as a support, far from the degree of collapse.


    In fact, Blizzard¡¯s stock price has gradually stabilized because of nearly crazy performance in the past six months.


    At the beginning of this year, Blizzard¡¯s "Diablo 2" sold more than 2.5 million units within a few months of its launch. Another popular game "StarCraft" has also reached a cooperation agreement with Nintendo, and will appear on the other side''s N64 game platform.


    There is also Blizzard¡¯s Battle.net. Since its opening, the number of daily registrations has averaged around 70,000 people. At its peak, it reached 150,000, and now there are close to 8 million registered users. Become the focus of attention in the industry.


    All this shows the strong potential of Blizzard Entertainment and becomes an important factor in stabilizing the stock price.


    Because there was an important date later, Ryan left Irvine, passed through downtown Los Angeles, and arrived in Glendale, a small city in the north, in a private club full of characteristics. , I saw the person who asked him over.


    It¡¯s definitely not a beauty that made him come here. Ryan has no intention of dating a woman now. Nicole ran back to Australia. Natalie didn¡¯t answer his phone at all. Even Charlize Theron also picked up a new one. The movie, left Los Angeles.


    Things seem to be developing in the worst direction.


    However, a man''s life is not only about feelings, career is the foundation of everything.


    Regarding this, Ryan has always kept a clear head, so after seeing Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, he threw all his mixed thoughts behind his head.


    The three of them got on the battery car and came to the golf course. Ryan picked up a set of tools, and after a few random shots, they acted as spectators. After all, they were not here to play golf, but to talk about important things.


    "Steven, when did you come back?"


    The weather was a bit hot, and Ryan walked under the umbrella first. After the other two sat down, he asked, "Is the shooting of "Pearl Harbor" over?"


    "It''s over, Michael is busy with post-production."


    Taking the coffee from Ryan, Spielberg said with a smile, "I haven''t congratulated you yet, Ryan, "The Matrix 2" should become the first movie this year with a box office of over $300 million."


    The box office he said is naturally the North American box office.


    "When will Pixar''s "Monster Electric Company" be launched?" Jeffrey Katzenberg, who has been silent, suddenly said, "Facts have proved that computer animation is the future development trend, and hand-drawn animation is destined to decline."


    "Don''t be so pessimistic, Jeffery, believe that if we introduce computer animation technology from Pixar." Spielberg looked over, "Ryan will definitely not refuse."


    "Of course." Ryan nodded solemnly, "Only when this industry has formed a sufficient scale can it create huge profits."


    "Do you need me to say thank you, Ryan?" Katzenberg also laughed.


    "We don''t need to be so polite between us."


    Even though he said so, Ryan didn¡¯t think so in his heart. If it¡¯s just such a thing, just a phone call is enough. DreamWorks will never send out Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg. Giant.


    They must meet for another purpose.


    "Toy Story 2 hasn''t been released in some overseas regions yet?" Katzenberg brought the topic back to animation. "The final global box office will definitely exceed $600 million! Pixar Studios has created more and more achievements. The more amazing it is."


    "DreamWorks Animation Studio is equally good." Ryan also said compliments to compliment people without any money. "The Prince of Egypt" won the praise that is rare in an animated feature film..."


    "But the box office is far from meeting our expectations. You must know that, Ryan."


    Hearing Spielberg''s words, Ryan nodded slightly. "Prince of Egypt" earned more than 200 million US dollars in box office around the world, but compared to huge investments, it is very difficult to even recover the cost.


    Moreover, the film is too adult. Although it has been praised by the industry, it is not very popular among children, which directly affects the sales of peripheral products, the bulk of the income of animated films.


    The atmosphere fell into a short silence, and Katzenberg gently squeezed the table a few times and said, "Ryan, we are all old friends. You should be familiar with the difficulties encountered by DreamWorks Animation Studio..."


    Before Ryan had something to say, he went on to say, ¡°Breaking into the Golden City has brought us huge losses and directly dragged down the finances of the entire DreamWorks. We plan to spin it out separately and become an independent company.¡±


    Lowering his eyelids slightly, Ryan did not speak. In fact, he kept people staring at the DreamWorks Animation Studio. He was very clear about what happened during this period.


    Since "Little Ants", DreamWorks has been thinking about making a difference in the animation market. In fact, the strength of this new company cannot be underestimated, although last year¡¯s "Prince of Egypt" did not reach the box office. Expected, but its magnificent visual effects combined with computer technology and traditional painting style and fine art, has been praised by the industry.


    The most important thing is that they clearly analyzed that the themes of the last two works were too serious and not suitable for the atmosphere of an animated film. They deliberately recruited Tang Han, the production manager of "The Lion King" from Disney, and invested 100 million. U.S. dollars, produced a family-friendly feature film "Brave to the Golden City" that is more acceptable to children.


    However, the change in style did not bring luck to the DreamWorks Animation Studios. "Break into the Golden City" landed in North America in March. After nearly four months of long-term screenings, it only got a poor five thousand in North America. Ten thousand dollars at the box office, and the overseas market has always been the weakness of DreamWorks. Besides, the current overseas markets that have only gained a mere few million dollars, can only be said to be better than nothing.


    Compared with the film''s 100 million US dollars production cost and more than 30 million US dollars in publicity costs, this box office directly pushed the entire DreamWorks to the edge of the cliff...


    And if it spins off DreamWorks Animation Studio and lets it conduct separate financial accounting, if there is no capital injection, there is only one way to go bankrupt.


    "Frankly speaking Ryan, DreamWorks Animation Studio has encountered a lot of difficulties."


    These things are not secrets in Hollywood at all, Katzenberg simply said directly, "Currently it is very difficult to raise funds..."


    Another impact brought about by the collapse of the IT myth is that major investment groups shrink money and carefully examine related industries, while DreamWorks Animation Studios have failed successively in animation films, and they can draw investment from these vampires. Weird.


    From the day when Drew was asked to help buy the adaptation rights to "Shrek", Ryan was actually waiting for an opportunity to reach out to DreamWorks Animation Studios.


    "Stephen..." Spielberg shook his head as soon as Ryan looked over. "DreamWorks Animation Studio needs not only funding, but also great works that sell well."


    "Although Pixar has excellent technology, Toy Story comes from "Ryan Tales"." Katzenberg hesitated a little bit, and said, "DreamWorks Animation Studio will focus on computer animation in the next step. Well, how about giving us the right to edit "Finding Nemo" and "Kung Fu Panda"?"

 Chapter 449： New goals in the new era

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "That''s it for now, Jeffrey, Stephen, I will finish the script as soon as possible. Remember in a second "" Popular novels are updated fastest"


    Before getting into the car, Ryan shook hands with the two of them one by one and said goodbye, "I will tell the people below to contact DreamWorks Animation Studio as soon as possible to start negotiations on investment and shares."


    "Then we will wait for your good news."


    Geoffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, who left separately in the car, both had smiles on their faces. They were able to find funds to revitalize the DreamWorks animation studio, and Ryan agreed to write the script by hand. The trip was completely Achieved the goal.


    After the two giants of DreamWorks left, Ryan asked the driver to start the car. He was very interested in being able to get involved in the DreamWorks Animation Studio.


    You know, DreamWorks Animation Studio is an animation giant second only to Pixar Studios.


    With the Big Three including David Finch, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, it is impossible for him to get a controlling stake. It is also very satisfying to be a major shareholder.


    In this way, the three best animation studios in Hollywood in the past will be deeply influenced by him.


    Of course, the animation scripts he said are definitely not "Finding Nemo" and "Kung Fu Panda", but "Shrek" that I bought a long time ago. This is a typical anti-Disney-style animation. His previous life was DreamWorks animation work. The turn of the room.


    Ryan is also a little curious. DreamWorks Animation Studio must have encountered almost similar crises in his previous life. How did they get rid of it?


    The Big Three of DreamWorks, especially David Geffen, are indeed worth a lot of money. But they are more of fixed assets and relatively limited liquidity. He also couldn''t think of how the other party resolved this crisis in his previous life.


    In fact, the current DreamWorks seems to be beautiful, but there are various crises hidden in the dark. The Big Three¡¯s ambitions are too big and the stalls are too open. Any profitable entertainment industry wants to get involved, but it lacks enough accumulation. , Resulting in funds being pressured on too many projects.


    Especially their independent production "Pearl Harbor". That was close to the production cost of 150 million U.S. dollars. Many subsequent projects of DreamWorks, such as "Brothers", had to adopt the method of financing and shooting. When DreamWorks Animation Studio suffered a huge loss, their funds The chain is in danger of breaking.


    Thinking of "Pearl Harbor", Ryan gradually had some related memories. The film DreamWorks in the previous life seems to have received other investment, unlike the current one, which is completely independent.


    The reason for this situation, Ryan attributed the reason to his own body, he cooperated with DreamWorks "Cat and Mouse Game" and "Saving Private Ryan", far surpassed the same period movies of the previous DreamWorks. Perhaps it was these that further stimulated the ambitions of the Big Three.


    However, this is also good. If they are not having difficulty in capital turnover and encountering a catastrophe in the stock market, they will not necessarily accept their own investment.


    Hmm...Be sure to tell your team. Try to pay as little price as possible and get more shares.


    Although he has a very good relationship with Spielberg. But friendship belongs to friendship, and business belongs to business.


    As long as the senior executives reach an agreement, the specific work will naturally be taken over by more professional personnel. Ryan sat in the car and made several consecutive phone calls so that the team below could follow up the matter in time.


    Entering July, the North American box office of "The Matrix 2" is trying to climb toward 200 million US dollars, and the global box office is also close to 400 million US dollars. According to the current development momentum, it seems that it is destined to become the most popular movie this year.


    "Hi, Scarlett."


    On the way to meet Taylor at Warner Records, Ryan dialed Scarlett Johansson¡¯s number, "Are you still in Scotland?"


    "Yes, my scene is not over yet." Scarlett seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and Grid laughed twice, "Ryan, are you asking Nat?"


    "Yeah." Ryan snorted softly.


    "Nate is in a bad mood. If you go to see her, you must be mentally prepared." Scarlett exhorted a few words, and then said, "She is hiding in a New York villa."


    "Thank you, Scarlett."


    Natalie''s whereabouts are very clear to Ryan. He called more to find out the feelings of the Long Island girl, "When you return to Los Angeles, I will treat you."


    "No need." Scarlett said carelessly, "just lend me your yacht for a party."


    "no problem."


    Not long after hanging up the phone, the car stopped in front of Warner''s building, and the muttering little girl opened the car door and jumped in.


    "What happened, dear." Ryan asked after making a driving gesture to the driver.


    "Look at it for yourself." Taylor stuffed a letter over, "boring and idiot, if you let me know who did it, I must make him look good!"


    "What is this..." Ryan didn''t open it, just looked at the envelope, after all, he must respect the little guy''s privacy.


    "Love letter!" Taylor gritted his teeth. "It''s still the unsigned one."


    "Oh, Tyler has become a big girl, and boys are already chasing after..."


    This kind of thing is too common in Los Angeles, Ryan didn''t take it to heart at all, but laughed.


    "Is it funny?" The pair of royal blue eyes looked over, and Ryan had no choice but to stop laughing, "Well, my dear, this is just a small problem, don''t take it to heart."


    "You are not allowed to mention this to tomboys and chubby girls!" Taylor waved a small fist, then snatched the letter back and threw it into his bag. "When you arrive in New York, you are not allowed to tell your father and mother! "


    After reassuring the little girl, Ryan took her on a private jet and flew to the Big Apple, and "X-Men" was about to be released.


    After getting off the plane, the car sent by Scott was already waiting outside the airport. Although he wanted to go directly to Long Island, Ryan went to Wall Street first to send the gossiping little guy to his parents. Discuss the following work with Scott.


    It seems that it was affected by the shattering of IT myths, and the whole Wall Street looked deserted, and the pedestrians who came and went were serious, as if they had just experienced the baptism of a huge disaster.


    The stock market is ever-changing. Most of the time, the biggest losses are those small and medium-sized investors.


    And the people or groups that have made huge profits behind them will always appear peaceful and tranquil, and no one will take the initiative to jump on the water and become the target of public criticism.


    Ryan''s gains were distributed among multiple hidden foundations. On the surface, his investment profitability was not very conspicuous.


    "Well, my dear, I finally returned you intact."


    Seeing the Swifts, Ryan just sighed, and she evoked a dissatisfied voice from the little girl, "Dear Ryan, am I a big trouble in your eyes?"


    Is not it?


    Ryan didn''t say anything. Although the little guy caused him great trouble, it was his sister.


    "We are multi-account, slowly eating into Disney stock."


    After Taylor was taken away by Mrs. Andrea, Scott talked about his recent work, "The new financing plan for Pixar Studios and Jenkins Pictures has been completed. Several Jewish groups that have been in close contact with us have promised When necessary, we will support our plan."


    Although the shares in Pixar Studios and Jenkins Pictures have been diluted to less than 50%, Ryan is not very worried, after all, he is still the largest shareholder.


    If he wants to get something, he has to pay the corresponding price. He knows this very well. How can he not pay a certain price if he wants to get the Disney shares in the hands of those people?


    "What about other things?" Ryan asked again.


    "Everything is going according to plan." Scott seemed extremely confident, "Trust me, Ryan, as long as there is no internal problem, even if Michael Eisner drags the entire Disney crazy, we have enough means and Capital payable."


    Ryan nodded. After several months of observation, Walt Disney''s board of directors showed the unity and efficiency of the early and mid-nineties. They were tightly screwed together by common interests. There was only one goal-- Pixar Studio!


    "Ryan, our funds can''t be in our hands." Scott once again raised the question about investment, "I remember you mentioned last time, the next step is the IT industry?"


    "That''s right." Ryan gently buckled the armrest of the sofa and said unhurriedly, "After this blow, although the IT myth has been shattered, computers and networks have long become impossible for us in our lives and work. Part of the division, within a few years, the industry will once again show great vitality."


    After a few simple words, Ryan believes that as long as he is reminded, Scott, who is far more professional than himself, will get a more detailed analysis.


    After hearing Scott say a few more questions about Google, Ryan directly stated his next goal, "eBay, Amazon, Yahoo, Apple, Scott, staring at these companies, I believe you We will find the most suitable mobile phone company and try our best to buy into their stocks."


    Although there should be stocks that have soared Ryan can remember not many. It is difficult to repurchase Yahoo''s stock, but there are certainly not a few circulating in the market.


    And without Steve Jobs, Apple, which is still booming, if I remember correctly, there will be several financing opportunities in the next few years, depending on whether we can get a foot in it.


    As for eBay and Amazon, Ryan doesn¡¯t know anything about it. He only knows that it was a very good IT company that seemed to have a market value of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. Under the current situation, it should not be special to buy some shares from their shareholders. Difficult things.


    Opportunities like this will become less and less in the future. When leaving Wall Street, Ryan also told George to let Garcia pay attention to video sites, which will be one of the most important parts of the entertainment industry in the future.


    When it comes to the impact on the income of the film industry, Yutube can smash Tomato and IMDB Ten Main Streets.


    Out of Manhattan, the car drove on the same road to Long Island. Ryan''s goal was Natalie''s residence on the island.

 Chapter 450： You shouldnt throw it

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "Nate, did you quarrel with Ryan?"


    When she was about to leave, Mrs. Shelly suddenly asked her daughter, "What happened between you?"


    "Mom, we are very..."


    Natalie''s words were not finished, but her mother interrupted, "My dear, you are my daughter, and your unhappiness is written on your face."


    Mrs. Shelly knew that with her daughter''s proud temperament, apart from Ryan, who else could make her so unhappy?


    Seeing her mother staring at her, Natalie sighed softly, "Mom, there are some problems between us. Trust me, it will be resolved soon."


    Yeah, a decision will be made soon, if he is still such a bastard, it''s over.


    After sending her mother away, Natalie sat on the sofa and slowly stroked the silver-white sun-shaped pendant on her neck. The sweetest gift once brought irritability and depression.


    This pendant is her most cherished gift and her favorite accessory to wear. There was a time when Natalie even thought that she would wear it and walk into the church one day...


    And that **** ruined everything by himself! Why did he do this?


    Thinking of the past, Natalie felt that she was a joke. Why should she care too much? Why not choose to make it public? His actions just gave that **** a chance!


    After returning from Northampton, Natalie reflected on it for a long time, and gradually became suspicious about many things that she hadn''t noticed in the past. Has Ryan been planning all this since many years ago? Did he take himself as a goal when he wrote Matilda and gave out this pendant?


    Yes, no matter when or now, I can''t talk about how beautiful she is, but Natalie clearly feels that she is in that guy''s heart. Has an extraordinary status.


    This also made her always think that she always occupies the most important position in his heart.


    However, the truth is even more funny than Kim Kerry''s movie. He who thinks he is smart turns out to be the biggest fool in the world.


    why? What exactly is this for?


    With the roar from the bottom of her heart, the past gradually took over in her mind. Natalie clearly remembered the relationship between Ryan and herself before filming "Killer Leon". It''s pure friendship...


    That time, he saw his Matilda dress for the first time, and he personally put the pendant on his neck. The relationship between the two began to change. Those unclear emotions would change from time to time. Surrounded by them, when they slowly grow up, they will inevitably take a step further.


    Matilda! Matilda...


    Everything seems to originate from the crazy girl, the movie character created by Ryan!


    The hand stroking the pendant suddenly increased her strength, and Natalie subconsciously wanted to take it off. Throw it in the trash can and let this **** all come to an end.


    However, the dispute seems to be yesterday, his and her feelings. It was noisy little by little.


    At the same time, gunshots in North Hollywood sounded in his ears. To protect her, he could pay any price...


    The hand trembled. Finally falling back on the sofa, a line of faint tears rolled out of the girl''s eyes.


    Maybe Scarlett got it right and give him a chance. Give yourself a chance to choose, let yourself, whether he cares about Natalie Portman.


    Ryan, don''t let me down, okay? Otherwise... Otherwise... Natalie herself doesn''t want to think about that idea, it will make her feel that her strong self-confidence is only the surface, and the deepest part of her heart still hides reluctance and weakness.


    Natalie was waiting. Scarlett had called before. She knew that the **** had come to New York. According to his character, she should have come to see herself.


    The door bell sounded by Ding Dong seemed to verify Natalie''s idea. She walked to the door of the room, hesitated a little, and finally bit her lip and opened the door.


    Before the door opened, Ryan was ready to be kicked out by Natalie, and when the Long Island girl was calm, he was a little relieved.


    "Hi, Nat." Ryan beckoned to her.


    The girl opposite didn''t respond, those brown eyes just looked at him up and down.


    "Nate, don''t you let me in?" After waiting for a few seconds, Natalie didn''t give way at all. Ryan had no choice but to say, "This is not your way of hospitality."


    "Hospitality?" Natalie forced a sneer on the corners of her mouth. "I remember you were friends. You have to bring out good wine and food to entertain you. If you are a bastard, you have to close the door and let the dog go. Bite!"


    Natalie gave aside, "You should be thankful that I don''t have a hound!"


    "I''ll send someone one over the next day." Ryan hurriedly walked in, and there was a''bang'' door closing behind her. Natalie''s voice seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth, "No need. Our relationship is not so good."


    Standing quietly opposite Natalie, Ryan stared at her for a long time before saying, "I''m sorry, Nat."


    "Is this still meaningful now?" Natalie was very calm, at least looking like this from the outside, "If you are here to apologize, I will accept it, and you can go."


    Scarlett had been on the phone before, and she had already brought those words.


    Compared to the harm he caused to herself, she gave him the opportunity to choose, and Natalie thought she was absolutely magnanimous.


    "I admit I''m a jerk!" Ryan quietly took a hand of the girl, "Nat, don''t leave me, okay?"


    Natalie bit her lip lightly, he seemed to choose himself? I don''t know why, I suddenly felt relaxed, but then I thought that things didn''t end so easily.


    She didn''t want to make any cover-ups, nor did she want to play those roundabout guessing games, she pulled her hand back and said directly, "Ryan Jenkins, you must give me a guarantee!"


    "What guarantee?" Ryan frowned slightly.


    "Promise that there will be no next time! Guarantee to sever all contacts with Nicole Kidman!" Natalie''s tone didn''t seem to have any room for negotiation, "If we don''t, we... we... stop here..."


    "Nate, I really want to promise you, but I don''t want to lie to you..."


    "Isn''t you fooling me enough?" Natalie suddenly raised her chin, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time seemed to erupt.


    "I..." Ryan lowered his eyelids now that the sophistry was useless. "I can''t give up Nicole?"


    "Is that going to give up on me?" Natalie''s mouth trembled slightly.


    "I won''t give up on you either."


    "Ha..." Natalie smiled suddenly, with unremarkable sarcasm, "It turns out that you don''t have any regrets or reflections. The so-called door-to-door apology is just to make me acquiesce in the existence of another woman and let me stay willingly By your side, do you have a chance to hug the left and the right? Don''t tell me you don''t think so, Ryan Jenkins!"


    "Why do you do this? Why do you want me to do this?" Natalie''s voice is getting colder and colder, and her heart is getting harder, "Ten years. I just found out that I don''t know you at all, I''m in your mind. what¡­"


    "Nate!" Ryan had just interrupted the sarcasm, and Natalie put her entire face in front of his eyes, "Frankly speaking, Ryan, have you ever loved me?"


    "Of course!" Ryan nodded without hesitation.


    "Do you love me? Is it Natalie Hirschle?" All of Natalie''s depression broke out. During this time, a lot of suspicion was thrown out, "Tell me, Ryan Jenkins! Except! Outside Nicole Kidman. Do you have any other women? Don¡¯t tell me that I don¡¯t, I¡¯m not that stupid! A big Hollywood figure like you, as long as you beckon, many women will eagerly climb into your bed. !"


    "Drew Barrymore? Paris Hilton? Kate Winslet? Gwyneth Paltrow?"


    People who are proud, calm and smart. There will also be times when she loses her mind. Now Natalie seems to have verified this, "Or... Catherine Isabel?"


    Ryan shook his head slowly.


    Then, the sarcasm sounded again. "Ha, you are more noble than I thought, who are you? Victoria''s Secret Angel? Don''t think I don''t know that you like long-legged blonde..."


    Here. Natalie''s face became paler, "Charlize Theron! Right? I heard the rumors about her and you from the cast of the Lord of the Rings!"


    Although he wanted to continue shaking his head, Ryan hesitated and nodded slowly and resolutely. Now that the incident has broken out, there is no point in concealing it.


    "It turns out that ten years have not penetrated a single person''s heart." Natalie stepped back and slowly placed her right hand between her neck. "If it is possible, I really hope that it was another person who knocked down at the beginning! "


    "Nate!" Ryan stepped forward, "I..."


    Before he could speak, Natalie pushed him back, "Ryan, do you love me? You just want to possess me!"


    She released her hand from her neck and pointed to the silver-white pendant. "During this time, I want to understand what I have been unable to figure out in the past few years. Obviously there are other characters to choose from. Why do you have to encourage? I play Matilda? You love Matilda that you created, not me!"


    "This is Natalie Portman, not Matilda!"


    Then, Natalie pulled off the pendant on her neck and fell heavily to the ground. The sun-shaped smiling face made of white copper fell on the hard marble floor with a crisp sound.


    After moving a few steps, Ryan slowly squatted down and picked up the pendant. The silver-white pendant was already deformed, and the sun-shaped smiling face disappeared completely...


    He drew the drawings himself, and rushed around in Old China Town several times before ordering a finished pendant. The gift he gave her for the first time was thrown away as rubbish.


    The pendant in Ryan''s hand, UU read Natalie was stunned for a moment. After all, this is her favorite accessory. Her hand trembled, and the reluctance and hidden weakness in her heart seemed to look up, but Thinking about what the other person was doing, she was once again shrouded in a hard shell.


    "Please leave here, Mr. Jenkins, otherwise, I will call the police!"


    Although knowing that he was self-inflicted, Ryan''s hand holding the pendant was visibly trembling.


    "Matilda has no connection with Natalie Portman. I can distinguish reality from the movie." Ryan turned and walked towards the door, holding the pendant and raising her hand over her shoulder, "Nat , You... shouldn''t throw it!"


    The current method seems to be unable to solve it at all.


    After all, he is not James Cameron or Larry Ellison, and he has no experience in dealing with this situation. When he went straight out, Ryan gradually gained some enlightenment. To be continued. .

 Chapter 451： beginning

    "It looks like you didn''t talk very well with Nat."


    Tyler was lying on the seat of the car, looking through the window at the lively red carpet not far away, but said something irrelevant, "Why are you not sad at all, Ryan."


    "Sad?" Long fingers rubbed the pendant in his palm, Ryan sighed softly, "Honey, I''m a man, do you want me to cry like you did when you were a kid?"


    Even if the emotional world is in danger of collapsing, he will not feel sorry for himself with his temperament. Since he has made a choice, why should he regret it?


    To be sad is a woman''s choice, and it doesn''t help change the direction of things.


    Besides, he still has a huge plan to complete, there are secret enemies waiting for an opportunity, and many people are waiting to see him unlucky. There is still time and opportunity to reverse the current situation.


    Natalie fell the pendant, which also made him understand a truth, and sometimes humility may not be a good choice.


    "Hey Hey hey!"


    A little hand shook in front of his eyes suddenly, and Taylor shouted in dissatisfaction, "Ryan, you are lost again!"


    "We should get out of the car."


    News from the bodyguard outside the car that there were no reporters nearby, Ryan pulled the little girl up, pushed the car door, and walked into the side door of the theater.


    Bringing a minor is not very suitable for walking on the red carpet. Although it will definitely attract complaints from the surprise executives, Ryan chose to quietly walk into the premiere theater of "X-Men".


    From the script creation to the characterization of this movie, Ryan gave a lot of opinions. Unlike the previous life, copyright is no longer a trouble for Marvel. According to Ryan¡¯s plan, "X-Men" will become the entire Marvel series. The official opening work, the content has also been adjusted accordingly.


    Probably the crew is still outside to deal with the media, Ryan turned around, but did not meet the x-men. But I met Leonardo and his good friend Toby Maguire.


    "Ryan, you look completely okay." Xiao Li rarely took a female companion.


    "That little injury is no longer a hindrance." Ryan paused lightly for the injured foot that could not do violent activities, and then looked at Leonardo''s side. "Hi, Toby, it''s been a long time since I saw you."


    "I heard Leon said that you were injured in the filming. I wanted to go to Los Angeles to see you. It just happened that you were attending the premiere." Toby Maguire looked a little restrained, "So, I asked Leon to bring me here. side."


    Toby Maguire¡¯s words were obviously a little confused, Ryan smiled, and just about to say something, Tyler beside him took his hand. Whispered, "I saw the fairy Paris, Ryan, I''m going to play with her."


    "Yeah~"


    "Goodbye, Leon." The little girl beckoned to the other side. Just walked away.


    "Taylor is always very active." Leonardo said, looking at the girl''s leaving back. "She seems to have grown a lot taller."


    "Girls develop early." In the past six months or so, Taylor has grown two inches, obviously taller than his peers.


    After discussing a few things about the little girl learning music, Leonardo changed the subject, and he brought Toby Maguire over, obviously something happened.


    "Ryan. I heard that Marvel Pictures is preparing for Spider-Man."


    As soon as his voice fell, Stan Lee''s voice came from the other side, "Mr. DiCaprio''s news is very well-informed. Are you interested in this character?"


    "Mr. Lee."


    Several people greeted him, and Leonardo said with a smile, "One Ethan Hunter is enough."


    After becoming a first-line movie star. His eyes naturally focused on Oscar, which is Hollywood''s highest honor after all.


    "Leon, in fact, the script has been finalized." Ryan thought for a while, some things don''t need to be kept secret. "After confirming the director, we are ready to formally approve the project."


    With that, eyes drifted from Toby Maguire''s body inadvertently.


    The script was written by the surprising screenwriter, and it was also forwarded to Ryan. It is not much different from the previous life. The theme is still that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, the content... It is still super "**si male" vs. Gao Fu and handsome. ''Little Green Devil''.


    At present, Marvel Pictures is actively contacting the director. The candidates for the time being are David Fincher, Ridley Scott and Sam Remy.


    As for James Cameron, who was the most enthusiastic in the past, now in addition to the production of "Dark Angels", all his energy has been invested in the development of new 3D equipment.


    Besides, without a budget of 200 million US dollars, who would dare to find a studio tyrant to make a movie?


    In his previous life, Toby Maguire finally got the role of Peter Parker, which was recommended by Leonardo DiCaprio, and his ordinary appearance was also suitable for the setting of Spider-Man.


    Sure enough, Leonardo laughed, seeming to be joking, "Ryan, Stan, Toby have been a Spider-Man fan since childhood..."


    "Leon, we don''t need to be so polite between us." Ryan patted his arm and glanced at Stan Lee. The old man obviously had no objection, and then said, "After confirming the director, Toby will definitely receive an audition. invite."


    Now Toby Maguire is barely a second-line actor. Choosing him can save a lot of pay. I believe that surprise will also have corresponding considerations.


    "Are you talking about Spider-Man?"


    When the blonde girl holding Taylor came over, she happened to hear Ryan''s discussion. The eyes of this fairy dressed in pink lit up instantly, "May I ask who the heroine is? Mary? Jane or Gwen. ? Stacey?"


    "Mary Jane!"


    Without waiting for everyone to speak, Miss Taylor Swift, who has always been well informed, gave the answer.


    "That''s a pure New York girl!" Paris Hilton almost jumped in front of Ryan, "Is the heroine confirmed? Ryan, how about giving me an audition? I have been in California art during this time. The academy¡¯s performance is very good, you can ask the teachers of the academy!"


    Since the popularity of "Charlie Girl", she entered the California Academy of Art under the instruction of Ryan to study systematically. Although there are some turbulences from time to time, it is better than her previous performance. Too much.


    This pink fairy is not an idiot, and then turned to the father of Spider-Man who also has the right to speak, "Stan, I am an authentic New York girl, always give me a chance to audition, right?"


    I''ve probably heard of these friends around Ryan. Stan Lee glanced here, "As long as Ryan agrees, I have no opinion."


    Mary Jane is also a vase anyway, Ryan nodded altogether, and warned at the same time, "Parlie, I can only provide you with a fair playing opportunity. Whether you can get this role is up to you."


    If she can''t compete with Kirsten Dunst with her own recommendation, she can only blame herself.


    Oh... Yes, the child star who grew up may not be interested in this role.


    There are more and more people in the theater hall. In order to build momentum, Surprise Pictures has invited a large number of celebrities. At the same time, major film companies have also come to many high-level executives. Although the two episodes of Blade Warrior have been successful, both It¡¯s not a big hit. Whether or not the amazing superhero can create superman and Batman-like brilliance remains to be confirmed by the market.


    "Ryan, I''m so happy to meet again here."


    The old man with gray hair hugged him affectionately, and Ryan smiled and said, "Gandalf put down his sword and cane, left Middle-earth and became the Magneto King."


    "I didn''t expect that "X-Men" would be screened earlier than "Lord of the Rings." Ian McLean sighed and continued, "Unfortunately you left early. When the crew was disbanded, we Each of the ring guard team tattooed a fairy tale on their wrist, but you are missing."


    "It''s a pity." Ryan shook his head casually.


    After speaking a few more words with other actors, Ryan noticed the young actress behind and greeted him, "Hey, Kate, how does it feel to be a superhero?"


    "Not bad!" Catherine Isabel, who plays the little naughty, laughed, "I met Uncle Cameron a few days ago, and he asked me to remind you, don''t forget to go to the wedding next month."


    "Definitely." Ryan nodded.


    Few people in Hollywood who can get ahead are idiots. This Miss Catherine Isabel clearly understands what she can rely on today.


    The X-Men has assembled a huge cast. Although Charlize Theron, who plays Jean Gray, lacks first-line star actors, such a large number has attracted the attention of many people.


    In particular, Patrick Stewart and Ian McLean are both old actors. They have a wide range of contacts in the circle, and there are quite a lot of people who come just to support them.


    It is a pity that Ryan did not see Charlize Theron. South Africa Diamonds has received a new play and is filming nervously.


    Regarding the success of "X-Men", Ryan is not worried, even if the box office can''t compare with the Matrix series, superhero movies are too obvious for the sales of peripheral products.


    The surprise of this life is different from the previous life. With the exception of the TV copyright of "Spider-Man", almost all of the copyright has been collected. The movie box office plus the sales of comics dolls and other peripheral products, it is not difficult to achieve profitability at all.


    What troubles Ryan most is how to control the cost of the film. "X-Men" is a standard group show. Now actors including Hugh Jackman, the pay is not high. If this film is a big success Up?


    When the time comes, the actors will definitely ask for an increase in the film pay. With so many people, the production cost will definitely pile up into an astronomical figure.


    These are still headaches for the negotiators of Marvel Pictures. There is really no other way but to compress the remuneration and work **** the split.


    "The movie hasn''t started yet, are you thinking about making money?"


    Sitting in the auditorium, Taylor wrinkled his nose, "You are really a standard businessman."


    Ryan smiled, did not say anything, and waited for the start of the first part of the entire Big Surprise series! ()

 Chapter 452： Surprise series

    This film is produced by Marvel Pictures**, and Jenkins Pictures is responsible for its distribution. The beginning of the film is the latest title designed and produced by Pixar Studios for Jenkins Pictures. The two men and two women who cannot see their faces come from four different directions Coming together, four hands of different sizes were held tightly in one place. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    The meaning of the title is very simple, representing the four founders of Jenkins Pictures.


    Then, Ryan had seen it countless times in his previous life, and he couldn''t be more familiar with the opening of Marvel Comics.


    The world of Marvel comics is huge and complicated, and there are multiple parallel spaces at the same time. The relationship between the characters in the comics is even more chaotic. If the movie completely copied the settings of the comics, it would definitely be a disaster.


    The entry point of "X-Men" was selected in the darkest era. The first person to enter the field of vision was Eric Lanchel. Magneto appeared in the Nazi concentration camp as a teenager.


    Generally speaking, the opening scene has not changed much. Faced with the separation from his mother, the young Eric exploded with the ability to control the magnetic field, but the final shot is no longer the Nazi incinerator, but on the balcony of the dark building. The same shadowy figure stood.


    Although it is a group play, there are also primary and secondary points in group play. One of the most critical characters in this movie is naturally a little mischievous.


    Originally, Marvel Pictures¡¯ favorite candidate was Natalie, but was rejected by the Long Island Girl on the excuse of school tension. Later, James Cameron¡¯s relative, Catherine Isabel, was born.


    After a speech by Jean Gray, the pair of good friends who fell in love with each other and entangled their grievances for a lifetime performed their first rivalry.


    "Eric, what are you doing here?" Professor X in a wheelchair stopped Magneto.


    "My old friend." Magneto''s entire face was covered in the shadow of the brim of his hat, "Why do you ask these questions that you already know the answer to."


    "Don''t give up human beings, my brother." Professor X showed his position in a few sentences, "You have to have faith in them."


    "Confident?" Magneto raised his head. A sharp look flashed in his eyes, "Charles, have you forgotten what happened in 62? Forgot that they used cannons and missiles against us in the Caribbean? Forgot what they did to Ruiwen?"


    "If it weren''t for your confusion, Ruiwen would not leave me." Charles still spoke slowly. "Nor will encounter those dangers later."


    "What about your legs? Did you forget that it was a human agent''s bullet. It made you now..."


    Before Magneto finished speaking, Professor X interrupted him. "Eric, you did this. I... was accidentally injured by you."


    "Yes...I did it." Magneto hesitated for a while, and said still. "I''m sorry, Charles."


    "That''s all over." Professor X said with a pun. "That''s all over, Eric, mankind has evolved."


    "Have you evolved into a mutant?" Magneto turned and walked downstairs, "Don''t disturb me, Charles. I just fight for the survival of our race!"


    Under Ryan''s suggestion, Magneto''s setting in the movie has a stronger taste of both righteousness and evil, instead of being a pure villain. In some ways, it is closer to a protector who fights for the benefit of mutants.


    This movie is not only the opening of the X-Men, but also sets up some corresponding topics, leading to the following series of surprise plans.


    The early resolution of the copyright issue has made Surprise more open to the whole series. The way of superheroes in the past life is undoubtedly a good way to trigger the topic.


    Of course, this is just the beginning. There is still a lot of uncertainty in the subsequent actors and scripts. This kind of chaos is more reflected in the lines.


    Wolverine and Xiaoqi met the saber-toothed tiger. Logan was knocked down on the front cover of the car by the other''s sudden attack. The saber-toothed tiger pulled the metal nameplate from his neck.


    "My brother, I didn''t expect that you still have the dog tag of the Roaring Commando." The saber-toothed tiger, who was talking urnly, with obvious mockery on his face, pinched Wolverine by the neck and said, "Join us, Logan, even if You once fought side by side with Steve Rogers and fought for the free world, so what can you do? Can you become a national hero like Captain America? In their eyes, you will always be a monster..."


    "What are you talking about?" Wolverine doesn''t remember these things after his amnesia. "Do you know me? Do you know my past?"


    In the setting of surprise, Wolverine has experienced World War I and World War II, and once participated in Captain America¡¯s Roaring Commando. It is completely reasonable. After all, copyright is no longer a problem, and collisions can produce base emotions... Ah no, it¡¯s passion.


    As for ¡®my brother¡¯, it can be understood as either a real brother or a mutant brother named by Eric. Anyway, love and kill each other...


    When Ryan remembered his previous life, after Marvel changed his name to Marvel, the Three Views became more and more problematic, and it became commonplace to engage in foundation.


    The plot of brothers abuse me thousands of times, and I treat my brothers like first love, exists in almost every movie.


    Another highlight in the movie is the strange relationship between Ruiwen, Charles and Eric, which is occasionally mentioned in the language, but is always obscure.


    After the maiden kidnapped the congressman who advocated severe restrictions on mutants, she returned to the base camp of Magneto. Before changing the congressman''s genes, Todd Todd made a proposal. (Pingnan Literature Net)


    "Since Professor X is always against us, why not kill him."


    "Before you kill him, I will kill you first!" The magic girl standing next to Magneto warned sharply, "Without him, there would be no current magic girl!"


    "Professor X did more for mutants than you can imagine." These are the words of Magneto.


    Compared with the messy world view in the comics, the movie has a clear theme. There is another group of people in the world-mutants, who have super powers due to genetic mutations. Unfortunately, there are also super powers that come with them. Loneliness and loneliness, and isolation from the entire society.


    Each mutant has a unique journey, has its own standpoint and method of life. Although the movie goes straight to the story and does not have too many complicated backgrounds, the attitude of Professor X and Magneto towards ordinary humans is undoubtedly the best. Proof.


    Professor x is relatively gentle. It is advocated that mutants use their abilities appropriately, can integrate into human society, and coexist peacefully with ordinary humans.


    Magneto is more intense, for the benefit of the mutant race. He can do whatever it takes. Even sacrificing the interests of a single mutant.


    From another perspective, Professor X is a bit like Martin Luther King. Magneto is Malcolm Aix, both of them are strong and have firm beliefs, but they have taken different paths. A pair of good friends is also destined to fall in love and kill each other.


    Of course, in this movie, the most important roles are Wolverine and Little Naughty, Storm Girl, Laser Eye and other characters, which are more like soy sauce fans...


    Another important role is Jean Gray. The important member of the X-Men played by Charlize Theron does not seem to be very eye-catching. However, after the Magneto conspiracy failed, while playing chess with the visiting Professor X in the prison, a conversation revealed her extremely important position in the latter two parts.


    "Charles, why do you want to limit the ability of the piano?" Magneto played plastic chess. "You are restricting the future of mutants. You clearly know that Qin is the most powerful one among us."


    "I don''t deny this." Teacher x stared at the chessboard in front of him and said as a reminder, "Unlimited power will only bring destruction, Eric, I told you ten years ago that there is hidden in Qin''s soul. With another shadow, once released, you and I will not be able to restrain her if we join forces again!"


    "The current Qin is gentle, understands humility and sacrifice, that shadow is blocked by me, I have felt her power, she can only destroy!"


    The previous life was probably due to the change of directors. Jean Gray¡¯s sudden transition in the third part was too blunt, and there were enough clues left in the first two parts, and then it seemed a lot more natural.


    Of course, unlike his previous life, Brian Singer directly signed a trilogy contract with Marvel Pictures. In the face of that high breach of contract, he would probably not make an unwise choice.


    No matter how the movie is changed, it must conform to the current mainstream values. Professor x destroyed Magneto¡¯s conspiracy to use mischief and saved the heads of the world and New York as a whole. Human society has returned to tranquility, and mischief and Wolverine are back. Back to mutant school.


    The movie also left enough suspense, such as the topic of Jean Gray, such as the magical girl who became a member of Parliament, such as Logan''s memories that flashed from time to time.


    "Is this over?" Taylor was about to stand up, and Ryan pressed her back. "Honey, wait a while."


    The first part of "X-Men" is indeed over, but this is the beginning of the Marvel series. After the subtitles were over, Marvel Pictures'' first official movie egg appeared.


    In the mutant school, Laser Eye, Storm Girl, Wolverine, and Jean Gray discussed how to show their abilities in front of people so as not to cause excessive panic.


    "Scott, do you mean that even if we get beaten if the other party is just ordinary people, we have to endure?" It was the grumpy Wolverine who was speaking, and he patted the table again. "From another perspective, if ordinary humans are in danger and need rescue, should we take action?"


    "I think New York has found its protector." Jean Gray suddenly put a newspaper on the table in front of everyone, "Which of you have seen this little spider? Is it our kind?"


    The camera gave a large close-up of the newspaper. A man with a hood and a red and blue tights was crouching on the smooth glass of a skyscraper in a strange posture. The spider on his chest was very eye-catching.


    Because there is no final candidate for Peter Parker, Marvel Studios simply adopted such a method to remind Spider-Man fans that your favorite is coming!


    In fact, Brian Singer, the director of "X-Men", designed a scene of the confrontation between Spider-Man and the X-Men during the filming. He put the stuntman Scott Lava in Spider-Man clothes. , Inadvertently broke into the mutant school, had a head-on conflict with Laser Eye, Storm Girl and Jean Gray, and then fled in a hurry.


    This scene did not appear in the movie, but was included in the DVD discs that will be released later. ()

 Chapter 453： Not bad response

    "Unlike comic characters, the movie version of "X-Men" bids farewell to the typical American heroism and fully interprets the importance of team strength. Every mutant is not perfect, although all of them have unique skills. They have their own weaknesses, and only teamwork is the magic weapon for heroes to win!"


    "This movie is full of flowing beauty and poetic imagination. It has considerable vitality and tension, and the plot is also very tense, exciting and crazy. It is definitely a good science fiction movie!"


    Although Marvel comics is still not enough to read compared to the main competitor comics, "Blade Warrior" has been released in two theaters. Although it did not achieve super sales, it also served the purpose of warming up the market. "X-Men" After the strong landing in North America, it became the focus of the entertainment media.


    "The narrative of the film is composed and introverted and calm. The whole story is closely connected with the original but has a unique system. The plot is intense and exciting without losing interest. There are sometimes humorous, well-designed lines interspersed with it, and the proportion of drama and humor The location is just right, and some flashbacks are appropriately sentimental. There is not much editing that interferes with the audience''s attention. The scheduling and control of the scene and atmosphere all show the confidence of Surprise Pictures."


    The lines often mentioned by several main characters in the movie naturally attracted the attention of the media.


    "From the "X-Men", we can vaguely get a glimpse of the ambitions and plans of Marvel Comics. Perhaps Ryan Jenkins''s full support has given them strong confidence. Judging from the news currently available, "X-War "The Police" will be the beginning of a series of superhero movies in Marvel Comics!"


    "Different from the chaotic world structure of the original comics, the screenwriter of Surprise resets the relationship between the world and the characters based on the basic structure of the comics. Many new concepts are shown to the audience, and the movie even jumps out of the X-Men series. , Mentioned Captain America and his Roaring Commando, as well as the egg part at the end. It showed a not particularly clear concept of Spider-Man."


    ""X-Men" has a suspenseful ending. Marvel Comics will definitely launch follow-up works to answer the suspense in the film one by one to the audience. Now what we want to ask is, the next super Who will the hero be? Steve Rogers or Peter Parker?"


    Comic fans can be said to be the basis of superhero movies, but surprising superheroes really want to show the charm of Superman and Batman. They must go beyond the limitations of the original comics and show the paradoxical reality for the vast majority of viewers. world.


    "From different angles, "X-Men" shows different charms. For example, in terms of shooting technology. The perfect combination of close-ups of characters, close-up and long-range panoramas, etc. it shows, makes the audience immersive, that is From the description of the environment, the audience is deeply attracted, and they are all breathtaking."


    "From the perspective of the lens language, it can not be said that it is a highlight of this movie. The storm female super ability is to manipulate the weather at will. When the mood changes, the weather changes reflect her real thoughts and feelings. In addition, the background music The production of, this description is also vividly expressed in characters such as Professor X and Wolverine."


    "The storyline of "X-Men" has been re-set, leaving enough suspense for the subsequent works in the plot. At the same time, it is exciting. It is not just speculation that leaves the audience, but also the "X-Men" series and the entire The expectation of the superhero series has laid the foundation for long-term investment in filming in the future to obtain more benefits.


    As the prelude to the Big Surprise series, "X-Men" focused on the most advanced movie special effects technology. And this type of superhero movie is undoubtedly the most hated work by film critics full of literary and artistic style.


    Even people all over the world know that movies are aimed at the market and commerce, and visual effects are the biggest selling point. They will still interpret them in detail from an artistic point of view, and then make the most disdainful voices.


    "Can''t watch it! The movie is so disappointing! I have to regret to say that all I saw are a bunch of special effects, and there are not so good variants, but a certain physical function, or legendary Superpower... This kind of variant is too mechanized and lacks true imagination, and the story lacks basic logic and suspense. In short, everything is far from the problem of''human'' that I thought it was meant to express. ."


    Regarding this situation, whether it is Ryan or Marvel''s senior management, they have long expected it. Today, when the influence of film critics is declining, it is good to ignore it.


    In contrast, they pay more attention to the emerging information dissemination position of the Internet. If Ryan would invest a considerable amount of money a few years ago to allow the public relations team to wander among certain film critics, now He would rather invest this part of the money in online publicity and guidance.


    Before the movie was released, Surprise set up an official website specifically for "X-Men", and the forums here became a gathering place for fans to express their opinions.


    "Did you notice the dialogue between Professor X and Magneto at the beginning of the movie? They mentioned the missiles on the Caribbean Sea in 1962. The two did fight side by side in the comics, but what happened in 1962?"


    Someone immediately followed and responded, "The major incident in the Caribbean Sea in 1962 was also related to missiles. Isn¡¯t it the Cuban Missile Crisis? Could it be that Professor X and Magneto were involved in this major incident? Will the movie have anything to do with this?"


    "I guess it should not. If there are some, it will be a memory. What I am more interested in is the relationship between Professor X, Magneto and Devil Girl. Do they have a love triangle in the new setting? With Charles, he was paralyzed after being accidentally injured by Magneto...God, the comics are messy enough, and I am surprised that I have to reset it!"


    "It is precisely because the comics are too messy that the movie has to be reset. I think the current setting is very good. I believe there will be explanations in subsequent movies."


    "Actually, you all overlooked one point. In the opening scene, the young Magneto was knocked out. On the balcony of the building behind him, there was a ghastly figure standing. That guy looked like the man behind the mess of the world. , I guess this unknown character will definitely appear in a certain movie, maybe he is still a super villain."


    In addition to the speculation about the lines that left suspense, the other two superheroes mentioned in the movie have also become the focus of fan discussion.


    "It turns out that Wolverine also participated in Captain America''s Roaring Commando. I really want to see Logan and Steve Rogers fighting side by side!"


    "I remember an account in a comic that Wolverine participated in World War I and World War II, and once fought for the free world, but I didn''t expect it to be a member of Captain America."


    "In that case, Captain America is going to be made into a movie? He is one of the core characters of Marvel Comics heroes. I don''t know when I can see it in the theater.


    "Captain America may have to wait for a while. According to the Easter eggs at the end of "X-Men", the next surprising one should be "Spider-Man"..."


    "I really want to see Ryan star in Peter Parker..."


    "Don''t harm our Ryan, do you know how difficult it is to get an Oscar for Best Actor in a superhero movie?"


    "Ryan is too handsome for Peter Parker''s setting..."


    "Yes! Ryan is not suitable to play Spider-Man, even if he wants to be a superhero, he has to wait for the best actor Oscar..."


    "Blame the film academy! If it weren''t for their stubbornness and conservativeness, Ryan would have won this figurine long ago!"


    "The Academy and Oscar have always treated Ryan unfairly!"


    "We want to denounce the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and let them make up for what they owe Ryan!"


    "If we don''t make it up, we will boycott any of their shows in the future..."


    The final building was completely crooked. Although guided by professionals, the biggest voice on the forum became support for Ryan''s best actor Oscar and protested against the conservativeness of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.


    Although the major media groups want to suppress the Internet, the decline of traditional media cannot be avoided. The influence of the Internet is increasing. The spread of some speeches is astonishing. It is impossible for any company or any consortium to control the Internet. Is the best way.


    From Ryan''s point of view, the pattern and world view shown in "X-Men" is still too small, but this is the opening work after all, and it is impossible to rush out of the earth and into the galaxy.


    Whether in terms of the box office share of the producer or a series of promotional and marketing methods, the first week of the commercial production is the most important. If the box office encounters Waterloo in the first week, then the film will follow There is not much hope.


    Sitting in front of the notebook Ryan hung up the phone, his face was full of depression, looked at the script outline of a small part of "Shrek" written in the document, and pressed directly irritably Shut down button.


    There are not many people or things that can make him, a guy with a harder heart, become so depressed.


    The call was made by Nicole, who returned to Los Angeles. The Australian girl did not know where she learned about him and Charlize Theron. The resentment and determination during the call can be imagined.


    Knowing that there is not much that he has a substantial relationship with Charlize, and that there are very few people who can talk to Nicole and take the initiative to mention it, Ryan couldn''t help walking to the window and looking in the direction of Long Island.


    Nat, why do you need to do this? Are you happy to see Nicole getting angry and her own bad luck?


    With Natalie''s cleverness and ability, it is not difficult to pass the news to Nicole''s ears through some concealed means.


    Ryan is not a guess. The most trusted person around Natalie is from the kk economic company, but in fact they are all people arranged by George. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 454： Follow-up promotion plan

    Maybe time is the best solution to everything?


    Faced with the current situation, Ryan once again thought about delaying, but soon realized that time has never been shifted by human will, it has not resolved the previous conflict, nor can it solve the current problem at all.


    For other Hollywood stars, getting drunk, partying or inhaling something ecstatic can be a good way to forget their worries, but for Ryan, work is the best narcotics.


    Marvel Comics was one of the first companies he targeted. Unlike investing in companies purely for making money, Ryan¡¯s interest lies in the film industry. Surprising superhero movies from previous lives are one of his favorite series. If this series can create even more brilliant results in his hands, he will definitely be happy to see it.


    Will this "X-Men", which has changed too much from the previous life, be accepted by the market?


    Judging from the number of viewers and the enthusiasm for watching the movie on the first weekend, the vast majority of people are extremely interested in the new setting of the film, and also show certain expectations for the subsequent movies.


    On Monday morning, Ryan appeared in the Marvel Comics conference room on time, sat quietly on the outermost periphery, acting as an audience, listening to these professionals'' analysis of the past three days and follow-up of the follow-up propaganda.


    "On the first Wednesday, 3750 theaters, "X-Men" won the box office of 61.51 million US dollars." The film''s production manager Kevin Feiqi was quite excited, "The actual box office of the film far exceeds Up to our expectation of $45 million."


    "Flap! Pop..."


    I don''t know who slapped the palm first, and then the applause in the meeting room became a piece of cake.


    It is difficult for people who have not experienced the most difficult period of Marvel Comics to understand their current excitement.


    Five years ago, the entire North American comics industry ushered in a cold winter. Even giants like Marvel Comics had to file for bankruptcy protection. If someone hadn''t invested money in time, how could the rapid development come from?


    Many people''s eyes fell on Ryan. Although this young man has never interfered with the normal operation of the company, it was his funds and genius suggestions that pulled Marvel Comics back from the cliff and reproduced the glory of Marvel Comics with miraculous speed.


    The huge box office success of "X-Men" in the first week also gave them full confidence in Ryan''s plans for the entire series of movies.


    "Everyone, it''s not time to celebrate." Young Kevin Fitch kept a clear head, "Don''t forget, the production cost of this movie is 70 million US dollars, if you include all other expenses. Total. The investment has reached 100 million U.S. dollars, and now we have not even recovered the cost."


    "If nothing else, the movie''s box office in the second week will see a major decline." He continued, "What we have to do now is how to grab more box office numbers in the second week..."


    The meeting ended before it lasted too long, and Ryan was taken to his office by Avi Aradella.


    "Ryan, I want to expand the amazing screenwriter team."


    After the secretary filled the coffee for the two, Avi Allard said, "The amazing screenwriter team has to deal with comics. It also has to deal with movies. It''s a bit thin."


    "That''s something you are thinking about." Ryan slowly sipped his coffee and waved his hand and said, "To be honest. Avi, are you looking at my screenwriter team?"


    "Nowadays, good screenwriters are not easy to find." What Avi Allard said is also true.


    The screenwriting model that Ryan promoted has always existed in Hollywood, but Jenkins Pictures and Flower Pictures continued to succeed. But this model has been thoroughly carried forward.


    In the words of some critics, Ryan not only completely reduced to a part of the Hollywood pipeline, but also became an important propeller of this pipeline.


    As long as it can make money. There will be countless people imitating to follow up, and other producers have also recruited a large number of screenwriters, making this extremely low-ranking work type in the crew have a vague tendency to turn over, and there are successful works or screenwriters who have participated in successful works. It has undoubtedly become a sought-after item.


    The screenwriting team of Jenkins Pictures inevitably lost some people, but just like Pixar, who is always digging a wall, the core and backbone are always there. Using the old model to bring the new model can add fresh blood to the team .


    In particular, Ryan fulfilled his original promise, as long as the screenwriter who completed the contract and quit, he would personally write a letter of recommendation based on the actual situation, which also makes Jenkins Pictures the favorite place for screenwriters who want to make their debut.


    Tina Fei of Jenkins Pictures is the envy of all new screenwriters.


    She entered Jenkins Pictures as an ordinary screenwriter. With her talent, she quickly became the head of the entire screenwriting team, and now she has gone one step further and became one of the most popular reality shows this summer¡ªAmerican Idol¡ª ¡ªThe producer.


    From an obscure little person to a powerful producer, she has only used it for a few years?


    Nothing is more convincing than a living, real example.


    Everyone knows that Jenkins Pictures has gathered a group of very potential screenwriters, and Avi Allard will give his idea to this. Ryan is not surprised at all.


    Ryan happily responded to Avi Allard''s request. After all, this is something that is good for him. Besides, the most indispensable thing in Hollywood is people with dreams.


    Compared with other companies, Jenkins Pictures, whether it is opportunities or benefits, is more attractive to these people.


    In any case, a good story is the foundation of the movie, and the degree of excitement of the story depends on the play of the screenwriters.


    Today''s Hollywood movies have conquered most parts of the world. No matter how big the cultural differences are, Hollywood productions can conquer the audience, and it can always meet the needs of most people.


    Hollywood has attracted countless talented people to join the film industry with high salaries. University film schools have opened one after another. Many screenwriters have master degrees. In order to write good screenplays, these people almost use the art of storytelling. The research is thorough, even from the psychology of mythology to big data to analyze the psychology of the audience.


    In fact, from another perspective, Hollywood screenwriters may not be the most successful commercial writing in the world.


    In the eyes of producers, whether a movie is profitable is always the most important criterion. Producers who invest in movies for the sake of art may have them, but in Hollywood, which is highly commercialized, it can never be counted with a few fingers. .


    Not long after Ryan left Marvel, Avi Allard held a press conference in the banquet hall of the Waldorf Astoria, officially announcing that Marvel Comics¡¯ next superhero on the screen will be Spider-Man", once Sam Remy, who filmed "Ghosts", will be in charge of the movie''s guide.


    Although the eggs of "X-Men" have heralded the coming of the "Spider-Man" movie, the official has never made any relevant remarks. After the Marvel Comics press conference, the news quickly spread.


    You know, the popularity of Spider-Man in the Marvel series is no worse than Superman and Batman. Peter Parker has a large number of fans, including famous characters like James Cameron.


    At the same time, Surprise also launched a voting campaign on the official website of "X-Men" and some paper media, which attracted a large number of people to participate.


    Someone chose Professor X because his ability was almost incomprehensible, but someone immediately put forward a rebuttal. When he faced the Magneto wearing a helmet, he had nothing to do.


    There is another candidate to choose Wolverine, but he was too much restrained by Magneto, and he will not be the strongest either...


    To refute Magneto, he believes that when he enters an environment where there is no metal, his combat effectiveness is directly zero.


    Anyway, the noisy voting activities further aroused the public, especially young people''s heated discussion about "X-Men", which caused many people to return to the theater.


    Many people have noticed the dialogue between Magneto Wang and Professor X at the end of the film. Although there is no picture as evidence, the name Jean Gray also occupies an important position among the strongest options.


    Whether you choose this time to announce the official establishment of "Spider-Man" or the follow-up voting activities, Surprise is for the needs of publicity and profit.


    Staying in New York, Ryan, who was turned away by Natalie once again, has been observing the amazed movements. This comic company with a long history has been rejuvenated and has demonstrated excellent commercial operation methods.


    The direct result of this is that the box office drop of "X-Men" in the second week is far lower than market estimates.


    Following the box office of more than 61.5 million US dollars in the first Wednesday, Men" again received US$39.88 million in the 7 days of the second week. The box office successfully exceeded the US$100 million mark in two weeks.


    Since Jenkins Pictures has no overseas distribution rights, the overseas distribution of the film was handed over to 20th Century Fox, and it will not be long before it will appear in several important overseas film markets, once again embarking on the journey of making money.


    Taking advantage of the hot trend of the movie, Marvel Comics launched the latest "X-Men" comic series as a supplement to the movie content, including the past of Jean Gray and Magneto, and also mentioned 62 in a small amount of space. Some things that happened during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1991, etc.


    One of the most significant changes is the change of the entire series of "X-Men", from the original light yellow clothes to the black leather uniforms in the movie.


    Although there are still many old "X-Men" fans on the Internet complaining about the ugly black costumes, after the success of the film, it has been fully recognized by the younger generation. After all, in terms of its coolness, this series is inspired by the Matrix. The uniform, the old version of the original.


    After the box office was released in the second week, Ryan finished the outline of the script for "Shrek" and was ready to return to Los Angeles. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 455： Today i have a treat

    "We do have a big plan to reintegrate the world view and try our best to put the most famous superheroes in the same world."


    As soon as he left Los Angeles International Airport, Ryan was blocked in front of the car by a reporter, and had to answer a few "X-Men" and surprising questions, "Don''t ask about the specific plan, I won''t tell you, this is a commercial secret. "


    Ryan''s joke drew a lot of people''s laughter.


    "Mr. Jenkins, I wonder if you have seen the voice on the Internet? Many of your fans have suggested that you play Peter Parker." Another reporter asked.


    "I can only say sorry to them. "Spider-Man" will soon have a large-scale audition. I currently have a contract for "Star Wars Prequel" to fulfill."


    After speaking, Ryan got into the car, and the car quickly left the airport and drove onto the road to Beverly Hills.


    Looking back at the cars and motorcycles that followed, Ryan shook his head and didn''t intend to get rid of these guys. After all, he went straight home.


    When the car was about to enter Beverly Hills, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and Ryan glanced at the number displayed, which was from Jenkins Manor.


    "Ryan?" This was Lisa''s voice.


    "it''s me."


    "Where are you, can you come back soon?" The housekeeper seemed anxious.


    "Did you send anything?" Ryan was strange, Lisa was shrewd and capable, and she was a master at both hospitality and the affairs of the manor.


    "Nicole is here, now..." She paused, sighed and said, "You better come back quickly."


    Nicole is not very good-tempered. Run to Jenkins Manor in rage, shouldn''t...


    moment. A picture appeared in Ryan''s head. The manor was filled with gasoline cans. Nicole Kidman was standing at the entrance of the manor with a torch in his hand. After a few accusations of hate, he threw the torch into the gasoline can, Bei One of the most luxurious manors in Forli Hill was burned to ashes by the raging fire under the witness of countless TV broadcasts.


    The news spread all over the world. The overwhelming accusations and criticisms completely drowned the two of them...


    Okay, I think too much, even if Nicole hates herself to a certain extent, she shouldn''t make any excessive moves.


    As for the accusations and criticisms that appear after exposure, who cares about them!


    Thinking of these miscellaneous things, Ryan walked into the front hall of the villa, Lisa was walking around anxiously. There are several huge suitcases beside her.


    What is this doing?


    Ryan frowned and looked at the housekeeper.


    "Nicole brought it here." Lisa explained in the simplest terms, "It''s all the things you put in your original home..."


    "Nicole."


    As soon as the words were spoken, footsteps came from the stairs, slender and straight legs, long golden red hair and pale face. Appeared one after another.


    "Lisa, open the showcase." Nicole didn''t even look at Ryan. "Help me pack the little golden man and throw away all the pictures of me and that bastard."


    The golden figure who got through "Eileen Brockovich" has always been placed in the showcase here.


    Talking. She pulled a chair and walked to the wall facing the door of the villa. Standing on the chair, he quickly took off a huge picture frame and threw it on the floor with a loud bang.


    Countless cracks appeared on the glass mirror surface of the photo frame, splitting the two people in the group photo into countless pieces...


    Standing there in silence, Ryan didn''t say a word. He knew Nicole''s temper, and the anger that had accumulated for a long time would definitely be vented.


    "George, I have already fired the people you were looking for." Nicole said to herself, "Don''t do those boring things again."


    Mr. Bodyguard scratched his head very rarely, looking a little embarrassed.


    "Nicole, that has nothing to do with George..."


    Before he finished speaking, Ryan greeted a pair of cold light blue eyes, followed by a colder voice, "We are done, Ryan, from now on, we...no, it''s me and you, no Lovers again, no longer sisters and brothers! There is nothing to do with..."


    This sound seemed to come from the deepest part of the Antarctic, cold without a hint of color.


    "I regret it! Why did I pick you back from the Avenue of Stars? If I had another choice, I would never do the same thing!"


    Other words can be ignored, but this sentence struck Ryan''s heart, and he couldn''t help taking a few steps forward.


    "Do you really think so, Nicole?" He stared at the Australian girl, his brows tucked tightly, his face turned gloomy.


    Just like in 1994, the handsome face of the sun gradually shrouded in the shadows.


    "Gentle? Humble? Helpful? Ryan, do you think I don''t know what kind of person you are?" Nicole stared at him without showing any weakness, and a lot of negative words came out from her mouth, "Benefits first , Narrow-minded, ruthlessly turning your face... Now, do you want to deal with me as an enemy? Even if you do it, do you think I will be afraid of you? Will I still care about you?"


    Sure enough, the person who knows herself best in the world is Nicole. As she said, I am not a good person...


    The bitter smile on the corner of his mouth shattered the black shadow, Ryan sighed softly, "Nicole, you know, I won''t do anything against you..."


    "Really? Are you not doing enough?" The Australian girl patted the hanger next to her again, "disappear from me, Ryan, never again! Disappear! Now! Now!"


    Seeing a trace of redness oozing out of the slender, tender hands, Ryan quickly said, "I''m leaving now! I promise to disappear immediately!"


    Nicole knows him, and he knows Nicole as well. God knows what she will do when she is hysterical.


    Don''t show up for a short time. Without any hesitation, Ryan turned and walked outside the door.


    George on the other side was just about to follow, Nicole''s voice rang again, "George, you stay and help me pack things!"


    Turning his head, Ryan gave George a wink, and after leaving the villa, he walked out of the manor through the back door.


    Fortunately, the hat and sunglasses have not been taken off. This is the Beverly Hills where celebrities and celebrities are everywhere. Ryan is not worried about being watched, and slowly walks towards the outside of the villa, but on his pretty cheerful face in the past, it is full of words. Depressed.


    Although I had expected it before I returned to Los Angeles, how could it be possible if it was not depressed or irritable?


    Even if he has maintained a fairly calm head, in the end, he is still a normal person, with fantasies, depression, and full of greed in his heart.


    Similarly, Ryan is determined, giving up and unnecessary grief will not be his choice.


    What belongs to oneself will belong to oneself in the end, no one can **** it, and can''t escape it!


    He was muttering along the way, this is not only to inspire himself, but also to numb the faintly aching heart.


    When we reached the outskirts of Beverly Hills, pedestrians and vehicles gradually increased. Occasionally, we could see cold drink shops and burger shops on the side of the road, and moved to the middle of the sun and groaning belly, always reminding Rui Well, it''s time for lunch.


    Randomly found a fast food restaurant facing the street. Ryan was planning to buy a hamburger, but he searched all over his pockets. Apart from the checkbook he carried, not only the credit card, but even a dollar was not found.


    These things have always been under George''s control, and there is almost no place where he usually uses cash.


    I seem to have a tendency to transform into a life idiot?


    After making a mockery of himself, Ryan beckoned behind him, and when the bodyguard came over, he said, "John, did you bring cash?"


    Receiving the banknotes handed over by the bodyguard, Ryan ordered two chicken leg burgers and a cup of Coke. He carried a paper bag and walked to a small park not far away. After he and the bodyguard had left a certain distance, the burger shop owner used the fastest speed. , Made a call.


    This is Los Angeles, where people whispering to make extra money are everywhere.


    Sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree, Ryan took out a hamburger and solved the lunch problem. Although he didn''t like this food in both lives, it still feels good to eat it once in a while.


    "You...you are..."


    A passing young man glanced at this side, and stopped unconsciously, "You are Ryan!"


    "Shhh..." Ryan raised a finger at him.


    "Hello, Ryan." The young man was still calm, and proactively extended a hand.


    "Hello!" Ryan shook his hand lightly. Seeing that the other party didn''t mean to leave, he simply pointed to his side, "Please sit down! You are..."


    "My name is Gene."


    "It turned out to be Gene." The name seemed familiar.


    After the other party sat down, staring at the burger in his hand in surprise, Ryan didn''t care, "Have you had lunch?"


    "No." Gene shook his head.


    "You are lucky enough." Ryan handed the paper bag over, "I have a treat today, chicken leg burger... well, it''s a bit simpler."


    "No, no." The other party was obviously also a bold person, took out the hamburger, and took a big bite. "If I send the news, I don''t know how many people will be envious."


    "Are you a reporter?"


    "Actually, I am the head of one of your supporters'' organization."


    Hearing what the other person said Ryan gradually remembered something, "Gen...oh, I remember it, I heard Pete mention your name."


    "Well, to celebrate our encounter..." Ryan opened the paper bag, but there was only one cup of Coke. Just about to wave to the bodyguard behind, Gene next to him suddenly reminded, "Ryan, it seems like... The reporter is here."


    It doesn''t seem to be that there are really reporters here, and the number seems to be quite large.


    These guys have such a keen sense of smell!


    Seeing entertainment reporters, Ryan knew that he had come along this way, and he must have been recognized by many people, among whom there were definitely many people who would confess to reporter paparazzi.


    However, he doesn''t care much. After all, bodyguards are scattered around, and if these guys want to take pictures, let them take them.


    What Ryan didn''t expect was that there was a TV OB van driving over. Isn''t this too exaggerated? (To be continued.

 Chapter 456： Am i not your girlfriend

    "Hello everyone, everyone, this is Fox TV''s tour of the United States. Today we came to Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. This is one of the most luxurious residential areas in the world. It has attracted countless rich and famous people to buy real estate here."


    In the TV screen, a young and beautiful hostess spoke to the camera. Behind her is a small park outside Beverly Hills. "As we all know, because of the close proximity to Hollywood, many stars choose to be in Beverly Hills. Settled, including Drew Barrymore, Sean Penn, Brad Pitt and others..."


    "Oh, God." The hostess exclaimed a little, and then said excitedly, "We got the latest news. Ryan Jenkins himself was resting in the park behind, and I could see this outside. There are not many opportunities for being a superstar. Don''t worry, this is definitely an encounter!"


    With the shaking of the camera, two young people sitting on a bench eating hamburgers quickly appeared in the picture. Although one of them was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, it was obviously the one rarely seen on the street A famous movie star.


    Not only are these two people around, there are also more than a dozen reporters jammed nearby. If they weren''t stopped by someone, they would definitely be swarming...


    The female reporter immediately interviewed a few people passing by, asked other colleagues, and continued, "According to people at the scene, Ryan walked here from Jenkins Manor and ran into a supporter..."


    Go to the park to eat burgers with your fans? You are really boring.


    Staring at the very familiar figures on the TV and the flashing lights that occasionally light up around, Charlize Theron suddenly fetched the remote control, turned off the TV, quickly changed his shoes, and went directly to the garage.


    Received a call from the assistant. She just turned on the TV, but she didn''t expect to see this scene.


    Charlize didn''t know what happened between him and the two women during this time. But just like when I decided to pursue him. Now that she has made the choice, she will unswervingly implement it.


    If those two women fell out with him. She is naturally happy to see it happen. If it hasn''t completely fallen out, why don''t she add a fire and use it as another fuse?


    Even if Nicole Kidman has a very unusual relationship with him. Then I can use other methods in the future.


    After all, you must rely on yourself to fight for what belongs to you!


    With this thought, the red sports car rushed out of Santa Monica and rushed towards Beverly Hills.


    After discussing a few words with Ryan''s bodyguard, after seeing that he had no intention of accepting the interview, the people from Fox TV quickly left. The other entertainment reporters were unwilling to stay around, pressing the shutter of the camera from time to time. Looking forward to receiving some sensational news.


    According to their thinking, if the two people sitting on the bench can show their affection, it would be the best, then the United States will probably be detonated, right?


    Although knowingly treat Ryan''s news reports to be cautious. But these reporters still can''t help thinking, how to write today''s things to attract more attention and bring more benefits for themselves?


    "Thank you for the lunch, Ryan, I think I should say goodbye." After looking at his watch, Gene stood up.


    "Well, if you have anything to help, just go to Pat." What Ryan said was naturally the fan organization he represented.


    Looking at the vaguely visible reporters, Ryan packed up the paper bags on the bench and was about to leave, when the vague motor roar suddenly reached his ears. (Pingnan Literature Net)


    Even though he is a complete layman for cars, Ryan can also guess that a high-horsepower sports car must have come on the road in front of the small park.


    This is Beverly Hills, and luxury sports cars are almost everywhere, no surprise.


    It''s just that when Ryan saw the tall figure coming closer and closer, the corners of his mouth trembled. Wouldn''t it be the one who ran over to fight again?


    Even if he is self-inflicted, he will not be able to bear this kind of drama one after another during the day with his cheeky skin.


    Los Angeles in July is the hottest time, wearing shorts, t-shirts, shoes and South African diamonds with short ponytails, like a girl next door.


    "Hi, Charlie."


    Ryan took the initiative to greet him, Charlize smiled at him, walked to the side naturally, and put his hand in his arm.


    This is not a red carpet, nor a public occasion. What does it mean for a young man and woman to do this in private?


    The paparazzi and reporters scattered around were as excited as flies smelling blood. The shutter that was pressed killed countless films in an instant.


    "Charlie..." Ryan frowned slightly, but before he could finish his words, Charlize asked, "Am I not your girlfriend?"


    The voice of this sentence is not too high, nor is it low, enough to spread more than ten or twenty feet...


    girlfriend? The reporter seemed to have heard the news of the outbreak of the Third World War, filled with excitement in consternation.


    Girlfriend?


    Ryan turned to look at Charlize Theron, and the South African Diamond was also staring at him.


    I have temporarily lost two of them, don''t you even dare to admit the last one? Do you want to push her away from your side?


    Things have gotten to where they are now, how can it be as bad as it is? I''m scrupulous about this side and that side, hasn''t it turned into a mess in the end? Have you set too much emotional restraint on yourself for a long time?


    Doing what you want is not an option. (Pingnan Literature Net)


    In the blink of an eye, Ryan made a decision, and his arm gently broke away from the hand. The disappointment in Charlize''s eyes had not yet appeared, and he felt that his hand was completely wrapped by a large slender hand. Immediately hung a sweet smile from the heart.


    She waited for this moment for too long!


    The bright eyes flashed with the light belonging to the winner, Charlize quickly turned his wrists, and the two hands he was holding immediately became fingers interlocking.


    What this gesture means is too clear to the entertainment reporters wandering in Hollywood. They finally waited for the long-awaited big news!


    This... This can almost cause a sensation in the United States! A sensation in the whole world!


    "Let''s go."


    Hearing Charlize''s words, Ryan nodded, "Go to Santa Monica."


    The two have not yet walked out of this small park. I was blocked by reporters. If they weren''t intercepted by bodyguards, these guys might be able to pounce on them.


    Faced with such a sensational event, how could they let it go?


    "Excuse me, are you dating?" The reporter''s camera focused on the two interlocking hands.


    "Ryan. How long have you been together?"


    "How far is your relationship..."


    A mess of questions. At this time, they all jumped out, and the categories are even more diverse. Did these guys almost ask if they were in bed? How many times has it been?


    Charlize remained silent, but even a fool could see the happiness on her face. She was a smart person and knew that she was a smarter person around her. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to say anything more.


    Besides, isn''t the two hands clasped with fingers the best proof?


    "Ryan, are you dating?"


    After another uproar, Ryan just raised his hands together, without answering anything.


    The so-called go to Santa Monica. It was just the smoke bombs that Ryan released. He changed his bodyguard''s car midway. After getting rid of the reporters who were chasing and blocking him, he entered the highway to Long Beach directly.


    His house in Long Beach. Only Charlize has been here. This relatively hidden place is undoubtedly a good place to hide from the media.


    Although he will not swell with pride, Ryan has never been arrogant, and he knows what kind of sensation his relationship with Charlize will cause after being stabbed by the media.


    They didn''t talk much along the way. After entering the villa, after Charlize made black tea, the two again went to the terrace on the top floor, blowing the cool sea breeze, and admiring the luxury yachts coming in and out of the distant port.


    "Many people like to put milk and sugar in their tea, but it''s easy to lose the bitter taste of the tea." Ryan is not a fool. Not saying something doesn''t mean he doesn''t understand. "Charlie, if you want to ask anything, Just ask."


    "You..." Charlize hesitated for a while, but finally didn''t hold it back. There are a few women in this regard that can not bear to say, "How are you with them?"


    "Do you know why I appeared in that park?" Ryan did not answer directly, "Because I was driven out of Jenkins Manor."


    No need to think about the name, Charlize also knows that only one person in the world can drive Ryan out of there.


    However, this is better for you, isn''t it?


    "Sorry, Charlie." Ryan sighed. No matter what kind of thoughts Charlize Theron has been in, she is sincere to herself, "If you..."


    "Ryan, let him pass the past."


    When should you enter, when should you retire, when should you fight fiercely, when should you choose tolerance, Charlize has always known where the degree lies.


    Wanting to beat other competitors, wanting to use this relationship to climb to the peak of your career, wanting the same return for the love you invested in, is not a simple matter of talking and thinking about it.


    "If... you can''t let them go, I can talk to them."


    She seems to be the same as before, always thinking about problems from the corner that is beneficial to Ryan, but the twinkling eyes can not be ignored, "Remember what I said to you in New ZealandI I really don''t mind."


    "No need." Ryan shook his head.


    He is not a three-year-old child, how can a woman''s words like this be taken seriously? If these three women get together now, even God cannot guess what will happen.


    Charlize seemed to want to prove it with words and actions, she leaned over and breathed a little, "Would you like me to ask them over..."


    After speaking, he leaned into Ryan''s ear and whispered a few words.


    Even with Ryan''s thick nerves, his face was covered with black lines, "Charlie!"


    "Okay, okay, just assume I didn''t say it." Charlize stood up and moved his curvy body, and walked downstairs, "I''m going to take a shower, won''t you be together, dear?"


    "I''m waiting for you here." Ryan was in a complicated mood and obviously had no extra thoughts.


    After turning down the stairs, Charlize bit his lip lightly, and he was already standing in a position of absolute initiative...()

 Chapter 457： Need to consider 1 time

    "Ryan, it''s time to get up."


    Hearing what Charlize Theron said, Ryan stretched a long slack waist, turned over and sat up, his sky-blue eyes blinked vigorously a few times before finally waking up, "I haven''t slept so well for a long time."


    Even if he has a thick nerve and a thick skin, he still has all the emotions that a normal person should have. After Northampton, the psychological and emotional burdens have caused the quality of sleep to plummet.


    However, once he is sober, he will become Ryan, who is unswervingly advancing towards his goal.


    Gently kissed his lips, Charlize pulled him down, "Hurry up and wash, do you want me to warm up breakfast again?"


    Breakfast is simple, baking bacon, omelette on toast and a cup of oatmeal.


    The taste is very unique, with the exquisiteness and thoughtfulness unique to South African diamonds.


    "Are there any newspapers?"


    Sitting at the dining table, Ryan was eating breakfast and asked Charlize who was sitting across from him. The South African Diamond complained a little, "Ryan, reading the newspaper during breakfast is a bad habit..."


    The mobile phone rang in the living room interrupted her, Charlize quickly fetched the phone and handed it to Ryan.


    "Thank you, dear." Ryan glanced at the screen and pressed the answer button. "Morning, Pat."


    "Ryan, what are you thinking?"


    After all, I¡¯ve been an old friend for more than ten years, Pie? Jinsli¡¯s words are not polite, ¡°Why don¡¯t you say hello to me in advance? Now the reporters have almost surrounded kk brokerage company and Jenkins Pictures! Also, you and What happened to Nicole? Why..."


    "Pat, I know what I''m doing." Ryan''s gaze turned from Charlize, and then quickly returned.


    "Well, this is your personal business." Pie Jinsli calmed down a bit, "Now the newspapers are all about you and Charlize Theron. Do you need me to read a paragraph for you?"


    "No need." Ryan thought for a moment. "Pat, I''ll leave this to you. Try to...play it down."


    "Okay, then. I''ll deal with the media." Pie? Jinsli seemed to be embarrassed. "Protect your South African diamond, otherwise your crazy female supporters. If you don''t know, you will give her a bullet!"


    Then Jinsli talked about another thing, "Ryan, the United States Tennis Association has sent an invitation letter. I want you to be the guest of honor at this year''s US Open."


    "Oh?" Ryan frowned, thought about it, and said, "I''ll look at the schedule. If I have time, I can go and see it."


    Tennis is actually pretty good, so it''s a good time to relax.


    Hanging up, Ryan looked at Charlize who was biting his lip. She patted her hand gently, "Don''t worry, I will take care of it."


    "Do you need me to do anything?" she asked caringly.


    "It''s just a little trouble." Ryan waved his hand indifferently.


    Pai Jinsli''s phone call seemed to be the beginning of a telephone party, and the following dozens of minutes. Ryan¡¯s mobile phone rang again and again. People who can get through this private number are people who are very closely related, such as Taylor and Scarlett Johansson. In addition to asking questions, some of the biases in the words are also abnormal. obvious.


    In everyone''s eyes, there is a difference between closeness and estrangement, and the South African Diamond has always been outside his circle.


    Charlize Theron also knew this. Although he couldn''t hear the words on the phone, from Ryan''s answer, he was as smart as her, and he could naturally guess something.


    She knows that Ryan has a huge difference between treating close people and strangers. To establish her position thoroughly, she really needs to do a lot to become the hostess of Jenkins Manor.


    Just as Ryan expected when he hid in Long Beach, the public opinion from the outside could no longer be described as uproar, and the media across the United States responded immediately.


    The media that specializes in entertainment gossip, naturally, needless to say, paparazzi, large and small, are flooded with places where Ryan often appears. They have become the busiest people in the entire city of angels and even in North America.


    Many journalists who run social news and political news also took the fastest flight to California. After all, the influence of the male protagonist in this relationship has long surpassed the scope of the entertainment circle and has become a representative of American culture in the world. .


    Even a well-known financial newspaper like the "Wall Street Journal" sent an ace reporter to contact Pai Kingsley, wanting to get some exclusive news.


    "What? Can''t find Ryan? Jenkins and Charlize? Theron himself? I don''t care what you do, even if you drill through the sewer network in Los Angeles, I have to find these two people! Even if you can''t get the interview, Take an exclusive photo, otherwise just behave!"


    The editors of almost all major entertainment media have issued similar orders to their reporters.


    Even though this scandal suppressed the vigorous presidential election, Ryan''s team still took measures to deal with it coldly.


    Regarding things like headlines, Ryan doesn''t have the crazy obsession of some people in his previous life. With his current capital, he doesn''t need to use his feelings to hype.


    Although the thought of reading relevant reports in the newspaper appeared briefly, Ryan quickly threw it behind his head, why bother to look awkward for his eyes?


    Since Ryan and Charlize could not be found, starting from the next day, the reporter turned his target to their friends. Now that the parties have chosen to make them public, these guys who were found by the reporter are no longer silent.


    "Ryan and Charlize met in 1992, and they have always been friends with very good feelings. I am not surprised that they will come together." Keanu Reeves, their mutual friend, naturally Became the key target of reporters'' besieging, "I will bless them, they are a perfect pair."


    Some blessed, while others were cold-eyed at the reporter. When the paparazzi in Fleet Street asked Scarlett Johansson on the location in Scotland, the girl who was in the rebellious period just said ¡®haha¡¯ with obvious dissatisfaction.


    In fact, the person the reporter most wants to ask is Natalie Portman. After all, there were rumors about her and Ryan a few years ago. However, this girl hid on Harvard campus in advance, even if it was a paparazzi, there was no good way.


    Although the closest people like Pai Jinsli and others are aware of the changes between Ryan and Nicole, this is North America, which is extremely pursuing personal freedom. Even the best friends will not rashly offend other people''s affairs and interfere with other people''s private affairs. Most of them choose to be silent.


    "Peter, what you have to do now is to finish the post-production of "Lord of the Rings." There will be a professional team to cooperate with you in publicity."


    After receiving a call from the director of the New Zealand Fatty. Ryan rejected the other party¡¯s suggestion without even thinking about it, "Stop talking about the hype. This is a personal matter between Charlize and I! Um... Let¡¯s do it for now. If we raise the party, we will definitely invite you to participate. ."


    Just throwing the mobile phone aside, Ryan walked back behind Charlize. He lay down on her shoulders, kissed the white ear beads, and looked at the webpage she was reading.


    This is Ryan''s personal website. Since he and Charlize were exposed, a large number of fans crowded to leave messages on the website, which once caused the website''s server to be paralyzed.


    Most of the messages are more sensible, love affair between Hollywood stars. It couldn''t be more ordinary. Of course, there are fanatics and irrational people everywhere, and Ryan''s supporters are not a few, especially some female fans. Charlize himself was directly regarded as the target of the attack.


    Things like ¡®seduce¡¯, ¡®shameless¡¯, ¡®you are not worthy of him at all¡¯, are endless.


    The most extreme is the female fan organization from the Upper East Side of New York, which openly declared that if Charlize did not leave Ryan, they would take extreme measures.


    According to information received by Ryan, South African Diamond has gathered many young women to protest in front of the public residence in Santa Monica.


    "Am I so unbearable what they said?"


    Even if Charlize understood that those people opposed it because they were against it, but if he reads too much, he feels a little unhappy in his heart.


    "Do you really care what they say?" Ryan hugged her from behind. "Can they affect you?"


    "Hey, dear, don''t forget the girl group that admires you the most. They have money and time." Charlize flipped through the web page and exposed the declaration that she was publicly regarded as an enemy in front of Ryan. "Maybe they Will really mail me bullets."


    "Don''t worry." As both hands slowly climbed up to the high place, Ryan said while feeling the soft touch, "I have equipped you with the most professional bodyguards..."


    "Can they prevent you from doing something wrong?" When Charlize turned back, the bright eyes could drip. "How long have we not made each other? I almost forget the feeling of floating in the sky. ."


    "I promise, my dear." The lady''s t-shirt and underwear fell on the floor one after another, and Ryan''s hand fell on a button on the slender waist. "Before we go to Lanai, we will spend all our time enjoying ."


    At the same time, in a private club on Malibu Beach, Naomi Watts frowned, staring at the middle-aged man opposite, silently.


    This situation has been going on for a long time. The middle-aged man is not anxious at all, slowly sipping his coffee, waiting for the woman on the opposite side to think about the stakes. UU reading


    He believes that the other party will make a wise choice.


    "Only this?"


    After a long time, Naomi Watts said, "I''m just a small person, I don''t want to get involved in your fight."


    "Miss Watts, just like I just said." The middle-aged man was always full of confidence, "You don''t need to do anything directly, as long as you often mention Ryan Jenkins and Charlize Say in front of your girlfriend. Long these two names will do."


    Seeing Naomi Watts still hesitating, the middle-aged man continued, "There is no risk. Use this trivial thing in exchange for our friendship and full support in the future. This sale..."


    As he spoke, he spread his hands and laughed.


    "I... I need to think about it."


    "Miss Watts, if you remember correctly, are you in your thirties? Many people have become Oscar queens at this age..." ()

 Chapter 458： Speculate

    "There are more and more reporters blocking the company''s door."


    Hearing Julius Stewart¡¯s complaint, after signing the signing, Ryan handed over the fourth script of "Scream" he had confirmed, and said, "I''m sorry, Julius, because of me. The personal problems of the company have brought a lot of inconvenience to the company."


    "Ryan..." Jules Stewart seemed to want to say something, but after hesitating for a while, he still endured it.


    Faced with this situation, Ryan wisely chose to turn a blind eye and asked questions about his work, "How about the movie adaptation rights of the female killer on the road?"


    "We have reached an agreement with Hilby."


    That woman surrendered directly in front of the money, and the other was the trouble. "Eileen Warnos herself hasn''t responded yet."


    ¡°Find someone to find a way to contact her.¡± Although it¡¯s okay to skip her filming, Ryan doesn¡¯t want to cause some trouble in the follow-up. ¡°Even people who want to die, there are things that care about and are tempting. If you can, let Hill Than to see her."


    As for the woman Hilby, money can be done easily.


    Since Charlize Theron firmly chose to stand by his side, Ryan would naturally reward him accordingly.


    After saying a few other things, Julius Stewart left this office. When passing the corridor near the outer floor, it seemed that he could still hear the clutter from the front of the company building. It appeared from Ryan to Jenkins Pictures. From that moment on, more and more reporters gathered.


    To be precise, this is Ryan''s personal affairs, but Julis is very worried that these personal affairs are likely to have a bad effect on Jenkins Pictures.


    Compared with other Hollywood production companies, Jenkins Pictures¡¯ shareholders and management are extremely united, which is also an important reason for the company¡¯s high efficiency. Now, Wall Street people are the first to buy shares. With this incident again, can everything be the same as before?


    You know, Nicole Kidman has always been the chairman of the company...


    Shaking his head, Julius entered her office. She believes Ryan can handle all this.


    After entering the working state. Ryan has thrown away all the troubles and has been in Hollywood for so many years. He knows exactly what the foundation of this Vanity Fair is.


    In addition to film matters, Ryan rarely interferes with the company''s normal operations, but he will take the initiative to understand what he needs to know.


    Not to mention the low-cost series released in the first half of the year. The most heavyweight work of Jenkins Pictures this summer is "The Matrix 2: Reloaded". Although this movie has dropped a lot from the first word of mouth, it still created a hacking boom in North America and has become so far. The highest-grossing movie in North America this year.


    It has been more than two months since the movie has landed in North America, and the box office has exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars. It became the first North American film to exceed 300 million U.S. dollars this year. However, there are currently less than 1,000 theaters remaining. The number of viewers has shown a plummeting state, and the potential of the market is almost squeezed out.


    If nothing else, the North American box office of "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" will increase by another 10 to 20 million US dollars at most, and it is impossible to exceed 350 million US dollars...


    but. Among the movies that have been confirmed to be released this year, Ryan did not see the name of the previous life that was super popular. The performance of "The Matrix 2: Reloading" can basically be booked for this year''s North American box office ranking champion.


    Whether it is "Men 100%" with Paramount or "Gladiator" produced by Jenkins Pictures**, it is difficult to shake "The Matrix 2: Reloading" at the box office, its biggest competition The opponent is from Pixar Studios, and the upcoming "Monster Electric Company" chose the Thanksgiving Christmas file.


    Because of Ryan''s relationship, this animated feature film was approved earlier and completed earlier than in the previous life.


    Also because of the lack of Disney''s constraints and sufficient funds, Pixar is also faster in technology research and development than in the past. I believe that the protagonist of "Monster Electric Company" will bring a shock to the industry.


    Looking at the email sent by Pixar, Ryan naturally thought of Disney. Compared with the beginning of the year, Disney¡¯s management, who was busy stabilizing the stock price, had less private snooping on Pixar. After all, the stable internal is external expansion. basis.


    For the details of the stock market crash in the previous life, Ryan only knows some superficial things, and the specific chain reaction is unknown. Now the sharply declining Nasdaq index has driven the stock market to a collective decline, and panic selling has continued one after another. The emergence of even media groups such as Time Warner, Conscat and Viacom have been affected.


    Walt Disney is no exception. Many shareholders have chosen to cash out, and some small shareholders have changed hands.


    Ryan will naturally not let this opportunity pass. The investment team has bought Disney stocks through more than a dozen secret accounts.


    With enough shares, when Disney holds the next shareholder meeting, he will have the right to speak, maybe he can squeeze into Disney''s board of directors, then what will Michael Eisner look like?


    Of course, Ryan is just thinking about it. Wanting to be a member of Disney''s board of directors is not something that can be done with shares in his hands.


    According to the New York Stock Exchange¡¯s listed company governance rules, all listed companies should have outside directors, who should account for more than half of the board of directors. The nomination committee under the board of directors should consist of all or more than half of outside directors. Disney has a nomination committee. , The vast majority of members are outside directors, and the chairman of the committee is an executive director.


    According to the design of the legal system, the responsibility of the nomination committee is to make opinions on the company''s important personnel appointments, make reasonable judgments on the qualifications of the proposed personnel, and conduct regular evaluations of the competence of the current senior staff of the company.


    However, this rule does not apply to Disney at all. Since coming to power in 1984, Michael Eisner has not only developed Disney into a media group with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, but has also turned the management into his arbitrariness.


    This greedy professional manager is a master of power. He uses the loopholes in Disney¡¯s management to constantly reject dissidents in the management. For example, Jeffrey Katzenberg, who made great achievements for Disney, left Disney angrily, and The creation of DreamWorks by the other two is not unrelated to Michael Eisner''s suppression.


    Knowing yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles never end, even if reborn from the other side here, Ryan still thinks this is the most reasonable saying.


    Michael Eisner is doing moves in private, how can he choose to give in because of his character?


    In fact, his investigation and consulting company has found a large amount of information about the other party, and there are not a few things that have inspired Ryan and awakened his few related memories.


    And he also thoroughly understood Michael Eisner''s ambitions.


    A few years ago, Roy Disney and Michael Eisner had a sharp contradiction. The only member of the Disney family in the company once proposed to let his son enter the management of the company in order to prepare for the future handover of the Disney family. Michael Eisner''s merciless obstruction.


    Faced with this situation, the Disney family can do nothing. The only share they have has long lost control of Walt Disney. On the other hand, board voting has become synonymous with Eisner¡¯s personal will. .


    These are all smooth and wide-ranging things, and Ryan has heard about it a long time ago. It was not until Garcia Rodriguez sent some of the investigation data to George¡¯s hands that he knew that Michael Eisner¡¯s ambitions were not only in the hands of George. this.


    At the level of ownership, the Disney tyrant continued to increase his salary and stock options. He invited Grave Cristal, the most outstanding salary consultant in the United States, to draft a contract between the two parties. The core of this contract is high salary and a large number of stock options. .


    To put it simply, it is to take the opportunity of taking control of Disney to increase its holdings when the company raises funds to issue additional stocks.


    By the mid-nineties, Michael Eisner became the largest shareholder after Roy Disney. By last year, Michael Eisner¡¯s stock had approached 6%, completely surpassing Roy Disney and became The largest individual shareholder of Walt Disney.


    Although most of Disney¡¯s shares are held in the hands of numerous investment groups large and small on Wall Street, these people invest for profit. As long as the people in charge of Disney can bring enough profits, they don¡¯t care if the people sitting on it are. The last name is Disney, but the last name is Eisner.


    In the process of controlling the Disney Company¡¯s board of directors for nearly two decades, one step at a time, little by little, he stuffed his "persons" into the board, and he took advantage of various opportunities to win over the alliance to increase his shareholding. Michael Eisner did just that. The board of directors , who exercised the power of the company on behalf of the shareholders meeting, was hijacked and turned into his personal board of directors.


    Although there are many voices of opposition, he can always think of ways to solve it, such as using the common interests of Pixar studio.


    Benefits can blind many people''s eyes. According to Ryan''s speculation, even if Disney swallows Pixar, Roy Disney will inevitably roll out the fate of the board of directors.


    He remembers very clearly that Disney has a clause that directors over 72 years old must retire. This clause used by the Disney brothers to keep the company alive will definitely become the end of the Disney family''s blood in the company.


    When the biggest opponent, an "outsider" on the Ehrlich board of directors, a "person who is not his own," and a "after the stumbling block disappears" that needs to be eliminated at the end, Michael Eisner will be able to achieve complete control of the Disney company, and even Disney steals it for itself and becomes its own kingdom.


    The servant has since become the master!


    Although this is a speculation based on existing data, Ryan knows people''s greed and what he wants to do. Why would Michael Eisner, the current chairman and chairman of Disney, let it go? ()

 Chapter 459： Movies deeply influenced by the social environment

    Disney''s business is not in a hurry. Although I don''t know what Michael Eisner is waiting for, Ryan is also waiting for the most suitable conference. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    Now that there is the common interest of Pixar Studios, Disney¡¯s board of directors has shown rare unity, and even Roy Disney has started cooperation with Michael Eisner. A strong Walt Disney company without internal problems, absolutely Ryan can''t shake it by himself.


    But Ryan knows its crux. Because of the presidential incident in the mid-1990s, Michael Eisner actually left a huge hidden danger, and the key figure is the former Caa giant and his friend Michael Ovitz. , The contract and severance pay at the day''s price, and appointments that do not comply with legal procedures, once broke out, this tyrant who is good at playing power will face no small trouble.


    You know, this huge sum of close to 200 million U.S. dollars, even if it has not been paid up until now, any Disney shareholder has the right to bring related lawsuits to the court, so as to pursue the violation of the company system and personal will promote Michael The responsibility of the person appointed by Ovitz.


    In this highly developed commercial society, managers who squander shareholders'' money at will cannot be offset by a few words of justification.


    Ryan has secretly contacted some of Disney''s retail shareholders and small investors, just waiting for the right time.


    Perhaps he once only wanted to live this life carefree, but whether his biggest interest is movies or he wants to suppress emotional backlash with his career, since he chose the most difficult path a few years ago, then He will go on unswervingly until the day it is realized.


    What belongs to me is mine after all, and no one can **** it away, nor can it escape.


    It''s like self-hypnosis. After Ryan whispered this sentence, he lost his thoughts and placed it on the document in front of him again.


    In late July, "The Mummy 2", a collaboration between Jenkins Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox, also landed in North America. This comedy adventure series was rejected by Disney management. Showcasing great charm, the North American box office received close to 69 million US dollars in the first week. It has only been in theaters for more than three weeks, and it has surpassed the US$170 million in the box office of the previous movie.


    This film has achieved great commercial success and has become one of the few live-action films whose sequel can surpass the previous one. The film''s director Stephen Somos relies on these two "Mummy". He became a leading commercial film director in Hollywood.


    Perhaps it is the success of this magical series. Stephen Sommers signed a new director contract with Universal Pictures. Universal Pictures is ambitious and plans to build it at a production cost of 150 million US dollars. An unprecedented monster movie.


    The name of this project has not yet been officially determined. Ryan speculates that it should be the "Van Helsing" that pitted the world.


    He vaguely remembered. The production cost of this film in the previous life should have exceeded 150 million U.S. dollars. It seems that it only returned a little more than 300 million U.S. dollars in the global box office. The final result was even more miserable than "Pearl Harbor"...


    Although the relationship with Universal is pretty good, Ryan won''t say much. It is undoubtedly a very disgusting behavior to intervene in the normal operation of another company casually.


    In addition to Stephen Sommers, the male and female protagonists are also the focus of Hollywood. Among them, Rachel Vichy became the English rose blooming in Hollywood in the mouth of the British media as early as the end of the first film.


    Such a description is not excessive, but there are more English roses in Fleet Street''s mouth. After the release of "Pearl Harbor" next year, Hollywood will definitely have one more English rose.


    Rachel Vichy is lucky. Among all the actors in "The Mummy", she even surpassed the male lead and became the most popular one.


    The success of this series also brought her huge benefits. Just after filming the sequel, this talented woman from Cambridge took over the filming of a film studio in Germany with a remuneration of up to 13 million U.S. dollars. The war masterpiece.


    The production budget for this large-scale production was originally 68 million U.S. dollars. It brought together Jude Law, Russell Fiennes and Rachel Vichy, three major Hollywood movie stars. The additional investment amounted to 95 million U.S. dollars.


    Because Paramount Pictures has acted as the distributor of the film, Ryan has heard some news. The French director, Jean Jacques Arnault, is about to make this movie called "A Soldier Under the City". The war epic of the former Soviet Union even claimed to overturn "Saving Private Ryan" at the box office.


    French people shoot commercial masterpieces, besides Luc Besson, how many people have succeeded?


    As for the Christmas file of "Arrived at the City", unless the film has a facelift, it is definitely one of the most failed large-scale films at the turn of the century.


    But this possibility obviously does not exist. Ryan knows from the sporadic propaganda that the film is still a duel of two snipers from the former Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.


    This proposition alone is the cause of the movie¡¯s failure. In the movie, except for the Soviets, there are Germans. Even the three leading actors are British, and none of the Americans can see it. Although the audience in North America is becoming more and more open, This kind of''foreign'' film full of French romanticism certainly cannot arouse too many people''s interest.


    Even today, liberalism and isolationism in the United States are still prevalent. In the eyes of these people, the Soviets and Germans have nothing to do with them.


    Movies are deeply affected by the social environment in which they are located. Ryan knows this well. Movies like "Arrived at the City" fail not only in the content of the movie.


    "The Mummy 2" was a great success. Stephen Sommers became a first-line commercial film director from the original small director. Because of the investment decision made at the beginning, Ryan became the object of lobbying by many screenwriters and directors. After all, he chose to enter this People at Vanity Fair don''t want to be famous for both fame and fortune.


    Whenever encountering such a person, as long as there is not a particularly urgent matter, Ryan will choose to listen to the other person''s words. He has always been very enthusiastic about things that may bring benefits.


    This has nothing to do with the support of emerging directors and the excavation of screenwriter talents from the outside world. It is only the interests that determine all of this.


    What Ryan didn''t expect was that Ridley Scott became one of the lobbying crowd.


    In the afternoon, he went to the editing room to check the post-production progress of "Gladiator" and the dubbing of some clips for the film. When he was busy with these breaks, Ridley Scott asked him to chat alone. .


    "what do you mean¡­¡­"


    In the lounge, Ryan put down his coffee cup and looked at Ridley Scott opposite, "Want to adapt Mr. Mark Bowden''s documentary report "Black Hawk Project" into a movie?"


    "Yes, it''s the Somali incident." Ridley Sko nodded and said seriously, "Before shooting "Gladiator", I had a preliminary plan. I have already reached an agreement with Jerry Bruckheimer. Agreement, he is getting people to start adapting the script. Bruckheimer Pictures cannot afford such a huge investment, so we need to find a suitable partner."


    "Ridley, how much do you expect to invest?" Ryan asked after thinking about it.


    "It is estimated to be around US$80 million." For most directors, this is an unattainable figure, but compared to the nearly US$100 million production cost of "Gladiator", Ridley Scott obviously doesn''t think this is a big number, "Ryan, I believe you must have heard of this incident, I think it has a very market..."


    During the filming of "Gladiator", Ridley Scott clearly grasped Ryan''s views on the film. He did not mention any artistic and practical significance, but directly talked about the market value of the film.


    Ryan naturally saw this masterpiece by Ridley Scott in his previous life, and he was extremely impressed. This movie does not have the sensational memories of "Saving Private Ryan" or the painful reflections of "Apocalypse Now". It''s just war, a real and cruel war.


    And Ridley Scott himself, with this movie, once again won the Oscar nomination for best director.


    Even now, Ryan still vaguely remembers the classic line-only soldiers who are sorry for the country, and soldiers who are not sorry for the country. We swear allegiance to the beloved country, not the damned politician.


    To some extent, this movie has the potential to sell well, but it was born out of time.


    The film is deeply influenced by the social environment, and it has been very appropriately interpreted in "Black Hawk Down".


    If the film is released in the first two years, or this year, or even next summer, as long as the war film is not made into a literary film, the cost recovery will not be a problem at all.


    But the problem is that now the movie will definitely not be released before next summer.


    "Black Hawk Down" is still in the planning stage War films often require extremely long preparations. It would be nice to be able to boot before the end of the year, and Ridley Scott was released in "Gladiator" Before, it¡¯s impossible to throw away post-production and run to shoot another movie.


    In this case, film shooting plus post-production, even at the fastest speed, working overtime like "Gladiator", will be released until next year''s Thanksgiving Christmas file.


    At that time, North American audiences, how many people would still like to see movies where their country failed and their compatriots were slaughtered?


    Of course, the movie can be postponed. The problem is that next year¡¯s event will have a huge impact, and it won¡¯t even change significantly in two to three years. The results of this movie¡¯s release can be imagined...


    This is an investment of up to 80 million U.S. dollars, even if Bruckheimer Pictures can share part of it, there is also the later promotion and marketing.


    Is it necessary to rely on the long disc market and TV broadcasting rights to recoup the investment?


    After Ryan''s euphemistic "need to consider" remarks, Ridley Scott could not help but walked out of the lounge a little disappointed. ()

 Chapter 460： Truckers wedding

    "I declare that you are now husband and wife."


    After the wedding priest finished speaking, his eyes fell on the man who had shaved his beard, "You can kiss your bride."


    James Cameron in the groom¡¯s dress kissed Susie Amis in a white wedding dress.


    The applause of blessing rang soon, but compared to the grand wedding, the applause seemed sparse, and there were not many guests attending the wedding in the church.


    Those who can be specially invited by James Cameron to Lanai for the wedding, apart from their relatives, are old friends like Ryan who are closely related, and there are not many people in the Hollywood industry.


    In addition to Ryan and Charlize Theron as a female partner, there are also Schwarzeneggers and Catherine Isabel.


    Obviously, the turmoil during the divorce was raging. James Cameron didn''t want to be the headline of the entertainment media again. Susie Amis was also a smart woman who knew exactly what choice to make when.


    "Congratulations, Jim, Susie."


    There were more than a dozen people attending the wedding, and Ryan followed the Schwarzenegger and his wife and sent their blessings.


    "Thank you, Ryan, and your island." James Cameron gave him a light hug, "This is such a beautiful island, I don''t want to leave."


    "You can spend your honeymoon here." Schwarzenegger on one side laughed.


    "This is not in line with our plan." Cameron said after looking at his wife, "I borrowed Ryan''s yacht to go from Hawaii to Guam. Are you interested in coming together, Arnold?"


    "Me?" Schwarzenegger shook his head, "Forget it. You know, I''m very busy these days."


    "Arnold, start preparing now?"


    The pastor has gone, and there are no outsiders here. Ryan patted the arm of the action superstar. "If you need help, just speak up."


    Although I don''t want to get too much connected with politics, there is a close person who becomes the governor of California. It''s not a bad thing either.


    "Definitely." Schwarzenegger looked like he was looking at the big benefactor.


    In fact, Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to run for the next governor of California, for the upper echelons of Hollywood. It was a public news at all. He received considerable support from his wife''s family. Even though the Kennedy family is far from the previous glory, with their support, Schwarzenegger has enough confidence.


    Maria Shriffer, who is chatting with Charlize Theron and Susie Amis, is the niece of the famous John F. Kennedy, and her father is the chairman of the Special Olympics. In addition, their parents are the only couple in the United States who have both won the Presidential Medal of Freedom.


    It is difficult to say whether Schwarzenegger chose her or the family behind her.


    The way the couple get along also makes Ryan puzzled, after all, the fame of Mr. Governor in the future has spread all over Hollywood. The shrewd Maria Schrieffer could not have heard of it, and the relationship between the husband and wife lasted for more than ten years, until Schwarzenegger stepped down as governor...


    As for Schwarzenegger still wanting to be president later, without the support of the big group and the Kennedy family, I am afraid it is a dream.


    "You look happier than when you first came."


    When walking out of the church, Ryan asked Charlize Theron, "What did you talk about?"


    "Of course it''s a topic among women, clothes, jewelry and fashion trends. (Pingnan Literature Net Charlize shrugged playfully, "and then agreed to go shopping together if I had time."


    The group then drove to Ryan''s manor on the island. James Cameron borrowed the garden here to hold a small celebration party after the wedding.


    Because there were only a dozen people, they basically gathered at the largest table in the palm grove to chat. Ryan and Cameron were naturally the center of the conversation.


    "Ryan, you finally gave Spider-Man to someone else." After raising a glass to Schwarzenegger and killing a glass of champagne, Cameron complained, "You know that this series is mine. Favorite, but gave it to Sam Remy."


    "Hey, Jim, it''s unfair to say that." Ryan immediately retorted. "The director was a choice made by Marvel Pictures, and it has nothing to do with me. Also, are you sure you have time to shoot Spider-Man? Sure it only costs 100 million US dollars. Will you be able to make this movie?"


    "Can I answer for Jim?"


    After Cameron nodded helplessly, Schwarzenegger smiled and said, "200 million US dollars is the most conservative budget. There is no 300 million US dollars. If you want to make a great movie, don''t even think about it."


    "If there are 300 million dollars, I can show you a perfect world." In the laughter of everyone, Cameron habitually shook his head, "Don''t you believe it? Arnold, and Ryan. "


    "No, no, no...Jim." Ryan took the pineapple that Charlize handed over, and said after eating a slice, "You are the leader of the world''s new technology trends in cinema. This is a fact recognized by Hollywood."


    After Cameron nodded arrogantly, Ryan said deliberately, "But don''t forget, there is no suitable photographic equipment now to turn your dreams into reality."


    "This, I believe our imax will solve it." As he said, he raised his glass to Ryan, "For our imax!"


    "In order to be able to push it to the world!" Ryan held up the goblet and drank the juice in it, "Jim, I am waiting for you to use your movie to perfectly show imax to the world."


    "So you can sit at home and count your money?" Catherine Isabel, the youngest, jokingly joked, "God, you can wait for the patent fee to fall into your pocket. Why can''t I encounter such a good thing?"


    Perhaps because of Cameron¡¯s presence, the Canadian actress complained to this little bit, ¡°Ryan, little naughty is an important role in the first part, and it seems to be interesting later. No more."


    Charlize Theron, who sat next to Ryan, took the conversation just right, "These are amazing arrangements. I want to ask them to protest. The second part of Jean Gray is dead, and the third part becomes the ultimate. The big villain...Oh! I actually acted as a villain! Why didn''t anyone communicate with me when I signed the contract for the trilogy..."


    The words of South African Diamonds naturally led the topic to the development of the subsequent plot.


    After everyone discussed a few words about the intricate relationship between the main characters of the X-Men, Arnold Schwarzenegger said with emotion, ¡°Who would have thought that the superhero movie of surprise would be so popular, Jim, we should have joined forces in the first place. Investment, mixed with Ryan''s acquisition case."


    Everyone knows that this is just a joke, after all, friendship and business are completely different things.


    "How much is the box office of "X-Men"?" It was Susie Amis who asked the question. Although this woman is silent, she knows who is the most helpful person to her husband''s career. "Next How many more do you need to make?"


    "North America has passed 200 million U.S. dollars."


    This kind of strictly speaking ostentatious answer is not suitable for Ryan''s mouth. Charlize once again promptly said, "The global box office has exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars, but many regions have not yet released it. Follow-up. I will make a few surprising trade secrets..."


    Having said that, she looked at Ryan with a smile, and continued, "We actors have only signed three contracts."


    "In fact, this series will be the key project of surprise." Ryan patted Charlize''s hand gently. The South African diamond always makes people feel so intimate. "After the trilogy, even if the movie will continue, we will It¡¯s time to change actors."


    "Why?" Catherine Isabel''s eyes widened curiously.


    "If you don''t change new actors..." Ryan made a rather helpless gesture, "Your salary alone will overwhelm the surprise budget."


    Other actors are good to say, that Hugh Jackman has almost become synonymous with Wolverine after the movie hits, and the subsequent pay will definitely rise in a straight line.


    This can be said to be a common problem faced by the series of films. After the starring has received a considerable degree of recognition, it is undoubtedly a very risky move to change actors rashly, and it may even cause the audience to not buy it.


    Fortunately, after the trilogy of "X-Men", it is possible to replace a group of actors and film the absurdities of their youth.


    "Ryan, I heard that Spider-Man''s script borrowed a lot of my ideas?"


    When the party ended, Ryan and James Cameron came together again, and the other party joked, "Should you consider paying royalties?"


    "Then treat it as my yacht for rent." Ryan walked toward the main building of the manor without forgetting a few words, "Jim, the submarine equipped with the yacht is just an escape submarine. If you don''t want to stay in the Pacific Ocean If you are watching fish from the bottom of the sea, it is best not to go too deep."


    "I''m not as crazy as you think!"


    After returning to the main building Ryan took the luggage and rushed directly to the helicopter apron on the island with Charlize. The two of them won''t stay here any more and will rush to New York soon.


    The U.S. Open has come to an end. Since Ryan has agreed to serve as the award-giving guest of the U.S. Tennis Association, he will naturally not release pigeons for no reason.


    Although there is no distinction between styles and sports, letting someone who has almost nothing to do with sports as the guest of honor seems to be rare in the history of the US Open?


    Ryan was still thinking about this issue when he got on the plane. Unfortunately, although he can play tennis, he is more for communication. He doesn¡¯t know much about tennis. The tennis players who know their names are Agassi and Sampras and a limited number of people.


    Ah... and the later cow and the screaming queen...


    He will be the guest of awards for the men¡¯s singles event. Ryan vaguely remembers that he has seen few tennis events in his previous life, including the women¡¯s singles finals at the Australian Open. It seems that the guest of awards was Flying Fish Thorpe. .


    It seems that men''s tennis is still the world of Sampras? ()

 Chapter 461： Interest only

    ps:


    Four more today! Thanks to the first leader of this book, two chapters are added for the leader!


    The U.S. Tennis Open has a long history, dating back to the 19th century. Although it is not as influential as the most traditional Wimbledon Open, its status is higher than that of the French and Australian Opens. The tournament is held every year, usually in the eighth. Held in the second half of the month. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    This is a highly commercialized country. The commercialization of professional tennis is no less than that of professional rugby and professional boxing. Both men and women singles champions of the U.S. Open can receive more than $1 million in prize money and win prizes in four major tournaments. highest.


    "As early as 1989, the US Open involved more than 100 million US dollars of money."


    The two players on the green hard ground are still warming up. Charlize Theron sitting in the box whispered to Ryan about some of the US Open. "This session is said to have received the support of many large groups, regardless of the bonus. Still, TV broadcast fees have reached new highs."


    "Oh, Charlie, you know so much."


    Looking at the cameras that swept over from time to time, Ryan simply took off his sunglasses. Anyway, he was harassed by reporters before he came in. "It looks like you not only like football, but also tennis?"


    "Actually, I still like basketball." Charlize took off his hat generously and asked, "Haven''t you seen me in sports programs?"


    "I''m very busy." Ryan made a gesture that you understand. "I''ve heard people say that you recently became a supporter of the Los Angeles Lakers?"


    "Don''t you think going to a football game is the best way to relieve stress?"


    The game was about to start. She clapped her palms with the audience, leaned in and continued, "I don''t want to let my life work in addition to work."


    "The game is about to start."


    Ryan lifted his chin to the court. Charlize shrugged and closed his mouth temporarily.


    This is not only the men¡¯s singles final but also the last match of the current US Open. The opponents are the famous king Sampras and Tatar Marat Safin...


    Art Ashe Stadium can be regarded as Sampras''s home court. His supporters are clearly in the majority. But contrary to the applause of supporters, Sampras is obviously old. In the face of Safin, who was more powerful, younger and taller, he couldn''t take advantage of him. The first set took nearly an hour before losing four to six.


    "Pete is in danger."


    The old man Stan Lee, who was sitting on the other side of Ryan, finally broke the silence. He shook his head and said, "The two tie-breaks in the semifinals consumed too much energy for him. Perhaps today''s finals will be upset."


    "According to Stan, the US Open is about to give birth to a new champion."


    Ryan didn''t care who would become the champion, but instead asked about work, "Stan. How was the audition for "Spider-Man"?"


    "Although the final result hasn''t come out yet." Stan Lee''s eyes receded from the venue where the game was restored. "If there is no accident, the actor will be the Toby Maguire you recommended, but the heroine... Hmm. We prefer Kirsten Dunst, she is also a standard New York girl."


    In fact, Paris Hilton, who used to be clamoring to be the heroine, did not participate in the audition. "Charlie Girl 2" has entered the preparatory stage, and a considerable part of the shooting time will overlap with "Spider-Man."


    Mary Jane from the previous life took back this role, which is also a good choice.


    The game continued. The two players showed the audience the top level of tennis today. Serves with speeds exceeding 120 miles per hour frequently appeared. Once in the tug-of-war, Sampras, who was physically at a disadvantage, would almost be killed. Death is suppressed.


    "Ryan, are you interested in entering the sports world?"


    Hearing Stan Lee''s words, Ryan was taken aback for a moment, "What?"


    "Acquire a team." Stan Lee looked at the seats of the main sponsor. "To put it bluntly, the various leagues in North America are just the playthings of big groups and rich people."


    Regarding the North American tournament league, Ryan doesn¡¯t know much about it. He knows the most influential Super Bowl. However, I have vaguely heard others say that whether it¡¯s nfl or nba, each team has a consortium or rich man behind the scenes. Shadow.


    Although some people make money by running clubs, such as the Glazer family who owns several different teams, most of them are just like Stan Lee said.


    The most typical one is Larry Ellison. This madman not only sponsored the America¡¯s Cup, but later bought a team to compete...


    "Stan, can you help me contact the New York Yankees'' board of directors and shareholders?" Ryan smiled and said to Stan Lee jokingly, "I''m very interested in buying the symbol of New York."


    "You are really going to trouble me." Stan Lee''s eyes fell on the green court again, "If you are interested, choose another goal."


    "You can buy the Los Angeles Lakers." Charlize Theron suddenly said, "This team is in Los Angeles, so close to us..."


    "Honey, I was just joking with Stan."


    Seeing Charlize''s slightly disappointed expression, Ryan patted her on the arm and comforted, "After this time, we can go to Europe to buy a football team."


    Speaking of this, Ryan''s suddenly had an idea. After waving his hand to Charlize next to him, he ignored the game on the court and fell into thinking.


    As long as the situation in the stock market improves, Michael Eisner will definitely drag the entire Disney to attack him. Even if his secret countermeasures are sufficiently concealed, he cannot guarantee to completely avoid Disney¡¯s sight. If he can be on the bright side. The launch of a vigorous acquisition activity, which has made a lot of noise all over the world, will definitely play a deceptive role.


    The feasibility of the Mingxiu plank road to darken the warehouse has been proven countless times on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.


    The acquisition of a football club with a long enough history, brilliant achievements and great influence in the world will definitely cause explosive hype in the media and attract a lot of attention.


    However, there are not many such clubs in the world.


    It looks like Real Madrid is a good choice, but it is a membership club...


    Shaking his head, Ryan dissipated the random thoughts in his head. After all, it will take a long time for the stock market to stabilize again, and it is impossible for Disney to devote too much energy to the Pixar studio in a short period of time.


    "Aren''t you really thinking about buying the Los Angeles Lakers?"


    Probably seeing Ryan thinking, Charlize Theron had to speak, "I was just a joke."


    "Let''s watch the game." Ryan reminded her.


    The second set has come to the end of the game. Because of consecutive breaks, Sampras may be able to recover infinitely less, and his physical strength has seriously affected the state of the tennis king.


    In the front side of this box, there is Sampras¡¯s wife, Brigitte Wilson, who obviously saw that her husband is in poor condition today, and her face looks a little lonely.


    Seeing this little star who had appeared in "I Know What You Did Last Summer" in his previous life, Ryan suddenly remembered the biggest gossip in the tennis world in the previous life. Like the girls who think that the San Fernando Valley is the back door to Hollywood, they plunge into it for money and future.


    As a result, when she married Sampras, the original producer immediately made some of her films into video tapes, and sold them to the United States, and even promoted "Enjoy the pleasure of Sampras." The words, the relationship between the celebrity couple almost broke...


    It seems to be something in the next few years, right? Ryan''s past life was just seen as a lace, which was vaguely impressed.


    But Sampras showed enough tolerance, no matter what happened to the middle two, he chose to forgive Bridget Wilson in the end.


    After losing three to six in the second set, Sampras''s physical strength declined even more severely in the third set. If it weren''t for his rich experience and excellent technique, he might be given a sweet by Safin in this set. Circle, but in the end it was still inevitable to lose three to six.


    When the Tatar on the spot raised his hands to celebrate, Ryan said a word to Charlize, left the stands and walked into the VIP dressing room.


    Although the award-giving guests are more like soy sauce, this kind of formal occasion is not suitable for his current sportswear dress. After returning, he quickly changed into his formal dress.


    At each US Open, the organizers will invite heavyweight award-giving guests. Although they have not yet figured out why they invited themselves, Ryan still maintains the necessary etiquette, with the president of the US Tennis Association and the host from cbs. After the man greeted him, he followed them and walked into the Art Ashe Stadium.


    As imagined, Safin is the focus on this occasion, and everyone else will consciously set aside enough time to speak for this championship.


    The current head of the United States Tennis Association only announced the total number of spectators this year and the prize amount for the champions and runners-up, giving up the focus.


    After Sampras said almost his testimonials Ryan delivered the prize plate belonging to the runner-up to his hands, whispered, "Pete, you are our pride in tennis, keep working hard, come on !"


    "Thank you!"


    The treatment of the champion was different. When Ryan picked up the trophy, the old sports show supporter of cbs brought the microphone in front of him.


    "We have witnessed a new young champion."


    In this kind of occasion, it¡¯s a good idea to say something like, "I wish you more success in the future, as great as Sampras."


    After sending the championship trophy, Ryan has completed his task. Although the organizer still has a reception after the game, he does not intend to participate.


    Came here to watch the U.S. Open finals and serve as award-giving guests, just for interest.


    In fact, Ryan''s motor nerves have always been good, especially in the sports that he often participates in high-class social communication, such as tennis, horse racing, and golf. His level of amateur level can be justified. ()

 Chapter 462： Cartoon market

    "There used to be a lovely princess, but she was controlled by terrible magic. Only the first kiss of true love can break this magic. She is in a castle guarded by a fire-breathing dragon. There are many brave knights. I wanted to save her from this prison that I was afraid of, but none of them succeeded."


    Charlize Theron was sitting on the sofa in the presidential suite, looking at the newly printed manuscript, and reciting in an aria way, "She is locked in the highest room of the castle guarded by the fire-breathing dragon, waiting for the first kiss of true love. That won''t happen..."


    After reading a few short character settings, Charlize turned this page and asked Ryan, who was still typing on the keyboard, "Honey, this is the first one you prepared for DreamWorks Animation Studios. Animated feature film?"


    "This is exactly the type of anti-fairy tale." She added.


    "Actually, it''s still a fairy tale." Ryan looked back at the lazy South African diamond, "but he targeted a wider age range."


    Since the establishment of DreamWorks Animation Studios, the works have been well received. It can be said that there are problems with the strategic policy. The subjects of "Little Ants" and "Prince of Egypt" are too serious to attract lower-age audiences, and the box office The defeated "Brave into the Golden City" is too young, leading to ignoring the most important audience in the animation market.


    "So, do you want to use this animation to restore the decline of the DreamWorks Animation Studio?" Unlike Natalie''s indifferent, Charlize is very enthusiastic about many things. "But Shrek''s original comics don''t Not very popular, it completely violates the tradition of fairy tales."


    "Charlie, movies and comics are completely different carriers." Ryan explained briefly and said, "According to my imagination, the biggest feature of this movie is to mock all classic fairy tales and subvert the average person. Stereotypes of fairy tales."


    This script is not just a simple adaptation of the script. Ryan has added a lot of suggestions and notes. Although the main line of the story has not changed, it has been so many years since the previous life, and the specific details have long been blurred.


    He has written so many scripts over the years, and he has a good grasp of Hollywood''s usual plots and methods. It is not too difficult to complete this script with the memory of few previous lives.


    The script has not been completed yet. Firstly, it requires careful design and consumes a lot of energy; secondly, his negotiation with DreamWorks is still in the see-saw stage, and no agreement has been reached yet.


    With such a great opportunity in front of him, Ryan naturally wants to get more shares. It would be great if he could become the largest shareholder.


    Of course, the object of the negotiation is the agent of the Big Three of DreamWorks. It is obviously impossible to get too many shares without paying a sufficient price.


    Charlize Theron was still looking at some of the completed scripts. Ryan struck another script and changed other tasks.


    With the lengthening of the years, the memory of his previous life has become farther and farther away. Although his mind is very useful, it is not a database that can be inquired if he wants to query. If he wants to continue to maintain his dominant position in movies, if only It is obviously impossible to rely on the memory of previous lives.


    Compared to those who can dominate the situation with ease, Ryan''s success comes from a combination of many aspects. Enough hard work and a clear understanding of himself must be an indispensable condition.


    Whether it is a live-action film or an animated feature film, what are the basic elements for success?


    If Ryan is allowed to answer, he has only one answer-it will be welcomed by the vast majority of the audience.


    The movie market is composed of individual audiences. Although the appreciation tastes are different and sometimes difficult to grasp, what Ryan wants to do is simple and that is to please the vast majority of audiences.


    If you want to grasp the taste of the audience, you must do enough research on the market. The research and consulting company he founded has developed rapidly in the past few years because of abundant funds. Although it has some concealed thoughts, Ryan has more But I want to play the original role of this kind of company.


    Since talking with Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, under Ryan¡¯s instruction, the company has done a very detailed research on the animation market. They sent the original original Data, and the analysis results of animation film experts,


    He now has Pixar Studio and Blue Sky Studio in his hands, and will soon become a shareholder of DreamWorks Animation Studio. Such research will bring these companies first-hand market-oriented information.


    The most typical one is naturally the audience of animated films. According to the survey, among the current animation audiences in North America, under 13 years old account for 11, 14-17 years old account for 59, and 18 years old or older account for 30. The themes of animated feature films and The result of the content being too young can be imagined.


    After the decline of Disney''s animation department, the leader of Hollywood animation films is Pixar Studios. Even if it has not established its position in this industry as in the previous life, the big sales of three animated feature films have shown sufficient potential.


    The styles of Pixar and Disney are significantly different. It uses a child¡¯s perspective to describe issues that adults cannot ignore. Although it will make it difficult for young children to understand, as the survey results show, talents over thirteen years old are animation directors. The main consumer of movies, movies with tears in laughter of all ages, are obviously more popular in the market.


    This is Hollywood, where the first focus is on commercials. Although there are also preaching elements hidden in the animated films, the educational and significance are not so obvious, which leads to the simple content of the cartoons that originally brought joy and boring content, which was abandoned by the market. .


    Compared with live-action movies, a single animated feature film will bring more benefits. Ryan knows this well, so the first acquisition target is Pixar Studios.


    The launch of every successful animated film means the birth of a new cartoon star. These cartoon stars are different from traditional stars in that many of them have maintained their shining brilliance for decades, so that once their When the image appears, many people can recall their names, and they can be called the real stars of the century.


    For example, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, even today, they are still making outstanding contributions to Disney.


    This is due to the characters'' meticulous portrayal skills, the detailed emotions and the characters'' extremely obvious characteristic expressions also make the animated film more realistic.


    The creation of music is actually the most significant feature of Hollywood animation movies. Classic animation and classic music. Music has almost become another representative of animation movies. Each animation work is original based on the plot or uses several or even dozens of songs. The music matches.


    After the screening of many animated film works, in addition to the introduction of basic audio-visual products, they will also release original animated music albums. These albums tend to achieve extremely high-selling results, such as "The Lion King" in this life.


    A few years ago, before the release of "The Lion King 2", Disney once again sent "The Lion King" to theaters, making the film''s global box office total more than 800 million US dollars.


    According to the sharing agreement signed at the time, even today, "The Lion King" can bring a lot of income to Ryan every year. In addition to the box office and peripheral products, the copyright shares sold to Broadway and Italians are just like The active water generally churns and flows.


    All these show the strong technical force of large-scale media group companies and the advantages brought by the operation of the entire industry chain.


    As a giant in Hollywood animation film production, Disney has all the execution capabilities from story creation, mid-term production, post-post announcement to derivative production, industry-wide operations, and the integration of advantageous resources to ensure the high quality of Disney''s animation works. .


    With nearly ninety years of creation and accumulation, Disney has learned more about which types of animated films and story content the market is more receptive to, and what types of changes the market needs.


    Perhaps in terms of technology, Pixar Studio has an absolute advantage, but these are definitely not surpassed in a short time.


    Enriching the diversified story themes as soon as possible, strengthening the grasp of the details, and dividing the audience according to the nature, are all things Ryan is doing or about to do, and to maximize the benefits, he needs to be like Disney The whole industry chain operation.


    In this age, how difficult is it to establish or integrate a brand new industrial chain? The failure of DreamWorks in the past life is undoubtedly the best example.


    Therefore, Ryan never thought of integrating a brand new industrial chain.


    Speaking of the industry chain, he remembered the situation he was about to face. After being driven out of the manor by Nicole that day, he deliberately cast his eyes on George, just to give some things to Nicole. Now that he has reached such a point, then Just let her go crazy once, so as to vent the accumulated anger, but the two of them can only be passers-by for a long time...


    "What do you think?"


    Suddenly there was a soft and wet touch on the cheeks, and then Charlize''s voice sounded in his ears, "I called you several times and didn''t hear it."


    "About animation production and distribution." Ryan said briefly and then changed the subject, "It''s late?"


    "Hmm~"


    The softly humming nasal sound brought out a warm breath, which directly spread to Ryan''s face, "We should rest! You have to rush to meet with Director Lucas tomorrow."


    "Yeah~"


    Before going to Lanai, Ryan did a meticulous examination and found that his foot injury had healed. The contract for the filming of "Star Wars Episode 1" should also be fulfilled. He pointed to the laptop screen, "I''m done with this. A few emails, very soon."


    "Dear."


    Charlize didn''t care what Ryan said, grabbed one of his hands, slowly placed it on his chest, squinted his slender eyes, and asked softly, "Do you think it''s comfortable to touch here, or touch it? Is the keyboard and mouse comfortable?"


    Listening to the suggestive words, where did Ryan care about computers and emails, he directly picked up this attractive diamond and walked into the bedroom. rs

 Chapter 463： In the studio

    Some movies are not just movies. The "Star Wars" series of George Lucas has created a modern myth since its publication. It is also a milestone in the history of film and one of the most important cultural events of the 20th century. , This series of films, which is a comprehensive collection of American cultural expansion and penetration capabilities, has an influence throughout the world.


    Even when the first movie was born, many media called it "the most magnificent one hundred and twenty minutes since Moses opened the Red Sea."


    This series also indirectly gave birth to the world''s most powerful film special effects company-Industrial Light and Magic. It not only made George Lucas a billionaire, but also made him a relationship with Martin Scorsese and Francis. Coppola and Steven Spielberg tied for the four directors of the 1980s.


    It is difficult to determine exactly when the main content of "Star Wars Prequel" was set. In the words of Lucas in the media, this is a film that has been brewing for more than 20 years, and it can be traced back to his original sketch. In the legendary 1970s and 1980s of the Skywalker family, a cosmic war that took place in a distant galaxy began surging.


    Anyone who has watched last year''s "Star Wars: The Threat of Ghosts" will understand that the entire Star Wars is actually a history of the growth and fall of Anakin Skywalker.


    You don''t have to think too much about acting skills, and you don''t have to work hard to dig out the inner feelings of the characters. For Ryan, such a role is far easier than Spearman and Maximus.


    As for the upright figure and vigorous skill, for him, who has just shot two epic masterpieces, it is not a problem at all.


    What''s more, the fights in the movie are more romantic and elegant.


    In order to save money, all the shots of the crew in the studio will be completed at the Fox Studios in the suburbs of Sydney. Although George Lucas raised US$130 million in production costs for the film, Ryan can It''s not Haicheng Christensen in his previous life, it''s just the huge pay and box office share. It gave George Lucas tremendous pressure.


    "I just hope your appeal is still strong."


    Sitting in the director''s chair, George Lucas looked at Ryan, who was fiddling with the camera, "If all your supporters can turn into Star Wars fans. I think the clones'' offense will definitely exceed the previous one."


    "George, don''t be too greedy." Ryan dressed as a Jedi warrior, with neat short hair and a slightly green face, shows what he should be at this age. "Think about it, among the entire Hollywood directors, there are How many are as rich as your wealth?"


    "Ryan, I think you forgot, you have more money than me and Stephen combined."


    "Hey, George. I think you overlooked one thing, I am an actor, not a director."


    Ryan took pictures of Sony¡¯s latest camera and asked, "Is this a fully digital camera provided by Sony?"


    "Well~ it can achieve 24 high-definition progressive scanning." George? Lucas is obviously very satisfied with the new model of camera equipment, "the new camera will help us speed up the shooting progress. The clone attack will become the number one. A film that was fully digitally shot, produced and shown."


    Although the other party is not as crazy and obsessed with technology as Cameron, George Lucas owns Industrial Light and Magic and is also a leader in new film technology.


    "Film entering the digital realm is a natural transition, just like from silent film to sound film, from black and white film to color film. Digital cameras are just another tool for us to create films."


    Speaking of the ever-changing film technology, Ryan suddenly thought of the notice from the crew some time ago, and asked, "George. Is this the relationship between you and the latter two parts?"


    "Technology is constantly advancing, and the third film will be released four to five years at the earliest. Who knows what kind of technology will come out at that time?"


    Originally, in view of the shooting mode of The Matrix, George Lucas wanted to shoot the last two parts at once, but he developed faster and faster special effects technology. Obviously made him change his mind.


    According to the setting in the script, more than 95% of the plot of this movie is generated by special effects. Although it will be on location, most of the shots will be completed under the blue screen of Fox Studios.


    Even Master Yoda himself. It will also be synthesized entirely by computer technology for the first time.


    Leaving the camera, Ryan opened the script, familiar with his characters and lines, and looked at the location of the women''s dressing room from time to time.


    He came to the crew to report yesterday. I don''t know whether it was because of missing time or the other party was deliberately avoiding him. The two never met.


    But today, there are a few rival scenes, and they won''t show up yet, right?


    It didn¡¯t take long for Amidala...ah, no, the Long Island girl dressed up by Senator Padm¨¦ appeared on his eyelids. Compared to Natalie¡¯s actual age, she looked mature after makeup. A lot.


    Gorgeous costumes are definitely one of the effects pursued by this space opera. Needless to say, Queen Amidala''s dress in the first part is not to be mentioned. Even if she becomes a member of Padm¨¦ after leaving office, Natalie¡¯s costume is still only To describe it as cumbersome, and compared to the first one, this one is almost completely turned into a vase.


    However, the female characters in general commercial productions are basically vases.


    There is also the costume of the Jedi Knight. The robe looks really mighty and maestro, but after putting it on, you must pay attention to it when you act, otherwise, let alone fighting, you have to be careful even when you walk.


    "Hi, Nat."


    After Ryan walked over, he said in an official manner, "There is still some time before the shooting starts. I think we should check the scene beforehand."


    Natalie didn''t have any expression or said anything. She maintained this attitude for half a minute before nodding slowly.


    This is just work...


    She told herself in her heart that this is the professional ethics that an actor should have.


    Try to stabilize her emotions as much as possible. Natalie wanted to face the guy who was chanting the lines in a low voice with the usual heart when facing other actors. However, her reaction betrayed her true heart, no matter what Ryan said. What the dialogue is, she always takes a slower shot.


    "Nate, you are... not in shape today."


    Upon hearing the question from the other side, Natalie quietly clenched her fist and said calmly, "This is my job, and I will adjust it as soon as possible."


    "I hope you don''t let me stay with you all afternoon because of you." This Xiaobian voice is so familiar and so unfamiliar.


    Familiar, because before they became adults, two people would ridicule each other in this tone for a lot of time, just like hitting each other to maximize their happiness. It seems that he has been arguing with himself since he was eight years old. Art to science, from current affairs to gossip, that is the most beautiful memory.


    Unfamiliar, both of them have learned to be tolerant when they grow up, especially he, even if he has different opinions from his own, will not quarrel anymore. After the age of sixteen, he no longer uses this tone...


    Almost subconsciously, Natalie replied, "Someone seems to have said that the talent in acting is far worse than me."


    "But this man has been nominated for the best actor Oscar four times in a row." Ryan''s lips put on an imperceptible smile, "Is recognized as the best acting person among the younger generation."


    "It''s a pity that everyone doesn''t know his true face!" Natalie seemed sober, "You are a demon!"


    After speaking, she closed the script and walked to the camera.


    Why did you listen to his persuasion in the first place? Why take the role of Padm¨¦? Amidala?


    Natalie quietly asked the cameraman for some knowledge about shooting. It seemed that everything just now didn''t happen at all, as if her heart was calm as she was on the outside, and she seemed to have no doubt about her choice.


    Only she knows, only this strong and proud girl knows why she chose Padm¨¦ Amidala as the vase role.


    This has nothing to do with anyone''s persuasion, just because this is the "Star Wars" series that has a huge impact in the United States and even the world! Just because Padm¨¦ Amidala is the heroine of this trilogy! Just because this character can spread her name to every corner of the world!


    Just like choosing Portman as the last name, she will use all available conditions to create the greatest benefits for herself.


    I am always making the most advantageous choice!


    Thinking like this in her heart, Natalie found Ryan from the corner of her eyes, her brown eyes are full of complexity, no wonder we have such a tacit understanding, no wonder we can always find the frequency of resonance, because in essence, me and him They are all the same people.


    Withdrawing her gaze, Natalie listened to the cameraman¡¯s explanation of some shots, her mind was always rolling, although she said decisive words and did decisive things, but ten years of feelings and invisible benefits, where did she want to throw away Can be thrown away?


    Forget it, I''d better finish my part as soon as possible and go back to Harvard. If you can''t see it, maybe your heart will be pure.


    Perhaps it really calmed down. Ryan was surprised to find that when she was officially shooting, after a few moments, Natalie quickly got rid of the inexplicable state of the scene, and several shots were completed smoothly.


    Of course, this is also related to the fact that George Lucas''s requirements are not particularly strict.


    After the Long Island Girl left the studio, Ryan could only stay and learn Jedi martial arts with stunt director Nick Girard.


    Although he starred in two action movies in a row, Ryan does not need to participate in the training camp before the shooting, but the fighting in Star Wars is completely different from Gladiator and Lord of the Rings. With a chrome-plated rubber rod, it looks more fancy or flashy.


    When he finished training and left, Ryan refused the invitation of Ivan McGregor, and George drove into the bustling Sydney city.


    "Does she go every day?"


    "This is not North America." George replied. "Eighteen years old is in line with the law." ()

 Chapter 464： Ryans Faith

    This is a bar on Queen Street. After Ryan opened the door to enter, he realized that there was no noise from a normal bar. The stage in front was not heavy metal, but soothing country folk songs. Even the guests were mostly single women. If he hadn''t seen a few heterosexual couples, he would even wonder if he had walked into a **** bar.


    Looking across the bar, Ryan walked straight to a corner and sat opposite the girl holding the wine glass.


    "Whiskey?"


    The trademark on the bottle clearly reminded Ryan. He looked around again. Only Natalie¡¯s two female bodyguards were nearby, "Nate..."


    "What are you doing?" Natalie blushed, opened her blurred eyes, and raised her voice slightly, "I don''t want to see you."


    Just listening to the voice, Ryan knew she was a little drunk, and immediately grabbed her glass, "Don''t drink anymore, Nat!"


    "I don''t need you to care, why do you care about me?" Natalie glared fiercely, "Don''t forget, we don''t care."


    "you''re drunk¡­¡­"


    "Leave me alone, if you want to take care of women, go to Charlize Theron." After Natalie blocked Ryan''s words back, she simply grabbed the bottle and took a gulp in an instant.


    Maybe it was because she drank too eagerly, her small face was flushed, and she coughed several times.


    Just about to **** the wine bottle, Ryan was greeted by his brown eyes, staring straight at him, probably getting alcoholic. Natalie¡¯s words were obviously a lot more intense, "You know, Ryan? I really want to take this The wine bottle, smashed it on your head, but I couldn''t get it off!"


    "You are a nightmare, I can''t shake it off." The drunk Natalie obviously lost her former calmness, "I decided to forget you. Why did you show up again?"


    "Because I signed a contract with the crew." Ryan said in a voice that only they could hear. "You also signed a contract with the crew."


    "Can''t you breach the contract? Don''t tell me, you can''t even pay the penalty."


    The wine bottle fell heavily on the table with a bang. Natalie waved her hands unconsciously. "I don''t want to see you, please disappear please? Please disappear..."


    The girl''s face was rarely wronged. It seems to cry at any time.


    Everyone has a weak side in their hearts. Ryan has never seen Natalie like this. Nat is always proud and confident, and always vowed to become the number one Natalie Portman. All these cover up the other side of a woman''s nature.


    In the previous life, the distance between the two of them was a Pacific Ocean. Natalie in this life is just like he had heard before. Perhaps only when she is drunk, she will only show the slight weakness of this only existence, and wait until tomorrow to wake up. Later, she will become the Natalie Portman in memory.


    "Why didn''t you disappear? Would you please disappear?"


    The girl opposite was still talking unconsciously drunk. Ryan grabbed her hands and held them firmly without any relaxation, "You drank too much. Nat, I''ll take you back to the hotel."


    Ryan winked at Natalie¡¯s two female bodyguards, and the two of them helped Natalie to the door, one left and the other, and it was probably this kind of thing that had happened before. The bar doorman just glanced. , Opened the door for them.


    George drove the car and waited at the door. The two female bodyguards stuffed Natalie into the back seat of the car and drove the car they had come.


    "Back to the Hilton Hotel."


    When Ryan finished giving orders, George simply raised the baffle separating the front and rear seats.


    A girl, or a girl who doesn''t drink much like Natalie, drank a few glasses of whiskey, and the consequences can be imagined.


    The Long Island girl''s cheeks are red like ripe apples, and the wine is full of strength, and occasionally she will hiccup a few wines. The only thing that makes Ryan feel lucky is that her wine is not bad, except for muttering. Apart from whispering, no crying and making noise.


    Natalie leaned completely in his arms, as in the past, firmly holding his arm, obviously forgot where she was, but the murmur from her mouth made Ryan sigh slightly. .


    "Ryan Jenkins, I won''t let you go, you playboy..."


    "Remember what I said before, don''t give me a chance, otherwise I will definitely throw you into the Pacific Ocean to feed the fish!"


    "Hollywood... Couldn''t Hollywood really find a good man?"


    "Nate, be brave! Will you die if you don''t want him?"


    If it hadn''t been for this proud and calm girl to get drunk, Ryan believed that perhaps he would never have seen this scene.


    In fact, no one, including him, has a weak side. It''s just that some people are strong enough in their hearts to seldom reveal the other side.


    Nat!


    Listening to the girl''s drunken talk, Ryan unconsciously hugged her tightly, and he would not let her leave anyway.


    This was her idol in the previous life, and her lover in this life. Ryan knew about Natalie''s career ambitions. Since the feelings cannot be compensated, then help her realize her ambitions and sex.


    Natalie Portman first?


    Ryan shook his head. After all, this world is reality. Hollywood is more powerful and commercialized than decades ago. He wants to be the number one Natalie Portman and a legend in Hollywood. Without the support of powerful forces, Can it be done by personal effort alone?


    In her previous life, Natalie''s Jewish status must have given her a huge help, but these help will definitely be limited to a certain range.


    The accident in Northampton also broke Ryan''s final fantasy. Dreams are always dreams, and they will not turn into reality over time.


    In the past, he always pushed back, dreaming that time could solve everything, but time is both a ruthless **** and the biggest waste. If you don''t know how to use it, how can it stand up to help?


    When everything is missed, time always jumps out and laughs mockingly, mocking human ignorance and stupidity.


    It is like an audience in the stands, it will only pass by with a smile, even if the front is full of traps and cliffs, even if it hits its head and blood and bones, even if the most precious treasure slips away from it, it is too lazy to remind Even one sentence!


    "Nate, don''t leave me, okay!"


    Whether it is God, Satan, or some unknown old guy, since you let yourself come into this world, you must always turn some greedy ambitions into reality.


    A woman who loves herself! Protect your own interests!


    On the Sydney Street leading to the Hilton Hotel, this guy who has never had faith gave up his last innocence and illusion, and determined his belief or goal.


    When he came to the suite belonging to Natalie, Ryan waved his hand casually. After the two female bodyguards handed the drunk girl to him, they left.


    Holding the girl who is as light as a feather, Ryan kicked open the bedroom door, put her on the big bed, carefully removed the girl¡¯s shoes, socks and coat, got a hot and humid towel from the bathroom, and wiped it carefully. With a slightly rough face, Natalie seemed to be asleep, and occasionally her lips would flip a few times, and a few words that didn''t make sense came out.


    It was the first time Ryan had this experience in so many years. It was inevitable that she was a little clumsy. Fortunately, the drunk girl fell deeply into sleep and would not complain.


    "May you have a good dream, Nat." Ryan put the water glass on the bedside table. "The protagonists in the dream will be you and me."


    After covering her with the quilt, Ryan walked out of the bedroom, and Natalie was embarrassed the next day, and he returned directly to the presidential suite he had packaged.


    Back in the room, nodded to George, Ryan took a shower first, then sat in front of the laptop, and started the unfinished Shrek again.


    The rising sun reflected the red light through the window with no curtains closed. Natalie subconsciously covered her hands in front of her eyes. This movement seemed to drive her head, and she was awakened by the pain in an instant.


    Where am I? Natalie opened her eyes suspiciously, and the scene in her eyes was very familiar. This was her bedroom.


    It seems that Lina and the others sent themselves back again.


    Thinking about this, Natalie sat up slowly, although the headaches caused by the hangover would come from time to time, but recently, she has adapted to this state.


    Alcohol is a good way to forget about pain, isn''t it?


    However, when she woke up, Natalie immediately noticed a different place. The curtains were not tightened, and shoes and clothes were scattered and thrown aside. There was still a white towel hanging on the hanger next to it...


    It was not the first time that she was drunk. Lina was both serious and careful. They had never been so clumsy before.


    Knocking her head gently, the things of last night gradually came back to her mind, Natalie couldn''t help frowning. The last picture she remembered was getting into Ryan''s car.


    Would this **** take the opportunity to do something to himself?


    Natalie touched her body vigilantly, the underwear she was wearing was the same as yesterday, and she didn''t feel any abnormality in her body, which relieved her heart.


    Jumping out of the bed and gently opening the door, Natalie looked at the living room ~ www.novelhall.com~ which was empty. She turned around, leaned against the wall, and let out a long breath.


    I was actually drunk in front of that bastard!


    She gritted her teeth without restraint. What was her state after she was drunk? She heard two personal bodyguards say that if you let the **** know that she has been in pain, she has never looked so calm and indifferent...


    No... Natalie, you have to be strong!


    The girl patted her cheek hard, covered her forehead and walked towards the bathroom.


    Even if you are not strong, you must pretend to be strong enough!


    Letting the cool water wash away from last night''s hangover, Natalie slowly raised her head in response to the falling water droplets, like a seagull preparing for a violent storm.


    Come on, Nat! As long as you can survive, as long as you can face him calmly...


    Natalie lowered her head suddenly, and water drops dripping down her long brown hair like rain. Will he give up? Don''t you know what kind of person he is? ()

 Chapter 465： Feelings are like human hearts

    Looking around, there is a blue screen all around. Ryan is sitting in the driving position of the model suspension car and making an''ok'' gesture to the camera. After being signaled by George Lucas, the assistant director''s voice Passed it over.


    "The twenty-fifth scene, the thirty-fifth scene, now begins!"


    Four cameras mounted on the slide rails surround Ryan from the front, rear, left and right, and the suspended model car swayed slightly, creating a feeling of bumps in driving. As for other backgrounds, it is necessary to rely on the cg special effects in the later stage. Added.


    Since "Titanic", Ryan has been accustomed to performing against the green and blue screens. He clenched the steering stick, as if he was actually manipulating the floating car in the sky.


    After rehearsing several times in advance, Ryan kept in mind the law of the car shaking. When the car was about to turn to the left, he twisted the lever to the left, and when the car was about to go to the right, he twisted the lever to the right.


    It always seems to be perfect. This is a space opera after all. George Lucas¡¯s requirements for actors will not be as perverted as James Cameron...


    Just in front of the model car, another assistant of George Lucas made a gesture to him, and Ryan understood that the other party was reminding him that it was time to pull up.


    Pulling the operating lever slightly hard, Ryan suddenly heard a slight cracking sound, and then... the operating lever on the left was pulled from the model car by him.


    "Cut!" George Lucas'' voice sounded.


    Ryan grabbed the joystick and gestured to the camera, with an innocent expression on his face.


    "You can''t blame me..."


    Jumping out of the maglev car, he handed the control lever to the props crew, and came to the place where the actors gathered, and opened his hands to Ivan McGregor and Christopher Lee innocently, "Why am I the one who accidentally happened? What?"


    "Don''t complain, Ryan." Saruman was once. The current Earl Dooku laughed, "You don''t want to see these accidents happen to me, right?"


    In fact, after meeting Natalie at the bar that day, Ryan seemed to be possessed by a mold. Various accidents kept appearing during the shooting. Fortunately, the various safety measures in the studio are extremely in place, so there is no injury.


    Yesterday. When filming the scene where he and Obi-Wan chased the bounty hunter, he had inexplicably fallen three times in a row and became the most funny person in the crew, even George Lucas claimed. These pictures should be put in the DVD album that will be released later.


    Of course, Ryan is young and strong, and has experience in "The Lord of the Rings" and "Gladiator". This is nothing, at best, it makes the atmosphere of the crew easier, if you are nearly 80 years old. Christopher Lee encountered these accidents, and it is estimated that the crew has already jumped up and down.


    "Ryan. When everyone is filming, there is always a stage of bad luck."


    In fact, even Ivan McGregor felt inexplicable about these things. At this time, he could only say, "It will get better soon."


    "I hope so."


    Frankly speaking. Although small accidents keep appearing, shooting Anakin Skywalker is obviously a lot easier than the previous roles. Ryan also knows that George Lucas''s first priority is not the performance of the actors. Secondly, Star Wars Is itself a space opera.


    The prop car was quickly repaired. After Ryan finished this scene, he followed the crew and changed to another set up studio. Natalie, who had put on makeup, was already ready. (Pingnan Literature Net)


    In this filming, Ryan and Natalie had too many rival scenes.


    "Hi, Nat." Ryan walked to her and beckoned.


    Natalie looked away from the script and looked up at him. Only she herself understood the complexity.


    "The following is our opponent''s scene." Ryan seemed to have not seen it, and said to himself the previous things, "I still remember, when I was young, you always said that if there is a chance to appear in the same scene, You will definitely let me see your acting skills."


    Seeing the girl didn''t seem to have any reaction, Ryan continued, "At that time, Nat was proud, confident, stubborn and aggressive, but unlike now, she would become a drunkard every night."


    "Do you think I want to?" Natalie finally said, "If it weren''t for you..."


    "Oh, it''s about to start shooting." Ryan interrupted him directly, pointing to the assistant behind the camera who was beckoning to the two of them, "Let''s go, it''s our turn to play."


    After finishing talking, when she walked towards the set that was set up as a restaurant, Natalie''s eyes flashed unwillingly, but this was a public place. She had to pay attention to the good image she had built for a long time, and she had no choice but to follow.


    This is a very simple dining scene, focusing on Ryan''s Anakin Skywalker.


    Natalie, dressed as Senator Padm¨¦, gently stirred the drink in front of her with a spoon, looked at the other side and said, "This must be difficult? As a Jedi, you must make a lifelong vow... not to go where you like. Can¡¯t do what you like..."


    "Can''t be with the person you like yet." The sky-blue eyes stared at the brown eyes tightly, and they seemed to be speaking only lines.


    "Then can you fall in love?" Natalie showed the good qualities of a good actor, "I think Jedi is forbidden to fall in love."


    "Spouse, no possessions! Property, no possessions! Pity, we define him as unconditional love!" Such a person is simply terrifying, "This is the center of a Jedi life, so you can also say that we are Encourage to love."


    "You have changed so much!" The woman opposite said almost subconsciously, "It''s not like the you I knew before."


    "Your change is so small." The sky-blue eyes were almost frozen on her face, "It''s just like the people I dreamed of in my dreams and those I''ve always missed."


    Natalie glanced at him, quickly avoided the direct gaze, lowered her head, and under the cover of the turban, Ryan saw her slightly pursed lips.


    For the rest of the day, apart from a few McGregor shots, almost all of them were shooting rival scenes between Ryan and Natalie. Maybe they really wanted to compete with Ryan, or maybe they wanted to prove something, Natalie. Obviously showing all the strength, for a character like Padm¨¦ Amidala, her performance can be described as stunning.


    Your change is so small! This is Ryan¡¯s emotion. Although she saw a rare side of Natalie when she was drunk, the sober Long Island girl is still the proud Nat, and the one who wants to overwhelm him on a certain side. Natalie Portman.


    Because George Lucas only planned for the filming schedule for the film for 80 days, Ryan stayed at ease with the crew and found Nata from time to time on the excuse of the inescapable work of opposing the scene. Li.


    Of course, he wouldn''t be so stupid to look for her in private under the current circumstances, most of which are in a studio with many people during working hours.


    Due to sufficient preparation work, the shooting went quite smoothly. Over time, Ryan also mastered the essentials of Jedi martial arts-how to look good and how to play-a few fighting scenes will also be young Anakin? Tian? The handsome and unrestrained side of the walker is incisively and vividly expressed.


    Although he has never expressed his opinion, in Ryan''s view, the story structure of the script is really not very good, not to mention the betrayal of Anakin in the third part, only Anakin Skywalker and Padm¨¦ Amida. Pull the love between them, it gives people a very blunt feeling.


    Anakin is okay, after all, the other party left a deep impression on him when he was a teenager, what about Padm¨¦ Amidala? Why does she have feelings for Anakin?


    Sympathy from the heart or maternal feelings in the soul? Or is it a long-term relationship? Or is it... the other person is handsome enough?


    Ryan didn''t intend to explore anything, after all, feelings are like human hearts, the most difficult to figure out.


    Another fighting scene was about to begin. With the help of a stylist, Ryan carefully checked the clothes and props on his body, especially the clothes. The gorgeous costumes designed by the movie brought him a lot of trouble.


    Picking up his chrome-plated rubber rod, Ryan walked to his opponent, Christopher Lee, but the two would only wave the rubber rod in the air, and would not actually do it.


    Christopher Lee will soon be eighty years old, and let such a handful of old bones appear in the fighting scene himself, unless George Lucas is crazy.


    After shooting the shot of Anakin and Earl Dooku facing away, Ryan took the blue rubber rod handed over by the prop master, plus the green rubber rod in his hand. Once the stuntman is in place, there will be a double sword. War.


    Like all action scenes, almost all fighting routines are well-designed. The difference is that there is no realistic style of fighting here. Although there is no laser effect added later, there are three swords, one blue, one green and one red. '', the tiger was still waving the wind by the two of Ryan, faintly with a little dazzling color.


    According to the setting in the script, the current Anakin is not Earl Dooku¡¯s opponent at all. Ryan also follows the previous routine, playing and being forced to retreat but the two have already cut each other. After killing for dozens of seconds, the direction is somewhat different from the pre-designed one.


    Ryan¡¯s energy was focused on the opponent in front and the rubber rod in his hand. He didn¡¯t notice the metal pipe of the prop behind him at all. He mixed his feet with garlic on it. As soon as he crooked, he fell to the side. Unfortunately, The thing is, this is exactly the platform for the set, and it''s a few feet short next to it.


    Because there is still her own scene next, Natalie with her makeup just sat and watched quietly, and suddenly the **** who gritted her teeth disappeared...


    She stood up unconsciously, and subconsciously followed the crowd ran over. She didn''t even know about it. Why did that faintly aching heart beat so fast?


    "Why is it always me who is unlucky?"


    The **** was lying on the thick sponge cushion without any injuries at all. He was still making some silly jokes, "I am the great Anakin Skywalker. According to the development of the script, it fell. It shouldn''t be me..."


    Natalie pursed her lips again, and then saw the assured eyes that only she could understand, she rolled her eyes, turned and walked back. ()

 Chapter 466： Location tour

    After entering October, major actors such as Ivan McGregor got vacations and returned to North America, while George Lucas took the rest of the crew and started a location tour. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    Even if you don¡¯t count the various late-stage divisions, the remuneration that the crew has to pay to Ryan reaches 20 million US dollars. This is still a friendly price. If the director is not George Lucas, Pie Jinsli will definitely get stuck. The 25 million U.S. dollar mark will not be let go.


    In this way, other expenses of the crew must be frugal. George Lucas chose all the few locations in Australia, which can save a lot of unnecessary expenses.


    The place they are going now is Newcastle, New South Wales, where there are both beautiful grasslands and clear lakes, as beautiful as the hidden Garden of Eden, very similar to the hometown of Padm¨¦ Amidala in the script. .


    After getting off the contracted train, the staff who came in advance have led the leased fleet to wait outside the train station. The crew filmed an ultra-modern sci-fi production, and there were too many equipment and props to carry.


    These people are naturally responsible. Ryan stared at the silent figure along the way. After she got into a car, she walked over and opened the door on the other side.


    "The other cars are full, can I sit here?"


    Ryan got into the back seat of the car without waiting for the person being asked for comment and said to the driver, "It''s time to go."


    Natalie put her hand on the car door, hesitated, and quietly took it back.


    Anyway, he has been dangling in front of him these days, it''s no big deal to ride in the same car, just ignore him.


    In fact, except for the necessary filming, she has been stingy to talk to him, even if it is an argument.


    Arguing in front of people? Does it make sense? If it is a dispute like when I was a child. Apart from falling in again, what other results can I have?


    Ryan knew where Natalie''s bottom line was, and just sat quietly, enjoying the scenery of New South Wales through the car window. Occasionally from the reflection in the window. Seeing the girl''s tight pretty face.


    The convoy traveled through more than half of Newcastle and arrived at the resort hotel by the lake. It is the off-season of tourism, and there are almost no guests in the hotel. From the entrance of the resort, you can faintly see the beautiful castle and green meadows by the lake.


    I don''t know it was the arrangement of the crew. It was an unintentional act of the hotel, Ryan''s room was opposite Natalie.


    "What a coincidence."


    When opening the door, Ryan noticed Natalie''s twinkling eyes and said, "I promise, it has nothing to do with me."


    Natalie didn''t say anything, and walked into her own suite.


    Did he do it? Is there any difference?


    She leaned against the wall behind the door, the indifference and calmness on her face gradually disappearing.


    I have always wanted to be independent, and have always wanted to use my talents and abilities to create my own brilliance. But actually?


    Scarlett had always thought that Ryan had protected her very well, but no one knew that when he was a minor, that guy mentioned the other side of Hollywood in his letter countless times.


    She knows exactly what kind of influence Ryan has and what kind of help these influences will bring to her development.


    Even if he does not directly intervene, the invisible influence is also over him. Everyone knows that he is his friend, and he will not make things difficult for him for no reason, and he is also afraid to use those dirty methods on himself. Even George A big director like Lucas treats himself obviously differently from others.


    These are enough to offset the darkness behind the glamour.


    Ten years of feelings have made her feel heartbroken. If all relationships are really severed, these invisible existences will definitely disappear...


    She had never felt so hesitated and helpless, and she was so full of thoughts that there was no way to find someone to tell, and the only person she could talk to was Scarlett Johansson...


    Thinking of another friend whom she had known as a child, her mouth trembled, and it was a disaster to talk to her. No matter what she said to her, the girl in the rebellious period would only sum it up with one sentence-monogamy was originally. It''s against human nature.


    This night, there was no alcohol and no groggy sleep. She suffered from insomnia and did not fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.


    So when she stood in front of Ryan, Natalie had two faint dark circles on her eyes.


    "Did you sleep well?" Ryan asked.


    "Recently tired."


    With just such a word, Natalie walked into the makeup trailer.


    Almost all the scenes filmed here are Anakin Skywalker and Padm¨¦ Amidala, and it is also an important turning point in their relationship.


    "That was my first love. His name was Paul. I was only twelve years old."


    Sitting on the grass in front of the blue screen, Natalie dressed as Padm¨¦ fiddled with the flowers and plants around her, talking about some past events, "We are at the Youth Legislative Council. He is a few years older than me and has black curly hair. Eyes like dreams are very charming."


    "What happened to him?" asked the young and young Ryan.


    "I''m in politics, he chose art."


    With that said, Natalie leaned gently on his back, her face fell on the familiar shoulder, the whole process was natural and smooth, just like they have done countless times before, just like those estrangements and quarrels have never been happened before.


    "Hey, Nat." Seeing Natalie seem to be in a trance, Ryan patted her lightly, "We should prepare for the next shot."


    Lowering her eyelids to block all eyes, Natalie slowly walked to another blue screen.


    "Unfortunately, Brigo is not here." Ryan took the lead in jumping on the blue oval prop. After post-processing, it was the unknown beast Anakin rode in the movie. "Otherwise, give it a coat. The blue curtain should be more comfortable to ride than this one."


    As he said, he stretched out his hand to Natalie, the girl hesitated, put her hand in the slender palm, and with the power from her, she got on the weird ¡®beast¡¯.


    After the assistant walked away, she suddenly said, "It''s just work."


    "Of course it''s work!" Ryan nodded in agreement and reminded, "Then you hold me tight. This thing is said to shake very badly."


    The shaking from side to side was not as severe as expected. It was not until after the shooting started that Ryan discovered that he did not know which genius designed this creature. Simulate when running. It''s like a seesaw beating up and down, and I can''t wait to turn people''s hearts upside down.


    Although this prop is just bumps in place. But Natalie obviously didn''t follow his advice just now. After a dip, she didn''t sit firmly and slid to the bottom right.


    Perhaps it is subconscious protection. Natalie''s hand caught Ryan''s neck indiscriminately. The props were already bare and there was no place to grab. Ryan immediately lost his balance and fell down with the girl.


    Probably Natalie had just borrowed the force, and the falling speed was a little slower. Ryan took the lead to hit the thick sponge cushion. Then I felt a small head hitting my lower abdomen heavily, and the sensation that surged in that instant was absolutely uncomfortable.


    The crew of the crew ran over immediately. The two men were helped up by hands and feet, and even the doctor assigned by the crew ran to the front.


    "I''m fine." Ryan waved to the doctor.


    "Take a half-hour break."


    After George Lucas¡¯s voice, Ryan walked towards the rest area, and Natalie passed by him, and an apology with almost no apology came, "I¡¯m sorry, I hurt you."


    "It''s okay." Ryan followed her and said, "I think this scene can be modified appropriately, Nat, it''s too dangerous for you."


    "No need."


    Listening to the girl''s faint voice, Ryan turned his head and walked in the direction of the director''s chair. After finding Lucas, he gave a few suggestions.


    This kind of scene has nothing to do with the overall situation. George Lucas just thought about it for a moment, and then changed Anakin to challenge the beast alone.


    Half an hour later, the crew started filming again, and Natalie became a spectator. When she saw the guy on the blue "Beast", her mood was very complicated.


    She knows that Ryan has always criticized the script of the Star Wars Prequel, but since it is someone else¡¯s work, he has never suggested amendments. In fact, this is one of the principles he has adhered to over the years...


    Since you can give up some principles for your own sake, why can''t you give up those two women?


    Bai Nen''s hand clenched into a small fist unknowingly, Natalie remembered the other side behind Hollywood''s glamour, is Hollywood really a big dye tank? Even people like him can''t avoid it? Why is reality always so cruel?


    According to George Lucas¡¯ plan, the crew would only stay here for three days to film a scene about being alone between Anakin Skywalker and Padm¨¦ Amidala.


    Although there were occasional small accidents during the shooting of the first two days, such as too many bugs on the grass, it was still very smooth in general, but on the last day, the crew encountered very big troubles.


    "Cut!"


    The temper is not a grumpy George? Lucas can only be described as irritable, "Natalie, you are kissing! Understand, it is kissing! It''s not about letting you take poison! Is it difficult to kiss Ryan? Thing?"


    "Have she never kissed Ryan?" The big director was also gossiping, but this sentence just flashed through my heart.


    Today there are only two scenes left in which there are scenes of Anakin Skywalker kissing Padm¨¦ Amidala. Even if she is smart, Natalie is only a twenty-year-old Girl, with her current mood, the result of facing such a scene can be imagined.


    "Sorry, Director Lucas." Natalie closed her eyes tightly, "I promise, I will adjust it as soon as possible."


    "You have promised that it will be almost twenty times!" Lucas was obviously angry. Every time, it was not only time, but also money!


    "Nate...may not be very accustomed." Ryan started to defend her, took the girl''s arm and walked towards the castle on the lakeside, "Let''s go, George, let me talk to Nat alone. ."


    "Half an hour off!"


    "What do you want to do?" After turning into a place where no one could see, Natalie broke free from Ryan''s palm. "We have nothing to talk about."


    "We kissed more than twenty times in front of the camera." Ryan pointed to his lips and then to Natalie''s. "If you want to continue, I have no opinion!" ()

 Chapter 467： Everyone is making choices

    "You have no opinion?"


    Natalie''s eyes seemed to become sharp, and a thin layer of anger was enveloped on her expressionless face, "Why are you here? Why are you torturing me like this? You can completely dismiss this character... "


    "You know why, Nat. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test" Ryan stared closely at her eyes.


    "I¡­"


    "I never thought about pushing down this role." Ryan stepped forward, taking advantage of the absolute advantage of her height, looking at her condescendingly, "You know, Nat, because...you are here!"


    "Okay, okay." Natalie took a deep breath. "Then let this end quickly."


    When it''s over, I can''t see you anymore. I can''t see you so I can forget you. She warned herself in her heart that her own Ryan was gone. Standing in front of me was just a demon, who lured her down into the abyss. The devil.


    "What do you want to say? What do you want to do?" she asked again.


    "Nothing." Ryan suddenly turned around and walked towards the shooting location first. "You know what, Nat? During this time, I want to understand a very important thing."


    Natalie followed silently, not answering anything from him.


    "I have been in this world for more than 20 years." Ryan said something that only he could understand. "It wasn''t until a few days ago, um...On the night you were drunk, I found my faith..."


    At this point, he suddenly stopped, Natalie was startled, she knew that the guy opposite was a **** who didn''t believe in God at all!


    "I remember someone said that people who have faith will have stronger goals and stronger determination!" Ryan believed that she understood what she had just said. Continue to say, "Nate, what is your goal? Don''t tell me you belong to Harvard, dear. You know me. I know you too."


    Ryan knew what kind of tacit understanding he had with Natalie, and walked straight across the corner. Back in front of the camera.


    What is your goal?


    Looking at the disappearing figure, Natalie moved slowly, following up at a snail-like speed, if there was not enough strength to support it. Want to be the number one Natalie Portman, how hard is it to become a Hollywood legend?


    "The seventy-ninth scene, the twenty-seventh scene, now begins!"


    Young men and women stood behind the fence by the lake, looking at the lake and mountains in the distance, talking about topics that seemed to be endless.


    "I don''t like the beach, the sand is rough and hard. And it''s very uncomfortable."


    Ryan, who played Anakin, looked at the people next to her. Natalie was wearing a halter skirt, and she also looked over, and her eyes collided in the air. "Everything here is different, the sand is fine and soft, and smooth..."


    Ryan''s fingers slowly moved across Natalie''s back, and the two people who were looking at each other got closer and closer, and the four lips finally kissed one place.


    Natalie tried her best to control herself, and emphasized again and again in her heart that this is just work!


    This familiar kiss once made her very nostalgic, but now it looks strangely strange. Just when she was expecting the director to call to stop, a tongue suddenly broke through all the obstacles, found her where she was very skillfully, and entangled tightly. Together.


    Yes it is! That¡¯s how it feels, the beautiful feeling from the first kiss seems to be back in my heart...


    "Cut!" George Lucas''s voice sounded again, this time his attitude was much better, "Natalie, Padm¨¦ will finally break free from Anakin''s kiss, remember, you have to show that you want to love and yet again The feeling that can''t be loved comes."


    Want to love but can''t love?


    Natalie wiped her red lips, and when she waited for the makeup artist to touch up her makeup, she looked at the opposite side fiercely. The guy was not conscious at all, but was discussing something with Lucas in a low voice.


    Bastard! Do you know that you are dragging me down the abyss...


    In just a few moments, she charged the other party with countless crimes. If the verdict was judged in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Great Britain, 10,000 years would be enough.


    You have to calm down, Nat! This is just work! This is just work!


    The girl from Long Island forcibly recovered her calm, and the next time she started shooting, she finally finished the shot successfully.


    Just like writing an essay in elementary school, the hardest thing is always the beginning. For people, the most sad thing is the first level. When you break through the limitations of the first level, many things will often adapt naturally.


    The white wedding dress is decorated with blossoming tassels, the afterglow of the setting sun covers the terrace, the dressed-up Natalie is under the shade of the lake and the mountains, the glamorous indispensable thing, when Ryan in the iconic costume of the Jedi takes hold When she held her hand, she didn''t know why, and suddenly she felt like her wish was fulfilled.


    In his previous life, he had envied this scene countless times, and this life finally became one of the participants.


    "If you dare to put your tongue in my mouth again, I will bite it off!" Because it is now a long shot, Natalie flipped her lips and made a sound that only two people could hear.


    "Oh, so Nat is back." Ryan didn''t care at all.


    "You can try!"


    "The Nat who talks like this is my Nat."


    With that, Ryan blocked Natalie''s small mouth, and the four-petaled lips sucked and twisted, just like in the past.


    When the four lips parted, Natalie stared closely at his eyes, ignoring the staff who came and went with the set, as if squeezed from the deepest part of the soul, "Ryan, I hate You! I will always hate you! You ruined the one I love the most!"


    "People will always change." Ryan threw away the props and metal hands. "For example, Nat, you were far more combative and stubborn than you are now. You always think that you are the right one and the only one in life. Winners, such as Alison, were as soft as water when they were young, crying at every turn for people to see, but now they are lawless little devil who can only make others cry..."


    "And you!" Natalie interrupted him suddenly, "Although I liked arguing with me when I was a child, but the sunshine, cheerfulness, gentleness and kindness never hurt the people around me! It will not hurt the people around me for ten years. friend!"


    "I never thought about hurting you." Ryan grabbed her hand gently, and ignored the strange look of the person next to him. "Come back to me. Nat."


    Natalie closed her eyes slightly, and slowly pulled her hand back, "I don''t know what to do, Ryan."


    Do you really don''t know what to do?


    Looking at the Long Island girl going away. Ryan took a step forward. He avoided the afterglow of the setting sun and hid in the shadow cast by the trees.


    Why do people always choose when they have to make a choice? Such as myself.


    If you make your choice earlier. No matter how hard your heart is and your thinking is more realistic, maybe this storm won''t happen, right?


    It turns out that the two lives are human, and they are still naive when facing feelings.


    Wife of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Knowing that the husband has other women outside, why never mention divorce? A strong woman like Hillary changed her surname for Clinton, and even after the zip door, she spoke several times in support of her husband. Why?


    Because they are stupid? Are they stupid?


    He doesn''t know the other women, but what kind of woman Hillary is, I''m afraid the whole world knows.


    These women are not a fool. Even if some of them are not very agile, they have all become elites as their husbands develop.


    They can stay, except for decades of feelings. It''s also because leaving is too much to lose than staying, too much for them to bear.


    Of course, the man''s control of the situation within a certain range is also one of the reasons.


    Perhaps even Mr. Avner and Mrs. Shelly didn''t know how smart Nat was and how able to take advantage of all the favorable conditions around him.


    Choosing Portman as his actor''s last name is really just to reduce unnecessary harassment? Then why didn''t she choose an ordinary surname, she had to choose the surname of a Jewish hero in World War II? Although that person is her grandmother.


    Disdainful of commercial movies and vase roles, why did you choose the commercial Star Wars series that can no longer be commercial? Picked Padm¨¦ Amidala? Even though there is her own persuasion, but he has so many opinions, how many times has she accepted?


    Although Nat does not allow herself to directly interfere with her career, how many people in Hollywood don''t know her relationship with her? What kind of revenge would be evoked if some ugly means were really used on her? Tom Cruise is a lesson!


    Is Nat naive? It was really naive. In dealing with this relationship, she put all the feelings and beauty of the girl into it.


    At the same time, she is also a highly capable person, always ingeniously transforming everything around her into the most beneficial factor for herself without knowing it.


    Maybe she didn''t do it intentionally, but after Ryan dropped the last layer of thoughts, everything that she had neglected in the past was as clear as a reflection in a mirror.


    Whether it is Natalie in the rumors of the previous life, or Nat in his eyes in this life, they have obvious things in common, and they all want to be the big winners in life.


    Although she doesn''t know the follow-up development, Ryan believes that Natalie in her previous life, an Oscar for Best Actress, can never satisfy her.


    Boarding the train back to Sydney, Natalie locked herself in the box. Perhaps distance is the best tool to recognize each other. In the past few years, she and Ryan have gone too close, so close that they can¡¯t tell each other. The appearance of each other.


    She likes him, UU reading www. uukanshu.com From the moment the girl''s feelings appeared, Ryan was imprinted in her heart.


    She hated him, it was Ryan who personally destroyed his beautiful image in her heart and plunged her emotional world into darkness.


    The plain ridicule and ruthless determination seemed to be yesterday. Natalie wanted to forget Ryan and completely get rid of his influence. She didn''t know how difficult it was until he appeared on the crew and dangling in front of him every day.


    She wants to stay in Hollywood, she wants to continue her favorite acting career, and she wants to achieve her own brilliance. Ryan Jenkins, a name with great influence in Hollywood, is a curse that cannot be avoided.


    After ten years of intercourse, she knows what kind of person he is!


    Do you really want to hide in Harvard, give up everything, and then hide in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv after completing your studies?


    God, teach me what to do!


    Another guy who didn''t believe in God very much also prayed devoutly. ()

 Chapter 468： Temporary compromise

    In the carriage of the train, Ryan and George Lucas are sitting together, drinking coffee and chatting. As figures in the upper echelons of Hollywood, their topics are naturally inseparable from movies. In addition, the two sides have been in friendship for many years. There will not be too much concealment.


    "If everything is normal, this movie might be able to catch up with next year''s Christmas file." After Ryan asked about the approximate release time of the clones'' offense, George Lucas briefly said, "Although twenty Century Fox shared part of the investment, but for Lucasfilm, the financial pressure is still too great."


    "George, maybe you won''t be very happy to say that." Ryan reminded him instead of directly intervening in the operations of the other party''s company, "The schedule for Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone is set for next year''s Christmas."


    "Is that movie finished?" Lucas asked curiously.


    "Not yet." Ryan continued after taking a sip of coffee. "Just recently, the special effects shots used in this movie are much less than the offense of clones!"


    "Oh, yes." George Lucas nodded, thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the situation then."


    It is definitely not a wise choice to go shopping at the same time with a film of all ages that has a huge impact on the original.


    Ryan suddenly changed the subject, "George, haven''t you considered making a few literary movies? Oscar still owes you a best director."


    Listening to what Ryan was obviously joking, Lucas shook his head, "I don¡¯t have to think about the best director. Ryan, don¡¯t you want to canvass votes in advance? "Gladiator" hasn¡¯t been released yet. Just thinking about the little golden man who is the best actor?"


    George Lucas was obviously joking, and Ryan also said jokingly, "This is what Oscar owes me, isn''t it?"


    "Ryan, let''s just talk about this in private." George Lucas continued after seeing Ryan nodding his head. "I know you are well-measured. As long as you go on firmly, what belongs to you is yours."


    "I''ve never worried about myself." Ryan mentioned the Oscar for a certain purpose. Although George Lucas does not invite Oscar to be seen, it is because of the style of the filming. In fact, he has a certain degree in the academy. "George, I will trouble you to recommend "Gladiator" at that time."


    They are all sensible people, some things needless to say are too clear.


    After George Lucas smiled and nodded, Ryan drank the coffee in his cup. Stand up and say, "I''ll go see Nat."


    When he came to the box of sex, Ryan buckled the door slightly. With a slight creak, the box door opened one-third, and Natalie, who was standing at the back, took a look and said nothing. , Turned his head and sat back on the soft seat.


    "You want to drink again?" Ryan first saw the bottle on the table and sat across from her. I took it directly in my hand, still whiskey, "It seems that I came here at the right time. Haven''t you started drinking yet?"


    The cap of the wine bottle is sealed. There is no smell of alcohol in the box either.


    Natalie tilted her head and leaned on the back of the chair, her brown eyes seemed to lose focus, and she remained silent for several minutes.


    "Drunk. I forgot." She opened her mouth leisurely.


    "Quit, Nat." Ryan threw the whiskey into the trash can next to him. "I don''t want to see you become a female alcoholic."


    Turn back slowly. The brown eyes finally had their focus, and Natalie looked straight at him, as if trying to see if the **** opposite was Ryan before.


    Did he throw away his ten-year relationship and become a complete bastard?


    He can be his own angel, why must he be the devil who drags himself down the abyss?


    "Nat, what are your plans after returning to Sydney?" Their vacation is approaching, Ryan suggested, "Why don''t we go to London together?"


    "London?" Natalie''s mouth moved slightly.


    "The filming of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone is about to end. Haven''t you always liked Hermione Granger? Don''t you want to know the actor who played Miss Know-How?"


    Seeing the twinkling eyes on the other side, Ryan continued, "Alison has been studying in London. When I called the other day, I said I missed you. Don''t you want to see her? Oh, and, S Jia is also on vacation in London."


    "I¡­¡­"


    Those sky-blue eyes were as clear as the sky after the rain. Natalie suddenly lowered her eyelids and blocked her entangled eyes. "I haven''t seen Tyler and Scarlett for a long time. Go and see them. it is good."


    I just went to visit Scarlett and Tyler, it had nothing to do with the **** opposite!


    When the plane rushed into the sky and far away from Sydney, Natalie looked at the invisible scenery on the land through the porthole, and kept emphasizing this reason in her heart.


    Roughly guessed some of Natalie¡¯s thoughts. Ryan refused to mention past quarrels and any sensitive topics, but did everything he should do. Now that Natal chose to get on his plane, it means that the situation is getting better. , Calmness and patience are the key, he also understands the reason that haste is not fast.


    The most important thing is that after this time, there will definitely be a gap between the two, which will need to be gradually eliminated in the future.


    Taking off from Australia, passing through the Far East, and passing through Europe, for such a long time and distance, Ryan and Natalie were silent for most of the time. So many things have happened in the past few months. The mood gradually changed.


    After leaving Heathrow Airport and just getting into the RV, the voices of the two girls rang.


    "Ryan, Nat, I''m so happy to see you together." The person who can say this must be Scarlett Johansson.


    "Ryan, did you finally remember to look at me?" After a few months of not seeing Taylor grow taller, she looked to the other side, "Hi, Nat, it''s been a long time."


    After speaking, he scratched the golden curls, looked at Ryan and Natalie again, frowning her little brows.


    "Scarlett, Taylor."


    Faced with the two girls, Natalie was obviously more cheerful, smiled and said hello, and whispered to Scarlett about recent events.


    "It''s not convenient for you to say that, can you change it?"


    Tyler jumped out of the seat and squeezed between Ryan and Ryan. Natalie rubbed her head affectionately, got up and changed to Scarlett''s row.


    "Congratulations, dear brother Ryan!" After a few months, the little girl seemed to have grown up. She lay on his ear and said, "You are one step closer to achieving your goal!"


    "Alison!" Ryan couldn''t help but glared at her.


    "Am I wrong?" The little girl didn''t care at all, still biting her ears. "Originally, according to my calculations and Scarlett''s calculations, it would take you at least two to three years to solve this matter. I didn''t think there were only a few. Moon took care of the clever Nat!"


    "My dear, this is not something you should be concerned about." Ryan knew the girl''s level of gossip, "You are still a little bit!"


    "Wrong!" Taylor leaned in front of him and made a grimace, and continued to whisper, "I will be 11 years old soon!"


    She sat back, looked at Scarlett and Natalie on the opposite side, and said, "Scarlett, and Nat, if you only look at the height, I said I am 13 years old now, would you believe it? "


    "Of course." Natalie nodded.


    Scarlett, who had never dealt with her very well, curled her lips, "You? Look at your breasts, you''re just a kid."


    "What?" Taylor almost jumped up and rushed directly to Scarlett. "You little fat girl, don''t think that your **** will become bigger and your mind will become mature!"


    The two girls were used to having trouble since they were young, and then they became a mess.


    Natalie quickly hid to Ryan''s side, subconsciously holding his arm, Grid laughed.


    "The two of them, when will they mature?" Ryan sighed with emotion.


    "It''s not necessarily a good thing to be innocent."


    Natalie looked at the arms she was holding, and wanted to withdraw her hands. Ryan moved faster and grabbed her small hand with protruding joints with her backhand. "Remember, we did this before, and you bit me. What about your ears."


    "I regret now that I didn''t bite it off."


    Tugged hard, Natalie gave up, Ren Ryan rubbed her finger, "Ryan with one ear must be funny."


    An ear? Ryan instantly remembered the image of a mouse with a bandage on his head, and shook his head quickly to dissipate these unreliable thoughts.


    The RV drove directly into the underground garage of the Hilton Hotel. Ryan and the others arrived in front of Taylor''s presidential suite via a dedicated elevator, where she and Scarlett currently live together.


    Ryan has a long-term private room here, but he knows where Natalie''s heart is, and he booked a room for her before he came.


    "I want to take jet lag."


    After finishing Natalie, she walked into the room Scarlett winked at Ryan and followed, "I''m going to accompany Nat."


    "You should be very grateful to Scarlett." Taylor regarded it as a fun game. "Dear Ryan, Nicole will leave it to me."


    "Alison, this is not a game!" Ryan warned solemnly.


    The little girl walked towards her room, waving her hands carelessly, and imitating an adult''s tone and said, "My insatiable brother actually knows that this is not a game?"


    I haven''t seen each other for a few months, she seems to have matured a lot?


    Shaking his head, Ryan returned to his room. He was not worried that Tyler would add fuel to the fire. After all, this is Nicole''s most beloved sister. Even if some misconceptions come out, Nicole will only be childish.


    No matter what it was, Natalie made a temporary compromise, even if she felt awkward in her heart, there was always a solution.


    As for Nicole''s side, she has to take her time. If she is not allowed to express her heart''s breath, she still doesn''t know what will happen in the future. (To be continued...) u()

 Chapter 469： Best cover

    "Are you made up with Ryan?"


    Just as Natalie was sitting on the sofa, Scarlett Johansson leaned close to her, "Nat, Ryan is the best choice. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test"


    When her friend didn''t say those wrong things, Natalie gave her a surprised look, and then said, "I just took his plane to see you and Taylor, that''s all."


    "Oh, it turned out to be like this." Scarlett was too lazy to expose her, and said to herself, "Well, anyway, my two best friends won''t break, and I won''t have to be in a dilemma anymore. "


    break? Natalie turned her head and slowly closed her eyes in a direction Scarlett could not see.


    That''s it for the time being, and the rest will let time be judged. The girl sighed long and stood up and walked towards the bedroom.


    "Are you sleeping?" Scarlett followed.


    "I want jet lag." Before entering the bedroom, Natalie stopped her, "Scarlett, you should go back."


    "I''m sleepy." Scarlett yawned a little. "Why don''t we sleep together? It''s not that we haven''t slept together."


    Looking at the rather rascal girl, Natalie rolled her eyes and let her in.


    However, it didn''t take long for Natalie to regret it.


    "Nate, can I ask you something?" Scarlett was not sleepy at all, and she lay down and kept muttering.


    "Let''s talk." There are always secret topics between girlfriends.


    "Ryan... Isn''t that very..."


    "Scarlett!"


    "Nate, this is what you said before." Scarlett didn''t stop at all, "You said that Ryan can make you feel satisfied in any aspect."


    Seeing a curious expression from her friend, Natalie nodded helplessly.


    "Can you be more specific..."


    "Scarlett, what are you thinking about?" Natalie immediately showed a look of vigilance, her head cocked unconsciously.


    "You misunderstood. Nat." Scarlett said grimly, "I''m just curious. Don''t worry, I''m not interested in Ryan."


    "Then go to sleep." Natalie straightened out the blonde hair scattered on her forehead. "If you continue to mutter. Don''t blame me for driving you out."


    "Um~ okay." Scarlett murmured at last, "then take a good rest. There will be a grand party waiting for us tomorrow."


    The party that Scarlett said was the shutdown party of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone". Ryan and Warner have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in funds for the needs of publicity. In order to maximize the benefits, when the film is closed, it is natural to hold a vigorous party.


    The Hilton Hotel, where the party was held, specially set up a red carpet. The crew invited many celebrities from the British style and sports, and even borrowed Ryan''s relationship to send an invitation to the royal family. Although the royal family tactfully refused, they will send a representative to attend that night.


    The four of Ryan had already lived in the Hilton Hotel, and they didn''t have much interest in going on the red carpet, let alone. Tonight¡¯s biggest star and key publicity target are Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson and other small actors.


    It may be that the little actors are not suitable. As the shooting progresses, their names and images have been exposed by more and more media. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are stars.


    The four people came to a lounge in the banquet hall early. Tyler took Natalie and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, introducing her to the Harry Potter crew who were appearing on the red carpet.


    "Nate, that''s Emma!" The little girl pointed down far away, "It''s the one with brown curly hair and freckles on her face."


    "Alison, you are an idiot." Scarlett mocked mercilessly. "Apart so far away, Nat must not see freckles."


    "Okay, you are right." The little girl rarely disputes. "If it''s not for the makeup, I will make you look good, Scarlett!"


    "You two, stop making trouble." Ryan checked the time and walked over. "My dears, we should go out."


    "Well, let''s find Emma." The two girls walked towards the door first.


    Seeing the arm stretched over, Natalie''s eyes flashed, took Ryan''s arm, and walked out of the lounge with him.


    Many guests came to the banquet hall. Warner¡¯s people and several heads of the crew continued to greet the guests. Ryan was also one of the hosts, and it was inevitable to socialize.


    The most important guest is the representative of the royal family. Ryan walked over to the meeting and greeted the queen''s body. The other party said some kind words and said a few words with Chris Columbus, and it was finished. My mission was soon gone.


    After greeting important guests, Ryan acted as Natalie¡¯s introducer. Almost all the top British actors who can come here today are Ralph Fiennes and Emma Thompson and others.


    "Hey, Nat." When she met another familiar girl, the other girl directly grabbed Natalie''s hand, "I didn''t expect to meet you here."


    "Hello, Kayla."


    When Ryan said hello, the Miss Keira Knightley was a little embarrassed, "Sorry, Ryan, I am so happy to see Nat."


    "It''s ok."


    Sure enough, few people who can become famous in the previous life are fools. In fact, Ryan knows that Keira Knightley has always criticized the role of Natalie''s stand-in, and the relationship between the two is not very good.


    Even, it is not as good as Sophia Coppola, another maid of Queen Amidala.


    The two people asked each other a few words, and there was nothing left to say. Of course, Ryan would not embarrass Natalie, and pointed in a random direction, "That¡¯s it for the time being, Kayla, I saw an old man friend."


    "That''s good." The other party is obviously a smart person, "I will visit you another day."


    "Are you familiar?" Natalie asked rarely when she walked forward.


    "I can know her because of you." After Ryan nodded to the person who said hello next to him, he took two cups of soda from the passing waiter and motioned Natalie to raise a toast in the other direction with him. Zi, took a sip and continued, "Her parents are somewhat famous in the UK. When the Harry Potter crew was preparing, they helped a little."


    "Are you very used to such a place?" Natalie didn''t seem to have any emotion in her words.


    "No way, parties are part of work and life." Ryan suddenly saw the interested person and walked over with Natalie. "The relationship within the rules often plays an important role."


    "Hi, David." Ryan saw the famous couple in Britain, "It''s nice to meet you."


    After greeted the couple, Ryan introduced Natalie. Victoria Beckham was obviously very familiar with Hollywood and brought Natalie to talk about the entertainment industry.


    "This party made a sensation across the UK." David Beckham''s social skills are better than when he met last time. "All celebrities want to show up here, and the red carpet outside even exceeds the Oscars of the British Academy."


    "We are glad you can come." Ryan also said kindly.


    "Actually, many of my teammates wanted to come, but there were no invitations." At this point, his face was suddenly embarrassed. Ryan followed his eyes and looked around, paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hung. There was a smile, "Sir Alex Ferguson? David, can you introduce me?"


    He didn''t expect to see this old man who can be called a football legend here. Ryan''s eyes floated past David Beckham''s face when he greeted each other. Who would have thought that it would not take much. Will this pair of masters and apprentices turn against each other?


    Who is the person Ferguson hates most? Victoria Beckham, who brought Natalie towards him, must be one of them.


    Ryan has no interest in these football gossips. He came here to think of the vigorous and vigorous acquisition of Manchester United in the previous life. The Glazer family, who is barely regarded as a billionaire, can successfully acquire the Manchester United club whose market value is several times their worth. This red-faced old man did a lot of effort.


    The old man is not cold to the stars of the entertainment industry. After a few brief talks, Ryan learned that he was invited by his old friend Richard Harris, who played Dumbledore, and came here.


    Ryan is just a familiar face to pave the way for the plan he just thought of. After all, Ferguson has an unparalleled influence at Manchester United.


    It seems that Manchester United is a listed company, right?


    When leaving with Natalie, Ryan was still thinking about the few memories of his previous life. If it is really a listed company, then it would be a perfect goal.


    As for the Glazer family? This kind of person who doesn''t have a billion dollars, how can he compete with him?


    Ryan greeted people mechanically, and most of his energy was used to consider the ideas that had just arisen Natalie simply took him to a corner.


    British people are conservative, especially British fans. If you are an outsider and someone who has nothing to do with football before, choosing an appropriate time to detonate your plan will definitely attract huge controversy. It can attract the intervention of the British government, so that the situation will develop in the most intense direction. With its own reputation, it will attract the attention of many people, and it will certainly play a deceptive role.


    Go back and plan with Scott. Maybe you can set up a company in the UK to specialize in this matter?


    In just a few minutes, Ryan had a general idea, but he had to consult professionals to implement it.


    "Who are you calculating again?" Natalie knew him, and she knew that Ryan had recovered from her look. "Are you not interested in football?"


    "Are you interested, Nat?" Ryan avoided talking and said instead, "If you are interested, we can go to Old Trafford to watch football on weekends?"


    "Not interested." Natalie shook her head and walked into the lounge next to her. ()

 Chapter 470： Work in new york

    Although "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" was successfully closed and entered the post-production stage, the crew only maintained a certain degree of popularity in terms of publicity. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    After staying in London for a few days, Ryan returned to Australia. Most of the scenes that belonged to him and Natalie have been filmed. If there are not too many accidents, he will definitely be able to return to North America before November arrives.


    The two also formed a certain tacit understanding, never mentioning the previous quarrel and the names of Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron.


    For sci-fi movies like this, the time spent in post-production far exceeds the shooting time. Nearly two months after the first trial shooting, Ryan finally left Sydney, and he sent Natalie back to Cambridge. .


    In any case, the relationship between the two has improved, and the crack in the middle can only be repaired slowly.


    Afterwards, Ryan came to New York and went straight to Scott''s office on Wall Street.


    Speaking in detail about his assumptions in London, Scott was unable to immediately give his opinion. To be on the safe side, he will send someone to the UK to conduct detailed inspections after consulting with other investment advisers.


    After all, this would be a big investment involving hundreds of millions of pounds.


    Scott Ryan has always rest assured that since the Nasdaq index fell, he first helped himself and James Cameron get a controlling stake in imax, and secretly tried his best to contact Disney¡¯s minority shareholders, and stared at himself. Those stocks that have passed.


    I stayed with Scott until dark and exchanged opinions on many things. The next two years are probably the most difficult two years. If something happens, maybe he will retire safely and steadily early. .


    When leaving in the car, Ryan looked through the window. I saw the towering Petronas Twin Towers, this iconic building in New York and even in the United States, with a life span of no more than one year.


    The Gulf War broke out and the Big Red Bear was finished. Nasdaq collapsed. The Twin Towers will certainly not escape the fate of collapse.


    American society will also usher in brand new changes. How can I use this incident to get the most benefit?


    The collapse of the Twin Towers will definitely drive the stock market down. Go short and buy down? That''s asking for trouble by yourself.


    Be a great person and inform the federal government in advance? Save the people in the tower? He is not so stupid yet.


    All he cares about is the people he cares about.


    The rumors of this incident in the previous life were raging, and God only knew what role the federal government played in it. At that time, it is the best choice to take someone close to you to find a place away from New York and Washington for vacation.


    Because of the traffic jam, the car drove around Times Square, Ryan kept looking out of the car window, and suddenly saw a huge advertisement shot by Nicole for Dior.


    Someone has been staring at him for the past two years. Ryan believes that he must not be able to get rid of his hidden opponent, although he knows that they can''t grasp anything exactly. But it is always troublesome. If you can actively choose to expose it, it is undoubtedly the best opportunity before the collapse of the twin towers.


    The only question is, what would Nicole think?


    The Australian girl fired all previous staff around her. He didn''t answer his or George''s calls at all, and even most of the time, Ryan didn''t know where she was.


    Back to the booked room, waiting for the bodyguard to bring the notebook, Ryan sorted out the script file of "Shrek" and sent it to Julis Stewart in Los Angeles.


    Just last month, Ryan¡¯s team finally reached a negotiation agreement with DreamWorks Animation Studios. He personally invested and revitalized the mired DreamWorks Animation Studios. According to the proportion of investment, he received 30%. The shares became the largest shareholder.


    Of course, the shares in the hands of the Big Three now far exceed him.


    In addition, there was an encrypted email from Garcia that George brought, describing some of Disney''s latest developments, and Michael Eisner''s agent contacted Nicole again.


    They seemed to perceive a problem between themselves and Nicole.


    Is the hunter going to take action? Ryan was lost in thought, who was the hunter and who was the prey yet to be known...


    The next day, Ryan came to Blue Sky Studio, with technical support from Pixar Studio, plus his own foundation and development, after nearly two years of hard work, the animated feature film belonging to Blue Sky Studio is about to be completed.


    "Ice Age" completed most of the pictures, but the rendering was not enough, and the soundtrack and dubbing were not added, but when the squirrel jumped out, it still attracted people''s attention.


    Despite receiving technical assistance from Pixar, Blue Sky Studio still has defects in the previous life, especially the handling of animal hair, which is a bit rough.


    This can be said to be a common problem of computer animation, and currently only Pixar Studios can solve this perfectly.


    The protagonist of "Monster Electric Company", which will be released soon, is a monster covered with hair.


    "Currently we are contacting Ray Normano, John Raquezamo and Jack Black to dub the three protagonists." After the trial screening was over, Chris Witch, the director, gave a brief introduction to Ryan. The progress of the film, "We have found David Newman for the soundtrack. As long as the remaining rendering work is completed, the dubbing and the soundtrack can be performed at the same time."


    "When will the movie be released soonest?" This question is the focus of Ryan''s attention, otherwise it would be completely sad to choose September or October.


    "Our preliminary plan is next March." Chris Witch looked at the work diary, "There are currently no heavyweight films participating in the competition at this time."


    He hesitated for a moment, "Ryan, according to our original plan, the studio will go public before the film is released."


    Regardless of the past or the present, there are inextricable connections between Blue Sky Studio and Pixar Studios. They naturally want to learn from Pixar¡¯s successful experience. If you calculate it according to the previous market, as long as "Ice Age" can get together The expected box office, Blue Sky Studio''s stock after listing will definitely rise sharply.


    But now that the Nasdaq index is falling all the way, it is really embarrassing whether this plan should be implemented.


    Blue Sky Studio is also part of the plan, Ryan briefly considered it and said. "I will ask the people on Wall Street to make a perfect plan for you. As for the sale of the stock, just leave it to me."


    This is a standard potential stock, with its own strength. There is no problem even if all the issued shares are eaten down. Besides, Twentieth Century Fox and the News Corp behind it. He has always been obsessed with Blue Sky Studio, and Ryan believes that they will not let this opportunity pass.


    Cross-holding is almost the norm among major Hollywood group companies, waiting for the stock price to rise. You can talk to Twentieth Century Fox by yourself.


    Although Blue Sky Studios has taken over some special effects business since last year, this movie is the top priority of their work, and even the production budget has risen from the initial 50 million US dollars to 60 million US dollars. According to Ryan''s estimation, if the film wants to sell big, at least a publicity budget of more than 40 million U.S. dollars is needed.


    Up to now, the publicity cost of commercial films is getting higher and higher. There is a tendency to move closer to production costs. Ryan understands the future development direction of commercial films. It will not take too long for the film''s publicity budget to catch up with the production cost. Especially those large investments and large productions can even exceed the production cost.


    It is becoming more and more difficult for movies to achieve profit or recover costs through the box office. If you want to make money in this industry, the whole industry chain operation is a must.


    In other words, movies shown in theaters are more like advertisements. If the global box office can exceed 500 million U.S. dollars or more, then subsequent TV and online media broadcasting rights, DVD discs, and various related peripheral products will be released. It is certainly not a problem in terms of sales, especially in those countries that emphasize the protection of intellectual property rights.


    The bulk of film profits will also come from this aspect.


    This is well reflected in "X-Men".


    Ryan went to Marvel Comics in the afternoon, which is a typical example of the successful operation of Disney''s entire industrialization in the past life.


    Because a considerable part of the promotional expenses was added in the follow-up, the total cost of "X-Men" exceeded 110 million U.S. dollars. The film has now been sold off in North America, with a total of more than 200 million at the box office, plus overseas revenue. Box office figures, the world''s total box office reached 350 million U.S. dollars.


    Although there are still many regions that are currently being released and planned to be released, there is no ticket warehouse market. It is estimated that the follow-up can increase by up to 20 million US dollars.


    Because the proportion of each market is different, some need to pay publicity expenses or taxes, and some are pure profit sharing. The actual box office profit of the film is not high. The specific figures are still being settled. According to the surprise related personnel It is estimated that the profit at the box office is about 20 million U.S. dollars.


    However, it has only been more than three months since the release of the film, and the surrounding profits have exceeded this figure.


    Surprise quickly reached an agreement with related companies. The TV copyright of the movie was sold for US$11 million and the five-year copyright of the video tape was sold for US$16 million.


    This number is not high. Ryan clearly remembers that as early as 1991, the TV copyright of "Terminator 2" plus the five-year video tape copyright sold for as much as US$1,700. The current US dollar is comparable to the US dollar at that time. ratio?


    In any case, Surprise has just started on the right path, how can it not compare to the combination of Carlock Pictures and James Cameron that was in full swing.


    These are just the two parts of the surroundings. The licensing of various x-man toy models and related small commodities, especially overseas licensing, has also received nearly 10 million US dollars, which does not include the sales of comics driven by the movie.


    In fact, the profit method of Surprise is roughly the same as the profit method of second-tier filmmakers such as Jenkins Pictures. Because of the lack of a completed industrial chain, many products can only choose to transfer the copyright, although they will still get the relevant share, but the transfer A considerable part of the profit is an indisputable fact.


    The first part of "X-Men" can be said to be a success. As long as it follows the established plan, the sequel will not have too many problems. Surprisingly, after the director and related actors have been determined, the "Spider-Man" has been started as soon as possible. The preparatory work can start around the end of the year. ()

 Chapter 471： Plagiarism

    A successful film has a huge pulling effect on the production company, and the subsequent benefits of "X-Men" will be even more, not to mention this is just the beginning of a series. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    The most obvious success of the movie is the pull of Marvel stock price. Under the overall downturn of the stock market, Marvel Comics stock has risen against the trend. Even though the daily rise is limited, it has maintained a steady upward trend. Three months after "X-Men" was released at the box office in the first week, Marvel Comics'' single share price exceeded $25 for the first time.


    As a result, "X-Men 2", which had already determined the script, was naturally put on the agenda. Together with the "Blade Warrior 3" being produced and the "Spider-Man" in preparation, Marvel Pictures will face three simultaneous productions for the first time. the film.


    Although he is not involved in specific operations, Ryan has always been the chairman of the board. During the next meeting, Avi Allard revealed that he wanted to step down from his part-time Marvel Pictures position and recommended the production of "X-Men" Manager Kevin Fitch is the new one.


    In his previous life, he was a fan of Marvel superhero movies. Of course, Ryan knew who Kevin Fitch was and didn''t express much opinion. Marvel still handled the matter internally.


    Ryan did not stay in New York for too long, and took a direct flight to the famous Napa Valley.


    Napa River Valley is located in San Francisco Bay, California. It is a well-known wine producing area in the United States. It is also a place where celebrities and wealthy people buy leisure estates. According to his latest information, Nicole recently bought a new wine estate and is currently relaxing here. .


    Unsurprisingly, Ryan''s car was directly stopped outside the manor. No matter what he said, the other party would not let him go. If George didn''t deliberately stop him, he would get a bodyguard to break in directly. Come on.


    of course. In the end, he recovered his calm, even if he was acting for others, there was no need to go too far.


    After all, with Nicole''s hot temper now. Failure to do so will be in the name of trespassing on private territory. Take him to court, then wait for someone to see a joke.


    "You really don''t see him?"


    On the terrace of the villa. Antonia Kidman glanced at her sister, looked towards the entrance of the manor, "He has been waiting for almost a day."


    "Don''t pretend him in front of me, okay. Annie!" Nicole''s face was strictly hidden by oversized sunglasses, "Just as if I never knew him."


    After that, she picked up the wine glass and raised it to the blonde woman on the other side, "Nami, is the wine produced by the winery suitable for you?"


    "Very good." Naomi Watts sipped the red wine lightly, "It feels more mellow than the red wine produced in Bordeaux."


    "If you like, stay here with me for a while." Nicole looked at her sister dissatisfied. "Annie is going back to Sydney, so she doesn''t agree to let her come to Hollywood to develop."


    The three women were chatting about topics of interest. Nicole never saw the direction of the manor gate, waiting for Naomi Watts to go to the bathroom. Antonia Kidman couldn''t help it.


    "Nicole, it''s okay to meet him, maybe Ryan is in a hurry..."


    "Annie!" Nicole Kidman pointed to her nose, "I am your sister!"


    "But... he is our younger brother..."


    "It used to be, but it''s not anymore."


    "Well, Nicole, let''s not mention him." Antonia Kidman asked the biggest question these days, "What are the Disney people doing with you? Don''t do stupid things!"


    "I know what I''m doing." Sunglasses cover her eyes, and no one can see the light flashing in the light blue eyes. "I''m just doing what I want to do."


    Antonia Kidman closed her mouth, after all, it was her own sister in front of her.


    Silence fell on the terrace, and Naomi Watts walked over from the corner of the stairs, as if not seeing the embarrassing atmosphere here, and continued to talk about some fashion topics.


    Looking at her sister who was talking and laughing, Antonia Kidman had to say that she was born an actor, and she couldn''t even see her true thoughts.


    What does she want to do? What is the purpose?


    The only person in the world who can read her is probably the guy outside the manor, right?


    Are these two people really going to break from now on and turn each other into enemies? Or¡­¡­


    Her eyes fell on Nicole''s face again, under the big sunglasses, she still couldn''t see anything special.


    It was completely dark, and Ryan sat on the front cover with her knees on her knees, looking at the closed gate of the manor, as if it would never open.


    "They''re gone." George put the phone away and walked over.


    "Yeah~"


    Nodded, Ryan pointed to his side, and when George sat down, he asked, "After I was kicked out of the manor that day, Nicole accepted what I asked you to pass on and didn''t say anything, right?"


    "Yes." George frowned. "If..."


    "There is no if. I just give her a chance to vent her anger. She just has to vent as much as possible. (Pingnan Literature Net Ryan jumped out of the car, "Well, follow the established plan, I..."


    A long sigh, "I''ve been a passerby for a long time. It feels really bad. Let''s go back to Los Angeles."


    Hollywood is a battlefield without gunsmoke. He and Disney will inevitably stage long-form plays that have been performed in this Vanity Fair countless times. Now they are just small dramas of preparing food, grass and ammunition. This kind of activity involves billions There is no suitable opportunity for the acquisition of funds, and even a tyrant like Michael Eisner will not take it lightly.


    How long did Viacom prepare for its acquisition of Paramount Pictures?


    When did Summer Redstone think about it, few people know that the only thing Hollywood knows is that he has been staring at Paramount Pictures since the 1990s, and for the final success, he did it for at least three years. Preparation time.


    Ryan has enough patience.


    With the coming of November, another hot movie schedule in North America has also kicked off. Trailers for "Monsters Inc." and "Gladiator" have been released. The schedules of the two movies are selected on Thanksgiving Day and October respectively. February.


    However, soon after the trailers of the two films were released, they ran into trouble one after another.


    The trailer for "Monsters Electric Company" appeared in the media as early as October. Perhaps the audience will only realize that another outstanding animated feature film is coming, and the whole family will go to the theater to enjoy it on Thanksgiving. It is said that the appearance of the fur monster Sullivan has brought about a shocking technological breakthrough. Although there have been many hair shots in computer animation before, it has never created such a vivid image of a fur monster.


    Naturally, Pixar Studios will not let go of publicity opportunities. They released the news that there are more than 2.3 million hairs on the fur monsters. In many cases, they even need to be rendered one by one, which will definitely bring a different view to the audience. Shadow feeling.


    Not long before the movie was released, Lori Madrid, a children''s writer from Wyoming, broke the news to the media that "Monsters Electric Company" stole the idea of ??his 1997 poem "There is a Boy in My Closet".


    Madrid mailed his poem to six publishers in October 1999, and later adapted it into a local musical stage in the summer of 2001. After seeing the trailer for "Monster Company", Madrid believed one of them The publisher gave his work to Pixar, and the film was adapted from his own poem.


    The media will certainly not let go of such an opportunity for speculation. For a while, the news of whether Pixar has plagiarized has become the headline of many entertainment media.


    Has Pixar Studio copied it?


    This kind of thing is hard to say clearly. There are too many examples in Hollywood when creating screenplays. In the previous life, someone sued James Cameron¡¯s "Avatar" and "Titanic" for plagiarism.


    Ryan does not need to consider whether Pixar has borrowed from it. The other party¡¯s work has not been registered with the Screenwriters Association, and there is not enough evidence. If there is, he might have sued long ago. How to deal with this kind of thing Set out in the direction that is most beneficial to one''s own interests.


    The Wilson Law Firm quickly mailed a lawyer''s letter to Lori Madrid, and the lackluster writer immediately closed his mouth.


    Although the plagiarism storm lasted only a few days, Lori Madrid was repeatedly mentioned by the media and instantly became a small famous figure in the United States. In the following month, the sales of his works even exceeded the past. Sum.


    The purpose of the other party''s hype is evident.


    Ryan knew that there would be more and more hitchhiking things in the future, and he didn''t have time to care about such little people, because the storm seemed to have inspired some people, and some people jumped out.


    This time the opponent is no longer targeting "Monsters Electric Company" but "Gladiator" starring him!


    A senior Hollywood screenwriter named Mark Morik claimed that after watching the trailer for "Gladiator", he specifically watched the novel of the same name published by Vanity Fair that year. All of these were suspected of plagiarizing him as early as the 80s. A script about the ancient Roman Empire written in the 19th century.


    "A Roman gladiator stood in the middle of the arena looking up at the king, waiting for him to decide his life or death. The king extended his thumb with an unforgivable expression, ready to make a gesture of execution of the loser. This is from the 19th century French academic painter Jean? Leon Jerome¡¯s masterpiece."


    When the other party was interviewed by the TV station, he talked freely, ¡°This painting reminds me of the glory and evil of the Roman Empire. From that moment on, I was deeply attracted, so I decided to write a script about the ancient Roman Empire. In my follow-up research, I found that all aspects of Roman culture are related to the arena, which was the center of all social classes at that time, so I believe that the arena is the ideal place for the story of the script to take place."


    He also specially showed a somewhat old script to the camera, "After I wrote it, I showed it to many friends back then. It should be like this, which led to the spread of this story." ()

 Chapter 472： The best overseas science fiction film

    This screenwriter named Mark Morik has entered Hollywood since the early 1970s. According to time calculations, he can be said to be a senior screenwriter. He has participated in the script writing of films such as Robocop and Lethal Weapon. , Although not qualified to sign in the screenwriter column, but it can be regarded as a small name in the industry. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    Not only did he come up with an old script, he also found a few friends who had read the script back then. As for these "friends", they are complete strangers to Hollywood.


    Is it really a crash?


    Ryan doesn''t think so. The other party has been a member of the Screenwriters Guild since the 1970s. If he really wrote a script like "Gladiator", how could he forget to file with the Screenwriters Guild?


    Besides, he remembers clearly that in his previous life, the creative source of "Gladiator" was indeed that painting, but the person who came up with this idea was the production manager of DreamWorks, David Franzoni.


    In the first two years, David Geffen was very interested in his novel of the same name. He once wanted to buy the film adaptation rights, and the recommender was David Franzoni.


    Take out an old script, pull up a few friends, and then you can jump out and correct him for plagiarism?


    Ryan believes that things will never be that simple.


    After Mark Morik was interviewed by the TV station, some media began to hype.


    "Ryan Jenkins is suspected of plagiarizing Hollywood veteran screenwriters and has yet to respond..."


    "The "Gladiator" movie may be postponed, and once the plagiarism is confirmed, it may never even appear on the big screen."


    "Genius will also copy? Ryan Jenkins inspiration has dried up..."


    "In order to maintain the order of the industry, Mark Morik should prosecute the persons suspected of plagiarism, and Hollywood must put an end to such unhealthy practices in the future!"


    In the mouth of these media, it seems that there is no need for verification. He pressed the plagiarized name firmly on Ryan''s head.


    If it was David Franzoni or Ridley Scott who jumped out and corrected him for plagiarism, Ryan might feel wrong, but who is Mark Morik? Please. What works have you **completed?


    Most media still stand on a neutral stand. Before the results come out, you will not favor any side easily. Ryan also didn''t use the relationship with the media, just watched the changes in the situation.


    Some media reports seem to have inspired Mark Morik. He sued Ryan and Jenkins Pictures in the federal court in Cheyenne, Wyoming in mid-November. His lawyer asked the court to issue a preliminary injunction order prohibiting any film company from releasing the film before the lawsuit is over.


    "Gladiator" has not yet entered the theater, it is in danger of being banned from showing.


    "Don''t bother with this lawsuit. Whether it''s publicity or screening, everything will be implemented according to the original plan."


    During this period of time, there was a lot of noise in the media, but Ryan hid in Jenkins Manor with peace of mind, learning about the development of the situation through the Internet and telephone. "Juris, the litigation matters can be handled by Lawyer Wilson."


    The old lawyer at that time has retired and is succeeded by his son Mr. Wilson Jr. This younger lawyer is equally extraordinary and more enterprising. With Ryan''s funding, Wilson Law Firm has developed into one of the best law firms in California.


    Resting on Charlize''s long legs, Ryan hung up the phone and threw it on the sofa below him. Turning his head, his entire face was buried in the flat belly of the South African diamond, and he took a deep breath.


    Charlize, who was looking at the information, couldn''t help lowering his head, pulled Ryan''s face away, and pressed **** his lips.


    "Could it be possible to win this lawsuit by relying on an old script and the testimony of a few inexplicable people?" She always started from Ryan''s standpoint, and seemed aggrieved at the moment.


    "They don''t need to win." Ryan continued in a more comfortable position. "They just need to drag the lawsuit down so that "Gladiator" cannot be released or delayed."


    "The question is what are they good for?" Charlize suddenly complained, "My dear, my legs are numb."


    "Oh, sorry, Charlie." Ryan hurriedly sat up, took the beautiful diamond into his arms, and continued with the blond hair entwining her. "The movie cannot be released. It will definitely lose money, even if it is delayed. , Jenkins Pictures invested huge publicity expenses in advance, and it was in vain."


    "Up to now, "Gladiator" has spent nearly 50 million US dollars in publicity expenses." He added, "Even for Jenkins Pictures, this is a huge sum of money."


    "Seeing you are not in a hurry..." Charlize slipped away from Ryan''s arms and slept on his lap. "Is there a way to deal with it?"


    "This is just a small trouble." Ryan followed the two straight beautiful legs and touched upwards. "The real trouble is behind."


    If there is an uproar in the media, the Academy of Algorithms will finally rule that this is not plagiarism, and it will definitely affect the judges of the Academy of Film to a certain extent, and will subconsciously ignore the film when voting.


    This is also the reason why he dealt with it coldly. If the media that he had good relations with defended him, the two sides will have disputes between you and me. This topic will be completely detonated, and it will only be him who loses more than the gain.


    Now, even TV stations and some media affected by Disney are still making a big fuss about this matter, but because of lack of response, they cannot make a bigger wave.


    "So this is also a poor woman."


    Charlize, who was lying down and flipping through the script, suddenly sighed, "If someone in the middle is willing to stretch out and pull her, Irene Warnos may not be on this path."


    "Have you seen her picture?" Ryan motioned to her to turn to the end. After Charlize saw the picture, he reminded him, "If you are in this movie, you will become like this."


    "Uh..." Charlize hesitated obviously, "It''s only temporary, isn''t it?"


    "Okay, dear." Ryan pinched her towering nose comfortingly, "I will finish the script as soon as possible."


    Now this diamond is his own woman, and certain untimely plots must be eliminated.


    Grabbing the hand holding his nose, Charlize put it to his mouth, two rows of silver teeth gnawed a few times on it, leaving a shallow tooth mark, suddenly turned his head, and deliberately rubbed his delicate cheek. After rubbing a certain sensitive position, after feeling the obvious change, he suddenly stood up with a smile, and jumped into the distance without waiting for Ryan to make any response.


    "and many more!"


    Seeing Ryan who was about to catch up, she raised her index finger, "Honey, we should change our clothes. Don''t forget to go to the premiere for a while."


    "Charlie, there is no evening dress for you here." Ryan raised his eyebrows.


    "I think since you called me over, you must be prepared, didn''t you?"


    When Charlize looked at the stairs leading to the second floor, Ryan went over and took her to the dressing room upstairs, "I have already ordered the evening gown."


    When he went upstairs, seeing Charlize''s gaze sweeping from the door of a bedroom, Ryan said, "You can choose any room."


    "Then..." Charlize hesitated and pointed to the master bedroom on the second floor. "Is this okay?"


    "Change to another room."


    After taking a look at Ryan, Charlize understood whose room this was, nodded and said, "Is it okay to choose the third floor?"


    She knew that Ryan''s room was on the third floor.


    The two went to attend the premiere of "Monsters Electric Company". The movie was specially selected to premiere on the weekend before Thanksgiving. Although the name and the role of the movie are full of monsters, in fact This is still a family movie.


    After getting out of the RV, Ryan was not interested in staying on the red carpet, and ignored all the questions asked by the reporter, and walked directly into the Chandler Hall. Charlize was so careful that he could roughly guess his thoughts and held him. His arms followed closely, even if there were hundreds of female fans on both sides swearing and attacking, she still cleverly remained silent, just showing her most beautiful and elegant temperament in front of everyone.


    "Don''t care too much." Walking into the hall of the theater, Ryan patted her hand comfortingly, and laughed at herself, "There are not a few people who trust your **** scolding me."


    "I never went to my house to protest so exaggerated." She complained just right, and then reminded, "Mr. Weinstein is here."


    "Hello, Miss Theron."


    Hearing a polite greeting from Harvey Weinstein who just greeted Ryan casually, Charlize said quickly, "Just call me Charlie."


    "Okay, Charlie." Harvey Weinstein is an old fox, and he naturally knows what to say at this time. "Ryan is not wrong at all in describing you. Your beauty is like the most precious diamond from South Africa. ."


    "Thank you, Harvey." Charlize covered his mouth and smiled lightly.


    "Good job, Harvey."


    When the big fat guy finished his greeting with Charlize, Ryan gave him a thumbs up, "How to operate a foreign language movie, no one in Hollywood is better than you."


    "That''s because the quality of the movie is guaranteed." Harvey Weinstein suddenly looked at the South African diamond and deliberately put on an exaggerated tone. "You know, Charlie, just seven or eight years ago, Ryan only used The film adaptation rights for a Chinese-language novel was obtained for 100,000 US dollars. Now this movie has not only won Palme d¡¯Or, but also hopes to get more than 100 million US dollars in the box office."


    "You mean "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", right?"


    To stay by his side, Charlize knows that his horizons must be broadened. If he can''t keep up, someone will take his place sooner or later. "It is said that many media are praising this as the best overseas science fiction film in recent years. "


    Hearing the term sci-fi movie, Ryan''s mouth trembled. In the eyes of North American media, kung fu movies are represented by Jack Chen or Jeter Lee, which violate the laws of physics and fly in the sky. The film I went to was a science fiction film similar to a superhero. ()

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! The light in the morning awakened Charlize who was sleeping, stretched a long lazy waist, and hit another Yawning, she touched her backhand to her back. Except for the concealed goose down quilt, she was empty, and it was clear that Ryan had already gotten up. One second to remember "" the hottest novel update is the fastest


    "Energetic guy!"


    Rubbing his sore legs and waist, Charlize changed his clothes, went into the bathroom to tidy up, left the master bedroom on the third floor, and walked towards the kitchen downstairs.


    After coming back last night, the two people in great interest did not fall asleep until late. Although the taste of floating in the sky was so beautiful at the time, the soreness of the waist and legs after the next day could not be avoided.


    The slight physical exhaustion could not conceal Charlize''s mental excitement.


    First, yesterday''s hearty madness was the most enjoyable, and secondly, she officially moved into Jenkins Manor.


    It is also her kind of talent with a very wide range of contacts that knows that Hollywood does not know how many women want to enter this manor, as long as they can gain the appreciation of the male owner, one step to the sky is almost within reach.


    After exhausting all the feelings and taking the present step, Charlize knew how to handle it in the future.


    Just walked into the kitchen on the first floor, and a polite greeting came from the other side, "Hello, Sister Theron."


    "Lisa, call me Charlie."


    The housekeeper who speaks has served the family for almost ten years. Not only is George''s wife, but also one of Ryan''s most trusted people. Charlize knows this very well.


    "Are you looking for Ryan?" The other party smiled politely. "He and George are in the gym."


    "Oh, is there anything I can help here." A Chinese chef seemed to be cooking something, Charlize couldn''t help asking curiously, "This is... breakfast?"


    "It''s soup from China." Lisa explained briefly, "Sometimes Ryan likes to eat some Chinese breakfast."


    Lisa glanced at the watch, "They should be over. Let''s go to the restaurant."


    The life here has just begun. When Charlize entered the restaurant, he saw Ryan wearing home clothes and discussed something with George who was sitting next to him. Obviously something is at work.


    Charlize coming over. Ryan made a random gesture to her and continued to say to George. "Wait a few more days, after Thanksgiving, let those shareholders join together to the Delaware Chancery Court, according to Wilson''s lawyer''s judgment. This case is impossible to win, and our goal is not to win, as long as we distract Disney''s attention. Up."


    Such a lawsuit will definitely continue for some time. If the board of directors of Disney wins in the end, more shareholders will be disappointed in Disney, and their shares will be changed.


    "Not going to the company today?" Charlize asked when breakfast was over.


    "I don''t have to go every day. I''m not good at handling daily affairs." Ryan took her out of the villa and walked towards the garden. "If it is difficult to decide, they will email or call."


    Actually. What Ryan deals with is only general direction and film affairs. The United States has a perfect professional manager system. As long as you don¡¯t relax supervision and let the company under his name appear a Michael Eisner-like character, you don¡¯t need it. He is too involved in daily operations.


    The two of them chatted about recent interesting events and walked around the manor. Shan Ryan''s relaxed watch was nothing like the recent troubles.


    When the sun climbed higher, the two returned to the villa, Charlize continued to study Irene Vonos''s information, and Ryan began to plan the outline of the script.


    "If possible, I would like to see Irene Warnos or Hilby." In the study, Charlize suddenly raised his head.


    "Hilby can, forget the other one."


    It¡¯s too much trouble to meet a devil who is going to execute the death penalty. As for Hilby, it¡¯s not difficult for Hilby to write a letter to persuade Irene Warnos to agree to adapt the film for money. It¡¯s not difficult to talk to Charlize, "Wait a while. , Wait for me to finish the script."


    With the release of "Monster Electric Company", the popular Thanksgiving Christmas file has completely kicked off. The masterpieces of Pixar Studios are the focus of attention in the industry. They bring not only touching stories, but also the future of computer animation. The direction of the exhibition.


    When Thanksgiving Day is about to come, this movie has set off an upsurge of watching movies for the whole family. Although the audience of the animated feature film is mainly young people, the work of Pixar Studios will never make the adult of the film feel bored.


    Generally speaking, traditional media¡¯s film reviews are as concise as possible to avoid spoilers, but such animated films can be completely ignored to a certain extent. After reaching a consensus with Pixar, the "Los Angeles Times" listed on the front page of the entertainment section. A longer review.


    "The three protagonists of "Monsters Electric Company" are as in the trailer, cute fur monsters, cuter girls, and a big-eyed boy with big eyes.


    Children¡¯s crying can make electricity-I really admire Pixar''s imagination; but children are getting less scared-I really don''t know whether it is human fortune or human sorrow. Children nowadays are terribly precocious; Children¡¯s laughter is ten times as much electricity as crying¡ªjust like in real life, the energy of laughter is always greater than crying.


    Mao monsters are masters of scaring people, trying to scare children for the city where monsters live-this is the so-called position, you can''t make it right, you can''t make it wrong.


    Position is a very weird thing. Everyone has their own position. Sometimes it''s just a different position between right and wrong.


    Children are afraid of monsters. I didn¡¯t think that monsters are more afraid of children. In view of this, we have to pay tribute to these monsters. We risk our lives every day to work without complaining or regrets. Even the big villain, it Is there any big mistake? But I hope to take the first place.


    I remember that there were people in history. Soldiers who wanted to be generals were all good soldiers.


    I am longing for the door in the Monster Company, which can lead to all corners of the world. When humans take this step, it must be a good thing-it may also make human society worse.


    In the process of protecting the girl, the fur monster and the girl have feelings, like the big-eyed boy-don''t name it, name it, feel it-I have never had a pet, but a pet owner People, here, must have deep feelings.


    Those who want to go to this movie, remember not to rush away after you drop the subtitles. Never miss the ending of the animation. There are always many surprises. "Monster Electric Company" has done a better job on this point. It simulates the reality of filming. The tidbits of similar actors in the movie, as if this movie was really made by monster actors.


    One last reminder, people with rich feelings must prepare tissues, Pixar''s animation will always make you laugh with tears! "


    Other media have also published relevant film reviews in prominent positions, almost all of which are applauded.


    "The film is pleasant and humorous. Adults who take their children to this film may be pleasantly surprised to find that they have also had a good time. Pixar''s animators have made adults look at the dazzling visual surprises like children!"


    Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times spoke highly of the film, praising the use of "creative energy", "There has not been a movie "Monster Company" that has used creative energy so efficiently for many years. Wouldn''t it be necessary for the fun of such a movie?"


    Although Mike Clark of "USA Today" thinks that this animated feature film is sometimes "more than fanatical, but not enough", and "not touched the audience''s mood to any noteworthy level." But he also praised the film " It''s visually creative like Pixar''s previous works."


    The famous film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun gave the film a three-star rating-the highest four stars-and praised the film as "full of fun and worthy of applause. Like other Pixar films, it has a large number of adult audiences. Stunts and quotes".


    "Entertainment Weekly" film critic Lisa Schwarzbaum gave the film b-the highest is a-praised the animation performance of the film, "All the works of Pixar Animation Studios, its fashionable, cutting-edge computer animation The effect is great, it¡¯s great."


    As a new media, the influence of the Internet is getting bigger and bigger. Many websites about movie reviews have surged in traffic since the new millennium, and they have also shown a certain degree of influence.


    Gradually, some famous online film critic James Bradini gave the film a three-and-a-half-three-and-a-half-star rating-the highest four stars-and praised "Monster Company" as "one of the few parents who accompany their children to watch," One of the family movies that can be enjoyed but not endured."


    The Internet is open. Everyone can express their opinions on related websites. Many senior movie fans also stay on such websites as imdb or such.


    "Although "Monsters Electric Company" is less complex than the two "Toy Story , it is still a fun movie for children and audiences of all ages."


    This can be a consensus evaluation on the network.


    The audience is made up of individuals, and each person will always have a different approach after the movie.


    "Don''t give it a name. I have a feeling after it is named. Whether it is a toy thrown under the bed, an insignificant ant, or a fictional monster, their sense will always be so delicate in Pixar''s pen."


    Some viewers obviously followed their children into the theater, but after finishing, they also wrote down some of their own opinions, "After this movie, I just want to say to my children-don¡¯t judge by appearances. Human heart, baby, never want it!"


    After "Monsters Electric Company" was released, the Pixar studio was moving again. The Pixar family is now a big business. Naturally, it will not move into a shabby single-storey office in order to save a few rents as it did in 90 years.

 Chapter 475： Pixar high-level

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! 500 South Buena Vista Avenue, Burbank, California, this is the headquarters of Walt Disney, Walk north from the overpass that connects Disney and the entertainment department of the TV station, pass two intersections, and then turn into a quiet street, which is Jenkins Pictures. On the left side of the Jenkins Pictures building, there are three buildings connected by an air corridor. The square building, this is the latest public office building purchased by Pixar Studios.


    Completely different from the previous life, after purchasing these three buildings, Pixar relocated from the San Francisco area to the Greater Los Angeles area. Although there would be quite a few issues involved, as early as the beginning of the year, Ryan asked his team to assist Pixar. The administrative department of the company will work together to find ways to solve the worries of employees.


    In fact, 99% of the problems, to put it bluntly, are the problem of money. The Pixar family now has a big business and has set a budget to solve the problems that employees may encounter after the relocation.


    Think about the move in 1990. Pixar was facing bankruptcy with only dozens of employees. Now Pixar has a market value of billions of dollars and has hundreds of employees. It is itself a leading animation studio in Hollywood.


    The iconic table lamp was erected in front of the company''s front door early, and just before Thanksgiving, with the help of the "Monster Electric Company" sales momentum, the company moved into Burbank as a whole.


    Of course, parties are inevitable after the housewarming. After the Thanksgiving holiday, Pixar held up a celebration party in the company''s newly designed employee entertainment hall.


    "In the first week, I was on the top of the box office rankings. North America alone earned US$69.79 million. In the second week, the box office fell by less than 30%, and I got close to US$52 million, making it the top of the box office rankings again! "


    The person speaking to Ryan is Shirley Lansing, and Paramount Pictures is the distributor of Pixar Studios. The higher the box office of the movie, the more profit they can make. "Ryan. It looks like this year. The top two in the total box office list have already been booked by you."


    "Thank you." Ryan raised the cup to her, "We are a win-win!"


    Then he asked, "I heard Leon say the release time of "Mission Impossible 2" will be postponed?"


    "Hmm~" Shirley Lansing nodded and explained, "It''s just after the New Year, we don''t want to face your "Gladiator" directly."


    "This movie may not be released on time." Ryan''s words sounded helpless. The expression is still relaxed, Shirley Lansing knows very well that Ryan is no longer the boy he was when he first worked with Paramount, "Why don''t we bet $100, I guess "Gladiator" will be released on time."


    After making a few jokes, Ryan responded to the person who said hello. Walking to the side of the Pixar animation character display area, two girls with short and long hair are facing the monsters of the power company.


    "Alison, aren''t you the voice of the movie? Why didn''t I hear your voice?"


    "Dear Christine, my voice-over role is a two-year-old girl." Tyler rolled his eyes at her, "Of course there are very few lines."


    "It turns out that you made those creaking grotesque calls." Kristen Stewart suddenly realized.


    Probably heard footsteps. Tyler turned his head to see Ryan, wrinkled his nose and said, "I have been selling three dubbed cartoons in a row. You have to give me some rewards?"


    "Then what do you want, dear."


    Seeing the little girl''s open arms, Ryan had to give her a light hug, then rubbed the head of the tomboy next to her, "Alison. When did you come back from London? Why didn''t you notify me?"


    "Huh~" The little girl wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, "I don''t want to delay your time to pick up girls and see a dude who loves one!"


    With that, she looked dissatisfiedly at Charlize Theron who was socializing in the crowd.


    Perhaps when he was growing up, or perhaps it was nearly a year of studying in London, Ryan felt that Taylor seemed to have matured.


    However, emotional matters are hard to understand. Besides, the opposite is just an eleven-year-old girl.


    If you only look at the height, Taylor is already four feet six inches, she leaned in and said in a low voice. "How about Nicole? Don''t tell me you made her sad again, otherwise, I will show you good-looking!"


    A small fist shook in front of Ryan''s eyes.


    "She will be back, but not now." Thinking of the little girl''s big mouth, Ryan swallowed what he almost vomited again, "Alison, you should consider your studies more."


    "Hi, Tyler." Charlize''s voice came from Ryan''s side.


    "Hello, Miss Theron." Miss Taylor Swift immediately became a standard lady, "It''s nice to meet you!"


    Probably noticing the eyes that Ryan moved over, the little girl immediately changed her expression, "Well, Charlie, don''t disturb you and Ryan, I''ll go to Christine."


    "Taylor is cute." Charlize said looking at the girl who left.


    "Don''t be fooled by her appearance." Ryan picked up Charlize and walked towards the place where Pixar''s top leaders gathered. "My lovely sister, privately, is a lawless little devil."


    Several Pixar executives surrounded a lot of people. The continuous success of the animated feature film project has made this group of idealists become well-known figures in the industry. Their struggle and persistence are like the American dream. The same, has been praised and sought after by many media one after another.


    Including Ed Camel, John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Peter Dougert and others, not only gained fame, but also received large sums of money such as salary, equity dividends and related movie sharing.


    Perhaps the billionaires are a little exaggerated, but the multi-millionaires are outright.


    Since the box office of "Monsters Electric Company" was released in the first week, Pixar''s stock price has completely ignored the declining Nasdaq index and ushered in the fastest rising period of the year. The single share price not only quickly rose back to its March price , The market value exceeded six billion US dollars for the first time.


    Although there are factors to raise funds from Wall Street, it is self-evident that successful films have driven the producer''s share price.


    What kind of benefits can animated films bring?


    For Hollywood, this is no secret at all. Pixar has naturally become the envy and goal of many companies. Benefits determine their respective positions. Ryan knows this well, and this is also one of the reasons he introduced Wall Street Capital to Pixar Studios. the reason.


    After the people around gradually dispersed, Shirley Lansing suddenly came over and asked, "I heard that the next feature animation film is "Toy Story 3"?"


    "Yes, we have prepared the script..."


    Andrew Stanton, who has been presiding over the screenwriting work, was suddenly embarrassed, "We still need to get Ryan''s authorization for adaptation."


    Several people at the scene looked over, and Ryan suddenly shook his head and said, "I don''t think it is a good idea to continue the "Toy Story" series now."


    "Why?" the youngest Peter Dougter asked impatiently.


    "I have already selected the next work for you. In fact, the script was completed a few years ago." Ryan didn''t seem to notice the frowning of Pixar executives, and said to himself, "My "Finding Nemo" in the storybook..."


    "Ryan, do you know how difficult it is to reproduce the underwater world with existing animation technology?" John Lasseter retorted vaguely.


    "I believe you can solve it." Ryan interrupted Peter Dougt, who wanted to continue talking with a wave of his hand. "That''s it for now. It''s a public occasion. We will solve these small problems in private."


    The argument on their side has attracted a lot of attention. Ryan shook his head, raised Charlize and walked towards the door with a frown, seeming a little unhappy.


    "This is the so-called non-interference with the normal operation of Pixar Studios!"


    The young and energetic Peter Dougert murmured, and the people around who had heard the controversy became more curious. It seems that Pixar Studios is no different from other companies. There are also many conflicts between management and major shareholders. , It¡¯s just that past successes have all covered these.


    "Ryan is only twenty years old, and some thoughts are normal." Ed Kamel whispered a few words of persuasion, "The problem should be solved by the board of directors."


    It is impossible to unite among the top executives of each company, and everything at this party seems to be normal.


    Indeed, compared to the Disney shareholders meeting in previous years, Roy Disney and Michael Eisner directly filmed the scene of the table quarrel, which is far behind.


    However, the people at the party were so messy that these things inevitably spread out.


    A few days later, Pixar¡¯s internal staff broke the news to the media. Regarding the choice of the next animation, Ryan and Pixar¡¯s management had a serious disagreement. Neither party could persuade anyone. Although there was no quarrel, the scene was different. It''s cold and scary.


    Although the project "Finding Nemo" was finally passed, the unhappiness on the faces of several Pixar executives ~ www.novelhall.com ~ can be seen by everyone.


    What is the fastest spread in Hollywood? It must be gossip news.


    When Ryan went to Jenkins Pictures, he was asked this question by reporters. There is nothing to hide. He bluntly said, "Yes, we have different opinions, but the dispute is limited to the work level. This is normal. Isn''t it? This will not bother Pixar, nor will it affect our personal relationship."


    "But you introduced Wall Street capital to Pixar, diluting the shares in the hands of many executives and causing them serious dissatisfaction."


    "I am the one who dilutes the most shares!" Ryan directly rewarded the reporter with your stupid expression, and said unceremoniously, "I understand what you are thinking, but it is a pity that Pixar is still a united whole, not like you think. Split like that!"


    "What about the "Gladiator" plagiarism incident?" The reporter was obviously unwilling to give up, "You haven''t responded to it, are you guilty?"


    "You will see the results soon!"

 Chapter 476： Litigation

    Time has passed November, and the arrival of December also means that more and more big-production movies will be released, and "Gladiator" with a production cost of up to 100 million US dollars is undoubtedly the most eye-catching period. In addition to the fact that its main creators are eye-catching enough, it also involves a lawsuit. Until now, the Federal Court has not made a final ruling.


    However, another lawsuit in Hollywood quickly diverted the attention of the media.


    Dozens of Walt Disney''s retail shareholders and small investment institutions holding shares jointly sued the Disney Board of Directors in the Delaware Chancery Court.


    Disney shareholders complained that in 1995 when the company hired Michael Oviz as the company¡¯s president, the company¡¯s board of directors completely obeyed Eisner¡¯s will, and the company¡¯s nomination committee was dormant because of the board¡¯s industriousness. The absence of the nomination committee caused the company¡¯s will to be led by Eisner¡¯s nose. The company was forced to accept Eisner¡¯s nomination, and Hollywood¡¯s popular professional broker Michael Oviz served as the film and the theme of this episode. President of Disney, a fairy tale world composed of parks and animation.


    Michael Oviz lacks the ability and experience to control a giant company like Disney, and also lacks the creativity and coordination capabilities that Disney World needs. After taking office, he not only failed to reverse the company¡¯s situation, but worsened the company¡¯s situation. He was cronyism, abuse of power, Alone, betrayed by other directors, occupied company property, and directly contradicted his childhood friend Michael Eisner.


    Similarly, without rigorous procedures, Michael Eisner fired Ovitz. For this, Disney had to pay a huge sum of nearly 200 million US dollars, including $140 million in resignation compensation.


    The angry Disney shareholders appealed to the court to order Michael Oviz to return the company''s 200 million US dollars in severance compensation and interest that the company had paid, and asked the court to order Disney''s directors headed by Eisner to bear joint and several liability for repayment.


    All the voices almost point to one point-the loss of the board of directors and the nomination committee is related to Eisner''s huge personal influence, and all the responsibilities should be borne by Michael Eisner alone.


    Once this lawsuit came out, it caused an uproar in the media. Then several investment institutions on Wall Street that hold shares in Disney issued a statement that they would join the litigation team. It also triggered a stir in the media in the entertainment and financial industries. .


    The complainant is from Disney¡¯s shareholders, and the accused are a group of Disney executives. It is not uncommon in North America that shareholders and management conflict with each other, and the spearhead of these shareholders is not directed at any institution, directly including Michael? Individual executives including Eisner.


    Management wastes shareholders'' money, especially when it involves hundreds of millions of dollars, which cannot be offset by a few explanations and a few statements.


    In this highly developed country of commerce, interest determines the position of the butt, and whoever touches the cake of interest groups will jump out and fight against whom.


    After a period of waiting, the most respected company court in the United States formally accepted the lawsuit.


    And Disney¡¯s shareholders chose the Delaware courts over the California courts because Walt Disney¡¯s place of registration is in Delaware.


    Due to the preferential tax policies implemented by the State of Delaware and the superior judicial system of the State of Delaware, Delaware has become one of the most popular company registration places in the United States. More than half of the global Fortune 500 companies are located in Delaware. The state established and registered an office or branch, and one-third of the companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange were established and registered in Delaware.


    However, since Delaware does not strictly require registered companies to operate in the state, most registered companies only symbolically have offices in Delaware and pay taxes to the Delaware government during the tax season.


    Most companies such as Jenkins Pictures under Ryan¡¯s name are also registered in Delaware, but several companies share a large office.


    The name of the nation of ten thousand taxes in the United States has no water at all. If legal and reasonable means are not used to avoid taxation, the taxes paid are enough to make many large groups burn out.


    The participation of certain institutions on Wall Street has made this lawsuit more compelling. Neither entertainment media nor financial media are fools. If they lose the strong support of Wall Street Capital, take Michael Eisner¡¯s existing shares as a director. Chang Jian''s position must be unstable.


    Soon, a reporter caught Michael Eisner himself on Wall Street.


    "According to my estimation with Wilson Jr., this lawsuit is likely to drag on."


    Scott, who returned from New York, sat in the living room of the villa and discussed the current situation with Ryan, "The case will have to go through at least two rounds of questioning, and Michael Eisner and Michael Ovitz themselves should be summoned. but¡­¡­"


    Scott made a very helpless gesture to Ryan, "There is no relevant legal provision for the time being. If the judgment is made in accordance with the Commercial Judgment Law, the Disney Company''s board of directors may eventually be acquitted.


    "Their guilt and innocence is not what we want to achieve, is it?" Ryan waved his hand indifferently, playing with the coffee cup in his hand, "As long as we can distract part of the Disney board of energy, we will come less during our preparation period Just ask for trouble."


    Things like "Gladiator" are really boring if they jump out after a while and make a fuss.


    Of course, some people are not fools. This method outside the rules can be used occasionally. If you use it frequently, you want to be a public enemy of the industry.


    According to Ryan''s analysis, it may have been for selfishness in the past, but now it is for great benefit.


    Benefits are always the best tool to impress people''s hearts and arouse greed.


    As the release date of "Gladiator" is getting closer and closer, Jenkins Pictures and Paramount Pictures, which acted as the distributor, seem to have not been affected at all. You can see "Gladiator" everywhere on the Internet, TV, and print media. "Pictures, trailers, and huge posters were erected early on the most conspicuous advertising spaces in major cities.


    Especially on the Internet, there have been many viral links about "Gladiator" on portal sites such as Yahoo and Google. Viral marketing is already well-known, far beyond the fake film they shot in Darren. The effect of the documentary.


    This point was very well confirmed by "Blair the Witch" which was released last year. Lionsgate almost perfectly copied the original viral marketing method of Flower Pictures, but with an experienced audience, it was again within a short period of time. Once faced with this kind of overdraft market propaganda method, it would not buy it much.


    As a result, the filming cost was only tens of thousands of U.S. dollars, and the publicity cost was invested in a fake documentary of tens of millions of U.S. dollars. It was no longer the glory of the previous life. It only gained less than 3 million U.S. dollars in box office in North America, and the overseas screening rights were not sold Going out for a few places made the senior executives of Lions Gate Pictures want to cry without tears.


    Viral marketing is not as magical as you might think. If you can¡¯t grasp the degree of it, the tragedy must be the investor.


    Rebellious psychology not only exists among young people, but also among adults.


    The simplest example is the use of hype about male and female starring actors or directors¡¯ scandals during filming as a publicity method. For the first time or even the first few times, the box office numbers may be boosted. What if the number of times is higher?


    A film by a director or an actor always wins eyeballs in the form of scandals, and will be eliminated by the market in a short time, especially in Hollywood, where the new and the old alternate fast and pay more attention to practical interests.


    Looking at Hollywood, how many first-line actors or directors will use this method to promote movies?


    Of course, neither the movies starring Ryan nor the movies produced by Jenkins Pictures have used this kind of publicity.


    "Gladiator" is about to be released and has entered the most intensive publicity period. From the producer to the distributor to the theater, all the so-called plagiarism incidents are ignored. The theater¡¯s best publicity columns are all reserved for this movie. Ryan''s past achievements are the source of their confidence.


    The "Monster Electric Company", which is currently in theaters, continues to exert its efforts in publicity. Pixar once again invested 10 million U.S. dollars in publicity expenses, bringing the total cost of the film to 155 million U.S. dollars, which completely exceeded "Toy Story 2" has become Pixar''s highest-invested animated feature film so far.


    The effect of this is extremely obvious. After more than 69 million U.S. dollars in the first week and 52 million U.S. dollars in the following week, the movie received more than 35 million U.S. dollars in box office in the third week, and the North American box office reached a total of 150 million U.S. dollars. It is very likely that it will become the second North American movie to break 300 million box office this year.


    At the same time there was good news from the Federal Court. Just ten days before the scheduled premiere of "Gladiator", the Federal Court rejected the plaintiff¡¯s lawyer¡¯s request for a preliminary injunction. "Gladiator" can be released on time.


    After the movie was released, the same judge ruled that there was no connection between "Gladiator" and Mark Morik''s script.


    Protecting their own interests is a natural choice that anyone who stands up to the top will make. Although the other party is just a small person active on the bright side, Ryan will not let them continue to be at ease.


    His team of lawyers quickly sued Mark Morik for defamation in the name of Jenkins Pictures, offering a public apology and a compensation clause of nearly three million dollars.


    It doesn''t matter if the lawsuit is won or not. Ryan just let Wilson Law Firm drag on indefinitely. The other party must respond to the lawsuit, and the response will incur costs. Time, energy, and money alone can completely drag them down.


    At this time, will the people hiding behind jump out to pull these pawns who are destined to abandon?


    Hollywood is always powerful and realistic! rs()

 Chapter 477： coming soon

    "The majestic Roman Empire arena, enthusiastic spectators shouting crazily, bright petals falling all over the sky, horses galloping horizontally and horizontally, warriors raising their swords immediately..."


    Even if the colors of eyes and hair are changed, even if the helmet covers the face, the silhouettes in the trailer are still exciting. Gene believes that Ryan will definitely bring an epic super masterpiece!


    After watching the TV station''s prime time trailer, Gene turned off the TV and sat in front of the computer.


    "Honey, have you got your tickets for the premiere?" He asked his wife Luya.


    "It''s still a week away." Luya walked over from the other side, "You are always so anxious."


    "Do you know how difficult it is to get tickets for the premiere?" While waiting for the computer to start up, Gene recalled the past. "Let''s say that the night we met, my father and I were able to participate in "Remains of a Deserted Island". The premiere is all luck. Of course, thank God for letting me know you there."


    "Thank you Ryan, it was his movie that brought us together." It was obvious that Luya was the girl who sat next to him.


    "It''s incredible to think about it now." Gene hugged his wife lightly and whispered, "Ryan did not hold the premiere last year, so we can''t miss it this year."


    "Didn''t Ryan ask you to eat a burger?" Luya joked, and then said politely, "Actually, I''m a little worried..."


    "What are you worried about?" Gene looked at his wife.


    ""Gladiator" is obviously used by Ryan to win awards." Luya said the consensus of many people, "I am worried that the movie will be very dull, it will be as depressing as "The Pianist", you know, I don''t like it. That kind of movie."


    "My dear, do you think a film with a 100 million dollar investment. Will it be that style?" Gene shook his head, picked up the mouse, and quickly opened Yahoo''s main business, and read to the above several news. "One hundred million dollars in production costs. Jenkins Pictures creates the pinnacle of an epic film! Ryan personally went into battle, in front of the fierce Siberian tiger. A **** gladiatorial battle with professional fighters! Ryan Jenkins and Leonardo Decca The two superstars of Prio clashed fiercely, performing the ultimate gladiator duel..."


    There are many such breaking news. It seems that Yahoo''s entertainment section has been completely invaded by "Gladiator", and as the release date approaches. More and more pictures and inside information appeared on the Internet.


    "Well, maybe my worry is really unnecessary." Luya shrugged and continued to do her housework. Before leaving, she said, "I hope this film can maintain "Titanic" and "Remains of a Deserted Island." Level."


    "Sure, dear, you don''t believe in others. Don''t you still believe in Ryan?"


    Turning off Yahoo, Gene went to Ryan¡¯s official website again. This website became the biggest paradise for supporters in the first half of this year.


    A huge promotional poster for "Gladiator". Hanging in the most conspicuous part of the website, Ryan holds a sword in one hand, his eyes are firm, both as mighty as a lion, and as hard as a rock. It seems that for the faith in his heart, he will not hesitate to pay the price of his life.


    In Jean¡¯s impression, Ryan had never filmed an action movie. Well, "Terminator 2" is a sci-fi action drama. How old was he at that time? In fact, it is just a saved one.


    Now that the media is hyping up, in addition to Maximus in "Gladiator", Ryan also has the king Aragorn in "The Lord of the Rings" and Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars". Action role, does he like action movies now?


    He couldn''t help thinking of the rumors some time ago. If the schedule weren''t right, Ryan might have taken over Peter Parker.


    However, Ryan doesn''t seem to be in line with Spider-Man in terms of image or personal experience.


    If you let yourself choose, Ryan is the most suitable Captain America. In reality, Ryan, just like Steve Rogers in the comics, is the best representative of the American spirit!


    After dispelling his own random thoughts, Gene opened the message section, which has always been a concentrated place for die-hard fans. Although a few abusers occasionally run out, in front of a large number of supporters, even the smallest waves can''t be turned up.


    "The Boston Cinema Group is ready, and currently 16,000 people are ready to buy tickets in advance..."


    "The box office in the Greater Pittsburgh area is handed over to us!"


    "Ryan''s first film was shot in Philadelphia. Philadelphia has the largest support group."


    "New York is Ryan''s second hometown, where he has his best friend and strongest supporter!"


    "A fan from London said that Britain is Ryan''s second hometown!"


    The message board is full of supportive voices. After a year of hard work, the fans finally waited for the new work, and they seemed to be impatient.


    However, last year''s "The Pianist" obviously left a shadow like Luya in some people''s hearts.


    "What if the movie "The Pianist" is as dull?"


    As soon as this voice appeared, it was completely suppressed by a series of rebuttals.


    "Have you never watched the trailer? Is that the atmosphere and rhythm of a literary film?"


    "A literary film with a production cost of 100 million dollars? Do you think the world is crazy?"


    "Last year, Ryan promised us that in the future, filming movies will first take care of our viewing experience."


    After browsing briefly, Gene knocked out his message-this Christmas, belongs to Ryan and "Gladiator", the theater meets, see or leave!


    In the eyes of these supporters, the so-called ¡®plagiarism¡¯ litigation is simply a joke even more ridiculous than God¡¯s sudden change into Satan.


    At the same time, in the vineyards of the Napa River Valley, Nicole Kidman was also browsing this website, looking at the extremely familiar figures hanging in the prominent position of the website, she couldn''t tell the complexity.


    Naomi Watts, who had been with her to relax, walked over, looked at the LCD screen, and asked, "Nicole, shall we go to the premiere?"


    "Why are you going?" Nicole''s fingers holding the mouse turned white, as if she wanted to crush the mouse as the key to some bastard.


    Naomi didn¡¯t say much, she just hugged her friend¡¯s shoulders lightly, and comforted, ¡°Time will eventually solve all of this. Although there is not much contact with Ryan, I believe he has always been most concerned about you. ."


    "Thank you for everything, Nami." Nicole''s words revealed sincerity, and then changed her tone. "Does he really care about me? A man''s ambition and **** will never be filled."


    At the end, it turned into gritted teeth.


    The time has entered the week before Christmas. Because "Gladiator" will be released next weekend, the most intense period in previous years seems a bit deserted, even "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". The movies on the subject were moved to the beginning of December.


    As for the terrible box office of "The Pianist" last year, no one who really understands the movie is not sure. Even if this kind of movie is so hyped, it is impossible to sell it. The type of movie restricts its box office, which has nothing to do with personal appeal. Too much relationship.


    If a small-cost niche movie can be sold by relying only on a well-known actor and director, or by hype, Hollywood''s profit-seeking filmmakers will have to work hard to get hundreds of millions of dollars. The big production?


    The market has its inevitable laws, just like if Ryan appeared in a large-scale commercial film, no one would dare to ignore the potential influence of this film.


    The big productions selected for Christmas this year lacked enough influential family movies. Instead, they are epic films. The two super blockbuster films with a production cost of about 100 million U.S. dollars will have a head-to-head ¡®showdown¡¯.


    This weekend, the production cost was as high as 95 million US dollars. The French director Jean Jacques Arnault personally created the three British actors Jude Law, Rachel Vichy and Ralph Fiennes. At the box office, the war epic film "Saving Private Ryan" was completely overturned-"The Soldiers Are Under the City"-the first to land on North American theaters.


    However, the film was hit hard before it was released. Although the German producer signed a distribution agreement with Paramount, it did not pay a certain amount of publicity deposit due to funding problems, which resulted in the film¡¯s publicity being not in place and it was released. At the previous theater trial conference, representatives from theaters unanimously watched the movie, resulting in only more than 1,500 theaters signing contracts.


    Of course, the publicity and theatrical line are insufficient, and there are not a few movies that have successfully comebacks in the later period, such as the previous "Titanic", but there is a premise that the quality of the film must be excellent.


    How is the quality of the movie?


    Audiences who like snipers will definitely feel that the duel inside is full of romanticism. Unfortunately, the movies about World War II that can be sold in North America are all realistic or reflective types, plus the inherent weakness of setting and actors. , The result is that the critics and the audience unanimously do not buy it.


    If the audience focuses on the core story of the sharpshooter and sharpshooter contest, UU read and don¡¯t mind the chaotic Southern-Northern Tuning or the very unreliable sideline of the love story, or whatever. Personal relationship-then maybe you will enjoy it.


    However, the terrible character dialogue, the inexplicable dog-blood love triangle, and the mediocre level of directing make this movie a very ordinary work.


    In the first week, 1509 theaters won US$13.81 million. This is the first week of box office performance of "Arrived at the City" in North America. For a film with an investment of nearly 100 million US dollars, the first week¡¯s single library score is less than 10,000, which is simply a huge one. disaster.


    Not to mention winning the North American weekly box office championship with such results, even the "Monster Electric Company", which has been in theaters for several weeks, is not as good.


    In the second week, the movie¡¯s theater line increased by more than a hundred. Before the weekend, the box office was still bleak, with only a figure of more than 3 million U.S. dollars, which proved that it was not just a publicity problem, but this movie. Movies are simply not suitable for the market.


    Although there is still one weekend to re-prove yourself, this weekend, the strongest competitor of the Christmas file will be released soon! ()

 Chapter 478： Premiere after 2 years

    On December 22, on Friday night in Los Angeles local time, a simulated version of the ancient Roman arena was built in front of the Shrine Grand Theater. Warriors in Roman armor stood on both sides of the red carpet holding swords and shields, as if waiting. The king inspected the guards. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    After two years, North American movie fans finally ushered in the premiere of the movie starring Ryan...


    Hung in front of the Shrine Grand Theater is a huge poster of Ryan swinging his horse and swinging his sword, which seems to herald the beginning of a new era. From now on, the action scenes he starred in will continue to appear on the big screen in the next few years.


    When Ryan showed up on the red carpet with Charlize Theron, shouts that could overturn the entire Hollywood erupted at the scene. The neat''Ryan'' almost passed through Beverly Hills. Directly to the port of Santa Monica.


    The reporter could not hear the sound of pressing the shutter at all. The flashing light seemed to map the dark dresses worn by the two men into silver. If it were not for the blockade of dozens of strong bodyguards, the two of Ryan would definitely not be able to move a bit.


    "Who else in Hollywood today can cause such a sensation?" Some reporters outside the crowd sighed.


    "Ryan''s influence is truly unparalleled." The person next to him pointed to Charlize Theron, who was wearing a one-shoulder dark evening dress. "That beautiful diamond is standing by his side, and it is even more powerful!"


    "Good-looking men and beautiful women..."


    "Wrong! It''s the prince and Cinderella!"


    Walking to the middle of the red carpet and getting closer to the fans on both sides, Ryan only heard it. Amidst the enthusiastic cheers, there were still many girls'' attacks on Charlize, and he immediately quickened his pace.


    "It''s okay." Charlize followed Ryan''s footsteps and laughed in a low voice, "I am used to it after such a long time."


    I was already standing next to him. Who cares about a few swear words?


    When he came to the interview area, Ryan patted his slender arm, and Charlize nodded sensibly. Walked directly into the Shrine Grand Theater. He answered a few questions about the movie at random, and ignored the romance that the reporter asked about. I found Leonardo, who had also been interviewed by the reporter, took a group photo with the rest of the crew, and walked towards the theater together.


    "I went to Gisele''s hometown some time ago. The sun, the beach and the passionate Brazilian beauties are so charming." Leonardo said of his recent vacation trip. "It''s a paradise on earth."


    "It''s also a paradise for crime." In Ryan''s impression, Brazil is indeed beautiful, and the law and order are adequate.


    "That''s true." Leonardo nodded and looked curiously at the staff dressed as Roman soldiers, and followed Ryan into the theater gate. "I have seen kids playing football on the beach. From the sand. He took out the pistol and continued to play after robbing the tourists, not afraid to call the police at all."


    Enter the theater. Ryan greeted the guests politely. In any case, he is the leading actor in this movie. If others come over, it means to join you. A few words of greeting are definitely indispensable.


    He received rigorous British etiquette training when he was a child, coupled with the social skills that he has developed over the years, he can deal with it easily.


    Charlize, who was holding his arm, always maintained a decent smile, fully showing his beauty and temperament, like a mistress.


    "Hi, Shirley." When he came to a few people, Ryan happened to hear the topic of the movie they were talking about, "What are you talking about?"


    When I saw the questioning person was Ryan, Shirley Lansing seemed to have found a bitter owner, complaining, "A few days ago, the Germans asked us why we could win 3,600 theaters for "Gladiator", and " There are only 1,500 stores in "Armoring in the City", Ryan, can you help me reply?"


    Ryan understood that she was joking, shrugged casually, and didn''t say anything.


    The theaters pay more attention to practical interests than the producers. Even if the number of movie theaters is insufficient, if they show the potential for big sales, then they will definitely not hesitate to increase the number of screens, but "Soldiers in the City" is obviously not in this ranks. .


    Like the "Ghost" in this life and the "Blair the Witch" in the past, how many years can a bad film be turned into a big-selling movie?


    Not to mention other things, just talk about the cooperation between Ryan and Paramount Pictures over the years, which side will they focus on?


    At this premiere, not only a large number of stars came, but Jenkins Pictures also sent invitations to many senior people in the academy. The chairman of the academy Robert Lime personally arrived. After Ryan stepped forward to say hello, ha Wei Weinstein and Pie Kingsley have been chatting with them all the time.


    "It''s impossible to guess what kind of role will get the best actor and actress."


    When he walked into the theater and sat in his seat, Ryan rubbed Charlize''s fingers and whispered some Oscar-related things, "But if you don''t play a role in public relations, you will definitely miss the golden man!"


    "So you are very confident this year?" Charlize leaned to his ear and asked in a low voice.


    "Until the last minute, no one can guess the result."


    Thinking of his age and previous storms, Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head, "The judges always have a way to make you speechless."


    "Like last year." Charlize naturally thought of the best film of last year''s "The Pianist". "Use another heavyweight award to compensate?"


    Ryan avoided answering, instead talking about Charlize, "You have read some of the scripts I wrote. Do you have any thoughts?"


    "I''m going to shave my eyebrows and put on ugly makeup. That''s okay." Charlize complained just right. "But I have to gain 30 pounds. God, I can imagine myself bloated now."


    "It''s only temporary." Ryan had no choice but to comfort him.


    "Don''t think I don''t know. You don''t like women who are overly plump." Charlize moved closer. "Will you still have **** with me then?"


    "Of course." Ryan nodded without hesitation.


    "Men always judge women by appearance." Charlize deliberately showed disbelief. "Well, my dear, if you can''t stand it anymore, you can go to them."


    This is not a good topic, Ryan wisely chose to be silent, and then waited for the beginning of the movie.


    Outside the Shrine Grand Theater, the crowd on both sides of the red carpet quickly dispersed. Those who were lucky enough to get tickets for the premiere couldn¡¯t wait to walk into the theater. Gene and Luya are naturally one of them, although they must be Sitting in the back, but being able to watch the movie ahead of others, is the greatest happiness for fanatical fans like them.


    The movie is about to begin. There is silence around them, keeping quiet is the most basic courtesy of watching the movie, everyone is waiting for this epic masterpiece.


    The lights went out in rows, and the big screen gradually brightened. The opening titles of Paramount and Jenkins Pictures appeared one after another, followed by a brief introduction to the background of the film''s story.


    "This is an unprecedented huge empire. Its border extends from North Africa to the north of England. Its emperor holds the power of life and death for one third of the world''s population. The name of this empire is Rome!"


    "The winter of 180 AD... If the war against the Germans is won, the Roman Empire will enjoy peace forever!"


    Nowadays, the largest ticket warehouse of the world''s movies is still North America, and many Americans do not pay attention to the history outside their own country at all. Whether it is to supplement the story of the movie or to take care of the North American audience, such a profile is essential.


    "The Roman Empire? Is it really that big?" Luya, who had always been active, couldn''t help but said when she heard the question of someone next to her, "Did you not check the relevant background information before watching the movie? Hey..."


    Pulling his wife a bit, Gene told her to keep quiet, and there were already dissatisfied eyes around him, and he would not be happy if anyone was interrupted watching the movie.


    The first complete picture of the movie is a close-up of Ryan. He is wearing a gorgeous Roman armor and a fur cape. He has reviewed his phalanx. The greetings of the soldiers¡¯ generals indicate his identity. Also confessed that this is a commander-in-chief loved by soldiers.


    "Courage and glory!"


    "Courage and glory!"


    This line of dialogue that appeared many times is undoubtedly the best portrayal of Roman soldiers at that time.


    Most of the people who played the Roman legionaries were hired soldiers from England. These were originally disciplined troops, even in the film, they showed a rigorous lineup.


    The Germans made up of extras don''t need to look more to know that they are a mob.


    At the beginning of the movie, there are not many places to show the individual. A fierce opening battle, although too routine, is one of the best ways to attract the audience to watch.


    Then, there was a battle between the Roman Legion and the Germans. Although the Romans showed advanced weapons such as trebuchets, ballistas, and longbowmen, and also engaged in cavalry and infantry flanking back and forth, the movie was as fast as it was filmed. I fell into a state of chaos like street melee.


    Ridley Scott is ultimately a major Hollywood director After post-retouching and montage editing, the camera switching speed here is very fast, it seems that the battle is extremely fierce and bloody, forming a strong vision Shock.


    "Why do I have a feeling of suffocation?" Luya thought in her heart, clutching her husband''s arm tightly.


    Gene''s eyes never left the big screen, and he patted his wife''s hand tacitly.


    The war is fierce, death is icy, the sword pierced the Germanic body, the axe chopped off the head of the Roman soldier, such a fierce and **** picture, the movie''s level can only be rated as r-level.


    The shot was mainly placed on the body of Maximus, played by Ryan, with many facial close-ups. The Roman general was brave and good at fighting. He didn''t hesitate to use killing to solve the problem.


    Perhaps some people will regard this opening scene as a reflection on the cruel war.


    However, such people obviously overestimate the moral standards of Hollywood. In order to cater to the market and attract the audience, directors and producers do not care how many people can die or save in war. ()

 Chapter 479： He is a hero

    The battle scene in the first 20 minutes is a standard commercial film technique. It can even be said to have been used in Hollywood epic movies. The purpose of this is very clear, to attract the audience to continue watching, and most of the audience is staring at the screen. From the perspective of both eyes, the expected effect has been fully achieved.


    What is the most critical factor for a movie to sell well? Reflection, artistry, or profound themes? This is certainly not the case. Big-selling movies have the same key factors and can provide enough entertainment for the audience.


    No surprises, as all the audience expected, the well-equipped and well-organized regular army wiped out the Germanic mob.


    This war scene, which had little actual connection with the plot, came to an end with the cheers of "Long Live Rome" led by Maximus played by Ryan.


    The film enters the conspiracy stage. Commodus personally kills his father and seizes the throne, Quintas rebels against the Legion, and the new emperor seeks to execute Maximus...


    The tense plot caused the audience''s tense emotions. Gene held Luya''s hand tightly, but rarely spoke. As a veteran who has been watching movies for many years, he knows how to make strange admirations or sounds of wonder. What an annoying behavior around people.


    As a movie theater audience, what do you hate the most?


    If you ask the audience about this question, you must have seen a super bad movie. If you ask the second person, there must be people around you constantly making noises, which affect your emotions.


    Gene still remembers "Screaming and Screaming", in which there was a female audience who kept making noise to disturb the tranquility in the theater, and the other audience who was irritated were dismembered. In fact, they mocked some people in the theater who could not watch the movie quietly .


    In most mainstream theaters in North America, maintaining a quiet viewing state is the most basic courtesy.


    In terms of the actor''s appeal alone. This movie is undoubtedly too much more than the previous life, not to mention Ryan and Leonardo DiCaprio, who has entered the ranks of superstars after "Mission Impossible", and Jennifer Lopez can also attract many male audiences. , Although the only female character with a little weight. She acted as an out-and-out big vase.


    no doubt. Compared to Maximus, he was highly regarded by the old emperor and loved by his subordinates. Commodes is a tragedy.


    He wanted to be the great emperor of the Roman Empire, but his heir was not himself. How noble and upright Maximus is, how sinister and despicable he is.


    But he is also a poor man. He is also a very real person, or reflects the other side of people-selfishness! Ambition! **!


    It''s just that he is more extreme and perverted.


    And what about Maximus? His series of tragedies may not be caused by his own character.


    However, it is this kind of personality that can show the dramatic conflict between the characters and highlight the charm of the protagonist.


    Maximus'' leadership style and man''s sense of responsibility. The love for your family is where you can easily impress the audience.


    The **** of destiny seems to be teasing this heroic general. He gave up his mission to bring the Roman Empire to the Republic and wanted to return home to reunite with his wife and children. However, he was greeted by the cruel reality-his home was destroyed and his wife and children were killed by soldiers sent by the new emperor.


    After burying his family, Maximus''s previous wishes and aspirations were all shattered. At this time, what he wanted was not power, status, and the future of Rome. Without courage and honor, I am afraid that he would be more of a desire to die, right?


    If you die, you will be a hundred, and you will be able to reunite with your family, and you don''t have to worry about the disturbances in this world.


    Perhaps some viewers would have such thoughts, but the plot of the movie is tortuous after all. Maximus was rescued and fully explained what fate is about. His true mission has not yet been completed. His greatest wish is after death. Reunited with family-it is impossible to be satisfied.


    However, at this time, he lost all the aura he had originally possessed, and was in a situation where it was impossible to complete the task assigned to him by the old emperor, but the gears of fate would not stop turning because of these, and he had to wake up after suffering.


    From the commander-in-chief of the Roman Army of the North, to becoming a slave, what kind of change is needed?


    Maximus was like a walking dead, as if he had lost all his goals, but lived a numb slave life, and was eventually bought by a gladiator merchant and became a gladiator.


    The sword is held in the hand of a gladiator, and life or death depends on oneself to fight, this is the fate of the gladiator!


    Slashing, slashing, and killing is undoubtedly Maximus''s best skill. He won the arena again and again and became the most popular gladiator in the area. The name "Spaniard" became the king of gladiatorial fights in the region.


    The arena of blood and sand, fierce battles, and enthusiastic atmosphere are undoubtedly the best way to attract audiences.


    And Ryan used his own performance to show the process of Maximus gradually returning to normal from the confusion to everyone. Although it inevitably has the characteristics of expressionism, in his own opinion, it is more than Russell Crowe in the previous life at least outperformed him.


    The decent protagonist will eventually collide with the despicable villain, and no movie can escape this fixed pattern.


    After Commodores succeeded to the throne, in order to stabilize the people¡¯s minds, he decided to restart the banned gladiatorial arena. News soon reached this side. Maximus agreed to the gladiatorial merchant¡¯s request. He was going to Rome and standing on the emperor¡¯s side. before.


    It''s just that he is not for freedom, but for revenge, in order to make the emperor pay the price for his crimes.


    Rome, the center of the Roman Empire, its splendor represents the civilized side of the Roman Empire.


    The huge arena is majestic, but like a **** slaughterhouse, it is the other side of the barbarism of the Roman Empire.


    Although the film used a large number of models and post-production special effects to reproduce the great city of the year, the audience has been baptized by too many special effects and will no longer make exclamations like when the Titanic broke and sank.


    In recent years, the rapid development of visual effects has become a commonplace movie technology for ordinary audiences.


    Unless a huge breakthrough can be achieved in special effects, it is difficult to count on the existing technology to stun the audience.


    Besides, the special effects technology shown in "Gladiator" is definitely not top-notch, nor is it the biggest selling point of the movie.


    The life in the city of Rome was presented to the audience, and the emperor Commodes was not easy to do as expected. He had conflicts with the Senate and his sister, and he had to beware of others coveting his position...


    The only thing to be happy about is that the lifting of the ban on gladiatorial sports seems to have won him the support of the people. Tens of thousands of people shouting in unison in the arena seem to make him feel satisfied.


    In the face of this **** and brutal competitive gladiatorial battle, the sword in his hand is undoubtedly the most reliable partner. After experiencing the long-term shooting of "The Lord of the Rings" and learning specialized gladiatorial swordsmanship, Ryan fully demonstrated a man''s strong and brave side, at the same time There is no lack of wisdom. The Maximus he played, just like himself, has been striving and trying again and again, constantly moving towards victory, and shaping his own personality charm!


    As a result, he and Comdes stood opposite each other in the arena. After discovering his true identity, Comdes could only take some despicable ways to kill him in the arena due to the pressure of the people. , But he resolved them one by one, but won more support from the people.


    However, the **** slaughter and the passionate scene of the crowd made Maximos'' understanding of Rome confused. What is his ideal life in the Roman Empire? It''s definitely not what it is now!


    Seeing these scenes of distorted concepts, watching the blood type fight between people and the madness of death, even the admired Commodores is envied and jealous, but Maximus does not have any sense of glory. More of a roar at this real world.


    The Roman Empire needs salvation and needs to move towards a republic.


    It seems that this is Maximus¡¯ mission. His former sects have come to his side. The princess and the Senator will appear one by one. Maximus must make a choice to complete the mission that the old emperor gave him, and at the same time complete his own. revenge!


    Failure to escape, being arrested, being arrested for rebelling against the alliance, etc., a series of things are just to prove one point, what matters is solved in the arena.


    Comdes wants to kill Maximus, more than anyone else wants to kill him, but his reason tells him that he can¡¯t do so with integrity, because Maximus has become a popular hero, once he kills Maximus, who became an out-and-out tyrant in the minds of the people, under the current Roman system, he knew better than anyone what would happen at that time.


    As a result, Maximus and Commodores, as well as all the main characters that appeared in the film, inevitably will appear in the magnificent, **** and savage arena when the **** comes.


    Since the villain is sinister and despicable, before the arrival of the ***, he will naturally be sinister and despicable, so that the audience can completely hate him, so that the atmosphere that was suppressed when he killed the old emperor can be completely released!


    Like all movies, the villain will eventually die in the hands of the protagonist, even if he has exhausted his conspiracy and tricks and used a poison dagger, he will definitely end up betraying his family.


    And the hero? The dead hero will be greater and more memorable.


    What''s more, Maximus'' greatest wish is to reunite with his wife and children, and his death may not be a relief.


    The revenge is successful, and the film has to show what is most suitable for American values. In order to eliminate dictatorship and tyrants, heroes will do whatever it takes.


    "Quintas, whoever let me go, restore the power of the Senate. The Roman Republic is a dream, and it should be realized!"


    At the beginning of the film, Quintas, who says ¡®people have to admit their fate¡¯, is not the smartest character in the film from a certain point of view.


    "Glory him!"


    In the magnificent background music, everyone held up Maximus.


    "He is a hero!"


    This is undoubtedly the most true psychological portrayal of the audience at this moment. ()

 Chapter 480： Amazed

    The hero''s tragic death is like walking into his own destiny. The courage and glory of the past are turned into a tactful ending song. This song called "Now We Are Free" is undoubtedly the best portrayal of the movie''s ending. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test (Pingnan Literature Net)


    Freedom, in this country, is considered to be beyond the place of life, and there is even no value that can override it.


    for freedom!


    The theme of this kind of movie is so old-fashioned and so Hollywood, but nothing can cater to the existence of mainstream society better than this kind of theme. The filming of a movie is not a lonely self-respect. It wants to be welcomed and wants to be the most authoritative in Hollywood Recognition by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences must conform to the world¡¯s most typical values.


    The meaning of "" has already penetrated every corner of this society.


    Therefore, even though "Gladiator" is about the ancient Roman Empire, it perfectly reflects the American values. When the theater lights came back on, the applause rang out and even lasted for several minutes.


    "A great work!"


    "An epic masterpiece!"


    "Your performance is amazing..."


    Countless congratulations sounded in Ryan''s ears, and he responded politely one by one.


    "You are too man in the movie."


    "I never found you to be so charming..."


    Several close female friends, such as Drew Barrymore, came over and joked.


    Including the chairman of the academy, Robert Rhyme, came over and praised the movie. About ten minutes later, the surrounding talents gradually dispersed. Drew Barrymore, who had been whispering beside him, approached Charlize Theron.


    "Hi, Charlie." This unreliable woman in life, but a good socialist. "From today onwards, you have to look at Ryan. He is so charming in the movie, trust me. After this movie is released. Women who want to pursue him can line up from Hollywood Boulevard to Universal Studios."


    Charlize just smiled back. But he didn''t take Drew''s topic.


    "Okay, Drew." Ryan motioned to her to shut up, then turned and said, "Charlie. You have a chat with Drew, and I''ll go to the press conference."


    Dealing with reporters or something is the most troublesome. Ryan is just talking about the questions of these crazy people in the news hall.


    For example, "Ridley is a great director. It is because of his excellent level of directing that this movie is made... Leonardo and Jennifer Lopez are both excellent partners, and I look forward to continuing with them next time." Cooperation¡­¡­''


    Because of the large number of action scenes in the movie. The reporter asked about the two roles of Aragorn and Anakin Skywalker, but he pushed them down on the pretext of not answering questions unrelated to the movie.


    After so many years, Ryan has dealt with reporters. I have exercised easily and freely, except for specially appointed interviews, basically not revealing too many questions of interest to reporters.


    Like an outnumbered warrior on the battlefield, Ryan squeezed out of the news hall and drove a **** road under the **** of bodyguards. He finally entered his car, but even if the car drove into Beverly Hills, There are still many motorcycles and cameras around.


    "Oh, and the female paparazzi." Charlize looked at reporters jumping up and down outside through the specially handled car window, like watching a movie. "My dear, your attraction is really huge."


    "Charlie." Ryan shook his finger to Charlize, who was sitting across from him. "Believe me, they are most interested in you. They just want to make sure you are in this car."


    "Would you like me to put down the window to say hello to them." Charlize winked his eyes mischievously.


    Ryan made a random gesture. He really didn''t care about it now. Charlize giggled and suddenly adjusted his seat to bring himself closer to Ryan. His white and tender feet kicked off the high heels and put them on. On his long legs.


    The ten toes painted with pink nail polish are as white and delicate as the face of a South African diamond. They flexibly fall on Ryan''s belt buckle, and deliberately press it somewhere below at a very slow and very slow speed. Protruding place.


    Rubbing, stepping, and flicking, it seems that the best masseurs in the world are not as flexible as these beautiful feet.


    Such a movement made the straight and slender legs inevitably dangle in front of him, and then Ryan discovered that under Charlize''s evening gown it seemed... as if there was nothing.


    Probably noticing where Ryan¡¯s eyes fell, the beautiful diamond said generously, ¡°The T-shape I wore tonight is too tight and it¡¯s a bit uncomfortable. I took it off after I got in the car.¡±


    As he said, a hand stretched out from behind, inside was a ball of black lace, "Honey, do you want it?"


    "All I want is you."


    With the sound of thorns, an expensive Dior evening dress was scrapped.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    After the movie ended, Gene and Luya returned home. The intense and exciting movie consumed too much energy for them. They just chatted for a while before they were ready to fall asleep.


    Half lying on the bed with a thin quilt, the pictures of the movie flashed through his mind one after another. Gene found that he couldn''t sleep at all, so he just got up and went to the front of the computer, opened the message board of Ryan''s personal website, and planned to write something.


    Because he is engaged in the media industry, his writing style is fairly decent.


    After thinking about it for about ten minutes, a line of letters appeared on the computer screen.


    "From "Sixth Sense" to "Terminator 2", from "Cat and Mouse Game" to "Remains of a Deserted Island", Ryan has gradually matured from an early age. Although his acting styles are varied, he has devoted himself to us very professionally. With so many thrilling or magnificent films and characters, of course I am not repeating Ryan¡¯s brilliant history, but I want to use these histories to illustrate that "Gladiator" is no less than any previous one. One!"


    "Perhaps the following words are the best description of Ryan''s role in it."


    "The noisy round arena is as silent as the earth under the scorching sun. All eyes are directed in that direction, blocking the sun''s rays. He stands like a giant stone statue standing on the field, killing the tranquility, and the blood seems to be still there. Flowing, condescending self-esteem scorched under Jian Feng''s finger. At that moment, the echo of life forging was filled with the sadness of heroes. Let''s fight like this, in the name of freedom!"


    "Well, I admit that I am a little excited, but Ryan''s image in the movie is too perfect. He is a good man with principles, faith, honor, honor, and a beloved wife. He can respond no matter where he goes. As long as you continue to move forward, you will be able to gain the spontaneous respect of people to pave the way for it. If it were not for being conspired to die, this would be an absolutely perfect history!


    "Strictly speaking, this is Ryan''s first action scene. His performance is too good. The fights are full of the masculine beauty of men. I can only say that Ryan is so cool. This is a man!"


    Gene just sent out what he had written, and followed relevant comments.


    "I didn''t get a ticket for the premiere. It looks like this movie is very exciting?"


    Then someone replied, "Ryan produces, it must be a boutique!"


    "The movie is beyond your imagination. The final fight between Ryan and Leonardo is simply amazing!"


    "I have ever seen a sentence that there are three things in life that must be defended, freedom, dignity and family. Ryan has made the most powerful interpretation of this sentence in the movie."


    "Maximos is a tragedy. Why does Ryan always kill his character?"


    "I just came back from watching the movie, just want to say a word-the classic of the classics!"


    The premiere was just over, and the traditional media had not had time to react. There were various comments on NetLuo. Jean switched to the blogs of several online film critics who were gradually gaining fame, and their related film reviews have been hung on it. .


    Online film critic James Bradini wrote like this.


    ""Gladiator" is different from previous epic films. This film does not get too entangled in historical details and religious topics, but focuses on the perspective of Maximus played by Ryan. This hero with a strong civilian color conveys the theme of pursuing freedom and democracy through his tragic story."


    "The film is magnificent and the scene is vast. Ryan used his deep acting skills to create such a sad character with full tension. Coupled with Ridley Scott''s top directing level, the whole film shows a difference. That kind of charm and heavy texture."


    In the highest four-star rating, he gave "Gladiator" a three-and-a-half-star rating.


    The film critics also have their own circles. Gene opened the link on the blog, and the blog of "Los Angeles Times" entertainment editor Mick Taylor appeared on the blog The latest film reviews were also updated.


    "Although this film has an obvious Ridley Scott style, the theme is engraved with a deep Ryan Jenkins brand. In the film scripts written by Ryan, there is never a lack of humanities. Caring, there is no shortage of thinking about truth and universal values, as well as discussing good and evil."


    "Freedom, dignity, democracy, and republic, these are the things we are born to pursue. Ryan''s Maximus is a hero. In order to maintain these, he can pay the price of his life. He is a responsible hero. , At the same time it is heavy and firm."


    "I suggest all audiences of the right age to watch the movie "Gladiator". Maybe he can''t infect you, but there is always a trait that can impress you."


    After reading the professionals, Gene turned back to Ryan''s personal website. Now there are more people leaving messages, and one of the most representative ones.


    "Favorite director, favorite theme, favorite picture style, and favorite actor, Ryan portrays a heroic character with his own soul, satisfies the commercial nature without giving up the character''s inner pursuit, he It smells of hormones from beginning to end, and even the tears flying under his wife¡¯s feet are awe-inspiring.)

 Chapter 481： Charisma

    Every time a movie starring Ryan is released, the media has reached the time to enjoy the feast. As long as relevant reviews are published, the sales of newspapers and magazines are certainly not a problem.


    Traditional film critics also know that the influence of their own group has plummeted, so naturally they will not let go of this eye-catching opportunity.


    "A thrilling, magnificent epic, Ryan Jenkins''s unparalleled performance, and Ridley Scott''s superb control will make the whole movie very wonderful. "Gladiator" deserves a thumbs-up. ."


    The famous film critic Roger Albert gave the movie a thumbs up in a column in the Chicago Tribune.


    "When Ryan Jenkins drove the captured white horse in the majestic arena, wielding a sharp sword and shouting at a bunch of slaves to regroup the team, I seemed to see him who went forward bravely in Hollywood. He was very handsome and heroic. , As if the whole world is on the shoulders."


    "Ryan did not prepare many lines for himself, but every sentence is memorable. His performance is not only a performance, but also a kind of spirit and a realm. He can let the slave owner give up his life to protect his beliefs. To stop an officer from doing evil, Maximus¡¯s role has so many memorable things, he is simply synonymous with faith, ideals and courage!"


    The comments from the "New York Post" clearly focused on Ryan''s performance. Many media, especially the partners, are actually very clear about what the film is aimed at, and naturally spare no effort to do the most basic public relations.


    "Since a few years ago, we have been saying that Ryan is one of the best acting people among the younger generation of Hollywood. The movie "Gladiator" and the role of Maximus undoubtedly prove this."


    "Especially at the end of the film, the injured Maximus saw no fear or hatred in his eyes. No sadness was seen. At that moment, there was only a **** and a terrified beast facing each other in the middle of the arena. When Commodes, played by Leonardo, fell with a frightened expression, Maximus¡¯ eyes flashed with relief. He seemed to be a soldier who was about to leave the world. Complete the final mission to go to heaven to accompany his loved ones day and night. At that moment he was so close to the gods, at that moment he was bidding farewell to the world. A human **** slept in the wheat field without concern, walking towards the blue world with brilliance and a smile..."


    "We have no way of knowing how much Ryan has paid for this film, but Leonardo DiCaprio, whose acting skills have always been criticized by others, was driven by him. They all showed the extraordinary charm of the role, using yesterday In his own words at the late press conference-Ryan gave him so much shock in acting, that there was this outbreak."


    -"Los Angeles Times"


    Since "Brave Heart" in 1995, Hollywood has set off a wave of retro epic war films, which has cultivated a large number of epic fans, coupled with the strong appeal of Ryan and Leonardo, from the second The beginning of the day. It attracted a steady stream of viewers into the theater.


    Although many film critics sneered at the film, for example, Gary Graham, who is known as the biggest opponent of Ryan Jenkins, updated a comment on his blog.


    "The film uses malaise instead of personalities. Ryan Jenkins obviously did not learn from the failure of "The Pianist". He continues to believe that if the characters in the film are bitter enough and depressed enough, the audience will not think of how boring they are. How good is "Benxu", how ostentatious and stupid this movie is!"


    He also learned from other famous film critics and directly gave the film a star rating.


    However, no matter what the critics say, whether the film is popular or not, after all, the audience has the final say.


    The film was selected for its premiere on Friday. Starting from Saturday, most of the theaters showing "Gladiator" have more than two-thirds of attendance, and the TV station immediately interviewed more than 70% of the audience. Of people are quite satisfied with the movie.


    Word of mouth is also an excellent way to promote the box office.


    Jenkins Pictures¡¯ publicity has not been relaxed at all. The Internet, TV and print media have always maintained appropriate news advertisements about "Gladiator". Some film critics who have accepted sponsorship are divided into praise and moderate criticism. Relying on their respective columns and blogs, the two camps have launched a battle against each other.


    To a certain extent, these have driven the topic of the movie.


    Christmas is approaching. On Sunday, more audiences who entered theaters chose to watch "Gladiator", and even some well-located theaters were full of seats, although it was different from "The Matrix 2: Reinstallation" during the summer vacation. "Going to Battle" cannot be compared, but in this Christmas file, it is already the most popular movie.


    If you want to get an award, or even want to get an Oscar nomination, the quality of the film is the foundation, but public relations is an indispensable means.


    Starting from the second day of the movie¡¯s release, Ryan convened a grand party at the Hilton Hotel for two consecutive days. For a time, Hollywood celebrities gathered. If it were not for the time, it would be like holding a Golden Globe awards ceremony.


    The party was not only for the Oscars, but also the Golden Globe nominations were announced at the beginning of the month. Natalie won a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress with the delayed release of "The End of the Grass", although she knows the Long Island Girl There is little hope of winning, but the Golden Globes with only more than 90 judges have been shady since its birth, and they are undoubtedly more susceptible to influence.


    This kind of public relations party is a test of people¡¯s interpersonal skills. Nicole, who used to be a hostess with long sleeves, can be regarded as Ryan¡¯s best partner. Now Charlize Theron is a bit worse in terms of contacts and social skills, but South Africa Diamonds has been working hard to enrich itself and complete the role change as soon as possible.


    Because of the release time, "Gladiator", like Ryan''s past movies, is destined to miss the Golden Globes. Before the Oscar nominations are announced, it is the most critical period of public relations. Harvey Weinstein also wanders among the heavyweights of the academy.


    Ryan has invested more than 10 million US dollars in advertising costs alone. In addition to the current hype, he has successively purchased several issues of multi-page layouts on Vanity Fair, which has a significant influence on the upper echelons of Hollywood. Public relations.


    In addition, he also reached an agreement with Tina Brown that the opening issue of Vanity Fair in 2001 will feature "Gladiator" and Maximus as the cover.


    As Harvey Weinstein said to him at the beginning, Ryan must at least ensure that every judge who voted has watched "Gladiator", even a few fragments of it.


    There are many Oscar judges who vote with their feet!


    After all, Oscars are still far away, and more work needs to be done in private. Although everyone from the industry to the media knows the existence of such things as canvassing, if it goes too far, it will definitely incur resentment from the college...


    The team that Ryan has prepared for a long time is like a ghost, active in the dark places of Hollywood.


    After two busy days in succession, when Christmas comes, Ryan¡¯s most eye-catching is undoubtedly the new week¡¯s box office rankings. After all, his first priority is profit. The movie¡¯s monetary gains are the most obvious. Metric.


    If "Gladiator" is a big investment and big production movie, like "The Pianist" meets the cold reception of the market, then he may become a box office poison in the mouth of the media.


    However, the previous life can be regarded as a big-selling movie. With him, a man whose commercial appeal far surpasses Russell Crowe, will he join the epic film at its last glorious moment. Will it fail?


    On the first Wednesday, especially the two days of the weekend, the movie has maintained a very high attendance rate. In more than 3,600 theaters, it has achieved a box office of 72.55 million US dollars. "Empire 2: Reloading" is a lot worse, but this result has exceeded the outside world''s estimate of 60 million US dollars.


    Even if it is the Christmas stall, the $72.55 million in the box office is enough to overturn "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and firmly occupy the top spot in the North American box office rankings.


    As for the other epic war film "Arrived in the City" during the same period, the box office increased a lot in the two days of the weekend, and the box office of the second week finally stayed at the figure of 8 million dollars. Such a result, let alone want to enter the rankings. In the first three, even the "Monsters Electric Company", which was released for four weeks, was firmly under the pressure for $19.85 million.


    The French director''s ambition to overturn "Saving Private Ryan" at the box office is destined to become one of Hollywood''s typical negative teaching materials, just like this mediocre movie.


    However, this movie also brought another huge impact. Since then, filming movies of former Soviets and Germans during World War II has almost become a taboo in Hollywood.


    The North American box office of "Monster Electric Company" is about to exceed 200 million US dollars. This animated film has shown a strong momentum. It has also become the champion of the local box office rankings in overseas markets, especially in the UK, Japan and other regions that were released in advance. .


    The first day of the second week of "Gladiator" was the Christmas holiday. There was not much change in the number of viewers. This situation continued until December 27, when the attendance rates of major theaters dropped significantly. However, during the weekend, we ushered in an expected rebound, and this result was directly reflected in the box office.


    Like all major commercial productions, "Gladiator" ushered in a drop in the box office in the second week. A full week later, its $52.33 million result still guaranteed its top spot in the North American box office rankings.


    Subsequently, the major schools in North America ushered in another holiday. Major productions such as "Mission Impossible 2" were released successively. "Gladiator" only maintained the position of champion for two weeks, and the number of theaters also quickly reduced to About 3,000, but the subsequent box office has always remained above 20 million US dollars, showing extremely strong resilience.


    This also shows Ryan''s appeal on the other hand. ()

 Chapter 482： Busiest season

    Behind every war epic film is a huge investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. Together with the follow-up Oscar publicity and public relations expenses, the cost of "Gladiator" is close to 170 million U.S. dollars. Such a huge investment, It also means that there are huge difficulties for movies to achieve profitability at the box office.


    War epic movies have always been weak in the sales of peripheral products. There are no advertisements, which reduces the initial sponsorship. The dolls and toys in the back are generally r-rated, and they certainly cannot face children and teenagers directly. This is the largest market.


    When the North American box office of "Gladiator" reached 200 million U.S. dollars, the sales of peripheral products still remained at seven figures, which can only be said to be better than nothing.


    However, after entering 2001, Jenkins Pictures opened other copyright negotiations, and the box office sales also had the cost of raising prices.


    In the end, the television rights of the movie have been sold for US$25 million, the five-year DVD and video tape rights have been sold for US$30 million, and the sales profit is 20%. This totals US$55 million in revenue, plus overseas. With good box office and other subsequent income, it is no longer difficult for movies to achieve profitability.


    "So, in the future, we must try to reduce the production of this type of film."


    In Los Angeles in January, it was a little bit cold at night. Ryan was wearing thick pajamas and sitting on the wicker chair on the balcony. "Epic movies are destined to decline."


    "When I attended Drew''s party a few days ago, I heard that many companies were preparing suitable ancient war film projects after seeing the success of "Gladiator"."


    Charlize Theron next to him hugged a cup of hot cocoa, curled up in a wicker chair, "Warner in particular, it is said that it intends to invest 150 million U.S. dollars to adapt the Trojan Horse Slaughter in Homer''s epic into a movie again."


    "Okay, dear, we don''t have to worry about other companies." Ryan stretched out his hands to the South African Diamond, "Let me try. Are you heavy."


    "I only gained five pounds." Charlize ignored him, pinched a slightly plump face, and said distressedly, "I strictly followed the nutritionist''s plan, but the effect is not too obvious. I should reduce the amount of exercise. Go to sleep when you finish eating."


    "So. From today, we''d better sleep in separate rooms." She said rather helplessly.


    "This is too cruel." Ryan seemed even more helpless, spreading his hands, "Don''t you think our exercise every night can promote your appetite more?"


    Charlize did not answer the conversation and drank the remaining hot cocoa. Stand up and walk towards the bedroom, "I''m going to rest, shall we?"


    "Are you going first?" Ryan waved his hand, "Honey, you are so attractive to me, I can''t help lying down together."


    Some things are destined to be unchangeable when getting along. Ryan will try his best to make her feel happy and happy. Beautiful love words and language of praise are undoubtedly a good way to enhance feelings.


    Watching Charlize walk into the room with a bright smile, Ryan looked to the east unconsciously. A little closer is the former home. It is said that Nicole has returned and is going to Australia to shoot a new movie, regardless of the follow-up How to develop, the two can only maintain a tacit understanding. Exist as a passerby.


    The farther place he couldn''t see was New York. Harvard started a new vacation. Natalie returned to the Big Apple. Because she kept a regular contact every week, the Long Island girl was much more cheerful than before. Natalie is coming back.


    Slowly walked to the balcony. Ryan held on to the guardrail, his eyes raised slightly, and the dark night sky was dotted with stars. I don''t know which one can see Nicole and Natalie. Which one can tell themselves what they are thinking.


    A familiar breath came from behind, his slender arms hugged his waist, and his soft body pressed tightly on his back.


    Ryan didn''t speak, and Charlize was also silent, because there are some things that don''t need to be said, just keeping a tacit understanding is enough.


    After a long time, Ryan turned around and kissed her forehead. The South African Diamond returned a bright smile. He kissed from her forehead all the way, and finally landed on the blushing lips, with four petals entangled in the lips. Together, gently sucking, and gradually turning from gentle to wild, the light kiss finally evolved into a French wet kiss.


    "Charlie, tell me you won''t leave me in the future, will you?" Ryan stared into her eyes tightly.


    "Yes, I will not leave." Charlize said in his heart that only idiots would leave their current position, "No matter what happens, I will stay with you."


    After speaking, South Africa Diamond''s eyes flashed, and the opposite was a very smart person. The earlier you thought about it, the better.


    Hugging the slender and soft body, Ryan walked into the bedroom, put her down gently, and then lay on one side, with their heads pressed against their heads, as if they were naughty children who hadn''t grown up, speaking intimate words , Occasionally gently brushing each other''s most sensitive parts, and then cleverly fleeing before causing each other to tremble.


    Sometimes, this kind of gentleness is better than the most direct affection.


    Under Charlize''s intentional guidance, the conversation turned to the past, and the past that she didn''t know much about came out one by one.


    "Before I was ten, I had a happy family. Mom and Dad treated me very well."


    Unknowingly, Charlize got into Ryan¡¯s arms, those bright eyes gleaming with sadness, "Later, everything changed. My father''s career was not going well and he became addicted to alcohol. Every time he got drunk, Will be to the mother..."


    She paused for a while, and slowly bit her lip.


    These things were revealed by the media as early as when Charlize became famous, and Ryan knew it too. He grabbed the trembling body in his arms.


    "My dear, it''s all over." He kissed the tears from the corners of her eyes.


    "Ryan, is it okay to listen to me?" Charlize suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him seriously, "I know these things have been hyped up in the media, but I want to tell you personally, I must tell Listen, I don¡¯t want us to have any misunderstandings in the future."


    Nodding lightly, Ryan motioned her to continue.


    "This situation lasted until the age of fifteen. My mother and I put up with it in 1991." Charlize closed his eyes again, as if not wanting to see the other side of the world, the real and cruel side, "June 1991. On the 21st, I will never forget that day."


    "Father was drunk, and not only did he once again violently abuse his mother, after going crazy, he still wanted to...and also to..."


    After hesitating for a while, the word finally squeezed out between her teeth, "I want to **** me! My mother desperately protected me and led me into the room. He made a noise outside the door, and finally smashed it open. The door, and...then Mom shot him, and he fell in front of me bleeding."


    "Although the court finally ruled that my mother was in self-defense and exempted from being held accountable, we never wanted to stay in South Africa anymore, so I went to Europe and became a model." She opened her eyes slowly, "Then I found out. The reality of this world is terrible, some people can do incredible things in order to get ahead..."


    "From now on, no one can hurt you again." Ryan kissed his forehead hard, "I will protect you, Charlie."


    "Ryan, the frustration experience of modeling circles and ballet school taught me how to survive and made me more realistic. I am not just myself, but I have to protect my mother." Charlize hesitated and continued, " So I¡­¡­"


    "I understand, Charlie." Ryan held up her cheek and leaned in front of her own eyes. "But you love me and you will never do things that are not good for me, right?"


    "Trust me, Charlie." He said again, "No one can hurt you again."


    Holding her majestic body hard, her face pressed against her fiery chest, Charlize listened to the vigorous and powerful heartbeat. Her past experience made her understand that now everything is hard-won, and how many people can meet the opportunity to rise to the top. To?


    As for some things, try to ignore them as much as possible. She has officially moved into Jenkins Manor and treats people around her with Ryan''s character. As long as he doesn''t take the initiative to leave, he will not drive himself away.


    Even... even if you try harder, you might become Mrs. Jenkins.


    Perhaps, after the filming of the film officially named "The Devil''s Head", he can take all the contraceptive measures. Judging from Ryan''s love of Taylor Swift, he should like children very much.


    Ryan now naturally can''t guess the idea of ??South African diamonds, after all, women''s minds are always complicated.


    Hollywood after the New Year is the busiest season of the year. On Hollywood Boulevard I randomly bumped into a guy in a suit and leather shoes, maybe he is the agent of a big star, but if you want to be in the awards season Actors or singers who have gained something understand the importance of public relations in advance.


    And other public relations companies whose business was extremely poor at other times have also ushered in the harvest season of the year. These companies, which are always inseparable from the big figures in Hollywood, can use a variety of options for money and guarantees to customers. Means, many of them are infinitely close to the bottom line of the college.


    In fact, many people who are familiar with the rules of Oscar operation sometimes say in private that ¡®no award is true and credible¡¯, ¡®everything has a price and compensation¡¯, ¡®in order to win, everything can be paid¡¯...


    However, no matter how much they say in private, when it is their turn to hope to win, their public relations enthusiasm is no less than that of anyone. The escalating public relations activities have completely changed the way the film is promoted during the awards season and become more Active and effective, it looks like a political campaign.


    In this Vanity Fair game, the rules behind it are full of controversy. Movies and characters are never the only criteria. Factors such as luck, popularity, and public relations will determine the awards at the end. (To be continued.

 Chapter 483： Those activities within the rules

    Attended the breakfast date with Steven Soderbergh, director of "Drug Network", had lunch with the two producers of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" Li Ang and Xu Ligong, and had an appointment with "Gladiator" in the evening. Director Ridley Scott and Harvey Weinstein have a drink together. After drinking, if the interest is not diminished, they can also find a place to hold a carnival party.


    This sounds like a fantastic schedule, but it''s just an ordinary day for a core Oscar judge during the awards season.


    Stars, food, comfortable surroundings, and pleasant conversations are just the''opener'' to win votes in the Oscar public relations event. Ambitious filmmakers know that these investments are meaningful because they have won the favor of the college and the judges. Nominations for works or even Oscars can bring great economic returns.


    The re-screening of the film, the sale and reprint of DVDs, the peripheral sales, and even the investment in other films of the company all seem to be a matter of course. This is the ¡®reputation¡¯ effect.


    In order to maintain the basic fairness, openness, and transparency of the Oscar brand, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences clearly stipulates that no bribery is allowed, that is, no gifts can be provided to members of the Academy in exchange for votes. However, this kind of thing has always been "You have a policy, I have Countermeasures'', cunning and wealthy producers, such as Ryan, can always find ways to avoid this ban.


    According to the regulations of the college, to register for the Oscar works, you must submit the review materials to the college¡¯s jury. In addition to the necessary copies and DVDs, "Gladiator" also includes the following items, four large format albums-introducing all aspects of the film- -A letter signed by Ryan and a Gladiator plate specially made from the Netherlands.


    These things are basically on the edge of gifts and premiums, which will undoubtedly increase the favor of the judges.


    What Ryan is doing here is fairly conservative. The producer of "Drug Network" simply mailed some of the judges the latest Sony player worth $149 with a built-in movie soundtrack. Once someone inquired, it could be argued that it was a tool for understanding movie-related information, and it did not break the rules.


    Whether it is a gift or a giveaway. Although the individual value is not high, mass posting of thousands of judges is not a small expense. Coupled with the media''s campaign funding, the cost of self-promotion for Oscar seeded contestants is actually a huge expense.


    Ryan remembers statistics in the past, during the awards season. **Film may spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for public relations, and the average cost of each movie of a large studio is millions of dollars, and in the case of fierce competition and determined to win, the producers sometimes spend a lot of money on publicity.


    For example, this time, for "Gladiator", Ryan simply dropped tens of millions of dollars in related expenses.


    These are fairly normal public relations activities. In the last few years of Ryan''s previous life, Oscar almost became a political campaign. The public relations party is far from being satisfied with only promoting himself, but at the same time as public relations for himself, he also used media statements to directly discredit his opponents.


    Because of his career, Ryan has some understanding of these in his previous life. The most typical is "The Hurt Locker" in 2010, when Megan Ellison, who was the producer at the time, used the influence of the family to attack the biggest competitor "Avatar" in the media and even wrote to Some members of the academy explicitly asked the other party not to vote for "Avatar".


    The last thing proved that her public relations at the time were extremely effective, and "The Hurt Locker" won a big win at the Oscars.


    However, this apparently excessive public relations behavior has also brought a series of evil consequences.


    Later, she invested in "Hunting". At the beginning of the awards season, there was a lot of momentum, but later encountered setbacks. First, dozens of core academies publicly stated that they did not like the film and would not vote for the film. Later, even members of Congress and the CIA were mixed. Came in. Not only will it issue a statement accusing the film of false depiction, but will also launch an investigation on "whether there is a leak."


    In the end, the film was very popular in the early stage and only received a technical award at the time of the awards. However, on the second day of the Oscars ceremony, the relevant agencies cancelled the investigation of the film.


    "Oscars are like a battlefield. They have to build momentum for themselves and fight each other. The public relations activities that last for several months from the beginning to the end are like canvassing votes for a presidential election, which is physically and mentally exhausting."


    This is Ryan¡¯s feelings when he ran for Nicole¡¯s best actress a few years ago, but today, he is no longer the Ryan Jenkins that year. Even if he is facing Oscar, he has the ability to switch from prey to hunter. qualifications.


    Standing in the highest place in Hollywood and looking down to watch the Oscars, you will better understand the importance of public relations and can always use various conditions to achieve the desired goals of public relations.


    As early as the promotion period of "Gladiator", Ryan organized three groups of public relations staff to be responsible for planning, two groups of Jenkins Films staff were responsible for planning the release and publicity matters, and a group of Jinsli''s subordinates was in Harvey. ? Under the unified coordination of Weinstein, he was responsible for Oscar public relations, and finally worked out corresponding strategies according to the personality and hobbies of the judges.


    The time when the Oscar nomination is about to be announced is undoubtedly the most critical moment for public relations. Ryan¡¯s firepower is on his side, and he vigorously portrays the image of "Gladiator", especially Maximus, as tall and humble in the media. Although the main creator has not made many public appearances, each appearance is as humble and courteous as a British gentleman and lady, giving the outside world a full impression.


    Sociologists and professionals from all walks of life also appeared to say that this movie and its protagonist became synonymous with freedom and responsibility. As time goes by, the box office number of "Gladiator" has been accumulating higher and higher, and it has been released for more than a month. The North American box office performance of nearly 200 million U.S. dollars is far behind other competitors.


    Regarding awards, Ryan will definitely give priority to ensuring that he can be nominated for the best actor, and get the tickets that can be competed first.


    "Ryan Jenkins is best at interpreting the complex world of human emotions. In "Gladiator", under the heavy and solid armor, you can still clearly see the gentle and emotional heart shown by Ryan. The sad eyes, **** wounds, and the sand falling from the fingers of the fingers are slowly transmitted to the hearts of every audience."


    "All of this in the film can only be done by real superstars. No wonder movie fans always compare Ryan with Marlon Brando and other screen predecessors. However, unlike other stars, Ryan is wise and full of character. Facing the reporter''s camera to express himself, but he often turns a blind eye and turns a deaf ear, does not follow fashion or advocating vanity, the role of interpretation is sometimes rough, firm, deep, and cold, sometimes relaxed, unrestrained, and free..."


    In the opening issue of Vanity Fair in 2001, you can see "Gladiator" everywhere, and Ryan''s acting skills are the focus of their advocacy.


    Of course, Ryan''s performance in recent years fully deserves these praises.


    The media public relations of the film is not just a process of putting relevant events in the newspapers, but also a huge operation. After years of running-in, Ryan''s team has a wealth of relevant experience, and the plans made are not careless. .


    In order to ensure success, Harvey Weinstein even spent a lot of money and directly hired the deputy manager of the Bush campaign team to help.


    In addition to the relevant DVD review materials mailed to the judges, Ryan asked to suppress 160,000 "Gladiator" DVDs and distributed them to the members of the film academy, making the film''s voice continue to rise.


    All of this, Ryan just wants to ensure that the possibility of winning is infinite. Although age is an irreversible disadvantage, he does not want to wait any longer. The main energy for the next two years must be placed on Disney. Performance continues to invest so much time as it has in the past few years.


    This is not accurate, because he intends to do a good job with all his strength, and the main audience is Disney. If Nicole, the heroine, can be fully fired, the effect is absolutely terrifying.


    Therefore, Ryan''s public relations methods are almost used to the limit.


    Even the shopping mall billboards near the college¡¯s location were leased by Jenkins Pictures. The wallpaper of the surrounding restaurants was replaced with "Gladiator" posters, ensuring that the members of the college who ate nearby were even covered in their meal time. Surrounded by Maximus.


    From start to finish, Ryan has been strictly guarding the vague bottom line. As long as he is not too exaggerated, with his current status, the academy will not easily make criticisms.


    You know, the public relations behind the Oscars has a long history, and it is not a secret to the national media and even some members of the public.


    In some ways, Oscar public relations, like political campaigns, represent the will of the campaign and the spirit of winning.


    Although there may be deviations in the application process, the lack of public relations shows that there is no even the most basic competitive posture. This will be regarded as an unqualified competitor in North America, which advocates free competition.


    Ryan also seized the last chance before the nomination was announced held several grand parties in Jenkins Manor, and several parties lasted until the early hours of the morning.


    Every public relations expert has his own public concern, but all winners have certain characteristics in common-use their own advantages and powers to the fullest within the rules!


    Of course, the quality of the film is the basis of all this, there is no doubt about it.


    Perhaps in the eyes of some real film artists, judging great art from a human perspective is too vulgar and subjective, but people are social animals, and this society is composed of one and another small circle, no matter what Which circle you are in must abide by the rules of this circle to a certain extent.


    Ryan has almost done the work he could do beforehand, and luck has become a factor that cannot be ignored at this time.


    Perhaps because of the new changes in the new century, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences postponed the official time for the Oscar nomination to February, and before the nomination, Ryan appeared at the Golden Globe awards ceremony.

 Chapter 484： Golden Globe Awards

    "Hello, Miss Sarandon. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test"


    Scarlett¡¯s voice came from one side, and when Ryan saw it, she was smiling and saying hello to the heroine Susan Sarandon, "Can we change seats?"


    "of course can."


    This is obviously a sensible person. After Ryan nodded to her, he took the initiative to change to Scarlett''s position at another table.


    Ryan had just said hello to Scarlett, and Sophia Coppola, who was sitting at the next table, also came to this table and sat beside Scarlett.


    "Ryan, it''s been a long time since I saw you." The famous female director smiled and beckoned here, "Thank you for the suggestion in the email."


    "You''re welcome." Ryan waved his hand indifferently, "Actually, Sophia, your idea is very mature, I just made a few trivial comments."


    "Hey, hello, hello..." Scarlett leaned to the table, "What are you talking about? Why don''t I understand."


    She has worked with Sophia Coppola and knows each other very well.


    "My new movie." Sophia Coppola explained a few words, "The script of the new movie, I exchanged some thoughts with Ryan in the mail, and I was inspired a lot."


    "Oh..." The girl nodded, "When will the shooting start?"


    "It''s estimated that it will take a while. My script has not yet been completed." Sophia Coppola suddenly looked over, "And I didn''t find a suitable investor. The film is going to be shot in Tokyo. I can''t afford the cost myself. ."


    "Sophia, I am very optimistic about this movie." Because I discussed the script with the other party, Ryan knew that the plot was almost the same as in the previous life, and immediately said, "I can invest in this film, but..."


    With the experience of "Death of the Virgin". Sophia Coppola immediately understood that this was a condition, and couldn''t help but said helplessly, "Ryan, what are your conditions?"


    "Same as last time." Ryan''s eyes fell on Scarlett.


    Sophia Coppola exaggerated. "It seems that we have a good understanding. The first candidate I thought of was also Scarlett."


    Unfortunately, the girl in this rebellious period has obviously diverted her energy. Natalie walked in from outside the banquet hall, she stood up and beckoned, beckoning her friend to come quickly.


    After a few people greeted Natalie, they sat down again. She asked in hindsight, "You seem to be discussing what role I should play? Isn''t it the type of Princess Mia?"


    "It''s Sophia''s new movie." Ryan knew that the current classmate Scarlett was still a literary girl. "The role is the type you like. If you have time, you can talk with Sophia."


    Scarlett Johansson clearly believed in Ryan, nodded directly, and said to Sophia Coppola, "I will have a yacht party in a few days. I will call you at that time and rest assured, it is an all-female party. , I have already borrowed Ryan¡¯s yacht."


    Talking. Still winking here, Ryan had no choice but to nod.


    This is the Golden Globe awards ceremony, and after a few small chats with Natalie, Sophia Coppola returned to his table.


    The red carpet outside was still going on, and a steady stream of stars walked into the banquet hall. Because there was no red carpet, Ryan came earlier, chatting with Natalie and Scarlett, and chatting with people who came near. Hello.


    "Nate, you bought a villa in North Hollywood." Scarlett made a nuisance on purpose. "Are you planning to settle in Hollywood?"


    "Scarlet..."


    During this period of time, Natalie has gradually recovered her calm, "Before graduating from Harvard, it was impossible for me to move here."


    "Then I will move here in the future?" Scarlett looked very happy. "After my birthday this year, I plan to move out of the house. It''s better to be neighbors. I can help you take care of the house when you are away. ."


    "Ryan has already greeted Lisa. Lisa will send someone to manage the villa." Natalie''s eyes swept across Ryan''s face, as calm as when she was a child, "If you can, you It¡¯s okay to move closer, we can still be company in the future."


    "I remember..." Ryan looked at Natalie and tapped his forehead lightly. "It seems that the previous villa is also on sale, Scarlett, let your agent ask about it."


    Most of the time, the two girls murmured together. The love they grew up together made the relationship between them far better than their previous lives. They can be said to be best friends who talk about everything.


    "Hey, ladies..."


    Seeing the lights on the front stage, Ryan gently buttoned the table, "Pay attention to your manners, the live broadcast is about to begin."


    The Golden Globe Awards are hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and are held in the form of a dinner. They are very important film and TV awards in North America. They were even dubbed the Oscar vane by some people in the past few years.


    Because nominations for the Golden Globe Awards are generally announced in mid-December, "Gladiator", which was only released before Christmas, naturally missed this award.


    In fact, Ryan doesn''t care much about this award. The so-called Oscar weather vane is just a weather vane, and it does not have much influence on the Oscar award.


    The most typical example is the awarding agency of the Golden Globe Awards. The inclusion of members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is not based on the qualifications and achievements of the members in the press. Members only need to publish four articles with remuneration every year. The only punishment for this requirement is to turn the member into a''cold-hold'' state.


    Many people in this association rely solely on pensions and do not rely on news to feed on. Among them, there are even some **10-year-olds. More than two-thirds of these so-called journalists are part-time. , Real estate, auto and insurance sales, etc., just occasionally write articles for small foreign publishers.


    It is conceivable whether the awards selected by more than 90 people will be affected in some way.


    The famous comedian Groucho Marks once said, "If the Hollywood Reporter Association really wants me to join, I don''t want it. Once I join them to participate in the Golden Globe Awards, my credit will plummet."


    In North America, the shady scenes of the Golden Globes are almost universally known, and some members openly admit that they will be more affected by small favors and flattery, regardless of the quality of the work itself.


    In recent years, the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association has also been working hard to reform the association¡¯s system, responding to external criticism, stipulating that gifts are now only allowed in champagne, bouquets, and movie accessories.


    However, the media is still not well-received, and many mainstream media even use "the judges of the Golden Globe Awards are basically stupid" to evaluate the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.


    Because "Gladiator" was not nominated, Ang Lee and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became the biggest winners in film awards tonight.


    "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the best foreign language film, best original music and best original song three awards, and Lee Ang won the best director.


    In terms of public relations about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Jenkins Films and Weinstein Films can be said to have won a lot.


    As for the performance award, this movie can be completely ignored.


    According to the weathervane, Ang Lee is very likely to get the best director of this year''s Oscar, but unfortunately, the bald head that still smiles brilliantly after losing the Golden Globes is the real hot spot.


    Even if there is no memory of previous life, according to the current state of Hollywood analysis, Ryan feels that even Ridley Scott is more likely to win the best director statue than Ang Lee.


    The Twin Towers have not yet collapsed, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not a work that attracts the support of a large group like "Brokeback Mountain".


    The awards were awarded one after another. Ryan knew almost nothing about TV dramas. Most of the TV stars who came to the stage to receive the awards were very strange to him.


    Soon, Ryan saw interested people. This year''s "American Idol" champion Kelly Clarkson, as the guest of honor, awarded the best actor in music and comedy.


    That''s right, this is the female singer who was taken away by Ryan. "American Idol" appeared early in this life. She also made her debut early. She still won the championship and successfully signed with the record company.


    In any case, she is the first champion of American Idol. Even for the future ratings of this show, Jenkins Pictures and Fox TV will make great efforts to support her. If she is willing to work hard, like her previous life. It is not impossible to become the most successful champion of American Idol.


    Then came the next award, which is why Ryan appeared here.


    "The best supporting actress in a musical comedy was..." Julia Roberts, who stood on the stage, read the name of the winner aloud, "Natalie Portman "The End of the Grass."


    "Congratulations, Nat!"


    Ryan was the first to give a hug, and Scarlett leaned over, "Wow, Nat, you won the prize."


    "thanks, thanks¡­¡­"


    Natalie unanimously thanked the director Pooh Wang and others When finally passing in front of Ryan, she loosened her lips that she had been pursing, and seemed to have thrown away all her scruples and took the initiative to lighten up with him. Gave a light hug.


    "Give me back my pendant, okay?" she said softly.


    Ryan didn''t say anything, just gave Natalie a relieved look.


    The only thing that has to do with him is completed, Ryan''s energy is obviously not on the stage, Natalie''s smile obviously increases, and Scarlett looks at the golden ball with some envy.


    "That''s right, Nat." She whispered while the camera was removed, "Our yacht party can be used as your celebration party."


    Seeing Ryan''s eyes shifting, Classmate Scarlett immediately said vigilantly, "Although I borrowed your yacht, Ryan, we will not invite you. This is an all-female party."


    "I didn''t say to participate either." Ryan shook his head. ()

 Chapter 485： Trivial work

    After the Golden Globes, it¡¯s time for media carnivals. As in the past, all kinds of criticisms continue to appear. Even each winner will be taken out by the media and put under a microscope for careful observation, and then the public relations and The shady conclusion, since the Golden Globes has been scolded for so many years, the media has long been a habit of scolding.


    In the past few decades, the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association has grown thick enough, even if there are some ugly things in it, they stay still.


    The award has already been awarded, and regardless of whether the jury is as stupid as the media described it, it will not take it back.


    Natalie and Scarlett Johansson called Sophia Coppola, Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore and Kristen Stewart and other good friends. They went to sea on vacation and held a female carnival party. Ryan resumed his busy work.


    The public relations work cannot be relaxed until the night of the Oscars. Even if the college stipulates that after the nomination list is announced, public relations parties and other activities are not allowed, but the work in private must not be relaxed at all, not to mention that the nomination list has not been announced yet.


    Of course, specific personnel are responsible for specific tasks, and Ryan only needs to control the general direction.


    "Hi, Charlie."


    On the way to the Fox studio, Ryan received a call from Charlize, "Did you see Hilby?"


    "Uh-huh~ a..." It seems that there is no suitable adjective. "Anyway, it''s a very special woman. I will stay here for a few days and talk to her a few times."


    "You can do it yourself, pay attention to safety."


    The two said something intimate, and Ryan hung up the phone.


    Just a few days before the Golden Globes, Charlize chose to leave Los Angeles to meet another important figure in the Devil''s case in order to prepare for future movies.


    Enter the Fox Studios. Ryan went directly to the crew of "Dark Angels of the End" and found James Cameron, who was being supervised. The two exchanged opinions on Cameron¡¯s upcoming deep-sea documentary for experimenting with new camera equipment. Walked into another studio.


    This small studio has been transformed into several airtight rooms, in which you can see the barbed wire, blood-stained blades and other props in American horror movies everywhere, and even many places have been set up as sophisticated killing organs. ...


    As long as someone with a little experience comes in, they will quickly come to the conclusion that this must be a traditional American horror film.


    When Ryan came in, the shooting was still going on. He stood quietly and looked at the three **** actors in front of the camera. This is the new movie made by Darren Bousman.


    After nearly a year of brewing for this movie, Jenkins Pictures officially approved the project in January. As the investment was only 2 million US dollars, after a short period of preparation, the film was filmed in Fox. The studio opened the curtain.


    Although only a few suggestions were given, after the script was completed. The film temporarily named "Born Murderer", in the eyes of Ryan, is already very close to "Chain Saw".


    If the name of the movie is not changed, the "Chain Saw" series should not appear after it is released.


    In fact, this is not too surprising. After all, Darren Bosman was the director of the later parts of this series in his previous life.


    However, after the filming was temporarily interrupted, Ryan saw the actor lying in the ketchup. It turned out to be Tobin? Bell...


    The world is more interesting than the movie.


    With so much emotion, he walked to the back of the camera and greeted the ¡®dumb quartet¡¯ in Taylor¡¯s mouth one by one.


    "Ketchup. More tomato sauce..."


    Chen Jiazheng spread his hands and said helplessly, "I have never seen so many ketchup since I was a child. I don''t think I will have any interest in this kind of food in the future."


    "Oh~ Dear Chen." Darren Bousman left the director''s chair, "When this movie is finished, you will be returning to China, and you won''t see such authentic ketchup by then."


    This film is the last work of these four people.


    "Chen, are you interested in working for the Chinese branch of Jenkins Pictures?"


    In the past ten years, Ryan has been sparing no effort to develop the Chinese market. Jenkins Pictures is also the first Hollywood film company to set up related offices in China besides Paramount.


    "Chen''s ideal is to make movies." David interjected, "I don''t think Jenkins Pictures has the qualifications to produce and distribute movies in China?"


    "Okay." Ryan patted Chen Jiazheng''s arm, "If you have financial problems, you can go to the branch office or call me directly."


    What he can help is funding. If he arbitrarily reaches out to the opposing media industry, the relationships and advantages he has established over the years may be vanished.


    Although Darren Bousman can only be regarded as a newcomer among newcomer directors, he has a deep research on traditional American horror films. With the assistance of the other three people, the filming of the film is fairly smooth. As for the investment of 2 million yuan. It will take a while to see if it will be sold at a small cost in US dollars.


    After having lunch here, Ryan came to the office of the "American Idol" program group set up on the set. After the confluence faction? Kingsley and the attorney Wilson Jr., represented the individual with Jenkins Pictures and Fox TV after signing "American Idol". Period of licensing agreement.


    That''s right, the copyright of this program is firmly held in his own hands, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a chicken that can lay golden eggs.


    Only for the first time last year, Ryan received nearly 50 million U.S. dollars in after-tax shares through this show.


    Last year¡¯s talent show, in the second half of the show, completely caused a sensation in North America. It once occupied the top spot in the ratings of major TV stations. It only received more than 500 million U.S. dollars in advertising expenses, and won the top few. The players became popular in North America almost instantly.


    Kelly Clarkson, in particular, made a big splash in the homecoming trip held before the finals.


    From the moment she got off the plane, there was a live broadcast on TV. After she went home to meet her family, she held a grand parade with her family and held a canvassing concert in her hometown of Worth, Texas. The mayor of Worth also gave it to her. Honorary citizen key, and the return home day will be named after Kelly Clarkson throughout the city.


    This kind of treatment can almost only be enjoyed by a super singer of Madonna''s level.


    This shows how big a sensation "American Idol" is. This is the first edition, and Kelly Clarkson has won a $100 record contract. The first solo album will definitely be in the second edition. It is conceivable how many people can be attracted to participate when it is listed when the promotion is started.


    The popularity of this show immediately attracted attention from across the Atlantic. At the end of last year, Ryan''s team concluded negotiations with the British. A British production company paid 45 million U.S. dollars plus 15% per year. The conditions for the sharing were obtained the copyright of "American Idol" in the UK.


    In addition to the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and several countries in the Far East are currently in contact with Ryan. If nothing else, it can bring a lot of income in the future.


    You know, when planning this show, Ryan asked his staff to register all over the world.


    In some ways, Kelly Clarkson is a lucky one. Even for the brand image, Ryan will spend great effort to praise her. After becoming a top-notch singer, she is the living signature of "American Idol". .


    "American Idol" has become the most watched program of Fox TV. Such a trump card can easily drive the income of the entire TV station. The continuous cooperation has also made News Corporation''s attitude further closer to Ryan.


    Interest is the best tool to win the alliance.


    Entering the end of January, the Delaware Court of Justice held a press conference on the case of Disney shareholders suing Michael Eisner and other board members, and announced that the first round of cross-examination would be conducted as soon as possible. This case, which can be called Disney internal strife, once again aroused The attention of public opinion.


    The Wilson Law Firm, according to Ryan''s intention, bit the Mark Morik screenwriter, obviously wanting to use a protracted lawsuit, from time to energy to money and other aspects, completely draining the other party.


    Even if this is the so-called "human rights" society, even if it is strictly abiding by the legal terms, the rich have too many ways to toss against the opponents of the same level.


    Hollywood is still that Hollywood, drunken gold fans and gossip scandals are still the themes of this circle, especially the Oscar nominations are about to be announced, this world''s most prosperous Vanity Fair will usher in a feast of fame and fortune.


    In the midst of disturbances, Ryan sent Natalie away. Although the two have not fully recovered their previous rhythm, as the Long Island Girl bought a mansion in Los Angeles, her heart seemed to gradually calm down. Down.


    "I... Bring it for you?" In the VIP room, Ryan was holding a sun-shaped pendant that was refurbished into a smiling face.


    Natalie didn''t speak, she straightened up her long brown curly hair, exposing her slender neck, just like before, Ryan carefully buckled the pendant between Natalie''s neck.


    "Nat, you will always be the unique Natalie in my heart." Ryan kissed her ear beads softly, "Matilda is just a fictional character in the movie."


    Turning around, Natalie looked at the pair of sky-blue eyes and was silent for a moment, her face slowly pressed against his chest.


    Around the girl''s slender waist, Ryan and Natalie hugged each other quietly until she left the city of angels.


    It seems that I should order a few more planes?


    This is what Ryan thought when he saw his private plane flying on the route to Boston, and then notified George and placed orders directly with Gulfstream and Boeing. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 486： Movies have to be confident about the box office

    For high-level Hollywood figures like Ryan, the Oscar nominee list has just been confirmed and has not been officially announced, and relevant news can be obtained. As a result, the Oscar nominees luncheon loses its mystery and appeal, and becomes more accessible. Dispensable.


    In fact, he didn''t attend the nominee luncheon much.


    However, for most entertainment media, the Oscar nominees luncheon is definitely a highlight before the Oscars ceremony.


    On February 7, the Nomination Luncheon for the 73rd Academy Awards was held on time at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. As before, Jinsli attended the banquet as Ryan''s representative.


    As for the nomination list, it was sent to Ryan by the relevant personnel long before the luncheon.


    Seeing this list, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. Judging from the distribution of nominations, the PR effect this time was extremely good.


    "Gladiator" became the biggest winner in this nomination list, including best film, best director, best soundtrack, best photography, best visual effects, best costume design, best adapted screenplay, and best Twelve nominations including excellent supporting actor and best actor.


    Another major public relations drama "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is equally extraordinary. It has received ten nominations including best film, best director, best soundtrack, best foreign language film and best original song. It is worthy of a Chinese-language movie. Said to be an unprecedented victory.


    In order to concentrate superior resources and guarantee the chances of winning the two films, Ryan restricted the Oscar competition for other films of Jenkins Pictures, such as "The Matrix 2: Reloading" and other films that are likely to receive technical awards. He didn''t even report his name.


    After all, resources are limited, so integration is worse than decentralization.


    After the nomination list was announced, the media and the public focused their attention on "Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Ryan''s team will not let go of the opportunity to continue to promote it. There are more and more media reports on "Gladiator", and even many ¡®professional¡¯ people believe that this film has won twelve nominations. Will become another Titanic rampage on the Oscar. It is expected that more than ten statuettes will be won.


    Among them, there are countless remarks about Ryan being nominated for the best actor Oscar for five consecutive times, and whether he can get the Golden Man.


    ¡°The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has always claimed to be rejuvenating. Now 21-year-old Ryan Jenkins has been nominated for five consecutive best actor, what kind of choice should they make?¡±


    "We have been opposing all kinds of discrimination for a long time. Should we include contempt for young people?"


    These voices are extremely subtle reminders of the Oscar judges. You owe someone a golden man for the best actor.


    In addition, Ryan¡¯s fans have also launched support activities on the Internet. Even the most famous female fan organization in the Upper East Side of New York publicly claimed that they would drive across the United States before the Oscars ceremony to collect signatures from supporters. So that when you arrive in Los Angeles. Give Ryan the greatest support.


    Ryan''s management team is also secretly guiding the fans'' comments, otherwise there will be any excessive behavior at this time, which will not do him any good.


    The most direct effect of getting twelve Oscar nominations. (Pingnan Literature Network) It is that "Gladiator" ushered in a huge rebound in the box office. From the day the nomination was announced, the number of theaters has increased to more than 3,000, and the box office in North America has been close to 30 million for two consecutive weeks. The U.S. dollar made North America¡¯s box office surpassed the 250 million U.S. dollar mark in one fell swoop, leading the way among all Oscar-nominated films.


    Similarly, the ten nominations are a huge stimulus to the North American box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". After a long period of screening, the film''s North American box office finally exceeded 100 million, and the Oscar effect has just begun.


    Even if the award ceremony has not yet been held, the ten Oscar nominations for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" still made a sensation in the entire Chinese world, because this film can be regarded as the result of cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Some mainstream media on the other side of the Pacific sent relevant information in advance. The interview team came to Los Angeles.


    It''s no secret that Ryan is the biggest investor in this movie, and this movie is marked with a distinctive certain island production mark, and it will not trigger dissent from the mainstream society.


    The result of this is that a TV channel starting with c asked Jinsli to interview him.


    "Reject it, Pat." After receiving the call from the agent''s lady, Ryan turned it down without even thinking about it.


    This is not after next year, in his current status, accepting interviews from the top official media on the other side, if the other side''s report is out of context, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.


    As for the professional ethics of the media...


    "Aren''t you actively exploring the film market over there?" Charlize Theron, who was sitting across from him, was very puzzled. "Why reject the most influential media interviews over there?"


    "My dear..." Across the tea table, Ryan lightly squeezed her increasingly plump face, "There is a completely different country, and the relationship between the two sides of the ocean has always been bad. Although I hate politics, But maintaining basic political correctness is our choice."


    "Just think about these complicated questions." Charlize leaned over, kissed Ryan lightly, and walked to the villa with the script, "I can''t finish talking with you. I''d better study the role alone. ."


    This can only be regarded as a small episode. In the current entertainment industry, the news about Oscars is the highlight. Although it is impossible to hold a public relations party, the various propaganda offensives have not slowed down at all. Some people even hire gunmen to publish offensives. Remarks against the main competitors.


    The new century has begun, the information age is approaching, and the bottom line of public relations is getting lower and lower.


    As the biggest favorite of this year''s Oscars, "Gladiator" is undoubtedly the biggest goal and the focus of criticism.


    In particular, some critics who are full of literary and artistic styles feel uncomfortable when they see the production cost of "Gladiator" as high as 100 million U.S. dollars and the current North American box office of more than 200 million U.S. dollars.


    ""Gladiator" is actually very similar to "Brave Heart". The brave and invincible male protagonist bears a deep hatred. After a series of setbacks, he finally moves from the edge to the center of power to defeat the people in power, and finally sacrifices heroically. To "What''s the difference? This is just a bad imitation!"


    "Anyway, regardless of the background, the cold weapons are replaced with modern high-tech weapons. What is the difference between "Gladiator" and those popcorn movies of Hollywood personal heroism? Superman, Batman, X-Men, etc. Wait... not all have a miserable life experience and a beautiful chick who defeats evil forces and wins. The only difference is that the superheroes are not dead, because they still have to save the next episode..."


    "This movie is just a product of the Hollywood assembly line. Apart from the so-called big investment and large production and high box office, what is worth touting? The box office of more than 200 million US dollars is indeed top of the list of all Oscar-nominated films, but Box office has never been a measure of the success of a movie."


    "Oscar is a symbol of the highest honor in Hollywood movies. Artistry is the only pursuit. In the final analysis, the only criterion for testing movies is art. What is the artistry of "Gladiator"? If such a movie can also win several Oscars , I have to say that this is the sorrow of Oscar, the sorrow of Hollywood!"


    "The art of film is definitely one of the greatest inventions of mankind. The birth of film is also for the service of art. It is with art that the film shows its glory today. Money and box office are just the most inconspicuous of the film. It''s just a corner. In the face of art, we should be ashamed to talk about the box office of movies, and we should be ashamed of talking about the box office of movies!"


    As soon as this kind of remarks came out, they were supported by many film critics who sought after ** movies and literary niche films, and their criticized remarks began to flood the media.


    If it were in the past, Ryan would only perform as a group of clowns and would throw it aside. But now is the stage where the Oscar voting is coming. If this voice is strengthened, it will undoubtedly bring a lot of unexpected for himself. Variety.


    Soon, an anonymous article he personally wrote appeared on the important page of the Los Angeles Times, one of the three major newspapers.


    The name of the article is very eye-catching-"Movies must be confident about the box office! ¡·


    Ryan first refuted some points of view Is the birth of the film to serve art? In fact, people in the industry understand that the film was originally born as a form of entertainment! Besides, there is only one criterion for measuring the success of a movie, and that is the audience''s approval! These audiences include Hollywood industry insiders, professional judges from the academy, and the public in North America. A movie that can be recognized by most of them is a good movie, and such a movie must perform well at the box office! "


    ¡°As for being ashamed to talk about the box office, it¡¯s just a joke. When movies appear in theaters, the box office is an important measure. Of course, if you make a movie just for your own appreciation, then the box office doesn¡¯t really matter, but the number of movies like this How many have appeared in the past ten years? Has one of them been outstanding?"


    "A publicly released film should talk about the box office frankly. I heard that the film quality is not good, which may be a box office poison; but I didn''t expect that now "Gladiator" has a good box office, but it has become a film quality poison."


    "This is really a kind of weird logic-box office and movie quality may not be in direct proportion, nor is there a phenomenon where bad movies win the box office, but it will not fall to the point of opposition. Moreover, how can movies not talk about the box office? How can you be ashamed to talk about the box office? Movies should talk about the box office with confidence, and movies that don''t talk about the box office are hooligans...)

 Chapter 487： Tacit understanding

    Movies are about talking about the box office frankly. Why is it necessary to be ashamed? Ryan has never felt that film is separated from business and money, and can become a popular entertainment method around the world as it is now, and his article also does not shy away from this point.


    "Film must talk about the box office. This is determined by the nature of the film. In the final analysis, film is just a cultural product that is governed by the principle of cost-benefit and meets the entertainment needs of consumers."


    "Why should investors invest in a movie? Of course, it is to make money, but also to make the most money. The film is not made for self-appreciation, but to face the market and strive for the largest audience and the greatest influence. Of course, the result must be reflected in the box office. "


    "Some of the recent remarks deliberately oppose the literary film and the commercial film. It seems that the literary film is contaminated with money and it is unbearable, and it loses the feeling of lofty. This is simply coy. Let me ask the back of every publicly-released literary film. The producer, really doesn¡¯t care about the box office?"


    "As for the phenomenon of''bad movies win the box office'', it is more necessary for movies to have the courage to talk about the box office. The more''bad movies win the box office'', the more you need to use good movies to win the box office. The reason why bad movies win the box office is not because bad movies are bad enough. , But because there are too few good movies, Hollywood needs a win-win movie like "Gladiator" at the box office and word of mouth to win the entire world film market for us!"


    "Therefore, we should not focus narrowly on the disputes over money and art, and use the big-selling movies to expand the influence of Oscars and Hollywood, so as to win us the audience of the whole world. This is the first focus of the filmmakers. !"


    It¡¯s too easy for Ryan, who has experience in the previous life, to go online. He faintly compared "Gladiator" to Hollywood¡¯s assault film in the world, and contributed a huge overseas market. But the common interest of the whole Hollywood lies.


    This anonymous article is like a charge. Once it was published, many media outlets successively issued consensual remarks. After all, this is Hollywood, where business is the most important place. Money and box office were originally the greatest interests pursued by the film industry.


    Art is also a banner advertised by some people. What Ryan didn¡¯t expect was that after the publication of "Movies Must Be Confidently at the Box Office", it triggered a controversy about art and commerce across the United States. Although this controversy The duration is not long, but the scale spread rapidly, and even Fleet Street, which has always liked to join in on the other side of the Atlantic, has joined it.


    However, the topic has gradually deviated from "Gladiator". To a certain extent, Ryan has achieved his goal.


    The topic of Oscar nomination has just cooled down. This controversy has undoubtedly provided the media with an opportunity for hype. Even several of the most famous talk shows have discussed related topics. As for this kind of one hundred years, it may not be possible. The media doesn''t care about whether the result of the argument is meaningful or not. What they care about is whether they can profit from it.


    Valentine''s Day is coming soon. This holiday is undoubtedly the best time for a love movie to be released. At the premiere of "Man Hundred Percent", Ryan met the long-lost Nicole Kidman, and she was talking and laughing in front of others. When he looked at him, he still had a cold face.


    However, the little blond girl she was holding in her hands quickly found her. Taylor had just finished her study career in London and returned to Los Angeles.


    "You are still the same?"


    The little girl who used to be naughty and mischievous has gradually grown up. Although she still plays nonsense most of the time, she has become a lot more sensible, "Is there anything I need to do?"


    "My dear, you just need to stand aside and watch." Ryan rubbed the girl''s curls fondly, and took her hand again, "There are things you shouldn''t know about."


    Although he grew up a little bit, Tyler was still a girl, and some of the silent understanding between him and Nicole shouldn''t be known to her big mouth.


    "After returning to Los Angeles, I found it was so boring."


    Taylor followed Ryan to a quiet corner, complaining about the recent boring life, "When I was in London, at least Emma was with me, now? Christine went to film a new scene, Nat Yuan At Harvard, Nicole¡¯s newly-accepted goddaughter is still a naughty bag who can only cry. Even the fat girl Scarlett went to Europe to film "The Princess Diaries"..."


    "Oh, God." She covered her forehead like Nicole. "Scarlett Johansson can become a princess. It''s incredible..."


    "Okay, dear." Ryan knew she was just complaining to herself on purpose, "If you are bored, you can come to me anytime."


    This is the Valentine''s Day highlight event jointly launched by Jenkins Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox. The premiere attracted many celebrities. When Paris Hilton walked into the theater, Taylor immediately found suitable playmates. These two The guys who like to make trouble, sometimes there are many common topics.


    Not long after it was quiet, Drew brought a black-haired girl who was only five feet long.


    "Ryan..." Drew was not polite to him, pointing to the second floor, "I need your help for something, let''s go to the upstairs lounge to talk."


    "Hi, Ryan."


    Shaking the hand extended by the black-haired girl, Ryan greeted the girl star who became famous at the same time, "Hello, Christine"


    Although they are not familiar with each other, they are not unfamiliar. Christina Rich is one of the child stars who became famous at the same time.


    Turning around the corner on the second floor, because Drew obviously had something to talk about, Ryan deliberately chose a lounge in the back, so that there is no need to worry about other people being disturbed.


    After entering the lounge and sitting down, Ryan looked directly at Drew, and she looked at Christina Rich and said, "Ryan, Christine just participated in the audition for the "Devil Head" you invested in. Yes¡­¡­"


    "Hilby." Christina Rich took over.


    Ryan was still looking at Drew, seeing her blinking and saying, "Christine, as long as there is no problem with the audition."


    They are all people who have been in Hollywood for more than ten years. Some things needless to say are too direct. Christina Ritchie understands that as long as she can reach above the level during the audition, this role should be her own.


    After thanking Ryan and Drew, seeing that the two had no intention of leaving, Christina Ricci hurriedly left.


    "When are you willing to help others?" Ryan ran on purposely because they were all old friends.


    "In 1989, Christine and I met." Drew smiled, seemingly not serious, "There are always some friendships from my childhood."


    "Didn''t you say that the friends you made when you were young are sometimes more precious." She added.


    "Okay, Drew." Ryan knew that she must have something to pull herself to the second floor. "Just say something directly."


    "Just yesterday." Drew looked back at the closed door subconsciously. "The people from Disney contacted me and wanted to buy the Pixar share in my hand."


    "Do you have Pixar shares?" Ryan couldn''t help but wonder.


    "Ah... that''s it." Drew explained with a smile, "This was bought when Pixar first went public in 1995, and it was only 0.4%."


    "I didn''t expect you to believe in Pixar so much." Ryan joked.


    "I don''t believe in Pixar." Drew held up the baby face with his hand. "I believe in your eyes. Later, I bought Blizzard Entertainment stock. I am planning to invest in Blue Sky Studio next month."


    Then, the playfulness on her face disappeared, and she said very solemnly, "Ryan, they must have been in contact with other Pixar shareholders. I heard that you and Pixar''s management are now in conflict..."


    "It''s just some differences in work." Ryan lowered his eyes. "It''s not too sharp a contradiction."


    Disney''s actions are not concealed. This kind of acquisition depends more on strength and opportunity, and they have obviously not made any effort yet.


    "Be careful with Disney and Michael Eisner." Drew shook Ryan''s hand firmly, "I don''t want to see my friend being kicked out of Hollywood."


    Ryan smiled and nodded. After Drew Barrymore walked out, he slowly walked outside the door.


    Who was kicked out of Hollywood, and how can it be known until the last minute?


    Just stepping out of the lounge, a slight sound of high heels falling from the corner was heard, and then Ryan''s eyelids were reflected in the red long hair and unusually tall figure.


    When there were five feet, Nicole Kidman suddenly stopped opposite.


    She looked at Ryan coldly, without any expression on her face, only the pair of beating pale blue eyes, showing that her heart is definitely not as calm as her appearance.


    "Nicole..."


    Ryan had just stepped out and heard the soft, cold voice of the Australian girl, "I''m still angry."


    Spreading his hands, Ryan slowly walked closer, and Nicole''s voice was as subtle as it was squeezing through his teeth, "Are you sure you want to do this? Aren''t you afraid that I will drag you into hell?"


    "I believe you."


    "But I don''t believe you Hearing this, Ryan scratched his head helplessly, but Ni may say so, that at least she has gotten rid of her anger and hysteria.


    "With billions of dollars worth of net worth, let me dispel my anger. Should I be moved, Ryan?" Her face almost reached Ryan''s eyes. "Unexpectedly, I not only taught a bastard, but also taught me. A fool!"


    "Nicole, it''s more than that." Ryan believed she could understand her intentions.


    "From today, don''t meet me, and George..."


    As she said, she glanced at the bodyguard who was guarding the corner, turned and left, "If we disappear even the most basic understanding, there will be no need to see you again in the future."


    Although he wanted to catch up, Ryan knew that for the future, staying here was the wisest choice.


    After the movie started, Ryan walked down to the second floor. Even when he entered the theater, his eyes were not placed on the big screen. Now everything is gradually on track, just waiting for the opportunity to come. rs()

 Chapter 488： Acting

    As the time entered March, "Monsters Electric Company" successively dropped from the major theaters in North America, and the final North American box office stayed at a figure of 308 million U.S. dollars, becoming the second North American film to exceed 300 million U.S. dollars in 2000. , And the global box office accumulation has exceeded 500 million US dollars. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    In the envy and admiration of countless people, Pixar''s market value has gradually approached 7 billion U.S. dollars, once again becoming the focus of financial and entertainment media.


    However, some media suddenly broke the news. Among them, the contradiction between Pixar''s top management that has been faintly circulating recently has become the focus.


    Even USA Today interviewed a manager who had just left Pixar.


    "After "Toy Story 2", many viewers are waiting for the news of "Toy Story 3." Pixar Studio has cultivated a large number of loyal supporters for itself with continuous excellent works. These people also believe that "Toys "Story 3" will be the same as "Toy Story 2", completely surpassing the previous one."


    "However, this kind of waiting may be delayed indefinitely due to the decision of Pixar''s senior management...Rich Darinois, who has just resigned from Pixar, revealed some inside information about Pixar to this newspaper. The following content comes from him. Transcript of the interview."


    "As early as last year when "Monsters Electric Company" was just released, John Lasseter, one of the founders of Pixar, wrapped his arms around the necks of me and Andrew Stanton in his office and shouted loudly. ,''It''s time to start the third episode of "Toy Story"! Hey, let''s start doing it now!''"


    "In the following month, the central point of our discussion was "Toy Story 3". This series realized the dream of Pixar Studios. We all want it to continue, but now we have to stop the project. "Toy Story" "3" was opposed by the studio¡¯s largest shareholder."


    "Yes, this person is Ryan Jenkins, and his new project for Pixar Studio is "Finding Nemo", which is his story centered on the sea and the clownfish. For this reason, Pixar had to change his mind. To realize his new idea."


    "I admit that the Pixar studio can have its current brilliance. Ryan Jenkins has played a role that cannot be ignored, but these roles are more supported by the story and funding. In fact, all the top management of Pixar have a consensus. Computer animation is too unprofessional. None of the relevant suggestions is reliable."


    "Is there any conflict between Ryan and Pixar¡¯s management? The answer is yes. At first, he promised not to directly interfere with Pixar¡¯s daily operations. The capital of the company was introduced into Pixar Studios, which led to a significant decline in management¡¯s shareholding ratio. Also, this new animated feature film project has caused dissatisfaction among the majority of management.


    "The Pixar studio now has 600 employees and can produce two animated feature films at the same time. What is needed is a modern management system. The two sides are looking for common ground to ease the relationship between each other. For this reason, Ryan Jenkins agreed to one. A new project called "The Superman Family", but if he does not control the swelling desire for power, Pixar''s top management will surely split..."


    Later, when Ryan went to Jenkins Pictures, he was blocked by reporters. His answer was as general and formulaic as most people expected, "We have differences on the new animated feature film project. This is limited to work..."


    Not long after, John Lasseter, one of the core members of Pixar, was also asked these questions by reporters.


    "The Pixar studio can have today, Ryan''s support is very important."


    After he finished speaking, he vaguely expressed his dissatisfaction, "I hope Ryan can continue to support our work as in the past."


    What are the interviewees¡¯ words sometimes interpreted by the media? Many people in Hollywood must have a personal experience. If a huge pusher is added behind the scenes, it will definitely develop in an uncontrolled direction.


    "The conflicts between Pixar''s controlling party and management are acute, and the future faces great uncertainty..."


    "The rising animation giants are likely to be destroyed by civil strife!"


    "Ryan Jenkins is evolving into a tyrant of power. Under his inflated sex, Pixar Studio may become a victim."


    A large number of comments that are not conducive to the Pixar studio have appeared on the pages of many media, and these comments have brought the most direct adverse reaction, which is reflected in the stock market.


    Pixar¡¯s stock stopped its upward momentum since the release of "Monsters Electric Company" and fell. In just five days, its market value has evaporated by more than half a billion U.S. dollars. The market value of Pixar, which was infinitely close to seven billion U.S. dollars, has returned to sixty. Less than US$500 million.


    "You must do everything possible to lower Pixar''s stock price!"


    This is an order from a luxurious office in the Disney headquarters building.


    Then, the person who gave the order left Burbank and flew directly to Australia by plane. His destination was Sydney.


    ...


    Compared to California, South Wales, Australia has huge advantages in taxation and labor costs, attracting many Hollywood crews to shoot here, and studios in the suburbs of Sydney have become a busy place.


    Nicole is too familiar with this place. Sydney is not only her hometown. She also filmed the "The Matrix" series here a few years ago. Standing in the studio where the "The Matrix" was filmed, the opposite became the last century. The magnificence and luxury of Paris in the early days were corrupted.


    Back in the dressing room, with the assistance of several assistants, Nicole took off the wig first, then took off the complicated clothes of the showgirl, and changed back to the dress she always liked. Then surrounded by bodyguards, she left the set and took off. The car went directly to a famous restaurant in downtown Sydney.


    Entering the agreed private room, the light blue eyes became thin and long, and the person who greeted him was very familiar. Strictly speaking, he used to be a very pleasant partner.


    "Hello, Michael."


    Gently squeezed the other hand''s stretched hand, Nicole sat down, with no expression on her pale face, "I didn''t expect you to come to Sydney in person."


    "It should be."


    There were only two people left in the private room. Michael Eisner said directly, "Nicole, I''m here on behalf of Disney''s greatest sincerity."


    "Sincere?"


    Nicole¡¯s mouth was lightly sarcasm, ¡°The recent decline in Pixar¡¯s stock price has nothing to do with you, right? I have not felt your sincerity. It is an indisputable fact that the stock in my hands has shrunk by 60 million US dollars.¡±


    She seems to have a natural pursuit of profit, just like all the rich.


    "This is just a normal business method." Michael Eisner''s eyes moved. The woman opposite, regardless of her wealth or status, has the qualifications to sit on an equal footing with him and to bargain. "If we can cooperate, the benefits will be completely okay. Make up for your current loss."


    His people have been in contact with each other several times, and from the beginning they refused without hesitation. Now there is room for discussion. The position of this woman is obviously changing with the changes in some aspects of Ryan Jenkins.


    Of course, as a figure in charge of Disney for decades, Michael Eisner understands that interest is the best tool to move people.


    "Nicole, how are you thinking?" The two parties had talked in private several times, so he asked directly.


    "I...why do I want to work with you?" Nicole''s right hand slowly turned the coffee cup on the tray, and her long red eyebrows were slightly raised. "If Disney annexes Pixar, you can re-establish your position, and even... "


    Needless to say, some words are too clear, her eyes swept across the opponent''s face, and she slowly said, "What''s the advantage of me?"


    "Natalie Portman and Charlize Theron..."


    Hearing these two names, Nicole''s pale face instantly turned sickly white, and the hand on the table was clenched tightly, and the long red nails almost disappeared into the palm of her hand.


    "Don''t pretend these two names in front of me! There is another name!" The voice was cold, with a trembling that was not easily noticeable, "Also, Michael, if you want to continue talking, let your people Keep your mouth shut forever!"


    "I swear!"


    Those who are not known are sometimes more effective when held in the hands. This is something that Michael Eisner only wanted to understand later.


    "I only have less than 15% of the shares in my hand." Nicole''s face was ugly, and it seemed to be a little crazy.


    "The rest of the work Disney will do." Michael Eisner seemed extremely confident, and Pixar''s management must have had a problem. "You only need to agree to Disney''s acquisition plan at the Pixar shareholder meeting in June. "


    "Acquisition?" Nicole put a hint of mockery on her face, "Pixar has a market value of more than six billion U.S. dollars. If you want the remaining minority shareholders to change the shares in their hands, it is impossible without a seven billion U.S. dollar bid. uukanshu.com Can Disney come up with or raise seven billion US dollars in a short period of time?"


    "Furthermore, I am not short of money."


    Regardless of the fact that Disney¡¯s current market value has reached 36 billion U.S. dollars, even if half of the price is 3.5 billion U.S. dollars in the short term, its capital chain may be broken, causing a crisis for the entire group.


    Michael Eisner is still full of confidence. He has led mergers and acquisitions of TV networks and knows how to swallow a listed company.


    "At present, Disney is raising funds. This is a long-term plan." Whether it is his expression or what he says, he appears very sincere. "If you are willing to promote, we will adopt a cash transaction plus stock swap."


    "I am not interested in cash. You should know that I am not short of this money."


    Those slender and long eyes suddenly widened, with unconcealed ambitions in them, "Exchange my Pixar shares for Disney shares, and then..."


    She stood up, "I want a position as a Disney director!" ()

    "I think Sid''s design is very good. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test"


    Sitting on the lounge chair in the billiard room, Charlize looked at the two people, one big and one small, who played snooker, discussing with Taylor the animated feature film that he had watched the other day together, "It can be regarded as a lucky player in the trio. And it¡¯s funny too."


    "I don''t like that sloth."


    Holding the cue, seeing Ryan hit the black ball into the bottom pocket again, Taylor puffed his mouth and said, "That guy is very enthusiastic, but his strength is too limited. Every time something goes wrong, friends help him to finish it. The biggest He¡¯s just nagging, sometimes annoying..."


    "My dear, it''s your turn."


    Ryan left the table, but it was a pity that Miss Swift¡¯s skills were really mediocre. She only took two shots and gave up her position. She and Charlize continued the topic, ¡°Also, the sloth feels so good about herself. I was speechless about its behavior. I obviously didn''t have the ability to take care of children, so I had to enthusiastically join in and help."


    "let me guess¡­¡­"


    After hitting the red ball, Ryan looked up, "That should be the furry Manny?"


    "I don''t like that mammoth." The little girl stuck out her tongue mischievously.


    "Why?" Charlize Theron asked curiously, "It is said that this character is the most popular with girls."


    "It''s so ugly." Taylor suddenly took off his short jacket. Inside was a long-sleeved shirt. The long-nosed squirrel behind it was very eye-catching. "Squirrel is my favorite, although it has no lines, but Hey Haw looks so cute."


    After receiving the short jacket thrown by the girl, Charlize packed it carefully, and said to Ryan, "Taylor''s words reminded me of some comments I saw on the Internet yesterday."


    "Is that okay to talk about?"


    After getting acquainted with each other, Taylor''s attitude towards Charlize was obviously much better.


    "A lamp made Pixar, and a squirrel made Blue Sky Studio."


    Hear what Charlize said. After sweeping the table, Ryan joked, "I also saw some other comments...Well, three male animals escorted a little baby home all the way, it''s a **** movie..."


    "Ryan!" Charlize interrupted him. Tyler motioned with his eyes.


    Put down the cue. Ryan walked up to Taylor, "Continue?"


    "No more." Taylor shook the golden curls on his head vigorously. "I have lost three games in a row and don''t want to fight anymore."


    After that, she was the first to walk out of the billiard room.


    When Ryan and Charlize followed and entered the lobby on the first floor. Tyler was holding Lisa, wanting to eat the baked muffins she made by herself.


    After Lisa nodded helplessly, she yelled in excitement again, she didn''t look like a lady in front of outsiders at all.


    "Lisa, I will release a record in the future, and I will definitely write a song for you." Tyler shouted toward the kitchen, "Write a song that can be popular in the United States."


    then. She jumped onto the solo sofa opposite Ryan and muttered, "I just don''t know when I can release the record."


    "You really want to be a singer?" Charlize sat next to Ryan when he brought a glass of milk for the little girl. "That would be very tiring."


    "This is my dream." Taylor said while biting his straw, shaking his upper body, "I like to write songs, like to sing, like the stage, and like music."


    "Want to release a record?" Ryan glanced at her, and Taylor nodded his head very seriously, "I can''t wait, I''m far behind the tomboy and the chubby girl."


    "Tomboy and fat girl?" Charlize was a little confused.


    "Kristen Stewart and Scarlett Johansson." Ryan explained briefly, and pointed to the position of his throat. "Alison, it won''t be long before you will enter the voice change period. We have to wait for you. The vocal cords are fixed."


    "All right, then all right." The little girl understood that this was for her future. She drank the milk in the cup and jumped over to Charlize. "Charlie, I''m going to see Brigo, and stay with me. ?"


    As she said, she looked at the grandfather clock on the side and murmured in dissatisfaction, "This guy Ryan is about to start working again. The two of us are going to ride a horse."


    "That''s good." Charlize followed her and walked to the locker room. "Let''s change our riding clothes."


    Seeing the two people disappearing in the living room, Ryan walked towards the study. Although Taylor inevitably rejected Charlize at the beginning, the relationship between the two was gradually turning for the better after a few days of getting along.


    Of course, he never thought that Tyler would treat Charlize the way he would treat Nicole and Natalie.


    These days, Ryan has been paying attention to Oscar-related matters. Although the canvassing on the surface has stopped long ago, the private actions have never stopped. For example, on the day the organizing committee mailed out the ballot, he gave it to Including James Cameron, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and others hung up the phone, some things needless to say, these people will also know the purpose of his call.


    After the ballots were mailed to the various judges of the academy, under Ryan''s instruction, the public relations team sprinkled a lot of advertising expenses, and the media was full of praises for "Gladiator" and Maximus.


    Even if they have done enough work in advance, there will certainly be a considerable number of judges who will still not watch any nominated film. At this time, media reports have become the basis for their votes.


    Oscars have never lacked people who vote with their feet, and this group of people occupies a considerable number.


    The award ceremony is less than a week away, and now the basic overall situation is set, all Ryan can do is wait.


    Maybe after the counting result comes out, you can hire a few people and go to PricewaterhouseCoopers to change the result to what you want?


    This is just Ryan''s random thoughts, even if he really wants to get that little golden man, he will not do such a reckless thing.


    In the recent period, in addition to the upcoming Oscar awards ceremony, the entertainment media''s eye-catching is undoubtedly "Ice Age" and its producer, Blue Sky Studio.


    The animated feature film was released in mid-March. Because Disney frequently came into contact with Pixar¡¯s core personnel, Ryan did not go to New York to attend the premiere, and only watched it in the home theater with Taylor and Charlize.


    The movie is very similar to the previous life, not as touching as the "Toy Story" series. There is no sensationalism in "Monsters Electric Company", but it is very humorous and can bring happiness to people, especially the Rat Quett mentioned by Taylor. First appeared in the film. It is a thread-and-thread character, and because of its gorgeous stealing performance. Every time it is impressive.


    Like Pixar''s little table lamp, this squirrel has almost become the spokesperson of Blue Sky Studio.


    According to the original agreement with Murdoch, the film was handed over to Twentieth Century Fox for distribution.


    In previous years, Twentieth Century Fox invested 75 million US dollars. Produced a 2d plus 3d cartoon "Frozen Planet", and after spending another US$30 million in publicity costs, the film was released last year, and the final box office was only a poor 20 million US dollars. Even if the surroundings are more optimistically estimated, it is destined to lose money. No return.


    After summing up the lessons, Twentieth Century Fox is eager to get a stable animation production department. Even if it can only act as a publisher for the time being.


    You know, in the past few years, Paramount has made hundreds of millions of dollars in net profits just from Pixar''s animated films.


    Twentieth Century Fox signed 3,450 theaters for "Ice Age" in the first week, and the film did not disappoint the producers and distributors. Among the overwhelming applause from the media and the audience, in the first week he took the top spot in the North American box office rankings, and got a box office of 49.88 million U.S. dollars.


    So far, the movie has reached its third week, and the North American box office is infinitely close to the $100 million mark.


    Another ugly duckling gradually transformed into a white swan.


    As early as the last time I went to New York, Ryan hired a professional team from Wall Street to develop a detailed listing plan for Blue Sky Studio. This time it was almost a replica of Pixar Studio''s listing in 1995.


    Blue Sky Studios officially landed on Nasdaq ten days before the release of "Ice Age" and raised shares at a price of 22 US dollars per share.


    People close to Ryan have bought a lot of stocks through hidden foundations. Twentieth Century Fox is another big buyer. Not many listed stocks fall into the hands of retail investors.


    Since the movie¡¯s release to the present, Blue Sky Studios has completely ignored the downturn in technology stocks. The stock price per share has risen from 22 US dollars to 42 US dollars. The market value of Blue Sky Studios has exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars. The pessimistic Nasdaq is permeated. Suddenly, a large number of buy orders for Blue Sky stocks were placed on the stock market.


    Everyone understands that "Ice Age" will definitely succeed, and Ryan has a promising animation studio in his hands.


    Some people are envious, some are jealous, some are expecting him to be unlucky, and some are expecting the federal government to initiate an antitrust investigation.


    In the twentieth century, Fox has always wanted to have its own animation studio, Rupert Murdoch also personally called, wanting to get more shares of Blue Sky Studio.


    Ryan did not refuse, and did not want to refuse. News Corp. holds a certain amount of Disney shares in exchange for part of Blue Sky Studio''s equity. It is a win-win transaction.


    Of course, these will be hidden in the audience. Scott is currently negotiating with Murdoch''s agent A specific agreement cannot be reached in a short time.


    In addition to the negotiations here, Scott¡¯s team is still in several other negotiations. Among them, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, after receiving sufficient financial support from Ryan, brought Google into the highway. In the development stage, with the assistance of Scott''s team, planning for the listing began again.


    For an online company like this, if you want to become really big, going public is almost a necessary choice, and its development speed is obviously faster than its previous life, Ryan must also let it go public.


    In the UK, after a rigorous assessment, Ryan¡¯s agent established a shell company called ¡°Red Football¡±, quietly absorbed 3.17% of Manchester United¡¯s shares from the market, and sent someone to contact Magnuel. The two Irish horse racing tycoons and McManus, the two largest shareholders of Manchester United, also revealed their intention to change their shares. The biggest problem is undoubtedly the price.


    In addition, Ryan''s agent also contacted David Gill and Alex Ferguson, and through a series of promises, they temporarily won the support of these two, only to find a good time to launch the final acquisition.


    However, all of this needs to be put aside for the time being, after all, the 73rd Oscars ceremony is coming. ()

 Chapter 490： Waiting for the award ceremony to start

    On March 25, the 73rd Oscars ceremony officially kicked off. This will be the last time the awards ceremony will be held in the Sacred Citizen Auditorium. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has confirmed that Kodak will be under construction starting next year. The theater will be the fixed venue for the Oscars. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test (Pingnan Literature Net)


    A few days ago, this place attracted the attention of many reporters. Hundreds of young women who drove across the North American continent gathered in the preset stands in advance. They were well-dressed and dressed in various luxury brand fashions. With a signed banner in support of Ryan, taking turns singing and dancing here every day has become a landscape before the award ceremony.


    These female fans from the Upper East Side of New York are enthusiastic and crazy at the same time. When interviewed by the media, in addition to supporting Ryan''s remarks for winning the best actor, they also openly clamored to give Charlize Theron on the red carpet. Embarrassed.


    Perhaps these fanatical women, or perhaps the college has already considered this aspect. The day before the awards ceremony, the organizing committee heightened the guardrails and increased the number of security personnel in front of the preset stands, which made the atmosphere of the scene. There is a hint of tension.


    News soon came out. Just a few days ago, Russell Crowe, who served as the guest of honor, played a negotiating expert in "The Elements of Survival", which attracted dissatisfaction from a criminal group in South America. The other party claimed He will be kidnapped in retaliation in the near future.


    Although the Australian movie star came to the Hall of Sacred Citizens, there were several FBI agents behind him. The red carpet was always black from beginning to end, and he barely squeezed a smile until the interview area.


    Ryan held Charlize next to him and walked behind Russell Crowe, right in front of them were two sturdy men, if you just look at it from the outside. These agents are more like professional boxers.


    Because of the initiative to gain weight, Charlize deliberately chose a white dress that would not highlight the figure, and for the first time took his favorite person onto the Oscar red carpet. Naturally very happy.


    "Let''s pass the interview area quickly." Ryan waved to the stand. Bian said to Charlize, "I don''t want to deal with those reporters."


    "I don''t want to deal with them either." Charlize also quickened his pace immediately. "Didn''t George wait in the interview area?"


    Russell Crowe is now the focus of media attention. When Ryan walked into the interview area, reporters from the broadcaster were blocked in front of him, like cross-examination. Asking all kinds of questions, if it''s not from the other side, I''m afraid I can jump on it.


    The appearance of Ryan and Charlize shared a lot of firepower for him.


    It doesn''t matter if the reporter asks "Is there any confidence in getting the best actor", or "Is Pixar any shareholder preparing to transfer shares to Disney", or "Why Miss Theron suddenly got lucky, is she pregnant?" Both Ryan remained silent and walked into the auditorium all the way under the **** of George and the others who had been waiting a long time ago.


    "God, what are they thinking?" He tightened Ryan''s arm. Charlize whispered, "They asked me if I was pregnant?"


    "Just ignore them."


    He patted her hand comfortingly, and a greeting came from behind, "Ryan, it''s been a long time."


    "Hi, Stephen."


    Hearing some familiar voices, Ryan turned around, shook hands with the bald head who was coming, and joked, "You are our biggest opponent tonight."


    ""Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have jointly won 22 nominations." Stephen Soderbergh looked very humble, "Ryan, your biggest opponent is yourself, I am optimistic that you will get the most Good actor."


    The three of them walked forward together, Ryan put away his smiling face and said in a low voice, "I also look forward to you getting the best director."


    Although "Eileen Brockovich" appeared early, Stephen Soderbergh still won two best director nominations for "Drug Network" and "Women''s War". If nothing else, best director. It should fall on his head.


    Not only that, the heroine of the "Women''s War" that Ryan hasn''t seen is Julia Roberts, and she won the second best actress nomination in her life for her tenacious and persevering role.


    In fact, Ryan''s vote for Best Actress went to Big Mouth Zhu, even if he hadn''t even watched the trailer.


    Well, he has inherited the best traditions of the Oscar judges and became a member of the ballot with his feet.


    The seats of the two sides are far apart and separated after entering the theater. Ryan looked at the bright bald head. The other party and his movie are definitely the biggest opponents of "Gladiator".


    Although filmmaking has always had a strong personal style and was even criticized as being too experimental, Stephen Soderbergh seems to have found a balance between art and commerce on "Drug Network". The film is both popular and popular.


    This year''s Oscars, "Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" all have a direct relationship with Ryan, and the organizers also arranged the seats of the two crews in accordance with tradition. (Pingnan Literature Net)


    Of course, this place has also become the most concentrated place of Chinese descent in the theater. In addition to the main creators of the movie, people whom Ryan knows alone include Tan Dun and Youyou Ma, and a female singer who speaks loudly when greeted. .


    "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won ten Oscar nominations, which will undoubtedly arouse the attention of the North American Chinese community. This year will definitely be the most Chinese entertainer invited to attend the event. Not only is there a large number of guests sitting nearby, but also someone from the Far East. Joint interview delegations on both sides of the strait, as well as Chinese audiences who tried their best to enter the venue in order to witness historical footage.


    "Hi, Ridley." After shaking his hand, Ryan took the initiative to take a little distance and deliberately looked at Ridley Scott, "You look black."


    "The Moroccan sun is too terrible." Ridley Scott had just rushed back from the set in Africa, "I really should have set the set in Nevada."


    "Is the shooting of Black Hawk Fall finished?" Ryan asked concerned.


    "At least two months."


    Hearing Ridley Scott''s words, Ryan secretly sighed that the fate of this movie was really doomed.


    After greeted each other with the rest of the crew, Ryan came to his seat, first hugged Leonardo DiCaprio, nodded to Gisele Bunchen, and waited for Charlize to be with him. After they shook hands, they sat down.


    However, he is still uneasy. Many celebrities who are new to the theater choose to come over and say hello to him.


    "It seems that there are not many guests here today."


    As time went on, there were fewer and fewer people in the theater. Ryan chatted with Charlize a few words, "Do you feel that way, Charlie?"


    "Did you not watch the relevant news?" Charlize was puzzled, then laughed again, "I forget that you have been busy with work recently. It is said that the total number of guests and entertainers invited to attend this year reached more than 2,800. The most one in history."


    "Then Los Angeles fashion and jewelers are going to make a fortune." Ryan sighed with emotion.


    Every Oscar, the stars who compete on the red carpet will always bring huge income to Los Angeles businesses.


    Fortunately, male celebrities, such as Ryan, who participated in so many Oscars, have always been traditional dark dresses and bow ties, and female celebrities who want to show off on the red carpet often spend a lot of money.


    Fortunately, a popular female celebrity like Charlize is usually sponsored by sponsors or well-known designers, and ordinary celebrities can only pay for it out of their own pockets.


    These costs range from dresses to jewelry to RVs, often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.


    Although the award ceremony has not yet officially started, more than a dozen cameras on the TV station will scan from the field from time to time to capture the expressions of the stars, especially those who have been nominated, before the ceremony.


    Ryan''s side was naturally the focus of attention, and there was even a camera that obviously stayed on Charlize''s face for a long time, which caused the South African Diamonds to complain.


    "God, my image is completely ruined as I am now."


    Although she only looks plump, the woman is very concerned about her figure and beauty. "I really hope I can finish filming "The Devil" tomorrow, and then hurry up to lose weight."


    "My dear." Ryan deliberately used a joke to comfort her, "I have to remind you that the film will not start until three days later, and it will take at least one and a half months after the filming is complete."


    "Why did you choose Christina? Richie played Hilby?" Charlize didn''t answer him at all.


    "A candidate recommended by Drew." Ryan made a gesture that you understand and continued, "Director Jenkins also thinks her audition effect is okay."


    Hearing the recommendation of the other party¡¯s friend from Ryan, Charlize shrugged, leaned to his ear, and whispered, ¡°I have a better candidate. She must be more suitable for Hilby than Christina Ritchie. Who?" Ryan''s mouth trembled subconsciously.


    "I have talked with Hilby several times. She is a very complicated person." Charlize suddenly turned to the role. "Your script is set in this way, honey, don''t you think Natalie Bo Is Terman the most suitable candidate?"


    Seeing Charlize and retreating back with a smile, Ryan gave her a concealed look. The South African Diamond blinked her eyes mischievously, and then focused her energy on the little golden figure erected on the stage.


    Ryan would only treat this kind of proposal as a joke, and would never agree. He and Natalie finally formed a tacit understanding, usually not mentioning the names of Nicole and Charlize, if these two quite individual women face each other. , Also plays a same-sex couple, what kind of unpredictable risks will it bring?


    It is estimated that this film with an investment of 30 million US dollars may not be finished by today next year.


    Slanting his eyes, seeing Charlize¡¯s lips curled into an upward arc, Ryan simply threw these words behind her head, and stared at the Mr. Oscar set standing on the stage, waiting for the start of the award ceremony. ()

 Chapter 491： Good show opening

    In front of the sacred auditorium, the college set up a large screen so that those who participated in the red carpet but could not enter the auditorium can watch the awards ceremony. Both Hollywood and Oscars have a strong business atmosphere. The slippery **** is bound to affect the awards ceremony, and the academy has taken great pains for the ratings. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    Thousands of spectators gathered in front of the big screen, and of course those young and beautiful women were indispensable.


    This team is definitely the focus of the organizing committee''s prevention. Just in case, they simply declined these people to enter the venue.


    The sky gradually dimmed and the big screen was officially launched. After a short opening, Steve Martin stood under Mr. Oscar on the stage.


    After experiencing the infinite reincarnation of Billy Christo and Ubi Gordonborg, the Oscars of the new century finally ushered in a new host, the comedian who is known as the Hollywood white-headed man, the host style Tend to be more vulgar.


    Routine opening jokes are of course indispensable, and the federal government is always the most suitable object of ridicule, because as long as the jokes are said, even if all politicians are described as pigs, the Washington authorities will not jump out to make trouble.


    Steve Martin unceremoniously ridiculed the federal government¡¯s foreign and tax policies, and said directly, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m telling you the unfortunate news that Hollywood¡¯s long-awaited tax cuts are gone. We can go back and raise money to prepare for tax returns. ."


    Perhaps it is the first time to host the Oscars. Steve Martin obviously has problems with the scale of jokes, especially when he mentioned the **** group in a ridiculous tone, it will definitely attract protests from **** organizations afterwards.


    "We live in a great country, where we don''t have to pay the price of our lives for freedom and republic."


    After praising Julia Roberts¡¯ makeup, Steve Martin looked at Ryan¡¯s location, ¡°A tragedy like Gladiator won¡¯t happen in Los Angeles. How charming Ryan is in the movie, Just ask the girls outside the theater. Fortunately, he finally started a relationship..."


    The lens gave Charlize Theron a close-up that lasted several seconds. South African Diamonds showed a charming smile.


    "It''s not easy to maintain a relationship or marriage in Hollywood..."


    Steve Martin went to the other side. Suddenly spread his hands and said, "Because we have slept too many people."


    This sentence came out. The whole theater was in an uproar, especially the Hollywood industry insiders in the front row, most of them put away their smiles.


    "This should be the last time he has hosted an Oscar."


    Speaking to Charlize in a low voice, Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head. He knew that the other party was not targeting himself, but he didn''t grasp the scale of the joke.


    However, there are some things that even if everyone in Hollywood knows it, even if the public in the United States knows it, they can''t be told on the stage, not to mention that it is still broadcast to the world on occasions like Oscars.


    Old Martin will definitely be on the blacklist of the academy. I am afraid that there will be no second chance to host the Oscar in this life.


    Steve Martin on the stage also knew that he had gone too far. I immediately changed the subject, "The one sitting over there is Ann Lee. When I first heard of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I never thought it would be a movie..."


    The atmosphere in the theater is much colder than before. Ryan didn''t bother to listen to Steve Martin''s vulgar jokes, and simply stared at the huge golden figure on the stage.


    "What are you thinking?" Charlize Theron leaned over and reminded in a low voice, "It''s about to begin."


    On the stage, Steve Martin has given way, and the first award is about to be awarded. As the guest of award for best supporting actor, last year''s best supporting actress Angelina Jolie stood in the middle of the stage holding a big envelope. .


    "A great movie needs not only a protagonist, but also an excellent supporting role." The actress who caused a turmoil last year because of her acceptance speech talked freely. "Benecio Del Todd in "Drug Network" The performance was impressive. William Fuda''s performance in "The Phantom of the Vampire" softened dreams and reality. Leonardo DiCaprio perfectly performed the sinister and despicable emperor in "Gladiator", Jeff? The role of Bridges in "Competitor"..."


    Leonardo on the other side is obviously a little nervous. This is normal. He has become a Hollywood star. With the success of the series of commercial masterpiece "Mission Impossible", this handsome boy naturally wants to make a difference at the Oscars.


    Unfortunately, it turns out that young people, especially the more handsome young people, do not recruit the college.


    "Finally, the winner is..." Angelina Jolie read out the answer directly without making any appetites, "Benecio del Todd from "Drug Network"!"


    Although Xiao Li kept smiling and applauded, Ryan saw the disappointment and patted his arm lightly, "There is still a chance in the future, Leon."


    "I will come again next year."


    Hearing Leonardo''s words, Ryan couldn''t help but think that now Xiao Li will be stunned by Oscars, right? If this is the case, it won''t take long for him to become a full-faced uncle.


    However, the academy¡¯s discrimination against young people is obvious. They would rather hand over the award to an older Latino than to consider several other newly emerging young actors.


    Will you be as tragic as Leonardo? Ryan subconsciously poked his face. In case of failure this time, would he have to change his image?


    He quickly gave up this idea, as long as his plan is successful, he will not play with the Academy and Oscar in the future.


    "My dear, stop thinking about it."


    The careful Charlize seemed to have guessed his thoughts and whispered, "Don''t forget, you are different from Leon."


    Nodding, Ryan took Charlize''s hand and turned his attention back to the stage.


    "Drug Network" is indeed the strongest opponent. At the beginning, all the competitors were given a good start. After winning the best supporting actor, it took back the best editing from Russell Crowe as the guest of honor. The little golden man, the two producers of Focus Pictures, became the people with the brightest smiles in the theater.


    "Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also received nominations for best editing, but at the same time lost to "Drug Network", especially "Gladiator", losing to "Drug Network" in two consecutive awards. It seems to be developing in the direction of tragedy.


    After Ben Affleck and Annette Bening introduced the best film nominations of "Quiet" and "Chocolate," Lee became the first Chinese female singer to be on the Oscar stage and sang The theme song of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was nominated for best original song. Although the dancers showed some oriental culture, unfortunately, they can only sing in English.


    The next best original screenplay and best supporting actress have nothing to do with him. Ryan spends most of the time chatting with Charlize and Leonnan in low voices.


    "Gladiator" was nominated for the best original screenplay in its previous life, but it was a novel when it first came out in this life, so it entered the ranks of the best adapted screenplay.


    "Some inconspicuous original works, after film adaptation, tend to emit a brilliant light..."


    The wide and fat Tom Hanks stood on the stage as the guest of honor, "The winner of the award for best adapted screenplay is... Stephen Garhan, "Drug Network"!"


    The crew of "Drug Network" was full of cheers. There was only sparse applause near Ryan, and the people around him gave comforting eyes, but he himself didn''t care much.


    Generally speaking, movies that have won the screenplay award tend to take the lead in the best director or best picture, but Ryan¡¯s biggest goal is not originally these two awards. These messy awards have a certain comforting nature. In some ways, it might be a good thing to lose it.


    However, losing to "Drug Network" in three consecutive awards, "Gladiator" was also unlucky enough, because the previous film only received five Oscar nominations.


    Such bad luck can''t last, otherwise Ryan''s high-intensity public relations will not be exhausted? Since the academy did not disclose any dissatisfaction in advance, "Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will definitely not become tragedies.


    When Chow Yun-fat and Michelle Yeoh, their partners in the movie, stood together on the stage and presented the golden figure with the best visual effect, Ryan''s surroundings fell into a boil for the first time, and "Gladiator" also won tonight. The first award.


    The hardest thing in the world is often the first step, as if Oscar is also confirming this rule, then "Gladiator" got the best sound effects and best costume design one after another, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also got the best photography and the most Good art direction.


    Especially for the best soundtrack, Tan Dun became the second Chinese musician to win this award.


    The award ceremony entered the second half As happened before, Ang Lee took over the Golden Man of the best foreign language film from Juliet Binoche, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became the only winner. A Chinese-language movie with an Oscar for Best Picture.


    In order to cooperate with Ryan and Harvey Weinstein''s public relations work, Ang Lee has focused all his energy on this movie from the day he got Palme d¡¯Or. At this time, he wanted to taste it, and it seemed a little bit on the stage. Excited, the acceptance speech simply read out according to the note prepared in advance.


    He thanked all the crew from the actors to the producers, and finally a special thanks.


    "Finally, I want to thank Ryan. He gave me the opportunity to direct this film and gave me the opportunity to stand on this stage. The success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is inseparable from his support. Thank you Rui Well, thank you Harvey, thank you Jenkins Pictures and Weinstein Pictures."


    The camera naturally found Ryan and Harvey Weinstein, and both of them clapped their palms vigorously.


    Ang Lee is a smart person and very good at being a man. He understands the importance of integrating into Hollywood. Otherwise, if he fails, he will be like those from Hong Kong, where he will come and go. ()

 Chapter 492： Thank God

    "The winner of the best actress is Julia Roberts!"


    According to the Oscar convention, the last best actor Kevin Spacey read out the name of this best actress, "Congratulations Julia Roberts! Congratulations Julie!"


    There was thunderous cheers in the audience, the big-mouthed beauty covered her mouth and sat stupidly on the seat, as if she couldn''t believe that she had become a member of the Oscar queen.


    Seeing Charlize with envious eyes around him, Ryan clapped and said in her ear, "Believe me, dear, you will also be on this stage soon."


    "Ryan, do you need me to congratulate you in advance?" Despite saying so, the smile of South African Diamonds became brighter.


    The eyes of the two returned to the stage with Julia Roberts, the representative of the American woman in the previous life. Because of his appearance in this life, her status in Hollywood has dropped a lot, especially the first 20 million club girl. The names of the members and the most valuable actresses fell on Nicole Kidman a few years ago.


    However, she is still Hollywood¡¯s No. 1 romantic comedy actress. Even without "Eileen Brockovich", she can still be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress with another tenacious female role until she is on the film. After the throne.


    "Thank you very much! Thank you very much to the college and the judges, I am so happy."


    Julia Roberts on the stage was very excited and very excited. In a short speech, she interrupted three times in succession, just to say, ¡®I love this place to death¡¯!


    After saying a Chase thank you, she also prevented the staff from playing exit music. The last time was too long, so she had to step down, but before stepping down the stage, she added, "Maybe I will never stand here again. !"


    Her words caused laughter in the audience. There was another round of warm applause.


    At the same time, in front of the big screen outside the theater, many girls screamed, "Attention! Attention! All concentrate! The most critical moment has arrived!"


    And those institutions that count ratings. Also discovered since Julia Roberts stepped down. The ratings of this year''s Oscars have skyrocketed in just a few minutes. The number of spectators surged from 41.2 million to 62 million, and this number exceeded 65 million when Steve Martin introduced the award-giving guests.


    "As a Hollywood actor, I..."


    It seems to be to sap people''s appetite, or perhaps the organizer wants to boost the ratings. Steve Martin on the stage joked again, "I am very proud to announce that Ryan and I have won a total of five Oscar nominations for best actor, or won it consecutively. This is a great record. !"


    "What?" He continued in a listening position. "How many best actor statuettes have we won in total? Oh, that''s so frustrating, because the number is...zero."


    There were bursts of well-intentioned laughter from the bottom of the stage, and many people looked towards this side. It has been nominated for five best actor in a row, and there is no strong contender this year. If the college gives this little golden man to others, it will definitely cause a disturbance.


    "Let¡¯s invite Hilary Swank, the best actress of the previous year..."


    Following the introduction of Steve Martin, wearing a deep V dress, obviously a female man in a vacuum, came to the front of the stage.


    "We are set to win!"


    As the closest person in the theater, Charlize held Ryan''s hand, ten fingers tightly clasped together.


    Leonardo on the other side didn''t say anything, but just gave Ryan a thumbs-up. Harvey Weinstein behind him also patted his shoulder gently to show support.


    Keeping his face calm, Ryan controlled his emotions very well. He has been in Hollywood for more than ten years and has become a group of people standing on the top. He has experienced too many big scenes.


    "Good evening, everybody." Hilary Swank stood in front of the microphone on the stage. "Last year, I was fidgeting down below. Tension and excitement have almost become the only feelings. Now..."


    She made a gesture that everyone understands, and after the laughter, she continued, "I am honored to announce the list of the best actor nomination-Javier Baden "When the Night Comes", Ed Harris "Pollack", Jeffrey Rush "Quill Pen", Ryan Jenkins "Gladiator"..."


    Just after she uttered Ryan''s name, cheers broke out from outside the theater, followed by a sharp ¡®Ryan! Ryan! ''''S neatly shouting, and then the shouting infected all people. Thousands of people shouted the same name together, and their voices were as loud and shocking as tens of thousands of people. It seemed that they wanted to use this method to make the final result follow them Will come and go.


    The number of viewers at the awards ceremony soared again. After breaking through the 70 million mark, there was no stagnation at all, and it came directly to the number of 75 million.


    The vast majority of people in their ten to thirty-year-olds in front of the TV are looking forward to the same thing in their hearts. The last name that Hilary Swank said from the mouth was-Ryan Jenkins!


    "God, please bless Ryan."


    At this moment, Quanmei does not know how many people pray to God sincerely.


    The Sacred Citizens Auditorium is silent, as if this famous theater is paying attention to who will hold the best actor here for the last time.


    Charlize held Ryan''s hand tighter and tighter, and even accelerated her breathing. She was obviously more nervous than the people around her. This atmosphere seemed to have spread to Ryan. He let out a sigh of relief. All he could do The preparatory work has been done, and now I can only wait for the final result.


    The audience in the theater is waiting, the people of the United States are waiting, the media of the whole world are also waiting, waiting for the birth of the youngest Oscar actor in history!


    Hilary Swank opened the envelope and said the name, "Ryan Jenkins!"


    The applause in the theater rang like mountains and seas. From the first row, all the guests and audience stood up, and countless eyes looked at Ryan''s location, and looked at the youngest Oscar best actor ever!


    Without waiting for Ryan to make any response, Charlize Theron was the first to hug him, holding his face in both hands, wishing to stick his whole body into Ryan¡¯s arms, two hot red lips even more Severely printed on him.


    "Congratulations, my best actor."


    "Thank you!"


    Ryan smiled very brightly. Even though he was not as excited as he imagined, he had waited so many years for this little golden man. If he said he was unhappy, it must be fake.


    He kissed the South African diamond again, and Leonardo couldn''t wait to hug him, slapped him on the back, and said with excitement, "Do you need me to send a kiss of blessing?"


    Without even thinking about it, Ryan pushed him away, and embraced and celebrated with Harvey Weinstein, Ridley Scott, Jennifer Lopez and others. Congratulations from the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".


    At this moment, Ryan is the center of the Hall of Sacred Citizens, the focal point of the United States, and the object of most media attention around the world.


    Outside the theater, the loud cheers had already overwhelmed everything. Countless excited girls took off their shirts. Hundreds of colorful busts flew into the sky. There were even a lot of excited girls who just pulled them past. The man who started kissing wildly, he could only hear the murmur of''Ryan'' in a murmur.


    Most of the audience in front of the TV let out a sigh of relief. For this moment, Ryan waited too long, and they waited too long. They couldn''t wait to smash the academy for a long time.


    Many of them started to call, and after the Oscars were over, they could call friends to celebrate and celebrate the great victory that they had witnessed with their own eyes.


    According to statistics from relevant agencies a few days later, after the Oscar night, in order to celebrate Ryan''s winning the best actor, the sales of bars in the United States have soared by 500 million US dollars from the daily average. Other related consumption will be even more short-term. It has risen by more than 30%, giving the nation''s economy a faint illusion of recovery.


    Stepping onto this familiar and unfamiliar stage, gently hugged Hilary Swank, Ryan took the little golden man who was handed over by the other party, and after a glance, with a faint smile on his mouth, he stood in front of the microphone. .


    "Wow~"


    The applause continued, and many acquaintances screamed excitedly among them. Ryan deliberately opened his hands to them, shrugged playfully, and caused bursts of laughter and applause under the stage.


    "He is so charming..."


    "Real people are more handsome, handsome, and more attractive than in the movies..."


    "It would be great if the person sitting next to him was me, that Charlize Theron is really out of luck."


    This is a true portrayal of many female stars who can barely get into this Vanity Fair. Whether it is wealth or talent, whether it is appearance or the ability to become a celebrity, the person on stage does not think of the second person in Hollywood.


    Far away in Sydney, Australia, Nicole Kidman and Antonia Kidman sat in front of the TV and saw Ryan, who took the statuette on stage.


    This is one of his dreams, now finally realized...


    This bastard! She clenched her fists hard. Although the Disney affairs had formed a tacit understanding, why didn''t she push him a little bit more cruelly, so that she could feel the tone of her heart? Also, didn''t he want to win Charlize Theron to the Oscar''s best actress throne, then we will have a good contest next year!


    The sky in Cambridge was bleak, and Natalie curled up on the sofa of the villa. Although she repeatedly reminded herself not to watch the Oscar live broadcast, she couldn''t help turning on the TV when it was almost time.


    The very familiar person on the stage holds the highest honor representing an actor, and she also wants to stand on that stage.


    perhaps¡­¡­


    She lowered her head, her eyes fell on the script in her hand. This is a birthday gift from him, a gift of her own!


    Enjoying this moment is what Ryan thinks now, standing in front of the microphone, deliberately letting out a sigh, and then saying, "Thank God..." ()

 Chapter 493： Drop the curtain

    The four of them were in distress. Seeing that Zhong Bingfeng was about to be released in a minute, it would be the time when they were finished.


    "I think we may not even be able to run for five kilometers." Li Yitie pointed to the horizon and said, "Those cultivators have surrounded us long ago."


    Li Yitie and Yun Feixiang stretched out their heads in the same window with similar angles of view. They rolled their eyes and took a glance, and couldn''t help exclaiming, "God, it''s a cultivator."


    "Of course." Yun Feixiang couldn''t help feeling proud when he thought of his first few feats. He was about to say a few words, and Fang Ziqiang said again: "That''s great. Anyway, you are not afraid of pain. Up."


    Li Yitie turned around angrily and said, "Why do I hear you seem to be happy?"


    "Hehe~~" Fang Ziqiang said with a smile: "We are talking about ways to escape. By the way, Brother Yun, I heard that you once rolled all the way down from the Rubik''s Cube building. Is it true?"


    "Is there?" Yun Feixiang said, "I am also in this car, and I won''t be much better after you are finished."


    "Of course it will." Xiao Ji said: "Wait, brother, what do you mean..."


    Yun Feixiang wondered: "Tie to help me and help you escape? Why?"


    Fang Ziqiang asked: "Where do we make them look at? Actually, they will come here."


    "Wow, look." Yun Feixiang pointed to the back: "There are a lot of idiots who were suffocated because they couldn''t breathe just now."


    "That''s right." Li Yitie said, "It seems that the charms of you and Brother Tianshan are really extraordinary!"


    Fang Ziqiang said: "Flying, don''t get me wrong, we tie you up to make it easier to wait for the escape."


    Fang Ziqiang said: "Brother Li quickly tied him with the immortal rope. He has recovered his physical strength now, and he may have to use that to shrink his ground and slip away."


    Fang Ziqiang smiled yin and said, "You will have to work hard at that time."


    Yun Feixiang was taken aback: "What? You mean those cultivators who have a combat power of at least 200,000 or more?"


    "Maybe the two mice are tired." Yun Feixiang said: "It seems we can''t run far."


    Yun Feixiang and Li Yitie were confused when they heard, Yun Feixiang asked, "What are you two talking about? Why don''t we understand?"


    The ice seal has not been unraveled, and the ten most memorable minutes of the sequelae of Life Guardian have passed. The physical strength and health of several people have begun to recover, fatigue and drowsiness have also declined, and the prospects seem to be good. In the Heavenly World, physical strength is the basis of all the characters'' activities. Except for rest, doing anything will consume physical strength. So being unable to recover physical strength is an extremely terrible thing.


    Now that the physical strength of the three people has begun to recover, does it mean that they have the capital to fight on? The fact is otherwise. The fatigue of those few people is above 98%. According to the algorithm of reducing fatigue by 1% for every ten to fifteen minutes of rest in the heavens, they must return to less than 75% (can (Utilizing the normal ability of the current attributes), even if there is a 15-fold recovery acceleration of the pumpkin car, it will take at least 15 to 16 minutes at least. How can the hunter give them so much time? Besides, Yun Feixiang has found a bad place.


    "To run, those two big mice are also running." Li Yitie said, took out the wishful stick, and was about to lengthen it and wave it backwards to temporarily stop the enemy. He didn''t want the rat cart to slow down suddenly, Xiao Ji said, "Quickly. Put away the Wishful Stick, it is too heavy and the car will slow down."


    "Yes." Xiao Ji said.


    Li Yitie put away the Ruyi golden hoop and said, "Why does the car slow down when I fight with the golden hoop?"


    Yun Feixiang smiled bitterly: "I hope no fairy will come."


    Fang Ziqiang suddenly asked: "Xiao Ji, generally speaking, as long as you don''t directly attack the partners who signed the alliance for life, you won''t be a catastrophe?"


    "Are you still in the mood to look at them?" Fang Ziqiang said, "Those cultivators are about to rush in, run away."


    "Yun Feixiang has stolen a lot of artifacts and immortal artifacts, do you think they are interested in you?" Li Yitie said.


    He looked at the chasers on the horizon who were turning around outside the ice-bound area, and asked: "Hey, look, who are those guys flying outside the ice-bound area?"


    "Me?" Yun Feixiang wondered for a while, and was about to ask why, the icy seal suddenly opened, and all the ice in a radius of ten miles disappeared in an instant, leaving only the fresh water mist, which is probably absorbed from the air. Ice probably doesn''t contain much water.


    Li Yitie heard it, and immediately waved his hand, and a bundle of immortal ropes immediately tied the unsuspecting Yun Fei firmly. Yun Feixiang smiled bitterly: "Two big brothers, we have no grievances in the past, and we have no enmity in the past, why bother you want to harm me like this?


    "Big Brother, don''t worry." Xiao Ji said, "Anyway, there is a ten-minute rest interval every time. As long as I don''t consume it randomly, I can still use my life guard nine times in a row."


    "Don''t talk about immortals." Li Yitie said: "Any one of these people can make us walk around without eating."


    "You''ll know later." Fang Ziqiang said: "Since Xiaoji said that if we only run 50 kilometers away, she has a way to let us drag the risk, so we only need to try our best to run 50 kilometers now."


    Fang Ziqiang asked again: "Then if someone hangs up and respawns on the spot, will all the attributes return to the best value?"

 Chapter 494： Give Disney a chance

    The Oscars finally gave up the annual feast, and the moment of media carnival has just arrived.


    North American media have put out valuable front pages to publish huge themed pictures and Oscar-related reports, including several or even a dozen pages of Oscar news, and several major newspapers have almost exclusively selected Ryan''s photos. The title of Oscar''s youngest actor and greatest young actor since the 1980s has become the subject of almost all reports.


    On several major portals, the group photos of Ryan and Julia Roberts after the awards ceremony are quite dreamy. The most selected photo is the celebration scene of Ryan holding up the statuette, Yahoo and Google homepage. This is the main photo of, and the caption is "The Best Actor Who Can Be Expected!" ". "Fiction" novel chapters are updated fastest


    The Los Angeles Times published a huge artistically beautiful photo on the first page of the ¡°Daily Focus¡±. Ryan stood on the podium to greet the audience with the golden figure in hand, and the headline of the column was a The pun "Ryan Jenkins: Oscars and Giants in the Arena" implies that he combines the image of the gladiator in the film with the Oscar actor in life.


    The additional issue of the Oscar special issue "Vanity Fair" puts the picture of Ryan holding up the Golden Man on the cover. The inside page of the magazine uses a full 13 pages to introduce in detail Ryan''s experience since the film and the best Oscar this time. The details of the protagonist before and after, including a paragraph in black and bold text describing that with the birth of the youngest actor in history, Hollywood is bound to usher in a new era.


    This same photo, destined to become a classic of Ryan¡¯s life, has also become the main picture on the front pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post. The report distributed below spares no effort to sing praises for Ryan, the new Oscar actor. It also specifically mentioned the acceptance speech of "If there were no movies, I think this world would be an inhabitable barren land", thinking that "Ryan and his Jenkins Pictures will definitely continue to make wonderful movies and change the whole world." Be more beautiful and beautiful! ¡¯


    "New York Post" has always been known for its exaggerated reporting style, this time it simply used the title and article of "Hollywood''s New Leader" on the front page. Describe how Ryan has evolved from a child star to the most iconic superstar in Hollywood, chanting directly, ¡®After entering the new century, Hollywood movies will surely conquer the world under Ryan¡¯s leadership! ¡¯


    After more than ten years of hard work and struggle, Ryan is becoming the most culturally representative figure in this country. Whether it is people who like him or people who hate him, he has to admit that he won the best male Oscar. The protagonist adds a layer of halo to him who is already dazzling.


    The mainstream media undoubtedly represents the voice of the mainstream society. They launched a''carpet bombing'' propaganda about Ryan''s award. His five consecutive nominations and this year''s obviously weak opponent were in front of him. Almost no one questioned his eligibility for the award, and the media agreed even more. This is the smartest and most correct choice for the college''.


    Not only English newspapers, but also the largest Chinese-language newspapers in the United States, have also given enough attention.


    The "World Journal" reported on the headline of the headline "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Ryan''s winning news, pointing out that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can shine at the awards ceremony, proving that the West has begun to have a strong sense of the beauty of Chinese culture. With an interest in appreciation and experience, Ryan is currently one of the most popular and most valuable movie stars in Hollywood. After years of unremitting efforts, he finally won the coveted "Best Actor" Golden Image Award, which is definitely well deserved.


    In addition, "China Daily" and "International Daily" also invariably put Ryan''s report on the front page, and the headline of the column is similar to the previous Chinese newspaper.


    of course. The focus of these media reports is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Li Ang, Tan Dun, Ye Jintian, and Bao Dexi hold the pictures of the little golden man, occupying the most positions in Chinese newspapers.


    "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has not yet been released on a large scale in overseas markets, and the four Oscar statuettes will definitely attract more attention. Even in a few areas where the screening rights can only be sold off, the copyright fees can rise considerably.


    Regarding this Chinese-language film, Ryan''s follow-up publicity has not relaxed.


    Although it cannot affect the media on the other side of the Pacific. But some of his propaganda team have already gone to Hong Kong and Taipei.


    Just after the Oscars award ceremony, there were overwhelming reports about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the mainstream media of the two places. The reports deliberately ignored the film''s attribution, saying that it was "for the Chinese people''s performance in the international film scene." Chinese people everywhere are moved by the beautiful record, which is the pride of all Chinese people''.


    Later, a news agency and an official media newspaper directly quoted the news, specifically stating that''The director of the film, Li Ang, who was born in Taiwan, emphasized on the podium that he is proud of being a Chinese, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" It is the result of the cooperation between the Chinese people across the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, and it is to win glory and glory for Chinese films''.


    In this era, these two media still have great influence. The name of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" instantly resounded in this land, which aroused the expectations of many people, and the China Film Group, which has been negotiating with Jenkins Pictures , Quickly decided to introduce "Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".


    In fact, with the sensation caused by "Titanic", more and more ordinary film lovers here are paying attention to Oscars. In addition to the three major European film festivals, it turns out that there is another film festival in North America that is more than the earliest Venice Film Festival. A film award that was born more than ten years earlier.


    At the time of the 73rd Oscars, several websites here that mainly broadcast the Oscars were all paralyzed to varying degrees. According to incomplete statistics, a total of more than 800,000 people watched the Oscars through the Internet. Various live broadcasts.


    Unlike the previous life¡¯s early landing in the Far East market, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did not enter this market until after the Oscars. The treatment received was completely different. There are not only Cannes Palme d¡¯Or, one of the three major European film festivals, but also four. The Oscar statuette guarded his body, and finally took nearly 40 million US dollars from the box office from the mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and almost killed the "Gladiator" in the same period in the Chinese market.


    It is a pity that when the movie went down, Jenkins Pictures shed all kinds of expenses, and Ryan found that he didn''t make much money here.


    The proportion of evil! He can only sigh with emotion.


    The new agreement on films between the two sides of the Pacific has not been reached. Jenkins Pictures and China Film Group can only follow the old rules. What is the box office share of Hollywood movies in this rule?


    Only a poor 13%...


    The only good thing is that the 13% of the total box office is divided. There is no need to deduct the publicity fee and pay taxes here.


    After the continuous hype in the media, the public''s interest in the Oscars has gradually decreased, the awards season has ended, and Hollywood has never lacked eye-catching news.


    For the media, this is the most uncontroversial Oscar, the most unexpected Oscar, and the most unsurprising Oscar.


    Ryan got the best actor and became the youngest Oscar actor, almost as most people expected, even the gamblers who placed bets on the handicap. No one can win money if he places a high bet.


    Charlize went to Florida with the "Devil''s Head" crew. In the days when there was no need to shoot a movie, Ryan spent a few days at Harvard, dubbing the first film of "The Lord of the Rings" released in the summer file, and hiding in the manor. Handle those necessary tasks in the process.


    The only person who often accompanies me is Miss Taylor Swift, who has almost nothing to do except study. The greatest pleasure of the little girl is to use her deliberately out-of-tune singing to make the whole manor uneasy.


    "Ryan. Do you really do nothing?"


    The sunshine in Los Angeles in April was already a bit strong. Taylor hid in a chair in the palm grove, swinging around without stopping. "They are robbing our interests. If we touch our cake, we must be punished."


    "Honey, you just need to look at it." Ryan waved his hand casually over there.


    Just the day before yesterday, the little girl wrote a song that she thought was very satisfying. He rushed into the study and heard what he was discussing with George about Pixar.


    In the past two days, she was more worried than Ryan. The pair of golden eyebrows were almost twisted into a pimple, always making unreliable suggestions.


    "Alison..." Ryan was still a little worried about this big mouth. "This matter is of great importance. Don''t mention it to anyone, otherwise we will go begging on the Avenue of Stars in the future."


    "I promise, I won''t say it when I dream!"


    She is no longer the girl who was completely ignorant before. Gradually, she should do what she should and should not do. "The one who touched our cheese is our enemy. We must work together to defeat them!"


    "But... my dear brother Ryan."


    The little girl jumped out of the hanging chair and sat at the table here, holding her small chin, frowning and saying, "Didn¡¯t George say that Ed, John, and Andrew have reached an agreement with Disney? We? Do you just watch it like this and do nothing?"


    "What do you think we should do?"


    Looking at the very serious little girl, Ryan is also very serious. Taylor will inherit a huge fortune in the future and will also work hard in the complex entertainment industry. In some respects, he is destined to learn earlier than others.


    "Kill them all." This is just childish talkMy dear..." Ryan rubbed her head and explained patiently, "Ed Kamel, John Lasseter and them are the core of Pixar and the representative of Pixar''s spirit. If four to five years pass, the method you said will definitely work. Now that Pixar leaves them, the core staff will disperse, and we have Stocks will become waste paper, and Pixar will no longer be Pixar. "


    "Can you just watch them leaning against Disney?" The little girl was obviously depressed.


    "My dear, in the style of Michael Eisner, I promised them more support in terms of salary and freedom at most."


    Seeing the little girl frowning and thinking, Ryan slowly moved the table, as if to explain to Taylor, but also as if talking to himself, "Which is more attractive to be in charge of Pixar or the entire animation department of Disney?"


    "Then..." The sapphire blue eyes rolled, seeming to understand a little bit, "Shall we fight back?"


    "No, Disney is still looking for a good opportunity to shoot." Ryan stood up and walked towards the villa, "We will give him the best chance, we will go to... England!" (to be continued...) ()

 Chapter 95： Old Trafford Stadium

    In 2001, it was an unusual year for the United States, which is known as the free world. After another golden decade, the US economy fell from its peak and fell into a long-term downturn. The stock market continued to decline, making it more and more Many families may fall into debt crisis or go bankrupt directly.


    However, Vanity Fair, a drunken fan, is still singing and dancing. In the past five years, the film industry has once again pushed the film industry to a peak, and a large number of outstanding works have emerged. Hollywood has used large commercial productions one after another, knocking one after another overseas. The market crushed the entire world''s competitors. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated fastest


    During this period, big directors like James Cameron and Steven Spielberg became well-known to the world, and Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts became world-renowned superstars. .


    But all this looks bleak in front of the other person,


    If you immediately interview a hundred ordinary Americans and ask who is the most representative figure in Hollywood in the past five years, more than 70 adults will say the same answer Ryan Jenkins!


    This is a name that Hollywood couldn''t get around in the nineties.


    In terms of identity, he is a gold medal screenwriter, producer and super movie star.


    In terms of honor, at the Oscar award ceremony dozens of days ago, he was just crowned the youngest Oscar actor ever.


    On the box office, the box office of his starring movie can make all Hollywood actors feel complacent.


    Not to mention the films he played as a screenwriter or producer in the past five years. The five films starring in him alone have earned nearly 5 billion US dollars in box office worldwide. One "Titanic" has even exceeded the lifetime of most actors. The number of box offices that can be obtained.


    If you add the movie he provided the script, basically no one in this world can compare with him.


    But now he is only 21 years old, and no one dares to predict what he will develop in the future.


    After all, he is different from all the stars in Hollywood. The biggest difference is the status and power of representation in Hollywood.


    To classify all the complicated things into the simplest point, that is, he is very rich, very, very rich.


    He is the number one shareholder of listed companies such as Blizzard Entertainment, Blue Sky Studios, and Pixar Studios. Jenkins Pictures, which he created by himself, is a leader among the second-tier Hollywood production companies. Many people even think that if the quality of the films is solely concerned, it Can definitely be ranked in the forefront of Hollywood.


    To be a big star in Hollywood, to stand on the highest level in Hollywood, you must be very rich.


    This is the consensus of everyone. But how much his assets are, the new Forbes rich list, is undoubtedly the most reference.


    In the new US Rich List released in March, Ryan used a large number of shares in listed companies such as Blizzard Entertainment, Blue Sky Studios, and Pixar Studios, as well as Yahoo and other it shares that are shown in the bright spot, to exceed 15 billion. For the first time, the dollar''s net worth has squeezed into the top ten of the richest Americans list.


    He is famous, rich, and powerful.


    In the latest issue of the Hollywood Power Rankings, he overpowered many well-known figures such as George Lucas, Shirley Lansing and Steven Spielberg, and for the first time ascended to the first place.


    Everyone, the newly promoted Oscar actor. Has his own production company, owns his own animation studio, has enviable talent and countless wealth, even an open girlfriend. They are all the diamonds from South Africa that are famous for their beauty.


    In the eyes of everyone, he relied on talent, hard work and struggle to achieve great success, even the "New York Times" called him on the front page of the headline, ¡®the most representative of American spirit and American culture! ¡¯


    Such a man who has almost the whole world. What do you want most now?


    "Mr. Ferguson, I believe you will definitely beat Arsenal."


    Walking out of the home team''s locker room, Ryan shook the hand of the red-faced old man, "Manchester United will definitely become the Premier League champion this season."


    "Thank you!"


    Alex Ferguson is very polite, after all, the two sides have reached an agreement in private, "I think Mr. Jenkins will like a championship club."


    Saying goodbye to Ferguson, the staff took Ryan into the VIP box at Old Trafford, where George was waiting bored with Taylor.


    "So what you are buying is a football club."


    After Ryan sat down, Taylor shook his head and sat beside him, "Ryan, don''t you think this is too far from London? I heard Emma say that Manchester is gone."


    "We bought football clubs, not cities."


    For the first time sitting on the court to look at Old Trafford, Ryan could not help but watched for a while, "Manchester United is famous enough to be the most suitable target."


    "I heard that Manchester United is the team with the most attention and fans in the United States?"


    Seeing Ryan a little surprised, the little girl stuck her tongue out and explained, "I was bored last night. I read the information George prepared."


    "Any thoughts?" Ryan rubbed her curly hair affectionately.


    "This team is so expensive!" Taylor opened his eyes wide, and said with emotion, "You are planning to pay a billion dollars, my God, how many planes can you buy?"


    "A billion dollars may not be available." Ryan shook his head slightly. "It is not easy to buy Manchester United."


    "Why?" Taylor asked in surprise. "Are you short of money?"


    "of course not."


    This kind of thing is difficult to say clearly, but Taylor has been looking at this side curiously, Ryan had to simply explain, "Now that foreign capital enters the Premier League, it is a more troublesome thing, I remember you met Rupert? Mo Doc?"


    "Ok!"


    After the little girl nodded, Ryan continued, ¡°A few years ago, his News Corporation wanted to buy Manchester United, but it was unanimously boycotted by Manchester United fans. In the end, Downing Street stopped the acquisition.¡±


    "Oh, the stubborn and rigid Englishman." The royal blue eyes rolled, and Taylor said suddenly, "but you are different, Ryan, isn''t Fleet Street saying that England is your second hometown? Maybe Manchester United The fans will accept you."


    "My dear, I do have an advantage over Murdoch."


    What those stubborn British fans are like, although I haven''t seen it with my own eyes, I have always heard of it in my previous life. "It is said that most of Manchester United''s largest fan organizations are over forty years old. They have no good feelings for me, a country boy from the United States."


    In fact, this is not the most troublesome, the most troublesome is that these die-hard fan organizations hold a considerable amount of Manchester United shares.


    That''s good, I just want to make this acquisition case uproar, it''s best to make fans take to the streets, and Tangning Street 10 intervenes.


    "Why do I think you are calculating people again?" After all, he grew up next to Ryan since childhood, and Taylor knew him too well. "Who will be unlucky this time?"


    Gently squeezed her little nose, Ryan didn''t say anything, now he only has less than 5% of the shares in his hand. It takes an uphill battle to win the Manchester United club.


    Fortunately, head coach Alex Ferguson, CEO Peter Kenyon and general manager David Gill have all reached an agreement with him and will secretly support this acquisition.


    To put it bluntly, if Ferguson is settled, Manchester United''s biggest problem will be solved.


    Manchester United now looks brilliant. In fact, the face is very big. As a fan in his previous life, Ryan is probably a little bit, and the coach Ferguson must know this.


    He is ready to carry out drastic reforms to Manchester United. Give up the British style of play, prepare to introduce technical players.


    Ryan promised him that as long as the acquisition is successful, the transfer fee will be nothing. Even Manchester United can take out most of the profits every year and bring in his favorite players.


    As for the related black gold rumors, Ryan will definitely be stationed in his own financial supervision.


    Moreover. Unlike the Glazer family, he does not need to rely on football to make money.


    "Wow, that number seven, that bald head..."


    As the two rows of players entered the court, Taylor exclaimed in excitement, "Is that David Beckham?"


    "My dear, I didn''t expect that you still know a star?" Ryan looked at him curiously, and the little girl wrinkled her nose. "Of course, although he is the only football star I know."


    This season''s Premier League has come to an end. Although I no longer care about football in this life, Ryan has made up for the relevant knowledge because of the relationship between watching the game today.


    Off the court are against Manchester United and arch rivals Arsenal. The former ranks first in the standings and the latter ranks second. It is a direct competitor to the championship.


    However, Arsenal are not doing well recently. As long as Manchester United wins this game, they can win the championship ahead of time, and the game on the field is also going on at this rhythm.


    This season can be regarded as the final swan song of the golden four midfielder peak moments, and the midfielder they led completely sifted Arsenal.


    Only 22 minutes into the game, York, one of the black winds, staged a hat-trick, and then Roy Keane and Solskjaer scored again, setting the score in the first half at five to one. .


    The key to the championship game has also completely lost suspense. At halftime, Manchester United fans have begun to celebrate in advance, and the Premier League will also usher in the first three consecutive championships.


    "It turns out that soccer is also very interesting." Taylor yelled with the crowd for a while, probably tired, and whispered after sitting back, "It''s not a game in which you can only score one or two goals in a game. what."


    "You will understand later." Ryan patted her on the shoulder, and football''s most utilitarian time was about to come.


    "I made a decision!"


    After a short break, Taylor stood up again, "If your acquisition succeeds, I will be a Manchester United fan in the future!"


    In this game, Manchester United eventually washed Arsenal six to one. Looking at the excited and enthusiastic fans, Ryan found that he could no longer find the passion of his previous life.


    I hope you can make a big noise during the acquisition!


    Muttering to the stands below, Ryan took the little girl who was screaming and hoarse, and left Old Trafford. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 496： American conspiracy

    After leaving Manchester, Ryan returned to London and sat in the Hilton Hotel, staring at his prey coldly with the team sent by Scott, and the "Red Football" company he established specifically for this acquisition, quietly Absorb the shares of Manchester United from the market.


    For many years, Manchester United has been a model for commercial development in the Premier League and even in European football. It has inspired countless people to imitate and learn from it. But it is this obvious commercial brand that determines the club will become some sports speculators. The goal, in a profitable situation, the power of capital is simply pervasive. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated fastest


    In 1999, under the recommendation of Alex Ferguson, the two Irish horse racing tycoons Magnier and McManus began to acquire Manchester United and soon became the club¡¯s number one shareholder. The two people who achieved the goal also showed Out of the ruthless side of capital turning face.


    The conflict between them and Alex Ferguson gradually emerged. In order to suppress Ferguson¡¯s position in the club and to ensure their own investment, they raised 99 questions. They directly pointed to the various questions of Ferguson and the Manchester United management, and even got the head coach involved. The black gold scandal.


    In fact, just like Hollywood, black gold is a well-known unspoken rule in the football circle, and the most direct result of these things on the table is that they have become public enemies from fans to clubs to English football.


    As for the authenticity of the black gold rumors, it is obviously not important anymore.


    In fact, Magniel and McManus don¡¯t like football at all. The purpose of acquiring Manchester United¡¯s shares is very simple. It is to make money. From becoming shareholders of Manchester United until now, they have not even visited Old Trafford. One-minute game.


    Although the acquisition of Manchester United is also for a different purpose, Ryan feels that he is more suitable for Manchester United than them, because he has at least watched the entire game at Old Trafford.


    "Notify them, pay attention not to absorb more than 9.9% of the shares."


    Because the information must be released to the market once the holding reaches 10%, Ryan has been controlling the shares below 9.9% during the period before investing in Manchester United. "Also, how are the media preparations?"


    "As long as we need..."


    George coolly bounced Tyler who was circling him, "They will make the biggest objection."


    "Well, proceed as planned."


    Ryan nodded, pulled Tyler past, and carried her into the music practice room despite the little girl''s protest.


    In fact, from the beginning of 2001, Manchester United''s stock price began to rise, when Renmen only thought it was the result of the team''s record. But Brien¡¯s foundation and several informed shareholders of Manchester United have begun to absorb scattered stocks in the market to increase their bargaining chips.


    An American wants to acquire one of the most traditional and successful football clubs in England. The difficulty can be imagined.


    In the previous life, how many disturbances did Abramovich take over Chelsea and the acquisition of Manchester United by the Glazer family? How many twists and turns have been produced?


    The Premier League today is not the Premier League a few years from now. The traditional forces are more conservative and stubborn.


    Don''t look at the British people have been clamoring that Ryan can have today''s success. It is because they have experienced a long period of British education, but when they touch the so-called traditional dignity of those guys who are sensitive and arrogant, they will definitely throw away all the previous remarks.


    However, this is exactly the result he wanted. If this acquisition can cause trouble for the entire United Kingdom and even North America, then that would suit him.


    Some people are waiting for the opportunity, Ryan will give them a most suitable phone meeting.


    The conflict between Manchester United''s management and the Irish is sharp, and Ryan''s intervention made them realize that this is a good opportunity to fight the Irish. David Gill came to the Hilton Hotel in London several times, tactfully encouraging Ryan to accelerate the pace of acquiring Manchester United, the wealth of more than 15 billion US dollars on the Forbes rich list. Become a source of their confidence.


    "We look forward to a person who really loves football to control the Manchester United club." This is what David Gill said in a meeting.


    In May 2001, three days after Manchester United won the Premier League title in advance, Ryan''s "Red Football" company once again increased its holdings of Manchester United by more than 10%, and at the same time officially announced this information to the market.


    The market¡¯s reaction is fairly calm. After all, this share does not even rank among the top three shareholders of Manchester United. It¡¯s just that many people don¡¯t understand when this superstar, who has always developed in the entertainment and media industries, is interested in football. Up?


    Well, he sang "Cup of Life" a few years ago, which is one of the best football songs.


    But then? He doesn''t seem to appear in football-related occasions again, right? Could it be...


    Just a day later, the "Red Football" company once again released information, announcing that it had reached an agreement with the two Manchester United shareholders, McManus and Magnier, to buy 28.7% of their shares. The total price of the transaction reached 210 million pounds.


    At this point, Ryan has 38.8% of Manchester United shares in his hands and has become the club''s largest shareholder.


    According to relevant laws and regulations, 30% is the approaching point of investing in listed companies. Once this number is exceeded, the intention of the acquisition must be indicated to shareholders.


    When the fan organization had no time to react, it received even more shocking news from the capital of the United States wanting to buy Manchester United in its entirety!


    The Kingdom of Great Britain has long since fallen. Although the British do not want to admit it, the world''s largest power is on the other side of the Atlantic. This is the consensus of the world.


    The British and Americans are notorious for their inconsistency, and in front of those hillbillies, the only capital they can be proud of is tradition.


    Football is also one of the traditions of this country. Now there is an American who wants to buy Manchester United? Do they know how to play football?


    Although the movies that the man created and starred in are very popular with them, movies and football are two different things!


    When there was a conflict between entertainment and football, Manchester United¡¯s backbone fan organization chose football without hesitation.


    In Manchester United¡¯s home games at the weekend, winning early is no longer the theme of the stadium. The slogans and slogans of rejecting Ryan Jenkins¡¯s acquisition and driving American capital out of Old Trafford have become the loudest voice on the stadium.


    Even Lineker, who served as a guest commentator, criticized Manchester United¡¯s approach, believing that it would lose the tradition of English football and bring a bad atmosphere to the Premier League. He even vaguely criticized Ryan, saying that he should return to Hollywood and the suburbs of London. The set continues to shoot movies, and as a layman, you should not arbitrarily intervene in professional football.


    The tradition of English football?


    In this case, Ryan would never go to the scene to watch football. After hearing Lineker''s words from live TV, he couldn''t help thinking about the fine traditions of English football for a long time.


    Alcoholism, fights, low professional qualities, wives who specialize in teammates and friends, and the ¡®Europe¡¯s Chinese team¡¯ that loses chains at critical moments. It seems that these are the fine traditions of English football, right?


    After another Monday arrived, Fleet Street made the most violent response. The British media represented by the "Daily Mail", no longer caring about the so-called second hometown, criticized it on important pages. In the acquisition case, several of the newspapers also published more detailed content.


    "Ryan Jenkins is a movie star first, and an investor second. He has never been a Manchester native, and will never be a Manchester native. His goal of investing in Manchester United is no different from the original investment in Yahoo. It is nothing more than profit. , Think about it, when Yahoo encountered a crisis last year, he did not hesitate to abandon Yahoo. What if Manchester United encountered difficulties? He bought Manchester United just because he wanted to do his speculation through the club!"


    This is an article in a local newspaper in Manchester, and the "Daily Mail", which has ¡®digged¡¯ the exclusive news, disclosed many so-called inside stories.


    "As far as we know, Manchester United fans are facing the danger of splitting. Those young fans have a large number of Ryan Jenkins fans. Perhaps they think that with Ryan¡¯s tens of billions of dollars, the acquisition of Manchester United may not be necessary. It''s a bad thing. After the acquisition, he may pay a large transfer fee to bring more stars to the club."


    "We want to remind these people that Ryan Jenkins is indeed worth a lot, but 99% of his worth is equity and fixed assets. With Manchester United''s worth of more than 700 million pounds, he will definitely not be able to spend such a large amount. A working capital."


    "This newspaper has already got the exact news. Ryan Jenkins can only spend 200 million pounds for this acquisition in the short term, and he is bound to adopt a leverage acquisition strategy. He only needs to use a small amount of capital as the basis~www.novelhall. com~ then raises and borrows sufficient funds from investment banks or other financial institutions for the acquisition, and then repays debts with the income of the Manchester United club after the acquisition, so that he can make large profits with very little capital, while the Manchester United club To carry a huge amount of debt from now on, and the slightest emergence of business, you will face the danger of bankruptcy!"


    Later, another newspaper issued evidence that JPMorgan Chase Bank was raising related acquisition funds for Ryan Jenkins, and then another newspaper stabbed that a Wall Street company specifically involved in acquisitions, as a think tank, planned this leverage for Ryan Jenkins. Acquisition case.


    After these related reports appeared, it instantly ignited the emotions of Manchester United fans. Various protests appeared on the streets of Manchester. Several fan organizations jointly stated that if Ryan''s acquisition is successful, the old Trafford Stadium There will be no more fans in the stands, and they will never let Manchester United become his plaything and money-making tool.


    Not only the fans of Manchester United, but also many fans in London made protests, and many even surrounded the Hilton Hotel, chanting protest slogans.


    Compared with the loss of Manchester United management, Houston, another major shareholder of Manchester United, said that he would work with other shareholders to stop the American conspiracy, "We will be more united, let Ryan Jenkins his approach will not succeed." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 497： Working capital

    Combining many factors, Fleet Street has been catching on this topic for non-stop hype, of which it must be mainly criticized. By the end of the Premier League this season, Ryan has gone from being a very popular figure in the British media to being a member of the media. The nasty black-hearted investor in the United States.


    Under their stimulation, the voices and activities of Manchester United fans'' boycotts were wave after wave. Several thousands of Manchester United fans suddenly appeared in front of the Hilton Hotel, blocking the front and back doors of the hotel and preventing him from entering or exiting.


    The most unlucky thing is the villas in Kensington. According to the response of the housekeeping company in charge, hundreds of garbage are thrown into them every day. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated fastest


    Some British football stars have also come forward. Bobby Charlton said that Manchester United does not need capital from outside the British Isles.


    The elder Redknapp said that the Premier League is a British-led game, and the Americans had better not get involved.


    These celebrities undoubtedly gave a huge encouragement to the fan organization. They later gathered in Ryan''s residence and outside Manchester United''s office to protest several times, saying that even if the management decides to sell Manchester United, they will not transfer their Manchester United shares.


    However, unlike the voices of opposition from the sky, Manchester United from the players to the management has never made any remarks on this matter, temporarily in a state of silence.


    In late May, the media disclosed once again that Red Football reached an agreement with Houston and other Manchester United shareholders to purchase their shares at a premium.


    At this point, Ryan''s holdings of Manchester United shares have increased to 62%, which is already a very dangerous number for Manchester United fans and the traditional die-hards in England.


    According to the trading rules of listed companies, as long as they hold more than 75% of the shares, Ryan can withdraw Manchester United from the stock market, forcing fans to sell their small equity, and turning Manchester United from a listed company into a private asset.


    Previously, shareholders who vowed to oppose the intervention of American capital, backhandedly sold their shares. This makes Manchester United fans extremely indignant. Many of them have a certain degree of influence. While denying the traitors, they embarked on the road they had to choose and asked the British government for help.


    In their eyes, amidst the criticism from the media, this is a hostile takeover. As long as Downing Street confirms this, it can stop the takeover.


    Some media represented by the "Daily Mail" jumped out again. It claimed that ¡®Red Football Company is just a shell company, and there are many accounts and cash flows, and relevant agencies should intervene in investigations¡¯.


    There is never a lack of geographic protection in this world. The British government soon announced that it would conduct a related review of this acquisition...


    However, the other side of geo-protection also flashed out. The constant criticism of Fleet Street completely caused dissatisfaction in the North American media, from the original sporadic mocking of the British conservative. It turned into a wide-area open fire.


    ¡°We don¡¯t understand why a normal business operation aroused such dissatisfaction from the British? Do they think that Ryan is really a poor boy from the countryside? The so-called adherence to tradition is just that they are jealous and immersed. It¡¯s just an excuse in the past."


    "The British have nothing but ridiculous traditions. There is nothing left."


    "Hey, Brits, wake up from the glory of the British Empire, Ryan Ken''s acquisition of the English Football Club. You should feel honored, because with him, your Premier League will definitely receive more attention."


    Fortunately, most of the newsletters are tabloids. After all, the mainstream media has to worry about face. Apart from the veiled statement that ¡®the British side has not considered this acquisition¡¯ and ¡®this is a normal business practice¡¯, they rarely make excessively violent remarks.


    However, this acquisition is thoroughly well-known in the United States.


    The youngest Oscar actor in history is preparing to raise more than one billion U.S. dollars to acquire the most successful football club in the mouth of the British. It is difficult not to attract people.


    In particular, Ryan¡¯s past acquisitions have always brought huge profits to itself. Many group companies and investment institutions can¡¯t help but start an analysis. Could it be that the net worth of football clubs will soar in a few years?


    Both Hollywood and Wall Street have paid great attention to this acquisition.


    In the latest issue of "Vanity Fair" and "Wall Street Journal", both the purpose of this acquisition and Ryan were analyzed in detail, and at the same time, a conclusion was reached that leveraged buyout is the smartest way to choose. Under the normal operation of the company, Ryan Jenkins was unable to raise a huge amount of liquidity of more than one billion US dollars in a short period of time.


    At the same time, they pointed out that this is a very normal business operation, and the UK should not use government actions to interfere with the market, otherwise it will definitely affect the confidence of Hollywood and Wall Street in the UK market.


    Hidden in the Hilton Hotel, Ryan and the Murdoch couple had an encrypted phone call. After the two parties verbally reached a stock exchange agreement for some of the Blue Sky Studios, they became an alliance with many common interests.


    Subsequently, under the secret intervention of No. 10 Downing Street, relevant British agencies announced that there was no illegal act in this acquisition.


    The legality of the acquisition is affirmative.


    Not to mention the activities that exist behind the scenes, Scott and Wilson Jr. and related Wall Street companies have formulated a detailed plan for this acquisition. If there is a legal aspect, hundreds of professionals can climb the twin towers and go Waiting for the arrival of September 11.


    The rulings of government agencies obviously cannot satisfy the fans. In fact, in the final analysis, apart from the inability to accept Americans as the owners of their own clubs, responsible management is definitely another major factor.


    Maybe it was because thousands of fans protested in front of the club every day, or maybe it was inspired by other parties. The management of Manchester United finally made a formal statement about the acquisition. If the leveraged acquisition is unavoidable, they will collectively after the acquisition. resignation.


    Pressure from sponsors also followed. Nike and Vodafone have stated that if Manchester United are operating with huge debts, they will reconsider the remaining sponsorship contracts.


    Faced with such a situation, Ryan issued a series of statements that conformed to the hearts of the people. His spokesperson announced at the latest press conference that the "Red Football" company will abandon the acquisition of leverage. Ryan will take advantage of the situation. Raise funds to complete the acquisition.


    The reporters from Fleet Street didn''t seem to buy it, and they questioned it.


    "If the acquisition of the remaining shares is completed and the existing debt is repaid, at least 500 million pounds will be needed. Can Ryan now come up with this money?"


    No one here is a fool. Net worth and working capital are completely different things.


    "This is not what you should care about."


    Soon after the press conference, there was news that Ryan was reducing shares in several companies in his hands in order to cash out the stock market and complete the acquisition of Manchester United as soon as possible.


    However, Manchester United fans are still resisting, and Fleet Street is still full of firepower. Ryan seems to be caught in a quagmire of acquisitions, which is still locked in a huge amount of money that cannot be shaken off in the short term.


    "I don''t believe you have no money."


    On the plane back to Los Angeles, Tyler put his arms around his chest and looked at this side deliberately, "My dear brother Ryan, what are you doing?"


    No money? Ryan stayed quiet, so what about keneng.


    Except for a small part of the profits made on the stock market last year, except for investment, the remaining tens of billions of dollars were distributed to different hidden foundations. Although these funds are not the only back-end, they are definitely effective when used at critical moments. will be better.


    "Dear¡­¡­"


    Gently squeezed her face. In view of the little girl¡¯s good performance during this period, Ryan said, ¡°Sometimes, putting yourself on the edge of a cliff is more likely to cause an enemy¡¯s attack, and once the shrinking enemy takes the initiative, it¡¯s definitely It will reveal its own flaws."


    "It''s complicated." The little girl simply lay on the table.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    The headquarters of Walt Disney in Burbank, in several high-level office areas, the atmosphere is quiet and tense, and the staff passing by are all in a hurry. In recent months, their workload has increased sharply, but it is very Few people complain, everyone, now is a crucial moment for Walt Disney to reverse the decline of animated films since "The Lion King".


    In the closed conference room on the top floor, Michael Eisner deliberately convened the board of directors to discuss the current countermeasures, or more precisely, how to promote his chairman and will.


    The discussion about the Pixar studio has temporarily come to an end. This is an acquisition that concerns the interests of everyone present. Even Roy Disney, the biggest opponent in the past, chose to acquiesce in most of his actions.


    The animation department is very important to the entire Disney group. All Walt Disney¡¯s business films, television, theme parks and consumer products must all be driven by the animation business. Only with animation programs can all business departments be driven through the brand value chain. Global revenue growth However, the hand-drawn animation that Disney is good at has declined. There has been almost no progress in the development of 3D computer animation. Even a few months ago, at an animation exhibition in Los Angeles, the director of Disney We found sadly that the most popular images in North America in the past five years have been mostly animated images produced by Pixar, and even the recently established DreamWorks animation studio has walked in front of them.


    To revive Disney Animation, acquiring Pixar is the easiest and most suitable way.


    "According to the exact information we got." Michael Eisner''s assistant said of the Manchester United incident that Disney''s board of directors has been paying attention to. "Because the acquisition of Manchester United was temporarily frustrated, Ryan Jenkins has returned to North America, and most of his flow Funds are being held on this project. The news from Wall Street shows that a small number of shares of Blizzard and Blue Sky Studios are indeed appearing on the market. Scott Swift is also traveling among several Jewish groups on Wall Street. Go, you should be selling stocks for cash."


    "Also..." Michael Eisner added, "In the past year, he has invested heavily in eBay, Amazon and Google through personal investment. From the current troubled acquisition of Manchester United, It is not difficult to see that his hands certainly did not threaten the liquidity of our plan." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 498： Double pressure

    Since the emergence of sharp rumors of contradictions between Pixar¡¯s management and major shareholders, Pixar¡¯s stock has stopped rising against the trend. In the subsequent unfavorable news, the stock price has slowly fallen. Although sudu is not very fast, it has fallen. The trend is very obvious. It seems that this newly emerging animation giant has encountered huge obstacles to its development.


    However, in May, a large number of buying orders suddenly appeared on the market, and Pixar''s stock price rose accordingly.


    Not long after, Walt Disney, one of Pixar''s minority shareholders, announced that Pixar''s shares in his hands exceeded 10%. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated fastest


    By now, anyone who has studied Hollywood and the film industry will understand what Disney''s ultimate goal is!


    On the first Monday that came in June, Walt Disney officially issued a bona fide M&A invitation to Pixar Studios. After the news came out, it immediately shocked Hollywood.


    In the eyes of most people, Michael Eisner is absolutely crazy. Pixar Studios is indeed the most urgently needed supplement for Disney. However, the contradiction between him and Pixar¡¯s largest shareholder Ryan Jenkins, how many in the industry are there? Personal not?


    Will keneng succeed if we openly initiate a well-intentioned M&A like this?


    Some industry veterans who are good at analysis have realized another point. Disney dared to do so, and it must have reached some unknown agreement with Pixar''s senior management.


    People who think they know the inside story believe that Disney chose to announce before the Pixar shareholders meeting. They are absolutely sure. Ryan Jenkins is now in the quagmire of the Manchester United acquisition. If Michael Eisner really does Pixar¡¯s Other high-level officials, what did he use to fight Disney?


    Of course, if an agreement cannot be reached with Ryan Jenkins, a good faith merger is just a joke.


    The so-called Pixar shareholders meeting, not many people attended, except for Ryan and other Pixar personnel, they are representatives of certain investment institutions on Wall Street and a few retail investors who have no right to speak. And Michael Eisner, the representative of the shareholder Disney!


    In the past shareholders'' meetings of all companies, Ryan was almost always attended by proxies. After all, this time it is of great importance.


    He sat at the long conference table, his eyes drifting from Nicole secretly, and the Australian girl seemed to be the same as before, pale without any expression.


    Like all shareholder meetings, the current Ed Kamel is the presiding officer of the meeting. The routine procedures are one after another. After the management personnel submit reports on finances and new film projects, the meeting naturally came to the most. Important topics.


    "Pixar has an advantage in computer animation..."


    The person speaking is Michael Eisner. He strongly advocated the benefits of Pixar joining the Disney Group, "Disney has marketing channels and related industry chains that Pixar does not have. We will strive to build the Pixar brand globally... This is a combination of strong forces..."


    The work that should be done has actually been done in private, Michael Eisner¡¯s point, and Ryan''s point.


    Unfortunately, if Disney really wants to swallow Pixar completely, then there must be enough reasons and costs to impress him.


    If they just want simple holdings, that would be troublesome, but with Michael Eisner''s character and style. How is this keneng?


    How eagerly Disney wants to get Pixar, he naturally knows that he has related memories of previous lives. In order to maximize profits, Walt Disney will certainly not only want to get a controlling stake. It will definitely make Pixar a wholly-owned subsidiary!


    Just as Ryan was thinking about this, the shareholders present had already started voting.


    "I agree!"


    One of the founders of Pixar, Ed Kamel and John Lasseter, nodded successively, and then Andrew Stanton and Peter Dougert, the two core of Pixar, also agreed to Disney''s merger proposal.


    All this is clearly shown, as in all mergers and acquisitions. Prior to the general meeting of shareholders, the acquirer had already done a lot of work in private for a long time and must have reached relevant agreements with these core personnel of Disney.


    Several retail investors also expressed support, although their shares and opinions are negligible.


    "we¡­¡­"


    Those who represent Wall Street investment institutions. After discussing in a low voice for a while, he glanced at Ryan who was sitting alone at the conference table, "We agree!"


    Michael Eisner¡¯s smile on the corners of his mouth is getting thicker. It¡¯s not easy to get this group of vampires in private. Those on Wall Street, who can bring them more benefits, and who they will definitely support. !


    Things were going almost in the direction he preset. Michael Eisner looked at Ryan and seemed very calm, only the twinkling eyes showed the surprise and surprise.


    What''s more unexpected is yet to come!


    He couldn''t help looking at Nicole Kidman in the position of chairman. As long as she expressed her position, the shares supporting Disney would have an absolute advantage.


    "I agree!"


    This is obviously because the woman''s voice is extremely cold and does not entrain any emotions.


    Ryan turned to Nicole, with a slightly opened mouth and wide-open eyes with unconcealed surprise.


    There were also those who were not aware of the surprise. The incredible expressions on their faces were instantly taken away. Several retail investors couldn''t help thinking, could it be said that Ryan really wanted to sell Pixar?


    Seeing the unconcealed astonishment of the other party, Michael Eisner suddenly felt relaxed. From 1995 to the present, the evil anger he had accumulated in his heart was finally let out part of it.


    There must be only part of it. His current target is Pixar, and there is a long list behind it, such as Jenkins Pictures...


    Looking at it from Michael Eisner¡¯s perspective, Nicole Kidman¡¯s eyes drooped, as cold as ice, two rows of silver-white teeth are biting her lower lip tightly, as if she could not bear it, it was more like hate. .


    If it is not for the wrong occasion and self-reliance, Michael Eisner really wants to laugh, what can be more destructive than the betrayal of the closest person?


    "I..." Ryan took a deep breath, seeming to be calm again, "I disagree!"


    Everyone''s eyes fell on Ryan. This answer couldn''t answer Michael Eisner''s expectation. If Ryan Jenkins could be dealt with in such a simple way, it would be too small to look down upon him.


    "I''m going back to prepare for the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings"." Ryan stood up suddenly and took a deep look at Nicole. "Let''s stop here today..."


    Talking. He turned to Michael Eisner, nodded slightly, but said nothing.


    "It''s more laborious than starring in "The Pianist"!"


    Thinking about this, Ryan left Pixar¡¯s office building and walked towards Jenkins Pictures not far away.


    Before he could go far, George¡¯s mobile phone rang. After Mr. Bodyguard answered the call, he handed it over, "Michael Eisner."


    This world is always so wonderful, the former partners of cooperation have turned against each other because of their interests. And because the interests are closely linked together.


    "Ryan, can you talk in private?"


    Listening to the complacent voice on the phone, Ryan''s mouth was filled with imperceptible sarcasm, "Michael, do you think...is this necessary?"


    "It must be resolved. If you continue to hurt Pixar, you will lose your interests."


    "Then... well, there is an old cafe behind Jenkins Pictures."


    Back at Jenkins Pictures, Ryan asked about the preparations for the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings". Then I came to the old cafe. When I walked in, Michael Eisner was already waiting there.


    The owner of the coffee shop is a smart man, after having coffee. He took the initiative to hide behind.


    "Ryan..."


    Sitting at the coffee table, Kerr Eisner looked reminiscent of the past, or the gesture of a winner, "How many years have we sat together and drank coffee?"


    "After 95 years."


    What time. Ryan has a good grasp of what kind of occasion and what should be done in line with his identity and interests. He looked at the Disney Tyrant on the opposite side, "It should be in your office at that time, discussing the adaptation of "Game of the Brave"."


    Then he shook his head, "Michael, let''s just say something."


    "Transfer your equity in Pixar to Disney." Michael Eisner directly stated his purpose.


    "Do you think there is this kind of keneng?" Ryan suddenly smiled, with a slight sarcasm in it, "If this is the case, we don''t have to talk about it."


    "Ryan, you are a smart man." After taking a sip of coffee, Michael Eisner said unhurriedly, "Presumably you should be able to see that, including Nicole and Ed, they have already A preliminary transfer agreement was reached with Disney. Even without your 42% of the shares, Disney can still obtain a controlling stake."


    "You want more than a controlling stake." Hearing Nicole''s name, Ryan''s hand gripped the coffee cup tightly, and the protruding knuckles were slightly white.


    Michael Eisner smiled and deliberately eased the suddenly tense atmosphere, "I admit this, but don''t forget, you have no liquid funds now. What are you going to use against Disney? Or do you want to give up Manchester United? That 62% of the shares will not find a successor in a short time, right? 500 million pounds is a big sum, and Disney can provide you with this money..."


    "About Nicole, I''m sorry." Before Ryan could speak, he continued, "I believe you will definitely not make her the target of criticism in the United States? That would be too cruel to a woman..."


    Both sides are smart people, some things needless to say are too clear.


    The sky-blue eyes narrowed into a line, and Ryan was like a beast whose head was chosen and devoured. In the end, he slowly released the hand holding the cup more than that. "Michael Eisner is like a hunter playing with prey, and he threw a series of words, "Ed Camel, John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Peter Dougert, they have already I have reached an agreement. If the merger fails, Disney will completely abandon Pixar and buy out the contract for them. They will join the Disney Animation Department. I believe that with their status and relationship, the core personnel who are willing to follow them to join Disney will certainly Not in the minority..."


    "Even... it will be more than half!" Michael Eisner pressed forward step by step, "Is Pixar still Pixar without these people? Then Pixar''s stock price will fall to the bottom, how much is your share worth?"


    The previous Feng Rui disappeared without a trace, and Ryan fell completely into silence.


    "Think about it, Ryan."


    Michael Eisner walked out of the cafe, the evening sun was as brilliant as never before, and the office building of Jenkins Pictures on the opposite side was full of attraction.


    He believes that Ryan will make a wise choice in the face of the dual pressure of feelings and interests. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 499： The strongest summer movie

    How can everyone betray their relatives?


    The current situation of Ryan seems to confirm this in the eyes of outsiders. With the exception of small retail shareholders such as Drew, who are completely negligible, it seems that everyone at Pixar has abandoned him and invested in Disney''s embrace.


    Because of the uncertainty in the follow-up, both sides remained silent for the time being. Apart from being a little surprised by Nicole Kidman¡¯s choice, those in the know were not surprised. After all, this is the most realistic Hollywood. The benefits that can be brought must be greater than that of a young man in his early twenties. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated fastest


    The media on both sides of the Atlantic are still hyping the Manchester United acquisition. Several fan organizations that hold shares in Manchester United have publicly stated that they will never sell their shares. After the Red Football company announced its abandonment of leveraged buyouts, its actions have also slowed down. Obviously Insufficient funds.


    Everything shows that Ryan has fallen into a huge acquisition quagmire and is unable to get rid of it in a short period of time.


    As for Michael Eisner''s proposal, although Ryan wants to transfer the equity in his hand to Disney, in terms of method and time, he will never follow the other party''s expected thinking.


    A successful animation company is too important to Disney. Michael Eisner kidnapped Disney''s board of directors. Ryan will use the same method to promote the following plan.


    In the face of large enough interests, will they abandon Michael Eisner?


    This is not anxious, even if you want to oust Michael Eisner, you still need a vote of no confidence in the Disney shareholders meeting.


    He is waiting. He has reserved a lot of backhands. Google, which has more funds than today, has developed sudu faster, and has attracted the coveting of Wall Street. His team and Wall Street investment institutions that are eager to get a share are actively planning Google¡¯s listing. .


    After meeting with Michael Eisner, Ryan temporarily put these aside, after all, as one of the highlight of this year, "The Lord of the Rings" is about to be released.


    After the film entered June, it began a wide range of publicity and hype. Although a lot of plot changes have led to some **** book fans claiming to boycott the movie, the vast majority of book fans said that they would go to the theater to watch the movie because they believe that Ryan will never bring a bad movie. .


    In fact, since the release of the trailer, the magnificent scenery and fantasy colors have attracted a lot of attention. Some critics even believe that this movie will become the biggest box office winner this year.


    In addition to the boss, Ryan, the chief creators of the crew including Peter Jackson. Recently, he has frequently appeared in major media, using his own skills to promote this magical masterpiece.


    Of course, Charlize Theron is not among them.


    Since the filming of "The Devil" in May, this beautiful diamond has been devoted to the work of restoring the body in strict accordance with the plan made by the nutritionist and the shaper.


    No matter what kind of woman she is, she doesn''t want to really become a devil.


    Before leaving the fitness room and coming out of the locker room, Charlize admired his body in front of the full-length mirror. After nearly a month of hard work, he almost completely restored his original figure.


    Putting on her formal attire, she went downstairs to the living room, where Ryan was chatting with Drew Barrymore who came to visit.


    "Hey. Charlie." Drew beckoned to her, "You recovered so quickly, is there any secret?"


    With a friendly smile, Charlize sat beside Ryan.


    Listening to the two women discussing how to stay in shape, Ryan simply closed his mouth, in his opinion. Drew''s figure is almost hopeless.


    With the increase of age, the signs of Drew''s blessing become more and more obvious. In fact, it is normal. This is a common problem for people who have successfully detoxified.


    "No way..." Drew pointed to his puffy eye bags and said helplessly, "I have been busy with the post-production of "Charlie Girl 2" recently. The production cost of this film alone has reached 100 million US dollars. If I fail, I will not lose a villa, I will really go bankrupt."


    "The house hasn''t been settled yet?" Ryan asked concerned.


    "I don''t want the original house anymore." Drew sighed, "I can''t find a suitable place for the time being, so I have to live in the Four Seasons Hotel first."


    "Sell the original place." Both parties are old friends for nearly ten years, and Ryan is not polite. "By the way, throw away all the bad memories."


    In fact, in recent years, this inconspicuous guy in his life has been a lot more serious. He started dating a little actor named Tom Green more than a year ago, and got married in December last year. After marriage, Drew completely followed his former actor. The female partner severed the relationship and showed determination to run a family well.


    In this regard, Spielberg also sighed that his goddaughter has finally grown up.


    However, bad luck has always enveloped the Barrymore family like a curse. Tom Green suffered from bladder cancer. Fortunately, it was not serious, and he recovered his health under Drew''s careful care.


    Just when the media and Hollywood believed that Drew had found his true life, a ruthless fire destroyed all of this.


    Just a few months ago, Drew had a fire in his three million-dollar mansion in Beverly Hills. It was late at night when Drew and Tom Green were sleeping without even noticing that they had a pet dog. He rushed into the bedroom and awakened the two people, and then he was out of danger in time.


    The fire caused no casualties, but burned down the house, burned down their home, and burned the remaining feelings of the two.


    Last month, Drew Barrymore and Tom Green formally agreed to divorce, and then devoted themselves to work.


    "By the way, Ryan."


    After the two sides turned back to the film side, Drew remembered one thing, "I have bought the film adaptation rights for that book."


    "What book?" Charlize asked curiously.


    "A novel that won a Pulitzer Prize in 1999."


    Regarding Drew¡¯s ability at work, Ryan has always been relieved. At this time, he explained a few words to Charlize, "The Moment, the author is Michael Cunningham."


    "It''s the author who wrote "House of Doom"?" Charlize had obviously heard of him.


    "Ryan, he asked to participate in script writing." Drew Fang placed the coffee cup in his hand, "This is one of the conditions for getting the right to adapt the film."


    "The movie will be handed over to Flower Pictures." Looking at Charlize, Ryan raised his index finger to Drew and said solemnly, "Start preparations according to our predetermined plan."


    With the production of movies, one after another sold. Ryan is having more and more difficulties in obtaining the right to adapt other people''s works. Few people who can write published works are idiots. As long as Jenkins Pictures finds it, they will all offer a sky-high price.


    "Charlie, go to Rodel Street?"


    After talking about business, Drew stopped Charlize when he left, "It will be the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" soon, don''t you prepare a few more dresses for yourself and Ryan?"


    "Okay." Charlize responded.


    Although after moving here, the clothes are basically custom-made. But shopping and sweeping goods is undoubtedly a big pleasure for women.


    The hot summer season has already kicked off. The most anticipated movie at the moment is none other than "The Lord of the Rings", but the competition for this time period is extremely fierce.


    Broadly speaking, the summer vacation in North America can count May. Among the movies released in May, "The Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution" is the most important production.


    Because of being in England and other factors at the time, Ryan did not attend the premiere of the film. This film can be said to have swept the May schedule, although the box office in the first week still did not break the $100 million mark that the outside world expected. . But the achievement of more than 90 million US dollars is enough to make the producers and distributors celebrate.


    To put it bluntly, the word-of-mouth of the movie is worse than one, but the box office is better than one. In just six weeks, the film won over 200 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America, successfully surpassing "Man Hundred Percent" and became the highest-grossing film this year.


    Nicole has two consecutive movies released. The North American box office has exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars, once again proving its unparalleled appeal in commercial films.


    At the beginning of June, another super production landed in North America. This is the war epic "Pearl Harbor" that DreamWorks has placed high hopes on. The production and promotion costs are as high as $200 million.


    According to DreamWorks¡¯ estimates, the North American box office of this movie is at least comparable to "Saving Private Ryan". In fact, the film performed well in the first week. The North American box office number of 75.17 million became the second highest this year. Box office in the first week.


    Corresponding to the box office, but the movie''s reputation is extremely poor.


    Vocabulary such as ¡®Fan Shan can be Chen¡¯, ¡®light and tasteless¡¯, and ¡®loose and banal¡¯ are the common views of almost all film critics, and even the "Washington Post" directly gave the film a "boring!" Boring! Boring! The alias of ", reminds the audience to choose a seat next to the aisle when entering the venue, because they have to go to the toilet at least twice when watching the film.


    With the development of information and the increasing freedom of the Internet, professional film reviews and media word-of-mouth have less and less influence on the box office of movies. Even if the film critics criticize the movie as worthless, as long as the audience finds it interesting, they will still choose this one. the film.


    The biggest thing about "Pearl Harbor" is while not discussing the critics¡¯ likes, but at the same time, it did not please the audience. That **** love triangle became the most criticized place, too long and dull plot. Seriously affected the viewing experience of ordinary audiences.


    This result brought a huge drop in the box office of the movie in the second week of the year, with only more than 29 million U.S. dollars in harvest, and it fell to more than 14 million in the third week...


    Regardless of the reputation of the movie, the three leading actors became the people who benefited the most, especially Kate Beckinsale, who unexpectedly became another English rose in the mouth of the media.


    No matter how you look at it, the box office of "Pearl Harbor" does not surpass that of "Saving Private Ryan". Some media can''t wait to compare this movie to Michael Bay''s Waterloo. DreamWorks'' ambitions have obviously been hit a little. , They are now busy with overseas release plans, hoping that this film can make a turnaround in the overseas market.


    As for the North American box office, DreamWorks obviously does not think it can make a difference, because it is about to face the strongest competitor this summer. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 500： Lord of the Rings Premiere

    "Hi, everyone, it''s been a long time."


    Quickly passing through the interview area, Ryan came to the huge poster and greeted Sean Bin, Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom, Ian McLean and others who gathered here, "The Ring Team It''s really a joy to regroup."


    "Oh, congratulations, my lord." Elijah Wood deliberately gave Charlize a fairy gift to Charlize who was holding Ryan, "King Elisa and Princess Arwen finally come together." "Fiction" Chapter of the novel Fastest update


    "Mr. Frodo Baggins." Charlize smiled very brightly, "Unfortunately there is no female hobbit for you now."


    "I believe Andy must like Ilya very much." Orlando Bloom pulled Andy Serkins, who played Gollum, towards him. "You guys are the best partners in the movie. I remember Andy wants to eat the most. Is it baking Frodo?"


    The surrounding Ryan and others laughed at the same time, which caused the nearby reporters to keep pressing the shutter.


    Unlike the previous life, this world¡¯s "Lord of the Rings" has Ryan and Charlize Theron''s participation. The cast is not only huge, but also star-studded. When taking photos regularly, it does not murder many reporters.


    "Peter, I have to say..."


    Walking into the Hollywood Chinese Theatre, Ryan came to Peter Jackson, "You did a great job, believe me, after this series, you will become the first-line director in Hollywood."


    Before the movie was released, there must be a trial meeting. He naturally saw the trial version.


    Peter Jackson nodded without humility, "I think so too."


    After speaking, laughed with Ryan.


    Because this is the first part of the trilogy, great efforts must be spent on publicity. In addition to the US$95 million in production costs, Ryan also prepared up to US$60 million in publicity and marketing costs for this film, which is so huge. His investment naturally made Peter Jackson feel the pressure.


    And after the screening, it came from the cinema and Ryan''s approval. Makes these pressures relieved a lot.


    Charlize was chatting with Peter¡¯s wife, Ryan walked around in the front hall and greeted the guests attending the premiere. In order to increase the film¡¯s appeal to fans of the original version, he even asked Tolkien¡¯s Later generations invited to participate in the premiere.


    In addition, before the movie was released, Ryan had asked the organization that managed Tolkien''s copyright to re-reach a copyright understanding to prevent some clowns from coming out to make trouble after the movie went viral.


    To be precise, this is a movie that belongs to men. The important female juese in the trilogy are Arwen, Iowen and Queen Galadriel.


    When passing by the two Australian actresses with blonde hair, Ryan first waved to Cate Blanchett, and then when he left, he approached Naomi Watts and said in a low voice, "Thank you." .


    Benefits can move people, and pure benefits may not have the upper hand in the face of benefits and friendship.


    "Ryan, I heard that the whole of England is disturbed because of you?"


    Finally, Ryan returned to the place where the creators of "Lord of the Rings" gathered, and Ian McLean joked casually. "So many British people protest, I hope it won''t affect the box office of this movie."


    "If the movie does not reach the expected box office in the UK..."


    Billy Boyd from Sogra has always been an activist, and he couldn''t help but come up with bad ideas, "Then let Ryan pay for it."


    "Gentlemen. Manchester United fans are only a minority to the entire British film market." Ryan didn''t care, waved his hand and said, "The UK is the home of the Lord of the Rings. As long as the movie is good enough, the box office is definitely not."


    In order to maximize profits, this film has almost achieved simultaneous release in the United Kingdom and the United States. "The Lord of the Rings" will officially land in the Kingdom of Great Britain starting tomorrow North American time.


    The adaptation of influential literary works into movies has been, is and will be one of the most important sources of Hollywood movies.


    Sitting in the theater and waiting for the movie to start, Ryan naturally thought about this.


    If ¡®films adapted from literary works¡¯ are divided into one category, the number of films included in this category will probably make the classification method meaningless.


    As the most dynamic entertainment product, Hollywood movies have always practiced ethics, and literary works have become inexhaustible and inexhaustible sources of materials, and writers are also happy to join the film industry as a huge and unforgiving big picture. Machines provide raw materials, because the rewards are so generous. Even those high-minded people who shout that art is more important than everything, how many can resist the temptation of huge returns?


    Not to mention "The Lord of the Rings" novels that have a huge influence in the West. Even the less successful literary works are favored by Hollywood. There are countless examples of novels or documentary works adapted into successful films.


    But things are not that simple. Unknown novels can be deleted and changed at will, and famous books must be cautious. For example, if Hamlet and Ophelia are made to grow old, some people will definitely devalue the movie.


    However, bringing literary works with a certain foundation to the big screen is undoubtedly a good way to reduce risks.


    In the last few years of the previous life, what was the biggest movie sold each year? Either a comic movie, or an adaptation of a fantasy or youth novel movie.


    Although these films are always criticized by so-called professional film critics, they believe that the entire world film market is degraded. The audience only understands low-level tastes, and they are the only group who really have the level of artistic appreciation.


    But these people have obviously forgotten that, as a cultural and entertainment product, movies are not a seller''s market for a long time. If they don''t even know how to cater to the most basic needs of the audience and the market, such movies should be shot and left for their own appreciation.


    Hollywood¡¯s first priority is always business, and European films advertised as ¡®art¡¯ are just one step away from death.


    Comic movies and youth idol movies can bring huge benefits. For Ryan, this is enough to make a choice.


    He already has Marvel comics for the former, and he is currently experimenting with the latter. For example, Scarlett Johansson¡¯s version of "The Princess Diaries" is currently being filmed, which is aimed directly at the consumer group of teenagers.


    If the plan is successful, Disney¡¯s experience in developing the youth market will further boost future earnings.


    In fact, since the end of last year, Jenkins Pictures has been talking about the film adaptation rights of the "Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe" series, because the other party''s asking price is too ridiculous and has not been negotiated.


    There are several other novels that are currently in contact with authors or copyright owners, but it is indeed difficult for Jenkins Pictures to get the right to adapt.


    Fortunately, the biggest disagreement is money, and there is room for discussion.


    Because teenagers are the main force in the consumption of movies and peripheral products, youth idol movies are undoubtedly a weapon for making money.


    What is the hottest youth idol movie in the past life? It seems to be a vampire who loves to die and a mocking bird who fights for freedom.


    Forget the "Twilight" series, it is a purely female work, and the protagonist of "The Hunger Games" is also a woman...


    Certain childhood memories appeared in Ryan''s mind. He vaguely remembered that when the "Resident Evil" novel was released, he specially asked to go to Japan to register "Battle Royale", and he has not heard of it in these years. Relevant names and content, so that if "The Hunger Games" is released in advance, there will be no more plagiarism.


    Of course, now that he is troubled with everything, he certainly doesn''t have so much time. The best way is to draw up an outline and find a gunner who signs with him.


    I vaguely remember that the original author seems to be Susan Collins. After the film is over, he will notify Garcia and ask him to send someone to find it.


    After the novel goes public, you can hire book critics to tout it, and it will be adapted into a movie after it has a certain influence, but Jennifer Lawrence should be younger than Taylor, right?


    I remember that Taylor also sang the first theme song, um... this series can perfectly match the growth of the little guy.


    "My dear, you are distracted again."


    Charlize Theron''s reminder voice came from nearby, "The movie is about to begin."


    "Some work matters." Ryan explained casually.


    As the lights went out, the theater quickly restored the quietness that one should have when watching movies. After a short opening on the big screen, the first thing that appeared was a narration.


    This narration about the history of the Lord of the Rings and the Middle-earth Continent comes from Queen Galadriel, who is Cate Blanchett.


    "The world has changed. I feel from the water, I touch from the earth, I smell from the air, many things in the past have been lost, and now no one remembers... In the land of Mordor, In the flames of the Doom Mountain, the Dark Lord Sauron secretly created a ring of dominance to control all the other rings. In this ring, he instilled his cruelty, he The evil, and the ** that he dominates all living beings..."


    "History has become a legend, and a legend has become a myth. For more than two thousand five hundred years, no one has learned of the whereabouts of the Lord of the Rings. Until the opportunity came, it tempted a new holder."


    The beginning is not only an introduction to history, but also a display of the movie. One of the scenes of the battle between humans and elves in Mordor is undoubtedly quite attractive, which can attract most of the audience and continue to sit in the theater and watch it.


    The beginning of a commercial movie is very important. If the beginning of the movie lacks the most basic plot that can seduce the audience to continue watching, this movie will be coldly received at the box office.


    The first part can be said to be a very critical one. It is undoubtedly important to make a good start. Book fans are only a small part of the audience. For most people, especially those who have never read Tolkien''s original works in non-European and American regions, please explain. The background becomes something that must be done but not easy to do.


    Although the way of voiceover is very vulgar, but the war that matches the big scene is enough to lift the appetite of the audience first. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 501： Fellowship Team

    For a magical epic film completely separated from the real world, the creation of the environment and the background is very important. Of course, the original "Lord of the Rings" needless to say. Tolkien even created Quenya to create the environment. It is said that Lucas also reads The idea of ??"Star Wars" came after the original work.


    This movie is undoubtedly a success. Although the plot that follows is a bit dull, it has the picturesque and peaceful Shire¡¯s pastoral scenery, and the dark, murderous and curious Minas Devil¡¯s Camp, and The dreamy and mysterious world of elves and so on.


    Even some dialogues mentioned a fire-breathing dragon named Smaug.


    These are enough to attract the audience to watch it patiently.


    Thousands of years have passed, and the dark lord Sauron is still in his shadow, intending to make a comeback. He gradually recovered his vitality and began to show himself. He wanted to regain the supreme lord of the ring, and learned the whereabouts of the lord from Gulu¡¯s mouth, and sent out the nine rings Ling went to the Shire, looking for the Hobbit named Baggins.


    Hobbits are innocent and innocent, they only like a simple and easy life. They happen to have natural resistance to the Lord of the Rings, while the ring bearer, Mr. Frodo Baggins, looks very useless in the movie. The protagonist, but the Lord of the Rings possesses great corrosion and temptation. Holding the Lord of the Rings is like picking up a nuclear bomb that will explode at any time.


    In fact, this is the most dangerous job.


    There have been some changes in the movie. For example, Gandalf came to Minas Tirith to search for information, and the lens deliberately gave a huge close-up that flashed past, showing the audience the majesty and grandeur of the human capital.


    This Baicheng, which was built with scenery and props, and later repaired with cg technology, really made countless audiences stare.


    Even if the movie is just beginning, all it shows are the top special effects technology.


    Gandalf confirmed the identity of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, so Frodo inevitably embarked on the path of fate and took Sam to escape from Hobbiton. Meet the old wizard at the Prancing Horse Hotel.


    Not to mention the dog-blood and the inability to look directly at the ring spirit and the hobbit chase, the dried tofu found the white robe Saruman, the head of the five great wizards, for help, but the leader of the holy white council was already determined. Be Sauron''s friend.


    In the original work, Saruman devoted himself to studying the technique of the Lord of the Rings. The deeper the research. The more he admired Sauron, the two of them almost ignited the spark of love. Later, he yearned for the Supreme Lord of the Rings, and even made some Lord Rings privately, but the "gard" was always defective.


    Dried tofu was imprisoned, and the hobbits who formed a four-base battle formation did not wait for the old wizard to come. But met a ranger.


    When the four hobbits appeared on the big screen, Charlize couldn''t help but laugh, he must have remembered something that happened during the filming.


    There are some extras from the Maori tribe who can''t distinguish the four people after putting on makeup. Billy Boyd summed it up for them.


    The wife who looks very good is Frodo, the uncle who is a big uncle is Sam, and the wife who is a big uncle is Piping. The uncle who looks good is Meili.


    Well, here, the long-awaited Ryan is on the stage, with a cigarette holder and a hood. It seems quite mysterious, but after saving the hobbits to protect them on the road, the audience suddenly discovered that this handsome and handsome superstar in reality, why is the role so sloppy and sloppy?


    Fortunately, there is no comparison yet, and the audience''s feeling is not particularly strong.


    On the other hand, dried tofu continued to admire the stars and the moon at the top of the Isengard Tower, but Saruman used the Lord of the Rings version of the video phone-Zhenzhi Jingzhu-to get in touch with Sauron and began to build a strong orc The army, in order to solve the fuel problem, ordered its subordinates to cut down and plunder the Fargon forest, but they did not know that they had offended the environmentalists who were hidden in it, and laid the groundwork for the subsequent destruction.


    Among the hobbits who formed the four-base battle formation, Meri and Pippin were definitely good players in causing disasters. They always used super powerful group mocking skills against all the creatures around them, so the ring spirits caught up to the top of the storm. The Angmar Witch King stabbed Frodo with a sword. If the assassin is not treated in time, he will also become a ring spirit...


    Oh, nine tall ring spirits are followed by a halfling ring spirit, which must be very interesting.


    Unfortunately, at a critical moment, Aragorn jumped out, holding a sword and a torch to single out the ring spirits.


    Here Aragorn has defeated several ring spirits, which may make many people who have not read the original think that Aragorn is very powerful. In fact, the ring spirits in the original work are just to stab Frodo and turn him into a ring spirit. It started to retreat, and Jie Ling was afraid of fire and water, and this scene appeared.


    Frodo was seriously injured and could sink into darkness at any time. Aragorn speeded up and rushed to Rivendell with the Hobbits. In order to relieve his injuries, he found Asiras.


    The Asiras Herb, the King¡¯s Herb, is not obvious in the movie. In the original work, Aragorn used Asiras to prove his identity as a king, because Gondor has a proverb, ¡°The king¡¯s hand is the medicine. hand".


    One of the places where the movie has changed the most from the original has arrived. In the original, Frodo is not picked up by Arwen, but a male elf named ¡®Grofindale¡¯.


    The Grofindale in the book is very powerful. He once killed a Balrog in ancient times, but he himself died. His soul returned to the land of the Western Gods, and returned to Middle Earth after being resurrected. Therefore, Grofindale was the only one who was resurrected. Elf coming back.


    In fact, the elves in the Lord of the Rings are not only immortal, but after death their souls will return to the main soul in charge of Amenzhou, waiting for the resurrection, so the elves are truly immortal and will be resurrected when they die.


    Arwen appeared with a specially created background and strong light. Charlize dressed as an elf was so beautiful that it was impossible to look directly at it.


    No wonder Ryan chose her...


    This is the emotion in the hearts of many viewers, and even those who have read the original, thought that these two people didn''t come together because they played couples in the movie, right?


    The beautiful female elf rushed to Rivendell with Frodo, but was chased by nine satyrs. After a gallop, the two sides shook each other across the river of spirits, facing the threats of the ring spirits, Ya Min launched a big move.


    Different from the previous movies, the river chosen here is wider. The ring spirits just rushed to the middle of the river, and a flood like a galloping horse pounced on them, rushing the ring spirits into the air.


    Although it has improved a lot from the bad lens of the previous life, the IQ of Ji Ling is still a negative number. He neither runs to the left nor flees to the right. He has to compare the speed with the flood...


    Rivendell, the residence of King Elron, retains the last good things of Middle-Earth, providing rest and comfort for the tired elves of Middle-Earth, where Aragorn¡¯s childhood was spent.


    Peter Jackson obviously spent a lot of effort here, and this beautiful land of elves is simply unstoppable.


    King Elron cured Frodo, Mr. Baggins Jr. saw his uncle and Gandalf who had escaped. The members of the Fellowship Team also jumped out one by one, which also involved the traditions of American movies. Values-the question of responsibility.


    Aragorn, played by Ryan, bears the brunt. For love, Arwen can give up immortality. In order to avoid the weakness inherited from the blood of Esidor, he chooses to temporarily self-exile.


    The king in the movie obviously needs something to find his true self and realize the return of the king!


    The smelly and long meeting in the original book kicked off. The ancient alliance is no longer there. Humans, elves, dwarves, and half-elves have quarreled together. Master Frodo Baggins, who was destined to be pitted, finally couldn¡¯t help it. Jumped into the pit.


    "I will use my life to protect your safety, I am willing to do so." Aragorn joined the ring team, "My sword will protect you!"


    "And my bow!"


    As soon as the handsome and handsome Legolas finished his voice, the dwarf Jinli spoke, "And my axe!"


    "Gondor will help!" This is Paramir.


    With the addition of the three hobbits who jumped out, the nine members of the Ring Squad are all here.


    In the original book, the most inconspicuous of the ring team is Legolas, which is what Tolkien himself said.


    But, after the ring team stood together, the male elves must be one of the most eye-catching people. After proper post-modification, he is so handsome.


    No wonder some comments in previous lives said that Legolas doesn''t need to do anything, as long as he poses with a bow and archery, it can drive a lot of box office.


    The expedition is bound to face fierce battles. Of course, good equipment is indispensable for fierce battles. Frodo obtained two pieces of epic equipment from Bilbo.


    An extremely sharp stinging needle, made by elves, will emit blue light when the orc approaches.


    Mithril armor is as light as a feather and as strong as a dragon scale. It has excellent ductility and metallic luster.


    According to Gandalf, such a Mithril armor can buy the entire Shire...


    By the way, Tony Stark''s clothes are not so expensive, right?


    The movie is too long Ryan will inevitably think about it. I don¡¯t know what the effect of using a needle to hack Mithril armor?


    The ring team officially set off, perhaps from the love of hometown, or perhaps it is to show the scenery of Middle-earth. There is a rule in the movie. As long as it is on the way, Peter Jackson will definitely show off the scenery of New Zealand.


    Saruman appeared gorgeously. He used a series of methods such as crows and lightning to hinder the advancement of the ring team, forcing them to choose the road of Moria Mine.


    In front of the entrance of Moria Mine, Meri and Pippin once again showed the essence of a mocking face. They threw stones into the water and woke up the lake monster. Frodo became a tragedy. Fortunately, everyone worked together to save him. Back, hid in the mine.


    However, the entrance of the mine was squeezed by the lake monster, and the ring guard team had no way out.


    The Moria Mine is very big, it takes four days to get to the other side, and there are many unknown terrifying creatures living in it. Far from being the dwarf paradise mentioned by Jinli, it is a veritable tomb. His cousin Bahrain is also Has long become a corpse in a sarcophagus. ()

 Chapter 502： Epic

    This movie represents the best special effects technology available today. The magnificent waves of the Moria Mine almost made the audience''s eyes wide open.


    For the faster and faster development of the Hollywood film industry, it seems that anything that stays on the imagination and on paper can be almost perfectly displayed on the big screen.


    It was a hobbit or a hobbit, and once again displayed the group mocking skills, which alarmed the terrifying creatures in the mine of Moria. In the helpless eyes of Aragorn and others, half-orcs and cave trolls attacked. ...


    The most intense fighting scene since the beginning of the chapter has begun. There are not too many half-orcs, obviously not the opponent of the ring team, but the terrifying creature of the cave troll is the deadly place.


    Open the bow, shoot the arrow, open the bow, continue to shoot, Legolas''s appearance and smart and changeable fighting style, he is destined to be the most eye-catching role in this battle.


    Aragorn is fulfilling his promise to protect Frodo with his life. However, he is an ordinary human, neither a born wizard nor a powerful elf. There is not much way to face the cave trolls. As a result, It was Frodo who was severely stabbed.


    Like all movies, once the companion encounters a crisis, the others will always be able to burst into combat power, so everyone works together to entangle the cave troll, and finally is shot by Legolas.


    The Mithril armor saved Frodo¡¯s life. The crowd couldn¡¯t relax. More half-orcs appeared and even surrounded them in the hall. The demon from ancient times dispelled the half-orcs. This head was in Gandalf¡¯s mouth. The flame demon that couldn''t be defeated at all became a new chaser.


    The tense atmosphere seemed to infect everyone, and the theater was silent.


    The picture has come to one of the first and most classic shots. Gandalf is standing on the bridge and singles out the Balrog.


    "I am the servant of the secret fire. The holder of the Arno flame." The old wizard''s body lit up with a silver-white light, like a legendary magic shield. "The dark fire can''t knock me down... "


    The secret fire is the sacred fire. In the original book, the only **** Iluvita used the secret fire to ignite the void to create the world. Create the gods from your own mind and ignite them with a secret fire.


    The flame of Arno can be understood as Naya, the ring of fire. Because Gandalf is the holder of the Ring of Fire.


    "You don''t want to pass!"


    With a loud shout, Gandalf broke the bridge. The flame demon fell into the endless abyss, but when everyone was relieved, the fire whip in the hands of the flame demon wrapped the old wizard''s legs and pulled him down together.


    The Fellowship team lost the wise man and the captain. But too late to grieve, Aragorn took over the burden of the leader and led others into the Golden Forest.


    The kingdom of Lothlorien, Golden Forest, Galadriel and Celeborn can be compared to Vera''s garden.


    The most powerful woman in Middle-earth must be this Arwen''s grandmother. In fact, the relationship between many characters in the original Lord of the Rings can only be described as complicated and unimaginable. The movie is not a word. Only try to simplify the relationship between the characters as much as possible, and focus on the ring team.


    Galadriel''s silver basin mirror can show the past and the future, but it is not sure whether it is true. It shows that the Lord of the Rings is slowly attracting and corroding members of the expedition team. Who will become the first person to fall?


    In fact, from the previous plot of the movie, it is not difficult for the audience to come to the conclusion that it must be Paramir.


    Now that he encountered a demigod existence, how could he get a little benefit.


    Blue Bass dry food, a super compressed biscuit of the Lord of the Rings version.


    Elf cloak, special material, handmade, light and warm, pure natural protective color, easy to change color, it is a must-have product for home travel.


    There are also gifts for individuals, such as Legolas''s bow, Frodo''s Elendil''s Light and so on...


    Cate Blanchett''s Queen Galadri didn''t play for a long time, but both the dress and the temperament she showed left an extremely deep impression.


    The expedition team embarked on the expedition again through the waterway, and Saruman''s army of strong orcs gradually chased them, their goal is very clear-the hobbit!


    The Colossus of Aggonus, the Gate of Gondor, this is the result of the careful design of Weta Studio, and it is definitely not comparable to the half-draft special effects of "Gladiator".


    When the movie was shown for a long time with panoramic shots, even the most discerning Lord of the Rings fans could not express any dissatisfaction here.


    The two characters in the colossus are not Islamdir and Esidor, but Esidor and his brother Anarion. The special effects here can be said to be shocking.


    Shortly after landing, the Ring Squad had a crisis. Porromir was tempted by the Lord of the Rings and secretly wanted to attack Frodo, but was fled by the alert hobbits. The Ring Squad was in danger of splitting.


    The hero will definitely stand the test before taking on the responsibilities he has to deal with. Aragorn is no exception. When he found Frodo, he clearly felt the call from the Lord of the Rings, but the reason why the hero became a hero and refused the temptation must be one of the reasons.


    Aragorn temporarily got rid of the temptation of the Lord of the Rings, but, like Frodo, realized that the hobbit alone was the best choice.


    At this moment, Saruman''s army of strong orcs arrived, and the fight scene at the end of all epic movies also kicked off.


    Then, the audience discovered that Ryan, whom they loved, was really not dashing at all, and he looked a little sloppy with close hand-to-hand combat, sweat and blood on his face.


    Compared to him, that elf boy is much more handsome, one arrow after another, easily knocking down one strong orc after another, he is so handsome that he can''t be more handsome.


    The only thing to be happy about is that the fighting in Aragorn is extremely real and cruel.


    In typical Western movies and literary works, the traitor never ends well, even if the traitor quickly returns to the right path.


    Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the death of Porromir cannot be avoided.


    Attentive audiences can find that Porromir carried his shield most of the time. When the arrow was hit, the shield stayed elsewhere. If the shield was carried all the way from Rivendell to here, there was nothing in the movie. Used it, when it¡¯s needed, it¡¯s out of hand again, it¡¯s simply a tragedy...


    The film focuses on the death of Porromir, because he not only died like a hero, but also directly led to the transformation of Aragonese thinking.


    "My brother, my leader, my king..." This undoubtedly brought the sensationalism to the extreme.


    Aragorn wore Porromir''s armguards with the holy white tree of Gondor''s mark on it. The king is destined to return and shoulder the responsibilities he should shoulder.


    In the original book, this episode is almost taken over, and Tolkien also vaguely expressed that Porromir died without sympathy, and in the movie, even though he made mistakes, he is still a hero.


    No matter what the image of Polomir in Tolkien''s works, the movie has given him a new soul.


    Every time he was bewitched, Porromir mentioned Gondor.


    In Ryandale, he said, we have used our blood to protect your peace, and now we have such a great power to let us use it to deal with the demon Lord Sauron.


    He said that we are terrified and fearful, and what we have been afraid of is such a small thing.


    He said, take the Lord of the Rings to Gondor for protection, and let Gondor use it.


    After all, everything is for Gondor, for his beloved hometown.


    Even, he described the beauty of the White City and the horn of his hometown to Aragorn with affection. Aragorn was also infected by him, remembering the sights he had seen back then, and gradually awakened the responsibility he had been avoiding.


    He was heartbroken and miserable, fearing the death of his father and the destruction of Baicheng until his death.


    Before dying, with one last breath, he also pledged allegiance to the king of Gondor, because Aragorn finally promised that he would never let Baicheng fall, and the glory of Gondor would be restored.


    Although his fate cannot escape the usual pattern of American movies, he is by no means a shameful person.


    The last sentence of Aragorn, "Son of Gondor", can be regarded as a fair evaluation of Porromir on behalf of the film.


    The life and death of Gandalf is unknown, Porromir is killed, Meri and Pippin are captured, Sam and Frodo set foot on the trip alone, and the Lord of the Rings expedition seems to have completely failed.


    "As long as we still have a breath, we can''t let Meri and Pippin suffer." Aragorn never gave up, inspiring Jinli and Legolas, "We want to rescue them, throw away the useless things, and go to battle lightly. The journey to hunt down the orcs has begun!"


    The movie has come to an end, and a magnificent epic has just begun.


    The applause broke out for the first time, and the enthusiasm was like a continuous wave. Although the rhythm of the movie was a bit slow, it almost perfectly reproduced Middle-earth.


    After sending congratulations to Peter Jackson for the first time, Ryan could see the surprise from the faces of film critics and professionals behind. The film clearly exceeded their expectations. The adaptation of masterpieces, especially works like "The Lord of the Rings," has always been A thankless thing, it seems that this work is a success?


    The main creators of the crew were surrounded for a few times became a well-deserved center point in the theater, while Ryan hid aside, letting Peter Jackson, Elijah Wood and Orlando Boo more of them. Rum and others enjoyed the joy of this success.


    They will have to work hard for the subsequent propaganda and other work, and now it is regarded as a spiritual reward.


    Charlize also hid beside Ryan. She is a smart woman, knowing that she should be more consistent with her boyfriend at this time.


    "Honey, you know?"


    Even after entering the press conference, Ryan still sat in an unremarkable place, just whispering something to Charlize, "This movie will magnify the image of your vase infinitely."


    "I didn''t appear in this movie because of you." Charlize curled his lips intentionally.


    "This is actually a good thing." Ryan smiled and comforted, and said the benefits that this movie can bring to Charlize. "First there is a beautiful vase image, and then the movie at the end of the year suddenly achieved an image. Only when there is a breakthrough, the judges of the Contrast Institute will have a choice.)

 Chapter 503： Strong momentum

    Tolkien¡¯s original work has been born for so many years. It¡¯s not that Hollywood didn¡¯t have the idea of ??it. As early as the 70s, someone had adapted a movie, but the work at that time, no matter how you look at it, is more like a movie. A downright rotten movie.


    The news that Jenkins Pictures will adapt the "Lord of the Rings" series into a movie has spread to Hollywood a long time ago, and the trilogy was filmed at the same time. The production cost alone was as high as 300 million U.S. dollars. The director is still the less well-known New Zealander Peter ? Jackson, if it weren''t for the results of past movies, someone would definitely say that Ryan was crazy.


    In fact, many people are waiting to see the jokes. After all, the difficulty of adapting a famous book into a movie is well known.


    ""Lord of the Rings 1"''s transcendence of similar themes-ingenious ideas and exciting adventures-has created its success. It truly presents the Middle-earth world described by the author Tolkien, which does not exist in reality. world."


    This is the second day of film reviews from the famous film critic Roger Albert. He did not hesitate to give the film a thumbs up.


    Lu Ramnick from the "New York Post" said, "The content of the film is so excellent, and the expression of the theme is not available in this type of film, even the "Star Wars" series."


    "Extraordinary visual effects, grand artistic conception, excellent film production, which is as fantastic and magical as the title. This is just the beginning. It is the first film in the series. We have reason to look forward to the next two parts. "This is a comment from the San Francisco Chronicle.


    With the help of the influence of the novel itself, Jenkins Pictures carried out a wide range of effective publicity, and this film has attracted more media attention.


    "Although the film is loyal to every detail of Tolkien, it also has its own vitality and vitality. It is magnificent and magnificent, with strong moral concepts, and deep emotions. In such an era of mechanized blockbusters, Ryan Jenkins and Peter? Jackson worked together to create a vivid movie epic."


    ¡ª¡ªJoe Morganstein, The Wall Street Journal


    "The film uses wisdom, enthusiasm, special effects and imagination to bring an old fantasy story that has appeared for decades to the big screen. The first part of the trilogy is so exciting and can capture our hearts. Nothing can stop the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy from being successful in theaters."


    ¡ª¡ªManora Dakis, The New York Times


    It can be said that the film has aroused unanimous praise from the film critics, and many film critics have given four stars or very high ratings.


    The film review from "The New Yorker" said, ¡®It¡¯s gorgeous from start to finish, and it¡¯s often very exciting. Although it¡¯s not so exciting in some places, it¡¯s certainly the best big-production movie in recent years. ¡¯


    Even a film critic claimed that ¡®the time and plot of the film from beginning to end are amazing. ¡¯


    Yes, the film is obviously the appetite of the film critics, but the audience has the final say on the box office of the film. Since the beginning of the 1990s, there have been countless movies with a burst of media reputation and terrible box office.


    For example, on the network. Someone who participated in the premiere wrote a message on the blog, "Although the movie has magnificent scenery and exquisite content, its narrative theme is relatively mediocre, especially those boring battle scenes."


    of course. This can only represent the voice of a very small number of people. If the movie removes those fighting scenes, the box office may plummet.


    Although it was Friday the second day after the premiere, it was a summer school holiday for all schools in the United States. Many of the more than 3,500 theaters where "The Lord of the Rings" landed were full.


    In the investigation of relevant institutions, except for a small number of die-hard book fans. Most viewers are satisfied or basically satisfied with this movie, and another survey shows that more than 80% of people who watch this movie are non-book fans.


    On the basis of respecting the original work and performing some appropriate surgery, the film is obviously very pleased to the audience.


    In fact, the follow-up response also proved this point. As more and more people watch movies, various comments on the Internet have appeared one after another.


    "Perfect! Classic!"


    "Epic movie, magnificent fantasy scenery, wonderful soundtrack!"


    "Picturesque scenery, soundtrack of nature. The beginning of an epic requires courage to fight, but it takes courage to resist temptation!"


    "Epic start, the movie scene is very grand and spectacular, the background of the story is explained very clearly, paving the way for the following story, after watching it, it makes people want to stop, magic and reality, humanity and sex, this classic work Full of sincerity."


    Epic and classic have undoubtedly become the most mentioned words by fans. These comments from Ryan''s personal website will naturally not ignore the actors.


    "The actor is handsome, beautiful, mysterious and mysterious. Legolas''s handsome mess reminds me of Ryan in "Titanic". The fairy princess played by Charlize Theron is so beautiful, just from the appearance. From the above, she is really beautiful and suitable for Ryan. Ryan herself, with a peculiar sense of mystery in her first appearance, although her beard is messy and her hair is greasy, she always looks sloppy and sloppy. But he is still so attractive, whether in appearance or in his eyes, he perfectly reproduces King Ilissa as a ranger!"


    "Why doesn''t Ryan play Legolas? After watching the movie, I found out that I fell in love with this wizard."


    "Although Ryan is our favorite, I also like Legolas."


    "Support Arwen, the scene of her standing with Aragorn, played by Ryan, is really fantastic."


    Even if this is Ryan''s personal website, Legolas is still frequently mentioned, which proves that the elven prince is indeed very popular with movie fans.


    Later, a special film critic commented on this role. After all, Legolas in the original book is not eye-catching, and even Tolkien only used the phrase "There is also a strange elf wearing green and brown clothes". description.


    "Extraordinary temperament, as if innate elegance and sensitivity, a little green in purity, blond hair shining with the brilliance of the sun, pupils shining with the brilliance of stars, simple and simple clothes, can not conceal the smart light in the eyes , The gleaming vitality of life, like his dazzling blond hair and eyes, this beautiful elf is almost as popular as Aragorn in the ring team."


    As the media described it, in the absence of Ryan, Orlando Bloom became the most popular actor in the publicity activities held in California on the weekend, which easily caused countless girls to scream.


    After the weekend came, more people squeezed into the theater. Most of the audience¡¯s first choice was "The Lord of the Rings", and the "Matrix 3" which entered the end of the screening and "Pearl Harbor" which was gradually abandoned by the market, the audience The number of people has shrunk further.


    The film market in North America is just that big, and a movie that is super selling at the same time will definitely affect the performance of other movies.


    Even if there is a competitive relationship with each other, the major Hollywood studios generally tacitly stagger the release time of large-scale commercial films.


    For example, "Pearl Harbor" was released four weeks later than "The Matrix 3", and "The Lord of the Rings" was released in the fourth week of "Pearl Harbor".


    In view of the attendance and number of viewers in the first two days of "The Lord of the Rings", just Sunday, many professional organizations have been eager to announce that this movie will definitely become the second North American movie with a box office of over 100 million in the first week.


    In fact, "The Lord of the Rings" did not turn these predictions into empty talk. In the subsequent North American box office rankings, the film directly landed on the throne of champions, and the box office score was 144.7 million US dollars.


    The box office broke 100 million in the first week. The last movie to achieve this result was "Titanic". In the eyes of many people, "The Lord of the Rings" has temporarily become a magical epic that can stand alongside the epic of the sea.


    The film did not disappoint in the only overseas market where it was released.


    In the British box office list released first, "The Lord of the Rings" also occupied the top position, with a total of 490 theaters showing a box office of 12.5 million pounds.


    The results from the box office proved that the negative impact of the Manchester United acquisition did not drag down the movie.


    Although "Lord of the Rings" is in the limelight, the box office of over 100 million in the first week has far exceeded the estimate of 60 million to 80 million US dollars before the release, but the subsequent box office direction depends on the performance of the second week.


    After all, the first week of big sales, the second week of serious slippage example is in front of us.


    "Pearl Harbor" was obviously hit by the "Lord of the Rings", and only got 6.8 million US dollars in the fourth week. This result almost indicates that the North American box office is unlikely to exceed 200 million US dollars.


    Although there were some faintly persecuting words from Michael Eisner, Ryan followed the crew on a publicity journey in the second week The specific matters were left to the agent to discuss After all, Disney''s instigation of Pixar''s core resignation is definitely the most helpless choice in the end.


    Anyway, in the eyes of Michael Eisner, he could not allow Pixar''s stock price to fall sharply. Such losses would amount to billions of dollars. Anyone with a normal head would not do that.


    "Don''t worry, just drag it." This is what Ryan said to Scott, "We need to buy some time to reach a final agreement with Wall Street."


    In order to show sincerity and to show that he would bring more benefits to them, when the crew left New York, Ryan stayed in Manhattan, and the Jewish relationship that he had been carefully managing for many years came in handy.


    Similarly, he only needs to grasp the general direction, and the specific details will naturally be discussed by professionals such as Scott.


    "The Lord of the Rings" also spent its second week on the North American theaters, with a box office of 69.41 million US dollars, enough to keep the box office leader position, also shows that the follow-up momentum of this movie is still strong.


    In just two weeks, the US$170 million North American box office of the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" caught up with the larger investment of "Pearl Harbor." ()

 Chapter 504： Dont you invite me in for a cup of coffee

    Leaving Wall Street, Ryan came to the New York Public Theater. The time is just right, and the drama on stage is about to kick off.


    This is produced by the New York Public Theater, directed by Mike Nix, from Chekhov''s classic play "The Seagull".


    As the actors appeared one by one, Ryan naturally focused on the most familiar person on the stage, and Natalie played an important juese in it.


    Following "Anne Frank''s Diary", the Long Island girl took advantage of her summer vacation to choose Broadway again. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated fastest


    Of course, this time she was far less eye-catching than Annie''s diary, after all, there was Meryl Streep on the same stage.


    "I have an appointment with Miss Natalie Portman."


    When the game was over, Ryan went directly to the entrance of the backstage, "Can you let me pass?"


    "When... of course."


    The staff here juggles usually with pens and notebooks, and after Ryan has signed his name, he quickly dodges aside.


    Before arriving at the dressing rooms of the protagonists, Ryan took the flowers from the bodyguard and knocked on the door of Natalie''s room.


    "Who?"


    The door was pulled open from inside. It was Natalie''s female assistant. Seeing that the person was Ryan, she let in directly.


    "Hi, Nat."


    Ryan beckoned to the girl who was removing her makeup, and put the flowers on the table in front of her, "Your performance was great."


    "Did you watch the audience?"


    Brown eyes looked at Ryan in the mirror, and when he nodded, he said again. "I thought you always like to come when you leave."


    "Hey, my dear." Ryan stretched out his hands helplessly. "When you starred in "Anne''s Diary". I was promoting "Titanic" and finally escaped from the theater at that time. "


    "Anyway, you can always find a reason." Natalie stood up, took off her costume generously, and changed back to her own clothes. "Didn''t you say on the phone that you have been on Wall Street recently? Are you busy with work?"


    "It''s almost time to talk, and Scott will do the rest." Ryan let out a sigh of relief.


    Although there is a relationship that has been formed at the beginning and has been carefully managed over the years, it has not paid enough benefits. How can those guys come to an agreement with him when they need it?


    "Where to go next?" Natalie took the bag from the assistant and stuffed the bunch of flowers in it. "I''m hungry."


    "Jean Georges restaurant."


    Holding the girl''s hand. Ryan opened the door to the dressing room, "I have already booked a place."


    Just as soon as the door was opened, Ryan found a large bouquet of bright red roses handed to him, facing the young man in his twenties. I probably also found out that the person was wrong. I took it back immediately.


    "Who is he?" Ryan asked the bodyguard at the door.


    "A supporter of Miss Natalie." The bodyguard leaned in and said in a low voice.


    "Hi, Nat."


    The other party''s eyes crossed Ryan and fell directly on Natalie, "Congratulations, a very successful performance."


    "Thank you."


    Natalie nodded politely, but did not pick up the flower he handed over.


    This person was not a fool either, his gaze was immediately closed, and he stretched out his hand to Ryan. "Hello, Mr. Jenkins."


    "Hello there."


    Ryan shook it lightly. Just say, "We still..."


    "If you can, can you invite you to dinner?" The other party smiled brightly, and the etiquette was impeccable.


    "No need."


    Before Ryan could speak, Natalie refused. She gently shook Ryan''s hand and whispered, "Let''s go."


    Nodding to the opposite side, Ryan took Natalie and walked towards the exit of the backstage. He was just about to turn out of this corridor. His eyes swept across the other''s face again, that face was really familiar.


    He was sure that he hadn''t seen each other before. This sense of familiarity must come from a previous life. When he got in the car, he was relatively curious, and said, "Who is that person, Nat?"


    "Emily... a friend of my former Harvard roommate." Natalie said briefly, "Emily took him to a party I held. He should be working on Broadway. Once I saw our Rehearse, come here often..."


    She made a gesture that you understand to Ryan, deliberately curled her lips and said, "I am one of my suitors."


    "One?" Ryan''s forehead jumped, "Dear Nat, do you have many suitors?"


    "Of course." Natalie covered her mouth lightly, the smile in the corner of her eyes was very obvious, "So, if you do something that is sorry for me, I have many choices."


    "It seems that I have to find a way to destroy their humanity in advance." Ryan deliberately followed Natalie''s tone and joked, "That person..."


    He realized that he didn''t have that guy''s name, "Just the guy just now, wouldn''t he be your backup candidate, right?"


    "It''s just a Frenchman dancing ballet."


    Natalie seemed to snort disdainfully, "French..."


    Jean Georges restaurant is a Michelin three-star restaurant. Its head office in Manhattan is known as the most French restaurant in New York. This restaurant is mainly aimed at two groups of stars and rich people. Therefore, it can be called a New York restaurant in terms of atmosphere and prevention of paparazzi. model.


    To eat French food, you must have enough patience. Sitting in the secluded partition, Ryan is tasting the appetizers while talking with Natalie softly. Judging from the hearty smiles that the two often show, they are completely restored to the past.


    "How about this version of "Seagull" now?" Natalie''s words unknowingly shifted to today''s drama.


    "Return it." Ryan replied casually.


    "On a beautiful lakeside in a country, there is a young girl Ningna Chareknaya. She fantasizes about the stage, honor, love, and happiness." Natalie said it seemed to be her juese in the drama, "In her In my mind, life is as beautiful, charming, full of hallucinations and dreams like this lake and this sky."


    Ryan stretched his hand to the other side and squeezed the girl''s hand on the table, "I''m not Terry Green."


    "I''m not Ningna either." Natalie smiled, and shook Ryan''s hand. "This season is almost over."


    "Nate, do you have time in early September?" Ryan asked very seriously.


    "At Harvard." Natalie thought for a while, and then said, "Maybe back to New York during the weekend."


    "Return to New York?" Even though it was too early, Ryan frowned and put down the knife and fork in his hand. "Will you go to Hawaii for a vacation together? Not the two of us. We will summon friends like Scott and Pat. Let''s join us. Go to Lanai."


    He looked straight at the other side, Natalie''s lips moved, and finally she nodded slightly.


    In September, New York was the most insecure place in the world. Ryan had made appointments with close friends and went to Hawaii for vacation in advance.


    It¡¯s been a long time since the two of them had completely opened their hearts to chat, as if they had returned to the way they were when they were young. Whether it¡¯s philosophy or entertainment, whether it¡¯s politics or economics, they can all be talked about in their mouths. Although it¡¯s not as tit-for-tat as before, but occasionally If they disagree, they will stare at each other until they laugh at the same time.


    "My idea and outline have been completed." Ryan talked about something recently written, "This is a story that relies on women to hold up the frame. A strong heroine is needed to build the entire world. Are you interested? Nat?"


    "What about the script?" Natalie stretched out a hand happily.


    "Actually, it will be released as a novel first."


    Ryan slowly tasted the dessert after dinner, and said, "I have already worked out the outline and basic settings. I handed it over to a female screenwriter some time ago, and she will complete the specific writing work."


    "When did you start looking for the gunman?" Natalie picked up the tissue and wiped her mouth gently.


    "It''s not the gunman, but we signed it together."


    Seeing Natalie''s interest, Ryan said a few more words, "After the novel is published, I have the priority to adapt the film."


    In fact, after the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings", the people of Garcia quickly found Susan Collins, the famous female writer who became a famous writer, and is now just a very ordinary TV screenwriter in Hollywood. The people in Ryan talked to her. After contacting and seeing the simple outline setting, the two parties quickly reached an agreement.


    The car stopped at the intersection, and Ryan and Natalie walked forward unhurriedly under the shining of the street lights.


    In front is Natalie''s residence. The quiet road is not long, and the two quickly came to the small villa holding hands.


    "Then... see you tomorrow."


    Standing in front of the door, Natalie waved goodbye to Ryan.


    "Nate." Ryan didn''t mean to say goodby at all. "Will you not invite me in for a cup of coffee?"


    Natalie didn''t speak, turned around and opened the door, walked into the villa first, and Ryan followed in.


    With the bang of the door, Ryan took a step and hugged Natalie from behind. The girl''s waist was still so thinThe figure was still so thin, as if it had never changed Over.


    Gently blowing away the hair of her temples, Ryan''s lips were drawn from the edge of the white ear beads, one hand picked up Natalie''s pointed chin, and after hooking it over, he kissed the two extremely soft pieces On the lips.


    Natalie opened the hand that Ryan was hugging with a little bit of force, and turned her whole body around, hooking her hands on his neck, venting the emotions she had accumulated for a long time.


    The two people are very familiar with each other''s body, where is the most sensitive place, while kissing deeply, the four hands are constantly walking around each other''s body.


    The buckles of women''s jeans and men''s belts quickly became undefended.


    In the sound of rapid breathing, the four-petal lips pulled the thin, bright silver water threads apart, and then their foreheads came together, and the sky-blue eyes and brown eyes infinitely narrowed the distance between their hearts.


    "Nate..."


    Hugging the feather-light girl horizontally, Ryan walked towards Natalie''s bedroom. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 505： Negotiated and brought

    During Ryan''s stay in New York, the "Lord of the Rings" crew ended the North American publicity plan and started overseas publicity in two ways.


    A group headed by Peter Jackson, Naomi Watts, and Cate Blanchett rushed to the other side of the Pacific, including New Zealand and Australia.


    European actors such as Orlando Bloom, Elijah Wood and Ian McLean returned to the other side of the Atlantic.


    From the day when Ryan was able to make a certain sound in Hollywood, he has been committed to the global simultaneous release plan of commercial productions. Although it has not been realized today, many years of hard work have brought a lot of results. Jenkins The big-selling commercial movies produced by the industry have been released in some overseas markets, and the time before they land in North America is getting shorter and shorter.


    This can minimize the impact of piracy on movies. Piracy is also common in the West, even if it is not as widespread as in some places.


    After two consecutive weeks of popularity, "The Lord of the Rings" did not create the miracle of the original "Titanic". Since the third week, the number of viewers has dropped significantly. The North American box office only received more than 33 million U.S. dollars. It was reiterated by Tim Burton. The filmed "Battle of the Apes" squeezed to second place in the box office rankings.


    However, with a performance of more than 200 million US dollars in three weeks, "The Lord of the Rings" has attracted enough attention.


    In the following two weeks, "The Lord of the Rings" continued to hold the second place in the box office list, with more than 28 million U.S. dollars and more than 21 million U.S. dollars, respectively. The North American box office exceeded the 250 million U.S. dollar mark. Online "The Matrix 3: Reloaded" temporarily became the highest-grossing movie in North America this year.


    After entering August, as crews and films successively landed in overseas markets, there has been an upsurge of the Lord of the Rings around the world, although it is not as good as "Titanic" back then. But wherever the crew goes, they will become the focus of the media, and the film has received unanimous praise in the western world where the original work has a huge influence.


    In countries such as Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, and Australia, the box office in the first week all exceeded US$4 million. A veritable box office killer.


    Especially in the tiny place of New Zealand. The box office of the premiere also exceeded one million dollars, breaking a series of local records from audience to attendance to box office.


    Actually. Since the release of "The Lord of the Rings", New Zealand has been the location of the film, and the magnificent scenery has become the focus of another media report. Queenstown has appeared in the world with the film. The reputation gradually spread all over the world.


    The local government is also quite smart, and quickly reached a relevant authorization agreement with Ryan, and the Lord of the Rings Parade has become an indispensable tourism project in Queenstown.


    "So, successful movies are more than just movies."


    Lying on Natalie''s smooth back, Ryan moved slowly, Natalie turned her face, although her nose was heavy. But I really enjoy the feeling of floating in the clouds and chatting with lovers, "Ryan, don''t stop. Go on."


    After kissing the **** the back of the neck, Ryan naturally understood the pun and continued, "You know, Nat, Pixar has made a profit of 3.5 billion U.S. dollars from "Bug Crisis" in 1998 to the present."


    "The three movies "Bug Crisis", "Toy Story 2" and "Monster Electric Company" account for less than one-third of the box office profits." Ryan gradually used her strength, and Natalie slowly bite He kept his lips, as if he didn''t want to make any sound, "Nat, if the film company only relies on box office profits, all Hollywood film companies will go bankrupt."


    In fact, among the four animated films produced by Pixar to the present, the box office revenue only accounts for 23.7% of the total revenue, which is less than a quarter. Subsequent family images, TV station copyrights and peripheral products are the most profitable. .


    Probably because she was pressed for too long, Natalie felt a little uncomfortable, twisted her body a few times, got rid of the entanglement below, turned over and pressed Ryan underneath, and waited for a good position to sit down. The whole person was curled up on a strong chest.


    "No wonder Disney is buying Pixar." Natalie hesitated, her eyes blurred, but she didn''t say anything in the end.


    Although she didn''t want to admit it, deep down in her heart, she still hoped that the two could completely fall apart.


    "Disney is pressing **** me step by step." Ryan suddenly held the girl''s slender waist and assisted her to move, "Um...how do I say, I am going to give up."


    "This...this is not your character." Natalie gasped.


    "Do you know how Michael Eisner threatened me?" Ryan seemed to be talking about something completely irrelevant to him. "He thought he kidnapped the core of Pixar. As long as a large number of core personnel are encouraged to leave, Pixar''s stock price will plummet. , The shares in my hands have become waste paper..."


    "Anything else..."


    "He used to expose me and Nicole..."


    As soon as the name came out, Ryan''s mouth was blocked by Natalie, and the two of them were completely immersed in madness.


    The rushing water in the bathroom stopped. Ryan wrapped Natalie in a king-size bath towel and carried her out. Just after she was placed on the fabric sofa, the ringing of the mobile phone rang.


    This was a call from George. After a few simple words, Ryan hung up, walked over to Natalie, and gently kissed the **** the forehead.


    "I should go back to Los Angeles."


    "Disney?" Natalie asked.


    "Yeah." Ryan squeezed the girl''s face. "It''s time to give in."


    After packing up his belongings, Ryan stroked the wet brown curly hair lightly, "Nat, don''t forget, I will send someone to Harvard to pick you up next month."


    "Then I''ll wait for you." Natalie nodded gently.


    After leaving this small villa, the car was already waiting outside. After Ryan got in, George drove directly to JFK Airport.


    Ryan dragged Michael Eisner for two months, and the patience of the Disney tyrant was about to be polished.


    Through this period of contact, Ryan has fully demonstrated resistance and reluctantly accepting reality for the benefit of the attitude, ready to make compromises with Disney.


    From 2000 to the present, Disney¡¯s stock price has been declining. Although Ryan and Michael Eisner are secretly increasing their holdings, the rate of decline in the stock price is much slower than in the previous life, but in less than two years. Here, the overall market value of Walt Disney has fallen by nearly 10%.


    The stock price decline is nothing. As long as the performance is good enough, it will rise soon. The problem is that Disney¡¯s revenue in the past two years is not good. Whether it is an animated movie or a live-action movie, there is a lack of powerful works. The income from theme parks and other aspects is about to be associated with MGM and Sony Pictures.


    In the previous life, Pixar-related business income once accounted for more than 60% of Disney''s income after 2000. This shows that a successful animation studio has a pulling effect on a company like Disney.


    After Ryan returned to Los Angeles, he had several interviews with Michael Eisner. In front of the other party, he was neither a Hollywood superstar nor a hairy boy, but a profit-first investor.


    In Hollywood, as long as there are enough interests, everything has to be discussed.


    Just a few days after Ryan returned to Los Angeles, Disney officially announced that it had reached a preliminary agreement with Pixar''s largest shareholder on the equity issue.


    At this point, in the eyes of industry insiders, the annexation of Pixar Studios by Walt Disney is inevitable, and the rest is nothing more than a price issue.


    On the day the news was announced, Disney¡¯s stock price rose accordingly and rose by 4% to the close, while Pixar¡¯s stock price fell again, after a 2.9% drop, and closed at $58.97 on the Nasdaq stock market.


    It is certainly good news for Disney to be able to get the most urgently needed animation studio.


    But this acquisition is underestimated by many professionals, who believe that the transaction will end in the deep sea like most large-scale media acquisitions.


    And their doubts are double-shared, or Disney ravaged Pixar''s ingenuity, or Pixar''s animators are like spoiled children, constantly laughing at their new owner.


    In fact, in this industry, most company marriages can only create large-scale internal wars.


    Even the well-known financial critic David Price wrote publicly, "Most mergers and acquisitions, especially those in the media and entertainment industries, destroy value, not create value. Pixar loses what Ryan Jenkins gave. After the greatest support-freedom-it is very likely that you will lose the way forward."


    Wall Street¡¯s attitude seemed a little vague. Then there was news that Disney¡¯s Wall Street lending plan had suffered setbacks, and the funding sources raised were lower than expected, and the Credit Suisse statement, known as one of the world¡¯s most professional evaluation agencies~www. novelhall.com~According to long-term observations, Disney can use up to $1.4 billion in working capital in this merger, otherwise the capital chain will be in danger of breaking.


    This follow-up news was completely unfavorable to Disney. Starting from the next day, Disney¡¯s stock price fell all the way. In just a few days, the overall market value shrank by 9%.


    The pressure from the stock market is directly reflected in Disney''s actions. In order to get rid of the unfavorable situation, they are bound to accelerate the pace of annexing Pixar.


    On the one hand, Disney continues to raise funds, and on the other hand, it has accelerated negotiations with Ryan, hoping to finalize the acquisition before September.


    On Ryan''s side, he insisted on not letting go, and showed the image of a speculator who was not recognized by his six relatives to the fullest, and even two consecutive meetings with Michael Eisner broke up unhappy.


    When the negotiations were at a stalemate, Viacom and News Corp. successively issued statements announcing their intention to negotiate with Ryan on the issue of Pixar''s equity in their hands.


    It is said that after the news came out, in Michael Eisner''s office, there was the sound of an ashtray falling. ()

 Chapter 506： Pixar changes hands

    In order to get rid of the unfavorable situation, despite the completion of the acquisition, Michael Eisner made a compromise with Disney¡¯s board of directors. Roy Disney, who has a certain friendship with Ryan, joined the ranks of the negotiations, and with this sleek and sophisticated old man As a buffer zone, the two parties finally reached a final agreement after each made certain concessions.


    On August 25, Ryan took the relevant team and appeared in the Pixar office building. Walt Disney representatives Michael Eisner and Roy Disney were already waiting in the conference room.


    "Ryan, I believe this is a win-win transaction."


    The two sides sat opposite each other, waiting for the relevant personnel to review the contract, Michael Eisner''s complacency could not be concealed, and he did not want to conceal it.


    "I still have Blue Sky Studio in my hands, and I am still the largest shareholder of DreamWorks Animation Studios." Ryan also did not hide his attitude towards him, and nodded his head again. "There are endless creative ideas here, Michael, Even if I lose Pixar, I will still have the largest share of the animated film market."


    Even if the other party is only temporarily happy, he will continue to add to it.


    Michael Eisner didn''t seem to hear these words, and he was still very satisfied.


    Regarding the behavior of the tyrant, Ryan knew very well that the Disney shares held by Michael Eisner exceeded 10% for the first time for the first time and became the largest shareholder of Disney, and he holds the chairman and It¡¯s not too difficult to take advantage of various opportunities to increase shares.


    Perhaps only when Walt Disney, like Viacom and News Corp, become a personal possession, can this Disney master be satisfied?


    Shaking his head, Ryan signed his name on the documents handed over by Lawyer Wilson Jr.


    A series of cumbersome procedures have been completed in advance, and this closed signing ceremony soon ended. After selling all of Pixar''s equity, Ryan still did not have the consciousness that he should have.


    "Michael, run Pixar well. Don''t mess it up." Ryan came to Michael Eisner and said after shaking his hand, "If you give a good idea to a mediocre team, they will give it away. Screw it; if you give a mediocre idea to a great team, they will improve it or abandon it, and then come up with good work."


    "Pixar now has the best team!" Ryan left the meeting room without looking back.


    August 27, 2001. On Monday morning local time in Los Angeles, Walt Disney held a press conference at the Disney headquarters in Burbank, officially announcing that it had completed the wholly-owned acquisition of Pixar Animation Studios for a total price of US$7.8 billion. The transaction will take cash. The transaction and stock swap are carried out. According to the agreement reached by the two parties, Disney will redeem Pixar stock at a ratio of 2.42:1. That is, each Pixar stock is equivalent to 2.42 Disney shares.


    This became the most sensational news in Hollywood this year.


    "Disney acquired Pixar Studios for $7.8 billion, betting on digital animation. Pixar''s digital animation technology will determine the new direction of Disney animation..."


    "The marriage of Disney and Pixar will change the landscape of the entertainment industry..."


    For example, news of this kind has appeared endlessly in major media.


    Such a multi-billion-dollar acquisition is difficult to attract people. Apart from swallowing Pixar''s rapidly expanding Walt Disney, who is the real individual winner?


    The first result of the media analysis was Michael Eisner, who not only firmly secured his position as the largest shareholder. He also led this wholly-owned acquisition, and no one within Disney can compete with him anymore, and his personal reputation and power have been further strengthened.


    Where the media can''t see, Nicole obtained 3.2% of Disney''s shares through exchange of stocks and other methods. According to the agreement reached with Disney, she became a member of Disney''s board of directors.


    As for Ryan, the media soon disclosed that he had made huge profits in this transaction.


    Because it took a premium acquisition approach. The transaction volume involving his equity was as high as US$3.7 billion, and Walt Disney could not raise such a huge amount of liquidity in the short term.


    According to Michael Eisner¡¯s idea, it is to pay as much cash as possible for transactions with Ryan, but some retail shareholders and a few investment agents on Wall Street do not accept share swaps, and large sums of money are not allowed. Not spent on these people.


    According to the final agreement, Disney will use 1 billion US dollars in cash plus 6.8% of Disney shares. Exchange for Pixar shares in Ryan''s hands.


    At this point, plus the Disney shares acquired because of the Harry Potter series reached an agreement with Warner, Ryan has become Disney''s second largest shareholder after Michael Eisner with 9.5% of the shares.


    But sadly, he is neither a member of the board of directors. Nor does it have the status of an executive, just a major shareholder.


    After the annexation of Pixar, Disney''s market value expanded rapidly, surpassing Viacom and Time Warner in one fell swoop, becoming the second largest media group in the United States.


    As the leader of this merger and acquisition, Michael Eisner''s limelight is no different.


    However, Lengshui quickly rushed towards him. The Delaware Chancery Court conducted a second questioning on Disney¡¯s shareholder lawsuit against Disney¡¯s management headed by Michael Eisner, including Michael Eisner, Michael Ovitz, and Michael Eisner. Roy Disney and others were all present and accepted routine inquiries from the court.


    Although the lawsuit will not be concluded until November, such a case makes Disney''s management extremely annoyed. After all, shareholders suing the current chairman of the board will definitely affect the market''s confidence in Disney.


    After the loss of Pixar, Ryan did not seem to be affected too much. There was news from England that the ¡°Red Football¡± company lacking funds received a large injection of capital, opened negotiations with other shareholders of Manchester United, and then protested by fans. These seem to have affected the state of Manchester United. After the start of the new Premier League season, their record is not very satisfactory.


    Then, there were media reports that DreamWorks Animation Studios, which was funded by Ryan, was undertaking an animated feature film project called "Shrek" led by him, and Blue Sky Studios was also preparing to start "Ice Age". The sequel production, even if Pixar is lost, he still has a huge influence on the animation market.


    After more than ten years of hard work, Ryan is the largest shareholder of Jenkins Pictures, Blue Sky Studios, and DreamWorks Animation Studios within the scope of Hollywood alone. He also holds absolute controlling rights in Marvel Comics and the amount of ownership. The various shares of Paramount, Disney and Twentieth Century Fox have woven an intricate network of relationships in this Vanity Fair through friendship and interest chains.


    Even if it is the biggest opponent now, Michael Eisner has to admit that it is almost impossible to drive him out of Hollywood.


    The time has finally come to September, "The Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution" is down in North America. The North American box office of this movie did not exceed 300 million U.S. dollars, staying at more than 265 million U.S. dollars, and "The Lord of the Rings 1" The number of theaters has been reduced to about 2500. Although North America can contribute more than $10 million in box office every week, the stamina is obviously not as strong as the original "Titanic".


    Besides, the moment that will have a major blow to all industries in the United States is approaching, and movies that are stuck during this time period will undoubtedly become tragedies.


    For example, in order to avoid "The Lord of the Rings" and Tim Bolton''s "Battle of the Apes", the new line put "Rush Hour 2" in theaters in early September...


    However, these have nothing to do with Ryan. Anyway, "The Matrix 3" is down, and the box office potential of "The Lord of the Rings" in North America is almost exhausted. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" is on the Christmas file. Those series of movies are also staggered in September and October.


    On the first Monday in September, a luxury yacht nearly 400 feet long sailed into the Santa Monica Pier.


    Then, one speedboat after another, one helicopter after another, sent back and forth to one passenger after another, among them,


    Sharp-eyed people find that there are many Hollywood celebrities who appear on the yacht.


    The time from the previous life is very close. Ryan deliberately instigated this collective vacation at sea. In addition to Natalie, there are also the Swift family, as well as Pai Kingsley, Scarlett Johansson, and Drew Barry. Moore and so on were all invited by him to take a yacht to Lanai Island in Hawaii.


    As for Charlize, he returned to South Africa with his mother and would never return to North America in the short term. After Nicole participated in a Disney board meeting, she returned to the Australian farm with her sister. Before Disney¡¯s shareholder meeting was held, neither Will be back.


    There are people with Ryan on both sides who will pass the message, so there is no need to worry about unexpected accidents.


    Besides, it is not bad to avoid the whirlpool of North America. According to Ryan''s plan, before the collapse of the Twin Towers, there will definitely be a big wave of public opinion first, and they will definitely become the target of criticism at that time~www. novelhall.com~ Hi, Nat, I''m so happy to meet you. "


    Although she was closer to Nicole, Natalie was also a good friend Taylor had known since she was a child. After getting off the helicopter, the little girl gave her a big hug.


    The Swifts greeted them, and they voluntarily left the young people¡¯s place and went to the place where Julius and Kingsley, who had more common topics, were located. The banquet hall there would be after the yacht left the port. Throw a party.


    "My dear, you have to take good care of your brother."


    Ryan looked at the poor boy and beckoned him, "Hey Austin, it''s been a long time."


    "He is too shy."


    Taylor pursed his mouth in dissatisfaction. Scarlett Johansson, who was talking to Natalie, walked over and directly picked up the little boy, "Hey, my dear, they are all bad guys, I will take you to the sea carnival party. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommended votes, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to m. to read.) ()

 Chapter 507： Overshadowed

    According to the scheduled plan, the yacht will not arrive in Hawaii until a week later. Although it will not deviate from the course, there are no reporters and paparazzi on the endless sea. These guys who usually have to be careful when going out to play, it is rare to have a time to completely relax.


    "Quickly, grab Scarlett, don''t let her run away."


    Ryan had just stepped onto the top of the yacht, and Taylor¡¯s voice came from the pool, "Drew, Nat, and Christine, hurry up and hold this little fat girl, I¡¯m going to try her to the end today How fat is it."


    "Alison, I swear..."


    Scarlett Johansson seemed to arouse public outrage, and was pressed on a beach chair by a few girls, whimpering, "I will definitely take off your swimming trunks and hit your ass."


    "You''ve been beaten just now." The little girl exclaimed angrily.


    "You even hit my chest." It was Natalie who denounced.


    "Pinched my cheek." Drew squeezed her nose gently.


    "Laughing at our **** not being as big as yours."


    Tyler simply leaned to the beach chair and patted Scarlett Johansson''s puckered butt, "It feels good, Scarlett, I don''t know how the front is."


    "I was wrong, can I apologize?"


    After finally turning her head, Scarlett found a few pairs of fierce eyes, so she looked at the boy playing side and shouted to her brother, "Adrian, help me get rid of them all! "


    "Hey, dear, I don''t want to participate in your war." Adrian Johnson pulled Cameron Stewart next to him. "Let''s stay away from them. These guys can sink the yacht when they are crazy."


    As soon as his voice fell, Scarlett''s screams were already heard over there.


    Looking at the little girl who made the mistake, Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head, sat on the beach chair by the pool, took the sun hat from the table next to it, and buttoned it on his face.


    Scarlett''s screams continued over there, and Taylor''s two little hands penetrated under her ribs. Kneading what she is most proud of.


    "Wow, it''s so soft." The little girl Grid smiled and screamed, "Scarlet feels the best, much better than Nat."


    "Taylor!" Natalie''s face began to darken.


    Then, the Long Island girl cast a color on Drew, and they let go of Scarlett''s arm at the same time.


    "How can you do this?"


    Looking at Scarlett who stood up. The little girl turned her head and ran. Seeing the big girl with her teeth and claws catching up closely behind her, she jumped behind Ryan''s beach chair in a few steps.


    "Hey Hey hey¡­¡­"


    Leaning into Ryan''s ear, Taylor shouted. "I''m being bullied, you don''t help either..."


    "Don''t bother me to rest." Ryan didn''t lift his head.


    "Alison."


    Scarlett Johansson who was chasing over suddenly squeezed his eyes, and Natalie and the others also leaned in, after making a look at each other...


    "Puff~"


    A huge splash of water splashed in the pool. The moment Ryan was pushed by the beach chair, he understood what these guys were going to do, but it was too late to react. After falling into the pool, he quickly got out of the water.


    "Nate, Scarlett, Drew, Alison..."


    Before they could finish speaking, Ryan found that they had escaped from the top deck.


    The short-lived sea life is very pleasant. Everyone enjoys dancing parties, parties, swimming, and occasionally diving. They even stop the boat to hold a fishing contest in the middle. But the shark that Tyler thinks of, still no one can. Catch it up.


    of course. Even far away from Los Angeles, Ryan and others are always paying attention to the situation in North America. Unlike Scott and Pie Kingsley, apart from Disney, he also sets his sights on New York and Washington DC from time to time.


    However, from all sources of feedback, the Washington authorities and the financial order in New York are normal.


    The yacht gradually approached the Hawaiian Islands. After the first few days of relaxation, Ryan once again turned his main energy to work, often discussing the current situation of Disney and the next plan with Scott and the two.


    "Same as we expected."


    In the yacht¡¯s study, Scott talked about some recent developments. "After Disney swallowed Pixar, it didn''t rush to reform."


    "Michael Eisner''s desire for power and ambition is too swollen."


    Ryan sipped the black tea and said casually, "But the ability is definitely the top among professional managers in Hollywood. If you bring Disney''s atmosphere into Pixar, then Pixar..."


    He made a gesture that you understand, and continued, "Maintaining Pixar''s status quo is actually the best way."


    This is what Ryan is most worried about. It took so many years for Pixar to form its own unique corporate culture. If Michael Eisner really reforms Pixar, then even if his plan succeeds in a few months, it will definitely be in the future. It takes a lot of tricks.


    Facts have proved that Michael Eisner is still an excellent manager, Ed Kamel and others still hold Pixar''s power for the time being. What they get is more money and equity benefits, with this tyrant. It¡¯s impossible to share his power in Disney with others.


    "How do you convince Ed and John them?" Jinsli was obviously curious. "They are idealists."


    "Idealists will have greater ideals." Ryan put down his teacup and squeezed his beard''s chin. "For example, he takes charge of Disney''s animation department and uses Disney''s industry chain to further promote the development of computer animation."


    After a week of sailing, the yacht finally arrived on Lanai Island. After the expansion, Lanai Port has been able to dock 10,000-ton cruise ships. Although this island has become Ryan¡¯s private island, it is still open to tourists. Many private places have become non-do not disturb.


    "Dear Scarlett, I find that I am in love with you."


    When disembarking, Tyler took Scarlett Johansson by the hand and staggered onto the pier, "When I grow up in the future, will you marry me?"


    This childish speech immediately drew laughter from the surroundings.


    The people nearby are all familiar people, they know that Taylor likes to be a foolish character, and they don''t care.


    "Then it''s settled." She suddenly stretched out her hands, made a strange gesture to Scarlett, and said in a low voice, "Wow, it feels so good, I really miss it."


    "Alison!" Scarlett clenched her teeth.


    Ryan and Natalie who were holding Tyler heard these words, Ryan couldn''t help but flicked the little girl, "Naughty!"


    "This will make you stupid." The royal blue eyes looked at Natalie, "Nat, will you be optimistic about your boyfriend?"


    "When we return to sail, we can throw him into the sea."


    Natalie''s words were immediately recognized by the little girl, and she nodded on her golden curly head, "This is a good idea."


    On Lanai Island, there was joy and laughter, and the crowd seemed to abandon the troubles of the world and devoted themselves to this holiday trip, and the storm of public opinion in North America had just begun.


    Since getting to know Ryan, Mick Taylor¡¯s career has entered the fast lane. In a few years, he has changed from an entertainment reporter to the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, and now also serves as the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and the current chief editor. After retirement, taking over is almost a matter of course.


    All this seems easy, but he knows who he is backed by. The other party has become one of the shareholders of the Los Angeles Times as early as a few years ago.


    Even if it was a Saturday, when he received the call, he immediately rushed to a private club in Orange County.


    "Hi, Garcia, it''s been a long time."


    Entering the agreed room, Mick Taylor saw the Latino who was as lucky as him, "Anything in a hurry?"


    The other party was a few words, and after nodding, he handed over a bag of papers, "See the paper tomorrow."


    After speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave, and when he passed Mick Taylor, he slapped his arm hard, "Keep it safe and don''t make any accidents."


    Although he didn''t meet many times, he understood the personality of this Latino and nodded solemnly. After the other party left the club, he drove directly to the newspaper office, walked into the office, and opened the file bag impatiently.


    It''s different from any previous one, it''s just a piece of love history gossip, a piece of gossip that can ignite the entire United States and even the world!


    Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman, looking at these two extremely familiar names, and the familiar handwriting that should belong to Ryan, Mick Taylor''s forehead sweated more and more.


    For such an explosive piece of news, presumably all newspapers are willing to spend seven or even eight figures to buy it, and now it is delivered to their own hands?


    What is he going to do? Or what are they going to do?


    To be able to sit in this position, Mick Taylor is definitely not a fool. He suddenly became suspicious of Garcia. He quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number that he rarely contacted directly.


    "Ryan..."


    After a brief phone call Mick Taylor confirmed that this was the young man¡¯s idea, and he stopped thinking about it, took out a copy of the information, and personally wrote this gossip that was destined to stir the world. news.


    No matter what the superstar or super-rich is thinking, this incident will definitely bring huge benefits to the newspaper and himself. The other party is obviously using some means to promote himself.


    Although knowing that the other party must have another purpose, Mick Taylor is still very grateful, and the benefits of such heavyweight news for his future promotion are self-evident.


    There is no eternal secret in the world. Ryan knows this well. What''s more, the relationship between him and Nicole, in the eyes of those close to them, is just a secret for everyone to maintain a tacit understanding. Even Michael Eisner wants to use this. One point, since it will definitely be exposed in the future, why not find the best opportunity to take the initiative to expose it?


    Now is undoubtedly a good opportunity, even if this super gossip will cause an uproar in North America, it will be overshadowed by another news in a few days. (To be continued.

 Chapter 508： A short-lived storm

    On September 8th, this was a time period specially selected by Ryan. If it is too early, it may cause fire. If it is too late, some predetermined means will not have time to be used. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    "Hollywood''s sister and brother love!"


    This is the news on the front page of the Los Angeles Times that day. The font is not only huge, but also deliberately blackened and bold, accompanied by several equally eye-catching exclamation marks. It seems that they want to convey their shock to the public in this way.


    If you only look at news headlines, you won¡¯t be able to attract too many people. Are there little siblings in Hollywood? This kind of drama happens almost every day.


    Some people even think that even this kind of news can make the headlines, and is the Los Angeles Times reduced to a sensational tabloid?


    However, when seeing the two protagonists in the report, everyone''s eyes widened.


    Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman...how could it be possible?


    This is everyone''s first reaction. Who doesn''t know the relationship between these two people in the United States?


    Although this report on the distribution of pictures was written by Mick Taylor, in fact he did not change the ¡®original¡¯ article written by Ryan.


    Of course, this kind of self-exposure article is full of room for change.


    For example, the report claimed that the relationship between the two began after Ryan became an adult, and described it as a long-term relationship. The protagonist and responsible party were thrown on Ryan''s head without reservation...


    In short, this report originated from Ryan, as much as possible to focus the responsibility and subsequent artillery on himself.


    One is the youngest actor in the history of Oscars, and the other is one of Hollywood''s most iconic female stars. The sensation caused by such news can be imagined.


    People across the U.S. are deep-fried, and their verification calls completely blown up the hotline of the Los Angeles Times...


    The media and reporters are crazy, whether it is traditional media or online media, as soon as they learn the news. The most capable force was dispatched, and Jenkins Pictures and Jenkins Manor gathered hundreds of reporters in an instant, and all the places Ryan and Nicole often visited for the first time became the targets of the media.


    however. Even in the next half of the day. The media rummaged through Los Angeles several times and could not find the person involved.


    okay then. Since they had a relationship, and the Los Angeles Times report did not reveal whether they had broken up, Charlize Theron is also a good interview subject.


    They still couldn''t find anyone, all those close to Ryan Jenkins. All disappeared.


    The media and the public fell into a brief silence, but after the silence broke out a storm larger than the New Orleans Hurricane.


    On the same day, Ryan¡¯s personal website flooded with countless fans, and they asked if it was true. So the server of this website was inevitably paralyzed because of too much traffic.


    Although the reporter was from the Los Angeles Times, the person concerned did not respond, and no one dared to determine whether the matter was true or false.


    The most direct reaction was the supporters of Ryan and Nicole. They left messages on various related websites, most of which claimed, "Shocked and incredible..."


    Some people are asking, are they still together now?


    More people gave answers to guesses in their hearts. Since Ryan and Charlize Theron have come together, they must have broken up...


    Then, a new message appeared on the Internet, "Ryan fell in love with Natalie Portman again, which directly led to the breakdown of the relationship with Nicole. Later, after meeting Charlize Theronsie, he abandoned it again. Natalie, plunged into the arms of South African diamonds..."


    There are more and more similar news, and it has even been proved by some people who claim to be informed.


    Ryan had already started hiring network naval forces, but this time the scale was a bit big, and he tried his best to blacken himself out and made himself a typical playboy.


    Since the day Hollywood appeared, Playboy has been the norm for men in this circle. In the eyes of the media and the public, this is nothing. The relationship between him and Nicole is the focus of discussion.


    For the supporters of two people, like all celebrities encounter this kind of thing, they quickly divided into two groups-critics and people who don''t care.


    Compared with ordinary people, the reaction of the media and critics was much more intense.


    The overall climate in the United States tends to be conservative. Although a few areas such as California are still open, the relationship between Ryan and Nicole is, after all, different from that of Hollywood sisters and brothers.


    "This is a scandal! A huge shame!"


    Spokespersons of many conservative organizations spoke publicly, "This is the biggest scandal in Hollywood since Woody Allen!"


    Even some moral people from Utah claimed that ¡®this is a serious challenge to the bottom line of society! ¡¯


    Every time there is an incident involving moral issues, these moral people will always be the first to jump out, but never check whether the bottom of their buttocks is clean.


    However, not all the media are criticizing. Most of the media who are entangled with Ryan¡¯s interests are not serious or not, and deliberately lead the topic in a direction that is faintly beneficial to Ryan, and seems to want to downplay it. Deal with this matter.


    Some liberal newspapers, such as The New York Times, pointed out in important sections that Ryan and Nicole are not related by blood. According to California law, there is no illegal place to fall in love after adulthood.


    Many media under News Corporation claimed that''These are small problems in the face of true love.'' Although some people refuted''Ryan abandoned Nicole, this is not true love at all'', but they then declared that these are just trivial. Personal issues. ¡¯


    Public opinion is difficult to control, and the best way is to guide. Ryan employs a large number of naval forces on the Internet, and there are not a few people who concealed him from the traditional media. After all, he can bring them far more benefits than The gains from the so-called scandal.


    The most important thing is that the storm was not as strong as expected.


    After all, he and Nicole are brothers and sisters who have no blood relationship, and the time of love that was shown to the public was after adulthood. From the current media interpretation and public understanding, the two people seem to have broken up because of him.


    Of course, this messy love history also shows another side of his private life. In the media and the public, he is destined to become a playboy.


    But as someone who develops in Hollywood, let alone Playboy, even Princess Playboy is not a problem.


    Because of the lack of considerable multimedia support, the topic is far from reaching the expected popularity. Even if someone wants to make the matter completely hot, they can only stop and invest elsewhere.


    In the follow-up, Ryan will use a series of methods to play down this matter as much as possible. Even if it is mentioned, it is only one of the many heavyweight gossips in Hollywood.


    "Anthony..."


    Looking at the newspaper in front of him, Michael Eisner, who was sitting behind his desk, dialed a number, and his anger seemed to erupt like a volcano at any time, "Who told you to stab this out? It''s not the time yet, I Didn¡¯t I tell you to keep secret for the time being? And your target of attack is also wrong! I have other goals next, and I need Nicole Kidman¡¯s full support!"


    "Hey, Michael." An explanation came over the phone. "This matter has nothing to do with me."


    "Isn''t the information leaked from our side?" Michael Eisner frowned.


    "Definitely not." On the other side of the phone, vowed, "I can guarantee it."


    He is not a fool. After hanging up the phone, he suddenly thought of a possibility. Why did Ryan Jenkins do this?


    Could it be that the other party was aware of the plan behind him and wanted to get rid of the shackles on his side in this way, but also wanted to show favor to Nicole Kidman by taking responsibility?


    It''s a pity that Nicole Kidman has already boarded the Disney ship without hesitation, and there is no room to look back...


    Although this incident was exposed and a tool of coercion was missing, in this circle, strength and interests are the ultimate guarantee.


    Thinking of this, Michael Eisner dialed a phone number. The Australian woman was still useful, and it was necessary to explain and reassure her now.


    The sun is shining on Lanai. From the day Ryan arrived, the island was temporarily closed to tourists. Although reporters appeared on the nearby sea, few people dared to trespass into private territory.


    In this country, especially for a super rich like him, trespassing in private territory is a very serious problem.


    Even if there is an uproar in North America, there is still a cheerful holiday atmosphere here.


    "Wow, Ryan, they all say you are a playboy."


    Sitting in front of the computer, Taylor ate the freshest pineapple and flipped through the web page. From time to time, he yelled a few words to Ryan who was chatting with Natalie, "Hey, it''s all like this, so many people say Support you."


    In front of Natalie, Ryan could only pretend not to hear.


    "Wow¡­¡­"


    The little girl seemed to see something extraordinary again shouted, "A critic in Salt Lake City, calling on everyone to boycott your work in the future."


    Salt Lake City?


    Ryan poked his mouth slightly in disdain, and that city was the real scandal center.


    "You don''t seem to care at all?" Natalie raised her eyebrows suddenly.


    "Whatever they say." Ryan shrugged indifferently, "Besides, aren''t some media still taking a neutral stand?"


    "playboy!"


    These words seemed to be squeezed from between Natalie''s teeth.


    Ryan checked the time, calculated the time difference between New York and Hawaii, turned on the TV, and greeted the other people in the room at the same time.


    "Christine, and Alison, you should rest."


    If it is on live TV as in the previous life, it is not very suitable for minors to watch. ()

 Chapter 509： Disaster and after

    When the two little guys came out of the room, Ryan sat in front of the computer and kept flipping through several blog sites and portals. The exact time of the incident had long been forgotten. He only remembered it was 9 US Eastern Time. After 8 o''clock in the morning on the 11th, counting the time difference, it seems to be almost the same.


    "What are you looking at?" Natalie also came over, "Do you want to see the comments on the Internet with your own eyes?"


    "Nothing." Ryan clicked on a link to a blog site.


    "Do you need me to leave?"


    It was Scarlett who was sitting alone, "I feel like an extra-large light bulb now."


    "Scarlett." Natalie glared at the grinning girl.


    This is a blog mainly for recording personal logs. After the page was refreshed, Ryan finally saw the long-awaited picture. Although the smoking building is vague, the simple text below is sufficient to prove that something is on time happened.


    "Scarlett, switch to the TV station." Ryan reminded the girl who was bored playing with the TV remote control.


    "What happened?" Natalie asked curiously.


    "The twin towers seem to be on fire."


    There was no detailed explanation on the blog, and Ryan had to say something vaguely.


    Scarlett Johansson was quickly tuned to the TV station, and there was a lighthearted scene on the screen. The live broadcast "Today Show" was going on, and the host Katie Kurik was still happily talking about "Manhattan autumn morning is really beautiful." ...''


    Did you remember the TV station wrong? Ryan couldn''t help frowning slightly.


    At this moment, the screen switched to the cheering people on the streets of Manhattan, and then the twin towers as the background were billowing in smoke.


    "What happened?" Natalie and Scarlett asked at the same time, "Is there a fire in the World Trade Center?"


    "Keep watching." Ryan shook his head and said that he didn''t know.


    After waiting for a while, the camera finally zoomed in near the World Trade Center, and a news host said anxiously while standing in the camera. "The following is urgent news. At around 8:45 US Eastern Time today, the North Tower of the World Trade Center Twin Towers was attacked by an unknown object. According to witnesses, it was probably an aircraft or a missile..."


    then. The lens gave the North Tower a close-up. Thick smoke and flames are clearly visible.


    "God." The two girls had already covered their mouths.


    Ryan recalled the information confirmed half an hour ago, and certainly no one of his relatives or friends was near the World Trade Center. Then he let out a sigh of relief.


    I am not a saint, nor a great man, only the close people around me can take care of and help.


    "This won''t be a terrorist attack..."


    As soon as Natalie''s voice fell, there was a jaw-dropping scene on TV. A civil airliner crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, and immediately ignited a raging fire like the North Tower. The screams, noises, and sirens became chaotic, and it seemed that the whole of New York had fallen into the end of the world.


    "Oh, God!"


    "Oh, God!"


    The reaction of the two girls who have witnessed all this can be imagined. Strictly speaking, they are both New York girls.


    "This is not true, is it?"


    The younger Scarlett was still whispering, and Natalie had picked up the mobile phone. He dialed the number of his parents in New York, and after hearing the words from the other side, he breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned on Ryan''s back.


    "New York has suffered a terrorist attack."


    Scott and Pie Kingsley rushed into the study. "Ryan..."


    "I saw it." Ryan motioned to them on the TV screen, "Scott, the stock market will definitely fall, so be prepared."


    "I see."


    A few minutes later, the TV station reported the latest news. The National Aviation Administration banned any aircraft from entering the airspace of New York, Boston, and Washington. The New York City government also closed all tunnels and bridges.


    Subsequently, US President George W. Bush, who was visiting an elementary school classroom in Florida, received the news that the second plane hit the World Trade Center. He immediately released a short speech in another classroom of the school after the class, saying that the United States Being attacked by terrorists, the US government will launch a comprehensive investigation into the cause of the plane crash, calling the incident a "national tragedy."


    Then, everything that happened in the previous life happened. Everyone witnessed the collapse of the North Tower and the South Tower...


    "My dear, our holiday is over."


    Ryan patted Natalie on the back and said to George, who had been silent, "Inform Captain Smith and be prepared to return to Los Angeles at any time."


    If the it-share myth is shattered and another golden age of the American economy is ended, then this terrorist attack has brought all-round changes to American society.


    This incident is the second attack in history that caused heavy casualties to the United States after the Pearl Harbor incident during World War II. The Bush Administration¡¯s condemnation and position on this incident have also received sympathy and support from most countries.


    In particular, Bush Jr. delivered a televised speech to the country at the White House, "Terrorist attacks can shake the foundation of our largest building, but they cannot touch the foundation of the United States. These terrorist actions destroy steel, but they cannot weaken the steel-like determination of the United States in the slightest.


    This televised speech also made the popular support rate of the president, who was jokingly described as only higher IQ than pigs, reached the peak of his eight-year term, as high as 89.58%.


    Terrorist attacks have changed the lives of Americans. The tourism, aviation, and insurance industries have suffered a huge blow. There are a lot of inspection procedures for ordinary people on airplanes, and a slight mention of the topic of airplanes and bombs will attract a lot of attention. Trouble, these have also brought significant changes to Hollywood. All powerful celebrities and celebrities have begun to purchase their own private jets.


    Of course, these are not problems at all for the rich who have reached the level of Ryan.


    The federal government soon formally determined that this was a terrorist attack, and later determined that the murderer was al Qaeda.


    In his previous life, there were endless conspiracy theories about this incident. Ryan didn''t want to explore, nor did he need to explore. What he wanted to consider was how to use this incident to bring the greatest benefit to himself.


    As for whether the federal government did it itself, even a pig sitting in the presidential position would not issue such an order. At most, it is like Pearl Harbor, knowing it and maximizing its benefits...


    This is a federal country. If the foundation laid by the ¡®fathers¡¯ of the country is smashed, the United States is bound to fall apart. What advantage does this have to actually control the capital of this country?


    As Ryan expected, the gossip about him previously hyped in the media stopped abruptly after this incident.


    After the federal government determined that it was a terrorist attack, Ryan and the people surrounding him publicly condemned the terrorist act. That night, he, together with Natalie and others, set fire to the port on Lanai Island. Candles to mourn the victims.


    In the following time, he contacted Hollywood celebrities one after another, or publicly issued a statement of condemnation, or accepted interviews to comfort the families of victims or sacrificed firefighters.


    "Pat, in my name, send invitations to all qualified movie stars and singers in Hollywood."


    On the yacht returning to Los Angeles, Ryan told Kinsley about the follow-up plan, "After the grief in the United States has calmed down, a large-scale memorial event will be held."


    After returning to Los Angeles, Ryan began to wander among many big figures in Hollywood, including Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts in the film industry, Michael Jackson, Madonna Siconi and Maria Kay in the music industry. Li, director James Cameron, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, etc.


    These people quickly joined them, and Ryan became a veritable leader among them.


    Any celebrity with a little brain will not miss this moment and join in one after another. The TV station promised to broadcast the event live.


    One week after the disaster, the nation seemed to wake up from the pain. Severe punishment of the murderer and mourning for the victims became the themes of social activities. Therefore, this charity fundraising and memorial party also kicked off.


    "There is a hero, if you look deep in your heart..."


    At the party, Ryan, who had long since retired from the pop music scene, sang "Hero" with Maria Carey, which he wrote and composed at the beginning.


    "Then a hero came, full of power, and continued, throwing your fear aside. You know that you can survive, so when you feel that your hope is broken, face yourself and be strong. In the end you will find this In fact, you are a hero!"


    The audience sat on the seats of the Hollywood Bowl, standing in the surrounding aisles, with the lights shining on them, and the faces of these people were full of tears.


    When the camera looked around, there were too many people crying in the picture, and the song was full of contagion.


    "Don''t let anyone break our dreams, just hold on to it, hope is right ahead..."


    This song has pushed the atmosphere of the party to the most In the past week, we have been immersed in immense grief, but the pain in our hearts will never be as great as those of families who have lost their loved ones. "


    Ryan stood on the shell-shaped stage, surrounded by solemnity, "May this song bring them hope and strength."


    Later, he left the stage. At this time, actions were more powerful than words. The United States was still immersed in pain. There was no need to brag about some things. The media had been paying attention to him.


    On the second day after the party, the mainstream media reported on the party with front-page headlines, unanimously placing Ryan in the position of organizer and leader, and used a huge amount of space to describe Ryan¡¯s related issues. The fact that charitable foundations donated 50 million US dollars.


    As a result, the mainstream media selectively forgot about certain things, and even if they mentioned it, they would try to brief them as much as possible. At a time when the United States is working together to overcome difficulties, the topics of unity and 9/11 are the real focus.


    Even after the incident subsided, the tabloids would still bring up this topic, but the effect caused by the fried cold rice was far worse. ()

 Chapter 510： Female superhero

    The impact of this incident on Hollywood was also huge. The number of theater audiences dropped sharply. Not to mention the films that were just released, the box office of "The Lord of the Rings 1" alone did not exceed 500 for two consecutive weeks after September 11th. Ten thousand U.S. dollars. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    And there are more films and programs that have to change the release date because of the violence and sensitive scenes, such as Leonardo DiCaprio''s new film "New York Gangs" and so on.


    In addition, the crews currently filming and about to be filmed almost all canceled their overseas framing plans. Many first-line Hollywood stars have expressed their reluctance to go abroad for filming, including Kim Carrey, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and others. He unanimously expressed his unwillingness to work as a trapeze for his job.


    "What we need now is neither funny nor exciting. We should let people see the hope of rebirth after disaster. What the United States needs is strong."


    Before entering the Los Angeles branch of the FBI, Ryan accepted an interview from a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, "Hollywood needs reflection. I think after this disaster, some good works that truly reflect the significance of the times will emerge."


    As long as this type of movie can make money, Hollywood will surely swarm it.


    Hollywood producers are definitely a group of people with a keen sense of smell. They will definitely adjust their production plans. In the event of a disaster, firefighters, police and other rescuers will bravely run to the disaster instead of avoiding it. Such a movie The role is more respected than ever.


    In fact, Ryan also initiated a program called Made in America.


    American consumers have always held an open attitude, but since the 9/11 incident, the choices of producers and consumers in the entertainment industry will definitely tend to be ¡®Made in America¡¯.


    At this time, those superheroes who call the wind and call the rain to save the people in times of crisis will inevitably become the new favorites of movies.


    As for the most suitable goal now. Neither Spider-Man nor Iron Man, who is more suitable for this moment than Captain America?


    These are things for the future, Ryan must first solve the troubles from the aspects.


    of course. He didn''t even short the stock market. Looking for him is definitely not a summons or something.


    With the use of force by the United States against Afghanistan, this incident has entered a brand new stage. In order to thoroughly interpret and prevent terrorist conspiracies, experts from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation have specially invited a group of Hollywood film and TV screenwriters and directors to calculate landmarks that may be targeted by terrorists across the United States and develop them. Countermeasures. To remove the threat posed by terrorist actions.


    In the conference room, Ryan met many acquaintances, such as the famous screenwriter David Cope, the great directors David Fincher and Spielberg, and Joseph Chido who is good at anti-terrorism movies.


    Even a Lieutenant General and Brigadier General of the Air Force participated in the discussion.


    These people from Hollywood are undoubtedly imaginative guys. Certain wild ideas often make the eyes of the two generals jump. Fortunately, these ideas can only be realized on the big screen, otherwise the United States will have to die.


    Finally, Hollywood choreographers left a large number of specific stories and characters, and experts based on these inferred various terrorist attacks that may threaten the United States in the short term.


    "Hey. David."


    Out of the Los Angeles branch building, Ryan called to David Fincher before he got into the car, "Can you talk?"


    "Is there anything, Ryan?"


    David Fincher made a please gesture, and the two got into the car.


    "You know, David." Ryan closed the car door and said straightforwardly. "Faced with the current situation, we have to make some changes. I want you to be the director of my next film."


    "The next movie?" David Fincher asked tentatively, "The pirate series that circulated in Hollywood."


    "No, no, it''s a surprising superhero."


    David Finch once competed for the director of "Spider-Man" and was familiar with the most famous heroes of Marvel. Hearing Ryan say this, after a little thought, he came up with the answer, "Captain America?"


    "Yes, Steve Rogers." Ryan shrugged gracefully. "The comics are only a reference, and the storyline surprise will be reset."


    "Let me think about it?"


    In this world, the copyright issue was resolved in advance, and with sufficient financial support from Ryan, Marvel developed faster. The success of "X-Men" and "Blade Warrior" also made them bolder. Soon after the collapse of the Twin Towers, They realized that this was the best opportunity to bring Captain America to the big screen, and then began to adjust the entire big plan accordingly, and constantly communicated with Ryan on the story line in the email.


    Although the final script has not yet been determined, the framework of the story has been established. As long as the director is in place, the entire project will start.


    In addition to Steve Rogers, Peggy Carter and James Barnes, the protagonists of the film also have Wolverine who introduced the Roaring Commando in the first part of "X-Men".


    In addition, at Ryan''s suggestion, another role was added.


    When arriving at the Planet Hollywood restaurant, Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson and Taylor were already waiting here.


    "Ryan, what advice did you give?"


    Just sitting down, the naughty little girl leaned over, "Did you blow the White House to pieces? Or razed the Capitol to the ground?"


    "Yes, Ryan, hurry up and talk about it." Scarlett was also curious.


    "I guess it''s the White House." Charlize helped Ryan set the tableware.


    "Actually, it''s the White House." Ryan grabbed the little girl''s juice, took a big sip, and ordered another piece of pasta before continuing. "My hypothesis is that if the president''s senior security adviser rebels, Collusion with terrorists, what should we do after occupying the White House and kidnapping the President?"


    "But...but..." Taylor scratched his face. "Why did that senior adviser betray?"


    "For example... his son, a soldier."


    After the waiter delivered the spaghetti, Ryan took the knife and fork, "Because the president signed the order to go to a battlefield in Afghanistan and died there again, he held a grudge, and the vice president and the speaker wanted to be president. some type of¡­¡­"


    "Honey, this seems to be a movie." Charlize covered his mouth and laughed softly.


    "It doesn''t fit right now." Ryan shook his head, now shooting this kind of movie is simply seeking a dead end.


    "Don''t talk about it." Scarlett asked suddenly curiously, "If the terrorists really occupied the White House and hijacked the president, what should we do? Ryan, did you give me any advice?"


    "It''s very simple." Ryan raised his index finger. "You only need a superhero to solve all terrorists."


    "Superhero?" The three women''s faces were covered with black lines.


    Regardless of the other two people, Ryan looked at Scarlett Johansson, "Scarlett, are you interested in being a female superhero?"


    "Me?" Scarlett was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "I heard Charlie say that you want to shoot Captain America, don''t you..."


    She rolled her eyes, as if thinking of something.


    "Natasha Normanoff..."


    As soon as Ryan said what he said, Taylor next to him said, "I know, I know, it''s Black Widow."


    "There is not much plot, just a cameo." Ryan said briefly, "However, in the future, he will be a very important one in the Avengers."


    "No problem." Scarlett nodded without hesitation, and then peddled to Taylor, "Wow, I can play with Ryan."


    "Could you find a character for me?" Tyler''s royal blue eyes widened.


    "If you don''t mind being the background."


    Hearing Ryan''s words, Taylor wrinkled his nose, "I should continue my music study."


    "Why is Captain America?" the little girl asked, "I would rather see the Hulk."


    "My dear, America needs a hero now, and we will give it the most suitable hero."


    Black Widow¡¯s candidate has been determined. As for Wolverine, Hugh Jackman has signed a contract with Marvel Comics, and guest appearances are not a problem at all.


    At present, Ryan has officially confirmed with Stan Lee that the Black Widow will adopt the age setting in the comics. It will be a former Soviet born in 1928, who had an intersection with Captain America and Wolverine in World War II.


    As for the love affair with the Winter Soldier in the comics, it was just thrown away.


    In Marvel comics, almost all the girlfriends of superheroes cheat. This kind of green hat plot is nothing in the story. If it appears in the movie, it is really a weapon to drive the audience away.


    Now Scarlett Johansson is only sixteen years old, which is exactly the same age as Natasha Romanoff during World War II, and she is simply a suitable candidate.


    The dinner was to see Charlize off. Ryan and his team quickly rushed to Los Angeles International Airport. The South African Diamond was going to New York to film a scene in "X-Men 2".


    "The crew will return to Los Angeles after finishing the location."


    She has been sent to the private tarmacTaylor and Scarlett took the initiative to hide, Ryan kissed Charlize, "We will see you soon."


    Ryan will also appear in "X-Men 2" and will be part of the Easter Egg, becoming a memory of Wolverine. In the limited memory that Logan recovers, he remembers how he fought alongside Captain America in the Roaring Commando Part of the screen.


    Just as Charlize got on the business jet, he suddenly turned his head back, "Ryan, do you need me to explain something to those tabloid reporters?"


    "I''ll take care of it." Ryan could only glared at her.


    Charlize Theron giggled and stepped onto the plane.


    Although the mainstream media rarely mentioned that gossip, even if it was mentioned, it was mostly regarded as one of many Hollywood scandals, but as 9/11 became more and more distant, some tabloids inevitably brought it up again.


    For Ryan, their influence is extremely limited, just ignore it.


    Besides, he has no time to pay attention to these clowns because of the long-delayed acquisitions that have to be resolved. ()

 Chapter 511： disagree

    The fall of the Petronas Twin Towers is undoubtedly another blow to the already sluggish US economy, and this is most directly reflected in the stock market. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    After 9/11, the New York Stock Exchange suspended trading for four days and then reopened on the following Monday, while the Dow Jones Index fell more than 14% on the first day of trading.


    In order to save market confidence and avoid adverse effects on economic recovery, the Federal Reserve and the US Securities Regulatory Commission announced a series of emergency measures.


    During the market break, the US Securities Regulatory Commission convened the heads of major commercial banks and investment banks to discuss the situation, unify their thoughts, seek measures to stabilize the stock market, and allow listed companies to raise funds to repurchase the company¡¯s stock in large quantities. The earnings per share performance level is equivalent to injecting a large amount of capital into the stock market. At the same time, the repurchase behavior also shows the attitude of listed companies to their own stock prices. The Fed also cut interest rates twice in the case of seven consecutive interest rate cuts.


    The federal government has launched a fiscal stimulus package of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars at the fastest speed.


    These timely and effective policy interventions have stabilized investor confidence to a large extent, and the stock market has gradually stopped falling and stabilized. The stock market quickly bottomed out two weeks after 9/11, and basically returned to its previous level in October. The short-term adverse effects of this time have been largely eliminated.


    The re-stabilization of the market has also allowed some companies to restart their long-planned listing plans, such as Google.


    In the previous life, Google¡¯s previous financings were difficult. In 1999, the two founders tried their best, but they secured an investment of US$25 million. In this life, the investment from Ryan is four times this number. , In the following time, he has received a large amount of investment.


    Of course, they paid more than 40% of the equity.


    Sufficient funds and a rapidly expanding Internet market. All have brought this company''s rapid development speed, especially the it stock myth created by Yahoo, which is deeply related to it, which makes them envious.


    However, Google''s road to market is full of anxiety.


    According to the original plan. Google¡¯s management wants to go public in mid-2000. But encountered the bursting of the it bubble.


    According to the company''s development and profitability, as well as the secret promotion of Ryan and some people on Wall Street who want to divide the cake. They plan to go public again this year, and just when everything is on the right track and a few steps away from the market, 911 is here again...


    but. None of this hit Google''s confidence. The stock market picked up slightly, and the listing plan that was about to be completed finally came to an end.


    The latest financial report released by Google shows that its profit in the first half of the year reached 445 million U.S. dollars, and several financial institutions on Wall Street evaluated that this number will grow rapidly in the future. Because it faces a huge market with an annual increase of 3 to 5 billion US dollars.


    In late October, after long-term preparations, Google officially landed on the Nasdaq public offering, with a single share price of $85. At the close of the day, it rose to $100.4, and the overall market value exceeded $25 billion.


    JPMorgan Chase and Credit Suisse have become the largest customers of stock offerings. Not only are they optimistic about Google now, they even predict that Google''s market value will double in the next one to two years. It is not a problem at all.


    Because of Wall Street''s unanimous optimism, Google instantly became a sought-after star stock.


    By November, its single-share stock price was close to US$130, and its overall market value exceeded US$30 billion. It even helped the Nasdaq Index to get rid of its decline, and high-tech stocks gradually began to pick up.


    Almost the entire Wall Street believes that Google will become the new leader in online stocks, with unlimited potential in the future.


    There are countless Google pay orders on the market, and Wall Street investment institutions are actively contacting Google¡¯s shareholders, hoping to get a share of the pie.


    Ryan, Google''s largest shareholder, naturally became the focus of everyone''s attention.


    And his plan has come to the most critical moment. Google''s early listing did not encounter Waterloo, so that he has enough confidence to no longer need to start alternative plans.


    Sharing with Wall Street is affirmative and necessary, but they also have to come up with some conditions. Besides, he has reached preliminary agreements with certain Jewish groups.


    Because some intentions were reached before 9/11, the final conditions are naturally much faster now. Ryan transferred 20% of Google shares and 10% of Blizzard Entertainment shares at market price, and then paid a premium. By way of acquisition, most of the Disney shares in the hands of these investment institutions were obtained.


    As for Blizzard, the "Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos" released this year has created a myth in the industry. Its market value has increased by a full 30% compared to the beginning of the year. After the stock market returns to normal, it has become a leader in the stock market together with Google. Star stocks.


    When Wall Street invested in Disney not to run an entertainment company, it was more for profit.


    Although the relationship of many years of business has played a certain role in it, the key role is undoubtedly the interest. As long as there is enough interest, the vampires don''t mind whether the target of the transaction is the devil.


    Then, Ryan and Murdoch and Redon Dadda reached the final agreement to exchange part of Blue Sky Studios shares and the copyright of the "Terminator" series for Disney shares in the hands of News Corporation, and cash plus the copyright of "Mission Impossible" In this way, we got the Disney shares in Viacom¡¯s hands.


    And promised that the three parties will jointly invest in the production of a new spy series "The Bourne".


    Capital is always profit-seeking, and in the face of huge enough immediate interests, it will make natural choices.


    All of this was secretly signed by the authorized representatives of both parties on the last working day of this week.


    After transferring a series of equity and copyright, and paying more than 7 billion US dollars in cash, Ryan''s shares in Disney increased to 45%, becoming the largest shareholder of Disney.


    According to relevant regulations, information must be released to the public with more than 10% of the shares of a listed company. However, the day the agreement is signed is already the last working day of the week, and it is fully in line with the regulations to postpone the release until next week.


    And next Monday is Disney¡¯s shareholder meeting.


    ...


    Disney¡¯s general meeting of shareholders was not held in the Disney headquarters building. Instead, it chose the No. 1 meeting room of the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.


    After annexing Pixar, what new measures Disney will have is undoubtedly the focus of the entertainment media''s attention, since the sun has just risen. A large number of media reporters gathered in front of the hotel.


    "Disney and Pixar are a strong alliance, and we will return to the glory of animation."


    Before Michael Eisner entered the hotel, he deliberately accepted an interview with reporters, and the head of Disney was proud of spring breeze. It is as if the entire Disney Group has changed the surname Eisner. "I have made a detailed plan, and Disney will continue to follow my vision..."


    "Mr. Eisner. Ryan is currently Disney''s second largest shareholder. It is said that there are irreconcilable conflicts between you. Will this affect Disney''s next development?"


    "There is no problem between us."


    Michael Eisner waved his hand casually and walked into the hotel.


    After the general meeting of shareholders. He will start a new round of financing and other plans to dilute the shares in that guy''s hands until he is finally forced out of Disney.


    Shareholders with no rights and no duties? He smiled and shook his head.


    "Hi, Michael, there is something so happy about it."


    Just in front of the conference room, Ryan came from the other side and happened to see Michael Eisner. "It''s better to speak up and share it."


    Good luck guy! Michael Eisner snorted softly. He naturally knew some of the situation after Google went public. Apart from such emotions, he didn''t know what to say.


    Ryan shrugged. First walked into the meeting room.


    He turned around and changed seats with a retail shareholder.


    On the left are the agents from Wall Street. Although most of their shares have been transferred to Ryan, they still hold a certain amount.


    On the right are Ed Camel and John Lasseter. After the share swap, the core of their Pixar group owns a total of nearly 3% of Disney''s shares.


    Saying hello to the people on Wall Street first, Ryan stretched out his hand to Ed Kamel, "It''s been a long time, Ed."


    "Everything is going well?" Ed Kamel asked.


    "Successful." Ryan nodded, and then said in a low voice, "Are you and John ready to take charge of the entire Disney animation department?"


    The two smiled knowingly.


    Suddenly, Ryan felt a needle-like gaze, turned his head and looked over, it was Nicole, the Australian girl was still expressionless, and the look in his eyes was still a bit cold.


    Well, he admitted that after losing Pixar, he hadn''t changed too badly. Nicole couldn''t vent his anger, and it was normal.


    There is not much difference in the general meeting of shareholders of each company. After two hours and a rest period, the most important topic in the morning came to the election of a new president, chairman and One-Michael Eisner.


    In the eyes of most people, Michael Eisner has just led Disney to annex Pixar and continue to serve as chairman is a logical matter.


    Don''t even prepare a competitor who walks through the scene?


    Ryan looked at the big screen at the front of the conference room, showing how powerful the tyrant''s desire for power is.


    And Michael Eisner looked at him, and the corners of his slightly puckered mouth were clearly mocking and smiling as a winner.


    Even if his net worth has once again become richer, at Disney, he is always just a shareholder who has little right to speak. Now with the shares in his hands there is still a bit of weight. After a period of time, the shares are diluted and they are of no importance. .


    These are some very cryptic thoughts of Michael Eisner.


    Moving his gaze to another place on his own initiative, Ryan shook his head slightly.


    I still vaguely remember the relevant reports I have read in previous lives. Now it is almost a copy of Michael Eisner¡¯s step down. At the original shareholder meeting, the chairman and the candidate were only himself, but the shareholders did not buy it. With more than 40% of the votes of no confidence, he was forced to step down.


    Of course, Michael Eisner in his previous life did not take Pixar, nor was he the largest shareholder of Disney. He is now even more powerful.


    However, the power of Wall Street in the previous life was too scattered, and it was not concentrated by him like it is now.


    "I agree!" Michael Eisner was the first to express his position.


    As one of the most traditional Hollywood companies, Disney uses the most traditional voting method


    "agree¡­"


    "agree¡­"


    "..."


    The large screen showed that the supporting shares quickly reached 30%, and a smile appeared on the face of the Disney tyrant.


    "disagree!)

 Chapter 512： How can everyone betray their relatives

    Amidst the voice of support, the opposition was so harsh and eye-catching that most people followed the voice and looked at it. It was an agent from a Wall Street investor. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    Michael Eisner''s forehead twitched. What are these vampires going to do? He swallowed Pixar himself, but increased their equity!


    However, he didn''t take it too seriously, after all, he could bring benefits to them.


    However, the current chairman of Disney would not have thought that someone paid several times the benefits he could bring.


    "agree!"


    "agree!"


    The equity that supports him is still growing, and the number displayed on the big screen quickly rises to 30%.


    "I¡­¡­"


    Finally, the voting rights came to Ryan, "I don''t agree."


    No one was surprised. The contradictions between Michael Eisner and Ryan are no longer a secret.


    However, Ryan''s subsequent words shocked many people.


    Seeing that the opponent''s shares increased by less than 10%, Ryan suddenly reminded, "Just one more thing, my shares are 45%..."


    "It''s impossible." The voice came from a board member of Disney.


    Michael Eisner was still calm, sitting there quietly, waiting for the next explanation. When the person opposite was only ten years old, he knew him, this...this shouldn''t be a joke...


    "We didn''t get any information." Michael Eisner''s assistant said tacitly.


    "Well... on Friday, I talked to News Corporation, Viacom and Wall Street..."


    After the names of several investment institutions, Ryan looked at the watch and said, "We will disclose the information to the market today, and it is estimated that it has already been made public."


    The venue was silent for a moment. None of those present are fools, knowing that this is in full compliance with the regulations.


    The assistant made several calls quickly, and after waiting for a while, he leaned into Michael Eisner''s ear and whispered a few words. The calm look on that face gradually collapsed. The two beads of sweat rolling off his forehead were unusually obvious.


    "Yes, we transferred part of our Disney shares to Mr. Jenkins on Friday." The agents from Wall Street also quickly proved Ryan''s statement, "The specific transaction agreement will be sent today. To Disney."


    There are some things that just need to be done, and there is no benefit in saying more.


    After relevant verification, the numbers on the big screen were quickly corrected, and Ryan smiled slightly at the people around him. It returned to its previous appearance.


    "disagree!"


    "disagree¡­¡­"


    The people at Pixar sitting next to Ryan made their choices one by one.


    they? this is?


    It was only then that Michael Eisner had the consciousness that a hunter could completely become a prey...


    Despite the turmoil in his heart, he is no ordinary person after all. After taking a deep breath, he tried his best to keep calm, except for the sweat on his forehead and the corners of his mouth slowly falling down. Showed inner shock.


    Those who don''t know, still want to understand something up to now, their twinkling eyes turn around, especially when they look at Michael Eisner''s gaze clearly with mockery and sympathy.


    in fact. The following vote was completely meaningless. Forty-five percent of Ryan''s equity voted against it, unless he was cheeky and refused to leave. As usual, Michael Eisner should step down.


    Unsurprisingly, more than 80% of the agents from Wall Street voted against it, and more than 60% of the shares opposed.


    Losing the last hope-the support of Wall Street, Michael Eisner slowly closed his eyes, as if he couldn''t believe this scene was true.


    Just half an hour ago, he thought he was in control of everything about Disney, now...


    traitor! All traitors!


    Although he was scolding in his heart, he was still sitting there. He knew very well that since Wall Street had chosen Ryan, the other party must have paid a large enough benefit. In the face of benefit, how much affection can those people talk about?


    There are News Corporation and Viacom, Summer Redstone and Rupert Murdoch are also bastards, betraying themselves so completely for profit.


    "disagree¡­¡­"


    Those who spoke successively were representatives of News Corporation and Viacom, and their shares were already negligible.


    I have been in charge of Disney for almost 20 years, and I shouldn''t be treated like this.


    Suddenly, a somewhat old voice interrupted his thoughts. It was Roy Disney, his opponent and collaborator.


    "disagree!"


    The other party represented the entire Disney family, and there was only disdain and mockery in his eyes.


    When and what choice should I make, Roy, who has lived for more than 70 years? Disney naturally understands this.


    Then, more opponents appeared.


    Until the last one, the woman with long red and blonde hair, Michael Eisner suddenly had a little hope.


    Resignation is unavoidable. If the two people really become enemies, then Ryan Jenkins will not have a better life.


    "disagree."


    Those pale blue eyes swept across here, and Michael Eisner only felt indifferent, as if he did not exist in her eyes.


    Ryan turned his head and looked at Nicole, the light blue eyes that were greeted by him were still as sharp as needles.


    The "bang" sound was not very loud, but it was very clear in the large quiet conference room. Everyone looked over and saw that the cup on the table in front of Michael Eisner was overturned somehow, and the brown liquid flowing out from It looked like blood in the distance.


    Although Michael Eisner''s expression is still calm, even a fool knows that this person is really bleeding in his heart.


    After a short recess at noon, Ryan deliberately visited some executives including Roy Disney. Whether it was for his own benefit or for the continuation of the Disney family in the company, the other party quickly reached an agreement with Ryan. Agreement.


    After the working meal, the meeting kicked off again, and Michael Eisner still sat in his place.


    Although he is destined to lose his position as chairman and chairman, he has run Disney for so many years and is one of the major shareholders, so he is naturally unwilling to give up.


    After first announced that Michael Eisner would not continue to serve as chairman. Roy Disney asked to take the initiative to speak.


    His speech was directed at Michael Eisner himself, and in front of a group of shareholders, he counted out his "three sins"!


    "Improper employment, nepotism. Makes Disney''s various supervisory agencies a display..."


    "Use money carelessly. Shareholders'' money is like pocket money, you can use it whatever you want..."


    "Improper use of power. Let the entire Disney management become synonymous with his personal will..."


    Among them, Roy Disney specifically mentioned the hiring and dismissal of Michael Ovitz.


    "Why did Michael so readily reach the largest salary and breach of contract with Ovitz in the United States? Is he trying to show off Disney''s strength, or just want to prove that his worth as chairman is naturally higher than Ovitz? Much, or, as the outside world guessed, they are friends and they are suspected of cheating for favoritism?"


    Michael Eisner is the professional manager Roy Disney introduced to Walt Disney. Who would have thought that after more than ten years, the servant would become the master, and the Disney family would soon become a completely negligible part of the Disney Group.


    Roy Disney must have endured this tone for a long time. Now that he has the opportunity to knock down the dog, he will definitely not let it go.


    These words. Ryan had prepared it for himself, but Roy Disney, Walt Disney''s nephew, was obviously more suitable than him.


    In the short meeting at noon, he expressed his support for Roy Disney to become chairman and lifetime honorary advisor. And the other party''s son entered Disney''s management to prepare for the future directorship.


    Disney is about to usher in a drastic change. It is undoubtedly the best buffer method to bring out representatives of the Disney family. Besides, Disney stipulates that directors who have reached 72 years old will retire, and Roy Disney is 71 years old.


    The Disney family has long since fallen, and under the triangle of checks and balances and subsequent strengthened supervision, the waves will not come out.


    Michael Eisner''s face finally turned pale, even whiter than that of Nicole, who is known for his pale skin. In the past ten years, who dared to accuse him face to face?


    Or in this way of condemning?


    He couldn''t help looking at the minority shareholders and directors who had always supported him. All those people''s eyes looked elsewhere, and no one paid attention to him from beginning to end.


    Those people are not fools either, and an era for Walt Disney is over.


    Because Michael Eisner was completely rejected, a new chairman and chairman must be elected.


    Ryan stood up without hesitation, and did not say too long.


    "I will just say a few points. The choice is yours."


    "Increase the investment of Disney''s animation department and re-establish Disney''s well-deserved status as an animation giant."


    "A brand new trilogy suitable for Disney. I guarantee that the North American box office will exceed 1 billion, and the global box office will exceed 2 billion. It will also make our amusement park regain the attention of the world."


    "Wholly acquired Jenkins Pictures and Marvel Comics, plus Pixar, we will operate the movies produced by the three subsidiaries across the entire industry chain."


    "The children''s stories that have not been adapted into a movie in the Ryan Story Collection are fully authorized to be used by the Disney Live Action Film Department."


    "After Harry Potter was released, Disneyland was authorized to add a Harry Potter area."


    Whether it''s an animated movie or a live-action movie, all Hollywood knows what magic powers Ryan is speaking about. These shareholders are very clear about what Disney needs.


    Especially when they heard about the wholly-owned acquisition of Jenkins Pictures, the shareholders laughed one by one. The big-selling movies, the copyrights of the series of movies, and the movies being produced all represent huge Income.


    Although mergers and acquisitions will result in a further increase in the equity in the counterparty''s hands, they, minority shareholders, are most concerned about the benefits that the shares in their hands can bring.


    And this series of mergers and acquisitions, like annexing Pixar, is more in line with their interests.


    Don¡¯t mention anything else, just say "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone", which will be released during the Christmas Thanksgiving. The forecast of this movie by several professional organizations is one billion US dollars at the global box office!


    What if this kind of family carnival movie lets Disney operate it? This is the type of movie that Disney is best at.


    Don''t talk about the follow-up surroundings anymore, Disney Park can also add a Harry Potter area, think about it, it all represents long-term stable income. ()

 Chapter 513： Can celebrate

    In the following two days, Michael Eisner showed a strong psychological quality, always exercising the power of shareholders, even if he almost became a veritable solitary man.


    Even if he persisted, it would be meaningless. Ryan''s series of measures not only brought benefits to himself, but also ensured that other shareholders would also obtain obvious benefits, and they were supported by the vast majority of people.


    Besides, the equity that stood firmly on his side was obviously more than 65%, and it was not too difficult to push forcibly.


    Of course, Ryan would not do it as a last resort.


    When the general meeting of shareholders was over and the press briefing was held, the media discovered that Disney had ushered in the biggest upheaval since 1984.


    Michael Eisner not only lost the position of chairman and chief executive officer, he was no longer a member of the board of directors.


    Roy Disney became the new chairman, and Robert Iger and Dick Cook were promoted by Ryan to the positions of chief executive and president. In this way, the power between the three forms a new triangle of checks and balances. At the same time, Disney has strengthened the powers of the nomination committee and other supervisory agencies to prevent the recurrence of precedents like Michael Eisner.


    As for Ryan''s side, it must be the one who has gained the most.


    He is not good at management. If Disney really gives him the power of day-to-day management, I am afraid it will soon become a mess.


    North America has a sound professional manager system. As long as supervision is not relaxed, there is no need to do everything by yourself.


    In addition to occupying an important seat on the board of directors as the largest shareholder, Ryan also served as the creative director of Walt Disney, and has the power to directly intervene in all film businesses under its umbrella. This position is infinitely close to the founder, Walt Disney''s overall production. Film producer'' position.


    The former Pixar executive vice president John Lasseter will serve as the chief creative director of the new Disney animation department and the chief creative consultant of Disney Dream Engineering. The former Pixar president Ed Kamel will serve as the president of the entire Disney animation department. , The two are directly responsible to Ryan, Robert Iger and Dick Cook.


    The Pixar studio was handed over to veterans such as Andrew Stanton and Peter Dougert.


    In a sense, Roy Disney¡¯s chairman is more like a mascot to achieve a smooth transition of Disney. The old man may be a little unwilling in his heart, but Ryan gave the Disney family far more than Michael Eisner¡¯s time. Times.


    Subsequently, Disney announced more explosive news, and sent out a good faith merger invitation to Marvel Comics and Jenkins Pictures.


    Not long after, Marvel Comics and Jenkins Pictures responded positively to this invitation, and the three parties started formal negotiations a few days later. Obviously, the highest levels of Marvel Comics and Jenkins Pictures were well prepared for this situation.


    Will this wholly-owned merger and acquisition fail? The media are not fools, knowing who is behind all this, a new behemoth is bound to come to Hollywood.


    Negotiations proceeded extremely smoothly. People like Jinsli, Scott and others had agreed with Ryan for a long time. When it came in late November, the three parties reached an agreement, and the merger still adopted cash financing and stock swap. .


    As the largest shareholder of Jenkins Pictures and the actual controlling party of Marvel Comics, Ryan¡¯s shares in Disney have increased to 57%. If we add Nicole, Kingsley, Scott, etc. who are also Disney shareholders, Although Disney is still Disney, it has become a new''Jenkins Pictures'' with a complete industrial chain.


    After the merger, there will definitely be a series of internal problems. Robert Iger, who has a relatively mild personality, is undoubtedly a good hand to solve these problems. After all, he did very well in his previous life.


    In addition to financial aspects, Marvel Comics, Jenkins Pictures, and Pixar Studios still have relatively advanced businesses, but the entire industry chain operation model will fully transform the advantages of these three companies in movies and comics into huge profits. .


    In short, it takes time and process for Walt Disney to fully integrate these three companies.


    However, only the changes in the stock market have made those shareholders who chose to support Ryan happy.


    Disney is rapidly expanding like an inflatable. Not long after the completion of the merger, its market value exceeded $60 billion in one fell swoop. The value of stocks in the hands of shareholders has greatly increased, and the net income per share can be fully estimated.


    This is a multi-party win-win transaction.


    Wall Street investors reselled Disney shares and made huge profits, while the shares of Google and Blizzard bought from Ryan have been rising.


    Ryan has obtained a complete industrial chain that can maximize the benefits of what he is most interested in.


    There are also News Corporation, Time Warner and Viacom. After the merger, Disney reached a new agreement with them. Although there is a competitive relationship with each other, mutual shareholding is the default rule of the media group.


    The vast majority of people or investment institutions have been quite satisfied with their gains during this period of change, and the most dissatisfied or angry person must be Michael Eisner.


    For the benefit, Wall Street can support him, and for the same benefit, the shareholders of Wall Street and Disney abandoned him.


    Michael Eisner lost all his positions at Disney and became the kind of unemployed shareholder he once mocked in his heart.


    Of course, he is one of the best professional managers in Hollywood and even in North America. It doesn''t seem to be too difficult to find a job as an executive in a large group.


    However, having lost the throne of Disney''s chairman and chairman, he undoubtedly lost his biggest amulet.


    In mid-November, the Delaware Court of Justice ruled on the case of Disney shareholders suing former chairman and Michael Eisner and other board members, concluding that Disney directors were negligent and dereliction of duty regarding Oviz¡¯s exorbitant remuneration and severance payment. , Judged that the directors of other companies including Michael Eisner bear joint and several liability, and Michael Eisner bears the main responsibility, and the individual has to pay compensation and interest for this amount to a total of 100 million U.S. dollars.


    With Michael Eisner''s net worth, this money is not a painful one, but the loss of the ruling that he lost in the lawsuit has caused him to lose his reputation, and no one can make up for it.


    For a professional manager, how important is credibility to the United States, where the business is highly developed?


    The only thing left for Michael Eisner is to retire early and find a place to end his life.


    At the same time, Disney is also optimizing on the basis of internal stability. It has given up several holding companies acquired by Michael Eisner because of his ambition and power. Among them is Miramax.


    This medium-sized film company sold it back to its founder, the Weinstein brothers, at market price.


    When Disney was reorganizing, the English football world also ushered in a drastic change.


    Prior to this, Ryan already owns 62% of Manchester United''s shares. From the surface, it seems that due to the lack of liquidity caused by the abandonment of leverage acquisitions and the strong opposition of Manchester United fans, this acquisition is not dead or alive. Here it is.


    In fact, since the beginning of October, the relevant personnel of the ¡®Red Football¡¯ company have renewed contact with other shareholders of Manchester United¡¯s non-fan organizations, preparing to initiate a new round of acquisitions.


    These people are different from those die-hard fans. Perhaps they also have fans, but the first concern is certainly not where the acquisition of capital comes from, but how much benefit they can get from it.


    To put it bluntly, as long as the price is right, it is not difficult to impress these people. The Glazer family in the previous life also proved this.


    In November, the ¡®Red Football¡¯ company released new data to the market. The holdings of Manchester United¡¯s shares in its hands increased to 72%, and Manchester United was infinitely close to withdrawing its trading from the stock market.


    Fans rushed again and launched another round of protests.


    In sharp contrast, the attitude of the Manchester United management, from the general manager to the support, and because this is not a debt acquisition, the opposition from the fans is relatively small.


    Soon, the ¡®Red Football¡¯ company reached an agreement with several shareholders to increase its shareholding to more than 75%, and soon removed Manchester United from the London stock market.


    At this point, Manchester United has completed the transformation from a listed company to private property.


    However, the ¡®Red Football¡¯ company did not give up and continued to negotiate with other shareholders while taking the absolute initiative.


    The public support of Alex Ferguson and David Beckham, who have great influence among fans, became the last straw to overwhelm the camel. The remaining individual shareholders and those who are not too stubborn The football fan organization also transferred its shares.


    As a result, Ryan''s shares finally reached 90%. According to relevant regulations, regardless of whether the rest of the fan organization agrees or not, they must transfer their shares in Manchester United, the most successful football club in the Premier League era. has completely become his possession.


    Needless to say, if you want to win the support of Manchester United, those management who actively contacted him needless to say. Ryan promised Alex Ferguson to increase the transfer fee budget every season and fully support him in the Manchester United team. Technological reform.


    As for David Beckham, it''s even simpler, he got Victoria Beckham directly.


    Ryan promised that the former noble hot girl would introduce her to the upper class in Hollywood as a friend. Mrs. Beckham, who had traveled back and forth between London and Los Angeles but had not gained much, immediately made the wisest. select.


    From the selection and creation of Beckham, it can be seen that Victoria is a smart woman. How much effort will be saved in the future if Ryan can be solemnly introduced to the big figures in Hollywood?


    Ryan is also a person who keeps his promise and chose a grand party to push the celebrity couple to Hollywood.


    This is a party convened by Ryan in the name of Disney. He has prepared for a hard-won victory for several years. Naturally, he has to celebrate with his allies in the grandest way. rs()

 Chapter 514： We are all crazy

    Taking the Beckhams around in the banquet hall, and then solemnly introducing them, Ryan returned to the side where friends gathered. Victoria Beckham is a sociable woman, and what she lacks is undoubtedly Heavyweight referrer.


    "I heard that Disney is going to abolish the hand-drawn animation department?"


    The person who asked the question was the former head of Disney Animation Studios, and now the president of DreamWorks Animation Studios, Jeffrey Katzenberg, "Isn''t it true, Ryan?"


    "My opinion is to lay off some employees." Ryan looked at the two Disney executives Dick Cook and Robert Iger next to him. "Dick and Robert think that Disney''s full shift to computer animation is in our interest. I¡­¡­"


    Ryan looked at Roy Disney on the other side and shrugged gracefully. "Obviously, they convinced me and Roy."


    "This is a very simple calculation problem."


    Because there had been close cooperation before, Disney executives and Ryan were very familiar with each other. In addition, during this period of time, they also spoke very directly. Robert Iger stated the currently accepted facts, "train a qualified painter." Which time with a computer programmer is more expensive? Also, when the "Lion King" was made, the average annual salary of a hand painter was only $120,000. What is it now? It is $750,000. Hand-drawn animation is more expensive than a computer. Animation takes longer and uses more manpower. The cost of labor alone will completely overwhelm our budget."


    Everyone is an insider who understands the situation, including Ryan, nodded.


    The decline of hand-drawn animation is not only a matter of technique and style, but Robert Iger¡¯s words are also one of the most important reasons.


    "It''s just a pity." Roy Disney sighed softly.


    "Perhaps ten years later, people are starting to be nostalgic." Ryan raised his glass to the old man. Smiled and said, "We can restart the hand-drawn animation."


    "Ryan, you always look at the movie market accurately." Roy Disney drank the remaining red wine in the glass, "I look forward to that day."


    Hear what the other person said. Ryan''s heart moved. Thinking of the bilateral negotiations being conducted by the federal government, "Jerifer. And Roy, don''t you think Hollywood should unite and put more pressure on the federal government?"


    "You mean the ongoing bilateral negotiations?"


    This is something that concerns the interests of Hollywood as a whole, and they naturally know it. Jeff Katzenberg said, "I heard about the latest concession proposed by the other party. The number of movies introduced to Hollywood''s ordinary account sharing has increased to thirteen, and the box office share has increased to 15%."


    As soon as he finished speaking, let alone the people around him, even he himself shook his head, obviously very dissatisfied.


    "This matter concerns the interests of all of us." Ryan also seemed rather helpless.


    "So. We should unite together."


    Shirley Lansing, who is in charge of Paramount Pictures, came over and said, "I have exchanged opinions with the person in charge of some film companies. Our bottom line is 25 ordinary split accounts with at least one month schedule. And no A box office share of less than 25%."


    "IMHO, Shirley." Ryan shook his head slightly. "It''s very difficult."


    If the other side wants to join, it must make concessions, but the current actions of the federal government also need to make some compromises with the other side.


    "I believe the federal government will not waste taxpayers'' money." Shirley Lansing laughed, "America needs Hollywood."


    "But Hollywood needs the world." Dick Cook interjected.


    Everyone laughed together.


    From the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of the tall figure walking towards the corner after the entertainment, Ryan whispered a few words to the people around him, and walked over.


    "Don''t drink such strong wine."


    Although never drank it, Ryan could tell from the color that it was a glass of whiskey, "It''s easy to get drunk."


    After speaking, he stuffed a glass of soda into Nicole''s hand and took the glass over.


    A cold whisper came from Nicole, "What tricks do you want to play? I''m still angry!"


    Since the Disney shareholders meeting, this guy called a few times a day, and came to the door once the next day, trying his best to make her happy, but the tone in his heart kept her angry.


    It''s one thing to maintain a tacit understanding about Disney, and another thing to do with others.


    "It''s nothing, just want to talk for a while." Ryan was rarely nervous when he gently turned the wine glass in his hand.


    "Do you think this is necessary?"


    As soon as Nicole¡¯s words were spoken, Ryan¡¯s head was tapped vigorously, and he blurted out, "If you drink this glass of wine, we can have a good talk."


    The rotating wine glass stopped silently. About half a second later, Ryan picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.


    As soon as his tongue came into contact with the spicy liquid, he felt that his wrist was hit hard, and the wine glass could no longer be held. It fell to the floor, making a clanging sound, and some of the wine splashed on the dark dress. .


    Fortunately, this is only a corner of the banquet hall. There are not many people around. The only people who heard the movement, saw Ryan and Nicole here, and turned their heads back tacitly.


    "How much do you drink?" The pair of light blue eyes stared at him like steel pins, "Are you crazy? I''m crazy, are you crazy too?"


    "Hey, dear." Ryan hurriedly motioned to her to be quieter, "I''m fine, I promise, there is no problem."


    Although he is allergic to alcohol, the chance of being as unlucky as in his previous life is not high.


    "We are all crazy!"


    Nicole whispered coldly, pulled his arm, and walked towards the exit on the other side.


    Ryan hurriedly turned his head and made a gesture to George, asking him to speak to Disney''s senior management for himself, after all, he was one of the hosts of the party.


    "Hey, Nicole, don''t be nervous."


    Ryan was still explaining when he got in Nicole''s car, "Look, I have nothing to do except blush a little bit."


    "Shut up! Ryan!"


    Seeing the long-lost stern eyes, Ryan closed his mouth unconsciously, and then threw a handkerchief on his head.


    Simply wiped off the wine stains on the dress, and looked at Nicole''s pale face like Antarctic ice, Ryan had no choice but to remain silent.


    Scenes from when I was a child suddenly flashed through my mind, kind Nicole, strict Nicole, beautiful Nicole, Nicole who swore to make him pay...


    Not to mention a glass of wine, even if she pushed herself out of the car and then drove over it again, it was natural.


    Both of them were silent, and returned to their former home in silence.


    "Elsa, notify everyone that we will be off for a while."


    As soon as she walked out of the garage, Nicole told her housekeeper, "You can go home and wait for my call."


    What is this going to do? Ryan couldn''t figure it out.


    Entering the villa, the two sat facing each other, Nicole kept her face cold, Ryan wanted to say something, but really didn''t know what to say.


    After more than ten years of getting along, the feelings between them are the most complicated.


    "Know, Ryan, do you know how I spent more than a year? If it weren''t for Judy, Kate, Nami, and Annie, they were with me..."


    Nicole stared at him coldly and broke the silence, "Do you know what I think about the most during this time? I want to throw you into the sea first, and then kill all those two women!"


    "Do you want to see me doing this?" Her eyes were as sharp as steel needles.


    From those pale blue eyes, Ryan saw the danger, "Hey, Nicole, calm down, keep calm, okay?"


    "Sit here, don''t move, don''t watch."


    Suddenly, Nicole stood up and walked in the direction of the kitchen behind him, "If you don''t want me to turn my face, just keep the way I am."


    Keep it as it is now? Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, it didn''t matter even if it was sitting all night.


    It''s been a long time since he came here, and he didn''t know if there were any surveillance equipment, just in case, he just sat here quietly and waited for Nicole to come back.


    About ten minutes later, there was the sound of high heels falling from behind. Nicole¡¯s footsteps sounded a bit heavy. Even though he wanted to look back, Ryan managed to bear it, since Nicole took the initiative to take him back to their home. , That shows that things have begun to take a turn for the better, and now the most important thing is forbearance.


    "I don''t want to anger others, although I really want to kill them, so the share that belongs to them is yours!"


    Just when Ryan was thinking about what Nicole''s words meant, the waves of water fell on his head and flowed on his body again. The icy feeling made him caught off guard for several chills.


    Seeing the ice cubes rolling down with the water, Ryan couldn''t help looking at Nicole.


    "My dear, enjoy the present I gave you."


    At the same time as the voice sounded another small plastic bucket was picked up by Nicole, and the water mixed with white crushed ice fell on his head like a waterfall.


    "Sneez~"


    The water mixed with crushed ice fell from his head, wet his light brown hair, and then rolled down his face onto his body, even the sofa turned into a vast ocean.


    His physique is inherently cold-resistant, and only he can understand the feeling at this time. However, Ryan knows that he deserves the crime. If Ni may vent the anger in his heart, let the ice water come more violently.


    "You know, Ryan."


    Two plastic buckets were kicked by Nicole and fell to the floor. "I just wanted to understand one thing during this period. I was so kind to you in the past."


    After speaking, she walked aside, found the thick blanket on the bed, and threw it on Ryan''s head.


    "My dear, don''t challenge my endurance anymore." Nicole walked towards the second floor and said without looking back, "The opportunity is always only once, you know me, and I will do some things... )

 Chapter 515： Mess 78

    "Also, don''t let those two women appear in front of me, otherwise I can''t guarantee that I will do anything." Turning to the corner of the stairs, Nicole dropped the last sentence and sighed.


    That''s it, life has to go on, do you have to spend time in boredom in the future? Is it possible that when I am bored in the future, I can only hide in the room with Annie and vomit the fog?


    I am now an Oscar actress, a director of Walt Disney and the second largest shareholder. The hidden foundation shared by the two has billions of assets...


    Among them, how much effort did the **** behind do? How much thought was spent?


    No one knows better than her, what he has done for her, the most iconic women in Hollywood and the top richest women in North America...


    If there is no Ryan, I am afraid I would be just an ordinary Hollywood female star.


    Turning his head and looking around, it was faintly visible that the **** was packing up his clothes. Nicole felt that the long-pressing breath in his heart finally dissipated part of it. This time, he must remember it for a long time.


    Was he too kind to him before? Maybe you should teach him a good lesson once in a while? Even Nicole didn''t notice it, and the corners of her mouth had already turned up unknowingly.


    For Ryan, this was undoubtedly a very bad experience. He wiped off his wet hair, casually changed into dry clothes, cleaned up the messy living room, and mourned for the leather sofa that was as miserable as him for five seconds. Bell, then went up to the second floor.


    Walking to the door of the very familiar room, he raised his index finger and tapped a few lightly.


    "Hey, Nicole."


    When the door was opened, Ryan just wanted to go in, but Nicole was stopped in front of him.


    "Go back to your own room." Looking at the still wet hair and red nose. There was still no expression on her pale face.


    "Don''t you want to talk for a while?" Ryan supported the door with his hand and scratched his wet hair with the other hand. "By the way, accept the results?"


    However, when Nicole''s stern eyes swept over. Ryan put his hand back unconsciously.


    "Wait a minute." Nicole said coldly. The door slammed shut, about two minutes later. The door opened again, and Nicole threw the two medicine bottles over, "Look at the instructions for yourself."


    This is certainly not a mess, it''s just a common cold medicine.


    After the door slammed shut. Ryan had to go back to the room he once belonged to, took a hot bath for the first time, then drank the pills, sat on the bed wrapped in a velvet quilt, and looked at the greatly changed bedroom carefully.


    A lot of things in the bedroom were gone. When Nicole''s anger was at its peak, she threw them all at Jenkins Manor. It was also the time she was driven out of Jenkins Manor, through which George and the two reached a silent understanding.


    After getting along for more than ten years, they have enough confidence in each other in some aspects.


    Yes, Nicole was almost mad at that time. However, no matter how angry they are, it is also their internal contradiction. If outsiders intervene in it and take advantage of their contradiction, it will become their public enemy just like in the past.


    In addition to feelings, there are too many close entanglements in common with her, friends, companies, networks, etc., as well as a sister who loves Tyler.


    Speaking of which, the conflict with Nicole can be eased, and I have to thank Michael Eisner. If Disney hadn''t intervened in time, perhaps only God would know when Nicole would get rid of the state of anger.


    I heard that Michael Eisner is preparing to cash out part of Disney stocks to repay the huge sum of joint damages judged by the Trafal Equity Court. Do you want to send someone to contact him? Then...


    It is estimated that this former Disney tyrant will not sell his shares to himself at death, right?


    Disney has a complete industrial chain that can maximize the benefits of movies and other products, and it is a mature media group with a complete model of creation, shooting, distribution, after-sales, and peripherals. It does not need to rely too much on anything. A person.


    He only needs to increase Disney''s efficiency in a short period of time, so as to completely establish its position in Disney.


    Although he is a veritable controlling party, Ryan does not want to be another Michael Eisner. He also has a clear understanding of himself.


    With Marvel Comics and Jenkins Pictures merged into Walt Disney, it is no longer a luxury to operate a movie in the entire industry chain.


    Marvel Comics has no new movie release plans this year. "X-Men 2" is still being filmed in New York and other places, and "Spider-Man" is busy post-production, because Sam Remy added several episodes of Peter Parker crawling on the World Trade Center. The lens needs to be modified.


    The relevant Disney staff are coordinating with the people of Jenkins Pictures and Warner Bros., and want to participate in the release and later product sales of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone", and even discuss joining them in Disneyland as soon as possible, including Huo The feasibility of Harry Potter area including Gwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.


    These are also what Ryan is happy to see, and authorization alone can bring him huge personal gains.


    Today''s Walt Disney, the largest shareholder comes from his group, then Wall Street investment institutions, the third largest shareholder is the Disney family, and then the retail shareholders.


    In terms of shares alone, Disney can change the surname to Jenkins, but Ryan knows that Disney has a large number of old employees, whether it is from the actual interests or from the internal stability, the people in the Disney family must be given sufficient respect.


    The biggest problem after the mergers and acquisitions of countless large companies is internal friction.


    Ryan also fulfilled his promise to Roy Disney and introduced his son to the company''s management. If he retires, the other party will take over as a member of Disney''s board of directors.


    The kindness he released has also been responded to by the other party. Roy Disney has lived for so many years and understands how it is in his own interests. In this transitional chairmanship position, he fully cooperates with Robert Iger and Dick Cook. jobs.


    Of course, as a veritable controlling party, he has not been idle lately and has been busy checking the information of Disney''s various business units and branches.


    This is a huge group company, involving multiple media industries such as radio, publishing, movies, toys, cable TV, wireless TV, theme parks, and portals.


    Among them, espn of a+e television network is preparing to enter Europe and is currently negotiating with Manchester United to become Manchester United''s chest advertising sponsor after the expiration of the Vodafone sponsorship contract next year.


    Also, when Ryan was looking at Disney¡¯s related online subsidiaries, he found an extremely weak video website department. After logging in and operating for a while, he immediately proposed to spin off this department separately and set up a company called a subsidiary. In accordance with certain operating methods in the previous life, we will do our best to develop and operate this company.


    If video websites want to prosper, they need continuous large capital investment. They may be at a loss in the past few years. However, once they develop, they will help the TV and film industry to completely kill imdb and Rotten Tomatoes.


    Of course, the current video technology is also a big problem, which involves many patents, but the problems that can be solved with money are not considered problems.


    Ryan is thinking wildly here, and Nicole on the other side is vomiting clouds and mists. Since last year, she has asked her sister to come to Da Ma. When she can''t solve her troubles, she will **** a little, although the number of times is not enough. It''s frequent, and it''s far from addictive, but this kind of wandering feeling is undoubtedly a good way to forget your troubles.


    She knew that Ryan didn''t like this kind of thing very much. Since the two sides didn''t completely fall out, she must throw it away in the future.


    This bastard!


    Nicole suddenly thought that she had almost gone crazy in the past year, so why not drive him crazy once?


    Maybe after being mad, I don''t care about the others anymore.


    The early morning knock on the door awakened the sleeping Ryan. Although there was no word from outside the door, he knew that it was Nicole who urged him to get up for breakfast.


    This reminded him of how he felt before moving out.


    After washing, I came to the restaurant on the first floor. A few simple breakfasts were already placed on the white table. Nicole was sitting at the owner''s seat, tasting the fried egg and bacon.


    "Morning, dear."


    Touching his somewhat airtight nose, Ryan sat across from Nicole.


    "early."


    Nicole''s attitude was obviously better, and after nodding, said, "Hurry up and eat, I will go out soon."


    "Alison''s singing competition?" Ryan asked.


    He didn''t hurt this sister in vain, and Taylor acted as a lubricant between him and Nicole, which actually played a big role.


    For example, this time, Warner Records and Hollywood Records jointly organized a trainee singing competition, and she tacitly invited herself and Nicole to watch it at the same time.


    "She also invited me, why don''t we join us?"


    There was no objection to this proposal Nicole looked up at him and lightly tapped his chin, "Ryan, remember what I said yesterday, I won¡¯t say it again, too. I won''t give you a second chance."


    "I promise!" he said vowedly.


    After breakfast, Nicole called Elsa, the housekeeper, and Ryan drove her out of Beverly Hills towards a theater in Burbank.


    This was just an internal event. Except for the management of the two record companies and some pop music professionals, almost all the trainees'' relatives and friends were invited.


    In the eyes of many people, Ryan and Nicole greeted the executives of the two companies and directly looked for a seat with no one behind. At least this can reduce those curious eyes.


    To be a contract trainee for a record company, naturally there is a certain level of strength, but these guys who perform on stage have a low probability of becoming famous in the future. This is an industry with a very high elimination rate.


    Of course, most people sing well-known songs, and only a few like Taylor sing songs that have never appeared before. ()

 Chapter 516： Stay in

    "Thank you!"


    After the assistant took over the acoustic guitar, the little girl with longer and longer curly hair bowed a standard lady''s gift to the bottom of the stage, "Thank you."


    Ryan and Nicole clapped their palms a long time ago, and the applause from the rest of the audience was also extremely enthusiastic. Among these trainees who have already performed on stage, Taylor is definitely the best one.


    Squeezing the slightly red nose, Ryan looked to the side, and Nicole was staring proudly at the little girl walking towards the backstage.


    "Alison has made rapid progress," he said.


    "Yeah~" Nicole nodded.


    "I heard that you also sang a lot of songs in the new movie." Ryan leaned on the armrest connecting the two seats.


    "Of course." Nicole''s eyes slanted, "I still talked about a vigorous relationship, any ideas?"


    "No." Ryan shook his head quickly, "Of course not."


    "I have already greeted Pat and Harvey." Nicole suddenly turned her head and said deliberately, "They will do their best to PR for me."


    There were not many people sitting in the spacious theater, and the neighborhood between them was empty. Ryan simply stopped paying attention to the performance on the stage.


    "Well, then." He could only agree, "Do you need me to congratulate you in advance?"


    "Although it''s difficult to win the best actress again with "Moulin Rouge"." Nicole''s mouth was sneered, "But I won''t make you happy."


    "So, I have prepared another work for you." Ryan shrugged helplessly, "I believe Drew contacted you?"


    "I''m still thinking about it." Nicole''s words turned back again, "I always make small movements unknowingly, and I have to let you not take your affection... Hmph, this is really your style, Ryan."


    "I just make more preparations for the future."


    Just as this sentence was spoken, Nicole looked over again, "Is that really the case, Ryan?"


    "Hey Hey hey."


    There was a low, crisp female voice. I don¡¯t know when, Taylor ran over from the backstage, ¡°It¡¯s a public place now, do you want to quarrel here?¡±


    "Also, I''m sitting next to you, haven''t you seen it." The little girl wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction.


    "Honey." Ryan rubbed her curls first. "A great show."


    "Much better than Ryan at the same time." Nicole gave her a light hug, "Alison, we are all proud of you."


    At first he showed a bright smile, and then Taylor held up the hands of two people at the same time, "You can come to see me perform together, this is my happiest thing."


    She pulled the two people up. "Let''s go, let''s go, we haven''t been out to play together for a long time."


    Ryan asked Warner Records to say hello and took the two out of the theater.


    "Where are we going?" Ryan asked Taylor who was staring at him and Nicole with a grin in the back seat of the car.


    "Disneyland." Taylor gave the answer without thinking about it, "I heard a few guys say. There are some new Harry Potter items added there?"


    "Just some very simple performances."


    The car drove onto the harbor avenue leading to the southeast. Under Taylor¡¯s curious questioning, Ryan said something about Harry Potter, ¡°The movie will be released before Christmas, and the amusement park is just some simple publicity. Activities, the real special area will not be officially built until the movie is released."


    Disney¡¯s television stations and Disney Children¡¯s Channel have already launched intensive publicity for "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone", and movie posters and reality shows have even entered Disneyland directly...


    This is because of the short time. It is impossible to mobilize all Disney¡¯s propaganda power. However, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" brings together the two major media groups, Time Warner and Walt Disney, plus the sensation caused by Ryan and the novel. In terms of preparation, he killed the previous work in seconds.


    A publicity team for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" placed the stage at the most conspicuous place at the entrance of Disneyland. Those seemingly naive performances have attracted countless minors, and there are endless calls about''Harry'' and''Hermione''.


    "The two little actors are so funny."


    Standing a little further away, Taylor held Ryan with one hand. The other Nicole, who held the same sunglasses to cover her face, murmured and said, "Emma and Daniel are much better than them. They don''t perform like magic, but more like nonsense."


    "Honey, this is just publicity." Nicole squeezed her face affectionately.


    "I think we should leave." Ryan reminded.


    There were already curious eyes cast inquiring gazes around, and some people even took out their mobile phones.


    Here is Los Angeles, where paparazzi informants are everywhere. Although for some reason, the mainstream media did not continue to stir up news about him and Nicole, it would be quite troublesome to be caught by the tabloids.


    "Let''s go home." Tyler took them to the parking lot. "We should wait for the Harry Potter area to be completed. I will have fun with Scarlett and Christine."


    With Tyler, Nicole''s sharp words are much less, and occasionally when the little girl is messing around in the car, she will laugh with her for a long time.


    Back at the former home, Nicole personally cooks. Even though the dinner is far from a sumptuous meal, it makes Ryan and Taylor appetite.


    "Scarlett, this little fat girl, wants to star in the same movie as Ryan."


    Sitting around the white dining table, Tyler poked the beans on the plate hard, "She always shows off in front of me, she''s mad at me."


    "Ryan, you must find a role for me, even if it only shows one side." She knocked on the plate and looked over.


    "Are you sure?" Ryan swallowed the food in his mouth and asked.


    "of course."


    With a no problem gesture, Ryan looked at Nicole on the opposite side, "Honey, are you interested in acting in a superhero movie?"


    "Not interested." Nicole didn''t raise her eyes.


    The little girl next to him made a face, and Ryan reluctantly returned his gaze to the plate in front of him.


    "Captain America?" Nicole suddenly said again.


    "Well, Scarlett starred in Black Widow." Tyler winked at Ryan mischievously, and answered first, "Nicole, I think Peggy Carter is very good."


    "Pass me a script."


    Rubbing the little girl''s head, Nicole left the table.


    Ryan quietly gave Tyler two thumbs up, in exchange for the little girl''s mischievous smile.


    After dinner, the three sat in the living room and chatted for a while. When it got dark, Taylor gave a big yawn.


    "I should go home." The little girl picked up the sofa and picked up her backpack.


    "Aren''t you staying here?" Nicole''s gaze left the fashion magazine.


    "No."


    After the little girl shook her head, Ryan called the driver. Tyler blinked at him and said goodbye to Nicole, "Austin has been naughty lately. I''m going back to look at him and educate him by the way."


    Nicole couldn''t help laughing, walked over and kissed her on the forehead, and drove her into the car with Ryan.


    "I''m going to rest."


    Only the two of them were left in the bright villa, and Nicole looked for a few more magazines. Take it and walk to the second floor, "You can go home."


    "This is my home." Ryan followed afterwards.


    Pushing open the bedroom door, Nicole heard the footsteps behind, turned back and stopped at the door, staring at the stopped Ryan with light blue eyes.


    "Your room is over there." She curled her index finger and knocked on the door frame.


    "There is no computer in my room." Ryan said casually, "Aren''t you asking for the script of "Captain America", I will send it to you in the mailbox."


    The red and gold eyebrows were frowned. Nicole let him in.


    Entering the room, Ryan walked straight to the desk, skillfully opened Nicole¡¯s notebook, entered the full spelling of his name in the password field, and the computer started successfully. He found the information about Captain America from the encrypted mailbox and passed it on. To Nicole.


    Nicole kept standing behind him, saying nothing from beginning to end.


    "The script has not been finalized yet." Ryan flipped through the mailbox casually. Try to pretend to use a computer as much as possible, "The main line of the story should not be changed. After the script is completed, I will ask Stan to send you a copy."


    "Come on, Ryan." Nicole threw away the magazine in her hand and suddenly walked towards the bedside table. "I know you. Just like you know me, I know what you are thinking and what you want to do."


    With that, she opened the bedside table. Take out a familiar metal box.


    "Nicole..."


    Ryan frowned tightly, got up and walked over, "Didn''t you give up?"


    "Quit?" Nicole sat on the bed and opened the metal box. "I did quit before, but do you know how hard I have been this year?"


    Sitting next to Nicole, Ryan hugged her gently, "My dear, those are all gone, don''t smoke anymore."


    "Passed." Nicole''s smile brought a hint of sarcasm, "Okay, I can assume that all of them have passed..."


    Ryan grabbed her wrist, Nicole had opened the box, picked up the lighter and rolled it into a white strip.


    "Okay, I can quit Nicole suddenly took out one more and put it to Ryan''s mouth, "Do you know how many times I want to be hysterical? You accompany me crazy for the last time tonight..."


    "Tomorrow will be the past." She pressed the lighter, and the flames rose.


    A pair of excited men and women took off each other''s clothes. They were entangled together as they did in the past. Perhaps it was a relationship that had been suppressed for too long. Both of them seemed extremely crazy.


    Especially Nicole, she squeezed Ryan down and twisted her waist frantically, as if she wanted to use this method to vent the only remaining anger.


    This was just the beginning. The next day, Nicole threw away those things as promised. The two people turned off all the communication tools in the villa. Except for each other''s bodies, they didn''t think about anything.


    "No, stay inside." This is what Nicole would say every time at the end, "I want a child. With him, you will have nothing in the future."


    Ryan didn''t object, as long as she could keep Nicole. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommended votes, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to read.) 9()

 Chapter 517： Bilateral agreement

    After hiding in the former home, after lingering for a few days, Ryan and Nicole gradually resumed their normal relationship, but compared to the past, Nicole¡¯s attitude towards him has obviously changed. On the surface, it is more severe. a lot of.


    Although Nicole knew that with the current status of the two of them, this kind of harshness might not work, but wanted to fully show her attitude in this way.


    Ryan also knew that if it hadn''t taken advantage of the Disney incident, Nicole would not necessarily give in, and naturally she would not mention certain things before her.


    After leaving Los Angeles and going to Harvard, he came to New York and reached an agreement with the top management of Marvel on the next shooting.


    After that, I went to the Blue Sky Studio and briefly checked the progress of "Ice Age 2".


    Although "Ice Age 1" is not as popular as "Monsters Electric Company", it has also won more than 200 million US dollars in the box office in North America, and as the distributor, Twentieth Century Fox has the full authority to represent various peripheral sales of cartoons. , These have brought gratifying income.


    No matter how you look at it, it is imperative to make a sequel to this animated feature film.


    After a series of agreements were reached, Twentieth Century Fox became the second largest shareholder of Blue Sky Studios. News Corporation would like to take this animation studio under its banner to make up for the biggest shortcomings of Fox Pictures.


    This is why they fully supported Ryan some time ago.


    Ryan knows very well that he directly controls Pixar through Disney, and is the largest shareholder of Blue Sky Studio and DreamWorks Animation Studios. Now DreamWorks Animation is still not well-known. When "Shrek" is released, this kind of The situation cannot continue.


    Benefit sharing is always the theme in this circle.


    Of course, if News Corp. wants to become the largest shareholder of Blue Sky Studio, it must provide conditions that make him tempted enough.


    "In my opinion. You can go behind the scenes in full."


    This is the reception that Rupert Murdoch convened in the mansion. The media tycoon looked at Ryan, who is no less wealthy than him. ¡°With your current status and status, there is absolutely no need to continue acting in movies.¡±


    "Everyone has a hobby." Ryan turned his gaze back from the luxurious decoration of the banquet hall, and raised his glasses to the Murdoch couple. "Rupert. Don''t you think that portraying classic characters and participating in classic movies. Is it very interesting?"


    "More, whether it''s the director or the producer, who can treat Ryan as an ordinary actor?"


    It was a middle-aged blond man who was talking, and he walked over with a blond woman taller than Nicole. He took the initiative to extend his hand to Ryan, "Hello, Ryan, this is Donald Trump."


    "Hello, Donald." Ryan shook his hand and said politely, "It''s nice to meet you."


    "Ryan. I heard..." Donald Trump greeted the Murdoch couple and turned back. His target was obviously Ryan. "I heard that you just sold the Long Island villa."


    "Yes. It can be considered a small profit." Ryan replied casually.


    Because Natalie is sure that after Harvard graduates, he will settle in Los Angeles, and he has a long-term private room at the Waldorf Astoria. After Spielberg has photographed the holiday villa he bought before, he simply resold it to the Jewish people. Old man.


    "Don''t you want to own real estate in New York?" Donald Trump said after a few instigations in his unique tone, "Trump Tower has the best and most valuable apartment in New York. Are you interested? Maybe you can go over and take a look tomorrow."


    Of course, Trump Tower Ryan has heard that the former New York real estate tycoon in front of him is a smart man. It didn''t take long to get out of the bankruptcy crisis, and he began to think of ways to win back his wealth.


    However, he has no interest in being other people''s living signs.


    "I can only say sorry." Ryan tactfully refused without hesitation, "I will contact you if there is a need in the future."


    The''the.'' located at 40 Wall Street is indeed very famous, but this reputation is more derived from Donald Trump¡¯s constant self-promotion in the upper-class society and the media, although Trump claims its value is 400 million. U.S. dollars, but several professional organizations estimate it is only 90 million U.S. dollars.


    As if remembering this famous TV host, Ryan frowned slightly, but unfortunately, he knew very little about reality shows like American TV shows.


    "I heard you bought a football club?"


    The Murdoch couple went to greet other guests, and Donald Trump spoke again, "I also intend to invest in the Premier League."


    "Oh..." Ryan laughed. "Manchester also has a Premier League team, Donald, why don''t you buy it and let us be neighbors?"


    This young woman who obviously didn¡¯t understand the Premier League and his daughter was holding him, whispered a few words in his ear, and Donald Trump said, ¡°That club¡¯s reputation is too small, and it¡¯s in line with my goal. Does not match."


    "That''s it."


    It seemed that the real estate tycoon didn''t seem to be joking. Ryan couldn''t help but squeezed his chin and said, "There is a club in London called Chelsea. I heard that there is capital from Russia and I am very interested in it."


    "Russian?" Donald Trump, the upstart in the US media, said disdainfully, "It''s just a group of upstarts who only rely on resources to make money."


    With an elegant shrug, Ryan was about to leave, "Donald, if you are interested, you can contact Wall Street Trust Company. They are good at this."


    This company is the Wall Street investment company that assisted Ryan in acquiring Manchester United.


    Although this man has just eased his breath and is not considered to be the top rich man in North America, it shouldn''t be difficult to play a Premier League club. As for the rich Russian man, don''t care about his business, although he seems to be real. Love football.


    Although many wealthy New Yorkers came to this reception, most of them came from media-related industries. Ryan, the new Disney controlling party, was naturally the focus of attention in the field.


    Just walking away from the famous father and daughter in the previous life, Ryan quickly surrounded a group of people.


    Among these people are executives from Time Warner and News Corporation, as well as famous producers and film company owners such as the Weinstein Brothers.


    "A huge market with a population of 1.2 billion has opened its arms to Hollywood." It was an executive director of Time Warner who spoke. "The bilateral agreement has been signed. This is a major victory for the film industry."


    "Don''t forget, the box office over there doesn''t even have a tenth of that of North America." Someone poured cold water.


    "The market needs to be cultivated. Both "Titanic" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have achieved success there."


    "Moreover, the number of screens and box office sales over there are showing a straight upward trend." More and more people participated in the discussion.


    "In this regard, we have to admire Ryan''s vision." Gerald, who is in charge of Warner Bros., said, "Paramount Pictures and Jenkins Pictures are the most successful companies in the Chinese market."


    "I heard that Disney is negotiating the latest amusement park project with Shanghai?" Another person also cast an envious look.


    Ryan had to raise the cup to everyone, "This is a victory for Hollywood, we should celebrate."


    Everyone laughed and toasted together.


    Although Hollywood has fierce internal competition, it can always be closely linked in matters related to the interests of the entire entertainment industry.


    Major groups, including Walt Disney, have exerted considerable pressure on the federal government. The "Memorandum of Understanding on Resolving Film Related Issues" signed in Los Angeles not long ago has changed a lot from the past.


    After fierce bargaining, the two parties reached a series of agreements on movies.


    Most obviously, the share of Hollywood movies has increased from 13% to 20%, and the amount of ordinary shared movies has also increased from 10 to 20.


    In addition, the other party will also introduce special sub-ledger films and some films that have bought out the copyrights of overseas screenings based on specific circumstances.


    Even though there has not been much progress in combating piracy, protecting peripheral copyrights, and increasing distributors, such an agreement has also increased Hollywood''s determination to further develop the world''s largest market.


    Since the acquisition of Jenkins Pictures, Disney Pictures'' branch in the Far East has merged with Jenkins Pictures¡¯ offices to concentrate on developing this brand-new market. Disney¡¯s films are undoubtedly easier to pass. The type of audit.


    Over the years, the office of Jenkins Films has also made a lot of contacts, and it will always help to introduce their own films.


    Especially superhero movies, this is the type that can call the wind and the rain over there.


    Unfortunately, the cost of building deformable robots with the current cg technology is too high, otherwise one after another Autobots fighting the Decepticons could start.


    Hmm... China-US relations have undergone a lot of changes after 9/11 It is entirely possible to find a few Chinese actors as supporting roles that are not too important.


    For the box office and for the sales of peripheral products, Optimus Prime and Megatron are destined to love each other for a lifetime.


    With this idea, Ryan joined the filming crew of "X-Men 2" and returned to Los Angeles together. The rest of the scenes will be completed in the studio. Among them is the Easter Egg about Wolverine and Captain America fighting side by side. Of the lens.


    Because "Captain America" ??is still in preparation, only a few actors have been identified. This is just a scene where two people are fighting, and it is not difficult to shoot.


    As for the Roaring Commando, it is still being formed. According to Ryan¡¯s suggestion, the image of several members will be highlighted. For example, there must be no few blacks, as well as Asians, Latinos, and Slavs. The **** ally of the British.


    In the words of the other side, uniting all forces that can be united is one of the loudest slogans chanted by the mainstream media.


    And "Captain America" ??is a standard theme film. When it is released at this time, it will naturally conform to the characteristics of the current era. ()

 Chapter 518： Punch to the flesh

    Upon arriving at the familiar Fox Studios, Ryan quickly found the studio where the crew of "X-Men 2" was located. Director Brian Singer was busy shooting. His assistant and Marvel Studios staff had long been Waiting at the entrance of the studio. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    "Ryan, maybe there are still a few scenes before it''s your turn."


    The two men just wanted to take him to the dressing room, they were stopped by Charlize Theron, "I don''t have a role for the time being, just take him there."


    The South African Diamond wears a standard X-Men uniform, and its beautiful curves look very attractive.


    "Charlie, you are so beautiful." Ryan followed her and exclaimed.


    "Really?" Charlize Theron suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile, "Then when will you be willing to go home?"


    "Hey, dear."


    Before entering the dressing room, Ryan quickly explained, "It''s just one day, and I..."


    "I didn''t say anything?" Charlize interrupted him.


    The prop artist and stylist were already waiting here, and the first thing Ryan saw after entering the door was the eye-catching shield, which was simply too American.


    Well, there is also the blue, white and red uniform, which is also the main theme.


    There is not much makeup that needs to be done, and he doesn''t even need to dye his hair. The most important thing is to change to the iconic hairstyle of the American team. He sits there and allows the stylist to take care of his hair.


    After taking the buckler, Ryan flicked the bottom of the shield with his fingers, and the clinking sound indicated that it was made of metal.


    "Of course, this is not sound-absorbing metal, and we can''t find that thing either."


    Several props masters arranged their blue uniforms and explained to Ryan, "This is made of aluminum alloy. It should not be collided too hard, otherwise it will be deformed."


    "Avery."


    Charlize sitting on the other side said. "Just a suggestion. When shooting Captain America, you should prepare a few more shields, in Ryan''s style..."


    She made a gesture that everyone understood.


    Several prop artists laughed. Said the man named Avery. "Actually, we ordered twenty at the same time."


    "Oh. Then I see people who are not pleasing to the eye..." Ryan deliberately joked, "Just slap him to death with a shield."


    After finishing the haircut, the group looked at Charlize and left the dressing room tacitly.


    Take off your shirt. Ryan looked at his figure in the full-length mirror. Compared with his previous life, his muscles were obviously different. Fortunately, he is also a person who insists on exercising all the year round. Even though his body is relatively well-proportioned, he definitely does not lack the muscles he should have.


    Strong and handsome men are for sure, there are no slender and beautiful men who are popular here.


    With the assistance of Charlize. Putting on the uniform that represents the identity, Ryan looked stronger and tougher. If he took on the iconic shield, it would have the taste of Steve Rogers.


    "Honey. You look so attractive." Charlize folded his arms around his chest and looked at Ryan with admiration.


    "You are also very beautiful now." Ryan buckled the shield on his left hand, raised Charlize''s chin and kissed gently on the red lips, "Still so alluring, oh...Jin? How about a century war between Gray and Steve Rogers?"


    "Are you sure?" Charlize bit his lower lip, "If you follow the setting, you don''t seem to be my opponent."


    "Actual combat is the standard for testing everything." Ryan squeezed her chin, leaned in and said in a low voice, "You take the costume home tonight, and then..."


    He walked to the door, "Jin, put on your uniform and wait for me at home."


    "Are you going to bring Peggy Carter with you."


    Charlize fought back and let Ryan escape.


    The fight scene between Wolverine and the Dead Lady is being filmed in the studio. This scene is the focus of the next few weeks. Because of makeup problems, there will be interspersed filming of other people''s scenes. About Captain America¡¯s egg, it was Brian. Singh was arranged in it.


    Logan played by Hugh Jackman and the dead girl played by Kelly Hu. Even ordinary fighting moves are extremely difficult to do. Hugh Jackman is better. After all, his paws are covered with silicone on his wrists. .


    But Hu Kaili was in a lot of trouble. The dead woman''s sharp claws were directly glued to her nails, and if they were touched hard, they would fall off.


    Of course, fighting scenes, like all movies, are basically composed of short shots, and they are definitely not good-looking when filmed.


    "Filming action scenes is simply a torment."


    Sitting far away from the camera, Charlize whispered to Ryan, "Fortunately, the Phoenix Girl''s settings don''t have to fight."


    "The Devil''s Head" does not have a premiere." Ryan did not answer her words, but mentioned other aspects, "I think you shouldn''t mind."


    "I understand." Charlize nodded, "Eileen Vonos''s death penalty review has just passed, and the movie is too high-profile to no advantage."


    "My Charlie is the smartest." Ryan couldn''t help squeezing her chin.


    Charlize shrugged. She knew that this was a niche literary film that could not be released on a large scale like "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone". Anyway, the movie was just for awards, and it didn''t matter.


    The crew temporarily stopped filming, and there were a few more stuntmen in the studio wearing strange Nazi uniforms with the hydra logo, Hugh Jackman went to make-up, and Ryan went to the director''s side.


    "Is the shooting going well, Bly."


    "Except for Wolverine and Death Girl, everything else is not too difficult."


    Because of the success of "X-Men 1", the director has also become a high-profile commercial film director. He stood up and said, "Ryan, the set has been set up, let''s go over there."


    This is one of the largest studios of Fox Products Factory. After adding some sets and models, an area has become a base for Hydra.


    Fortunately, what was shot in the studio was originally an underground scene, so it was not difficult to rebuild.


    Of course, this part of the booing scene, which is just an easter egg, is also extremely brief, mainly to let "X-Men 2", which will be released first next year, lead to the next "Captain America".


    After the collapse of the Twin Towers, it is undoubtedly the best time for superheroes to be on the big screen. Marvel comics will naturally not let go of this period. There will be three superhero movies next year. Apart from these two, "Spider-Man" will be released in May. May first meet with North American audiences.


    After Hugh Jackman with good makeup came out, Ryan exchanged some opinions with him. Tiger Chen, who served as the action director, once again asked the precautions, and the filming kicked off.


    Wolverine, who changed from superalloy claws to bone claws, was obviously not as strong as later. Faced with the sneak attack of the elite Hydra, he was accidentally knocked down to the ground, and another elite wanted to shoot. At the time, Steve Rogers arrived in time and shot two enemies with a shield.


    "Hey, Logan." Captain America pulled him up. "Can you play another round?"


    "You know, Steve." The grumpy Wolverine spoke with a loud voice. He pointed to the gun on the ground. "These gadgets can''t hurt me at all."


    "Then go ahead!"


    The two stood back to back, and several enemies came around.


    "Cut!"


    Brian Singer stood up, "Take a break and shoot again."


    He looked at the action director, "Tiger, redesign some actions for Ryan, remove all the elements of kung fu, and be more direct and more beautiful."


    "I understand." After Tiger Chen nodded, he began to summon his assistants.


    In fact, Tiger Chen has been very careful when designing his movements, but after practicing for so many years, he always incorporates some elements of kung fu into it without realizing it.


    This is the Captain America in World War II, Steve Rogers playing Chinese Kung Fu? That''s a big joke.


    Besides, this is an American movie with the most main theme, and the American fight is definitely more suitable.


    Because he would not be the director of "Captain America", Brian Singer only reserved today''s shooting time for this egg. After talking with Tiger Chen, Ryan briefly practiced the improved fight. Action, and then shooting restarts.


    This kind of play basically does not need to be too sophisticated in acting skills, as long as the two sides of the battle have a good grasp of the scale, the effect of the fight is more dependent on post-production technology. After shooting three more times, Brian Singh declared that the scene can be satisfied. ended.


    In order to highlight the image, Ryan did not wear a helmet in this scene. After removing his makeup, he sat quietly in the rest area, waiting for Charlize to finish today''s scene.


    Of course, he had already requested a Captain America uniform from the props team and put it away temporarily.


    In the setting of "X-Men 2", Jean Gray faintly showed her strong side as a Phoenix girl. The script specially designed a few scenes for her to be surprised by her hidden abilities, but the final "sacrifice" ''It completely covered up all this.


    Compared with the role of a pure vase in the first episode , there are a lot of places for Charlize Theron to play in this episode. Even if you look at it from any aspect, Jean Gray is still a vase.


    In fact, in the eyes of many film critics and professional media, Charlize Theron has become synonymous with professional vases, especially the role of Arwen, and was even commented by some newspapers as the ¡®most beautiful female character ever¡¯.


    In other words, it is the largest vase ever.


    However, this is also good, and after the release of "The Devil", it will definitely shock the entire critics.


    This film did not carry out large-scale publicity beforehand. Ryan left the entire team''s strength after the film was released. At that time, it would be better to cooperate with the characters in the film and conduct a massive public relations promotion.


    If there is no other means, it would be too difficult for a well-recognized vase actor like Charlize to get an Oscar.


    "Hey, dear."


    Charlize''s voice suddenly came from one side, and she raised the bag in her hand to Ryan. The black leather coat was faintly visible, "We should go home." ()

 Chapter 519： Devil

    The Phoenix female vs. Captain America became the life theme of Ryan and Charlize for the next period of time. According to the setting in the movie, Steve Rogers would definitely not be Jean Gray¡¯s opponent, but several games broke out in Jenkins Manor. In the war, every time it ended with Jean Gray''s begging for mercy.


    Even knowing that when Ryan was not going home, he must have gone to the other side of Beverly Hills, Charlize didn''t do much except for the occasional verbal run.


    The silent tacit understanding has been reached, and the one who destroys first is definitely the one who gets out first.


    She is very aware of her weaknesses and strengths.


    During this time, the most important thing for Charlize was the release of "The Devil''s Head".


    The film did not hold its premiere, and the number of theaters in the first week was only 500. It has been in the industry for almost ten years. Charlize also knows that as a niche type of film, it is impossible unless the theater''s head is flooded. Too many theaters have been won.


    In fact, she understands that if Ryan''s name were not for the screenwriter and producer, this movie would be like all niche movies, and would only test the waters with dozens of theaters as the beginning.


    Charlize is a smart person, knowing what kind of identity is necessary to have the corresponding abilities, except for work, she spends a lot of time on learning and charging, and gradually she has a deeper and deeper understanding of this industry. Especially in the film market.


    Although the image in the film is really horrible, after the film was released, she took Ryan into the theater together. The theater with a second-story box was enough to ensure that they would not be onlookers.


    "I''m in the movie..."


    Charlize shook his head, adjusted the seats of the two of them closer, covered their mouths and laughed, "You should watch it for yourself, dear, I hope you won''t have nightmares when you hold me."


    "I''ve seen some samples." Ryan squeezed her cheek lightly, and stuffed the peeled pistachio into her mouth. "Actually, I think Christina Ritchie''s Hill is better. ugly."


    Is there such a comfort? Charlize curled his lips and said nothing.


    "Such sacrifice is worth it."


    Charlize now has a completely different mentality from Charlize in his previous life. Ryan held her hand comfortingly, "Think about it, after the trailer came out, those film critics almost lost their eyes."


    Charlize laughed when he heard Ryan''s words.


    The two quickly recovered quiet, and the film on the big screen had already begun.


    This film is based on a real case of the murder of a woman on a highway that was a sensation in the United States in the 1990s.


    From the late 80s to the early 90s, Irene Vonos killed a total of six men-including a policeman-so she was once called the "first serial female killer in the United States" by the media. The trial of the entire case and Approval of the death penalty took nearly a decade, during which Irene Vonos confessed to her crimes, and the Federal Court approved her death sentence a few months ago.


    The film begins with one dream after another of Irene Warnos''s childhood. With the appearance of her tragic childhood, the dreams are ruthlessly shattered.


    The mother abandoned her when she was born. In her childhood memory, she was only insulted and abused. In order to live at a very young age-it was verified that she was 13 years old-she became a woman and sold herself to earn a living, thereby treating men. Full of hatred.


    By chance, she met Hilby who was eager to communicate with others in the bar. From then on, she had new hope in her life.


    Hilby is a lesbian, Irene Warnos is not, but her despair and hatred of men make her prefer to be with women.


    At first, Irene Warnos only wanted to use Hilby to get some money, but as the contact deepened, she couldn''t help but gradually fell in love with this seemingly innocent girl.


    This girl brought a fresh light to her endless dark life, and made her feel that her life had a meaning again.


    After all there is life, there will be new hope.


    Hilby decided to leave the temporary guardian and move out with Irene Warnos. In order to maintain the life of the two people, Irene Warnos had to go out to find a job, but she had no education and expertise, only bad habits, the most important thing. She is impatient, so when she applies for a job, she will eventually quarrel with others.


    "I want to find a formal career, I want to be a veterinarian." This is Irene Vonos''s hope.


    "But, you have no academic certification, no qualifications." Hilby broke her illusion.


    It is hard to imagine that Hilby, who has little social experience that can only confirm his sexual orientation, has more common sense than Irene Warnos, who has been in the society for many years.


    The life pattern of the two can also be seen here. Irene Warnos is only living like a walking dead, perhaps in the middle of loving men, but only as a means of earning a living or a bargaining chip to change her life for a period of time. Before meeting Hilby, perhaps she will continue this trajectory throughout her life, without much ups and downs.


    Hilby is just a rebellious girl who lacks social experience and complains about her family''s incomprehension of herself. She always has an endless pursuit of material things and those beautiful things that live for others to see.


    It was destined from the very beginning that Irene Warnos¡¯s sentiment was much more than that of Hillby.


    So, helpless and desperate, Irene Vonos had no choice but to embark on the road of selling again.


    Among them, it is difficult to say what role Hilby played. She is as innocent as most girls in this society, and perhaps greedy, always wanting more...


    In one transaction, a perverted client raped Irene Warnos and even wanted to kill her. She pulled out a gun and killed him in a fit of anger.


    Then, what appeared in the film was not a cold-blooded female assassin. Irene Vonos cried desperately, knowing that she had already embarked on a path of no return.


    But she didn''t tell Hilby all this, just squandered around with the money and Hilby. She learned from the newspaper report that the police had no idea about the case, and Hilby asked more and more, always thinking There is a lot of money to go around, and tell Irene Warnos that her dream is to buy a magnificent villa by the sea and own a luxurious sports car, so Irene Warnos goes crazy and she starts to shoot those unscrupulously. Trying to insult her clients, and then **** their money and car.


    There is no impermeable wall in the world, let alone two people who get along day and night, Hilby finally discovered what Irene Warnos did.


    Irene excitedly told Hilby that she had no choice. The man completely destroyed her world, and the man completely shattered her self-esteem. She was not even as good as a dog in front of them. She had had enough of all this! To make Hilby stronger for herself, she must be strong and take up arms to resist those ¡®ugly¡¯ men!


    At the same time she told Hilby that the police would not catch them.


    "Look, we are still standing here safely!" This seemingly fierce woman is also innocent. She actually decided to do it a few more times before grabbing enough money. "We will have enough money, and then leave forever. Here."


    However, in the subsequent robbery, the client that Irene Vonos killed turned out to be a plainclothes police officer. After Irene shot him, she felt no guilt and sadness, but only the worry and worries after discovering her identity as a police officer. Afraid.


    This aroused the attention of the police even more. They were wanted by the police soon, and their deeds were revealed in the increasingly capricious activities of Hilby.


    In order to prevent Hilby from being involved, Irene Warnos asked her to go home first with the money. In the conversation between the two before getting into the car, Charlize almost perfectly showed the power of Irene Warnos. The weak and helpless heart beneath the outside.


    The demon she played is still a woman in the final analysis, even though she can be brave and fearless when she brutally shoots the clients, but when the fear comes, she is still weak.


    A pair of trembling hands, no matter how hard it is to strike a match to light the smoke in the mouth; a pair of desperate eyes, full of tears and emotions watching the only love away from them, watching the fire of hope in life that I just kindled suddenly extinguished... ¡­


    There is no sign of Charlize Theron on the woman in the film, no matter the appearance or the inner temperament, she has completely transformed into another person.


    This is her best and most perfect performance, which may also be related to the same tragic experience she has had.


    Subsequently, Irene Vonos was trapped by the police when she was drunk in a bar.


    Facing the police interrogation, she assumed all the responsibilities, even if she realized something during the phone call with Hilby, she continued to admit that everything was only related to her and had nothing to do with Hilby.


    The camera stretches, and behind Hilby are all recording and recording police...


    The catastrophe is about to fly separately This is the **** fact. After the pressure reaches a certain critical level, the selfish side of human nature is completely revealed.


    So after Irene Vonos was arrested, Hilby was anxious to get rid of her coldness, and had the last despair that Hilby had testified in court. Even despair was not enough to express her at that time. Mood.


    This strange relationship finally broke down.


    Finally, when Irene Vonos was sentenced to death, she shouted, "You people, can actually sentence an innocent woman to death!"


    Only a verbal sigh was left, which not only expressed what she had in her heart, but also brought a successful conclusion to Charlize''s performance.


    Whether Hilby was right or wrong, and whether he regretted it later, perhaps Charlize, who had been in contact with her several times, would have his own judgment.


    "As long as love can comfort and warm each other, it is good, and it is worth operating."


    This is what Charlize said to Ryan after getting into the car, "Love is a torment, but you can''t give up because of it." rs()

 Chapter 520： Completely different word of mouth and box office

    Since the birth of Hollywood, I don''t know how many beautiful female stars hate Oscars. Beautiful blonde hair, **** figure and exquisite face have almost become the biggest obstacles that everyone knows about wanting to win.


    But there is never a shortage of smart women in this world. Playing ugly is undoubtedly the best way for female movie stars to break through their inherent image, and there are not a few people who rely on this method to ascend to the Oscar queen throne.


    Of course, compared to the winners, there are countless actresses who pretend to be ugly. Pretending to be ugly is just a means to break the inherent image. If there is no meticulous characterization and grasp of the role, winning is still nonsense.


    "Pretending to be ugly is just a means."


    Ryan sat on the side of the bed, with a plate full of breakfast in his hand, next to a thick stack of newspapers, "This is just to match the character''s image, not to win the sympathy of the judges."


    Charlize, resting on his lap, showed beautiful curves, lazy like a golden cat. She opened her mouth, enjoying the breakfast that Ryan had fed, and said vaguely, "I know. It''s just an actor''s duty to play other people."


    After finishing speaking, he rubbed the oil stains on Ryan''s home clothes, "Honey, I want to hear the comments of those people, can you read it to me?"


    "Happy to help, my princess." Ryan gently squeezed her cheek, put down the plate, and picked up the newspaper next to her.


    An actress who is famous in Hollywood for her vase image has just launched a beautiful fairy princess that cannot be more beautiful, which is popular all over the world, and she suddenly turned around one hundred and eighty degrees. She is still very successful no matter how you look at it. , I can imagine the repercussions caused by the media and critics.


    "In order to be able to portray the complex character and emotional world of the female murderer Irene Vonos more realistically, the famous beauty movie star Charlize Theron sacrificed her beauty. She gained 30 pounds while gaining weight through makeup. Changed her appearance. The sparkling blonde female star disappeared and was replaced by a vulgar street woman with yellow teeth, freckles and a strong body like a professional boxer."


    Ryan took the lead in opening the Los Angeles Times. The headline of the entertainment version is the news about "The Devil". Ignoring those comments on the film, he read directly the part about Charlize. "Miss Theron''s performance is just right, she is excellent every second, what a brave and powerful performance this is."


    "Oh, it sounds really good." Charlize smiled very brightly. His face was buried in Ryan''s belly.


    Although the media praised her endlessly in the past, they basically put their pen and ink on that beautiful appearance.


    ""New York Times"."


    Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Ryan immediately changed a copy, "In addition to fully showing the rude appearance of Irene Vonos to the world in court, Theron also injected another soft side into the role. , Like a beast that has been fighting for years, occasionally has to stop for a moment to lick the wound. She just right shows the pain and injury that Vonos endures. This also makes the whole film show a rich layer. She is excellent His performance has injected enough vitality into this mediocre movie."


    "Keep going!"


    Turning over, Charlize climbed onto Ryan''s lap. Acting like a little girl begging for sweets, "Honey, please continue?"


    "Of course it''s okay." Ryan nodded, and then picked up the "New York Post". The comments above were a bit sensational. "If those famously fussy and dull Oscar judges can come out and take a good look at "The Devil" , They know whom to vote for the best actress of the year."


    "And...wow, this one is even more exaggerated."


    Before Charlize could react, Ryan picked up another newspaper, "Miss Theron''s performance in "The Devil" is the best performance in the history of world film and television. If this role does not get the best Oscar Actress award, then this award should be cancelled."


    "The gunman you''re looking for?" Charlize raised his face and looked over.


    "Definitely not." Ryan opened his hand and said, "This is Roger Albert''s film review. He also gave two thumbs up, not for the film, but for you."


    "This is really..."


    Charlize simply sat up, "Am I really so good?"


    "It''s better than you think." Ryan kissed her eyes lightly, "My dear, this is not a compliment."


    Film critics can also be used for public relations, but at this stage Roger Albert wants money, money, and a famous name. If he wants to influence him, he must spend a lot of resources. Instead of spending these resources on one person, Might as well conduct a wider range of public relations.


    Therefore, Ryan did not let people come into contact with this famous film critic.


    However, this relatively unbiased film critic obviously appreciates Charlize''s performance. His film reviews have a lot of influence on many judges who only vote with their feet.


    This can be regarded as a windfall.


    "Honey, trust me."


    From the moment the movie was released, the powerful PR machine was activated, and Ryan also believed in the power of this role, "You will sweep the entire award season and conquer the jury of all awards."


    "But before that, I want to conquer you first."


    Those watery eyes showed how excited Charlize was. She pulled Ryan over, pressed him underneath, untied the straps of her home clothes, and buried her entire head at the bottom.


    Although the quality of the movie can only be considered to be above-average, especially the portrayal of Irene Warnos and the homosexual plot, which has attracted a lot of criticism, Charlize¡¯s performance in it has won unanimous praise from the critics. There is no such exaggeration as Roger Albert, but he also thinks that Irene Warnos is definitely the best female character on the screen in recent years.


    After the film was released, the entire crew including South African Diamonds changed their previous low-key status and launched a huge publicity campaign with the assistance of the relevant team.


    Ryan also mobilized all the resources that could be mobilized to build momentum for Charlize.


    "Los Angeles Times" interviews, TV talk shows, parties convened by Ryan, you can see Charlize''s active figure on these.


    After staying with Ryan for so long, she is no longer the former Charlize Theron. The proficient communication and the gradually developed skills have also become a member of the Hollywood superstructure that cannot be ignored.


    "Most of such films depend on the performance of the actor who plays the central role, so I think I must thoroughly show her cruelty and sensitivity."


    Later, Charlize appeared on the cover of "Vanity Fair" and said in the interview very cleverly, "Eileen Vonos is definitely not innocent, and the film is not a defense for her. We just want to explore what it is. The reason has led to her becoming a murderous demon. How can we avoid similar tragedies from happening in the future."


    These words, which were clearly in line with the mainstream social views, were praised by all major media afterwards, which added a lot of impression points to her.


    Compared to the praise that Charlize has received, the box office of "The Devil" can only be said to be unsatisfactory.


    The film landed in North America with 500 theaters. The first week''s results were mediocre, with more than 3.9 million US dollars in the box office. In the second week, the number of theaters increased to more than 650, and the box office also increased. The more than 4.5 million results did not make the theater. The line side greatly reduces the scale of the screening.


    However, where the audience of the movie is, even if the hype and word-of-mouth are overwhelming, "The Devil" cannot change the nature of the niche movie. The box office in the third week is still only more than 4 million US dollars.


    The production cost of "The Devil" is not high, only 10 million U.S. dollars, and correspondingly, the publicity and public relations expenses are as high as 15 million U.S. dollars.


    Election bribery is almost impossible for the current Oscars, and Ryan will not do that. With Charlize''s realistic conditions, it will be difficult for her to reach the top again.


    Ryan''s goal is not only Oscar, he wants Charlize to sweep the best actress of the awards season!


    The Internet has become an indispensable part of life and entertainment in North America. In addition to traditional media, the public relations team''s momentum will also not let go of this position.


    "It was great! Miss Theron!"


    "A breathtaking performance! This is the best candidate for the best actress!"


    "The makeup is great and the acting is very shocking!"


    News like this is countless on the Internet, and the navy is everywhere. The most important thing is that the cost is much lower than that of traditional media.


    Of course, there are many spontaneous comments made by netizens.


    "The role of Irene Vonos seems to be Charlize''s true character. I am really worried about Ryan. I think everyone should know that he is a playboy. If Charlize, who had the same tragic experience as a girl, could not bear it someday. , Will you take out a revolver?"


    Since Ryan¡¯s hacking , there have been more and more lace news about him, and the objects are no longer limited to Nicole and others. Those female stars who have friendship have become the protagonists, even just now. Sixteen-year-old Scarlett Johansson was dragged into the long list of horrors by the media.


    In this way, the firepower of the tabloids has been relatively scattered, at least there has been no concentrated attack on Nicole.


    Compared with the aggressive publicity of "The Devil", Nicole''s latest film "Moulin Rouge" is temporarily low-key. The film''s official release date is after the New Year and before Christmas. It only held two theaters in Los Angeles. To qualify for the Oscars.


    However, whether it is "The Devil" and "Moulin Rouge" or other movies, it is destined not to be the protagonist of the Christmas period. When "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" is overwhelmingly promoted, it will be the last of this year. At the time of the schedule, he became the well-deserved only protagonist.


    The premiere of the film was selected in London. This time, not only the United Kingdom and the United States have achieved simultaneous releases, but also English-speaking areas such as Australia and New Zealand have also joined in.


    Ryan temporarily handed over the work to others, and flew to London with Nicole and Taylor. ()

 Chapter 521： Harry Potter

    ps:


    Four more today!


    As a live reporter on TV 1, Robert Mitterrand has always had a keen sense of smell. After learning the news about Harry Potter, he tried his best to persuade his boss to win an OB van. He had a hunch. Ryan Jenkins is likely to make big moves today.


    Although the other party does not have British nationality, the vast majority of the British public regard him as their own. Since the death of Princess Diana, he is definitely the most eye-catching public figure in the UK. Newspapers related to him are published and sold. It will always be a lot higher than usual.


    The only pity is that the other party is too busy, so busy that he rarely visits his second hometown, London.


    Just five minutes ago, the handsome bodyguard suddenly came out and announced that, in view of the concerns of the press, a small press conference would be held in the front court of the villa, the content of which was related to Harry Potter.


    As the TV station stood behind, and the TV station was affiliated with Ryan Jenkins¡¯s partner News Corp. Robert Mitterrand was invited at the first time, unlike other reporters in the industry, for a few representatives. The quota was almost broken.


    "Mr. Mitterrand, the phone is connected." His assistant handed over the mobile phone.


    After answering the mobile phone, Robert Mitterrand greeted him in the most concise way, and said almost in a roaring way, "Coles, I hope that the station can immediately interrupt the news transmitted from my side. What? No? Maybe? The program schedule is very tight? I don''t care about it, I want my interview to be broadcast live immediately! Do you know who I interviewed?"


    "Robert, I think you should understand that even if you are standing at Buckingham Palace and the subject of the interview is Her Majesty the Queen or the Crown Prince, it is impossible for me to change the program at will." The voice coming from the phone contains the British inherent. Rigid.


    "Asshole, Coles, Ryan Jenkins is about to hold a press conference! We want to grab the time to be the first to report!"


    "What?" The voice on the other side obviously didn''t have the stubbornness just now.


    "Those rumors about Harry Potter should be true. Ryan Jenkins is about to hold a press conference and is likely to announce the adaptation of the film! Do you understand? That is Ryan Jenkins and his "Harry "Porter"! That is a novel that has sold more than 300 million copies worldwide!"


    "Wait a minute, I... I''ll contact you right away? How many minutes are there to start?"


    "ten minutes!"


    "I promise! Ten minutes backstage will definitely appear on your side!" The stereotype in the voice disappeared without a trace.


    Hanging up, Robert Mitterrand told his team to check the equipment immediately. We must show the rigorous attitude we used to broadcast the princess''s funeral last year to deal with this small press conference.


    After Mitterrand checked the work of his subordinates, regardless of the print media reporters who were still competing for the spot, he stared at the door of the villa, anxiously waiting for the moment it opened.


    As a reporter who is biased towards entertainment, he knows a lot about the owner of this villa. He understands that with his and his work in the eyes of the British people, he can easily grab a lot of attention, not to mention this is about Kazakhstan. News of the adaptation of the Lee Potter series of novels into movies.


    This is the most successful all-age novel in the world. It is still the most representative work after the British Empire entered the 1990s, and the British have waited too long for it to become a movie.


    Now that we have the exact news, the only regret is, why is Ryan Jenkins not an Englishman?


    "Don''t you think your decision is a bit sudden?" Taylor sat on the sofa in the living room of the villa. Looking at Ryan curiously, she knew very well that before coming to England, her good brother had no plans for Harry Potter at all.


    "My dear, this is an opportunity." Ryan had changed into a formal suit and said through the window looking at the busy staff in the garden. "Since the British media are willing to advertise for us for free, why should we reject their kindness?"


    "No wonder Nat always said that you are more like a businessman." The little guy wrinkled his nose.


    "Okay, dear." Ryan walked over and rubbed her blonde hair. "Stay quietly here. I''ll be back soon."


    Sitting at the small table in the villa. Ryan raised his hand to signal to be quiet, and waited for more than a dozen reporters to sit around other tables and let the staff serve coffee. All reporters from the influential media could come in, except for a few photographers. There are also large-scale camera equipment painted with marks, also erected.


    A reporter named Robert Mitterrand sent a few words through George, and Ryan nodded slightly to him, quietly waiting for the TV station staff to complete preparations for the live broadcast.


    Ryan is not in a hurry, but the reporters at the scene understand that it is useless if they are anxious. They have already come in anyway, and it is just the difference between early and late. Why should you be a villain? If you get kicked out, you will lose more than you gain.


    What''s more, what they are tasting is the authentic blue mountain coffee and Lapsang Souchong black tea.


    "I invited you here today to have some face-to-face communication. We don''t need to divide interviews and interviewees. Everyone is like old friends. It''s good for afternoon tea chat."


    Ryan spoke slowly. The reporter who can enter here will naturally not be a paparazzi. His words instantly narrowed the distance between the two sides, "Everyone knows that I used to be here..."


    He pointed to the villa at the back and said nonsense that he didn¡¯t even believe him, ¡°I have lived here for more than two years and have different feelings for this city. I don¡¯t have this special experience or the original British culture. It¡¯s impossible to have the entire Harry Potter series..."


    These words made the British in the field feel bright. In the past, when they created miracles for novels like Harry Potter with a strong British style, they were unavoidable because the author is not an authentic. The British are entangled.


    "Ryan, can you give me some definite news, are you planning to put the Harry Potter series on the big screen?" Maybe the relaxed atmosphere in the court has infected everyone, or maybe Ryan''s very affinity On the one hand, these reporters are obviously less sharp.


    "Actually, I''ve been planning this work since the day the novel ended." Ryan raised a teacup to the reporter, who smiled embarrassedly and continued to ask, "It is convenient to reveal the specific timetable. ?"


    "Let''s put it this way." Ryan put the teacup on the table, "After "Titanic" and "Jurassic Park 2", everyone should be able to see that the film post-production technology has changed dramatically. I think the conditions are ripe for making Harry Potter movies."


    Hearing what he said, these reporters couldn''t help being shocked.


    "If all goes well, the crew will be formally established early next year, and then an audition will be held for the roles including Harry and Hermione, plus shooting and post-production. I expect the first episode of the movie "Harry Potter" "And the Philosopher''s Stone" will be filmed as early as the end of 2000 or early 2001."


    After making the decision, Ryan considered a lot of issues in a short period of time, and also revealed some ideas in a planned way.


    "Will the filming location be chosen in the UK? Will all British actors be used as stated in the newspaper?" Robert Mitterrand asked everyone the most concerned question.


    "In my plan, the UK is definitely the first choice. Otherwise, with so many landmarks, just making the scenery would be a huge expense."


    Ryan''s smile, like sunlight, infected everyone, causing continuous laughter in the audience.


    He continued, "In terms of actors, my plan is to use British or Irish actors as much as possible, as the newspaper says. Can you imagine Dumbledore and Voldemort with a Mississippi accent or a Texas accent? "


    Before the reporters were happy, Ryan''s words suddenly turned, "But these are just first choices..."


    "Why?" Someone was surprised.


    "In the shooting, a large number of underage actors will be used. I think you may not know much about the "Children¡¯s Labor Law" in the United Kingdom. There are extremely strict regulations on the shooting time of child actors. If you follow the requirements of this law Even after five years, it will be difficult for everyone to see the Harry Potter series of movies."


    Ryan''s plan is very simple. Let these media blow the air first, and then let his public relations team lobby the House of Commons. This should be easier.


    "What if the House of Commons is willing to amend the relevant regulations?" These reporters said very loudly.


    "Then everyone will see the crew and related auditions of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" in London early next year." Ryan said vowedly.


    Those reporters quickly figured out how to write related reports on . Few people who can sit here are fools. Ryan did not hide his intentions much, but they planned to follow him. Do it vaguely.


    As for why? This is the Harry Potter series that made a sensation in the entire Western world.


    At that time, the crew will definitely become the center of the entire entertainment industry. As long as they enter the UK, how many hype opportunities will they bring to them? How many headlines did it bring? How much related benefit does it bring?


    For a long time, they don''t have to worry about headlines anymore.


    Accompanied by the live broadcast signal from the TV station, this small news conference spread to the UK and even the entire Western world. With the subsequent hype of various media, the Harry Potter series whirlwind was blown again.


    The most excited are naturally the British, and the most excited of the British are the children around ten years old. Since they will choose to play the roles of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger in the UK then, how about that? Doesn''t it mean that they also have a chance?


    These are all future things. When Ryan returned to the living room of the villa, the first thing he saw was a pair of innocent sapphire blue eyes. ()

 Chapter 522： Cultural output

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "This movie can be said to be full of magic and witchcraft, suspense and exploration, history and legends and other aesthetic appeals. When it was still text, readers would involuntarily be immersed in this artistic conception interwoven between fantasy and reality, and now it has become a vivid music and picture plot, or the one that uses the most advanced movie special effects, which is enough to attract people to enter. cinema."


    "When human beings evaluate something, they often like to start from their own interests and interests. Before the movie is released, people with jealousy criticize the movie version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" as being too naive, making it a little older. The audience fell asleep in the theater."


    "This view is not without reason, the film is indeed childish."


    "But regardless of whether Ryan''s screenwriter or Chris Columbus''s directing, they also take care of adult audiences. Throughout the complete set of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone", most adults will definitely enjoy watching it with relish."


    "The movie always revolves around the life and learning experience of the protagonist of Harry Potter. From another perspective, it may not be the plot, characters, imagination, audiovisual pleasure, and group identity when sharing common topics that attract the audience the most. , But it¡¯s the growth inspirational film mode hidden under the fantasy coat."


    "The experience of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry can be said to be an''an education model in another world'' that Ryan imagined. Perhaps even he himself did not realize that the inspirational learning process like Harry is a reality. What practical significance does the world have."


    "Looking at the whole world, this kind of inspirational mapping projected from popular cultural products is so urgent. There is no lack of campus environment in our children''s literature and film and television, but those naive or naive campuses can no longer keep up with the campus situation. Dramatic changes."


    "This is the impact of the changing times."


    "Anything else, at least through "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone", the future generations of our country can understand that not only are evil like Voldemort present all the time, but they may also be a part that is closely related to them. The growth is a process of comprehensive understanding of''good and evil''."


    "The United States needs this kind of movie. The whole world also needs this kind of movie. Ryan and Chris Columbus have joined forces to give us an epoch-making movie!"


    This is a comment from the Federation of Teachers and Parents published by the "New York Times" for the first time after "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" landed in North America. With the sound of affirmation, it even gave some inexplicable meaning to Ryan and Columbus.


    "Movies can always be interpreted with various meanings."


    Sitting in the living room of the villa in Kensington, Nicole put down the newspaper in her hand. Asked Ryan on the opposite side, "Did you ever think about it this way when you wrote the novel?"


    "Honey, you should know why I wrote this novel." Ryan opened his hands.


    "Ryan was a pauper back then."


    Taylor sitting on the two-seater, holding Emma Watson''s arm as a commentary, "Well...Nicole is not much better. Two poor people are said to have owed a lot of debt."


    Hearing the little girl''s words, Ryan and Nicole smiled and looked at each other at the same time, seeming to recall the years when they first met, but their sweet eyes only lasted for a few seconds. In those light blue eyes, The sharpness of acupuncture appeared again.


    "so boring."


    Emma Watson rested her chin. Pressed on Taylor''s shoulder, "When I went out today, dozens of reporters gathered around, and my brother was terrified. God, how can I go out to play in the future."


    "Also, from tomorrow on, I have to promote with the crew. It''s terrible." Her little face was wrinkled.


    "Poor Emma." Taylor touched her lightly with his forehead. "Fortunately, I am still free now. I have decided. I will enjoy freedom on behalf of everyone. I want to go to Burger King. I want to eat beef burgers."


    "Don''t you hate fast food?" Ryan asked strangely.


    "It''s different now. Burger King has become the world of Harry Potter." The little girl dragged Emma to her feet, wrinkling her tall nose and said. "I don''t eat burgers, but Harry Potter culture, understand, Ryan?"


    "My dear. I promise." Ryan pointed to the outside of the villa, "As long as you go out, there will definitely be dozens of paparazzi following you."


    "Okay, I see." Taylor knew that this was the truth, and sat down again dejectedly.


    Walking to the opposite side, filling the juice for the two little guys, Ryan simply sat next to Nicole, and Emma Watson over there was talking about some things he had seen when he came over.


    "Alison doesn''t even know what''s going on in Burger King. She listened to me." The two little girls joked and said, "I went to Burger King to buy breakfast when I came. A kind of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" large and small peripheral products, inside and outside the store are all posters, cups, plates, character models painted with images... I was shocked at the time and thought I was on the set."


    "I didn''t expect the movie to match this kind of event." Emma Watson is also a smart girl, showing a thoughtful look. "But one thing is absolutely certain. Everyone in the line bought Burger King''s. Harry Potter package."


    "These are nothing."


    Taylor put on the appearance of a teacher teaching students. In this regard, she can indeed be a teacher for other children. "You know, Emma, ??there was a call from Los Angeles this morning. Ryan just had a relationship with Johnson and Cadbury, and also¡­"


    The little girl suddenly couldn''t remember the specific name, so she waved her hand and said, "In short, there are a lot of messy companies that have reached some authorizations with a total amount of up to 50 million US dollars."


    "Alison?" Ryan couldn''t help looking at her.


    "Sorry." The little girl stuck out her tongue mischievously, showing an embarrassed expression, "I didn''t mean it, I happened to pass by the study, and I heard you calling... Well, Nicole can prove it."


    Shaking his head helplessly, Ryan made a shut-up gesture to her, and she and Emma Watson covered their mouths at the same time.


    In fact, these authorizations with time rights are nothing more than the rights to use images, etc. Now that he has Disney, whether it is TV copyright, DVD video tape distribution, or doll manufacturing and sales, it can be digested internally, and it can also maximize profits.»¯.


    Unlike Time Warner who bought out most of the copyrights in the previous life, Ryan now holds almost all the copyrights. Although the partners must have the right to share, he is the biggest beneficiary.


    "Dear."


    After the two little girls asked why Harry Potter made money so much, Nicole, who was studying the original "The Moment", pushed forward without hesitation, "You should ask Ryan for this kind of question. "


    The eyes of the two little girls looked at them wide, full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge.


    Taylor is better. After all, she has been fascinated by her since she was a child. Although she is always interested in gossip, she also knows a little about it. As for Miss Emma Watson, she is completely a layman.


    "Ryan, didn''t you say that if I fail to sing in the future, I will leave the film company to run it?"


    Faced with the curiosity of my dear sister, Ryan had no choice but to say simply, ¡°As the cultural industry is becoming more and more ideological and capitalist, once any cultural product evolves into a cultural event and cultural phenomenon, it must It will become a commodity with high economic value."


    Tyler nodded without understanding, Emma Watson shook her head directly.


    Ryan is mainly talking to Taylor. It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t understand the other one. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher¡¯s Stone" may become a transnational cultural event and cultural phenomenon. The cultural vortex it can form will resemble a tornado. It also attracts the public¡¯s attention, and the consumer groups it mainly faces..."


    Rubbing the head of the little guy lying on the sofa, Ryan continued, "It''s a minor like you, dear, if you are attracted by Hermione¡¯s wand and want a copy, then I and Ni I will definitely pay..."


    "It''s a pity that there is no dragon heartstring in it." Taylor said casually, and then said seriously, "I think I understand, you are mainly making children''s money."


    This childish language, which pointed to the essence, immediately caused Ryan and Nicole to laugh at the same time.


    "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" was released in the United Kingdom and the United States and even in the English-speaking regions at the same time, causing an absolute sensation, especially when it was selected to be released before Christmas, and it became the first choice for countless families to watch movies on festivals.


    As for the critics, if there are people who are really serious about such a family movie, it is only themselves who will be ridiculed.


    As the "New York Times" said, movies may be a little boring for some adults, but they will never look down on them, and a child audience often means two or more movie tickets.


    Especially, UU Reading "Harry Potter" novel came out nearly ten years earlier than the previous life, which has cultivated many fans, many people over twenty years old, also grew up reading this series People have special feelings for this, and they have also become a group of people actively buying tickets.


    And those staunch supporters of Ryan...


    Because Ryan once said that Hermione¡¯s status in his heart is as important as Harry Potter. After the film was released, Emma Watson, like Daniel Radcliffe, became the focus of media attention and coverage. focus.


    But now the girl with a little bit of rabbit teeth is so cute, Emma has inevitably attracted a group of uncle audiences, which can be regarded as an alternative contribution to the movie.


    When December 24 came, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" unsurprisingly sat on the throne of the North American box office chart, and the third North American movie with a weekly box office of 100 million was born. It is US$113.05 million.


    At the same time, the film was shown in 525 theaters in the UK, and it earned a box office of 19.33 million pounds in the first week.

 Chapter 523： Little wizards and awards

    In the second week of the movie, the Christmas holiday in the West officially kicked off. Although some audiences were inevitably lost, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" is still hot and dominates the theaters in the United Kingdom and the United States. Absolute advantage, and it is the tradition of the entertainment market that the whole family enters the theater to watch the family carnival movie on Christmas, and parents with their children line up to buy tickets everywhere in the theater. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    Different from Warner''s small propaganda before the movie was released in the past life, Ryan set out sky-high advertising and marketing expenses, a lot of which was spent in the second week of a sharp decline in the box office of commercial films, intensifying the offensive in publicity.


    "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" is the first in the entire series. The more successful the film, the greater the follow-up influence, and the greater the promotional expenses saved in the future.


    Just the day before Christmas, Madame Tussauds launched the Harry Potter series of wax figures, which was overcrowded for a while.


    They obtained the relevant authorization as early as a year ago, and of course paid a lot of money.


    Authorized manufacturers from all walks of life have also launched their own Harry Potter series of products, such as magic brooms, wands, Quidditch jerseys, invisibility suits, Hogwarts uniforms and badges that have swept the entire West world.


    Whether it is big cities like London and New York, or North American towns like Venice and Barcelona, ??almost all stores can see a large number of related products.


    The popularity of movies drove the sales of these products, and the well-made peripheral products also attracted people who were not interested in movies to enter the theater.


    The show-offs and comparisons among children are sometimes more serious than adults. When most of their peers are talking about Harry Potter, those who have not watched movies and have no related toys in their hands will naturally feel lonely and lost. At this time Walking into theaters and shops has naturally become their first choice.


    Subsequently, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" was released in the second week. With more than 75 million U.S. dollars, it won the North American box office champion, and the British box office of more than 13.5 million pounds is also arrogant.


    In addition to these two places, the film has basically been released simultaneously in Australia and New Zealand.


    In sparsely populated Australia, the first week''s achievement was more than 7.2 million US dollars. Overwhelmed "Lord of the Rings 1." Became the holder of the new local box office record for the first week.


    Although "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" is not as popular as "The Lord of the Rings" in New Zealand, it is worth a million dollars at the box office. Also achieved the second best result in history.


    Starting from the third week, films have successively landed in major overseas film markets such as the Far East, Latin America and Continental Europe. Although some places have received cold reception due to cultural differences, the overall situation is still optimistic. Even the cumulative rate of the box office vaguely surpassed "Lord of the Rings 1."


    Of course, most people are also aware that the rating of "Lord of the Rings" pg-13 and the targeted audience group have natural disadvantages in front of family movies like "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone".


    Similarly, after Christmas and New Year, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" cannot escape the inevitable laws of commercial movies. The North American box office plummeted to 38 million U.S. dollars. Relatively speaking, the box office in the United Kingdom was stronger, with more than 9.5 million pounds in the third week. Still eye-catching.


    The North American box office exceeded US$200 million in three weeks, which almost indicates that the movie is bound to sell well. According to the prediction of professional organizations, the North American box office of this movie should surpass "The Lord of the Rings 1" and won the 2001 North American box office ranking without any suspense The throne of the champion.


    However, the already downgrade "Lord of the Rings 1" received more than 355 million U.S. dollars in North America. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" wants to surpass it and needs enough time to show.


    However, this movie completely killed "The Lord of the Rings" in terms of profitability, and the movie became profitable within a week of its release.


    Everyone knows the power of Ryan''s series, and his past achievements are in front of everyone. The possibility of failure is infinitely small. A large number of businesses have signed various licensing agreements before the movie is released, sharing the horror. Production costs and promotional and marketing expenses.


    Leaving aside the peripheral products, after the movie was released, books with characters and illustrated pages were re-matched, and more than 27 million copies were sold within three weeks. In addition, the sales of old editions of books have made statistics. The sales figures of the "Harry Potter" series of genuine books surpassed 300 million copies in one fell swoop.


    This series of novels has been born for more than ten years, during which it was translated into more than 60 languages ??and scripts, and appeared all over the world, even in war-torn Afghanistan, you can find its traces.


    The sales volume of 300 million copies has also become the third most-selling book in the world in history, second only to the Bible and a certain quotation on the other side.


    According to statistics from some professional institutions on Wall Street, this series of books alone has brought Ryan more than $800 million in royalties so far.


    Then, the media discovered with hindsight that the first person in history to become a billionaire only relying on books had long been born.


    At the same time, the merged Disney Asia branch is also actively negotiating with the Far East. The two sides have reached a preliminary opinion on the introduction of the film, and the existing differences are nothing more than schedule issues.


    "The Lord of the Rings" was pushed on the other side of the film market by the China Film Group before the new year. Even without a novel foundation, it swept the box office for several weeks without any suspense. It is a pity that Hollywood movies at this time have only a poor three to four weeks schedule. , And as an introduction film, it is almost impossible to get the so-called deferred''key'' of a certain bureau.


    After the two parties reached an agreement on a series of issues such as the Harry Potter schedule, news came that Ryan was confused-Sanlian Publishing decided to terminate the publishing contract with Ryan and temporarily cancel the remaining Harry Potter. Special series of books are on sale on the opposite side of the market.


    This almost disrupted his intensive publicity plan.


    Fortunately, after he called, the staff on the other side sent a message of relief.


    The People¡¯s Literature Agency on the opposite side took a fancy to this series. Through some pressure, Sanlian took the initiative to give up and listed it as a key publishing project. They contacted Ryan¡¯s agent over there, and even the copyright battle has not yet fallen. At the moment of the curtain, we organized a re-translation and final proofreading for the capable forces, and completely abandoned the three-linked translation.


    On the one hand, they are seeking prime time for the simultaneous listing of books and movies. On the other hand, they want to send people to North America directly with proofreading drafts to ensure that the text style and ideas are consistent with the original text.


    These are naturally handled by related staff, and Ryan is going to Buckingham Palace.


    As early as when the shooting of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" began, the British royal family and the House of Lords were discussing the award of Ryan, because he was not enthusiastic and the subsequent Manchester United acquisition controversy, this matter has been Dragged it down.


    But after the release of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone", the influence of this series has completely exceeded the limits of literature and entertainment, and has become a social phenomenon, especially from film shooting and distribution to production and sales of peripheral products. All of the British manufacturers have participated, and these have significantly boosted the employment rate and boosted the British economy like stagnant water.


    The royal family also needs to take a share of this incident to demonstrate their transcendent status, and awarding honors to Ryan has naturally become the most appropriate choice.


    Although he didn''t pay much attention to it, Ryan would not reject it like those artists did. Moreover, it was not only himself who accepted the award, but also Nicole, who is equally dazzling in the film industry.


    Of course, neither he nor Nicole are British, and they received the so-called "jazz" award, which is called the Knight of Honor.


    The only difference is that the royal family held an award ceremony for the two of them in the press conference hall of Buckingham Palace, and the queen and his wife also personally attended the event.


    "May God bless you, Your Majesty."


    Standing in front of many cameras, Ryan showed good upbringing and manners, and gave a standard gentleman''s courtesy to Elizabeth II.


    "May God bless you, Your Majesty." Nicole on the other side made a standard curtsey.


    Her Majesty is naturally the same expression that has remained unchanged for decades. After the royal spokesperson gave a short, routine speech to the few news media on the scene, Queen Elizabeth II awarded Ryan and Nicole the honorary knights. medal.


    "You have made outstanding contributions to the spread of British culture throughout the world."


    After Elizabeth II¡¯s polite words, Ryan immediately said in a humble voice, "This is my honour, Your Majesty."


    Both Ryan and Nicole maintained the necessary respect for the royal family.


    Regardless of how outsiders comment on the royal family, this family has an influence that cannot be ignored in Britain and even in the entire Western world.


    Afterwards, the two of them shook hands with Prince Philip and Prince Charles one by one, and this brief award ceremony also ended.


    Although this is actually more like a show, it is also the highest-level show. The subsequent royal lunch invitation cannot be rejected by the two of Ryan, and this kind of almost rigid banquet is obviously not suitable for Ryan, and there is almost no exchange. Under the circumstances, after running out of traditional British meals, he and Nicole got in the car on the return journey surrounded by reporters.


    "It''s okay."


    In the car driving to Kensington Ryan took off his tuxedo jacket and said to Nicole, "Not as serious and rigid as I thought."


    "In fact, your Majesty has made a lot of changes over the years." Nicole kicked off the high heels directly.


    "I heard that the queen let go about Camilla?" Ryan asked Nicole. She has been in contact with Prince William and other royal family members over the years.


    "It should be a few years." Nicole suddenly remembered the friend lying on the island in the lake, "Wait for the public to gradually forget the past between Diana and Charles."


    Gently shook Nicole''s hand, Ryan didn''t say anything.


    In addition to Harry Potter-related news in the media recently, an interesting thing is still circulating in the media. It is said that it originated from the palace of the crown prince. Someone heard a bald man talking about how to be a crown prince¡ªit¡¯s nothing difficult, it¡¯s not just waiting for his own mother. Die?


    Of course, this is more of a kind of ridicule. In some respects, what the British royal family now represents is not much different from Harry Potter. They all convey mainstream values ??such as happiness, happiness, stability and courage to the society. . ()

 Chapter 524： effect

    "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" caused a collective commercial effect, involving publishing, movies, games, tourism, food, clothing, toys, handicrafts and accessories and many other fields.


    In the publishing industry, in addition to the huge number of sales volumes, the success of the film has attracted more publishers'' attention. Some even found Ryan and wanted him to pick up the pen that he had thrown away. Ryan Then he gave them the "Hunger Games" collaboration with Susan Collins.


    As for who can get the publishing rights, it depends on sincerity.


    In addition, the "Aliens" publishing house also reached a new agreement with Ryan to publish a series of lifelike and peculiar animals and plants and Quidditch games made with special effects in the movie, as well as other things in the magical world. The corresponding books can benefit from the market once again.


    At the same time, due to the big sales of movies and the hot sales of books, comic dealers are also eyeing this market. Dark Horse Comics has acquired the North American comics adaptation of the Harry Potter series for the next ten years at a price of 200 million US dollars. right.


    However, what surprised Ryan the most was that a Japanese manga agency directly approached North America and wanted to obtain the right to adapt manga in Japan, but he refused without hesitation.


    This has nothing to do with the deep-rooted concept of disgust in the previous life, because the other party wants the right to adapt the h version of the comic.


    Think about it, if what happens to the Gryffindor Golden Triangle in the comics, it''s simply...


    Ryan would never do this kind of self-smashing signs.


    In terms of games, ea is also the famous American Electronic Arts Company. As early as when the movie was approved, it obtained the exclusive game license for "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" at a price of 20 million U.S. dollars. One week after the movie was released, Launched computer and handheld games, which have been favored by many young game lovers. Judging from the data released by them, the sales situation is quite impressive.


    In the tourism industry, Disney has already obtained relevant authorization from Ryan.


    They will build a magical world based on the "Harry Potter" series in all Disney parks. Because the follow-up movie has not yet been released, the building will be mainly based on the finalized Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the time being. For consumer groups from seven to sixty-seven years old, shops, specialty restaurants, interactive attractions and other facilities will be set up.


    Disney set a three-year period for the entire plan, except for the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Forbidden Forest and the town of Hog Modri ??will be added one after another.


    After completion, visitors can not only experience the Quidditch game and other movie plot-related tours here, but also buy their favorite wands and robe, and even visit Dumbledore¡¯s office.


    Of course, the most attractive is definitely the strengths of Disneyland, the movie character parade and the amusement project. There are three categories currently being planned, namely the''dragon challenge'', the flight of the eagle''s horse and the winged beast'' and''Harry Porter''s Forbidden Journey''.


    From management to ordinary staff, Disney has a huge public base for this project. He has unparalleled confidence, and as soon as the plan was announced, it attracted countless applauded voices.


    In terms of food, except that companies such as Burger King and Coca-Cola have obtained relevant authorizations. In the densely populated communities of big cities such as New York, London and Los Angeles, "Harry Potter Themed Cafe" and "Harry Potter Themed Restaurant" have opened their doors one after another.


    Successfully passed through the nine and three-quarters of the platform, turned into Diagon Alley, and entered the storefront filled with the original Harry Potter movie pictures and the surrounding surroundings. In this unique environment, with a relaxed mood and narrow smile, do a few harmless pranks. Regarding Harry Potter''s carefully prepared food as the magic brought by the spell, the strange fantasy buried deep in his heart is turned into a carefree reality at this moment.


    This kind of store is unanimously sought after by teenagers, and the food that looks infinitely close to the movie has become the first choice for many minors to dine.


    Once the cultural industry has formed a social phenomenon, it will not only have no national boundaries, but will also exceed the boundaries of the industry.


    "The Harry Potter series of costumes, with individual style and wise adventurous spirit as the soul, story plot and magic pets as materials, and the unique background created by Ryan, advocate the perfect combination of fashion life and culture and art."


    This is a mark made in front of the Disney store for the newly listed Harry Potter children¡¯s clothing. The sales volume of these clothing in the first three weeks is simply an astronomical number. Even if there is a subsequent decline, the sales have been stable. There are so many''little wizards'' in the alley, which is enough to illustrate this point.


    In terms of toys that occupy a considerable share of the surrounding area, in addition to Disney''s puppet company, the world¡¯s three largest toy manufacturers Mattel, Lego and Hasbro each received tens of millions of dollars in Harry Potter specific toys and toys. Franchise rights for related stationery.


    For example, Mattel can transform characters such as Hermione into Barbie...


    In an interview with reporters, Alan Linde, Marketing Director of Hasbro, once mentioned, "Brand assets like Harry Potter will endure for a long time, because it attracts not only children, but also adults. What En has created is a toy brand that can be compared with Barbie dolls. Such products have a particularly long life cycle. Judging from the current market response, whether it is a Harry Potter fan or a supporter of Ryan, treasure everything Products related to Harry Potter have become a matter of course."


    In fact, after the movie was released, more than 1,500 toys and stationery appeared on the market, such as magic wands, Harry Potter kaleidoscopes, pencil boxes, flying broomsticks, etc., which corresponded to the considerable sales.


    Of course, those delicate accessories are also favored by teenagers.


    The owl pendants on the market, the badges of the various colleges of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter pillows and water glasses, etc., have all created extremely high market benefits.


    There are also TV copyrights digested by Disney and the distribution copyrights of DVDs and video tapes. In these two aspects, Ryan directly enjoys a 30% profit share.


    Ryan has built a huge industrial chain through Walt Disney under his control and Time Warner, which has participated in film investment. It is no exaggeration to say that even if he is now penniless, he can also share income through the Harry Potter series. Can quickly enter the Forbes rich list.


    The North American box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" is heading toward 300 million U.S. dollars, and the British box office has further advanced to the 30 million pound mark, and the benefits of peripheral products are several times that of the movie box office itself. .


    Three weeks after the movie was released, relevant organizations that have been staring at this industry chain published rough statistics-in the United Kingdom and the United States alone, the total revenue created by "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" has been close to 20 One hundred million U.S. dollars!


    As one of the most influential newspapers in finance and economics, The Wall Street Journal launched a detailed analysis of this.


    "The success of Harry Potter is inseparable from the successful shaping of the brand. As we all know, as Ryan''s reputation spreads all over the world, the "Harry Potter" series of books with sufficient quality assurance have formed a best-selling book brand. With the brand supported by Ryan, it has been recognized by the mainstream society, has countless supporters, and has even been strongly recommended by the National Federation of Teachers and Parents."


    "In this way, it seems to be able to expand its derivative brands. Among them, Ryan''s rights to the image of the book are undoubtedly the most valuable link. On the basis of full of imagination, he has ensured that the series'' personality is outstanding and the magic theme is very good. Mingxing, using his mind that has been praised by countless people, created a super brand full of justice, kindness, bravery, and outstanding ability similar to Harry Potter himself."


    "This special brand, on the one hand, can make the image of the entire series more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, on the other hand, it can allow consumers to find spiritual and emotional sustenance and expression in it, complete a more perfect self-experience, and also make related derivatives. Get the recognition and trust of consumers."


    "This is conducive to cultivating a large number of loyal supporters, which may have a lifelong impact on them, and even spread to generations. This is undoubtedly confirmed by the more than ten years of Harry Potter''s birth."


    "This has also allowed Ryan to successfully create a comprehensive and three-dimensional derivative series around the brand image that has been established over the years, which completely confirms Harry Potter''s position in the market."


    In fact, although Ryan is leading the project and grasping the direction of the overall plan, the detailed work is formulated and executed by professionals. Time Warner and Walt Disney have a wealth of successful experience in the operation of the entire industry chain.


    From the perspective of the industrial chain, although Harry Potter was born in his hands, and success is inseparable from publicity, the quality of the series of books is sufficiently guaranteed. With the imaginative magic background and the design close to the hearts of young people, they have won a wide range of The support of, also laid a good foundation for the development of other copyrights in the future.


    The day Ryan thought of this series was not for books, but for the entire huge industrial chain including movies.


    This industrial chain is beyond imagination.


    The banking industry wants to authorize to make Harry Potter credit cards that young people like...


    The insurance industry wants to authorize it. When selling children''s insurance, the Harry Potter mark on the relevant description can be more pleasing to customers.


    Even in the pet market, there are suddenly a lot of owls, and they have become the most popular animals in North America recently...


    Soon, there were more than 10,000 Harry Potter products on the market.


    This cross-border commodity boom has naturally aroused the analysis of countless experts. Many people have written articles claiming, "If the quality of subsequent movies can be guaranteed, in the next ten or two decades, products related to Harry Potter will be able to Drive 200 billion U.S. dollars in economic benefits."


    Others think that when the movie ends, Ryan himself can get a minimum of 10 billion U.S. dollars in share income.


    "Ryan sells not commodities, but dreams and ideas."


    This is from a report on the front page of the "New York Times", "We can call it the Jenkins effect!" To be continued. . ()

 Chapter 525： Short film plan

    Juebijingza was in the middle of the sales of peripheral products. Ryan left the Kingdom of Great Britain. Although the media has recently begun to hype that he is actually a **** and what he is like with Nicole and others, it is undoubtedly that he is ignored. the best choice. Yeah


    Besides, as long as those remarks cross the line, there will naturally be corresponding means waiting for them.


    Similarly, Nicole also ignored these. As a director of Disney and Paramount, she certainly knows what the media is and knows how to deal with it to her best advantage.


    Compared with Ryan¡¯s dwindling film promotion, she is more interested in typical Hollywood life and enjoys life under the spotlight. Coupled with the protection of identity and status, it is enough to make her own in any crew. An important voice.


    Soon after the New Year, the movie "Moulin Rouge", which was only screened, was fully launched in theaters. This film, which Nicole occupies more than half of the investment, also officially launched a busy publicity journey.


    "There is no law, no restriction, only one rule, never fall in love!"


    In the small theater of the Boeing airliner, Nicole did not watch "Moulin Rouge" on the screen, but held his chin and looked at Ryan, "You know, this line was specially made by me for the screenwriter to join it."


    "Nicole, you are so beautiful."


    Ryan didn''t answer that topic at all, didn''t turn his head, and deliberately said in an aria-like voice, "Tall figure, **** singing voice, my dear, I never knew you sang so good."


    "But many film critics said that I acted like a fool in the film." Her eyes flashed dangerously.


    "I swear." Ryan quickly raised his right hand, and his eyes left the screen, "It definitely has nothing to do with me."


    "If it has anything to do with you..." Nicole understands the truth that it''s too late and just accept it, "Can you get on this plane?"


    "So you''re very satisfied with the plane?" Ryan quickly turned the topic to the newly arrived Boeing plane.


    "Not bad." Nicole nodded and suddenly asked, "The order should have been placed a long time ago? The interior decoration is completely my favorite style. Are you so sure that I will come back?"


    "No, I''m not sure. Shuwang Pooh" Ryan didn''t push the topic away. Seriously said, "Even if you really leave, you will still be my relatives."


    "Isn''t it an enemy?" Nicole snorted deliberately and poked his chest. "Don''t think I don''t know how narrow your heart is."


    "How greedy is inside!" she added.


    Without saying anything, Ryan hugged her tightly, Nicole hesitated a little, and hugged him tightly.


    When the two separated and looked at the big screen again, Ryan''s eyes couldn''t help but twitch a few times, and Sha Ting and Christian were kissing passionately on the screen.


    "Your eyes are uncomfortable?" Nicole was obviously on purpose.


    "No." Ryan shook his head quickly.


    How familiar he is with film production. I just took a look at it and I realized that this is a misplaced shooting.


    Slowly holding Nicole''s hand, the two heads touched their heads, and they leaned together until the end of the movie.


    "The most touching thing in the world is to love and be loved."


    Stepping out of this cabin that has been converted into a theater and other multi-functional entertainment, Nicole suddenly felt a little emotional, "Ryan, don''t let me have an excuse and opportunity to leave you."


    "There will never be."


    Regardless of the flight attendants who had signed the confidentiality agreement, Ryan directly hugged Nicole. Walked to the cabin on the other side, "Honey, we should rest."


    Nicole sighed slightly, her light blue eyes slowly merged.


    What did the two of them do. They just hugged them and slept beautifully. After waking up, there was still some time before arriving in New York. Ryan simply brought snacks and drinks and talked about the plane while eating.


    This is Boeing''s latest 777 series. It is a tailor-made private jet. Ryan is definitely one of Boeing''s most high-quality personal customers. They not only provide the most advanced modifications for the aircraft. Also recommended a very good flight attendant team.


    As for Ryan''s own one, there is still some time before delivery. Yeah


    The topic of the two naturally turned to Nicole''s busy publicity schedule.


    "First North America, then Australia."


    This movie Nicole paid most of his investment out of his own pocket and also served as a producer. Naturally, he wanted to recoup all the investment. "The whole promotion schedule is quite full. Maybe he will go to China again, my dear, you are not. Are you interested in their culture?"


    Leaning over to take a strawberry and stuffing it into Yanhong''s mouth, Nicole said vaguely, "If the schedule is determined, why not join us?"


    "Notify me at that time." Ryan made a call gesture, picked up a strawberry and placed it next to Nicole''s red lips.


    In fact, Ryan has been paying attention to this movie and knows that this is one of the most important films introduced by China Film Group. The other party has already sent out an invitation. If Nicole is really successful, he will be the first to go there to participate in the movie. The premiere of the Oscar queen.


    However, with Nicole¡¯s senses, it¡¯s hard to tell whether she will go or not. In her previous life, she let her pigeons go.


    Swallowing the same red strawberry, Nicole deliberately bit on Ryan''s hand with care, and the sky blue eyes rolled, "What are you going to do in New York next?"


    "Uh¡­¡­"


    Ryan was taken aback for a moment, the grape that had just been stuffed into his mouth rolled into his throat, his eyes widened.


    "Cough...cough..."


    After coughing several times, he stretched out his hand to Nicole, "Water...give me water...cough..."


    "You are really stupid!"


    After complaining, Nicole did not go to get the water glass. After leaning over, he gently patted his back, "Is it better?"


    "Much better." Ryan clutched his chest and turned to Nicole''s side, "I have swallowed it."


    With a light sigh, Nicole put on her slippers and brought a cup of soda. After sitting down again, she didn''t mention the things just now, but just stuffed the cup into Ryan''s hand.


    The Boeing plane crossed the Atlantic Ocean and finally reached the Big Apple. After contacting the airport and putting Ryan down, the Boeing plane once again rushed into the sky and embarked on the itinerary to Los Angeles.


    Coming to the outside of the airport, George and the others got in the car of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, while Ryan found an unremarkable Chevrolet off-road.


    Pulling the car door, jumping into the position of the co-pilot, before he greeted Natalie in the driving seat, another familiar girl''s voice came from behind.


    "Let me just say, why did Nat personally pick up the people at the airport? It turned out that Ryan was here." Scarlett Johansson was lying in the position of the co-pilot, her head extended to the front.


    Natalie hurriedly pushed her back, turned around and started the car, "Scarlett, be honest."


    "Okay." Scarlett honestly sat in the back seat, "It looks like I''m going to be a light bulb again."


    Ryan didn''t care, and before Natalie turned into the fast lane, she leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, in exchange for the laughter from behind.


    "Is it so funny?" Ryan turned to look around, jokingly, "Scarlett, don''t you have a boyfriend?"


    Scarlett stopped laughing, sat upright, and said seriously, "There are a few who pursue me, either too old, too ugly, or too naive, and some have other purposes."


    Hearing what the girl said, Ryan also roughly understood that Scarlett in this world has a rich family and a mother who is a shareholder and executive of a film company. It is inevitable that she will encounter pursuers with ulterior motives.


    "So..." Scarlett smiled suddenly again, she deliberately made a face, "I decided to dedicate all my love to dear Alison."


    Ryan and Natalie laughed at the joke.


    Scarlett behind didn''t mean to stop, and squatted behind Ryan''s seat. "But my dear Miss Swift abandoned me and hid in England. What should I do?"


    "Scar, sit down." Ryan knocked on the backrest and reminded, "Are you confident in Nat''s car skills?"


    "Oh¡­¡­"


    Scarlett looked at Natalie, a driver who was not very reliable, and quickly returned to the back seat, "God bless, I forgot that it was Nat who was driving."


    Of course, although Natalie''s car skills are not particularly good, it is not exaggerated to this point.


    The car went directly to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan. Because it was close to noon, the three went directly to the Western restaurant.


    There are not many people in the western restaurant. Ryan chose a seat next to the window at random, asked the two ladies for their opinions, and ordered a few simple foods.


    "Nate, do you have any plans next?" Ryan filled the two girls with juice before picking up his own tableware.


    After Natalie swallowed the tender steak, she wiped her greasy mouth with a tissue, "Dubbing the second episode of the Star Wars Prequel..."


    She looked at Scarlett again, and the two girls showed tacit smiles. Ryan couldn''t help frowning and asked curiously, "You... have any secrets I don''t know?"


    "Of course." Scarlett nodded, muttering her cheeks, "but I won''t tell you."


    Ryan didn''t bother to pay attention to this rebellious girl and simply looked at Natalie, the question in her eyes was very obvious.


    "Actually nothing."


    Natalie picked up the knife and fork, cutting the steak on the disk, and said, "I wrote a simple story with Scarlett. I wanted to make a short film. Scarlett agreed to be the heroine."


    "Nate, how can you be a traitor." Scarlett took a sip of juice and swallowed the food in her mouth, "Don''t forget our agreement."


    "I didn''t say anything specific to Ryan." Natalie smiled at her.


    "Can you know the specific content?"


    Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Ryan looked at Natalie. He knew that the Long Island Girls had been learning about directors, and now they are finally taking the first step. "Maybe I can make some comments."


    "This is just a fifteen-minute short film."


    While Scarlett shook her head, Natalie slowly said, "The content was written by me and Scarlett through consultation..." To be continued. . ()

 Chapter 526： Trivia about the movie

    çéíåè³za "Since you want to keep it secret, wait until the last to uncover the suspense."


    He beckoned to the waiters, Ryan asked them to remove the plates and bring them new coffee, and then turned the topic to the short film, "Nate, whether it¡¯s books or on set, you have learned a lot about directors. Knowledge, but shooting a short film can¡¯t be done with two people. You need a team.¡±


    "That''s why I mentioned this to you."


    The waiter brought coffee, and Natalie motioned Scarlett to help herself with sugar, and continued, "I don''t think this is a problem for you."


    Since the filming of "Attack of the Clones", she gradually gave up those previous ideas.


    "You are very confident?"


    After adding milk and coffee, Ryan picked up the coffee cup, "What about the funds?"


    "I paid for it myself."


    Under the table, she gently kicked Scarlett who was just about to speak. Natalie said what she needed urgently, "Ryan, I need an experienced photographer."


    "You also need an assistant director."


    Although it is only a short film of ten minutes, Ryan, Darren Bousman and others have produced it. They know that this is definitely not a simple job. "Nat, it is very hard work to be a part-time actor and director at the same time."


    "This is the path I chose." Natalie''s eyes were extremely firm.


    "Hey, you guys seem to ignore me, right?" Scarlett got off the table deliberately, and only after attracting the attention of Ryan and Natalie, she mumbled, "Two strange guys, one learns clearly. The one is clinical psychology, so I just want to be a director; the other is obviously a high-achieving student at the Film School of Southern University, but he has no interest in directors."


    The best way to deal with a girl in the rebellious period is to leave her alone. Ryan took out his mobile phone, dialed Harvey Weinstein''s number, and said things briefly. There was no problem with the reply immediately, and he would take care of all the chores. Book Net


    "If the production is too late, Natalie can take the short film to the Cannes Film Festival exhibition." The big fat man did not forget to remind him before hanging up the phone.


    "I''ll let Nat contact you." Ryan cut off the phone, then took a napkin and reached out to Scarlett. "Lend your lip gloss and use it, Scarlett."


    "I''m here for you." Scarlett opened the bag, found the lipstick, and put it directly in front of him. Ryan wrote Harvey Weinstein''s contact information. Pushed it to Natalie, "You can contact Harvey directly. If you want to go to Cannes or other film festivals, he can also arrange."


    "It''s better to wait until the production is finished." Natalie knows that her starting point is high, and I am afraid that many people who want to be directors will be jealous.


    "It''s a pity that the short film only has one main role." Scarlett did not take the lipstick that Ryan handed over, and continued to mumble, "Otherwise, let Ryan be the actor. Our short film will definitely make a sensation in the United States."


    "My dear, will you pay 25 million dollars in salary?" Natalie couldn''t help but glared at her, Scarlett curled her lips, "Then you sell me."


    More and more people are dining in the restaurant. Ryan simply took them out and came to the special elevator of the presidential suite. Scarlett suddenly made a proposal.


    "There is nothing to do when I go back, so let''s go to the movies."


    Just finished speaking. She seemed to think of something, sticking out her tongue playfully and making gestures. Said embarrassingly, "I forgot that you have reunited after a long time."


    After speaking, she waved her hand and walked to the other elevator room, "I''m going to find Parli and Drew, they should be back after finishing the promotion."


    The stars are dotted in the silent night sky, brighter than the full moon is the neon of the Big Apple, and Manhattan is a veritable city that never sleeps.


    Wearing thick cotton pajamas, Ryan and Natalie were sitting on wicker chairs in front of the French windows, drinking passionate black tea while looking at the Statue of Liberty at the mouth of the Hudson River.


    "Manhattan is missing two tallest buildings."


    Putting the tea cups between the two of them, Natalie took Ryan''s arm and lightly placed it on his shoulder, "Everyone is uncomfortable, even now."


    "All this will pass." Ryan didn''t know what to say, so he slowly stroked her long brown curly hair. "The most important thing is that none of us is hurt."


    For these words, Natalie naturally understood that even with so many changes in the past two years, Ryan treated her friends very well.


    "I heard that the academy may cancel the awards ceremony." Natalie snatched her curls back from Ryan and mentioned the Oscar. "Is it true that the list of awards will be announced directly?"


    "Absolutely impossible." Ryan shook his head directly. "The academy will not compromise on its most influential links."


    The September 11 attacks also had an impact on the Oscars and its surroundings. Some time ago, there were speculations and suggestions that the award ceremony should be postponed or cancelled. However, the newly appointed chairman of the college, Pearson, publicly stated,''The college will never do this. , Because this is equivalent to declaring to the outside world-terrorism has won''.


    Wanting the Oscars to cancel the awards ceremony is definitely not something that anti-war people or other people call for.


    Like a brand like Harry Potter, the Oscars with a long history has long formed a complete industrial chain, which is related to the interests of a series of people or groups, and it can be cancelled if it is cancelled.


    Besides, how important is the award ceremony to Hollywood stars?


    Even though Hollywood is the center of the left, these stars are smart people. Saying it is one thing, doing it is another thing.


    However, this Oscar may become the tightest security in history.


    Based on security considerations, the college announced early that it would increase reservation restrictions on red carpet seats before the awards ceremony. Applicants will be selected at random and will be subject to background checks.


    Speaking of Oscar, Ryan couldn''t help thinking of the script given to Natalie and asked her a few words.


    Natalie sat upright, smoothed the long curly hair that was disturbed by Ryan, frowned and said, "Ryan, I like the script very much, and I like the heroine very much. I know that if I play well, this role can What to bring..."


    She hesitated for a moment, and said firmly, "I want to direct this movie. I know I don''t have the ability yet, so I want to wait a few years for me to become more mature."


    "Ok."


    Holding up Natalie''s face, Ryan kissed her forehead forcefully, "Then I suggest you study more relevant background information."


    At the same time, he sighed lightly, and when he went back, he had to send someone to the Screenwriters Association to file for the record... Well, he had to publicize the script.


    "I have bought some books in this area." Natalie kissed Ryan back, pulled him up, and walked towards the bedroom together, "It''s not early, we should go to bed."


    The next morning, Scarlett took Ryan and Natalie to the theater. Of course, the movie she watched was not "Princess Diary" starring her, but the super-production "Charlie Girl 2" by Flower Pictures. She was yesterday I went to find Paris Hilton and Drew Barrymore who came to New York to promote the film.


    "Demi Moore is getting old." This was the first sentence Scarlett said after walking out of the theater box, "The box office appeal is not as good as before."


    "Except for "Human Ghost Love Is Not Over", she has never succeeded in the box office behind her."


    Entering the underground parking lot, Ryan drove the Chevrolet off-road, waited for the two girls to get in the car, and sat in the driving seat, "This movie may make her turn over."


    Ryan started the car, left the chain theater, and drove towards a clubhouse of the Hilton family on Long Island. Scarlett and Charlie¡¯s three angels had an appointment yesterday to ride a horse together.


    With the release of "Charlie Girl 2", the three angels naturally became prosperous again, and every place they went, they would attract countless people''s screams.


    This movie landed in North America after the New Year, with a box office of nearly $60 million in the first week, and successfully pulled "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" from the top of the box office charts.


    However, the staying power of the movie is a bit worse. It has been released for almost three weeks, and the North American box office is worth over 100 million.


    Although it is unrealistic to recover costs through the box office, it is not difficult to rely on the issuer Disney''s huge industrial chain to achieve profitability with various peripherals.


    "That''s it for this series."


    After meeting the three in the racecourse, Ryan and Natalie rode together, and they walked slowly, and talked about the movie with Drew next to him, "Drew, focus on manpower and material resources. Go to "The Moment"."


    "I know." Drew also wants to play a role in it, and understands the goal of the film, "The preparations are going well, um..."


    She looked at Natalie, who was leaning against Ryan''s arms, and rolled her eyes without a trace, "We will be able to boot up when a few actors are in place."


    Ryan made a gesture of wiping her throat Drew shrugged on purpose, flicked the reins, and ran out at a speed.


    "Give me the reins." Natalie snatched the reins from Ryan, then turned her head back and raised her eyebrows. "My dear, this horse is under my control. If you don''t want to fall, please hug me. "


    "Hey, Nat..." Ryan quickly moved back and let out the stirrups, "Don''t go too fast."


    "Hmm~"


    Natalie nodded, and after Ryan hugged her waist, she accelerated her horse speed slightly, "I joined the riding club at Harvard, so don''t worry."


    Happy time is always short. When Natalie was about to start school, Ryan personally sent her to Cambridge. The two hid in that villa. After three days of lingering, only one of them entered Harvard. On campus, the other flew back to Los Angeles.


    With the passage of time, another awards season is coming. In the face of the threat of fearism and the appeal of anti-war people to cancel the Oscars, the college held a luncheon for the Oscar nominees on time. To be continued. . ()

 Chapter 527： Nomination list

    As before, Ryan did not attend the nominees luncheon, besides, there was no personal nomination for him this time.


    In this list of nominations, the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" has undoubtedly become the biggest winner, with a total of 13 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Art Director, and Best Original Song.


    According to past practice, the more nominated films, the more likely it is to win the best film, but the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" is definitely not in this rank, after all, there are two other films that have not been released.


    Another winner comes from Nicole¡¯s investment in "Moulin Rouge." This film released by Twentieth Century Fox has achieved the best results in musicals in recent years. Not only has the North American box office increased all the way, it has also been awarded by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Recognized and won eight nominations including Best Picture, Best Make-up, Best Editing, Best Actress, and Best Costume Design.


    The Oscars in recent years, the competition between DreamWorks and Jenkins has almost become the theme of the stage, and this year is no exception.


    "A Beautiful Mind" starring Russell Crowe, produced by DreamWorks, received eight nominations including best actor, best director, and best picture.


    The focus of Ryan''s public relations, "The Devil" did not disappoint, helping Charlize Theron to win the second Oscar nomination for Best Actress in his life.


    Of course, this is the only nomination for this film.


    Sitting in the new office in the Disney headquarters building, Ryan saw the nomination list and found that he had overlooked too many things. It was quite difficult for Charlize Theron to get the best actress.


    Needless to say, the pressure from Nicole¡¯s side, the Australian girl didn¡¯t mean to give in at all. Since "Moulin Rouge" was screened, Pa? Kingsley and others have been doing their best to publicize her, although the role image is too beautiful, not She will be the first choice of the judges, but her contacts and networks for many years far exceed those of her previous life, and it is not impossible to be upset and win the prize.


    But the biggest threat comes from the skin color. Ryan saw several very familiar names from the nomination list, such as "Boxing King Ali" Will Smith, "Training Day" Denzel Washington, and "Dance of Death Row". Lee Berry.


    This seems to be the first time since 1972 that three black movie stars have been shortlisted for the best actor and actress at the same time.


    Then, Ryan gradually remembered the award-winning situation of the previous Oscars. Whether it was the actor or the queen, many people later criticized it as one of the biggest parallel imports.


    Because the skin color has become the biggest boost for them to win awards.


    In any term, their skin color will only bring about a reduction in points, but 9/11 has just passed, and unity is now the mainstream voice, and black celebrities and actresses are undoubtedly the best embodiment of mainstream voices.


    It''s really troublesome!


    Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head. Oscar''s fairness and justice are always relative. Movies and roles are only the most basic conditions for determining the attribution of awards.


    Thinking of this, he called Spielberg and David Geffen, presumably the two would feel the same.


    In some respects, black movie stars may have a great chance of winning, but if the voice and strength of opposition are strong enough, they can also be defeated.


    The two parties quickly reached an agreement, and Ryan called the heads of the various media affiliated to Disney, and tried his best to create forces for Charlize and others.


    With the calls made, not only Disney, but also the network of relationships he woven over the years has gradually been activated. For example, in the following two weeks, Charlize became the cover character of Time Magazine for the first time, which quoted After taking Roger Albert''s original words, she called her performance in "The Devil''s Head" the greatest performance in film history.


    Although the canvassing party could not be held, there are still people running in secret under Ryan''s instruction. His public relations team are all tried and tested veterans and will never touch the sensitive bottom line of the college.


    As for the actor and actress in the previous life, Ryan didn''t care anymore. Who made them not his friends?


    Besides, if Harry Berry gets the best actress, by the time the third episode of "X-Men" is made, her pay will probably rise to astronomical numbers.


    If such a group drama needs an Oscar queen to hold the line, Jean Gray is more suitable than the storm girl playing soy sauce.


    Entrusted with a special person responsible for handling public relations matters, Ryan temporarily put the Oscar matter aside, there is still some time before the awards ceremony, and sufficient publicity must be maintained.


    For judges like him who are used to voting with their feet, high-profile comments from the media are the best way to influence.


    That''s not right. He often voted to see the close relationship first, and then to recall the impression of his previous life. As for movies and characters, they would hardly be the basis for reference.


    After becoming the creative director of Disney, Ryan has the right to directly intervene in all film affairs.


    After the completion of the merger, typical teenage idol movies like "Princess Diaries" were fully transferred from Jenkins Pictures to Disney Pictures. As Disney¡¯s most important department, in addition to preparing for "Pirates of the Caribbean", it will also Prepare to shoot "Very Little Secret Agent".


    The person in charge of the latter set his sights on the little guys such as Tyler and Kristen Stewart, but Tyler had no interest in the movie starring Phil, and refused without even thinking about it.


    Of course, Disney is a good hand at operating this type of movie, so finding the right actors is no problem.


    There is also the animation part of Disney. Although Ed Camel and John Lasseter have the power to control all the animation companies under Disney, Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Studios are still very distinct.


    Ryan also didn''t want Pixar to become another Disney animation, and the works produced were all musical and sweet genres.


    This type is enough to be produced by Disney Animation Studios. In order to promote the development of Disney Animation, 200 former Disney employees of Pixar returned to Disney and became one of the backbone forces of Disney''s computer animation.


    But Disney Animation is too far away from its former glory. It is impossible to regain its strength without several years of hard work.


    Then there is the "Harry Potter" series. After obtaining a full range of authorization, Disney¡¯s performance last month has seen an explosive growth. At present, it has reached an agreement with Ryan. Starting from the second part, it will be comprehensive Involved in the production and distribution of movies and the sales of peripheral products in the later period.


    Afterwards, Ryan went to Disney Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, to participate in the preparatory meeting for his first major production "Pirates of the Caribbean" after he joined Disney.


    Today''s Disney Pictures has also undergone staff turnover. Julis Stewart has become the head of this famous film company, and Jenkins Pictures has been completely handed over to Mario Casa and Melanie Sloan.


    Of course, this film company is very different from Jenkins Pictures, mainly producing g-level or pg-level movies.


    "Pirates of the Caribbean" used the original crew and signed three contracts. Of course, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley didn¡¯t need to say, they responded immediately after receiving Ryan¡¯s invitation. Come down.


    And Johnny Depp also didn''t think about it for too long. The analysis of Captain Jack Sparrow in the script deeply attracted him.


    Besides, this guy is getting older, and he has not developed smoothly in recent years, and he is eager to get rid of his current red but not purple state.


    "Jerry, a few points."


    In the conference room, after Yiying''s business united his opinions, Ryan stood up and reminded Jerry Bruckheimer who was the executive producer, ¡°Try to build a real Black Pearl and recruit some more in appearance. Characteristic actors play pirates. I believe this effect will be better..."


    Hearing what he said, everyone sitting around the conference table laughed.


    "Depp, you''d better get a few gold teeth." Walking to the future Captain Sparrow, Ryan patted him on the shoulder, "I have to learn how to walk catwalks."


    Johnny Depp smiled and shrugged.


    The first trilogy of the film will be shot all at once. Ryan has set a total production budget of more than 400 million U.S. dollars for this. After the initial funds are received, director Gore Wibinski and producer Jerry ?Bruckheimer, has found a suitable filming location for the movie.


    The location was in Rosario, Lower California, where "Titanic" was filmed.


    After the shooting of "Titanic" that year, Ryan had to sell the model ship as a scrap, but the artificial lake and the studio remained and became the preferred shooting location for many marine movies, and the rental fees brought by these , Is also a very expensive income.


    After several years of development, Rosario has also become one of Hollywood''s important filming bases.


    "Remind you all."


    At the end of the preparatory meeting, Ryan stood at the front of the conference table and said seriously, "Prepare enough medicine for seasickness."


    He pointed to himself, "I have experienced it firsthand."


    Because she was only sixteen years old Keira Knightley¡¯s mother accompanied her to the preparatory meeting. When the others were almost gone, she came to Ryan.


    "Thank you, Ryan." She shook Ryan''s hand and said quite sincerely, "Thank you for giving Kayla this opportunity."


    "You are welcome, Ms. Shaman."


    The other party moved a lot during the shooting of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone", and Ryan waved his hand at random, "It is necessary to help each other."


    "Ryan, isn''t Tyler in Los Angeles?"


    Hearing Keira Knightley¡¯s question, Ryan shook her hand and greeted her, and said, "Emma Watson is here, and they have gone out to sea together. It is estimated that they will be back in a few days."


    "When she comes back, I''ll visit her again." Relationships are the most common method in Hollywood, and few people who can become famous are fools.


    After finishing the preliminary preparations for "Pirates of the Caribbean", Ryan is about to invest in his new movie. Marvel Pictures'' preparations for "Captain America" ??are also being completed, and the shooting stage is about to enter. rs()

 Chapter 528： Representative of the American Spirit

    "Hello everyone, viewers, this is a live news program from the TV station, I am..."


    In the TV screen, a reporter holding a logo microphone is talking in front of the set, and there are at least dozens of reporters behind him, "This is the studio area of ??Universal Studios. We have the exact news. Marvel Comics is the latest. The filming of "Captain America" ??has been filmed here for three days. According to insiders, Ryan Jenkins, who is beloved by fans, played the role of Steve Rogers..."


    Suddenly, the picture turned to the distance, two black cars drove over one after another, and the reporter''s voice sounded at the same time, "It is Ryan''s car that came over..."


    "Mr. Jenkins, how do you feel about playing Steve Rogers?"


    Then, countless noisy questions sounded from the TV. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    "Ryan, Steve Rogers is the best symbol of the American spirit. You also have this trait in your body. Isn''t that why you decided to play this role?"


    "The U.S. needs heroes now, and it needs heroes like Captain America. When will this movie be released?"


    "I heard that Miss Nicole Kidman will play Peggy Carter, are you all coming together again?"


    "Ryan..."


    "Mr. Jenkins..."


    Although the reporter was surrounded by the two cars, the windows were never lowered. With the assistance of the studio staff, the car slowly drove into the studio area, and finally disappeared in the TV screen.


    "Ryan did not give an interview, but we believe that he will give us the greatest Steve Rogers ever."


    After a long conversation from the reporter, the picture was transferred to the studio, and the two guests analyzed it.


    "Although we have had the most difficult moments, America desperately needs heroes now."


    "Yes. Our movies can''t be commercial only for the sake of business. In addition to the heroes who have been sticking to Manhattan in reality, the people also need spiritual encouragement. We need a big screen that fits this era and represents the United States. Spiritual hero."


    "Captain America, born at a time of national crisis, is the best candidate. Marvel Comics made the smartest choice."


    "They are smarter. They have found the best representatives of American culture and American spirit today to star in this movie. Think about it. Who is more suitable to play Captain America than Ryan?"


    "We have reason to expect this movie. It will re-awaken the greatest American spirit of that era and help us tide over the difficulties again..."


    In the media these days, you can see the news of Captain America everywhere. Irene Kruger is a fan of comics himself, and he is very interested in bringing such a heavyweight comic to the big screen.


    Frankly speaking, although the TV station''s words are a bit exaggerated, he also believes that there is no more suitable candidate for Captain America than Ryan in all of Hollywood.


    Turn off the TV, and Ilan Kruger, who lives in New Orleans, walks to the desk. Turned on the computer and wanted to find more information about Ryan and Steve Rogers from the Internet.


    I typed ¡®Captain America¡¯ in the Google search bar, and tapped the search button lightly, and a large number of organized related news appeared on the display screen.


    There is the origin of the birth of Captain America. There is also a list of some cast and crew members, and even an official website...


    Although not a media practitioner, Irene Kruger also knows that the producer has spent considerable effort on publicity, and the film has just started shooting.


    The promotion of a movie is a long and tedious process. What Ryan and Marvel want to create is a huge series. It can be said that they racked their brains in terms of promotion and set a large budget.


    The Internet, TV, print media, and every surprise movie released are their propaganda positions.


    With the launch of "Captain America", the previously tepid publicity work has also officially started to warm up the market in advance.


    The film is deeply affected by the social environment in which it is located. The impact of 9/11 will not change significantly within two to three years. The work of a patriotism and American spirit such as "Captain America" ??will definitely be welcomed.


    During this period, even the "Patriot Act" could be passed, and the influence of Captain America, which represents traditional American values, can be imagined.


    In the Universal Studios studio, Ryan is wearing Captain America¡¯s iconic uniform, holding a shield, and knocking, kicking, and shielding an enemy, bringing down a member of the Hydra armed to his teeth. .


    However, if you take a closer look, you can tell that the stuntmen are upside down or fly out before his fists and shields reach his body.


    "Cut!"


    David Fincher''s voice sounded, "Ryan..."


    Raising his head, Ryan took off his helmet and walked towards the camera. It was not easy to invite David Fincher. Although the other party agreed to be the director, he stated that he would only direct the first part.


    "Is there any problem?" Ryan came to behind the camera.


    "I think your power should be increased." David Fincher motioned to the cameraman to replay the footage just taken, and clicked on a few fighting shots. "All tricks are removed, and the action is simpler and more direct. "


    "I thought it was simple and straightforward enough now."


    After joking, Ryan shouted to the roaring commando on standby, "Tiger, come here."


    The Roaring Commando is definitely a large collection of various races, and Tiger Chen played the Asian member.


    Ryan¡¯s preliminary action training was completed under the guidance of Tiger Chen. With the success of several action films and Ryan¡¯s support, he completely established himself in Hollywood and served as the action director of this film. one.


    The action director gathered several action directors together and discussed how to improve the fighting scenes. Ryan and David Fincher chatted a few more words and returned to their rest area.


    "Hi, John." Ryan greeted a thin actor sitting here.


    "Hello, Ryan." The other person stood up and shook hands with him. "I didn''t expect me to be your stand-in."


    "Sit, you are welcome."


    After the other party sat down again, Ryan took off the shield attached to his back and handed it to his assistant, "We should communicate and communicate more in order to strengthen understanding."


    The actor named John James nodded and asked about Ryan''s behavior habits very professionally.


    Although he does not have the unusually developed muscles of the previous life, Ryan is also a standard sportsman. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as strong. In the first quarter of the film, he will play a role at most. For a little one hundred and thirty pounds, using traditional make-up techniques is obviously not enough.


    At the beginning, the special effects team wanted to use some of the special shooting techniques used in "The Lord of the Rings", such as dislocation and looking up shooting, using some props and environments to cover key parts, but the film involved too many shots in these aspects. , It is easy to wear help.


    So the film crew found him a stand-in for him from the London Shakespeare Company, that is, Mr. John James. Although the two are very different in size, at first glance, the other looks like a reduced version of him.


    In particular, this drama actor has a specialty, he is extremely good at imitating others.


    In fact, before the filming started, Surprise Pictures contacted Industrial Magic Light. The special effects company deliberately found two very different characters, one thin and one very strong. They filmed some standing, sitting and walking movements, and then passed them through. After the series of special effects were processed, a completely feasible conclusion was reached, and it also provided the crew with statistical data on the difficulty and time of production.


    According to the scheduled plan, the filming started to focus on the scenes in the studio, because the other actors have not yet been in place, most of which are the plots of Steve Rogers and the Roaring Commando.


    Here, Ryan also met old acquaintances. Ryan Gosling passed the audition and got the role of James Barnes, which is the future Winter Soldier.


    He can be regarded as the person who sang for Ryan at the beginning, and the development is the least smooth. Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have become a new generation of young queens, and Justin Dingblake is also a certain Important members of the idol team, even Jessica Simpson has started her own business.


    Only Ryan Gosling gave up singing and dropped out of school to become a pure actor after leaving the Mickey Mouse club. Unfortunately, he has not really become famous until now.


    "Don''t worry, I have seen some of your roles."


    In other words, it is also a past acquaintance. When chatting outside of filming, Ryan will also say a few words of encouragement, "Thomas, you will soon have your own moment."


    For Ryan, except for the action scenes, such a superhero movie is easy to control, and David Fincher''s requirements for acting skills are not too strict, although the action scenes will inevitably be unexpected, but After the running-in period of booting , the overall progress is fairly smooth.


    Besides, this is not a movie going for acting and awards. Ryan will not ask for hardships. The difficult action scenes are naturally completed by professional stunt doubles.


    "For this movie, we must first ensure the spirit represented by Captain America."


    When the old man Stan Lee came to visit the class, he discussed the plot of the movie with Ryan and David Fincher, "The fighting and special effects are all for this spirit."


    "What America needs most now is the spirit represented by Captain America." Ryan agreed with the old man. "As long as this aspect is prominent enough, coupled with excellent special effects and fighting, the box office of the movie is definitely not a problem."


    "Why do I always feel that you are being pulled on a boat heading for the wrong road?" Of course, David Fincher knows that the first factor in such a movie is business, and catering to the market is the prerequisite. "Ryan, if I shoot in the future, A literary and artistic film, and you need an excellent actor like you, you..."


    "No problem." Ryan nodded, not waiting for David Finch to be happy, and deliberately added, "As long as you are willing to pay me the full amount." ()

 Chapter 529： He is our Captain America

    Hearing Ye Kai''s voice, Ling Mo and others rushed up quickly, but when they looked up, they saw an indescribable scene.


    A huge black shadow blocked the light cast from the upper level. It was standing there with a corpse in its left hand. As the blood continued to trickle down the stairs, its blood-red, glowing eyes also looked at Ling Mo and his party from left to right. The most shocking thing is that there is a long whip behind it, swinging left and right...


    "Is this a mutant beast... or an underground creature?" Yu Wenxuan swallowed and whispered.


    "Don''t you think that tail is a bit familiar?" Shana said.


    Suddenly encountering such a monster, everyone was a little unable to move for a while. Obviously, its combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to those of the face-changing monsters. It just stood there, already giving them a lot of pressure. Moreover, during the brief confrontation between the two sides, Ling Mo also discovered with horror that its face seemed to be more than just a human face...


    "It seems to be..." As soon as Mu Chen spoke, the monster suddenly and slowly backed away.


    It kept staring at them closely, and finally suddenly jumped and disappeared into the darkness...


    "That''s bad." Ling Mo''s face suddenly sank. This monster will definitely continue to sneak attacks on them in the next search process... and the reason why it came to meet them in advance is nothing more than to bring them greater psychological pressure...


    At the same time, somewhere in the building.


    A little girl was wagging her hands and leaping in the dusty hall.


    "Sister, where are you?" it shouted in a very naive tone. But just the grim smile on its face. It is enough to show that its essence is definitely not as cute as it seems on the surface...


    Now on its side. An eye was passing through an inconspicuous gap, locking it firmly.


    The long eyelashes of this eye fluttered gently, with a slight dazed expression in his eyes. When the little girl came out from behind a pillar, her eyes suddenly became focused, and at the same time the muzzle of the black hole moved slowly, aiming at the little girl''s head little by little...


    "Sister, come out quickly..." It circled the place, and then continued to walk forward, looking around. "You have been hiding for a long time, and I have counted a lot... Hee hee, don''t you? Don''t worry, come out, I won''t do anything to you, the game of who kills who is the first is over... "


    At the same moment, that slender, white finger also squeezed the trigger and pressed it down little by little.


    "because¡­¡­"


    At this moment, the little girl suddenly turned her head, her eyes that turned red suddenly looked straight in the direction of the muzzle: "We have a new game again..."


    "Boom!"


    A blaze burst out of the muzzle at the same instant...


    "Did you hear anything?" Li Yalin asked suddenly.


    "What?" Ling Mo immediately turned to look at her.


    "I don''t know... it feels very soft..." Li Yalin said, squeezing her earlobe uncertainly. "It seems that there is a little interference with the sound... Or maybe the sound is not loud, I know..."


    Ling Mo immediately raised his head and looked up. After a moment of silence, he said, "Ye Lian is upstairs."


    "Ah? So...Will the maternal body also be upstairs?" Xu Shuhan also stopped and said.


    Whoosh--


    A dark shadow suddenly flashed behind these people.


    Just as they turned their heads, another dark shadow swayed from behind them at this time.


    "Is the monster following us?" Ye Kai raised the knife and asked. Book Net


    The rest of the people couldn''t help but feel a little nervous. This feeling not only seemed to be followed by something, but also made people feel horrified.


    "Not that...but those." Shana corrected her.


    "What do you mean?" Mu Chen asked.


    Ling Mo was also looking around and replied: "My mental power can''t catch up with them, but there are more than two monsters just breaking into my mental power sensing range..."


    "Yes, there are at least five or more monsters here... They are looking for opportunities by our side." Shana said.


    Gu Shuangshuang covered his mouth: "What opportunity..."


    "Does this still need to be said... Of course it is a chance to eat us." Yu Shiran interrupted.


    "Let''s go upstairs quickly and don''t place orders." Ling Mo said.


    But as soon as they turned their heads, a group of dark shadows suddenly flew from not far away.


    A large group of attacks immediately smashed toward the group of dark shadows, and then when the thing fell to the ground, they discovered that this was actually the corpse that the monster had just held in their hands. And what was speechless was that they could see clearly at this time that it turned out to be the corpse of a fake "Ye Kai".


    As soon as he saw the corpse being beaten up like this, Gu Shuangshuang immediately supported the wall and retched. Ye Kai stared at the corpse and said with an ugly expression: "Do they count as the last notice? They didn''t eat these corpses because they wanted to eat, which is the main body?"


    Gu Shuangshuang had already been relieved under Xu Shuhan''s comfort, and couldn''t help covering his mouth after hearing this. Zhang Xincheng was about to say something, another group of black shadows smashed over, and then slid off the wall a little bit...


    "this is mine¡­¡­"


    "There is no time to say this..." Ling Mo suddenly said with a grim expression, "We are surrounded..."


    The first corpse successfully forced them to the middle of the corridor, and the second corpse temporarily distracted them. When they reacted, two monsters had appeared at each end of the corridor...


    When these monsters are no longer backlit, they can finally see what they look like at a glance. A layer of hard black hair on the skin, a long hairless tail, huge soles and sharp claws. But the most eye-catching thing is their half of the face... the upper part is a human, and the lower part has a mouth without lips and protruding fangs...


    "It''s disgusting... this is... the rat man?" Everyone''s eyes widened. Strictly speaking, this seems to be the real underground monster. It''s just that even Ling Mo and the others didn''t expect this, let alone that they had come to the ground long ago and were hidden here. The ones they encountered in the sewers were more like the results of various experiments carried out by the mother body. Rat people like this are more like aboriginal people underground...


    In any case, this is obviously not like a simple mutation or a phenomenon that can be explained by living underground... Ling Mo immediately thought of Li Yalin... This beautiful snake began to show some characteristics of snakes because it swallowed the mutant snake. Virus brood... and those mice have indeed begun to be affected by the virus...


    But it is obviously impossible for a creature like a mouse to condense any gel or a brood, and when you think about it, in the sewer with the largest number of rats, they did not encounter any of them...


    "vomit!"


    The rest of the people quickly thought of this, and all of them retched with ugly expressions. The three genuine female zombies, Shana, Li Yalin and Yu Shiran, looked calm, but after seeing the disgusting faces of the people around them, they looked at each other and raised their hands to cover their mouths.


    Iz--


    One of the rat people scratched the soles of their feet, and a fierce light showed through his red eyes. A wisp of saliva dripped down its fangs, followed by it, opened its mouth, and let out a low-pitched growl.


    "Be careful, they are about to attack..." Mu Chen immediately issued a warning.


    This kind of monster just looks very difficult to deal with, let alone four at the same time blocking them from the front and back... After the ratman finished roaring, it immediately rushed towards them, and it The speed... is amazing! At the same moment, the other three also rushed up...


    "Da da da!"


    Mu Chen pulled the trigger desperately, but his bullets had almost no effect on these monsters. That layer of black hair is like the best bulletproof vest, it can''t be penetrated at all. In close combat, only Shana''s attacks can play a role, and other people, let alone attack, can''t even approach them, they can only do their best to stop them with some harassment methods.


    "Captain, what to do, we are completely blocked..."


    Watching these huge humanoid mice at such a close distance trying to rush over and tear them apart, and the distance between the two sides is constantly shortening, from ten meters to five meters... Almost everyone¡¯s heartbeat stops in an instant, as if as long as In another second, they will be torn to pieces by these monsters.


    "Let me think about it..." Ling Mo said.


    Mental attack... doesn''t work. These monsters have only instincts, and their spiritual light group does not exist. This is probably where their shortcomings lie... They are powerful but they don''t have the potential to continue to evolve. Maybe this is one of the reasons why there are not many of them... But according to Lingmo, it may be because there are not enough rats.


    I just didn¡¯t expect these rat people to have no intelligence at all, and they would actually use this kind of trap...


    "Wow!"


    After being fanned to the ground by Shana''s scythe, a ratman crawled over on all fours. Its tail flicked forward, and the nearest Ling Mo was less than three meters away... As long as it was hit by its tail, Ling Mo would lose half his life even if he was not dead.


    "Ah!" Gu Shuangshuang already screamed.


    As soon as he watched the tail approach, a completely different picture suddenly appeared in front of Ling Mo''s eyes.


    The gray background, and the spiritual light clusters that have become brighter...


    Ye Kai and others... Shana and the others... Three small light groups representing the rat people far away from him, and one group closer to him. At this moment, Ling Mo noticed another larger light group. It''s at the corner of the corridor not far away...to be continued. . ()

 Chapter 530： How about tony

    The outside of the villa is gradually shrouded in darkness, and the small dinner in the villa has just begun. The dining table in the grand banquet hall is full of Chinese and Western dishes. The combination of meat and vegetables is extremely reasonable, but the people sitting around the oak dining table, They seldom focus on food, but talk more.


    "Elsa, I want to eat fruit salad."


    After the housekeeper nodded, Taylor turned her head and looked at Miss Lily who was sitting next to her in the baby chair. She stood up without hesitation, and went directly to the opposite Ryan. "I think we are sitting together. Suitable."


    "You will make Lily sad by doing this."


    Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Ryan swallowed the steak in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and said, "Honey, Lily is looking at you."


    Nicole and Kate Beckinsale on the opposite side were very happy, but Lily Mo Sheen, who was unreasonable, obviously took a fancy to Taylor and kept waving her little hand at her, but Miss Swift was really not very interested in children.


    "I don''t want to be a nanny." Tyler stuck his tongue out to the other side, and turned his eyes to the fruit salad that Elsa sent. "Lily likes crying so much, I feel so helpless when I hear the cry..."


    "Oh, it''s rare."


    Grabbing some salad from the little girl''s plate, the taste is really unique. Ryan sighed secretly after Nicole would enjoy life, and then said, "I felt the same as you now."


    "I don''t like to cry." Of course Tyler would not admit it.


    "At that time you were made of water." Ryan seemed to remember what happened back then. He even forgot the salad delivered to his mouth. After a few seconds of pause, it returned to normal. "I need to remind you. Ah, dear. I was clamoring to catch the robins and your hydrangea. As long as I get close to you, I will cry and show me..."


    "No, no. Absolutely not." Tyler''s fork poked hard at the fruit on the plate. It seems to be the abominable brother around him, "I haven''t raised a robin for a long time. The hydrangea in the garden will be given to you."


    "Then I''m not welcome." Ryan winked her eyes on purpose.


    The joke between the two attracted the attention of the other person. While Kate Beckinsale was taking care of her daughter, Nicole suddenly asked, "What are you talking about? Very happy?"


    "Nicole. Aren''t you going to China for the premiere?"


    As if afraid that Ryan would mention the embarrassment when he was a child, Taylor said first, "I want to go, too. I still remember going to the west lake a few years ago..."


    "My dear, I haven''t decided whether or not to accept their invitation."


    A babble came from nearby, and Nicole couldn''t help walking over and picking up her goddaughter. Kate Beckinsale obviously heard what she had just said. Curiously asked, "Is it the premiere of "Moulin Rouge"?"


    "Yes." Nicole nodded, and gently tapped Lily''s little nose with her finger, "Invitation from China''s China Film Group."


    "Actually. Last year." Kate Beckinsale took the baby bottle from the nanny and handed it to her daughter''s mouth. "The "Pearl Harbor" crew also received an invitation, but Stephen refused."


    "Kate, are there any plans for filming recently?"


    As long as he saw the English rose, Ryan was the first to think of the expressionless female vampire. Although the box office of "Underworld" is not very high, the investment is also small.


    "Let me come." Nicole took the bottle in her hand, and Kate Beckinsale said, "I am doing the post-dubbing of "Fate and Destiny". The company is still in contact with Universal Pictures and wants to help me get it. The heroine of that monster movie."


    "The one Stephen Sommers is preparing for?" Ryan squeezed his chin.


    "Right." Kate Beckinsale nodded, "Now it is definitely called "Van Helsing". It is said that Universal wants to film the sequel of Earl Dracula, which is a collection of monsters, but Director Sommers wants to film it into a magical fantasy. Adventure movies."


    "So the script hasn''t been determined yet?" Nicole put the full Lily back in the baby chair.


    "Earl Dracula, a monster hunter named Van Helsing, and a beautiful princess." Kate Beckinsale made a gesture that you understand, "These are the three characters that hold up the frame of the movie, the others It is said to be still writing."


    "Let''s do it." Nicole kissed the goddaughter on the forehead and sat back at the table. "Tomorrow I will greet Ron Mayer."


    "This is not in a hurry."


    The two sides have known each other for a long time, and Kate Beckinsale did not refuse, "It is said that the movie will not start until next year."


    Seeing the two women who were chatting with each other, Ryan didn¡¯t say much. It¡¯s enough for Nicole to come forward. Not to mention that the relationship with Universal has always been good. Jennifer Meyer still passed the position of Nicole¡¯s stylist. , Created his own fashion business.


    I sent away the mother and daughter of Beckinsale, it was late, Taylor called his mother and prepared to stay here for the night. The little girl at the time has also grown up, so I don¡¯t need to be specially taken care of by Ryan and Ni. But after saying good night, he walked directly into his room.


    I made a few phone calls and processed some emails in the study room downstairs. When I came to the bedroom on the second floor, Nicole had already taken a shower and was sitting in front of the vanity mirror in her pajamas, carefully taking care of the forty. Old-fashioned hairstyle from the 19''s.


    "I''m going to take a shower." Ryan walked into the bathroom.


    "Why do you suddenly care about Kate''s movies?"


    Nicole¡¯s question came from outside the door, and Ryan washed out the bubble and replied, ¡°I thought of a suitable subject, and I feel that the protagonist is very suitable for Kate.¡±


    "The right subject?" Nicole''s voice was curious.


    "The same type of vampire."


    The warm water rushed on her body, seeming to take away the tiredness of the day. Ryan shook her head to make herself more awake, and continued outside the door, "It''s just a female vampire, she will be the only protagonist."


    For Hollywood, the story of this series couldn''t be simpler. Looking back and letting the screenwriter team write it out, the important thing is the style after the film is made.


    Ryan couldn''t help but think of the director and one of the actors, and shook his head again. Perhaps only his family knew the chaotic situation, so why should he worry about others.


    Well, Lily Mo Xin is Nicole''s goddaughter. Strictly speaking, she can also be regarded as her goddaughter...


    "what are you doing?"


    The bathroom door was pushed open from the outside, and Nicole walked in, "Why is it so long."


    "Together?" Ryan pointed to the bathtub.


    He curled his lips. Nicole picked up the toothbrush beside her. No longer look here.


    After taking a thick bath towel, Ryan quickly wiped off the water droplets on his body. A few steps walked over and stood behind Nicole.


    Nicole was wearing a thin short skirt-style pajamas, bending over and standing in front of the washstand, indescribably tempting. Ryan took a step closer, unconsciously placing his hands on the roundness of the two petals, and then his whole body was attached to the curvy back.


    Flushing the foam in her mouth, Nicole turned her head, her light blue eyes filled with water droplets.


    Kissing **** the two red lips, Ryan moved his hands underneath, following the beautiful curve all the way up. Finally, I pressed it on the place where I didn''t wear the bust.


    "Do you want to be here?" Nicole asked out of breath after getting rid of Ryan''s mouth.


    "Don''t you think there is a great atmosphere here?"


    With that said, Ryan pressed her on the washstand, and Nicole coordinated to adjust to the most comfortable position.


    The next day it was just getting bright. Nicole got up and went to the bathroom. After a lot of nervousness, when she saw the display on the pregnancy test stick, she couldn''t help but sighed again in disappointment.


    For the past six months, every month at the right time, she would call the **** outside. After the two people turned upside down, they stayed inside every time, but until now there is no movement.


    After a long sigh, she left the bedroom after washing and went down to the second floor to prepare breakfast. She will continue to shoot today.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    "Come back, we want to take you to the door."


    Nicole, who plays Peggy Carter, shook the model airplane on the crane and shouted to Ryan, who was dressed as a standard Captain America, "It''s coming soon."


    "No." Ryan buckled the triangular shield, "I''m jumping here, you guys go home quickly, leave this ghost place, it''s not safe here!"


    "You can''t order me!" the lady agent said loudly, holding on to the door of the plane.


    "Of course I can." Ryan turned his head and glanced at her deeply, and said firmly, "Because I am Captain America!"


    After speaking, he pulled down his goggles, jumped directly, and landed on the green mat under the model airplane.


    At the same time, the voice of David Fincher yelling through also came.


    With the actor playing Howard Stark in place, more and more rival scenes between Ryan and Nicole were filmed. Although there were some minor problems at the beginning, the two quickly found a tacit understanding, and such a role played against them. It is not difficult to say.


    They graciously took Nicole from the airplane model, and they went to another part of the studio, which was set up as Howard Stark''s laboratory.


    "The seventy-seventh scene, the twenty-ninth scene, now begins!"


    Ryan picked up the unpainted round shield on the table, hung it on his hand and asked the female agent opposite, "What do you think?"


    Peggy Carter directly picked up the pistol next to him and pulled the trigger to the opposite side. The crisp ¡®gunfire¡¯ and the sound of bullets hitting the shield spread far.


    "Very good, can come in handy!"


    The female agent threw away the pistol and turned away, but her eyes were like sharp swords.


    "I said, man, don''t provoke women." Howard Stark walked over and said, looking at the distant back, "especially women who can use guns."


    Seeing the burning eyes on the opposite side, Howard Stark said again, "Captain, Peggy is not my type."


    "Then what kind of woman do you like?" Ryan handed him a piece of paper, "I have some ideas about the pattern."


    Nodding, Howard Stark put it away, "What I need is a son who can inherit my intelligence and career, not a long-term partner of the opposite sex."


    "Right, Steve." He called the captain who wanted to leave. "Can you name my future son? I think he will like his name from Captain America."


    "How is Tony?"


    "Tony? Tony? Stark..." ()

 Chapter 531： Why cant Hermione marry Harry

    Before the Oscars ceremony, filming "Captain America" ??became Ryan¡¯s top priority, and related publicity work was also underway. Every day, a large number of reporters gathered at the door of the Universal Studios, who wanted to hear exclusive news, and the crew would also from time to time. Release some news to maintain sufficient exposure of the film.


    After entering mid-March, Hugo Jackman and Hugo Weiwen entered the crew one after another. There were more and more fighting scenes and explosion scenes in the shooting, but Wolverine and Black Widow were guest appearances, and it only took less than a week. Time, the two scenes in the studio have also come to an end.


    As for the location part, it will be after the Oscars.


    The overall progress of the movie has been very smooth. David Fincher has rich experience. The actors headed by Ryan and Nicole can cope with the literary play easily. The difficult fight scenes have professional stunt doubles. Industrial Light and Magic also provides the film. With strong technical support for special effects...


    Apart from shooting, Ryan will not forget to pay attention to other aspects of work.


    Nearly three months after landing on the North American theaters, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" had a box office of nearly 360 million U.S. dollars, surpassing the first song of "The Lord of the Rings" in one fell swoop, and boarded the North American annual box office leaderboard last year. throne.


    In terms of overseas box office, the film has landed in major overseas markets such as Europe, Australia, Latin America and the Far East. Although it has not yet been offline in many regions, the overseas box office has reached nearly 450 million U.S. dollars.


    Even though the world¡¯s highest grossing movie last year was still more than US$900 million for the first part of "The Lord of the Rings", except for a few regions, the film basically announced the end of its screenings, while the overseas box office of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" is still There is a lot of potential to be tapped. According to the forecasts of several professional organizations in North America, it is almost an inevitable trend that the global box office will exceed $1 billion.


    The first part of "The Lord of the Rings" may be as good as "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" in terms of box office. The surrounding area is not a rival of equal magnitude.


    To be precise, the theme of the family fun, plus the various interesting animals, plants and props in it, all contributed to the big sales around the movie.


    Except for the popularity of the first month. Sales of various Harry Potter products declined in the next two months. However, in the past three months, except for the box office. The worldwide sales of various authorizations and related products are infinitely close to 3.5 billion U.S. dollars.


    Since the birth of the film, there has not been a film that can create such a terrifying commercial value, even the "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic" of the year could not do it.


    There is no doubt, except for "Jurassic Park", which continues to create value. Ryan has another long-term meal ticket with almost unlimited overdraft.


    And "Jurassic Park", even if it does not count the benefits of books, it is only two movies and peripheral products, and now it can still send Ryan a seven-figure share check every year.


    He has no doubt that even if one day hangs up, the beneficiary of the will will receive a lot of money every year.


    Well, this day is still far away. Only after one death did he know his fate, Ryan cherished his little fate more than anyone else.


    Since this time, in addition to the upcoming Oscars and the filming of "Captain America", another topic that the media is keen on. It was last year''s annual box office rankings in North America.


    The reason is simple. Jenkins Pictures and Ryan Manufacturing firmly occupy the top three positions.


    "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone", which has not yet been released, has a North American box office of 360 million US dollars, and it will definitely be the champion.


    He won the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" for US$355 million, which was second place.


    And "The Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution", released in the first half of the year, occupies the third place...


    Looking further down, it is still produced by Jenkins Pictures. Although "Man Hundred Percent" is only a little more than 200 million US dollars at the box office, this life''s "Shrek" and "Monster Electric Company" have been postponed and advanced respectively. 2" hit 911 with one head and became one of the victims of the disaster, so this movie, which replaced the male and female protagonists, rose to fourth place.


    In fact, "Mission Impossible 2", which is only more than one hundred thousand dollars less than "Man Hundred Percent", was also strictly produced by Jenkins Pictures. However, Ryan used it as a trading condition last year and transferred all the copyright to Pella. Mongolian Pictures.


    Although this kind of achievement proves the film law of''Ryan produces, it must be a fine product'', it is easy to cause jealousy and pressure from other film companies.


    However, Ryan is not so worried about this now.


    As a result, he became the actual owner of Disney, one of the veritable Hollywood giants.


    Secondly, he has always promoted the concept of sharing and win-win. All of these works have investments from first-tier producers such as Warner, Universal, Paramount, and Twentieth Century Fox. The strategy of equalizing interests has also made him a good fish in Hollywood.


    Besides, this year is only a special case, and this momentum will definitely not be able to continue in the future.


    How many people like you will hate you. This is a universal truth. Although there are definitely more people who like Ryan in North America, there are also many who do not like him or even hate him.


    Therefore, before the start of the Oscars, in the mouth of some media, he was connected with racial discrimination. The biggest evidence is the "Harry Potter" series.


    Mr. Gary Graham, who claimed to be a descendant of the Mayflower, suddenly published an article on his personal blog, which was then reprinted by many hidden anti-Semitic media.


    "See Ryan Jenkins'' racial and national views from Harry Potter books and movies!"


    This is the title of the article.


    "In the series of books, Hermione Granger did not get together with Harry Potter in the end. This is undoubtedly the biggest regret for fans. Although there are flaws in order to be perfect, Hermione did not marry Harry, but it is true. The reaction reflects Ryan''s hidden ideas.


    Why can''t Hermione marry Harry? After all, it''s very simple, because of the differences in nationality and ethnicity set in the work!


    In today''s world, although the ethnic component is ignored by countless people, it has always existed in the thinking of some people with ulterior motives.


    As we all know, there are many elements of different nationalities and cultures in "Harry Potter" movies and series of books. It is very important to understand the national composition of the protagonists, and it is also the prerequisite for Hermione''s marriage problem.


    The most basic question is, which ethnic group are Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Malfoy?


    The most basic answer is that they are all British.


    But the Kingdom of Great Britain is a multi-ethnic country. What kind of nation are they? "


    The article quoted a poster from "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone", which included the Gryffindor Golden Triangle, and Malfoy and others.


    "If you experience it carefully, you will find that in books and movies, hair color represents a lot of meaning, the most typical of which is Ron''s red hair and Malfoy''s platinum blonde hair.


    For those familiar with history, it is not difficult to distinguish these. The red hair is a symbol of the Celts represented by the Scottish region, while the platinum blonde is a typical European aristocratic lineage, or in other words, it is called Anglo-Saxon. Lineage, the former is the conqueror, and the latter is the conqueror. This can understand why Ron and Malfoy are naturally uncomfortable, because their blood is flowing with the genes of natural enemies!


    What about Harry Potter? Whether in the book or in the movie, Harry''s hair is similar to black. Why did Malfoy, a self-proclaimed noble blood, never discriminate against Harry on this point? The reason is simple, Harry''s black hair is also a symbol of noble blood.


    British civilization began in the Roman Empire. This is the consensus today. Although it is difficult to find the shadow of the ancient Roman Empire in Britain today, Harry¡¯s black hair is a symbol of his noble blood. He has the same color as Caesar. hair! Some people may refute this. Please think about the image of King Arthur that has been circulating. He is also black-haired and has Roman descent!


    Therefore, it is normal for Malfoy, who is a descendant of Anglo-Saxons, with platinum blonde hair, to look down on Ron, a descendant of Celtic, with red hair. But in front of Harry, who is descended from King Arthur, who is black-haired, he can no longer show off his noble blood. .


    This is also Ryan''s concept of artificial division of nations hidden in the book. Whether this concept is good or bad, and what kind of impact it will bring, presumably the kingdom of Great Britain, which has been splitting for a short period of time, should understand its harm.


    Let¡¯s talk about Hermione Granger. Her long brown hair is undoubtedly the most common among the British. If Harry and Malfoy represent aristocratic blood, then she is a standard civilian class, and Ryan¡¯s own belt The term "Muggle", which has serious discriminatory significance, is undoubtedly created specifically for her.


    So, the problem is very simple With the brown hair of the civilian logo, Hermione is facing the noble blood Harry. According to the setting and description of the racial problem in the book, she is impossible. Come together with Harry, and Ron has become an inevitable choice.


    We don''t understand why such a serious issue of race is hidden in a series of works that have a huge impact on young people.


    Today, we are all chanting freedom and equality, and in this free country, one of the most outstanding cultural representatives has such a serious racial concept!


    Or is it that Ryan Jenkins''s thoughts are inherently ingrained in racial discrimination?


    The "Harry Potter" series is widely circulated among teenagers and has a huge influence, but does the concept of race and so on reflected in it really adapt to our minors? It will lead America''s future astray!


    Words such as''Muggle and Mudblood'' with racial discrimination can be seen everywhere in books and in movies. This should arouse the attention of the whole society, and our children should not read racial discrimination and other concepts. When reading materials grow up, the National Federation of Teachers and Parents should come forward and call for the whole society to unite and boycott the release of the "Harry Potter" series of books and movies! )

 Chapter 532： 1 clown only

    Many European and American literary works, especially simple and easy-to-understand children¡¯s works, use hair color to distinguish races. As for whether there is any issue of racial discrimination, since the past and present series can be unanimously recognized by the mainstream society, that suffices to explain All over. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    What''s more, before attacking others, you must first see if the bottom of your **** is clean enough.


    A group of media that is often arrogant and rude and has made discriminatory scandals suddenly broke the news that others are racist. How many people would believe it?


    Besides, the target itself has great influence in the media industry, and the mainstream media in North America are mostly in the hands of Jewish people.


    The most important thing is that the other party attacked the "Harry Potter" series, a series of works that can bring huge benefits to many interest groups.


    Ryan didn''t even need to personally fight back, and many influential media jumped out.


    The editor-in-chief of the "Los Angeles Times" wrote an article personally, saying that Gary Graham "has a sinister heart, and he does not hesitate to evaluate the best things in the world with the worst mentality"!


    The New York Times, which is a position of liberal speech, also gave a rebuttal on an important page, "If according to Gary Graham''s standards, there must be no books or movies suitable for human reading in this world."


    Time Warner Group reacted most fiercely. The new issue of "Time" simply used the poster of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone", calling it "epoch-making works, and the series of books are the most suitable reading materials for teenagers in the contemporary era." ''!


    The TV station¡¯s highest-rated talk show specifically invited two well-known current affairs critics to analyze the matter together with the host, and show the past actions of Gary Granham to the audience one by one. , This orthodox descendant of the self-proclaimed Anglo-Saxon, has had a lot of radical remarks on ethnic issues before. So the show finally came to the conclusion that ¡®Gary Granham is the real racist¡¯.


    They even encouraged those who had been criticized in the past to take up legal weapons to fight back against the racist Gary Graham and defend their rights.


    Subsequently. From several large law firms in California, including Wilson Law Firm. Expressed willingness to provide them with legal aid.


    For a time, the mainstream media suddenly changed the direction of the wind. Attacking Gary Graham instead of the Oscars has become the hottest topic.


    "It''s very simple. There are too many people or companies that can profit from the huge industrial chain of Harry Potter."


    Holding Charlize in one hand and two rackets in the other, Ryan walked toward the manor''s tennis court. "Mattel, Lego, Hasbro, Disney, Coca-Cola, Time Warner, and News Corp., which has newly acquired the "Alien" publishing house, if the Harry Potter series follow the current trend, it will be able to bring them in the future. How much income do you get?"


    He opened the floral door of the tennis court and walked in first and sat at the table under the parasol. Charlize at the back put the tea set and fruit basket on it. Sat beside Ryan.


    "On the surface, these are just companies." Ryan poured black tea for himself and Charlize, and continued, "Actually. Behind them, like us, there are groups with closely linked interest chains..."


    "If the interests of these people are moved, they will naturally jump out to speak for you." Charlize sorted the fruits he had brought, picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into Ryan''s mouth, "No wonder you reselled so many authorizations. "


    "My dear, the size of this industrial chain is beyond our imagination."


    Shaking her hand, Ryan picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and praised, "Your tea making skills are getting better and better."


    "You''re welcome." Charlize gave a sunny smile, and Ryan continued on the topic just now, "We won Disney, it will definitely make many people envy and jealous, and money, this thing, will never be able to make money. , The world¡¯s richest man or let Bill Gates sit down, we surrender part of the benefits, but we can bring more invisible benefits to ourselves."


    Charlize Theron is not a fledgling newcomer. More than ten years of hard work has made her understand enough that these seemingly simple, but actually involve all aspects of transactions.


    "This is a country that belongs to capital, and sharing benefits is an eternal theme."


    Speaking of this, Ryan couldn''t help but think of classmate Li. This is indeed ambitious and has fought against Wall Street for so long. Unfortunately, in the end he still has to share the benefits of Microsoft with others. "Those who eat alone will be eliminated by this society."


    In fact, this is very obvious in Hollywood. An ordinary director may not care about making a movie. When he grows up to the level of Spielberg or James Cameron and wants to make a large-scale commercial film, he must accept the big picture. Investment in studios or other capital.


    Now, DreamWorks, which was in trouble earlier than the previous life, is undoubtedly the best negative teaching material.


    Speaking of, after he took control of Walt Disney, DreamWorks can be regarded as his enemy. This is the inevitability of Hollywood''s internal rules.


    The Big Three are ambitious and want to become the new first-line movie giants, but the existing giants absolutely do not allow a new movie giant to be born. The Hollywood cake has long been divided up, unless DreamWorks can acquire and annex the seven big ones. One of the companies.


    Of course, people who actually control first-line companies, including Ryan, Ron Meyer, and Shirley Lansing, have good personal relationships with Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg, but in In this regard, no matter what friendships and conflicts the front-line film companies have, they will remain consistent.


    This kind of tacit understanding has long been formed, and those who want to break can only follow the old path of DreamWorks.


    Of course, DreamWorks also has a life-saving trick, that is, when it is almost impossible to sustain it, Spielberg will jump out to produce a work, continue to sustain it with the funds returned, and then it will be a cycle until it can¡¯t continue. That day.


    "Eating alone?" Charlize Theron''s eyes couldn''t help looking to the east, and he said, "Are you suggesting something?"


    "Hey, my dear, you think too much." Ryan took her beautiful and delicate face, turned it back gently, and pressed a mark on her soft and warm red lips, "I am very serious about communicating with you. With regard to work, Charlie, didn¡¯t you say you want to help me in the future?"


    "Okay." Charlize shrugged gracefully, broke free of Ryan''s hands, kissed him back, and asked, "What about Gary Graham? It seems that this is not the first time he attacked you?"


    "It''s just a clown." Ryan waved his hand casually. "Someone will take care of it."


    "You didn''t find the hacker?" Charlize couldn''t help thinking of the somewhat sad experience.


    "I have never liked using this method, you know." Ryan drank the black tea in the cup and picked up the silver jug ??to fill himself and Charlize. "Although there are such good hands in Pixar, it is definitely not our of."


    That Gary Graham was unlucky enough to say that the article was posted on the blog for a few days. Not only was the blog hacked by a hacker who claimed to be a hard-core Harry Potter fan, the other party also hacked his bank and insurance accounts. For Americans who like to pay by credit card, the lack of these is simply life worse than death.


    "Your supporter group is really strong." Charlize couldn''t help but curl his lips. This kind of thing was either done by boring hackers or by Ryan''s supporters. "It spreads across all walks of life."


    "Don''t forget it?" She asked again, after all, no one wants to see the beloved being wronged.


    "Attorney Wilson Jr. has mailed a lawyer''s letter." Ryan picked up the tennis racket, slapped the yellow tennis ball, and walked toward the court. "This defamation lawsuit will last a long time."


    Very vulgar way, but for the rich, it is one of the best methods to use.


    Maybe there is no good way to take the anti-Semitic forces behind the opponent, but the clown on the table will definitely pay the price.


    Tightening the laces, Charlize walked to the opposite side of Ryan and took out the tennis ball from the waterproof box beside him, "Honey, this is my serve."


    Then, she stood up long and put on a graceful serve posture. The yellow tennis ball was thrown high, and when it fell to a suitable height, she swung the racket vigorously.


    For Ryan, this kind of serve was obviously weak and weak. With a random backhand swing, the ball flew back obediently. He didn''t pursue the point and angle.


    It is a pity that Charlize''s tennis skills are several levels worse than basketball. She took a broken step and just reached the ball''s landing point, the tennis ball had already bounced and landed behind.


    "Damn it!" She deliberately looked at the sky, as if the sun disturbed her vision.


    "Hey, Charlie." Ryan buckled his feet, and made a positive and negative swing. "Continue!"


    "It''s okay to continue." Charlize turned around to pick up the ball and made a conditional offer, "You will play basketball with me later."


    "Billiards, table tennis, football, swimming..." Ryan knocked off his tennis shoes with a racket. "Aren''t these okay?"


    Charlize picked up the ball and turned to look at him. At this moment, Lisa came to the side of the court, "Ryan, the people from Dior sent the dress over."


    "It seems that we can only get here today." The tennis ball thrown by Charlize slipped a wonderful parabola and fell accurately into the waterproof box. "Let''s try on the dress."


    It was the Oscars ceremony soon, and Ryan also knew the importance of dresses for female stars, and simply tidied up, took the racket in Charlize''s hand, and walked towards the villa together.


    "You have the same dark dress every year, don''t you feel boring?" Charlize remembered Ryan''s custom-made dress.


    "Men, of course, should focus on stability."


    Ryan handed the tea set and the fruit basket to Lisa, speeded up her feet a bit, and caught up with Charlize, "The red carpet belongs to the world of female stars."


    "You are sure not to walk the red carpet with me." Charlize seemed a little unwilling.


    Raising her hand gently, Ryan said helplessly, "I will enter the Kodak Theater alone and wait for you in the hall." ()

 Chapter 533： Alone

    After decades of wandering trips in Los Angeles, the Oscars ceremony has finally returned to regional Hollywood. The newly completed Kodak Theater is located at the junction of Highland Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard, adjacent to the Hollywood Chinese Theater, which is the 70th. The venue for the four Oscars. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    The return of Oscars to Hollywood, coupled with the terrorist attacks a few months ago, made this awards ceremony particularly eye-catching. In particular, many media were worried beforehand that the awards ceremony would become a new target of terrorist attacks.


    In order to ensure the smooth progress of the award ceremony, the Film Academy not only limited the scale of the red carpet, but also hired several professional security companies to provide security services.


    In addition, the Los Angeles County Police Department has also deployed a large number of police forces near the Kodak Theater, and there are even three swat teams on standby around to provide counter-terrorism support at any time.


    However, these have not affected the Hollywood stars to show their grace on the red carpet, especially the female stars. In addition to the beautiful faces and **** figures, the luxurious dresses and expensive jewelry are also tools for contending with each other.


    Because of the greeting in advance, Ryan walked on the red carpet earlier.


    He just beckoned to both sides, and passed the long red carpet as soon as possible. Instead of entering the interview area with a special stage, he entered the Kodak Theater directly.


    Saying hello to people casually, Ryan found a place that was a little quieter and could clearly see the entrance, and began to wait. Many people who entered the theater chose to come over to greet him, and some of them went straight into the theater afterwards. In the main hall, some gathered together and talked in a low voice.


    The Oscars ceremony is a place where Hollywood celebrities gather, and it is also a good place to socialize and expand contacts.


    "Ryan..."


    Spielberg came over, and after shook hands with him, he habitually lifted his eyes. "Who are you waiting for?"


    "I don''t know who I''m waiting for." Ryan waved his hand, obviously not wanting to continue the topic, "What''s the matter, Stephen?"


    If it is because of DreamWorks, find it. Ryan can only say that he can''t help. Every circle has rules inside each circle.


    Steven Spielberg obviously understands this, and he didn''t mention this topic at all. He said directly, "I want to invite you to appear in my new movie."


    "New movie?" Ryan was a little curious, the other party''s "Minority Report" has not been released yet.


    Speaking of it, the world is quite interesting. Ryan took Leonardo''s "Cat and Mouse Game", but Spielberg still asked him to collaborate on a movie, which is the role of Tom Cruise in the previous life in "Minority Report".


    "Yes, it''s currently in preparation, and the filming will start next year at the earliest." Spielberg and other people walking by shook hands with Ryan and continued, "Subjects adapted from real events."


    "Oh?" Ryan couldn''t help but recall. "Can you tell me briefly?"


    "The Munich incident in 1972..." Spielberg said briefly after seeing Ryan nodding his head slightly, "I plan to adapt a movie based on this tragedy. I have already found someone to write the script..."


    "Let''s do it. Stephen." Ryan had already seen Nicole walking by holding Naomi Watts. "Give me a copy after the script is completed. How can we discuss it then? You know, my job and schedule. The arrangement is a bit tight."


    "Okay." Spielberg nodded, waved to Nicole, and walked into the main hall of the theater.


    Nicole smiled and nodded to the people greeted nearby, and walked up to Ryan openly, "It looks like you are very leisurely."


    "My dear, you''re so beautiful." Ryan didn''t pick her up at all, and used a tried-and-tested trick to say to Naomi Watts who was next to Nicole, "You are also amazing, too. Nami...hey, you are competitors, how can you go together."


    "I haven''t said thank you yet, Ryan." Naomi Watts is a sensible person. It''s not so much that "Mulholland" has brought him the best actress nomination, it is better to say that it is the two around him. The operation of the individual behind.


    "We are friends, aren''t we?" Nicole gave her a slight tug.


    There must be a corresponding return for the effort. Of course, Ryan will not forget those friends who still support him and Nicole when faced with choices.


    "Don''t you go in together?" Nicole pulled down the pink evening dress.


    "I''ll wait a while." Ryan looked at Nicole carefully again, "You are so beautiful."


    Nicole curled her lips and took Naomi Watts and walked straight away.


    Frankly speaking, Nicole is now a veritable queen of the red carpet. Tonight''s Chanel pink sling evening dress not only makes her look brighter, but also adds a touch of gentleness to the flounce design of the skirt.


    Similarly, Charlize Theron, who is highly vocal for awards, is also one of the highlights of the red carpet tonight. She chose Dior¡¯s silver-gray evening dress. The fishtail design set off the whole person''s graceful and beautiful, faintly possessed The aura of the red carpet queen.


    Charlize did not come directly, but found his mother first.


    When these two equally tall blonde women walked in front of him, Ryan said hello very politely, "Hello, Mrs. Jelda."


    "Hello." The other party just nodded, whispered in Charlize''s ear, and walked into the theater hall first.


    "Don''t mind, Ryan." Charlize didn''t seem to know what to say. "Mom just..."


    "I understand, dear." Ryan shook her hand vigorously, ignoring the occasional glances around him, and then changed the subject, "Have you thought about your acceptance speech?"


    "It may not be me who walked on the stage." Charlize looked at the entrance of the theater, and several black movie stars walked in one after another. "You seem to have forgotten the recent media attacks on me."


    "Don''t worry, those will not have too much adverse effect on you." Ryan comforted in a low voice.


    Today''s Oscar public relations, the bottom line is getting lower and lower, and it has gradually become the norm to criticize opponents. During the time when the college mailed votes, some tabloids once again revealed the sadness and hype of Charlize''s teenage years.


    Among them, there are many remarks that she has been addicted to alcohol and drugs for a long time after her father''s death.


    Some people even clamored on the Internet, claiming that she had perjured her father''s death in order to exonerate her mother...


    Of course, the remarks in these tabloids will not affect the judges'' views too much.


    "Together?" Charlize''s hand was naturally placed in his arm, and Ryan could only make an apologetic gesture, "I''d better wait a while before going in."


    "Okay, I''ll go in first." Charlize sighed softly, waved his hand and left.


    Several black movie stars passing by came to say hello one after another. Ryan also smiled and faced each other, but in his heart he could only say sorry. The number of movie queens was too limited. If others took it, what would he take?


    In fact, they are really upset when they win awards. Whether it is professionals or media comments, the popularity of the best actor and actress has nothing to do with skin color.


    Russell Crowe and Charlize Theron are the hottest candidates for the actresses and queens that most people look forward to.


    Especially Charlize, before the Oscars, swept the best actresses in various film awards during the awards season with a gust of wind.


    Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress, Central Ohio Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress, Chicago Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress, Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress, Golden Globe Award for Best Actress Actress in a drama film, Best Actress in the Spirit Award, Best Actress in the Las Vegas Film Critics Association Award, Best Actress in the Screen Actors Guild Award...


    These are all included in the South African American diamonds, far more ferocious than Ryan''s momentum last year.


    Since walking on the red carpet alone, it¡¯s the best choice to enter the theater¡¯s main hall alone. Ryan first went to the crew of "Moulin Rouge" to say hello, and then came to the crew of "The Devil''s Head", and did not get the best Director-nominated Patrick Jenkins whispered a few words before he came to his seat in the cast of "The Lord of the Rings".


    In fact, in the eyes of many media, Charlize is able to perform Irene Vonos so perfectly, her nightmarish memory has played a vital role, even her former friends in South Africa also broke the news to the media, "If Without going through the purgatory torture, she couldn''t play a murderous madness like this.''


    Although these words may not be unreasonable, Charlize has always grasped the degree very well, and has not allowed the characters in the movie to affect her in reality.


    As for the influence of the past, it is almost inevitable.


    In front of others, Charlize always behaves decently and courteously, but only Ryan knows that all she has in her heart is unruly.


    For example, her desperate pursuit, such as the former alcoholism mentioned in the media...


    Ryan heard Keanu Reeves mentioned that Charlize, who had just become famous after UU reading www.uuk¨¡nshu.com, had an astonishing amount of alcohol and was able to pour everyone in his Sirius band down on the ground.


    Of course, as the two got together, Charlize also threw the bad habits behind her head, and she knew what kind of identity she should do what kind of things.


    "Hi, Peter..."


    Sitting next to Ryan were Peter Jackson and his wife. Ryan hugged them lightly. "Remember what I said, Peter? Now you are also nominated for an Oscar."


    "That''s just a nomination." Although the big fat man said so, he smiled very brightly, "It''s definitely impossible to win an award."


    After talking a few words with familiar people around, Ryan looked towards the stage, the lights and music gradually sounded, and the award ceremony was about to kick off.


    The person who gave the opening speech this year was not the new chairman of the college, but Tom Hanks. After Big Tom¡¯s tribute to the montage, Ubi Gordon, the host, gave it to him. A pleasant surprise for everyone. ()

 Chapter 534： Ownership of the award

    At last year¡¯s awards ceremony, Steve Martin¡¯s sentence ¡°we have slept with too many people¡± caused a lot of trouble. The film academy decisively abandoned him, and Ubi Gordon Castle returned to the Oscar hosting stage. It seemed that To restart the infinite reincarnation mode of Ubi? Gordon Fort Gabriel Christo.


    When Laura Zekins, the director of this gala, talked about the choice of the host in the media, he praised "Wobi has enough warmth, humor, humanity and social conscience. I think these qualities are essential for this year''s gala." Yes, I look forward to working with Ubi to present a night that is both entertaining and meaningful''.


    And the appearance ceremony of Ubi Gordon Castle also played a surprisingly enough role.


    "Please invite the host of the 74th Oscars, Oscar winner Ubi Gordon!"


    After the speech was delayed, the stage was still empty, and the voice of Ubi Gordon Castle suddenly came from the dome of the Kodak Theater.


    "Come after me, boys! Come after me, young man..."


    The sound is really not beautiful, it feels like Sanchi is talking about how to make a lion sandwich with Simba.


    Then, Nicole''s most stunning scene in "Moulin Rouge" was reproduced in the Kodak Theater, where Ubi Gordon fell from the sky wearing a gorgeous feather costume on a swing.


    However, if Nicole wears like a phoenix wings, then Fort Gordon is like a turkey costume.


    The big screen shot also switched to Nicole''s body in real time. Although she smiled brilliantly on the surface, Ryan saw something unnatural in it.


    This is normal, no woman wants others to imitate one of her most beautiful images, let alone the weird way of Ubi? Gordon Fort.


    After kissing Russell Crowe, Ubi Gordon, who walked off the swing, stood on the stage and started a routine joke. Compared to Steve Martin, her joke was more Close to Xia San Lu, but never touch the sensitive areas of Hollywood.


    "Oscar is 74 years old. In Hollywood, there has never been a person stronger than Oscar. The 74-year-old Oscar can hold on for more than three hours even if he doesn''t take Viagra!"


    After mourning for 9/11, Ubi Gordon Fort¡¯s joke became serious, ¡°The past year has been an incredible year. We were all hacked so miserably. Some people¡¯s bank and insurance accounts were hacked, even Eating has become a problem, and even the Oscar nominees have all become blacks."


    "This kind of negative activity should stop. I received an email today. After opening it carefully, it turned out that Harry Potter turned into a racist and was expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. ..."


    The camera turned to Ryan''s side. He laughed like everyone else. This is another way for the academy to rectify the names of him and the little wizard.


    "Speaking of swings, before I was lifted by them, I asked the director if there were any safety measures? He said yes, Billy Christo was waiting in the backstage, ready to play."


    After Ubi Gordon Castle stepped down, Benicio del Toro stepped onto the stage as an award-giving guest and awarded the best supporting actress. This award has nothing to do with Ryan. The winner is "Beautiful Jennifer Connelly of "Mind".


    Her choice at the Oscars is extremely clever. Even if her role is to be nominated for Best Actress in the Oscars, it is not too difficult to be nominated, but in the face of several strong competitors, she chose the best Supporting actress, and successfully took away this little golden man.


    This trick is like pretending to be ugly. It is a common trick used by Hollywood movie stars. Using the leading role to win supporting role awards will undoubtedly be more successful.


    Similarly, some people will do the opposite, such as Anthony Hopkins. His playing time in "The Silent Lambs" can be regarded as a supporting role at most, but he successfully won the best actor, or it is recognized. The kind that deserves its name.


    When Will Smith, with a pair of charming ears, stepped onto the stage, the best edited figurine fell on the head of "Black Hawk Down". This film is a bad time, despite its overwhelming reputation and the box office. But it is far from reaching expectations.


    The influence of the social environment on the film is particularly obvious in it.


    In addition, Ryan remembers that there was a so-called masterpiece called editing in the previous Oscars, but unfortunately it did not appear in this life. There is no news about the director who was born as a movie theater projectionist, and it is likely to disappear completely in this life.


    Jenkins Pictures has also ushered in the first statuette tonight. Is there anyone more suitable to win the best makeup award than "The Lord of the Rings"? Think of those strong orcs who are fierce and fierce.


    Ryan couldn''t help thinking of the stuntman who played the Angmar Witch King and the leader of the strong orc. The other party was killed by him more than a hundred times during the filming, setting a Guinness World Record.


    And the best costume award is no more suspense, the gorgeous mess "Moulin Rouge" unsurprisingly defeated all opponents and won the first figurine tonight.


    The appearance of Woody Allen can be regarded as a big surprise tonight. Regardless of his personality and reputation, it is well known that he does not participate in various awards ceremonies. Now, as a representative of New York City, he is standing at the Oscars. On the stage, thanks to Hollywood for giving New York all-out help after 9/11.


    No matter how intoxicated the circle is, it has natural acumen in terms of reaction speed and keeping up with the mainstream.


    In terms of technical awards, "The Lord of the Rings" has a huge advantage, successively taking the best photography, best visual effects, best original soundtrack and other golden figures off the stage, and it was full of limelight for a time.


    However, both Ryan and Peter Jackson know that the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" can only run rampant on the technology awards, and the heavyweight awards will not be considered by the academy until the end of the trilogy.


    The best supporting actor behind undoubtedly confirms this point.


    "Ethan Hawke "Training Day", Ben Kingsley "Sexy Beast", Ian McLean "The Lord of the Rings", Jim Brod Bent "The Long Road Is Ending..."


    Guy Harden pronounced a relatively unfamiliar name, "Jim Browder Bent, "The Long Road Is Ending."


    This veteran from the UK won the best supporting actor.


    And Ian McLean, who has won countless praises with Gandalf, once again hates Oscars. In addition to the natural disadvantages of movie genres and group dramas, the academy of this era will not let heavyweight awards fall on homosexuals.


    Samuel Jackson, who took the stage next, slightly aroused Ryan''s interest. This veteran black actor has negotiated terms with Marvel, signed a long-term contract, and will appear in the next Marvel series. Important role.


    When Jennifer Lopez stepped onto the stage, there was an unobvious voice from below. How many times is the Latin Queen as the guest of award for best original song?


    According to Ryan''s memory, this is at least the third time in a row. No wonder the guests and the audience are talking about it. Such a situation is extremely rare in the Oscars. It is hard not to remind people of private transactions...


    The famous Irish actress Enya took back the figurine for the crew of "The Lord of the Rings".


    At this point in the awards ceremony, "The Lord of the Rings" is undoubtedly the biggest winner. The only pity is that it won nothing in the heavyweight awards. Even the best adapted screenplay was lost to DreamWorks'' "Beautiful Mind".


    In fact, most people know that the main theme of this awards ceremony is still the competition between DreamWorks and Jenkins Pictures.


    When John Williams directed the band to play those classic film soundtracks in Hollywood history, the party reached the first event tonight, "The Sound of Music", "General Patton", "Star Wars", and "et Aliens". Familiar music such as "Titanic" is played one after another. The organizing committee seems to want to use this method, together with the Kodak Theater, to create a new era of Oscars.


    It''s a pity that only Ryan knows that the companies whose names are connected to this theater seem to have ended badly.


    There is still some time before the awarding of the four major awards. After Ryan said sorry to the person next to him, he walked to the bathroom. Compared with the previous two sessions, the time of this session was like what Ubi Gordon said. , It''s a bit too strong.


    If the time is too long, it will definitely affect the ratings.


    Thinking of this, Ryan returned to the theater, and the legendary actress Barbara Streisand was presenting Robert Rayford with an Oscar for life.


    Then, it was time for feminists to cheer. Under the strong appeal of these people, this year''s Oscars rarely placed the best actress behind the best actor.


    But this does not help to improve the situation and status of Hollywood female stars.


    As we all know, this is a circle full of patriarchal colors. The shelf life of female movie stars is usually only about 30 years old. Major film companies are always developing fresher and younger and beautiful bodies, while male actors are still in their forties. It is popular, and even the preservation period can continue for more than ten years.


    Of course, if you reach the level of Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman, ordinary Hollywood rules no longer apply.


    Julia Roberts stood on the stage, showing her iconic smile to the camera and the audience. Compared to last year, she was too calm.


    "Let''s see who is nominated for the best actor..."


    She cooperated with the big screen and started the introduction, "Tom Wilkinson "The Edge of Accident", Russell Crowe "The Beautiful Mind", Sean Penn "I Am Sam", Denzel Washington "Training Day", Will Smith "Boxing King Ali""


    Listening to the introduction of the Big Mouth Beauty, Ryan''s energy gradually concentrated. Whether Charlize can win the best actress, we can see some clues from the attribution of this award. rs()

 Chapter 535： Drop the curtain

    "Is this true? I didn''t dream, did I? Look at what a wonderful thing God has done."


    Lifting the golden man vigorously, Ryan began the indispensable testimony of the winners, "First of all thank the college, I did not wait until the day when my hair was gray..."


    This kind joke immediately brought bursts of laughter and applause. Many people knew that if it were not for the age barrier, perhaps he should have got this little golden man a few years ago.


    "Thank you for the three people I met in my life. You are the best and the best." "Fiction" "Fiction chapters are updated fastest


    The testimony is too long and has always been unpleasant. After looking at Charlize who was also staring at him, Ryan speeded up his speech, "I want to thank too many people. Rather than thank some of them in public, it¡¯s better. Let me thank each of them in private!"


    "I want to thank everyone who contributed to this film, whether they contributed a piece of paper, a painting, a dance, a prop, a comedy or a piece of music, I want to thank them, every People who contributed to this film have shared our experience!"


    Finally, Ryan said in a very serious tone, "If there were no movies, I think this world would be an inhabitable wasteland."


    "thank you all!"


    After speaking, he walked off the stage.


    In fact, before the start of the Oscars, Ryan prepared George and Lisa, as long as they can win the prize, they will mail a souvenir to everyone who has participated in "Gladiator".


    When he returned, he gave another high-five to the person who took the initiative to reach out, and Ryan sat back in his seat.


    "A great testimonial." Charlize gave another hug.


    "From now on..." Letting go of the South African Diamond, Ryan joked in a low voice, "Charlie, you should consider what to say next year."


    "It''s not the last moment." Charlize took out what Ryan often said, "No one will happen."


    Because of the absence of Sam Mendes, the bad boy Sean Penn became the guest of honor for best director, a guy who doesn''t always pay attention to things. Without any extra words, I read the nomination list directly.


    "Ridley Scott "Gladiator", Ang Lee "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Stephen Dadley "Billy Elliott", Stephen Soderbergh "Drug Network" and "Women''s War" ."


    The focus of everyone¡¯s attention fell on Ridley Scott and Steven Soderbergh. The other two directors were not competitive, regardless of their qualifications or other conditions, even though Oscars would occasionally be upset. The best director rarely appears.


    "Steven Soderbergh, "Drug Network"!"


    Ridley Scott already has an Oscar for best director. And Steven Soderbergh is a double nomination, the choice of the academy is not unexpected.


    So far, "Drug Network" has won four of the five nominations, and "Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have also won four statuettes. The meaning of this year''s Oscars is particularly obvious.


    According to the tradition of Oscars, the film that won the best director often wins the best film. In terms of the attribution of the last award, "Drug Network" has the upper hand.


    After Steve Martin made a few jokes about Catherine Zeta Jones. The British actress¡¯s husband and veteran actress Michael Douglas stood on the stage for the best film awards.


    "Hollywood produces a large number of excellent films every year. Last year, there were also a lot of films with a good reputation and a double harvest at the box office. What is the box office of "Drug Network"? 100 million US dollars? And "Gladiator." Still telling me, "God, the North American box office of this movie is almost 300 million U.S. dollars. Why does Ryan Jenkins'' movies always sell well?"


    A few more words about other nominated films. Michael Douglas said, "Let''s take a look at these excellent films and their producers, "Gladiator" Ryan Jenkins, Ridley Scott. "Drug Network" Mike Neville, Edward Swick, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" meritorious service? Xu and Ann Lee, "Chocolate" Maher Cooper..."


    Ryan gave Charlize the best actor, ready to take the stage again.


    "The final award-winning film is... "Gladiator", congratulations to Jenkins Pictures, congratulations to Ryan, congratulations to Ridley!"


    "Yes!"


    Many people in the crew shook their fists heavily, and in a voice of congratulations, Ryan and Ridley Scott walked onto the stage together.


    After receiving the Golden Man handed by Michael Douglas, Ryan took the initiative to step aside, and the limelight that should have come out was already out. Although the best picture was awarded to the producer, the present moment should belong to Ridley Si. Cott.


    Having been a first-line director for more than two decades, he himself won the best director, and the old-fashioned Ridley Scott just said a few clich¨¦s, followed Ryan and walked off the stage together.


    "Wow, another one."


    After the congratulations were over, Charlize leaned in, and Ryan handed the Golden Man to her, "My dear, this is for money."


    This is not a joke. According to the Oscar-related selection rules, the winner of an award can only receive one golden trophy. If two people win the same prize, they should be awarded one golden trophy for each of them. , And the extra trophies are charged at the original price.


    Of course, the value of Xiao Jin Ren itself is not high, and the production cost is only three hundred and fifty dollars.


    This year¡¯s Oscar has also fallen off the curtain. Although "Gladiator" has only received five of the twelve nominations, it has included the heavyweight best picture and best actor in the bag, especially Ryan. He finally became the youngest Oscar actor. Facts have proved that on the basis of ensuring the quality of the film, a series of public relations are extremely effective.


    Similarly, tonight is also the biggest victory for a Chinese-language movie at the Oscars. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won four statuettes. No matter what the core idea of ??this movie is, with the aura of the best foreign language film of the Oscar, you can go to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Made money.


    This film with a total cost of more than 30 million U.S. dollars has already earned more than 100 million U.S. dollars in box office in North America, but who will let the opportunity to make more money in vain?


    Ryan is not just trying to get a few golden figures for this Chinese-language movie with such a time-consuming public relations.


    After the routine group photo, Ryan and others appeared on time at the "Vanity Fair" celebration party at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel in accordance with the prior agreement. Even if he is not the best actor, he is also one of the central points of the party. , Not to mention the addition of a halo this time.


    Various congratulatory voices sounded continuously from the moment Ryan stepped into the banquet hall, even if Charlize Theron always held his arm, there are still some female stars taking advantage of the opportunity to shake hands, writing them one by one. The note of the phone number was handed over.


    "If you want to go, just treat me as if I don''t exist."


    Ryan naturally wouldn¡¯t take the words of South African Diamonds¡¯ mouths seriously. He raised his glass to Johnny Depp in front of him and drank soda before saying, ¡°Don¡¯t forget, my dear, tonight. It¡¯s a moment for both of us."


    "Hey, Harvey."


    When the big fat man passed by, Ryan called to him and touched the cup, "Congratulations on our victory!"


    The two laughed tacitly, and Harvey Weinstein mentioned something else, "Sony Records wants to sign Taylor."


    "They found you as a lobbyist?" Ryan thought for a moment. "Let''s wait for Alison to make his own decisions when he grows up."


    Vanity Fair parties in recent years have become more and more confusing. Ryan didn''t intend to stay here any longer. After greeting a few familiar people, he found Tina Brown and prepared to leave.


    "Charlie..." Just when they were separated, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair suddenly turned to Ryan, "Are you interested in being on the cover of Vanity Fair?"


    "This..." Charlize hesitated for a moment, showing a self-deprecating smile, and then pointed to a slightly plump face, "My current image..."


    "Then we wait for you to finish shooting the new movie."


    Tina Brown is not a fool. With Charlize Theron''s frequent appearances on the red carpet with Ryan, it will definitely become the focus of quite a few people.


    Even if it is not a popular Hollywood actress, standing by Ryan''s side, she has become the most popular female star.


    As Ryan thought, this party was full of the taste of trading, and there were many budding people who tried their best to squeeze in here to find suitable opportunities.


    "Hello, Ryan."


    Before leaving the banquet hall, Ryan met a self-recommended person, "My name is Paul Anderson, and I am a screenwriter and director."


    The other party''s name is very familiar. Ryan looked at this tall guy, at most in his thirties. Most directors in this age group are still in the middle and low tiers of Hollywood.


    "What''s the matter?" Ryan nodded to Charlize, motioning for her to wait for a while.


    "I heard that Jenkins Pictures is preparing to adapt your "Resident Evil" into a movie and is looking for a director."


    Opportunities are extremely rare in this circle. Paul Anderson is a typical Westerner without concealing his intentions, "I think I will be the right person."


    When the other party mentioned "Resident Evil", Ryan remembered who he was. Isn''t this the husband of Alice in the previous life and the director of this series?


    "Well¡­¡­"


    Nodded, Ryan led him out of the banquet hall and walked towards the elevator, "You have five minutes to talk about your vision of adapting the movie."


    The young director was clearly prepared. From the moment he entered the elevator, he talked endlessly. When he arrived at the parking lot, Ryan raised his hand and interrupted him.


    "Paul, tomorrow you go to Jenkins Pictures and find Ms. Stewart. You will be one of the candidates we consider."


    In other words, it seems that he came with Milla Jovovich because of this series, right?


    Ryan was still thinking about this when he got in the car. Look, I put the pair together again, so...well, I''m still a good person. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 536： Real sexy

    "Charlie! Charlie! Charlie!"


    Amidst the roar of Keanu Reeves and Gwyneth Paltrow and the others, Charlize drank the second glass of wine in one shot, and waved the hand that held the golden man a few times. .


    To get the best actress, a celebration party is definitely indispensable. Charlize also knows how difficult it is to win this award again on his own terms. Surrounded by friends, he inevitably drank a few more glasses of excitement.


    "Let''s toast Charlie together!"


    Keanu Reeves raised the glass high, and then Ryan, who had been standing behind Charlize, also raised the glass, "Cheers to the best actress!"


    "Cheers!"


    This corner of the banquet hall is definitely one of the most lively places in the "Vanity Fair" party.


    "Congratulations, Charlie."


    Russell Crowe came over with a wine glass, Charlize touched him lightly, blushing and said, "Thank you! Congratulations, Russell."


    "Ryan..." Russell Crowe looked over, and Ryan patted Charlize''s arm and motioned her to drink less. Then he said to the other side, "How does the best actor feel, Russell?"


    "Very good." The Australian is fairly straightforward, and doesn''t hide it. "It''s intoxicating."


    He lowered his voice and said in words that only Ryan and Charlize could hear, "Thank you, Ryan."


    "Thank you Stephen anyway." Ryan waved his hand casually. He and DreamWorks united more to eliminate possible opponents and ensure that Charlize won the prize.


    "Then I''m not welcome." Russell Crowe shrugged playfully, and when he turned away, he said again, "If you need anything, please let me know."


    The current "Vanity Fair" party can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons, but Ryan has formed a small circle here, and outsiders can''t get in. Even if they come together, they may not be ignored, except for the cries of celebration for Charlize. Compared with other places in the party, it is a clean place.


    After drinking a few cups in a row, Charlize also began to consciously control it. Now it is no better than before. If she gets drunk on such occasions, it is not her face that will be lost.


    "How can I thank you?"


    After the surrounding people dispersed a little, Charlize leaned against Ryan halfway and sighed gently into his ears, "As long as it''s not too much, I can satisfy you."


    "Including you bringing Peggy Carter." She smiled brilliantly.


    "You drank too much, Charlie."


    Ryan would definitely not do this kind of self-destructive behavior. He stared into the eyes of South African Diamond, "I remember you were going to accompany your mother tonight?"


    "Sorry, my dear." Charlize put up a laugh and said solemnly, "My mother has given me so much. I must share this moment with her. There is also a congratulatory message sent to my mother from South Africa, and I also Need a reply."


    "I understand." Gently kissed her forehead, Ryan pulled her up and walked towards the side door of the banquet hall, regardless of Keanu Reeves and others'' booing, "We don''t have much time, Charlie ."


    "Where do you want to be? Why don''t we find a terrace."


    As Ryan walked out of the side door, Charlize looked at the empty corridor, his whole body softened on his back, "The elevator is also good..."


    elevator? Ryan couldn''t help squeezing her tall nose, he didn''t want to make any noise...


    The celebration of the two in the presidential suite on the top floor of the Hilton Hotel continued until close to midnight. Charlize¡¯s mermaid evening dress, which was praised by countless people, was completely scrapped. When he went to his mother¡¯s room, he had to wear a man¡¯s suit. Suit...


    Not long after Charlize left, Ryan''s mobile phone rang, looked at the number displayed on it, and pressed the answer button.


    "Where are you? Why is no one answering the phone at home?" Nicole''s voice was a little cold.


    "Hilton Hotel." Ryan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the bright lights below, guessing that Nicole must not be very happy now, "Nicole..."


    "I''m just reminding you." Nicole didn''t give him a chance to say more. The words in the receiver were quick and anxious, "Don''t forget what you promised me."


    "Go to China for the premiere?" Ryan certainly did not forget.


    "Yes." The phone hung up.


    Looking at the customized candy bar phone, Ryan shook his head. Maybe it would be nice to go there in person. After all, the other side will generate huge benefits. It¡¯s okay to talk to some people about cooperation. Now the relationship between the two sides has also entered a new relationship. Relative honeymoon stage.


    There is not much controversy about this year¡¯s Oscars. The big hits predicted before the awards ceremony almost all made it to the podium. The performances of Russell Crowe and Charlize in the film were convincing enough, and they didn¡¯t look like it. Like after the appearance of the former black actor and actress, the media continues to provoke criticism.


    Of course, some newspapers that tend to black groups can''t help but complain and criticize a few words, saying that Oscar continues to discriminate against black actors, but this kind of voice is too weak and can be ignored.


    The voice of the mainstream media has never been in the hands of blacks.


    Charlize Theron, who completely subverted the performance of the vase image, won the Oscar for best actress, won the queen laurel, and became the first actress in South Africa to receive this honor.


    Soon after the award ceremony, she accepted an invitation from South Africa and returned home with her mother. The South African government paid enough attention to this. It is said that a gold brick engraved with her name was prepared to commend her efforts in Hollywood.


    Ryan returned to the "Captain America" ??crew. The shots in the studio ended before the Oscars. The entire crew came to Louisiana and began filming location scenes.


    Compared to California, Louisiana can give more care to the crew in terms of taxation and provision of venues. For this reason, a World War II barracks was opened as a memorial for the crew to shoot, and even coordinated with the National Guard to provide compensation for the crew. Staff help.


    The props team prepared more than twenty shields for Ryan, bare and patterned, brand-new with patterns, painted with bullets and so on.


    The heaviest one is the magnetic one, which can be attached to the related equipment on the back to ensure that the shield will not fall off during strenuous exercise.


    There are countless black technologies in this movie, and props and special effects are indispensable, but compared to "Iron Man", the number of special effects shots is obviously much smaller.


    After staying in Louisiana for about a week, Nicole, who was also filming "The Moment", came here, and the two took a plane to the far side of the Pacific Ocean.


    Without the male and female protagonists, the crew of "Captain America" ??is still functioning normally, and a large number of Hydra scenes can be completed during this time.


    Nicole¡¯s Boeing airliner has undergone some simple internal modifications to better suit her female identity.


    "When can your one be delivered?"


    Sitting in the resting cabin of the plane, Nicole brewed coffee patiently, "Isn''t it an order together?"


    "soon."


    There are only two of them here. Ryan is lying on the sofa with a cushion, "There are still a few months left."


    After pouring two cups of coffee, Nicole put it on the table in front of the sofa, picked up the magazine and sat next to Ryan, "Do you want sugar?"


    "The old rules are all right." Ryan moved forward, simply resting on Nicole''s thigh, stretching a long waist, "Oh, it feels much more comfortable."


    "But I''m not feeling well." Nicole pushed the coffee on the table to prevent the guy from accidentally burning it. "You are too heavy."


    "Ok."


    Holding Nicole¡¯s slender waist, Ryan slowly sat up, and when his head passed her chest, he deliberately found the most prominent position, and took a bite on it, in exchange for Nicole¡¯s one. Fainted.


    "My dear, you didn''t wear a bust." Ryan didn''t care about Nicole''s eyes and put his entire head on it, his face still rolling around like a keyboard.


    "What do you want to do?" Nicole gently pulled his ears and warned, "I am in my menstrual period. You are hurting me. If you have an urge, solve it by yourself."


    "Sorry." Ryan sat up quickly.


    Squeezing her chest, Nicole picked up the magazine and slumped it on top of him, but suddenly sat up straight again without turning a few pages.


    "What''s the matter?" Ryan handed the coffee cup over, and Nicole put it directly on the table after taking it, and read to the magazine, "Youth and beautiful, beautiful and indispensable, even in the beautiful Hollywood, there is no People can cover her light, this is the new generation of Hollywood goddess whose acting skills and beauty coexist."


    "How does this sound so familiar?" Ryan squeezed his chin and thought. Isn''t this the vocabulary used by the media to describe Nicole?


    "Now the public opinion is chasing the new Oscars." Nicole threw the magazine directly into the trash.


    After checking the time, Nicole stood up, took off the loose home clothes, and found the formal clothes from the closet.


    "DearYour figure is still that great." Ryan tried his best to put on an admiring look, while constantly complimenting, "Very very sexy."


    "Thank you." Nicole turned her head in the full-length mirror without turning her head. "You guy who knows nothing about fashion, do you know what sexiness is?"


    "Of course." Ryan stood up and walked over, gently stroking her fingers on Nicole''s smooth back, "In my opinion, sexiness is more of a temperament, and this temperament is not a pretentious performance. , But it comes out naturally. It should be the most natural, just like my Nicole."


    "Should I be moved?"


    Despite the sarcasm in what he said, the corners of Nicole''s mouth turned up uncontrollably, "Hurry up and change clothes. You don''t want to appear in this image, do you?"


    "I don''t have to show up in public... well."


    Lips touched the back of her neck, Ryan followed the white back and kissed all the way, and finally patted **** the beautiful buttocks, and then walked to his wardrobe in Nicole''s anger. rs()

 Chapter 537： In the hotel

    The plane finally arrived at the destination. While waiting to enter the tarmac, Ryan looked at the distant sky through the window. Although it was not as gray as the future, it was not as gray as when he and Natalie came over last time. , The congestion and pollution of this city will become one of the most troublesome problems.


    "I heard you have been here."


    Nicole, who was sitting across from him, also looked out the window, "Or several years ago?"


    "Ok¡­¡­"


    There is nothing to conceal about this kind of thing, Ryan nodded, and then seriously reminded, "Nicole, this is a completely different country. There are certain things that must be paid attention to when facing the media."


    "My dear, I am not a vase." Nicole rolled her eyes dissatisfiedly. "I know how to deal with the media and reporters. When I came, the brokerage team had analyzed them and had to appropriately recognize their culture and values. This is very important for a country that is rapidly emerging."


    "Okay." Ryan shook her hand vigorously. "It looks like you have done a lot of homework."


    After speaking, he exhorted a few more words, especially if someone brought up the issue of a certain island, try to avoid it as much as possible.


    Whether it is sports or entertainment, politics has never been far away.


    Since he did not announce in advance that he wanted to come here, when he left the airport, Ryan simply wore sunglasses and a hat, and mixed with the members of the "Moulin Rouge" crew, and Nicole, who was at the forefront of the glamorous photos, made the Queen of Hollywood. The momentum of the show is vivid and incisive, attracting the eyes of reporters and fans who have been waiting here for a long time.


    Compared to when Ryan went to Golden State to participate in the''World Concert'', there were more fans waiting outside the airport and crazier. Now, after all, this is not the beginning. The network and information transmission are getting faster and faster, and more people are paying attention to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Hollywood, and Nicole, the leading actress, is naturally very eye-catching.


    In this life, she is completely different from Nicole, who relied on the guy who was about to fall into the San Fernando Valley in the previous life. In terms of honor, she is an Oscar queen and just received another nomination; in terms of movie box office, the "The Matrix" trilogy is in The world has an extraordinary influence.


    There were people from China Film Group and Disney''s Far East Branch who came to pick up the plane. After Nicole got in the car, Ryan randomly found a car, and after a lot of tossing, he finally left the airport.


    The current city has a faint tendency of traffic jams. The car bypassed several crowded overpasses and arrived at the Beijing Hotel where the crew stayed. Only then did Ryan rejoin Nicole and also met the Disney branch. , And another acquaintance who came to meet him.


    "Ryan, why are you here?"


    In the lobby of the hotel, Chen Jiazheng looked a little surprised, while Ryan stepped forward and gave him a strong hug, "It''s been a long time, Chen."


    "Yeah, it''s been a long time." Chen Jiazheng said after the two separated, "Those people are too careless, they don''t even know you are here."


    "I am among the crew of the crew." Ryan pointed to his sunglasses and hat, and seemed a little proud. "It seems that my makeup skills have improved."


    "Honey, the elevator is coming." Nicole reminded.


    "Well, for the time being." Ryan looked at the sign of a certain film company hanging around Chen Jiazheng''s neck. "You''ll be busy first, and we will talk later."


    Riding the elevator to the booked suite, Nicole directed the staff to pack his luggage, Ryan couldn''t help standing in front of the window, looking at this familiar and unfamiliar city.


    In the previous life, he had only been here a few times occasionally, and he had already been here once in this life, but he would no longer sigh, everything in the past has become the past.


    This country has the deepest connection with him than Chen Jiazheng just now. After finishing the shooting of that horror film, he said goodbye to Hollywood and returned to China to join a well-known film company.


    Occasionally when I met Darren Bosman, Ryan heard him talk about Chen Jiazheng''s temporary development is fairly smooth. Although there is no chance to be in charge of the director, the Huayi who joined is a partner of Jenkins Pictures. .


    In fact, if he is willing to join Disney, he will certainly have better development opportunities, but everyone has their own ideals.


    The staff put a few big suitcases in the right place and left. Nicole looked around the rooms one by one, then walked back to the living room and sat on the sofa satisfactorily. Because of the jet lag and the chaos of the airport, her face A little tired.


    "If you are tired, go and rest."


    Walking to the back of the sofa, Ryan gently rubbed her shoulders, Nicole closed her eyes with enjoyment, and leaned the back of his head against his body, "Unexpectedly, I would have so many supporters here."


    "Actually, there are a large number of people who like Hollywood movies here." Ryan couldn''t help but think of his previous life. When he was a teenager, he saw "Killer Leon" and Matilda on pirated videos, and he couldn''t help himself ever since.


    "So, "Moulin Rouge" will be a big seller here?" Most of the investment in this film comes from Nicole. Of course she cares about the film''s income.


    "No, it should be worse than expected." Ryan did not reserve, and directly expressed his own views. "The most popular ones here are "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Matrix". Large-scale production of science fiction films, musical films lack a sufficient audience base."


    "But..." He squeezed Nicole''s face lightly, "You are the first Oscar queen to come here for the premiere. You can definitely drive a portion of the box office."


    Nicole stood up, kissed him, and walked to the bedroom, "I''m going to sleep."


    "That''s all together." Ryan followed afterwards.


    Probably the reason for the jet lag was clear, until the two woke up from their sleep, no one came to bother.


    After getting out of bed, Ryan walked to the window and drew the thick curtains. The sun had sunk to the west, only a few afterglows were left, and the reflected gray sky turned into a glowing red.


    "Sleep with me for a while, okay?" Nicole turned her eyes blurred and looked over, "Honey."


    "Can you still fall asleep?"


    Close the curtains, Ryan walked back again, picked up the lazy woman who looked like a cat, and sniffed her golden curly hair, the fresh scent was very charming.


    "It''s good to have a chat."


    Nicole plunged directly into the warm embrace, and her long fingers pushed away the cotton pajamas, gently stroking her sturdy chest, Ryan kissed her forehead, and slowly hugged the soft body in her arms, "You What do you want to say, Nicole?"


    "I heard that there are many historic sites here, let''s go and see it another day?" Her hand suddenly fell downward.


    "Well, it is said that this city is the ancient capital of several dynasties in China." Ryan grabbed the naughty hand that was walking near the vital point. "But now it''s the peak tourist season. If you want to go, you must be well-prepared. People are ready to watch."


    "It''s not so exaggerated. It''s not North America or Australia."


    Feeling her hand being held and pressed somewhere, Nicole deliberately squeezed hard, Ryan almost didn''t call out, and quickly took her hand out, "Hey, you are murder, understand, dear !"


    "So what?" Nicole, who was in her menstrual period, obviously thought she had the upper hand, jumped out of bed and walked towards the bathroom, "I''m hungry, it''s time to go out to eat."


    Although there are many dishes that can only be heard in rumours in Ryan''s previous life, Nicole is not used to Chinese food. After making a reservation, he took Nicole into the French-style restaurant.


    "The taste is okay."


    After eating a small piece of French fried foie gras, Nicole nodded gently, "Similar to French restaurants in Los Angeles."


    "It suits your appetite." Ryan put down his knife and fork and raised a cup to her. "No matter what the dish is, it must be improved in other regions, such as authentic Chinese dishes, which are very popular in North America. It¡¯s hard to see that the most popular Chinese restaurants in Los Angeles sell all Western-style Chinese food."


    "Then why do I think the ones here are not bad?" Nicole retorted.


    "Because this is a foreign-related restaurant." Ryan motioned to Nicole. Almost all the people who ate were Westerners with high-nosed eyes. "The customers targeted were Westerners."


    In recent years, Hollywood movies have become more and more influential. The first part of "The Lord of the Rings" released at the beginning of the year also killed other movies released here at the same time. Movies like this can only stay in China in this era. In the audience''s imagination, even in the past ten years, there are very few Chinese movies with a single-round special performance that surpasses the first part of "The Lord of the Rings".


    It is a method used by Hollywood to capture the movie market one after another with well-made big productions one by one, and this method cannot be solved by boycotting. Now that it has joined, the market must be able to reach a certain extent. Open. Although there are not many movies with 20 general accounts , all that can be introduced here is the essence of Hollywood.


    In view of the success of the first episode of "The Lord of the Rings", China Film Group is actively operating "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone". In fact, regardless of ideology, regardless of whether the capital comes from the private or the government, the pursuit of interests will always be their commonality.


    Hollywood movies can bring benefits to certain groups here, and they will actively promote and operate.


    "China News.com news that this year''s most popular musical and dance blockbuster in European and American film "Moulin Rouge" will have its first intimate contact with audiences in the capital at the Big Tower Dream Theater. The film is starred by the famous Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman. The Oscar queen just won another Oscar nomination for Best Actress for this film, and will be at the premiere."


    Before the premiere, the media was flooded with news reports about "Moulin Rouge".


    "The "Beijing Morning Post" reported that "Moulin Rouge" is a romantic song and dance drama set in the 19th century Paris underground dance hall. It mainly tells the joys and sorrows between the young writer Christine and the red dancer Satine. Love story. The film not only attracts the brightest female celebrities in the international film world, but also creates the most gorgeous song and dance scene in history."rs()

 Chapter 538： Mountain eagle

    The film comes with the aura of the Oscar queen, and Nicole and several other actors from the crew will also attend the premiere. The China Film Group and the New Film and Television Group here deliberately selected the premiere of "Moulin Rouge" in It was held at the Big Iron Tower Dream Theater, known as the "Moulin Rouge in Beijing".


    The enthusiastic audiences on both sides of the red carpet naturally don¡¯t have to say. Now it¡¯s not ten years from now. For this side, Hollywood movie stars still have special charms such as mystery, plus Nicole¡¯s noble and glamorous image. There were shouts, and at one time some male fans had an impact on the security personnel on both sides of the red carpet.


    However, Nicole also discovered that the most popular movie fan here is the Trinity poster in The Matrix.


    As for the roles she is most satisfied with, it is hard to see them.


    That **** doesn''t accompany him on the red carpet, I''m afraid he''s already in it, right? She showed a charming smile and waved around frequently.


    Unlike Ryan, who is less and less enthusiastic about participating in such occasions, Nicole has always liked life under the spotlight. She likes the current feeling and enjoys the support and support of everyone.


    As for dealing with reporters'' interviews, it was not difficult for her. Even if there were occasional sensitive questions, she was pushed aside by extremely sleek methods.


    Entering the theater, people from the Disney Far East branch were waiting at the door, while Nicole showed a formulaic smile. Under the introduction of the other party, he nodded with a polite handshake with the people who came over.


    Very stylized communication.


    Although there may be differences in the procedures for the premiere between the East and the West, they are actually all those things. When facing these people, Nicole is not as polite as when facing fans. He just dealt with it hastily and walked into the theater. in.


    "How do you feel, I can hear your supporters yelling from here."


    After Nicole came over, Ryan ended the conversation with Chen Jiazheng. She stood up and straightened the seat for her.


    "It''s okay." She took Ryan''s arm and sat down.


    The action of the two attracted the attention of many people. In fact, not long after entering the hotel yesterday, many people got news of Ryan''s arrival on the same plane, and some also vaguely passed the word through Chen Jiazheng, wanting to start with the Disney Group. Multi-faceted cooperation.


    As for these, after all Ryan was pushed to the premiere, after the film, the organizers also prepared a cocktail party.


    "Hello. Ryan." A woman''s voice suddenly came from behind. Ryan looked back and nodded to her, "I''m glad to meet you, Miss Zhang."


    The other party also participated in this year''s Oscar red carpet, and it is said that they will also participate in "Memoirs of a Geisha" produced by Spielberg.


    "I heard she is pursuing a shareholder of Warner."


    When Ryan turned around, Nicole leaned in his ear and said gossiping, "A very smart woman who knows how to maintain her reputation in Hollywood."


    "These are none of our business." Ryan patted Nicole''s hand lightly. Remind her, "The movie is about to begin."


    Frankly speaking, "Moulin Rouge" is still a fairy tale, but a tragic fairy tale for adults. And what it shows is only a small part of the Moulin Rouge that year.


    Of course, if you want to show a real Moulin Rouge, the movie will become restricted, and Ryan will not let Nicole go to shoot this movie.


    If it is a few years later. "Moulin Rouge" will definitely be more popular. Unfortunately, the audience for the current musicals is limited, although the movies are not cold-spotted with singing and dancing. But it is definitely not as popular as it was when it was released in Europe and the United States. Compared with the movie itself, Nicole is more attractive than the movie itself.


    Equally attractive is the diamond pendant that Nicole brought in the movie.


    Having lived with Ryan for so many years, she also has no shortage of business operations. All the jewelry worn by Sha Ting, including this string of pendants, are all real jewelry, with a total value of more than five million US dollars.


    This is also a huge boo when the movie is publicized.


    Of course, these jewels were all collected by Nicole.


    Especially the diamond jewelry was named "Sha Ting" by Nicole. After the movie was released, many ladies asked if it could be transferred, but she refused all of them.


    The movie ended very quickly. Although it was another variant of "Romeo and Juliet", the applause that rang out was enthusiastic enough.


    After Ni accepted the routine interview, Ryan and other celebrities who participated in the premiere returned to the hotel, and a large-scale reception kicked off.


    From the moment they entered the banquet hall, Ryan and Nicole became the focus of the scene, and countless people came to greet them. These people were not only from the film and television industry, but even some local officials.


    In fact, this is not surprising. Walt Disney¡¯s business is inherently diverse. For example, it has been negotiating with Shanghai on Disneyland matters. Disney''s Far East branch even formulated relevant drafts for Beijing Disneyland. Build the largest playground in Asia in the hinterland of the north.


    In the previous life, because of Disney''s own position, this plan could only be aborted.


    As for this life, Ryan feels that the possibility is equally unlikely. Not to mention the reasons from this side. Although he is the controlling party of Disney, he is only a drop in the ocean facing the torrent of mainstream society.


    As he and Nicole dealt with each other politely, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and then Ryan met a legendary figure in the industry he was engaged in in the previous life-the famous mountain eagle.


    Although the two parties have never met, the films produced by Jenkins Pictures have always been the focus of the introduction of China Film Group in recent years. Films such as "Titanic", "Jurassic Park" and "Lord of the Rings" have all set off here. After a wave of different sizes, China Film Group has also made huge profits from these films.


    Shaking hands, greetings, toasting and drinking together, Ryan is impeccable in communication etiquette.


    "Mr. Jenkins, I hope we have more opportunities for cooperation in the future." The other party is not tall, but has a shrewd look.


    "In fact, our cooperation has always been very pleasant."


    Although there are staff members who are translating, Ryan can understand what the other party says, but he still speaks English.


    He crossed the entire Pacific Ocean to come here, but he was not a Chinese, besides, there was a Nicole beside him who basically couldn''t understand Chinese.


    Besides, if he speaks a few words in almost standard Chinese, can he close the relationship between the two parties? Can the other party treat him as his own person?


    Don''t be kidding, these people are all human beings. Nothing cares more than benefits.


    He is the absolute controlling party of Disney, and the cooperation between the two parties can be a win-win situation. This is the most basic condition for standing together.


    "In the past few years, China Film Group has been the largest overseas partner of Jenkins Pictures."


    As soon as the words were spoken, Nicole next to him rolled his eyes calmly. Ryan never had to prepare for such words, "Mr. Han, I think we can have more in-depth cooperation."


    "Appreciate further details."


    After the entourage of the mountain eagle had translated, Ryan continued, ¡°For example, shorten the time difference between the film¡¯s release in China and the United States. The loss brought about."


    The other party is an old fox who has become a fine, and he naturally understands what Ryan said, "I am honest, Mr. Jenkins, you are very optimistic about our market?"


    The words of the two of them attracted the attention of many people around, after all, one is the handle of the domestic film market. The other is a big figure who can call the wind and rain in the whole world.


    Even many people who asked themselves some identities took the initiative to get in.


    Ryan didn''t mind, and squeezed Nicole''s hand hard. After smiling at her, he said again, ¡°This land has the world¡¯s largest potential audience. There is a lack of a large number of good enough films to attract them to the theater, and the number of screens is limited and the layout is not Both also limit the crowd watching the movie."


    "In my opinion, you should speed up the development of the theater chain. There is great potential to be tapped in this area." He raised his voice slightly, and there are probably not a few people who can understand English.


    If audiences and films are the foundation of the film market, then cinemas are the facilities that carry this foundation.


    Ryan said so, the purpose is very simple, to attract the attention of some of them, to accelerate the development of the cinema chain here, without enough screens, where will there be box office sales comparable to the North American market in the future, and where can he share it further? More benefits.


    "I will ask someone to contact your staff for simultaneous releases."


    After the mountain sculpture dropped this sentence, he left the banquet hall. Ryan also knew that China Film Group was not just a company, it would definitely involve all aspects...


    "I''m tired and want to go back to rest." Nicole whispered in his ear.


    "Okay." Ryan nodded, surrounded by strangers and unintelligible words, Nicole must be bored.


    Before the two of them could say goodbye to the organizer, Chen Jiazheng suddenly came over with a middle-aged man wearing glasses. The other side''s vaguely familiar appearance made Ryan immediately remember who he was.


    "Honey, wait a moment." He looked at Nicole, and Nicole smiled, "It''s okay."


    The two people walked over quickly, and after Chen Jiazheng''s brief introduction, Ryan realized that he had not admitted the wrong person.


    "this way please."


    Strictly speaking The two parties have a certain cooperative relationship. Ryan also followed Wang Zhongjun to a quiet place with few people. The other party''s English is very fluent. "Listening to Mr. Jenkins just now is very good for the theater. interest?"


    "Very interested." Ryan shook his head and said, "But if you want to invest, it should be difficult to pass your government''s review."


    He didn''t want to get involved with the people here too deeply, so he changed the subject directly, "I beg Chen, Vito, you are looking for a suitable Zhang Qiu actor, I don''t know..."


    "This role should appear in the third part, right?" Wang Zhongjun is also a shrewd businessman. "My consideration, after the release of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone", a draft similar to American Idol will be held for this role activity."


    Hearing this, Nicole almost laughed, but Ryan¡¯s eyes lit up. If the activity is strong enough,


    That would definitely increase Harry Potter''s influence here, which is totally a win-win thing.


    "Can your company come up with a specific plan as soon as possible?" (To be continued...) u()

 Chapter 539： Australia in Autumn

    On the second day after the premiere, Nicole¡¯s plane flew to Australia. Ryan only reached an agreement with Huayi. Someone will naturally advance the specific work, and he agreed to help according to the other party¡¯s cryptic request. Promote Huayi''s films to North America.


    Internationalizing local movies and going to North America to earn dollars is the hope of many filmmakers here.


    It''s a pity that Ryan knows who Huayi''s trump card is, and also knows the limitations of their films, it is impossible to succeed in North America.


    Therefore, he did not hesitate to introduce Harvey Weinstein to the people of Huayi. Anyway, the big fat man always likes to buy movies from abroad and distribute them in North America, which can be regarded as making the best use of it.


    As for whether Director Feng will call Harvey Weinstein a liar in the future, Ryan will leave it alone.


    In fact, North American distributors and theater operators are very realistic people. As long as the film shows commercial potential, they will not care about the ethnicity and culture, and they will definitely work hard to promote it in order to maximize the benefits.


    These foreign films are often released from more than a dozen or even a few theaters to see the market response. The previous "Heroes" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are not in this way of operation.


    Certain films that have been popular in the Far East or other places have not been released after being introduced to North America or have been on a three-day theater trip. It can only be said that this kind of film is not suitable for the North American film market.


    Differences in regions and cultures also have obvious effects on movies.


    When they came to the farm in Queensland, Australia, they embarked on a short holiday trip.


    This farmhouse, located more than 40 miles away in Brisbane, has changed from more than 6,200 acres to nearly 30,000 acres after Nicole¡¯s successive large-scale acquisitions, and it is even about to directly border the Gold Coast.


    The farm still uses lavender, wine and racehorse fodder as its main industries, and can generate a profit of about 3.5 million Australian dollars per year.


    It is not only Ryan and Nicole who are here for vacation, but also Antonia Kidman and her new boyfriend.


    but. After the two parties met, the first activity for the dinner was to watch a movie. As an industry insider, Nicole was concerned about the film culture of the country where she just went. Still a little interested. It just so happened that Ryan got a copy of their big-selling movie this year from Huayi.


    As the language is not translated, except for Ryan. The three people who do not understand Chinese can only understand the dialogue through subtitles. This method is not only laborious, but also there are too many slang words in the movie. It is impossible to express accurately in English at all.


    Donald Sutherland in the movie is considered an acquaintance and also served as a guest at the Oscars ceremony this year.


    "That... there is a big horn and a shaker, that is... what is it?"


    The doctor on the opposite side replied, "Gramophone!"


    "You are the head of the third floor!"


    The humor in the last paragraph caused several people to laugh at the same time, and Ryan got up. Go to the back and pack all the equipment. A few people left the projection room of the manor. The Kidman sisters briefly discussed a few words and walked towards the racecourse together.


    "Is China''s audiovisual industry really developed?"


    Antonia Kidman also didn''t understand. As he walked, he asked Nicole, who had just returned from there, "Just like in the movie?"


    "I don''t know very well either." Nicole shrugged, and then asked, "What does the movie say?"


    "There are now 27 million DVDs in China, and each machine consumes ten DVDs a year, and each DVD draws one yuan in royalties." Antonia deserves to be a talk show host, roughly repeating it. The movie line, "Ten discs are ten dollars, plus 27 million DVDs, that''s 270 million."


    "In fact, this is a very, very conservative number."


    Holding Nicole''s hand, Ryan looked at the racetrack in the distance, and took the initiative to take the topic, "This number needs to be doubled by at least ten times to be more in line with the reality over there."


    "Isn''t this a very large peripheral market?" Antonia''s boyfriend said, "I have been there several times. Given their large population base, Ryan''s figures are also very conservative."


    "Why is it so hard to sell our DVD and video tape copyrights over there?" Nicole''s blue eyes are all strange. After all, she hides in the hotel most of the time except for the premiere. "Even if the copyright is sold , The price is very low."


    "The national conditions are different." Ryan shook her hand vigorously, and took the initiative to change the subject, "It''s been a long time, my dear, I heard that you have specially trained how many horses?"


    Entering the racecourse, a few people changed their riding clothes. Ryan carried a cowboy hat in one hand and Nicole in the other, and walked into the stable. There are no expensive thoroughbred horses here, most of which are common horse breeds in Australia. Although he is a little smaller, his gentle temperament makes it easier to ensure the safety of the rider.


    These are the horses that Nicole has chosen surprisingly. After all, the people here are here to play, not to train the horses.


    To help Nicole take care of her dark horse first, Ryan chose a maroon horse similar to Brigo at random, chased the Australian girl, and ran out of the stable amidst the sound of clear hoofs.


    The sun moved from the top of the head to the left, and seemed to be able to fall into the small blue lake at any time. The grass by the lake was slightly yellowed, and a few grasshoppers jumped on it, but they were crushed by the falling horseshoes, and the sky occasionally flew over. The bird will make a feeble cry, as if it is telling the world that winter in Australia is coming soon.


    The beige cowboy hat pressed Nicole''s golden red curly hair. The empty world made her particularly relaxed. She turned back and whistled at Ryan, and her riding boots slammed the black horse hard, speeding up her speed.


    After experiencing the baptism of several movies in succession, Ryan''s riding skills have made considerable progress, and he soon caught up from behind, and gradually kept pace with Nicole.


    The empty racecourse has undergone expansion and is several times larger than it was at the beginning. In addition, there is a man-made lake in the center, which is connected to the river channel on the other side through a channel, and from time to time you can see splashes of fish turning up.


    "This small lake is Kate''s idea." Nicole slowly slowed down and said while looking at the artificial lake.


    "Kate used to like design." Ryan also pulled on the reins and waited for Nicole, who was a little behind, to catch up, and said, "Our Queen Galadriel loves lakes."


    "Hey, what are you talking about?" Antonia Kidman chased up from behind. Ryan saw that she was alone, and asked strangely, "Where is Sam?"


    "The idiot''s riding pants are broken. I went back and changed my clothes." Antonia pulled the reins and went to Nicole''s other side, complaining, "He is always stupid. I now doubt very much if I am fainted by accepting his pursuit. head."


    Regarding this matter, Ryan would definitely not make any suggestions, and Nicole couldn''t say anything. The three horses slowed down and finally turned into a horseback walk.


    "Annie, do you want to come to Hollywood to develop?" Nicole mentioned this suggestion again.


    "I still... like Sydney more." Antonia Kidman hesitated after thinking about it, "My friends and social circles are all in Sydney."


    "All of these can be re-established." Nicole pulled his horse''s head and walked towards the lake first. After Ryan and the two followed, he said, "Your career in Sydney TV can''t go further, that The talk show has reached its limit. You need a bigger stage."


    "If you want, I can recommend you to the TV station. They lack a good enough talk show host." After speaking, Nicole looked over and Ryan nodded slightly.


    He and Nicole have watched Antonia''s show many times, and she is indeed very capable.


    "Then... I need to think about it."


    Seeing Nicole preparing to dismount, Antonia also grabbed the mount, "I also need to discuss with Sam."


    "Isn''t he an actor? How many actors don''t want to go to Hollywood?" Nicole threw the reins of the horse to Ryan and took her sister to the lake. "Honey, go back and bring us some snacks and tea. Okay?"


    "Happy to help."


    Tie the two horses, Ryan turned on the horse and ran towards the stable.


    Australia in April is autumn. The farm life is casual and comfortable, without flashing lights and paparazzi stalking, and without work-ridden, it is like a peaceful place away from the harassment of the world.


    Fishing, horse riding, and walking have become the themes of Ryan and Nicole¡¯s lives. Sometimes they will go to the winery to learn about winemaking with the winemakers, or go to the farm to help the workers harvest horse racing fodder.


    These are all life that is hard to experience in Hollywood, but this kind of life can be regarded as relaxing. If it goes on day after day, I am afraid that Nicole will be the first to rebel.


    In a series of leisure activities, Ryan¡¯s favorite is hunting. With a double-barreled shotgun on his back and Nicole holding the hound, he enters thousands of acres of woods on the farm, looking for suitable prey, reloading and driving. Gun, shooting...


    Then, the prey escaped unharmed by the gunfire, he could only repeat the process in Nicole''s contemptuous eyes...


    ''boom! boom! ¡¯


    Ryan pulled the trigger again and again, and the shotguns hit the mud and leaves flying around, but he was a few feet away from the target hare. The nasty rabbit, with its slick eyes, turned around like Nicole¡¯s contemptuous eyes. , Glanced at the two in hunting suits, and ran away.


    "Gru! Baby, it''s up to you!"


    Raised his eyebrows at Ryan, who was holding his face, Nicole let go of the hound''s leash. The German Shepherd ran out as fast as possible, flexibly avoiding obstacles such as branches and weeds, for a while. In the barking of Wang Wang, a beautiful flutter successfully captured the hare.


    "Two days, Ryan." Nicole held up **** at him, "You haven''t hit any prey. I remember you are a member of a gun club in Los Angeles? Shooting level..."


    She shook her head and walked towards the hound Gru.


    Picking up the shotgun, Ryan reluctantly followed. He just practiced shooting briefly a long time ago. As for the level, he still doesn''t mention it. ()

 Chapter 540： 1 million ways Hollywood stars die

    His right knee slowly landed on the ground, and his torso bent into a bow shape. Ryan recalled the shooting essentials that he only remembered, and while shooting in a fairly standard kneeling position, he silently calculated the distance between the deer and the herd. It is suitable for the range of a shotgun.


    A bird call rang out in the eucalyptus forest. At the same time, more than a dozen deer raised their heads and looked around. Ryan''s finger was slowly placed on the trigger, and a few fallen leaves slowly fell from the top of his head.


    Just when a eucalyptus leaf fell on his shoulder. Ryan squeezed the trigger, and the crisp gunfire sounded twice in a row. Amidst the chaotic sounds on the opposite side, the deer fleeed in all directions.


    "Shot!"


    Nicole stood up first. "Glu, come on!"


    The hound, which had been holding back for a long time, finally barked and rushed towards the fallen stag.


    "Good job. Honey!"


    As soon as Ryan returned the bullet, Nicole jumped over and hugged him, kissed **** the bearded cheek, "This is your reward."


    "I thought there would be more affordable ones."


    The free hand moved down, and Ryan squeezed Nicole''s hip, in exchange for a pair of stern pale blue eyes, "Ryan, don''t even think about it."


    Around the weedy place, Ryan took Nicole and walked over from the path where Gru waded.


    This is an adult stag. He was shot in the neck and in the chest. The blood that rushed out of it stained a large area of ??grass, and it was too dead to die.


    "It turns out that you have time to hit it." Nicole only took a look, then moved her gaze to another place.


    "This is my true level."


    Ryan would not admit that he was actually aiming at a deer.


    Pulling out his mobile phone, Ryan dialed the number in the manor and told the staff to drive over and take the hunted deer back.


    The smell of blood was a bit strong, and Nicole covered her nose and greeted Ryan, "Let¡¯s go to the limelight, stay away, and let Gru watch here."


    "Gru, look good on it." Ryan pointed to the wild deer on the ground, patted the sheepdog''s forehead, stuffed it with a few pieces of dried meat, and followed Nicole to the largest eucalyptus tree.


    Naomi Watts and her new boyfriend were already here when they returned the harvested prey, and Antonia Kidman was sitting with them in the garden, drinking tea and chatting.


    "Hi, Nami."


    Jumping off the off-road vehicle, Ryan beckoned over there and directed the staff to transport the deer and hare to the kitchen.


    "You hunted it yourself?"


    Naomi Watts walked over and naturally saw the deer being lifted.


    "Ryan''s masterpiece, both shots hit the target." Nicole knows how to praise her lover in front of others, she pulled La Ryan, "Let''s change clothes first..."


    With that, he looked at Naomi Watts'' side, "Don''t you introduce me, Nami?"


    "Hello, Miss Kidman, this is Heath Ledger."


    Hearing this name, Ryan, who was discussing with the staff about how to rectify a venison meal, couldn''t help turning his head. Seeing the young and familiar appearance, he frowned and recalled it, which seemed to be the one from the previous life.


    Then, more relevant information appeared in my mind.


    Shaking his head, after Nicole finished shaking his hand, Ryan greeted briefly and walked to the dressing room.


    I can vaguely remember that Naomi Watts had a short relationship with each other in her previous life, but due to character problems, the two parties soon broke up. It is estimated that there will not be much change in this life.


    Naomi Watts is cheerful and a little sensitive because of her past experience, while Heath Ledger''s personality...


    Well, he was only seeing each other for the first time, and he couldn''t talk about understanding.


    As for changing the destiny of the other party? If he had always been Naomi Watts'' boyfriend, of course he would do something privately, if not, it would have nothing to do with him.


    Hollywood stars have a million ways to die, and drug addiction is just a very common one.


    Of course, the movie theater projectionist has not appeared in Hollywood until now, maybe Heath Ledger will change because of this.


    Maybe in the future I can make a movie called "A Million Ways to Die in Hollywood"?


    Frankly speaking, apart from accidents such as murder and car accidents, how many of those Hollywood stars who died unnaturally did not kill themselves?


    Ruifan Phoenix died from a drug overdose. His death is worth a bit. In addition to creating a hot topic for the media, it also indirectly saved his two friends Johnny Depp and Keanu Rivery. Si, let these two fully understand the harm of cocaine and wake up.


    Whitney Houston, who will die in the bathtub in the future, scandals of drug abuse, promiscuity, drug addiction and huge debts have not been broken since the mid-1990s.


    There is also David Carradine, the uncle Bill who was hunted down by Uma Thurman. Later, he actually staged a realistic version of "Kill Bill". When the body was found in the Swiss hotel in Thailand, he was naked* *, the hands, neck, and **** are all tied with ropes, and the two Thai men who have **** with him are demon...


    Poor people must have something to hate, and this sentence is appropriate to describe those Hollywood stars who are deeply involved in drugs and drugs.


    For those who have nothing to do with him, Ryan will look on the sidelines as he did in the past, watching what was supposed to happen continues to happen.


    For example, 9/11, such as the dreamer of actors who turned to the San Fernando Valley, such as Britney Spears, who had a reputation for intersecting depravity as a child.


    The phrase ¡®don¡¯t die¡¯ from the previous life is very appropriate to describe these people, isn¡¯t it?


    Thinking about this, Ryan changed his hunting outfit, returned to the garden with Nicole, drinking tea and chatting with everyone.


    Dinner is a veritable feast of venison, plus pure natural vegetables from the farm, paired with wine produced by the winery. Although it does not have the luxury of Hollywood, it has an Australian style in it.


    Naomi Watts and Antonia Kidman will continue to vacation here, but Ryan''s vacation is about to end.


    "Although I am the boss, I can''t hold it off indefinitely."


    After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, Ryan sat on the bedside chatting with Nicole in his arms. The Australian girl drank a little at night and was drunk and confused at this time, "My dear, don''t forget that I am shooting two scenes at the same time, except for " "Captain America" ??and "The Moment"."


    "I want a role like Peggy Carter." Ryan squeezed her white face, "It won''t bother you."


    "Running between the two places is very annoying Nicole stretched a long waist, "We should go to bed, and we have to get up early and return to North America tomorrow. "


    The progress of "Captain America" ??has been very smooth, Ryan has left the crew for more than a week, and it is impossible not to go back to report, even if everyone has no choice but to take him as the boss.


    The sooner this movie is released, the better the response will be. If it is delayed for too long, when the anti-war and anarchist wave reappears in the society, the box office will definitely be greatly reduced.


    According to the surprise plan, this movie will be launched at the end of the year, and then new projects will be introduced.


    Originally, they contacted Ang Lee and wanted the other party to direct "The Hulk", but Ryan rejected it. What are the jokes and let a literary film director direct the superhero movie?


    And this movie has been temporarily postponed. After all, the first few series have already made Surprise bear too much financial pressure.


    The next day, Ryan and Nicole returned to the studio in Louisiana, where there were many cranes and barracks.

    "No rent!"


    Irene didn''t even look at the bill, and shook his head directly. Who knows that the paparazzi obviously didn''t give up, and took out another one, "Twenty dollars!"


    "No need." Yilun didn''t bother to talk to him again, "I don''t need money."


    Talking. He raised his binoculars and continued to look at the set. He ran so far from New Orleans not to make this money!


    From the looking glasses. Irun can see clearly, and the shooting seems to have begun.


    I saw Ryan, dressed as Captain America, shuttle flexibly in the armor workshop, bringing down an enemy with agility. Removed the shield, threw it out, the red and blue round shield smashed into an armored vehicle...


    Then, the filming seemed to be suspended. The director who stood up should be David Fincher, who came to Ryan and exchanged something with him.


    Shooting starts again, all with short shots, and will stop once more than ten seconds on average. After the action guide demonstrates some actions, the shooting will start again.


    It¡¯s almost all fighting scenes here. Although the intermittent shooting looks boring, Ilan still feels that Ryan¡¯s skills and movements seem to be more flexible than before, especially compared to Aragon¡¯s sloppy fights in The Lord of the Rings. Too much beautiful.


    Well, if you watch beautiful fights, wait a few months. The trailer for "Star Wars Episode: Attack of the Clones" has just been released recently, and Ryan''s actions in it are just a mess.


    About an hour later, Irun saw that the crew began to shift their positions and came to a closer place, where many soldiers dressed up by the Allied forces during World War II were already in place, and the slide rails used for filming were also paved for a long time.


    He put down the telescope, and from this position, he could see clearly enough with the naked eye.


    Nicole Kidman was holding a Chicago typewriter, mixed among the soldiers, seemingly ready to charge.


    Someone raised the microphone, and Yilun faintly heard the sound of the beginning, and then clear and audible gunfire and explosion sound came over at the same time.


    At the same time, that team of allied forces also began to charge. Mud and gunpowder continued to rise around them, and some people fell to the ground in the middle, and they were killed in battle.


    Suddenly, a few charge people didn''t notice the track under their feet, and fell to the ground severely, and everyone around Yilun laughed.


    The filming on the opposite side was temporarily suspended, and he could see David Fincher seemed to be tantrum at his assistant, probably because of the problem of the extra who fell down just now.


    Irene did some research on filming, knowing that such scenes should be very expensive.


    From the flames of the explosion, to the small catapults buried in the ground, to the cost of extras, all these represent large sums of dollars.


    The filming kicked off once again. Soldiers rushed to the position of Hydra in the flames of gunpowder. The red-haired woman among them was very conspicuous, and four of the dozen or so cameras were always around her. Whether the opponent is shooting or charging, the posture is exceptionally graceful.


    This is the treatment of heroines and Hollywood superstars...


    Irene Kruger admired a few words. If there were such beautiful female officers at the time, it is estimated that the Nazis would have given up resistance long ago.


    When the filming was over, the crew immediately moved to the adjacent woods, without the need to re-lay the camera and slide rails, and another scene was filmed.


    This is also an assault scene, but the role is changed to Captain America and his roaring commando.


    Seeing the people who were preparing, including Ryan, Irene almost laughed. This team is too American, and it is simply the best description of this immigrant country.


    The dark-skinned must be black.


    He knew the Asian who was slightly shorter and holding a Thompson submachine gun. He seemed to be the guardian angel in The Matrix 2. He should be called Tiger Chen.


    The one wearing the red beret is obviously an Englishman.


    The bearded man with the m1919a ??machine gun wanted to be of Slavic origin.


    Another young actor, looks like James Barnes...


    That should be Hugh Jackman, right? Why did he appear here? Vaguely still looks like Wolverine.


    Ellen''s head turned a little and he understood. Not to mention comics, in the first episode of "X-Men" alone, Captain America and the Howling Commando were mentioned. As a member of the Howling Commando, Wolverine is not surprised to fight side by side with Steve Rogers.


    But who is that young girl with red hair? It seems very **** and beautiful from a distance...


    Of course, as a supporter of Ryan, he basically knows those actresses who often appear next to Ryan. If this girl is right, it should be Scarlett Johansson.


    At the beginning of this month. The "Princess Diary" starred by the other party has just been released in North America. Although it cannot be compared with those big productions, it has attracted a large number of teenagers like him to enter the theater. Even Disneyland and specialty stores have temporarily opened a "Princess Diary" ¡·Special Zone.


    The other party was originally born as a famous girl star, this time it became popular in North America.


    Red hair, sexy, beautiful...Iron began to recall the settings in Marvel comics, and soon got the answer.


    Is it Natasha Normanoff? Calculating the time, the opponent''s age is just right for the black widow in World War II.


    With the support of Ryan, do you really want to create a big series?


    Think of some news leaked by the media. Irene unconsciously thought of the Avengers, with Ryan''s ambition, since he won Marvel Comics, he would definitely not miss this series.


    And it''s amazing that there are so many more capable and brilliant characters. Why did Ryan choose Captain America?


    Well, his own experience is very similar to the spirit represented by Captain America.


    But after thinking about Irene, Ryan, a person destined to be brilliant, chose the brain and commander of the Avengers. It couldn''t be more normal.


    The following shooting kicked off again. Explosions, fires, and crooked trees appeared one after another, and the roaring commando was just like their names. Followed behind Captain America and charged forward, until another earth-shattering explosion and a huge fireball rose into the sky, these talents all stopped.


    The sun gradually moved to the west, and the buzzing set finally recovered. The reporters around Irun began to gather at the door of the set. He also followed. The crew will be disbanded, and the stars will also go back to the hotel in the nearby town to rest. Good luck. If you do, you can get the signatures of some of them.


    Irene gave full play to his advantage of being tall and mammoth, smashed a **** way from the crowded paparazzi and came to the forefront of the set.


    Although it must be a car that drove out after the meeting, it might not be a blessing to be able to get close to the people you like.


    "It''s out, it''s out."


    The paparazzi''s messy voice rang, "Look at Ryan and Nicole are in the same car. Some time ago, there was news that they went to China together..."


    Unsurprisingly, the speed of that car can only be described as a tortoise under the congestion of paparazzi and reporters. Yilun also knows that it is impossible to get a signature in this case. He quickly picked up the camera and pressed against the windshield. The shutter is down.


    He was very satisfied to be able to take pictures of Ryan himself.


    "Look at the car behind! Quick..."


    It seemed that something terrible had happened. The paparazzi who had surrounded Ryan''s car were all rushing to the rear.


    Yilun glanced at that side curiously. There were two people sitting on the Land Rover, a man and a woman. They looked very close, and they should be boy and girl friends.


    The man is about the same age as Ryan, who played James Barnes, while the woman turned out to be Sandra Bullock...


    Is it so popular in Hollywood? This was the last thought of Irene before returning home. (To be continued

 Chapter 542： Spiderman and Star Wars

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! For most of April, the crew of "Captain America" ??was transferred from location in Louisiana Go, because the production time is extremely tight, weekends and evenings will also be used for filming. After half a month, Nicole ended Peggy Carter''s scene and left the crew to catch up with the "The Moment" scene. Ryan followed The crew continued to move around in an effort to get the shooting done as soon as possible and move to post-production.


    Several special effects teams of Industrial Light and Magic have been following the activities of the crew. They can not only grasp the shooting situation for the first time, but also communicate with David Fincher and Ryan at any time, and start some special effects such as explosions and environments. .


    According to the established plan, David Fincher only has half a year of post-production time. For such a film, it is really nervous. He has complained a few words, but this situation is normal in Hollywood.


    During the filming process, at least dozens of reporters were chasing behind the crew. In addition to the corresponding publicity of the crew, news of "Captain America" ??would appear in prominent positions in major mainstream media every once in a while, especially It was a TV station. When the crew started filming, they also played the previous four versions of the "Captain America" ??film, playing the banner of comparison, which is regarded as a pre-warm-up for the film.


    Because of Ryan¡¯s existence, this crew has always been the focus of media attention. From the day the filming started on Universal Studios, many media have sent exclusive reporters to follow them, and some tabloids even brought him to Nicole again. Say something.


    But the effect of fried cold rice was far worse. Besides, the reaction of public opinion to this incident was far less intense than he had imagined.


    Firstly, the 911 at the time dilutes this topic; secondly, how many shocking gossips and scandals have exploded in Hollywood since the day it appeared? They are nothing more than that.


    What the media did is like treating Woody Allen and Song Yi back then, attacking and restoring calm. Except for occasional newspaper mentions, most mainstream media no longer treat it as news.


    Ryan also understands that in this matter, he was still affected by his thoughts in his previous life. This is not the entertainment circle on the other side. This is the most open and chaotic circle in North America. After 9/11, his supporters are still supporting him. He, those who oppose him are still opposing him.


    As for certain tabloids, how much influence will their comments have on mainstream voices?


    Moreover. Gossip gossip is also time-sensitive.


    This is Hollywood, and there are more fresh and eye-catching news happening every day. For example, after Sandra Bullock came to the crew to publicly explore Ryan Gosling, the siblings immediately became the headlines of many newspaper entertainment pages. The momentum immediately suppressed Ryan.


    A first-line actress in Hollywood fell in love with a lesser-known actress who was 16 years younger than herself. It was enough for newspapers to hype for a while.


    This can also be regarded as an indirect promotion for "Captain America", making this film more compelling.


    of course. Ryan is not a naive child, knowing that the gossip hype can''t actually boost the box office of many movies, and the formal publicity methods are still going on step by step.


    Leaving Louisiana, the crew went to New York and London. I took a few shots here. In fact, most of the scenes in these two cities were shot in the studio.


    The shooting continued until mid-May. When all this was over, David Fincher finally announced that "Captain America" ??was officially closed, and the actors and most of the staff could go on holiday. He will return to Los Angeles with his assistant, and after a short break, he will start more tedious post-production.


    All of these have corresponding staff responsible for follow-up. Ryan ushered in a short vacation. He first went to the 9th studio in London to check the progress of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".


    The movie was launched as early as last year. Because of Ryan¡¯s suggestion, when "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" was released in North America, the filming of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" had come to an end and is now underway. Related post-production.


    The most troublesome thing is the dubbing problem of the young actors. Many people have entered the voice change period during filming and can only wait for their vocal cords to stabilize before dubbing again.


    This work is not yet on the agenda. The agents of the little actors are negotiating with Ryan''s representatives. After they become famous, they can no longer get the previous pay.


    You know, when he starred in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone", Daniel Radcliffe''s salary was only $140,000...


    However, the main small actors have been dug into the corner by the caa and kk agencies. In addition, Ryan has already prepared. The progress between the two parties is fairly smooth, and an agreement should be reached within a short period of time.


    According to the plan, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" will be released on the Christmas file, because the first film has laid the foundation, the cost of this film has plummeted, and the production cost plus the promotional cost is only 150 million US dollars.


    In fact, most people, including Ryan, know that the bulk of the income of the "Harry Potter" series comes from the surrounding areas.


    Soon after the Oscars, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" was released from North America, and the North American box office finally stopped at $376 million.


    Subsequently, the "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" dvd discs with additional shooting highlights landed in the North American market. In just two weeks, the sales of the discs reached 150 million U.S. dollars, and the video rental also received 22.35 million U.S. dollars. Set a new record in the North American DVD and video tape market.


    This has not yet been counted as the ongoing TV copyright licensing negotiations with many TV stations such as Turner TV and Fox TV Network.


    If an agreement is reached, the TV copyright fee for this film is likely to create a new high in film history.


    The "Harry Potter" series is already on the right track. Chris Columbus mentioned to Ryan that he does not want to continue to be the director of this series. Ryan is bringing people into contact with the British director David Yates. This is his decision. The first successor.


    Things in the UK came to an end for a while, and Ryan took the newly arrived Boeing plane and returned to North America.


    Boeing delivered the modified and tested private jet in late April. After visiting, Ryan also expressed satisfaction with the Boeing staff. Bars, theaters, conference rooms and lounges are all available on the plane. This is enough for him.


    Yes, he is used to the rich life now, but not to the point of extravagance and waste.


    In fact, after 9/11, it has become more and more inconvenient to take a flight. Most capable figures in Hollywood have basically bought their own private jets.


    In North America, there is often a strange phenomenon. When the economy starts to slump, the entertainment industry will usher in a short peak.


    In the period after 2002, compared with the same period in previous years, the number of people entering theaters in the United States has increased considerably. It seems that the spiritual comfort brought by movies can help people avoid the troubles in reality.


    And a series of big productions is also an important reason for stimulating the film market.


    In this year''s summer vacation, several super-large productions will land in North American theaters successively for fierce competition. Among them, "Spider-Man" will be released first.


    The movie''s schedule was selected in May, and he was busy shooting "Captain America". Ryan did not attend the premiere.


    Because of industry and interests, "Spider-Man" has been criticized by film critics. The professional rating of imdb has been around 7 points. Even Roger Albert only gave the film just two stars. , Criticizing''Spider-Man and the Green Devil''s fight is not only not terrible and exciting, but also funny, the movie has no sense of vividness''.


    However, professional film critics and film review websites can never represent the market, and cannot represent the vast majority of movie audiences. Their influence on the film market is getting smaller and smaller.


    These can be seen from the box office of "Spider-Man".


    Compared with the general reputation, "Spider-Man" has achieved great success in business.


    The film was screened on more than 7,500 screens in more than 3,600 cinemas in the United States and Canada on May 3, 2002. The first day¡¯s revenue was more than 39.4 million U.S. dollars, an average of 11,900 U.S. dollars per cinema, setting the highest box office on the first day of release. After that, "Spider-Man" set a new box office record for a single-day movie. On May 4, it recorded more than 46 million U.S. dollars, which can surpass the single-day box office record set by "Titanic" a few years ago.


    "Spider-Man" earned more than $115 million on the first Monday, an average of $32,000 per movie theater, and it only took three days to reach the North American box office of more than $100 million.


    And Toby Maguire and Kirsten Dunst also swept away the half-red and not-black situation for many years and became the target of countless movie fans.


    Although the reputation of this film is not very good among professionals who claim to be''smart'', it is a rare masterpiece in the eyes of ordinary audiences, especially young people. Peter, who has the status of an ordinary high school student ? Parker, is simply the incarnation of the superhero of their dreams.


    Even the upside down wet kiss of Peter Parker and Mary Jane in the rain has been called the "Kiss of the Century" comparable to the "Kiss of Victory" by many people.


    In the next second week, the film was attacked by critics such as "boring, boring" and other comments, but there was no huge decline. The market once again abandoned the so-called professionals. The box office of more than 72 million US dollars was enough to guarantee the "Spider" "Xiaxia" continues to stay at the top of the box office charts.


    Although the box office fell again in the third week, the box office of nearly 50 million US dollars made the film''s North American box office more than 230 million US dollars.


    This is ninety-nine percent of the movies, which is an unattainable figure.


    From May to early June, "Spider-Man" dominated the North American film market. Even if critics who claim to be art-sighted broke their throats, a large number of audiences still went to the theater and went to the theater. They call it a popcorn movie with no artistic value.


    Of course, "Spider-Man" will not be the only target to be criticized, and it is impossible to continue to occupy the North American film market. Another more gorgeous popcorn "Star Wars Prequel 2: Attack of the Clones" will even be released.

 Chapter 543： Film critics in this industry

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please tell your QQ group this is an indisputable fact in the world. "


    "Indeed...so." Natalie nodded agreeably after wiping off the dripping coffee.


    He beckoned to Scarlett Johansson, who went to the side to remove makeup, and Ryan continued, ¡°The era when film critics influence movies is about to pass. Now is the era when commercial films on the Hollywood industrial production line dominate the world. The influence of film critics on movies The power is not as good as before, let alone to influence the market and audiences on a large scale. Film reviews alone can make a movie hit a big hit. The era when commercial movie box offices can plummet..."


    Ryan opened his hands and said, "It''s over long ago!"


    Even if this film critic is called Roger Albert. Except for the professional scope and the older generation of movie fans, the influence on the moviegoers who occupy the vast majority of the market can only be described as negligible.


    "Then they recently criticized a movie in such a high-profile way..." Natalie is a smart person and knows that the fairness of film critics is just a joke. "I want to show the existence of these people and show that they are still wrong about the film industry. Unusual influence, right?"


    "Unfortunately, it was counterproductive." Ryan shook his head and put the newspapers on the table aside. "Benefits determine the position of the butt. The influence of the film critic industry has plummeted in recent years, resulting in a sharp decline in the income of film critics. And their own interests, they will definitely make the same voice at some point to demonstrate the necessity of their existence, but they are destined to be a group to decline."


    "After that, there will be no film critics?"


    Scarlett Johansson, wearing a tight T-shirt and a short jacket, sat beside Natalie, "Will this industry disappear?"


    Ryan put a new cup in front of her and said while pouring coffee, "Of course not, because filmmakers always need film critics to wave a cheer to attract some older audiences, even if it''s only formal, even if it''s just for impact. Awards."


    Natalie curled her lips helplessly, while Scarlett shrugged, "Just like you always do?"


    Shaking his finger, Ryan didn''t answer, but looked to the side. The crew was under the direction of the deputy director, packing equipment.


    "Traditional film critics can move to the Internet." After a few words with her assistant, Natalie turned to Ryan and said, "For example, blogs."


    "My dear, the Internet belongs to the navy."


    As soon as Ryan''s voice fell, Scarlett seemed to think of something, and put down the coffee cup she was holding, "This seems to be your team''s specialty, I know."


    "Isn''t there a professional website like imdb?" Natalie seems to want to argue.


    "Let''s not talk about the professional navy on imdb."


    Knocked his finger, Ryan asked, "Which is the highest rated movie on imdb now?"


    "Sometimes "The Godfather", sometimes "Shawshank''s Redemption." Scarlett said first.


    "The Godfather" is too far away, let''s just talk about the closer "Shawshank''s Redemption". Ryan frowned slightly, recalling the market revenue related to this film. "We don''t discuss the artistry of the film, only the market. And profit."


    As if knowing that Ryan would say so, Natalie made a please gesture.


    "The movie market can be simply divided into theaters and surroundings. "The Shawshank''s Redemption" was released once in 1993, and after the Oscars in 1994, it landed on the North American theaters again. The two times received more than 28 million US dollars in box office."


    What Ryan said are the box office results of the movie in this life, and there is almost no difference from the previous life. "Although the media claimed that it was the most perfect movie in history because of the Oscar defeat, it entered the theater for the second time. Box office situation Without any improvement, obviously the cinema market is not buying it."


    "Now talking about peripherals, in the following years, it has become a big winner in the video rental market." Ryan continued, "There is also the sale of TV copyrights, which have brought a lot of income to movies, and this part of the income How many are there?"


    "It''s about 43 million dollars now." This is not a secret in the industry, Natalie has heard of it somehow.


    "In my opinion, this movie will definitely become the highest rated movie by imdb in the future, and perhaps the media will continue to call it the most perfect movie." Ryan raised a finger. In front of the two girls shook, "I am so optimistic about professional websites and professional film critics, how much do you think the peripheral income of this movie can accumulate in more than ten years?"


    "Two hundred million dollars?" Scarlett said weakly.


    "No more than 100 million U.S. dollars."


    The trajectory of this movie in this life and in the past life has not changed much. Ryan still remembers that in the data seen in the last year of the previous life, "Shawshank''s Redemption", excluding the box office of more than 28 million US dollars, has a total revenue of about 8,800. Around ten thousand dollars.


    How long did it take for the film to return to profitability?


    The production cost of the movie is $25 million. The cost of publicity and public relations will not be less than this figure, especially for the second release, without paying a certain price. Those vampire-like cinema dealers will bring a heavy prison theme back to the cinema?


    "No one can deny the artistic achievement of "Shawshank''s Redemption", and few movies can replace its position among fans who like it."


    Seeing Natalie''s lips poked, Ryan laughed, "But profession and art have never been directly related to the market. Especially today with such advanced information, the absence of a market means being eliminated by history."


    He turned the topic to the beginning again, "So. The decline of the film critic industry is unavoidable. Even Roger Albert personally cannot change it. How many audiences of the new generation care about the voice of film critics?"


    Natalie and Scarlett looked at each other, then held up the coffee cup.


    Ryan continued, "In the future, critics will be criticized for being worthless, imdb failed to pass the score, but there will be more and more movies that can be sold at the box office. After all, the audience chooses movies, rather than film critics and film critics. The website chooses movies for them."


    "I''ll categorize it for you." Natalie folded her arms and stared at Ryan with her brown eyes. "You have said so much. In fact, one sentence can summarize it. What you need is the audience''s movie tickets. , Not art and professional film reviews."


    Seeing Natalie posing as a vice-debating posture, Ryan simply looked at the girl next to her, "Scarlett, you can also express your own opinions."


    "Me?" She pointed to her chin, "OkayI can¡¯t say anything else now, I only know that "The Princess Diaries" is the biggest selling one of all my movies. It¡¯s also the most popular one, and it helped me achieve a single film remuneration of more than 10 million U.S. dollars for the first time...Oh, this is calculated together with the division, and there may be more follow-ups."


    Scarlett suddenly hugged Natalie''s arm and said with a smile, "But, I still like the role Sophia prepared for me the most."


    "Lost in Tokyo?" Natalie looked at her, Scarlett nodded, "Well, I''m probably going to Tokyo in the second half of the year."


    During the time they were chatting, the small crew had been sorted out, and after greeting, the deputy director led the team and left.


    "Let''s go to dinner." Ryan walked out of the store first, and asked Natalie next to him, "What do you want to eat?"


    "Scarlett said she is going to treat her." Natalie held Ryan very naturally, while Scarlett on the other side nodded in agreement. "Nat discussed a lot of acting with me, Ryan , You recommended me to play princess Mia. My pay and share have been paid, so I want to thank you too."

 Chapter 544： Murdoch

    "Ryan, the mashed potatoes here are very good, the taste is unique..."


    Before Natalie''s words were finished, the little blonde curly hair swallowed the food in her mouth and spoke, "It seems to have added beef sauce, Ryan, don''t you want something?"


    "Honey, do I need a copy for you?"


    Nicole, who was sitting next to the little guy, looked over and didn''t need Ryan to answer. She took the idea, beckoned to the waiter, and said, "Here is a mashed potato."


    The dinner lasted for a while, and things did not slip into the irreversible abyss as Ryan imagined. The gap between Nicole and Natalie was very obvious. Unless necessary, the two would barely talk to each other. If it weren''t for Tyler, they would probably not sit at a table to eat.


    Although watching Natalie whisper a few words to Ryan from time to time, Nicole didn''t take it to heart. After all, the two had been in friendship for ten years. If they deliberately kept a distance in front of them, that would be a problem.


    Natalie knew very well that when she grew up, especially in North Hollywood, Nicole Kidman had opinions about herself, but she was a proud person. The object of her relationship was Ryan, not him. ''S sister, and Ryan has long been fucked.


    As for Ryan, it doesn¡¯t seem to be any different from usual, and he often jokes with Tyler, but his heart is not as calm as on the surface. If Nicole and Natalie really find out, they won¡¯t quarrel at all. , I am afraid I can only make a few transparent holes in my body with the stainless steel knife in my hand.


    Perhaps greedy people should really go to hell? Despite thinking so in his heart, Ryan didn''t want to give up any of them.


    A current Oscar queen, a future Oscar queen, and a new generation of Hollywood actors who are recognized as the best acting performers. These three super acting groups really have all their strengths at this moment, and not only others can¡¯t see what they are. As far as I can think, I am afraid that I have been blinded by my acting skills.


    "How long will it take for your scene to be completed?" Put down the knife in his hand. Nicole asked Ryan.


    "Soon." Ryan also put down the tableware.


    Although there is still some time before the film is closed, the scenes belonging to Spearman are almost finished, and the scenes he is watching do not require Ryan to be present. The post-editing is enough to handle all of this.


    "Is there something going on next?" He knew very well that since Nicole asked so, there was probably something to deal with by herself.


    "Rupert Murdoch sent an invitation, I hope we will go to New York to attend his wedding early next month." Nicole flipped through her handbag and handed Ryan a very formal wedding invitation. "Also, George called and invited to the premiere of "Phantom Menace" in New York."


    As she said, her eyes drifted from Natalie''s face subconsciously, and the Long Island girl was still tasting her dinner quietly.


    "Murdoch seems to have just settled the divorce case, right?"


    This divorce case is a protracted lawsuit. Unexpectedly, he regained his singleness, and Murdoch was about to enter the palace of marriage again.


    "It is said that he was an invitation to the outside world the day after the formal divorce." Nicole frowned and said gossiping, "Just why did he choose that woman?"


    "I heard Rupert wants to enter the media industry on the other side." Ryan shook his head and said. "Over there, human relationships often play a key role."


    "He has great ambitions." Nicole sighed with emotion.


    Ambition? Ryan smiled, Murdoch in the previous life still wants to acquire Time Warner.


    "Do you think he will succeed? After all, Deng has changed his nationality." Because of Ryan''s interest, Nicole knew a little bit about there.


    "Absolutely impossible."


    If Murdoch chooses Wendi Deng to really open the door to the media industry on the other side, it is just wishful thinking.


    "Hey, Ryan, Nicole. What are you talking about? Can you say I can understand." Taylor couldn''t understand what the two men were talking about, and couldn''t help protesting.


    "I haven''t lost the jet lag, it''s time to go to rest."


    Listening to these unrelated topics, Natalie yawned a little, stood up and nodded to the other side, "Goodbye. Nicole."


    "Goodbye, Nat." Nicole also just nodded.


    ...


    In early May 1999, all the media in the United States and even the entire Western world turned their attention to a private dock in New York, a super giant in the media industry. Rupert Murdoch, the controller of News Corp, entered the marriage palace again only 17 days after the divorce agreement with his ex-wife took effect.


    The most surprising thing is that the Jewish tycoon chose a Chinese bride.


    Well, this is not too unexpected, after all, since more than a year ago, the other party has become Murdoch''s public lover.


    Is there really love between the two? Or is this the beginning of another grand strategy for Murdoch, as imagined by those on Wall Street?


    Perhaps only time and God can prove it.


    With this thought in mind, Ryan took Nicole and embarked on Murdoch¡¯s private yacht Mourning Gloria. The wedding of Wendy Deng and Rupert Murdoch will be held on the yacht. .


    "Congratulations, Rupert. Congratulations, Deng."


    After stepping onto the spacious deck of the yacht, Ryan and Nicole sent congratulations, because they just arrived back from Warsaw, they arrived late.


    "Help me entertain Nicole, I have something to discuss with Ryan."


    Even at his own wedding, this old man could not forget his ambition and empire. After watching Wendi Deng accompanied Nicole to the female guest area, he and Ryan walked to the fore deck with fewer people, "Ryan , You are the most popular movie star in Hollywood in the Far East."


    "It''s just a bit famous, and I can''t talk about the most popular." Ryan knew what the Far East meant by his mouth.


    "Remaining on a Deserted Island" entered the film market on the other side after the New Year. Compared with "Saving Private Ryan" introduced in the same period, it can only be described as rushing to the street.


    "Are you interested in cooperating?" Murdoch smiled and shook his head. If the other party is just a Hollywood superstar, where would he specifically invite him to come here.


    "Rupert..." Ryan asked tentatively, "Do you want to enter the media industry over there?"


    "Are you interested?" Murdoch turned the glass in his hand as if to remind, "That''s a market of more than one billion people."


    Ryan held his chest with one hand and pinched his chin with the other hand. The long black hair hanging over his shoulders swayed slightly with the sea breeze. It seems that we are really considering feasibility.


    In fact, he made a decision the first time Murdoch spoke about cooperation.


    Rupert Murdoch¡¯s plan is obvious, he wants to make him a figure with strong influence in the Far East. Pushed to the front desk to become the spokesperson of News Corp. His marriage to Wendi Deng is part of a huge plan, and cooperation with himself is also part of it.


    If his plan can be successful, even if the investment that he participates in the cooperation will be eaten by News Corporation, it is nothing compared to the income that can be obtained.


    The question is, can News Corp and Rupert Murdoch succeed?


    There is no doubt that Rupert Murdoch¡¯s strategies in the United Kingdom and the United States have achieved great success, but the other side is a completely different country...


    If Ryan grew up entirely from the West, he might really be excited. After all, that market is too attractive, but he knew that News Corp¡¯s plan was just wishful thinking.


    "Sorry, Rupert." Ryan put down the hand that was holding his chin and said slowly. "You know, Surprise is starting a big series. Jenkins Pictures has invested in several major productions at the same time. My funds are very tight..."


    This is true. If you only look at the income on the surface, most of the money Ryan made will soon be invested in the next plan. There is really not much liquidity.


    "That''s a shame."


    Although no intention was reached, in the past few years, the cooperation between the two parties has been quite pleasant. Murdoch patted his arm and said, "Well, I wish you all the next movies will sell well."


    Seeing the figure disappearing above the foredeck, Ryan shook his head. After a few years, News Corp. will be a big quagmire. If it involves them too deeply, it will be difficult to say that it will not affect you.


    I will have a series of plans next, and now it is better to guard the movie site.


    Moreover. China and the United States are conducting bilateral negotiations, including clauses related to the entertainment and cultural industry. He united several large companies to put pressure on the federal government in order to gain more benefits for Hollywood and himself in the negotiations.


    Although this is a wedding banquet, there is no special ceremony. Instead, it is more like a yacht social party in the upper class. Murdoch also specially let people follow Ryan and introduce him to New York celebrities.


    After meeting Murdoch''s three children, Ryan saw an interesting scene. The mother of Wendi Deng''s ex-boyfriend also attended the wedding. He had to sigh that Western-style thinking is really interesting.


    "Are there any gains?" Nicole came over with the red wine.


    "Rupert wanted me to invest in his project in the Far East, but I turned it down." Seeing Nicole''s eyes flickering, Ryan asked curiously, "What happened, Nicole?"


    "Nothing, the wind is a bit strong." Nicole found a reason casually.


    She couldn''t take the initiative to tell the guy opposite that she was stinged by the diamond ring in Deng Wendi''s hands, right?


    "Then we say goodbye to the master, UU read and go back to rest." Ryan suggested.


    "That''s okay, I haven''t come back from the jet lag." Nicole simply pulled Ryan up and walked towards the Murdoch couple.


    In the car back to the hotel, Nicole held Ryan''s arm tightly, pressed her lips and barely said anything. When the car arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, she asked, "You want to become popular with Nat. Carpet?"


    "no."


    Nicole¡¯s eyes were full of doubts. If she were the producer, she would definitely let the two people walk on the red carpet together. This is definitely a good boo for propaganda and hype.


    "Na Express is taking the exam." Ryan can only explain, "She has to review her homework, so she won''t appear at the premiere."


    Just like in the previous life, the Long Island girl refused to attend the premiere of Star Wars. As for the reason, Ryan can guess some of the reasons. Natalie would not appear in Red with him when the two people¡¯s fame is too different. On the carpet.


    This will reduce a lot of trouble for Ryan for the time being. ()

 Chapter 545： Box office contrary to word of mouth

    Because there are many common interests between the two parties, such as "American Idol", Ryan did not return to the theater, but exchanged opinions with Rupert Murdoch on some matters, and also the issue of Blue Sky Studio''s share swap. , Talked about more detailed conditions.


    Rupert Murdoch will use a premium method to replace Ryan''s shares in Blue Sky Studio with News Corp shares. Ryan also promised that he will not interfere in any affairs of News Corporation. If these shares are sold for cash in the future, The counterparty has the right of first refusal.


    In this way, coupled with the previous cross-shareholding, Ryan became a minority shareholder of News Corp.


    Of course, it is just a small individual shareholder. Rupert Murdoch will never let him enter the board of directors. Ryan himself only wants to hold shares to preserve value. He knows that the future News Corporation will be a mud puddle or be an ordinary shareholder. As well.


    The two parties have only reached a general intention, and the specific details and replacement ratio will naturally be discussed by the professionals below.


    After entering the new century, Hollywood''s film and television industry has grown in scale, coupled with related peripheral industries, and has gradually become the second largest industry in North America after manufacturing.


    The larger the scale of the industry, the more benefits it creates. Many people want to reach out and share a piece of the cake. The traditional Big Seven companies-now the Big Six companies-extremely behind-the-scenes groups, definitely want to keep the existing ones. status.


    Although there is a competitive relationship between them, they also maintain a tacit agreement on many things.


    Ryan and Murdoch have discussed this topic for a long time, unless someone who enters can acquire one of the six major companies. Otherwise, another dream factory will never be allowed to rise.


    As for the current DreamWorks, many senior people can actually see it. It won''t last long.


    Although Ryan has joined this game of Hollywood giants, it will not break the situation that existed in the previous life. This is in the interests of Disney and his interests.


    Unconsciously, the two parties talked for more than two hours. When Ryan walked out of the lounge, not only the movie screening was over, but the press conference that followed began.


    "Sorry. George..."


    When it was estimated that the press conference should be over, Ryan sat in the car and dialed George Lucas¡¯s phone, ¡°I met Rupert Murdoch and talked for a while, but I didn¡¯t expect to miss the press release. meeting."


    "It''s okay, Ryan." The voice from the other side was a little noisy. Occasionally, I can hear reporters yelling, "I don¡¯t think you will miss the next three publicity stops, do you?"


    Obviously, George Lucas also knew that it was unrealistic to let Ryan participate in all the promotional activities of the crew in North America.


    "No problem at all."


    This was communicated in advance by the two parties, and Ryan''s 20 million dollars in remuneration plus a series of shares were not for nothing.


    It didn''t take long to wait. Under the **** of bodyguards, Natalie hurried over, followed by a reluctant reporter. Ryan opened the rear door and the Long Island girl jumped into the back seat tacitly.


    He started the car for the first time. He rushed out of the parking lot, leaving only exhaust and bodyguards for reporters.


    "Did they make things difficult for you?" Ryan turned the steering wheel to the direction of the Waldorf Astoria. She glanced at the slightly tired Natalie in the rearview mirror, "What did you ask?"


    "It''s nothing." Natalie didn''t want to ask the gossip questions that reporters asked. She pointed to the road where there were more cars. "You should concentrate on driving. I don''t want to be the headline of tomorrow because of a car accident."


    "Well."


    Seeing another long line of traffic ahead, Ryan stepped on the brakes and glanced back, "Nat, it should take a while to get to Manhattan. If you are tired, you should sleep for a while."


    "Ok."


    Natalie nodded, picked up the tuxedo jacket that Ryan had thrown on the back seat, buttoned it back on her body, and slowly closed her eyes.


    An hour later, this black Chevrolet finally turned into the underground parking lot of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. There was no harassment by reporters and paparazzi. Ryan parked the car, got out of the car, opened the door of the back seat, and went to sleep. The cooked Natalie hugged her.


    Probably that short film consumed too much energy for the girl. She was sleeping very soundly at the moment, like a sleeping beauty waiting for the prince to kiss and wake up.


    Ryan hugged her and walked towards the special elevator of the presidential suite, and gently kissed her white forehead. Natalie slowly opened her eyes. Those shiny brown eyes stared at Ryan for a while. Going around, then jumped out of his arms.


    When they got on the elevator, the two went directly to Ryan''s private room on the top floor. Natalie kicked off her high heels at will and lay on the sofa regardless of her image.


    "You need a vacation." Ryan found her pajamas and sat next to Natalie. "Your nerves have been too tight recently."


    "I don''t want to be left too far behind by you. It''s hard for me to surpass your achievements in acting.


    Probably all the knots have disappeared, and Natalie brought up the previous topic again, "So, I must become an excellent director!"


    "The first female Oscar for best director?"


    After holding the lazy Natalie, Ryan took a lot of hands and feet to take off her evening gown. After squeezing the not-too-large but unusually strong place, Natalie''s eyes widened. In the eyes, she wrapped her pajamas, "This is an unprecedented honor."


    "Do you think it''s possible?" The brilliance in Natalie''s eyes was fleeting, her entire face was buried in Ryan''s arms, she bit her white shirt hard, and said muffledly, "I''m sleepy. Hold me to rest."


    Hugging the feather-light girl into the bedroom, Ryan lay with her, Natalie found the most comfortable position and fell asleep deeply.


    With her studies, shooting short films, and today''s premiere, she seemed really exhausted.


    The final production cost of "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones" is as high as 140 million US dollars, which is the most expensive one in the series that has been born, especially the special effects used, which are the same as "Lord of the Rings". The most advanced special effects technology in the world today.


    In addition, this film will also occupy a special place in film history. It is the first film to be fully digitalized from shooting to screening.


    These special meanings did not help the film win the support of the critics. The critics'' bombardment of the film became the subject of the paper media the next day.


    Roger Albert only gave the film a five-point failing evaluation, and wrote in his own column-I am not disappointed by what appears in the film, but what the film lacks, which is obvious. , Lucas pays more attention to special effects rather than performance, so the performances of the new and old actors in the film are all rigid and rigid. This is a movie without any meaning.


    Another well-known film critic, David Denby from "The New Yorker" also gave the movie a five-point rating, saying, "The Attack of the Clones is as vulgar as a B-rated film, and too many digital special effects will make People think this is a video game. The performance in the film is too amateur except for Natalie Portman. It is the worst science fiction movie in the past ten years. The box office will definitely be far lower than expected! ¡¯


    In the first week of the film¡¯s release, IMDB¡¯s rating once hovered around 6 points. If it was not a Star Wars series, it would even drop to around 5 points. The film reviews from professionals on this website were almost all negative reviews.


    "Although "Attack of the Clones" has no fatal weaknesses, it is really lackluster. The prequel of this episode should put the lens into the depths of the young Anakin''s soul and discover the transitional stage from''human kindness'' to''toward darkness'' , But Lucas filmed a love scene that lacks the most spark, and there is also an "Oedipus complex" that has no theatrical basis. The performance of the film seems to be carried out in a "vacuum" lacking a director. Relying on his own savvy and experience to perform, it even makes people wonder if Ryan Jenkins, who played Anakin Skywalker, is possessed by aliens. It is not at the previous level."


    Another IMDB online film critic wrote, "The film is not terribly bad, but mediocre to an unbelievable level, like a poem without rhyme, a song without a lingering sound."


    Subsequently, the "New Englander" issued a direct attack on the actor. "After the release of "Attack of the Clones", next year¡¯s Golden Plum¡¯s worst actor will no longer be suspenseful. Ryan Jenkins¡¯s in the film The performance is simply catastrophic, except for that handsome face and almost perfect figure, we can''t see anything worthy of praise from him."


    Of course, Ryan''s performance in it is indeed a little more casual, and there is no room for acting in this type of film and role. As for the comments on the media, it is somewhat exaggerated. Compared with the previous life, he is much better. Up.


    The movie that is most attacked by professional film critics is the love between Anakin Skywalker and Padm¨¦ Amidala that is more **** than blood...


    There is a lot of criticism in the media. If you only look at the film reviews, you will think that this is a bad super bad movie that can''t be broken, rather than the famous Star Wars series.


    However in the criticism of this film, "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones" is like "Spider-Man" released last month. With the help of the massive publicity plan, it is completely Ignoring the voices of professional film review websites and professional film critics, with the same eye-popping box office results, I gave the best response.


    The film landed in North America with 3561 theaters. It earned more than US$111 million in the first week and became another film that exceeded 100 million in the first week of this year. Even from the second week, traditional film critics once again stepped up their attacks. Firepower, but the film¡¯s box office fell by only 36%, winning over $70 million.


    Although the box office of the film in the third week fell to 40 million U.S. dollars, the fact that it exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars in three weeks seems to be the reappearance of "Spider-Man" last month.


    The ratings of the two films on professional websites can only be regarded as very average. The reputation among traditional film critics is probably not much better than bad films, but they are very popular in the market, and they even jointly ruled North America in May and June. The movie market has pushed the number of moviegoers during this period to a record high in history.


    The era of film critics calling for rain is over, even if they don''t want to admit it, even if they are still struggling. (To be continued.

 Chapter 546： May **** forgive you

    In the midst of the harassment from the media, Ryan participated in the last stop of the three-stop promotional activities promised. After those routine projects were over, he sat in the press room of the Kodak Theater, sleekly and smoothly. The reporter cleverly dealt with and waited for the end of the press conference.


    The reporter''s questions became sharper as he got to the back of the press conference. A middle-aged man with glasses and a short stature suddenly grabbed the microphone of a female reporter next to him and stood up without the host¡¯s consent. stand up.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins!" The other party was full of momentum, as if the target was Ryan himself, "I am a special reporter for the "New Yorker" and David Denby, a member of the New York Film Critics Association..."


    His voice and rhythm are so fast that he doesn''t give the host a chance to interrupt, and it is not a great thing for a Hollywood press conference.


    "I don¡¯t know if you have seen media comments on "Attack of the Clones" during this period? Most film critics think that the film is definitely not wonderful, even very mediocre. Your performance in it is also the best so far in 1990. It¡¯s a bad one. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s too much to use such a movie to face the enthusiastic support of your audience? Although the box office of the movie has passed 200 million US dollars in three weeks, don¡¯t you think this movie is not worth the ticket price? "


    He obviously hated the movie¡¯s rising box office in critics¡¯ criticism, and continued, ¡°As one of Hollywood¡¯s most outstanding filmmakers in the past decade, Ryan, you should offer more in-depth movies to the audience. Not popcorn like this."


    Ryan remained silent, waiting for the other party to continue speaking, "Since "Titanic", you have been immersed in the production of Hollywood assembly line, ignoring what kind of movies we need, precisely because of the success of your big investment. This has led to the flooding of non-connotative movies on the big screen. The audience does not need this..."


    "Mr. Denby." Ryan knocked on the microphone and interrupted the other party. "If the audience doesn''t need such a big production, where does the box office of "Titanic" come from? "Spiderman" The current box office of "Attack of the Clones" is 350 million U.S. dollars and 260 million U.S. dollars respectively. Isn''t these box offices a real reaction from the market?"


    "I know you are a very famous film critic, but! Please don''t represent the North American film audience." He added.


    Since David Denby is a well-known film critic and his head is not stupid, he immediately changed the subject, "X-Men, Spider-Man, and Mr. Jenkins, these are all your projects. These movies are simple and crude. Ignoring professional reviews completely, we are obliged to remind you that professional film reviews have a function, which is to avoid excessive commercialization of movies, so as to sell cheap fun."


    "Cheap fun? Is that really the case?"


    The corners of Ryan''s mouth curled up slightly, and a touch of sarcasm hung up. Although the other party may be standing behind a sunset industry, but since he came to the door, he must make a counterattack, ¡¡"If I remember correctly, take yours Age, I should have participated in or experienced that trial screening."


    George Lucas suddenly looked over, with a smile in his eyes, after all, that was the most lost and proud thing in his life.


    Those originally harmless sky-blue eyes suddenly became as sharp as swords. Ryan said loudly, ¡°In the spring of 1977, at a trial screening of a new science fiction movie that was about to be released, discerning professional film critics took this The''newborn'' who was about to be born put on the hat of''deadly stupid'', calling him a Gypsy whose goods are generally inferior and cheap, and directly sentenced him to death."


    Those older people gradually understood what Ryan was talking about. Those reporters who were afraid that there would be no topical hype in this world, immediately pointed their cameras at David Denby.


    Of course, Ryan will not only say half, "However, in the end, the child who was regarded as a''must die'' went on the road with the cold eyes and cold words of the film critics... Today, more than 30 years later, those who laughed at this back then.'' The children who can¡¯t live¡¯ and the cheap and inferior people never talk about it, as if those words weren¡¯t what they said, as if the cheap entertainment had really died completely."


    "Mr. Denby, do you know who the cheap entertainment and the child who is bound to die is?" Ryan didn''t need him to answer at all, and said the answer directly. "The child who was''destined to be short-lived'' was called-"Star Wars" "!"


    Anyone who knows the history of Star Wars knows what his final answer is, but Ryan did not stop and continued, "The times are advancing, and the movie will not be the same. History has told us countless times that people who do not adapt to the times, Destined to be eliminated."


    As soon as the voice fell, George Lucas was the first to clap his palms, and then everyone in the crew clapped their palms. Over this period of time, they were fed up with the anger of film critics, but because of the actor''s identity, they couldn¡¯t directly. Counterattack, Ryan''s words undoubtedly helped them take a good breath.


    starred in a movie that was very popular at the box office, and was bombarded by film critics so indiscriminately. Anyone who replaced it would be angry.


    The reporters are also applauding. They and the film critics are not a team of interests, I am afraid that the front of the two sides is not sharp enough.


    When the applause was slightly weaker, the host saw that his side had the upper hand, and directly announced the end of the press conference.


    "Ryan, the next "Lord of the Rings 2" and "X-Men 2" will be released. Aren''t you afraid that those film critics will give the movie bad reviews?"


    Entering the back lounge, Ivan McGregor seems to be worried about something, anyway, Ryan is leading the whole crew today.


    "There is no need to worry."


    Ryan took the glass from George and drank nearly half of it in one breath. Only then did he feel that the dry throat healed a lot, and continued, "I have not stopped investigating the North American film market over the years. The most important movie-watching group is between the ages of 30 and 30. Do they care about the voices of film critics?"


    "Times have changed, don''t overestimate their role." The speaker was George Lucas.


    ¡°The work of film critics has always been very easy. They don¡¯t need to take risks, but they can enjoy a higher status than those who provide their own work for them to judge. They are keen to criticize others because writers and readers feel that interesting."


    When George took away the water glass in his hand, many people gathered nearby, and Ryan did not shy away from it. ¡°The information age has come, and audiences can exchange opinions on the Internet and other places in a faster and more interesting way. The opinion of film critics is completely meaningless for this huge group. Therefore, the film critics must face the fact that in the hearts of most viewers, any bad film is more than their criticism. significance."


    For the film review industry, this is a very cruel reality, but with the changes of the times, it is destined to be unchangeable.


    With the opening of information and the increasing development of the media, movies have had more and more effective publicity channels. The situation that relied on the praise of well-known film critics did not exist as early as a few years ago, but what about film critics?


    left the movies and producers they criticized, but they were nothing.


    After entering the new century, the film industry may no longer need them, but they need the huge film machine of Hollywood.


    Ryan is not worried at all. This is just a struggle for film critics. After the release of new films produced by his company, such as the next "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers", these film critics will have to eagerly come forward. Mix it with a bite of food, and you can''t give bad reviews all without conscience. Otherwise, after the industry loses the most basic relative justice, it will not be far from being completely finished.


    Even, many of the well-known film critics will continue to accept his public relations funding to cheer for him and his films.


    To put it bluntly, film critics are also a profession and need to attract eyeballs. Just like commercial films are full of elements that attract audiences, they also need the most realistic benefits.


    only in this era, their income is shrinking sharply.


    Even if they switch to the Internet, their life is still difficult. For example, IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes have been losing money.


    Ryan and David Denby¡¯s exchange of words was quickly stabbed by the media. Even shortly after the press conference, the YUTUBE website established by Disney had related videos on it.


    Most netizens are young people. You can imagine their views on traditional film criticsFilm critics or something, just look at them. The best way is to listen to other people¡¯s film reviews and read your own. Movies, I always do. "


    This is the first message below the video. Obviously, I don¡¯t like the critics.


    There are many similar views in the back.


    "Famous film critics? David Denby? Roger Albert? The old ones are almost out of the movies!"


    "Film critics always want to eat, Ryan, please forgive them, don''t make yourself angry, I will feel bad..."


    This is obviously a female netizen.


    Of course, there is no lack of rational analysts.


    "The frustration of "Attack of the Clones" is that the first time you watch it, you will definitely feel very noisy and mentally retarded, and it is impossible for film critics to watch such a film a second time...so only Star Wars fans repeat it. Watch a movie to find out the process of Anakin''s changes, the details of the fight, the relationship between the roles, etc., and then enjoy it, enjoy it, talk about it, and have great enthusiasm for related derivative products... David? People like Denby and Roger Albert will certainly not enjoy this kind of fun."


    Many people also mentioned the dog-blood love that has been criticized by film critics.


    "Ryan is very, very handsome, Natalie is amazingly beautiful. I went to the theater five times and waited for more than two hours each time, just to watch the last shot of Anakin Skywalker and Padm¨¦ Amidala getting married. ¡­Film critics think these are vulgar and unqualified, but my friends and I like this kind of plot."


    Even a large number of people flocked to David Denby¡¯s blog and wrote some targeted comments.


    "For those film critics who are as great and noble as David Denby, may God forgive you for your ignorance!" RS

 Chapter 547： This July

    During this period of time, Walt Disney is also quietly undergoing changes. It has been more than half a year since Pixar Studios, Marvel Comics, and Jenkins Pictures have been swallowed. Although they must have experienced disputes and pains in the process, they have not caused too much internal friction, plus The three companies will retain their own characteristics to a large extent, and the integration is generally smooth. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    Especially Jenkins Pictures, in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone", with the help of Disney''s huge network, achieved super high income that has never been seen in previous movies, and the outstanding performance of its subsidiaries has also driven the entire Disney group. Performance.


    In the financial statements for the first quarter of 2002, Disney¡¯s turnover and profit margins have increased substantially compared to the same period in previous years, and even the former¡¯s increase has doubled.


    Correspondingly, the net income per share of Disney shareholders has also greatly increased, and they have also seen the promise made by Ryan.


    After Disney actually changed the surname to Jenkins, it would be more in their interests, and it has become the consensus of these people.


    Therefore, after Roy Disney, who was 72 years old, stepped down as chairman, Ryan, the number one shareholder with absolute controlling rights, naturally took over the position of chairman of the board of directors.


    Similarly, Ryan also fulfilled his promise to the Disney family.


    Roy Disney¡¯s son took over his class and became a member of the board of directors. At the same time, he re-appointed Roy Disney as the honorary director and life adviser of the board of directors to help Disney Animation Studio rebuild its glory.


    No one wants Disney Animation to be on top again than the people in the Disney family, and Disney has countless old employees. Treating people in the Disney family is definitely more conducive to internal stability.


    In the past year or so, Roy Disney¡¯s role as chairman has played more of a role in supervision and stability. After Ryan took office, in fact, there was not much difference. The president and the responsibility of specific affairs were naturally assigned to him. What he had to do was to keep abreast of the company''s decision-making. Be a corner of the triangle.


    Ryan will never let Disney reappear another Michael Eisner-style power figure.


    The ability of the current Robert Iger is beyond doubt. His previous life was his appointment, and Disney swallowed Pixar Studios and Marvel Comics. He also won Lucasfilm and became the world''s number one media group.


    Currently, he is negotiating with Apple, which is developing rapidly, and the two sides will be on the Internet and traditional media. Start a series of cooperation.


    "Oh, God¡­¡­"


    George, who was omnipotent in Ryan¡¯s eyes, finally frowned this time. Mr. Bodyguard stood in the newly renovated chairman¡¯s office and protested to Ryan, ¡°Ten years ago, I was an ordinary bodyguard. Later, he also served as your assistant. Learn to deal with film-related matters, Ryan, now you want me to be the assistant to the chairman again, this..."


    George shook his head helplessly.


    "George. I believe in you, just like you believe in me." Ryan walked up to him and patted Mr. Bodyguard''s still strong body. "I can''t deny that George, you are old and can''t be a bodyguard for a lifetime. I used to You handled those things very well, even better than the top students in the business school."


    "Lisa also needs a stable family and a husband who can be with her."


    Although interests are paramount most of the time, Ryan is very clear about who treats himself sincerely, "I still want to be an excellent godfather in the future, George, will you satisfy my wish? If I keep waiting, That would be too cruel."


    "Okay." George laughed, and he passed the information in his hand to Ryan, "I will study and try to sit in the office."


    "If you can''t learn it." Ryan turned around and threw the information on the desk, and said with a smile, "I will say to Lisa, hey, your husband is too shabby, even the assistant can''t do it well... "


    "John is very reliable, he can take over my position." George said seriously, turned and walked out.


    In fact, this assistant to the chairman who manages a team of several assistants is equivalent to his eyes at Disney. Trust is more important than ability.


    Ryan doesn''t want to be the second Roy Disney.


    Just now George sent the latest North American box office statistics. "Attack of the Clones" has gone through the fourth week after its release. Although it lost more than $25 million in the box office rankings, it sent the North American box office to the top of the box office. 280 million U.S. dollars.


    This movie, with Ryan''s joining the Star Wars, will definitely exceed the box office of "Phantom Threat."


    In the eighth week of "Spider-Man", the box office dropped to more than 8 million U.S. dollars, and the total North American box office reached more than 397 million U.S. dollars. Not surprisingly, the North American box office will exceed the 400 million U.S. dollar mark in the next few days. The first result will be the most powerful contender for this year''s box office championship.


    After experiencing the path-finder of "Blade Warrior" and the warm-up of "X-Men", the surprising superhero completely broke out on the big silver, surpassing the "Superman" and "Batman" series with the momentum of destruction. The best-selling superhero movie of all time.


    This has also caused the outside world to completely change the view of the amazing superhero, especially the more and more advanced special effects technology, which is enough to ensure that the strange abilities of the amazing hero are perfectly displayed on the big screen.


    Many people once again looked at Ryan with envious eyes. Many of them believed that the "Spider-Man" series alone could make money back from the initial investment and even make a large surplus.


    Some companies inevitably come into contact with Marvel comics tentatively and want to get a share of it. Although Ryan doesn¡¯t want to eat alone, but only a few characters who plan to sell the adaptation rights are not much influence on the series, but now they want to cooperate with him, too. Only Paramount, Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox have this qualification.


    Although there is competition between the two parties, they are alliances with more interests.


    Universal Pictures fell into the hands of Vivendi this year. Ron Meyer was on stage earlier than his previous life, and then dismissed earlier than his previous life. Because he rejected the French''s bid for Blizzard Entertainment several times, Vivendi¡¯s newly appointed Universal The management and Ryan are drifting away.


    Time Warner continues to collaborate on the Harry Potter series, and they understand the truth in moderation.


    Ryan used the shares of Blue Sky Studio to replace the shares of News Corporation, and would not consider the other party.


    As a result, Marvel Comics sold the right to adapt the "Fantastic Four" to Paramount Pictures, and at the same time gave some advice that when making a movie, you must distinguish between the priorities and don''t let some characters dominate.


    Also benefiting from Marvel Heroes is Sony Entertainment, their subordinate Samsung Columbia Pictures, which has the right to adapt the TV series according to the agreement when "Spider-Man" was withdrawn.


    After the film became popular, Columbia Pictures immediately formulated a "Spider-Man" animated series plan, and wanted to take a share of this wave.


    Although many people at Sony headquarters are very dissatisfied with Marvel''s resumption of copyright, Sony Entertainment has developed in North America for more than a decade, and it has long been known that Ryan is not the kid who competed with them in Jurassic Park.


    The other party is an authentic American. Although he has become a playboy, it does not prevent the American public from seeing him as a national hero and a representative of the American dream. If you really want to go to war with such a person, how much pressure will Sony Entertainment endure?


    Even, they will face the joint exclusion of all Jewish forces in Hollywood.


    What to do is in the interests of Sony Entertainment, in fact, there is no choice, not to mention the Hollywood record company under Disney has made it clear that it will support Sony''s new music format.


    July is the most important month for the summer vacation. The National Day holiday is often the first choice for super big productions. Among the films released before this year¡¯s **, "The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers" is definitely the highlight.


    Last year''s "Lord of the Rings" first episode has set off a magical epic, and has become popular with several movie stars. This production has been eagerly awaited by many people.


    Prior to this, both the media focusing on social news and the media focusing on the entertainment industry had their eyes on the Film School of the University of Southern California at the same time.


    After the box office of the fourth week of "Star Wars Prequel: Attack of the Clones" was released, the University of Southern California held a press conference announcing that it had received the largest donation since the school was founded.


    Ryan donated a huge sum of 100 million U.S. dollars to his alma mater, which will be donated to the University of Southern California through the Jenkins Film Foundation, of which 75 million U.S. dollars will be used to build the new teaching building of the University of Southern California Film School-this The building will be named Jenkins Building-the other 25 million US dollars will be used to fund other causes of the school.


    North America has always had a tradition of alumni donating to their alma mater. Ryan¡¯s move won praise. The mainstream media even listed his performance in the 9/11 incident and all the donations in the past, and it has become a highly sought after country in this country. hero.


    As for the gossip and lace in the past, the mainstream voices were selectively thrown aside.


    Of course Since I chose to donate, St. John''s Elementary School and Southwest California Middle School where Ryan had stayed were no exception, but the amount was much less.


    Since last year, Ryan''s personal income has risen rapidly, and the personal income tax paid is simply an astronomical figure. The establishment of a foundation for charity is the most common and easiest legal tax avoidance method here.


    Rather than handing all the money to the tax bureau, it is better to earn a good reputation for yourself.


    In a series of donation activities, Ryan never showed up. Actions are more convincing than words. This kind of thing showing in front of the media will undoubtedly backfire.


    On the day before the premiere of "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers", Ryan picked up Charlize Theron from the airport. After returning home for a vacation, the South African Diamond accompanied his mother on a global trip. He returned only recently. North America has always stayed in the mountains and forests of Canada to enjoy the natural scenery.


    Charlize Theron returned to his hometown as the new Oscar-winning actress. He was warmly welcomed by South Africa and caused considerable effects in South Africa.


    In particular, she also brought the gold brick granted by the President of South Africa. ()

 Chapter 548： Serial killer movie

    "The star of South Africa for us-Charlize Theron, a gift from South African President Mbeki."


    Back home, Ryan opened the exquisite wooden gift box. This ounce of pure gold was embedded in a piece of ore, "It is very beautiful, as beautiful as you, dear."


    "Thank you."


    Simply packed his luggage, Charlize walked to the glass showcase in the living room and placed her best actress, Golden Man, next to Ryan''s Best Actor, Golden Man.


    "Ryan, this is the best gift you gave me." She smiled very happily.


    "It''s a pity that the color is not enough."


    Holding the gold brick, Ryan walked up to Charlize, "Not as warm as it can be."


    Charlize, wearing a white and orange trousers suit, looked unusually tall, smiling very brightly. This is what she said when she received the BRICS. Even if she is not around, Ryan is always paying attention to her.


    In fact, on the night that Charlize won the best actress, South African politicians sent congratulatory messages. In an interview with reporters, South African President Mbeki publicly praised Charlize for being excellent. Her achievements are equivalent to the Nobel Prize. It is the pride of South Africa.


    An Oscar queen gave Charlize the treatment of a national idol and a national hero, and was received by Mandela. No wonder she was so happy.


    Even in addition to the ¡®South African Diamond¡¯, which came from Ryan¡¯s hands in this life, the South African media also gave her the nickname ¡®Daughter of Gold¡¯.


    All of what happened to Charlize fully demonstrated the influence of Oscar.


    This is also an important reason why so many celebrities stepped forward and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to stand on the podium.


    put the gold brick next to her little golden man, and when Ryan went to see it again, Charlize''s smile was brighter than the sun outside the villa.


    "Do you need a break?"


    Although Ryan was on a private jet, Ryan was still worried that he would be tired from the long-distance flight, but Charlize shook his head and pulled a suitcase in the luggage and found Lisa.


    She is very good at being a person. These are crafts bought from all over the world when traveling around the world. They are not worth much, but they are very distinctive. They are very suitable for giving away, especially the staff in the manor.


    "I slept all the way on the plane when I came."


    After Ryan helped her pull the luggage back to the room, Charlize was still in good spirits, pulling him to sit on the sofa, talking about the world trip with his mother, "After leaving South Africa, we went to Egypt first, and the pyramids did not imagine. So good. Later, I went to Dubai. The architecture and development there were amazing. I also went to China, but unfortunately you have already left..."


    Listening to Charlize slowly talking about the interesting things on the trip, Ryan started to make black tea for her. After sending a cup, Charlize still drank it in one drink, although the taste was only average.


    "When I was in London, the wig I was wearing suddenly fell off and was recognized."


    When Ryan went to pour black tea again, Charlize walked behind him and hugged him vigorously. "In only five minutes, more than a dozen reporters surrounded me and my mother. God, Fleet Street is nothing short of it. too crazy."


    "That''s because you participated in Dior''s activities before." Ryan turned around, pinched the towering nose, and kissed her soft red lips. "Where is your mother?"


    "Back to New York."


    After taking the tea cup in Ryan''s hand, Charlize walked to the bathroom, "I''m going to take a shower."


    "That''s all together." Ryan followed without hesitation.


    Before long, the sound of water and Charlize¡¯s singing sounded in the bathroom at the same time. The two of them first went to the bathroom, then to the bedroom, and finally to the balcony. It seemed that only this madness could vent the passion that each other had accumulated. And desire. Hope.


    Holding a familiar body and smelling a familiar smell, Charlize closed his eyes drowsily, not knowing why, the exhaustion after the **** did not make her fall asleep immediately, but some of the past happened in her mind one by one. Flashed by.


    It was a day in the early nineties. With gunshots, there was dazzling blood. Her sky was gloomy from then on. Amidst the curses of the Theron family, her mother could only take her to Europe and leave that piece of right and wrong. place.


    It was a few years later. She had to withdraw from ballet school due to a knee injury. She chose to come to Los Angeles to look for opportunities. Fortunately, she became the heroine of "Scream and Scream". She met Rui who was more like a child at that time. Yep.


    The other person''s eyes are always on the director David Finch and his friend Drew Barrymore, and they are not very enthusiastic about her. The intersection of the two seems to end here.


    However, news about Ryan is everywhere in Hollywood.


    He put his "Jurassic Park" on the big screen and created the world''s number one movie box office.


    He threw 200 million US dollars and teamed up with James Cameron to create "Titanic", breaking the world box office record.


    He bought the ugly duckling Pixar studio that no one cares about. The success of "Toy Story" put him on the throne of a billionaire.


    He was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor at the age of seventeen. Although he did not win the award, he was envied by countless people.


    He has made so many achievements, so many people can''t believe it is true.


    Until the day of filming the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, her years of hard work finally paid off...


    It was a day in March this year. She was at the pinnacle of her life. Countless cameras were only shining for her, countless hymns were only sung for her, and she became the center of the world.


    She hasn''t forgotten who it was, who personally handed her the golden figure queen; and who pushed her to the top of the actor.


    Enjoy it, Sally! This is your glorious life, your life and the name Ryan Jenkins will be closely intertwined...


    She fell asleep completely.


    "Charlie! Charlie!"


    It didn''t take long until I closed my eyes, Charlize heard Ryan''s familiar voice, and after slowly opening his eyes, he mumbled, "What time is it, dear?"


    "It''s time for dinner." Ryan squeezed her nose gently, and saw Charlize stretched out a long lazy waist, turned and walked toward the door, "I''ll wait for you on the terrace on the top floor."


    The sun fell into the sea, and a few afterglows dyed the clouds on the horizon. Looking down from the top floor of the manor on the southern **** of Beverly Hills, the City of Angels is clearly visible.


    The exquisite dishes were delivered to the terrace one by one. There were more than ten porcelain plates on the oak dining table. About ten minutes later, Charlize, who changed into a shorts and a T-shirt, moved his two amazingly beautiful long legs. Slowly walked up and sat on the opposite side.


    Although the dishes are exquisite, they are standard smorgasbord, including French, Chinese, Italian and Brazilian barbecue.


    This is just a family banquet, not so particular, comfort in eating is undoubtedly the most important thing.


    The intense exercise in the afternoon took too much energy. Ryan and Charlize had very good appetites. They didn''t talk much, they just enjoyed the food to their heart''s content, occasionally clinking glasses with each other, and then making eye contact.


    "After hearing about the Oscars, "The Devil''s Head" caused some disturbance in North America?"


    Putting down the knife and fork, Charlize picked up the napkin and wiped off the two lips stained with oil, remembering some reports he had seen in South Africa.


    "no big deal."


    Looking at the darkening sky, Ryan got up and turned on the lights on the terrace. When he walked back, he said, "It is the families of those victims who used some media to condemn the film to beautify Irene Vonos."


    "But they said..."


    After ¡¡¡¡ Ryan sat down, Charlize shook his head, "I got it all through a movie that killed their relatives."


    "Don''t care about these voices." Ryan waved his hand casually, not paying attention at all. The hype was just a few tabloids. "Some media reported that we paid Hilby and Irene Warnos a large amount. Adaptation costs, and then they started to make trouble..."


    Ryan made a gesture that you understand to Charlize.


    "They won''t be entangled, right?" Charlize understood how much effort Ryan had spent to push himself into the position of queen.


    "It''s okay." Ryan really doesn''t care, "I''ll see you in court."


    In the United States, documentary film and television works based on serial murderers have long become a major category.


    Although shooting this kind of work, some relatives of the victims inevitably feel hurt-in a way ~ www.novelhall.com ~ this is tantamount to uncovering the scarred wound again-and the relatives of the murderer are generally unwilling Shoot, because it''s tantamount to accepting another trial.


    But Hollywood producers don¡¯t care about these. They only pay attention to two points. The first is business and the second is law.


    Hollywood relies on it to make money, and if the other party stops it on the grounds of violating the victim¡¯s privacy, it is very simple. See you in court and ultimately depends on how the judge decides.


    Actually? This kind of lawsuit has hardly appeared in the United States. Even if those people appear, it is difficult to win the lawsuit, so the producers have no worries at all.


    And what Hollywood filming is Hollywood''s freedom, this concept is extremely common among Americans.


    Through "The Devil''s Head", Ryan has completely achieved his goal. Will the Americans be affected by this? What''s the matter with him?


    Besides, how many serial killer movies have been shot in Hollywood over the years? How many of them are regarded as classics?


    After these crime movies based on facts were released, a common phenomenon appeared. After almost all serial killers appeared in film and television works, people had less hatred and sympathy for them, and they had forgotten that they faced those innocent souls. , The viciousness of their actions and the insensitivity of their hearts.


    However, as long as the movie can make money without touching the bottom line of mainstream society, Hollywood producers don''t care about it.


    After a brief exchange with Charlize, she dispelled her few worries. Ryan took her down the terrace and started a routine walk after dinner. At the same time, he tried on the latest custom-made dress sent by Dior. , To prepare for the upcoming premiere of "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers". RS

 Chapter 549： Wonderful

    "Come out with me. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test"


    In the face of the hesitant King Hiurdon, Aragorn still has a strong fighting spirit, "Let''s kill it!"


    "Fight to death on the battlefield for glory!" King Hiurdon turned around and Aragorn looked at him, "For Luohan! For your people!"


    "The sun is coming out."


    After Jinli¡¯s reminder, Aragorn looked at the window, the golden sunlight was full of hope, and he remembered what Gandalf had said when he left-waiting for me to appear in the early morning five days later, looking at the east at dawn...


    His eyes gradually turned to Xiurton, and the king of Rohan regained his firmness, "Good! Good! Good..."


    Hidden¡¯s voice grew louder and louder, "The horn of the Holy Helm Hammer will ring through the Valley of the Holy Helm for the last time. This is the time when we draw our swords together and fight the enemy side by side! The killing has begun! In the name of anger and destruction , Let us **** the dawn!"


    Jin Li blew the huge horn of Horn Fort, and Luohan''s Charge horn sounded again!


    The strong orcs finally smashed through the door of the fortress. They swarmed in, wanting to completely exterminate human beings, and want to occupy Luohan country, but they were greeted by a team of Luohan hussars ready to go.


    Pulling out of Hraglim, King Hiurdon rushed out first, Aragorn and Legolas followed closely, relying on the advantage of the cavalry, they slashed all the way out of the horn fort and rushed in. Saint Helmet Valley.


    The Scottish bagpipe soundtrack representing Lohan Hussein resounded in the Shrine Theater, and the movie had come to an end.


    If a movie wants to become a classic, it must have a lens that makes people remember. In the two parts of The Lord of the Rings, there is no shortage of such scenes, such as the death of Porromir...


    The rising sun illuminated the sky and dispelled the darkness in the Valley of the Helm. Just where the sun was rising, Gandalf stood with his head in white, his white horse.


    Hope was born at this moment, and mankind ushered in the moment of decisive counterattack!


    "Knight Rohan!"


    Eomer appeared behind Gandalf. He drew his sword and swung it. Pointing at the dirty monsters in the Valley of the Helm, "Fight for the king!"


    In the ten thousand rays of light. Thousands of cavalry leaned down from the hillside like a billowing torrent, cutting into the strong orcs'' formation like a sharp blade, and a real massacre began.


    Mankind will win!


    Another memorable shot of the second part also appeared afterwards.


    Just when Frodo was slightly shaken. Sam stood up, "It''s not fair, we shouldn''t have come, but we are here, just like the wonderful stories we have heard, the great deeds praised, full of darkness and danger. Sometimes you don''t want to know the ending, because How can there be a happy ending?"


    "After so many terrible things have happened, how can this world return to the past? But in the end the terrible shadow will disappear after all. Even the darkness will disappear, a new day will come, and the sun will emit a brighter light. This is an unforgettable and touching story with extraordinary meaning.


    "Even if you are too young to understand why, but I think I understand. I understand now. The protagonists in these stories have many opportunities to give up halfway, but they don''t. They decide to go forward because they hold a belief."


    "There are countless beautiful existences in this world, it is worth fighting to the end!"


    The soundtrack belonging to the Charles sounded again. This inconspicuous hobbit now became the protagonist of the story. His light even suppressed the guru that was destined to become a classic in film history.


    "The war in Middle-earth is about to begin!"


    "The Two Towers" is just a transition from the past to the future, and the real battle will come in "The Return of the King".


    The movie is over, and the tide of applause has overwhelmed any movie this year. The "Lord of the Rings" series will inevitably write a lot of strokes in film history.


    Peter Jackson has become the focal point in the hall. Everyone knows that with the two releases, his foot has entered the ranks of Hollywood directors. If next year''s "The Return of the King" can continue to be like this Level, he will definitely become a part of it.


    Ryan smiled and looked at the New Zealand fat man. Peter Jackson seemed to have lost a lot of weight. At this time, surrounded by him were all Disney executives such as Cook Dick and Robert Iger. They congratulated him as if not. The money was fair, and it was sent over.


    "The Lord of the Rings" is now a Disney movie. For those who can create benefits for themselves, the big figures in Hollywood have never been stingy with smiling faces.


    Similarly, to win over a successful commercial film director, for these producers and distributors, represents a huge benefit.


    A Spielberg propped up half the sky of DreamWorks. If it weren''t for his frequent shots, DreamWorks might have fallen into the abyss.


    "Peter, good job!"


    When the crowd dispersed, Ryan walked over, "I believe next year''s "The Return of the King" will work miracles."


    "That''s also the miracle we have created together."


    Success in business will naturally think of honor. Peter Jackson knows that if he really wants to make a difference at the Oscars, he cannot do without the support of the producer, Ryan.


    A thumbs up to Peter Jackson, Ryan turned to him, "Orlando, you are so handsome you are so jealous, are you ready to enjoy the girl''s screaming?"


    The people around laughed at the same time, because of the extremely enthusiastic response from the previous one, the scenes of Orlando Bloom playing handsome in this one have increased a lot.


    This is a masterpiece that is even better than the previous life.


    Because of the ample production costs, Peter Jackson does not have to shy away from it. For example, the wolf generated by countless people in the previous life. The production in this movie is as lifelike as a real shot.


    To build a classic big production, sufficient funds are always an indispensable factor.


    "Shall we not go to the press conference?"


    Charlize Theron sat in the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt. "That''s... not so good, isn''t it?"


    "I am the boss of the movie."


    Squeezing that tender face, Ryan started the Bentley and looked at the rearview mirror. The bodyguards were also ready to go. They immediately stepped on the accelerator. "The reporters are all going to the press conference. Now It''s a good time to go home."


    "Well, whatever you want." Charlize asked after finishing his evening dress, leaning on the back of the chair, and waiting for the car to drive onto the road to Beverly Hills, "I heard that you had a debate with film critics some time ago. One game, will they treat this movie coldly? Or choose to ignore it?"


    "Do you think it''s possible? Honey."


    Turning the steering wheel, Ryan entered the road with less traffic, "What do you think of the movie, Charlie?"


    "Very good, Peter did better than I thought." Charlize replied seriously.


    "Our publicity is also in place." Ryan honked the car horn and passed a Cadillac. "From tomorrow, a large number of audiences will flood into the theater to watch this movie. If the critics lose their voice or go against their will. All give negative reviews, then this industry..."


    Ryan shrugged.


    Movies now do not need film critics, and film critics need hot movies to attract attention.


    The fact is also true, even if many film critics are unwilling, but for the sake of their own jobs, they still have to buy tickets to enter the theater, watch "The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers", and then send out their own film reviews as soon as possible.


    For the sake of their career, they can''t write silly, this is not a popcorn movie.


    Just like the monologue at the beginning of the first part of "The Lord of the Rings", the world has changed, and some industries are destined to gradually decline. They can only struggle hard to make the biggest voice and continue to attract people''s attention.


    "Exciting adventure film, cleverly combined special effects and computer animation, a series of breathtaking beauty. And the character called Gollum, is the most charming and simulated computer-synthesized character I have ever seen."


    Roger Albert from the "Chicago Tribune" still posted film reviews in his column in time, as he did in the past, and gave his iconic thumbs up to the movie.


    "Although the action scenes of this movie are not as many or dense as the first one, the final scene still lives up to expectations, and its posture is worth the price of the movie. This scene has the full picture of the battlefield without ignoring the details of the encounter The composition of the full-view lens can be described as majestic, allowing the audience to hold their breath; the real effect of the large amount of content in the film also makes the audience forget that these are actually computer animations."


    Even David Denby updated his blog for the first time and directly gave the movie 10 points.


    "There is no one of the most fascinating movies this year."


    "Epic battle scenes, wonderful special effects and multiple plot lines make "The Two Towers" the most exciting middle chapter in the Lord of the Rings trilogy."


    "Every line in it is very spectacular, even if you don''t know anything about the original, you will be moved by them."


    "After watching this movie we have more reasons to look forward to the final chapter, and look forward to next year''s "The Return of the King"."


    Although some film critics gave bad reviews, most of the film critics praised the film one after another, scoring nine or even very high scores.


    Regardless of what the film critics say, with the success of the first film ahead, coupled with effective publicity, "The Two Towers" has become the first choice for most movie fans to watch movies during the **Day holiday.


    The film had its premiere one day before **. Facing Taotao¡¯s audience, it successfully took over the class of "Attack of the Clones" and won a box office of $113.13 million in the first week. The summer file added another movie with a box office of over 100 million in the first week.


    This is destined to be the most popular summer vacation in recent years, and both the number of movie viewers and the box office volume have created new highs in North American history.


    At the same time, at the request of Ryan, the film was processed by imax and landed in a limited imax theater. Although it was not shot with a professional imax camera, the effect was not too good, but it also caused a lot of enthusiasm.


    The promotion of 3d and imax has a long way to go. ()

 Chapter 550： Promotion of new technology

    Because of the joint acquisition of Ryan and James Cameron, imax has sufficient funds, and the studio tyrant is also a technical madman. He has many unique ideas for the new 3d and the camera, and what he lacks is only technical support. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    With the leadership of the two of Ryan, imax has also established some cooperative relations with Sony Electronics in many aspects, which have brought technological innovations.


    The most typical one is that after several years of development, the cost of using imax''s dmr re-production technology to convert traditional movies into imax format has dropped sharply, and more and more film companies have begun to pay attention to this imaging originally used in planetariums. technology.


    Although the current imax venues are still limited, they can easily be found in capital cities such as New York and Los Angeles, as well as the capital cities of the US states.


    Strictly speaking, the first fully imax commercial blockbuster in this world is "The Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution", and "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is the second one.


    Compared to Hollywood industry insiders, imax is still unfamiliar to ordinary audiences, and its ticket price is several times that of ordinary theaters.


    The reason why the North American movie market is so prosperous is that movie ticket prices are basically not worth mentioning relative to income.


    Excessive ticket prices and limited venues limit the number of viewers of the imax version of "The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers", but those who are lucky enough to watch this version will definitely not regret the $20 ticket price. .


    Massive


    "The huge screen, the explosive sound effects, and Howard Shaw''s irritating soundtrack can only be felt in imax."


    Some fans who watched this version wrote about it on the Internet.


    At the same time, James Cameron also completed his latest work, he uses the latest camera. Go to the sinking place of the Titanic, filmed a documentary "Deep Sea Ghost", and recently completed post-production.


    Soon after the release of "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers", he notified Ryan of the news. So the two jointly invited well-known Hollywood directors and heads of major companies. I watched this work up close in the latest imax cinema in Los Angeles.


    The audio-visual effects of movies, for this era. It can be described as unparalleled.


    Of course, the current technology is not yet fully mature. When taking off the 3D glasses, Ryan clearly felt eye discomfort. There are not a few people who look around and rub their eyes gently.


    He and James Cameron jointly invited these people to come, not just to let them experience the effect up close.


    The theater is not a place to talk about things. Then everyone went to a nearby hotel. Ryan had already prepared a cocktail party, and everyone went straight to the grand banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel.


    Not many people enter here, but no matter which one. They are all heavyweights in Hollywood.


    Paramount, Sony Entertainment, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox and other film companies are almost all in charge. Director George Lucas, Tim Burton, Peter Jackson, Robert Zemikis, Steven Spielberg and other first-line directors were also present.


    After all, Ryan and James Cameron¡¯s promotion of imax technology in Hollywood is not a secret, and many people also realize that this is likely to be another revolution in the film industry.


    And those who have watched imax films before are vaguely aware. The era of special effects can no longer be stopped.


    "Because the camera is too bulky, in the whole film, only eight scenes are actually completely shot by the camera."


    James Cameron was holding a wine glass and talking in front of everyone, "But the effect after the production is complete is amazing."


    "It''s true."


    Robert Zemeckis raised his glasses to the crowd and said, "I have watched all the two converted imax movies, and they are indeed worse than the previous "Deep Sea Ghost"."


    "But the camera needs two 65mm films at the same time." Spielberg raised his eyes and frowned. "This will further increase the cost of the film, and the risk of investment will also increase."


    "There are also theaters."


    Shirley Lansing took the topic, "The cost of building an imax theater is high, and the theater will definitely have concerns."


    If imax can be easily promoted, Ryan will not spend so much effort to bring these people together. There are certainly difficulties, but the future benefits can also be expected.


    "You guys, don''t forget that compared to the trends and benefits that may be triggered in the future, the investment now is actually nothing."


    Standing next to James Cameron, Ryan finally spoke, "Presumably everyone has also seen the audience''s response to the imax version of "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers". This is far more audio-visual enjoyment than ordinary movies. The box office statistics have been released. What is the single-act box office of ordinary screens? And imax is more than ten times that."


    Ryan knows very well that interest is the best way to impress these people. "It must be clear to everyone that the population of North America has stabilized above a number over the years, and there is no significant increase in the number of moviegoers. How should the North American market be developed? Where do you look for new growth points?"


    In fact, although there are concerns, these people also know the benefits of implementing 3d and imax.


    Therefore, when Ryan walked towards the cameras and projectors placed in the banquet hall, the others followed. "3d and imax are one of our new growth points." He lightly patted the huge camera.


    The promotion of these two technologies requires a long and complicated process. Ryan did not expect Hollywood to lead the world¡¯s wave of 3D and imax within a short period of time. Movies are the most realistic way to impress ordinary audiences.


    These people who came to the reception were all busy people. After discussing the feasibility and expected prospects of promoting these two technologies in the future, most of them chose to leave.


    Of course, James Cameron¡¯s "Deep Sea Ghosts" still played a lot. When George Lucas left, he mentioned to Ryan that he would consider "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith." imaxization.


    Robert Zemeckis is more direct. He directly talked about the new movie he was going to take over, the animation "Polar Express" from Warner Investment. This animated feature film will definitely be produced in imax format.


    "Jim, how do you feel diving?" Ryan and James Cameron finally left the banquet hall.


    "Ryan, you should really go to the bottom of the sea to see that ship yourself."


    The two followed the passage and walked towards the entrance of the hotel. James Cameron talked about his biggest hobby, "The seabed is a very wonderful world. That ship has been lying on the seabed of the Atlantic Ocean for nearly a hundred years. charming."


    "If there really is a heart of the sea in the ship."


    When he walked out of the hotel first, the set tyrant got in the same car with him. After Ryan made a driving gesture to the driver, he continued the topic, "I will definitely organize people to get the boat up."


    "Then you have an endless dispute with the British side." James Cameron said of the trouble often encountered in salvaging a sunken ship.


    Ryan did not answer his topic, but asked about another thing, "Some time ago, I heard Arnold mention that you are going to dive in the Mariana Trench again?"


    "Yes." Cameron nodded and said seriously, "My goal this time is the deepest part of the Mariana Trench."


    "What about "Terminator 3"?" Ryan remembered the film company that had looked for him some time ago, "Don''t say that Twentieth Century Fox has never looked for you."


    "I declared it at the beginning." James Cameron shook his head directly, "The "Terminator" series ended in the second part."


    After that, he looked at Ryan, "Did they find you? Want you to continue to play John Connor?"


    "Yes."


    Last year, Ryan sold the "Terminator" series to 20th Century Fox in exchange. They immediately put the sequel on the agenda, "But I refused, I have work to deal with, and I will shoot "Star Wars" next year. For the third part of the prequel, there is not so much time at all."


    "Arnold agreed to continue to play t800." James Cameron sighed, "I also agreed to 20th Century Fox as the producer."


    Mass/


    This is the last time Arnold Schwarzenegger will play the leading role in a movie before running for governor. It is also a good opportunity to promote himself. He will certainly not miss it.


    After returning from New York some time ago, Ryan also participated in Schwarzenegger''s fundraising party and contributed a large amount of political donations to old friends.


    In today''s position, finding one''s own interests through some means is also a necessary choice.


    "What about your alien story?"


    The car gradually entered the range of Burbank. Ryan mentioned the script that James Cameron had been preparing, "When do you plan to start preparing You seem to be very interested?" James? Cameron couldn''t help but squeezed his chin, "Ryan, I remember you promised to invest in my next movie."


    "Of course." Ryan nodded first, and then said, "The premise is that you won''t chase me to increase investment without limit, Jim."


    "As long as I am ready, I will be the first to notify you."


    James Cameron knows that there are not many generous investors in Hollywood like Ryan. "Our cooperation has been very happy, Ryan."


    The car stopped in front of the Disney headquarters in Burbank. James Cameron pushed the door and got out of the car. He wanted to come here to discuss the release of "Phantom of the Deep".


    "I''m still waiting to continue working together, and then break the world box office record again." James Cameron closed the car door, Ryan said in a joke.


    Afterwards, the driver restarted the car and headed to Jenkins Studios a few blocks away, where Natalie had been in the editing room recently, busy with the post-production of the first short film in her life. ()

 Chapter 551： Clownfish

    Since ending the North American promotion of "Attack of the Clones", Natalie has been busy with the post-production of the short film in the editing room of Jenkins Pictures. Although it is only a 15-minute short film, the post-production is often more expensive than the shooting. More energy.


    In particular, Natalie and Scarlett have taken a total of more than 300 minutes of footage intermittently in more than two months. It is necessary to select a suitable picture from them and edit them together. It must be paid. Fan hard.


    When Ryan knocked on the door to enter the editing room, Natalie was sitting next to the filming machine to rest, and two editors were busy.


    "How much is done." Ryan picked up the coffee pot on the table, walked over to Natalie, poured out the cold coffee in her cup, and replaced the hot one. "Is it going well today?"


    "Thank you."


    After smoothing the dangling curly hair back to her head, Natalie picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, "The total progress has exceeded two-thirds. It is estimated that there will be no problem in completing it before the start of school."


    She rubbed her forehead and saw that the two editors had finished their work, and waved to them, "Molly, and Danny, come here today, thank you."


    "You''re welcome, Miss Portman." The two editors voluntarily left.


    Putting down the coffee pot, Ryan turned behind Natalie, took off her hand, put the thumb and index finger of both hands on her forehead, gently twisting, Natalie slowly closed her eyes. Seems to enjoy this moment.


    "Why are you so good today?" She whispered softly.


    "Did I treat you badly before?". Leaning over and kissing her white ears, Ryan laughed, "Time flies so fast. You will graduate from Harvard next year. Are you ready to settle in Los Angeles, Nat?"


    "There is still a year left." Natalie took Ryan''s palm, put her face in his palm, and slowly rubbed it. "I only think about one thing now, how can I complete my first short film."


    "This job is much harder than I thought." She sighed softly.


    "everything will get better."


    The palm of his hand slashed over the iconic mole, and Ryan turned to look at the neatly arranged film, and asked, "Nate, have you thought about the title of the short film?".


    "Yeah." The girl nodded and grabbed the hand that Ryan was sliding down. "The protagonist is the coffee shop waiter played by Scarlett. All the scenes will also be limited to the coffee shop, called "Coffee." ."


    "Coffee?" Ryan knew that the short film roughly used Scarlett''s eyes. Customers through the coffee shop reflected some of Natalie¡¯s perceptions of life, "mellow and bitter..."


    "Life is like coffee." Natalie stood up suddenly, threw Ryan''s hand back, packed her bag, and said, "It smells mellow and tastes bitter, but she is reluctant to give up in her hand. Every extra sugar. A spoonful of milk will bring different tastes and changes. It is difficult to find the most suitable taste, and every taste can be tolerated."


    "This is the theme of the short film?" Ryan squeezed his chin. "Sounds great."


    Natalie shrugged and opened the door of the editing room. "Let''s go next door."


    "Next door?" Ryan walked out first, unconsciously looking at the door next door. Natalie closed the door and pulled him downstairs, "Taylor is going to Pixar. It should be accompanied by Christine to see the clownfish."


    The neighbor of Jenkins Pictures is the Pixar Studio after the move. The three square buildings are connected by an air corridor. The iconic lamp at the door is the best representative of Pixar Studio¡¯s corporate culture. This is an animation and A world of free creativity.


    Even if it became a subsidiary of Walt Disney, Pixar Studios did not actually change too much. The company''s mailbox is still the original mailbox. Infringement and free creation are flooding every corner of the office building, even the company. On the sign at the door, there is no mark of Disney.


    Entering the open, playground-like staff leisure plaza, Ryan felt as if he had come to the aquarium, where dozens of huge water tanks were erected, among them are some fish belonging to the Pacific Ocean, and even a few can be seen. A small shark and a huge turtle.


    Of course, the clownfish is the most.


    Although the production of "Finding Nemo" has entered the late stage, there are still a large number of Pixar employees, either turning around here, or standing in front of a transparent water tank, concentrating on observing these underwater creatures. Every move.


    The two little girls also stood in front of a huge aquarium, commenting on the starfish and clownfish inside.


    Among them, the slightly shorter one with brown hair is Kristen Stewart. As she gets older, her tomboy appearance is gradually degenerating.


    As for the other one, the body supported by the two long legs is five feet four inches high. The long hair of honey gold is curly like a Japanese instant noodles, with a tall nose, deep sunken eye sockets and disappearing. Babies are all showing their own style, and those smart sapphire blue eyes, occasionally glancing to the side, will always flash a sly light.


    Especially those golden eyebrows, just like her character, raised high from the inside to the outside.


    Taylor has grown up, almost equal to Natalie.


    Pulling Natalie, Ryan walked to the back of the little girl. From the faint reflection in the aquarium, you could see Tyler''s bent eyes and the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that she also saw who was behind.


    "Honey, are they beautiful?" Ryan stood beside Tyler.


    "It''s okay." The little girl put her arms around her chest, tilted her head and said, "I''m not here to see them."


    "Then what are you doing here?" Ryan was surprised.


    Taylor did not answer, stepped back and stood in front of Natalie. After she was taller than the Long Island girl, her eyes almost disappeared. When Natalie smiled and pinched her face, she said, " I''m here to accompany Christine, don''t you know?".


    "Know what?" Ryan couldn''t help looking at Kristen Stewart.


    "Mr. Stanton chose me to voice Nemo." She gave the answer directly, and pointed to a clownfish in the aquarium. "So, I came here to observe their habits."


    "Originally, I also participated in the audition." Tyler grabbed Natalie''s arm and leaned forward again. "But Andrew didn''t choose me."


    "Why?" Natalie sorted her curly hair, which was a bit scattered.


    "I said my voice is too feminine, not suitable." Taylor suddenly waved a small fist. "Fortunately, it is Christine who won, otherwise I will show Andrew Stanton a good look."


    "Christine is busy now."


    Tyler was obviously more sensible than before. She looked at the quiet surroundings, holding Ryan in one hand, Natalie in the other, and shook her head to Christine, and walked towards the eating area of ??the building, "Nothing here. Suitable for talking, let''s change place."


    Walking out of the leisure plaza and entering the corridors with people coming and going, the little girl greeted some people familiarly, apparently very familiar with the people at Pixar.


    "Christine will be dubbing for Nemo in the next few months, and filming "Very Little Spy"." Taylor continued talking about the topic, "Time must be tight."


    "I will let someone adjust her schedule." Ryan rubbed Kristen''s curly hair. "Honey, you are about to become a little superhero."


    "Then I will save the world."


    Several people smiled and entered the eating area at the same time. Tyler took Ryan and sat at the table in front of the glass window, then ran to the counter with Christine, and brought four banana boats.


    "The ice cream here is very unique." She sat across from Ryan.


    "I still remember it a few years ago." Ryan helped Natalie take apart the disposable spoon. "You were still arguing about taking home all Pixar''s ice cream."


    "I was young at that time, but I''m now grown up." The little girl waved to her face, as if to forget all those past events, "I''m as tall as Nat now, I''ve grown up."


    "Grow up?" The little girl was stunned, pushed the banana boat in front of him to Ryan''s side, and quickly pulled out the notebook and pen from the bag.


    Ryan and others were stunned, not knowing what she was going to do.


    Taylor scratched the notebook for a while, and then solemnly put it into his bag.


    "Did something happen, dear?" Ryan pushed the banana boat back to her.


    "I just thought of a melody just now." Taylor picked up the spoon, took a sip of ice cream, and put it in his mouth, like a little lady. "Didn''t you say it, Ryan, when the inspiration comes, you need to write it down." , So I won¡¯t forget it.¡±


    A few people were eating and chatting Taylor and Christine''s words often brought them a joyous atmosphere, and laughter continued.


    "After finishing my music class recently, I will come here to find Christine." Taylor said of the Pixar animation results that I saw recently. "We have not only watched "Finding Nemo" which is almost finished, but also watched "Looking for Nemo". "Superman Family", although there is no dubbing and soundtrack."


    "Then which one do you think is better?" Natalie asked.


    "Of course it is "Looking for Nemo"." Christine said first, and Taylor also nodded his head. "The completed fragments of "The Superman Family" are too few. "Looking for Nemo" is Ryan''s story again."


    Then, she looked at Ryan with a grin, "This story is really peculiar. A psychologically shadowed dad, a rebellious son, and an amnesia-defying girlfriend. In order to find a son, my dad and his girlfriend started out once. The adventurous travel not only proved the greatness of family affection, but also contributed to the beginning of a love."


    "Is this your opinion?". Ryan put down the spoon.


    "Of course not." The little girl curled her lips. "This is what Mr. Andrew Stanton told me." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 552： Epic movies

    Malibu is famous for its beautiful scenery in North America. In addition to beautiful beaches and luxurious beach villas, there are also several famous private business clubs. These are often places for the rich and celebrities to relax and talk about business, as well as gathering places for many people. . Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    Among them, there is a club that belongs to Harvey Weinstein, because of the relationship between the two sides for many years, Ryan occasionally visits here.


    The green field is divided into tennis courts with floral fences. Ryan is standing on one of them, moving his feet, swinging with one hand, the yellow tennis ball easily crosses the net, and Taylor on the opposite moves his two long legs. Respond with a flexible pace and vigorously returning the ball.


    Looking at the level of the two people alone, it is not bad at the amateur level, especially Taylor. With the increase of age and the height of the body, coupled with unremitting exercise, the level improves very quickly.


    Of course, she is an underage girl after all. As long as she stalemate for a few beats, she will always be defeated, and then barked with anger.


    When there are no outsiders, Miss Swift will certainly not have a ladylike demeanor.


    "Ryan, if you continue to win..."


    After finishing the tennis skirt, Taylor threw the ball cap aside, revealing curly hair, "I have another racket for you, a table tennis racket!"


    "Okay, dear, take a break now." Ryan first walked to the rest area on the side of the court, and when Taylor came to him, he passed the towel and the functional drink one after another, "You are growing your body and can''t exercise too much. "


    "I know." The little girl nodded, wiped off the sweat from her head, and sat under the umbrella. "Fitness coaches and nutritionists have told me."


    The sea breeze could be felt here, it was not hot, and Ryan wiped the sweat off his face. Sitting next to her, "Look at the time, why is this guy Harvey so slow?"


    "It''s just been half an hour." Tyler looked at her children''s watch, sweeping with big smart eyes. Deliberately put on an adult tone. "Negotiations are not so fast."


    Then she asked curiously. "There will be a market for Chinese films in North America?"


    "Who knows." Ryan shrugged, unscrewed the energy drink bottle, and took a few sips.


    "I went to Disney to play some time ago, and I heard someone mention it." The little girl''s gossip has always been well informed. She looked at the blonde girl who was practicing on the tennis court opposite, and said, "Harvey imported a movie from China, and it was only shown for three days, and it was down because there was no audience."


    "He won''t lose money?" The little brows frowned.


    People are always close to each other. Harvey Weinstein can be regarded as an old man in Ryan''s circle. He has treated Taylor very well these years. It is normal for her to worry about it redundantly.


    Ryan laughed, "We all have experience in how to operate foreign language movies, from video tapes and other markets. We will always get the investment back."


    With the release of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" on the other side of the ocean, Huayi also launched a large-scale publicity and talent show in accordance with the prior agreement. It is said that the momentum and scale are quite good, and Ryan will naturally fulfill his promises. Their films are introduced here, trying to push them to the North American market.


    This is purely an exchange of benefits and has nothing to do with others. If the other party¡¯s movie is not popular, neither he nor Harvey Weinstein will naturally waste resources on publicity.


    "Hey Hey hey¡­¡­"


    Taylor suddenly pulled him, pointed at the tennis court opposite and said, "That girl is serving so fast, is there a hundred miles per hour?"


    Ryan also saw it. Opposite was a blonde girl who was about the same age as Taylor, with a burly figure, a big waist and a round waist. There was obviously the top strength among women in her body.


    After a series of warm-ups, she began serving practice. Her serving posture was very standard, and her speed and strength were completely professional.


    "Ryan, I can assure you." Taylor couldn''t help taking a tennis ball and tossing it in his hand. "You are definitely not her opponent."


    "My dear, it''s just the speed of the serve, I can''t catch it." Ryan grabbed the tennis ball in her hand, patted it lightly, and confessed directly, "She can go to a professional game, how could we be? What about the opponent?"


    "It''s better..."


    Those sapphire blue eyes had just turned around, and Ryan flicked on her forehead. Tyler couldn¡¯t help but glared, ¡°This will make you stupid, huh~ dear Ryan, I¡¯m sure to see Nicole, Said to Nat and Charlie, you have fallen in love with other women."


    "Hey, Alison, this is not something you should care about!" Ryan''s eyes widened, and Tyler was not afraid of him at all. "Hmph, don''t think I don''t understand what love is. Years old! Ryan, you..."


    Seeing the figure walking in the distance, the little girl immediately stopped. She would never say that her brother is not good in front of outsiders.


    "Hi, Harvey." Taylor stood up and greeted the big fat man who came by.


    If she weren''t wearing a tennis skirt and tennis shoes, she would be a standard British lady.


    "who''s that person?"


    After Harvey Weinstein sat across from Ryan, Taylor couldn''t wait to ask the blonde girl next door.


    "It should be a Russian." Harvey Weinstein looked at the other side, didn''t seem to know the name, and said indifferently, "It seems that I came to Malibu from Miami on vacation, working hard, and insisting on training every day. "


    "Taylor." Ryan said suddenly, and the little girl turned her head and looked at him curiously, "Do you know her?"


    "I don''t know." Shaking his head, Ryan said to her, "When you see Pat, let her come here to contact the girl and her family. Isn''t kk agency developing into the sports world, maybe She will be a potential stock."


    "Is that so? I''ll call her now."


    The little girl pulled out her mobile phone from her bag and dialed Pie Jinsli''s number.


    As Ryan said, the tentacles of the kk agency slowly penetrated into the sports world. Although it has not signed many big-name sports stars, it has gradually opened up the situation. And the six-foot-tall Russian **** the opposite side, if he If he didn''t admit his mistake, he should be the Russian tennis star who was extremely successful in business in his previous life.


    "How is the conversation." Ryan turned the topic back to Harvey Weinstein.


    "It''s going well." Harvey Weinstein from the box next to him. He took out a bottle of energy drink and unscrewed the lid, "They agreed to sell off the North American copyright of "Hero"."


    "The screening rights, TV rights, DVD and video tape rights, and all peripherals have all been taken down by me." He added.


    "Huayi people didn''t call you a liar?" Ryan laughed. After all, the person who negotiated with the big fat man was introduced by Huayi.


    of course. This is just a joke, Wang Zhongjun has been in the United States for many years. How can you not understand the North American film market? The film was shown in twelve theaters in North America for three consecutive days, and the total box office was only a few thousand dollars, and there was only one way to go.


    As for whether the director across from the ocean will be so angry that he will scold the liar, Hollywood will care about them?


    Huayi cooperates with Ryan here. It is entirely based on interests. They are so hard to promote the Harry Potter series because they can also benefit from a series of activities, and these people are also in contact with Ryan¡¯s team recently, wanting to put "American Idol" as soon as possible. Introduce to the other side.


    The topic between the two is naturally inseparable from the movie. After buying Miramax from Disney, the Weinstein brothers merged Weinstein Pictures with it. A new Miramax was formed, and this company has become the largest of the second-tier companies.


    Of course, Ryan is also a major shareholder.


    The highlight after the formation of New Miramax was Quentin Tastino''s latest work "Kill Bill". The film has now entered the casting stage.


    "Need a lot of Asian actors and action directors from Hong Kong?"


    After listening to Harvey Weinstein, Ryan nodded and said, "I will greet the people from the Far East Company and ask them to contact Quentin and recommend suitable candidates."


    "Is the heroine sure?" Ryan couldn''t help but think of the bride.


    "Have you chosen a recommendation?" Harvey Weinstein naturally understood what he meant. "Quentin prefers Uma Thurman. Of course, it is not impossible to replace it."


    Ryan thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "Forget it."


    Charlize may not like making action movies, but let her choose her next step.


    After chatting for a while, the sun gradually turned towards the west. Ryan waved to the other side, calling back Tyler, who was bored watching the training next door, and was about to say goodbye.


    "Ryan, I heard that you vetoed a big investment project from Touchstone Pictures?" Harvey Weinstein asked suddenly when he drove them to the parking lot.


    "Yes." Ryan took the racket bag that Taylor handed over and put it on his shoulder. "David Franzoni pitched a script for Touchstone Pictures. About the story of King Arthur, you should know that this type If you want to make well-made films, it¡¯s difficult to compress the production cost to less than 100 million U.S. dollars, and epic films..."


    He sighed, "The investment is large, the profit is small You will lose money if you make a mistake."


    "David found me again." Seeing Ryan''s judgment, Harvey Weinstein quickly made a decision. "It seems I can only say sorry to him."


    "Harvey, epic movies have entered a bottleneck."


    When he walked to the battery car, Ryan motioned to Tyler to fasten his seat belt. Then he sat in the driving position and continued to Harvey Weinstein who was sitting next to him, ¡°If you don¡¯t find another way, use other methods to attract the audience. , This genre will soon become another pirate series, especially after next year¡¯s "Return of the King"."


    The success of the "Gladiator" and "Lord of the Rings" series has stimulated major Hollywood studios. One by one, epic film projects have entered the agenda. As far as Ryan knows, Time Warner has issued more than $150 million and is advancing. "Troy" and "Alexander the Great" are two epic projects.


    Ridley Scott is also ambitious and wants to bring the story of the Crusade to the screen.


    Next year''s "The Return of the King" will bring epic films to a peak, and after the peak, there must be a trough. In addition, with such a rush of movies of the same type, what will be the result? ()

 Chapter 553： There is always change

    Hollywood is ushering in a rush of epic blockbusters. The two big projects Time Warner has identified are undoubtedly the best of them. As for how much that crazy investment can be recovered in this world, it is hard to say.


    The most likely thing is that "Alexander the Great" is terrible and "Troy" is facing a loss as in the previous life.


    Ryan remembers clearly that the latter¡¯s production cost alone was as high as 175 million US dollars in the previous life, and the total investment in the film can even exceed that of "Titanic" if the announcement cost is counted. Such a large expenditure can only be recovered. A global box office of more than 400 million U.S. dollars.


    Only by relying on subsequent TV copyright fees and long sales of discs, the money can be made back slowly.


    In addition to Disney, Warner Bros. is the most recent film producer.


    There are no secrets in this circle. Ryan heard that they not only have these two masterpieces, but they are also preparing to recreate the comic hero in view of the success of the Marvel superhero.


    With the latest news, Warner Bros. is preparing to once again put Princess Diana on the big screen. This new Wonder Woman movie is said to have been preparing the script.


    In addition, it is Superman, and they have also prepared a lot of money to rebuild the "Superman" series.


    As the second of the Big Three in comics, whether it is Princess Diana or Clark Kent, they have a wide range of supporters, even more popular than superheroes of surprise, but their movies are not easy to shoot.


    The simplest point is that surprising heroes have obvious flaws, they look closer to ordinary people, and appear on the big screen with a stronger sense of substitution, while Superman is a typical tall man...


    As for Princess Diana, if she were the only protagonist of the movie, she would beat up a bunch of men. How would male chauvinists react?


    This society is essentially a patriarchal society.


    And the last man of the Big Three, Master Bruce Wayne, since the fiasco of "Batman and Robin", Warner has postponed the series indefinitely. Can it reappear in the future? It''s really hard to tell in this world.


    Those from China Film Corporation, including China Film Group. Received a fairly warm welcome in Hollywood, and several major companies jointly organized a cocktail party. Entertain them.


    People in Hollywood are not fools, and naturally they don''t mention sensitive topics in the past. The huge potential of the Chinese market and the soaring box office numbers in recent years have made them salivate. As the other party joins, the market will inevitably open up to a certain extent, and the time for Hollywood to share the feast is not far away.


    As long as it is profitable, Hollywood doesn''t care whether the person standing opposite is black or Asian.


    As a pioneer in Hollywood, Ryan has already benefited from the other side. Although not much, it is a good start.


    Compared to "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone" which was released in China today. Compared with the previous life, due to effective publicity and other factors, the box office has increased significantly, with the total box office amount approaching 80 million yuan. Although according to the 20% sharing agreement, only millions of dollars can be obtained, it is a sum of money that does not need to pay taxes and deduct the cost of publicity.


    Moreover, with the passage of time, the profits that can be made from movies shown there have increased significantly.


    Party, work, and appropriate leisure are the themes of Ryan''s life during this time. Of course, dating with Nicole and others is indispensable. Although everyone is concentrated in Los Angeles, they silently do not break this tacit understanding.


    The office in the Disney headquarters building has also become a long-stay status for Ryan. In addition to understanding and mastering the operation of Disney, he is also dealing with other industry matters here, because George is changing roles and some personal affairs. Also turned to this side.


    In late July, Garcia Rodr¨ªguez went to the San Fernando Valley and brought two video discs that were about to be officially released and sent them to George.


    Ryan just looked at the cover and threw it aside. He had seen too much of this kind of stuff in his previous life. Even if one of the leading actors was famous a few years ago, he didn''t have any interest.


    The DVD comes from a well-known adult film company in the San Fernando Valley. Through the Cayman Islands Foundation, Scott is the de facto owner of this company.


    Last year, this company, abbreviated as ¡®t.k¡¯, bought the copyright of Gladiator from Jenkins Pictures and shot another version, and the starring actor is Tom Cruise...


    The former Hollywood superstar is now indescribable with downfall. After mixing in a B-rated film, it is difficult to even pay the interest on huge debts for the money he earned. However, his past life experience has made him a big spender. Habits, especially when surrounded by people around him, are also infected with cocaine. In addition, he has a common problem with most Hollywood stars such as alcoholism, and his financial situation has worsened.


    Although the box office of the two b-level films is not bad and has received some share, the various taxes are on the head and it is really unsustainable.


    For the mountain of debt, for more material enjoyment, for the money to exchange for cocaine, this man finally turned into the San Fernando Valley under the constant persuasion and temptation of the broker, and not only starred in the so-called historical investment The largest adult version of "Gladiator" was also driven by heavy money to shoot another blockbuster film.


    Compared to this version of "Gladiator", another adult blockbuster has attracted widespread attention since it was stabbed by the media.


    Because there are only two actors in the film, all former superstars, but one from Hollywood and the other from professional boxing.


    Hmm... the person who played the opposite role with Tom Cruise also faced huge debts. The name was Michael Tyson. The two great plays performed by these two are definitely popular among lovers of heavy tastes.


    This kind of thing didn''t attract Ryan too much interest, but when I went to Nicole''s side, he mentioned it to her and threw it behind his head.


    In fact, Nicole was right. He was never a big belly when dealing with enemies.


    There is also Michael Eisner. After losing all his positions, he sold part of Disney shares in order to repay a huge sum of up to 100 million US dollars in joint compensation. After these shares were removed, they eventually fell into the hands of Ryan and Nicole. in.


    The news was naturally spread by those with a heart. It is said that the former Disney tyrant who had a bad temper had to be admitted to a nursing home temporarily because of heart and blood pressure problems.


    "When you have the upper hand, never give your enemy a chance to breathe and turn over." This is what Ryan said to Tyler.


    Miss Swift in this life is destined to be different from her previous life. Her family, identity and status, as well as the imprints of Ryan and Nicole that cannot be erased from her body, are destined to face more complicated situations in the future.


    The hot summer vacation continues. The "Spider-Man" screening theaters have shrunk to less than 300. The North American weekly box office has not exceeded 1.5 million U.S. dollars for two consecutive weeks. After the North American box office reached 411 million U.S. dollars, the market potential Obviously exhausted.


    This superhero movie is also selling well overseas. In all regions where it is shown, it is basically the local weekly box office champion, except for the Japanese region, where superhero movies have never been bought.


    According to the market''s response and dynamics, several professional organizations predict that the global box office of "Spider-Man" should be between 800 million and 900 million US dollars.


    A sequel to such a big-selling movie will definitely be on the agenda. Surprise is currently actively planning to shoot the second one.


    "The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers", which was released for three weeks, also exceeded $200 million in the North American box office. It is not a problem to catch up with the first film, but it is difficult to surpass "Spider-Man."


    A big-selling movie can be converted into more realistic income at Disney. Although Disney¡¯s financial statements for the first half of the year have not been released, the forecast from Wall Street shows that Disney¡¯s net income in the past six months will definitely exceed the entire year of last year. The total profit.


    After Ryan took over, Disney¡¯s stock has ushered in a period of rising. Although the magnitude is not large, the overall upward trend is unusually obvious. Now the market value of the entire group company has exceeded 67 billion US dollars, which is definitely a behemoth in the media industry.


    In addition to these major productions, Touchstone Pictures has also released several small-cost series for Jenkins Pictures in the past six months, such as "Scream 4", which replaced the heroine. After Charlize''s withdrawal, the appeal of the film Significant decline, the box office only recovered a total of 35 million US dollars in costs, and profit can only rely on the surrounding area.


    There is also "Resident Evil", this sci-fi horror film produced by Jenkins Pictures, also released by Touchstone Pictures. When it was released in mid-May, despite the pressure of "Spider-Man", it only got more than 2,400 theater chains. In the first week, it won more than 31 million US dollars in the box office.


    Although the movie was only released for eight weeks , it had to be downgraded because of the $1,000 drop in the performance of the single hall, but it also took nearly $65 million in North America, and this movie is another big box office. From Japan, because the game also appeared and became popular, the overseas box office in this place alone was as high as $19.7 million.


    Because of his busy work at the time, Ryan did not go to the theater. Later, he watched the current "Resident Evil" in his private theater and saw the long-lost Alice.


    Milla Jovovich is destined to rely on this series for a lifetime.


    It¡¯s strange to say that when filming the action scene, Milla Jovovich accidentally injured Paul Anderson sitting in the director¡¯s chair, and then the ex-wife of Luc Besson quickly got into trouble with the other party. together.


    Compared with the box office, "Resident Evil", like all horror films, has a better response in the disc and video tape market. The previous series can be filmed one by one, and the income from the peripheral copyright has played a huge role. .


    With the advent of August, another major production of surprise "X-Men 2" is getting closer and closer to the release date, and the publicity offensive is also fully launched. With this craze, "Captain America" ??has also released several characters. Concept poster. ()

 Chapter 554： Dubbing and miniseries

    There are a total of four posters issued this time, divided into two versions, online and physical, involving the four main characters of the Marvel series-Steve Rogers, Peggy Carter, Logan and Natasha Norman Nove.


    Among them, Ryan, as the actor of Captain America, holds a shield in one hand and an m1911 pistol in one hand. He looks forward firmly with his faintly shining eyes, as if there is no one or anything that can shake his will and conviction.


    Wolverine appeared a little younger than in "X-Men". He was wearing a standard World War II US military uniform, with bony claws on his open hands.


    As for the other two female characters, as in all superhero movies, they are as beautiful as they are...


    In addition to the poster, the producer has also put out a resounding slogan-when the United States encounters difficulties, the leader will always be Captain America!


    The disaster caused by 911 seems to have been yesterday. The United States has been trapped in the whirlpool of terrorism. The murderer they hate the most is still at large. Captain America is undoubtedly the most suitable screen hero in this land of personal heroism.


    Once the poster was released, it received widespread attention. The media agreed that Surprise made the most sensible decision in the selection of superheroes and actors.


    Many people also left messages on the official website of Surprise and Ryan, looking forward to the movie''s early release.


    Ryan''s appeal is huge, even if he does not appear in the "X-Men" series, Surprise will not let go of the opportunity.


    When director Michael Singer was promoting the film, he claimed to reporters-"X-Men 2" also has an end credit, which involves Captain America. You must not miss the opportunity to see Wolverine and Captain America fighting side by side in advance. .


    The premiere of "X-Men 2" will be held in New York. Ryan is not going to participate. As he takes control of Disney, more and more movies will be released under his banner. It is impossible for him to have every premiere. To participate.


    What''s more, he will stay in Burbank to dub some of the pre-completed clips of "Captain America".


    "I''m Captain Rogers, did you receive it?"


    Ryan took the script, took the Mike, and looked at the plane in the screen. The soundtrack from John Williams that was added first was quite emotional, "I''m Captain Rogers, do you receive it?"


    "Steve, is that you? Are you okay?" Nicole''s voice beside her was anxious and quick.


    "It''s okay, Smith is dead." Ryan turned his head and glanced at her, Nicole still concentrated, "What about the plane?"


    "This is more difficult to explain." Ryan''s gaze returned to the script, "I want to try an emergency landing, there is no time! This plane is too fast, I must let it land in the sea."


    There is no mention of New York here, and it is inevitable to downplay the name of the city.


    "Please, Steve, don''t do this, time is still too late, we can think of other ways."


    "If I don''t act immediately, many people will surely die."


    During the preparation period of the film, the lessons of "Pearl Harbor" were fully learned, and the emotional drama would not be overwhelming. The love between Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter, although obvious, did not spill too much blood. , Did not erupt until the end, "Peggy!"


    Ryan devoted himself to the feelings of the character, "This is my choice!"


    "Peggy..."


    "I''m here."


    "It looks like I''m going to dance with you another day."


    "Okay..." Nicole''s voice was choked up, "I will be at the Stork Club next Saturday at eight o''clock. You are not allowed to be late, understand?"


    "Steve? Steve..."


    This is a dance that is destined to be impossible.


    Perhaps it was too involved. When Ryan put down the script, he saw Nicole gently wiping his eyes.


    After taking a deep breath, the emotions completely got rid of the character. Ryan first patted Nicole''s hand, and then looked at David Fincher''s place, "How is the effect?"


    David Fincher was playing back the clip just now, and after a while, he gave a thumbs up, "Very good, such a movie..."


    He shrugged, "It''s too easy for you."


    Nicole put down the script, fetched coffee from the table behind, and handed Ryan a cup, "David, are you here today?"


    "That''s it for the time being." David Fincher took off his headphones and walked over from there, "If there is still room for dubbing, I will notify you in advance."


    "Then we won''t bother you."


    Looking at Nicole, Ryan beckoned to David Fincher, and just about to leave, he remembered something else, "David, can the post-production be completed a little earlier?"


    "Time is tight, Ryan, you know." David Fincher also knew why Ryan asked, and nodded, "I can only say my best."


    "All right." Ryan opened the door and said after Nicole went out, "I will let people communicate with the Chinese side in time."


    Sino-US relations are now in a period of ascendancy. Starting this year, Disney''s strategy for China has also changed. The other party clearly felt the goodwill released here and the idea of ??seeking win-win cooperation.


    Whether it is Disney''s investment projects over there, such as Disneyland and toy factories, or the film business, progress is going well.


    In particular, after several rounds of negotiations with the China Film Group, the two parties have also reached several agreements. Some Disney-released films will try to synchronize or shorten the delay.


    "Captain America" ??has a clear anti-fascist world-wide mainstream value, and next year''s "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" has become the first to test the waters.


    If you want to gain more benefits in the film market where the speed of development on the other side can only be described as horror, all the work must be done in the front, and the first mover will definitely have the advantage.


    Even Ryan is thinking about letting Tiger Chen and some other actors do the premiere if the release date is not too long.


    Leaving Marvel Pictures, also located in Burbank, Ryan went directly to Disney, and Nicole also followed.


    "How was the later period of "The Moment"?"


    Walking into the office, Ryan made black tea while asking Nicole who was sitting behind the desk, "Is it time for the release this year?"


    "Regardless of whether the screening or the screening, it must be too late." Nicole has been busy with Drew recently with the post-production of this film. She came over and pushed Ryan aside and continued the unfinished tea making work. "Recently surprised. People from the TV station have been around me, kind of annoying."


    "Oh?" Ryan thought of something roughly, picked up Nicole''s silver jug ??filled with water, and walked to the sofa. "What are they looking for you for?"


    "Let me play in a miniseries." Nicole put down two cups and sat next to him, "God, are they crazy?"


    In Hollywood, with the exception of Jennifer Aniston, there is a clear gap between the status of popular TV drama actors and popular movie stars, and almost no first-line movie stars will star in TV dramas.


    "They want to make a miniseries about Peggy Carter as a supplement to the movie." Nicole filled two cups with black tea and handed one to Ryan. "Showing her from losing Steve Rogers to becoming The work and life of the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. during this period of time."


    "Also." She added sugar to her teacup and added, "The Samuel Jackson you were looking for promised to appear in it."


    "You refused?" Ryan knew that the big surprise plan was not only movies, but also TV series and cartoons.


    "Of course." Nicole said naturally, "I don''t have so much time to star in a series of ten episodes or more in one season."


    "Then let them find other actors."


    Not to mention Nicole, even other popular female movie stars, I am afraid that few are willing to make TV dramas.


    On the contrary, the popular TV series stars have tried every means to transform to the big screen, but few have succeeded, even if it is Jennifer Aniston, who has played so many movie roles, the only thing that can be remembered is "Friends". Rachel inside.


    In fact, not only supplementary TV series and cartoons, but new comics published by Marvel Comics are also making some appropriate adjustments based on the settings of the entire series. Although the chaotic parallel world still exists, the universe used by the movie The space, as a whole, is going in the predetermined direction.


    "Superhero movie, one is enough."


    When returning home, Nicole was still discussing surprises with Ryan. After all, it will be one of the key profitable projects in the future. "Even Wonder Woman can only exist as a vase in this kind of movie."


    "This is a necessity for commercial movies." Ryan took off his coat and hung it on the hanger in the bedroom. "Maybe it won''t take a few years. This situation will change. Commercial movies with women as the protagonist will become the market. One of the mainstream."


    "For example, this utopian novel you let someone write?" Nicole kicked off her high heels, walked to the desk, and picked up a sample book.


    "This is just a novel Ryan walked behind her, embraced her slender waist, and gently kneaded her flat belly, "It will take a few years to be adapted into a movie. "


    "Wait for the feminist movement to flourish?" Nicole''s hand slowly stretched to the rear.


    "You can say so." Of course, Ryan would not tell her. He is waiting for the heroine to graduate from college. "Now there are more and more **** and feminist movements in North America, and the world is getting more and more chaotic."


    "Movies are not like this, pastime, entertainment..."


    Nicole untied her belt very skillfully, and put her hand in, while Ryan''s hand had long since disappeared in her clothes.


    The two slowly stroked each other''s sensitive areas, as if not anxious at all, they were still talking about irrelevant topics.


    "In a few years, the movie theme of **** saving the world may also become the mainstream." Ryan couldn''t help being a little distracted. In the later years of his previous life, Hollywood movies were typically popular for foundations, and lesbians saved the world...


    Nicole shrugged, did not say anything, and devoted himself to the most primitive activities of men and women. rs()

 Chapter 555： Wealthy and celebrities

    The turquoise sky is connected to the turquoise water, and the white yacht split the calm sea surface, aroused the waves, and caused the low-altitude seagulls to fly around.


    The nearly 400-foot-long''ts'' is like an arrow from the string, far away from the California coastline. Although there are several small yachts following behind, the paparazzi on it can vaguely see the white wedding dress from the binoculars. Brides and grooms in neat dresses, but whether it¡¯s a video camera or a camera, the imaging system shows a blurry picture.


    "Rich? Is it great to have money?".


    A reporter with a telephoto camera finally gave up, hating the laser anti-photographing system to the extreme, "If this continues, our jobs will all be lost."


    "Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are engaged, think about it, how much is such a picture worth?" He unwillingly picked up the binoculars, "Our jobs are all broken."


    "No way." The reporter who rented a yacht next to him was very open. He kept looking through the binoculars and vaguely observed every move on the yacht. "Gwyneth Paltrow is Ryan''s friend and borrowed it again. His yacht is used as a place for engagement, what can we do?"


    "Why don''t we stay close to the past?" a reporter behind suggested.


    "Are you sure you want to do this?" The man put down his binoculars and said solemnly, "Think about who is the owner of that yacht? He is on the yacht now!"


    The silence on the boat was immediately restored, and everyone stopped mentioning the topic just now.


    On the top deck of the yacht, after a short ceremony, the guests came forward to send their blessings. After Spielberg passed, Ryan also walked over with Nicole.


    "Congratulations, Gwynne."


    Gently hugged the friends he had met in childhood, Ryan deliberately moved a little distance away, "You are so beautiful today."


    "Thank you!"


    Gwyneth Paltrow pursed her lips and laughed. Holding Chris Martin''s hand tightly, "Thank you again for the yacht, Ryan."


    "There is no need to be polite between us."


    After Ryan finished speaking, Nicole walked to the other side and whispered a few words softly. The two women laughed equally brightly.


    "Hello, Chris." Ryan shook hands with the lead singer of the Coldplay. Before the other party could say anything, Drew from behind came over, "Chris. We''ll hand Gwyne to you. Now, if you do something sorry for her, we..."


    With that, she turned her head back, and Taylor, Paris Hilton, Scarlett Johansson and others stood directly opposite him.


    "Throwing into the sea to feed fish is your only end."


    A group of friends of Gwyneth Paltrow issued a warning to the groom.


    Of course, this is just a joke, it''s normal for Hollywood to gather and disperse, divide and reunit.


    Then there is an indispensable engagement party. Not many people come here to participate in the ceremony. They were basically friends and relatives of both sides. After Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow cut and divided the cake, most of the people who knew each other got together and chatted together.


    "I didn''t expect Gwyne to have an engagement day." Drew stood at the forefront of the deck, holding his godfather. Raised their glasses to Ryan and Nicole on the opposite side, "I thought she would continue to be single."


    Ryan smiled and didn''t say anything. Gwyneth and Chris Martin didn''t know each other for a long time. The news of the engagement was sudden, and even Spielberg was invited on the same day as Ryan.


    "Drew, how are your preparations for your new movie?" After all, it''s just the godfather. Spielberg didn''t take up the topic just now, "What about "Charlie Angel"? Are you not going to make the next episode?".


    "The new movie I and Nicole are in production." Drew looked at Nicole who was holding Ryan, and dimples appeared on the iconic doll''s face. "The Charlie Girl is temporarily stopped and Ryan is not optimistic. The next development of kung fu movies, Flower Pictures is preparing to release a horror movie."


    "Horror movie?" Taylor and Scarlett Johansson walked over, arm in arm, the latter was obviously curious.


    Before Drew could explain, the well-informed Taylor spoke, "A plasma film shot by Darren Bousman, originally called "Born To Killer", was later changed by Ryan to "Chain Saw."


    "The movie will be released next month." Drew pulled Tyler to his side, "This will avoid the big productions."


    "The production cost of the film is only three million US dollars." Ryan added, "The promotion cost has already spent 8 million US dollars, and there will be more investment in the future. I don''t know if the box office can recover the cost."


    "You have too little confidence in Darren, right?" Drew deliberately put on an expression of dissatisfaction, "They have done miracles."


    "One miracle is enough."


    Although due to sufficient funds, the quality of the pictures and props of this movie is obviously better than that of the same name in the previous life, but this kind of movie has so many audiences in North America, and publicity and hype are just a means. Will not change the nature of the film niche, wanting the North American box office to exceed 100 million, it is just a fantasy.


    This is not a youth campus horror movie, and it is clearly different from "Reaper is Coming" and "Screaming".


    Probably it was a crowd of young people. Spielberg left soon. Just as the girls were discussing how to play with Gwyneth Paltrow, Paris Hilton was holding a stranger. The woman came over.


    The other party is about 30 years old, five feet six inches tall, with long straight brown hair, shrewd and capable face with a temperament that belongs to business women, and shows good education in terms of dressing and grooming. Walking with Paris Hilton in this way is obviously a proud socialite.


    "Hello, Ryan."


    Before Paris could introduce him, the woman offered him a hand, "I am Irene Lauder."


    "Hello, Miss Lauder..."


    "Call me Irene." The other party looked at Paris and said with a smile, "I have known Paris for many years and have always been good friends."


    "Hello, Irene." Ryan shook her hand lightly. "It''s nice to meet you."


    "Hi, Nicole, I think we''ve met a few times before." She turned to Ryan again.


    "Hi, Irene." Nicole gave a formulaic smile, "I didn''t expect you to come too."


    "Yes, Gwyneth sent me an invitation."


    This woman is obviously a good socialist, and greets everyone here politely.


    Taking advantage of this time, Nicole leaned in Ryan¡¯s ear and said, ¡°She is the creative consultant and image director of Estee Lauder, and Gwyne is now endorsing their perfume. Estee Lauder occupies the United States. One-fifth of cosmetics sales, with annual sales exceeding six billion U.S. dollars."


    Ryan didn''t know the fashion industry, so he just nodded at random. He didn''t meet Estee Lauder either. He wanted to come to the other party just to say hello.


    "Ryan, I''ve heard from Parrity. You have participated in many parties in New York." Irene Lauder greeted him in a circle, then turned back, "It''s a pity that I haven''t met you before..."


    "It''s also an honor to know you." Ryan nodded politely.


    "I also watched a movie produced by your company the other day." The other party clearly knows how to get closer. "In New York, "X-Men 2" is a very exciting movie."


    "Thank you."


    Ryan could see from the flashing eyes of the opponent, her target was Nicole beside her.


    Sure enough, she then exchanged a few words with Nicole, and gradually turned to the topic, "Nicole, I heard that your contract with Chanel is about to expire?"


    "Yes." Nicole nodded.


    "Can you be invited to become the spokesperson of Estee Lauder?". Irene Lauder tried to send out an invitation.


    "I need to think about it." Nicole obviously didn''t want to agree. After all, she has billions of dollars in wealth, and Chanel also signed a long-term contract several years ago.


    "I think we can cooperate very happily." The other party did not give up easily, Irene Lauder showed an elegant smile, "We can create a series for you, Nicole, with your name or your favorite name. name¡­¡­"


    Obviously, she also knew that it was impossible to impress Nicole in terms of money, so she simply used circuitous tactics.


    "I will seriously consider it."


    Ryan really saw the seriousness from Nicole¡¯s face, and Irene Lauder also knew how to accept it, and immediately turned the topic back to the movie side, "I haven¡¯t congratulated you yet, "X-Men 2" took it the first week. At the box office of 90 million U.S. dollars."


    "Thank you."


    This woman must have done enough homework before coming, and Ryan was so emotional.


    As in all communication, the two parties later said mostly ill-nourished words. After Nicole took the topic directly, Ryan was liberated.


    The topic of the two women gradually turned to the fashion aspect Ryan said hello and simply went to other places.


    Compared to movies, he can describe fashion as ignorance, and he doesn''t do the relevant homework like the other party.


    The movie mentioned by Irene Lauder, after landing on major theaters in North America in early August, set a weekly box office record for the premiere movie this month.


    Of course, the film was once again labeled as a Hollywood assembly line product by critics, but it still couldn''t stop the high box office numbers and the continuous crowd of moviegoers.


    Compared with the previous life, the biggest difference of this movie is the extra easter eggs at the end, which makes movie fans have more expectations for "Captain America".


    Even, many Wolverine fans are very interested in the process of Logan¡¯s bony claws turning into superalloy. They have left messages on the official website of Surprise. Surprise also revealed some news appropriately, saying that they will consider making them separately in the future. "Wolverine" movie.


    When the sun turned to the west, the yacht slowly drove back to Santa Monica''s yacht port. After all, this was just an engagement, and it was far from the moment of revelry. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 556： network platform

    In the following period of time, Irene Lauder and several Estee Lauder staff became regular customers at Disney headquarters. This kind of customers who came to the door would naturally not be launched by Disney management. After several rounds of negotiations After that, the two parties reached a series of cooperation agreements.


    For example, a+e television network and Estee Lauder¡¯s new advertising contract; for example, in Disney¡¯s fashion-related movies, Estee Lauder has priority placement rights for cosmetics ads, and so on.


    In addition, the two parties have also reached a cooperation agreement on online advertising, and Estee Lauder''s advertisements will be appropriately placed on an increasing number of users.


    Of course, the amount involved is naturally pitiful, and it can only be said that it is better than nothing.


    If yutube wants to develop at a high speed, it needs not only technology and capital, but also long-term promotion.


    After Disney signed a letter of intent for cooperation with the Estee Lauder Group, Nicole also agreed to be the spokesperson of Estee Lauder, who will recreate a new series under the name of Nicole.


    However, these will not be fulfilled until next year, after all, Nicole''s contract with Chanel has not yet expired.


    In this vanity fair, fame and fortune are the pursuit of everyone, even if you look at the whole world, how many people can escape the shackles of these two words?


    For Nicole, money is not a problem at all now. How to leave her own legend in Hollywood and even in North America is her current pursuit.


    Ryan and Natalie are also in this category.


    The cooperation with the fashion industry also reminded Ryan of the famous fashion movie in his previous life, and ordered the people below to pay attention to related fashion and workplace novels. In the feedback list, there is no "Queen Wearing Prada". Name, that can only mean that the novel has not been published yet, so keep waiting.


    Since this year, Jenkins Pictures has been negotiating the right to adapt the novel. Also gradually transferred to Disney, after all, Disney has more resources.


    The most typical one is "The Lion, the Witch, and the Magic Wardrobe". Because of Ryan¡¯s repeated success in adapting, the right to adapt has been delayed, and even attracted the prying eyes of Time Warner and Twentieth Century Fox. Fortunately, the several parties had in-depth cooperation and soon became a joint party, not giving the other party an opportunity to raise the price.


    In the end, Disney and Twentieth Century Fox jointly obtained the film adaptation rights for this series. After quitting the competition for another series, Time Warner successfully took all the copyrights of the "Golden Compass" series and wanted to create another Harry Potter series.


    "The Lion, the Witch, and the Magic Wardrobe" will not be adapted into a movie immediately. Ryan knows the pros and cons of this series, and the adaptation will definitely limit the investment that can be described as waste in the previous life.


    Speaking of novels, in mid-August, after several corrections, Ryan provided the ideas and outline, the first book of "The Hunger Games" written by Susan Collins. Published by the "Alien Body" publishing house, the novel has been publicized on a large scale in advance, especially after being named Ryan, the overall response is fairly good.


    in particular. Some well-known book critics successively published reviews and strongly recommended this book, which made the sales of this utopian novel all the way up, and even entered the top 50 of the New York Times bestseller list in the first week.


    Susan Collins, a TV screenwriter who has been unknown, also became famous in one fell swoop. At the same time began to plan the next few writings.


    As for the film adaptation, Ryan is not in a hurry, the current time and social environment are not suitable. After the shortcomings of the Patriot Act are revealed, it is the most suitable time for film adaptation, and the candidate for the heroine will not graduate from college next year.


    In addition to being deeply affected by the social environment, the massive publicity is also important for the promotion of the box office. Perhaps no one can guarantee what kind of film will be welcomed by the market, but movies without sufficient publicity will certainly not sell well.


    Those who sell movies at a low cost with a small blog, spend more than ten times or even dozens of times the cost of film production on publicity and distribution.


    Today, when information is being transmitted faster and faster, publicity is an extremely important part of a successful film.


    In the third week of August, all Disney parks around the world held a series of activities with the theme of "X-Men" as the week. The cartoon version of Wolverine, Professor X, Phoenix Girl and other characters have entered Disneyland to meet with tourists. Intimate interaction, even Captain America, who only appeared in the easter egg, became one of them with a shield in hand.


    Accompanied by all kinds of publicity activities, "X-Men 2" is quite strong at the box office, although it is incomparable with the previous "Spider-Man" and "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers", but in August this At the end of the summer vacation, there was still a wave of science fiction films.


    Three weeks later, the total North American box office of the film reached 180 million U.S. dollars.


    Although the film critics once again launched a series of attacks on the movie, they could not stop the x-men from becoming the protagonists of the entertainment market in August. The huge sales of this movie also drove the expectations of "Captain America" ??and the easter eggs at the end of the movie. Played an excellent role in driving publicity.


    Even Warner is considering whether to add this model to the end of its own superhero movies.


    At the same time, "Captain America", which has been working overtime and busy post-production, has also determined a specific release date in North America. The film will officially land in North America before the Thanksgiving holiday.


    Later, Surprise Pictures announced the news and released a trailer.


    However, this trailer was different from the platforms that appeared in the past, and it hung in the most prominent position on the homepage of the website for the first time.


    "Captain America" ??is one of the most anticipated movies in the second half of the year, and Disney also hopes to further promote this website in this way.


    Of course, the Internet is only the first to be released, and all the normal publicity of the film will be carried out as originally planned later.


    "X-Men 2" has warmed up the movie, and many people have flocked to the yutube website. Although Disney has made sufficient preparations in advance, the technology of this era is limited after all, and there was still a crash for a while.


    These can''t resist the enthusiasm of the audience to watch in advance. After all, the current social conditions in North America have made countless people start to miss the famous comic hero who once beat Hitler and fought against national terrorism.


    The trailer only lasts more than two minutes, and there are not many hot scenes, but it shows the American spirit represented by Steve Rogers everywhere.


    "Do you have to go to the battlefield? With your body. Will die there!"


    Facing the persuasion of his friend James Barnes, the thin Steve Rogers said without hesitation, "Our country is under threat, and I must do this!"


    "I value things other than the body." This was what the doctor who transformed the captain said to the colonel. He pointed to his head, "Here, Steve is stronger than everyone."


    "You must be a good person!" he said to Rogers.


    Unlike the body from thin to strong, Steve Rogers''s will and conviction in the trailer is always firm.


    Finally, the trailer uses a large font and gives a slogan that is most suitable for this era.


    "When the country is threatened. The devil appears, a hero will stand up and lead us to victory!"


    From the establishment of the film to the completion of the filming, from the producer and starring role of Ryan to the director David Fincher, from Stan Lee to the amazing screenwriter team, everyone involved in this film is working on "Captain America" Created the most typical American theme movie.


    If in the current social environment, this movie will fail, and these people including Ryan. You can jump from the Hudson River mouth, because that means the movie is so bad that it can''t be bad anymore!


    But how big is this possibility?


    After the trailer was released, the traffic soared in a short time, and the number of registered users even increased by nearly a quarter. If it is not for video technology and other issues, this number will rise rapidly.


    In order to promote, Ryan and Disney spent a lot of effort, regardless of his personal website. It''s still Disney''s official website, and the promotional slogans and links are hung in an eye-catching position.


    Ryan owns shares and voices in some websites, such as Google and Yahoo. There are links to this website.


    Moreover, the video sharing mode is also very popular among users. The biggest limitation still comes from technology, which can only be solved with the development of time and technology.


    In the past life, after the development of such video sites, the promotion of movies or celebrities completely killed Rotten Tomatoes or imdb.


    After the trailer of "Captain America", Ryan asked his management team to register users on it, and upload some tidbits of past filming movies and clips from his personal life in his name. These all attracted to a certain extent. The role of the user.


    In addition to herself, Ryan also recommended this site to Natalie.


    "Nate, your short film is finished, always look for a suitable platform."


    In the living room of Natalie''s villa, Ryan talked about the "Coffee" she had just completed, "I can''t keep it for myself to appreciate, right?"


    "Do you mean to turn the short film into a video and post it to it?". Natalie has completed the first short film in her life, of course she wants to release it through certain channels.


    "Yes." Ryan nodded.


    "Maybe this is a good way." Natalie held her pointed chin and considered it seriously.


    Ryan reminded, "The Internet is a relatively open platform, and there may be various comments. Nat, you have to be mentally prepared."


    "Do you think I care about those voices?". She is a girl with a stronger heart, and she only cares about a limited number of people.


    It is not easy to find a suitable release channel for the first short film directed by ordinary newcomers. Many well-known directors have become famous before their old works have been turned out.


    Of course, all this is not a problem for Natalie. Ryan''s original idea was to send "Coffee" to the TV station, but the high click-through rate of the "Captain America" ??trailer reminded him that the Internet might not be a better platform. . (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 557： Speech by USC

    There will be someone responsible for the conversion of the short film. Harvard University is about to start, and Natalie returned to Cambridge to start the last school year.


    The appearance of ¡¡¡¡ Ryan has had an important impact on her thoughts and life trajectory. Natalie will come to Los Angeles to settle after graduation. As for the matter of going to Jerusalem to study after graduation, I am afraid I have never thought about it.


    With the opening of various schools in North America, the most important consumer groups in the film industry-teenagers-have returned to school, and another hot summer holiday came to an end.


    Since September, those niche films or films that think they are not competitive enough have entered the theater.


    Ryan was invited to the Film School of the University of Southern California.


    "Professor Great." Ryan entered a reception room.


    Behind the familiar desk, sat a familiar tutor. After shaking his hand, Professor Grett, as one of the directors of the film school, led Ryan to the auditorium.


    Yes, he was invited back to his alma mater to give a speech.


    "Your achievements are the pride of USC."


    Before entering the auditorium of the teaching area, Professor Great suddenly stopped, "You are one of the best graduates of this college."


    "I am also proud of being a graduate of USC." Ryan said solemnly.


    "Are you ready for your speech?" Professor Great walked slowly towards the door, "I heard that some time ago, you couldn''t fight back against David Denby?"


    "I just told some facts."


    As soon as Ryan''s voice fell, Professor Great sighed, "Film critics are part of this industry."


    "I think so too." Ryan knew roughly what he meant.


    For an industry that is steadily declining, he will certainly not cast too much attention. The film critics should continue to struggle on their own.


    This is the university campus that pays the most attention to academic atmosphere. There is no welcoming and sending to that set. Ryan and Professor Great walked directly into the auditorium, and the chaotic auditorium gradually quieted down.


    However, here are all energetic young people, and the school did not deliberately create any atmosphere. Many people in the front row stood up and greeted Ryan. Some of them still had a vague impression. After all, he had graduated only a few years ago.


    This is a typical American-style auditorium. There are probably hundreds of people in it. There should be students from other colleges.


    Ryan stepped onto the podium in front of him, patted his hands gently, and the auditorium was finally completely silent.


    "It''s been a long time, everyone."


    He is not an arrogant person himself, smiled and waved to the bottom, and after the applause of the students passed, he directly talked about the topic.


    "I am also a student of this college, and I learned a lot of useful knowledge here. I know that everyone who enters the film school must come with a dream, want to enter the world''s largest film industry, want to become a famous director or Producer, is that right?"


    There was a roar of kind laughter in the auditorium.


    After the laughter subsided, Ryan simply sat down and continued, ¡°Today, I don¡¯t talk about dreams or art. In fact, everyone should have heard it. Critics have always said that I killed film dreams and art. people."


    There was a burst of laughter from the audience.


    "Maybe you will enter Hollywood next year, the next year, or the next few years. I don¡¯t need to elaborate on what Hollywood is. I just want to tell you why Hollywood leads the world. This may have some implications for your future. help."


    Dreams and art may be the driving force, but if you want to gain a foothold in Hollywood, you need something more realistic.


    "Let''s talk about a statistical figure first. By the beginning of this century, Hollywood film companies have accelerated the accumulation and concentration of capital, relying on the integration of developed capital markets and high-tech industries, improved market competitiveness, and created a global sensation in performance and results. At present, 85 percent of the film and television products being shown in the world come from Hollywood."


    "Then why did Hollywood succeed?" Ryan looked at the students below and asked.


    "Innovation?" said a female student in the front row.


    "Here is a group of people who keep working hard for their dreams." Another said.


    "What you said must be one of the reasons." Ryan laughed and continued, "In my opinion, industrialization, programmatic production mode and whole-industry marketing operation mode are the key to our success. Said Hollywood assembly line production."


    "Your future is in Hollywood. If you want to be successful in Hollywood, you must understand its mode of operation."


    Ryan doesn¡¯t talk about nihilistic art-like topics at all. His speech is more realistic, ¡°Why is this model successful? Why can¡¯t our film industry find rivals in the world?¡±


    Many students have some general concepts, but they haven''t summarized them in detail, and they looked at them curiously.


    "First of all, Hollywood has established a mature industrial operation mechanism." Ryan held out a finger to them.


    "Although we are now facing the threat of terrorism or problems of this kind, the United States is still the world''s largest country. With the development of the American economy over the years, the Hollywood film industry has matured and has experienced the cultural test of television competition and the excess of popular culture. Environmental tests have gradually formed a complete operating system of market-oriented investment models, industrialized production models, commercialized distribution models, and consumerized screening models.¡±


    "These can be said to be the basis of industrialization. On this basis, we can seek the integration of artistic rules and economic rules, cultural rules and industrial rules, and achieve the myth of Hollywood."


    Most of the students nodded lightly.


    "In the process of globalization, with the support of national advantages and commercial mechanisms, Hollywood has successively overcome various political, economic, and cultural obstacles faced by film export in different countries, and formed a set of political barriers to open up the international film market. Experience, cultural experience and business experience have established a global marketing network."


    There was no sound below ¡¡¡¡ quietly. Hundreds of students opened their eyes wide. Hollywood is close at hand to them, but there is still a layer of mist.


    "Second..." Ryan raised his second finger, "The high degree of commercialization of film and television products."


    "After decades of hard work, the derivative products of Hollywood movies will be sold all over the world along with the spread of the movie. Even the game copyrights, toy copyrights, book copyrights, and record copyrights of movie adaptations are sources of high profits. Hollywood is Turn culture into a model of merchandise through built-in advertising and image products!"


    "Desire stories, star system, film derivatives strategy are all important parts of our overall strategy."


    Speaking of this, Ryan changed the topic, ¡°The USC Film Academy is famous for cultivating qualified filmmakers. If you want to become a qualified filmmaker, these are the issues that you must pay attention to, otherwise..."


    He exaggerated, "Movies will lose money, and you will never be able to invest anymore."


    All the students made a sound of approval. This is the most basic reality of Hollywood.


    "Tell me, can I make a good movie without enough funds?"


    After ¡¡¡¡, everyone laughed.


    "Let''s talk about the last point, the cultural aspect."


    "Whether it is an art film or a commercial film, it is ultimately part of our culture. Why can Hollywood culture be universally recognized around the world? Because we are good at absorbing and integrating popular film cultures from other regions, such as ¡­Well, the kung fu movies that have been very popular in the market in recent years have gradually integrated into Hollywood action movies and have become an integral part of our action movies."


    A student brought coffee for Ryan, and he took a sip, "Thank you, it¡¯s a pure film produced by the USC Film Academy. It¡¯s been a long time since I drank it."


    Since entering this auditorium, Ryan has regarded himself as a member of USC between words and actions, which has also shortened the distance with the students.


    "Continue with the topic just now." He put the coffee on the table.


    "Hollywood absorbs the essence of the world''s film culture, removes the outdated parts, and forms a tradition of popular culture in the long-term development of the entertainment industry."


    "The whole world is saying that we have no tradition, but this is actually an advantage!"


    With a low cough, Ryan continued to talk about movies, "Hollywood movies have never been developed as an artistic creation, but as an entertainment industry There are a small number of people below. There was a look of disapproval, but more people were nodding their heads.


    "We show a series of elements that the public likes to see, such as the traumatic experience of soothing people with the rewards of good and evil, and the joy of everyone, and the stories of''Cinderella'' and''Gray Boy'' whose lovers eventually become family members. Provide collective dreams, stimulate people''s audio-visual habits with spectacle scenes and strong sound, and form the tradition of Hollywood movies'' unique dream mechanism, melodrama structure, spectacle style, sensational rhetoric, and popular narrative."


    "Decades have passed, society is changing, one generation is getting older, and another is growing up, but Hollywood has always adhered to the basic mass film model. We can use artistic films to package popular films and use popular films to promote film popularity. This makes Hollywood movies have maintained a certain degree of innovation while maintaining the mainstream, so as to adapt to the audience''s mentality of maintaining consumption!"


    "Business is an important factor in film culture. After all, film cannot be separated from the public line, otherwise there is only one way to go.


    Finally, Ryan stood up and solemnly said to the hundreds of students in front of him, ¡°Hollywood movies have conquered the world since the day the advantage was established. We need to maintain this advantage and expand this advantage, and you...¡±


    He pointed down, "You fresh blood, these Hollywood newcomers, are the guarantee for our future expansion!"


    "I''m done." Ryan picked up the coffee on the table, ignoring the cold temperature at all, and drank it like a student of film school. "Perhaps these words are not passionate, and they will not be too much for you. A lot of help, but it will always allow you to understand some of the operating mechanisms of Hollywood and how to adapt to Hollywood in the future." RS

 Chapter 558： coffee

    After leaving the film school, Ryan walked outside the USC campus. Many students took the initiative to say hello. As long as the other party''s behavior was not too outrageous, he would not refuse.


    Today, he surpasses George Lucas to become the most well-known alumni of the University of Southern California.


    Of course, he is also the alumni with the richest net worth. According to the tradition of North America, he will definitely be one of the biggest donors of USC in the future.


    When approaching the school gate, Ryan received a call from Darren Bousman, and then waited for a while, and the other party followed David and Reese from behind.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    The three guys beckoned here, and walked in front of him a few steps, "Don''t you see us?"


    "You?" Ryan pointed in the direction of the school gate, and several people walked forward together, "Could it be that you are also in the auditorium?"


    "Yes." David took the topic. "We came to send invitations to the professor. When we arrived in the auditorium, we were a little late, and we had to sit in the back."


    "No wonder I didn''t see you." Ryan nodded. With so many people in the auditorium, it''s not surprising that these three guys weren''t found.


    "Invitation?" He remembered what David had mentioned again.


    "The Chainsaw." As the director, Darren Bousman handed over an invitation. "This is yours. The instructor has agreed to participate in the premiere. Don''t say you don''t have time."


    "Chen will come over from China." Reese added.


    "Of course there is time." Ryan nodded and took it. "This is the work of the four of you. I am afraid it will be the last work. I will definitely go."


    Several people left the school gate, Darren Bousman saw a red Maserati parked not far away, and the blonde beauty in the car window, and immediately waved, "That''s it for today. Ryan, first Goodbye at the screening."


    "That''s good." Ryan also saw Charlize Theron in the car.


    He waved his hand to the bodyguard, walked quickly, opened the door of the co-pilot, and got into the car.


    "Why are you here?" Ryan fastened his seat belt.


    "Meeting with Quentin just now, coming here by the way."


    Starting the car, Charlize stepped on the accelerator, and Maseratili rushed to the west amid the roar of the motor.


    "Quentin? Quentin? Tastino?" Ryan reacted immediately, "You talked to him about "Kill Bill"?"


    "Yeah. I''ve seen the script. Very interesting character."


    Hearing this, Ryan couldn''t help looking at Charlize, making sure that it was a South African diamond. "Aren''t you not interested in action scenes?".


    "I also want to create a classic female action role." Charlize said of course.


    "But, this movie..."


    "Bloody? Black?" Charlize shrugged and said with a smile, "I have already won the Oscar, and I am not short of money. I just want to pick up the drama I am interested in."


    "It''s fine if you are happy." Ryan stopped saying anything, and Trinity''s shadow flashed through his mind, and he sighed without a trace. "What does Quentin? Tastino mean by that?"


    "An agreement has been reached."


    Since Charlize said so. Definitely get the heroine, this movie was originally an investment by Miramax.


    "I contacted Tiger. Starting from tomorrow, he will help me with targeted training."


    The car passed Mondeo Avenue. Turning on the road to the south hillside, Ryan gave her a vaccination, "Then you have to be mentally prepared. It''s very hard."


    "It''s time to work out and lose weight." Charlize stroked a hand from his belly, "I always feel that after filming "The Devil", the figure has not fully recovered."


    In essence, this is a typical b-rated film, which can only be regarded as a niche film in North America, as evidenced by the box office and audiences of previous lives.


    Some time ago, Ryan also heard Harvey Weinstein mention that "Kill Bill" has been sponsored by an open source community that has always emphasized open source and sharing. This website is the most staunch opponent of Microsoft''s closed source doctrine. As for Bill is Whoever doesn''t mention it...


    However, since Charlize is interested, Ryan will not interfere, as long as she feels happy.


    After returning home and having dinner, Charlize sat in front of the computer in the study happily. She also became one of the users. She wanted to share a video shot in the garden, which is also considered as borrowing her reputation to disguise the website. To do publicity.


    "How many people did you ask for help?"


    After receiving the juice from Ryan, Charlize flipped through the web page and said, "I have seen videos uploaded by Drew, Scarlett, Parrie and others on the website. God, and Gwyneth, she actually uploaded it. A video of an engagement... and Leon, showing off his abs!"


    "I helped them so much, and it''s normal for them to help a little." Ryan pulled another chair and sat next to Charlize.


    In the recent period, the number of users has soared, and it has nothing to do with the spontaneous help of these stars.


    The current page of the website is still very concise. The videos on the homepage are some of the hottest at present, such as the trailer for "Captain America" ??and the clips later...


    After Charlize uploaded the video, he flipped it around and found a very interesting link, a short film.


    Watching Charlize click on "Coffee", Ryan just remained silent and didn''t say anything.


    "The lighting and the picture are handled very well." She seemed to be muttering to herself, and she seemed to tell Ryan on purpose, "This is the debut of the most famous talent in Hollywood?"


    Ryan looked at the upload time, it should have been uploaded to the website today.


    After a short title, only a fifteen-minute short film kicked off, and both of them put their eyes on the screen and stopped talking.


    Manny is an ordinary girl born in Brooklyn, New York. After graduating from high school, she found a job in a coffee shop on Long Island, a business district. She sees many decent people coming in and out every day.


    The cafe is not big, but has a long history. The boss has a good temper, and he often talks about it in front of her. His father ran this cafe when he was still alive. Those who came here were all regular customers. .


    As a girl who has no academic qualifications, limited family financial conditions, and wants to have sex, Manny yearns for a decent life. After serving coffee to the customers here, they will always hide behind the counter, facing the brilliance of the sun, looking at the tall office buildings and apartment buildings, hoping to be one of them one day.


    "I want to have a beautiful desk and a computer."


    When the boss asked her why she was looking there, the girl said with a yearning, "There is still an apartment that can accommodate her."


    A simple wish is like brewing coffee.


    The glass door of the coffee shop opened and a customer walked in. After a cup of coffee, I was talking on the phone and drinking coffee, but a few minutes later, I hurried away with my office bag.


    The door of the coffee shop closed and opened again. Two middle-aged men in suits and ties came in and sat on the corner table. The atmosphere between them was not friendly. The tit-for-tat is like negotiating, until a frustration flashes across one of the faces, and the other smiles and leaves.


    Manny could not understand what they were talking about, nor could she understand what they were talking about. Just repeat the process of brewing coffee, serving coffee, and clearing the table.


    Work doesn''t make much money. Very leisurely.


    The guests she serves always come and leave in a hurry.


    She even doubted. Did these people taste the coffee she sent? Is it suffering? Still sweet?


    Just like the boss said, most of the people who come here are regular customers. Manny gradually remembered their habits. For example, a bald middle-aged person always comes over and sits for ten minutes after lunch, and orders three spoons of milk and milk. Two lumps of candy, then read the financial newspaper, finish this cup of coffee, and leave.


    And that man with a briefcase also likes to come over after lunch. He seems to be in the insurance industry. He always likes to order a cup of coffee and call customers. The coffee he wants never put sugar in.


    They will come almost every day, the error will not exceed three minutes before and after, just like a well-functioning machine.


    Then, Manny will deliver coffee that suits their taste in time according to their time and habits, just like treating other regular customers, and like a machine.


    Manny also drinks a cup of coffee during the occasional break, and the boss is pretty generous in this regard.


    At the beginning, she liked to put sugar and milk, and wanted to change the mellow and sweet taste. Later, she felt that the taste was too common. Gradually, she stopped putting sugar and milk. The bitter coffee also tasted different.


    The coffee shop door opens and closes, and the sun shines into the bright glass windows, disappears, and appears...


    Day by day, Manny¡¯s life has not changed. She has no desk, no computer, nor an apartment in an apartment building. As a waiter, the biggest leisure time is to hide in the counter and drink her coffee. , Facing the sun, looking at the tall buildings outside.


    Gradually, the bitter coffee became commonplace.


    On this day, the boss''s daughter came over to help on holiday, and Manny had more free time.


    After lunch, the bald middle-aged man and the man with a briefcase came one after another, sat in the habitual position, and started a routine busy schedule. Then Manny made coffee according to their habit, and when it was about to be served, the boss¡¯s The daughter took the initiative to take over the job.


    "Here is sugar, for the customer who reads the newspaper."


    When the boss¡¯s daughter snatched the tray Manny didn¡¯t forget to tell, ¡°There is no sugar on the other side. Call the customer.¡±


    The other party nodded solemnly, and when he walked over with his coffee, he almost collided with the oncoming boss.


    Because of the accident that didn''t happen, Manny couldn''t help but look over. Then, the boss''s daughter gave sugared coffee to the caller and unsweetened coffee to the bald middle-aged man.


    wrong!


    This was Manny''s first reaction. She stood up and walked out of the counter, just thinking about going to take back the coffee...


    The bald middle-aged man flipped through the newspaper and took his first sip, frowned slightly, but continued to taste it; the man with the briefcase took a sip of coffee and continued on the phone, as in the past, the two were doing their own things. After drinking the coffee, I opened the door and left...


    The door of the coffee shop opened and closed again, and Manny''s eyes saw only the sunlight coming in.


    The sun is shining, the buildings are tall, and the coffee smells bitter, and the customers who come and go are still in a hurry. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 559： DC changes

    The length of the short film is limited, and it has obvious practice and experimental nature. There are many flaws in it. Natalie''s directing skills are far from being proficient. Even if she is smart enough, she needs time and experience accumulation.


    To be an excellent director, talent is only a prerequisite. As a woman, it is not easy to make achievements in the director industry where men dominate.


    However, Natalie in the short film also shows the unique side of women, the treatment of light and color is delicate enough, especially the sunlight transmitted through glass doors and glass windows, will always make people produce a kind of reality and fantasy. Color is like coffee with subtle color changes and the colorful dreams of young women.


    The click rate of the short film is not very high, there are some comments below, there are praisers and critics, but these are not important, after all, this is only an experimental short film, just the first step for Natalie to become a director.


    Even greats like James Cameron and Steven Spielberg did not cause a sensation when they first picked up the guide tube.


    The next day, Natalie called. She has a clear understanding of herself. She will not change anything because of this short film. She will still go on according to the established plan. In the past six months, she has been taking care of her studies. At the same time, I will continue to shoot some things to practice hands.


    Ryan has contacted Sony Electronics, and the ordered small dedicated camera will be sent to Harvard soon.


    Why not dv? Don''t be kidding, dv and the director''s use of the camera are completely two categories, Ryan does not want to make rumors that Natalie uses dv to shoot in the future, this is something that the entire director community will despise.


    After hanging up Natalie''s phone, Ryan changed clothes and went to the practice room. Charlize was wearing a white practice uniform and was doing a warm-up under the guidance of Tiger Chen.


    "Hi, Tiger."


    Ryan said hello to Tiger Chen on the sponge cushion. He smiled at the direction, continued his work, and told Charlize some precautions.


    Because of his own experience, he is more able to adapt to Hollywood than other people from Hong Kong, and he also knows how to actively integrate into Hollywood. After several action movies, coupled with the support of Jenkins Pictures, he has also gained fame.


    Most importantly, he saw the inevitable decline of Kung Fu movies in North America, in the recent action movies he directed. Gradually abandoned the limitations of Kung Fu, in order to more adapt to Hollywood.


    Coming to the treadmill on one side, Ryan was jogging while looking at Charlize over there.


    South Africa Diamond has long-term modelling and ballet training, such as the one-character stretch of the body, basically can not be difficult for her, that tall body is flexible enough.


    Because it was only the first practice, Tiger Chen finished the class only half an hour later. Practice should always be done step by step.


    "Charlie''s basic conditions are very good."


    Turning off the treadmill, Ryan walked to the rest area with the two of them. Tiger Chen took the energy drink that Charlize handed over and sat opposite them. "I heard the master talk about the style of this movie. Although Director Tastino wants to shoot in the style of Director Zhang Che, the actors..."


    He smiled, "It can only be similar. So, based on Charlie, training won''t be difficult."


    "Your knee has been injured before."


    See Charlize sitting next to him. Ryan urged, "Be careful, I have already notified Quentin."


    "It''s not that serious." Charlize waved his hand indifferently.


    "Master and I will pay attention." Yuan Hepinghui is the action director of this movie.


    The tiger Chen was sent away. Ryan returned to the treadmill and sighed slightly. Charlize pulled a mat over and did some moderate leg presses.


    "Anything bothering you?" She obviously heard Ryan''s sigh.


    "Nothing, work-related matters."


    Seeing Charlize''s probing eyes, Ryan slowed down the speed of the treadmill, and simply explained, "Originally, if I could try to achieve simultaneous releases, I planned to let Tiger take some actors to China for the premiere."


    "Didn''t the Far East Company have been talking with China..." She thought for a moment, "Do you negotiate with China Film Group?".


    "There are other institutions above them."


    He made a scissors gesture, and Ryan didn''t explain it in detail. He just said, "Before Thanksgiving, it is impossible for the movie to pass the approval of the other government agency. It can only be postponed."


    "That''s fine, you can go to the premiere again." Charlize curled his lips deliberately.


    Ryan simply turned off the treadmill, jumped down and walked over, grabbed her tall nose, and said in Charlize''s dissatisfied grunt, "Come here today, pay attention to your knees."


    "I''m not that vulnerable."


    Even so, Charlize followed Ryan and left the gym.


    Due to various reasons such as approval, "Captain America" ??is determined to be unable to achieve simultaneous release on both sides of the Pacific. Currently, Bowei Pictures, as the distributor, is working hard in various English-speaking regions to make this film appear in overseas markets as soon as possible. .


    The negotiations between Disney Far East and China Film Group are far from over. The focus is on next year¡¯s "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King". The post-production of this film has come to an end, and it can be sent to the other side before the new year. Approval, as for how many times the shears will move, that is not what they can intervene.


    This year¡¯s summer vacation has experienced unprecedented popularity. After the popularity, the market temperature has naturally plummeted. After the North American box office of "X-Men 2" exceeded 200 million US dollars, the growth rate has become extremely slow, and the focus of surprise has gradually shifted to " In the propaganda of Captain America, there have been a succession of early momentum-building activities.


    I won¡¯t talk about the routine Marvel Heroes¡¯ ability competition. Steve Rogers¡¯ abilities are not outstanding among Marvel Heroes, but faith and will are definitely not considered as a second person.


    On the Disney TV station, the past "Captain America" ??cartoons are on the screen again, and the TV station has also begun to plan a new round of "Captain America" ??old movies, the oldest of which can even be traced back to the previous movie. In the 1940s.


    For online publicity, the lower limit is much lower. Let alone those viral links and videos, Marvel Comics also launched a series of solicitation plans for the mysterious relationship between Captain America and Black Widow, soliciting some appropriate plots from netizens. .


    Of course, the kind of plot where Steve Rogers and Natasha Normanoff fight hand-to-hand will definitely not be adopted.


    TV, newspapers, Internet, radio, etc., can be seen on these media, "Captain America", the current propaganda has not reached a full-blown state, but maintained a certain degree of heat.


    During this period of time, what Ryan did the most outside of work was to get people to find a number of Zhang Che''s movies to accompany Charlize to watch in the home theater.


    "The characteristics of the movie are very distinctive." This is Charlize''s opinion, "The production is very rough, rougher than the b-level films of the 1960s and 70s."


    There are indeed many fans of Hong Kong-style movies in North America, such as Quentin Tasino, but Hong Kong-style movies can only be said to be niche films among niche films.


    "Kill Bill" is not a pure Hong Kong-style film, Quentin Tasino is not an idiot, in fact, what is covered under the film is still the old Hollywood style.


    There will be a lot of fighting scenes in this movie. Charlize will definitely swing around on a tightrope. Ryan specially took her to the hospital and asked several experts to examine her injured knee, and she was sure that there would be no problem. .


    September is the traditional film off-season, and it is also the season when horror films and genres are released together. Compared with the hustle and bustle of summer vacation, Hollywood is much quieter.


    However, a message released by Time Warner broke this calm and made Ryan feel that he was bringing more and more changes to the circle.


    "I didn''t expect it to move so fast."


    This was Ryan¡¯s first reaction after learning the news. Charlize, who looked through the documents opposite, was also a little surprised. ¡°I heard that Warner was hesitant to launch this project some time ago. I didn¡¯t expect to make a decision so quickly.¡±


    "Because of surprise, we have succeeded in succession." Ryan stood up and paced slowly in the living room. "Because of the current social environment, the public is more likely to accept superhero movies."


    "But why did they choose Wonder Woman?" Charlize asked.


    "It is difficult to achieve a breakthrough in Superman movies. Batman was temporarily sealed by them because of the failure a few years ago." Ryan frowned and recalled that there was indeed no such movie in this period of time in the previous life. "Then Dai, one of the three giants of the Justice League Princess Ann has naturally become the first choice."


    In fact, it is not particularly difficult to circumvent some too sensitive feminist issues. UU Reading can also set the main enemy as women, or from ancient gods, such as Olympus, who blessed Princess Diana. One of the gods of Sishan.


    As for whether it can be successful, it can only wait for the movie to be released.


    "I heard..." Charlize looked at Ryan, who was standing in front of the window with his arms folded, and suddenly laughed, "Warner sent Natalie an audition invitation and decided her as one of the candidates for Wonder Woman. "


    Ryan nodded first, then shook his head, and rarely responded to Charlize, "She has refused."


    Before reaching a certain height, starring in a superhero, but the actor''s taboo, if he had not won the best actor, Ryan would not agree to play Steve Rogers, even if he is very to the commander of the Avengers. interested in.


    Charlize stood up and walked to him, looking out the window and turning his eyes continuously, "Why don''t you write a script, and then... the four of us will play it, how about?"


    Turning his head, Ryan squeezed that delicate face hard and looked at the wall clock on the wall, "It''s getting late, I''m going to prepare for Darren''s premiere." (To be continued...)( )

 Chapter 560： Niche movies that are not valued by the mainstream

    "Hey, Drew, Chen, Darren..."


    Walking alone on the short red carpet, Ryan came to the theater and greeted Drew, Chen Jiazheng, Darren Bousman and others one by one, "Hello everyone."


    Everyone and the actors of the crew stood in a row in front of the huge poster, letting the few reporters take pictures.


    "Of these reporters, I don''t know how many are directed at Ryan." They are all old friends, and Darren Bousman is also welcome.


    "Don''t forget, there is also Drew." Ryan waved to the audience around the red carpet and walked into the theater with the crew.


    This is just a not-so-large theater in Los Angeles. The investment and genre of the film are all placed here, and it is impossible to have a large-scale premiere.


    Like all small-cost movies that sell well, the cost of this movie on publicity far exceeds the cost of production. As of today, the cost of the movie on publicity and distribution has reached 15 million U.S. dollars. .


    How can it be possible that a small-cost movie that has no celebrities to join wants to sell, and does not spend a lot of effort on publicity?


    Not many people came to the premiere. Most of them were friends invited by Drew. The premiere was somewhat deserted, but for a niche movie, this is normal.


    "I didn''t expect our first movie in the real sense..."


    When David looked at Chen Jiazheng, he seemed to sigh with emotion, "This is the last cooperation."


    After a simple socializing with the people who came to join in, Ryan and the others greeted them and walked into the main hall together. Compared with the premieres of those blockbuster films, it was indeed simpler.


    "Perhaps you will cooperate internationally in the future."


    There was still a while before the movie started. After sitting down, Ryan continued with David''s previous topic, "making a new type of horror film combining China and the United States."


    "I heard Chen said that he is still a long way from being in charge of a movie." Darren Bousman seemed a little pity for his friends, "Chen. You really should stay in Hollywood."


    "Chen has his own ideals." Ryan patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "It''s like your ideal is to shoot the most disgusting plasma film."


    "Hey, Ryan." Darren Bousman waved his hand in protest, "This is also a kind of art, and most importantly, this type of movie can make money."


    "So you have confidence in the box office?" Chen Jiazheng looked over with a smile.


    "Of course." Darren Bossman nodded his head, "We are... well, I''m afraid the film genius group of four."


    "It should be..." Drew, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly leaned over, "Isn''t it a dumb quartet?"


    "Miss Barrymore..."


    Reese put on a serious gentleman appearance. "You should prepare our dividend check in advance."


    Several people laughed. Although it was a niche movie and it looked ordinary, it was destined to be not an ordinary niche movie at the end.


    At the end, the proposal comes from Ryan, and the other plot changes are conceived by Darren Bousman and others. Compared with the previous life with the same name, there has been a huge change in plot.


    The location of the two protagonists is not a toilet, but a small closed warehouse in an abandoned factory, which contains the killing organs and methods. Most of them come from Darren Bosman, a crazy plasma film enthusiast. Although they are different from their previous lives, they have not changed the essence of traditional American horror films, which is just killing shows.


    In the movie. No matter how many reasons the protagonist has for killing, he still can''t change the nature of being just a perverted murderer.


    In fact, although the first half of the movie is suspenseful, it is definitely not outstanding. The mere investment of millions of dollars is there, and it is inevitable that there is a deficiency in the processing of the graphics and some props.


    The first half is completely attracted by **** and terrifying scenes. It''s about the distance from California to New Jersey, and it looks like a retro b-grade movie that resembles Hollywood''s heavy taste in the 1970s.


    Like "Bodyguard", a classic lens can save a vulgar movie.


    When the actor chooses to amputate his leg, and the corpse lying in the middle stands up with dripping blood, the movie is instantly elevated to a higher level, and can even become a classic picture in an American horror film.


    Similarly, in the silent theater, many viewers made a low voice of surprise.


    This modest sound of surprise is enough for such a movie, and it cannot become a popular movie. Even in North America, the taste of the movie is too heavy, although it will be praised by people who like it.


    However, those who can come to watch this kind of movie are lovers of heavy tastes. Judging from the warm applause at the end, this movie will at least not lack an audience in this particular movie-watching group.


    Such a genre film will naturally not be well received by the critics.


    Perhaps Ryan''s name was hung in the producer''s column, and many well-known film critics even made relevant comments for the first time.


    Roger Albert only gave this movie five points, on the grounds that-although the movie has reached the effect of a thriller, exciting and creepy, it is absolutely not worth it to endure these disgusting tortures.


    He is a little better. Peter Travers from "Rolling Stone" magazine only gave the shortest comment-extremely disgusting!


    At the same time, gave the movie a poor four points.


    These are nothing. Rene Rodriguez, the film critic of the "Miami Herald", only gave the movie three points, saying, ¡®movies have no demonic evil, only idiots like radiation. ¡¯


    Of course, there is even lower than this, a critic from Chicago who has recently been hailed by the film critics. The younger Janathon Jones only gave the movie one point.


    "In addition to sadism, the movie is full of absurdity. One point is only given to the movie''s slightly new ending. Such a perverted movie is purely disgusting and disgusting."


    This is his comment.


    Although many criticisms are excessive, it is a situation that this type of film will inevitably encounter. A niche genre film is a niche genre film, and it is too difficult to get the mainstream recognition.


    Similarly, the group that likes this type of movie is also very fixed, and this time of year is their carnival time.


    Among the genre films released this season, "Chain Saw" is obviously more attractive than other films, only the ending. It is enough to attract audiences who like this type into the theater.


    It is obviously impossible for "Chain Saw" to win a wide range of theaters without testing the waters. As the distributor, Flower Pictures has done a lot of work, and only got close to the film in the first week. 2300 theaters.


    Even for these 2,300 theaters, the audience attendance rate is not particularly high.


    The film won a North American box office of 19.24 million US dollars in the first weekend, and the single hall score was less than 8,000 US dollars.


    But this result also surpassed the expectations of Darren Bosman and Drew Barrymore. In the following second weekend, more than 100 theaters were added, but the box office fell to 12.11 million US dollars.


    For a horror film, durability is always the biggest problem it faces.


    In the following period of time. The box office of the movie plummeted like a roller coaster that surpassed the apex. It never got a box office score of more than $10 million in a single week, and after only 8 weeks in the theater, it had to be because the attendance rate was too low. Completely withdrew from the North American theaters.


    There is nothing unexpected about these. Most horror movies are like this. Ryan vaguely remembers that the work of the same name in the previous life did not last long in the theater. The same goes down because of the lack of audiences.


    Although the movie is a veritable small production, the total cost after the downgrade is as high as 20 million U.S. dollars. Fortunately, this film took away more than 58 million U.S. dollars from North America. Coupled with the copyright of the TV and DVD video tapes sold after the negotiation, profitability is not a problem.


    In overseas markets, Flower Pictures chose to sell the screening rights and sold the overseas copyright of the film to Paramount Pictures for US$15 million. After all, this film has too many discomfort and disgusting shots for most viewers, and it takes a lot of work to enter certain overseas markets.


    Of course, Disney will not release this kind of movie. Even its subsidiary Bowei Pictures will not release this type of film, for a company like Disney, it is simply a smashing sign.


    This has nothing to do with the quality of the movie, but the type of movie is not suitable.


    So far, excluding other subsidiaries, Disney Pictures itself has not released any movies that exceed the pg level.


    After North America went down, including the jigsaw dolls sold, plus various peripheral copyrights, there was probably more than 20 million U.S. dollars in pre-tax profit. Darren Bousman and others got a large share. He has also become a highly anticipated genre film director.


    "How much did you get?"


    At the oak dining table, while eating breakfast, Nicole asked Ryan on the opposite side, "It looks like you invested a lot of money in this movie, right?"


    "About one-third." Ryan drank a cup of hot milk, wiped his mouth, and put down the spoon. "There will be more later, and the discs and video tapes will be divided."


    "I heard that Drew is planning to shoot the second episode?"


    Probably not very busy recently Nicole is also more concerned about these things, "I met her when I went to a party the day before yesterday."


    "These types of films are the easiest to fix the audience." Ryan stood up and packed his tableware. "Since I can make money, I will definitely shoot a sequel."


    "I''ll just clean up."


    Nicole also finished breakfast, took the porcelain plate in Ryan''s hand, and walked toward the kitchen, "You go and prepare, don''t forget that we are going to the hospital next."


    Hearing the hospital, Ryan couldn''t help but stop, "That... Nicole, can I get another day?".


    "Why not today?" Nicole also stopped, her golden-red eyebrows gradually frowned, her light blue eyes staring at Ryan, "I remember when I called the other day, you said that there is no work to deal with today. , I have made an appointment with someone."


    "Okay." Ryan sighed softly.


    Anyway, I went to the private hospital of my family doctor. I invited experts who had signed a strict confidentiality contract. There was nothing to worry about. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 561： Anti-Disney typical

    Los Angeles in November feels no chill at all. The bright sun shines on the tree-lined private hospital gardens, and the green lawns are vibrant. No patients can be seen here, and even the staff are extremely limited. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test


    The door of the side building was suddenly pushed open from inside. Ryan and Nicole walked out first, and then a middle-aged doctor sent them to the parking lot.


    "Doctor Johnson..."


    Although this was his personal doctor, Ryan opened the door of the Rolls-Royce car and threw a thick document bag on the seat of the car. He turned back and exclaimed, "I don''t want this to be passed on to anyone. In his ears."


    "Relax, Ryan."


    This Doctor Johnson is also not a fool, and credibility is extremely important to their business. "People who come here today have signed a strict confidentiality contract."


    "That''s it, call me again if you have any questions." Ryan entered the car and closed the door.


    The black Rolls-Royce ignited, slowly drove out of the gate of the hospital, turned a bend, and merged into the traffic on the road.


    Back in the building, Dr. Johnson immediately issued the seal of order. Although all the materials were taken away by Ryan, he carefully checked it and made sure that there were no omissions. Then he was relieved.


    Regardless of the professional ethics of doctors, Ryan is his funder, and most of his annual income comes from the salary of private doctors.


    Ryan was also not worried. From the day Dr. Johnson accepted his foundation sponsorship a few years ago, the other party was destined to follow him to the dark...


    Ah, no, it should be a qualified private doctor.


    Ascending the baffle separating the front and rear seats, Ryan took Nicole''s hand and said, "Don''t worry now?"


    "Don''t worry." Nicole slowly leaned against him. "There is no problem with your body, and there is no problem with my body, so why?"


    "Only God knows." Ryan murmured, and subconsciously looked up at the roof of the car.


    "Ryan. I''m not young anymore." Nicole cupped her face. Staring into his eyes, he said very seriously. "I really want a child."


    "There will be." Ryan raised his hand to cover her hands, and touched her forehead lightly, "As long as we continue to work hard."


    "That''s all." Nicole turned back and leaned on the seat, pressing the communicator to notify the driver. "Go to Hollywood Records."


    The person who can let Ryan and Nicole go to Hollywood Records in person is of course Miss Taylor Swift who has been transferred there.


    A month ago, after Ryan and Scott paid for the training costs related to Warner Records, the little girl transferred to her own record company. Although she has not released any songs yet, her talent and hard work are counted in the circle. Some fame, Hollywood record companies also regard her as a future trump card in training.


    Although Disney TV has hit Taylor''s idea several times. But the little girl did not nod, Ryan disagreed, and they had nothing to do.


    Ryan has come to Hollywood Records for the first time since joining Disney. This company was once so familiar, but now it seems strange.


    After asking a few words at the front desk, he and Nicole walked towards the music practice room in the depths of the building under the leadership of a staff member. Ryan vaguely remembered that this place seemed to be where he practiced back then.


    Sure enough, Taylor''s music practice room was the one he had originally.


    There was a faint sound of acoustic guitar playing in the practice room. Ryan and Nicole walked in softly, closed the door of the soundproof room, and sat on the chairs in the rest area.


    The little girl, with her curly blond hair, was practicing the guitar. She probably saw the two come in and smiled here.


    "I still remember that I said I would never leave you, tears flowed freely on your cheeks, all the shadows blocked your light, I still remember that you said not to be alone, but all this will go with the wind tonight... "


    This is a country folk song. Although Taylor''s singing is still immature, it shows extraordinary strength.


    In fact, Taylor''s music in this life is very different from the previous life. She did not grow up in Nashville. Although she prefers country music, her style tends to be more popular.


    If you want to truly become a queen of music, pop is a must.


    Taylor is not like Maria Kelly or Celine Dion, who has problems with skin color and nationality. He is from the mainstream class and grew up in Hollywood, so he has a natural advantage.


    However, now that the record industry is shrinking sharply, it is too difficult to have another Madonna Cicconi.


    The singing stopped, the little girl put down the guitar, walked over, and stood opposite Ryan and Nicole with her hands behind her back, "Do I sing well?"


    There was an expression of ¡®praise me quickly¡¯ on her small face.


    "Excellent!" Ryan gave her a thumbs up.


    "You are our pride." Nicole pulled her to sit down beside her.


    The door of the practice room opened again. When Ryan looked back, a boy slightly older than Taylor leaned in half of his body to take a look, and then got into the room.


    He held two dolls and walked directly to Taylor.


    "Hello, Ryan, Nicole." The little guy was very polite and greeted the two of them first.


    "Hello there."


    Ryan nodded to him, while Nicole looked at him curiously, and Taylor''s nose, who was sitting next to her, wrinkled slightly.


    The boy stood in front of Taylor, held the doll in one hand, scratched his head, and then handed it over, "Hi, Taylor, this is the latest Shrek doll, I made a special gift to you."


    Taylor did not answer, "Thank you, I don''t need it."


    "But... I heard you talk about them the other day." The boy blinked, giving full play to his cheeky spirit.


    Seeing this, Ryan roughly understood that his dear sister met the suitor again.


    This kind of thing is not uncommon in Los Angeles today. He and Nicole looked at each other and just watched the changes. Tyler would be thirteen years old soon, and he had dealt with this situation before.


    Although she asked Kristen Stewart to beat him up at that time, she probably wouldn''t do it now.


    "Talking doesn''t mean liking." Taylor stood up and walked to the other side, "Just say Shrek, fat and green, and a big belly. How could I like it? And that donkey, God, It''s so long-winded, how can girls like this kind of thing?"


    After speaking, she winked at Ryan and Nicole from a place where the other party could not see.


    "Okay, Irvine." Tyler came back and picked up Ryan and Nicole. "We''re leaving, goodbye."


    "No need to bring anything else?" Nicole asked.


    "It''s all inside." The little girl took the bag from the assistant and pulled them out of the practice room. Then she muttered, "Better never see you again, childish boy."


    When getting in the car, Nicole looked at the girl who was shaking her head and said with a smile, "Taylor has grown up and people are starting to chase him."


    "I don''t like them." Tyler hugged Nicole''s arm, and the whole person was about to lie on top of her, "I want to be with you forever."


    This innocent childish speech made Nicole laugh happily. She has always liked children.


    Then Taylor turned to Ryan again, "All the original dolls of the Shrek series, don''t make excuses, my dear brother."


    "You just said that you didn''t like that big-bellied green-skinned monster." Ryan gently pulled down her curly hair, and Taylor immediately snatched it back. "Of course I don''t like the one given by others."


    "I went to see it three times with Scarlett and Christine, and my laughing stomach hurts." She seemed to think of the animated film that was released for a while, and smiled with her belly in her arms.


    "Is it so funny, dear." Nicole hadn''t seen it before, a little curious.


    "It''s really good-looking and funny." Tyler leaned over Nicole''s body and said with a smile, "It is completely different from the animated films of Pixar and Disney. It is a typical anti-Disney. It combines a lot of classic fairy tale characters. Take it out and tease him, and that donkey is actually in love with a fire-breathing dragon."


    Holding the grinning Taylor into her arms, Nicole couldn''t help looking at Ryan, "So DreamWorks Animation Studio is revitalized?"


    "The situation has changed a lot." Ryan nodded, recalling the information he had read only a few days ago, and said, "It probably got close to 60 million U.S. dollars in box office in the first week, and it should be more than 64 million U.S. dollars in the second week. One point, so far, the total box office has passed 150 million US dollars."


    Pulling Taylor''s ponytail with a smile, when the little girl stared at him, he continued, "You know, the most profitable movies of this kind are in the surrounding areas, and the surrounding areas are very popular. Jeffrey Kasenberg Grid has been planning to list the studio. It is estimated that it will not be long before it will be listed on the Nasdaq public offering. If it succeeds, DreamWorks Animation Studios can completely get rid of the predicament."


    "So you won again?"


    Regarding the situation of Ryan''s investment and profitability Nicole has long been used to it. She held Taylor and deliberately teased, "How much is the share? I want to buy us gifts!"


    "Hey, dear." Ryan stretched out his hands helplessly, "I am just in charge of the adaptation, not the original author."


    Looking at the two pairs of blue eyes who have been staring at him, Ryan said seriously, "Well, but not now, "Captain America" ??will be released soon. If the box office can sell well, we will go on vacation together."


    "It''s not sincere, I still have to practice." Taylor muttered.


    "That''s fine." Ryan thought for a while, "I''m looking for a manufacturer of ¡®¡¯ to order you some Brazilian rosewood guitars."


    The little girl laughed immediately, almost missing her eyes.


    After two months of intensive publicity, "Captain America" ??is about to enter major theaters in North America before Thanksgiving. When the car leaves Burbank along the intercontinental highway, a roadside billboard can be seen from the car window The huge portrait of Steve Rogers and the iconic shield. ()

 Chapter 562： Propaganda offensive

    On the way back from Burbank to Beverly Hills, you can see a large number of advertisements about "Captain America", billboards erected high on the roadside, giant signs in the commercial center, and billboards where posters can be hung. It is full of blue, white and red uniforms and round shields painted with five white stars.


    Even the bus stop signs with few customers are covered with posters of this movie.


    Steve Rogers is like a plot in a comic, completely thawed from the ice and returned to American society.


    After entering the bustling business district of Mondeo Avenue, not only advertisements can be seen everywhere, and even on the streets, there are many people wearing Captain America uniforms and holding plastic round shields, taking photos with pedestrians and tourists.


    On several famous big screens on the street, in addition to routine advertisements, there will be a period of unclear black and white pictures, in which Steve Rogers is holding a Chicago typewriter and leading the Allies towards The Nazi Germans charged fiercely, which looked like a documentary video.


    It seems that in the history of the United States, Captain America really appeared in the United States, leading the Allied forces to victory one after another, and beat the clown Adolf Hitler with a bruised nose and swollen face.


    Among them, the slogan of "The Devil Appears, Captain America Guards America" ??is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.


    For American society, Steve Rogers is not just a superhero, but also represents an era and a spiritual belief.


    Just this month, George Bush, the owner of the White House, also mentioned Captain America in his latest televised speech against the Taliban and Al Qaeda, saying, "Captain America will never shrink from the threat of terrorism. Now The United States will not back down, we will be able to eliminate all enemies! ¡¯


    Although he just mentioned by the way, businesses with a keen sense of smell will definitely seize this opportunity.


    Subsequently, Marvel Comics announced that it would prepare fifty copies of "Captain America" ??for free for the coalition forces stationed in Afghanistan, and deliver them to Afghanistan as soon as possible, so that these fighters who are eradicating terrorism can see this super Big production.


    At the same time, a special comics edition of Marvel Comics came out, in which the retro Steve Rogers beat Adolf Hitler, and a large number of comics that came to the modern day single-handedly and went to the enemy camp to kill Bin Laden were sent to Afghanistan. I don¡¯t know. What will al-Qaeda think after seeing it? It''s impossible to say that Laden will be **** to death, saving the subsequent hunting operations.


    Of course, there is also the possibility of violent rage, and an Islamic jihad may be launched against comics and Captain America.


    No matter how the anti-war parties resisted this war on terrorism, for the United States, the Afghanistan War and the subsequent Iraq War have completely different meanings, and this war has received unanimous support from the mainstream society.


    The actions of Marvel Comics not only conform to the voice of the mainstream society, but are also the best embodiment of political correctness. For a typical theme movie, the effect of such propaganda is obvious.


    After 9/11, American society has been shrouded in the shadow of terrorism. Even if you buy a few comics, you can only watch the heroes of your country on paper and kill Bin Laden. That is also something to applaud.


    All these make the "Captain America" ??movie highly anticipated.


    With the help of Disney''s huge media platform, the promotion of "Captain America" ??can be described as a full three-dimensional.


    In a current affairs talk show on the TV station, several critics also talked about this superhero who was surprised to be the first born superhero in history.


    "Whether it is the fascism that was rampant during World War II or the terrorist extremism that exterminates humanity, its fundamental purpose is to deprive human beings of free life, and they are all typical anti-social behaviors."


    Several people sat around and talked, ¡°I don¡¯t think the personal struggle of a superhero can bring any miracles, but Steve Rogers bravely stood up in the face of the raging violence against humanity, in order to safeguard the country. Fighting for his freedom and his own rights, no matter whether he really has the so-called superpowers or not, at least he has taken the courage to face it all!"


    "Today''s society is no better than before. Many people regard''living'' as a great cause."


    Another critic took over the topic, "Being more brave like Captain America to choose your own beliefs and spirit, I think it may be of greater significance..."


    In terms of the Internet, it goes without saying that those naval forces who are creating momentum have received more than 100,000 suggestions from those online consultation activities organized by Marvel Comics. Except for the type of Black Widow fighting Captain America, the surprised staff selected some and placed them. A prominent position on the official website.


    Because the figure of the black widow appears in the poster, the most typical of these suggestions is to see Steve Rogers and Natasha Normanoff have more interactions in the subsequent Marvel movies. If they can It couldn''t be better to get together.


    Whether it was for publicity or to cater to the tastes of the market, at an event held by Marvel Comics in New York, the old man Stan Lee personally responded, saying that he would carefully consider the opinions of viewers and comic fans...


    Later, Marvel¡¯s Avi Allard announced to reporters that "Captain America"¡¯s profit at the North American box office will be donated to the establishment of a charity foundation to help the police, firefighters and volunteers who died in the 9/11 incident. The family of the writer, because they are the real American heroes!


    These have produced a strong response in society.


    Two days before the movie was released, TV stations conducted random interviews and surveys of people of different age groups on the streets of major cities across the United States.


    "At that time I was just over ten years old. I still remember the first time I saw Steve Rogers beating Hitler fat in a comic. He was the spiritual force that inspired all Americans in that special era."


    This is an interview with an old man from Nevada, "What? Will I go to the theater? Of course I will! I have already booked the movie tickets with my grandson, and my family will go to the theater together, although this movie It doesn¡¯t look very suitable for Thanksgiving..."


    Kroll, from Brooklyn, New York, is about forty years old. He said in an interview, ¡°Although the age of Captain America¡¯s prosperity is a bit far away from me, I will go to watch this movie. Our country is experiencing threats. We Need such a movie."


    The reporter interviewing in New Orleans stopped a young man. After hearing the purpose, the other party said openly, "I like Marvel comics, I like Captain America, I like Ryan''s movies better... Oh, I My name is Ellen Kruger. I have seen the filming process of the movie. This will be a great movie. What? I will definitely go to see this movie. Actually, I am going to the airport and rushing to New York to participate in the movie. Premiere..."


    In New York, the birthplace of Captain America, it''s similar¡ªhe uses the country''s name as his title, and his uniform is red, white and blue with bright stars; a shield of the same color is his weapon. Yes, he was born for patriotism! ¡ª¡ªSuch publicity advertisements are all over the bustling neighborhoods.


    For American society, this is a bad time period; for the "Captain America" ??movie, this is the best time.


    The premiere of "Captain America" ??was selected in Brooklyn, New York, the birthplace of Steve Rogers in this comic.


    Marvel Comics and Walt Disney both have high hopes for this movie, and Ryan also knows that if he misses the first film this year, he must explain the story of Captain America, and he will inevitably lose the best chance to show it.


    The film¡¯s huge publicity campaign cost nearly 50 million U.S. dollars before its premiere. In addition to the $110 million production cost, Ryan also paid up to 7,000 for the film. Ten thousand U.S. dollars in publicity costs, if you add subsequent distribution costs, the total cost will reach 200 million U.S. dollars.


    However, this is not an era in which the United States is deeply mired in the Iraq War ten years later, leading to an extremely strong anti-war.


    The most "main theme" superhero in American comics has also been popular with theaters. Ryan''s market appeal is strong. Past commercial movies have already proved this point. Will this movie be popular with audiences? As the commercial group closest to the general audience, they have their own judgment.


    From the reactions of other film companies, we can also see Hollywood''s expectations for this film. Except for the animated film Shrek, which was released in the previous few weeks, other super productions have avoided this schedule.


    They are not fools. This is not a dull movie like "The Pianist." How powerful is Ryan''s commercial film?


    This directly led to the creation of a new North American film market record before the film was released. The number of theaters in the first week of "Captain America" ??reached more than 4,100, and the number of screens exceeded 9,500!


    The day before the premiere, Ryan and Nicole, the two heroes and heroines of the movie, left Los Angeles on a private plane, and some other members of the crew were on the same plane.


    "The second part?"


    Sitting in the front cabin of the plane, David Fincher shook his head and said to Ryan, who was standing by the bar, ¡°One such movie is enough. I don¡¯t want to be tied for a long time like Sam Remy. On a series."


    "According to your plan When the whole series ends, I don''t know if it will be a few years from now." He added.


    "okay then."


    Ryan was holding a silver pot, filled a few people with black tea, and sat next to Nicole, "It is still unknown how the response of this movie will be. What adjustments should be made for the next movie will depend on the release. The audience''s reaction afterwards."


    "will not¡­¡­"


    Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting next to David Fincher, asked with her blond hair, "Don''t the black widow and the captain really have sex?"


    "It depends on the setting of surprise." Ryan shrugged, holding up the tea cup, and slowly sipping black tea. "The screenwriter has a dedicated team in charge, which must meet the requirements of the entire series."


    The entire series has just set a rough route. The social environment in the next few years will undergo too many changes. The movie must always adapt to the social environment and make adjustments to some plots in time.


    However, this is all for the future, and now the most important thing is "Captain America"! rs()

 Chapter 563： The premiere of the main melody

    "It''s 5:30 PM Eastern Time. I am your old friend Adam Johnson. I think everyone can see the lively scene behind me. The highly anticipated premiere of "Captain America" ??is in New York. The Rosato Cinema in Brooklyn. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test"


    In the live broadcast of the TV station, you can see the outside of the theater with granite as the exterior, with huge posters hanging on the bright red carpet, and the carpet is full of reporters and movie fans. The subsequent panoramic shots show that the number of people on the scene is extremely high. There are tens of thousands of people.


    As an actor arrived at the scene by car, the cheers of fans and the noise of reporters'' questions immediately obscured the voice of the host, and the camera was locked on the red carpet.


    Compared with previous Hollywood movie premieres, many American flags were hung on both sides of the red carpet, many of which came from movie props.


    Even on both sides of the red carpet, there are not a few people waving American flags, and some even put up slogans saluting the heroes.


    There are a large number of "Captain America" ??among the fans. There are not a few people wearing an A-shaped helmet and holding a five-star buckler. However, the most conspicuous among them is a group of female "Captain America" ??wearing uniform stars and stripes. Uniforms, holding beautifully made small round shields, and tight-fitting clothing design, show their **** figures to their heart''s content.


    Ellen Kruger was mixed among these people. Although the eyes enjoyed the delicious stimulation, they secretly slandered. Are these women here to make trouble? If they hang a rope around their waists, they are obviously Wonder Woman... ¡­


    Of course, these women are very famous, and he knows they are staunch supporters of Ryan from the Upper East Side of New York.


    The red carpet is still in progress, and many famous actors or directors have appeared on the red carpet with the huge "surprise" written on it. Several members of the Roaring Commando took to the red carpet as a group. Although these actors were not well-known, they also enjoyed the screams and applause of fans.


    When walking into the interview area. Some reporters surrounded them. Asked about possible gossip in the shooting.


    This is a premiere full of the main theme, on all the vehicles that pick up the actors. They were all painted with the American flag and the captain''s round shield, even the captain''s motorcycle that Ryan Gosling ridden with full of personality.


    Of course, the most conspicuous thing is not this car, but the retro roadster specially built for the crew by the sponsor of the film. Hugo Weiwen, wearing sunglasses, drove this vintage car directly onto the red carpet, and all the way to the special reserved area, driving the fans on both sides of the red carpet to shout loudly.


    Then, two beautiful women appeared in front of the red carpet. Scarlett Johansson, who played the role of Black Widow, walked on the red carpet with Nicole Kidman, although two beautiful female stars walked together. It has always been a taboo. But everyone knew that the relationship between them was unusual, and there was nothing strange about it.


    "The beautiful Peggy Carter can only be seen in this movie."


    Alan Kruger looked at the tall figure walking to the interview area, feeling very regretful in his heart, surprised that Peggy Carter''s TV drama plan had been announced. Nicole Kidman will not continue to play this role.


    When he got out of the car, Ryan happened to see David Finch walking across the red carpet quickly, and he couldn¡¯t help speeding up a bit, but when he saw the **** female Captain America, he also had a feeling of how to look at him. Feeling like Wonder Woman, after beckoning to them, move on.


    The street in front of this theater is not wide, and the red carpet is not long. Ryan quickly walked to the interview area, waved his hand to the reporter who was about to approach, shook hands with other actors and greeted him, standing by the huge poster. before.


    "As the boss..." Nicole stood next to him, posing in the most beautiful posture, and lowered her voice and said, "Aren''t you considering the TV station under it?"


    "Didn''t you accept the interview on my behalf?"


    After speaking, Ryan turned to his opponent in the movie on the other side, "Hugo, you are so handsome in that car."


    "If you want." Hugo Weiwen waved to the other side and laughed. "After the premiere, you can drive home."


    After the routine group photo, a group of people walked into the theater one after another. Many people gathered in the front hall. Surprised high-level officials shuttled through the crowd to greet the invited guests.


    It is inevitable to socialize on such occasions. When he walked in front of Jeff Katzenberg, the head of DreamWorks Animation Studio gave him a strong hug.


    "Ryan, seeing you, I would think that the box office champion of "Shrek" could not be kept." He said with emotion, "You saved a company and saved a group of people''s dreams."


    "You''re welcome, Jeffrey." Ryan patted him **** the back, and said to David Geffen who came by, "We are a win-win situation, aren''t we?"


    "Yes." David Geffen also laughed.


    Although he is more in charge of DreamWorks music and live-action movies, he is also a shareholder of DreamWorks Animation Studios. No one dislikes making money.


    For the current DreamWorks Big Three, the success of "Shrek" is undoubtedly the biggest good news today, even if it does not help much to change the situation of DreamWorks.


    After talking about a few other things, Ryan left, and then the people from Time Warner came over.


    The other party can be regarded as acquaintances. Time Warner¡¯s executive director Jeffrey Bix and the comic¡¯s president Paul Leviz also participated in the previous surprise superhero movie premieres.


    Maybe I also want to learn something from it, so as to change the current situation of superhero movies.


    "We plan to start production of "Wonder Woman" next year."


    This is the news that has been circulating for a long time in the industry. The two sides shook hands, and Paul Leviz also mentioned the latest plan, "In the next two to three years, the "Superman" and "Batman" series will be restarted."


    "Regarding "Wonder Woman", can Ryan give some suggestions?" The two sides have more cooperative relations in the competition, and Jeffrey Bix also tentatively asked such a sentence.


    "No, no." Ryan shook his fingers. "Presumably you should know that amazing movies are written by their own screenwriters, and I am not good at superhero movies."


    "But everyone knows that you pointed out the direction for the surprise in the confusion." Jeffrey Bix laughed.


    "Jeff..." Ryan thought for a moment, and just said something roughly, "Find a suitable opponent for Princess Diana, don''t touch..."


    He looked at the men around him, "Our sensitive mind."


    This suggestion can only be described as a commodity, and the two from Time Warner were a little disappointed when they left.


    However, Ryan can only say that. After all, this is not his own company. Too much intervention in other people''s business is not a good thing.


    In fact, the opponent of Wonder Woman is not difficult to choose, and compared to the general facial makeup of Marvel Comics, the villains are more distinctive.


    Thinking of this, Ryan found Nicole''s place and walked over directly.


    "Hi, Sophia." After he saw the female director opposite Nicole, he beckoned, "I didn''t see you just now?"


    "There is a traffic jam on the road." Sophia smiled, showing her iconic big teeth, "coming a bit late."


    "Lost in Tokyo" started post-production? Ryan took Nicole and stood opposite her.


    "I''m on vacation." Sophia looked at Scarlett on the other side. "We stayed in Tokyo for too long and we were too tired. I plan to start post-production next month and then participate in Cannes or Venice movies next year. Section."


    "if you have time."


    Looking at the time, Ryan took Nicole to the main hall of the theater, not forgetting to tease Sofia Coppola, "Why don''t you come to a guest star in a superhero movie?"


    "Ryan." Sophia was not fooled at all. "Do you want me to be the target of critics again?"


    Nicole laughed first, and everyone else laughed and walked to their seats.


    Outside the theater, invited media reporters waited for admission. Fortunately, the audience who got tickets for the premiere also waited at the entrance.


    Irene Kruger stood at the back of the crowded queue, unable to tell what it was like.


    The smell of perfume was all in the nose, and the **** body in tights swayed in front of him, and even because of the crowded relationship, he still felt the breast of the girl behind him, several times directly hitting his back. Back.


    This is really an unusual premiere. Is this lucky or unlucky for yourself? It was actually mixed in among a bunch of female Captain America.


    These girls from the Upper East Side are undoubtedly Ryan¡¯s staunch supporters. Since Irene stood beside them, the topic of these people¡¯s mouths has never left Ryan, and they can even clearly say that he is in the movie. The subtle performance of each scene in the movie.


    Finally Ilen lined up to enter the theater. Because of the relatively backward relationship, there were not many seats left after he entered. Before he had time to be fortunate to get rid of those chirping girls, he realized that he wanted to do it again. Face the surrounding of these people.


    "Can we change seats?"


    After sitting down, he also tried to change seats with the person in front of him, but the other party heard the noisy sound and shook his head directly.


    After all, few people are willing to hear noise outside of the movie while watching a movie.


    Maybe this will be a bad experience!


    Irene Kruger sat back in his seat with this feeling. The young girls were undoubtedly energetic people, and they seemed to talk endlessly.


    The lights went out row by row, and the screen lit up on the big screen.


    At this time, Irun found that even these girls who jumped off knew the most basic courtesy of watching movies. They stopped talking, and all their energy turned to the big screen. ()

 Chapter 564： Welcome back, captain

    "it has started!"


    Scarlett next to him whispered, Ryan glanced at her, and when his gaze turned back, the surprising opening on the screen had flashed, and the whole hall was silent, only the faint wind came from the sound.


    Scarlett does not have many plots in the film, but it appears in the opening scene.


    Although Marvel Comics claimed to follow the comic settings as much as possible during its promotion, some plots were adjusted as needed.


    On the gloomy ice field, a truck broke through the wind and snow and came to a busy place.


    "This was discovered by a Russian oil squad." Someone reported to two hooded men who had jumped out of the car. "They said there was a big green-skinned monster who made a lot of noise here. The ice layer collapsed, revealing this."


    What he pointed at was clearly the wreckage of the plane sunk deep in the ice.


    For those familiar with comics, it is naturally clear that there is Captain America.


    The machine was mobilized and the entrance of the plane was cut open. The two people came into the depths of the ice in spite of the severe cold. In this series of actions, one could vaguely see a red-haired woman and a black man.


    The red-haired woman walked in front. After searching, she probably saw something. She knelt down and brushed off a layer of crushed ice and snow particles. The white star on the blue background was very conspicuous...


    "This is!" She couldn''t help showing a surprised expression, "Steve..."


    The black man behind her has already pressed the communication device, "God, it''s really him! I don''t care what time it is, I will connect to Washington immediately!"


    "He''s been waiting long enough." The red-haired woman raised her head impressively, and the camera shot through her eyes.


    This is the memory of Natasha Normanoff, the black widow.


    The film switched to that period of chaos. An ordinary small town in Norway was attacked by the Nazis. The Nordic gods they believed in did not protect them. Faced with the threat of Nazi officers with black technology, they could only send them out. Odin''s treasure left in the mortal world-the universe Rubik''s Cube!


    Today''s Hugo? Weiwen, is about to become a professional villain. And the role of Red Skull, in essence, doesn''t have much room for him to play.


    The lens returned to New York, with a distinct retro style on the screen. This film is like the theme it expresses, trying to find the most simple things and the inner things that are missing in the United States today.


    In the previous life, a considerable part of the big investment in this movie was put on 3D, which made the special effects look really bad, even old works like "The Lord of the Rings". No less than that movie in terms of special effects.


    Nowadays, 3d technology is far from being used on a large scale, and more money has been invested in modeling and setting.


    The plot of the movie is roughly the same as the comics, it is how thin and weak Steve Rogers became a candidate for super soldier, from weak to strong.


    What I have to say is that the master imitator who was invited has indeed played a role. When Ryan''s head was transplanted onto the image of his body, there was no sense of disobedience. It looks like he was born so ordinary.


    Moreover, unlike other superheroes who fall into confusion or other negative emotions, Steve Rogers has strong beliefs even when he is an ordinary person. He has never lacked courage.


    This is one of the entire series. There are few superheroes in this era, so their dad inevitably runs into the movie, such as Howard Stark who specializes in black technology.


    The role of the film is the most attractive. It was Ryan and Nicole who was dressed in military uniform and bravely.


    Especially when Ryan finished his transformation and appeared in the picture with his upper body naked, some girls'' tusk came from behind. It caused even greater dissatisfaction around.


    Fortunately, this is a mature North American film market. Everyone knows the basic cinematic courtesy of quiet watching, and the hall soon became quiet again.


    This is a red and exclusive movie with the main theme. All the plots serve this theme. In addition to showing Steve Rogers¡¯ strong will, conviction and flexible mind, it has even become a shot of Captain America selling national debt. , They all appear to be extremely Americanized and extremely mainstream.


    Of course, David Fincher''s style is completely different from that of the previous life. Although the rhythm of the movie is not fast, it is extremely perfect.


    For example, after catching the murderer who killed the Doctor, Steve also conducted intensive training for a period of time in order to go to the battlefield. The plot was very short, but with such an explanation, the following techniques would not appear abrupt.


    Like most American heroes, the protagonist will not fight for tall reasons for the first time. Even Captain America, who has a nearly perfect personality, embarks on the journey of war to rescue his friends.


    These all seem to be that Captain America is truly an individual.


    There is not much room for acting in the movie. As the male and female protagonist, Ryan¡¯s role is to show muscles. Although much worse than the previous life, he is also a standard man. Nicole is a complete vase. The biggest role is actually Decoration and the last sensational drama.


    Like all superhero movies, the villain always shows the lower limit of IQ, even if it has black technology, it is still embarrassed by a group of soldiers led by the captain.


    When Steve was saving people, he met a grumpy guy from prison. Needless to say, this person, Wolverine, he only has bony claws, and his ability is far less powerful than in the future. He became a nine-year-old man. Captive of the head snake.


    The captured Allied soldiers were liberated, and the captain found his friend James Barnes. He was locked in the room of the police and became the test subject of Hydra. On another bed next to him, he was still Lying another subject, a red-haired girl.


    "She is a spy sent by the Soviets." James Barnes briefly said about her origins.


    In any case, the two sides now have common enemies and allies, and with the character of Steve Rogers, he will never give up, so he saved the later Black Widow.


    As for the specific origins of Black Widow and the relationship with Wolverine, Marvel''s follow-up comics will be supplemented, which is also a typical example of using movies to pull comics.


    Steve Rogers became a hero, and Captain America was no longer an actor and no longer had to sell national debt.


    James Barnes and Natasha Normanoff were injected with some experimental materials by Hydra, which changed their future destiny.


    In order to fight the Hydra organization. The captain formed the Roaring Commando, which is definitely a typical international column, and Wolverine and Natasha also temporarily joined the team.


    After getting the equipment support from Howard Stark, there was battle after battle. The captain took the beauty, the wolf and a group of strong men, tortured and killed the Hydra everywhere. I have to say that the setting of the Hydra is weak. It seems that this level of extermination of the world is not as reliable as Hitler, a lunatic.


    And that fight. Compared with the kung fu action movies that have been popular in North America in recent years, they are clumsy and mediocre, but the movies use a retro style, and the fist-to-flesh fighting is also in line with the characteristics of that era.


    What''s more, the movie highlights Captain America and the spirit he represents, and the rest serve this theme.


    Whether it is the beginning of the film, or the interruption, and even the end of the film, the captain is brave, kind, loyal, and selfless. With all the good qualities imaginable, he charged on the battlefield of World War II, fought for the beauty and freedom of this world, and fought for the beliefs he insisted on.


    He has a sincere and kind heart. Indomitable persistence, an ordinary person, keeps giving and working hard. At the same time insist on being yourself.


    These are enough to impress the audience, especially in this special time period.


    There is always a big battle between the good and evil, and before the big battle. Natasha Normanoff was detained by the military due to identity issues. The captain tried hard to fight for reasons but to no avail. Peggy Carter assured him that the opponent would not be harmed.


    "We shouldn''t hurt an innocent girl, otherwise, what is the difference with those we want to eradicate?"


    Natasha returned to the Roaring Commando and joined the final battle.


    The Hydras, who claim to be able to conquer the world, are still not backward armed opponents. They were so disgraced by the captain''s simple four-way outflank and blooming tactics in the middle, and finally the Red Skull had to go to the battle.


    The captain chased the plane and started a head-on confrontation with the Red Skull. In the end, the Cosmos Rubik''s Cube passed away and the Red Skull fell into the sea.


    After losing a friend, the captain faces the life and death separation from his unfavorable lover.


    Because of 9/11, the goal here did not specifically point to that city, but to replace it with the United States, so as not to trigger painful memories of New Yorkers.


    In the end, a very simple sentimental, owed a dance, a date, the captain drove into the ice field in a plane loaded with destruction bombs.


    Everyone knows that this is destined to be an unfinished appointment.


    A very simple emotional drama, but it is more impressive and moving than the dog-blood love triangle in some war movies.


    "To Captain!"


    The war was victorious, and the Roaring Commando jointly raised a glass for the captain. After drinking a glass of wine, Logan was the first to leave and disappear into the empty tavern.


    Subsequently, Natasha Normanov also disappeared on the streets of London.


    In the process of searching for the captain, Howard Stark found the Cube of the Universe, and developed a series of black technologies based on it. The movie is turned back to Peggy Carter holding the captain''s information. On the body of the black widow.


    Then, in the twenty-first century, Steve Rogers woke up and discovered a series of botched concealment methods. He rushed to Times Square. Armed men in black uniforms flocked to him, and the swarthy one-eyed man approached him. In front of.


    "We wanted you to adapt slowly." He patted his arm hard, "Welcome back, Captain!"


    The movie ends here, and there is still a long way to go to the Avengers.


    Amidst enthusiastic applause, Irene was mixed in the group of girls and walked out of the theater. Amidst the fanatical shouts of these female Captain America blocking the entrance of the theater, they rushed towards the airport.


    Compared with the big productions full of fire and explosion in recent years, the movie seems to be a little flat, but the spirit and concept reflected in it are what impresses him the most.


    Captain America, what we need is this spirit! This is what Irun thought when he got in a taxi. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 565： Captain Americas influence

    Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, Ryan, who was blocked by many female Captain America at the entrance of the theater, took the posters, autographs, etc., and drew his names on them. Although these girls are fanatical, they maintain the most basic order. , Otherwise he can only return to the theater.


    The black Rolls-Royce finally stopped at the entrance of the theater. Ryan waved to the girls, pulled Nicole, who was also busy with autographs, and got into the car.


    The speed of the car was like a tortoise, and it didn''t leave the street until half an hour later.


    "It feels like the movie is not as good as imagined."


    Nicole hadn¡¯t seen the trial screening, and after getting in the car, she couldn¡¯t help feeling that the film was a little bit different from what she expected. "The retro style is very good, but you turned into a transformation... Well, after Captain America turned into a transformation, the quality of the movie dropped by a notch. ."


    Regarding Nicole¡¯s words, Ryan also agrees that although compared with the previous life, the details and plot handling are better, but this movie is essentially to restore the comics, explain the origin of Captain America, and the description is even more accurate. Focusing on the mental traits of the captain, the hot action scenes are naturally a little worse.


    "Don''t worry, honey."


    Grabbing Nicole''s hand, Ryan kissed him, "This is Captain America."


    "Actually, I have never worried about the North American market." He stopped Nicole''s shoulders and continued, "As long as the film can guarantee the basic quality, the North American box office is not a problem, but how about such an American-style theme movie in the overseas market? It''s hard to tell."


    Fortunately, there is also an international column in the movie.


    "What''s this?" Nicole suddenly changed a weird tone. "The movie is starring Ryan Jenkins."


    "Hey, your box office appeal is not worse than mine." Ryan held her hand tightly, Nitian was on his body, "We starred in a couple in the movie, and the tabloids are about to start hyping again. "


    "Ignore them." Ryan waved his hand casually. If he cared about these things all day, he wouldn''t have to work and live normally.


    "You look stronger in the movie than you are now." Nicole said, and squeezed his chest. "It feels good, but it''s not as exaggerated as it looks in the movie."


    "They used some post-production special effects." Ryan made a deliberately bent arm gesture, "Of course, I''m also very strong."


    After the premiere, "Captain America" ??landed in North America across the board. High-density publicity combined with the popularity of Steve Rogers over the years, as well as the appeal of super actors such as Ryan Garnico, attracted a large number of audiences. To the theater.


    And there are two equally popular characters in the film, Wolverine and Black Widow, and the interaction between superheroes also played a certain role.


    In the next few days, the film will be released in English-speaking areas such as the UK, Ireland, Australia, etc. These are also **** allies of the United States.


    After the film premiered, the latest overseas region to appear was Afghanistan, and the coalition forces stationed here became the first overseas audiences.


    In addition to movies, a large number of comics have also come to the war. Among them, Captain America¡¯s killing of Bin Laden is undoubtedly the most popular among ordinary soldiers, and the surprise has been authorized by Ryan¡¯s portrait, the new Steve Rogers¡¯s. The image is more like a cartoon version of him.


    The Pentagon purchased tens of thousands of such comics from Marvel Comics and shipped them to Afghanistan. Not to mention the US military. Some of them were also spread to the Afghan civilians. They were transferred to terrorists. Perhaps Bin Laden and Al Qaeda saw them. , Will be spit blood out of anger, and then make some fierce reactions.


    Film critics will certainly not ignore a film that is released on such a large scale. With the marginalization of the industry, they have been borrowing the trend of big-selling movies to show their existence.


    "Ryan Jenkins brought a credible, unpretentious and steady temperament to the role. Captain America is definitely the movie we need most now. Steve Rogers may not be able to save the world, but it can bring us Encourage."


    From the "Washington Post" female film critic Ann Hornadi gave the film a high score of eight points.


    Claudia Pugh, the film critic of "USA Today", also scored eight points for "Captain America" ??in her column, and wrote, "Although the film is a bit ridiculous like all superhero movies, most actors also The performance is quite satisfactory, but movies with Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman are still hard to dislike."


    "The film fully demonstrates persistence, sincerity, bravery, loyalty and other spiritual beliefs. These are enough to impress the audience." Orland Scott from the "New York Times" also gave the film a sufficiently excellent evaluation.


    "This film will satisfy all your fantasies about an action-stimulating blockbuster. It has been surging since the beginning of the film. The action and scene design are better than those of "Black Hawk Down" and "Navalon Cannon"." Kenneth Duran of the Los Angeles Times directly gave the film nine points.


    "A masterpiece in a movie adapted from a comic! The style is utterly styled but majestic! The plot refined from history and human nature presents a fine form of agility but no lack of humor, letting go of its comic-style absurdity, it is a one A film that is mature in nature."


    ¡ª "Chicago Sun" Roger Albert.


    This veteran film critic rarely recognized a superhero movie, not only gave it eight points, but also gave it a thumbs up.


    Although there are "stupid and mediocre works that make people sleepy" and other comments, this film is so in line with the current needs of the mainstream society, these film critics who want to return to the mainstream will give it to You can imagine what kind of evaluation you will get.


    Traditional film critics have given high scores to movies. On the more free network, those "professionals" who rely on the Internet to gain a reputation will not buy it. They rely on imdb, the base camp, to give this The movie showed a score lower than the other.


    In the first week after the movie was released, imdb''s rating fell below six points.


    "The most boring superhero movie in history, I was so tired when I slept!"


    "The significance of such a film is just to prove that "X-Men" and "Spider-Man" are definitely not bad enough!"


    "The film is so mediocre that it has become a show of Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman!"


    "If you can fast forward, I think I can finish it in five minutes. There is no connotation! There is no art!"


    This is the mainstream evaluation from imdb. Some of them belong to Rotten Tomatoes. The freshness of Captain America on this website was only more than 50%.


    After a period of observation, Ryan''s team determined that these two websites did not actually have much value for the commercial development of the film, and the huge navy hired simply withdrew from these two websites.


    Their influence on the market is completely negligible, even worse than traditional film critics who are gradually marginalized.


    The film was screened in more than 4,100 theaters, a record number, and the box office on Friday was more than 33.7 million U.S. dollars. Although it did not achieve a box office of more than 10,000 in a single library, with the arrival of the weekend and the opening of the Thanksgiving holiday, The number of movie viewers has increased significantly, and the cumulative box office has also risen rapidly.


    On Saturday, "Captain America" ??ushered in the highest peak since its release, with more than 42 million US dollars in the whole day. On Sunday, the situation declined, but it also received more than 34.6 million US dollars.


    On the first three days of the week, the film successfully cut more than 111 million US dollars, once again proving the appeal of Captain America among the American public.


    In fact, in North America, Steve Rogers has long surpassed the category of comics and superheroes, and is almost like a spiritual totem.


    This achievement far exceeded the estimates of Ryan himself and Marvel at the box office of 80 million in the first week, and even most media did not expect that such a retro-style movie would be so popular with American audiences. .


    The North American box office market includes the United States and Canada. Compared with the enthusiastic audience in the United States, the response from Canada has been much colder.


    The influence of the times and social environment on a film is vividly reflected in "Captain America".


    According to a report from the "Washington Post", the George Bush family also watched the film at the White House. At a subsequent press conference, when a reporter asked him what he thought of "Captain America," this man was jokingly called The U.S. president with the lowest IQ in history called out loudly, "I suggest every American citizen to watch this movie!"


    Although the plot of the movie is more to show the spirit and beliefs of Steve Rogers, even if it is fighting against a virtual villain like Red Skull, avoiding political entanglements as much as possible, but such a movie, such a movie character , How can we completely get rid of political influence.


    Besides, this is also Ryan''s intention. If we don''t borrow the current social and political environmentCaptain America, it is impossible to achieve such a success.


    In terms of the market, the film can be described as leaping forward. Although the market''s popularity will inevitably decline after Thanksgiving, the number of theaters in "Captain America" ??has gradually fallen to more than 3,700, but after seven full days, it still got US$68.7 million, ranking first in the North American box office rankings for two consecutive weeks.


    However, compared to North America, "Captain America" ??has a slightly worse overseas response, which is also normal. The American imprint on Steve Rogers is really too deep.


    When the third week came, the North American box office of the film easily passed the 200 million US dollar mark. What followed is bound to be a further decline in the number of theaters and attendance. What height can the final box office number reach? To accumulate by the long screening time.


    Compared with the box office, the peripherals will bring higher profits. Not to mention the subsequent TV and disc copyrights of the movie, and the sales of comics that drive it. After the release of "Captain America", the iconic shield has become The first choice for many teenagers when they are having fun.


    The impact of such a film is in all aspects. For Ryan, there are both positive and negative, but the negative effect is beyond everyone''s expectations. rs()

 Chapter 566： Bad luck

    "Greetings to our Muslim brothers and praying to God for your peace. When we heard that the Muslim brothers in Afghanistan were massacred in protest against the American Crusaders in the Muslim land of Afghanistan, we were very sad!


    We pray that God will accept them as martyrs, and allow them to enjoy the gifts of all the prophets, caliphs, and all good people; we also pray that God will provide for their families. The children left behind are like my own children; if I really want to, I will take care of them.


    The Afghan Muslim people would rather die than surrender to defend Islam, just as they did when they resisted Russian aggression 20 years ago.


    May these brothers be the first fallen martyrs in this crusade against Jews and Christians to Islam. This new crusade launched an offensive against Islam under the banner of the cross. The Crusaders The leader is the United States, it is George Bush!


    In addition, they have a large number of accomplices, not only from the military and armed forces, but also from invisible cultural aggression.


    In Afghanistan, the evil crusaders have brought a more evil culture. They use clowns like Captain America to slander our Islamic world and blaspheme our God. They use all means to slander our great jihad!


    To this end, we must fight back!


    God is on! We must not only expel the evil crusaders, but also burn all the evil books they brought. We call on all the Muslim brothers to use all available means to destroy all those who invaded Afghanistan, including Captain America, and desecrate God. Ugly heresy.


    Our jihad is great, the crusaders are evil, the evil they not only want to kill our bodies with weapons, but also use heretical culture to destroy the pure spiritual world established by God.


    The Muslim brothers in Afghanistan are fighting the Americans desperately. We cannot leave them alone and helpless. We have to relaunch the attack, not only to destroy their buildings. We must also destroy the ugly Jewish and Christian culture that has blasphemed God.


    Captain America will be our primary goal to destroy the ugly culture! Our goal will be Captain America Ryan Jenkins in this world!


    Evil Americans regard him as a representative and symbol of heretical culture, and we want to destroy this symbol. Fight the evil American Crusaders again! I call on every Muslim brother to use all means to destroy this symbol of evil culture and to destroy this person who has desecrated God!


    I¡¯m here to report good news to my dear brothers. We will persevere on the avenue of jihad, follow the path that the prophets have walked, and share the heroes under the leadership of our warrior vanguard Mulla Omar ¡ªThe people of Afghanistan ¡ª walk on this same road.


    We pray to God so that we can defeat these heretics and oppressors, drive out the invasion of evil culture, and smash a new round of crusades by Jews and Christians on the land of Afghanistan.


    If God allows you to win. No one can defeat you; if God wants you to be defeated, no one can make you succeed. Therefore, everything depends on God! "


    "Your Islamic brother, Osama bin Mohammed bin Laden!"


    Seeing a copy of the videotape from Al Jazeera specially sent by the TV station, Ryan sat in the living room of the villa and couldn''t help but curl his mouth and scratch his head.


    What does it matter to me that your great Islamic Jihad and the evil American Crusaders killed and killed me? Is al Qaeda crazy? Trouble with a Hollywood star like yourself? Isn''t it just a Captain America? Didn¡¯t you kill you in the comics? As for being like a mad dog?


    Steve Rogers had beaten Adolf Hitler so many times, and he never heard that the lunatic went mad?


    Well, I am not an unknown person in a previous life, nor an ordinary American. So Multimedia has been hyping itself wildly, holding itself in such a prominent position, and attracting a group of lunatic attacks. It is not a strange thing.


    But these are only movies and comics. Is it necessary to be like a lunatic, who catches and bites?


    Forget it, they are a bunch of lunatics.


    Of course, he knew that the so-called Captain America was just a casual excuse, and vaguely remembered that at this stage of the prevalence of terrorism in the past life, many Hollywood people had encountered troubles, and even the federal government once issued a warning. Said that Hollywood will be one of the main targets of terrorist attacks.


    Ryan couldn''t help having a headache, if he was really caught by such a group of lunatics. That''s really a big trouble.


    Why am I so unlucky? Isn¡¯t it just selling a batch of comics to the Pentagon at a high price? The retribution came so quickly?


    "Ryan..."


    Charlize Theron sitting next to him was full of worry. "Do you think George..."


    "It''s okay, it''s just a little trouble."


    Reassuringly patted her hand, Ryan looked at the TV station who sent the video, "Joy, Al Jazeera has broadcasted it?"


    "Yes." The one sitting on the sofa put down the tea cup in his hand and said seriously, "It has been confirmed that the video tape is indeed from Bin Laden, and..."


    The head of the Middle East region of the TV station¡¯s news department looked at Ryan, ¡°There are rumors in the Middle East that some Islamic extremist organizations are ready to respond to Bin Laden¡¯s call to organize power...¡±


    If you don''t say the rest, others can understand.


    Feeling that the hand in the palm of his hand was holding him back, Ryan had to smile at Charlize again and signaled her peace of mind.


    "What about the North American media?" he asked Joey.


    "Most of the media got the news." He lifted his eyes, "I rushed over as soon as I got the video, but the cnn aspect was earlier than we got it. If nothing else, I''m afraid it has already been broadcast."


    This is a wise man, and after saying goodbye, Ryan asked him to be sent out.


    "Why is this?"


    There were no outsiders in the living room, and Charlize never concealed his worry, "God!"


    "Calm down, Charlie!"


    If it was a previous life, Ryan would probably be no better than Charlize, but he has experienced so much in this life. Being in chaos has long been a habit.


    Charlize was also an experienced person, but he was a little flustered because he was too worried about Ryan, and took a few deep breaths. Temporarily concealing his anxiety, he walked around next to the sofa in the living room. Shows inner anxiety.


    "John..." Ryan looked at the bodyguard who was silent like George, sitting in the corner of the living room, "raising the security level to the highest."


    Although he won''t panic, he also won''t despise them either. He knows how crazy those people are and how they have had previous lives.


    The housekeeper Lisa answered the phone and hurried over. He said in Ryan''s ear, "Nicole is here, and the car has entered the manor."


    Hearing this, Ryan stood up immediately, even more surprised than he heard Al Qaeda announced that it was targeting him.


    Before he could talk to Charlize, the chuckle of high-heeled shoes came from the door. This hurried voice was simply the best portrayal of the master''s mood.


    When I just heard the news, Nicole couldn''t believe it was true, thinking that someone was playing a prank, how could Ryan be the target of a horrible lunatic? Unless those people have problems with their heads.


    The facts she confirmed later proved. Those people have problems with their heads.


    The anxiety and worries in her heart made her ignorant of other things, and came here as quickly as possible.


    Pushing the door into the hall, Nicole didn''t even look at Charlize Theron who was staring at her on the sofa. Walked straight over.


    "These **** lunatics!" Although her face was still calm, her pale blue eyes were full of worries, "They should all go to hell! Ryan, how are we going to deal with it?"


    "Don''t worry..." Ryan was interrupted by Nicole as soon as he spoke, "How could I not worry, the whole world knows who they are! How crazy!"


    "I have strengthened the security level." Ryan looked at Charlize who was sitting silently, walked to the table and poured a cup of tea for Nicole, and passed it over. Let her sit on the sofa first, "Speaking of which. They have expressed too much intimidation of this kind, and they may not really do it."


    "Ryan!"


    The voices of Nicole and Charlize sounded at the same time. After the two looked at each other, Nicole continued, "This is not a game! It is not a battle for interests between Hollywood!"


    She glared at Ryan, then turned to look at the housekeeper, "Lisa, call George back."


    Then he said to the corner of the living room, "John, bring all the bodyguards back, and pay attention to all the Arab faces around the manor."


    Ryan nodded to the two of them. What he said just now was comforting. No one took his life more seriously than him.


    That is, as soon as Nicole''s voice fell, Ryan''s cell phone suddenly rang. He took it and took a look, and all that should have come was here.


    When he walked to the window in the living room, he pressed the answer button.


    "Ryan, is the news on TV true?" Natalie''s voice was urgent and quick.


    "Hey, calm down, Nat!" Ryan comforted in a low voice, "I am very safe."


    "How can I be calm!" She goes to Israel several times a year. It is too clear how crazy Islamic extremists are.


    "I will take care of myself Ryan has already sensed the look behind him, and said quickly, "Also, I will send a few more bodyguards over. You have stayed at Harvard recently and don''t go anywhere. "


    "I know." The opposite is not a wayward girl.


    "Well, that''s it for now."


    After a few brief exhorts, Ryan hung up the phone, and when he walked back, Nicole was sitting quietly on the sofa holding a tea cup, Charlize on the other side was also sipping black tea, without saying a word.


    "You also need to pay attention to safety." Ryan rubbed his forehead, knowing that it is not the time to say, "I will send someone to strengthen the defense force around you. Recently, you have reduced your outings. Some activities can be pushed away. "


    After speaking, he sat on a single sofa and fell silent in the living room.


    However, the silence was quickly broken, and Lisa came over again, "The people from the Los Angeles branch of the FBI are here."


    "The FBI?" Ryan scratched his head, their actions were really fast. (To be continued)

 Chapter 567： Anti-terrorism

    "That''s it. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test"


    Standing up and shaking hands with two FBI officials, Ryan sent them outside the living room, "For specific coordination, you can contact my security officer."


    "We will not interfere with your private affairs." Among them, the older, bald middle-aged man said in a beautiful scene, "The federal government just wants to protect your safety, Mr. Jenkins."


    "Thank you!" Ryan nodded politely.


    After the threatening statement from Al Qaeda was issued, the federal government responded immediately. After all, Ryan is not an ordinary person. They assigned the FBI to send a team of elite agents to protect him.


    Of course Ryan would not refuse, and he was not a wayward person. Although it was awkward to say this was unavoidable, it was a hundred times better than regretting when he was threatened.


    Of course, he trusts the bodyguards that George brought out the most. The people from the FBI should be the ones who pass the news to the outside world. Anyway, they use all the taxpayers'' money.


    Back in the living room, Nicole and Charlize, who had previously been to the lounge, were already sitting on the sofa, and it seemed that they had never communicated with each other. Ryan did not have those unrealistic extravagances, and it was fortunate to be able to maintain the current situation. .


    Seeing Ryan coming in, Nicole stood up and took the coat sent by Lisa, "I should go back."


    "I''ll see you." Ryan opened the door.


    Looking back at Charlize, he followed Nicole and walked towards the door together.


    "If I knew that this movie would cause so much trouble, what would I say..."


    Having said that, Nicole who walked outside the villa suddenly stopped. Now Ryan is no longer able to intervene, "Forget it, Ryan. Don''t worry about me, okay?"


    Nodding solemnly, Ryan leaned over and kissed her white forehead. Opened the car door for her. The female bodyguard who told the driver, "Anna. Be careful these days."


    "Yeah~" the female bodyguard responded.


    "I''ll see you another day." Ryan just wanted to close the car door for Nicole, but she replied, "No, I''ll call you when I need it."


    Send Nicole away. When Ryan returned to the villa, Charlize had just hung up the mobile phone.


    "A lot of people are calling." She came over, "Pat just called, and many media want to interview you."


    "Call Pete back for me, and leave these things to her for the time being."


    Gently hugged Charlize, as if she could still feel her uneasiness, Ryan patted her back comfortingly. "It''s okay, don''t worry, I''ll go to the study and think about what I should do next."


    How to do? Hiding like a tortoise without showing up? That definitely won''t work.


    If those lunatics really want to act. Even if he did nothing, it would be difficult to dispel their plan. The intimidation video of Al-Qaeda was first broadcasted. Other media also responded quickly and reported the incident one after another, which immediately caused a big wave of exaggeration across the United States.


    A little over a year has passed since 9/11. Is terrorism going to make a comeback?


    Subsequently, the mainstream media made a unanimous voice that the United States will never compromise on terrorism. The federal government should take strong measures to protect the safety of every citizen.


    The North American media often quarrel with themselves, but they always make similar voices when it comes to incidents involving the interests of the entire United States or the interests of the mainstream class.


    There was no choice at all for this kind of thing, they all stood on Ryan''s side.


    A tabloid newspaper issued a gloating voice the next day, ¡°Who asked him to make and star in a big-selling movie like "Captain America," was completely self-glorious. As a result, it was criticized by the mainstream media, even the editor-in-chief. It is difficult to apologize personally on the headlines, and because of the investigation by the tax bureau, it can only be temporarily closed.


    In fact, some people are staring at Ryan in private to see how he handles it. If they remain silent, like a turtle hiding, there will be enough reasons to laugh in the future.


    But will Ryan give them such a chance?


    Not to mention his own nerves that have been honed over the years, but the experienced team behind him knows what to do to best benefit him.


    Action is always more convincing than words for show.


    Soon, an invitation signed by Ryan himself was sent to the hands of major Hollywood producers, including the current chairman of mpaa and Washington, DC.


    These people immediately responded positively, and even several consultants and media liaisons from the Washington authorities took the initiative to call after learning the news.


    The Christmas file has kicked off. This was originally a movie and a busy season, but Ryan has focused on other aspects, including the release of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Nicole¡¯s "Time and Time". "Engraved" are temporarily put aside.


    After years of operation, the public relations can be completely handed over to those professionals.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    "This is the hourly news program of the News Channel, and now it broadcasts an important news about Hollywood."


    "This morning, convened by Ryan Jenkins, major Hollywood filmmakers gathered at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles and announced through the conference that the Hollywood film industry will use its rich creativity to inspire patriotism and oppose terror. The enthusiasm of ism.


    "According to the information we got, Luo Fu, a senior adviser from the Washington authorities, and Chewanton, the White House media relations liaison, also made a special trip to attend the meeting."


    "The President of the American Motion Picture Association McValenti delivered a speech at the opening of the conference, saying that after the 9/11 incident, all walks of life in the United States are trying their best to help the country get out of the haze, and the recent al-Qaeda threat incident shows the madness and arrogance of the enemy, but The Hollywood film industry will not retreat and compromise, and will use practical actions to contribute to the fight against terrorism."


    "The meeting lasted for three hours. A total of 47 filmmakers reached a series of agreements with mpaa and the Washington authorities. Hollywood will increase the production of films that effectively deal with terrorist attacks and enhance overseas understanding of the spirit of the United States. Let the awareness of''anti-terrorism'' take root in the hearts of the people to restore the confidence and sense of responsibility of the next generation in the United States!


    "At the same time, the White House will provide financial support for Hollywood to make films on this theme.''Anti-terrorism'' and''Anti-violence'' will become important themes of Hollywood movies in the future."


    "Subsequently, the participants were interviewed by reporters. American Motion Picture Association President McValenti said-The content of this meeting is unprecedented. Today, when terrorism actually threatens Hollywood, everyone is finally in Ryan¡¯s Called to unite together, this is a new situation in Hollywood. It has not happened even during World War II. Such a situation is also gratifying. Hollywood should provide spiritual and cultural support for counter-terrorism!"


    Not only the TV stations under Walt Disney, but other mainstream media also broadcast this news for the first time. Although Ryan did not accept any interviews from reporters for the time being, he was the convener and advocate of this meeting, and all of them were reported. Mentioned this.


    Even a fool would understand at this time that Ryan did not back down at all in the face of the threat of terrorist organizations. Instead, he took active countermeasures and showed his tough attitude towards terrorism.


    "National Hero!"


    "The cultural flag of America!"


    "A person with firm conviction and noble character like Captain America!"


    These titles were thrown on his head by the media as if he didn''t need money. If Ryan really carried a shield, these people would probably call him the captain of the United States in reality without hesitation!


    As for other things like Playboy, they have all been ignored by the mainstream media. If there are no shortcomings, how can they be regarded as American-style heroes?


    Of course, Ryan could not remain silent. After public opinion had reached a certain stage, he accepted an interview.


    "After the''Pearl Harbor'' Incident that year, Hollywood also took a series of patriotic actions, and this time the face of terrorism is no exception."


    It is a rare time to go out to pick up Taylor. Ryan met a reporter from the TV station at the door of the Hollywood Record Company. He said seriously in front of the camera lens, "This is a country of freedom, where there are honest and strong people living in the face of terror. When facing the threat of ism, he was extremely brave. As a member of this country, Hollywood has the responsibility to show the world that the United States is a great country that loves freedom, democracy and opposes terrorism.


    These are enough, enough to express one''s own attitude.


    Ryan has always mastered what to do when and what is best for him.


    As for terrorist attacks, although I heard that many Hollywood celebrities have encountered threats in previous lives, none of them were killed. What Ryan did was to maximize security.


    After all, there is nothing wrong with being careful.


    I picked up Taylor, and by the way brought Emma Watson who came from the UK to do the premiere Ryan''s team returned directly to Beverly Hills.


    Around these vehicles, there are also vehicles belonging to the FBI.


    "Which cars are they?"


    Lying on the window of the bulletproof car, Taylor looked outside curiously, "Are the people sitting inside called Lynch?"


    "It should be James Bond." Emma Watson leaned in front of Taylor, looking outside with the same curiosity, "The American version of James Bond."


    "My dear, you have watched too many special agent movies." Ryan pulled the two curious girls from the window, "fasten your seat belts."


    The two girls fastened their seat belts obediently and sat down honestly. Tyler frowned and embraced Emma Watson beside him and said, "Charlotte, if you really can do magic, how good is it. Turn those terrorists who deserve to go to **** into cockroaches!"


    "I want to do this too." Emma Watson first smiled at Ryan, then shrugged at Taylor, "But there is no dragon''s heartstring in my wand." ()

 Chapter 568： Do you sell this script

    Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! "There are so many people."


    On the terrace of the villa, Taylor was standing behind the fence, a pair of royal blue eyes turning around, "Are they all equipped with guns?"


    "Definitely is."


    Emma Watson, standing beside her chest, pointed to the black suits passing by, "There must be holsters under their clothes, absolutely."


    "Is that so? Ryan?" Tyler turned his head and looked over.


    Sitting on a wicker chair, Ryan stretched, flipping through a collection of novels, and replied, "They all have a legal license to hold a gun, but..."


    He raised his head and said seriously, "Alison, don''t shoot me!"


    "I''m not interested in those things."


    She took Emma Watson and walked back, sat next to Ryan, grabbed the book in his hand, roughly flipped through it, and threw it back, "You..."


    She looked up and down Ryan, "Why are you interested in this kind of book?"


    "What book?" Emma Watson asked curiously.


    "Nothing..." Ryan put the book on the table casually. "A collection of Anne Proxim''s novels."


    "That Anne Proxim who won the Pulitzer Prize?" Emma Watson seems to have read a lot of books and heard the author''s name.


    "It''s her."


    Ryan looked at Tyler, and the little girl''s eyes rolled around, not knowing what she was thinking.


    At this time, a servant walked onto the terrace and came to inform Ryan that the guest had arrived.


    "Guest?" Taylor blinked his eyes wide. "Charlie has gone to Tokyo for a location. Who will come?"


    "Business talker." Ryan picked up the book and walked towards the stairs.


    Tyler pulled up Emma Watson, chased him from behind, and asked tentatively. "Shall we... go and see?"


    When he reached the corner of the stairs, Ryan looked back, and Taylor immediately put on a serious look, "We promise. Make two eggs. I will never interrupt."


    "Yeah~" The other girl also nodded vigorously.


    Here are some famous playwrights Larry McMurtry and Diana Osana, recently. They peddled around Hollywood a screenplay adapted from the short story of Anne Prox, but because the subject matter was too sensitive, the famous director Gus Van Sant and the producer Joel Smeche rejected them successively. .


    Similarly, the major film companies also believe that the subject matter is too sensitive. It is not easy to take over. The highest asking price of several companies that are interested in buying the script is only 200,000 US dollars, which is far lower than the expectations of these two people.


    They also found Jenkins Pictures. Ryan saw the name of the script when he was dealing with film affairs and immediately contacted the two people.


    Ryan did not let the company come forward. Instead, he planned to buy the script in the name of a private person, and invited them over.


    "Can I read the script first?"


    In the reception room, after the servant delivered coffee, Ryan said to the two people sitting opposite. "I just read Ms. Anne Prox''s original book."


    "Of course." Larry McMurtry took out the not-so-thick script from his bag and handed it over.


    After Ryan took it, he motioned for the two to be free, and tapped again on the tilted head of Taylor, and opened the script.


    He watched it very fast, and only when he saw the interactive plot of Jack Drizzt and Ennis DeMar, did he slow down a bit and compare it with the movie he had in his mind.


    About five minutes later, Ryan closed the script, making sure that this was the script of the previous life "Brokeback Mountain".


    "Larry..." Ryan returned the script, "Can you tell me about the copyright?"


    "We have reached an agreement with Ms. Anne Proxim a long time ago." Larry McMurtry put away the script, looked at his companions, and said, "completely bought out the copyright."


    "I can buy your script for half a million dollars."


    Ryan didn''t go around in circles, and said directly, "Of course, if you make a movie in the future, you will also pay for your related screenwriting fees."


    As early as a few years ago, he thought of this movie, and once let people find the original author. He didn''t expect that the other party sold the film adaptation rights in the 1990s, so he had to give up.


    This price is already the highest among all the people asking for it. The two are obviously a little tempted, but Ryan''s name lies here, and they naturally want to fight for more benefits.


    "We... we need to think about it."


    Frowning, Ryan didn''t say anything. Of course, he could offer a price of one million dollars or more, but there was no difference between that and a fool.


    "Well, if there is a result, or if there are other conditions, you can call Ms. Jinsli."


    Swinging his head to the little girl, Tyler immediately ran to the file cabinet on the side and fetched Jinsli''s business card. After Ryan handed it to them, he said politely, "I hope to hear the good news."


    "We also look forward to working with you." The two solemnly collected their business cards and left.


    Ryan is not in a hurry. In this age, there are probably not a few people or companies who have the courage to take on this kind of film that is completely based on **** men. They will make a wise choice.


    If it weren''t for Pai? Jinsli and the team were busy with Nicole''s Oscar nomination PR, Ryan would not meet them in person.


    "Are you really going to make a **** movie?"


    When the two of them left, they also left a sample of the script. Tyler took it in his hand, looked at it and asked, "Who do you want to be the director? Judy is transitioning to the direction of director, maybe she is looking for her. Not bad too."


    "My dear, you care about too many things." Ryan poured himself a cup of coffee and looked at the two girls who got together.


    He frowned and shook his head again, "This kind of movie is now being shot, and it will only cause a disturbance."


    "Then when will the topic of homosexuality not cause trouble?" The little girl looked over very seriously.


    "In a few years." Ryan didn''t notice Taylor''s eyes, and said casually, "Now there are more and more activities about the rainbow flag, and the influence is getting bigger and bigger. I heard that Massachusetts is ready to agree to the legality of **** marriage... "


    "What about California?"


    "I don''t know." Ryan shrugged and walked over to collect the script. "Well, these are not things your age should consider."


    Although the script is currently not in hand, the other party is obviously moved, and the rest is just the price issue. These people will naturally start a see-saw negotiation with them.


    Although there are still a few years away from the right time, Ryan also remembered the director problem that Taylor had mentioned. The average director would certainly not be willing to accept this sensitive subject matter.


    As for the Judy Foster she mentioned, she is definitely not a suitable candidate. Nicole¡¯s girlfriend is an excellent or even great actor, but not a good director. Her previous life directed works have also proved this.


    And Ang Lee...


    Ryan has already rejected Marvel¡¯s proposal to invite him to direct "The Hulk". Without this disaster, Waterloo, the other party may not be in a trough. It is difficult to say whether he will choose such a sensitive subject in the future.


    However, with previous life experience, Ryan also knew that this film actually brought great benefits to the director, and even triggered a big discussion about homosexuality all over the world.


    Suitable directors can be found slowly, and there is always no shortage of directors who want to become famous or have a better career in Hollywood.


    Besides, the current time period is not appropriate. After a few years, the controversy caused by the movie will not be so big, and it will be relatively easy for the public to accept.


    Maybe it''s good to stay as an alternative? Someone wants to be a director.


    "Charlotte, I heard you are a millionaire now?"


    Back on the terrace, Tyler and Emma Watson were sitting together playing checkers, still muttering, "Do you have any special feelings?"


    "Reporters and paparazzi are very annoying." The brown-haired girl scratched her curly hair and said with a gritted teeth, "Why Ben?"


    "Hey, dear." Ryan looked up from the back of the script. "Your idea is crazy."


    "But those people are bad guys." Taylor turned the chess piece in his hand. "British entertainment reporters are all crazy."


    Emma Watson seemed to feel the same way and lit her head vigorously, "Alison, do you know how those paparazzi treat me? They went to my trash can, trying to find a condom in it to prove... ¡­"


    The little girl showed her pointed teeth,


    Ryan couldn''t help covering his forehead. Emma''s parents had divorced a long time ago. She lived with her mother, and the paparazzi was really boring.


    "Charlotte, when I go to England next time, I must take Christine." Taylor shook his fist hard, "Let the tomboy beat them all over the floor."


    "But..." She squeezed her eyes suddenly, got close to Emma Watson''s ear, and muttered.


    "Alison!"


    Hearing the little girl''s scolding Ryan couldn''t help but look over, and saw Emma Watson''s face flushed, staring at Taylor and saying, "When are you gossiping and boring like those paparazzi Up."


    "Hey, hey, hey, my dear." Taylor''s tone sounds like Ryan, "I''m just asking casually, don''t worry, then...you always have a crush, right?"


    "what¡­¡­"


    "I promise not to tell anyone."


    "Me too." Seeing the eyes of the two girls turning around, Ryan said without looking up.


    "Hurry up, hurry up," Taylor urged. "We are good friends. It''s no big deal to share a secret."


    "Okay." Emma Watson nodded, hesitated, and finally said, "Do you remember Tom Felton?"


    "That idiot?" Taylor''s eyes rolled directly to his forehead, "God, Charlotte, your vision is so bad."

 Chapter 569： Next year is 2003

    Another Christmas has come, and the North American film market has also entered the most competitive moment. The most eye-catching movie in this schedule is neither "Captain America", which is down at the box office, nor "Captain America," which has set off another wave of magic. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but the musical "Chicago."


    This film produced by Miramax, after "Moulin Rouge", once again led to the short-lived revival of musicals. The production cost of 45 million U.S. dollars was exchanged for nearly 100 million U.S. dollars in three weeks. The North American box office gives those nostalgic people a feeling of returning to the so-called golden age.


    Ryan would definitely not have this feeling, he had no feelings about the golden age or something.


    However, he accepted Harvey Weinstein''s invitation to participate in the "Chicago" celebration party held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.


    "Ryan, I heard that you bought that **** script." The speaker was Harvey Weinstein.


    He stood opposite Ryan, talking about some interesting things in the circle, and the topic naturally turned to the script trading that has been widely circulated recently.


    In Hollywood, there are no secrets about this kind of thing.


    "That''s right." Ryan nodded, and Catherine Zeta Jones in the distance was raising a glass to this far away. He responded, and then continued, "One million dollars, buy out all the copyright. "


    "Although the current environment is more relaxed, but..."


    After bumping into the big fat man, Ryan laughed, "Not now, wait a few more years."


    Nowadays, the **** movement is becoming more and more active. Harvey Weinstein also knows this. After nodding, he changed the subject, "The movie I bought out of the copyright has been released in China. It is said that the reputation is not very good. But the box office was pretty good."


    "Don''t care about these, as long as it can bring us benefits..."


    At this point, someone came over to say hello, and Ryan shook the other''s stretched hand, "It''s been a long time, Michael."


    "Yeah, Ryan." Michael Douglas smiled and said a few compliments, "I haven''t congratulated you yet, your movies have been selling well, and all Hollywood envy you."


    "It''s Disney''s promotion."


    With a polite sentence, Ryan shook the other hand that was handed over, and said to the dark-haired woman who had just toasted, "Mrs. Douglas...well, Kate, your performance in "Chicago" was great."


    "Thank you, Ryan." She smiled brilliantly, "I''m going to use her to hit the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress."


    "Oh, Kate, are you canvassing for votes?"


    After Harvey Weinstein and Michael Douglas shook hands, he couldn''t help but joked in a low voice.


    Several people around laughed.


    This kind of occasion is basically used for communication, and the people around gradually dispersed. When only the two of them were left nearby, Harvey Weinstein looked at the Douglas and his wife who were going away.


    "Very smart and sensible woman," he said to Ryan.


    "When you come to Hollywood, you can stand up..." Ryan took a look there, then closed his gaze back. "Gradually stepping to the front line again, I definitely won''t be lack of brains."


    "Her role, even if it is declared for the best actress, the chances of getting nominated are great." Harvey Weinstein turned his head back, took two cups of soda from the waiter, and handed it over. Continued, "She knows where our goal is."


    Ryan just smiled, but didn''t say anything.


    Catherine Zeta Jones chose to be Mrs. Douglas and ate this veteran **** to death, which proved her mind.


    "Where is Tyler?" Harvey Weinstein asked after turning his head, "When the party started, I saw you bring her in with you."


    "She has her own small circle." Ryan looked at the place where the young girls gathered in the banquet hall, faintly seeing the lanky figure and curly blond hair, "Take Emma Watson to socialize. I probably want to introduce her into this circle."


    "With her referral, it''s definitely not a problem."


    Harvey Weinstein greeted another person who came by and said, "I''m going to greet the guests."


    Ryan nodded, walked to the rest area, found a place where he could see Tyler, and sat at a small table.


    In Taylor¡¯s current environment, proficient communicative skills is the most basic quality. In fact, as she ages, she has done a great job at this point. When faced with these people who are not very close, she is a The perfect lady.


    Like Victoria Beckham, it is not easy to break into the upper class in Hollywood without the introduction of close friends, especially outsiders like Emma Watson.


    To put it bluntly, this Vanity Fair is not only a drunken fan, but also extremely snob.


    "Sit, Shirley."


    Seeing the person in charge of Paramount who came by, Ryan stretched out his hand and gestured to the opposite seat, "I heard that you are selecting a new director for "Mission Impossible 3"?"


    "Yup."


    After she sat down, she beckoned to the waiter for two glasses of juice, "It is a must to change the director, and Paramount cannot afford to fail such a large investment."


    After that, Shirley Lansing raised her glass to this side, "Ryan, are you interested in MGM?"


    "MGM?" Ryan frowned and understood what she meant. "Does MGM mean to sell?"


    "Almost, it depends on the price."


    Probably to see that Ryan is not very understanding, Shirley Lansing simply explained, "The Wind Whisperer by John Wu invested by MGM, the production cost of 115 million U.S. dollars, With only 40 million US dollars in the box office, the surrounding TV broadcasts and DVD copyrights have not been sold yet. Counting more than 50 million US dollars in publicity and distribution costs, MGM will definitely lose a huge amount this time."


    "Even, maybe it will apply for bankruptcy protection." She added.


    "Don''t they plan to start 007 again?" Ryan folded his chin with one hand.


    MGM, like DreamWorks, also has a life-saving trick, that is, the "007" series.


    "Plus the huge loss brought by John Wu..." Shirley Lansing clearly understands MGM''s situation, "their foreign debt is as high as four billion U.S. dollars."


    After roughly thinking about it for a few minutes, Ryan threw the other party''s proposal aside. From the beginning of the 1990s, MGM has been a hot product, even if it will be the same for another ten years.


    Moreover, the acquisition also means taking over that huge foreign debt.


    "Could it be the failure of "The Wind Whisperer" that made you give up John? Wu?" He simply changed the subject.


    "We were once the warriors" has caused Paramount to lose a lot." Shirley Lansing said of course, "I will definitely not take the risk of using a failed director. North American audiences are obviously tired of his style."


    It is probably because Ryan is not interested in MGM, and Shirley Lansing no longer mentions the topic just now. Most of the topics between the two revolve around this year''s movie.


    The most tragic big production this year is MGM''s "Wind Whisperer". Not only did Baige Wu''s film fail at the box office, it was also unanimously bombarded by the North American media.


    Most people criticized him for just making a mixed plot of "Field Platoon" and "Saving Private Ryan", and had nothing of his own.


    Such criticism is obviously overkill, but for directors from Hong Kong, it is too normal for a director from Hong Kong to fail.


    Ryan vaguely remembered that not long after this movie, he was completely abandoned by Hollywood, where he went back and forth.


    Of course, the other party has no value anymore, and he won''t pay attention anymore.


    In the past year or so, the Hong Kong movie wave that Hollywood once swarmed has gradually come to an end. The number of film workers from Hong Kong has dropped drastically. Except for Jet Lee, Yuan Heping and a few people, everyone else is basically here. It''s untenable.


    And these limited people are also in a bad situation.


    The Hong Kong media frantically hyped up Hong Kong films to conquer Hollywood, and they stopped in fantasy from beginning to end, and their dreams should also be awakened.


    Although the so-called rescue work just appeared in their movie, choosing to go north is the only way out.


    The people at Disney''s Far East branch have also received notice from Ryan that they are in contact with people from Hong Kong Media Asia, so that they can buy the copyright of the movie first.


    Maybe it can be sold to Martin Scorsese in the future?


    These are not things that Ryan cares about. Related thoughts just flashed in his mind. After all, the life and death of Hong Kong movies has nothing to do with him.


    In fact, the death of Hong Kong movies is not without benefits, at least Disney has lost a major competitor in the Far East.


    Hong Kong? Go north? Ryan suddenly thought of something he had overlooked. Next year is 2003!


    According to the plan, "Revenge of the Sith" will go to China for filming, and "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is being discussed with China Film for the premiere at the same time, and these may be interrupted...


    The opposing government cannot influence it by itself, and is unwilling to deal with them. If they continue to deal with them as they did in the previous life, the virus will definitely raging again.


    Perhaps some covert means can be used to warn the World Health Organization in advance. If they can verify the intervention and even issue an international warning, they will not choose to silence the public, and they will take effective measures earlier. Maybe The virus will not break out completely on a large scale.


    Thinking of this, Ryan made a call and left the party to find George who worked overtime at the Disney office building. Only he could reassure himself about this kind of thing.


    It has controlled Walt Disney for a year. Apart from vetoing extremely limited money-losing projects, Ryan has not intervened in Disney''s operation much. What he has brought is more of the changes in the film and the remarkable performance driven by the film. .


    For mature media companies, a big-selling movie can be transformed into more actual income. Whether it is Jenkins Pictures, Pixar Studios, or Marvel Comics, the most indispensable thing is the big-selling movie.


    Through a series of means, Disney has been firmly in his hands.


    This is also an unusual year. Ryan spent Christmas surrounded by many bodyguards and minimized his outing time to avoid possible terrorist attacks. Even Nicole¡¯s best actress PR, All are completely handed over to the following team to operate.


    There was no clue to the terrorist attack. Al-Qaeda at the end of the road was more like a bluff, but Ryan would not care about it. After all, they were a group of out-and-out lunatics, and even their God might not be able to guess what they would do. rs

 Chapter 570： The end of reincarnation

    Australia in February came to the end of the summer. The Fox studios in the suburbs of Sydney flooded with hundreds of staff, and the extra actors in and out made this Hollywood''s overseas filming center, once again bustling. Scenes.


    The largest studios of the studio all fell into the hands of Lucasfilm. They were either arranged as a blue screen surrounded by a scene, or set and modeled as a starship''s inner warehouse.


    "Cut!"


    In the blue-screened studio, George Lucas called to stop. He got up from the director''s chair and walked a few steps to the platform where the model spacecraft was placed. "Ryan, your emotions are not in place. , And... Now Anakin has completely turned to the darkness, with a different look, okay?"


    Ivan McGregor turned his head and laughed. Natalie rolled her eyes at the bearded director. Ryan took off the sweat-soaked black leather gloves and said, "Okay, no problem."


    In the last shot, he was still in love with Padm¨¦ Amidala.


    George Lucas walked back, and Natalie, who had a big belly, leaned in and said in a low voice, "Is it difficult? Just letting out the nature in my heart is enough."


    "Nature?" Ryan almost tilted his nose without getting angry.


    "Don''t think I can''t see the other side of you."


    Seeing the assistant director approaching, Natalie murmured and returned to her position.


    "The thirteenth scene, the twenty-second scene, now begins!"


    After the assistant director''s voice passed, the crew resumed normal operations again.


    "I can not believe it¡­"


    Natalie backed away again and again, her face was full of sadness and inconceivability, "Obi-Wan is right, you have changed."


    "I don''t want to hear about Obi-Wan anymore." Ryan''s head deflected slightly, and his eyes became sharp in an instant. There was also an obvious negative sentiment in it, "The Jedi Knight has betrayed me, but you...can''t betray me!"


    "I...you are not the Anakin I know." Natalie''s voice was crying, and her thick eyebrows collapsed. "You broke my heart. I can''t keep up with you the way..."


    "Because of Obi-Wan?" Sharp and hateful eyes jumped over Natalie, and landed on Iwan McGregor, who was also dressed as a Jedi.


    "Because of what you did. Because of your plan!" She tried to make the last effort, "Stop it, Anakin, it''s still too late to look back now. I love you!"


    "con man!"


    A stern look swept across Natalie, "You brought him to kill me?"


    "Do not¡­"


    The hand with black leather gloves stretched out towards Natalie, and the Long Island girl covered her neck in cooperation...


    As long as the state is adjusted, such movies and characters are not difficult for Ryan, Natalie and Iwan McGregor. The remaining few shots of this scene are even ng. It will not exceed single digits.


    Besides, George Lucas¡¯s ability to design lines is just like being criticized by the media, which is really unflattering.


    In contrast. The battle between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan was slightly more difficult.


    However, as long as it is not a frontal shot, George Lucas has all been replaced by stunt doubles, and Ryan and Ryan are more likely to perform some fancy and beautiful moves.


    As for the volcanoes and lava, it is necessary to rely on the special effects technology to join them in the later stage.


    As early as 2002, George Lucas led the filming team who had ventured to Italy to take shots of a volcano erupting in Sicily.


    Regarding lava, Ryan also knew a little bit. The special effects team produced a 30-foot-long and four-foot-wide miniature model of Lava River, and successfully used milkshake and paint to produce enough fake and real magma.


    In the words of George Lucas, ¡®this is the battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin. The dangerous environment and the magnificent voice acting are the most suitable for this atmosphere. ¡¯


    Of course, this kind of remark is for Natalie. Although he is recognized as the worst of the four major directors, he is much better than Natalie''s rookie. When shooting, just ask the Long Island girl. He basically gives some enlightening answers.


    Changed to the Jedi costume that was awkward to walk, Ryan simply took care of the messy curly hair, walked to the opposite and knocked on Natalie''s dressing room. The Long Island girl also removed the maternity dress and long hair. Wig, is sitting in front of the mirror removing makeup.


    When her assistant saw Ryan, he immediately went out and closed the door.


    Ryan sat on the chair next to Natalie, watching her remove her makeup, Padm¨¦ Amidala changed back to Natalie Portman.


    "The dark side of your heart is completely released?" Natalie glanced sideways, and said in a teasing tone, "The feeling you gave me when I was shooting just now is like a devil from hell."


    "My dear, it''s unfair to say that." Ryan spread his hands and defended. "That''s Anakin Skywalker. It''s a character in the movie. It has nothing to do with me."


    Natalie turned around, tilted her head and looked here, Ryan couldn''t help but stretch out her hand and pinch her nose.


    "If it''s for you, I would rather fall into the darkness." He said half-seriously and half-jokingly.


    "The dark side of your heart is heavy enough." Natalie turned back, of course she knew that Ryan said ¡®¡¯ is plural.


    After leaving the set, Ryan drove Natalie back to downtown Sydney. The two of them had been to the city too many times and had no interest in visiting, and went straight back to the hotel where the crew stayed.


    "Go back to the room, or go to the restaurant?"


    After leaving the underground parking lot and entering the elevator, Ryan asked Natalie.


    "Go back to the room and order a meal." Natalie pressed the button on the top floor.


    Several bodyguards entered the elevator together. The alarm of terrorism was far from lifted. Ryan entered and exited the premises, not only had his own bodyguards, but also a small group of agents who were always following the periphery.


    Not to mention the responsibilities and rights of those messy taxpayers, if he is really in danger, even if he is not injured, the Washington authorities will probably be under tremendous pressure.


    The current Bush administration is planning a new war in Iraq and cannot afford any surprises at this time.


    As in previous lives, the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction incident broke out in the Middle East, and the federal government is sharpening its sword and is ready to take action at any time.


    Although the anti-war voice in the United States is very loud, the mainstream class is happy to see it happen. When Ryan met reporters some time ago, he was also asked about this question. He knew that with his own identity and status, he was not suitable to say If he objected, he just murmured a few words and dismissed the other party.


    Although many Hollywood stars¡ªsuch as Angelina Jolie, etc.¡ªcontinue to speak out against the media against the war, Ryan has selectively thrown the matter aside.


    As for whether the Iraqi people will suffer? What does it matter to him? They are neither compatriots in the previous life, nor friends in this life.


    Ryan doesn''t have great universal feelings, and he goes to rescue a group of people who have no real relationship or interest.


    How much practical benefit he can obtain by taking this opportunity is what he considers the most.


    Even when sitting in the living room of the suite after eating, Ryan is still considering these issues. I have to say that people''s thoughts always change with the change of status and status.


    "What are you thinking?"


    Natalie, who was sitting next to her and reading the newspaper, suddenly asked curiously, "When you are in the elevator, you are thinking."


    "Nothing." Ryan smiled and took her shoulders.


    "Considering how to hold another Oscar queen?" Natalie squinted at him, the newspaper in her hand was the entertainment version.


    Ryan leaned over and glanced, "Oscar nominated?"


    "Yes." Natalie glanced at the date of the newspaper. "This is today''s newspaper. Didn''t you get the news?"


    "I have been busy filming all day, where can I pay attention."


    Putting a hand in front of Natalie, Ryan stretched out two fingers, "Give me the newspaper or... read it to me."


    "Then sit down and don''t make trouble." Natalie''s eyes fell on Ryan''s other hand, and she said after that hand slipped from her chest to her waist. "Chicago received the most nominations. , Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, a total of 13 nominations."


    "Then there is "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers", with seven nominations including best editing, best director, best film, best art direction, and best visual effects."


    "And "Gangs of New York", your friend Leonardo DiCaprio won the best actor nomination... well, Sofia''s cousin Nicholas..."


    "Nat!" Ryan looked at her, Natalie curled her lips, and finally turned to the topic, "The Moment has nine nominations, and U U Reading includes the best actress."


    "That''s good." Ryan nodded, and gently kissed the girl''s white forehead, "Thank you for your time to read the newspaper, Nat."


    "Perhaps because of my newspaper reading time, someone will lose the best actress." Natalie put down the newspaper, stood up and walked towards the bedroom, "I will shoot tomorrow, I''m going to rest."


    The filming of the movie is still going on. George Lucas is like Steven Spielberg, a famous fast shooter in the Hollywood director industry. By March, the progress of "Revenge of the Sith" exceeded one-third. , Most of the difficult fighting scenes are completed.


    In a hurry, unless necessary, most fighting scenes are performed by Ryan and Ivan McGregor''s stunt doubles.


    This work of the end of reincarnation that Lucas said is so attractive, not only the media has paid attention, but also the people on the set are also in an endless stream.


    In a month, Francis Coppola, Robert De Niro, Ilya Wood, Dean Devlin and Liam Neeson came to visit the class one after another, and several of them made cameo appearances in the film for free. The background painting. ()

 Chapter 571： End of round 1

    After the filming of the scenes in the studio is completed, the crew will go to Thailand, Switzerland, Tunisia, and Guilin in China for shooting. George Lucas''s eyes are also on the rapidly developing film market, and even Also accepted an interview with a Chinese media.


    "The choice to go to Guilin for shooting is an unanimous opinion reached by the crew. I really like Chinese landscape paintings and I really want to bring the beauty of China to the screen."


    When faced with reporters, he said so, and even specifically mentioned the biggest actor in the crew, ¡°Ryan deliberately drew on many characteristics of Chinese Kung Fu when he was acting, which allowed him to show extraordinary physical fitness and flexibility. The action scenes in the movie can certainly meet the needs of both the East and the West."


    As long as it can bring huge benefits, Hollywood has never minded to praise the other side to the sky.


    This situation has gradually evolved into the norm in Hollywood. It is difficult to see Chinese villains in commercial productions, and those evil countries have gradually become the number one military power in the universe or the Libya and Venezuelan activists.


    With the signing of bilateral agreements on films and the rapid development of the Chinese film market, coupled with the improvement of the relationship between the two parties after 9/11, since 2002, more and more commercial blockbusters have planned to go to China for filming and added to the film. Appropriate Chinese elements to please the audience, thereby gaining more box office and further opening of the market.


    Although the extent of doing it is extremely limited, for example, some major productions will only consider international chapters as a small supporting role, but as the opposite market becomes larger and larger, it will not take long for Chinese stars to appear frequently in Hollywood commercial productions. The case of soy sauce.


    Of course, the main market for Hollywood in the future will still be North America. If Chinese actors want to play an important role in super productions, it will take time and the level of development of the Chinese market.


    If the number of screens on the other side can be increased to 15,000 yuan next year, Ryan will not hesitate to add a Chinese supporting role to Disney''s movies, but this is obviously impossible.


    "Originally, I wanted to replace Jill Valentino with Ada Wang in "Life Crisis 2."


    During the lunch break, the most important members of the crew sat together and chatted about the latest events. Ryan talked about the Chinese side, "Then I will find a Chinese actor or an actress from mainland China, but..."


    He shrugged, "Later, I dismissed the idea."


    "Why?" Ivan McGregor, who was sitting across the table, put down the coffee cup and asked curiously.


    "Because of this type of film..." Ryan briefly explained a few words, "It is almost impossible to pass the review of their relevant agencies."


    "So, you are focusing on the Japanese market?" George Lucas said of the relevant data he had read. "I heard that the Japanese box office of "Resident Evil 1" is close to 20 million U.S. dollars? The sales of DVDs are also extremely high. high?"


    "That''s because of the game." Ryan naturally knows why this movie is so popular in Japan. "Japanese game makers have also asked for sharing in peripheral revenue."


    Several people laughed at the same time, because this kind of thing is absolutely impossible.


    Now Hollywood would rather make some compromises at the box office than make concessions in peripheral areas.


    Ryan didn''t even have any plans to talk to the Japanese. Although the movie did borrow the game''s big hit, except for the game copyright, the other copyrights of "Resident Evil" are in his hands.


    How important peripheral copyrights are to Hollywood, the filming of "Star Wars" is the best example. From the first movie to the present, the box office of the movie has been thrown aside, and the peripherals alone have sold more than 200 Millions of dollars has created George Lucas¡¯s billion-dollar net worth.


    Most of Lucasfilm''s value is concentrated in this series.


    The shooting continues. According to George Lucas''s plan, in the first round of shooting before the Oscar, all the shots in the studio were ended. After April, it began to move between locations.


    "Ready, Ivan?" Ryan arranged his clothes, took a look at the main camera, and finally set his eyes on Ivan McGregor, "I hope you don''t get too heavy, otherwise..."


    "I believe you, Ryan." Ewan McGregor said quickly, "I believe you will not throw me to the ground."


    "Relax, I will never throw you on the ground." Ryan pointed to the three prop elevators in front of him, "I will definitely throw you down from the elevator."


    An assistant came over and reminded Ryan that they should prepare, and then the assistant director called to start.


    Ivan McGregor lay on the ground, Ryan picked him up on his shoulders and rushed towards the elevator, but he always felt that he had forgotten something, as if he had a question and didn¡¯t ask to understand it, and the assistant didn¡¯t explain it. Issues.


    Although Ivan is also a standard sportsman, with Ryan''s strength, there is absolutely no problem running with him in a short time, and soon he rushed to the prop elevator surrounded by blue screen.


    Seeing the elevator, Ryan suddenly understood that these three elevators are props, and only one of them can open the door...


    Which door can be opened? He forgot to ask, and the crew seems to have forgotten to say.


    However, you have already rushed over, can''t you just give up like this? The odds of choosing one of three are still very high, at least higher than the chance of choosing five of the twenty-five in the previous life.


    Without thinking about it, he rushed to the elevator on the far left, pressed the button to open the door, and the elevator door did not move at all.


    "Open Sesame..."


    Ewan McGregor seemed to understand something, and shouted on his shoulder.


    "Okay, we can do it again." Ryan quickly threw the heavy guy to the ground and asked loudly, "Who can tell me which door can be opened?"


    Such small mistakes will appear from time to time during the shooting, and after a second time, the lens passed smoothly.


    The most problematic is Anthony Daniels, who plays c-3*o. This old actor wears a shiny robot coat and face mask. He can''t see the road ahead. It often happens when he falls or collides with r2d2. In this more than a month, the model crew of r2d2 alone has changed two.


    In this shooting, George Lucas once again used all-digital photography and vowed to never use a film camera again.


    Of course, in the interview, he also claimed that this is the last work of his director career.


    "I plan to retire." George Lucas also revealed his plan to Ryan, "The era that belongs to us is over."


    "What about Lucasfilm?" Ryan looked at Lucas'' two daughters and a son nearby without showing a trace.


    Although his sons and daughters have guest roles in the movie, they are obviously not interested in the movie. The eldest daughter Amanda Lucas even told many people on the crew that she wants to become a professional fighter.


    "If you retire."


    Listen to it, George Lucas seems to really plan to retire after "Vengeance of the Sith" is completely finished. "I intend to let Kate take over my position and become the chairman of Lucasfilm."


    "It''s too early to talk about this, let''s finish this movie first." Kate in his mouth must be Catherine Kennedy, Ryan knows this.


    The crew occupies a total of two main studios and four small studios of the Fox Sydney Studios to set up scenes. At this moment, Ryan and others are still shooting the slaughter of Jedi youngsters in Studio 7 at this moment. The next shot is Back in the small studio covered with blue screens, I was in love with Padm¨¦ Amidala.


    However, from the scenes where Anakin and Padm¨¦ get along, it is enough to see that George Lucas is not good at dealing with emotional scenes, and the lines are turned over and over again.


    "My dear, I want to take our child to Naboo." The speaker was Natalie standing on the terrace in front of the blue screen, with her long brown wig. "We can go to the lake to live in seclusion," It¡¯s safe there and he can grow up healthy."


    "You really..." This is a line belonging to Ryan, "It''s beautiful!"


    "That''s because I love you so much."


    Just after Natalie finished speaking, Ryan replied almost the same sentence again, "No, it''s because I love you so much."


    "You mean the lover is particularly beautiful when she looks at her lover?"


    "No, I didn''t mean that."


    Participating in the filming personally, Ryan also understood that this emotional scene is considered the most **** and most failing plot in the Star Wars Prequel trilogy. It is not unreasonable. Past Natalie¡¯s Padm¨¦? Amidala saved this emotional drama to a certain extent. In this life, he joined himself. Although this drama still drew attacks, it was not as violent as the previous life.


    The most typical example is Anakin Skywalker, who has repeatedly become the winner of the golden plum in his previous life, disappeared from the list of golden plums announced in early March.


    As the media said he did not invest enough in this role, but he was far from the point of disaster.


    The execution of Lucas¡¯s shooting plan went smoothly. Although the completion of the scene in the studio was delayed by two days due to accidents of this kind during the shooting, the crew ended the shooting in Sydney before the Oscars ceremony. The cast and crew are those who participated in the Oscars, and they can also return to North America, while others can enjoy a vacation.


    Ryan¡¯s private jet took Lucas and other people who were about to return back to North America. The 75th Oscars ceremony is about to kick off amidst the controversy.


    Nowadays, the focus of the entire North America has long been on the traditional Oscars. Now that the war in Iraq is rekindled, countless anti-war activists strongly urge the cancellation of this awards ceremony and the direct announcement of the results.


    But the college will not make compromises easily. After all, this award ceremony involves all aspects of interest and will not be cancelled because of opposition and non-participation by a group of people.


    Besides, how many celebrities who called for the cancellation of the award ceremony will not attend? How many are on the show? rs

 Chapter 572： The most boos

    On the afternoon of March 23, US Western Time, the 75th Oscar Awards ceremony was staged on time, but this is destined to be the most intensely opposed award ceremony.


    Beginning two days ago, at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard, a large number of demonstrators supporting and opposed to the Iraq War gathered at the same time. Under the separation of the Los Angeles police, they were still crying slogans of wolves, and there was no excessively fierce conflict.


    Under the shadow of war, the style of Hollywood''s annual film event is obviously a bit solemn.


    Today, the anti-war team has nearly doubled and flocked to a place not far from the Kodak Theater. They held high writings such as''Bush betrayed the United States'',''Bush is a dangerous element'' and''Oscars demand peace''. The anti-war placard made a loud noise.


    And about half a block from the entrance of the Kodak Theater, the number of Americans who supported the war against Iraq far exceeded the anti-war crowd. They sang the praises of "America, America" ??with the words "God Bless America" ??in their hands. The brand of solidarity, with a greater momentum to suppress the wave of anti-war.


    Due to the special situation faced by this awards ceremony, although the organizers of this awards ceremony set up a red carpet, they cancelled the red carpet and TV interviews and other admission ceremonies. Some stars who opposed the war also wore anti-war prints. Brooch with slogan of war.


    Although individual stars and film directors refused to attend this Oscars ceremony in protest against the ongoing Iraq War between the United States and Britain, they were only a few of the few, and most of those who received the invitation from the academy showed up at the Kodak Theater on time.


    As for people like Will Smith who publicly refuse to attend, he is basically out of the best actor Oscar in his entire life, although actors like him have never been invited by the academy.


    First, when Ryan was threatened by al-Qaeda, and then with this wave of anti-war, security work naturally became the top priority.


    A few days before the Oscar ceremony, a National Guard and their mobile testing room were arranged to the scene. Responsible for testing suspicious substances, the FBI and the Los Angeles County Police Department have deployed capable forces at the Kodak Theater, and even arranged observation posts and snipers on top of several nearby buildings to prevent accidents.


    As the broadcaster of the Oscars, the TV station not only continuously broadcasts textual news about Iraq, but also broadcasts war videos at appropriate times.


    Although the Iraq War cast a shadow over the Oscars, many people in the industry predict that the ratings of this Oscar will be the lowest since the 1990s, but the TV station affiliated with Disney has become a big winner before the Oscars. It¡¯s just about The advertising fee for the awards ceremony was as high as 85 million U.S. dollars.


    Anyway. Calling for peace became another theme of this awards ceremony.


    Although there is no red carpet, most celebrities will say a few words to the media before entering the theater.


    When Ryan arrived, a reporter asked him-what do you think about holding an awards ceremony in this situation?


    "This kind of question should be asked to the president of the college, Pearson''s husband, right?" Although he pushed the question out of the question calmly, he still said, "Our values ??are being questioned all over the world. The event is very necessary!"


    What personality to play at this time is purely asking for trouble, and keeping consistent with the mainstream voice is the wisest choice.


    Although Hollywood¡¯s anti-war voice has always been loud, the actual implementation of the action is still the thunder and the rain. Only two or three unnominated people who said they would withdraw from the Oscars.


    What''s more, there are a large number of stars like Bruce Willis and Harrison Ford who supported the Iraq War.


    Almost all the activities before this awards ceremony were cancelled, and Ryan walked past the entrance where the reporters gathered. While greeting others, he walked into the theater, glanced roughly, and directly found the location of the crew of "The Moment".


    "Drew. Congratulations yet."


    Gently hugged Drew Barrymore who was sitting near the aisle, Ryan continued, "How does the best supporting actress feel?"


    "Just a nomination." Drew shrugged. He said indifferently, "It''s impossible to win a prize."


    She played the role of Julian Moore in the previous life, and got a nomination for best supporting actress through a series of operations, but her baby face was absolutely flawed.


    "Hi, Annie." Ryan turned to Nicole and greeted her sister first, "I wanted to visit you when I was filming in Sydney. I didn''t expect you to have come to Los Angeles."


    "Yes, you will be my boss from now on." Antonia Kidman also hugged him. She has joined the TV station.


    Finally, Ryan took Nicole''s hand, and the Australian girl wore a black evening dress with her long hair dyed in honey gold neatly coiled behind her head, revealing her smooth forehead and white face, showing her as much as she wanted. Your beautiful face.


    "Didn''t you tell me not to let you come?" The pair of golden eyebrows wrinkled slightly. This kind of occasion is a place where confusion and instability can easily occur.


    "I always want to see you stand on that stage again with my own eyes." Ryan cast his gaze on the stage of the Kodak Theater.


    "Okay, go back to your seat." Nicole also gave him a hug.


    After passing the "New York Gangs" seating area, I greeted Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan came to the seat of the "Lord of the Rings" crew, and his seat was again next to the New Zealand fat man Peter Jackson.


    "Peter, the second Oscar is nominated." Ryan said after sitting down.


    "Do you need me to thank you, Ryan?" Peter Jackson joked. "If I could stand on it, I would definitely thank you."


    "Hey, Ryan, where is our Princess Arwen?"


    Elijah Wood''s hand stretched out from behind, and Ryan shook him, "Charlie is out."


    After filming "Kill Bill", Charlize took on the next film. Because of the location in the Philippines, he had already greeted with the college that he would be absent.


    As Ryan appeared in Hollywood for longer and longer, the circle changed more and more. For example, Peter Jackson won the second best director nomination for "The Two Towers", such as Billy Chris. Tuo accepted the invitation again and became the host of this Oscars ceremony.


    "I am very happy to see that the organizer has lowered the standards of this awards show. Even the traditional red carpet has been cancelled. If you don''t know yet, I will bring you this message by the way."


    What remains unchanged is that after Billy Christo stood on stage, he was still showing off his tongue, as well as the routine nominated song joint skewers and so on.


    Subsequently, another big change occurred in this awards ceremony. Perhaps it was Ryan¡¯s extraneous relationship. The Best Animated Feature Film Award, which should have appeared last year, officially entered the Oscar this year, but won the first one. The animated feature film for the award has not changed.


    "In the past few years, we have seen excellent animated feature films come out one after another, which has brought us countless joys."


    The sunny Cameron Diaz with a big grin read out the nominations, "Spirited Away Hayao Miyazaki, Shrek, Jeremy Katzenberg, Star Baby "Chris Sanders, "Silver Island" Ron Clemmonds..."


    "The winner is..." She looked down at the envelope and read the same answer as everyone thought, "Jeffr Katzenberg of "Shrek"!"


    The people at DreamWorks Animation Studios immediately boiled over. Before taking the stage to accept the award, Jeff Katzenberg came over to hug Ryan.


    After Jeff Katzenberg stepped onto the stage, Ryan turned his head and looked at the Japanese. Only he knew that the best animated feature film in the previous life belonged to the Japanese.


    However, with "Shrek", the film academy will definitely no longer consider outsiders.


    The next few technical awards were mostly divided between "Chicago" and "The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers". The former won the best art direction, best editing and best costume design, and the latter won the best visual effect. And the best sound editing.


    But what surprised Ryan the most was that Jennifer Lopez once again became the guest of the Oscars. The Latin queen is obviously very capable. Fortunately, it is not to continue to present the best original song...


    The Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress as the opening highlight, unexpectedly fell to Chris Cooper and Catherine Zeta Jones. Compared with the last time he said hello, Mrs. Douglas stood up. pregnant.


    Hmm... From then on, she never seemed to regain her previous figure.


    Subsequently, Michael Moore took over the Golden Man of the best documentary from Diane Lynn, but the acceptance speech caused a boo of applause and greater than applause.


    "We live in an era where a false president was elected through false elections We live in an era where people let us go to war for false reasons."


    His spearhead was directed at the Bush administration and the Iraq war. Other people in the theater reacted differently. Some applauded, some stood up to pay tribute, and most booed.


    Ryan has no impression of the image of this fat director with glasses, but these words of the other party immediately reminded him of a documentary-"Fahrenheit 911".


    Isn''t he the director of this documentary?


    With his chin resting on it, Ryan felt that this kind of possibility was very great. Although Hollywood has never taken the Washington government seriously, there are probably not many people who openly criticize it on this occasion.


    Shaking his head, Ryan threw away these thoughts so that he wouldn''t mix in this kind of thing.


    "Fahrenheit 911" reflects some real situations, but what is said in the film is true? In essence, the director is no different from the federal government. In order to achieve his own goals, he does not hesitate to use a lot of lies. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 573： Annie, I love you!

    "The truck driver is helping Michael Moore hide in the back of his limousine."


    After the host Billy Christo stepped onto the stage, he used jokes to play down the obvious radical remarks just now.


    Probably the organizer is aware of the problems faced by this Oscar and deliberately put the best actor and actress award in the middle. After last year, the best actor once again appeared in front of the best actress.


    Because of the absence of Charlize Theron, the best actor''s awarding guest was replaced by legendary superstar Barbra Streisand.


    Ryan has also paid enough attention to this award. The one who won the award in the previous life is still struggling in the corner of Hollywood now. Whose head will this award fall on in this life? Did Leonardo DiCaprio, who was nominated, still refuse to invite the academy?


    "Leonardo DiCaprio "The Gangs of New York", Nicholas Cage "Adapted Screenplay", Michael Cain "The Quiet American", Jack Nicholson "About Schmidt"..."


    "The best actor tonight is..." Barbra Streisand opened the envelope and read the answer directly, "Michael Cain "The Quiet American."


    The veteran actor from the UK became the final winner. The former Oscar winner for best supporting actor finally stood on the highest podium.


    Looking at the gray-haired old actor, Ryan applauded, but another thought came into his mind. Last year¡¯s Oscars played down the political influence to a certain extent. This year, it seems that we must maintain sufficient political correctness?


    Britain is a die-hard ally of the United States. If uniting the British is a must now, what about the Australians?


    If you think about it from the other side of the ocean, Australia is the **** brother of the United States.


    As in the past, films and characters will never be the only factors for winning, there are so many things that can affect Oscars.


    Although the theme of the party is ¡®appropriately reflecting reality¡¯, and relevant adjustments are made according to the situation, although the black evening dresses of many stars have also set a solemn tone for the party. But when the pregnant Zeta Jones came to the stage to sing with her big belly, when the ruffian Eminem was talking and singing, and when scenes of bizarre images appeared on the stage again, Hollywood was still that Hollywood.


    Glamorous and drunken gold fans will always be an indispensable part of this circle.


    Two years ago, Ang Lee won the best foreign language film Oscar with the Chinese martial arts film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", gained countless prestige and money, and inspired the lingering Oscar plot of the opposite directors.


    Therefore, another director also appeared at this Oscar with a super martial arts production, wanting to shop for the best foreign language film.


    The publisher of "Hero" is Miramax. If Harvey Weinstein or Ryanken put all their efforts into public relations, this movie is not without hope of winning.


    But neither of them did so. Ryan''s resources are fully tilted towards Nicole. If he wants to get one of the best male and female protagonists three times in a row, how can it be possible without full public relations?


    As for Harvey Weinstein, he almost put all his energy on "Chicago" and "New York Gangs", and "Hero" is still some time before it will be released in North America. How can he promote it?


    Although the other party did some work after coming to North America. But without the support of outsiders, wanting to make a difference at the Oscars is destined to be just a dream.


    Penelope Cruz appeared on the stage as a guest of honor. "The following films: "The Sins of Father Amaro", "Where is My Home", "A Man Without a Past", "Heroes", and "Big Men When Married" were nominated for this year''s best foreign film.


    "These are all excellent movies. Unfortunately, there can only be one winner." She looked down, "Where is My Home". Congratulations Caroline Link!"


    A German film took away this year''s Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.


    This is no accident. Several old members of the college mentioned it at a party held by Nicole last Christmas. Compared with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero" is for Easterners, while the former is for Westerners.


    Others may not know, but Ryan, the investor, knows that when Li Ang adapted the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he first completed it in English and then translated it into Chinese. As for many expressions and details, they were all for the sake of Cater to the tastes of Americans.


    After Billy Christo made a few more jokes, last year''s best actor winner Russell Crowe stepped onto the stage, and he will be awarded the best actress.


    Ryan''s brows frowned slightly. If she had never won the Oscar for Best Actress, Nicole would have won the award almost logically, but only once a few years ago, which reduced the possibility of winning, Julian Moore and Rui Ni Zellweger is a rival.


    Russell Crowe on stage introduced the nomination list in conjunction with the pictures on the big screen, "Salma Hayek "Frida", Diane Lynn "Infidelity", Nicole Kidd Mann''s "All the Time", Julian Moore''s "Far From Heaven", Renee Zellweger "Chicago"."


    At the critical moment when deciding whether to win or not, Nicole''s eyes suddenly left the stage and accurately found where Ryan was. The moment she looked over, Ryan''s eyes also turned around, and the two smiled at the same time. , And then separated again with peace of mind.


    "Are you nervous?" Antonia Kidman asked in a low voice.


    Nicole shook her head slightly. This is not a few years ago. After experiencing so much in the past few years, even if she has any thoughts, she can perfectly control her emotions.


    Who will win the final prize? Ryan swept across the face of Russell Crowe, who had bowed his head. The other party was an important member of the Australian gang, and there was a slight smile on his lips.


    "Nicole Kidman, "The Moment", congratulations Nicole!"


    The fake nose was not in vain, and the resources invested were not in vain. Nicole ushered in the second Oscar queen in her life.


    After clapping his hands vigorously, Ryan stood up first, and everyone around him stood up. Then, with him as the center point, all the theater stood up and applauded, looking at the whiter and more white new movie queen set off by the black dress.


    Nicole hugs her sister, hugs the rest of the crew, and then takes a look here, walks onto the stage, and takes over the best actress, Golden Man from Russell Crowe.


    "Thank you academy! Thank you all the Oscar judges!"


    She stood in front of the microphone. Although she looked very happy, she was not too excited. "Thank you very much. I do have something to say, Russell. I am so happy to hear you! Thank you very much for reading mine. first name."


    "Thanks to Director Stephen Dardley, thank you Drew Barrymore, you are all the best partners, I thank you so much."


    "I have a lot to say! Thank you to all the staff of Flower Pictures and Jenkins Pictures. It is your collective efforts that made my success this time. Thank you Ryan, who has firmly supported me over the years. Li and Scott Swift."


    She paused, seeming to be organizing language.


    "I''m so excited to be standing here tonight. What I have to say is, when a world is in turmoil, why do you come to the Oscar awards site? Because of the importance of art! Because we firmly believe in our own business! We must stick to our responsibilities! This tradition must be carried forward!"


    "At the same time, there are indeed many problems in the world. After 9/11, many families have experienced the pain of bereavement, and now there is war again, and many families will lose their loved ones. God bless them!"


    "Finally, my sister Antonia was sitting over there..."


    She looked at Antonia Kidman, "She has given me too much support over the years, Annie, I love you!"


    Warm applause broke out in the theater again, and Nicole, who was standing in the best actress Oscar position for the second time, turned into the backstage.


    "You became a winner again."


    When sitting back in the chair, Ryan heard Peter Jackson''s low questioning voice, "Is there any trick, Ryan?"


    "Do all the work that should be done."


    This kind of occasion is not a place to exchange public relations experience, Ryan just casually replied.


    Although Nicole was able to win the award, it was the result of a combination of many factors, but she finally got the second best actress in the golden man. Anyway, Ryan thinks that at this point, she completely surpassed her. Past life.


    Of course, when it comes to her status and achievements in Hollywood, she has already thrown away even Nicole Kidman from the peak of her previous life.


    When I turned my head to look at the crew of "The Moment", I saw Nicole and Antonia Kidman whispering, and Ryan turned his gaze back to the stage.


    Without "The Pianist", will Oscar choose Martin Scorsese? Although the other party¡¯s style is really not popular with the mainstreamThe winner of the best director is..."


    After a few words that the Iraq War was not so bad, Harrison Ford finally opened the envelope, "Rob Marshall, "Chicago."


    The Kodak Theater was strangely quiet for half a second, and then there was enthusiastic applause. Some people looked at the lucky Rob Marshall, but more people looked at Martin Scorsese, the famous The director''s face is hard to say.


    Regardless of the quality of the film, on various factors such as seniority and prestige, Martin Scorsese has completely exploded Rob Marshall, but the best director has fallen to his home.


    Ryan''s gaze crossed Rob Marshall and directly found Harvey Weinstein, this fat guy did have a lot of experience in public relations, and Rob Marshall was able to win the prize, so he must have spent a lot of effort.


    This is destined to belong to an Oscar of "Chicago". After getting the best director, Kirk Douglas and Michael Douglas, who jointly presented the awards, handed over the best film to this film. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 574： To make money after all

    No matter how flashy and vanity the party is, the people participating in the party always have a certain spirit of integrity on their faces. Those grand or subtle emotions can always be controlled just right. Everyone is well dressed, expecting people to feel it. Their temptation, if you have the heart, can even see the stigma of war and politics, the colors of popular culture and fashion in them.


    This is the Vanity Fair party of the Oscar night. In the outside world, it is synonymous with drunken fans, like a mirror, which contains everything about Hollywood.


    Whether it is an anti-war or a supporter of the war, after sitting in the same theater, they will also appear at this party. As for the life and death of Iraqi civilians in the war, how many people on both sides will really care?


    Compared to Iraq, they hope to congratulate the best actress tonight, and by the way have a good relationship with Ryan Jenkins who is standing next to her, so that the future development in Hollywood will definitely be smoother.


    Even if you missed the awards, you can also star in those high-return commercial movies. A small supporting role in "Captain America" ??turned the previously unknown Ryan Gosling into a popular star, and the pay has soared to the point. Eight million U.S. dollars; a series of "X-Men", which brought Hugh Jackman to the throne of the first-line star, and Universal paid 18 million U.S. dollars for his new film...


    And that Orlando Bloom, besides being a little more handsome, what else? But through the "Lord of the Rings", it is said to be shooting another big production trilogy series.


    Ryan seems to have infinite resources in his hands, but unfortunately the lucky ones are extremely limited, and they all want to be the next.


    It''s just that after spending more than ten minutes at the party, Ryan can''t remember how many strange faces he has shook hands with. If it hadn''t been for Nicole to come here enthusiastically, I''m afraid he would not be here.


    "Okay, dear." Ryan pulled her arm, and Nicole, who was talking with someone, turned her head. "Is there a problem?".


    "We should go back." He pointed to the watch on his hand.


    "Oh, I almost forgot." Nicole quickly turned her head and said to the person opposite, taking Ryan''s arm and snatching the best actress statuette in his hand, "Okay, Let''s go home quickly, Alison is still waiting at home."


    "She should complain again."


    Enter the elevator, go directly to the parking lot, the driver and bodyguards have been waiting here. Ryan and the two got in the car and left the Hilton Hotel.


    It''s been half an hour since I got home, and just walked into the villa, Taylor ran over and gave Nicole a big hug.


    "Congratulations, Nicole." The little girl took the little golden man in Nicole''s hand, and when she took her to the living room, she didn''t forget to turn her head and sway Ryan, "This is Nicole''s first Two Best Actresses. Dear Ryan, when will you get your second Best Actress?"


    "A few years later." Ryan walked into the living room and replied casually.


    Strictly speaking, he took the actor or queen three times in a row. Even if it is based on the balance of the cake, it is difficult for the college to consider him in a short time.


    Unless there is a role like Forrest Gump that not only conforms to the mainstream, but also allows actors to shine.


    I''ve already taken it once anyway. Ryan is no longer in a hurry, and the time will be long.


    "Nicole, you didn''t thank me."


    Waiting for Nicole to sit on the sofa. Taylor hugged her like a little girl begging for candy, "I helped you too. I once told George, Stephen, and James, if they don¡¯t vote for you, I¡¯ll take them All his beards are shaved."


    "Honey, do you want the reporter to turn you out now?" Nicole pushed her back and said to Ryan, who hung up her coat, "Honey, pour me a glass of water."


    "Coffee or black tea?"


    "Clear water will do."


    Bringing three glasses of water and placing them on the coffee table in front of the sofa, Ryan took Nicole''s golden figure from Taylor, opened the glass showcase and placed it in the center of a pile of trophies.


    It contains a variety of film awards from Europe, Hollywood and Australia, among which the most important are naturally the two Oscars for best actress statuettes.


    "In a few years..."


    Taylor also came over, looked at the large and small trophies in the showcase with his arms folded, and said with a pouting, "I must have collected more phonographs than these."


    "Do you need me to hold a celebration party for you?". Ryan rubbed her braided blond curly hair, "It''s getting late, you should go to rest, dear."


    "Okay." The little girl nodded, and when she walked up the stairs, she turned her head and said deliberately, "Don''t worry, I won''t disturb you."


    Afterwards, Ryan and Nicole also went back to the second floor. After a busy night, they were indeed a little tired.


    "Are you leaving Los Angeles again?"


    After Nicole came out of the shower, she found Ryan in her pajamas and was checking the schedule, "About how long?"


    "It''s hard to tell, it depends on the specific shooting situation." Ryan put down the file and clapped Nicole who was standing in front of the bed. "Come here, dear."


    The pale blue eyes turned upwards, and Nicole circled around, walked to the other side of the bed, sat cross-legged on it, and then asked for Ryan''s schedule and scanned it roughly.


    "Going to so many places for shooting?" She frowned.


    "This is the final chapter of George''s Star Wars." Ryan put the goose down quilt on her. "He definitely wants to make something better. A few days ago, George even told me that he wanted to retire. ."


    "This series has made George, but also restricted George." Nicole returned the schedule, tilted his body, and lay in his arms. "Is he really willing to retire?"


    "It''s just this intention." Ryan made a gesture that you understand. "It is estimated that if it is implemented, it will take at least five years from now."


    Nicole moved a bit and found a more comfortable position. "When I went to Disney a few days ago, I heard Robert said that you are in contact with the Chinese side and want to hold a premiere for "The Return of the King" in China?"


    "Yes." Ryan turned to kiss her on the cheek, "You know, Nicole, I had this idea when "Captain America" ??was released, but it didn''t come true. Now "The Return of the King" has passed them The approval over there can be released at the same time, and the North American market has gone through the first two films, and there is no need to spend too much effort in publicity. I want to use this film to further open the Chinese market so that the audience over there can see What is a real big production."


    Sniffing Nicole¡¯s hair, he clamped a strand of blond hair between his fingers, and he continued, ¡°I want them to understand, a movie like "Hero". There is nothing in front of "The Return of the King". Chinese movie fans look for Jenkins Films and Ryan Jenkins as the name, it is best to form a huge brand effect."


    The advantages of the first mover are huge, and if you wait until the next few years, the previously established advantages will not be left.


    However, Nicole is the person who knows him best after all, pointing to the essence of the matter, "My dear, there is no need to explain in such a detailed way. After all, I just go there to make money."


    "I never denied this." Ryan said of course, "I also want to talk to their government about Disney''s amusement park project by the way."


    Now is undoubtedly the best opportunity. After a few years, the relationship between the two sides of the Pacific will become cold, and it will definitely be more troublesome.


    What Ryan wants to do is simple. Strive for the greatest benefit for yourself at the most suitable opportunity.


    The world situation was turbulent this year, and China was also unstable, and ** also appeared.


    originally. Ryan considered canceling the premiere, but only through Disney''s Far East branch did he know that, although the ** had been raging for a while. But the situation is far less serious than in the previous life. Especially after the World Health Organization took the lead in issuing a travel alert internationally, the other side had to release information to the public and take relevant measures early to curb widespread dissemination. The result was caused by the epidemic. The impact is far less than the previous life.


    In mid-March, the World Health Organization cancelled the relevant alert.


    The Iraq War started for a few days, and the Oscars ceremony was held as scheduled. No matter how fierce the fighting between the coalition forces and Iraq is, Hollywood is still singing and dancing, and the entertainment version will not be stingy, and still report on this event on a large scale.


    There is not much space about Nicole, and she won the best actress with little controversy.


    The biggest controversy comes from the best director.


    "Martin Scorsese is lost again! Martin Scorsese is completely lost!"


    "Patience with humiliation, the hero should be declining..."


    Such sympathetic remarks are pervasive in the entertainment pages of major media, and there are even some people who are more sympathetic to the old Martin, claiming that this is another teasing of Martin Scorsese by the college.


    However, these have become a foregone conclusion, and one of the four major directors needs to accumulate in order to win.


    Ryan will go to Tunisia to join the crew after finishing some work and continue the filming of "The Revenge of the Sith".


    What he pays attention to, first of all, is the box office of several films released on the Thanksgiving Christmas file last year.


    "Captain America" ??is obviously not strong enough after the initial enthusiasm It was sold off in North America as early as February, and it won a total of US$288.9 million in the North American box office, plus the overseas releases. In the region, the total box office has exceeded 450 million U.S. dollars. According to Marvel Comics¡¯ estimates, the final global box office will be around 600 million U.S. dollars.


    The box office of this movie can barely recover the cost, but it has driven a large amount of sales around it. In the past few months, only comics about Captain America, Black Widow, and Wolverine have been sold in Europe and the United States. One million U.S. dollars.


    The situation is similar to "Harbi Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". The box office of this film in North America has dropped a lot from the first one, and it received about 280 million US dollars, but the bulk of its revenue has always come from the surrounding areas.


    A successful movie can often rescue a company in difficulty. "Shrek" is undoubtedly a typical example. Behind its North American box office of more than 270 million US dollars, it is the same hot peripheral products.


    In less than half a year, DreamWorks Animation Studio not only recovered the cost, but also achieved huge profits. The production of the second part had already begun.


    If time can turn back, the Big Three of DreamWorks will certainly not easily transfer so many shares to Ryan. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 575： Evil. Religion harms people

    Tunisia is located at the northernmost point of the African continent. It is one of the few countries in the world where beaches, deserts, mountains and forests and ancient civilizations are concentrated. Cheap products and hospitable customs.


    Since entering April, the ancient city of Carthage in Tunisia has become more lively than ever before, and the crew of "Star Wars 3" came here for shooting.


    Although strictly abide by the management regulations of the ancient city of Carthage, after communication, the crew built a large-scale blue screen in a spacious area, and the filming also attracted a large number of tourists to stop and watch.


    Regarding the shots taken here, Ryan was very strange. He was sure that none of the movies and extended DVDs released in the previous life were included. It should be a plot completely abandoned by George Lucas in post-production.


    However, he still completes his work meticulously, even if most of the time, Master Yoda facing him is either air or just a small cylinder wrapped in a blue screen.


    "I''m fed up with the hypocrisy of the Jedi Knights. You used selflessness and justice as an excuse to kidnap the entire Republic on your will."


    With the ancient city of Carthage as the background, Ryan, dressed as Anakin Skywalker, held a blue chrome-plated rubber rod and pointed directly at Master Yoda who did not actually exist under the blue screen on the opposite side. ¡°There can be no love, no family. , You can¡¯t have private property, you can¡¯t have family affection, you can¡¯t even have your own thoughts, you can only care for the world with selfless compassion..."


    Anakin seemed paranoid, but what he said was sensible.


    "Skywalker, give up these dangerous thoughts and don''t fall into the darkness."


    In order to increase the feeling of the drama, the actor who dubbed Master Yoda read the lines next to him, "These will only turn into the original force in the end."


    "The Force? What a high-sounding reason." Ryan''s expression contained indescribable mockery, "If we wipe out and contain the beautiful feelings of mankind one by one. How can selflessness and compassion start? This so-called so-called. I am afraid that selflessness can only come from a condescending sense of superiority and paranoid sense of justice, right?"


    "This... is the Jedi!" His voice was full of hatred, "What is the difference between the force of the Jedi and the force of darkness?"


    "Anakin..."


    "Let''s compete in swordsmanship!"


    Interrupting the unfinished words, Ryan waved the chrome-plated rubber rod and made several beautiful moves one after another, strictly following the pre-designed routine, and fought against the air in front of him.


    The filming came to an end for a while, Ryan threw the rubber rod to the assistant of the crew, walked into the trailer on the side, replaced the black Jedi uniform that was almost soaked in sweat, and simply washed it.


    After the bang knock on the door. Natalie walked in with their lunch, Ryan put on loose casual clothes and turned on the air conditioner.


    "What''s for lunch?" He looked at Natalie who was sitting at the table and fiddling with cutlery.


    "Beef stew with potatoes, Spanish seafood bibimbap, Madrid ham soup." She cleared the table and went to make a pot of coffee. "You have been shooting all morning, should you be hungry? Eat quickly."


    "It''s still you comfortable. Just filmed two scenes and it was done."


    Sitting across from her, Ryan took the stainless steel cutlery, and Natalie swallowed the beef in her mouth and muttered. "I am a complete vase in Revenge of the Sith."


    "I''m going back in a few days," she said again.


    "Why is it so fast?" Ryan picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.


    "Don''t you forget?" Natalie complained, "I will graduate soon, and many things need to go back to Harvard to deal with."


    "of course not."


    The two talked while eating. Natalie also has no plans to continue her studies. After returning to New York to deal with some personal affairs, she will directly settle in Los Angeles. She made an appointment with Scarlett Johansson to be a neighbor.


    The weather here is relatively hot, and the shooting in the afternoon will not continue until late. After dinner, Ryan and Natalie sat together and chatted about the scene filmed in Tunisia.


    The script of this play was also handed over to the actors after arriving in Tunisia. It was obviously George Lucas who had newly joined it.


    "It feels like George wants to pass the words of Anakin and Master Yoda..." Natalie held the coffee cup and talked about her own thoughts, "express more things."


    "It''s normal."


    Sitting next to her, Ryan nodded in agreement, "This may be the last movie directed by George. He definitely wants to make Star Wars a perfect end."


    "He seems to have more thoughts about the Jedi Knights."


    After that, Natalie looked at Ryan and suddenly asked, "What do you think?"


    "which aspect?"


    Ryan took Natalie¡¯s coffee cup, walked to the table and filled a cup again. After returning, Natalie said, ¡°For example, to Anakin, the Jedi, Master Yoda and Master Windu, etc. Isn¡¯t the media always saying that George is alluding to the politics of modern society, what do you think?"


    "Do you really want to hear?" Ryan suddenly laughed, and Natalie couldn''t help rolling her eyes, knowing that this guy was going to say something wrong, but nodded with interest, "Want to hear."


    "History has proven that there is one thing. Organizations under the banner of annihilating human sentiment and democracy are all cults."


    This is just a private discussion between the two people. Natalie will not spread it out. Ryan naturally has no scruples when he speaks. "Think about it. Obi-Wan has said several times that Kui Gang and Jin Huai are not met, and Earl Dooku left directly, even Even Master Yoda complained about the impurity of the Jedi. This was supposed to be an ascetic group, but it had to join the world and participate in politics, and once wanted to control the parliament. How does this organization feel?"


    "Falsehood." Although Natalie replied, there was a clear disapproval on her face.


    Ryan didn¡¯t bother to persuade the girl, and continued to say, ¡°Attachment to relatives and yearning for love are the most beautiful feelings of mankind. From this perspective, Anakin¡¯s pursuit is not wrong, but Jedi What did the meeting do when faced with the distress he complained about?"


    Natalie slowly sipped her coffee and gestured to please continue.


    "It''s just saying some vain and ethereal rhetoric." Ryan, the Anakin actor, seemed very touching. "Master Windu is like a Soviet bureaucrat who pays attention to class struggle, and Master Yoda...not to mention it."


    "Okay..." Natalie barely dropped the coffee cup. She squirmed and asked deliberately, "Well...if you are replaced, Ryan, how do you want to design these plots?"


    "Anakin retired from the Jedi Knights and established a new organization with Padm¨¦ Amidala."


    Now what he said is purely a joke among lovers, almost nonsense, "Doesn¡¯t Padm¨¦ have a maid? Look for the most beautiful one, just the one played by Sofia, to seduce the old Obi-Wan The virgin, and then think of a way to win over Earl Dooku. Don¡¯t they have a Jedi Knight? Let¡¯s build a knights holy Order and form a triangle of checks and balances with the Jedi Knights and the Sith Emperor, and make mutual checks and balances. It¡¯s a true balance of force."


    "Uh..." Natalie looked over deliberately, while Ryan continued to joke, "In this way, the Sith the Great will not become a wicked Nazi, and the Jedi will not turn into a totalitarian and misguided Soviet Union and be destroyed. Anakin has the power and power to live with his mother. The stepfather and younger brother and his wife will not die tragically. At the same time, they will have a complete love with Padm¨¦¡¯s siblings and their children will grow up healthy and will not become premature babies."


    Having said that, he finally came to a summary sentence, "Cults harm people!"


    "My dear, don''t include some of your practices in reality." Natalie tilted her head and looked at him for a while, and said, "If you shoot as you say, the box office of the movie must be very bleak."


    "Wow, is Nat also considering the box office of the movie?" Ryan turned to her face, and Natalie deliberately hit his forehead with her forehead. "That''s the end of the joke, I''m going back." Take a nap."


    Regardless of George Lucas¡¯ true thoughts, every Star Wars fan will always have his own unique view of the Jedi Knights and the Skywalker family, and Ryan¡¯s jokes are just one of them.


    The crew shot in Tunisia. In addition to the newly added Ryan and Master Yoda''s head-on conflict, there are also several battle scenes and plots of the Jedi being attacked by clone soldiers. Generally speaking, the filming time spent here is not It will be too long.


    Most of the shooting time Ryan needs to stand in front of the blue screen and compete with the air.


    In today''s big Hollywood productions, whether it is epic or science fiction, more and more shots need to be completed in front of the curtain, and actors acting against the air are just the most basic quality.


    However, from these newly designed plots, Ryan can vaguely see the conflict of George Lucas'' thoughts. If nothing else, these plots may not be used a lot.


    ¡°In the prequel trilogy, it¡¯s not just Anakin Skywalker who needs to change.¡± George Lucas once said in private discussions, ¡°There are also Jedi Knights, Obi-Wan and Master Yoda. I will think about the past dogma and way of dealing with the Jedi Knights, and then there will be more humane Luke and Leah."


    Ryan will not express too much opinion on this. This is the work of George Lucas. Even his teacher who is touted to the sky may not understand this series as well as him.


    After staying in Tunisia for half a month, the crew ended the related scenes and detoured to London, while Natalie ended all the Padm¨¦ Amidala shots in the film and returned directly to North America. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 576： Russian Jewish

    Most of the filming in London is just framing, Ryan has very few shots, and he has more time to deal with his own affairs.


    The Harry Potter series has been temporarily stopped since "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was off the gear. Chris Columbus removed the directorship. This series has also been transferred from Jenkins Pictures to Walt Disney Pictures. Ye, at Ryan¡¯s instruction, they are negotiating with David Yates about the director.


    The other party has agreed to direct this series, and the most disagreement between the two sides is on the number of signings.


    He is only the first candidate. Disney is still in contact with Alfonso Cuar¨®n and is also putting pressure on David Yates in disguise. For these directors who are far from reaching the first line, direct the "Harry Potter" series. It is definitely a huge temptation.


    At present, the work of the entire series has been temporarily stopped. On the one hand, the crew of the crew needs a long vacation, and on the other hand, the young actors have entered a period of rapid development.


    Children in this time period will change almost every month. If you continue to shoot now, it would be no less than a disaster.


    Disney is also waiting for them to go through the fastest growing period, and is also waiting for Zhang Qiu''s candidate selected by China.


    In order to further pry into the vast market across the ocean, Disney gradually adopted the style of Ryan, and used all reasonable and legal methods.


    In addition to the "Harry Potter" series, Ryan is also concerned about Manchester United in the United Kingdom, this team is about to win his first Premier League title after taking over.


    Speaking of, he has also been criticized a lot by Fleet Street, because he has never appeared in the stands at Old Trafford after he bought Manchester United.


    However, Manchester United in this world has not assumed any debts. As Ryan promised, Manchester United''s income is all invested in the operation of the club, and the fans and the media can''t pick out too many thorns.


    Even if they say something. With Ryan''s character, he wouldn''t care.


    Arriving in London, there is still free time. On the weekend, Ryan came to Old Trafford to watch Manchester United''s key to winning the championship after reversing Arsenal in the standings.


    Sitting in the Manchester United VIP box, Ryan looked at the crowded Old Trafford Stadium, chatting with David Gill next to him, and waiting for the game to start.


    "I heard that the conflict between David Beckham and Ferguson is sharp?" He directly asked about the flying shoes incident that he had only heard of after coming to the UK.


    If it weren''t for some relevant reports from the newspapers. Ryan would not remember that the flying shoe door had appeared.


    "According to the manager."


    He probably heard that Ryan seemed to have such a friendship with the Beckhams. David Gill hesitated for a while before saying, "After this season, David will be put on the transfer market."


    "That''s it." Ryan squeezed his chin.


    In fact, there is no need to consider such a problem at all. It is too simple to choose between David Beckham and Alex Ferguson and whom to give up.


    Anyway, Manchester United was also when he competed with Michael Eisner. Incidentally, the team bought, as long as it can maintain or increase in value is enough.


    Just as Ryan and David Gil were talking about the club, the Manchester United staff led other people into this box.


    This was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and he saw Ryan immediately after sitting down. Quickly got up and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Mr. Jenkins, I didn''t expect to meet you here."


    "Hello there¡­¡­"


    Ryan shook the opponent''s hand. I immediately recognized who he was, "If you didn''t admit your mistake, you are Mr. Abramovich?"


    "Roman. Just call me Roman." The Russian Jewish descent was quite polite.


    "Well, Roman, nice to meet you."


    Putting aside geography and ideology, the other party does have the qualifications to sit on an equal footing with him in terms of net worth alone, "You can call me Ryan."


    "You..." Ryan looked at the bottom of the court, "Roman, why are you here."


    "I am going to buy Chelsea."


    This incident has spread throughout the United Kingdom a long time ago, and Abramovich has no intention of concealing it, "I have been there to watch the recent Chelsea game."


    In the light of his eyes, Ryan saw David Gill nod his head slightly, and some related memories gradually appeared in his mind. Chelsea in his previous life seemed to be the owner of this year?


    However, he heard that Donald Trump had been in contact with Chelsea''s management, and now it seems that there is no more to follow.


    "The acquisition was not so smooth." Abramovich is a smart man and he knows what is behind Ryan. A Russian oligarch like him wants to be accepted by the Western world. It is a must to make friends with the upper-level figures in Europe and the United States. In the same situation as you did at the time, the fans and the media were very opposed to it."


    "Don''t care too much about the media." Ryan waved his hand casually, pointing to the full seated Old Trafford stadium and said, "Roman, look at this stadium, in fact, the attendance rate has not decreased, as long as you can make Chelsea a real The strong team, those opponents will soon become your firm supporters."


    Although the opponent is the same as himself, the acquisition of the team is for a different purpose, but Ryan admits that this Russian still likes football very much, and from the situation of his previous life, he is much more involved than himself.


    To put it bluntly, Abramovich likes football on the one hand. On the other hand, he really wants to enter the British and even the upper class of the West, which is dominated by the United Kingdom and the United States. He thinks that he may be liquidated in the future and seek more protection.


    Although his wealth benefited more from the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the Russian environment, he would definitely not be an idiot if he could get to where he is today, and how many rich Jewish idiots can the world find?


    Probably seeing Ryan¡¯s attitude is more kind, not as arrogant and rude as the British. After the two talked a few things about the team, Abramovich tried to ask, "This time I will be in the UK. How long to stay? If possible, can you invite you to my party next week?"


    "Sorry, Roman."


    Chatting is one thing, standing together is another thing. Ryan refused without hesitation, "You know, I''m filming "Star Wars," and it''s impossible to leave the crew for a long time."


    "That''s really a shame." Abramovich appeared very sincere.


    "There is a chance." Ryan said politely.


    Afterwards, the topic of the two returned to football. After the two teams finished warming up, they soon appeared on the stadium again. With the referee''s whistle, the game kicked off.


    Chelsea in this era can only be regarded as a pseudo-strong team. It is not an opponent of Manchester United at all. The game is almost completely controlled by Manchester United. Within half an hour of the opening, Chelsea were defeated by Van Nistelrooy and Paul Skole. Si knocked on the door one after another.


    "I want to build Chelsea into a strong team..." Abramovich seemed to have a feeling, "Chelsea needs stars, and stars like Andre."


    "Andre?" Ryan didn''t understand who he was talking about.


    "Andrei Shevchenko." The other party briefly explained, "My good friend, I really hope to cooperate with him."


    It turned out to be the big pit, Ryan thought so, and said a few words at random, then returned his gaze to the court.


    There was basically no suspense in the game. After Manchester United took the lead, the situation was firmly controlled. In the second half, Diego Forlan''s header and David Beckham''s free kick turned the score to four to zero, and the game completely entered garbage time. .


    After winning this game, Manchester United led Arsenal by nine points in the standings, and this season''s Premier League title is already in the bag.


    Ryan did not continue to watch the game. When the game was over 20 minutes, he left with David Gill, and Roman Abramovich also followed.


    "Now Manchester United is one of the best teams in Europe."


    As he said, he and Ryan walked towards the dedicated parking lot, "The future Chelsea will definitely be one of them."


    "I look forward to Manchester United meeting Chelsea again next season." Ryan also said politely, although he is not the same, there is no need to pour ice water on the opponent''s outstretched hand.


    Football is just an adjustment in Ryan''s life. After returning to London, he quickly left Manchester United and Abramovich behind.


    The former is stared by a professional accountant team, and Ryan doesn¡¯t worry about what they do for black gold. If someone dares to do this, he doesn¡¯t care if the other party is an honorary knight canonized by the Queen of England. He will definitely make him pay a sufficient price.


    As for the latter, although both belong to Jewish descent, the nationality of the other party destined that they will not belong to the same front.


    The crew stayed in London for more than ten days. George Lucas also borrowed the relevant equipment from the London studio to simply process some of the shots taken in advance. If there are people who are not satisfied, they can reshoot them in time~www.novelhall.com ~In addition to completing the part of Anakin, Ryan is also dealing with the business of Disney movies. He has been serving as the creative director.


    This week, he just approved the project of "National Treasure". The previous life was a movie produced by Disney, which once again fell into the hands of Touchstone Pictures. Later, when the movie was casting, Sophia Coppola made a special call. Although it is not obvious, it also revealed a few words about Nicholas Cage taking part in the audition.


    Although he didn¡¯t have much friendship with the later king of bad movies, he still had a good relationship with Sophia Coppola. Ryan simply greeted the people at Touchstone Pictures. Anyway, the previous life Nicholas Cage did a good job, and it is still him in this life. All right.


    By the way, there is also "Evil Rider". This series has a mediocre box office, but it can still make money even if you count the surroundings. The copyright is in the hands of Surprise, and it can be put on the agenda.


    Of course, this kind of role that is not very popular will not appear in the plans of the big series.


    After London, the crew will move to Guilin, China, where Ryan will also complete the final part of Anakin Skywalker. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 577： Meaningful exercise

    "Hi, Charlie, is your part complete?"


    After dialing Charlize''s portable phone, Ryan walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the suite and looked at the London Eye, which had only appeared a few years ago, "Is it still in the Philippines?"


    Charlize''s voice came from the receiver, "Well...I''m still in Manila, my part has been completed? Honey, are you in London? Then I will let the plane fly directly to London."


    "Don''t come here for now."


    As soon as this sentence was finished, Charlize''s question came from the other side, "Why?"


    "I am going to China with the crew soon."


    Switching the phone to another hand, Ryan thought for a while and continued, "Let¡¯s do it, Charlie, you let the business jet fly directly to Hong Kong or Taipei, and then transfer to Guilin, China. See you at the hotel you booked. Up."


    He said a rough location and the name of the hotel.


    "Then... okay." Charlize asked after responding, "Don''t you want to make the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" in China? It just so happens that I''m going to take a vacation, how about going with you?"


    "no problem."


    Ryan responded and heard the footsteps coming from behind. When he looked back, John made a gesture to this side. He nodded and said to the phone, "I should start here, and we will contact you later. "


    "Well, goodbye, dear."


    Hearing the beep and disconnection from the phone, Ryan left the study, his luggage was already packed.


    Going down to the lobby on the first floor, George Lucas and others joined together. The group rushed towards the airport by car. Most of the people would take Ryan¡¯s private jet, and the equipment had already been checked in by air.


    A lot of electronic products are involved, and there have been specialized personnel to go in advance to handle the relevant procedures.


    And the detective team behind Ryan in the past few months has also withdrawn to the United States. He is going to shoot movies and talk about business, so if you bring such a team of people. He will definitely be blacklisted in the future, and maybe even be deported.


    It has been almost half a year since Al Qaeda issued the threat, Ryan has not encountered any dangerous situation at all, and as a public figure in Hollywood to China, there is no need to consider security and terrorist issues, not to mention that he will not be stupid. Run to the west.


    "The 20th Century Fox is also negotiating with the Chinese film industry group."


    After the plane took off, Ryan and other people sat in the front cabin and talked about opening up the Chinese market. George Lucas also talked about the movie being shot. "If nothing else, "The Revenge of the Sith" will premiere at the same time in China and the United States."


    "When do you plan to release it?"


    After the flight attendant poured coffee, Ryan made a please gesture to George Lucas and Ivan McGregor, "Last year''s Blue Mountains."


    "It tastes good." After taking a sip, George Lucas continued the topic, "It will be 2005 at the earliest. This movie needs too many special effects lenses."


    "Indeed." Ryan nodded in agreement.


    At this time in his previous life, he had already entered the theater and became a projectionist. Naturally, there are still some memories of the Hollywood movies that were released in China later.


    "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith" was released at the same time in China and the United States. Because of the time difference, China even predates the United States. The film also set a box office record for the premiere day in China at that time.


    Regarding the current Chinese film market, Ryan has always conducted detailed investigations. Perhaps he started to intervene in the early 1990s, especially the "Jurassic Park", "True Lies" and "Titanic". Great impact. It seems that there are more screens than the vague impression in the previous life, and the market is a bit larger.


    However, while he and other major Hollywood companies were still working hard for simultaneous releases on both sides of the Pacific. As early as last year, a Hollywood film called "The Woman in the Courtyard" did this.


    The other party has an innate advantage-a producer from China, all the outdoor scenes are from Suzhou gardens and Zhouzhuang waterscapes, and they are also telling a story about the Chinese-these Walt Disney will definitely not be able to do it for the time being, after all, the North American market It is still the mainstream now.


    When a group of Chinese actors are used to shoot stories that have nothing to do with Americans, the film will basically hit the streets.


    Even the "Hero", which is being released hotly in North America, seems to have brought the popularity of Chinese martial arts films. The movie posters even appeared on the cover of "Time", but more than 70% of the theaters were released. Located in or close to Chinese and Asian communities.


    Only in this way can we ensure sufficient attendance and box office figures.


    Because of the government¡¯s proper handling, the ** ended early, and the World Health Organization canceled China¡¯s ** warning for some time. Work and life here have returned to normal a long time ago, and the film industry that has been hit must not only recover. It may even usher in a short peak.


    "Lord of the Rings 1" got 72.5 million yuan in box office here, which was second only to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone" at the box office of the introduced film that year, and "Lord of the Rings 2" landed on the theaters here last year. , Did not crash into the ** like the previous life, and became the box office champion of China''s imported movies last year with 79.9 million.


    The first two parts have already shown great appeal and influence here. Ryan believes that bringing the chapter of the end with him will definitely create a new peak in the introduction of films, although it will certainly not break "Titanic". The record, but I think it can further attract the audience''s attention to Hollywood movies, thereby sharing more market share.


    He came to China for business. As for saving the film industry and supporting such a dreamy mission as Hollywood, the filmmakers here are more suitable than him.


    Besides, if a country does not have a dominant position in the world or a universally recognized culture, can the country¡¯s film industry be completely internationalized?


    After arriving in Guilin smoothly, on the way from the airport to the booked hotel, Ryan also made a special observation. There were crowds of cars and people, and there were crowds of people in the several squares passing by. Everything looked normal. That scene A disease that has been suppressed before it has formed enough power does not seem to have much impact.


    These also made Ryan feel at ease.


    I don''t know if the news was leaked in advance, or the crew made a special arrangement. When they came to the booked hotel, a large number of reporters gathered here, among which many fans holding Star Wars posters could be seen.


    After signing a few names and beckoning to them, Ryan walked into the hotel under the **** of several bodyguards.


    On the deck next to the lobby, a blonde girl stood up and walked over in a few steps, Qiao Sheng occupied the opposite side of him.


    "Aren''t you happy to see me, dear?" Charlize got stuck in his sunglasses and looked at this side with his arms folded.


    "You move really fast." Ryan stepped forward and hugged her hard, "When did you arrive."


    "It''s been a few hours." Charlize kissed him without hesitation. "When I got off the plane, I came directly to the hotel you booked."


    "Let''s go back to the room and talk about it." Ryan had noticed that some people in the hotel had come over, pulled Charlize and walked towards the elevator, and at the same time introduced some people from the crew to her.


    The crew booked two full floors in this hotel, and seemed to have gotten some instructions. The hotel also appointed a fixed service staff for the two floors. In the enviable eyes of some people in the crew, Ryan pulled Charlize into him. s room.


    "On the way to the hotel."


    Charlize placed the luggage of the two of them and sat beside Ryan and said, "The two taxi drivers actually knew me, and they asked me for a signed photo."


    "My dear, don''t forget that you are an Oscar queen." Ryan shook his head. The view like Charlize is too normal among Hollywood stars. "Then you gave it?"


    "No." Charlize took off his high heels, her legs curled up on the sofa, "I don''t take pictures of myself with me, I just signed them."


    "Do you need jet lag?" She suddenly leaned in and took a breath, her feet in stockings swaying in front of Ryan''s eyes.


    "It''s okay now." Ryan stretched and yawned again. "On the way here, I had a chat with George and Ivan. I was sleeping almost the rest of the time."


    After speaking, those sky-blue eyes suddenly became sharp, and he grabbed the slender calf swinging in front of him like lightning, and touched it upward along the tights.


    "I want to do some meaningful exercise more than sleeping." Ryan patted **** that very upright place, and made a crisp sound.


    "Really?" Charlize broke free of his control, and did not know when one foot was pressed in Ryan''s belly, "Wow, dear..."


    "You can''t escape, Charlie!"


    Ryan grabbed Charlize¡¯s two long legs and stood up After placing them on his shoulders, he directly pressed this beautiful diamond onto the couch, with both hands flexibly tilted away from her. The hips swept across, and then moved to the front, skillfully adjusted the belt on the jeans, and went down.


    "I want the fiercest, fiercest, hardest one..." Charlize kissed Ryan while taking off his clothes frantically.


    Afterwards, the two rolled onto the thick carpet together, and Ryan rolled over Charlize below and pressed her body from behind.


    Like all close lovers, the two tossed over and over, exhausted all kinds of tricks, and tried every means to make each other feel the greatest happiness.


    After everything returned to calm, the two were too lazy to get away, and they were about to have dinner to sit together affectionately, enjoying the rare sweet moment.


    "I only have a few shots."


    Snuggling on a single sofa, Ryan feeds Charlize a special snack while talking about the next itinerary, "These shots will be taken first, and it will be over in about two to three days, and then we can leave. Here it is." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 578： The king returns

    "Hello, friends, everyone, welcome to the "World Film Journey: Information Express" on the movie channel. At the beginning of the show, I will look at a set of the latest international film industry information. Later, I will introduce a magical epic masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings". "The Return of the King of 3"."


    When Fan Changyu, who was just 20 years old, returned home, he turned on the TV and switched to the movie channel for the first time. He is considered a senior movie fan. He especially likes this program that focuses on overseas, especially Hollywood movies, and the content inside. It can always provide some of the latest world movie information, and the introduced movies are also quite good, even if it is not seen in the theaters, there is also the Internet.


    The only pity is that there are only two episodes of the show a week, and many of the movies introduced above have not been screened in China.


    However, the pictures and introductions of the subsequent show made him stare.


    "A few days ago, the "Star Wars" crew arrived in Guilin, Guangxi. They will be shooting here. In addition to the Hollywood director George Lucas who created this series, the crew members of the crew came to China, as well as famous movie stars Ryan Jenkins and Yi. Wan McGregor, they will continue to play Anakin Skywalker and Master Obi-Wan, and they will probably stay in Guilin for about half a month..."


    Subsequently, many scenes that the crew was shooting based on the Guilin landscape appeared on TV. Among them, the figure dangling in front of the camera, who else would it be if it wasn''t Ryan?


    Ryan came to China?


    For Fan Changyu, who likes movies, especially foreign movies, the name Ryan Jenkins is too familiar. The movies starring in the other party have been appearing in domestic theaters over the years, which is definitely synonymous with quality movies.


    The last time I saw his movie was at the end of last year, he watched "Captain America" ??in a theater, although the movie is suspected of spreading the thoughts of American imperialism. But it is very exciting, such a sci-fi action blockbuster, the current domestic movies can only exist in the imagination, right?


    The other party is definitely one of the most famous Hollywood stars in China.


    Just when Fan Changyu was thinking about it. The program also briefly introduced this aspect.


    "As one of the leading actors of the film, Ryan Jenkins is the most well-known Hollywood star in China. This Hollywood movie star has brought us "Titanic", "Saving Private Ryan", "Remains of a Deserted Island", " "Gladiator" and a series of wonderful films, these films have achieved good reputation and box office double harvest in China, and after being crowned the Oscar actor, the "Lord of the Rings" series, which has set off a magical epic all over the world The movie boom."


    "More than that, he is also the original author and screenwriter of the "Jurassic Park" and "Harry Potter" series!" Fan Changyu whispered.


    The show continued, and he saw pictures of George Lucas and others being interviewed one after another. Finally, I finally saw Ryan in a Jedi costume.


    "The scenery here is very beautiful, one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen..."


    On TV, Ryan, who has high nose, deep eyes, brown hair and blue eyes, talks openly. Fan Changyu¡¯s ears have been pricked up. Although he has seen news that the other party can speak Chinese in some online forums, he did not expect to be so fluent. Although it is not as good as that big mountain, it is also closer to the standard of Mandarin than what the Shanghai native said...


    He liked the movie star very much, but now he hears this kind accent. The idea of ??supporting him and his film is even more determined, not to mention that the other party is not like other foreign stars who come here to do publicity. Opening my mouth is mysterious, closing my mouth is ancient, and seems to know China well.


    "If possible, I hope that my movies can be taken more from this beautiful and fast-developing land, and more Chinese elements will be integrated into the movie. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is my investment. I also want to establish more cooperative relations with Chinese filmmakers..."


    Maybe you should go to Guilin by yourself? I went to see the shooting of Hollywood movies with my own eyes. This is a super large production with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars. It is not comparable to those small domestic movies.


    Just when Fan Changyu was thinking about this. The interview on TV is over, and the "World Movie Journey: Information Express" moves on to the next section. Introduce the latest Hollywood or overseas movies.


    "What''s the matter, it''s only a few minutes?" Fan Changyu couldn''t help cursing. "Who cares about those small productions, I want to watch blockbuster films, and see related information about blockbuster films!"


    However, the content below the program directly caused him to close his mouth and watched it attentively again.


    "The program confirmed from Mr. Wang Jinxi, who was responsible for the translation and production of the Bayi Film Studio, who successfully translated the first two parts of the "Lord of the Rings" series, and learned that all dubbing work for "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" was successfully completed. Let this trilogy that has caused a sensation in the world have a perfect ending in China. They and China Film Group dispatched many dubbing elites in the film circle!"


    "The "Lord of the Rings" series has a pivotal position in the history of European and American fantasy literature. It is known as the "Journey to the West" in the Western world. The movie of the same name directed by New Zealand director Peter Jackson is even more sensational in the film industry and has received rave reviews. This investment Large-scale production films worth more than 100 million US dollars will be released simultaneously in China and the United States, and Chinese audiences will be able to witness the finale of "The Lord of the Rings" for the first time."


    What appeared on TV was the trailer of the movie. Although he had watched it before, Fan Changyu''s eyes widened, for fear of missing any picture.


    The majestic Minas Tirith, the majestic Rohan hussar charge, the eerie and dark land of Mordor...


    Even on TV, it is enough to end the eye-popping.


    "According to the information released by the China Film Group, the film producer Hollywood Jenkins Pictures will hold a huge Chinese premiere for this film in Shanghai. As one of the protagonists of the film, Ryan Jenkins and Orlando Bloom will confirm the meeting. Appearing at this premiere, movie fans will be able to witness the demeanor of the Emperor and the Elf Prince on the spot..."


    "Uh¡­¡­"


    Fan Changyu was stunned and stood up abruptly. The premiere will be held in Shanghai. Now that Ryan will come, what else will he go to Guilin for? Just wait at the door of the house.


    I''m going to the premiere by myself, I must go! Also watch the first movie, be sure to be one of the first people to see the movie!


    He then frowned and sat back on the chair. He knew that there were fans of Hollywood blockbusters all over Shanghai, and there were certainly not a few people who wanted to participate in the premiere, especially those young female fans who could almost go crazy for Ryan. , And gave him an alias of "Xiao Rui" on the Internet, and these people will definitely swarm by then.


    Can I buy a ticket by myself?


    After gritting his teeth, Fan Changyu ran upstairs and began to make a call. He has only one belief and must get a ticket for the premiere!


    After entering the second half of May, various news about "The Lord of the Rings" began to appear in the entertainment section of the Chinese media. China Film Group has an unparalleled position in the Chinese film industry. In order to fully anticipate the benefits, they launched A wave of propaganda is higher than the wave.


    "The translation of "The Lord of the Rings 3" is complete, the king will return, and the emperor and the elven prince will arrive in Shanghai..."


    "The ultimate trailer is out, and the epic duel of light and darkness is so addictive!"


    ""The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is more mature than the previous two in terms of shooting scenes and processing methods. The producer accepted an interview and said that the dark age is bound to end!"


    "The war scene in the film is the biggest war scene in movie history that can be seen. "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" will become the most enjoyable movie in history!"


    Not only in China and the United States, distributors from all over the world have made careful publicity plans for the film. With the warm-up of the first two episodes and a few small-scale trial screenings, these profit-seeking businesses are aware of this. It''s a super selling movie, and it''s natural to spare no effort to promote it.


    From New York to Los Angeles, from London to Paris, from Sydney to Wellington, from Tokyo to Seoul, from Beijing to Shanghai, from New Delhi to Jerusalem, from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires, it can be seen all over the world Promotional advertisement for "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King".


    These advertisements spread across newspapers, magazines, television, radio, the Internet, bus stops, poster columns, and the most conspicuous publicity columns of theaters.


    Through the unremitting efforts of Walt Disney, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" has been released globally to a certain extent, and will appear on the big screens in China, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand on the same day. Above, and the release time of other regions, it will not be too long.


    Although unable to participate in the promotion in China, the Disney Far East Branch still provided China Film Group with a lot of publicity suggestions The other party also adopted a few, the most typical one is in the main ticket Cangcheng City held the "Lord of the Rings" Super Endurance Challenge.


    The rule of the competition is generally to watch the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy continuously without eating, drinking, or going to the toilet, and the contestants who can persevere and are approved by the supervisors will be provided by Disney including Disney A seven-day trip to Los Angeles including the park, Disney headquarters building, Jenkins Pictures and Pixar Studios.


    This event has attracted widespread attention from movie fans. Even people who don''t watch Hollywood movies much have joined the ranks of applicants. The number of participants far exceeded the previous estimate.


    The hot registration, in turn, drove the attention of the media. Before the movie was released, at least among the movie fans, it set off a wave of "Lord of the Rings".


    Of course, after all, the trilogy of this series is from Hollywood and from the United States. It will certainly arouse the resentment of some people here, and may not prevent the release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", and it can always create some fake news to add to the blockage.


    After finishing all the scenes of "The Revenge of the Sith", Ryan took Charlize to the hotel in Shanghai and saw the news. (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 579： Zhang Qius candidates

    "The latest news received by this newspaper, the fantasy blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", is likely to miss the Chinese audience. Recently, the reporter learned from the relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Lianhe Cinema Line because it involves the''God and Ghost'' ,''Superstition'' and other factors, the "Lord of the Rings 3" introduced by China Film Corporation is very likely to face premature death."


    "superstition?"


    Charlize put down the empty cup and looked at Ryan who helped her translate the newspaper across the table, puzzled, "What does this word mean?"


    "This..." Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head. How could he explain to the person who talked about God and the merciful Lord all day? After thinking for a while, he simply said, "It refers specifically to a state of obsessive and trustworthy people with things, but also bewildered and convincing, and blindly believing, which probably means this."


    Looking up, Charlize on the opposite side was still puzzled. Ryan simply gave up his intention to explain and continued to translate the news in the newspaper just now.


    "The Lord of the Rings is adapted from the fantasy novel of the same name. The magical, imaginative story and the many characters on the stage have attracted countless readers and audiences in Europe and the United States. However, professionals believe that there are indeed "gods and ghosts" in the film. , And promote inappropriate''superstition'' ideas. This type of film is obviously not suitable for our national conditions and will leave a bad influence on the masses..."


    With the translation here, Ryan himself can''t stand it anymore. This is obviously a deliberate distorted report by some people, and the simplest and most basic entertainment events are unrestricted on the line. Isn''t it the expertise of those people?


    "Why stopped?"


    Putting down the knife and fork, Charlize stood up and walked to the window and opened the curtains here. The sunlight poured in like golden rain. Ryan threw away the newspaper in his hand, walked behind the South African diamond, and hugged it. Slim waist, sniffed **** her blonde hair. "These are like domestic tabloids that specialize in gossip. There is nothing to pay attention to."


    Looking back, Charlize kissed his lips, "What are we going to do? Can''t stay in the hotel all day?"


    "Let''s go to the cafe on the second floor first. Chen and I have made an appointment to meet with people from Huayi."


    Gently bit on the white ear, Ryan went back to the room and changed into a casual outfit. When he came out, he saw Charlize had prepared a hat and sunglasses, walked over to help her put it on her head, and pulled her out. The room.


    Several casually dressed bodyguards. Hanging behind them not too far away.


    Although this is one of the best public security countries in the world, Ryan will not be too careless. The threat of Al Qaeda seems to be a joke, but in the event of a crowd watching, it is also a troublesome matter that requires bodyguards.


    They stayed at the Peace Hotel on the Bund. When they went down by the sightseeing elevator, they could roughly see the scenery of the former Shiliyangchang.


    "Is it about Harry Potter?"


    When he came out of the elevator and walked into the cafe on the second floor, Charlize held his arm. Carefully asked, "Is Zhang Qiu''s candidate determined?"


    "Yeah." Ryan nodded, rolling his eyes around the coffee shop, and quickly found Chen Jiazheng. Pulled Charlize and walked over, "Hi, Chen."


    "Ryan, so early."


    Chen Jiazheng stood up and shook hands with the two of them. After Ryan sat across from him, he called for two more cups of coffee and said. "Mr. Wang went to pick up Miss Zhao''s family. It is estimated that it will take half an hour to arrive."


    "It''s okay." Ryan waved his hand. "I was bored in the room with Charlie, so I just came out to talk to you."


    "Have you received your share?" he asked with a smile.


    "Received." Chen Jiazheng seemed to be very emotional, "Six figures, still in U.S. dollars, more than my salary for twenty years here."


    "Oh, Chen." Charlize put down the coffee cup and interjected in due course, "When you shoot the movie, this little money will not be considered."


    "I want to direct a film." Chen Jiazheng opened his hands, and didn''t seem to care much. "I don''t know how long to wait."


    "You can try to take the route of international financing." Ryan recalled some things he had heard in his previous life. "I heard that there are many international film foundations that will provide financing services for young Chinese directors."


    "Ryan, such a movie..." Chen Jiazheng shook his head and said helplessly, "It is difficult to pass the censorship, and it will basically not appear in domestic theaters."


    Hearing him say this, Ryan took the initiative to change the subject. These things are not something he can participate in or interfere with. "Darren and the others are preparing a sequel to "Chain Saw".


    "I heard." Chen Jiazheng nodded. "Among our graduates, it seems that only three of them have gained fame? Of course, you can''t be included."


    Charlize laughed first, Ryan turned his head and glanced at her, and laughed likewise.


    About twenty minutes later, Wang Zhongjun and someone who seemed to be his assistant, led a middle-aged couple and a girl about fifteen years old, and walked in.


    After shaking hands from the other side, Wang Zhongjun introduced the two sides, "This is Mr. Ryan Jenkins, I must know you, the big Hollywood star and the original author of the Harry Potter series. , This is Miss Charlize Theron, the Oscar queen."


    He spoke English to the middle-aged couple. It seems that this family has no problem in listening and speaking English.


    Then, Wang Zhongjun introduced the family to Ryan.


    The little girl''s surname is Zhao. Like her parents, she can speak fluent Mandarin and English. She seems to have received some training in Huayi related aspects. The etiquette and temperament are quite good, and she has a faint celebrity style.


    Even if you want to come, Huayi and a TV station here held such a huge Harry Potter draft, even if it is just an ordinary girl, it has long been hyped as a famous star.


    The two sides sat in the deck, the girl''s eyes concealed around Ryan and Charlize, probably curious about what Hollywood stars look like.


    "I have read some information about Miss Zhao."


    Long before the candidate was determined, Huayi sent the candidate''s information to Ryan''s hands. "In all aspects, it fits the image of Zhang Qiu in my mind."


    If Ryan approved, Huayi''s people were completely relieved.


    "Mr. Wang." Ryan looked at the actress''s signatory, and after thinking about it, he looked at the girl''s parents again, "Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, the second half of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" Formal preparations will be made. I hope you can take Ms. Zhao to London as soon as possible. We also need to provide relevant training for her."


    "There is no problem with these." Wang Zhongjun nodded first, "We will let someone make a special trip to send Miss Zhao there."


    The two parties have reached an agreement in private. The media working with Huayi will have dedicated reporters following the little actor who plays Zhang Qiu, and continue to send relevant reports from the UK to China. This continuous hype can not only Create a star for Huayi, and also carry out a new round of publicity for the "Harry Potter" series.


    Ryan briefly asked the girl a few words, and the other party¡¯s answer was quite satisfactory, but what he was most satisfied with was that his appearance could roughly find the cross point between the aesthetics of the East and the West, and he was extremely fluent in English, and there was no problem in communicating, although with some If the accent can''t be changed, just change the voice in post-production.


    What the "Harry Potter" series wants is only her identity as a Chinese actor, as well as the subsequent hype and propaganda. The others are secondary.


    "If you can¡­¡­"


    When the other party left, Ryan handed over the notebook he and Charlize had signed, "I hope you can attend the premiere of "The Return of the King"."


    The girl surnamed Zhao looked at her parents and then at Wang Zhongjun before replied, "It''s a great honor."


    The final main actor of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is finalized. Ryan has spared no effort to further open the Chinese market, and he is also convinced that it is worth it.


    Although the surrounding areas of the "Harry Potter" series with the most profitable creations will be greatly impacted by piracy in China, the population base of this market is huge, and some peripheral products cannot be completely achieved without piracy, realizing huge profits. It certainly won''t be a problem.


    What''s more, if you really like it, there are not a few Chinese who insist on buying genuine products.


    Rejecting Huayi¡¯s banquet, Ryan took Charlize out for a stroll on the Bund, and finally came to the Oriental Pearl Tower in Lujiazui, where he also had lunch in the revolving restaurant.


    In the afternoon, he brought together the heads of Disney Far East and held a brief meeting with representatives from Shanghai. The main topic of the two parties was the Disneyland project.


    Disney has been discussing this project with Shanghai for a long time At present, many consensuses have been reached, but there is still a long way to go before it starts.


    All negotiations will naturally be handled by professionals. Ryan, the actual owner of Disney, is just like a mascot. It is normal to release enough goodwill and express Disney¡¯s intention to cooperate. In business dealings, he will not become an old friend of the Chinese people, and there is nothing to worry about.


    What Ryan has done is very simple. Promote the approval of this project as soon as possible, and it is best to enter the actual operation stage in the next few years.


    Of course, his focus is still on the movie. "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" is being promoted more and more frequently and widely in this city. You can see this movie on several famous signs on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and the Bund. Silhouettes of posters.


    On the first Friday of June, Shanghai Film City was full of people, like the long red carpet of the Oscars ceremony, spreading from the entrance of the film city to hundreds of meters away, tens of thousands of fans gathered on both sides. , Chinese entertainment reporters who have already shown paparazzi temperament, like their overseas counterparts, are vying for the most advantageous position.


    "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is about to kick off. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 580： Very enthusiastic

    "Xiao Rui! Xiao Rui! Xiao Rui..."


    There were uniform shouts from both sides of the red carpet, as if they had been rehearsed in advance.


    When Charlize Theron¡¯s hand was put into his arm, Ryan heard that this was replacing someone¡¯s name, and had an urge to cover his face. How could he not have anything to do with this "small" character. what.


    Countless reporters gathered around the RV. The flash of the camera in their hands almost dazzled people''s eyes. Ryan and Charlize have gone through the red carpet test of all sizes and showed their best side. , Waving to both sides of the red carpet, walking towards the studio.


    When they moved, the reporters scattered to both sides like a tide, and then some people were squeezing around in order to compete for positions, and some people slipped into the front row like a loach.


    Ryan could still vaguely hear that someone was yelling in an accented general obedient, "This is the Oscar actor and actress. This is the first time Ryan Jenkins has walked on the red carpet in China, even if it is squeezing his head , I also want to squeeze to the front to take pictures...''


    If you change this high-nosed and deep-going look, Ryan may not feel like returning to his hometown, but it is a pity that he is destined to no longer belong to this land in this life. "A way of expressing liking for people."


    As he said, Ryan waved his hands to both sides again, causing a loud shout of "Xiao Rui" higher than the other.


    "Hey, Charlie, there are a lot of your supporters over there."


    Following Ryan''s gaze, he could see a large group of people holding the Arwen poster. Charlize took the initiative to release his hand and walked over there.


    Ryan also walked to the red carpet, with countless hands stretched out in an instant, and several bodyguards immediately stopped him behind.


    "It''s ok."


    Waved to them. Ryan took the pen in the hand of a female fan and asked, "Can you tell me your name?"


    Although Chinese is a bit of a craze, it is easier to understand than those in dialects.


    The girl was stunned, apparently she didn''t expect that idols from across the ocean could proficiently use the language of her own country. After she woke up, she quickly said. "My name is Li Yang..."


    Nodded, Ryan wrote a wish on the poster in Chinese characters, "May your wishes come true. Li Yang!"


    Although the handwriting was ugly and horrible, after he finished writing, the fan was almost stunned by ecstasy. He reached out to grab Ryan''s arm, but was drowned in the waves of people by more people. Hurried a few steps. After catching up with Charlize, who was slowing down in front, Ryan glanced at her. Asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"


    "Very enthusiastic, not the same as I thought." Charlize took his arm. As he walked, he said, "Unfortunately I don''t understand what they are talking about."


    As the characters in the premiere finale, the two attracted the attention of countless people. Most people just regarded them as Hollywood stars who came to make money, but those who know know that Ryan is now the top film giant in Hollywood. one.


    Below the huge poster in front of the cinema, China Film Group and some invited guests are waiting here to prepare a group photo later. The focus of their discussion is naturally the two people on the red carpet.


    "Do you know? A few days ago, Ryan Jenkins appeared in the negotiation between the city government and Disney. He seemed to have a say in Disney."


    Someone whispered, while the person next to him snorted, and explained to the people around him in an insider tone, "Are you really ignorant or not? Ryan Jenkins is the chairman of the board of directors of Walt Disney." He is the largest shareholder of the Disney Group!"...


    "Disney?"


    "Yes!" the man continued, "that''s a big group with a market value of more than 65 billion US dollars!"


    "So, he is rich?" Someone muttered, "The largest shareholder, his net worth is at least tens of billions of dollars, right?"


    "Very very rich!"


    The other person lowered his voice, but the people around him could hear what he said, "Forbes'' latest rich list, he ranked in the top five this year! Top five! This is the world''s richest list!"


    "Being a star can earn so much money?" Some people were puzzled.


    "Definitely not." It''s the same person just now. He seems to know Ryan very well. "He uses all the money he earned from filming to invest in Pixar Studios, Blizzard Entertainment, Yahoo... just what we saw. That American company on Yahoo.com, and Blue Sky Studio, etc., are all making a lot of money."


    "Don''t talk about this..." This is the first person to explain, "Just talk about the film industry, "Titanic", "Jurassic Park", "Harry Potter" series, and now the premiere " The "Lord of the Rings" series, these are all films he invested in. Go back and check the global box office for these."


    ""Titanic" exceeded US$2 billion! "Jurassic Park" exceeded US$1 billion! The sum of the two releases of the "Harry Potter" series exceeded US$1.5 billion! Before the release of "The Lord of the Rings" Both movies are close to a billion dollars!" This is the second explanation person added, "This is not yet counted as movies such as "Gladiator" and "The Matrix."


    As soon as his voice fell, the eyes of some people around him widened. These box office numbers are indeed terrifying.


    "Tell you." The first person continued his topic. "Hollywood movies never expect to make money at the box office. I heard from President Han that the box office only accounts for about 20% of Hollywood movie revenue. Think about it. , How much revenue these movies actually bring."


    These people unconsciously looked at the interview area on the red carpet again, and when they looked at Ryan, who was facing the reporter''s microphone, their eyes were completely different.


    In the interview area, Ryan is being interviewed by reporters from the organizers. When the reporter asked about his views on Chinese films, he did not hesitate to praise him.


    "The development of Chinese films is very fast. In recent years, many excellent films have appeared. Films like "Hero" have not only achieved success in China, but also gained a huge box office in North America. It seems that they are currently over 40 million U.S. dollars. I believe that there will be more and more such films in the future, and Chinese films will also be recognized by the whole world."


    "What? Ah, of course, I look forward to cooperating with China very much." Ryan did not hesitate to pull another movie out, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon came from my investment. It was a very pleasant time. Cooperating with successful East and West, I believe that Hollywood''s cooperation with China will become closer in the future."


    Taking advantage of the fact that the other party didn''t ask any sensitive questions, Ryan waved his hand, joined Charlize who was waiting for the interview, and walked to the poster.


    One hand enthusiastically handed it over. Ryan came here to seek cooperation and commercial development, and naturally greeted them politely.


    Among these people, not only were film practitioners from China and executives of film companies such as China Film Group, but also the US consulate in Shanghai. What surprised Ryan the most was that among the people introduced by the other party, there was also a New Zealand station in Shanghai. Ambassador Hua.


    However, he reacted immediately.


    New Zealand can be said to be the country that has benefited the most from "Lord of the Rings". With the first two episodes selling well around the world, the name of Queenstown has spread all over the world and has become the first choice for many people on vacation. New Zealand economy.


    It is not surprising that the other party appears here.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    When walking into the studio, another heavyweight guest, Orlando Bloom, who came to the premiere, came over and said, "It''s been a long time."


    "Hello, Orlando."


    Patting his shoulder, Ryan looked at him as he walked, "Do you think it''s a lot darker, is the Caribbean sun shining brightly?"


    "After leaving Rosario." Orlando Bloom said with a gesture, "I only found out that I was in hell. I had to shoot on the boat for eight hours a day, and sometimes I had to go into the water..."


    He pointed to his face, "I just got a little tan. One time, Kayla fell into the sea from a small boat and almost drowned."


    "I also heard." Ryan shook hands with another person who came by, nodded in greeting, and then said, "I have reminded the crew to pay attention to safety."


    "This is a rare experience." Orlando Bloom laughed. "I think I''m about to become a master of swordsmanship."


    Because of the simultaneous shooting of the trilogy, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is destined to be completed and released later than the previous life. Although the shooting has entered the final stage, the huge post-production is also time-consuming.


    According to the arrangement of the China Film Group, the three of Ryan and the other producer who came over went to the lounge and waited for a while. After everyone entered, under the leadership of the staff, they walked into the red as the keynote In the screening hall.


    There are some European film festival traditions in the hallAll the guests and audience attending the premiere, all stood up and applauded to welcome the crew to enter, while Ryan held Charlize and waved to the surroundings frequently. The image of a kind, kind and friendly Hollywood star is fully displayed.


    After they walked to the front row and took their seats, the theater was quiet again.


    However, Ryan wanted to be quiet and could only wait for the movie to begin. Since he sat down, people around had kept coming up to shake hands and greet him. Some of them were familiar faces often seen in TV shows in previous lives, regardless of their purpose. , He nodded politely.


    Finally, the lights in the auditorium went out, the picture on the big screen came on, and the theater became completely silent.


    "Are you tired?" Ryan leaned close to Charlize''s ear and asked in a low voice.


    "Fortunately, the premiere in Hollywood is not easier than here." Charlize received no less attention than Ryan.


    Holding the hand of the South African diamond, Ryan stopped saying anything, and turned his energy to the big screen...()

 Chapter 581： The most exciting clip in history

    "Minastiris."


    Gandalf, with a white robe and white horse, stood on the vast plain, looking at the white city built on the mountain in front of him, "The City of Kings!"


    The majestic soundtrack sounded at the same time. Sitting in the back row, Dai Changyu could faintly hear the exclamation from the surroundings. You must know that most of the people who can come to watch the premiere are senior movie fans. They all understand that quiet watching is the best way. The simple truth, but now they are exclaimed, which is enough to prove how shocking the city in the movie has brought them.


    Majestic, magnificent...


    Dai Changyu didn''t know how to describe it.


    "New Zealand won''t really have such a castle?" The girl next door finally couldn''t help but uttered a voice, and her boyfriend pulled him, "Quiet!"


    Although I don''t know much about filming, Dai Changyu can roughly guess that this must be the use of some special effects technology of Internet legends.


    Why Hollywood movies, why Ryan''s movies can always shock the audience easily, but our movies can''t do it? This is the idea he suddenly gave birth to. Compared with this movie, what is the "Hero" that was so popular last year?


    As Gandalf went all the way, the soundtrack that represented Gondor sounded. The close-up, long-distance, and panoramic shots of the movie all showed the audience that this is a real city, as if there really is a holy white city in this world! The audience was calm again. The film shocked them too much. The lifelike half-orcs, the gloomy and dark Minas Caves, etc., can only be described as perfection, even if you don¡¯t explore the back of the film. The meaning of the battle between good and evil is worth the fare.


    On the screen, the short hobbit flexibly climbed towards the beacon, Dai Changyu''s hand was clenched into a fist. He knew that this was to ignite the fire of human hope, but he felt that the speed of the hobbit was too slow, and he wanted to rush in, throw the lighter in his trouser pocket into the pyre, and ignite the raging fire.


    "Hurry up!" he shouted in his heart, "Hurry up!"


    Although knowing that the beacon will definitely be ignited, the atmosphere created by the film is unstoppable.


    The beacon tower on the top of Yunhai Mountain lit up one after another. In the exciting soundtrack, the beacon was like a dragon waking up from a deep sleep. Winding towards Luohan!


    Amundin¡¯s beacon was ignited, and the hope of mankind was ignited!


    At this moment, Dai Changyu only felt that all the tension had turned into excitement. Even the eye sockets felt moist, and the girl next to her was quietly wiping her eyes when the peripheral light of her eyes glanced to the side. This is too sensational, but there is no deliberateness! He muttered in his heart.


    Will Luohan send troops? King Haydon once rejected Gandalf''s suggestion of rescue after the beacon was ignited. Can human beings unite and fight to the death against the invasion of darkness and evil?


    Aragorn pushed open the door of the main hall. Rushed in and shouted. "The beacon of Minastiris is lit!"


    Everyone''s eyes focused on King Hieudon, and the movie also gave him a panoramic close-up. The son of Yilinger finally made a decision. "Rohan will send troops to help! Call all Rohan knights!"


    A very simple sentence, but pushed this scene into a small gangster, Dai Changyu let out a long sigh of relief. He clapped his palms unconsciously, and just when he realized that this would disturb the atmosphere of the movie, applause rang from all directions and finally gathered into waves.


    The fragmented mankind is finally about to unite together!


    The applause subsided. In the area where the China Film Group was concentrated, Zuo Shan Diao looked at the people around him and whispered, "When will our movie be able to do this?"


    The people around were silent. These people in the industry are very clear that the gap between Chinese films and Hollywood is all-round. Even with the strong support of the state, they are culturally weak and will be in the next ten or even decades. , It is impossible to sweep the world like a Hollywood movie.


    Holding Charlize¡¯s hand, Ryan is not only watching the movie, but also paying attention to the surrounding movement. In this day and age, whether it is the scene, the special effects, or the courage to promote, Ryan has a powerful attraction. Especially for the audience, the subsequent Battle of Minas Tirith is a classic among the classics.


    Let alone now, let alone Chinese movies. In the past ten years, how many movies can surpass the Battle of Perrin Plain?


    This war is not just a scene to attract people, it contains too many things. In the later editing, Peter Jackson even cut out a large number of war scenes in order to highlight the outbreak of the most critical moment of mankind.


    The most exciting will definitely be preserved. After all, this is a commercial movie. If it can''t attract the audience, it will still be a failure.


    In the face of the three-dimensional blows of the orcs from the air and the ground, Gondor gradually lost, and mankind fell into the most dangerous moment, and Minastiris was about to fall completely.


    Dai Changyu sat on the seat, pinching his thigh with one hand, and holding the armrest tightly with the other. The nervousness seemed to be able to hear the sound of breathing.


    Where''s the reinforcements? Where''s Luohan''s reinforcements?


    This is not only his thoughts, but also the thoughts of countless audiences. The most dangerous moment has arrived. Why haven''t the reinforcements come yet?


    They are anxious, they are waiting, they are worried about the same kind in the movie!


    The long dark night passed, and the light of the sun was looming on the Perrin Plain to the east, but Minastiris was shrouded in the boundless darkness and burned, and the half-orcs were slaughtering humans!


    When everything seemed to be in despair, the horn that once reverberated in the Valley of the Helm sounded again!


    Accompanied by the light appeared Luohan Hussars of the brigade, they appeared on the edge of the battlefield, they were all ready to go! They are about to avenge their dead compatriots! Their iron hoof will crush the body of the orc! Their short spear and sword will chop off that dirty and ugly head!


    "Go ahead, don''t be afraid of the darkness!"


    King Xiurton drove his horses in front of the formation to make the final mobilization for Rohan Hussein, "Go ahead, the knight of King Xiurton! Cut off the spear, break the shield, today¡¯s battle, blood stained with yellow sand, let We greet the end of the world with killings in the rising sun!"


    "Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death..."


    That passionate slogan. With the power to move people''s hearts, many people trembled with excitement. If they weren''t in the theater, they would definitely chant along with them.


    The sun illuminates the phalanx of Luohan Hussein, and King Hiurdon swung his sword forward under the sun, "fas!"


    Amid the sound of the horn, the huge cavalry phalanx moved forward slowly, and the iconic Scottish bagpipe sounded again. Six thousand hussars marched forward, facing the **** dawn with courage and killing!


    "This is the most exciting clip in history!"


    Subconsciously wiped tears of excitement. Dai Changyu murmured, "This is the most exciting segment of all the movies I have ever watched! It completely surpasses the pre-declaration made by William Wallace in "Brave Heart" and the president''s last decisive battle in "** Day". mobilization¡­"


    "Yes. That''s it!" Someone next to him heard his whisper and immediately made an echoing voice.


    This is indeed a passionate scene, and countless viewers are full of tears and can''t calm down for a long time.


    "Theyurdon is a good king. He takes the lead and moves forward courageously. Fearless!" This shot completely changed the impression of the king.


    From the moment the horn was blown. Dai Changyu felt a flame in his body slowly starting to burn, when Luohan Huqi rushed into the enemy formation. His blood almost boiled.


    Although human beings are greedy, cruel, ignorant and arrogant, they will never perish. Because they can be so brave and extremely strong!


    Perhaps these thoughts will be one of the deepest impressions this movie has left him.


    Not to mention ordinary audiences, those guests and industry insiders sitting in the front row. At this moment, it can only be described as shock. This kind of movie scene is simply unimaginable by the practitioners here. After watching "Hero" last year, they thought that Director Zhang had already achieved the ultimate in the big scene, but it was not staged now. Compared to this scene, what''s the point?


    "Hollywood movie! Produced by Jenkins Pictures! Made by Ryan Jenkins!"


    Next to the mountain eagle, a senior person can''t help but frown, seemingly worried, "What should we use to fight their movies in the future? In a few years, the domestic box office champions will probably become the world of Hollywood movies!" "


    "The market is getting more and more open, Old Han, will our film industry be overwhelmed?" He looked aside.


    "Without breaking or standing, without enough competition, our film industry will never develop, and will always stay in the subject of moaning without disease."


    The movie continued, and the mood of the audience was completely mobilized. The moment that Ryan''s supporters most wanted to see also appeared, and the moment that belonged to King Eliza finally arrived.


    "Hold your position! Hold your position!"


    In front of the majestic Black Gate, Aragorn fought his horse and waved his sword, shouting anxiously at his phalanx, encouraging the morale most needed at this time, and he galloped back and forth in front of the battle.


    King Eliza finally returned.


    "Warriors of Gondor and Rohan! My brothers!" he shouted, "I see the same fear in your eyes!"


    "Maybe one day, UU reading mankind will lose courage, and our congregation will betray their relatives and be completely defeated, but it is definitely not today!"


    "Maybe one day, evil will defeat justice, and the human world will be destroyed, but it is definitely not today!"


    "Today we are going to fight to the death! In order to protect everything you cherish in this world, fight to the end, humans from the West!"


    Yes, mankind will never be perished by darkness and evil. Perhaps the future is unknown, but today we have to fight once. Let us fight side by side until the end!


    Fan Changyu bit his lips tightly. In his mind, this movie cannot be described as a classic at all. There is only one word that fits best-great!


    The king is bound to return, and the movie will eventually come to an end.


    When the film ended, he couldn''t wait to stand up, and like everyone else, he sent the warmest applause. He filmed, even shouted, venting all his passion, and never thought of leaving the scene. I don''t care if my palm is red.


    This warm applause lasted for ten minutes! ()

 Chapter 582： The best gift for fans

    For the rest, Xiang Tian was inexplicably transformed by the magic circle of the Druid Temple. It is still fully competent, from these seemingly "harmless" cave dwarf leaders.


    And Lord Xiang Tian, ??the lord who had sent troops out of his country, was of course also happy to talk to the leader of this cave dwarf. Seriously discuss the issues he and Master Date and Elder Yiliqi jointly identified.


    But when he heard two cave dwarf scouts, there was no nutritious conversation. Still with great interest, he led a large group of people and swaggered into the lobby of the goblin shop.


    Still very patient, continue to choose! After all, who brought three thousand tigers and beavers, Xiang Tianyue, the lord of the first line of heaven, did not rush the order to lift the siege.


    But a nobleman with a natural overlord aura and a kingly demeanor. Xiang Tian in this life also exaggerated a few words, this very clever goblin shop boy.


    This attentive young man waited with a smile on his face, Xiang Tian, ??the overlord of Western Chu who gradually adapted to the status of the Elf Druid on the Western Continent!


    After all, Xiang Tian, ??who is already the lord of the front line at this time, is still not very relieved of these cave dwarves who have not shown any hostility for the time being!


    Just like the races and countries on the western continent, all are more focused on external things. This guy from the larger goblin shop can indeed count as "talking to people and talking to the hell"!


    Will also uninvited "condescend to noble", take the initiative to find the lord of the Elf Kingdom who guards his troops (for the Elf Kingdom on the western continent, the official title of the lord is equivalent to the official title of the frontier, "the important minister of the country") Xiang Tian !


    Researching with great interest, in the goblin shop. Pieces of handles cast by the cave dwarves exhausted all their efforts, even if they are as strong as Xiang Tian, ??they have to secretly give their thumbs up!


    After all, as a family of famous goblins on the western continent. There is no such thing as an eye-opener who doesn''t know how to distinguish the value of customers!


    Xiang Tian''s original intention was originally only in the name of training soldiers. To these suspicious cave dwarves, come to a standard "knock the mountain and shake the tiger." Or "throw stones for directions"!


    As long as he carries such a large number of people, he can be in this larger goblin shop. Even if it was just a siege, three days and five days.


    "When the two armies meet, the strong wins! When the two strong meet, the brave wins! Two brave encounters, the wise wins! When two wise meet, the living (the machine becomes flexible, not the last trace) wins!"


    In Xiang Tian''s mind, he always remembered the battles in his previous life. Liu Bang, who is like a rogue, always talks about it. And I always hope that the generals under him will all be talking about this sentence.


    Some really important news will be available soon! Even if we take a step back, the cave dwarves are really related to Xiang Tian and the two druid elders...


    The boss of the goblin shop who hadn''t come out all the time made it clear to the young guy who was describing the current situation. I have never seen such a serious and solemn Hu Ben fighters before, I believe it will not take much time.


    Lined up on both sides, the Tiger and Cardiac Army soldiers who are still training with knives and guns. Take a uniform step, before Lord Xiang Tian arrives. A fairly clean road was quickly opened up.


    Already through the sharp vision and hearing that far surpasses other elf druids (the elf druids themselves, as the sons of nature, have not weaker than the most sensitive dwarfs on the western continent, incomparably powerful and incomparably perceptual)


    Even on the edge of this undead country, a young man in the largest goblin shop. It was also very familiar that Ruo''s personally unfolded a straight scarlet long pile carpet.


    Xiang Tian in this life can never be as stupid as he used to be, only knowing that he will be able to seize the flag and conquer the city and land! Xiang Tian, ??who secretly reminded a few words in his heart, was excited by the introduction of the clerk.


    The demon-eye martial artist Xiang Tian, ??who is full of the majesty of the lord, is in the dragon lich beauty Yu Ji and the dragon warrior beauty Shirley. In front of the two tough beauty thugs, they walked towards the gate of the goblin shop with great fanfare.


    He bowed to lead Xiang Tian and the two beautiful thugs, and patted Xiang Tian''s flattery with the lord who has the style of the leader.


    A group of three with dozens of Tiger and Cardiac soldiers, arrogantly entered from the gate of the goblin shop! Several scattered buyers also moved to the side automatically, very cooperatively.


    As for the owner of the goblin shop who refused to come out to see him for the time being, Xiang Tian and the two violent beauties who were extremely bored and looking forward to a fight.


    Not only the owner of the goblin shop, he will come out in person before and after the meeting and treat him with hospitality. Even the heads of the cave dwarves who seem to be reluctant to have too much contact with other races and countries.


    Although the courage of the overlord of Western Chu, he fought since his birth. After more than seventy battles, never failed! But what about the final battle in Gaiyi and the defeat of Wujiang?


    It''s just the customs of the various ethnic groups on the Western Continent, and the Eastern Continent where Xiang Tian, ??the Western Chu Overlord lived in his previous life. There is a very big difference! Xiang Tian didn''t realize just the tip.


    Xiang Tian can already be very clear, from the conversation between two cave dwarf scouts. I understand what the cave dwarves think! Although, this idea only came from two very ordinary cave dwarf scouts.


    The owner of the goblin shop whose business has been severely affected by Xiang Tian will also be unable to bear the lonely secret notification. Those cave dwarves, who are relatively powerful and deterrent in their hearts, come to lift this blockade.


    And the two scouts who have just completed the reconnaissance and are returning to the cave dwarf underground city. But he didn''t expect that Xiang Tian, ??the first-line heaven lord who came to the goblin shop deliberately.


    For these, at a glance, you can feel the murderous generals and warriors of the Elf race. Quickly let out a road leading directly to the hall of the second floor goblin shop.


    Two cave dwarf scouts covered the palm-sized hole just dug out. Carefully follow the previously dug underground tunnel, towards the center of the underground city of cave dwarves.


    Even in the East, this strategic intention. It can also be logically interpreted as "being courtesy and then soldiers"! As long as the beginning is not salty or indifferent, connect with the most suspected cave dwarves.


    Xiang Tian and the two beautiful thugs, who were constantly on foot, showed their majesty one by one. Pacing square steps, slowly under the leadership of this young man.

 Chapter 583： Interview

    The film was shown simultaneously in many countries and regions around the world, and it was unanimously welcomed. The number of audiences and the attendance of the theaters were considerable.


    In North America alone, on the first day of the film, among 3709 theaters, it won a box office of 41.28 million U.S. dollars, and the cumulative box office on the first day of the world reached 79.8 million U.S. dollars!


    With the first two as a foreshadowing, the quality of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The King Comes" itself is absolutely excellent, which has caused a strong response among the audience in the screening area, especially the good reputation of word of mouth, which has further boosted the box office. digital.


    In the following two days, the number of viewers and attendance rates in various places remained stable.


    Although the rhythm of the film has been criticized by some people, there were not many real rivals in the global film market in June.


    Today, North America is still the world''s No. 1 ticket warehouse market, and the first week of the box office of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" also proved this.


    After the first week, the film won a box office of US$102.19 million in North America and successfully topped the North American box office rankings.


    The box office in other regions has also been released in the first week. Australia is 15.22 million US dollars, France is 19.62 million US dollars, Germany is 31.84 million US dollars, Japan is 16.79 million US dollars, Italy is 8.5 million US dollars, and Britain is 29.25 million US dollars... The whole world has triggered a movie-watching boom, and China is no exception. It easily won 38.5 million yuan in the box office in the first week, which is completely out of the ordinary for all movies of the same schedule.


    As for what some people say will not have an impact on Chinese movies, I don''t know how he would feel when he saw the box office of other movies of the same period that only cost hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands.


    The film continued to wreak havoc on the film market in the theater area for the second week. The box office in North America reached US$87.5 million in the following week, and it continued to hold the top spot in the North American box office chart, and China was equally hot here. Although the box office of 26.4 million yuan is only a fraction of the North American box office, it is relative to the number of screens in this era. It''s already a very good result.


    Ryan was also preparing to end his trip to China, but before leaving, he accepted the invitation of "An Interview with Yang Lan."


    "He is a famous Hollywood movie star. The movies he created and starred in have created a box office miracle in the history of world cinema. He can act as a super genius as well as a tough guy on the screen..."


    Standing in the background, Ryan could clearly hear Yang Lan''s introduction. When he agreed to the interview, the two sides had negotiated and would not involve sensitive political, regional, and ideological issues. "Back then, in order to get rid of the difficulties in life, he took up a pen and wrote down his own fantasy. Today''s fantasy has become the "Harry Potter" series that is popular all over the world."


    "Hello, friends, everyone, welcome to this interview with Yang Lan, here are the guests of this issue... Oscar actor Ryan Jenkins!"


    There was warm applause from the front desk. Ryan sorted out his casual clothes, walked out, smiled and waved to the bottom. Across the round glass table, he sat opposite Yang Lan.


    "Ryan, hello, is there no problem communicating in Chinese?"


    "No problem." Ryan nodded. "Please don''t use local slang."


    The audience below clapped and laughed. There are too many news about him in the newspaper these days, and being able to speak reasonably fluent Chinese has naturally become the focus of the report.


    "Can you tell us where you learned Chinese?" Yang Lan said with a smile, "There aren''t many Hollywood stars like you who can speak Chinese, right?"


    "In fact, there are not many." Ryan avoids the most important things. "Chinese was when I was young. I learned it from a Chinese volunteer in the orphanage. My language talent is not bad..."...


    Speaking of which. He laughed self-deprecatingly, "Although I only speak English, Chinese. And not much French, I think it''s still good. I studied for a long time at that time. Later, when I was in London, I asked a special private teacher."


    "So, you have a good understanding of Chinese culture?"


    "I can''t talk about understanding, let''s know a little bit."


    As soon as Ryan''s voice fell, Yang Lan asked the essential question when facing foreigners, "What is your impression of China?"


    "A very beautiful country." The reason why Ryan accepted the interview was to leave a better image. "Before coming to Shanghai, I used to film in Guilin. It was so beautiful..."


    As long as it doesn''t involve sensitive issues, Ryan doesn''t mind saying all the words he has used to praise.


    Of course, his apparent identity is a Hollywood movie star, and the central point of the topic is naturally inseparable from the movie.


    "Actually, it is the director Peter Jackson who has made the most contribution to the "Lord of the Rings" series. It can be said that this series would not have been successful without him." Ryan knew that humility must be shown here, "for the sake of three Qu Movie, he has worked for more than six years so far."


    The audience under the stage made a surprised sound.


    "Can you tell me in detail? I believe many viewers are curious about how such a magnificent movie was made." Yang Lan asked timely.


    "As early as 1997, Peter found me and provided the first draft of the script." Ryan explained in the simplest possible language, which was also a promotion for the film. "He moved me, and the film was officially approved. , It took two years for the preparatory work to start, and the subsequent shooting lasted for another year and a half. For such a magical work, post-production requires more effort than shooting. "


    "So the trilogy was filmed at the same time?"


    "Yes, long-term shooting is very hard and cumbersome. We actors can take a vacation, but the director cannot."


    "Can you tell us how much budget did you initially prepare for this series?" Yang Lan asked.


    "The initial budget is 300 million U.S. dollars. The actual production cost far exceeds this figure, about 350 million U.S. dollars!"


    "You were only seventeen years old then? What prompted you to make such a large investment? And the previous "Titanic", as we all know, this project was also promoted by your investment."


    Ryan laughed, "I have confidence in the Hollywood film model, as well as intuition. It turns out that my intuition is fairly reliable. These films have all been successful."


    "We all know that you just finished filming "Star Wars", will you be participating in a new movie next?"


    "Yes, this is not only my job, but also my greatest interest." Ryan thought for a while, and said deliberately, "The new work will probably be adapted with a real event."


    "Is it convenient to disclose the content?"


    Hearing this, Ryan smiled and shook his head, "Sorry, this is a trade secret, and I only have a preliminary idea, and I will continue to think about it after returning to North America."


    "From the point of view of a media practitioner, Ryan, in recent years you have received fewer and fewer interviews, and you have almost never appeared on interview shows. Why?"


    "I always have a lot of work to do. Filming is only part of the job, and I have to deal with a lot of things." Ryan shrugged elegantly, "Time is always not enough."


    "Speaking of work, I don''t know if you have heard of Ryan''s other identity?" Yang Lan did not sell Guanzi, and directly said the answer, "He is also the chairman of Walt Disney."


    "It''s the Disneyland that owns Disneyland and the Disney that created Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck." She added.


    There were bursts of consternation from the audience, and some of them opened their mouths wide.


    "Can you tell me what it''s like to be the chairman of Disney, Ryan?"


    "Actually, I rarely participate in specific operations." Ryan shook his head and smiled. "Disney has a professional team of professional managers to handle daily affairs. My work is mainly in the film business."


    Yang Lan cleverly controls the trend of the topic. As long as the other party''s question is not excessive, Ryan is also willing to answer with cooperation, sometimes with humor.


    "How many times has this been to China?" The topic went round and went back to the beginning.


    "Hmm..." Ryan recalled, "The first time I came here was to attend a concert in Jinzhou, and later went to Hangzhou to see the progress of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". This should be the fourth time."


    "If it wasn''t for work, I would actually like to stay here for a while." He said with a smile.


    "We all know that you invested in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Do you have any plans to continue cooperating with China in the next step?"


    "Disney has been working hard to establish a solid cooperative relationship with China. We have in-depth cooperation with Huayi on "Harry Potter". A young Chinese girl is about to play an important role in "Harry Potter". Have¡­¡­"


    Ryan talked a lot, but in fact, most of them have been working hard in recent years.


    The opposite Ms. Yang is a smart person and has studied in the United States for many years. She also knows what Ryan''s identity and wealth represent, and has never touched any sensitive issues.


    Her interviews are still going to North America, and negotiations with TV stations are also ongoing.


    In the end, she made a little joke, "Ryan, you have a very kind nickname among supporters in China, I wonder if you have heard of it?"


    "Of course." Ryan nodded and said with a deliberately embarrassed smile, "Is it Xiao Rui?"


    The audience and Yang Lan laughed at the same time.


    "I know this is a way for them to express their affection for me." Ryan said afterwards, "Actually, I also like it very much."


    Although the interview was not broadcast live, Ryan then left China. After this episode was broadcast, the image of a Hollywood star who speaks fluent Chinese, understands China, and loves Chinese culture was erected here, even if the opponents It''s everywhere, but Ryan is still the most popular Hollywood star, and movies under his name tend to attract more audiences. ()

 Chapter 584： We want to keep it secret

    The broadcast of the talk show has played a role in propaganda to a certain extent. Regardless of whether the capital is official or private, the pursuit of profit is a natural commonality. China Film Group has also been building momentum for the film. Although the box office has declined in the next two weeks, it is basically Stabilized about 20 million yuan.


    However, the tour of "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" in China''s theaters is over. Whether the film can continue to be released is not a decision by the market.


    As an imported film from Hollywood, it is almost impossible to obtain a postponed ¡®secret key¡¯ for a certain game. Four weeks after the release of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", it was completely off-stage from the Chinese theaters.


    Even if it was only released for less than a month, the movie still got 120 million yuan in the box office in China. Although it was less than 20 million yuan converted into U.S. dollars, it still has the number of screens and audiences today. Under the constraints of other conditions, such a result is very good.


    If it can be extended, the film breaking 200 million won''t be a problem at all.


    Although he can only get 20% of the share, Ryan is still very satisfied with this trip to China. This is just the beginning. The Chinese market has not yet reached the stage for power, and he and Disney have already determined some Advantage.


    Moreover, the hot release of movies such as "Hero" and "The Lord of the Rings" has also made the capital here pay attention to the theater market. According to the news from Disney''s Far East branch, there are many Chinese groups that are preparing to enter the theater industry in the near future. .


    When "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" was released, it was hard to find a ticket during prime time in some major cities. Only with enough screens will there be a market for movies.


    Compared to the Chinese market, which has just entered a stage of rapid development, North America is still the most important ticket warehouse for Hollywood.


    After the first two weeks of its popularity, the film inevitably entered a rapid cooling phase. The box office in the third week plummeted to 45.2 million U.S. dollars.


    By the fourth week, as other movies were released one after another, the number of theaters dropped to more than 2,700. The single-library box office in a single week also fell below 10,000 U.S. dollars, and the box office figure for the new week stayed above 24.79 million U.S. dollars.


    In less than a month, the North American box office of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" reached a total of 270 million US dollars, showing the momentum of the annual box office champion.


    At the same time, the film has gradually entered the end of the screening period in overseas regions where the film was released simultaneously, and the box office growth has slowed down. However, the film has earned more than 700 million yuan from the world in one month. The US dollar box office almost caught up with the more than 800 million US dollars of last year''s world box office champion "Spider-Man".


    Some new overseas regions. For example, Russia and the Arab world have joined the ranks of screenings. These are new growth points for the box office. According to the forecasts of several professional organizations, the global box office of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" broke one billion U.S. dollars at all. .


    The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy series has led the trend of world movie magical epics, and many people have become beneficiaries of it.


    For example, the trusteeship of Tolkien''s works and his descendants received considerable copyright fees and shares from them; for example, Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom, with this series, have become Hollywood first-line niches. It can be described as fame and fortune; For example, Andy Serkins, although he hardly showed his true colors in the movie, he has portrayed the greatest motion capture character Gollum, and he can be called a leader in this industry...


    And the two people who benefited the most. It must be Ryan and Peter Jackson.


    Needless to say, Ryan, although the role in "The Lord of the Rings" is nothing but icing on the cake for him, he has received a huge amount of money in return.


    New Zealand fat man Peter Jackson, after the third movie was released. He has become one of the most watched directors in Hollywood in the new century. Not to mention that the trilogy has a total of 10 million US dollars and a 5% box office share, it is only in the mouth of the media. He is almost a super director who can stand alongside James Cameron and Steven Spielberg.


    Peter Jackson can be said to be so beautiful now, and even many professional media believe that he will be one of the most powerful contenders for the best director of the Oscar next year.


    Of course, Ryan knows where Peter Jackson¡¯s flaws are. Although the Silmarillion is still in his hands, he does not intend to release it immediately. Let the big fat man continue to harm Universal Pictures without experiencing a major failure. , How could his swelling heart converge?


    He has heard that this crazy Lord of the Rings fan and King Kong fan is contacting Universal Pictures, intending to bring the world''s most famous characters back to the screen.


    Hmm...maybe I can recommend a heroine to him. The two sides have been happily working together on "The Lord of the Rings", and I must definitely think about it.


    "Hey, hello, hello, my dear brother Ryan!"


    Taylor''s voice came from the side, "Are you here to help, or to make trouble, do you want to break Nat''s favorite vase?"


    Holding an abstract vase, Ryan quickly recovered from his random thoughts, turned his head and blinked at Taylor, and walked into the living room of the villa.


    This is Natalie¡¯s North Hollywood villa, which occupies approximately two acres. After graduating from Harvard, she handled some private affairs in New York, and officially moved to Los Angeles, with Scarlett, who had moved out of the house a long time ago. Johnson became a neighbor.


    "Nate, where do you put this?"


    Walking to Natalie, who was acting as the conductor in the center of the living room, Ryan clicked on the large vase he was holding with his chin.


    "Place it at the door." Natalie pointed to the other side, and after Ryan put it down, she shouted to Scarlett who had come down from the stairs, "Scarlett, help clean up the lilies that Taylor brought. Our work today is complete."


    "Okay, I will go now."


    The blonde girl ran out of the villa, and it didn''t take long for Taylor to walk in each holding a large bouquet of flowers, and put them in the vases Ryan had placed.


    "Oh, finally finishing up."


    Tyler walked to the sofa and slumped on the high backrest. "Nate''s new home is very beautiful."


    She turned her head and looked at Scarlett sitting on the solo sofa, "Much better than your taste."


    "Alison!" Scarlett bared her teeth, threw away the sweat-wiping towel, and continued, "If you don''t speak, no one treats you as an egg!"


    "Have you seen me such a beautiful egg?" The little girl almost jumped up, rushed to Scarlett''s side, and made a mess, "Speaking of which, you are more like an egg, and it''s chubby, touching It feels great!"


    As she said, she pressed her hand on Scarlett''s chest and pinched two of them, "Wow, Scarlett, you are getting bigger again!"


    "Do you think every girl is like you?" Scarlett retaliated unceremoniously. "I''ll be fourteen soon, and it''s the airport!"


    "Hey! You little fat girl..." This almost directly hit the girl''s pain point, and Taylor almost jumped up again.


    Natalie looked this way, Ryan gave her a wink, and the Long Island girl walked over and pulled away the two girls who were hugging each other, "Okay, Scarlett, Alison, what do you want to do? "


    "Nothing..." Tyler stuck out his tongue, raised his nose at Scarlett, walked to Ryan''s side and sat on the couch.


    The two girls have been used to fighting since they were young, and Ryan didn''t care and tidied up her scattered blonde hair. "My dear, you are a big girl now, but you are still so naughty."


    "She will always be a little kid who grows up." Scarlett sorted out her t-shirt and said to this side, "Especially in front of you, Ryan."


    "It''s not a grin." Tyler held Ryan''s arm and turned his head to the other side.


    She has obviously entered a period of rapid development. During this period of time, she has been growing taller, completely surpassing Scarlett and Natalie, but in front of people close to her, she still looks like a rascal...


    Out of the wealthy area where Natalie and Scarlett lived, Ryan and his party came to an Italian restaurant near Laurel Valley Boulevard.


    There were not many people in the restaurant. Ryan found a quiet seat next to the window. After a few girls ordered food, they sat together and chatted and ate.


    "Cheers for Nat to move to Los Angeles!"


    Although the cups were full of juice, everyone''s cups still touched after Ryan suggested.


    "Cheers for Scarlett to win the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival!" After everyone was filled with juice, Natalie proposed again.


    "Yes, to Scarlett, cheers!" Taylor quickly agreed.


    "Thank you!"


    After clinking the glasses, Scarlett Johansson turned here deliberately, "Thank you, Ryan."


    "You''re welcome." Ryan smiled, "We are friends, we should help each other, besides, this kind of opportunity is rare."


    Judy Foster is the chairman of the jury at this year¡¯s Cannes Film Festival. Public relations are a little easier, but Sophia Coppola lost the Palme d¡¯Or.


    "Lost in Tokyo" has a total of 8 million dollars in investment A considerable part of it comes from Ryan, even if it is for later profit, he will find a way to gild this film.


    "What are your plans for shooting next?"


    While eating a fairly authentic Italian meal, Natalie asked Ryan.


    "If you want to adapt a movie, it may take longer." Ryan put down the tableware, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth. "The film adapted from the declassified Iranian hostage incident is now being negotiated with the CIA to get it as soon as possible. To the authorization. What about you, Nat? You are now graduated, do you have any plans?"


    "Receive a movie of interest." Natalie looked at the two girls who were muttering opposite, and turned her energy back to Ryan, "Then continue to learn about directors, only to embark on this road. I realized that it¡¯s really not easy."


    She smiled at Ryan, "How can it be possible if you don''t work hard if you want to make achievements? I and Scarlett are planning to shoot an experimental movie."


    "Confidentiality?" Ryan asked.


    "Well, confidentiality!" Scarlett on the opposite side answered first. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 585： Camerons sorry

    It is not easy to build a legend on this land. In some ways, Ryan, like Natalie and Nicole, also wants to engrave his name deeply in Hollywood and North America. Of history.


    This kind of carving is not to leave a name on the Avenue of Stars, and for people of his status, it does not have the slightest attraction.


    Now he is undoubtedly the most iconic movie star in Hollywood, not even one of them. For movie fans all over the world, when it comes to Hollywood, the first movie star most people think of is Ryan Jenkins.


    Only Ryan himself understands that these are far from enough.


    There is no doubt that he is at the top of Hollywood in terms of wealth and acting skills, but everything in the past is just repeating the path of his predecessors.


    Maybe he is brilliant enough and brilliant enough now, but he has his own thoughts deep in his heart.


    That¡¯s right, with the huge group of Disney and the judgment ability he has cultivated over the years, it¡¯s not too difficult to find outstanding works that have never appeared in previous lives, but even Natalie is honing her director¡¯s skills. Constantly creating her own works, how can he stop?


    He has enough money, and even if Disney goes bankrupt, it will not have too much impact on a rich life.


    Trying some new themes and taking new steps is his biggest goal in the future. If possible, it would be a kind of happiness to create brilliance with Nicole and Natalie.


    Of course, he will not underestimate himself, nor will he expand his heart. Everything must be done step by step, starting with trying.


    In the next movie, he aimed at the Iranian hostage incident that the CIA had declassified in the past few years. Although the people below are still negotiating with the CIA and the retired agents who personally participated in the plan at the time, it is not the sensitive era before. Relying on his reputation to get the authorization problem is not too big.


    The road always has to be taken step by step, just like his experience in the past years.


    The sound of the bathroom door opening interrupted Ryan''s thoughts. Natalie walked out of it after taking a shower, took off the towel that covered her hair, sat in front of the dressing table, picked up the hairdryer and blew on her wet brown curly hair. .


    Ryan walked over, stood behind the chair, took the hair dryer in Natalie''s hand, and skillfully managed the long brown curly hair.


    Sit quietly in a chair. Natalie didn''t say anything. Looking through the vanity mirror, she saw Ryan''s serious look. Her brown eyes flickered a few times. When her sky-blue eyes also saw her in the mirror, Natalie showed With sweet smiles, the two of them looked through a mirror and looked at each other constantly, as if they were young men and women who had just fallen in love.


    "How long have we known each other?"


    Wait for the blower to stop rotating. Natalie put her small head on Ryan''s palm and rubbed it slowly, "It''s been more than ten years?"


    "How old is Alison." Ryan''s other hand landed on the girl''s face, stroking the iconic mole. "We''ve known each other for how long."


    After speaking, he leaned over and kissed on his forehead with drooping curly hair.


    "Did you stand at the intersection on purpose..." Natalie turned her head, looked at Ryan''s eyes and asked, "Then wait for me to hit you?"


    "Hey. Nat." Ryan turned his chair around and squatted in front of Natalie. "That''s just a coincidence. Think about it, how do I know which neighborhood you live in? We''re in the dessert shop. It''s just a chance encounter..."


    "Is that really the case? Why do I always feel..."


    Before she finished speaking, Ryan pulled her in front of her, and blocked her mouth with her own mouth. The four lips were closed together. Natalie just resisted a little bit, and she plunged into a deep kiss. Among.


    Ryan moved her hands and feet together, and Natalie''s pajamas quickly fell to the ground...


    After everything calmed down, the two lay together, opened the skylight of the bedroom, and looked at the stars in the sky through the glass windows, just like sitting on the beach and watching the stars together in the past.


    "Nate..."


    Stroking the smooth back in his arms, Ryan remembered what he had mentioned during dinner, "When do you plan to start preparing your experimental film?"


    "I took a new play, wait until the filming is over." Natalie said with a flushed face and said politely, "If you need help, I will definitely speak."


    "Yeah." Ryan replied, lowered his head and kissed her nose.


    Now that she has an idea, she will implement it according to her wishes, and she will provide financial, equipment, and manpower assistance.


    If the quality of the experimental feature film can be guaranteed, it is not impossible to push it into the theater. Although the short film "Coffee" is far from excellent, it is after all the work of the Star Wars Queen, which has attracted the attention of many people. The click-through rate above is also pretty good.


    "That''s right, Ryan." Natalie seemed to think of something important, and suddenly propped up her upper body on his chest, "Some time ago..."


    She glanced at Ryan, and finally said, "You went to China, Taylor and Scarlett were with me most of the time, I think..."


    "What''s the matter?" The two girls are often fooling around, and Ryan thought they had done something excessive. "Did Alison be naughty again?"


    "No." Natalie''s eyebrows frowned, and after thinking about it, she said again, "Don''t you think she and Scarlett are sometimes too close?"


    "Intimate?" Ryan understood roughly, smiled and squeezed Natalie''s face. "They''ve been such a big trouble since they were young, Nat, don''t worry."


    "Okay." Natalie lay down again. "Maybe I think too much."


    Regarding Taylor, Ryan was not very worried. Although the little girl was always naive in front of him, she was actually far more mature than her age, and she was smart enough to know what to do and what not to do.


    Back in Los Angeles, in addition to work appointments, Ryan was also unavoidable for some entertainment. After entering July, he was invited to participate in the premiere of "Terminator 3" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.


    The sequel copyright of this series, just like "Mission Impossible", was originally sold by Ryan as part of the transaction. Twentieth Century Fox began preparations last year. It took only one year to create the third unit.


    Entering the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, Ryan shook hands or nodded to the people who came to say hello, and found the location of the future governor, and walked directly over.


    "Arnold, how are you preparing." After greeting James Cameron and others next to him, Ryan stood opposite Schwarzenegger, "The campaign is about to begin, right?"


    "October."


    Arnold Schwarzenegger said seriously, "There is always some certainty, my team is already ready."


    "Then I''ll wait for your good news." Ryan shook his hand firmly.


    In any case, the other party accepted his own political donation, and being elected governor does no harm to him.


    "Hey, Jim." Ryan turned to James Cameron and asked, "What have you been up to lately? Nicole had a yacht party the other day, why is Susie alone?"


    "It''s nothing, it''s not about photographic equipment."


    James Cameron waved his hand, and suddenly said solemnly, "Sorry, Ryan, I didn''t expect things to become like this."


    "No, no,...Jim, it has nothing to do with you." Ryan patted his arm. "We don''t need to say such extraneous things."


    "I recommended her anyway." James Cameron sighed.


    "Okay, let''s not talk about this." Ryan took the initiative to change the subject, "Is there a new diving plan recently?"


    The two people stopped mentioning what was just now, and the topic gradually turned to the sea and Schwarzenegger''s upcoming election.


    Although the Miss Jessica Alba recommended by James Cameron did cause some trouble, it is not a big deal. Anyway, "Scream" has changed the heroine once, and the big deal is changed again. That''s it.


    In the past life, there were always many rumors about Hollywood stars in the media. These seemingly unreliable news will eventually become more than 90% of them. .


    Through "Apocalypse Black Angel" and "Screaming Scream", Jessica Alba is also a popular Hollywood star. Although it is very far away from the first line, and will never cross that line, but with her figure and appearance, It has also become the object of chasing by many people.


    Ryan didn¡¯t know the specific situation. He only heard that Jessica Alba had been dating the famous shortstop Derek Gitt of the New York Yankees for a while, and then was photographed by the paparazzi to go to the hospital for gynecology. There was news that she had a sexually ill.


    Of course, the actress and her agent are not fools, and they have repeatedly denied it, but, just like the rumors in Hollywood, the news was finally confirmed that she was indeed infected by Derek Gite.


    In Hollywood, it doesn''t matter how you play but you have this disease...it can only be said that the image is destroyed.


    Jenkins Pictures could only suspend the new "Screaming Scream" in preparation and consider replacing the heroine; Warner Bros., who included her as Princess Diana''s candidate, also gave up this plan.


    Therefore, James Cameron, who originally recommended Ryan, was sorry.


    Of course, this is just a trivial matter. It may not be easy to find new actresses with superb acting skills from Hollywood, but a vase like this is not difficult.


    After having a conversation in the front hall, Ryan followed the crowd into the theater. This new "Terminator" sequel is not much different from the previous life, and it is released at this time, except for the summer file. , There must be a reason for Arnold Schwarzenegger to build momentum in it.


    Hollywood stars have long since gotten rid of their previous embarrassing status. In this country, no matter which industry they are in, as long as they can become a top-level figure, they will naturally be accepted by the mainstream society, and entering the upper-class society is not a problem at all.


    In the land of California, the worship of stars is even greater, and public opinion is unanimously optimistic that Arnold Schwarzenegger will be elected as the new governor of California. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 586： Delusional disorder patient

    After the premiere, Ryan and other people who attended the premiere went to a villa of Arnold Schwarzenegger. The future governor prepared a grand party to celebrate the release of his new movie. It also further builds momentum for the upcoming election.


    Those who can come to the premiere are all Hollywood celebrities. If a few more people openly support him, the odds of winning will definitely increase a lot.


    The air-conditioning in the spacious banquet hall is full of air-conditioning. Even if you are wearing gifts, you can¡¯t feel the slightest heat. The waiter holding the tray shuttles back and forth among the crowd, bringing a drink to the guests, and a few people continue to bring them from the back kitchen. For example, exquisite delicacies such as Alaskan king crab are placed on the long dining table in the center of the banquet hall.


    Like all parties, most of the food on the table serves as a decoration. Few people who enter this occasion will really eat and drink. Even if someone is hungry, they will choose a few exquisite snacks. , Choose the rest area on the edge of the hall.


    The melodious dance music reached the end, Ryan let go of her partner and patted her palms with the others.


    "Don''t continue?" the girl opposite asked.


    "No." Ryan heard Chopin''s fourth waltz and voluntarily withdrew from the dance floor. The girl followed from behind, "Need something to drink?" Linda Hamilton, who was passing by, said hello, Rui En walked to the long dining table, found a tray and took a few French snacks at random, chose the beveled rest area, and sat at a small round table.


    The female dancer introduced by Schwarzenegger came over with two glasses of juice and sat across from him.


    This is a typical Jewish girl, about 10** years old, with long dark brown hair that is close to black, and a slender body that is five feet nine inches tall. Unlike the slenderness of Nicole and Charlize, her figure is more like an Oriental, and her appearance is also close to the aesthetics of an Oriental.


    In other words, her appearance can find the intersection in the aesthetics of the East and the West.


    "Miss Gado..." Ryan looked at the two eyebrows that were as thick as Natalie, and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a smile. "Call me Gail."


    "Actually. I know Natalie." She added, "I am an Israeli, last year. I met Nat at a meeting in Jerusalem."


    "You came from Israel?" Ryan looked at her again, she was a little familiar, but couldn''t recall the relevant information.


    "I do some modeling work in Israel." She took a sip of the juice and said with her red lips. "I received an invitation from the US letter company some time ago to take some cover pictures about Israeli female soldiers." "It''s done." The other party nodded, and after hesitating a bit, he continued, "I was going to return to Israel. I have served in the military. But my agent won a film audition opportunity for me."


    "Yeah~"


    Replied casually, Ryan''s gaze turned to the back of the Jewish girl, and a middle-aged man strode towards this side, and some distance away, he stretched out his hand.


    "Hi. Ryan, it''s been a long time since I saw you."


    "I haven''t seen him for a while, Roland, what have you been up to lately?" Ryan shook his stretched body, then motioned to sit casually.


    "Look for the right movie theme." Roland Emmerich sat in the chair next to him, "and then look for the right investment."


    "So you have found a suitable subject again?" Ryan pushed the porcelain plate aside and asked with a smile, "Roland, wouldn''t you be..."


    "Yes!"


    Roland Emmerich confessed directly, "I wrote a new script, and first thought of you, Ryan, I think we can continue the glory of "** Day"."...


    "Is there a script or..." Ryan made a gesture of turning the page, "Can you give me a general idea?"


    Now Roland Emmerich is not the first-line commercial film director after "** Day". After experiencing two very ordinary works of "Godzilla" and "Patriot", he is in the hearts of Hollywood producers. The status plummeted, especially for "The Patriot." Sony Columbia Pictures'' production costs of up to 110 million U.S. dollars were only exchanged for a global box office of just over 200 million U.S. dollars, which directly led to the end of the four-year cooperation between the two parties. relationship.


    Hollywood filmmakers are very realistic people. It is conceivable that a person who has messed up two major productions in a row can make a big investment.


    "It suddenly occurred to me that there is still something to deal with."


    Although the Jewish **** the opposite side was young, she was a smart man. After hearing what they said, she quickly stood up and said goodbye, "Goodbye, Ryan, I will contact you and Nat again next day."


    "Well, goodbye." Ryan nodded to her, then turned to Roland Emmerich''s side and made a please gesture.


    "Ryan, don''t you know if you have read "The Coming Global Superstorm" written by Whitley Streber and Art Bell?" Roland Emmerich asked seriously.


    "You mean..." Of course, Ryan knew about this book, and even thought about it, but it was a pity that, like Brokeback Mountain, the right to adapt was bought out early.


    "Yes, I plan to adapt it into a movie." Roland Emmerich briefly explained in the eyes of Ryan''s inquiry. "There is a theory in the book that there will be a huge storm in the future. The description of how the changes come is not very realistic, but it is a great way to express it."


    After listening to him, Ryan understood that it should probably be that movie.


    Roland Emmerich continued, "I plan to use a film to shoot the story of the sudden and rapid cooling of the earth, represented by North America, within a day, and the story of entering the ice age. With the ice, Manhattan has become an ice world like Antarctica, and human beings have nowhere to hide..."


    The other party said it for about a few minutes, and Ryan was sure that there was nothing wrong with "The Day After Tomorrow".


    "Well, Roland."


    When he stopped, Ryan immediately made a decision, "Send the complete script to Disney as soon as possible. I roughly understand what kind of movie you want to build. I am also very interested in such a climate disaster movie. "


    "That''s good." Roland Emmerich nodded without hesitation. This is the key to his turning over, "I will go to Burbank tomorrow."


    Watching Roland Emmerich leave in a hurry, Ryan simply sat in this quiet place, ready to wait for the time to be almost time, and then bid farewell to the master.


    This location is excellent. Most of the places in the banquet hall can be observed. Ryan boringly scans through familiar or strange people, and finally stops at a table in front of him with great interest.


    Sitting at the table was a person similar to his age, and Ryan was interested in his outfit.


    Participating in this kind of formal social party, men are not dressed up in formal dresses and bow ties, and their behaviors should also follow the most basic etiquette in this society as much as possible. This is both respect for others and respect for oneself.


    But this one is different. His thick black hair is ruffled, covering his head in a mess; his dirty beard is not very long, but it is very conspicuous; the blue jeans he wears are not only a little white, but there is a faint oil stain on it. ; On that cocked leg, there are still brown riding boots...


    Isn''t this a wild campfire party for the cowboys? Ryan shook his head.


    The other party was just like that. It seemed that he was not eye-catching enough and didn''t attract people''s attention. This person started to eat Hesai in the most unrestrained way.


    The biggest Alaskan king crab was placed on the table in front of him. This one probably didn¡¯t pay attention to any method. He used the simplest, most direct, and most violent means to dismantle the crab, regardless of that. The clicking sound caused the people around to frown frequently, as if they were completely immersed in the food.


    A crab and a lobster quickly turned into broken shells piled up in front of you...


    Joseph burped full, looked at his oily hands, and noticed the many pairs of eyes that faintly looked at. He secretly liked that his maverick was really effective, and wiped his hands on the jeans in a more exaggerated way. Of oil stains.


    He is a young actor, just like those young people who dream of being a star, hoping to become famous overnight and gain both fame and fortune, he has just arrived in Hollywood from a distant hometown.


    Then... and then he found that things were completely different from what he thought. He thought that with his handsome appearance and excellent acting skills, he would soon become the protagonist in the big production, like Ryan Jenkins, Catherine Kennedy, Zhu Famous producers like Liz Stewart, as well as big directors such as James Cameron and Steven Spielberg will definitely come to the door and invite themselves to star in their movies.


    However, after coming to Hollywood for half a year, although he successfully signed a contract with a brokerage company and got a few roles, he didn''t even have a chance to feature a positive feature, let alone a line.


    How can things be like this? They are completely burying talents! People like yourself are born to become big stars!


    There must be something wrong!


    Joseph thought he was very clever. He realized that some things were not right. After a period of thinking, he found that the people in Hollywood were too insightful and could not see their talents at all. Their eyes were obviously problematic!


    Also, the people who deal with him are all too low-level. They are all directors, actors and producers he has never heard of. It is normal for them to have no vision, otherwise they would have been famous long ago. Will be as unknown as it is now.


    So, Joseph, in some ways, found out about such a high-end party after "Terminator 3", he decided to enter this party and appear in front of the celebrities in the most amazing way. ()

 Chapter 587： Delusional disorder patient 2

    Although he did not get the expected protagonist, he has been struggling at the bottom of Hollywood for more than half a year, but Joseph somewhat understands that the competition in Hollywood seems to be a little bit fiercer than expected. Schwarzenegger¡¯s party will definitely have many people attending. How can you make yourself dazzling in the crowd?


    This confident little actor, with incomparable confidence and enthusiasm, consulted a lot of information about the upper class, especially from some rumors on the Internet, and got some tips on how to get ahead in a large party. Set what he thinks is the most appropriate plan.


    That is, it must be distinguished, distinctive, unique, and memorable, so that it will become the center of the party, so that it can attract the attention of those big people, so that it can leave a deep impression on them.


    Only in this way can they regret not having met such a talented person earlier.


    Therefore, Joseph deliberately chose a set of old jeans, and borrowed the same old riding boots from a prop artist of the crew. In order to show a distinctive image, he deliberately did not take care of the long hair and thick hair for several days. The beard looks greasy and smooth.


    The son of the auto mechanic drove an old Ford with black smoke and came to the luxury villa where the party was held. Before getting off the car, he took a special photo in the rearview mirror. He was extraordinary. The dressing up is extremely satisfying. What are those people in dresses and bow ties? Compared with myself, there is no special feature at all!


    He was very confident and broke into the villa confidently.


    Perhaps it was the effect of these self-confidence, or perhaps the company that organized the party just used him as a kitchen helper or as a messenger in the villa. Joseph almost didn''t encounter any difficulties, so he entered the villa and followed the crowd to the party''s banquet hall. .


    then. He saw familiar faces that often appeared in newspapers, Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Cameron, Linda Hamilton, Kate Winslet. And Ryan Jenkins sitting in the corner...


    My own opportunity has arrived. This is your own moment!


    Joseph walked through the crowd confidently, but found that, unlike what he had imagined, the big men didn''t notice him at all.


    Why is it so? Shouldn''t you be the central point of the banquet? Don¡¯t you have enough personality?


    Maybe you can recommend yourself in front of those people?


    This idea just appeared. Joseph denied it. With his talent and destined to have a brilliant future, how could he do such a cheeky thing?


    His eyes swept across the banquet hall and he noticed immediately. Everyone is so vulgar, eating and talking politely, no different from fools, no personality at all. Seeing these vulgar people, Joseph immediately thought of another good way. He went straight to the table in the center of the banquet hall and took the largest crab and lobster specially. Deliberately chose a table not far from Ryan Jenkins, and ate and drank in the way he thought he was the most individual.


    Long hair, sullen beard, and ripped jeans. The most outrageous way of eating and drinking, Joseph thinks that there is no one with more personality in the banquet hall.


    The fact is exactly the same. The sound of eating and drinking and the cracking of the shells of crabs and lobsters attracted people around them to watch. There is more and more situation, and he has almost become the protagonist of this small half of the banquet hall... ¡­


    Joseph felt very happy. He found that Ryan Jenkins'' eyes had fallen on him not far away, with obvious surprises in his expression¡ªin fact, surprise¡ªthat his plan had succeeded!


    Handsome, superb acting, and distinctive personality. With so many advantages, he was born for the protagonist. I heard that Disney is launching several major productions at the same time. Which movie would Ryan Jenkins invite himself to play the protagonist?


    Ghost Rider? No, that''s just a marginal hero...


    National treasure? Forget it, this movie feels so-so when I hear the name...


    Correct! iron Man! I heard that Marvel Comics is preparing the movie version of this series, so I reluctantly starred in Tony Stark! Also, the producer must find an actress who is beautiful enough to play the role of Pepper, otherwise he will refuse to sign the actor contract!


    He wiped his oily hands on the worn-out denim, and looked at the place where Ryan Jenkins was again. He saw an admiring smile on the corner of his mouth. He seemed to be completely moved by his extraordinary temperament. , Presumably he will come over in the next moment and actively invite himself, right?


    How much should I pay for the film? Ten million dollars? No, it''s too low, don''t do anything for less than 20 million dollars!


    By the way, there is also a division. I heard that big-name actors can be divided from the box office of the film. How much do you want? How can it be less than 20%, right? Otherwise, how can you be worthy of the identity of the future Hollywood superstar?


    Forget it, I''ll leave it to the agent to negotiate...


    Thinking of this, Joseph squeezed his chin with his oily hands, nodded to Ryan Jenkins not far away, and said hurry up, do I have to go there myself?


    At this moment, Joseph saw two men in black suits approaching here. He was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed. The other party is a big Hollywood figure, and he must have asked his subordinates to come over and invite himself... well, wait. I am well-developed, and I also need some assistants and bodyguards.


    "Sir, can you come with us?" Two people stood behind him one by one, and they seemed very polite.


    "That..." Joseph wanted to agree immediately, but suddenly thought that he should be arrogant in order to let the other party show more sincerity, "I''m very busy..."


    The other party smiled brightly and seemed to insist on the invitation just now.


    "okay then."


    Joseph stroked his oily hair, stood up and followed the two black suits to the outside of the banquet hall. When he reached the door, he realized that something was wrong.


    Aren¡¯t you going to see Ryan Jenkins? How can you go out with them, what do these two people do?


    "Hey¡­¡­"


    As soon as he walked out of the banquet hall, before he could say anything, he covered his mouth with one hand, and two arms set him up and walked towards the parking lot in front.


    "Do you have an invitation letter?"


    "Who brought you in?"


    The two black suits were really not at all polite. They put him in the car and pressed them on the back seat. Without giving Joseph any chance to speak, they pulled out of Schwarzenegger¡¯s villa and came to a quiet road. , The parking was thrown into the green belt on the side of the road.


    Joseph held on to a palm tree, and when he regained his balance, the car had gone away amidst the sound of the motor, leaving him only with unpleasant exhaust fumes.


    Settling down, Joseph couldn''t help but look up at the sky. The stars are a little bit in the night. He should be the most shining one in the center. According to the model on the Internet, he should be the center of the party. Should I attract everyone''s attention? Why is the result like this?


    Walking back to the villa area, Joseph found his old Ford. This car was not only dilapidated, but also full of all kinds of garbage. Because the anger needed to be vented, he simply threw some of the garbage on the car. On the ground, only then drove away.


    A cleaner came in time to clean up the rubbish. He found a file bag and opened it. It was a medical certificate from a hospital¡ªJoseph Gordon, suffering from severe delusion...


    In the banquet hall, Drew Barrymore approached him and sat across from Ryan.


    "Who was that person just now?" She was very curious. The person who dressed like that to attend this kind of party was really amazing. "He has been watching you."


    "Who knows." Ryan shook his head indifferently, "Probably it is the servant of Arnold''s family."


    The dress appeared here, and he didn''t even understand the most basic manners. There was obviously a problem with his head. The person who notified Arnold to come over was his bodyguard.


    "Have you seen my new movie?" Drew leaned back in his chair and gently rubbed his forehead, as if he had drunk a lot of alcohol. "Just the first half of the year."


    ""Confessions of Dangerous Thoughts"?" Ryan beckoned to the waiter, who sent two cups of soda. "The one you worked with George Clooney?"


    "Yes." The baby face on the opposite side nodded.


    "I heard, I haven''t read it yet." Ryan recalled the relevant report he had read, "The comments seem to be pretty good."


    "But the box office is not ideal." Drew sighed, "North America only got less than 20 million US dollars."


    "So..."


    Remember that Julia Roberts appeared on the poster of the movie, and the bad luck of the Oscar queen seems to be traditional, "Well, Drew..."


    Ryan¡¯s eyes floated over Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was not far away to entertain guests, "Have you ever thought about bringing Arnold, StalloneBruce Willis and others together. Together, shoot an action movie? Or make a series."


    "This is crazy." Drew Barrymore''s mouth trembled. "Ryan, have you considered their pay?"


    "You can wait for a while." Ryan picked up the soda, took a sip, and continued, "Wait for them to get older, and then..."


    "Let me persuade them to take the initiative to lower the pay." Drew understood what Ryan meant.


    "It depends on how you operate."


    Films like "The Expendables" don¡¯t have anything commendable in terms of creativity. Ryan has no interest in this kind of high-investment and low-profit project. Let¡¯s throw it to Drew Barrymore. With her communicative skills, say Maybe someday I can convince these action superstars and let the movie come out in advance.


    Maybe it is possible to add Charlie''s three angels to it for a fight between men and women?


    Before it was too late, Ryan left the party. After all, he still had work to deal with during the day, and the new film also reached an agreement with the CIA. ()

 Chapter 588： Hello godfather

    For Schwarzenegger¡¯s party, Ryan quickly put it behind his head. This kind of party will appear in Hollywood every day. To say that it is special, it will undoubtedly involve the upcoming California governorship.


    As for the person whose head he thought was not normal at the time, he hardly left any impression, and he would never have thought that there was indeed a problem with the other person''s head.


    Compared with these, Ryan is more interested in "Terminator 3". This movie, like the previous life, has been criticized by the media and audiences after its release. However, in his opinion, the film is still more advanced than the previous life. At least the choice of heroes and heroines is much better. I didn''t choose a pair of crooked melons and cracked dates like in my previous life.


    Of course, the "Terminator" series has been sold to Twentieth Century Fox, and Ryan only paid a little attention to it, and it was confirmed in memory.


    The next day, Ryan waited for Roland Emmerich at Disney, and roughly rummaged through the script brought by the other party and determined that it was "The Day After Tomorrow".


    "Well, Roland, Disney will invest in your movie."


    In the office of the Disney headquarters building, Ryan put down the script and said to the director across from the desk, "I will notify Disney Pictures...well, our people will discuss investment matters with you as soon as possible."


    "How much do you expect to invest?" He asked again.


    "At least one hundred million dollars." Roland Emmerich is also polite. His movie''s main feature is special effects.


    Nodded, Ryan stood up and stretched out his hand. When the other party held it, he said, "Well, this must be a pleasant cooperation."


    "definitely is!"


    Roland Emmerich sighed. Ryan is much happier than the people at Sony Entertainment. Those people, a project, can''t wait to talk to you about the first half of the year.


    Roland Emmerich was sent away, Ryan sat behind the desk. He only needs to understand most of Disney''s affairs, and the focus is still on the film.


    Nowadays, the degree of globalization is getting higher and higher. Last year, the global screenings of Disney''s works have entered the end, and most of them have been offline.


    In the past year, the world¡¯s highest grossing box office was "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers". Although this movie was completely lost to "Spider-Man" in North America, it fought a beautiful turnaround in overseas regions. It won a box office of more than 980 million US dollars, although the screenings in several small areas have not yet ended. But the box office will never exceed the $1 billion threshold.


    As the North American box office champion last year, "Spider-Man" is also popular overseas, entering all overseas markets that Hollywood movies can enter, with a global box office of more than 820 million US dollars, second only to "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" .


    The other film he starred in, "Captain America", has so far exceeded the global box office of 580 million U.S. dollars, which greatly exceeded the surprise expectation. The spread of terrorism worldwide has played a role in the film. Helping effect.


    As for small productions like "The Princess Diaries". Compared with investment, the income is also considerable.


    Judging from the current situation, both "Spider-Man" and "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers" can achieve profit at the box office, and "Captain America" ??barely recovers the cost. But the biggest income of these movies comes from the surrounding areas.


    In fact, when it comes to profitability, an animated feature film like "Shrek" can be called horror, a movie produced by DreamWorks Animation Studio. So far, the global box office has also exceeded 600 million US dollars, but the peripheral income is more than double that of "Captain America".


    Animation film production cycle is long and costly, once successful. It will bring huge benefits.


    "Looking for Nemo" by Pixar Studios will be released in the near future. This film, which was dubbed as a general mobilization by China Film Group in the previous life, can be called the pinnacle of computer animation technology. After the realization of fire and hair, Pixar successfully produced animation ocean.


    The two animated feature films were produced at the same time, which almost became Pixar''s tradition. After finishing all the post-production work of "Finding Nemo", Pixar''s most profitable animation "Cars 2" was put on the agenda by them.


    Compared with Pixar Studios, Disney''s animation department can only be described as silence. They are too far away from their former glory, and their technology and concepts are completely behind the development of the market. These are not things that can be changed by a brilliant idea and script.


    If Disney Animation wants to reshape its glory, it can only accumulate slowly. They are trying to produce some short computer animations to accumulate experience.


    Anyway, there are a lot of fairy tales that can be re-interpreted in the future, and Ryan is not in a hurry.


    Originally, Ryan also thought about whether to leave "Kung Fu Panda" to the Disney Animation Department, but later considered it and gave up directly.


    This cartoon can be described as a typical DreamWorks animation style, neither suitable for Pixar, nor for Disney animation.


    The singing and dancing version of "Kung Fu Panda" makes people tremble to think about.


    Hollywood¡¯s leading animation studios each have their own distinctive style. This type of silly and funny style is undoubtedly the typical style of DreamWorks animation, and its philosophy is completely different from other animation studios.


    Hmm... "Despicable Me" seems to be a good animation for DreamWorks.


    It seems that I should find someone to get the script and characters out in advance. Anyway, Universal Pictures is now a French, and I don''t have any friendship with the French.


    In addition, the negotiations with the Central Intelligence Agency also yielded results. The other party agreed to authorize in principle. After all, this is one of the classic masterpieces.


    Antonio Mendez, who participated in the formulation and personal implementation of the plan, said that with the collaboration of the team sent by Ryan, a memoir will be compiled as soon as possible.


    Ryan also assured him that as long as he gets the right to adapt the film, the publication of the memoir is not a problem at all.


    Near the evening, Ryan left the Disney building and went to Jenkins Pictures not far away.


    After merging into Disney, Jenkins Pictures gradually completed the role change. Those large-invested films were basically transferred to Disney Pictures, and they themselves became distributions such as "American Pie", "Screaming" and "Screaming". "Reaper is coming" and other low-investment film companies.


    Now, another series is undergoing intense post-production here.


    I saw the three men and women with complicated relationships in the editing room on the second floor. After seeing the upcoming post-production, Ryan went to the entertainment room on the first floor and found Taylor and the younger girl she was accompanying. .


    "Hey, Lily..."


    From the center of a pile of wood, Ryan found a four-year-old girl and rubbed her head, "It''s been a long time."


    "Hello, godfather." The little girl was very polite, not as naughty as Taylor at the same time.


    Ryan smiled helplessly when he heard the name that was acquiesced by the people around him, and then glared at Taylor who was sitting behind the little girl. Miss Swift was lying on the table playing with a Rubik''s cube, not even looking at it. Here.


    Nicole is Lily''s godmother, but Ryan never said to be her godfather. The little girl would shout so, of course it was the result of Taylor''s education.


    However, it doesn''t matter if you have one more goddaughter, which is not a big deal in Hollywood.


    "Why are you here?" Ryan picked up Lily, put her on the chair, and sat down across from Taylor. "You don''t need to go to the record company today?"


    "I''m taking a break today." Taylor raised his head and stuffed the Rubik''s Cube to the curious Lily. "Her babysitter asked for leave, and Kate is going to work, so I can¡¯t find anyone to watch her for the time being, so I was sent by Nicole. come."


    "I just watched it for a while." Taylor''s eyes brightened, and the listless look seemed to disappear. "The vampire played by Kate is really cool."


    "My dear, that doesn''t suit your age now." Ryan grabbed her high nose and shook it back and forth. Taylor quickly stretched out his hand to open it, "I just watched a few clips and I was driven off."


    Tyler was naturally talking about "Underworld". After Ryan thought about this series, he asked the screenwriter to get the script out, and then he found Lang Wiseman. Anyway, it was just a small production with an investment of more than 20 million US dollars.


    Unexpectedly, when the producer confirmed Kate Beckinsale as the heroine, Lang Wiseman still found Michael Sheen...


    According to the news he got from Nicole, it seems that Kate Beckinsale has already started dating Ron Wiseman.


    Taylor doesn''t like children very much. Fortunately, Lily is not the kind of crying, two people can barely get together to play together. Taylor spends most of the time teaching Lily to arrange blocks and play Rubik''s Cube, and she is a more responsible sister.


    "sister¡­¡­"


    Lily put down the Rubik''s Cube in her hand and tugged Taylor''s arm, "I want to go to the bathroom."


    "Okay, okay." Tyler turned his head, rolled his eyes helplessly at Ryan, and led the little girl to the bathroom on the other side.


    They had just left, the door of the entertainment room was pushed open from the outside, and Kate Beckinsale walked in with the director.


    "Hi, Ryan." She beckoned and asked, "Where are Lily and Tyler?"


    "Go to the bathroom Ryan motioned to the opposite chair, "Wait a moment, I should be back soon. "


    After Kate Beckinsale sat down, Ryan asked again, "Kate, is your Universal Monster movie finished?"


    "Not yet." She picked up the Rubik''s Cube and turned it twice in her hand. "Director Somos is waiting for the weather in Europe to get cold, and filming will resume at the end of September.


    "Hi, Kate."


    While Taylor''s voice came, the girl handed Lily into Beckinsale''s hands, "Dear Lily, from now on, your mother will take care of you."


    "Thank you elder sister!" The little girl thanked her milkyly.


    "You''re welcome." Taylor followed Ryan''s way, rubbed the little girl''s hair, took out his own bag, took out a purple crystal bow from it, and stuck it on Lily''s brown hair. It''s more beautiful."


    "Time is almost up." Ryan glanced at his watch and reminded, "Let''s go, otherwise Nicole will be anxious." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 589： Which bear?

    The villa¡¯s restaurant was brightly lit, and everyone was sitting on either side of the long oak dining table, enjoying the food prepared by Nicole¡¯s people. Although it was Kate Beckinsale¡¯s mother and daughter, the dinner atmosphere was very relaxed and more. It''s like an ordinary family gathering.


    "This is the venison that Annie brought from Australia."


    Nicole helped Ryan divide the cut barbecue, "a rare, pure game."


    "Are there many wild deer over there?" Tyler helped Lily clean up the plate in front of him. Only then did he fork a piece and put it in her mouth. It seemed to suit her appetite, and asked with interest, "I heard that Ryan Have you hunted it before?"


    "Much."


    Putting down the knife in his hand, Ryan sorted out the cut barbecue and returned to his seat, "Strictly speaking, it should be flooded."


    "I heard Nicole say that the farm is losing a lot?" Kate Beckinsale took a tissue and wiped the greasiness from her daughter''s mouth. "Is there no good way to prevent it?"


    "Last year wild deer caused a loss of about 500,000 Australian dollars." Ryan shook his head. "This year is almost reaching this figure. The farm has held several large-scale hunts, but the effect is not very good. We are preparing to wait for the winter to pass. When the time comes, hold another hunt."


    "what¡­¡­"


    Tyler, who was concentrating on the barbecue, raised his head, swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Really? When will I want to participate, too, isn¡¯t Nicole raising a great hound there? I Haven''t seen it yet."


    "It''s about the end of September." Nicole took over the topic, "We will go together then..."


    With that, she turned to Lily Moxin, "Honey, do you want to go to Australia."


    "Godmother, where is Australia?" The little girl blinked her eyes and said very ladylike, "I have never been..."


    The little girl''s serious voice. It caused everyone to laugh.


    In recent years, it is not uncommon for some animals to be flooded in areas such as Australia and North America. Nicole¡¯s farm is facing threats from the two major groups of hares and wild deer at the same time. These animals not only eat the vegetables and food on the farm. Horse racing fodder, even lavender, has caused nearly one million Australian dollars in losses in just two years.


    After being reviewed by the local government of Queensland, the farmer¡¯s hunting activities for these two animals on their own land are completely legal. In the past six months, many of Ryan and Nicole¡¯s friends have gone hunting there on holiday. Although the harvest is quite fruitful, it hasn¡¯t become too big for the animals that retreat and retreat. Threat.


    "How is Annie''s job?"


    After dinner, the two parties sat in the living room and chatted, Kate Beckinsale also gradually walked into Nicole''s circle, "I have watched her talk show several times. Very good."


    "It''s okay, it''s a bit worse than expected." Nicole took the silver jug ??that Elsa brought and poured tea for everyone. "She has to adapt to the tastes of North American audiences. Some fine-tuning of the show is in progress."


    "There is no problem in becoming a top-notch program of the TV station after adjustment."


    After drinking the lipstick tea, Ryan put down the cup, "Anne worked very hard, and her abilities are also very good."


    "What about you. Nicole." Kate Beckinsale handed her daughter to Taylor. "Oscars have been over for so long, don''t you have a new work plan?"


    "Bought the film adaptation rights for a novel from the UK." Nicole motioned to Taylor not to bully Lily. Turning his head and continuing, "I am ready to be a producer and invest in shooting with Miramax."


    "What novel?"


    Tyler, who was holding Lily around in circles, suddenly asked curiously, "Why haven''t I heard of it?"


    "Just talked to someone."


    Nicole stood up and walked over, took the aggrieved Lily Moxin from Taylor''s hand, and glared at the inconspicuous sister, "Honey, Lily is not your toy."


    "Okay, I apologize." Tyler stuck out his tongue and sat back on the sofa with Nicole.


    "Lily, you have to learn to say no to her." Nicole put the little **** the other side of her. "Your sister Taylor is a trick bag."


    "Yeah!" The little girl nodded obediently.


    Most of the time, Ryan just sits aside and acts as an audience. Many women''s topics are not suitable for him to participate. Occasionally Taylor''s naughty words will cause everyone to laugh.


    Before it was too late, Beckinsale''s mother and daughter were ready to leave.


    "I''m going home in Kate''s car." Taylor led Lily out of the living room first, and after Kate Beckinsale got the car over, he picked up the little girl and got into the car, closing the door and facing the man in front of the villa. Ryan and Nicole waved, "See you tomorrow, I''m home."


    After leaving the group of people away, the two returned to the bedroom on the second floor of the villa. After a brief wash, Ryan sat in front of the computer at the desk and looked through the latest emails, suddenly remembering the adaptation of the novel that Nicole had mentioned.


    "My dear, which movie rights did you buy for the novel?" He turned to look at Nicole who was arranging his hair.


    "A classic image in English children''s literature." Nicole blinked at him and continued to work in his hands. "You can guess, there will be rewards for correct guessing."


    "Always have a hint." Ryan simply left the desk, walked over to Nicole, and sat on the fabric sofa.


    "The author is Michael Bond." Nicole shrugged and said some suggestive words, "The name is related to the station."


    "If you guessed it right..." She looked between Ryan''s legs and slowly licked her pink lips with her tongue.


    The reward was really tempting. Ryan''s head immediately began to spin at a high speed, and the classic characters in English literature jumped out of his mouth.


    "Eleanor?"


    Nicole laughed and said nothing.


    "Eileen Adler?"


    Nicole shook her head.


    "Sherlock Holmes? Romeo? Jane Austen?"


    Seeing Nicole still shook his head, Ryan couldn''t help but peeked over and pulled her over. When Nicole sat on his lap, he deliberately squeezed the bust part through the pajamas, "Frankly explain, what the **** is it? ?"


    "If you can''t guess it, you started playing rogues like Alison?" Nicole threw his hand back, moved a little buttocks, pinpointed the position, and pressed it twice. After feeling the changes underneath, Cai Gege said with a smile, "Idiot Ryan, give me another hint, a bear."


    Bear? Is it a teddy bear?


    When thinking like this, Ryan''s hand fell on Nicole''s chest again, and he flexibly got in from the opening of the pajama room, gently kneading the place he couldn''t put it down.


    "Is it a teddy bear?" he asked again.


    "My dear, Teddy is a toy, not an image born of English literature!" Nicole''s blue eyes deliberately revealed a contemptuous color. Seeing Ryan couldn''t guess it, he said helplessly, "It''s Paddington. "


    "That bear from Peru?" Ryan quickly remembered this fellow with the same big name, "How did I forget it!"


    Nicole rolled her eyes, and slowly touched her hand into the pajamas under her body, "I bought the film rights to it and plan to co-produce it with Harvey."


    "Comedy?" Ryan''s hands were also not idle.


    "Ok¡­¡­"


    Feeling the hand that fell on the sensitive part, Nicole straightened her waist, and after making a long nasal sound, she continued on the topic just now, "It must be a comedy. I will be the producer and star in the big movie. The villain, the screenwriters are adapting the script..."


    "Your hand..." She suddenly looked back at Ryan.


    "What''s wrong with my hand?" Ryan asked deliberately.


    "Hurry... Hurry up."


    The pair of light blue eyes were narrow and long, and clearly felt the accelerating frequency below, "Yes, that''s it!"


    "Where is that bear?" Ryan asked while keeping the speed of his fingers, "Cg production? Or looking for special actors?"


    "Motion...capture." Nicole''s breathing was visibly fast, and her hands hugged him hard, "I''m looking for a suitable actor."


    After speaking, she fell on Ryan, her body trembling uncontrollably...


    Although I don¡¯t remember this movie, the adaptation of classic literary images has always been a masterpiece of Hollywood. Nicole and Harvey Weinstein also have sufficient knowledge of the movie market. In Ryan¡¯s view, perhaps this kind of comedy is not It will be well received by professionals, and it is not too difficult to attract an audience.


    Through the bear that Nicole mentioned, he thought of another bear, the cheap bear that ruined his childhood, had no ethics, and liked swearing, but it didn¡¯t seem to be anxious. Later, when he saw the same cheap director, It''s not too late to figure it out.


    Time has gradually entered mid-July, and the six-week "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" has a box office of more than 300 million US dollars in North America ~ www.novelhall.com ~ global box office is close to 900 million US dollars, it can be called this summer Even the hottest movie this year.


    The "Pirates of the Caribbean" series filmed together with the trilogy also completed all the shots. After returning to Los Angeles from the Caribbean and Rosario areas, Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Wibinski took a short vacation. I led the relevant staff of the crew and invested in post-production.


    Ryan also went to see some of the filmed clips. Generally speaking, there is not much difference from the previous life, especially Captain Jack Sparrow, or the sissy, catwalking pirate image in his impression.


    It¡¯s difficult to say whether the first part of this series can catch up with this year¡¯s Christmas files, but Disney¡¯s publicity work has already gone ahead. Without a certain release date, it was announced that the film¡¯s premiere will be at Disneyland. Held in.


    "Pirates of the Caribbean" will be the first movie to have its premiere since the appearance of Disneyland.


    And this weekend, the entertainment focus of North America once again shifted to cartoons. After a year of silence, the latest animated feature film from Pixar Studios is about to be released. This will be Pixar''s first work after being merged into Disney! (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 590： Protests in Sydney

    "This will be another classic work by Pixar Studios!"


    The talking Jeff Katzenberg has already watched the preview. At this time, standing in the front hall of the Temple Theater, facing the high-levels of Pixar and Disney, it is inevitable that he has some emotions, "DreamWorks Animation Studios also Not bad, we will catch up soon."


    "Competition is more conducive to the development of this industry." Ed Kamel laughed.


    "Yes."


    When they got here, Ryan just heard what they said, and then said, "In recent years, the animation market has become more and more share. As long as the quality is guaranteed, it is not too difficult to profit from it."


    After speaking, he waved his hand, motioning to these people who came to say hello to you, you are welcome.


    In this era, it is impossible to monopolize any type of film market. How to make the film more attractive and how to further develop the market is the primary problem faced by major animation studios.


    Not to mention Pixar, DreamWorks and Blue Sky Studios, which are now gradually occupying the leading position in computer animation, other film companies have also established computer animation departments in order to get delicious cakes in this market.


    The most typical thing is that Warner''s animation studio has invested heavily in 3D and imax technology, and "Polar Express" produced by Tom Hanks and Robert Zemikis. After chatting for a few words, the creative staff who took the photo outside walked into the hall, and Ryan followed the crowd towards the projection hall, but was pulled from behind halfway through the corner.


    "Kristen?" When I looked back, it was Kristen Stewart, who was dubbing Nemo.


    The girl took two quick steps, walked side by side with Ryan, and asked. "Where is Alison? Didn''t she come?"


    "I went to New York with her parents." Ryan asked curiously. "She didn''t inform your mother?"


    "Probably forgot." Kristen Stewart stroked the longer and longer hair, "I will ask her to settle the account when she comes back."


    "Well, you can throw her into the sea with Scarlett." Ryan had a bad idea.


    "Oh, Ryan..." Kristen Stewart winked his eyes on purpose. "Alison will be sad when you say that."


    "Who is sad?" Then a woman walked quickly. Familiarly took the tomboy''s hand and greeted here, "Hello. Ryan."


    "Hello, Ellen." Ryan nodded to her, recognizing that this was Ellen DeGeneres who was the voice of Dolly. "I heard you are preparing your own talk show?"


    "Is such that."


    After approaching the front seat, Alan DeGeneres simply changed seats with the tomboy. Sitting next to Ryan, continuing the topic just now, "I''m still looking for a partner." "You can get in touch with the TV station."


    The other party is one of several well-known talk show hosts that Ryan Limited remembers, and this is also due to the Oscar in the previous life, "I think they should need an excellent evening talk show."


    "Thank you, Ryan." Alan DeGeneres understood that this was a very good opportunity. "I will notify the producer as soon as I go back."


    "Looking for Nemo". This Pixar animated film, which was dubbed "Finding Nemo" in the previous life by China Film on the other side, slowly kicked off the curtain.


    The plot and content of the film are in a typical Pixar style, using a child-like perspective to tell themes that even adults can''t ignore. There is always tears in the laugh...


    The plot of the story is not complicated, but it shows the most advanced computer animation technology today.


    Someone once thought that the effect of burning flames could not be virtual, and water flow was considered to be a more difficult technique than fire. However, the facts have proved the omnipotence of high-tech software. Pixar used flowing water in "Finding Nemo" to create an ocean world that is difficult to surpass in the short term.


    Of course, the ocean this time is definitely not the clear and transparent water like air in "Daughter of the Sea". They have created a very natural image of the seabed.


    The lights and colors appearing in the cartoon are a bit richer than the colors in the actual ocean. The bottom of the sea is usually dim and deep. The sunlight cannot reach the bottom of the sea through the sea. The objects on the bottom of the sea will show different colors with the distance, but The sea water in the movie always maintains a saturated color. Although a little unreal, the effect is amazing.


    For those who know computer animation technology at the scene, the most shocking thing is the group of jellyfish, their appearance has taken a big step in the animation of marine life!


    The characters involved in the film are not just a variety of marine creatures, but may have borrowed some methods from the Marvel movie. In the background of "Finding Nemo", many other Pixar animated characters appeared.


    These are basically concentrated in the dentist''s office, the intersection of marine life and humans.


    In one scene, a car is driving past the entrance of the clinic. This car does not exist in reality, but is a role in the newly finalized "Cars."


    And on the floor in the clinic, you can clearly see Buzz Lightyear¡¯s dolls. The manga that the waiting boy reads is "The Superman Family", and Pixar Studios is obviously advertising for the soon-to-be-produced "Superman Family"...


    As for the shape of the dental clinic, it is even more interesting. It is an animated version of a dental clinic on the street behind Jenkins Pictures.


    However, even if a few other elements are added to the film, it still has a strong Pixar style, and for such an animated film, the happy ending is a must, although tacky.


    If this type of movie chooses a tragic ending, it will inevitably become a market tragedy.


    "I remember when I was a kid, I saw a picture of two clownfish in the water peeking out of an anemone. It was really interesting."


    When leaving the theater, Ryan was stopped by a reporter from Disney Television. The other party asked about the origin of the story in "Ryan Tales". When he saw that it was his own media, he also said a few words. Quandang promoted the movie, "At the time I had no idea what kind of fish they were, but I just couldn''t make my eyes look away from them.


    He pointed to the huge poster behind him, "And they are called''clownfish''. This fact can just decorate the characters, making everyone think that the clownfish is a very funny fish-very perfect. Of course, today''s movie It also proves that there is hardly anything else in the world that can be more attractive than those fish who want to play peekaboo with you."


    The response of the film also proved Ryan''s point of view. Pixar''s original work and adaptation of Ryan Jenkins became the perfect signature, attracting a large number of audiences into the theater.


    Soon after the premiere, a large number of comments from ordinary viewers appeared on the Internet.


    "Pixar Studios has the best story so far, the best special effects, the best graphics, the best songs, the best characters, and the most moving animated movie!"


    "There is no trace of the foreshadowing of the story, and the plot is coherent in one go. The pictures and music are all swaying with ocean-like warmth."


    "Interesting dialogue, fresh stories, exquisite pictures, a single-parent family, a cautious father, a child in the rebellious period, an adventure to find relatives in thousands of miles, a happy ending that is sublimated together, although Ryan made up The story is always a pattern, but the return can poke our hearts."


    Some viewers who expressed their opinions, probably became fathers or mothers, were even more impressed by the movie.


    "What is family viewing? This movie perfectly interprets this point. It is a very inspirational movie. I believe my children will be useful for life when they watch it."...


    There are obviously comments from insiders.


    "Not to mention the touching father-son friendship, the inspirational and moving road to freedom, the adventurous customs, and the funny and humorous bridges, just watch the performances of various underwater animals in different forms, and the flow of water. The beautiful scenery is as real as it is, and Pixar''s powerful technology is worthy of our admiration. If I can go back ten years ago, I will definitely grab the Pixar studio before Ryan!


    Of course, this kind of comment will definitely attract a large number of criticisms of crooked buildings, but this animated film, which is a fish road movie in a sense, does please the teenagers and their parents.


    Ann Hornadi from the "Washington Post" is undoubtedly a supporter of this view, except for her-the greatest joy of watching this work is that not only small audiences, but large audiences who come with them will also gain ¡ª¡ª outside of the comments directly gave the movie a perfect score of 10.


    Roger Albert, who is at the top of the industry, also gave a rating of ten or four stars. ""Looking for Nemo" is one of the few movies that I have seen that makes me want to sit in the front row. First, the facts have proved that the creativity of Ryan Jenkins and the production of Pixar Studios are basically synonymous with high-quality animation movies."


    And Joe Mogenstern from The Wall Street Journal also expressed a similar view, ¡°This is a genius work full of visual appeal, plus Ryan¡¯s past ¡°Toy Story¡± and the adaptation of ¡°Monster "Shrek", the best computer animation film has a direct connection with him, Ryan should really teach those screenwriters who lack action, fun and novelty a good lesson!"


    Of course, it¡¯s not that no one has criticized. For example, David Denby of "The New Yorker" shot directly, "The colors are very bright. As for the others, the colors are very bright. The story is not bad, but there is nothing outstanding. , Everything feels very mediocre, typical Ryan-style works that are accustomed to routines, there is no new idea, there are many problems in the script, and nothing can really move people."


    As the story in the film took place in the Great Barrier Reef and Sydney, Australia also became the first region to be screened. However, after the film was released, it attracted protests from Sydney. ()

 Chapter 591： There is one kind of love called letting go

    The movie specifically mentions the sentence "All pipes lead to the sea", and Nemo did indeed swim from the drain pipe of the mouthwash basin in the dentist''s office to the sea.


    In fact, domestic wastewater in most areas needs to go through a series of mechanical treatment procedures before it flows to the sea.


    Therefore, this drew resentment from environmental companies that specialize in wastewater treatment in the Sydney area. On the second day after the film was released in Australia, they used the media to protest, claiming that the film seriously ignored the reality of the Sydney underground pipe network and satirized the film. The name should be changed from the original "Find Nemo" to the more practical "Smash Nemo".


    However, some media defended the film. In Sydney, there are still many sewer systems that only drain the waste water to the deep-sea water pipes after some subtle pumping treatments. The actual waste water treatment of environmental companies is not what they claim. Be careful, otherwise there will not be so much domestic wastewater pollution in Sydney''s offshore waters.


    A hot movie can always be brought into reality by the public or the media. I have to say that this is the charm and influence of the movie.


    To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a disguised publicity for the film in Australia. After the news reached North America, Pixar Studios responded immediately.


    "When we were making the film, there was a section of the scene describing that Nemo was sent to the sewage treatment plant to undergo a mechanical treatment before being washed into the sea. Although this section was cut out in the end, everyone should be able to watch it. In the version released by the theater, there is still a section of the film that emphasizes the logo of the''Sydney Sewage Treatment Plant'', which implies that Nemo did go through certain treatment procedures before successfully returning to the sea."


    The film¡¯s producer and director Andrew Stanton specially accepted a joint interview with North American and Australian media, ¡°In addition, regarding the deleted sewage treatment plant footage, we will put it in the DVD version for later release. You can pay more attention to it. ."


    Hollywood filmmakers will never lack a boo head to attract the audience to pay.


    Some viewers who like to get to the bottom of it pay to enter the theater again. Let''s see if there is a sign that I have overlooked; more animation film lovers have more expectations for the DVD version to be released in the future.


    Although there are enough boos in the movie, Ryan doesn''t mind adding more. He specially appeared on Antonia Kidman''s talk show.


    Annie and Nicole have a very good relationship in this life. To a certain extent, Ryan is also to help her start a career as soon as possible.


    "This is a story of father and son, but also a story of growth, a story of love and bravery."


    The two were sitting on the single sofa. Ryan faced the question asked by Antonia Kidman, and talked eloquently, "About family, friendship, and growth, these are all things I have seriously considered. ."


    "Can you describe this story in one sentence?" Antonia Kidman asked timely.


    "Many times. Love requires letting go." Ryan immediately thought of a more suitable word, "There is a kind of love called letting go."


    Education in North America is the same as on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Many times it is self-entangled. The audience who come to the show tonight are mostly parents with children. Hearing Ryan''s words, he couldn''t help showing his thinking.


    Antonia Kidman turned the topic back to the movie, "For this movie, Pixar delayed the production of the "Toy Story" sequel. Will it restart "Toy Story" later? Or "Finding Nemo" "The sequel?"


    "Toy Story will definitely have the next episode." Ryan laughed, "But it will take a while. As for


    The sequel to "Looking for Nemo". In fact, I already have some ideas, but Pixar currently has insufficient manpower to start it temporarily. "


    "Is it convenient to reveal the general content?"


    "About Dolly''s story, I have thought about the name of the film..." Ryan looked at the audience, saw the look they were expecting, and did not sell it off. "It''s called "Looking for Dolly"."


    "It sounds very exciting."


    The audience cooperated with laughter and applause.


    Ryan is not talking about it, but has a real idea for a sequel. However, the Pixar team is currently busy and it will definitely not be able to open it in a short time.


    Annie is a real person, and the topic has always been around Pixar, the hottest recently. "It is said that the production of another animated film by Pixar has come to an end, and a new project has also started. I believe everyone is paying attention to these news. Can you elaborate on it?"


    "In fact, they all appeared in "Finding Nemo"."


    Hearing the comments from the audience below, Ryan deliberately patted the palm of his hand and attracted everyone¡¯s attention. The title of the Pixar animation."


    "The Superman Family" will not be released until next year. The publicity plan is just beginning to use "Finding Nemo". Ryan and Ed Kamel have reached an agreement long ago. When one of them was interviewed, he revealed This news is definitely more interesting for the audience to find for themselves, and it will leave a deeper impression on the public.


    Of course, the box office brought by repeated viewing will naturally increase.


    In short, both Ryan and Disney have mobilized sufficient resources to promote this animated feature film and attract more audiences to the theater.


    For a group company like Disney that started with animation, successful animated films are more important than successful live-action films.


    Moreover, out of the total investment of 150 million U.S. dollars in the film, promotional expenses accounted for 60 million U.S. dollars.


    After the show was broadcast, the response from North American audiences was particularly strong. After several years of hard work and development, Pixar Studios has become a leader in computer animation and has a large number of supporters.


    Among them, someone soon discovered the cartoon of the little boy in the clinic, and also saw the name of the "Superman Family" above. After the news spread on the Internet, Pixar also responded. "Finding Nemo" was hot enough to use With this craze, it is enough to warm up "The Superman Family".


    In recent years, computer animation has made great progress. "Toy Story", "Monster Electric Company", "Ice Age", "Shrek", etc., not only took hundreds of millions of box offices from the world, but also sold Peripheral products whose profits far exceed the box office.


    Hollywood is a major producer of cartoons, and where is the other major producer? Many people think of Japan.


    The Japanese also want to make enough profits from this craze. They spent huge sums of money and used a production cost of 140 million U.S. dollars to make "Final Fantasy", which is known as one of Japan''s national games, into a 3D animation movie.


    The production of this animated feature film has been delayed again and again. The huge production cost plus the promotional expenses almost worth the production cost have almost dragged down the investment game company. After several years of twists and turns, Sony Columbia Under the tremendous pressure of the film industry to release it as soon as possible, it also put "Final Fantasy" in July.


    However, they know what level of counterpart Pixar is, and they specifically chose to release "Finding Nemo" a week before they want to seize the opportunity to grab the North American animation studio market with gorgeous graphics.


    The Japanese have always been very confident in their animations, and now it is an era when 3D computer animation is booming. According to the producer Square''s estimates, "Final Fantasy" will definitely become a box office bomb.


    Before "Looking for Nemo" was released, Pixar was a little worried inside, but Ryan didn''t care at all. Although I don''t remember that there was such a movie in the previous life, how many movies based on the game can be successful? And even if it is successful, there is no type that can sell well.


    Besides, this is North America, and the so-called national games are not recognized here.


    The box office bomb of "Final Fantasy" did explode, but it was myself who died.


    In the first week, 2,683 theater chains, with a total of US$7.62 million in the North American box office, directly caused the publisher Sony Columbia Pictures to vomit blood. By the second week, "Final Fantasy" faced the impact of "Looking for Nemo", and the two sides competed head-on. , Showing that it is not an opponent at one or two levels at all.


    Walt Disney''s resources in North America are far beyond what Sony Entertainment can compare. In the first week, it won 3,855 theaters for "Finding Nemo" and earned US$85.25 million in North America. It was on the box office list without any suspense. The throne of champions.


    And "Final Fantasy" on the basis of maintaining 2,683 theaters, only got 2.17 million US dollars in the second week.


    Perhaps Japan can compete with Hollywood on TV animation, but on the big screen, it is not a rival of the same magnitude at all.


    In the second week, the box office of "Looking for Nemo" dropped to 65.22 million US dollars, while "Final Fantasy" because of the poor performance in the first two weeks, the theater line quickly dropped to 1,780, and the North American box office was only a pitiful 1.32 million. US dollars.


    Sony Columbia has stopped advertising for "Final Fantasy" because they realized that the box office of this movie might not even be able to make back the promotional fees they paid...


    In addition to the North American market, "Looking for Nemo" is also hot in Australia, where all the scenes in the film are in Australia. The film made $12.8 million in the first week. In only two weeks, Australia''s total box office More than 20 million U.S. dollars.


    For the sparsely populated Australian market, this is a very scary figure.


    In another market that was released during the same period, the box office of the Kingdom of Great Britain reached US$17.8 million in the first week, and the combined box office of the two weeks successfully exceeded US$25 million.


    Subsequently, under the operation of Disney branches, the movies were released in the most important overseas regions. The boom in North America has also driven these markets, especially Japan, which is heavily influenced by animation, which has the best box office performance, approaching $17 million in the first week. The number of "Final Fantasy", a Japanese national series that has not been released here, feels tremendous pressure.


    In addition, the popularity of this movie has formed a certain social impact in many ways. ()

 Chapter 592： Questions about the new script

    Although it is mentioned in "Finding Nemo" that the clownfish is a saltwater fish, and the cleaning and maintenance of the saltwater aquarium is troublesome and expensive, it is still popular in the United States after its release due to its high popularity. There is a boom in the purchase of pet clown fish, and many pet shops have placed this fish in the most prominent position of the store.


    In cities with large populations such as New York and Los Angeles, clownfish are sold out of stock.


    Faced with the sudden rise of clownfish farming among teenagers and the consequent shortage of supplies, pet shop owners in North America have seen huge business opportunities. They tried their best to contact fishmongers in the South Pacific to help them get better. Sufficient profits were made in the boom.


    In North America, the price of pet clownfish has directly increased three to five times.


    High profits naturally urge people''s enthusiasm. In several areas near Australia, schools of clown fish have been caught and sold in large numbers for the pet demand brought about by this movie.


    Fortunately, this is not about cherishing fish, otherwise there is a real possibility of extinction, but this has also attracted protests from many animal protection organizations. Some guys who love animals more than humans also ran to the Burbank Pixar studio. Sit in protest.


    However, even if their protests have never stopped, in the face of huge interests, businesses will only choose to ignore them.


    Ryan will certainly not let go of any opportunity to promote the movie. Disney''s follow-up promotional activities have never stopped. With the help of negative or positive news, "Finding Nemo" continues to advance in the animated film market. There is an ocean boom all over the world.


    In the following three weeks, the film received 45.3 million U.S. dollars, 35.6 million U.S. dollars and 19.72 million U.S. dollars in North America. In just over a month, the North American box office totaled more than 250 million U.S. dollars!


    At the same time, the global box office totaled close to 500 million U.S. dollars, and regions such as South America, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Eastern Europe have just begun to show. There is still huge potential for box office to be tapped.


    Like New Zealand during the time of "The Lord of the Rings", the worldwide popularity of "Finding Nemo" has driven Australia''s tourism industry.


    Over the course of more than a month, the tourism income of the east coast of Australia has increased by 155% over the same period. Most tourists visiting Australia want to go to the east coast of Australia to scuba dive, to find Nemo. ''.


    In addition, through Nicole¡¯s relationship, the Australian Tourism Commission quickly reached an agreement with Disney to buy out the travel use copyright of "Looking for Nemo" at a high price. In the next few months, it will promote tourism and tourism in China and the United States. , Will use these clips to promote tourism in Australia.


    These news were quickly learned by the media, and they are also willing to hype such news to attract attention. A famous travel magazine also wrote about it in the report.


    "Are the scenic but not well-known tourist areas still worrying about the lack of tourists? Go to Ryan Jenkins, as long as he can conceive a movie related to it, these will not be a problem!"


    Although these hype is a bit exaggerated, "Finding Nemo" has indeed driven Australia''s tourism industry.


    In addition to the film¡¯s praise of Pixar Studios, many media also focused on Ryan, such as the "Hollywood Report."


    "Think about the reason why Ryan is great, in addition to the establishment of the prestigious Jenkins Pictures and the creation of the youngest Oscar actor legend, there is also his foresighted purchase of Pixar Studios, and together with them became a 3D computer animation The pioneer, Ryan¡¯s unique and discerning personal charm like a prophet makes people sigh! His one-handedly promoted "Toy Story" and other animation films created a precedent for 3d animation. Since then, this 3d whirlwind has swept the world, all ages, and captures. The hearts of thousands of children''s parents and animation fans!"


    Compared to the warm summer vacation atmosphere, during the period after "Finding Nemo" was released, Ryan almost buried himself in the data pile in addition to dating and handling necessary work.


    Disney¡¯s authorization negotiations with the Central Intelligence Agency came to a final result. The other party agreed to adapt the Iranian hostage rescue incident to a movie, but the movie must accept their relevant suggestions.


    Ryan happily agreed. After all, this is almost the most classic case. It is also a masterpiece of Hollywood and the CIA. The most important thing is that the other party will not only send professional consultants throughout the filming process, but also not Charge any fees including the right of adaptation.


    You must know that the 9-11 incident made the CIA become a media discussion resource. For some time, the CIA has been frequently attacked in the United States, and the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security has weakened their position.


    The CIA urgently needs to reshape its image in the eyes of the public. In their opinion, it is definitely a wise choice to cooperate with Ryan on the film.


    This is the fact, at least on the surface, it is completely positive in this case.


    After the cooperation agreement was reached, a large number of declassified materials were escorted from the headquarters of the CIA in Virginia to the Disney headquarters in Burbank. Antonio Mendez, who personally participated in the formulation and implementation of the plan that year, was escorted to the Disney headquarters in Burbank. It was also received by Ryan, and the first draft of his memoir was also handed over to Ryan.


    In the past month, in addition to leading several important members of the screenwriting team to consult these materials, Ryan also talked to Antonio Mendez no less than 20 times. After all, he was going to play the nameless or otherwise. Legendary heroes will also be staged in the most incredible rescue operation-disguised as a Hollywood film crew, went to Iran to rescue the trapped Americans, and finally succeeded.


    And the name of this movie was named after the name of the script bought at the time-"Argo"!


    Movies are not reality, and neither Antonio Mendez understands this, and some changes and processing are also necessary.


    The current Iran is undoubtedly one of the hostile countries of the United States, which determines the most basic position of the film. On this position, using some sympathetic or relatively fair perspective to treat this incident can also highlight The tolerance of a big country.


    As for the opinions of the Iranians, who cares about them, it is basically impossible for Hollywood movies to enter that market anyway.


    And the movie must meet the tastes of North American audiences and Hollywood. In this case, Antonio Mendez, as the protagonist, must become a lone hero living in the secret front, especially after entering Iran, he must highlight this point, personal heroism. It will never be out of date in North America and even in movies around the world.


    In addition, there are also a few pig teammates, who always make trouble at critical moments, um...It seems that there is no more suitable target than the staff around the president, right?


    The plot also cannot be as plain and unsurprising as the information reflected, it must be tense and exciting enough to escape from the evil armed men at the very moment of breaking out.


    You can also add some Hollywood-style self-deprecation. These are also plots that audiences love to see.


    Of course, the theme of the film must be clear, and the most basic political correctness must be maintained.


    It took about two weeks for Ryan to determine the theme and ideas of the movie, and sorted out the outline of the script. Although some simple scenes were handed over to other screenwriters, he would complete most of the main content himself.


    The Jenkins Manor was extremely quiet at night, except for the footsteps of the security personnel who frequently patrolled, almost no other sounds were heard.


    On the brightly lit terrace, Ryan sat in a wicker chair. After occasionally thinking, his hands would fall on the laptop keyboard and type a line of text.


    Scene: Embassy visa hall.


    When the people waiting for the visa were at a loss, six Americans walked into the lobby. Their goal was the back door, where there were no Shia Iranians...


    At this point, Ryan paused, thought about it for about half a minute, and then revised it again.


    After the six Americans entered the lobby, the embassy assistant who knew Iranian language shouted to the Iranians who were waiting for the visa, "Evacuate the embassy building, immediately evacuate the embassy building!"


    Another person helped to maintain order while saying, "Let the Iranians go first."


    He pointed to the passage of the back door, "Hurry up and get out of here now!"


    Scenario change: The Iranians were in front and the Americans were behind, and fled the embassy through the back door.


    This kind of movie, which is deeply involved in politics, can show Great Americanism in some appropriate places. Consider it in a different way, that is, the big brother will definitely shelter the younger brother behind the ass.


    Looking at the time on the laptop screen, Ryan turned off the script of the script and thought about other issues.


    The most important thing is the director, the actors and the investment in props, etc., for him and Disney, it is not a problem at all. Choosing a suitable director is undoubtedly the focus of the next work.


    In the past week, Ryan has brought the script outline and some drafts of Antonio Mendez''s memoirs to try to contact several directors.


    For example, David Fincher, who is preparing for "Terror Space", which was postponed because of the directing of "Captain America", will take over this job is still unknown.


    There is also Martin Scorsese. The old Martin is really interested in this subject, but he has doubts about the cooperation with Ryan. It is not whether it can be successful, but he does not want to face such a strong actor and producer in the crew. .


    Then there is Stephen Soderbergh, but this is the last choice. Now Soderbergh''s filming style tends to be more experimental, and there is a clear distance from Ryan''s goal.


    Maybe Ben Affleck can try it?


    As soon as this idea came up, Ryan himself rejected it. In that case, it would be better to find Natalie directly.


    The people on his team have not only contacted these people. Anyway, the script has not been completed, and there is enough time to find a suitable director. Ryan is not too anxious, and the three main candidates have not explicitly refused until now. rs

 Chapter 593： Self-recommended director

    The Golden Gate Bridge, one of the most famous bridges in the world and one of the iconic buildings in the United States, a symbol of San Francisco, can be called the building that Hollywood movies are most willing to destroy alongside the White House and Manhattan.


    In the Golden Gate Bay not far from the Golden Gate Bridge, there is another famous existence in San Francisco. Perhaps few people would know the original name of Pelican Island, but when it comes to Alcatraz Island, I am afraid it exists all over the world. Heard.


    "X-Men 3" selected the most important drama in these two places.


    Today''s Alcatraz Island has long become a leisure area in San Francisco. Tourists who visit here have become an important source of income for the island, and the film or TV crews filmed here are another source of income.


    After arriving on the island, Ryan chose a high platform with a panoramic view of the shooting site and quietly observed the crew''s shooting.


    Now I¡¯m filming the scene of the big battle at the end. Fires and explosions appear from time to time. Although the momentum is strong, the scale is actually limited. Actors dressed in X-Men uniforms, extras dressed as American soldiers, and mutant brothers will be roaring into battle. A group, apart from enough chaos, actually doesn''t have much appreciation at all.


    The picture without post-processing is really horrible. After seeing the filming pause, Ryan looked back at the Golden Gate Bridge. The fog-shrouded bridge was indeed a very peculiar sight.


    "Aren''t you going to go down and take a look?"


    Charlize''s clear voice came from behind. When Ryan looked back, she nodded to the bodyguards guarding the periphery and walked to this slightly higher platform, "Oh, the scenery is really good."


    She also saw the orange Golden Gate Bridge sheltered in dense fog.


    "Don''t you need to shoot today?"


    Ryan looked at her. Charlize is wearing straight-leg pants, a tight-fitting T-shirt, and a pair of sunglasses, which is obviously not the way he is filming.


    The South African Diamond came to hold his hand and said with a smile, "My scenes are all in the afternoon, and now I mainly shoot Magneto vs. Men."


    Although it is night according to the movie''s setting, such scenes are often shot during the day. Then replace the background.


    The filming restarted soon, Ryan didn''t mean to come close, just led Charlize to observe the crew from a distance.


    This will be the last of the first trilogy of "X-Men". Ryan and Marvel reached an agreement long ago. After the movie is released, the series will be temporarily sealed and restarted in the next three to five years. Hugh Jackman, Harry Berry, Ian McLean, including Charlize, have long been different in Hollywood status and reputation, especially the salary of Hugh Jackman, which is directly close to 20 million. The dollar mark. The pay of all the crew almost overwhelmed the surprise budget.


    Even if the negotiations were repeatedly compressed, the remuneration of the actors and directors still accounted for 60% of the crew''s expenses, and it pushed the production cost of "X-Men: Last Stand" to a terrifying figure of 200 million US dollars.


    In this respect, this group of actors will be replaced, and then a group of youth idol groups will be used. It is a wiser choice to photograph the confusion of their youth.


    And the aspect of Ryan and surprise. I have already made plans to rely on the box office to not recover the cost. After all, there is still US$45 million in publicity expenses. The global box office of this movie is 500 million US dollars. We can only rely on various copyrights and peripheral products to achieve profitability.


    Then there is the director, because Brian Singer can only fully complete this series because he has already signed a astronomical breach of contract, before he can carry out his favorite "Superman" series.


    Yes, in addition to the "Wonder Woman", which is currently selecting actors, Warner restarted the "Superman" series, and the director of "Superman Returns" is set to be Brian Singh, but all of these will have to wait until he completes the "X War". P: It''s after "Lastly".


    "Too much work this year."


    This is already the third movie that Charlize has shot in a year. She looked at the fire on the set and shook Ryan''s hand and said, "After Jean Gray''s play is completed, I will take a long vacation."


    "Have you figured out where to go?" Ryan reached out and smoothed her long hair that was blown away by the sea breeze. Charlize simply rolled up her blond hair and tied it into a ponytail. "Not yet..."


    Her eyes hidden under the sunglasses glanced at Ryan, "Why don''t we go to Africa together?"


    "Your hometown?" Ryan took off the sunglasses that covered her pretty face, and kissed Charlize on the forehead. "As long as it''s not the Middle East, it can be anywhere."


    "It''s better to choose a place in North America." Charlize suddenly thought of the threat of terror. Although there are no signs of danger until now, it is best to be careful about some things. "Let me think about it again. This movie is a short time. It''s impossible to finish filming inside, and you can''t just stay by my side."


    Ryan could hear the small complaints in her tone, so she grabbed her shoulders, "If you want, we can go to Lanai for vacation together..."


    "Forget it."


    Before he was finished, Charlize shook his head, "I don''t want to ask for trouble."


    Even if they met in public, they would ignore each other, it would only be more embarrassing in private, and there might be conflicts, so it''s better to continue to do so.


    With a sigh, Ryan saw that the crew seemed to have entered a long rest state and walked over with Charlize.


    Most of the actors are acquaintances. After they saw Ryan, they came over to say hello, and Ryan responded one by one. In addition to limited enemies, his popularity in Hollywood is also famous.


    "Ryan..."


    When he reached the main camera position, Brian Singer in the director''s chair quickly stood up and shook hands with him, and said sincerely, "I''m very sorry, Ryan."


    "It''s okay." Ryan shook his hand, "We can wait for you to complete the "Superman" series, and continue to work together."


    The other party is a smart person and knows the need to have a good relationship with Ryan. Although he rejected the surprise plan on "The Golden Wolf", Ryan knew that "Superman" was almost unsolvable, and the other party was destined to rely on "x". The "Men" series will last a lifetime, and after the failure of "Superman Returns", he will naturally return to the Marvel banner obediently.


    After talking with Brian Singer a few words, Ryan took the initiative to leave. He came here to visit Charlize, and the others were responsible, and there was no need to directly intervene.


    But those actors didn''t think so. Except for their previous acquaintances, when Ryan and Charlize were sitting in the rest area, the newly promoted X-Men came over to say hello.


    For example, Catherine Isabel, this little naughty has an awkward position in the latter two films, and the development in recent years has not been very smooth. In the latest version of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", her performance was met by audiences and film critics. People''s unanimous criticism.


    "Ryan, I participated in the audition for "Wonder Woman."


    Ryan shook his head and said nothing when she said faintly when she left.


    If it was James Cameron who spoke, maybe he would call Warner, and let her alone. The surprising boss intervened in the casting of superhero movies. This kind of thing is too weird.


    However, Ryan also saw people who were quite interested. The actor who played the Phantom Cat was very familiar.


    "Do you know her?" Charlize handed over an ice cream and asked Ryan who was sitting next to him curiously, "She is from Canada like Kate."


    "It should be the first time I have seen you." Ryan opened the outer packaging of the ice cream, "I just feel a bit familiar."


    "Men look familiar to beautiful women." Charlize smiled with a curled mouth.


    Shaking his head, if Ryan doesn''t pick her up, given the current social environment, teenage pregnancy is not a very suitable subject, and he doesn''t plan to make that movie.


    After all, it''s too sensitive.


    After talking to Charlize for a few minutes, someone came over again. Kevin Fitch was wearing jeans and a baseball cap, not at all like the CEO of Surprise Pictures.


    After he sat down, he talked to Ryan about Marvel Pictures'' future filming plans.


    "The script for the ghost rider is being written." Kevin Fitch took the soda that Charlize handed over, said thank you, and continued to say to Ryan, "Nicholas Cage agreed to play the leading actor, he is now We have to wait until next year to shoot "National Treasure" by Touchstone Pictures."


    "Don''t worry." Ryan stuffed the ice cream to Charlize, ""X-Men" took up too much of our funds. Many overseas shares and copyright income of "Captain America" ??have not yet arrived. We have enough preparations. time."


    "Stan is still leading people to write the scripts for "The Hulk" and "Iron Man." At this point, Kevin Fitch smiled and shook his head. "He prefers Edward Norton as Bruce Banner. UU reads the book. www.uuk¨¢nshu.com"


    "Edward Norton?" Ryan frowned, and after thinking about it, said, "The Hulk is an important character in our entire series. With Edward Norton''s character, is he likely to play this role for a long time?"


    "I don''t think he is a suitable candidate."


    "Well, I will communicate this to Stan."


    Waving his hand to John behind him, Ryan motioned to him to take note of the incident and continued, "Kevin, you choose a suitable person from the second-line or third-line actors, and also, sign a long-term contract."


    For superhero movies, changing actors also means unnecessary risks. Unless the "X-Men" series is overthrown and restarted, it will not be good for the big plan.


    After spending nearly a day in Alcatraz, Ryan spent most of his time watching the shooting quietly. When Charlize''s scene was over, he was about to leave the island and return to San Francisco together.


    Before he got on the boat, someone rushed to the island, and someone came to look for him, a director who recommended himself! ()

 Chapter 594： Determine the director candidate

    Please remember the website of this site:;Please send to your QQ group"


    After seeing the smile on the corner of Ryan¡¯s mouth, he seemed to be more confident, ¡°We don¡¯t care what role the federal government played in the Iran incident. As long as the cause and effect are simply explained clearly, the film¡¯s perspective is on Antonio. ?Mr. Mendez, he is a hero! We just put the rescue incident on the screen with an artistic technique, in which the good guys and the bad guys, the enemy and the friends are quite distinct."


    "The film tells the story of the late 1970s and early 1980s. I think it is better to adopt the style of the 1970s film. Even the best photography has the feeling of that era. If you can find historical shots of the time, you can Cut in some appropriately."


    The index finger slowly clasped the table top. Ryan thought for a while and said, "Let''s do it, George. After the script is finished, I will let someone pass a copy to you, and then..."


    "I understand." George Clooney laughed.


    He knew that Ryan had included himself in the ranks of the official candidates, and he might even get the chance to lead the tube.


    Send away George Clooney. After a brief dinner, Ryan and Charlize returned to the South African Diamonds suite here.


    While taking a shower, Ryan considered the candidate who had just recommended himself. In addition to the lack of a rich director''s resume, his views are indeed very suitable for "Argo". If David Fincher and others do not respond by then, it may not be an option to use him.


    In his previous life, the other party also directed several outstanding works.


    Strictly speaking, the United States has not encountered successive attacks on the embassy. This movie is not the best time, and of course it is not bad. After all, it is a patriotic movie full of the main theme.


    "Hey, Charlie, why are you so fast."


    Soaking in the bathtub, when Ryan was thinking about these things, Charlize had already washed away the foam on her body, and she waved her hand, "Go ahead, it''s a little bit stuffy here, I''ll go out first."


    "It''s okay." Ryan raised his body and looked at the South African diamond wiping his body with concern. Charlize shook his head and said with a smile, "It''s okay, it''s just a little depressed."


    After speaking, she put on her pajamas, beckoned to Ryan, and walked out of the bathroom.


    After cleaning her hair a little, she walked to the balcony. After twisting the switch, the white light fell like snowflakes on the two high-backed wicker chairs. Charlize took a few books on fashion design and sat in them. On a chair, I looked at it attentively.


    Since the day she stood next to Ryan, Charlize has continued to enrich herself. She never wanted to simply make a vase, especially when there are other comparisons.


    Although he won the Oscar, Charlize also clearly said that when it comes to acting career, he is definitely not as good as Nicole Kidman, and another Natalie Portman is said to be a director, even the first. A director''s short film has come out.


    What about your own future? Although she has become a first-line actress in Hollywood, what about other careers? Can''t be completely compared to others, right?


    Although with Ryan''s character, even if she does nothing in the future, she will still live at ease.


    After the Oscar, Charlize thought of her own advantages. She used to be a model and has a unique experience in fashion. In recent years, she has gradually gained the reputation of the queen of the red carpet. Then why can''t she rely on her current fame and Rui With the media resources in your hands, how about creating your own fashion brand?


    Even Paris Hilton, who likes to fool around, owns her brand, and he is never worse than her, right?


    The other party is backed by the Hilton Group, but he also has Ryan''s support.


    From the first half of the year, she picked up her fashion career again in her spare time and asked professionals for advice.


    "What do you do, dear?"


    Knocked on the balcony door, Ryan walked behind Charlize, took the book in her hand, flipped through it, and returned it back, "Do you need me to hire some teachers from Europe?"


    "You are not familiar with the fashion industry." Charlize pulled him into the chair next to him. "When I need help, I won''t be polite."


    "There is no need to do this kind of thing yourself." Ryan sat on the chair crookedly, took Charlize''s hand, and gently squeezed the knuckles, "Hire a few outstanding designers, and then use your reputation to start a sign... ¡­"


    "I''m doing it as my future career, dear." Charlize looked at this side very seriously, Ryan took her hand and kissed, "Well, Charlie, you just do what you want. All right."


    This kind of thing only needs to provide support, and Ryan can roughly guess Charlize''s mind, the comparison between women can never be avoided, just let them be happy.


    Of course, he knows that this is Charlize''s future plan, and she will still focus on movies at this stage.


    "Do you think George Clooney is a suitable candidate?"


    Charlize put the book aside and asked about the people he had met before dinner, "I have seen the "Confessions of Dangerous Thoughts" directed by him. Except for some problems at the end, it is generally quite good. "


    "It depends." Ryan looked into the distance, and it seemed that he could still see the lights on the Golden Gate Bridge. "The script is not finished yet."


    So far, Ryan has only roughly written the beginning of the script. After returning from San Francisco to Los Angeles, his main energy has been on the script of "Argo", striving to complete it as soon as possible, and then pushing the project into the formal preparation stage.


    Shortly after his return, Martin Scorsese and Stephen Soderbergh responded. Both declined Ryan¡¯s invitation. The former was preparing "Aviator", while the latter thought the outline of the script was too prominent. Entertaining, not in line with your own style.


    Afterwards, based on more information, George Clooney came to his door several times and took the initiative to communicate with Ryan. Some of his opinions were recognized by Ryan to a considerable extent, and he gradually regarded this guy as the first candidate. .


    Entering September, Ryan finally made up his mind to confirm George Clooney as the director of "Argo" and let this guy fully participate in the preliminary preparations that have already begun.


    "These are all sent materials."


    In a file room in the heavily guarded Disney headquarters, Ryan pointed to a few large cardboard boxes for George Clooney, "They are all non-public information and cannot be taken out of this roomSo... ¡­"


    Ryan patted him on the shoulder, "George, this will be your office for some time to come."


    "What about the script?" This is the question that George Clooney is most concerned about.


    "You will receive the full version of the script soon." Ryan said as he walked outside, "You can contact Ms. Stewart for specific preparations."


    This movie can''t keep up with this year''s schedule anyway, and Ryan is not in a hurry. There is still more than a year to come. For such a small production, there is a lot of time.


    In the case of Ryan''s substantial self-salary cut, the production cost of "Argo" was only 35 million U.S. dollars. Fortunately, George Clooney is an absolute newcomer in the ranks of directors, and he has not cultivated those famous directors who spend a lot of money. habit.


    It seems that George Clooney''s acting skills are also good, so he can still play an important supporting role. Other actors should try their best to find actors who have been mixed for many years but have little reputation. Cost control is a must.

 Chapter 595： She still wants to be a bald girl?

    Walking into the Warner Studios in Burbank, Robert Downey Jr. took off his sunglasses carelessly. He didn''t care about the strange gaze around him or waited for the battery car to arrive. He walked happily towards the scheduled audition location.


    The agent behind saw this, and hurried to chase him a few steps, "Robert, can you be more serious? This is your best chance to return to the mainstream film industry."


    "Where do you see that I''m not serious?" Robert Downey Jr. turned his head and looked at the agent, still looking like that, "Ryan Jenkins''s movies, the mainstream can no longer be mainstream..."


    After speaking, he sighed. When he was very popular back then, Ryan Jenkins was just a kid, what about now? The position of the two is almost as far as Burbank to Sacramento.


    Although he is trying to get rid of drug addiction, Hollywood filmmakers still don''t wait to see him, and he is even fired from the TV crew for guest appearances.


    Well, he admitted that it was the result of a relapse of addiction.


    Since then, he has worked very **** detoxification, but it is difficult to get rid of the plummeting decline of his acting career.


    In the last three years, he has only shot a movie called "Ghost Man", which is still a small-cost genre. Up to now, he has almost forgotten what it feels like to be in a movie.


    Similarly, I am afraid that Hollywood is about to forget itself, right?


    Having not appeared in mainstream movies for so long, how many people still remember the talented Robert Downey Jr.?


    "Robert, this is a rare opportunity."


    As we walked all the way, the agent kept admonishing, "This character has many rivals with Ryan. This movie caused a sensation just after the preparations began. He is a legendary agent by the same legendary person. The production will definitely arouse enthusiastic attention from the media and the public. The most important thing is that Ryan¡¯s movie is basically synonymous with success. People who have seen the full version of the script say that this movie will definitely become an Oscar once it is completed. Popular."


    Although his character and living habits are enough assholes, he has experienced so many setbacks over the years. Robert Downey Jr. is not the same Robert Downey Jr. he was when he was young. He knew that if he could not get rid of the current bad state, his career as an actor. It will fall all the way, and life will fall into the deep valley.


    As the agent said, this is indeed a good opportunity. Ryan Jenkins is almost synonymous with success. How many people did his movie become popular?


    Robert Downey Jr. came from an acting family and has never seen him before. Who else in Hollywood can compare to Ryan Jenkins in film.


    Box office, money, awards, these other parties have never lacked, and the movies made are always successful, but they are so in line with mainstream tastes.


    Even he thought this was incredible, even a little admired.


    The agent is still talking, Robert Downey Jr. is still the same. I went to the studio where the crew of "Argo" auditioned.


    "rest assured!"


    Robert Downey Jr. patted **** the shoulder of the agent of the kk brokerage company, "Sam, I know it is not easy for you to win this audition opportunity for me, I will cherish it."


    Even for the father who came out to call in person. He will also work hard once.


    After a few years in a daze, Robert Downey Jr. understood one thing. He is nothing at all in Hollywood. No one in this circle is indispensable.


    Hmm... Ryan Jenkins may not be in this ranks. Thinking so. He walked into the studio.


    "Whose phone number?"


    In the car rushing to Burbank Airport, Nicole looked at Ryan, who hung up the phone, "Someone came forward to ask you for a role?"


    "Yeah~"


    Put the phone away. Ryan nodded and said briefly, "Old Robert Downey, on the phone for his son, Robert Downey Jr. will audition for the "Argo" crew today."


    "He got rid of his drug addiction?" Nicole asked curiously.


    "Who knows." Ryan himself doesn''t care much about this. The number of people who smoke cocaine in Hollywood is countless. "As long as he can control it, it doesn''t affect the normal operation of the crew."


    "So, you are very interested in him?" Nicole recalled, "I remember that not long after he came out of prison, you asked Pete to sign him."


    "Don''t you think his bohemianness is similar to Tony Stark?" Ryan didn''t mean to hide it either.


    "Oh..." Nicole rolled her eyes. "The drug-addicted Iron Man..."


    She shook her head.


    Hearing drug abuse, Ryan suddenly thought of the person in front of him who also had a bad record, "Nicole,?"


    "No, I''m not an addict."


    She shrugged and whispered in Ryan''s ear, "If we have time, we can try it together, oh... remember the last time we were together? It was the most wonderful time to enjoy, you Get excited..."


    "Do you need to try it now?" Ryan saw that there were dangers in his blue eyes. Nicole quickly stepped back and pointed out the car window, "Okay, the airport is here."


    "Don''t forget the gift Alison gave to Emma."


    After reminding Nicole, Ryan hugged her lightly, kissed her soft red lips, and put her out of the car until she watched Nicole and the assistant bodyguard disappear in the airport lobby, which made the driver restart. Black Rolls Royce.


    Nicole flew to Britain to prepare for "Paddington Bear", and he went directly to Warner Studios.


    However, Ryan came over late and did not see the old Robert Downey''s son. After the audition was over, the other party left directly.


    "how do you feel?"


    Sitting in the office set up by the crew, Ryan asked George Clooney on the opposite side, "Can you meet the requirements?"


    Regardless of the favor, if the other party''s audition fails to reach the standard, there is nothing to talk about in Hollywood.


    "There is no big problem with acting."


    George Clooney is obviously not worried about this, "If he gets out of the way..."


    Shaking his head, he also received a call from Robert Downey, but thought that the risk was a bit high. After all, it was a work he valued extremely, and even if it played well, it would not be a problem to go to the Oscars.


    "That''s it."


    While he was thinking, the assistant brought coffee, Ryan said thank you, and then made a decision, "George, if he can still meet the requirements for the audition later, we are like the crew of "Ghost Man". Sign a special contract with him."


    The investment in "Argo" is entirely from Disney. There is no private equity film fund or advance payment from overseas filmmakers. There is no need to introduce a completion insurance company, and there is no trouble with third-party guarantees. He doesn''t care about using it at all. Isn''t the problem actor.


    As for how to restrict Robert Downey Jr., the measures taken by the crew in the previous life were very effective.


    First withhold 40% of the other party''s salary to prevent him from taking drugs again, and then return it to him until the filming is completed. Similar measures will definitely become a necessary item in the contract.


    As for "Iron Man", the surprise project has just been approved, and the script, director, funding, etc. have not yet been settled, so there is no need to worry.


    And "Argo" is only in preparation, and there is still a long time before it starts. In addition to the actors, there is also an associate director who is leading people to select locations. Although a considerable part of the story takes place in Iran, let the crew go to Tehran. Framed unless Ryan is crazy.


    Although the terrorist has never appeared, he will not go to the Middle East stupidly.


    Regarding the script, Ryan and several other screenwriters have worked together to complete most of the main plots from his handwriting, and is still undergoing final review, which mainly refers to the CIA.


    In any case, the other party provided a lot of convenience in this project. In Ryan''s script, they are basically positive images.


    Regardless of the previous Iranian hostage incidents and what role the federal government played in it, the perspective of "Argo" has always been focused on this incredible rescue plan, and other aspects are almost completely taken care of.


    After chatting with George Clooney for a short time, Ryan''s cell phone rang again, and he waved to the other side and walked out of the office.


    "Hi, Nat."


    As he walked outside the studio, Ryan put the phone to his ear, and Natalie''s question came from inside, "Are you at Warner Studios?"


    "Yes." Ryan came here often recently, "Studio 78."


    "I''m here too, are you busy now?"


    After Ryan answered in the negative, the Long Island girl smiled and said, "Okay, I''ll go look for you."


    Standing at the entrance of the studio, Ryan waited for about five minutes. He saw a six-seater battery car in the direction of the gate to the studio. In addition to the driver, there were two Jewish girls sitting on it. One of them was Natalie.


    Just when the battery car stopped, Natalie jumped down, and then another girl with amazing long legs also jumped out of the battery car. This is no stranger.


    "This is Gail Gado." After the battery car left, Natalie gave a brief introduction heard her say you have seen it? "


    "Hello, Miss Gado...well, Gail."


    Shaking the hand that the other party stretched out, Ryan said to Natalie again, "I saw it at Arnold''s banquet two months ago."


    "It was introduced by Mr. Schwarzenegger."


    The Jewish girl is not very old, but she is a smart person. "After the party, I always wanted to treat guests, but unfortunately you are too busy, Nat, and Ryan."


    Probably from an Israeli relationship. Natalie treats this friend she met in Jerusalem quite close, but the entrance of the studio is not a good place to chat.


    "Why don''t you go in for a meeting?" Ryan asked Natalie, but she shook her head, "We are going to the Warner Bros. crew."


    "Oh?"


    I calculated the time silently in my mind, should it be early? Ryan''s eyes couldn''t help but fall on Natalie''s long hair. Does she still want to be a bald girl? (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 596： Spidermans first girlfriend

    Things were completely different from what Ryan had imagined. Natalie just came with her friends, and the person who was going to the crew was Gail Gado.


    The three said as they walked towards Studio 133.


    "Remember what I mentioned about the party?"


    Gail Gado has a cheerful personality, speaking of the purpose of coming here, "My agent won an audition opportunity for me, this time, but he temporarily left California for some reason. Here I only have a friend, Nat. , I had to find her to come with me."


    "Can you guess what movie it is?" Natalie held Ryan and laughed.


    "What movie?" Ryan couldn''t help but frown, recalling Warner Bros.''s recent investment.


    Calculated by time, it should not be the one where Nat became a bald girl. Although the copyright of "V" is a comic, when I saw the Wachowski brothers last time, I didn''t hear them mention the adaptation. thing.


    I heard that "Troy" and "Alexander the Great" are already on, so they must be excluded.


    In this case, there are not many answers left.


    ""Superman Returns"?" Ryan asked back, shook his head first. The director of this movie is still shooting "X-Men" for Marvel. "Won''t it be "Wonder Woman"?"


    "That''s right." Natalie finished whispering to her side Gal Gado, "but there is no reward."


    Ryan''s eyes couldn''t help passing over Natalie and falling on the Jewish **** the other side, who was too different from Princess Diana in the comics.


    The most typical is the chest. Although the opponent is not an airport, it is not much different. Although the two straight long legs are put on the Wonder Woman shirt, it will definitely attract countless audiences, but it is too slender...


    There are also arms. Judging from the movement of the upper arm up and down, there are basically no muscles.


    Hmm... The long black hair and the heroic spirit on the delicate face are some advantages.


    The issue is. Can audiences in North America really accept a Princess Diana who is not a big butt?


    Forget it, just an audition, she may not be able to get this role.


    Ryan shook his head, it was Warner''s choice, he didn''t bother to care about these things.


    "Ryan, why do you have time to come over?"


    As soon as he walked to the Warner Bros. studio, Ryan met an acquaintance. Grant Hill strode over, shook hands with him firmly, and said with a smile. "I''ve also made an idea, but it was preempted."


    "It''s you who are too slow." Ryan knew this was just a joke and asked casually, "Are you the producer of "Wonder Woman"?"


    "Yes."


    He nodded, greeted Natalie and Gal Gado, and made a please gesture, "Let''s talk inside."


    Although it is the boss of Disney, there are many cooperations between the two sides, and this kind of movie is not secret to people in the circle. Several people walked all the way through the studio that was setting up the scene, and walked into the temporary office area of ??the crew.


    Several actresses who auditioned were waiting here, Ryan also saw a few familiar faces, but didn''t say anything. Just walked into an office.


    Unexpectedly, the director is also an acquaintance, Tim Burton, the director of "Batman".


    After a few random greetings from both sides, the personality director went out to prepare for an audition. This is a tedious job. Although there are not many actors who come to audition, they are all candidates after the first round. It is likely to continue into the evening.


    "Thank you."


    Ryan took the coffee handed by the assistant and looked at this temporary office at will. Just behind Natalie and Gal Gado, there are several huge posters hanging, which seem to be the concept of Princess Diana. design diagram.


    Probably because he was very interested in seeing Ryan, Grant Hill briefly said, "We have made some changes to the original comic image, especially Princess Diana¡¯s battle dress, except for keeping her crown. , Bracelets and ropes, specially added this armor."


    The Wonder Woman in the conceptual design does not wear a star-strangled suit, but a battle armor and boots similar to the ancient Greek gods.


    "You are going to take the international route?" Ryan roughly understood Warner''s intentions.


    "The American imprint of Wonder Woman in the comics is too deep." Grant Hill sighed, "Now the profitability of overseas markets has surpassed that of North America."


    This can be regarded as an inevitable choice for the market. Ryan understands this. If it is not the right time, "Captain America" ??will probably not be much better than the previous life.


    "Miss Gado, you can go to the audition..."


    A staff member knocked on the door and walked in. Gail Gado beckoned to several people and walked out generously.


    "Your friend?"


    When there were no outsiders, Grant Hill asked, "Well... I remember her performance in the first audition was excellent."


    "My friend." Natalie smiled at him.


    Ryan didn''t say much, even if he didn''t speak, just showing up here would give Natalie''s friend a lot of points.


    "Ryan, feel free to do it."


    Grant Hill looked at the time, Ryan nodded and made a gesture of inviting, and the other party then left the office, supposedly to conduct the audition.


    "They also invited me." Natalie said, holding the coffee cup.


    "Don''t you think this is very sexy?" Ryan pointed to the poster behind her that relied on cg design. "My dear, this is one of the three giants of justice."


    "Not interested in."


    Natalie didn''t mean to look back at all. Seeing Ryan was about to pick up the coffee cup, she quickly took it, "It''s cold."


    She got up and poured the cold coffee into the trash can, picked up the coffee pot on the table, and refilled Ryan. After handing it over, she continued the topic just now, "Didn¡¯t you prepare a series for me? , Why choose Warner''s works?"


    "Yeah, if you want, dear, I am surprised that there are a lot of superheroes for you to choose." Ryan sipped his coffee, "Nat, if you have time, find a bow and arrow coach."


    "Well, Pat is calling for me." She nodded vigorously.


    After the "Star Wars Prequel" trilogy, Natalie did not want to take on a commercial film, but this role was almost exclusively designed for her by Ryan, and it was not the kind of embellishment heroine. This series is completely revolving around She comes to build, she will be the absolute protagonist, and all other roles are supporting roles.


    To a certain extent, this is a female film with feminist elements, which is also what Natalie is more excited about.


    Since the publication of "The Hunger Games", with the help of Ryan''s name and the strong promotion of the publisher, it has been sought after by teenagers. Although it is far from the enthusiasm of "Harry Potter", it has successively won North American bestsellers. The throne of the ranking champion has become one of the most popular business novels in the past two years.


    Many studios have taken a fancy to this series of novels, which is only the beginning, but they can only stare at them helplessly. Everyone knows that Ryan has half the copyright of the novel and signed an agreement with Susan Collins. The copyright of the movie will not be transferred.


    However, this novel will not be adapted into a movie in the short term.


    At present, in addition to the several series that continue, Walt Disney and Twentieth Century Fox have put the film adaptation of "The Lion, Witch, and the Magic Wardrobe" on the agenda. Although this will still be a big production, Ryan specifically advises However, we must pay attention to cost control.


    The production cost of the film is not as scary as the previous 180 million U.S. dollars. The temporary budget is only 100 million U.S. dollars, and the two companies will follow-up as the situation requires.


    Similarly, Time Warner will not let go of the magic series. Its new line film industry has obtained the copyright of "Golden Compass" and is preparing to create a super magical epic series comparable to "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter."


    New Line Pictures was acquired by Warner as early as 1993, and it is still ambitious even without the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy in this world.


    The only thing that makes Ryan strange is that New Line Pictures chose Chris Weitz as the director for this magical series. Although the "American Pie" series he produced for Jenkins Pictures has received a good response, it is standard vulgar shit. Fart director...


    About an hour later, Gal Gadot returned to the office.


    "How was the audition?"


    When several people left the studio, Natalie asked concerned, "When will there be an accurate answer?"


    "next week."


    Gail Gado took Natalie''s arm and said with joy, "Excellent! The director and producer are very satisfied with me."


    She looked at Ryan, "Do you have time? I will treat you tonight!"


    After seeing Ryan nodding, Natalie said, "Well, where are you going to treat?"


    "North Hollywood has opened a new Mr. Zhou restaurant." Seeing Ryan stopped, Gail Gado quickly stopped and said in a low voice, "Let''s go there and eat Chinese food."


    Nodding, Natalie looked this way.


    Ryan met an acquaintance, and since the other party proactively stretched out his hand, he had to stop and say hello.


    "Dallas, are you here for the audition too?" The other party walked out of Warner''s studio.


    "No." Bryce Howard shook his head, "I came with my friend She was interviewing in the mirror, and I came out and walked by myself."


    She suddenly smiled, "Actually, I just participated in the audition for "Spider-Man" last month and got an important role."


    "Oh, which character?" Ryan asked with interest.


    "Gwen Stacey."


    Her cell phone rang and made an apologetic gesture. When Ryan nodded, she walked away and took the call.


    Ryan walked over to Natalie again and brought in an electric car. When the three of them sat in, they said, "That''s Lang Howard''s daughter."


    "Well, I''ve seen it before." Natalie looked at the sun moving to the west when passing by between several studios. "I remember she starred in "Apollo 13" and "How Greenwich Stole." Go Christmas"."


    "I''m about to star in Peter Parker''s first love girlfriend." Ryan said.


    "Gwen Stacey?" (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 597： Public enemy of hollywood

    This is a new branch of Mr. Zhou¡¯s restaurant in North Hollywood. In recent years, this restaurant has developed extremely fast. Its improved Chinese food, which is close to the style and taste of Western food, is very popular. The branch has gradually spread to major cities in North America. The branch located in Beverly Hills is frequented by Hollywood stars.


    After the North Hollywood branch opened, Hollywood celebrities living nearby have also become regular customers of this store.


    When she returned from Burbank, Natalie picked up Scarlett Johansson again, and Ryan and his party rushed to the restaurant. When they set off from Warner Studios, they had already booked a seat.


    This is the large partition on the second floor facing the window. The four people ordered different dishes according to their own tastes, and slowly tasted the black tea provided by the store.


    "Ryan, why didn''t you ask for authentic Chinese food?"


    Sitting next to Gail Gado, who was of the same age, Scarlett asked a little strangely, "I still remember when you first moved to Los Angeles, you had authentic Chinese food every time."


    "It''s good to change the taste occasionally." Ryan said thank you to Natalie who helped him add sugar, and then said, "Since westernized Chinese food is so popular, it means that its taste is more suitable for us, doesn''t it?"


    After so many years, he has adapted to Western eating habits both physically and psychologically.


    "Scarlet..." Ryan took the initiative to change the subject, "Drew and Sofia have confirmed the release time of "Lost in Tokyo" in North America?"


    "December." Scarlett put down the coffee cup, smoothed the drooping blond hair behind her head, and blinked her eyes playfully, "Ryan, didn''t you mean to help me win awards?"


    "Isn''t the best actress at the Cannes Film Festival satisfying you?" Natalie joked intentionally.


    "Wow, dear, are you jealous?" The two have a very good relationship, and don''t mind making these jokes, "I''m still waiting for you to win back a figurine of the best director in the future?"


    "Best Director?" Gail Gado apparently didn''t understand what was going on. Ryan waved his hand, "Nate is learning how to be a good director."


    The dishes ordered by the four were brought up one after another. After clinking the glasses together, the few people ate and chatted.


    "Scarlet..." Ryan thought for a while and said, "Remember to tell your mother and agent, "Lost in Tokyo" after the release of the public relations Golden Globe, Oscar..."


    He frowned, "Nominations at most."


    "Do you need me to thank you, Ryan?" Scarlett was not very polite.


    "It is enough to teach Alison less to bully people in the future." Ryan shook his head. I joked, "You two, don''t make too much trouble."


    Some time ago, the boy who was pursuing Taylor by Hollywood Records was tricked into the women¡¯s bathroom by these two guys. John Burns had a headache, so he had to call Ryan himself.


    "Okay." The blonde girl nodded, but her eyes kept turning around, just how much she heard. That only God knows.


    "When will Tyler release the record."


    Dinner is undoubtedly a woman¡¯s natural enemy. Natalie simply ate a little and put down the tableware. "I remember she wrote more than ten songs? The last time I went to watch her on Hollywood Records. Those songs were practiced very well. Excellent."


    "Wait for a while." Ryan saw Scarlett and Gail Gadoo put down the cutlery on the opposite side. After asking for advice, he beckoned to the waiter not far away and asked them to remove these. Porcelain plate. Several people continued to talk while drinking tea.


    "Wait for her to be older and more mature?" Such a playful remark. It must be from Scarlett Johansson, "Ryan, she is smarter than you think."


    Ryan knew more or less about what Scarlett had said. Taylor was a younger sister in front of him, Nicole and others, but in front of outsiders, she was a clever, precocious and musically talented girl.


    However, it is not a bad thing to release a record later, let alone the little girl herself is not in a hurry.


    Scarlett and Natalie usually have no scruples when talking to Ryan. Now that there is one more Gail Gado, the topic just revolves around the movie and occasionally talks about Hollywood gossip.


    "Ryan, have you heard?" Natalie mentioned the people who had interacted with Ryan, "David Ellison dropped out of USC Film School."


    "David Ellison?" Ryan was stunned for a moment before remembering who this was. "It''s normal to drop out. I heard Darren and them say that he is eager to enter Hollywood."


    "It''s not an rush to march, but it''s already started." Scarlett Johansson had apparently heard about the other party. "It is said that he took a checkbook and bought excellent scripts everywhere, especially for air combat."


    "There are even rumors in Hollywood that he will invest as long as there are planes in the movie." The corners of the blonde girl''s mouth almost twitched.


    "Nate, Scarlett, who are you talking about?" Gal Gado asked curiously.


    "David Ellison, a South Carolina drop-out student who claims to be more talented than Ryan in film." Scarlett Johansson answered first, but was not polite at all, "Of course, this is his crazy old man. Dad said... well, his dad is Larry Ellison, Oracle¡¯s boss."


    Natalie and Gail Gado laughed, Ryan also smiled and shook his head.


    Although the other party appeared in Hollywood, it was basically impossible to wave a check to pick up the bargain like in the previous life. Marvel Comics is in his own hands and will never accept investment from outside Hollywood¡¯s traditional forces. If Paramount encounters a crisis, it will It is not the opponent''s turn to take action.


    Even the "Terminator" series was sold to Twentieth Century Fox by him early.


    Or be obedient to the promising career of Hollywood Public Enemy! Ryan murmured in his heart.


    "I remember in the comics that Gwen Stacey was Spider-Man''s first girlfriend."


    Because Gail Gado just participated in the audition for "Wonder Woman", the topic gradually turned to the superhero movie. The Jewish girl was obviously curious about the setting of the "Spiderman" movie, "Why did the movie become Mary? Jane? ?"


    This kind of question was naturally asked by Ryan. He dunked the table and said, "Several reasons are combined."


    "Can you tell me?" Scarlett Johansson was also curious.


    "Okay." Ryan sighed and stretched out a finger. "First of all, when the amazing screenwriter adapted the comics, he borrowed from Jim... Well, just James Cameron''s draft script, right! Just you guys. The James Cameron who knows, he is a crazy Spider-Man fan, some of the movie settings and plots are derived from him, and in his script, the protagonists are Mary Jane and Peter Parker."


    Of course, there are some things he didn''t say. For example, the script of Truck Driver is very dark, Spider-Man is constantly searching for himself, and it is full of plots of Peter Parker and Mary Jane fighting wildly on the Brooklyn Bridge...


    He extended a second finger, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. In some ways, it is also to highlight this theme."


    Speaking of this, Ryan put his hands down, "Finally, after the completion of this trilogy, in a few years, we can restart Spider-Man, and the specific plot will follow the settings in the comics, Gwen History Daisy was his first girlfriend, and then died, giving Peter Parker more insights into the identity of a superhero."


    "I see." Scarlett Johansson winked at Natalie, "The last point is the most important. "Spider-Man" can be remade in the future and we can continue to make money."


    "What about Gwen Stacey in this series now?" Gail Gado seems to be very interested in this series. "There won''t be a love triangle, right?"


    "In the second part, only the bottom is simply exposed." Ryan put on a helpless expression, "As for the third part, I haven''t seen the script yet."


    Just like Ryan said, no one knows his children better than Surprise. As for the screenwriter, he will only give some general opinions. The specific work is still in charge of the Surprise''s screenwriting team.


    The four people chatted for a while, and after a few dozen minutes, Natalie looked at her watch and suggested, "It''s getting late, we should go back."


    After leaving Mr. Zhou¡¯s restaurant, Ryan asked John to call in a car to send Gail Gado back to the Sunset Hotel, while he drove Natalie and Scarlett back to the rich colony of North Hollywood. Girls are neighbors, so there is no need to send them one by one.


    Ryan drove the car directly into the villa, and when she got off the car, Natalie asked Scarlett, "Would you not come in for a while?"


    "Forget it today." The blonde girl looked at Ryan, who had just closed the door, and said with a smile, "Nat, I won''t bother you anymore. Tomorrow we will go to Malibu to ride a horse."


    "Well, that''s good." Natalie beckoned to her, "See you tomorrow, Scarlett."


    Sending away Scarlett Johansson, Ryan took Natalie back to Although her residence is not particularly large, there is no shortage of vestibules, gardens, and fountains, which are emitted by street lights. Shining, the two followed the granite road and came to the brightly lit villa.


    "Are you going tomorrow?" Natalie walked to the fountain and tested the temperature of the water.


    "What? Malibu?" Standing behind her, Ryan took the girl into his arms. "Go to Harvey''s clubhouse to ride a horse? I shouldn''t have time."


    "Isn''t the movie going to start after a while?" Natalie turned around, deliberately raised her wet hand, flicked it in front of Ryan, and said with a smile, "Whatever you want."


    "The wind is a bit cold." Ryan looked up at the dark sky, "Let''s go back to the room."


    In the following period of time, Ryan¡¯s main energy was still on the film "Argo". Most of the shots involving Tehran were basically shot in the studio. If there is really no way, they are in North America. I found a few Islamic communities to shoot.


    After the first draft of the script was delivered, the team that set up the scene separately rushed to Virginia and Istanbul. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 598： High-profile publicity

    As early as 1997, the then President Bill Clinton deleted the incident from the confidential files. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Central Intelligence Agency, it was completely declassified. Later, there were some related news in the media. The content has never been officially announced.


    After entering October, the "Los Angeles Times" published a report on the rescue incident that year on an important page.


    "The attack on the embassy can be said to have shaken the whole world. No one knows how to respond to the situation and current situation of the detained hostages, especially those who escaped and went into hiding. Their problems seem to require It¡¯s more subtle techniques, because it¡¯s impossible to rescue them through diplomatic channels."


    "Every day, their risk of being discovered increases by one point. In the end, the burden falls on the special agent Antonio Mendez who is responsible for fleeing the enemy camp. He will find a way to bring them back to the United States. This former legendary agent, and several friends in Hollywood, jointly established a production company called Studio Six. As a Canadian producer, he entered the crisis-ridden Tehran under the pretext of framing sci-fi movies... "


    Although there have been some news circulating before, the public is basically in an unknown state about this incident. After the report was released, Antonio Mendez became the focus of many media attention.


    This retired legendary agent enjoys the feeling of being a celebrity, and the CIA after 9/11 desperately needs an excellent spokesperson.


    Subsequently, under the joint instigation of the CIA and Walt Disney, Antonio Mendez entered the TV station and accepted an interview with Antonia Kidman on the "Annie Talk Show" program, sharing with the public the incredible things that year. experience.


    He said, "This is a rescue story that few people know about. It represents a relatively difficult period in history-people only know that six Americans escaped safely with the help of Canadians at that time, but It wasn¡¯t until this classified document was completely unblocked a few years ago that everyone realized that it turned out to be manipulating everything behind the scenes, and through an unusually bold plan to find a safe return home for six Americans. the road."


    "I was a good friend with a famous make-up artist in Hollywood, so I learned that the people who make movies travel around the world in this way, so that I can check and evaluate different locations and choose the right one for my film. The shooting location. This is obviously a very feasible idea and opportunity, so it is to save the compatriots trapped in Tehran. I think it is completely feasible to adopt such an escape plan that no one has thought of before."


    "This is a game without any rules. We have to take huge risks for it. The most uncertain part here is that we have to work with a large group of volatile Iranians and try to hide from them, and then Stay away from them-if we are unfortunately arrested, we can''t predict what will happen to ourselves, including those hostages. We are bound to be implicated."


    "I have never felt that there is anything unusual about connecting with Hollywood, because for agents like me, sometimes a plan is implemented. In fact, it is a wonderful drama. Fortunately, we It succeeded, although it seems a little weird."


    This interview is not just to create a legendary hero. It was also to promote the adaptation of the film, and the topic afterwards naturally turned to the film aspect. Antonio Mendez also talked about this aspect.


    "When the representatives of Ryan and Disney Pictures found me. My first reaction was...what? My deeds would be made into a movie? Or would the famous Ryan Jenkins produce it? Wouldn''t he want to appear in it? Me? It turned out to be better than I thought. Ryan not only had to play me in person, but also named the movie after the fake movie. Even the crew office was renamed No.6 studio¡­¡­"


    "The Sixth Studio is the film company that was established. Although it has only existed for a few weeks, it has received scripts from many people, some of whom are still major directors now..."


    After the program was broadcast, it caused a strong response from the public. The mainstream media in North America followed up on the secret rescue incident that year, and set off a wave of enthusiasm.


    At the same time, many senior people in Hollywood were also asked by reporters about the original situation of the Sixth Studio. Many of them still have relevant memories.


    Especially Steven Spielberg, facing the reporter¡¯s camera lens, not only said that he remembered that ¡°Vanity Fair¡± and ¡°Hollywood Report¡± had promoted ¡°Argo¡± and the company behind it, but also mentioned that he had once reported to the sixth system. The studio has delivered the script of the past.


    "Argo" has not yet officially launched, it has attracted the attention of countless people.


    As a typical cultural and entertainment product, movies require massive publicity. Ryan has never spared any effort in publicity, and those off-the-wall publicity methods may occasionally succeed, but they are destined to never become the mainstream of the market.


    Frequent in and out of Warner studios, Ryan will inevitably meet reporters, and he also accepted interviews.


    "In fact, for the past few years, I have been looking for a great story. Now, I know I have found it, so I did not hesitate to decide to put this event on the big screen."


    This is to promote his movie. Ryan didn¡¯t hesitate to say, ¡°After reading the draft of Mr. Mendez¡¯s memoir, I was really attracted by it, especially for Antonio Mendez. His interest-what I want to know is what kind of person he is, after making such a plan, and then implementing it."


    "If I were to complete this script with an original concept, I think everyone would say,''No one would believe that these things really happened.'' But Mr. Mendez succeeded in persuading the federal government to work together. What I tried was an imagination crazier than Hollywood itself."


    "I know that this incident sounds really absurd, even ridiculous, but it is also an indisputable fact-but I can understand this situation better, because all this sounds so untrue. There is no place to be trusted, it is too dreamy and incredible."


    Ryan naturally understands how to be welcomed by mainstream voices, "Behind these very heroic and bold acts is actually a legend full of humanity-even if these people are in a desperate situation without any hope, they are They won¡¯t just wait and see, they are still trying to do their best to reverse this disadvantage.¡±


    "This is also one of the most proud places in our country!"


    Of course, when the reporter asked the film director, Ryan did not forget to brag for George Clooney.


    "George Clooney has an amazing talent for grasping the story, especially his understanding of the working principle of the camera. It can be said to be a very extreme point... In addition, as a filmmaker, he The perspectives and viewpoints taken by the plan also have a strong sense of presence. I think this is the most important talent. He has his own style and cognition."


    Soon after his interview was reported by the media, George Clooney, as the director, used the same vigorous publicity in the interview.


    "That was what happened when I was eighteen years old. I still clearly remember the hostage incident, but it was not until I saw Ryan''s script outline and Mr. Mendez''s memoirs that I realized the truth behind the incident. It looks like this, I think all of this can definitely make a compelling movie story-I immediately feel that I have an obligation to make it reproduced in the form of images, and Ryan''s thinking is obviously the same as mine!"


    "Yes! Very honored! I am very happy to be able to work with such a great actor and producer as Ryan. This work is an enjoyment for me. I believe that "Argo" will become a movie based on facts. classic!"


    The news about Ryan and Ryan¡¯s movies has never lacked attention, and there is almost no need to do deliberate public relations. The major media will treat it as the headline of the entertainment version, and Disney¡¯s brand extends from the Internet to the TV station to the print media , And keep releasing some latest reports about the crew at the right time.


    In particular, the makeup videos of several main actors of the crew were released. Robert Downey Jr., who just got rid of the drug vortex, wore a large toad mirror and long beetle hair. Typical American costume in the 70s.


    The most interesting thing is Ryan. His style completely obeyed the advice of Antonio Mendez. His light brown hair was dyed dark brown, and he also had a thick beard...


    On the message board below the video, there were thousands of messages in just two days, and most people expressed their expectations for "Argo".


    "Playing a legendary hero by a legendary superstar is simply perfect, this is a role tailored for Ryan!"


    "The uncle that Captain America turned into in an instant, Ryan once again challenged the difficult role..."


    "This is a story that records history, and every past is worth remembering! Looking forward to reviewing this legendary past with Ryan!"


    In the vigorous publicity and the expectation of the media and the public, the "Argo" crew officially opened in front of the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel in mid-October, and actors including Ryan appeared in the first scene. , Has attracted countless reporters. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 599： Rescue is like abortion

    Under the three conjoined buildings of the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, many old-fashioned signs have been replaced. The shuttle vehicles belong to the luxury cars of the 1970s. People in costumes of all kinds of actors, from The main camera passed by and entered the lobby of the hotel in an endless stream. Worthy of your collection


    George Clooney kept looking at the old-fashioned Cadillac coming in the distance, and when the car stopped in front of the hotel, he whispered, "Close-up! Let''s take a close-up of Allen first, and then the camera keeps staring at Ryan!"


    When Ryan, wearing an old-fashioned suit, got out of the car, the main camera moved with him, and George Clooney stared at the camera screen intently.


    "Cut! The first shot has passed!" He let out a sigh when Ryan walked to the door.


    Although it is not the first time to be a director, and it has been a long time since he became a well-known actor, George Clooney still felt a certain amount of pressure while sitting in this position and being watched by countless people.


    In contrast to pressure, there is motivation. Those directors who have accepted Ryan''s invitation are now not the most famous role in Hollywood?


    Not to mention famous figures like James Cameron, Steven Soderbergh and Steven Spielberg, just Peter Jackson, before Ryan invited him to take charge of "The Lord of the Rings", let alone an outsider. How many people in Hollywood have heard of his name? What now? This guy has become a major director on the front line, and even has a chance to win this year''s Oscar.


    George Clooney also wants to take this movie, and take the opportunity of cooperating with Ryan, to take a big step forward in his career as a director.


    In his opinion, as long as he can play a normal level. It is not difficult to shine in such a script and subject matter.


    "How about, George?"


    Gently rubbing the uncomfortable fake beard, Ryan walked to the camera, "We only have two hours."


    Although the relationship with the Hilton Hotel has always been good, it is impossible for the other party to allow the crew to shoot for a long time. Two hours are already crowded and crowded.


    "no problem."


    George Clooney gave the thumbs up first. Pointing to the reporters who frantically pressed the camera on the periphery, he said to the assistant, "Find someone to tell them to be quiet, and also. Tell everyone. Go to the next scene."


    The next scene was also in the Hilton Hotel, but inside the hotel, the crew rented a banquet hall and set it up as a press conference scene.


    That is, through the sixth studio that year, to promote the fake film "Argo" to match the plot of the subsequent rescue operation. In these shots, Ryan is basically acting as a living prop. Basically no lines.


    He plays an agent who is engaged in secret rescue work. Unless necessary, this role doesn''t say much.


    Although it''s only the second time to take charge of the film guide, George Clooney is a veteran in the circle after all, and there are not many problems in controlling the crew.


    The filming scene is a press conference. In return, media such as "Vanity Fair" and "Los Angeles Times" that have been vigorously promoted before. One after another appeared in the camera or the actors'' lines.


    "Argo, a sci-fi movie, screenwriter Mary Ann Boyd. It is a spaceship that is landing..."


    As an investor in fake movies, Ryan just stood quietly and listened to the Hollywood script-reading press conference, "Exterior scene¡ªBazaar, an exotic place with a Middle Eastern atmosphere..."


    When shooting a movie, it is also very interesting to prepare a fake movie in a real way during the shooting process.


    The scenes in the Hilton Hotel were completed after only half a day of shooting. The first scene of the movie went on very smoothly, but these shots were not too difficult.


    In the banquet hall, the crew was busy packing up all kinds of equipment, while Ryan found Antonio Mendez, who came here specially. The retired agent had been sitting at the corner table, watching the filming seriously.


    "Tony..."


    Sitting across from him, Ryan asked seriously, "How do you feel?"


    "It''s much larger than the press conference we held back then." Antonio Mendez folded his chest and chin with the other. "If we can have your current shooting budget, the action will definitely be smoother."


    "This is a movie, Tony."


    Recently, Ryan has become familiar with the other party, "If you have time, I hope you can visit the crew often."


    "Most definitely."


    Antonio Mendez stood up, put on his jacket, waved his hand to this side, "That''s it for today, Ryan, I''ll go back first."


    "Okay, let me send you off." Ryan made a gesture to John behind him, and the other party immediately contacted the car and the driver.


    Like most Hollywood movies, "Argo" took the lead in filming a large number of scenes in the studio, and then moved to various locations. In addition, a small amount of previous documentary image data will be used.


    Compared with "Captain America" ??and "Vengeance of the Sith", Ryan puts more energy into this film. In addition to discussing the shooting plan with George Clooney at any time, sometimes he makes simple changes to the script. Even if I return home after shooting, I will often practice alone and try to adjust to the best condition as soon as possible.


    At the same time, because it is not too far away from the era, there are still many public audiovisual materials, which also brings a lot of convenience for the crew''s work such as setting.


    The first scene of the start-up was selected at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel in order to create a topic of hype for the media. From the second day, the crew returned to the Warner Studios in Burbank and began intense filming. journey of.


    "Our plan is to use bicycles."


    An elderly official stood at the conference table, talking about the general plan, "We have found a hidden road in the Seniran district..."


    Most people in the conference room were staring at him, but Ryan''s eyes were fluttering everywhere, obviously disagreeing with the plan.


    The other party pointed at the map and continued, "There are several trails that can pass through the mountains and reach the border near Tabriz. Due to roadblocks, cars are definitely not available..."


    Another official who presided over the meeting took the topic, "We will wait until the weather improves, and then deliver them six bicycles, along with a map to Turkey."


    Ryan''s eyes are always down, seeming to be thinking about the feasibility of the plan, and the person on the other side is still continuing, "Our intelligence says that they all ride bicycles, or we can send someone to teach them..."


    No one was talking around, obviously the following words are too unreliable.


    "Or you can provide them with spare tires."


    This kind of occasion is used to highlight the protagonist. After a moment of silence, Ryan or Tony Mendez finally spoke, "At the same time waiting for them with Gatorade at the border."


    "Tony..." someone reminded him next to him.


    "They are three hundred miles from the Turkish border!" He turned to the subject, "Most of them are mountain roads. In addition to bicycles, we have to send a rescue team to follow them with pumps and spare wheels."


    "Who is this?" the official from the State Department asked slightly dissatisfied.


    "Tony Mendez, an expert in rescuing behind enemy lines." Immediately, someone from the CIA introduced the role played by George Clooney. "After Pahlavi fell, he rescued many of his cronies. I just came back from Iran some time ago."...


    "Gentlemen, the only way to leave that city is the airport." Ryan took the conversation in due course, "forged new identities for them, sent a rescuer in, and brought them out by commercial plane."


    "Cut!"


    The assistant director behind the camera gave this side a thumbs up, "OK, take a five-minute rest."


    Taking advantage of the break time, Ryan and George Clooney walked behind the main camera at the same time and watched the replay just now through the display screen. This long-shot group scene has been played several times before, and the effect this time looks pretty good.


    "You can go on!" George Clooney nodded.


    Ryan would naturally not interfere with the director''s work, rubbing his thick beard, and found a makeup artist.


    "Kerry, help me tidy up my beard." He sat on the chair in the resting place and pointed to the thick beard. "It''s not very comfortable."


    After simply sorting out the glued fake beard, Ryan reinvested in the filming and continued the scene that was not completed just now.


    After the actors and others were in place, the assistant director immediately shouted, "The second scene, the seventeenth act, now begins!"


    Of course, the next scene will highlight the protagonist through the pig teammates.


    Taking a copy of the latest Iranian newspaper, Ryan pointed to the picture above, "Sir, do you have this newspaper in front of you? Can you read it?"


    Everyone picked up the same newspaper from the conference table.


    Ryan still pointed to the picture, "This is Tehran, let''s look at what is on the ground."


    "This is... Snow someone answered immediately.


    "Yes." Ryan''s expression didn''t change much, and he said calmly, "According to your plan, our agricultural charity staff, what crops should be checked on the snow?"


    The meeting room fell silent for a moment, and everyone had different expressions.


    "Sir." Ryan continued, "Rescue is like an abortion. If you have to, you will not go, but if you really want to go, you will not abort yourself."


    "Do you have a better plan?" the official presiding over the meeting asked seriously.


    "No, sir!"


    As the shooting progresses, the crew will also encounter some troubles. No one can guarantee the status. In group dramas, the situation of frequent ng because of one person will appear from time to time. Even Ryan himself sometimes will Encountered some troubles.


    Two weeks after the start of the film, those who needed to be rescued also entered the crew. Of course, the most famous one was Tony Stark in the previous life. )()

 Chapter 600： Disneys Starmaking Tradition

    "Stop!" George Clooney''s voice suddenly sounded.


    Hearing the sound coming from the director''s chair, Ryan looked at the guy wearing the beetle wig, and said nothing. He left the cloth scene and got into his chair and took the coffee that John handed from behind. , Took a sip carefully so as not to touch the fake beard, and then raised his head to look in front of the camera.


    George Clooney was frowning and staring at Robert Downey Jr.


    "Robert, do you need a rest?"


    Several times in a row because of being alone, George Clooney was obviously a little angry, "You have a mental state problem. If you can''t adjust it well, I think I should change the scene to shoot!"


    "Ten minutes..." Robert Downey Jr took off the toad mirror, raised his hand and said, "I only need ten minutes, George, I promise!"


    "Well, I''ll start shooting in ten minutes!" George Clooney returned to the director''s chair.


    Shaking his head, Ryan put the coffee cup aside, picked up the script and looked through it. Although most of the plot is from his hands, so many lines need to be reviewed in time.


    For him, hard work is as important as talent.


    Ten minutes later, Ryan picked up the props and returned to the cloth scenic spot. The other six people were also ready and sat in their respective positions one after another.


    After clapping his hands, George Clooney shouted, "Go!"


    "you¡­¡­"


    Ryan stood among several people, pacing non-stop, and when he walked in front of one of them, he asked, "Where did you get your passport?"


    "Vancouver!"


    "Where were you born?" he continued to ask.


    "Toronto!" the middle-aged man wearing glasses said quickly.


    "Pay attention to the pronunciation!" Ryan reminded while looking at the file, "Canadians don''t pronounce t!"


    "Khomeini''s Islamic Guard knows all this?" Someone obviously didn''t care much.


    Ryan, who was pacing, turned his head and warned very seriously, "If you are detained for interrogation, they will find this kind of expert."


    As soon as the voice fell, he suddenly turned his head back, following the script''s settings. Ask Robert Downey Jr., the most important of the six people, "Who were the three Canadian prime ministers in the past?"


    "Trudeau, Pearson and Difen Baker!"


    "What''s your father''s last name?" Ryan didn''t give him time to react at all, and questions came out one after another, "Where were you born?"


    "Howard, I was born in Ontario."


    "What is your middle name?"


    Faced with such continuous questioning, the embassy staff member wearing a Beetle wig pinched his chin and frowned. Tony Mendez, played by Ryan, did not give him any time to think, and continued to ask, "You What is your middle name? Tell me what is your middle name?"


    "Lyon..." Robert Downey Jr. gestured subconsciously. "Lyon?"


    "Did you see?" Ryan''s eyes drifted across everyone''s faces, "Exposed him, he is an American spy!"


    With a light sigh, Ryan put down the file, his voice was flat, but very serious, "They will try to break your disguise, they will try their best to get your truth, if you don''t want to die. Memorize your resume! The best disguise is to treat yourself as the person to be disguised."


    "Great!"


    George Clooney''s voice sounded again, "Great job, guys!"


    then. He gave Ryan a thumbs up, "Good job, Ryan! This is your best performance since the filming started."


    "Thank you!"


    As he walked to the rest area, Ryan turned back and waved to George Clooney. "I think my condition will get better and better."


    During the shooting in the next few days, Ryan''s condition did get better and better, and quite a few shots were passed at once. Even when there is ng, the number of times rarely exceeds single digits. Even in a difficult scene, after a period of self-adjustment, you can find the feeling quickly.


    Although most of the films made in the past two years are purely commercial films, his acting skills have not regressed.


    As for Robert Downey Jr., his performance in front of the camera is getting better and better, but Ryan has no plans to have a close relationship with him. At best, it is an employment relationship, let alone talk to him about Tony Stark in private. thing.


    People who are related to this kind of thing will naturally look for each other. Although Robert Downey Jr. is indeed the first person in his heart, if he is not happy or offers some conditions that are not in line with his worth, Ryan does not mind. Change other actor candidates.


    If Hollywood is the role that makes actors, then superhero movies are typical of them.


    "Oh dear."


    Opening the door of the dressing room, Ryan looked at Tyler who knocked on the door and walked in, "How long has it been since I saw you, you have grown taller again."


    "It''s only five feet and eight inches."


    Seeing that there was no one in the room, Taylor casually found a chair, sat on it, and stared at Ryan who came back, "Huh, you haven''t visited me for almost three weeks!"


    After speaking, he threw his bag on the chair next to him.


    "Well, honey, I apologize."


    Looking at the satchel on hand, Ryan reluctantly turned to the other side of the girl and sat on the back chair, "I have been busy with the recent filming."


    "Your look is really bad now." Taylor did not pick him up, took the bag, took out a mobile phone after opening, pointed at Ryan and said, "My dear brother Ryan, don''t mind if I shoot you Come down?"


    Although she was asking, she was not at all polite, pressing the OK button directly, and after a slight click, she retracted her phone and looked through it.


    "Newly bought?" Ryan moved the chair and moved closer.


    "It''s not..."


    The little girl shook her head and gave him a little push, "Your beard pierced my ears!"


    "Sorry." Ryan smiled and moved a little further away. Taylor said while playing with her phone, "This is a camera phone that Nicole sent back and made specifically for me. Don''t you have it?"


    After seeing Ryan shaking her head, she cheered, "Great! Hmph, let you take a sneak photo of me when you were a kid! I will take some of your most ugly photos in the future and post them on my blog!"


    "Do you need me to put on some weird looks?" Ryan made a grimace as he said.


    Taylor said all jokes and shrugged, "Well, you quickly remove your makeup, I''m going to another studio to see Christine."


    "Kristin?" Ryan simply did it himself, removing those fake beards bit by bit. "What movie is she making?"


    "David Fincher''s new work."


    Seeing that Ryan had taken off his fake beard and was about to change his clothes, Taylor turned his head voluntarily, "Playing with Judy, it seems to be called "Terror Space"."


    "Wait a moment, I''ll change my clothes."


    With that said, Ryan walked into the changing room on one side. About five minutes later, he changed into his casual clothes and walked out, "Let''s go."


    "Yeah~"


    The little girl nodded, picked up her shoulder bag, took Ryan''s arm, and walked out of the dressing room to the outside of the studio.


    Today¡¯s shooting ended early, and it was only half an afternoon. The light of the Southern California sun, the studio was golden, and the palm trees on the roadside were tall and straight. Whenever the wind blew, there would be a slight light. The leaves rattled.


    "It shouldn''t be very far."


    Tyler pulled Ryan towards the northwest. "Let''s walk over."


    As he walked and looked at the girl who hadn¡¯t seen him for a long time, Taylor seemed to be in the fastest growing stage. Ryan frowned, thought of one thing, and reminded, "Alison, you are now at a critical stage of growing your body. You must Take care to stay in shape."


    He clearly remembered that in the first two years of his previous life, Taylor Swift was a little hunched because of his height.


    "Both the sculptor and the hygienist have reminded me." Taylor nodded solemnly, "I will pay attention, I don''t want to be an ugly monster."


    "It''s as ugly as that red-haired guy." She murmured again.


    "Red-haired guy?"


    Pulling the little girl down and giving way to a slowly passing battery car, Ryan asked strangely, "Are you in conflict with others again?"


    "No."


    She shook her head, "It was someone else''s initiative to trouble me."


    Stroking the scattered blonde curly hair, Taylor continued, "The guy starring in "Spice Girl", because of the good response from the movie, Hollywood Records recorded a single for her, preparing to release it recently. She probably really thought she Become a big star, come to my practice room to show off..."


    "It''s just a show off after the little girl''s self-inflation." Ryan roughly guessed who Taylor was talking about. The two had been unhappy years ago. "Don''t worry too much."


    "I didn''t care." Taylor jumped on the curbstone, opened his hand to keep balance and walked forward, "Huh, those freckles on Lindsay Lohan''s face are like..."


    She turned her head to look at Ryan, sticking out her tongue mischievously, and did not continue.


    Ryan shook his head and smiled used to pull her down from the curbstone. As for the things Taylor said, they were treated as nonsense between girls and didn''t take it to heart.


    At the same time, there was an idea that Lindsay Lohan''s value didn''t seem to be able to maintain too much time, so we should squeeze it dry as soon as possible.


    The other party is regarded as one of Disney¡¯s popular child stars over the years. This year¡¯s "Hot Girl Hot Mom" ??has won more than 110 million US dollars in the box office in North America alone. girl".


    The moment of greatest popularity is the moment when she completely slipped into the abyss.


    Except for his own people such as Taylor, Scarlett, and Christine, Ryan did not change the idea of ??Walt Disney''s star-making tradition, because it is in his interest to create the greatest income.


    It¡¯s not difficult for groups like Walt Disney to win popularity among young stars with potential. When these young idols are drained of value, they lose meaning to Disney.


    Disney has been doing this for decades, and it will continue to do so in the future. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 601： Pig blood everywhere

    Relying on the absolute advantages of animation and Disney TV, in Hollywood and even in the United States, Disney is the most influential entertainment company in the group of minors, and the continuous development of youth idols popular with teenagers is Disney. An important strategy that has always been pursued.


    Having been in Disney for such a long time, Ryan also knows that Disney has a set of effective star-making formulas that have been verified countless times by the market.


    To put it simply, Disney has a fixed manufacturing model for cultivating youth idols. It first uses dramas or TV movies to create a sensation, and then uses the original soundtrack to quickly grab money, and then it will intentionally or unintentionally spread gossip and lace. As for the gossip objects, Disney It is also holding the principle of''no fat and water flow to outsiders'' fields, so that these people are looking for news points among other Disney contractors.


    When everything is in place, they will definitely release a solo album on their Hollywood record company to develop and consolidate their fan base.


    Although the stars created in this mode are different, they can always quickly capture the hearts of boys and girls, allowing them to open their wallets willingly.


    Of course, these idol stars also have the same trait, that is, once they grow older and face difficulties in transition, they will basically be abandoned by Disney.


    The reason is simple. Instead of investing a lot of human and financial resources to help these people transform successfully, it is better to recreate a few new youth idols at a smaller cost to benefit more.


    Disney has created too many stars in this way.


    There are Anne Funicello, Hayley Mills, Kurt Russell in the distance, and Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Vanessa Hudgens, etc., are close. In the future, there will be a large number of smashing teenage stars such as Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and the Jonathan Brothers.


    Among them, a very few people have succeeded in the transformation, but most of them have become part of the sinking child stars after being abandoned by Disney.


    After Ryan became chairman, he did not change this strategy, as evidenced by the memory of the past time and past life. This is an effective method, and under his proposal, Disney¡¯s board of directors quickly approved a larger scale and scale of youth starmaking movement, preparing to prepare for a talent show called the Disney Global Talent Program, and this event will be next year Officially launched.


    In addition, after seeing the "Hannah Montana" and "High School Musical" projects, Ryan is also allowing Disney''s management to accelerate the pace of promotion, the former has entered the casting stage.


    "I think it''s good."


    In the rest area of ??the studio, Christine sitting on a chair looked at Taylor with his arms folded, "Alison. Except for little guys like Lily and Austin who are not interested in acting and singing, we You are the only one who is not famous. Don¡¯t you think Hannah? Montana is actually pretty good? I¡¯m an ordinary person and become a big star when I need it."


    "You know, I have no interest in acting."


    Taking Kristen Stewart''s hand, Taylor lay on the back of the chair, looked at Ryan, who was talking to Judy Foster and David Fincher in front of him, and said, "The Disney guys are also Asked me. I only offered one condition..."


    "What conditions?" Kristen Stewart asked, looking back at her.


    "If they can tell Ryan to play the father inside." Tyler twisted each other''s brown hair and scratched her ears gently, waiting for Christine to laugh. Continued, "I promised them to play Hannah Montana."


    Kristen Stewart flattened his mouth and shrugged to his friend, which was obviously impossible.


    She snatched her hair from Tyler. He rolled his eyes, "Alison, didn''t you mean Lindsay? Lohan was making trouble for you at Hollywood Records? How about..."


    "You two. What bad idea are you making?" When Ryan walked over, he just heard the words behind, and sat on the chair next to him and said, "When you grow up, don''t always think about bullying."


    "We didn''t."


    The two girls hugged each other, laughing and joking. After Taylor¡¯s words, Kristen Stewart agreed and said, "Yeah, Ryan, you don¡¯t know, that Lindsay Lohan is really annoying, with I always think I''m great when you roll the call."


    "I heard that the Hollywood record company is going to release a single for her? Also make a solo album? There is also a heroine in a movie?" The tomboy seems to be embarrassing his friends.


    Taylor looked around, and there was no one other than the three of them. Then he said, "Kristen, you are too stupid. You have not inherited the shrewdness of Aunt Julis at all."


    "Me?" She deliberately put on an expression of dissatisfaction.


    "This is called squeezing surplus value!" Taylor said in a low voice, "you have to understand, she is just making money for us."


    "It seems..." Kristen Stewart scratched his head. "It seems like this."


    Their families have the same commonalities, and one of them is Disney''s shareholders.


    "Okay, let''s not talk about it."


    Seeing someone passing by, Tyler walked to the chair where Ryan was sitting and pulled him up, "It''s almost time, Christine should shoot, let''s go."


    "Shooting at night?" Ryan asked the tomboy next to him.


    "Hmm..." She nodded, "I''m going to West Hollywood for a night view."


    Beckoning to David Finch and Judy Foster on the camera side, Ryan and the two went out of the studio, found a battery car, and left the Warner Studios.


    When I got in the car, it was already dark. On the way back to Beverly Hills, Taylor still played with the mobile phone that Nicole had given me with great interest. From time to time, he would lower the car window and take pictures of the scenery outside. It''s a pity Even if it is a customized mobile phone, subject to the technology of this era, the shooting effect is not particularly good.


    "I''m collecting material for my blog." The little girl said to Ryan while flipping through the phone''s photo album, "Well... how about posting a photo of the two of us? It will definitely cause a sensation."


    "naughty!"


    Ryan stretched out his hand, and Taylor put the phone in his hand without any hesitation.


    "Are there any people who don''t want me to know?" Having lived so much of you here, Ryan paid attention to these things. He just looked at a few landscape pictures taken by Tyler, then gave her the phone and reminded her. , "Don¡¯t store too much **** in your phone."


    "I understand." She nodded seriously.


    For Ryan, who has seen all kinds of kidney machines in the past life, this customized mobile phone is not very powerful in terms of functions except for its beauty and luxury.


    Unexpectedly, this era has a mobile phone with camera function! He muttered in his heart.


    In this case, the biggest problem of "Hurricane Rescue" is solved. The script that has been written for many years can also be taken out... Well, Liam Neeson is still younger now, and the fight scenes will not look like the previous life. It¡¯s so laborious, and if you shoot earlier, you won¡¯t be unable to move in the sequel...


    This kind of purely commercial movie, just turn it over to Julius. Anyway, the investment will not be large, and there will be a lot of advertisements in it. Presumably this is his script after the news that many mobile phone companies will not. Let go of the opportunity to place ads.


    When returning to Jenkins Manor, Charlize was already waiting in the dining room.


    "Hi, Charlie."


    Like Ryan, the girl after a simple wash walked over to the South African Diamond and gave a light hug, "It''s been a long time."


    "Yeah, dear."


    After a little distance, Charlize looked at her carefully, "You are almost as tall as me."


    "It''s just height..." The little girl wrinkled her face and sat in her seat, "Always being laughed at by the villain Scarlett."


    "You are less than fourteen years old, don''t worry." Ryan sat opposite Charlize and took his knife and fork. "Time will solve everything."


    "Okay, okay." Tyler nodded his head and asked Charlize while cutting his black pepper steak, "Charlie, is your new movie finished?"


    "Not yet." Charlize was eating a special nutrition package, "but most of the scenes are finished, only a few scattered shots are left."


    "So, the third part of "X-Men" will be released next year?" she asked again.


    "According to the plan." Ryan stuffed the cut steak into his mouth and took over the topic. "Next year''s summer file."


    "The trilogy is about to end." Tyler''s sapphire blue eyes rolled, and asked concerned, "Then when will you start them... well, the silly things when they were young?"


    "Always wait a few years." Ryan replied casually.


    Even though dinner was specially matched by nutritionists, Charlize didn¡¯t eat much, so he put down his knife and fork, took a tissue and wiped his mouth, and asked Ryan, "Honey, I have time on weekends. ?"


    "Of course." Ryan turned his head and looked over and said with a smile, "Your premiere? I have arranged it a long time ago. The crew hasn''t had my part in the film in recent days."


    "Premiere?" Taylor suddenly raised his head from the dining table, and asked curiously, "Will it be the movie where Charlie killed off? Oh, I still remember when I went to visit the class, there were pigs everywhere. blood¡­¡­"


    Having said this, the girl suddenly stopped and looked at the seven mature black pepper steaks in front of her. She no longer had an appetite. She quickly put down her knife and fork and drank a gulp of juice, "God, I can''t eat it anymore."


    She glared at Ryan, "I blame you for making me lose my appetite."


    Charlize shook his head with a smile, and beckoned to the servant next to her, asking her to tell the kitchen to prepare some fruits and lighter food. After all, Taylor was just growing up, so he might be hungry after a while.


    Taylor didn''t let Ryan go, "So, you have to make up for me, I''m going to attend Charlie''s premiere! I''m going to watch "Kill Bill"!" (To be continued...)()

 Chapter 602： The big gangster bullies the little gangster.

    "Dear."


    As soon as he entered the front hall of the theater through the side entrance, Ryan met Harvey Weinstein, and the big fat man looked at Taylor and said, "You are getting more and more beautiful."


    "Thank you!"


    The girl held Ryan and winked her eyes to the other side mischievously, "Harvey, you are getting fatter."


    Ryan and Harvey Weinstein both laughed.


    This is the premiere of "Kill Bill", this niche genre film that has replaced the heroine. It was deliberately selected for a schedule without strong competitors. This is also Quentin Tasino''s nearly ten years of experience. After sinking, I tried my best to create a masterpiece.


    Since "Pulp Fiction", the director who was born as a clerk in a video rental store has received a mediocre response to several subsequent works. "Kill Bill" is also his turnaround.


    Not long after waiting, Charlize, who was about to walk on the red carpet, entered the theater, greeted the people next to him briefly, and came straight to this side. Taylor cleverly let go of Ryan''s arm and flashed to the side with a smile.


    "You are so beautiful, Charlie." She said to Charlize in a goose yellow evening dress.


    "You are also beautiful, dear." Charlize took Ryan''s arm, and the other hand took Taylor, and exhorted, "You have to sit next to me. If you feel any discomfort, you must tell. I."


    "Alison, this is not a joke." Ryan also said seriously.


    This is an R-rated film. Although it is accompanied by myself and Charlize, there is nothing inappropriate, but the film is too violent and bloody.


    "I will." Tyler rolled his eyes, but nodded seriously.


    Soon, Ryan met Quentin Tastino, who was known as a Hollywood ghost in his previous life. It was the first time he saw this director. The two people were in a very distinct circle. One was a representative of mainstream movies. The other is stuck in the cult.


    If it hadn''t been for the reorganized Miramax to invest in the other party''s movie and replace the pre-ordered heroine with Charlize, Ryan would probably not deal with him.


    The director looks very peculiar. There was a cool smirk on Hei Chao''s face.


    But when he walked to Ryan, the smile disappeared. Say hello very seriously.


    After shook hands with him and nodded in greeting, Ryan didn''t say much. Neither he nor Disney had any plans to enter the cult film, which in itself was inconsistent with the positioning of the entire group.


    There are still some sensitive themes in cult movies, so we should leave them to the Weinstein brothers and Miramax, such as the documentary mentioned by Harvey Weinstein.


    When most people started walking towards the theater. The big fat man didn''t move. There were only three people around, Ryan, and he didn''t have so much scruples when he spoke.


    "Ryan, I saw a documentary."


    "Documentary?"


    Seeing Ryan Weiwei a little surprised, Harvey Weinstein explained, "Michael Moore''s new work, you should have heard of it?"


    ""Fahrenheit 911"?" Ryan had naturally heard of it.


    It¡¯s been a while since the other party¡¯s documentary was filmed, but there has been no suitable distributor. The big Hollywood companies are not fools, so how can they publish such sensitive and difficult to distinguish documentaries?


    Although usually in the film often ridicule the federal government. But this is not a general subject.


    "A few days ago, Michael found me." Harvey Weinstein showed the essence of a Hollywood businessman, "The content is really sensitive. But it can attract the audience, and..."


    "You make your own decision, Harvey." Ryan doesn''t want to mix it up. Harvey Weinstein is a smart man who knows how to work to avoid the biggest storm on the issuer.


    You know, just a few months ago, when Mel Gibson approached Miramax with "The Passion of the Christ", the big fat man refused the movie without hesitation.


    "I plan to take this documentary to the Cannes Film Festival next year." Harvey Weinstein showed a weird smile on his face, "This is a good opportunity."


    "Why the Cannes Film Festival?" Taylor asked, holding Charlize''s hand curiously. She has long heard of this documentary circulating in the circle.


    "Honey." Ryan looked at her and explained seriously. "With the character of a Frenchman, it is very likely that Michael Moore will be awarded a Palme d''Or. Then he will become the focus of public opinion and the biggest target of criticism..."


    "Then, most of the firepower will be directed at him?" Tyler is very smart, and the environment in which she lives makes her know a lot. "Can Harvey and Miramax hide behind and avoid the most violent attacks?"


    "I believe this is also Michael Moore''s wishes." Harvey Weinstein opened his hand to the girl.


    "I see." Tyler nodded his small chin. "It seems that I still have a lot to learn."


    "It''s almost time..."


    Charlize looked at the almost empty hall and suggested, "Let''s go in."


    She took Ryan to the front, and Taylor lags behind, muttering something with Harvey Weinstein, seeming to be still discussing the topic just now.


    "Now tell Alison..." Charlize whispered in Ryan''s ear as he walked, "Don''t you think it''s a bit earlier, dear?"


    "Charlie." Ryan looked at her and sighed in a low voice, "If she just wants a simple and happy life, I won''t mention these things, but Alison chooses to enter this circle in the future. Some methods must be learned."


    "She not only has to protect herself, but also her friends." Ryan added.


    "Kill Bill" in addition to the typical Quentin Tastino''s hodgepodge style, you can also see a deep Harvey Weinstein brand.


    This film cost only 60 million U.S. dollars. In post-production, the big fat man forced Quentin Tasino to edit into two parts, which were then released in two parts in order to maximize the benefits...


    Of course, the Oscar queen joining such a film is also a huge publicity.


    The film does not have to pay attention to what kind of connotation, it is just a simple video entertainment, this is Quentin''s evaluation of his film.


    The film is indeed like what he said, simple, crude, and direct. Even if the protagonist is a woman, there will be no softness at the time of revenge. The blissful killings and flying stumps and severed hands are mixed with chaos. The spray of blood is indeed very enjoyable.


    Simply put, as long as a movie can stimulate the adrenaline of the audience to soar, to a certain extent, it is even a success.


    The theme is simple, the plot is simple, the heroine is beautiful and sexy, and the action is cool enough, coupled with some off-topic dialogue, it is not difficult to become a classic among cult movie lovers.


    Because of the modeling of the model and the experience of the ballet school, Charlize''s movements are extremely malleable. Although in the eyes of people like Ryan who have watched more martial arts and Kungfu movies in his previous life, his soft fists are still weak, but he fools Europe and the United States. Enough audience.


    With vengeful anger in her gloomy eyes, she killed all the way from North America to Tokyo.


    However, the Aoba House battle royale, which was the first movie, had just begun, and Charlize had only cut off half of his arm, and Taylor on the other side finally couldn''t help it.


    The movies she likes have always been light-hearted, and the taste of this movie is really too heavy.


    "I''m going out," she whispered.


    "That''s good." Ryan nodded and pushed Charlize back in the seat, who was about to stand up, and reminded in a low voice, "This is your premiere. I will accompany Alison out and wait for you in the car. ."


    After seeing her nod, Ryan accompanied the girl out of the projection hall lightly.


    "Oh, God."


    Walking to the front hall of the theater, standing in front of an open window, breathing in the fresh air, Taylor complained, "How much pig blood did that guy use? When I went to explore Li''s class, I felt very It''s bloody, I didn''t expect the movie to be too much than I thought."


    Ryan didn''t speak, and stood with her in front of the window, letting Taylor vent the gloomy feeling brought by the movie.


    Different people always have different feelings about different movies. For people like Taylor who like warm movies, cults are obviously not her food.


    She came here only because it was a movie starring Charlize.


    After this **** killing began, audiences came out of the theater one after another. Most of these people were not cult lovers. They came here also for Charlize, but there was a clear gap between the movie and their imagination.


    There is no denying that "Kill Bill" is a classic cult movie, but such a movie is also a typical niche movie.


    Taylor, who was standing in front of the window, finally stopped venting, then turned to ask Ryan, "Do you think I''m very long-winded?"


    "Alison, you are my sister." Ryan was accustomed to rubbing the little girl''s head, but found that the other person''s head was no longer something he could rub by raising his hand. "In any case, you are all I love. younger sister!"


    The little girl nodded vigorously, suddenly lowered her head and grabbed Ryan''s hand, placed it on her golden curly hair, and rubbed it against her generous palm a few times Let¡¯s go to the car and wait for Charlie. . "


    Probably the movie is about to end. The number of people in the front hall has obviously increased. Tyler pulled Ryan and walked towards the side door, "My dear brother, if you don''t want to be watched."


    Sitting in a black Rolls Royce, while waiting for Charlize, Taylor couldn''t help asking, "Ryan, do you like movies like this?"


    "It''s okay, the simplest pure entertainment." Ryan couldn''t help but remember how he felt when he saw the movie for the first time in his previous life. "There is no preaching, no connotation, and some are happy."


    "Of course, I basically forgot after having fun." He smiled and shook his head.


    "I know you like this kind of entertainment movie the most." Taylor wrinkled his nose, curled his mouth and said, "I''ve seen his "Falling Water Dog" and "Pulp Fiction", huh, these movies are just like Quentin. Hooligans, use different methods to bully those little hooligans in the movie."


    "Perhaps he will bully a bigger gangster in the future." Ryan laughed. (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 603： Intelligence Star

    Maybe Quentin Tastino will bully Hitler¡¯s big gangster in the future, but movies like "Kill Bill" will certainly not become mainstream. The addition of Charlize Theron has attracted some non-cult film fans. Walking into the theater, quite a few of these people have difficulty holding on to the end of the film.


    A niche movie is a niche movie, and it will not change the nature of its limited audience just because of the addition of a big-name actor or director.


    "No mainstream audience would approve of this film. It is also one of the most violent films ever produced by an American studio."


    This view undoubtedly represents the voice of the mainstream media. Of course, directors like Quentin Tasino would not care too much about this voice.


    Perhaps it was the joining of the Oscar queen of Charlize, which really increased the appeal of the film. The box office of "Kill Bill" seemed to be better than Ryan''s vague impression.


    On the first three days of the week, they received 27.55 million U.S. dollars in 3102 theaters. This box office is already an excellent result for niche movies.


    Ryan is one of the major shareholders of Miramax, and naturally wants to see the movie make a profit.


    During the filming of "Argo", he also took time to pay attention to the film''s box office trend. The box office fell to more than 16 million US dollars in the second week, and fell to more than 8.5 million US dollars in the third week.


    This situation is normal. The real market reaction of the niche film, according to his calculation, the North American box office of this film is difficult to exceed 100 million, but relative to investment, profitability is not difficult.


    Subsequently, most of Ryan''s energy was again transferred to "Argo".


    The crew was divided into two groups. The assistant director led some people to shoot scenes such as the flight of Swissair and some pure street scenes. George Clooney and the main actors ended the shots in the studio and began to travel around North America.


    The Islamic ghetto in California, the State Department Building and Washington Monument in Washington, and the headquarters in Virginia State, these are the places where the crew needs to film. Some are not easy to enter, at this time the role of the partner CIA comes into play.


    With the CIA as a guarantee, although it will not get admission tickets to some key places, it relatively reduces the difficulties encountered by the crew in many location shootings.


    Of course, whether it is the State Council or the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency, you can only take a short shot at the entrance. It is not as easy to set up a scene in a studio if you want to enter the interior to shoot.


    In late November, the crew came to Langley, Virginia. The headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency is located here.


    In order to assist the filming of this alternative promotional film, the CIA specially gave the crew one day to shoot in the square and entrance of the headquarters building.


    In order to reduce unnecessary troubles, we also try to lock the lens on several actors such as Ryan to reduce the appearance of panoramic shots. The scenery is fast and concise, and only the nameplates of a few shooting locations have been replaced. .


    In addition, a dozen old-fashioned cars transported by the crew were placed on the parking lot of the square.


    "Stop! Stop!"


    On the parking lot of the square. Ryan made a stop gesture to the camera and pointed to the large microphone that stretched over his head to record, "Check the recording equipment, I just heard the noise."


    George Clooney across from him shouted. "Hurry up! Our time is limited! Don''t delay precious time because of these **** questions!"


    As he shouted, several technicians were already busy.


    "George, I found something very interesting." Ryan put his briefcase on the front cover of the car and looked at him with interest. "No matter what the temper, or how gentle and delicate the voice is, sitting in the director''s chair for a long time will become a big grumpy voice."


    "Oh, then I have to pay attention to my own image." George Clooney straightened his hair and glanced at the reporter who was blocked by someone in the distance and was faintly visible. "I am not only a director, but also a What about the actors."


    The other party is a veteran handsome guy recognized by the media and the public, and of course a veteran playboy.


    After about ten minutes, the recording equipment was adjusted and the shooting restarted.


    Ryan picked up the briefcase, walked to the exit of the building, made an ¡®ok¡¯ gesture to the camera, and after the assistant director called to start, he strode towards the parking lot.


    Before he got to his car, he saw George Clooney coming down from the black car. He paid an American military salute to the other side and walked quickly over.


    "I left the signature collection book at home!" The other party greeted him with a smile, and the two went straight to the flower bed. He said, "The director called me. He wants to see you!"


    "Maybe he wants to fire me personally." This person who doesn''t talk much at work, rarely smiles.


    The camera was on the side of the two of them, at most a foot apart, but Ryan and George Clooney were both actors who had been in the industry for many years and didn''t care about the camera.


    "Tony, he wants to award you the Star of Intelligence Medal!"


    Following these words, Ryan''s indifferent face showed a hint of surprise, and the person opposite continued, "You are about to receive the highest award of excellence from the secret organization of the United States. The award ceremony is on the 14th floor."


    In Hollywood movies, what should we do when facing such a moment?


    Of course it will not be humble, nor will it be the result of the leadership of XX, nor will it be shouting a few big and empty slogans.


    North American movies have never been stingy to show family and affection, especially the description of a legendary hero.


    "If it is postponed for a week, I can bring Ian." Tony Mendez, played by Ryan, must first think of family. "He will be on winter vacation next week."


    "The action is confidential, and the award ceremony is also confidential." The other party said helplessly, "Ian can''t know, no one can know."


    "So they will give me the award and then take it back?" Ryan showed a clear look.


    "Yes!" The person on the other side nodded, "If we wanted to hear the applause, we would have chosen to join the circus."


    He patted Ryan on the shoulder and strode towards the building.


    "Isn''t this the circus?" Ryan slowly turned around, and George Clooney turned his head at the same time, and said as he walked forward, "Jimmy Carter said you are an amazing American!"


    Ryan smiled briefly, and soon returned to his inherent calm state.


    "Okay, we can call it a day!"


    After George Clooney went to the camera to check it, he quickly asked his assistant to notify him of retreat.


    Getting into his car, Ryan said to the driver, "Back to Washington, DC."


    The headquarters of the CIA is at the border of Washington, DC and Virginia. The crew stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC, the hotel where Ronald Reagan was assassinated by John Hinkley.


    Unlike the White House, etc., due to its particularity, it has never been open to the public. Only customers and employees who work with him and government employees can enter. Ryan has never thought of visiting spy agencies in the past. It is better to go back to Washington. Circle it.


    It was still early, and instead of going back to the hotel directly, he asked the car to go around the Lincoln Memorial. Although he had been here before, he rarely had time to visit.


    Speaking of which, apart from this shooting, the last time I came to Washington, it was when I was a child.


    It seems to be when "Jurassic Park" premiered? Through the car window, Ryan seemed to be able to faintly see the shadow of the National Museum of Nature.


    In fact, in recent years, the White House has often invited him to the White House Correspondents Association dinner for celebrities, reporters, media professionals, and wealthy individuals, but Ryan rarely spares time to come over. Most of them are Nicole or Pie? Participate on your behalf.


    The Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial are also highly photographed buildings in Hollywood movies. Of course, they are also the key targets of destruction. If you look at Hollywood movies, these two places have to be destroyed at least ten times.


    Ryan was not interested in getting out of the car and being watched. He just asked the driver to slow down a little. When passing by the door of the Lincoln Memorial, he also saw another crew filming here.


    Although I didn¡¯t look very carefully, Ryan knew that this was a Warner Bros. crew. After a long period of preparation, the ¡°Wonder Woman¡± crew officially launched in Washington a few days ago, and the actor who played Princess Diana was Natalie''s friend from Israel.


    In this way, the manga wants to break the predicament and highlight the first work of the encirclement, which is neither "Superman", UU Kanshu www.uukanshu. Com is not "Batman", but this "Wonder Woman". Tim Burton, who once made the brilliance of the Batman movie series, once again placed high hopes on Time Warner.


    There were many reporters around the crew. Ryan had no idea of ??getting out of the car and asking for trouble. After the car passed by the entrance of the memorial hall, he looked back.


    In fact, as long as you deal with Princess Diana¡¯s enemies and her feminist thoughts, and find a suitable enemy, even if the movie will not be a super-sell, it will not become like the previous "Superman Returns". A big hole.


    At several parties, Ryan also heard from people from Warner that the opponent set for Wonder Woman would be a female traitor who is also an Amazonian, and Ares, one of the gods of Olympus. Try to avoid touching the sensitive psychology of male audiences as much as possible.


    In the next week or so, Ryan followed the crew around Washington, D.C., shooting some scattered shots, and then rushed back to California. In an Islamic community, he shot a lot of Shia parades. The picture, after the arrival of December, finally ended all Tony Mendez''s scenes.


    Although there is still a while before the crew finishes filming, Ryan can already leave. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 604： World of Warcraft

    Every summer and Christmas are the time for commercial blockbusters to be released. The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is over, and the surprising superhero movie is still brewing the next step, the "Harry Potter" series. The third film is under intense production. These films that continue to create brilliance will certainly not appear in the Christmas file.


    After returning to Los Angeles, Ryan attended the North American premiere of "Lost in Tokyo" organized by Flower Pictures. This work co-invested by him and the Coppola family did not get the gold at this year''s Cannes Film Festival. Palm, however, brought Scarlett Johansson an award for best actress.


    Of course, this kind of literary and artistic movie cannot be released on a large scale.


    Even with the support of Ryan, the film cannot escape the laws of the market. There are only 23 theaters released in the first week. As for the box office...


    It is unrealistic to expect this kind of movie to make money quickly, as the box office can recover the cost.


    At the same time, Ryan''s resources will be appropriately tilted towards Scarlett. Although it is impossible to win an Oscar for performance awards, the nomination is still promising.


    The Coppola family is also doing the necessary public relations for Sophia Coppola. After the film was released in North America, she has received countless praises. Those film critics can''t wait to lift her to the sky, especially female film critics. Appointed her as the first person among the younger generation of Hollywood directors.


    I don''t know if these people still remember how they laughed at Sophia? Coppola''s big teeth and the performance of relying on nepotism in Hollywood.


    These are also clear, the media and film critics just look at it, if you are serious, forget it.


    Speaking of the media, the media is full of news about pirates recently. How did a group of Caribbean pirates live the legendary sea life, how fast is the great Black Pearl, and Jack Sparrow, who is walking catwalks and holding orchid fingers. The captain is not like a traditional pirate in Hollywood, but like a clown in a circus...


    That''s right!


    After a long period of filming and publicity. "Pirates of the Caribbean" has long released a trailer and put the first "Curse of the Black Pearl" on the Christmas file.


    Pirate-themed movies, as long as you mention it, many Hollywood studios will recall their own blood and tears. This type of movie has disappeared in Hollywood. Now Disney has not only restarted the pirate series, but also invested a lot of money to create a one-time After the trilogy, in the eyes of many people, Ryan and Disney are simply crazy.


    Those critics who have recently become more and more high-profile. Although he is not optimistic about this movie, he is cautious not to make any comments. The past achievements of the movie with the title of Ryan''s work are too good. Who knows if his success will continue?


    These people also know in their hearts that if someone in Hollywood can save a failed movie theme, it would be Ryan Jenkins.


    Again, this is the consensus of people in Hollywood circles.


    Not to mention the past movies, look at the two best box office this year, they feel deeply helpless.


    The North American box office of "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" reached US$427.89 million. Not only is this year the first North American movie to exceed $400 million at the box office, it is also the highest-grossing movie in North America this year, and its performance in the global box office is even more amazing.


    Although it has not been released in some remote countries and regions, the global box office of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is close to 1.2 billion US dollars. Successfully surpassed "Jurassic Park" and became the second only to "Titanic" in the film history box office.


    Another film, "Finding Nemo", adapted from the "Ryan Tales", just went offline in North America some time ago, and it took away a box office of 378.98 million U.S. dollars. The current global box office accumulation is also close to 850 million U.S. dollars, and it is an inevitable result that the global box office will exceed 900 million U.S. dollars, and it will basically become the most popular animated film ever.


    Just think of film history box office records. Regardless of whether it is the media or the industry, whether it is disgusting or liking, they have to admit that Ryan has achieved a level that they can''t even imagine in the commercialization of movies.


    If it wasn''t for the other party''s identity and status, they really wanted to call him a ¡®freak¡¯, or find someone to knock his head off to see what was inside.


    This kind of thing can only be imagined. Few people who can be famous in Hollywood are fools. The changes in recent years have also made them realize that Ryan is definitely not as kind and kind on the surface. Not as sunny and harmless as his looks.


    If you can choose, few people are willing to take the initiative to become his enemy. After all, Tom Cruise is the best example. The former Hollywood superstar has filmed nearly ten films in the San Fernando Valley in just one year. Works, which involve a variety of heavy taste themes...


    Although no one speaks publicly, why did Tom Cruise fall to where he is today? How many people in Hollywood don''t understand?


    There is also Michael Eisner. After leaving Disney, he can only choose to retire, but his life after retirement is not comfortable. In the middle, because of the transfer of Disney¡¯s equity in his hand, he fell ill and lived in a nursing home for a long time. Time, it is said that it is now ready to leave North America, away from Disney''s headquarters.


    "After Michael Eisner left Disney, he has been in contact with some people on Wall Street."


    Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Ryan was looking at the work report sent by George while talking to Nicole, "He has not been reconciled to failure in the past two years, and we can''t deal with him by means outside the rules. "


    "So, are we putting pressure on him secretly?" After blinking his royal blue eyes, Tyler who was next to Nicole took the conversation and said clearly, "Then force him to give up?"


    "Since he is retired, he should enjoy his old age." Ryan looked up at Tyler, saw the girl thinking very seriously, and continued, "As long as he leaves North America and extinguishes the last thoughts about me and Disney, we may be in the future. You can also sit with him for a drink."


    "Didn''t the media report that he is going to settle in Switzerland?" Nicole put down the newspaper in her hand, took a sip from the coffee cup in front of him, and then said casually, "The matter between us and him can be regarded as It''s over."


    Although he has never let his guard down, Ryan will not really rush to kill, Michael Eisner is completely different from Tom Cruise, as long as he really retires, in the future...


    Hmm... I''ll be passers-by from now on.


    Nicole looked at her watch, stood up and walked towards the hanger, "I asked Judy to go shopping together, it''s almost time."


    Seeing Ryan nodded, she looked at Taylor, who was lying on the back of the sofa with her chin, "Honey, aren''t you together?"


    Taylor shook his head, "I don''t want to be watched by paparazzi and cameras."


    After speaking, he waved to Nicole who walked to the door of the villa.


    After Nicole left, Taylor blinked, jumped up and walked over, "Ryan, shall we go to the study to play games?"


    "My dear, are you interested?" Ryan put down the files in his hand, stood up and walked with her to the study room upstairs. The girl said grinningly as she walked, "It''s just a moment of freshness. Anyway, it''s just a test. The sky is thrown aside."


    "If every game player is like you..."


    Turning the corner of the stairs, Ryan opened Nicole''s study and activated two computers, "Honey, Blizzard Entertainment must go bankrupt."


    "Cut!" The girl snorted indifferently, and sat down in front of the laptop first, "I''m not a game enthusiast."


    Ryan had to sit next to the LCD screen of the desktop computer, found the game icon on the desktop, opened it, skipped the familiar cutscenes, and entered the test account given by the Blizzard staff.


    Entering the task interface, a night elf archer with white hair and gray eyes appeared on the screen.


    That''s right, this is Blizzard''s online game masterpiece-"World of Warcraft"!


    After several years of development and testing, this online game adapted from "Warcraft" has entered the final internal networking test stage. A few days ago, when Ryan took Taylor to the Blizzard headquarters, Alan Ade Khan gave two test accounts, claiming to give them the best gaming experience.


    Of course, Ryan and Taylor didn''t have time to sit in front of the computer to practice leveling, and it was impossible to put so much energy into the game. The characters inside were directly adjusted to level sixty.


    "Ahhhhhhh!"


    Tyler''s angrily voice came from nearby, "Why died again? It''s the dragon! Ryan, where are you, come and help me kill the dragon, it killed my''robin''!" "


    Robin is the name of a character in Taylor''s game, a human thief.


    "I''m at the mallet of doom."


    Clicking the hearthstone in the downbag, the night elf huntress returned to Stormwind City, and then sat on the griffon and started a long flight.


    "Who designed the flight mode?" Taylor muttered, "It''s a waste of time. I saw Austin played "Diablo 2". Isn''t the portal mode better?"


    "This game is charged according to the game time..."


    After Ryan''s reminder, the girl suddenly realized, "That''s it."


    "Hurry up, hurry up, are you there yet?" She leaned over to Ryan''s screen.


    "Coming soon."


    I got down to the flying point of Watch Fort The huntress summoned the white tiger and rode to the robin and ran towards the robin. Fortunately, the distance was not very far, and I saw the thief woman after a while. Thief.


    "It''s the dragon?" Ryan clicked on the black dragon that was flying around. He couldn''t see the level, but the skeleton level was displayed. "It seems we can''t beat the two of us?"


    "You''re so long-winded..." Taylor mumbled dissatisfied.


    Ryan could only prepare for the battle, summon the pet white tiger, and cast the hunter mark on the black dragon, "Okay, let the tiger go first."


    Pressing the skill button and releasing the tiger, the female hunter shot a deadly arrow. The female thief who touched the black dragon also waved her dagger to reveal her fangs, and then...


    Then after the black dragon breathed, the white tiger stood up on the spot, and the female thief screamed and slowly fell to her knees.


    "Why am I dead again!" Taylor scratched the golden retriever on his head.


    "My dear, I''m also dead." Ryan''s character has become an elf. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 605： Explosive genius

    As the "World of Warcraft" that pushed Blizzard Entertainment to its peak, it is one of the few games that Ryan has played in his previous life. Unfortunately, his level is indeed not very good. But this series has an inseparable relationship with him. The game is after all Adapted from the serial novel he wrote at the beginning.


    This series, which was once serialized on "Vanity Fair", is far less sensational than "Harry Potter", but it is equally attractive, especially from the eyes of Hollywood producers.


    As early as when "Warcraft" was on sale, people in the industry had contacted him and wanted to get the right to adapt the movie.


    Ryan certainly would not agree. Although there are very few successful game adaptations into movies, and even if there are occasional winners, there are few big-selling genres, but when "World of Warcraft" set off a game frenzy on a global scale, the movie can always Attract some audiences.


    After seeing this game that is very similar to the previous life, Ryan is also considering the possibility of film adaptation.


    It¡¯s different from the previous world view of Blizzard¡¯s contradictory changes and changes. Because of the adaptation of his novel, the "Warcraft" series of games have a complete history, and several key heroes were challenged in "Reign of Chaos" and "Ice Throne" The shaping of the game is excellent. The names of Illidan Stormrage, Tyrande Whisperwind, Sylvanas Windrunner and Alsace Menethil are all widely circulated among game fans. Movies are not games. It is impossible to use a large space to create a pile of screen images. There must be trade-offs. If you want to succeed, you must erect a certain hero or a small team such as the Fellowship team to become the absolute protagonist. .


    As for the appropriate choice, Thrall, Anduin Lothar, Varian Wrynn, and Arthas Menethil are all highly adaptable.


    Thrall is fine. This is a movie. If the protagonist is a green-skinned orc, it will definitely become a tragedy.


    Among them, Ryan is most inclined to Alsace Menethil. The prince of the human race possessed all the good qualities when he appeared on the stage, but in the end he fell into a puppet of the Lich King. Whether it is the change of identity role, or the mental journey experienced during the period. Both are very suitable to be the protagonist on the screen.


    In the face of light and darkness, in the face of redemption and slaughter, a person''s heart is constantly struggling. Isn''t this a very good subject?


    You can consider shooting into a trilogy series. If the movie is successful, you can even disassemble the characters and shoot a separate movie.


    Of course, now is not the right time. The game has not yet come out, epic themes continue to appear one after another, and will bring relative aesthetic fatigue, if you shoot in a short time, it will undoubtedly increase the risk of failure. It''s better to wait for Blizzard Entertainment to launch this game first. Their plan is to start commercial operations in the first half of the year, but with the tradition of Blizzard''s ticket skipping, it would be nice to achieve this goal in the second half.


    In the past few years, the Vivendi Group from France has always wanted to acquire Blizzard Entertainment, until after they bought Universal Pictures heavily. Only gradually gave up this plan, and with the full recovery of the IT industry, Blizzard Entertainment, whether in terms of performance or the Nasdaq stock market. The performance is extremely good.


    This rising star is moving towards the ranks of the top gaming giants.


    After shooting "Argo", Ryan is relatively less busy. There is no need to shoot every day, and a lot of practice during breaks to find the feeling of the role.


    And the time before Christmas is not only the hot schedule for movies, but also the most active time period for Hollywood celebrities. Pull-ups, premieres, public relations parties and charity events are constantly being held. It is simply dizzying and gives the media a lot of news that can be written.


    As one of the most well-known and richest people in Hollywood. Ryan also inevitably participates in some activities, except for the premiere of old friends. Naturally, they will donate generously at the charity auction.


    "Tiffany Pink Diamond Necklace, the reserve price is 1 million US dollars!" The auctioneer in formal attire briefly introduced the next lot and shouted vigorously.


    This is a charity auction held by the Hollywood Business Association at the Four Seasons Hotel. Unlike charity dinners convened by individuals, many businesses have responded to this activity to rescue hungry children in Africa. Some luxury brands have also put up some classic works for auction.


    On the table left in the front row, Taylor, in a purple evening dress, approached and muttered a few words, Ryan raised the number plate.


    "Mr. Jenkins bid 1.5 million dollars!"


    "Is there anyone increasing the fare?"


    The auctioneer yelled twice, but no one raised the placard again and dropped the hammer directly, "Thank you Mr. Jenkins for giving generously to the poor children in Africa."


    Ryan smiled and nodded slightly.


    "It''s so boring."


    Different from the appearance of good manners, Taylor leaned in front of Ryan and whispered, "It''s not like an auction at all, and there are no people competing."


    "My dear." Ryan laughed. "Isn''t it all about charity auctions."


    Soon, someone sent the packaged pink diamond necklace. After Tyler put it away, Ryan waved his hand, and John on the table behind sent a check.


    "This is your birthday present."


    After the other party left, Ryan stopped taking care of the auctions below, and whispered, "Let''s open it."


    Tyler opened it and took a look, and quickly put it into the bag on one side, "Thank you, my dear brother."


    The auction lasted for more than half an hour and raised a total of more than 23 million US dollars in charity. As for how much help the money can bring to the African region, it is not what people in the banquet hall care about.


    The auction is only part of the dinner. In fact, this kind of charity party will definitely evolve into a social party in the end.


    After contributing a check, Ryan has also fulfilled the purpose of this trip. Faced with the people who came to say hello in succession, he simply chose to leave early.


    After leaving the Four Seasons Hotel, the latest customized Rolls-Royce Phantom has been waiting at the door of the hotel.


    After getting in the car, Ryan asked Tyler who was sitting next to him, "Are you going home?"


    "Go to your manor." The girl took out the necklace she had just photographed from her bag, tried it on briefly, and put it away again, "I always receive a lot of gifts every year."


    "In a few years, you will have no privileges." Ryan gestured to the rearview mirror, Rolls-Royce headed towards Beverly Hills, and he raised the baffle, "You will Being in love, having a boyfriend, these have become his privileges."


    "Oh okay¡­¡­"


    Tyler whispered in a low voice, her bright sapphire blue eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, she turned her head, put her chin on her hand and looked out of the car, silently saying no more.


    "Did something happen?" Ryan couldn''t help being a little strange.


    "No¡­¡­"


    The girl shook her head vigorously and turned back slowly, "I just think that time is really fast. I grow up and you are getting old."


    "Growing old?" Ryan rubbed his face subconsciously, "Honey, isn''t it that serious?"


    He knew that as he got older, Taylor would inevitably have his own thoughts and secrets that he didn''t want to share with others, so he stopped asking, and simply said to himself, "I''m only twenty-four years old."


    According to the psychological age, he is indeed old enough, but he has always maintained a young enough heart so that he can have the greatest vitality and motivation.


    "But when I am twenty years old, you will indeed grow old." Taylor returned to his original appearance.


    After speaking, she laughed herself first, and Ryan flicked her forehead lightly, and when she caused the girl to wrinkle her nose, she also laughed.


    Every year before Christmas, Taylor¡¯s birthday party is the most important party, and this year is no exception. After gathering all family and friends and organizing a lively party for her, the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has arrived.


    This movie was specially selected to hold its premiere at Disneyland. This is also the first movie premiere in Disneyland¡¯s history. Legendary pirates from the Caribbean have become the theme of Los Angeles Disneyland on December 19 .


    "I can imagine that after the film is successful..."


    While standing in front of the huge poster for a photo, Jerry Bruckheimer looked at the Pirates of the Caribbean rides being rebuilt, and said to Ryan, "There will definitely be a large number of people flocking into Disneyland."


    "It''s better than they actually go to the Caribbean as pirates."


    After the group photo was over, Ryan shrugged and walked towards the Grand Theater first, and continued to follow Jerry Bruckheimer, "As long as the movie can meet our expectations, Pirates of the Caribbean will become another Disney signature. ."


    "Although I would like to say that the movie is really great."


    Jerry Bruckheimer was still a little worried, and gestured and said, "You know, Ryan, a pirate-themed movie... what a painful lesson it has for us."


    "This is not a traditional pirate movie." Ryan shook hands with Geoffrey Rush, who reached out, nodded to him, and asked to the side, "Jerry, I heard that Michael went to film DreamWorks." Science fiction?"


    "Yes He nodded and followed Ryan''s pace. "A movie about clones, your friend, Scarlett Johansson is the heroine. "


    "Escape from the Clone Island" is about to appear, and DreamWorks is not far from being finished.


    "I really want to continue working with Michael."


    After entering the Disney Dream Theater, Ryan and Jerry Bruckheimer sat next to each other, "It seems we can only wait for this movie."


    "Oh?" Jerry Bruckheimer asked with interest, "Can you know what the subject matter is?"


    "Hasbro''s toy." Ryan gestured with his hands deformed.


    "Transformers?"


    "Yes!" Ryan nodded, and then said, "Michael is a very suitable director candidate. He is a genius when it comes to shooting explosive and visually striking shots."


    Of course, don''t add complicated emotional dramas and reflections. ()

 Chapter 606： Fate-changing movie

    Captain Jack Sparrow who appears on the screen seems to be in trouble wherever he goes. Fortunately, Captain Jack can always maintain an open mind, even if the Black Pearl is snatched by Barbosa. When the British army caught it, he would just say,''You almost caught the great Captain Jack Sparrow. ?. x. ¡¯


    Seeing the wind is Jack Sparrow¡¯s best skill. He has never been a tough screen hero. The clever Jack Sparrow always makes people love and hate. He is good at mediating with all parties at critical junctures. From the ever-changing situation, he unearthed factors that are beneficial to him.


    The iconic sissy, orchid fingers and twisted catwalk make Jack Sparrow different from any pirate image in Hollywood movies, but as impressive as Captain Hook, but seeing Jack Sparrow in the movie Palo, no one would say that he is a real sissy, because the great Captain Sparrow gives people the feeling that they will never be defeated or overwhelmed.


    As an aspiring pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow has a clear goal and does not waste energy on secondary matters. From the beginning of the film, he has been chasing the Black Pearl. His ultimate meaning is to be that ship. The captain of the favorite pirate ship! What kind of person is the real Captain Jack? He once made up a beautiful legend. According to the legend, he lurked in the sea for three days and three nights until the creatures in the water got used to his existence. He caught a lot of sea turtles at once and tied them together with a rope to make something similar to a bamboo raft, and then leisurely left the island where he was imprisoned.


    Unexpectedly, this legend that can''t stand scrutiny spread like wildfire, and is still widely spread among pirates. Quoted as a beautiful talk. Only the terrifyingly realistic William Turner broke this beauty with a sentence¡ªwhat did he use to make the rope¡ªand forced Jack to tell the truth about the cruel, he was a rope tied with a dead man¡¯s hair. ...


    Whether "Pirates of the Caribbean" will become a classic is hard to say. But Jack Sparrow will definitely become a unique image that cannot be erased in the history of pirate movies. Of course, shooting the trilogy together will leave enough suspense for the next sequel.


    In addition to the various props about David Jones on the Black Pearl, at the moment of the final battle, Barbosa¡¯s words also opened up Jack Sparrow¡¯s old scars, a heavy debt-thirteen years ago , Jack Sparrow made a deal with David Jones. Exchange of soul for the position of captain of the "Black Pearl", the time limit is thirteen years. After thirteen years, he must surrender his soul and become a crew member of David Jones on the "Flying Dutchman".


    At the end of the film, the undead monkey took another cursed gold coin on the island of death. This caused the entire ship to be cursed again and laid the groundwork for the resurrection of Captain Barbossa.


    The premiere held in Disneyland was well received by the audience and the media. Although a successful premiere may not bring a big-selling movie, it is always a good start.


    Pirate movies have fallen for too long. Whether it is a pirate in the sea or a pirate in space, all that has been left over the years is failure.


    After the premiere, the media and Hollywood are watching the movie closely, wanting to see whether the pirates made by Ryan can change this situation.


    If Ryan, who has created movie commercial miracles one after another, can''t save this series, then the pirate theme will probably disappear completely in Hollywood movies.


    This is the view of many people.


    There are people who like Ryan and those who hate Ryan, but no one denies his achievements in film commercialization.


    Disney also watched this movie. If "Pirates of the Caribbean" succeeds, it will not only have an impact on the film, but also their amusement park...


    After all, the box office is the most important measure of the success of commercial films. If even the most basic audience cannot be guaranteed, the sales of various peripherals can be imagined.


    The film was screened in three theaters on the first day, and only received 1.73 million US dollars, which is not particularly outstanding; on the second day, the number of theaters increased by about one, and the box office soared to 360,000 US dollars; on the third day it was. On the last day of the week, with the support of good reputation, the film ushered in a single-day box office explosion-60,000 US dollars.


    On the first Wednesday, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" won more than 670,000 US dollars in the box office in North America. Although it is incomparable with the super commercial blockbusters that have exceeded 100 million in recent years, the pirate-type movie last When did you get good results?


    It''s so far away that many people can''t remember it.


    "A Ryan Jenkins and a Captain Jack Sparrow have refreshed the ancient art of pirates."


    In addition to praising Johnny Depp¡¯s performance, media comments attributed the success of this film to Ryan, who believed that he had brought a pirate film that was completely different from the traditional sense, and this Movies have contributed a lot to Disney.


    "Dazzling and unpretentious are all its successes. It surpasses the level we expected. Ryan has given a new image of pirates, and at the same time, it is a good start for Disney to continue to expand its theme of paradise."


    Of course, the best evaluation of this typical commercial film in the mouths of professionals is nothing more than fun, good, and unexpected surprises. It is obviously impossible to expect them to look at such a fun-filled film without the so-called artistic perspective. .


    Even Roger Albert commented on Jeffrey Rush and Johnny Depp''s performances in which they can be called "world-class fools"!


    This famous film critic, who had only undergone surgery because of a tumor, didn¡¯t watch the entire movie. Maybe only his doctor would know, or maybe he hadn¡¯t been in a theater, and no one could force a cancer patient to be in the theater. Sit for as long as two hours.


    Unfortunately, with the advent of the Internet age, his influence has long been weaker than before.


    Johnny Depp¡¯s performance has been unanimously sought after by fans. Roger Albert¡¯s world-class stupid performance has become the object of imitation by many young people. The water cup printed with the image of Captain Jack Sparrow, Dolls and cultural shirts have become best-selling products in the market.


    In the second week including Christmas, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" still won more than ten thousand US dollars in the box office in North America. In this period of alternating between the old and the new, pirates were set off. Agitation.


    In particular, the Pirates of the Caribbean project, which has been transformed into Disneyland, was overcrowded with tourists for a while.


    In the following period of time, the film maintained a good attendance rate. Although the box office continued to decline, the North American box office successfully exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars a month after it was released.


    Although the movie is still far from the next stage, the success seems unstoppable. With the role of Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp completely got rid of the half-red and not-purple state. There is a trend of aspiring first-line superstars, Orlando Blue. The popular niche, Mu, once again made a successful male vase, and Elizabeth Swan, the pure vase role, also became popular with Keira Knightley.


    As the cumulative box office of the film is getting higher and higher, the big sales are inevitable. The three main actors restarted negotiations with Disney. According to the supplementary terms of the agreement signed at the beginning, Disney will also make appropriate decisions based on the film¡¯s subsequent box office performance. Increase their share amount.


    In the Oscar nomination list announced in late January, this film also brought a best actor nomination for Johnny Depp, but it is a nomination, it is impossible to win.


    And Miss Keira Knightley, who was not nominated, not only said that she would not participate in the Oscar awards ceremony, but also called the Oscar red carpet a "dog catwalk" in an interview with the media...


    This kind of remarks triggered unanimous condemnation from the media. She offended not only the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but also a large number of people who participated in the Oscars. Since then, she can only gradually move away from the mainstream Hollywood film circle and want to get The recognition of the Oscar awards requires more effort and cost than others Everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous, but being young and frivolous is not a reason to speak up.


    Some things can be done, but not said; and some things, not only do not say, it is best not to do it.


    Two months after the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the North American box office successfully surpassed 300 million US dollars. This was a very attractive piece of news, but it was eclipsed by another movie. The other party caused the entire North America from film critics to the public. , Wide attention from Hollywood to the media, and even an uproar.


    Just halfway through the middle of April, the controversial "Passion of the Christ" was rejected by a large number of film companies. Mel Gibson finally found the distributor of New Market Films and successfully released the film. Advance the major theaters in North America.


    Whether such a controversial movie can attract the audience, the answer is yes. The box office of "Passion of the Christ" reached more than 80,000 US dollars in the first week. Compared with the production cost of 30,000 US dollars, it has achieved great commercial success. .


    But this film completely changed the fate of Mel Gibson. He felt the pressure of a mountain when he mentioned the film when it was released. )()

 Chapter 607： I want to kill them

    "I have been preparing for the filming of "The Passion of the Christ" for at least ten years. Deep down in my heart, I desperately want to tell the story of this biographical religion in the form of a movie. Belief. Everyone will have their own beliefs, and it¡¯s great to be able to do something for their beliefs."


    In the TV screen, Mel Gibson is being interviewed by a program of Columbia TV. The topic is of course the "Passion of the Christ" that has caused great controversy in North America recently. "From preparations, manuscripts to scripts, to fundraising and filming. , Post-production, and strive for distribution. For this third film I directed, I put a lot of effort into it."


    "I like to photograph the essence of the crucifixion of Jesus. I am completely loyal to history. Christ was severely beaten, carrying the cross and going forward, hands and feet nailed to the cross." He added, "Christ has become a human being, and we have become murderers... "The Passion of the Christ" is the greatest heroic story of all time, the greatest adventure story, and the greatest love story."


    "He makes me feel sick!"


    Sitting in front of the TV, Natalie made no secret of her disgust, and said to Ryan who was sitting next to her, "This is the most disgusting movie I have ever seen!"


    She looked at Ryan. He had the same blood as herself, but his sense of identity was far not as strong as her own.


    Ryan just shook Natalie''s hand comfortingly. As early as when Mel Gibson brought the movie to Disney, he was rejected by him. Frankly speaking, he didn''t think the current controversy had anything to do with him. How big is the relationship? Just be a spectator on the sidelines. If the major film companies don¡¯t wait to see Mel Gibson in the future, it¡¯s okay to be consistent with them.


    Of course, Ryan never denies that Jewish descent has indeed given him a lot of convenience. He has even become an important member of the Hollywood Jewish Circle and the National Jewish Association.


    This is no secret at all, so all he needs to do is to keep in line with the major Jewish organizations.


    The interview on TV continues.


    When the host asked whether the film would offend the Jews, Mel Gibson replied, "It doesn¡¯t mean that, I just want to tell the truth. I want to make it as faithful as possible. However, when you think about the reason why Christ came to the world He was crucified¡ªsacrificing for all. Suffering for all. So, really, those who made mistakes should remember their own part in the crucifixion of **** and the mistakes they made."


    But when the host asked why the segment of Caiaphas, the Jewish high priest, was deleted, his answer turned out to be, "If I don''t do this, they will definitely chase me to my home and kill me! "


    As for who they are referring to. Presumably all audiences will understand.


    Maybe I think Mel Gibson¡¯s words are a bit overdone. Monica Bellucci, who has been silent in this movie, said suddenly, "The first thing "The Passion of the Christ" brings to the audience is the visual As an actor, I like controversial things, but I don¡¯t understand why this film has been controversial from the beginning. It¡¯s not an anti-Semitic movie, we all know it was killed by the Romans. **** Christ. Not the Jews."


    Mel Gibson went on to say, "My film is about faith, hope, love, and forgiveness. It''s about the sacrifice **** made for us. It''s not about who killed Jesus. It''s not about anyone. Go and bear the responsibility of Jesus'' death!"


    "Jesus was flogged because of human injustice, he was wounded because of the crimes we committed, and he suffered harm for us, so that we can be forgiven."


    "If someone doesn''t like this kind of cruelty, or the plot in the movie, then you don''t want to watch it. If you go but feel unbearable, then you can leave midway."


    He suddenly stood up, "No one will force you to watch!"


    The Australian movie star showed his unruly side, and after speaking, he went straight to the backstage.


    Ryan turned off the TV, pulled up Natalie and said, "The time is almost up, don''t forget, you have an appointment with Scarlett to play tennis, don''t worry about these things."


    There is an outdoor tennis court in the villa Scarlett bought. The two of them changed into sportswear, opened the back door, passed the other side door, and entered Scarlett Johansson¡¯s house. There was still a distance between them and they saw two. The blonde girls are competing on the tennis court.


    Taylor is tall and long, not bad in strength, and occasionally practice. Scarlett is not her opponent at all. She is often yelled and irritated by some tricky ball returns, and her vigorous ball returns are not flying into the field. Outside, it is at the bottom of the net.


    "Why do you grow so tall?"


    Leaning on the tennis racket, Scarlett bent over and panted, and shouted at Taylor, who was already five feet nine inches tall opposite, "Alison, have you taken the heightening agent? You have grown so much this year!"


    "Dear Scarlett."


    After beckoning to Ryan and Natalie who were sitting on the sidelines, Taylor made a few consecutive bounce movements, "You can only look up at me from now on, hurry up and serve!"


    "I won''t fight you anymore."


    Picking up the racket, Scarlett walked over to the rest area and sat behind Natalie. She took the energy drink and drank a big sip, "Nat, it¡¯s so difficult for this guy. Dealt it."


    "Ok."


    Natalie took off her sports jacket, threw it to Ryan, chose one from a bunch of rackets, and walked onto the tennis court.


    She is not good at sports, and the level of tennis is not much higher than Scarlett, but Taylor treats her completely different from Scarlett. Most of the time, the two are playing stalemate rounds.


    "This guy knows to bully me."


    Listening to Scarlett Johansson''s muttering, Ryan couldn''t help but looked at her curiously, then looked at Taylor who was standing up to serve, and then shook his head.


    "This is my gift to you, Ryan."


    Looking at the Gatorade that was handed over, Ryan took it and unscrewed the lid and took a sip, "The taste doesn''t seem to be different, Scarlett."


    "Because there is my sincerity and sincerity in it." She followed the golden ponytail behind her head and laughed.


    To get the Oscar nomination for Best Actress and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Drama, Scarlett knows the reason for her mother¡¯s hard work, and more importantly, the support from Ryan. At this age, she can get this. Honor, looking at all Hollywood, how many actresses can do it?


    Even though there is a younger person on the Oscar best actress nomination list, Scarlett is very satisfied.


    "Ryan, what do you think of "The Passion of the Christ"?" Scarlett''s words turned to a recent hot topic. "Yesterday a reporter asked me my opinion on this matter, but I didn''t say anything."


    "Silence, don''t express your opinions casually." Ryan said the safest way, after all, Scarlett Johansson is also Jewish.


    His methods and ideas are very straightforward and simple. As long as the dirty water does not affect his person, he will be a bystander.


    Hollywood producers have always been in reality. They don¡¯t believe in ghosts and gods but only in money. If "The Passion of the Christ" gets a high box office, Mel Gibson will no longer make excessive moves. In the future, someone will still wave a check to find him for a new shoot. movie of.


    You know, in less than a week, the North American copies of this film have increased from more than 2,500 to more than 4,000. Distributors and theater operators simply ignore the voices of protest in the face of huge interests.


    Of course, if Mel Gibson says something that touches the bottom line of mainstream society, the experience of the previous life will definitely come.


    Mel Gibson is not a fool. He was interviewed by Columbia TV and wanted to clarify some of the situation and win the support of mainstream media. Even if he had some ideas deep in his heart, he would not say it with a clear head, but this Always impulsive after drinking.


    But the media and most Jewish groups didn''t care about what he explained, and all kinds of criticisms could only be described as overwhelming.


    Just after Mel Gibson was interviewed and came out of Columbia TV, the demonstrators who were besieged here were splashed with a bucket of sheep''s blood. The situation was terrible.


    Even if Mel Gibson looks very pitiful in blood, the media will never let him go.


    "By using the straightforward description of the Roman event to incite the emotions of the audience, Mel Gibson made salvation and art disappear..." The Los Angeles Times rarely warned with a front-page comment that the film would''provoke the public to oppose the Jews.''


    The front page news of the "New York Times", one of the three major newspapers, called "The Passion of the Christ" a violent and anti-Semitic movie, and described it with words such as "strange, barbaric, and narcissistic."


    The mainstream media¡¯s attitude is very clear, and it is unceremonious to say that this film has caused a ¡®culture war¡¯ in North America.


    Even even Pearson, the chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, expressed his disgust with the film in an interview.


    ¡®Children should not be allowed to watch this film, and even adults should not take risks. "The Passion of the Christ" is the most vicious anti-Jewish film after the German Catholic Church''s film about World War II. "


    Pearson described the film as "disgusting" and "cruel". He felt that for ordinary audiences, the film was not so much entertainment as an anti-Semitic propaganda tool, saying that "Jews are in a two-hour and seven-minute movie. The movies are constantly slandered and insulted."


    The topic of "The Passion of the Christ" is not only limited to the field of entertainment news, and has become the focus of everyone in the American society. Major Jewish organizations in North America, including the National Jewish Association, agreed that "The Passion of the Christ" was inciting Anti-Semitism led to massive protests.


    In the face of the overwhelming wave of criticism, Mel Gibson fully demonstrated his unruly side. In an interview with The New Yorker, he expressed his anger at the New York Times and Los Angeles Times two Jewish journalists. .


    "I want to kill them, pick out their intestines, and kill their dogs together!" (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 608： There is a situation behind

    In fact, looking at the performance of the North American media decades after the end of World War II, you will find that in some major events, the mainstream media has always maintained amazing consistency. Although the mainstream media in North America looks on the surface, most of the shares are scattered in the hands of many people. , But it has been deeply influenced by Jews or Jewish descent.


    Anti-Semitism is the same as racial discrimination. You can think about it or discuss it in private, but if you express it openly in some way, you must be prepared for the storm.


    Maybe this film is just a hype deliberately incited by Mel Gibson, but the Jews in North America don¡¯t think so. They will be wary of any blatant opposition to the Jews.


    Moreover, Mel Gibson''s private views on Jews are not too secret.


    Here he opened fire on two well-known Jewish journalists, and over there, the media dug up the old bottom of him and his family.


    "Washington Post" published some disgraceful things about Mel Gibson''s father, Gibson, in a prominent position. In an interview, he denied the existence of the World War II Jewish Holocaust and called himself a Nazist...


    As for Mel Gibson himself, he also has a bad record in this regard. When he was young, he had participated in a right-wing organization coalition of the interests of the University of Australia, and that coalition was a famous extremist group; after he came to Hollywood, he also failed to constrain and funded. A traditionally divided Catholic church in the Los Angeles area, and the purpose of this sect is to''purge the Jews who killed Jesus''.


    The media''s remarks also stimulated major Jewish groups in North America. Some angry Jews gathered outside the theater to protest. Some even wore the jews'' prison uniforms in the Nazi concentration camps. Some Jewish lawmakers even suggested that the film should be blocked.


    Although I never thought that this movie was related to me, Ryan received a lot of calls within a few days. Among them were Hollywood traditional Jewish people represented by Pearson and Spielberg. Power, there is also a Jewish group from Wall Street. There are also some representatives of the National Jewish Association.


    In an area with commercial freedom like North America, it is almost impossible to force a movie that is being released to be downgraded. How to suppress the rising anti-Semitism is the focus of their concern.


    After hundreds of years of public relations and hard work, the Jews have established a huge and intricate force on this land, and they will never allow anyone to shake their foundation.


    Things are very simple to say, Mel Gibson touched the sensitive nerves of the Jews, so you have to bear the consequences.


    Although deep down in my heart, I didn''t think it was true, and what was turning in my mind was my shit, but Ryan still verbally expressed that he would stand with all the Jews in North America.


    Anyway. He is one of the most famous Jewish people in the United States, and a purely Jewish lover.


    The protests now are just the beginning. After "The Passion of the Christ" is down and the topic gradually cools down, it must be a tough life for Mel Gibson.


    Speaking of which, Mel Gibson is rebellious and has a bad temper. He still has a big mouth after drinking, even in the circle of Australian actors. But there is no conflict of interest with Ryan. If it is not against the interests of his class, he will only treat the other side as a passerby.


    When a person enjoys the benefits that identity can bring, he must fulfill his corresponding obligations. This is the simplest truth.


    Of course, for now, Ryan will not put too much energy into this kind of thing. There are a lot of tasks that need to be handled by him within Disney alone.


    "What kind of benefits can the right movie bring to the group?"


    I looked down at the dark night sky outside the conference room. Ryan put his hands on the conference table, his eyes turned to many Disney executives, "After "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released in North America and around the world. The number of visitors to our amusement park increased by 70%, of which More than 80% of them were influenced by the Pirates of the Caribbean, and after these people entered, they not only played the Pirates of the Caribbean project..."


    He tapped the table lightly, adding to his tone, "When most tourists left, they also bought more than one souvenir related to Pirates of the Caribbean, and all of our merchandise sales have soared."


    "In the past two months, sales of other types of peripheral products have increased by 40%." Robert Iger, who presided over the meeting, added.


    Ryan nodded to him and continued the topic just now, "So, making movies or cartoons closely linked to Disney will be our next focus."


    "But our traditional movies are based on various fairy tales."


    Roy Disney, as a lifelong consultant, expressed his opinion at this time, "and these fairy tales have been made into movies or cartoons by us more than once."


    "If there is no innovation, there is a huge risk of remakes."


    Taking off her glasses, Nicole gently rubbed the corners of her eyes. Her words were approved by many people, "It is true."


    "Ryan, your animal version of "Prince''s Revenge" succeeded." Roy Disney said of the "Lion King" of the year, "and our "Romeo and Juliet" failed."


    Many people''s eyes are on Ryan. After all, his creativity in movies seems endless, and after these movies are operated through the entire industry chain of the Disney Group, the profits will be maximized.


    If the classic fairy tale movies with Disney traditions can be re-interpreted, the benefits that can be brought will be significantly greater.


    They all have such confidence, because although the financial report last year has not been announced to the public, it is not a secret to everyone present.


    Walt Disney¡¯s operating income in 2003 reached more than 38 billion 63 million U.S. dollars, and its net profit exceeded 4.9 billion U.S. dollars. In 2002, the two figures were more than 26 billion U.S. dollars and 3.3 billion U.S. dollars, respectively.


    After a year of integration and internal digestion in 2002, the effects of the mergers and acquisitions of Pixar Studios, Jenkins Pictures and Marvel Comics became apparent.


    Among them, most of the movies and peripherals that bring huge income to Disney have an inseparable relationship with Ryan.


    Even some people are still considering that if Ryan hadn''t sold the copyrights of "Mission Impossible" and "Terminator", Disney''s revenue might have been even greater.


    Fortunately, they now also have their own special agent series. Although "The Bourne" adapted from "Bourne''s Identity" is not a super-sell, its profitability is considerable compared to investment, and it can be built. Into a series.


    They believed that if Ryan said so, he must have a general idea.


    "We can repackage and interpret those familiar fairy tales."


    Ryan turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on John Lasseter, "For example, "Rapunzel" that the animation department just approved."


    Most people don''t know that Disney Animation Studios has already started a 3D animation feature film, and they don''t know the specific content. Ryan didn''t mean to sell it, so I went on to say it.


    "Let''s put it this way, we can use movies to interpret traditional fairy tales in another way."


    "Isn''t it a spoof like "Shrek"?" Someone said worriedly when Ryan stopped to drink water.


    Putting down the coffee cup, Ryan smiled and shook his head, "Of course it won''t be like that, it doesn''t fit the style of Disney movies."


    Many people who come here are the heads of the creative team and the editing team, and their ears have long been pricked up.


    "Just give a few examples." Ryan didn''t make them wait for a long time. "For example, Sleeping Beauty, the person who kisses the princess does not have to be the prince, but also the witch; and the ice queen, the prince may not be in love with the princess. Instead, she might want to take this to annex her kingdom...Well, even the traditional Snow White, with the help of hunters, might personally defeat the evil queen."


    These principles are not complicated, but for the Disney creators who are bound by tradition, they have opened up their thinking from another aspect. Although some of them may not be suitable for the current social environment, they have also broken a thin barrier. Even if the fairy tale is not spoofed, it can be re-interpreted from another angle.


    What Ryan gave was only inspiration. Disney¡¯s creative department spent most of the time immersed in various fairy tales. As long as they had the right thinking, they were the most suitable candidates to adapt the script.


    When the meeting was over and leaving the Disney headquarters building, it was close to midnight. When entering the parking lot, Nicole graciously got into his car. After Ryan closed the door, the black Rolls-Royce was in the front and rear bodyguards. Accompanied by, he drove out of the underground parking lot.


    Although Burbank¡¯s nightlife has just begun, the number of vehicles on the road has decreased significantly, but the drivers are still paying attention.


    Because this is Burbank, the famous media and entertainment capital, there are countless little stars who are drunk at night and drive crazy and poor driving skills.


    Every month, there are always a dozen stars in Los Angeles who cause traffic accidents due to drunk driving.


    After turning a few turns the car went all the way south, and the speed gradually increased, maintaining a safe distance between the three cars.


    "Have you reached an agreement on the Passion of the Christ?". Inside the car, Nicole asked Ryan seriously.


    "For the time being, I will apply pressure through the media." Ryan just raised her finger, and Nicole had already leaned over to help him rub his forehead, and said at the same time, "Don''t worry about our thoughts. We don''t like him. He is very popular. ."


    Sniffing the scent from Nicole''s body, Ryan nodded slightly. He understood that Nicole was saying that Mel Gibson was also unpopular in the Australian gang.


    "Ryan, fasten your seat belt! There is a situation behind!"


    John''s reminding voice suddenly came from the intercom. Ryan didn''t hesitate to help Nicole fasten his seat belt immediately and buckle his own as quickly as possible.


    Then, he turned his head and looked to the rear, and saw a police car flashing police lights, chasing a Lexus whose speed can only be described as crazy, rushing towards them quickly. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 609： Must pay the price

    There is a speed limit of 50 miles per hour on this section. Ryan estimated from visual observations that the speed of the Lexus may exceed 80 miles per hour, and it continued to rush under the chase of the police car, either relying on it or driving drunk.


    "Make way for that car." Ryan said to John in the front row.


    The bodyguard on the co-pilot immediately notified the bodyguard car behind, such crazy speeding, if there is a collision, it is very likely that the car will be destroyed.


    The convoy immediately drove into the right side of the road and gave way to the fast lane. This kind of police catching speeding and drunk driving scenes are performed in Los Angeles almost every day, and they don''t need to get in.


    After just ten seconds, the Lexus approached the convoy. Under the flashing warning lights, when Ryan looked back, he saw that the Lexus was not only extremely fast, but also the driving route was skewed. I''m afraid The driver drank a lot of alcohol.


    "Be careful!"


    Ryan yelled, and the first reaction was to hold Nicole tightly in his arms.


    That Lexus was like a drunk who was drunk, swaying and passing by the bodyguard car behind, and instantly overtook the black Rolls-Royce, surpassing it dangerously and dangerously.


    During this process, Ryan clearly felt the violent shaking of the car body, and faintly heard the sore rubbing sound. Without looking, he knew that the two cars must have been slightly scratched.


    "!"


    He exploded with an extremely rare **** and immediately looked at Nicole.


    Nicole shook his head and signaled that it was okay, but her pale face looked paler, and her breathing was a little bit quicker.


    "He''s **** it!" Ryan cursed in a low but gloomy voice.


    Although this black Rolls-Royce is strong and heavy enough, but the opponent is so fast, if it really hits it firmly, what will happen?


    The anger rose almost instantly, and the Lexus threatened more than his safety. And Nicole, he swore that he would not let anyone hurt them!


    "I''m fine!"


    Probably sensing the change in Ryan''s mood, Ni could shook his hand vigorously.


    Nodded, Ryan lowered the baffle and looked to the front. Perhaps it was affected by the scratching just now. Lexus''s speed was obviously slower. In this short half-minute, the police car was following behind. Quickly caught up. The speeding car was stopped by the side of the road.


    "James, go over!" Ryan said coldly.


    John in the co-pilot notified the front and rear cars, and the driver reduced the speed. Rolls-Royce turned to the buffer zone and stopped more than 20 feet away from the two cars in front.


    It was not out of Burbank here. The Lexus was stopped near the entrance of a large supermarket. After Ryan got out of the car, he first glanced at his car and saw only the door on the outside. There was a small trace left after the scratch, which was very close to where Nicole was sitting. If it were a collision, the consequences would be disastrous.


    The two bodyguard cars stopped long ago. Several bodyguards surrounded Ryan and Nicole for fear of any accident.


    "Damn it!" Nicole''s face was also covered with anger after seeing the car''s scars.


    "John, call attorney Wilson Jr."


    The wind blowing at night is a bit cool. Ryan opened the car door, took out Nicole''s coat, and put it on her back. He said to another bodyguard, "Look at who it is, and negotiate with the police. We are the victims."


    It is not a smart choice for a group of people to surround the police on duty.


    Therefore, a bodyguard walked towards the two cars in front, exchanged a few words loudly with one of the two policemen, walked back, and whispered a few words to Ryan.


    Ryan couldn''t help frowning, and walked toward the patrol police car. One of the middle-aged white police officers, who should be the sheriff, greeted him with strides.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins."


    "Hello there."


    Holding a squeeze in his hand, Ryan nodded to him, then looked at the familiar face in front of the police car who was being questioned by another police officer, and said, "My lawyer is coming over, and..."


    He pointed to John, "This is my assistant. He has witnessed what happened."


    Ryan stopped talking and handed the incident to John to deal with.


    Carrying a coat, Nicole chased from behind, and while handing it over, she also looked at the driver who was questioning by the police and frowned.


    "Why is he?" She obviously knew each other.


    With Nicole¡¯s assistance and putting on his coat, Ryan¡¯s eyes looking at the police car were very gloomy. Although it was early in the morning, he could naturally recognize the drunk man under the bright street lights and flashing police lights. Hollywood superstar.


    I don''t know how much alcohol the other party has drunk, and he can smell the obvious smell of alcohol at such a distance.


    Is it because there is too much pressure recently? Was criticized by public opinion too violently? Can only use wine to sorrow?


    Just this afternoon, I was still thinking about the movies the other party had made and the situations that were related to my own ass. Unexpectedly, he couldn''t wait to come to the door at night, almost threatening the lives of himself and Nicole.


    "My life is over!"


    Suddenly, Mel Gibson from the police car shouted excitedly, "Did you know? The entire Burbank is my site? I can spend money to easily level you policemen!"


    The drunken Hollywood superstar was obviously overly emotional. The police officer opened the door of the patrol car and wanted him to get in, but Mel Gibson refused to obey, shouting something, and running towards his Lexus, the police officer immediately After chasing him, he subdued the tough guy on the screen in a few strokes, handcuffed him, and pushed him to the patrol car.


    The police officer seemed to be a little jealous of him, and said as he walked, "Mr. Gibson, I hope you can cooperate. Your behavior has endangered the safety of others."


    "The safety of others?" Mel Gibson''s words were full of disdain, and he spit out drunken language, "I have money! I have enough money to settle this matter! Do you know how much money I made? Who is the other person? Where? Isn¡¯t it a question of money..."


    With that said, he looked at John who was talking with another police officer, and felt that he was a bit familiar. He shook his head vigorously, feeling that the bewildered brain stimulated by alcohol was a little more awake and excited.


    "Isn''t it the money issue?" He shouted again after being pushed by the police.


    The unpleasant alcohol and these rude words all floated over and fell in the ears of Ryan and Nicole. Nicole''s face became more and more ugly...


    Ryan patted her arm, and while Mel Gibson was still yelling ¡®money and turf¡¯, he strode past and stopped by the street light about five feet away from the patrol car.


    "Mr. Gibson." Ryan shook his finger at the bodyguard who followed, and only said one sentence, "Do you think I am short of money?"


    There were not many words, and the voice was not as loud as the other party, but it was exceptionally clear.


    After saying this, Ryan turned around and left, not too lazy to look at each other.


    "Ryan Jenkins?"


    Mel Gibson''s slightly surprised voice came from behind, and then the drunken hunk used a louder voice, "You are the **** Jew! The Jews should be responsible for all the wars in the world..."


    Ryan stopped, turned his head slowly, and stared coldly at the drunken Mel Gibson, his soft eyes as sharp as a knife.


    "All those with Jewish ancestry are a bunch of craps!" The Australian movie star seemed to have suffered from this period of time, all through the spirit of alcohol, "If the Jews disappear, there will be no war in this world!"


    After speaking, he asked the policeman behind him, "Are you a Jew?"


    After the other party shook his head, he turned to Ryan''s side, "The Jews will regret everything they did to me..."


    The puckering sound of high heels fell from behind, and Ryan quickly reached out and grabbed Nicole, who was almost in a violent state. The Australian girl was pale with anger, and her pale blue eyes were full of cold ice.


    Firmly squeezing Nicole''s hand, Ryan nodded to Mel Gibson who walked to the side of the patrol car, "Very well, I will remember what you said. I hope you can remember what you said tomorrow."


    The two police officers looked at Ryan, and they glanced at each other, knowing that tonight''s affairs were in trouble, which would inevitably cause an uproar.


    Mel Gibson even made racially discriminatory remarks against Ryan, and if things go out, he will definitely be finished.


    Even if they are not insiders in Hollywood, these two police officers understand this. Maybe being drunk is an excuse?


    However, neither of them were stupid, they looked at each other with tacit understanding, and made the decision to deal with it as openly and fairly as possible, and try not to get involved in it.


    "This matter involves my reputation and personal safety." Ryan remained calm The impulse is of no benefit, "I will follow you to the police station."


    He turned his head to look at Nicole again, and whispered, "Honey, go back first, I don''t think there should be a way to rest tonight."


    "No." Nicole shook her head resolutely, clasping his hands tightly, "I''ll be with you."


    "Ok."


    Ryan looked at the bodyguard behind him again, and the other party made an''ok'' gesture.


    Just as Mel Gibson said the first few sentences with racially discriminatory words, the bodyguard activated his portable recorder. They were all old people around Ryan and knew what to do when.


    Sitting on the Rolls-Royce, which had been scraped off a little, the car followed the patrol car and drove slowly towards the police station in Burbank. While on the road, John notified Lawyer Wilson Jr. The police met, and then made successive calls to the TV station and the Los Angeles Times.


    There are some things you can think about in private, but if you say it publicly, you have to pay the price! (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 610： Refuse to accept an apology

    "Sorry, I will not accept the settlement."


    Although Ryan¡¯s voice is not high, there is no room for negotiation, "Mr. Mel Gibson¡¯s actions endangered the safety of my family and me. His words not only harmed my personal reputation, but were also an insult to all Jews and Jewish people. ."


    Having said that, he stopped and said nothing.


    The morning sun was reflected through the window, and the lounge of the police station was extremely quiet. The lawyer of Mel Gibson, who sat opposite, wanted to say something, but John unceremoniously invited it out.


    "Ryan, what do you want to do?"


    Lawyer Wilson Jr., who had been looking through the documents, raised his head and asked.


    "Do your best."


    Ryan looked at Pie? Jinsli, who had arrived soon, and asked, "What''s the situation outside?"


    "When I came in, there were at least dozens of reporters outside the police station."


    Jinsli, who was sitting in the corner, frowned, "It should be more now."


    "You go and inform them, I will hold a press conference in the news room of Disney headquarters."


    Hearing Ryan''s words, Pai Jinsli nodded and stood up and walked out of the lounge.


    "Let''s go."


    Looking at Nicole¡¯s slightly exhausted delicate face, Ryan pulled her out and walked out of the lounge. The sheriff who was temporarily in charge of the case quickly greeted him and sent him out of the police station all the way. Although he wanted to speak a few times, he saw After Ryan''s gloomy face, he didn''t say anything in the end.


    After Jinsli''s notice, most of the reporters rushed to Disney. Although there were a few paparazzi at the door, they were stopped by the bodyguard. They could only use the flashing lights to watch Ryan get in the car and leave.


    Ryan is not worried about the attitude of the police, even if Mel Gibson claims to be the best friend of all Los Angeles police officers.


    Want a reconciliation? Half of the night passed, and I didn''t even come to apologize in person. Isn''t the wine still awake?


    Moreover. He has endangered Nicole''s safety, and if an apology can be resolved, what should the law and the court do?


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    "This is the TV station, and an important news is inserted below."


    "In the early hours of this morning, a drunk driving accident occurred on the Thirteenth Avenue in Burbank. During this time, Mel Gibson, who was deeply in a whirlpool, smashed into Ryan Jenkins''s vehicle during severe speeding. The car..."


    "In the case of police custody, Mel Gibson made insulting remarks. From a live recording we got, Mel Gibson was suspected of racial discrimination. His words were obviously anti-Semitic."


    Then, the TV station played a live recording, in which Mel Gibson''s iconic loud voice could be heard clearly, but this time he shouted not ¡®¡¯, but obviously racially discriminatory remarks.


    Just before the Oscar was about to take place, the mainstream media began to hype the incident like crazy, and its momentum completely suppressed the Oscar.


    Subsequently, the Los Angeles police held a press conference and also announced the audio and video recordings in the hands of the police. Mel Gibson''s words are invisible.


    What Hollywood makes is their freedom, and this concept of freedom is deeply rooted in North America.


    Although the mainstream media was unanimously criticizing Mel Gibson and The Passion, they could not find a real breakthrough, except for the influence of speech. Nor can it come up with more practical measures.


    Jewish organizations from North America to Israel are increasingly protesting, but there are also people like Roger Albert defending Mel Gibson.


    Now it''s alright, the other party actually said anti-Semitic and racist remarks. The target is still Ryan, who has terrorist influence in the United States. Is there a better chance than now?


    As for whether the other party is drunk or sober, it is not within the scope of consideration. Those words came from Mel Gibson''s mouth.


    The major media have followed up on this incident.


    "Mel Gibson''s foul language and anti-Semitic remarks must be punished accordingly..."


    "Mel Gibson should be taken to court, he used such dirty words to insult a man of integrity and nobleness."


    "It can be seen from the video released by the police that Ryan has always maintained a calm attitude, but Mel Gibson is chattering like crazy. Such a person should be kicked out of Hollywood, and he and his films should also be boycotted. !"


    The mainstream media are all criticizing, but they basically stand on an objective standpoint, because even objective comments are enough to nail Mel Gibson to a pillar of shame.


    The tabloids don''t care about this. They have used more exaggerated methods to report the incident on the basis of ensuring their positions.


    "Why did Mel Gibson hit Ryan with his car? Let''s take a look at the whole thing. He was speeding over eighty miles per hour and drove all the way to catch up with Ryan''s Rolls Royce. He must be embarrassed. The purpose of the complaint, but because Ryan''s driver is superb and the car is strong enough, Mel Gibson did not succeed!"


    "According to reliable information we got, Mel Gibson deliberately ran into Ryan¡¯s car. He probably wanted to vent pressure from Jewish groups in this way, and even wanted to murder a famous Jewish descent. Come to warn those who criticize him..."


    Fighting down dogs has always been something the media like to do, not to mention that these media are deeply influenced by Jewish forces.


    Subsequently, anti-racism organizations in the Los Angeles area and a large number of Jews gathered in front of the Burbank Police Station to launch a massive anti-discrimination campaign.


    The next day, Mel Gibson, after paying $50,000 in bail, walked out of the Burbank Police Station, but was restricted from leaving the greater Los Angeles area.


    Just after he got out of the police station, he was splashed with blood by some radical Jews.


    The unruly Australian movie star completely woke up from his drunken state and understood that he was in great trouble. Soon after bail, he called a press conference and issued a public statement.


    "When I was arrested, I was like a person who was completely out of control and said something that I didn''t think was true and contemptible. I was ashamed of what I said and apologized to anyone I had offended."


    He said in the statement that he couldn''t believe that he had said that, and put the blame on alcohol. "I have no intention of targeting Mr. Jenkins. Since adulthood, I have been fighting against the disease of alcoholism. I am drunk. I apologize for any behavior that does not conform to my own status in the state, and have taken necessary measures to ensure the restoration of health."


    The reporters in the audience replied that he was all boos.


    For them, the bigger the incident, the better. As for which side they want to stand on, they don''t have to make a choice at all.


    As early as his teenage years, Ryan firmly chose his own position. Facing the current situation, it is a must to stay in line with the Jewish forces in North America.


    Besides, the other party threatened Nicole''s personal safety.


    The last person who endangered Nicole is now playing all kinds of heavy flavors in the San Fernando Valley.


    Later, Pai Jinsli made a public response to Mel Gibson¡¯s apology on his behalf, saying that the other party¡¯s apology was insincere and refused to accept it.


    "Mr. Gibson¡¯s actions endangered the safety of me and my family. His words offended not only me, but my entire ethnic group. Every adult must be responsible for his words and actions. The law will deal with this. A fair ruling was made in this incident."


    In short, Ryan''s meaning is very simple and straightforward. See you in court if you have anything.


    In a beach villa in Malibu, Mel Gibson sat dull on the sofa, and loud protests from outside the door made him even more upset.


    How should things be resolved? This is the problem that bothers him most now.


    At the same time, he cursed himself as an **** in his heart. Although he did not like Jews, why did he go to provoke the least ought to?


    With Ryan Jenkins'' wealth and ability, as well as his reputation and status in Hollywood, I am afraid that the entire Hollywood and even the United States are on the other side. Even the media from Australia are criticizing themselves, disregarding the affection of their compatriots. .


    If time can be reversed, he must hide as far as he can after seeing Ryan Jenkins.


    It''s too late now, Mel Gibson regrets it very much, and a little bit of fear.


    One''s own acting career is likely to end there, and you may even face jail, racial discrimination and endangering public safety. Once such a crime is convicted...


    "Bly, if it really enters the prosecution stage..."


    Mel Gibson looked at the lawyer who had been silent since he arrived, "What is our chance of winning?"


    "Up to half."


    Blair Polk, the famous Hollywood lawyer, raised his eyes and said directly, "Mr. Gibson, I am not here to discuss the case with you this time, but..."


    He hesitated, and finally resolutely said, "To terminate our employment relationship, if this incident enters the litigation stage, I will not appear in court on your behalf."


    After speaking, he stood up, ready to leave.


    "You can''t do this, Bly!" Mel Gibson also stood up, his face extremely gloomy.


    "We didn''t sign any agreement on this case." Blair Polk just glanced at the other person and strode out of the door. "Be sober, Mr. Gibson, your opponent this time is not the little Hollywood stars. And the producer, he is Ryan Jenkins! You have no chance to win. Judging from the current situation, he will not give you a chance. No well-known lawyer is willing to accept a case that is bound to lose, and no one wants to offend one for you. Super rich."


    Blair Polk strode away from Mel Gibson¡¯s villa. No one does not know the influence of Ryan Jenkins. Mel Gibson will pay the price for his remarks, and even endanger the survival of the entertainment industry, even if he has already Is one of the richest directors and movie stars in Hollywood. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 611： Ladens videotape

    "Although there have been people ostracizing our group."


    Ryan looked at George Lucas and Steven Spielberg and other famous Jewish people in Hollywood, and said seriously, "But no one can deny the influence of our group. We must show our power. , Let those people understand that Jews can''t offend casually."


    This is a party belonging to a Jewish organization in Hollywood. It is not someone who is at the top of the industry. The focus of today''s topic is of course Mel Gibson''s remarks.


    "Yes, we absolutely cannot give in on this matter."


    The person who took Ryan¡¯s words was Summer Redstone. Mel Gibson did not offend Ryan, but the interests of the entire class. ¡°Viacom and any company under Paramount will not be in conflict with May. Gibson will do any more cooperation."


    His words were echoed by many senior Hollywood studios.


    Raising a glass to these people, Ryan understood that Mel Gibson was dead in Hollywood.


    It¡¯s not only Ryan who knows this, but Mel Gibson himself. He knew he was in a crisis and hired a crisis public relations expert at a high price. He wanted to save his public image and try to avoid this incident from going into law. program.


    Just after he heard that Ryan had attended a Jewish gathering, he issued a public apology again.


    In the statement, he said, "I want to apologize specifically to the Jewish community for those harsh words. Please believe that from the bottom of my heart, I am not an anti-Semitic or a religious stubborn. Any hatred is contrary to my beliefs. Many Jewish people The group does not want to have any relationship with me. I can understand it, but I pray that this door will never be closed."


    Only this time he still believes that this is the result of alcohol, saying that he will be admitted to a rehabilitation center in the next few weeks, respecting the 12-step treatment of the Alcoholics Mutual Ordination Society, and requesting the Jewish group that he personally offended. Help him complete the journey of recovery.


    If these statements were issued earlier, it might affect the views of some people. However, in the last few days, the phone calls between Ryan and major Jewish groups have not stopped. In addition to the holding of this party, Hollywood¡¯s Jewish The forces have reached an agreement, and the National Jewish Association will support Hollywood''s approach.


    Not to mention the speech that affected the entire Jewish community this time, the film "The Passion of the Christ" alone has made him one of the most unpopular with North American Jewish groups.


    "What he endangers is also the safety of an outstanding Australian actor!"


    When facing Sam Neal and Russell Crowe and others, Ryan did not give them any opportunity to explain for the compatriot Mel Gibson. "I will not let anyone threaten Nicole''s safety and continue to enjoy a glorious life in Hollywood."


    What is Mel Gibson''s body? Fame and deductive career.


    Then he will destroy these first!


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    In the days leading up to the Oscars, the media was full of voices condemning Mel Gibson.


    The spokesperson of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced at the latest press conference, ¡°In view of Mel Gibson¡¯s inappropriate remarks, he will be disqualified as a guest of this year¡¯s Oscars.¡±


    This news is only the beginning.


    Columbia TV canceled the TV series collaboration plan with Mel Gibson, MGM gave up the release of the other''s next film, and Warner Bros. directly rejected the script he delivered before "The Passion of the Christ".


    Ali Emmanuel, the head of the well-known brokerage company caa, publicly called on all Hollywood producers not to cooperate with Mel Gibson. He said: "I also hope that Mel Gibson was just a gaffe after drinking, but alcoholism is not an excuse for racial discrimination or anti-Semitic."


    Steven Spielberg said in an interview, "In the past, the slander against Jews was limited to private individuals, but now it is directly shouted out by a person with great influence. We must be alert to this kind of behavior, which is offensive to the entire United States. The bottom line of society!"


    James Cameron was also asked by reporters about his views on this matter. He directly said, "The world situation is already in chaos. Mel Gibson has added fuel to the fire. People in Hollywood, whether they are Jewish or not, should join in. Boycott the ranks of Mel Gibson."


    Summer Redstone, the head of Viacom, made no secret of his dislike of Mel Jebson, "Some people have made enough money from Hollywood Jewish wallets, and drank a little bit of alcohol to expose their hatred. The nature of Jews is too much. If you have opinions about Jews, don¡¯t mix in Hollywood!"


    As for Disney, it announced that it would never cooperate with a racist!


    The new market company that released "The Passion of the Christ" also said that after this film, it will completely terminate its cooperation with Mel Gibson.


    Their senior official said in an interview, ¡°Since Mel Gibson¡¯s attack on Ryan appeared, in just one week, we received more than 400,000 letters from fans, and at the peak there were 25,000 people in the company. Demonstrations were held in front of the door, and we even received some threatening letters. I want to terminate the cooperation with Mel Gibson. This is a very correct decision."


    Almost all major Hollywood studios, such as MGM, Paramount, Universal, Warner Bros, Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, etc., are controlled by Jews. Mel Gibson has been marked by these people without hesitation. The label of''anti-Semitic'', even after entering the judicial process, the court gave him a light sentence. For a long time, he did not have a foothold in Hollywood.


    In addition to the entertainment industry, some social organizations across the United States also publicly expressed their views on this matter.


    The head of the National Jewish Association, Arabraham Foskeman, said to the camera in an interview with the TV station, ¡°In this land, everyone has the freedom to express their opinions, but this does not include racial discrimination. And anti-Semitic remarks, whether Mel Gibson is suspected of racial discrimination, I believe the public can draw a conclusion from his words, after all, what he is slandering is a truly upright and kind person."


    He also believed that Mel Gibson¡¯s apology was extremely lacking in sincerity, and there was no regret at all. ¡°That was not a formal apology, because he did not actually apologize for his offensive remarks against Ryan.¡±


    There is also the National Federation of Teachers and Parents. They recommend that schools across the United States stop recommending Mel Gibson''s movies to students, lest the words and deeds of public figures affect the future of the United States...


    "He has been hiding behind the incident. He should stand up and face everything. What he did made his words come true. Now people are thinking that he is indeed an anti-Semitic."


    These are the words of a very influential social critic on Oprah''s talk show.


    His words are rapidly evolving into reality, and the public''s view of Mel Gibson is basically an anti-Semitic.


    Although many fans of Mel Gibson have expressed their support for him in various ways, this voice is too weak, facing Ryan¡¯s supporters who can only be described by masses, whether it is the Internet or other aspects. , Their voices were instantly drowned out.


    In the latest issue of "Vanity Fair" magazine, the most disgusting and controversial movie of all time was selected, and Mel Gibson''s "Passion of the Christ" topped the list...


    In the previous life, Mel Gibson had fallen completely since the drunken incident. In this life, his object of anti-Semitic drunkenness was changed to Ryan, and his situation was even worse.


    Just like Ryan said, he would never let go of a guy who threatened Nicole''s personal safety.


    On the premise of ensuring that the judicial process is correct enough, the Los Angeles District Attorney has charged Mel Gibson with multiple counts such as ¡°drunk driving,¡± ¡°endangering public relations safety,¡± and ¡°suspicion of racial discrimination¡±. , He may face a sentence of more than ten years at most.


    After the Los Angeles prosecutor''s press conference, public opinion calmed down a bit. After all, it was the Oscars ceremony soon, but no one thought that the last person who should have appeared made a statement about the incident at this time.


    Mel Gibson''s remarks attracted the attention of Bin Laden, who is deeply hidden in the Middle East. The videotape of this terrorist tycoon appeared on Al Jazeera news the day before the Oscars.


    Al Jazeera broadcasted a video of the leader of the base. To the surprise of the intelligence agencies of various countries, Laden did not seriously discuss any political issues this time, but specifically came to talk about Mel Gibson.'' Anti-Semitic speech''.


    Bin Laden said in the video that although he did not know Mel Gibson, he felt that Mel Gibson needed his own professional ¡®teaching¡¯ after learning of the movie star¡¯s ¡®anti-Semitic remarks¡¯!


    He said, "As everyone knows, I have always blamed the evils of the world on the Jews I once launched a holy war against Ryan Jenkins, but what I did not expect is that Mel Gibson is more ruthless than me."


    Bin Laden expressed his appreciation for Mel Gibson''s ¡®anti-Semitic thought¡¯, but he did not approve of his stupid approach at the time.


    "Publishing''anti-Semitic remarks'' should be in an absolutely safe place, like me, hiding in a secret cave, broadcasting the video through Al Jazeera, instead of yelling at Ryan Jenkins on the main road, like that. An idiot makes no difference."


    He also suggested that if Mel Gibson does not spit out any ¡®anti-Semitic remarks¡¯ in the future, he should count from 1 to 10 first, control his emotions, and choose a time and place, then spit it out quickly.


    Otherwise, it will be as it is now, but it has not achieved the goal of anti-Semitism, but has gotten into it.


    Finally, bin Laden praised Mel Gibson as a comrade-in-arms of Al Qaeda, and he always welcomes this Hollywood superstar to join the great Islamic Jihad.


    Laden¡¯s video tape made Mel Gibson faceless, and it became the most funny and fascinating event before the Oscars. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 612： Because im not dead yet

    Helicopters hovered over Hollywood, and the streets were cordoned off. The Kodak Theater, the place where the Oscars were held, was defending as best as possible in terms of technology and manpower. In order to ensure order, there are surveillance cameras, metal detectors, and a police officer in every corner. Even fans who sit in the bleachers and watch the stars on the Avenue of Stars will be closely watched.


    The live broadcast of this year¡¯s Oscars also caused some controversy. Due to the scene of Justin Dingblake and Jennifer Jackson during the 38th Super Bowl halftime performance, the organizers had to take five seconds to the live broadcast. The delay ensures that no vulgar content will be broadcast live.


    The other is that the award ceremony was selected at the end of February, nearly a month earlier than usual.


    "Ryan, do we need a public statement to support you?"


    As soon as he walked into the Kodak Theater, Ryan saw Scarlett Johansson and Christine Stewart waiting here. The little fat girl''s voice fell, and the tomboy gently waved his fist, using what only they could hear. The voice said, "If we see that bastard, we must knock him crooked!"


    "My dears, the law will make a fair ruling." Ryan said nonsense that he didn''t even believe him, and walked toward the main hall with the two girls. "You only need to support you mentally, but you can forget about it in action. ."


    The two girls laughed. They were really angry after learning about the incident, but they knew that they could not help much, and believed that Ryan could solve it easily. They had known each other for more than ten years, and he had never made any orders. People have been disappointed.


    He has always been their support and umbrella, and they have unparalleled confidence in him.


    "It''s a pity that Alison can''t walk the red carpet with us." Scarlett Johansson, wearing a dark green suspender evening dress, took the initiative to hold Kristen Stewart, "She can only watch the live broadcast at home."


    "Hey, Scarlett, and Christine"


    Enter the front door of the main hall. Ryan saw the arms of the two girls holding each other and joked, "You have to pay attention to the influence."


    "Come on, Ryan."


    Kristen Stewart wrinkled his nose like Taylor, while Scarlett Johansson said tacitly, "Massachusetts have passed the **** marriage law, and your thinking is too conservative."


    "Whatever you do."


    Entering the main hall, Ryan followed the two girls to the seat where the crew of "Lost in Tokyo" was, and saw Sophia Coppola who was smiling very brightly.


    "Lost in Tokyo" not only won a nomination for best original editor, but also made her the third female director and the first American female director to be nominated for an Oscar for best director.


    "Hi. Sophia, you are so beautiful tonight."


    "Thank you, Ryan."


    Sophia Coppola stood up and gave Ryan a strong hug. These gratitudes were obviously from sincere, "Thank you for your suggestion and thank you for your investment."


    "You deserve it, don''t you?" Ryan patted her back lightly, just as he was about to open the distance between the two sides. Sophia Coppola said suddenly, "You won their hearts in this way?"


    These words were so low that Sophia Coppola winked at him.


    "Okay, I should go back to the crew." Ryan did not respond to Sophia Coppola''s teasing. He shook hands with Francisco Coppola again, and walked to the crew of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King".


    Maybe the media no longer mention those laces, but Ryan knows it clearly in the eyes of people who know him. His relationship with Nicole is not a secret at all.


    Looking at the tall figure going away, Sophia Coppola sighed and sat back in her place.


    "Sophia. You are best just friends." Francisco Coppola sitting next to her suddenly said seriously, "I don''t want my daughter to become someone else''s mistress."


    "I know what to choose, Dad."


    The other party is indeed very heartwarming, if it weren''t for the three women... Sophia Coppola shook her head and said firmly, "Your daughter is very clear-headed."


    After passing through the main aisle, Ryan shook hands with the person who reached out and walked to his seat. The crew of "The Lord of the Rings" is the largest crew tonight, and not only won eleven nominations. All the personnel were there, and even the Fellowship Team was assembled again, plus Naomi Watts, who was in another crew, almost all the main actors arrived.


    However, without the most beautiful vase princess, Charlize Theron went to Europe.


    She seems determined to start her own fashion business. Since this time, Charlize has maintained close contact with the fashion industry. This time she went to Europe and met with a few favorite designers, hoping they could join her soon. Among the pioneering fashion brands.


    "Guys..." Ryan sat down, looked at Peter Jackson next to him, and said to the people around him, "Are you ready to take back the eleven statuettes?"


    "I think we are apart from technology awards..."


    Ilya Wood at the back leaned a little closer, shrugged and said, "It''s likely that I will come back empty-handed?"


    "Ilya." Orlando Bloom took over on the other side. "You mean Peter can''t get the best director?"


    "Oscar history."


    Ian McLean, who was almost labelled Gandalf and Magneto, also spoke up, "There has never been a director who has won the best director for non-realistic themes..."


    He patted Jackson on the arm. "Peter, God bless you."


    "There is still the best film." Peter Jackson looked at Ryan sympathetically, "I heard that Disney has done a lot of public relations, but will fantasy-themed movies really be favored by the judges?"


    "If it''s our original theme, it definitely won''t." Ryan spread his hands and explained it mysteriously, "but don''t forget, this is the "Lord of the Rings" that has an important position in the history of literature, and Oscar I have always liked British literary subjects, and most importantly, Tolkien has passed away."


    Several people around either blinked or nodded slightly. Only Peter Jackson squeezed his chin and said, "According to you, the Harry Potter series has an unparalleled influence in children''s literature. , When this series ends, will the Academy..."


    "Absolutely not!" Ryan shook his head gently.


    "Why?" Ilya Wood asked curiously.


    "Because I''m not dead yet." Ryan looked at the few guys around who were holding back a laugh, and said naturally, "If I''m dead like Tolkien, the last episode of "Harry Potter" Maybe the Ministry will really create a miracle on the Oscars."


    The people around couldn''t help it anymore and laughed at the same time.


    However, after the laugh, he felt that what Ryan said made sense based on the style of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.


    As the time for the awards ceremony approached, the crew gradually calmed down. Ryan could see that Peter Jackson, who was sitting next to him, was very excited, with a hint of tension in his excitement.


    Commercially speaking, after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, New Zealand Fatty completely entered the ranks of first-line directors, but he really wants to be one of the best directors on the planet, and he is still short of the recognition of an Oscar statuette.


    Otherwise, no matter how good the business is, it is just another Michael Bay.


    According to the predictions of the media and professional organizations in advance, Peter Jackson is the most popular of the best directors. Most people in the industry believe that Oscars will give the series the greatest honor at the end of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.


    "It''s a pity, Peter."


    The two chatted for a few words, and the topic turned to their recent work. Ryan said without regret, "You have signed a contract with Universal Pictures, and I''m still waiting for you to direct "The Silmarillion"."


    "You know, Ryan." Peter Jackson made an apologetic gesture. "In addition to being a Lord of the Rings fan, I am also a crazy King Kong fan. Remake of "King Kong" is one of my biggest wishes."


    Nodded, Ryan didn''t say anything any more. Universal Pictures set an upfront budget of more than 200 million U.S. dollars for this film, which is a huge attraction for any director.


    Although the movie in the previous life is not too successful, it cannot be said to be a failed work.


    After experiencing "King Kong", Peter Jackson''s crazy idea of ??piling up special effects will definitely change, so that it will be the most effective for the future "Silmaranth" series.


    Of course, the first actor to be determined in this world is the heroine, and Naomi Watts still got this role.


    The music on the stage sounded, Ryan temporarily discarded the thoughts in his mind, and as the others clapped their palms together, the 76th Oscars ceremony kicked off.


    Perhaps last year¡¯s ratings were terrible, and this year¡¯s awards ceremony has a retro taste of the 90s.


    Billy Christo was edited into those nominated movies again He and Russell Crowe set sail in "Furious Sea" and competed with Johnny Depp in swordsmanship. With Catwalk, held up the Nasir holy sword on the screen with Ryan''s head cut off, transformed into Legolas and killed the mammoth, and even appeared naked...


    For ratings, this comedian really fought.


    "It''s time." Arwen encouraged him.


    "Take out all the honors you cherish and return to the Oscar stage..." Aragorn shouted, swinging a sword on the prancing horse.


    "You better continue this job, Lord Christo." Captain Barbossa, who had turned into a skeleton, warned solemnly.


    Finally, under the **** of Jack Nicholson in a white robe, he passed through Saint White City and came to the Kodak Theater.


    "It''s your turn." Jack Nicholson with his cane took off his iconic sunglasses and handed it to Billy Christo, "Go and win the applause, Billy!"


    "Let me show them good looks!" Billy Christo closed his eyes and walked into the Kodak Theater. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 613： This is our glorious moment

    "Nominated for Best Original Screenplay..."


    Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon stood on the stage as a couple, "Steven Knight "The Beautiful Bad Thing", the Sheridan Brothers "Going Heaven", Ryan Jenkins, Andrew Stan "Looking for Nemo", Dennis Akander "Invasion of the Barbarians", Sophia Coppola "Lost in Tokyo."


    After the list was read out, the following guests and audience were relieved, and finally no nomination for "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King".


    Previously, after Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress were taken away by Tim Robbins and Renee Zellweger, "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" ruled a series of awards later.


    Including the best sound effects, best editing, best makeup, best sound editing, best costume design, best art director, best original soundtrack, best original song and best adapted screenplay, etc. nine Oscar statuettes.


    The crew of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" took all the nominated awards.


    This award finally has no nomination for "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".


    "The winner is..."


    Tim Robbins opened the envelope and handed it to Susan Sarandon. The latter did not make people wait long, and immediately gave the final answer, "Sophia Coppola "Lost in Tokyo"!"


    There was no surprise in the answer. Ryan stood up with a smile, and looked at the female director who was on the stage while applauding. This was Sofia Coppola¡¯s moment. Just a few years ago, all the media were mocking her. When laughing at her big teeth and nepotism, did you think that there would be such a moment?


    The media, including those who do media...


    Ryan suddenly stopped his thoughts. Isn''t he a media player now?


    Sophia Coppola on the stage has already taken the statuette and stood in front of the microphone.


    "Thank you! I can¡¯t believe I can stand here, thank you! Thank you for the honor given to me by the college! Thank you Dad for teaching me everything! Thank you my brothers and friends, I also thank the film producers. Thank you Scarlett Bill, your performance is great! Thank you mom, you encouraged me to try art!"


    She suddenly looked over and smiled with her iconic big teeth, "Every writer has a muse, and my muse is Ryan. When I only wrote 12 pages of the script, I got stuck. It was you who encouraged me to persist in writing it down. Your suggestions gave me the inspiration to write this work. I will always keep the emails you sent in the mailbox."


    Hear this alternative thank you words. Ryan had no choice but to clap his palms with a smile, and there was thunderous applause in the theater again.


    With Sophia Coppola''s step down, all the foreshadowing is over, and the awards ceremony has come to the final moment. Only the four heaviest awards are left. Unlike previous years, this time the best director was awarded first. .


    Originally the guest of this award was Mel Gibson, but unfortunately this guy will probably never appear at the Oscars.


    His replacement is Harrison Ford, one of Hollywood''s most famous Jewish descent. It seems that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences wants to use this method to show its position implicitly.


    The crew of "The Lord of the Rings" immediately calmed down, with a faintly nervous atmosphere, even though they had won nine awards before. But if you get nothing in the four most important awards, it can be called a failure.


    This film has not received any performance award nominations, the best director and the best film are closely related, if you can get the best director. That shows that the academy will completely break the tradition of previous realist films, and "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" will almost certainly win the best film.


    "God is righteous and merciful..."


    Although he does not believe in Judaism. Harrison Ford still said a famous Jewish proverb, "God created man in his image, so everyone should be dignified and respected!"


    Regardless of the true opinion of the people on the stage, they can only applaud at this time to express their anti-discrimination stance.


    "The following outstanding directors have been nominated for this year''s Oscar for best director."


    Harrison Ford turned the topic back and introduced it with the big screen, "Sophia Coppola "Lost in Tokyo", Clint Eastwood "Mysterious River", Peter Jackson "Lord of the Rings 3 "The Return of the King", Fernando Merrills, "The City of God", Peter Weir, "The Raging Sea"."


    "Don''t worry, Peter." Ryan looked at the a little nervous New Zealand fat man, and whispered, "The academy will not award an award to a female director who is only 30 years old."


    Director is an industry full of patriarchal colors.


    "Peter Jackson, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King"!"


    As soon as Harrison Ford''s voice fell on the stage, the big fat man with rough edges clenched his fists and waved vigorously, "Yes!"


    The New Zealand fat man kissed his wife first, then turned around and hugged Ryan hard, "Am I the best director? It''s incredible, this feeling is simply wonderful!"


    "You can choose to refuse." Ilya Wood behind patted his back and said.


    Amidst enthusiastic applause, Peter Jackson stepped onto the stage and took over the best director Golden Man from Harrison Ford.


    "Wow! Thank you very much to the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for bringing us such a wonderful night, and I thank you for that!"


    The big fat man said a big deal, and thanked him from the cast to the staff. Fortunately, although his heart was swollen, he did not say something like "The King of the World".


    "I just want to thank a special person, our investor Ryan, who gave the most support to the crew. He is not only a great actor, but also an excellent producer. Ryan, thank you! Without you There would be no success for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy!"


    Seeing the camera turning around, Ryan smiled and nodded. Although the Oscars have not been on the stage for several consecutive Oscars, they have demonstrated ubiquitous influence through the winners.


    "There is one last point!" Peter Jackson said solemnly, "I hope racial discrimination will stay away from Hollywood!"


    There was a warm applause from the audience again, and it seemed that this slogan was really deeply rooted in Hollywood.


    Next is the best actor and actress. In the crew of "Lost in Tokyo", Scarlett Johansson held Kristen Stewart''s hand nervously.


    Maybe it was because of her strength that the tomboy glared at her, "Scarlett, I''m not Alison!"


    "Ok."


    Seeing Scarlett Johansson''s slightly warning eyes, Kristen Stewart asked, "Are you ready for your acceptance speech?"


    "My dear, I can''t win the prize."


    "Maybe it will be upset." The tomboy didn''t even look at Billy Christo on the stage, and asked, "Don''t be so stingy, can''t you tell me a few words?"


    "All right." Scarlett coughed and said, "If I can really go up, I will declare war on Mel Gibson that **** on our behalf!"


    "Yes!" The tomboy nodded immediately, "That''s it! Let him know our strength!"


    "Kesha Caso Hughes "Whale Rider", Naomi Watts "21 Grams"" The voice introducing the nomination was uploaded on the stage, "Scarlett Johansson "Lost in Tokyo", Diane Keaton "Love Is Compromise", Samantha Morton "Going to Heaven."


    Although it is clear that the chance of winning is almost zero, the two girls once again held their hands tightly.


    "Diane Keaton "Love is a Compromise""


    Sure enough, the name of the best actress does not belong to them.


    "Don''t be sad, Scarlett, there is still a chance in the future." Kristen Stewart sent comfort for the first time.


    Scarlett Johansson tidied up her dress, and when the camera swept over, she smiled, showing good upbringing and manners.


    The result was not beyond Ryan''s expectation. For a girl who is less than twenty years old, or a blonde girl, it is impossible to get the best actress.


    This year¡¯s Oscars so far, there have been almost no upset awards, and the best actor has also fallen on the head of the hottest Sean Penn. His performance in "Mystic River" is good enough.


    When Steven Spielberg appeared on the stage holding the envelope, tonight''s awards ceremony came to the last moment.


    "Some people never mind looking at our world in the most sinister light, and some people always attack good and upright people with vicious remarks..."


    The old Jewish man raised his eyes and said seriously, "I hope that like "The Lord of the Rings", the light will always drive away the darkness, and justice will eventually overcome evil."


    After the applause on the stage weakened, he continued, "Let''s take a look at the list of nominations for the best film, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" Ryan Jenkins, Peter Jackson, Fran Wales, " Lost in Tokyo" Sophia Coppola, Ross KatzMystic River" Clint Eastwood, Judy Hoyt..."


    "The best picture is..." The old Jewish man opened the envelope and read the answer without any suspense. "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King, please invite Ryan Jenkins, Peter Jackson and Fran Wales."


    The people on the crew side immediately embraced it. This was a great victory, comparable to the Battle of Perrin Plains; this was an unusual victory. Since then, the non-realistic theme of magic has been added to the ranks of Oscars for best film. ; This is a record-breaking victory, eleven nominations have won back eleven statuettes!


    Ryan stood up and adjusted his dark dress, but did not immediately step onto the stage.


    "Guys, this is a glorious moment for all of us."


    When the crew looked at him, Ryan beckoned to all the members of the crew, "This should also be the moment for us to receive the award together!"


    As usual, the best picture is only awarded to the producer, but at the call of Ryan, all the members of the crew took to the stage, even Naomi Watts, who was in the crew of "21 Grams," walked quickly. Come here. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 614： Definitely expected

    "This is incredible. I am very honored, moved and relaxed. The members of the Academy and Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences who supported us in the past recognized this fantasy film this year. Fantasy is a word that starts with''f'', hopefully 5 seconds. Delay will not deal with it."


    As the last person to give a speech, after the laughter and applause under the stage, Ryan continued, "Fantasy is also one of our most precious treasures. It is because fantasy has the creativity of a great movie. Fantasy makes us It will never be satisfied. The crew will never be 100% satisfied in shooting and post-production. We are always pursuing 110%."


    His hands slid over every actor and staff member behind, "It is with these people full of fantasy that the great success of "The Lord of the Rings" has been achieved. They are the people I want to thank! In addition, I want to express my gratitude to the people of New Zealand, the government, the city council and everyone who helped us!"


    Turning his head, Ryan looked at Billy Christo who was standing aside, "Billy seems to like the scenery of New Zealand very much. I think New Zealand will definitely welcome Billy to make a movie there. Welcome anytime."


    "Very welcome!" Peter Jackson, a standard New Zealander, leaned in front of the microphone and said.


    "Finally..." Ryan gave a self-deprecating smile, "I am not as honest and kind as Stephen said, but this is a free and equal country. The founding fathers once said-natural human rights, everyone is born equal, we should not Tolerate those racial discriminators!"


    Now that the whole Hollywood has gone to war against Mel Gibson, Ryan doesn''t mind adding another fire. After saying this, he turned his head and looked at the entire crew and said, "Now is the time to celebrate!"


    It was indeed time to celebrate. After the routine group photo was over, the crew moved to the top floor of the Hollywood and Highland Hotel, and the celebration party had just begun.


    "Nothing to regret." Scarlett Johansson said to Nicole. "You and Ryan have both said that my chances of winning the prize are too small."


    Receiving the tray from the waiter, Ryan divided the tender lamb chops among everyone''s plates. Only Nicole, Scarlett Johansson, and Christine Stewart were on the table.


    Kristen Stewart took the golden figure of the best picture and deliberately put it in front of Scarlett, "It''s just a titanium alloy wrapped in gold paint, right, Scarlett."


    "Kristin, with your acting..." Scarlett Johansson swallowed the food in his mouth, took another sip of juice, and said. "Don''t even think of getting the best actress Oscar in this life."


    "Can you get it?"


    Kristen retorted. After all, he was the one who grew up with Taylor, and he was not at all polite to friends. "Don''t forget, Scarlett, you have already started to shoot commercial productions, and you want to win an Oscar for performance in the future..."


    She shook her head like Tyler, "It''s very difficult!"


    "Okay, dear." Nicole put down the knife and fork. After taking the napkin and wiping his mouth, he said, "Pay attention to your etiquette."


    The two girls closed their mouths obediently.


    After eating the last tender lamb chop, Ryan thought about the super production of DreamWorks. Asked, "Scarlett, is "Escape from the Clone Island" finished?"


    "Not yet." She also put down the tableware, "because..."


    Scarlett gave Nicole a concealed look. Did not mention the experimental feature film shot with Natalie, "I joined the crew late, and the film was only halfway through."


    "Has DreamWorks confirmed the release time?" Ryan was still waiting for the movie to go to the street and talk to Michael Bay.


    "Probably next summer file." Scarlett sorted out her blonde hair. After thinking about it, "I heard Stephen mentioned that it will probably start in the summer. You should know that DreamWorks is not in a very good situation, and you want to use this movie to change the current passive situation."


    The commercial production of two literary and artistic youths, plus a director who is good at playing explosives changed to play connotation...


    Ryan didn''t stop Scarlett from taking the film at the beginning, he could protect them, but he wouldn''t interfere with their way too much.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins. Hello, Miss Kidman." A middle-aged man walked over to say hello.


    "Hello there."


    Ryan and Nicole shook hands of the Latino.


    He was about six feet two inches tall, his typical Latino appearance, especially the heavy bags under his eyes.


    This person Ryan knows, although he is not a big star, he has some fame. He also won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor a few years ago.


    Benicio del Toro seemed to have drunk a lot, and the target was not Ryan and Nicole. He just chatted a few words and sat down beside Scarlett Johansson.


    The two chatted in a low voice, but Ryan heard Benicio del Toro tentatively asking, "Miss Johnson, can I find a place to talk alone?"


    "Sorry." Scarlett Johansson refused without even thinking, but Benicio Del Toro insisted, "It''s just a few words."


    "I''m very busy!" Scarlett frowned, only those who knew her could tell, she looked at each other with disgust in her eyes, "I''m not familiar with you."


    Ryan raised his hand slightly, and stretched a finger to the place where the back bodyguard is. If Scarlett is willing to associate with Benicio del Toro, he will not care, but if he is obsessed with his friends He won''t be polite either.


    Nicole suddenly coughed, and when Benicio del Toro''s attention turned to her, those pale blue eyes became sharp instantly.


    Melanie Sloan and Julis Stewart are not only close partners, but also friends for more than ten years. If someone forced Scarlett or the tomboy on the other side, she would certainly not stand by.


    Fortunately, this Latino hadn''t been drunk enough, and he knew that he couldn''t offend any of the four people in front of him. After saying something sorry, he hurriedly left the table.


    "If Alison saw it." The tomboy picked up the knife and gestured, "I will definitely not let him go!"


    "Kristen, pay attention to your ladylike demeanor!" Scarlett Johansson gave her a concealed look.


    These people have been arguing and growing up together since they were young. Ryan shook his head and looked at Nicole, "My dear, your necklace is so beautiful."


    "Really?" Nicole touched the fancy diamond-encrusted gold chain around her neck. "Am I not pretty?"


    "You''re much more beautiful than a necklace." Ryan beckoned to the back, waited for the bodyguard to come over to pick up the figurines and other items, and asked, "Scarlett, Christine, are you going to continue or go back with us?"


    "Go back."


    Scarlett Johansson took Kristen Stewart to his feet, and followed Ryan and Nicole out of the hotel.


    Far away from the great pain caused by the 9/11 incident, and without the huge shadow cast by the Iraq war on people¡¯s psychology, this year¡¯s Oscars ceremony was restored to its original brilliance. With the end of the celebration party, the 76th Oscars were awarded. The ceremony completely ended.


    Due to the social situation, the Oscars of the first two years were spent in a panic. Whether it was the secret of the date, the cautious dress and careful speeches of various stars, the bleak feeling even made the original The purely entertaining event bears a heavy mission of spiritual comfort.


    When terror and war are far away from this world, Hollywood superstars invariably put on beautiful dresses and completed the event with the most gorgeous gestures.


    Different from the past practice that Oscars always burst out one or two unpopularities, there is almost no suspense at this year¡¯s Oscars. Among the four most gold-rich awards, Best Movie, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress, Almost all the media¡¯s predictions have remained surprisingly consistent, and the final result is exactly the same as the mainstream media¡¯s predictions.


    Although this calm result is a little flat, but the eleven golden men falling into the bag of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is definitely what everyone expects.


    "Eleven nominations and eleven awards, Ryan Jenkins-led film once again set a record!"


    "The perfect "Lord of the Ring" trilogy finale, the perfect Oscar finale!"


    "Ryan Jenkins once again created a miracle..."


    In addition to reports on the award ceremony itself, the media also focused on those words in the final period.


    "Including heavyweights such as Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg, delivering anti-discrimination speeches..."


    "Racism has no place in Hollywood!"


    "Ryan Jenkins declared war on racial discrimination on the spot, saying that he would never tolerate the arrogant acts of racists!"


    Of course, the focus of UU Reading media is still on the award-winning "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King".


    "Compared to "Furious Sea", "Lost in Tokyo" and "Mysterious River" and other films, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" integrates business, entertainment and culture, and belongs to the best balanced choice-Oscar The selection of the judges is understandable! And compared to the previous two Oscar winners "Beautiful Mind" and "Chicago", the audience of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" is also wider!"


    The "Los Angeles Times" comment can be said to be the most suitable analysis for this year''s Oscars.


    ""The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is the biggest winner of this Oscar, and its 11 awards is also one of the greatest achievements in Oscar history. In fact, although some people might say, "The Lord of the Rings: The King" "Return" may have been made up for at this Oscar because the first two "Lord of the Rings" films did not win awards, but even this statement cannot cover the light of "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"."


    No matter how you talk about it afterwards, and no matter how literary lovers despise this series, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy will leave a strong mark in film history and will become one of the greatest movies ever. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 615： Count me 1

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"


    After the hammering of the gavel, the chaotic courtroom was quiet again. ?. .


    The reporters who were sitting in the auditorium returned to their seats, with their ears pricked up and their eyes wide open, for fear that they would miss every picture and miss any sound coming from the front.


    Even so, they had to take care of both sides. Ryan, who was sitting in the front row of the auditorium, had no expression on his face. The convicted Mel Gibson slumped on the chair, and the rebellious head of the past hangs completely. .


    The two consecutive days of trial finally ended. Ryan didn''t care about the chase and interception of the reporters. After leaving the court, he got in the car and went straight away, leaving only a black car shadow for the camera.


    My goal has been achieved, there is no need to continue to struggle.


    Just now, the jury convicted Mel Gibson of ¡®drunk driving¡¯, ¡®endangering public safety¡¯, and ¡®suspicion of racial discrimination¡¯ and other charges. The court sentenced him to ten years in prison on the spot, and no bail or parole was allowed for the first five years.


    Although the other party will inevitably file an appeal, Ryan has been prepared for this a long time ago, and the result will certainly not be much changed.


    Since Mel Gibson has a big mouth and likes to spray dung everywhere, then go to the prison to pick up soap. "Hi, dear."


    After the bell rang, Ryan leaned on the back seat and pressed the phone''s answer button, "Yes, the result is out."


    He roughly told the court''s verdict to Taylor who called.


    "Ryan, it''s so cheap for him?" The girl opposite seemed unsatisfied. "Not to say those bad things, he almost hurt Nicole! We can''t just leave it..."


    "He will stay in jail for at least five years." Ryan squeezed his eyebrows with a headache.


    Tyler was obviously influenced by him in this regard and treated the enemy mercilessly.


    "It''s too short..." The voice in the microphone paused, and the girl said again, "Well, after that guy goes to jail, let George or Garcia find some people in. Then..."


    "Alison!" Ryan interrupted her, "Did you watch too many movies?"


    "Okay." The girl''s voice on the phone seemed a little aggrieved. "But, he hurt you and Nicole..."


    "My dear." Ryan understood the girl''s feelings and said solemnly, "All our counterattacks must be based on the premise of not breaking the law."


    "Even if there is a place to rub the edges, it must be hidden under the heavy curtains." The little girl took it mischievously. "Even if it is dug up by someone, it won''t hurt us." Did he teach this sister badly? Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head.


    When I hung up the phone, Ryan was sitting in the car, still thinking about this issue, but in the end he shook his head and smiled. This is not a bad thing, is it?


    It is always better to hurt others than to hurt your own sister.


    In the afternoon, Ryan returned to the Disney headquarters building. After the Oscars ceremony, he has been performing his duties as a creative director.


    Perhaps it was his reinterpretation of the fairy tale speech that played a role. Recently, Disney''s creative department has sent a new fairy tale script, which has the tradition of Disney princes and princesses, and does not lack enough innovation.


    This script called "Enchanted Romance" did not jump out of the fairy tale route set by the Grimm brothers. The story must be a beautiful princess, a handsome prince, and an evil queen. The prince and princess fell in love at first sight, but were blocked by the queen, and then went through hardships. Finally, give the audience a happy ending.


    However, in this routine, a set of gimmicks that combine cartoons and reality has been dug out. The specific head-on collision between the idealized world view of fairy tales and the utilitarian ideas of real people will definitely become a major attraction in the film.


    In addition, the biggest feature of the script is the "travel". The princess in the fairy tale is cursed by the wizard and travels to the real world of New York, falling in love with a lawyer, and the lawyer''s girlfriend enters the fairy tale world and falls in love with the prince inside... ¡­


    Fairy tale movies are undoubtedly the type that Disney Pictures is best at. The combination of live action movie and cg animation. It is also a bold attempt.


    Ryan has only one opinion, and the hero and the heroine must guarantee basic acting skills. The appearance must be beautiful enough, even if new actors are used for this.


    This kind of movie that is completely aimed at the youth market, if the hero and the heroine are a pair of crooked melons, the result will be tragic.


    Disney has a complete industrial chain and a steady stream of hematopoietic capabilities, and Ryan does not need to pay too much attention to these things. After he approved the project, he refocused his energy on "Argo".


    The film was closed at the beginning of January this year. The post-production is busy, and George Clooney has led the editor to cut out rough samples. Although it has not undergone sufficient post-processing, Ryan feels it after watching it. satisfaction.


    The film does not have a strong personal style. All the plots are closely centered on the theme of rescue. The pictures also have some film styles from the 70s and 80s, as George Clooney said.


    "Good job, George!"


    In the editing room, Ryan slapped George Clooney on the shoulder, "I believe this will be a masterpiece."


    "Ryan, when is this movie going to be released?" George Clooney asked with a smile.


    "In the second half..." Ryan made a gesture that you understand, "The movie is not only about the box office, but also the award season."


    Such a plan was also within George Clooney¡¯s expectations. He took the film and aimed at the awards season as well. "We have enough post-production time..."


    He paused and mentioned another key thing, "Ryan, the film will be sent to mpaa soon."


    "Don''t worry." Ryan didn''t care much, "I can''t guarantee the PG level, but there is definitely no problem with the pg-13 level."


    Although this will be a political thriller mystery film, there are not many sensitive pictures in it, and patriotic themes will also play a role in the classification.


    The sun sank to the horizon, and when the sky turned dark, Ryan left Disney, took a circle, picked up Taylor from Hollywood Records, and returned to Beverly Hills together.


    In the driving car, Ryan squeezed his chin and looked at the tall and thin blonde girl. Taylor packed his backpack and blinked his royal blue eyes. "What happened? Or do you think I''m beautiful again? Up?"


    "Pretty?" Ryan shook his head.


    Tyler lowered his mouth in dissatisfaction, wrinkled his nose and said, "In your heart, I will always be the little kid who is not growing up."


    Ryan didn''t pick up her jokes, but seriously said, "Alison, your mother just called me from New York. She said that in the latest spring test, your math score was f."


    Although receiving family education, Taylor still has to take some tests.


    "Can you explain what''s going on?" Ryan was curious. "You used to have excellent grades, and you have never failed."


    "Are you angry? Very disappointed?" Taylor didn''t seem to care.


    "I just want to ask what''s going on." Ryan knew how smart she was. "I guess there must be something hidden in it."


    "You still understand me." Taylor suddenly turned around and hugged him, and said slightly aggrieved. "When my mother called yesterday, she kept criticizing me."


    "That''s an expression of loving you." Ryan patted her on the back comfortingly, "Tell me exactly what happened."


    "I answered every question in the test correctly." The girl leaned in her seat and said angrily, "but they judged me to fail."...


    "Why?" Ryan asked.


    "Because I didn''t write the answering process." Tyler glanced at Ryan, and Ryan smiled helplessly, "Why didn''t you write it?"


    "I used mental arithmetic," Taylor said of course. "So I didn''t write it."


    "Then did you tell them?" Ryan believed it was true.


    "Tell them, they don''t believe me." The girl patted the car seat hard, "They said that they can''t mental arithmetic, I must be cheating!"


    "These guys!" Ryan''s nose was almost crooked. "How can they fail you just because you are smarter than them!"


    "That''s what I said." Tyler nodded hurriedly.


    "Well, my dear." Ryan sighed and rubbed her blonde hair. "I will call Mrs. Andrea, and I will call the people in charge of the test and talk to them. talk."


    "This couldn''t be better." The girl''s eyes almost disappeared.


    Ryan didn''t expect things to be like this, and couldn''t help but shook his head and smiled.


    After Taylor dropped out of school, apart from daily music practice, his family education did not relax, and his grades were quite good. It was the first time that such failures occurred. The Swifts were responsible for his investment and funds. Yes, I often run between New York and Los Angeles. Although Taylor is taking care of Nicole most of the time when they are away, some worries are inevitable.


    Suddenly, Taylor handed over a check and a copy of Scott¡¯s authorized signature over What is this? Ryan took it and looked at it. The amount on the check was as high as 500,000 U.S. dollars. "Why do you have so much money?" "


    "Part of the pocket money saved is..."


    "Can you save pocket money?" Ryan couldn''t help looking at her.


    Although Taylor''s habit of spending money lavishly is not as good as Paris Hilton, it is not much stronger. This is a common problem with most wealthy children.


    "There''s more." Taylor muttered dissatisfied, "Did you forget? I also dubbed several Pixar animated films and sold two songs. These are all rewards."


    "What do you give me the money for?"


    Upon hearing Ryan¡¯s question, the girl explained, ¡°Isn¡¯t Charlie planning to establish a fashion brand company? Are you not going to take a share in it? Let¡¯s count me, and my father has agreed...¡±


    She pointed to the document, "That is his authorized signature.")()

 Chapter 616： Scarlet Church

    The clouds floating in the sky covered the stars that were not bright. After a few thunders, raindrops smashed sparsely, knocking on the palm trees in the Jenkins Manor, constantly emitting''patter, patter'' The sound of the sound passed through the night sky of Beverly Hills into the terrace of the villa.


    After dinner, Ryan, Tyler and Charlize went under the big sun umbrella on the terrace, sat at the small oak round table, and admired the rare rain scene in Los Angeles.


    In front of the terrace is a piece of Tyler¡¯s favorite hydrangea. Although it has not yet reached the blooming season, the leaves that have been washed by the rain are full of green, and there are several slightly withered and unknown plants that Charlize brought from South Africa. Plants have a little more vitality.


    There was another dull thunder after the light, Taylor looked at the increasingly gloomy sky, stood up and walked to the edge of the sun umbrella, stretched out a long hand of Baishengsheng, and received some drips of rain. Turning around, he threw it out mischievously.


    Raindrops fell on Ryan and Charlize. The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly. After beckoning Taylor, the girl moved her long legs wrapped in tights and jumped back again.


    After she sat down, she grabbed a book about sunglasses in front of Charlize, turned it over, and said, "Is our company''s first business is sunglasses?"


    "My dear, you are just a minority shareholder." Raising his right hand, Charlize made a small gesture with two fingers, "So, you don''t have the right to participate in opinions."


    "I protest!" Taylor closed the book and raised a hand. "You are discriminating against minors!"


    "Protests are invalid!" Ryan leaned on the back of the wicker chair, snapped his fingers and said, "Even I only have the right to make suggestions, not the right to make decisions, so dear. You can keep silent."


    The rain outside gradually became heavier. Fortunately, the sun umbrella was large enough that rain could not fall in.


    It is obviously impossible to keep Tyler silent. The girl sniffed the wet air, grabbed a strand of blond hair and scratched her chin, and said, "Charlie, I invested half a million dollars. You always want Tell me about our ct company?"


    "What do I need to introduce?"


    See the girl persisting. Charlize said with a smile, "Well, this will be a fashion company. For the time being, there are only three of us as shareholders. I invested 10 million U.S. dollars, Ryan 5.5 million U.S. dollars, and your 500,000 U.S. dollars. ."


    "There will be several designers from Europe and New York fashion circles joining us in the future." She is operating as a future business, and she is more serious in her words. "The company will be divided into two major businesses in the future. Candy. And fashion products."


    "Is candy and fashion necessarily related?" Taylor couldn''t help scratching his head.


    "No." Ryan explained, "but candies can use Charlie''s reputation to quickly create a brand and market."


    He pointed to Taylor in the air, "Alison. In the future, you can endorse your own sweets."


    "Every cell of the capital really reveals the breath of chasing interests." The girl grabbed her hair and thought for a while, "Then I have to wait until I become famous. What about the current publicity?"


    "Then it''s up to him." Charlize turned to Ryan.


    Taylor nodded clearly, "We can use Disney''s platform. Um... Enter the Disney store, enter the Disney park, let the TV station advertise. Also, Ryan''s movies can be embedded in our ads."


    "My dear, you shouldn''t be a singer." Ryan dropped a black line. "You should run a company."


    "Rest assured, the quality of our products will be guaranteed!" The royal blue eyes turned to South African Diamonds, "Is that so, Charlie?"


    "Of course!" Charlize nodded with a smile.


    These matters have been discussed with Ryan. How could she have the confidence to start a career if she did not rely on Disney, a huge media group.


    "What about fashion?" Taylor asked curiously.


    There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and after the thunder rumbling, Charlize said, "ct is positioned as a fashion and leisure, mainly perfume, sunglasses and casual denim clothing."


    Charlize''s eyes fell on Taylor''s surprisingly long legs, "Alison, you are very suitable to be an endorsement for our future jeans."


    These two legs are the parts that Taylor is most proud of. She giggled, "You can do it yourself, Charlie, your legs are also very beautiful."


    The next topic completely shifted to the female side. As we age, Taylor inevitably has most of the commonalities of all women.


    The rain is getting bigger and bigger, as if the precipitation in Los Angeles throughout the year is concentrated tonight, looking into the distance from the terrace, the whole Los Angeles is shrouded in rain.


    Such heavy rain is a little sudden, and it hasn''t happened in a few years.


    The hydrangea and other plants that had been vigorous before, slowly bowed their heads after experiencing the continuous blow of rain.


    The air was full of damp smells, and the occasional night breeze also brought a hint of coolness.


    "We should go down."


    Ryan slapped his palm, interrupting Taylor and Charlize, "If you have anything, let''s go back and talk."


    After taking a few books from Charlize, Ryan walked downstairs through the aisle, footsteps and crisp voices heard behind him.


    "Of all the colors." Taylor continued to talk about fashion. "I like purple, burgundy and **** the most. Of course platinum is also good. I plan to dye my hair into platinum for some time."


    "My dear, the hair color of honey gold is very beautiful, and your original hair color matches you very well."


    Hearing Charlize''s words, Ryan looked back when he turned the corner of the stairs. The South African Diamond was gently stroking Taylor''s longer and longer curly hair.


    "Don''t you think this hair color is too common?" Taylor seems to have his own thoughts, "Your hair color is honey gold, and Nicole dyed her hair into honey..."


    She understood that she had made a mistake, and stopped quickly.


    "It''s okay." Charlize shook his head and smiled.


    "Let''s go play a game."


    When he came to the first floor, Tyler picked up Charlize with one hand, and Ryan with the other, and walked into the recreation room on one side.


    In addition to the previous indoor games such as billiards and table tennis, a new electronic game room has been added here, which not only has popular arcade machines, but also several high-end computers.


    "The King of Fighters?"


    After entering the game room. Ryan asked Tyler, "Still Street Fighter?"


    "World of Warcraft!"


    With that said, Taylor had already activated three connected computers, and sat in front of the middle one, "I finally got a few 45-level accounts from Mr. Adhan, hurry up, Charlie , And Ryan."


    Seeing Taylor in high spirits, Ryan and Charlize sat on the left and right sides of her, waiting for the computer to start. The respective test account is entered.


    Although World of Warcraft has not officially operated yet, it has entered the open test phase without deleting files. The open servers are almost overcrowded. Ryan and the others queued for more than ten minutes before entering this pve server.


    When the three of them were relaxing before, they also played together occasionally. Although they were absolute rookies, they were not ignorant.


    "Ryan''s hunter, Charlie''s is a priest."


    Tyler looked at Ryan first. Looked at Charlize again, "I am a thief, and I still lack a soldier and a wizard, so we can go kill dog men and women!"


    "Dog man and woman?" Charlize frowned and looked at Taylor.


    "A copy." Taylor sold his brother without hesitation. "This is the nickname Ryan gave them."


    Across Tyler, Charlize glared at Ryan. Ryan spread his hands and made an innocent expression, waiting for Charlize to turn his head. Taylor glared again.


    "Okay, I found someone." Tyler didn''t go to see Ryan at all, and first grouped Ryan''s elf hunter and Charlize''s elf priest into a small team. A dwarf warrior and a dwarf mage were added, and he cracked the keyboard and said, "Okay, let''s go."


    Sitting on the Griffin in Ironforge, this expedition team began a long journey. By the time it arrived at the Scarlet Church, it was already more than ten minutes later.


    "Uh, it looks like a key is needed here..."


    The thief named Hydrangea faced the closed door and reluctantly said in the team channel, "I won''t open the lock..."


    "Neither will I..." The hunter with long ears was equally helpless.


    "Don''t think about me." The diamond from South Africa flashed aside.


    The dwarf warrior looked at these three unreliable teammates contemptuously, walked to the locked gate, and opened the lock easily...


    "Have you been here before?" The soldier asked after entering the instance.


    "I''ve been here several times." Ryan''s hunter wouldn''t admit that it was the first time in this life.


    "It seems like this is my first time..."


    "They are all newbies." The hydrangea immediately exploded the two people''s old bottom, "We are together, I will teach them how to play."


    Warriors and wizards are good players, Taylor''s level is not good, not bad, but Ryan and Charlize try to fall to the back, plus the advantages of the level, there are not too many accidents all the way in.


    Although the scarlet warrior who ran away called for reinforcements and rushed to the second street, the hunter with long ears used fake death to escape the disaster of corpses and corpses. South Africa¡¯s diamonds have avoided the fate of total extinction.


    "Why does your character work?"


    When the character was sitting on the ground drinking water and eating bread, Taylor asked Ryan, "Why doesn''t my character have any life skills?"


    "How do I know." Ryan shrugged to her. "This time the account is yours Everyone chopped melons and vegetables and rushed into the church, facing the red-robed and red-robed man. White Mann, Hydrangea said in the team, "Wow, I finally saw a dog and a man!" "


    "Dog men and women?" The warrior and the wizard were stunned, and agreed, "Very appropriate description."


    The battle begins...


    "Resurrect, my warrior!"


    "Fight for you, my lady!"


    Although it was changed to English, Ryan was still a little emotional when he heard the long-lost words. This was one of the only game lines in his memory.


    Killing the dog and the man, the three of them lost interest, and after the spoils were divided, they quit the game one after another.


    "Alison, rest early."


    When returning to the second floor, Ryan told Taylor, "Don''t forget, we have to go to Australia tomorrow!" (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 617： Deer Hunting

    Australia¡¯s autumn is slightly cool, and the autumn is high and fresh. The sky in Queensland is high and quiet. The fresh air is mixed with a faint fragrance. The tall eucalyptus trees are still lush and green. The sun shines on the carpet from the gaps in the trees. On the grassland in China, there is no barrenness, only emerald green and golden, it is as beautiful as an oil painting.


    The turquoise lake, purple lavender, and pink hydrangeas add a bit of gorgeous color to the already gorgeous picture of the farm.


    Tyler walked downstairs with a small yawn and just entered the living room when he heard Nicole''s questioning.


    "My dear, you slept for eleven hours." Nicole, who was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine, turned her head, "This is the third day!"


    "I''m going to deal with jet lag."


    Tyler tied her golden curly hair into a ponytail while walking. Tyler lay on the back of Nicole''s sofa, glanced at the magazine, and asked, "Where is Ryan? Isn''t he still sleeping?"


    "Follow George and they are choosing guns in the warehouse."


    Hearing Nicole''s words, Taylor stood up, walked to the shoe cabinet, put on high riding boots, "I''ll go see."


    After speaking, he ran out.


    The huge warehouse was brightly lit, and the hound Gru was lying at the door, with a pair of dark eyes, curiously watching Ryan and others standing by the cabinet.


    Dozens of well-maintained shotguns lay quietly in the glass cabinet. Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Drew Barrymore, who were invited to come together, slowly walked from the gun cabinet. Walk slowly to choose your favorite shotgun.


    "I heard that your marksmanship is very good. Have you ever shot a stag?" Tom Hanks stopped, opened the cabinet in front of him, and took out the old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun from it. "Ryan, can you pass on some experience?" "


    "His marksmanship is good?" Drew chose a small-caliber shotgun. Examining Ryan''s old bottom carefully while debunking, "Should be blindfolded, right? I have seen him shooting in Harvey''s clubhouse and his results..."


    She sighed **** purpose and shook her head.


    "Drew is right." Leonardo crossed his arms and walked past the two of them. "In terms of marksmanship, I am much better than Ryan. Why don''t we try this time."


    "Don''t compare!"


    After the inspection, Ryan assembled his shotgun and pointed to everyone in the warehouse. "The first place must be George."


    "George doesn''t count." Leonardo looked at the silent bodyguard, "How can we compare to a professional like George."


    "Then we are better than one." The door of the storeroom was pushed open from the outside, Taylor strode in, first bent over and touched Grue''s head, and then said, "Leon, I am definitely better than you. Lots of prey arrived."


    "My dear, can you use a gun?" Tom Hanks asked with a smile.


    In some North American states where hunting is popular, there are many people who hunt with guns in their teens. There are occasional news in the media that some Mao children hunted bears.


    "Yes..." Taylor shrugged to Tom. "When I came last year, although I studied for a while, but..."


    She made a posture with too much recoil. When everyone laughed, they patted the head of the hound sitting at her feet, "I have Gru, and Gru has many men. They all listen to me."


    Seemingly in response to Taylor, Glu yelled in cooperation.


    "Well, I''ll compare with you. Tyler." Leonardo put the shotgun on his shoulder, "Just this afternoon, it looks like your hunting dog has caught more prey, or my shotgun is more powerful!"


    "Okay." Taylor smiled so that his eyes were almost gone, "If you lose, Leon, when I release the record, you have to join me for free and be a dancer!"


    "No problem." Leonardo nodded without hesitation.


    "poor guy."


    Drew sighed, Ryan also smiled and shook his head. Tom Hanks patted Leonardo on the shoulder as he walked out of the warehouse, "You are fooled."


    "Why do you say that?"


    Seeing everyone walking out, Leonardo hurriedly followed. It was the first time he came here, and he was very puzzled. He asked Ryan, "Will I lose to the kid Tyler?"


    "Don''t forget, you compare by quantity."


    Receiving the shotgun bullet that George handed over, Ryan glanced at him sympathetically, "There are far more hares in the farm than wild deer. The hounds that Gru brought are all good at hunting hares."


    "So, Leon." Tyler turned around and beckoned him. "When I release the record, please be a guest."


    When she returned to the living room, Nicole had changed her hunting outfit long ago, and the horses and off-road vehicles were also ready. Several people who were good at riding chose horses. Fortunately, Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCape. The Rio trio chose an off-road vehicle.


    "I will prepare the bonfire and wait for you to come back." Lisa, who came here together, said to the people on the horse.


    "Lisa!"


    Since last year, Taylor did not need anyone to take care of her horses. She rode to Brigo, who was transported here, and shouted to the housekeeper, "Get ready to make hare soup!"


    After talking, shaking the horse''s reins, Brigo ran out first, then George rode a black horse to follow, followed by more than a dozen hounds headed by Gru.


    "Let''s go, too." Ryan looked at Nicole and drove his horse to chase him. When the off-road vehicle passed him and Nicole, he shouted to the three people in the car, "Everyone, see you tonight!"


    The heavy horseshoes smashed the grass, the barking of the hound broke the tranquility of the farm, and the gunshots from the front showed that the off-road vehicle rushing forward had already encountered prey...


    Ryan and Nicole stopped by a large field of harvested horse racing fodder, and the off-road pickup that followed them kept a distance of hundreds of feet, so as not to overwhelm the prey.


    This large field is hundreds of feet long. The front is connected to a hill covered with woods. On the left is an artificial creek that is more than twenty feet wide. At this time, except for a few haystacks and low grass roots, it can almost be seen at a glance. Looking to the end.


    Gathering several horses together, Ryan walked forward. A few dozen feet away, Taylor was leading a group of hounds and carrying a small-caliber shotgun, standing next to George, observing the situation ahead with military binoculars.


    "Honey, did you find the prey?" Nicole put the cowboy hat buttoned on the back on her head.


    "The hares on the farm are almost flooding." Ryan knelt down and looked at the grass roots that had obviously been gnawed. "If we were to make money on this farm, we would definitely hate these hares and wild deer."


    "Gru!"


    Taylor pointed to a place suddenly and screamed, more than a dozen hounds rushed out like arrows from the string. When their barking sounded, a fat hare ran out from behind the grass roots and fled. .


    These hounds headed by Gru have undergone rigorous training. In the past six months or so, they have experienced countless battles with hares on the farm. They have rich experience and know how to deal with these cunning rabbits.


    Some of the hounds chased their tails, some circumvented them from both sides, and some others such as Gelu speeded up and ran to the front to block.


    There was no suspense. After just a few minutes, Gru ran back with the hare in his mouth, and Taylor took out a handful of jerky to reward these guys who worked hard.


    The staff from the farm at the back took the hare away, and Ryan and the others continued to move forward.


    "boom!"


    There was another gunshot from a long distance away.


    "It''s Big Tom and the others." Taylor picked up the binoculars and looked at it. "It seems that nothing has been hit."


    This farm, after Nicole¡¯s input, has a total area of ??more than 30,000 acres. In addition to some areas developed into farmland, there are also large areas of wasteland, woods and hills. These places are protected by relevant regulations, but Many of the living animals are the scourge of the farm.


    The four of them walked towards the sparse woods at a slight distance. The thick riding boots stepped on the yellow fallen leaves on the ground, making slight cracking noises.


    "Shhh!"


    Not far from entering the woods, George leaned against a thick eucalyptus tree and pointed his finger at Ryan and others. A dozen hounds immediately fell down and were ready to attack.


    The rustle of hooves stepping on fallen leaves suddenly sounded, and it got closer and closer. Looking through the gaps in the woods, some animals were faintly running fast, as if there were natural enemies chasing behind them.


    Australia does not have large wild carnivores. These are obviously wild deer and are hardly threatened by natural animals.


    "It was Tom who fired the shot and alarmed these wild deer." Ryan snatched the telescope from Tyler and observed it, and said, "They should pass fifty feet to our left, gentlemen and ladies. We, it¡¯s time to show your marksmanship."


    As soon as his words fell, Nicole and Taylor had taken off their shotguns, quickly loaded the bullets, and found a suitable shooting position.


    George leaned against the eucalyptus tree, listening to the running sound of the deer all the time20 seconds later, it was the most suitable shooting distance. "


    One stride rushed to the side of another eucalyptus tree, Ryan supported the big tree, raised the gun and aimed straight ahead, ready to shoot at any time.


    This time it was a bit difficult. Although the speed of the deer herd had obviously slowed down from the sound of the running, it was also a moving target.


    About two dozen adult deer appeared in the field of vision. They are obviously very familiar with this woods. They jump and gallop flexibly, and are not restricted by the sparse trees. These guys and their kind have been eaten in the last two years. The farm has more than two million Australian dollars.


    "Shoot!" George shouted, pulling the trigger first.


    After that, Ryan also fired two shots in a row, shooting out the ammunition in the barrel. On the other side, Nicole and Taylor''s muzzles also burst into gunpowder.


    "Gru!"


    Taylor gave another whistle, dozens of hounds rushed out frantically, wild deer frightened by gunshots ran away, and among the trees, several of them could be seen crooked to the ground. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 618： My season

    When the sun was about to sink into the horizon, four horses ran all the way from the farm back to the manor with the roar of the cross-country pickup motor. The excited barking of the hounds and the faint smell of blood showed that the pedestrian had gained a lot.


    Reining on the reins, Ryan rolled over and got off the horse. Like Nicole and the others, he handed the horse to the staff who took care of the stables.


    "Tommy, you came back so early." He beckoned to the Tom Hanks who came by.


    "Hey, Leon!" Taylor took off his cowboy hat and shouted to Leonardo, who had changed into casual clothes. "How many prey did you hit?"


    "My dear..." Leonardo looked at the pickup truck that came in and raised three fingers. "One deer and two hares."


    "So, you are going to lose." He said with a smile.


    "It doesn''t matter if you lose." Tyler rolled his eyes and walked towards the stopped pickup truck. "I didn''t promise you what to do after losing."


    "Uh..." Leonardo was stunned and found that it seemed to be the case. He couldn''t help but patted his forehead and followed, "Taylor, you have grown up and you can no longer be a rascal."


    "The problem is that I won''t lose!" Taylor turned his head and glanced at him. He hugged Nicole''s arm passing by, stretched out a white tender hand, and flipped it back and forth. "I didn''t hit the deer. , But Glu they captured ten hares."


    The farm staff has opened the cargo compartment of the pickup truck and pulled out the harvest of Ryan and his group, three deer and more than a dozen hares from it.


    "Did you see, Leon." Tyler took Nicole''s arm and stood a dozen feet away from the pickup. "You lost."


    "You compare by quantity." Drew Barrymore who walked over deliberately reminded.


    "Okay." Leonardo stretched out his hand helplessly and looked at Ryan, "You didn''t help?"


    "Of course not." Ryan is confessing that the staff will deal with the prey as soon as possible, and at the same time call everyone to hold a bonfire party at night, after hearing Leonardo''s words. Turning around, he said, "With me as an upright and kind person as a guarantee, you should give up, Leon."


    Several people laughed, and their clear voices drifted far away in the wind.


    Darkness engulfed the light, and the clear night sky was dotted with stars. Below the stars, dozens of bonfires burned on the square in front of the manor, reflecting half of the sky.


    Several large grills and temporary stoves were erected at the edge of the campfire. The chefs specially hired from Brisbane used the game meat harvested in the afternoon to cook delicious food, such as roast meat, potato stew, venison, and hare soup, which were successively delivered to everyone.


    There are also small barbecue grills set up next to each bonfire, and those who like to do it themselves can also show off their cooking skills.


    "Australia is vast and sparsely populated, without large carnivores."


    Ryan took a bite of the kebab that Nicole handed over, and the taste was as tempting as when he was a child. After everyone toasted and drank, I continued the topic just now, "The proliferation of wild animals with strong reproductive power is the biggest headache for many farms."


    "The hare plague in Australia is famous all over the world." Tom Hanks took over the fried venison from Tyler. Thank you, "I didn''t expect the size of the wild deer herd to expand rapidly in recent years."


    "Is there no good solution?" Drew put down the beer can and asked.


    "Yes..." turning around the campfire. Taylor, who was acting as a temporary waiter, said first, "We can poison them and kill them all..."


    Just when everyone was covering their foreheads subconsciously. The girl said happily, "But the Queensland government does not allow it. Hunting is possible, but it is not allowed to use any measures that destroy the ecological balance."


    "We have been trying to control their numbers." Ryan looked at Tyler. The girl put her tongue out naughty and jumped over to sit next to Nicole. He shook his head and said, "But the farm is too big. There are forests and wastelands protected by the state government, and the effect is not very obvious."


    "It''s not as good as this." Leonardo suddenly made a very unreliable suggestion, "Let the entire farm be deserted and become a real hunting ground."


    "Leon..." Nicole wiped her hands and raised an eyebrow at him, "This is a farm for vacation and leisure!"


    "Just a suggestion." Leonardo smiled and shrugged.


    A few people talked and laughed. After staying away from the Vanity Fair of Hollywood, they all relaxed a lot. Even Leonardo, who just broke up with Gisele Bonson, was also fighting with Drew Barrymore. The depression was all thrown behind his head.


    "Congratulations yet, Tommy."


    Touching Tom Hanks'' beer can, Ryan asked, "My Grand Greek Wedding should end overseas screenings, right?"


    "Basically it''s down." Tom Hanks drank a sip of beer. "The screenings in overseas markets are not as good as in North America, with about 120 million U.S. dollars in box office."


    "That adds up to $360 million."


    Ryan didn¡¯t think of this movie at all. After all, he was just a person with a better head, not a computer with huge storage capacity. ¡°The production cost of the movie was only US$50 million.¡±


    "Don''t forget, there is still a publicity cost of 50 million US dollars." Tom Hanks said with his chin.


    Nowadays, the cost of distributing movies is getting higher and higher. It is almost impossible for movies to expect huge profits at the box office as they did a decade ago.


    "Ryan, are you interested in working together again?" Tom Hanks suddenly brought up another topic, "My film industry bought the film rights of "The Da Vinci Code"."


    "Tommy..." Ryan shook his head without even thinking about it, "This subject doesn''t suit me."


    "Look at me, I''m drunk too much." Tom Hanks just remembered, and couldn''t help patting his forehead, "Sorry."


    "It''s okay." Ryan just smiled, "Our last cooperation was very pleasant. If we have the opportunity, we will wait for the next time."


    In the previous collaboration of "Brothers", Ryan has now recovered 30 million US dollars of investment, and the subsequent re-screening copyright and DVD video tapes will gradually generate sufficient profits.


    Although the response was good, the investment in this miniseries was too great. Apart from the copyright, there were no other profit points around it. After more than two years of launch, it just earned back a total investment of more than 200 million U.S. dollars.


    Nicole had been whispering to Tyler, and when Ryan turned his head, they were covering their mouths and laughing.


    "What''s so happy." Ryan leaned over, "Can you tell me and share it?"


    "This is a topic among women!" Nicole shook her head and gave him a little push, "You are not fit to know."


    "That''s right, we won''t tell you." Tyler wrinkled his nose at this side.


    "Honey, I heard that Hollywood Records is going to record for you?" Drew beckoned to Taylor and asked, "When will you release the record?"


    "Almost." When it comes to business, Taylor has a calm face, "Don''t worry."


    "Well, can we listen to your new song first?" Tom Hanks made an inviting gesture. "Little guy?"


    "okay then."


    Tyler nodded his chin and stood up, "I''ll get the guitar."


    About ten minutes later, the girl hugged the rosewood guitar and walked over quickly. This was specially made for her by Ryan, and the brand of ¡®¡¯ complemented her.


    "Need Ryan to accompany you or sing a chorus?"


    The people sitting here, now that Nicole would say such things, Taylor shook his head and said seriously, "Music requires not only talent, but also a lot of practice. Ryan has been throwing it away for so long. Got it."


    Tyler was talking about the simplest truth. Ryan smiled and clapped his hands. Several people around him applauded.


    "This is a new song I wrote after I came to Australia." With the acoustic guitar hanging, Taylor stood by the bonfire. Although he was less than fifteen years old, he had his own temperament and demeanor. "I Season, thank you!"


    She didn''t use picks, but directly strummed the strings with her fingers, and the popular country-style tune suddenly sounded.


    "Light blue sky, light blue lake, deep blue sea.


    And floating white clouds,


    The most natural and beautiful color.


    You can never see the beauty of this season,


    Standing here, I couldn''t move an inch, and I was deeply attracted by the scenery in front of me.


    There is no one everywhere, I seem to have come to the end of the world,


    If I can fly, I would spread my wings and wander on the waves with the angels!


    Only the clouds in the sky are still there, and all of them have witnessed the surging waves and silver sandy beaches here..."


    The girl¡¯s singing is ethereal and tactful without any bubbles. It is as colorful as autumn in Australia, and as exquisite and moving as the scenery of the manor, as if this season is rippling in her singing.


    The singing voice was crisp and clear spread far, far away. When the last syllable fell, not only the people on Ryan''s side clapped their palms, but the other people around the fire also clapped vigorously. There was also a voice of applause.


    "Thank you!" Taylor smiled and turned and beckoned to the surroundings, shoveling the guitar to Ryan, and then sitting back next to Nicole, "Temporarily keep it to you."


    "Very beautiful!" Nicole kissed her on the forehead, "Alison, you are our pride."


    The girl pulled her long blond curly hair and smiled brighter.


    Putting Taylor¡¯s guitar away, Ryan smiled brilliantly. As she got older, Taylor showed a musical talent that was completely beyond her previous life. More importantly, she could easily capture every inspiration that floated around her, creating He has a beautiful song that he has never heard in his previous life. This song "My Season", which he wrote after coming to Australia, is a representative of it.


    She will have her own style, her own music, and her own brilliance.


    As long as the time is up, Taylor will inevitably bloom with an extremely bright light. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 619： Australian governments concessions

    The vacation was short. A week later, Ryan took a private jet to leave Queensland and flew to Sydney to the south. Nicole and Taylor stayed on the farm and continued to enjoy their leisure life.


    In the plan temporarily named as the first phase of the Marvel Universe, after the opening title "Captain America", Marvel launched the second work with a linear connection. After long-term preparations, "Hulk" has been prepared for the Oscars. It was officially launched in a studio near Sydney.


    Ryan will not stay in Australia for too long. After getting off the plane, he went directly to the Fox Studios where the crew is located.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    After entering the studio, Ryan met an old acquaintance, hugged him gently, and said, "It''s been a long time, Annie."


    "Yes." James Cameron''s ex-wife said with emotion, "The little guy back then became the handsome guy now."


    "You are welcome to join Surprise." Ryan did not answer her words, but said seriously, "We finally have an excellent executive producer."


    "Thank you, Ryan."


    Anne Hurd made a please gesture and led the way towards the studio, "Director Louis Lightrill is filming, we should speak quieter."


    "no problem."


    Nodded, Ryan walked and looked into the distance. The studio was almost full of green curtains, and he could faintly see a somewhat strange actor wearing a motion capture device, making some angry movements.


    Standing far from the periphery, Anne Hurd introduced some of the crew to Ryan, "Our favorite actor candidate is Mr. Andy Serkis, but he wants to film "King Kong" with Peter Jackson. , We had no choice but to choose the current one."


    "He seems to be very experienced in motion capture," Ryan said with one hand on his chest and his chin.


    "It''s okay." Annie Hurd smiled, "Of course, there is still a gap with Mr. Serkins."


    Now this era of motion capture is not particularly popular, it is not easy to find an actor similar to Andy Serkins in this regard. The Gulu portrayed by the other party is definitely the greatest computer-generated character ever. Even before the Oscars, many media agreed that he deserved a Best Supporting Actor nomination. Unfortunately, the college chose to be conservative in the end.


    Andy Serkis would choose King Kong instead of Hulk. Not surprisingly, after all, he and Peter Jackson are absolutely good friends.


    In addition, the director chosen by the crew is one of the few French directors who can make a difference in commercial films, except for Luc Besson. Although the box office of "Very Human Trafficker" directed by Louis Lightrill is mediocre, But relative investment, it''s not bad. This is also a collaboration between Jenkins Pictures and Luc Besson''s Montage Studio.


    As early as a few years ago, Ryan and Luc Besson finalized this cooperation plan when he was in the public relations for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the Cannes Film Festival.


    After watching the filming for about half an hour, Ryan went to her office with Anne Hurd. After an assistant served the coffee, he chatted about the situation of the crew.


    "We set an upfront budget of 100 million U.S. dollars for this film." Anne Hurd, the executive producer, obviously has a headache for cost control. "But the filming is only a quarter of the progress, so we spend it. I¡¯m afraid that additional investment will be required in the future."


    "You communicate with Surprise for the specific situation." Ryan laughed. "Don''t worry too much, this is Australia."


    "Fortunately, the Australian government will pay for part of the investment in the film." Anne Hurd nodded in agreement, "Otherwise, it would be a headache."


    "So, except for the necessary location." Ryan took a sip of coffee, which didn''t suit his taste, and simply put down the cup. "Our major production selection is a must overseas."


    "If the California government does not make some changes, studios in the Los Angeles area will soon decline."


    "Then it depends on what our old friend Arnold did."


    Schwarzenegger was elected the new governor of California last year. This position is not easy to do. Especially the outflow of the film and television industry is a very troublesome problem. This year the state government also introduced some new improvement measures. The effect is not obvious.


    Although the newly introduced California film tax incentives have increased the tax incentives and increased the annual tax exemption to 200 million US dollars, it can only be better than nothing compared to Hollywood movies that are invested in hundreds of millions of dollars.


    Not only can the tax exemption be used to pay for the offline cost of the film-that is to say, it does not include the remuneration paid to the actors, producers, directors and screenwriters-and the film must be launched within four months of submitting the tax concession application , From the actual situation. This restriction created difficulties for filming, because the filming location, actor schedule, and other details are usually difficult to determine within this period of time.


    Like Ryan, who has a script, quickly prepared, and then started shooting in a hurry, it is only a few of the few.


    Compared to overseas regions and other states, the expenditure of each film crew in California is significantly higher.


    Not only big productions, but even some ** film productions that rarely leave California, gradually choose to shoot in other places.


    This is also related to the tax exemption policy. Under the circumstance of big studios standing in the front, the amount of tax exemption for ** movies from this policy is 5% of the total amount, which is the total amount of all ** movies. The tax exemption is only 10 million U.S. dollars.


    Although the discounts that ** movies get in other regions are also extremely limited, they are better than California, and those large-scale productions of hundreds of millions of dollars have become the delicious food that other regions are vying for.


    Movies can turn inconspicuous places into gold mines, especially the pulling effect of "The Lord of the Rings" on New Zealand''s economy, which has been fully seen in many overseas filming locations in Hollywood.


    Over the years, Australia and New Zealand have learned valuable lessons from Hollywood. Relying on the influx of Hollywood funds, Australian film and television production has tripled since the 1990s, and more and more films are among the best-selling films in film history. They were all shot in Australia.


    Since the Fox Studios in the 20th Century Fox was completed in the suburbs of Sydney in the 1990s, it has immediately become a Hollywood mecca.


    A well-skilled team, abundant attractions, and reasonable shooting expenses are the main reasons for attracting Hollywood filmmakers. There is also a tax concession of up to 12.5% ??for foreign-funded feature films and short films, and even Hollywood Of film and television practitioners are worried about being unfair to the local Australian crew.


    Ryan has received a professional investigation report. Last year, nearly 30% of the financing of the Hollywood film and television industry was invested in Australian filming. Especially in the last two months, investment from Hollywood was as high as Two hundred and twenty million U.S. dollars, an increase of 33% over the previous month.


    This report estimates that due to the growth of Hollywood¡¯s investment in Australia, the American entertainment industry will lose 25,000 job opportunities this year, causing at least $15 billion in losses to the U.S. economy.


    Hollywood filmmakers will not care about these, business opportunities are looming, a Warner studio on the Gold Coast is about to expand, and a new studio in Melbourne''s Docklands will also be opened.


    Not only these, the Australian government will make some more preferential measures in order to attract investment.


    For example, the current filming of "Hulk", when surprise came out that it was considering filming in Australia, the Australian Prime Minister''s Office immediately issued a statement to strive for the investment of more than 100 million U.S. dollars to settle in Australia.


    The statement said, "Although the cast and location of "Hulk" have not yet been finalized, the film will undoubtedly provide Australian film talents with the opportunity to work with top professionals in this industry-whether in front of the camera or Behind the scenes."


    In order to attract this big production to Australia for filming, the Australian government will provide a one-time subsidy of 15 million Australian dollars to the producers, because the filming of this film will bring about a large new investment in Australia and create about two thousand jobs. , And it is estimated that as many as thousands of Australian merchants will provide goods and services for this film.


    "The Hulk" filming in Australia can save at least 20 million US dollars in funds. It is conceivable what choice will be made in terms of surprise.


    Although the Australian government''s decision has been criticized by many domestic organizations, Ryan does not care about these, as long as the Australian authorities can provide preferential treatment, Ryan does not mind moving all suitable films to Australia for shooting in the future.


    I stayed in Sydney for a day to get a rough look at the shooting. After all, this is related to an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.


    "The Hulk" is naturally no longer the smashing product of Ang Lee in the previous life. Surprise redesigned the plot according to the needs of the first phase of the universe plan, which deliberately reduced the plot of Bruce Banner''s unscrupulous destruction after the transformation. Not many viewers will like a superhero who only knows how to be angry, and at the end of the script, the Hulk will fight desperately to maintain the stability and prosperity of the United States.


    Of course, other superhero guest appearances are indispensable in the Easter eggs. This time it will be Iron Man. Marvel has already negotiated a contract with Robert Downey Jr., and the two parties signed a contract for seven movies at once.


    Remember that Hammer in the previous life was also an Australian, don¡¯t you know that he has gone to Hollywood to develop now?


    Ryan was still thinking about this issue when he boarded the plane and returned to Los Angeles, but Hollywood has never lacked muscle men, and it is not difficult to find suitable candidates.


    It''s mainly that the impression left by the pair in the previous life is too deep, Thor and Rocky are simply...


    I abused my brother thousands of times, and my brother treats me like first love! ()

 Chapter 620： Arrows and bullseye

    This is the age of information and the age of the Internet. In April, Amazon and Ryan signed an agreement to officially launch the electronic version of "Harry Potter" in just twelve hours for the entire series. The sales volume reached more than 500,000 sets, which also boosted the sales of physical books in bookstores. In just 60 minutes, they sold 93,000 physical "Harry Potter" books, an average of every second in a day. Sold 21 books, breaking the book sales speed record.


    Subsequently, at a franchise exhibition in California, more than 80 companies around the world purchased the franchise rights of the "Harry Potter" series from Walt Disney, involving more than 2,000 products, this time it brought Up to 1.1 billion U.S. dollars in revenue.


    After the news appeared in the newspaper, Hollywood''s eyes once again focused on the "Harry Potter" series, and Disney Pictures also officially announced that "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" will be released at this year''s Thanksgiving Christmas file.


    The "Harry Potter" series has already come to his house. Although Ryan has long announced that he will focus on the film industry and give up other developments, the past and current literary works are undoubtedly the focus of many film companies. .


    Especially the co-authored "The Hunger Games", this utopian-like youth novel, has become more and more popular since its launch. It was one of the highest-selling books in the United States last year. "Series" and "The Da Vinci Code" have produced a strong response among teenagers.


    Since 2004, the feminist and homosexual movements have emerged one after another. The self-awareness of the newly emerging female group has been continuously strengthened, and they want to play a more powerful role in this society, although this cannot form an essential impact on the patriarchal society. However, literary and artistic works similar to these two aspects have gradually become popular.


    Teenagers and female audiences, as well as innocent adult female audiences, have always been the largest audience for Disney fairy tale movies, even movies like "The Princess Diaries". The proportion of female audiences is close to 60%.


    Movies with women as the main perspective undoubtedly have huge market potential. Many companies have tried Ryan''s transfer of the adaptation of "The Hunger Games", but without exception, they have been rejected.


    In late April, Walt Disney announced the official launch of the "Hunger Games" project. Sophia Coppola will be in charge of the film director. The most important heroine candidate will be Natalie Portman. The investment will not be less than 100 million US dollars.


    Many feminist organizations are rejoicing. After all, how many super-productions in Hollywood, from author to starring to director, are all female-led super productions?


    Those in the Hollywood industry don''t think so. Because they knew that there was a man''s big hand behind the scenes controlling all this.


    Similarly, Natalie and the others would not see it that way.


    "But they are all to attract female audiences." Natalie directly exposed the essence of the facts.


    Today¡¯s sun was exceptionally bright. Ryan sat under the umbrella in the small garden, took an apple from the fruit plate on the table, and threw it to Scarlett Johansson who had just sat down by the back door.


    "It''s not just that." Ryan picked up another apple and bumped it in his hand.


    "What''s the matter?" Scarlett took a bite of the apple and asked curiously.


    "About "The Hunger Games."


    Draw an arrow from the quiver behind her and hung it on the string of a vintage recurve bow. Natalie aimed at the target twenty feet away. He pulled the bowstring in a nearly standard posture, and opened his fingers lightly. Amid the tremor of the bowstring, the arrow flew out like a shooting star. He nailed the target with a ¡®du¡¯.


    "Wow..." Scarlett yelled, and pointed with her finger, "The eight rings, Nat. You have improved again!"


    Shrugging gracefully at Scarlett, Natalie asked Ryan again, "You haven''t finished what you said just now. What else?"


    "Oh¡­¡­"


    Putting the apple on the table, Ryan flew off a falling leaf, "I also found a female producer, Kate..."


    "Which Kate?" Scarlett asked again, the name too common.


    "Ms. Catherine Kennedy." Ryan explained briefly, "She will be solely responsible for the affairs of the crew."


    He turned to Natalie, "Don''t you take a break?"


    "I''m not tired yet."


    Natalie drew her bow again, and after the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, she hit the heart of the target.


    "Ten rings!" Scarlett stood up, "Nate, your talent in this area is much better than some people."


    "Hey, Scarlett." Ryan looked at her with his chin resting on his chin. "You don''t seem to mean anything."


    "Some time ago, Alison called." Scarlett steadily tossed the leftover apple cores into the trash can. "Said someone couldn''t hit a 150-pound head at a distance of twenty feet. Wild deer."


    "So..." Ryan thought for a while, folded his hands on the table, "Do you think Nat is a sharpshooter?"


    "That''s about it." Scarlett sat down again, winking her eyes at Natalie on purpose.


    Ryan picked up the apple again, turned it upside down in his hand, and said with a smile, "Since you have such confidence in Nat, why don''t we take a test."


    "What test?" the two girls asked curiously.


    "You are standing there." Ryan pointed to the target, and then threw the apple to Scarlett. "Put it on your head and let Nat shoot it with an arrow..."


    The two knew that Ryan was only joking, holding back the laughter, and waiting for words behind him.


    "Also." Ryan removed the fruit plate and picked up a small tablecloth underneath. "Nate will use this to blindfold."


    "It''s not fair..." Scarlett muttered.


    "Why do you want to do this?" Natalie knew Ryan better.


    "My dear..." Ryan said seriously, turning the little tablecloth with one finger, "I''m worried that you will be afraid when you see the blood."


    Scarlett laughed first, and then Natalie laughed too.


    She placed the shortbow, took off the quiver, and sat next to Ryan. She took the energy drink from the next basket. After unscrewing it, she took a sip. After seeing Scarlett¡¯s eyes, she suggested, "Rui Well, haven''t you considered playing a role in "The Hunger Games"?"


    "Yeah." Scarlett Johansson also said, "I promised Nat and Sophia, I will be there as a guest of Clover."


    While holding down Scarlett¡¯s Apple rolling over from the table, Ryan looked at Natalie, ¡°It seems that there is no suitable role for me, right?¡±


    "Pita." She laughed.


    "Am I the kind of teenager who needs to be saved?" Ryan shook his head directly.


    "How about Gail Hawthorne?" Natalie suggested again.


    It seems that this is a character who has been playing soy sauce most of the time in the movie?


    After thinking about it, Ryan said, "What do you think of me playing a big villain? For example, Cato."


    The preparation of the film has just begun, and even the script is in the process of being written by Susan Collins and Sophia Coppola, and it will not be possible to enter the shooting period within a few months.


    If nothing else, the film will also be shot in Australia.


    Walt Disney just announced the production plan, and both New Zealand and Australia came to it at the same time. They both wanted to be the filming location for this big production. However, considering all factors, Disney¡¯s first choice is definitely Australia. .


    Because of the youthfulness and fashion elements necessary for the film, Ryan also contacted some of Hollywood''s most prestigious makeup artists and costume designers.


    Anyway, how can you please the young and female audiences to design, as for the reputation of film critics? How many movie audiences, especially young audiences, care about them now.


    After dinner, Scarlett Johansson was sent away, Ryan sat in the room with Natalie to watch TV programs.


    "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith" is about to be released. During the prime time, you can see advertisements for this movie from time to time. As the end of the Star Wars publicly announced by George Lucas, this movie The film is quite eye-catching.


    Even the media reported that after entering April, many avid Star Wars fans have resigned and started to review all Star Wars works from the beginning to welcome the final moments of this series.


    "Will this really be the last one?" Leaning on the sofa, Natalie stabbed Ryan on the other side with her bare feet.


    "What do you think?" Ryan grabbed her calf and scratched the sole of her foot a few times. Natalie Grid laughed and panted and said, "Don''t make trouble, talk about business."


    "As long as it is profitable, how can Hollywood producers let go of the sequel." Ryan let go of Natalie.


    "But George can''t say anything wrong, right?"


    Hearing Natalie say so, Ryan reminded her, ¡°Don¡¯t forget, George is already thinking about retirement. With George¡¯s character, he is likely to sell Lucasfilm after retirement and concentrate on industrial light. Magic, will the company that took over at that time abandon the golden sign of Star Wars?"


    "You...wouldn''t you want to take over?" Natalie raised her body asked tentatively.


    Ryan shook his head, "There is no such plan for the time being."


    There are so many lucrative projects. Now is not the time to consider these. After all, George Lucas is still a few years away from retirement.


    When he came back from Australia a few days ago, he saw Natalie using the social networking site circulated among Harvard students. He immediately remembered her younger brother at Harvard and immediately called Scott to try to contact him. .


    Because he was almost inaccessible in his previous life, he had heard more of the name "Facebook", but he didn''t actually understand it, otherwise he would have found someone to get it out. The goal now is not big, but he just wants to be one of them. Shareholders only.


    Not long after the website went live, after receiving so much investment from Hong Kong in the previous life, Mark Zuckerberg had only about 10% of the shares left in his hands.


    If the website wants to expand and develop, it is a necessary choice to embark on the road of financing as in the previous life. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 621： The answer is love

    May 2004 is a different month for Star Wars fans. According to George Lucas, the myth of "Star Wars", which has lasted for more than 20 years, is about to come to an end.


    As the end of the "Star Wars" series, "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" will be released simultaneously worldwide.


    In the middle of this month, Cannes, a small city in southern France, sounded a first-level alarm to welcome the arrival of the stars of the "Galactic Republic". The premiere of "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith" will be shown. At the Cannes Film Festival, when all the main creative staff appeared on the red carpet together, the large number of people watching the ceremony directly caused traffic in Cannes to be paralyzed for three hours.


    Just after eighteen o¡¯clock in French time, the external speakers of the Palais des Festivals heard heavy breathing sounds of "hoo...hoo" and "hoo...hoo". This is the hero Anakin Skywalker and Ou in the film. After being burned in a duel, Biwang transforms into the classic breathing of a cyborg.


    As the voice gradually increased, a group of "cloned soldiers" dressed in robot costumes gathered from front, back, left and right to line up in front of the red carpet. The audience was shocked by the sudden scene, and they were shocked. Phew, the number of onlookers is also increasing, making it difficult for the French police to defend law and order.


    Samuel Jackson, Anthony Daniel, Christopher Lee and others stepped onto the red carpet successively, triggering a wave of cheers from fans.


    As the male and female protagonists, when Ryan and Natalie walked on the red carpet in dark dresses of the same color, they set off the first climax of the premiere. Anakin Skywalker and Padm¨¦ Amidala¡¯s shouting did not stop after the two walked on the red carpet until George Lucas appeared.


    The real climax belongs only to George Lucas, no matter how much attention the starring actors like Ryan and Natalie are, this is after all the "Star Wars" series!


    When George Lucas stepped onto the red carpet with a strong body, the audience clapped unanimously to express their respect for the film master who made outstanding contributions to the world''s cinema. The enthusiasm of the audience made Lucas respond enough, taking two steps and stopping one step, shaking hands and signing signatures to the fans. Because the fans were too enthusiastic, the short tens of feet of red carpet walked for 20 minutes.


    When George Lucas stepped onto the high steps of the Palais des Festivals, Ryan, who was standing under the huge poster, was the first to clap his palms. Then all the actors, guests and reporters gathered here applauded spontaneously and warmly. Although the applause of''s is not as good as the shouts of the fans below, it is the best tribute to the film master.


    The applause lasted for a long time, and the voice grew louder and louder. We must know that there are more than 400 reporters participating in this premiere. They come from all over the world. Together with the crew and those lucky audiences, they will witness the last chapter of the Star Wars series with their own eyes.


    This star wars final film also detonated the greatest enthusiasm for watching movies since the opening of Cannes. Even if it was only a screening session, the limelight easily overwhelmed the entries in Europe and Asia. Even yesterday¡¯s opening film "Bad Education" and In comparison, there are at least three grades.


    When George Lucas walked to the interview area, reporters swarmed. Surrounded him round and round.


    In today¡¯s premiere, even if George Bush and Elizabeth II come hand in hand, they can only serve as a supporting role.


    "Seven years, it''s finally over."


    Stand beside Ryan. Natalie, wearing a black wide-shoulder evening dress, seemed to be a little emotional, "It''s been a strange journey from 1997 to now."


    "Don''t be so sentimental, dear." Ryan also sighed. The girl who stood in Cannes in the previous life was a bald girl. Her appearance completely changed everything. "There will be a new trilogy waiting for you to shoot soon."


    "Shh..."


    Natalie pointed a finger at Ryan. On the other side came the voice of George Lucas being interviewed.


    "The "Star Wars" series took me twenty-eight years. When the last one was born, I hardly knew how I would live without it. "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" was the whole A very important part of the series, it gives answers to many suspense and associations before."


    Then another reporter asked about the classification of this film in North America. The first few Star Wars films were all unlimited, and "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith" was rated pg-13 by mpaa. .


    George Lucas did not deny that, "This will be the darkest, heaviest and cruelest one in the Star Wars series. In addition, the current rating is stricter. This film is rated pg-13 because it is better than the others. More violent scenes, but I think this level is acceptable. Parents can take their children to the cinema to watch this movie."


    Afterwards, George Lucas ended the interview and walked over to take a photo with the actors.


    "God, you are finally here."


    After standing next to Ryan, George Lucas complained, "At the press conference the day before yesterday, the reporter asked if you would participate in the premiere. I don''t know how to answer."


    "Hey, George." Ryan whispered with a smile, "We are not late."


    He and Natalie arrived in Cannes at noon. After sleeping in the hotel for a while, they rushed over.


    "Ivan is absent." George Lucas remembered another star in "Escape from the Island" and shook his head, "If you and Nat are absent again, this premiere will not be held."


    "George, you are the protagonist here!"


    After the flash, Ryan walked into the main entrance of the Palais des Festivals with Natalie in his arms. As he walked towards Lumiere Hall, he continued with George Lucas, who was walking next to him, "As long as you show up here. , The premiere cannot be deserted."


    Before coming to the Lumiere Hall, Ryan saw many guests attending the premiere, many of whom were acquaintances, such as Quentin Tasino, who is the chairman of the jury of this Cannes Film Festival; such as John? Lasseter, the creative director of Disney Animation took "The Superman Family" into the competition unit...


    Do you want to find a way to get a Palme d''Or for "The Superman Family"?


    After shaking hands with the few people who came over, Ryan was still thinking about this, but quickly gave up.


    Firstly, unless the judges are all crazy, will an animated film be awarded the Palme d¡¯Or; secondly, he saw Harvey Weinstein and Michael Moore with "Fahrenheit 911" in it, which has always been at odds with the Americans. Will the French make other choices?


    "Harvey, what''s the response?"


    After shaking hands with the big fat man, Ryan asked, "Are you sure?"


    "The response was very good, it was beyond our expectation." Harvey Weinstein glanced at Michael Moore concealedly. The latter was surrounded by a group of French people. It was a happy breeze. "The French media and industry insiders are touting. Michael Moore, as long as you do a little work, Palme d¡¯Or is not a big problem."


    "Be careful to direct the fire to yourself."


    After "Fahrenheit 911" premiered in Cannes, although the mainstream media in North America did not lack ridiculous remarks, the main tone was still criticism.


    Harvey Weinstein nodded, "Don''t worry, I know what to do. It''s fine to let Michael Moore out of the limelight."


    Ryan patted his arm lightly and stopped talking about this topic. Harvey Weinstein turned to Natalie, "I haven¡¯t congratulated you yet, Nat, the first feature film went smoothly. To the theater."


    "Thank you." Natalie looked at Ryan with a smile, "I wouldn''t be able to enter the theater so quickly without Disney''s help."


    "How was the response."


    "Normally." Although she said that, Natalie did not show any disappointment. "The experimental taste of the movie is too strong to suit the taste of the audience."


    After a few more words, the guests began to enter the venue one after another. As in the tradition of the European Film Festival, the crew members walked at the end, and when they entered the Lumiere Hall, they were welcomed by the audience.


    Occasionally shook the hand that was passed over, Ryan walked all the way to the front row. Just after sitting down, Natalie hurriedly asked.


    "Juse has been in theaters for three days, and you haven''t told me the specifics yet."


    "Juse" is the experimental feature film directed by Natalie and starring Scarlett Johansson.


    This film was promoted by Ryan to the theater, telling the story of a Jewish girl who came to North America from Israel and how to integrate into her community.


    Just like Natalie said, the style of the film was too experimental and only appeared in more than 30 relatively remote theaters. Except for the posters of the theaters, basically no other publicity methods were adopted.


    As for the box office and attendance rate, it can only be said that it is better than nothing. The average performance of each museum in the three days is only more than two hundred dollars. Although it is not a three-day tour, a one-week tour of the theater is sure.


    Roughly said a few words to Natalie Ryan thought for a while, "The movie will be off the stage soon, we will put it on top again."


    "Look at it." Natalie nodded. Anyway, the $200,000 she and Scarlett invested in didn''t plan to make it back.


    The beginning music of "Star Wars" was played, and "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" kicked off.


    Anyone who has followed the Star Wars series will know the results of this movie. What they care most about is how the film will deal with the process of Anakin? Skywalker''s fall.


    The answer is love. Everything is destroyed by love. Anakin Skywalker and Padm¨¦ Amidala parted ways, turned against Obi-Wan, and finally committed a murder, falling into endless pain and darkness, Lord Black Darth Vader was born in hatred and anger, and fatal tragedies are inevitable...Under the invasion of evil forces, what destroys at the same time is the democratic spirit and system of the Republic.


    The Milky Way eventually fell, and everything is irreversible. However, above the ruins, the new dawn is already shining. Luke Skywalker and Leah Skywalker will unveil the magnificent prelude to the war of freedom and restore the so-called originality. Force balance. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 622： Because of fear of losing

    "Compared with the Star Wars Trilogy, which draws on Norse mythology and the spirit of the Japanese warrior, the Star Wars Prequel is more like a grand and beautiful European court drama. The core content of the European drama represented by Shakespeare lies in the situation of the drama. The trend of life, the entanglement of the characters, and the escalating conflicts..."


    Everyone speaks French as one of the most beautiful languages ??in the world, but after Ryan was awakened by the voice of the French host on the TV, he only felt that it was no different from the noise. He opened his eyes in a daze and pulled the goose down quilt away. When she arrived next to Natalie, who was sitting on the head of the bed, her generous and slender palm expertly got into the girl''s pajamas, and gently rubbed it twice in a small but unusually strong place.


    "Ryan!" Natalie held the hand of the stranger through her pajamas. After throwing away the remote control with the other hand, she pinched his nose. After Ryan was fully awake, she stared at him and said, "Yesterday Hasn''t the madness of the night satisfied you yet?"


    "Oh, dear, you are so attractive." Ryan pulled her over and kissed her, "Nate, you are so attractive."


    "Okay, let''s watch TV together." After Ryan sat up, Natalie automatically put a pillow on his shoulder.


    "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith" has been screened globally for more than three days. As the last chapter of the series, the media has launched various comments and interpretations, even the French media who are dismissive of commercial films. The same is not listed.


    Natalie is watching a related program on French TV.


    ""Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" is extremely important for the entire Star Wars series, because in this episode, the huge republic is replaced by the rising iron-blooded galactic empire, the young Anakin Skywalker tragedy Likely turned into a ferocious black lord, hoping to fall from existence to nothing, victory from the lift of his hand, to nothingness...The two trilogy buckles at the front and back will inevitably cause a strong collision, and the energy level is sufficient. It''s jaw-dropping."


    "The Revenge of the Sith" pushes this collision to the pinnacle of contradiction. Perhaps this movie is still some distance from the perfect space drama, but some of the scenes and plots are destined to leave a deep impression."


    Ryan took a strand of Natalie''s hair, scratched his chin, and said, "I didn''t expect the French media would affirm this type of movie."


    "I heard that the Cannes Film Festival is going to award George a lifetime achievement award." Natalie changed to a more comfortable position.


    Nodded, Ryan stopped saying anything and focused on the TV screen.


    "At the beginning of the film, the subtitle strips of the egg yellow color disappeared into the deep sea of ??stars. This is the old rule every time Star Wars films appear... Then the scenes of the subsequent appearances make people excited. Under the horizon of the Galactic Republic capital Coruscant, the Galactic Republic The cruiser slowly swept forward under the rising light. The gray empire cruiser, which has long been known in the Trilogy of the True Story, found its mother here..."


    "The cruiser of the Galactic Republic and the flagship of the Trade Alliance rebels fired at each other. After watching the film, many military enthusiasts ridiculed this plot, thinking that the advanced space age actually used the ship''s side cannons to fight in the great nautical era. It''s too childish... But in fact, when the starship is in space, the combat style that reflects the classical romantic sentiment is more suitable for such a space opera. If it really solves the problem with a nuclear bomb as some people say. Then Star Wars What charm is there?"


    "General Grievous of the Trade Union is a Jedi warrior''s executioner. He likes to keep his lightsaber as a souvenir after the slaughter. The green lightsaber of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars is quite stunning, and the red-faced Darth is threatened by the ghost. Moore''s double-edged red sword is extremely deterrent. So the four-handed swordsmanship in this appearance can actually be called creepy and terrifying..."


    "Anakin Skywalker, the son of light who prophesied to bring balance to the Force, took refuge in the dark side. Although the process of transformation was slightly abrupt, he stepped into the Jedi Temple coldly and firmly, and then proceeded to kill. Ryan¡¯s footsteps are frightening. Ryan gave Skywalker a unique dark temperament with his superb performance, and took the first step to become Darth Vader, which is a gloomy atmosphere that kills from the dark to the light. Said to be the most imposing scene in "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith"."


    "President Palpatine put on the hood that is about to bring the symbol of the darkest age to the galaxy, proudly in the galaxy chamber as a savior, the Sith monarch came to the galaxy, in order to ensure the safety and long-term stability of the society. The Republic is about to be reorganized into the Galactic Empire!"


    "The Jedi''s supreme elder, Master Yoda, assassinated Speaker Palpatine. The two confronted with a lightsaber. The power of light and the force of darkness violently collided. The Sith the Great did not conceal his arrogant and proud dictatorship. He will once represent the Republic. The seats in the House of Representatives, a symbol of democracy and freedom, were played with applause. What was smashed and broken was the seat of the seat, but what was playing was the democratic spirit of the Republic that had long been obliterated!"


    "I have to say that the above two points are the most pungent satire of the dictatorship, and they are also the most flavorful political metaphors in "The Revenge of the Sith."


    Seeing this, Natalie suddenly raised her head and looked up at Ryan, "Does George have such intentions?"


    "Who knows?" Ryan shrugged and kissed her forehead. "The interpretation of movies is never in the hands of the creators."


    The show continues.


    "Anakin? Skywalker''s evil eyes. Perhaps it was the media''s criticism of the somewhat casual performances in "Attack of the Clones". Ryan once again demonstrated superb acting skills in "The Revenge of the Sith". The look in his eyes after putting on the hood was chilling. Anakin''s original intention to save his lover was, but in the end he was swallowed by the fear and incitement of anger and hatred in his heart. He didn''t put morality and speculation in his eyes. In his eyes, only- If you are not on my side, then you are my enemy!"


    "Husband and wife turned against each other and their master and disciple turned against each other. When Anakin Skywalker was dazzled by anger and violence, it was not only Padm¨¦ Amidala''s hope of life, but also the democracy and republic of the galaxy. Since then, freedom has been annihilated, and dictatorship has followed! Anakin and Obi-Wan drew their swords at each other. The brothers, students and teachers of life and death cannot escape their fate. Because their ideas have turned against each other, there will be a decisive battle behind them.


    "Mustafa is a volcanic planet. When the battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan entered the white-hot stage, Obi-Wan still focused on defense, supplemented by offense, and Anakin was full of anger at this time. , The turbulent lava waves behind him explain everything. This is an excellent display of the character''s inner description given by the background of the stage. It is a gorgeous inner portrayal!"


    "There is also a scene that all movie fans are looking forward to but not wanting to witness. After being seriously injured, Anakin Skywalker is lying on the bank of a lava river, swallowed by flames, and filled with hatred in his eyes. The miserable appearance makes people both love and hate. As Obi-Wan said, he is not the one who brought balance to the Force, he has finally embarked on the path that must be taken."


    "When Anakin really put on the black armor that maintains his normal physiological functioning, from then on, he really bid farewell to the long-known light world. Anakin? Skywalker is still alive, but also Died, so the Black Lord, who endured endless pain and darkness, burned endless anger and hatred, was born, and as the iconic high fever voice replaced Ryan''s crisp voice, Darth Vader accompanied a thick voice. The mechanical smoke got up, the audience stood up and applauded, tears filled their eyes, because one of the symbols of Star Wars, the Black Warrior, is finally back!"


    "Padme Amidala died of anger, but hope was not extinct. Leah Skywalker was adopted by Alderland Star Representative Bell Organa, who later became Princess Leah Organa, and the galaxy led the new political revolution. The pillar of order. Luke Skywalker was adopted by Tatooine''s uncle Irving, who later became Luke Skywalker, the balancer of the force of the galaxy, and the new hope for the return of Anakin!"


    "People are always willing to follow their own feelings!"


    As if thinking of the plot in the movie, and as if touching something hard, Natalie bit Ryan''s chest, "Some people''s **** is really hard to be filled!"


    After that, she propped up and jumped out of the bed, took Ryan''s clothes from the hanger next to him, and threw them over, "It''s getting up early, get up soon? Do you still want to stay in the room today?"


    "Wish. Hope is like this."


    Picking up the clothes, Ryan put it on and said, "Swallow people bit by bit. You hate it at first, then get used to it, and finally you can''t live without it."


    "Is this your fallacy again?"


    As a senior Harvard student who graduated from clinical psychology, Natalie doesn¡¯t take Ryan at all. After she puts on her clothes, she looks at this side with her arms folded, "Desire, hope is just a reason and excuse for yourself. That''s it These words obviously imply.


    Tilting his head, Ryan glanced over there, and then said, "People are often blinded by countless shadows, but they can make you completely lost in desire. What you want is definitely the things you have been caring about!"


    "What do you really care about?"


    Hearing Natalie¡¯s question, Ryan did not answer directly. He looked at himself on the TV screen. It was the fallen Anakin Skywalker and said, ¡°For example, Padm¨¦¡¯s to Anakin, He was afraid of losing them, he had fear and desire, and the emotions derived from these made him make a change."


    "Because I am afraid of losing, I have desire and hope, and I force myself to have power and strength!"


    Jumping out of the bed, Ryan walked to the bathroom with bare feet. When she passed the Nagashima girl who was holding her **** and smiling, she gently pulled her, and the two of them held their hands in a tacit understanding.


    In any case, "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" is considered to be a relatively successful successor to the original trilogy, and movie fans also buy this movie''s account. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 623： Consecutive records

    "Star Wars" has long been more than just a movie, it is a discipline, an empire, and even a religion. Its influence on American culture and society is undoubtedly powerful.


    When President Ronald Reagan named his missile defense program "Star Wars" in the 1980s, the world was shocked; and more than two years ago, Enron employees made false accounts of "Skywalker" and "Dass". The public couldn''t help but be astonished when he came under the name "Wade".


    The Star Wars series launched its first film in 1977, and it has been nearly 30 years now. The five films released have all achieved great commercial success, and each time a new film is released, it will become a grand festival for Star Wars fans.


    For Star Wars fans, "Star Wars" means a kind of belief. "Star Wars" is not only the memory of some special film scenes or characters, but also the memory of youth.


    For example, after Jennifer Lopez participated in the premiere in North America, he once told reporters, "I was a kid when I watched "Star Wars". It was the first one. It was so shocking. Now this series But when it comes to the end, I feel that I will lack a lot of spiritual enjoyment in my future life."


    Although the Latin queen is suspected of being a show, her view is undoubtedly the most appropriate description for movie fans.


    As early as a week before the film¡¯s release, a global employment agency predicted that the film¡¯s release would cause the US economy to lose more than 600 million U.S. dollars, because many employees would take time off from work to watch the premiere.


    In Hollywood, although the Chinese Grand Theater, the traditional theater that originally screened the Star Wars series, has no plans to show the premiere, there are still hundreds of fanatical fans who lined up there for more than a month, hoping to persuade them. The theater staff changed their minds.


    All these show the expectations of movie fans, especially North American movie fans.


    Therefore, "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith" broke the box office record for its North American premiere day.


    The film¡¯s North American box office on the first day reached 51.53 million U.S. dollars, pushing the box office record on the premiere day to 50 million U.S. dollars, although the North American box office plummeted to 35.55 million U.S. dollars the next day. But in the following Sunday, the single-day box office rushed back to 49.09 million US dollars.


    On Monday, a professional investigative agency immediately issued a comment on this phenomenon.


    "After experiencing the movie-watching frenzy on the first day, fans found that almost all of the common problems of the Star Wars series of films existed in this film, and the emotional drama was too bloody. Anakin Skywalker and Padm¨¦ Amidala''s The lines were pale and weak, and expectations fell, which caused a sharp decline in the box office numbers the next day. However, a great director can create a great series of movies, and a great actor can save the box office of the movie."


    "Although George Lucas has done enough, the transformation process of Anakin Skywalker is still abrupt. However, Ryan''s performance saved the role and gave the role of Skywalker to a great actor, so to speak. It was George Lucas'' most wise decision in the trilogy of Prequel to the Star Wars."


    "Compared to the thinness and casualness in "Attack of the Clones", Ryan undoubtedly invested more energy in "Revenge of the Sith" and also had an amazing performance. Not to mention that after putting on the hood Those dark eyes, just a few scenes of the characters'' inner struggles, let people see his profound acting skills."


    "To paraphrase the evaluation of professionals, that is, while remaining confused. At the same time, he appeared desperate and angry enough, like a trapped beast being forced to a corner. He was trapped internally and externally, and was forced to make a decision. In the end, he made a pity. Tragic choice!"


    "With such an outstanding performance, it is no wonder that fans are brought back to the theater!"


    Although it was a complimentary comment, Ryan scratched his head a little when he saw it, because George Lucas asked for a more relaxed relationship. He admits that he didn''t put too much energy into performance in this movie...


    Perhaps Natalie''s words have some truth, a person who is filled with darkness in his heart plays a dark role. There is no need to perform at all.


    In any case, it is an indisputable fact that "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" has to create another record. The first week of box office of 136 million US dollars not only sits on the throne of the North American box office leaderboard, but also creates new ones. Box office record for the first week in North America.


    Such a hot film, the increasingly weak film critics will naturally not let go, they have jumped out to express their views.


    "Star Wars Episode 3 has more action elements per minute than the previous five movies, and the scenes are spectacular. The special effects are more mature than the previous episodes, and of course they are not necessarily very effective. In general It''s better than the previous two, but it''s far inferior to "The Empire Strikes Back"!"


    This is a comment from Roger Albert of the Chicago Sun. Some people are indeed old and always like to live in the memories of the past, but never want to see new changes in the world.


    Younger film critics appreciate the film even more. Female film critic Claudia Pugle said in the column of "USA Today", "Even for non-Star Wars fans, "Star Wars: Episode 3:" Revenge of the Sith is also very fascinating, and fans of the series may be ecstatic to go to another galaxy."


    She gave the movie a high score of nine.


    In general, the film critics still praise the film. After all, this is the end of a series, and this series was still considered by the film critics to be "cheap entertainment" and "children who must die", perhaps nearly three times. Ten years later, film critics still remember the hot slap on their faces from the "Star Wars" series.


    "The movie''s scenes, influence, and iconic actions are all outstanding and almost perfect!"


    -"Wall Street Journal"


    "The best part of George Lucas''s Star Wars!"


    -"Hollywood Report"


    ""The Revenge of the Sith" brought a successful conclusion to the galaxy named''Galaxy''."


    --"Washington post"


    The problems of this movie are also obvious and prominent. George Lucas is really not good at designing romance plots and dialogues. Most of the criticisms of this movie are directed to the dialogues, especially in romantic scenes. The film critics And movie fans invariably criticized some of the lines in the film for being pale and weak or even clich¨¦s.


    However, these will not affect the huge success of the film at the box office.


    In France, where the official premiere was held, the box office in the first week reached more than $26 million, which also broke the local box office record for the first week.


    "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith" also performed well in the first week of the box office around the world, with more than 1,800 US dollars in Germany, more than 12 million US dollars in Australia, more than 19 million US dollars in Japan, more than 22 million US dollars in the United Kingdom...


    This year¡¯s Cannes Film Festival is not a paradise for European and Asian literary films at all, but Hollywood¡¯s world, the focus of newspapers and movie fans¡¯ discussions, and it¡¯s all covered by "Fahrenheit 911" and "Star Wars Prequel 3: Sith "Revenge" grabbed it all.


    If it weren''t for "The Superman Family" to be officially released at the end of May, I''m afraid those so-called art films would be really scarce.


    "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith" has achieved great commercial success. European movies that are about to die will never be able to match. Some reporters from Europe will inevitably say that "Hollywood has only business". He would even say these words to some filmmakers from the United States.


    Ryan and Natalie were asked this question by several reporters when they were strolling along the coastal road.


    "George Lucas'' achievements are beyond the reach of most artists. He created a great world and fascinated us."


    In the face of these guys from Europe, Ryan doesn''t mind saying a lot of good things for Hollywood''s ¡®comrades¡¯, not to mention George Lucas is still his friend.


    After saying this, Ryan nodded his finger behind him, and a bodyguard immediately came up to stop the reporters, and he accompanied Natalie to the waterfront pier.


    As for the questions about the actual relationship between the two, Ryan and Natalie ignored them. All of them had a tacit understanding and would never answer questions in this regard. If there is a tabloid that likes hype, then go for it. , Ignore it.


    On both sides of the coastal promenade are tall and neatly arranged palm trees. The side facing the sea is the famous golden beach, and at the end of the beach is the famous luxury yacht marina with dozens of luxury boats with a unit price of more than one million US dollars. yacht.


    "Next time I come to Cannes."


    The two gradually approached the pier and looked at the white yachts. Ryan said to Natalie, "We will take the yacht directly."


    "Do you think that the small marina in Cannes can park 400-foot yachts?"


    Taking a step forward, Natalie stepped on the trestle bridge of the pier and turned to the railing. Her brown eyes chased a flying seagull and turned to the sky. Ryan stood beside her, looking at the calm sea, and continued As a joke, "We can park the yacht on the open sea and then take a helicopter to land directly on the tarmac on the top of the hotel."


    "As long as you like it, then I will accompany you." Natalie squeezed his hand firmly.


    She knew very well that Ryan would only say these unscrupulous jokes when facing people close enough.


    The two of them held hands and walked slowly towards the end of the trestle bridge, occasionally seeing a unique yacht, and would stop to comment. When some yacht owners invited to take a group photo, they were enthusiastic and they did not refuse.


    "Will you go back after the film festival?"


    At the end of the trestle bridge, Natalie looked at the blue water below, "Sophia and Ms. Kennedy agreed to let me be one of the assistant directors. We will prepare the movie with them."


    "This is a rare learning experience." She added.


    "I will go back after the awards ceremony."


    Since he has agreed to attend the French side, he will not fail. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 624： Film and politics

    "Congratulations, George."


    Ryan hugged George Lucas, who came back from the podium, and the film master who was about to quit the directorship said, "This award belongs to all the main creators who participated in the Star Wars movie."


    Just now, the organizing committee awarded George Lucas a special award-the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Cannes Film Festival.


    "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith" made a big splash at this Cannes Film Festival.


    This is destined to belong to Hollywood¡¯s Cannes Film Festival. When Ryan¡¯s energy returned to the podium, Michael Moore with glasses was whispering with Quentin Tasino on the stage, and then from Sophie? Marceau took over the Palme d''Or at the 57th Cannes Film Festival.


    When he stood on the stage with his mouth covered to receive the award, there was very strong applause from below, but there were boos and whistles mixed in with the applause, so that he could not give his acceptance speech. After five or six minutes, The scene calmed down.


    Michael Moore finally gave his acceptance speech, as always with a bright political color.


    "I don''t know how to express myself. I thank the jury, the Miramax Company, and the people who work with me. A few weeks ago, we still encountered a lot of difficulties, and now the whole world can see this A movie. Someone has stolen freedom. Now there is a President of the United States of America. He has deprived the people of their freedom. I want to dedicate this Palme d¡¯Or to all the children in Iraq, all the children in the United States, and those Americans in Iraq. , I am not alone. At least tens of millions of Americans have the same views as mine."


    With the end of the Iraq War and the disappearance of weapons of mass destruction, and "Fahrenheit 9/11" will be released in North America, Michael Moore clearly wants to seek greater demands, such as influencing the presidential election.


    Unfortunately, this person''s vision and ability do not match his ambition in the slightest. Counting on a documentary to influence the presidential election involving so many interest groups is just a naive joke.


    Don''t talk about the Republican Party. Even the Democratic Party, the opponent of the Republican Party, will not support this documentary.


    Using at most half of the facts to mix the other half of the lies, the Palme d¡¯Or winner is no different from the President Pighead and the federal government that he criticized.


    Perhaps Donald Trump will support him. This rich man who treats his show as an instinct has announced that he is ready to participate in the next presidential election. The only regret is that. The two-term celebrities of North American politics and business only regarded Donald Trump''s actions as a comedy to be staged again.


    Just as Ryan was thinking about it, the award ceremony has come to an end, and there will be a short press conference below, followed by a reception held by the organizer.


    Almost all reporters were immersed in the political frenzy set off by "Fahrenheit 9/11", and the questions they asked revolved around the documentary. The French actress Emmanuel Bea, who served as a judge, even replied, "We are indeed serious. I have considered whether to give George Bush the Cannes film emperor!"


    As for the chairman of the jury, Quentin Tastino. He made no secret of his love for this documentary, and almost seized every opportunity to praise "Fahrenheit 911."


    I don¡¯t know if this individual director is superb or really emotional, even during the period he even used four or five ¡®¡¯ to enhance his tone.


    And when a reporter said that some parts of the film are not even as good as the TV screen. Quentin was very angry. He said loudly, "I know you only like beautiful pictures, and you are only interested in this. Okay, let me answer your question. Movies are not just beautiful pictures. You see the United States on TV. Has the soldier abused the photo of Iraqi prisoners of war? It is not beautiful. But it is powerful. After seeing it, I sadly put my head away..."


    When the reporter wanted to continue, Quentin said like a child, "I don''t want to listen to you."


    Then angrily took off the earphones used by the interpreter, and slammed on the table, no longer listening to the reporter''s speech.


    Politics and regional concepts have never been far away from the film. Although it is claimed that awards have nothing to do with politics, all the members of the jury present were immersed in political passion, and almost all of them were positive about the film "Fahrenheit 911" winning the Palme d¡¯Or .


    To the reporter¡¯s microphone, they made announcements such as "The film caught me, made me laugh, and then saddled me again in the next minute", "It is a brand new film that I have always hoped to see in the film festival", "It is a very powerful film that reflects the current reality" and other compliments.


    France seems to have made up its mind to use the biggest praise to praise this documentary, which is not seen by mainstream American society.


    Even when a Hong Kong reporter asked why "2046" did not win any awards, he was interrupted by the French judges. He directly said roughly, "Please don''t ask questions about such a standard film. We have limited time."


    When all this is over, sitting in the celebration reception held by the organizer, the filmmakers from Hollywood can be said to be very distinct.


    Representatives of mainstream movies headed by Ryan and George Lucas sat together, and had no contact with Michael Moore and others on the other side.


    "Hello, Ryan, it''s been a long time."


    "Hello, Miss Cruz."


    After the organizer''s short ceremony ended, Penelope Cruz took the initiative to say hello, Ryan gently shook her stretched hand, and then nodded.


    There was an endless stream of people who came to say hello, including a certain director surnamed Zhang, whose words were polite and thankful. After all, the distribution company introduced by Ryan allowed his work to create a box office record for mainland films in North America.


    Although the film was bought out of the North American copyright by Miramax, it is an honor even if the money is not distributed.


    "Hero" got a box office of 53.71 million US dollars in North America. Although most of them came from the contributions of Chinese and Asian audiences, it was enough for Miramax to recover the cost of buying copyright and publicity at the box office. As for the last How much profit can be made depends on the copyright of the TV and DVD videos behind.


    Ryan knew that the other party was thinking about the North American release of "Ambush on Ten Sides", but didn''t pick up his topic at all. After a few casual chats, he threw him to Harvey Weinstein, with the character of a big fat man, Fortunately, if you don¡¯t like movies, you can definitely squeeze every drop of oil from these overseas filmmakers.


    In some ways, it is not unreasonable that the director surnamed Feng called him a liar.


    But the essence of capital is to chase benefits, and Hollywood''s purpose is business first. Who will do things that do not have benefits and act as abusers of good people?


    "It looks like the dishes here are to your liking."


    A few simple words dismissed Miss Zhang who knows how to wink away, Ryan turned her head, and Natalie, who was sitting next to her, was eating delicate French dishes. After hearing his words, she wiped her mouth. Said, "Because in the process of eating, you can avoid a lot of unnecessary entertainment."


    "My dear, you are so smart." Ryan also picked up the knife and fork, and Natalie shrugged and said in a voice that only they could hear, "These people who came here are either from Europe or from Asia. Get to know them. It doesn¡¯t benefit us, does it?"


    "Oh, Nat." Ryan whispered exaggeratedly. "You are so realistic."


    "I learned it from you."


    After speaking, both of them laughed.


    The reason Natalie said is simple and true. They need Hollywood, and Hollywood may not need them.


    Ryan can socialize patiently, but he doesn''t want to be rude in public. The etiquette education he has received since childhood does not allow him to be rude in such occasions.


    About ten minutes later, Harvey Weinstein walked over from the other side and sat in the seat John had given him freely.


    "The asking price is too high." The big fat man shook his head. Seeing that Ryan wasn''t very interested, he had to continue, "He and his investors put forward a sell-off price of 20 million U.S. dollars, God! They are crazy. Is it? This is just an Asian movie!"


    "Then give up." Ryan took a tissue and wiped his hands. "No matter who bought the North American copyright, such a price would only lose money."


    After Harvey Weinstein greeted Natalie, he said to Ryan, "Go on, I''ll talk to a few overseas producers, it will always be a bit rewarding."


    Not long after the other party left, Ryan was ready to leave and go back to rest early, and will return to North America tomorrow, and there is a long-distance trip waiting for them.


    Just walking into the elevator, John Lasseter and a few people from Pixar''s studio also walked in.


    "Ryan, can you take your private jet by the way?" John Lasseter was not welcome.


    "No problem at all."


    The elevator arrived at this time, and Ryan walked in with Natalie, and continued with John Lasset who followed, "Is the premiere of "The Superman Family" ready?"


    When the elevator door closed John Lasseter gestured to him with an "ok" sign, "Just wait for the schools in North America to be off."


    Both of them live on the same floor, exit the elevator and enter the corridor. John Lasseter sighs in a low voice, "We avoided Warner''s "Troy", but we will face Sony Columbia''s "King Arthur" the next week."


    "The audiences of these two films are different." Ryan stopped at the door of the room, not caring.


    "There will always be some unpredictable effects." John Lasseter also understands this truth, but if a movie is too hot, it will definitely have a huge impact on other movies in the same period.


    He saw Natalie open the door and waved here, "See you tomorrow, Ryan."


    "See you tomorrow." Ryan walked into the room.


    Starting from "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith", another hot summer file opened the curtain. Several large productions with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars will start fighting in this hot schedule. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 625： Troy

    2004 was an ordinary year, but it was different for Hollywood.


    The difference is that there are so many commercial blockbusters released this year, which can be called the highest average investment in history and the craziest time ever.


    Maybe after a few years, when looking back, Hollywood industry insiders will find it incredible.


    "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith" has been released. The production cost is 120 million U.S. dollars. The total cost must reach 200 million U.S. dollars, and the film was refreshed in the first week. The North American weekly box office record, the North American box office exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars in ten days, which seems to be a good start for the next blockbuster.


    But will it really be like this?


    Even if professional organizations predict that the total box office in North America will exceed $10 billion this year, the market cannot accommodate so many big productions, some of which will inevitably become cannon fodder.


    This is Ryan''s thoughts after sitting on the plane and seeing the list of movies to be released this year.


    Not to mention those literary and artistic films and pornographic films that do not account for much market share, but those commercial films that cost hundreds of millions of dollars in production, even if he is a bit stunned.


    Let''s take a look at the movies released by Disney this year.


    "The Superman Family", the production cost of 100 million US dollars, will be released in early June.


    "Spider-Man 2", the production cost is 150 million US dollars, and the release date is set in July.


    The production cost of "X-Men 3: Last Stand" was US$200 million. In order to avoid the fierce competition in the summer file, Surprise delayed the release time of this movie.


    "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", which cost $100 million to produce, will be launched on Thanksgiving Day.


    The production cost of "The Day After Acquired" was $125 million, and it was selected to be released after "Spider-Man 2".


    The production cost of "National Treasure" was 100 million U.S. dollars and was released in early November.


    This does not include a series of films with no more than 100 million investment such as "The Bournemouth 2", "Escape from Tehran", and "Princess Diaries 2".


    This is just the Disney family, and the following list is even more terrifying.


    Warner Bros.''s "Troy", the production cost of 175 million US dollars. Coming soon; "Alexander" production cost 155 million U.S. dollars, released in October; "Polar Express" production cost 180 million U.S. dollars; "Catwoman" 100 million U.S. dollars, "Wonder Woman" 115 million U.S. dollars...


    There are other companies, "King Arthur", "Van Helsing", "Mechanical Enemy", "Garfield", "Happiness Terminal" and so on.


    The production costs of these films are more than 100 million U.S. dollars, and if the promotional expenses are included, the average investment per film must exceed 200 million U.S. dollars.


    among them. How many can be successful at the box office? How many peripherals are needed to achieve profitability in the later period? How many years or even more than a dozen years before the cost can be recovered? There are still some who still have huge losses in the past thirty years...


    The most typical one is "Catwoman", which has already been discontinued in North America. This big production led by Harry Berry has only recovered $40 million in the box office, and Warner Bros.¡¯s first shot was lost. A comic hero that has to be re-examined.


    At the same time, it also made Hollywood realize that finding a black actress as the only protagonist in a commercial production is a very unwise choice.


    of course. All the filmmakers believe that their big productions will be successful. The box office results of "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith" show that the audience is still very much buying the money for the big productions.


    After returning to North America, Natalie joined Catherine Kennedy and Sophia Coppola. Starting to prepare for "The Hunger Games", Ryan accepted the invitation of Time Warner President Don Logan to participate in the premiere of "Troy".


    In terms of investment, this movie can be regarded as the peak of Hollywood commercial production. In addition to the production cost, Warner Bros. also issued a huge publicity expense of 125 million U.S. dollars, pushing the total cost to a terrifying figure of 300 million U.S. dollars.


    The goal of Warner Bros. is simple. Create the "Titanic" from the epic war movie!


    "According to our estimate..."


    In the front hall of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, Brad Pitt said to Ryan, "The box office will reach at least 100 million US dollars in the first week!"


    This project was almost promoted by him, and he also served as a production manager.


    Nodded, Ryan turned to him, "Hello, Jane, it seems this is the first time we have seen each other."


    "Hello, Ryan." Jennifer Aniston took the initiative to stretch out his hand. Ryan shook it lightly, and suddenly remembered something, and said seriously, "Jane, and Pete, are interested in acting together. A movie?"


    "We?" Brad Pitt was stunned.


    "Yes! You guys..." Ryan pointed at him and Jennifer Aniston with his index finger, "the hero and heroine!"


    "of course!"


    What does his invitation represent, who in Hollywood doesn''t know, Jennifer Aniston, who is eager to transform, said quickly, "I have no problem."


    After speaking, she looked at Brad Pitt.


    "As long as you need it!" Brad Pitt is not a fool.


    "This will be a gunfight action movie." Ryan held his chin and thought for a while. It would be more appropriate to wait for "Troy" to be released for a period of time before negotiating the contract. "Sometimes Disney people will come to you."


    "Waiting at any time."


    With a wave of hands, Ryan walked into the theater''s main hall. Movies like "Smiths", from creativity to the stage to the fight, there is almost nothing new, and more shows the commercial appeal of Hollywood superstars, and past lives. The influence of that super gossip.


    Um... you can set a heavyweight female role for the villain, and invite Angelina Jolie to play it. If the scene of catching the **** in bed is staged again, the box office of the movie will definitely not be a problem.


    That''s it.


    It wasn''t until the beginning of the movie that Ryan temporarily threw these thoughts aside.


    This is a fairly good commercial film. Although the scene is not as good as "The Lord of the Rings", the close-in cold weapon combat of tens of thousands of soldiers can still touch people''s audiovisual nerves. The yellow city, the blue sea, and the magnificent battlefield. , The scene almost did the description of Homer''s epic.


    But the movie¡¯s problems are equally prominent, the rhythm is too slow, as if it is something that can be said clearly in one sentence, it is necessary to say five sentences.


    Secondly, some sensational techniques are too low-level, such as repeated use of frontal close-ups of spectators, and these actors'' performances are too straightforward, with wide-eyed brows and frowns doing sobbing, lacking like Gandalf in "The Lord of the Rings" , Aragorn, Hidden and other characters.


    At the same time, the main line of the story is not clear, and each character is only clicked. Even the most important role of Achilles is not deep enough. His mother flashed past and seemed inexplicable.


    Also, the essential vases in commercial films are not beautiful enough.


    Probably because of improper makeup, lighting, and lens use, Helen, who can trigger a war, no matter his body or appearance, looks pretty pretty. It is estimated to be two blocks away from the beauty. The girl that Clius fell in love with was unbelievably like a sloppy slave girl, and one had to doubt the beauty of this epic hero.


    Fortunately, the filmmakers did not let the Greek gods come out to make trouble. If they were loyal to Homer''s original work as suggested by some film critics during the screening, it would really become an incurable hodgepodge.


    If the investment in the film can be cut in half, perhaps "Troy" will become a successful commercial film, but having said that, if the investment is reduced, it is impossible to make such a grand production.


    Perhaps these wars that have nothing to do with the Americans really do not invite North American audiences to wait. When Achilles played by Brad Pitt and Hector played by Eric, the audience in the back row was actually duel. There was a rare burst of mocking laughter.


    You know, North America is a mature film market, and these whistling laughter are often treated as bad films.


    Ryan''s gaze swept away from him, and the faces of several Warner executives sitting here with him were not pretty, and the subsequent North American box office also confirmed this.


    Two consecutive days of more than 17 million US dollars in a single day is not bad, but on the third Sunday, when the movie box office should be the most powerful time, the box office of "Troy" fell to 12.05 million US dollars.


    The box office in North America in the first week of 46.86 million US dollars, just a little more than the first week of "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith", and a far cry from the US$100 million expected by Warner and Brad Pitt.


    Although "Troy" pulled "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" from the North American box office champion, the box office results are really a bit horrible compared to investment.


    Of course, this is just the beginning, and there are also movies that have made great efforts to achieve a big box office harvest in the later period of history.


    For example, in the previous life "Titanic", UU Reading only had a poor box office of more than 28 million US dollars in the first week. It was unanimously ridiculed by film critics. Later, like the Star Wars series, it crushed what the critics said. Vision and dignity make Oscar bow his head.


    But will "Troy" be the "Titanic" of the epic war movie?


    The biggest competitor of this film now is "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith", "Troy" box office in the second week of 32.61 million US dollars, "Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" box office in the fourth week 34.45 million US dollars, successfully regained the box office champion.


    The North American box office of "Troy" was less than US$80 million in two weeks, in stark contrast with the US$338 million in the four weeks of "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith".


    Only two weeks later, Warner Bros. was prepared that the North American box office of "Troy" would not exceed the production cost, and understood that this movie would definitely not recover the cost at the box office.


    Because there will be two more major productions to be released in succession, after entering June, Disney Pictures¡¯ "Superman Family" and Sony Columbia¡¯s "King Arthur", which was heavily invested by Sony Columbia, will land on North American theaters every other week. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 626： Qualified model

    Facing "Troy" with far lower box office numbers than expected, Warner¡¯s executives are also reflecting on the fact that this is their second major production failure this year. The box office failure brings not only investment losses, but also stock prices. The decline and the accountability of shareholders can be imagined.


    Why did it fail? This is the most clear question the Warner Bros. Board of Directors wants to ask.


    Since Ryan entered Walt Disney, the number of co-productions has inevitably shrunk dramatically. Warner''s management also anticipated this situation, so they increased their investment and wanted to occupy more market share.


    "Ryan is like magic!"


    At the board meeting of Warner Bros., an executive director said a lot of people¡¯s heartfelt words, "He has decided to make a big investment, and he never has to worry about returns and profit."


    "We shouldn''t use Brad Pitt at all." Another director complained, "If Ryan was cast as Achilles, these are not problems now."


    "The question is will he appear?" Warner Bros'' Gerald knocked on the table. "Except for the Star Wars series, which has already signed an actor contract, after entering the new century, has he appeared in movies made by other companies? ?"


    Everyone fell silent. If Ryan and Warner had not had a long-term and happy cooperation, even the "Harry Potter" series, they might not be able to participate in part of the investment.


    "In another week, Sony Columbia''s "King Arthur" will be released." Someone said worriedly, "The situation for "Troy" will be even more difficult."


    "Not necessarily." Gerald reminded, "The box office of "Troy" is lower than our expectations, I am afraid "King Arthur" will be worse."


    "That''s right." The director immediately agreed, "This script was first invested in Touchstone Pictures, and it was also approved by some people in Disney, but it was rejected by Ryan."


    Others suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and their tight expressions eased a lot. It seemed that someone was more unlucky than Warner. They can relax.


    Sitting at the head of the conference table, the President of Time Warner, Don Logan, who has never spoken, suddenly spoke. He asked Gerald, "You and Ryan have always had a good relationship. What projects he has vetoed over the past few years."


    The meaning in the words is very clear. Warner will not take over these projects in the future.


    "The biggest project is "King Arthur"." Gerald thought about it, and then said, "Also, Ryan cancelled the two film contracts between Disney and Jack Chen and cancelled all subsequent cooperation plans with him. "


    "The cancellations are "Flying Dragon Rebirth" and "Around the World in Eighty Days." He added.


    "Notify all the companies under Warner." Don Logan did not hesitate. Said to his assistant, "Don''t participate in the investment of these two films anymore..."


    "Forget it..." He waved his hand suddenly, "Or inform them not to invest in any Jack Chen movies in the future."


    No one opposes these words. After all, in Hollywood''s eyes, the other party''s value surplus is extremely limited.


    "Also." Don Logan continued, "Isn''t the "Wonder Woman" samples almost finished? I remember someone mentioned that Gail Gado is a friend of Natalie Portman? In the name of Warner Group, Ryan was invited to participate in the test film, and I hope he is willing to make some comments.


    Everyone looked at each other and understood the poor performance of several major productions. Even the senior executive of the group company felt the tremendous pressure. Otherwise, how could he ask the surprised boss to advise on the superhero movie?


    After the acquisition of AOL, Warner has been in bad luck. Ryan, who is hiding at home as a model, knows this very well.


    of course. He doesn''t need to think about these now, but obediently be a qualified model.


    Standing in the design room specially remodeled for Charlize, Ryan is like being carved out of marble, letting the South African diamond stick a pair of men''s sunglasses designed by himself on the bridge of his nose.


    Put on the last pair for Ryan. Charlize stepped back two feet and looked at him carefully with his arms folded over his chest.


    "Is it all right?" Ryan felt itchy eyebrows.


    "I found a very serious problem."


    Holding his chin, Charlize walked around Ryan. Seeing her back to the other side, Ryan couldn''t help asking curiously, "What did you find, dear?"


    "You put on any pair of sunglasses..." Charlize walked over, took off the sunglasses, and gently squeezed Ryan''s face. "They are all so charming."


    "Oh, do you need me to thank you for your compliment?" Ryan grabbed her and kissed the soft red lips.


    "You''re welcome." Charlize walked back to the workbench, put his sunglasses on, and said back, "If you really want to thank you, then please help my ct sunglasses as an endorsement."


    "May I ask how much the endorsement fee is?" Walking to the workbench, Ryan sat on Charlize''s work chair, "If it is too low, I won''t agree."


    "Really?" Charlize suddenly turned around, sat on the workbench with a leap, and looked at him with his **** folded, "If..."


    She kicked off the slippers hanging on her feet, and stretched out a slender straight leg towards Ryan, "I... use myself as a reward, can I?"


    "Dear¡­¡­"


    Ryan stretched out his hand and grabbed the thin, thin ankle, and kneaded it without heaviness. "Are you... are you tempting me?"


    "Of course... not." Charlize snatched his leg back, jumped off the workbench as fast as possible, and moved away from Ryan. "Even if it is a temptation, it is not now. I am going out. I must go. To the company."


    She didn''t wear shoes, so she opened the door of the studio with her bare feet, turned her head and waved, "That''s a designer with great potential. I must meet her in person."


    After Ryan nodded, the door closed again, and there was a soft noise.


    In just these two months, with the help of Ryan''s huge resources, Charlize¡¯s''ct'' fashion company has been established. Although it is still in its rudimentary form, after leasing an office floor of Disney on Mondeo Avenue, roughly The shelf is set up.


    Even candy with the image of Charlize has appeared in Disney children''s stores in the greater Los Angeles area since last week.


    Regarding the business Charlize wants to start, Ryan will certainly not stand by. Some of his management team have been assisting South African Diamonds, such as acquiring this good taste but not big brand confectionery...


    His team has a full set of plans for how to turn the names of South African Diamonds and Oscars into commercial interests.


    Yesterday, Ryan received a call from Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Touchstone Pictures began negotiations with their agent about the new film. The box office performance of "Troy" was far worse than expected, and the touchstone was given. Enough reason to keep prices down.


    Such negotiations must continue for a long time, and Ryan is not in a hurry.


    As for Angelina Jolie, she is also very inclined to cooperate with Disney. How many people will refuse the fame and fortune?


    Back in the study on the second floor, Ryan sat in front of the computer and read Disney''s report from last month, and then received a call from Scott Swift.


    "Good job, Scott."


    Hearing the news from the other party, Ryan smiled and said, "You can weigh the specific things."


    The thing is very simple. In the name of a foundation of Ryan, Scott sent someone to Harvard University to find Mark Zuckerberg. After more than a month of negotiations, the other party accepted their investment and stepped out to raise funds. The first step in expansion.


    Of course, the investment is not large. For the time being, I have only obtained 20% of the shares. I will definitely have to raise funds in the future, and there are still opportunities to invest.


    Regarding investment matters, after years of tempering with large sums of money, Scott can be described as proficient. Even if there is no investment raised by Ryan, he will earn more and lose less, such as the percentage he bought two years ago. The fifth share of Netflix has now doubled.


    Today, Ryan has dozens of foundations, both large and small, either lightly or darkly, and Scott operates like a fish in water.


    These are all methods used to accumulate wealth or maintain value. His foundation is still centered on film and television and a wide range of peripheral industries. Although the market value of Walt Disney today is still a little behind News Corporation, as the stock price continues to rise, it has become more than them. The world''s largest media group by market value is not impossible.


    Ryan still clearly remembers that in the last few years of his previous life, Walt Disney has become the world''s number one media company. Although it may not be as good as News Corp or Time Warner in terms of media, Disney itself is extremely powerful in transforming blood. .


    Of course, if Rupert Murdoch can fulfill his long-held wish-the acquisition of Time Warner-then this behemoth in the media industry will certainly be unmatched by Disney.


    The problem is that even if Murdoch''s financing is successful, the federal government will never allow this transaction to occur.


    June has already begun The major colleges and universities in North America have holidays.


    Teenagers, the largest consumer group in the movie market, will always be the focus of Hollywood.


    On the second weekend of June, Disney¡¯s film specifically targeting this group will be released. This is Pixar¡¯s "Superman Family".


    If placed on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, this type of film is undoubtedly the best choice to be released before June 1, but this is not the case in North America.


    Although Children¡¯s Day has an international name, children in the United States are not on this holiday, and most Americans do not have this concept. In addition, there is also International Labor Day, although "May 1st" International Labor Day originated in the United States. However, Labor Day in the United States is not on "May Day". Labor Day in the United States is the first Monday in September...


    The earliest Pixar animated feature films will try to avoid collisions with other companies¡¯ large-scale productions. This is also related to Pixar¡¯s lack of confidence at the time, but after continuous success, Pixar¡¯s first choice for animated feature films is the summer file. , They are no longer afraid of competition, even if there are super productions such as "Troy" and "King Arthur".

 Chapter 627： Remarks of veteran film critics

    In this busy season, Ryan also accepted an invitation from the White House and flew to Washington to attend the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner.


    This is an annual traditional event of the Washington authorities with decades of history. The political, business, press, sports, and entertainment celebrities gathered together for a humorous night.


    Here, you can not only see the giants of the media industry, but also the stars of Hollywood and sports, you can also meet well-known media reporters, and you can also meet some of the famous rich people on the Forbes rankings.


    Of course, most of the top rich are busy people, they only show up occasionally for a year.


    The White House Correspondents Association dinners are usually held in the Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC in the form of formal dinners. Of course, the incumbent president¡¯s speeches are indispensable. However, on such occasions, speeches are usually humorous and self-deprecating, and will not be too serious The topic, the president standing on the podium, is more like a talk show host.


    Ryan sat at the table in the front row, and from time to time he would applaud lightly with Summer Redstone and Rupert Murdoch next to him. George Bush on the stage made a bit of serious talk after he teased himself. Some.


    "Speaking seriously, tonight can remind us that we are fortunate to live in such a country. Here, reporters can criticize national leaders every day without worrying, and then once a year, the Federal President can be here to speak to the media and The reporter fought back, we should stick to the tradition of press freedom!"


    Everyone laughed and applauded, making jokes, making fun of high-ranking officials, and making fun of celebrities in political circles. It has always been a repertoire of the banquet.


    Later, some well-known reporters and critics took to the podium, and various ridicules continued to appear, and some even mentioned "Fahrenheit 9/11". No matter what, in this country that advertises so-called freedom of the press, it will never be criticized. The president was guilty of political decision-making.


    The pig-headed president sitting with Barbara Bush also had a normal face. Cheeky is a necessary condition for politicians.


    "Ryan, guess he will step down?" Summer Redstone glanced at the side where the Bush family was sitting. There was no expression on his skinned face. "Maybe this is the last time Bush will attend this banquet. ."


    "Do you want him to step down, Summer?" Ryan also looked in which direction.


    "Who knows." Summer Redstone made a gesture, "If his policies are beneficial to us, then just continue to sit in this position."


    "Assault Bush''s policies..."


    Rupert Murdoch on the other side raised his cup to Ryan and said, "But our media is the most eye-catching program."


    The three laughed tacitly.


    The media will never represent the voice of the public, just like those two people said. As long as it is beneficial to their own group, they will not care whether they are sitting in the presidential position with a pig or a dog.


    If a bomb strikes this banquet hall now, there will be less disputes in the world in a short time, and there will be less inciting remarks in the world for the time being.


    During most of the banquet, Ryan exchanged views with Summer Redstone and Rupert Murdoch. Although the three companies competed, their interests were different. In particular, News Corporation¡¯s business focus was still In traditional media.


    Disney is mainly focused on the film and amusement industries. At the same time, it is actively expanding its network.


    George Bush also brought his family to greet him. The media is an indispensable help for the presidential election and one of the main items of campaign funds. It has established a good relationship with the media group. It is an essential course for every presidential candidate.


    Although in recent years he has been engaged in political donations and other actions, Ryan has no obvious political inclination. In this regard, he believes more in interests than politicians'' guarantees.


    The dinner is like that. Everyone wore a mask to socialize and socialize, talking and laughing together.


    This can only be regarded as an episode in life, and Ryan returned to Los Angeles the day after the dinner. With the support of up to 60 million U.S. dollars in publicity expenses, "The Superman Family" landed on the North American theaters on time.


    As early as last year''s "Looking for Nemo", "The Superman Family" was highly anticipated. Many people wanted to see if Pixar Studios could produce a different screen superhero.


    To a certain extent, this is not a typical Pixar-style animation film. It is also the first time that Pixar Studio hired an outside director to produce a work, but what remains unchanged is the sophisticated production and the plot suitable for all ages.


    There are also some light anti-ridicules, especially the ridicule of Superman''s cloak, which will definitely be impressive.


    What do the animated films of Pixar Studios represent? That is basically synonymous with well-made and excellent endurance. Under the premise of ensuring the popularity of publicity, it easily attracts a large number of young audiences who have just started the holiday.


    Today, Blue Sky Studio is still busy with the production of "Ice Age 2", DreamWorks Animation Studio''s "Shrek 2" has not yet been completed, and Warner Bros''s "Polar Express" will not be released until the end of the year. Who can compete with "The Superman Family" "competition? Who can stop the progress of Pixar Studio?


    "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith" has been too long since its premiere. After the North American box office broke through 350 million US dollars, it can no longer attract a large number of fans, and the third week of "Troy" was only more than 10 million US dollars. At the box office, this is obviously not possible.


    "The Superman Family"''s $73.52 million box office on the first Wednesday, basically heralded the success of Pixar Studios.


    The members of the Superman family moved into Disney parks and Disney stores around the world as soon as the movie was released. The huge Disney animation family once again added important members who can earn money.


    The media also praised the work of Pixar Studio as always.


    "This is a great work. It has the ambition to introduce modern life. It is suitable for both complicated adults and children. It is ironic but also inspiring. It is a great work with unlimited possibilities."


    "People may be surprised to see how clever this movie is and how unobtrusive it is."


    "One of this year''s most ingenious and eye-catching animated films is more lively due to a strong and reliable lineup, and it plays a group of characters who happen to become superheroes."


    This has almost become a common practice. Pixar Studio¡¯s animated feature film was released, and the media was praised, the box office was a success, and the peripheral products were super-sold. In the end, the box office plus peripherals swept away at least more than 1.5 billion US dollars of wealth from the world.


    It has been performed too many times in the past, so many that it makes people numb and enviable.


    How many people like you, on the contrary, how many people hate you. This sentence is not unreasonable. There are many people in Hollywood thinking that Pixar Studios is finished, just look at the embarrassed expression on Ryan''s face.


    If Pixar''s movie is ended by a work that he vetoed, it would be even more exciting.


    After the conversation with David Denby two years ago, Ryan became one of those veteran film critics who disliked the most. But helplessly, with the acceleration of information circulation and the rapid development of the Internet, film critics The human profession, as Ryan said that day, is becoming more and more difficult to influence film fans, becoming more and more marginalized, and the newly emerging young film critics obviously do not want to confront a media giant, and there is always a gap between speeches. Contrary to their older generations.


    Those veteran film critics who judge the life and death of a movie after enjoying a film review are naturally unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history. They have always wanted to find an opportunity to find a way to prove that this group of people still have a unique vision, far more than that who only knows. Commercialization and assembly line production guys.


    Now, the best opportunity is here.


    "King Arthur", a film rejected by Ryan Jenkins, was selected for release one week after "The Superman Family". If the box office and word-of-mouth performance are excellent, it will undoubtedly reduce the reputation of the other party, and the so-called unique vision will also be reduced in the future. For a joke.


    Every industry has a circle of every industry. As early as before the release of "The Superman Family", more than a dozen film critics who used to be famous throughout the United States participated in the "King Arthur" preview held by Sony Columbia Pictures, and then reached a speechless The tacit understanding.


    Among these people are film critics like David Denby who were directly refuted by Ryan, and famous characters like Roger Albert, who just recovered from a serious illness.


    After the trial film meeting, these people successively applauded "King Arthur" loudly in the column, and tried every means to mobilize fans to watch.


    "The thrilling plot, breath-taking fighting scenes and great historical background will surely create an unprecedented "King Arthur story of tragic and magnificent, magnificent historical theme, one of the greatest epic movies One!"


    The film has not been released yet, and it has attracted so many acclaimed voices from old film critics. If it were placed ten years ago, it would definitely cause a sensation and attract a large number of audiences into the theater. These film critics did not hesitate that this was criticized by them in the past. In countless commercial films, they will not hesitate to throw away their previous positions for the benefit.


    Fortunately, they still retain a little bottom line, and did not lash out at "The Superman Family", otherwise they would really make a big joke.


    Veteran film critics once again made unanimous voices. They wanted to prove that this industry should not be marginalized, their voices should not be ignored, their film reviews can still affect the box office performance of movies, and their vision is still clever.


    Of course, they should also enjoy more benefits in the movie circle.


    However, this is not the era of information obscurity, nor the pre-mid 1990s. In such an era of rapid information exchange, can they really affect the younger and younger mainstream moviegoers? (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 628： Hollywoods untouchable blacklist

    In the past life, although Sony Columbia had been doing poorly, but with the "Spider-Man" as a life-saving straw, it can always turn the crisis into peace at a critical moment. In this life, "Spider-Man" only has the copyright of the TV series. Income must have shrunk drastically.


    Among the traditional forces in Hollywood today, the worst situation is undoubtedly MGM. If you look up again, you can see Sony Columbia Pictures.


    Although they also heard the news that "King Arthur" was rejected by Ryan at Disney, the script was favored by many people in the industry, including gold medal producers such as Jerry Bruckheimer.


    In recent years, epic movies have flourished. Sony Columbia finally decided to invest in this movie. In addition to their confidence in the script, they also have other ideas.


    "Do you know what their thoughts are?" Tyler blinked curiously and looked at Ryan on the opposite side.


    In the garden of Jenkins Manor, Ryan was helplessly accompany her on the seesaw and sent the girl into the air, saying, "If "King Arthur" succeeds, Sony Pictures can not only make a sequel, but also split the Knights of the Round Table. Make a separate series so that they can have a series of movies that guarantee stable income."


    "The premise is that the movie premiered in the evening can be successful." Taylor reminded him to take the armrest of the seat, Ryan shrugged, let the girl press herself into the air, and continued, "There are too many epic movies released this year. , It is easy to cause aesthetic fatigue."


    "Especially "Troy" was released not long ago." Taylor was very clever, and immediately thought of another epic masterpiece that was not a success. She checked the time and said, "Let¡¯s go back, Charlie should be back soon. Australia has brought gifts."


    "Ok."


    After getting off the seesaw, the two walked towards the villa, Ryan asked. "You have been in Australia for so long, where did you go to play?"


    "East coast, west coast, I went to New Zealand and New Guinea." Taylor turned his head and looked at the sun moving to the west. "Sony''s premiere is about to begin, right?"


    "My dear, you care too much."


    Hearing Ryan¡¯s words, Taylor wrinkled his nose disapprovingly, "Don¡¯t forget what the film critics said, don¡¯t forget that they are targeting "The Superman Family", don¡¯t forget that I am still a member of the crew, although only for invisibility The heroine dubbed..."


    "Waiting to see tomorrow''s film reviews."


    Ryan finished speaking and walked towards the villa without answering Taylor.


    All the predictions in advance cannot represent the actual results of the film after the screening, this kind of super large production with a production cost of up to 120 million US dollars. After all, success or failure depends on the box office.


    Just like "The Superman Family", by the time "King Arthur" was released, it had won nearly $95 million in the North American box office. Although the reputation is not as good as "Looking for Nemo", no one would say that this is a failed work.


    The first week of the film¡¯s box office may have to wait. But shortly after the premiere, many veteran film critics updated their reviews on "King Arthur" on their blogs for the first time.


    "The film is well-made, and the performance of the actors is commendable. The story can fully resonate with the audience."


    This is Roger Albert¡¯s comment, he not only gave the movie a thumbs up, but also gave a high score of nine points.


    "Fate and loyalty, heroes and responsibilities. "King Arthur" can easily evoke ancient and dark medieval scrolls and **** and magnificent war scenes, as well as indispensable moving romance."


    David Denby almost took the film to the sky, and he directly gave it a full 10 points.


    However, ordinary viewers who participated in the premiere had completely opposite opinions on the websites and forums where ordinary movie fans gathered. Soon there was an opinion on this epic blockbuster.


    "The director''s inadequate grasp of the film''s rhythm makes the war scenes bleak and mediocre; King Arthur''s outline is frivolous and mediocre, you even think that this movie is not about King Arthur at all."


    "Lack of persuasive performance and even less persuasive plot, the film really lacks enough charm to attract people to watch."


    "The overall feeling is twisted. The scene is not grand enough, like a small-cost movie."


    "An epic blockbuster more incomprehensible than "Troy."


    "Naive, stupid, and lengthy, a bad film!"


    Although some people say that the movie is not bad, the general audience''s view is that it is a very ordinary movie.


    As a result, two days after the premiere of "King Arthur", there was a very strange situation. Well-known and established film critics unanimously applauded, but most of the audience thought the film was really not good, and even a few professional film critics went into the theater. Of people think they have been fooled.


    "Their taste is too far away from the average audience."


    A 50-year-old audience who was interviewed by a TV reporter when he walked out of the theater said, "I don''t understand what they can brag about in such a movie. They are completely out of this era. Never choose movies based on their film reviews anymore."


    "what?"


    Subsequently, another audience in their twenties accepted an interview, "Choose movies based on the critics¡¯ reviews? Sorry, I never watch those things, nor do my friends around me. We like movies that we like, no Some people who don¡¯t know the so-called gesticulate are needed."


    Sony Columbia invested 120 million U.S. dollars in production costs for this film, plus 80 million U.S. dollars in publicity expenses. Naturally, it wanted to get a generous return. The unanimous praise from the film critics, some of them were beyond their expectations, but they were also happy. accept.


    After all, with the support of these people, the movie might be more popular than expected.


    However, they quickly understood one thing. Ryan''s previous statement that the era when film critics can profoundly influence films is over is indeed not mixed with much water.


    Because of such a movie that is so popular with famous film critics, the box office results are horrible.


    Sony Columbia¡¯s expectations for the first week¡¯s box office are not too high. Their psychological bottom line is $40 million. There shouldn¡¯t be any difficulty for such a large investment movie to get such first week¡¯s box office results.


    What''s more, there were so many professional film critics unanimously applauded before the release.


    It wasn''t until the box office came out in the first week that the almost desperate executives of Sony Columbia realized one thing, why Ryan has drastically reduced the public relations expenditure of film critics after entering the new century.


    15.19 million dollars!


    This is "King Arthur", this is the movie touted by film critics, and this is the first Wednesday box office performance of the movie that many people expect to make Ryan Jenkins faceless.


    Those in Hollywood who were waiting to watch the excitement immediately shifted their goals. They quickly checked whether their film company was prepared to invest in the projects that were rejected by Ryan. If so, they would quickly throw this project away. If you invest a portion of the money, then find a way to recover the money.


    As for the film critics, they didn¡¯t seem to see the box office of "King Arthur" in the first week, and they seemed to have never made those comments. Just like when "Star Wars" came out, they selectively forgot those words and turned their heads to the follow-up. Among the movies released.


    As for the bitter fruit brought by "King Arthur", Sony Columbia Pictures will slowly taste it.


    At the same time, "The Superman Family" is still soaring and radical. In the same three days this weekend, it won a box office of 50.35 million U.S. dollars in North America. The box office of "King Arthur" in the first week is not even comparable to its one-day box office accumulation.


    By the next week, the box office of "King Arthur" plummeted to 7 million U.S. dollars, and everyone knew that this super-large production would inevitably lose money.


    Disney''s management, especially the Touchstone Pictures, felt fortunate at this time. If Ryan hadn''t vetoed the project, they would be replaced by those who suffered serious losses.


    There is a sentence, I don¡¯t know where it came from, and it quickly became popular in Hollywood, and it was even regarded as one of the unwritten industry rules.


    "The movie project that Ryan Jenkins vetoed has no value in Hollywood!"


    As a result, the movie projects that Ryan has cancelled in recent years have been turned up by well-informed people in Hollywood and put on the blacklist of Hollywood¡¯s inaccessibility.


    Of course, this situation inevitably affected some other people. For example, an actor whose contract for two films was cancelled by Ryan was unable to find a role in a short time, so he had to return to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.


    Ryan didn''t know this, even if it was clear, he wouldn''t care. The things he cared about most now were undoubtedly the two invitations he had just received.


    He received a call from Warner Bros. Gerald, who invited him to participate in the "Wonder Woman" preview, and Natalie sent her friend''s invitation to participate in the same.


    "Don''t worry about my thoughts Sitting in the small garden of her villa, Natalie put down the script of "The Hunger Games" in her hand and said seriously, "I''m just responsible for spreading the word. it''s up to you. "


    "Why not?" Ryan knew that Natalie still had some friendship with the actress from Israel.


    Although she did not go to Jerusalem to study in this life, Natalie''s stance toward Israel is very obvious. She has revealed this view in several interviews, but there are not many Hollywood movie stars who really come from Israel.


    He also wanted to see this movie himself. There are very few movies that are completely female-protagonists and can sell well. Through this movie released in August, "The Hunger Games" can also make some suggestions based on market reaction. Necessary adjustments.


    Besides, with the appeal of Wonder Woman, if you don''t come up with some inexplicable things, the movie is still very likely to be successful.


    Hmm...it depends on how the production team measures the psychological bottom line of male audiences.


    "At that time, we will go together." Ryan said to Natalie who put down the book. ()

 Chapter 629： Gods and demi gods

    "Welcome, Ryan. Welcome, Natalie."


    "Hello there¡­¡­"


    As soon as he arrived at the theater door, Ryan saw Warner Bros''s Gerald and other executives who were approaching, and shook hands with Natalie one by one.


    This is a small theater inside the Warner Studios. It only has more than 100 seats. The trial film of "Wonder Woman" was selected here, and all the people who participated in the trial film were the top executives of Warner Bros. In addition to the main creators of the crew, there are also many celebrities in the Hollywood film industry and senior fans who have been specially invited.


    "Congratulations, Ryan."


    As he walked into the theater, Gerald said, "Disney has added another big-selling animation series."


    "It''s too early to talk about the series."


    Holding Natalie, Ryan smiled faintly, "It depends on Pixar''s follow-up arrangements."


    Like "Looking for Nemo", Pixar Studios will temporarily shelve "The Superman Family". Its director Brad Bird has already started "Ratture Mouse King" with John Lasseter after a short vacation.


    "But the results of "The Superman Family" are good enough."


    A long-faced middle-aged man chased from behind. It was Hollywood gold medal producer Jerry Brookheimer. He said with emotion, "I really envy you, Ryan. "The Superman Family" only took three weeks. The North American box office has passed 200 million U.S. dollars. This is the best film this year except for "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith"."


    "This shows that Pixar is good enough." Ryan shook the opponent''s stretched hand, and Gerald next to him said, "But you gave Pixar the funds and life to develop. We really should compete with you. Pixar Studio."


    "Do you need me to take you back with the space-time shuttle?"


    These people who walked together laughed at the same time. In their eyes, Pixar Studio was branded with Ryan. Without Ryan, there would be no Pixar Studio''s success today.


    After entering the theater. Ryan and the others sat in the middle position. As soon as he sat down, someone greeted Natalie.


    "Hello, Ryan."


    "It''s been a long time, Gail."


    Anyway, these are all Natalie''s friends, and Ryan is still very polite.


    Since it''s a test movie, the movie is the focus. This superhero movie, which will be released for more than a month, has not yet been finalized. There is no title in the front, there will be no subtitles after I want to come, and even some parts of the soundtrack are not included.


    Fortunately, the special effects of the movie look like it should be done, and the effect is pretty good.


    The beginning of the film is naturally to explain the origins of Princess Diana, but unlike the traditional ordinary people who become heroes, Princess Diana has an extraordinary identity. She is the princess of the Amazon, a fighting nation, and she is also influenced by the Olympus. The blessings of the gods.


    A lot of Greek mythology is borrowed here. For example, the legend of Theseus defrauding the marriage of the Amazonian Empress Hippolyte, and then the Amazonian warrior attacking Athens.


    But Theseus here became the **** of war Ares, the son of Zeus who could draw power from killing and bring endless chaos to the world.


    Hippolyte defeated Ares. Zeus and Hera prevented her from taking revenge, and in return, Ares was imprisoned with divine power and became her prisoner forever. The Amazons also got a paradise island where there are no men, in addition to newborns born from non-male and female unions.


    She is Princess Diana, and Hippolyte rubbed mud as a baby. The Greek gods blessed and Wonder Woman was born.


    The timeline has returned to modern times. Princess Diana has grown up and turned into a **** and beautiful tall girl. She inherited all the advantages of Amazonian blood and learned fighting from Artemis. She is a stranger who has not experienced the world. Powerful female warrior.


    Until one day, a wounded American fighter plane broke into the secret Paradise Island, and Wonder Woman ushered in the moment of birth.


    In order to send home the American pilot Steve who strayed into Paradise Island, after a series of selections, Princess Diana became the representative of the Amazons to perform this task. At the same time, Ares was imprisoned for thousands of years. Bewitched the guard Polsephone and escaped from the cage. Diana who went out had to shoulder the heavy task of eradicating him.


    Unlike the comics, Wonder Woman wears Greek-style dark gold boots and tight armor, only the Stars and Stripes logo on her chest. In addition, she also gets the iconic stealth plane, queen crown, mantra lasso and Invulnerable bracelets and other equipment.


    The storyline of the film is not complicated. Although most of the time takes place in the modern American society, it rarely shows the conflict between Princess Diana and modern society. In the handling of the relationship between men and women, it has reduced a lot of too much. For her feminist remarks, especially with Playboy Steve, even if she faced the other party''s molesting, she did not be violent, but used some clever methods similar to mischief to punish her.


    As a senior director, or the director who has shaped Batman''s glory, Tim Burton is very clear about the psychological bottom line of male audiences.


    Especially the enemies faced are the Amazon traitor Persephone and Ares who escaped from the prison.


    On the other hand, this is a battle between a group of gods and demigods, but the power of these gods is not as powerful as the legend.


    Tim Burton also grasped this characteristic. Several fighting scenes were handled extremely well, using huge destructive power to exaggerate the fierce battle.


    For example, after Diana was thrown out by Ares''s bullhead killer, she could easily smash trucks on the streets of New York and crash several walls. The fight was completely earth-shaking posture, and the destructive power was not what humans could have.


    This is because the movie has relatively weakened Wonder Woman''s ability. At best, it can be regarded as a demigod among the demigods. According to the comics, it is not impossible that the battle with Ares will destroy the entire Washington.


    Like the superhero movies of the new century, the story is faster and the enemies are clear at a glance. The final competition between the two sides is only combat power. Princess Diana, who has the protagonist''s halo blessing, will definitely not lose to being restored by Hades. Ares of supernatural power.


    As for the traitor, he will definitely be killed.


    The final battlefield is in Washington. In addition to Princess Diana and Playboy Steve, it is also necessary to show the role played by the U.S. Army. The U.S. soldiers fought with Ares¡¯s Dread Forces. Wonder Woman and Ares¡¯s The battlefield is in front of the Lincoln Memorial and below the Washington Monument.


    Among them, in the Lincoln Memorial, the head of the Lincoln statue was screwed off by the powerful Ares...


    Of course, Hollywood¡¯s favorite to destroy the White House is also indispensable. Under the blessing of Ares, various thugs stormed the lawn of the White House, and the President of the United States was at stake.


    At the critical moment, the Wonder Woman who killed the traitor stepped forward and fought with Ares to the death. The long-legged beauty in the film was beaten a little bit miserably, but the body was strong enough, even if the armor appeared. Damaged and exposed places attract the attention of men more.


    I have to say that the footage taken by Tim Burton fully demonstrates Gal Gado¡¯s two amazing long legs. Presumably this alone will help this young Jewish actress develop a large number of fans, even if It is her relatively flat chest, which looks good enough to match her slender figure under the modification of battle armor and later cg technology.


    As the last battle of the movie¡¯s drama, there is no shortage of gorgeous colors. Ares¡¯s warhammer and Wonder Woman¡¯s mantra lasso flies around, and the God of War absorbs the killing energy and transforms, and can also summon the sky. Thunder, there is a faint charm of the **** of thunder in Norse mythology...


    Wonder Woman will naturally not be an opponent of Olympian gods, but her body blessed by Zeus and Hera is strong enough, and she is better than Ares in terms of agility, and she still has killer moves at critical moments.


    Her pair of invulnerable bracelets can be transformed into indestructible long swords.


    Relying on Xiaoqiang''s undead spirit and flexible skill, Wonder Woman finally used this sword to chop off Ares'' head directly, without giving him a chance to pray to Zeus.


    Justice will eventually triumph over evil, and Wonder Woman will definitely fight for America, and the world will always be saved.


    As a result, Wonder Woman stayed in the United States and became a great young woman who was righteous and brave. The relationship between her and Steve was implicitly obscured in the film. The two were more advanced than their friends, but better than their friends. The couple is a little further away.


    I just don''t know if Warner will follow the settings in the comics, and the future sequel will let Wonder Woman and Bruce Wayne have a romantic journey, although Batman is a super big pit for women.


    In addition, at the end of the film, there is also room for a sequel. Wonder Woman, who has transformed into a worker, meets her deadly enemy Leopard in the comics...


    As long as the box office can reach Warner¡¯s psychological bottom line, I believe the sequel is not a problem, after all, comics and movies do not expect box office profits.


    There is nothing surprising about this movie. Everything is going on like a carved template. It can be described as a typical superhero movie. This style of movie is actually the least risky way to deal with it Seeking new ideas Change means huge risks and an unpredictable future, not to mention this is still a female superhero movie.


    To put it bluntly, this is a commercial film made according to the current popular taste.


    After the trial meeting, it was noon, and there was a small party, and Warner would also seek the opinions of the participants.


    "Let''s put it this way..."


    At the reception, facing Gerald¡¯s sincere eyes, Ryan had no choice but to say a few words, "Tim handled it very skillfully, this is not a compliment..."


    He raised his glass to Tim Burton, "Wonder Woman''s lines and attitude towards men do not feel any discomfort!"


    "Maybe the box office of this movie won''t be a big hit."


    Over the years, Ryan has participated in the production of so many movies, and has never relaxed the investigation of the first-line market. There is a general judgment, "I believe it will not be worse than the surprising "X-Men" series." to be continued..)()

 Chapter 630： Lets elope

    After leaving the hotel where the party was located, the brand-new black Rolls Royce was already waiting at the door. After Ryan and the two got into the car, the car slowly drove towards the south.


    Regarding "Wonder Woman", Ryan did not express too many opinions. In his opinion, Tim Burton handled it quite securely. This typical superhero movie may not cause a sensation, but it is a success. Even the problem of recovering huge costs through the box office shouldn''t be big.


    At least this "Wonder Woman" is not inferior to "X-Men 3: Last Stand" which he has also seen the sample, and even slightly wins, although the Greek gods appeared in it, it is from the original comics. The setting, and the main scenes are almost all in New York and Washington, even if Princess Diana takes off the star-striped outfit, she is still fighting for the United States.


    "It''s still early." Ryan looked at his watch and asked Natalie next to him, "Shall we go home, or?"


    "Go to Universal Studios." Natalie pressed the communicator, said to the driver in front, and then looked at Ryan, "Let''s go to the squad, where Scarlett is filming "Escape from the Clone Island"."


    This film carrying the hope of DreamWorks has entered the final stage of shooting. Ryan also heard Scarlett mention it. After returning from the Detroit location, they gathered in the studio of Universal Studios for the finale. A filming of a human cloning base.


    As one of the most famous studios in Hollywood, the studio area of ??Universal Studios is a bit deserted compared to the tourist area. In recent years, more and more crews have been exodus, which has led to a serious under-production of studios in the Los Angeles area. If the California state government does not introduce relevant preferential policies to make changes, the large studios in the California area will gradually become exhibition halls, while the small studios have only one way to go.


    In fact, it''s not just Hollywood, even the video tape companies of the San Fernando Valley are outflowing. California''s latest regulations, when shooting those films. It is necessary to use condoms, and the sales of condom films are obviously declining.


    Therefore, many companies are moving to Las Vegas. If this situation continues, the San Fernando Valley will lose its former reputation.


    Changed to a battery car at the entrance of the studio. After driving through more than a dozen deserted studios, Ryan finally saw the scenes of people coming and going in the past.


    The crew of "Escape from the Clone Island" rented three huge studios here, and Ryan and Natalie walked into one of them under the leadership of the staff. All I saw were scenes of a futuristic clone base, as well as a large number of extras in tight clothes.


    The crew seemed to be resting. When Ryan walked to the lounge area, Scarlett Johansson was sitting in a chair, chatting with Ewan McGregor next to him.


    "Hi, Ryan, and Nat."


    "It''s been a long time, Ivan."


    Scarlett just beckoned to the two, while Ivan McGregor stood up politely. He winked, and after greeting Ryan a few words, he took the initiative to leave here.


    "Aren''t you preparing the film with Kate and Sophia?".


    After Ryan sat down, Scarlett asked her assistant to bring coffee. Looking at Natalie, she said, "Why do you have time today?"


    "After the **Day holiday ended, they went to Australia to inspect the progress of the set-up." Natalie first handed the coffee to Ryan, and then took another cup. "I accompanied Ryan to a trial film meeting, and I stopped by to see you."


    Then, Natalie looked at Scarlett carefully. "Honey, you are so **** and beautiful now."


    "Then..." Scarlett Johansson''s eyes turned from Ryan, and she suddenly took Natalie''s hand, "Nate, why don''t... let me be your girlfriend, and let''s run away."


    Hearing this, Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head and laughed.


    Natalie had just taken a sip of coffee, almost choked in her throat, and glared at the inconspicuous blonde **** the opposite side. "You should keep this kind of joke and tell Alison."


    "In fact, we have already discussed it." Scarlett suddenly changed a strange tone, "If... ahem, we are going to Africa, to a place that no one can find, there are lions, antelopes, cheetahs. With the elephant, I feel romantic just thinking about it."


    "Trust me, Scarlett."


    These two guys have been used to quarreling since they were young, and Ryan didn''t care about their insane words in private, "Up to three days, you will come back because you can''t stand the hard life."


    Since Scott Swift and Melanie Sloan joined his team, the daily lives of Taylor and Scarlett can only be described as abundance and luxury.


    "We all have trust funds."


    After Scarlett finished speaking, she saw Ryan just smiling, and said flatly, "Well, I admit, it¡¯s okay to visit places like the African grasslands occasionally. If you live there, you will definitely be able to People go crazy."


    "Perhaps you haven''t gone crazy yet." Natalie also said a few jokes, "It was eaten by a lion or hyena, oh...sexy Scarlett sandwich..."


    "Do you want to take a bite?" Scarlett leaned in front of Natalie, "Nate!"


    The laughter of the two women rang out.


    And only in front of these friends who grew up together, Natalie will show the other side of youth and recklessness. For example, some time ago, at Scarlett¡¯s house, she and Taylor screamed r&b on the jukebox...


    In recent months, Natalie has not only received special bow and arrow training, but also fitness and practice a lot of set movements.


    While enjoying the glamour, Hollywood stars are also facing unimaginable pressures. They always have to have a suitable way of venting. Unfortunately, some people choose alcoholism, drug abuse, and **** by mistake.


    After about ten minutes, the filming restarted. Ryan stood with the enthusiastic Natalie on the periphery, watching Michael Bay¡¯s command and dispatch. For Natalie, who is determined to become an outstanding female director, she will not let go. Any chance of learning.


    However, compared to Natalie, Ryan is more interested in some props, such as Nokia concept phones provided by advertisers, such as some concept cars costing up to two million US dollars. If he remembers correctly, these later seem to be all Did not officially come out.


    Of course, it may also be that high-end circles were not accessible in previous lives. These luxurious top products are not aimed at ordinary consumers.


    Now Scarlett Johansson and Ivan McGregor are both standard literary youths. It seems easy to deal with the scenes of this movie. Ryan also vaguely sees Michael from the dialogue between the two of them and some scenes. Bei''s thoughts seem to be no different from the previous life.


    A director who is good at fast switching between explosions and mv-style short shots, changing to long shots and literary connotations is destined to be a very scary thing.


    Taking advantage of the filming gap, Ryan also talked to Michael Bay behind the camera. Although the latter experienced the setbacks of "Pearl Harbor", he was still confident, and he wouldn''t be able to change without experiencing a bitter lesson. Back to the path of full commercialization that suits him.


    As for "Transformers", Ryanti didn''t mention it, after all, the other party hasn''t finished the current work yet.


    The script of this movie, on the premise that he provided a very brief outline, some screenwriters have already begun to write the script. The general plot is still the story of a boy and his car, but under his instruction, Optimus Prime appeared on the scene. The time will be as early as possible, and the rhythm of the front paving will also be slightly accelerated.


    And in order to complement the subsequent sequels, Optimus Prime''s combat effectiveness will not be as good as in the previous life. Facing Megatron, the combat effectiveness of the two bosses is basically the same.


    In addition, Disney is also contacting the Pentagon to win the necessary support. Although a team of American soldiers kills a Decepticon is very bloody, for the sake of North American box office considerations, this kind of plot that North American audiences love to see will still appear.


    To put it bluntly, this is just the most typical popcorn movie. The producer will shoot it as much as the audience feels it.


    After staying here for about an hour, Ryan and Natalie left. After all, this is a busy crew.


    "Is DreamWorks going to be unable to hold on anymore?" Natalie asked curiously in the car back.


    By staying by Ryan''s side, she was also well-informed, and it was not surprising that she could see that DreamWorks was glamorous on the surface, but in fact, there were internal crises.


    "If it''s just a financial problem..." Ryan shook her head, "Maybe it''s easy to solve, but as the debt burden of DreamWorks has increased, David Geffen, Jeff Katzenberg and Stephen''s The contradiction between the two also began to sharpen."


    The collapse of DreamWorks is not only due to debt issues, but also the relationship of the Big Three in a sharp decline.


    DreamWorks now is like a wooden boat with a big hole in the bottom of the boat. The only tinker, Steven Spielberg, has also begun to have problems. His movies can no longer guarantee the success of every one.


    For example, "The Terminal of Happiness , which was released not long ago, even if it is the combination of Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta Jones, it only got 19.05 million US dollars in the box office in the first week. , It has been in theaters for more than ten days, and the box office in North America is only 40 million U.S. dollars.


    Perhaps the only thing left from this movie is the classic movie line ¡®I¡¯ve been waiting all my life, but I don¡¯t know who I¡¯m waiting for¡¯.


    In contrast, "The Superman Family", which was released two weeks earlier than the movie, had a monthly North American box office total of nearly 250 million U.S. dollars.


    As for "King Arthur", the weekly box office has fallen to around US$3 million, and there are big doubts about whether the North American box office can exceed US$40 million.


    Of course, the most successful movie so far this year is still "Star Wars: Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith". After the ** day, the North American box office of the film has reached more than 390 million U.S. dollars. It will definitely become the first North American film this year. A movie with a box office of over 400 million.


    This film not only brought huge benefits to Lucasfilm and its distributor Twentieth Century Fox, but Ryan, one of the leading actors, also benefited a lot. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 631： Lets destroy the world together

    Before and after the "Star Wars Prequel", if the person who has benefited the most is George Lucas and his Lucasfilm, in addition to the publisher Twentieth Century Fox, they can withdraw the box office. Fifteen percent of the film was used as distribution costs, and the main actors who participated in this series have also risen in value.


    For example, Natalie, when she took the first film of Star Wars, the pay was only half a million US dollars, and by the third part, the pay had reached seven million US dollars.


    Although there are many reasons for Ryan, this series still has a huge boost to improve the actor''s worth.


    Of course, an actress of the same reputation will never be able to compare with the pay of an actor.


    And as the most famous and most appealing actor in the last two parts, although Ryan offered a friendly price-20 million US dollars in remuneration plus 5 percent of the box office share-but this series is bound to be He brings a huge amount of salary income.


    As for Hollywood¡¯s 20 million club, he was a member of it as early as the end of the 1990s. This name has no substantial meaning to him, just like Nicole¡¯s Hollywood¡¯s first 20 million club girl. The members are the same.


    Even if "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" has not gone offline, plus the previous "Attack of the Clones", Lucasfilm has paid him as much as 100 million US dollars, and this is excluding taxes. After the income.


    Just like George Lucas said, the Star Wars Prequel series can''t expect profit at the box office at all. At most, it will recover the cost. The real money is still in various surroundings.


    A series of movies that can sell nearly $26 billion on peripherals alone, and now there is only the "Star Wars" series. Although the peripheral benefits generated by "Harry Potter" are close to $15 billion, it still wants to surpass the Star Wars series. needs time.


    Nowadays, the compensation paid to well-known actors and directors for a film is getting higher and higher, and sometimes it can even account for more than half of the box office share of the producer. The rising pay of big-name stars has become the most troublesome for many producers. One of the problems.


    Walt Disney also faces this problem.


    This is also the producer league. Contradictions that can never be resolved with other Hollywood associations, and strikes initiated by other associations are often aimed at the producer league.


    From what kind of position you stand on, you must consider the problem from your own standpoint. This is a universal rule in the world.


    In the commercial masterpieces led by Ryan, they try to avoid using first-line stars, even if they are used, they will give priority to their own people, and most of the successful commercial productions in the past life, even if they change other actors. In fact, there is not much impact.


    For example, Sia LaBeouf and Megan Fox in "Transformers", from the third-tier or even the bottom of Hollywood actors, two people who are handsome and beautiful and have a little basic acting skills will make a difference?


    There are also those superheroes who are surprised. It is entirely the role that gives the actor a special meaning.


    "Since capital came to the world, every pore from head to toe has dripped with blood and dirty things." Karl Marx''s words must be the most plausible saying.


    Capital is profit-seeking, and capitalists, as capital representatives, are also profit-seeking. This is also the starting point for Ryan''s handling of Disney affairs.


    In addition to a series of major productions, Disney also launched several typical youth idol movies this year. Among them, "Mean Girl" was released in April, with a total investment of more than 20 million US dollars in exchange for 86.5 million US dollars in the box office from North America, and the global box office also exceeded 100 million US dollars.


    Lindsay Lohan instantly became the most popular youth idol.


    So, when discussing the next movie with Disney. She offered a salary of up to 8 million U.S. dollars, plus a 10% share of the total box office.


    You know, her salary in "Mean Girl" is only 1 million US dollars.


    Disney would definitely not agree, after Ryan learned the news. Directly let people cancel the preparation plan for "Mean Girl 2", and after the contract with Lindsay Lohan expires, they directly abandon this youth idol star who is about to face transformation.


    then. Using "Summer of Jeans", which has long acquired the copyright, recreated several young and beautiful actresses.


    Disney has never lacked youth idols. For those young stars who have been drained of oil and water, they will not hesitate to throw them into the big dye tank of Hollywood and let them fend for themselves.


    As for how many people can struggle from it and truly gain a foothold in Hollywood, that has nothing to do with Disney.


    Although Disney¡¯s strategy has been implemented for decades and many people can understand it, every time Disney organizes a youth selection contest, it always causes a sensation. The temptation of Hollywood is huge, and there are countless people who want to become famous. How many people can get rid of the attraction of fame and fortune?


    Without Disney''s support and cover, Lindsay Lohan''s bad side was directly exposed in front of the reporter''s paparazzi''s camera, and numerous scandals such as alcoholism, drug abuse, and one-night stand broke out quickly, and began to slip in the direction of her previous life.


    The Hollywood industry is tacitly aware that this is another idol star abandoned by Disney.


    Similarly, Disney¡¯s starmaking activities will not stop. Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are all receiving relevant training for the preparation of "Hannah Monta". Prepare for "Na" and "High School Musical".


    The latter is still a TV movie and will not enter the theater. There is a huge difference between a TV movie and a real movie. This kind of film that has not accumulated fans and has not been preheated has only one way to enter the theater.


    The decline of musicals is more than just talk.


    The summer box office battle is still going on. Some Hollywood producers are happy and some are lonely. These are the results of the ups and downs of the box office of their films.


    The box office only accounts for 20 to 30% of the revenue of a commercial movie, but if even the most basic box office and audience cannot be guaranteed, then the peripheral sales of the movie must not be much higher.


    Can you expect the TV rights and DVD video tape rights of a North American film with a box office of only 30 to 40 million US dollars to sell for more than 10 million US dollars each?


    That is definitely not realistic.


    On July 7, the North American theaters ushered in another super masterpiece. The production cost of "Spider-Man 2" was as high as US$200 million. In view of the great success of the first movie, theater operators have joined the screening. Among the ranks, the first week of the film¡¯s theater line reached the highest this year-4152!


    This movie lived up to expectations and did not become the Waterloo that some people were looking forward to. It swept away US$115.81 million from North America on the first four days, once again showing the great power of Peter Parker and Mary Jane.


    Hollywood is also lamenting that Disney''s major productions were released and then sold at the box office, and the business has achieved great success. This has almost become a fixed model for Ryan after entering Disney.


    Of course, Disney¡¯s film is not without money. For example, in April Touchstone Films produced "The Legend of the Border Town", which was released by Bowei International, with a total investment of US$117 million, but only received US$24.21 million in the North American box office. No one even cares about the copyright of overseas screenings.


    However, everyone understands that this film has nothing to do with Ryan. When he took over Disney, the film had already begun.


    By the second week, the North American box office of "Spider-Man 2" fell to 78.56 million U.S. dollars, and the box office of the third week continued to fall. Just when everyone was relieved, another major Disney production was released, this one. The movie is no longer about salvation. Instead, it freezes most of North America, from Philadelphia to Boston, and from New York to Washington, all turned into ice and snow.


    That''s right, Roland Emmerich''s disaster blockbuster "The Day After Day" was released. Although it brought a cold feeling in the hot summer, the performance at the box office was not frozen!


    On the first Wednesday of the first three days of 85.8 million US dollars, "The Day After Acquired" squeezed "Spider-Man 2" from the top of the box office chart, attracting a lot of dollar bills with the ice and snow scene, and the latter''s box office totaled more than 250 million. US dollars.


    After the first week of the box office of "The Day After Acquired", Roland Emmerich flew back to Los Angeles from New York where it premiered, and made a special trip to Disney to find Ryan and sell his ideas for the next new movie.


    "This is an adventure story about heroes..."


    Sitting across from the desk, Roland Emmerich was full of spirits and said, "...barren deserts, dense forests, tribes full of mystery, hordes of saber-toothed tigers, mammoths and other prehistoric giants. The beast, coupled with the thrilling hand-to-hand combat between humans and beasts, and the shocking audio-visual sound effects, will definitely bring a dreamlike world."


    "Trust me, Ryan!" His face was full of confidence after success.


    "Roland, don''t you think you are more suitable for disaster movies?" Ryan tapped on his desk and reminded him specifically, "Both "Sunday" and "The Day After Tomorrow" are science fiction disaster movies."


    "No, no, no." Roland Emmerich shook his head again and again I think I should change my subject and thinking. "


    Although Roland Emmerich just gave a rough idea, Ryan has already thought of which movie it is. It can be said to be Roland Emmerich¡¯s most failed work, and it is basically hopeless. Types of.


    "Roland, the prehistoric era is too far away from us." Ryan didn''t go around in circles, and he refused directly. "Unless it is an animated feature film, Disney will not invest in such a movie."


    After saying this, Roland Emmerich was stunned, obviously he didn''t expect to wait for such a result in the end.


    According to Hollywood practice, his last movie had just sold out, and then finding investment should be a breeze.


    "Roland, our two cooperations are very happy."


    The fact is like what Ryan said, the cooperation between the two sides is a typical strong alliance, "You only destroyed North America this time..."


    Ryan spread his hands and said, "Why don''t we go to destroy the world together?" (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 632： Rescue hungry children

    "Destroy the earth?" Roland Emmerich frowned, seeming to be considering the specific meaning of this sentence.


    A secretary knocked on the door and walked in and brought Roland Emmerich freshly brewed black tea. After Ryan made a please gesture to him, he continued, "Roland, you have heard of Maya¡¯s Calendar?"


    "Of course." Roland Emmerich nodded, "The last day of their calendar is December 21. They think that from that day on, the world will enter a new era."


    "But in various legends of Western religions, 2012 is the year of disaster." Ryan crossed his hands and placed it on his desk. "It is also the rumored end of the world."


    "You mean to make a disaster movie related to this?" Roland Emmerich roughly understood what he meant.


    "Yes."


    Ryan said unhurriedly, "We can borrow the prophecies of the Mayans and religions to destroy the earth on December 21, 2012."


    After thinking for a while, he continued, ¡°For example, if there is a problem with the earth¡¯s core, the plate has moved significantly, a new orogenic movement has begun to appear, volcanic eruptions in various places, and the tsunami caused by a global earthquake engulfed all the land, if human beings I want to survive..."


    "It can only be like in the legend." Roland Emmerich gradually loosened his brows and directly accepted Ryan''s words, "Build Noah''s Ark that can rival the flood."


    "That''s it." Ryan smiled.


    "This is a good idea, this is a good idea." Roland Emmerich clenched his right hand and smashed his palm. After thinking about it for a few minutes, he said, "But I think it is better to postpone it a few years later. After all, it is a little bit away from 2012. far."


    "I think so too." Ryan tapped on the desk again, "I will let the screenwriter team of Jenkins Pictures complete the script as soon as possible, Roland, I suggest you make some preparations in advance. Familiarize yourself with the technology of 3D production, Think about it, what kind of shock will it bring when the whole world collapses in front of the audience?"


    "Ryan, if the script is completed, please mail it to me as soon as possible." This man was completely attracted by the idea of ??even more crazier destruction, and for the time being did not consider the issue of prehistoric movies. "I think this will be me. The most perfect ending on the subject of a disaster film."


    When the matter was discussed, it was basically finalized, and Roland Emmerich left afterwards. He will also return to New York to start a long publicity journey with the "The Day After Day" crew.


    After lunch, Ryan sat in an office chair, still thinking about the morning.


    In his previous life, as long as Roland Emmerich left the theme of disaster, the bad box office results were a mess. However, the director wanted to switch to other types of movies. He vaguely remembered that the action movie that destroyed the White House had a poor box office. Compared with "Ten Thousand Years Before History".


    Although most directors claim to be able to shoot movies of any genre and style, in fact most directors are only good at one or two aspects. Even James Cameron and Steven Spielberg will not touch those subjects that are not good at them.


    After a soft knock on the door, Nicole in a tuxedo pushed the door and walked in, and Taylor, who was also dressed up behind him, carried several men''s clothing bags.


    "It''s almost time. We should start changing our dresses." Nicole reminded after sitting opposite.


    "Hurry up!" Tyler threw the garment bag on the desk and almost hit the LCD monitor. "It''s very rude for the host to be late."


    "Give me ten minutes. It will be fine soon."


    After taking the garment bag, Ryan walked into the office suite, and Taylor looked at the closed door. He smiled and said to Nicole, "Don''t you go in and help him?"


    Nicole glared at her, Taylor shrugged playfully, sat in Ryan''s position, and after a round, said, "So this is the feeling of the chairman of Disney."


    "Waiting for you to be eighteen." Ni can use gestures to remind her to pay attention to the dress, "You can ask Ryan to give you this position."


    "What position?"


    While finishing the bow tie, Ryan pushed the door and walked out, just to hear Nicole''s last words, "What position does Alison want?"


    "Chairman of Disney." Tyler winked at him deliberately. "Is it okay, my dear brother Ryan?"


    "As long as the other directors have no opinion."


    In a joke, the three people left the office and took the elevator down to the ground floor of the Disney building. The convoy was already waiting in front of the building. After they got up, they drove directly to Harvey Weinstein''s private club in Malibu.


    Today, this private club, which has never been open to the media, opened its doors. The flatst large lawn was set up as a temporary venue. Hundreds of reporters gathered in front of the podium in the venue with long guns and short cannons. On the dozen or so rows of white chairs behind them, all the celebrities from Hollywood sat.


    In addition, hundreds of enlarged pictures were placed on the display racks around the venue. All of them were hungry children photographed by photographers from Africa. Although they were of different ages and different genders, they were all skinny and extremely conspicuous. His big head looks extremely miserable.


    "So what George said was true."


    After the speech of the famous reporter who frequently travels to poor areas of Africa on the stage, Taylor, who was sitting next to him, whispered, "There are such poor children in the world."


    "My dear, that''s all we can do."


    The deep-seated reasons in it can''t be explained clearly in a few words. Ryan patted her arm lightly, "So, don''t even think about running to Africa with Scarlett."


    "She''s a traitor again!"


    After muttering this sentence, Taylor''s head dropped.


    "I invite the founder of the foundation, Mr. Ryan Jenkins, below!"


    After waiting for the invitation from the host on the stage, Ryan sorted out his dress slightly, and under the shining of countless flashes, he got up and strode over and went to the podium.


    Today is the day when one of his charitable foundations was established.


    Ryan took out all the remuneration he received in the "Star Wars Series"-about a little more than 100 million US dollars-to set up this charitable foundation to rescue poor children in Africa, and also accept donations from Hollywood celebrities.


    Of course, this is not a foundation established for tax avoidance. Ryan will ask people to strictly supervise its operation and disclose all accounts. It is absolutely not allowed to explode all kinds of scandals like the Red Cross Society of North America.


    "ladies and gentlemen."


    Standing in front of the podium, Ryan lifted his hand slightly, and the reporters in front of him immediately returned to a quiet state. He did not prepare a speech. For him, impromptu speech was not a problem at all.


    "My purpose of establishing this foundation is very simple, to eliminate the threat of poverty and to rescue hungry children on the land of Africa."


    "Since the beginning of this year, a severe drought that has not been seen in 60 years has spread in the''Horn of Africa.'' After more than a decade of war, Somalia has fallen into the''worst food crisis in Africa''s history.'' According to official statistics from the United Nations..."


    Ryan stretched out his hand and introduced the leftmost position in the front row. Three officials from the United Nations rescue organization stood up and waved to the surroundings.


    He continued, ¡°At present, 640,000 children in Somalia are severely malnourished and most of them are facing death threats. The United Nations estimates that if immediate action is not taken, such as providing emergency relief food, drinking water and shelter, the number of people affected may increase. An increase of twelve-five percent, or even more than one million."


    "It is easy to denounce poverty and hunger, but it is difficult to overcome them. African children suffering from hunger, deprivation and humiliation need more than words of sympathy, they also need concrete support."


    "Across the African continent, there are still millions of children living in poverty who are deprived of their rights to food, education and health care. We must help them and extend a helping hand to them."


    There was warm applause from the audience. After the applause subsided, Ryan continued the following words.


    "Hunger is a common disaster faced by all mankind. We should help each other regardless of national boundaries. While enjoying the peace and prosperity of the United States, we should not forget that there are children on the other side of the earth waiting for our care. I call on More caring people will join in the rescue of hungry children in Africa and provide necessary assistance to African children who are suffering from humanitarian disasters!"


    There was warm applause from the audience again, and Ryan also raised his hands and slowly applauded.


    "I will devote 110 million US dollars to this charitable foundation in one lump sum, and thank Mr. Bill Gates and Mr. Warren Buffett. Although they did not show up, they donated US$20 million each. Thank you Mr. David Geffen, Mr. Steven Spielberg, Mr. James Cameron, Miss Nicole Kidman, Miss Julia Roberts..."


    Ryan thanked everyone who donated to and finally emphasized, "The accounts of the foundation will be made public. I will ask PricewaterhouseCoopers to supervise all the accounts. All expenses will be listed in the official On the website, friends in the media are also welcome to supervise."


    After speaking, he stepped off the podium and returned to his seat, followed by a speech from a UN official.


    What Ryan has done is just what most of the richest people in the world are doing. On the one hand, they are trying to extract profits from all over the world, and on the other hand, they spend part of the money to earn a good reputation for themselves.


    This is also related to Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, who each donated 20 million US dollars.


    Not long ago, these two super-rich people, who were among the top two on the Forbes rich list, sent a charity invitation to Ryan at the same time, with the theme of helping poor people all over the world. Ryan responded publicly at the first time, and then This foundation was established.


    After the brief foundation ceremony, all reporters were invited out, followed by a regular cocktail party. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 633： Black and white is the first choice

    After the ceremony, Ryan also held a formal reception dinner. Except for those who left because of emergency, most of them came to the big banquet hall in the clubhouse, sitting around dozens of tables, and enjoying the soothing music of the band. With the accompaniment, enjoy the exquisite Western-style meals.


    In this kind of occasion, no one would eat Hesai, everyone just tasted it. They would rather spend time on communication than catering.


    "Mr. Jenkins."


    Soon after the banquet, the three officials from the United Nations came to Ryan''s table and said, "Thank you for your contribution to African children!"


    "It should be."


    After squeezing their stretched hands one by one, Ryan said politely, "I''m just trying my best."


    "We have to catch a plane to return to New York."


    The leader said, "I have to leave first."


    "It''s ok."


    Beckoned to the rear, John walked over, Ryan whispered a few words to him, and he walked out of the banquet hall with three UN officials.


    All the people present today will get a few souvenirs specially made by the foundation, which are not expensive, but only a few dozen dollars, which can be regarded as a thank you for their support to the foundation.


    Like all high-end parties, the dinner party inevitably becomes a social party. In the spacious banquet hall, people constantly walk around, shuttle back and forth between the tables, and take the opportunity to expand their contacts.


    The table where Ryan sits is undoubtedly the focus of everyone''s relationship. Some people come over to talk a few words, and as the host and necessary etiquette, he is also patiently socializing.


    "brat¡­¡­"


    James Cameron sat down opposite Ryan and asked Tyler, "I heard you are about to release a record?"


    "It will take a while." Taylor politely beckoned to Susie Amis who was following Cameron, and continued, "To cooperate with Disney''s new movie."


    "Can you know which movie it is?" James Cameron looked over, and Ryan had just shook hands with the person next to him. Turning around and saying, "The movie based on the youth novel, "The Hunger Games."


    "Are you going to start shooting?" Nicole next to her blinked and asked.


    "August..." Taylor took the initiative to take the topic, "Starting in Australia."


    "Right, Jim." Ryan suddenly thought of the equipment company that James Cameron had been in charge of. "How is the progress on imax?"


    "The layout of the first phase is in progress." James Cameron took a glass of red wine from the waiter and raised the glass to Nicole. "There are on average two imax theaters in first-tier cities in the United States, but they lack enough. The source of the film."


    "And," he said again. "In my opinion, the effects of imax movies generated by conversion in the later stage are not ideal, especially the 3D effects."


    "Then why don''t you shoot one yourself?"


    There was Steven Spielberg''s voice beside him. After greeted Ryan and others, he also sat down, "James, you have always been the leader of new Hollywood technology."


    "Because Ryan, a stingy investor, has not made up his mind." James Cameron tilted his head to Ryan, and Ryan shook his head and said, "I said. Jim, if you need a 300 million dollar system I can issue the film fee immediately."


    "The time is still immature." James Cameron is as sensible as Ryan, "The number of screens in 3D and imax is too small."


    Last few years. Theater operators in North America are also looking for new growth points, and the 3d and imax cinemas, which can just raise the ticket price, are undoubtedly a very suitable choice, although it is far from popular. However, most mainstream cinema operators have included 3D cinemas in their next plans.


    "Steven..."


    After a few people chatted about this topic, Ryan looked at Spielberg. "I plan to launch "Jurassic Park 3" next year and plan to use 3D technology to make it. Are you interested?"


    "Use an influential movie to forcefully promote the popularization of 3D technology." James Cameron said suddenly, "This is a good idea!"


    "Ah..." Spielberg smiled awkwardly, "Ryan, I''m preparing to shoot "World War", it may be difficult to get out in a short time."


    "It''s okay." Ryan said nonchalantly, "Disney can wait for you."


    "Then... wait until I finish "World War" and talk about it." Spielberg raised his eyes. "Can you?"


    "No problem at all."


    Spielberg¡¯s life is not easy nowadays. "Happiness Terminal" can be said to be his worst box office performance in recent years, and the contradiction between the big three, as the various problems of DreamWorks become prominent, gradually gradually Get sharp.


    As long as it experiences another major blow, DreamWorks, which is in the midst of the storm, will basically end its struggle with traditional forces.


    Unlike DreamWorks, the development of the split DreamWorks Animation Studio is fairly smooth. In addition to "Shrek 2", the production of "Madagascar" is also coming to an end. They also bought "Kung Fu Panda" from Ryan. "The right to reorganize the project will be launched only after the manpower and funds are in place.


    In fact, the Big Three regretted introducing Ryan into the DreamWorks Animation Studios and made him the largest shareholder.


    The Big Three never imagined that what was once a cumbersome animation production department at DreamWorks has now become one of Hollywood''s leading animation studios.


    The DreamWorks Animation Studio under the leadership of Jeff Katzenberg is completely different from Pixar Studios. The latter pays attention to careful attention to detail and rarely starts two or more animated feature films at the same time, while the former is It is a multi-point attack, several projects go hand in hand.


    Moreover, the concepts of the two works are also completely different. If Pixar is asked to produce animations of DreamWorks in the past life, or if DreamWorks is replaced with Pixar''s project, the risk of failure will far exceed the possibility of success.


    Just like the animated movies that are too sweet and always sing and dance are typical Disney styles, they all have their own core production concepts.


    Although it is incorporated into Disney, Pixar Studios has maintained sufficient security.


    Ryan will not let Disney affect Pixar''s corporate culture and core philosophy too much.


    Compared with "Looking for Nemo", which set the box office record for animated movies last year, "The Superman Family" performed worse at the box office. Since August, the number of theaters has fallen to more than 600, and the box office has also dropped in a single week. It''s less than 1 million U.S. dollars.


    However, the North American box office of the film has reached more than 275 million U.S. dollars, and the overseas box office is also close to 200 million U.S. dollars. Although it is not as good as this month''s hottest "Spider-Man 2", it has already recovered its costs.


    The summer box office battle continued, but one piece of news suppressed all the big-selling movies and became the most concerned news in Hollywood.


    After being rejected by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeal, Mel Gibson, who was sentenced to ten years in prison, appealed to the Supreme Court of California, but was dismissed again after entering August, which also meant that he Must enter prison to serve sentence, and must not be released on bail or parole within the first five years.


    According to sources disclosed in the media, the Hollywood superstar had burst into tears after learning the news, hit his head against the wall, and finally fell to the ground. There is no more rebelliousness after the release of "The Passion of the Christ". And the crazy talk when facing Ryan.


    The mainstream media agreed that Mel Gibson deserved the crime, but there are not no people who complained for him.


    For example, the famous film critic Roger Albert, in his online column, thinks that ¡®this is a naked persecution, only because Mel Gibson offended a big man¡¯.


    Roger Albert also complained about "The Passion of the Christ", thinking that the film did not receive the respect that Hollywood deserves.


    He once gave this movie a rating of four stars or 10, and also gave two thumbs up.


    However, his voice was directly ignored by the mainstream media, and he didn''t even turn a big wave.


    In any case, Mel Gibson will face long-term imprisonment, and his career in Hollywood is basically finished. When he is released from prison, even if he returns to Hollywood, how many people will remember him? How many companies will use him?


    What he faced was a fate that was far more tragic and marginalized than in his previous life.


    Although all the legal procedures are perfect and impenetrable, anyone who understands the whole thing knows that the hand behind the scenes, with the support of many Jewish forces, has been controlling the progress of the incident until it destroys May. Gibson¡¯s future.


    After sending Mel Gibson to prison to pick up soap, Ryan had achieved his goal and put the matter aside.


    As for what Taylor said about asking George to send a few people in, it was purely a movie.


    Maybe after Mel Gibson is released from prison, he can think of a way to get him to the San Fernando Valley and pair up with Tom Cruise? If these two appeared in a super adult blockbuster, would be a record-breaking event in the industry. Presumably the DVDs will be sold out, and the adult Oscars will be softened, right?


    When the plane to Australia took off, Ryan suddenly had this idea.


    But then he vetoed it himself. Mel Gibson still had a lot of money, and he certainly wouldn''t be as depraved as Tom Cruise, who owed a huge debt and became addicted to drugs.


    Besides, is there a partner who is more suitable for Tom Cruise than Michael Tyson? Black and white is the first choice for many heavy taste lovers.


    When the plane entered a stable state, Natalie unfastened her seat belt and reminded everyone in the front cabin, "Everyone is free to move around."


    "Finally free."


    Tyler, who was sitting across from Ryan, stood up and pulled Scarlett Johansson, "Let''s go to the recreation room."


    "Excuse me, can I go together?" A little blond girl over ten years old came over, completely familiar, "Can we play together?" (to be continued...)()

 Chapter 634： The King of Bad Movies

    This time I went to Australia for the shooting of The Hunger Games. Although there are still quite a few scenes that have not been set up, they can be set up while shooting. The preliminary preparations are basically ready and the conditions for starting up are fully prepared.


    Ryan agreed to appear in this movie, but it was not the Gail mentioned earlier, but one of the tributes from other districts, um... but it is the heroine¡¯s biggest opponent, the drama is not too much, and it doesn¡¯t cost too much. Long time.


    But these are not important. To a certain extent, this is a movie that belongs to the heroine completely.


    "I shot action scenes."


    After drinking a sip of juice, Natalie looked at the sky outside the cabin and said, "Don''t forget, I have action scenes in both "The Threat of Ghosts" and "Attack of the Clones."


    "The powerful Queen Amidala once participated in the counterinsurgency war on Naboo."


    Before Ryan could speak, Taylor''s voice came in the direction leading to the back warehouse. She and Scarlett led the blonde girl in from left to right. Scarlett made a bow gesture and said , "Ryan, don''t forget, Nat is an archer who can shoot ten rings."


    "Can you ask me then."


    Seeing the three girls sitting on other sofa chairs, Ryan asked Natalie, "Do you often shoot ten rings?".


    "Only occasionally." Natalie beckoned to the bar, and immediately a stewardess brought drinks to the three girls, and she continued, "I practice archery mainly."


    "Handsome, handsome, and beautiful..." Taylor grumbled while biting the straw. "I originally wanted to be Nat''s sister in the movie, but Kate and Sophia didn''t even think about it."


    Then, she looked at the more than ten-year-old blonde girl next to her, and muttered, "This will make you cheaper. Hannah."


    "Because you are too tall!" Ryan nodded her head and pointed at Natalie again. "If the younger sister is taller than the older sister, do you think Katniss''s decision to replace her younger sister is convincing? ?".


    "But Hannah is too young." Taylor looked at the girl again, and the other person made an okay gesture, "She is only ten years old, and she doesn''t look like twelve."


    "My dear, you have obviously overlooked one thing."


    Scarlett Johansson flicked her forehead deliberately, and when Tyler turned her head and glared at it, she said unhurriedly. "Plim has always lived in the 12th district. She is a weak and innocent and lively girl, and her long-term lack of food has caused her malnutrition. She looks younger than her age to be in line with the actual situation."


    "So, Kate and Sofia chose Miss Dakota Fanning, not you." Seemingly to attack Taylor on purpose, Scarlett added, "And Hannah has appeared in more than ten movies so far. What about you? The actual performance experience is zero!"


    When talking about ¡®zero¡¯, she deliberately increased her accent.


    Tyler was suddenly yelled with anger, "Scarlett, I curse you for never getting an Oscar!"


    "It''s better than if you have never had any acting experience!" Scarlett hit back without showing any weakness.


    "I''m going to shoot mv this time. There will be soon."


    The two girls stared at each other like cockfighting. Dakota Fanning, who was sitting next to him, glanced at the mother on the other side of the bar subconsciously, and blinked innocent eyes and said to Ryan, "They...they..."


    "Don''t worry about them." Ryan shook his head. "It''s all right in a while."


    Looking at the familiar little girl again, Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head, he didn''t expect it either. Catherine Kennedy and Sophia Coppola actually chose Dakota Fanning.


    The other party has appeared in many works in recent years, and is one of the most spiritual girl stars in Hollywood today. Especially the sweet looks are particularly pleasing. The only pity is that the spirituality is basically gone after growing up, and the appearance...


    Maybe it''s the relationship between multiple crews. Although this girl is sometimes too smart, she knows how to get along well with people. After getting on the plane, Taylor and Scarlett did not reject her.


    This is also a good thing. Finding a smart little actor to act is a hundred times better than finding an idiot.


    "Ryan, let''s go to the movies."


    Tyler finished staring at Scarlett, jumped over and pulled him up, "It''s still a long time since I''m in Australia, hurry up, let''s go to the movies."


    She turned around and greeted, "Nate, let''s go together. And you, little fat girl!"


    "What do you want to see?" Ryan had to walk towards the small cinema in the back of the plane, and Taylor said with his arm, "Didn''t Warner give a copy of "Wonder Woman"? Don''t say you didn''t bring it. "


    "Okay." Ryan opened the door, and the girls rushed in first. He looked at Natalie, "If you feel bored, go to the back and rest."


    "I want to watch it again, too." Natalie squeezed past him. "This is Gail''s famous work."


    Just as Natalie said, Gail Gado became famous with this movie. In early August, "Wonder Woman" officially landed in North America, and won more than 72 million US dollars in the first week. Zhou''s box office totaled more than 120 million U.S. dollars. It is definitely Warner Bros.''s most successful movie in recent years.


    This movie also briefly evoked the audience''s memory of superheroes, and made Warner Bros. full of confidence in the next "Superman Returns." Even the senior officials of Time Warner began to fantasize about the Justice League series.


    For Ryan, the most important role of this film is not to compete with Surprise, but to prove that the subject matter that is completely female as the protagonist does have huge market potential.


    His research company has not stopped investigating and consulting "Wonder Woman" for more than a week. The proportion of female audiences in this film is as high as 57%. Princess Ann''s thoughts and remarks are quite nuanced, but she buys the account of this movie, thinking that this is a rare masterpiece with a female perspective.


    Another measure of Warner Bros. in the film also showed enough appeal.


    In addition to Gail Gado, the main actors, including Ares, are mostly under the age of 25. Most of the male actors are handsome and handsome, and the actresses are beautiful and **** enough, even if the film critics criticized the movie for becoming a model catwalk. , But could not resist the huge enthusiasm of the young people.


    With the younger generation of mainstream moviegoers, youthful movies will occupy an important position in the movie market.


    "Wonder Woman has proved the market acceptance for us."


    After watching the movie, a few people chatted in the small theater, and Ryan simply said, "All we have to do is to come up with the most sophisticated production."


    "That..." Tyler rolled his eyes and leaned back on Scarlett. "Can''t we make a movie of Black Widow alone? Look at Scarlett now. It''s the most beautiful and **** time. Wait. After a few years, I really became a chubby girl, and no one saw it after the filming."


    "Alison!" Scarlett grabbed her blonde hair tied into a ponytail and said viciously, "If you don''t speak, no one will treat you as an egg!"


    "Ahhhhhh..." Taylor squeezed Scarlett''s face with his backhand, "It''s mainly because I want to play the big villain, think about it, Miss Taylor Swift beat Agent Natasha Normanoff into a pig. What a great idea."


    While joking, she looked at Ryan again, "How about my suggestion?"


    "It''s great." Ryan was finishing the screening equipment and looked up and said, "But the movie will be shot as you said. I promise you and Scarlett won''t get any pay."


    "Then do you have a plan for "Black Widow"?". Natalie asked curiously.


    "Not for the time being, after all, the risk is a bit high." Ryan clapped his hands and sat next to Natalie. "If "The Hunger Games" can succeed, I must be surprised to consider it."


    "Wow, did you hear that, Scarlett?" Tyler suddenly turned around and kissed Scarlett''s forehead. "Are you not happy about the "Black Widow" movie alone?"


    "It doesn''t matter to pull it." Scarlett wiped her forehead, deliberately making a disgusting look, "I don''t have a short appointment now. According to Ryan, even if it is going to be filmed, it will be a few years from now."


    "Yes." Ryan continued, "Most of the surprise budget has been invested in "Hulk" and "Iron Man". It is impossible to start a major production for the time being. There is only a small investment in the back. "Ghost Rider"."


    "The movie starring Cousin Sophia?" Natalie had heard someone mention it. "It is said that he has encountered a relatively big financial problem."


    Ryan nodded, but said nothing.


    Nicholas Cage is also a movie star he admired very much in his previous life. Although this movie is always good and bad, the previous works are still quite good-looking. Unfortunately, after entering the new century, this man has encountered a huge Although not as miserable as Tom Cruise¡¯s debt crisis, it was also like a mountain, so he had to start unlimited movie reception and finally became the king of bad movies.


    But appreciation belongs to appreciation, and finance belongs to finances. These are two completely different things. Ryan will not be great enough to pay off debts, but after Sophia Coppola recommended it, it will still be in "National Treasure" and "Evil Knights". Nicholas Cage was enabled in ".


    I just don''t know if this person can get rid of the debt crisis as soon as possible, and don''t take so many bad movies in the future.


    Having said that, how much debt did he owe?


    Looking at Taylor, Scarlett and Natalie sitting together chatting, Ryan''s suddenly thought of this question.


    Forget it, it doesn''t matter to you. He shook his head, throwing away these curious thoughts.


    Ryan''s private jet flew directly to the east coast of Australia. Instead of going to Sydney, it landed in Brisbane, the capital of Queensland. The "Hunger Games" crew rented Warner''s studio, right on the Gold Coast.


    As for the location, such as the woods outside District 12 and the venue for the Hunger Games, Nicole¡¯s farm was chosen. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 635： Life and death 2

    Warner Movie World is located north of Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, just tens of miles away from Brisbane. This world-famous theme movie park is divided into two parts like Universal Studios, that is, the tourist area. And studios. Come to Lewen if you like to play or watch. lw0.


    Taking into account the location and the more generous preferential measures of the Queensland State Government, "The Hunger Games" chose the main filming area here.


    A few months ago, the preparatory work such as set-building and set-up had been started in Warner Studios. After Catherine Kennedy and Sophia Coppola and Tiger Chen, who was in charge of the action show, came here, the preparation work was greatly accelerated. They also recruited a large number of extras from Australia to film tribute exhibitions and other scenes.


    Except for actors such as Natalie, who was drawn up by Tiger Chen for a separate training plan, other actors who wanted to participate in the Hunger Games killing came to Brisbane more than a month ago to receive training.


    At first, Ryan made suggestions. In terms of actor selection, acting skills can be slightly worse, but it must have the vitality and youthfulness of young people, as well as a few key supporting roles. He also found Hollywood not worthy, but acting skills. Nice few people.


    Such as Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland and so on.


    After all, apart from Ryan himself, the most famous actors are Natalie and Scarlett Johansson. In addition, there is also James Franco, the supporting actor in Spider-Man, who will play Gale. , And Pita, another tribute in District 12, the crew chose a newcomer, who was about the same height as Natalie, but looked like a standard little white face.


    I saw this guy named John Morik. Ryan also thought about it. He didn''t have any impression in his memory, so he was probably lucky.


    Although I trained alone for a period of time, after I came to Australia, Ryan was included. All received short-term intensive routine exercises.


    These are all beautiful, simple and straightforward fighting methods.


    The completed training ground is full of futuristic style, and the actors are scattered on the black mats everywhere in twos and threes. Following the guidance of the action group, they practiced their different routines.


    "Are you ready. Nat?"


    Standing at the end of the rectangular black cushion, Ryan looked to the other side. Natalie, who was twenty feet away from him, was wearing sportswear and gave a thumbs up.


    "Pay attention to the essentials!" Tiger Chen shouted after reminding him loudly, "Go!"


    The voice just fell. Natalie rushed forward at the fastest speed, and when she reached the middle of the mat, she turned over on the spot, avoiding an attack that didn''t actually exist. Taking advantage of the situation, he grabbed the recurve bow on the mat, drew the long arrow from the quiver behind with the other hand, got up and fell on one knee. Turning back, bending the bow and shooting arrows, the black arrows flew into the open space behind.


    Just as she shot the arrow, Ryan rushed towards her according to the preset setting.


    Natalie turned around, Ryan was already in front of her, and the longbow was of no use. She immediately dropped the longbow, her legs exerted force, and greeted Ryan like a vigorous female leopard.


    She dodges the seemingly fast but limp fists, grabs Ryan''s arms along the way, and uses his forward force to use a standard back throw.


    Following Natalie''s movements, Ryan pushed his feet **** the ground, and his body immediately rose into the air. Natalie''s waist was ¡®smashed¡¯ onto the black mat.


    "perfect!"


    The tiger standing next to the cushion? Chen clapped his palms vigorously.


    "Wow, Nat defeated the big demon Ryan!"


    Next to Tiger Chen, Taylor''s cheers rang again, followed by Scarlett Johansson''s bewitching voice, "Nate, shoot him with the bow! Hurry up and shoot him with the bow!"


    "These two guys who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic!"


    Lying on the mat, Ryan rolled his eyes helplessly, Natalie''s hand fell in front of his eyes, "Waiting for me to pull you up?"


    Grasping Natalie''s hand, Ryan followed the strength of her pulling, stood up, and said to the two girls who were happily laughing, "Don''t you need to practice?"


    "My character is good at using flying knives." Scarlett Johansson pointed to Tiger Chen and said, "Tiger said that my movements are very standardized, and the effects of flying knives rely on post-production."


    "My character is good at hiding and running away." Tyler looked at his long legs proudly, "Running is not difficult for me."


    After coming here, an actress temporarily withdrew from the crew due to family reasons, and several friends appeared in the film. Taylor was also very excited. After participating in an audition, he got this almost inexistent role.


    She came here mainly to shoot an mv with the highlights of the film.


    Yes, she will sing the theme song of this movie.


    Picking up the longbow on the ground, Ryan drew a long arrow from the quiver behind Natalie, buckled it, and walked to the front of an archery target in a few strides. After taking aim, he pulled it away. Bowstring.


    The prop bow looks like that, but in fact it is soft and weak. Ryan only uses a little force to pull it into the shape of a full moon.


    After a ¡®swish¡¯, the unbladed arrow hit the edge of the target and fell to the ground.


    Shaking his head, Ryan returned the bow to Natalie who was following him, and picked up the rubber chromed prop sword from the shelf next to him, "This kind of weapon is the best for me."


    After finishing speaking, he also presented an almost standard knight holding sword ceremony.


    "Are you going to a duel with me?" Natalie tilted her head and looked over here, and then lightly poked him with her longbow. "My knight?"


    "I just want to protect you, my princess!"


    Shrugging, Ryan put the sword back on the shelf, "Okay, let''s take a rest."


    Although the main actors are still undergoing the final intensive training, the filming of the crew started a few days ago. Sophia Coppola¡¯s assistant led a photography team to the farm first to take some scenic shots. Is filming a large number of extras.


    Each day of hire of these extras represents an expense. Although the crew¡¯s initial budget is as high as 100 million U.S. dollars, an established producer like Catherine Kennedy naturally knows how to save money most.


    Like the Fox Studios in the suburbs of Sydney, a large industrial belt has also formed around the Warner Movie World production area.


    "Where are Scarlett and Alison?"


    After entering the lounge, Natalie found the other two girls missing. Sitting on the chair, after receiving the hot coffee that Ryan poured from the thermos, she asked, "These two guys get together. It will cause some inexplicable situations."


    "Don''t worry." Ryan poured another glass and sat next to Natalie. "They all have bodyguards."


    "Yeah~"


    Natalie nodded, chatted a few words with Ryan, took out her bag, took out a book from it, and looked through it.


    Ryan answered the phone and George Clooney called. All the post-production of "Argo" was completed, and it was released after full publicity.


    The release time of this film in North America is set in October. The film has inherent flaws in subject matter and genre, and it is impossible to compete with the super-large productions of the Thanksgiving Christmas file. This schedule seems to be better than that of "Argo "The more powerful film is "Alexander the Great".


    Maybe the box office of "Troy" is too far from the expected one, or maybe this year''s several historical epics have all suffered heavy losses. Warner Bros. moved this film out of the Christmas file and placed it in a place where there is almost no major production competition. In October, the schedule was two weeks earlier than Argo.


    To some extent, Warner clearly lacks confidence in this movie.


    When George Clooney said a few things about propaganda, Ryan hung up the phone. Naturally, the relevant departments of Disney will be responsible for these tasks.


    He turned his head and saw Natalie reading attentively, he couldn''t help asking curiously, "My dear, what are you reading?"


    "I bought it from the airport when I came." Natalie turned over the cover and gave Ryan a look. "A memoir of a rock climber."


    "Life and death?" Ryan murmured, "Why is there such a weird title?"


    "The man who wrote the book is called Alan Ruston, and he is now a national celebrity."


    Seeing Ryan a little curious, Natalie simply introduced the general content, ¡°In May last year, Alan Ruston was trapped by a rock on his right arm while climbing in Blue John Canyon in Utah. 5 days and 5 nights, in order to escape..."


    "I seem to have seen it somewhere." Ryan couldn''t help frowning, "but I can''t remember."


    "Last year, many media reported on this." Natalie made a bookmark and closed the book. "Would you like to listen?"


    "Of course Ryan gestured to her to continue.


    Natalie probably guessed that Ryan might have the same idea as herself, and continued, "Alan Ruston endured the severe pain and spent more than an hour breaking the radius and ulna of the upper arm. He used his own exercise rope as a temporary tourniquet, and then cut his right forearm from the elbow with a knife."


    Speaking of this, Natalie let out a sigh of relief, seeming to lament the protagonist of the memoir, "After he got out of the rock, in order to fight the blood loss, he climbed through the narrow and windy canyon with amazing perseverance. At the bottom of the valley at a depth of sixty feet, I walked another five miles and then met with rescuers and finally managed to survive."


    "Then I wrote this memoir?" Ryan took it, and squeezed his chin. "Nate, don''t you think this is a good subject?"


    "You mean to adapt the movie?" Natalie just guessed his thoughts. "Actually, I think so too. I originally planned to ask Pat to contact Alan Ruston to buy the right to adapt."


    "Leave this to me." Ryan took out his cell phone and dialed Julius Stewart. (To be continued. (lw0.))()

 Chapter 636： Does Hollywood discriminate against business?

    A few days later, Sophia Coppola ended most of the extras¡¯ scenes. The most difficult part was not filming, but makeup. The super avant-garde dress of Huiguo¡¯s upper class made a lot of preparations for the costume and makeup team of the crew. Even so, the working hours of these workers are close to twelve hours a day.


    Clothing is also a major feature of this movie. What Ryan asked for is simple, that is, to seize several key elements to attract the attention of teenagers and female audiences as much as possible.


    As for whether the film contains some hidden satire, that is something that screenwriter Susan Collins and director Sophia Coppola need to consider.


    There are a lot of action scenes in the shooting. Sophia Coppola is not good at these. The action scenes are basically handed over to Tiger Chen Lai.


    When actors, directors and various other teams from Hong Kong were squeezed out of Hollywood, he became one of the very few people who could gain a foothold in Hollywood because of the integration of his own efforts and the support from Jenkins Pictures. Outside of Tiger Chen, there are not many Hong Kong filmmakers who can stay in Hollywood.


    Kung fu movies that have been popular in North America for a period of time have also entered the sunset and are about to end.


    This is the inevitable development of Hollywood, and it cannot be changed by anyone or any group company. After the establishment of Hollywood, there have been several short-term emergence of foreign films, but after Hollywood absorbed the essence, most of these outsiders were finally eliminated. Out of North America.


    It''s very simple. Hollywood action directors only need to learn some kung fu, combined with other fighting methods, supplemented by various high-tech methods, enough to design a fight that attracts the audience.


    In the last ten years of Ryan''s previous life, the situation has almost developed in this way. Hollywood has absorbed some of the advantages of kung fu. Combining the specialties of Muay Thai, Judo, Taekwondo, Karate and Free Fighting, the designed fighting is simpler, fierce and direct, and the actual effect after the movie is released has proved to be enough to attract the attention of the audience.


    Tiger Chen basically gave up Yuan Heping''s routine, he was almost completely Hollywood.


    If you want not to be eliminated by Hollywood, you must first integrate into Hollywood and become a part of this big factory or assembly line.


    After all, a high degree of commercialization and industrialization is the key to Hollywood''s success.


    Ryan''s role is a completely masked villain, following the direction of the script. Except for the final fight with Pita and Katniss, there is no place to shine or show up. In the past life, it is a soy sauce crowd.


    Most of the time, he just sits next to watch the filming of the crew, and occasionally comes on stage to show some cool action shots in front of the camera, and even the lines are pitiful.


    Katniss is the only protagonist of the movie, and most of the camera shots will only follow Natalie.


    In just a few days. Natalie has been tested by a series of action shots such as climbing trees and hanging wires. Although there have been several small accidents in the middle, under the protection of the crew''s safety measures, she did not suffer any harm.


    of course. The story takes place in the future Shi Huiguo, whether it is shot in a studio or several times to go to Brisbane for shooting, there will always be a green screen in front of the camera lens.


    With the rapid development of computer synthesis technology. This has become a necessary part of all major productions.


    After more than ten days of shooting, there was good news from North America. After several rounds of negotiations between Jules Stewart and Alan Ruston. An agreement was quickly reached, and Disney Pictures received the right to adapt "The Dilemma of Life" with a $1 million plus 3% North American box office share.


    Ryan also took the time to finish reading this memoir, and then confessed that Julius started to write the script. This kind of movie is a one-man show most of the time. It is more about the mastery of the starring and the director. The script can only be said to be relatively inferior. Essential elements.


    "The progress of setting up here is a little slower than expected." Sophia Coppola put down the coffee cup, "I talked to Ms. Kennedy on the phone yesterday, and the farm is basically set up. After this week, we will go to shoot the location first. ."


    Today¡¯s movie ended earlier. People who are familiar with Ryan, Natalie and Sophia Coppola returned to Brisbane and met in the hotel¡¯s western restaurant for dinner. After dinner, they enjoyed coffee and chatted. Up.


    "It''s great." Taylor sniffed the coffee, and still picked up his juice obediently, "I miss Gelug."


    "Who is Gru?"


    Natalie, who was talking about something with Scarlett, suddenly raised her head and asked, "Your new friend?"


    "That..." Taylor rolled his eyes and thought about what to say in an instant, "A shepherd dog, the leader of the hunting dog on the farm, is best at hunting hares."


    Natalie nodded and turned to Ryan who was sitting next to her, "Don''t you invite us to go hunting together?"


    "Of course you can if you like it." As soon as Ryan''s voice fell, Scarlett over there tapped the table lightly, "In this case, you can prepare a bow and a pot of arrows for Nat..."


    "Need to prepare a throwing knife for you?" Ryan joked.


    "She can''t miss the rabbit even if she is prepared." Taylor bit the straw and muttered sarcastically. "We tried yesterday, but Scarlett couldn''t even miss the target."


    Scarlett Johansson shrugged, but rarely said anything, and obviously knew that the level of throwing a knife was bad enough.


    Several people laughed and talked about the herbivores in Australia, and the topic turned back to the movie.


    "The crew borrowed the warehouse area of ??the farm to build the 12 districts." Sophia Coppola said of some preparations there. "The hilly area at the edge of the woods has been set up as a battlefield for the game."


    She suddenly sighed, "Frankly speaking, Ryan, the production cost pressure of 100 million US dollars is a bit heavy. If you hadn''t prepared an action director, I would definitely not take this series."


    "Sophia, don''t you want to make the face of those critics who criticized you back then?"


    Holding a coffee cup, Ryan said in a bewildered voice, "You won the Oscar nomination for best director. The critics who laughed at you back then said that female directors can make literary and artistic movies, and they do nothing at the box office. You don''t want to be in those film critics. Is the person slapped **** the face?"


    "And..." He raised his finger and interrupted Sophia Coppola''s words, "If you really want Hollywood to recognize your value, high-grossing movies are indispensable."


    There are many people who have won the best director Oscars in their previous lives, but everyone who can really get into the ranks has proven themselves at the box office or in business.


    Oscars may discriminate against purely commercial film directors to a certain extent, but Hollywood definitely does not.


    The simple truth is that for film companies, is Sam Mendes, who won the Oscar for best director for his debut, important, or Michael Bay, who has never made an Oscar?


    You can even replace Michael Bay with pure commercial film directors such as Stephen Sommers and Roland Emmerich.


    Having said that, Ryan really doesn''t remember who the director of "The Hunger Games" was in his previous life, otherwise he would not choose Sophia Coppola.


    However, this is also beneficial. With the opening of the Internet era, it has become a normal phenomenon for directors to come to the front desk. The all-feminine main creative lineup is definitely easier to attract women''s attention.


    Maybe you can do some public relations work with several large feminist organizations, and ask them to properly promote the movie when they engage in activities?


    Go back to Disney to discuss it.


    Several women were chatting about topics of interest to each other, while Ryan was listening and thinking about these things.


    "The Hunger Games" wants to succeed, not only to promote the film, the influence of the novel is also indispensable, like the "Harry Potter" series, movies and books have a very significant mutual promotion relationship, and The most indispensable thing for Disney is the experience of promoting young people''s works.


    From this year to the present, in Nielsen''s statistics, "The Hunger Games" is the best-selling book second only to the "Harry Potter" series and "The Da Vinci Code". Since its publication, the United States has sold nearly 7 million in total. In terms of the promotion of online and e-books, Disney has also made great efforts. On several websites such as Amazon, the sales volume of this book has never fallen out of the top five.


    By adapting books that have responded well to the market into movies, and then promoting the sales of books and peripheral products through movies, Hollywood is very familiar with this set.


    On the premise of ensuring the popularity of movie promotion, Disney''s temporary promotion focus is still on the novel. With more readers of the novel, the movie will have the most basic audience in the future.


    Perhaps after the movie is released next year, Mockingbird will become the most popular brooch in the United States.


    "Mv? Waiting for someone from Hollywood Records to come overTaylor''s words interrupted Ryan''s thoughts. He smiled and said, "Honey, are you in a hurry? "


    "The time is fixed, there is nothing to worry about." Taylor turned the empty cup, "Even if it is to be filmed, it depends on Sophia''s schedule."


    "When will the record be released?" Sophia Coppola asked.


    "My fifteenth birthday." Tyler pointed to Ryan, "He said this is my birthday present this year."


    "The mv will be released sooner." Ryan added, "About half a month in advance, so I told you to cut a part of the film, plus use the game location as the mv shooting scene, if the mv market is well received, it can also Promote the movie."


    Although it has not been launched yet, the relevant departments of Disney and Hollywood Records have formulated a comprehensive publicity plan and have deliberately selected an alternative mv first platform.


    With Disney''s huge resources, it is not difficult to win a girl with an already extraordinary strength. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 637： Time is limited

    The sparse sunlight fell in the woods. On the opposite side of the light barrier, Sophia Coppola carried the camcorder in person, and when she saw Natalie and James Franco were ready, she shouted to start.


    James Franco, who plays Gale, picked a rock from the ground at random and threw it into the bushes not far away. Natalie opened her bow and arrows at the fastest speed, shooting a soft arrow...


    Then, a huge hare ran out of the bushes in full view, and rushed into the depths of the woods like an arrow from a string.


    "Cut!"


    Sophia Coppola handed the camera to the assistant and shouted angrily, "Damn! Damn rabbit again!"


    Since the crew moved to the farm, when shooting in the wild, the biggest problem they faced was the hares that sprang out from time to time. These rabbits, who seemed not afraid of humans at all, became the protagonists of stealing the spotlight.


    "Henry!" Sophia Coppola found the person in charge of the security of the crew. "Take someone to search the nearby bushes. I don''t want to see hares again!"


    When she passed by Ryan, she cursed in a low voice, "I hate rabbits!"


    Shooting is like this. There will always be various accidents. The proliferation of wild rabbits in Australia has indeed caused some troubles to the crew, but it is not an unsolvable problem. Starting from the second day, Gru joined the crew. Before shooting, just release It turns around on location, and basically won''t encounter the situation of hare stealing the spotlight again.


    "You have to pay for Gelug!" Taped the head of Gelug who was lying on the side of the chair, Taylor said to Ryan, who was sitting across the small round table, "One hundred dollars a day will do."


    "Then who will keep its salary?"


    Natalie moved her gaze from the huge canopy of the eucalyptus tree above to Taylor, and Taylor said naturally, "Of course it is me. I saw Apple''s new player a few days ago. It''s a pity..."


    "It''s a pity that all the pocket money is spent, right?" Ryan took off his sunglasses. He tapped the table lightly and said, "My dear, can you tell me what you bought?"


    "It''s nothing." Tyler threw a piece of dried meat to Glu, and said after thinking about it. "I went to Brisbane and the Gold Coast with Hannah and Scarlett a few times, and then went to the Great Barrier Reef to give you and Na Especially, and...well, others bought some gifts."


    Dust was raised on the road outside the woods. A Chevrolet SUV stopped at the periphery of the shooting location from far and near. Two middle-aged men quickly walked into the temporary studio. After being questioned by the crew¡¯s security staff, under the leadership of an assistant, quickly Step towards this side.


    "Is this the person Pat mentioned when he called yesterday?" Natalie asked as she looked at the two people who were getting closer and closer. "The one in front seems familiar."


    "It''s them." Ryan nodded, "Ang Lee, the Chinese director."


    Natalie waved her hand to the other side. Ask the assistant to prepare black tea and coffee.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins. Hello, Miss Portman."


    "Hello, Mr. Li."


    The two stood up. After shook hands with Li Ang one after another, Ryan motioned to the two opposite chairs, "You are welcome, just sit down."


    Then turned to look at Taylor. "Let Gru go around in the woods."


    "I''ll go with it."


    Probably when he saw that there was something to discuss, Taylor politely greeted the guests and led Gru to the woods not far away. Bodyguards followed immediately.


    Ryan could roughly guess the purpose of Ang Lee''s coming here, and after waiting for the assistant of the crew to deliver coffee, he asked, "Mr. Lee, I don''t know you are coming to Australia..."


    Having lived in the West for so many years, Ang Lee is also accustomed to this straight-forward way of speaking, "Mr. Jenkins, I heard that the movie copyright of Brokeback Mountain is in your hands?"


    "It''s not a secret." Ryan looked at him with interest. "Mr. Li is interested in this script?"


    "Yes." Ang Lee directly admitted, "I want to direct this movie."


    Things went around in a circle and returned to the path of the previous life.


    Regarding this point, Ryan had already guessed it. After all, although Ang Lee did not take the "Hulk", he took on another commercial production "Mutated Dogs". As a result, this movie that should not exist in the previous life is better than the "Green Giant". The consequences of "Giant" are even more serious.


    How can "Hulk" cost 130 million U.S. dollars to produce more than 200 million U.S. dollars in box office from around the world. However, this movie about the war between humans and dogs, with an investment of 100 million U.S. dollars, only Collected more than 90 million US dollars in the box office.


    Things have also proved that Ang Lee is indeed not suitable for fully commercialized movies.


    His current situation is very delicate. If an American director fails, he will dormant for a while, and a Chinese director suffered such a serious setback in Hollywood. If he does not take the initiative to find a way to prove himself, he can only leave Hollywood.


    Therefore, he once again fell in love with the sensitive subject of Brokeback Mountain.


    Originally, Ryan took the script to give it to Natalie, maybe she will use it in the future, but Natalie didn''t accept it.


    Ryan ignored a very important issue, Natalie''s family and her father.


    Although the relationship between Natalie and her parents is not particularly good because of him, it has not broken down. She must be concerned about the impact of this sensitive subject on the thinking of her family.


    Therefore, this script has always been shelved in his hands. If it were not for no choice, who would take the initiative to touch this kind of subject matter from the perspective of **** men?


    "Mr. Li, we are very happy working together on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"."


    That film did bring him a lot of profits. If this film works well, it will be no exception. Ryan raised his right hand and extended two momentum, "Two conditions."


    Ang Li nodded and waited for Ryan to continue speaking. After all, if there were conditions, there was something to talk about.


    "First." Ryan put down his middle finger, "The film is entirely invested by Flower Pictures, and the production cost must be compressed within 15 million US dollars."


    "I can give up all the director''s pay." Li Ang said without hesitation.


    "No need." Ryan waved his hand. "I have studied the script, and 15 million dollars is enough for this film."


    He didn''t even bother to do things like deducting the director''s remuneration.


    "Second." Ryan put down his index finger again, "You have to finish it as soon as possible. I want this film to appear at the Cannes Film Festival next year."


    "This..." Li Ang frowned, "Time is a little tight."


    "Let''s put it this way, Mr. Lee." Ryan looked at Natalie next to her. "This script was originally prepared for Miss Portman. I have inspected many situations in advance, including location and actors. These are in the script. They are all indicated, I believe they will provide you with some help."


    By the same token, if not in a hurry to transform, how many actors would be willing to play Jack and Ennis?


    The actress doesn''t matter, it seems that there is no movie star named Anne Hathaway in Hollywood until now.


    It''s August, and the Cannes Film Festival is in May. It took more than eight months from preparation to filming to completion of the film, but Ang Lee still responded.


    At his home in Los Angeles, Ryan gave Lisa''s phone number to Ang Lee and asked him to contact the housekeeper directly when he returned to Los Angeles.


    After talking about business matters, Li Ang didn''t even drink coffee, and left in a hurry.


    "Why must I attend the Cannes Film Festival?"


    Looking at the distant back, Natalie asked curiously, "Don''t you think time is too tight?"


    "Forgot to tell you."


    Drinking all the coffee in the cup, Ryan remembered the invitation he had received before coming to Los Angeles, "Cannes wants me to be the chairman of the jury for next year''s film festival."


    "Did you agree?" Natalie looked at him with incredible eyes.


    "No." Ryan shook his head, "I''m still thinking about it, but now there is one more reason to agree."


    "That''s why you let Drew''s Flower Pictures invest." Natalie immediately understood, "So that this movie doesn''t seem to be directly related to you, right?"


    "Sure enough, Nat knows me."


    Pulling Natalie''s hand, Ryan kissed gently on the back of his hand, "If Li can shoot the effect I want, it is not impossible to get a Palme d''Or, so that the box office of the movie will be more secure. "


    "The effect you expected?" Natalie turned her head and looked at him up and down carefully. Ryan spread her hand and said, "My dear, didn''t I say that, this was originally a script for you. But I ignored your family factor."


    "Compared to homosexuality." Natalie filled him with coffee, "I am more interested in "The Dilemma".


    "Then wait for you to finish this movie."


    In this case Then just invest yourself, "Let¡¯s go to Utah to see it together."


    Ang Lee¡¯s arrival is just a small episode in the filming. In the location scenes filmed here, Ryan is one of the last players in The Hunger Games, but there are not many scenes, except for a big fight with Natalie. At other times, it is basically a standard soy sauce male vase.


    Using the free time of shooting, Sophia Coppola also took the shot of Taylor''s first mv, Taylor, who was already five feet ten inches tall, looked as beautiful as a female elf walking out of Middle-earth after putting on a veil.


    In just two days, Sophia Coppola finished filming this MV, and then it was time for Ryan to leave.


    Although the film is still too early to complete, it is impossible for him to stay in Australia for a long time, and August is about to end, and there is still a lot of work related to the summer vacation that needs to be processed.


    Another year¡¯s hottest movie schedule has passed. There are movies that have made a lot of profits from the market, such as "Spider-Man 2" and "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith", etc.; there are also movies that are destined to be long-term. The copyright in the later stage of the operation can only be recovered, such as "Troy"; there are also movies that may have a huge loss, and the most typical one is "King Arthur". (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 638： The meeting point of Eastern and Western aesthetics

    In New York at the beginning of September, not only the 24-hour sleepless''desire. Looking at the city'', but also carnivals from the fashion industry are displayed in front of people. Every time this season, New York Spring and Summer Fashion Week will open hotly, Manhattan The famous Bryant Park has become very lively.


    For fashionistas, this is a trendy party focusing on makeup, hairstyle, manicure, accessories, etc. It is a beautiful feast for the visual senses, and they can enjoy the trend as much as possible. For those who are not sensitive to fashion, each Lu monsters and demons gathered in Manhattan again.


    Since Charlize Theron has begun to enter the fashion industry, of course he will not miss this moment. Ryan was immediately pulled over by her after returning to North America from Australia.


    "Ct is not yet eligible to enter the four major fashion weeks."


    In a black Bentley, the dressed-up Charlize said to Ryan, "The company has just been established, and it is not eligible to get tickets for such a large-scale catwalk event."


    The car turned from Fifth Avenue into Bryant, which is Central Park, waiting in line for the organizer''s scheduling arrangements.


    Beginning in 1993, after New York Fashion Week was reorganized in Central Park, the catwalks were placed in white tents, and only invited buyers, industry insiders, media and celebrities from all walks of life could enter.


    This year, Central Park has set up a total of three giant tents. During Fashion Week, 63 fashion shows will be held in giant tents, and another 12 fashion shows are scattered in other parts of New York.


    Of course, these are all on the way when Ryan heard Charlize''s introduction.


    After waiting for a few minutes, the Bentley RV slowly drove to the vicinity of a giant tent. After Ryan got out of the car with Charlize, he ignored the reporters who swarmed in. Under the **** of bodyguards, he walked in quickly. In the tent.


    This is the spring and summer fashion show belonging to Versace, Ryan is not familiar with the fashion industry. Most of the time, he exists as a foil for Charlize. Even after entering the tent, he is silent most of the time, but his identity as a superstar and Disney owner is the most attractive aura.


    In the face of those who came to say hello, Ryan either shook hands or nodded in greeting, neither arrogant nor overly valued.


    Among these people are George Armani, Anna Wintour, Donatella Versace and other fashion celebrities who have heard of before, as well as Richard Gere, Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz Wait for familiar Hollywood stars.


    "What a weird girl."


    Seeing the girl who said hello last left, Ryan whispered to Charlize who was holding him as he walked toward the front row of seats. "How did you become thin like this?"


    It was a brown-haired girl with light black skin. She was about five feet five inches tall and seemed to weigh only eighty pounds at most. She was very skinny to describe it.


    "Here."


    Pulling Ryan down, the two found their positions. After sitting down, Charlize said, "That''s Allegra Versace, who just inherited 50% of the shares from Gianni Versace this year. Net worth. At least $500 million. It is said that she suffers from severe anorexia and can only rely on infusion of nutrient solution to sustain her life."


    "So it was her." Ryan shook his head.


    "Have you seen her before?" Charlize''s eyes widened and turned to look at him. "I remember you have no intersection with the fashion industry."


    "I heard others talk about it."


    After this sentence, Charlize immediately thought that there was another fashionista from Australia beside him, curled his lips and said nothing.


    Ryan did not continue to explain either. He had heard that the heir of the Versace family was because of the relationship in his previous life, and vaguely remembered that it was a physical novel that he had read. The protagonist in it met Allegra Versace. I even used a few meals of Chinese food to cure the severe anorexia caused by vomiting immediately after eating...


    "Hi, Ryan. Hi, Charlie."


    A clear greeting came from nearby. When Ryan turned to look, Charlize was shaking hands with Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton.


    "It''s been a long time, Parrie."


    Ryan gently shook her stretched hand, and greeted Nicky Hilton again.


    Paris Hilton sat beside Charlize and said to this side with a smile, "You are too busy, Ryan."


    "When will the new movie be released?" Charlize asked suddenly.


    At this time, more and more people entered the show. Many people were using their free time before the fashion show to communicate. They shuttled back and forth between rows of white chairs. The front row was filled with heavyweight guests. Busy place.


    After dealing with a few people who came to say hello, Paris Hilton continued the topic just now, "Is it "The Wax Museum of Horror"? It''s coming next year."


    Because Paris Hilton signed with Pai Kingsley¡¯s agency, Ryan also heard people say that this horror film remade by Fox should be the one from the previous life. The only difference is Paris Hilton. From the supporting role of the vase in the previous life, she became the most important heroine in the drama.


    In fact, since relying on Ryan¡¯s support, Paris Hilton has become the paparazzi¡¯s darling after two "Charles of the Thunder" made a certain fame in Hollywood. Although the behavior is much more restrained than in the previous life, it can be regarded as a paparazzi. One of the famous topic queens, there will be some eye-catching lace news from time to time.


    Unlike previous lives and videotape incidents, most of these news focused on conflicts with other female stars. The most popular tabloids were her co-authors with Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. The contradiction between.


    Just last month, a paparazzi from the "California" newspaper secretly took photos of these three people fighting after getting drunk in a famous nightclub in Los Angeles, which caused an uproar in the public opinion.


    The hostile relationship between Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears has also been dismissed by tabloids as one of Hollywood''s most famous rivals.


    Perhaps Paris Hilton is a little confused in private life, but she is definitely not stupid. On the contrary, she is very clever. In the past two years, she has used her reputation to create her own fashion brand and chain store with the support of her family. It started not long ago, but it is much stronger than the''ct'' company that Charlize just established.


    The two women also have a lot of topics in common in this regard.


    The catwalk opened quickly. At the end of the t-stage, Versace¡¯s iconic Medusa head logo was shining under the light. The female model led by Kate Moss appeared in the stretch. On stage.


    "Exaggerated, sexy, expressing the freehand feeling of dreams."


    Amid the music, Charlize murmured in Ryan''s ear, "Although Gianni Versace is no longer there, Versace still has the same style as before."


    Shrugging, Ryan remained silent, he really couldn''t say anything about fashion.


    On the contrary, compared with fashion style, because of Charlize''s involvement, he has a relatively better understanding of the development and financial status of these luxury goods companies.


    For example, Versace, since Gianni Versace was shot and killed, the business situation has been poor. In the past few years, it has suffered losses. Last year''s total turnover was only more than 300 million euros, but it is now the income of a medium-invested movie from Disney.


    Speaking of which, fashion shows are not much different from Hollywood''s film industry.


    The four major fashions are released in two seasons on Monday. Fashions range from ready-to-wear to haute couture, just like Hollywood''s commercial blockbusters every year, attracting enough attention with audiovisual feasts.


    A catwalk is like a movie preview. The front rows of the show are always media editors, celebrities, senior executives from big companies, and potential buyers. Designers, like film directors, always piece together to talk about inspiration. Actually just to sell two more clothes...


    For example, gold owners like Ryan are definitely super clients in their eyes. As long as he wants, these luxury brands can provide the most thoughtful customized services.


    Compared to the concentrated Charlize, Ryan is just watching the excitement. In any case, most of the tall models are still very eye-catching, and even saw a Chinese model with black hair, a flat nose and small eye sockets. The vague memory told him that this supermodel surnamed Lu should be from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, but this''beautiful model'' praised by the Western media really hardly meets his aesthetics.


    It should be said that it does not conform to the aesthetics of most people in the country on the other side of the Pacific.


    Strangely speaking, many Chinese actresses who can mix well in the West are of this kind.


    For example, Lucy Liu, who played the opposite role with Charlize in "Kill Bill", also has a flat nose, small eye sockets and freckles on her face, but she is highly praised by many media.


    Ryan asked Charlize once, and even Charlize Theron praised Lucy Liu for being really beautiful. In her eyes, the other party was far more beautiful than the Miss Zhang in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". UU reading www. uukanshu.cOM


    There are really many examples of this kind. Devon Aoki who appeared later, and Versace''s queen Japanese model, are also of this type.


    "What do you think?"


    Seeing that he was in a trance, Charlize leaned over and asked. Ryan simply whispered his thoughts, and the South African Diamond shrugged, "I think it''s okay. After CT''s jeans are on the market, I still want to find That Miss Lu is the endorsement, don¡¯t you always say that the potential of the Chinese market is huge? Let¡¯s open the specialty store over there."


    "My dear, give you a suggestion." Ryan couldn''t help but have the urge to cover his forehead. After Charlize made a please gesture, he said, "You should speak for yourself, I promise, the effect is definitely better than that of Lu Miss."


    If there is a meeting point between the aesthetics of the East and the West, it is definitely not on people like Lucy Liu and Devon Aoki, but Charlize Theron and others are more in line with this condition.


    After the catwalk, Ryan and Charlize rejected Versace¡¯s invitation to a party and rushed back to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel before dinner. They also wanted to participate in a celebration party for Time Warner. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 639： Female paramedic?

    "Welcome, Ryan."


    "You''re welcome, Tang."


    Entering the banquet hall of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Ryan shook hands with the welcoming Don Logan. When we met last time, the other party was the President of Time Warner, and has now become the chairman of the board of directors.


    This is a celebration party organized by Time Warner. Once Time Warner and AOL formally merged, it became the world¡¯s number one media group. Secondly, it has gone through the fiasco of Catwoman and the tepidity of Troy. Later, "Wonder Woman", jointly created by many subsidiaries such as comics and Warner Bros., achieved results that far exceeded expectations.


    "Wonder Woman" was released in North America for more than a month, and won more than 260 million US dollars in the box office. The final North American box office is very likely to be close to or exceed 300 million US dollars. Moreover, the film''s box office accumulated in the overseas regions where it was shown Close to 200 million U.S. dollars, it has now achieved 450 million U.S. dollars worldwide, far surpassing the "Troy" that was released more than two months earlier.


    This is also the highest-grossing film among Warner''s recent films.


    "I saw an acquaintance, go say hello."


    Charlize, who was holding him, said in a low voice and walked to the other side. Ryan and the people from Warner continued the topic just now. Gerald, who came over from Los Angeles, was still talking to him "Wonder Woman". Man".


    "According to our estimates, the global box office of this movie will be close to 600 million U.S. dollars."


    The box office sales of "Wonder Woman" greatly eased the huge pressure on Gerald. "If we can reach this number, we will be able to recover the cost of the movie through the box office."


    "Congratulations." Ryan raised his glass to him, and Gerald, who was standing opposite, took the glass and drank it, then smiled and said, "We should congratulate you, Ryan, Disney It¡¯s the biggest winner of the summer vacation."


    Ryan just smiled. But didn''t say anything.


    Don Logan took the initiative and said in a very emotional tone, "The Superman Family is $300 million, "Spider-Man 2" is $370 million, and "The Day After Tomorrow" is $200 million. This is only the North American box office. ! You know, Ryan? After seeing this, I want to change positions with you."


    "If you take out the same amount of shares, I have no objection." Ryan touched the glass with him, joking casually. "Time Warner is the world''s number one media group."


    Drinking the soda in the cup, Ryan continued, ¡°Warner has a lot of profit points, and unlike Disney, it needs good enough film and television works to drive the overall business.¡±


    Warner¡¯s senior executives did not take Ryan¡¯s words, and very cleverly changed the topic. Only these executives knew that Time Warner, after swallowing AOL, despite being named the world¡¯s No. 1 media group. number. In fact, it is not as good as it seems.


    "Ryan, I heard that Disney is planning to cooperate with a Chinese group company to invest in China''s cinema market?" Tang Logan turned to Disney''s recent investment actions, "Has the intention been reached?"


    "The agreement was just signed last week."


    The news was originally released by him deliberately, and it is not surprising that others know. "Disney is just a shareholder."


    He can only be a shareholder, which is related to the media market, and the other side will not allow international groups to obtain actual ownership and operation rights, just like the cinema chain where he worked in his previous life. There is also investment from international sources, but no right to speak.


    "Does Warner also have investment considerations in this regard?" Ryan asked tentatively.


    "Indeed." Don Logan nodded, seeing Ryan handing the empty cup to the waiter passing by. He beckoned and sent a cup of soda, and continued, "The Chinese film market has developed at an amazing speed in recent years. We have also reached an agreement with a company that they will accept the capital injection from Warner.


    "That''s great." Ryan took the soda from the waiter. "The number of screens on the opposite side is insufficient, which is an obstacle that affects our films'' high box office. If they can advance their theater line construction speed, it won''t take too much. In time, China will become the second largest film market after North America."


    "Don''t forget their population base." Gerald added.


    "I suggest..." Don Logan glanced around and raised his wine glass, "For us to get more profits from the Chinese market, cheers!"


    "Cheers!"


    Everyone raised their wine glasses at the same time. In this matter, they have common interests.


    In the past few years, even Hollywood¡¯s dullest film companies have understood the huge potential of the Chinese market. Those who have the ability do not want to go there to make profits. Except for pioneers like Paramount and Disney, the other big ones. Companies have also established branches in China. Even DreamWorks Animation Studios, which want to place the Far East branch in Hong Kong, are now planning to change to Shanghai or Beijing.


    When enough benefits are revealed, the commercial-first Hollywood will swarm like sharks that smell of blood.


    As one of the earliest pioneers, Disney has taken over the foundation that Jenkins Pictures originally built, and has been at the forefront of Hollywood in terms of the introduction of its films or the sale and transfer of related copyrights.


    Most typically, in 1998, the DVD copyright of "Titanic" Jenkins Pictures only sold a price of 3 million RMB, while the copyright auction held in "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" last year, the price was 20 million RMB, which does not count the licensing fees for TV stations and other aspects.


    Despite the impacts and restrictions of piracy and other aspects, Disney''s profits from China in the film and television industry have almost doubled every year.


    The topic has been revolving around the movie. When Tim Burton came over, several senior Warner executives still had some small disputes about whether to continue the "Wonder Woman" series or restart "Batman".


    After all, this is Warner''s internal affairs, Ryan beckoned to them and left there altogether.


    There were a lot of acquaintances at the party, Ryan met Brian Singer before he went far, and he just nodded to each other.


    Brian Singer has fulfilled the contract with Marvel for three films. "X-Men 3: Last Stand" completed all the post-production work in July, but the film was pushed to be released in May next year by Marvel.


    On the stage of the banquet hall, a melodious waltz sounded. Ryan refused the invitation of several ladies. When he was about to go to Charlize, a Bai Shengsheng''s palm was handed to him.


    "Okay, Ryan?"


    Facing Gal Gado¡¯s invitation, Ryan shook his head slowly, ¡°Forget it, did you forget that I stepped on your foot at Arnold¡¯s party?¡±


    Although dancing is part of social etiquette, he is really not good at it.


    "okay then."


    Gail Gado took two glasses of juice from the passing waiter and handed it over, "Remember you don''t drink."


    "Thank you." Ryan took it.


    "I should thank you and Nat." The long-legged girl is obviously a sensible person.


    "You''re welcome." Ryan smiled and shook his head. "In fact, we didn''t do anything."


    "But without your words." Gal Gado touched his cup, "I definitely can''t get the role of Princess Diana."


    "I became famous overnight!" She exaggerated, "I didn''t even dare to think of this feeling before."


    "Congratulations," Ryan said after taking a sip of juice.


    The first part of the series was a success. If nothing else, Natalie¡¯s Jewish friend almost got a long-term meal ticket.


    "I talked to Nat on the phone the other day."


    Gail Gado is a smart person, knowing that Ryan takes care of her more on Natalie''s affection. "She said that after filming "The Hunger Games", is she going to prepare her new work? Or as a director?"


    "Yeah~" Ryan nodded, hearing the familiar sound of high-heeled shoes coming from the side, speeding up his speech, "It''s a biopic."


    After speaking, he turned his head, greeted Charlize who was walking over, and said with a smile, "Done talking?"


    Raising his eyebrows and taking Ryan''s arm, Charlize looked at Gal Gado, "Don''t you introduce me?"


    "Hello, Miss Theron, this is Gail Gado, from Israel."


    "Hello, Miss Gado."


    Charlize nodded to her again after gently squeezing the hand that the other party proactively extended.


    Although he was curious about some rumors in his heart, Gail Gado knew he was going to leave, and after speaking to the two of Ryan, he turned and left.


    "This is the new Wonder Woman?" Charlize''s eyes fell on the slender back of the other person. "It''s really beautiful. No wonder it can win so many boys and girls likes."


    "This shows that the market fully accepts movies with women as the protagonist." Ryan thought of another aspect.


    Successful movies are often the result of the superposition of many factors and failed movies as long as there is a little unlikable is enough. Although "The Hunger Games" novels are hot, he is still a little worried. After all The movie is several years ahead of schedule.


    "What did you do just now?" Ryan led Charlize to the rest area, randomly selected a table, and sat down next to him. "It seems to have a good chat?"


    "I met the director of Oliver Stone." Charlize reached out and helped Ryan tidy up the crooked bow tie. "He wants to invite me to star in his new movie, a female paramedic who died in the 9/11 incident."


    "Female paramedic?"


    I remembered that Oliver Stone was in bad luck after entering the new century. It seemed that no movie had achieved corresponding good results. Ryan couldn''t help frowning, "The 9/11 incident? Could it be that he wanted to adapt the movie?"


    "Ok."


    Seeing his frowning brow, Charlize nodded seriously, "Oliver Stone intends to wait for the release of "Alexander the Great" and adapt the collapse of the World Trade Center into a movie." (To be continued...)()

 Chapter 640： Respective business

    "You promised him?"


    Hearing Ryan''s question, Charlize shook his head directly, "No, I refused."


    She went on to say, "I think 9/11 is a scar that will never be erased in the United States. We should choose to forget, instead of revealing it **** again and presenting the pain to everyone."


    "Dear¡­¡­"


    Pulling Charlize''s hand, Ryan gently kissed the back of his hand, "You are getting smarter."


    "so¡­¡­"


    The golden eyebrows were raised high, and Charlize stared and said, "Do you think I was an idiot before?"


    "How come." Ryan said without even thinking about it, "I think you are the smartest person in Africa."


    "It''s pretty much the same."


    She shrugged gracefully, as happy as the African grassland welcoming the rain brought by the monsoon, but asked with a little doubt, "In that case, why did Oliver Stone choose such a strongly controversial subject?" "


    "My dear, don''t you forget that this is his usual style." Ryan made a reminder gesture to Charlize, "From "Assassination of Kennedy" to "Born Murderer," his movies caused less controversy every time. ?"


    "It seems..." Charlize thought back for a while, "It''s true."


    "Only when there is controversy can there be topics, and only when there are topics can attract people''s attention."


    Having been in Hollywood for so many years, Ryan knows that there are such a group of people who like to use controversial themes, "but sometimes controversy can make a movie, sometimes it can also ruin a movie."


    "What about... "Alexander the Great"?" Charlize asked after looking around.


    "I didn''t participate in the Warner Bros. preview meeting, and I don''t know the specific content, but..." Ryan said in a voice that only they could hear, "If such an epic masterpiece introduces some controversial plots, even These plots are too sensitive or vivid words. The movie..."


    Having said that, he shook his head.


    Plots such as sex, love, motherhood, and bisexuality are almost death-seeking in this era. This is not a niche literary film, but a commercial film aimed at the mainstream market. It also has rhythm and narrative techniques. The film in the previous life All have serious problems.


    If this movie in this life is like that in the previous life, the fiasco of the box office reputation is the inevitable result.


    Will there be a change in Oliver Stone''s shooting style? There is no need to think about the answer at all, certainly not.


    And Warner Bros. adjusted the film from the highly competitive December schedule to October, which is relatively less stressful. It also shows that there is not enough confidence in the film inside.


    At the end of the party, Ryan bid farewell to the organizer. On the way out of the banquet hall, he also met the two leading actors in "Alexander the Great".


    "I have been looking forward to working with Disney."


    Angelina Jolie held her new party Kimmer and said to Ryan, "Ryan, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity."


    "You''re welcome." Ryan nodded to her, "We still have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."


    "Smiths" is still in preparation, and it is not far from starting. At that time, some interesting things may happen, Fang Kimo and Brad Pitt¡¯s female companions will change, right?


    Although the perception of Angelina Jolie is not very good, as long as she can create value for herself, Ryan doesn''t mind Disney cooperating with her.


    There is another party? Kimmer. The former Batman was once the first candidate for Tony Stark by surprise. Later, under Ryan''s intervention, he was replaced by Robert Downey Jr.


    With just a few simple words, Ryan took Charlize and left the banquet hall. Take the elevator back to the private room on the top floor of the hotel.


    "Feeling a bit tired."


    Charlize kicked off his high heels and sat down on the sofa directly, after Ryan hung his coat on the hanger. Asked, "Honey, do you want something to drink?"


    "No need." Charlize shook her head, lazily like a Persian cat. She stretched out her arms to Ryan, "Will you take me back to my room and rest?"


    "Happy to help"


    Striding over, Ryan hugged this beautiful diamond. After entering the bedroom, he put her on the soft goose down quilt, "I''ll take a bath first..."


    "Don''t..." After Charlize interrupted, he hugged his waist, "Lie down here with me, okay?"


    "of course."


    Ryan kicked off his shoes and took Charlize, who was still wearing a red evening dress, into his arms, "Well, I will take a shower when you fall asleep."


    "Ryan..." Charlize suddenly raised his head and looked at him, biting his lips lightly to speak and then stopped. Ryan couldn''t help kissing her smooth white forehead and asked, "What''s the matter? Just say it. , Charlie."


    "I want to shift the focus of my career to fashion in the future." Charlize seemed determined.


    "You know, Charlie." Ryan raised her face and said seriously, "No matter what decision it is, I will support you."


    "Really?" Charlize rolled over and rode on his lap, with his hips spotted, and while slowly squeezing, he said in a joking tone, "What if I want to leave you?"


    Ryan knew this was just a joke, and deliberately pulled down his face, "I will tie you up and torture you with the cruelest punishment!"


    "Oh, what is the punishment?" Charlize''s hand reached under the red evening dress, the smile on his face gradually turned into excitement, "Honey, tell me quickly, how are you going to torture me..."


    At this moment, no words can be more direct and powerful than actions. Ryan rolled over and pressed her underneath. In just a few pulls, a luxurious Dior evening dress became a rag on the carpet. In the film, Charlize called out excitedly to welcome the long-awaited punishment.


    In the following days, Ryan accompanied Charlize to the catwalks of other brands and some well-known designers, and then returned to Los Angeles. The South African Diamond stayed in New York, where Ryan organized a business team specially for her. With assistance, continue to run for his own fashion career.


    Regardless of their past or present lives, they are all outstanding women. Ryan has never let them become his own vassal. For the business they want to develop, they all support them, and even Nicole has long been one of the richest women in the United States. .


    Nicole is different from Charlize in that she prefers Hollywood''s glamorous and luxurious life. While continuing to star in movies, she has also gradually transformed into a producer. In the past few years, she has also invested in several movies that she is optimistic about. Unfortunately, her vision can only be Generally speaking, although I didn''t lose much money, I basically didn''t make any money.


    Her latest investment is "Paddington Bear" in collaboration with Miramax. This film has completed most of the post-production, and the only work still in progress is to commission Pixar Studios to deal with the bear''s hair. The problem is that Pixar has an absolute advantage in this regard in Hollywood as a whole.


    Some time ago, I didn¡¯t know if it was luck or the character that Nicole had accumulated for a long time finally broke out. She actually saw the graphic novel "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" and personally convinced her that she did not want to visualize the work. The original author of the processing, Frank Miller, obtained the film adaptation rights for this work.


    In fact, to put it bluntly, all this is just a matter of money.


    Just like in a previous life, a certain director borrowed so much creativity from him and made a dark version of Batman. Frank Miller did not stand up and say anything, but instead sang praises for the movie. It was not Warner who paid enough. Cost?


    In terms of comics, Frank Miller is indeed a genius. He has worked for Marvel comics and comics, and has participated in the creation of works such as Spider-Man, Daredevil, Black Widow, Wolverine, Superman, and Batman. He also created works. Works like "Sin City" and "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" were published.


    "Dear¡­¡­"


    Sitting under the palm trees in the garden, Ryan looked at the graphic novel while curiously asking Nicole, "How do you like this work?"


    "When I went to see Harvey some time ago."


    Nicole put a cup of black tea on the table in front of Ryan, "When he said that Miramax was making "Sin City", I specifically looked for Frank Miller''s work and looked at it, and then I felt this The graphic novel is not bad, so I bought the film rights."


    "Have you figured out how to make it?" Ryan put down the cartoon and said seriously.


    This movie is a film with a strong personal style. If it is filmed in a normal way, in the current environment where epic movies have been subjected to cold reception, the possibility of failure far exceeds success.


    "Try to restore the original styleNicole is obviously well thought out," it''s like "Sin City" being made. "


    "I also considered..." Nicole was holding the black tea, and her brows were tightly twisted together. "Harvey said Frank Miller will be the director of one of the stories in "Sin City". I think if he can, let him I directed this film."


    The original author is definitely the person who knows his own work best, but a genius cartoonist is not necessarily an excellent director. Ryan thought for a while, "My dear, if you don''t mind, I can recommend a director for you."


    "Please say it." Nicole drank the lipstick tea and said with a smile, "If it fits, I will pay you one hundred dollars as a recommendation."


    "Look at the remake of "Dawn of the Living Dead" in the past year?" Can Ryan remember the director, not only the relationship with this strong personal style film, but also the other party who later became the director of the Justice League series. "The film''s The director is called Zach Schneider, a newcomer, but he handles colors very well."


    "Okay." Nicole put aside the joking tone and nodded seriously, "Although I haven''t watched a movie, the person you recommend must be unique if you want to come. I will let someone contact him as soon as possible." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 641： I love this 1 line

    "The latest news from the TV station. The political thriller Argo, written and played by Ryan Jenkins and directed by George Clooney, has exposed a new poster today, featuring a close-up of Ryan''s frowning face. The poster also says- ¡ªThe movie is fake, and the action is real ¡ª after the trial meeting was held not long ago, the film was well received by the participants, and it was even considered by many media to be a hot spot to compete for Oscars."


    After entering mid-September, the publicity of "Argo" has reached the final stage. Although due to the limited publicity budget, the major media under Disney and the online media that Ryan shares can still see this film everywhere. News and advertising.


    "Adapted from real historical events, "Argo"-a lie and an incredible plan!"


    "A great rescue, an incredible journey, "Argo" will be released on October 15th!"


    Signage posters, entertainment lace, online advertisements, viral videos, like past movies, Ryan has never been ambiguous in film promotion. The last period of time before the release of "Argo" is definitely the most critical stage of promotion.


    Although he rarely goes to battle now, George Clooney took Robert Downey Jr., Alan Arkin, John Goodman and others to and fro between various announcements, even the archetype Antonio Mend. I went into battle personally.


    Ryan fulfilled his promise to him. Just before the movie was about to be released, his memoir of the same name "Argo" was officially published, and entered the physical and e-book markets at the same time, although the sales volume was super hot this year. "The Hunger Games" and "The Da Vinci Code" are incomparable, but they have also triggered a wave of panic buying. After all, it records many confidential events that the CIA has not known to the public even after decryption.


    The small craze triggered by the memoirs has also increased the public''s expectations for the film.


    The entire publicity plan of the film is in charge of a professional team. Still proceed in an orderly manner.


    ""Argo" again exposed character posters, and the three giants crossed the ocean to save the hostages."


    "Los Angeles Times reported that Ryan''s new film "Argo" revealed three character posters today."


    "The three posters not only exposed the shapes of the three protagonists Ryan Jenkins, John Goodman, and Alan Arkin, but the three posters are more logically related."


    "From the "Our purpose is just to make a movie" on the first poster, to "The movie is just a cover" on the second poster, to the "Hollywood film provides a storyline" on the third poster, which contains a The big plan''. The three giants¡¯ deliberate and meticulous rescue plans are unveiled, and a high-intellectual businessman¡¯s quality rescue operation is ready to take place."


    The investment in this movie itself is limited, and it is impossible to achieve the overwhelming propaganda bombing like the "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" series. All the plans are extremely targeted. Especially the trailer was not released until the end of September.


    "The trailer for "Argo" is first exposed, and Ryan''s new work focuses on CIA secret incidents!"


    "Yahoo Entertainment News, Ryan''s self-written and self-acted political thriller "Argo" today exposed the first trailer. The political thriller mode need not be mentioned, regardless of the retro character styling, the graininess of the screen and the famous rock band" The music for the occasion brought us into the background of the story of the 1970s..."


    After the trailer is released, whether it is on the ¡®¡¯ where the trailer is released. On the message board of Ryan''s official website, many people have expressed their expectations for the film.


    "A must-see!"


    "Extremely looking forward to it!"


    "It feels like a very good movie."


    "The movies written and acted by Ryan have always been synonymous with quality!"


    Taking advantage of the attention caused by the trailer, Disney added a fire to it, not only announcing that Antonio Mendez and a number of retired CIA officials will attend the premiere. Invitations were also sent to Ken Taylor and his wife and the then U.S. President Jimmy Carter.


    The former is the Canadian ambassador who took in six US embassy personnel, while the latter¡¯s failure to re-elect was inseparable from the Iranian hostage incident.


    Of course, the Ken Taylors readily accepted the invitation, and Jimmy Carter did not respond.


    "Countless movies are inspired by real events. This movie is actually what happened."


    Ryan also accepted an interview with his own media and talked about the film in front of the camera lens of the TV station, "If the story of "Argo" seems to be out of reality, the audience will not buy it. But the illusion of age is built for the audience , And for me, everything about "Argo" is only about how to tell a story..."


    He then praised the important role Canada played in the rescue incident in the interview. Anyway, such an unthinkable incident can only happen between the United States and Canada, even though the United States is portrayed in the movie. Heroes, Canadians actually played more roles in the incident. Saying a few words of praise for them is not a big deal, and it can also reduce some of the subsequent troubles.


    Subsequently, in accordance with the prior arrangement, the reporter raised some minor questions about the rescue incident, and Ryan responded accordingly.


    "The first Star Wars movie was born in 1977. It was a sensation. Movies, books, toys, and costumes were like a storm sweeping the entire United States. Internationally, it was also a big event. These mysterious science fiction movies were at the time. Everyone is making a movie with great interest, and for everyone in the world, this is like another revolution."


    "Those enthusiastic and determined Islamic revolutionary guards will also think about science fiction stories and let go of their guards. This is why I really fall in love with this story. Hollywood has always played an important role in our country and life. Role, isn''t it?"


    Finally, the reporter asked why he still has such a passion for filming when he has such a rich net worth.


    "Interests and hobbies, I like the feeling of playing in different roles." The rumors that he will quit the cast of actors have not been broken over the years, and Ryan also responded with this.


    "Of course there must be stories that I like. Sometimes I feel that I am too young to have enough experience. I have made some movies, and it may be okay, but after all, I still have a lot of things that I don¡¯t understand, nor Enough things to prove something, but I will wake up early in the morning and work intensely all day. I don''t know if I really have more talent than others, but I know I can work hard and work harder.


    "I have loved this line since I was sensible," he said.


    After the interview about Ryan was broadcast, it greatly increased the public''s expectations for this film. After all, he has brought too many wonderful works in the past.


    This kind of story exudes strong positive energy and trust in the country, and sings a clear CIA hymn, showing how the CIA agents cleverly set up scams, fight wits, and rescue hostages from crisis. Anyone who participated in the trial screening The mainstream media of the conference all sang praises to the movie.


    Contrary to the treatment of mainstream media and even emerging online media, Disney did not invite any professional film critics at all when it held the trial film, completely ignoring the industry.


    Although the veteran film critics who are accustomed to the past are very angry about this, they have to admit that after the confrontation between David Denby and Ryan, the influence of their group on the film industry is like sitting on it. Like a roller coaster, it went straight down.


    It is not only the younger and younger mainstream audience that ignores them, but also the major studios in Hollywood. The invisible benefits that they could enjoy in the past are hidden behind the curtain. Now they have almost completely disappeared, even many media. They are all judging that it won¡¯t take long for the profession of professional film critics to gradually collapse.


    Even if they are unwilling, they are powerless to change all of this.


    In the eyes of these people, Ryan, who holds massive media resources in their hands, is a direct inducement. What they most want to do is to take advantage of the failure of a certain movie of the other party to treat him while there is still such a little influence. Launched the most violent attack.


    So, they are waiting, waiting for this opportunity to appear.


    However, before the film critics waited for the release of Ryan''s film, they first ushered in a movie that surprised everyone in Hollywood, a super epic war masterpiece that was even more miserable than "King Arthur" in word-of-mouth and box office.


    Entering the first day of October, "Alexander the Great", which Warner Bros. spent US$155 million to produce and discarded US$60 million in promotional expenses, officially landed on the North American theaters just now for the "Wonder Woman" "The senior Warners who had held a celebration party almost vomited blood this time. They fully realized the miserable feelings of Sony Columbia Pictures on "King Arthur".


    On the first three days of the week, "Alexander the Great" won only $16.78 million at the box office in 3445 North American theaters!


    This is not a literary and cult niche film, but a super large production with a total investment of more than 200 million US dollars. Such an investment and the first week''s box office ratio almost indicate that this movie will definitely lose its money.


    The fact is exactly the same. In the second week, while keeping the number of theaters unchanged, the North American box office of "Alexander the Great" dropped directly to 6.18 million US dollars. "Argo" was released, so that the number of theaters in the third week of "Alexander the Great" quickly dropped to more than 2,100.


    As for the box office, as of October 15th, before the release of "Argo", "Alexander the Great" spent half a month in the North American market with a pitiful more than 31.1 million US dollars.


    Epic war films will inevitably fall into a trough. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 642： Rescue is imperative

    On October 15th, the premiere of "Argo" kicked off on time. For such a politically rich movie, the premiere will naturally not be selected in Los Angeles, but in the political center of the United States. Washington DC.


    Similarly, it is not only the media and Hollywood insiders who come to the premiere, but also many political celebrities. As Ryan said before, politics has never been far away from movies.


    The premiere is basically the same routine, red carpet, interviews, media group photos, etc., but when Antonio Mendez and he are both the retired spies¡¯ wife, they walked with the Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor and his wife who participated in the incident that year. On the red carpet, tonight''s premiere showed a different side.


    Regardless of what Antonio Mendez himself thinks, he has been shaped into a hero by the joint efforts of Disney and the CIA.


    In this land, the stories of heroes are often the most attractive works.


    As soon as he entered the theater, a large number of people surrounded Ryan. These politicians, either known or unfamiliar, greeted him and greeted him enthusiastically. In their eyes, Ryan is the owner of a large media group and the best in North America. One of the rich is naturally the goal he strives for.


    Ryan cleverly dealt with it and would never make any promises or promises.


    Speaking of it, people around him are more inclined to the Democratic Party, such as Scarlett Johansson. A few days ago, the little fat girl publicly expressed support for Kerry.


    After dealing with these flies-like politicians, Ryan couldn''t help rubbing his forehead and walked toward the screening hall.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    "Hi, Tony."


    Seeing Antonio Mendez who followed from behind, Ryan gave him a hug, "How does the red carpet feel?"


    "I haven''t enjoyed such enthusiastic applause in the past thirty years."


    After entering the theater, Antonio Mendez gestured and said, "Since you increased the publicity, my peaceful life has been completely broken, you know? Ryan, last weekend, we shared 600 people visited my house and in only 20 minutes they ate up the food we prepared for the weekend."


    "Enjoy all this, Tony!" Ryan patted his arm and walked to the front row.


    Since the "Argo" memoir was released, the peaceful life of the Mendez family has been completely broken. Disney''s limousine has taken the couple to Hollywood and New York many times. The promotion of the film has pushed them into the public eye. For these two former agents, this is a completely unfamiliar field, but it is a great opportunity to become famous.


    Most importantly, as an unnamed person who has worked on the secret front for a long time, Antonio Mendez enjoys these ¡®sweet troubles¡¯ very much now.


    Ryan did not sit in the middle of the crew, but sat with some of the film company executives participating in the premiere. As soon as he sat down, he heard the voice of Warner Bros'' Gerald talking to people.


    "Although we thought of the movie there are some problems..."


    After a few conversations between the two parties, Gerald mentioned the "Alexander the Great" which was still in theaters and actually only had more than one hundred thousand US dollars a day at the box office. One of the most failed works."


    Indeed, the previous "Batman and Robin" was miserable enough, but "Alexander the Great" had a higher investment, but its box office and reputation were worse.


    "It is no longer necessary to talk about why the movie is so bad. There is no coherent script, no spectacular scenes, and photography does not contribute to beautiful pictures. The most important thing is that the characters do not really show any characteristics, just like puppets in the drawing board. Generally ridiculous."


    This is a comment from fans that Ryan saw from the Internet a few days ago, which undoubtedly represents most of the audience''s views on this film.


    In any case, the vast majority of North American audiences directly put "Alexander the Great" into the ranks of bad movies.


    The impact of this film is huge. Many Hollywood film companies have cancelled their epic film plans. Even Twentieth Century Fox is worried about the unfinished "Kings of Heaven".


    After experiencing the unprecedented upsurge of war epic films, this theme inevitably encountered a trough.


    The lights in the theater went out row by row, and the big screen was illuminated by the picture. After the classic Disney title flashed, the buzzing voice disappeared without a trace, and "Argo" opened the curtain.


    "This is the Persian Empire. It is called Iran today. Starting 2500 years ago, one after another king ruled this land. The king was called the Shah. In 1950, the Iranian people elected Mohamed Mosadha-a Non-religious democrats-as prime minister, he nationalized the Iranian oil controlled by Britain and the United States and returned Iranian oil to the Iranian people..."


    "But in 1953, the United Kingdom and the United States arranged a coup d''etat, dismissed Moshadha, and arranged Reza Pahlavi to become Shah. This young Shah spent money like a lot of money, his wife bathed in milk, and His lunch was airlifted from Paris by Concorde, but the Iranian people were starving. Shah used a cruel internal police to maintain his power, and an era marked by torture and terror began."


    "Then he preached the westernization of Iran and angered those religious conservatives. In 1979, the Iranian people overthrew the Shah, and the exiled clergyman Ayatollah Said Ruhola Khomeini returned to rule Iran. Then this The country has gone through cleanups and death squads, and fell into chaos. The Shah, who was about to be killed by cancer, found political asylum in the United States. The Iranian people marched outside the embassy and demanded that the United States surrender the Shah. They will try him and hang him. ."


    With illustrations and video materials, the film quickly and concisely introduces the background of the story by means of narration.


    The fanatical Iranians launched a huge demonstration in front of the US Embassy. The continuous activities of many days and the indulgence hints of some people behind the scenes finally took place in a jaw-dropping scene in the history of international diplomacy.


    Those followers of Khomeini rushed into the U.S. Embassy.


    The beginning of the scene did not have Ryan''s participation. George Clooney, as he said at the beginning, the shots were full of the texture of the 70s and 80s. He deliberately chose the old 35mm film camera to shoot the entire scene, even during the shooting. When the crowd was marching, I found the old super 8mm camera used in the 70s news video recording, and used this kind of antique equipment that has been rarely used for a long time, and completed the shooting of most of the close-up parts of the people.


    The Iranians rushed into the embassy, ??but the Americans could not wait for any support from the Iranian government. In desperation, they could only prepare for the worst and start destroying the secret information in the embassy.


    Like the embassies of all countries in the world, there is always something ugly in these places.


    For the sake of life safety, the limited number of American soldiers did not shoot to resist, but only fired a limited amount of tear gas. The call and connection between the U.S. State Department and the embassy have been ongoing, but they are helpless in this situation. Many U.S. embassy personnel can only Become a hostage in the hands of Iranians.


    At this moment of crisis, the six Americans in charge of the visa hall luckily escaped from the back door of the embassy. The movie also slightly showed Great Americanism, such as letting Iranians waiting for visas to flee first, and they were behind...


    Although some people were taken in by embassies of other countries during the escape, the theme of the movie was not in this aspect. At this time, they were simplified. They fled into the Canadian embassy and were taken in by Ken Taylor, then Canadian ambassador. .


    Ryan¡¯s script did not mention the problems of the United Kingdom and New Zealand. They are all members of the Five Friends in the English-speaking area. There is no need to discredit the other party in such vague incidents. The province will invite British and New Zealand parties in the future. protest.


    As for the Iranians, who cares about them.


    In other words, they are the black ones. After all, Iran is one of the world''s evil sources in the eyes of most Americans.


    Therefore, what is shown in the movie is almost a fanatical country where everyone is a terrorist.


    When Tony Mendez single-handedly entered such a dangerous country, he just borrowed this atmosphere to show his heroic temperament.


    After the incident, the US State Department and Washington authorities also came up with a series of measures, but there was no good way. 69 days later, yellow ribbons and blessing slogans were everywhere in Washington, but there was no progress in the rescue of the hostages.


    Of course, it is absolutely impossible to release the Shah in exchange for hostages. The puppets that the United States has cultivated all over the world are not just this one. If he abandons him, what will those little brothers think?


    Compared with those who were taken hostage in the embassy, ??the six people who escaped are the real headache for the US government. Once they are caught, they are most likely to face the Iranian gallows.


    Since it is a standard main theme movie, it must be shown that the US government will never give up these six people, and will do everything possible to rescue them from Iran, and the heroes have reached the time to appear.


    Tony Mendez, played by Ryan, dressed up as a typical American in the 70s.


    He rushed to the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency Whether it was the yellow ribbons flying by the roadside, the shouts of angry people on the radio, or the slogans in the lobby of the headquarters to commemorate the people who died for the country. The theme of patriotism is being promoted.


    The rescue fell on the head of the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency, and they faced huge problems.


    The Canadian side believed that the risk was too high and notified the U.S. authorities to quickly pick up the six people. Khomeini¡¯s Islamic Guard assembled a large number of child laborers to splice images of U.S. embassy personnel shredded by shredders...


    Everything shows that rescue is imperative.


    At a joint meeting with officials from the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency, a rescue plan full of fantasy was ruthlessly shattered by Tony, a rescue expert, with reality. All the pig teammates were setting off the image of the protagonist, but Tony Can not find a suitable plan for the time being.


    Like all American heroes, Tony also faces some family problems. Although this is vulgar, it is the most popular plot for North American audiences.


    During the phone call with his son, Tony was prompted and saw the "Battle of the Apes" broadcast by the TV station...r1152()

 Chapter 643： Best bad plan

    Limited by the main theme of the theme, it is unavoidable to''reveal'' the ending of the film in advance, but "Argo" cleverly avoids the mystery of''whether it can be rescued successfully'', and instead spends its pen and ink on''how to rescue''. Success'' on.


    The rescue plan has naturally become the core of the entire film. The idea of ??posing as a film crew is very entertaining. The film¡¯s grafting politics and personal heroism are reflected in the brilliance. Here, even the fake film is also tied to life. The equal sign.


    Every audience knows that this task will be completed from the beginning, but still looks forward to seeing how it is completed.


    "Have you seen science fiction movies? For example, "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" movies that need to find exotic places to shoot, such as places like the desert."


    Tony Mendes stood in the conference room and talked to a group of bureaucrats, "Imagine that they are a Canadian film crew to investigate the location of a sci-fi movie, we go to spread the news, and Canadian producers go too. The news was distributed that the crew was visiting Egypt and Istanbul, and then the crew went to the Iranian consulate and said,''We still want to go to Iran to investigate''..."


    "I flew to Tehran, then took them, and flew back together disguised as a film crew. The mission is complete!"


    Such an incredible rescue plan naturally met with strong opposition, but Tony temporarily persuaded these bureaucrats to go to Los Angeles to find his friend, John Chambers, who has a cooperative relationship with the CIA, a top Hollywood makeup artist who won an Oscar. .


    Among them, the movie is also interspersed with the Iranian enthusiasm and the anxiety of six Americans to highlight the urgency of the rescue operation.


    Now that I have come to Hollywood, the world''s largest film industry base, according to the usual practice, it is natural for film practitioners to laugh at themselves.


    For example, when Tony said that this operation was to rescue a group of people from the most terrible place in the world, John Chambers replied-Is that place a Disney studio?


    As a professional, John Chambers solemnly told Tony that if this plan is to succeed, it must treat fake movies as real movies. They needed a well-known producer to run the project to create a greater sensation, so the outdated former well-known producer Liszt joined the ranks, and the rescue giants in the propaganda gathered together.


    Liszt is a master of film manipulation. They not only established the sixth studio, bought the movie script of "Argo" with a lot of money, held a grand press conference at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, and also "Variety", "Vanity Fair" and "Hollywood". A large number of advertisements were posted on the media of Report.


    Posters, shot illustrations... In short, everything that a movie should have, this fake movie is all in place.


    No matter how you look at it, this is preparing a real movie.


    In this way, the media, producers, actors, screenwriters, and even film companies all participated in this rescue operation, but 99% of the participants at the time were unaware.


    I really responded to a sentence-a secret without a secret is the greatest secret.


    This episode. The film uses a rhythm that is easy enough and freehand. From time to time, Liszt and John Chambers will intersperse a few words of Hollywood self-deprecating cold humor. However, the situation in Iran that often appears through the screens of TV dramas constantly reminds the audience that this time Behind the seemingly nonsense fake movie. It is about human life.


    "Go to your Argo!"


    After the giant toast, Tony, with the help of his boss played by George Clooney, persuaded the bureaucrats to move around in Istanbul and start implementing this ¡®best bad plan¡¯!


    Canada has played an important role in this. They have provided a series of assistance such as blank Canadian passports to the CIA. This is a weird relationship. It can only happen between the United States and Canada, which are collectively referred to as North America.


    Before Tony entered Iran, the Times reporter obtained a list of embassy personnel and found that six of them had escaped from the embassy and hid in the Canadian embassy. The CIA could only do its best to temporarily suppress this matter. Tony¡¯s Rescue operations must be accelerated.


    Everything. All are highlighting the urgency and urgency of Tony''s rescue!


    Tony finally entered Iran. From the moment he walked into Tehran Airport, the film used various plots to exaggerate the country¡¯s current terrifying and terrifying atmosphere...


    At the residence of the Canadian ambassador, Tony met the person he was trying to rescue.


    After a brief opening statement, Tony introduced the rescue plan. They also handed out the business cards of the "Sixth Studio" to 6 people, which printed their "posts" in the company.


    The 6 people also got ¡°Hollywood-like¡± clothes, fake Canadian passports, and fabricated resumes from Tony Mendez. Tony asked them to memorize their resumes and sent them the maple leaf mark. Stick on suitcases and backpacks.


    During the period, whether it was Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor¡¯s Iranian butler who discovered the true identities of the six people, or the Canadian government¡¯s plan to close the embassy in Iran, it was aggravating the urgency of rescue and the resulting tension.


    In the face of desperation, people often explode with great potential. With the assistance of Tony, they passed some tests deliberately set by the Iranian authorities, especially the Iranian housekeeper of Ken Taylor. Faced with the inquiries of the Islamic Guard, they made a right. The Americans have a favorable answer.


    Facts have also proved that treating hired servants well and improving their treatment from time to time is definitely not a bad thing.


    In the following time, in addition to reciting fake resumes, the 6 people also simulated various sharp questions raised by Tony. Everyone knew that this escape plan was extremely dangerous.


    "Once they are seen through, they may be cut off or dragged by a jeep." This is the best portrayal of their situation.


    In order to relieve the tension, Tony Mendez tried to turn the preparation process into a game to let everyone relax and enjoy the process. Although this sounds incredible, interest is easier to divert people''s attention than fear.


    On the other hand, the Iranians also discovered that six people had escaped from the embassy, ??which increased the number of people who pieced together the broken images, and continued to test Tony and his party...


    In the frequent switching of the screen, Tony received very frustrated news, and the pig teammates appeared again.


    The president listened to the chief of staff''s suggestion and suddenly stopped the operation. The superiors asked Tony to give up the six people and leave Tehran by plane alone. He was caught in a dilemma.


    However, the reason why heroes become heroes is that they make choices that ordinary people don¡¯t dare. After some struggle, Tony informs his boss Jack O¡¯Donnell through a secret phone call that he wants to take them out of this terrifying country. And ask the other party to help with various procedures.


    Because if you don''t do this, only one of those six people will die!


    At this time, Liszt and John Chambers, who are stationed at the Sixth Studio, have been notified of the suspension of the plan and left the office, while Jack is busy, opening up all the joints. Fortunately, they are the most famous spies in the world. One of the intelligence organizations.


    As the protagonist of the movie, Tony Mendez is like every Hollywood classic hero who walks alone into the unknown world, completing impossible tasks, even the most critical moments, and challenging the existing ones with lofty personal values. System rules, become the real savior.


    At ten in the morning, Tony Mendez and his entourage took a car to Tehran Airport and took a 7 o''clock flight to Zurich, Switzerland. The reason why they chose such an early flight was because Tony believed that the customs officers at the airport were still sleepy and would not treat them. take care.


    Although it took some twists and turns to take...


    When it came to the ticket, Iranian customs officers also conducted an investigation, but the group responded calmly, and the customs officers eventually stamped the fake passports and visas.


    Although the boarding process is relatively smooth in real history, the movie cannot behave like this. To attract the audience, it must be suspenseful and entertaining.


    As a result, they were stopped by the Islamic Guard and taken to a closed office nearby.


    In the face of these guys who can¡¯t speak English, Tony has no good way. It is Robert Downey Jr. played by the embassy official who can speak Persian. He compares the storyboard of the movie and tells the vivid picture of "Argo". Science fiction story, it is this story that impressed those young people full of revolutionary enthusiasm.


    The leading one received Tony¡¯s business card and dialed the number of Studio No. 6, when the bell rang to the end, Liszt and John Burns, who rushed back to the office, picked up the call. They Passed the test smoothly.


    Finally, Tony boarded the plane with six people. A very rare accident happened. The passenger plane had a mechanical failure and had to delay takeoff.


    The six people were divided into two rows of seats, and their eyes fell on Tony at the same time. This unreliable plan is about to succeed but...


    Flying is life, staying is death, the boundary between life and death is within easy reach,


    After a brief period of chaos, the cabin became extremely quiet under the explanation of the flight attendants. The silence was even a little scary. Six people clenched their fists, or grabbed the corners of their clothes, or prayed in secret, if they looked closer. , They are trembling.


    From time to time, they would look up at the electric meter at the door of the cabin. Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, and twenty minutes passed, as if a century has not been as long as it is now.


    Similarly, Tony is also very nervous, and no one can remain calm at this moment, not to mention that there are still wives and children waiting for him at home!


    When looking out the window, his indifferent face will reveal a slight anxiety, but when he turns around, he regained his calm and restful state.


    He knows that he is the backbone of the six people. If he can''t maintain stability, what will the six people do?


    Under the double attack of fear and hope, some people may just collapse! ()

 Chapter 644： Consider the problem from the perspective of Iran?

    It''s been nearly half an hour since the time the plane was supposed to take off. The passenger plane didn''t have any intention to take off. Even if it was like Tony, his hands shook slightly subconsciously, but he still kept his face steady, turning his head to the back from time to time. The people nodded slightly, motioning them to stay calm. Come to Lewen if you like to play or watch. lw0.


    This state has lasted for too long. If it continues, even Tony can''t guarantee that the six people who have been scared for so many days will make unexpected moves.


    But he still tried his best to inspire their confidence through various small actions. He promised to take them out, and he would do his best to accompany them to the end, even if...


    At the critical moment, there was good news from the broadcast-the plane was only a minor malfunction, and it is now successfully resolved and it will take off soon.


    The six people took a long breath and lay on their backs. Tony also breathed out a little, but there was no relaxation. As long as the plane did not leave Iran, any accident could happen.


    The screen shifted to the airport control tower. The Swiss flight was scheduled to take off in the second place. In a short time, Tony and his team would leave the cage-like country and fly into the sky of freedom.


    Things can never go smoothly, even if the real event goes smoothly, the film will make the process full of twists and turns and dangers.


    The Iranians spelled out an image of Robert Downey Jr.''s head. They immediately discovered the true identity of the pedestrian and rushed to the Canadian Embassy at the fastest speed, only to find that the building was empty.


    Not only are their goals gone. The Canadian ambassador and his party also disappeared, leaving them only garbage on the floor.


    Don''t think about it. The leader of the Islamic Guard could also guess that they went to the airport. When I wanted to make a call, I found that the phone of the embassy had been damaged. I had to look around. After wasting a terrible time, I finally dialed the phone of the Islamic Guard stationed at the airport.


    The soldiers in the airport duty room rushed to report. The boss who had verified the identity of Tony and others was furious with chagrin. However, his subordinates told him that the plane had not yet taken off due to a malfunction. He immediately called to inform the control tower, but found that the call could not be reached.


    The Islamic Guard is divided into two ways. All the way to the control tower, the other way to the passenger plane that had already entered the runway.


    Tony seemed to feel something. Looking out the window, he could only see the wide wings and the runway moving backwards. Apart from that, he could not see anything else...


    Hmm...There is also the blue sky outside the high-speed rail fence of the airport. The sun slowly climbed out of the dark cloud cover, and the sun shined through. The light is extremely dazzling.


    The plane was moving, about to rush into the sky, the six people behind held their breath, and the long-awaited freedom was beckoning to them.


    The picture stretches into the distance. In the panoramic picture of the runway, the off-road jeep of the Islamic Guard is running wildly on the runway, but the speed of the car can not catch up with the speed of the plane when the plane takes off. They are like fools running after the sun, watching The Boeing airliner rushed into the sky.


    what? Shoot or shoot an rpg?


    Before the movie, it was explained that most of the Islamic Guard members who follow Khomeini have a background of higher education. If you really destroy an aircraft that belongs to Switzerland or is full of international passengers, what will be the consequences? ?


    I''m afraid the federal government most wants to see this scene.


    "The wheel is off the ground!"


    Many people in the CIA are waiting anxiously.


    On the plane, the flight attendant''s announcement finally sounded, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have left Iranian airspace and can now drink alcoholic beverages."


    The six people hugged each other, and their faces were full of joy from the rest of their lives. Even Tony, who had always been calm, showed a faint smile after going through such a tortuous process.


    The staff of the CIA were celebrating. When Liszt and John Burns exulted and yelled "Rescue them", the audience who had been suppressed by the tension for a long time finally broke out.


    When the trapped people cried with joy when they were saved on the plane, their thrilling appeal transcended the difference between the screen and reality, and moved all the audience.


    There was warm applause from the audience, and the applause lasted for a long time. Their passion also vented heartily with the celebration of the movie characters.


    The agents in the film can¡¯t fly, don¡¯t have clever skills, and don¡¯t know how to explode. They look like ordinary people, but they are ordinary characters like their own neighbors, like passersby, but they are more substituting Sense, they accompanied Tony Mendez, experienced a movie in a movie, experienced an incredible rescue, experienced an ups and downs and exciting journey.


    The movie is not over yet, and most of the people who participated in the action gave a good explanation.


    For example, the Iranian housekeeper successfully entered Iraq through the border checkpoint and escaped from Iran; for example, Ken Taylor, all the credit goes to him and the Canadian government, and he won a special award from the federal government; Those six people also received their own honors.


    In order not to affect the hostages in the embassy, ??the CIA could only seal the matter. Tony Mendez received the highest "Intelligence Star" award from the intelligence agency, but he could not even notify his family, and he had to return it immediately after the issue. Going back, only by the day when the incident is deciphered, can you truly get your honor back.


    Fortunately, he just waited for more than ten years and didn''t wait until he died.


    Of course the hero must have his own destination, so in the end he returned home, kissed his wife, and hugged his son, as if these were all that belonged to him...


    The picture was finally fixed on an illustration of "Argo", and this rescue movie came to an end.


    There was enthusiastic applause in the theater again. Although the ending of the movie was as expected and the rescue was a result they had known for a long time, the ups and downs and the tense atmosphere in it were rendered through continuous spreading, which was not impressive. The opportunity to relax, in one go, finally reached a climax.


    "Congratulations, Ryan."


    The applause gradually faded, and Gerald first offered his congratulations, and then more people gathered around.


    George Clooney became another focus of attention in the audience. Quite a few people gathered around this newcomer in the director''s circle, and there were also many praises.


    After the film, there is an indispensable press conference.


    "Although the film is only a restoration of a hostage-saving event, the''reappearance'' is its value."


    Facing reporters¡¯ inquiries on the subject of the movie, Ryan spoke to the microphone, ¡°because it faithfully reflects that chaotic era and an unthinkable Middle Eastern past, the violent and crazy Islamic revolution, the hysterical Islamic Guard, and the helpless White House. , And the whimsical CIA, and Hollywood, which lends a helping hand at critical moments!"


    In fact, having said that, this is a typical refraction of American values.


    The heroic action of the best Hollywood filmmakers has made this "movie in the movie". The hero''s courage and responsibility make him a savior-like hero, and the courage of his boss makes this "the best bad idea" at a critical moment. Turning into a successful reality, these factors combine to produce a wonderful chemical reaction, which will make people feel an inspiring positive energy.


    The White House made decisive and swift decisions at critical moments. The CIA was not as cold as it might have been. Hollywood was not as utilitarian as expected. Although the background of the movie was dark and depressing, it made people¡¯s hearts full of warmth. The lives of six citizens were so important. , To a certain extent, it can be regarded as shaping a good national image for the old beauty.


    Of course, this is the content of the movie. As for the real situation, who cares?


    As long as North American audiences like it, as long as Americans are willing to pay for tickets, Hollywood will make this kind of movie that meets the mainstream taste of the market.


    Afterwards, Ryan regained his silence. With his current status, he does not need to show the limelight on such occasions. Instead, George Clooney and a group of actors need to face the media to promote themselves and increase the chances of exposure.


    However, a question from a reporter who obviously had a Middle Eastern appearance caused laughter and countless scornful eyes from the audience.


    He asked George Clooney, "Since it is a documentary film, why did "Argo" not consider Iran''s position and interpret the Iranian hostage incident from a relatively fair perspective?"


    Such a question is really funny, and neither George Clooney nor the other cast and crew members have any intention to answer.


    Ryan couldn''t help looking at the reporter who was obviously a newcomer and probably believed in Islam. He obviously forgot that the place he was standing was North America, the United States of America.


    A typical American film with the main theme will consider the feelings of Iranians, and will it consider issues from the standpoint of Iranians?


    Don''t forget The Iranian nuclear issue has always existed. In the eyes of Americans, it belongs to the category of evil countries, just like North Korea.


    In fact, in Hollywood movies, Middle Eastern movies have long formed an inherent mechanism. The work must use the aesthetic taste and taste of mainstream American society as the only mechanism, and must conform to the unique "Middle East theme" in the national context, and conform to the federal The''image of the Middle East'' created by the government and the media must also conform to the world outlook and values ??in the minds of the American people.


    The people in Hollywood are not fools, and Ryan is not even worse. Even if his head is flooded, he will not invest tens of millions of dollars to make a film that reflects the Iranian standing on the right position, not to mention the investment of tens of millions After all, after such a movie is released, it will definitely cause an uproar in the public opinion.


    This is funny in itself. After all, Hollywood is the Hollywood of the United States. How can it consider issues from the standpoint of other countries? Even if this happens occasionally, what is hidden behind it is still indelible Great Americanism. .


    As for "Argo", what kind of voice will be made in Iran after the release of "Argo", does it matter to him?


    Even if the Iranian government sued him to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Ryan would not care. (To be continued. (lw0.))()

 Chapter 645： A movie with a bright political color

    In 1979, Iran established the Islamic State. In 1980, the United States and Iran broke off diplomatic relations. Iran refused to give in to Western countries headed by the United States. Iran became an evil country and a hostile country in the eyes of the U.S. government and the media. The U.S. public has never had a good view of this country. .


    Although there are many slanders, the Iranians are able to imprison a country''s embassy personnel as hostages, and this gives the US media a sufficient reason to discredit them.


    In recent years, the Iranian nuclear issue has been the core issue of US-Iran relations, and has become a potential fuse for the US-Iran war and an excuse for the United States to take war actions against Iran.


    In short, in the propaganda of mainstream American society, Iran is a completely evil country.


    The perspective of "Argo" may seem fair at first. In fact, Ryan wrote a script that the US position is far clearer than in the previous life. It is completely overlooking Iran from the perspective of the US CIA staff, and it is depicted through multiple side plots. Crazy, lost wolves, a terrifying country.


    If you look into the inner spiritual value of the movie, Ryan and George Clooney both deliberately favor each other, thus creating an illusion for fans to watch the movie-Iran is a terrorist country, and only by fleeing Tehran can there be peace. Possible.


    This is a standard American-style movie with the main theme, even better than "Captain America". It is in line with the public opinion and political correctness is the most basic premise.


    Now that the American society has identified Iran as an evil country, whether it is for public opinion or for the box office, this politically-colored movie will portray Iran as a big villain and villain.


    Speaking of which, political films are not original Hollywood, they were first popular in European film circles, with clear political views. But when political films entered Hollywood. Soon it was wrapped in a commercial coat. Hollywood has always had a tradition of shooting political films, and political films with different themes and styles have always been popular with audiences.


    As a film with a strong political color, the themes and views reflected in "Argo" will definitely be welcomed by the mainstream society, and a large number of mainstream media will inevitably applaud it.


    "In terms of genre, "Argo" is naturally classified as a political thriller, but judging from the feedback from the premiere, the film''s success lies in its successful combination of life-and-death drama and witty comedy. The seriousness of the film is inevitable. After all, it involves American sensitive Iran, hostages, anti-terrorism and many other hot spots. This can be called the most bizarre action in the history of the CIA!"


    "The documentary style presented in the film, combined with the interspersed historical pictures, makes people feel like they are back on the scene; coupled with the progressive plot and appropriate soundtrack, the atmosphere is just right, and the agents return to their professions in reality and no longer play. Cool, handsome and skilled, but an ordinary person who is also burdened with all the puzzles in life; the film has no blasting speed car, no bullets flying, but it always affects people''s nerves. Even the final stage of escape can easily make people heartbeat. accelerate!"


    -"Los Angeles Times"


    The media''s favorable comments on this film occupies the absolute mainstream.


    "The Hollywood Reporter" commented, ""Argo" is a wonderful political thriller. The film¡¯s narration is full of wisdom. It also has rich chronological details. What¡¯s even more surprising is that in such a film it tells about Iran. In serious movies of hostage crisis, there are even a lot of humorous elements that make people smile."


    "Entertainment Weekly" commented that. "Argo" is not a typical entertainment movie, but its main shock is that it captures some ominous signs of our current world."


    Although Disney did not invite professional film critics to participate in the screening, it caused dissatisfaction with the group. But after the movie was released, they still bought tickets and entered the theater. The reason is simple. This is the latest masterpiece of someone who has a terrifying influence in North America and the world. If they don¡¯t even comment on this mainstream movie, the status It can only be more marginalized.


    Moreover, they did not expect to have a big problem in the movie, and then the idea of ??attacking them in groups.


    However, after watching the movie, these people who were used to pointing fingers at the movie and the audience found that they were unable to act according to their wishes, because the political stance of this movie is so clear, and the themes and values ??that it reflects are so. Correct...


    "Argo" is a successful work. It has tension, sincere emotion, mystery, artistic responsibility, entertainment value and professional skills. It tells a real historical event with the least frills and the greatest impact. It is a A great historical footnote. It is one of the best films of 2004 and is definitely a strong contender for the major awards of Oscar night next year."


    The film critic Rex Reid from the "New York Observer" directly gave the film a perfect score of 10. His other colleague in New York, the film critic Lu Ramnick of the "New York Post" also gave the film a very good score. And wrote in the column.


    "An absolutely reliable Oscar contender, but also an active and exciting movie. The "Escape from Tehran" jointly created by Ryan and George Clooney shows us a lot more than what you have in Iran. Under the cruel background of the hostage crisis, those nerve-racking and exciting plots and many interesting scenes can be imagined."


    And as one of Disney¡¯s rare film critics who still secretly support, Claudia Pugle, who has only risen in recent years, did not hesitate to highlight the film. "An extraordinary production and interesting darkness Real political thrillers, the ending part is shocking, the return of the self-improvement spirit that the film transmits is what the United States urgently needs today, and Ryan''s performance in it is perfect. George Clooney did a good job. He Filmed an excellent, blood-spraying thriller, leaving the audience with endless cheers."


    Although the industry of film critics is getting more and more declining, they are not fools and know how to deal with movies of this subject matter.


    "The film demonstrates rare choreography skills. It is easy to produce a thriller with car chase and gunfight, but it is even more difficult to control the rhythm and convince the audience of the successful implementation of this easily debunked scam. After all, which head People who are not ill will believe that someone will go to Iran, where the hostage crisis is on the verge of making a space opera, such a nonsense thing? It turns out that basically everyone believes it. Hollywood has done so beautifully!"


    In recent years, Roger Albert, who has always been displeased with Ryan''s movies, not only posted compliments and gave a perfect score of 10, but also rarely showed two thumbs.


    Even if a few film critics criticized the film for ¡®the dialogue and the addition of too many fictional elements¡¯, it would not affect the film¡¯s reputation.


    The film got a high score of 86 points on the film, 13 of the 21 mainstream media gave full marks, only 2 gave a middle review, and the praise rate on Rotten Tomatoes was as high as 91%...


    In particular, Ryan¡¯s script did not contain inappropriate remarks about the United Kingdom and New Zealand, and the film was finished with large subtitles at the end. The process of rescuing the six stranded people in Tehran was helped by the Canadian ambassador. So far this story has The remarks of gratitude that became an immortal model of cross-government international rescue did not cause any controversy among the five friends in the English-speaking area.


    TV reporters also interviewed some audiences in some mainstream theaters across the United States.


    Diego Noah from Chicago said, ¡°This is a good movie, and it¡¯s exciting. The real performance revealed by its shooting deeply introduces people into the storyline. This is a story that records history. Worth remembering!"


    He is about forty years old, and he should still have memories of the events of that year.


    Compared with these older audiences, teenagers have different opinions.


    "A movie with a pretty good rhythm. Although it is not my favorite theme, the suspense in it is very attractive. The heroic image created by Ryan is very successful. In a terrifying country like Iran, acting in a fake Hollywood science fiction blockbuster is very The excitement is very dangerous. The escape in the second half of the film is simply thrilling. I almost concentrate on seeing the end from the beginning."


    Daniel Yaboff of New York is still in college. He basically didn''t know anything about the events of the year. He walked into the theater only because of Ryan in the movie.


    And his girlfriend Amanda also accepted an interview, "a rare subject, the plot is compact and orderly, the second half is so nervous, it is a very meaningful film to understand the history!"


    "There is no intense action scene but it is really exciting and fully reflects the role of Ryan''s good script."


    As a senior film fan in Los Angeles, Aiden Asenberg wrote on imdb, "Obviously we already know the ending, but the tension at the end is still surprisingly high. I can only say that Ryan''s script and acting skills are good, George ? Clooney''s director work is also very good!"


    After entering the 21st century, the reputation of professional media has long been not a decisive factor in the box office of movies. Although "Argo" has a good reputation among ordinary audiences, its subject matter and genre limitations cannot be compared with those super big in business. Compared with the production, otherwise Ryan would not avoid the highly competitive Thanksgiving Christmas file, and advance the release time to October, when the competition pressure is relatively small.


    The biggest competitor of "Argo" is expected to be "Alexander the Great", and the box office performance of this film after its release is no longer a competitor.


    "Alexander the Great" only won the North American box office of US$1.47 million in three days this weekend, and the number of theaters screened directly fell to 600. This is not the performance of a commercial masterpiece with a total investment of more than US$200 million. On the contrary, it is more like Hollywood''s many shoddy b-rated films. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 646： The most fascinating act

    Disney has invested a total of US$60 million in production costs and promotional expenses for this film. The original first week release plan was only 3,224 theaters. However, as the most promising super blockbuster in October, the reality of "Alexander the Great" is It was too bad. Numerous theaters gave up the screening of this film and joined the screening of "Argo" one after another.


    Fortunately, Disney has enough printing capabilities to provide enough copies for the newly added theaters before the premiere.


    As a result, the number of theaters in the first week of "Argo" surged to 3,586, becoming the movie with the most theaters released in October this year.


    Limited by subject matter and genre, the box office of the movie is not outstanding compared to Ryan''s past major productions.


    In the three days of the weekend, Friday only got 12.55 million U.S. dollars, which was his second worst opening result after "The Pianist" as an adult.


    However, the fast-paced and exciting plot of the film, as well as the good reputation among the audience, boosted the box office on Saturday and Sunday.


    Especially on Saturday, the box office ushered in a moment of explosion. The single-day box office of 17.55 million US dollars was worth the box office performance of "Alexander the Great" in the first week.


    On Sunday, the film¡¯s box office did not escape the declining pattern. The single-day box office of $13.5 million was the last time "Argo" had a single-day box office score of more than $10 million.


    On the first three days of the week, "Argo" won US$43.5 million in North America, which is incomparable to those commercial blockbusters with a box office of around 100 million yuan in the first week, but relative to the total investment of only US$60 million, it is already very good. The results are enough to sit on the throne of the North American box office leaderboard.


    Because of the increase in theaters, the box office in the first week was higher than the expectations of Ryan and Disney. Capital always wants to maximize profits. Disney has increased its promotional efforts and invested the remaining promotional expenses in the market.


    The crew also specially appeared on Antonia Kidman¡¯s evening talk show, which has now become one of the television¡¯s signature shows, although the focus of the interviews was on George Clooney, Alan Arkin, and John Gu Deman and Robert Downey Jr., but Ryan finally answered a few questions.


    "Movies belong to all mankind. Whenever a great Hollywood movie comes, everyone suddenly becomes fans." When Annie asked which plot in the movie he was most satisfied with, Ryan deliberately threw it out for a while. Words that will be discussed by a lot of media.


    "The most fascinating scene in the film is that Tony Mendes and his team showed the storyboards of the film they were preparing to make to the Iranian Islamic Guards who tried to hide their Hollywood fans. When Tony finally gave the storyboards to the Iranian soldiers, they Like a kid who received the "e?t Alien" poster personally presented by Steven Spielberg, he smiled happily."


    "So..." Ryan said seriously, "Iranian fans'' enthusiasm is not lost to us American audiences."


    Including George Clooney, Antonia Kidman and others laughed at the same time, and the audience sitting under the stage applauded warmly with laughter.


    When they recalled the movie, they found that the plot was exactly as Ryan said, and the Iranians really looked like Hollywood fans.


    Ryan only participated in the publicity of the three stations in Washington, New York and Los Angeles, and gave the remaining publicity work to George Clooney. After the release of "Argo", he is definitely the person who has received the most praise-the media and the public. I have long been accustomed to Ryan''s success-even successfully getting rid of the awkward identity of the male vase before. The better the film''s performance, the more actual and invisible benefits he can get.


    Under the intensive publicity offensive, although the box office of "Argo" in the second week inevitably saw a sharp drop, its $33.5 million result still retained its position as the No. 1 box office leader in North America; it was regarded as the largest. Competitor "Alexander the Great", this week''s box office is only almost negligible $ 570,000.


    In the words of the media, "Alexander the Great" used an extremely tragic way to demonstrate to Hollywood how the big production suffered a box office defeat.


    Subsequently, "Argo" landed on overseas markets one after another. The latest entry is naturally a few English-speaking countries. Although the film is full of Hollywood self-righteousness and American arrogance, its performance in these areas is not bad.


    Especially those hard-core allies.


    Australia''s box office in the first week reached more than 5.8 million U.S. dollars, in the UK it got more than 4.9 million U.S. dollars in the first week of box office, and even New Zealand had more than 500,000 U.S. dollars...


    Except for these **** brothers, the performance of "Argo" in other countries is not so good.


    Major overseas markets such as Brazil, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Argentina and Italy have almost all box offices below $1 million in the first week.


    This situation is also in Ryan''s expectation. It would be strange if a movie with the theme of "Argo" could be a big success in these non-English speaking countries.


    However, the performance of the film in North America is very stable. Although in the third week, Disney¡¯s newly released "National Treasure" squeezed the top spot in the North American box office chart with a box office of more than 36 million US dollars, but with a score of 23.47 million US dollars, it achieved The North American box office broke 100 million yuan in three weeks.


    In addition, in the eyes of the media and industry insiders, this film will be one of the most powerful contenders for the Oscars and other major awards next year.


    A successful movie can bring benefits to many people, even if it is a movie like "Argo" that can''t do much about it.


    As the prototype of the movie''s protagonist, Antonio Mendez is well-known throughout the United States and has become a hero in the minds of many people. In addition to fame, he actually gained a lot of benefits, even though the movie did not pay any fees for the CIA. But Disney still paid him up to US$3 million in copyright fees.


    There is also his memoir. With the help of the movie trend, "Argo: How the CIA and Hollywood worked together to complete the most daring rescue operation in history" easily sold more than 500,000 copies, and even signed a book sale. During the event, Antonio Mendez sold 16 paintings in one go. The most expensive painting sold for 40,000 US dollars, and all the paintings together received up to 170,000 US dollars.


    Later, when talking on the phone with Ryan, he also mentioned that he was about to start writing two memoirs, "Master of Disguise" and "Classic Cases of Deception."


    This is one of the 50 most outstanding agents in the history of the CIA, and it won''t take long to become a multimillionaire.


    The CIA is also the beneficiary. The film is basically singing praises for them. To a certain extent, the incompetent and terrible CIA image in the public''s mind is reversed after 9/11.


    This is also their original intention for agreeing to cooperate with Ryan on this film.


    Regarding the cast and crew, Ryan himself needless to say. Since the movie was released, Disney''s media has begun to build momentum to win the best picture and best actor nomination for the upcoming awards season.


    Another person who has benefited greatly is George Clooney. In view of the success of "Argo", Warner Bros. is considering letting him replace Steven Soderbergh as the new episode of the Arhat series, ¡°The Thirteen Arhats¡±. "The director of ", in addition, his management team also started public relations, in order to fight for the Golden Globe Award and even the Oscar nomination for best director.


    Bright sunlight fell on the grape racks all over the garden, and through the gaps between the yellow-green leaves, leaving a golden halo on the ground. Although the time has entered November, it is not visible in the Napa Valley. In the mid-autumn season, nothing seems to have changed.


    In the leisure floral corridor under the grapevine, Nicole was sitting at a small table, flipping his eyes at the laptop and looking at Ryan on the opposite side, just to see him hung up the phone.


    "Whose invitation." She looked at Ryan, who had put away her phone, and asked curiously, "I refused so resolutely?"


    "George Clooney." Ryan poured the cold black tea from the cup into the trash can, and Nicole picked up the silver jug ??and refilled it for him, saying, "Could it be that you are invited to appear in "Thirteen Arhats", right? ?"


    "Honey." Ryan shook her hand. "You guessed it."


    "It''s on the entertainment news." Nicole pointed to the laptop screen. "Yahoo Entertainment just reported that Warner Bros. is going to let him direct this movie."


    Ryan leaned over and took a look. Nicole was watching those entertainment gossips and then sat back. He didn''t explain why he refused, and Nicole didn''t mean to ask. After all, he has only appeared in the works of his own film company over the years.


    "That''s right..." Nicole left the computer screen, looked over, and asked concerned, "Isn''t Alison''s mv completed? When will it be released and wait for her to return from Australia. ."


    Seeing Nicole¡¯s seemingly longing expression, Ryan reached out and grabbed her left hand, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she is taken care of and supervised over there... Well, there are at least four hours every day to practice, you Didn¡¯t you go to see her there last month?"


    "Scarlett, Alison, Christine, and..." Nicole frowned, but didn''t mention the name. "Do you want to put all your friends in that movie?"


    "It''s just for box office appeal." Ryan squeezed his chin slightly embarrassedly, and quickly changed the subject, pointing to the notebook and said, "Any hot news recently?"


    "Not the ones that often happen in Hollywood..."


    Nicole held the right hand of the mouse and kept flipping through the web page. Suddenly, she blinked her eyes and showed an inexplicable smile. "


    "Me?" Ryan pointed to his nose, "What is it?" r1152()

 Chapter 647： Hollywood scam

    Nicole did not answer, but turned the notebook to his side. Ryan looked at the report from the British "Guardian" quoted by Yahoo Entertainment, and couldn''t help scratching his head.


    "Iran was demonized by Hollywood? The people of Iran were demonized by "Argo"?"


    This is the title of the article, but the news is also not written by the Guardian. They quoted an article from Middle East Online a few days ago.


    As "Argo" was shown in North America and appeared in overseas film markets including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, it was inevitably noticed by the Iranian government.


    "My dear, I only saw the headline." Nicole was obviously interested in this news, and said with a smile, "Can you read it out for me to listen to?".


    "no problem."


    Ryan also anticipated this situation. After browsing it roughly, he said in the most succinct words, "The Iranian government...well, the Iranian Minister of Culture made a formal protest against Argo and myself on behalf of the government."


    He drank lipstick tea, moisturized his throat, and continued, "They said that "Argo" portrays Iranians extremely fragile, irrational, crazy and cruel, while the image of Americans is''kind and innocent.'' The agents are even more righteous and full of heroism. This is advertising for the CIA and spreading''Iranophobia'' around the world."


    "Anything else?" Nicole had already laughed, obviously just like Ryan, who didn''t care much at all.


    Shrugging his shoulders, Ryan said again, "It''s about that way. They claim that this film seriously vilified Iran''s national image and distorted the true situation of the Iranian hostage crisis."


    "What do you think about this?" Nicole put a smile away and asked seriously, "Need a response?".


    "What are they doing?" Ryan waved his hand indifferently. "Our films and products can''t enter the Iranian market at all. They appear there. Ninety-nine percent of them are pirated. Otherwise, I will too. I won''t choose such a movie."


    Having said that, Ryan still took the matter in his mind and ordered the people below to pay attention to it. What he did not expect is that with the box office of "Argo" exceeding 100 million in North America, more and more countries will take this The film was included in the introduction plan, and the Iranian government made a strong response.


    The Iranian Ministry of Culture held a press conference in Tehran. Minister Javid Shamadari directly targeted Ryan, "Under the depiction of Ryan Jenkins and George Clooney. Iran has been portrayed as a''dangerous, dangerous, Weird and terrifying'' country; Iranians are also unscrupulously portrayed as fanatics, terrorists, uncivilized people, and female abusers. Tourists who want to travel to Iran will worry about being killed or being arrested as spies. Iran has already It is one of the most distorted and misunderstood countries in the world."


    In addition, Hollywood will definitely get shot.


    "For more than 20 years, Hollywood has not learned anything new, and is still immersed in self-expansion and American heroism. When it consistently distorts the image of Iranians in movies, their collective identity is formed."


    "Hollywood may be the only Western institution that is at the forefront of the''war on terrorism.'' In a movie it throws out, it follows almost the same line as the US government. That is, the simple dualism of good and evil, formulaically depicting The image of Iran!"


    Finally, the Minister of Culture announced that in the following week. The Iranian government will hold a "Hollywood Scam" conference in Tehran, hoping to invite Ryan and George Clooney to participate in this conference.


    Neither Ryan nor George Clooney expected the Iranian government to react so fiercely, but they were not in the mood to attend the so-called "Hollywood Scam" conference, and they didn''t care much about this kind of thing. Anyway, no matter how happy the Iranians are, there is still the federal government in front of them.


    Perhaps it is because of the fear of Ryan''s influence that can be called horrible in the world, or it may be that "Argo" has indeed stabbed the painful foot of the Iranian government. In addition, recently many tourist groups from many countries have cancelled their plans to travel to Tehran. The Iranian government has shown the fastest efficiency. In less than a week, the "Hollywood Scam" conference kicked off in Tehran.


    According to news from cn, the secretary general of the conference Lesani stated that ¡°The Islamic Republic of Iran intends to prosecute all those who are active in the anti-Iranian field, including the director of "Argo" George Clooney and the producer Ryan Jenkins.


    At the same time, in order to fight back, the Iranian Arts and Cultural Administration will cast a film called "General Staff" within this year to tell the hostage incident from another angle.


    The Iranians not only verbally protested, but also took substantive actions. They hired a lawyer of Middle Eastern descent from the UK to participate in this conference.


    This young female lawyer named Aimo Alamuddin accepted an interview with a Canadian media after the meeting, saying that she took the case to "defend the interests of Iran" and would do her best. Help the world understand the real situation of Iranians.


    After returning to the United Kingdom, Aimo Alamuddin told the British "Guardian" who came to interview that she would file a lawsuit in the United Kingdom on behalf of the Iranian government, accusing some Hollywood directors and producers of''distorting history'' and applying the law. The clause is''individuals cause losses to others and shall be liable''.


    Then she told AFP reporters that Iran does not require a ban on "Argo", but only hopes that Ryan and George Clooney will issue a statement acknowledging that the situation described in the film does not match the facts.


    The Iranian government is obviously not stupid. It is impossible for this film to be released publicly in Iran and banned worldwide? Do they have this ability? Apart from Libya and Venezuela and other dictatorial countries, who will respond to their call?


    As for making a statement, Ryan didn''t even think about it. He hadn''t got any water in his head.


    However, George Clooney called, and of course he also didn''t want to make a statement.


    "Ryan, Aimo? Alamudin... is the attorney representing the Iranian government. He sent me a lawyer''s letter and wanted to interview me and my lawyer. Didn''t you receive it?".


    Ryan also received it, but didn''t intend to go. He suddenly remembered a good idea and said to the phone, "George, this is a good opportunity. You are responsible for the female lawyer. I will do the rest."


    "Get the female lawyer?" The other party obviously didn''t understand what he meant.


    "George, you are one of the most attractive men in Hollywood." Ryan said completely unreliable. "It''s not easy to deal with a female lawyer with a beautiful boy."


    After saying these jokes, Ryan hung up the phone, but seriously thought about it. This matter is no longer an entertainment incident. With the announcement of the Iranian government¡¯s protests one after another, it has risen to the social and political level, although With the federal government standing in front, he always has to make some preparations.


    It seems that there are many Iranians who have been forced to emigrate in North America, and many of the hostages who were taken hostage are still alive...


    He quickly dialed George''s phone.


    Although the North American media are reporting this incident, in addition to relaying news from the Middle East, the mainstream media reacted with sarcasm to the Iranian government. Even some hidden anti-Semitic media and the group of self-reported media responded with sarcasm. The media controlled by the descendants of Anglo-Saxons are no exception. In this matter, they have common interests.


    In addition, both online and in reality, a large number of Americans expressed their support for Ryan. Even when the Iranians held the "Hollywood Scam" conference, tens of thousands of Ryan''s supporters held up various slogans. , Gathered on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to protest the Iranian slander of Ryan against Hollywood by the United States.


    Brainwashing is not only a skill that countries such as the Soviet Union are good at. The United States is no exception. After decades of shaping by the federal government and mainstream media, Iran is an outright hostile and evil country in the eyes of most Americans. .


    Things intensified, and "Argo" became the biggest beneficiary. After the North American box office of the latest week was released, the weekly box office of this film suddenly soared to more than 39.5 million US dollars, and the total box office of the overseas market also soared to more than 41 million. U.S. dollars, which pushed the film¡¯s global box office to the $200 million mark.


    This movie is basically non-controversial in North America, but it has become hot because of the controversy caused overseas.


    "This is also good."


    Hiding in a winery in the Napa Valley, Ryan said to Nicole sitting on the sofa in the living room, ¡°The louder the voice of opposition from Iran, the greater the possibility of "Argo" becoming the best film Oscar next year. "


    Politics has never been far away from movies, away from Hollywood, and away from Oscars.


    "If the whole Islamic world criticizes youNicole frowned, not without worry, she didn''t expect things to become the way it is now," it will have some impact on your reputation. "


    "Don''t worry, honey."


    This is one of his dearest people. Ryan will not hide from Nicole. He paced and said, "It''s just a fight anyway. Don''t forget, we control one of the most influential media and media groups in the world. One."


    He shrugged, "Scott has already talked to the White House on the phone. The mainstream media will only make the same voice on matters that concern the interests of the United States, and I have also asked some people to come out. Have a good confrontation with the Iranian government."


    "Let''s divert the attention of the Iranians and let them point their finger at the federal government."


    Anyway, George Bush carried so many scapegoats on behalf of the big groups behind the scenes, so that the Washington authorities and the Iranian government had a good fight.


    The two sides splashed black water on each other, no one did less than anyone else. I am afraid that no one can tell who is the main responsibility of the hostage incident. The two sides are just arguing. Anyway, it has been so many years. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 648： To discredit them must start from the teenagers

    "Ryan Jenkins, George Clooney, and Hollywood shouldn''t you apologize?"


    The mayor of Tehran and one of Iran¡¯s new presidential candidates, Ahmadinejad, gave a strong protest in a joint interview with Iran¡¯s National Television and Al Jazeera. ¡°In addition to "Argo", there are many other Hollywood movies. , The purpose is to insult and criticize the great country Iran and its rich culture. "The chapter is updated the fastest"


    Seize favorable opportunities to build momentum for yourself. Politicians in any country and region are very good at this.


    The representative of Iran¡¯s religious conservatives also declared that if he is elected president, he will push for legislation to list Hollywood movies as a national ban, and declare Ryan and George Clooney as the least popular people in Iran. Ban them from entering Iran.


    As if to enumerate evidence, he published a series of Hollywood movies and American literature that slandered Iran.


    In addition to "Argo", he focused on another Hollywood movie, the Hollywood movie "Running to the End" which is adapted from the autobiographical novel of the same name.


    This film is about an American woman with a young daughter who followed her Iranian husband back to her hometown, but in Iran, her husband has undergone a''strange transformation'', from an educated modern person to a conservative and sadistic madman believer. The heroine is told that according to Islamic law, she can divorce her husband, but her daughter must stay in Tehran. After 18 months of hard time, the heroine finally escaped with her daughter to the US Embassy in Turkey.


    Ahmadinejad claimed that the film, like "Argo", was "staining" Iran, criticizing the film for portraying Iranians who were "stereotyped"-discriminating against women, abusing wives, and fanaticism.


    In his literary works, he focused on the graphic novel "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", which was once popular in the United States. He believed that it described the Persians, the ancestors of Iranians, as full of lust, vain, evil and barbaric. primitive.


    "All they have done are telling people around the world that Iran has been the source of evil since ancient times!" Ahmadinejad used extremely harsh language. "This is a cultural war launched by Hollywood and even the United States against Iran. They want to subvert a great country!"


    A fierce map gun appeared. This event was no longer limited to a movie, it was also beyond the scope of Hollywood, and it rose to the height of a region and a country.


    After Ahmadinejad¡¯s televised speech was broadcast, Ryan returned to Los Angeles from the Napa Valley. This incident was no longer an individual, or even an individual incident in Hollywood. It has evolved into a major event that has spread throughout the United States.


    Just back in Los Angeles, the current chairman of the college, Pearson, called a party in the name of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The participants are all Hollywood celebrities, whose purpose is to make necessary responses to Iranian speeches.


    In Hollywood¡¯s style, even if the international protests are fierce, they should still shoot what they should shoot, but this time is different. Representatives of the Iranian government have raised their relationship with Hollywood to the height of war. , And even announced the list of prosecutions. Contains many members of the college...


    They quickly reached an agreement. Now that Ahmadinejad mentioned "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan", they should adapt it into a movie and promote it all over the world. The Persian inside... well, try to be as ugly as possible.


    The day after the party, Kidman''s studio under Nicole''s name held a press conference with many companies including Disney, Paramount, Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox. Announcing that the film version of "Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" was officially launched, Ryan will personally serve as the producer, and several companies will work together to create an epic feat that reflects the battle against Persian invasion.


    among them. It also published several conceptual design drawings, not to mention the image of Xerxes I, the Great of Persia.


    n. TV stations, TV stations and the three major newspapers in the United States and many other mainstream media have participated in this press conference, and published the news in important time slots and pages. The concept map of Xerxes I is affirmed It''s the point. Anyway, the other party has fired a map cannon, and they don''t mind using the fiercest public opinion to fight back.


    Of course, Nicole has long bought the right to adapt to "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors". The major companies are just symbolic capital contributions, and most of the investment comes from her studio.


    With the help of Ahmadinejad, this work has become the focus of attention of the American public before filming has started.


    The conflicts between the United States and Iran have been numerous. They have been on the verge of using force several times in the past few years. Now they are undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. The fighting on the screen has completely turned off the screen, between the federal government and the Iranian government. The struggle in reality is more dark than in the movie.


    As Ryan expected, the battle of words began to turn into a map cannon on both sides, developing in a more intense direction.


    "George, have you found those people?"


    Through an encrypted phone call, Ryan asked about what had been told some time ago, and George''s answer came over the phone, "I found a lot, but..."


    "Ryan, people from the federal government have approached them. I don''t think we need to come forward."


    With Iran¡¯s continuous protests, it seems that the federal government is about to launch a new round of smearing operations.


    Afterwards, Ryan called the television station and many other Disney-owned media leaders, and told them to follow up the follow-up development of the incident. Even the Disney TV Children¡¯s Channel did not let go. Since the Iranians called by name, That discredited them must start from the teenagers.


    As a representative of Iran¡¯s conservatives and anti-American factions, Ahmadinejad, the Iranian presidential candidate, is definitely the focus of the major media attacks in the United States.


    The TV station took the lead in shaking out a historical photo of the Associated Press, and pointed out that the bearded young man who was escorting a blindfolded American hostage in the photo was Ahmadinejad. He was one of the murderers of the hostage crisis!


    Then, the American hostages imprisoned during the hostage crisis and some Iranians now living in the United States jumped out.


    The interview video of the former hostage Scott was on the homepage of the lure tube-even if Ahmadinejad shaved off his beard and changed his clothes, he would definitely recognize him!


    He said so, ¡°In the summer of 1980, I was detained in the Irvine Prison in the northern suburbs of Tehran. Sometimes the jailer found out that I was allowed to go out of the cell and let me go outside. After Judd saw it, he immediately furious, and the other party violently yelled at the jailer:''They are all inferior to pigs and dogs, and they are not worthy of being out of the air''!"


    Another former hostage Lord told a reporter from Disney¡¯s Children¡¯s Channel that during the interrogation, Ahmadinejad threatened the United States to kidnap his son, then tore him to pieces, and sent his toes and fingers one by one. His wife.


    These news were quickly reprinted by major Western media, and the Iranian side responded quickly.


    They claimed that the hostage crisis that year was a spontaneous action by Iranian students and has nothing to do with Ahmadinejad and the Iranian government...


    How many people would believe this? If there is no secretly instructed by some people and the indulgent hint of the Iranian government, this kind of absurd behavior will happen?


    The confrontation between the two sides over public opinion did not mean to stop at all.


    A well-known investigative reporting website controlled by the investigative company "" announced the results of an investigation since the incident. In an online survey involving more than 1.5 million people, 75% of the people believed Iran is one of the sources of evil in the world, and 17% of the remaining people frankly have no interest in Iran as a country.


    After seeing this, Ryan had to secretly admire the quiet and silent propaganda methods of these Western countries, which are far more powerful than some rigid and compulsory propaganda.


    Take the people around him as an example. Natalie is a standard Jew and naturally has no good feelings about Iran, which has repeatedly claimed to destroy Israel. Nicole and Charlize privately believe that the federal government has done these things to Iran. , It¡¯s actually no big deal.


    Supported by the federal government and led by Hollywood and major media in the United States, the public opinion war with Iran became the theme of November worldwide.


    Of course, in a world where Western values ??are the universal standard, Iran naturally receives more criticism and less support.


    In order to break this situation, the Iranian government''s state-owned film company has invested heavily in filming a film based on the Iranian female racing car Lale Sedi, with the purpose of breaking the Western prejudice against Iran.


    "In the eyes of Westerners, Iran is backward and women are in low status. Hollywood movies are also trying their best to portray the negative image of Iran, and this film will change this situation." The film¡¯s organizer, one of the Iranian Documentary and Experimental Film Center. An official said so on Iranian national television.


    But opponents like gods are not as good as teammates like pigs.


    The conservatives who dominate in Iran immediately lashed out at this decision, saying that ¡®the appearance of women in movies is itself an insult to Iran¡¯s culture! The plot of the movie is simply a ridiculous interpretation of Iranian Muslim women! ¡¯¡¯Why do you want to make such a movie that caters to the tastes of the United States and its allies and promotes Western values? ''and many more.


    The Iranian government¡¯s plan to connect the world has not yet been implemented, and it has been forced to abort...


    The TV station immediately seized the opportunity to bring some Iranian artists exiled in the West to the fore.


    Shi Lin Naisha, a pioneering artist from Iran, participated in the TV ace show Annie talk show.


    Naisha said that she sees herself as a spokesperson for her compatriots.


    "I was forced to stay away from my motherland and live in an unfamiliar country. This is because the West has enough respect for my identity as a woman. Here I don¡¯t need to cover my face, nor do I need to worry about some inexplicable, unfamiliar things. The pressure we should bear."


    "And in Iran? Let¡¯s take art creation as an example. Either make some simple works that will not touch the society and any real problems, so that you can stay in the motherland; or you can do what you really want to do, but maybe forever. Can''t go home." (To be continued ()

 ~： The impact of movies

    No matter how great an opponent is, he cannot compare to a teammate like a pig.


    The follow-up development in Iran has proved this eternal truth to the world.


    Ahmadinejad is undoubtedly the representative of Iran in this incident. Since publicly speaking on TV, he has appeared frequently in various public places.


    In late November, at the funeral of a conservative politician in Tehran, Ahmadinejad hugged his 78-year-old mother to show his comfort.


    Then, public opinion in Iran immediately shifted from the country to him. Many conservative religious forces seriously criticized the embrace. Religious figures claimed that Ahmadinejad¡¯s behavior violated Shia canon and insulted. The religious dignity of Iran.


    This time the criticism was so fierce that it completely suppressed the American criticism of Hollywood for a while.


    Of course, what the Iranians did instantly became the laughing stock of the world.


    The heads of the three major newspapers and the three major television networks in the United States even feel that it is a bit of a price to compete with such opponents.


    Subsequently, the lawyer representing the Iranian government in the West, Miss Aimo Alamudin, published a public statement in The Times, ¡°In view of the many absurd practices of the Iranian government, she decided to break away from all relations with the other party. ''And praised,''Ryan Jenkins and George Clooney have always been Hollywood stars she admired.''


    On the same day, the "Sun" published several photos of the female lawyer, which clearly showed that Aimo Alamudin was on vacation with George Clooney in Ibiza...


    In this battle of public opinion, the Iranian government lost almost all its faces.


    Even the media of many neutral countries have begun to question the reality of Iran. A report by RIA Novosti is very targeted.


    "Iran, which ended up being a little''incompatible'' with the world, is it refusing to talk to the world, or is it unable to communicate at all?"


    Of course, there are many international public opinions that sympathize with Iran.


    For example, a news agency on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.


    "The Iranian nuclear issue is unresolved and the threat of war is intensifying. The image of Iran in the "Argo" lens will definitely mislead ordinary Americans to the impression of Iran. If there is a major node in the Iranian nuclear issue in the future, the mistakes of the American people will be Ideas will inevitably explode, and will even influence the final decision of the White House and the Pentagon."


    Their worries are not unreasonable.


    Faced with criticism from Western public opinion, the Iranian government once again announced the launch of a nuclear test and uranium enrichment program. The incident completely turned into a political game. The federal government immediately transferred the ¡®Eisenhower¡¯ aircraft carrier formation to the Persian Gulf...


    "Did we go too far?"


    Lying on the soft goose down quilt, Nicole turned her head and kissed the beads of sweat that had fallen on Ryan''s forehead, enjoying the shock coming from behind. Bian whispered, "I don''t want you to become the fuse of war."


    "Hey, dear."


    Squeezing her chin, Ryan gave Nicole a wet kiss, increased the frequency a little, and gasped and said, "You are overestimating the influence of a movie."


    The incident started because of "Argo", but after the scope was expanded, it was out of his control. The United States and those large groups have vital interests in the Middle East. Iran has long been seen as a thorn in the eye. At this time, it will definitely stand up and launch a public opinion offensive.


    Isolating Iran is something Western countries will do before, now and in the future.


    "Do you think there will be a fight?" Nicole looked back at him with blurred eyes. "My dear, push harder, hurry up! Oh, my God. That''s it!"


    "Who knows..." Ryan''s impact was getting faster and faster, and Nicole held one of his hands with his backhand, showing a high-pitched voice.


    "If you really fight." Ryan has maintained the fastest frequency. Regardless of whether Ni, who is in a state of absent-mindedness, may not be able to hear him, she still said, "Those energy and arms complexes should thank me well."


    The incident finally became a worldwide disturbance, and there must be their shadows behind it.


    Even so, Ryan doesn''t think there will be a fight. The Iranian nuclear crisis has caused so many times in the previous life, and the federal government has clamored for it several times, but there has been no war.


    Besides, if a war breaks out in the Middle East because of a movie like "Argo", I will really stay in the annals of history...


    Having said that, the turmoil brought about by this film is a bit bigger.


    "What are you thinking about?" Nicole came back to his senses and complained slightly, "Can you be distracted at this time?"


    After speaking, she turned around and threw Ryan down on her back.


    Looking at the wet and softening thing, Nicole rolled her eyes at Ryan, covered her legs with one hand, and pulled the other hand over the pillow and placed it under her ass.


    Seeing Nicole''s movements, Ryan lay down and hugged her and sighed. He really doubted whether he was cursed. In the past two years, he had secretly sought out many doctors, including him and Nicole, as well as Charlize and Natalie. There is no problem with his body, and basically no safety measures have been taken, but nothing happened to the target once.


    Isn¡¯t this just what you gain and you lose?


    Shaking his head, Ryan stopped thinking about these questions, and his thoughts returned to "Argo".


    The social environment affects the film, and the film also affects the social environment. A film with a political color finally caused such a big disturbance, which exceeded everyone''s expectations, and even had an impact on international social relations.


    However, it seems that there is nothing wrong with him now. After all, the other party is a country. Apart from launching the media under his name and continuing to discredit him, he also has nothing to do with the Iranian government. Conversely, the Iranian government has nothing to do with him except for talking about him. What a good way.


    Anyway, he can''t see the possibility of Hollywood movies making money from Iran, including "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", in future movies, Iranians will still not have a good image.


    Thinking of this, Ryan lowered her head to look at Nicole in her arms, her eyes blurred as if she was asleep and awake, as if she was still reminiscing about the aftermath.


    "Is there anything wrong?" Nicole slowly raised her eyelids, her light blue eyes looked at him, Ryan kissed her forehead and asked, "Have you seen Zach Schneider?"


    "Yeah~" Nicole hummed, pulled one of Ryan''s hand, and covered her underneath instead. "After he heard that he was listed as one of the directors, he drew a lot of shots based on the original work, Frank Miller thinks that he is the most suitable candidate, and I think it is not bad, and he has entered the stage of substantive negotiations."


    "That''s good." Ryan blew away the golden curls that fell on his nose.


    This is the work of Hollywood''s counterattack against Iran. If the box office fails by that time, then these people, including him and Nicole, will really become the laughing stock of the Iranians.


    "After this film is released, I will be satisfied to have a box office like "Argo"." Nicole tightened her legs and made Ryan''s not very honest hand unable to continue to make trouble. "A total of 60 million U.S. dollar investment turned out to be profitable at the box office."


    "Isn''t someone advertising for us for free?" Ryan laughed.


    With the help of this battle of public opinion, "Argo" handed over the box office that only hit movies. Since the Iranian government has repeatedly criticized the film, the major media are full of relevant news. Audiences who are not interested in this subject also walked into the theater, wanting to see what a movie looks like that can make a country raise serious protests against Hollywood.


    Even if the number of theaters is declining, it can¡¯t compete with super-large productions such as "Van Helsing" that will be released this month, but "Argo" has maintained a high attendance rate, and the box office has remained at the same level in the past two weeks. Around 15 million U.S. dollars, and now that Thanksgiving Day is approaching, the film has earned 189.78 million U.S. dollars in North America, and the North American box office will definitely exceed 200 million U.S. dollars.


    Counting the overseas box office, the current global box office performance is close to 300 million U.S. dollars. For such a political thriller film, it can only be described as incredible.


    In this regard, Ryan and Disney should thank the Iranian government.


    In this battle of public opinion, the other party not only made a mess and didn''t take much advantage, but instead helped him send a large amount of business income.


    Such an enthusiastic opponent is hard to find in the world.


    More importantly, with the hostile attitude of Iranians towards Hollywood, "Argo" will win several heavyweight awards from next year¡¯s Oscars, which is basically a foregone conclusion. According to the academy¡¯s style, the best film is almost a foregone conclusion. Booked.


    With the advent of Thanksgiving another hot schedule in North America kicked off, the first to appear is the little wizard who has been away for two years, "Harry Potter and Azkaban''s "Prisoner" was released in both the English-speaking area and China on the other side of the Pacific. Gryffindor''s Golden Triangle once again wielded its magic wand to start a journey of fortune.


    Different from the previous life, Zhang Qiu appeared in this movie. Although it was only a soy sauce role, it caused a sensation on the other side of the Pacific. The film passed the review smoothly and became another Chinese and American simultaneous release. film.


    The film, as always, sparked a boom in movie viewing among teenagers. In the first weekend, the box office won US$19.38 million in North America, and the box office in the first week of overseas screenings reached more than US$75 million. After the revision, a variety of new props, instantly It has become the most popular item on the market. In just one week, small items such as toys, cultural shirts, props and models have been sold for 34 million U.S. dollars in the United Kingdom and the United States.


    The "Harry Potter" series, like a machine that can make gold, continues to bring huge benefits.


    Of course, this series has also created a group of red to purple child stars, especially Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson. It is not too much to describe it as a world-wide teenage idol. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 650： Are you ready

    "Nate, try changing lens 132."


    It¡¯s already time to get off work, but Sophia Coppola didn¡¯t mean to leave. She instructed Natalie, who was a temporary guest editor, to constantly switch shots, "Replace the 217th shot again, yes! That''s this little action. ."


    "It looks better."


    After adjusting the camera, Natalie thoughtfully, "Kaitenis entered this luxurious place for the first time, using unconscious small movements to express her anxiety..."


    Staring at herself on the LCD screen, she glanced at the female director beside her, "Sophia, it feels much better."


    "Let''s stop here today."


    After a sip of coffee, Sophia Coppola squeezed her forehead and leaned on the back of the chair, "Nat, you''re making progress very fast. You can completely operate a movie."


    "Thank you."


    This is the end of today¡¯s work. Natalie cut off the power to several devices and picked up the coffee cup. Before drinking, she asked, "Are you stressed?"


    Sophia Coppola nodded, "Didn''t you read the report that Ms. Kennedy brought? In addition to the $100 million for the production, Disney also prepared $120 million for publicity expenses. Starting from my transition to a director, Ryan has helped me so much. If I mess up this time, I really don¡¯t know how to face him..."


    Turning her head, Natalie frowned and glanced at Sophia Coppola, shook her head secretly, and comforted, "Although we only cut out one-fifth, I think the film does have an appeal to watch. .Hope, don¡¯t forget, Sophia, Yi Ryan¡¯s character..."


    She flattened her mouth and said, "If there is no possibility of profit, I would never invest such a huge amount of money."


    "What you said makes sense." Sophia Coppola agreed with Natalie, a smile on her tired face. "Sometimes, I have stronger faith in Ryan than in myself!"


    It''s all the time. She added something in her heart.


    Natalie was a little surprised. If it wasn''t for Ryan''s support, how could she make up her mind to enter the director''s circle so early; if it wasn''t for Ryan''s support, what about her experimental feature film? May appear in theaters.


    It was with Ryan that she never worried about what to do after she failed. She always believed that with Ryan''s support, she could not fail.


    "Clean up, let''s go."


    Looked at the watch. Natalie stood up, "Ryan should be coming soon, it''s late, let''s go for a supper together."


    "Okay."


    Putting on her coat, Sophia Coppola walked to the door with her satchel. Just a few steps later, the door opened and Ryan strode in.


    "It looks like I''m here at the right time?" Ryan let in and opened the door, making a please gesture. "Moria restaurant, I have booked a place."


    This is a typical French restaurant, the food is exquisite and delicious, and the portion for dinner is small enough. It is a place where many Hollywood female stars like to eat. The reserved space in the restaurant is very quiet. A round mahogany dining table keeps a sufficient distance from others.


    Sitting at the dining table separately, the three of Ryan enjoyed the meal that Lu Xu brought up. Bian whispered to each other''s topics of interest.


    "Don''t you think time is a little tight?" Sophia Coppola said seriously.


    "Sophia."


    Cut a small steak, Ryan raised his head, "I''ve seen your progress. If nothing else, it can be completed in mid-May. This is still not counting overtime."


    "Don''t tell me, you want the movie to be released in May next year." After all, this is her first big production, and Sophia also wants to have more time to fine-tune it.


    "I originally planned to do this." Ryan ignored the two wide-eyed women and took the cut steak into his mouth without hesitation. After swallowing it, he said unhurriedly, " But Surprise put "X-Men 3" in May. In order to avoid hitting the box office of this movie, I plan to put it in early June."


    "Early June?" Sophia looked at Natalie, "I remember Scarlett said that DreamWorks'' "Escape from the Clone Island" seems to be on this schedule."


    "That''s right." Natalie nodded in agreement with her cup. "The second weekend in June."


    "Then we will choose to release it on the first weekend of June."


    As the hottest summer file, it was the time when commercial blockbusters were released. Of course, Ryan had to pick the softest persimmon, "I will inform Kate and Disney Pictures when I look back."


    "Why not push it to release in August?" Sophia was obviously lacking in confidence, frowning and said, "This is Michael Bay and DreamWorks working together to create a super masterpiece, I am worried..."


    "No, no, no..." Ryan shook his finger. "Sophia, it should be them, not us, who are worried."


    "Scarlet will be sad if you say that." Natalie said with a pursed smile.


    This was just a joke. She knew that as long as Ryan was still in Hollywood, these friends around him would never lack opportunities.


    "Our film is aimed at teenagers and female audiences." Ryan felt six points full, and simply put down his knife and fork. "You may not pay attention. The sales of the original novel is only second to the "The Da Vinci Code". "And we have assembled the best young actors in Hollywood today. As long as the promotion is in place, the box office will definitely not be a problem."


    "You have so much confidence in me?" Sophia Coppola''s brows gradually loosened.


    Ryan shrugged gracefully. Ryan didn¡¯t say anything. He had seen some samples cut by Sophia. The effect was not bad, at least not worse than the previous one. On the basis of ensuring the most basic quality, how to do a good job in marketing is The key to the success of this series.


    What Disney lacks most is the experience of promoting works among teenagers and female audiences.


    Although the final release time has not yet been determined, Disney¡¯s promotional plan has been launched long ago. Behind the high sales of original novels is the result of the operation of Ryan and Disney, and as the shooting ends, many props in the movie are also commercialized , Various neighboring authorization negotiations have also taken the lead.


    Ryan''s goal is simple, to recover the cost as far as possible at the box office and use the surroundings to make a profit.


    So far, among all Hollywood movies, there are three best-developed peripheral series, George Lucas''s "Star Wars", Ryan''s "Jurassic Park" and "Harry Potter" series.


    For these films, cinema screenings are more like publicity and promotion, and the real places that bring huge profits are almost all in the surrounding industries.


    The topic of the three people always revolves around the film industry.


    "I heard from Nat..." Sophia Coppola asked Ryan, holding the newly delivered black tea from the waiter, "Are you going to restart "Jurassic Park"?"


    "Waiting for Stephen."


    After receiving Natalie''s coffee with sugar and milk, Ryan took a sip and continued, "It will be the second half of the year at the earliest. I plan to use 3D technology to make it."


    "Bring the audience into the theater with the dinosaurs in front of you?" Natalie tasted the black tea. She probably found it unpalatable. She simply exchanged for coffee from Ryan and asked, "Don''t you switch to imax?"


    "Of course it will." Ryan put the black tea she stuffed over on the table, "I still want to use this film to promote the development of imax3d cinema."


    "It''s a pity that these are of little help to literary and artistic movies." Sophia Coppola put down his tea cup and checked the time. "It''s getting late, let''s go."


    "Tomorrow weekend."


    After leaving the restaurant and walking towards the parking lot, Ryan said, "Are there any arrangements?"


    "Relax." Sophia pointed to the faint dark circles under her eyes illuminated by the street light, "Relieve all the pressure and go to sleep."


    "I invited Sophia."


    Natalie held Ryan in his arms and reminded, "She thinks that hiding at home is easier to relax than going to Utah."


    "so¡­¡­"


    When she walked to the car, Sophia looked at them, raised her voice slightly and asked, "Have you finished the script you prepared for Nat?"


    "So we are going to inspect the location."


    Looking at the faintly visible paparazzi outside the parking lot, Ryan opened the Rolls-Royce door for Natalie, "We have to go to the field first, and then form the crew."


    "Shunyi uses the weekend to go there to play." Natalie added.


    "Wish ya''ll good luck."


    Waved to this side, Sophia Coppola got into his car, and the black Cadillac took the lead to leave the parking lot.


    "Let''s go too."


    With a light pat on Natalie, Ryan followed her into the car, and Rolls-Royce drove towards North Hollywood.


    "Are everything ready?"


    When the car entered Laurel Valley Avenue, Natalie saw a shop selling field equipment on the side of the road through the car window, and asked Ryan, "We are camping out in the wild."


    "All the equipment, food." Ryan simply found a folded list from his pocket and handed it to Natalie. "Including the satellite phone, it was delivered to the plane in the afternoon."


    Natalie browsed through the list casually and returned it to Ryan, "Where''s the script? I haven''t seen the script yet."


    "I put the physical version in the off-road vehicle." Ryan knocked his forehead, "I sent the electronic version to your encrypted mailbox."


    Returning to Natalie''s villa, Ryan told John a few words and asked him to contact the people who rushed to Utah first, and don''t miss the pick-up time tomorrow.


    "Only when you are fully prepared." Ryan said to her as she took Natalie to the villa, "Only the possibility of accidents will be minimized."


    There is a geologically complex area, Ryan didn''t want the encounter with Alan Ruston to happen to them and his group.


    "By the way, where is Alison?"


    After entering the villa, Ryan realized that his dear sister had not come, "I told her to come here today, and then leave together tomorrow."


    "Go to Scarlett''s side." Natalie gestured to the direction of Scarlett''s house with her chin. "She called me, and she wants to sleep with Scarlett at night." (To be continued...)( )

 Chapter 651： Humans are never weak

    After the plane landed at Moeb Airport in Utah, Ryan and his team changed to five off-road vehicles, along Route 78, all the way to a small town called Arbens, a small town with a population of only a few thousand. Known throughout the United States for skiing and summer escape, their destination is Canyonlands National Park to the west of the town.


    "Check drinking water, radios, satellite phones, spare oil drums and all other equipment."


    At the gas station on the west side of the town, John loudly commanded the bodyguards to make the final check, "All vehicles are filled up and ready to go at any time."


    Standing by the off-road vehicle, Ryan set up a pergola and looked to the west. There was a huge and wide open wilderness in front of him. Under the sunlight in winter, the spots of snow on the brown-red sandstone ground reflected The charming halo shows the unique scenery of the western United States.


    "Are they not here yet?"


    The door of this extended off-road vehicle was pushed open from inside, and Taylor jumped out, "How long shall we wait."


    "We came early, and it''s not yet the agreed time."


    Taking off his gloves, Ryan picked up the hat that Taylor was carrying and put it on her head for her, "My dear, this is not Los Angeles. Keep warm."


    Although the weather here is not too cold, it is incomparable to Los Angeles, which is sunny all year round.


    "Mr. Ruston will be here soon."


    The door opened again, and Natalie and Scarlett Johansson, who were holding their mobile phones, got out of the car one after another, walked to Ryan, and looked east, "They have about five minutes'' drive away."


    "Where''s my signature book."


    Back to the car, Taylor found his backpack and walked back, hung it on Scarlett''s shoulder, and took out the fountain pen and the signature book from the bag in the helpless eyes of the little fat girl staring at her.


    "My dear." Scarlett returned the backpack to her, curled her lips and said, "You are going to release a record, can you stop doing this kind of naive behavior?"


    "Don''t say you don''t admire Alan Ruston."


    Holding bag and notebook. Taking advantage of his height, Taylor looked down at Scarlett from a condescending stare, "His courage and determination in adversity, his attitude toward difficulties in life, and the nature of human nature, I admire very much."


    "The two of you have been arguing on the way." Ryan frowned and looked at Taylor and Scarlett. "What happened?"


    "It''s not that she is strong by relying on her height and legs..."


    Before Scarlett could finish her words, she was interrupted by Taylor''s staring eyes, "Scarlett!"


    "It''s nothing." Scarlett turned her head to the side in a jealous manner, just out of sight of Ryan and Natalie. She and Taylor''s eyes were still in a silent confrontation.


    A few minutes later, a black off-road vehicle came from far and near. It was Alan Ruston and his girlfriend, the former amateur mountaineering adventurer, who has now become a professional player, especially It was after Ryan bought the film adaptation rights for "The Dilemma of Life and Death", its fame instantly reverberated throughout North America.


    However, the other party broke his arm to survive in the Blue John Canyon. It''s really shocking.


    In a country where personal heroism is rampant like North America, he also deserves the title of a hero.


    Ryan met Alan Ruston for the first time, but Natalie flew to Utah to talk to each other several times after she decided to direct the film. It can be considered familiar.


    "This is my girlfriend and manager Jessica."


    After greeted everyone, Alan Ruston introduced his girlfriend to Ryan and his party. The two parties exchanged simple greetings and got in the car and went straight to the destination.


    Canyon National Park is located at the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers in southeastern Utah. Sandstone towers and canyons formed by years of river erosion and erosion by wind, frost, rain and snow are one of the most famous erosion areas in the world, famous for their sinister peaks and rugged rocks.


    Under the leadership of Alan Ruston. Not far from the town, the car left Highway 78.


    Strictly speaking, they have entered the scope of Canyon National Park. There are no roads. The so-called roads are all trails that can only be passed by four-wheel drive off-road vehicles. They are recognized as one of the most difficult areas for humans to enter in the entire United States.


    After more than forty miles of bumps, the convoy arrived near Horseshoe Canyon, a small camping area for tourists.


    Because of the weekend, when Ryan got out of the car, he discovered that there were already several off-road vehicles parked here. About six or seven people gathered together and looked at this side with strange eyes.


    "These are travel and rock climbing enthusiasts."


    Alan Ruston walked over and greeted those people familiarly. After returning, he said, "The place where I was trapped was about 15 miles from here. The car can''t go any further. We can only walk or Ride a mountain bike over."


    "Let''s walk."


    Natalie, who was standing behind an off-road vehicle packing her bags, looked over, "We don''t have such good car skills."


    "This is the Natural Geology Museum"


    Carrying a large mountain bag on his back, Taylor walked out from behind an off-road vehicle, deliberately using an aria, and exclaimed, "It is a place of adventure for hikers to challenge themselves, and it is also a place where modern American civilization has very little involvement. One of the parks."


    "Are you ready?" She jumped onto a piece of weathered red sandstone and raised her arms. "Get ready to enjoy this journey."


    Giving a thumbs up to the crazy talking Tyler, Ryan walked to the car to take his backpack and put it on his shoulder.


    For Taylor, this will be a rare and even the last journey of freedom. She is about to embark on the path of stardom like Scarlett Johansson and others. The future will be surrounded by countless paparazzi and flashing lights. The freedom of the past is about to become a thing of the past.


    In fact, if you go around in a circle, the off-road vehicle can still drive to deeper canyons, but the purpose of Ryan''s group is not only to play, but more importantly, under the leadership of Alan Ruston, along the road He walked the original path to investigate the possibility of shooting on the spot.


    Natalie and Scarlett each took a DVD. Most of the time they were shooting while walking, especially Natalie, who often called to stop the team and asked Alan Ruston for a few words. With the assistance of, climbed to the highest point on the roadside to take pictures of some landscapes.


    The area here is vast and the weather is varied. There are many places in the park that are very remote and no one has set foot. The destination of Ryan and the others is the Blue John Canyon which is located on the edge of the western part of the park.


    As the journey progresses, apart from rocks, sand and grass, there are almost no other sights. The path under your feet gradually turns into a canyon, and the rock walls on both sides are getting higher and higher and more rugged.


    Looking up from all sides, one place and one scene, this is the function of the sun projected in.


    The rock quality of the rock wall is not very hard. It is very similar to the kind of red clay that will be extremely sticky when exposed to water. There is sand in it. After years of rain washing, it has formed the weird look now.


    "This area has loose sand and difficult roads. The canyons are deep and narrow." Alan Ruston is agile and strong. He is obviously a good player in field sports. Although he broke an arm, he didn''t see any influence. Pointing to the surroundings and introducing Natalie, "The sandstone here may slip or move at any time. Even in summer, the temperature difference between day and night can reach more than 50 degrees Fahrenheit."


    "It''s hard to imagine how you survived five days and five nights."


    Tyler grabbed Ryan, leaned on his shoulders, took off his sneakers, and poured out the small gravel that had fallen inside. "If I change to me, just the feeling of loneliness will break me."


    "When a person is facing a desperate situation." Alan Ruston first glanced at the blue sky, then at his girlfriend who talked little around him, "Miss Swift..."


    "Taylor, just call me Taylor."


    "Well, Taylor." He said with emotion, "There will be two ways of courage and despair. Human beings are never weak. I have always believed in this."


    "Allen." Ryan saw Natalie and Scarlett panting slightly, and reminded, "Find a place to rest for a while."


    "There is a **** ahead." Alan Ruston took the lead.


    You can faintly see the rock wall on the side of the canyon, as if suddenly cut off by someone, lying on the ground at a thirty-degree angle, not only dodging the cold wind passing by in the canyon, but also the golden sunlight , Spread on it like a carpet.


    After traveling southward against the wind for a few minutes, Ryan and others arrived at this fairly ideal resting place. The group took off their backpacks and climbed up one after another, sitting scattered on the slope, enjoying the warm sunshine.


    "Cold?"


    Taking off his gloves, Ryan quickly rubbed his palms, and when he felt the heat, he forced a breath of heat in the palm of his hand, covering Natalie''s blushing face by the wind.


    Feeling the coldness on her face, Ryan said distressedly, "I''ve said it all, I''ll do it, you have to do it yourself."


    "I need enough material to make my own shooting more feel." Natalie leaned on him and said playfully, "You invested so much money, if you mess up, I can''t afford to lose it."


    "Don''t you just mortgage yourself to Ryan?"


    There came Tyler¡¯s joking words She and Scarlett came over with a few pieces of dark chocolate, and after each handed over one piece, they sat across from them, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Nat. Only 20 million dollars in investment."


    Scarlett nodded and said in agreement, "Don''t forget, some directors have invested more than 50 million US dollars in their first films, Nat, this pressure is nothing."


    "With your support." Natalie patted her chest lightly. "I feel confident in it."


    "That... are you talking about movies?"


    Seeing Alan Aston walking by, Ryan made a random gesture to him, "Yes, we are discussing funding issues."


    "Can you ask a question?"


    He took the dark chocolate that Taylor handed over and said thank you. After Natalie nodded, he said, "Who is the hero of the movie?" (To be continued...)()

 Chapter 652： Movie theme song

    "Oh, finally down."


    Squeezing the dv to Ryan, Natalie panted slightly and looked up. The sixty-foot-high rock wall seemed to be nothing, but for pure amateurs like them, it was almost an insurmountable moat. .


    This is the exit of Blue John Canyon. After investigating the place where Alan Ruston had broken his arm to survive, the group of them came to the survival path that the other side had walked.


    Of course, people like Ryan didn''t know anything about mountaineering. They wouldn''t be like Alan Ruston when they descended to the bottom of a sixty-foot deep valley, but went around here from a distance.


    "I was facing severe blood loss at the beginning." Alan Ruston stood among the crowd and introduced the experience. "In order to grab time, I could only choose the nearest road, and I almost fell off a few times in the middle."


    John¡¯s bodyguards looked at him with a little admiration. A man who had just cut his arm with a blunt knife, completed this usually difficult rope descent with strong perseverance, and ran for five miles alone, and was finally rescued. ¡­


    If you replace them with people who have experienced rigorous training, I''m afraid they may not be able to do all of them.


    "And here."


    He retracted his gaze from above, and pointed to the place where Taylor was standing. It was a small piece of low-lying land. "There was a lot of water here. The first thing I did after I got down was to soak my head in the smelly water. in."


    "cough¡­"


    Scarlett had just drank her saliva, and when she heard this, she coughed up immediately.


    For people like her and Taylor who have lived in a wealthy and wealthy environment since childhood, such a picture is simply unimaginable.


    After a simple circle at the bottom of this valley, everyone started on the road again. It was too early. They had to return to the camp before dark, otherwise the sudden drop in temperature at night would cause a lot of trouble.


    "Do you have any thoughts?" Ryan asked Natalie in a low voice.


    The two people walked behind the team, they were very familiar with each other. From the moment he entered the Blue John Canyon, Ryan felt that Natalie had some ideas.


    ¡°It¡¯s a bit difficult to shoot on the spot.¡± Natalie temporarily put away the dv, ¡°but it¡¯s not impossible to solve it. A portable camera is a must. The canyon is too narrow, and the scene where Allen is trapped is best shot in the studio. As for the wide-angle lens, we can rent a helicopter to view the view."


    "Long mirror, deep mirror, handheld camera, and some selfies of the male protagonist..." Natalie took Ryan and handed over the energy drink, took a sip, and continued. "This is a one-man show. I think the documentary approach is the most appropriate choice."


    "You are the director." Ryan took the bottle that Natalie had returned and stuffed it into the bag behind him. "It''s up to you to decide."


    "But..." Natalie stretched out her free hand and took his arm. "The script and the story itself are too thin. I need a male protagonist who can support the entire movie."


    When I was resting on the slope, I briefly discussed this issue, but did not come to a conclusion.


    Those brown eyes fell on his face without knowing it. The corners of Ryan''s mouth couldn''t help but twitched, "Honey, don''t you want me to play Allen?"


    "As a director and producer." Natalie said very seriously, "I formally invite you. The crew of "The Dilemma of Life and Death" is looking forward to your joining."


    "Can I say sorry?"


    Seeing Natalie''s slowly drooping eyelids, Ryan gently squeezed her tall nose, "Well, I''ll notify Pat when I turn around. Negotiate a contract with Touchstone Pictures."


    "Yeah~"


    Nodding vigorously, Natalie stopped, turned around and kissed Ryan **** the cheek. "I knew you were the best to me."


    "Hurry up, we''re already behind." Ryan grabbed her hand and accelerated her feet a bit. Natalie patted his firm chest. "Also, Ryan, you want to go back. Lose some weight."


    "I understand." Ryan made a okay gesture to her, "People who have been trapped for five days and five nights can''t be as strong as me."


    The two looked at each other and showed a tacit smile.


    "When Allen was trapped, he took a day''s life diary for himself."


    Although speeding up the pace of catching up with the large forces in front, Natalie still continues the topic of the movie, "He promised to provide us with this record, but it cannot be passed on."


    "These are just minor problems."


    Turning the corner of the canyon, Ryan saw that Taylor and the others seemed to be watching the rock wall next to him, and he slowed down a little, "If the film propaganda needs it, I can make him a national hero like Antonio Mendez. "


    Although she didn''t answer the conversation, Natalie knew that Ryan was not exaggerating at all, and he had this ability now.


    The two of them caught up with the big group and looked at the rock wall. They were some rock paintings with simple patterns, but with a primitive simplicity unique to history.


    "This is a trace left by the ancient Indians." Alan Ruston pointed to some human-shaped line patterns and explained, "Five hundred years ago, this was a mysterious Indian settlement. They did not have their own words. The tribal elders used simple patterns to record the major events that occurred."


    Listening to the other party''s introduction, Ryan is coming to Scarlett''s dv and assisting Natalie to shoot together.


    Tyler in the crowd suddenly put his hands on his chest and walked toward the rock wall, seeming to want to see more real, his big sapphire eyes stared at the humanoid drawings representing the Indians, and subconsciously bit his right hand. Index finger.


    "Quiet!" Scarlett whispered, "Everyone keep quiet, she may be inspired."


    Except for Alan Ruston and his girlfriend, everyone else is very familiar with Taylor, so naturally they won''t do anything at this time.


    When Ryan saw it, he waved his hands to the crowd and signaled them to take a break first. It is estimated that they will not be able to leave in a short time.


    Sure enough, Taylor quickly took the pen and notebook out of his backpack, and he would draw it for a while from time to time, and occasionally some untuned notes would pop out of his mouth.


    "Indians..." The mumbled words were also inexplicable, "Alan Ruston... life and death dilemma... life? Love? Freedom? Desire?"


    Except for the whirring wind and the strange sound made by Taylor, the canyon became extremely quiet. After this strange state was maintained for nearly forty minutes, Taylor closed his notebook and took a breath.


    "Done?" Ryan walked over.


    "It''s almost there." Taylor turned his head and said to the rest of the group, "Sorry, everyone has been waiting so long, we can go."


    After about five minutes, everyone walked out of the canyon, the sound of the wind almost disappeared, and the light from the sun that moved to the west fell on the body warmly.


    "Want to listen to a song?" Taylor temporarily hung his backpack on Ryan''s shoulder, "I wrote this new song."


    "of course."


    Without waiting for Ryan to speak, Natalie and Scarlett clapped their palms first, and when Alan Aston heard about it, they also yelled.


    "The tune and lyrics may have some flaws."


    Tyler made a few words of humility, and after trying his voice, he spit out an open and flexible singing voice.


    "What do you make a living on, I am not interested, I want to know what you desire, do you dare to dream of the desire in your heart."


    "How old are you, I am not interested. I want to know if you are willing to take risks, looking like a fool, for love, for your dreams, for the adventures of life."


    "Why the planet is parallel to your moon, I am not interested. I want to know if you touched the core of your sorrow, if you were opened up by the betrayal of life, or became withered, for fear of more pain ."


    This is just a new song that has just been written and has not been modified. When Taylor sings, the tunes are occasionally scattered, and the lyrics are not perfect, but the artistic conception contained in the music and lyrics can touch people''s hearts, which is so much more. Some feelings.


    "I want to know if you can live with pain, whether it''s yours or mine, and don''t want to hide it, eliminate it, fix it."


    "I want to know if you can live with joy, whether it is yours or mine, can you dance with the wild, let the passion fill your fingertips to toes, instead of warning us to be careful, Be practical and remember the limitations of being a person."


    It seems that I really feel the experience of the Indians and Alan Ruston¡¯s dilemma. The new song written by the girl is very different from her past style, and I can hardly hear the kind of fullness. Infinite joyful tunes and lyrics.


    "I''m not interested in whether the story you told me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint others in order to be sincere to yourself, and if you can bear the accusation of betrayal without betraying your soul. I want to know Can you be faithful and trustworthy."


    "I want to know if you can see beauty, although not every day, can you find your source from where your life is..."


    "That''s it for the time being." Taylor looked at his friends next to him, "I need to modify it later."


    "Very good, dear."


    Ryan walked over, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com gently rubbed her little head wearing a cotton cap, "Very contagious songs, especially the lyrics, are very, very good!"


    "Yeah, it''s great." Natalie also walked over here, she frowned, thought about it for a few seconds, and said as she walked, "I think this song is very good as the theme song for the movie. what about you?"


    Her questioning eyes swept across Ryan and Alan Ruston.


    "I think it''s appropriate." Alan Aston nodded in agreement, and then said, "Of course, you are professionals, I''m just suggesting."


    "As long as Alison agrees." With an elegant shrug to Natalie, Ryan lowered his shoulders slightly and asked Taylor to take the backpack back. "I think it''s totally feasible."


    As for Miss Swift''s opinion, she would definitely not shake her head in front of Natalie.


    The rest of the day, Ryan and his team became ordinary tourists in Canyon National Park. Under the leadership of Alan Ruston, they visited the Golden Ladder, Elephant Gap, Devil''s Pond and the famous high-altitude island. Returned to Los Angeles early Monday morning. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 653： She is Taylor Swift

    The seventeen-year-old Phillips walked out of the theater and waved goodbye to his friends. After entering the parking lot, he found his second-hand Ford. After several fires, he started the car and drove towards his home in Valencia.


    He is an authentic Los Angeles native. Today, he met his friends to watch "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". This is the third time he and his friends have entered the theater, but he didn''t even get bored. Also agreed to watch it again before Christmas.


    Like most people of this age, they are people who grew up watching the "Harry Potter" series and the "Ryan Tales". No works have replaced these in their minds. Ryan is their best People who admire, read his books, watch his movies, listen to his songs...


    Well, this is the biggest regret. Ryan completely threw music aside when he grew up. They could only take a few old songs and miss the time they had never experienced.


    Phillips'' brother once said to him that he had participated in Ryan''s new song conference in Santa Monica Commercial Plaza that year. Tens of thousands of people gathered in a small square and the shouts almost overturned the entire Saint Monica. Card city.


    Although there are many singers now, Phillips always feels that nothing can make up for this regret.


    He just got his driver''s license. He didn''t drive fast. When he got home, it was already more than ten o''clock in the evening. He walked through the living room lightly and entered the room on the second floor. Phillips breathed a sigh of relief.


    Today is Saturday. He didn''t want to go to bed so early. He sat at the desk and turned on the computer.


    Looking at the World of Warcraft icon on the desktop, Phillips shook his head vigorously, warned him not to indulge in the game, and then opened the browser.


    Suddenly, he remembered something before saying goodbye to his friends. Some people have said that "The Hunger Games" seems to have released the latest filming highlights. This novel with Ryan provided creativity and outline is also very popular with their group of people, and he also starred in the movie version. It is said that a few of the movies The protagonist, all his best friends...


    Even the heroine is the former Queen of Amidala, so it''s weird not to attract attention.


    Thinking about this, Phillips opened Google, typed in The Hunger Games, and hit enter. A series of related news appeared on the webpage, but the first one pointed to it.


    Is the trailer released?


    No wonder he thinks so. In recent years, the movie and trailers produced by Ryan are all on this video website, and this website is now the largest and most popular video sharing website in the United States.


    Without any hesitation, Phillips immediately opened the link. The web page that was swiped out was a video, and the account of the video publisher was just like the trailers of the past movies. It¡¯s ¡®Ryan Jenkins¡¯.


    "The Hunger Games theme song?"


    Scratching his face, Phillips opened his eyes wide and pricked his ears.


    The first sound was pure acoustic guitar accompaniment, and the gloomy sky on the screen. Just like the twelve districts described in the novel, in this gloomy tone, a slender and tall blond girl in a white gauze skirt walked alone on a deserted path covered with fallen leaves.


    What comes with it is ethereal, intoxicating, without any bubbles. Clean singing like an elf.


    "I remember tears running down your cheeks,


    When I say I will never let go of your hand,


    All the shadows will almost obscure your light.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    But all this will turn into dust tonight..."


    Frankly speaking, Phillips is not a country music lover, but this pure singing voice deeply attracted him.


    Well, he admitted that the girl in the picture is too beautiful, as if Arwen walked out of Middle-earth.


    "Close your eyes,


    The sun is slowly sinking,


    Don¡¯t worry, my dear, no one can hurt you at this moment,


    When the morning light appears tomorrow, we will all be safe and sound! "


    The singing voice was as beautiful as that girl. Listening to this country-style song, Phillips only thought of two things. One was the love triangle between Katniss and Gail and Pita in the novel, and the other was...


    Who is this girl?


    Even if he doesn''t catch a lot of country-style songs, he has to admit that he likes this song very much, and a little bit like this strange female singer in mv, but the video does not show the other party''s name from beginning to end.


    Who is this female singer who is obviously a newcomer?


    Phillips dragged the mouse down. The video was uploaded today. The number of clicks has exceeded 500,000 and the number of comments has reached thousands.


    This is the charm of the name ¡®Ryan Jenkins¡¯.


    After sighing with emotion, what Phillips desperately wants to know is the name of the female singer, and the comments below the video are mainly aimed at this aspect.


    "Who is she? Which company''s singer? What''s her name?"


    "Very nice song, this is the theme song of "The Hunger Games"? Great, can anyone tell me where this girl came from?".


    "Is it a new female singer from Hollywood Records?"


    "My mother''s friend''s brother, who works in the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, said that this female singer is a newcomer that Disney is all about."


    In short, all kinds of speculation are flooded below.


    Afterwards, Phillips went to Ryan''s official website again. On the message board above, many people left similar questions but did not answer them clearly.


    Carrying the same questions as those on the Internet, Phillips turned off the computer, took off his clothes and went to bed, leaving all questions to be resolved tomorrow.


    "Romeo, take me away, together to a place where we can hug each other,


    I''ve been waiting, only to escape can we get rid of the shackles,


    We can live together happily like a prince and a princess,


    What a beautiful love story, honey, promise me. "


    The next day, as soon as I got up and walked into the living room, I heard cheerful singing from the TV. Phillips rubbed his eyes and felt that the sound was unusually familiar, as if it was the one that had been lingering in his ears last night. The girl''s voice is just a change of song.


    He walked quickly to the TV, his eyes widened. In the mv broadcast on the mtv channel, it was indeed the rookie female singer of yesterday, but she turned into a European court costume, the same fresh and beautiful.


    "Who is she?" He asked the brother sitting on the sofa, who shook his head, "I also want to know who she is?"


    Two songs, two mvs, a tall and beautiful girl, and in the following days, all the media related to music and entertainment can be seen everywhere.


    Disney TV broadcasts during prime time every day, mtv channel fully promotes it, radio dj strongly recommends it, record store will play it at least half an hour, and the Internet is full of various news about two songs.


    Although the name of the singer has not been exposed, everyone knows that in this era of gradual decline in the recording industry, it must be a newcomer introduced by a major company that can be recommended with such a fierce publicity offensive.


    Most people in the industry know who she is, and know that she will take the front of the stage sooner or later, and know who is standing behind her, how strong the thrust will be, and most importantly, the girl¡¯s musical talent has long been It has been recognized by several major record companies.


    If she were not the sister of Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman, the person who came to her to negotiate a contract would have already crossed the threshold.


    Now that Ryan said hello in advance, and only kept silent for two days, they temporarily chose to watch.


    Therefore, at the beginning of the new week, Disney¡¯s major media, from paper to television, from print to the Internet, launched the strongest star-making movement in Disney¡¯s history, and the girl¡¯s talent and potential cannot be wiped out by herself. The lost Disney traces are also worthy of them.


    "She showed amazing creative talent in her childhood."


    "She, the frustration in studying music didn''t break her down."


    "She got her first job when she was 13 years old, writing songs for others."


    "She, an observer of life, captures inspiration in reality."


    "She is a dream girl, she is a special girl, she is also an ordinary girl."


    "She is Taylor Swift!"


    Along with the first two singles released, this slogan written by Ryan, in addition to Disney''s media, also appeared in an important position on the entertainment page of major mainstream media.


    Since Taylor has unswervingly chosen the path of pop music, just like Ryan helped her write "ry" in advance, he will definitely help her take a higher position.


    In this era of eyeball economy, publicity is an indispensable means to become famous.


    In the next few days, Taylor appeared on one of the signature shows "Good Morning America" ??for two consecutive days sang in Times Square...


    This is definitely the biggest new singer in history to make a publicity. Even when Disney built the first record for Ryan, it was far worse than it is now.


    With the massive publicity, Taylor''s outstanding musical talent, and some actions by Ryan in private, when Friday came and the billboard changed the charts, the two singles won the billboard double championship.


    "Ry" airborne the No. 1 spot on the billboard singles chart, and "safe&" got the first place in the country category, setting a new record for a new singer to release a single.


    Countless music critics have fallen short of their eyes. Such a powerful new singer has never appeared in the history of pop music.


    With his fresh and beautiful appearance, smart singing voice, catchy songs, coupled with the entire Disney''s spare no effort in publicity, Taylor has gathered a large number of fans, especially young fans, in just half a month.


    When she stood on the viewing platform of the Empire State Building in New York to hold the debut ceremony of her first album "Taylor Swift", not only hundreds of media appeared, but thousands of fans surrounded upstairs and downstairs. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 654： 2 hot topics

    On December 13, Taylor''s 15th birthday, her eponymous album "Taylor Swift" was officially released.


    This is Taylor Swift¡¯s moment. Ryan and others did not appear on the viewing platform of the Empire State Building. Instead, they prepared a grand party in the banquet hall of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The small celebration party is also her birthday party.


    Of course, there is no shortage of superstars in her album debut. In order to fulfill her promise, Leonardo DiCaprio made a gorgeous appearance as a dancer.


    This debut ceremony not only gathered a large number of media, but also broadcast live to the United States through Disney TV.


    "Why is your face always ugly?"


    Walking to the corner of the banquet hall, Drew Barrymore sat next to Ryan and deliberately said, "Is there any problem that I need to solve for you? Or is there anything I need to convey?"


    "Drew!" Ryan made a threatening gesture of wiping her throat, and the other side shrugged indifferently, "You are still so boring, I''ll go to Gwynne."


    This is one of the most critical moments in Taylor¡¯s life. Almost all people in Ryan¡¯s circle have arrived, Melanie Sloan and Scarlett Johansson, Julius Stewart and Kristen Stewart, Scott The Swifts, Pie Kingsley and her new boyfriends, Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow, sisters Paris Hilton, James Cameron...


    Also, as a person who loves Taylor, Nicole will definitely not be absent.


    In addition, not only Charlize Theron, who was busy opening a shop on Fifth Avenue, came, but even Natalie, who was busy preparing for "The Dilemma of Life and Death," also appeared in the banquet hall.


    They are one of the people who have the best relationship with Taylor.


    However, the three people had no communication as before.


    It was not appropriate to stand on either side, Ryan simply sat in this corner alone, watching Taylor, who was shining brightly on the TV.


    Although "Safe&" was rated as the most beautiful ballad by the famous music critic Jody Rosen of "Rolling Stone" magazine, Taylor includes most of his songs including "ry" and "My Season". Obviously more popular.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    "Hi, Gwyneth."


    Drew pulled Gwyneth Paltrow back again, and Ryan pointed to the chair across the table. "Just sit down."


    "Where is Apple?" Ryan asked about her and Chris Martin''s daughter, the Miss Apple.


    "In the room, it is looked after by a nanny."


    When Gwyneth had just finished speaking, Drew stabbed her and teased, "You are the winner of life now. Your husband, daughter, and family are all enviable."


    "Then when will you marry yourself again?" Gwyneth counterattacked unceremoniously.


    "I didn''t think about it." Drew picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "Now I think it''s nice to be alone, so I don''t need to think about it. All my energy can be devoted to career."


    "By the way, Drew." Ryan suddenly remembered the movie he had handed over to Flower Pictures, "How is Ann Lee''s progress?"


    "Take Heath Ledger and Jack Gyllenhaal two cowboys to Montana."


    Seeing Ryan nodding, she said to Gwyneth Paltrow, "I heard that you signed a long-term contract with Marvel?"


    "Signed six contracts."


    Here are my own people. Gwyneth Paltrow didn''t have any evasions, and said directly, "Three "Iron Man" and three more to be determined. If nothing else, it will be "The Avengers" that Ryan said."


    "Pepper Potts?" Drew put down his glass and asked Ryan, "When will the shooting start?"


    "After the New Year." Ryan''s gaze was collected from the three women who had no intersection in the distance. "We are waiting for Jon Feiru to finish our current job."


    The director impressed Ryan too deeply. In his previous life, he also played a guest role as Tony Stark¡¯s bodyguard, Harpy.


    As for Pepper, Ryan¡¯s initial candidate was Charlize, but unfortunately she only wanted to keep shooting one film a year in order to focus more on the fashion business, so she agreed with Gwyneth Pat, who was finalized in surprise. Luo.


    "What about you. Drew."


    When talking about work, Ryan took a lot of seriousness, "I heard that your persuasion work has made progress?"


    "Sylvester Stallone promised that if I can persuade others, he will cut his salary and act as the director." Drew squeezed his eyebrows, and seemed to have a headache. "Arnold Schwarzenegger''s guest appearance is not a big problem, but others are more troublesome. Bruce Willis also has an appointment for Die Hard. Jeter Lee insists on a 15 million US dollar salary... "


    "What do you want to do?" Gwyneth asked curiously.


    "Gather all the veteran action superstars together." Ryan made a fist and gestured in a free-fighting posture, "make a super action blockbuster."


    "You two are crazy..."


    "Taylor is back."


    Drew, who was sitting facing the door, reminded that Ryan and the others got up and walked over there.


    The six-foot-ten-inch girl was dressed up in beautiful costumes, as eye-catching as an elf. After entering the banquet hall, she hugged her relatives and friends one by one and accepted their blessings.


    "My dear, we are proud of you."


    Ryan gave her a light hug, "Perfect starter."


    This kind of moment should belong to Taylor and her parents. Ryan quickly stepped aside and watched the girl excitedly embrace her father, mother and younger brother.


    "Alison has grown up."


    Nicole''s voice came from beside her, and she said emotionally, "She is about to spread her wings and fly into the sky."


    "Isn''t this something we have been looking forward to?"


    Maybe it just originated from evil tastes at first, but people are affectionate. After more than ten years of getting along, Ryan has long regarded her as a relative.


    After Taylor over there hugged Austin Swift, he suddenly turned and walked over. First, he hugged Ryan hard, and then went into Nicole''s arms as he did when he was a child, and said loudly, "I love you! "


    "My dear, we love you too!"


    The party did not last long. Tyler, who had finished the album release, was obviously a little tired. In addition, he would embark on a national publicity tour tomorrow. After more than half an hour, everyone dispersed.


    In the end, Ryan left Tyler.


    "Alison..." Ryan solemnly made the final instructions, "Nicole said, her Boeing plane is temporarily for you to use, and Pat will accompany you in the first few stations of the promotion. Ask her if you have any questions. ."


    "My dear brother Ryan." Sitting on the sofa with his arms folded, Tyler rolled his eyes, "You are really old, you are more verbose than before."


    "Because you have grown up." Ryan walked over and rubbed her blonde hair. "I won''t have a chance to be wordy in the future."


    "And..." Ryan said seriously after she lost her faint feelings. "You are not allowed to leave the bodyguard''s sight when you go out. I contacted you. After the first week of record sales is announced, Time Magazine will have a cover interview. When I returned to Los Angeles, there was also Anne¡¯s talk show."


    "Yeah~" The girl nodded hard, "I remember!"


    "Okay, go and rest now."


    Ryan pulled her up from the chair, walked out of the banquet hall together, through the special elevator, to the suite on the top floor.


    "go to sleep."


    After getting out of the elevator, Ryan patted her on the back. Taylor hesitated and said, "I''ll go to Scarlett first. She just said she was looking for me."


    "Don''t make it too late!"


    The two girls grew up arguing and grew up, and sometimes it was lawless to play.


    On the second day, starting from Times Square, Taylor embarked on a national publicity journey that is essential for every singer to release records. The Disney Group, which dominates the youth market, invested a lot of media resources in her, and every time she arrived In one place, there will always be a heavyweight to help her out.


    Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore and others have appeared at her signing events in different cities, even Los Angeles. At that station, Ryan personally appeared on the stage to accompany her, although there were a few missing sounds in the middle, it caused a sensation.


    Although some media say sour words, the treatment that Taylor enjoys is never seen in the history of pop music by a rookie singer.


    These have also brought about the sales of record horror.


    "Taylor Swift" sold 1.287 million copies in the first week, becoming the second highest-selling solo album of a female singer in the first week of all time. It was praised and recommended by most music critics, among which Rolling Stone magazine gave it A high rating of four and a half stars or nine points.


    Although the album sales dropped to more than 400,000 copies in the second week, it has to be said that this is a miracle in today''s rapid decline in the recording industry.


    "Vanity Fair", "Time", "Annie Talk Show", "Good Morning America" ??and other famous programs, followed by Taylor''s figure This young girl, with a fresh and beautiful image and tactful and smart Singing has swept North America in just a few weeks.


    Of course, her huge network of connections was also exposed, and it is inevitable that some people will start to say that Taylor Swift''s rapid popularity is all because of having a good family...


    However, there is a question that cannot be avoided. If Taylor''s music is not good enough, can she be so popular among teenagers in the United States?


    In the second half of 2004, two hot topics swept the United States.


    One is because of the Iran incident triggered by "Argo", and the other is the popularity of the album "Taylor Swift".


    "When she was eight years old, she began to practice guitar hard, for at least four hours a day, she often played her fingers and bleeds. She began to try composing at the age of eleven, determined to enter the music scene, and sold two songs when she was 13. Before joining Hollywood Records, when she was trained at Warner Records, she actually showed a talent that surpassed all her peers."


    The music director of Warner Records, in an interview, talked about Taylor, his tone was full of pity, such an excellent singer eventually did not stay at Warner Records. ()

 Chapter 655： Disneys oldest princess

    Another year is coming to an end. In the past twelve months, the world situation has been turbulent, many of which are closely connected with Hollywood.


    The federal government finally settled Afghanistan and Iraq temporarily. Iran jumped out again and launched a public opinion war against the American culture represented by Hollywood. Although Iran was finally disgraced, they restarted the nuclear test, which caused further turmoil in the Middle East. disturbed.


    The cause of everything is because of a movie, the political influence of "Argo" far exceeds Ryan''s expectations.


    He did not expect that the nerves of the Iranian government should be so sensitive. Think about the universe''s first military power that has been infinitely discredited by Hollywood. No matter what remarks made here, those fat guys are always standing still.


    Of course, if anyone irritates them, they will go to beat the largest country in the universe. This trick can be described as a time-tested trick.


    No matter who provokes me, I will beat the people in the south. This is the best villain in the movie.


    After Christmas, "Argo" was released from the last 15 theaters and ended its screening in North America.


    Thanks to the Iranians¡¯ cheering, the movie¡¯s final North American box office reached 215.05 million U.S. dollars. Together with the overseas regions that have already been screened, the global box office is infinitely close to 350 million U.S. dollars.


    However, most of the overseas regions where the film can be released have been released. Countries that have not yet released it will basically not introduce this kind of extremely politically strong film, and the final box office will be the same.


    However, with a total investment of more than 60 million US dollars, the global box office of more than 300 million US dollars was returned, which is definitely a typical example of small costs and high returns.


    After excluding a series of cast and crew fees, including the US$20 million in box office shares paid to Ryan, Disney will still have a profit of about US$40 million in the box office. In recent years, it is true. It''s rare.


    If this is not a specific theme, Disney wants to make a sequel.


    Maybe when Antonio Mendez¡¯s other memoirs come out, we can continue to cooperate?


    Sitting in an office chair, Ryan read the latest release report of "Argo". Still doing this kind of consideration.


    Of course, the biggest profit point of this film is still around. Ryan temporarily suppressed the TV and DVD copyrights of "Argo", and everything will be discussed after the Oscars ceremony more than two months later.


    Disney is actively involved in public relations for this film. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of getting the best film is very high.


    You know, the Iranian government lost its face in the battle of public opinion, and almost pointed to Hollywood¡¯s nose at the back, scolding Hollywood as a running dog spreading the idea of ??Great American imperialism. The federal government also has two aircraft carrier battle groups parked in the Persian Gulf. Politics has never been able to get rid of the relationship Oscar will make, in fact, there is no need to think about it.


    If there is an Iranian film that reflects social reality and participates in the Oscar competition, it will definitely win the best foreign language film, the Golden Man.


    Although after the Iranian government attacked Ryan, the media under its banner tried their best to discredit the Iranian government, but Ryan has never made any cross-line remarks in public. In his current position, some words cannot be easily said.


    What''s more, there is George Clooney as the director. He is very smart and understands what to do to increase the weight of his nomination for best director. While holding the young and beautiful female lawyer, she attacked the Iranian government for interfering in Hollywood''s creative freedom.


    Freedom, in this country, there is no more popular slogan than this word.


    After pressing the communicator and asking the secretary to deliver a new cup of coffee, Ryan turned his attention to other Disney projects.


    Disney''s new fairy tale project "Magic Romance" aroused his interest a little. Because the actor who played the **** princess is over thirty years old, this is definitely the oldest princess in Walt Disney''s history.


    However, after seeing the actor''s name, Ryan canceled his intention to intervene. Amy Adams was born with a baby face. As long as she puts on her makeup and plays the role of a princess under twenty years old, it is not a problem.


    Speaking of. The actress''s famous work "Cat and Mouse Game" was advanced by herself, perhaps this is also an alternative compensation.


    Later, he saw a proposal for Disney''s trial production of a 3D movie.


    This is a suggestion from the management department of Disney Pictures. I hope Disney, like Warner, will start work in this area as soon as possible.


    Ryan had already planned on this matter. "Jurassic Park 3" will be produced with 3D technology, allowing the dinosaurs to shock the world once again. The screenwriting team has already been writing the script. The story is not important, and the focus of the movie is the dinosaurs.


    When the Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor opened their mouths and bite in front of the audience, that kind of shock is simply a big killer in this era.


    This year¡¯s Christmas file, the 3D animation feature film "Polar Express" shot by Robert Zemeckis, from the character to the storyline, almost all complained by the audience, but there are still many people queuing to buy tickets, just because of that few. 3d cinema.


    The 3D effect shown in the film was criticized by professional film critics as a new behavior for businesses to make money, but the audience was full of praise. This is not the era when 3d gradually became popular. The few 3d movies in the past are mostly fake 3d reproduced later. , Such as "Polar Express" such an absolutely excellent 3D effect, the whole world nowadays is very rare.


    The most direct effect of this film is to drive the enthusiasm of Hollywood''s major production companies for 3d.


    Because Ryan and James Cameron hold most of the new 3d and imax patents, Disney naturally wants to maximize this advantage.


    As long as the later stages of "The Hunger Games" are completed, Catherine Kennedy will be transferred to the preparation of "Jurassic Park 3", and Ryan now considers the most about whether "Transformers" should be 3D.


    After thinking about it for a few seconds, Ryan shook his head, or waited until after talking with Michael Bay before making a decision.


    Unlike other media groups, the film industry is the core industry of Walt Disney. Most of its businesses, even including amusement parks and TV stations, are based on outstanding film and television works. Those projects that can drive peripheral products are the key productions of Disney. s work.


    For example, the global box office of "The Superman Family" exceeded 600 million US dollars, and the box office only recovered the cost. In the peripheral area, in just over half a year, Disney''s net profit was as high as 145 million US dollars. It doesn''t count the advertising fees that you receive when the film is broadcast on Disney TV.


    This is much worse than the "Harry Potter" series.


    "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" was released for one month, and the North American box office successfully exceeded 250 million U.S. dollars. During this period, the sales of peripheral products were close to 300 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to every U.S. dollar. Everyone has paid a dollar for the peripheral products of the film.


    Of course, looking at the history of Hollywood, peripheral products that can be compared with the "Harry Potter" series in terms of profitability are actually the "Star Wars" series.


    Before lunch, Ryan left the Disney headquarters building, rushed back to Beverly Hills, and went directly to Wilshire Boulevard where commercial buildings are concentrated. There are countless top department stores on this street, and nearby Beverly shopping. The center is also a favorite of many celebrities. There are nearly 180 specialty stores in the center.


    Among them, the one that has just been set up is the ¡®ct¡¯ fashion brand belonging to Charlize.


    South Africa Diamonds followed the advice of the business team. The brand''s foothold will not be luxury goods, nor does it have that heritage. The target consumer group is relatively civilian. In other words, it is the most important middle-class population in the United States.


    "I said, you are actually the best choice to be your own endorsement."


    The store has not yet opened. Ryan is standing in the middle of the store with his arms folded. Opposite is a large poster of Taylor and Charlize wearing jeans. The straight jeans set off their slender legs almost perfectly.


    "But at this stage, Alison is more attractive." Charlize stared at Taylor on the poster and said, "Adolescents all over the United States are going crazy for her."


    "You know, Ryan," she said again, "Alison just attended the ribbon cutting of the New York flagship store, and the stock that day was almost sold out by crazy young people."


    "How much endorsement fee did she charge?" Ryan laughed.


    "We haven''t talked about it in detail." Charlize shrugged and said indifferently, "but she said that you want 10% of your shares."


    "Let''s do it." Ryan thought for a while, "After she returns from the promotion, I will transfer the shares in my hands to you."


    He shook his finger and interrupted Charlize''s refusing to say, "Dear, you know, I don''t have the time, and I don''t have so much energy to invest in it, you need enough equity to attract talent."


    If a newly established fashion company wants to grow, it is impossible without sufficient investment and excellent team operation.


    "Okay It''s time for lunch." Ryan looked at his watch and pulled Charlize. "Nothing is more important than the body."


    "Will you treat me?" Charlize turned to look at him.


    "no problem."


    After Charlize confessed a few words to the person in charge of the store, Ryan took her out and said, "When I get home, I will cook myself."


    "Forget it."


    When he walked to Ryan, Charlize showed a terrifying expression, "It''s better to order a takeaway."


    Going down to the parking lot through the elevator, Ryan started the car and drove Charlize to the manor. The takeaway was not required. When he left Disney, he informed Lisa to let the manor chef prepare lunch.


    "Do you want to go back to South Africa after the New Year?" After turning off the busy Wilshire Boulevard, Ryan drove faster, Charlize slightly adjusted his seat belt and said, "Yes, mom wants to go home to see. I also want to bring the company''s products to South Africa, and also participate in an event of the 2010 World Cup Organizing Committee." ()

 Chapter 656： Alsace Menethil

    football?


    Hearing Charlize¡¯s words, Ryan remembered the team that he had forgotten for a long time. After buying Manchester United, he only went to the scene once, and the team¡¯s affairs were completely handed over to the management. The professional accountant team is in charge, and those people are not worried about any tricks.


    In the words of the British media, he is definitely the least caring of all the owners of the Premier League.


    However, with the passage of time, the original dissatisfaction of Manchester United fans gradually disappeared. In their eyes, it may be lucky that Manchester United have been handed over to Ryan.


    It has been several years since the completion of the acquisition. Not only did the Manchester United club not bear any debts, on the contrary, it has a large amount of money for signings every year.


    As Ryan promised, he has not earned a penny from Manchester United in these years. This is the world''s most profitable team. All of its revenue is invested in team building, and it has a large number of tickets in the Premier League. Under the premise of rising prices, Manchester United''s ticket prices have been stable, but at the mid-stream level of the Premier League.


    Ryan himself never thought of using Manchester United to make money, otherwise he would have sold the team.


    Some time ago, the Abu Dhabi consortium from the Middle East made tentative contact with him and offered to buy Manchester United at a price of 1.2 billion pounds, but he refused without hesitation.


    The other party is not short of money, even if it is true of their wealth, most of their wealth is reflected in the stock market, which is incomparable to these Middle Eastern tyrants, but Ryan is also not short of money. Manchester United is a good platform. You can use it to promote a variety of Disney products.


    For example, in the focus battle between Manchester United and Liverpool at Christmas, Taylor appeared on stage during halftime. For example, before the release of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", every Manchester United home game will be played on the big screen. trailer.


    Although this move has been criticized by many British football stars, Ryan doesn''t care at all. No matter what those people are clamoring in the media, he will not move.


    These people are not stupid, they just refer to Manchester United¡¯s business strategy and violation of British football tradition. He has never been directed against him, otherwise Ryan would not mind that the gossip tabloids under the News Corp. will reveal the old bottom of these famous players. England players, no matter how old or new, are professional...


    The Chinese team in Europe is more than just talk.


    There is also Beckham. After leaving Manchester United, she was not comfortable with Real Madrid. Victoria Beckham once asked Nicole to help manage the transfer of the other party to the Los Angeles Galaxy. She can''t wait to enter Hollywood. .


    Ryan just heard Nicole mention it. I didn''t care much. If Nicole was willing to help, the couple who barely broke into the upper class of Hollywood would have a much smoother future.


    After having lunch with Charlize, the two held hands, walked on the path between the palm trees in the manor, pacing slowly, enjoying a rare leisure time.


    The sparse palm trees are scattered in the garden, and the road paved with soft cobblestone from Italy stretches into the back garden. Under the sunlight at noon, all rays of light were reflected, scattered on the low iron trees, leaving little light spots on the dark green leaves.


    "This path."


    Charlize held Ryan in one hand. A finger pointed at the path in front of him, "Some time ago, I asked someone to re-paved it. The previous stone road was too long. Once rain or dew falls on it, it will be slippery."


    "As long as you like." Ryan stopped and looked at some strange trees nearby. Asked, "Is this just transplanted?"


    "Yes." Charlize lifted his feet, picked a green leaf, and stuffed it to Ryan, "This is Magnolia, the evergreen. I heard a friend introduce it specially from Florida. It is said that it can absorb fluorine. Some polluting gases, such as chemical compounds and sulfur dioxide, have the effect of freshening the air. Unfortunately, it will not bloom until May and June next year."


    For a long time, Charlize has regarded this as her home, and often improved and decorated the facilities in the manor according to her wishes. Ryan knew this and had not interfered. If she was happy, demolish all the houses in the manor. It¡¯s no big deal.


    "Stand here." Charlize pushed Ryan to the magnolia tree and took out a mobile phone from the pocket of his slacks, "Don''t move, let me take a picture."


    After the click of the shutter sounded from the mobile phone, Ryan walked over. The latest Motorola mobile phone that Charlize played with was the first time he saw a touch-screen smartphone in this world.


    Although Motorola launched the Tiantuo series of smart touch-screen mobile phones as early as 2000, Ryan has no interest in this difficult old antique compared to the smart phones used in the previous life.


    "This is Motorola a728."


    Seeing that Ryan was a little curious, Charlize simply stuffed the phone into his hand and explained, "It is not yet on the market. Motorola wants to ask me to endorse this phone. It sent me a few to try it out. Yes, if you need it, just ask Lisa directly."


    "What are you thinking about?"


    Seeing that Ryan was not paying attention to the phone, but in a trance, Charlize squeezed his arm, "Do you want to hit Motorola''s idea?"


    "Of course not." Ryan shrugged and returned the phone to Charlize. "Let''s go back."


    In the next few major social networks, he has become one of the major shareholders of ¡®¡¯, what about Twitter?


    Ryan just considered this issue. I vaguely remember that Twitter seems to be coming out soon, and that Twitter involves some patents and technologies in blogging. It seems to have a close relationship with the founder of the blog. Remember that the company''s operating status is not considered. How good is it? Let Disney check it back and buy it directly or get a controlling stake.


    By the way, ¡®¡®As the number of users increases, a new financing plan is about to begin, so Disney should try to get a foot in it.


    If possible, merge 30% of your own shares into Disney in order to get a controlling stake.


    Anyway, Disney is not inferior to Time Warner and News Corp in terms of traditional media, so it would be better to focus on the future network with unlimited potential.


    Of course, he can only provide a general direction, which will definitely involve a large number of very professional things, which will be handled by a professional team.


    Back at the villa, Charlize went to the dressing room and changed into a women''s slim-fitting suit. After coming out, he said to Ryan who was sitting on the sofa in the living room thinking about things, "I''m going to the company, and I''m going to a party organized by the Beverly Hills Business Association tonight. Don''t wait for me for dinner."


    "Ok."


    Ryan raised his head and looked at Charlize who was walking next to him. The South African Diamond leaned over and kissed his lips, waved out of the villa.


    Standing at the door of the villa and watching Charlize''s black Bentley drive out of the manor, Ryan returned to the second floor and opened the study door. Sitting in front of the laptop.


    After returning from New York, he began to write another script, because he had written a novel before, and he quickly compiled an outline.


    The script is not "Transformers", that kind of pure popcorn movie, he just provided the general idea, and the scriptwriters under his team were more than enough to deal with it.


    Yes, he has special feelings for this series, but does the storyline of the live-action movie matter? As long as it works in general logic.


    Ryan is thinking about it now. It was the movie version of the "Warcraft" script. For this series, he considered for a long time and has been thinking about the choice. Movies are not games after all. It is impossible to create so many heroes. It is a must to intercept a few of them as the main characters.


    And his protagonist. It fell on the head of Arthas Menethil, Prince of Lordaeron of the human kingdom.


    From the moment Alsace was born, he was destined to assume great responsibilities, under the influence of his predecessors'' excellent training and good family education. Arthas gradually grew into a good prince, kind, enthusiastic, upright, brave... He almost possessed all the good qualities that everyone in the kingdom would like him to have.


    The entire Kingdom of Lordaeron is proud of having such a prince.


    This is part of Ryan''s characterization of Alsace Menethil. If he wants to take up the hopes of all people and assume the responsibilities of the country he loves, he must have another thing-power!


    Slender fingers tapped the keyboard quickly, and lines of letters appeared in the document on the screen.


    The first act of the third scene.


    Time: The sun has just risen. Location: In front of a huge armor hanging in the training ground of the Lordaeron Palace, the rising sun illuminates the field.


    In the bright sunshine, Alsace''s blonde hair was more shiny, and he looked at the armor, his eyes full of desire and fantasy.


    Note: The camera zooms in-Alsace''s eyes show the inner world of the prince.


    The armor turned into a tall and savage orc who had been ravaging Lordaeron. The opponent was burning, looting and looting in the village of Steinblad. The young Arthas rushed up with a heavy hammer and used all his power with the orcs. He fought and successfully killed him, and more than a dozen villagers who fled the danger sent him heartfelt thanks and blessings.


    Alsace''s inner monologue: Power, only power can defend my country and people!


    The camera is zoomed out-back to reality With the fantasy, Arthas subconsciously made a fighting action against the armor. He is agile and very talented in this area.


    Camera transition-At the entrance of the training ground, Terenas Menethil II and the dwarf hero Muradin Bronzebeard stand there.


    Terenas: Muradin, I hope you can teach Alsace yourself in the next few years.


    Muradin? Bronze beard bowed slightly: This is my honour, Your Majesty.


    Camera revolving-In the training ground, a man of the same age rushed to Alsace''s side.


    Varian Wrynn: Arthas, I have good news for you, Jaina Proudmoore...


    In the next week or so, after work, Ryan invested a lot of time on this script, but after half a month into 2005, he had to go to China.


    Ryan accepted the invitation for an official visit from Shanghai. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 657： Sell ??popcorn to make money

    This time is an official visit. Ryan is not visiting as a Hollywood star, but the chairman and controlling party of Disney. In other words, unlike the previous pure film acts, this is a very formal business visit. .


    Because Disneyland is about to officially settle in Shanghai.


    After more than three years of operation and see-saw negotiations, the two sides on both sides of the Pacific finally reached a final agreement on the Shanghai Disneyland project. At the end of 2004, they also successfully passed the review of the high-level counterparts on the other side.


    One of the biggest purposes of Ryan''s trip was to sign the final agreement on behalf of Walt Disney.


    After he became the head of Disney, the group''s media, including TV stations, rarely made remarks against China. In addition, over the years, they have released enough goodwill to finally end this marathon negotiation as soon as possible.


    What''s more, Disney will invest at least RMB 30 billion in the entire project. In this place where the economy is in charge, how many officials will refuse such a large investment?


    From the moment the special plane landed at Pudong Airport, Ryan enjoyed the treatment that could only be seen in the previous life news broadcast. Needless to say, applause, welcome, and the shutter sound of the camera pressing, it is even more necessary for the young pioneers to present flowers. There are few projects. Fortunately, he is just a business person, and the reception ceremony is not too complicated.


    Afterwards, there will be a series of formulaic activities, the same as above. Haishi¡¯s chief and deputies meet, participate in receptions, and the formal dinner organized by Shanghai Haishang Federation and so on.


    Although I didn''t see April 8th, the person who is famous internationally for his acting skills flew in for an open formal meeting with him.


    As the third person on the Forbes list of rich people, China has given him enough attention, although in the eyes of some people, he is even more famous for not doing his job properly.


    Of course, this is a completely equal dialogue. Ryan only regards this side as a commercial opponent and partner, and even meets on all formal occasions. He used translators throughout.


    After decades of experience, Ryan is very, very clear that it is not the ability to speak Chinese and the liking of Chinese culture that determines the relationship between the two parties, only benefits!


    Even if he can speak fluent Chinese. These people who have cultivated to be refined will regard him as their own?


    Don''t be kidding, even if he donated Disney shares to this side, I''m afraid this side will stare at him with scrutiny, trying to see what conspiracy exists behind him.


    Interest is the only link that maintains the relationship between the two parties.


    To put it bluntly, after the completion of Shanghai Disneyland, both parties will be able to reap huge benefits from it.


    On the second day of his arrival, Disney and Shanghai Shanghai jointly held a press conference. On behalf of Disney and Shanghai Municipal Government, Ryan officially signed the "Disney Amusement Park Project and Memorandum", which will jointly Shanghai Hai. City Hall. The first one in mainland China, the second one in China, the third one in Asia, and the sixth Disney theme park in the world will be built in Pudong.


    Shanghai Disneyland covers an area of ??one thousand acres and has an investment of up to 5.5 billion US dollars.


    The core part of the park will be a theme park in the style of the Magic Kingdom. The entire park will present Disney''s classic stories and characters through seven theme parks including the Harry Potter area.


    After its completion, in addition to the highest and largest Disney castle "Fantasy Fairy Tale Castle" in Shanghai Disneyland, and the world¡¯s first pirate theme park "Pirate Bay" in Shanghai Disneyland, visitors in the future can also experience a "Ten" full of Chinese characteristics. Two Friends Garden". Many musicals, including "The Lion King" and "Toy Story", will be staged in the world-class Walt Disney Grand Theater in the form of the world''s first Mandarin version.


    There is also a free Disney town in front of the park, which is an indispensable project. It covers an area of ??up to 500,000 square feet, which is rich in food and various Disney related products. It has always been a major source of revenue for the park and a popular destination for Disney movie peripheral products.


    As for the construction funds, with the assistance of Shanghai, the Disney Group has easily obtained large concessional loans from several major state-owned banks here, both in terms of interest and repayment period. Far more cost-effective than financing from North America.


    You know, including some other projects settled in the surrounding area, the investment indirectly brought by Disneyland to Shanghai will reach RMB 100 billion.


    This is just investment. On the third day after Ryan officially signed the agreement, Shanghai held an on-site auction for several plots of land in Chuansha New Town, Pudong New District, near the park. Land prices in these places have doubled a full fifteen times, and after the completion of Shanghai Disneyland, at least 50,000 new jobs can be created for the local area.


    In addition, Disney agreed that in the future, students from various universities in Shanghai can go to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and participate in an international summer internship program sponsored by Disney to provide them with an opportunity to accumulate work experience in the travel industry. You can also get in touch with the career development plan of Shanghai Disney Resort.


    Hiring most of the local employees will save Disney a lot of labor costs.


    In short, the reason why the two sides can reach a final agreement as soon as possible is because they see the prospect of a win-win situation.


    After signing the agreement, Ryan''s trip to China was about to reach the end. Before leaving, he also met another person who flew here on a special trip.


    It was the chairman of Wanda who came over, and the two sides discussed nothing more than the issue of theater construction.


    As early as the beginning of last year, the joint venture theater company established by Disney and Wanda Group had been established. In March of the same year, the first Wanda Cinema of the joint venture was completed in Tianjin.


    The controlling shareholder of Wanda Cinemas is Wanda Investment Co., Ltd., which holds 340 million shares, accounting for 58% of the company¡¯s total share capital. Disney invests in technology and capital, which takes up 40% of the shares. It will not only help the cinemas provide learning and training Opportunities, such as 3d and imax technology, will give sufficient support.


    As part of the cooperation, after Disney''s films enter the Chinese market, Wanda will definitely give priority to ensuring the shifting demand of Disney films unless the superiors force the film to maintain the gear ratio.


    In the future, Wanda Cinemas will be located in cinemas in first-tier cities, and there will inevitably be no less than one imax3d cinema.


    The reason why Ryan chose Wanda is very simple. Wanda Cinemas is not only a theater company, but also a theater business. It can "eat" about 5% of the box office share of the theaters and about 50% of the theaters at the same time. This is only one point. Its profitability is higher than most cinema companies.


    More importantly, the operating model of bundling commercial real estate for joint development can be the key to the sustained high growth of Wanda Cinemas.


    Of course, if you ask Wanda Cinemas what is the most profitable project, it is definitely not movie tickets, but popcorn.


    In the last year of the previous life, in the theater where Ryan worked, the annual revenue of Popcorn reached 5.78 million yuan. Although it only accounted for 13.4% of the total revenue of the studio, the gross profit margin was 78%!


    The profit in this area completely exceeds the profit in the box office.


    He still remembered that some senior executives in the industry described some of the theaters in North America like this-using movies to attract audiences and relying on selling popcorn to make money.


    Whether it is a joking or not, but relying on selling products to earn part or even most of the profits is a true portrayal of most theaters.


    In this era of increasingly rich entertainment methods, like film producers, theaters want to rely solely on movie box office to make money, and it is becoming more and more difficult.


    Speaking of which, those selling products can also be regarded as part of the movie surroundings.


    In addition, the other party proposed a plan to build Oriental Hollywood, and Ryan also expressed his intention to cooperate. According to the inference of his previous life, the annual box office limit of China in the next ten years is about 3 billion to 4 billion US dollars, and with the copyright system The gradual improvement, the surrounding benefits can be described as unlimited potential.


    Dividing a big piece of cake from this market is definitely one of the business strategies he and Disney have been implementing.


    Afterwards, Ryan left Shanghai and flew directly to London.


    Taylor was doing publicity in London. He didn''t say hello in advance. He just wanted to come and see her. When the initial freshness disappeared, it was very hard to run the publicity announcement.


    But when he came to the Hilton Hotel in the evening and knocked on Taylor''s presidential suite, Scarlett Johansson appeared in front of him.


    "Scarlett, why are you here?" The girl opposite seemed unnatural.


    "I...I''m filming in Paris." Scarlett touched her face subconsciously, and quickly let Ryan into the room, "I''m over after taking a break these days."


    "Don''t you know?" Taylor walked out of the bedroom wearing a sloppy turtleneck sweater and a small yawn. "Scarlett took over the role of daughter in "Hurricane Rescue."


    "I think Liam Neeson must be wondering why he is so tall, but the daughter he gave birth to is so short."


    Muttering Taylor walked quickly to Ryan and hugged him hard, "I''m so tired, I miss you so much, I miss Nicole so much."


    "My dear." Ryan patted the girl''s back comfortingly, "We miss you too."


    Tyler''s head dropped, just like when he was a child, he habitually pressed his forehead on his shoulder a few times. At this moment, Ryan noticed that there seemed to be two light spots on Tyler''s neck under the collar. Purple imprint...


    Before he could see clearly, Taylor suddenly let go of him, rubbing his neck, and walking to Scarlett sitting on the sofa, complaining, "I blame you, Scarlett, you pinched my neck. It''s bruised!"


    "Hey, you provoked first, okay?" Scarlett stared at her.


    The two guys once again put on the appearance of cockfighting, Ryan couldn''t help covering his forehead, "Well, Scarlett, and Alison, have you ever had dinner?"


    "Not yet." The two girls shook their heads.


    "Go back and change clothes." Ryan shook his head in the direction of the bedroom, "Let''s go to dinner together." ()

 Chapter 658： This is an endless love

    After the simple outline of "Hurricane Rescue" was completed, Ryan just wrote a few suggestions and handed them to the screenwriter of Jenkins Pictures. Unexpectedly, after the script was retracted by Disney, he not only followed his suggestions and chose Liam? As the actor, Neeson also found Scarlett to play the role of his daughter.


    Fortunately, Scarlett is now the youngest and most beautiful, and he is only a cameo in "Captain America". The image of Black Widow has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There is nothing wrong with playing a 17-year-old weak girl. .


    Maybe like Taylor said, the height is too short and the body is too mature?


    These are all jokes, not a problem at all.


    That''s good. This stage of the previous life was Scarlett''s most difficult period. After the failure of "Escape from the Island Clone", a successful commercial production at the box office was enough to maintain current popularity.


    And "Princess Diaries 2" has also been put on the agenda by Disney. This is definitely the last one. As Scarlett gets older and the drama changes, this series will inevitably come to an end.


    "How does it feel to realize your dream?" Ryan asked Tyler.


    After having dinner in the western restaurant of the hotel, the three of them returned to the suite and sat chatting together.


    "Let¡¯s be exaggerated. I¡¯m so obsessed with this feeling." Tyler held Scarlet¡¯s hot coffee and sat cross-legged on the single sofa. "This feeling of everyone cheering for you and crazy for you, It''s almost like cocaine, it''s addictive."


    "I promise I haven''t smoked it!"


    When Ryan turned to look over, Taylor quickly raised his right hand, and Scarlett, who put down the coffee pot, added, "I can prove it too."


    "That''s not an exaggeration?"


    In addition to playing around, Taylor has always been reassuring, and Ryan also believes that even if she is like most teenagers in the United States. Occasionally dipped in hemp and other things will not become addictive.


    "Very tired!" Taylor said, leaning on the sofa, tilting his head, "I really want to go home and have a good night''s sleep."


    "Nicole said it." Ryan moved to the place on the couch closest to Taylor, rubbing her head distressedly, "When you go back, go out to sea together and relax for a few days where no one is disturbed."


    "Aren''t you going?" Tyler rubbed his curls against his palms, and Ryan slowly shook his head, "Honey. You know, I''m busier than you most of the time."


    Taylor curled his lips and muttered, "Fortunately, there are only three women."


    The voice seemed to be very low, but it could be heard by the remaining two people. Scarlett covered her mouth and smiled, while Ryan put her hands on her chest and looked at her with a tilted head.


    After sticking out his tongue, Taylor quickly changed the subject. "I read Scarlett''s script, wow, this story is so cool."


    "A furious father, in order to rescue his daughter. At any cost!" Scarlett added.


    "Why did you come up with such a story?" Tyler stabbed Ryan in the leg with his foot, "My dear brother Ryan!"


    "What do you think?" Ryan had no choice but to sit on the couch.


    "To show the great affection?" Scarlett said after taking a sip of coffee.


    Ryan shook his head.


    "To show the darkness of politics! To reveal the immigration problem in France!"


    Hear what Taylor said. Ryan could only secretly sigh that she deserves to be the younger sister he taught, and first think about the dark side when considering the problem.


    "Emotional compensation and redemption?" Scarlett said again.


    "Why is there such a story?" Ryan looked at Taylor pretendingly, "Although I don''t have a daughter. I have a sister who likes to be naughty and lawless."


    After sticking out his tongue, Taylor pursed his lips, holding back a smile.


    "So, I want to warn her." Ryan stretched out his fingers one by one, "First, listen to what Dad said; second, call Dad more; third, don''t strike up a conversation with a strange young man... ¡­"


    "I don''t associate with those who hate naivety," Taylor murmured.


    "Fourth, don''t associate with young girls who are bold and unfamiliar." Ryan extended his last thumb, "Fifth...this, forget it."


    "What''s the fifth, don''t you want to lose your appetite?" Taylor said dissatisfied.


    "Idiot! You read the script in the afternoon." Scarlett raised an eyebrow at Taylor, "I can''t even guess such a simple question."


    "Hey, fat girl." Tyler turned his head and stared at her, "I just scanned it roughly!"


    "Then I''ll tell you." Scarlett shook her head, making an expression that you are a fool, and said, "It''s very simple, the fifth is..."


    She looked at Ryan with a ridiculous smile on her face, "A virgin woman is equal to a chance to be rescued, not a virgin woman will suffer misfortune!"


    After speaking, she laughed out herself first, and Taylor also smiled and fell back on the sofa.


    "All right!"


    Looking at the time, Ryan stood up and walked towards the door, "The joke time is over, you should rest."


    "Are you leaving tomorrow?" Taylor chased up from behind, Ryan looked back at her, "Honey, there is a new movie waiting for me. If I don''t go back, Nat will probably go crazy."


    "I heard that after sitting in the director''s chair, people''s tempers will become stronger. I hope you won''t quarrel."


    When Ryan opened the door, Tyler came over, gave him a hard hug, and whispered, "I know..."


    "This is a kind of endless love!" She seemed to have returned to her childhood, "the only kind of love in the world is endless."


    Ryan rubbed her little head vigorously with his backhand, "Don''t worry about me and Nicole."


    "Yeah." She nodded solemnly.


    Back in his room, Ryan couldn''t help squeezing his slightly sour nose. When did this little guy become sensational?


    People always grow up. How many people will forget who their closest relatives are when they grow up? How many people will forget who really cares about them?


    In fact, what these people want is very simple, just remember them.


    After only one day in London, Ryan returned to Los Angeles. As he said, Natalie, as the director and producer, has already prepared the shooting of "The Dilemma" in the studio, just waiting Once the only protagonist is in place, the filming can be officially started.


    Because of the complex terrain conditions of the Blue John Canyon, Alan Ruston¡¯s trapped scene was moved to the studio. Based on the actual measurement data, the crew used the same scale model and set to build a nearly real small canyon. It is also the place where the crew currently spends the most money.


    After the last field trip, both Ryan and Natalie have discarded the idea of ??shooting on the spot. Safety first is the principle that will not change. Besides, with Hollywood¡¯s existing technology, it is not possible to restore a single one. A small canyon with a foot width is not difficult.


    Ryan has just entered the crew, and both he and Natalie need to find their feelings, but after trial shooting some fragmentary shots, the filming is temporarily ended.


    Changing back to her clothes in the dressing room, when Ryan returned to the studio, Natalie was still sitting in front of the monitor, carefully checking the shots that were taken just now, and after hearing the sound of his walking past, she turned He turned around and handed a file bag to Ryan.


    "What''s this?" Ryan took it and sat beside her.


    "Pat was sent by someone."


    Hearing Natalie''s words, Ryan immediately understood what this was. It should be the Oscar nominations that will be announced tomorrow at the nominees luncheon.


    After opening it, it turned out to be the nomination list for the 77th Oscar.


    Natalie leaned over and took a look, and said, "The college has also sent me an invitation."


    "Congratulations." Ryan smiled at her, "You can be with Scarlett and Alison then."


    As one of the voice actors of "The Superman Family", Taylor is fully qualified to go to the Oscar red carpet. This film has been nominated for the best animated feature film, and will definitely get this award because there are almost no competitors.


    The only competitor is "Shark''s Tale", and "Polar Express" is definitely excluded from this nomination because of the use of live action capture technology.


    "Argo has received several nominations."


    Having been with Ryan for so long, Natalie also knows that this movie must be a hit, "Are there any best movies?"


    "Of course, my dear." Ryan said while looking down. "Don''t forget, the situation in the Persian Gulf is still tense, and the Iranian side is still calling Hollywood a thug of the federal government."


    "Yes, the best film..." Ryan counted and said, "Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Original Soundtrack, a total of seven Nominations."


    "It looks like you are the winner again?" Natalie stood up, put her arm on Ryan''s shoulder, and looked at the nomination list below with her chin. Ryan raised her hand and squeezed her pointy Chin, "The biggest winner is definitely not us."


    He directly gave this list to Natalie and said, "Martin Scorsese''s "Aviator" won the best picture, best director, best actor, and most Eleven nominations including the best supporting actress, the old cowboy Clint Eastwood''s "Million Dollar Baby" also received seven nominations."


    "Don''t you think that Oscar owes Martin Scorsese a best director?"


    Hearing Natalie¡¯s words, Ryan shook his finger, ¡°Oscar doesn¡¯t owe anyone anything. Sometimes the film is good enough and the PR is in place. The qualifications are not a problem, but you can¡¯t get the award. My own problem."


    "My own problem?" Natalie frowned and thought, Ryan continued, "For example, have you done things you shouldn''t have done in the past, and said things you shouldn''t have said."


    "You mean "The Last Temptation of Christ"?" Natalie remembered some reports she had seen. "It is said that Martin Scorsese was almost assassinated after this movie came out."


    "Perhaps there is a reason for this."


    Who knows what so many members of the college think. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 659： Become a disabled person in the film

    "Lights? Where is the light I want?"


    There was a crisp sound from behind. When Ryan looked back, Natalie at the back handed the camera to the assistant and walked out of the small canyon. "I don''t want to explain, I just want you to finish the work in hand."


    "I promise."


    The person in charge of the lighting group said immediately, "This is just an accident."


    With the sound of footsteps, Natalie walked into the canyon again, picked up the camcorder again, and asked Ryan, "Are you ready?"


    Ryan didn''t speak, but just raised his hand and made an "ok" gesture.


    "ready¡­¡­"


    Natalie''s assistant Anna shouted, "Scene fifty-fifth, act twelfth, now begins!"


    When the night passed, bright sunlight lit up the cold and dark valley a little bit, and the golden light fell on the brown-red rock, slowly moving towards the trapped Ryan. He looked there, breathing a little bit, and his eyes showed The unstoppable desire is not only a warm taste, but also a feeling of freedom.


    Standing above Ryan, Natalie used the lens to capture every change in Ryan''s expression. In the cable car above her, the main cameraman was shooting the panorama of the canyon.


    The sunlight finally moved here, illuminating Ryan''s tired face, but because of the terrain, he stopped beside him, Ryan took off his shoes, and a big bare foot stuck into the sunlight.


    Natalie immediately gave this foot a close-up, and then moved the camera to Ryan''s face again. In a comfortable sigh, he showed a slightly intoxicated expression. For a person who has been trapped for a long time, the sun is so Fascinating and precious.


    He slowly stroked the rock wall warmed by the sun. Although these latex-made ¡®rocks¡¯ felt very bad, Ryan still enjoyed this short moment in accordance with the character¡¯s requirements.


    Perhaps only those who have lost their freedom can understand what Alan Ruston felt at the time.


    When she turned her head back, Ryan realized that Natalie was right in front of her. She carried the camera, and seemed to be taking close-ups of his face from a distance of up to a foot away.


    Ryan has more than ten years of experience in acting, and has been filming for more than ten days, and gradually found the feeling of a role. At this time, she is still fully engaged. The girl opposite is now a director and videographer to him. There is no need to consider the rest at work.


    "Cut!" Natalie finally stopped, and she gave Ryan a thumbs up. Clicked his chin, "It''s a great job!"


    Then, she slid down from Ryan and said to the cameraman in the cable car above, "Jarvis, change the angle and shoot again."


    Although the position is very awkward, and a bit tired after the long shot just now, Ryan is still fully cooperating with the work of the crew. As he said, he was an actor at the time of filming, and he was responsible for cooperating with the crew to complete his own work.


    After Natalie called to stop again, Ryan jumped off the hanging rock. After shaking the somewhat paralyzed right hand between the two prop rocks, after feeling the blood flow was normal, he followed Natalie and walked out of the Blue John Canyon.


    "Tired?" Natalie handed the camera to the assistant. Asked back.


    "If it takes too long." Ryan pointed to his right hand. "It''s very uncomfortable here."


    "Go ahead and rest for half an hour." Natalie ordered to the assistant. Back in front of the monitor, after taking the camera, I connected the data cable, and said to Ryan who was sitting next to him, "There is no such super long lens below."


    Taking off the hat she was wearing, Ryan took the two cups of coffee from Anna and placed one in front of Natalie, "You should also take a rest, we have plenty of time."


    The shots of the film are not complicated. Most of them are Ryan''s one-man shows. According to the plan, the shooting in the studio was completed in the first month, and then after the Oscars ceremony, they went to Canyon National Park to complete a small number of location shots .


    "What do you think?" Natalie held up the coffee cup and pointed at the screen on the monitor. Ryan took a look, and then said, "You are the director, and these are all your jobs."


    Although she occasionally makes a few suggestions, Ryan gave all the rights to Natalie from the shooting to the final editing of the film, and the film will only go according to her ideas.


    "The following is the scene of your life diary."


    Turning off the monitor, Natalie beckoned to the props group, and someone immediately sent a DVD over. Ryan took it and pointed to the''Sony'' logo on it and asked, "Is this an advertising sponsorship? "


    "That''s right." Natalie showed a narrow smile on her slightly tired face, "Sony paid $3 million in advertising fees. Sorry, we borrowed your reputation when we sponsored."


    "It''s okay." Ryan said, playing with the dv. "This is good for the film and the crew."


    The placement of advertising has long been an integral part of Hollywood movies. If you look closely, you will see the shadow of advertising in many movies. Ryan and Disney have never rejected this. On the contrary, people are welcome to pay for the cost of the movie. He himself once solemnly warned the various production companies of his subordinates to pay attention to the methods and methods of advertising placement, and not to get frantic.


    Having said that, if this is not the movie he starred in, it must be difficult for the crew to get this advertising fee.


    Later, Ryan listened to Natalie''s introduction again, and then realized that the implanted advertisements were more than this. All the outdoor sports equipment on his body was basically a brand, and this brand also paid 3 million US dollars.


    "This is Ryan''s influence. The production cost of 10 million US dollars has been recovered in half."


    This is what the associate director said to Natalie, which is quite appropriate. After these advertisers confirmed that Ryan was the lead actor, they almost confirmed the sponsorship contract in the fastest way.


    "At least part of the money has been recovered."


    After filming Alan Ruston¡¯s self-portrait life diary, Natalie took the dv back, "This way my pressure is much less."


    "Nate, you are about to become a qualified crew leader." Ryan teased her.


    However, this is a good phenomenon. Not all directors are James Cameron. They have such a terrible budget when filming. If a director wants Hollywood to pay attention, he must let the producers see that it can create value. Even the most basic commercial value is not there. In this era, such directors are destined to only pass by Hollywood.


    After lunch, the crew left the Disney Studios and moved to Harvey Weinstein¡¯s private club in Malibu. Next, they will borrow the swimming area here to film Alan Ruston who still loves sports after his amputation. And many other life scenes.


    There is not much description of this scene in the script, but Natalie wants to take a multi-faceted shot, through a quick editing method, to show the real life of the brave man after his recovery.


    How to turn a person into a disabled person in the film? Too simple for Hollywood.


    The makeup artist wrapped Ryan''s right hand from below the elbow joint into a thin green screen, so that it would not affect his next diving in the pool, and he could easily erase this arm during post-production. .


    "The effect of your weight loss does not seem to be obvious."


    When she walked to stand by the pool, Natalie looked up and down at Ryan, who was wearing only big swimming trunks. "How heavy are you now?"


    "Dear."


    Poke his chest, Ryan said helplessly, "I now only have less than 180 pounds. Am I going to reduce it to 130 pounds like I did when I filmed "The Pianist"?"


    "I just suggest you do better." Natalie couldn''t help but think of 130-pound Ryan. It was skinny and terrifying. "Alright, get ready, we''re going to start shooting. "


    After speaking, she walked back behind the monitor.


    The three underwater cameras had already been prepared. After Natalie called to start, Ryan jumped into the pool and swam to the opposite side in a normal posture.


    While swimming, he had to control his expression and speed, and the camera in front slowly backed away at a steady speed.


    With the sound of water, Ryan swam out of the water, leaned on the edge of the pool, and looked at a group of people on the opposite side. This group of extras are guest stars of various types of work in the crew, and they don¡¯t need anything. Acting, just stand there as naturally as possible.


    The camera flickered, and Natalie called to stop again.


    "This shot has passed, ready for the next one!"


    Although many extras were added to the shots here, it is still Ryan''s one-man show. Today, he is in a particularly good state. Most of the shots have been done at once, and the efficiency of the crew has also improved a lot. Originally, it was planned to finish shooting in a day and a half All of the scenes were completed in just one afternoon.


    When he got out of the clothes, Ryan found that the crew was about to return to the Disney studio. Natalie confessed a few words to the assistant director and came over Alison just called. "She turned the phone in her hand, "She is waiting for us in North Hollywood." "


    "She came back from the sea?" Ryan asked, pulling Natalie to follow the crew to the parking lot, "Is something wrong with her?"


    "I want to have dinner with us." Natalie said as she walked. "It seems that Emma Watson, who went to sea together, is also here."


    Ryan knew that the crew of "Harry Potter" had come to Los Angeles a long time ago and was preparing to participate in the upcoming Oscars. "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" could not get the heavyweight award, but Still won a lot of technical award nominations such as the best visual effects.


    Besides, the appearance of the crew on the Oscar red carpet is also one of the best publicity methods for the next film.


    In the next few years, basically a Harry Potter movie will be released every year.


    After arriving in North Hollywood, Ryan and the two went directly to Mr. Zhou''s restaurant and met Tyler and Miss Hermione who was sitting with her and chatting closely. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 660： Can you make some tomato sauce that tastes better?

    "We departed from Miami, drove through the entire Gulf of Mexico, all the way to Puerto Rico." Tyler took the shiny fork, gestured and said, "After three days of traveling in Puerto Rico, we bypassed the Panama Canal and traveled along the North American route. On the west coast, back to the port of Santa Monica."


    "We also caught a shark." Emma Watson, who was sitting next to Taylor, put down her spoon and wiped her mouth and said, "I caught it shortly after driving out of Miami, although it was just a small horn. shark."


    "But that''s also a shark." Taylor followed with a grin.


    The two girls looked at each other tacitly and laughed at the same time.


    The crisp laughter came out of this quiet partition, probably because they saw other people''s eyes turned to this side, Taylor and Emma Watson stopped their laughter and continued with the topic just now.


    "What about the shark?" Ryan also put down his knife and fork. Seeing that the other three girls had already finished eating, he beckoned to the waiter to come over, "Take these away and serve four more cups of black tea."


    "We have implanted a tracker on the shark." Taylor trimmed the platinum long curly hair a bit, "then let it go, I agreed with Emma, ??wait a few years, we will all be eighteen years old When we go out to sea to find that shark."


    "That''s it." Emma Watson nodded vigorously.


    "What if it is eaten by another fish?" Natalie winked at Taylor deliberately.


    "I''m not grinning." Tyler''s nose straightened. "Even if it is eaten by another fish, we will find that fish."


    "Then grab it."


    There seemed to be a tacit understanding, Emma Watson took Taylor''s words again, "Cut it into five paragraphs."


    "Throw it back into the sea to feed other sharks."


    After receiving the black tea from the waiter, Taylor continued, "This is how it will end up eating our sharks!"


    "My dears..." Ryan took a sip of black tea, "Your story just now can be compiled into a script."


    "That''s great." Taylor said playfully, "I''ll write the script. Charlotte starred, Natt directed, and then we won the Oscar statuette together."


    "The name of the story is to look for sharks." Natalie also rarely joked.


    Emma Watson suddenly reminded, "Someone is here, it seems it is Neo, it is Neo!"


    Although she has become famous, and even an Anglo-American teen idol, she has not broken away from the category of a normal girl. At this time, it is like seeing a fan of idols.


    The person who came by was Keanu Reeves, with a Chinese girl next to him. He should be a boyfriend and girlfriend, and it seems that he has gotten rid of the influence of the death of his ex-girlfriend.


    Because the other party is Charlize''s best friend in Hollywood, Ryan has repeatedly heard South African Diamonds mention the situation of Keanu Reeves in recent years.


    Since the "The Matrix" series, Keanu Reeves''s life has fallen into a trough. His newborn daughter and fianc¨¦e had accidents one after another. He himself was even more discouraged and disappeared on the big screen for a long time.


    Ryan once invited him to star in "X-Men" and several other Disney films, but they were all rejected by Keanu Reeves, since then. He also faded his thoughts of helping each other out of the predicament. After all, this is Hollywood, and it is easier to forget a person than to remember one.


    The two parties introduced each other, and the waiter brought two chairs from the side. Keanu Reeves and his new girlfriend also sat at this table.


    Somewhat surprisingly, Keanu Reeves¡¯s new girlfriend is one of the owners of this restaurant, whose English name is Zhou Jiana. The daughter of the founder of Mr. Zhou''s restaurant is also the granddaughter of Zhou Xinfang among the few Peking opera masters that Ryan only knows.


    "Since Grandpa passed away because of persecution."


    Since she is the owner of Mr. Zhou''s restaurant, the topic of several people is naturally inseparable from this aspect. During the period, Ryan mentioned Zhou Xinfang, but Zhou Jiana''s words were something he did not expect, "Although the uncle and aunt''s family are still there, my father and I rarely pass by."


    "Sorry." Ryan didn''t know this, Zhou Jiana shook his head, "It''s okay."


    "Persecution?" Tyler and Emma Watson murmured together, and little Emma asked Tyler curiously, "Have you not been to China? Is it dangerous over there?"


    "Stupid!" Taylor curled his lips. "It''s great over there. It looks no different from Britain and the United States. Don''t believe those words in the newspaper. Most of them are fake."


    "Didn''t your crew have an actor from China?" she asked in a low voice.


    Emma Watson shrugged, but didn''t say anything, and the two girls focused their attention on the conversation of several people.


    "Keanu, is there a filming appointment recently?"


    In any case, the other party is Charlize''s friend, and now that he met, Ryan also wanted to help him.


    "The contract with Warner has not been fulfilled." Although Keanu Reeves was full of beard and smiled, he was a lot more hearty, "Constantin based on the comics."


    The biggest problem for Keanu Reeves is that his work is urgently needed to evoke the audience and Hollywood¡¯s memory of the top 20 million club members. The comic movie he starred in may not be a choice, although Ryan doesn¡¯t remember how much the movie¡¯s box office is. , But later Warner also planned to make a sequel, it won¡¯t be bad if you want to.


    Before staying long, Keanu Reeves left with his new girlfriend.


    No one knows whether this Hollywood movie star will slowly fall like his previous life, but Hollywood has a reality. If you don''t work hard to move forward, you will only be surpassed by the crowds behind.


    After all, this is a country that advocates free competition, and Hollywood is the best representative of this country''s culture.


    "Alison, Emma."


    As soon as it¡¯s the Oscars ceremony, Ryan asked with concern, "Are your dresses ready?"


    "I have Chanel''s sponsorship." Emma Watson said.


    "That..." Tyler looked at Natalie and said vaguely, "It''s already ready."


    She winked at Ryan playfully, "Can I walk the red carpet with you?"


    "Honey." Ryan took another sip of black tea and reminded her, "Didn''t you make an appointment with Scarlett to walk the carpet together?"


    "Oh, I almost forgot." Taylor patted his forehead, "I have to take care of the little fat girl."


    "You two..." Ryan said seriously, "Don''t mess around on the red carpet."


    "Oh, God." Tyler pouted his lips in dissatisfaction. "Dear Ryan, am I so unreliable in your heart?"


    After she finished speaking, she laughed first, and then everyone else laughed too.


    When facing outsiders, Miss Taylor Swift is a standard lady.


    The seventy-seventh Oscars ceremony is coming soon, but according to the plan, Ryan needs to complete "127 Hours" in the studio before Oscar night.


    In order to distinguish the memoirs, the film was officially named "127 Hours" after the filming began.


    In the next two days, Ryan filmed many fantasy clips mentioned by Alan Ruston in his memoirs. The movie is not only a one-man show, it is still a scene most of the time. Even if it is as powerful as Ryan, it cannot be Under such simple conditions, the movie will not become boring.


    The films he and Natalie made are not typical niche films similar to "Buried Alive" and so on. Some interesting plots must be adopted to attract the audience.


    Alan Ruston himself also visited the crew several times. According to his introduction, even in the most desperate moment, he did not shed a single tear. On the contrary, when he was hungry and thirsty, the sky suddenly dropped a few raindrops. He imagined that the heavy rain was pouring, and thus felt hope, the urgency for hope and freedom, but made him burst into tears.


    Unfortunately, the rain did not fall in the end, and he still had to complete his self-salvation.


    As the last scene in the studio, what Ryan has to complete is the process of surviving with broken arms.


    "ketchup!"


    Saying that the cable car fell at the entrance of the canyon, Natalie pointed to Ryan''s knife and shouted, "Add some more to the knife to stain Ryan''s lips, and..."


    She lowered her head and exhorted, "Show enough perseverance in pain!"


    Ryan didn''t speak, and gave her a thumbs-up, eyes on the fake arm filled with ketchup.


    Despite this shooting, the final rating of the movie will definitely be reduced to r-level, but Alan Ruston survived with a broken arm is the most important scene in the movie. Without these, the story will lose its soul.


    After waiting for the sound of starting from above, Ryan picked up the knife that barely felt the edge and cut the first knife on that arm. The red liquid poured out like real blood, and he bit Holding the knife, he didn''t care about the blood-stained lips and hands at all, picked up the prepared bandage, and strangled his upper arm...


    A knife fell down His hands, his face, his sports t-shirt, and almost everything nearby were stained blood red.


    "Can''t faint, absolutely can''t faint!"


    He has made a choice between life and broken arm, skin, flesh, bone, and even hand muscles...


    I don''t know who made the fake arm. It turned out to be real. Many people turned their heads and couldn''t bear to watch this scene again.


    Finally, after experiencing hardship and pain, Ryan cut off the fake arm. When Natalie called to stop, he had only one idea. He wanted to ask Alan Ruston how he survived this. Kind of painful.


    However, then he felt the peculiar smell in his mouth and shouted, "Can I make tomato sauce that tastes better next time?"


    The crew all looked at the embarrassed boss, and didn''t know who laughed first, and then there was a hearty laughter from the entire studio.


    This is the end of the shot in the studio, and the following shooting will have to wait for the Oscar awards ceremony to end. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 661： I will try 1 by myself

    Since the day when its influence spread to the United States, the Oscars are no longer purely Hollywood awards. Needless to say, the fashion that is always closely connected with celebrities, various social, political, and public welfare groups will not appear from time to time. Highlight your own existence.


    Especially in recent years, the Kodak Theater has always been surrounded by protests.


    The most conspicuous thing this year is that the Los Angeles Public Health Commission has paid for three mobile billboards to demand that the film boycott smoking scenes. One of them is a child¡¯s face and an ad slogan¡ªthe whole world is watching, please Boycott the film smoking scenes.


    They hope that this campaign can convince the film industry to pay attention to the harmful effects of smoking scenes on children.


    In addition to resisting advertisements for smoking scenes, a conservative political organization also bought a portion of the advertising space near the Kodak Theater to oppose Hollywood''s left-leaning politics.


    On a billboard, next to the smiling picture of President Pig¡¯s head, there was an advertising slogan ¡®It¡¯s another 4 years, thank you Hollywood! ¡¯¡¯George is still president, thank you Hollywood! ¡¯


    The sponsor of the advertisement was an organization called "United Citizens". They also published satires on the billboards of Michael Moore, Barbara Streisand, Martin Sean, Ubi Goldberg, Sean? Photos of left-leaning filmmakers such as Pan, and Sevey Chase.


    Politics has never been far away from Hollywood, not far away from movies.


    With "Argo" being nominated for seven Oscars, this awards ceremony is full of political flavor, especially as many media predict that "Argo" is almost booked for the best film.


    Although Ryan thinks so, but Disney''s public relations work has not relaxed.


    Compared with the past, the bottom line of public relations is getting lower and lower, and various companies use various methods in public relations. If this situation continues, it will not take a few years for Oscars to become a real public relations. War.


    Public relations are the embodiment of the will to free competition. But the quality of the film is the most basic condition, and now more and more people are focusing on public relations.


    In the past, if a film can win the Oscar award, coupled with the promotion of the media, it will be worth a hundred times in the eyes of movie fans. Not only will box office income around the world increase, but more importantly, the income from selling DVDs and renting home video tapes. Will greatly increase.


    What about the future?


    Information is becoming more and more open. In the later years of Ryan''s previous life, there are many movies that won the Oscars but hit the streets commercially.


    of course. There are still great economic benefits to be gained.


    In the face of direct economic benefits, major production companies will naturally spare no effort to invest in the Oscars competition, and the publicity expenses invested have been rising. In addition to paying for advertisements and conducting free film screenings, the expenses also include arranging media interviews. , The cost of organizing one after another luxurious party and preparing generous gifts for the guests.


    That¡¯s right, it¡¯s almost an open secret to prepare gifts that are not too expensive but very unique for guests at canvassing parties.


    For example, in a canvassing party held by Disney, some classic Disney dolls will be prepared for judges with children.


    Because none of this year''s nominated films can be as popular as last year''s "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". This makes the Oscar best picture competition more like a money contest, and the production companies rely on their dollars to compete for every vote.


    Before the night of the Oscars, the Oscars for the high-profile winners of "Aviator" and "Million Dollar Baby" had both reached 15 million U.S. dollars, even for small production films like "A Life With Wine". Promotional expenses also reached more than 10 million U.S. dollars, which is almost half of the filming cost.


    In "Argo", Disney''s investment has reached 10 million US dollars.


    Who is the initiator of this money war? It is recognized in Hollywood circles that Ryan and Harvey Weinstein, the two of them have sent Nicole and Gwyneth to the throne of the movie queen with a huge public relations offensive. It''s just that the former is considered well deserved, while the latter is one of the most watery queens in Oscar history...


    After 1998 and 1999, it used to be just a small Oscar public relations. Suddenly it became fierce, and the production company''s expenses in this area rose sharply.


    There are also stars from all walks of life who are spending rising. Even if many of them have sponsors, the cost of spending on the red carpet is getting higher and higher.


    After getting out of the car, Ryan realized that retro was popular this year. Almost all the female celebrities he saw were mermaid evening dresses, one-shouldered, double-shouldered, slanted shoulders, suspenders, tube tops, etc. They seemed to have greeted in advance. .


    After finishing the teal tuxedo, Ryan walked on the red carpet alone, as in recent years.


    After walking a certain distance, he looked back, and at the end of the red carpet, Scarlett, wearing a big red suspender dress, had gotten off the black Rolls-Royce car with Taylor and stepped onto the red carpet.


    Taylor is wearing a ginger-colored evening dress with wide shoulder straps, vintage stiletto heels on his feet, golden curly hair rolled into a bun, and a princess headband with broken diamonds on the top of his head. At first glance, it looks like A very large Barbie doll.


    "Ryan is looking back." Tyler waved to both sides as he walked, showing a charming smile, but did not forget to whisper to Scarlett, "He seems to be worried about us."


    "It''s not us, it''s you!" Scarlett made a hidden gesture, indicating a little faster, "I said, don''t let you wear such high heels!"


    With a height of more than five feet and ten inches, coupled with four-inch high heels, let alone Scarlett, most of the male stars who walked on the red carpet were almost beaten by Taylor in terms of height.


    In the past ten years, Taylor has experienced countless luxurious places and big scenes. The red carpet is just a trifle to her. She is neither nervous nor flamboyant like other female stars. She has always maintained a relatively fast speed, waiting for the Swiss ahead. When Eun walked through the interview area, they were no more than thirty feet away from him.


    The interview area was concentrated on a platform in front of the Kodak Theater. There were not only reporters from the live broadcast station, but also entertainment reporters from across the United States.


    Maybe that''s not right. In addition to entertainment reporters, there are many reporters and editors who run current affairs and fashion.


    Among them is a handsome male reporter who is proud of himself. He is called Isaac Mazlasi. He is also an actor, editor of "Vogue" and a costume designer. He is also known in the United States. This time After getting the admission ticket for the Oscar interview, I stood in the interview area which was broadcast live by TV cameras, and I naturally wanted to show off.


    He didn''t want to be famous just because he came out publicly.


    But in such a chaotic scene, it is not easy to be eye-catching, but Isaac Mazlasi has his own way.


    Hilary Swank, the most powerful contender for this year''s Oscar heroine, walked into the interview area, and the ready-to-go Isaac Mazlasi immediately rushed to her.


    "Miss Swank, you are so beautiful today." He handed the microphone over and praised him first.


    "Thank you!" Hilary Swank smiled politely.


    "Is this Versace''s dress?" Isaac Mazlasi asked, and after the other nodded, he said, "I wonder if Miss Swank is wearing underwear?"


    Just when Hilary Swank was slightly taken aback, he suddenly said, "I should try it myself."


    After speaking, the empty right hand was pinched on Hilary Swank''s chest.


    The female man was stunned immediately. After staying for almost two seconds, she didn''t seem to know how to react. The other party''s behavior was very rude, but what should she do?


    There is live TV here, she must pay attention to her image, and the other party is a well-known **** man in the United States...


    "Sorry, I just want to try it." Isaac Mezraxi was not a fool, and said immediately, "Miss Swank won''t mind."


    Despite her gloomy face, Hilary Swank left the interview area angrily and walked into the Kodak Theater.


    Behind her, Isaac Mazlasi in the interview area said loudly to the live TV camera, "I touched Hilary Swank''s breast! You know? I touched the breast of the Oscar queen! "


    This is just the beginning.


    A few minutes later, Jessica Alba, who was mixed up with a bit of fame in the just-released "Sin City", walked into the interview area. Maybe it was just a little star. Not many people interviewed her. Isaac Mezlasi easily squeezed to the forefront, so he repeated his skills, and in the same way and for the same reason, he squeezed the opponent''s strong pair without emphasis.


    "Sorry¡­¡­"


    Isaac Mezlasi was a **** man who came out publicly, and Jessica Alba also left helplessly.


    "Wow, I touched Jessica Alba''s chest again."


    Looking at the TV camera again, Isaac Mezzlasi yelled, "I promise, neither she nor Hilary Swank wear corsets."


    I will definitely be the headline of the major media tomorrow! Isaac Mazlasi is calm on the surface but he is very proud on the inside.


    He is not worried that these female stars will sue, after all, he is a ¡®comrade¡¯ who came out publicly.


    It¡¯s just that Isaac Mezlasi didn¡¯t know that the TV station still adopted a delayed live broadcast this year. The live broadcasts he expected to show up in the limelight were all cut off by the TV editor.


    Later, Isaac Mezzlasi continued his tricks, teasing Vinigia Madsen and Selma Hayek, and even teasing Orado Bloom and Kerry with the problem of underwear. Husband? Owen.


    Anyway, he has already thrown away his face, and those stars still want face. Under the pretext of freedom of the press and the cover of **** status, they have nothing to do with him.


    Of course, Isaac Mezzlasi also chooses objects to shoot. For example, Charlize Theron and Natalie Portman, who came by one person after another, didn''t have the guts to move forward at all.


    However, he had a better goal right away. Last year, Scarlett Johansson, who was number one on the list of **** actresses in "Men Gang" magazine, walked into the interview area. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 662： Bright red palm print

    As he walked to the interview area, the shout of ¡®Taylor¡¯ came from behind the fence to the right of the red carpet. Dozens of young men and women held up the girl¡¯s poster and squeezed into the front of the crowd.


    "Go and help your fans sign."


    Scarlett nodded in front of her chin and said to Taylor, "I''m waiting for you in the interview area."


    "Ok."


    After Taylor beckoned and walked over there, Scarlett took a look at her tall back and turned into the interview area with a bright smile. Before she could see the live footage of the TV station, a handsome male reporter jumped. Arrived in front of him.


    "Hello, Miss Johnson."


    Looking at the microphone handed over by the other party, it was the logo of Vogue, Scarlett smiled and waved to him, "Hello."


    In the interview area at this time, there were other celebrities being interviewed, which seemed a little messy, but after Scarlett had a few conversations with each other, she gradually remembered who he was¡ªIsaac Mazlasi, inside the circle. The **** men who came out publicly also gathered actors, reporters, editors, and costume designers. They are so famous in Hollywood.


    Frankly speaking, she somewhat admires the courage of the other party to come out publicly. Like some people, she only hides.


    "Miss Johnson, can I take the liberty to ask you a question?"


    Looking at Scarlett¡¯s red **** evening gown, Isaac Metzlassie didn¡¯t wait for Scarlett to answer, and asked in a mocking tone, ¡°Can you tell me what you wear under your Valentino evening gown?¡±


    Frowning, Scarlett said casually, "I didn''t wear too much."


    "Not wearing too much? But you look really sexy. You must be wearing **** underwear."


    With that said, Isaac Mazlasi covered Scarlett¡¯s chest with one hand as before, and said jokingly, ¡°I just want to touch it. I like this feeling. There must be some secret in it."


    "You...what are you doing?" Scarlett was taken aback in surprise, having never thought that the other party would do such a nasty behavior.


    "I''m just taking notes."


    Although it was a joking tone, Isaac Mazlasi''s pride could not be concealed at all, and at last he squeezed it both seriously.


    Celebrity? What are these stars. Faced with his own molesting, it''s not just that he can only bear it obediently.


    In his pride, he blurted out, "I touched the **** goddess Scarlett Johansson..."


    Just as he was talking, Scarlett on the opposite side had already recovered her senses. She had a good life these years, where she had been teased and insulted so much, so she raised her hand without hesitation, facing that one. The smug face slammed down.


    "Smack~"


    The crisp slap in the face is not loud. But it reached the ears of everyone in the interview area, and many people turned their heads and looked at this side for a second.


    Isaac Mezlasi was also stunned, but the fiery pain on his face clearly reminded him that he was under live TV footage. I was beaten by a woman...


    "you¡­¡­"


    He hadn''t said what he said. A tall figure approached him at almost the fastest speed. The slender arm raised to a height that he couldn''t see at all, with much greater strength and speed than Scarlett. , Fell down again, and drew it on the other side of Isaac Mezraxi''s cheek.


    "Smack~"


    The loud slap in the face sounded again. Accompanied by the falling hand, Isaac Mazlasi¡¯s head turned to the other side like a cramp. Amidst the burning pain and the stars flying in front of him, he could clearly see that there was an unusually tall girl, Jiang. Yellow double shoulder dress. Fresh and bright face, beautiful princess headband, like a large Barbie doll.


    "Scum!"


    This was the only thing the girl said to him.


    Isaac Mezlasi shook his head vigorously, and after a little awake, he stretched out his hand dazedly to point at each other. It was just that the hand had just been lifted, and it was pressed down forcefully, and several people separated him from the two girls on the opposite side.


    He knows these people, the TV station counterparts, he struggled hard, and cried out, "Let go of me!"


    "You better see who the person across from Du is!"


    The person who whispered the warning was named John Tru, a reporter in the entertainment department of the TV station.


    They were interviewing Jamie Fox before, and they didn''t notice this until the second slap in the face, and then immediately threw away the top favorite of the best actor opposite, and rushed over at the fastest speed.


    He didn¡¯t know about it, but the girl later was very familiar with it. The entertainment department of the TV station was opposite the Disney headquarters building. When the other party was not famous, they would often go to the TV station to play around in the TV station through the connecting sky bridge before they became famous. All familiar.


    Perhaps Disney has created countless princesses, but the insiders know that Taylor Swift is the true princess of Walt Disney!


    After a few people, Taylor stared coldly at Isaac Mezraxi, his royal blue eyes were as cold as a Ceylon sapphire buried deep in the Arctic for ten thousand years.


    When she walked into the interview area, she happened to see the other person pinching Scarlett¡¯s chest, and then the little fat girl made an angry move. Although the past education reminded her to be calm, she was a friend who had been with him for more than ten years. One of her closest people...


    Therefore, she did not hesitate to reward Isaac Mazlasi with a loud slap, and used the greatest strength.


    Although the live TV screen was replaced by an advertisement by the TV station, the surrounding flashlights lit up, and dozens of reporters gathered around.


    "Scarlett..." Tyler shook his hand and looked at her side. Scarlett was doing the same movement, "I''m fine."


    The two beautiful eyes met briefly, and then separated quickly. Oscar¡¯s security personnel had already ran over. After a leader glanced at Taylor, he whispered a few words. Several people immediately confided Taylor and Scarlett protected.


    Holding his high and swollen cheeks, without looking in the mirror, Isaac Mazlasi knew that there must be a bright red palm print on it. He also stared at the two women on the opposite side, and bit his teeth hard. .


    He had already seen who the next person was, and one hand trembled slightly, but the pain on his face immediately reminded him that the other party was completely insulting him in the public!


    I just made a few jokes, squeezed their breasts, they actually treated him this way!


    Must fight back! Must fight back!


    The current Isaac? Mezlasi is furious, he knows that he can''t do anything now, but he won''t just let it go.


    Not only will I touch your breasts, but I will also stigmatize your reputation!


    Isaac Mezlasi stared at the two young girls and thought of a way instantly. He is the editor of "Vogue" magazine. He is best at using articles to tell... No, it is to expose the essence of facts!


    Also, I am a **** man who came out publicly, discriminating against homosexuality...


    Thinking of this, he couldn''t help but twitched the corners of his mouth, but before the smile appeared, there was another hot pain on his face.


    "I advise you..."


    Suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, and when Isaac Mezzlasi turned his head to look, it was a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. The other party had some friendship with him. At this time, he lowered his voice and reminded him, " Hurry up and apologize to Scarlett Johansson, whether publicly or privately, to settle this matter as soon as possible."


    "Quite! Apologize?" Isaac Mezraxi said through gritted teeth, "I must stinks those two bitches!"


    He knows that Ryan Jenkins may be behind him, but there is also a "Vogue" magazine behind him, and his boss is an unreasonable devil!


    Besides, they are not the real relatives of Ryan Jenkins after all.


    Anger will always bring some wrong judgments. Anna Wintour is indeed the devil in their eyes, but not the devil in the eyes of the top figures.


    "Things seem to be in trouble."


    With two loud slaps, Scarlett''s angry mood gradually calmed down, and she looked around. If it weren''t for the security guards, the excited reporters would definitely surround them.


    "Scarlett!" Taylor said in her ear very seriously, "I will protect you."


    In the VIP room of the Kodak Theater, Ryan sat in a chair and talked with David Yates next to him about the subsequent shooting of "Harry Potter". The British director signed a long-term contract with Disney until the end of the directing. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" will step down.


    Moreover, his first film received quite a good response, much better than the previous director who directed only one film. "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" earned more than $767.4 million in box office worldwide. Although not as good as the first one, it has a lot more global box office than "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".


    The two said few words, and John suddenly walked into this VIP lounge hurried to Ryan''s side and whispered a few words in his ear.


    "What?" Ryan stood up immediately, then turned to David Yates and said, "I have something urgent to deal with. I''ll talk about it next time."


    After speaking, without waiting for the other party to reply, he left the VIP lounge, hurriedly walked through the front hall, and walked out of the main entrance of the Kodak Theater.


    After coming out, the first thing that came into view was the chaotic interview area. After seeing that Taylor and Scarlett, who were being protected by the security personnel, were safe, the heart he had just held was immediately let go.


    As long as Tyler and the others are not harmed, everything else is easy to say.


    Waved to the back, several security personnel immediately walked in front of him and divided the surrounding group of reporters to both sides.


    Ryan didn''t care about the flashing light and the various questions asked by the reporter, and went straight to Taylor and Scarlett.


    "What is going on?"


    The eyes of the two girls were filled with anger that could not be concealed. ()

 Chapter 663： Personal opening show

    With the knock of "Boom, Boom", John opened the door, Nicole, Natalie and Charlize appeared together in a rare occurrence, and while their eyes were on Tyler, they walked into this VIP lounge one after another. .


    At this time, Ryan didn''t think about other things either, and calmly pointed to the opposite chair, "Sit down."


    "Honey." Nicole sat directly next to Tyler, took her hand and asked, "What the **** happened."


    "That reporter..."


    Tyler and Scarlett cooperated and told the story carefully. Although the description of Isaac Mezzlasi was inevitably more hateful, it was not too exaggerated.


    "When I met Hilary Swank, it was a little unnatural to see her." Charlize frowned and said, "I also heard people say things like chest attacks, and I think she is also one of the victims."


    "How dare he do this?" Natalie asked puzzledly.


    "He is sure that celebrities should be cautious about their image and will not turn their faces in public."


    To a certain extent, Scarlett has a deep understanding, but she is definitely not one of them. "Also, Isaac Mezlasi is a **** man who has come out publicly."


    "Whatever the reason for him!" Nicole''s expression was extremely gloomy, and the pretty face that was morbidly white was like ice at the moment, "It''s all an insult to women!"


    She shook Taylor''s hand hard, "Good fight, dear!"


    Tyler laughed immediately, but after seeing Ryan staring into his eyes, he immediately retracted his smile, "I was very angry at the time. Scarlett was my good friend. After I saw it, I lost my mind..."


    "It''s the scumbag I hit first." Scarlett immediately defended Taylor.


    "Scarlett. Alison." Ryan glanced at them, "Nicole''s words are exactly what I want to say, well played!"


    Enter this lounge. After hearing them talk about the passing, Ryan remembered the distant memories that had been forgotten. Scarlett in the previous life was indeed attacked by a **** man at an awards ceremony. I vaguely remember that Scarlett at that time seemed completely taken aback. I didn¡¯t expect this scene to happen again in this life, but I didn¡¯t know these two reporters. Is it the same person?


    Scarlett in this life is not an ignorant girl from a previous life, and has made the most violent reaction, and regardless of whether the male reporter is really **** or not, this behavior is an extremely serious insult to women.


    "This matter can''t just leave it alone." Natalie was speaking. She has a deep friendship with Scarlett, "That''s a scumbag!"


    "The other party won''t just leave it like that." John who stood on the side said, "When leaving the interview area, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times told me that Isaac Mezzlasi would attack Taylor in the media. And Miss Johnson."


    "Who is he?" Ryan asked.


    "Actor, costume designer, editor of "Vogue" magazine." John said seriously, "The other party is a bit famous in the industry. I have notified Garcia to check his specific past experience. I believe it will be detailed in a short time. data of."


    "I called Anna Wintour."


    Nicole opened the handbag and took out the phone, but Ryan raised his hand to stop her. Then he looked at Tyler, "My dear, what do you think should be done?"


    "I?"


    Pointing to his chin. Tyler blinked his big sapphire eyes, as if he understood something, the raised eyebrows wrinkled into a nice knot.


    After thinking for a few minutes, she said seriously, ¡°The identity of an actor and a costume designer has no meaning in this matter. He is not the top figure in these two industries, and his influence must be limited. It is the identity of the reporter and editor who took the shot. He will definitely want to borrow the influence of "Vogue" magazine to make some remarks against me and Scarlett."


    "But these..." Tyler looked at Ryan. "Whether it is you or Nicole, it must be a phone call, Ms. Wintour will definitely think about it."


    "Go on." Ryan made a please gesture to her.


    "And his homosexuality and the influence on the image of me and Scarlett."


    Taylor doesn¡¯t have the way he likes to be foolish in the past. ¡°In fact, these two aspects can be summed up together. Today¡¯s live broadcast is our TV station, which must have a record, and so many reporters must have taken the scum harassment. Regardless of the situation of other people, no matter what his identity is, we just have to stand still, he is insulting women!


    "This is also an indisputable fact." She added, "The person who was harassed in the front will inevitably be dissatisfied. As long as someone denounces, the scumbag will never be let go, and he will definitely believe that his behavior is an insult to women."


    "Scarlett just made a normal reaction. As long as he guides public opinion a little, it will definitely not have much influence." Taylor shrugged, "As for me, just let them say it, I don''t care."


    What she cares about is just those who love her.


    Nodded, Ryan asked, "Any more?"


    "Okay, okay." Taylor''s big eyes rolled. "The economic downturn in the United States in the past few years has been full of homeless people and drunken unemployed workers. For money, these people..."


    "Alison!" Nicole interrupted her.


    "It''s just a joke." Tyler looked at the few people who were holding their mouths to hold back their smiles, and quickly said seriously, "That scum is so awkward, there must be something unseen in private, let people check him carefully. For example, in terms of taxation, credit, private life, etc., after this incident, the tabloids will definitely be interested. If there is something illegal, someone must be willing to be the whistleblower."


    After speaking, Tyler blinked his big royal blue eyes and looked at Ryan.


    "John, do what Alison said."


    He stood up and said to Nicole, "You call Anna Wintour first. If it doesn''t work, I will contact the chairman of Cond¨¦ Nast Group directly."


    Looking at the watch, Ryan slapped his palm, "Scar, don''t care about the scumbag too much, let''s go into the theater, the award ceremony is about to begin."


    Ryan was the first to walk out of the lounge, and the others came out one after another. After John said a few words to the bodyguards at the door, he left the Kodak Theater.


    After entering the theater. The group quickly separated. Although many people cast inquiring eyes, Ryan and others didn''t care. Things will inevitably spread, which is inevitable.


    Taylor and Scarlett¡¯s seats. Right next to Ryan, they followed, and walked to the position of the "Argo" crew. Unexpectedly, next to this is the "Million Dollar Baby" crew.


    Just sitting down, Ryan saw Hilary Swank approaching and greeted him. They hugged amicably with Taylor.


    "Thank you!" the female man said sincerely, "you did what I wanted to do but didn''t do."


    "You''re welcome." Scarlett smiled at her.


    "He insulted all women." Taylor didn''t hesitate to buckle Isaac Mezraxi on all kinds of charges, "We are to protect the dignity of women."


    "If you need me to make a statement, just let me know."


    After saying goodbye to Tyler, Hilary Swank looked this way, Ryan nodded slightly to her, and the female man left.


    Hilary Swank had just left, and Orlando Bloom came over again.


    "Taylor, Scarlett, good job!" He said in a low voice.


    "What happened. Orlando?" Taylor asked curiously. "Did he harass you too?"


    Orlando Bloom was a little embarrassed, but still nodded. "Not only me, but other male stars have also been harassed by him."


    "Need legal aid?"


    George Clooney, who was sitting on the other side of Ryan, suddenly leaned over, pointed to his female partner and said, "I can introduce you to an excellent female lawyer."


    "If there is a need," Scarlett said politely, "We will."


    "Hi, George." Ryan looked at the female lawyer who made the Iranian government lose face. "Don''t you tell us about it?"


    George Clooney introduced his new girlfriend to the people around him. Those who knew the inside story showed a knowing smile.


    Anyway. The Iranian government is definitely shameless in this matter.


    Perhaps they will be even more indignant after this Oscars ceremony is over. Once again a strong protest, but it all depends on what awards "Argo" can receive in the end.


    "What should I say when I give the award?" Taylor asked him in a low voice.


    "Are you not prepared?" She was the guest of honor for best original song. Ryan shrugged, "Then don''t say anything, just read the nomination list."


    The Oscar''s theme song played, and the venue gradually became quiet. On the big screen on the stage, a montage of a classic film appeared. When Chaplin and Shrek appeared side by side in the same scene, the audience broke out. There was warm applause.


    The very classic "Terminator 2" soundtrack sounded. On the slowly rising stage, the host showed the same classic t800 appearance, but when he raised his head, the theater immediately burst into laughter, because of this person. It''s Billy Christo.


    "!"


    The veteran comedian shouted loudly, "I''m back!"


    Not knowing who started the head, the audience stood up and gave the hostess who was in danger and gave a warm applause.


    Originally, the host prepared by the organizing committee was Chris Rock. The black comedian also accepted the invitation. However, in many publicity activities before the awards ceremony, he made some inappropriate controversial remarks, and even made preparations. In his opening line, he wanted to complain about "The Passion of the Christ" and Mel Gibson, and finally annoyed the college.


    This is not a past life. At that time, Mel Gibson only filmed "The Passion of the Christ" and has not made anti-Semitic remarks. The college doesn''t mind showing their generosity.


    Now, whether it is legal procedures or public opinion, Mel Gibson has long been determined. The college absolutely does not allow other people, especially a black man, to challenge their authority on such occasions.


    In the end, Billy Christo once again boarded the Oscar host stage, once again performing his personal opening show. (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 664： Unexpected guest of honor

    "The best supporting actress was...Cate Blanchett, "The Aviator"!"


    Amidst applause, Cate Blanchett, wearing a goose-yellow one-shoulder evening dress, walked onto the stage. After receiving the Little Golden Man, he stood at the forefront of the arc-shaped stage and delivered her acceptance speech to the microphone.


    "Thank you academy, thank you director Martin Scorsese, thank you my boyfriend, thank my agent Pat, thank you Ryan and Nicole, they helped me get to the Hollywood stage, and Leon, you A good partner. I am honored to play Catherine Hepburn, thank you Hepburn, her spirit has been inspiring me during the filming."


    "The Aviator", this biographical film reflecting the legendary Howard Hughes, is undoubtedly the biggest winner so far. Before Cate Blanchett won the best supporting actress, he easily picked up the best photography. , Best Editing, Best Art Director and Best Costume Design Four Little Golden Men.


    As for "Argo", it hasn''t received any particles so far, and it''s completely a role to accompany the running.


    Fortunately, there are still gains from the films under Disney''s name. "The Superman Family" won the best original song, best sound effects and best animated feature film, and "Spider-Man 2" received the best visual effects.


    "Kate also got the Oscar." Tyler stood up with Ryan, clapping and said, "Where is your next Oscar?"


    "My dear, patience is a virtue."


    Sitting back in the chair, Ryan shrugged and whispered, "Maybe it''s tonight."


    "The best picture is not a personal award." Taylor wrinkled his nose at him. "According to my guess, "Argo" will probably only win the best picture."


    Taylor''s speculation is not without reason, and Disney''s public relations direction is also the best film.


    "It''s Drew."


    After the best original screenplay, Drew Barrymore stepped onto the stage, Taylor pinched his pointed chin. "Will you get this award?"


    "Who knows."


    While they were talking, Drew on the stage had already introduced the nomination list with the pictures on the big screen, and opened the envelope in his hand. "The winners of the best adapted screenplay are Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, "A Life With Wine"!"


    The result was not what Ryan expected. After "Titanic", the screenplay awards have basically been insulated from him. This may be the result of the commercialization of his subsequent screenplays.


    "It''s not a good thing to lose it." George Clooney suddenly comforted, "This way you might get the best actor."


    "George, do you think I can get the best actor?" Ryan looked over there, and George Clooney laughed.


    Neither of them are characters who have just entered Hollywood. Without full public relations, there is almost no hope for the best actor and best director.


    The biggest favorite this year is Jamie Fox. Although his performance in "The King of Soul Singer" is not better than Ryan, his skin color has a natural advantage. In the public opinion of the mainstream media in advance, the voice of the black film. The voice of the emperor occupies an absolute advantage.


    And at the beginning of the awards ceremony, the tone was set for this call. Morgan Freeman took away the first golden figure of this year''s Oscar awards ceremony-best supporting actor!


    Faced with this situation, the people in the audience can only say that this is the Oscar, and there are too many factors that affect the award.


    Most of the time, skin color is an obstacle to winning, such as after "Hero". "Ambush on Ten Sides" returned empty-handed again.


    But in very rare cases, skin color will be helpful, such as the need to unite minorities in North America. When it is necessary to show freedom and equality to the world...


    The last time a black won the best actor, it was in the 1970s, and after 9/11, Ryan and DreamWorks¡¯ joint public relations team completely shattered the black¡¯s dream of reaching the top again. The heroes and heroines of Jia are replaced by George Washington and Harry Berry in the previous life, to Russell Crowe and Charlize Theron.


    Now, there is another black actor, with a performance that is at least as good as the other nominees. Nominated for best actor, the college will definitely give priority to them.


    Ryan doesn''t matter. Anyway, there are still many chances to win prizes in the future, but Leonardo DiCaprio''s face is not good.


    When Jamie Fox waved the statuette to make an acceptance speech. Ryan glanced at Leon not far away, and he seemed very upset.


    Jamie Fox on the stage gave a very long acceptance speech, which also used a lot of black slang. Many people at the bottom of the stage listened to it inexplicably. Ryan had very little contact with this group, and some words did not understand. The specific meaning.


    "Do you need me to explain it to you?" Taylor seemed to see this.


    "Do you understand?" Ryan was strange.


    "There is a black man in my backing singer." Tyler''s eyes closed from the stage. "Sometimes she would mention some slang."


    "Forget it."


    Shaking his head, Ryan wasn''t interested in these at all.


    This Oscar is the same as last year. There is almost no suspense. With the female boxer in "Million Dollar Baby", Hilary Swank took over the best actress from Sean Penn, second. Once boarded the throne of the Oscar queen.


    Unfortunately, just like she became the best actress for the first time, this little golden figure probably won''t bring her much actual benefits.


    The awards ceremony came to the end. After Billy Christo talked about it, Peter Jackson stepped onto the stage. Today¡¯s New Zealand fat man has successfully lost weight, and looks the least than when he got the best director last year. I''m fifty pounds lighter, and my career has been smooth for the time being.


    In the "King Kong" contract signed between Universal Pictures and Peter Jackson, the team composed of him, his screenwriter wife and another producer can get a total of 20% of the film¡¯s global box office. The film¡¯s box office calculations indicate that the remuneration exceeds 100 million U.S. dollars.


    You know, according to the contract signed by Jenkins Pictures and Peter Jackson, after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, he only received more than 15 million US dollars in pay.


    Of course, Ryan will not be as bad as the new line, and even this little money will have to be delayed indefinitely, wanting to go wrong.


    In his previous life, Peter Jackson almost went to court with Xin Xian in order to ask for 13 million US dollars in director compensation.


    While Ryan was thinking about it, Peter Jackson read out the best director nomination list with the big screen, "Martin Scorsese "The Aviator", Clint Eastwood "Million Dollar Baby" ", George Clooney, "Argo", Alexander Payne, "Life with Wine", Michael Lee, "Vila Drake"."


    Most people''s eyes fell on Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood on the big screen. There is no doubt that the best director will definitely come from the two.


    Before the awards ceremony, many media said that Oscar owed Martin Scorsese a best director, but in terms of public relations, Clint Eastwood did a better job, so the result was no surprise.


    "Clint Eastwood "Million Dollar Baby"." Peter Jackson announced the final answer, "Congratulations Clint Eastwood."


    The old cowboy smiled very brightly, and old Martin held his glasses, not knowing what he was thinking.


    Maybe Martin Scorsese is considering what movie he should use to hit the Oscars?


    This is Ryan''s idea. Oscar''s favorite biopics have all encountered failures. Returning to the best gangster movie is the right way.


    The adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs" have long been bought by him, maybe reselling to old Martin is also a good choice? You can also make a difference...


    Although in the previous life, the "Infinite Walker" was criticized by many people, including Ryan, but with the experience of this life, he naturally understood that this was a film for American audiences, Martin Scorser. The first thing that Sri Lanka wants to consider is the taste of the North American market and the Oscars. If you shoot according to the original version, there will be no second result except for the street.


    Culture, race, region, etc., are all very realistic obstacles The awards ceremony has come to the end. There are no upsets in the front, will they appear in the back? "Argo" hasn''t won a golden figure so far, it seems to be waiting for this moment.


    Then, everyone was surprised. There was no award-giving guest on the stage. The person responsible for presenting the award came from the White House-Barbara Bush presented tonight''s best film through a video connection!


    All the suspense has disappeared. In addition to a film with a bright political color like "Argo", is there any other choice?


    This is also an Oscar. Political correctness is also a prerequisite for winning. "Fahrenheit 9/11" caused such a sensation, but there was not even a nomination.


    "The best film is "Argo", congratulations to Ryan Jenkins and George Clooney!"


    Ryan and George Clooney gave a high-five, but they couldn''t say how excited they were. Firstly, this was expected. Secondly, the award-presenting guest, like her husband, was really unwelcome.


    Just like last year, everyone in the crew was invited to the stage by Ryan, and everyone embraced and celebrated. In any case, the best film was a victory for the entire crew.


    After George Clooney gave his acceptance speech, Ryan stood in front of the microphone, and his words were more like routine.


    "I know what you are thinking ¡ª Ryan, why are you standing here again? Well, thank you for your choice. This is really a great honor. I have hundreds of people to thank, so I won¡¯t be here. Thank you all here, and I will thank you one by one when I have time next week."


    "However, I would like to especially thank the director of the film, George Clooney. Last year we experienced a difficult time together. Fortunately, we survived and proved that we are right!" (To be continued) R580

 Chapter 665： The right to speak

    The meaning of this year¡¯s Oscars is so obvious that no film can dominate the awards ceremony like last year¡¯s "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King". "Million Dollar Baby" lost the best film but won the best director. And best actress, "Argo", as everyone expected, did nothing at the entire awards ceremony until the final best film.


    For those who attack themselves, Hollywood never minds making the sharpest counterattack.


    The "Aviator" that has been sympathized by many people is not without gain, but this result is definitely not what Martin Scorsese wants.


    Although Oscar also gave his approval to his costumes and art, he also greatly appreciated the brilliant photography and smooth editing, and Cate Blanchett won the best supporting actress, but in the end, the best director and the best For two awards in the film, Martin Scorsese was defeated.


    Since the first Oscar nomination for ¡°Angry Bull¡± in 1980, the dispute between Martin Scorsese and the Oscar Figurine has been talked about by the ¡°malicious idlers¡± in the media. "The Seduction", "Good Guy" in 1990, and "New York Gangs" in 2002, finally, the media gave Martin Scorsese the same treatment as Hitchcock.


    "A truly outstanding director, a truly outstanding master, a truly uncrowned king."


    This is the second day from a comment from the New York Times, the most influential print media on the East Coast.


    Just as most countries have a regional concept, there have always been contradictory traditions between the east and west coasts of the United States. They even summarized part of the reason for Martin Scorsese''s failure.


    "Oscar is so unfeeling! Scorsese is frustrated again. Martin''s call for the award was deafening, but the old and hardened Clint. At the last minute of the outpost, Scorsese was overwhelmed by a big reversal. Grabbing the sky; secondly. Martin Scorsese, the "New York gangster" on the east coast, has no land in Hollywood on the west coast; finally, Eastwood, who is older than Scorsese, has taken all the respect for the elderly. ticket¡­¡­"


    Success is the result of a combination of many factors. As long as there is a failure, it is enough not to invite the judges to see.


    For example, Hilary Swank''s Best Actress, in "Million Dollar Baby", she changed her body shape and appearance, exploded swear words, acted in action scenes, had subtle changes in emotions, and was determined to make progress. Ambition. There are even handicapped dramas that involve sickness, collapse and paralysis... Almost all elements of the little golden man''s favor are combined in one furnace.


    Although Martin Scorsese¡¯s fans are arguing, and some media jokingly claim that Hollywood can make a "Unfortunate Experience of Martin Scorsese", but true warriors dare to face the bleak life...


    Martin Scorsese did not sink into this. The day after the awards ceremony, he contacted Ryan and bought the remake of "Infernal Affairs" for $4 million.


    There is also "Argo". The American media did not have much controversy about its winning of the best film. The mainstream media even commented on the word "Argu", but the Iranian government did not think so.


    The day after the award ceremony ended, the Iranian media set off another round of criticism.


    Iranian National Television criticized the film as a "Central Intelligence Agency advertisement." Iran¡¯s Mehr News Agency said that the Oscar selection was ¡°politically motivated¡± because the US ¡°First Lady¡± Barbara Bush announced the best picture award through a video connection. The entire Hollywood and the United States are "distorting Iranian history."


    But with the singing and dancing of the Oscars, how many people in the United States will really care about Iran''s dissatisfaction?


    Even in the entire Western world, there are a few people who really care about Iran''s voice.


    Perhaps a comment by RIA Novosti is a good explanation for this phenomenon.


    "In the past six months, the Iranians have lost a crucial battle of public opinion. This country has lost its face in front of Ryan Jenkins and his movies, even if Ryan Jenkins himself has not reacted to this event. Any remarks have been made on the incident."


    "The Iranian government regards it as American-style arrogance, but this is precisely his use of the right to speak. The so-called right to speak is the power to control public opinion. Who owns the right to speak. It determines the direction of public opinion. Originally, different people stand from different angles. Naturally, there will be different answers."


    RIA Novosti''s purpose is not simple, but also deliberately cited a few examples.


    "For example, the great geographical discovery of Columbus is the beginning of a new era for Europeans. It means a paradise for adventurers, primitive accumulation of capital, and the industrial revolution. For Native American Indians, it is the beginning of a catastrophe. , It means killing, enslavement, and the disintegration of the original social ecology."


    "It''s just that Western society has always been in control of the mainstream social discourse, and has continuously beautified the achievements of discovering the Americas, so that no one hears the shouts of the Indians. If you write a history of the world from the perspective of the Indians, it would probably be a reality. There is a great upset in history."


    "The controversy caused by "Argo" this time also originated from this. No one is willing to listen to Iran¡¯s views. Although Iran also said that it would remake a film of the same theme in response, whether it is film production, shooting skills, publicity Strategically, they can¡¯t be compared with Hollywood blockbusters. What¡¯s more, in the current context, Iran has been packaged by Ryan Jenkins and his allies as a country full of terrorism and a threat to the security of the world. The source of evil."


    Although RIA Novosti¡¯s report is a bit exaggerated, Ryan does now have a very strong influence on public opinion in the United States.


    For example, in the farce before the awards ceremony, mainstream media reports unanimously aimed at Isaac Mazlasi. There were endless comments like''insulting women and shameless people''. As for his open homosexuality Identity was completely ignored.


    Having said that, no matter what his status is, making such a move in public is definitely a scandal bigger than that of Janet Jackson and Justin Dingblake.


    The spokespersons of the celebrities he harassed have also publicly criticized. For example, Jessica Alba, who was surrounded by some people, also claimed that they would sue Isaac Mezlasi.


    Isaac Mezlasi was indeed famous as he thought, and even made headlines in many major newspapers, but the pressure of criticism caused him a lot of trouble.


    It''s not that he didn''t think about fighting back, but after the finished article was sent to the "Fashion" editorial department, there was no news. Then he received a call from Anna Wintour''s assistant and returned to New York as quickly as possible. .


    It¡¯s been a while since the Oscar awards ceremony ended. According to the tradition of Vogue, a special issue will be issued after the awards ceremony. However, Isaac Metzlassie did not see his comments in the special issue and sat in this fashion magazine. When the devil''s head was opposite, she already faintly felt something bad.


    "Mr. Maizlaxi, your behavior has humiliated the entire "Vogue"."


    Anna Wintour, who was opposite Isaac Mezlasi, was expressionless and did not give him any opportunity to explain. "The reputation of "Fashion" is damaged. The company will hold you accountable. From now on, you will not Another member of "Vogue"."


    "You can''t do this!" A drop of sweat rolled on Isaac Mazlasi''s forehead. It was a cold sweat. His greatest reliance was "Fashion". If he did not have the status of "Fashion" editor, he What would an influential actor and costume designer use to fight against a string of Hollywood''s most popular celebrities?


    "Lauren..." Anna Wintour didn''t care about Isaac Mazlasi''s clamor at all, pressed the intercom, "Notify the people in the security department to supervise Isaac Mazlasi''s resignation."


    "You can''t do this!" Isaac Mazraxiho stood up, "I will complain to the union!"


    "Whatever!" Anna Wintour was still expressionless, "if you still have a chance."


    What does it mean to have a chance?


    Just when Isaac Mazlasi thought about the meaning behind this sentence An assistant walked into the office with two security personnel, and he had to go back and organize it under the supervision of the other party. I lost my belongings...


    The current Isaac Mezzlasi has lost the triumph of the Oscars, instead he has a cold sweat on his forehead. He has a high income, but he is a typical American. Overdraft consumption has long been a habit. More importantly, he just mortgaged a small villa on Long Island some time ago. Without a job, it was a fatal blow...


    Two security guards kept monitoring him until he left the company and got on the elevator.


    After getting out of the elevator and walking into the lobby of the office building, Isaac Mezzlasi held the box with one hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the other. Using his past experience, he found a well-paid job in a short time. , It¡¯s not too difficult. Maybe if you change a media job, there will be better development opportunities.


    Just as he was thinking about it, when he was about to walk to the door of the building, two middle-aged men came to face each other. After their eyes were swept across his face, he immediately stopped and stopped him.


    One of the men took out his ID and lit up in front of him, "Isaac Mazlasi, right?"


    Isaac Mezraxi nodded.


    "We are the inspectors of the National Revenue Agency..."


    Hearing this, Isaac Mazlasi''s heart was shocked. What did the people from the tax bureau ask him for?


    "We have received a report." The other party showed him several official documents, "You concealed part of your income and tax evasion in the documentary you made two years ago. We have the right to ask you to help investigate!"


    With a sound, the box held by Isaac Mazlasi fell to the ground.


    Ruined!


    This is his only thought. (To be continued) R580

 Chapter 666： The most frightening department in the U.S.

    Please remember the URL of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion! The United States is a veritable ten thousand tax country, not to mention the tax categories that even Americans would be dazzled, but only according to income classification The minimum federal tax rate for personal income tax collected is 10% of income, and the maximum is 35%.


    In American movies, the police often say ¡®you have the right to remain silent¡¯ to suspects, but on the issue of taxation, if you evade taxes, you have no right to silence. In addition, the IRS can freeze property without a court trial, which is also a great privilege. Regardless of the source of income, even if it is illegal income, you must file a tax return.


    There is a famous saying in the United States, "Only death and tax payment in this world are eternal", but privately, what people love to say is that-don''t mess with anyone-no one in the United States is afraid of the government or the president, but mention it i will have a lot of people gritted their teeth with hatred.


    Every year, April 15th is approaching, and there are mourning all over the United States. This day is the tax deadline set by the federal law of the United States. Thousands of Americans are dealing with a department known as the ¡°most frightening department in the United States¡±. It is the Internal Revenue Service of the United States, also known as the Internal Revenue Service, abbreviated as i.


    i Inspectors from all over the country who come to collect taxes are not only tall and proficient, but they also carry firearms and other weapons and equipment. Their deterrent power even exceeds the CIA and the Department of Defense. This was as early as the 1930s by the Americans. widely accepted.


    At that time, the most famous gang leader in the United States was Al Capone. He killed his two bosses and became the godfather of the gang. He was evil in daily newspapers, but the government, the FBI, and the police had nothing to say about him¡ªbecause there was no evidence. ¡ª¡ªUntil i, a group of seemingly weak accountants were invited by federal agents to turn around, and through the indispensable crime of''not reporting taxes'', which is a must-have crime of killing people and traveling at home, they will be sent to the unblinking Al Capone. After entering the French Open, his criminal group was wiped out.


    Although the IRS is full of deterrence, it is in fact. Tax evasion and reasonable tax avoidance have become a common phenomenon in the United States. After entering the new century, the annual tax evasion has even exceeded 150 billion US dollars. These people are both high-ranking government officials and civilians.


    If the tax bureau can''t find out, then everything is good. If the tax bureau catches the handle, the fate of the little Frank''s father in "Cat and Mouse Game" is already quite good.


    "According to the news we got." Sitting on the sofa, Taylor flipped through the documents that John had handed her. Said to Ryan, who was a model for Charlize sunglasses, "The scumbag concealed 45 percent of the documentary''s income. In addition, in the past four years, his tax returns were far less than his actual income level. "


    She said to Scarlett Johansson who was sitting on the other side, ¡°According to the inference of Jr. Johnson¡¯s lawyer, he will face a fine of at least 1.3 million U.S. dollars and not less than one and a half years in prison for refusal to bail.¡±


    "So..." Ryan walked to the sofa with a pair of sunglasses designed by Charlize and rubbed Taylor''s head. "Legal tax avoidance is necessary, but don''t do tax evasion."


    "We are all good people who abide by the law." Tyler said with a grin, jumped up and jumped to Scarlett''s side, "Dare to take advantage of the little fat girl. Hmph...this time the scumbag must suffer a lot. ."


    "Actually, I didn''t lose." Scarlett suddenly kissed Taylor on the cheek. "I am just a victim in everyone''s eyes."


    "Eh..." Tyler took a peek at Ryan''s side. After discovering that he was communicating with Charlize about the sunglasses problem, after wiping his face, he still said. "It''s all your saliva, Scarlett!"


    "Don''t you like it very much?" Scarlett raised her eyebrows at her, and Taylor squeezed her chest with great emphasis, "Do you like this too?"


    "Alison!"


    "Little fat girl!"


    The two girls huddled together on the sofa.


    "You two."


    Taking off Ryan''s sunglasses, Charlize re-attached a new pair, tilted his head and looked over there, "Are you two going to turn my design room into a battlefield?"


    "Hey, Charlie, don''t be so stingy, okay?" Taylor stood up, and at the same time pulled Scarlett up, who was about to fall on the carpet, "We all agreed to help ct endorsement."


    "My dear, don''t forget." Charlize squeezed Ryan''s nose playfully and said to that side, "You are also shareholders of the company."


    After the Oscar, Ryan transferred half of the shares of ct to Charlize and the other half to Taylor. At the same time, ct also accepted part of Scarlett¡¯s investment, and the little fat girl also became a minority shareholder.


    "By the way, we planted ads in the movie." Scarlett took Taylor over and walked around Ryan and Charlize, and said, "Ryan, you won''t charge advertising fees, yes. ?"


    "My dears." Ryan allowed Charlize to try sunglasses on his face. "The Queen in Prada is my personal investment. If you are willing to pay for the advertising, I have no objection."


    "Is the script not finished yet?"


    As the heroine of the film, Charlize asked with concern, "How long will you have to wait."


    "The two screenwriters went to New York with the script." Ryan explained briefly, "The film will appropriately seek the advice of Anna Wintour. Anyway, she helped us once."


    As soon as the original novel appeared on the New York Times bestseller list, Ryan¡¯s people approached Lauren Weisberg, who received the film rights for US$3.5 million and a 5% North American box office share.


    After the Oscars ceremony, Charlize saw the script and agreed to play the heroine in it, while Scarlett would play another female assistant Emily. At the same time, there will be a large number of implanted ads related to ct company in the film, which is not only It is only a fashion blockbuster, but also a ct promotional film.


    In the case of Isaac Mezrassi, Anna Wintour did them a small favor, and Ryan didn¡¯t mind asking for her opinion in the film, not to mention that Charlize would be in the fashion circle in the future. Hard work requires dealing with each other, and there is no harm in establishing a good relationship between the two parties.


    According to the news returned by the two screenwriters, Anna Wintour did not have much opinion on the image of her devil, but was very dissatisfied with the weak and tearful scenes, saying that it was completely inconsistent with her own image. As for the screenwriters Some appropriate adjustments are being made.


    There will be a large number of placement ads in the film, the most of which is the ct brand. When Charlize wears his own brand of clothing and sunglasses and walks in the forefront of fashion, it will definitely drive the development of this brand.


    "The company has prepared more than one hundred and sixty ladies'' fashions for the film."


    While sitting in the garden drinking afternoon tea, Charlize also talked about this matter, "There are also 80 pairs of shoes and 40 pairs of sunglasses, now I''m waiting for the boot."


    "I remember some shots of commercials in the script." Scarlett said while stirring the coffee, "Alison can be a cameo, of course, it''s free."


    "You are squeezing minors!" Taylor murmured dissatisfiedly while holding the black tea, "I won''t agree if I don''t pay for it."


    Ryan knew that she was just joking, and asked about other things, "I heard Pat said, how many dramas does Disney want you to be a guest in?"


    "Disney is the standard vampire!"


    Putting down the teacup, Taylor sorted out the curls that fell on his forehead, "They want me to appear in "High School Musical" and "Hannah Montana" in order to attract those teenagers to watch these two series."


    "Did you agree?" Charlize asked.


    "Yeah." She nodded her chin. "It''s just singing two songs."


    "My dear." Ryan put the black tea aside and replaced Charlize''s re-brewed coffee. "This shows that you have a huge influence among teenagers."


    "But now I''m not free to do anything." Taylor shrugged.


    This is the price that must be paid for fame. Since the release of the record last year, until now, the album "Taylor Swift", even if not counting the number of online downloads, has sold 5 million copies of the physical record. Today In the context of the shrinking of the entire recording industry, it can only be described as incredible.


    Even many people in the industry believe that through the accumulation of time, this is very likely to become the last diamond record in history.


    Of course, as in the previous life, most of the people who paid the bill were teenagers.


    Although the relationship between Ryan and Disney''s strong support is indispensable, Taylor''s own talent and charm are the most basic elements, so that some of Disney''s subsequent youth idol works want to borrow her current popularity. .


    A week later, the "Queen Wearing Prada" script was revised, Meryl Streep also agreed to play Miranda, and the crew officially entered the preparatory stage. One of the top producers, Ryan and Charlize, and Director David Frankl went to New York with Most of the scenes in the film need to be shot on-site in Manhattan.


    In addition, there are some location scenes in Paris, but there are not many scenes, Ryan completely handed over to another producer Tina Fei.


    The former head of the editorial team of Jenkins Pictures has become one of the most famous female producers in Hollywood.


    After leaving "American Idol", she has successively produced Disney''s "Hot Girl", "Mean Girl", "Jeans Summer" and other films. Although there are no such super popular films, she has frequently won high prices at a small cost. Box office, is also one of the more trusted producers of Ryan.


    As for "American Idol", like most reality shows, after a few years of rapid development, it has gradually reached a bottleneck stage, but this show has brought huge profits to Ryan personally every year, only last year from all over the world. With a copyright score of 160 million U.S. dollars, it is a veritable gold-making machine.


    After staying in New York for about ten days, Ryan flew to Moeb, Utah to continue the rest of "127 Hours."

 Chapter 667： Drank too much

    In the Canyon National Park in late March, the weather was much better than last time. When Ryan arrived in Horseshoe Canyon, Natalie and the crew had been here for more than half a month. They not only rented a helicopter. Airplanes, a large number of scenic shots were taken, and several extreme sports players such as mountain off-road vehicles and rock climbing were recruited, and some rock climbing and mountain riding that Ryan could not complete in person were completed.


    In other words, most of the most difficult shots have been taken.


    "Hi, Nat."


    "You finally came."


    After getting out of the car, Ryan found Natalie behind the monitor.


    The long island girl¡¯s brown curly hair is tied into a ponytail, with a baseball cap buttoned on it, and she is wearing a simple and capable blue denim. Although the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose cover half of her face, she can still see a bit of fatigue .


    "You rest first." Natalie looked at Ryan, then turned her gaze back to the monitor, "There is no role for you today."


    Nodding, Ryan walked to Natalie''s assistant Anna, took the thermos, poured a cup of coffee, and walked back.


    "Thank you!"


    Looking at the coffee handed in front of her, Natalie took it and put a hat on Ryan at the same time, "It''s windy here, please pay attention."


    Canyon National Park is sunny, looking into the distance, the blue sky and the brown-red land are distinct, it is a completely charming scenery, only one thing is not good, the wind here is a bit big, and often the film crew¡¯s location filming tape Come to trouble.


    "Much better now."


    While resting, Natalie said to Ryan, who was sitting next to him, ¡°Last week, there was a strong wind of level 7 here. The crew¡¯s two small light shields and three bundles of climbing ropes were blown. Where."


    "As long as you don''t get blown away." Ryan squeezed her visibly pointed chin.


    "If it''s blown away by the wind." Natalie took his hand and threw it back. "There won''t be so much trouble."


    "What happened?"


    Listen to the meaning of Natalie''s words. There seems to be some trouble.


    "Busy at work, a little bit stressful." Natalie obviously didn''t want to talk about it, and changed the subject, "How is Scarlet''s affairs going?"


    "It''s basically done." Ryan told Natalie about the general process.


    The two chatted without a few words, and the crew resumed filming. Ryan sat next to him, just watching Natalie coordinating the entire crew without giving any comments.


    A professional mountain biker, riding a bicycle, appeared in front of the slide track laid by the crew, and waited for the assistant director to call the start. On the rugged rocky road, there was a good show of flickering, and finally rushed down a rock and fell heavily on the thick cushion.


    "Passed." Natalie made an''ok'' gesture to the front, "Let''s take shot No. 78."


    In the afternoon shooting, almost all of them were shots of Alan Ruston riding a mountain bike. Two specially-appointed professional athletes took turns taking turns. Although there was a puncture in one of the cars, it came at dusk. Natalie announced the completion of this part of the play.


    Because the situation at night in the canyon will become more complicated and the trailer will not be able to drive in. After the crew finished work, they took more than a dozen off-road vehicles back to the nearest town of Arbens. Natalie and they contracted a whole small motel there.


    "I miss you, Ryan."


    After getting in the car, Natalie raised the baffle, took off her sunglasses and hat and hugged him. Ryan gave her a wet kiss, and said when the four lips were pulled apart by the silver wire. "My dear, you have been in the canyon for too long, and your mouth is full of the smell of mud."


    "You don''t like it?"


    Natalie''s eyes widened, she leaned forward and kissed Ryan again. The two kissed each other''s bodies. If it wasn''t for the environment, they would have torn off each other''s clothes.


    Of course, after arriving at the motel, the two went directly to the room with dinner, and it was already more than an hour before they sat together to enjoy dinner.


    After the shower, the two sat at the only table in the room, enjoying the reheated beef stew with potatoes.


    "You should strengthen your nutrition, Nat."


    Seeing that Natalie just put down the spoon after not eating too much, Ryan couldn''t help reminding, "You have lost a lot of weight during this period, and you need to pay attention."


    "I think it''s pretty good now." Natalie picked up the silver pot and filled the empty cups with coffee again. "Don''t you think I am in the right shape?"


    "You should increase your weight to a hundred pounds." Ryan raised his right hand and made a deliberate kneading gesture, "I almost couldn''t feel your **** just now."


    "Ryan!" Natalie couldn''t help but blackened her face and grinded her teeth. "I won''t talk to you in ten seconds from now."


    "Hey, Nat." Ryan ate the last piece of beef on the disc and held up the coffee cup. "Is this cruel?"


    "Ten, nine, eight..." Natalie didn''t answer his words and counted down seriously, "Three, two, one!"


    "Time is up!" Natalie glared at him last and walked to the big bed, "I''m going to bed, and I have to get up early tomorrow to shoot."


    The next day, the sun had just climbed to the horizon, and the crew had arranged a location outside the Blue John Canyon. Three cameras were set up on the slide rails. After Natalie gave her order, she immediately tried to shoot some sceneries. .


    "Are you ready, Ryan?" Natalie looked over.


    Ryan is dressed in standard outdoor sportswear, tidying up the earphone cords and giving Natalie a thumbs up.


    Most of the scenes filmed here are not difficult, nothing more than some shots of him traveling through the canyon. After he put on the headphones, Natalie called out to start.


    In the triangle surrounded by three huge rocks, Ryan wears headphones and moves with the front camera, maintaining high enough interest, striding forward, and occasionally seeing his reflection from the camera lens. .


    On his left and right, there are also cameras shooting in the distant view.


    Following the camera, Ryan went all the way to the entrance of the narrow Blue John Canyon. It was here that Alan Ruston had an accident. This well-prepared hiker had forgotten to bring his deadliest mobile phone. Don''t keep fighting for survival.


    After Alan Ruston was rescued, the park management found his broken arm here and returned it to him. After cremating the broken arm, Allen spilled the ashes in Blue John Canyon.


    The scene about Blue John Canyon was completed in the studio a long time ago. Ryan was not interested in going into the adventure. After shooting here for a period of time, the crew, accompanied by the park management, took a long way to come. Under the rock wall that I passed, here is the place where Alan Ruston descended from the rope to survive.


    Someone from the prop group had already been here. When Ryan and the others walked there, they were setting up the smelly little puddle that Alan Ruston had mentioned.


    A large piece of thin silica gel that was exactly the same color as the ground fell on the low-lying place. Several crew members opened the large water bottle they carried and poured the turbid liquid on it. Some people added some realistic water to the water. From the appearance of the dead bodies of insects and small animals, this puddle is really scary.


    Ryan sat aside and allowed the makeup artist to pretend to be a handicapped person who had just broken his arm. His face and lips were the focus of the makeup artist¡¯s care. Not only did they have to match the situation in the studio. In the close-up shots, he fully showed his severe water shortage.


    "This is beeswax."


    The female makeup artist named Nancy reminded Ryan, "Don''t lick with your tongue."


    "Don''t worry." Ryan nodded slightly.


    It took forty minutes to complete the makeup work. Ryan walked to the puddle, looked at the disgusting color, and asked the person next to him, "What''s inside?"


    "It''s mainly practical colors and syrups."


    The answer to him was Natalie who came from the other side. After the others left here tacitly, she said to Ryan, "My dear, it''s best to do it once, otherwise we can only stay here today. "


    "No problem." Ryan moved closer and said in a low voice, "Don''t forget, we practiced many times last night."


    During some activities last night, he used Natalie''s chest as a puddle, and then threw himself on it several times in a hungry and thirst manner.


    "We will sleep in separate rooms tonight!" Natalie glared at him and walked back.


    "Scene 78, Act 16." The assistant director''s voice came over, "Now it''s on!"


    Walking quickly to the puddle, Ryan knelt in front, like a traveler in the desert dying of thirst, plunged into the puddle, and like a survival animal, desperately drinking this dirty Water that can save lives.


    He used his only left hand to pour water into his mouth desperately. After drinking several sips, he remembered that he still had a water glass. He took it out of his travel bag and filled it up In the mouth, face, and body, the desire to survive overwhelmed everything at this time. These dirty waters are the hope of life.


    Even with a full hiccup, he was still drinking until the whole person became mad.


    Filling the water bottle again, throwing away all the burden, only with the life-saving water, hung the arm that was severed by himself, he stood up without hesitation, hobbled on the journey, embarked on the self-salvation the way.


    "Cut!" Natalie''s crisp voice sounded, "Passed!"


    Ryan knelt on the ground again. After retching twice, he vomited out the gulps of water. Although he consciously controlled the swallowing movement just now, he still drank too much. The hiccup is not a pretense.


    "Oh, God!"


    Throwing the camera to the assistant, Natalie rushed over for the first time, hugged Ryan''s back, and asked urgently, "Ryan! Ryan!"


    "It''s okay." Ryan raised his hand and shook his finger. "Just drank too much and just vomit it out!" (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 668： The audience is the foundation of the movie

    The filming of the crew in Canyon National Park continued until mid-April. After completing the scene of Alan Ruston being rescued by a helicopter, this documentary-style biographical film ended all filming. Ryan and The others returned to Los Angeles together.


    After only three days of rest, Natalie went into post-production.


    Ryan, at the invitation of Drew Barrymore, participated in a trial film of Flower Pictures. The film he watched was "Brokeback Mountain", which had just been cut out of the main plot.


    Due to time constraints, this film, which was declared for the Cannes Film Festival this year, has not yet completed all the post-production. What they saw was a sample without the opening and ending or even many pictures without special effects.


    Although many details of the film have changed, the main plot is the same as in the previous life, especially the relationship between Jack and Ennis, which is far less thrilling, unrestrained, and unusually subtle than those of traditional **** movies. This may also be related to Li Ang. It is related to coming from the East.


    Even if you want to come to the theater later, even if you are under pressure, it will be like before and will not cause too much trouble.


    And the scale of the **** movement is getting bigger and bigger. Several states, including Massachusetts, have successively legalized **** marriage. At the Oscar next year, many judges will definitely consider giving this film a heavyweight award.


    You know, there are countless gays and bisexuals hidden in Hollywood, and many of them are heavyweights, such as David Geffen, one of the American super-rich and one of the Big Three in DreamWorks.


    "Mr. Lee, a very good movie."


    After the people around Ang Lee left, Ryan walked over and shook hands with each other, "I think this film will make a difference at the Cannes Film Festival and next year''s Oscars."


    "Thank you!" Li An''s eyes were sunken, his face was haggard that could not be concealed.


    Indeed, for a director like him, it only took more than seven months to complete the film preparation to most of the post-production. Definitely under tremendous pressure, I definitely want to work overtime a lot of times.


    Having said that, if you can really get heavyweight awards at the Cannes Film Festival and Oscars, all this is worth it.


    Ryan only briefly said a few words. The two parties are in two completely different circles. Except for work matters, there is no other contact. After expressing a more satisfactory view of the film, he left the trial with Drew. Mirrored small theater.


    "Ryan..."


    Standing in front of the theater. When preparing to board the car separately, Drew seemed a little worried, "Are you sure this movie won''t cause a huge disturbance?"


    "When facing the media, you only need to hold a little bit." Ryan lightly patted Drew on the shoulder, "True love has nothing to do with gender, age, and even less faith and ideology."


    "You always make sense." Drew shrugged, and Ryan waved his hand and walked towards his car. The last sentence was left, "Trust me, Drew, this film will leave a special place in film history."


    "Brokeback Mountain" even became a symbol. A symbol.


    The film will premiere during the Cannes Film Festival, but the release time in North America will definitely be before the awards season. With the attributes of European filmmakers, such a theme is definitely to their liking.


    With the coming of May. North America will start a new round of box office competition. Ryan will first be released in this regard is Nicole''s production and starring "Paddington Bear", the premiere of the film will be placed in the birthplace of Paddington Bear in the United Kingdom . It was screened simultaneously in the United Kingdom and the United States in late April.


    Unexpectedly, the film was rated pg-level in Britain and the United States at the same time, and the reason is that Paddington bears no pants in the film...


    Fortunately, the PG level only needs the accompany of the parents, and does not restrict children''s viewing. It is also difficult for children of this age to enter the theater alone, and the impact is not too great.


    The film received 37.68 million U.S. dollars in North America in the first week, which is not bad for a total investment of less than 60 million U.S. dollars. This is a comedy after all. The situation in the UK is slightly better, with a score of 13.56 million pounds. , Is the highest first week box office performance in the UK since 2005.


    After all, this is a classic cartoon image born in the UK, and it is also very popular with the British.


    Because of the lack of strong competitors in the same period, the film actually stayed at the top of the British and American box office charts for two weeks, until the release of "The Kings of Heaven"...


    The production cost was 130 million U.S. dollars, directed by the great director Ridley Scott, starring Orlando Bloom, who became popular after "The Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean," and Eva, who dares to show off. Green and the powerful Edward Norton and Liam Neeson joined. If placed before last year, this would be a strong contender for the annual box office title.


    It is a pity that since last year, the three major productions of war epic films, especially "Troy", "King Arthur" and "Alexander the Great" have not met expectations. This theme inevitably falls into a trough.


    No matter what efforts Fox made in the twentieth century, the results after the film''s release did let them experience the bleak feeling of Warner Bros. on "Alexander the Great", even though many film critics are applauding this film. But it didn''t help the box office.


    "This is a better film than "Gladiator." It''s deeper and more thorough, with fewer action shots, and more discussion about human motivation."


    From Roger Albert''s column, this well-known veteran film critic in the United States gave the movie a high score of nine!


    "A very amazing historical work, very worthy of respect, director Ridley Scott''s latest epic work, this work is his strongest expression."


    David Denby also scored nine points for "The Kingdom of Heaven" in the online column.


    These two representative figures of film critics also showed their appreciation for this film. However, the ruthless box office once again proved that they are really just living in the glory of the past, and they are indeed old. However, the film critics are too far away from the taste of the audience, so far away that they have forgotten that the audience is the basis of the film.


    "Kings of Heaven" opened in North America on May 6th, the first weekend of the summer file. In the first week, it got a box office of 19.63 million U.S. dollars among the 3,216 theaters. This result almost declared the film''s failure or even a failure. Lost money, because in the summer file of the competition for incentives, basically every weekend there will be a large-scale commercial release.


    Such a dismal first week''s box office shows that the film is not competitive at all.


    The big production that will be released in the next week is the "X-Men 3: Last Stand", which has been hyped up by Disney. In the publicity, this film was branded as the end of the "X-Men" series. No., the ultimate battle between the transformed Phoenix Girl and Wolverine Logan attracted countless movie fans into the theater.


    As one of Marvel and Disney¡¯s key brand series of films, whether for promotion or distribution, the film appears to be extremely strong, and the box office performance also proves Disney''s confidence.


    Although only 3,690 theaters joined the screening industry in the first week, the box office of "X-Men 3: Last Week" reached $122.86 million in the first week, making it the first film to break the $100 million mark in the first week of this year. the film.


    There is almost no suspense. The opposite of the box office is the film¡¯s reputation among film critics.


    "Go to your "X-Men 3: Last Stand", which was supposed to be the climax of the trilogy, but it became the worst part of the entire X-Men series. The only meaning of this film is that It proves that the first two are not bad enough, it can only survive rudely on the reputation of comics."


    Roger Albert made no secret of his dislike for this movie, and only scored a three-pointer, but unfortunately he didn''t affect many people.


    The super sales of "X-Men 3: Last Stand" severely squeezed the living space of other movies in the same period. The box office of "Kings of Heaven" fell below 10 million U.S. dollars in the second week, and fell to 9.62 million U.S. dollars. .


    And the "Danny the Wolf Dog" released in the same week was completely cannon fodder. Fortunately, the producers did not have much hope for the film, otherwise it would not be arranged in such a fiercely competitive schedule.


    Nicole¡¯s "Paddington Bear" is no exception. The North American box office in the fourth week was only more than $12.5 million, but the North American box office totaled more than $90 million. With at least one month of screening time remaining, the final The North American box office exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. There is definitely no problem.


    Using what Nicole said to Ryan when he left London It¡¯s a bit difficult for the film to recover its cost at the box office, but the network, TV and DVD video copyright negotiations for the film have been completed. Only the United Kingdom and the United States are three. On the other hand, it sold 35 million U.S. dollars, which is enough to bring about 20 million U.S. dollars in profits for her investor.


    The money is not too much, perhaps not enough to cover Nicole¡¯s half-year expenditure. The film is profitable but she is very happy. After all, she has also established a Kidman studio, and she cannot always maintain a balance of payments as the biggest goal. .


    However, these are not within Ryan''s consideration for the time being. He rushed to Cannes in early May and took over the position of chairman of the jury of the 58th Cannes Film Festival.


    As early as when Ang Lee found Australia and discussed "Brokeback Mountain" with him, Ryan received an invitation from France. After some consideration, he finally agreed. This is not a bad thing, is it?


    "Brokeback Mountain" not only entered the competition unit, but also the opening film of this year''s film festival. This theme is very popular among European filmmakers.


    In addition, Ryan also saw Yishui''s Chinese films on the list of entries and screenings, such as "Green Red", "Promise", "Mythology" and so on. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 669： Chairman of the Jury

    The Cannes Film Festival is simple and complicated. To say it is simple, it is a similar program every year; to say it is complicated, it is because behind Cannes, like Hollywood and Oscars, it is full of various factors below the stage.


    However, from the surface, the Cannes Film Festival is as bright and lively as it is.


    For foreign filmmakers and local residents, the biggest feature of the Cannes Film Festival is the high dynamics and high decibels. The organizers of the Cannes Film Festival also admit this. As long as the film is shown, many people will be gathered. They are all happily. Whether or not the movie has appetite is next, the key is to find the right feeling of''seeing a movie in a lively world''.


    Maybe Cannes is really an ideal place to watch movies, and everyone who comes here knows how to ¡®make fun¡¯.


    During the film festival, the streets and seaside of Cannes were filled with the voices of movie fans. Crowds of movie fans and tourists laughed and greeted each other and walked towards the cinema and restaurants. The sound of praise and criticism of movies was everywhere, and the surrounding tourists would also listen with ears From time to time, I take a peek at Tan Xing Zhengnong''s fans. This feeling makes the''movie critics'' very happy.


    The sound of the theater is more''elegant'' than that on the street, because when a movie is being shown, the character always speaks some''foreign languages'' that are not understood by most of the audience, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic. The sound of music coming is either classical or modern. It may be the sound of nature or unbearable noise, and the "film diversity" advertised by the Cannes Film Festival can be reflected in these sounds.


    Of course, there is another kind of mixed sound that is indispensable, that is, the sound of Hollywood. In today''s globalization, it is difficult to find a film festival without the impact of Hollywood films.


    In addition to participating films such as "Brokeback Mountain" and "Sin City", Hollywood is also good at performing various activities such as premieres, exhibitions, retrospectives, and film dealer meetings, so that Cannes has already regarded Hollywood films as highlights and focal points. , American English with various accents echoed around the huge and expensive advertisements.


    There is also a scream that even a film festival that advertises elegance and art will not lack. Filmmakers from all over the world promote their products.


    Many films that are not shortlisted in the competition of the Cannes Film Festival will also be screened during the festival, such as "Kung Fu", "Promise", "Mythology", "Underworld" and so on that Ryan was very familiar with in his previous life.


    Business-oriented Hollywood will not let go of this opportunity. DreamWorks'' "World War" and Miramax''s "Sin City" almost use posters to cover the Carlton Hotel where guests are staying.


    The most exaggerated is Stephen Chow''s "Kung Fu". This film has a huge poster on the highest point in Cannes, which can be seen in almost every corner of the small city of Cannes.


    Before the opening, Ryan once contacted Steven Zhou, but the other party offered a price of 15 million US dollars for North American copyright. Let him choose to give up without hesitation.


    Today¡¯s Cannes Film Festival is not what it used to be. The entire world¡¯s film industry has been smashed by Hollywood. Europe has long lost its position as the center of the world¡¯s cinema. Even though the French never recognized it, the Cannes Film Festival It is an indisputable fact that it is getting harder and harder to attract big-name movie stars.


    Perhaps this is one of the reasons why they invited Ryan to be the chairman of the jury.


    In the evening, the red carpet ceremony of this film festival officially kicked off. As the chairman of the jury, Ryan and eight other jury members. It was the first to appear on the red carpet, and judging from the distribution of the members of the jury, it is enough to witness the impact of Hollywood on the European Film Festival.


    In addition to Ryan, the judges also included two orthodox Hollywood members, Hilary Swank, actress of Oscar Shinco and Mexican actress Salma Hayek. In addition, Baige Wu, a director who was only known to the world through Hollywood, also has a background in Hollywood.


    The red carpet is not long, it is more suitable for female stars to show their demeanor, after the members of the jury take a group photo routinely. Just walked up the steps of the Palais des Festivals.


    In fact, the biggest highlight of the red carpet is the judges, not only Ryan, but also Shinco''s Oscar queen. Compared with them, the following movie stars have very few world-famous ones.


    People like Jessica Alba, Molika Herawat, Kim Hee Sun, Gao Yuanyuan, etc., are estimated to be as far away as Cannes to their hometown from world-class influence.


    Because of language barriers with some judges, and there is no translation relationship here, Ryan spends most of the time communicating with Hilary Swank, who is standing next to him. Female men can make their debut in Hollywood by virtue of not outstanding conditions. A smart man, implicitly expressed his support for Hollywood movies.


    As the chairman of the jury, Ryan has a great say in the attribution of film awards, just like last year¡¯s Palme d¡¯Or. Without the support of Quentin Tasino, it¡¯s hard to say "Fahrenheit 911" Can get the heaviest award at the Cannes Film Festival.


    After chatting with Salma Hayek for a few more words, there was a huge cheer on the red carpet. Sophie Marceau, the beloved French man, walked onto the red carpet.


    Then, there was a scene that surprised everyone.


    The French actress wore a double-shouldered evening dress with suspenders. When she walked to the middle of the red carpet, perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, the **** her left suddenly slipped down, and Sophie Mare went into battle in a vacuum. Suo immediately had a good time, but the female star, who has always been bold and unrestrained, did not panic. After Shi Shiran packed up, as if nothing had happened, she continued to wave her hands to the fans on both sides and walk forward.


    But after this scene happened, almost all the reporters surrounded her.


    Although I often admire each other¡¯s naked body in movies, it¡¯s not bad to witness it with my own eyes occasionally. After the filming, the sales of the newspaper will surely rise a lot tomorrow.


    The last person who stepped on the red carpet was the main creator of the opening film Brokeback Mountain. Compared with the last trial screening, Ang Lee''s spirit was much better. After the news that Ryan was the chairman of the judging committee, he was right. The confidence of the film has increased a lot.


    The main cast of the film is the same as in the previous life. Miss Anne Hathaway, who is still unknown because Ryan took the "Princess Diaries", appeared again in this film, embracing the weight so far. The heaviest red carpet.


    "I heard that this is a **** subject?" Hilary Swank''s questioning voice came from the side.


    "A very good movie." Ryan cooperated with the reporter arranged by the organizer to take a photo with the female man, and continued, "It will start immediately, and you will know after watching it."


    After a brief opening ceremony, the opening film "Brokeback Mountain" kicked off. Compared to when Ryan watched it a month ago, the film must be completely finished, except for Jack Drizzt and Ennis DeMarna. In addition to the unremarkable love, the charming scenery shown in the film also attracts people''s attention.


    A pair of same-sex couples who could not get together because of secular prejudice ended in tragedy.


    Although he does not support homosexuality, Ryan is not disgusted with this movie. Ang Lee uses subtle and ingenious techniques to show the fiery but long love between two men.


    Other people''s senses are not clear to Ryan, but in his previous life, some people around him changed their attitude towards homosexuality because of the relationship with this movie. Many people gradually changed from disgust to understanding and sympathy.


    An excellent movie has a huge impact.


    After the opening film, Ryan, as the chairman of the jury, accepted a joint interview with reporters.


    "Mr. Jenkins, I heard that "The Best Time", one of the participating films, has not been completed yet?"


    What the reporter mentioned was a Taiwanese film. A few days ago, the director who hyped the film wanted to learn about the King of Sunglasses, and did not come up with his own work until the last moment.


    Sitting on the stage, Ryan looked down. The press conference hall was crowded with reporters. He casually took the microphone, attracted everyone¡¯s attention, and said, "You should go to the "Best Time" to complete the progress. Ask the director, if the film fails to appear at the premiere on the 15th, the jury will disqualify him from participating."


    In this regard, he has long reached an agreement with the organizing committee and other judges.


    "A lot of people criticized the last film festival for being swayed by politics. I don''t know what you think."


    Glancing at the reporter, Ryan said, "The jury''s criteria for judging awards are the film itself and not others. The artistic standard is the highest standard for this jury to judge films."


    "As the most famous actor and producer in Hollywood." A French reporter asked, "When you judge, do you tend to favor American movies?"


    "As I said, art is the highest standard." Ryan said quietly, "The factors we consider will not include geographical and political factors."


    "Mr. Jenkins What do you think of the opening film "Brokeback Mountain"?" Another reporter stood up and asked after being named by the host.


    "Before the results of the awards are announced." Ryan refrained from giving him a foolish look, "I will not evaluate any entries."


    "Then do you think it is possible for Chinese films to win awards? For example, "Green Red"." The questioner was obviously a Chinese reporter.


    "First of all, I haven''t watched any Chinese films in the competition."


    Ryan has always treated reporters equally, "Secondly, please don''t ask such questions again. I will not evaluate any entries until the results of the awards are announced."


    As the chairman of the jury, it is undoubtedly very stupid to publicly evaluate an entry before the award is awarded.


    In the following days, apart from exchanging views with other judges, Ryan spent most of his time watching the entries in the competition. Although many movies made him drowsy, as the chairman of the jury, he could not be like the previous Oscars. Vote with your feet, that would be too irresponsible. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 670： The harshest condemnation

    Three days after the film festival, most of the films that participated in the competition have appeared. Every evening, Ryan and other members of the jury will meet in the conference room provided by the organizer, and with the assistance of translators, exchange opinions about the participating films. Unlike the typical commercial Hollywood movies, the special theme and slow pace of "Brokeback Mountain" have won the favor of many European judges.


    Of course, European judges are more inclined to European films.


    "It''s a very shocking movie. I participated in the screening of director von Trier."


    A member of the jury, the female director from France, Agn¨¨s Varda, strongly recommended to Ryan and other judges, ¡°The shooting method seems to be acting in a stage play. The whole process seems to have a bright future, and the dark truth in the end makes People can hardly face it, feeling that it not only reflects the problem of black people, but is actually suitable for every kind of politics."


    Ryan did not comment, and others have lobbied him for this movie.


    Agn¨¨s Varda is talking about the entry "Mandalay" by the Danish Jewish director Lars von Trier. This film is the sequel to "Dogtown" and also by Lars von Trier. The second part of the American trilogy.


    Of course, these two movies have nothing to do with Nicole in this world, and the heroine of the second movie is replaced by Kirsten Dunst.


    In fact, in the European film industry, there are many people who support Lars von Trier, and many people have spoken nice things to the Jewish director in front of Ryan these days.


    Although the public relations activities of the Cannes Film Festival are not as active as the Oscars, they are not much better. The yachts on the beach and the parties in various hotels are more than just reception parties.


    "What do you think?" Hilary Swank, who was sitting next to him, asked in a low voice.


    Ryan shrugged and also whispered, "Do you think someone who has never been to the United States can make a film that reflects American social problems?"


    "You can see the movie tomorrow." Ryan gestured to her with a gesture of discussing later, "We will discuss it after watching."


    The premiere of "Mandalay" is second only to the opening film "Brokeback Mountain". Not only did Lars von Trier ask someone to lobby the judges, he also sent a formal invitation to the jury. Of course, watching the participating films is also the duty and responsibility of the judges.


    The next day, when Ryan arrived at the Palais des Festivals, he happened to meet Lars von Teer and Kirsten Dunst. Although he was not interested in his movies, he also smiled and shook hands. They also responded with a smile, the circles of the two are very different, and there will not be much overlap in the future.


    "Hello. Ryan."


    "Hello, Caroline."


    Kirsten Dunst, wearing a bright yellow dress, is different. Even if she is not a familiar friend, strictly speaking, the two met more than ten years ago. She became popular because of her role as Ryan. The "Spider-Man" series under the company''s name.


    There are also more common topics between the two.


    "I took a week off with Director Remy." She waved to both sides while whispering to Ryan, "After the awards ceremony is over, I will rush back to New York to continue the filming of Spider-Man 3."


    "Is there any interest in appearing in Mary Jane in the future?" Ryan joked casually, "You should have heard the surprising people say, I plan to restart this series in a few years."


    Kirsten Dunst knew that Ryan was joking. She shrugged gracefully, "You know, Ryan, everyone is calling me Mary Jane now. Not Kirsten Caroline Dunst."


    "This shows that they all like you."


    The red carpet in front of the Palais des Festivals was not long, and the two were about twenty feet behind Lars von Trier, and soon walked into the interview area.


    Generally speaking. On most occasions when Ryan appeared, it was easy to steal the limelight from others, but after they walked into the interview area, all the reporters not only closely surrounded Lars von Trier, who was advancing for half a minute, but also rarely maintained good results. The order, without making any messy noises.


    Except for the less loud fan noise on both sides of the red carpet, the interview area was quite quiet at this time, and Ryan could clearly hear what Lars von Trier was saying in English.


    When a reporter asked about his self-proclaimed German ancestry, the Jewish director blurted out, "I have always been proud of my Jewish identity, but after all these years of thinking, I am no longer concerned about this. I am happy about my identity. I found out that I am actually a Nazi believer. My family is from Germany. This excites me. What can I say? I understand Adolf Hitler very well, and I even sympathize with him a little bit. "


    "Oh, God!"


    Kirsten Dunst next to him covered his mouth and whispered, as if he couldn''t believe that these words were from the Jewish director.


    Ryan''s brows frowned tightly, but he didn''t do anything, and the other party''s words were obviously not over yet.


    Faced with the recorders and cameras of more than a dozen reporters, Lars von Trier still speaks loudly, ¡°I¡¯m not saying that I support World War II, nor do I dislike the Jews; in fact, I support them¡ªall Jews, of course. Israel is a different story."


    Perhaps realizing that there is still a problem with his statement, he stopped at this point, thinking about how to continue, and finally said what excited the reporter, "Well, I am a Nazi!"


    When these words were finished, Kirsten Dunst next to Ryan was almost stunned, as if he didn''t even know the director standing in front of him.


    She is not a fool, knowing that this is likely to bring serious consequences, and this work she starred in may be expelled from the film festival.


    "Mr. Jenkins!"


    Immediately a reporter discovered a more exciting news point. The next one is one of the most famous Jewish people in the world. Two quick-reaction reporters have already rushed over, "Director Von Trier claims to be a Nazi, do you have any? What do you think."


    "In this world of freedom and democracy, I can''t believe what I hear, but my ears tell me that what I hear is the truth."


    Pulling the microphone beside him, Ryan turned his head and left, "Sorry, I don''t think I''m suitable for the premiere of this film."


    After that, he ignored the reporters and strode out of the Festival Palace.


    After not going very far, there was a subtle sound of footsteps behind him. Kirsten Dunst chased him, and when he walked to Ryan, he whispered, "I will withdraw from all the promotion of this movie. ."


    Nodded, the two of them didn''t care about the reporters'' camera shots and questions. They quickly walked to the end of the red carpet. Ryan''s car was already waiting here. After he opened the car door, he said to Kirsten Dunst. With a please gesture, Mary Jane got into the car immediately.


    "What can I do?" Kersten is a smart man, "Do I need to make a statement?"


    Ryan shook his head, "I''ll take care of it."


    If Lars von Trier just talked in private, it wouldn¡¯t be a big deal. Even if he publicly said that he was a Nazi, Ryan would not bother to pay attention to him as long as he was not in front of him, but now so many cameras circle him here. In the matter, he is also the chairman of the jury, so he must take an open attitude.


    "John." Ryan said to the co-pilot''s bodyguard and assistant. "Go back and draw up a statement of condemnation, be more strict, and help me contact the official of the Cannes Film Festival when I get back."


    Today is the age of information. News spreads through the Internet at an unimaginably fast speed. When it was sent to Kirsten Dunst and returned to the hotel where he was staying, Ryan received the head of the Cannes Film Festival¡¯s board of directors, Pierre? Let''s call.


    After he learned the news, he had already contacted Lars von Trier, and the other party said it was just a joke, and then he would issue a public apology.


    "Sorry, Mr. Jean." Ryan''s voice was very calm and his attitude was very determined. "The incident involved my ethnicity and the participating films. It is difficult for me to judge the entries in a fair manner. I think I am no longer suitable for the role. The chairman and judges of this jury..."


    If you don''t take a tough attitude, what will the North American public think of him? Nazis are a topic that all Jewish organizations cannot tolerate.


    Since the end of World War II, the National Jewish Association has been funding operations to hunt down the remnants of the Nazis.


    After hanging up the phone, Ryan asked John to forward several severely worded statements to several familiar European media, and then waited for the French side to deal with it.


    This is definitely the biggest scandal in the history of the Cannes Film Festival. It is definitely not a joke that can explain the past. If the French side continues to tolerate this behavior, even if he is not present at the time, he will resign from all posts on the jury.


    Although Lars von Trier issued an apology before noon, after a special meeting of the Cannes Film Festival¡¯s board of directors, it quickly made a decision and held a press conference in the afternoon.


    "The Cannes Film Festival aims to provide a special platform for film workers around the world to present their works and defend their rights to artistic innovation and expression. The Board of Directors of the Festival held a special meeting today. Director Er¡¯s unacceptable and intolerable remarks expressed regret. He also violated the humanitarian and benevolent ideas advocated by the film festival."


    "The festival board strongly condemned Lars von Trier''s remarks and announced that Lars von Trier and his films were''unpopular'' at the Cannes Film Festival. This decision will take effect immediately."


    Watching the news conference on TV, Ryan shrugged, "Brokeback Mountain" was missing a strong competitor.


    In the Western world, any public declaration of oneself as a Nazi is absolutely something that mainstream society cannot tolerate.


    In the French statement, the Latin word ¡°unpopular¡± was even used. This is a legal order used in diplomatic acts to prohibit people from entering the country. It is the best thing a country can do for foreigners. Sternly condemned. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 671： Chinese movie night

    "The French are true Nazis, and they are still in it!"


    This is what Lars von Trier told Danish reporters after he was expelled from the Cannes Film Festival.


    After his remarks in an interview were reported, he was criticized by almost all the media from North America to the European continent to Germany, but the Danish director seemed to have no regrets.


    "I am very proud to be listed as an unpopular person at the Cannes Film Festival. In the end, history will tell us that we are actually all Nazis."


    Lars von Trier confronted the French media on this, and there was a fight between the two sides.


    After issuing a sternly worded statement, Ryan didn''t bother to pay attention to this kind of jumping clown. As the chairman of the jury, he had too many things to do during the festival. In addition to routinely watching the participating films, he also had to attend Cannes. Some of the official events organized by the festival, such as''Cannes Chinese Movie Night''.


    This year coincides with the 100th anniversary of the birth of Chinese film. The Cannes Film Festival officially organized this celebration specifically for the 100th anniversary of Chinese film. Because of the large-scale press conference held in advance and it has special significance, the Chinese film The night event attracted the attention of many people. As soon as it got dark, a long line of reporters gathered at the entrance of the Carlton Hotel beach where the event was held.


    After all, this is an official event organized by the Cannes Film Festival. Not only the Chinese filmmakers participating in the film festival will participate, but some heavyweight stars have also received invitations from the Cannes Film Festival board of directors.


    When Ryan appeared on the beach with the director of the film festival Pierre Jean, it is no exaggeration to say that he completely robbed today¡¯s protagonists-the filmmakers from China-from the limelight. The scene became extremely chaotic, and even the hotel security staff and the media pushed and pulled each other, arguing, and even the wolf dogs were led by the security staff. Only then did he squeeze to the entrance of the front row step by step.


    Even so, the reporters did not spare Ryan, especially a few Chinese reporters. Throwing away the Chinese star who was interviewed, he rushed in front of him at the speed of the hurdler who made the limelight in Athens last year.


    of course. The issue they are most concerned about is whether the Chinese film can win awards.


    "Mr. Jenkins, as we all know, you have always liked Chinese culture."


    Compared with the last time they went to China to hold the premiere, these entertainment reporters already have the spirit of paparazzi, "Can you comment on the participating Chinese films? Will they win prizes?"


    As for Ryan''s comment not to publicly evaluate the participating films, they were selectively forgotten.


    ""Cyan Red", "Underworld" and "The Last Time" are just like the other entries, they are all excellent works." Ryan must say that they are all clich¨¦s. "Regardless of whether they can win or not, but three films are shortlisted in the competition at the same time, which shows that Chinese films have already possessed strong competitiveness."


    "So you think "The Last Time" is also a Chinese movie?" A Chinese reporter immediately caught the details that Ryan hadn''t paid much attention to.


    "Isn''t that a Chinese movie?" Ryan shook his head pretendingly.


    After speaking, he immediately turned around and walked into the venue, giving the reporters no chance to ask sensitive questions.


    "Hello, Ryan."


    Just entering the brightly lit beach venue, a fairly familiar Chinese actress walked up to him, Ryan gently shook her stretched hand, "Hello, Zhang."


    Except for the white pigeon? Wu. Among the Chinese directors and movie stars present, the one that has really crossed with him is the international chapter.


    Now that I have come here. Communication and entertainment are definitely indispensable. In public, Ryan rarely makes rude actions. When the International Chapter proposes to help him introduce filmmakers from China, Ryan did not refuse.


    Although some people have relatively unfamiliar faces, they have always heard of their names in previous lives, such as director Yang Dechang, Wang Xiaoshuai, Lu Chuan, Du Qifeng, actors Liang Jiahui, Zhang Zhen, Lin Xilei, Gao Yuanyuan and so on.


    Of course, he basically nodded his head. These people basically have no value to him.


    "Mr. Jenkins."


    Baige? Wu looked at Ryan with complicated eyes. His two most brilliant films in Hollywood all originated from cooperation with Jenkins Pictures. Ryan shook his hand, "John, I heard you are back to China?"


    "Yes, I plan to make a war epic."


    After listening to Baige? Wu finished, Ryan nodded, "Good luck."


    The works below the other party basically don''t have the value of introducing North America. Ryan briefly talked with him for a few words, and then turned his eyes back to the international chapter that he had been following.


    As for the big-nosed actor who talked to the International Chapter, seeing Ryan''s expression seemed a bit embarrassing.


    Ryan knew that he had a knot with himself, but he didn''t care about the other party at all. He shook it in Jack Chen''s stretched hand, nodded slightly, and walked to the place where Hollywood people gathered, where he was his. camp.


    Jack Chen has been in Hollywood for so many years. Through his supporting role in Rush Hour, he is about to get the protagonist of Disney''s US$110 million super production "Around the Earth in Eighty Days". This project is about to be established. Not only did Ryan stop and cut his project, Disney also lifted the cooperation agreement with him on "Flying Dragon Rebirth", and even led him to the Hollywood blacklist that cannot be co-operated. It would be strange if he had no idea in his mind.


    However, whatever he thinks is meaningless to Ryan, the status gap between the two is too far.


    Ryan will definitely not let this movie that vomits blood and loses hundreds of millions of dollars in a short period of time in his own company.


    Besides, in his previous life, Jack Chen, in addition to hitting Hollywood¡¯s hot spots, all successful films in North America existed as supporting roles. From the "Rush Hour" series to the later "Kung Fu Dream", he was giving Blacks and whites play supporting roles.


    "Have you any gains?"


    Just as Ryan was sitting on a chair, Harvey Weinstein walked over and sat next to him, "Harvey, which movie did you see?"


    "Not yet." Harvey Weinstein shook his head, "Someone recommended "Promise" to me, but I don''t understand what the movie is about?"


    "Have you seen it, Ryan?" He looked this way.


    Ryan shook his head slowly. I have seen this film in a previous life. Naturally, I will not have any interest in this life. Perhaps this film is really a film for future audiences, as some film critics tout. It is indeed not pleasing to the current audience. To be precise, he will not see a few people in the future who say "Promise" is very beautiful and classic.


    Some people are destined to rely on a movie for a lifetime.


    After staying for about half an hour, Ryan left. His circle is separated from the Chinese film circle by a distance of the Pacific Ocean. He has no plans to interact with those directors and actors. Even if he wants to use some actors from the other side in the future, The choice is not a problem.


    Even if it''s just for soy sauce, many people squeeze their heads and want to appear in the big Hollywood productions.


    In this regard, Ryan also has some preliminary plans. For example, "Transformers" is about to be put on the agenda by Disney. He plans to appropriately add a Chinese supporting role with limited roles. You can find one from Sam¡¯s classmates. Just a few minutes of footage with a few lines.


    North America and the Western world are still the main film markets. Chinese elements can be added, but the principle of moderation must be maintained. It is important to give the opposing media enough hype.


    Maybe the heroine of "Green Red" is a good choice? The image is not bad, and it''s a bit famous across the ocean. Although it''s definitely not as good as the international chapter, the selling point of the movie is not in this aspect.


    When he returned to the hotel, Ryan asked John to write down the incident. After the crew began preparations, he asked them to contact the International Zhang and Gao Yuanyuan separately, and let''s talk about the situation at that time.


    Although the "Chinese Movie Night" caused a stir in the Chinese media, it was only a small episode for the Cannes Film Festival. As the films entering the competition section were released one after another, this year''s Cannes Film Festival also entered the final selection. stage.


    In the most influential media in France, you can see traces of the public relations of the various crews everywhere. The promotion, advertisements and praised comments of the film are endless. The luxurious parties near the coastal avenue are one after another. Even due to the identity, the judges cannot Participate directly, but everyone has a social circle, and indirect influences are everywhere.


    "On the ownership of Palme d''Or."


    At the final cake meeting, Ryan directly expressed his views, "My first choice is Brokeback Mountain."


    "But Ann Lee just took the Palme d''Or a few years ago."


    French female director Agn¨¨s Varda put forward different opinions, "I think we can give "Brokeback Mountain" awards, but Palme d''Or should choose other movies such as "Children"."


    "The problem is that there is a big gap between this film and Brokeback Mountain."


    Hilary Swank, who was sitting on the side, spoke, "I think Brokeback Mountain is the most suitable choice for Palme d¡¯Or."


    "I think so too." Javier Baden from Spain echoed, he is Penelope Cruz''s boyfriend.


    "In all the movies."


    Another judge, American writer Tony Morrison said, "Brokeback Mountain is the best."


    In the end, five of the nine judges chose Brokeback Mountain. Among them was Ryan, the chairman of the jury. Palme d¡¯Or is completely free of suspense. According to the basic principle of dividing the cake, this film will not get another. For other heavyweight awards, Ryan chose to vote with his feet in the following selection. Anyway, the heaviest award has already been won.


    Although he did some small actions in private, Brokeback Mountain is indeed the best one among the films participating in this year''s competition, and it is also the most popular Palme d''Or as predicted by the media. (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 672： National is not necessarily global

    The Cannes Film Festival has two major traditions. One is the passionate and unrestrained French productions, like palm trees on the Mediterranean Sea and bikinis on golden beaches; the other is the maverick with mixed praise and criticism. Some people accused the art of commercial hype to cover up the art Shine, some people summarized as the jumpy aesthetic haunting the jury members with different styles every year.


    If the 77-year-old Oscar is an elderly man, then the fifty-eight-year-old Cannes is definitely a housewife of menopause. It is harder to find out her temperament than to reach the sky.


    Those media that can accurately predict the Oscars have repeatedly failed at the previous Cannes Film Festival. The best director, best screenwriter, actor, and actress are often very rare to be cast, and often deliberate calculations are unavoidable. The four are empty, not to mention the Palme d''Or and the Jury Prize.


    In previous Cannes Film Festivals, there have been countless films that have been unanimously favored but unacceptable.


    However, this year is different. Ryan¡¯s eyes on watching movies have always been in line with the vast majority of audiences. The result is that the attribution of several heavyweight awards appears to be calm, almost completely in line with the outside world¡¯s predictions. the same.


    Ang Lee once again won the Palme d¡¯Or with "Brokeback Mountain", and the jury award fell on the head of "Green Red". Tom Lee Jones, also from Hollywood, not only won the crown of best actor, Also took away the best screenwriter.


    There is no doubt that Hollywood movies have become the biggest winners.


    After the noisy awards ceremony, Ryan took the members of the jury and the winners to the last press conference of the Cannes Film Festival.


    Although almost all French media predicted in advance that "Brokeback Mountain" would win Palme d''Or, when Lee Ang picked up the award again, the French who had always liked to say sour words inevitably complained.


    As always, their problems are full of "Hollywood films are too commercial". The selection results will hinder the development of potential experimental and pioneering films. "Hollywood films are empty and will definitely decline." etc. Sour words.


    Most of these questions were thrown at Ang Lee, and Ang Lee¡¯s answers also proved why he could gain a foothold in Hollywood, instead of where he came from and went back after a brief glorious period like the others. .


    "For a long period of time in the future, the current pattern of movies dominated by Hollywood and other multi-polarized films will not change. Unlike some people say, Hollywood films will get tired of watching them. It will." Lee Ang has spared no effort in maintaining Hollywood movies. "Hollywood''s market share will only grow in the next ten years. It is impossible to completely repel Hollywood movies."


    Journalists in continental Europe disdain such answers, but reporters from China gave Li An a lot of face and asked timely, "Mr. Li, why can your film be easily accepted by the American market and audience?"


    Oscars and the North American film market are the most popular topics among film practitioners and entertainment media on the other side of the Pacific.


    "I have visited the seven major film companies in the United States, and I always ask a question wherever I go, why can American films be able to reach any corner of the world?"


    Although he is a standard banana man, Ang Lee¡¯s answer is very sincere, ¡°I got almost the same answer. They said that they actually didn¡¯t think about the issue of having American characteristics when shooting the film. In other words, they did not recognize the''nationality''. This is the world¡¯s view."


    "And what about us?" He showed a somewhat helpless smile. "Many people have been emphasizing that films should have national characteristics. This is a conceptual difference, but it is a phenomenon worthy of our study. It''s not about us. Not for national characteristics, but not for national characteristics and national characteristics. Movies made in that way are like experimental films, and no matter how much attention they are, they can only be niche movies."


    As the chairman of the jury, Ryan made a final summary in the face of many interviewed media.


    "The average level of the participating films this year is relatively high. Most of the films are both artistic and popular. The major award-winning films "Brokeback Mountain", "Green Red", "Broken Flower" and "The Three Times of Escada" "Funeral" and so on are like this, in the end I had to make a choice."


    Then, he talked about the judges team, "Although the nine judges are mostly from different countries and have different cultural backgrounds, our judging team has always adhered to the principles of art and fairness."


    "I have participated in several Cannes Film Festivals. Looking back now, the Cannes Film Festival is a good window to bring your style and culture to the world."


    Ryan is not stingy with his elegant and graceful side, "This time serving as the chairman of the jury is a very pleasant experience! It will always remain in my memory."


    The 58th Cannes Film Festival came to an end. Regardless of how the media would comment later, Ryan got the most desired result. After attending the official Cannes celebration dinner, he left France.


    Although another Hollywood film won the Palme d¡¯Or, the focus of the North American entertainment media is not on this. Five days before the end of the Cannes Film Festival, that is, when "Smiths" is about to land on the North American theaters on May 17, The shocking gossip almost took away all the attention.


    One of the most famous couples in the United States, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston¡¯s marriage has lit a red light.


    If it is another reason that triggers the emotional crisis, the whole North America will not be uproarious. The problem with the marriage of the two people is precisely the third party intervening, and the third party is also famous-Angelina? Julie!


    The media quoted many people familiar with the matter. Before the final post-production of this film was completed, Jennifer Aniston personally captured Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in bed, and the two parties were having a big fight. After the fight, the American sweetheart moved out of her mansion, and Pete has come to the brink of divorce.


    Brad Pitt did not choose to redeem this marriage. Instead, he had a double relationship with Angelina Jolie, and even participated in the interview at the premiere of "Smiths" without concealing his appreciation of each other.


    Even if the heroine of the film, Jennifer Aniston, was absent from the premiere, it still attracted media coverage. The final publicity effect of this film can be imagined.


    Such a movie with no surprises from structure to plot to fighting has become another box office winner after "X-Men 3: Last Stand" in the summer file.


    Originally Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston¡¯s husband and wife file appeared in the film as a husband and wife, which is attractive enough, plus this shocking gossip, it can be said that Disney¡¯s already hot publicity has been added. Heavy weights.


    As a result, amidst the hustle and bustle, "Smiths" earned 63.42 million US dollars at the box office in North America in the first week. As a traditional action movie, this is a very good result.


    History is always surprisingly similar. Originally, there was no scene in the previous life that happened in the filming. Ryan thought things would go in a different direction, but after a period of delay, everything that should have happened happened again, from the closeness of Pete and Julie. In terms of the relationship, when the two were caught by Aniston, they probably had been together for a long time.


    "Every relationship has whirlpools and waves, sometimes difficult, sometimes quiet, and sometimes full of fun. The hardest moment is often when you want to pursue a perfect state, but that is ridiculous and unrealistic... People Naturally, they signed a divorce agreement. They didn''t know that they had missed the opportunity to accommodate each other, admit their mistakes, and re-prove love. That would be the best."


    "Unfortunately, this is not his view of marriage. Our views are completely different. If the views are not at all consistent, we cannot force a relationship to continue. What I hope is the most loyal relationship deep in the soul, but he has the right to choose another one. This kind of form, so he chose to break up."


    On May 23, the Monday when Ryan returned to North America, "Smiths" had just taken the top spot in the North American box office chart. Jennifer Aniston issued a divorce statement, which completely pushed this shocking gossip to the climax. , This will be the divorce case that Hollywood has the most fame, money, and profit after entering the new century.


    As a beneficiary of this divorce case, "Smiths" took only one weekend and one full week, and the North American box office exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. For Disney, which invested 130 million U.S. dollars in the film, Almost saw the hope of recovering costs through the box office.


    Of course Ryan is still very sober, it is impossible for this film to recover its cost at the box office, and the subsequent full copyright operation is the key to profitability.


    The hottest summer file battle has entered a white-hot stage. A week after the "Smiths" was released, "Fantastic Four" made its grand debut. Although this film is not as strong as its Marvel companions, it was also grabbed in the first week. With a North American box office of $56.06 million, the "Smiths" was removed from the championship.


    Because this series no longer belongs to Twentieth Century Fox, it was sold to Paramount Pictures by Ryan. The four actors are all different from the previous life. The only thing in common is that the films are basically successful. For superhero movies, Actors are not the most critical factor for success.


    Among the films released in May, "Smiths" and "X-Men 3: Last Stand" were the biggest winners, especially the latter. Before the arrival in June, the North American box office reached a cumulative total of 238 million US dollars, but the film The latter''s box office declined very fast, and the final North American box office will certainly be difficult to exceed the 300 million US dollar mark.


    After the beginning of June, several commercial blockbusters with a production cost of more than 100 million will be put into fierce box office competition, and the first to land will be Sophia Coppola who completed all post-production "The Hunger Games" in mid-May. r1152()

 Chapter 373： New Feminism

    Although the production cost of "The Hunger Games" is only 100 million US dollars, this is the beginning of the entire series. The success or failure is directly related to the subsequent plans. Therefore, Ryan paid up to 120 million US dollars for this film. Propaganda and marketing expenses, from the day the novel came out, the whole series of propaganda about it has never stopped.


    Especially in the last half month before the movie¡¯s release, on the three major newspapers, four major television networks, and eight major websites in the United States, you can see the advertisements and trailers of this film anytime and anywhere. The slightly famous public places in the United States are all You can see the movie poster.


    Disney Pictures not only produced posters for the main characters of Ryan, Taylor, Natalie, Scarlett, Christine and James Frank, but also for all the districts including the destroyed 13 districts. Designed posters and concept maps, and launched the "Choose and quickly fall in love with your area" activity on the official website.


    In addition, in the Super Bowl, the most influential sports game in the United States, Disney has also thrown out more than $10 million in publicity expenses to further expand the influence of the film with the help of this most popular sport in the United States.


    Beginning in May, Natalie temporarily put aside the post-production of "127 Hours" and formed a strong publicity team with Taylor, Sofia Coppola and others, and cooperated with Disney¡¯s plan to frequently appear in major media. Although Ryan did not participate in the promotion, the first time he played the villain was still an attractive huge boo, not to mention that this film also concentrated a group of Hollywood''s best young actors.


    On the afternoon of Thursday, June 2nd, U.S. local time, the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Boulevard was crowded with people, as if the Oscars were coming again. Many fans and media reporters gathered again in front of the Kodak Theater just to witness the power of the Disney organization. The huge premiere of The Hunger Games.


    On both sides of the main entrance of the Kodak Theater, two huge posters hang from the top of the theater all the way to the ground. These are the main promotional posters of The Hunger Games.


    One is a mocking bird brooch burning in flames, and it has a unique design. Golden round, small and exquisite, a sharp arrow traverses it.


    The other is the only protagonist of the film, Natalie''s appearance in the film when she participated in the competition. She is dressed in equipment for survival in the wild, she is also carrying a set of bows and arrows behind her back, and her tough face is full of heroism.


    Gently beckoning to both sides, Ryan quickly walked across the red carpet. When passing by the interview area, Natalie and Taylor were surrounded by reporters in two airtight circles.


    The two are the most representative figures among Hollywood actresses born in the 1980s. One is a new generation of popular female singers who rise up and shine like a comet.


    "The Mockingbird brooch followed Katniss into the arena. It almost symbolizes all the bravery and free spirit in The Hunger Games."


    I can still hear the voice of Natalie accepting the interview faintly, "I like this brooch and the spirit it represents! It is an honor to be able to wear it!"


    If Natalie could see it, Ryan really wanted to give her a thumbs up. The Mockingbird brooch would be one of the most important derivatives of the movie. This is not the first time that she has made such hard-working publicity.


    Obviously, under the influence of Ryan for a long time, Natalie also has enough business pioneering spirit.


    As for Taylor on the other side. Not to mention, most of her thoughts are almost replicas of Ryan and Nicole. She started to promote her own movies and spared no effort.


    Subsequently. Ryan accepted an interview with a reporter from Disney Television, which is his own media after all.


    "Mr. Jenkins, the pre-sale of The Hunger Games is so smooth..."


    After asking a few questions about the filming, the reporter focused on the promotion of the film. "Excuse me, is this in your expectation?"


    ""The Hunger Games" had a magical start." Ryan said briefly, ¡®the situation is indeed beyond our expectations. This is the best movie ticket pre-sale result ever seen in Disney¡¯s history. And it''s a non-sequel movie. "


    "The Hunger Games" was pre-sold on May 12 through multiple channels such as the Internet and telephone. At this time, there is still a period of time before its release, but what is unexpected is that in just 24 hours, the film Tickets for the opening day of the painting were all sold out, and in the following time, a lot of tickets for the first three days of the weekend were also sold out.


    According to statistics from the online ticketing website ¡®¡¯, "The Hunger Games" has broken the record of pre-sale tickets for the first day and the first week in the history of North America.


    This can be said to be the result of many aspects. In addition to the attractiveness of the main creative lineup and the novel that has been released for the past two years, the biggest credit should be credited to the rapid development of the online ticketing business.


    With the passage of time, the influence of online ticket sales will increase, but in accordance with North American law, producers and distributors are not allowed to participate in any theater-related business, and Disney cannot extend too much in this regard.


    "Hi, Nat, Scarlett, Alison, and Christine."


    Walking to the four girls who were taking a photo together, Ryan beckoned them, "Really rare, this is the first time we have appeared in the same movie."


    "You are the villain!"


    Facing the countless flashing lights not far ahead, Taylor said in a low voice, "You do not belong to our group."


    "Hey, my dear." Ryan stood among them. "You are so sad to say that."


    "How does it feel to be shot by Nat?" Kristen Stewart was talking about the plot in the movie.


    "Excellent."


    Looking at Natalie''s gleaming brown eyes, Ryan said with a smile, "It''s like hitting Cupid''s arrow."


    After the routine group photo of the crew, Ryan and others walked into the Kodak Theater. Scarlett Johansson complained as he walked, "You know, since last month, I need to run on both sides to finish "The Hunger Games." Announcement, and then went to participate in the promotion of "Escape from the Clone Island." Those idiot reporters always like to ask some silly questions about comparing the two films."


    "Then do you think our "Hunger Games" will be a big hit? Or "Escape from the Clone", which will be released next week, has a better box office?"


    Hearing Kristen Stewart¡¯s words, Scarlett frowned and said in a low voice, ¡°I saw the sample film in the preview, and I don¡¯t know why. I always feel that there is something wrong with the film that Michael cut out.¡±


    "Hi, Stephen."


    Seeing the old Jewish man walking by, Ryan took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and Spielberg quickly shook his hand, "Congratulations, Ryan, Disney will have another movie with a box office of over 100 million in the first week. "


    According to pre-sale statistics, the most conservative estimate of the film¡¯s first week¡¯s box office will be between 110 million and 120 million U.S. dollars.


    For the poor DreamWorks Big Three, it is impossible not to envy them.


    Today''s DreamWorks is on the verge of danger. If there is a problem with the big production this summer, it is likely to cause a series of adverse reactions. The release of "Escape from the Clone Island" next week is very important.


    Unfortunately, most of the investment in Spielberg''s latest masterpiece "World War" came from Paramount, and this film to be released next month will basically not help DreamWorks much.


    After talking a few words, Ryan and others walked into the main hall of the theater and came to the front row of the crew.


    After greeting Sofia Coppola, Catherine Kennedy and others, he sat next to Natalie and waited for the film to kick off.


    Words and images are two completely different carriers. Perhaps the novel version will always connect people with reality, especially North American critics who are increasingly dissatisfied with the "Patriot Act", or perhaps some plots in the movie, the same People will be connected to this aspect, but in general, more work in the film is to create a unique female character.


    In order to attract people, the film must have some fighting and killing scenes. Some of them are **** and sensitive. In this day and age, if Disney has not done enough work, it is also an important member of mpaa. "The Hunger Games" is not It will be the current pg-13 level, but the r level.


    This is a dystopian-like story. No matter the plot or the expressions used in the movie, there is nothing surprising or praiseworthy. From makeup to costumes to young, handsome and beautiful cast, the film aims to attract the audience. .


    But what I have to mention is the concept that is truly reflected in the film, a view of ¡®new feminism¡¯ that has risen in the film since the beginning of this century.


    Since the 1970s, there have been more and more stories about the relationship between women and social life in Hollywood movies. Among them, the heroine finds an excellent job or a reliable and rich man to marry and have children. Ideal subject.


    So in the 90s, there appeared Hollywood female roles represented by Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz with sweetheart and silly eldest sister, and the fairy-tale love comedy movies where this role is located have been promoted. The highest peak of development.


    But after entering the new century North American social conditions have undergone new changes. With the rise of neo-feminism and other factors, this type of characters and movies have become increasingly unpopular. It is also the rapid decline of Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz in Hollywood.


    For a long time, women often have to choose between success and likability. Even in a society that advertises freedom and fairness like North America, the media and the public do not like women who boast about their high accomplishments.


    This situation has changed a lot in the new millennium, especially in Hollywood, the most important propaganda position in the United States, where more and more female characters are produced that do not conform to the tradition.


    Laura in "Tomb Raider", the three angels in "Girls in the Thunderbolt", the bride in "Kill Bill", Selena in "Underworld", etc., this kind of strong ** does not rely on men The number of roles is increasing. Although it has not formed a trend, it has caused the emergence of the "new feminist" viewpoint in Hollywood movies.


    The success of "Wonder Woman" last year led to the rapid development of this view.


    Some people may ask, what is the new feminist viewpoint in the film? (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 674： 2 box office records

    Katniss has a brave heart and a pair of fitness players trained in hunting for a long time, so she not only participated in this cruel game on behalf of her sister, but also escaped from birth with a bow and arrow and a special skill.


    On the way to escape, Katniss had the courage and strategy, not only destroyed the trap designed by the opponent, but also saved Pitta by the way, and finally helped the contestant played by Ryan escape as soon as possible.


    Wisdom and bravery plus some luck, the winning girl not only saved her life, fame and fortune, but more importantly, she became the spokesperson of the world class resistance, exuding a spirit of resistance and freedom.


    Perhaps Katniss does not have the powerful body of Princess Diana, nor the prominent family background of Laura, nor the blood of Selena, but she can be said to be the master of all self-improving female characters after the new millennium, and it is also a film. The best representative of the''new feminism'' in China.


    In "The Hunger Games", Katniss not only struggled all the way to show off his strong spiritual qualities, but also instigated the class emotions of the whole people with the blood of salute at the critical moment.


    ''Old Feminism'' can no longer cover the re-expression and re-evolution of today''s''feminism'' in movies. It can be said that today''s''feminism'' is no longer a struggle for power in a mainstream patriarchal society. Symbols turned into a new evolutionary theory in which women began to recognize themselves, identify themselves, and reconcile themselves.


    As a result, more and more new female characters in film and television works are advancing by leaps and bounds on a more self-aware, stronger, and more fearless level. While tearing off the gentle outer packaging that needs men¡¯s protection and perfection, they faded away for * *The main theme of freedom struggle for independence and love.


    The voice of this generation of feminism is¡ªnot only to save yourself, but also to save the country, others, and the world. Life is not just about finding a reliable job, marrying a prince charming, or turning an ugly duckling into a bride. It is recognized by the mainstream, but more shows a larger-scale, high-standard and deep concept to understand the world, recognize oneself and examine the heart, which is called a new kind of feminism.


    These women on the big screen may still be beautiful, sexy, youthful and beautiful, but they are no longer gentle and submissive to men. They can exude malice and gloom, they can be masculine and tough, they can believe and act as dreams, they are like men. The same can be desperate, playful layout, shed blood and sweat, and even start a war or create a world.


    The role of Katniss caters to this trend.


    When the subtitles fell, Taylor''s theme song "Safe and Safe" sounded. Although she only played a passerby character who didn''t even have a line in the movie, her current momentum of development can also attract many teenagers into the theater.


    The main audience of this film is teenagers and female audiences.


    Such youth films are obviously not pleasing to the critics. After the premiere, critics successively published their opinions on the film in the online column.


    "The Hunger Games presents vulgar scenes and lack of real emotions. Although Natalie Portman''s character is full of power, she can''t hide her fragility in performance. The ending of the film is roundabout, confusing, and not exciting. ¡ª¡ªI can''t speak of being outstanding."


    As a veteran film critic, David Denby will certainly not like such a commercial film that is full of youthfulness. He has shown a poor three-pointer for "The Hunger Games."


    The comments of another well-known veteran film critic were not much better. Roger Albert updated the film review almost immediately after the premiere.


    ""The Hunger Games" has no shortage of wonderful moments, but as far as the whole film is concerned, the mediocrity of the actors and the plot is also obvious. Although Natalie Portman''s role is radiant and has the temperament of a winner, The performances of other actors including Ryan Jenkins, but I don¡¯t know the so-called, everything is serving the heroine, and they want to do something about it, and finally become inexplicable."


    He was a little better than David Denby and gave the film four points.


    Compared with the old film critics, the younger female film critics are full of good feelings about the film. They applauded the film in the newspapers the next day.


    "Just like the performance in the famous "Killer Leon", Natalie Portman made this futuristic and politicized version of "The Most Dangerous Game" full of weight, and the director Sophia Coppola has also successfully put most important parts of the novel on the screen. These are enough to satisfy young audiences in the United States!"


    -"New York Times" Manola Daguis.


    "There is a strong appreciation, and Natalie Portman''s performance as the protagonist is excellent and convincing. This is a powerful, glorious and firm interpretation of the original work. The wonderful novel adaptation of the film makes the same type of Movies are relatively inferior."


    ¡ª¡ª"Washington Post" Ann Hodina


    Disney did not relax due to the release of the film. Massive publicity activities are still going on. In Disney parks around the world, a Hunger Games event with the theme of "return alive" has been launched. Although this event will not die, it is It is also stimulating enough.


    Although it is certainly incomparable with the "Harry Potter" series, Disney has also invested sufficient resources in this series, striving to make it another key profitable project.


    In fact, the words of some Hollywood industry insiders are the best evaluation of this film-it is in line with the tastes of current teenagers and female audiences, and it also has a certain meaning.


    For such a movie, these are enough.


    The performance of "The Hunger Games" on the first weekend can only be described as incredible.


    The film opened in 4187 theaters in North America, and it robbed the box office of $67.26 million in just one day on Friday. This achievement broke through the single-day record of $51.53 million in "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" , "The Hunger Games" became the new North American single-day box office record holder.


    Although due to the excellent pre-sales, the outside world¡¯s box office expectations for this film are high enough, but it turns out that their expectations are too conservative, and even some older film and television industry practitioners do not understand the plot and thought of such a film. Why can a movie that doesn''t have much brilliance in terms of structure, structure, or even actors'' performances, can get such a high box office?


    However, the investigation report sent by Ryan''s investigation company explains this to a certain extent.


    Among the audience who entered the theater to watch "The Hunger Games" on the first day, the proportion of audiences under the age of 30 was as high as 91%, and the proportion of female audiences exceeded 60%!


    In fact, it¡¯s very simple to say. In addition to excellent publicity and marketing work, the film¡¯s positioning is clear and accurately grasps the mainstream tastes of the target audience, and this part of the audience occupies the majority of the position in the film market, enough to guarantee "The Hunger Games" Audience base.


    Of course, it is impossible for the film to maintain such a high box office, and a decline is inevitable.


    On Saturday, the box office fell 25% to a total of 50.39 million U.S. dollars, and on Sunday it fell to 34.87 million U.S. dollars.


    Although the downward trend is unusually obvious, "The Hunger Games" once again set a North American box office record, easily surpassing the 136 million of "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" with a first-week score of $152.53 million. Box office record in the first week of US$10,000 in North America.


    The major entertainment media have used "unbelievable" and "box office miracle" to describe this film. Even if Disney does not need to do more work, they are willing to use large articles on the front page to describe this incredible youth. film.


    And the flexible-minded filmmakers gradually feel that the age of youth films is about to come.


    As for whether this era has really come, just look at the follow-up performance of The Hunger Games.


    Monday was 10.82 million U.S. dollars, Tuesday was 10.34 million U.S. dollars, Wednesday was 8.5 million U.S. dollars... Before Friday, another North American box office rankings began to count the weekend when the weekend was approaching, and "The Hunger Games" had already snatched 189.93 million from North America. US dollars.


    This film is like all major productions released by Disney in recent years. Even if it is not released globally, it will at least be released simultaneously among five friends in the English-speaking area.


    These areas are also where Ryan has the greatest influence. At the same time, the "Hunger Games" novels that bear his name are also local hot books, and the film''s box office is also excellent.


    The UK''s box office in the first week reached 35.33 million U.S. dollars; in Australia, it successfully got an eight-figure figure, 14.53 million U.S. dollars is enough to make Disney laugh; even in New Zealand, due to the lack of strong competitors, the first week''s box office also had 4.62 million U.S. dollars.


    In addition, France, Germany, Italy, Spain in the European mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan in the Far East are also within the scope of simultaneous release.


    Of course The performance of the film in these non-English-speaking areas is much worse, and the box office is far from outstanding. Many local audiences think that they don¡¯t know the so-called, and even many overseas media are talking about why such a film. Can weird movies sell well in North America?


    The film is deeply influenced by the language, culture and social environment of the region. A film that performs well in some regions, if you change a region, you may encounter the same situation as "The Hunger Games". This is still the most popular Hollywood in the world. It is almost impossible for a film produced to become a worldwide best-selling culture if it is changed to a film made in another country.


    A high degree of industrialization and commercialization determines Hollywood''s dominant position.


    By Friday of the second week, before the release of DreamWorks¡¯ "Escape from the Clone Island", "The Hunger Games" had taken away US$258.56 million from the world. Especially the film¡¯s performance in the North American market was almost the year. The perfect box office champion.


    Maybe DreamWorks''s "Escape from the Island", with a total investment of more than 200 million US dollars, will squeeze the box office space of this film?


    This is the thought of some people who are eager for Ryan and Disney to be unlucky. r1152()

 Chapter 675： Explosive shell

    From the day when he appeared in Hollywood, all the movies directly related to Ryan, except for "The Pianist", have all achieved profitability. Some of them can even be said to be huge profits. These have brought him much-needed investment funds. , The most direct effect is reflected in the market.


    In recent years, as films with large investments have encountered Waterloo one after another, Ryan has become the most trusted brand of theaters. They are willing to release the commercial films he participates in and actively maintain a sufficient rate of filming, because these can guarantee Theater revenue.


    Although the profitability of cinemas is now moving toward the surrounding area, the same reason as movies is that if there are not enough audiences, the sales of other products will be out of the question.


    In this way, after joining Ryan, Disney can always win enough theaters for its major production films, even for the highly competitive summer files, with Ryan¡¯s name in the column of author, actor, and producer. "The Hunger Games" also won a super high of more than 4,000 theaters, and the box office brought by the film itself, presumably these guys will not regret signing the release agreement.


    The second week of "The Hunger Games" is still 4187 theaters, and there are so many theaters and screens in North America, which indirectly caused "Escape from the Clone Island" to only be opened with 3122 theaters.


    The heroine of this film is Scarlett Johansson, plus Spielberg¡¯s personal invitation-the old Jewish man has promised to be the director of "Jurassic Park 3"-Ryan attended the "Escape from the Island" At the premiere, although Michael Bay took the initiative to say hello, he didn''t say anything.


    Everything has to wait until after this movie.


    Of course, Ryan has no interest in DreamWorks, and he has taken away a lot of the best movies in his previous life.


    This is not a typical bombshell movie, at least not in the first half.


    The opening of the film can be said to be the most beautiful opening in the Bangbei movie. Beautiful bays, mountains, blue waters and ethereal music...


    It is indeed a director who was born in filming mv.


    However, the biggest problem with this movie is the inconsistency. If the style of the beginning of the film is continued, or if the film is a traditional explosive shell film. It must be better than this kind of film that is clearly divided into two episodes.


    To paraphrase what a director in the previous life said, that is, all successful directors are paranoid, and Michael Bay is the same. His understanding of movies is somewhat similar to Ryan''s, and tends to attract audiences and excitement. Adrenaline secretion is a prerequisite.


    Bangbei''s movies are always stubborn and violent. In the middle of the movie, the beauty and certain thoughts disappeared.


    Michael Bay carefully constructed all the puzzles and suspense in the first half of the movie. Even the deductions about the value of life are replaced by a wave of explosions and car chases that resemble a wave.


    Ever since, Ryan saw an alternative "Brave to Death Island."


    In all fairness, of all the movies made by Bombshell, the car chase scene is definitely the best controlled "Escape from the Clone Island", which even surpasses his most acclaimed "Breathtaking Island".


    The problem is that the style transition before and after the film is too abrupt, completely tearing up the illusion constructed by the film. In other words, the film is like the hands of two directors with completely different styles. It is completely impossible to blend together, which is one of the reasons why Scarlett Johansson is very awkward and always feels something is wrong.


    Failed films often end if they don¡¯t attract the audience¡¯s liking. The problem with this film is not limited to this one. In the end, the transformation of the black supporting role is nothing short of a turning point!


    According to Ryan''s speculation, if nothing happens, this film will definitely follow the old path of the previous life.


    If "Escape from the Island of Clone" fails, Michael Bay has two ways to go. One is to continue to work **** the connotation of the film and make a complete transformation; the other is to return to the original style and maximize the explosion and visual effects.


    Of course, Ryan will push him on the second path, and there are countless directors engaged in literature and art in the world. The director who can shoot such a hot and exciting commercial film is just a few of them.


    Although the success of the previous "Transformers" series. There are certain reasons for the brand effect, but the role of explosive shells cannot be ignored. Counting all the first-line directors in Hollywood, how many can do like him?


    So far, Ryan still clearly remembers that in his previous life, when filming "Transformers 2", the producer gave 200 million US dollars, but the explosion shell cost less than 195 million US dollars, and the rest was returned.


    For Hollywood-style filmmaking and first-line commercial directors, this is simply incredible, especially since the final effect of the film is still outstanding and commercial success.


    By the time of "Transformers 3", Bangbei kept the cost within 200 million U.S. dollars, and even finished the production of the film ahead of schedule with only 190 million U.S. dollars.


    Perhaps in terms of achievement and status, he is far from James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, but his ability to control costs is obvious to all, and he never overspends or overtimes filming.


    In previous lives, it is not unreasonable that Hollywood producers liked Michael Bay so much.


    Besides, "Transformers" pays attention to what connotation is, the most important thing is to be exciting and to please the audience.


    However, this "Escape from the Clone Island" is obviously not among the audience''s favorite ranks.


    After the premiere, Ryan also paid a little attention to the movie¡¯s reputation and box office. Like the big events in the past, no accidents happened.


    "An overly chaotic work, until the end of the movie, it will be discovered that it has been hypnotized to sleepy by the plot." This is what an ordinary audience said in an interview, "These 127 minutes are purely intermittent chaos. a feeling of."


    Another fan¡¯s blog wrote, ¡°If you unfortunately walked into the theater of "Escape from the Clone Island", I only have one sentence to tell you¡ªthis money is wasted!"


    These are very representative remarks among ordinary movie fans.


    But what makes Ryan feel unbelievable is that the most famous film critic Roger Albert gave "Escape from the Island" a high score of eight, and rated it as an excellent, creepy science fiction movie.


    It can only be said that as he grows older, the film critic''s aesthetics and tastes become more and more strange; as his influence declines sharply, he is farther and farther away from the public and the market.


    In fact, for a commercial masterpiece with a total investment of more than 200 million U.S. dollars, the taste, style, and evaluation of film critics have no meaning. The most direct and critical criterion is the box office.


    "Escape from the Clone Island" was also officially opened on Friday. There are 3122 theaters. The box office in one day is not even the fraction of the box office on the first day of "The Hunger Games" last week. It was only 4.2 million US dollars, and the latter was released even for a week. However, the box office on that day was more than four times that of it-a single day''s box office rose to 18.99 million US dollars!


    In the following two days, the box office of "Escape from the Clone Island" showed no signs of improvement. After three days of the weekend, it only received $12.4 million.


    The box office of "The Hunger Games" in these three days was as high as US$58.55 million, and the North American box office accumulated infinitely close to US$250 million. Among all the films released this year, the North American box office only lags behind "X-Men 3: Last Stand", although The latter''s North American box office is as high as $275.55 million, but the growth rate can almost be described as a snail.


    It seems that Disney is about to take away this year''s North American box office champion.


    This is the view of many people in Hollywood. After Walt Disney fell into the hands of Ryan, it became a behemoth. In terms of market value alone, among all media groups in the world, it is second only to Time Warner, which swallowed AOL, but The profitability of the latter is a question.


    In the whole week that followed, "The Hunger Games" grabbed another US$46.23 million, and the North American box office officially exceeded US$300 million, while the box office of "Escape the Clone" was only US$9.7 million this week, let alone the "Hunger Games." By comparison, even the "Smiths" that was released four weeks ago had a score of 17.43 million US dollars, leaving it far behind.


    Even the most optimistic assessment agency, even if all the possible benefits in the later period are included, DreamWorks cannot recover such a huge expenditure. One and a half of their feet have stepped out of the cliff.


    Although Spielberg¡¯s "War of the World" will be released in July, there is a lack of liquidity and huge debts. There are rumors in Hollywood that the Big Three are going to sell DreamWorks, Disney, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox has been listed as a potential acquisition target.


    Compared with DreamWorks, Ryan is more interested in the frustrated Michael Bay, but Bombshell also led the crew to work hard in North America. Ryan asked Scarlett to convey what he wanted to talk to him~www .novelhall.com~ also made a phone call in person, and turned his eyes back to his own movie.


    As the first North American film to exceed $300 million at the box office this year, "The Hunger Games" still has great potential to be tapped. For example, the illustrated version of the novel released after the film was released sold more than 1.5 million copies in three weeks.


    The mockingbird brooch has become the most popular accessory in North America this summer. Disney has launched a luxury brooch with Tiffany, and it has also released a variety of ordinary versions with more civilian prices. It is also three weeks time. This version of the Mockingbird brooch sold more than 4.7 million pieces in the English-language Five Friends Zone, bringing a net profit of US$12 million for Disney.


    This film has a huge influence among young people. Various products printed with movie motifs have recently become best-selling products. Even some senior Disney executives are considering whether to add the "Hunger Games" area in Disneyland.


    Of course, this is just an idea. Unless Ryan and Disney''s management are crazy, they will invest heavily in creating other movie zones before the end of "Harry Potter".


    However, the Hunger Games reality show held in Disneyland is very popular, and its TV stations are already organizing personnel to demonstrate the feasibility of becoming a reality TV show. (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 676： Vampire fiction

    For commercial groups like Walt Disney, the pursuit of profit is the eternal driving force. Under the premise that "The Hunger Games" is a big-selling film series, even without Ryan''s intervention, the management quickly came up with the best interests. Various feasible options.


    Disney, together with Susan Collins and Ryan¡¯s spokespersons, held a press conference at the Disney headquarters to announce the launch of the novel version of "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire", and the film version is also officially released on the premise of retaining the original crew. Start preparations.


    In addition, Jenkins Pictures will also make a spoof "Starvation Game" series based on this series.


    In addition to the traditional box office and peripheral revenue, Ryan and Disney are bound to squeeze every drop of oil in this series.


    At this time, Disney Pictures has no longer staying power. The last 20 million US dollars of the 120 million US dollars in promotional expenses have been successively invested in the market. While the peripheral products are selling well, the box office, especially the North American box office, still has potential. Can be dug.


    In the fourth full week of the film, it received 36.52 million U.S. dollars in North America, and the North American box office totaled 350 million U.S. dollars!


    This has been achieved in less than a month. In recent years, only "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" and "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith" have appeared in such crazy North American box office accumulations. But the latter two are the end of a series!


    The success of "The Hunger Games" in North America cannot conceal the overall weakness of the overseas market. Two weeks after the film landed on North American theaters, it has appeared in major overseas markets. Up to now, the overseas box office has only reached 150 million U.S. dollars. Compared to those North American and overseas movies that are advancing at the same time, it is indeed a bit worse.


    This is a very helpless and realistic thing. In North America where thought and speech are more free, perhaps this kind of film containing the idea of ??¡®new feminism¡¯ is easily accepted by the audience, but in most overseas regions. This kind of film with women as the protagonist, wants to break through the film market where male characters occupy an absolute dominant position, it needs time accumulation and conceptual breakthrough.


    As the most direct competitor of "The Hunger Games", the box office of "Escape the Clone" was only $5.2 million in the third week in North America. According to the current development momentum and the rate of decline, the North American box office of this movie can exceed 30 million at most. US dollars.


    Michael Bay¡¯s transformational work was a complete failure.


    Compared with Bombshell, Natalie is the hottest actress this summer.


    Since Padm¨¦ Amidala of the "Star Wars Series", she has not had a new movie image, and news has been circulating in and out of the circle that she will completely transform and invest in the ranks of directors. Until Katniss appeared on the big screen, it triggered a nationwide movie watching boom.


    This strong female character is so similar to Natalie''s public image, the two almost achieve a perfect fit.


    "Natalie Portman, who plays the heroine, is like Katniss coming out of a novel. Her performance is very attractive from beginning to end!"


    This is the evaluation of Natalie in many mainstream media. Although there are factors such as identity and ethnicity, it can always explain some problems.


    The huge sales of "The Hunger Games" completely pushed her into the ranks of Hollywood''s first-line movie stars. This film not only won Natalie her highest salary of 10 million US dollars. Moreover, after the film exceeded US$300 million at the North American box office, it also won her a $15 million annual Chanel No. 5 endorsement contract.


    However, after entering July, "The Hunger Games" finally ended its crazy box office growth. The box office in a single week has fallen to more than 10 million US dollars, and it has entered the stage of accumulating box office relying on the long release time.


    Ryan also met Michael Bay in his office.


    One of Hollywood''s best commercial film directors, sitting opposite him, his iconic long face remained calm. However, it can be vaguely seen that without the confidence of the past, the box office of "Escape the Island" is too miserable, and Hollywood has encountered such box office tragedies in the past. As a result, there are many directors who have been devastated.


    "I heard something about you in general."


    After the secretary delivered the coffee, Ryan slowly said, "Michael, your schedule should be free. Are you interested in cooperating with Disney Pictures?"


    Michael Bay was stunned. He didn''t know the specific reason why Ryan came to him. "Cooperation?"


    Ryan nodded and made a please gesture to the coffee cup.


    Picking up the coffee cup and taking a sip, Michael Bay understood that with Ryan¡¯s status, he would definitely not make jokes about this kind of thing. He couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Frankly speaking, Ryan, I really want to rest for a while, I really want to understand. some problems."


    "Why, the failure of a movie makes you less confident?"


    Hearing Ryan''s words, Michael Bay barely pulled out a smile, "I need to figure out the crux of the matter."


    "Actually, your problem is not complicated." Ryan believes that it won''t take long for Michael Bay to figure it out by himself, but he doesn''t want to wait too long. "It''s actually very simple to solve it. Return to the style you are best at. "


    "The best style?" Michael Bay showed a thoughtful expression.


    "At a sufficient cost, create a dazzling image effect." Ryan took the first draft script of "Transformers" from one side and pushed it to Michael Bay. "With a fast editing method, coupled with dynamic music, rendering Big action, big explosion, big scene, in the brilliant light and shadow, create the ultimate battle!"


    This is the style of Michael Bay¡¯s previous movies, and it is also the basis for his foothold and success in Hollywood.


    "Ryan, do you mean I return to my original style?" Michael Bay picked up the script.


    "Why not?" Ryan tapped the table lightly and looked at the script in Bangbei''s hands. "I plan to invest 150 million US dollars to make the live-action film version of "Transformers". I need enough big moves, Big explosions, big scenes, I need the most dazzling visual effects."


    "Michael, I think no one in Hollywood is more suitable for this series than you!" Ryan emphasized again.


    "Escape from the Clone Island" seriously dampens Michael Bay''s self-confidence. The reason why he said so much is that he doesn''t want to see a director with a sense of failure, which will damage the enthusiasm of the entire crew.


    Of course, he is not an agitator, and there is no magic in him. These words can only make Michael Bay believe that he trusts him very much. The key factor for Boom Bay to get out of the trough is still himself, and it will take some time.


    In the end, Michael Bay was very sincere and said that he needed to think about it seriously, but after earning Ryan''s consent, he took away the first draft script.


    The other party has worked hard in Hollywood for so many years. In fact, it is very clear that if he can''t turn over as soon as possible, he will gradually be forgotten in the power and reality of Hollywood. This is not the result he wants.


    Although countless people are saying that Michael Bay¡¯s films are getting worse and worse, it cannot be denied that he is still a very aspiring director.


    Thorough commercialization is the way he should go.


    Sending away Michael Bay, Ryan pressed the intercom and called George in.


    The former bodyguard, after several years of study and exercise, became a fairly qualified assistant to the chairman. Through his team, he handles a lot of daily affairs every day, helping Ryan watch every move of the entire Walt Disney Group. .


    Because of Michael Eisner¡¯s previous signing with Roy Disney, although the power is delegated to the group president Cook Dick and CEO Robert Iger, Ryan has never relaxed the supervision of Disney,* *The supervisory committee of the board of directors, audits by external accounting firms, etc., have been performing their supervisory duties.


    "Sit, George."


    Ryan pointed his finger at the opposite chair, which was completely his own.


    He took a novel, pushed it in front of George, and said, "Find someone to contact the author of this novel, get the film rights as soon as possible, and let people from Touchstone Pictures or other subsidiaries do it."


    "I understand." George nodded, picked up the novel, and left the office.


    It is a novel that has just been launched, and it is a housewife''s fantasy work. The name is "Twilight: Twilight". It has no reputation and has not entered the bestseller list in the United States. It is just an adaptation. The best opportunity for power.


    With the huge sales of novels and movies of "The Hunger Games", this youth type theme will gradually become a category that cannot be ignored in Hollywood movies. It will not be long before similar movies will flood the big screens in North America. Following the trend is not only the patent of the film across the ocean, UU Read Hollywood is no exception.


    The few excellent big productions in Hollywood are based on huge bad movies.


    It was also during this period that Walt Disney¡¯s big hand reaching out to the Internet also reaped gains. After half a year of negotiations, Disney acquired the company of Evan Williams, a pioneer in blogging technology. After the initial integration, the main goal will be to miniaturize the blog and enter the mobile platform, and the company name has also been changed to the name of the project-Twitter!


    On the other hand, in the ¡°new financing plan¡±, Disney easily repelled Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Asia from Hong Kong, and got 25% of the shares. If Ryan¡¯s hands are included, it was diluted to 30%. Five shares have obtained absolute controlling rights.


    Of course, as in his previous life, Mark Zuckerberg still holds close to 30% of the shares, even for his own benefit, he will continue to struggle in this company.


    In addition, Disney has taken over Ryan''s official website, which is now the most trafficked and click-through personal website in the United States. If Ryan hadn''t not allowed it, a large number of advertisers would have come to the site. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 677： Heroine of Transformers

    Because of the different industrial focus, even if it owns a+e TV network, Disney TV and other newspapers and magazines, Walt Disney is still weaker than Time Warner and News Corporation in traditional media, and it is almost divided up in traditional media. Now that it is over, it is difficult for Disney to catch up in a short time.


    What is the most powerful media in the future? This kind of problem is very obvious to Ryan.


    In addition to securing its position in traditional media, Disney has been expanding its network in recent years. Not only does it have close partnerships with Google, Yahoo, and Apple, but its subsidiary yutube is the largest online video site in the United States. And in the financial statements for the first quarter released by Disney this year, this video site finally reached a balance of payments for the first time.


    Twitter and Facebook can be said to be an important step for Disney to improve its network system.


    Of course, while Disney is expanding, it is not without threats. There are also other companies that target Disney''s subsidiaries or even the entire group.


    In the first half of this year, Google, which has already occupied the dominant position in online search, tried to buy the yutube website from Disney. At that time, Ryan stated that he could agree to their acquisition, but put forward a condition that Google shares must be exchanged for the purchase.


    Everyone knows that Ryan is not short of money, and Google finally gave up this plan.


    In the past few years, Ryan has been holding 20% ??of Google¡¯s shares tightly. The two founders of Google and those shareholders on Wall Street are not fools. If his shares continue to increase, he will rely on Disney as a monster. Google''s ability to accumulate money, if not sure, will become a holding subsidiary of Walt Disney.


    In fact, Ryan really wants to do this, but understands that if this is the case, his good relationship with the Wall Street Jewish group is bound to break, and the acquisition may not be successful. The final result is more than 80% is not worth the gain.


    He is now the largest individual shareholder of Google, and he has enough voice on the board of directors. There is no need to get to the end and fight the horrible things like Wall Street alone. Just think about it.


    Besides, within a few years, that group of vampires will need the strong support of the media group, so that they can fight for sufficient benefits for themselves.


    In addition to Google, another threat comes from Conscat.


    In May, Comcast Group announced that it would spend 86 billion U.S. dollars to buy The Walt Disney Company. At that time, the nation was shocked, and many people almost burst into laughter, because Conscart''s own market value was not $86 billion. What did they use to raise funds?


    Also, the federal government will never allow the merger of the two top five media groups in the United States.


    Facts have also proved that Conscart does have another purpose. They shouted that the acquisition of Disney is just a smoke bomb. The actual goal is Disney''s extremely profitable espn TV station and its sports business.


    However, this world of Disney is not the former Disney who suffered internal and external troubles before Michael Eisner stepped down. Conscart only tried to contact Disney''s management. He took the initiative to retreat.


    These big groups, just like Coca-Cola and Pepsi, maintain a certain tacit agreement in the competition, which is not a last resort. Will not start a life-and-death battle, not to mention that Disney and Viacom, Time Warner and News Corporation have many common interests and business contacts. If it is countered, it is likely that the fate will be divided by Conscutt.


    To know. The wired and network service business in the hands of Conscart is far more attractive to traditional media groups than the business centered on the film and television industry in Disney''s hands.


    This is a country that advocates free competition. Commercial competition can never be avoided.


    With the advent of the ** Day holiday, around the weekends around the time, it has become the schedule for many films to compete for. Among them, the most eye-catching is the successive releases of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Gathering Coffin" and "World War". Up.


    After waiting for more than a year, the fans of "Pirates of the Caribbean" finally ushered in another sail from Captain Jack Sparrow. After "The Hunger Games" dominated the box office in June, Disney''s film produced another big kill. Quartet.


    The premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Gathering Soul Coffin" was still placed in Los Angeles, California. The film opened in North America with 4,133 theaters, and it won the North American box office of US$135.63 million on the first three days. Boarded the throne of the box office leaderboard.


    Just like the handover of a relay race, when the North American box office of "The Hunger Games" was approaching US$400 million and gradually stagnated, Disney launched a big production at the right time, which was rampant in the summer file.


    This film is indeed full of power. Not only has it topped the North American box office chart for two consecutive weeks, it also took 286.68 million US dollars from North America in just 14 days. It is definitely a veritable gold sucker.


    It wasn''t until Spielberg''s "War of the World" was released every other week that there was a real rival on the film market that could compete with "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering of Souls."


    The old Jewish man teamed up with Leonardo DiCaprio¡¯s remake of the science fiction film. In the first week, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Soul Coffin" was driven out of the box office champion with a total of 77.06 million dollars from 3908 theaters ; The latter¡¯s performance in the three days this weekend is still strong, with a box office of 35.21 million US dollars, sending the film¡¯s North American box office to the 300 million US dollar mark, reaching 321.89 million US dollars.


    A movie that can compete with "The Hunger Games" for the annual box office championship has appeared, but this is still a Disney movie.


    "If you talk about the profitability of movies alone." Spielger looked at the faintly golden beach and said to Ryan, "There is no company in the world that can compare to Disney."


    With a graceful shrug, Ryan stood on the green lawn, assumed a standard batting posture, swung the club in his hand hard, and the white golf ball flew high, drawing a wonderful parabola. Fell by the pond.


    "Damn it, it''s too bad." Ryan complained, and the shot was pretty bad.


    "Steven, Ryan."


    Nicole drove the battery car and parked near them, "Do you need me to take you there?"


    "Honored."


    Spielberg smiled and got into the battery car. Ryan packed up his clubs and sat beside the old Jewish man.


    "Stephen." Ryan mentioned the topic discussed earlier, "Do you really plan to sell DreamWorks?"


    After a long sigh, Spielberg lifted his eyes and nodded heavily, "It''s true."


    "Interested, Ryan?" he asked rhetorically.


    "There are enough film companies under Disney."


    According to the current debt-ridden situation of DreamWorks, the final sale price will definitely not exceed 2 billion US dollars. Although this money is not a big deal to Ryan, there are many classic films missing in the current DreamWorks film library. , The future Transformers series is in his hands again, it is really difficult to attract him.


    However, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox are still very interested in DreamWorks.


    The battery car quickly stopped by the pond, Ryan jumped out of the car, took another three strokes, and finally completed the hole four strokes above par.


    "Continue?" asked Nicole, who temporarily acted as the driver.


    "Let''s go back to the rest area." Spielberg shook his head. "When you are old, you will feel tired after exercising for a while."


    Ryan took the position of Nicole''s driver and drove the battery car back to the rest area by the sea. The three randomly found a small table and sat under the large sun umbrella, enjoying the cool sea breeze slowly blowing in. The best coffee provided by the club.


    The three people chatted for a few words, and the topic gradually turned to "Jurassic Park 3", which is about to officially begin preparations.


    "The location is still Lanai."


    The location for the second filming is now Ryan¡¯s private property. It must be the most suitable shooting location. "Kate still acts as your assistant. Disney contacted Stan Winston. He has finished "Iron Man". The model production of "will then be transferred to the crew, and we will still hand over the special effects to Industrial Light & Magic."


    "Can I recommend an actor?" The script had already been handed over to Spielberg.


    "Steven, if you want, even if you enable it." Listening to Spielberg''s meaning, it should not be the male and female protagonist.


    "One of my godsons." Seeing Ryan a little bit confused, Spielberg added, "Actually, he has been playing some small roles over the years. I guarantee that his acting skills and imagery meet the requirements of Dr. G¨¹len''s students..."


    "No problem." Ryan understood. He was probably talking about Shia LaBeouf. "I''ll let someone negotiate a contract with him."


    As we all know, Spielberg has three star goddesses in Hollywood, Drew Barrymore, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Catherine Zeta Jones. In addition, there is another godson, Shia LaBeouf. .


    In general, the old man is still quite good to goddess In the past life, if Spielberg was not the producer, can Shia LaBeouf get the actor in "Transformers"?


    However, this is not necessarily the case in this world. Ryan intends to hold a wide range of auditions for the heroes and heroines. This is part of the entire publicity plan. He once asked Scarlett Johansson, but the little fat girl was obviously interested in this pure vase. Characters who are completely embellished and have no technical content are not interested.


    As for whether the final heroine will fall on the head of Miss Fox, it depends on whether she will come to the audition.


    Anyway, for this kind of role, it is enough to find a **** and beautiful vase with basic acting skills.


    Maybe you can find an angel from Victoria''s Secret to play the heroine?


    On the way back to Beverly Hills from the club, Ryan is still considering this issue, which is a typical win-win situation.


    After I go back, let the people of Disney Pictures and Victoria''s Secret management contact me. There must be many angels who are willing to appear in such a large-scale commercial film. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 678： Another goddaughter

    The rising sun hangs in the east. Through the sparse palm trees, the ground is covered with golden yellow. In front of the repaved lawn and slate villa, a customized version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom has been launched, slightly The sound of the motor is like welcoming the host.


    The sound of crisp high-heeled shoes falling on the stone slab sounded. Nicole Ming, who was wearing a professional skirt, obviously had just been moisturized. She strode out of the villa and waited for the bodyguard to open the rear door and got into the car first. .


    Afterwards, Ryan also walked out of the villa holding his document bag and briefcase. After he got in the same car, the three-car convoy drove out of Nicole''s manor in Beverly Hills.


    "What did John send in the morning?" Nicole looked curiously at the file bag that Ryan was holding, "What''s the urgent matter."


    "It''s not very important." Ryan opened the file bag casually, "Some information about "Transformers"."


    "Didn''t we sign with Michael Bay?"


    Speaking of this, Nicole still has some questions, "Are you sure he won''t turn this series into "Escape from the Clone Island" as nondescript work?"


    "Of course!" Ryan nodded, "After this serious failure, Michael will understand what he is good at and what the audience likes."


    Just two days ago, after more than a week of consideration and reflection, Michael Bay and Disney reached a preliminary agreement on the filming of the "Transformers" series. The golden combination of him and Jerry Bruckheimer will start as soon as possible. Preparatory work.


    After taking out the not-too-thick pile of materials in the document bag, Ryan looked through it roughly, not to mention the text introduction, just a dozen photos were attractive enough.


    "what is this?"


    Looking at the hot swimsuit photos in Ryan''s hands, Nicole frowned slightly, "When did you get interested in underwear models?"


    She is very familiar with the fashion industry. After just a few glances, I found that the photos are the makeup photos of some of the most popular angels in Victoria''s Secret.


    "This is the candidate sent by Victoria''s Secret." Ryan handed Nicole the photos and information. Nicole flipped through it and asked in confusion, "Does CT still want to enter the underwear industry? Her Ambition and footsteps are too big."


    "Hey, my dear, don''t get me wrong." Ryan leaned over, pulled out a few brief introductions from Nicole, and pointed to her, "I had someone contact the management of Victoria''s Secret some time ago. With them Reached a consensus on cooperation and will choose a heroine from their angels."


    "So..." Nicole''s brows gradually loosened.


    "They are regarded as one of the film sponsors." Ryan continued, "will pay for part of the film."


    This is only part of the implanted advertisement. After the official announcement of this project, countless car manufacturers have found Disney and asked to become a member of the Autobots. Various negotiations are still in progress, but the film¡¯s direct planner and The producer is Ryan, even the most conservative estimate. The placement of advertising alone will also recover $60 million.


    "Which one do you prefer?" Nicole flipped through the pictures of the angels. "Adriana? Lima? Miranda? Kerr? Giselle? Bonson? Alessandra? Ambrosio. ?"


    "The heroine in the script is a high school student, and the actor must not be too old." Ryan took the information returned by Nicole and returned it to the file bag. "Disney wants Zac Efron to play the leading role. He is a youth idol that Disney is currently working hard to create. The candidate for the heroine should also be paired with him."


    "Well... this kind of thing should be handed over to Michael Bay." Ryan shook his head, "It''s just a supporting role for a few robots."


    The heroes and heroines in this kind of movie. It''s just a foil, there is only one real protagonist, and that is Optimus Prime!


    Disney''s preparations have long been ahead. Not only did it reach a movie-related toy sharing agreement with Hasbro, it also brought in Peter Cullen to voice Optimus Prime, who was also the voice of Optimus Prime in the American animation.


    In short, Ryan and Disney are preparing to gather all the factors that are beneficial and nostalgic for the film, and evoke the memory of Transformers in the hearts of a generation.


    Of course, in the hearts of die-hard fans, the live-action movie version will definitely become a model of ruining childhood.


    In fact, movie versions of various childhood works have been released in recent years and in the next few years, all of which are destroying childhood memories, but it is not unreasonable for the film to be filmed in this way. Not only is the era changing, but the audience is changing, just like that year. Fans¡¯ psychology is also changing, and movies must be changed in accordance with it, otherwise they are destined to be eliminated by the times.


    No matter how good a movie is, it is deeply influenced by time, region, culture and social environment. Not all good works will be praised all over the world. Even Hollywood commercials that seem to have swept the world are difficult. Make it happen.


    The most typical example is "The Hunger Games." Less than two months after the movie was released in North America, it won a box office of 425.61 million U.S. dollars, and Rotten Tomatoes had a high praise rate of 85 percent. Imdb, which has always discriminated against commercial films, also has a score of 7.6, but what about overseas?


    This film has been released in all major overseas markets including mainland China. Up to now, the overseas box office has not reached 200 million U.S. dollars. Except for the English-language friends, most overseas markets regard it as a movie. The so-called bad movies, according to the predictions of several professional organizations on Wall Street, the final overseas box office is about 270 million US dollars. For a commercial masterpiece, such an overseas box office can only be said to be average.


    You know, since the end of the last century, the overseas box office of Hollywood''s commercial masterpieces has completely crushed the North American box office. For most of the big-selling movies, the overseas box office can even be close to twice the North American box office, and like "The Hunger Games", Commercial blockbusters with super-sales in North America but mediocre overseas responses are really rare.


    It can be said that different cultural backgrounds, social openness and the development of the feminist movement have determined the huge differences between this film in North America and overseas.


    The black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove all the way into Malibu, and finally stopped in front of a beach house. This is one of Ryan¡¯s few properties. He and Nicole¡¯s disposition to buy land is completely different. There are only a few properties in his possession, even Lanai Island in Hawaii, which was originally purchased for Nicole, but was later put under his name by Nicole.


    Maybe Nicole likes to buy land everywhere, is it inherited the Kidman family tradition?


    In addition, Ryan reminded Nicole that she was also gradually transferring most of the real estate in her hands, and then through the foundation under the names of the two, Scott invested in the IT industry, which is developing faster and faster in the future.


    This villa, together with the beach and gardens, covers an area of ??12 acres. It may not be the most luxurious villa in Malibu, but it is definitely one of the most luxurious villas, and this is the mansion of Tony Stark in the movie. .


    That''s right, "Iron Man" borrowed Ryan''s mansion to shoot the location. This film only left some life-like scenes, and most of the other shots were shot in the studio.


    Walking into the villa, you can see busy crew members everywhere. In the spacious first-floor lobby, Gwyneth Paltrow who plays Pepper Cutt and Robert Downey Jr. who plays Tony Stark. Walking around around the camera, occasionally showing some expressions of intimacy or dispute.


    Of course, as an amazing superhero movie full of black technology, a green screen must be indispensable when shooting.


    "I heard that Robert Downey Jr. has successfully detoxified?"


    After the crew called to stop, Nicole held Ryan and asked in a low voice, "His mental state looks much better than when he was filming "Argo"."


    "Who knows."


    Ryan doesn¡¯t care about whether the other party has rehabilitated or not, as long as he doesn¡¯t affect the filming of the film. What''s more, the contract signed with him is the same as when Ryan was filming "Argo", which is extremely strict in this respect. limits.


    Besides, how many celebrities in Hollywood secretly take drugs or become addicted to drugs? I am afraid it is a very terrifying number.


    Even he and Nicole, occasionally try dama, of course, not for addiction or relaxation, but as a remedy for love.


    After they reconcile, there are always two or three times a year. Everyone in Nicole¡¯s family will be given vacations. Then the two of them will take a few mouthfuls and use the entire villa as a battlefield. No more energy so far.


    Nothing different from other people, love always wears away with time. To maintain this relationship, in addition to the inseparable entanglements with each other, you must also maintain sufficient freshness. Ryan and Nicole both understand this. , Sometimes I am looking for some other kind of stimulation.


    "Hi, Ryan, Nicole."


    "Hi, Gwyneth."


    Gwyneth Paltrow, who was holding her daughter, walked over The two were old friends. Ryan and Nicole were also welcome, and walked over and teased the baby who was blinking curiously.


    "Apple, remember me?" Nicole took the girl in Gwyneth Paltrow''s hands.


    The little girl didn''t even admit her birth, her little hand grabbed Nicole''s skirt and her mouth curled up.


    "Your scene is over?" Ryan looked at Nicole, and turned her eyes to Gwyneth, who had already removed her makeup.


    "Today''s scene is over." Gwyneth pointed to the crew resting in the distance, "The rest is Robert''s one-man show."


    Just now, Ryan also had a few words with Jon Feiru. The filming will end at the end of this month and move on to more cumbersome post-production. If there is no accident, the first part of "Iron Man" It''s completely in time for next year''s summer vacation.


    "Ryan, can you make a request?"


    I have been friends on both sides for more than ten years, and Gwyneth Paltrow is not polite, "Can you **** Pool''s godfather?" (to be continued...) ()

 Chapter 679： Another big production

    "And Nicole."


    Shooting in the living room was about to start again. When Ryan and the others walked out of the villa, Gwyneth asked Nicole again, "Can I be * Poole''s godmother?"


    "Do we have a choice?" Ryan deliberately spread his hands to her, "It looks like I need another goddaughter."


    This kind of thing is very common in North America, and it''s not uncommon in Hollywood. After all, the relationship between the two parties is here. Ryan and Nicole don''t mean to refuse. Besides, Nicole has always liked children very much.


    Miss Aipur, who is just over a year old, of course has no right to choose, but she will not regret it when she grows up.


    Just like Gwyneth to the dead old Paltrow, Drew Barrymore to the entire Barrymore family, many people from a family of performing arts, most of them will embark on the same or similar path as their parents, whether it is Networking is still an opportunity, and they all have an innate advantage.


    Drew Barrymore¡¯s famous works came from her godfather, and Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in Spielberg¡¯s movies earlier. Although they seem to have a weaker relationship now, they really When it comes to critical moments such as choosing important roles or voting for Oscars, they must be naturally the same camp.


    All these are the inherent advantages of actors from a family. If such people have strong godfathers like Ryan''s godfather and Nicole, although they may not develop very smoothly in the future, few people dare to use the rules. Treat her by other means.


    Of course, as long as the conditions are not too bad, it will not be difficult to become famous in the future.


    Ryan and Nicole¡¯s other goddaughter, Lily Mo Xin, has been guest appearances in some Disney dramas or movies that require children''s roles since two years ago.


    At noon, Ryan and Nicole had lunch with Gwyneth Paltrow. At the table, I heard her talk about a lot of things in work and life. The two of them were her except Drew Barrymore. One of the most acquainted friends, many of the topics are from the distress in life.


    Love has a shelf life. After the initial passionate love, quite a few problems will emerge.


    Gwyneth¡¯s marriage to Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, is envious of many people. In fact, there are quite a few problems at all. Martin''s career is basically in the UK and he has lived in London for a long time, while Gwyneth''s career is mostly In Hollywood, the place of settlement is New York, and the long distance can be regarded as a test and torture for the relationship between the two parties.


    And Gwyneth Paltrow didn''t talk about it, but Ryan and Nicole were very clear.


    Perhaps because of the excellent and smooth development of her childhood, Gwyneth has had a serious princess disease since she was a girl. It is fine to get along with friends. If the partner is a boyfriend or husband, it is easy to create conflicts.


    Therefore, quite a lot of multimedia have looked down upon her marriage.


    After lunch, Ryan and Nicole left Malibu, and on the way to Burbank, Nicole suddenly said, "I am a little worried about Alison."


    "Worry about her?" Ryan was puzzled and had to say, "Although she is running the announcement, the freshness has not disappeared. There will be no problems in the short term."


    "I''m not talking about that." Nicole shook her head. "Don''t you think Alison and Gwyne are similar in some ways?"


    Ryan immediately understood what Nicole meant. Speaking of which, their sister, although smart and sensible, had the common problems of most wealthy girls, and in terms of the flexibility of the head and the cleverness of the methods, she could get rid of Gwyneth. ? Paltrow three streets.


    "this is the key of the problem."


    She seemed to understand what Ryan was thinking, and Nicole said worriedly, "Such girls are generally not popular with the opposite sex. Alison has never interacted with anyone before, and he has even played tricks with Kristen. I''m so worried about the boy who pursued her..."


    "Okay, dear." Ryan shook Nicole''s hand firmly, "You think too much, high IQ doesn''t mean low EQ."


    "I hope so."


    Taylor¡¯s previous life seems to have some problems with his emotional intelligence, but his living environment and personality have changed in this life, and those messy things will definitely not happen again.


    Entering Burbank, the car did not go to the Disney building, but went directly to the Warner Studios. Ryan and Nicole changed to a battery car and drove slowly towards Studio 32.


    The film shot here has little to do with Ryan and Disney. Although many major Hollywood manufacturers have announced their participation due to the Iranian attack, 90% of the funds actually came from Nicole¡¯s Kidman studio. The investment in the film itself is not too high.


    Walking into the studio, the most striking thing is undoubtedly the green screen everywhere, and dozens of red pants standing on the green screen. In order to shoot this film, including Gerald Butler and Michael Fassbender. The main actors in the show have undergone six months of fitness training, and have developed quite exaggerated muscles. Coupled with the modification of late special effects, these sturdy men are enough to attract many audiences.


    On the other side, Xerxes I¡¯s appearance is quite ugly, especially in the eyes of contrasting people like Ryan, it is far more ugly and evil than in previous movies. This can be regarded as Hollywood¡¯s revenge against Iran. Who made the Persians be The ancestors of most Iranians today.


    As for whether the Iranians will protest after the film is released, Ryan doesn''t mind another large-scale smearing operation at that time. In the eyes of most Westerners, Iran is a veritable source of evil in the world.


    This is a film led by Nicole. Even though the producer''s name is hung, Ryan doesn''t mean to say anything. During the free time of the crew, he basically listens to Nicole and director Zach Schneider exchanging opinions.


    "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" does not have any exterior shots. All the images will be completed in front of the green screen in the studio. The background is added through post-production and replacement. Most of the actors¡¯ action scenes are full of muscles. The difficulty can''t even match "The Hunger Games".


    After all, this film is more focused on post-production.


    "The production cost of the film is $65 million."


    Sitting on a chair in the lounge area, Nicole held a coffee cup and said to Ryan, "This is the movie I have invested the most in. If it weren''t for the Iranian help, I''m afraid I would need a similar amount of publicity expenses."


    "So, we need such an opponent." Ryan laughed.


    In any case, the Iranian public opinion attacks have done a good job of propaganda for "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", and after the film project was established, it has maintained a certain degree of topicality through various propaganda methods, and has never left. The sight of the public.


    If there are some conflicts or conflicts between the federal government and Iran next year when the theater is released, it will undoubtedly increase the propaganda. At that time, under the banner of resisting the evil Persians, it will certainly not be difficult to attract audiences into the theater.


    These propaganda methods are all used by Hollywood. As long as they can generate enough profits, Hollywood does not mind portraying Iranians as ridiculous images of Xerxes I.


    Compared with other production and distribution companies, because the main recipient group is the relationship between teenagers, Disney''s bottom line in publicity is a little higher, but after so many years of operation, Disney has summarized the publicity for teenagers. Many effective methods have created favorable conditions for the big sales of Disney''s movies.


    Of the four major productions released in the summer archive, "X-Men 3: Last Stand" has only double digits left in the theaters, and the North American box office should end up at around $285 million; the theaters of "The Smiths" There is not much left. The box office of more than 197 million US dollars has almost reached its limit. If Brad Pitt does not make a move, the North American box office will definitely not exceed 200 million US dollars.


    Similarly, after the North American box office of "The Hunger Games" struggling to pass the $430 million mark, the market potential was completely exhausted, and the downgrade was just a matter of time.


    The only thing that can make a difference in theaters is "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Gathering Coffin". After the film received a US$350 million box office in North America, the weekly box office dropped to seven figures. The next step is to rely on time. Accumulated.


    According to the development trend of overseas box office, the global box office of "X-Men 3: Last Stand" and "Smiths" will eventually be around US$550 million and US$400 million, respectively. It is impossible to recover the cost through the box office. Peripheral products are not difficult to achieve profitability, but the later full copyright operation will directly affect the amount of profitability.


    Large-scale media groups can operate through the entire industry chain, which has a huge advantage in this regard. Disney is a media group with film and television and related industries as its core business. This advantage is even greater.


    Estimates from the relevant departments of Disney The two films pass the copyright in the later period, and each can bring at least close to 100 million US dollars in net profit within two years.


    The global box office of "The Hunger Games" barely exceeded US$600 million. The current growth rate is very slow. In the end, it can exceed US$700 million. Even Ryan has no confidence. However, the film finally passed the box office to recover the cost. It''s profitable.


    In addition to popular novels and mockingbird brooches, Disney also gave the comics copyright to Marvel Comics. The latest "Hunger Games" comics were also released in mid-July. Although the sales are not very good, it is not special. Poor, it can always bring six-figure profits.


    As for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Gathering Coffin", although it is difficult to surpass "The Hunger Games" in North America, it has completely crushed the latter in overseas markets. It has received more than $700 million in less than 30 days of release. Global box office, if nothing else, this will be the first film to break the $1 billion mark this year.


    Entering August, the North American market gradually cooled down, but as usual, Disney launched another major production at the beginning of the month.

 Chapter 680： Who want to be the protagonist

    On the first weekend of August, Marvel Pictures held a grand premiere for "The Hulk" at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. This is the second part of the Marvel Phase One Universe Project after "Captain America". The work, the role players who are currently determined to appear in the Marvel movie will gather in Los Angeles.


    The brain of the Avengers and the commander of Captain America is played by Ryan; Scarlett Johnson will continue her journey of Black Widow; Robert Downey Jr.¡¯s Iron Man will come out next year; Samuel Jackson¡¯s Before the general mobilization, Nick Fury had been playing soy sauce everywhere; the blue-faced confidant of the Black Widow was also confirmed to be played by the unknown Jeremy Renner; the reddest Wolverine Logan in the X-Men might also join. This team.


    Of course, the protagonist of this movie is the Hulk. Mark Ruffalo, who has worked hard in Hollywood for many years but has not achieved anything, appeared on the red carpet with Kate Beckinsale. The latter is the film¡¯s Heroine.


    Entering the front hall of the theater and after a few greetings with the people who came over, Ryan found the unusually conspicuous Taylor. She sneaked in through the side door and was holding a little girl.


    "Lily, you are so beautiful today." Ryan rubbed the little girl''s hair gently.


    Lily Mo Sheen seems to have some opinions about his hair being messed up by this action, but unlike Tyler when she was a child, she still greets politely, "Hello, godfather."


    "Lily, you have to learn to refuse!" Tyler moved out what Ryan had said.


    "But...but..." The little girl paused for a while before she came up with a suitable expression, "I think this is a way for the godfather to express affection."


    Ryan squatted down and helped Lily sort out the crooked princess hairpin, then looked at Tyler, "When did you come back."


    "Last night." Taylor took over Ryan''s job. "I came back a bit late, so I didn''t call you. I met Scarlett again this morning, so we went to Kate, and I became Lily''s nanny. ."


    "Thank you sister." Lily looked very well-behaved.


    The film¡¯s rating is pg-13. After entering the theater¡¯s lobby, Taylor returned Lily to Kate Beckinsale, joined Scarlett Johansson, and sat next to Ryan. Before the film started, two The girl kept muttering, and the intimate ones seemed to have endless words. It didn''t stop until the movie started.


    Compared with the somewhat literary "Hulk" by Ang Lee in the previous life, this is an out-and-out popcorn movie. From the character to the plot to the theme, there is no obscurity and complexity, and it seems unusually simple.


    There is no need for such a film to pay attention to too much humanistic feelings and to investigate the deep-seated social reasons behind it. It pays more attention to the requirements of the action scene, especially inheriting the usual level of action and special effects of the Marvel superhero movie, the Hulk¡¯s Each of the three action scenes has its own merits, and each is more violent and lasting.


    The motion capture provided by Mark Ruffalo has some minor flaws. However, compared to the Hulk in which Ang Lee personally starred in the previous life, it is better, and it''s okay to cope with the existing movies.


    There is no surprise. Everything in the film appears to be well-regulated. Like all the heroes in Marvel movies, even if it is misunderstood, Hulk will fight for the Great America. Thus, a rager turned into a superhero.


    Of course, at the end of the film, there is no shortage of easter eggs. Tony Stark played by Robert Downey Jr. appeared in a personable manner. It''s not a big surprise.


    Disney''s promotion of "Iron Man" has been launched long ago, and over time, the surprising "Avengers" project is no secret in the eyes of senior movie fans.


    Obviously, the next superhero movie must be "Iron Man".


    The Hulk is an important member of the Avengers. Its movies are actually not easy to shoot. Few people will like characters who are easily angry and unable to control themselves. Even if there are many comic fans, comics and movies are completely different carriers. , The audience of the movie is still relatively small.


    The most direct reaction to this is at the box office. The box office of "Hulk" on the first three days of the year is definitely the lowest in a Marvel Hero movie in recent years, even the "Fantastic Four" produced by Paramount. Inferior, only got the North American box office of 55.41 million US dollars.


    The market reacted in surprise, especially Ryan¡¯s expectation. Their goal is simple. Through the later operation, they will try to recover the cost. For at least 15 years, there will be no more separate Hulk movies. Hulk will only Other superheroes joined forces to appear on the screen.


    A total of 150 million U.S. dollars was invested in the film. If the Australian government¡¯s tax rebates and part of the bill and the costs of implanting advertising offsets are included, the actual total cost is only a little more than 100 million U.S. dollars. The difficulty of returning the cost is not particularly large.


    Fortunately, in August there was no particularly strong competitor. The box office of the film remained close to 40 million US dollars in the second week. In some respects, thanks to Sony Columbia Pictures¡¯ ¡°Top Secret Flight¡± released this week. too poor.


    This aerial popcorn produced by Sony Entertainment at a cost of US$135 million did not please the critics or the audience. It only had a box office of more than US$13 million on the first Wednesday. It is another year after this year¡¯s "Kings of Heaven". A large-scale commercial film doomed to fail miserably.


    Today¡¯s Sony Columbia Pictures has no life-saving "Spider-Man" series. In the past few years, it has been swaying like a tightrope. It may fall into the abyss like MGM at any time, and it even brings the entire performance of Sony Entertainment. In decline.


    Sony has long lost the magic of the last century. Compared with the plummeting electronic products, its audio-visual industry has the best performance in all sectors.


    However, these have not much to do with Ryan. There must be the Japanese government, and Sony is not so easy to fall into the quagmire.


    Now he is sitting in front of the computer in the entertainment room, relaxing with Taylor, and the way to relax is to play games.


    "I feel a lot of pressure sometimes."


    While waiting for the game characters to log in, Taylor said to him, "It''s hard to relax completely, and I don''t want to go to the nightclub to go crazy like those fallen guys, so I have to find a way."


    "So you chose to play the game?" Ryan didn''t mean to blame.


    "Only play when the pressure is high." Taylor''s Hydrangea stood in Ironforge, and then grouped the Elf Hunters with long ears that appeared beside him into a team, and then continued, " Put all your energy into the world of the game temporarily. If you don¡¯t think about things in reality, your tense nerves will gradually relax, and the pressure will disappear without even knowing it."


    "It sounds like a good way." Ryan called out the settings interface, set up a few shortcut keys according to the last time he played, and then opened the equipment bar, vaguely remembering that the purple equipment in the previous life seemed to be the product of a high-end copy. Can''t help asking, "Is this your collection?"


    "Where do I have time to collect equipment?" Taylor shook his head slowly, "I specifically called Mr. Adhan for this. By the way, he also asked me not to tell anyone, Ryan, you don''t Tell other players in the game."


    "My dear, I''m not an idiot." Didn''t you tell others that you smashed the sign of your company?


    "Wow, the guild organizes to fight the black dragon." Taylor stared at the chat bar for a while and said, "Let''s go too."


    These two characters only joined the guild a few days ago. They are relatively unfamiliar. However, the leader of the dungeon group, after seeing the equipment of the two, immediately put the pair of unreliable guys together. Entered into a large team of forty people.


    "Go, go!" Tyler turned to Ryan''s screen and asked, "Do you know how to go?"


    Seeing Ryan shook her head, she immediately grabbed the mouse and controlled the hunter with long ears to fly to Menethil Harbor. A boat came by and got on the boat again. Then she hurriedly rushed with the hydrangea. Go to the lair of the black dragon princess.


    "correct."


    After getting off the boat, Hydrangea rode ahead on a horse, and the hunter with long ears rode a tiger behind. Taylor asked on the team channel, "Aren''t you writing the script of Warcraft? Are you finished?"


    "No."


    When he can speak, Ryan is too lazy to type. "The outline of the trilogy is complete. The first script has been written a lot, but it still needs to be revised."


    "Script? What script?"


    What Hydrangea said just now obviously caught the attention of others, and a dwarf thief immediately asked, "The script of Warcraft? The hunter is a playwright?"


    "Ah..." Taylor tapped a line of decimal points.


    The dwarf thieves seem to know a lot, and they typed very serious words, "I tell you, the copyright of the Warcraft series is in the hands of Ryan. Do you know who Ryan is? He is the creator of this world. If you adapt it indiscriminately, it will infringe. ! So, don''t think about messy things."


    The hunter with long ears remained silent, and Hydrangea asked on the team channel, "You said, what will happen if this series is adapted into a movie?"


    "We''ve been waiting The human warriors in the team also spoke up, "This is definitely the best online game ever. Ryan''s novel has shaped a whole new world, and we want to watch it too. To the movie version of the Warcraft series. "


    "Yeah, yeah..." The words of other people appeared on the team channel.


    "If it is adapted..."


    Tyler had a lot of fun with this kind of game that does not reveal his identity, and Hydrangea continued to speak, "Who do you want to be the protagonist?"


    Everyone was not far away from Theramore at this time, and Taylor continued to type on the keyboard, "I personally like Jaina Proudmoore."


    "I like Anduin? Lothar..."


    "Muradin? Bronzebeard..."


    "Or Arthas? Menethil is appropriate."


    In this way, Ryan''s hunters followed the hydrangea all the way into the Black Dragon Valley, and met a tribal team at the door of Onyxia''s lair. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 681： Take a deep breath

    The alliance and tribe teams are very distinct. Several human warlocks and necromancers are still summoning teammates. Although the two sides watched each other and occasionally made some nasty moves, no war broke out because this was a pve server.


    Unlike Ryan¡¯s poor experience of a little Warcraft game in his previous life, North America is mostly pve servers, and the few pvp servers have significantly fewer players.


    "Right, Alison." Ryan vaguely remembered that this copy needed a key. "Do we have a key?"


    "That..." Taylor scratched his face, "It should be possible to enter, I remember Mr. Adhan opened up all the functions for these two characters."


    After speaking, she leaned over and took over Ryan¡¯s backpack. After searching for it, she finally found a necklace, which was replaced by the hunter with long ears, and jumped into the door of the instance. After a short countdown, the elf hunter appeared. In a dark cave.


    "Don''t run around." Taylor returned to his computer. "Just follow the back."


    The battle quickly kicked off. A few fighters rushed to the front and withstood the elite dragon men who came to patrol. Ryan was at the limit of the shooting range, and made ordinary attacks every once in a while. It was pure soy sauce. .


    Killing four mobs along the way, smoothly came to the black dragon princess Onyxia not far away, this female dragon killed by Varian Wrynn in the plot of the novel, it seems that it is not easy to deal with.


    The commander talked about a big deal, and Ryan took a brief look. For his profession, the style of play is not too complicated. He hides behind the black dragon and puts cold arrows, and then puts on a suspended animation in a timely manner.


    "Know your situation, mortal!"


    The trembling began. Hearing Onyxia''s lines, Ryan asked, "Why is this voice so familiar?"


    "It seems that Scarlett dubbed her." Taylor controlled the thief skillfully. Poke and poke behind the dragon''s ass, "There are also some famous characters dubbed by tomboys."


    Ryan pressed the fake death, and the hunter with long ears lay on the ground. He didn''t get up immediately, but was lazy during this time.


    "It doesn''t seem to be difficult," he said.


    "The most difficult stage is coming."


    As soon as Tyler finished speaking, Onyxia turned around a few run-ups, and then flew to the sky, throwing fireballs one after another.


    "Hunters attack with all their strength!" someone in the team shouted.


    The hunter with long ears immediately got up, and the snake sting, arcane shooting, aiming shooting, and multiple shooting went next to each other.


    Onyxia took a deep breath...


    Seeing this prompt, Ryan immediately remembered this famous big move. When I turned around, I ran towards the passage where I was coming, but it was too late. Just halfway through the run, a large group of flames fell from the sky, the entire screen turned orange, and the hunter with long ears let out a scream. , Slowly fell to his knees.


    "Take a deep breath!"


    I haven''t experienced it in the previous life, but Ryan has always heard of it.


    It seems you can rest now? He is not a good game player, and he is not familiar with this game. After following the female dragon in the sky for a few laps, I felt a little dizzy in his head. Lying on the floor was more suitable for soy sauce players like him, and the angle of view was dragged away. It looks good as a movie.


    "You''re so stupid." Taylor wrinkled his nose to this side, turned his head and continued to poke the black dragon''s **** which had fallen from the sky.


    After a few minutes, Onyxia, the black dragon princess, uttered the last cry, and her head was chopped off by forty rookies.


    The door of the entertainment room was knocked softly. Then Charlize opened the door and walked in. She stood behind and looked at the two errands, reminded. "It''s time for dinner."


    "Hi, Charlie." Tyler turned his head and beckoned to Charlize, who had just returned home. "You look so beautiful today."


    "Really?" Women like this kind of compliment the most.


    "Of course." Ryan will certainly not be stingy and praise, "There are definitely few Hollywood actresses who are more beautiful than you."


    Charlize is wearing light blue slim-fitting jeans and an off-white tight-fitting sweater. On the edge of the V-shaped neckline, there is also a simple but noble purple crystal necklace, which is indeed extremely beautiful.


    These are mostly products of her ct fashion company.


    "Thank you!" She bent down, pulled Ryan''s head back, and stamped **** his mouth.


    "Do you need me to disappear temporarily?" Taylor looked at this side with a smile.


    "Naughty!" Ryan flicked at her forehead.


    Taylor quit the game quickly, turned off the computer, jumped to Charlize, took her arm, "Charlie, you are now a fashion expert, I have a lot of questions to ask you."


    "Let''s go to the restaurant first."


    Seeing that Ryan had also turned off the computer, Charlize pulled Tyler out of the entertainment room. Ryan followed them and listened to the two women discussing fashion topics.


    "The most cutting-edge, most popular, may not be suitable for you."


    When he walked into the restaurant, Charlize was still talking about this to Taylor, "The one that can maximize your body''s strengths is..."


    Even if they are sitting at the dining table, Taylor and Charlize only occasionally move their knives and forks. Most of the time, the topic of discussion shifts from clothing to cosmetics, from custom-made dresses to mix-and-match styles. Women are dressing up There will always be endless topics for discussion.


    Dinner is also one of the natural enemies of women. Charlize and Taylor don''t eat much. When their topic came to an end, Ryan asked, "My dear, is the company running smoothly?"


    "The speed of development is much faster than I expected."


    With the help of the entire Disney Group, the rise of CT can only be described as unbelievable. Charlize understands this, but he did not say any extra words of thanks. "At present, we have one or two in all the first-tier cities in North America. On the facade, in addition to the contract signed with Disney, the company has also entered most of the well-known department stores in the United States. Although clothing and sunglasses will still lose money this year, our candy business has achieved a breakeven."


    It takes time for any company to develop, even the ct company standing on the shoulders of the Walt Disney Group.


    "I will notify the person in charge of Disney''s media." Ryan thought for a while and said, "The publicity needs to be increased."


    "Actually, "The Hunger Games"..." After a pause, Charlize said, "After the movie was released, sales of the company¡¯s clothing and accessories rose by nearly 30%. The company¡¯s management team suggested that I should In addition to "The Queen in Prada", continue to sponsor your movies."


    "Fashion products will definitely give priority to ct."


    Before the release of "The Hunger Games", CT had obtained all copyright authorizations including Mockingbirds. With the help of the film''s popularity in North America, the sales of its products have increased rapidly. Although the specific figures are not clear, Ryan Knowing that this will help Charlize''s company a lot, "After the release of "The Queen in Prada", your performance will continue to grow."


    The movie is scheduled for the beginning of next year. In addition to retaining the original story and accepting Anna Wintour¡¯s suggestion, with a small modification, the biggest change is that it has almost become a ct brand advertising feature.


    And next month, the ct brand also won tickets for New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. Ryan not only asked the subordinate media to follow up the matter, but also personally called a number of well-known people to Paris for Charlie. Here to help out.


    It is extremely difficult for a self-made person to start a business, but for Charlize, who can draw on the power of one of the world''s leading media groups, it is not particularly difficult to successfully build her own fashion brand.


    Of course, the establishment of ct company is still short, the main goal is to start the brand name.


    After dinner, the three of them sat in the living room and chatted for a while. Taylor called and notified the driver and bodyguard to come and pick her up.


    "Aren''t you staying here tonight?" Charlize asked when Tyler was sent outside the villa.


    "I''m going to Santa Monica." Tyler walked to the front of the car and briefly explained to Ryan and Charlize, "I have an appointment with Scarlett to go out to sea tomorrow morning, and she bought a new small yacht."


    "The weather has not been very good recently." Ryan warned uneasy, "Don''t stay away from the coastline."


    "Safety first." Tyler got into the car and said grinning before closing the door. "I always remember it. This is the most basic principle."


    Ryan didn''t mean to go back when he sent Tyler away. He took Liz around the huge villa and walked into the back garden.


    Under the dimly yellow street lamp, the cobblestone path was winding and long. The two held hands, pacing slowly, listening to each other''s subtle breathing, rarely talking, and occasional wind blowing, driving the flowers on both sides of the path slightly Shaking accompanied by the fresh air, almost all the scent of hydrangea.


    Since the day Ryan moved here, he has planted a large number of hydrangeas of different colors. This is Taylor''s favorite flower, and it is also the flower with the largest variety and number in the garden.


    "The first time I met Tyler at the Christmas Tree Farm in Pennsylvania." Ryan gestured to Charlize with a baby gesture, "Alison is just a little bit like this. At that time, as long as I touch her, she will Crying, like water, only the scent of hydrangea in the farm garden and the calls of flying robins make her laugh."


    "I also remember when Alison saw me for the first time." Charlize pulled Ryan, and the two sat on the bench by the roadside. "At the time, her eyes were as sharp as a knife. I am her worst enemy."


    "My dear." Ryan took the South African diamond''s hand and kissed the back of his hand lightly. "She likes you very much now, doesn''t she?"


    Charlize shrugged playfully. She knew that Ryan treated Tyler like his own sister. It took a lot of effort to establish a relationship with her. The other party¡¯s character is almost a copy of Ryan, treating outsiders and their own people. Attitude can only be described as the opposite. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 682： The opponent is the whole era

    The light of the morning reflected through the curtains into the bedroom. Ryan woke up from sleep on time and habitually touched his side, only touching the concealed goose down quilt. The graceful body lying underneath disappeared last night. From the cold temperature, Charlize seems to have been away for a while.


    Shaking his head vigorously, Ryan was completely awake. When he sat up, he couldn''t help feeling a little backache. The two were crazy for too long last night. Charlize seemed to have entered the most demanding age group, he was already wild. Love and pie has become more unrestrained in the past year.


    After putting on the neatly sized clothes on the bedside table, Ryan walked into the bathroom and picked up the toothbrush, only to find a bright red lip print on his forehead through the mirror. No need to distinguish carefully, he also knew that it was South African beauty. The prank when drilling away.


    Charlize took his Boeing plane to Switzerland early in the morning, preparing to participate in a FIFA World Cup event held in recent days. She is an important representative and image spokesperson for South Africa.


    Although she became a citizen of the United States a few years ago, she defaulted to dual citizenship. Charlize still has great enthusiasm for the cause of the motherland. The South African World Cup Organizing Committee invited her to participate in the event, as long as time permits, she will never refuse .


    Besides, this is also a good way to promote yourself and its brands.


    Football fans can be said to be one of the largest groups in the world.


    Originally, the South African side once tried to invite him to participate in several publicity activities through Charlize, but Ryan refused. He didn''t even bother to mix things with his club, let alone other people''s affairs.


    Speaking of football, Manchester United lost the Premier League title last season. After Wenger, Ferguson finally met a strong competitor. The magic bird''s utilitarian football ideas and bus tactics really troubled countless people.


    This is not without benefits. Only when there is competition, there will be development. Last year, Alex Ferguson once considered retirement, and now he has a strong competitor. Presumably, this competitive old Scottish man will definitely look like his previous life. Keep going like that.


    When the old man is about to retire, do he change hands and sell Manchester United?


    While eating breakfast, Ryan was still thinking about football, Quandang relaxed.


    According to the development trend of the past life, it is not difficult for Manchester United to sell more than one billion pounds, but he does not lack this money. Maybe he retires in the future and can he focus on playing football?


    Football or something, that''s all for the future. Ryan rushed to the Disney headquarters in Burbank after breakfast, and had to attend a meeting in the morning.


    This is a meeting jointly convened by Ryan and Robert Iger. The main purpose is to drive the Disney management, especially the thinking of the marketing department, to gradually move closer to the Internet.


    Of course, this kind of transition requires time and a process. Numerous historical experiences have proved that turning too fast will only overturn the car.


    Moreover, the previous Walt Disney Group''s transformation from marketing methods to product distribution after Robert Iger came to power was considered a success. What Ryan did was just to advance this process slightly. After all, it really belongs to Internet marketing. The era has not fully arrived yet, and Disney has enough time to prepare.


    In fact, since Ryan entered Disney, Disney¡¯s films and peripheral products have increased investment in Internet marketing, withdrew 95% of the previously used public relations film critics, and switched to other increased investments. Put into the Internet together.


    The subsequent big sales of a series of films also proved that this is an effective way of publicity. Several other major film companies are also increasing their spending on Internet marketing, and a lot of this part of the cost comes from the past payments to traditional film critics. Bonus.


    In other words, Ryan has played an active role in taking the lead in this transition between the old and the new. It is no wonder that the old film critics have become less and less eager to see works related to him in the past few years. After all, he has moved their cake.


    Unfortunately, they are just some people who are destined to be abandoned by the times. There is no good way to deal with Ryan or the current situation.


    The meeting was hosted by Robert Iger, with a typical western corporate style, concise, incisive, and straight to the theme.


    Robert Iger''s words are not too many. In addition to emphasizing the huge role of the Internet in Disney''s overall marketing in the past year, he also focused on the performance of Walt Disney in the last fiscal year.


    The entire Walt Disney Group¡¯s turnover last year reached 45 billion U.S. dollars, its pre-tax profit was 9.62 billion U.S. dollars, and its net profit reached a record high of 6.2 billion U.S. dollars.


    These figures have made considerable progress over the previous fiscal year. As the running-in period with Marvel Comics, Jenkins Pictures and Pixar Studios has completely ended, the entire Disney Group has entered the fast lane.


    You know, in the last fiscal year that Michael Eisner was in, Disney''s net profit changed from just $900 million in the previous year to a loss! .


    After the heads of several important departments briefly introduced their respective business development and planning, Ryan used a concise and powerful speech to remind everyone of the importance of the Internet to the development of the group company.


    "The Internet is not only a tool of the industrial age or a technological advancement, it should be regarded as an independent era, and the biggest disruption at the moment is also the subversion of the industrial age in the Internet era!"


    Perhaps the current Internet has only formed a certain impact on traditional industries, but Ryan, who has had previous life experience, knows what kind of era the future will be. He knuckles and knocks off the table, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. Lihou continued, "Looking back at history, at all times when the old and the new are changing, the old times are all defeated."


    "In fact, our real competitor is not Time Warner, not Viacom, nor News Corporation and Conscat."


    These Disney executives all laughed and seemed to have guessed what Ryan said, and what Ryan said was not much different from what they thought, "Our real opponent is the entire era! It belongs to the era of the Internet."


    "In the past three years or so, we have increased our spending on Internet marketing." Ryan''s voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone''s ears, "The Hunger Games, Pirates of the Caribbean 2, etc. released this year. Film projects and Internet marketing expenses have exceeded one-third of the full amount, and the huge sales of films and related derivatives have also proved that our investment is completely worthwhile."


    "So!" Ryan strengthened his tone a little, "The film industry will become the first batch of traditional industries to be subverted by the Internet. In the future, it will follow some rules of the Internet. For traditional film and television companies, in fact, the opponent is not only Other large companies and small teams are not video sites, online ticketing sites, or advanced management and industrialization systems. In fact, the opponent is the entire era!"


    In recent years, there has been more and more cooperation with Internet companies, and the Disney management, who also has a huge network layout, obviously has more personal experience.


    The failure of several films that mainly rely on traditional marketing methods has actually sounded a wake-up call to Hollywood producers and distributors. Although the Internet is gaining more and more attention, there are still quite a few Hollywood company managements. The thinking is still arguing about the past "feelings", without realizing that this is actually the quiet arrival of an affair.


    In a few years, those traditional blockbusters that do not have Internet genes have only one way to go, leaving traditional film and television companies that do not know how to keep up with the changes of the times in a mess.


    There are three levels of destructive innovation in the Internet era. The lowest level is the subversion of products by products; the next level is the subversion of categories to categories, or the subversion of industries to industries; the highest level of subversion is the subversion of the times to the times.


    In terms of products, the traditional films produced by Hollywood have bid farewell to the era of extensive money-grabbing growth, and losses are increasing; in terms of industry competition, they will also face cross-industry competition in the Internet industry of BAT, video sites, and online ticketing sites. ; In fact, these are not the most terrible, the most terrible subversion comes from the traditional era in which I am in, starting to turn around The new Internet era has arrived.


    In the future, let alone the entire traditional industry being subverted one by one, even within the Internet industry, traditional Internet companies are gradually being subverted.


    This can be said to be a destructive innovation. It will always make people think that it is a breakthrough new technology. On the contrary, destructive innovation is not a breakthrough technology at all. Its characteristic at the beginning is to reduce the original performance. Indicators are usually more convenient, simpler, and cheaper.


    The most typical example is that with the online pre-sale mechanism, "The Hunger Games" created a miraculous pre-sale record in the history of North American movies. More than half of the crazy pre-sale of more than 110 million US dollars came from the Internet. Book a ticket!


    The Internet not only subverts the film industry from the channel, but also gradually subverts the backward traditional content production in terms of content. The market share of traditional blockbusters that do not adapt to the Internet age will inevitably shrink sharply.


    For Disney, which was founded nearly 80 years ago, there have been too many storms and waves. The entire group has survived crises again and again with wisdom and experience, but this era is really different now.


    Because Walt Disney¡¯s most important competitor is not an individual or a group, but the entire era.


    In this era, past experience, wisdom and resource advantages are suddenly no longer useful, because many times the rules of disruptive innovation are exactly the opposite of the original market rules.


    This is also the reason why Ryan has emphasized the importance of the Internet at Disney''s high-level meetings several times. The entire group must make steady and appropriate changes, otherwise it will inevitably be eliminated in the future.


    He still remembers the famous words of Nokia-we did nothing wrong, but for some reason, we lost! R1152

 Chapter 683： Interest demands

    It¡¯s too far away from now, and I didn¡¯t care much at the beginning. Ryan remembers not very clearly, but has a vague impression. In his previous life in 2012, Walt Disney¡¯s subordinate film and television entertainment, media networks, consumer goods, theme parks, and resort hotels And among the six major businesses such as interactive media, the revenue from the media network accounted for more than 40% of the total revenue, which is the most important part of the revenue.


    Of course, the contribution made by film and television entertainment cannot be ignored. The revenue generated by this business itself is limited, but its derivative products are not only consumer goods manufacturing, but also can continue to develop derivative value through Disney¡¯s media network, thereby expanding the business Expansion of revenue, creating a huge market.


    From the single business of animation production to the diversified business structure related to the industry, Disney¡¯s diversified nodes and collaboration between businesses are leaders all over the world. Many people from the other side of the previous life have given it the "Disney Model". title.


    However, in the face of the raging Internet wave, as Ryan said, Disney must make appropriate adjustments, and the earlier such adjustments are opened, the more beneficial the stable development of the entire group.


    It¡¯s now 2005, and it¡¯s about to be 2006. In the past, small-town youths and post-90s groups that were neglected in the United States have grown up. For Disney, which is mainly aimed at the youth market, they will become an important audience group. component.


    The Internet gene is precisely the gene of young people. They are the most important users of the Internet. Disney values ??the Internet, and undoubtedly is also the most important consumer group that values ??itself.


    Ryan will never forget that the Internet is user thinking, and there are still many differences from the current Hollywood audience thinking.


    The most typical way of thinking for users is that users can satisfy what they need, and they should follow the trend instead of going against the trend.


    Disney and Ryan are promoting and reforming new fairy tales and new animation projects, to a certain extent, to cater to the thinking and tastes of future users.


    Doji prevails, Lily saves the world, Little Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf are blood related, etc. In short, as long as the future user groups who use the Internet as the main base like it, his Disney will not hesitate to produce these types of works.


    After the meeting, in the afternoon, Ryan also met with a representative from Sony who was appointed in advance. The other party came here to seek support and cooperation. At present, the situation of the entire Sony Group is not very good, except for the electronics business. In addition to shrinking and the entertainment business being dragged down by Columbia Pictures, it is also facing fierce competition in the latest DVD format.


    The BD Blu-ray disc format advocated by Sony is facing severe challenges from the HD format of the consortium led by Toshiba.


    Nowadays, Hollywood''s film and television works are the absolute mainstream in the world. Whether they can earn the support of Hollywood is undoubtedly the key to this competition.


    After the annexation of Pixar Studios and Jenkins Pictures, Disney is the well-deserved world animation hegemon. Through Ryan¡¯s transfer, he also has a batch of the most outstanding films in the past ten years, such as "Titanic" and "Jurassic". Copyright of "Park", "Lord of the Rings", etc.


    As a traditional giant and one of the most influential figures in the United States, if Disney and Ryanken support Sony, they have won half of this business battle.


    If you follow the way of thinking in the previous life, Ryan will definitely refuse the request of the Japanese without hesitation.


    However, he is no longer what he was when he was now. In his current position, interest is the primary factor for him to consider these issues.


    Ryan didn''t mean to embarrass Sony. He stated that he would support Sony''s BD Blu-ray format. Of course, he also put forward his own interests. What he wanted was very simple. He bought a few patents for photography technology in Sony''s hands.


    These are all to further improve the IMAX3D technology.


    To send away Sony¡¯s people, Ryan left the Disney office building and entered the Disney Studios not far behind. In an editing room belonging to Touchstone Pictures, he found someone who worked in the late stage of "127 Hours". Natalie.


    knocked on the door, Natalie''s assistant Anna who opened the door inside, after seeing Ryan, took the initiative to step aside, Ryan nodded to her and walked in softly.


    The editing room is not too big, less than a hundred square feet. In addition to Natalie, there is an editor, but they are not working. They seem to be resting and exchanging work opinions.


    Natalie turned to look at Ryan, gave him a look for a while, and continued the conversation with the editor. Ryan took the coffee Anna handed over, and simply sat on the chair by the door, patiently wait.


    It didn¡¯t take long for Natalie and the editor to restart the filming machine and continue their work, because the film was in the style of a documentary, using traditional film instead of the increasingly popular digital video camera. .


    It is said that serious people are the most beautiful. Even if they are face-to-face and their face lines are still rough, Ryan still feels that Natalie has a huge attraction to herself.


    This is a movie led by Natalie, Ryan just sits quietly and doesn''t mean to participate in the past.


    After waiting for a full hour, Natalie''s clear voice came from the workbench, "Mingna, let''s stop here today. There is still enough time for us to finish it easily, and we will continue next Monday."


    "Well, Nat."


    The editor greeted Natalie, smiled at Ryan again, packed his own things, and left the editing room first.


    "You finished your work very early today." Natalie walked over with her handbag.


    "I''m the boss." Ryan stood up and kissed her cheek, "So I decided to take a vacation for myself in the afternoon."


    Natalie kissed the corner of Ryan''s mouth back and took his hand, "Let''s go."


    Arm in arm, the two walked across the somewhat deserted road of the studio, towards the Disney office area.


    This Disney-affiliated studio faces the same problem as Universal Studios and Warner Studios, that is, it is seriously under-operated. Not to mention foreign rental crews, even most of the films produced by Disney will not be available. For this filming, I chose to leave California. Those overseas regions with larger tax rebates and part of the bill for the producers are the preferred filming locations for Hollywood crews.


    "It''s so deserted." Natalie looked at the studios passing by, among which there were not many crews staying in. "I still remember that ten years ago, when I came to Los Angeles, you took me to visit major studios. Every now and then you can see the crews that are starting to work, now..."


    She shook her head slightly.


    "Now the number of films shot in Hollywood every year is increasing."


    This involves the interests of California and the federal government and various aspects. Ryan can''t come up with a good solution in a short time. "But there are fewer and fewer crews in Los Angeles. The movie kingdom of Hollywood has long been out of its name."


    He is naturally talking about Hollywood in the region.


    "Don''t Arnold Schwarzenegger want to promote film tax reform?"


    When we reached the parking area of ??the battery car, Natalie randomly chose one and sat in the position of the co-pilot. Ryan jumped into the driving position, started the battery car, turned the steering wheel into the main road, and faced Natalie. Said, "The resistance to reform is far greater than the motivation. In my opinion, it is impossible for Arnold to solve the problem of crew exodus during his tenure."


    Don¡¯t talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger in the previous life. Later governors were also helpless with the outflow of the film and television industry, and the measures introduced were simply unable to change this situation.


    "I''m going to Canada on the 12th of next month." Natalie changed the subject, "Do you have time?"


    "Canada?" Ryan was taken aback for a moment, then remembered, "I almost forgot, you are going to the Toronto Film Festival with the film."


    "It''s just a screening." Natalie seemed a little regretful, "We missed the registration time for the competition unit."


    Although the Toronto International Film Festival does not focus on awards, it is known for the large number of film screenings. It mainly serves the market, but if it can win several awards, it is undoubtedly for a new director like Natalie. An affirmation.


    In fact, most Americans regard the Toronto Film Festival as one of the best film festivals in the world, even surpassing the three traditional European film festivals of Berlin, Cannes and Venice. Of course, there is a regional preference in this respect~www. novelhall.com~ But the influence of the Toronto International Film Festival is increasing day by day, and the more commercialized competition is also suitable for American tastes.


    Ryan calculated silently, as if this year¡¯s Toronto Film Festival happened to be in conflict with Paris Fashion Week, he had promised Charlize that he would accompany her to attend those activities organized by the CT brand during Fashion Week.


    "Is there no time?"


    Seeing that Ryan didn¡¯t answer immediately, Natalie said again, ¡°If you¡¯re busy with work, I¡¯ll just go by myself.¡±


    "Sorry, Nat."


    Parked the battery car at the door of the studio, Ryan didn''t mean to hide, "I promised someone to attend some events of Paris Fashion Week then."


    "Charlize Theron?"


    The brown eyebrows frowned, Natalie jumped out of the battery car first, and when Ryan turned from the other side, she said calmly, "Forget it."


    Without waiting for Ryan to reply, she quickly said, "Ryan, it''s the weekend tomorrow, I want to go to sea."


    "No problem." Ryan took out his mobile phone as he walked, "I will arrange it now."


    After finishing speaking, he quickly dialed the phone, briefly confessed a few words, grabbed Natalie''s hand, and walked out of the studio. His Rolls-Royce was already waiting here.


    "Go to Santa Monica." After getting in the car, Ryan told the driver, he raised the baffle, and said to Natalie, "It may take some time to prepare on the yacht. You can definitely set off before the sun sets. ."


    Reaching out a hand, Ryan gently smoothed Natalie''s frowning brows, and sighed softly in his heart. This is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened, and there is no great solution. He only Able to fulfill the promises that should have come down. R1152

 Chapter 684： Men have to speak in size

    The sun fell into the sea to the west. Ryan took Natalie onto the yacht''ts''. After the 396-foot yacht sounded its whistle, it slowly drove away from the marina in Santa Monica. As the speed accelerated, he rushed to the open sea.


    The two entered the cabin and went directly to the top deck of the yacht, standing by the guardrail, facing the refreshing sea breeze, looking at the red sea ahead.


    The sun that moved to the west completely disappeared, and the afterglow left behind, contrasted with the turquoise sea, forming a peculiar and beautiful sunset scene.


    "Leaving Los Angeles." Natalie lowered her head slightly and let Ryan put the hood on her head. "Facing the empty sea, I finally felt no pressure."


    "It turns out that my Nat also feels a lot of pressure." Ryan opened the cabinet on one side, took two bottles of energy drinks, handed them a bottle of Natalie, and said in a joking tone, "I thought Na was confident. I have always been fearless."


    "Dear¡­¡­"


    Just as Natalie wanted to speak, a yacht in front of him, which was much longer than the''ts'', appeared not particularly far away. The other party seemed to know Ryan¡¯s yacht and suddenly sounded the siren, especially the two. When the first boat crossed over, the yacht was almost close to the nearest safe distance, and the long whistle was not interrupted.


    It seems to be showing off, and it seems to be showing off.


    Both Ryan and Natalie frowned. This is a very rude behavior for the other party, and the person who can buy such a huge yacht must be the famous super rich in the United States. This is nothing like the explosives in Russia. the difference.


    "Who is this?" Natalie looked at the yacht slowly leaving in disgust, heading towards the port of Santa Monica, "Too annoying."


    "Larry Ellison''s Sunburst."


    Although this is the first time I have seen it in this life, Ryan has seen pictures of this yacht on the Internet many times in his previous life, "This kind of impolite behavior, there are not many people except him."


    "Why would he do this?" Natalie turned her head back.


    "Show off, it shows that he overpowered me on the yacht." Ryan didn''t care, he was not a kid, "Don''t forget, this one always likes to fight for wealth with others. I used shoes in Southern California a few years ago. I lost him, and I am now far behind on the rich list. I guess it feels very shameless."


    "You don''t want to build a bigger yacht..." Natalie slapped the guardrail playfully. "Then compare him?"


    "I''m not that boring."


    Pulling Natalie for a while, the two sat on the white plastic chairs at the back, "It is estimated that Larry Ellison did not expect to meet us outside the port, otherwise there will be more exciting shows."


    "Didn''t the original things pass?"


    Unscrew the bottle, Natalie took a sip first and then fed Ryan a sip, "I heard that Larry Ellison is not a narrow-minded person although he is acting arrogantly."


    "The movie his son invested in is the David Ellison."


    After seeing Natalie nodding, Ryan continued, ¡°In Sony Columbia¡¯s ¡°Top Secret Flight¡± released this month, half of the investment came from David Ellison. "Kerk" conflict is regarded as the most direct competitor. "Hulk" has now won more than 110 million US dollars in the North American box office, and "Top Secret Flight" has not yet 20 million US dollars."


    "I''ve heard of this too." Natalie also remembered, put the energy drink on the table, and said with a smile, "It is said that David Ellison saw airplanes and air battles appear in the film and immediately found them. Sony Columbia Pictures requires investment."


    "Larry Ellison has quarreled with the media many times." Ryan leaned back in his chair. "The media will definitely not let go of the opportunity to laugh at them."


    "So, he met you." Natalie automatically accepted Ryan''s words, "Want to compare you in another way?"


    With Larry Ellison''s style, Ryan would not care. Think about the grievances between this Oracle lunatic and several Microsoft giants in the past two years. This is really nothing.


    As early as 1994, in order to deal with Microsoft, Larry Ellison hired a Microsoft cleaning lady to help him engage in "infernal Affairs" activities, and finally found clues to deal with Microsoft from Microsoft¡¯s trash can. Suddenly when he received an indictment from the US Department of Justice regarding one of its bundling sales, Microsoft executives including Bill Gates and Paul Allen were caught off guard for a while.


    This is the sensational "garbage door" incident in the IT industry.


    Ryan still remembers Bill Gates''s reprimanding Larry Ellison ten years ago-look at those decent companies, they actually did such a despicable act against their competitors!


    But the instigator was very proud. Larry Ellison not only quickly admitted that everything was his own work, but also proudly announced that I was very satisfied with what I did.


    Since then, even if the Liangzi between Ellison and Microsoft is settled, the two top IT companies have no suspicion. No matter which side has something good, the other side will always make a cross, just can¡¯t. Make the opponent feel better.


    Two years ago, Microsoft Paul Allen¡¯s "Octopus" yacht was about to be completed. Once launched, this 413-foot superyacht will surpass Ryan¡¯s "ts" and the private yachts of several Middle Eastern oil tycoons. Become the longest private yacht in the world.


    The news spread quickly. In order to beat the old friends Bill Gates and Paul Allen in his life, Larry Ellison decided to lengthen the yacht he was building, which is the "Sunrise" that just sailed away. .


    The planned length of this yacht is 403 feet. It was originally built to surpass Ryan''s ¡®ts¡¯. Later, Larry Ellison increased the length to 452 feet because he didn¡¯t want the Rising Sun to be the second child at birth.


    Nowadays, the ¡®Rising Sun¡¯ is truly the number one in the world, and the constant undercurrent of the yacht-size dispute has also been brought to the surface by the lunatics of Silicon Valley.


    The super-rich seems to want to tell the world with a yacht-men, still have to speak in size!


    Yachts can be said to be the most popular way for Western wealthy people to show off their wealth.


    In fact, not only these wealthy people who are well-known in the United States, but also Hollywood celebrities, also have a soft spot for yachts.


    Following the popular private jets after 911, yachts have also become a must-have luxury for many Hollywood giants. Let alone others, even the little fat girl Scarlett Johansson spent millions of dollars to buy a small one. Yachts, and Steven Spielberg, one of the Big Three in DreamWorks, spent nearly $200 million to order a 282-foot-long "Seven Seas" from a Dutch yacht manufacturer.


    "Didn''t you say that Scarlett and Alison also went to sea?"


    The sky was getting darker, and Natalie''s eyes turned to the distance with a flying seagull, "Where did they go?"


    "Scarlett''s boat can''t go to the far sea." Ryan pointed to the north side of the yacht''s stern, "They went to San Francisco, as if they were going to some activity."


    "Activity?" Natalie frowned. Seeing Ryan didn''t care at all, she swallowed again when she wanted to speak.


    "It''s dinner time." Ryan looked at her watch, Natalie didn''t mean to leave, "I want to eat out."


    "That''s good." Ryan took the intercom on one side, "I''ll send it up."


    There are many types of dinners, but the amount is not big. Natalie herself has limited appetite, she just ate a bit of steak and put down the knife and fork.


    Since the end of the promotion of "The Hunger Games", she has been busy in the post-production of "127" for more than a month. Naturally, the work pressure is a little bit heavy. Therefore, Ryan rarely talks about this aspect, but keeps talking about the circle. Gossip funny things to make her happy and let her relax completely.


    "You know, Nat."


    Soon, Ryan also put down his knife and fork, "The failure of "Top Secret Flight" did not hit David Ellison. I got news that he pulled $60 million in funds from Larry Ellison. I plan to invest in air combat movies again."


    "Do you think he will fail?" Natalie asked, holding the coffee cup.


    "Failure is inevitable." Ryan nodded his head. "This place of David Ellison has not yet figured out what Hollywood movies are all about. The money invested now is simply paying tuition. "


    "anything else?"


    Hearing Natalie¡¯s questioning, Ryan laughed, ¡°He is rampaging Hollywood with a large sum of money, completely breaking the inherent rules.


    "You don''t like him?" Natalie understood Ryan''s mind naturally, "right?"


    "It''s not just me." Ryan spread his hands, pretending to say helplessly, "I believe that few Hollywood studios would like to break the rules got Disney, he not only stood The top of Hollywood has also become the defender of the inherent order.


    For example, DreamWorks, if you talk about friendship alone, he has a good relationship with Steven Spielberg and Jeff Katzenberg, but he still chooses to join the alliance of the six major companies and relentlessly suppress DreamWorks. Those with vested interests will never easily give up their cakes to share with others.


    Today''s DreamWorks has been in a quagmire. As the difficulties encountered, the contradictions between the Big Three became more prominent. "Escape from the Clone Island" finally only gained more than 35 million US dollars in North America, causing huge losses. Let DreamWorks, which is already heavily in debt, unburdened.


    DreamWorks now has only two ways to go, selling or bankruptcy and reorganization.


    But the latter needs to raise large sums of money to revitalize the stagnant business. Now how many people are willing to invest in DreamWorks?


    It is said that Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox both intend to take over the film and television business of DreamWorks, and they have also tried to contact each other, but they don''t know which DreamWorks will ultimately commit to. r1152()

 Chapter 685： About the preparations for Transformers

    No matter where you are, people will feel pressure. Hollywood is always surrounded by the spotlight. The celebrities who seem to be beautiful are actually facing pressure that ordinary people can''t imagine. Appropriate venting channels and methods are undoubtedly crucial. Important, otherwise it is very likely to go astray.


    The most primitive exercise between men and women is definitely a good way to relieve pressure. After spending a weekend at sea with Ryan, Natalie with a relaxed and confident smile re-invested in the later work of "127 Hours" .


    Returning to Disney, Ryan also welcomed an important visitor, Michael Bay, the director of "Transformers".


    Disney has signed a formal director contract with Bombshell. The entire team that has worked with him from the time of "Jedi Men" will join the "Transformers" crew. This group of people is definitely Hollywood''s best at creating explosions and shooting wealthy people. A group of people with visual impact lens.


    The crew has just begun preparations, and Michael Bay and related personnel have developed a very detailed plan.


    "Two weeks ago, I went to visit Hasbro''s base in Rhode Island." Sitting across from the desk, Michael Bay briefly introduced the current preparations. "Frankly speaking, Ryan, I am not a "Transformers" fans, but those toys are really impressive. I talked with Hasbro''s Brian Goldner a few times and got a lot of results."


    "Can you talk about it?" Ryan just flipped through the plan and put it aside for the time being.


    As a group of people born in the early 1980s, the "Transformers" series carries too many beautiful memories for him. He never denies that he is also a fan of the "Transformers" live-action movie, even if this is criticized by countless film critics. Brainless popcorn.


    "First of all, the robots." Michael Bay took the coffee from the secretary, thanked him, and continued, "They shouldn''t be called robots, but mechanical lifeforms, so they are square, cumbersome and sturdy robots. Not suitable for Transformers."


    Seeing Ryan nodded slightly, Michael Bay seemed to be more confident, "In the setting, they are alien beings with high intelligence like human beings, so the body should be like intelligent life, full of curves and physical beauty. ."


    Ryan agrees with Michael Bay¡¯s point of view. This is not only a science fiction film, but also a high-level alien life form. If it is too big and bulky, it¡¯s a joke, just like people who don¡¯t understand the original book of The Lord of the Rings. Complaining that the wizard Gandalf in the movie is always as ridiculous as close hand-to-hand combat.


    "I communicated with the special effects team of Industrial Light and Magic." Michael Bay continued. "We will streamline the design of the main King Kong characters including Optimus Prime and Megatron. Industrial Light and Magic gave me a pair. For the rough design sketch, we will make the model at the same scale, in which Optimus Prime may use tens of thousands of parts."


    In this way, in a deformation process, thousands of components of the robot will move at the same time, thus avoiding the phenomenon that the volume and mass of Transformers can be arbitrarily reduced and enlarged in Transformers cartoons, which is difficult to explain with daily physics. .


    The unique Transformers shape can also highlight their fundamental characteristics from Cybertron.


    Michael Bay did not stay for long, but exchanged opinions with Ryan on some key issues. After leaving the plan, he soon left the Disney headquarters.


    The plan he brought is not only about the filming, but also the entire preliminary plan of the "Autobot" studio established by Disney, which involves preparation, publicity, shooting, distribution, cooperation, and many other links.


    For example, in terms of publicity, the studio has been in contact with more than 200 companies in 78 countries, and the pre-sale work has started early.


    In order to gain close interaction with the Transformers fan world in the United States, Disney intends to hold an "Optimus Prime Line Contest" from next month. Fans of this series will be asked to write lines for Optimus Prime in the movie, and the winner will be The written lines will appear in the video.


    Marvel Comics has obtained the comic copyright of "Transformers". Some time before the film is released, four-volume comic prequels of the Transformers live-action movies will be published one after another. The story mainly reflects the story of the Hornet from Cybertron to the modern earth. , Megatron came to the earth to find the source of fire and the origin of the seventh defense zone.


    In addition, there are a series of live-action movie story books for young children. These books will be published one after another before the live-action movie is released to create a rich prequel background for the story of the live-action movie.


    Behind a truly successful movie, there will never be a huge and complicated publicity and marketing work.


    Disney is even ready for subtitle propaganda slogans like-their war, our world -.


    The shooting of this film will inevitably involve many US military and war scenes. The Autobot studio also contacted the Pentagon and received a positive response from the US Department of Defense. This has a lot to do with Michael Bay itself.


    From the last century''s "Break into Death Island", Bangbei has established a very pleasant cooperative relationship with the Pentagon. If you want to use the power of the army to shoot, it takes almost no effort from Disney.


    When Michael Bay once again invited the Pentagon to provide support for the filming of the film, the other party not only accepted it, but also came up with his own plan.


    According to the preliminary plan, the real Holloman, Cortland and Edwards Air Force Bases and the Pentagon will appear in the film. The Ministry of Defense even promised to assist the crew in filming free of charge, lending high-end weapons that are usually rare, from cv-- 2 Tilting rotor aircraft to c-130 "Hercules" transport aircraft, c-17 "Global Master" transport aircraft and f-22 "Raptor", all in this ranks.


    Although receiving sponsorship from the Department of Defense and listening to their opinions in some respects, the savings amounted to tens of millions of dollars, and the showcasing of the brave and powerful U.S. soldiers against the Decepticon robots is also something that North American audiences love to see, Ryan Neither Disney will oppose this plan.


    What''s more, according to Ryan''s idea, as long as this series can make money, it will continue to shoot even if it is bad. It is necessary to have a good relationship with the Pentagon. After all, in order to promote the US weapons and military, they will pay for many aspects of the film.


    In North America, including the White House, Congress, Department of Defense, CIA, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and even the county police departments of famous cities, there are special offices that deal with Hollywood affairs. They use the power of these departments to shoot movies. tradition of.


    The most typical example is the "Speed ??of Life", which is almost a Los Angeles police promo. It was fully assisted by the Los Angeles County Police Department. Not only did it dispatch a real swat team to assist in the filming, but also the police cars and helicopters used by the crew. Police equipment is basically sponsored free of charge.


    Although the public sector here is not much different from that on the other side of the Pacific, it is much smarter in the means of shaping its own image.


    Just like film propaganda, this is an era of highly free and open information. The simple, direct and even crude propaganda methods of the past will only have counterproductive effects.


    Ryan will not overly rely on any kind of publicity method. The films promoted by him will formulate a comprehensive publicity plan before the filming. The whole publicity process is much longer than the preparation and shooting time of the film, especially in the film Before and after the release, huge publicity expenses will be invested to create a huge momentum for the film.


    This work is most evident in "The Hunger Games". This series was first given to Natalie as a simple script, and later turned into an outline and handed over to Susan Collins, Disney and "Alien" Publishing House Start joint development and promotion work.


    The various promotions and advertisements of novels have not been interrupted. Even if it is the champion of the bestseller list in the United States, Disney has not relaxed. When the movie plan appeared, newspapers, magazines, radio, television, online media and even outdoor News about "The Hunger Games" can be seen everywhere on billboards.


    When Disney, a leading media group in the world, mobilizes its resources to fully promote a series of works with quality assurance and Ryan''s name, the influence it can have is huge.


    The success of this series is not only the film, the success of the film is also the result of a comprehensive combination of many aspects.


    After entering September, "The Hunger Games" took the lead in downgrades from North America, and its North American box office finally stopped at an amazing $430.55 million in the industry, almost booking this year''s North American box office champion.


    "We don''t understand why "The Hunger Games" is so popular in North America."


    This movie has long been off the shelf from across the Pacific It only got a poor box office of less than 40 million RMB. The professional film media on the opposite side is very strange, "This is a standard without any characteristics at all. bad movie!"


    Their words are not unreasonable. The response of "The Hunger Games" in non-English speaking areas is very general. The overseas box office has grown slowly. After the global box office has exceeded 670 million US dollars, the follow-up accumulation can only rely on the long screening time, and finally can it exceed 7 No one can guarantee billions of dollars.


    At the same time, a very ordinary department head of Touchstone Pictures under Disney bought a series of copyrights for "Twilight Saga: Twilight" from a housewife after several negotiations and obtained it. The right of first refusal for subsequent works.


    Although some price has been paid, this series has not revealed any trend that can be popular. In general, it is still very worthwhile.


    After learning of this situation, Ryan set up a special team to promote "Twilight". Anyway, now the tomboy is still young, Disney has enough time to create this love to death vampire romance series. r1152

 Chapter 686： Paris fashion week

    After formulating a strategy to promote "Twilight" in advance, Ryan rushed to Paris. As early as the end of August, South Africa Diamonds came to France with ct''s fashion team to prepare for ct clothing during Paris Fashion Week. Catwalk matters.


    Regarding fashion, Ryan is far from being proficient, and specific matters can''t help much. What he does is to mobilize all his resources to build momentum for Charlize, from Disney¡¯s television network to such websites. , And then to resources such as money and contacts, there have long been dedicated personnel in charge of operations.


    Now that he is in his current position, it is not difficult for him to fully support a brand originally created by the Oscar queen.


    In fact, the fashion industry and the entertainment industry have many things in common. The glamorous coats cover up insider and under-the-counter transactions.


    For example, this time ct participated in New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week successively. Charlize didn''t seem to have much effort to get the chance to walk the show at the main venue, but Ryan''s people did enough work behind them.


    The top figures in the fashion world like Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld are just managers with a small amount of equity, and what really controls them is still the huge capital behind them.


    Fashion is always indispensable for publicity. Unless those fashion giants are stupid, they will miss an opportunity to have a good relationship with the owners of the media group.


    Although ct did not get the possibility of the opening exhibition, the time period arranged is not bad. It is located in the middle of Paris Fashion Week, and the venue is located in the Louvre''s No. 1 big tent.


    On the day of the catwalk, it almost became a sea of ??media joy, one after another Hollywood stars, almost made them break the shutter of the camera.


    Not to mention Leonardo DiCaprio, Drew Barrymore and other Hollywood first-line stars, there are five Oscar winners and actresses alone. Paris Fashion Week has never lacked stars, but when will they appear? After so many world-class stars gather together.


    When Ryan walked into the tent through the red carpet, even the dull reporter understood. With him, no matter how many Oscars and actresses will come, it is not surprising.


    Hollywood and the fashion circle have always been closely linked. After Ryan entered, even Tom Hanks, who usually didn''t pay much attention to style, could have a good chat with Karl Lagerfeld, Gwyneth Pa. Queens like Trow and Hilary Swank are even more sought after by the fashion circle.


    After spinning around in the crowd, Ryan walked up to Taylor who was talking to Anna Wintour.


    "Hi, Anna."


    "Hello, Ryan."


    The other party smiled brilliantly. Without the slightest feminine temperament, Ryan also maintained the necessary politeness, "May I know what you are talking about? It seems to have a common topic."


    "I intend to invite Miss Swift to be the cover character of "Vogue" next month." Anna Wintour expressed her praise, "Taylor, your style and street style are very good, I think you will become After Nicole and Sally, Hollywood''s fashion benchmark!"


    "Thank you!" Taylor replied with a polite smile, "I will let the agent contact you when I look back."


    Ryan understood it, it seemed that before he came over. The two women have reached an agreement.


    "Where is Charlie?"


    Looking at Anna Wintour who was going away, Ryan took Tyler and sat in the chair in the front row, "Why didn''t I see her?"


    "Stay with those models in the dressing room." Taylor waved to the direction of the door, waiting for Emma Watson not far away to walk here. Continued, "Charlie and Scarlett are in the dressing room, Charlie will be the finale with Adriana Lima."


    "Didn''t Charlie invite you to walk the show?" Emma Watson sat in the chair on the other side of Taylor.


    "I don''t want to make a fool of myself on the runway and become the headline of tomorrow''s newspaper." Tyler curled his lips with an impenetrable gesture. "Charlie has been a professional model, and I have not received model training."


    "Your recent street shots are indeed very beautiful." Emma Watson looked at Taylor, who was obviously taller than her, with some envy. "Height and long legs are an advantage. Mr. Lagerfeld said if not. You endorse ct''s clothing, Chanel will definitely sign an endorsement contract with you."


    "How much endorsement fee can they pay?" Taylor said indifferently.


    Since becoming the second largest shareholder of ct-despite being temporarily managed by Ryan due to age-Taylor has spared no effort to promote his own brand. Not to mention those public places, street photography alone has left countless impressive looks , She has been influenced by Nicole since she was a child, and has sufficient sensitivity to fashion.


    Of course, Emma Watson on the other side is not bad either.


    Since she was thirteen years old, she has become the spokesperson of the Chanel Girls series under the operation of the kk agency. Hermione Granger''s lethality is well known all over the world.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    "It''s been a long time, Tommy."


    When Tom Hanks walked over, Ryan stood up and gave him a hug, and Taylor on the other side also stretched out his hand, "Mr. Hanks."


    "Hey, little guy." Tom Hanks gently shook her hand, "Why don''t you call me Big Tom."


    "Because I''ve grown up." Taylor smiled mischievously. "Look, Tommy, I''m taller than you now."


    Everyone is old acquaintance and old friends. They sat down again with a smile. They were not as polite as they were with others, and the chat atmosphere was very relaxed.


    "The Da Vinci Code is finished?" Ryan remembered the uproar that had happened some time ago.


    "It''s done." Tom Hanks could roughly guess Ryan''s intentions, and said pretendingly, "The Japanese are too stingy."


    After Tom Hanks''s company won the right to adapt "The Da Vinci Code", it attracted investment from Sony Columbia, but the production, director and starring team composed of him and Ron Howard and others proposed to enjoy the film globally. The requirement of 40% of the box office...


    Of course, Sony Entertainment is not a fool, even if this agreement is based on the global box office of more than 500 million US dollars, they will still not agree.


    The see-saw negotiations between the two parties were definitely one of Hollywood''s biggest gossips in the past few months.


    The final agreement between the two sides was not announced to the outside world, and Ryan did not intend to snoop. After all, this belongs to the category of commercial secrets.


    Later, people greeted him again. Anyway, many people here accepted his invitation. Ryan also politely responded one by one. During the period, there were many people and things that could arouse his attention, such as Toby Ma Kui. Er and Nicole¡¯s styling consultant Jennifer Meyer have now come together, and the super **** male, like his previous life, successfully counterattack Bai Fumei.


    When the music sounded and countless flashes illuminate the already brightly-lit catwalk even brighter, the ct catwalk kicked off.


    Just like the catwalks of other brands, those in the front row are all celebrities, celebrities and celebrities in the fashion industry.


    In addition, the largest number of potential buyers are from all over the world. These people include both individual customers and representatives of department stores.


    With the prosperity of the feminist movement in the West in recent years, unisex style clothing has become popular, and simple and casual dressing methods have become more and more popular among women.


    As a brand that provides full clothing sponsorship for new female films like "The Hunger Games", ct''s fashion is also outstanding. While paying attention to simplicity and ability, it also pays attention to the hardness of lines, minimalist style design, and smooth tailoring. , The neat waist, crisp fabrics, and meticulous details create a neutral and classic style that will never be out of date. The handsome and free will be revealed in every gesture, highlighting the full personal aura.


    Of course, as women''s clothing, attention to clothing colors and emotions, and attention to the atmosphere and beauty of the body when walking are all essential elements.


    On the basis of keeping the bias towards neutrality, the use of rich decorative methods, such as raw edges, tassels, embroidery, lace, shirring, ruffles, bows, knots and floral decorations, etc., with gorgeous elements, light fabrics, and elegant colors , To express the unique sensitivity and temperament of women.


    Especially when Adriana Lima and Charlize Theron, who played at the finale, stepped onto the runway one after another, there was warm applause around them. Regardless of the follow-up development of CT, the catwalk was at least extremely successful.


    The subsequent development seems to prove all of this. Several department store buyers from Europe and the Far East have all contacted CT. If there is no major accident, in the next few years, Ryan will give full support. Next, ct''s clothing will soon spread to markets outside North America.


    Of course, in the era of information and eyeball economy, the development of any brand is indispensable with publicity and hype.


    To put it bluntly Creating a well-known clothing brand is essentially the same as holding up a Hollywood superstar.


    On the day when ct opened its first store in Paris, Charlize designed a men¡¯s jacket with a price tag of 9,000 euros. As soon as it was put on the shelf, it was stripped and taken to the checkout. It became one of the news that was hit by the fashion media .


    This is not what Ryan did. As an Oscar queen, Charlize still has a large number of supporters around the world.


    Just like the awards season in Hollywood, during Paris Fashion Week, this romantic city is full of parties, cocktail parties, red carpets and various catwalks. Ryan accompanied Charlize to participate in a few days. After watching the activities of Dior, Chanel and Versace brands, she was excited to win contracts with several department stores worth millions of euros.


    Originally, Ryan intended to accompany Charlize until the end of the fashion week, but a call from Nicole forced him to end the trip to France ahead of schedule and rushed back to Los Angeles with Taylor.


    "Nicole is going to be a mother?"


    On the plane back home, Taylor still couldn''t believe it. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 687： I believe in Catholicism

    The spacious living room was spotlessly clean, and soothing music filled every corner. The hostess of the villa sat on the large single sofa with a light and sweet smile on her mouth, showing that she was in a very good mood at the moment. It was a pale face, and it was as warm as the red hydrangea blooming in the back garden at this moment.


    "Nicole."


    Sitting on another sofa next to Nicole, Taylor blinked his curious big blue eyes, "Are you really going to be a mother?"


    "Yeah, dear." Nicole put a hand on her belly unknowingly, and slowly turned her head to look at Ryan, "I''m sorry, I called you back from Paris."


    Although she said that, she didn''t mean to apologize at all.


    Ryan moved a chair, leaned close to her, and asked, "How long has it been, and when did you find it?"


    "Yesterday, I called you as soon as I confirmed it." Nicole raised an eyebrow at him, "It''s almost a month."


    "You..." Nicole''s eyebrows finally wrinkled together, "It seems different from what I expected."


    "How come?" Ryan leaned over and held up that glamorous face, and kissed **** his forehead, "I am very happy and very excited."


    "I can prove this." Taylor''s voice sounded in time, "When he flew back, this guy Ryan was sitting in the front cabin of the plane, excitedly refusing to go to rest."


    "Really?" Nicole squinted at him.


    "Of course it is true." Ryan stretched out his hands. "Should I jump up, run outside the villa, and shout to the sky that I am going to be a father, to prove that I am happy and excited?"


    Nicole laughed immediately. She knew that if the person in front of her did that, it wouldn''t be Ryan.


    "I''m really, very happy." Ryan took Nicole''s hand. Slowly pulled her up and hugged her hard, "Honey. This is the best news I''ve heard this year."


    "Ryan!" Nicole reminded him and pushed him aside. "You tried too hard!"


    "Sorry!" He had no experience in this area, so he stepped back and sat on the couch in Nicole''s accusing eyes, "I will pay attention later."


    "Poor Ryan." Taylor just murmured, and Nicole''s voice rang to her again, "And you, Alison, you are not allowed to play mischief with me in the future."


    "I understand!" Taylor nodded solemnly. "For my future sister..."


    "Ah, that''s not right." The little guy''s raised brow furrowed into a nice knot, "I should be an aunt in the future..."


    Years of wish finally have to be tasted, Nicole''s mood can be imagined, for this child, how much effort and experiment she made, also for this child, she did not hesitate to throw away all the work.


    "I plan to hand over the production of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" to Tina Fey."


    After talking about some trivial matters in life, Nicole turned the topic to work, and she has decided to temporarily give up her career. "My directorships at Paramount Pictures, Blizzard Entertainment, and Disney will be handed over to you first, as well as the studio. I need to find someone to take over temporarily."


    "Can you think about me?" Taylor suddenly stretched out his head and leaned in front of Nicole, but was pushed back by her lightly nodding his forehead, "Alison, do you have so much time and energy?"


    "It''s not true." The girl''s face fell uncontrollably. "Although there is no record release this year, there are still many announcements."


    "Call Kate." Ryan is talking about Kate Blanchett. In addition to filming, she also runs several theaters in Sydney with her husband. "Isn''t there some of her shares in it. Let her take charge for the time being." All right."


    In fact, Ryan wanted to say that he should just disband. In addition to making a little money in "Paddington Bear", Nicole''s studio was originally to maintain a balance of payments.


    but. Such remarks are certainly not suitable to be said to a pregnant woman.


    After talking about work, Nicole again began to explain what Ryan must pay attention to, from daily diet to sleeping habits to computer use, etc., all instructed again, and even warned Ryan that if he couldn''t do this, She would move to Lanai or Australia on her own.


    She waited for so many years before she finally got pregnant. You can imagine how important it is.


    "Ruined."


    While Nicole went to the locker room to change clothes, Taylor approached Ryan, "We all became second-class citizens in Nicole''s heart."


    "Naughty!" Ryan flicked on her head.


    This is a very normal thing, and it is also human nature and instinct. After a woman becomes pregnant, the first thing she thinks of is definitely the gestating life.


    Ryan and Tyler knew very well that those words were just jokes between each other.


    In just a few days, Nicole quickly completed the change. Not only did she hire an experienced health nurse, she also followed the instructions of the family doctor, whether it was daily diet or living habits, she made appropriate decisions. Adjustments, those things that used to occasionally adjust the atmosphere of love, were even rushed into the sewer by her.


    "I thought about it."


    Under the quiet night sky, Nicole was lying on Ryan, looking at the bright starry sky through the skylight of the bedroom, "If I can''t get pregnant in two years, I will adopt a few children, Alison has grown up. , The time to be with us will become less and less in the future."


    Although he had never thought about it this way, Ryan knew that in wealthy families in the West, the adoption of children couldn''t be more normal. It seemed that Nicole and Charlize had adopted children or adopted daughters in their previous lives.


    "I can..." Ryan''s right hand slowly fell to the top of Nicole''s abdomen, "Can you touch it?"


    "Okay." After Nicole issued a warning look, she firmly grasped his hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen, "Don''t move!"


    It was only a month, and Nicole''s lower abdomen was as smooth as a mirror as before, and the position where Ryan''s palm touched was no different except for the delicate piece.


    "Dear."


    After just staying for a few short seconds, Nicole took his hand aside, "Do you want to be a son or a daughter?"


    Ryan couldn''t help but have the urge to cover his forehead. Why do women always like to ask this question after pregnancy?


    "Whether it''s a daughter or a son." Of course he used words that most people would use, "I like them all."


    "That''s right!" Nicole seemed to think of other aspects, "Tomorrow I will find lawyer Wilson Jr. to set up a trust fund."


    "It''s too early now?"


    Although the establishment of trust funds for their offspring is a common method used by wealthy and celebrities in North America, it is not too late to wait after birth. "We can wait for a while."


    After persuading Nicole a few words, she temporarily dismissed the idea of ??establishing a trust fund. The two chatted softly for a short time. Her beautiful light blue eyes slowly closed, and the corners of her mouth were still hanging in her sleep. A bit of a smile.


    Covered Nicole with a goose down quilt and kissed her lightly on her forehead. Ryan turned over and closed his eyes.


    Having been in this world for more than 20 years, he finally ushered in his offspring. Even though he has been calm on the surface, he is still very happy.


    Slowly opened his eyes, he raised his head and looked at the skylight. The sky was bright and calm. Only the twinkling stars were blinking. Maybe there was an unknown existence on it, or maybe Nicole could not be conceived for so many years, and he never believed in that. Does the unknown exist?


    Admiring the unknown existence, caring for the relatives around him, and protecting his own interests, he asked himself that he did a good job in the latter two, but he did not care much about the first one.


    In fact, now that he has reached the point where it is now, real interests are his starting point for considering most issues.


    Thinking of these messy things, Ryan also fell asleep. In his sleep, he seemed to return to more than ten years ago, when he first met Nicole on the Avenue of Stars...


    In a daze, Ryan turned over and touched his side as he used to. The goose down quilt over there was empty, and he immediately woke up.


    Nicole and the cotton pajamas hanging on the side were gone, and the light was faintly shining through the balcony windows.


    Putting on the slippers, Ryan put on a pajama, went to the balcony and opened the glass door. Nicole was sitting on the wicker chair and looking into the distance under a blanket. She seemed a little dazed, but didn''t even notice him walking over.


    "Hey, dear." Ryan squeezed her shoulder. "It''s only three o''clock in the morning, why are you getting up?"


    "Nothing." Nicole glanced at him and pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down and talk to me."


    It''s only September, and the night is not too cold, Ryan stuffed Nicole''s bare feet into the blanket, and then sat next to her.


    Ryan looked at her curiously. It seemed that after a nap, all of Nicole''s excitement disappeared, and her face became sickly pale.


    "What happened?" Seeing Nicole not speaking, Ryan had to speak first.


    "Ryan, UU reading I remember you accompanied me to church before."


    Judging from the changing shape of the blanket, Nicole''s hand seems to be placed on her lower abdomen again, "Although I have never been a devout believer, I believe in Catholicism."


    "I know." Ryan nodded subconsciously.


    Among his public information, he is nominally a believer of Catholicism, but in fact, he does not even know the basic doctrines of Catholicism, and he is definitely a veritable pseudo-believer.


    This is normal. Atheists are a big taboo in the West. Except for a few people whose heads are flooded, even if they are dissatisfied with those old guys in the sky, most people will still choose a religion.


    After living together for so many years, Nicole also understood Ryan''s thoughts on this aspect. After taking a cold look at him, she stood up and said, "Forget it, as if I haven''t said these things, I''m going to sleep."


    After speaking, he threw the blanket over and walked into the bedroom first.


    What am I doing wrong? Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head a little, saying that a woman would be moody after pregnancy. Could it be the beginning? (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 688： Expand industrial layout

    Nicole can temporarily throw away work and rest, but Ryan can¡¯t. Disney is entering a stage of rapid development. As an excellent professional manager, Robert Iger has never forgotten to expand Disney¡¯s territory, not to mention that he is also a larger Disney company. One of his personal shareholders, this is also closely related to his interests.


    In recent years, major Hollywood film companies have replaced their CEOs. In the past, managers with content production experience like Ron Meyer are no longer popular. Instead, a group of managers such as Robert Iger have been replaced. People who have no actual film production experience, but are extremely good at handling interpersonal relationships and marketing promotion.


    In Hollywood, content manufacturers are always at the bottom of the publisher. Labels with North American and even global distribution capabilities are at the top of the Hollywood food chain. Especially after entering the new century, the so-called six major manufacturers, except Disney itself, have become Except for media groups, all others are acquired by media companies, which further expands their advantages in distribution.


    Since decades ago, Hollywood has been a game of giants, and today is no exception.


    Among the traditional six major companies, now only Disney maintains high production and high investment in films, and rarely accepts foreign investment such as private equity film funds, and the division of labor at the top is quite clear. Ryan is in charge of content production. , Dick Cook and Robert Iger are responsible for daily work such as marketing and promotion.


    The former Ryan is one of the most basic members of the film industry. He knows that the future entertainment distribution will become more and more fragmented. An executive with a keen sense of the changing market will be responsible for the company''s promotion and expansion. This is very important. , So that Disney can quickly respond and reposition its content investment strategy.


    This may not mean that there will be better movies, but it must mean that there will be more savvy businesses.


    "Robert knows how to expand Disney''s horizons and look for potential resources for new entertainment businesses outside and in the company."


    This is what Ryan once said to Nicole. Perhaps he started using the other party more because of the factors he understood in his previous life, and it was also a helpless move at that time. But Robert Iger''s ability is indeed beyond doubt.


    He has made outstanding achievements in promoting Disney''s copyrighted works to offline platforms, and even shortened the window period for Disney films from the theater to enter the home to the shortest four months currently recognized!


    Beginning in 2002, non-theatre revenues accounted for more than 70% of total film revenues in Disney¡¯s films. Among them, the high-quality movies brought by Ryan were the key, while Robert Iger¡¯s original work at Disney On this basis, it further strengthened the vertically integrated industrial chain of content production, online and offline distribution, and peripheral channels, which also played an important role.


    Those movies made by Ryan during the Jenkins film industry. In the later stage, it can only rely on a simple model of copyright transfer fees plus sales commissions to achieve extensive profits, but Disney¡¯s own capabilities can magnify these revenues to the limit.


    The film industry is undergoing changes, and the traditional model will definitely be gradually eliminated.


    Most typically, after major film companies became part of a media group, creative geniuses rarely appeared among the top executives, and their attitudes towards brokerage companies were tougher, such as caa.


    Since the end of the 1990s. It is difficult for caa''s agents to rush into the high-level offices of the film company as in the past, and the people they deal with are gradually replaced by some lower-level employees of the film company, and their bundled sales strategy is even more difficult.


    Even caa''s agent occupies more than half of Hollywood''s market. In fact, in front of the media group, it is simply not enough.


    The times have changed, and business thinking and business methods will definitely change accordingly.


    Just like Disney, in addition to securing its inherent advantages, it has been working hard to expand to the Internet. And the pace of expansion has never stopped.


    It is now the largest online video site in the United States and even the entire world. The impact of this industry on the media industry has been evident in the past year. Although the balance of payments was barely achieved in the first half of this year, countless people are optimistic about its future and potential.


    The online video of movies is a future that most Hollywood management can see, and Disney is of course no exception.


    Just this month, Disney invested 35 million U.S. dollars to jointly establish another online video website hulu with Twentieth Century Fox. This website is not the same as its business policy, and its main goal is to develop potential paying users. .


    This is just another beginning of Disney¡¯s deployment on the end after Facebook and Twitter. Also this month, Disney expanded Ryan¡¯s personal website into a Disney-Ryan family online channel. The goal of this website is now. The main body of the network-teenagers!


    With Marvel Comics, Jenkins Pictures and Pixar Studios completely digested, Disney once again embarked on the path of expansion.


    Subsequently, under the impetus of Ryan, Disney issued a bona fide acquisition application to Netflix.


    The latter is an online movie rental provider that can provide DVDs of many movies, and allows customers to quickly and conveniently select movies and deliver them for free.


    As early as a few years ago, Netflix was the target of Scott Swift''s investment, and Ryan''s foundation has always held 5% of the shares.


    This website currently has millions of subscribers. In recent years, the speed of development has not been particularly fast. Last year¡¯s annual profit was only 11.9 million U.S. dollars, but this is not a problem of website management. They are mainly trapped by copyright. The content and the channels opened up are nothing but castles in the air.


    Disney lacks the most content, and as a loose alliance of interests, it is not too difficult to obtain licenses for outstanding films from the film libraries of companies such as Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox.


    In order to complete the acquisition, Disney offered $1.45 billion to buy it at a premium of 5% over the market value of Netflix.


    Netflix¡¯s management has not responded publicly, but from internal news, many shareholders of the other company intend to sell their shares for cash. The final obstacle must be the price.


    What Ryan is most worried about is not the shareholders of Netflix, but other companies. If a new company joins the acquisition, a goodwill acquisition will inevitably become a malicious bid.


    Fortunately, after a long wait, news came from Netflix that it was possible to negotiate, and the rest was waiting for the result of the long negotiation.


    For acquisitions of this scale, Disney does not need to use liquidity or financing at all, but reserves are sufficient.


    Netflix is ??just one of Disney''s goals. For Disney, the most basic and fundamental business is their biggest goal.


    Whether it is Disney''s management or Disney employees, they have always placed themselves in the position of the world''s animation hegemon.


    So, when Robert Iger found Ryan to discuss the next acquisition target, he was a little surprised and returned to normal.


    "Robert, what do you mean..." Ryan looked at Robert Iger sitting across from him seriously, "Shall we take down DreamWorks Animation Studio?"


    "Yes." Robert Iger said equally seriously, "I have discussed with Cook, and this is completely feasible."


    In terms of strength alone, it is only a trivial matter that Disney swallowed DreamWorks Animation Studios. The latter¡¯s market value was less than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. Even the highest market value in the previous life was only about 2 billion U.S. dollars. This little money is right for Disney. It''s not a big deal at all, even Ryan can solve it by himself if financing.


    "Ryan, although we have Pixar Studios and Disney Animation Headquarters." Robert Iger continued, "These two subsidiaries have extremely low output and implement a boutique strategy. The DreamWorks Animation Studios¡¯ philosophy is just the opposite. They once Three to five cartoons can be produced. Although there are products that failed such as "Shark''s Story", for Disney, as long as there is a quarter of the chance of success, it is enough for us to achieve profit through operating various channels. "


    Ryan, as the largest shareholder of DreamWorks Animation Studios, naturally knows what Robert Iger is saying is the truth. Under the auspices of Jeff Katzenberg, DreamWorks Animation has embarked on the same development path as the previous life. To win with the tactics of Pianhai, in addition to the successful "Shrek" and "Madagascar" in recent years, they have also produced terrible box office works, but they are still profitable every year, although the profit is not too high.


    "Robert, have you ever considered Jeffrey Katzenberg." Ryan reminded him not to forget that the other party was the president and creative director of Disney''s animation department. It was in 1994. . "Robert Iger understands the grievances at the beginning. "It was Michael Eisner who drove out Jerefo, not to mention..."


    He didn''t say anything later, but Ryan understood that as long as there were enough benefits, this little grudge was nothing at all.


    "We need a competitive opponent."


    Blue Sky Studios has only the signature "Ice Age", and it does not have the strength to compete with Pixar and Disney Animation. "Competition can keep Pixar and Disney Animation Department vigorous, and we also need an opponent to deal with the federal government''s monopoly. bill."


    This is not the time when the Universal and Warner Animation Departments will develop in the future. Both are still in the groping stage. Not to mention whether a monopoly will be established. The related investigations alone will cause headaches. In addition, countless past experiences have proved that once they are lost Competitors, the consequences are terrible.


    "I agree to this acquisition in principle, but not now." Ryan finally said, "Robert, you can buy shares of DreamWorks Animation Studios to deal with future acquisitions." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 689： Low interest loan

    Just like AMD is to Intel, Pepsi to Coca-Cola, Apple and Oracle to Microsoft, if a company lacks a competitive target behind it, it will inevitably slow down its pace of development and even gradually disintegrate itself from the inside.


    Just as an external war is the best way to resolve internal conflicts, it is not bad for Disney to have enemies or competitors from the outside. Before the animation departments of other companies develop, Ryan will not let Disney swallow DreamWorks Animation Studios. After all, it is the only opponent that can barely compete with Pixar Studios.


    Even if it¡¯s because after DreamWorks Animation Studios went public, his shares were diluted to 35%, but he is still the largest shareholder. The relationship between the Big Three of DreamWorks is close to breaking down. If he wants to, overthrow Jie Revel Katzenberg is not too difficult.


    What''s more, if Disney really intends to acquire, few of the minority shareholders of DreamWorks may be able to resist Disney''s bid.


    To put it bluntly, Ryan is like a nail nailed into DreamWorks Animation, and the DreamWorks Animation Studio in this world is like the fat on Disney''s mouth.


    It is a pity that the Blue Sky Studio he sold to 20th Century Fox was not as effective as his previous life. If the other party''s development situation is a little better, it can pose some threats to Pixar Studio, Ryan will not let Robert Iger temporarily release it. Slow acquisition.


    In fact, since the end of "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith", Ryan''s people have been staring at San Francisco. George Lucas claimed to retire, but there is no sign of retirement. According to Luca As long as the other shareholders retire, they will almost certainly sell Lucasfilm as a package.


    Natalie asked Ryan if he was interested in Lucasfilm, and his answer was, "Because Disney was still digesting the three Jenkinsfilm companies at that time, it was definitely not capable of continuing to expand and annex, but now it is different. .


    May I ask who would not be interested in Lucasfilm, which owns the rights to the Star Wars series and the Raiders of the Lost Ark series?


    You know, there is also a department that ranks absolutely No. 1 in Hollywood and even in the world-Industrial Light and Magic!


    In the future, whether it is a surprise superhero movie or a new Disney fairy tale movie, special effects production is one of the most basic prerequisites.


    Of course, all this is in a hurry, and George Lucas has not yet revealed the intention of selling the company.


    In addition to Disney¡¯s affairs, Ryan once again received an invitation from Shanghai, who invited him to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for Shanghai Disneyland in a few months¡¯ time. After nearly a year of design and demolition work, the park will soon be transferred to The formal construction phase.


    Although this project claims to have an investment of US$5.5 billion, according to Disney''s internal planning, only 22.5 billion RMB can be used to complete all the work. As for the supporting projects, naturally all of them will be provided by Shanghai.


    According to the plan of the government on the other side, the Shanghai Disney project and the surrounding area of ??about 10 square miles will be the Shanghai International Tourism Resort. In the future, it will be built as a landmark tourist destination with demonstration and radiation effects.


    This project will not occupy any funds from Disney. The Shanghai Major Project Management Committee and the four major state-owned banks signed an agreement with Disney Asia in June to provide 12.9 billion RMB for the Shanghai Disney project. Long-term low-interest loans, and follow-up loans will gradually be in place during the construction process.


    Seeing the low-interest loans that make countless companies on the other side of the Pacific jealous, Ryan is considering whether to continue to borrow from China when funds are needed in the future?


    However, this is just a fantasy. If the project is not built in China, such a loan is impossible.


    Just as the elites in this country are mostly concentrated in business, the opposite bureaucratic class is definitely one of the most savvy groups in the world, and they will definitely not do things without interest.


    "So you don''t plan to go there anymore?"


    Sitting on a bench by the Malibu beach, Nicole looked at the sea turning over in front of the waves and asked Ryan next to him, "Disney has a major interest over there."


    "I''m going to let Cook Dick or Robert Egger go there." Ryan put the peeled macadamia nuts in Nicole''s hands. "You know, their schedules are also very tight, and I have to see for details. Time schedule."


    "Kate and the others should be here soon." Nicole grabbed the nuts in her hands, didn''t mean to eat, stood up and walked towards the rear villa area, "Let''s go back."


    Two days ago, Nicole moved out of Beverly Hills and temporarily settled her home in the Malibu Beach Scenic Area with better scenery and air, which is the villa used to film "Iron Man".


    The villa has been redecorated a long time ago, and it has a futuristic sci-fi style. If it weren''t for the lack of black technology equipment, it would be like entering a sci-fi movie.


    After consulting Nicole''s opinion, Ryan moved a recliner and placed it in front of the French window near the sea, and found a wicker chair to sit with Nicole.


    "Honey, didn''t you eat it?" Seeing Nicole pinching the nut between her fingers, Ryan reached out and took it back, threw it into her mouth, and peeled another one for her. "It doesn''t suit the taste?"


    "This is a high-calorie food." Nicole frowned and stared at the nuts that Ryan brought to her mouth, and finally opened her mouth. After chewing and swallowing, she said, "It is easy to accumulate fat and gain weight."


    "Hey, this is a must-have snack prescribed by a health nurse." Ryan gently squeezed her tall nose, "Macadamia nuts are rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin b1, b2 and amino acids, and they contain Unsaturated amino acids, the first nutrient required for brain development, are conducive to fetal brain development."


    Listening to Ryan''s words like an endorsement, Nicole gradually showed a smile. She could feel Ryan''s care for herself and her children.


    Although after that night, I have another idea in my mind, but if it is really realized, I am afraid it will evolve into another war. Are you really ready to go to war?


    The current physical condition does not allow her to do too much. After all, she has waited too long for the life in her belly, and everything will be done after this new life comes.


    The light blue eyes flickered, and after eating another macadamia nut that Ryan had fed, Nicole temporarily dissipated these thoughts.


    "These things need to be in moderation." Ryan threw the husks into the trash can and sealed the bag of macadamia nuts. The phone in the living room rang. After he took it, he said to Nicole, "Kate and Na Rice is here, I''ll go out and take a look."


    Before leaving, Ryan told the housekeeper on the other side, "Elsa, get black tea, coffee and fruit."


    The people who came were Naomi Watts and Cate Blanchett. After they heard that Nicole was pregnant, one hurriedly ended the post work of "King Kong", and the other flew directly from Sydney.


    "Congratulations, Nicole."


    The two of them hugged Nicole lightly, and then sat on the sofa in the center of the living room, "How does it feel to be a mother?"


    "Excellent."


    In the face of her girlfriend, Nicole did not hide her emotions, "I can''t wait to see him."


    "black tea?"


    Taking the tray brought by Elsa, Ryan put the fruit on the coffee table first, "Or coffee?"


    Pour black tea and coffee for the two, Ryan sat next to Nicole, and the topic was gradually dominated by Nicole and Cate Blanchett. Most of the content was parenting, with Nicole and Naomi Waugh. It''s different. Cate Blanchett had his first child a few years ago, and he must have a lot of experience in this area.


    "Nami." Ryan had no choice but to chat with Naomi Watts, "Is "King Kong" finished?"


    "It''s almost there." Naomi Watts put down her tea cup. "I heard Director Jackson say that Universal Pictures will probably hold a preview next month."


    "This is the first time that "King Kong" has been remade?" Cate Blanchett interjected and asked.


    "There have been many times." Ryan is not clear. Not only will Hollywood follow suit, but the remake is also a good way to make a profit. "But this time the investment is the largest. It is said that there is 210 million US dollars, and there is Peter this. Special effects lunatics will definitely make the most real King Kong."


    "Indeed it is."


    Among these people, Naomi Watts, who played the heroine, has seen the sample, "Director Andy Serkins and Jackson, brought a motion capture no less than Gollum."


    "So." Cate Blanchett said, squeezing his chin, "I should let the theater join the screening of "King Kong"."


    "Honey!" Nicole picked up a tangerine and gave it to Blanchett. "Kate, how are you thinking about what I just said."


    "No problem, leave it to me for now."


    Blanchett put the oranges back in the fruit tray, "Don''t worry, Nicole I won''t let the studio go bankrupt."


    "God." Nicole''s face was covered with black lines. "Except for the big investment in "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", the studio has only one low-cost film cooperating with Touchstone Pictures. Bankruptcy, Kate, I will definitely go to Sydney to settle accounts with you."


    Kidman Studio itself is an empty shell. The so-called escrow is nothing more than assisting the accounting firm and the shooting team to deal with some related matters, and the objects of the studio¡¯s cooperation are Miramax and Disney, and they are not needed. Too much energy.


    Cate Blanchett still runs several theaters in Sydney, and the situation is not too good. She came here, besides meeting Nicole, she also wanted to seek Ryan¡¯s support, hoping that Disney such as "The Lion King" and " For stage plays such as "Toy Story", her theater can be given priority.


    This is just a small matter. Ryan notified the relevant Disney personnel, and someone will naturally go to her to discuss the details of the cooperation.


    Compared to Cate Blanchett''s small request, Ryan''s next meeting with the other three media giants was much more solemn. r1152

 Chapter 690： 0 Go Save the World

    A white battery car ran over the green lawn and stopped by the rest area. Two elderly people in their seventies got out of the battery car one after another. After the other battery car Ryan was riding in stopped, they walked into the rest area. Area under the big sun umbrella.


    When Ryan and Time Warner¡¯s chairman of the board of directors Don Logan entered, the huge rest area was empty except for the table where Summer Redstone and Rupert Murdoch sat.


    Although the four groups will not have any affection when they compete, the atmosphere between the four actual controllers is generally considered to be very harmonious.


    In particular, the competition between Disney and the other three traditional media groups is far less fierce than between them.


    "In my opinion, this matter is not suitable for us to come forward."


    After sitting down, Ryan continued the topic, "The government across the ocean is very wary of the North American media and will never allow us to get involved in the mainstream media industry over there."


    His gaze turned to Murdoch, "Presumably Rupert understands this."


    There was no sarcasm in this remark. Ryan just explained the facts plainly. The matters they discussed were related to the vital interests of the four groups.


    "We can''t have the right to speak." Rupert Murdoch said, "The other party can''t give us a part of the right to speak. Although I am very unwilling, News Corp.''s investment in the media is actually Basically it failed."


    "Warner is better." Don Logan laughed, "We only focus on the entertainment industry."


    "Ryan, I heard that you set up an investment fund over there?" Summer Redstone turned the topic back to Ryan, "How is the harvest?"


    "so so."


    Like investment banks like Goldman Sachs, several investment funds under Scott''s control have gradually extended their reach to China. The key investment projects must be the rapidly developing IT industry, "just participated in the investment of a few small IT companies."


    Like the it company in North America, there are really not many it companies that he can remember.


    "The copyright protection and openness of the Chinese entertainment and cultural market..." Ryan brought the deflection topic back to the right track. "Although it is directly related to our interests, I do not recommend launching a public opinion war. The government is always sensitive, and doing so easily makes them classify us as potential enemies."


    "I also agree with Ryan''s statement."


    Rupert Murdoch, who has met several times in China, said, "This involves ideology and propaganda image shaping, and there are barriers that cannot be crossed across the strait."


    "Although their market has opened up a bit after 2001." Don Logan said with his chest in his arms and his chin in the other. "But what we need is a more free and broad market, and they also need to pay attention to copyright protection. , Otherwise our income will always be limited."


    "The federal government is about to start a new round of WTO amendment negotiations." Summer Redstone reminded.


    This is also the main reason four people can sit together.


    "So, we will use the simplest and most direct method." Ryan tapped the armrest of the chair lightly, "promoting the federal government to strive for more benefits for us in the negotiation."


    With the promotion of capital, the federal government will certainly do so. Hollywood and the media industry are powerful tools for exporting American values. The media industry may be restricted by many countries, but Hollywood movies have broken most of the barriers in the world.


    Although the federal government may not be able to gain too many benefits for Hollywood in negotiations, it is a hundred times stronger than doing nothing. Even if the opposite government is still talking about copyright protection, it wants to gain from trade. The status of reciprocity must be changed.


    According to statistics, in the past few years, Disney¡¯s direct loss of copyright fees on the other side of the Pacific Ocean has reached 300 to 400 million U.S. dollars each year. The potential loss is impossible to calculate. Numerous products that have not been authorized by Ryan and Disney have flooded all corners of the Chinese market.


    Among them, there are not only Disney''s classic Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, but also emerging Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean.


    Even in recent years, Disney only relied on the "Harry Potter" series to take away one billion RMB of revenue from China, but this part of the money is simply insignificant compared to the revenue generated by piracy.


    Although in the last year of the previous life, including him, are beneficiaries of piracy, people who stand on different positions will have different demands for interests, and those who harm the interests of capital are their opponents.


    Therefore, since the Sino-US WTO negotiations at the turn of the century, Ryan has united many Hollywood companies and put pressure on the federal government in order to win more for the many Hollywood interest groups, including himself. Many benefits.


    After joining Disney, he has more powerful capital and interest demands. Re-revision of the China-US WTO Memorandum on Films and Cultural Products is definitely a must for the entire group and even the alliance of interests.


    In this regard, Viacom, Time Warner, News Corp and Walt Disney, where the film and television entertainment industry and derivatives account for a considerable share of the entire group¡¯s revenue, are definitely a natural community of interests.


    Just like Nicole said, Disney has major interests on the other side, and it is definitely not a wise choice to directly intervene. Is there any target in the United States that is more suitable for the culprit than the federal government?


    In his current position, Ryan is very clear that he represents not only his own interests, but the interests of an entire group.


    After discussing some measures to put pressure on the federal government with the other three, Ryan left the club one after another.


    For these large commercial groups including Disney, the opposite is definitely the largest potential market. Unlike Iran and North Korea, which cannot enter through legitimate channels, the opposite market will certainly occupy a very important part of Disney¡¯s future development strategy. status.


    Disney¡¯s audio-visual industry has taken the lead in making changes. The "Transformers" crew has contacted the heroine of "Cyan Red", and the other party has also accepted the invitation of Disney Pictures to play a supporting role in a live-action movie. After this news spread to China, it once caused quite a stir on the Internet.


    In this era, it is a great honor for actors on the other side of the Pacific to enter Hollywood.


    There is also the latest episode of the Harry Potter series "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", which has long been determined to be premiered globally in dozens of countries, including the other side. Disney has already put the Harry Potter crew Divided into two halves, in addition to the brigade who stayed in Britain and the United States, there will also be a group of people mainly composed of the actor who played Zhang Qiu, who will appear at the premiere in mainland China.


    Even the premiere location is located in a movie theater that will open in Shanghai on the Wanda Cinema Line.


    Ryan even considered taking one of the Gryffindor¡¯s Golden Triangle to the other side of the ocean, and later gave up this plan. It would be more pleasing to let Miss Zhao, who played Zhang Qiu, be the protagonist of the premiere. Audiences from mainland China.


    As for the future, if the revenue of the opposite market can approach the North American market, he doesn''t mind holding a Chinese actor as the protagonist of "Transformers" or other commercial masterpieces. I believe that as long as there are enough benefits, other companies will do the same.


    Of course, the premise is real interests, not other illusory things.


    Entering October, after the traditional off-season September adjustment, the North American film market has set off a new round of screenings. Disney Animation also launched the first 3D computer animation feature film "Four Eyes Day" without Pixar Studios'' participation. "Chicken", although the total investment of this animated feature film has reached 150 million US dollars, it has a distinct taste of experimentation. It is a typical test of the Disney animation headquarters.


    For the Disney animation department that has been in trouble for many years, it is not a simple matter to re-emerge, nor can it be easily solved by a script and Pixar production technology. This animation feature film shows the many new Disney animation departments. insufficient.


    "A fast-paced collection of popular culture."


    "This is the first Disney full cg cartoon without Pixar. It looks cheap, boring and distorted."


    "Even if the visual effects of the film are superb, it will be in vain if there is no witty soul, and it is almost the same as a TV cartoon."


    The audience''s comments on Disney-Ryan Family Online reflect many problems in the film, and these problems are most directly reflected in the box office.


    The number of theaters in the first week of the film reached more than 3,600, but the North American box office was only US$40.04 million. This is the worst animated film at the box office in the first week after Ryan joined Disney. Most importantly, the film¡¯s reputation among the main audience Poor, definitely not a successful work.


    "Four Eyes" is not a failure After three weeks at the North American box office, it also reached 100 million US dollars. However, due to the poor reputation of the audience, the sales of derivatives are not very good. Disney is in In this project, there will be a certain amount of loss, but this is the tuition fee that Disney Animation must pay for its re-emergence.


    Because this is just an experiment to test the waters, Ryan did not intervene too much in this movie, and this is not a traditional Disney animation. After a simple test of the water, John Lasseter assured the board that it was produced by Disney Animation. The works of will return to the most typical Disney animation style of the hand-painted era.


    The kind of cartoons that sing and dance, and are sweet and boring, are the hallmarks of Disney animation.


    Of course, as long as Disney animation has enough accumulation, after the social environment gradually changes, Lily can save the world.


    The **** movement in North America is getting bigger and bigger. For example, in areas where gays live in San Francisco and West Hollywood, there are often large-scale rainbow flag parades. However, **** organizations need to make new breakthroughs in propaganda and culture. The representative work is undoubtedly "Brokeback Mountain" which won the Palme d''Or in Cannes this year! r1152


    {:\"23130\",:\"1036\"};()

 Chapter 691： Great and sacred task

    "what?"


    Eyes left the sea outside the French windows, Ryan turned around and looked at Taylor sitting on the sofa, "Do you want to attend the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain" today, and you want me to go with you?"


    "Shh..."


    Tyler raised his index finger and pointed at the ceiling above his head, "Nicole is on a lunch break. Your high voice will wake her up."


    "Okay, Alison."


    With the soundproofing effect of the villa, even if the drum is beaten below, it may not affect Nicole sleeping above. Ryan simply walked over and sat opposite Taylor, and asked slightly curiously, "Drew just held a meeting for the film. A small premiere, what do you want to attend."


    "Because Drew invited me." Tyler took a peek at Ryan, and after seeing that it was no different from usual, he said plausibly, "When I was promoting the record, Drew attended my events several times, and now she invites Me, I can''t refuse it."


    "Also, this is an R-rated film." She continued, "I''m not yet seventeen years old, so I always need a guardian to accompany me."


    "Where is Scarlett?" Ryan asked casually.


    "That..." Taylor scratched his face. "She went to Europe."


    "Ryan." She blinked her royal blue eyes and asked with her mouth curled, "Could you have any opinion on homosexuality?"


    "My dear, you obviously forgot who the real curator of this movie is." Ryan took the phone and told Elsa to prepare a dress for him, before saying, "Also, the sentence on the movie poster... "


    "True love has nothing to do with gender." Taylor accepted with a smile, "This is what you said before, I know."


    "Then you should know that I will not discriminate against anyone."


    As soon as Ryan''s words fell, Taylor had already wrinkled his nose, "Well, my dear brother Ryan is a good man."


    "naughty!"


    As she walked over, Ryan flicked **** her forehead. "I''m going to change clothes."


    After speaking, he left the living room and walked into the dressing room on the side. In less than ten minutes, he changed his dress.


    After confessing a few words to Elsa, and leaving a note for Nicole who was resting upstairs, Ryan took Taylor to leave Malibu in the car and went straight to the Nokia Plaza indoors in Los Angeles.


    The number of theaters in "Brokeback Mountain" in the first week is only 50. This is because the film got Palme d''Or, otherwise this type of film will definitely be drawn in single-digit theaters. This is an inevitable law of the market and cannot be controlled by anyone.


    Therefore, the scale of the film''s premiere was extremely small. In addition to the film''s main creators, most of the attendees were relatives and friends of Drew Barrymore and Ang Lee.


    However, there are not many guests, but quite a lot of reporters and audiences.


    Especially around the theater at Nokia Plaza, a large number of people gathered, not only holding various slogans supporting homosexuality. Rainbow flags were also planted in every corner outside the theater, and many people even branded more radical and anti-discrimination, and seemed to regard the release of this film as a huge victory for the **** movement.


    California is one of the most open states in North America. There is also San Francisco, the home of gays and lesbians. However, in two consecutive referendums in recent years, all the **** marriage bills have been rejected.


    Such a gay-themed movie with Palme d''Or can evoke reactions among comrades.


    When Ryan appeared on the red carpet. It sparked a wave of shouts. Judging from the bursts of cheers on the scene, there must be many **** groups. He appeared here as a kind of support for them.


    However, Ryan had no interest in greeting anyone, and ignored the reporter''s request for an interview, and walked directly into the theater with Taylor in his arms.


    As for how the outsiders understand, just do them, anyway these guys are outrageous, they won''t write him as a homosexual.


    "Nate?"


    After entering the theater, Ryan saw Natalie standing next to Drew, and was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"


    "After coming back from Canada." Natalie beckoned to Tyler and said, looking at Drew next to her, "I don¡¯t have much work for the time being. I came over when I got a call from Drew. You know, Ryan, you give me this script. I have seen it, and I would love to see the effect after it is made into a movie."


    "Listen to Nat..." Drew answered with a smile, "Initially this was the script you prepared for her?"


    Shrugging, Ryan made a gesture that you understand, "Nate chose "127 Hours"."


    "Drew, let''s go in first." Tyler walked over and took Drew''s arm. "They must have something to say."


    "Then I won''t disturb you."


    Drew Barrymore turned his head and waved, and followed Tyler away.


    "Congratulations yet, Ryan."


    When there was no one around, Natalie spoke slowly, "I''m going to be a father!"


    Although knowing that this day will always come, she still feels as uncomfortable as a block of stone in her heart, and she couldn''t help but bring a thorn when she said it.


    "Hey, Nat." Ryan leaned closer, squeezing her hand firmly, "Keep calm, okay?"


    "Am I not calm?" Natalie''s words seemed flat.


    "Okay." Ryan didn''t want to be too entangled in this kind of issue at all. "Then let''s go in."


    After speaking, she took Natalie''s hand and walked into the projection hall of the theater.


    This kind of thing cannot be explained, and the explanation is not clear. Too much entanglement will only get more and more troublesome. Maybe having two more children will be a good solution?


    If it weren''t for Natalie''s two nails stuck in his palms, perhaps Ryan was still wandering around when the movie started.


    If you count the previous life, he has watched "Brokeback Mountain" for the fourth time. Although there have been many changes in the film''s subtleties, the main line and the overall plot have not changed.


    The film has a strong Lee An-style style, and the connotation of Western films is combined with the delicate expressions of the East. While telling the love of two men, it does not ignore all the victims of this relationship, except for Jack Triss. In addition to Te and Ennis Demar, there are also the two broken families.


    Even the sensationalism of the film is very subtle. When Ennis said "Jack, I swear" to the two shirts, it might make many people forget that this is a film about the love between two men. .


    Perhaps the pace of the film is too slow, but it is not boring, especially the majority of the audience who participated in the North American premiere are members of the **** community. When the film ended, they not only received warm applause, There were even some tears in his eyes.


    It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best **** movie ever, at least one of them.


    "Brokeback Mountain" is obviously not suitable for everyone. This is a typical niche film, and it will certainly not be popular with mainstream moviegoers. Most of the people who will pay for this film are **** or sympathetic to them. Groups.


    Of course, there are not a few people who resist. Utah, the most conservative state in the United States, prohibits "Brokeback Mountain" from being shown on theaters in that state.


    One week after the film was released, conservative and religious groups in the United States even mobilized more than 60,000 people to jointly boycott the film.


    However, these were all ignored by Flower Pictures. They used the so-called universal values-love can transcend cultural differences, and when love comes, there is no difference between love of the opposite **** and love of the same sex-and they began to make a big splash. To build momentum for the film, Ang Lee himself knows that Ryan and Drew are targeting next year¡¯s Oscars, and they are also actively cooperating with the film¡¯s public relations promotion.


    After all, he wants to stand up in Hollywood, this film is crucial.


    As for the film¡¯s box office, despite the high box office of single venues, the 50 theaters in the first week received more than $5 million, but the number of theaters is still not up.


    Firstly, most of the people who are willing to buy it are gay, and their number is relatively small; secondly, after all, this is a niche movie, which certainly cannot cater to the tastes of the mainstream market.


    In the film market where supply is far greater than demand, this is the most basic market law and cannot be changed by an actor or director.


    Although the film caused a rise in the **** movement, in Ryan''s view, these have nothing to do with him. He neither discriminates nor has a special view on homosexuality, just like treating ordinary people, and the **** movement is rising. The relative influence of the film will be greater, and Drew''s public relations will become easier.


    However, "Brokeback Mountain" wants to get the Oscar for Best Picture, even if "Crash" is not nominated this year, the possibility is extremely small.


    After all, homosexuality is not a minority in the mainstream society that urgently needs unity. Some personal awards are enough to appease their emotions.


    Although the box office growth can only be described by the speed of a snail, the film has received unanimous praise from the critics ~ www.novelhall.com ~ most of the media have also given praise-no one wants to attract a group of people just because they publish words that criticize homosexuality. Protest at the door-Ang Lee also had a feeling of turning over, but he didn''t know if he had any idea that he was not suitable for purely commercial production.


    Afterwards, Ang Lee found Ryan again, with the goal of attracting investment. He wanted to shoot a Chinese film after the Oscars next year, but Ryan refused.


    Ryan is not interested in films that do not have much market value. At first, he won "Brokeback Mountain" more for Natalie, otherwise it would not be handed over to Drew''s Flower Pictures. This type of film is for For Disney, there is hardly too much derived value.


    As for assisting Chinese films to the world, this task is too great, too sacred, and too onerous. Ryan does not think that he has this ability, and he also believes that he has no ability to change the world where Western culture and values ??are rampant. Culture cannot dominate the world Under the premise, Chinese-language movies cannot replace Hollywood movies in the world.


    This is a hundred times more difficult than the previous life his boss wanted to capture Hollywood and the US market with banknotes.


    The five, six and even seven generations of directors on the other side of the Pacific are more suitable for this great and sacred task than him. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 692： The most touching or the girl

    Entering November, the Hollywood awards season and the traditional Thanksgiving Christmas stalls are getting closer and closer. The films released include not only literary and artistic films that go straight to the awards, but also mainstream commercial films. Almost every weekend, Swiss En can see the vaguely impressive movies landed on North American theaters.


    At a time when traditional forces such as Paramount, Warner Bros., and Twentieth Century Fox are getting closer to the release label route, various companies under the Disney Group, including Disney Pictures and Touchstone Pictures, have maintained a high level of film production. Production, in the popular seasons of recent years, you can always see many big-selling movies produced by Disney subsidiaries and released by other Disney labels.


    This schedule is no exception. After the release of a series of horror films produced by Jenkins Pictures in September and October, Disney launched the first mainstream commercial production of this schedule-"Hurricane Rescue" in early November.


    Traditional action movies have long since fallen. Such a film with a production cost of only 25 million US dollars does not seem to have any special features, especially when compared with the big-selling action movies, the protagonist¡¯s evil opponents are too weak and weak. It is not a threat at all, it is almost as easy as being cut by the protagonist.


    However, the film firmly captures the most touching affection in North America and the whole world. Although there will not be such a skilled father in reality, the greatness of paternal love is fully revealed through the film.


    A father who was angered by human traffickers, in order to rescue his kidnapped daughter, he did not hesitate to pay any price. It can be said that the gods block and kill the gods, the Buddha blocks and kill the Buddha, and he slaughters one bad guy after another.


    The audience will not gush out any humanitarian compassion, and they completely forget that these slaughtered people also have wives, children, and children. The dad of the agent is full of anger and vents to the businessmen who treat the auction women purely as breadwinners. Three shots will only make people feel happy!


    Even if this is an action movie, the pg-13 classification and the theme expressed in the movie are very suitable for the whole family to watch, especially teenage girls and their fathers.


    In the words of the Los Angeles Times after the premiere, this is a film that is suitable and must be shown to all beautiful middle school students.


    Although the film is not very entertained by film critics, it has aroused quite a lively discussion among the public, especially on several famous film forums, where you can see good sensory comments from ordinary audiences on this film.


    "This story tells us that young girls shouldn''t get into a handsome guy''s car lightly."


    "The film is very compact and wonderful, there is no nonsense, but the pure love of father and daughter is touching."


    "Dad... what a magical existence father is to the daughters."


    "The story is very compelling, the rhythm is very tight, this kind of short and powerful action movie is really beautiful."


    "A dad who has given birth to a little beauty needs to have various skills such as bodyguards, secret agents, detectives, free combat, high-speed obstacle driving, medical rescue, drug rehabilitation, strike-up and bargaining with women, fake certificates, car theft..."


    Of course, some people inevitably expressed doubts about Scarlett Johansson, who played her daughter.


    "The black widow in "Captain America" ??has become a weak girl who needs to be rescued. It always feels weird."


    However, now Black Widow is just a cameo role in the Marvel movie, and has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This influence is not significant.


    Compared with Disney¡¯s total investment of only more than 50 million US dollars, the film¡¯s first week of box office can be described as a big success. It took 41.3 million US dollars in the box office of more than 3850 theaters in the three days of the weekend. It only took ten days. The film¡¯s North American box office exceeded 80 million U.S. dollars, and judging from the box office trend, the final North American box office is even expected to exceed 150 million U.S. dollars.


    This is a small box office miracle now that traditional action movies have fallen.


    "So, girls are the most attractive."


    Sitting in the car heading to San Francisco, Ryan and Charlize next to him were discussing the movie released some time ago, "A beautiful girl can overturn a city and cause a war."


    "You are not twenty-six years old yet?"


    Charlize tilted his head and looked at him strangely, "Is there a Lolita complex now?"


    "Or..." A dangerous light flashed in the eyes of the South African Diamond, "Which girl did you see?"


    "Hey, dear." Ryan spread his hands dissatisfied, "I just sent it out of feeling."


    "I know." Charlize deliberately showed a clear look. "You are going to be a father. There will definitely be many feelings."


    After returning from Paris to Los Angeles, Charlize, although not as sharp as Natalie¡¯s performance, occasionally raised this topic, Ryan can only try to reassure people, after all, people are not puppets, and the human heart is also the most difficult to measure in the world. thing.


    The black Rolls-Royce turned around San Francisco Bay and finally stopped in front of the Letterman Digital Art Center, where the famous Industrial Light and Magic was located.


    Ryan was invited by Michael Bay. After two months of hard work, the special effects team of Boom Shell and Industrial Light and Magic successfully created the same scale model and scaled down of Bumblebee, Megatron and Optimus Prime. Models. Although the robots in the film will be made using cg, they are just like Iron Man¡¯s suits. Models are also indispensable for shooting.


    "Hi, Michael."


    As soon as he walked into the huge factory building of Industrial Light and Magic, Ryan saw Michael Bay and others standing in front of several model robots. After greeted the people approaching one by one, he met with George Luca at the end. Si gave a light hug.


    "George, you look a lot fatter."


    "Because I don''t have to worry about whether the movie will sell out." George Lucas beckoned to Charlize on the other side, "Hey, Charlie, I heard that your costumes and sweets are very popular."


    "It''s okay." Charlize gently shook the hand that George Lucas stretched over.


    She knew her position very well, but stood aside with Ryan on her arm and rarely spoke.


    "This is the final sample that incorporates Hasbro''s opinions."


    Everyone walked under the huge robot model. Michael Bay gave a brief introduction, "If you have no objection, Ryan, future shooting, cg production and derivative manufacturing will use these models as basic templates."


    Although it is the first time to see the real object, the electronic images of Autobots and Decepticons have been passed to him long ago, and Ryan also agreed to these designs. Generally speaking, there is not much difference from the shape of the previous life, such as The bumblebee with puppy-like eyes and the blue-red Optimus Prime.


    In other words, it is certain to destroy some people''s childhood memories.


    However, changing the image in cartoons is a necessary choice. Times are changing, and movies must change accordingly.


    "About the Transformers battle scene, we have reached an agreement."


    Levin Brightman, the person in charge of Industrial Light and Magic, talked about the progress of the special effects work, "After the robot completes the final computer design, the special effects work can start. We will synchronize with the filming of the film. The special effects team Part of the staff will also participate in the filming of the film."


    Nodded, Ryan looked at Michael Bay again, "How was my last proposal considered?"


    "I got through with Levin." Michael Bay waited for Levin Brightman on the other side and nodded and said, "Some scenes of the film are made with imax3d technology, which will definitely enhance the visual impact, but the production cost of the film It will definitely exceed 150 million U.S. dollars."


    He said cautiously, "Ryan, I need at least 20 million dollars."


    "These are not problems." Ryan waved his hand. "There will be advertisers paying for us."


    This is not an exaggeration. Many sponsorship contracts have been signed during the film''s preparation period. There are more than 20 advertisers ranging from beer, mobile phones, beverages, chewing gum to computers, cars, trucks, and department stores.


    Especially the Autobots, who are the absolute protagonists, are the focus of competition among automakers.


    In the end, General Motors packaged Ironhide, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and two other deceptive robots with a $20 million advertising fee, involving several brands such as its Chevrolet, and will provide 300 vehicles for the crew. Shots of old GM cars and empty shell cars.


    Lamborghini won a sponsorship contract for several other robots such as the Jazz, and will also provide models of sports cars for destruction, for which it also paid $10 million in advertising fees.


    In addition, a small business jet was added to the Decepticons'' robots. Gulfstream took the initiative to take out a $8 million sponsorship contract. The Autobot studio will certainly not refuse.


    As eBay and Google, which will frequently appear in the film, the studio also received a total of $6 million in advertising fees from them.


    In fact, the film has not yet started. With the title of commercial production led by Ryan, the Autobot studio has recovered close to 60 million U.S. dollars just by implanting advertising. Disney, as a ** investor, is not under pressure. , It¡¯s not difficult to get another 20 million dollars out.


    Moreover, there are new sponsorship contracts and pre-sale negotiations underway.


    Of course, Ryan has repeatedly reminded Michael Bay to pay attention to the way and method of ad placement, not to be as simple, crude, and direct as the later parts of the previous life.


    In other words, this is a large advertising campaign full of visual impact. The main publicity objects are naturally Autobots and Decepticons. Their toy models and various other derivatives are the profit of the film. the key of.


    When leaving the huge factory building, Michael Bella gave Ryan a look and he fell to the back of the team, obviously there was something to say.


    "Ryan, can you make a request?"


    Compared to the past, after experiencing the failure of "Escape from the Island of Clone", Bangbei is obviously more humble, "About the actors."


    Ryan made a please gesture.


    "I watched the auditions of Zac Efron and Alexandra Ambrosio."


    Michael Bay is talking about the tentative film hero and heroine, "I don¡¯t think Zac Efron is suitable for the actor, he is much shorter than Ambrosio, and his aura in the camera is too weak. It was completely suppressed by Alexandra Ambrosio."


    "What about your suggestion?" Ryan thought for a moment. Zach Efron was a small star in his previous life, and he is just a small actor signed by Disney in this life, and he has almost no impression.


    "Change to a more appealing actor." r1152


    {:\"23130\",:\"1036\"};()

 Chapter 693： The right to freedom belongs to all beings

    When returning to Los Angeles by car, Ryan was still considering Michael Bay¡¯s suggestion. If measured by the achievements of his previous life, Zac Efron and Alexandra Ambrosio are indeed not on the same level. It''s even farther than San Francisco to Los Angeles.


    When the former was the most popular, that is, the youth idol created by Disney''s assembly line, it seems that it will go bankrupt in the future; the latter is one of the top supermodels in the world.


    Although in terms of acting alone, Zac Efron is indeed better than Lisandra Ambrosio, is acting important in "Transformers"?


    As for the Miss Fox from the previous life, she didn''t have much acting skills.


    Therefore, Ryan still agrees with Michael Bay''s suggestion to change to a more appealing actor, but Bombshell sets the target on him.


    Yes, Michael Bay invited him to play the leading actor.


    Ryan did not agree, but did not refuse. His previous life was a group of people born in the early 1980s. He has a special affection for this series. Whether it is cartoons or live-action movies, he likes them very much, even by countless''professionals. ''The latter few films, which are called super lousy movies, have been seen more than once.


    The phrase ¡®Autobots, transform and set off! I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll never forget it.


    He still remembers that when the third film in the previous life was released, he went to the imax hall of the movie theater at least five times. Even if the plot is really thin and outrageous, as long as the protagonists are Optimus Prime and Megatron , He will buy it like most Transformers fans.


    What''s more, the fighting and explosion scenes filmed by Michael Bay are really exciting.


    What kind of movie is a good movie?


    Different people have different evaluation criteria, just like Ryan. He thinks that the movie that most audiences like is a good movie.


    Those dull movies, even if they were blown to the sky by the media and film critics, he would not go to watch them a second time, or even not finish watching them the first time. Will give up because of boredom.


    To put it bluntly, his taste is like that of most movie audiences in the world.


    "Ryan."


    After living together for so long, Charlize can naturally guess some of Ryan''s thoughts, "You won''t be tempted by Michael''s suggestion, are you?"


    "Why not?" Ryan looked at the South African Diamonds and said seriously, "You should know that I like this series very much."


    "Oh, my God." Charlize rolled his eyes deliberately, "Are you going to be a supporting role for a cg animation character? Also, you will be 26 years old soon. To play a teenage high school student..."


    "My dear..." Ryan has made up his mind, "If I play, I will definitely revise the script."


    "Okay." Seeing Ryan had made a decision, Charlize stopped persuading him, "You always make sense."


    The script must be adjusted appropriately, and the playful hip-hop style does not fit his positioning. Although the identity of an ordinary young man will not change, the protagonist will definitely no longer be a boring high school student, and he is willing to play the protagonist. It will definitely increase the appeal of the movie. His commercial productions have always been sought after by mainstream audiences...


    In fact, the promotion of live-action movies has been proceeding in an orderly manner, and the most typical one is the activity of collecting lines for Optimus Prime. The event attracted hundreds of thousands of participants and collected more than 100,000 lines. The "Autobot" studio selected the most outstanding 50 of them and placed them on the specially established official website. The most suitable one is voted by the majority of Transformers fans.


    At present, ¡®Freedom to all beings¡¯ is ranked first by absolute advantage. This is not an original, but an inscription on the base of the commemorative version of Optimus Prime previously released by Hasbro.


    In North America. "Freedom" can be said to be a slogan for killing.


    Although he didn¡¯t stay in Industrial Light and Magic for a long time, in addition to work, Ryan also chatted with George Lucas. Over the years, the two sides have established a good relationship, but he did not talk about any current issues. Lucasfilm is very interested in topics.


    Whether it is him or George Lucas, in addition to film practitioners, they have the same identity as a businessman. When it comes to commercial interests, it is a complete business.


    Not to mention that George Lucas and the major shareholders behind it have not yet intended to sell Lucasfilm. Even if they sell, it is not a simple matter for Disney Group to complete the acquisition.


    If you don¡¯t use stock swaps, Disney needs to prepare at least 3.5 to 4 billion US dollars in funds, which is cash rather than fixed assets. Even Ryan and Disney want to do so without affecting normal operations. Raising such a large amount of cash flow in the short term also requires a lot of effort.


    What''s more, there are things Ryan doesn''t want in the Lucas film industry.


    Like most companies, Lucasfilm has not only Lucasfilm, Lucas Animation, Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker sound effects and other outstanding departments and subsidiaries, but also Lucas Online, which is responsible for Internet and game development. And Lucas Art is such a tasteless existence.


    But if Lucasfilm is really sold, it must be sold in packages, and it is basically impossible to split it up.


    Of course, the entire Lucasfilm industry attracts Ryan the most, or Industrial Light & Magic. Even if the digital field is combined with Weta Studios, it cannot be compared with Industrial Light & Magic. As the world''s best special effects company The importance of Light Magic to the Hollywood film industry is self-evident.


    When I returned to Jenkins Manor, it was completely dark. After having dinner together, Ryan accompanied Charlize back to the room.


    As soon as he entered the master bedroom on the third floor, the South African Diamond pressed Ryan on the door, and after a long wet kiss, he couldn''t wait to pull off his belt.


    It seems that it was affected by Nicole¡¯s pregnancy. After returning from Europe, Charlize, who was already in high demand, became even wilder, using almost all the free time he could find to make love with Ryan, every time he didn¡¯t toss it to the ground. give up.


    The bedroom became a battlefield once again. The door, balcony, dressing table, fabric sofa, etc. were crushed by the crazy pair of men and women one after another. When the two entered the bathroom to take a shower, it was already an hour later.


    Help Charlize to dry her long blonde hair, and wrap her tightly in a thick bath towel. Ryan sat on the large fabric sofa with her in her arms. The South African Diamond took the remote control and opened the new one. TV.


    Nestled in Ryan''s arms, pressing his face on his strong chest from time to time, listening to the surging and powerful heartbeat, even when watching the most boring soap opera, Charlize felt satisfied, both physically and psychologically.


    Even if there are some regrets, it can be completely ignored compared to what is obtained.


    "My dear." Ryan is really not interested in soap operas at eight o''clock. "Can I change to another show?"


    "Well, TV station."


    Turning his head and biting on Ryan''s chest, Charlize pressed the remote control to change the program to the home channel.


    "Thanks for the new movie recommendation for Christmas."


    Without waiting for Ryan''s response, Charlize said again, "It seems to be a movie made by your little lover."


    "Little...little lover?" Ryan slapped her straight buttocks hard, and made a crisp noise. Charlize curled his lips to the TV in dissatisfaction. "127 Hours, director Natalie Portman, starring Ryan Jenkins..."


    "Change to another show." Just as Ryan wanted to grab the remote control, Charlize threw it on the carpet first, pressing his white forehead hard against his chest, "Just watch this."


    This is the weekly new movie recommendation of the TV station. The movies that appear on it are all upcoming movies, and they are also a kind of alternative publicity advertisements.


    The show is broadcasting an interview with Natalie, "I decided to direct this film when I was filming "The Hunger Games", but I didn''t want to make it in the style of "168 Hours of Frozen" because the story is too It¡¯s amazing. I hope it can be like a documentary. I hope the audience can share the experience of Alan Ruston and experience the 127 hours of being trapped with him."


    "There are no villains in the movie, except for Stone, which is a bit monotonous, so the photographer and I have done some work to make them look a little different."


    This is Natalie''s first film that will be released on a large scale. Even if the investment is not high, Touchstone Pictures still has a certain degree of publicity.


    The film has already been screened during the Toronto Film Festival. This recommended program is obviously well prepared, and some audiences who participated in the screening have been interviewed.


    ""127 Hours" is painful but also moving. It will make you cry in the first minute and laugh the next. It will make you nervous to move your **** to the edge of the chair and hold your breath. This is not a ''Man and nature'' or simply a story of survival in the wilderness."


    This film will soon be launched on the North American theaters on a large scale. The movie recommendation is only part of the promotion. Although the promotion fee is limited , Disney still invested a certain amount of resources on this film. Last year''s "Argo "Is also a relatively niche subject, but it has allowed Disney to reap tens of millions of dollars in profits.


    The real experience of Alan Ruston¡¯s self-rescue is of course the focus of publicity. A film critic funded by Disney wrote a special article for the film, claiming that ¡°127 Hours¡± was shown at the Toronto Film Festival and he was in one of the theaters. , Saw the **** scenes of at least three viewers being amputated to survive, and fainted. ¡¯


    Obviously, this is just to stimulate the curiosity of the audience.


    "The film is beautiful and full of creativity."


    Wonder Woman Gal Gado also participated in the film¡¯s screening at the Toronto Film Festival. When interviewed by the TV station, she did not hesitate to praise her, ¡°Although this is Ryan¡¯s one-man show, his performance is extremely good, Natalie While creating a frightening and claustrophobic thriller atmosphere in the film, there are also some small humours interspersed to ease it. In short, this is a very touching film."


    The film is adapted from Alan Ruston''s autobiography, and the specific plot has long been disclosed by the media. Therefore, during the promotion, Touchstone Pictures, the publisher, also specifically listed three major points of interest. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 694： Run out of water! No food!

    The general content of this film does not have any confidentiality. As the release time approaches, Disney has simply teamed up with Yahoo and other online media to place the three most interesting aspects in the important position of the advertising early. In order to attract the audience into the theater.


    Not only the Internet, but also the print media quickly reposted the news. The entertainment pages of many newspapers and periodicals showed the three major highlights of "127 Hours".


    "Feature 1-based on the true story of the explorer Alan Ruston. It tells the story of him falling into a valley during a hike and being held down by a rock and unable to move his arm. Ruston was trapped for 5 days. After that, he chose to survive with a broken arm. He performed amputation on himself in the field, climbed to the bottom of a 65-foot valley, and walked 5 miles before being rescued."


    "Point 2-After the great success of starring in "The Hunger Games", Natalie Portman did not continue her career as an actor. Instead, she chose to direct and shoot a biopic to continue her brilliance. This time span is only Five days of film to tell a story about courage and self-help, shooting this film is also a challenge for Natalie Portman."


    "Point 3-the shot of the amputation operation was too real, so it looked too bloody. It is said that during the Toronto show, many viewers saw this episode, their legs were weak, and many viewers were directly in the movie theater. Spit it out."


    However, in general, the cost of this film for publicity and marketing is limited, and so is the momentum. Compared with the upcoming "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" before Thanksgiving, it can only be said to be a little witch. See Da Wu.


    The film itself is a niche type. If the cost is not controlled, the investment may not be recovered.


    Therefore, the scale of the premiere at the time of the film¡¯s release was also small and pitiful. It was not even as good as the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain" last month. Fortunately, because of the relationship between Ryan and Natalie, the media and There are not many stars. Among them, for example, Scarlett Johansson, Gail Gado, etc., are still popular movie stars.


    "Although I don''t have to be stuck in the valley for more than 100 hours like Allen, but for me, this performance is still a challenge to hone my physical strength and willpower."


    Standing in the interview area on the red carpet, Ryan talked to reporters. In any case, he was obliged to promote the film. "Fortunately, modern film technology prevents me from really reaching the level of professional mountaineers. This film was shot at a level."


    "Is it a peculiar experience to make this film?" The reporter of "Los Angeles Times" John Trudeau said very well.


    "This is really very special and very stressful. A very valuable experience." Ryan nodded to the smart reporter and continued, "We are going to shoot in the studio in Los Angeles, and we have to restore it to Allen. In the trapped canyon lens, I empathize with Allen¡¯s predicament and the courage to get out of the predicament."


    On the red carpet behind, cheers came one after another. When Ryan looked back, Alan Ruston and his girlfriend Jessica were walking towards the theater. After the filming of this film and Disney''s vigorous publicity, his fame gradually spread throughout North America.


    In such a country that worships individual heroism, he has almost become the second Antonio Mendez-style ¡®national hero¡¯.


    After the other party came over, Ryan gave him a light hug. Then gave him the interview area. Promoting him is equivalent to propagating the film. As long as Alan Ruston can bring enough benefits, Ryan doesn''t mind turning him into a real hero.


    "After I was trapped. The first thought was to take a video of myself, hoping to leave a last image for my family and friends, and it was this love for my family and friends. I finally created a miracle, a worthy audience. The miracle that the theater goes to share."


    When leaving, Ryan also heard the voice of Alan Ruston coming from behind. After experiencing Disney''s intensive training and media bombardment, this one also knew how to deal with those guys and propaganda. Yourself.


    Regardless of the scale of the premiere, it is nothing more than that. After the routine projects such as interviews and group photos, Ryan and others entered the theater.


    "You are nervous..."


    Sitting in the front row, Ryan could feel Natalie''s hand seemingly tightening while holding him, "Nate?"


    "A little bit." Natalie nodded slightly.


    The Toronto show is only in a limited number of theaters, which is a large-scale show. Although the number of theaters is only 800, it covers most of North America.


    "Nate."


    Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting next to Natalie, interjected, "We will work together in your next movie, and we will not bring Ryan."


    "Then Scarlett, and Nat."


    Gail Gado in the back row also came over, "Do you have any specific plans? Can you count me as one."


    "Gail, haven''t you started preparing for "Wonder Woman 2" yet?" Ryan asked back.


    "Warner Bros. is still making preliminary preparations." Gail Gadoo clutched Natalie''s chair back and said softly, "According to Director Burton, it won''t start until next year at the earliest."


    "Hey, Ryan." Scarlett said dissatisfied. "Don''t change the subject, okay?"


    She pointed to herself, Natalie and Gail Gadoo and said, "The three of us must have more important roles. The script of Nat''s new movie is up to you."


    "Scarlett!" Natalie gave her a concealed look.


    Three heavier female characters? Ryan squeezed his chin. After "Brokeback Mountain", homosexuality has gradually ceased to be a taboo topic in mainstream movies. Perhaps...well, the heroine masturbation scene must be deleted, even if it is retained, it cannot be as bold as the previous life. .


    "what are you thinking about?"


    "Couldn''t you really think of a suitable subject?"


    Natalie and Scarlett asked one after another. Ryan shook his head, "After clarifying my thoughts, I will tell you in detail. Also, Nat will be filming "The Hunger Games 2" next year. When she has time, I will I will discuss it with her slowly."


    Seeing Scarlett''s face still full of curiosity, Ryan made a silent gesture and pointed to the lit big screen, "Watching a movie!"


    Alan Ruston, an adventurous mountaineering enthusiast, a 6-foot-2 inch tall, 175-pound young man with great physical strength.


    On April 25, 2003, he came to Blue John Canyon in Utah, USA, and experienced a trip he will never forget...


    In a small town called Aspen, he embarked on an adventure and drove towards the Horseshoe Canyon to the west of Canyon National Park. There, Allen was about to start a one-day tour of the canyon. He only brought a car, a mountain bike, a first aid kit, a climbing rope, a 4-inch pocket knife and a day''s rations, but! He didn''t bring a cell phone!


    Allen parked his car in Horseshoe Canyon, and he camped on the spot that night.


    In the early morning of the next day, he rode a mountain bike and headed south for two and a half hours against the wind. He arrived at Blue John Canyon. The area is vast and the weather is varied. There are many places in the park that are very remote and no one has set foot. It is on the edge of the western part of the park.


    This generation of sand is loose, the road is difficult, the canyon is deep and narrow, the sandstone may slide or move at any time, and there is bad weather, even in summer, the temperature difference between day and night is huge.


    After arriving at the destination, Allen started a 15-mile hike. After nearly 3 hours in the Blue John Canyon, the kid was not honest. He came to a gorge about 4 feet wide with flaming sandstone bumps and bumps. Climb along the rock.


    At first everything went smoothly. At 70 feet high, he successfully climbed a seemingly strong boulder. However, when he was climbing a 3-foot crack in the rock, unfortunately happened...


    Allen pushed a boulder blocking his way. When he was about to climb, the boulder shook. Allen slipped and fell suddenly, and his entire right hand and forearm were squeezed between the boulder and the rock wall!


    The boulder nailed him firmly in the air. It was Saturday, April 26th at 2:45 pm.


    It happened too suddenly. After Allen woke up from the whole thing, it was accompanied by severe pain. No matter how he pushed, squeezed, pulled, or pulled, he was in vain. He studied mechanical engineering in university, and he used himself. All the knowledge, intelligence and physical strength, but that is a 770-pound boulder!


    Because the red sandstone is relatively soft, he tried to break the stone at first, but he only brought a pocket knife. In this case, it is undoubtedly extremely unwise to consume too much energy. Allen can do. The only way to stay awake, save energy, and wait for the extremely slim rescue.


    Allen began his desperate wait. He inserted the grappling hook into a rock gap to fix it, and then fastened the climbing vest on his body so that it could sit in the air and free his feet. He had 2 in his backpack. Burrito, a few pieces of chewing gum and 0.8 gallons of water are his only rations. He tries to save as much as possible, hoping to keep it longer.


    Even though it is April at night , the temperature in the desert will still drop below zero. Allen, wearing only shorts and a t-shirt, can only rely on his strong physique and few equipment to withstand the severe cold.


    In the howling of the cold wind, fear, frustration, regret, anger and darkness struck him together. He felt that he had let down those who loved him and regretted that he had violated the safety rules of rock climbing. He engraved his name on the rock wall. , I hope that someday those who love him can read their own experiences.


    On the third day of being trapped, Allen drank the last drop of water, urine, and all other means to survive. It was indispensable at this time. He was severely short of water and even imagined that this sandstone desert was raining heavily. , Fantasizing that countless water filled the gorge and wrapped him tightly in it.


    However, this was destined to be only a fantasy. In the fantasy, he never had tears in his eyes when he was desperate, but he was filled with tears because of the ethereal hope that he saw.


    Run out of water! No food! Not even pee!


    Life and death are on both sides, everything is only waiting for him to make his own choice!


    On the fifth day of being trapped, Alan Ruston made the most important decision of his life! (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 695： Every knife is like cutting on myself

    An arm and a life, which is more important?


    Everyone in the world knows the answer to this arithmetic problem, but when it reaches the level of practice, I believe that few people have done it. That¡¯s why this story is so shocking! It''s so thought-provoking when presented on the screen!


    Alan Ruston took out the 4-inch folding knife and first aid kit, placed them on the rock in front of him, tightened his right upper arm with a bandage, and cut it down along the right elbow joint. ;23£«wx


    Because the knife was very blunt, Allen cut the muscle and soft tissue of the right arm continuously for an hour. Then he broke the radius near the wrist of the forearm first, and moved the position in the next few minutes, using the principle of torque, with the help of The rock broke the ulna.


    A large amount of blood spewed out, stained the boulder that pressed his right arm, and ran to the ground. Due to the massive blood loss, Allen almost fainted. Then he took out the antiseptic ointment, bandage, etc. from the first aid kit, and gave it to his right arm. Emergency hemostasis treatment.


    Alan Ruston is still alive and still climbing, so Natalie would not take such a heavy shot. Although the process of breaking his arm was bloody, it was too light to avoid the weight, far from what the propaganda said.


    It is terrible to be selective, so Natalie took it out alone to shoot, but in reality, Alan Ruston borrowed the stone to break the bone, and probably not many audiences could bear it, so Natalie walked past these areas.


    This section is the soul of the whole film. The Long Island girl used a very clever technique. The blood on Ryan''s face was more like ketchup. There was no sign of blood spurting after his broken arm. He didn''t even bleed while running¡ª ¡ªHow can a simple tourniquet have such a good effect ¡ª in fact, they all hinted at Natalie''s intentions. What she wanted to shoot was not a broken arm, but a survival!


    Natalie has discussed her understanding of the film with Ryan several times. The theme of the film is not based on the abuse of the heart and the lungs. She shows more courage and will, and is the hope of life!


    This is a movie full of hope!


    Allen was trapped on a steep rock face 65 feet from the bottom of the canyon. After a simple hemostasis, he fixed a rope to the rock wall with a climbing anchor, descended with the aid of the rope with one arm, and obtained much-needed water from the dirty pool, and walked toward the hope of life.


    The wider the desert canyon, the softer the sand, and the easier it is to sink. For ordinary people, walking on this is also very difficult and laborious. Alan not only has to fight for time with blood loss, coma, dehydration, etc., but also needs to walk on foot for at least 7 Miles to see a glimmer of hope


    Fortunately, his luck exploded at this time. When he stumbled and approached the Horseshoe Valley, two Dutch hikers walked towards him. They hurriedly gave Alan food and water, and then in a hurry, the three moved on.


    They walked through the ¡®Great Gallery¡¯ area, and just about a mile away from Allen¡¯s car, a helicopter arrived-Allen had not been at work for 5 days. His colleague called the police, and the police sent a helicopter to search for it. Alan''s car was found in Horseshoe Canyon-when it was about to land for inspection, I saw three of them!


    After the helicopter landed, rescuers were stunned and found that besides the two Dutch travelers, there was another person standing there, all red. From head to toe, there were scabs of dried blood and blood flowing out. The blood from his broken arm had stained his right leg the same color as red sandstone!


    On the plane, rescuers kept talking to Allen. Lest he fall asleep, they saw his empty right sleeve tube, although they knew what was going on. But I didn''t dare to think about it, and it was inconvenient to ask. On the contrary, Allen, who was drinking from the cabin, told them straightforwardly that he had to break his arm to survive.


    Twelve minutes later, the plane arrived at St. Mary''s Hospital. The most bizarre thing in the whole incident, which made everyone stunned, happened. Allen walked into the emergency room without any help!


    Natalie deliberately used the rescuers'' words to show Alan''s will-he is simply not a human being!


    The film did not end there. Natalie explained the development of the follow-up events with a quick-switching short shot and text narration.


    "The police went to Blue John Canyon to look for Alan¡¯s right arm. The rock climbing lock was still hanging there. From now on, it can be seen that Alan used ropes and hooks to form a simple pulley to try to move the boulder. It weighs almost 800 pounds and is big enough to fill a half-truck."


    "Allen''s severed arm is still there, with blood stains around it. The doctor said that even if the severed arm and Allen were sent back to the hospital at the time, there was no way to transplant it again; one step back, even if Allen was the first in distress Tian was rescued by others, Allen still needs to be amputated."


    After showing Alan¡¯s life after amputation, the end of the film was transferred to a press conference released by his autobiography. This is a real video material.


    "In those 5 days, I have been thinking about how to get out of trouble. My mood has changed many times, but I know that I must remain calm. When I am on the rock wall, I often fantasize about drinking."


    In the process of expressing, Allen mentioned mental function and the power of friends many times, "In the canyon, I feel that someone is with me, and I feel that my relatives and friends are with me. They gave me strong will and greatness. Courage."


    Life is empty and boring. Only in the wilderness can we create extraordinary possibilities!


    With more photos of Alan Ruston climbing, this text appeared on the screen, and then the subtitles fell, the theme song sang by Taylor sounded, and the film ended.


    Applause suddenly rang, and from the ordinary audience in the last row, it quickly spread to the position of the front row guests. Ryan stood up first and slapped his palms hard while looking at Natalie who was a little excited.


    "Congratulations, Nat."


    "This is a great movie!"


    "You did a great job!"


    "You will be one of the best female directors in Hollywood..."


    Many people gathered around and congratulated Natalie. The female director responded one by one. Although the smile on her face was inevitably formulaic, Ryan could see that Natalie was very happy.


    She has ambitions and desires. She has known what she wants more than ten years ago and is constantly working hard for it.


    "Nate, I''m proud of you." Ryan gave her a hard hug, "The film is even better than I thought."


    "Thank you!" Natalie kissed the corner of his mouth very quickly, "Thank you for your support, Ryan, I can''t do this without you."


    "After watching this film, I feel confident." Ryan whispered in her ear, "Honey, wait for your first Oscar nomination in your life."


    This film really surpassed Ryan''s expectations of Natalie, perhaps because of the training of the first two experimental films, her learning accumulation for more than ten years has finally bloomed as she deserves.


    As a true biographical film adaptation, "127 Hours" has its inevitable natural flaws-the plot conflict is not enough, the story line is too single.


    In the film¡¯s narrative, only one clue was chosen by Allen. Eighty percent of the shots in the film are his pictures and his perspective. Natalie made a point specially-it is impossible to know when people are trapped. Other things besides myself!


    "Does the family know that I am missing?"


    "Are they looking for me?"


    "Did my friend call the police?"


    I don''t know anything about it! Some are just unknown, at a loss, fear, anxiety, worry...


    Only with this method can these emotions be better displayed, and the audience can more easily understand the heart of the protagonist at this moment. Although Natalie has abandoned the effect of plot conflict, she has achieved a high degree of reduction in the presentation of emotions.


    Especially the scene of survival with amputated limbs, when the film is presented, it is obviously much worse than the level of "bloody" in shooting. Natalie adopted a more restrained approach in post-production, deliberately blurring the scenes of amputated limbs. The degree of bloody, as far as possible so that the audience does not feel too much discomfort.


    Even though Ryan has not experienced it personally, he knows that the reality is much more cruel and **** than what is shown in the film. Even so, I still feel painful when watching this episode, and it even hurts until the end of the film. As if it was cut on his body, that kind of pain in the **** went straight to the heart, as he said, I can¡¯t imagine how Alan Ruston got here...


    In terms of important emotional narratives, Natalie also adopted a more restrained attitude. Instead of simple sensationalism, she focused on her attitude towards life, which is commendable.


    Natalie also showed her unique side in lens application and editing.


    Before Allen was trapped, the camera moved and had a panoramic view. His heart was extremely happy and excited. It was very bright and showed the magnificent and magnificent scenery of Canyon National Park.


    When Allen was trapped, the lens also turned to be fixed, the use of close-up lens showed that kind of occlusion high pressure.


    Especially in the use of color, in the short film "Coffee" she shows her uniqueness, and this film is no exception.


    The color of the picture is very beautiful. The large areas of crimson-orange mountain rocks in the first half, the leaning sunlight at the end and the swimming pool with sparkling waves all give a warm feeling, and most of them are gloomy when trapped. It is cold and dark, even if there is light, it flashes by, and the time is very short, setting off the feeling of darkness and depression.


    I have to say that the Canyon National Park under her lens is really beautiful, maybe after the film is released, there will be more tourists who love adventure.


    All in all, in Ryan''s view, as a biopic, it is already very good to be able to make this look.


    Although there are still shortcomings and shortcomings, there are some flaws in the grasp of the rhythm and the inner struggle of the protagonist, but it is not important. This film clearly conveys more meaningful things-will, courage and love life!


    This is a theme that the audience likes very much, and it is also a theme that many judges of the college like. For Ryan, this is enough.


    Enough for him to start public relations operations, enough for Natalie to win the belated Oscar nomination. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 696： 0 million box office director

    "Life is a river, it just rushes forward blindly, never looking back, until it flows into the sea, the sea is turbulent, turbulent for thousands of years, and in the deep blue, life is immortal. The soul is whizzing; no matter what kind of suffering, life is unyielding, it will survive and multiply tenaciously, and constantly pursue light and happiness! As far as life itself is concerned, what is fragile is not life itself, but the will to dominate life! "


    Returning to North Hollywood from the theater, Ryan updated his personal blog on Disney-Ryan Family Online for the first time and wrote down his views on "127 Hours".


    Now that Twitter and Facebook are far from rising, his blog is one of the most popular personal blogs in the United States, and it is also a good publicity platform.


    It didn''t take long for the following to keep up with numerous replies, most of which were people who watched the film, and they posted their own comments on the film.


    "Natalie will drink water like a drug. The film she directed is full of beautiful photography, coupled with warm tones and unique shots, a story that should be boring becomes much more interesting. Of course, Ryan¡¯s performance is also indispensable. Apart from showing off his skills, he still does not forget to sell meat. After gritted his teeth and watched the scene of self-rescue with a broken arm, although there is no blood in the promotion, it is very sad and touching.


    "I think the film reflects that this is not only a kind of survival, but also a kind of spiritual culture. Who can not be moved when perseverance and courage burst out?"


    "It turns out that love is the source of life. If it weren''t for the feeling of love, the male protagonist would not have the heart to use a stone to mutilate his limbs to escape the predicament, although he needs to face one-handed response in later life. But the continuation of love is the ultimate goal of each of us. Because of love, we persist, and because of love, we sacrifice!"


    "In addition to Ryan and Natalie, I must also praise Alan Ruston. He is like our Ryan, a real man who makes the most difficult choices in the most difficult times, not only for For myself, and for the one I love!"


    "It looks really sad. But it''s also wonderful. The character''s heart is very full."


    "I really admire the kind of warrior who cuts off his arm with a small fruit knife. Instead, I would rather stab myself to death with the knife..."


    Although most of the people who left messages were positive, the number of people who left messages was much less than when Ryan launched commercial productions in the past. The type of the subject matter of the film naturally limits the audience.


    However, this kind of film has always been a favorite type of critics, not to mention whether it is directed by Natalie. Ryan''s performance is indeed remarkable.


    "Even without the intrusion of appalling instruments of torture and ghosts, when a biographical perspective of the film presents nature''s treacherous steps, it can still make you forget to breathe! The difficulty of "127 Hours". Not every man can overcome it. , Ryan Jenkins and Natalie Portman have teamed up to produce an inspiring movie. Through this movie, you will be able to restrain your future behavior, but at the same time. It will also cheer you up. Get up and let you live happily."


    -"Los Angeles Times"


    "Natalie Portman made an important film about human nature, telling people a story of perseverance. To show a bright path for people in disaster, the role played by Ryan Jenkins fascinated the audience completely. Yes, if next year¡¯s Oscar is not nominated, then the jury is blind!"


    --"Washington post"


    "Only a truly visionary filmmaker can set the story to a large extent in a narrow canyon and unfold from it, bringing hope. Is this movie worth watching? Yes, not to be missed!"


    -"USA Today"


    "A film that can be recorded in the annals of''great'' history. "127 Hours" brings us an unforgettable journey. Natalie Portman controls every shot of the movie, stimulating the nerves of the audience, and is more than the big scene. War films are also attractive. It is not easy for her to shoot such quality in a narrow space. In addition, Ryan Jenkins''s performance is very natural and nuanced, and it can also soften horror and humor. This It¡¯s a movie worth watching for everyone."


    --"New York Times"


    It is no exaggeration to say that the film has been well received by most of the media. Originally, this type of subject matter is easily recognized by the critics. Moreover, Ryan has never done less work in private. How to operate the film during the award season Gained something, he and his public relations team are very knowledgeable.


    The film has just been released, and now it¡¯s just November. Pai Jinsli has officially taken over the public relations work of the film, and Disney¡¯s resources will also cooperate with her. Many heavyweight judges have received a post-Thanksgiving pull. Film meetings and party invitations.


    In addition, a total of 50,000 hardcover Blu-ray discs are in production. The premium movie commemorative tableware and Disney¡¯s limited-edition commemorative dolls ordered from Royal Products are already ready.


    This is just the beginning of a series of public relations plans.


    Today¡¯s Oscars, although the quality of the film can be regarded as the foundation, is getting closer to the game of public relations and money. Although the judges dare not blatantly accept too expensive gifts, the producers and distributors have spent the past few years. The cost of public relations has risen sharply.


    The production cost of a film that wants to make a difference during the awards season may only be more than ten million or even several million dollars, and the total expenditure spent on public relations often far exceeds the production cost.


    Last year, Disney threw $10 million in public relations expenses for the best film of "Argo".


    This is still the film that fits the socio-political situation at the time, otherwise it would simply not be the opponent of "Million Dollar Baby", which has a larger investment in this area.


    In the terms of the academy, public relations is a manifestation of the will to compete freely. However, the Oscars tend to be closer to the mainstream European football leagues. The crew that spent a lot of dollars may not win the prize, but the winning crew must have thrown out a lot of dollars. .


    Of course, Ryan knows very well that Natalie¡¯s age, qualifications, etc. are much worse than Sophia Coppola in previous years. It is basically impossible to win prizes, and nomination is more realistic.


    As for the box office of the film, as long as the various copyrights in the later period can be added to recover the cost.


    The production cost of "127 Hours" was only more than 10 million U.S. dollars, and Ryan only took a symbolic payment of 500,000 U.S. dollars for the film. Even if the promotion and marketing costs were included, the total investment would not exceed 30 million U.S. dollars.


    However, if the film wants to make a difference in the awards season, it will inevitably need to increase investment, which will also be included in the total investment of the film.


    In North America, the box office was better than Ryan expected. On the first three days of the week, she received $11.35 million from 800 theaters. The box office of the single venue successfully exceeded $10,000. The number of theaters in the second week is bound to increase.


    Sure enough, the number of theaters in the second week increased to more than 1,180. In the first four days, more than 4.6 million U.S. dollars were collected, and 5 million U.S. dollars in the three days of the second weekend.


    In the ten days it was released, such a film won more than 20 million US dollars in the box office in North America, which is barely a surprise.


    Although some tabloids talked about his relationship with Natalie, few people criticized this as a box office failure. After all, niche movies are niche movies, and they won¡¯t become a killer just because of the change of director and starring. The audience''s mainstream commercial film.


    There is a huge gap between the audiences of niche movies and mainstream commercial movies. The media are not fools, and they won''t be so stupid that they can''t even distinguish this situation.


    "Congratulations, Nat."


    After the new Monday arrived, Ryan did not go to Disney, hiding in Natalie''s bedroom, enjoying a rare free time, "You have become a box office director with tens of millions of dollars."


    Natalie, who was sitting on him, slowly shook her buttocks, carefully experiencing the ultimate happiness brought by friction, "Is it special? It feels very far away from 100 million US dollars."


    "Don''t forget, Nat." Ryan grabbed her slender waist and moved it a few times. Natalie pressed her hands down and pressed his chest, "Don''t move, we said it. "


    "Ok."


    Stopping the action, Ryan allowed Natalie to sway on it, continuing the topic just now, "A director who can get a box office of tens of millions of dollars in North America has the qualifications to gain a foothold in Hollywood."


    Like a large number of actors, Hollywood also has an infinite number of directors. Among them, they can get ten million dollars in the box office, just like actors who can become famous.


    As for the female directors, they are still active and can basically be counted by flipping through their hands.


    Suddenly, Natalie lay on his body, the brown eyebrows fell into a horoscope, and said pantingly, "Ryan, I have no strength, hurry up, send me up..."


    Ryan rolled over and pressed her down, but just a few tens of seconds later, Natalie''s extremely excited screams sounded in the bedroom.


    "You stay inside again!"


    When she was quiet Natalie bit his shoulder hard, Ryan pulled her cheek and kissed the mole, "Don''t you want to be a mother?"


    "I''m only 24 years old!" Natalie grinds her teeth. "Even if you want to, it''s not now."


    "Okay." Ryan shrugged, picked her up and walked towards the bathroom, and said clearly, "Your career has just started. You are not yet a mother, I understand, Nat."


    "I heard that China has sent you an official business visit invitation again?" Lying in the spacious bathtub, Natalie allowed Ryan to wash her smooth skin with warm water. "I remember you didn''t use Disneyland last year. Have you been there once as the chairman of the board of directors?"


    "This time it''s not just Disneyland." Ryan closed the water valve, jumped into the bathtub, and lay beside Natalie. "It''s a lot of cooperation. I have promised to go to China early next year."


    "It''s all about benefit." Natalie pointed to the essence.


    How could she not understand her lover, if there is not enough interest, he would change the schedule and run to the other side of the Pacific again? (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 697： Schizophrenia

    After taking a shower, Ryan hugged Natalie and fell asleep again. When she walked out of the bedroom, it was already noon. After eating a simple lunch made by Natalie, the two of them carried tea sets and fruit plates. The small garden of the villa.


    In Los Angeles in November, I didn''t feel the coldness at all. The sun was shining on people, and it was very warm and comfortable.


    Natalie went to the fitness room to change clothes, Ryan went back to the living room of the villa and took the briefcase sent by John. Although there is no need to go to the company, there are always some documents that need to be processed.


    Sitting at the table under the palm tree, Ryan casually snapped a pair of sunglasses, leaned against the back of the wicker chair, flipped through the documents in his hand, and when the sound of footsteps reached his ears, he looked up, Nata Li changed into neat sportswear, with a quiver on her back, and a retro recurve bow in her hand, and stepped onto the garden lawn with great vigor.


    "Hey, Nat." Ryan gave her a thumbs up. "You are so handsome!"


    "Thank you!" Natalie came over, took a red apple from the fruit plate, and threw it to Ryan, "Put it on her head!"


    After speaking, he drew a long arrow from the quiver behind him.


    "What are you going to do?" Ryan quickly put the apple back in the fruit bowl, "Honey, don''t even think about it, be careful I sue you for murder!"


    Shrugging her shoulders, Natalie took the arrow up, took a step forward, stood beside Ryan, bent her bow sideways, and aimed at the archery target fifteen feet away from the palm tree.


    "Swish! Swish! Swish!"


    The Long Island girl skillfully fired three arrows in a row. Accompanied by an aggressive sound, all three long arrows were nailed to the target, and one of them even hit the red heart.


    After shooting a group, Natalie took two deep breaths, and then three arrows in a row. This time, although no arrows hit the hearts, they were all above the fifth ring. Obviously since filming "The Hunger Games", she has not practiced much.


    "My dear." Ryan slapped his palm vigorously. "When filming "The Lord of the Rings", I should have asked you to play Legolas."


    "It''s only fifteen feet!"


    After shooting three more arrows, Natalie shook her right hand, untied the quiver, stood on the side of the table with the recurve bow, and sat on the chair opposite Ryan, "If the distance is increased to 30 feet, I will also There is no guarantee that you can hit the target."


    "Furthermore. When shooting..." She made a beautiful gesture, "The focus is on Katniss'' shooting posture, not on the target that the arrow hits."


    "It''s already pretty good." Ryan poured a cup of black tea and sent it to Natalie. "When the Lord of the Rings was filmed, the Orlando guy couldn''t even shoot a target fifteen feet away. How can I be more handsome when I spend all my time practicing archery."


    "But he is really handsome." Natalie held up the black tea, "Much better than your sloppy look."


    "Oh. Nat." Ryan picked up a strawberry and threw it to Natalie. "You are so sad to say that."


    "But I didn''t feel your sadness." Natalie''s eyes fell on the file Ryan put aside, and she asked curiously. "John just sent it? There is another emergency?"


    "It''s just daily work." Ryan picked up the document and handed it to Natalie, "Walt Disney has ended the global talent program and is preparing to be the selected champion. Called..."


    "Selena..." Natalie had opened the document and reminded, "Selena Gomez."


    "Yes. That''s the lucky girl." Ryan took a sip from his teacup and said unhurriedly, "Disney is going to tailor a season of "Boy Wizard" for her and several other potential young men and women. Magic comedy."


    "Ryan, don''t you think..." Natalie frowned slightly, "Disney''s star-making strategy is too cruel to these children?"


    "Yes?" Ryan didn''t care at all. "This is the choice of their parents. We didn''t force anyone."


    The people who forcefully pushed them on this road, except for Walt Disney, are more of their guardians.


    Shook her head, Natalie forced herself to stop thinking about this. When the person on the other side was over a decade old, she knew how to use profit to confuse people, and used profit sharing to win over a large number of people until those people delivered him As an adult, it is true that he can use almost all means when chasing benefits, but he never treats people around him with this standard.


    As long as he doesn''t treat himself and his family and friends in a profit-first manner, the others are just unimportant outsiders.


    Putting the stack of documents on the table, Natalie pulled out a wry smile at the corner of her mouth. Over the years, she has been affected by Ryan too deeply, and even many thoughts are approaching him, is it right? Someday, like him, will become a vicious woman with profit first?


    Regarding Natalie''s words, Ryan did not care, he would not change Disney''s star making strategy, because the past, present and future have all proved that this is a hugely profitable business plan.


    Besides, if those youth idols can resist the temptation, the transformation is not impossible.


    Hmm... It seems that Silly Face Na has a longer period of value preservation. Disney can include her in the same key target as Miley Cyrus, and people like Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, After the TV and movie "High School Musical" series, it is time to transform, which is basically of little value for Disney and can be completely abandoned.


    After resting for about ten minutes, Natalie retrieved the arrow and started the practice again. In the middle, Ryan also tried his skills a little. Unfortunately, he did not go through systematic training. The accuracy of the head was as bad as always, and he even shot it upside down. A blunt arrow flew directly into Scarlett Johansson''s house next door.


    Fortunately, the little fat girl went to Europe to promote "Hurricane Rescue", so there is no need to worry about accidental injuries.


    The two practised while chatting, and later it inevitably turned into a frolic between lovers, so that in the middle of the afternoon, Natalie pulled Ryan back to the villa, and her archery practice was changed to exercise in the gym.


    Although according to the plan, "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire" will not be released until 2007, but the filming work will restart in Australia in the first half of next year. There will be more action scenes belonging to Katniss in this film, just like the first filming. As before, Natalie started preparations early.


    She has developed a complete plan for bow and arrow, running, fitness and movement routines.


    "Dear."


    Ryan took the towel thrown by Natalie, wiped her sweat and jumped off the treadmill, and said to Natalie who turned to tidy up the dumbbells, "Boxing is actually a very suitable way of fitness for women."


    Natalie turned her head and looked here suspiciously.


    "This has been proven by many people." Ryan walked over and helped her wipe off the sweat dripping from her forehead. "The angels who signed with Victoria''s Secret mostly use boxing for fitness."


    "You know so much." Natalie pulled the towel and walked towards the lounge chair. "Ryan, if you are willing to be a punching bag, I don''t mind trying boxing."


    Ryan followed, sat next to Natalie, took one of her hands, and squeezed the small fist, "My dear, your fist is soft, you don''t have much strength."


    "Then you have to try it before you know." Natalie turned around and took two bottles of energy drinks from the cabinet behind, and plugged a bottle to Ryan. She took the initiative to change the subject, "The day before yesterday, Scarlett called to ask. Me, how is your script preparation."


    "Already have a general idea." Ryan knew she was talking about the script mentioned at the premiere, "I will sort it out as soon as possible."


    "You can talk about it." Natalie unscrewed her bottle, stuffed it into Ryan, and exchanged it for his hand. "What kind of story is it?"


    "I remember you learned ballet when you were a kid." Ryan still remembers the photos she saw in Natalie''s house.


    "Yes." The Long Island girl nodded. "You have seen many photos of my dancing."


    "This is a movie about white swan and black swan." Ryan said as simply as possible. "The heroine is a New York ballerina. She only dances in her life and is ambitious. She is looking forward to becoming The lead dancer of the troupe..."


    "This..." After listening to Ryan''s simple words, Natalie spoke slowly, "It doesn''t seem to be your usual style."


    What is Ryan''s consistent style? Perhaps only the woman hiding in Malibu to raise her fetus knows better than her that standard commercialization and assembly lineization, this kind of literary to distorted movie, is definitely not his favorite style.


    "My dear, as long as you like it Ryan didn¡¯t say anything later. Natalie in the past life understands that Natalie in this life will also understand that such movies and characters have always been Oscar¡¯s biggest Love, pain, self-harm, psychological distortion and schizophrenia, as long as the acting skills are above the standard, and then using other means to get nominated for heavyweight awards, it is not too difficult at all.


    That¡¯s right, what Ryan was talking about was "Black Swan", which sent Natalie to the Oscar for Best Actress in his previous life. To be precise, he didn¡¯t see many such movies. If the heroine is not Natalie, He doesn''t even go to watch this kind of movies at all. Can the so-called literature and art be expressed only by schizophrenia and mental distortion?


    This is one of the reasons why he dislikes literary and artistic films the most. When things turn countless times and return to an inexplicable starting point, mental problems become the magic weapon for victory, and all the problems of the film are no longer faced with mental problems. It was a problem, and the director justified himself easily.


    Schizophrenia... is really an indispensable way to solve the literary and artistic problems of the film''s flaws and logic.


    If this is the case, I am also schizophrenic. Anyway, such a movie is used to win prizes and to exchange benefits for my own women. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 698： The city of angels dancing with demons

    The weekend before Thanksgiving, the fourth episode of the Harry Potter series "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" held a huge world premiere, and the premiere location is no longer the location of the story in the United Kingdom, replaced by Disney in California. Adventure park, because during Thanksgiving, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter area in the park will officially open to the United States.


    The film¡¯s premiere location was placed inside the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it was screened in the open air. In order to promote the Harry Potter derivatives, Disney has gone to great lengths.


    This series is as strong as ever. It easily won the North American box office of 120 million US dollars in the first three days. Not to mention the already popular English market, even the Chinese region on the other side of the Pacific, because some members of Harry Potter participated. To promote the relationship between the premiere, the first Wednesday also received more than 39 million RMB.


    For an imported sub-ledger film, it is considered to be a very good box office in this era, and the Harry Potter series is becoming more and more influential in China. Even if pirated copies are flying all over the floor, derivatives can still be used for Switzerland. Enhe Disney brings certain benefits.


    In particular, Shanghai¡¯s Disneyland is about to officially start construction, which also has a Harry Potter area. The greater the influence of movies and books, the greater the help to the park in the future.


    In just ten days, the North American box office of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" reached 225 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was close to 500 million U.S. dollars.


    During Thanksgiving, Time Warner and The Walt Disney Group also remitted a huge sum of up to 220 million U.S. dollars to Ryan''s account.


    This is Ryan''s share of the Harry Potter series derivatives last year. Most of the copyrights of this series are in his hands. According to the agreements signed with Disney and Time Warner, he himself enjoys CDs, dolls, images, etc. Most derivatives share one-third of the profit.


    Once the Harry Potter industry chain is formed, it will become a huge money-sucking machine. In the past few years since the movie was released, not counting the share from the box office, the derivative series alone can bring him 200 million US dollars every year. About income.


    Even if there is no other industry, this long-term meal ticket is enough for him to live his life at ease.


    Of course, the money only went around in Ryan''s hands, and most of it was transferred to Boeing''s account. The coming-of-age gift he customized for his dear sister has been completed.


    Maybe it was just a joke at the beginning, or maybe even Taylor himself forgot, but Ryan will not forget his promise.


    After entering December, "127 Hours", which was released for four weeks, almost reached the end. After the box office barely exceeded 35 million US dollars, the screening theaters gradually fell to double digits, and the North American box office was increasing at a rate of several thousand dollars a day. The final box office will not increase much.


    In recent years, especially after the speed and freedom of information exchange have become higher and higher, a very common phenomenon has appeared all over the world. Movies praised by film critics and other professionals-such as "127 Hours "¡ª¡ªThe vast majority of the box office is terrible, and the worthless movies criticized by them are warmly welcomed by ordinary audiences, even without the recognition of important awards such as Oscars, they can easily produce world-class influence.


    In the words of film critics, it is that 90% of the audiences in the world are depraved, and only a small group of them are waiting for a small group of people to maintain a normal level of appreciation.


    Is this really the case?


    Ryan has long stopped considering this issue. In movies, he will always be on the side of most people.


    Although "127 Hours" still has an overseas box office, such a movie does not have much commercial operation value. What''s more, the box office share that can be recovered overseas is at most only about a quarter of the overall overseas box office, so in addition to the English-speaking area and Outside Western Europe, in most overseas markets, Disney has adopted the marketing method of selling out the screening rights.


    There is no doubt that the combination of Ryan and Natalie is the best sign, but the type of movie limits the copyright price. In South America, the Far East, Eastern Europe, Russia and the Arab world, Disney has recovered after nearly a month of negotiations. The US$20 million projection copyright revenue, plus the box office share in North America and English-speaking areas and the advertising sponsorship received in the early stage, is not much worse even if the cost cannot be recovered.


    What''s more, Ryan''s team is actively working on the awards season. Even if they can only get a few nominations, they can also increase their revenue from DVDs, video tapes, and TV broadcasts.


    Compared to Disney, Alan Ruston himself seems to have a greater harvest. He has become a well-known hero and outdoor sports expert in the United States. Two weeks after the film was released, he even signed a contract with Nike worth 500. Ten thousand dollars in sponsorship agreement.


    After "Argo" and "127 Hours", they often appear in front of Ryan. In addition to the screenwriters and new directors who are looking for opportunities, there are also some publishers'' personal autobiographical agents. They frequently recommend some to Ryan. Personal biography, I hope to get his favor.


    Not all autobiography have the value of being filmed, not to mention that most autobiographical films are niche films.


    Many of them wanted to get Ryan''s autobiographical authorization, but he refused all of them.


    What''s a joke, he is neither short of money nor fame, he is not yet 26 years old, and he is now an autobiography?


    As the award season approached, Ryan received invitations to many parties. At this time of the year, it is always the most active stage for many Hollywood celebrities. Charity parties, political fundraising parties, etc. emerge in endlessly, of course, in the greater Los Angeles area closest to the college. , The most is the canvassing party for various awards, especially Oscars.


    Now Ryan¡¯s vote is not only representative of himself, but even a weather vane. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the most influential judges in the college.


    Therefore, while he was in public relations, he naturally became the object of public relations for many crews.


    Unfortunately, those who invited him to the canvassing party did not know that Ryan''s habit is to vote with his feet on awards that have nothing to do with him or Disney.


    Because of a heavyweight award that can double or even multiply the worth of many actors, Los Angeles can now be described as a flurry of demons, walking on the road of Beverly Hills or Hollywood area, if you encounter people dressed in suits and ties, if If you inquire, more than 80% may be a broker of a brokerage company or a salesperson of a public relations company.


    These people, including those on Ryan''s team, have actually been on the psychological bottom line of the academy under the banner of free competition.


    As for the psychological bottom line of the college? Most people and even Ryan himself can''t tell, after all, the more aggressive the money offensive has been in recent years, the effect has become more and more obvious.


    In his view, as long as the college does not inform the media, the next year will not be as disgusting as the producer and investor Megan Larison of "The Hurt Locker" in the previous life, it means that the bottom line of the college has not been touched.


    Besides, as long as it is not too much, even if the academy wants to find a model to show its justice, it will never find him now.


    Think about the past lives, none of the people who were thrown in front of the media by the academy are figures with world-class reputation.


    In the words of the other side of the Pacific, that is to kill the chicken to show to the monkey, but the size of this chicken is really not too big. As long as the college shows this meaning, the public relations staff who jump up and down will definitely converge a lot.


    Regarding "Brokeback Mountain", Ryan didn''t intervene at all, and completely threw it to Flower Pictures. With Drew''s ability and connections, and Li Ang had similar public relations experience, and the college wanted to appease the continuous rise after the film was released. The **** community is bound to consider giving a heavyweight award.


    Ryan¡¯s team is dedicated to public relations for the nominations of "127 Hours" and Natalie. Not only did the 50,000 hardcover DVDs distributed to nearly 6,000 judges, even the ordinary staff who participated in the Oscars and the academy did not let it go. In addition, The commemorative tableware ordered from the Royal Appliance Factory was also shipped to Los Angeles and sent out as early as the DVD.


    In addition, champagne, red wine and Disney''s limited edition dolls are also ready.


    These gifts don''t look expensive, but they are exquisite and beautiful, as well as practical value. They can be said to be a weapon that touches people''s hearts.


    If two to three years pass, Ryan will take even bigger moves. After all, it is not the time when Oscars are completely reduced to a game of money and public relations, and some behaviors cannot be too aggressive.


    While working for the film¡¯s public relations, Ryan did not forget Taylor, because the film was released in December last year. Taylor can only participate in this Grammy Awards. Regardless of how many phonographs the final public relations can bring to the girl, she does it. The opening performer is already one of the winners of this Grammy.


    The affairs of Los Angeles are one after another. Although most of Ryan only needs to know, he feels a little tired, especially some high-end parties that must be attended. Even though he thinks this is normal social interaction, he has attended too much. After that, I can''t help but get bored.


    Of course Ryan knows very well that if you are an ordinary person, you can enjoy a peaceful life at any time. After standing at a certain height, the peaceful life will be gone.


    Fortunately, he can briefly leave the city of angels dancing with demons and go to a quieter place temporarily.


    With the passage of time, Nicole''s pregnancy became more and more obvious, and the lower abdomen gradually showed signs of bulge. She decided to go to a quieter place to rest. The beautiful scenery and far away from the hustle and bustle of Lanai is undoubtedly the best choice.


    Ryan accompanied her on the plane to Lanai. In addition to sending Nicole there, he also wanted to see the progress of "Jurassic Park 3" being filmed there. Spielberg repeatedly vowed to him. , The filming and special effects production are going on at the same time, and it will definitely catch up with the July schedule.


    The old man is the most famous fast shooter in Hollywood, and Ryan also believes he can do this.


    Before boarding the plane, Ryan received the revised "Transformers" script specially sent by Michael Bay. r1152

 Chapter 699： Changed script

    "This is the script for an investment of 150 million US dollars?"


    The crisp voice pulled Ryan''s eyes back from the window. Nicole threw the "Transformers" script on the table and held up her cup. "It''s too simple and thin, right?"


    "My dear." Ryan picked up the script and put it aside. "This is just a popcorn movie. Everything is for the war between Transformers."


    "Including you, the male protagonist?" Nicole tried to test the temperature of the water, it was probably a bit cold, and then put down the cup. Ryan hurriedly poured out the clear water in the cup and changed the water to a suitable temperature. "Yes, I too It¡¯s just a supporting role for Optimus Prime."


    "When I was young, I didn''t see you like Transformers."


    Maybe you can tell others if you like, but Nicole is different. Ryan immediately defended, "This is a kind of spiritual liking, not a pursuit of material possession."


    He can''t tell Nicole that this complex comes from a previous life, right?


    "You always have a lot of wrong reasons."


    Drinking the water in the cup, Nicole stood up, "I''m going to rest later, remember to call me when I''m almost in Hawaii."


    Watching Nicole walk into the rear cabin of the Boeing plane, Ryan''s gaze fell on the script of "Transformers".


    After years of running-in, Jenkins Pictures¡¯ screenwriting team can always understand his intentions well. The original script frame is the story of a Mansao high school student and his car. In addition to the cosmic background that must be explained in the previous plot, A considerable degree of simplification has also been made.


    But after he promised to play the leading actor, such an image was definitely not suitable. The script was sent back to Jenkins Pictures by Michael Bay to make necessary changes. Although it was still the story of a man following the car, it has undergone a lot of changes. Almost completely overturned the original identity of the hero and heroine.


    To be precise, this will be a story between a young man and a **** used car business woman and a Chevrolet.


    In addition to largely retaining the Pentagon''s first-line plot, the male protagonist has eliminated a lot of unnecessary characters. In order to reduce a lot of tedious foreshadowing for fun in the early stage, speed up the time of Optimus Prime''s appearance.


    The audience can see Transformers, and fast-paced movies are also in line with the trend of social development.


    Of course, Ryan has never acted in a comedy, even if it is an actor like him, it is also impossible to arrange all types of roles. The funny in the film can only be handed over to others, such as funny robots such as Chaos and Bumblebee.


    The plane landed at Hawaii International Airport on Oahu. Ryan and the others changed to a helicopter that had been waiting here and flew directly to Lanai.


    Although Lanai Island is now Ryan''s private domain. However, except for a few areas, tourists are not prohibited from entering and exiting, and after his and Nicole''s transformation, it is also one of the most famous tourist attractions in Hawaii.


    You know, there are more than two thousand residents on the island, and they must have a source of income. Tourism and pineapple farms are the main industries of Lanai.


    The helicopter landed directly on the tarmac of a manor with a Hawaiian style. Nicole briefly confessed to Ryan and her butler, Elsa, and went to the bedroom to rest. Ryan changed to an off-road vehicle and ran to the location where the crew of "Jurassic Park 3" was located.


    From late October, Spielberg led the crew to the rainforest on the southeast side of the island, and began a two-and-a-half-month location filming. In addition to the main creative staff, there are also two special effects teams of Industrial Light and Magic, which temporarily set up special effects studios on the island to cope with the filming of the crew.


    The off-road vehicle stopped outside the crew. As Ryan walked past, Spielberg was holding the microphone and coordinating the filming with a loud voice. A model of Tyrannosaurus that is basically close to the real scale and another model of Spinosaurus that are also close to the real scale are hung by several huge cranes, fighting each other as they advance and retreat.


    Although the model is extremely real, the action is extremely blunt. After all, this is just a model. To become a vivid dinosaur, it needs later technical modification.


    The shooting is more difficult, often after a short shot of more than ten seconds, the position of the crane needs to be re-adjusted.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    A blond little girl''s voice sounded crisply, and Ryan gently shook the little hand she stretched over, "It''s been a long time, Hannah, you seem to be taller again."


    "That''s because I live with dinosaurs."


    The little girl is not very old, but very smart. She pointed to the Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus who were still fighting, "These prehistoric monsters are so big, just looking at them I feel that I have grown taller."


    "They can eat people." Ryan laughed.


    Dakota Fanning has once again been favored by Spielberg after "World War", and will appear in the film as a little girl who lives alone on Dinosaur Island and survives tenaciously.


    This girl has experienced "The Hunger Games" and "World War" and is definitely the hottest and most spiritual girl star in Hollywood. Her smile and big eyes have conquered countless movie audiences.


    unfortunately¡­¡­


    Ryan shook his head, after all, it was difficult to get rid of the child star curse.


    "Hi, Stephen."


    The previous shooting came to an end for a while, and Ryan strode over, "It looks like everything is going well."


    Spielberg handed the microphone to his assistant and shook hands firmly with Ryan. "The progress is faster than expected. I am confident that I will end the location shooting on Lanai before Christmas."


    "The most difficult thing is the shooting of the imax scene." The old man held his glasses and pointed to the huge cameras hanging on the crane. "The imax3d equipment is too heavy and heavy, and each adjustment takes a lot of time."


    "Trust me, Stephen." Ryan looked at the cameras. "It''s all worth it."


    All together, there are about 20 kinds of lenses in the film that will use imax3d technology. For this era, this is already a huge investment and technological breakthrough. The previous life "Transformers 3" purely uses imax technology to shoot the clips. But it''s more than twenty minutes.


    This was a long break. After Spielberg finished his work, Ryan heard him talk about a lot of things in the filming and briefly exchanged some opinions.


    Just like "Jurassic Park 1", except for a small part of the plot that takes place at night, most of the shots will be during the day, and even at night, the pictures will be very clear.


    Those thick fog that can save most of the late-stage special effects production cost and are hated by the audience will never be blocked in front of the camera unless necessary. The main selling point of the movie is the real dinosaur. If you can''t even see the dinosaur, this way Can the film still attract viewers into the theater?


    Both Ryan and Spielberg are veterans of operating commercial films, and naturally understand this truth.


    Some expenses can be saved, while others cannot be saved. Otherwise, after the movie is released, don''t complain about the audience not paying for it.


    Ryan left without staying here for too long. With Catherine Kennedy and Spielberg in charge of the crew, there is nothing to worry about. The filming and special effects production are all smooth, and if nothing happens, it should be in time for next year. Summer file.


    What remains is that Disney and Universal Pictures have increased their publicity efforts.


    According to an agreement reached more than ten years ago, this film Ryan once again accepted investment from Universal Pictures. In this regard, his credit has always been very good.


    Today''s Universal Pictures is no longer the troubled Universal Pictures after being acquired by Vivendi. Last year, it officially merged with the National Broadcasting Corporation of the United States to form Universal Group. The largest shareholder behind it is General Electric. This veteran group holds 80% of the shares.


    General Electric, when it comes to market value, has long been no longer the world''s largest, but companies such as Microsoft cannot compare with its true influence on the United States.


    Perhaps the phrase that General Electric is dead and America is dead is a bit exaggerated, but it always reflects the importance of this company to the nation.


    In other words, Hollywood has also completely entered the era of giant competition. The box office of the film industry may be only tens of billions of dollars, but the derivative market is extremely large.


    Before Ryan left Los Angeles, there was also a large acquisition involving Hollywood. DreamWorks finally reached an agreement with Viacom, and Paramount Pictures officially purchased DreamWorks skg for $1.6 billion. Although this acquisition does not involve the DreamWorks Animation Studios, which has long been hacked, it announced that another company that challenged the traditional forces of Hollywood eventually ended in failure.


    After years of hard work, even the powerful combination of David Geffen, Jeff Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg could not break the rules of the game ruled by traditional Hollywood giants.


    When he returned to the manor and walked into the living room, Ryan saw Nicole in home clothes walking around, expressing Mo Min¡¯s strange little temper. Everyone was far away from her except Elsa, the housekeeper. of.


    "Hey, my dear." Ryan hurried over and pulled her to sit on the sofa. "What happened?"


    "Where have you been?" Nicole''s goal instantly shifted to him, "Why didn''t I see you when I woke up."


    "Didn''t I tell you?"


    The pregnant woman¡¯s temper is fickle, so Ryan had to say patiently, ¡°I went to visit Stephen¡¯s crew from the south ~ www.novelhall.com~ the "Jurassic Park 3" we invested in is being filmed there.


    "Is there?" Nicole frowned suspiciously, "I seem to have forgotten."


    "What the **** is going on?" Ryan turned to look at Elsa.


    Nicole has never been a good-tempered person, especially after pregnancy, but tantrums rarely target those servants.


    "The servants here don''t know that Nicole is pregnant." Elsa leaned into Ryan''s ear and whispered, "Nicole wants to eat fruit salad. They added some hawthorn in it."


    "Hawthorn?" Ryan was even more puzzled.


    "Hawthorn can accelerate uterine contraction..." Elsa quickly explained, "Eating too much may cause miscarriage."


    "Here are all replaced by our people."


    It is not only Elsa who came to Hawaii on the same plane, but also the people who took care of Nicole. "The people in the original manor, let them take care of the outside work." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 700： Blown into ruins

    The rolling waves gently licked against the silver-white beach, tumbling with playful splashes, the rising sun slowly crawled out of the horizon, and sprinkled a piece of golden. Against the backdrop of the rugged water, the private beach behind the manor became colorful. It is as dreamy as the fairyland Alice once set foot on, and as gorgeous as an oil painting.


    Crescent Bay, one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii, since the day Ryan bought Lanai Island, it has not been open to the public and has completely become his private beach.


    The silver-gray battery car parked in front of the beach. Ryan helped Nicole get out of the battery car, led her into the dressing room in front of the beach, helped her change her beach shoes, and then stepped onto the silver beach of Crescent Bay.


    In the few days when they came to Lanai, the two would come here for a walk every day after breakfast and dinner. The beautiful scenery of the sea and the sky has gradually calmed down Nicole, who has been unstable recently.


    "Am I annoying lately?"


    Walking on the edge of the turning of the sea, Nicole looked back at the footprints of the two left on the beach, and firmly took Ryan''s hand and asked, "Is he a bit temperamental?"


    "Why?" Ryan clasped her palm tightly and looked out at the sea in the distance, "You now have all the privileges."


    "I''m just a little nervous." Her beautiful blue eyes swept across Ryan''s face, "still a little anxious."


    "My dear." Ryan''s hand gently touched Nicole''s abdomen. "This will be a little guy as beautiful as a mother and as smart as a father."


    "Why not be as smart as mother and as beautiful as father?" Nicole stared deliberately.


    "In short, this is our angel." Ryan will naturally not argue over this kind of issue, "Our angel will have all the favors of God and the world."


    The sun climbed higher and higher, and the bright sunshine gradually became stronger. Ryan took a look at the time, pulled Nicole and turned and walked back, while taking out the phone from his pocket.


    "It''s almost time?" Nicole asked.


    "I guess Alison should have seen it."


    Ryan pressed Taylor''s phone number as he walked, and when he heard a familiar voice on the phone, he said, "Honey, happy birthday, did you see the present I gave?"


    "God!" Taylor yelled in excitement, "This world is crazy! You...the sixteen-year-old gift you gave me turned out to be a Boeing airplane!"


    "Don''t you like it?" Ryan laughed.


    "I like it!" Taylor''s voice was high and loud, "Of course I like it!"


    "But!" she said again, "It costs a lot to raise such a plane, I have to work hard to make money."


    "I will be responsible for all the expenses of the plane before you are eighteen." Ryan looked to the east, which is the direction of North America, "My dear, are you sure you want to spend your sixteenth birthday with your fans?"


    "Yes." Taylor said without hesitation, "I have been planning with the management team for a long time, so that it can narrow the distance between me and the fans, and it will be a great help for the upcoming new album."


    "That''s good, pay attention to safety."


    Nicole''s hand was placed in front of him at this time, and Ryan had no choice but to say, "My dear, Nicole wants to talk to you."


    After finishing speaking, he put the phone in Nicole''s hand.


    As one of the most important birthdays in life, Taylor did not spend her sixteenth birthday with relatives and friends, but chose her fans. Regardless of her previous life or this life, she is a leader among singers in terms of managing fans.


    Sixteen years old, although it is not an adult under the law, it means having more freedom and autonomy. The little girl who was crying at the Christmas Tree Farm in Pennsylvania has grown up completely.


    Life in Lanai is quiet and leisurely. Apart from handling some emails every day and occasionally going to the southeast to see the filming of "Jurassic Park 3", Ryan spends most of his time with Nicole, just like he said In that way, Miss Kidman now belongs to the privileged class.


    However, even far away from North America, Ryan is still paying attention to this hot Thanksgiving Christmas stall.


    The "King Kong" jointly created by Peter Jackson and Universal Pictures is undoubtedly the most eye-catching super production of the moment. This super monster made for the first time using motion capture technology is the most glorious and long-lived in the history of Hollywood movies. One of the stars.


    But the film¡¯s market enthusiasm is far lower than Universal Pictures¡¯ expectations. It may be too long for the film, or it may be that today¡¯s film industry has created too many monsters. The audience¡¯s enthusiasm for this remake does not seem to be particularly Big.


    The film¡¯s first week of box office of 50.13 million dollars seems to be good, but compared to the production cost of more than 200 million dollars, it is not much successful, and the last sentence of the film is not the plane that killed the monster, but the beauty. "Dead Monster" was rumored by many people as a joke, and was even described by many media as the product of Peter Jackson''s swelling to an unknown reason.


    Ryan also watched the movie with Nicole in a private theater. The long foreshadowing and slow pace of the movie are indeed not suitable for today''s fast-paced era, and King Kong, as the absolute protagonist, played too late, which is very easy. As a result, young audiences who are accustomed to fast-paced commercial films cannot watch it.


    Maybe those older audiences will have a special King Kong complex, but how many of the teenagers who are the main movie-watching group care about this complex?


    Compared to "King Kong", the movie released by Disney a week later is easier to please teenagers.


    Based on the adaptation of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Magic Wardrobe", the "Chronicles of Narnia" jointly created by Disney Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox was released in North America before Christmas. The North American box office of US$81.33 million in the first week of the film also proved This will be a successful film.


    Although like "King Kong", "The Chronicles of Narnia" was criticized by critics in a mess, but it did not hinder the popularity of young people. The film only took ten days to get more than 160 million US dollars in the box office in North America. , For a non-sequel movie, it has been very successful.


    Even two weeks after the film was released, Disney and Twentieth Century Fox announced that they would continue to work together to produce a sequel.


    For a commercial movie that can sell well, it¡¯s strange that the producer gave up the sequel.


    In other respects, Disney also has good news. After several months of see-saw negotiations, after Disney raised the offer to 1.5 billion US dollars, Netflix¡¯s shareholders and management put aside their final reservations, this online online film rental service. In the end, it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Walt Disney.


    At the same time, Disney also completed negotiations with Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Sony Columbia, Paramount Pictures, and Twentieth Century Fox, and obtained authorization for most of the excellent films in their library, and solved Netflix in one fell swoop. The most serious problem of insufficient content.


    Online and offline go hand in hand, Disney has further improved its industrial chain.


    Perhaps in this era, the benefits of this acquisition are still invisible, but within a few years, online video and film rental businesses will develop rapidly like other online industries.


    After spending Christmas with Nicole, Ryan returned to Los Angeles from Hawaii. After several months of preparations from the Autobot studio, "Transformers" has officially launched, and Michael Bay only decided for the film. It took three months to shoot.


    The focus of this kind of film must be post-production. As long as the shapes of Autobots and Decepticons were determined, the special effects production of Industrial Light and Magic kicked off.


    Although the cost of filming in California is relatively high, the crew chose Los Angeles as the main location. According to Michael Bay¡¯s coordination with the Pentagon, Edwards Air Force Base near the City of Angels will bear most of the U.S. military. In addition to a series of weapons and equipment, the Ministry of National Defense will also send Air Force personnel and SEALs to participate in the actual shooting of the shooting.


    Even the F-22 Raptor fighter jets that have not yet been installed in the US military will appear in Hollywood movies for the first time.


    In other words, the film is also advertising for the Pentagon.


    Ryan is a relatively late person in the crew. As early as mid-December, Michael Bay took the people to start filming at Holloman Air Force Base with one super explosion, one after another. This military base was completely destroyed from the footage.


    Those US military personnel who participated in the filming are okay. It is said that actors like Josh Duhamel, who participated in military training for more than two months, always change their underwear after each explosion scene.


    As the top group of directors shooting explosive scenes in Hollywood, Michael Bay did not adopt the method of replacing the explosive background in the post-green screen shooting. All the explosive scenes were shot on the spot. The props set up the background, often in a scene. After the play, it was blown to pieces all over the floor.


    This kind of shooting process is risky, but the shots produced are very visually impactful.


    Of course, it¡¯s not difficult to control the explosion scenes for a director who has filmed "Jedi Men", "Break in the Dead Island", "Peerless Catastrophe" and "Pearl Harbor", such as Bombshell, who is full of explosive scenes, and it is not difficult to control the explosion scene. After he temporarily got rid of the idea of ??transformation, he naturally wanted to make "Transformers" into a film with his strongest style.


    In the words of Michael Bay, he destroyed half of San Francisco in "Brave to Death Island", "Peerless Tribulation" destroyed an asteroid, "Pearl Harbor" destroyed the US Pacific Fleet, and "Transformers" How to destroy a few US military bases and half of Los Angeles.


    Ryan¡¯s first day into the crew was almost spent in crashes, smoke and explosions. Although there were some of his scenes, he spent most of the time running wild, although there was no line and too much preparation, and there was panic during the period. It''s not completely pretended.


    He is just an ordinary person who has never experienced a war. When explosions and crashes keep appearing behind him, there are occasional plastic fragments falling beside him, saying that he is not worried at all. It must be fake. R1152

 Chapter 701： The plot is simpler

    The filming of the film crew on the streets of Los Angeles was once blocked by the Los Angeles County authorities. These scenes were full of explosions and crashes. There was indeed a certain degree of uncertainty. Fortunately, after communication with Disney, the film crew obtained permission to shoot on the spot. , But it must be carried out under the supervision of the municipal government.


    "Change your mind! Change another way of shooting."


    After calling the crew to stop, Michael Bay jumped off the director¡¯s chair on the slide and walked to the other side of the street. After explaining to the props and fireworks crews for about fifteen minutes, he came to Ryan again, ¡°I¡¯m going to be there. Here we add a set of more impactful lenses."


    "no problem."


    Handing the "Fire Source" to the assistant next to him, Ryan knew that Michael Bay wanted to add shots temporarily, "Michael, you are the director."


    Maintaining and respecting the power of the director on the set is something that any qualified producer will do.


    "So, Ryan."


    Because it was a temporary addition, Michael Bay said carefully, "You take the fire source and run to the scheduled day of summer."


    Michael Bay took off his sunglasses, hung them in the pocket of his shirt, ran forward a few steps, turned his head and said, "Then an F-22 Raptor fighter in the sky fell down."


    "Let''s run together once."


    Ryan picked up the "Fire Source" and made a start gesture. After Michael Bay nodded, he ran towards the car model being erected by the props team. At a distance of about twenty feet, Michael Bey stopped first.


    "Ryan, after you run here." He turned his head and looked here, pointing to the three cars on the catapult plane, and said.


    "Starscream fell down and overturned the cars, blocking your way. Then Ironhide and the ambulance rushed from behind, and violently exchanged fire with Starscream, you ran past them in the chaos."


    "I see." Ryan knew that Michael Bay wanted to add more shots of battles and explosions.


    "Also." Bella exploded. Ryan followed him to the pyrotechnic group. He pointed to some rope thick with his thumb and said, "This is a detonating cord. There will be a lot of them on the ground during shooting. You must Go quickly and don¡¯t trip over them."


    This is the usual blasting props used in Hollywood, although the momentum of the explosion is amazing. But the power is not great, but Ryan also paid attention. After all, he was really bombed. Even if he didn''t suffer any injuries, it would definitely be uncomfortable.


    The shooting of an explosion scene is not only costly, but also very cumbersome. Just arranging the scene, it took nearly two hours. Fortunately, this kind of scene does not have high requirements for the actors'' acting skills. Otherwise, if the director shouts "cut", it is no less than a disaster for the crew.


    "Ryan!" Michael Bay shouted to him while standing behind the camera on the slide rail, holding a loudspeaker. "Are you ready?"


    With a thumbs up to that side, Ryan took the "Fire Source" from the assistant, took two deep breaths, and looked forward.


    "begin!"


    Hear Mike and Bey''s shout. Ryan swiftly avoided the two cars that turned over to the ground, and rushed towards the building not far away, the source of fire that could destroy mankind. He was held tightly in his arms.


    His speed is very fast, but in more than ten seconds, he ran tens of feet, seeing the target getting closer and closer, when he rushed to the door of a CT specialty store, Ryan raised his head and looked at the sky.


    Although there was actually only air there, he appropriately showed a slightly horrified expression after seeing Starscream, and stopped quickly.


    "Boom! Boom!"


    More than 20 feet ahead, three cars were overturned by Starscream, which did not exist in the filming. Fire and smoke rose up. Three GM-provided cars were flew out by catapult projectiles, and speckled sparks rushed up. sky.


    Holding the fire source tightly with one hand and covering his head with the other, Ryan turned his head and shouted to the back, "Ironhide! Ambulance!"


    After waiting for about three seconds, several places in the front and rear were detonated at the same time. The smoke and fire showed that the battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons had begun.


    "Ironhide! Ambulance!"


    The actor in this world is not a boring high school student. Ryan shouted into the air, "Cover me! Cover me and rush over!"


    After finishing speaking, he immediately rushed forward again, dodging a burning car on the side of the road, gradually speeding up, and at the same time swiftly jumping over the detonating cord arranged on the road.


    Ryan''s speed is getting faster and faster. Even if he doesn''t look back, he knows that wherever he rushes, fire and gunpowder have been exploded, and Starscream is chasing him!


    "Boom!"


    Just over twenty feet to his left, another car was bombed and flew into the air.


    Against the floating smoke, Ryan rolled on the black mat on the road, hid behind a small truck, panted a few times, and stretched out his head to look in the direction he came.


    Naturally, I can''t see the two robots that need to be added in the later stage, but explosions and fires are still appearing frequently. Cars flying, rolling or crashing, seem to prove the fierceness of this non-existent battle.


    The three cameras have been chasing Ryan, and now they are even closer to give him the biggest close-up.


    "Ok!"


    The explosion finally came to an end, and Michael Bay¡¯s voice rang out from the loudspeaker, "It''s over, it''s perfect!"


    Both the props team and the pyrotechnic team have cooperated with Michael Bay for more than a decade. The tacit understanding between the two parties is undoubtedly the help of Michael Bay, but it is also an obstacle to his transformation.


    It took him more than ten years to build a team with the best shots of explosions and impact. If he wants to transform, it means that the entire team must transform. The difficulty can be imagined.


    A successful director does not represent himself either. There is also a large and successful team behind him.


    "Ryan, great job!"


    Just as Ryan respected the director as much as possible on the set, Michael Bay returned with enough respect.


    "Michael." Ryan took a drink from the assistant, took a few sips, and said to the director''s chair, "Michael, we have ruined a street in Los Angeles."


    Although this is a bit exaggerated, the closed shooting of this street is really horrible.


    Even if no roads and buildings were damaged, the destroyed cars and the props ¡®tar blocks¡¯ that sprang up after the explosion are everywhere on this road.


    Don''t worry too much about this. The crew has already contacted a special cleaning company, and someone will enter this street at night to clean it up.


    "anything else"


    The female assistant that the crew played for Ryan took back the cup and asked, "Is there something to eat?".


    "dark chocolate."


    For this day''s shooting, Ryan basically ran around in the explosion, and felt that he needed to replenish his physical strength. "Take a few more dollars, thank you!"


    "I think white chocolate should be more suitable."


    Just sitting on the chair, Ryan heard a crisp woman''s voice from next to him, and when he turned his head to look, a tall woman in body shaping jeans walked next to him.


    "Hello, Ryan."


    "Hello, Miss Ambrosio."


    Ryan shook his stretched hand gently. This was the first time he saw the heroine of this film.


    "Just call me Colin."


    "Well, Colin." Ryan pointed to the chair next to him, "Please sit down."


    At this time, the female assistant came over with dark chocolate. After Ryan took it, she opened a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, "The amount of exercise we shot today is a bit large, and I need to replenish my energy."


    "I think white chocolate is more suitable." Alexandra Ambrosio said with a polite smile, "dark chocolate is too high in calories."


    Ryan was noncommittal about this, and the other party stood up after the assistant reminded him, "Sorry, I''m going to put on makeup."


    "Please." Ryan nodded.


    These Victoria''s Secret angels may not look so beautiful, but they have attractive figures and unusually photogenic looks. Most people often look like two in the lens and outside the lens, and these angels are enough to be attractive in the lens. A large vase for the audience.


    Hmm... This can be regarded as the biggest and even the only role of the heroine.


    The filming is still going on, Michael Bay will never stop if this street is not "destroyed" beyond recognition.


    A huge trailer drove into the street from the parking lot, and a m1a2 main battle tank provided by the US military was added to the shooting. Although all the tank shooting will be added in the later stage, this vehicle weighs more than 60 tons. The roar of the engine and the tremor of the road were still astonishing when the giant monster ran over the road that the crew had paved with a protective layer.


    The US military not only sponsored the shooting for free, but also provided many of the most advanced weapons and equipment.


    This combat-experienced tank also showed its ability to crush everything in the shooting. Faced with the surrounding of several cameras, it easily crushed the car arranged by the prop set into garbage. Limited to a series of conditions such as roads, with Michael Bay¡¯s personality and style, he would let this tank perform a combat shooting if not sure.


    Anyway, the greater the momentum and scale of the explosion, the more Michael Bay liked it, because it best met Ryan''s requirements for this film.


    This is a standard popcorn movie. It has nothing to do with connotations.


    The filming of the film proceeded in an orderly manner, because it was shot in downtown Los Angeles. According to the agreement reached between the crew and the Los Angeles municipal government, in order not to affect daily life and business activities, the final battle could only be shot on the weekend.


    When the weekend passed, the streets destroyed by the ¡®explosion¡¯ took on a new look and restored their original appearance, and the crew moved to a small town near Los Angeles to prepare for the film where the two human protagonists meet.


    Compared with the previous life, these have undergone tremendous changes, and the plot is simpler and thinner. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 702： This is Transformers, not T a thousand!

    During the busy shooting, the time has shifted to 2006. The arrival of the new year has no effect on the crew of "Transformers". Except for the plot used to film the final battle on weekends, most of the time, the crew has gradually shifted. More human scenes.


    In the small town of Pasadena, the crew rented a temporary parking lot and several nearby houses as a location for filming.


    In order to film the second-hand car scene here, General Motors provided the crew with nearly three hundred vintage cars, of which the vintage Camaro sports car incarnation of the Hornet is indispensable.


    As one of the main target models of the advertisement, Chevrolet under General Motors also specially created two conceptual Camaro sports cars for the crew. These two sports cars have unique attributes from parts to engines. Only four other sports cars with the same standard equipment will be on the market.


    Of course, the regular version of this sports car is not expensive, and Chevrolet itself is aimed at the youth market.


    Unfortunately, Ryan doesn''t have any special hobbies about cars, otherwise he will definitely make a unique Bumblebee.


    The actor he plays does not have a very special hobby for cars, but as a person who has just stepped into the society, like most American youths, he urgently needs a job to make ends meet, and he also needs a car to travel.


    A cheap second-hand car is undoubtedly the best choice.


    "The thirty-second scene, the seventeenth act." Michael Bay shouted himself, "Now!"


    Five cameras were set up in the parking lot at the same time to record this rivalry between the male and female protagonists from all angles.


    "Michela!"


    The owner of the second-hand car dealer saw Ryan walking into the parking lot and shouted to his daughter, "A customer has come."


    Then, a pair of straight and attractive long legs stepped out of the room first, and Alexandra Ambrosio, dressed in a tight-fitting shirt and shorts, walked towards Ryan.


    "Hi, can I help you?" She greeted Ryan, "You seem to be familiar."


    "I live near here. I just moved here." Ryan walked to a car and patted the rusty roof hard, "I need a car."


    "That''s a Citroen made in 1985."


    Although acting is not very good, but a long-term modeling career, Alexandra Ambrosio knows how to show her figure in front of the camera, "You can drive away for only six thousand dollars."


    "Six thousand dollars?" Ryan shook his head and immediately moved away from the broken car that seemed to fall apart at any time.


    He walked along the old cars in a row, and the price offered by the shrewd woman beside him was unacceptable.


    Ryan didn''t stop until he approached an old-fashioned Camaro sports car. This car looked very old, but with the coating of a racing car, it was more attractive than other cars.


    "How much is this car?"


    As he said, he pulled the car door and sat in. The cameraman who had been lying in the back seat immediately propped up his body, and a close-up of the sign on the steering wheel that wiped the dust on Ryan came.


    "Five thousand dollars!"


    After the **** beauty outside reported the price, she seemed a little confused, and muttered in a low voice, "Why don''t I remember this car?"


    "Hey, that..."


    "Sam." Ryan got out of the car.


    "Sam, what do you think?"


    The saleswoman seemed to be very experienced, walking around showing off her two long legs, "Sometimes it is not the driver who chooses the car, but the car who chooses the driver. This is the fate between humans and cars."


    She walked to the front cover of the car and made a very **** pose, "Look, when you walked here, you fell in love with this car, this is the only Camaro racing car, you go to other markets , Absolutely can''t buy!"


    "Look, there are racing stripes on this car. I can guarantee that it has participated in national-level events!"


    "How much?" Ryan asked.


    "Five thousand dollars!"


    "Up to three thousand dollars!"


    "Please stay away from my car!" The woman walked over and closed the car door.


    "Hey, miss..."


    "Michela." The woman looked very individual.


    "Miss Michaela."


    For the male protagonist who has just stepped into the society, the other party seems to be very difficult to entangle, "You just said that the car chooses the driver."


    "No car would like a stingy driver!"


    "Cut!"


    Michael Bay¡¯s voice rang from behind the camera, "Miss Ambrosio, can I have a little more expression?"


    In the past few days, this situation often occurs. Although Michael Bay¡¯s requirements are not high, the other party is not a real actor after all. Compared with the various styles of showing off his body, the facial changes during the performance are naturally much worse. .


    For this reason, Michael Bay even deleted many lines of the heroine, making the character who was originally a vase completely transformed into a super vase that is even more dispensable than in previous movies.


    Of course, when the heroine appears in the camera, the camera spends most of the time capturing the **** figure and beautiful legs of Alexandra Ambrosio. In commercial productions, the pure vase heroine is the most popular in the audience. Love to hear things.


    Perhaps Alexandra Ambrosio does not look too beautiful in reality, but it is indeed very photogenic. Ryan and Michael Bay are very satisfied with most of the shots that have passed, and they have played a role in embellishing the film.


    This is enough. Can we ask for more from a Victoria''s Secret angel?


    It took a full morning to shoot the shots of the car dealership. At the end of the filming, the crew detonated the window glass of all used cars, and the debris flying all over the sky looked spectacular, even if there was no fire or smoke. Explosion, in the hands of Michael Bay and his team, also played like a fire.


    Because it¡¯s been a while since filming on location, coupled with the spread of Disney¡¯s promotion, more and more media and reporters have appeared around the crew since the New Year. They, like all paparazzi, will seize every opportunity and listen. The progress of the film and inside information, in order to get exclusive.


    During the transition at noon, a few persevering reporters stopped in front of Ryan. The microphones and recorders they sent over included the words TV station and Disney Family Online. Facing their own media, Ryan still said A few sentences so that Disney¡¯s promotion plan can be better carried out.


    "Mr. Jenkins, can you tell me the purpose of making "Transformers" into a live-action movie? Similarly, the Disney reporters also know what to ask, "There are a lot of news that you like this series very much?"


    "Yes, I like this series very much." Ryan nodded without hesitation, "I liked this series of cartoons very much when I was a kid."


    "As for why a live-action movie version is made."


    He continued, ¡°I feel that in the history of filmmaking for so many years, a truck has never been shown on the screen as a 20-foot-tall robot. I also want to make a work that pays tribute to the classic cartoons of the past. Out of Hollywood¡¯s imagination that has been lost for many years. There are many moments in the movie that have touched us, even people over 30 years old, when they see the movie, they still feel like a 10-year-old child opened their eyes."


    "But there are a lot of people criticizing..."


    A reporter who didn''t know which newspaper later took out several conceptual design drawings of Optimus Prime released by the crew. "Such robots have no sense of reality. Their slender and slender bodies cannot bear their weight at all."


    "Who said they were robots?" Ryan opened his hands and said, "They are mechanical lifeforms! They are like human beings with thoughts, feelings, hobbies, and dislikes. They should have the same beauty as humans. Streamlined body."


    Ryan emphasized, "Remember, they are not the bulky and boxy robots made of steel by humans. If they are really designed to look like clumsy robots, they will look both false and boring, because they are not like aliens. On the contrary, the intelligent life is like a low-quality robot product produced by the Japanese."


    In the past few months, Industrial Light and Magic has been designing and producing computer animations of Transformers deformation. They carefully compared every detail on the car model. At first, the deformation process they designed followed the laws of physics, but this The result is that it looks neither stimulating nor smooth enough


    For such a movie with special effects as its main selling point, this is simply a fatal injury.


    Later, Industrial Light & Magic proposed to use liquid metal on the surface of King Kong''s characters, but Ryan refused. He only replied to Industrial Light & Magic-this is Transformers, not t1000!


    In the end, Industrial Light & Magic chose the ¡®Magic¡¯s Cube¡¯ style that completely abandons the laws of physics, so that no matter whether it is static or dynamic deformation, Transformers will look more interesting, real, dynamic and fast, rather than clumsy beasts.


    An important decision in the process of industrial light and magic special effects is to keep the wheels in contact with the ground for as long as possible, so that the robot can keep moving while deforming so as to maintain the basic sense of reality.


    Ryan¡¯s opinion was unanimously approved by Michael Bay, and both of them knew the selling point of the movie. The boxy, thick and bulky Transformers was a disaster for such a commercial science fiction film.


    He also specifically asked Tiger Chen to collect two free fighting performances and a number of videos of action movies that incorporate judo, Muay Thai and other fighting methods, and provide them to the special effects animators of Industrial Light and Magic for observation, in order to show the fighting scenes in the movie. Go up more beautifully.


    In addition, before Michael Bay became a film director, he directed many car commercials. He knew how to make the mechanical life closely related to the car appear more real. The ray tracing method he proposed also received industrial light. The unanimous approval of the devil.


    Similar to the literary drama between the male and female protagonists, it is not the type that Michael Bay is good at, and he will not put too much energy into it. After ending the scene of Sam and Michaela¡¯s acquaintance, the crew once again moved to the base of the US military. Start shooting hot explosion shots.


    However, Ryan has to leave the crew first. He has long promised to the other side of the Pacific, and this month he will visit Disney as the chairman of the board of directors. r1152()

 Chapter 703： Eternal interest

    In all, this is Ryan¡¯s second visit to China as the chairman of Disney¡¯s board of directors. Although this time he came to the capital, not Shanghai in the south, the two visits were only a year apart. The frequency is relatively high among several major business groups in North America.


    With the development of time, China''s potential as the world''s No. 1 market has been fully demonstrated. In recent years, senior personnel from North American business groups such as Goldman Sachs and General Motors have also frequently appeared in this country.


    Ryan and The Walt Disney Group have major interests here.


    Even last year, Walt Disney''s Far East branch headquarters and Greater China headquarters were all moved from Hong Kong to Shanghai.


    Ryan is very clear about the potential of this market, and he can''t take it seriously.


    As long as there are enough benefits, let alone running once a year, even once a month, he and Disney''s senior executives will not mind.


    This is an official business visit. After Ryan arrived at the Capital International Airport, he was warmly received by the business department here. After a series of official procedures, he saw what he could only see on TV in his previous life the next day. Four. Eighty-six.


    To paraphrase the words of the official media here, the two sides held warm talks in an atmosphere of enthusiasm, friendship, equality and mutual benefit, imagined the prospects for future cooperation, and reached numerous consensuses. This was a successful, complete and win-win situation. business meeting.


    In other words, just like a political meeting, this kind of media-oriented business talks between the two parties are mostly just clich¨¦s and nonsense.


    With so many experiences over the years, Ryan is no longer a simple-minded, passionate young man in his previous life. He knows very well that if there is no interest as a bond, the so-called friendly cooperation between the two parties is nothing more than a flower in a mirror and a moon in the water.


    As the actual controller of Disney, Ryan is more like a mascot. Under the premise of grasping the degree, he showed the Walt Disney Group''s friendship and enthusiasm for China, even if these must not confuse those elite vested interests. But as long as ordinary consumers are willing to buy it.


    But in private, he brought the business team. In the undisclosed business negotiations with this side, I was not very polite. Several times, I pointed out that the copyright protection of the other party was not good and even condoned piracy, which caused the numerous cooperation plans between Disney Group and Chinese companies to produce irreparable losses.


    It even lists a series of Chinese companies that have pirated Disney''s copyrights.


    Although Ryan understands that these may not bring fundamental changes, some things are better than nothing. The cooperation between the two parties is based on a win-win situation, and Disney is indeed here for money. But I don¡¯t mind being behind the enthusiasm and friendship, showing the tough side of a number of media groups in the world.


    Besides, in the past few years, the two sides of the ocean have done nothing less than others. However, after Ryan became the head of Disney, he strictly restrained the media, including TV stations, and basically never targeted this. The remarks made by Bian, presumably the leaders here are also very clear about the necessity of having a good relationship with a super media group that is fairly friendly to China.


    In fact, to put it plainly, the cooperation between the two parties is mutually beneficial. This is the basis of everything.


    There are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends in this world, only permanent interests.


    Perhaps this sentence is inappropriate to describe the relationship between people. But it is the criterion for cooperation between interest groups and interest groups.


    Therefore, apart from the formal meetings, Ryan does not mind facing the Chinese media show in Chinese. The Disney Group has also made sufficient preparations for his trip. For example, he specially produced a "Disney and China". The documentary was successfully broadcast on the national TV station here.


    Along with this limited-length documentary, Ryan also accepted an exclusive interview with this TV station. Combined with the documentary footage, he personally explained the relationship between Disney and China. According to him, China is definitely Disney except North America. The most dependent and trustworthy partner, the relationship between the two parties is deep. It can even be traced back to the 1930s.


    "Since 1930, Disney has had close ties with China."


    Surrounded by many cameras, Ryan used almost standard Mandarin to talk about the "friendly relationship witnessed over time" between Disney and China. "On February 8, 1938, Disney¡¯s first animated feature film was also The first color animated feature film in the history of American cinema, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", premiered in Shang Hai, which is also the first place in Asia to show a Disney cartoon."


    "Is this true?" the hostess sitting opposite asked in cooperation.


    "These are all recorded by Disney in the history of the company''s development." What Ryan said is the truth, and you can find it by checking it later. "The premiere in Shanghai was only a few months later than in North America, even in the 1940s. Now it belongs to Captain America under the Disney banner, and his first movie was screened in China."


    "Should it not be called "Captain America" ??at the time?" The hostess showed a curious expression.


    "I can''t remember how it was translated at the time." Ryan said with a smile, "In short, it is probably a name like "Invincible Detective"."


    The two sides talked a few words, and the topic was back on track.


    "When it comes to Disney, Chinese audiences must think of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck first." Ryan pointed to the two classic animated characters on the big screen behind. "In 1986, Disney officially signed an agreement with China Central Television. Mouse and Donald Duck entered Chinese TV screens, and then Disney¡¯s animation products entered Chinese stores."


    On such occasions, Ryan naturally did not mention the issue of piracy. "I don¡¯t know if you still remember. In the mid-1990s, there was a program called "Little Dragon Club" which was broadcast on many TV stations in China. It was owned by Disney. A program produced by a TV station."


    "It turned out to be unknowingly." The hostess chuckles, "I have also watched many shows belonging to Disney."


    "But..." she said again, "When you talk about Disney, you have to say "The Lion King". If I remember correctly, the script and the main characters of this animated feature film are all made by you? You are still a child of Xin Ba dubbed and sang the theme song?"


    "Yes." Ryan nodded, ""The Lion King" entered the theaters of China as early as 1995. Two years ago, the "Lion King" had an ice world tour in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Performed."


    "I remember this, I went to see it live." The hostess is a smart person.


    "Since 1996, Disney has established an official branch in China." Ryan continued to close the relationship between Disney and China. "Later, we established the first Chinese branch in Hong Kong. Disneyland, last year signed an agreement with Shanghai, and the construction of the second Disneyland is about to officially start. In addition, we also hired Mr. Zhang Zhizhong as Disney¡¯s first managing director in Greater China."


    The Disney that people here used to know may only appear on the shelves, movie screens, and TV shows in a scattered manner. It may not be a big company with a market value of close to 80 billion U.S. dollars. In fact, this company is like Most Chinese audiences today imagine much bigger.


    In addition to the "Disney and China" documentary that Ryan personally narrated, after the show, he also signed a cooperation agreement with China''s national television station on behalf of Disney. Several channels, led by the movie channel, received many Disney movies or cartoons. Broadcasting authorization, although Disney only charges a symbolic copyright fee, it is a necessary means of promotion. The other party is still a well-deserved leader in the media industry in this era.


    There is no market without publicity, and Ryan knows this very well.


    Also, Disney Nature Channel, a subsidiary of Disney, will cooperate with their documentary department to jointly produce two documentaries, namely "Born in China", which introduces some wild animals and natural landscapes living in China, and in the introduction. "China on the Bite of the Tongue" of Chinese cuisine.


    The latter is of course Ryan''s idea, and these are just part of a series of cooperation plans during this trip to China.


    In the next ten years, China will inevitably become the world''s largest economy. This huge market is equally important to Disney''s industrial layout.


    In fact, in the past few years, apart from the film and television industry, Disney has infiltrated various industries in China. Many agreements signed by Ryan during this trip are the result of long-term public relations negotiations.


    Most of these are concentrated in the booming consumer goods business. UU Reading Disney has spread all the categories of life that Chinese consumers may need in the form of brand authorization.


    Stationery and clothing with patterns such as Mickey Mouse and Buzz Lightyear appeared in many stores in China. From authorizing Lianzhong Stationery to develop Mickey and Princess series of student supplies, to Disney''s establishment of Disney Pictures Far East Development Co., Ltd. in Shanghai The company, from Disney and''ct'' Treasures of Nature launched children''s candy in China to the upcoming construction of a theme park in Shanghai, and this time the cooperation with national television...


    Disney is improving its industrial layout in China in a fast and stable manner.


    Among them, the Shanghai Disneyland project is very important. Theme parks mean hotels, shopping areas, DVDs, games, derivatives and more. This opens a larger window for Disney to enter China further, even a " shortcut".


    In addition, Disney will try the model of direct sales in several first-tier cities in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, and cooperate with KFC, McDonald¡¯s and large department stores in China to sell its own products. Disney will also sell its own products for Winnie Winnie and many other toys. Cooperate with Chinese companies to develop new product lines and put these relatively low-cost products into these channels. (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 704： Priority introduction

    Since he will only stay for less than a week, Ryan''s itinerary is quite close. After receiving an exclusive TV interview, he returned to the film industry and participated in the first China-US Film Summit.


    This forum has been prepared for more than a year, and it was also led by Ryan, but the shrewd Hollywood will not miss this opportunity to further develop the Chinese market. The forum summit can be held smoothly. Five other traditions besides Disney The forces have also made a lot of efforts.


    Ryan participated in this forum accompanied by Wang Zhongjun. The first session was hosted by the Chinese side and will go to Los Angeles next year. If it can continue, this forum will be held in rotation in the future.


    Originally, after Ryan sat down, he saw the famous directors and celebrities in his previous life still have some interest, but this interest quickly disappeared completely. Except for a few routine words, he went from beginning to end. In the end, no comments were made.


    The reason is very simple. The organizers turned this non-governmental professional forum into a pure hodgepodge. That''s all, they even charge entrance fees!


    Regardless of whether they are in the film industry or the surrounding industries, they can buy tickets for the forum for only 200 US dollars, and the tickets for the dinner after the forum are even more sold by them for 3,000 US dollars!


    After the forum, Ryan unceremoniously rejected the invitation to the dinner party from the host China Film Association.


    Are you kidding me, these guys are just crazy for money, don''t they think that the so-called ¡®Film Development Fund¡¯ that earns a 5% box office commission for each movie hasn¡¯t fed them?


    Perhaps this is customary, but Ryan will not be so stupid as to act as a tool for others to accumulate money.


    He also did not expect that the China-US Film Summit, which he had contributed to the first session, would become such a mess and confusion.


    Back at the hotel, Ryan threw this trivial matter behind his head, let''s talk about it. Even in North America, this situation is not uncommon.


    China¡¯s film industry was in chaos, before Hollywood developed. Also experienced the stage of chaos.


    Compared with these, Ryan considers more about how to obtain more benefits.


    Now this age. Quite a lot of Hollywood commercial productions in North America accounted for only about one-third of its global box office, while the North American market has been relatively saturated, so the international market will be the main room for growth in the future, the huge potential of the Chinese market is exactly what Hollywood seeks The main reason for cooperation.


    Although Ryan has left, Disney and other Hollywood companies will also have people attending the party. The reason is simple. Capital will never go against the interests.


    The film industry in China also needs Hollywood.


    Hollywood needs China¡¯s market, and China¡¯s film industry needs Hollywood¡¯s talent and technology. The future of such cooperation is that both parties can benefit from it. If the Chinese film market is raised from a relatively low level to a relatively high level, then Hollywood will gain more business from the cooperation between the two parties. income.


    Because Ryan united many media groups to exert pressure and other aspects, the China-US WTO Agreement on the film industry has changed a lot from previous times.


    At present, there are three main ways for Hollywood movies to enter the Chinese market. One is to import split-book films. Hollywood¡¯s split-book ratio is 20%, but only 20 parts of the film and 14 special split-book films are imported every year. quota.


    The second type is imported buy-out films, that is, China Film Group buys out the film''s screening rights from Hollywood studios at a fixed price, and Hollywood manufacturers do not participate in China''s box office share.


    The third type is Sino-US co-production. Movies produced in this way can enjoy a box office share of about 43% as with domestically produced movies.


    On the previous China-US Film Summit, the mountain sculpture of the China Film Group. I specifically mentioned the co-production model between China and Hollywood, but Hollywood filmmakers, including Ryan, did not have much interest in this.


    It is not ten years later, and the conditions for co-production are far from mature.


    Although there are many things that are not visible in Hollywood, relatively speaking, North America has very complete entertainment laws and professional lawyers, overseas market pre-sales, third-party completion guarantees, production process requirements, and various labor unions and legal guarantees. Most of these have very clear relevant laws or industry regulations.


    But now the Chinese film industry does not have so many links, although relatively speaking, the cost is relatively low. But it also means a huge risk.


    Besides, in 2004. A certain bureau has just promulgated the "Regulations on the Management of Chinese-Foreign Co-production Films", in which the conditions for co-production are extremely harsh. For example, it is necessary to hire Chinese creative personnel, and require at least one-third of the main actors to be Chinese actors, filming in China, and so on.


    This is definitely not acceptable to the current mainstream Hollywood filmmakers.


    Although this approach is unacceptable, Ryan knows that there is still a shortcut to take, that is, priority introduction. After all, there are so many import quotas here every year.


    How can we give priority to the introduction?


    It is necessary to include a proper amount of Chinese and Chinese elements in the film. The film cannot meet the strict standards of co-production, but it is considered on this road. This kind of film is likely to be introduced first.


    For example, in the filming "Transformers", in addition to the actress with the surname Gao starred in some of the supporting roles, it will also be shot in the Xinzhong. National City in Los Angeles to show some Chinese culture, although it will not be special. Many, but the film, like the Harry Potter series with Chinese actors, was listed as a priority for introduction by China Film Group as early as last year.


    It may not be obvious now, but within a few years, Hollywood will become very sensitive to China and will systematically study the needs of the Chinese market to understand what Chinese people want to see.


    Because he had to go south to Shanghai to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of Disneyland, and to sign a cooperation agreement on behalf of Disney and Oriental Entertainment Media Group, Ryan had only the last day of his trip in Beijing. He first went to each other at the invitation of China Film Group in the morning. The company briefly visited, and in the afternoon went directly to the Beijing Film Academy to participate in the last activity here.


    Like most celebrities from North America visiting China, Ryan received an invitation to speak, but he chose the industry he is currently engaged in.


    Like most of these widely watched speeches, Ryan¡¯s agent had communicated with the school in advance. He was only visiting China as a businessman and film practitioner. He hoped that the speech would not involve too much political issues. He also believes that Chinese schools can restrain students who are selected to participate in speeches.


    Only before walking into the auditorium did Ryan discover that it was Chen Jiazheng who acted as the moderator temporarily.


    "Chen, why are you here?" With time and distance, the connection between the two parties has long since become as close as it used to be.


    "There is no chance to pick up the guide tube." Chen Jiazheng quickly whispered a few words, "So, I chose to be a teacher."


    The reality is always helpless, and Ryan also knows this, and did not say much, as the crowd walked into the auditorium and sat on the big stage.


    There was enthusiastic applause. Chen Jiazheng took the microphone, and when the voice fell, he said, "Today we have invited the famous Hollywood movie star, producer and chairman of The Walt Disney Group, Mr. Ryan Jenkins!"


    "Ryan, please!"


    "I can speak fluent Chinese."


    Picking up the topic, Ryan stood up and looked down. The huge auditorium was full of seats. Although the number of people could not be estimated, all the seats were definitely filled. "I believe this will be more conducive to our communication."


    The students below first burst into goodwill laughter, and then replied with warm applause.


    "Dear teachers and classmates..."


    The applause gradually died out, and Ryan went directly to the topic, "I am very honored to receive an honorary doctorate from this world-class film and television school."


    Just before entering the auditorium, Ryan accepted an honorary doctorate from the school, saying that this was his first honorary degree. The schools in North America were simply too stingy in this regard, such as his alma mater, South Canada. At the Great Film Academy, he is only a well-known alumnus and an ordinary graduate so far.


    "This is a prestigious school with a long history. Many famous filmmakers have been born here."


    Anyway, there is no charge for polite talks, and it can further narrow the distance between Disney and China. Ryan naturally has no pressure to say, "The theme I am talking about today must be related to the film industry."


    There was enthusiastic applause again, and Ryan stood on the podium without any manuscripts at all, and continued, "Actually, this is what I do best."


    "Frankly speaking, I really hope that I will always be a student of the film school and be able to work in this industry forever I can make different movies, experience different roles, go to different places in the world, and experience different experiences. Story, I hope to use movies to learn life, and also to learn from myself. Shooting movies is actually a process of continuous learning."


    "But shooting a movie is like doing other jobs. There will be success, and there will naturally be failure. Presumably everyone doesn''t want to fail in themselves or in the works they participated in?"


    "So, what type of movie is now monopolizing the production and sales of Hollywood? Disney! Yes, it is Disney''s production!"


    Ryan did not let the people below think, and said directly, "2004 has just passed, and many data have not been fully calculated, but I can tell you that six of the ten most popular movies in the United States last year were all Disney movies. Among them, "The Hunger Games" also set a North American box office pre-sale record.


    "Maybe everyone has no intuitive impression." Ryan took a few steps and sat back in his chair. "X-Men, "Smiths", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" , These are all movies produced by Disney and its subsidiaries."


    "Why is Disney''s film successful?" (to be continued) ()

 Chapter 705： Difficulties facing the worlds film industry

    "Because Disney is creating a movie with heart, to create a movie, you must first determine where the heart of the movie is. This is the most important thing."


    Although these words contain a lot of water, what Ryan said is indeed what Disney¡¯s film creators are doing, ¡°It¡¯s not easy to put your heart in a movie. You have to start this very early. Work, it¡¯s like the foundation of a building. You can¡¯t build a tall building without a foundation. The heart and emotion of the film are the foundation. Emotion comes from the transformation of human characters¡¯ experience. This is called the role arc.¡±


    This kind of professional terminology, the following people certainly have no problem understanding.


    "Characters usually appear in a basic image, but at the end of the story, they will change and become a better person, usually mixed with very positive information. This is what we have to sculpt from the beginning. The character will change, the story Will change, action scenes and humorous elements will change, but the heart of the film is the core."


    "For example, we can make a deliberate superhero movie and turn it into an animated film with Disney characteristics instead of a superhero movie with a surprise style."


    It seemed that the idea was good. Ryan paused and continued, "This is a Disney animated film, just adapted from a surprise work. This is what makes this film special. Then we will add dazzling action scenes and wonderful Smile, the picture of the film will also be very beautiful. We use the latest rendering technology, which gives the film a brand new look and feel, but the most important thing is its plot and emotion."


    "And these will be the basis for the success of this film."


    Ryan remembered this sudden burst of thought in his heart, perhaps this will be a new cooperation model between Disney and Marvel.


    "But this is just the basis."


    After entering this industry for so many years, Ryan can be said to be deeply insightful, "and the technology you have learned is a necessary condition for turning the foundation into success."


    "Many people will question whether we will ignore the human aspect if we learn too much technology. Whether we will ignore how to tell stories, I think the two aspects are not contradictory. Movies are about technology and stories, and about technology and imagination. Combination of the two aspects of strength."


    Ryan warned the students of the film school, "After we learned all the techniques in the film school. Always remember that movies are stories about humans. Movies are human. Movies use your heart to communicate with the audience."


    "As for how to communicate, it will directly affect the success or failure of the film."


    There is no noisy sound below, "I¡¯ll talk about some of my own experience. One is to tell an interesting story, so that the audience can sit still and can¡¯t guess it, so that they can¡¯t wait to know the follow-up development; the other is to use Unforgettable charismatic characters promote this story. Charm is the key; the third is to put this story and character into a credible world, no need to be realistic, just make the story believable, this is our movie Different from other people."


    "and also!"


    "Filmmaking must be temperate! Respect for film language, production guidelines, and three-act structure, this is very important to film practitioners!"


    "The audience is accustomed to certain perceptions of the movie, and we help them to integrate into it. We don''t have to let them consider the production, technology and techniques of the movie. We hope that when the lights are dimmed, the audience will be completely brought into the story. I didn¡¯t think about anything before. This is our goal. All we do is to make the audience happy. This is our business and this is our satisfaction."


    "Therefore. We have to dig out stories that have never been seen before and resonate with the audience. Even if it is to let the audience see the subject that they are familiar with, we have to show it in a way that they have never seen before, and show them a story they know but never saw The world passed by..."


    Applause in the auditorium suddenly sounded like a tide. Ryan''s words obviously resonated with many people. The applause rang for several minutes, and it didn''t stop until Ryan took a few shots on the microphone.


    "Finally. I am very happy that I have become a practitioner in the film industry."


    This is the most water-free words of all Ryan¡¯s speeches, ¡°If you go to the electronics industry. Many electronic products have a lifespan of about three years. After five years, they are basically a pile of scrap iron. But if you make a good movie , Its lifespan..."


    "It''s eternal!"


    After speaking, Ryan turned off the microphone.


    All the people stood up and applauded for him. The last words were in the hearts of those who are about to enter the film industry.


    The speech is over. Like all the speakers, there will be an exchange activity afterwards, which is actually to answer some questions.


    "I hope everyone will not raise some tricky questions." Ryan joked.


    As the temporary host, Chen Jiazheng ordered a student, "The male student who is fifth from the left in the second row."


    Someone immediately passed the microphone over, and the male student¡¯s question was not at all polite, "Hello Ryan, I have a question. Disney¡¯s movies are indeed very successful today, but it cannot be denied that traditional Disney animations have been a long time. I haven''t appeared. May I ask, has Disney abandoned the traditional Disney cartoons?"


    "This is a question that many media including North America are asking."


    Although he was a little surprised that the other party did not ask the Chinese movie first, Ryan replied, "Disney will bring back traditional Disney fairy tales, but we will find the appetite of modern audiences."


    "Can you talk more about it?" Another girl stood up after being called.


    "Let''s put it this way, for today''s audience, the big problem with the old-fashioned Disney fairy tales of the past is that there is always a female character waiting for a man to save himself."


    Hearing Ryan said this, the people below laughed. When the laughter passed, Ryan continued, "All the women I know, including my sister Taylor Swift, and my good friend Drew Barry. Moore, my goddaughter Lily Moxin, and all of Disney¡¯s female producers and publicists, none of them would sit there waiting for a man to save themselves."


    Ryan stretched out his hand to indicate the direction of the female student, and the other party took the microphone again and said, "Yes, it is true, and I won''t be."


    "This is not the story that today''s audience wants to hear." Ryan showed a natural expression, "So when we start to remake Disney-style fairy tales, when I''m talking about the stories that audiences need today, what I want is Create a strong female protagonist and let her promote the development of the story instead of waiting for a man."


    "For example, "Tangled" rebuilt by Disney''s animation department." Ryan simply promoted his own work in advance. "The same is true for the Rapunzel Princess Le Pei. In the fairy tale, she lives on the tower and waits for the prince. We said that the story is not good. She should be the protagonist and she should want to leave the tower. The protagonist should be forced to embark on a journey with her. She is the main force to promote the story."


    Lectures don¡¯t take up much time. The film academy took great pains to invite Ryan here, and it was more about communication.


    Subsequently, the student''s question unexpectedly turned to the Chinese film.


    "First, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won an Oscar, and "Hero" had a North American box office of more than 50 million US dollars. Does this mean that Chinese films can enter the US market smoothly in the future?"


    "I am sorry to tell you that this is only an isolated phenomenon."


    Ryan does not intend to let them continue to maintain this kind of useless fantasy. "The director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is Ang Lee. He has directed films such as "Sense and Emotion" that are very different from his personal cultural background. Full of American flavor, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is an oriental story interpreted in a Western way, attracting American audiences with an exotic atmosphere. Americans are very new to Chinese movies, and their expectations of Chinese movies are only exotic, so " "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is fairly popular in the United States."


    "In order to meet the tastes of Americans, Ang Lee''s first version of the script was even written in English, and then translated into Chinese." Seeing the suspicious look of the audience, Ryan shook his finger, "You don''t need to doubt this. , Because I am the biggest investor in the film, and "Hero", I just want to say that more than 60% of the theaters where this film is shown are in theaters near the Chinese-American community."


    "Everyone, I''m telling you clearly that North America, which owns Hollywood, is a very exclusive film market. Even the successful examples of European films in North America are rare."


    Ryan¡¯s words seemed to inspire these students One of the people below asked, "Mulan is a film that tells Chinese stories in the American way. Do you think this will be the introduction of Chinese culture into Hollywood? Is it a good model?"


    "I don''t think so." Ryan still shook his head. "Disney is just using the content of this story and has little to do with Chinese culture. Because this is a story about a girl dressed as a boy, Hollywood generally thinks it is attractive It¡¯s easier for a boy to enter a movie theater than to attract a girl, because girls will go to a boy¡¯s movie, and a boy will not go to a girl¡¯s movie. Therefore, Disney considers what story can attract girls and boys at the same time, and "Mulan" is exactly The story Disney wants."


    "Then what kind of Chinese films can enter the mainstream film market in North America?"


    The topic is completely entangled in this, Ryan also anticipated these, but he did not intend to say those illusory things, "This is a problem that the whole world is facing, and the problem that other film industries in the world face is the American film market. Very, very difficult to enter!"


    Perhaps countries such as Iran and North Korea are restricted areas for films in other countries due to institutional problems, but for some natural reasons, North America is also an area where it is difficult for overseas films to successfully enter. (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 706： What is the biggest difference between Chinese and American movies?

    "To put it simply, apart from Hollywood, no other country can invest in filming a movie like "Titanic", and no other single movie market can generate more than $500 million in box office revenue for a movie, the shadow of Hollywood movies. It still looms over the film industry of all countries in the world."


    In fact, this problem is not only the film industry, but also the entire media industry. Ryan briefly analyzed a few words for this group of young people full of fantasy.


    "The U.S. media market is the largest insulator in the world. North American audiences watch far fewer foreign films than you think. U.S. television has never broadcast a foreign program in prime time. Of course, just like "Hero", Chinese film is not completely indifferent in the American film market, it can have a small number of specific audiences."


    "The Chinese film industry should first consider how to develop domestically, so that it is possible to expand abroad."


    It is a pity that there will never be a second "hero" in Chinese movies in the future. Except for those literary and artistic films that groan freely and one-sidedly expand their dark side, Chinese movies have left the Chinese market and have no soil for survival.


    The rise of Chinese movies is not just a matter of movies.


    Of course, Ryan would not say such things, after all, he was just an outsider.


    In fact, information exchanges are becoming more and more free nowadays. The actual situation of the North American film market is not a secret. Perhaps no one has said so bluntly that it is very, very difficult for Chinese films to successfully enter North America, but this group of professional students, if they are not fools. , As long as we briefly analyze the actual situation, it is not difficult to find that what Ryan said are all basic facts.


    As for the good overseas movies, it can kill the North American market... Well, the weather outside the auditorium is pretty good.


    After a round of problems, I finally left the Chinese film.


    "Now more and more Hollywood movies are trying to incorporate cultural and national elements from all over the world into their creative styles. Ryan, just like you said, although "Mulan" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" use Chinese elements . But the overall style is still very Hollywood. So how does Disney consider incorporating other cultural and national elements into the work?"


    "This classmate''s problem is very professional." Ryan looked at the male student wearing glasses and said. "Diversification and integration of other excellent cultural elements has always been the development trend of Hollywood movies."


    "The thinking of Hollywood and many filmmakers is that this is just a movie, I can come as I want. It is indeed possible, but it should not be done. The film culture is treated too casually, and the consequences are often very serious."


    Ryan then gave a simple explanation, ¡°Every movie produced in Hollywood is different. Very, very different. Each movie has its own story background. A lot of background research work will be done during the preparatory period. We will do Research, look around."


    "Let¡¯s talk about Disney. For example, we have a new film. It is a fairy tale set in the South Pacific. It is a local folklore. Our director, screenwriter and executive producer will go there in person. Visit anthropology Home, elderly villagers, fishermen, music experts, and chat with them. Learn about their stories. We know what the structure of the story we want is, but we have to incorporate real elements, whether it¡¯s character characters or mysterious legends, what we want It¡¯s the sense of reality, the character¡¯s words and deeds...every little detail strives to be precise, every movie is like this."


    "Our goal is that when the experts in this field see our film, they will say that we did work hard, and we are right. For example, "Ratuitou" and "Cars" are being produced by Pixar Studios. "


    Ryan has already seen the cameras in the venue, and this exchange will definitely spread. "Our production staff will frequently go to the Michelin three-star restaurant and chat with the top chefs inside. We have done enough research with the attitude of making the most exquisite food, and all the details must be in line with reality."


    "There are also animated films about racing. The production staff not only interview racing players, watch racing competitions, and even participate in amateur racing competitions in person."


    "Although these are animations, we strive to have all the details in place, because ordinary people cannot have such a deep understanding of this industry, and the cultural understanding is not deep. Ordinary audiences just think it is true, but we hope that experts will say, God Ah, they really worked hard. This will make the movie more authentic and credible. We don¡¯t want to make a story casually, so that the background looks very Chinese or very South American. We have to really go deep into the culture, study these cultures, and try our best. Make every effort to achieve true integration."


    Compared to dealing with the non-marginal rhetoric of the media before, Ryan is more attentive to answer the questions of these young people. Although the words are inevitably mixed with water, they are very realistic. For these young people who will enter the film industry For people, fantasy can be used to make movies, but it cannot be used to treat this realistic industry.


    "Ryan, most of your works are commercial productions, and there is no shortage of artistic works such as "Remains of a Deserted Island" and "The Pianist", commercial and art, how do you balance the relationship between the two. "


    "Everyone, in addition to being an actor and producer, I am also a businessman. I will answer this question from my own perspective."


    Ryan doesn¡¯t need to modify his own words with those illusory things. ¡°As for how to find a balance between business and art, it has something to do with how much money is spent. I can shoot anything within 20 to 30 million US dollars. I have this market. Value, such as "127 Hours", its production cost is less than 20 million U.S. dollars. I and director Natalie Portman and Miss Natalie Portman can do whatever they want."


    "But if it¡¯s a real-life film "Transformers" with an investment of 170 million US dollars, it won¡¯t work. We must strictly follow the Hollywood commercial film model to produce, and the shots must be popular, innocent, and mainstream audiences like to watch. , Otherwise, even Disney can''t bear such a large loss."


    "Let''s put it this way, when I have a new commercial idea, just listen to me, Hollywood producers will feel that they want to spend money."


    There was a lot of kind laughter in the auditorium, and Ryan tilted his head, "But when I have something literary to talk about, they get nervous. Will the audience buy it? Will the investment lose money?"


    "Therefore, the theme of Hollywood''s major commercial films is relatively naive. The mainstream movies that audiences all over the world see are relatively naive. The philosophical part is almost the same as the end. Movies that are too literary and obscure will only become Niche movies."


    There was a round of applause from below, not too enthusiastic. Ryan''s view that is obviously biased towards commercialization obviously cannot be recognized by too many people.


    He also knows this. In recent years, it has been better. At least Chinese commercial films have developed and audiences are willing to go back to the theater. In the past few years, the Chinese film industry was also the most influenced by European films. The most difficult, even facing a time period of possible demise.


    "Ryan, now you are the richest group of people in the world, what does the current movie mean to you?"


    The question was a girl who seemed to be familiar with her. It is estimated that her previous life might have been a star who went out of this school, but Ryan could not remember her name, nor was he interested in knowing it.


    "I don¡¯t have any hobbies. When I don¡¯t make movies, I¡¯m very lazy. Making movies is my life and my way of life. When I have nothing to do, my whole spirit is lost. I need one. The plot, a reason, and a story unite my gods. In fact, so many people like to watch movies are the same, and they need the strength of mental solidification."


    "People¡¯s joy is related to the torture. They are all based on comparison. The greater the pain, the greater the relative joy. The higher your expectations of joy. When you are disappointed or unable to do so, the pain It¡¯s also very big. In short, the filmmakers will not be bored, and their mood will have a lot of ups and downs."


    Ryan paused, and seemed to feel a little touched, "Film is a very expensive visual product, and filming is sometimes very hard. I hope people all over the world will know how hard they are, but when the things you dream of show up in front of your eyes. , Not only joy and surprise, but also thank God, thank all those who struggle with you, even a small reward, you will feel great joy and feel that life is very meaningful."


    "I hope to put myself in different situations, dramas and roles to experience life and learn the world. Movies are not only work for me it is my life."


    "What do you think of this trip to China and Chinese culture?"


    "I like Chinese culture very much, otherwise I wouldn''t be able to practice such fluent Chinese. I think my Chinese level is still good." There was another kind laughter and applause below, Ryan followed with a light applause, " I think people will meet friends all over the world, not necessarily separated by culture. Your heart, your beliefs, and your feelings about the world are more important than cultural differences, because this is human nature."


    "I hope that culture can bring us different views and colors, because culture has a particularity, we need to appreciate each other. But the most important thing is to be able to find human nature through culture, these are common. I have been around the world Filming, in Poland, in Australia, in Guilin, what characteristics I want to capture, that is my profession, is my interest. But the ultimate goal of these efforts is to capture the nature of people, so that people all over the world can This feeling of communication is more important than cultural differences."


    "What is the difference between the Chinese film industry and the American film industry?"


    Upon hearing this question, Ryan gave a humorous answer, "The biggest difference is language." (to be continued) ()

 Chapter 707： Territorial protection

    After the trip to the film school, Ryan took a plane south and embarked on a trip to Shanghai.


    Before leaving, he had a brief talk with Chen Jiazheng. As time went by, the differences between the two sides became more and more obvious, and it is difficult to return to the former student days. Compared with Darren? Bosman and others, Chen Jiazheng''s development was naturally not smooth, and Ryan finally left the sentence''Disney''s door will be opened to him at any time''.


    After all, everyone has their own goals and ways to achieve them.


    Perhaps Chen Jiazheng once had the ideal of revitalizing Chinese films, but there is a huge difference between his thoughts and his accomplishments.


    This is a world where Western culture and values ??are rampant. If there is no breakthrough in the cultural background, how can Chinese movies really go to the world?


    Sitting on the plane, Ryan couldn''t help but think of the last question in the auditorium. Those students who hadn''t completely faded away from their innocence asked why Hollywood movies were increasingly lacking in social responsibility, but he was dragged back by him. s answer.


    Although movies have never escaped the influence of political and social environment, commercial movies like "Transformers" or "Captain America" ??actually reflect the American theme, but giving movies too much responsibility and educational significance will only force People stay away from consumer products that are essentially entertainment.


    Besides, why does Hollywood give the main theme to some big productions? Are they really responsible? It is just to cater to the needs of the market. They know what the audience wants to see, even if they are really propagating and preaching, such as "Argo", it will be hidden behind the entertainment side that attracts the audience the most.


    As for the social responsibility of Hollywood movies, to put it euphemistically is-nonsense!


    Hollywood producers never consider social responsibility and educational significance. These companies, including him and Disney, only consider commercial interests. It is extremely funny and stupid to rely on movies to control advanced social and family concepts. Things.


    Often the purer entertainment, the more it can attract the audience. To burden the movie with too many factors beyond the scope of entertainment will only overwhelm the audience and even the movie itself.


    After arriving in Shanghai, Ryan participated in a series of formulaic activities, the highlight of which was naturally the groundbreaking ceremony for Disneyland. This Walt Disney Group¡¯s window to mainland China is crucial, and its success will be directly related to Disney¡¯s China''s strategic layout.


    After that, it was a reception banquet, Shanghai Municipal Government, Shanghai City Federation of Industry and Commerce, etc. This is a very normal business relationship. This is also a society full of social interaction. Ryan will not refuse these activities. Accompanied by the heads of Disney''s Far East Branch and Greater China, he has participated in several formal receptions one after another.


    During this period, countless people expressed their intention to cooperate with Disney, but for these specific tasks, Disney''s headquarters has long been handed over to Disney''s Far East branch.


    For example, brand and character image authorization, such as Disney doll OEM, etc., many of Disney''s derivatives are produced in China. If someone travels all the way to California Disney Adventure Park or Florida Disney World and buys some commemorative dolls and the like, it is very likely that they will be exported to domestic sales.


    OEM production, OEM products, etc. are all effective measures to reduce costs and increase profits. Of course Disney will adopt it.


    In addition, Ryan signed a cooperation agreement with Oriental Entertainment Media Group on behalf of Disney. Disney''s China branch and the other party''s smg film and television will be supported by the technical support of Disney''s Animation Department. Start the production and distribution of two animated series, which involves not only TV broadcasting, but also plans to derive big movies and peripheral products if the market responds well.


    The initial ideas for the two dramas also came from Ryan. They are the stories of several sheep and wolves and two stinky bears.


    Such animation does not conform to Disney''s brand strategy and image, so Disney will only be the manipulator behind the scenes, and smg is the object to be pushed to the foreground.


    During the period, Ryan also accepted an interview from the Shanghai media. This time it is a professional film journal "Watching Movies". They are undoubtedly aimed at a group of people in China who like movies. Therefore, Ryan strongly recommended Disney A film that will be launched soon and will definitely be introduced to China.


    Such as "Iron Man", "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", "Cars" and "Transformers" and so on.


    There is nothing surprising about the interview process. It is nothing more than a repetition of the previous few days. As Disney¡¯s mascot, Ryan will definitely want to close the relationship between the entire group company and China. Although Disney has a certain influence in China, it is established. A good brand image requires a lot of long-term work.


    The other party is a professional film magazine, and the questions asked are more targeted, including some differences between Chinese and American film companies.


    Interviewed at the Bund Peace Hotel where Ryan stayed, sitting at a small table in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the female reporter opposite asked, "Mr. Jenkins, many people know that you are the chairman of the Disney Group, but they have overlooked another identity. You are still the chief creative officer and creative director of the Disney Group, but you do not have this position in the Chinese film industry. As a chief creative officer, what is your main job?"


    "I mostly work with film production teams at Disney, including directors, producers, screenwriters, story directors, art directors, etc., to help them make their movies their best. I decide which movie I want to make, although sometimes I will put forward a lot of ideas, and others will turn these ideas into movies, but I will not tell others what to do. My job is to maintain the creative partnership between the film¡¯s creative team, which is very important."


    Picking up the coffee cup, Ryan made a please gesture to the opposite female reporter. After the two put down their cups, the female reporter asked curiously, "Can you tell me more about it?"


    "It takes a long time to make an excellent film, and we must be patient. It takes at least more than a year for us to make a film from the preparation of the project to the completion of the post-production work."


    Ryan lightly tapped the table, "During this period, film directors and producers sometimes lose their objectivity because they are too deep in it. One of my tasks is to help them stay awake and help them solve problems. Sometimes they I¡¯m stuck too deep and want to make changes to the film. I will stop them in time and tell them that it¡¯s good."


    Especially for large commercial productions, directors are often stuck in self-entanglement under tremendous pressure. Not everyone is James Cameron, and not every director has a big heart. They will doubt Own work, and frequently modify the work, this will increase the possibility of film failure.


    For those major commercial films produced by Disney, after finishing the first edition editing, Ryan will go to the preview meeting. If the film meets his requirements, he will stop anyone from making unnecessary changes.


    "I am also a screenwriter and producer, and a person who likes to tell stories. This also allows me to observe from a better perspective." Ryan continued, "I don''t blindly order other people to do things, just want to Try our best to help each team make a great movie."


    "At Disney, whether it''s Touchstone Films or Pixar Studios, many ideas come from different teams. I hope they can grasp these ideas by themselves, because I believe that movies that integrate their emotional soul are the best movies."


    After taking another sip of coffee, Ryan showed a faint smile, "It is very important to incorporate my family, friendship, and travel experience into it. I also insist that every film production team conduct large-scale research on their films. Work, consultation with professionals, business trips and visits, so as to make every movie more real, no matter what the subject matter."


    "So..." the female reporter asked timely, "Is this a very unique position?"


    "Yes, my position is very unique. It grew out of the soil of Walt Disney." Ryan thought for a few seconds. "The last person to sit in this position was Walt Disney himself. That is, the founder of the Disney Group."


    "In layman''s terms, I am both a cheerleader, a person who shares ideas and tells stories, and an expert in coordination." Sitting on the single sofa, Ryan used gestures to match the language, "I will give everything The film¡¯s creative team encourages and tells them the truth. The foundation of teamwork is to tell the truth and share ideas. All people in Disney dare to speak up, regardless of whether these opinions are useful or not, because the worst thing in making a movie is telling others. It¡¯s great but it feels not good at all in my heart."


    "I believe that Disney''s works will make this world a better place!"


    This is the last sentence Ryan said in the interview. This interview is also the last activity of his China trip.


    He left China by plane the next day, but before leaving, he still received some good news.


    With the efforts of the Disney business negotiation team, China will issue fines to some of the infringing companies listed by Disney with conclusive evidence. Although the punishment is more symbolic, it is also an improvement, and it is somewhat of an improvement in copyright protection. Positive effects, after all, for the market across the ocean, there is still a long way to go in this regard.


    Besides, Disney is always an American company and it is impossible to avoid defensive scrutiny.


    Ryan believes that if this trip had not reached a series of cooperation plans with many Chinese companies, these symbolic punishments would not have appeared.


    Territorial protection is too normal, and it''s not uncommon on both sides of the Pacific Ocean and the whole world. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 708： Different positions, different opinions

    The Boeing plane did not return to North America directly, but went to Tokyo first, and then flew on the route to Los Angeles after picking up Charlize.


    "A very successful ad placement."


    The South African Diamond came here mainly to promote the new movie "The Queen Wearing Prada". She sat opposite Ryan and unfastened her seat belt. "After the film was released in North America, the sales of CT''s clothing, shoes and sunglasses have skyrocketed. We have also received orders from many department stores."


    "So the film received a good response?" Ryan asked following her.


    "It''s okay..." Charlize stood up and walked aside, kicked off his high heels and put on comfortable flat shoes. "Word of mouth is polarized. People who say that the film is bad think it is an advertisement, and those who like it think that This is the best fashion textbook and career growth guide."


    While talking, Charlize walked over and sat directly on the sofa chair next to Ryan, "Fashion is always crazy."


    "It''s good to help your career." Ryan''s spirit is not very good. These days in China are very busy, and now I am a little tired when I am idle. "What about the movie box office?"


    "It was more than 80 million U.S. dollars in ten days in North America."


    Maybe he saw something, Charlize leaned over here and kissed Ryan''s mouth, got up and turned to the back of the sofa chair, with ten slender fingers resting on his forehead, and gently rubbing it, "It feels like this. feel better now?"


    "much better¡­¡­"


    Even if Charlize¡¯s approach is not professional, Ryan would say so, ¡°I have participated in too many entertainments in China, you know, dear, you need to have all the energy to talk to those politicians. Otherwise, you will be sold by others. Yes, maybe we are still helping them count the bills."


    "I believe that few people in this world can sell you."


    Charlize naturally knows what kind of person his lover is actually. "Want to hear something funny?"


    "What''s the fun?" Ryan turned his head, reaching out and lifting Charlize''s chin. Hooking the delicate and beautiful face in front of him, "You are so tempting, dear."


    After speaking, he kissed the two soft red lips.


    Because of the awkward posture, the two of them just sucked on their respective lips a few times and then separated.


    "When "The Queen Wearing Prada" premiered in New York." Charlize naughty pulled down Ryan''s light brown short and medium hair, and talked about the funny story she just mentioned. "All the media are waiting for Anna? Wintour came over and made a big fuss at the premiere. Anna did indeed come, wearing an iconic Prada, but she recognized our film. The expressions of the reporters who were waiting to watch the excitement at that time were simply wonderful."


    Most media do not know that the two sides have reached a tacit agreement in private.


    "So, after the film premiere, Anna held up a party in the editorial department of Vogue." Charlize rubbed Ryan''s forehead with two thumbs, "and announced that she will start writing an autobiography. She is also a smart person. ."


    "Such a famous opportunity to make money." Ryan grabbed Charlize''s hand and lightly bit the beautiful knuckle. "As long as you are not a fool, you will definitely catch it."


    "Okay, my dear." Ryan took Racharlitz''s hand. "I feel much better."


    "Actually, I don''t agree with the interpretation of Anna or Miranda in the original book."


    After turning around, Charlize sat next to Ryan again, "Fashion survives by being picky, don''t regard picky as the original sin of fashion. Successful people in the fashion industry, those designer magazine editors, are very picky about details. Sometimes it is unbearable, but this is a professional requirement. It is their profession that requires them to do this."


    Perhaps he is one of them, Charlize obviously has a different understanding. "Fashion is a very delicate and keen business, and it is inseparable from the meticulous attention to detail. In other words, we often say-details determine success or failure! This pair of fashion is the rule of survival, and those fashion practitioners tend to treat this kind of right The cutting-edge pursuit of a career is brought into daily life, and it becomes a devil in the eyes of subordinates."


    Sure enough, the standpoint is different, and the perspective on things is also different.


    Gently squeezing Charlize''s hand, Ryan couldn''t help laughing, "Honey, you seem to have some unique opinions."


    "Do you want to listen?" Charlize tilted his head and looked here, Ryan pinched her nose, "Of course, I will be the best listener."


    "Well, I''m not a director, nor a film critic." Charlize simply sat up straight and said seriously, "I''m just an analysis from the perspective of fashion."


    Ryan made a ¡®please¡¯ gesture in cooperation.


    "I remember you watched the trial film, and I should remember that there was such a shot in the film."


    After seeing Ryan nodding, Charlize said again, "When Andy''s colleague took out two belts and said that they are very different. Andy smiled, she didn''t think the two belts were different.


    "This is a typical layman! Although the two belts have the same color, their belt heads are different. They have different matching feelings, and matching the same clothes will have different effects. To distinguish these differences, find out The best match, this is the subtlety of fashion details. Designers care about these details, although in the eyes of ordinary people, there is no difference at all, but in the eyes of designers, they are completely different. This is the difference between professional and non-specialist perspectives."


    "For example, if you picked that blue striped sweater, you thought you chose this dress carefully according to your intentions..."


    Charlize talked about a line in the film, "And this sky blue has produced millions of dollars in profits and countless job opportunities, as well as incalculable hard work..."


    "Don''t you think this passage is a good portrayal of the fashion industry?"


    Hearing Charlize''s question, Ryan nodded in agreement, "Every industry has its own characteristics."


    "How does fashion affect the world? How does fashion spread from its cutting-edge high fashion to everyone? How does the fashion world affect the lives of ordinary people?"


    Facing the serious and beautiful face of Charlize, Ryan had no choice but to open his hands. In this regard, he was a real layman.


    "Every quarter, designers will discover some new ideas, new ideas, new colors, these things are extracted from a lot of inspiration and information, such as the sky blue worn by Andy''s film, is from Among nearly a hundred blues on the color chart, selected from dozens of similar colors."


    Fortunately, Charlize also understood this and said the answer directly. "Then the designer makes clothes and promotes this color; if it is noticed by other designers, it will achieve a cutting-edge small-scale fashion; then, the media The magazine will judge things that might be popular among the works of countless press conferences every season, then this blue color will be noticed by them."


    Taking the teacup on the opposite side, Ryan handed it to Charlize. The South African Diamond took a big sip and continued, ¡°The media will convey this blue message to the public, and these messages will spread quickly. Hypermarkets will quickly follow up, and this has become a popular trend."


    "Can I have another drink, dear?"


    Hearing this, Ryan handed over his teacup again, and Charlize put the two teacups back on the table one after the other, "If this blue is recognized by the public, it means that it has generated tens of millions of dollars. Even more profits and countless job opportunities."


    "So in the popular things of the season, some will continue to deepen. After this blue becomes popular in fashion, it will continue to develop in depth."


    Everyone has a good side to be a teacher. Charlize seems to be popularizing Ryan''s fashion foundation. "For example, it appears in underwear and furnishings, and then becomes a popular color and becomes a part of daily life. It is used in every ordinary person''s On the body, and you choose these colors in your life, you never think of how it appears in front of you, never think that they are all leftover products of fashion."


    "So, no one should think that he has nothing to do with fashion. Every choice he makes is a product of fashion; and all his choices are actually chosen on the basis of choices provided by others. And often, The choice of a designer or the editor-in-chief of a magazine determines what kind of clothing ordinary people can wear."


    "It''s really complicated," Ryan murmured. "This business also requires a keen eye."


    "Bingo..." Charlize snapped his fingers. "It is a very keen tactile test to pick out the popular things from a large number of works. If they are not beautiful, they will become popular. Popular things are fresh. Special things; but not all fresh and special things will become popular. It must be able to attract the greatest attention all over the world, and more than that, it must also arouse people''s strong pursuit to buy~www.novelhall. com~My dear, I think every piece of clothing you wear is beautiful." Ryan knows how to compliment her own woman in a timely manner, "It can become a fashion element."


    "Thank you!"


    Charlize leaned over and kissed him, and continued the topic just now, "The fashion industry is like the film industry. It is a cruelly competitive industry. There is no room for more than one failure. This is not a simple matter. Anna Wintour or It is said that Miranda''s success is not built on the basis of meanness or cruelty, but on the basis of accurate judgments of fashion again and again."


    "This kind of fashion acumen, most of which cannot be learned or imitated, and more of it comes from talent!"


    Some things are definitely not acquired through acquired learning, Charlize obviously understands this, "I can''t compare to Anna Wintour in this respect."


    "Charlie, you have done a great job."


    Hearing Ryan''s praise, Charlize reached out and hooked his neck, "That''s because I have an advantage she can never have." (to be continued) ()

 Chapter 709： Ideological controversy

    Chapter 709 Ideological Controversy


    Not long after arriving in Los Angeles, Ryan returned to the "Transformers" crew. The team led by Michael Bay returned to the greater Los Angeles area after a round in Virginia and Washington, DC.


    At the time when Ryan left the crew, the crew went to the Pentagon for live shooting. This was the first time since the September 11 attacks that a film crew was allowed to shoot in this place. The U.S. Department of Defense supported this movie. Big, one can imagine.


    The Autobot studio has long reached an agreement with the Hughes Aircraft Company to rent a huge hangar in the West Los Angeles area and make some internal settings and adjustments, including the imprisonment of Megatron and all other Hoover Dam. All of the scenes will be filmed here.


    During the shooting, not only the most advanced special effects technology will be used, but Hollywood''s traditional model special effects also have room to play. The Megatron, which is erected in the hangar and frozen, is the same-scale model used, as long as it is properly adjusted afterwards. This is the invincible leader of the Decepticons.


    "I support your point of view."


    Standing behind the camera with his hands on his chest, Ryan looked at the Megatron model not far in front, and said to Michael Bay next to him, "I think we have reached a consensus on this point. Michael, Transformers are powerful. It''s not invincible. Although I don''t understand military affairs, I also understand that a surprise attack is completely different from a prepared battle."


    "Humans are indeed very weak compared to these huge alien life forms." Michael Bay took a step aside, patted the bumblebee model lying on the trailer, "but we face these mechanical life forms, It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t have the power to resist. As you said, they are very powerful. But they are not invincible. Some human heavy weapons can also harm them."


    "You can measure this." Ryan patted Michael Bay''s arm, "Grasp the degree. Michael."


    "I understand." Bang Bang Bei nodded solemnly.


    The Pentagon provided numerous sponsorships for the filming, if calculated at market prices. There are tens of millions of dollars, and the cooperation between the two sides will not be only this time, and proper consideration must be given to publicizing the image of the US military.


    Although the situation in the previous life where the U.S. military cannot find rivals on the earth and can only fight aliens will not happen, but if humans are too weak, they will not be welcomed by the audience. After all, the people who watch movies are still a group of humans. It is not a mechanical life form on the planet Cybertron. Michael Bay is not James Cameron either.


    The filming was about to begin, Ryan walked to the huge Megatron, and many actors including Alexandra Ambrosio were already waiting here.


    "Scene 77, Act 15..."


    The assistant director¡¯s voice soon sounded, "Now!"


    A group of people looked at Megatron with surprised eyes, and walked towards it. Agent Simmons in District 7 introduced, "This is nbe-1!"


    "Sorry, sir." Ryan copied his pockets with both hands. Interrupted, "I didn''t mean to interrupt you on purpose, but this is Megatron! He is the leader of the Decepticons!"


    "He has been in a frozen state since 1935." Another agent pointed to Megatron and said. "Your great-great-grandfather discovered it. This is the greatest discovery in human history."


    The close-up camera swept past Ryan and Alexandra Ambrosio, who was next to him. The two turned a blind eye and continued to listen to Simmons'' introduction.


    "What you see is the source of modernization." The agent in District 7 walked around proudly with his hands behind his back. "Chips, lasers, space flight, and cars are all obtained by reverse engineering him."


    He walked to Ryan''s side and emphasized his tone, "nbe-1. That''s what we call him!"


    "Cut!" Michael Bay''s voice came from behind the camera, "Passed!"


    Maybe it''s not very demanding for the actors'' performance. The several scenes in the morning went well, even in group scenes. The number of appearances of ng is also relatively small. In the afternoon, even a few scenes involving fire sources and robots were announced once, and the crew was able to close work ahead of schedule.


    After a day of shooting, Ryan also discovered one thing. As the heroine, Alexandra Ambrosio, it seems that there is not a single line in today¡¯s shooting. The camera scans her extremely photogenic face. It was around her **** figure spinning around.


    This heroine, in addition to the role of the vase, has been weakened to the point of being dispensable.


    Every time Alexandra Ambrosio appears, he is basically''thin, revealing, and transparent.'' Even when he escapes and lies on the ground, he must be **** according to the director''s requirements.", with the previous life Megan Fox Unlike the wild, she appears more fashionable and open, this is because the male protagonist''s setting has also changed.


    But these are not important. After the film is released, the audience will care about the fate of Transformers, fighting scenes, audio-visual effects and special effects.


    In terms of special effects, Ryan agrees that Michael Bay restricts the dependence of transformers and background elements on computer graphics in the action scenes. For example, most of the crashes and explosions that have been completed are taken in real scenes, and the camera lens is placed on the scenes of vehicle collisions and explosions To make the scene look more exciting.


    Due to the complexity of Transformers design, even simple actions like turning the wrist require dozens of visual components. Each gun of the iron sheet is composed of about 10,000 parts, and the Hornet uses a panel to act as the eyebrows. , It is necessary to use multiple parts of the face to rotate to show the effect of a smile. The eyes of all Transformers characters have been designed with pupil dilation and brightening.


    Among them, Ryan also deliberately urged a little bit, to moderately brighten the eyes of Optimus Prime and other characters, so as to prevent some audiences from being unable to distinguish Autobots and Decepticons because of the chaotic scenes.


    This distinction will become very simple, the red eye is the Decepticon, the blue-green eye is the Autobot.


    Although the film is still too early to release, the promotion of publicity and derivative products has already begun.


    At the end of last year, Hasbro and Walt Disney spent two months creating a toy product line for the movie. In this process, they received great assistance from the main creators of the crew. The toy club of Tinder, Optimus Prime and Starscream Two months before the film is released, it will be launched globally, and the first wave of dolls will be launched this summer.


    These toys will also include the characters appearing in the second movie, including Hengpao and Arcie. Most of the toys contain moving parts, allowing them to achieve real deformation.


    In terms of publicity and distribution, after several months of negotiations, Disney Pictures has reached pre-sale and introduction agreements with exhibitors in more than 80 countries and regions. Many of these regions will be released simultaneously with North America. "Transformers" will definitely be a real one. Simultaneously released worldwide.


    In terms of promotion, sponsors such as General Motors, Matsushita Electric, Hewlett-Packard Computer, Burger King and PepsiCo have long obtained relevant image and role authorization from the "Autobot" studio, and will be launched successively starting this summer. Many products related to the "Transformers" live-action movie to warm up the movie.


    The props used for shooting include the prototype car of the Hornet and the fire source. After the shooting is over, they will be put on the eBay website for charity sales by the marketing staff.


    In addition, the''Autobots'' studio has also established a website called District Seven, on which it launched a viral marketing alternative reality game, including this film and all the previous Transformers toys to participate in a game called''Hungry Dragon ''Secret operations.


    There are also many behind-the-scenes videos on the website, which provide ¡®evidence¡¯ of the existence of Transformers on the earth, of which the prototype car of the Hornet is naturally indispensable.


    Also, South Korea has issued an official invitation to Disney, wanting the world premiere of "Transformers" to be placed on the Seoul Tower, which is about to be rebuilt, and they are willing to pay US$2 million in sponsorship to the "Autobot" studio. .


    Although he doesn''t like that group of sticks, if the other party''s sponsorship fee doubles, Ryan will still consider putting the premiere in South Korea.


    The ¡®Autobot¡¯ studio has already started negotiations with the other party, and the biggest difference is naturally the price.


    The filming at Hughes Aircraft Company lasted for about ten days. The crew then moved to the Hoover Dam. Like the Pentagon, since the September 11th incident, all Hollywood film crews have been rejected here. "Transformers" was in 2001. After September, the first crew to be able to film on the Hoover Dam.


    This is one of the famous scenic spots in the United States. In order not to affect the normal operation of the dam, the crew must get up early every day, and then finish filming before ten o''clock in the morning. The Hoover Dam will be open to tourists after ten o''clock~www.novelhall .com~ The pedestrians coming and going will definitely cause a lot of trouble to the crew.


    Since the shooting of the Hoover Dam, Peter Cullen has also joined the crew. The voice actor of the animated version of Optimus Prime will use his own voice to evoke the memories of those nostalgic people in this series.


    Among his lines, he naturally included the ¡®freedom and right to all beings¡¯ voted online.


    Regardless of the actual situation in the United States, "Freedom to all living beings" is definitely the best embodiment of American values ??in the film. It also interprets Optimus Prime¡¯s thought and ideology. Just this line can explain why the Autobots he leads Will fight for the earth and mankind against the Decepticons.


    When applied to the real world, this is an ideological battle. This is a war that crosses race, region, and cultural background. There is no possibility of compromise.


    The shots taken at the Hoover Dam are not too many. Michael Bay only planned for three days. On the last day of shooting, Ryan welcomed the people who visited his class.


    Natalie rushed over from Los Angeles and brought some good news. (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 710： Noble and glamorous Oscar

    "What''s so happy?"


    Taking Natalie into her makeup trailer, Ryan pushed the chair over and pressed her on it, "Let me see, even the eyes are smiling."


    "Is it so obvious?" Natalie turned her head and looked in the mirror.


    "His complexion is normal, others and you can''t see it."


    Pulling another chair, Ryan sat across from Natalie, lowered her head and touched her forehead, "Don''t forget, Nat, I know you best."


    "Okay, I admit it." Before Ryan''s head was retracted, Natalie pressed him hard, and after a slight noise, the two guys couldn''t help covering their foreheads at the same time, but Natalie laughed. "I am really happy, very, very happy."


    "Let me guess." Ryan snapped his fingers. "127 Hours is a big hit? Isn''t it right?"


    He scratched his head deliberately, "The movie has already been offline, and it''s just over 30 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America, ah..."


    "I thought about it." Ryan patted his forehead, leaning to Natalie''s ear, "Nate, are you pregnant and want to be a mother?"


    "Ryan!" Natalie opened her eyes, and the two rows of white teeth kept grinding, and she had a stance of biting him severely, "Don''t tell me you can''t guess."


    "Alright alright."


    Raising his hands, Ryan quickly moved away from Natalie. He didn''t want to be bitten fiercely. "The 78th Oscar nominees luncheon should have ended yesterday. Nat, how many nominations have we got? "


    "Not much, only five."


    Despite what she said, Natalie smiled brilliantly, "Best Picture, Best Editing, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Original Song."


    "Oh, congratulations, dear." Ryan understood how to behave now, reached out and hugged Natalie, and kissed her **** the forehead, "My Miss Best Director."


    "Just a nomination."


    Hearing Natalie''s whisper, Ryan squeezed her tall nose, "Now that I have accumulated qualifications, I have a chance to get it."


    Female directors want to get the same treatment as male directors in Hollywood, which is much harder than actresses to male actors. Directors are definitely an industry dominated by men. Even now the new feminism is on the rise, but they want Natalie Winning the Oscar for best director Golden Man in the first nomination may cost far less than the reward.


    Behind the opportunity, the script for Ryan¡¯s "Black Swan" is almost finished. After Natalie finishes filming "The Hunger Games 2," it can be handed over to her. This kind of cold theme is more than "127 Hours" was even more popular with Oscars.


    "Let''s go, Nat."


    It is not ten o''clock in the morning, Ryan pulled Natalie out of the makeup trailer, "I will take you to visit the Hoover Dam, and watch the shooting by the way."


    "Is there an explosion scene here?" Natalie took Ryan and walked towards the dam where the crew is. "I really want to see Michael blow up the Hoover Dam."


    "Then the federal government is going crazy."


    Walking to the side of the dam guardrail not far from the crew, Ryan glanced down and quickly retracted his gaze, "There are some plots of Starscream attacking the dam power plant in the script, but it can only be generated with the help of a computer."


    "Is that a model of the Hornet?" Natalie asked, pointing to the front.


    "Yes."


    There was filming where the Hornet was caught inside the dam. Ryan stood beside Natalie, ¡°That¡¯s a model of the same scale, and over there, it¡¯s the Hornet Camaro sports car built by Chevrolet for the crew. Counting these two cars, there are only six cars with the same configuration in the world, my dear, if you are interested, I can reserve one for you."


    "The other one are you going to collect?" Natalie asked.


    "Alison had booked it a long time ago." Ryan made an expression that you understand to her, "You know, she has liked collecting these unique movie props since she was a child."


    "I went to see her collection." Natalie was obviously not interested in the car. "The movie memorabilia in Alison''s collection will definitely surprise everyone."


    There is no water in these words. Taylor''s collection is not only limited edition dolls and souvenirs from the movie, but also many of the original props of the movie, such as Hermione''s wand in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone", such as Ryan In the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, kill the Nasir holy sword in all directions.


    Ryan¡¯s scene ended yesterday, and the two of them didn¡¯t mean to be in the past. They just watched the filming from a distance, especially Natalie. For a lot of time, they focused on Michael Bay and watched him command and dispatch. .


    "Hollywood always has a group of directors." She looked at Michael Bay from a distance and said, "I have never been liked by Oscars."


    "This is normal, no one can make their films liked by everyone." Ryan simply gave a few examples, "Stephen Somos, Roland Emmerich, they never invite Oscars to see. "


    "It''s the darling of Hollywood studios." Natalie added.


    "Business is the foundation of Hollywood."


    The two turned to the guardrail and looked at the scenery in the distance. Ryan continued, "Compared to Sam Mendes, the Coen brothers, and Roman Polanski, Hollywood prefers their kind of director."


    "Nate..." Ryan said suddenly, "If I use "Transformers" to help Michael get an Oscar nomination for best director, what do you think?"


    "Do you think this is a big possibility?" Natalie knew that Ryan was joking and shrugged playfully. "He is one of Oscar''s least favorite directors."


    "How do you know if you don''t try?" Ryan''s tone still seemed to be joking.


    Although the Oscar is also full of a strong commercial atmosphere, it will be affected by a series of factors such as public relations, but in key awards such as the four major awards, the type of film is still very important.


    In other words, Oscar will always release a ¡®noble¡¯ and ¡®cold¡¯ attitude to show his authority and distinctiveness.


    Even now, the Oscar jury still selects some ¡®special¡¯ films as candidates for awards such as best film and best director. Many of these films will be out of the mainstream commercial market and are often called strange and unpopular by ordinary audiences.


    Ryan still remembers that before a certain Oscar in his previous life, the film that might be nominated was extremely cold, and many media ridiculed it, suggesting that Paramount should apply for the best film for "Transformers 3: When the Moon Is Dark." What is Michael? Bey declared the best film and signed up for the best screenwriter for Ilan Kruger, because compared with the films that may be nominated, "Transformers 3" is not only more well-known, and even the content is not inferior.


    This move has attracted a lot of heated discussion from ordinary movie fans, and Michael Bay, who ridiculed "I just like explosions", is indeed more qualified to win the prize than those rare movies.


    Of course, Michael Bay is loved by ordinary audiences, so naturally he will not attract those cold and noble eyes.


    Even with Ryan''s current status, after the film was released, it really declared the best film and best director for "Transformers", the film is still infinitely far away from the Oscars.


    Fortunately, there are some directors who don¡¯t need Oscars to admit that Michael Bay¡¯s position in Hollywood may not be as good as James Cameron or Steven Spielberg, but like George Lucas, he can basically crush. Ninety-nine percent of directors of literary and artistic films.


    After all, this is Hollywood where the first focus is on business, not the European film industry where sex, emotion and boredom are the art of art.


    "Nate." Ryan turned to look at Natalie, "Are you interested in directing commercial films in the future?"


    "Commercial film?" Natalie frowned and thought, "Can you know the subject matter and type?"


    "For example, a big magical production."


    Upon hearing Ryan''s words, Natalie said directly, "With my current ability, I am afraid it is difficult to control such a movie."


    "Future!" Ryan specifically emphasized the word.


    "Then wait for you to take out the script." Natalie didn''t fall for him, and then deliberately said, "I will make your magical script into a romantic movie!"


    The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.


    The time is getting closer to the end of February. After the film crew ended the Hoover Dam scene, they moved to Los Angeles again and continued to film the scenes of the final battle. Smoke, explosions and car crashes once again became the subject of the filming. Ryan was holding the source of fire. Running around has also become the norm, sometimes even running around in a detonating cord.


    On this street full of garbage and props, Ryan successfully ended his scene.


    Although he is the leading actor, strictly speaking, he does not have many roles. Compared with Josh Duhamel, the supporting actor, he is not much heavier. It can be said that everyone is also deforming a group of people. King Kong Da Soy Sauce Similarly, Ryan was also very satisfied with Michael Bay¡¯s shooting. Although he used the imax3d camera during the period, his shooting budget showed no signs of overspending, especially the crew¡¯s shooting time was strict. Controlled within the plan, leaving enough time for post-production.


    Although Industrial Light and Magic had already started the production of Transformers, replacing them into the shots of the film took a lot of time and energy.


    In short, under the premise of not overspending and overtime, Michael Bay is about to successfully complete the filming work of the film. Bombshell has defects and also has its own strengths, and what he is good at is extremely popular in the market. Otherwise, regardless of his past or present life, he Nor will it be so valued by major Hollywood production companies.


    For Ryan, the work of "Transformers" has come to an end for the time being. He turned more energy to the upcoming seventy-eighth Academy Awards. The various companies affiliated to Walt Disney have few films shortlisted. The competition for several key awards, since the Oscar nomination list was announced, Disney has basically given up the PR for most of the awards.


    The only focus on investing resources is that "127 Hours" was nominated for the best original song nominated. r1152()

 Chapter 711： Take out all your strength

    Although it is the number one event in the entertainment industry in the United States, it is an indisputable fact that Oscar''s influence is diminishing year by year after entering the new century.


    Under the influence of new forms of entertainment such as television, the Internet, and video games, the Academy Awards, once a symbol of American popular culture, is losing its halo, especially after "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", it won the most Oscar. The films nominated by the best films have a smaller and smaller audience base.


    Last year¡¯s best picture nomination included the ¡°Argo¡± movie that had a box office of over 100 million in North America. The box office that won the best picture nomination this year was terrible. Five films including ¡°Brokeback Mountain¡± have so far grossed North American box office revenue. Only 187 million US dollars, the lowest record in the past 10 years.


    The box office numbers are far inferior to the box office of the films "King Kong" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" that have not been nominated for any major awards.


    These five serious films on realistic themes such as homosexuality, race, politics and terrorism are not as attractive to audiences as the documentary about the life of penguins in Antarctica, nominated for the Best Documentary Award, called Hollywood. The sorrow may be overstated, but a recent survey clearly showed that nearly three-quarters of Americans believe that the quality of Oscar-nominated films is not as good as before, and they prefer to stay at home and watch DVDs or spend other entertainment methods. time.


    The films that received important nominations lacked an audience base, and even the Oscars of this year were ignored. According to rough estimates of several companies, the number of viewers at this year¡¯s Oscars is likely to drop by about 10% compared with the previous one. The lowest point since 1987.


    But no matter what, the 78th Oscars ceremony came on time in early March.


    The film industry needs Oscars, Hollywood needs Oscars, and North American media groups such as Viacom, News Corp and Walt Disney. Oscars are also needed.


    Hollywood and even the media industry need such a magnificent, colorful, shining, and extremely lively event to promote their production industry in North America and the world. By the way, American culture is promoted. Perhaps the American public is not necessarily interested in Oscar-winning films. But the big-name celebrities who appeared at the ceremony will still arouse fanatical pursuit by many people.


    Even if this year¡¯s Oscar¡¯s weakness is irreversible, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has also made some active efforts. In order to maximize the ratings of the Oscars, they postponed the date of the awards to avoid the winter in February. The Olympic Games crashed and extended the red carpet ceremony from half an hour to one hour. The acceptance speech was strictly controlled within 60 seconds...


    In addition. The college invited Jon Stewart, a popular TV host in the United States who is famous for the news program "Daily Show", hoping that Stewart''s influence can attract more young audiences to the Oscars.


    If the ratings of the Oscars are declining every year, where does the college start to increase its broadcast fees?


    In recent years, Disney¡¯s television station has been the broadcaster of the Oscars. Although the ratings of Oscars have been declining year by year, the commercial development in this area has been successful.


    This year, each advertisement inserted in the Oscar live broadcast was sold for an average of 1.7 million US dollars, and each broadcast time was 30 seconds, which is equivalent to 57,000 US dollars per second. The advertising alone can bring more than $90 million in revenue to the TV station.


    Of course, whether it is selling ads to make money. Still entertaining the public, Hollywood is actually the biggest winner of the Oscars.


    After several years of traveling alone, Ryan took Tyler onto the red carpet this time. Unlike other stars, the two were very fast and walked to the Kodak Theater almost without stopping.


    Oscars are not only entertainment, but also fashion.


    However, these are basically meaningless to Ryan. He is a traditional dark dress and bow tie that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Compared to him, Taylor around him looks more fashionable.


    Miss Taylor Swift''s ct white satin embroidered tight-fitting dress is impeccably elegant. The hem of the small fishtail is also very charming, and the long curly platinum hair is neatly pulled behind his head. It highlights its fresh and shrewd temperament.


    Simple femininity, this is the latest global fashion trend in 2006 conveyed by this year¡¯s Oscar actress dresses ¡ª the dazzling and complicated evening dresses and huge jewels on the Oscars last year have disappeared, replaced by plain dresses. With a smooth naked neck.


    Of course, as in previous years, some people have caught up with this trend, but some people have not caught up.


    Each Oscar red carpet is like a fashion trend conference, but the celebrities and their stylists have different fashion touches and tastes, so every year someone walks on the red carpet. I felt good, but was criticized decently by public opinion afterwards.


    Therefore, for celebrities, especially actresses, regardless of whether they have their own shares when they win the prize, the Oscar''s ¡®in-class quiz¡¯ about dress must get a high score.


    For example, when entering the Kodak Theater, Uma Thurman was the first to greet Ryan. Her lotus-colored silk skirt is light in texture and has just the right degree of transparency, as if the elegant shape of a spring fairy appears in a heavy evening dress. Especially pleasing to the eye, the design of the upper body is cleverly integrated with Greek elements to fully bring out the long legs and thin waist.


    Even Tyler next to him was overwhelmed by the opponent in terms of clothing.


    "Height and long legs are an advantage."


    Uma Thurman had just left, Drew Barrymore''s voice sounded from the left, her eyes were placed on Taylor, "Alison, you are so beautiful."


    "Thank you." Taylor nodded politely. "Drew, you are beautiful too."


    "Well, you two should stop complimenting each other." Ryan tilted his head at the entrance of the hall. "Let''s go in. Drew is still waiting for the little golden man on stage to pick up the best picture."


    "Brokeback Mountain has little chance."


    Drew said as she walked forward, she had spent so many years in Hollywood and knew very well, "Compared to an authentic Los Angeles film like "Crash," we can''t win."


    "But Ann Lee should have an advantage in the best director." Tyler held Ryan in his arms. Walked into the main entrance of the hall and said softly, "I heard that this is also the focus of your public relations."


    "Just get a heavyweight award."


    The seats of the two parties are not together. Drew said again before leaving. "The later copyright of the film can be sold at a higher price."


    Like other filmmakers and distributors, apart from fame, the competition for Oscars is more for profit. As long as the fame and fortune can exceed the cost, this glamorous game will never stop.


    "Hi, Nat."


    Walking to his seat, Ryan took the hand of Natalie next to him. "When I arrived, why didn''t I see you."


    "It''s been a while." Natalie nodded at Taylor who waved at her. "It''s about ten minutes before you."


    "Have you seen the script?" Ryan said of the "Black Swan" that was delivered to her only yesterday.


    "I browsed it roughly, but I haven''t looked at it carefully." Natalie said after thinking about it, "I think it''s very suitable for a female director to shoot. I have copied two copies and sent them to Scarlett and Gale this morning. In his hands, but..."


    She leaned to Ryan''s ear, "I want to change the vague homosexuality and masturbation plot to be more subtle."


    "It''s fine if you discuss the changes."


    Ryan has made many changes in this regard. Now that Natalie wants to make the changes more obscure, let her go, "I''ve got Jenkins Pictures ready for the check. After you finish filming "The Hunger Games 2," you can start work anytime."


    "Then help me pay attention to the excellent ballet choreography."


    Speaking of this, Natalie remembered that Ryan was busier than her, and she changed her mind, "Forget it, let me get someone from the ballet company in New York. The film must be shot in New York. I''ll find someone to contact me." ."


    "That''s good." Ryan didn''t care much either, in his opinion it was just a small matter. "If you need help, just call me."


    "I will." Natalie nodded slightly.


    "Hey Hey hey¡­¡­"


    Taylor sitting on the other side of Ryan. Suddenly leaned closer, "What are you talking about, don''t bother me."


    "Discussing Nat''s new movie." Ryan nodded her forehead. "She will be shooting another work in the second half of the year."


    "Oh¡­¡­"


    The girl''s eyes brightened, she moved closer, and asked in a low voice, "Nate, is this part of your plan to attack the best director? Great, the first female Oscar for best director!"


    Natalie did not answer, but looked at Ryan.


    "It''s an important part of it." Ryan said in a voice that can only be heard by three people. "But I think Nat should get the best actress first."


    "You...you mean..." Natalie opened her mouth slowly, "This character..."


    "So, Nat." Ryan tapped his chin slowly and forcefully, "Use all your strength."


    The sound of music suddenly sounded, and Oscar was about to kick off the curtain, and then Natalie''s hand tightly held Ryan.


    As in previous years Before the Oscars ceremony, there will be a video introducing the nominated films and the host. The theme of this year''s Oscar video is to find the host of the awards show.


    The tent of "Brokeback Mountain" opened, and Billy Christo showed his head first, "I won''t host this year. I didn''t see that I was busy in love."


    Amidst the roar of the theater, the camera was pointed at the door of the black movie star Ubi Gordon, and the Queen said unceremoniously, "Go out! I''m really out of time, the housework is going crazy! "


    Finally, the camera fell on a bed, the current host Jon Stewart was sleeping and was woken up by a phone call.


    "God, want me to be an Oscar host? Oh, this is not a dream, how can I see Halle Berry lying on the other side?"


    At this time, the **** Halle was lying next to him, and Stewart quickly said, "Let me close my eyes again." When he woke up, George Clooney in pajamas was next to him, "Go," Put on your clothes and host the Oscars."


    Thus, the award ceremony began. (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 712： Love is born

    In order to boost the ratings, the organizing committee of this year''s Oscars has done everything possible. For example, Jon Stewart''s jokes have been opened up on a larger scale.


    "Oscar is the place where you can see the most celebrities, and you don''t have to donate money to the Democratic Party."


    "Don''t look at piracy! Look at these stars, you are stealing from them! Look at those actresses, they are so poor that they can barely cover their breasts!"


    "Hundreds of millions of people are watching this Oscar live broadcast... half of them are waiting to be adopted by Angelina Jolie."


    Politics, female celebrities, and the recently hot Angelina Jolie have all become the targets of his ridicule. The latter¡¯s lace news not only has her relationship with Brad Pitt, but also includes her tireless travel from Cambodia and Ethiopia. Waiting to adopt a child...


    But these jokes are significantly less effective than Billy Christo''s personal opening show. These are most directly reflected in the not-so-loud laughter and applause in the theater.


    In addition, the organizing committee once again awarded the heavier best supporting actor out for the first time, probably also hoping to use heavyweight awards to arouse the emotions of the audience.


    The first to be on the podium was George Clooney, the famous Hollywood male vase. After directing and starring in "Argo", he finally ushered in a turning point in his career and was recognized by the Oscar.


    "Good Night, Good Luck" is only the third film directed by George Clooney. Like "Argo", it has been nominated for multiple awards including Best Director and Best Picture, but after all, George Clooney His fame is more in actors than in directors. The college gave him the best supporting actor. It almost means that he has no chance with the best director behind.


    George Clooney also understands this, so his first sentence on stage is-it seems I can''t get the best director!


    This sentence seems to be the best portrayal of this year''s Oscars. The following awards are divided into cakes and the tone of egalitarianism is very clear.


    The best supporting actress was given to Rachel Vichy, who is already pregnant, and the film is "The Immortal Gardener." This is also the only award for this film.


    Peter Jackson''s masterpiece "King Kong" was thought to dominate the technical awards beforehand, but only won three awards for the best sound editing, best sound effects and best visual effects, Disney''s "The Chronicles of Narnia" and DreamWorks "Memoirs of a Geisha" shared awards for best makeup, best photography, best costume and best art director.


    Nearly half of the awards ceremony, Disney only received the best make-up figure of "The Chronicles of Narnia".


    The biggest attraction during the period was Jennifer Aniston. Although Jon Stewart kept teasing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, she could not mobilize Jennifer Aniston¡¯s emotions at all. She was disheveled and dressed. simple. After reading the nomination list blankly, the figure of the best costume was awarded to the costume designer of "Memoirs of a Geisha" without a word, and then quickly stepped down.


    She is definitely the most depressing guest to present this Oscar night.


    Next, as Ryan expected, "127 Hours" was basically the fate of running, even if it was the best original song that Disney focused on, Taylor lost to the singing of "It''s not easy to pimp" because of his age. Combination 3-6 Mafia.


    "It doesn''t matter."


    When Ryan comforted, Taylor just shrugged casually. She had experienced too many big occasions since she was a child. Don''t care much, "There will be opportunities in the future, so don''t worry."


    Ryan also understands. Taylor¡¯s main battlefield is still music. This year¡¯s Grammy has won the best newcomer, best album, and best country female singer with three phonographs. She won¡¯t see the best original song of the golden man in particular. weight.


    However, the host on the stage will not let go of the opportunity to tease. After all, the 3-6 Mafia group is not only good for the film industry, even for the pop music industry, they are all very unfamiliar names.


    After the award recipient stepped down, Jon Stewart said. "Everyone must remember this reality, Martin Scorsese. Zero Oscar statuettes; 3-6 Mafia, one Oscar statuette!"


    Although talking about the quality of the song. Taylor''s theme song for "127 Hours" can surpass the three streets of "It''s Not Easy to Pimp," but her age is bad.


    This is the Oscar, 99% of its time, it discriminates against young people, especially when the target is still a blonde girl.


    This year¡¯s Oscar seems to be destined not to make any movie a real big winner. The rhythm of dividing the cake is still going on. "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crash" took away the best adapted screenplay and the best original screenplay respectively, but In the following heavyweight best actor and best actress awards, nothing was won.


    "The nomination list for the best actor is..."


    Hilary Swank introduced the nomination list with the big screen, "Philip Seymour Hoffman "Capote", Terrence Howard "The River Bustling", Ryan Jenkins "127 Hours", Joaquin Phoenix "Go Forward", David Strezern "Good Night, Good Luck"."


    Listening to the nomination list, Ryan is very calm compared to the others. He has no public relations, and the possibility of winning is infinitely close to zero.


    The final winner read from Hilary Swank''s mouth is indeed not him.


    "The Oscar winner is Philip Seymour Hoffman, "Capote."


    This actor, who is determined to star in "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire", won the first Oscar statuette in his life.


    However, compared to his dry acceptance speech, perhaps Jon Stewart''s ridicule is more interesting.


    "Capote showed to the American public that not all homosexuals are cowboys, and some are sissy New York intellectuals."


    Everything is developing in the direction of past life memory, Reese Witherspoon picked up the best actress, and another Hollywood vase completed its transformation at the Oscar.


    When Dustin Hoffman stands on the stage with a big envelope, whether the Chinese can win the first Oscar for best director trophy will soon be announced.


    "The following five directors have produced wonderful films for us in the past year."


    Listening to the list read by Dustin Hoffman, Ryan turned to look at the crew of "Brokeback Mountain", Ang Lee''s face was tight and filled with tension.


    "Ann Lee "Brokeback Mountain", Natalie Portman "127 Hours", George Clooney "Good Night and Good Luck", Steven Spielberg "Munich", Paul Haggis "Crash" ..."


    Looking back from the other side, Ryan gently shook Natalie''s hand, "There is always a chance."


    "I see."


    That being said, it is absolutely impossible for Natalie, who was nominated for the Oscar for the first time, to not be nervous or eager, even if she knew she would never win.


    "The winner of the best director is..." Dustin Hoffman opened the envelope and read, "Ann Lee, Brokeback Mountain!"


    With applause, Ryan and Natalie stood up slowly with the people standing in the back row, patted their palms lightly, and watched the first Chinese director step onto the stage of receiving the Oscar for best director.


    "Now the best director is given to Ann Lee."


    Looking at the director who was accepting the award and preparing to speak on the stage, Natalie suddenly said softly, "Then, as usual, the probability of "Brokeback Mountain" winning the best picture should be great."


    "Dear."


    After sitting down, Ryan raised his index finger and shook it a few times. ¡°This time the Oscars are divided into cakes. The meaning of the cake is too obvious. The probability of "Crash" will be greater, and the theme is more in line with Oscar''s taste."


    If it is the default normality to say that the best director and best film were won by the same movie in the past, the number and frequency of the division of these two awards will become higher and higher in the future.


    "I hope I know how to quit you!" Li Ang''s first acceptance speech mentioned the most classic line in Brokeback Mountain.


    "First of all, I want to thank two people. These two people are the protagonists in the film. They do not really exist. However, I should say that they existed through the rich imagination of our filmmakers, and these two characters are Ennis and Jack. "Brokeback Mountain" is not just a story between **** men or women, it expresses love in a broad sense, love is born with it, thank you!"


    Li Anneng stayed in Hollywood and gradually became one of the top directors. He is obviously a smart man. He knows that interpersonal relationships are equally important in Hollywood.


    "Thanks to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for giving me this honor, and to everyone in the producer, especially Miss Drew Barrymore and Mr. Ryan Jenkins, for their great support to make this movie~www.novelhall .com~ I also want to thank my wife and my sons. I love you!"


    Finally, he changed Chinese, "Thanks to my mother and family, as well as all the fans in mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong."


    The award ceremony came to the end. When Jack Nicholson opened the envelope and read the answer, the crew of "Crash" who participated in the award ceremony with the most cheers, they staged a big reversal at the last minute and won the best film. The little golden man.


    In other words, the Oscars are always the Oscars of the United States, and they will never be separated from the influence of politics and American main themes. "Crash" is a specimen-style Hollywood movie, with suspense, horror, racial issues, and human nature discussions. The film is also a logical thing.


    Don''t forget, although there are a bunch of **** groups outside who are supporting "Brokeback Mountain", there are also many people who oppose it. The total number of people who have risen to more than 100,000 signed the opposing action, and Oscar couldn''t ignore it either.


    Besides, "Crash" tells the story of racial confrontation in Los Angeles, and many film school judges are either Los Angeles or live in the Los Angeles area. Under similar public relations conditions, how will these people choose? Think about it. (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 713： Fame and fortune

    After each Oscar, there will almost always be controversial voices in the media. This controversy seems to be a bit big. Some are deliberately hyped by the media to gain attention; some come from the crew and stars, and they are more for their own interests.


    Originally, various **** organizations were extremely dissatisfied with the loss of the best film of "Brokeback Mountain". With the help of the media, several **** groups in California raised nearly 30,000 US dollars and bought an entire page of "Daily Variety" for advertising. , To vent their dissatisfaction, they claimed-"Brokeback Mountain" really touched the hearts of the audience, but in the end it was robbed by Oscar and lost the honor that should belong to all **** groups.


    "The American public is crazy, disappointed, angry, and no longer believes in the results of the Oscars!"


    This is from the media. In order to gain attention, the media really doesn''t care about any results that the incitement may lead to. If the **** community can set off a massive demonstration in the United States, I am afraid that the media industry will like it the most.


    However, the news about "Brokeback Mountain" did not occupy the front page of the entertainment media for too long. "Crash" once again robbed it of the limelight, this time because of the uneven stolen goods in the crew.


    After the Oscars, "Crash", which was so coldly received by the market last year, was immediately re-released in 150 theaters when the best film was added. Even if the market response is still mediocre, it can always create some profits.


    Fame and fortune can be said to be an important factor affecting people''s hearts.


    Bob Illy, one of the producers of "Crash," because he was not selected to give a speech at the Oscars, he actually took the Producers League and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to court, because according to the rules of the Oscars, he won the most For the works of the Best Film Award, only two representatives can be selected to give speeches. The producer will select the film¡¯s screenwriter and director Paul Haggis and another female producer Cathy Heulman. Therefore, Illy failed to do so.


    However, the ¡®plaintiff¡¯ Illy who caused the trouble. At the same time, she is also the defendant-the female producer Sheurman who gave a speech on stage has already sued him for "fraud, breach of contract" and other reasons.


    A peculiar triangle lawsuit was born, and what was hidden behind it was just a dispute over fame and fortune.


    In addition, regarding the Oscar fame and fortune dispute, even the US Internal Revenue Service has intervened, and they have to collect tax from the gift package presented by the college to the award-giving guests!


    Since 1989, the college has given gift packages to Oscar guests, and it has since become a tradition. In addition to the finalists, the presenter can also get a copy to express gratitude to the star guests who attended the Oscar ceremony for free.


    Under commercial hype. This tradition has become a business with an output value of hundreds of millions of dollars. In this year¡¯s Oscar package, the diamond-encrusted bra and panties, a 22k gold leaf and a mallet made of crystals are worth nearly 100,000 US dollars, and this is just Part of the content of the gift bag.


    Although the Oscar''s gift package is different due to different gifts, the content is also different. For example, the "Victoria''s Secret" underwear with gold and diamonds worth 15,000 US dollars is only available to the finalists of the heroine.


    In addition to the gifts to attend the awards ceremony. The Oscar also specially prepared gifts for the unsuccessful actors and actresses and directors, which will be given out after the awards ceremony. This year¡¯s Oscar¡¯s frustrated person¡¯s gift bag contains a Las Vegas luxury hotel for soothing the injured soul. 3 days free accommodation voucher.


    It is indeed enviable that Hollywood stars participate in the awards ceremony and receive the gifts at the same time. But the US Internal Revenue Service has focused its attention on tax collection this year.


    Just a day after this awards ceremony, the IRS stated that the stars who received the Oscar gift packages must pay taxes for these gifts. Its spokesperson said in a statement that when global attention is focused on these stars. They should also know that they are obligated to pay taxes like ordinary people. We hope that these celebrities will also be able to ¡®unimprove¡¯ when it comes to paying taxes.


    Only death and taxation are eternal, in a country that resisted taxes. Paying taxes is definitely the top priority. Although since more than ten years ago, the Oscar gift package received will be given to the people below, but Ryan still informs the accountant that when filing taxes next month, don''t forget this gift package.


    The reputation of the country of ten thousand taxes can also be seen from this gift package.


    Like previous Oscar movie queens, Reese Witherspoon and Philip Hoffman have soared in value.


    The former signed a new contract with the crew of "Family Troubles" with a salary of up to 30 million U.S. dollars, which also means that it has surpassed Nicole''s previous Hollywood actress salary record of 25 million U.S. dollars and became the world''s most expensive female. Celebrity.


    However, all media know that there is no comparative significance.


    After the latter got the best actor, he naturally asked for a salary increase to the crew of The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire. Ryan was also prepared for this, just waiting for Hoffman and his agent to open When the price of 15 million U.S. dollars was out, he didn''t even negotiate, and directly notified the crew of the replacement.


    Although this is the bargaining price offered by the other party, he does not want to waste time. Such a film focusing on youth and female subjects would be too wasteful to use an Oscar born in the 1960s.


    Besides, as an absolute heroine, Natalie''s salary is only US$10 million plus 3% of the North American box office. The other party is just a non-important role. Unless Disney is all stupid, she will accept this. Negotiation.


    In Hollywood, it may be difficult to find cheap Oscars, but there are many old dramas with good acting skills and low prices.


    Of course, as the new Oscar actor, Philip Hoffman also has no shortage of film contracts. After Disney terminated the negotiation with him, his agent quickly negotiated with Paramount Pictures, and Hoffman will star in The villain in "Spy 3" and Leonardo DiCaprio staged the ultimate confrontation.


    This is also one of the reasons why countless actors don''t hesitate to invest a huge amount of public relations Oscars. Once they are awarded, they will get not only honors, but also real benefits.


    After a period of media hype, the aftermath of Oscars gradually dissipated, the disturbed Hollywood gradually calmed down, and the media began to look for new hot topics.


    Half of March has passed, and the next summer vacation is getting closer and closer, and a new publicity boom has arrived. Many major productions have invested huge publicity expenses.


    Compared with "Pirates of the Caribbean: Stormy Tides" and other sequels that have a sufficient audience base, Disney spends more resources on the promotion of "Iron Man". Two months before the film''s North American premiere, The first trailer was released at the same time as the TV station.


    Among them was the slogan-this summer, there will be a cold iron man with you-the propaganda slogan. The trailer not only shows the process of Iron Man''s transformation, but also many battle scenes and explosive effects are enough for viewers to produce shocking effects.


    Like other movies, Disney will not rely solely on any kind of publicity methods, such as television, radio, advertising posters and print media. As the release time approaches, you can see more and more "Iron Man" news.


    Even the heroine Gwyneth Paltrow was ill and went to the hospital, and she was fired by Disney''s media.


    With her consent, Disney¡¯s media claimed that Gwyneth was ill because she had put too much energy into the film "Iron Man". The overloaded work caused her to lose weight and become seriously overdrawn. Per? Potts is a classic character created by Gwyneth''s hard work.


    Gwyneth has not yet become the later Tsundere Princess. In the hearts of all beautiful women, it is also one of the pronouns of fashion. It is certainly not a problem for "Iron Man" to attract male audiences. How to impress female audiences does require Disney''s publicity. Use some special methods.


    Therefore, in addition to the hype about Gwyneth Paltrow, Marvel Pictures decided to add a second easter egg to the film. The content of the easter egg is directly related to Captain America and Black Widow.


    According to the agreement, Ryan appeared in the studio of the Disney Studios on time, said hello to the director of "Iron Man", Jon Feiru, and walked into the dressing room. About an hour and a half later, he became an incarnation. Steve Rogers, a casual version, returned to the studio.


    "Hi, Scarlett."


    Walking to the camera, I lightly patted Scarlett Johansson who was talking to Jon Feiru, "It''s been a long time, you seem to have lost a lot of weight."


    "Really?" Scarlett turned her head, "I said I was losing weight, but that **** didn''t believe it."


    "What?" Ryan asked curiously.


    "Ah, nothing."


    Scarlett rubbed her wrist and pointed to the sandbag arranged, "Ryan, are you ready to squash it?"


    "of course!"


    It''s just an easter egg. The plot is of course very simple. After Ryan and the two were ready, Jon Feiru shouted to start.


    In the empty fitness room Steve Rogers, who woke up from his drowsiness, often hid here to practice fighting because he could not adapt to the new era in a short period of time. He quickly punched and slammed a sandbag. There was a bang, and he didn''t stop until the door rang behind him.


    The people who walked in were familiar with him, and they often came to visit him recently. It was a **** woman with long red curly hair, a close partner who used to fight side by side.


    "Natasha."


    The two sides have seen each other a long time ago, and Steve Rogers also knows the experience of each other over the years, "Why are you here?"


    "Come to say goodbye to you." The Black Widow walked over and looked at Captain America, who was much taller than herself. "I should not come to see you often in the future."


    "why?"


    Compared with those special agents, he believes this former Roaring Commando member who once fought side by side, "Are you going out to perform a mission?"


    "There is a billionaire, playboy, who has made some powerful high-tech weapons. I will go over and watch him." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 714： Treat your career as seriously as your life

    Regarding Surprise¡¯s first phase of the universe plan, except for some comments from Ryan, most of the content is that Surprise¡¯s own team is responsible for adjustment and follow-up writing. The Easter eggs that have just been filmed, although only a one-page script, are It gave him a feeling that Steve Rogers and Natasha Normanoff were going to get together.


    This kind of voice has been very strong on the Internet since the release of "Captain America". It seems that two grandpa and grandma-class handsome women who are in love are in love with each other, which makes movie fans impulsive and evil.


    Within Walt Disney, Ryan has always advocated commercial first for various production companies. It is hard to say whether he will be surprised if the two people will become a pair because of the strong appeal of movie fans. After all, the first thing that superhero movies pay attention to is the market. Voice, conforming to the market is also a must.


    Having said that, according to the setting of the universe in this world, the ages of the two are monsters, so it is really difficult to find someone to match them.


    I still remember the famous words of the Black Widow-falling in love is a child''s game-I don''t know if surprise will be added.


    The overall performance of the films currently launched by Marvel Pictures is outstanding. Even the "Hulk" with a global box office of only 400 million US dollars, has been close to recovering the cost through various late-stage copyrights, while the "X-Men" series and "Captain America" In one episode, the cost can basically be recovered through the box office, and the subsequent derivatives are almost all profitable.


    This situation also made the surprise confident. In addition to the focused "Iron Man" series, "Thor" has also been put on the agenda by them. The script has been written and is in the final revision stage. The director and main actors are now being selected. Candidates.


    According to Marvel¡¯s internal plan, the first part of "Avengers" will definitely be released before 2010.


    In addition, Surprise is still preparing a separate "Wolverine" series, and has already started negotiations with Hugh Jackman. The new "X-Men" series has also been included in their agenda, which will tell the story between Magneto, Professor X and the Magic Girl from a new perspective.


    As long as it is profitable, these superhero series movies will continue to appear on the big screen.


    Comics and toy movies will definitely occupy an important market share in commercial movies in the next ten years. As far as Ryan knows, after the great success of "Wonder Woman", comics are also preparing for the Justice League series.


    This summer file. "Superman Returns" created by Warner Bros. and comics will also be released. This film is currently full of power. Its single-film production cost is as high as 270 million US dollars, which is the highest production cost in history.


    In fact, at the top of Hollywood, some news is not a secret at all. Time Warner has raised a total of 350 million US dollars in upfront funding for this film, but 50 million US dollars are all changing scripts, directors, and actors. The bumpy road was hit by water, although Brian Singh only spent $270 million to complete all the productions. But counting the promotional and marketing expenses that must be invested, "Superman Returns" is definitely the most expensive movie in history.


    The original comic film was a dominance, and after the rapid rise of surprise and continuous success, Time Warner naturally wanted to share delicious cakes from the market. To this end, he has invested a lot of money.


    Especially the success of "Wonder Woman" made them understand that the comic heroes are not out of date.


    What is the box office of "Superman Returns" in the previous life?


    Sitting on the plane to the Hawaiian Islands, Ryan was still thinking about the memory of the movie in his mind. The North American box office couldn''t remember it. I vaguely remember that the global box office was less than 400 million U.S. dollars...


    If the box office in this world is still so miserable, how long will it take for Warner to recover its costs after the post-operation period? Ten years or twenty years?


    The sound of soft footsteps sounded. Ryan turned his head and saw Tyler walking into the front cabin of the plane holding a big Pooh Bear, sitting opposite him, and yawning slightly.


    "Why did you wake up so soon?"


    Ryan waved to the bar, and immediately a flight attendant brought two cups of coffee. Taylor took a sip before saying, "Recently, I always fly around in a plane and it''s hard to fall asleep."


    "Alison..."


    Seeing the girl about to lose the last bit of baby fat cheeks, Ryan felt a little distressed, "Honey, you can reduce some announcements."


    "I understand that even if I do nothing, I can live happily without any worries."


    Putting down the coffee cup, Taylor grabbed the platinum curly hair tied into a ponytail and said, "But this is my business. I remember you told me years ago that you must treat your career as seriously as you treat your life. Work hard."


    "My dear, you''re really grown up." Ryan had habitually wanted to reach out and rub her head, but he immediately took it back, "We are all proud of you."


    "Why don''t you build an airport on Lanai?"


    As the plane was about to land, Taylor fastened his seat belt and leaned to the porthole, looking at the gradually enlarged scenery below, and said, "Every time I come over, I have to change the helicopter. It''s too much trouble."


    "Building an airport is not that easy." Ryan also fastened his seat belt. "It''s just a change of helicopter, which will take more than ten minutes."


    The Boeing plane landed at Hawaii International Airport on Oahu. Ryan and his team changed to a helicopter and flew directly to Lanai, which is not too far away.


    It is now the peak tourist season in Hawaii, and you can see yachts and ferries coming and going on the sea flying over. After Ryan bought Lanai Island, he invested hundreds of millions of dollars to improve some infrastructure, and the tourism environment was greatly improved. In particular, several natural tropical rain forests and golf clubs built by the sea have attracted more and more tourists.


    In addition, a Jurassic Park is still being expanded on the island. One of the most well-known aspects of the island is the location of the movie "Jurassic Park".


    Lanai has also formed its own tourism industry. Although the annual output is barely enough to maintain expenditure, the more than 2,000 residents on the island are the most direct beneficiaries, and tourism can bring them enough income.


    Of course, in addition to tourism, there is also a pineapple plantation. Lanai is one of the largest pineapple producing areas in the world.


    After the helicopter landed, Ryan and Taylor found Nicole in the pineapple garden.


    "Can I touch it?"


    After saying hello, the three of them walked into the wooden house on the side of the pineapple garden. Tyler looked at Nicole''s puffed up belly naughty, sitting on the chair and dangling, "Is this a boy or a girl?"


    "do not know yet."


    After Elsa placed the cushions, Nicole sat on the back chair with Ryan''s support, "Honey, do you want one more brother or sister?"


    "I''m an aunt!" Taylor clenched his fist, shook it hard, and emphasized, "Nicole, I''m an aunt!"


    "Then you can be an aunt."


    After taking a fresh pineapple, Ryan stuffed it directly to Taylor, "You have the job of peeling it."


    "Alright alright."


    Taylor had just picked up the knife, Elsa had already walked over and took the pineapple from her hand, "I''ll do it."


    "Elsa." Taylor pursed slightly, "My technology has improved."


    "Have you forgotten?" Nicole''s housekeeper raised a finger and motioned. "When you came last month, you cut all your fingers and Lily''s fingers."


    "Ah, what about that kid Lily Mo Shin?" Tyler seemed to think of something. "She should still be on the island, right?"


    "She''s in class." It was Nicole who was talking, and she kept holding Ryan''s hand next to her. "It''s about half an hour before get out of class ends."


    "Kate thought about it?" Ryan pulled a strand of blonde hair from Nicole behind his head. "Is she sure you want Lily to be an actress?"


    "Lily''s talent is good." Nicole nodded lightly. "She started from a high enough level and has advantages that most people don''t have."


    Ryan also understands Nicole''s words. From now on, he and Nicole''s goddaughter alone will be enough to crush most of the actors of the same period.


    Besides, many descendants of Hollywood celebrities will follow the same or similar path as their parents. This is actually very common in various industries in North America.


    And Lily Mo Xin has already guest-starred in many Disney films or dramas. As long as she is sixteen to twenty-five years old, there will be no situation similar to Lindsay Lohan, even if she can¡¯t leave. The position of the first-line movie star, but becoming a well-known actor is not very difficult.


    Afterwards, Nicole talked about some basic information about Lily Mo Xin, the goddaughter.


    Like Taylor and Stewart¡¯s tomboys, after Kate Beckinsale filed with relevant agencies, she began to receive family education. In addition to the daily cultural class time, she also has half an hour of acting class.


    Kate Beckinsale is a smart woman who knows that she will never be able to make a difference in acting in her life, so she naturally does not want her daughter to become a pure vase like her in the future.


    After tasting the pineapple produced in Fan¡¯s own pineapple garden, UU Reading left the wooden house and walked towards the manor. The road was not too far. Nicole didn¡¯t want to take a battery car. Ryan and Taylor accompanied him on the left and right. She walked through the stone road surrounded by palm trees.


    "The air here is good, and the scenery is beautiful."


    Looking at the faintly visible sea and villa in the distance, Taylor seemed to be quite emotional, "I really want to rest here for a month."


    "By May." Nicole patted her on the back indulgently, "You can live with me here."


    "Is the due date for May?" Taylor seemed to know a lot.


    "Late May." Ryan replied.


    "That''s okay." Tyler took Nicole''s arm affectionately, "Anyway, a new record will only be released in the second half of the year. I will move over to live here with you in May."


    "At that time we will mark Lanai Island as a restricted area." She rolled her sapphire eyes, "No one else including Ryan can enter." (To be continued...)()

 Chapter 715： Babys future

    "godfather¡­¡­"


    Lily Moxin walked into the room, turned to the back of the desk, and said to Ryan, who was sitting in front of the computer, "Godmother and sister want to go out and let you drive."


    "Lily, go tell them." Ryan''s eyes moved away from the email, "Assemble in front of the villa in ten minutes."


    "Yeah~"


    The little girl nodded seriously, turned and walked outside the door, "Godfather, goodbye."


    This little guy!


    Ryan couldn''t help shook his head. Lily was okay when facing Nicole and Taylor. Before him, she looked like a standard little lady.


    Probably it is because of the small number of meetings with them. Although it is a goddess, in fact, I don¡¯t see them a few times in a year.


    Turning off the mailbox and computer, Ryan went to the locker room to change his home clothes, wore a short sportswear, and went directly down the elevator to the underground garage. He deliberately chose a four-seater RV with a larger space, and he didn¡¯t rush or drive slowly. Arrived in front of the main entrance of the villa.


    "Hey, dear."


    Ryan stopped the car, jumped down and helped Nicole to the car with Tyler. After Lily climbed up to the position of the co-pilot, he restarted the car, "Where do you want to go?"


    "Walk around the island." Nicole pressed the button and lowered the middle baffle.


    He gestured an''ok'' gesture to the rearview mirror. Ryan drove slowly away from the manor and turned into the road around the island that was just paved. Because of Nicole''s presence, he didn''t drive fast, and he couldn''t drive too fast. It¡¯s about twenty-five miles away, which is convenient for three passengers to enjoy the scenery on the island.


    The overall shape of Lanai is like a pear. The island is like spring all year round and the sun is shining brightly. Although it is only at the end of March, it is already a world full of flowers.


    Looking at the sea not far away through the car window glass, it seemed as if the veil of a huge picture was suddenly lifted. What catches the eye is the bright sunshine all over the world, and the overwhelming, refreshing blue, the azure sea, the blue sky, the sea and the sky meet, from the light blue moment to the deep blue, the sky is like a paintbrush, which connects the sea with the sea. The blue sky is separated by a stroke.


    Driving away from the gentle area near Lanai City, the terrain began to undulate slightly. The coast of this island is full of rocky and cliffs. The terrain is rugged. When building the road around the island, although safety and other factors are considered, the roads are mostly relatively flat areas, but there are still many gentle slopes.


    Rugged rocks and waves hit the shore. Compared with closed beaches like Crescent Bay, they are also unique.


    The four people in the car didn''t talk much, Ryan drove the car intently, not wanting to get distracted. In the back of the car are people who are extremely important to him.


    The three women of different sizes in the car, apart from Lily''s rather boring playing with game consoles, Nicole and Taylor are all looking out the window, occasionally encountering special scenery. The two also discussed a few words during the meeting. During the two double-decker tour buses they encountered, they also beckoned to people in a friendly manner.


    Perhaps it would be boring to see too many cliffs, and the other side of the road is a completely different view. Looking around, the large pineapple orchard is connected to a large farm, and the entire pineapple field has also made Lanai one of the world''s largest pineapple production areas.


    Lanai is also known as the pineapple island.


    For the pineapple industry on the island. Ryan and Nicole didn¡¯t get too involved. After paying enough fees every year, Durr, the world¡¯s largest pineapple production company, continued to grow pineapples on the island in an orderly manner and sell them to the island as in the past few decades. All over the world.


    Bypassing this huge pineapple garden, the car entered the rainforest area on the southeast of Lanai Island, where a small original tropical forest is maintained. It is also the area where the two sequels of "Jurassic Park" were shot.


    If you go out of the woods, you can see a traditional Hawaiian palace, which was built by the former King Kamehameha I of Hawaii. Although it is only 200 years old, it is the history of Lanai. The oldest building.


    But having said that, this is just a house that is fairly well preserved.


    At the beginning, Nicole once wanted to build the manor here, but after seeing this historic palace, she immediately gave up this plan.


    Nowadays, this palace is also regarded as a famous attraction on the island, especially since it is on the other side of Lanai City. Even if you are riding a bicycle, it does not take much time, and it is not far from it, which is used to attract tourists. Jurassic Park has already taken shape.


    "Lily."


    Nicole at the back spoke, "Want to go in and have a look?"


    "I don''t want to."


    Lily Moxin, who was sitting in the co-pilot, shook her head, "Godmother, I just visited with the teacher a few days ago."


    "Honey." Ryan asked briefly, "What''s in it?"


    "Tyrannosaurus, Pterosaur, Velociraptor, Hadrosaurus..."


    The little girl bit her finger and thought for a while, "Brachiosaurus, Triceratops. Godfather, there are some I forgot."


    Lanai is not too big, and the coastline is only more than 40 miles. Although Ryan controlled the speed of the car, more than an hour later, the car turned back to the vicinity of the manor.


    "Go home?"


    Through the rearview mirror, Ryan looked at Nicole. After she nodded, she turned the steering wheel and turned into the road leading to the manor.


    The sky gradually dimmed, and there was dazzling lights in the manor. Sitting in the small open-air restaurant on the top floor of the villa, looking in the direction of the manor¡¯s entrance, occasionally I could see tourists who broke into the vicinity and were stopped by the manor security staff. Departed sadly, as Lanai was opened to tourists, most people also knew who the owner was.


    "By the way, I forgot to tell you."


    Nicole, who was eating food with small bites, suddenly put down his knife and fork, "Last week, Larry Ellison¡¯s Rising Sun used to dock at the island¡¯s dock. He came to meet me and wanted to buy it for $700 million. Lanai."


    "Are we short of milk powder money?" Ryan said casually.


    Tyler had already laughed, and Nicole glared at her, and then said to Ryan, "I don''t want to sell it either. In this case, I''ll let someone pass a message and refuse him."


    "Tell him directly, this is not for sale." Ryan added.


    It''s best to make it clear directly, otherwise, if you use Larry Ellison''s madman, you may continue to increase the price.


    Dinner lasted about an hour. After dinner, Ryan accompanied Nicole to go downstairs and went back to the room. Tyler took Lily into the private theater and went to see her favorite. A light-hearted animated feature film.


    This is a copy specially given to Ryan by Fox in the 20th century. The cartoon is naturally the latest "Ice Age" produced by the Blue Sky Studio they bought. Although this studio is ranked among the three major animation studios in Hollywood One, but there is only such a sign.


    It was not without reason that Ryan was willing to transfer the Blue Sky Studio to 20th Century Fox.


    "Alison is going to Europe tomorrow."


    Sitting on the bedside of the bedroom, Nicole flipped through a book on childcare and said to Ryan, who was gently massaging her swollen calf, "When are you leaving?"


    "A few days later." Ryan rubbed his swollen calf, which was no longer slender. "When I came over, Kate called me. Zach Schneider completed most of the post-production work of the film. I want to Go and take a look."


    "Oh¡­¡­"


    Nicole was also interested. Since coming to Lanai, she has completely thrown her work aside, and can''t help asking curiously, "When will the film be released?"


    "Mid July." Ryan moved Nicole''s other leg to his knee. "Always diverge from Disney''s "Jurassic Park 3" for a while, otherwise it will definitely be impacted."


    "so."


    Far away from Hollywood for too long, Nicole seems to miss her previous life very much, "This movie made with imax3d technology was completed on time?"


    "Don''t forget, its director is Steven Spielberg." Ryan joked casually, "Hollywood''s first fast shooter."


    Even with that said, the film can be completed, and it is indispensable to work overtime.


    "If everything goes well..." Nicole closed the book, and her beautiful golden eyebrows were slightly furrowed together. "I will be able to recover in mid-July, and I will be able to attend the premiere of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors". Reflection."


    Everyone has their own favorite lifestyle. The Hollywood lifestyle that focuses on the spotlight and is glamorous is undoubtedly very suitable for Nicole.


    "Your task now..."


    Removing Nicole''s legs, Ryan crawled to her side and kissed the white and smooth forehead, "Relax, and wait for our baby to be born."


    "Ryan..." Nicole''s eyes blinked quickly, and her face turned to the other side, "Have you considered the baby''s future?"


    "Of course." Ryan nodded quickly, "If it was a girl, she would be the happiest princess in the world; if it was a boy, I would teach him and hone him..."


    "Like Alison?" Nicole turned her head back honey. "Ryan had to spread his hands, "We all understand that this world is not naive at all." "


    "You are still the same." Nicole sighed softly, "I always like to look at the world from the dark side."


    "If it''s a girl, we can protect her in the future. Even if we grow old, Alison can protect her." Ryan leaned over and gently embraced Nicole by the shoulders, "If it is a boy, the situation will be reversed. Come here, I need him to grow up to protect the people he loves."


    "According to you." Nicole slipped into Ryan''s arms and slowly closed her eyes, "I want a girl more."


    Nicole once wanted to check the baby¡¯s gender, but was stopped by Ryan¡¯s words-Surprise is left at the end. In fact, for her, there is not much difference between a boy or a girl. This is what she hopes a lot. Years of little life.


    After staying in Lanai for more than a week, Ryan returned to Los Angeles, where there is still a series of jobs waiting for him. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 716： Promotion and marketing

    Soon after returning to Los Angeles, Ryan went to Jenkins Pictures. The "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" produced by Kidman Studios and directed by Zach Schneider was held in the large conference room here. No film critics were invited to participate in the preview of the movie. Except for some representatives of the theater chain, most of the media that appeared here were Disney''s media.


    The film has completed all the post-production work, and the picture with cg special effects is very visually impactful. This is definitely not an epic war film in the traditional sense. In a sense, it is more like three hundred strong men wearing red pants. The long mv.


    However, traditional epic films are only now worrying theaters.


    After two nearly crazy epic years in 2004 and 2005, the failure of a series of major productions such as "King Arthur", "Alexander the Great" and "Kings of Heaven" almost pushed this genre to the dilemma faced by pirates in Hollywood. Not only the producers and distributors, but even the theaters have concerns about this subject matter.


    Without a few years of buffering, this situation will not be significantly improved.


    Fortunately, the strong muscles, the flying blood, and the free spirit in it make "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" seem to be quite a selling point. However, after the trial film meeting, some theaters still had concerns and did not agree with the publisher. Jenkins Pictures reached an agreement.


    In this way, Ryan predicts that the first week of the film will be at most three thousand theaters, which can only be regarded as average for the commercial productions released by Disney in recent years.


    But epic films are facing a huge dilemma, and this situation is also normal.


    The quality of the film is guaranteed, and Jenkins Film¡¯s skilled team is responsible for the promotion and distribution. Ryan just gave Nicole a reassuring call, and temporarily put "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" aside. .


    As long as there are no major problems with publicity and distribution, the chances of making money for the film are far greater than losing money.


    As for whether the film will be criticized for being too violent and **** after its release, in the face of sufficient commercial interests. These are not problems at all.


    In addition to "Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan", Walt Disney has invested more resources in the films produced by its subsidiaries. It is getting closer and closer to the summer file. "Iron Man" is about to hit a blockbuster. After Scarlett Johansson finished filming the Easter eggs, the two were inevitably taken out by Surprise Pictures to make a fuss.


    In an interview, Stan Lee revealed to reporters, "In the universe setting of the Marvel movie, the relationship between Black Widow Natasha Normanoff and Captain America Steve Rogers will be different. For the development of comics. These will be initially shown in the Easter eggs that Ryan and Miss Johnson shot for "Iron Man"."


    "I like this character very much and the interaction between Black Widow and Captain America." Scarlett said in an interview with Disney''s online channel. "During World War II, Steve Rogers saved Natasha? Normanov, when they met again, it had been nearly seventy years. It was a feeling of a world away. This feeling would have a huge impact on the characters¡¯ hearts, when those comrades who had fought together because of After aging and death, the two people who had undergone human experiments met in a modern society. Only they can understand each other''s feelings."


    When the reporter asked about the relationship between Black Widow and Iron Man in the film universe, Scarlett, who was instructed by Marvel Comics, had already generously admitted, "Natasha Normanoff and Tony Stark will have an intersection. Because they will form a team, one of the most powerful combat combination on earth-the Avengers!"


    Although the media and veteran movie fans have guessed the ambition of surprise, this is the first time anyone has admitted it in public. "The Avengers" is already in the planning of Marvel Comics and Walt Disney.


    Tony Stark must be one of them. After Scarlett¡¯s interview, "Iron Man" immediately attracted more attention.


    In addition, "Agent Carter" produced by Marvel Pictures also landed on TV in mid-April. This miniseries mainly tells the story of Peggy Carter, who was played by Hayley Atwell, losing Steve? In the work life after Rogers, Tony Stark''s father Howard Stark played an important role.


    This series is a supplement to the movie universe and the origins of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Walt Disney launches it during this time period. Naturally, it wants the miniseries to form a benign interaction with the Marvel superhero movies. From the ratings and response of the first episode , The effect is quite good, although many people are missing the Nicole version of Peggy Carter, they also understand that it is basically impossible to make a popular two-time Oscar queen star in a miniseries.


    Although Tony Stark has not yet been born in the drama, a series of black technologies such as the Ark Reactor have already taken shape.


    Of course, Robert Downey Jr. specially attended the press conference held by Marvel Pictures for "Agent Carter". As the star of "Iron Man", he accepted joint interviews with many media.


    "In the comics world, the "Iron Man" series is as famous as "Spider-Man", "X-Men" and "Captain America." Robert Downey Jr. focused on "Iron Man". "This comic has become popular. It has been for decades, and has been concerned by readers. Because he is not a biological variant, or bitten by insects. He is just an ordinary man, using his intelligence to create a steel garment, one of the greatest inventions of mankind. ."


    He is still far from reaching the position of a Hollywood star, and he understands the importance of this series to him, "I think''Iron Man'' is a very interesting character; in "Spiderman" and "X-Men", Marvel has been successfully created A super hero, but the reason why this story is suitable for adaptation is that it touches social issues and the world in which we live. This story is about salvation, and an ordinary person who can be transformed into a hero, and he must encounter misfortune to exert his power. "


    To be precise, the character of Tony Stark has a lot in common with Robert Downey Jr¡¯s own experience. Under Disney¡¯s public relations, the media can see "Robert Downey Jr is for Iron Man". News like "Born".


    In short, all this has raised the audience''s expectations for "Iron Man".


    In addition to "Iron Man", Disney has also invested huge financial and manpower on "Cars". The animated feature films produced by Pixar Studios have always been a guarantee of profitability, especially the profits generated by derivatives, which are enough to make Hollywood any A film company jealous.


    As early as when "Looking for Nemo" was released, Pixar Studios advertised "Cars" in the film. Since August last year, the film''s series of publicity plans have been officially launched.


    Disney made a 3D punch at the cg event. In the next few years, the four animation blockbusters of "Cars", "Ratuitou", "Robot Wall" and "Flying House Universal" will be released collectively. Many viewers gave it a sneak peek and were enthusiastic about it.


    And the one that received the most attention was "Cars", which was released this summer.


    In the publicity, Disney also vigorously hyped that this is the first animation work using "ray tracing" technology, which can help the car characters themselves and the environment they are in to be more authentic and credible.


    Since the "Toy Story" series came out, Pixar Studios has been holding the leading position of animated films. Today, Pixar Studios has long been synonymous with "high-quality animated films."


    In order to promote "Cars 2", Walt Disney, Yahoo and many other partners once again took out the experience of Pixar Studios to hype, and even on the homepage of the increasingly influential yutube website, there was also a dedicated one dedicated to Pixar Studios. Video produced.


    This video mixes and cuts the classic cartoons produced by Pixar Studios, with the voice of Hook Cowboy-Tom Hanks of course-to introduce everyone to the advantages and characteristics of Pixar.


    "To ensure that each new work has a technical breakthrough, it is the performance of Pixar''s pursuit of perfection. However, in addition to the superb graphic expression, what really touches people''s hearts is a wonderful and moving story."


    "Although the stories told by Pixar animation films are worlds that are not closely related to reality, and the characters in them are unlikely to appear in our lives. Many of them are not even humans, but the audience can find their own shadows in them. To the cute commonalities of human beings, as well as their terrible shortcomings."


    "The most shining advantage of Pixar Studios lies in the magic of their storytellingWhy are we full of love when watching Pixar animation? What makes us so obsessed with Pixar''s animated characters? And what is it suddenly? Stimulates our lacrimal glands? It all depends on how Pixar''s works tell stories, how they tell stories..."


    Along with the main characters of "Cars 2", the animated characters that have left a deep impression on the audience on the big screen, together with the commentary voice of Tom Hanks, have been spread to many Internet users.


    In the film market where supply exceeds demand, the importance of publicity is not at all under the quality of the film. Ryan and the Disney Group will not ignore the role of publicity because of their past success. This is a fast-paced era. The era of eyeball economy is also a fickle era.


    As the creative director of Walt Disney, Ryan¡¯s biggest job is undoubtedly paying attention to the works launched by various companies and departments under Disney. Today, the Walt Disney Group has been at the forefront of Hollywood in the film and television industry, and As time goes by, the advantages become more and more obvious.


    The film and television industry itself creates limited profits, but it can provide high-quality content for the entire group''s online and offline operations. When Disney''s channels are expanding, excellent content will undoubtedly generate huge market suction. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 717： I am iron man

    On May 4th, before the first weekend of May, "Iron Man" held a grand premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, including Charlize Theron, Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart. The X-Men, as well as Ryan, Scarlett Johansson and many other members of the Avengers who have appeared, all appeared at the premiere.


    In addition to the heroes and heroines Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow, who overwhelmed everyone in the limelight, the focus of the media¡¯s attention is also in the "Thor" project that has been announced by Surprise, who will play the leading actor Chris Hemsworth.


    Although this is an unknown Australian actor, judging from the current momentum of Marvel''s starmaking, as long as the film is released, it is very likely to become a mainstream commercial film star.


    The Hammer from the previous life is still living in the Australian television circle. When the people sent by Ryan found him, he was almost stunned by the big pie falling from the world. As for the one who was destined to fall in love with him The hammer brother who killed him also reached an agreement with Marvel, but he couldn''t appear here because he was shooting other movies.


    In addition to "Thor", Marvel is still in the process of selecting the main creative team of "The Avengers". Although this is just a standard Hollywood popcorn movie, but it combines so many characters and elements into one film, the director is still Needs considerable skill.


    The candidate for surprise was originally Jon Feiru, but the fat man rejected him. He directly admitted that he did not possess such ability.


    Then the news reached Ryan, and he recommended Jos Weiden, who was the director in the previous life, but the other party''s resume made the surprise hesitate.


    After all, he just messed up the investment of Universal Pictures.


    Speaking of Jos Weiden. His most famous work in the past must be "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". This series once had a huge influence among North American teenagers, but after entering the new century. "Firefly", written and produced by him, encountered Waterloo.


    In 2002, "Firefly" only aired 11 episodes on Fox TV. Because of the chaotic setting structure and poor ratings, it was directly cut off. Although the DVD was a small fire later, Jos Weyden was attracted from Universal Pictures to invest in the film version, but it was still a pot. A messy hodgepodge, last year''s box office also proved that the cowboy western science fiction intentions are problematic. In the words of a Hollywood industry insider, Jos Weiden ruined himself from the moment this idea appeared in his mind.


    Whether it¡¯s Jos Weydon¡¯s past works, or the "Avengers" recommended by Ryan, they are all fully commercialized works. In fact, it is no wonder that there are doubts about the surprise, because the box office of "Firefly" is too far. It''s miserable, the global box office only has a pitiful more than 38 million US dollars.


    This kind of box office is really not convincing, and what he is shooting is a commercial movie. Rather than niche literary films.


    However, Jos Weiden was not completely excluded from the surprise aspect, and he was in contact with him. This kind of large investment involving hundreds of millions of dollars is very normal to be cautious. If they slap their heads, they will decide. Perhaps Ryan will consider whether it is time to replace the surprised senior.


    After all, no one will let a group of guys with water in their heads run a company worth nearly four billion dollars for themselves.


    "Hi Scarlett, you look like..."


    As soon as he entered the VIP lounge of the theater, Ryan saw Scarlett Johansson. "It seems to have lost a lot of weight."


    "Thank you, Ryan." Although Scarlett said carelessly that she didn''t care. But which woman will not care about her weight, "I have been losing weight and fitness recently. I also have to prepare for the sequel to "Hurricane Rescue"."


    "I remember going to Istanbul to shoot on the spot."


    Ryan followed Stan Lee who was passing by and beckoned. Without waiting for him to speak, Charlize, wearing a moon-white evening dress, came over. She seemed to have heard the conversation between the two people. After taking Ryan''s arm, she interjected. Said, "I heard it''s your turn to rescue your father this time?"


    "Almost." Scarlett''s eyes turned to Charlize. "Disney wants to launch a sequel next year. The script is written very quickly."


    "By the way, Charlie." She said again, "Do you have no new works this year?"


    "There are a few scripts, and I haven''t figured out which one to pick up yet." Charlize shrugged elegantly. "Now is the key stage of ct''s development. My work is a bit busy, and I will be attending the World Cup in Germany next month. ."


    "So it''s the World Cup year again." Ryan rarely pays attention to this aspect in this life.


    "You guys continue..." Scarlett waved to the other side, "I''ll talk to Christine for a while."


    Seeing Scarlett leaving, Ryan simply walked towards the screening hall with Charlize, "Have you encountered any difficulties?"


    "Not for the time being." Charlize leaned into his ear and said softly, "You have helped me solve most of the funding and publicity issues. CT can rise in less than two years, even I can''t believe it myself. "


    Ryan just patted Charlize''s hand lightly, and said nothing.


    In just over a year, the total sales of CT''s candy and fashion products exceeded 150 million U.S. dollars. Although there are reasons to rely on Disney, Charlize''s own efforts cannot be ignored.


    While greeting others, the two found their seats. After sitting down, Charlize asked, "Go to Germany together next month?"


    "Do you have a lot of activities over there?" Ryan asked rhetorically.


    "You know, the 2010 World Cup was held in my hometown." Charlize got closer. "I want to participate in many promotional activities with the South African organizing committee."


    "Look at the time then."


    It is difficult for him to cast too many eyes in football.


    Like most superheroes in Marvel, Iron Man is a hero with weaknesses. Tony Stark is an entrepreneur and a **** with a dazzling life. It is similar to last year¡¯s thin-story Hulk. By comparison, the film¡¯s storyline can be described as ups and downs. The protagonist¡¯s complex multiple identities make the story thrilling and interlocking, which is quite exciting.


    In addition, the protagonist''s identity as a technical otaku will surely be recognized by a considerable part of the audience.


    As a film full of black technology, special effects are another big selling point.


    The dazzling high-tech display has become a highlight of the film, especially in Tony Stark¡¯s private studio, which is full of various novel technologies. The special effects of the film are produced by Industrial Light and Magic, and they are successfully integrated. Digital special effects and real images are definitely the highest level that Hollywood special effects technology can reach.


    In the film, the transformation process of Iron Man is broken down, and it is even detailed to how the parts are matched and how the joints are connected. The dazzling colors and the rhythmic mechanical sound constitute a unique viewing effect, and Iron Man breaks through the speed of sound. Special effects such as speeding and high-altitude flight have also reached the realm that astounds the audience.


    After all, the biggest selling point of this type of film is to use super popular special effects to create the limit of audiovisual perception.


    Of course, the film also has many novel plots. For example, at the final press conference, Tony Stark faced countless reporters and said, "I am Iron Man"!


    The veiled superhero era has passed, and a high-profile and publicistic superhero was born.


    This film is full of joy, whether it is the plot, the special effects, or the performances of the main actors, it is very pleasing. This is reflected in the extremely warm applause from the general audience in the back row after the subtitles were dropped. It can be seen.


    In today''s era, the response speed of the Internet has surpassed that of traditional media as a whole. Even those film critics who have online columns are far not as fast as netizens'' comments on the Internet.


    After all, those film critics still need to pay attention to art and connotation, while ordinary audiences write only the most intuitive feelings after watching the movie.


    "A very entertaining movie carnival."


    "It''s fast-paced, humorous, and very entertaining."


    "This is a funny hero who loves stinky butts! The ending ¡®.man¡¯ is so handsome."


    "This movie adapted from Marvel Comics has absolutely dazzling equipment, exciting tasks, and eye-catching comedic effects."


    Not only ordinary audiences, but relatively young film critics also appreciate the film. The famous female film critic Claudia Pugle, who has been deeply influenced by Disney''s public relations, wrote in the online column.


    "Iron Man is a wonderful, moving and unusual superhero movie. Tony Stark has almost all men¡¯s dreams in his body-rich ~ www.novelhall.com ~ status, sports car , There are private jets, beautiful women, super high IQ, courage, and a sense of justice-of course, the most important thing is that he has a sense of reality that other superheroes don¡¯t have. Maybe Tony builds more than just his steel The battle suit is the dream in the minds of every audience."


    The following day¡¯s "Los Angeles Times" also did not hesitate to praise the film.


    "Playboy, chatter, super genius, high-profile rich second generation, the success of "Iron Man" lies in subverting the previous tradition of low-key, serious, serious, and incognito superheroes, with the ultimate personal charm, and relatively pure The high-tech geek style and the fight against terrorists are more in line with the current social situation in the United States."


    As for Disney''s media, it is natural to wait for the movie to go to the sky.


    "A mercenary arms dealer, after experiencing life changes and getting out of danger, turns into a philanthropist and a lone ranger who punishes evil. The storyline of the film is vivid and exciting, the actors'' acting skills are also very good, and the level of computer stunts is absolutely superb. This is not only a science fiction film, but also an inspirational film."


    In terms of public opinion, Disney has made sufficient preparations, and the rest will depend on the market''s response. (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 718： This is my angel

    The production cost of "Iron Man" is 140 million U.S. dollars, and the publicity cost is 80 million U.S. dollars. Although some of the costs are recovered through advertising sponsorship, etc., Surprise has undoubtedly smashed a huge investment in this film. If only praise can be gained, and the market reaction is mediocre, it can only be described as tragedy.


    There is always only one standard for measuring commercial films, and that is commercial revenue.


    Fortunately, the North American box office on Friday gave Marvel and Disney a reassurance. "Iron Man" earned 37.23 million US dollars in box office in 4,150 theaters in just one day, which basically indicates the first week of the film. The North American box office can launch a sprint to the $100 million mark.


    Disney has also increased its publicity for the film, and even Ryan personally went into battle. When attending a charity party on Friday night, he sang the praises of "Iron Man" to dozens of reporters.


    "Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this is nothing more than a ¡®Hollywood-style¡¯ assembly line commercial product."


    Like other commercial movies, "Iron Man" has been attacked by those old film critics. "But in my eyes, this is a video art that perfectly combines the beauty of the human body and the mechanical principles. The dynamics of Iron Man''s unique actions are not simple. It can be photographed alone, shouldn''t people know and feel the realm of action art like this?"


    Everything is like the normal law of commercial movies. On Saturday, "Iron Man"''s North American box office rose to 40.35 million U.S. dollars, reaching the peak of the single-day box office, and then fell to 28.03 million U.S. dollars the following day.


    In the first three days of the weekend, the North American box office of "Iron Man" successfully surpassed 100 million U.S. dollars and reached 105.61 million U.S. dollars. It can be said to be a good start for the summer season of the entire North American film market.


    In the following week, "Iron Man" did not encounter a rival of the same magnitude. In just ten days, the North American box office of the film exceeded $185 million, becoming the hottest film so far this year. .


    Even though the overseas releases have just begun, it is no exaggeration to say that "Iron Man" has already achieved success.


    As an important part of the entire series, the success of "Iron Man" brought not only monetary gains, but also played a preheating role for "Avengers", further preparing the ground, and strengthening it again. Marvel¡¯s confidence in its superheroes.


    Marvel has dozens of comic characters that are only very popular, and the continuous success has naturally prompted them to want to put more superheroes on the big screen.


    However, after Ryan and Marvel¡¯s high-level communication, the two sides quickly reached an agreement that Marvel will not make too many moves for the time being before the release of "The Avengers".


    Superhero movies require a huge amount of investment. If Walt Disney does not inject enough funds, Surprise will not have enough budget to support excessive film preparation plans.


    Today''s Surprise, although it has a high degree of freedom, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Walt Disney.


    It was not until mid-May that "Iron Man" met a real opponent in North America. The thriller and suspense film "The Da Vinci Code" directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks and Lillis Howard was officially launched. Released in North America.


    Because the novel has accumulated a large number of book fans, the position of the top of the North American bestseller list for more than ten consecutive weeks and the huge controversy in the content have attracted the attention of countless viewers, and it has even been hailed as the most anticipated in 2006. One of the videos.


    Even though the audience''s reputation for the movie version of "The Da Vinci Code" was messed up, it performed well in business. The first week''s box office of more than $77 million completely overwhelmed "Iron Man"''s third weekend of $32.83 million. It is also the second highest weekly box office in North America this year.


    Facts have proved that religious films with huge controversy can always attract the attention of the audience.


    Despite the different reviews, this film can still have a big box office start in North America, because there are countless pairs of curious eyes around the world waiting to see what this novel with 40 million readers will look like when it is adapted into a movie. .


    Also in this week, the North American box office of "Iron Man" surpassed 200 million U.S. dollars, reaching above 234.2 million, and the film¡¯s landing in several major overseas ticket warehouses also reached ten days, and it was also the most popular in this period of time. The film¡¯s global box office easily exceeded $430 million.


    Not to mention the skyrocketing global box office, the three versions of Iron Man dolls alone have sold nearly 3 million sets in the English-speaking area, creating a profit of more than 9 million U.S. dollars for Walt Disney, although the DVD and TV rights are far from When it came to benefit, it sold more than 20 million U.S. dollars for peripheral products such as toys, images, and comics.


    If you include other world regions such as the Far East and Continental Europe, which are negotiating for authorization, this revenue figure can double.


    However, these are not important to Ryan. After sending Charlize to Germany, he rushed to Lanai Island in Hawaii, waiting for the feeling of being a father for the first time in his past and present life.


    An entire top medical team in the U.S. and the equipment they need were shipped to the island by yacht early on and ordered at any time.


    In the silent corridor, Ryan walked around anxiously, and the eyes of Tyler and Lily Moxin who were sitting in the chairs also moved back and forth with him. This situation lasted for almost half an hour.


    "Hey, hello, hello..." Taylor finally couldn''t help it, jumped off the chair, pointed to the delivery room door and said, "Ryan, if you are in a hurry, you can go in."


    "My dear." Ryan had to stop, "I was driven out by Nicole half an hour ago."


    He didn''t want to be inside, but after Nicole opened his eyes, he had to walk out. Now even if the old guy of God said, Nicole''s opinion was not as important.


    "Poor Ryan." Taylor couldn''t help but shook his head.


    "godfather¡­¡­"


    Suddenly, a little hand tugged Ryan, but it was Lily Moxin that kid, she seemed more sensible than Taylor, "Don''t worry."


    "Okay, Lily." Ryan took her back to the chair again, "I''m not worried."


    Ryan also understood that apart from waiting for this kind of thing, he couldn''t help much. He simply sat next to Lily and pointed at Taylor to his side. This guy who has grown to five feet and eleven inches, dear. Sat down.


    The delivery room and even this floor were rebuilt in the past six months. The sound insulation effect is very good. Apart from the vaguely familiar cry of pain, Ryan can hardly hear any other sounds, and he can''t help but feel a little anxious.


    At this kind of moment, it must be false to say that he is not worried, even if he does not believe in any religion at all, he secretly crossed his chest.


    Father, a feeling that I have never experienced or can''t tell.


    If Nicole and the others can be safe, tomorrow I will definitely convert to Catholicism sincerely...


    Just as Ryan was thinking about it, the door of the delivery room suddenly opened. Several female nurses pushed Nicole out of the hospital bed. Ryan immediately greeted him and reached out and held one of Nicole''s hands. .


    "My dear..." He followed the pushed hospital bed closely, his slender fingers gently ran across Nicole''s sweaty cheeks, "You have worked hard."


    "Daughter..." Nicole said softly.


    "She..." Ryan''s eyes swept across all the nurses, "Where is she?"


    "Mr. Jenkins."


    Probably the woman with the head nurse said, "The child is very healthy. The doctor is doing some basic care and will be sent over soon."


    Although the knowledge of this aspect is almost zero, Ryan nodded, holding Nicole''s hand tightly, and walked into the prepared ward at the end of the corridor.


    "Godmother..."


    "Nicole..."


    The nurse had just put Nicole away, and the two girls, one big and one small, came in too.


    "Don''t worry." Nicole gently nodded to them and Ryan, "I''m fine, and I''m very happy."


    Gently kissed the back of Nicole''s hand, Ryan held the hand between the two hands, and in a prayer posture, he read a few words that no one could hear clearly.


    "What are you talking about?" Nicole couldn''t help asking strangely.


    "Pray for you and our daughter."


    As he said, the door at the back opened, and a middle-aged woman walked in with a baby, "She is very healthy. Congratulations, Mr. Jenkins, Miss Kidman."


    "Thank you!"


    Nodded, Ryan made a gesture to Elsa on the other side, and handed the medical team''s follow-up arrangements to the housekeeper.


    The little guy was placed on the side of Nicole''s bed, and seemed to be sleeping. Ryan walked over and just tried to stretch out his hand, he was glared, "Will you hold a baby? Have you practiced before?"


    "This?" Ryan couldn''t help scratching his head. "Then I can always see my daughter, right?"


    "She is so young." Lily Moxin lowered her voice, "Sister she is so young."


    "Stupid Lily." Taylor nodded her head. "When I first saw you, you were not much older than her."


    "You two." Nicole''s eyes turned over there and made a gesture of shutting up, "Quiet!"


    The baby who was just born, can¡¯t talk about how beautiful it is now, and I can¡¯t tell whether it is more like a father or more like a mother. Nicole is here to stay. Ryan just leaned over and took a serious look for a while. He went from the Pacific Ocean. After the other side came to this world, he still left a lot of things, and now he even has a daughter.


    Father, it is a feeling he can fully appreciate now, lying next to Nicole is his own angel...


    The room was quiet, all eyes were on the newly born little guy, until Tyler broke the silence with a loud voice.


    "That..." Taylor stuck out his tongue mischievously. "We can''t always call''her'', right?"


    "Of course." Ryan couldn''t help but raised his head, "I have already figured out the name." r1152()

 Chapter 719： Sunday Song

    Before staying for long, the little guy was taken away by the nurse. There was a room dedicated to her. Nicole was a new mother. Although her face was tired, she was very energetic. She sat next to Ryan and refused to fall asleep. . £«top£«dot£«novel£«x£«


    "Did you think about the name?" Nicole frowned slightly, "Why haven''t you heard about it before? Forget it, let''s just say the answer."


    "Mary?" Ryan said tentatively.


    "Nicole Mary Kidman." Taylor interjected. "Is it because of this?"


    "Honey." Ryan turned to look at Tyler. "You are very smart."


    "Mary Jenkins?" Nicole frowned tighter, and pulled Ryan''s hand. "It''s too ordinary."


    "How about Eva?" Ryan didn''t insist, and immediately changed to another one.


    "Not good." Nicole gently pinched in the palm of his hand, "This is the angel I have been waiting for for many years. I will personally name her."


    She didn''t give Ryan a chance to refute at all, her light blue eyes rolled twice and said, "Actually, I''ve already thought about it."


    "You haven''t discussed it with me." Ryan understood why Nicole completely rejected his opinion, "Honey."


    "Because I think you will agree." Nicole said seriously, "Sandy, s-u-n-d-a-y, this is the name I chose. It applies to both boys and girls."


    "Sunday?" Ryan couldn''t help but feel the urge to cover his forehead. "It doesn''t seem to be Sunday today, right?"


    "Today Saturday" Taylor said weakly.


    "That''s it." Nicole wouldn''t allow Ryan to object. "Sandy Kidman Jenkins."


    "It seems that there is still a godfather missing?" She muttered again, "Let''s wait until she has a godfather."


    No wonder there have been reports in previous lives that Hollywood stars do not take the usual way of naming their babies. Gwyneth Paltrow named her daughter Apple, and now her own daughter has been turned into a Sunday by her mother...


    Shaking his head, Ryan asked Nicole again, "Why is it called Sunday?"


    "Because it sounds very pleasing. And it symbolizes peace." Nicole obviously had thought about it a long time ago and hummed an Australian nursery rhyme, "It''s called a Sunday child, honest and wise, kind and happy."


    "All right." Ryan finally nodded.


    Since Nicole insisted, he didn''t say anything, Sandy Kidman Jenkins sounded good.


    "Godfather." Lily Moxin behind jumped out of her chair, "Can we go see Sandy?"


    "Go." Ryan waved his hand to the two girls, one big and one little girl, and at the same time told Taylor, "Don''t mess around."


    Watching the two girls walk out of the room together. Ryan turned her head and found that Nicole had been snuggling next to him and closed her eyes. The long breath showed that she seemed to be falling asleep.


    Leaning over and kissing Nicole''s forehead, Ryan helped her adjust a more comfortable posture, then lay down next to her, and accompany her into her sleep.


    Perhaps it was a little worried and a little excited these few days. After the little guy was born, his tight nerves were completely relaxed. Ryan slept drowsy, until a loud baby cry rang in his ears, and he woke up from his sleep, and saw Nicole walking around holding the little one.


    "What happened?" Ryan sat up quickly. "Is it hungry?"


    "I just fed her." Nicole pointed to her breasts, then hummed a few nursery rhymes, and said, "I just kissed her gently."


    "Oh. Damn it." She seemed to have discovered something and shouted to Ryan, "Come here."


    Two inexperienced guys. There was a rush, and it was not until the specially-invited paramedics walked in that Sandy''s problem was completely resolved.


    "Is she asleep?" Ryan asked softly.


    The paramedic raised his index finger and put Sandy in the crib, "Miss Kidman, I''m going to take her to rest."


    "Okay." Nicole nodded.


    Accompanied by a soft door sound, the crib was pushed into the baby room next to it.


    "I always feel like I''m clumsy." Nicole complained, sitting on the long sofa chair. "The books I read and the things I learned before are all useless."


    "There must be a process of adaptation." Ryan walked to Nicole, sat down and took her shoulders, "We need to get used to having an angel in our lives, and our angels should also get used to their parents."


    "I just want to take care of her better." Nicole tilted her head on Ryan''s shoulder.


    The door was pushed open from the outside, and there was a creaking sound. Tyler''s head stuck out from the outside and stuck out his tongue mischievously, "I didn''t disturb you, right?"


    "Come in, dear." Nicole propped up, "Where is Lily?"


    "Go to acting class." Tyler pulled a chair and sat across from Nicole. "I''ve decided. I''m going to write a song for dear Sandy."


    "Just don''t write it as love and love." Ryan joked casually.


    "I won''t grin." Taylor couldn''t help but wrinkle his nose.


    Although many aspects of this world have changed. For example, Taylor¡¯s first album is slowly approaching the sales of one diamond, but some still exist. For example, fans who support Taylor love her to the extreme, and those who don¡¯t like her hate her. She succeeded only because of her background, and even the songs she sang were just the love of boring little girls.


    Fortunately, Taylor''s psychological quality in this world is stronger. He knew from a very young age that a person can''t be liked by all people in the world, just ignore those criticisms.


    Staying in Lanai until the beginning of June, Ryan and Nicole took their daughters and returned to Los Angeles quietly on a yacht. The two did not go to Malibu, but moved directly back to Nicole in Beverly Hills. Residential.


    In the past six months or so after Nicole moved out, the villa was renovated. In addition to adding a baby room, it also added many children''s entertainment facilities. The whole house is polarized, and half of it is more like a children''s playground.


    After the first two weeks, Ryan and Nicole gradually became proficient in taking care of the little guy. Even without a caregiver, they would not be in a hurry. Occasionally, they would push a stroller and take Sandy around in the garden. A few laps.


    After just resting for more than a week and receiving confirmation from a private doctor, Nicole not only took care of her daughter, but also started working out to restore her figure.


    On a sunny afternoon, Nicole went to the fitness room. Ryan pushed the stroller and walked into the garden from the back door of the villa. The little guy would kick and stretch his feet from time to time. With blue eyes, he curiously looked at this strange world. When Ryan reaches out to tease her, he will smile happily.


    He can cry, make noise, laugh, Sandy is healthy and cute, and his looks faintly gather the advantages of him and Nicole.


    "The child called Sunday, honest and wise, kind and happy..."


    While humming the Australian nursery rhymes that Nicole said, Ryan pushed the stroller through the garden full of hydrangeas and stopped under a few palm trees. The female nurse followed him all the time. Come over and remind you not to let the sun hit Sandy directly for a long time.


    In Los Angeles in June, the sun is already very strong.


    Ryan understood this naturally, pushed her daughter under the big sun umbrella, sat on a chair, and said some strange things that she didn''t even understand.


    The roar of the motor was faintly heard from the vestibule. Even without having to look at it, Ryan knew that this was a high-powered sports car. There were not many people in Hollywood who could drive directly into Nicole''s house.


    Sure enough, but only a few minutes later, Taylor and Scarlett Johansson appeared in the garden together. Unlike Scarlett carrying a baby toy, Taylor came over with his guitar case.


    "Hi Sandy!"


    The two girls completely ignored Ryan and walked directly to the stroller. Scarlett took out a rattle, shook it a few times, and put it beside Sandy.


    It''s a pity that the little guy is too young now, he can only look at the toy next to him with curious blue eyes.


    "She''s so cute."


    Seeing the little guy''s smile, Scarlett couldn''t help pulling Latelle, "It''s much more cute than when you were a kid."


    "Scarlett!" Tyler dropped a black line, "Scarlett, if you don''t speak, no one will treat you as an egg!"


    "Of course Sandy is cute!" She stretched out a finger and squinted in front of the little guy, "As cute and beautiful as I was when I was a kid, is that right, Ryan?"


    "Hmm~"


    Ryan nodded casually, "You three were cute when you were young."


    "Dear Sandy."


    Tyler ignored Ryan, opened the guitar case, took out the custom-made rosewood guitar of the same name, and hooked her finger to Scarlett. The little fat girl immediately helped her move a chair.


    Sitting on the chair, Taylor picked up the paddle and said to the stroller, "This is Sandy''s song I wrote for you. You must like it."


    After that, the picks stirred the guitar strings, and the soft and soothing music wafted upThe third weekend of May, Sandy and I sat on both sides of the garden, worrying and thinking, like early summer Like the sun, it filled the garden..."


    "On the third weekend of May, I came to Sandy, her beautiful and lovely figure, flying in front of my eyes, joy and satisfaction, beating in everyone''s hearts..."


    "On the third weekend of May, have a happy weekend..."


    Although the style of the song is similar to nursery rhymes, it can be seen that Taylor has put a lot of thought into it. Unfortunately, when she finished singing, the little guy in the stroller was already asleep with bubbles.


    "Well, dear Sandy." Tyler put away the guitar. "You are a privileged class now."


    Ryan and Scarlett laughed at the same time. Nicole, who happened to be wearing home clothes, walked into the garden. After seeing Taylor, he asked softly, "Didn''t you go to London to run the announcement? Why are you back?"


    "We..." Taylor pointed to Scarlett, "We have all dubbed "Cars 2", and we will come back to participate in the premiere." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 720： Disney Princess series for boys

    This is the third time that Taylor has dubbed Pixar''s animated feature film. Unlike the previous characters who just used names and dubbing objects, they are just non-heavy characters. Now the cooperation between her and Pixar Studios is a complete combination. , The role is the heroine Porsche 911 Sally in the film.


    Perhaps if she is not a singer, she may not be able to become an excellent voice actor.


    Not only "Cars", the current Disney Animation Department''s "Tangled" has also sent out an invitation to Taylor, I want her to voice the Rapunzel Princess Le Pei, in this case, the quality of the songs in the film Enough guarantee.


    With the release of "Brokeback Mountain", the social situation in North America has undergone further changes. Homosexuality is gradually no longer a taboo in mainstream films. Ryan also reminded the Disney animation department to do something about Andersen''s fairy tale "The Ice Queen" Adapted and launched an animated feature film of ice and snow song and dance.


    Of course, this is only at the stage of conception, scripting, singing and dancing, cg and 3d technologies all take time.


    Without the big killer of 3d, the previous life animation feature film would not have achieved such brilliant results. After all, if only the story is concerned, the film is only in the upper midstream even if it is in a Disney animated film. It''s just the standard.


    Before the second weekend of June arrived, "Cars 2" premiered in the Chandler Hall of the Los Angeles Music Center, but Ryan, who was temporarily incarnate as a full-time dad, did not attend, just taking advantage of Sandy''s sleep. Take time to watch Nicole and Lily again in the private theater.


    Kate Beckinsale and her director husband went to film "Underworld 2", and once again sent Lily to the godmother''s side.


    As in the past, this is not a work to coax children. Although it is a cg animated feature film, it adheres to the philosophy of Pixar Studios''''All-Age Films''.


    Similarly, it is similar to past protagonists such as Hooker Cowboy, Buzz Lightyear and Nemo. The characters in the film have distinct flaws.


    There is no such thing as a person without shortcomings, and a person with shortcomings may not be unlovable.


    Pride, confusion, mutual help, humanity, touch, return, love, and a happy ending with flaws. It can be described as a typical Pixar-style character and plot.


    To a certain extent, "Cars" is an inspirational film with a mixed road film and a nostalgic genre. The protagonist, Lightning McQueen, gained the love of a group of car friends and realized his self-worth during his journey across Route 66.


    While inspiring, this film does not forget to promote the spiritual characteristics of American highway movies, namely free choice and infinite inner boundaries. Route 66 in the film was built in 1926 and is known as the ¡°mother of highways¡± in the United States. The length from Chicago to Southern California is nearly 1,400 miles across the Midwestern hinterland of the United States. It can be described as a material symbol of the pioneering spirit of the United States.


    Anthropomorphic gives the car body language and thought character. The most classic setting is the "Burst Tooth" trailer, the "Beetle Edition" small flying insect, and the "Dolly" tractor and "Monster" Combine that appeared on the stage. Many viewers'' long-lost innocence may be quietly awakened. The plot is immersed in joy, anger, sorrow and joy.


    In particular, Lightning McQueen, who was "imprisoned" in a small town isolated from the outside world, received the baptism of human feelings and the cold world that he had no time to experience. Friendship can color selfishness; equality discriminates against the arrogance of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. It pales in comparison; love makes the utilitarian-occupied head find that "the original life can be more beautiful".


    When he was dragged back to the real world again, perhaps he really understood the happiness of "letting go".


    Although Pixar Studios uses several new technologies such as ray tracing in this film, the story is also considered excellent, but to be fair, "Cars" is in the animated feature film that Pixar has already launched. Quality can only be regarded as the most mediocre one.


    The film¡¯s reputation among the audience is not good or bad, and the attendance rate on the first three days is not particularly high. The box office in North America was only more than 61 million U.S. dollars, and even fell to about 34 million U.S. dollars in the second weekend. Although the film only took ten days to score more than 119 million U.S. dollars, compared with the past two animated feature films, The box office of "Cars 2" has seen a significant decline.


    However, neither Ryan nor Disney has too many worries.


    Because compared to the box office of the film, the sales of peripheral products can only be described as extremely hot.


    Long before the film was released, under the strong push of Ryan. Various derivatives of "Automobile" have been distributed all over the world. Contrary to the mediocre response from the film, derivatives are popular among teenagers, especially boys. In just ten days, only the car models and toys of the characters such as Lightning McQueen sold more than 40 million US dollars in sales worldwide.


    The combined sales of all related peripheral products have been close to 100 million U.S. dollars.


    In the past, even for animated films whose derivative sales far exceeded the box office, their derivative value was closely related to the film''s box office. The derivative value shown in "Cars" is simply a special case.


    This makes many surveys and forecasts companies unable to understand, only Ryan understands, this is just the beginning.


    In his previous life, "Cars 2" was one of the movies that impressed him the most. This is not how wonderful the film is, but the last year of training, I heard from high-level operations staff talk about it, until 2013 At the end of the year, even excluding the global box office, the "Cars" series brought Disney and Pixar a total of $5 billion in revenue.


    This film with mediocre response and box office, but it is the highest creation value of all the works of Pixar Studios.


    For this reason, in 2012, the Walt Disney Group even decided to open a special "Cars" section in the California Disney Adventure Park, which is a treatment that its films including "Toy Story" cannot enjoy.


    By the end of June, when "Cars 2" was released in North America for 20 days, the global box office was just over 200 million U.S. dollars, and the sales of derivatives are already close to this number, compared to having to talk to theaters and overseas publishers. At the box office, the profits created by derivatives including toys and car models have long surpassed the box office.


    This can be regarded as a very peculiar movie in the history of Hollywood. The response of the film is not directly proportional to the sales of derivatives.


    This kind of phenomenon will only happen to Walt Disney, and only Disney, which started with animation, can maximize the derivative value of an animated film.


    With the passage of time, the sales of derivatives have gradually turned to be flat, but the figures are still objective. The huge peripheral income cannot be created in a short period of time. It also takes time to accumulate.


    Of course, unlike many female consumers in the past, the vast majority of "Cars" consumers are men. This is as early as Ryan and Disney''s expectations. Both products and marketing strategies are completely biased. For men.


    Even the "Wall Street Journal" published a special review article on the front page, thinking that "Cars 2" related products have become the "Disney Princess series" developed by Ryan and Disney for boys.


    There is some truth to this. In addition to offline products, a team from Disney and Pixar began to prepare derivative plays for the film when it entered July. After all, with its development trend, the expected profit is too much. It''s amazing.


    The film creates a world that belongs to the car. The first one just shows the "tip of the iceberg" of this magical car world. There is still too much content to be discovered. There are too many stories that can happen in the car world. "General Mobilization" is closely linked.


    In addition, as the most popular toy besides Lightning McQueen, Pixar Studios will produce a superb short film series for the trailer die. Just like the "Transformers" cartoon for Transformers, the animated short film is aimed at the surroundings. market.


    As a matter of course, "Cars 2" naturally entered the agenda.


    Considering that it will take years to wait for "Cars 2" to be released, and sales of peripheral products have begun to slow down, Ryan decided to let Pixar Studios create a "Cars 2" TV broadcast on the Disney Children''s Channel. The series of cartoons is initially planned to have four seasons, which will run through the four years waiting for the release of "Cars 2".


    There will definitely be some new roles in these short films to expand the "car lineup" of "Cars". Ryan will be unique and establish a "Cars" studio to handle related work. Specially promote the sales of peripheral products.


    As long as it can see the possibility of obtaining high profits, a large commercial group like Walt Disney will run over all obstacles like a torrent to maximize its benefits.


    In addition to formal business methods, publicity and hype are essential.


    At the beginning of July, Walt Disney filed a lawsuit against a studio located in the small town of Valencia, suing the other party for malicious registration of "Cars 2" related domain names and illegal use of Lightning McQueen on the Internet. The image of the character is used for commercial promotion.


    The hot peripheral sales of "Cars 2" is not a secret. It has been paid attention to by many media. The emergence of this lawsuit has provided excellent hype for big and small newspapers and online media, but there are only three top Disney companies. People know that this is just a trick in Disney''s publicity.


    However, just as Pixar Studios was once again generous and glamorous, the animation departments of other Hollywood companies targeted Pixar Studios one after another, especially for some employees whose contracts had expired. (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 721： Escape from Pixar

    "Regardless of artistic achievement or commercial achievement, Pixar is regarded as the most successful animation studio in the world today."


    Glancing at Ryan, who was teasing her daughter, Nitian sat on the sofa and asked, "Are you sure you want to listen?"


    "carry on."


    Ryan put his finger into Sandy¡¯s little hand, and let her gently shake it, and then Nicole¡¯s voice came over again. ¡°Because of the geniuses, the internal competition of Pixar Studio is very fierce, and the management often does it. Make some unpopular personnel adjustments, such as allowing only a limited number of people in the core group to serve as film directors, and never give young people opportunities."


    "If you want to be a director of an animated feature film at Pixar Studios, you might as well buy a lottery ticket. Therefore, those geniuses who are hard to get a chance to take a shot choose to escape from Pixar Studios.


    Nicole looked at Ryan, who was happily playing with her daughter, and laughed, but kept talking, "These outstanding graduates of the''Animated West Point Military Academy'' are talented and passionate. Maybe they are {ÎÞ£« It¡¯s John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton tomorrow."


    "Mr. Jenkins."


    The female carer came over and grabbed the handle of the stroller. "Sandy should go to bed."


    "Well, my dear." Ryan stood up and beckoned to the little guy in the car, "Goodbye."


    After the nurse pushed her daughter away, Ryan walked over to the couch and sat next to Nicole. He took the newspaper in her hand, and saw a terrifying headline-"Escape from Pixar" on the entertainment page.


    "These tabloids." Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head. "In order to attract attention, I will exaggerate the matter a hundred times."


    "Really there will be no impact?" Nicole asked with a frown.


    "It''s just a few middle-level employees because the contract expired..." Ryan made a reassuring gesture to her, "It''s just a normal resignation, which will not have much impact on Pixar."


    The matter is not complicated. Several middle-level employees of Pixar Studios who are well-known in the industry have officially expired their contracts with Pixar after "Cars." Did not choose to renew the contract, but went to other companies to develop, this is a very normal personnel flow.


    It''s just that these few people who consider themselves talented, in an interview with reporters, felt that they would not have the opportunity to become directors at Pixar Studios, and inevitably made a few complaints.


    One of the interviews was published in detail by the tabloid.


    "Since I was ten years old, I have dreamed of becoming a film director."


    The person interviewed was called Jimmy Hayward, "More than ten years ago, an opportunity appeared before my eyes. I joined Pixar Animation Studios, which is now sweeping the global animation market."


    "From the "Toy Story" series to "Insect Crisis" and "Monster Electric Company". Then to "Finding Nemo" and "The Superman Family", I have contributed wisdom and labor several times more than my salary. However, this After working on this job for a long time, I gradually realized a cruel fact-if I want to be a director myself, I must leave Pixar."


    "This was a difficult choice, a choice that most Pixar employees would not consider at all, but I did it on no impulse."


    Several other people left at the same time. Ryan has the deepest impression of Jimmy Hayward, mainly because the previous life, after leaving the Pixar studio, although he became a director, he did not achieve as much success as he thought. Except for "Horton and the Anonymous" which is pretty good, the other two "Turkey Story" and "Jonah Hacks" both caused huge losses for 20th Century Fox.


    In addition, Ash Brannon, another person who resigned at the same time, also had a little impression, vaguely remembering that he went to Sony Entertainment later. The directed animated feature film will also be extremely miserable for investment.


    Your own talents are important, but a platform that can show your talents is equally important.


    Ryan didn''t care much about the departure of these people. This will not weaken the creativity and execution of the Pixar studio. The whole Hollywood is acknowledging the fact that every time someone resigns and leaves the Pixar studio, Pixar¡¯s human resources department receives hundreds or even thousands of letters. A reliable cover letter.


    Besides, the normal flow of personnel is also a good thing for maintaining the vitality of Pixar''s studio.


    Pixar Studios implements a boutique strategy, and generally launches an animated feature film every year, and even shaved their heads in some years. The directors of these films all come from the core of the studio.


    John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Andrew Stanton and Peter Dougert, these four people are the well-deserved Pixar All-Star team, past success has also proved their ability, and these people are Disney The shareholders of Pixar have also made great efforts in the process of Ryan swallowing Disney. As long as they can create value, the authority of Pixar''s animated feature films will certainly not fall into the hands of others.


    Companies that gain advantages in external competition will inevitably have fierce internal competition. Commercial companies such as Pixar Studios that have achieved great success will definitely gather a large number of industry elites, but like other companies, their internal "food chain" "Only, there are certainly only a handful of employees at the top of the chain.


    You know, the density of talented people in Pixar''s technical department is very high, such as gold medal animation editor Lee Unkridge, and the sound designer Kerry Redstrom, who has directed the cool short film "Kidnapping Lesson." There is Brad Chapman, the screenwriter of "Cars 2", these professionals have already had the qualifications and ability to direct feature films, but so far, none of them have released major works.


    As for the departing Jimmy Hayward and Ash Brannon and others, no matter their talent or ability, they are far behind these people.


    Of course, Ryan also knows the importance of talents. For these real core employees, he, Ed Kamel and John Lasset are very important, and they have promised a bright future for these people. .


    In the future production plan of Pixar Studios, the director''s position has been reserved by these professional madmen, and Lee Unkridge has decided to direct Pixar''s highlight play "Toy Story 3".


    As for the other two, each has projects in preparation. For example, Brad Chapman is starting to adapt a folklore about Scotland.


    "Except for Pixar, no other studio can output so many creative talents and cultivate so many great artists and animators."


    This comment that once appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair may be a bit exaggerated, but it always shows the strength of Pixar Studios and its prominent position in the industry.


    Perhaps in the future Pixar Studio will encounter the bottleneck of the exhaustion of creative power, but in Ryan''s view, now that the talents get together and how to use it is the most difficult problem for Pixar Studio.


    In the past few years, Ryan has successively made some adjustments between Pixar Studios and Disney Animation Department. More than 300 people have been transferred from Pixar Studios to Disney Animation Department. People have also embarked on a higher and more important position.


    However, both Disney Animation Department and Pixar Studios are implementing boutique strategies. In future plans, most of the animation feature films released every year will be maintained at an average frequency of one a year or even less than this number. Many people are inevitable. There will be some gaps with their own capabilities.


    How to solve it? Now it¡¯s just a few middle-level employees who are not the core employees, but what about in the future? We must know that these people who have switched jobs will inevitably become the most direct competitors of Pixar Studios.


    Although Pixar Studios needs external competitors, it is also not a good thing if there are too many competitors.


    With the departure of Jimmy Hayward and Ash Brannon and others, Ryan also began to consider this issue. Even a group of idealists will have ambitions and greed in order to achieve their ideals, not to mention Pixar Studios. Still a real commercial company.


    Change the boutique strategy of Disney Animation or Pixar Studios?


    Ryan would rather have more people change jobs than make such an unwise choice. It took more than ten years for the two animation studios to form their own ideas and cultures. Although the changes will not be enough Death will inevitably lead to great turmoil.


    With the rapid development of Pixar Studios and the Disney Animation Department gradually getting on the right track, the turbulence will surely cause unimaginable losses.


    The best way is to have a high-volume animation work department, so that more people have the opportunity and hope to take a higher position. Is there such an animation studio in Hollywood?


    The answer is yes¡ªDreamWorks Animation Studios, run by Jeff Katzenberg.


    The former president of Disney''s animation department once declared that DreamWorks Animation Studios has the ability to produce three to four animated feature films or series a year.


    Although these words are a bit exaggerated, Ryan knows that DreamWorks Animation Studios are indeed performing Piankai tactics.


    It seems that the acquisition of DreamWorks Animation Studios is imperative The annual output of DreamWorks Animation Studios is generally about two. Ryan remembers that it will increase to three in a few years. The process can be advanced slightly to create more positions and opportunities.


    Of course, in his opinion, it is enough for DreamWorks Animation Studio to maintain a production volume of about three movies a year in the next ten years. After all, the market''s digestibility must be considered.


    After Ryan talked with Robert Iger last time, Walt Disney acquired a part of DreamWorks Animation Studio¡¯s shares, but it has remained below 5%. This year, Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures¡¯ animation studios will Launching its own cg animation feature film, Pixar''s external competition environment will not be as easy as last year, and acquisitions can gradually speed up.


    The five largest shareholders of DreamWorks Animation Studios are himself, Jeff Katzenberg, David Geffen, Steven Spielberg, and Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft. As for the scattered There are basically no problems with the shares in the hands of Wall Street as long as the price is right.


    Thinking of this, Ryan called Robert Iger and Dick Cook respectively. The acquisition will certainly not be completed in the short term, but preparations must be made in advance. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 722： The 3rd film technology revolution

    Even if Ryan is the largest shareholder, it is not a simple matter to want to eat the DreamWorks Animation Studios. This involves a one-billion-dollar acquisition. Unlike the previous small holdings, Disney will definitely evaluate and demonstrate cautiously. And in addition to preparing the necessary funds, if the resistance is too great, even prepare for the stock exchange.


    Behind every acquisition that is completed quickly, there is a lot of preparatory work.


    These will naturally have a more professional team responsible for follow-up, and specific matters will also be discussed in the next board of directors.


    The time is getting closer to July. When Sandy was born a month later, another major production of Walt Disney-"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World''s End" officially landed on the global theaters, and it won in North America on the first weekend. More than 131 million U.S. dollars.


    Although Roger Albert and his like sent out, for example, "a 168-minute long and boring pirate adventure story. It is recommended that fans of Pirates of the Caribbean enjoy a seafood meal and wait for half an hour before the movie begins. Even so, you will not miss any of the plot''s comments, but it cannot stop the pirates from robbing the wallets of global audiences.


    In just seven days in theaters, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World''s End" robbed a full US$418.57 million from 102 countries and regions around the world, including North America, and created a new global box office with the fastest break 4 Billion dollar record.


    Of course, this record does not have much practical significance. After all, most films cannot achieve such a large-scale global simultaneous release.


    Obviously, the film¡¯s global box office has gone straight to the billion-dollar mark.


    Most importantly, because of the simultaneous shooting of the trilogy, the average cost of a single film is less than 150 million U.S. dollars, which is much less than the previous production cost of 300 million U.S. dollars for the third film alone, even if "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World''s End" has just been released, and Disney has made a net profit of nearly $250 million from the box office of this series alone.


    Box office revenue is only part of the profits brought by "Pirates of the Caribbean". Before the third film was released, various peripheral copyrights and derivatives had brought Disney more than $600 million in net income, including the bay added by Shanghai Disneyland. The districts are all derivative projects of "Pirates of the Caribbean".


    This series can create large profits for Walt Disney every year. Naturally, Disney will not end there. The plan for the fourth part has been put on the agenda.


    However, the director Gore Wibinski and the two starring actors Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom are sure that they will not appear in the next film. There are both factors that they want to transform, and there are also factors that lead them. The price is too high, the reason for being rejected by Disney.


    Walt Disney is currently trying to retain Captain Jack Sparrow, but Johnny Depp has also offered expensive terms, and this negotiation is bound to be delayed for a long time.


    But Ryan is not in a hurry. After the trilogy, it is undoubtedly the wisest choice to release the fourth part in a few years. Otherwise, the continuous bombing is very likely to cause aesthetic fatigue.


    Besides, Captain Jack Sparrow is now inseparable from Johnny Depp, so can Johnny Depp leave the role of Jack Sparrow?


    Perhaps Johnny Depp thinks he has a super appealing power, but there are related memories of past life, Ryan is very clear, leaving the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, the audience also does not buy Johnny Depp''s account, except almost see The supporting role of "Alice in Wonderland", which is less than his own, and Johnny Depp''s other films, are simply money-losing goods, and some of them even produced huge losses.


    Ryan will certainly not forget "Alice in Wonderland", the highest peak of the 3D film in the previous life, and Disney Pictures has already begun the preliminary demonstration.


    Of course, if the film is officially produced, it will certainly not be a pseudo 3D film from a previous life.


    Speaking of 3d, although there are very few movies made using 3d technology, many movies will use post-production technology to release corresponding 3d versions in theaters. Even if these pseudo 3d and real 3d movies have a quality gap, Quite a lot of viewers are still buying it.


    At the beginning of the new century, a time-saving and labor-saving 3D movie production method developed and promoted by Ryan and James Cameron¡¯s imax company played a huge role, that is, to directly convert ordinary 2D movies into 3D movies. Imax''s dmr-digital rerecording-technology can even convert ordinary 35mm film into 70mm imax3d format. The cost of converting a standard-length film is only about 6 million US dollars, and it only takes about 6 weeks.


    This has greatly expanded the content source of 3D movies. Hollywood can "produce" a 3D movie in more than a month, but the shortcomings are also obvious. The three-dimensional effect of the 3D movie produced in this way is inferior to that of the specially produced 3D movie. A lot.


    Until the first two years, most of the 3D movies that appeared on the market were converted through this transcription technology. Even so, 3D and imax cinemas have been greatly developed, especially the number of 3D screens in North America. It has rapidly increased from a few hundred yuan at the beginning of the century to more than 2,400 yuan.


    Among them, a film co-operated by imax and Warner Bros. played a huge role.


    In the Thanksgiving Christmas file in 2004, the Warner Bros. animation blockbuster "Polar Express" was officially released. This film shot by Robert Zemeckis, director of "Forrest Gump", uses a lot of imax3d technology, and its visual effects are reproduced. The film is absolutely incomparable. The film has a total of nearly 60 million US dollars in box office in more than 80 imax theaters around the world, setting a record for imax commercial screenings. More than 30% of its North American box office revenue comes from imax3d, and even caused A ticket is hard to find, and the charm of 3d movies can be seen from this.


    After "Polar Express", North American theaters have completely seen new revenue growth points. Among the newly added screens in North America in the past two years, more than half are 3D screens, including nearly a hundred imax theaters.


    In recent years, Ryan has never relaxed the promotion of 3d and imax. Now in North America alone, the number of 3d screens is close to 3,500, and the number of imax cinemas is even closer to 170.


    Hollywood producers and distributors need more exciting ways to attract audiences, and theater operators also need new movie-watching technology as a revenue growth point. This is a matter of interest for several parties, and they have huge common interests in this regard. .


    As early as last year''s Western United States Expo, many film companies and theater operators cheered for 3d and imax technology, saying that it was the third film technology** after sound film and color film. At the same time, they were optimistic. Digitized 3D movies will be the mainstream of the film industry in the future.


    Similarly, several Hollywood directors James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis, and Michael Bay are all fans of digital 3D movies, and the latter three have become the pioneers.


    "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World''s End" has been raging for two weeks. At a time when the film''s global box office exceeded $650 million and its growth momentum was significantly slowing down, it was jointly invested by Disney Pictures and Universal Pictures, and the production cost was as high as 100 million. The US$50 million "Jurassic Park 3" officially landed on major theaters in North America.


    This is a real 3d movie. It is only a clip shot with imax3d camera, and the total length reaches 30 minutes. In this age, this is an absolute visual killer.


    The film was opened in 3,845 theaters in North America, among which the number of 3D screens and imax theaters reached 2,750 and 158, respectively. Lifelike dinosaurs, with their mouths wide open, roar in front of the audience.


    The three days of this weekend are all three days of dinosaurs. It is hard to find a ticket for the imax cinema. Even if the 3d version is the next best thing, movie tickets are also a hot commodity.


    Compared with the popularity of 3d and imax, the performance of the ordinary 2d version can only be said to be very average, and the first week attendance rate of most 2d cinemas does not even exceed 30%.


    "Jurassic Park 3" did not disappoint Disney Pictures and Universal Pictures in the first week of the box office. It won US$150.12 million in the North American box office in three days, and 3D and imax screens contributed nearly 6 percent of it. fifteen!


    In the past few years, imax has promoted imax3d cinemas not only in North America, but also in major ticket warehouse markets around the world. Today, there are more than 280 imax cinemas used for commercial operations worldwide, and 90% of them have joined the screening. "Jurassic Park 3" in the ranks.


    In addition, including North America, more than 4,400 3D screens worldwide have also signed a screening contract for "Jurassic Park 3".


    Perhaps because of regional differences , the situation varies from place to place, but in general, the price of the ordinary 3d version is twice the price of the ordinary movie, and the imax is generally about three times.


    Although the number of 3D and imax cinemas is not as large as they will be a few years later, this era also lacks strong 3D films as competitors. Even though the plot of "Jurassic Park 3" is somewhat thin, the structure is similar to that of Spear in recent years. Like all the films made by Berg, there is the flaw of rigid modeling, but for most viewers, it seems that the dinosaurs that can jump out of the screen and swallow them at any time are completely worth the price.


    In the same seven days, relying on the strong performance on 3d and imax, "Jurassic Park 3" from the film market in 93 countries and regions around the world, received up to 445.85 million US dollars in the box office, refreshing the " "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World''s End" has just set the world''s fastest box office record breaking $400 million.


    And three days later, ten days after the film was released globally simultaneously, the global box office of "Jurassic Park 3" smoothly exceeded 500 million U.S. dollars, which is also the fastest ever global box office to break the record of 500 million U.S. dollars.


    Among them, 3d and imax contributed a total of more than 365 million US dollars, the visual effects of the film, and even triggered a huge wave of discussions around the world. r1152()

 Chapter 723： Sandys Godfather

    "In addition to the visual effects, what else does "Jurassic Park 3" have? As far as the film itself is concerned, it is uglier than the feces pulled by the Tyrannosaurus in the film!"


    The French newspaper Le Figaro opened fire violently after the global box office of Jurassic Park 3 exceeded 500 million U.S. dollars, and even interviewed the famous Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci for this purpose.


    "3d technology will not bring any help to the development of movies, because it is essentially just a film technology that appears to satisfy the sensory stimulation, and has no meaning to art. This simple and crude special effects technology will only destroy the beauty of the film. "


    This is just a microcosm of the European media. Since "Jurassic Park 3" swept the continental European film market, those European filmmakers who were ignored by the mainstream market have turned to European media that have not dealt with North America very well. "Jurassic Park 3" and 3D technology fired.


    "A stupid dumb movie, after watching it, it will only make people feel sick."


    "No matter how good the visual effect, no matter how high the box office is, it is out of the essence of the movie!"


    "3D technology is just a deception of vision, poisonous candy for the eyes..."


    Every large-scale explosion of new technology is always accompanied by countless voices of opposition, not only in Europe, but even in North America, there are many people who are uncomfortable with 3D technology.


    "The 3d special effects are great, and the 3d movies are full of sensory stimulation, but the two best 3d movies so far, "Polar Express" and "Jurassic Park 3", are like circus juggling, with characters floating on the screen. And the scenery, boring and funny, just a falsehood to make the audience happy."


    This is David Denby''s comment published in the "New York Times", and echoed with him, in the "Chicago Sun", Roger Albert also put forward a similar view on 3d.


    "Remember more than ten years ago, it was Ryan Jenkins who promoted "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic", which pushed Hollywood into the wave of big investment and production. Until there is no turning back, Looking back now, there are fewer and fewer films with profound connotations produced in Hollywood. The films produced by the Hollywood model he advocated are all reduced to the products of sensory stimulation."


    "Every frame of the 3D movie shows us something that is not necessary at all. The box office success of "Jurassic Park 3" will once again bring very wrong guidance to Hollywood, even under the strong promotion of Ryan Jenkins. , Hollywood¡¯s mainstream commercial films will become simple and crude visual effects accumulations, which will greatly damage the inherent quality of Hollywood movies. Hollywood and theater operators must treat 3D film technology with caution."


    "I would like to remind you that 3D movies that are purely for the pursuit of commercial interests cannot survive in the market for a long time, and will only be reduced to money-trapping products."


    However, every time a new technology is updated, people who cannot keep up with the trend will always be swept into the old paper pile of history, not to mention this is a technology that can generate tens or even tens of billions of dollars in annual output value in the future.


    For European media and European film directors, Hollywood directly ignores them, except for those people who can speak sour words. It poses no threat to Hollywood movies. Their so-called artistic movies can only survive the cracks of Hollywood movies.


    Does anyone care about a group of defeated soldiers who were beaten by themselves more than ten or twenty years ago and lost their pants?


    In Ryan''s view, it is described as defeated in the future. They are all compliments to continental European films.


    As for the veteran film critics in North America, how many other companies in Hollywood care about their voices? The two films they criticized are the important promoters of Hollywood''s globalization strategy. How many people in the Hollywood industry will deny the key role of "Titanic" in the globalization of Hollywood films?


    Capital is always profit-seeking. 3d and imax technologies have allowed Hollywood and cinema companies to see new benefits, the success of "Jurassic Park 3". It also allowed them to see the expected future of such films.


    "Jurassic Park 3" has not been offline, several Hollywood companies have announced their own 3d and imax movie plans.


    The first to respond is undoubtedly Disney, using the wave brought by "Jurassic Park 3" to promote "Transformers" also using imax3d technology to produce, at the same time "Flying House Globe", "Toy Story 3" and "The Hunger Games" 2" "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and other movies will be produced using this technology.


    What attracts people''s attention is that these are not post-transformation films, they will be real 3D movies.


    Then, more companies responded, such as "Despicable Me" and "Kung Fu Panda" in the preparation and production of DreamWorks Animation Studios, such as Warner Bros'' Green Lantern, such as Sony Pictures'' preparation to restart "Godzilla" and so on...


    In addition, the most violent reaction is the major theater companies. The North American theater alliance, which is composed of many North American theater operators, announced at a press conference that the future 3D screen and imax theaters will be North America. Major theater companies have a long-term plan for the main development direction of the cinema chain.


    At the same time, they also announced their short-term goals. In the next six months, with the support of equipment vendors such as imax and Dolby, they will add 500 3D screens and build about 40 imax cinemas.


    With Hollywood''s content support, the theaters naturally don''t want to miss a good opportunity to attract more audiences into the theater.


    Compared to "Jurassic Park 3" with imax3d as its biggest selling point, it was released a week earlier, and "Superman Returns", which is known as the most expensive movie in history, can''t help but seem a bit tragedy.


    This mega-production, which cost as much as US$270 million in production alone, was shown on 4,100 theaters in the first week, and only received US$76.03 million in the North American box office.


    As of last week, the single-week box office of this film, which was released for more than three weeks, has fallen to more than 7 million US dollars. The North American box office has only accumulated more than 170 million US dollars. As its direct competitor, "Jurassic Park" "3" appeared a week later, but the North American box office was close to $260 million.


    Although there are many reasons why "Superman Returns" did not perform as expected, many people believe that "Superman Returns" did not use 3d technology and launched a 3d version, which is an extremely stupid decision-making error.


    Of course, this can only be regarded as a rumor, and Ryan knows this very well.


    "I went to see the imax3d version of Jurassic Park 3." The speaker was James Cameron.


    The afternoon sun was extremely bright. Ryan and him were sitting under the umbrella in Nicole''s Garden. The two talked a lot about the imax company, and the topic gradually turned to the movie side.


    "I believe that technology is no longer a problem."


    Beckoning to another umbrella, Nicole gently shook Sandy¡¯s crib. The mother and daughter did not see his gestures at all. Ryan had to turn his gaze back to James Cameron. "Jim, I have been waiting for too long."


    The two are not only old friends, but the past cooperation is also very pleasant, James Cameron stretched out a hand. All five fingers came out, "Five hundred million dollars!"


    "How much?" This number surprised Nicole on the other side.


    "In terms of production costs, I initially estimated that 200 million US dollars would be enough." James Cameron explained to the two at the same time, "The rest are promotional and marketing expenses. We are not only shooting movies, but also the company''s promotional videos. ."


    After the previous life "Avatar" was released, companies other than the producer, distributor, James Cameron, etc. can be said to be one of the biggest beneficiaries.


    Now, the largest shareholder of this company is Ryan. The second largest shareholder is James Cameron.


    "Are you planning to start preparations now?" Ryan thought for a while and asked.


    "Yes." James Cameron drank half a cup of black tea. "After this talk, I''m going to call in people."


    "All right." Ryan made a relieved gesture to him. "I will promote Disney through this project as soon as possible, and the initial funds will be available soon."


    "Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron join forces." On the other side, Nicole grabbed Sandy''s little hand and shook it gently. "Don''t say Disney, I''m afraid all Hollywood companies will generously sign out checks."


    Ryan and James Cameron both laughed.


    these years. There are not a few companies looking for James Cameron to re-emerge. Unfortunately, only a few people such as Ryan understand that he is obsessed with making imax3d documentaries. I am preparing for the next big production. Now the development trend of 3D technology and North American theater lines has obviously surpassed the previous life. This studio tyrant is finally about to start that time-consuming and labor-intensive super-large production.


    The two then briefly talked about some details. For example, in addition to him and Cameron himself, another executive producer would invite Jon Landau, who had been happily working with "Titanic"; such as the studio shooting of the film. Put it in Australia as much as possible so that you can get preferential conditions such as tax rebates and sponsorships.


    After talking about the business, James Cameron turned his eyes to Nicole''s side, looked at Sandy who was lying on the crib, and seemed to be asleep, and asked, "I remember the little guy has no godfather yet." ?"


    "Yes." Ryan laughed. He faintly guessed the purpose of this set tyrant Frankly speaking, Jim. "Nicole joked deliberately, "I don''t think you, a grumpy guy, will be a qualified godfather." "


    "As long as Sandy considers me qualified in the future." James Cameron walked to the shaker, "that''s enough."


    "What do you mean?"


    Nicole looked this way, Ryan shrugged, and she nodded and said, "Well, Jim, you can now give Sandy a given name."


    "Professional name?"


    This set tyrant couldn''t help holding his chin, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he said, "Re, Ruth, what do you think?"


    "Sandy Ruth Kidman Jenkins?" Nicole muttered, and then said, "Not bad."


    Ryan has the urge to cover his forehead. How much does James Cameron like Jack and Ruth? If you remember, the actor in "Avatar" is also called Jack... (to be continued...) ()

 Chapter 724： Defects of three-D technology

    For the perennially dry Los Angeles, summer is a difficult season. It¡¯s good to go out occasionally. If you are doing strenuous exercise, you must make sufficient preparations in advance, or simply choose air-conditioned indoor sports, such as billiards and table tennis. such as. \\¡¡.


    "Boo~"


    There was a crisp collision sound, the white ball hit the black number eight with great accuracy, and the black ball fell straight into the bottom pocket. The tall girl who had just straightened up high-five to celebrate with Scarlett, and shouted, "yes!"


    "You two lost again!" Gal Gado said to Natalie, who was holding the cue. "Three sets of two wins. We won two games in a row, Nat."


    "It looks like..." Natalie squeezed the cue into Ryan''s hand next to her, "I lack athleticism."


    "You think too much."


    After passing by Gal Gado, Ryan took away the clubs in her and Scarlett¡¯s hands. After placing them, he continued to say to Natalie, ¡°When you come back from Australia, you often get distracted. Is there a situation? Or is the director Sophia finally turned into a female tyrant on the set?"


    "You guessed all wrong."


    Scarlett picked up Natalie and Gail Gado, and walked to the corner of the entertainment room. From her refrigerator, she took out the three boxes of cream ice cream that she had put in, and handed them to them. Ryan said, ¡°Nate has been thinking about new movies recently. This time she is both the director and the starring role, and it¡¯s a lot of pressure.¡±


    "Sufficient funds." Ryan sat next to Natalie, "You can also go to New York to shoot on the spot. Jenkins Pictures has already contacted a theater."


    "Don''t worry." Natalie dug up a large spoonful of ice cream and put it into Ryan''s mouth. "I''m just thinking about some shooting techniques. This is different from the bright style of "127 Hours", and tends to be darker. Change."


    "It''s better to make a 3D movie." Gail Gado put down the box of ice cream and came up with a bad idea. "The 3d version of "Wonder Woman 2", the 3d version of "The Hunger Games 2", plus the 3d version of "Black Swan"..."


    Presumably noticing the weird eyes of the other three people looking at him, the long-legged girl blinked, "Don''t you think this is a good idea?"


    "Gail." Scarlett wiped off the white cream on the corners of her mouth directly with the back of her hand, "I think it is better than your idea to let Nat use the imax3d camera to shoot the whole process!"


    "Wonder Woman 2 plans a full imax3d shot for only about 25 minutes." Gal Gado pointed to the cream on the corner of Scarlett''s other mouth, "There is..."


    After Scarlett wiped it off, she said again, "It is said that "Transformers" has only 30 minutes of full imax3d shots. If this is the case, "Black Swan" will set a record."


    "You two..." Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head. He knew that the two girls were just joking. It¡¯s not difficult to nominate a beautiful supporting actress or something."


    After speaking, he glanced at Gail Gaddo again. "Excluding you, Gail."


    Although Gail Gado has become popular throughout the United States since "Wonder Woman", it is the same as most actors who are models. She has no problem dealing with a role like Princess Diana, and she needs more training and accumulation if she wants to show more acting skills.


    Besides, she has a different background from Scarlett Johansson''s literary young women. The first movie in life is a commercial superhero movie that can no longer be commercial, except for the Youth Choice Award and the Saturn Award, and the performance awards on the mainstream awards. There is little hope in the short term.


    "I think the Saturn Award for Best Actress is also good." Gail Gado said with a smile, "I don''t have much pursuit in this aspect."


    The four people joked and laughed, and Natalie took the initiative to change the subject, "Ryan, do you think 3D and imax technology will definitely develop?"


    "You have all seen imax3d movies." Ryan lightly tapped the table, "How do you feel stimulated for the senses?"


    "It''s okay." Natalie sipped the ice cream. "If you look at it for a long time, your eyes will be very tired."


    "It''s pretty good." This is Scarlett Johansson. "I like "Polar Express" very much."


    "Very exciting!" Gal Gado gave a few examples. "I went to watch it when filming "Wonder Woman 2" in Washington, and the audience was full of praise for the visual effects of "Jurassic Park 3". ."


    "If the audience has demand, it will bring market revenue." Ryan opened his mouth and ate the ice cream sent by Natalie. "In the next few years, these two technologies will be greatly developed, and there will even be a movie. Use imax3d to reach a peak that has never been seen before."


    "You''re not talking about "Transformers", right?" Scarlett knew that Ryan''s peak must be commercial achievements. "Could this robot war surpass "Titanic" at the box office?"


    "Not "Transformers."


    The person who answered the conversation was Natalie, but there was also an outsider in the strict sense of Gael Gado in the field. She couldn''t help but look over here. After Ryan nodded slightly, she continued, "Scarlett, You should know that James Cameron had a big plan since a few years ago."


    "So." Scarlett understood immediately. "The Tyrant James, are you ready to prepare the story of the alien?"


    "Actually."


    Ryan guessed that 80% of the little fat girl heard from Taylor, "Disney Pictures yesterday allocated $100 million in advance funds."


    A few days ago, Disney¡¯s routine board of directors discussed James Cameron¡¯s project. Ryan naturally fully supported him. He will also serve as a producer. What did his collaboration with the studio tyrant last time? Fans all over the world basically know that the board of directors passed this resolution almost as quickly as possible.


    Of course, what is currently determined is only the preliminary production cost. According to James Cameron''s own estimation, the film will not be released without three years, and the time for publicity is not yet effective.


    "May I ask..." Gail Gado was very curious, "How much is Director Cameron going to spend this time?"


    "His current estimate is 200 million U.S. dollars." Ryan made a gesture that everyone understands. "There will definitely be additional production costs in the later period, and it should not exceed 300 million U.S. dollars."


    He clearly remembered that the production cost of the film in the previous life was not very high. Compared with "Superman Returns", it''s a lot worse.


    "What''s the future of 3d movies, I don''t know." Scarlett Johansson poked the ice cream in the box with a spoon, and the topic turned back. "But I know, "Jurassic Park 3" relies on 3d and imax to obtain A great success."


    "In the past few years, the equipment side has been vigorously promoting these two technologies." Ryan said the most basic fact. "The number of 3D screens and imax theaters is the basis for the success of "Jurassic Park 3."


    After nearly two years of development, both the 3D screen and the imax cinema have more than doubled the number when the original "Polar Express" was released.


    "I remember listening to you." Natalie frowned slightly. Looking at Ryan, "The 3D technology currently used seems to have many flaws."


    "Yes." Ryan nodded first, "You should know the principles of 3D movies?"


    Scarlett and Gail Gado shook their heads at the same time, and Ryan had no choice but to say, ¡°In the simplest and most common terms, the current 3D technology allows the audience to wear special glasses and see the left and right sides of the same object through the left and right lenses. Two portraits on the right, so as to restore the flat movie screen to a three-dimensional sense. But this is easy to cause a problem. If the viewing time is too long, it will cause dizziness or headaches for some people."


    "This is the analysis of the medical experts we hired." He pointed to his eyes. "If people¡¯s eyes are slow to receive the picture, they will be conditioned and want to catch up with the changes in the picture. At this time, they need to ¡®emergency call¡¯ more brain power. Many people feel uncomfortable because of this."


    "In addition, I think you should be able to think of it." Ryan continued, "Watching this kind of film too often. It is not good for teenagers, especially the eyes of developing children."


    "Then why promote this flawed..."


    Before he finished speaking, Gail Gado realized he had asked a silly question and smiled embarrassedly.


    "I will answer you, Gail."


    With a light cough, Scarlett took out a few commercial cells, "We have discussed the defects of high ticket prices and dark colors in 3D movies before, but the high ticket price is actually an advantage of 3D movies. At least for the theaters."


    She looked at Ryan, Ryan gave her an encouraging smile, and the little chubby girl immediately said again, ¡°Compared with traditional 2d movies, the stereoscopic effect of 3d movies is the most powerful advantage, and home projection equipment is not yet available. 3D technology is popular, so going to the theater to watch 3D movies is almost the only option."


    "In order to pursue higher commercial profits, so..." The little fat girl shrugged playfully.


    Ryan gave Scarlett a thumbs up Now the situation is not bad, wait a few years, whether it is North America, or the theater on the other side of the Pacific, even if there is a 2d version, Often only the 3d version of the movie is scheduled to be shown. For example, the previous life "Alice in Wonderland" was released and screened in 2d and 3d, but most of the theaters he knew only released the 3d version. The big reason was that the 3d ticket was expensive. , The profit is also higher.


    Merchants are born for profit.


    After having dinner at Scarlett¡¯s house, Ryan and Natalie stayed until late before passing through the door connecting the two gardens and returning to Natalie¡¯s villa.


    "I''m going to New York in a few days."


    The two of them walked slowly towards the villa along the path in the garden. Natalie held Ryan¡¯s hand and swayed gently, "My friend introduced me to a ballet choreographer. I¡¯m going to see you there. see."


    "Take care of yourself." Ryan nodded her pointed chin. "You are thin again. Just leave the film preparation to the executive producer."


    "I know." Natalie leaned close to him, "but some preparations require the director''s personal participation." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 725： Leonidas at the Hot Spring Pass

    After coming out of the fitness room, Ryan went back to the room to take a shower and changed into loose casual clothes. Then he staggered down the regular stairs to the first floor. He just walked into the living room, and the couch was there. What happened next made him stare wide. Between Scarlett and Natalie, it seems that it is far from being able to describe it, right?


    On the long leather sofa, Scarlett completely pressed Natalie underneath. The distance between the two faces infinitely tends to zero, and the four pink lips seem to touch each other at any time.


    "Hey, can you guys do it?"


    Gail Gado, who was sitting cross-legged on the single sofa, flipped through the script again and again, "Because of the uncertainty in the real world, Nina reshaped Lily in the spiritual world. In her imagination, she has the same **** as her. Lily who loves relationships."


    She deliberately increased her tone on ¡®same-sex love¡¯.


    As soon as Gail Gado finished speaking, Scarlett bowed her head and kissed Natalie. Ryan just saw all this, and the corners of her mouth shook slightly.


    "Cough~"


    He deliberately coughed hard, these three guys!


    Scarlett over there slowly raised her head, took a look here, and got up from the sofa without any haste. Gail Gadoo waved the script at Ryan, "We are rehearsing, Nat and A few of Scarlett¡¯s opponent scenes are critical."


    After walking over, Ryan sat on the solo sofa opposite Gail Gadoo, looked at Scarlett first, then at Natalie, "Scarlett, your first task is to make yourself look More slender."


    "Hey Hey hey¡­"


    The little fat girl''s tone is exactly the same as Taylor''s, "Ryan, you mean I''m fat?"


    She couldn''t help sitting on the couch angrily, and Natalie, who was standing next to her, patted her back gently, "Scarlett, you are going to be a ballerina, and you have to lose some weight."


    Her eyes concealed from Scarlett''s chest, but she was keenly caught by the little chubby girl, "Nat, the breast problem can be solved with a silicone corset."


    "But what about here?" Natalie couldn''t help but patted her thigh.


    "Okay, okay." Scarlett shrugged helplessly, "I will go on a diet and fitness. Didn''t you say that it will take four to five months to practice ballet? Time is too late."


    "Right, Nat." Gail Gado put aside the script and asked concerned, "Have you found the right ballet choreographer and coach?"


    "There are friends... um..." Natalie looked at Ryan, "It is my roommate at Harvard University, who introduced me to one. If it can be negotiated, Gail, Scarlett, you are going to move to New York temporarily. Up."


    "This is a film that hit the Oscars." Scarlett gently rubbed Natalie''s sore thigh. "Dance is a very important part of the film, especially for you, Nat. Is he okay? what?"


    "The other party seems to be the chief dancer and choreographer of the New York City Ballet." Natalie recalled, "I can''t go wrong, anyway, I can see it in a few days."


    "Do you really need three to four months to practice ballet?" Ryan finally had the opportunity to interrupt.


    "Since I was abducted into Hollywood by you..."


    Before the joke was finished, Natalie laughed first herself, "I gave up ballet for more than ten years. I almost forgot everything I learned before. Although I still have a little foundation, I can use photography and editing to make tricks. But I want to prepare more."


    "In this case..." Ryan squeezed his chin, "The film will definitely not keep up with this year''s awards season."


    "Then next year will be fine." Scarlett took Natalie''s shoulders, "Anyway, we don''t care about waiting for another year."


    "I remember an actress born after the 1980s, no one has won an Oscar for Best Actress, right?" Gail Gado patted his head, "Not many people have been nominated."


    "Scarlett was nominated." Natalie threw the chubby girl''s hand back.


    "It''s a pity that it is too difficult to win the prize." Scarlett poked her lips. "My current role is becoming more and more commercialized. Surprise just gave me the script of "Iron Man 2", which is the part of Black Widow, Bigger. Winnie has more heroines."


    "Scarlett."


    Hearing the surprise, Ryan remembered the email exchange some time ago, ¡°The surprise has already been planned. After the "Avengers", a separate "Black Widow" movie will be launched."


    "Isn''t the villain of the film also a female character?" The questioner was Gail Gado, and the villain of "Wonder Woman 2" she just finished filming is still the female character of Leopard Girl.


    "It should be a woman among the remnants of Hydra."


    As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Scarlett shook her fist vigorously, "Alison must be pulled as the villain, I will crush her in the film!"


    It was like gnashing his teeth, as if Scarlett had suffered a great grievance on Taylor''s side.


    "Did something happen between you?" Natalie suddenly turned her head and looked over.


    "Have you quarreled again?" Ryan also asked curiously.


    The two people have been arguing since the day they met, far more than they were when they were children and Natalie.


    "Ah... it''s nothing." Scarlett shook her head quickly, "We rarely quarrel. I just think she always bullies me, so I want to be stern in the movie."


    "Then wait for Surprise to come up with the script."


    Ryan shook his head, these two people, it would be abnormal if they were quiet.


    "Ryan, we will stay in New York most of the time in the next six months." Scarlett stood up and stretched a long waist. "You will visit the class often, right?"


    "My dear, I think you have forgotten one thing." Ryan leaned forward and took the script that was placed on the coffee table by Gail Gado. "I am not only a screenwriter and producer, but also a role in it. "


    "Really?" Scarlett turned to look at Natalie, "Why don''t I know?"


    "Maybe I forgot to tell you." Natalie looked at the wall clock in the living room, walked to Ryan and pulled him up, "It''s getting late, let''s go out for lunch."


    "That''s fine." Ryan walked to the shoe cabinet and changed her slippers. "Where to go?"


    "Gail..." Natalie asked Gail Gado, who had just stood up, "What''s your opinion?"


    "Just Mr. Zhou''s restaurant is ready." She did not refuse, and directly suggested, "It is so close, you don''t want to go to Los Angeles just because you have a meal?"


    "Mr. Zhou''s restaurant is ready." Scarlett said in agreement.


    The four people in a car left this luxurious residential area in North Hollywood and drove towards Laurel Valley Boulevard.


    Not only Natalie and Scarlett. After the "Wonder Woman" became popular, Gal Gadoo also settled the Los Angeles residence in North Hollywood, although it is not like Natalie and Scarlett are next to each other. The neighbors are not far away from them.


    The several Mr. Zhou restaurants opened in the greater Los Angeles area are frequently visited by Hollywood celebrities. After entering the restaurant, many conspicuous places are hung with photos of the restaurant manager or staff and some Hollywood stars, and four people sit in Ryan. Below, you can clearly see the most conspicuous position, with a replica of a famous painting hanging.


    "Unexpectedly, Nicole did all the movie ads here."


    While waiting for the meal, Scarlett looked at the painting and muttered softly. Gail Gadoo, who was sitting next to her, couldn''t hear what she was talking about, and couldn''t help but curiously asked, "What advertisement? That''s not Lu." Is that famous painting in the floating palace? It should be a reproduction, right?"


    "Leonida is at the hot spring gate." Natalie took the initiative to take the topic after playing with the teacup in her hand. "This is a group of famous paintings of the Louvre second only to the Mona Lisa, and it is about the king of Sparta. Leonidas led three hundred Spartan warriors to fight the Persian invasion at the hot spring pass."


    Ryan also saw the huge replica of the famous painting, which is the biggest difference from the original in the Louvre. There is a striking ''300'' on the painting, which is the movie that will be released by Kidman Studios. name.


    Probably seeing that Natalie is not shy about discussing such topics, Gail Gado said, "This is the movie that was shot because of the Iranian government protests, right?"


    She is a standard Israeli, "After the film is released, I will definitely go to the theater to support it."


    "Let''s go to see the imax version together." Scarlett winked at Natalie, and there was no scruples between them. "Although there is no 3D version, the film still launched the imax version."


    "Later conversion?" Natalie asked, Ryan nodded, "It''s a late conversion, but the effect is relatively good."


    This film did not use any exterior scenes. All the shots were shot in front of the green screen in the studio. "Spartan 300 Warriors" can be said to be the same as "Star Wars Episode", which combines blue and green screen technology and computer cg. The result of pushing animation technology to the extreme.


    During the promotion, UU Reading www. In addition to the trailer, the uukanshu.com movie also specially released a shot of the shooting. A group of **** tough guys fight desperately in the studio. Comparing the finished product with the real situation at the time of shooting will produce huge results. In contrast, this has aroused the curiosity of quite a few viewers.


    It is worth mentioning that since "Argo" triggered the confrontation between the Iranian government and Hollywood, the film has maintained a certain degree of topicality. Although the aircraft carrier formation of the federal government has long since withdrawn, the Iranian nuclear issue has increased over the past two years. The six-party talks between the five major rogue nations and Iran have been held several times a year, and the relationship between the United States and Iran is still very tense.


    As the publisher, Jenkins Pictures naturally dragged Iran out of the publicity once again. It easily attracted the attention of many people. As for the idea of ??the Iranian government, does it matter?


    In addition, Jenkins Pictures and Kidman Studios also used all favorable factors for publicity, such as the famous painting in the Louvre, such as the unhesitating transformation of Leonidas into an epic hero against the tyrant...


    Besides, in the history of the West, Leonidas is indeed a hero. r1152

 Chapter 726： Sparta does not need tenderness

    Even at the end of the intense summer season, the commercials and trailers of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" attracted the attention of a considerable number of movie fans.


    "I like the slow motion scenes in the trailer the most, such as the scene where the King of Sparta, Leonidas, bloodbaths a group of unlucky and ugly Persians."


    This is a promotional video on the homepage of yutube, in which the young people interviewed are obviously affected by the constant discrediting by the media, "I know that the film deliberately slows down the rhythm, but in this scene of desperate struggle, the evil Persians Sprinkle blood to your heart''s content, it''s really cool and refreshing."


    There are many people who hold the same opinion. Another young fan also talked about this in the video, "Cool and slow shots, in my opinion, are complete, thorough, and instinctive destruction. It is accompanied by splashes. The blood, the sword fighting part is very attractive.


    "My favorite scene is that in the trailer, Leonidas shot an evil Persian warrior flying with a shield. It''s like flying a fly. Wow, think about it, how powerful it is! "


    At the end of the video, Nicole, who hadn¡¯t appeared in the public for a long time, also came out to sing praises for the film he invested, ¡°If there is no director Zach Schneider¡¯s diverse visual innovations, and only the normal visual speed is used, the continuous bleeding will make The audience is aesthetically tired, and this carefully arranged slow motion shot will keep the eyeballs fresh. "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" is a movie that achieves the ultimate audiovisual special effects."


    In the continuous publicity and hype, the film premiered at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood in late July.


    The most attractive at the premiere was undoubtedly the collective appearance of more than a dozen super sportsmen headed by Gerald Butler and Michael Fassbender. Although they did not wear the iconic red cloak and red trousers, they When walking on the red carpet, it caused constant screams from female fans on the scene.


    Of course, as a boo head for propaganda, a group of Persian ¡®undead¡¯ warriors wearing silver masks. With a team of Spartan warriors with helmets and armours, they ran neatly on the red carpet and stood on both sides.


    Heroic and strong confronted the mysterious and evil face to face, murdering countless film reporters.


    Carrying Nicole onto the red carpet, Ryan just waved gently to both sides, and quickly walked towards the theater. Nicole, who had disappeared from public view for a long time, was not treated coldly by the media like other Hollywood actresses. The occasion she appeared. Almost all are one of the focal points of the media.


    Even if it is not a top actress in Hollywood, who can ignore a stylish and beautiful top female tycoon?


    After nearly a month of planned exercise, Nicole''s figure basically recovered. Ryan accompanied her into the interview area and consciously stepped aside. The microphones of the TV station and the Disney-Ryan online channel were handed to Nicole in an instant. before.


    Although there are some rumors in Hollywood, Disney reporters are not stupid enough to ask their company''s directors with such questions.


    "Miss Kidman, this is your first public appearance in nearly a year, right?"


    "Yes. I took a long vacation."


    Even though I wanted to say something else in my heart, after Nicole''s eyes drifted from Ryan''s face, she still said, "A long time job. It made me feel a lot of pressure, so I took a break."


    "You are the producer and main investor of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors." May I ask if you will go behind the scenes in the future."


    "Investing and making movies is a job I love very much."


    This kind of problem is not difficult for Nicole, "Of course. I will continue my career as an actor, provided that I meet the right role."


    "Previously, on''Middle East Online'' it was reported that Leonidas and Spartans are not heroes. They are just fascists in another sense. May I ask, Miss Kidman, what do you think of this question?"


    "As we all know, the earliest democracy originated in ancient Greece and ancient Rome." Nicole had already done his homework on this agreed problem. "Leonidas and the Spartans resisted the tyrant in order to maintain freedom. They The heroic battle at Hot Springs Pass bought time for the assembly of the Greek coalition forces, thereby protecting the buds of democracy. They fought for freedom and democracy. Nearly 2500 years have passed. Countless historians and writers regard them as Hero, I think this is more convincing than some people¡¯s sophistry."


    As for those historians and writers who were all Westerners, they were automatically ignored by Nicole and all the reporters.


    After answering a few more questions, Nicole picked up Ryan and walked into the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.


    Before the two of them entered the screening hall, they saw the main creative staff after the group photo walked into the theater one after another. Among them, Zach Schneider, who was the director, walked a few steps quickly and caught up.


    "Hi, Zach."


    Facing the warm greeting from the other party, Ryan shook his stretched hand, and Zach Schneider said very seriously, "Mr. Jenkins, thank you for recommending me to direct this film."


    "It turns out you did a great job." Ryan patted his shoulder.


    The other party apparently came to Nicole, and then said as he walked, "Miss Kidman, I have heard some news that the Iranian government and Iranian President Ahmadinejad are likely to publish an official announcement on "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" in the near future. Protest, I am a little worried..."


    "Zach, you just need to be responsible for the promotion." Nicole didn''t raise his eyes. "We''ll take care of this kind of thing."


    "Well."


    Zach Schneider seems to be afraid of affecting his reputation. Now he has Nicole''s assurance and he immediately leaves. He knows very well that the two people next to him have won the battle of public opinion with the Iranian government.


    "This is really good news."


    Entering the theater with a giant screen, Ryan took Nicole to deal with some of the people who said hello, and then sat in the seat behind the crew, "I have seen the hope of selling the movie."


    "Don''t forget..." Nicole reminded him seriously, "The other party is a country."


    "What can they do with us?" Ryan shrugged indifferently.


    Even so, he has asked Disney and all its affiliates to strengthen security measures, including the Internet.


    Since "Argo", the Iranian government, which took the lead in launching map cannons, can be regarded as Hollywood¡¯s public enemy. In recent years, Walt Disney and several other major media groups have been implementing the strategy of pouring black water from teenagers, always passing Some obscure ways to instill in the United States and the entire Western world the idea that Iran is the source of evil in the world.


    "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" is just an extension of this propaganda strategy in the film.


    Of course, anti-dictatorship and anti-tyranny have always been the main theme of the entire Western society. Not to mention the special effects of the film, the subject matter alone meets the taste of the mainstream market.


    Although this film has many unique and innovative features in terms of technique, the concept has inherited the usual traditions of mainstream Hollywood films, with clear black and white and clear distinction between good and evil.


    In Ryan¡¯s eyes, the image of the Persian is far more ugly and evil than in the previous life. Xerxes I¡¯s body is full of piercings and hanging rings. It doesn¡¯t look like a monarch of a country, but like a New York **** man. The most weirdly dressed modern hippies in the bar.


    Also, there are close-ups of Persian soldiers and generals. The image is even more perverted than the perverted characters in traditional American horror films. This is how Hollywood is spreading it to the world, like the Persians. People who are in love must be brutal and cruel in their hearts.


    The focus is still on the movie itself, to apply the words of the North American mainstream media-this is a classic battle that took place 2500 years ago, this is a visual feast of swords and shadows, and it is also known as the most anticipated epic of 2006. Blockbuster.


    The attractiveness of this film is that, in addition to the social factors other than the film, it is mostly due to its suffocating image charm. The cg composite image quality created by the use of blue-green technology to the extreme has a charm that surpasses the real. .


    The dark and warm tones, splashes of blood and tumbling mud are all repeatedly represented. The freeze-frame images of the camera also constantly appear between the fast and slow rhythms, which can easily arouse the emotions of the audience, which almost blends all existing performance images. The tension technique can also make the audience watch it with great interest.


    "Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" is based on a comic, so it should be faithful to the story of the original comics, not the records in the history books. Perhaps the audience who is familiar with history can find the discrepancy, but there is a little bit of it. The magical content involved is to better attract the audience and increase the selling point of the film.


    Among them are the strong men who are tall and strong, with eight pack abs, and run like Hercules. Whenever close-up shots are given to these men, the screams of female audiences will appear from time to time in the rear... ¡­


    As an epic film of course, fierce war scenes are indispensable.


    In the many attacks that the Spartans repelled, the Persians¡¯ tragedy was beyond words. The three hundred people were almost portrayed as gods of war by the film. Dealing with ordinary enemies is like cutting melons and vegetables, in this harsh fight. In the **** battle, the Spartan warriors regarded death as home until they shed the last drop of blood.


    This is a movie with basically no gentleness, broad shoulders, protruding biceps and drunken bodies appear everywhere on the screen.


    In other words, "Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" does not need tenderness, all here is strength and perseverance.


    The characteristics of the film are very prominent, and the shortcomings are also obvious.


    Because they are so attracted by the picture and the rhythm, most viewers will not be deeply impressed by the characters and their characters after watching them. Even the character of the protagonist Leonardo is probably not better than Gera. De Butler''s exaggerated muscles impressed the audience even more.


    The performance in this film can only leave an extremely dilute mark. (To be continued...) u()

 Chapter 727： Reviews are more exciting than movies

    "In terms of technology, although the "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" uses the most mature blue-green screen and cg computer technology in the industry, it is a relatively simple multi-layer picture synthesis, and the complexity is more than that of "King Kong". It¡¯s a different story. The free switching between fast and slow shots frequently used is also a technique used only by mv directors. Directors in the film industry disdain to play with such frivolous techniques."


    With the development of the Internet, film critics will naturally not ignore the extremely important position of the Internet. This is Roger Albert''s long film review in his online column.


    "Many people know that the so-called green screen and blue screen are people performing in front of the screen during film and television shooting. Through processing in the later stage, the filmed action can be placed in front of any background. "Spartan 300 Warriors" is to put blue The screen technology and computer animation technology are the ultimate result. Before the movie was released, I watched its shooting highlights. A group of naked **** men fought in a fake model in the studio, and the finished product was compared with the shooting time. Compared with the real situation, this is definitely the greatest irony in the history of film."


    "I believe that blue-green screens and computer cg animations will increasingly occupy Hollywood screens, and the historical connotations of movies we will see in the future will gradually be emptied. In fact, not only history, but also realistic elements will gradually be emptied. If anything is terrible, then this is the most terrible."


    "In fact, history is never just history, history is the reality that was once vivid. The reason why we shoot and watch historical films is not because we love watching things that are dead, but because people in the past were as excited and dull as we are Passed, sorrowed, rejoiced, because they have a blood-connected relationship with us."


    "The trend of blue-green screens and computer cg animations is on the surface the arbitrarily promoted visual imagination, but when you think about it, these imaginations have no foundation. These imaginations are out of the real environment and have no resonance with real human life. "


    "This is the enlightenment that movies like "Spartan 300 Warriors" bring to us-when we seem to see a kind of''super reality''. We actually only see the''zero reality''. That is to say, sometimes "Super-realism" and "zero-realism" are equivalent. With the continuous advancement of blue-green screens and computer cg animations, the film¡¯s perception of the external world will also fall into the abyss."


    "Why movie audiences always talk about old black and white films? I am afraid it is not out of pure nostalgia, because audiences want to watch more movies that are closely connected with the real world, rather than this kind of strange and ridiculous nostalgia A sensory film with an influx technique that attracts the eye."


    Originally, Ryan hadn''t paid much attention to the professional comments of Roger Albert and others. After all, their influence was getting smaller and smaller, and in the past few years, he had cut off half of his mouth and suffered from cancer. Maybe only God knows whether there are any movies that have been reviewed.


    Besides, since he and Disney led Hollywood to cancel some of the cooperation with film critics, it has directly led to a significant reduction in the income of the old film critics. Except for a few films that must be consistent with mainstream social views, the other party has treated him There hasn¡¯t been any good talk in recent years for starring and leading films.


    With different positions and different interests, Ryan simply didn''t see it. The other party can see God with half of his eye, and he is not really good at suppressing him blatantly.


    If it hadn''t been for Nicole to read it to him, Ryan might not have known the film review published by the other party for a week or a month or even a long time.


    "Sandy, mom is angry."


    Holding her daughter. Ryan said to Nicole who was sitting in front of the computer in the distance, "Well, Nicole, why bother to care about their comments."


    "They just open their mouths. They use their pens..." Nicole said with her lips curled. "Or tap the keyboard a few times and use vicious words to deny the hard work of others for a year, two, or even years."


    Her voice suddenly rose a little higher. "This is a group of despicable parasites!"


    "My dear, my voice is quieter." Ryan hurriedly made a shut up gesture, "You are going to scare Sandy."


    "Sanny..." Nicole said her daughter''s nickname and looked here tenderly, "You don''t care about mother''s voice, do you?"


    Even if the little guy cares, he can''t object, he just glared at those beautiful blue eyes and turned around.


    Nicole got up and walked into the dressing room next to her, changed her clothes, came to Ryan, took Sandy, and kissed her tender little hand gently, "I''m going to feed my daughter."


    She pointed to the computer over there, "When I left, someone seemed to be posting a post against Roger Albert, can you read it for me?"


    "This..." Seeing Nicole''s light blue eyes turning around, Ryan had to walk to the computer, sit down, refresh the web page, and take a closer look, "Wow, the reviews are more exciting than the movies. ."


    Nicole opened the clothes, freed a hand, and gestured to please.


    "Why moviegoers always talk about old black and white films..."


    After reading the last paragraph of Roger Albert¡¯s intercepted in the first reply, Ryan quickly repeated the replies to Roger Albert¡¯s film reviews on the Internet. In fact, he and Ni were not needed. You can stand up and network users composed mainly of young people will fight back for them.


    As he said, reviews are more exciting than movies.


    "Please, who said that audiences like black-and-white movies? I like old movies? Please don''t represent all the audiences, okay? The friends and classmates I know add up to a hundred people. Most of them like watching movies, but they have never heard of them. I like watching black and white movies."


    "Can you keep up with the development of the times? If not, please stop making some inexplicable comments."


    "Watching a movie is enough to get what you want. What I watch is the scene, which is a **** feeling. I am refreshed. Then this is a good movie. You can''t ask every movie to reflect real problems, right? All we want is simple entertainment."


    "I don''t understand what this guy thinks? I just accidentally clicked in here? Could it be that the person who made the comment was an old guy? Then don''t just comment on movies made for young people."


    This one is more straightforward. I don''t know Roger? Albert at all.


    "It seems that Roger Albert is famous?"


    "I don''t know, I searched for the news of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" on Google, and I got here."


    "It doesn''t matter who the commenter is, as long as you like it, it will be a good movie for you."


    "The "Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" has beautiful pictures, shocking music, and passionate stories. People watching it are full of emotion and excitement. This kind of visual blockbuster is a good movie to me!"


    In fact, this is the epitome of the response of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors".


    The response from the film market was very good. On the first three days, it won a box office of 71.65 million US dollars in North America, and a series of competitors such as "Jurassic Park 3" whose box office is inevitably declining due to time were pressed down and sat on the table. The throne of the North American box office leaderboard.


    However, in the eyes of those film critics with eyes above their heads, this film is an opera-like long-form mv. In addition to its connotation and special effects, what they criticize is the random tampering of history, such as pointing out Persia. There can be no rhinos or elephants in the army, but Xerxes I, the king of Persia, was actually a big beard, sitting on the king''s house all the time, instead of a bald head covered with a metal ring as depicted in the movie. Sahuan on the battlefield.


    The summer file is drawing to a close, and Hollywood has recently lacked enough hot topics. In order to attract attention and the public relations of the filmmakers, the latest release of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" has become a hot spot in the entertainment media, and they are skilled and flexible in operation. Very tacitly divided into two factions.


    Today, Disney¡¯s paper media just criticized the film for disrespecting history, and the Internet media represented by Yahoo argued that this is a normal artistic process.


    Traditional media are picking places where the film does not conform to historical records. The online media exemplifies that the film respects history to a certain extent. For example, Xerxes sent a letter to the Greek defenders, saying that there were countless Persian soldiers, and they just shot out. The arrow of the Spartans can block the sun, but the Spartans laughed and said-that would be great, let''s kill it in the shade-this was copied from the history books.


    The hype on both sides has disturbed and attracted more viewers¡¯ attention. As a behind-the-scenes promoter, Ryan watched the box office of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" rise steadily, and it only took ten days for the film¡¯s North American box office. It exceeded 150 million U.S. dollars.


    This number is incomparable with "Iron Man" and "Jurassic Park 3", but the investment in the film is also low. The production cost is only 65 million US dollars. Even if the marketing and other expenses are added, the total investment is only 110 million. Ten thousand dollars only Regarding the historical issues of the film, after nearly a week, it quickly calmed down.


    On the one hand, compared with images, texts are always weak; compared with legends, truth is always weak. There is a history in the world, and if there are more people who have changed, there will be no history.


    In other words, history has lost the truth from the moment it happened.


    Are there few Hollywood movies that tamper with history? Hollywood producers will care about tampering with history?


    The hype in the media is nothing more than a public relations campaign initiated by Jenkins Pictures and Kidman Studios under the impetus of Ryan.


    On the other hand, some people finally challenged North America in terms of public opinion. Perhaps the North American media will be noisy because of a small matter, but when foreign enemies appear, the mainstream media will definitely turn their guns.


    "Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" appeared in overseas markets one after another. When the film was released in the Middle East and Arab regions, the Iranian government once again made a strong response. (To be continued...) u()

 Chapter 728： Why do you have this right?

    For Iran, there is a special holiday in August every year. This is the "International Jerusalem Day" set up by Khomeini, who completely brought Iran into the religion. It calls on Muslims to hold a parade on the last Friday of Ramadan each year in solidarity with Palestine. In the struggle between people, Iran holds a large-scale rally on this day every year.


    This year is no exception. On the "International Jerusalem Day", tens of thousands of Iranians marched on the streets of Tehran. They burned David satellites and the Israeli flag while shouting "Death to America! Die to Israel!" etc. slogan.


    As the representative of theocracy in the secular world, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also delivered a speech aimed at the West, and "Three Hundred Spartans", which was just released in the Middle East, naturally became one of the targets of attack.


    "This movie does not conform to historical facts. It demonizes Iran''s ancestors, Persians, and portrays Iran''s ancestors as a brutal nation. "The Three Hundred Spartans" is equivalent to a declaration of war on Iran!"


    This is Ahmadinejad''s speech broadcast on Al Jazeera. He also announced the ban on broadcasting "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" in China and called on other Islamic countries to ban it.


    As if the energy accumulated for several years erupted at the same time, Iranian media, officials and web bloggers condemned the "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" for describing the Persian King Xerxes I and Persian soldiers as being too negative-the film seems to tell people , Iran has been the source of evil since ancient times, and the ancestors of modern Iranians are ugly barbarians who murdered others.


    Iranian officials directly claimed that this was another "culture war" launched by Hollywood against Iran after "Argo".


    They seem to have learned the lesson of the failure of the last public opinion war. Regardless of the voices of the people, the government no longer fires the "map cannon" lightly, and instead clings to the topic of "cultural aggression."


    "Cultural invasion is a tactic used by the enemy. This kind of slander and insult Iran will not accept or fear it."


    What is the true face of Hollywood. In fact, most countries and regions have learned about it over the years. Those profit-seeking producers have discredited a country more than once.


    Although the North American media are still ridiculing Iran¡ªsmall-minded, like the Persians in the film, with the characteristics of a cruel dictator¡ªbut many media in the Middle East temporarily responded to Iran with sympathy.


    "At present, the United States and Iran are arguing over the nuclear issue. Western countries are seeking the United Nations to impose tougher sanctions on Iran. Hollywood launched this movie at this sensitive time. It clearly uses cultural and psychological tactics to insult Iran¡¯s ancient culture and stimulate Modern people are hostile to Iran."


    This is the view of many Middle Eastern media. After seeing this, Ryan didn''t care at all. Hollywood has always been commercial first, and major film companies are marketing masters. Controversy is an effective means to gain popularity.


    "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" is played by second-tier actors and second-tier directors, and there are no superstars in the film. The fierce reaction from Iran has turned the film into a hot spot in international news. In addition to the already popular North American market, overseas box office numbers are also rising.


    In just twenty days, the North American box office of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" exceeded $200 million. The global box office easily passed the 350 million dollar mark amidst protests from Iranians.


    Perhaps it was the disastrous defeat in the public opinion war on "Argo". The Iranian government has obviously restrained a lot, always taking the film and culture to speak. Easily not open the group mocking mode...


    The North American media jumped up and down at the beginning, ready to do another big fight, but unfortunately the opponents still did not exert any effort. However, in just a few days, attention has also plummeted.


    However, the media of another country, which was ignored, suddenly spoke out, breaking the scene of some deserted public opinion.


    "International Jerusalem Day" is called "Support Palestine", which is actually anti-Israel. In addition, David satellites and the Israeli flag are burned in public gatherings. If Israel does not respond, it would be strange.


    In addition to regular protests, Israel''s "Ha¡¯aretz" also brought out the "Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" to speak out.


    "The Iranians¡¯ reaction to "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is really funny. To be precise, the Islamists destroyed Persia and the Persian civilization represented by Zoroastrianism. Hollywood filmed this no longer existent. A movie of barbaric civilization, is it the turn to get the true enemies and enemies of this group of Persian civilization to defend the dignity of the''Persians''?"


    "The modern so-called Persian has lost all ancient culture, including writing, and fully accepted Islam. It has also been reduced from the ruling nation to slaves of Arabs, Mongols, Turks and Azerbaijanis. The modern Persian Iranian They are completely out of touch with ancient history. They are different from us. They are a nation without history!"


    "Iran, this alien species in the Middle East, from a certain perspective, is a low-level version of its own civilization failure. They have lost their own history, writing and religion, and have become a subculture conquered by other cultures..."


    Being ridiculed by Hollywood and North American media, Iran can bear it, but being ridiculed by Israel, which he said must be eliminated, Iran almost immediately fell into a state of rampage.


    On the second day of Ha¡¯aretz¡¯s remarks, Iranian President Ahmadinejad delivered a fierce speech.


    "Israel''s''Zionist regime and Zionists'' are a malignant tumor, and this malignant tumor will soon be removed!"


    "A new Middle East is about to be built. Because of the protection of God and the help of the people, there will be no more Americans and Zionists in the new Middle East. The existence of the Zionist regime is extremely important to all mankind. Great shame. In fact, to attack the Zionist regime is to protect the rights and dignity of all mankind!"


    At the same time, Ahmadinejad ordered the banning of world-renowned websites including the "New York Times" website, Amazon website, Google search, etc., and all radio and television stations across the country ban Western music and foreign films, especially those that violate Iran. Movies of Western cultural factors of Muslim culture.


    Of course, the aforementioned websites and cultural products could not enter Iran through formal channels before.


    The Iranian government''s attitude towards Israel and Western culture finally triggered a series of chain reactions.


    The first thing that jumped out must be the federal government. The White House spokesperson severely condemned Ahmadinejad. He said-if the Iranian government really cares about protecting the rights and dignity of all mankind, then the Iranian government should stop nuclear testing, liberate women and eliminate them. Extreme religiousism is truly a contribution to all mankind.


    On the same day, the spokesperson of the UN Security Council issued a statement stating that the Security Council was strongly dissatisfied with Ahmadinejad¡¯s speech. He believed that leaders of countries in the Middle East should use their influence to ¡°defuse, rather than aggravate, tensions in the region¡±.


    Even France and Russia, which have always had a loose attitude towards Iran, suddenly changed their faces, calling Ahmadinejad''s speech "outrageous and intolerable."


    Finally, a cultural controversy has once again evolved into the focus of social politics.


    At this time, Ryan received an invitation from the National Jewish Association and rushed to the world media capital of Burbank to participate in an informal cocktail party. Although the recent hot topics were not explicitly discussed at the cocktail party, many Jewish people from the media industry All the children understand the purpose of the reception, and they have reached a silent understanding.


    Subsequently, many North American media began a new round of smearing actions against Iran. The major media under Walt Disney, including the Children''s Channel, once again set off a propaganda campaign to smear the teenagers.


    For Ryan, the Iranians are neither compatriots in the previous life, but also the opposite of this life. He doesn''t care whether their reputation is good or bad.


    The TV station soon played a video tape about Ahmadinejad, sternly accusing him and the Iranian government of his denial of the Holocaust.


    "In a TV speech broadcast nationwide in Iran in December 2005, Ahmadinejad called the Holocaust a legend made up by people. A year later, he also held a two-day Holocaust denial conference!"


    After the video was broadcast, the TV station also quoted the comments of several well-known social commentators-Ahmadinejad and the Iranian government''s remarks will only deceive the ignorant and illiterate, and in Western civilization, it will make them look ridiculous. The truth is It was the Jewish Holocaust, the most fully documented event in human history!


    The program also declared that the Iranian government was either shamelessly provoking the Jews, or it was shockingly ignorant They should immediately stop this act that made the world angry.


    Similar arguments appeared on TV programs, even pointing out that Ahmadinejad¡¯s Iranian government is a religious puppet.


    ¡°As a unique country with theocratic and political dualism, Ahmadinejad is actually not the real head of state. Khamenei and the great Ayatollahs around him are the real masters of Iran. Iran¡¯s internal affairs today, The main axis of diplomacy is not so much Ahmadinejad¡¯s proposition, but rather the position of those great Ayatollahs who have no secular experience. These people who are not current and isolated from the world are bringing Iran into the abyss of extremism... "


    The situation in the Persian Gulf suddenly became tense. The Security Council warned Iran to abandon nuclear testing as soon as possible. Ahmadinejad¡¯s answer was-why do you have this right, but we don¡¯t?


    This is simply blatantly provoking the authority of the five rogue states. The United Nations passed a new round of sanctions against Iran almost as quickly as possible, and the federal government even imposed additional unilateral sanctions...


    Subsequently, the person in charge of the White House specializing in Hollywood affairs found several major production companies and urged Hollywood to further produce movies on Iranian subjects. The federal government will pay for some of the costs. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 729： cultural conflict

    It is generally consistent with the mainstream society and safeguarding the interests of the interests of the class. This is something that almost all the rich in the United States will do. Ryan is no exception. In his current position, Iran is the enemy, not to mention the slander of Iran. Obtain huge benefits.


    In North America¡¯s condemnation of Iran, the Jenkins Film Foundation under his name announced that it would invest in two Iranian-themed films, directed by the Iranian cartoonist and illustrator Marga Satabi, who is now living in Paris. "I Grew Up in Iran" and "A Parting" by Iranian director Askha Farhati who was expelled by the Iranian government.


    As for the subject matter of the movie, it must be closely related to the reality of Iranian society.


    The former reveals through the eyes of a precocious and outspoken girl that during the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the fundamentalist''s control of power led to the destruction of Iranian hopes. Women were forced to wear veils and tens of thousands of people were thrown into prison. She I was finally forced to leave my hometown to go to France to pursue an optimistic and bright future.


    The latter will show contemporary Iranians'' entanglement in family affection and religious life, insinuate and criticize Iran''s hierarchical religious society, and will especially pay attention to the situation of Iranian women.


    In addition to the Jenkins Film Foundation, Warner Bros., Disney Pictures and Paramount Pictures will all participate in the investment, production and distribution of the film. The federal government will also apply for a special sponsorship to cover part of the expenses for these two films. Pay the bill.


    As early as the mid-1990s, Ryan had chosen his position, even for the benefit of him and the entire group represented by him, he would continue to discredit Iranian propaganda.


    As a well-known Iranian director who was imprisoned first and then deported, Askha Fahati was even put on the Oprah talk show by many forces behind him, telling the world about the dangers of insisting on creative work in Iran. .


    "Mr. Fahati, you were banned by the Iranian government after filming "About Elli", and you were thrown into jail for a while, and you were eventually forced to leave your hometown. You should know very well what kind of movie subject matter cannot be touched in Iran of?"


    "There are many themes that are not allowed, such as cultural and political dissent, violent themes or films with sexual scenes. This is why it is difficult for Iranian films to develop. Iranian filmmakers are always looking for suitable ways of expression. We can¡¯t beat the review system, we can only insist on creating in the cracks."


    "When you are in Iran, would you rather risk being imprisoned to make movies freely?"


    "I''m not a hero, nor a politician, I''m just a filmmaker. I only hope to speak through the film when I have something to say. If I choose, I prefer to create freely without taking risks. . But in Iran, this is obviously impossible."


    same. Marga Satabi has also accepted many interviews with Western media, and some of these words have been repeatedly hyped up by the North American media.


    "I just want to pass this work, I hope people will not forget those Iranians who lost their lives in prison, suffered under various tyranny rules, or were forced to leave their relatives and motherland in order to defend Iran''s freedom!"


    For the Western media, the other words of the two Iranian artists living abroad are not important. Just these two paragraphs are enough to make them prove to the people in the West what a terrifying country Iran is now.


    Although the topic triggered by the movie has shifted to current affairs and politics, "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", like "Argo", is definitely one of the biggest winners of this storm.


    By the end of August. The film still maintains a weekly box office revenue of nearly 15 million U.S. dollars. The North American box office is gradually approaching 250 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office is infinitely close to 450 million U.S. dollars, with such a development momentum. The final North American box office is expected to hit 300 million U.S. dollars, and it is almost inevitable that the global box office will exceed 500 million U.S. dollars.


    In the words of the media, as an investor, Nicole Kidman can lie on the floor full of dollars and count banknotes.


    After the first US$50 million share of the North American theaters, Nicole set up a trust fund for Sandy. She clearly told Ryan that she hoped that her daughter could grow up and live happily in the future, instead of being like her father. Often distressed by interest entanglement.


    Regarding this, Ryan did not express any opinions, and her daughter''s future path must be chosen by herself in the future.


    Similarly, he also set up a trust fund for Sandy, and transferred the shares and future dividends of several IT companies such as Apple and Microsoft, which are only in single digits under the name of another foundation, to this trust fund. .


    The international situation is turbulent, the gunpowder kegs in the Middle East tend to explode again, and Iran faces sanctions from the international community. These are almost the themes of August.


    Perhaps it was the sanctions imposed by the international community, or the growing opposition in the country, or perhaps it really wanted to change the image of the country. After September, the Iranian government gradually calmed down. Not only did it hope to restart the six-party talks, the North American upper class also There are rumors that Iranian diplomats in the United States implicitly stated to the federal government that Ahmadinejad would like to visit the United States officially next year to ease the cultural and ideological conflict between the two countries.


    When the truth of these rumors is still unknown, the Ministry of Culture of Iran suddenly issued a statement, hoping to invite representatives of the American Film Association and Hollywood celebrities including Ryan, Spielberg, George Clooney, etc. to visit Iran and let them pass their own eyes. , To observe a real Iran.


    "You don''t really want to accept the invitation of the Iranian government, do you?"


    Charlize Theron, who only came back from South Africa yesterday, put down the fashion magazine in his hand and looked at Ryan holding an invitation letter with some worry, "Middle East... Ryan, you''d better not go."


    "I never said I want to go."


    Putting down the invitation letter handed over by the Motion Picture Association of America, Ryan lay on his back in a rocking chair, looking at the stars above the terrace, and said, "The Motion Picture Association wants to organize a delegation, and Disney can send any representatives."


    "I can rest assured that."


    After taking a strawberry from the fruit plate on the table, Charlize threw it to Ryan, "What the real Iran is like has nothing to do with us."


    "Bingo~"


    Ryan snapped his fingers, stuffed strawberries into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Iran is now a dictatorship or a democratic society. It has no meaning to Hollywood. What Hollywood movies want to show will always be something that meets the needs of Hollywood''s interests. Iran."


    "Is it possible to change this situation?" Charlize simply dragged a wicker chair and sat beside him. "Judging from the current rumors, the Iranian government seems to be making some changes."


    "Let''s put it this way." Ryan took Charlize''s hand and gently drew a circle on her palm. "If the Iranian market is open to Hollywood movies, it can bring more than 500 million US dollars in the box office every year. Hollywood movies The image of Iran in China will improve immediately."


    "But in this case," he said again, "Iran is not what it is now."


    "If I open the CT store to Iran..."


    Charlize pulled the fruit bowl closer, took a strawberry, bitten off half of it, and stuffed the other half into Ryan''s mouth. "My dear, can our fashion products gain a foothold in Tehran?"


    "Charlie, don''t forget, your brand is mainly aimed at women." Ryan raised a finger and shook it. "It''s not during Pahlavi¡¯s time. It¡¯s impossible for Iranian women to appear on the streets in fashion. Even if you buy it back, you can only wear it secretly at home."


    "Well, I just think about it." She shrugged. "Since the Islamic Revolution, Iran has become more adherent to Persian traditions."


    "No, no, my dear." Ryan shook his head slowly. "Conservation has nothing to do with Persian tradition. Now Iran is extremely conservative. This is not the record of Persian tradition."


    Seeing the South African diamond showing unusual interest, Ryan continued, ¡°Pahlavi is indeed a bastard, and he is not a qualified ruler, but during his time in power, Iran¡¯s traditional cultural characteristics were stronger, such as not adopting The mark of the red cross or the red crescent is adopted by the traditional Persian red lion mark, which has been recognized by the international community.


    "This puppet ruler even wanted to restore the glorious culture of ancient Persia. In this regard, he made a lot of attempts at secularization, Persianization and de-Arabization, and achieved some results. Although Iran¡¯s domestic conflicts were sharp at the time, there were still some cultural aspects. Build a tree."


    "It is said that the status of women has been greatly improved at that time."


    Hearing what Charlize said, Ryan nodded, "Unfortunately, Pahlavi is a puppet supported by the federal government. He has too many problems and can be easily overthrown."


    "What about Iran now?"


    "Today''s Iran, apart from the Arabicized Persian language, actually has little contact with Persia."


    Opening his mouth to bite the strawberry that Charlize had brought over Ryan chewed and said, ¡°Also, from a different standpoint, there will be different opinions. From the perspective of our interests, the Iranian government It is a dictatorship that engages in terrorism."


    As for the truth, how many people in the United States care about it?


    "So..." Charlize''s eyes rolled quickly a few times. "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors will have a sequel?"


    "Not for the time being." Ryan shook his head, "Zach Schneider and Frank Miller accepted the invitation of Warner Bros. to prepare to make "Watchmen."


    These two people can be said to be one of the people who have benefited the most from "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors." Zach Schneider showed his directorial talents to the whole Hollywood, and Frank Miller''s comics became closely watched by various film companies. Selection of film adaptations.


    "My dear, it''s late." Ryan stood up and hugged Charlize directly, "We should go to rest."


    "Aren''t you crazy enough this afternoon?" Charlize took the initiative to kiss. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 730： The worst movie that Disney lost

    As soon as the sun rose from the east, tight footsteps sounded on the cobblestone path of the manor. Ryan and Charlize in short sportswear walked through the woods one after another, letting their running shoes shatter and flicker. The fallen leaves with dewdrops, on the dappled light spots of the sun, left traces that belonged to the two of them alone.


    They were not fast. After running out of the woods, they circled the garden and finally walked into the restaurant through the back door of the villa.


    After taking the towel handed by the servant to wipe off the sweat, Ryan and Charlize sat at the dining table and beckoned to the former Mr. Bodyguard who had obviously been waiting for a while, "Hi, George, waited a long time."


    "Ryan, if you don''t come again."


    No longer engaged in serious security work, George occasionally joked, "I''m going to eat up breakfast."


    "If your stomach is big enough, I have no objection."


    Ryan looked at the housekeeper sitting next to Charlize, "I think Lisa definitely doesn''t like a fatter George."


    "Actually."


    Lisa holding the donut raised her head and said, "He is already twenty pounds heavier than his normal weight."


    "Do you need me to introduce a weight loss coach?" Charlize turned to ask Lisa, "I promise, in just one month, the old George will change back."


    Ryan has never been particular about table manners in private. Several people talked and ate, and it took about twenty minutes before they ran out of breakfast.


    Back in the living room, Charlize and Lisa talked about some trivia about daily life, while George talked about what Ryan had told him to do some time ago.


    "Sandy''s trust fund, Scott has completed all the procedures." He flipped through several documents and said softly to Ryan, "Regarding stocks and dividends, at most the end of the month can be transferred to the trust fund. "


    "As for the representatives going to Iran, two producers from Touchstone Pictures and Disney''s Animation Department took the initiative to apply for registration."


    "Also, the Google board of directors this month..."


    "It''s better that you take the place for me."


    Take the coffee from the servant. Ryan thought for a while, "There is also the board of directors of Blizzard Entertainment next month, and you will participate for me."


    George nodded lightly, then turned to the last page of the document, ¡°This month, Disney¡¯s office system was attacked by a hacker because we were prepared and the other party did not cause any loss.¡±


    "What do Cook Dick and Robert Iger think?" Ryan frowned slightly.


    "Their opinion is to report the case to the FBI."


    Listening to George''s words, Ryan lifted his chin and thought about it, "Yes. Also. Remember to remind them to strengthen network protection, and don''t use email and office systems to communicate private speeches and opinions about celebrities among employees."


    Sending George away, Ryan is still thinking about the hacker, it is hard to say that it has nothing to do with Iran.


    After all, from "Argo" to "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", although he has not personally made any remarks against Iran, he wants to come to the Iranian government to know what role he and The Walt Disney Group have played.


    Fortunately, be prepared in advance. No loss was caused, but I still can''t be careless in the future.


    "I''m going to read the script." Charlize stood up and prepared to go to the study upstairs, "Are you with me?"


    "of course."


    Ryan walked over and pulled her up to the second floor. "I want to study my new role."


    "You seem to be particularly concerned." Charlize quickly cast his lips behind Ryan, "I heard that this is your Oscar-impact movie specially prepared for Portman director?"


    "Hey, dear."


    Entering the study, Ryan closed the door. Pressed Charlize on the chair behind the desk, "If you want to be a director, I can also write a script for you."


    "I have no interest in directors." Charlize shrugged. I took the script placed next to him, "Why don''t we star in this movie together?"


    "I remember when I watched it yesterday..." Ryan turned to the desk and sat across from him, "Is the leading actor a black man?"


    "If you are willing to act." Charlize opened the script, read it, and said without looking up, "Sony Columbia Pictures must be happy to change the role of the actor."


    Ryan knew that Charlize was only joking and shook his head, "The style of the whole movie will change. You should know that I am not suitable for a funny type of role."


    "Sony Columbia invited Will Smith." Charlize just nodded slightly.


    "Sure enough, it''s a big deal." Ryan took the script of "Black Swan" and flipped through it at will. "Your two''s pay will account for nearly half of the film''s production cost."


    The new movie they are talking about is "The Superman Hank for All". In order to impress Charlize, Sony Columbia Pictures directly offered 22 million U.S. dollars in remuneration, which made the South African Diamonds into the 20 million club in one fell swoop. .


    "What do you think of the script?" Charlize asked suddenly.


    For this purely commercial film, she, like most companies in Hollywood, has a blind obedience to Ryan.


    "If the director doesn''t make random shots, plus the appeal of you and Will Smith, the film''s box office problem should not be big." Ryan''s gaze fell on the script in Charlize''s hands. "But, how do you say this script? What..."


    "Huh?" Charlize raised his head.


    "I feel that there are two styles before and after, it seems to be written by two people or two teams." Ryan shook his head and joked, "I really suspect that the screenwriter was kidnapped by aliens before he finished writing. , So Sony Columbia had to make another substitution."


    "I''m not kidding you." Charlize''s eyes fell back to the script. "I want to study the characters. The film will start shooting soon."


    Nodded, Ryan put the script of "Black Swan" aside, fetched a notebook, and flipped through the latest work emails.


    "Iron Man", which was first released by Walt Disney in this summer, just rolled off the North America. The North American box office finally stopped at US$348.55 million. The current overseas box office is close to US$300 million, and the global box office exceeds US$650 million. There must be no problem.


    On the other hand, the "Iron Man" Blu-ray discs began to accept online bookings last month, and the current pre-sale sales have reached 2.82 million sets. It is estimated that after the disc is officially launched, sales in North America will exceed 4 million sets in the first week.


    Just 4 million sets of CDs can bring nearly 40 million US dollars in profits for Disney.


    Compared with "Iron Man", "Cars", which also started pre-sales on Blu-ray discs, is much worse. The current number of North American reservations is only more than 800,000, and the box office performance is also much worse.


    After the North American box office of "Cars 2" surpassed 240 million US dollars, it almost fell into a standstill. The box office performance of this film is indeed a lot slower than the previous works of Pixar Studios.


    However, just like the "Wall Street Journal" commented, it has almost become a boy''s "Disney Princess Series". The sales of peripheral toys in the film have been amazing under Disney''s vigorous promotion.


    So far, the global box office of the film has only exceeded 400 million U.S. dollars, and the sales of many peripheral products such as toys, models and cultural shirts have exceeded 500 million U.S. dollars worldwide.


    In addition, Disney¡¯s game department is developing a game called "Cars: Rapid Lightning", and the amusement park company is investigating and demonstrating the feasibility of converting an old car park in Disney¡¯s California Adventure Park into a "racing world" recreation area. .


    There is also "Jurassic Park 3" with outstanding commercial performance. This film with 3d and imax as its main selling points, although the dinosaur boom caused is far from being compared with "Jurassic Park" when it was released, 3d and imax The high ticket price of imax made up the gap in the number of movie viewers.


    After more than a month of screening, the North American box office of the film is steadily approaching 400 million US dollars, and the global box office is about to touch the 1 billion US dollar mark.


    Perhaps for professionals, this is just an ordinary film showing off visual effects, but for the entire film industry in North America, it has extraordinary significance.


    The great commercial success of "Jurassic Park 3" fully demonstrates the benefits that 3D and imax can bring, and greatly accelerates the increase in 3D screens and the construction of imax cinemas in North America and the world.


    Less than two months after the box office of "Jurassic Park 3" was released in the first week, 170 3D screens were added in North America alone, and nearly 50 imax cinemas are under construction.


    Following the trend is a common phenomenon all over the world.


    There is also "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", as the end of the trilogy, the global box office of this film is slowly approaching 1 billion US dollars, and the subsequent sequel, because of the need to change the director, starring and Johnny ? Depp''s see-saw negotiation will inevitably fail to start in the short term.


    In addition to films, Walt Disney is slowly taking stock of DreamWorks Animation Studios. The shares held by Disney Group are infinitely close to the five percent that must be disclosed to the market.


    Of course, Disney¡¯s films are not without failures. For example, the NBA''s "Road to Glory" released by Bowei International, with a total investment of more than 60 million U.S. dollars, returned to the North American box office of 32.64 million U.S. dollars. The overseas box office, which has become more and more important, is even more terrible.


    The film released at the beginning of this year has so far only been introduced in three overseas regions: Germany, New Zealand and Australia, and it has only received a pitiful US$290,000 in overseas box office. The weak performance of the film directly affects the confidence of overseas distributors, unless forced to cooperate with Other movies are sold in bundles, otherwise it will be difficult to find other overseas distributors.


    The overseas box office revenue that "Route of Glory" can bring can only be said to be better than nothing. Disney has no plans to bundle sales, and is currently negotiating with some overseas companies to sell the copyright of DVD video tapes.


    However, even relying on the surroundings, "The Way to Glory" will be the worst movie that Disney has lost in the past two years. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 731： Larry Ellisons invitation

    The roar of the motor was from far to near, and the yellow Chevrolet Camaro crossed the street like the wind, and stopped near the''Autobot'' studio amid the crisp sound of brakes.


    Ryan unfastened his seat belt and glared at Tyler who was driving. "Alison, don''t tell me you drive like this!"


    "No more." Taylor slowly backed the car into the parking space and said playfully, "I just got the Hornet, so I was a little excited."


    She opened the car door, followed Ryan to the studio, and said as she walked, "Why isn''t the Bumblebee unique?"


    "Satisfy." Ryan ignored Taylor''s complaint, "There are only six Camaro sports cars of the same configuration in the world, and only two have the marks of Bumblebee and Autobot at the same time."


    "Where is the other one?" Taylor hurried a few steps, caught up with Ryan, and took his arm. "Could it be that you collected it? No, you don''t seem to have much interest in cars."


    "In Nat''s garage."


    When he approached the "Autobot" studio, Ryan immediately slowed down. There was obviously a paparazzi in front of him. After the bodyguards isolated those guys, he and Taylor walked in amidst the flashing lights.


    The front hall of the studio is arranged as an exhibition room. Many models of Autobots and Decepticons, large and small, are placed in various places. You can also see that the TV station''s camera is shooting some pictures. It should be The film will be released in the future to produce a promotional video.


    "Wow~"


    Those royal blue eyes swept over the model one by one, and Taylor couldn''t help slowing down, "Can I remove them all?"


    "My dear, don''t be too greedy." Ryan pulled her, and the two continued to move forward, "You already have a Bumblebee sports car."


    "The way from Beverly Hills to here." Taylor stretched out five fingers and flipped it in front of Ryan. "I saw five Camaro sports cars of the same model."


    "This shows that our propaganda is very successful." Ryan didn''t answer her words at all. "Chevrolet''s marketing is also very successful."


    "The movie will be released in more than two months."


    Under the reception of a staff member, Taylor followed Ryan into a corridor. "It''s a bit early to start large-scale publicity now?"


    "Now only the cooperating manufacturers are working hard." Ryan shook his head, "Our propaganda will not sprint until the last month."


    Since the summer, major manufacturers that have signed advertising and licensing agreements with the "Autobot" studio have successively launched products related to the Transformers series, such as the sales of the Camaro sports car launched by the Bumblebee and Chevrolet. Even if it is considerable, after the movie is released, it will inevitably trigger a peak in sales.


    Many related products. It did not wait until the film was released before it was released. Although the exposed Optimus Prime and Bumblebee styles have received numerous online complaints, the film has attracted the attention of many people thanks to the promotion of sponsors.


    As for Optimus Prime and Bumblebee who have been complained about, there is no way. After all, it is definitely unavoidable to destroy some people''s childhood memories.


    After the staff leading the way knocked gently on the door, the door of the recording studio opened from the inside, and Ryan and Taylor walked in. We greeted softly with the people inside, preparing for the next work.


    "Hi, Michael."


    Seeing the long-faced director approaching, Ryan shook his hands gently. "You look a lot thinner."


    "Ryan..."


    Michael Bay pointed to the visibly sunken long face, "If you don''t plan for two years of production time, I would rather compensate for the liquidated damages than take over the second part."


    "Don''t complain, Michael." Ryan also knew from the end of the filming. The entire production team is working overtime and rushing to work, "After the film is released, you can have a long vacation. How come the second part will not be ready until the middle of next year."


    "Then we are ready to dub."


    This time I came here to dub the leading actor, because when shooting battle scenes, there were explosions everywhere, and many live recordings were unavailable and could only be solved by dubbing later.


    The few clips that needed to be dubbed were already done by others, and only Sam, who played Ryan, was left.


    "Wow, that''s so cool."


    Seeing the picture on the screen, Taylor couldn''t help but mutter.


    In the picture is the final battle between Autobots and Decepticons. Unlike the air when shooting, two groups of robots have been generated to join them. These big guys make lifelike, if not mechanical appearance, they are flexible. Faces with full movements and expressions are simply a replica of human beings such as higher beings.


    The bodies of these mechanical life from the planet Cybertron, like humans, are full of streamlined beauty. If it is really like some people suggested during the preparations, it is replaced with a square, thick and bulky robot shape. For a film with visual effects as the main selling point, it will definitely be a commercial **** case from the box office to the surroundings.


    Walking into the recording studio, Ryan put on headphones, picked up a few pages of script full of lines, watched the rewinding screen after playing it again, and started today''s work.


    "Whether fear or courage is controlling you..."


    Hearing the familiar voice of Megatron, even if he didn''t look at the list of voice actors, Ryan could hear that it was the voice of Elrond King Hugo? Weiwen, "Give me the source of the fire!"


    To Mike, Ryan took a few quick breaths, showing that Sam was nervous at the moment, and then shouted, "!"


    "Give me the source of fire, human reptiles, I will spare you not to die and let you be my pet..."


    "!" After another shout, it turned into a self-talking voice, "What should I do? What should I do now?"


    "Poor reptile!"


    "I will never give you this source of fire!" As if stimulated by Megatron''s mocking voice, he shouted, "Humans are not reptiles!"


    "..."


    Screaming, tight breathing, breathing while running, yelling mixed between Optimus Prime and Megatron, these rather confusing lines have become the focus of Ryan''s expression.


    "If you don''t pay, you won''t win!"


    It is not until this sentence that the dubbing work for a day is over, and some parts of it are unavoidable to repeat many times.


    "Michael..."


    Out of the dubbing room, Ryan and Michael Bay went all the way to the outside of the studio, "How long will the film be finished?"


    "The part of the full imax lens needs to be modified, and some cg lenses have not been added."


    Sending Ryan to the exhibition room in the front hall, Michael Bay said, "I promise, it will not exceed early November at the latest."


    "Then I will wait for your good news."


    After shaking hands with Bombshell, Ryan left the Autobot studio with Taylor.


    In fact, he doesn¡¯t need to be too urging for the film. After the failure of "Escape from the Island", those critics who had watched Michael Bay for a long time continued to ridicule, saying that the audience was tired of his cinematic style of explosion except for collisions. Hollywood There is no place for him anymore.


    Michael Bay must have taken a sigh of relief, wanting to turn around with the help of this film, especially for those professional film critics who have been able to enter the old paper to see which group of people are most tired of movie audiences!


    "Oh, God!"


    As soon as he got into the Hornet sports car, Taylor covered his forehead and pointed to a yellow sports car passing by, "It''s another Camaro!"


    "Honey, you should think so." Ryan fastened his seat belt. "Their sports car can''t become a bumblebee."


    "But mine can''t be deformed either."


    Having said that, Taylor''s hand gently brushed the Autobot sign on the steering wheel, "Where are we going."


    "Back to Beverly Hills."


    I just finished talking. Before Tyler started the car, there was a knock on the window. Ryan opened the door. Outside was John with a mobile phone, so he could rush over. The caller must have a lot of weight. .


    "Mr. Ellison''s phone." He handed over the mobile phone.


    "Larry Ellison?" Ryan asked.


    "Yes." John replied and flashed aside. "He should call back soon."


    Sure enough, in less than half a minute, the mobile phone rang again. After Ryan connected, he spoke briefly with Larry Ellison, the Silicon Valley madman on the other end of the phone, then hung up the phone and did something to Taylor. Gesture to drive.


    The motor roared, and the yellow Camaro pulled out of the parking space and drove towards Beverly Hills.


    "What does Larry Ellison do with you?" Taylor looked very curious, "Could it be that he invited you to visit his new house, new plane or new yacht, and want to fight you for wealth?"


    "If it''s such a boring thing." Ryan reminded Taylor to pay attention to the situation on the road, and then said again, "Do you think I will accept his invitation?"


    "What the **** is it?" Taylor was completely aroused by curiosity.


    "The new movie his son has cast and participated in is about to be released." Ryan didn''t mean to sell it, and said directly, "Larry Ellison invited many rich and famous people, including me, to participate in the film premiere. David Ellison?" Taylor couldn''t help rolling his eyes. "Which air combat movie he invested in? "Air Combat Heroes"?"


    "Have you heard of it?" Ryan asked.


    "Who doesn''t know in Hollywood now." Taylor''s news has always been well-informed. "As long as there are planes in the movie, the rich young man who has money and nowhere to spend will be eager to sign out the check."


    "By the way, Ryan." She said again, "Take me with me. I really want to see what he will do in a film he invested 60 million US dollars in production and 40 million US dollars in promotion and marketing."


    "no problem."


    This is just a trivial matter. Ryan didn''t mean to refuse, "As long as you have time."


    "Oh, and... I heard that Megan Ellison also dropped out of the USC Film School. She also wants to enter Hollywood..."


    The rest of the time on the road became Taylor''s gossip talk show. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 732： Can such a war movie enter the theater?

    As the biggest investor in "Air Combat Heroes", David Ellison held a grand premiere for this movie. Perhaps the money is really just a digital game for him. The premiere is absolutely luxurious in terms of luxury. Ranked first among all movies released in Hollywood this year.


    The premiere was not only selected at the Kodak Theater at the junction of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Boulevard, but even at the entrance of the theater, there were five vintage propeller airplanes produced in the 1920s and 1930s. These are not model props, but Larry ?Ellison''s collection of genuine old-fashioned planes.


    David Ellison and Larry Ellison, father and son, are avid airplane lovers.


    In addition to the big scenes, there are not a few Hollywood celebrities and well-known Americans who participated in the premiere.


    Although Larry Ellison is a famous big mouth, his reputation in the media is not very good, but like Ryan, accepting his invitation, there are not a few rich people who come to join in.


    For example, David Geffen, one of the Big Three of DreamWorks, Summer Redstone, the media giant of Viacom, Tim Cook, the current Apple, and so on.


    Even Larry Ellison''s old opponent, Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft, appeared on the red carpet.


    In fact, to put it bluntly, just like the companies they control, these rich people have competition and a certain degree of cooperation. In this trivial matter, it is more face-saving.


    Walking quickly across the red carpet, Ryan also heard Larry Ellison''s iconic loud voice when he was holding Taylor through the interview area.


    "What? The first week of the box office of "Air Combat Heroes"?"


    This Silicon Valley madman is being interviewed by the media, just like the words in the past, so proud, "As early as the last century, I said that David is a film genius who can match Ryan Jenkins. Of course, he is talented. It¡¯s just getting started, but it¡¯s certainly not a problem to get $60 million in the first week of "Air Combat Heroes" in North America."


    "Don''t you go over and say something?" Tyler whispered to Ryan. "Oh, the movie genius who is next to you."


    "Don''t be naughty."


    Ryan pulled her, and the two quickly walked into the Kodak Theater, and under the guidance of several receptionists, they headed straight to the hall.


    They were almost the latest to come. When they entered the theater hall where the giant screen was installed, the front row belonged to the guests, almost full of people.


    David Geffen, Summer Redstone and Tim Cook, who reached out in the same order, shook hands, and Ryan walked to his seat, except for Taylor on the left. On his right is Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft.


    The two are not particularly familiar, but they have always met on other occasions before and greeted them casually. Paul Allen''s topic directly turned to Walt Disney''s increasingly obvious acquisition activities.


    "Your people have been in contact with me, Ryan."


    "Are you interested in Disney''s proposal?"


    This is a purely commercial transaction, and Ryan doesn''t make a detour, "Paul, Disney is bound to win the DreamWorks Animation Studios."


    As early as the beginning of DreamWorks in the last century, Paul Allen was one of the investors of DreamWorks. Later, after the separation of DreamWorks Animation Studios, he was also a shareholder second only to Ryan and DreamWorks Big Three.


    "If you look at the investment level, my investment in the year has achieved more than five times the profit." Paul Allen also showed the nature of a businessman, "but. Ryan, I will transfer the shares of DreamWorks Animation Studio in my hand. To Disney, what good is it for me?"


    "I heard that your Seattle Seahawks have always been interested in New Englanders quarterback Tom Brady?" Ryan said without giving him a chance to answer. "He is a signed player under the sports department of kk agency, and her girlfriend Gisele Bunchen is also kk''s signed model, and Miss Theron is still a friend. So..."


    Ryan gave Paul Allen an expression you understand.


    After just thinking about it for less than ten seconds, Paul Allen stretched out his hand to Ryan, "Happy cooperation."


    "Happy cooperation." Ryan shook his hand gently.


    The addition of a Tom Brady is enough to make the Seattle Seahawks more attractive. This New England quarterback was not only the NFL¡¯s most valuable player last year, but also beat Tiger Woods on the Forbes Celebrity Rankings. , Became the number one celebrity in American sports last year.


    For American football, the nation''s largest sport, the importance of quarterbacks, even a layman like Ryan, knows something.


    Since it wants to acquire DreamWorks Animation Studios, Disney will naturally make targeted preliminary preparations. Take Paul Allen, one of the shareholders, for example. Since he bought the Seattle Seahawks in 1997, he has always wanted to Winning the Vince Lombardi Cup in the Super Bowl, he wanted to sign Tom Brady several times, but failed for various reasons.


    This is an obvious exchange of benefits.


    "This is how we manipulate the fate of others?"


    After Ryan turned back, Tyler whispered in his ear, "Without the other party''s knowledge, did he decide his future path?"


    "Our people will only persuade." Ryan also lowered his voice, "and won''t help anyone make a decision."


    The latter words, even if he does not say, Taylor will understand.


    Like those football stars in the European League, in addition to the temptation of enough money for a sports star to change the club, the persuasion of agents and people around them often plays an extremely important role.


    Not to mention the kk brokerage company signed by Tom Brady, his current girlfriend and future wife Gisele Bunchen are definitely a smart woman.


    As the screen lit up, Ryan shifted his energy to the movie.


    In his previous life, he had heard of the movie''s name, but he had never watched it, because people who had watched the movie always told him that the film was beautiful, and then...there was no more.


    After watching it calmly for a while, Ryan couldn''t help sighing. If the propeller planes in the movie were replaced by horses, it would be a hodgepodge of sci-fi and cartoon elements.


    For example, the pilot played by the film¡¯s first actor, James Franco, escaped to France on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean with his back on his back and escaped to France, which also brought the free and loose style of cowboys to the uniform army. , Even he can ride... I''m sorry, but drove a fighter plane to go on a date with a French girl...


    Like a lone cowboy in a western movie, he calmly landed the plane on a battlefield that should have been plowed into a sieve by the artillery of both sides, and rescued his comrades who were trapped in the crash in the distance without any damage, making people feel like they are facing them. It was not the Germans armed with a large number of Maxim machine guns and heavy artillery, but Indians with throwing axes and bows in their hands.


    As for the last part where he killed the German pilot with a pistol at high altitude, although he borrowed from real events in history, it looked like a cowboy playing on horseback, except that his hip was replaced with a speed of 100 per hour. Miles of biplane fighter, and the classic laws of physics and mechanics will not have any effect on such a ruffian and scientifically blind cowboy.


    In fact, from a good point of view, the director and screenwriter of the film understand that this subject matter has natural flaws. If it is shot according to the real scene of World War I, it will be difficult to please those born after the 1980s.


    They tried their best to use the lines and behaviors of the new generations born in the 1980s to package the characters that belonged to their great-grandfathers in the film, but in the film, regardless of the protagonist, the protagonist, the protagonist and the contradiction, the characters and the related plot are either too old to fall. Ya, or it is ridiculous to the point of ridiculousness. Judging from the laughter from the audience in the back row from time to time, this is not like an aerial combat movie about courage and courage, but a pure comedy.


    Of course, movies are movies after all, not history. They are commercial entertainment movies after all. As long as the audience is willing to pay for it, these problems are not a problem.


    The question is, will the audience buy it?


    Perhaps the comments on the Internet are representative.


    "The lackluster plot, the completely mentally retarded screenwriter, the formulaic performance without surprises, and what''s more, such a **** war movie has entered the theater?"


    "A film that is totally unnecessary."


    "Except for the special effects shots of air combat, it is a totally boring French movie that makes people unable to watch it normally."


    "Whether it is a wartime adventure story or a love story, this film is not very good. Even the special effects set in the historical context are boring and lethargic, and it cannot save this too long and tedious film. ."


    "I think that battle back then must be more exciting than the movie."


    "Watching all the movies The real impression that can be left is neither the starring actors nor the planes and air combat inside, but the sturdy pet lion..."


    This is not the opinion of film critics, but the opinion of ordinary audiences. Except for a few female audiences who made idiotic remarks like "James Frank is so handsome" and "I am going for James Frank", the film suffered The unanimous bad reviews, and even the bad reviews lasted less than two days, because there were too few viewers to watch the film later.


    As for Larry Ellison''s first week of box office of 60 million US dollars, even if the whole number of 50 million is removed, there is no shadow of the box office number of the film "Air Combat Heroes" in the first week.


    The film opened in North America with 3,033 theaters. The box office number for the first three days was... 6 million U.S. dollars, and it quickly dropped to more than 2 million U.S. dollars in the second week.


    The disastrous loss of the North American box office directly led to the end of the film¡¯s ongoing overseas distribution negotiations. Even if Larry Ellison made a phone call in person, Paramount Pictures still refused to become an overseas distributor of the film.


    Perhaps David Ellison can only negotiate with one of the second and third-tier release labels. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 733： One-stop service for independent films

    David Ellison once came into contact with Walt Disney''s Bowei International, which is exclusively used for distribution, but was rejected by Bowei without hesitation. Because this film really can''t find any profit, if it is signed for overseas distribution The contract, the income that can be obtained, I am afraid that even the money for printing and copying will not be earned.


    The last news that Ryan got was that David Ellison had packaged and sold all the overseas copyrights of "Air Combat Heroes" to Summit Entertainment for US$4 million.


    The money lost in "Air Combat Heroes" is really nothing to the Ellison family, and it did not dampen David Ellison''s determination to continue investing in Hollywood, who was ridiculed by the Hollywood industry as "people are stupid and rich." The rich second generation of''Sky Dance'' soon established their own''Sky Dance'' film studio in North Hollywood, and, like those private equity film funds, wanted to invest in films prepared by major Hollywood studios.


    For example, he went to Disney and Marvel Studios several times, wanting to participate in the investment in the next "Thor" and "Iron Man 2".


    Regarding this point, Ryan only asked people to give one condition. If David Ellison''s investment only participates in the profit sharing of the box office, he can accept his funds.


    Under the Hollywood system and accounting rules, if the producer wants to make a film unprofitable on the books, it is not difficult. Even if it ends up in the Delaware Chancery Court, the probability of the producer losing is extremely low. .


    Besides, these super large productions with an investment of over 200 million U.S. dollars are too difficult to achieve profitability at the box office. The best case is how much David Ellison initially invested. After the film¡¯s box office is divided, the top Recover the cost more often.


    In this way, he is willing to advance the investment of the film for Disney. Ryan will definitely agree if he doesn''t participate in peripheral profit sharing.


    It''s a pity, although this man was mocked by Hollywood as "people are stupid and have a lot of money." In fact, I just don''t know Hollywood movies, so I''m not confused. Nor would his head be flooded to promise Ryan such outrageous conditions.


    Few people who can stand in high positions and receive elite education since childhood are real idiots, even Paris Hilton. After not appearing in movies very much, they use some help from the family and Disney to establish their own social circle. , Also created a chain brand belonging to her.


    It''s just that Ryan didn''t expect that when the pink fairy came to visit Sandy in the name of visiting Sandy. Actually acted as a referrer for other people.


    "Hi, Ryan, Nicole."


    This guy walked into the back garden, greeted Ryan and Nicole who were sitting at the oak round table, and walked to the stroller, "Hi, Sandy, do you know me? I''m Paris..."


    With that said, she took out a string of bracelets from her handbag and placed it on Sandy''s little hand who was looking at her with curious blue eyes.


    "Pali..."


    Ryan frowned. If you read it right, it should be a string of emerald bracelets.


    "Hey, Ryan." Paris turned her head. Said unceremoniously, "This is my gift to Sandy."


    "Okay." Nicole nodded to this side, "Parlie, let''s not take it as an example."


    After finishing speaking, she waved to the female nurse on the other side, "Take Sunny back to the room to sleep."


    Seeing the caregiver pushing her daughter towards the villa, Ryan raised an eyebrow at Paris Hilton, waited for the incongruous guy to sit next to Nicole, and looked at the female guest who came with her. .


    The other party is no stranger. He had seen him a few years ago, and he had dealt with her brother and father recently.


    "It''s been a long time. Megan." Ryan made a please gesture to the black tea Elsa put on the table. "I heard you dropped out of the USC Film Academy?"


    Although the opposite is a faint person who still overwhelms his father. But Megan Ellison has fully inherited the tradition of the Ellison family, "I just want to enter Hollywood early. I think my ability is enough to become a qualified investor and producer."


    Ryan nodded and said directly, "The various labels under Disney don''t lack funds."


    In addition to the gossip about her brother David Ellison recently, there is another news circulating in Hollywood about the Ellison family. It is said that Megan Ellison received Larry Ellison when he dropped out of the USC Film School. Ellison has a check for 200 million dollars.


    Of course, there is also news that it is 2 billion US dollars, but Ryan believes that the former may be possible, and the latter is completely gossip. Larry Ellison can become the world¡¯s top rich, and he will never do such things that are of no benefit. .


    "Let''s put it this way, Ryan." Megan Ellison obviously has some basic business qualities and doesn''t go around. Acquired the film adaptation rights of some works."


    "Oh?" Ryan picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. "What work?"


    Since the 1990s, Disney has bought the rights to adapt many comics and literary works. In addition to films and famous works that have been made into movies, there are some that he has never heard of before, if the other party is willing to buy it. , It is also a good choice to sell it to her at a higher price.


    It''s just that Megan Fox''s appetite is as big as her father''s.


    "The Hobbit, the Silmarillion, and the Twilight Saga: Twilight."


    Slowly put down the coffee cup, Ryan gently twisted his fingers, and his eyes quickly turned from Megan Ellison to Paris Hilton. This pink fairy was chatting with Nicole about fashion. The topic of "I am just a referrer, and the rest has nothing to do with me."


    "very sorry."


    With that said, Ryan didn''t mean to apologize, "The film adaptations of these three works are already in Disney''s plans."


    "Three works..." Megan Ellison is just a twenty-year-old girl, "50 million dollars!"


    Ryan shook his head slowly but firmly.


    "One hundred million dollars!"


    Hearing that the other party quoted the price for the second time, Ryan couldn''t help but frowned and said solemnly, "Miss Ellison, do you think I am short of money?"


    The atmosphere in the field instantly stagnated, and Ryan raised one hand to Elsa and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.


    Maybe he resembles Larry Ellison in personality, but after hearing what Ryan said, Megan Ellison calmed down a bit and stood up and said, "Sorry, Ryan, I like movies very much, so I was a little impulsive."


    "thank you for your treat."


    Before Elsa came over, the girl left as quickly as possible, and even Paris Hilton next to her did not greet her.


    "Pali..."


    Treating Paris Hilton, Ryan is not so polite, "Is this the new friend you made?"


    "Are you a friend?" Paris Hilton said carelessly, holding a coffee cup, "I met at parties and exchanged a few times. Except for the impulsive temperament, people are still good."


    "Oh, **** it!" She stood up suddenly and said goodbye to Ryan and Ryan, "Meghan came here in my car. I''m leaving now."


    This pink fairy has the same character as hers, coming fast and walking fast.


    "Hollywood is about to show up investors who brandish checks and spread money everywhere."


    Filling up coffee for herself and Ryan, Nicole picked up and took a sip, "100 million dollars for the film adaptation rights of three literary works..."


    She shook her head, "It''s really exciting."


    "But when they are adapted into a movie, the benefits they can bring are far more than 100 million U.S. dollars."


    After taking the sugar bowl and adding a piece of sugar to the coffee, Ryan said, "I have asked Peter Jackson to talk about the adaptation of The Hobbit, the "Twilight" studio established by Disney Pictures. It is also promoting novel sales. Three months ago, "Twilight: Twilight" was on the New York bestseller list, and the script is currently being written."


    "Wait for Christine to grow up?" Nicole understood some of Ryan''s plans.


    "It can''t be like this." Ryan took a sip of coffee, "still a tomboy."


    "Right." Nicole seemed to think of something. "I heard that Megan Ellison signed an agency investment agreement with Caa."


    "Actually, she chose the wrong investment direction."


    Seeing Nicole¡¯s slightly puzzled eyes, Ryan explained, ¡°Caa signed with Megan Ellison. She must have taken a fancy to the funds in her hands and wanted to use this to promote their one-stop packaged service, but Obviously, she found the wrong person, and she shouldn''t find the Big Six companies."


    Perhaps more than ten or twenty years ago, caa was still able to kidnap the six major film companies with packaged services, but since the mid-1990s, their package services have encountered many difficulties, and the six major companies are no longer the most popular films. Companies have been acquired one after another and become part of a media group, and the balance of power between the two parties has undergone a subversive change.


    The best example is that before the mid-1990s, caa¡¯s agents could break into the offices of the six major film companies, but by the end of the 1990s, let alone break into the high-level offices, even those who negotiated with them. has become some middle and low-level employees.


    After the new century, caa''s one-stop service targets have basically become pornographic movies.


    In the last few years of Ryan''s previous life, most media described caa''s packaged service this way-one-stop service for movies.


    The previous life Megan Ellison is an important member of this service. Compared with those commercial productions that can see the hope of profit, the ** film lacks investment, the previous life "The Hurt Locker" and "The Hunt*" And the Sunglasses King''s "The Grand Master", are undoubtedly Meghan Ellison''s investment beneficiaries.


    However, in this world...


    Thinking of this, Ryan lifted his chin. Now the mainstream society is gradually having a voice of reflection on the Iraq War, and it will definitely be stronger after two years. Although the box office of "The Hurt Locker" is a mess, it has always been connected to the Oscars of politics. I will definitely like such a movie then.


    As early as when writing "Black Swan", Ryan sent a team of screenwriters to interview those veterans who had returned from the Iraqi battlefield, especially the bomb disposal troopers. After they compiled the outline of the script, they had already filed it with the Screenwriters Association in advance. . (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 734： Far from being beautiful on the surface

    The adaptation of novels and comics can be said to be an important part of Hollywood movies. Excluding the "The Hobbit" and "Silmar¨ªa" that have been won long ago, including "Twilight: Twilight", Ryan became the mainstay of China. In the past few years after Disney, it has been keeping a close eye on the adaptation market, and through a series of methods and negotiations, it has obtained the film adaptation rights for many works.


    For example, the novel "How to Tame Your Dragon" published by Grace Cowell in 2003, such as the comics "King of Papillon" and "Assassin Alliance" by Top Niu Comics, and so on.


    Naturally, these works won by Disney will not be adapted into movies all at once. They must be launched one after another in a planned way. It is impossible for Disney to put all its billions of dollars in liquidity on the movies every year.


    Although the board of directors of Google and Blizzard Entertainment was pushed down one after another, and George was only allowed to participate on his behalf, at the end of September, Ryan appeared on time in Glendale, a small city north of Los Angeles. He came here to participate in DreamWorks. The board of the animation studio.


    As the largest shareholder of DreamWorks Animation Studio and the person who revitalizes DreamWorks Animation, Ryan has not been here too many times. Unless there are extremely important things, he usually only sends representatives to the board of directors.


    When Ryan appeared in the meeting room, whether it was a director or an executive director, the gaze looking at him was a bit complicated.


    Although Walt Disney¡¯s share of DreamWorks Animation has not exceeded 5%, and it has not officially announced its purchase of DreamWorks Animation Studios, everyone here is sensible, and Disney also holds more shares in private. People have been in contact, and in their opinion, DreamWorks Animation may become a subsidiary of Walt Disney at any time.


    Sitting at the conference table, Ryan did not speak from beginning to end. This is a routine board of directors, and the most discussed business and financial issues of DreamWorks Animation Studios.


    in fact. DreamWorks Animation Studio is far less beautiful than it seems on the surface. The net profit of the last quarter was only 10.65 million US dollars...


    The reasons for this are very complicated. The most critical point is that DreamWorks Animation Studio is just a private production company, without distribution capabilities, and without a complete derivative industry chain of peripheral products, and can only achieve extensive income.


    In addition, the animated feature films it produces are always good and bad. Perhaps those cartoons with a global box office of 200 million to 300 million US dollars are operated by Walt Disney or other large media groups, and may take advantage of the industry. Advantages recover costs and even generate some profit. But under the extensive operation of DreamWorks Animation, losses will occur.


    For example, last year, excluding those short films and a small number of animated series, DreamWorks Animation Studios had two animated films "Madagascar" and "Super Invincible Head Dog" released, but the studio''s profit last year was only 54 million U.S. dollars.


    Compared to DreamWorks Animation Studio''s worldwide reputation, its performance is not that outstanding.


    After the board of directors, Ryan did not leave, but went directly to Jeff Katzenberg''s office.


    "Sit down, Ryan."


    In the reception room of the suite. After the secretary delivered the coffee, Jeff Katzenberg and Ryan sat on two adjacent sofas, "I didn''t expect you to come here in person today."


    "Actually..." Ryan didn''t mean anything, "Jerry Buddha. I''m here mainly to talk to you."


    "Persuade me to lead DreamWorks Animation Studios to join Walt Disney?" Jeff Katzenberg knew Ryan''s purpose very well. "Ryan, I think you should remember. I was driven out by Disney."


    "No, no..." Ryan shook his finger at him, "The one who drove you away was Michael Eisner. He was once our common enemy, and I have driven him to Switzerland."


    Looking at Katzenberg, the short, thin, and serious CEO of DreamWorks Animation Studios is a sleek, dedicated and standard Hollywood Jewish businessman.


    "Animation is a pure imagination, animation is my true love." Ryan continued, "I still remember, this was when Tang Han and I met you for the first time, when you talked about "The Lion King" , You also said that making an animated feature film requires a lot of teamwork and sufficient financial support."


    "Jerifer, you have always wanted to make DreamWorks Animation Studios the second Disney Animation Department." Ryan is not so stupid to talk about friendship in business situations, "Don''t tell me you can''t see DreamWorks Animation Studios exist. The problem."


    "DreamWorks Animation does have a lot of problems." Jeff Katzenberg said slowly, "but I believe these can be solved."


    "Is this really the case?" Ryan didn''t mean to sneer, just telling the basic facts. "DreamWorks Animation Studios has been fighting on its own. It is just a pure content manufacturer, and most of its revenue sources come from For the movie box office itself, if it wants to have stable distribution and derivative sales channels like the Pixar studio acquired by Disney, DreamWorks Animation must seek external support."


    "Yes, DreamWorks Animation has high-quality content resources. I also believe that you will create more high-quality content resources in the future." Ryan emphasized, "But DreamWorks Animation also needs a larger company to ensure future development space. ."


    "DreamWorks Animation needs a strong channel provider, such as Disney, to use high-quality content resources to start the business of derivatives."


    Today, Ryan holds 35 percent of DreamWorks Animation¡¯s shares. David Geffen has long wanted to withdraw from the two DreamWorks. Spielberg needs funds to control DreamWorks Studios. Paul I. Lun also reached a tacit agreement privately, those small shareholders are not a problem at all, and the most difficult one is undoubtedly Jereford Katzenberg.


    Although even if the other party disagrees, Walt Disney can obtain a controlling stake, but as a last resort, no one wants to turn a good faith merger into a hostile takeover.


    "DreamWorks Animation can maintain the production of two to three animated feature films per year." Jeremy Katzenberg did not seem to listen to these words of Ryan. "We are more efficient than Pixar Studios and Disney Animation. too much."


    "Warner Bros.''s animated feature film "Happy Feet" is about to be released, and the Universal Animation Department will soon launch its own animated feature film." Ryan is not in a hurry, he has no magic power, how can it be in a few words Persuading a film company, "In the future, the competition will become more and more fierce. DreamWorks Animation must formulate a long-term strategy to help the company get out of the stagnation of relying solely on the box office."


    His words are not exaggerated at all. If DreamWorks Animation Studio continues to maintain its current operating model, its future earnings will not grow too much, and even a few years later, it will inevitably fall into a very embarrassing situation as in the previous life-the company''s own structure is relatively Single, just like the Pixar studio that has not been acquired by Disney in the previous life, the animation production itself has a long cycle and high cost, and the company will rely too much on the success or failure of a movie.


    Expanding more businesses to seek a better living environment and expand one''s size is what DreamWorks Animation needs to do.


    "Jerry Buddha..."


    Ryan knows very well that Katzenberg has a heart for Disney and can¡¯t wipe his face, but there are some things that are enough to make face and other things become a cloud. "Walt Disney will take out shares of the same value and exchange them for DreamWorks Animation in your hands. As for the studio¡¯s shares, I promise that you will still belong to DreamWorks Animation for the next five years, and except for some necessary financial and technical creative staff adjustments, DreamWorks Animation will maintain sufficient security like Pixar."


    This can be regarded as a very favorable condition. Disney''s stock price has been rising steadily, while the stock price of DreamWorks Animation Studios has basically stagnated in the past two years.


    "I know you have always wanted to extend the influence of DreamWorks Animation to the East." Ryan said without regard to Katzenberg next to him, "Disney will assist you in establishing the Oriental DreamWorks Animation Studio and indoor amusement projects. ; The animation series DreamWorks Animation wants to prepare can be co-operated with TV stations and Disney TV Children¡¯s Channel; you want to network the very tv under the banner, and a column will be reserved for you..."


    How can I impress a person?


    Having spent so many years in the vanity fair of Hollywood, Ryan naturally has some insights. While motivating each other with his interests, he must also satisfy some of his ambitions and ideals.


    What''s more, those ideas of Jeff Katzenberg are extremely beneficial to the development of DreamWorks Animation. If Disney swallows DreamWorks Animation Studios, it will definitely promote the projects Ryan said.


    "Ryan..."


    As a company¡¯s decision-maker, Katzenberg can¡¯t immediately give an answer, ¡°I need time to think about it Surely it won¡¯t let me wait too long, right?¡±


    At this point, Ryan stood up and prepared to say goodbye, "Is that right, Jeremy?"


    "I will give you a clear answer before the new year."


    Jeff Katzenberg stretched out his hand here, and Ryan shook it firmly, "Then I''ll wait for your good news."


    Leaning out of Katzenberg¡¯s office, Ryan sighed slightly. This result was also expected by him. After all, this is a transaction involving large sums of money, not a game of talk, unless Katzenberg is crazy. , Only when he was persuaded by him, he happily agreed.


    And Ryan also knows that Walt Disney is not only interested in DreamWorks Animation Studios. For example, the SoftBank Group from Japan has also contacted Jeff Katzenberg and wants to get a foot in it.


    However, Ryan is not very worried. The other party is only an outsider, and Hollywood has investment value, but after the integration of the 1990s and the beginning of this century, its system determines that there are not many opportunities for new entrants. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 735： Muscles, body and condition

    After entering the new century, foreign investors entering Hollywood will find that there are not many places where they can invest.


    The major Hollywood studios-Columbia, Universal Pictures, Paramount, Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, are mostly non-sale products, either too large or almost bought already-by Viacom , Time Warner and other media groups.


    In recent years, most of those acquired are content manufacturers, and these acquisitions are often carried out within Hollywood. Hollywood is the system of large production companies, and the distribution company is at the top of the food chain. Foreign investors arrived early.


    Now, like DreamWorks Animation Studios, there are not many companies that are good at producing high-quality content, and their derivatives and distribution capabilities need external supplements. Compared with external funds, it is more likely to be eaten by big Hollywood companies such as Walt Disney. .


    What Ryan has done is more to dispel Jeff Katzenberg¡¯s doubts in order to reduce the resistance encountered by Walt Disney¡¯s acquisition. This kind of acquisition involving more than one billion US dollars is far from his own. If it can be solved, it requires a long time operation of a team.


    The acquisition of DreamWorks Animation Studios will naturally be handled by a professional team. After talking with Jereford Katzenberg, Ryan took a plane to New York to visit Natalie who was preparing for "Black Swan" here. , He first went to the headquarters of Marvel Comics.


    Surprise has achieved amazing results in recent years. The "Iron Man" released in May now has a global box office of more than 700 million U.S. dollars. In addition to DVD video tapes and toy doll peripheral products, it has also greatly promoted related comics. Sales. In the last five months, Marvel Comics has sold more than 4 million copies of "Iron Man" comics around the world.


    I had a conversation with the surprised Avi Allard. After determining the next plan, Ryan stayed here until night fell, then left Fifth Avenue and rushed to the Lincoln Center for the Arts in the Upper West Side of Manhattan.


    At present, the two movies "Iron Man 2" and "Thor" of the first stage of the Marvel Universe Project have entered the final stage of preparation. Black Widow and Hawkeye, who only appeared as guest appearances before, have heavyweight roles in them. According to the surprising plan, after the shooting of Thor, the preparations for the Avengers will begin.


    As for the director of "The Avengers", the surprise side has narrowed the scope to a limited number of people, such as Jos Weeden and Sam Remy. If we proceed according to normal conditions, Jos Weeden will get the guide tube. The greatest opportunity.


    The one who made a quick decision to influence the surprise was undoubtedly that Jos Weiden¡¯s upper film "Firefly" had a terrible box office. They were also a little worried about the other side''s whim and made "Avengers" a western cowboy with almost no market A hodgepodge of space science fiction.


    Ryan¡¯s destination is the Metropolitan Opera at the Lincoln Center for the Arts, which is the residence of the American Ballet, because Disney often performs children¡¯s musicals here, and has a close relationship with this side. He would say hello early, as long as there is For ballet performances, Natalie can bring art directors and other crew members into the backstage to watch the daily work of those ballet dancers.


    The performance tonight is the classic ballet "Swan Lake", probably because Ryan came to visit the class from Los Angeles. Natalie did not go backstage, but booked VIP tickets early. When she saw Ryan, she would He dragged him into the enclosed independent VIP box on the second floor.


    Just after entering the box, Ryan pulled Natalie over, and after a long wet kiss, he gently squeezed her right hand on her chest twice, "Honey, you seem to have lost a lot."


    Natalie glared here first, then grabbed the hand that was still rubbing her chest, pinched it hard, and threw it underneath, "Do you want us to make headlines?"


    The box is located on the second floor. Looking down, you can see the flashing lights that are constantly lit. Even if there are no reporters in it, if they are captured by ordinary people, the two of them may soon follow the trend of online sharing. Become an entertainment headline.


    After tidying up the clothes messed up by him, Natalie sat next to Ryan, feeling that her hand fell on her thigh again, she couldn''t help but roll her eyes.


    "Nat..." Ryan kneaded a few times on her thighs and calves, then grabbed Natalie''s arm, her slender wrist had already shown protruding joints, she couldn''t help but frown. , "How much weight did you lose."


    "About twenty pounds." Natalie didn''t care much.


    "I remember you were only 110 pounds before."


    Gently holding Natalie''s thin wrist, Ryan felt a little distressed, "Don''t reduce it anymore."


    "Well, I focus on control now." Natalie moved a little closer, her head tilted on Ryan''s shoulder, "Keep an energy intake of 1,200 calories every day, and a weight of 90 pounds is necessary for the performance during shooting. The plot of the ballet helps a lot."


    "Where is Nascar?"


    The little fat girl is shorter than Natalie, but heavier, "How much did she lose."


    "She has lost 100 pounds."


    Mentioned Scarlett, Natalie couldn''t help but laughed, "But it still looks fleshy, but the scenes that require her to perform ballet are not as many as my role, and some other means can be used as a support."


    The two chatted a few words about the preparations for "Black Swan". The stage in front slowly opened the curtain. "Swan Lake", which was performed countless times, was once again staged at the Metropolitan Opera. Ryan took a serious look at it. Yes, I couldn''t help but turn back to Natalie. Unlike his performance where it was difficult to concentrate, Natalie seemed to be completely immersed in the play.


    Besides, she also has a notebook in her hand, and she keeps notes from time to time.


    When Ryan''s eyes returned to the stage, Natalie''s brown eyes suddenly floated past him and quickly retracted.


    Natalie knows that with Ryan¡¯s status in Hollywood today, as long as she performs above the level in the role of Nina, she is very likely to get the best actress, but she does not want to become herself Gwyneth Paltrow like a queen in the mouth of the media, she has to use all her strength, at least to make most people unable to say anything sour.


    Therefore, since coming to New York, she not only spends five hours a day practicing ballet, she also actively cooperates with sculptors for body training, swimming and temperament training, so that her muscles, body and condition can be adjusted to the level of professional ballet dancers as much as possible. , And these futures will continue for three to four months.


    "Nat..."


    When she looked at Natalie again, Ryan found that she was wandering, "What do you think?"


    "Ah~"


    Natalie turned her head and smiled, "Something about the preparation of the movie."


    "When will the shooting start?" Ryan still remembered that he was going to play the most important male role, "November? Or December?"


    "I want to push it to the beginning of next year." Natalie said seriously, "I want to prepare more. If the budget is not enough, I can give up the director and actor''s salary."


    Longer preparation period often means spending more money.


    "Is it necessary for me to give up my salary?" Ryan said deliberately, and Natalie couldn''t help but grinned, "Well, anyway, you are the boss, it''s up to you to decide."


    "The movie needs to re-choreograph "Swan Lake" and establish a tacit understanding with the actors of the New York Ballet Company who participated in the filming." Natalie simply closed her notebook and watched the black swan dancing on the stage with Ryan. Chat in a low voice, "Look for a ballet stand-in similar to me, Scarlett and Gale."


    She went on to explain, "The practice time of less than half a year is too short for ballet. For some difficult movements, especially the foot movements, you must use a substitute."


    "I would have changed to another movie." Ryan couldn''t help but have the urge to cover his forehead. This kind of professional dance film is really troublesome, "You will have a lot of hardship to shoot like this."


    "This is my voluntary." Natalie instead comforted Ryan, "How can there be victory without giving."


    "Hey, Nat." Ryan couldn''t help laughing. "When did you take a peek at the script of "Transformers"?"


    "The time you were preparing to dub Natalie knew that Ryan did not shy away from this, "The script is on my side all day, I will take it and read it, I have to say..."


    "Please speak frankly." Ryan made a please gesture.


    "Just look at the story." Natalie said directly, "The script is terrible."


    There was a soft knock on the door outside the closed box, and John walked in. "There is a lady outside who claims to be Miss Portman''s friend."


    "Ah, it should be Emily."


    Hearing Natalie''s words, Ryan nodded slightly to John. Not long after he walked out, a woman slightly older than Natalie entered the box.


    "Ryan, this is Emily."


    Natalie made a brief introduction, ¡°My roommate when I was at Harvard, she worked for the New York Ballet Company, and preparing the film this time helped us a lot.¡±


    "Thank you!"


    Although the impression is extremely weak, Ryan vaguely remembers Natalie, the roommate who had published poetry collections, "Miss Emily, thank you for your help."


    "Just call me Emily."


    After saying hello, she sat next to Natalie, "At Harvard, Nat was my best friend."


    "The choreography of the film and my ballet instructor were all introduced by Emily." Natalie reminded Ryan, "It''s the chief dancer of the New York Ballet that I mentioned. I remember you met."


    "Me?" Ryan frowned and thought for a while, no impression at all.


    "Remember when I starred in "Seagull" on Broadway?" Natalie concealed his hand, "Once you came to see me backstage, you just met him." R1152

 Chapter 736： The most powerful woman in New York

    After breakfast, Ryan finished processing the latest work emails, left the Waldorf Astoria, and went to the Lincoln Center again, but this time the goal was not the Metropolitan Opera, but the residence of the New York Ballet¡ªNew York City theater.


    The crew of "Black Swan" signed a cooperation agreement with the New York Ballet Company. The other party will not only assist the crew in choreography and filming, but also provide venues for the crew to train.


    Ryan was unlucky, and just turned 8th Avenue, he was blocked in Manhattan, and did not arrive at the New York City Theater until nearly noon.


    Since it was the first time here, Ryan asked a few words. Under the leadership of a staff member, he walked into the backstage of the theater from the back door and circled the long corridor half a circle before he found the " The practice room of the crew of "Black Swan".


    Entering the practice room lightly, the most noticeable thing is not the people who are training, but the huge mirror hanging on the wall. Ryan did not directly look at the girls in training, but through the mirror. Looking enthusiastically at Natalie who was putting on tight dance clothes.


    It¡¯s not just Natalie who is practicing, but Gail Gado and Scarlett Johansson who didn¡¯t see yesterday are also among them. They have only started training for more than a month, and it is impossible to make too complicated movements. Led by a tall and thin dancer, practice some basic skills.


    "Stand with one foot, clamp the inner side of the legs, lift the kneecap, and tighten the gluteus maximus, so that the muscles on the outer sides of the hips are slightly recessed.


    The dancer, who seemed to be familiar, was demonstrating and talking about the essentials of the action.


    "Keep your body''s center of gravity absolutely vertical, support your weight on both feet equally, and hold the ten toes tightly on the ground..."


    "That''s it!"


    He didn''t seem to see Ryan coming in, and he didn''t mean to interrupt the training. "Relax your shoulders and squeeze them back and down. Your waist is upright, but you must prevent it from collapsing."


    Going to the corner, Ryan sat on the bench. I watched with great interest the ballet training that I had never seen on the scene before.


    Among several actresses, Natalie is the most natural. Although he has been out of ballet for many years, he still has some foundation; Gail Gado has long legs and light body, and he is still a model, and those basic movements seem to be similar; Scarlett has lost a lot of weight compared to the last time I saw him. Although it still looks fleshy, but also trying to keep up with the rhythm of training.


    "Keep your head naturally straight, breathe evenly and deep, and look straight ahead. Don''t stretch your neck probe forward, and don''t shrink your chin..."


    Hearing the voice coming from over there, Ryan couldn¡¯t help but lift his chin. Thinking of Natalie¡¯s reminder last night, she gradually had some memories. It seemed that when Natal appeared in "The Seagull" on Broadway, she had indeed seen the tall and thin one. Ballet dancer, remember that he was still in Natalie''s dressing room backstage, he was holding a bunch of flowers...


    It turned out to be Nat''s suitor back then...


    Thinking of this, Ryan suddenly found out. The face of the other party that has become obviously mature brings not only the vague memories of previous years, but also another sense of familiarity.


    His brows frowned. It shouldn''t be so coincidental, right?


    The applause of "Papa" rang, and then the voice again, "This is the end of the morning''s basic skills practice."


    Standing in the corner, Ryan didn''t move, until Natalie walked over and gave up the memory she was looking for.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    Gal Gado beckoned, Ryan nodded at her with a smile, and his eyes fell on the man who followed.


    "Ryan..."


    Natalie also noticed that the other person was following. Hastily introduced, "This is Benjamin Milleppy. The choreographer and principal dancer of the New York Ballet."


    "Hello." Ryan squinted and stretched out his hand. "I think we have met."


    "Yes." The other party shook his hand. "A few years ago, at the backstage of the Broadway Theater."


    With a polite and polite smile, Ryan''s eyes turned back to Natalie, "Go change clothes, let''s go to lunch together."


    Then he looked at the other two people, "Scarlett, Gail, let''s go together."


    "Okay."


    The two girls, one tall and one short, nodded one after another. Gail Gado seemed to want to say something, but was pulled by Scarlett Johansson, "It¡¯s getting late, let¡¯s hurry up. Ryan, you are outside the dressing room." Can you wait for us?"


    "of course."


    Following Natalie and Gal Gado, who were being pulled by Scarlett, Ryan walked out of the dance studio, turned the corner of the corridor, and entered a dressing room. He randomly found a chair near the wooden wall and sat down. The three girls waiting to enter the dressing room at the back change their clothes.


    In the dressing room, Gail Gado put down his dance clothes, buttoned his bust and asked puzzledly, "Scar, why did you pull me just now? I just wanted to ask Benjamin out of politeness... "


    "Didn''t you find out?" Scarlett put on her shirt and curled her lips. "Ryan doesn''t like the coach, and even has hostility towards him."


    "Is there?" Gail Gado asked curiously, "Why didn''t I feel it?"


    "I have known Ryan for more than ten years." Scarlett looked at Natalie, "Some of his subconscious habits may not be understood by others, but they can''t hide from those of us who grew up together, and he is also in front of us. Don''t hide your thoughts too much."


    "Is that so, Nat?" Gal Gadoo also looked at Natalie.


    "Scarlett is right." Natalie buttoned her shirt, "Ryan gave me the same feeling as Scarlett."


    "Why is this? They don''t seem to be familiar with it?" Scarlett squeezed her thin face in the mirror, and suddenly said, "Ryan said that he had met Benjamin before, is it related to that meeting? ?"


    "I think..." Natalie said after hesitating for a while, "It should be so."


    "They won''t be rivals in love?"


    When Gail Gado was joking, Natalie couldn''t help shrugging, "When I starred in "Seagull", Benjamin once pursued me. Once Ryan came backstage to find me, and happened to meet him to send flowers. "


    "Wow, this is wonderful." Scarlett and Gail Gadoo looked at each other and laughed at the same time, "We have a good show."


    "You..." Natalie shook her head at these two guys who were afraid of the world. "Abandon those boring thoughts. Do you think Ryan will take a person who was rejected by me a long time ago?"


    "Let me think about it." Scarlett didn''t listen to Natalie at all. Still whispering to Gail Gado, "The way Ryan treats the enemy, he will ruin the opponent first. Then he becomes a pauper, and then puts it in a concrete pillar. Throw it under the Hudson River mouth."


    "Scarlett." Ryan''s voice suddenly sounded, "Am I so bored? Or did you have been taught by Alison? Need I suggest to Ms. Sloan to invite you a British etiquette teacher? ?"


    "Hey, hello, hello..." Scarlett said dissatisfiedly across the wooden wall, "How can you do this? How can you eavesdrop on whispers among women!"


    "Sorry." Ryan reached back and flicked on the wooden wall. "The sound insulation is too poor. I think you ignore that this is not the locker room at home."


    Inside the wooden wall, there was a knocking sound of ¡®dong dong dong¡¯, and then Scarlett complained, ¡°Damn it, the wall of the dressing room is just a layer of composite board.¡±


    "Okay, Scarlett."


    It was Natalie''s voice, "Ryan won''t mind."


    "Of course not." Ryan shook his head and smiled. "So, Scarlett pays for lunch."


    The Lincoln Center for the Arts was already in Manhattan. Four people took a car and went directly to the Jean Georges restaurant on Fifth Avenue. This Michelin three-star restaurant is known for its luxury. It is known as the best French restaurant and fashionable landmark in New York, and you want to dine in it. It is often necessary to book a long time in advance.


    But for some special customers, these are not problems.


    A long time ago, Scarlett said to Ryan-to prove the identity of a New York man, it is to see whether he needs an appointment to go to the Jean Georges restaurant.


    This is of course a joke, but after the four of Ryan entered the restaurant, the woman who claimed to be the most powerful woman in New York-the leader in the restaurant who decided not to give a seat-did not say much, and immediately followed Ryan''s request brought the four of them to a table near the window.


    In order to control the energy intake, except for Ryan ordered foie gras and French steak. The other three just ordered a few delicate snacks.


    "Ryan..."


    After a few appetizers looked at the steak delivered to Ryan. Scarlett gritted her teeth and said, "You are tempting us to make mistakes."


    "Scarlett. Nat said you succeeded in losing 100 pounds." Ryan deliberately ran her on, "but why do you still look like 120 pounds?"


    "Is there?" These words seemed to be squeezed out of the teeth.


    "Pay attention to your dining etiquette." Ryan pointed to her swinging fork, "Scar!"


    "Nate!" Scarlett couldn''t help turning to Natalie who was watching the excitement, "Can you take care of your boyfriend?"


    As soon as she finished speaking, she laughed herself first, and the three of Ryan also laughed in low voices.


    The dining speed of four people is not fast, and occasionally talks about topics of interest, but also a small discussion. The topics changed from fashion, movies, and gossip, and finally fell on politics.


    Of course, most people in the Hollywood circle are definitely talking about politics related to Hollywood.


    "I heard that the new round of six-party talks broke down."


    Past and present, the little fat girl is one of Hollywood stars who actively participate in politics, "Iran must continue to promote nuclear tests."


    "Hmm..." Natalie answered, "The Film Association also cancelled the delegation to visit Iran."


    "But I heard that Ahmadinejad will come to North America next year." Ryan looked at his watch and stood up first. "Iran is not Iraq, and war will not break out easily."


    Scarlett and Gal Gado are in front, Ryan and Natalie are behind, and they walked out of the restaurant.


    When she walked to the front desk, Natalie suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I can change the choreography."


    "No need." Ryan shook her hand gently. "It''s just a ballet choreographer that you rejected." (To be continued) R655

 Chapter 737： Im really afraid of the same teammates in South Korea

    The moment he recognized the other party, Ryan remembered the memory of the previous Oscars ceremony that was almost forgotten. However, sitting in the dressing room and hearing Scarlett''s ridicule, he temporarily put all this behind his head. The other party is now He was just the chief dancer of the ballet company, for him, it was just a small and insignificant role.


    The most important thing is that Natalie, who has been influenced by him since childhood, is no longer the Natalie in her previous life.


    After lunch, the three of Natalie returned to the Lincoln Center for the Arts. Relatively speaking, the preparation of "Black Swan" was not too cumbersome. The reason why the preparation period was so long was because of Natalie, Scarlett and Guy. The three leading actors of El Gado must master some basic ballet skills.


    If the film wants to make a difference at the Oscars, especially the performance awards, it is impossible to use dance substitutes throughout.


    Ryan did not go to the Lincoln Center for the Arts. He couldn''t stay in New York for too long. After calling a car to send Natalie away, he went straight to Scott''s office on Wall Street.


    "Hello, Ryan."


    Entering Scott''s reception room, Taylor''s younger brother was the first to greet him. Perhaps he inherited the genes of the Swift family. Austin Swift was almost as tall as Ryan at the age of fifteen.


    "Hello, Austin." Ryan patted him on the shoulder and sat on the solo sofa. "There are no classes in school today?"


    "School Anniversary Holiday."


    This guy took the initiative to bring coffee, "Dad asked me to come here to help."


    "Austin is learning some financial investment knowledge from me."


    The door of the reception room was pushed open from the outside. Scott Swift walked in and sat on the sofa next to Ryan. "Since the first half of the year, he has tried a few small investments, but finally there was none. pay."


    "That''s great." Ryan said to Scott with a smile, "Our foundation has a successor."


    "Austin, go to your work."


    After Austin Swift leaves the reception room. Scott moved directly to the topic, "The real estate under the name of Nicole and the foundation, except for the few reserved by her name, have all been transferred and sold. The real estate and banking stocks we hold are basically sold out. "


    "Prepare one billion dollars in capital." Ryan lightly touched the armrest of the sofa, "Disney will soon carry out a new round of equity expansion financing."


    "Have you negotiated with DreamWorks Animation Studio?" Scott asked curiously.


    "It will be the end of the year or the beginning of next year." Ryan thought for a while, "how are you talking with Disney?"


    "all the best."


    Ryan still has 35 percent of DreamWorks Animation Studios in his hands, and Disney will also complete the transaction in exchange for stocks.


    "The remaining funds will be transferred to China." Ryan emphasized, "Especially the companies I mentioned. In recent years, large-scale financing will definitely be launched. Without touching the psychological bottom line of the opposite government, Take as many shares as possible."


    "I know what to do."


    Regarding Scott''s words, Ryan was very relieved, but he added, "Scott, remember one thing, we are seeking wealth, not erecting enemies."


    "We are in the opposite branch. We have hired a lot of professional public relations talents."


    As for what kind of public relations talent, even if Scott didn''t say it clearly, Ryan can figure it out, nothing more than a similar approach to Goldman Sachs.


    "Also. Ryan." Scott seemed to think of other things. "The Anschutz Film Group contacted a sports foundation under ours and wanted to transfer some of the shares of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Galaxy. "


    "Anschutz Film Group?" Ryan thought for a while before remembering some information about this company. "Is the parent company of Bristol Bay Studios right? I remember they were going to host some of Alison''s concert tour next year."


    "It''s them." Scott said in detail. "They have suitable venues in many cities, and they are all holy places for concerts. Since last year, they have been in conflict with the distributor Universal Pictures, which has a direct impact. When it comes to the rate of return of funds for investment films, their liquidity is now very tight."


    "That''s it." Ryan picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. "For the Los Angeles Lakers, we can''t get a controlling stake. I have no interest in NBA. I told Anschutz Film Group that we can accept it. Los Angeles Galaxy, but they want all of their shares."


    "And..." Putting down the coffee cup, Ryan said again, "I remember the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Los Angeles Galaxy belong to the same group?"


    Seeing Scott''s head, he continued, "Ask if they plan to sell the Los Angeles Dodgers."


    Having said this, Ryan sighed, "Unfortunately, there is no top American football team in the greater Los Angeles area. I really want to acquire an NFL team and play in the Super Bowl."


    "Ryan, I suggest you give up the Los Angeles Dodgers." Scott said directly, "The outside world valued it at $2 billion. I think this would be a very unprofitable deal."


    "What is the approximate value of the Los Angeles Lakers?" Ryan asked.


    "It is estimated to be between 1 billion and 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, and at most it will not exceed 1.3 billion U.S. dollars."


    Hearing Scott''s words, Ryan immediately waved his hand, "Forget the Los Angeles Dodgers, what I want most is an American football team."


    "What about the Los Angeles Galaxy?"


    "Ask about the price."


    Suddenly, Ryan remembered that there was another team in faraway Manchester that he had almost forgotten about. "If the price is too high, just give up."


    Now he can''t disperse too much energy on football. If he can win, he can run some European football stars to join the Los Angeles Galaxy. If he can''t get it, it doesn''t matter.


    What Ryan did not expect was that after returning to Los Angeles, Anschutz Film Group had other business contacts with him.


    Because of the sharp contradiction between the Anschutz Film Group and Universal Pictures, the subordinate Bristol Bay Production Company and Universal Pictures had to end their cooperation after the expiration of the distribution contract.


    So Bristol Bay Studios turned to Walt Disney''s distribution brand Bowei International, and the two parties signed a distribution contract for the next 16 films. Bowei International expects to receive 3 to 8 million US dollars from it.


    This has something to do with the type of film that Bristol Bay Studios invests in. They are not Hollywood first- or second-tier production companies. Naturally, these small producers will not invest in large-scale productions. They have their own rules of survival.


    The films they make are typical small-production B-level films, with an investment ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and more than five works are released every year, as long as one of them can be popular in the theater or DVD video tape market. Not only can the investment be recovered, it is often profitable.


    Naturally, the quality of these films doesn¡¯t need to be mentioned. Ryan hasn¡¯t even heard of the names of most of the films produced by Bristol Bay Studios. The commercial films produced are either small productions that stand out in some respects.


    Hollywood produces hundreds of films a year, and he can see only dozens of them in his previous life.


    Most of the time, Ryan focuses on large-scale businesses, but for a media company like the Walt Disney Group, in addition to those large investments, there must also be a large number of small businesses. Perhaps the individual profit figures of these businesses are not High, but still considerable in total.


    For example, Jenkins Pictures has gradually become a Disney company specializing in the production and distribution of low-cost films in recent years. Although its revenue is far from comparable to the past, its profit margins are still considerable, especially Darren, who later joined the company. The three Bosmans will release their own horror films every other year, taking away tens of millions of dollars in the box office from the North American market, and the investment in these films is often controlled below 20 million dollars.


    Especially the "Chain Saw 4" released in September this year, even if it still can''t get rid of the natural shortcomings of most horror movie theaters, it has reached the highest peak of this series so far. When it was downgraded from North America, I got it. The North American box office of more than 87 million US dollars, for a typical niche film, this is already a very good result.


    Compared to Chen Jiazheng and other graduates of the same period, they are considered lucky. After all, there are not many people who can pick up a film guide before the age of thirty.


    Also in October, the''Autobots'' studio negotiated with South Korea about the premiere of "Transformers". The world premiere of the film will be held at Seoul Tower, and South Korea will not only pay 5 million U.S. dollars. Sponsorship and pay for all the itinerary of the crew, and also funded by **, the multimedia sightseeing hall of the Seoul Tower will be transformed into a qualified imax theater.


    In fact, This time South Korea is facing not only a strong opponent like Disney, but also aggressive diplomatic pressure from its northern neighbors.


    In the second two-and-a-half-minute global trailer released by "Transformers", there is a line that clearly designates North Korea as a terrorist and a terrorist country. I heard that the premiere of the film may be held in Seoul, north Those fat guys naturally issued a vague but tough threat.


    Faced with whoever provokes me, I will beat up your northern neighbor. Although the southern sticks were worried, they finally managed to withstand the pressure and reached a premiere agreement with Disney.


    Ryan didn¡¯t care when he heard about it. Although Erfaan was more difficult to deal with than Iranians, he would not be stupid enough to engage in such entertainment and cultural events. At most, he would be protesting. On the contrary, he was a little worried in his evil thoughts. That group of sticks, if "Transformers" is a big hit in South Korea, the other party might preach that Optimus Prime is actually a South Korean, so wouldn''t Disney accompany them to embarrass the world?


    In other words, he is not afraid of opponents like North Korea, he is really afraid of teammates like South Korea.


    But what I didn''t expect was that after Disney and South Korea jointly held a press conference, the Japanese were the first to jump out. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 738： 2 dogs fighting

    In the Far East, the two small countries facing each other across the sea are definitely enemies in all respects due to many factors such as history. Even if the two have a common master, the quarrel between them has never ended.


    After Disney''s press conference with South Korea, the Asahi Shimbun published a questioning article.


    "It¡¯s strange that the premiere of "Transformers" will be held in the capital of South Korea, instead of Tokyo, which has far better conditions than Seoul. After all, in a strict sense, "Transformers" first originated in Japan and later Japan has reached the heyday of the animation period, and Tokyo has a better film culture atmosphere, which is absolutely unmatched by Seoul..."


    The whole article is full of Japanese-style arrogance, which obscurely renders their long-time enemy South Korean Bian worthless.


    Such an obviously ridiculous article in recent years is definitely unacceptable to South Korea, which has been full of confidence in recent years. Their response was extremely fast. On the second day of the "Asahi Shimbun" article appeared, it was on several large forums in South Korea and North America. At the same time, it launched a public opinion survey titled "What are the areas where South Korea is better than Japan?"


    This online survey triggered responses from many South Koreans, and the answers were even more varied.


    "Music, TV dramas, movies, and other entertainment businesses are much stronger than Japan, and the popular culture represented by the''Korean Wave'' is unmatched by other Asian countries."


    "If you really want to say that there is something better than Japan, it is a movie about love. Japanese movies are no longer good. There are also shipbuilding and electronics fields that are better than Japan."


    "Korean is better than Japanese, and Japanese is a language that has been influenced a lot by Korean."


    "Is there anything better than Korea in Japan?"


    Compared with the voices in South Korea, the people on North American forums are a little calmer, and there are also a few people who claim that South Korea has many advantages over Japan in terms of numbers, but in fact there are almost no mobile phones and TV sets. The parts of many products are imported from Japan, and the machinery used in the factory is almost all made in Japan or Germany.


    Behind these slightly sensible voices. Almost all verbal abuses from South Koreans were accompanied, such as "Han traitor", "traitor", "no sense of honor" and so on.


    Similarly, the remarks made by the South Koreans were quickly refuted by the Japanese. Perhaps it is more difficult for them to enter the South Korean network, but there are also many Japanese who study abroad and live in North America.


    "Comparing South Korea with Japan is a stupid thing in itself."


    "Love movies, online games... Is this the answer for elementary school students?"


    "South Korea''s entertainment, electronics and other fields are formed by''grafting'' Japanese culture and technology."


    "We admit that Japanese is influenced by Chinese, but it is said that it comes from Korean. This is too thick-skinned."


    Many Japanese are also ironic-South Korea does have something better than Japan, paranoia, self-centeredness, and unfounded self-confidence! If you can¡¯t win, put the blame on others...


    There is no tendency for this public opinion war to go out quickly. With the help of a more free network, the two sides continue to show the lower limit of each other''s IQ in front of the world.


    Especially South Korea, they will be full of confidence and superiority at any moment.


    "Take football as an example. The Japanese team will never become the leader of the East Asian region because the South Korean team has such a special presence."


    "Running, speed, efficiency, technology, unity, these are the areas where Korean football is far stronger than Japanese football."


    "In the 2002 World Cup, the South Korean team was third. If it weren''t for the referee''s unfair judgment, the South Korean team could definitely enter the final. Even lift the Hercules Cup! What about the Japanese team, what was their 2002 World Cup result? Poor ten Top six..."


    South Koreans talk about football, and the Japanese refute in this regard.


    "Japanese football is not good?! The so-called "World Cup myth" of South Korea is all based on the help of referees. Really South Korea is the center of the entire football and the entire universe? What makes Brazil and Germany so in love?"


    "On the stadium. South Korea''s ability to win by relying on various''off-field forces'' is indeed unsurpassable for Japan and even all countries in the world. How did Italy and Spain lose in the 2002 World Cup. Who doesn''t know in the world? "


    "Wake up, South Koreans, do you know? The U.S. network even gave birth to a new coinage"-specifically refers to the opposition to South Korean-style improper punishments. South Korea that really has to be''admired'' is embarrassing Throw out of Asia."


    "South Korea is Pinocchio that can never evolve. It is self-centered and has no connotation of pride. If you tell a lie a hundred times, you will be convinced. Ignoring the reality, the whole world does sigh."


    This fight spread from the Far East to North America, and then back from North America back to the Far East. The biting of the two sides was simply a joy, and they did not even vomit the hair that entered their mouths.


    South Korea and Japan are annoyingly arguing on North American networks, and some Americans can''t help but express their opinions.


    "South Korea does have something better than Japan. I have been to Seoul and Tokyo. South Korea''s plastic surgery technology is much better than Japan. Artificial beauties can be seen everywhere..."


    "It is true. I heard that South Korean beauties are artificially made. If I face these cosmetic beauties every day, I will have nightmares if I cannot sleep well at night.


    Seeing people''s support, the Japanese even jumped up and down.


    "South Korean women all seem to have the same face, and when they get older, these fake noses and fake mouths will collapse like monsters."


    "South Koreans¡¯''vusualism'' has reached the point where it is hopeless. I really admire the thick skins of South Koreans."


    There are also Japanese people who have posted photos of South Korean national idols¡ªif such women are standard ¡®South Korean beauties¡¯, these women with big noses, small eyes and big pancake faces are everywhere on the streets of Seoul.


    Even the Japanese ironically regard these artificial beauties as goddesses, and only South Koreans on earth can do it. This is an insult to human aesthetics.


    Doing too much of anything will cause aesthetic fatigue. South Koreans and Japanese are making noise on the North American network, and many Americans can''t help but begin to criticize.


    "Just two small countries, it''s really idle."


    "I don''t understand what the Japanese do with South Korean women, even if there are more South Korean beauties than Japan? They are all artificial."


    "South Korea is hypocritical, and the Japanese are bullying and fearing hard work. The two countries will only obediently surrender in the face of the mighty America."


    Withdraw from the Yahoo Forum, which is one of the main battlefields in Japan and South Korea. Ryan closed the laptop and stretched a long waist, and Nicole, who was coaxing Sandy to sleep on the other side of the sofa, couldn''t help but look over.


    "Is it funny?" Nicole asked while shaking the cradle lightly, "What happened?"


    "Two dogs are fighting." Ryan walked over, sat next to Nicole and said softly, "Two dogs, you bite me, I bite you, the other''s mouth is full of dirty hair."


    "Japan and South Korea?" Nicole could roughly guess what Ryan was talking about. "Two boring little countries."


    "Isn''t it?" Ryan shrugged playfully. "It''s up to them to quarrel, and it''s best if they can quarrel to start a war."


    "There is North Korea..." Nicole began to care about politics after "Argo", "They definitely can''t fight."


    "That''s right," she said again, "North Korea is still protesting our trailer. Will it affect the premiere?"


    "It doesn''t matter, anyway, our products cannot enter the North Korean market through legitimate channels."


    Protest or something, just publish it. When did Hollywood care? "The film also needs several human villains, aren''t they the most suitable?"


    The film will be released in China at the same time. Disney will not foolishly add some lines that are unfavorable to itself. Anyway, North Korea has more gangsters than Iran. It doesn''t matter more.


    A few days ago, the North Korean government also issued a formal protest to Disney, believing that in the trailer, Disney described North Korea as a country prone to terrorism, and put the film¡¯s world premiere at the Seoul Tower. Obviously it has a different purpose.


    Having said that, Disney really has no other intentions, just because the sponsorship price given by South Korea is higher. Disney also needs to develop the Far East market.


    If North Korea is willing to spend more than US$10 million in sponsorship, Ryan will immediately ask Michael Bay to modify his lines. Even if the premiere of the film is held at the Yanggakdo Hotel, it is not something that cannot be discussed.


    Nicole beckoned to call the caregiver, sent the sleeping Sandy into the room, picked up Ryan, went out of the back door of the villa, and walked towards the garden.


    "I heard that you are ready to resume work."


    Walking into the garden path, Ryan reached out and pulled a leaf of a hydrangea, "Is there a suitable script?"


    "A few days ago, I talked with director Baz Luhmann." Nicole stepped over the leaves that Ryan randomly threw on the road. "He wants me to invest in and star in his new movie."


    "Can you know the name?" Ryan asked with a frown.


    "A story similar to "Gone with the Wind"." Nicole said as he walked. "It will probably be called "Australia" in the end."


    Ryan turned his head and looked into the distance. He had seen all the movies starring Nicole in his previous life. Naturally, he knew that the production cost of this film was 130 million US dollars, but only recovered more than 40 million US dollars at the box office.


    "Do you have any different opinions?" Nicole knows Ryan very well The last time I cooperated with Baz Luchmann on "Moulin Rouge" was quite pleasant. "


    "I haven''t read the script, and I can''t judge." Ryan said while recalling the situation of another movie, as if the original was published this year, "Nicole, some time ago, someone recommended me a documentary theme. Fiction, I think it is very worthy of adaptation."


    "first name?"


    Nicole knows that Ryan can tell a valuable novel, she must not be wrong, "Couldn''t it have been bought by Disney?"


    "Of course not." Ryan lightly tapped his forehead, ""Weakness: Progress of the Game", it should be called this name."


    "I''ll let someone go and check it." Nicole repeated her name, remembering it in her heart.


    "Also, Nicole." Ryan hesitated and said, "It''s better not to release the film next year."


    Hearing Ryan''s words, Nicole turned her head, looked at him quietly for a while, and finally said nothing. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 739： Realistic version of Infernal Affairs

    Just in October, another remarkable thing happened in Hollywood. Martin Scorsese launched the latest masterpiece "The Infinite Walker", once again charged with Oscar.


    After buying the copyright of the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" in the hands of Ryan, Martin Sr. pulled investment from the plan b film company jointly established by Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, and gathered Leonardo Decca. The luxurious cast of Prio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson and Mark Wahlberg have returned to the gangster themes they are best at after a year and a half.


    As one of the four major directors in the 1980s, Martin Scorsese had enough face. On the premiere day, not only did the stars gather, but also George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Francisco Cole. All three of Paula were present.


    Ryan also accepted the invitation. After he walked into the theater, he discovered that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, as producers and investors, seemed to have resolved their knots after going through the property division and divorce procedures. , Appeared under the lens of the media at the same time.


    If you count Angelina Jolie, who is holding Pete, and Gwyneth Paltrow, who accompanied the godfather Spielberg, the three girlfriends before and after Brad Pitt are all here.


    This is a very normal thing in Hollywood and even in North American society. Ryan has lived here for so many years and has long known that he cannot look at the interpersonal relationships in Western society the way he viewed "Infinite Walker" in his previous life.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    "Gwyneth, you have become more beautiful."


    Gwyneth Paltrow hugged gently with Gwyneth Paltrow, who proactively stretched out her hand, and Ryan casually praised.


    "Oh, is it?" Gwyneth looked very happy and asked, "Where''s Nicole? Didn''t she come together?"


    "I went to another place, and I went to talk about copyright with an author."


    Gwyneth couldn''t help complaining when she heard Ryan''s words. "I really want to talk to her about fashion and baby-care topics."


    She lowered her voice, "I took Epple to see her sister a few days ago, and the two little guys fell in love with each other."


    "Wait for Sonny to be older." Ryan nodded slightly to Matt Damon who was passing by, and continued, "They can play together."


    "It looks like..." Gwyneth seemed to be thinking seriously, "I should move back to Los Angeles from New York."


    Her eyes moved behind Ryan, "Godfather."


    Spielberg and George Lucas walked over, Ryan turned around and shook hands with them one by one, "George. Stephen, it''s been a long time."


    "Yeah, it''s been a long time." Spielberg said with a smile, "Ryan, we came here to help an old friend."


    "Yes." George Lucas put his glasses down. "I heard you wrote a new script for Na? It won''t be released this year, right?"


    "Nate is not Stephen." Ryan can roughly guess what they want to say. After all, he is the most alienated from Martin Scorsese of the four major directors. "That movie won''t start shooting until early next year."


    "That''s good." Spielberg spread his hand to Ryan. "In this way, there will be no conflicts. I believe we will have the same goals this year and next year."


    They are all senior people in Hollywood, some words needless to say are too clear, Ryan nodded. "I''m Martin''s fan."


    "Are you really a fan of Martin?"


    Just after Spielberg, George Lucas, and Gwyneth Paltrow left at the same time, another familiar voice rang from the side.


    Ryan turned his head to look. The woman opposite was slender, with a very contoured face. The eagle''s nose, black eyes, and full lips are protruding and full, and the corners of his mouth are upturned when he laughs, revealing his white teeth. This female director in her thirties still looks like a girl.


    "This is not the tone that a talented female director should use."


    Regarding Sophia Coppola, Ryan is not so polite, "You are a woman admired by all feminists."


    "The highest-grossing female director of a single film in history?" Sophia Coppola walked directly to Ryan, "What is the truth, you know better than me. It is not so much that I made "The Hunger Games". "The Hunger Games" fulfilled me."


    "So..." Ryan opened his hands to each other, "I''m waiting for "Xinghuo Liaoyuan" to create better box office results."


    He walked toward the theater first, "Let¡¯s get started, let¡¯s go in."


    "Ryan..." Sophia Coppola followed from behind. "I''ve seen the manuscript of the third novel. I heard that Disney Pictures wants to make two of them?"


    "I have this idea." Ryan turned his head and glanced at Sophia. "The details are still being discussed. Don''t tell me you want to release the Disney pigeons."


    "You marked such a large amount of liquidated damages on the director''s agreement." Sophia Coppola took Ryan''s arm and walked to the seat with him, "I can''t afford to pay."


    After Ryan sat down, she walked a row forward and sat beside her father Francisco Coppola.


    After seeing Sophia Coppola, Ryan turned his gaze back. This is also a man whose fate was severely affected by him. The Hunger Games finally earned US$785.6 million from the global box office, which also made Sophia. ? Coppola film history, the highest grossing record female director of a single film.


    It is conceivable that with such achievements in a directorship that is almost completely dominated by men, what kind of heights those feminists will hold her to.


    "George..."


    Sitting next to Ryan was George Lucas. He turned his head and said, "I heard that you are going to co-produce "Indiana Jones" the fourth part with Stephen?"


    "Your information is very well-informed." George Lucas nodded, "It is in preparation, and it is expected to start next year."


    "I always thought you were really going to retire?" Ryan said casually.


    "I won''t direct any more films." George Lucas laughed, "I have retired from the position of director."


    "It''s a pity..." Ryan seemed very sorry, "The only four directors are Martin and Stephen who are still launching works."


    The director is like an actor, the replacement of the old and the new is a natural law, but Martin Scorsese is old and strong, this "Infinite Walker" is undoubtedly a good example.


    If it were placed in the previous life, Ryan would definitely say that something made in "Infernal Walker" completely destroyed the artistic conception of the Hong Kong version, but now he will not look at it like that anymore. Essentially, the old Martin''s film is only aimed at the North American market. , It was not filmed for audiences in the Far East at all.


    The Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" is a crime genre full of romantic feelings. It can be described as a typical Hong Kong movie. However, "Infernal Affairs" is not a simple remake of "Infernal Affairs". It is more about the human nature in the story. Just inspired.


    In addition to relying on the same story clues, the script created by William Monaghan is also very different from the Hong Kong version. It is not the intricate relationship between the characters that really touches people here, but the strongest and most invincible of human nature. one side.


    To put it bluntly, the Hong Kong version carefully rendered a "cool" Infernal Affairs, while Mei is less sensational, deep and pretending to be cool, creating a more "real" Infernal Affairs.


    The most typical scene in the middle of the two films, when the police boss is thrown down from the upper floor, the Hong Kong version uses a variety of techniques and the soundtrack to render, while the US version is simple, crude, and direct. The protagonist reads it out of his mouth. There is only one word¡ª¡ª! ! ...


    Sr. Martin is a director deeply rooted in North America. He understands what gangster movies the North American audience likes and how to cater to the tastes of the audience and even the Oscars. This is not a typical Hollywood commercial film aimed at overseas markets. From the point of view, it is even somewhat similar to "The Hunger Games".


    Therefore, this remake will be very miserable after it is released in the Far East, and the film will never be able to escape the influence of the social and cultural environment.


    It''s like the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", which was introduced to North America by Hollywood last year. This classic film that was even considered a rescue in the Far East, only got 160,000 US dollars in the box office in North America...


    Just a group of Chinese actors can be said to be a taboo for the success of the film in North America.


    Sometimes, ideals are full, but reality is extremely cruel. Ryan knows very well that foreign films want to enter North America, especially if they want to be successful at the box office, and the difficulty is even more difficult than what he said to the group of students when he was in China.


    Many oriental expressions like the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" are absolutely unacceptable to North American audiences.


    For example, here is the sentence, Ximen blowing snow is not snow, but blood.


    This sentence is enough for Chinese audiences, even a single line can make people associate the picture, and even the audience can immediately imagine such a scene in their minds-ancient town, small shop, sunset, a sword dripping with blood, A person in white clothes stood motionless, and the hem of his clothes fluttered slightly under the blow of the wind-Sword God, how could it be a cool word.


    But in North America? There is no market for this typical Eastern method, so it needs to be changed to the "Infinite Walker" style-staring at the enemy and saying ¡®! ¡¯


    To reduce sensationalism or deep pretense, just to show the true performance of people in fierce conflict as much as possible. This can be regarded as one of the biggest differences between the US version and the Hong Kong version. In fact, think about the plot at the end of the film. The two undercover agents meet on the rooftop. A person is extremely angry and a person is highly nervous. What will a normal person behave in this situation?


    I am afraid that the situation in the US version is closer to reality, with a big hit, and at the same time, scolding...


    If two people have to express artistic lines in a very calm manner-I''m sorry I am a policeman-it is obvious that romantic pretends are too cool in North American films, and even the most cool film The Matrix would not adopt this kind of plot. .


    This kind of bridge segment that can be regarded as killing the box office in North America, if it is placed in the East, the treatment will be different. No one can deny that the performance of the Hong Kong version is very cool and beautiful.


    (I still think that the Hong Kong version is more beautiful, but the Hong Kong version is really not suitable for North America. Its North American box office is more than 169,000 US dollars...) (to be continued...) ()

 Chapter 740： Special actors are not easy to find

    Although the remake is from the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", "Infernal Affairs" is a completely Americanized film. There is no familiar feeling in the same story line. This may be a master director. I have always used my own voice to speak, and perhaps it is the most direct manifestation of cultural differences.


    "Infernal Affairs" definitely bears a deep Martin Scorsese brand. If the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" can read romance, sadness, and exquisiteness, then "Infernal Affairs" can only read Cold, cruel, and gravel, these are two styles that are absolutely opposite.


    This is North America. "Infernal Affairs" only got more than $160,000 in the box office here. Whether from the perspective of hitting the Oscars or considering the film''s box office, this change is necessary and relatively successful.


    "Legendary director Martin Scorsese''s new American crime masterpiece, his talent shines at the highest peak."


    "This story completely expresses Martin Scorsese''s attainments in art and spirit=no=error=fiction=3w.== as strongly as it is."


    "This is the most energetic, exciting and uplifting film of the year."


    "William Monaghan''s script is completely shocking, the setting is very good, the feelings are like melting lava, and the film''s lines and complex plot are amazing."


    As Ryan expected, "Infinite Walker" has gained a lot of praise in North America, and the media has almost bursting with word of mouth. A large number of well-known film critics, including Roger Albert, have given very high ratings for this film. Even in most film review columns in the media and the Internet, it is extremely difficult to find comments below seven points.


    As for the original "Infernal Affairs", in the eyes of North American media and film critics, just like the French original version of "True Lies" and the Italian original version of "Scent of a Woman", there is not much value at all.


    If the media comments will inevitably bring a regional perspective, then the box office is undoubtedly the best embodiment of the acceptance of the background culture of the two films by ordinary North American audiences.


    In the three days of the weekend, "Inferior Walker" got a box office of 26.88 million US dollars from North America. This result is not too good, but this is already Martin Scorsese''s best North American first-week box office ever.


    In ten days, this film has accumulated nearly 60 million US dollars in the box office from North America, and has won the praise of countless gangster fans. The score on imdb once hovered between 8.7 and 8.9, although gradually Reduced to 8.6 points, but this is already comparable to the ratings of old Martin classics such as "Good Guy" and "Taxi Driver".


    Even if the ratings on imdb do not provide any substantial help to the box office of the film, they can always reflect some problems.


    Especially in the eyes of Martin Scorsese''s die-hard fans, "Infernal Walker" is his successor to "The Good Guy." The most outstanding work.


    From the moment the film was released, Martin Scorsese and the team behind him began the pre-season public relations work, which seemed to have learned the lessons of previous failures, the old Martin and the film investor¡¯s plan b film The company used more resources. Ryan himself alone received calls from Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow.


    Disney did not go straight for the best director and best picture this year, and Ryan did not mind voting for Martin Scorsese and "Infinite Walker". The reason why the other party attaches so much importance to him is also because of him. The votes cast will affect many judges.


    And this is also a favor. When next year, these related people will definitely return this favor to him. Then next year''s "Black Swan"...


    "so¡­¡­"


    Put down the novel in your hand. Nicole looked at Ryan, who was sitting on the opposite sofa and flipping through the newspaper. "Martin Scorsese has a good chance of winning next year''s Oscar for Best Director?"


    "The quality-guaranteed film is already there." Ryan closed the newspaper and looked up. "The rest is up to PR. Martin is not without advantages. Unsurprisingly, most public opinion will favor him. If he is nominated again. If it fails, the college will face a lot of pressure."


    "That''s a vague reminder to the college that you should give me a trophy for best director." Nicole also understands some of the tricks of public relations, "but can''t touch their bottom line."


    "Yes, public relations requires a lot of money." Ryan simply put the newspaper on the coffee table, "but how to use the funds is also very particular."


    "Then you think I have two Oscars for best actresses." Nicole suddenly showed Ryan the documentary novel in his hand, "Will they give me a third one?"


    "My dear, if you don''t have confidence in yourself." Ryan can''t guarantee anything. After all, the person in the previous life can win more awards for her years of hard work and recognition of her status in Hollywood. "I can help you find A heroine."


    "A documentary subject." Nicole didn''t answer his words at all. "The roles that touch on family, affection and struggle are obviously more pleasing than the heroine in the "Australia" script.


    "That''s right." Ryan suddenly remembered, "How much did it cost to get the adaptation rights?"


    "US$3.2 million plus 3% of the North American box office share." Nicole seemed to have a headache for these. "Now that you want to get the right to adapt literary films, the number of checks that need to be issued is getting higher ."


    "Give you a suggestion, dear." Ryan pointed to the tall American football player on the cover of the book. "When the screenwriting team is adapting the script, you''d better find a suitable actor early. This requires a minimum of six feet. A super black guy who is four inches tall and has to pass the acting skills."


    "Oh, yes..." he added, "and start football training as soon as possible. He is a good American football player in the film."


    Although there is no shortage of actors in Hollywood, such special actors are really not easy to find.


    What''s the name of that person in the previous life?


    Ryan scratched his head, except for his size, he really couldn''t remember.


    Suddenly, the door of the villa lobby was pushed open from the outside. Amidst the sound of fine footsteps, Taylor, dragging a huge suitcase, walked in. After Elsa rushed to her to take the suitcase, the guy moved to dress. The two long legs of beige slacks came to Nicole and fell directly on the couch, ignoring his own image.


    "Dear Elsa..." she said to the housekeeper who temporarily put the suitcase aside, "may I have a large glass of strawberry juice? If not, iced soda will do."


    "Wait two minutes." Elsa picked up the phone and dialed the kitchen number.


    "My dear, your publicity journey is complete?" Ryan looked at Tyler. The grown-up girl stuck her tongue out and straightened her waist from a crooked state. "It''s too early to complete. It will take at least one month. The day after tomorrow I Go to Nokia Plaza to sign the sale and stay here for two days temporarily."


    "Why didn''t you go home?" Nicole raised her head and asked.


    "There is no one in the house, the place is still full of paparazzi." Taylor took the strawberry juice from the servant and said thank you. After taking a big sip, he continued, "This is also my home. I miss Sunny."


    "So..." Ryan tilted his head and looked out of the villa through the window. "You brought a lot of reporters and paparazzi?"


    "Ah..." The royal blue eyes turned, Taylor said with a grin, "This place is big, and the protection is tight. Those idiots can''t take pictures. Besides, they know who the owner here is, and they don''t dare. Too presumptuous."


    Without waiting for Ryan to continue speaking, she jumped up from the sofa and ran towards the nursery, "I''m going to see Sunny."


    "Alison." Nicole told the tall back, "Sandy is sleeping, don''t wake her."


    After that, Nicole again ordered the housekeeper, ¡°Elsa, tell the kitchen to cook Alison¡¯s favorite dishes for dinner.¡±


    Tyler went quickly and came back quickly, but ten minutes later, she walked back to the hall. After she sat down, she drank the remaining strawberry juice in the cup in a few mouthfuls.


    "Those paparazzi." She grumbled and complained, "I started chasing after I got out of Los Angeles International Airport until I reached Beverly Hills."


    "anything else"


    Elsa came over with a larger glass, and when Taylor nodded, she filled her up again.


    "Thank you, Elsa." Taylor stood up and gave her a light hug. "You are the best to me."


    "You really said Lisa would be sad." Elsa joked casually and walked back to her seat.


    Tyler sat down, sipped the bright red strawberry juice, "I haven''t seen Sunny for a month, she has grown up so much."


    "Baby grows fast."


    Hearing what Ryan said, Taylor nodded and asked, "Will she call Mom and Dad?".


    "Not yet." Ryan shook his head, "I think it will take a few months to wait, don''t worry."


    "Oh, that''s it." Taylor''s eyes turned again, obviously playing something sticky I have two days off, I must let her call her sister first..."


    "No, why am I wrong again?" She tugged at her long platinum curly hair. "It should be Aunt Taylor."


    "Trust me, dear." Ryan said while packing up the pile of newspapers he had read before. "When Sandy grows up, he will only call your sister."


    Probably thinking of Lily and Apple, who was already able to talk, Taylor''s pair of golden eyebrows slowly twisted, and after thinking about it for about half a minute, he said with a sullen face, "It''s better to be casual."


    After finishing the newspapers, Ryan put it on the newspaper rack on one side, walked to a cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and took out a blue-red robot model that was two feet high.


    "This is the first Optimus Prime model produced by Hasbro in conjunction with the movie. It can be deformed." Ryan handed it to Taylor and pointed to the number ''001'' on the model. "Bumblebee and the others are in the storage room. Here, you will see for yourself later."


    "Ah... That''s great!" Taylor almost snatched it from Ryan, "I almost forgot, our movie is about to be released." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 741： Autobots around us

    "Twenty years ago, a group of living robots came to our planet from Cybertron and fought an extremely fierce war. After more than 20 years, they came back and started a new desperate battle. , The catastrophe is approaching, which side are you on, Autobot or Decepticon?"


    With Optimus Prime posing in a sturdy fighting posture, the promotional video was frozen on the big screen in New York''s Times Square, and then a large line of subtitles lit up.


    "Their war, our world!"


    A large number of pedestrians stopped and watched, leaving the big screen and moving on. Before they got far, they saw the huge movie poster on the billboard.


    This is the latest poster, consisting of four conjoined pieces.


    One is Optimus Prime vs. Megatron. Megatron seems to have fallen from the sky and enveloped the world; while Optimus Prime on one side is a huge head glaring at him, completely plunged into darkness.


    The other three character posters are the three protagonists of Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee. This is the first time that Transformers has shown people in front of a poster.


    "Bumblebee''s body is covered with mud and scars." Someone who followed the film murmured in front of the poster, "I don''t know what kind of long road this most kind Autobot has driven."


    "Go online and take a good look." His companion reminded him, "While the movie has not yet been released, please add some knowledge of "Transformers"."


    Just like this person said, starting from late October, the publicity of "Transformers" has entered the final stage of tackling tough problems. In addition to the usual publicity methods, in order to help viewers who are not fans of animation to watch the film better at that time,'' The Autobot studio has also launched a number of thematic columns and viruses on the official website and multiple cooperative websites, such as the "Transformed Machine Life Form-"Transformers" Series Chronicles" What You Must Know to Watch "Transformers" and viruses video.


    Many sponsors have also launched a series of promotional activities.


    For example, as the number of Bumblebee exposures increased and the sales of that Chevrolet Camaro sports car soared, General Motors launched a special event ¡®Transforming the Future with Chevrolet¡¯.


    And Hasbro. As the original toy manufacturer, they have launched several toys developed based on this film, which use the latest "automatic deformation technology". When a part "deforms", other related parts will automatically "deform" accordingly.


    before. Hasbro rarely develops toys based on the settings of film and television works. Generally, toys are developed first, and then the film and television images created around these toys are produced. However, this is a commercial production supervised and led by Ryan, which will bring toys to toys. What kind of pulling action comes, they naturally know.


    In addition, Disney also held a large-scale trial screening in Los Angeles, and Hasbro also held a trial screening at its headquarters in Rhode Island.


    After the screening in Los Angeles. Ryan deliberately held a grand press conference, focusing on the Transformers who will fight in the film.


    He and director Michael Bay participated in the press conference held in the Disney Press Hall.


    Hundreds of reporters gathered at the press conference. In addition to the seats, they also blocked the water in the aisle. The cameras used by TV stations and Disney TV stations for live broadcasts were set up early. This press conference will also be synchronized through live streaming.


    Even if the people sitting at the front desk are Ryan and Michael Bay, the cameras and camera lenses of these reporters are still placed in front of them. Those are eight life-size Transformers models of the same scale.


    These are not only used for the promotion of press conferences. It is also a gift for movie fans. As long as the audience who booked the movie tickets for the first Wednesday through the Internet, they may win this super commemorative award.


    of course. Now the most important thing is for publicity.


    "These mechanical lifeforms from Cybertron have complex structures and majestic aura, strong and heavy metal texture."


    Those well-built models are exactly as Ryan said, and this is where his self-proclaimed confidence lies. "I believe everyone has seen the trailer. The film softens the overall shape of the line on the basis of the tough mechanical feeling, and the curve is smooth. The structure of the components is quite delicate and changeable."


    "On the basis of respecting the original animated characters, we also incorporated new design elements into the character and identity of the characters."


    Speaking of which. The host took Ryan''s words and introduced them to the media one by one in the Transformers room walking down the stage.


    "Optimus Prime maintains a righteous character. The red and blue patterns are more stylish and smooth."


    "The black metallic color of the iron sheet matches the character''s name more closely."


    "This mechanical life with a hateful grin and an evil breath all over the body is the supreme Decepticon-Megatron!"


    "The chaotic shape is very futuristic. It is Edward Scissorhands in Transformers."


    "Bumblebee has perfect proportions, and the metallic color and bright yellow make it a highlight in the film."


    "The vertigo is so huge that it has super combat power and can easily destroy a military base."


    "Starscream''s face is like a skeleton, with an evil temperament and a cunning character..."


    "Jazz has a perfect steel body..."


    Every time the host introduces a sentence, countless flashes will light up below.


    Afterwards, the press conference entered the indispensable part of reporter''s questioning. Michael Bay, who first accepted the reporter''s gunfire, spoke in front of many microphones.


    "My goal is to make "Transformers" suitable for all ages, so this movie version has made a big breakthrough in character modeling. Almost all Transformers characters appear in human form. I want to make 22-year-old Transformers have become different! Let the robot be in a very real environment, no longer composed of square boxes like in previous cartoons."


    Then a representative from Industrial Light & Magic introduced some technical details.


    "It takes 38 hours for Industrial Light and Magic to render a computer-generated image of "Transformers", which breaks the record set by Weta Studios in 2002 when the tree whiskers in "The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers" were produced. The 20-hour rendering record of each frame. If you connect all the polygons used to build Transformers in the film, you can connect back and forth from the earth to the moon, and the remaining polygons are enough to build twice the size of ancient Rome. The Colosseum."


    Finally, the reporter watched Ryan closely, and if he didn''t answer their questions, he would definitely not let him leave.


    "Ryan, why are you looking for director Michael Bay instead of James Cameron?"


    Hearing this, Ryan couldn''t help distinguishing his badge carefully. These guys are really good enough, regardless of the feelings of Michael Bay next to him.


    "Michael is the most suitable candidate. He is a director who can completely control this film." Ryan will definitely not tear down his own stage on this occasion. "Facts will prove that Michael will be a film fan for fans all over the world. Here is a wonderful movie that is full of blood."


    The next reporter who asked the question, the host immediately changed to someone from the TV station.


    "Although we didn''t participate in the trial film meeting." Of course, my family asked pre-set questions. "But I heard that there will be a few super battles in the film. Can you briefly introduce it?"


    Lightly patted the palm of his hand, and on the screen behind Ryan, several beautifully-made film screenshots appeared.


    "The opening battle of the Qatar base, vertigo and skywarp will show their super destructive power." Compared with the picture, Ryan simply said a few words, "The scorpion Sark giant desert raid the U.S. special forces..."


    At the same time, the press conference and the latest look of these Transformers were successively published by Disney on the official website and the websites of various partners, instantly detonating the enthusiasm of movie fans.


    Of course, it is indispensable to vomit, especially for the new version of the character''s styling.


    "The styling is a bit too cumbersome, it feels too messy, and there is no memory of childhood."


    "I think the modeling is very complicated, not as concise as in the cartoon, and I feel a little dizzy when I watch it."


    "I still miss the previous Transformers. It''s not that complicated, it''s better to be simple."


    "It''s gone, it''s all gone, the shadows of the Autobots and Decepticons in my memory are gone, and my childhood has been destroyed again."


    However, most people remain sane.


    "Since it is a live-action movie, it must have its own characteristics. Let''s wait for the movie to discuss whether it looks good or not. Besides, when has Ryan''s commercial production disappointed."


    "I was very disappointed when I saw the trailer. I couldn''t bear the completely changed Autobots, but when I look closely, they are actually very stylish and it feels great to incorporate modern elements!"


    "I think it''s good to change it appropriately. UU reading is still not too fresh from the old face."


    "In contrast, I like the new look. To be honest, I reviewed the animated version of Transformers in the past two years. I really can¡¯t watch it. The production is too rough. I don¡¯t know why I loved watching it so much when I was a child. I feel the new look. It''s amazing enough."


    More and more people are expressing their expectations for "Transformers", and Disney¡¯s promotional activities have never stopped. Soon after the press conference, Disney joined forces with General Motors, Lamborghini and many other manufacturers in major Disney parks around the world. , A huge event was held.


    In this event called "Virtual and Reality, Autobots Around Us", the winners selected at the end of each field will realize the dream of "taming the bumblebee and bringing the Autobots home".


    It is no exaggeration to say that Disney has joined with distributors from all over the world to create a wave of fanatic propaganda in the 99 countries and regions where "Transformers" is about to land.


    And in this wave, there are indispensable voices that are opposed or even ridiculous, especially after the trial film of "Transformers". (To be continued) ()

 Chapter 742： There are such people in the world

    At Disney¡¯s trial screenings in Los Angeles, as in the past few years, no established and well-known film critics were invited at all. For a media group such as Walt Disney with almost all-round coverage, the weak voices of film critics are simply Dispensable.


    But at another screening event in Rhode Island, Hasbro invited a large number of film critics to participate, and then caused a lot of trouble for itself.


    After the press conference, Ryan got some news from the person who supervised the copying at Disney in Rhode Island. It is said that the group of film critics headed by Roger Albert specially invited by Hasbro is in Before the trial screening was over, they left early.


    Subsequently, Roger Albert''s column, unexpectedly wrote about the disdain and ridicule of "Transformers."


    "Watching this movie is a terrible experience. The length is unbearable, but there are only two or three interesting scenes. There are too many endless production scenes, too many to bear, and it makes people feel There is no need for this. Disney should evaluate their strategy again, instead of simply playing these transformations and sparring games on the screen."


    "The plot of the movie is simply unreasonable. The dialogue between Autobots, Decepticons and other robots is meaningless. Their accents are mixed with Brooklyn accents, British accents and-accents, but they play alien creatures. Their performance depends on their performance. Going up is like waste dumped in a garbage dump. They are stupid like stones."


    "This movie was directed by Michael Bay, who was the one who filmed "Death Island" in 1996, and he is now making something like "Transformers". This is not a movie. , At best, it¡¯s just a toy show. Children holding Transformers toys can be full of imagination of toys, fantasizing that they will fight bravely, and will always be their friends. I knew a child who lost his blue one while playing Truck toy, crying heartbreaking. But even such a child will be disappointed and frustrated with "Transformers"."


    "The battle scene in the movie is the most disgusting. A robot can still tell you apart, but two or three together is completely confusing, and the robot that can change from a Chevrolet Camaro to a four-story high What is it? It only relies on fists when fighting..."


    "These robots made by Industrial Light & Magic are stupid than a box of pins. They all have huge heads. They are funny like clowns in a circus. To be precise, clowns are more exciting than their performances. "


    "Transformers does not have any value worth watching. Smart people still save this money. To save their movie tickets, if you really want to know what the movie is about, you don¡¯t need to go to the theater at all. Just walk into the kitchen. Let a team of male choirs sing the song of hell, and then ask a child to bang pots and pans, and then close your eyes and let your imagination run wild."


    Roger Albert''s final attitude can no longer be described with extreme disdain.


    This is a country of free speech, and no one can stop him from expressing his views. But his call not to go to the theater, in a sense, is touching the cake of Walt Disney.


    The other party did not know the so-called film review, and was quickly forwarded to Ryan''s mailbox by the Autobot studio. In the past few years, Roger Albert¡¯s bombardment of Disney commercial films has never stopped. Ryan was too lazy to take care of such a person who was almost eliminated by the times, but he jumped out again and again. I always show how clever my eyes are. It seems that the entire Disney film team and the audience in the United States are stupid, only making and watching those stupid movies.


    Especially this time. The comment on "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" was even more excessive than the last time. I just shouted in the column, "Everyone should not watch "Transformers".


    However, this kind of thing is not without benefits. Since someone opened fire, the topic should be thoroughly heated, and Quan should be used to create momentum for the promotion of the film.


    Just after a few calls from Ryan, Internet media such as Yahoo, Google, and Disney Online reposted Roger Albert¡¯s comments in prominent positions. Even Facebook and Twitter, which had some reputation just now, were equally large. ''S reposted this article, and accompanying this film review, the scale and momentum far outweighed its counter-comments.


    Disney wanted to find a gunman to refute it. It was too easy. It could easily pull out dozens of well-known critics from all walks of life. However, what was pushed to the forefront by Disney was the opinion expressed by an ordinary movie fan.


    "I''m just an ordinary person, neither a practitioner in the film industry nor a well-known critic. My greatest hobby is food and movies. I still remember what a well-known food critic in the United States said-in many ways, critics Work is easy. We don¡¯t need to take risks, but we can enjoy a higher status than those who provide our own works for us to judge. We are keen to criticize others, and writers and readers find it interesting, but the real fact is, Any ordinary junk food is more meaningful than our criticism of it!"


    "However, not all experts who think they are clever have such awareness!"


    "Following, it is me... an unknown ordinary movie lover and "Transformers" lover in return."


    "For those film critics who are as great and noble as Roger Albert."


    "There are people of this kind in the world who think they are invincible academically and have a clever vision, like the **** of the industry they are engaged in, but they are actually poor ¡®waste¡¯ that even the public¡¯s taste does not understand."


    "There are people in the world who think that their comments represent authority and can guide the ¡®pedantic¡¯ public at will, but they don¡¯t know that their views are never important in the eyes of the majority of the public."


    "There are people of this kind in the world who clearly have their own thinking that is too rigid to keep up with the progress of the times, yet they think that their own heaven and earth are the yardsticks for measuring the world today, but in the eyes of reasonable people, they are already like mummies in a pyramid. "


    "There are such people in the world who look at the development of things by their own standards and think that new things must be discovered by them. However, the development of the times has already eliminated these''self-righteous'' gentlemen, but they don''t know it."


    "For those great people of this kind, for that great film critic, your viciousness and meanness can only make us farther away from your group of people who have been eliminated by the times."


    "Please take a sympathetic look at the ¡®authority¡¯ who doesn¡¯t even know Bumblebee, but is going to ridicule Transformers."


    "Remember the facts Ryan cited when he rebutted David Denby?


    "In the spring of 1977, at a preview of a new science fiction film that was about to be released, critics who thought they were savvy brought a "newborn" to be born with a "silly death" and "cheap entertainment". "''S hat, directly sentenced him to death."


    "However, in the end, the child who was regarded as a''must die'' was humbled on the road in the cold eyes and cold words of film critics including Roger Albert... Today, 30 years later, those who laughed at this''live'' Film critics such as Roger Albert never mentioned the matter, but the child who was "destined to be short-lived" was called-"Star Wars"!"


    "I participated in the film''s trial in Los Angeles. Maybe "Transformers" will not become a sci-fi epic legend like "Star Wars", but if you really love Transformers, if you really like great movies, you really just want to be In this irritable age, find a cool and mysterious place to freely gallop your wildness...


    "Then when you look at it seriously, you will be surprised to find that it is far more detailed and magnificent than imagined, and the person who doesn''t even know the bumblebee, but still slobbers wildly, I think too. Say--there is still a place on the history bookshelf of the library, where is your true home!"


    Using the ocean of people''s war to submerge the voices of those opponents is what Ryan and Disney are doing. This is not only conducive to publicity and hype, but also arouses more people''s attention to the film.


    For people like Ryan with a large amount of media resources, it is not too difficult to properly guide public opinion. This is also the basic ability of all media groups in the world, not to mention that he himself is the most well-known and most famous in this country. One of the influencers.


    Many online media have placed Roger Albert¡¯s film reviews in a prominent position, which undoubtedly provides the public with an opportunity to sling. Although there are also some older people on the Internet who support each other, for the main teenagers, Do they know Roger? Who is Albert?


    "I have always regarded film reviews as background noise."


    "This film critic is just a fool who can talk nonsense."


    "Anyway, the memories of childhood have been awakened again. It has been a long time since I looked forward to a movie like this.


    The Internet can be described as a surge of public sentiment Even in Roger Albert''s Internet column, some people have already increased the strength of rebuttal to personal attacks.


    "Who posted that ugly and inhuman picture of this old guy, so that he could vent his anger!"


    Then someone posted a picture, "Posted..."


    "There is even more ugly Zhang!" Someone followed up in reply.


    "Let this pedantic and sour person continue to spray here, we are ready to watch the movie."


    These are all offensives in public opinion. Since the other party has raised his speech to a height that touches Disney¡¯s interests, Ryan will not remain indifferent. While using Disney¡¯s media resources to guide public opinion, he has been called one after another. Get out.


    Google and Yahoo, the two largest online search engine service providers in the United States, promised that for a long period of time in the future, search services will automatically block Roger Albert¡¯s online column, and several reprinted Roger Albert¡¯s film reviews. The paper media, in the case that Disney and many other companies may withdraw the advertising cooperation, have cancelled the reprint agreement with Roger Albert... (to be continued...) ()

 Chapter 743： What does South Korea use to conquer the world

    This matter did not end immediately. Before the film was released, Ryan didn''t want it to end. Keeping a certain topic hot was not harmful to the film.


    Facing the surging pressure of public opinion, Roger Albert quickly responded.


    "A lot of people have not watched a movie, but have been deceived by some people. "Transformers" is really bad, saying that it is good but still playing with toys. People with low education or cultural quality, those who have People with rich experience in watching movies and well-educated people will definitely think this is a bad movie after watching it!"


    His counterattack just appeared in the online column and was met with sarcasm.


    "I think this kind of talent is the saddest thing. He even used the level of education to talk about it."


    "The recent Transformers incident showed me the shamelessness and ignorance of some people."


    "In a word, old man...this film was not made for you. If you say yes, it is estimated that very few people have watched the film."


    "This old guy clearly jumped out of the hype. I heard that the treatment of film critics in recent years has been very poor..."


    This controversy gradually shifted from the Internet to TV shows. The TV station¡¯s "Allen Show" program invited the main members of Ryan¡¯s most fanatical fan organization in North America, the female fan organization in the Upper East Side of New York. They Facing the TV camera, he directly declared war on Roger Albert.


    "After all, the audience decides whether a movie is good or bad, and the box office is the most intuitive reaction."


    This fan organization is clearly prepared, "What is the name...what Roger? Albert, how about we make a bet? If the global box office of "Transformers" is less than $600 million, we will start from Streaking from the east coast to the west coast, if the global box office is higher than 800 million US dollars, you will no longer publish film reviews, dare you?"


    It doesn''t matter whether Roger Albert is trying to attract eyeballs in a slamming way, or he really hates "Transformers." After Alan DeGeneres¡¯ talk show was broadcast, he became the target of many media reporters, and even after someone blocked him, he directly threw this question in front of him.


    It is a pity that Roger Albert did not write a response. He is not a fool, and his head has not been flooded to the point of agreeing to such an unreliable bet.


    Perhaps, deep down in his heart, he also admitted that this film has many factors that make it a big box office.


    After all, that horrible pre-sale box office number. Enough to overwhelm the final box office of quite a few Hollywood movies.


    Although entering November, "Transformers" has launched a formal pre-sale activity around the world, but after all, it is difficult to count specific numbers overseas. However, in North America, Hollywood''s base camp, related personnel from Ryan and other crew boarded the plane to Seoul At that time, the box office pre-sale number of "Transformers" was already close to 110 million U.S. dollars.


    Of course, 3d and imax contributed more than half.


    The negotiations between Disney and the North American Theater Alliance were all over in October, and 4,150 first-week theaters were won for "Transformers", including 3,500 3D screens and 220 imax theaters.


    Another round of 3D and imax theater construction boom started in the summer. Provided more high-ticket screens for "Transformers".


    On November 19, earlier than North America, the world premiere of "Transformers" officially kicked off at Seoul Tower.


    At the end of the red carpet, there is a one-to-one ratio model of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. After some South Korean stars walked on the red carpet, Bilt pulled the truck head and the Camaro sports car slowly to the reserved positions in front of their respective models, triggering a wave of cheers from fans.


    The two cars stopped and Ryan and Alessandra Ambrosio stepped out of the Camaro sports car. Michael Bay and Josh Duhamel jumped out of the Bilt truck.


    Almost all the reporters gathered around, and the South Korean goddesses were no longer bothered by the media.


    If it hadn''t been long ago, security personnel had surrounded the four people. Hundreds of reporters could almost completely submerge Ryan and the others with human waves. Even so, they still stayed by the car for ten minutes amidst flashing lights and unintelligible Korean.


    It was not until the security personnel separated a road that Ryan walked into the interview area with Alexandra Ambrosio. The South Korean reporters who followed almost turned it into a vegetable market. With additional personnel to maintain order, this gradually calmed down.


    Subsequently, the routine interview ceremony must be indispensable, and Ryan also answered a few questions through an interpreter.


    However, after asking a few questions about "Transformers", South Korean reporters gradually shifted the topic to South Korean movies.


    "Mr. Jenkins, it is said that you are the one who advocated the premiere of "Transformers" at the Seoul Tower. Why is this?"


    Upon hearing the translation, Ryan had the urge to roll his eyes. It was obvious that South Korea had offered a sponsorship fee that made Disney''s heartwarming, okay?


    "Film is a pan-world entertainment method. The language of film can bring the distance between any country and nation closer."


    Maybe it¡¯s dissatisfied with Ryan¡¯s obvious response, and a South Korean reporter asked, ¡°In recent years, Korean movies have made great progress. I don¡¯t know which Korean movie and which Korean movie star left you. deep impression?"


    "This..." Ryan couldn''t help frowning slightly. He seemed to have seen a few South Korean movies in his previous life, but he had no impression at all. "Sorry, I don''t know much about South Korean movies and movie stars."


    Although he was sorry in his words, he didn''t mean to be sorry.


    "But South Korea has already entered the North American market with movies and has achieved good results."


    It seems that Ryan does not praise South Korean films, so these reporters will not give up. They continue to ask, "Do you think Korean films will have an impact on the domestic film industry in the United States?"


    "Do you think it will?" Ryan asked rhetorically, and then said, "I won''t answer questions that are not related to Transformers."


    "Korean film just won the Venice Film Festival..."


    "Li Bingxian appeared in many Hollywood movies. I heard that Disney offered him 15 million dollars in remuneration and invited him to star in "Thor"..."


    "Can Korean female celebrities break into Hollywood? Will their entry into Hollywood affect the status of the first-line female celebrities in Hollywood?"


    Listening to a more confident question, Ryan simply winked at his bodyguards, and then left the interview area under their cover, leaving only the voice of ¡®Smecta¡¯ behind.


    "Why are they so confident?"


    Alexandra Ambrosio, who has been holding Ryan, was very puzzled. When she walked into the Seoul Tower, she asked incomprehensibly, "Perhaps arrogance is more appropriate?"


    "They are always confident."


    When entering the elevator, Michael Bey followed from behind. After declining South Korean staff to enter, there were no outsiders in the elevator. If Bey exploded, it was even more polite, "You know, a South Korean reporter asked me just now," If their films beat Hollywood films on a global scale, will I come to South Korea to develop?"


    "God..." Alexandra Ambrosio muttered, "Their thinking seems to be completely different from ordinary people."


    "Ryan." Michael Bay looked at this side and asked curiously, "Aren''t you always studying Eastern culture? Do you understand why?"


    "I don''t know much about this country, and I only know some superficial things." Ryan looked at the elevators showing the changing floors, and said simply, "A country in history is just a subject country, and it doesn''t really belong to itself. A country with its own history and culture has suddenly become one of the countries with the best economic conditions in the Far East. Naturally, it wants to seek a higher status in other places, such as culture, politics, and history."


    "But..." Ryan made a gesture that you understand. "They really don''t have much to be proud of, so they tamper with history at will, wishing to recognize celebrities all over the world as descendants of South Koreans."


    "I thought about it." Michael Bey suddenly realized, "You wrote "The World''s Largest Country and Zenith Stars" a long time ago, and now South Korea seems to be in the state described in that article.


    "In fact, South Korea is the center of the entire universe." Ryan deliberately joked, "In the eyes of some of their own people, that''s probably the case, so they think their movies will definitely conquer the world."


    "It''s just a dog raised in the United States." Michael Bay said disdainfully, "The culture of its own is not even the mainstream culture of the Far East. What do they use to conquer the world?"


    "Use plastic surgery techniques."


    It seems that Alexandra Ambrosio has paid attention to the Japan-Korea online controversy some time ago, and he suddenly made a joke.


    "South Korean artificial beauties look much more refined than you Ryan waited for Michael Bay to laugh and said, "Do you mind if I say that, Colin? "


    "You said they are artificial beauties!"


    The elevator door opened at this time, and Alexandra Ambrosio took the lead to go out.


    In public, the three of them and later Josh Duhamel became standard Hollywood celebrities, showing their own elegance and etiquette, while maintaining a sufficient distance from South Korean people.


    Facing an individual introduced by the organizer, Ryan only nodded politely. He only reached out and shook the other person when he heard an introduction with enough weight, even if the person in front of him was the chairman of the South Korean Film Association or the culture. The head of the department is no exception.


    Although these South Korean filmmakers are full of inexplicable self-confidence, even in the next few years, the so-called rise of South Korean films can only prevail in South Korea, let alone enter the mainstream Western market, even in the film market of other countries in the Far East. When it was released, there was only one result.


    It is no exaggeration to say that it is much easier for South Korea to conquer the world with plastic surgery techniques than with movies. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 744： Optimus Prime is here

    Surrounded by the layers of the US military, the Black Hawk helicopter on the tarmac did not respond, and the situation was very strange.


    "Let your crew members disembark immediately, otherwise we will kill you!"


    With the warning sound from the communicator, the engine of the Black Hawk helicopter finally went out, and the rotating propellers suddenly gathered together.


    Just when the iconic deformation sound full of metallic texture sounded, the picture on the screen changed slightly, which was not easily noticeable. This section of the lens shot with the imax3d camera was automatically adjusted to a ratio of 1.43:1, thus covering it. The entire 27. giant alloy screen.


    Then, all the Smecta viewers wearing the latest 3D glasses opened their mouths wide in shock, and Transformers realized the first real transformation on the big screen!


    On the huge screen that covers the entire picture, the vertigo seems to be within reach of the Smectas, showing how to transform from a helicopter into a huge humanoid machine in an extremely realistic way. Thousands of parts move at the same time, shrinking, stretching, adjusting and many other seemingly incredible deformation actions are completed almost instantly.


    "Except Hollywood." Someone in the ordinary Smecta audience sitting in the back row murmured, "I can''t think of any other country''s film that can do all this. Is this the imax3d technology?"


    "Don''t be frustrated." The companion next to him said confidently, "At most three years, we in South Korea can make movies that are more advanced than this special effect. We can definitely!"


    While he was talking, Vertigo had launched a surprise attack on the U.S. military. His firepower was fierce, and most of the U.S. military personnel were not sufficiently prepared. This piece of land proved that the U.S. military is extremely bad at responding to raids and fighting. Almost showing a one-sided trend.


    Captain Lennox finally assembled his special team and launched a counterattack against Vertigo with his only weapon. It is a pity that they lacked heavy weapons, it is difficult for them to cause enough damage to the stun, but it slowed the attack speed of this Decepticon.


    Michael Bay also used this lens to confess his ideas. Transformers have a huge and even overwhelming advantage over mankind, but they are not invincible.


    The full imax3d screen has been played for nearly two minutes. When it was not over, the camera suddenly turned. In the sky a little far from the US military base in Qatar, a business jet produced by Gulfstream was hovering, just stunned and crushed. The moment the attack was blocked. The business jet made a weird sound¡ªSkywarping was dispatched¡ªand then disappeared from the air.


    In the next instant, it arrived at the low altitude of the Qatar base, completed its transformation in the air with dazzling movements, and landed on the ground, and the vertigo that released the magic scorpion Zack giant flanked the U.S. army on both sides, facing the heavy fire attack of the Trinity. The U.S. military is over.


    Joining the Skywarp, which can be teleported over short distances, was originally due to a sponsorship contract with Gulfstream, but after several discussions between Ryan and Michael Bay. It was decided to place it at the Qatar base where it first appeared, so as to increase the power ratio of the Decepticons during the raid.


    Guns, shouts, explosions. Coupled with the flames rising to the sky, in the full imax3d lens, it creates an unspeakable impact, which will immediately let the Smecta audiences. I experienced a more visual impact than "Jurassic Park 3".


    When the vertigo broke the ceiling of the US military command and the huge manipulator grabbed the server, the picture on the screen returned to a normal 3D picture. This full imax shot of less than 3 minutes came to an end.


    Now that he accepted the Pentagon¡¯s sponsorship, Michael Bay would naturally not forget to show the bravery of the US military. Faced with the most dangerous situation, the US military commander still forcibly cut off the power to the server.


    Although the film claims to have five clues during the promotion, strictly speaking, the film is the two main lines of the US military and the male protagonist Sam.


    After the opening battle to attract the audience to watch patiently, the camera shifted to California, USA, on Sam, an ordinary high school graduate.


    This young man who is less than twenty years old has divorced his parents, and he does not plan to live with either party. The first thing after graduating from high school is to come to Valencia, a small city in the greater Los Angeles area, from New York, because a lawyer notified He, in accordance with the will of his grandfather who died a few months ago, will inherit the most precious part of the Witvic family''s estate.


    Sam not only came to inherit the inheritance, but also planned to use the holiday to work in order to earn a sum of money for his future study at Stanford University.


    Under the leadership of the lawyer, he came to the old house of the Witwicz family near the second-hand car market and saw the most precious property of the Witwicz family left behind by his grandfather.


    Nautical charts, sextants, old-fashioned sailor equipment, and old-fashioned glasses of a great-great-grandfather. He picked up the glasses and couldn''t help but think of the legend in the family that his grandfather once said, a captain who had gone to the North Pole expedition...


    In addition to these, there are several thousand dollars in cash.


    After successfully completing the transfer of the will, Sam stood in front of the window, watching the second-hand car market not far away, and his mind gradually became alive.


    A car can be said to be a boy¡¯s coming-of-age gift. It¡¯s a pity that he has not had a car of his own. Looking at the inherited dollars and those things, he can¡¯t help but think of buying the first car in his life. After all, whether it is If you are working or going to school in the future, having a car is much more convenient.


    The most important thing is that with a car, picking up girls will be relatively easy.


    Especially in the second-hand car market, you can faintly see a long-legged blonde beauty and a beautiful Chinese beauty. For a boy who is less than twenty years old, is there anything more attractive than this?


    Sam is a typical American youth. The "family treasure" left by his grandfather is far less attractive than cars and beautiful women. It only took a short time before he decided to put these things on eBay for auction. Raise a car fund and get another cash.


    The next day, Sam came to the car market. He was not stupid. He knew that he could not buy a new car with the money in his hands. A suitable second-hand car was definitely a wise choice. Perhaps it was the role of the two beauties yesterday. He subconsciously He came to the second-hand car market, and then embarked on a road that has been entangled with Transformers.


    It was the blonde beauty named Michaela who received Sam, but this woman was far more difficult than she seemed. After a bargain and the car window glass broke inexplicably, it was not until her boss father spoke that Sam bought what she liked. That second-hand Camaro sports car with racing stripes.


    "No car likes a stingy driver." Faced with Sam''s lunch invitation, Michaela said in a charming manner, "No woman will accept the invitation of a man who brings a weird situation!"


    The poor little boy was just rejected by the beauty in his mind.


    At the same time, in another main line, the Pentagon began to thoroughly investigate the attack on the Qatar base. Iran and North Korea were listed as the main suspected targets. For this purpose, the Ministry of Defense called a large number of young computer network experts. These people successfully detected the attack. The confusion invading Air Force One was detected, but the Decepticon who was specifically responsible for funny was not caught.


    Luan found the things Sam had put up for auction on the Internet. After meeting with the roadblock, he went straight to Valencia.


    Driving a newcomer second-hand Camaro, Sam went around the town until it was dark before returning to the old house of the Witwich family. When he was sleeping at night, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of a car starting. After discovering that his new Chevrolet had been stolen, he rushed out of the house, got on a bicycle, and rushed up while calling the police.


    The hapless boy didn''t know that he had been spotted by the barricade, and the alarm signal was intercepted at the barricade.


    Rushing to an abandoned factory outside the town, Sam witnessed an incredible scene. The car he bought came back to life. Under his gaze, it transformed into a big yellow robot with puppy eyes.


    The robot didn''t seem to notice him, as if sending a signal to the sky.


    Poor Sam accidentally alarmed the two big dogs at the factory gate, and when he was chased by the dog and desperate, the yellow Camaro drove away the vicious dog.


    What happened tonight almost dazzled Sam''s brain. Facing the old sports car he drove away, he decisively chose-escape!


    The deformed car didn''t want to let him go, so he chased it all the way. Sam picked up his bicycle and rushed to the direction he came when he called the police. Unknowingly, he rushed to the second-hand car market near his home. Arrived at Michaela, who was about to close.


    "Hey boy, you shouldn''t be here!"


    Facing the beauty''s question, Sam asked loudly in a panic, "Why did the car you sold me live? Why did it become a robot?"


    "Are you taking drugs?"


    Amidst the beautiful women¡¯s doubts, a police car drove here, thinking that Sam, who had encountered the savior, ran over immediately, and then the police car was transformed in the incredible eyes of a pair of men and women!


    In a moment of crisis Bumblebee rushed in to save Sam. Faced with an evil robot that ordinary people could not fight against, Michaela had no choice but to sit on Sam''s Chevrolet Camaro.


    The film enters the part that Michael Bay is best at, chasing cars, fighting, sabotage, bumblebees against roadblocks, beautiful women Michaela and Sam are confused and entangled, and the courageous Sam picks up a small chainsaw from an abandoned factory. Saw off the confused head, but didn''t notice it turned into a mobile phone, and got into the handbag that Michaela had dropped.


    During the fierce struggle, Bumblebee got rid of the roadblock and had a simple communication with the two on the radio.


    At the same time, the squad led by Captain Lennox encountered an attack by the Devil Sark Giant. With the support of the US Air Force, it struggled to repel the Decepticon and set off on its way home.


    Similarly, these two action scenes all use imax lenses, and the effect is amazing.


    After a simple exchange, Bumblebee drove Sam and Michaela to the outskirts. After 26 minutes and 13 seconds from the beginning of the film, the absolute protagonist Optimus Prime finally appeared! (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 745： Long live Megatron

    When the screen was spread over the big screen again, the film showed the process of Optimus Prime¡¯s deformation very clearly in close-up mode, with tens of thousands of parts rotating at the same time, a high-level mechanical life with wisdom, 22 years after its birth, Finally appeared in the most shocking way.


    Not to mention ordinary viewers and Transformers fans, even Ryan, feel a little excited.


    This is not the Transformers that can only be watched in his previous life, this is his dream work that he has invested 170 million dollars and personally participated in to complete.


    There is a famous saying about "Transformers" in the previous life, men watch battles, women watch deformation...


    It¡¯s certainly not a problem for the film to attract male audiences. How to attract female audiences is the focus of filming and marketing. So Ryan and Alessandra Ambrosio, two people with strong appeals, became the protagonists, so the lens is in Here, the transformation process of the five Autobots is shown in the imax panorama.


    As the absolute protagonist, Optimus Prime took a little more than 26 minutes to officially debut. For this, it sacrificed the role of human beings. The time gained can also be used to confess Megatron¡¯s greatest enemy and stop him. Become a completely facial villain.


    Optimus Prime explained the role of Megatron to Sam, Michaela and all the audience by means of projection and narration.


    "Cybotan is a huge metal planet. It is composed of a variety of metal ores with different properties. For millions of years, Cybertron has been under the leadership of the Autobots..."


    After a brief introduction to Cybertron, in conjunction with Megatron¡¯s sturdy fight in the screen, Optimus Prime¡¯s narration was also transferred to this old opponent and friend, "The Autobot Supreme Council¡¯s rule over Cybertron is gradually decayed. The emergence of Megatron changed this situation. Megatron quickly emerged as a gladiator star in Cybertron. The arena has also become a platform for him to attract like-minded partners."


    "Megatron tried his best to incite dissatisfaction with the Autobot regime, claiming that this system seriously hampered their nature to expand and conquer. He fiercely criticized the Supreme Council. He claimed that the Autobots Supreme Council planned a scam behind the scenes, that is, prohibition. The residents of Cybertron understand their essence."


    "Although Megatron has never explained the details of this''conspiracy'', his creed fits the long-term dissatisfaction of a considerable part of Cybertron''s residents, so he has received a positive response, and his very bewitching speech and The super combat power has made thousands of Transformers become his alliance. Many Transformers, including me, were confused by him. I had a good relationship with Megatron and believed that what he advocated was Cybertron. In the future, until he and the Decepticons he built betray everyone."


    "Megatron was persuaded by an ancient evil force in Cybertron, which promoted the theory of genetic superiority and the concept of totalitarian rule. It believed that the Decepticons, which can fly and are more powerful, should rule Cybertron, between the Autobots and the Decepticons. The war broke out, and Megatron went to extremes. Autobot¡¯s rule in Cybertron was overthrown. I found that if Megatron¡¯s plan succeeds, not only Cybertron will be destroyed, but it may even threaten other galaxies. Safety, so I took over the leadership of the Autobots from the previous leader of the Autobots..."


    Then, Optimus Prime talked about the fire source and Megatron''s journey to the earth to find the fire source and was frozen in ice. The group went straight to Sam''s inherited grandfather''s house. Just as Optimus Prime and others were hiding in the woods by the roadside waiting for Sam and Michaela because they didn''t want to disturb nearby residents, another group of uninvited guests arrived.


    This group is more like the seventh district agents who appeared specifically for funny. Attracted by the items auctioned by Sam and the fall of Optimus Prime and others from the sky, it was soon determined that Sam and Michaela were direct contacts. They caught them in the car and prepared to take them to the seventh district.


    The subsequent plot is the same as the previous life. Optimus Prime stopped the convoy, but because they did not want to fight humans, Bumblebee and Sam were captured again in the seventh district, and the camera was also transferred to the other two lines. The Secretary of Defense and the team of Captain Renlocks, who had just returned to China, were also invited to the Hoover Dam by District 7.


    The two main lines of the film come together here, and the battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons is about to start.


    Because he got his glasses from Sam, Optimus Prime, Ironhide, an ambulance, etc. chased to the vicinity of the Hoover Dam, that is, here, Optimus Prime said the words that best reflected his thoughts-the right to freedom belongs to all beings. !


    The conversations with Ironhide, Jazz and Ambulance also explained the character of the Autobot leader, his belief that freedom and rights belong to all living beings, and to prevent Megatron¡¯s desire for destruction. Hopefully, as the youngest Autobot in history Leader, Optimus Prime will never let go of any chance to win victory, and will do whatever it takes-even at the expense of the Autobot he cares about, or even his own life.


    Under Optimus Prime''s sincere, frank, gentle and upright appearance, the insurmountable flames of war gradually cultivated a relatively cold and ruthless fire.


    At this point in the film, all the suspense has almost disappeared. The only thing left to the audience is to wait for the ultimate battle between the Decepticons and the Autobots.


    According to Hollywood tradition, behind every famous American building, there is always an ulterior purpose. The Hoover Dam, built in the 1920s and 1930s, exists to cover the source of fire and megatron. The leader of Tianhu was frozen like frozen meat by humans in the Hoover Dam.


    This also proves from the side that Transformers are not invincible, and human beings are not without the power to fight back against these big guys.


    Not to mention those funny plots for the sake of humor, the confusion jumped out of Michaela¡¯s handbag, using the energy of the fire source to restore the body sawn by Sam, and at the same time conveyed the discovery of the fire source and Megatron to the Decepticons. Information.


    As a result, Starscream, the temporary leader of the Decepticons, gave the command of a general attack to all the members of the Decepticons who had reached the earth.


    Noisy, assault, dizziness, Skywarp, and Starscream have appeared one after another, and since they have come to Earth, Autobots can learn English from the Internet, and the conversations of these Decepticons are no exception.


    "Long live Megatron!"


    A very simple line can highlight Megatron''s status and prestige in the Decepticons.


    As for how other Decepticons came to the earth, just like the earlier Bumblebee comics, comics and animated short films will be launched after the film is released.


    Starscream attacked the power supply network of the dam first, and cooperated with the confusion to destroy the refrigeration system of the seventh area. Megatron woke up from the ice and faced the threat of the special team led by Captain Renlocks, the seventh area I had to choose to hand over the fire source to the Hornet. In order to avoid the fire source from falling into the hands of the Decepticons, Captain Renlocks protected the Hornet and Sam and Michaela running towards Los Angeles, where it is easy to hide, and the Secretary of Defense The group contacted the Air Force by using the old-fashioned shortwave radio station that the Decepticons could not interfere with, and a batch of f-22 Raptor fighters rushed into the air.


    Of course, they have to deal with the confusion that is responsible for the funny.


    After merging with Optimus Prime and the Autobots, a convoy rushed onto the highway.


    The film once again enters the part that Michael Bay is best at. Attacks and sky-falls are the first to arrive, chasing cars, fighting, collisions and explosions appear one after another. It is just a few minutes of footage. There are dozens of vehicles belonging to GM. The car was destroyed. Perhaps in ordinary 2d images, the tricks that these explosive shells had played long ago were nothing more than this, but in imax3d, the huge visual impact stimulated adrenaline soaring.


    Up to now, apart from the conflict with humans, Optimus Prime has not had much opportunity to show his fighting power. As the absolute protagonist of the film, the one who rushes to the forefront at this moment must be the most heroic leader among the Autobots.


    After the attack was deformed, Optimus Prime also turned into a robot form. He took out the iconic big gun from behind, and shot down the low-altitude skywarp from the air with just one shot, and then fought against the attacking attack. In one place, two Transformers hit the highway bridge all the way to the underside of the bridge.


    When he fell under the high-speed bridge, Optimus Prime instantly turned into a mutilation thief. The two left and right flaming swords popped out of his hands, cutting off the head of the attack like melons and vegetables. After rushing on the highway, he flew again just after Skywarp. When he got up, he caught up with the Decepticon, and before the opponent launched a teleport, punched through his chest, crushing the evil fire.


    The tremor lasts only a few minutes. In this era, if so many scenes of the King Kong War were filmed like the third and fourth films later, I am afraid that the production cost will be pushed to an extremely terrifying figure.


    These two battles delayed the time for Optimus Prime to catch up with the convoy. Sam and others who entered the city faced noise, dizziness and Starscream, especially the latter, disguised as f-22 The fighter plane broke the legs of the Hornet.


    At the moment of crisis, Megatron chased it up again. The power balance between the two sides showed a one-sided trend. It was the best choice to send the fire source away, so Sam inevitably embarked on a road full of crises and explosions.


    However, before you go, you have to play up the feelings of the hero and heroine.


    "Sam, no matter what the final outcome is, I''m very happy to get in your car."


    Against the backdrop of fire and explosion, the hero and heroine hug each other.


    The battle was completely heated, but Megatron¡¯s name forced the Autobots to retreat strategically. Unfortunately, the Jazz was easily brought down by Megatron, and finally torn in half.


    Under the cover of iron and an ambulance, Sam rushed to the building where he had an appointment with the Black Hawk helicopter. In the middle, he was blocked by Starscream. When he fell, the energy from the fire source activated a car and A phone booth, these transformers made by the fire source, also revealed the evil nature, and once appeared, they would kill. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 746： You forced me to have no choice

    The fire blazed into the sky, and cars were carried into the sky by the shock wave of the explosion. Sam stood up again and ran like an antelope chased by a cheetah. The Starscream, who will surely be complained by countless people afterwards, is still in the tail. Pursuing and killing, the iron skin at the back jumped high, turned over and threw Starscream to the ground.


    The mechanical parts flew in all directions, and the road was smashed into spider webs. As soon as Starscream got rid of the entanglement of the iron skin, he was shot by the ambulance that was catching up. In desperation, he turned into an F-22 and fled in a hurry.


    Although Sam rushed into the building, the trouble he left behind was attacking passers-by everywhere.


    The two newly emerged Transformers seem to be evidence of Optimus Prime''s words-once Megatron uses the fire source to mass produce Transformers, humanity will inevitably perish.


    Unfortunately, these newly-appearing Transformers quickly reached the end of their lives. Optimus Prime arrived at a critical moment, and after another shock and transformation, he almost evolved into the leader of the Autobots who destroyed the thief. No "wrong" novel" flame war knife, easily chopped their heads.


    Then Megatron discovered Optimus Prime, and the film ushered in a direct duel between the two leaders.


    The building was easily pierced by them, the car was smashed like a toy, and the lamppost collapsed like a domino. The combat effectiveness of the two leaders was indeed sturdy.


    Although Megatron should be stronger, Optimus Prime is not weak either. In the face of Megatron, it was not without the strength to fight back, and even once cut off Megatron''s shoulder armor with a war knife, but because of scruples of the humans who were running away, they were distracted. Megatron threw a sack, and Threw Fei knocked him down in front of a building.


    After the close combat strength of the competition, the two leaders competed for firepower. Megatron was clearly superior in this regard. After a hard shot against Optimus Prime, his hands turned into a laser cannon and blasted Optimus Prime into the air. Got out.


    The movie ends here. Michael Bay almost demolished a street in a district of Los Angeles.


    The battle is still going on, even if they are all supporting roles, the performance of the heroine and the sturdyness of the US military is also a scene that the audience loves to see. Even when driving, they don¡¯t forget to put a few **** Michaela, driving the trailer to drag the injured. The Hornet, along with Captain Renlocks'' team, got rid of the noise.


    On the other side, Sam has been driven to desperation by Megatron, who had gotten rid of Optimus Prime.


    The film will certainly not completely allow Transformers to play the leading role, properly expressing human determination and courage. It can make the film more popular with the audience. Faced with Megatron''s intimidation and temptation, Sam held the source of the fire and shouted out bravely--!


    Facing a desperate situation, the big boy exploded with all his courage, and then Megatron collapsed the building and fell to the ground like fallen leaves, but was rescued by Optimus Prime who happened to arrive.


    Optimus Prime vs Megatron, it''s not you who died. I live!


    "Sam, if I can''t kill Megatron, you will put the fire source in my chest and I will destroy it with my own life!"


    This occasion. Sam, as an ordinary person, also has a good chance of hiding aside.


    In the exciting soundtrack, the screen once again covered the screen, and the two leaders went to war again. Combat is still the most commonly used combat method in the battle between Transformers in this film-close hand-to-hand combat!


    Megatron braved the evil spirit, one hand turned into a huge scimitar with spikes, except for the flame war knife that popped out of Optimus Prime''s left hand. I also found the flame battle axe that has been used countless times in the cartoon from behind!


    The mutilation thief turned into a violent battle at this moment. The fight between Optimus Prime and Megatron was simple, rough, and direct. Under the knife and axe, the parts on the body collapsed, and the buildings on the street were smashed.


    Even if Megatron has a slight advantage, it is difficult to beat Optimus Prime...


    Another Decepticon was late in coming, vertigo rolled down from the air, and joined the battle group. The power in the field immediately changed. With one enemy and two Optimus Prime, he gradually lost his support and was knocked down several times. Ground.


    Megatron has a helper, and Optimus Prime is no exception, and the film has entered the US military moment again.


    Captain Renlocks launched a death charge with the help of motorcycles. The members of other special teams provided laser induction for the missiles launched by the f-22. The stun was hit hard by the most advanced fighter aircraft. The brave American captain also Between the dizzy legs, the armor-piercing projectile was sent into his body.


    The violent explosion temporarily interrupted the fierce fighting in the field. Optimus Prime, who was knocked to the ground before, took out the big gun from behind, and gave the most deadly blow to the stun. The shells he fired passed through the stun and were frustrated. The breastplate that -22 exploded and hit the transformer''s most deadly place-fire.


    On the other side, Starscream once again got rid of the entanglement of the two soy sauce crowds, Ironhide and the ambulance, flew into the sky and headed straight for the group of f-22 Raptor fighters, and took advantage of the camouflage to kill several.


    At this moment, the f-22 fleet fired missiles again, and the target was Megatron, who had just thrown Optimus Prime out!


    The leader of the Decepticon was instantly engulfed by explosions and flames, and the insidious and cunning Starscream chose to run away without hesitation.


    On the streets on the ground, although the continuous blows did not cause fatal injuries to Megatron, they exploded his solid breastplate and obviously weakened his combat effectiveness. When he again viciously rushed towards Optimus Prime, it was just In just a few rounds, he was put to the ground by Optimus Prime.


    The team of Captain Renlocks also surrounded him, and the armor-piercing shells hit Megatron one after another. Megatron, without any assistance, looked at Sam who was hiding behind a car.


    If he has a source of fire, he can make a large number of Transformers.


    Megatron gathered all the energy and released a shock wave that drove all humans and Optimus Prime to the ground, and rushed towards Sam, but at a critical moment, Optimus stood up and rushed over, cutting off Megatron with a blazing sword. A leg of the sky.


    Megatron threw himself down in front of Sam, "I''m going to kill you, poor reptile, the fire source is mine!"


    "Humans are not reptiles!"


    Staring at the weak Decepticon leader, Sam remembered what Optimus Prime had said about destroying the fire source. He lifted the fire source without hesitation and stuffed it into Megatron¡¯s cracked breastplate. The Decepticon leader of the first generation, after struggling again and again, finally did not escape the fate of death.


    "You forced me to have no choice, my brother."


    The red light in Megatron''s eyes disappeared completely after Optimus Prime who came by said this sentence.


    The lens deliberately gave a close-up of Optimus Prime¡¯s hand. He picked up a fragment of the fire source from Megatron¡¯s chest. Those who know the style of Hollywood filming will surely guess that this is the same as Megatron¡¯s corpse behind. Like being thrown into the sea, they are all paving the way for the sequel.


    The battle was over, the seventh district was disbanded, Starscream ran away, and of course the hero and the heroine must be together.


    Also, as in previous lives, Optimus Prime¡¯s speech must be indispensable at the end.


    "After the destruction of the fire source, our planet can no longer restore life, but fate has given us the best compensation, allowing us to find a new home."


    "We live with humans, hide among them, but silently follow them, wait for and protect them."


    "I have witnessed their bravery and fearlessness with my own eyes."


    "Even though we come from different worlds, we are all the same, far from what we see on the surface."


    "I''m Optimus Prime. I am here to summon all the Autobots in exile in the universe."


    "We are here, we are waiting."


    The 117-minute movie came to an end. Because many human scenes were excluded, the length of the movie was not too long, and it was also related to 3d. With the current 3d screen and 3d glasses, if the movie is too long, it will be extremely long. It may cause discomfort to the eyes of a considerable part of the audience after watching it. Controlling the length of the film is not only to make the rhythm more compact, but also to take care of the comfort of the audience.


    The applause erupted without any warning, and the chaos at the beginning instantly evolved into a surging wave of worship. At the seats of the ordinary audience in the back row, some cheers that Ryan couldn''t understand continued to be heard.


    The total length of the film''s full imax3d lens is as high as 30 minutes. In this era, it is definitely a big killer.


    "Very wonderful movie."


    "The visual effects are amazing."


    "If this is not a movie, I doubt if there will be a group of Transformers hidden around me."


    Those South Koreans who participated in the premiere, whether sincerely or out of courtesy, came to congratulate Ryan and Michael Bay one after another. Although some of the South Korean film directors have a faint sourness in their mouths, they also understand that this special effect is not a South Korean film. The industry can surpass in a short time.


    Subsequently, the main creative staff including Ryan and Michael Bay participated in a regular press conference. Like the interview on the red carpet, they only asked a few questions about "Transformers", and the South Korean reporter turned to it. South Korean movie above.


    Ryan and Michael Bay simply closed their mouths and stopped answering those weird questions. Instead, another executive producer arbitrarily pulled out the reasons to fool these self-confident sticks.


    After the premiere, Ryan had no intention of staying in South Korea at all, except for leaving Alessandala Ambrosio and Josh Duhamel to deal with the follow-up Far East propaganda. The Boeing plane returned directly to North America.


    Next, there will be the North American premiere at Hasbro headquarters in Rhode Island. "Transformers" will be screened globally on a huge scale before Thanksgiving.


    On November 23, the Hasbro headquarters in Rhode Island almost became a sea of ??Transformers. Various Transformers toys and models launched from the 1980s to the present day filled every inch of the makeshift premiere theater. Space, many of which are extremely rare limited editions, and a few have already sold tens of thousands of dollars on eBay before the live-action movie is about to come out.


    Although the ticket price for the premiere is high, it is hard to find a ticket. Those who can get the ticket for the premiere are definitely lucky. There are even Transformers fans who fly over from Europe to attend the premiere, just to witness their childhood. The beloved toy appeared vividly on the big screen.


    Of course, the more nostalgic people are, the more they will feel that their childhood memories have been destroyed after watching a movie. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 747： You suck, but i still love you

    After leaving an imax3d cinema in New Orleans, Irene gently rubbed his eyes and walked into the parking lot. He found the Camaro sports car that was mortgaged only last month and drove in the direction of home. He was so fast that he almost arrived. He reached the limit of the speed limit because he was eager to go back, eager to share his excitement and joy with others.


    After returning home, Irene sat in front of the computer for the first time. After logging into Disney-Ryan Family Online, he clicked on the column belonging to "Transformers".


    Fortunately, he can be regarded as one of the first people in North America to see the film. Now the Internet is still quiet, and Irun quickly typed a line of letters.


    "When I learned that Ryan chose Michael Bay to shoot "Transformers", I was as sorry as countless people, because this guy who can only make an explosion can make an epic movie, I I really doubt it, and even I am worried about whether this director, who has always been unable to control the excellent plot, can provide us with a vivid and tortuous story."


    "But now I understand that I was wrong. I went to the cinema to watch "Transformers" for Autobots and Decepticons, for explosions, for stimulating my visual and auditory nerves, all connotations and philosophies."


    "From the above point of view, Ryan definitely found the right person. What Michael Bay is best at is explosions! If I am still unsatisfied with Ryan and Michael Bay after watching the movie today, it will only be on the screen. There are not enough Transformers on the show!"


    "The special effects of "Transformers" are too good. If this movie is on the top of the list of special effects, the special effects of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "Jurassic Park 3" released this summer can only draw circles on the side steps. For the circle, this is basically a two-level effect. "Transformers" makes me hard to believe that these big guys are made with computers."


    "Stop talking about the squares in the cartoons. Although this is our childhood memory, I really can¡¯t imagine the effect of putting those squares in this movie. Don¡¯t watch a few stills. Just yell these broken bronze iron elephant skeletons and the like, because you can feel the shock of these "broken bronze iron" on the screen. If you are not an animated version of absolutely conservative dead fans, then I can guarantee you I will definitely accept these so-called broken coppers in the film."


    "This film is not meant to tell the audience about life or to pretend to be connotations. This film has only two purposes. First, to make money in your pocket, and second, to make you feel good after spending the money. I just came out of the theater, What I saw was that most of the audience who walked into the movie theater felt cool, and they were not as addictive as me. I plan to contribute to the box office for the second time tomorrow."


    After uploading his own feelings to the website, Yilun refreshed the page, and it already showed other people''s feelings about the movie.


    "It''s over, I''m irrational again."


    "For the classic "Transformers", even if the premiere is a bunch of posters, there will be fanatical fans who are excited and shocked. Therefore, the schedule of the theater I went to showed that almost all the films were given to "Transformers." I was pretending to be calm, but I lost my mind at the beginning of the film."


    "The film can only be described as stunningly gorgeous. When the mechanical sounds of the deformation sounded one after another, the entire theater was suffocated..."


    "Finally, I love Ryan and Michael Bay."


    The day after the film was released was the traditional Thanksgiving holiday in North America. On this Thanksgiving Day, "Transformers" simply cannot find a competitor of the same level. The pg-13 rating of the film is enough to ensure that most families can enter the theater as a group. The 3d tickets are a bit nervous, but they can always be bought in line. The imax hall is almost full. Tickets for this weekend have been booked early.


    "I called to book tickets yesterday and found out that the tickets for the imax version were gone. I finally got the tickets for the 3d version, and it was still midnight."


    Complaints like this are endless on the Internet.


    However, compared to the 3d and imax versions of the film, the ordinary 2d version is not particularly powerful, and the attendance rate is not too high, which affects the film''s box office to a certain extent.


    But even so, the film took away $58.5 million in the box office from North America on Friday, becoming the second highest single-day box office score in North America after "The Hunger Games" of $67.26 million. It is also Michael ?Bei''s best single-day box office results.


    The smooth start of "Transformers" did not make Disney relax the rhythm of publicity. Once the promotional and marketing expenses of 130 million U.S. dollars, Disney still held close to 35 million U.S. dollars in its hands at this time. After the film was released simultaneously worldwide, it was accompanied by a After one promotion, the funds were thrown out one after another.


    The Internet is now an important propaganda front. Just after the film premiere, Disney launched an activity on the Internet-Transformers, our collective memory!


    Looking at those familiar old pictures and fresh movie styles evoked memories of countless people.


    "Seeing the pictures of "Transformers" posted in the 1980s, I feel so kind, reminding me of my childhood! Only those who have experienced our time can experience the resonance of "Transformers" in our hearts. It is a part of our childhood, and now this part appears in a more realistic image!"


    "At that time, I hated being called the Bumblebee. Everyone was vying to be Megatron, and it seemed that the Decepticons were much more popular than the Autobots. Maybe the Autobots won every time and were not so open and upright. They were all directors. For your help, many of my peers around me have learned to say in Megatron''s tone-the enemy has been spotted, ready to launch!"


    "The newer and higher-tech movie version is very good-looking, but for me, only the oldest version of Transformers that I watched as a child is worthy of our memory just now. The awkward lines and the somewhat outdated movements make me double. Feeling cordial."


    "Transformers" came out for so many years, and it has cultivated a large number of fans in North America, just like the "Los Angeles Times" said.


    "As an emotional bond connecting a generation born in the 1970s and 1980s, the status of "Transformers" is particularly prominent. Therefore, there are now Transformers fan clubs, Transformers annual meetings, and online fan exchange activities, and these are enough for "Transformers" "Transformers" live-action movie provides the most basic audience."


    On Saturday, the popularity of the film declined slightly. The 3d and imax versions still maintained a high attendance rate, while the number of viewers of the 2d film declined faster.


    The North American box office on this day, as Ryan predicted, there has been a certain degree of decline, but the box office of $51.5 million in a single day has successfully pushed the North American box office of "Transformers" to the $100 million mark.


    Compared to the good reputation among ordinary movie fans, the film has been criticized unanimously by critics.


    "Although producer Ryan Jenkins and director Michael Bay have ways to make toys and action scenes, they don¡¯t have the outstanding talents to redeem human lives. The story of "Transformers" on earth is boring and surprisingly There is no vitality. Generally speaking, this is a film full of epic noise and nonsense."


    It is strange that this type of film can be liked by the old film critics. A film that has been unanimously praised by them has not seen such a terrifying one-day box office.


    Of course, it is impossible for any film to be liked by everyone, even some ordinary viewers, after watching the film, find it not that interesting.


    "The biggest feeling after watching the film is dizziness and confusion! Except for Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, I can''t distinguish the shapes of other robots, let alone call out their names! I just feel the war between them¡ª ¡ªChaos! I can¡¯t see who fights who and how. It feels better for people and robots to fight. Because I¡¯m not a fan of Transformers, and I¡¯ve never watched anime, so I¡¯d like to ask if Autobots can only become cars? How can they turn into airplane tanks?"


    "Also, the plot of the film is too simple and thin. I originally watched the film because of Ryan. It turned out that he was not the protagonist at all. He was just a supporting role partner for a group of robots. In short, villain robots, decent robots, and human roles. It¡¯s all very simple. I think if the human being is designed to be infinitely big, trying to master and control all Transformers, but in the end eats its own fruit, the theme may be more profound."


    Even viewers who did not like this type of film made sharp comments after watching "Transformers."


    "It feels like "Transformers" is a special effects show. I don''t have any special feelings for Transformers, and I''m not interested in blockbuster movies at all, so it feels very ordinary."


    "According to the usual rhythm of Ryan Jenkins'' commercial films, if the funds are sufficient, he and Michael Bay may delete the content of human beings. Only the Decepticons are going to invade the earth and the Autobots will protect~www.novelhall .com~ Then from the Pentagon to the Panama Canal, and then into the Pacific..."


    "In this way, the whole film is performing special effects, changing and playing, and humans are just thrown stones in it, so it must be more beautiful to play for two hours!"


    More and more people commented on "Transformers". Ryan simply jumped out and posted an article on his blog and Facebook.


    "This is a movie with our childhood dreams. "Transformers" has fulfilled a real dream of us. The moment when Transformers are transformed most, high technology will always be the driving force for the beautification of the movie. I look forward to the second one..."


    In the eyes of some Transformers fans, the film fulfilled their dreams; in the eyes of others, the film destroyed their childhood memories.


    But except for a few die-hards, the vast majority of Transformers fans still walked into the theater again and again.


    In fact, Michael Bay¡¯s words during the interview were the most representative, ¡°The audience¡¯s evaluations are very inconsistent. Some people say that I have realized their childhood dreams, some directly call me unreliable, and some audiences say to me-you suck. , But I still love you. (To be continued...)()

 Chapter 48： Everyone is a film critic

    Time flies, the children of the past have grown up and even got married, but in the minds of many people, they still have a place for their childhood friends "Transformers".


    Since the 1990s, with the maturity of the enthusiast population and the successive launch of new toy series, the activities of Transformers fans around the world have gradually heated up. As early as 1994, the first Transformers Year The meeting was held in the United States and then evolved into an annual event.


    This event is also the most concentrated event for Transformers fans in the world.


    Their enthusiasm for the Transformers series can be imagined, so after the live-action movie was released, these people have become the most ardent fans of the film, and the group that complains the most on the Internet.


    For Ryan and Michael Bay, who destroyed their childhood memories, the phrase "You suck, but we still love you" is undoubtedly the best description.


    After all, Ryan and Bangbei have put their favorite toys and images on the big screen with almost real design and shooting. The film has almost done the existing movies except for the images of the two robots. The limits of technology, it is no exaggeration to say that "Transformers" embodies the most advanced movie special effects technology in Hollywood and even the world.


    Whether to love more or hate more, I am afraid that most of the die-hard fans themselves can¡¯t tell. They only do one thing, buy tickets and enter the theater, watching their childhood friends deform in the most authentic way before their eyes. ...


    Then, buy tickets again and enter the theater. Fans watch the movie over and over again, study each of the slow motions to figure out the deformation process, the details of the fight, etc., and then enjoy it. Talk about it and have great enthusiasm for related derivative products...


    This is also one of the biggest reasons why the box office has soared after the release of "Transformers".


    Although the first three days in North America are not over yet, in fact, everyone can see that the great success of "Transformers" is inevitable, but those who are destined to be marginalized are not willing to turn into the dust of history.


    "Film critics have a function, which is to avoid excessive commercialization of films and sell cheap fun."


    This is the resounding slogan that Roger Albert shouted, under such a dignified cover. Those film critics who are unwilling to be abandoned by the market have begun a new round of criticism of Transformers.


    "As an audience, if you want to accept those incredible fictions temporarily, you have to throw your mind away before you can enjoy the "Transformers" live-action movie-this movie has no logic at all, and you like to show off offensive. Sexual shots are too long, and at the same time are full of countless mv image styles and narrative issues, so it will never be a truly excellent movie."


    ¡ª¡ªDavid Denby


    "This film is noisy, stupid, naive, rude, and often cynicism. It cannot be a fair representation of the cartoon series that grew up with most children, so "Transformers" will not bring any enjoyment. If someone is unfortunate to watch With this film, I will never be interested in this series again."


    ¡ª¡ªJr? Jones


    Although Ryan passed some means. It limits the chances of Roger Albert''s column appearing in front of the public, but in this country known as freedom of speech, it is not a simple matter to want the other party to be completely silent.


    This man thinks that professional film critics are the main indicator of the success of a film. For the benefit of myself and even the industry, I still try my best to make my own voice.


    Roger Albert listed a series of unbearable flaws in "Transformers" in his eyes.


    "Arbitrary sexism is everywhere. In the "Transformers" series, sexism and intuitive objectification of women are very common. As the heroine, Alexandra Ambrosio frequently displays sexual suggestion, although Michael Bay and her portrayal of the heroine was minimal, but they have always been talked about."


    "Laughable product placements are everywhere. Although considering the importance of cars under the premise of the movie, GM''s placement of ads still makes sense, but throughout the movie, placement of ads has already exceeded the standard. From technology, beverages, to underwear, fashion and almost all consumables that humans may use, it is pervasive. This is not only ridiculous, but a complete insult to the audience and the art of film."


    "The plot is not worth mentioning. The plot of this movie is easy to forget, and there is no logic at all, so that it is difficult to distinguish from each other, because the plot can basically be boiled down to-the badass robot wants to kill the decent Robots and any human beings that get in the way."


    If judged according to the opinions of so-called professionals such as Roger Albert, "Transformers" is definitely a total failure. No audience likes it, and no audience is willing to pay for it. The film''s box office can definitely be Disney''s cry.


    But actually?


    Although the number of attendances for one day on Sunday was still declining, at the end of the week, "Transformers" took $153.55 million from North America and won the first week of box office for the best single film in North America this year.


    On the first three days of the week, nearly 18 million people in North America entered the theaters to watch "Transformers."


    People always have their own positions, and the words of professionals will be affected by their positions, but the statistics are the most intuitive. The box office and the number of movie viewers in the first week are enough to prove how far professional film critics are from the public today.


    After the film was released in North America, Ryan also followed the crew and carried out routine publicity work for several stops. During the period, the reporter naturally asked about his views on critics criticizing "Transformers."


    "All the crew and I worked as hard as we could. I am very happy to see that the audience except the critics likes this film. Let us ignore those critics. Can they represent the audience? No! So! , The first thing I want to make a movie is to make the audience like it."


    In the face of many media, Ryan¡¯s words are relatively polite, ¡°In North America, the concept of free market is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If the audience does not like a film, they will not invest a cent on it, but the current situation is , Most viewers obviously like "Transformers" very much."


    Because he wanted to take into account his image as a public figure, Ryan''s counterattack was only a stop, but the major media affiliated to Disney began to fight back fiercely against the most well-known group of old film critics.


    The "Annie Talk Show", which has become the trump card of the TV station, invited Kenneth Turan, a veteran film critic of the "Los Angeles Times", to discuss the industry of exposing film critics with host Antonia Kidman.


    "Despite the fierce criticism from film critics, most of the audience still flocked to the cinema to watch the "Transformers" live-action movie. This fact is the main reason why the critics became angry at this film and began to criticize more strongly because of their comments. Ignored by the public."


    As a veteran in this industry, Kenneth Turan analyzed the mentality of the old film critics, "They are a group of people who live in the past. The times have changed, but they have not changed. They still think that they are the center of the film industry. A film review can determine the life or death of a movie. It is always taken for granted to choose movies for all audiences in the United States according to their own ideas, and want to influence what kind of movie they should watch, what kind of movie should not be watched ."


    "But now the information is more free. The newly-grown generation will not trust any professionals when choosing movies. They will buy tickets according to their own preferences. It is unceremonious to say that film critics are an industry that is rapidly declining. "


    "It is precisely this situation that has caused dissatisfaction among many film critics. They began to change their previous relatively fair position. They always wanted to point fingers at young audiences. They should have objectively commented on the film itself. The audience''s conflict. It''s just because they abandon the film angle, take themselves as the correct standard, and attack the preferences of young audiences aloof."


    "Actually, these film critics are no longer worthy of our attention. They are hardly''reviewing movies''", they are just''screaming hard'', wanting to regain their status as film critics ten or even twenty years ago. . "


    In the end, Kenneth Turan said in conclusion, "The profession of film critics may decline, but this industry will not, because with the help of online platforms, the future will inevitably evolve into the era of''everyone is a film critic''."


    The talk show was not only rebroadcasted several times in a short period of time by TV stations, but also appeared on several network platforms including it. On Facebook, which has an increasing number of users, it is also one of the most shared video entries.


    What Disney has done is not only the voices from high-end interviews , but also the foundation of the film industry-the general audience.


    The four largest survey consulting agencies in the United States, including Ryan¡¯s company, conducted a four-day statistical survey in the four most famous theaters in the United States, and this one was directly named "Will you be based on well-known film critics? After the publication of the survey results of "People''s film critics to choose films", the well-known film critics were placed in an extremely embarrassing position.


    Survey results published in many mainstream media show that 84%, 79%, 81%, and 82% of the audience who completely ignored film critics in the four theaters.


    The audiences who said that they really chose films based on the reviews of well-known film critics were 2.3%, 1.9%, 2.2%, and 1.3%, and almost all of them It is an audience over thirty-five years old.


    This method of making public the real influence of the group of well-known film critics is Ryan''s counterattack, and at the same time reminding other companies in Hollywood that if there are any secret transactions with those film critics, there is no need to conduct a deal. Go on, because that''s just a waste of dollars.


    I just don¡¯t know if those film critics understand the meaning of the term ¡°salary draw from the bottom¡± across the ocean. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 749： Transformers in China

    This survey has been reprinted by the media on various platforms, and there are endless negative news about professional film critics. There is also a tabloid tone that the old film critics who commented on the past can''t even be relatively fair. They participate every time. The preview will always accept the benefits of the producers and distributors, advocate for their films, and at the same time strike at other competitors, even the most famous film critics, and secretly accept gifts from several parties...


    "Hollywood Reporter" also quoted the person in charge of the distribution department of a production company-in the past, every time we released a new film, we always had to set aside a special public relations fee. Professional film critics, especially the most well-known ones Position is the focus of this expenditure. If this work is not done well, after the film is released, it will definitely trigger a wave of bad reviews.


    Another reporter accidentally caught James Cameron and asked him what he thought of the film critics. This set tyrant who was almost ridiculed by the film critics as the world''s biggest stupid before the release of "Titanic", used a very disdainful tone. Said-professional film critics are a group of moths parasitic on the film industry!


    Whether it is the disdain of industry insiders or the criticism from the mainstream media, the position of the old film critics who have been calling the wind and rain is even more embarrassing than before. Perhaps the tabloids attacking them for shady transactions are too exaggerated, but authenticity is not important at all. The important thing is that their remaining influence among ordinary audiences is about to collapse.


    Faced with such public criticism, the voices of film critics are like the views of ordinary audiences on the film more than a decade ago, completely overwhelmed.


    As the most famous professional film critic in the United States, Roger Albert once again stood up and stopped this criticism from continuing to expand in a unique way.


    His spokesperson announced that Roger Albert was admitted to the hospital for arterial problems and might even face the end of his career.


    The North American media suddenly became much quieter, and Good Multimedia no longer participated in this controversy. It is no secret that Roger Albert is facing the threat of cancer.


    Regardless of whether things are true or false. This is definitely a beautiful crisis PR.


    Ryan didn''t mean to kill them all. After all, the other party was a person who could see God with half of his eye. As long as he stopped making remarks like calling the audience not to watch "Transformers" in the future, he would not bother to pay attention to these people.


    If the other party is still like this time and unscrupulously touches Disney''s interests, even if he does not take action, Disney''s management will overwhelm the other party with more turbulent public opinion.


    This is a country of freedom of speech. Disney will not prevent Roger Albert from expressing his views, but it can always let its own media express some of Roger Albert''s views, right?


    Such controversy is not without benefits. Hype is an indispensable part of propaganda. Appropriate topical enthusiasm can always make the film attract more audiences. Although the attendance rate of "Transformers" has been declining, it has stabilized at a number.


    Before the second weekend when the film was released in North America, "Transformers" took only seven days, and the North American box office successfully exceeded $200 million!


    North America is only part of the simultaneous global release. It was also this week. "Transformers" won a total of US$210.05 million in overseas box offices in 98 other countries and regions except North America. The seven-day global box office totaled more than 4 One hundred million U.S. dollars!


    Although this number is not comparable to the "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "Jurassic Park 3" that were simultaneously released globally in the summer. But don¡¯t forget, this is not a sequel, but the opening of a series.


    The following second weekend, "Transformers" received another $69 million in North America. The North American box office totaled 269.89 million U.S. dollars. The overseas market is even hotter, with more than 100 million U.S. dollars in the account. The global box office of the film is infinitely close to 600 million U.S. dollars.


    of course. Like all commercial movies, after the first ten days of the hottest, the box office growth rate of "Transformers" slowed down across the board.


    but. There is one exception, where the enthusiasm for the "Transformers" series, in some ways, even overwhelmed North America.


    That is China on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.


    Regarding the influence of the "Transformers" series in China, Ryan is naturally very clear that Disney''s Far East Branch has also made great efforts in marketing with the film distributor China Film Group.


    "About 1990, China''s major TV stations introduced and broadcast "Transformers." Since then, many Chinese children have forged an indissoluble bond with Transformers."


    "In those good times, our eyes were full of bright colors, dazzling deformations; ears were full of mechanical friction sounds, rhythmic rock music; magical sci-fi concepts, endless scientific and technological terms made the little brains in front of the TV Fully running; in those times, we have all become small spectators next to the big stage of the universe. From the contests between righteousness and evil, beauty and ugliness, good and evil, we have gained all kinds of feelings of joy, anger, sorrow and joy."


    "Magnificent imagination, vivid story, excellent production, and exquisite translation make "Transformers" perfectly integrated into our childhood life and become an indelible classic in memories."


    Two months before the film¡¯s release, the distributor, China Film Group, began a publicity campaign with ¡®Nostalgia¡¯ as one of the themes.


    Disney''s Far East Branch also launched the "Transformers Essay" event. The 20 winners not only received limited editions of Optimus Prime and Megatron, but also participated in the Spring Camp organized by Disney for free and went directly to Rhode Island. Visit to the Transformers base.


    The two parties also cooperated with many theater chains such as Wanda, New Film Federation and New Century to launch a special exhibition of "Transformers" for 20 years. Hundreds of new and classic versions of toys are available for movie fans to try and sell, including Hasbro provides several limited editions that have been discontinued. In addition, it also specially launched many discounts and measures such as half price for students, half price for the first and last games, etc., to attract more fans into the theater.


    Due to the simultaneous global release, the release time of "Transformers" is neither a hot summer file nor a unique Lunar New Year file. It seems to affect the box office to a certain extent, but Disney and China Film Group are targeted The propaganda, but easily evoked the memories of the group of people in the 70s and 80s, and these people are now the main consumer group in the Chinese film market.


    Similarly, there is no rival that can compete with "Transformers" at this time.


    In the mainstream cinemas in many first-tier cities, there is one "Transformers" in half an hour. Even in Disney¡¯s partner Wanda Cinemas, the first week¡¯s interval is only fifteen minutes, and the filming rate is as high as 15 minutes. Eighty percent.


    As a result, "Transformers" have broken the record of the Chinese film market, which is almost a matter of course.


    On the first day of the film, it received RMB 32.41 million in China, which was the highest single-day box office of Chinese films since statistics. The box office on the second day easily broke this record. RMB 39.75 million was for the Chinese film market of this era. Said, it can only be described as madness.


    Subsequently, the film broke 100 million RMB on the first three days of the week. This is the highest single-week box office record and the fastest breaking speed of 100 million yuan in the Chinese market. "Has become the most successful imported film in the Chinese film market.


    The record-breaking performance of the film immediately sparked a stir in the Chinese media, and the attention of the media attracted a large number of audiences to enter the theater. If the first week of the film was more supported by steel wires from China, many audiences who entered subsequently, It has nothing to do with nostalgia.


    "Transformers" will be the overall champion of the Chinese film market this year. It is full of all the elements of imported blockbuster films, especially the embodiment of high-tech, and has a strong shock. It not only satisfies the deformation complex of the generation after 80s. Under this powerful influence and news attention, it has attracted the attention of more fashion groups."


    This comment from the official media on the other side of the Pacific is undoubtedly the best summary of the Transformers boom in China.


    In order to promote the film, Disney and the China Film Group took great pains. For example, Optimus Prime used the free-fighting fighting method to pay tribute to Chinese Kungfu during the production of the film. Gao''s actress and so on.


    "I feel very shocked. It is mainly special effects. I was stunned by a lot of ideas. The movie can be made like this, and visually such a movie can''t be critical." A male movie fan said in an interview, "Now domestic films and The ticket prices of imported blockbuster movies are not low, and I think it¡¯s more cost-effective to spend money to watch movies produced by Hollywood, especially Disney."


    Taking advantage of the popularity of the film Disney has also cooperated with several websites in China to jointly launch the Transformers film image selection activity, which has aroused many people''s responses.


    For example, the most handsome look is given to Optimus Prime-this one has to be Optimus Prime, which combines **** and mighty, especially the deformation and random combat mode that finally arrived at the battle scene. The starting style is handsome. .


    The best decoration belongs to the ambulance-the body of the Hummer, the life of the nurse, it is a pity that the figure is so aggressive, but there are not many opportunities to show off his skills in a few cuts, and the most terrible thing is that he did not show him. This medical officer can be perfunctory enough to be a medical officer.


    And the smartest King Kong is none other than Starscream. He seized the opportunity to sneak attack and escape from everything. Starscream was still so arrogant and cunning from the TV screen to the movie screen.


    What Ryan has learned is the same as in the previous life. It is only because of his promotion in this life that the number of screens on the opposite side has relatively increased. "Transformers" is more attractive at the Chinese box office.


    Like other imported films, "Transformers" did not get the key to the extension of a certain game, and was dropped from China a month later, and became the box office champion in Chinese film history. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 750： Lucrative

    As time has just entered 2007, China Film Group transferred a total of US$13.75 million in the box office share of "Transformers" to Disney Pictures. This quarter of the box office share is not too much, even overseas. In the box office split, none of them accounted for the top five.


    However, no one can ignore the rapid expansion of the Chinese film market. You must know that two years ago, most Hollywood companies set $10 million as the box office target of those super commercial masterpieces entering China. What about now?


    "Transformers" took 55 million U.S. dollars in the box office from China, which is close to 430 million RMB at the current exchange rate. This is already the highest box office record in the Chinese film market since statistics.


    The huge population base, hundreds of millions of potential consumers, fast-growing theater chains, and its own extremely backward film industry are almost the ideal dumping ground for Hollywood movies.


    It is a pity that it is not easy to enter this market. The negotiations between China and the United States on the supplementary terms of the memorandum of WTO films and cultural products have been fruitless.


    After all, the bureaucratic group here is not stupid. If the market is excessively liberalized at this time, the Chinese film industry is bound to be smashed by Hollywood films, and even like European films, they can only survive in the cracks.


    Fortunately, Disney¡¯s films in recent years have basically been able to make a profit from the Chinese box office. The box office that is divided is also the money after China Film deducts the publicity fee and taxes.


    "Transformers" has been released in North America for more than a month. After the box office exceeded 350 million U.S. dollars, it can only rely on the box office of less than 10 million U.S. dollars a week. Offline, the global box office has reached 790 million US dollars.


    Whether the film can finally hit the world''s $1 billion box office depends on the market response of dozens of countries and regions that will join the screening.


    In the past month, Transformers temporarily surpassed Barbie and became the most popular toy in the United States. More than 10 years ago, Transformers were all the rage. This time, with the craze of the movie version of "Transformers", Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Megatron made a comeback.


    According to statistics from Disney and the North American Theater Alliance, since the screening of "Transformers", each theater has sold an average of about 2,500 Transformers toy models, and the revenue of a single theater in this area alone is as high as 150,000 US dollars.


    Derivative product development is the general trend of Hollywood movies, and toy movies like "Transformers" are no exception.


    Although the copyright of the toy belongs to Hasbro, according to the agreement signed by the two parties in the early years, Disney can allocate 30% of the profit of each toy related to the movie. For other image and text authorization, Disney, as the copyright owner of the movie, can share 70% of the profits.


    In addition to traditional peripheral products such as toys, dolls, stationery and cultural shirts that are indispensable for each movie, Disney has also launched Transformers novels and photo series. Sales are also good. In just one month, it sold more than 100. Million copies.


    Of course, the most popular among them must be related products of Optimus Prime.


    "Kind and brave, he is the incarnation of justice."


    "Have great endurance, impact, and optimism."


    "When others are in danger, he will definitely sacrifice his life to save him..."


    The Autobot leader Optimus Prime in the film is actually a symbol of the so-called American spirit, and won unanimous praise from the audience, not only that. Optimus Prime is also an idol worshipped by many "little audiences".


    "My son likes Optimus Prime, so I bought him a leader-level toy model, and as soon as he got it, he immediately took it apart and played with it. Very happy."


    This is what a parent who took children to watch a movie said, very representative and positive energy Optimus Prime. It is undoubtedly the best gift a parent can give to a child.


    In particular, there is Christmas in the middle. According to a North American media report, during the 2006 Christmas period, the Transformers toy model became the most photographed Christmas gift among many families in North America.


    The Internet is also a sales channel that cannot be ignored. Websites such as eBay and Amazon have opened Transformers sales areas. Various peripheral products in the play have become hot sellers on the Internet. Around Christmas and New Year, the value of 99 US dollars is also inscribed. The leader-level Optimus Prime model of''freedom belongs to all beings'' has already topped the sales charts of these two websites.


    However, in just over a month, Disney has received more than 150 million U.S. dollars in revenue from peripherals and other licenses, and this number is bound to increase over time.


    In addition, Disney will also develop the game "Transformers: Battle for Cybertron" based on the worldview of the movie; and Disney TV will soon launch an animated series called "Transformers: Proof of Leader". .


    There are also numerous sponsors that benefit, such as Chevrolet¡¯s Camaro sports car is one of the most popular sports cars in North America; such as the ct sunglasses worn by Alexandra Ambrosio as the heroine in the movie. , The price is as high as 38 US dollars, after the film was released, it became a hot product.


    A super selling movie can always create countless business opportunities.


    As the popularity of the film continues to rise, Disney also announced its future disc plans.


    The Blu-ray DVD discs of "Transformers" will be officially released in North America in April. This is not a simple director''s cut version. In order to attract fans to buy, Disney has added a lot of content.


    It includes a commentary by the director Michael Bay on the film, an in-depth expansion of the human perspective of the "Transformers" film, and an introduction to the process of making Transformers virtual images; Ryan will talk about his fascination and understanding of Transformers in it , The original idea of ??the film, the filming process, how to turn Hasbro¡¯s iconic toy into a living action hero on the screen, and discussions with Michael Bay and the digital engineers of Industrial Light & Magic, etc.


    Some interesting tidbits, such as the Transformers Cultural Crash Training Course, Transformers Cultural Consultants, and the military''s rental of real guns to help film the movie will also be introduced in detail.


    What can attract loyal Transformers fans even more is that the DVD also shows behind-the-scenes sketches of major action scenes in the movie, such as the scene of the Thacker Giant and other Decepticons attacking the Decepticons. It will show fans the director''s ideas and screenwriter. Step by step, how the idea of ??the movie has become a staggeringly tense shot on the screen.


    In addition to the above filming related content, "Transformers" DVD also specially prepared a special gift-Transformers characters online interaction.


    Consumers can connect to the Internet through discs, see the famous Transformers characters constantly updated by the "Autobot" studio, and see the characters and weapons of various Transformers, their power attributes and appearances through the "Transformers Intelligence Mode" Update.


    The most important thing is that the Autobot studio will update the image of the two newly added King Kong in the second part on this system as soon as possible. Even the disc has horizontal guns, sound waves, robot dogs and Al Akane''s conceptual modeling.


    Shortening the time it takes for movies to enter home entertainment from theaters has always been the focus of Walt Disney''s business operations, and online pre-sales are undoubtedly one of the best ways to achieve it.


    With the help of the enthusiasm of movies that has not faded, Disney launched a huge media promotion for the pre-sale of DVDs, which is unique in the history of the company¡¯s distribution. The cost of the promotion is as high as three million US dollars, covering TV, radio, print media and Internet media.


    The marketing also provides some interesting mini games for consumers. For example, fans of "Transformers" can customize a message sent by "Optimus Prime" for their friends online, and send it to friends via SMS or email.


    Cooperative promotion partners-Chevrolet Auto and McDonald''s will also promote the pre-sales and distribution of DVDs through their channels. Every buyer of "Transformers" DVDs will have the opportunity to obtain three specially customized "Bumblebee" sections from Chevrolet. One of the Myro sports cars...


    In just over a week after the pre-sale was released, the number of DVD pre-sales for "Transformers" reached 6 million, which is infinitely close to the total sales figure of 7.3 million for the 2006 DVD sales champion "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors".


    You know, the latter''s discs have been on sale for three months, and if you count the online pre-sales, it will take longer.


    Although there is still some time before the DVDs are officially launched, many media and professional organizations have begun to predict that the DVDs of "Transformers" will inevitably create new records of weekly sales and total sales of North American discs, and a weekly sales breakthrough at the time of release. Ten million is not impossible.


    Disney¡¯s price for the deluxe disc set is US$39.9, and the regular version is US$19.9. The North American market alone will bring a huge amount of income to Disney even if Hasbro wants it. Share 30% of the profits, but Disney''s "Transformers" in the next few months can only be described as profitable.


    Besides, this is only North America, and Disney¡¯s authorization transfer negotiations with many countries and regions around the world are coming to an end.


    Even if the box office is not counted, Disney''s profit in peripheral products in the next year is expected to be at least US$400 million.


    As a commercial director, Michael Bay completely turned over and once again stood in the ranks of Hollywood''s top commercial film directors. As the parent company of "Transformers", Hasbro regretted the company''s two relaunch series too early. The adaptation rights were sold to Ryan...


    That is, in January after the New Year, Hasbro proposed to buy back the adaptation rights of "Special Forces" at a double price. At the same time, they almost finalized another toy series "Super Battleship" with Universal Pictures as quickly as possible. "The film adaptation plan.


    Ryan¡¯s reply is simple. There is no problem in repurchasing the film adaptation rights of "Special Forces", but the two parties have to make some changes to the "Transformers" peripheral sharing agreement... (to be continued...) ()

 Chapter 751： Important derivatives market

    After Hasbro filed a repurchase application for the "Special Forces" film adaptation rights, Jenkins Pictures started negotiations with him. Ryan does not have to hold on to this series. Just like "Transformers", "Special Forces" originally The cartoon was also shot to promote the toy. The difference is that the influence of this series is a bit worse.


    Even if it is made into a movie, the bulk of "Special Forces" revenue is probably still on toys. According to the agreement signed at the time, his income from toys must be limited.


    If the peripheral income is not strong, and the movie box office is expected to be profitable, it is too difficult for this kind of film whose total investment is definitely more than 200 million US dollars.


    Surroundings are the focus of profitability, even the box office "Transformers" is not listed.


    In countries and regions that emphasize copyright protection, the authorized transfer of "Transformers" can be sold at high prices without too much effort, while in those countries where piracy is rampant, income is much more limited.


    For example, China.


    Although China''s copyright protection has made great progress in the past few years, piracy is still flooding all corners of the cultural market. The Chinese copyright transfer of "Transformers" DVDs has been greatly impacted.


    After nearly a month of negotiations, Disney''s Far East branch reached an agreement with an audiovisual publishing company in Gwangju, and the other party obtained the copyright of the DVD at a price of RMB 16 million.


    In the past few years, it has been difficult to sell the DVD and other audio-visual copyrights of Disney-produced movies at ideal prices in China. The DVD copyright of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", which this company bought at a high price a few years ago, is said to have not yet returned. this¡­¡­


    The reason why film can become a pillar cultural industry is that its value is not only reflected on the screen, but beyond the screen, the value that film brand marketing and copyright development can create is even more impressive.


    At present, most of the focus of the Chinese market on movies is still on the box office, relatively neglecting the important stage of movie derivative products, and there is almost no combined development of the mass cultural consumer market.


    There are many factors such as irregular market development, endless piracy, low-grade products, and no collection value. As a result, the development of China''s film peripheral market has been slow.


    These Ryan are very clear that the comprehensive development of the Chinese film market is definitely not an overnight effort. Even in his last year, more than 90% of the film revenue on the Chinese market still came from the box office.


    Generally speaking, the Hollywood film industry belongs to the big film industry, while China and the film industry in the next ten years can only be limited to the small film industry with the box office as the main income.


    If the film derivative industry wants to develop, it must have a developed film industry and a broad public base. This is an internal factor. The external factors of the Chinese market are complicated.


    Disney''s Far East branch has done some investigations in these areas, and also submitted a report for Ryan and other Disney decision-makers, which summarized two main external reasons.


    The first is that the government''s market management is not in place, resulting in insufficient copyright protection, and the film''s post-theatre market loses value; the second is the insufficient opening of the big cultural ranks, which makes it difficult for film companies to integrate horizontally with radio and television, the Internet and other cultural ranks, and the effect of scale economies is difficult appear.


    For Disney, which has gone all out to develop the Chinese market after joining Ryan, this is a huge film and television derivative market. It''s just a piece of fat that can be seen and touched, but just couldn''t eat it.


    Frankly speaking, Disney''s management is a bit anxious, but Ryan reminded them on the routine board. The Chinese market has unlimited potential. To tap these potentials into sufficient profits, what Disney needs most is patience.


    As a worker at the bottom of the film industry in his previous life. Ryan knows that the opposite government has never stopped reforming the film industry, and it is the all-round reforms in the past few years that have brought the Chinese film market from a dying battle. It has become a super potential market with an annual box office growth rate of over 25%.


    Ryan has been pushing the federal government to strive for more benefits for his films in the WTO negotiations. It is precisely because he knows that the film industry is a demonstration of the entire cultural industry reform of the opposing government. It is entirely possible to use some hidden external factors to speed it up slightly. This process.


    In the future, among all cultural industries in China, almost the entire industry chain will be open to the society in the film industry, with the highest degree of marketization.


    The bureaucratic class on the opposite side has concentrated most of the elites in that country. It is definitely one of the most savvy groups in the world today. The frequent death of the Chinese film industry in the 1990s will definitely make them understand the simplest truth- Without audiences, there would be no market, without audiences, there would be no film industry, and without film industry, there would be no truly diverse film culture. Films would only be reduced to government-sponsored, self-entertaining castles in the sky.


    To broaden the revenue-increasing channels of Disney''s film and television products in the Chinese market, just as he promoted Hollywood movies to cultivate the Chinese box office market since the early 1990s, it requires both patience and time.


    After those popular novels and comics were sent to the big screen by Hollywood, toy movies were pushed to the peak by "Transformers". Except for Hasbro''s toy brands, there will definitely be Mattel and Lego toy movies in the future.


    And 20th Century Fox has already responded. They plan to adapt their "King Kong" into a live-action movie. If it is really feasible, there may be even more shocking scenes of robots on the big screen.


    Of course, in the planning of the ¡®Autobot¡¯ studio, Hercules will appear in the second part.


    Ryan has long told the screenwriter team that the scene where the railgun kills Hercules in one shot should not appear as much as possible.


    Afterwards, Ryan temporarily put down "Transformers" and turned to DreamWorks Animation Studios.


    After nearly half a year of operation and negotiation, Walt Disney finally reached a share transfer agreement with all the shareholders of DreamWorks Animation Studios to acquire DreamWorks Animation Studios, the new DreamWorks Animation, at a premium of US$1.5 billion. The studio will remain as secure as the Pixar studio.


    After the completion of this acquisition, Jeff Katzenberg became one of Disney''s many shareholders through stock exchange and still controls the DreamWorks Animation Studios.


    In addition, a group of directors and technicians from the Disney Animation Department and Pixar Studios are transferred to DreamWorks Animation Studios. As long as the internal integration is completed, DreamWorks Animation Studios will have the ability to produce three animated feature films every year.


    At the same time, the production of animated series of some movies will also be transferred to the DreamWorks Animation Studio.


    After the wholly-owned acquisition of DreamWorks Animation Studios, Walt Disney has become a super animation giant that the world must look up to.


    In addition to fierce internal competition, Disney''s animation departments are not short of external competitors. The "Happy Feet" produced by Warner Bros. Animation Department last year was a huge success, and Universal Pictures and Blue Sky Studios will soon be launched. Brand new animated feature film.


    This acquisition involving a small amount of money caused a sensation across the United States.


    "Disney''s animation empire will be rebuilt in the hands of Ryan Jenkins."


    "Ryan Jenkins takes Disney animation to unprecedented heights."


    "Ambition and dream, the child star of the year has grown into the master of a media empire."


    The mainstream media have hyped the news, and it seems that Ryan has regained the glory of the Disney animation empire.


    "This acquisition is ill-considered. Today, when the Disney Animation Department has been unable to re-emerge, Ryan Jenkins should put more resources on Disney''s traditional animation films instead of acquiring DreamWorks Animation Studios."


    "This acquisition will intensify the competition in Disney''s animation division, which is definitely not a good thing for the Walt Disney Group, which is already on the right track."


    There are also people who look down on this acquisition, and some even clamor-Ryan Jenkins and Walt Disney are monopolistic behavior, and the federal government should intervene.


    However, since the federal government has not called a stop during the negotiation and transaction process, the possibility of launching an antitrust investigation is infinitely low.


    Besides, Ryan pushed the deal between the two parties to be completed after the New Year, and was also waiting for the North American box office of Happy Feet to soar.


    As for Disney¡¯s traditional cartoons, shortly after the completion of the acquisition, the Disney Animation Department announced that "Tangled", which has been produced for four years, will be officially released this summer, and the Disney cartoons with singing and dancing will return to people¡¯s minds. Sight.


    At the same time A creative team from Disney Animation Department left the warm California and rushed to Norway in the snow and ice, and will prepare for the adaptation of Andersen¡¯s classic fairy tale "The Snow Queen" through field trips and interviews. .


    Although they have already gotten the theme of the story from Ryan, they need a lot of preliminary preparation if they want to make an excellent animated feature film.


    In addition, Ryan shared some of his thoughts during his speech in China with the Disney Animation Department and Marvel Comics. The two are considering the possibility of adapting some suitable cartoons into Disney animation feature films.


    Those animations about superheroes, like other animation series, almost all transferred to DreamWorks Animation Studios with more staff and faster production speeds.


    In addition to animated series, miniseries are also important supplements and derivatives of superhero movies. Although Nicole did not appear in the series Peggy Carter and was complained by many people, the ratings of "Agent Carter" are not bad. Marvel Pictures and the TV station are preparing to develop another miniseries-"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.".


    Also this month, Ryan bought a team in his own name. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 752： I will take care of this

    From releasing smoke screens on the Los Angeles Dodgers to using the financial dilemma of Anschutz Film Group to exert pressure, after several months of negotiations, the operation team that Scott prepared for Ryan finally got the Anschutz movie. The group holds all the shares of the Los Angeles Galaxy.


    After Manchester United, the Los Angeles Galaxy became the second football club in Ryan''s hands.


    Rather than handing the Manchester United team to a professional team to take care of it, Ryan decided to take care of this not-so-valuable American Major League team according to his own wishes.


    First of all, he retained the team''s current number one star, American Footballer Donovan.


    Then, set your sights on the mainstream European leagues. To attract fans into the stadium in the desert of football, you need stars with absolute appeal.


    Is there a more suitable candidate than David Beckham?


    This alternative star on the football field has less than half a year left in his contract with Real Madrid. According to the Bosman Act, he can already contact other clubs to discuss a new contract for the next season.


    Ryan¡¯s people quickly flew to Madrid and found David Beckham¡¯s agent and himself. Although Beckham is currently embarrassed in Real Madrid, he does not want to leave the mainstream league and go to the American Major League for retirement.


    However, it is not particularly difficult to move David Beckham.


    Victoria Beckham has always wanted to start a career in Hollywood, and it must be the best for Beckham to come to Los Angeles to develop.


    Therefore, when ct Nature¡¯s Treasures flagship store opened in London, Ryan asked Charlize to chat with Victoria, who came to join him. It didn¡¯t take long for David Beckham to open a new contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy. The name was signed on.


    After the news was announced, the whole world was in an uproar, and the less well-known Los Angeles Galaxy team instantly became the focus of attention of fans all over the world.


    This is just the beginning. A team of Ryan flew around in Europe throughout January. According to his idea, he frequently contacted some of the stars¡¯ agents, and then Disney-owned media, including espn, increased their horsepower for hype. The Los Angeles Galaxy The name of the team is louder than almost all the time in the past combined.


    For example, Milan had reached a preliminary transfer agreement with Real Madrid on Ronaldo, but Ryan¡¯s people jumped out of it and offered a higher transfer price.


    That''s fine. After all, the membership club of Real Madrid doesn''t care about the transfer fee, but after Ryan''s people contacted Ronaldo''s agent, they offered a salary that made the other party very exciting, which caused the transfer to suddenly fall into a deadlock.


    In addition, his people swaggered into Real Madrid¡¯s archenemy, Barcelona, ??to discuss the possibility of Ronaldinho¡¯s transfer with the opponent, and at the same time offered a transfer fee of 80 million euros to buy the superstar Leo in the opposition team. ?Messi...


    Ryan even passed the news vaguely to the other party through the tennis star Nadal under the kk agency. As long as Messikan joins the Los Angeles Galaxy, in addition to the world''s first $25 million annual salary, he will also receive an additional $20 million in signing fees.


    If the other party comes to the United States, it will certainly not achieve the achievements of the previous life. Ryan does not want a world-class Messi, as long as he can rampage in the major leagues is enough.


    The focus of public relations in this regard is Messi''s father, Ryan still has a vague memory, this person is not ordinary greedy.


    He is also interested in another player in the Barcelona team. That''s Sergio Busquets, he and his teammates are so brilliant in acting, what kind of football is he playing. Just come to Hollywood to develop, maybe it can really win an Oscar performance award figure, it is not the kind of face.


    At the same time, Ryan solemnly extended an invitation to Real Madrid¡¯s captain Raul Gonzalez. If one day he wants to leave Madrid, the Los Angeles Galaxy team welcomes his arrival.


    In the winter transfer window of the entire European League, the most eye-catching thing is not the local tycoon Chelsea who has bought people in the past two years, but the Los Angeles Galaxy from North America. If a team is formed according to the goals of Ryan''s contact It is enough to be the most powerful team on the planet.


    Unfortunately, football has never been able to calculate strength based on cards. In many cases, it is just hype for the Los Angeles Galaxy. What Ryan wants most is Beckham, Ronaldo and Leo Messi...


    If Raulken joins, he will also welcome, but the Real Madrid captain is in good shape this season, and he wants to participate in the 2008 European Cup, and he will definitely not leave the mainstream league.


    After finishing David Beckham, Ryan¡¯s team increased their offensive against Ronaldo. The Brazilian star who became the best scorer in the history of the World Cup last year has not pursued much in football except for money and beauty. Whether to join Milan or go to Los Angeles Galaxy to pan for gold depends on the conditions offered by both parties.


    Originally, Milan had the UEFA Champions League, a trophy that Ronaldo never lifted as a temptation, but Ronaldo has represented Real Madrid in the Champions League this season. Even if Milan won the St. Bladder Cup in the end, this honor does not have his share.


    In the end, lured by a weekly salary of US$250,000 and a signing fee of US$8 million, Ronaldo obediently surrendered, resolutely abandoning Milan, and invested 10 million US dollars in the arms of the Los Angeles Galaxy.


    The addition of Beckham and Ronaldo is enough to cause global shock, especially the former, whose influence has long surpassed the scope of football. Many people who are not football fans can¡¯t help asking why the Los Angeles Galaxy is so attractive. ?


    As for Leo Messi, the difficulty is very difficult, after all, the other party is too far away from retirement.


    However, just these transfer rumors are enough to start the popularity of the Los Angeles Galaxy.


    Ryan had just acquired a team, and buyers about football came to the door. The Abu Dhabi consortium from the United Arab Emirates found Scott Swift and wanted to acquire Manchester United.


    Strictly speaking, Manchester United is not Ryan¡¯s not-for-sale, but his 3 billion pounds price scared away the local tyrants from the Middle East. These chiefs do have money and spend money lavishly, but it is not the legend that they do not spend money. The fool who calculates the reward.


    "Some time ago, I heard Alison mention it."


    Leaving the camera, Natalie sat next to Ryan, took the coffee cup from the assistant, took a sip and said, "She said this Abu Dhabi consortium still wants to acquire MGM?"


    This is the training hall behind a theater in Long Island, New York. Most of the filming of "Black Swan" will take place in this theater. After Ryan has dealt with the football and DreamWorks animation studios, he rushed to New York. Complete a part of the scene where you are not too much.


    "They just got in touch with MGM''s management."


    Retracting his gaze from the ballerinas in the venue, Ryan leaned on the back of the chair, "The Arabs want to enter the North American media industry, and there is very, very resistance. They should give up."


    The news that the Abu Dhabi consortium wanted to acquire Manchester United inevitably spread.


    The media on Fleet Street will certainly not welcome this huge amount of money that may come in Arabia, even more so than when Ryan bought Manchester United, they kept talking sour and cool.


    ¡°These chiefs actually don¡¯t know football at all. They buy a yacht today, a plane tomorrow, and a football club the day after tomorrow, purely for fun. They have a lot of money to bathe, so they have nothing to do except entertainment. Pursuit."


    Of course, Chief Mansour, who had been in contact with Scott, did not think so. He had said so in an interview with North American media some time ago-I am not here for entertainment, I represent the reputation of a big Arab family, otherwise Why don''t I buy a Disney or Hollywood? Those things are more entertaining, right?


    In fact, they did want to buy MGM, but they gave up because of too much difficulty and resistance.


    "I think Hollywood should reject them."


    From her own standpoint, Natalie said for granted, ¡°The big Hollywood studios controlled by Arabs are a disaster for us.¡±


    "What disaster?" Scarlett''s voice came from the side.


    "Scarlett, you seem to..." Ryan turned his head and looked at her carefully, "It seems to have really become thinner."


    "Of course!" Scarlett made a standard ballet movement, "Everyone now thinks that my figure is very close to the standard of a ballerina."


    She moved a chair and sat next to Ryan, "If you calculate the ratio of height to weight, I''m actually thinner than Alison."


    "Well, congratulations on your successful weight loss." Ryan joked on purpose, and then asked, "Where is Gail? Why didn''t I see her?"


    "Her scene has already been completed Natalie puts the empty coffee cup aside," she went back to Los Angeles to do the dubbing for the later stage of "Wonder Woman 2." "


    After speaking, Natalie stood up, "You two will have a chat, I''m going to start shooting."


    "Don''t worry, Nat." Scarlett waved his hand over there, "I will help you look after Ryan."


    "It''s the Frenchman."


    When Natalie returned to the camera, Scarlett pointed to the ballet director in the field to Ryan, "When the film was just started, he once confessed to Nat but was rejected by Nat, although he was honest A lot, but in my opinion, he did not give up."


    "Last time Alison came to visit the class." She added, "I warned him vaguely. It''s just that these French people have unrealistic romantic fantasies in their heads."


    "I will pay attention." Ryan nodded.


    How does the other party think that he can''t control it, as long as the behavior does not exceed the boundary, otherwise... (to be continued...) ()

 Chapter 753： Perfection is more than control

    In the Western world, the swan is a complex and strange image that can represent purity, but it is also the incarnation of carnal desire. Zeus, the king of the gods, was overwhelmed by the beauty of Lida, the wife of Spartan King Tyndarius, and turned into a swan and its wild combination. The swan''s snow-white sex, soft long neck, soft feathers, and full sensual body can also be regarded as the ultimate combination of female sexual characteristics.


    Another symbol of the swan is the poetic and aesthetic incarnation of art workers.


    As early as before the release of "Transformers", Natalie passed a revised "Black Swan" script to Ryan. The original script was only written by Ryan based on her memory and her own understanding of the film. With his attitude towards literary and artistic movies, it is inevitable that some private goods will be entrained in it.


    Relatively speaking, Natalie, who has sufficient support from Ryan and doesn¡¯t need to consider the market too much, can examine this story with a fairer perspective. The heroine Nina is a mentally ill patient, and Natalie herself It is a high-achieving student who graduated from Harvard University in clinical psychology, who must have his own understanding of this aspect.


    When the two were talking on the phone, Natalie once told him that she had returned to Harvard with this script, consulted her mentor about the psychological problems, and then made some changes.


    The black swan that has changed the most is the black swan. After Natalie''s changes, the black swan is not a complete symbol of evil. It represents sex, struggle, not cowardice, and not concealing, and not suppressing all desires.


    "Nate."


    Scarlett walked behind the camera, "Should I still take the shot for you next?"


    "You can?" Ryan took care of his gray shirt to look more like an art director.


    "Don''t underestimate people, Ryan?" Scarlett said dissatisfied. "I have been studying with Nat for a long time. It''s no problem to be a director''s assistant."


    "Well, you two."


    After walking around in this temporarily arranged office, Natalie confirmed that there was no problem and walked back. "Scarlett, pay attention to the angle of the camera. Ryan, prepare for the next scene."


    After speaking, she clapped everyone in the room, "Everyone cheer up and get ready to start shooting!"


    I previewed my position with Ryan, and walked to the door of the office directly opposite the camera. Natalie looked at him and suddenly asked, "Should I spread my hair better?"


    "What?" Ryan raised his head. Natalie''s long brown hair was neatly tied behind her head.


    "The bun symbolizes abstinence and strict self-discipline." Before Ryan could answer, Natalie opened the bun and scattered her neat long hair. "Nina intends to use the charm of gender that has been neglected for a long time. In the last fight, she actually realized that she was beautiful, but she never showed up and used it."


    Spreading his hand to Natalie, Ryan said nothing.


    "begin!"


    When Ryan and Natalie were ready, Scarlett''s crisp voice came from behind the camera. The two immediately entered the state.


    "It may not be right now."


    The cautious girl followed the art director into the office. Thomas, played by Ryan, nodded gently, "It''s okay."


    Walking into the office that was actually only separated by props, Ryan threw away the documents he was holding at random. Sitting at the desk, looking at Natalie.


    "I just want to tell you." The girl''s voice was always suppressed and timid, and her eyes were dodging, "I practiced the black swan clip last night. I''m done."


    Ryan just nodded, but said nothing.


    Natalie''s eyes flashed again, as if she had a little more courage. "I think you should know..."


    "Nina, listen." Ryan interrupted her directly, "To be honest, I don''t care about your skills..."


    "I think you should know..."


    "Needless to say." Ryan interrupted the girl again, "We have already chosen someone else."


    Ryan walked over, patted Natalie''s cheek lightly, and opened the door, "I''m sorry, Nina."


    "Okay, thank you." The girl''s voice was almost undetectable.


    She walked outside the door, and when she was about to exit the door, Ryan suddenly closed the door and stopped her.


    "Is that it?" He tilted his head and looked at her, "You won''t try to make me change my mind? You must think it is possible, otherwise what are you doing here?"


    "I''m coming..." The girl hesitated, and said, "I''ll ask you to let me play this role."


    "Really?" Ryan turned his head and walked back, pulling a chair and sitting on it. "The truth is, when I see you, I will only see a white swan. You are beautiful, Nina."


    Then he changed his voice, "But you are like a white swan, timid and fragile, and the difficulty of the black swan is that both roles must be played well."


    "I can play the black swan well." She finally looked here.


    "Really? I don''t think so." Ryan used the tone of telling the truth. "For these years, every time you dance, I only see you jumping every step cautiously. I have never seen you release your feelings. No!"


    "What are these trainings for?" he asked again.


    "I just want to pursue perfection." The girl''s eyes fell again.


    "So..." Ryan shook his head, "Perfection is not only control, it also needs to release emotions."


    "You need to break through yourself and surprise the audience."


    Ryan walked over as he spoke, regardless of the **** the opposite side whispering, he provoked her chin and kissed the other side''s lips heavily.


    The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his lips, and quickly broke free of Natalie, but still controlled himself, "You bit me? I can''t believe you bit me!"


    "I am sorry."


    After another low mosquito hum, Natalie opened the door and turned and fled in a hurry.


    "Cut!"


    The moment Scarlett Johansson called to stop, Ryan immediately wiped his lower lip, and blood was faintly visible.


    "Hey, Nat."


    Looking at Natalie who walked in, Ryan couldn''t help flashing her fingers that were stained with reddish red, "You actually bit me!"


    "Sorry, Ryan." Natalie hurried over and looked up, "I was in the play just now, and I just subconsciously took a bite."


    "I don''t think you would mind, do you?" She was very smart.


    "It''s ok."


    Ryan couldn''t say anything. Followed Natalie to the back of the monitor and watched the female director and Scarlett call up the shots they had just taken, watching them very seriously.


    "You are all very fast in the movie." Scarlett folded her arms, "I didn''t expect this shot to be done once. I think you should work together as the male and female protagonists in a movie."


    "Let''s stop here today!"


    Natalie ignored Scarlett''s words, and instead asked the assistant to convey the news of the end of work.


    Ryan went directly to the dressing room to remove her makeup and change back to her clothes. After she came out, she waited in the lounge for a while before Natalie and Scarlett walked hand in hand. The three of them got out of the theater and rode towards Manhattan together in the RV.


    "Scarlett."


    Looking at the little fat girl sitting opposite. Ryan asked, "I remember "Iron Man 2" is about to start shooting, right?"


    "After the Oscars." Scarlett closed the flip phone she was holding. "The filming of "Black Swan" will definitely be completed by then."


    "Even if it can''t be done." Natalie seemed to be lacking in confidence, "I will finish your part first."


    "This is not the Nat I know." Scarlett joked deliberately. "The Nat I know is always full of confidence."


    "Nina is the most complicated character I have encountered." Natalie made a gesture that you understand, "Once I am in a bad state, the shooting progress will definitely slow down."


    "You are in good condition today." Ryan took her hand and patted it lightly. "It''s really like that white swan."


    "Yes..." Scarlett nodded in agreement. "In the face of the sexual harassment of your boss, the bite you bitterly is simply wonderful."


    Ryan couldn''t help glaring at her when she heard the unreliable words.


    "Do you understand that. Scarlett?" When Natalie saw Ryan and Scarlett both showing suspicious eyes, she explained briefly, "At the beginning, Nina was like a white swan without resistance. . Light and fragile. Yes, such Nina may be really beautiful."


    "She is graceful and graceful, and has her own beauty appeal. But her figure is too thin and hard, her expression cringes and fearful."


    Speaking of this, Natalie suddenly looked at Ryan, "From a psychological point of view, no one wants to make love with such a body. No one wants to make love with a stiff, timid, and resistant body. ."


    "So what kind of body do we want to have **** with?"


    It is naturally Scarlett Johansson who can ask this kind of question, "Nate?"


    If more than ten years ago, there were female friends discussing this kind of problem in person, Ryan might be a little unnatural, but over the years, he has long been used to this straight-and-go lifestyle.


    Natalie said directly, "Mankind¡¯s cultural and artistic works for thousands of years have provided us with countless fragrant visual answers, symbolizing the Salome described by Moreau who danced in front of King Herod, and the French Rococo painter cloth. The arrogant and lovely little lady in Cher''s pen, the grand palace lady exuding milky fragrance under Angel''s brush, the sea monster siren who seduces sailors in Waterhouse''s paintings..."


    "There are also paintings depicting Romans taking a bath and a full carnival Scarlett seems to have been inspired by Natalie''s words, "This is simply a classical version of the San Fernando Valley. masterpiece! "


    "My dears." Ryan couldn''t help coughing. "Remind you, you are off topic."


    "So, according to my understanding and settings." Natalie turned the topic back again, "That''s not sexual harassment. Thomas is not interested in making love with Nina in the white swan state. He kissed her forcibly. In order to inspire Nina''s wildness, let her show the other side of the black swan, the real side!"


    "A great dancer can''t just let the audience look at you in the audience. You have to make them fall in love with you and want to have **** with you."


    Ryan thoughtfully, "So, the line you added for Thomas is based on this consideration?"


    "Yes." Natalie nodded seriously. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 754： Drunk heroine and supporting actress

    Although it is the most important male character in the film, there are not many shots belonging to Ryan. Outside of the shooting time, he also watched many shots that Natalie has already taken, although these shots without post-processing are very rough , But with a strong Natalie style.


    Every director has her own areas of expertise, and Natalie is no exception. Just like "127 Hours", in these shots, Natalie''s use of light and color is extremely clever, even Ryan is not very good at literary films. Sensitive people can clearly feel the meaning behind the colors.


    Among these scattered fragments, the meaning of color is the most commonly used and the most obvious.


    For example, White Swan and Nina represented by white and pink.


    Nina¡¯s pillow is black and white. In many of the waking shots, her head lies exactly in the center of the entangled black vine pattern; her snow-white scarf is fluffy, which makes people think of white unconsciously. The feathers of the swan are like the young and fluffy body of Nina''s chick-like character.


    Almost all of her rooms are decorated in pink. In one of the shots, the breakfast her mother brought up was fruit cut in half. Nina whispered like an innocent little girl-pink, how beautiful!


    When Nina was sitting alone in the aisle practicing her arm movements, the scarf was pale pink, but after she was selected as the "Queen of Swans", the fluffy scarf disappeared.


    Perhaps this is a symbol of the fluffing of the chicks given by Natalie.


    Black is the color of Lily played by Black Swan, Nina''s mother and Scarlett, sex, struggle, pursuit and pleasure. In these shots, black seems to be synonymous with them.


    In the last Swan Lake dance scene that has not been filmed, the heroine will definitely wear black to complete the transformation.


    In addition, it is gray, which is the color of Thomas, the art director played by Ryan.


    sometimes. Gray Thomas¡¯ behavior makes people think that he is a boss who wants to take Nina¡¯s rules, but in the interpretation of the director, Natalie, this is not exactly the case. Gray wants to change white and pink. Hope Through the polishing of love and desire, the color is brought into black.


    Under the influence of Thomas, Nina also appeared in gray for a short time. When she appeared frequently in phantoms, the coat she wore when practicing dance changed from white to gray; her home clothes also became gray¡ªgrey infiltrated Nina. Pink world.


    "Her inner passion has not yet awakened. Her true, deep self has not yet formed. Only after being inspired by the fanatical passion can she truly transform and show her curled wings. Just like what a player did before sprinting with all her strength. With a deep breath, her life is accumulating strength in the stagnant dormant period, like a sleeping volcano, once it erupts, it will shake the ground."


    When entering the bedroom furnished room, Ryan heard Natalie talking to herself behind the camera. Can not help but frown and said, "Nate, you are a bit too deep in the play."


    "It''s okay, Ryan." Natalie''s eyes left the script. Turned to this side, "I know what I am doing."


    Regardless of the staff present, Ryan held Natalie''s face and kissed her on the forehead. "Don''t worry me, okay, Nat?"


    Natalie nodded to him seriously.


    "Should I notify others to delay shooting?"


    Scarlett in black came over. Eyes swept over the other people in the room, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to clear the room, Nat?"


    After speaking, he winked at Ryan mischievously.


    "Of course." Natalie said without hesitation, "We two are enough."


    "its not right."


    Scarlett scratched her hair, "I remember it needed a close-up shot and a follow-up shot..."


    "That..." Ryan took a picture of the camcorder next to him, "I will be a guest for the time being."


    This is one of the passion dramas with few remaining scripts. Although the scale is far worse than the previous life, Natalie, as the director and heroine, still insisted on clearing the scene and arrested Ryan as a guest cameraman.


    After the lighting, setting, and other preparations were in place, there were only three people left in this temporary bedroom, Ryan.


    "Do you still need to do any preparations?"


    Picking up the camera, Ryan asked the two girls standing next to the bed. After they signaled that they were ready, they shouted, "Go!"


    Just after shouting to start, Natalie, who was standing by the bed, strode to Scarlett, lifted her cheek, and kissed her firmly. Perhaps it was a relationship that two people had practiced in private. The performance was extremely natural, and there was no stiffness that Ryan had seen before.


    The two girls went to the bed while kissing, and quickly tore off each other¡¯s coats. Scarlett even pressed Natalie under her body, but when her hand was on Natalie¡¯s chest, Rui Eun obviously saw Natalie''s brows frowned unconsciously.


    "Cut!"


    He stopped immediately, "Nat..."


    Pulling Scarlett''s hand from her chest, Natalie took a few breaths, "I need to find a feeling."


    With only three points left, Scarlett was quite natural. She sat beside Natalie generously and looked at her hand. "Oh, Nat, your **** are more predictable than they seem."


    "Scarlett!" Natalie dropped a black line.


    "Nate, you won''t..." Each other''s best girlfriends, Scarlett leaned to Natalie''s ear, "Could you not have **** with a woman before?"


    Natalie''s face darkened, and she asked in a low voice, "Do you have one?"


    "Of course." Scarlett nodded lightly, and then seemed to realize something, and quickly said to Ryan who was finishing the camera, "Great cameraman, ready to start shooting."


    Ryan turned his head and gestured ¡®ok¡¯ to them.


    The filming restarted, but the situation did not change. Perhaps it was because she was very uncomfortable with the touch of the same sex, especially her friends. Natalie appeared frequently, causing Ryan to shout ¡®cut¡¯ five times!


    "It''s not a way to go on like this."


    Scarlett hugged Natalie from behind and pinched her chest again. After Natalie opened her eyes, she said to this side, "Ryan, hurry up and think of a way, or your girlfriend''s The Best Actress Oscar is about to fall apart."


    "What can I do?" Ryan stretched out his hands helplessly, "I can''t be your stand-in, right?"


    "You two be quiet for a while." Natalie got rid of Scarlett''s entanglement and walked around the room, seeming to think of something, "Perhaps...a drink would be better."


    "this is a good idea."


    Scarlett¡¯s eyes lit up instantly, she pulled a blanket over her body, and walked out. After about ten minutes, she walked back with two bottles of red wine. After closing the door, she found two cups. Pour half a cup separately.


    "Nate."


    She called Natalie over, and the two girls picked up their wine glasses and touched them lightly, drank the red wine.


    "How do you feel now?" Ryan asked.


    It is common for Hollywood actors to borrow alcohol or other things to find status, and he also thinks this may be a good way.


    Natalie blinked, "I think I need another drink."


    Hearing this, Scarlett picked up the wine bottle and poured it into the two glasses again. This time, without waiting for her invitation, Natalie picked up the wine glass, and then the two girls toasted again.


    "Scarlett, go on." Natalie handed the cup to Scarlett again.


    Ryan knew that Natalie didn''t have much alcohol, and quickly stopped, "Nat, this is red wine, you will get drunk if you drink it."


    "You can only find feeling when you are drunk." Natalie held up her finger at him, made a silent gesture, took the red wine, and touched Scarlett again, "Scarlett, cheers!"


    It wasn''t until the fourth consecutive drink that Natalie shook her head, and Scarlett, who was as blurred as her eyes, walked back to their respective positions together.


    "Get ready! Get ready!"


    The two girls were obviously a little drunk, and Scarlett was fortunate to say that Natalie seemed almost drunk.


    "It''s over this time!"


    Natalie beckoned to Ryan, "My dear, don''t let anything go wrong."


    Seeing the thumbs up by the two girls, Ryan adjusted the fixed-position camera first, and then picked up the portable camera. After choosing the location, he shouted, "Go!"


    Then, the two girls with blurred eyes began a entanglement with a scale much larger than planned.


    "Cut!"


    Kissing and chest attack are almost the limit that Ryan can accept, but Natalie and Scarlett''s hands almost fall under each other. Such shots say nothing can appear in the movie.


    "stop!"


    Seeing the two girls still kissing, Ryan couldn''t help shouting again, "You two, you can stop!"


    "Nat, leave Ryan alone."


    The stamina of the red wine broke out, and the two girls were obviously drunk. Scarlett pressed Natalie''s hand to the bottom of her, "Don''t stop, that''s it!"


    Seeing the drunk Natalie is like finding a fun toy She opened Scarlett¡¯s underwear flexibly, and Ryan couldn¡¯t help covering her forehead. A drunk woman is more terrifying than a man. .


    If they are allowed to continue, I am afraid that the most terrifying thing in the room will become themselves.


    He quickly walked over, grabbed Natalie''s hand, and completely separated the two girls who were entangled in limbs, then picked Natalie and put her on a chair.


    "Hey, Ryan." Scarlett lying over there still said in a mocking tone, "Are you jealous of me? Wow, Ryan Jenkins is jealous of me, I molested Ryan''s girlfriend. "


    "No." Natalie, who was pressed tightly on the chair by Ryan, suddenly said, "Scarlett, obviously I molested you!"


    "Nate, obviously I''m guiding you." Scarlett sat up swayingly. "Your tactics are clumsy. Did you do foreplay for Ryan like this before?"


    These two people, really think they are not men?


    Taking out his cell phone, Ryan dialed the number of Natalie''s assistant Anna and asked her to bring Scarlett''s assistant in quickly. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 755： Best Picture Award Guest

    "Did I do something stupid yesterday?"


    As soon as he walked into the restaurant, Ryan heard the questioning voice of Natalie who had placed breakfast, "Is it still crazy? I only remember some vague clips."


    Pulling the chair, Ryan sat opposite Natalie, picked up the knife and fork, and said, "After coming back, you pestered me crazy for a long time."


    "I still remember these." Natalie smiled embarrassedly, and sat down, "I mean, I was drunk when shooting, and vaguely remembered..."


    "I took the film back." Ryan pointed to the cabinet outside the restaurant. "It''s there. You can watch it yourself after breakfast."


    "Oh, there''s more." Ryan said again, "I gave the crew a holiday, and today we are off."


    "Yeah~"


    Natalie nodded, stopped talking, and began to concentrate on breakfast.


    She was still in the stage of controlling her diet, just drank a glass of skim milk and ate half an apple, greeted Ryan, and left the restaurant.


    After finishing breakfast quickly, Ryan walked into the living room. Natalie was using a small projection device to watch the clips shot yesterday. Hearing his footsteps in the past, she quickly turned her head back.


    "Is this me and Scarlett?" She seemed a little embarrassed.


    "I can''t make two people who look exactly like you, can I?" Rui? En sat beside Natalie, "If I hadn''t called Anna to help, only God would know what you would become. "


    "That..." Natalie hurriedly turned off the screen and explained, "I don''t know why this is. Maybe it''s because of too much pressure recently, which caused the drunk to lose status."


    "However, why does Scarlett seem to be very skilled?" She murmured again.


    "What?" Ryan didn''t hear clearly. "What''s so proficient, Nat?"


    "Ah. It''s nothing." Natalie shook her head. "This scene was finally filmed. I cut out the shots that were too much, and the rest is enough."


    Shrugging, Ryan helped Natalie pack the film, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, he walked over and opened the door, and it was Scarlett Johansson standing outside.


    "Hi, Ryan." She waved her hand and immediately got into the suite.


    "Scarlett!"


    See Scarlett coming in. Natalie couldn''t help staring at her with arms akimbo, "You..."


    "I don''t remember anything."


    Before Natalie finished speaking, Scarlett thought about what she said, "Nat, I seemed to be drunk yesterday and I don''t remember anything."


    After finishing speaking, she quickly moved away from Natalie''s sight and waved to this side, "Ryan. Do you have a plan if you don''t shoot today?"


    "I''m going to Wall Street."


    Pointing to his formal attire, Ryan said to the two people, "If you are interested. You can be together."


    "Scarlett."


    Natalie knew that Ryan had to go to Wall Street because of work. She used to hold Scarlett and said, "Let''s go shopping, we haven''t been to Fifth Avenue in a long time."


    Take the elevator down to the underground parking lot. The three got into two cars separately, and left the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, waiting for Natalie and their Chevrolet to leave. Ryan''s Rolls-Royce just drove to Wall Street.


    As an important member of the same interest group, Taylor''s father Scott Swift is almost resident in New York. As the manager of many foundations under the name of Ryan and Nicole, his methods have become more and more in recent years. Proficiency, with more and more funds under his control, has also become an important member of Wall Street.


    "Ryan, the signs of the financial crisis are becoming more apparent."


    After entering the reception room, the two were not so polite. Sitting on the sofa separately, Scott went directly to the topic, "From the data analysis we have obtained, the possibility of an outbreak between the end of this year and the end of next year is the greatest. "


    "Will it have an impact on us?" This is the focus of Ryan''s concern.


    "The impact will definitely be there, but it won''t be particularly big." Scott said concisely. "According to my estimation, this time finance, banking, insurance and real estate are the key industries in the crisis. Our assets exclude Hollywood related industries. Besides, it mainly focuses on the IT industry."


    "Also." He continued, "I have sold stocks in industries that may be severely affected, and part of the funds raised has been invested in China, and the other part is reserved as a reserve fund according to your ideas."


    "What''s going on on Wall Street now?" Ryan nodded and asked.


    "New Century Financial Corporation should not last long." Scott flipped through the documents in his hand. "According to our estimation, it is difficult for them to persist until May. There are also Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers. There are also many problems. Once With the outbreak of the financial crisis, applying for bankruptcy protection may be the only way out."


    "Pay more attention to the status of investment banks." Ryan thought for a while, and there are not many relevant memories in his head. "In this period of time, I have invested cautiously in North America."


    Then, Scott gave him a detailed analysis of the grim situation that Wall Street might face, and Ryan also learned more about this financial crisis that was only a general understanding of the previous life.


    Scott''s words can be summed up in one sentence. Now that God has come, he cannot save America from this most likely crisis.


    Since two thousand years later, the economic development of the United States has slowed down. The industries that have achieved rapid development are undoubtedly the high-tech industries represented by the IT industry, and the real estate industry that the federal government has vigorously promoted.


    External enemies are always the best way to resolve internal conflicts. Although the Iraq War temporarily resolved the domestic crisis, it did not fundamentally change the fate of the nation¡¯s double deficits and economic downturn.


    When fighting Iraq, the federal government¡¯s war budget was about 50 to 60 billion U.S. dollars. At that time, it was thought that it could be a quick decision. As a result, from 2003 to the present, the U.S. military has spent 4 years in Iraq and spent more than 500 billion dollars. Leading to the enlargement of US Treasury bonds, fiscal deficits and trade deficits.


    How can we improve the nation¡¯s economic situation? This important task fell on US real estate. Around 2000, the federal government made a choice to call on everyone in the US to buy houses. Even the Federal Reserve adopted loose monetary policy and kept cutting interest rates. Loan interest rates are very low. Real estate is used to boost the U.S. economy and keep the U.S. economy prosperous.


    They joined forces with Wall Street to encourage the middle and lower classes in the United States to buy houses, create a real estate boom, and create a bigger bubble to plug the black hole left by another bubble.


    As a result, commercial banks issued subordinated loans and packaged and sold subordinated debt to investment banks. After the investment banks purchased these mortgage securities, they began to design financial derivatives. They also made a package and turned into subordinated bonds¡ªdebt Mortgage bonds-sold to major customers of investment banks and insurance companies.


    In this way, the subordinated debt was sold all over the world


    The history of the past decades has proved countless times that putting the focus of a country¡¯s economy on real estate will only crush the bubble, and the collapse of the bubble is only a matter of time.


    Now, it is the turn of the United States to be unlucky.


    Perhaps this financial crisis laid the groundwork on the day of capitalism, but the strategy of the federal government and Wall Street to gamble on real estate is undoubtedly one of the direct causes.


    This financial crisis is bound to affect Hollywood, and those who hold large sums of money at that time can play the role of savior like David Ellison in the previous life.


    Of course, this Hollywood outsider will never take his turn in this world.


    Ryan stayed in Scott''s office until the afternoon before leaving. When he returned to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel by car, he remembered another major event in Hollywood next year-the screenwriter''s strike!


    Although the model of Jenkins Pictures has driven the rise of screenwriters'' status and income, the screenwriters association has never stopped calling for improvement of screenwriters'' treatment. In the past few years, it has also negotiated with the producer alliance several times, but there is no ideal result. If nothing happens, the strike will most likely break out again under the guidance of the economic crisis next year.


    Even if there is a certain degree of uncertainty, it is always right to be prepared. After returning to Los Angeles, we must promote the compilation of the scripts of the Disney labels in the next two to three years. Even if a strike occurs at that time, you will not encounter the previous life "Deformation" The situation in "King Kong 2".


    That kind of weird script, if it weren''t for the screenwriter''s strike , it would definitely come back and rewrite it.


    Saying that I am a member of the Screenwriters Guild and the Producers Alliance, will both parties come to the door at the same time?


    Throwing away the question of not having to make a choice at all, Ryan dialed Natalie''s phone and rolled his eyes after hearing where she and Scarlett were.


    The two are trying on clothes at CT''s flagship store in New York on Fifth Avenue, ¡®ct Nature¡¯s Treasure¡¯.


    Fortunately, after Charlize Theron filmed "Superman Hank for All", the world was busy opening shops, and she would appear in New York.


    Picking up Natalie and Scarlett from ¡®ct Nature¡¯s Treasure¡¯, Ryan asked a bodyguard to drive away their Chevrolet, and the black Rolls Royce returned to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.


    Perhaps the relaxation of the day had an effect. After the crew restarted the next day, the efficiency was significantly improved. Ryan, Natalie and Scarlett also maintained an excellent condition, and most of the shots were controlled in ng times. It was less than five times, and this high efficiency was maintained for a long time.


    When it came in late February, Ryan and Scarlett Johansson ended their roles one after another.


    Scarlett went to Nashville to rendezvous with Taylor, who was on a national tour, while Ryan flew back to Los Angeles to prepare for the next seventy-ninth Oscars.


    Different from previous strong performances, this year''s Disney films, only "Cars 2" won the heavier award nomination for Best Animated Feature Film, and the others are just nominations for insignificant technical awards.


    Ryan originally didn''t want to participate in this awards ceremony, but was strongly invited by the academy. They invited him to be the most important guest of award-the guest of award for best film. (To be continued...) R1292

 Chapter 756： American endgame

    The seventy-ninth Oscars ceremony is extremely long. This is not only because most important awards lack fierce competition. There is no suspense beforehand, and there is no surprise in the event. If there is no host for the first time in the Oscars Alan DeGeneres is hard to gag, wondering how many people will fall asleep without waiting for the curtain to fall.


    Long waiting will also slow down the pace of time. The more urgent the desire for results, the more unbearable the waiting process will be. For many people, all the ¡°gold content¡± of the 79th Academy Awards is Hidden in the last 10 minutes.


    On the surface, what they care about is whether the best director is Martin Scorsese or Clint Eastwood? Is the best film "The Infinite Walker" or "Tongtian Tower"? This is almost the only suspense that this Oscar can provide.


    However, in fact, what they really want to know is whether Martin Scorsese, who has been neglected by the Oscars, will continue to be his uncrowned king this evening or become a legend.


    For the answer to this mystery, they willingly waited for 4 hours.


    For this mystery, Martin Scorsese waited 27 years.


    When Ryan and Nicole in a big red one-shoulder evening gown walked into the backstage together and saw George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Francis Coppola preparing to appear as award-presenting guests, they understood There is no suspense about the attribution of the best director.


    Perhaps the film academy also realized that a single award guest is not enough to award Martin Scorsese, so they invited Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola. Bit.


    Back then, Martin Scorsese and these three were collectively known as the "Four Great Young Directors", and then tied for the top four directors in the 1980s. If this time they meet on the stage of the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles...


    In order to increase the attractiveness of the Oscars ceremony and get rid of the dilemma of declining ratings year by year, the college has really worked hard.


    Ryan and Nicole didn''t say much, and greeted the three with a smile. Waiting at the entrance on the edge of the stage.


    When the announcement sounded in the theater, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Francis Coppola filed onto the stage, and the Kodak Theater burst into violent applause, as long as it¡¯s not a fool, at this time You can surely guess where the best director belongs.


    "It''s more like a lifetime achievement award." Nicole leaned closer and said in a low voice, "We two are also part of the award-giving guests."


    "Don''t forget those things Martin said in Europe some time ago." Ryan reminded Nicole, "For his own people, the college must express its importance in the most solemn way."


    Although the envelope in Nicole''s hand was not opened, Ryan could guess it. The best film they are going to award must be Martin''s "Infinite Walkers".


    The college invited him and Nicole to award the best film, and it was more than just being the guest of honor.


    When Martin Scorsese promoted "The Infinite Walker" in Europe last year, the European media headed by the French "Le Figaro" once publicly questioned Martin Scorsese at a press conference-could it be that person? Did the directors who filmed "Cruel Street", "Taxi Driver", and "Angry Bull" really sell themselves to Hollywood?


    And old Martin replied in a categorical tone-I am an American director, I am a Hollywood director!


    Even when the European media questioned the Oscars on the spot, he said-I have watched every Oscar awards ceremony on TV since I was a child, and he grew up with me. This thing does have indescribable magic for me!


    In his words. Full of protection of Hollywood, Oscars, and American films. With his status in the film industry today, speaking these words, the college will naturally give him a grand honorary ceremony.


    "Today the three of us are standing on the stage." Francis Coppola said first on the stage. "It''s because we all know the excitement of getting the best director."


    "It was the most beautiful moment in my life." Spielberg answered.


    "Wait..." George Lucas looked at the two people separately. "I have never won this award."


    There was a burst of laughter in the theater, and Spielberg said in the laugh, "Then what are you doing here?"


    "I don''t know." George Lucas gradually brought the topic to the award. "But I think it''s better to gain than to give."


    "That''s strange!" Spielberg and Francis Coppola said at the same time.


    "The following is the list of nominations for the best director." The three people ended this little talk show, "Agado Gonzalez Inarido "Sky Tower", Martin Scorsese "The Infinite Walker" ". Clint Eastwood, "Letter from Iwo Jima," Stephen Friars "Queen", Paul Greengrass "Flight 93."


    "The winner is..." Spielberg opened the envelope, and there was no suspense in the answer, "Martin Scorsese!"


    At this moment, only he himself understood how old Martin felt. The audience and guests who stood up gave a warm applause. Ryan and Nicole were also applauding.


    On stage, Martin Scorsese embraced George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Francis Coppola in turn, and then stood in front of the microphone.


    "Thank you, thank you, thank you..."


    A long list of thanks popped out of his mouth. The director who always passed by the best director of Oscars finally realized his Oscar dream with a gangster film highly rated in North America. .


    "Can you check the envelope again? Did I really win the award? I mean, I can''t control myself after taking the award given to me by the college, and it is the honor given to me by my old friends! We have been dating for 37 years. I am so touched, so touched."


    "First of all, thank you Ryan Jenkins and Disney for transferring the right to adapt this script to me, and thank you the actors and staff who worked with me..."


    After a long list of thanks, Martin Scorsese seems to be a summary of these years, "I also want to say thank you to those who have been blessing me over the years. There are many strangers in it. You know, I used to People will make irresponsible remarks to me when I walk on the street. You will encounter this situation when you walk into a doctor¡¯s office or anywhere."


    "They said,''You should get an Oscar.'' I went to take an X-ray, and the doctor said to me,''You should get an Oscar.'' I said''thank you'' to them. I have been walking with me for many years. Friends, as well as many friends who came to the scene tonight, all wish me this award, and so do my family, I thank you. This moment is reserved for you."


    With the sound of music, Ryan and Nicole walked towards the stage hand in hand, nodded gently with the four directors who came across, and stood in front of the microphone amidst applause.


    "It''s incredible to be able to stand in this place where the Queen of England just stood."


    Just after Nicole¡¯s voice fell, Ryan continued, ¡°It will be an unforgettable memory to stand here and witness Martin Scorsese winning the Oscar for Best Director, Golden Man.¡±


    "Ryan, can you repeat the nomination list for the best picture for us?"


    "Okay, right now."


    After Nicole stepped away, Ryan stood opposite the microphone, "The Sky Tower" Jon Chilik and Steve Goring, "The Infinite Walker" Graham King and Martin Scorsese, "Letters from Iwo Jima" Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg, "Little Lady of the Sunshine" David Fredley and Peter Salaf, "The Queen" Andy Harris and Klee Steen Langen."


    "Then the winner is..." Ryan returned the position to Nicole. Nicole opened the envelope and glanced down. The answer was no surprise, "The Infinite Walker," Graham King and Martin? Scorsese."


    The Kodak Theater once again thundered with applause, and Martin Scorsese and "The Infinite Walker" became the biggest winners tonight.


    One of the two producers came from the stage and the other came up from the backstage. Ryan and Nicole delivered the two golden figures to them, ending the only mission of this Oscar.


    This evening, Martin Scorsese is the biggest legend. Oscar gave the 4 figurines of "Infernal Walker" in one breath, best picture, best director, best adapted screenplay, and best editing.


    Although before the awards ceremony, many media are saying that this year''s Oscar is the most international and most diverse one, but the final result proves that the Oscar will ultimately be an American and Hollywood awards ceremony.


    Although, the works of the two Mexican directors "Sky Tower" and "Pan''s Labyrinth" received 13 nominations; although like "The Queen" and "The Last Tyrant" are both at the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival Popular videos from.


    However, this is North America, this is Hollywood, the world''s largest exporter of culture and values.


    The ultimate victory of a purely American movie like "Infernal Walker", coupled with the history of African American pop music in "Dream Girl", the American family warmth of "Little Sunshine" and "The Uncoverable Truth" which criticizes the US government''s environmental protection policy The nature of Oscars is still the embodiment of American movies and American values.


    Just as a certain director on the other side of the Pacific lost the nomination for "Full of Golden Armour in a City", foreign films wanting to be recognized by the Oscars must meet Hollywood''s aesthetic standards and reflect American values. Maybe it won''t be recognized by North American audiences, but it can make a difference in some awards.


    For example, the German film "Eavesdropping Storm", although the North American box office is very mediocre, it took away the best foreign language film from this awards ceremony.


    In short, the seventy-ninth Oscar started with an open and globally diverse nomination, but ended in a very American way. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 757： Action superstar

    The end of the Oscars ceremony means the end of another awards season in Hollywood. When the media seized the last heat of the Oscars and another burst of speculation, Hollywood appeared to be much quieter.


    The brokers running in Burbank and Beverly Hills disappeared. The business staff of professional public relations companies entered a dormant period. Stars of all sizes continued to be drunk and busy, waiting for the next awards season.


    In this year¡¯s Oscar feast to divide the cake, Walt Disney¡¯s films performed poorly, relying on "Transformers" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World''s End" to win the best visual effects and best art direction respectively.


    As for Ryan''s use of "Transformers" to win a nomination for the best director for Michael Bay, it is destined to be a witty remark between him and Natalie.


    After entering March, with the rapid rise in temperature, the hydrangea and magnolia trees planted in Jenkins Manor bloomed successively, and other flowering trees and plants also became colorful, embellishing the wide front courtyard and back garden with a particularly charming appearance. If you walk in it, you really feel like you have entered a sea of ??flowers and plants.


    After several years of renovation by Charlize Theron, the manor originally dominated by palm trees and hydrangeas has become more diverse and the scenery has become more charming.


    In the few days after returning from Dubai to Los Angeles, apart from the time spent with Ryan, many times, Charlize took him to walk in the garden, and even designed a women''s dress based on a few peculiar hydrangea flowers. .


    "Unfortunately, Alison is not here."


    Leaning against Ryan''s arms, Charlize looked through the window at the flower garden full of hydrangeas, "This is her favorite flower."


    "She is touring the United States." Adjusting her body in a soft chair to make Charlize more comfortable, Ryan said, "She won''t be back to Los Angeles in the short term."


    "I heard that Alison''s concert has an average attendance rate of over 95%."


    Hearing Charlize''s emotions, Ryan grabbed her hand and kissed her. "She has a huge appeal among people born in the 1990s."


    "Wait for me to finish this." Charlize kissed Ryan''s lips back, "I''ll go and help her."


    Having said this, she suddenly turned the topic to the just-concluded Oscars, "Our votes this time went to "Infernal Affairs". Will they return this favor next time?"


    "At the celebration party." Ryan nodded slightly. "Martin and Stephen have already expressed their full support for Disney''s film next year."


    ""Black Swan"?" Charlize naturally understands what the film will impact next year''s Oscars.


    "Yes." Ryan admitted directly.


    "Best director or best actress?" she asked again.


    "Best Actress." Ryan squeezed Charlize''s puffed nose, "Without the help of some other aspects, it is too difficult for a female director to be the best director."


    "Why...this way." Charlize''s eyes rolled, "Ms. Portman will be the director in the future. Miss Kidman and I will be the heroine, and then you will be the hero, and we will star in a movie together. What do you think of this? What''s your idea?"


    "This is a good idea." Ryan couldn''t help rolling his eyes. "It''s very difficult to achieve."


    "Are you worried about us fighting?" Charlize turned his head with a smile, and kissed his lips again. "Even if we do, our target will only be you."


    "I have seen Sandy," she said suddenly, "very cute."


    "When?" Ryan asked strangely. "Why don''t I know?"


    "At the end of last year, Gwyneth moved back to Los Angeles." Charlize explained briefly, "I went to her party, in Epple''s room. I saw Sandy."


    Ryan understood. Last year, Nicole went to London to help him with some Harry Potter affairs, and temporarily entrusted Sandy to Gwyneth to take care of him.


    "I want to be her godmother." Charlize said again.


    "My dear." Ryan said helplessly, "Sanny already has Drew. Judy, Gwyne, Kate. Nami''s five nominal godmothers..."


    "None of us are devout believers." Charlize said indifferently. "It doesn''t matter if you have one more."


    "Okay." Ryan sighed softly, "I will talk to Nicole about this."


    "Also, Ryan."


    It seems that it has been too long. Charlize has said a lot in the past few days, "I read the new script you wrote yesterday."


    "Which?"


    "The one about Warcraft."


    Pulling a chair next to him, Charlize sat opposite Ryan and said seriously, "I think this script is very suitable for us. You starred in Alsace Menethil, and I and Nicole Kidd. Man can choose between Jaina Proudmoore and Sylvanas Windrunner, but I don¡¯t know if Miss Portman can control such a magical epic."


    After speaking, she grinned.


    Ryan smiled first, then fell into thinking.


    He has completed the script for the first part of the Warcraft series for a long time, but has not yet begun preparations. First, he wants to wait for the game to have a greater impact. Second, there are too few movies that have been successfully adapted from past and present games.


    It can be said that apart from the "Resident Evil" series, there is no game adaptation movie that can be a big success.


    Nowadays, "World of Warcraft" can be said to be the world''s largest online game. It has a large group of players. After "Burning Crusade" is launched, "Wrath of the Lich King" is also under development. The next two to three In 1991, this series has all the conditions for adaptation into a movie.


    Perhaps Charlize''s proposal is also good?


    However, with Natalie''s level, shooting a literary film is not a big problem, but such a commercial masterpiece does require her to be more mature, especially since it will involve a large number of group scenes.


    In fact, Ryan still has a big concern. To some extent, Alsace Menethil and Anakin Skywalker are somewhat similar.


    The same young genius, the youth proud; the same beauty; the same bright hope and the future of the country; the same betrayal of his own organization and annihilation of it; the same with a cool helmet and a cool armor; The same was deceived by the strange uncle, and became the subordinate of his own mortal enemy.


    Even the Jedi and Silver Hand to which they belong are very similar.


    They are all military forces developed by religious groups, using the most basic and mysterious forces in the universe-the original force and the holy light. They are also attached to a country, but to be precise, they are not part of this country. ¡­


    Therefore, although the first draft of the script is completed, Ryan is still thinking and revising.


    Strictly speaking, if it weren''t placed in the context of Star Wars, even his Anakin Skywalker would not be considered a successful role, especially the transition from light to dark, which is particularly abrupt.


    This also has something to do with George Lucas¡¯ not good at scripts.


    Therefore, in Ryan¡¯s conception, the focus of Alsace¡¯s ink in the first part was the change in his thoughts. Unlike Anakin, he really wanted to protect Lordaeron, but because he couldn¡¯t save the people. Death and the fanatical pursuit of the power to protect the kingdom have gone astray.


    When he walked to Stratholme, the prince who vowed to protect the kingdom and the people had no choice.


    Could he really go away like the Knights of the Silver Hand and Jaina Proudmoore?


    The former is part of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but they are first loyal to the Holy Light, not to mention the latter, that is the future queen of Kul Tiras, and Stratholme is not her people.


    The script still needs to be revised. As for the final choice, Ryan also needs time to weigh.


    After staying in the room until the evening, Ryan and Charlize put on their dresses, drove away from Jenkins Manor, and went to the Four Seasons Hotel to participate in a charity fundraiser on AIDS among African children.


    The event was hosted by the UN refugee agency. The participants excluded Hollywood celebrities, as well as many well-known political and commercial figures. The donations raised that night even exceeded 50 million U.S. dollars.


    "Hi, Ryan, Charlie."


    In the banquet hall, Ryan and Charlize shook hands with Drew Barrymore and Arnold Schwarzenegger who came over.


    "Arnold, when can we push for reforms that are more beneficial to Hollywood?" Ryan asked the current governor, "Hollywood and Burbank''s studios, it''s hard to see the crew."


    "You know, Ryan." Schwarzenegger and Charlize touched their glasses and said before drinking, "Reform is not easy, and we face great resistance."


    He was uncomfortable as governor, and even depressed.


    "What about my proposal?" Drew suddenly interjected, "I have already done Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Bruce Willis."


    "I have no problem." Schwarzenegger''s clear gaze swept across Ryan and Drew Barrymore. "But I want to declare that I can only play a cameo."


    "No problem. UU reading "


    After Drew responded, Schwarzenegger said apologetically and went to the other side to socialize.


    "So." Charlize immediately understood what they were talking about. "Drew, your long-planned action movie is about to begin preparations."


    "Can persuade the four of them to take a pay cut." Drew Barrymore looked at Schwarzenegger''s back. "The rest are much easier."


    For second- and third-rate action stars like Ronger, Jeter Lee, and Terry Cruise, it doesn''t matter if there is more than one, and one less.


    "What about the director and the script?" Ryan asked.


    "The director is tentatively scheduled to be Sylvester Stallone." Drew roughly understood what Ryan meant. "I rejected Stallone''s proposal to write the script himself. I have already contacted Jenkins Pictures, and the screenwriting team will create a suitable script. ."


    As long as the script is logical, the most important thing is to measure the scenes among the big action stars, otherwise it will be a headache for these troublesome guys to make trouble on the set. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 758： Feelings should be cultivated from an early age

    Since mid-March, "Transformers" has been rolled off the film market in various parts of the world, including North America. By the beginning of April, except for a few small countries that can be almost ignored, the global screening of this film has basically ended. Box office share from all over the world has also been put in place.


    In North America, the excellent 3d and imax special effects of "Transformers" have always maintained a certain theater line, especially the expensive imax theater. Until the film is off the line in North America, there are still nearly 20 screens. It also made the film full of stamina, eventually surpassing "Pirates of the Caribbean 3"''s $375.88 million and "Jurassic Park 3"''s $389.21 million. With $413.55 million, it won the North American box office champion of the year. throne.


    Similarly, in terms of global box office, "Transformers" also beat "Jurassic Park 3" at $985.33 million and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" at $973.42 million, locking in the world with more than $1.025 million. The box office champion''s throne.


    This is also the movie starring Ryan, since "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith", the global box office has exceeded 1 billion US dollars for the first time.


    These three films became the top three in North American and global box office last year.


    Box office is only a part of film revenue. Under the operation of Walt Disney''s entire industry chain, the box office of such hot films often only accounts for 30% or even 20% of film revenue.


    Just after "Transformers" went offline from North America, the film¡¯s Blu-ray DVDs were officially launched for sale. Due to the huge pre-determined base, the two sets of DVDs sold 6.8 million copies on the first day of the shelves, and the first week¡¯s The sales volume is more than 11.5 million copies.


    This is also the highest first week sales record of discs/video tapes in the North American market so far. Although not many people choose the $39.9 luxury package, 80% of them bought the regular version of $19.9, but only one week Over time, the disc alone has brought Disney US$200 million in revenue.


    There is also TV copyright. The first round of "Transformers" TV broadcast was handed over to the TV station, which directly brought in advertising revenue of up to 6 million U.S. dollars, and then landed on the two major video sites and hulu, and entered the network by paying on-demand.


    At the same time, Netflix obtained the online film rental business. In less than ten days, the single film "Transformers" earned nearly 4 million U.S. dollars.


    Even if it does not count derivative peripheral products, the copyright operations of Disney''s companies alone have allowed Transformers to generate more than US$250 million in revenue for the group in less than a month.


    Even if it is the same as a movie box office. These revenues will diminish rapidly over time, but this is not a theater that will be downgraded after a period of time, but a business that can be promoted for a long time.


    What''s more, there are toys that Hasbro sold almost crazy.


    In the five months of the film¡¯s global hits, Hasbro sold more than 37.5 million film-related Transformers around the world, with revenue of up to 300 million U.S. dollars. Even if Disney can only share 30% of the profits, Still a considerable income.


    There are also cultural shirts, t-shirts, comics, stationery, and other copyright transfer fees, which don¡¯t take much time. Disney''s income from peripheral copyrights and derivatives will catch up with the film''s global box office.


    Such a profitable film, even if Ryan is not promoted, Disney will put a sequel on the agenda.


    Before the Oscars ceremony. "Transformers 2" has entered the preparatory stage. Michael Bay and Industrial Light and Magic took the lead in launching the modeling and production of Transformers. Among them, the first part of Optimus Prime¡¯s highlight is the temptation of Megatron¡¯s complete depravity. On stage, new characters such as Sonic, Hercules, Hengpao and Arce will also appear.


    Among them, Megatron, who fell in love and killed Optimus Prime, must be indispensable.


    There is also a script passed to the Pentagon. As the biggest sponsor of the film, they definitely have the right to express their opinions.


    Of course, the film''s pre-sale, investment promotion and peripheral development work. The ¡®Autobot¡¯ studio has been going on.


    According to the feedback from the Pentagon, their sponsorship will be upgraded. Not only will they allow the crew to go to the USS Stanislas for on-site shooting, they will also dispatch a large number of warships, aircraft, tanks and Marines to assist the crew in shooting. In this free sponsorship mode, Some of the suggestions put forward by the Ministry of National Defense are not non-negotiable.


    As for why the Pentagon is so enthusiastic?


    After the release of "Transformers", there was a big discussion about American equipment, especially the F-22 Raptor fighter, which became popular almost overnight. Although this stealth fighter was not sold in the Pentagon, it did enough to promote other weapons.


    According to reliable information received by Ryan, the military orders received by the Pentagon seem to have increased a lot in recent months.


    Then there is the propaganda of the US military. According to the show in the film, the American soldiers seem to be well-disciplined and friendly with the people of the Middle East.


    In fact, the difference in military discipline of American soldiers...


    These are not in Disney''s consideration at all. All media groups, including the other side of the Pacific, are doing things that accept sponsorship and sing praises for others.


    On the other hand, Disney¡¯s new film plans are also being launched one after another. For example, the shooting of "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" has begun; "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" has entered the post-production stage; Kristen Stewart Received the first draft of the script for "Twilight Saga: Twilight"; the filming of "Thor" and "Iron Man 2" is about to end; Jos Weeden and the writer of Marvel Comics finalized the first draft of the script for "The Avengers"...


    Surprise also ended the negotiations with Hugh Jackman, "Wolverine Prequel" is about to start filming, and Brian Singer, after experiencing the failure of "Superman Returns", reinvests in the arms of Surprise, and is adapting the new "x" based on the comics. "Men" trilogy.


    "Sanny..."


    Under the palm trees in the garden, Charlize dangling in front of the stroller with a rattle, "Call me... Godmother."


    "Oh...oh..." Sandy murmured vaguely after uttering a few simple monosyllable words with beautiful blue eyes, "Mom...mi."


    Putting down the script just sent by the Jenkins Films screenwriter, Ryan stood up and stretched, and walked to the side of her daughter''s stroller, "Hi, Sunny."


    He just beckoned, the little guy reflexively shouted, "Mom...mi."


    "Call..." Ryan squatted aside, gesturing, "Dad...Dad."


    "Mom...mi." The little guy seemed to only say this one word.


    The caregiver walked over here with a milk bottle at this time, and Charlize hurriedly picked it up, "I''ll feed her."


    Seeing Charlize putting the baby bottle in front of her daughter, Ryan made a silent gesture to the surroundings. The little guy has a bad habit. If the sound is too noisy when eating, she will cry loudly. Her mother is not here now. Here, how to coax her is no small trouble.


    Fortunately, Sandy inherited his advantages and didn''t recognize the birth. Soon after drinking the milk, he closed his eyes and struck a little heart.


    Lisa, who had been sitting by her side drinking tea, came over, "Ryan, I have cleaned up a room for Sandy. Let me take her to rest."


    "Okay." Ryan nodded, "Sanny will take care of you temporarily."


    Watching Lisa and the caregiver pushing Sandy into the villa through the back door, Charlize walked to the white plastic table, sat at the position where Ryan had just been, took the script in front of him, and asked while browsing quickly, "She Not in Los Angeles?"


    Ryan knew who she was asking, took two teacups, sat opposite Charlize, poured black tea, "Nicole went to New York to negotiate a contract with a director."


    "No wonder you brought Sunny over here." Charlize showed a clear look.


    "Aren''t you going to be a godmother?" Ryan drank the lipstick tea and put down the cup. "The relationship should be cultivated from a young age."


    "Don''t worry, no matter what I think of her mother." After being together for so many years, Charlize didn''t mean to hide it, "It won''t extend to Sandy."


    "If there is anything wrong in it," she said with her eyes widened. "Ryan, that''s all your fault, too."


    "So..." Ryan spread his hands and said, "If you want to be a qualified godmother, you have to increase your chances of getting along with Sandy."


    "It will always be better than your unreliable father."


    Shrugging, Charlize stopped talking and focused on the opened script, while Ryan was drinking tea and thinking about her daughter''s growth.


    Sandy is about to be one year old. The fact that he has a daughter is not a secret among friends in the circle. A small party will definitely be held by then...


    Suddenly, Charlize''s words sounded again, interrupting his thinking, "Ryan, is this the script you prepared for Natalie Portman to impact the best director Oscar?"


    "Just one of them."


    Hearing what Ryan said, Charlize asked suspiciously, "This subject..."


    "A woman wants to get the best director Oscar." Ryan looked at Charlize, and said, "It''s probably not enough to have films and public relations We have to rely on the socio-political situation."


    "Charlie, you should be able to feel it." He continued, "Since last year, mainstream society has had more reflections on the Iraq War, and as time goes by, this voice is bound to become stronger and even worse. Before and after the next presidential election, there was a strong voice for withdrawing troops from Iraq."


    "I think I understand." Charlize closed the script.


    "Oscars have never been far away from politics." Ryan closed the script. "Just like "Argo" won the best picture, the political situation sometimes has a huge impact on the attribution of awards."


    "I knew that." Charlize said deliberately sourly, "I started to learn to be a director."


    "Hey, Miss Billionaire." Ryan knew she was joking and joked, "If you are willing to abandon the hard-working brand, I have no objection."


    Last year, ct candy and ct''s various fashion products, with the help of Disney''s platform, created more than 50 million US dollars of net profit for several shareholders of Charlize, and the entire brand valuation exceeded 500 million US dollars. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 759： The requirements of the Pentagon

    As the most famous city in Illinois, Chicago can surpass the capital Springfield in almost every aspect. It is not only the famous heavy industry center in North America, but also the famous media capital of the United States except New York and Burbank. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)


    A TV station directly affiliated to cbs is located in Chicago, and the most famous program of this TV station is "Albert and Rope and Movies".


    At this time, the person in charge of the TV station and the producer of the show are negotiating with Roger Albert''s agent.


    "Optimus Prime, Megatron..."


    Their assistants sent gift boxes mailed from all over the United States to Roger Albert¡¯s agent, "Bumblebee, Ironhide, ambulance, Starscream..."


    The producer looked at the pile of Transformers toys, his eyes almost staring out, "There are jacks, flying over mountains, shock waves and other Transformers that did not appear in the film. I can open a Transformers toy exhibition hall here. Up."


    "Lloyd..." He looked at Roger Albert''s agent and said very seriously, "Do you know what the most mailed items in the United States are after these toys?"


    I caught a bumblebee casually, with a striking note pasted on the yellow toy, and the producer said aloud, "For the great Roger Albert, please do it before he ridicules a movie next time. The name and origin of the character!"


    "This is only a part." He said loudly, "We have received more than 300,000 protest letters like this, and more than this are protest calls and emails!"


    "Hey, Cork," the agent said. "Calm down, we haven''t received large-scale protest letters in the past."


    "If there is only a letter of protest, we would have a big deal to issue a statement." The producer pointed to the door of the TV station and said, "Since "Transformers" was released in North America. At least 5,000 people outside are holding movie posters in protest every day. , Do you know what they protested?"


    "Those rich ladies from the Upper East Side of New York and their supporters. (Baidu search updates are the fastest and most stable


    Without waiting for the other party to answer, he gave the answer himself. "They asked your customers to ask Roger Albert to fulfill his betting contract. They asked him to withdraw from the critics."


    "Roger never promised that gambling agreement." The agent said quickly.


    "Now the mainstream media are hyping this topic." The producer''s eyes flashed, "The cbs side has been under tremendous pressure, and the main station even asked us to cut down the program "Ebert and Rope and the Movie"."


    "You can''t do this." The agent frowned. "We have a contract!"


    "We are also trying our best." The person in charge of the TV station who has not spoken suddenly said, "However, the main station limits the funding of this program, and the contract between us must be revised."


    "It''s impossible." The agent slowly tasted something and flatly refused. "Before this contract is fulfilled. Mr. Roger Albert will not change any of the letters above."


    "No change? Then only cut it off."


    The person in charge of the TV station frowned, "The cbs also does not lack programs that the audience cannot guarantee even 500,000."


    "Wake up, Lloyd."


    The producer of the TV station loudly reminded, ¡°This is not the last century. Roger Albert¡¯s influence has declined severely since 2003. Now the program¡¯s ratings are less than a quarter of 2003. By the time, how many people in the United States are really affected by his film reviews? One hundred thousand? I am afraid that this number is also an overestimate."


    "And without cbs, what is left for Roger Albert?" the head of the TV station said in a mocking tone, "Yahoo and Google couldn''t search for his online column, and the Chicago Tribune rejected him The proposal to return. More than 50 media in the United States have cancelled their reprinting agreements with you, and all major Hollywood studios and hairdressing brands have cancelled their cooperation with you. These are not secrets. If you don¡¯t have cbs, it won¡¯t take a few years. , How many people will remember the name Roger Albert?"


    "Or..." The sarcasm on his face became more and more obvious. In the past, cbs was led away by the other party. Now the situation has been completely reversed. If it wasn''t for the film critic who had some hype value, he would have directly treated this show. Cut it off, "Do you think ABC TV will invite Roger Albert as the guest speaker at the Oscars as it did five years ago? Don¡¯t forget. The current owner of ABC TV is Ryan Jenkins!"


    "Lloyd, go back and tell Roger Albert." The producer reminded again. "This is not the age of film critics, let him wake up from the glory of the past. If this self-centered attack method continues, the ratings of "Albert and Rope and the Movie" will continue to be fast. Decline."


    He threw an agreement to the agent, "This is a new agreement draft, you can take it back."


    Seeing that there was only one-fifth of the original income figures, the agent had the urge to smash the agreement on the opponent¡¯s face, but he still forcibly resisted it. Roger Albert was his biggest benefactor. Now that he has lost private public relations income from Hollywood, online columns are in trouble, and traditional media are indifferent. If even cbs shows are cut off, how much is Roger Albert''s worth?


    Holding the agreement, the agent left the TV station directly under cbs by car, but when the car passed the door of the cbs TV station, he couldn''t help looking out the car window again.


    Thousands of Transformers fans are gathering in front of the TV station, holding up posters of Optimus Prime and Roger Albert in their hands, chanting various slogans of sarcasm and protest.


    Who is the one being ridiculed? He doesn''t need to listen carefully to know that it must be his gold master.


    He even saw several posters held high by young girls. It was not Megatron who was beaten up by Optimus Prime, but Roger Albert.


    The agent slowly closed his eyes. The industry of professional film critics has been squeezed from one of the central points of the film industry to the most marginal position. The person in charge has been constantly mocking the hot market in recent years. The film has attracted more and more protests, and its influence has rapidly declined...


    Especially this time, he disregarded his advice and published that comment on "Transformers", which directly led to an even more embarrassing situation today.


    With a light sigh, the agent understood that the world has changed a long time ago, and the Hollywood film industry has also changed.


    In fact, he knows very well that since Ryan Jenkins led Hollywood film companies to cancel some public relations sponsorships for film critics, Roger Albert has made comments on the other party¡¯s commercial productions, but he has not attracted the other party too much. A fierce counterattack.


    As a result, even he had to admit that professional film critics were marginalized, and those criticized remarks did not affect too many audiences at all.


    Secondly, with Ryan Jenkins'' current status and status, as long as the criticism is maintained on the content of the movie, I must not bother to pay attention to such small characters as Roger Albert.


    But this time is different. Roger Albert directly called on the audience not to watch "Transformers". This has touched the interests of Ryan Jenkins and even the entire interest group he represents.


    It''s actually expected that such an evil result will be brought, isn''t it?


    Slowly opening his eyes, the agent named Lloyd looked at the draft agreement in his hand and suddenly moved his mind.


    It is time for me to leave the circle of film critics. Roger Albert has become a public enemy of Hasbro and Walt Disney.


    With his own qualifications, he can join any brokerage company in Hollywood.


    Yes, just do it, let these film critics who are getting less and less attention go to hell!


    On the way back, this agent named Lloyd made the decision to abandon his current customer.


    Perhaps this was the result of Ryan¡¯s push behind the scenes, but he didn¡¯t know, even if he knew it, he wouldn¡¯t take it to heart. He spent most of his free time in April with Michael Bay, the Pentagon, and Joss. In terms of Weiden and Marvel, they continue to discuss the two scripts of "Transformers 2" and "Avengers" through meetings and emails.


    For the latter, Jos Weiden and the screenwriter of Surprise have a general idea for a long time, and now they are more about measuring the roles of several superheroes.


    "Transformers 2" is a lot more troublesome. The Pentagon has put forward a lot of suggestions. They are a little dissatisfied that the first Chinese and American troops did not kill any Decepticons alone. They want the crew to add more in the second. Regarding the shots of the US military, especially the final battle, I hope that the US military can resist the crazy attack of the Decepticons by sea, land and air joint operations Even, their proposal is still in the theoretical and laboratory stage. The railgun, killing an important member of the Decepticons, in order to demonstrate the advanced and powerful weapons of the US military in the future.


    As the largest sponsor of the film, the Pentagon¡¯s proposal must be considered. Ryan and Michael Bay also came up with some compromises after discussions.


    For example, after Starscream fled back to Cybertron, with the support of King Kong, a new batch of Decepticon members was cultivated. However, these Decepticons lack sufficient energy support and are bound to be much weaker, and they are single. The styling can not only save the cost of cgi production of the crew, but also be handed over to the US military to torture...


    As for those Decepticon members who have names in toys, comics, and cartoons, let''s continue to hand them over to Optimus Prime.


    There is also the issue of the railgun. Ryan and Michael Bay are also communicating with the screenwriters, trying to find a way that the producer and the Pentagon can reach a consensus.


    In short, the film will inevitably show the bravery and powerfulness of the US military, but there must never be a plot where a small group of US troops can kill the Decepticons. (To be continued) R466

 Chapter 760： Invitation from the royal family and prince

    Excluding the Pentagon, the Autobot studio is also negotiating with China Film Group. If possible, the crew wants to shoot in Shanghai. The studio is also negotiating with a computer manufacturer and a milk manufacturer from China. In case of accident, the trademarks of these two companies will appear in "Transformers 2."


    The success of "Transformers" attracted a large number of sponsors for the subsequent films, especially the performance of breaking all box office records in China, which made many Chinese companies target the implanted ads.


    Nowadays, the box office market of Chinese movies is growing rapidly at a rate of more than 25% or even 30% every year, which makes more and more Hollywood filmmakers choose to film all over China.


    For example, James Cameron¡¯s "Avatar" in preparation has already been determined to go to Zhangjiajie in China to shoot.


    Some Chinese companies, after occupying a dominant position in the domestic market, also want to use the global influence of Hollywood movies and Hollywood stars to expand the international market.


    For example, Natalie received an endorsement invitation from a Chinese company who offered 15 million US dollars to let her associate with the world.


    "Ryan, you know China better."


    Coming over from the setter, Natalie sat beside him, "How is the reputation of this computer company?"


    "It seems not bad, right?"


    After taking Natalie''s cup from the table, Ryan poured coffee for her. "It is said that they are partners for the Olympics next year. Didn''t they acquire a department of ibm in North America some time ago, and achieve a snake swallowing elephant?"


    "That''s it." Natalie held up the cup and thought for a while. "I''ll go back and notify Pat to get in touch with them."


    "Don''t worry." Ryan filled Natalie again. "If "The Hunger Games 2" next month sells as big as the first one, Disney will definitely give you about 20 million for your next film. U.S. dollar salary, when you enter the 20 million club, the other party will inevitably offer a higher price."


    "Leave it to Pat to handle it." Natalie didn''t care much. "I have to finish the later stage of "Black Swan" and cooperate with the promotion of "The Hunger Games 2," and I don''t have time to think about it so much."


    "Are you sure you want to attend the Venice Film Festival?" Ryan also knew Natalie''s plan.


    "Yes." Natalie nodded, "When the film started, Scarlett and I submitted an application to the Venice Film Festival and passed the review of the competition unit. I am also confident that all the film will be completed in August. Later work."


    "My dear." Ryan suddenly laughed, "Pixar and I have also received an invitation from the Venice Film Festival."


    "So." Natalie immediately remembered the animated feature film being produced by Pixar Studios. "Ratuitous Mouse King is finished?"


    "Yeah, it''s done." Ryan took a sip of coffee. He said casually, "I heard John Lasset say that the Venice Film Festival seems to be giving out a special award for Pixar Studios."


    "It seems that they are also making some market-oriented reforms." Natalie immediately thought of the meaning behind it.


    "The Venice Film Festival is getting weaker and weaker." Ryan made a gesture that you understand, "If it is not reformed, it might become a film festival for self-entertainment someday."


    "Then "Ratatouille" will be released this year?" Natalie asked again.


    "Thanksgiving file." Ryan pointed to the cup that Natalie put down, and when she saw her shaking her head, he said, "The summer file was originally scheduled, but at the beginning of this year. Disney completed the acquisition of DreamWorks Animation Studios. As a result, two animated feature films under the banner of Disney, "Tangled" and "Kung Fu Panda" will be released in the summer file. "Ratuitouille" can only be pushed to the second half of the year."


    "Your animation empire is complete." Natalie teased deliberately.


    "It''s ours." Ryan held out a finger. Emphasized, "My dear, don''t forget that you are also one of the shareholders."


    "It''s just a small retail investor who holds less than one percent of the shares."


    Just after speaking, Natalie laughed herself. "I heard that the Oriental DreamWorks is about to be established?"


    "When "Kung Fu Panda" is released in China, it will be officially announced." Ryan tilted his head. "This is good for the film and the Oriental DreamWorks."


    "Recently, a lot of media have been promoting that you and Jeff Katzenberg want to relocate DreamWorks Animation Studios to the Far East."


    Hear the gossip about Natalie. Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head, "Do you think this is possible, Nat? The Oriental DreamWorks is just to make use of China''s relatively cheap technical staff. DreamWorks Animation Studio will also hand over some China-related content to Oriental DreamWorks Production, but moved over as a whole..."


    Having said that, he shook his head vigorously, "The reason why Hollywood movies are popular all over the world, apart from attracting film talents from all over the world, the most important point is that we have an absolute leading position in the film industry."


    "Although I like Chinese culture very much." Ryan continued, "But to be honest, China now does not even have a sound film industry foundation, and Oriental DreamWorks can only do some marginal work in the future, let alone DreamWorks animation. The studio is to relocate Pixar Studios and Industrial Light & Magic as a whole. In China, which lacks a sufficient foundation for the film industry, there is only one way to fail.


    The film industry, like other industries, is not a problem that can be solved simply by relocating equipment and personnel.


    After talking about the differences between Chinese and American films, Natalie finished her break and continued to work on the post work of "Black Swan" with the editor. Ryan left the Disney studios and returned to her headquarters in Disney. Office.


    As soon as he entered the office, the secretary came to inform him that Roland Emmerich had arrived.


    "Hi, Roland." Ryan stood up and shook hands with the disaster film director. "Long time no see, have you finished the inspection?"


    "Yes, I ended the inspection."


    At Ryan¡¯s greeting, Roland Emmerich sat across from the desk, ¡°According to the script¡¯s setting, I visited many overseas areas and went to the ** plateau. There is indeed a mysterious and magical place. land."


    Seeing Ryan nodded, he continued, "But the environment and climate there are too bad, and shooting on site will be difficult. I think choosing another location in China would be the best choice."


    "Touchstone Pictures has established a dedicated studio for the film."


    To be honest, Ryan still admires Roland Emmerich a little bit. After getting the script, in order to consider the possibility of shooting on the spot, he went to the roof of the world in person. "Funding, equipment, manpower, and publicity, they will I will assist you with all my strength."


    "I will then go to Touchstone Pictures to meet with the producers." Roland Emmerich seemed to be impatient and stood up to say goodbye to Ryan, "That''s it for now, Ryan, I am looking forward to destroying with Disney. worldwide."


    After staying for less than ten minutes, Roland Emmerich left, and this also announced that the film with the end of the world as a selling point was officially in preparation.


    Originally, Ryan wanted to return to the Disney Studios, but received a call from Nicole from London.


    She went to London to attend a charity dinner hosted by Wendi Deng. One day after the banquet, she received formal invitations from the British royal family and Prince William.


    The royal family invited her and Ryan to a royal banquet in July, while Prince William invited the two to attend a commemorative concert at the New Wembley Stadium on July 1.


    As for the object of remembrance, it was William''s mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.


    July 1st is Princess Diana¡¯s birthday. This year is the tenth anniversary of the death of Princess Diana. Although the media has hyped countless times in the past ten years about Diana¡¯s scandal and lover, she would not invite the royal family to see her even if she died, but in the UK People still have a special place in their minds.


    Both he and Nicole were friends of Princess Diana in the eyes of the media and the public, and naturally they would not refuse the invitation from William.


    In fact, in the past ten years, compared with Princess Diana''s close friends, the two of them are more like Princess of Wales'' best friends.


    Most people who have friendship with Diana have jumped out to make money in the past ten years. Only a small number of people, including him and Nicole, will remain silent when facing media interviews and other people¡¯s inquiries. Never tell the public about the private affairs of getting along with each other.


    Last year''s "Queen", almost used Diana''s behavior to accumulate money, and pushed it to the top.


    Prince William not only invited him to participate in this commemorative concert, but also vaguely expressed to Nicole that he hoped that he could sing "Farewell, England Rose" to kick off the concert.


    However, Ryan asked Nicole to refuse the other party''s request. Apart from other aspects, he has thrown away the music for so many years. If he sings live, I am afraid that there will be unexpected situations of broken sound or out of tune...


    Then After Ryan called Taylor, he informed Nicole that he could recommend Taylor to sing the opening overture...


    According to Nicole, the concert was co-sponsored by Prince William and Prince Harry. The entire concert was broadcast live to 140 countries around the world, with an estimated 1 billion to 1.5 billion viewers.


    Now, his short-lived pop singer status is almost forgotten by himself. This kind of opportunity is left to his younger sister who is devoted to the development of pop music. Presumably Prince William will not refuse Nicole''s suggestion.


    The royal banquet invitation is estimated to be related to Princess Diana. After all, last year¡¯s "Queen" not only allowed Helen Mirren to obtain the best actress, but also allowed the film to earn more than 50 million yuan in North America with a very low investment. Dollar box office.


    For Hollywood, a group of profit-seeking filmmakers, the subject matter related to Diana and the British royal family will certainly not be overlooked in the future.


    If the British royal family wants something in this respect, Ryan can only guarantee that the various Disney labels will not produce and distribute films on related themes, but can''t do more. After all, Hollywood has the right to freely produce films. Since "Ge", he has been constantly calling. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 761： Survive in the name of freedom

    Filming "Argo", which portrays Iran as a terrorist country, is Hollywood¡¯s freedom, and filming "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", which portrays Persians as cruel and tyrannical monsters, is also Hollywood¡¯s freedom, which is a call for freedom. As long as there is enough interest, even the "Fahrenheit 911" mocking the federal government is also produced and distributed by companies.


    Freedom, the most popular slogan in North America; freedom, the biggest reason and excuse to resist protest; freedom, the eternal theme of Hollywood movies.


    As for whether there is so much freedom in North America, would Hollywood producers and distributors care?


    Hollywood makes movies in the name of freedom, resists tyranny in the name of freedom, smears its opponents in the name of freedom, and applies double standards both internally and externally in the name of freedom...


    Also, in the name of freedom, the audience is called on to enter the theater.


    When the month of May arrived, a dazzling mocking bird with a sharp arrow in its mouth became a symbol of freedom on the big screen and even North America as a whole.


    Because of the huge sales of "The Hunger Games" in North America, "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire" was named the most anticipated movie of the year as early as last year. The large number of fans accumulated in the first novel and film also made Walt Disney Relatively save a lot of advertising and marketing costs.


    Although it only spent more than half of the publicity costs for the first film, the film has always maintained enough topical interest, even from the day of the preparation of "Sparkling Fire", all kinds of true and false news have continued to explode.


    For example, the name of the film has changed from the original "Catching Fire" to "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire" several times; for example, it is rumored that Sophia Coppola resigned as a director because of a conflict with Natalie Portman, but a few days later Another reporter photographed the two intimately chatting and dining; for example, the crew held a huge audition for the''tribute'', and most of the finalists were Disney idols like Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens. ...


    In short, "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire" has never lacked topics for public discussion.


    The biggest and most explosive piece of news appeared a week before the film¡¯s release. Disney Pictures held a press conference to announce the successful contract renewal with Natalie Portman. She will continue to appear in the next Hunger Games 3: Taunt Two parts of "Bird". And Disney paid a single film remuneration of 20 million U.S. dollars.


    There was an uproar throughout North America. This is Hollywood¡¯s fifth female 20 million club member after Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon and Charlize Theron, or the most among them. The young one.


    Although some tabloids are saying sour words, the mainstream media has given it affirmation. After all, the trilogy established Natalie¡¯s status as a popular actress in Hollywood, and "The Hunger Games" has become the most appealing Hollywood actress. One of the most powerful actresses.


    As for "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire", which has not yet been released, look at the pre-sale of the box office of 127.8 million U.S. dollars to know why Disney signed this contract.


    This news has played an excellent role in attracting attention. Since the first weekend of May, "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire" has set a new box office record in North America.


    The film''s box office on Friday''s first day reached 70.95 million U.S. dollars. It broke the single-day box office record of US$67.26 million held by "The Hunger Games"; the North American box office totaled US$158.07 million on the first Wednesday, surpassing the US$152.53 million of "The Hunger Games", setting a new box office record for the first week.


    Those tabloids who previously questioned Natalie''s worth of $20 million in pay, obediently closed their mouths.


    "To survive in the name of freedom!"


    This is Disney¡¯s slogan for "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire" and it has become a veritable slogan for earning money.


    "Throughout the history of Hollywood and the world of film, there has not been any film with women as the protagonist so popular; nor has any actress like Natalie Portman, relying on her own strength, to support the first week. $150 million at the box office."


    "The first week of the box office of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" gives us enough reason to believe. It will surpass the first. If you count the "Star Wars Episode 1" series as the heroine, Natalie Portman must She has become the female movie star with the highest cumulative box office starring film in the history of Hollywood, and she can even disregard most of the male movie stars in Hollywood."


    "Perhaps this is the beginning of a new era in Hollywood. Movies with women as the absolute protagonists will invade the screens in North America and the entire world on a large scale in the future. New feminism has been fully awakened on the big screen!"


    The comments in the "Los Angeles Times" were completely biased towards Natalie. The New York Times is no exception.


    "As a standard New York girl, Natalie Portman is full of talent. The actress is just one side of her. Don¡¯t forget that she has another side as a director. Don¡¯t forget that she is the second best director to win the Oscar. Nominated American women."


    With the help of the craze caused by "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", Disney has not forgotten to promote "Black Swan", and even released the first trailer made by Natalie herself.


    The new film directed by ¡®Kaitenis¡¯ has also aroused heated discussions among the media and movie fans, especially the fans who gathered through the "Star Wars Series" and "The Hunger Games" have expressed their expectations for the film.


    A week later, Warner Bros.''s "Wonder Woman 2: Sword of Flames" landed in North America, with a box office of $125.66 million on the first three days. The two films were completely self-improving and full of feminist female characters as the absolute protagonists. The film became the biggest winner at the beginning of this summer.


    And in the middle of the two, with a male as the protagonist, the only important female role in the movie that has been forced. The box office performance of "Sniping Life and Death" can only be described as horrible. The box office in the first week was only more than 14 million US dollars. The cumulative total for two weeks was less than 20 million US dollars.


    Perhaps the heroine was forced by the bad guys. The first villain¡¯s choice of black people was an important factor in the film¡¯s failure, but the box office failure of this film once again proved that letting a sniper as the protagonist of the film is definitely a big commercial film. Taboo.


    So far, the two sniper films with the largest investment in Hollywood history, "Arrived at the City" and "Sniper''s Life and Death Line" have not failed at the box office.


    Even in the future, Ryan does not remember that Hollywood has a sniper movie that has been a big success at the box office.


    This subject matter is like a pure pirate film. Very few companies will invest tens of millions of dollars in production, and the companies that have produced it often regret it.


    The movie market throughout May is basically the world of "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire" and "Wonder Woman 2: The Sword of Flames". The most popular stars must be the absolute protagonists of the two films, Natalie and Gail? Add more.


    By the end of May, the third weekend of "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire" had taken US$355.64 million from North America. The 97 overseas markets that were simultaneously released in the world also contributed US$263.57 million.


    The second part of this series still hasn''t changed the situation in North America and a bit colder overseas.


    However, this is also normal. After all, the feminist movement is in a fast-growing region like North America. There are few in the world, and the film must be affected by the social environment in the region.


    At the same time, another incident occurred this month. One of the original authors, Susan Collins, declared in an interview that after the completion of this series, the collaboration with Walt Disney will end. Her new works will not be released later. Will choose Disney as a partner.


    Although he became famous with the "Hunger Games" series from an unknown screenwriter, and received a revenue share of tens of millions of dollars, the copyright of the other half of this series is always in the hands of Ryan. As a result, the negotiation between Susan Collins and Disney was everywhere, and I was probably fed up with this situation where the initiative could not be in his own hands.


    This is too normal in Hollywood. The two sides came together for profit, and their cooperation broke down because of profit. Maybe someday they will re-cooperate because of interests.


    "To survive in the name of freedom!"


    While muttering, Taylor carefully wrapped a mockingbird brooch made of pure gold, "I also want to make money in the name of freedom."


    Ryan ignored the guy walking towards the storage room, but looked at the opposite side instead. That was Kristen Stewart who hadn''t seen him in a long time.


    The tomboys of the past not only grew taller, they also grew their hair, and their slender figure also showed a soft curve characteristic of women.


    "Kristin." Ryan folded his arms across his chest. "You are finally not a tomboy."


    "Ryan!" Kristen Stewart said dissatisfied, "That is the past, how about it? You have to look at the changes around you with a developmental perspective."


    "The change that happened?" Ryan asked deliberately, "What change? Why didn''t I find it."


    "Of course it was Christine who became a beautiful girl."


    In a rush of footsteps, Taylor walked behind Christine, hugged her and kissed her mischievously on the forehead, "Unfortunately, there is still a boyish smell."


    "Alison..." Christine wiped the saliva on his forehead eagerly.


    Tyler sat beside her happily, and then said seriously, "I just haven''t seen you for a long time and miss you very much."


    "Me tooAlison."


    After speaking, the two girls who had grown up together gave a strong hug.


    Then, Kristen Stewart turned here, "It''s not all because of Ryan. He suggested to my mother that I go to a professional acting class to study. I stayed at the California Academy of Art for two full years!"


    "My dear, this is good for your future development." Ryan put aside his joking attitude and said seriously, "Christine, although you entered this circle very early, acting has always been your weakness. "


    "Yeah, Ryan is right." Taylor answered, "you won''t be a facial paralysis who only appears in vases in the future, right?"


    Christine simply stopped talking about the guy who always likes to hit her, and asked Ryan, "Can we go to Sandy''s birthday party?"


    "Dear."


    Before Ryan could answer, Taylor answered, "If we want to go, when do we need to consult him?" (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 762： Sister said to teach bad guys

    The emerald green turf is as soft as a carpet, the blooming flowers adorns the surroundings, the colorful balloons floating in the air, cute dolls can be seen everywhere, and the back garden where parties are held is like a dream world in a fairy tale.


    Under the supervision of a few caregivers, the hapless Patrick Schwarzenegger was forced to become the king of children, leading Lily Mossine, Elizabeth Cameron, and Apple Martin to harm everyone in Nicole¡¯s garden. Flowers, and occasionally stretched their poisonous hand to the blooming hydrangea, they always drew Taylor''s reprimand.


    Not many people are invited to the party, and all who can come here are the core members of Ryan''s circle, or his long-time friends with Nicole.


    "Hi, Nami."


    Seeing Naomi Watts with her stomach upright, Ryan couldn''t help but joked, "How does it feel to be a mother."


    The expectant mother just shrugged to him, took Nicole to the side, and shared the joy of each other with her girlfriends.


    Greeting Levi Schreiber, who was dropped by Naomi Watts, Ryan took a circle on the lawn and chatted casually with the guests who came over.


    Those who came today are all old friends, and they don''t need to be so polite with each other.


    At the two snow-white dining tables, most of the men sat together, chatting about their careers and the current situation in the circle, while the women gathered around the stroller to send blessings to the angel who celebrated today''s birthday.


    And those little ghosts, after Taylor stopped the flowers from harming them, at the suggestion of Lily Moxin, they overturned the balloon arch at the entrance of the lawn to the ground, and happily stepped on the colorful balloons. .


    Patrick Schwarzenegger, the oldest, quickly distanced himself from these little ghosts to show that these pranks had absolutely nothing to do with him.


    "I haven''t seen you in a few years."


    After looking at the daughter who was kissed by a group of nominal teaching mothers, Ryan sat next to Schwarzenegger, "Patrick has grown up."


    "Thinking is still naive." Schwarzenegger looked at his son who was forcibly pulled by Epple and Elizabeth to step on the balloon. "You have already made jaw-dropping results when he is his age."


    "Arnold, this is not fair to Patrick."


    James Cameron, who was sitting on the other side of Schwarzenegger, spoke. "In North America and the whole world, how many people can be like Ryan?"


    "You''re right, Jim." Schwarzenegger held up his glass and touched Cameron. "If Patrick learns from Ryan, it will only undermine his self-confidence."


    "Patrick is very girlish." Ryan joked, "Lily, Apple, and Elizabeth like him very much."


    "Do you like to play tricks on him?"


    Ryan and James Cameron both laughed when they heard Schwarzenegger''s words.


    Just as a few people were talking and laughing, Apple Martin walked over obliquely. He pulled Ryan''s arm hard, "Godfather, I want to see my sister."


    Waved to James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ryan picked up the little girl and walked towards the stroller.


    "It''s better for me to hold Apple."


    Taylor didn''t know when he chased up from behind and took the little girl from Ryan, "Apple, do you remember me?"


    "remember."


    The little girl over three years old can already recognize people, "You are Tyler. Lily''s badass sister."


    "Who said this?" Taylor just opened his eyes and quickly eased his expression, "Honey, who said this?"


    "He..." Epple''s little finger pointed in the direction they came.


    When Ryan looked back. Realizing that the hapless guy turned out to be Arnold Schwarzenegger''s son Patrick Schwarzenegger, he couldn''t help shook his head.


    "It turns out to be Arnold''s stupid son." Tyler''s muttered voice sounded in his ears, "Look at how I look back to tease him."


    "Why don''t we beat him up?"


    The voice behind him was so familiar that Ryan knew it was Kristen Stewart without even looking. "Alison, we will trick him into the woods for a while, and then teach him a lesson."


    I heard the unreliable words. Ryan couldn''t help looking back again. The tomboy was making a fist and rubbing his wrist, as if he was doing a warm-up exercise.


    "You two." He warned, "Don''t mess around."


    Taylor shrugged to Kristen Stewart and hugged Epple tightly. "My dear, what should we do if the godfather doesn''t allow us to teach bad guys?"


    "Mom said to listen to the godfather."


    The little girl obviously hasn''t reached the naughty age of lawlessness.


    "Dear."


    Several people have already reached the baby carriage. Gwyneth Paltrow probably heard her daughter''s voice and turned around, "What happened?"


    "My sister said to teach bad guys..." The little guy struggling to jump off Tyler, ran to the baby carriage, and juggled a flower that was almost squeezed out of his pocket. "Sanny, this is my gift. Your birthday present."


    "Mom...mi."


    It is a pity that Sandy, who is one year old, can still only call out her mother''s name.


    "I teased her for a long time."


    Scarlett Johansson walked over and habitually picked up Taylor, "Sanny didn''t even call her sister."


    "My dear," said her mother, Melanie Sloan, at this time, "when she grows up a little bit, it will happen. When you were young, you would not call mother until you were almost two years old.


    "It turns out that Scarlett was also stupid when he was a child." Kristen Stewart immediately answered.


    Regardless of the girls who always like to quarrel, Ryan stood beside Nicole, looking at her daughter with her eyes in the stroller, her joy was beyond words, and her angel was slowly growing up.


    He slowly squatted down and reached out to grab his daughter''s swaying hand. Sandy''s azure blue eyes slowly turned around and looked at him blinking.


    "Mom...mi."


    But the little guy still shouted out his mother.


    "Honey." Nicole bent over and gestured to Sandy, "Dad...Dad."


    The little guy looked at his mother curiously. It seemed that she had only mother in her eyes. Just when Nicole was trying to shape her mouth again, she suddenly spit out two monosyllables vaguely, "Dad...Dad."


    Ryan was stunned, unconsciously pinched his ears, and suddenly woke up, "She...she called Dad?"


    "Dad...Dad." Nicole guided again.


    Sandy blinked, and his voice was a little clearer than last time, "Dad...Dad."


    An unspeakable joy stuck in Ryan''s chest. He grabbed his daughter''s little hand, leaned over and kissed it, and the little guy couldn''t help laughing.


    Maybe the time spent outside today was too long and tired, or maybe there were too many people and the voice was a little messy. When Nicole fed Sandy with a milk bottle, the little guy finally let out a loud cry, and the flood even got wet. Tender little face.


    There was no way, Nicole had to push Sandy back to the room with the nanny.


    "Little crying guy."


    Taylor''s whispering sounded into Scarlett''s ears, and the little chubby girl immediately slapped, "I still remember when I first met you, you always cried."


    "No," Taylor denied without even thinking about it.


    "Is that so." Scarlett''s eyes turned to this side, "Ryan?"


    "Miss Taylor Swift..." Ryan turned and walked towards the banquet table, "I made it with water when I was a kid."


    "Little fat girl!"


    From an angle that no one else could see, Tyler grabbed Scarlett¡¯s **** forcefully, "I''ll show you a good look later."


    "Who is afraid of whom!" Scarlett opened her eyes.


    At the entrance of the lawn, Lily Moshin took a few little guys. After stepping on the balloon arch, she was probably tired, and ran back to their mothers. The crackling sound like firecrackers finally stopped. The rest are the sounds of people acquainted with each other joking together.


    "I heard that "Transformers 2" is going to be filmed in China?"


    As soon as Ryan sat down, James Cameron asked, "Is your application approved?"


    "Already passed." Ryan picked up the tea cup and took a big sip. "The crew should go to China next month. The specific time depends on the director''s shooting arrangements."


    "Don''t the "Avatar" crew also go to China?" Ryan asked.


    "My film crew has gone..." Probably unable to think of the name of the place, Cameron jumped over. "Just take some background shots. They are enough. You should know that the most important thing in this film is photography. Motion capture in the studio and post-production synthesis."


    Needless to say, Ryan also knows that Cameron is different from him. "Avatar" only needs a few background images, and "Transformers 2" went to China to shoot on the spot to increase the hype.


    Drew Barrymore approached him, sat next to Ryan, and asked Schwarzenegger, "Arnold, have you read the first draft of the script?"


    "I''ve seen it." Schwarzenegger nodded and said with a smile, "I don''t have many shots, and I have to laugh at myself and be ridiculed."


    "Don''t you really want to compete for president in the future?" Drew teased want to run for president. "


    Arnold Schwarzenegger may really have this idea, but he doesn''t have the conditions to run. "You know it''s impossible."


    "Arnold..." Scarlett and Taylor walked over here, "Even if you run for the next governorship, we will not support you."


    The people around Ryan laughed, they all understood the meaning of Scarlett''s words.


    Most Hollywood stars are keen on politics. Scarlett Johansson can be regarded as one of the leaders. As early as the last presidential election, she pulled votes for the Democratic candidate Kerry in public and in the media. Participated in a political rally of the Democratic Party.


    And Arnold Schwarzenegger¡¯s party is precisely the Republican Party.


    After Nicole came back, everyone sat together and discussed a few more current affairs and politics, and then gradually changed the topic. After all, it was clear that the governor of Arnold Schwarzenegger looked good, but life was not easy at all. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 763： A bad governor

    For Ryan, he knows Schwarzenegger''s current situation very well. The position of the governor of California has never been difficult to sit, and to some extent even surpasses the one in the White House.


    In the eyes of many political and economic celebrities and even the public who care about them, California is a small universe in the United States, a testing ground for all important things in all aspects of the country, especially politics.


    In 2004, Schwarzenegger defeated more than 100 opponents and became the second Hollywood star to take charge of the US state government as an actor since Reagan. He gave a speech at that time-I am in charge of California not for politics, but to save California. .


    Perhaps it, like all politicians, is full of performance elements, but California does need a strong figure to take it out of the quagmire. Californians also hope that a strong governor will bring California back on track.


    Partisan politics is a chronic disease in California. Californians support Schwarzenegger, who was born as a Hollywood movie star, to come to power. They hope that Schwarzenegger, who is half-way and wealthy, will not be subject to any interest groups. They hope that the "terminator" will break the partisan politics and change California. Political atmosphere.


    Although Schwarzenegger also received the support of some interest groups and represented the interests of these interest groups, frankly speaking, he still made a lot of efforts.


    After taking office, Schwarzenegger took some tough measures to attack the special interest groups he identified, but he encountered tough boycotts and countermeasures.


    In November 2005, the California Special Election Commission was preparing to hold a referendum on a number of governance issues such as the budget proposed by Schwarzenegger, the division of electoral districts, and the tenure of teachers. The interests of teachers, nurses, and the elderly are all due to Schwarzenegger¡¯s Policies have been hit.


    When Schwarzenegger referred to these people as "special interest groups" and said that special interest groups did not like him, these so-called "special interest groups" instantly joined together, taking nurses, teachers, firefighters, and retirees as examples. The main trade union organization became the main force opposed to this reform.


    As you can imagine, Schwarzenegger¡¯s proposal did not pass, and his political and economic reforms were easily defeated by trade unions and the huge interest groups represented by trade unions.


    Even these unions once sought to oust Schwarzenegger in advance.


    If it is not for the secret support of large groups such as Disney. It''s really hard to say whether Schwarzenegger can sit in this position now.


    After that catastrophic failure, Schwarzenegger, who lacked political experience, learned his lesson and began to think about the political reality of California. He took the responsibility for the failure and said at a press conference that if I were to play "Terminator" again ", I will let the''Terminator'' travel through time to tell Arnold not to hold that special policy issue reform.


    Afterwards, as a Republican, Schwarzenegger appointed a Democrat as the director of the governor''s office. Schwarzenegger gradually gained a foothold and turned his political line to the left, as if he was moving closer to the "moderates". In order to lay the foundation for winning re-election.


    One of California''s biggest problems is undoubtedly the fiscal deficit. Even the East Coast media once mocked that California might become the first state in American history to declare bankruptcy.


    What Californians most expect is that Schwarzenegger can end California¡¯s deficit. Schwarzenegger has also promised that his first priority during his tenure is to solve the deficit problem and even intend to promote the reduction of state government budgets.


    In the face of California''s budget problems, Schwarzenegger called for abandoning partisanism in the past, and he even coined the term "postpartisanism". That is, the two parties seek common ground while reserving differences and actively cooperate.


    "Seek a new politics, a new politics that can get rid of the positioning of traditional labels, break the constraints of the old rules and customs, and break out of the shackles of the old mantle."


    This is what Schwarzenegger said in a televised speech.


    But reality is always crueler than ideals, especially for politics.


    As early as the actor, Schwarzenegger once said-I adore any powerful figure in history. Even dictators, those great people who are still remembered thousands of years later, such as Jesus, are my idols.


    Although it is moving closer to the moderates. But in fact, he still wanted to play a strong role and implement his own fiscal policy, so he used government employees to cut their salaries. But this angered the powerful employee union, which once again united with other union organizations to launch a campaign to remove Schwarzenegger.


    In the end, Arnold Schwarzenegger had to compromise again, and the tough guys and terminator on the screen, even reduced to a disadvantaged group in real politics, had to completely vote for the ¡®moderate¡¯.


    The vested interests will never sit back and watch reforms that are unfavorable to them happen. In any country and region in the world, it is extremely difficult for a determined reformer to sit in a high position. Even if they sit on it, they often do not end well.


    Schwarzenegger is definitely not a staunch reformer. After a series of setbacks, he naturally chose to shelve these issues for the time being.


    Perhaps in his mind, there is no idea that these problems should be resolved by his successor.


    At a party at the beginning of this year, Schwarzenegger once complained to old friends such as Ryan-just stepping into the governor''s office, he felt that the governor had great power, but he felt that his power was limited because it was not a performance by one person. When you want to reform taxation, you need to discuss with 120 councillors, all of whom have their own opinions. "


    Schwarzenegger even thinks this is the fault of liberal democracy, "Democracy has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages."


    His words are not unreasonable. For example, Schwarzenegger tried to promote tax reforms on Hollywood and the film industry several times, but he simply failed to pass the state legislature.


    In the past two years, Schwarzenegger''s public support rate has been declining, and the already messed up California financial problems have even become even more chaotic in his hands.


    However, Ryan is no longer a political idiot who knows almost nothing in his previous life. This situation does have a lot to do with Schwarzenegger¡¯s lack of political experience and his own stance that is easy to shake, but California¡¯s fiscal crisis cannot be attributed to anything. On one person.


    California¡¯s fiscal crisis is a deep-seated problem, not just who is responsible, but a systemic problem for the California government. Faced with year after year of huge deficits and the worst credit ratings, California¡¯s two political parties cannot eliminate it. The differences have found a solution, and they stay in the political "comfort zone" and stick to their outdated political stances.


    And when, for example, Schwarzenegger and the previous governors wanted to promote fiscal and tax reforms, which violated their interests, these guys immediately jumped out to oppose it. This is not the case with Schwarzenegger. The governor of this term has been appointed.


    Thus, like all governments in the world, similar to these most difficult problems are naturally pushed to the heads of subsequent successors.


    As for whether the successor can be resolved, it¡¯s like Hollywood¡¯s voice in dealing with overseas protests. They don¡¯t care. Even if the state government goes bankrupt in their office, life may not be too much for these wealthy lawmakers. Many changes.


    The biggest reason for interest groups from Hollywood, including Ryan, to support Schwarzenegger is that he wants him to promote the reform of California¡¯s film tax laws and preferential policies, but given the current situation, hope is extremely slim.


    Schwarzenegger¡¯s biggest appeal now is to seek re-election and reach the peak of his personal political career. Although there are various rumors about his running for president, he does not have the qualifications to run for president.


    The Federal Constitution clearly stipulates that not only must candidates for president be American citizens, they must also be born in the United States!


    It can be said that the governor is already the pinnacle of Arnold Schwarzenegger''s political career. If he succeeds in re-election later, he will inevitably become one of the most criticized governors in California history.


    Next year, it will be one of the worst years in the United States. Real estate is a pillar industry in California. When the next governor takes over, he must be left with a fiscal deficit that is even more terrifying than the current $25 billion.


    Perhaps in the near future, Californians will need to pay courage and sacrifice, and even a higher price.


    But people like Ryan are definitely not in this rank.


    The sun turned to the west, and the guests who attended the party bid farewell one after another. Ryan and Nicole sent away most of the guests, only the younger ones stayed temporarily.


    "Alison..."


    At the door of the villa, Lily Moxin looked at Tyler who had packed her handbag, "Aren''t you staying here for the night? I stay here just to hear you talk about the concert."


    "Sorry, Lily."


    Looking at Scarlett who drove the car to the door of the villa, Tyler turned around and hugged Lily, "I have something to do with Scarlett today. I will tell you about it the next day."


    "Okay, then." Lily is much more reasonable than Tyler when she was a child.


    "You two don''t drive a car."


    Ryan hurried out of the villa and stopped Tyler and Scarlett, "If I remember correctly, you both drank."


    "That..." Tyler held up his hand and looked at the sky with sapphire blue eyes.


    "Scar, get off."


    He made a gesture to get off the car to Scarlett, who had a red face, and Ryan said to the housekeeper who followed Elsa, and told the driver to bring the car over and send them back. "


    "What happened?"


    Nicole also walked out, seeing Scarlett, who had a red face, immediately understood, frowning and saying, "Scarlett, Alison, don''t leave today."


    "It''s okay, Elsa has already notified the driver." Taylor''s eyes rolled, and he took a few steps to pull Scarlett over. "We have an appointment with someone to have a party at Scarlett''s in the evening."


    The black Rolls-Royce drove to the villa, Ryan waved to the two of them, "Let''s go."


    "Bye bye, Ryan."


    Scarlett just waved to Ryan when Tyler pulled him into the car.


    Watching Rousslaus drive out the door, Nicole suddenly asked Ryan, "Why do I always think Scarlett and Alison are weird?"


    "Hasn''t they been like this since they were young?" Ryan felt normal, "Don''t worry, they are very smart." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 764： If you want to win, you must prepare in advance

    After sending everyone away, Ryan went to the nursery with Lily Moshen who was following her ass. Sandy was still asleep and he was asleep. He stood by and watched for a while, and then confessed a few words to the nanny. Satisfied and left.


    Back in the living room of the villa, Nicole just came in through the back door of the villa.


    "Lily, you have also become naughty."


    Taking the towel from the servant, Nicole wiped her hands, walked over and gently pinched the goddaughter¡¯s nose, turned the couch, and sat on a single sofa, ¡°You¡¯re stepping everywhere in the garden. The bursting balloon fragments."


    "Sorry, godmother."


    Lily Mo Sim was much more obedient than Taylor when she was a child, she ran over and took Nicole''s hand, "We were so happy to play."


    "It''s okay." Nicole pulled her to her side, "Elsa has already found a cleaning company."


    Taking the coffee pot from Elsa, Ryan walked over with it, flipped over the cup on the coffee table, poured a cup for herself and Nicole, and after handing it to Nicole, he picked up his cup and sat down. On the single sofa opposite.


    "Is Sunny still sleeping?" Nicole asked after taking a sip of coffee.


    "It''s sleeping right." Ryan took a sip and put down the cup. "The babysitter is watching over there. The little guy is probably tired too, and probably won''t wake up in a short time.


    "She didn''t have a nap today, so she should take a little longer." Nicole looked at the goddaughter, "Lily, go to the desk in the study and bring me a script."


    "Still the same place?"


    Seeing Nicole nodding, Lily took a brisk pace and ran to the second floor.


    "What script?" Ryan couldn''t help asking curiously.


    "You know." Nicole said, looking at Lily''s back disappearing at the corner of the stairs, "I went to New York some time ago to negotiate a film contract with a director. Recently, he adapted the "Weakness: The Progress of the Game" by himself. The first draft of the script was mailed to me, and I think it¡¯s not bad. You can make some suggestions."


    Before long, Lily ran back with a script that was at most two hundred pages thick, and understood Nicole''s meaning very tacitly, and passed the script directly to Ryan, and then ran to the entertainment room to entertain herself. Up.


    Turning over the script, Ryan browsed it as quickly as possible, while Nicole introduced some basic information.


    "The title of the film is definitely called "Weakness." John Lee Hancock will be the screenwriter and director."


    Hearing Nicole''s words, Ryan raised his head, "Where did I hear this name?"


    "This is the person recommended by Julius." Nicole said roughly. "In 2002, John Lee Hancock worked with Disney Pictures on "Rookie Baseball". At a party some time ago, the old cowboy Clint Eastwood also recommended him to me."


    "John Lee Hancock and I have already met Anne Tauchy and Sean Tauchy." Nicole continued, "I also met the protagonist Michael Och in the book, shortly after that meeting. , He took out the first draft of the script."


    "It sounds..." Ryan flipped through the script quickly. "Are you satisfied with John Lee Hancock?"


    "It''s true." Nicole shrugged. "The book "Weakness: The Progress of the Game" introduces the story of Michael Och. It also explains the importance of a left tackle to an American football team. In-depth research, so "Weakness: Game Progress" has attracted the attention of countless people who love sports, especially American football."


    "But the film must not be shot like this."


    As a producer for a long time, Nicole also has her own experience, "A pure sports inspirational movie. It is just a niche subject, which does not meet our goals. After discussing with John, I decided to only intercept one of the novels. The main line was adapted to produce a mainstream Hollywood film."


    Raise your head. Ryan gestured to Nicole to continue.


    "We intend to focus on describing how great the family is, and focus on the non-traditional mother-child relationship with no blood relationship. Sports, especially American football, promoted the development of the whole story, but in fact it has nothing to do with sports. Because Michael Ou The development of the relationship between He and Tao Xi''s family is the core of the whole story."


    "Have you found an actor who played Michael Och?" Ryan turned over the script again.


    "Found it." Nicole rubbed her forehead. It seemed that this had caused her a headache. "It took a lot of effort for Pat to find a **** guy who has passed acting skills. He is now working on Michael Och''s. He was trained in the American football team of the University of Mississippi, his alma mater."


    Ryan didn''t say anything, but concentrated on going through the script roughly and thinking about it for a while.


    "The script is generally okay. However, Nicole, there are too many depictions of the black area in the script. The violence and racial opposition in the script will destroy the warm atmosphere of the script. It is best to take them away."


    The nanny walked into the living room holding Sonny at this moment, Nicole hurried over to take her daughter, and nodded to this side, "I understand."


    If you only look at the rich areas and the middle-class areas with better public security and location, North America seems to be a paradise in propaganda. But when you enter the slums and black areas, you will understand why the light is always filled with darkness. A typical American theme film does not require too many ethnic elements.


    This script is not written as a type of so-called elimination of racism and discrimination, and it does not even obviously involve this aspect at all. Its intention is much higher than this.


    The theme is not that white people should deal with black people''s mercy and charity, but let everyone discover the beauty, dignity and value in themselves. This is the beautiful interpretation of the so-called "manifesto" that "everyone is created equal".


    From another perspective, this is an inspirational story built with family as the core. Although it is inspirational, like Andersen''s "The Ugly Duckling", it is essentially not a story about a sparrow becoming a phoenix and an ugly duckling becoming a swan.


    The intention of the script is much more positive than this. Fundamentally, Michael Och is considered to be a phoenix and a swan, but he has serious blind spots. Once these blind spots are eliminated, he can show the best side to the world. .


    Regardless of the reality of North American society, these are extremely consistent with the values ??propagated by mainstream society.


    This film, like Natalie¡¯s "Black Swan", requires a longer preparation period. The main reason is that the black male protagonist has to practice some basics of American football, and the crew has to contact several high school and university American football teams. Fortunately, these are not as troublesome as the ballet training of Natalie and Scarlett. After all, American football is the number one sport in the United States.


    After Sandy¡¯s birthday party, Nicole¡¯s Kidman studio officially started preparing for the film, and Disney Pictures as a partner also joined it, with Nicole and Jules Stewart acting as producers. The adaptation of "Weakness: Progress of the Game" is also too worrying.


    Ryan paid more attention to Natalie''s "Black Swan" than the film that Nicole had just started preparing. Especially a few days ago, the special effects she commissioned by Pixar Studios had some problems.


    Pixar Studio is mainly responsible for the hair rendering when Natalie turned into a black swan in the last **** scene. In terms of generating and rendering hair, Hollywood can''t find a better special effect than Pixar, although the two sides had a few days ago. There was a little disagreement on the styling, but a consensus was quickly reached.


    After the special effects of Pixar Studios are completed, in addition to the need to add the soundtrack, the post-production of "Black Swan" is basically completed, and there will be no delay in attending the Venice Film Festival at the end of August.


    Because of the relationship between Natalie and the All-Star team of Pixar Studios, Ryan deliberately let people know the situation of this year''s Venice Film Festival, especially the situation of the judges and rivals in the competition unit.


    Through the reports submitted by his subordinates, Ryan knew that the Venice Film Festival was blowing Chinese style in recent years. Last year, it was a Chinese director who won the Golden Lion Award. The chairman of this year¡¯s jury is the director who will be the director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games next year. I saw the names of Ang Lee and "Lust Caution" on the entry list.


    I vaguely remember that the previous life "Lust and Caution" seemed to have won a heavyweight award in the three major European film festivals. Now it seems to be the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. In this case...


    It seems that I don''t have much relationship between Italy and Venice, and it seems that Disney Europe and Far East branches should start work in advance.


    As for Ang Lee, not to mention the Oscars, he helped him get Palme d''Or twice, and it was time to pay back the favor.


    He is a smart man, and he must also know what to do.


    In contrast, the jury composed solely of directors is somewhat difficult to deal with.


    The chairman of the jury from China with the surname Zhang will not say anything. There is no friendship between the two sides There are also French female director Catherine Brea, and New Zealand female director Jane who has directed "Piano Lesson". Campion, Italian director Emmanuel Crisales, Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inalido, who directed "Sky Tower", and Turkish director Folsom Ou Judges such as Zpeit and the Dutch director Paul Verhofen who had directed the "Black Book".


    Few of them are really closely related to Hollywood, and even those continental directors are relatively hostile to Hollywood movies.


    Since participating in the competition unit of the film festival, no one wants to go home empty-handed. At the beginning of June, Ryan called Martin Scorsese and Francis Coppola separately, and carefully selected a media public relations team, in advance Hurry to Italy to prepare for the publicity during the Venice Film Festival.


    However, Ryan can only do this for the time being, after all, there is still some time before the Venice Film Festival, and the summer vacation in North America is still strangling in chaos.


    Also in this month, Universal Pictures announced the annexation of Illumination Entertainment Animation Company, Illumination Entertainment officially became a subsidiary of Universal Pictures Company, and specialized in the production of animation films for the latter.


    The Hollywood animation business has completely ushered in the era of coexistence. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 765： 2 hardest things in the world

    Perhaps for Hollywood, the lighting entertainment animation company is relatively unfamiliar, and the only familiar one is Chris Mehler Dandley, the founder of the Blue Sky Studio, but this company can be acquired by Universal Pictures, and it must have its value. .


    Ryan is quite familiar with this company, mainly from a previous life, because this is the producer of Universal Animation "Despicable Me".


    Unfortunately, as early as several years ago, "Despicable Me" was resold by Ryan to DreamWorks Animation Studios just like "Kung Fu Panda". Although it was not like "Kung Fu Panda" which was about to be released, it also entered the end of production. segment.


    In this summer file, Walt Disney has two animated feature films, "Tangled" belonging to the Disney Animation Department and "Kung Fu Panda" produced by DreamWorks Animation Studios. In June, this traditional animation strong file took the lead. "Tangled" is on the big screen in North America.


    Like traditional Disney cartoons based on fairy tales and famous stories around the world, "Tangled" is adapted from "Lettuce Girl" in Grimm''s fairy tales, but the difference is that it maintains the singing and dancing, cheerful and sweet foundation, The character of the heroine Rapunzel Le Pei in the film has undergone an earth-shaking change.


    Just like what Ryan said in his speech in China, the biggest feature of Disney animation in the past, or the place that lags behind the times, is that there is always a female character waiting for a man to save her, and in this cartoon, although Princess Le Pei Still living on the high tower, but full of yearning for the outside world, and proactively went out, thus driving the hero to have to take risks with her.


    Times have changed, and Disney animation films with female audiences and teenagers as the main consumer groups must also change. If "Four Eyes" solves the technical problems of Disney''s animation department, then "Tangled" will Point out the direction for the future of Disney animation.


    Since 2002, Ryan and John Lasseter have been pushing the creative staff of Disney''s animation department to change their minds. "Four Eyes" is a technical experimental work. The "Tangled", which has been built for four years, is a successful experiment on creativity and theme adaptation, although there are still many flaws.


    "Tangled" received $65.78 million in North America on the first three days of the week, which is a normal and qualified first week box office, and the film''s ten-day box office of nearly 150 million U.S. dollars is enough to make the Disney Animation Department Matsuichi Tone.


    At the same time, the media also spoke highly of the film.


    ""Tangled" is the best animated feature film of Disney animation after "The Lion King", and Disney animation that has been in decline for more than ten years has re-emerged."


    "Although the results of the film are clear at a glance, the film interweaves the traditional storytelling with the modern sense of fashion."


    "Yes. The film is Disney''s consistent style, but it has a new interpretation of female characters, making Rapunzel more credible, sincere and beautiful as the story unfolds."


    "After years of sinking, under the leadership of Ryan Jenkins and John Lasseter, Disney Animation finally ushered in a moment of re-emergence."


    The former world animation hegemon gradually returned to the right track. With several heads of Disney''s animation department accepting media interviews, the reform that Ryan tried hard to promote at the beginning was quickly reported by the media and known to the public. Some tabloids even used exaggerated headlines like "Ryan Jenkins Saved Disney Animation".


    Compared with "Four Eyes" from Disney Animation, "Tangled" has achieved great commercial success, but it has also attracted a lot of criticism.


    Among them are many hand-painted animators from the former Disney animation department. They believe that now Disney will only desperately cater to the audience and the market. And lost his traditional style.


    Perhaps these words are not wrong. "Tangled" essentially deviates from the standard prince and princess Disney animation, but don''t forget. Traditional Disney animations have declined or even are on the verge of death. If no reforms are made, how many people still remember the long-lost Disney animation feature films?


    Moreover. Disney is not an art research department, but a standard commercial group. The reason why traditional Disney animation came out in the first place was simply to cater to the tastes of the market at that time.


    If you only know how to stick to tradition, but don¡¯t know how to adapt, and if you don¡¯t know how to advance with the times, I am afraid that the whole world is still in the Middle Ages.


    By the end of June, when the response of "Tang Fu" in the North American market gradually tended to be flat, "Kung Fu Panda" made its grand debut.


    Just joined Disney¡¯s DreamWorks Animation Studios, relying on Walt Disney¡¯s entire media group as a platform, the promotion and marketing of the film has reached a peak that DreamWorks Animation Studios has never reached before. The film¡¯s first week of theaters even reached nearly 4,200. Home.


    Also with the help of Walt Disney''s powerful advertising capabilities, DreamWorks Animation Studios also achieved the first real global simultaneous release.


    Although this animated feature film has aroused heated discussions in the media after its global release, the voices of criticism and praise are very loud, especially some Chinese-language media, which regard "Kung Fu Panda" as the victory of Kung Fu and Chinese culture to conquer Hollywood, but the reality Up?


    For Hollywood, this is just another "Mulan", DreamWorks Animation Studio just borrowed some Chinese elements, the film exudes a typical Hollywood flavor from beginning to end.


    Especially in the eyes of a Hollywood producer like Ryan, all Chinese elements in the film are connected by the core values ??of American culture, and values ??are the deepest part of the culture, which dominate people¡¯s beliefs. , Attitudes, opinions and actions have become a guide for people¡¯s actions.


    It can be said that no matter how exquisite the Chinese elements of the film "Kung Fu Panda" are, it is still a concrete manifestation of the cultural values ??of the producer, that is, the cultural values ??of the United States.


    The cultural concepts of the producer, that is, mainstream American culture such as the American Dream, self-confidence, independent struggle, personal heroism, and the concept of equality for all, have been well implemented from beginning to end.


    It¡¯s like Disney¡¯s cartoon "Aladdin" does not belong to the Middle East, "The Lion King" does not belong to Africa, "The Little Mermaid" does not belong to Denmark, and "Kung Fu Panda" does not belong to the Chinese world. It is a standard Hollywood manufacturing and wealth collection tool. It is like other North American movies that incorporate foreign cultures, but simply or even crudely borrows foreign elements.


    As for the reason, it is even simpler. These exotic styles can attract North American audiences. One of the biggest selling points of foreign films in North America is the exotic style.


    Therefore, "Kung Fu Panda" was very successful in North America, and received more than 140 million US dollars in two weeks. By the time of "Kung Fu Panda 2," Ryan''s memory seemed to have suffered a significant decline in the North American box office.


    Although there are many reasons for this, speaking of it, when watching the first part, the North American audience will find the exotic atmosphere very attractive, and when it comes to watching the second part, the same exotic elements will certainly no longer be as attractive as before. force.


    In fact, to put it plainly, "Kung Fu Panda" only tells a very simple story, which incorporates some Chinese elements, such as kung fu and Buddhist meditation, etc., to be precise, mixing the half-knowledge of Chinese culture and typical American ideas. The mixed product is not much different from other Hollywood cartoons.


    "Hollywood has conquered us with superb film skills and excellent picture effects, not the Chinese elements in it."


    When coming out of London Heathrow Airport, Nicole bought a few newspapers as a pastime on the road. The words in one of the Chinese newspapers kept a clear head in the hustle and bustle of the Chinese culture conquering Hollywood in the Chinese world.


    The two came to England to attend a concert to commemorate Diana convened by Prince William and Prince Harry. They got into the car that came to meet them and rushed directly to the booked hotel.


    ""Kung Fu Panda" is definitely going to be a sequel?" Nicole''s gaze returned from the car window.


    "Of course." Ryan closed the newspaper in his hand, "I don''t want to talk about other aspects of income, just the right to reorganize, I can get 10% of the box office share from it. If it is replaced with milk powder, it will be enough for Sandy to drink. I''m grown up."


    "Yeah, Ryan Jenkins'' works easily conquered the world once again."


    Tyler, who was sitting across from them, moved away from the newspaper in front of them and shrugged at the two of them, "This is written in The Sun."


    "What else..." She simply read a short paragraph, "...In the film and the surrounding industries, is there anything Ryan Jenkins can''t do?"


    "Oh, Ryan." Taylor deliberately changed his tone, "They seem to regard you as the **** of the film industry."


    "Remember, my dear."


    Ryan said to Taylor seriously Our success does not mean how strong we are, but we are more market-conscious than others and respect the market and audience more. "


    "I understand." Taylor nodded solemnly.


    "Our success is not easy."


    Only Nicole knew how hard Ryan had worked since the day he met.


    "There are two hardest things in the world." Ryan stretched out a finger, "How to put other people''s money into his pocket is one of them."


    "What about the other one?" Taylor asked with curious blue eyes.


    "How to put our thoughts into other people''s heads."


    Nicole and Tyler both laughed. After the laughter, Tyler said again, "We control so many media, isn¡¯t it just to achieve these two things? And in "Argo" and "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" In the whirlpool of public opinion that appeared in "Transformers" and "Transformers", we are all guiding the thoughts and public opinion trends of the American public, and we are also very successful." (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 766： You must have seen Satan

    "May God bless you, Your Highness."


    Entering the open box in the main stand, Ryan and Nicole shook hands with the two princes. The older William said politely, "Ryan, Nicole, thank you very much for coming to this concert. ."


    "It''s our honor."


    In a polite way, under the guidance of a staff member, Ryan took Nicole and sat next to Tony Blair.


    "Hello, Mr. Jenkins. Hello, Miss Kidman."


    Just sitting down, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Great Britain next to him stretched out his hand, and Ryan shook it lightly. After Nicole greeted him, he said, "I didn''t expect to see you here, Mr. Blair."


    "Just call me Tony."


    The prime minister who didn''t deal with the royal family very much, looked at the portrait of Diana hanging in the middle of the new Wembley Stadium and said, "His Royal Highness the Princess of Wales is a respectable person."


    Why did the other party appear here? Regardless of what happened to Ryan, he nodded and agreed, "It''s true."


    After chatting with Blair for a few moments, Ryan suddenly remembered that he was about to step down, and his mind quickly turned.


    "Tony, I remember that right." Ryan turned the topic to this aspect, "You should be leaving your post soon?"


    "Actually." Tony Blair smiled seemingly helpless. "On the 27th of last month, I had already submitted my resignation to Her Majesty the Queen."


    "Do you have any plans after leaving office?" Ryan asked directly.


    "I want to take a long vacation first."


    Hearing Blair''s words, Ryan slowly tapped his finger, "Are you interested in being a Disney consultant?"


    "Consultant?" Blair''s eyes lit up.


    Ryan said, "If you are interested, my people will talk to you in detail."


    Retired senior government officials become special consultants for business groups to help resolve issues in the fields of public relations, politics, and investment, which are normal in the United Kingdom and the United States. These nominal consultants. To put it bluntly, it is actually the "intermediary" of politics and business, using resources such as connections accumulated in politics to derive benefits from all over the world for business groups.


    What is the best thing about Tony Blair?


    It is undoubtedly a superb public relations method to deal with the public and the media. Before the public, he always shows the charm of a political leader, and often gives the audience a modern, informal and expressive feeling. Perhaps the world has left the most profound impression on Blair. The televised speech was his speech on the death of Princess Diana in August 1997, in which he described Diana as the "Princess of the People" and it was widely adopted by the media.


    Today is a night full of remembrance, the prime minister who has just submitted his resignation. Like Prince William, he also delivered a short speech.


    "Tonight¡¯s concert involves everything that our mother loved most during her lifetime-music, dance, charity, family and friends. All revenue from the concert will be donated to the charity organization sponsored by the mother during her lifetime. This is the best gift to the mother. Birthday present."


    After Prince William¡¯s brief words, Tony Blair also stood on the stage, ¡°Princess Diana is a very sensitive person to others, full of compassion, she embraces those things that others may avoid. Although she is a princess, she She is a living person again. Everyone knows that. The public loves her for this reason..."


    There was thunderous applause from the audience, no matter how the media had previously hyped, at least at this moment, everyone applauded.


    After a short memorial ceremony. The concert kicked off, and the opening song was "Farewell, English Rose", which set a global single sales record, but the singer is definitely not Ryan, the guy who has thrown away the music long ago. It''s Taylor.


    "Farewell, our English rose, may you bloom in our hearts forever.


    You are the personification of kindness. Caring and sheltering people who are displaced.


    You screamed out to the whole world, and you comforted those in suffering..."


    At the beginning, Taylor''s tactful singing could be heard, but after only a few words, the singing seemed to awaken the people''s memories of the funeral, awakening the recollection of Diana, and gradually a chorus appeared in the audience.


    The sound of the chorus was a bit messy at first, but it quickly became uniform. The super cantata of nearly 90,000 people in the audience completely overwhelmed Taylor''s singing.


    "Your life is like a candle in the wind. Even if the downpour continues, the light never disappears with the sunset.


    And your footsteps will reverberate forever, on the greenest hills in Great Britain,


    The candle will eventually burn out, but your legend will be immortal,


    We have lost this lovely person, in the empty days without your smile,


    We will always hold this torch high to commemorate Britain¡¯s noblest angel..."


    When the song came to an end, applause sounded. When William and Harry stood up, Ryan also stood up and applauded. Everyone in the audience stood up and sent the warmest applause to the huge portrait of Diana hanging above the lawn.


    Perhaps the controversy will accompany Diana''s name forever, but it cannot prevent those who like her from commemorating her.


    Besides, after the death of which celebrity, what he did during his lifetime will be uncontroversial?


    After he leaves this world, maybe the controversy will surpass Diana, right?


    When sitting down, Ryan couldn''t help but think of this aspect. With the style of the media, how would he describe himself then? Profiteering and cruelty are indispensable, right?


    "What are you thinking?" Nicole leaned in his ear and asked in a low voice.


    "When I see God." Ryan also lowered his voice, "How will the media and the public evaluate me?"


    "Can you see God?" Nicole quickly cast aside her lips. "You must see Satan by then."


    "My dear..." Ryan shook her hand secretly. "You make me sad by saying that."


    "Do you care what others think of you?" Nicole directly exposed the essence of the facts.


    "Except for you." Ryan shrugged and said nothing.


    What if countless people scold it? Anyway, I can''t hear it anymore. To use the previous life''s term, that is to care about him flooding the sky.


    "Hello, Miss Swift."


    Prince Harry''s voice faintly heard from the other side of Nicole. Ryan turned to look. Taylor, who had changed into a formal dress, was walking into the box. Harry seemed to be whispering something to her, the royal blue There is obviously some helplessness in her beautiful eyes.


    Although Taylor is sometimes naughty and self-willed, he has always distinguished occasions. Such public occasions will certainly not be rude to a prince.


    About a few minutes later, Taylor walked over while shaking hands with the others.


    "Can I sit between you?" She seemed to have something to say to them.


    Nicole moved to the seat reserved for Taylor in advance, and the guy who was already taller than Nicole sat in the middle of the two with a low mutter.


    "What happened?" Ryan asked curiously, "Alison?"


    "Just got rid of a fly in the backstage." Tyler applauded softly as the crowd lowered his voice, "I came here and met another one."


    "My dear..." Nicole tapped her lightly, "This shows that you are a charming girl."


    "Are you talking about Harry?"


    Ryan couldn''t help looking at Taylor''s direction when he came, and Prince Harry seemed to be staring here.


    "Yeah, I just greeted him politely." Tyler slowly rubbed his fingers, "then he asked me to go horseback riding after the royal lunch tomorrow."


    "Alison''s suitors are going to add a prince." Nicole couldn''t wait for all the young talents in the world to be dumped by her sister.


    "You refused?"


    Hearing Ryan''s words, Taylor said helplessly, "In this kind of situation, there are so many people around, how can I refuse?"


    "When you were young, the princess still hugged you."


    In Ryan''s view, even if his sister becomes gay, it is a hundred times better than marrying into the royal family, "just treat it as a gathering of ordinary friends."


    Perhaps he heard some worry in Ryan¡¯s words, Taylor hurriedly said in a low voice, "I have no interest in the royal family and the princess. I don''t want to be the next Princess of Wales and the Duchess of York."


    Ryan patted Tyler''s hand lightly. His sister''s character is more lively and detached than Diana Spencer and Sarah Ferguson. How could it be restrained by the rules of the royal family.


    Of course, the royal family will not allow a foreigner or an entertainment star to become a princess.


    The problem is that Taylor is not a pure entertainment star. Her background and growth experience have long been dug up by the media. Behind her stands a number of media groups in the world.


    It''s hard to say what the royal family, which is in an increasingly difficult situation, will do.


    Thinking of this, Ryan glanced at the side where the two princes were sitting again, and Harry''s eyes had been closed.


    Shaking his head, Ryan temporarily put the matter aside. Since Taylor is not interested, there is nothing to worry about.


    Marrying into the royal family seems to be beautiful but people in their class have nothing to look forward to.


    Tonight¡¯s concert did not become heavy and depressing because it was to commemorate the Princess of Wales who left the world many years ago. The singing guests were not all old faces. Popular young singers from all over the world also gathered here to miss Dai. Anna.


    Between the performances, there were also interspersed memories of people who had been involved in charity activities with Diana and people who had received her help.


    Once, the British hoped that Diana could become a goodwill ambassador for the UK. The Princess of Wales was born to know how to communicate with others. She combined business, social and charity together, abandoning the stereotyped faces of the royal family, and promoting herself and selling with close contact with the people. United Kingdom.


    To this day, the public still remembers that she was the first celebrity to shake hands with an AIDS patient, and that she held the Angolan girl whose legs were blown off by a landmine in her arms. The Diana Memorial Foundation, which was established in her name, received the source within ten years. Constantly donating money and funding more than 15 million pounds to more than 350 projects.


    In short, these made Diana''s phrase "I want to be the princess in the hearts of the people" ten years later, which is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 767： Initiate the Doomsday Judgment

    After passing the strict security check, Ryan, Ni and Taylor, accompanied by Mr. Pogson, the senior press officer of Buckingham Palace who came to greet them, walked through the long corridor and entered the Royal State Banquet Hall of Buckingham Palace from the main entrance. .


    As soon as he walked into the banquet hall, Ryan heard the melodious sound of Scottish bagpipes, and saw a team of bagpipers walking towards the state banquet hall while playing.


    This is the tradition of Buckingham Palace. They will be dressed in traditional Scottish costumes before and after the banquet.


    The royal state banquet hall is extremely luxurious. There are huge oil paintings on both sides of the wall. The long dining table is in the shape of a horseshoe. Above it is six giant chandeliers, facing the horizontal table of the three of Ryan. It is the host of the banquet. The place where the guest of honor sits is Queen Elizabeth II in the middle, Prince Philip on the left, and the main members of the royal family such as Prince Charles and Prince William next to him.


    This is not a banquet dedicated to them. There were nearly 100 guests at the luncheon, most of whom were celebrities who had met last night.


    It was not too early or too late for the three of Ryan to arrive. As the others slowly walked to the side of the main seat, they owed Queen Elizabeth II, "May God bless you, Your Majesty."


    "You''re welcome." Queen Elizabeth II nodded slightly and motioned to the seat on the right, "Please sit down."


    "Thank you!"


    Ryan didn''t refuse, and sat on the Queen''s right hand side of his duty, Nicole and Tyler sat next to him in turn.


    This is a very formal royal banquet. Ryan and the others maintain the necessary etiquette. Unless the other party asks, they will not speak easily, and the queen is also busy and needs to constantly respond to the guests coming one after another.


    Prince Charles on the opposite side took the initiative to speak and chatted with him about the London weather and Disney movies and other unnutritious topics.


    About another half an hour later, the invited guests were almost there, and the melodious sound of Sogla''s bagpipe suddenly stopped. Queen Elizabeth II briefly said a few words, first picked up the tableware. It was not until she started that the guests Ryan picked up the knife and fork.


    The banquet dishes are not complicated. Among them are flounder fillets cooked with tomatoes, truffles and white wine, lamb chops with artichokes and potatoes, tarragon roasted baby carrots and creamy green zucchini as the main dishes, with vegetable salad Desserts such as fresh fruit and mousse cake.


    This also clearly reflects the British food culture.


    The dishes prepared by the royal chefs taste very good, but few people will eat and drink wantonly on this occasion, including guests including Ryan. Most of them are just a little taste.


    Although there is no special sense to the British royal family, respect is mutual, and Ryan also remained silent until Elizabeth II, who had finished the meal, took the initiative to speak.


    "Mr. Jenkins." Queen Elizabeth II''s voice was not high, and only a few people nearby could hear it, "What do you think of the film "Queen"?"


    "The film has a positive side to promote the royal family."


    Ryan didn''t say much, but the seemingly silent but extremely shrewd woman on the other side must understand this.


    "I heard..." Elizabeth II didn''t mean to go around, "Hollywood plans to make other related films?"


    "Your Majesty..." Ryan lowered his eyelids first, and then said, "Hollywood produces films on various themes. It is a manifestation of free will."


    Upon hearing this foolish remark, Queen Elizabeth II fell into a brief silence.


    As a member of Hollywood, it is natural to safeguard the interests of Hollywood. This kind of general stance doesn''t even need to be considered, but Ryan has no interest in Diana and related subjects of the royal family.


    "It''s Hollywood''s freedom to make movies. I can''t interfere." Ryan slowly raised his eyelids and said calmly, "Walt Disney will not make and distribute related movies."


    Elizabeth II was silent for a while, and finally said slowly, "Buckingham Palace welcomes you as a guest at any time."


    "It''s a great honor." Ryan owed his body slightly.


    The banquet did not last for a long time. Perhaps I was older and stayed for a while. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip retired, and other members of the royal family greeted the guests. Many people went to the Royal Ballroom on the other side, and some were led by the staff. Visit some places in Buckingham Palace that are not open to the public.


    "Dancing, or..." Ryan asked the two ladies for their opinions.


    "Let''s go visit."


    After speaking, Tyler took Nicole and walked out of the banquet hall first, and Ryan followed.


    Walking into the flowery royal garden, the three of Ryan chatted softly, followed the crowd, and occasionally shook hands or nodded in greetings with people who came to them on their own initiative.


    Passing through the garden, passing the ceremony hall and concert hall, Ryan and others entered the Royal Gallery, where thousands of precious artworks are displayed.


    Along the way, Ryan also noticed the dilemma that the British royal family may face. Those places that are open to the outside world are okay, and some places that are not open to the outside world, the historic Buckingham Palace has been slightly dilapidated.


    In fact, in the upper-class society of the West, the economic situation of the British royal family is not a secret.


    Although the British royal family has billions of pounds in total assets, 90% of them are concentrated in fixed assets such as land, real estate, castles and artworks. Excluding the annual budget allocated by the British government, the actual liquidity is not not much.


    Especially these fixed assets need to spend a large amount of maintenance funds every year.


    The ever-increasing maintenance cost of the palace is currently the biggest headache for the British royal family, and there are too many urgently needed repairs, including the reconstruction of the roofs of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle and the renovation of its state banquet hall; replacement of the heating and electrical system of Buckingham Palace and removal Asbestos construction; replacement of rusty Victorian water pipes in Windsor Castle, etc.


    Moreover, some buildings in Buckingham Palace now leak on rainy days. The rain drips down the ceiling of the Queen''s Gallery, which houses thousands of artworks. Earlier this year, there were two serious stone falling off the walls of the palace on the east side of Buckingham Palace. accident.


    With the daily expenses of the royal family, it is very likely that there will not be enough funds for repairs in the next 10 years.


    "Miss Swift."


    In the crowded ceremonial hall, a sudden sound interrupted Ryan¡¯s cranky thoughts. Prince Harry didn¡¯t know when he would find him. After shaking hands with him and Nicole politely, he said to Tyler, ¡°I still remember what we did yesterday. A promise? I have already greeted the Grant Equestrian Club, if I can..."


    Having said that, he made a please gesture.


    Taylor calmly turned to Ryan and Nicole, his royal blue eyes rolled, "His Royal Highness, I think it will be more interesting if there are more people."


    "Mr. Jenkins, Miss Kidman..." Harry was very witty, "May I invite you to go horseback riding?"


    Before Ryan could answer, Tyler pulled Nicole concealedly, and Nicole had no choice but to say, "Of course, thank you."


    A black Rolls-Royce drove slowly across the square in front of Buckingham Palace. Nicole stepped up to the baffle and said to Ryan, who was sitting next to him, ¡°This highness is as smart as Diana, but a bit too smart.¡±


    "As long as there is no inherent problem here." Ryan nodded his forehead. "Also influenced by the royal atmosphere, several people are stupid."


    "Yesterday." Nicole seemed to have a rapid decline in Harry''s senses, "This is the second time today."


    Ryan smiled, and said nothing.


    "Use your identity." Nicole continued, "Sending invitations in public does not give Alison a chance to refuse."


    "Don''t worry." Ryan made a relieved gesture to Nicole, "It''s not difficult to deal with him with Alison''s means, let''s say..."


    He said in a joking tone, "If Harry can catch Alison, I believe it must be the British royal family who regretted it."


    Rolling his eyes helplessly, Nicole knew very well that Taylor seemed to like to make a fool of himself, but in fact it was a copy of Ryan.


    "If our dear sister really marries into the British royal family." Ryan snorted and said, "Does Elizabeth II, Prince Philip and Prince Charles really treat her in the same way that they treat Diana? I promise. Alison will surely demolish Buckingham Palace first, and then put the royal family in front of everyone in the world."


    "You taught her badly Nicole seems a little angry.


    Ryan grabbed her hand and kissed it lightly, "This is not ten years ago."


    Ten years ago, because of concerns about possible conspiracy theories, he dared not even tell Diana with vague hints.


    Of course, if there is no need, he will not provoke the British royal family. After all, the relationship between the two parties is pretty good, and it is basically impossible for Taylor to marry the British royal family.


    For one thing, she herself has no interest in the royal family; secondly, she is not an Englishman.


    As Ryan and Nicole thought, when riding in the equestrian club, Prince Harry was obviously interested in Taylor, but it was a pity that Taylor always maintained the necessary politeness, and politeness also means courtesy and distance, which is also a kind of obscure Rejected, if Harry continues to entangle himself, with Taylor''s character, he will definitely give him a big nail in private, and maybe he will call Christine Stewart to London.


    When leaving the equestrian club, Harry offered another invitation to go to the Palace of Westminster tomorrow, but Taylor politely turned it down.


    "If he comes to pester in the future..."


    In the car back, Taylor gritted his teeth and said to Ryan and Nicole, "I will summon Emma Watson, Scarlett Johansson and Kristen Stewart to form the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and launch the doomsday trial on him!"


    "You play too much games." Ryan glanced at her.


    "I only play when I relax occasionally."


    The two most important things of this trip to the UK were over. The following day, Ryan went to the Manchester United club to check the Carrington base under reconstruction, and then flew to China and North America with Nicole. .


    His destination is Shang Hai, and quite a few shots of "Transformers 2" will be shot here. (To be continued) R655

 Chapter 768： You are angry because i want to kill you

    "Michael Bay is an outstanding director. His focus on big scenes and small details always amazes me. "Transformers" is an extremely exciting and successful movie."


    As soon as he got out of the car, Ryan was stopped by a group of Chinese entertainment reporters. When asked by reporters why Michael Bay should continue to be the director, he simply said, "I originally hoped that the "Transformers" series It is a movie full of ubiquitous sense of humor, but at the same time dignified and serious. Michael Bay did this. He made the "Transformers" series more possibilities."


    This is a factory that is about to be demolished near Shanghai Disneyland, and is a carefully selected location for Disney''s Far East Branch.


    Entering the abandoned factory that served as a temporary studio, Ryan, led by the staff, quickly walked into a huge dilapidated factory building, which was full of light-shielding panels and cameras and other shooting equipment. Many staff were going back and forth. Busy.


    "Hi, Michael."


    Carefully avoiding the cables on the ground, Ryan found the explosive shell, "Is the shooting going well?"


    "It''s more trouble than expected."


    Michael Bay shook hands with him and looked at a staff member of the China Film Group not far away, "Our communication is not very smooth, the ideas between the two sides are too different, and I don¡¯t understand why I have so many people with the crew. Ideas can''t be implemented or filmed normally?"


    Adding a lot of Chinese shots is naturally for the sake of box office considerations, but this kind of movie that is bombed and hit in Shanghai may touch the sensitive nerves of a department with super scissors, so Ryan made a special contact. As the distributor of the film in China, the China Film Group will send experienced personnel to assist the crew in filming in China.


    China Film Group is very concerned about this matter. After all, "Transformers" has created a series of box office records in China, allowing the publisher to make a lot of money.


    "What is your plan blocked?" Ryan asked curiously.


    "After I came to Shanghai, I discovered that this city is completely different from what I imagined." Michael Bay looked in the direction of Lujiazui. "It looks no different from New York and Los Angeles, so I wonder if there are Decepticons here, why don''t they destroy a few landmark buildings, such as the East..."


    "The Oriental Pearl Tower?" Ryan asked.


    "Yes, that''s the tower." Michael Bay showed his essence, "I think if this tower is blown up in the film, it must be very impactful."


    "Then don''t think about the movie being released in China." Ryan shook his head, "Michael, give up these ideas."


    "Why?" Michael Bay obviously couldn''t understand, "Hollywood destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge. It has destroyed Manhattan, destroyed the White House and Capitol Hill, and even destroyed the entire North America. This is just a movie, and it is not really going to blow it up. ."


    "The national conditions are different."


    This kind of problem is not clear to Bo Bangbei, and Ryan said directly, "Well, give up your temporary ideas, or follow our original plan to shoot."


    "Okay." Michael Bay shrugged. "You are the boss."


    Patting Michael Bay on the shoulder, Ryan left the factory again, entered the makeup trailer and finished makeup, and walked back again. He did not continue to communicate with Michael Bay, and went directly to the temporary rest area for the actors.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    "Hi, Colin."


    Was beckoned to Alexandra Ambrosio. The Chinese actress stretched out her hand and said openly, "Hello. Mr. Jenkins."


    "Hello, Miss Gao." Ryan shook it gently, and said casually, "You are welcome to join "Transformers" again."


    Compared with the few shots that accompany Alexandra Ambrosio in the second-hand car market to show off her figure and appearance in the first part, her role in the second part has increased a lot, which is a direct result. The reason why Sam and Mikaela appeared in China.


    This is also to take care of the Chinese market whose growth rate can only be described as terror.


    In this workshop, the filming is the plot after Sam and the two girls are captured by the Decepticons. In many scenes, the three of them do not need to appear on the scene. The crew is shooting the background that needs to be added, and it is the turn of the actors to play. For the camera, the two actresses only need to open their voices and scream.


    In contrast, Ryan needs to make various actions against the air. Fortunately, he got used to this kind of shooting in the first part. After the first shot facing the air continuously for nearly ten times, he gradually looked for it. Feeling back.


    China Film is really great. It even helped the crew contact a Zhi-8 as a prototype of a surfboard. The crew not only cooperated with the US government, but also with the Chinese government.


    "!..."


    On the stage in front of the camera, Ryan faced the air, trying his best to panic, as if a Decepticon who wanted to cut his head was close in front of him, "Brain, what do you want my brain to do? Wait..."


    "Wait, I know you are angry, I know you are angry." Ryan stared directly above and said into the long recording microphone, "You are angry because I want to kill you, but this is a misunderstanding..."


    He suddenly speeded up his speech, as if if he didn¡¯t say it now, he would have no chance to say it again in the future. "If someone wants to kill me, I won¡¯t be happy. I think... we have every opportunity to improve our relationship and eliminate our relationship. misunderstanding¡­"


    "It only takes five seconds..." Ryan said faster, "Hey hey hey, let it stop first!"


    After Michael Bay called to stop behind the camera, Ryan did not leave. Instead, he sat on the stage, waiting for the crew to rearrange the scene and the two actresses to be in place. As many pyrotechnic devices had been set up in advance, it was about ten. After a few minutes, the crew started filming again.


    There was no difficulty in shooting this time. After Michael Bay¡¯s assistant shouted to start, Ryan shouted, "Mikaela, run! Run! Go to Bumblebee!"


    He yelled and got up, holding his head in the sparks that were constantly exploding, and ran out of the factory building according to the predetermined route. He stopped and looked back until he was out of the range of the camera.


    The shooting in the workshop did not stop. The sparks flickered like brilliant fireworks in the previous life. After the two actresses also left, a larger explosion appeared, but these explosions seemed powerful, but in fact they were not very destructive.


    Explosive shots taken in real scenes are undoubtedly more impactful and can save expensive production costs.


    There were not many shots taken in the factory building. It only lasted two days before it was over. And this abandoned factory building was basically demolished by the explosion. The unit that originally wanted to be demolished would definitely save a bit of demolition costs.


    Subsequently, the crew held the first press conference after shooting in China in the banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel in Jing''an District.


    This series caused a huge sensation in China. When the press conference was held, not only entertainment reporters, but also many social current affairs reporters squeezed into the banquet hall. There were nearly 500 reporters present. , And under the operation of Disney''s Far East Branch and China Film Group, this press conference was also broadcast live on the National Television Film Channel.


    The film''s marketing war in China has completely started from this moment.


    "There are quite a lot of Chinese movie fans, and they still can''t forget the screen hurricane that was set off by "Transformers" last year."


    After the routine brief introduction, the reporter began to actively ask questions, "But the film''s reputation is severely polarized. Ryan, what do you think of "Transformers"?"


    "This is a movie that most of the audience likes very much, especially those friends who have been obsessed with all kinds of Transformers toys."


    The Mandarin spoken by Ryan is even more standard than this reporter from Shang Hai. "Making this series of movies makes me feel very enjoyable, because I finally have the opportunity to meet with my beloved toys in downtowns, deserts, jungles, etc. I¡¯ve planted a good place for a stand."


    "Before..." Ryan pointed to Michael Bay, "When we collaborated on "The End of the World", we had to work hard to find a suitable reason for those actions and explosions, especially in those uninhabited places, why humans appeared. What about machinery?"


    The reporters laughed in good faith, and Ryan continued, ¡°When I met "Transformers", everything had an answer. The perfect combination of modern technology made by the people on earth and alien creatures made it even if there weren¡¯t Anyone who has watched the "Transformers" animation and played with toys can quickly become fascinated by it."


    "So Michael and I are working on this series of films very carefully. UU Reading I hope it can satisfy not only those audiences who pursue unparalleled film images, but also those "Transformers." Die-hard fans."


    Routinely asked Michael Bay and Alexandra Ambrosio several questions, and the reporter turned the topic to his own person.


    That Miss Gao is also a clever person and she is busy complimenting, "Looking back now, being able to star in the movie "Transformers" is really a wonderful experience. The producer and director trust me very much. They think I can do it well, and Michael Director Bei also gave me a lot of free space, which relieved my pressure a lot."


    There is nothing to say about the first part. She quickly turned the topic to the second part that was being filmed. "In the new episode, my character faces more tests, and the difficulty of shooting is much higher than that in the first episode. There are many dangerous scenes I shoot in person. No matter how dangerous the shooting is, I think it¡¯s worth it, because this movie requires the full involvement of actors. There are so many audiences around the world staring at you. You must Do your best."


    The reporter then threw the question about her to Ryan. A reporter with a sign on a certain website asked, "Mr. Jenkins, what do you think of the cooperation with Miss Gao in the film?" (to be continued...)( )

 Chapter 769： The reactionary nature of Kung Fu Panda

    The questions of these reporters had long been expected by Ryan.


    "Miss Gao is an excellent actor, beautiful and careful."


    How to deal with the media and how to say is best for the film, Ryan is an expert, "She is an extremely important part of this series."


    "Sorry, Mr. Jenkins."


    Hearing Ryan''s words, a Chinese reporter then asked questions, "If I remember correctly, all the shots of the first middle-high girl will only take less than six minutes."


    "It''s true, because the first movie has to explain the world view and the origins of Transformers, and all the human characters have been compressed."


    Regarding these official articles, Ryan has never had to draft, "But in the second part, Gao''s role is the third protagonist after Sam and Michaela. Her role runs from the opening to the end."


    He looked at Michael Bay, and Bombshell said tacitly, "In our plan, the high appearance shots together will not be less than 30 minutes."


    "Wow~"


    The whole banquet hall broke out. The reporters seemed to be going crazy. In this era, what pure Chinese actor can play an important role in a Hollywood super production that sweeps the world?


    Some time ago, it was said that Jeter Lee will star in an action blockbuster with Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis, which has already made the Chinese entertainment media jump up and down with excitement. Unexpectedly, this is not even the first line in China. ''S actress, will get such an important role in "Transformers 2".


    This is the first super giant that has sold more than $1 billion at the box office around the world. It is not the outdated action stars who acted together, but Ryan Jenkins, who stood at the top of Hollywood!


    In just a few minutes, many reporters spread the news through mobile phones and other communication tools.


    Seeing the effect of the sensation, Ryan was very satisfied. In fact, apart from being the introduction to Sam and Mikaela at the beginning of the film, the rest of the time was just adding a soy sauce role next to the hero and heroine. It''s not a bad thing to have an extra woman showing off her figure.


    I just don¡¯t know whether this high-name actress is considered pretty in the aesthetics of North American audiences.


    After all, she does not have such Asian beauty symbols as small eye sockets, flat nose and freckles that are most appreciated by North American audiences...


    At each press conference, the most sensitive issues are often left at the end, and this time is no exception.


    After the host rolls the name, a reporter with a sign on a certain website asked a question full of literary and artistic style.


    "Mr. Jenkins, "Transformers" has indeed achieved great commercial success worldwide, but I don¡¯t know if you have noticed it. The film lacks connotation and has no educational significance. After watching this film, we feel very happy, except for this. There is nothing outside. Don¡¯t you think it would be very dangerous for the audience not to think about what kind of enlightenment the film itself brings to us?"


    "I don''t think so." Ryan retorted unceremoniously, "I want to ask, why do audiences walk into the theater to watch movies? I think more than 90% of people. It''s all for entertainment, what they want. It''s very simple, a joyful entertainment feast, instead of entering the theater to receive non-stop preaching. Accept the so-called soul washing, receive re-education..."


    "My work partners and I..." Ryan motioned to all the crew members attending the press conference, "I just want to bring simple, cheerful, and fun-filled simple entertainment to the audience. As for enlightenment. As for the connotation Those who are not in our consideration of making movies, and entertainment movies cannot bear such a heavy responsibility. I think these should be the work done by the school, not the movie."


    "But "Transformers" has been criticized by many North American film critics." Another person stood up beside the reporter just now, "Don''t you care about the critics'' comments?"


    "In North America, everyone has the freedom to express their views, even if the views are negative."


    Ryan knocked on the microphone and returned to silence in the chaotic hall. "They love bad reviews, I don''t care, so let them hate them. I only care whether the audience likes this series or not. Now the professional film critics in North America are in the distance. Ordinary audiences are too far away. They neither understand the tastes of the audience, nor do they like simple entertainment films. "Transformers" also proves that film critics can do no harm to the box office of big productions."


    "Because the audience is savvy enough, they don¡¯t care what they say. They just mind whether the movie is good or not. When I first joined the film industry, I still respected film critics. Even if they didn¡¯t like a movie, they would still Talk about its advantages and strengths, but now it¡¯s like a..."


    After making a few gestures, Ryan said, "Using the Internet language here, their comments are just a feast, they just like to kill everything in seconds, they are completely self-centered, and enjoy it."


    Hearing Ryan¡¯s online language, many reporters laughed. The reporter who stood up at the back asked again, ¡°Ryan, what kind of movie do you think the "Transformers" series is?"


    "Movies are just movies, and they are a form of entertainment that can bring us short-term happiness." Ryan''s words obviously do not refer specifically to a movie. "We only need to let go of our thinking and move in line with the movie screen to complete our vision and imagination. Joyous journey."


    After the press conference, Ryan and others got rid of the entanglement of the reporters and walked into the lounge next to him. To some surprise, he actually saw Charlize Theron in the lounge.


    "Charlie..." Ryan walked over in confusion, "Why did you appear here."


    "Ct Nature''s Treasures Shanghai flagship store is about to open soon." Charlize looked at him and laughed, "I will preside over the opening ceremony, and come visit your class by the way."


    "Hi, Colin."


    "Hi, Michael."


    She is very familiar with the crew and greets one by one.


    "Unexpectedly, you have opened the shop here."


    Since ct got on the right track, Ryan''s attention has been less. Unexpectedly, Charlize also picked up the idea of ??the Chinese market, "Is there anything I can help?"


    "Of course." Charlize was not polite, and said in a low voice, "As long as the opening day, you can bring the crew over to cheer for me."


    "I will communicate with them."


    After all, this kind of thing cannot be forced, but few people would refuse it.


    Suddenly, a female agent took the Miss Gao and walked over.


    "Mr. Jenkins is grateful for Yuanyuan''s appreciation of our family..."


    Maybe she thinks this opportunity to speak is too rare. She gurgled a great deal in English. "Over the past year or so, Yuanyuan¡¯s English has improved very quickly. The accent in her pronunciation is almost gone, and she is also very good. Adapt to the American lifestyle, if Disney needs Asian actors..."


    The voice suddenly stopped, and Ryan faintly saw that Miss Gao pulled her agent, a very smart woman.


    "This is a very pleasant cooperation." He didn''t say much.


    If the second part responds well in China, Disney will definitely continue to maintain the other side''s role in the third part.


    "I heard Miss Ambrosio say that Miss Theron''s ct flagship store is about to open?"


    The other party is indeed very smart and proactively said, "I and a few friends in the circle like the style of ct. Can we participate in the opening ceremony?"


    "Welcome." Charlize showed a polite smile.


    Not staying long, Charlize pulled Ryan out of the lounge hurriedly, and when she entered the special elevator leading to the top floor, her whole body was almost hung on Ryan.


    The two had been apart for a while, and Ryan held Charlize''s hand tightly and could feel her trembling palms.


    Seeing the beating numbers in the elevator, Ryan suddenly felt Charlize blowing gently in his ears, and could not help turning his other hand, gently pinching her nose.


    "!" Her voice was not high, but it was very clear.


    The elevator door opened and Ryan picked up Charlize and walked out, at the same time, "I will be happy to help."


    Water seems to drip from the beautiful eyes of the South African Diamond. Fortunately, the two people still know that this is a corridor, trying their best to suppress their emotions, and strode to the presidential suite under Ryan''s package.


    The door opened, Charlize got in first, and then dragged Ryan in. Ryan almost threw herself on Charlize''s body, kissing the two hot red lips painfully, and exploring with both hands. By the way He took off the clothes that were in the way, and kicked the door back at the same time, which slammed shut.


    "!" Charlize shouted again.


    Afterwards, the two began to rise and fall like waves and boats in a storm...


    The next morning, when Ryan woke up from his sleep, Charlize next to him was gone. After washing, he walked into the living room and found that Charlize was sitting in the dining room reading the newspaper.


    "Hey, dear." Charlize beckoned to him.


    Ryan walked over and sat on the opposite side. Charlize picked up the phone next to him and ordered a few breakfasts. He pointed to the newspaper he was reading and said, "Spider-Man 3 has been released, and the first week''s results are very good~ www.novelhall.com~how much?"


    Because of the crazy relationship with Charlize yesterday, Ryan hasn''t read the latest email yet.


    "North America is US$151.11 million on the first Wednesday."


    With that said, Charlize hurriedly handed over the English newspaper. Ryan did not pick it up. Instead, he took the Chinese newspapers that were picked out on the dining table and said, "I''ll just read these."


    "All right." Charlize shrugged, "I don''t understand those. If there are interesting things, you can read them to me."


    "no problem."


    I picked up a well-known southern newspaper in his previous life. Ryan read some current affairs and politics, and he habitually saw the entertainment page. The headline was the report on the press conference yesterday, and his position and opinions were fair. Fair.


    It''s just that when he shifted his eyes to another page, he saw an unusually horrifying title-looking at the essence of "Kung Fu Panda" from the details! (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 770： Crazy ad placement

    Popular recommendation:,,,,,,,


    The door bell of "Ding Dong" rang, Charlize opened the door and led the waiter into the restaurant. The other party quickly arranged the breakfast, took the tip from Charlize, and left.


    "Dear."


    Pushing the oatmeal, donuts and bacon omelette in front of Ryan, Charlize reminded him, "Will you have breakfast first?"


    "immediately."


    With a sigh, Ryan put the southern newspaper next to him. While enjoying the breakfast, his eyes did not completely leave the comment above.


    "Since its release in June, "Kung Fu Panda" has been well-received in China, catching up with "Transformers" released last year, but at the same time it has received fierce criticism from professionals. Many experts believe that the film hides that is not easy to detect. The anti-Hua essence!"


    "The author carefully watched this film and found that "Kung Fu Panda" is indeed an outright anti-Hua movie. Of course, compared with the blatant behavior, the anti-Hua words and deeds of this movie are deeply hidden. Here are some more obvious ones. The place has been revealed, and I hope everyone will continue to work hard, like our experts, to find out all the reactionary details."


    "Abao''s noodle shop was won by its ancestors by playing mahjong. The intention is to show that our national quintessence mahjong is a gambling tool. What''s more, the country actually recognizes the legality of gambling. This seriously slanders us. National regulations."


    "Abao''s father''s ideal is to learn to make tofu, and then he has to make noodles. The movie shows that tofu is better than noodles. It is to provoke an infighting between our country''s two excellent foods, noodles and tofu."


    "The dragon warrior selection contest was actually held in public. This is a slander on our country¡¯s traditional martial arts. Everyone knows that our country¡¯s martial arts masters are secretive, whether it¡¯s Huashan¡¯s swordsmanship or the fight for the leader of the Five Mountains. Only people in the industry can participate, and some even only the top talents can have the honor to attend, so we have never seen our true traditional kung fu. This movie actually thinks that the competition between the five masters is as vulgar as the TV station¡¯s martial arts conference. Nai, this is deliberately or unintentionally slandering our country¡¯s civilian masters who never go to war. It is a blasphemy against Chinese Kung Fu."


    ¡°Mr. Tortoise¡¯s martial arts treasures and Abao¡¯s ancestral noodle recipes are all blank paper. This is also an attack on our country¡¯s traditional culture, especially martial arts and traditional Chinese medicine. Everyone knows the reason why our country¡¯s traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts are now present. It¡¯s not particularly convincing. In addition to the famous Chinese medicine masters and martial arts masters who are indifferent to fame and fortune, another reason is that various treasures and cheats have not been discovered or due to the deterioration of modern people¡¯s intelligence. These treasures may be waste paper, and the malicious intentions can be seen."


    At the beginning, Ryan thought it was just like those criticisms of pure entertainment movies like "Kung Fu Panda" that he had seen in his previous life, and just like the remarks that went online at every turn, only to find out later that this southern The newspaper guy¡¯s **** seems a bit crooked?


    Could it be the result of the public relations of Disney''s Far East branch?


    It is not unreasonable for Ryan to think so. As far as he knows, after "Kung Fu Panda" was released in China, it was often criticized by bricks here, and the sound like that insulting China''s national treasure has never stopped.


    "Ryan!"


    Seeing Charlize¡¯s wide-open eyes, Ryan threw the newspaper aside and began to concentrate on breakfast. Since the day when the Hollywood movie appeared in Chinese theaters, the debate and criticism have not stopped and will continue. He didn''t need to waste too much energy on it.


    As for whether the newspaper accepted Disney¡¯s five-cent sponsorship, it doesn¡¯t matter.


    He came here to make money, not to engage in peaceful evolution. A prosperous, stable and more open China is in line with the interests of entertainment giants like him.


    "You go to the flagship store?"


    Putting down the knife and fork, Ryan stood up and walked outside the restaurant, and asked Charlize, "Or go to the studio with me?"


    "Go to the studio."


    Walking to the hanger, Charlize took off his home clothes and put on a casual outfit, "The store I went to yesterday is already ready. Just waiting for the opening ceremony, I''ll accompany you to the set."


    "Well."


    Checking his watch, Ryan took Charlize out of the suite, "Let''s go to Disneyland."


    These days, the most important scene in Shang Hai will be filmed. Optimus Prime singles out the four-horse battle of the Decepticons. As the key to the battle, Ryan must be involved.


    Michael Bay¡¯s idea of ??destroying several landmark buildings in Shanghai is destined to be impossible to realize. According to the pre-set, advertisements will also be implanted in this battle. The location of the battle will take place at Shanghai Disneyland, where the main building is basically completed. paradise!


    The release date of "Transformers 2" is next year''s summer vacation, and the fashion sea Disneyland is about to open, which is an excellent way of publicity.


    Of course, as a landmark of Shanghai in the future, Disneyland must not be destroyed at will. The battle mainly takes place in the square just in front of the park...


    The gate of Disneyland with huge Chinese and English logos will not only serve as a background picture, but will eventually become the building that Optimus Prime crashed down when it crashed down.


    Because there was a traffic jam in the middle, Ryan came not early. After getting out of the car, he and Charlize walked quickly into the plaza where a number of trailers were parked.


    This plaza connected to Disney Town, a free-for-ticket shopping area, has not yet been fully completed, especially most of the slate has not been laid. This also gives Michael Bay the opportunity to fully display his explosive talents. Disney''s Far East Branch has long been working with the construction party. An agreement was reached, and the explosive shell can be played in this square at will.


    After putting on makeup, Ryan entered the air-conditioned trailer that temporarily acted as the actor''s rest area. Charlize, who temporarily acted as an assistant for him, handed over a cold drink at a suitable temperature. Ryan took a sip and sat in a chair with Charlize. , Through the huge window, watched the prop master and the fireworks team busy setting up the scene.


    The gate of Disneyland has not yet been built, but a close-to-real gate of Disneyland has been temporarily built. Behind the gate is the completed artificial lake and the towering princess castle. If you look at the two sides, you can still see clearly The Pirate Bay and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, these external works are basically completed.


    The two assistant directors of the film crew are each leading a film crew to shoot distant shots of Disneyland as the background images for future movies.


    This can be regarded as a naked ad placement, but no one can say anything. After all, there must be a battlefield suitable for Transformers to play.


    Moreover, the transfer of this scene to China for filming is very likely to affect the North American audience¡¯s feeling of watching the movie. With the familiar Disneyland as the background, it will certainly not make them feel too strange. This can be regarded as taking care of the East and the West at the same time. Western audience¡¯s movie-watching experience.


    Similarly, there are a large number of literary dramas here, and the main occasion for literary dramas is the Toy Story theme hotel as a supporting facility in Disneyland, and compared to the only prototype of Shanghai Disneyland, the Toy Story theme hotel has been renovated. Even possess the ability of trial operation.


    It can be said that Ryan and Michael Bay shot some of the scenes in China, not only to take care of the Chinese market, but also to promote the upcoming Shanghai Disneyland. At the same time, Disneyland, in the Chinese environment, also brings The facilities with a distinctive western style will not affect the North American market of the film too much.


    "Actually, there is one more point."


    I talked to Charlize about the reasons why the film chose China as part of its location. Ryan raised a finger and said, "Toy Story 3 is almost complete. Some elements added to the Toy Story Hotel are also in disguise. Publicity."


    "I feel that you and Michael are the best partners."


    Looking at Michael Bay, who was busy directing the crew in the distance, Charlize drank a sip of iced juice and said, "You are all interested in commercial elements, and you can always find the best way to deal with the market, especially Michael, in your influence. Next, I seem to have forgotten those thoughts that I wanted to transform before."


    "There are so many Hollywood and literary film directors, and there is no shortage of Michael." Ryan put down the bright red strawberry juice and took a small slice of watermelon from the fruit plate next to him. "If Michael goes to shoot those films, it is very likely. It''s just a very ordinary member of them, and we have lost a world-leading commercial director who shoots explosive and visually impactful shots."


    "When does this Disneyland open?" Charlize changed the subject.


    "The original plan is for the summer vacation next year, but the time is too tight, there is no problem with the park, but the surrounding supporting facilities may be difficult to complete, and those supporting facilities are not our responsibility."


    Making a gesture that you understand, Ryan continued, "According to the agreement reached through coordination with the government here, the park will officially open to the public in mid-September."


    "I understand that stores have opened in China, and Charles seems to have studied the holidays here. "In early October is China''s National Day holiday. "


    "Let the person responsible for ct''s business here coordinate with the Disney Far East branch." Ryan reminded her, "ct''s natural treasures candies and some fashion products can all enter the shopping town."


    "I see."


    Charlize leaned in and kissed Ryan on the cheek.


    She knew very well that if it weren''t for Disney''s huge platform, ct could have grown into a scale of over 100 million U.S. dollars in annual turnover in just a few years.


    After about an hour, an assistant from the crew came to inform Ryan that he was about to start shooting.


    "I''m going to be baptized by artillery fire and explosion again."


    Before leaving, Ryan said to Charlize. r1152()

 Chapter 771： Its time to change the actor

    "Ryan, remember the route."


    Michael Bay reminded him loudly, "Don''t make mistakes, run as fast as possible."


    With a thumbs up, Ryan lights up on the camera. There are no acting requirements for this scene, but it is quite troublesome if it makes a mistake. Not to mention that it will affect the Transformers added in the later stage. If you do it again, you will only need to arrange those explosive devices It takes a lot of time, manpower and material resources.


    After taking a long breath and exhaling it slowly, Ryan had better prepare adequately.


    "begin!"


    When the sound came, he spread his legs and ran towards the entrance of Disneyland. Almost at the same time, there were dull explosions one after another. The speed of the explosion was extremely fast, as if being weighed by m2. The ground plowed by the machine gun turned up with waves of soil and quickly chased him.


    The smoke of gunpowder quickly filled, Ryan held his head, first jumped onto a mound, then jumped over to a black mat, rolled over on the spot, stood up again and continued to flee desperately, while he Behind him, the mound had been blown up in the air, and a lot of the soil fell on his head.


    Fortunately, these explosions are empty, but in fact they are not very powerful.


    Even so, Ryan felt a faint pain in his arms and back of his head. At this moment, he couldn''t help cursing Michael Bay''s on-site shooting plan in his heart, automatically forgetting that these were the results of their discussions.


    Another pile of dirt blew up around him, and Ryan shouted, "Optimus Prime! Optimus Prime!"


    "Get up, get up!" He hid behind the gate of Disneyland, even knowing that these lines must be re-dubbed, still shouting in an explosion, "Stand up, Optimus Prime! Kill them! Kill them!"


    He held his head, avoided the falling soil, and hid in the woods beside the artificial lake.


    The explosion in the field gradually subsided, and it seemed that the preset close hand-to-hand combat had kicked off. Ryan had always maintained a vigilant and worried expression, and a camera was always staring at him.


    "Optimus Prime!"


    Seeing the reminder mark lit up by the orbital camera, Ryan slowly stood up, looked at the field where the gunpowder was all in shock, and finally turned around vigorously and ran to the other side.


    "Cut!"


    Michael Bay¡¯s voice rang through the loudspeaker, and Ryan stopped and walked towards the camera.


    "Very good, Ryan."


    When he walked over, Michael Bay gave it a thumbs up, "Just pass it once."


    "That''s good." Ryan brushed his hair, and the fine dust kept falling. "I don''t want to come again."


    That said, but Ryan knew that when he returned to North America, there might be a larger explosion waiting for him at the Baisha Missile Range.


    Walking to the trailer, Charlize greeted him with a wet towel, and Ryan took it and wiped his face covered with gunpowder and dust, "Thank you, dear."


    The weather in Shang Hai was very hot. After a little cleaning, Ryan returned to the air-conditioned rest trailer, sat in chairs with Charlize, and continued to watch Michael Bay toss the land through the window.


    In contrast, the two actresses are much more relaxed here, they only need to ride in the Camaro sports car that represents the Hornet.


    The filming here lasted for about two days, and then the crew moved to the Toy Story hotel, where they filmed some life-like scenes of Sam and Michaela when they came to China to play.


    The shape of the hotel is full of Disney-style childish colors. The exterior wall is modeled after the sky wallpaper pattern in the "Andy" room in the cartoon. There is a huge ball-shaped sculpture at the entrance of the hotel.


    These are the key points of the film crew.


    While filming, there are always many media and reporters around, and various reports continue to appear.


    "The crew of "Transformers 2" was filmed in Shanghai Disneyland. Ryan Jenkins flees in the explosion."


    "Michael Bay moved to the "Toy Story" theme hotel just completed. Gao Yuanyuan interacted closely with Ryan and Alexandra Ambrosio."


    "Gao Yuanyuan became the second female in the film and staged a shopping scene with Ryan. According to Disney, she may become the absolute protagonist of this series in the future."


    Full of earth-shattering explosions, fire-powered attacks, heart-piercing screams, special effects at any cost and dizzying action scenes, these are almost the subject of most of the shooting.


    Except for participating in a CT opening ceremony in the middle, the crew spent most of their time busy. After more than 20 days of hard work, they finally successfully completed the framing plan in China, and then the crew collectively moved to North America.


    The main location of the film crew in North America is the White Sands Missile Test Range in New Mexico, which will be used to film the final battle scenes. The American soldiers are not extras, but a group of real soldiers who have just returned from the battlefields in Afghanistan and Iraq.


    The military actors put a lot of enthusiasm into this movie because they want their children to see themselves fighting the Transformers on the big screen of "Transformers 2".


    The Pentagon provided tremendous support for the filming work of the crew. Not only did the crew use the White Sands missile test site, but they also let the cameraman follow the roaring fighter jets to shoot from the air; similarly, they also asked the film to shape the US military. A good and positive image.


    2 a-10 fighters, 6 f-16 fighters, 10 armored Hummers, "Golden Knights" military parachuting team, 2 m1a2 tanks, 2 m3a3 tanks, 2 self-propelled missile launch vehicles, 2 armored vehicles, Baisha Missile proving grounds, military weapons and bombs, soldiers on vacation.


    These are all shooting resources provided by the military free of charge.


    In addition, Ryan also followed a crew of the crew to the aircraft carrier''Stannis'', and took field shots on the flight deck. Even when he left, there was a crew on the''Kid''. Filmed on the destroyer.


    This has surpassed the first filming. It is no exaggeration to say that "Transformers 2" will be the largest joint filming operation ever undertaken by the US Navy, Army, Air Force and Marine Corps.


    On the contrary, as the real main battlefield in the script, there are not many things filmed in Egypt. Most of the subjects are shot in the local US military bases. Only an assistant director went to Egypt to shoot the background shots. Michael Bay did not have the past. the meaning of.


    Of course, the various branches of the US military helped the crew a lot in filming, but as a loosely disciplined unit, these guys are also very annoying to make trouble.


    There has always been a competition between the U.S. Army and the Air Force. The shooting in New Mexico has made this competition even more intense. Although the Army¡¯s White Sands Proving Ground and the Air Force¡¯s Harlow League Base are very close, these guys refused to shoot. When working together, even the camping site at night is completely separated.


    Even during the shooting, in order to **** a few houses that are easy to be photographed, the paratroopers belonging to the Air Force almost fought against a group of people from the Army.


    The houses built on the set are the focus of these military actors'' contention. Since they have participated in the shooting of such a large production, who doesn''t want to have a close-up show their face in them?


    "You crowded so tightly, it''s too unrealistic."


    The crew just notified the military to prepare, and the houses were crowded with people. The military liaison of the crew had to go and disperse them. "The enemy can kill you all with a bomb."


    "Come on, sir." Immediately a soldier shouted, "This is a Hollywood movie. Aren''t we fighting with invisible aliens with ammunition that will never kill?"


    Facing the liaison officer from the Pentagon, the army and air force burst into laughter.


    "These guys!"


    Behind the camera, Michael Bay frowned, while Ryan held his chin and looked at Alexandra Ambrosio, "Colin, I need you to play again."


    "Ok."


    Alexandra Ambrosio shrugged and walked over there, twisting her **** figure.


    For these soldiers who have experienced the test of war, the crew''s mandatory order is definitely not a suitable choice, and few people will listen, but the attractiveness of beautiful women, especially a famous Victoria''s Secret angel, is still huge.


    Sure enough, Alexandra Ambrosio solved the trouble again, but only exchanged a few words with the soldiers, and many people took the initiative to jump off the roof, making the liaison from the Pentagon very helpless.


    The filming soon kicked off. The first shot was the shooting of a US tank. This was not an empty shot, but a live shot.


    This was Michael Bay¡¯s request, and it was not in the Pentagon¡¯s sponsorship contract. The crew also paid a fee for this. The U.S. military also regarded this shooting as a training for tank soldiers. In total, hundreds of soldiers and tanks fired at the same time. The guns were shot, and of course the "invisible aliens" that didn''t exist.


    Their bullets all crossed the Egyptian villages and temples temporarily built by the crew , and these laboriously constructed scenery has only one effect, and that is to blow up all of them.


    For Ryan and Alexandra Ambrosio, this is definitely not a wonderful experience. Compared with previous explosions, this time can only be described as earth-shattering. In several consecutive explosion scenes, he has It was pulling Alexandra Ambrosio, the blank-headed person only knew how desperate to run.


    "Michael!"


    When he finished shooting his own shots and was about to leave the crew, Ryan solemnly said to Bombshell, "From now on, you can consider how to change the leading actor in the next movie."


    The continuous shooting of two "Transformers" live-action movies is also enough to make up for the complex of the previous life.


    Besides, "Avengers" will be launched soon, and he doesn''t have so much time to continue the third part.


    At the beginning of September, Ryan left North America, joined Natalie from Los Angeles, and flew directly to Venice, preparing to participate in this year''s Venice Film Festival. r1152()

 Chapter 772： Difficult emotional performance

    Standing next to the entrance of the Sarah Grand Theater, Ryan looked at Natalie walking slowly on the red carpet not far away. Every time she beckoned, she could always bring out the cheers, the red carpet right. The fans on the side were almost crazy about it, and the flash on the left side of the photo zone even suppressed the rays of the sun moving to the west.


    "Nate is so beautiful."


    Gail Gado, who was next to him, looked over there and said to Ryan, "What do you think of the dress I chose for Nat?"


    "It turns out you praised your own vision." Ryan said calmly, "Nat is not white at first, and this dark red dress exposes this flaw."


    "Forget it, Ryan."


    Over the past few years, Gail Gado has roughly understood Ryan¡¯s temper, because he criticized it unceremoniously, ¡°Your vision of clothing and fashion can¡¯t even reach the passing line.¡±


    "Okay." Ryan arranged his dark dress that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. "I admit that."


    "Hi, Mr. Jenkins."


    A middle-aged female director came to say hello, Ryan shook hands with her, "Hello, Ms. Campion."


    "Why didn''t Scarlett come?"


    Ryan shook hands with another person when he heard Gail Gado''s whispered questioning, and then said, "It seems that I have gone to Lanai with Taylor and Christine on vacation."


    "These guys." Gail Gado just murmured casually. She knew that these people who had known Ryan for more than ten years had privileges. "But Ryan, why don''t you go on the red carpet? Believe it. The organizing committee must be very happy for you to walk on the red carpet."


    "My dear." Ryan looked at Natalie, who was slowly coming here, "It is enough for you and Nat to leave the beautiful place to you. There is always some work to be done in advance behind the scenes."


    They came to Venice two days ago. Unlike Natalie, who attended public events and interviews everywhere, Ryan not only negotiated something with the head of the public relations team who came here in advance, but also contacted many people in private. To get a delicious piece from the big cake of the Venice Film Festival, work outside the theaters is even more important.


    Compared with the Oscars, the Venice Film Festival, which advertises art and experimentation, has a more obvious meaning. The same film rarely wins two awards. Ryan is aiming for the Golden Lion Award first, and the best actress second.


    Natalie came over, took Ryan''s arm, and walked into the Sarah Grand Theater together.


    As soon as Ryan took her to greet the members of the jury, Cate Blanchett walked over.


    "It''s been a long time, Ryan." She smiled here.


    "Come here directly from Sydney?" Ryan asked.


    "Yes." She pointed to the other side. "I''ll go and say hello to Ms. Jane Campion."


    After speaking, Blanchett walked away from Ryan, completely ignoring Natalie who was holding him from start to finish.


    Cate Blanchett''s "I''m Not Present" also participated in the competition unit. This film is an investment from Kidman Studios, but their main target is the best actress.


    Natalie curled her lips in the direction of Blanchett''s departure. She didn''t deal with the Australian actresses, and it wasn''t something that had only appeared in the past few years.


    "My dear." Ryan deliberately reminded her, "Your mouth is about to reach the base of your ears. You are the director of the opening film and the focus of the scene."


    Squeezing Ryan''s arm hard, Natalie shook hands with the person who came by.


    "Hi, Kayla."


    "You are so beautiful today, Nat."


    The people who came over were acquaintances, Keira Knightley turned to Ryan again, "You are still so handsome, Ryan."


    "Thank you." Ryan nodded slightly.


    "Nate, I didn''t expect you to have started to be a director." She seemed a little envious. "The film that I directed has also become the opening film of the festival. Congratulations..."


    Although she could hear a little sourness from Keira Knightley''s words, Ryan didn''t worry about anything. Unlike her previous life, she and Natalie were no longer on the same level.


    Afterwards, Ryan and Natalie greeted Mark Mueller, the chairman of the board of directors of the Venice Film Festival.


    This famous Italian producer went to study in China in the 1970s, and his first wife was a Chinese. It can be described as an authentic Chinese master. "Yellow Earth" and "Raise the Red Lantern" were all created by him. Introduced to the European film industry, Chinese-language films have been so strong at the Venice Film Festival in recent years and have a direct relationship with him.


    In fact, if you look at the guests attending the opening ceremony, you can find the strength of Chinese films at the Venice Film Festival. They account for nearly a quarter of the number, completely overwhelming the powerful Hollywood gang.


    Although Ryan has already done some work, he does not have much confidence in whether "Black Swan" can achieve one of the main goals.


    After all, this is not Oscar, nor Cannes.


    However, Mark Muller is currently reforming the Venice Film Festival, which is good for "Black Swan". In view of the depression and depression of the Venice Film Festival, he has also performed some operations on the film festival to make it a " The "flexible" film festival, especially in the last two years, has invited a large number of Hollywood films every time.


    As for the chairman of the jury surnamed Zhang, Disney''s Far East branch and some partners have already greeted vaguely, depending on how he chooses in the end.


    You know, this one has always been obsessed with Oscar.


    If the other party is willing to help, just help him get an Oscar nomination for best foreign language film in the future.


    For Ryan, the exchange of interests has long been familiar to him.


    Entering the theater''s screening room and finding a seat, Ryan and Natalie had just sat down, and Gal Gado had also walked over, her seat was next to Natalie.


    "Did something happen, Gail?" Natalie asked her.


    "Nothing." Gail Gado sat down and adjusted a more comfortable posture. "You know, Nat? People who greet me are always talking about Wonder Woman or Princess Diana, calling me plus There are very few people with many young ladies."


    "Superhero movie sequelae." Natalie laughed and patted her comfortingly, "I''m not like you. When I walked to the fan''s signature, many people were calling Katniss..."


    "Gail." Ryan suggested. "Try some other types of roles."


    "That''s all." Natalie whispered in her friend''s ear, "Take it slow."


    "I heard that you are planning a new movie?" Gail Gado was well informed, and he was not polite with Natalie, "Is there a suitable role for me?"


    "Sorry, Gail." Natalie didn''t conceal the meaning. "That''s a script about the Iraq War. The slightly more important characters are all men."


    "War?" She was puzzled.


    "Not what you think, anyway..."


    The host of the opening ceremony stepped onto the stage, and Natalie said briefly, "It''s not a war epic, it''s a reflective theme. If you have time, you can go to my side to read the script."


    The chairman of the Venice Film Festival, Mark Taylor, and the chairman of the jury, director Zhang Moumou, successively took the stage to give speeches, and then the opening film kicked off.


    "A prince went hunting and fell in love with a white swan princess who could only appear in human form at night and was "imprisoned". The prince invited the princess to attend his birthday dinner, when he would confess his love to marry the princess. .


    However, the white swan princess who was cursed by the evil magician finally failed to attend. Instead, the other woman who transformed into the white swan princess¡ªthe magician¡¯s daughter¡ªwas just wearing a black dress, like a black swan. Confused the prince''s heart.


    In the end, the prince saw through the conspiracy and returned to the white swan princess, but was framed by the evil magician. The white swan princess went with the prince swept away by the big waves and fell into the lake and died. "


    The story line of the movie is probably like this. Following the plot of the famous ballet "Swan Lake", it adopts another ingenious and complicated "play in play" mode, combining the depression and schizophrenia issues that are most popular in literary and artistic movies. The art of auditory hallucinations and hallucinations in the medical field are processed into weird visual feelings and jumping thinking equations, and the vividness and mystery that images can only show with the charm of "lie".


    Although the current film is made by Natalie, Ryan''s focus is nothing more than Natalie''s performance in it and the shooting techniques used.


    After all, these will be related to the future harvest of the film in the award season.


    At the end of the film, when Natalie performed the black swan, it was shocking and full of appeal. In addition to the visual effects of music, dance and lens special effects, her look and eyes were also incredibly amazing and penetrating. Full of confidence and magic.


    In fact, compared to most of the previous time, Nina''s only and timid and cautious, especially the look of fear and fear, the shock is more intense, and Natalie can interpret both so accurately and vividlyPhase Compared to her popular Amidala and Katniss, this role undoubtedly has more room for her to play her acting skills.


    In addition, every time Nina is facing the mirror in the bathroom dressing room alone, she always performs with extremely difficult emotions. Her feelings that she usually suppresses in front of others, but release when she is alone, are very close. In long-lens shooting, it is the most fully tested method of acting.


    And Natalie did it seamlessly, every time it was more exciting.


    All of these reminded Ryan of the movie more than ten years ago. At that time, Nat''s performance was shocking enough to have the magic power to turn tigers around the world into butter. Now all this is normal.


    There are also a series of directing techniques.


    The use of color and light has always been an area where Natalie is good at. The background and meaning of pink, gray and black and white have a stronger impact in the film than in the original set.


    For Nina, the protagonist, Natalie used a lot of follow-up techniques, and the plot following Nina was extremely brilliant, which made people feel uneasy, horrified, worried and struggling with her. r1152()

 Chapter 773： No madness, no evil

    "The style and role of the film, although obviously more dark than my previous works, does not mean that I will change my direction in the future and abandon mainstream Hollywood films.{"


    At the press conference, Natalie did not give them the opportunity to challenge journalists who were mainly European media. ¡°In everything I do, I always want to try to learn something new. This film It¡¯s just a part of it...I never wanted to try to do things that are purely artistic and dark. I prefer mainstream movies, Hollywood movies in a more traditional sense."


    "Then why do you want to make such a film?"


    A reporter who spoke French-accented English asked, "Don''t you think such films and characters are more meaningful than "The Hunger Games" and Katniss?"


    "This is a movie, a story, and it doesn''t represent the other."


    Natalie does not necessarily lose to Ryan when it comes to lip service. "It not only depicts the heroine¡¯s narcissism, but also presents her self-loathing side. I think this is very interesting. If it is presented in images, the audience will also like."


    No matter what the European reporters ask, Natalie¡¯s words have never moved closer to the so-called art and the dark side of exposing human nature. She has been influenced by Ryan for many years, and she has grown up in Hollywood full of commercial atmosphere. What does the film say to her? Some more, it goes without saying.


    Later, a reporter asked her about her in life. Natalie cleverly borrowed the characters in the film and said, ¡°White swan always pleases others, black swan is a little lonely and self-admired, and my character is closer to the latter. The first thing to express is It¡¯s my liking."


    Entering the backstage, before Natalie had time to react, Ryan stepped forward and gave her a strong hug.


    "The movie is excellent, Nat." Ryan whispered after letting go of her. "You gave me enough confidence."


    The best memory of this year''s Venice Film Festival is destined to belong to Natalie. Under the spotlight, she is an amazing "girl in red dress"; in the opening film, she has become a mysterious "black swan".


    "Every film exhibition will benefit a lot from a good opening film, but an opening film that has attracted much attention like "Black Swan" is not common."


    This is what Mark Taylor, the chairman of the Venice Film Festival, said in an interview, "This is the best film of the year, and Natalie Portman''s directing is as good as the performance."


    Ang Li, who took the film to participate in the competition, also accepted an interview with reporters.


    "Under the excellent use of light and shadow, director Natalie Portman has the skill of filming with ease. The horrifying and shocking psychological drama in the second third of the film is for a female director. It is extremely difficult, but she beautifully arranges the violent elements in the entire movie, and uses a beautiful ballet as the outer shell, passionately telling the audience the absurdity of glory and darkness."


    Those preliminary preparations were not done in vain, and even many mainstream media in Europe were full of praise for the film.


    "Natalie controlled the layout of "Black Swan" in a small range, paying attention to the performance of details. This is a relatively perfect small and exquisite work. The artistic atmosphere is full of the whole film."


    "In the suspense design of schizophrenia and the role relationship, Director Portman adopted a''quick puzzle solving'' method, that is, after creating suspense and horror, quickly reveal the answer to the audience. Do not let the audience produce false and real Indiscriminate and obscure feelings."


    Counting the opening films of the Venice Film Festival over the years, there are winners and losers. "Black Swan" has won praise. But it is not that no films have received higher praise in the past. The biggest difference from those films is that "Black Swan" is a bit obscure and dark. But it will not make most of the audience look down, and the movies made by Natalie in Hollywood mode actually still have a lot of commercial atmosphere.


    What''s more, the film features the three most appealing actresses of Hollywood''s new generation, including Ryan as a guest star in soy sauce...


    After the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival, it landed in North America on the weekend and only appeared in 20 theaters in the first week.


    However, since the release of "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire", Disney has borrowed the movie-watching craze to promote the new film directed by Natalie, which has attracted many people''s attention to this film, especially those of Natalie, Hardcore fans of Scarlett and Gail Gado entered the theater one after another.


    On the first three days of the week, "Black Swan" completely exceeded Ryan and Natalie''s estimates. It earned 1.79 million US dollars in 20 theaters, and the single-library score reached nearly 90,000 US dollars. For the film, this is simply incredible.


    Similarly, the film received a lot of praise in North America, but unlike the European side that directed Natalie as a director, the North American media focused on her performance.


    "The film is full of tension, mysterious and fascinating, and Natalie Portman''s brilliant acting skills have made her leap from the ranks of first-line actresses to a superstar. I believe it will be possible for herself in the near future. Won back several trophies."


    -"Vanity Fair"


    Even though it''s only September, the PR battle for the North American awards season can actually start.


    "Through her performance...you can feel Portman bravely stepping out of the realm she is already familiar with, and instead interpreting a character who has gradually lost his self-examination. This is very courageous for an actor. Of course she succeeded too."


    --"New York Times"


    "Natalie Portman perfectly interprets the Puritan dancer Nina with her skinny body, pale face, and horrified eyes."


    -"Los Angeles Times"


    "The whole movie revolves around Natalie Portman. It is absolutely a heroic performance. There is no madness or a devil, and a great actor was born!"


    -Yahoo Entertainment


    The media from Disney has spared no effort to promote Natalie. Among them-the superb performance in "Black Swan" has completely completed Natalie''s transformation-so similar news emerges endlessly.


    Not to mention Natalie, even Scarlett, who was the female number two, received a compliment, ¡°As Portman¡¯s perfect opponent, it is also soft and dark, but compared to the fear revealed in Portman¡¯s innocent eyes, Carrie Johansson is no exception, and Portman shines with each other."


    As for Ryan and Gail Gado, they were automatically ignored by the media...


    It can be said that quite a lot of mainstream media in North America, especially Hollywood, can¡¯t wait to line up to sing a hymn called Natalie Portman.


    In addition to Ryan''s influence, there are many reasons from Natalie herself.


    In every era, Hollywood will always launch several very representative female stars to demonstrate the prosperity and glory of this circle, and also attract more young girls, like moths to the fire, rushing in forever. In this circle.


    If the last era was represented by Nicole and Julia Roberts, are there any more suitable candidates than Natalie in the new generation?


    A high-achieving student who graduated from Harvard University has both the director and acting talents, a strictly self-disciplined lifestyle, the support behind it, and the orthodox Jewish identity.


    These are all the advantages that Hollywood actresses of her era did not possess.


    In North America, the home base of Hollywood, even people who don''t like movies of the genre and theme of "Black Swan" mostly approve of Natalie''s performance in the film.


    "The story is relatively old-fashioned and lacks new ideas; and there is little in-depth exploration. But the atmosphere and spirit are fully grasped, and the shots are very tense, fragmented, and beautiful. Natalie Portman''s performance is excellent, even if she looks more Like a white swan."


    "I don¡¯t like the movie "Black Swan" very much. The psychological thriller part behind it is actually far-fetched. Personality and schizophrenia seem to be the right weapon for all literary and artistic movies, but Natalie¡¯s performance is really good and worthy of a small gold people."


    The subject matter of this film is relatively small after all. It is normal for some people to dislike it. Most of these people say they are pertinent, unlike some people who always attack for the sake of attack.


    ""Black Swan" is a mess at all, it''s **** with the name of art. Natalie Portman''s performance is flashy. As an actor, she is opportunistic and unreliable."


    Ryan and Natalie just saw this film review of David Denby from the Internet, and there was even more exciting news about him from New York.


    David Denby, one of the most famous and largest film critics in the United States, has been the chief film critic of the "New York Times" before, and just this month, after 31 years of playing for the "New York Times", he was officially accepted yesterday. The dismissal of the old club-this incident suddenly surpassed his film reviews and became a hot topic throughout Hollywood and even the United States.


    And American film critics, including Roger Albert, collectively spoke out, blasting the cold-blooded behavior of the "New York Times" and fully supporting David Denby.


    Roger Albert even made harsh comments to the New York Times in his blog vowed that he would never subscribe to the New York Times again in his life, and those who have subscribed this year will also unsubscribe...


    Fortunately, he learned the lesson from last time and did not call on others to unsubscribe, otherwise another huge storm is waiting for him.


    In fact, this is understandable. The New York Times is a business newspaper. When film critics are no longer attractive, the dismissal of them can not be more natural.


    The collective condemnation of film critics is not unreasonable. They are bound to worry that this will become the beginning of a more marginalized film critic, just like Ryan did in the past.


    Facing Roger Albert''s harsh words, the "New York Times" responded unceremoniously-I don''t want to exaggerate, but the world structure of film critics has collapsed!


    Subsequently, "Variety" magazine terminated the contract with the big-name film critic Todd McCarthy, and the "Hollywood Report" also stopped cooperating with another well-known film critic...


    (The real event-due to the sharp decline in influence, around 2010, many media including "Variety Show" and many other media canceled their contracts with many film critics.) (To be continued...) ()

 Chapter 774： The chairman of the college and the black swan

    Read the domain name of this site online in plain text; Please visit for synchronous reading on mobile phone


    Hollywood has a complete film industry system, an industry system, and the status of each profession is determined by this industrial system. This is the most basic issue of industrial resource allocation.


    Professional film critics themselves are a part of the film industry system. The biggest change between the present and the past is nothing more than a change in status.


    Going forward more than ten, twenty or even thirty years, those well-known film critics who are at the top of professional film critics say that their film reviews are directly related to the success or failure of a film, or even life and death. That is a well-known film critic. In the era when the wind is calling for rain, in that era, even a metropolis like Chicago took out a path to name it after Roger Albert.


    For commercial interests, Hollywood production and distribution companies will naturally have a good relationship with them; in order to get praise, Hollywood''s big-name movie stars sometimes bow their heads in front of them.


    Similarly, a considerable part of their income comes from Hollywood.


    When Jenkins Pictures just started, this business was in charge of Julis Stewart. Every trial film will not only provide film critics with round-trip air tickets and accommodation in three-star hotels or above, but also prepare exquisite gifts. The status of each film critic is exchanged or exported.


    For example, in addition to the remuneration provided by the media that the well-known film critics provide, Hollywood companies will also send a remuneration that is often far more than the remuneration based on the length of the other''s film review and the degree of praise for the film.


    Of course, this public relations fee can also be saved, but the professional reputation of the next film...


    Although there are many differences in the film industry on both sides of the ocean, in terms of public relations costs, there are actually commonalities.


    To put it bluntly, in the era when the Internet has not yet emerged, these traditional film critics are to a certain extent equivalent to the current Internet navy. It''s just going to be a lot more advanced.


    The open network and the renewal of the main movie audience can be said to be the biggest reason for the sharp decline in the status of professional film critics.


    From the current six major Hollywood labels to any small film studio, no one likes these to **** blood on their backs. A vampire who ridicules himself from time to time.


    Therefore, when Ryan owns the huge platform of Disney. The cooperation with most professional film critics was stopped again, and the commercial production under its banner continued to sell well in their attacks. An irreparable gap has appeared between Hollywood and professional film critics.


    Everything in the back also appeared logically.


    It will not affect the new generation of film viewers who are the mainstream of the market, and will not be seen by the six major Hollywood labels. The professional film reviews written by them lack attention. It can be said that it is natural for various media platforms to terminate their contracts, even if it does not appear now. . It will still happen in the future.


    Not to mention professional film critics, even the influential film magazines of the last century are now on the verge of death.


    After the famous "Premier" magazine ceased publication in the first half of the year, there were almost no popular film periodicals in the United States, while the more industry-oriented "Hollywood Report" and "Variety Show" had similar difficulties.


    It is no exaggeration to say that the profession of film critics has been completely marginalized by the entire film industry.


    However, Ryan knows that film critics will not disappear, and the future will inevitably be an era of public participation and even ¡®everyone is a film critic¡¯. In such an era, it is impossible for a well-known film critic with great influence to appear again.


    Film critics like David Denby, Todd McCarthy and Roger Albert can only be said to be the product of an era.


    Of course, the current film critics are not completely useless.


    For example, their comments. To a certain extent, it can also affect the college judges composed of old men at the core.


    This is the main reason why Disney is still funding a few film critics in the greater Los Angeles area.


    Similarly, these old men who have experienced the so-called golden age still have some friendship with some old film critics, and they don''t want the industry to melt away completely.


    For example, Hollywood is well known that Frank Pearson and Todd McCarthy have been good friends for decades.


    After "Variety", "The New Yorker", and "The New York Times" and other print media have terminated their contracts with film critics, the current president of the Academy, Frank Pearson, flew to Venice from the Canary Islands, Spain, where he was on vacation.


    The oval hall has a beautiful curve, and there is no column in the whole hall. The vision is wide; the golden decoration and the brown-red carpet silently interpret the ¡®low-key luxury¡¯. On the twenty-foot-high ceiling, is a bright Italian-style chandelier.


    Below the chandelier. More than a dozen oak round tables were loosely arranged in two rows, and the waiters dressed in formal clothes shuttled back and forth among them, presenting the guests with carefully crafted and exquisite and delicious Italian dishes.


    This is a party organized by Ryan in the form of a formal dinner, and it is also one of the public relations actions of "Black Swan".


    In other words, this is also a social party, and most of the guests just tasted it, and soon put down their knives and forks.


    Looking around, Ryan was whispering something to the chairman of the academy Frank Pearson. Natalie picked up the wine glass and stood up. This is a party for her, and her hostess is naturally indispensable for socializing.


    She can speak many languages. Although she is not fluent or proficient, simple greetings are not a problem. With a spring-like smile, Natalie walks back and forth between the dining tables, meeting one by one, familiar or unfamiliar. Guests talk.


    Occasionally she would look back at the main table, and Ryan was always talking to those old men from Hollywood.


    With a light sigh, Natalie knew that in Ryan''s heart, Oscar is much more important than the Venice Film Festival, and his priority must be the Oscar statuette.


    Of course, she herself thinks so too.


    "Hi, George."


    After touching the glass with George Clooney, Natalie took a sip of the red wine, "I didn''t expect to see you here."


    "I''m on vacation in Italy."


    George Clooney shrugged gracefully, "I came here after receiving Ryan''s invitation. I still have some connections in Italy. Please speak up if you need help."


    "Will."


    That''s how it is said, but Natalie will never speak easily. She knows that once she asks the other party for help, it is not only herself but Ryan who owes favor.


    In order to help her realize her dream, Ryan has done too much.


    Natalie looked back at the main table. The boy who joked about giving herself ten scripts was fulfilling his promise and pushed her to the highest place step by step.


    Shaking her head, Natalie dissipated the unwillingness that was coming up in her heart, waved with Gal Gado who came by, and the two walked to a slightly quieter place together.


    "Gail." Her brown eyebrows fell and wrinkled together.


    "Did something happen, Nat?"


    "Don''t you think we should further expand the social circle." Natalie''s brown eyes flickered. "Establish an alliance that exchanges what is needed and can maintain a basic agreement in general."


    "You mean..." Gal Gado understood immediately, "Like the Australians and the British helped those people?"


    "correct."


    Seeing Natalie nodding, Gail Gado sighed, "Don''t you know, Nat?"


    "what?"


    "You, me, Scarlett, Christine... Anyway, there are a few other people who are close to Disney."


    Seeing a waiter passing by, Gail Gado stopped and waited for the other person to walk away, and continued, "They are all called the ¡®Disney Gang¡¯."


    She raised her eyebrows, but Natalie didn''t say anything. The Disney brand on her body couldn''t be wiped off.


    "I mean..." She turned and prepared to walk towards the main table. "We should unite more Jewish or Israeli actors."


    "Ok."


    Gail Gado nodded his chin in agreement.


    The two opponents of my life, one is the leader of the Australian gang, the other is the symbol of the Hollywood fashion industry, and I always have a unique circle.


    Ryan doesn¡¯t know much about these ideas of Natalie, but even if he knows it, he will only tease a few words. Regional and ethnic identities are universal in the world, and Hollywood actors often group together in this way. , Advance and retreat together in certain events.


    Of course, Natalie and Gail Gado¡¯s ethnicity are inherently superior in Hollywood.


    "Frank, I think you should know."


    The other party made a special trip to Venice in order to be an old friend of film critics. Ryan also understood this. "Although I am very upset with Roger Albert''s vicious attack on "Transformers", I am not going to talk to all the film critics. People can¡¯t make it through. The cancellation of "Variety" and Todd McCarthy has nothing to do with Disney."


    Frank Pearson and Todd McCarthy have been good friends for decades. This is no secret in Hollywood.


    "Ryan, film critics have existed for decades." Frank Pearson slowly put down his knife and fork, "They are an integral part of the film industry."


    "I understand this."


    Ryan just doesn''t pay attention to film critics and he doesn''t have the kind of messy idea of ??eliminating a profession. "Film critics will not disappear, and with the help of the Internet, the group of film critics will rapidly expand."


    Unfortunately, the influence and living space of professional film critics will be squeezed smaller and smaller.


    Aside from this, industry insiders like Frank Pearson also understand, "Times have changed."


    He shook his head and said directly, "If I remember correctly, the TV station has an evening movie recommendation section, and the ratings have always been good. I called Todd yesterday and he doesn''t want to retire temporarily."


    Regarding these words, Ryan can understand that from a public figure to a retired old man who is ignored, I am afraid that few people can accept it, and the influence of Vanity Fair is not so easy to get rid of.


    Lowering his eyelids and thinking for only a few seconds, Ryan said, "I will greet the program''s director."


    Frank Pearson smiled immediately, but Ryan raised his eyelids suddenly, looked at him and said, "Frank, I wonder if you watched "Black Swan"?" (to be continued) ()

 Chapter 775： Harvard alumni

    The rotating chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. This title does sound great. In fact, it¡¯s incomparable to giants in the entertainment industry like Ryan. Their influence lies more within the Academy, especially the older ones. Among the core judges.


    Maybe Frank Pearson didn''t have much power, but he had strong qualifications.


    Compared to young people like Ryan who quickly became famous, Frank Pearson, who is already in his seventies, is more likely to influence the conservative judges.


    Ryanken sold him a favor, not without reason, as long as he can influence the choices of some of them.


    There is nothing hard to say about the situation of repaying favors in the direct communication in the West.


    "Frank, I remember Jenkins Pictures should have sent you a copy of "Black Swan"."


    "Yes, I received it."


    Frank Pearson is not confused, but he did not expect the favor to return so quickly, "I''ve seen most of the clips, frankly speaking, Miss Portman''s directing technique has greatly improved over "127 Hours". On the other hand, it is the highest level I have ever seen in the film she starred in."


    "Ryan, don''t you think..." Frank Pearson showed the old school side of the academy. "Is Miss Natalie Portman still too young?"


    "I don''t know if you noticed a phenomenon, Frank." Ryan didn''t directly deny him, winking at Natalie who was walking here, and waiting for her and Gal Gado to turn around. Said, "Hollywood''s top actresses have been out of gear."


    "Oh?"


    "Julia Roberts almost died after getting married, and romantic comedies have also declined." Ryan did not shy away from anything. "Nicole Kidman basically turned to the backstage. After them, Hollywood did not call for acting and box office. A female celebrity can be compared in terms of strength. We need a new generation of female celebrities, a person who can conquer the world with her own charm and attract more talents to join Hollywood."


    Pearson frowned a pair of gray eyebrows, obviously considering what Ryan said.


    Nodded to the person who said hello to the other table. Ryan is not in a hurry to continue, he said these things are the status quo in Hollywood. After several major actresses who were born in the 1960s reduced their births, the female stars of the 1970s did not appear to be able to carry them. Even the most prominent Charlize Theron is far from being able to compete with Nicole and Julia. ? Robertsby.


    What''s more, no one in Hollywood knows now that South African diamonds are more interested in doing business than making movies.


    The academy is a Hollywood academy, and it must safeguard the interests of Hollywood and ensure Hollywood''s leading position in the world.


    Looked at Pearson. Ryan said slowly, "Not every actress with outstanding acting has a bachelor''s degree from Harvard."


    This sentence is obviously a reminder that there is still a circle in North America called alumni!


    Like Natalie, Frank Pearson is one of the few Harvard alumni in Hollywood.


    After asking John to send Frank Pearson and his party away, Ryan took the juice in front of him and took a sip. The other party didn''t say anything clearly, nor did he guarantee anything. But the meaning revealed is enough.


    I believe that in the Oscar voting next year without touching the bottom line. There will be more conservatives choosing Natalie.


    The alumni card has already been played by Ryan. As for the ethnicity card, it is relatively easier.


    Regarding Oscar''s public relations, Ryan is not too worried, but at the Venice Film Festival, even if he has done a lot of work, he still has not much confidence.


    After all, this is Europe, not North America.


    otherwise. In the past week, Disney will not hold parties frequently.


    Although the members of the jury were unable to attend. But everyone has a social circle, and there are always people who can influence them.


    such as. Ryan specially invited Zhang Weiping of the new picture. They have a lot of business dealings with Disney''s Far East branch. These are all obvious exchanges of interest, and there is always a way to influence the opening director of the Olympics.


    If you don''t use enough public relations methods, and with the strength of Chinese films at the Venice Film Festival in recent years, even if Li Ang praises Natalie to the sky, 80% of the final golden lion will still fall on the head of Lust Caution.


    As for the best actress, she has been in friendship with Cate Blanchett for more than ten years, so she can''t take away the awards that she can basically get...


    "What do you think?"


    A hand swayed in front of his eyes, but Natalie walked back, "very ecstatic."


    "It''s another business deal."


    Seeing Natalie''s slight astonishment, Ryan gestured to her to invite her to sit down, "It''s nothing, Frank Pearson wants to help his friend find a high-paying, high-profile job."


    "Todd McCarthy?" Natalie put down her glass after sitting down, "So you agree?"


    "Yeah~"


    Ryan nodded, "He''s not David Denby and Roger Albert. He basically didn''t attack us unscrupulously."


    If Frank Pearson''s mouth was replaced by them, Ryan would not pay attention at all, and the situation of these two seemed not very good.


    However, most of these people are wealthy, and they were basically fattened by Hollywood in the early years. If they retire in peace, they will have a good old age.


    In fact, this large-scale contract cancellation event has basically nothing to do with Ryan and Disney. This is just a spontaneous commercial behavior by the media, just as normal as the manual loom was replaced by a steam loom.


    There is still some time before the end of the film festival, and the public relations will naturally be taken care of by a professional team. Ryan simply accepted the invitation of the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich and went to Manchester in the Kingdom of Great Britain to watch what he had almost forgotten. Manchester United vs. Chelsea.


    As the owner of the team, Ryan can be said to be very careless, but this time he came to Old Trafford Stadium, he prepared a gift for the team¡¯s players and all members of the coaching staff-as early as the first half of the year. Patek Philippe made a commemorative watch-in recognition of the team''s return to the Premier League last season.


    As for bonuses, he is not the kind of local tyrant who carries a safe into the locker room to sprinkle gold. This is a commercial football club, and everything is done according to the contract.


    "Last season did a good job."


    After sending out the customized watch, Ryan deliberately stopped in front of Cristiano Ronaldo''s locker and patted his arm lightly, "I am optimistic that you will become the number one football player in the world."


    "Thank you."


    The Portuguese seemed to have seen an idol, "Can...can you take a photo?"


    "no problem."


    After saying this, Ryan regretted it. All the players rushed up, including several assistant coaches from the coaching staff.


    "Can''t the coach chase stars?"


    Faced with the complaints of some players, the assistant coach who is also Portugal plausible.


    Of course, it lasted only ten minutes from the announcement to the group photo. As a fan of the previous life, Ryan knew the locker room was sacred to the team, especially this is a British team.


    Out of the locker room, he saw Alex Ferguson standing at the door, shook hands with the old man, didn''t say much, and walked directly to the VIP passage.


    Ryan doesn''t mind that the old Scottish man is the boss of the team, as long as the opponent retires, don''t point fingers at the successor.


    It is said that he is considering retirement at the end of this season. Should he consider the head coach of Manchester United''s opponent today? If I remember correctly, that bird was dismissed this season.


    And Cristiano Ronaldo, if he follows the trajectory of his previous life, he will soon become the target of Real Madrid, and may even have become a target.


    Saying that he is not the Glazer of his previous life, Manchester United has no debts, nor is it bad for money...


    Last year, Manchester United''s total revenue reached 127.78 million pounds, the highest income club in the world, 16 million pounds more than the second-ranked Real Madrid.


    Ryan didn¡¯t mention a penny of the money, and all invested in the club¡¯s signings and infrastructure, especially the expansion of the Carrington base, making it the largest, most advanced and luxurious training camp in Europe, and even training at the beginning of the season. At the time, many players were lost in the huge training base, and the club had to temporarily send nearly ten staff members to give directions.


    Today, several outside financial institutions have valued Manchester United clubs close to ¡ê2 billion.


    "You did a good business at the beginning."


    This is what Abramovich said after seeing Ryan, but Ryan shook his head and said directly, "The Abu Dhabi consortium was scared away by my ¡ê3 billion asking price."


    This incident has long been hyped by the British media. Fleet Street thinks that Ryan is offering this outrageous price to scare away the Arabs, but it does not know if the other party is really willing to be taken advantage of He must be happy to facilitate the sale.


    Most of the topics of the two revolve around football, and occasionally talk about politics and economics. After several years of hard work, Abramovich is not completely repelled by the upper-class society in the West as at the beginning. Some of his subordinate companies and Disney Media such as TV stations and the Internet have also cooperated.


    This is a world where Western culture and values ??are rampant. Even if the rich, such as Roman Abramovich, want to truly enter the upper-class Western society, it is not an easy task.


    Compared to Ryan¡¯s expectation, the game itself was too flat. Just halfway through the first half, a Chelsea player was sent off with a red card, which directly led to an imbalance in the scene and was soon suppressed by Manchester United in the backcourt. Furiously, almost no counterattack ability, lost two consecutive goals before the end of the first half.


    Abramovich''s face was not very good, and Ryan estimated that the bird below might not be able to fly for a few days.


    The final score was two to zero. Chelsea''s scene was far from ugly. When Ryan returned to Venice to attend the final awards ceremony, the British also reported that the bird was over. (To be continued)

 Chapter 776： Magical journey

    There was thunderous applause in the Sarah Grande Theater, and the chairman of the Venice Film Festival Mark Muller stood in the center of the stage and announced the winners of the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Venice Film Festival. The winners are not one person, but a team. , The most powerful animation film production team in the world today. £à£à


    "Please... John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Peter Dougert, Andrew Stanton, and Lee Anchorage!"


    Regardless of other people''s reactions, Ryan took the lead to stand up and clap his palms. Under his leadership, everyone around him also stood up until the audience stood up.


    This is an honor that belongs to Pixar Studios, an honor that belongs to Industrial Light and Magic, and an honor that belongs to Walt Disney. Pixar, who was not cared about or even ridiculed at the beginning, has now become an animation giant envied by the entire world.


    The five winners are the All-Star team of Pixar Studios. In the Oriental vocabulary, they are the Five Tigers of Disney Animation.


    When the five people walked onto the stage, the award-giving guests from the backstage were obviously also carefully selected by the Venice Film Festival-George Lucas!


    He is the true founder of Pixar Animation Studios, even if he later sold this department to Steve Jobs, no one can deny this.


    Under the endless applause of the audience, George Lucas briefly talked about the first meeting with John Lasseter in the technical department of his own production company in 1979, and how the latter persuaded him. The whole story of investing and supporting the development of animation creation.


    Then, he presented the Golden Lion, which represents the lifetime achievement award, to the Pixar studio team.


    "Thank you George. Without his full support at the beginning of the establishment, there would not be the current Pixar studio."


    After winning the trophy, John Lasseter took the lead in standing in front of the microphone, "When Mark told me about the lifetime achievement award, I thought he had made a mistake. I was surprised. The achievement of the Golden Lion Award was the first in history. One time to the animation team. Not just one person. We have thousands of people working for Pixar. This is the luck of all of us."


    "Special thanks to Ryan, he completely brought the Pixar studio out of the predicament. He gave Pixar the greatest creative freedom. From 1993 to the present, he has given Pixar the greatest support."


    "Pixar has always insisted on not only the pictures, but the emotions expressed in the story, so Pixar''s animations are not only for children to enjoy."


    Others also said a few words one after another, and the central point of the words is naturally the Pixar animation they love. "Technology serves the plot. We find the best director and tell good stories. At Disney we also maintain our own style."


    Is Hollywood winning again?


    This result was anticipated by many people when "Ratuitouille" participated in the screening session. It is an indisputable fact that this year''s film festival is buzzing with Hollywood.


    But Ryan found some problems after watching Ratatouille, some problems that Pixar has continuously accumulated successfully, but it''s hard to say now. Everything has to be resolved when "Ratuitouille" is released on a large scale.


    Success always makes people overlook some problems, and Pixar is no exception.


    Those people in Asia and Europe will inevitably have some opinions. Of course, it is not that there are no people who understand. This is a reform made by the Venice Film Festival, or a compromise with the market and the world''s mainstream film culture. After all, the increasing lack of attention of the Venice Film Festival is not news.


    Prior to this, Brad Pitt of "Death of God" and Cate Blanchett of "I''m Not Present" had taken away the best actor and best actress respectively.


    If you can''t win back a city in another important award. Hollywood will rule this Venice Film Festival.


    Next is the best director, also known as the Silver Lion Award, which is also the award that Ryan is most worried about.


    "Don''t worry." Natalie suddenly took his hand and consoled her in turn. "As long as we try our best, it will be fine."


    "I hope it won''t be the Silver Lion Award." Ryan shook her hand back.


    The three major film festivals in Europe means that the cake is far more obvious than the Oscar. If "Black Swan" wins the consoling award for Best Director, the Silver Lion, it will inevitably miss the Golden Lion Award.


    Having done so much work in advance, the Silver Lion Award was not the result Ryan wanted.


    The applause sounded without warning, Ryan quickly recovered and saw Li Ang strode onto the stage and received the trophy representing the Silver Lion Award for Best Director.


    He smiled, and the corners of Natalie''s mouth curled up beautifully next to him.


    She also knows very well that Ang Lee and "Lust Caution" are the biggest opponents, now...


    Although it is the Venice Film Festival and not an Oscar, since they have joined the ranks of directors and have come to Venice, how many people don''t want to go back with a Golden Lion award?


    The applause was accompanied by complaints. Almost all of these sounds came from European filmmakers. If they could express their opinions, they would definitely denounce Mark Taylor and the jury, denounce them for losing the most proud artistry of the film festival. They denounced the compromise they made to their worst enemy, Hollywood.


    Yes, in their eyes, Ang Lee is still an authentic Hollywood director even with a Chinese-language film in the competition.


    Will the Golden Lion Award be taken away by Hollywood?


    Many people have come up with this idea. As long as Europe and Asia can keep the golden lion, the awards won in front of Hollywood will not matter at all, and the Venice Film Festival will still maintain its own sex...


    just¡­¡­


    These people unconsciously looked at the positions of Ryan and Natalie. No matter how they concealed them, it was impossible to hide some of the publicity, marketing and public relations from these people in the industry. After all, as long as they participated in the competition unit, they wanted to share To the cakes, light or dark off-disk means are essential.


    Even if the art advertised by the film festival is used as a measure, "Black Swan" has enough qualifications to win the prize.


    When Sophia Roland, the most famous Italian actress in Hollywood, stood on stage, many people had stopped whispering and guessing.


    After listening to Sophia Roland briefly said a few words, Ryan felt that Natalie was slightly nervous, and when he looked over, she gave him a smile...


    "The winner of the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture..." Sophia Roland barely paused, and quickly read the answer, "Black Swan, Natalie Portman!"


    "Congratulations, Nat."


    Ryan immediately congratulated him. After Natalie stood up, she gave him a strong hug, and then Gail Gado on the other side hugged and celebrated. Only then did she slightly lifted the mopping long dress and turned towards Walk on the stage.


    The applause sounded like a tide, no matter what kind of discussion there will be later, Natalie has become the biggest winner of this Venice Film Festival.


    Besides, after the press conference later, Ryan will return to North America with Natalie. How do European filmmakers and European media comment? Who cares about them.


    "Thank you!"


    After receiving the Golden Lion, Natalie stood in front of the microphone, "This is an incredible journey. I was surprised that I was able to get this award. Thank you Mark Muller for showing up and thank the jury."


    "This is my first Golden Lion Award and the first heavyweight award I won as a director. This is a magical experience. Here, I want to thank Scarlett Johansson, Gail Gado, etc. All those who participated in the filming of the film, thank all the members of the crew, thank Disney for their full support, and..."


    She looked this way, "Thanks Ryan Jenkins for the script."


    Natalie raised the Golden Lion, "This prize belongs to all of them, thank you!"


    Before the film festival, it¡¯s like European films are not entertained in North America. Not many European filmmakers are optimistic about Hollywood films. They will always say sourly that Hollywood films are just vain names, but they are just catching stars to serve as "big men", but the truth is But it proved one thing, Hollywood films, from quality to commercial operation to public relations marketing, can explode more than a dozen streets of European films.


    Generally speaking, Hollywood films have won two awards for best actor and best actress. It is no longer possible to make a big difference. However, like the Oscars, the quality of the film is only the basic condition to guarantee the award. compromise.


    For example, Ryan had secretly promised the new picture that he would guarantee an Oscar nomination for best foreign language film under the premise of the quality of the film.


    Any time winning a prize is the result of a combination of many factors.


    After the award ceremony, both Ryan and Natalie attended the press conference, and he also accepted an interview with reporters.


    "Miss Portman will be an excellent director. She is smart, calm and talented."


    When asked by reporters about Natalie¡¯s identity as a director, Ryan did not hesitate to praise, ¡°The most important thing is that no matter what results she achieves, she has always kept a clear head and knows what she wants. What is it, and what effort must be made for it, the success of "Black Swan" is the result of her over ten years of study and accumulation."


    If it were not for long-term learning accumulation and practice, even with the script of "Black Swan", Natalie would not be able to make this film.


    The Venice Film Festival came to an endGal Gado wanted to go back to Israel with Natalie, but she politely refused, and got on a private jet with Ryan and returned to their home base, Hollywood. .


    "How do you want me to thank you?"


    In the main bedroom of the cabin, Natalie straddled Ryan and pressed him firmly underneath, "A passionate kiss, or a fierce release?"


    Before Ryan could answer, Natalie covered his mouth, her brown eyes narrowed into long thin lines, and she swayed her waist and said, "I feel it, honey, don''t move, just lie down. Just enjoy it."


    After she finished speaking, she reached under her body with the other hand, rubbed it to find the position, and then lowered her waist.


    Strictly speaking, the Golden Lion Award of the Venice Film Festival does not weigh too much in the mainstream Hollywood film circle. It can''t even match the Palme d¡¯Or in Cannes, but it is always a heavyweight award. After returning to Los Angeles, Ryan and Natalie still invited many friends and partners to hold a special celebration party. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 777： Public relations is a complicated course

    The sun sank to the bottom of the sea, and the wafting sea breeze was less humid and more refreshing, which relieved the boredom of the Santa Monica beach. Occasionally, seagulls flying over the yacht would make a few cheerful calls. , But when the lights on the deck were turned on to illuminate the four directions transparently, these birds hurriedly flew away.


    The nearly 400-foot yacht slowly left the pier, slightly away from the coastline. Several speedboats on the paparazzi passed by, but did not dare to get too close. They could only point the camera with a telephoto lens in their hands to the side of the yacht. Keep pressing the shutter, and then leave disappointed.


    "Damn laser anti-camera device!"


    This is the resentment of the paparazzi, but there is nothing to do. The owner of that yacht is rich enough to install any state-of-the-art equipment; the owner of the yacht still has power, and they dare not get too close...


    The image of that sunny and kind boy still seems to stay yesterday, but the things that have happened in the past five years have constantly reminded the paparazzi that if the owner of the yacht is angered, the consequences will be serious and terrible.


    Yes, North America is a place of freedom. They have the right to interview and film freely, but these paparazzi know that freedom always has a double standard. If they insist on this freedom, they are likely to pay an unbearable price.


    The lights on the yacht are brilliant, and many people can be seen faintly moving through the telescope. It was Natalie Portman¡¯s celebration party. There were countless stars and celebrities, and there were even some old school that rarely appeared in Hollywood. , The paparazzi were reluctant to leave, they could only wander around a long distance.


    On the spacious top deck, more than a dozen waiters shuttled among the crowd with various drinks. From time to time, they added a few fresh and exquisite dishes to the middle table. The deck is near the left and right fences, and there are two rows of white. Many people were sitting around the tables and chairs, and laughter broke out in a hearty or polite conversation.


    No matter what these people look like in private. On this ship, at this party, they all showed their best.


    As an upstart in the director¡¯s circle, after Ryan¡¯s introduction, Natalie stayed in circles that were obviously twice or even two or three times bigger than herself. She knew that these were Hollywood¡¯s conservatives and she wanted to impress. People, these people are also friendly to her.


    From their conversation, Natalie could feel that this kind of friendship was partly based on Ryan''s reasons. The other part comes from her blood.


    They have the same identity¡ªJewish!


    In other words, she has a certain degree of consistency with them on a large scale. After all, Jews or Jewish descent all over the world are notoriously grouped under the premise of not causing major conflicts of interest.


    Just like Nicole Kidman will always take care of members of the Australian Gang at the Oscars and when appropriate, Hollywood always has some small circles delineated by identity and location.


    How to use the influence of each small circle is also a very complicated communication course.


    Having socialized with those important visitors, Ryan looked at Natalie. She has always been a smart girl, but in a short period of time, she has won the favor of many people by using her own performance and the advantages of her identity and ethnicity. He even talked about the possible relationship between his ancestors and some of those who moved from Europe during the war.


    An excellent film and an excellent role will always be the most basic admission ticket to the Oscars, which can affect the final ownership of the award. It is countless.


    This is Natalie''s celebration party, and at the same time a public relations party convened in the name of a friend, even if the awards season is still far away.


    "A very good movie."


    "This is the best female character on the big screen this year."


    "A literary film can have such a strong box office performance. Very rare."


    People kept coming over to say hello to Ryan, and at the same time veiled hello. The most praised "Black Swan" was.


    Ryan did not understand the box office performance of this film in the past life, and the North American box office in this life clearly exceeded his expectations.


    Following the first week¡¯s screening of 20 theaters and earning 1.79 million US dollars, "Black Swan" was released on a large scale in North America in the second week. The number of theaters soared to more than 1,500. With a sum of US$20.21 million, plus more than US$9 million received in the previous five working days, the North American box office totaled more than US$31 million in just ten days.


    This is just a literary and artistic film with a production cost of 20 million U.S. dollars, not a commercial film with a big production and publicity.


    Although the box office of the film has dropped significantly since the beginning of this week, the increase in the number of theaters to 2500 guarantees the total box office. By the Sunday of the celebration party, the North American box office has approached the 50 million dollar mark.


    According to the trend of the North American box office, if nothing goes wrong, the North American box office of "Black Swan" is very likely to exceed 100 million US dollars, and Natalie will also enter the ranks of 100 million box office directors.


    Of course, if you count the box office of the film in Europe, she is already one of them.


    "Black Swan" performed well in Italy, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain. Today, the global box office has accumulated as high as 115.88 million U.S. dollars.


    If Disney no longer invests other large expenditures, even if Ryan, Natalie and Scarlett sign a contract with a low pay and a high share, "Black Swan" will be enough to achieve a return on the box office and even generate some profits.


    However, Disney has set aside 10 million US dollars for Oscar public relations marketing, and Natalie himself has provided 5 million US dollars. As for Ryan, his entire team has already been deployed and invested more than 5 million US dollars in advance. .


    When he first entered Hollywood, Ryan only knew that public relations were very important to winning, but just like when Harvey Weinstein ran the first best supporting actor for him, he was not very concerned about how to public relations. To understanding.


    But after entering the new century, Ryan rarely revisited Vitoharve Weinstein, he has cultivated a mature team, and he has great experience in public relations.


    Especially in the late 1990s, when he and Harvey Weinstein were continuously bloodbathed, Oscar moved closer and closer to the direction of a money game.


    Of course, even without his previous life, the Oscars later became a game of money and public relations.


    To paraphrase the words of the previous life, investing enough money and contacts may miss the few golden men with the heaviest weight, but if you don''t invest, there is no possibility of winning at all.


    In name, this is not a public relations party, but those who have the right to vote here will not understand the meaning.


    Ryan is a little worried about the anti-Semitic forces and conservatives in Hollywood. After all, so far, no post-80s actress has won the Oscar for Best Actress.


    Hollywood also has anti-Semitic forces, but they are not mainstream, so don''t worry too much. For these conservatives, apart from Frank Pearson''s influence on a group of people, Ryan also prepared other means.


    There are more than 6,000 judges in the college. According to normal principles, being a member of the film academy must be a symbol of identity and status. Generally, you will also live a rich life. Those gifts in private may not play a lot of role.


    But don¡¯t forget, this is Hollywood, a drunken Vanity Fair. There are countless Hollywood celebrities who have gone bankrupt when they are old. The most typical example is how miserable Brando was in his old age. news.


    These people are conservative in their thinking, but they are not fools, and they are more likely to be influenced by public relations.


    For example, two actors who had been brilliant in the 1950s and 1960s have become a problem even paying for medical expenses. A charitable foundation from the Cayman Islands provided them with an interest-free loan. It can be repaid slowly with the monthly pension fund.


    Ryan''s team has a clear evaluation and detailed information for most of the important judges, including their preferences and ways of thinking, as well as the types of movies they like, what are they likely to be affected, and so on.


    Some of this information comes from Harvey Weinstein, but more from his research consulting company and public relations team for many years of hard work.


    Public relations is also a very deep course, and only by grasping the key position can a fatal blow be achieved.


    The Oscar is like a brilliant big game. The game always has rules, but today¡¯s stocks are getting less and less binding. If you still go to public relations like the tepid of the 90s, you can only look at the awards. Home.


    On the basis of ensuring the strength of his own public relations, Ryan asked people to collect information about the opponents Natalie might face. Before the nomination, the biggest threats were resolved in advance.


    For him, it may be difficult to affect the ownership of the Oscar statuettes, but it is easy to pull some people off the horse in the middle.


    The team also has news feedback They have evaluated the information about the movies that may be released this year, and believe that the biggest threats are Cate Blanchett and a French actress named Marion Cotillard.


    Kate said that if nothing unexpected happened, she would have declared "Elizabeth 2". The impression of the previous life combined with the words Nicole said after watching it, she will inevitably be dragged down by the poor quality of the film.


    As for Marion Cotillard in "Life of the Rose", this is not the home of the French.


    While socializing with the people who came to say hello, Ryan thought about a lot of problems intermittently, and he didn''t concentrate until John hurriedly walked over with his mobile phone.


    "Mr. Harvey Weinstein, he will call back in three minutes."


    Ryan nodded, and John took the initiative to stop a few people who came by. When the phone vibrated, Ryan walked to the secluded part of the bow.


    "What? Sex. The scandal? Has it been exposed?" (To be continued...)

 Chapter 778： scandal

    After leaving Walt Disney and returning to the Weinstein brothers, Miramax embarked on a literary film and strategy around awards. These are far from Disney¡¯s business policy. The cooperation between the two parties has gradually decreased, although the Swiss En doesn''t pay much attention to this company anymore, but he personally owns nearly 20% of Miramax''s shares.


    Although not a member of the board of directors, Harvey Weinstein naturally wanted to inform him of such a major incident.


    Perhaps the big Jewish man didn''t mean to let Ryan help settle things.


    However, this kind of thing was not notified by the media in advance, and someone stabbed it out on the Internet. The most important thing is that it is still a video, which is indeed very troublesome.


    After confessing a few words to Natalie, Ryan walked to the flight deck at the end of the yacht, took the helicopter directly back to Los Angeles, and made several consecutive calls. Nicole who received his call was not surprised, except for Mi In addition to the major shareholder of Lamax, he is also a member of the board of directors, and just got the news.


    The matter is not complicated. The bed of the well-known African-American professional manager, Richard Nanura, the current chairman of Miramax, was posted on a gossip website and quickly spread. It''s a normal woman who appears, which is nothing, but the heroine inside is Jessica Alba, and the time of the video shooting happened to be when Miramax was casting the cast for "Sin City".


    Many things in Hollywood are actually not secrets. There are a lot of rumours in North America, but private discussion and exposure to evidence are completely two concepts.


    If not handled properly, this matter is likely to affect Miramax and directly bring huge losses of hundreds of millions of dollars to Ryan and Nicole.


    "Harvey, this may not be an isolated scandal."


    In the reception room of the clubhouse in Malibu, Ryan directly asked Harvey Weinstein, who was sitting across from him, "What do you and Bob have in mind?"


    "That..." The big fat man frowned tightly. "Ryan, is there any hope..."


    "You should know better than me, Harvey."


    Standing up and walking a few steps, Ryan turned his head and said, "The Internet is an open media. When I came over, I had seen gossip websites. Now it is not something that our strength can hold down."


    Actually, Harvey Weinstein understands this, without him, but no matter who it is. There will always be a little hope, even if you know it is unlikely.


    "Only let Richard Nanura resign."


    Hearing Harvey Weinstein''s unwillingness, Ryan walked back to his seat, "Richard Nanura is indeed a rare talent, but this is the best choice right now."


    Things are far from that simple. Ryan believes that this kind of trading with small stars is by no means an exception in Miramax, and having said that, this kind of thing is not uncommon within Disney. The atmosphere in the entire industry is like this. Now what we need to consider is how to shut up those two people and take the responsibility on their own shoulders.


    Harvey Weinstein has been together in Hollywood for decades, and naturally understands the truth. After a few brief words with Ryan, he hurriedly left, and convened personnel to start crisis public relations.


    This incident was directly reflected in the stock market, and the New York Stock Exchange had just opened the next day. Miramax''s stock fell in response, and it fell by nearly 10% in just half a day, if according to the financial media. Together, Ryan and Nicole lost more than 50 million dollars in wealth.


    Celebrity scandals have always been the focus of public attention, involving both the chairman of Hollywood''s second-tier companies and the third-rate starlets of ¡®Sexual Disease¡¯. Paparazzi and gossip media across the United States have jumped up and down.


    The firepower was concentrated on Richard Nanura. Firstly, the star must be a weaker, and secondly, his experience was much more brilliant than Jessica Alba.


    As early as the early 1990s, the 31-year-old Richard Nanura became Disney¡¯s chief financial officer, the youngest one of the Fortune 500 companies; he also owned Starwood, a Fortune The first black in the top 500 companies in the United States.


    He was selected into the new lineup of Fortune Black Human Rights and is one of the most promising executives in the American business community.


    In the video uploaded to the gossip website, Richard Nanura pretended to be a **** star named "" and recorded the process of having **** with Jessica Alba.


    Fortunately, this guy did not mention the movie and role issues in the video, otherwise Miramax would face even greater trouble.


    It''s just that the video recording time shown on the video is too close to the casting time of "Sin City" in the text annotation and explanation below, and it is difficult to not think of some well-known things.


    Once a person is unlucky, there will often be more unlucky things.


    That is, on the second day, his ex-wife Tracy Nanura accepted an interview with the media, claiming that Richard Nanura had been addicted to **** for many years. He had been in Santa La, California as early as 1999. The City of Phoebe received **** addiction treatment. When she discovered that her husband had spent a full 10,000 dollars on a prostitute, she insisted on sending him for treatment.


    Although the problems of executives can be said to have nothing to do with the company, the widespread private scandals are so lethal. Miramax has not only become the focus of the public, but will also face investigation by the Actors Guild...


    In addition, several Hollywood stars, including Brad Pitt, have interrupted the cooperation negotiations with Miramax, and several directors have also withdrawn from the film that Miramax is preparing.


    All this led to further turbulence in Miramax''s stock. In less than three days, the market value had evaporated by 15%.


    Under the intensified **** scandal, it was an inevitable choice to sacrifice Richard Nanura to quell the turmoil, and Miramax soon announced that the other party had resigned for "personal reasons."


    As the protagonist in the video and a well-dressed victim, Jessica Alba¡¯s spokesperson said that this was just a mistake made when she was young and ignorant, and now she regrets it very much...


    In short, she pushed all this to her innocence and ignorance in crisis public relations, and in other things, she was extremely clever to choose silence. Obviously Miramax paid a certain price in order to stop her mouth. .


    According to common sense, this is the best crisis public relations response, and her team has done a good job. Compared with Richard Nanura, she will inevitably receive a little sympathy from the public and the media, and there is no possibility of turning over in the future. , But if you jump out of nonsense, the nature of the matter will completely change.


    In exaggerated terms, that would be against the entire Hollywood studio. Who will use her in the future?


    But things have had the opposite effect. Her very pure and ignorant statement has been ridiculed by the media. After all, even a fool will not believe the protagonist of the "Sex and Disease" and the young drug queen Lindsay Luohan? The confidant will be a simple ignorant person.


    Jessica Alba''s remarks inadvertently helped Miramax lose a lot of pressure.


    Of course, Ryan will not pay too much attention to such small stars. Miramax¡¯s compensation is not worth mentioning to him. What he cares about is just like what Harvey Weinstein said to him. Richard Nanura¡¯s individual incident, or was it a blow with ulterior motives?


    Does the other party have any other goals?


    "From the day the gossip was exposed."


    After kissing his daughter¡¯s little nose, Ryan said to Nicole, who was sitting on the other side flipping through the script, ¡°I told Harvey, this is definitely not an isolated incident.¡±


    "Dad...Dad." Sandy''s little hand scratched on him, scratching it from time to time, and then Grid smiled and said only a few words that he knew, "Dad...Dad, Mommy."


    "Don''t say these things in front of your children."


    Glancing this way, Nicole patted Sandy''s hands with fear. The little guy struggled to get out of Ryan''s arms, and leaned on the couch and walked slantingly towards his mother. Although the speed was very slow, he finally drilled. Into Nicole''s arms.


    "Mummy."


    Compared to Dad, she said the word too fluently.


    "My dear." Nicole kissed Sandy''s little face. "Let Aunt Elsa take you to the garden, please?"


    The little guy had no right to object at all, and was taken by Elsa into the stroller and pushed through the back door to the garden.


    "Ryan, you have to pay attention later."


    Sitting down again, Nicole closed the script and said seriously, "Even though Sonny is still young, our words and actions will affect her. Please don''t mention these too dark things in front of your children in the future. ?"


    "I hope Sunny has a carefree childhood." She said again.


    "Sorry, I may have overlooked this." Ryan understood that it was his fault and quickly promised, "I will pay attention to it in the future."


    "According to the analysis of Miramax''s technical department."


    Now that her daughter is gone, Nicole has no hesitation in discussing with Ryan, ¡°Someone used hacking techniques to steal these private content from Richard¡¯s computer and post it on the Internet.¡±


    "My people checked it." Ryan frowned. "They didn''t blackmail Richard, nor did they bid on gossip websites. They published it for free..."


    "What is their purpose?"


    Hearing Nicole''s words Ryan shook his head and said, "The idea of ??hackers is not something we can understand. Maybe these people just find it fun."


    Even so, Ryan doesn''t believe this. Behind the doors of Hollywood in the past life, who knows what is hidden.


    "Nicole." Ryan suddenly thought of something, "Remember, don''t take selfies indiscriminately in the future, and don''t store too private things in your phone or computer."


    "I''m not that ignorant."


    Standing up and tidying up her clothes, Nicole walked towards the back, "I''m going to find Sunny, won''t you be with me?"


    "of course."


    Ryan walked over and took her hand.


    The matter gradually subsided, but Ryan did not give up on the investigation. Miramax stock fell, so that he and Nicole had lost 80 million US dollars in the stock market, and the matter did not end so easily. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 779： Is it against us?

    This incident caused both Ryan himself and Miramax to suffer huge losses. In the follow-up self-investigation, the company¡¯s technical staff found more traces of hacking attacks, and many internal information was very likely to be stolen by hackers. Under Ryan''s strong insistence, the management chose to report to the police, and the FBI''s Los Angeles branch intervened.


    At the same time, Ryan also contacted the FBI through his own channels.


    Cybercrime appeared repeatedly as early as the ten''s. The FBI has a department that specializes in handling such cases. After a short period of investigation, they quickly confirmed that this was a hacking incident. It was just where the other party came from and within a short period of time. There is no clue.


    Perhaps others disagree, but Ryan knows the seriousness of this kind of incident. This is the first large-scale and public attack on Hollywood by hackers. It is hard to say that other hackers will not follow suit in the future. After all, celebrities and scandals are of interest to all the public. topic.


    Most importantly, Ryan has never believed that this is just a simple hacking incident.


    In the scandal that broke out in Hollywood, when there was no big hand pushing behind him, he suspected that the other party was not only targeting Richard Nanura, but also Miramax as a whole, and even...


    After the FBI intervened, Ryan deliberately convened a meeting with senior executives from various Disney departments and labels, focusing on cybersecurity issues, strictly restricting internal personnel from using the Internet to communicate company¡¯s private information, as well as for certain celebrities and the public. Personal views, especially discriminatory remarks, are prohibited from appearing on the company¡¯s internal network.


    In addition to solemnly telling Taylor, Scarlett and others to pay attention to protection, Ryan also discussed with Robert Iger and others to set up a special image consulting department within Disney to teach those Disney idols who have little cultural literacy how to Maintain your own image as much as possible in the Internet age.


    Disney¡¯s Zach Efron, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, etc., eat the bowl of rice idols, if something that shouldn¡¯t be revealed. It will definitely affect Disney''s income on them.


    Of course, if Disney abandons them in the future, these youth idols choose to degenerate or something else, that is what their agent and public relations team need to consider.


    It turns out that Ryan¡¯s worry is not redundant. Just when the FBI was still investigating, there were new trends on the network again. The person or organization that should be a hacker once again exposed Miramax¡¯s top-secret information. , This time the hapless person was Quentin Tasino''s turn.


    This is the happiest director working with Miramax, and it is not the scandal of Quentin Tastino that the hacker exposed. It was a new project he and Miramax collaborated on. They directly uploaded Quentin''s new script-a story about World War II and Hitler-to the Internet.


    Exposure of the script is likely to cause this project to be forcibly cut.


    Fortunately, Quentin wrote a very simple script framework, not even the first draft, otherwise Miramax would really cry.


    But even so, the revised script and the millions of dollars invested in the initial period will inevitably be in vain.


    The whole Hollywood is in an uproar, and many companies no longer pay attention with the mentality of watching the excitement. This has touched the bottom line of the entire Hollywood. There are too many things for each production company to see. Today Miramax¡¯s script was leaked. Who knows if it will be their turn tomorrow?


    Accompanied by the leaked script. There is also the identity of the hacker, a white supremacist organization calling itself the "Aryan Nation", claiming responsibility for Richard Nanura and the leak of the script, and at the same time expounding the main reason for the hacking-Richard? Nanura is an African-American executive. Miramax is a standard Hollywood Jewish power company.


    They claim to have a lot of secret information about Miramax, and warn Miramax that it is best to cancel the movie''s screening plan in the near future, otherwise they will disclose more ugly content.


    "Cancel the movie release plan in the near future?"


    Tap the desk lightly. Ryan pressed the intercom and said to the secretary''s desk, "Jane, send me a copy of Miramax''s release plan for this year."


    A few minutes later, the female secretary opened the door and put the Miramax''s screening schedule on the desk. Ryan took it and glanced it aside first, and then looked at it carefully.


    Miramax¡¯s "Teenage Ninja Turtles" released by Warner Bros. has long been released. This is just a simple, mindless commercial film and there is not much controversy.


    "Death Surgery" starring Jessica Alba was released this month, and the response seems to be very general.


    Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino¡¯s "Ring Room" is a traditional B-rated film. Although it has not been released, it has been seen in the past life, and it is unlikely that there will be much difference in this life. It should not touch white supremacy. Sensitive nerves.


    The Coen Brothers¡¯ "Old Nowhere", this film was distributed by Paramount, but it was produced by Miramax.


    Then...there are two movies produced by Disney Pictures, released by Miramax, and going straight to next year¡¯s Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film and other awards.


    It was also a strong response from Ryan, Hollywood, and the federal government against Iran.


    "I grew up in Iran" directed by the Iranian female cartoonist and illustrator Maja Shatabbi and "A Parting" by the Iranian director Ashar Fahati who was deported by the Iranian government.


    The former will be released in October; the latter will be screened from the beginning of November, and will be released on a large scale in North America and the world after the New Year...


    Compared with the former animated film full of commercial flavors, Askha Farhati¡¯s "A Farewell" is aimed at the Oscar''s best foreign language film, the Golden Man. With the current international political situation, it has won the best foreign language film. It''s not difficult.


    These two films brought together investments from Warner Bros., Disney Pictures and Paramount Pictures, as well as part of the federal government¡¯s sponsorship. It was also Ryan¡¯s idea to hand over to Miramax for distribution and operation. After all, Disney¡¯s main goal is "Black "Swan", it is impossible to disperse too much of its resources, and it is impossible to take too much into account.


    A hacker organization whose purpose is white supremacy will care about these two films?


    Thinking of this, Ryan shook his head and cast his gaze on the "Ring Room" which was released during Halloween. The other party exposed Quentin Tarantino''s future movie script. Will it have something to do with his movie?


    Dial Harvey Weinstein''s phone. Ryan briefly said a few words with the Jewish fat man, and frowned again.


    According to Harvey Weinstein¡¯s words and the FBI¡¯s preliminary investigation, the other party must have a lot of information on Miramax, which can even cause more trouble to Miramax, but the movie¡¯s release plan is delayed or Cancellation, Miramax also suffered huge losses.


    Not to mention the liquidated damages for the theaters, the tens of millions of promotional and marketing expenses will be completely wiped out.


    The most important thing is that if you compromise with them the first time, there will inevitably be a second time.


    Anti-Semitism, white supremacy, racial discrimination, and class contradictions, the seemingly powerful United States is full of various problems. These issues are directly fed back to Hollywood, the largest publicity window in the United States.


    Then George walked in, and Rodriguez also had preliminary findings. The ¡®broilers¡¯ used by the hackers came from Mexico and Venezuela, and it would be difficult to track their true position in the short term.


    South America...the United States also has a lot of problems with its back garden.


    A few words to George, Ryan left the Disney building and drove straight to North Hollywood. Natalie held a party at home and attended almost all famous Jewish people in Hollywood.


    Natalie is very smart. It does not rely solely on Disney''s public relations, and gives full play to the advantages of its ethnicity and blood.


    "Any clue?"


    At the open-air party in the garden, Natalie walked over after Ryan had a simple entertainment. Asked in a low voice, "What is their real purpose?"


    "It should be aimed at us."


    Although Ryan did not say clearly, Natalie also knew that ¡®we¡¯ was referring to Jewish forces, "do we need to unite more people?"


    "No need for now." Ryan shook his head.


    Now he hasn''t even figured out the true identity and true purpose of the other party. Countermeasures can only stay at the stage of anticipation.


    "mom."


    Hearing Natalie''s words, Ryan quickly turned around and politely greeted the middle-aged woman who came by. "Hello, Mrs. Shelly."


    "Ryan, we haven''t seen each other for many years?" Mrs. Herschle was not at all polite. She couldn''t control her stubborn daughter, but she always resented certain people. "You haven''t visited Long Island for a long time. ."


    Any explanation is unnecessary. Ryan wisely chose to be silent, letting Mrs. Herschle vent her dissatisfaction with guns and sticks.


    "Mom." Natalie pulled her mother. "Someone is coming."


    The person who came by was Scarlett Johansson. She greeted Natalie''s mother politely, and then asked Ryan directly, "Do we need to do anything?"


    In addition to the friendship that they have established for many years, they are still a community of interests. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a prosperous and all-lost.


    "We need money..." Ryan joked deliberately, "So, Scarlett, donate all your wealth."


    "As long as you need it." Scarlett rolled her eyes at him.


    Mrs. Herschle suddenly said, "Nate, if you need help, even if you ask I don''t have much contact with your father, but your grandfather and grandmother were still influential back then."


    Although it was Natalie that she was facing, Ryan knew that she was speaking to herself, "Thank you."


    Taking a look at this side, Mrs. Herschle no longer had the kindness to him at the time, and turned and left here.


    Ryan believed that if it were not for the hacker organization to target the Jewish forces, Mrs. Herschle would not have said such things at all.


    "Will Miramax postpone the movie release?" Natalie and Scarlett asked concerned.


    "No, we won''t compromise on this kind of thing." Ryan would not allow this to happen either. "I have communicated with the Weinstein brothers, and the Miramax movie will be released on time."


    Even in the open West, ethnicity and blood can bring a lot of convenience, but while enjoying these conveniences, you must also assume the responsibility of maintaining this group. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 780： We must fight back

    The white supremacy extremist hate culture with the color of "hate voice" has a large number of fans in the United States. The white supremacy movement not only exists, but it spreads beyond people''s imagination. These white supremacy believers make more use of online virtual space to interact with each other. Contact and spread hatred, and in a more complex reality, they do not publicly reveal their identities as extremists.


    Under pressure from Disney, the FBI raided several notorious white extremist organizations, but did not find any relevant clues. It seems that this matter has no connection with white extremist organizations.


    On the other hand, Miramax did not publicly respond to the hacker¡¯s request. The promotion and marketing of various films is still in progress, especially the upcoming release of "I Grew up in Iran" in October. With the promotion of numerous interest groups across the United States, The mainstream media accounts for a prominent position, and it is even listed as a must-see movie in October by many traditional media and online media.


    The United States has major interests in the Middle East, and Iran is a thorn in the Middle East. Demonizing boycotts of Iran is something that many interest groups are happy to see.


    Miramax has made it clear that he will not compromise easily.


    Including Ryan and the FBI, they are all waiting for the latest changes in the incident, and the other party did not let them wait too long.


    The same gossip website, also from the back garden of South America, "Broiler", hackers exposed the detailed script of "Ring Room" released on Halloween, this movie co-produced by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tastino , Hasn''t been released yet, so the entire plot has been exposed.


    Although the website quickly deleted content related to the script under Ryan¡¯s strong intervention, the speed of network information dissemination is amazing. This electronic script has fallen into the eyes of many fans, and the future box office of "Xing Fang" is inevitable. Will be affected.


    This is just a part of it. The hacker also published the emails between two Miramax executives, which were full of mockery of black movie star Chris Tucker¡ªlike a dirty and cheap one from Africa. Boiling...


    Needless to say. Such racially discriminatory remarks will surely attract dissatisfaction and protests from many people.


    In fact, remarks against black celebrities are very normal in Hollywood, where racial discrimination is serious. The executives of major companies often make fun of them in private, but it doesn¡¯t matter what they say in private. If they are caught by evidence and stabbed out, it is quite troublesome. Things.


    Apart from issuing an apology, Miramax had no other choice.


    In Ryan''s words, Miramax is now passive everywhere, and the stock price has plummeted. There are even investors who want to divest, and even the Weinstein brothers are shaken. They believe that appropriate concessions and compromises should be considered at this moment, otherwise Miramax may become the biggest joke in the United States.


    "Concession is a joke."


    In Harvey Weinstein''s clubhouse, Ryan said to the brothers seriously, "Many times, we will choose to compromise, but in this matter, we must stick to it. We..."


    He pointed to himself and then to the Weinstein brothers, "We are not soft guys who will give in when threatened."


    "Harvey." Ryan looked at the big fat man solemnly, "how did I ask you to count things?"


    "There are no more exaggerated remarks or pictures." Harvey Weinstein said vowedly. "No matter how bad it is, it can''t be worse than Richard''s **** scandal and racism."


    "Well, let''s stick to it."


    "However, many investors are considering divestment..."


    Bob Weinstein''s businessman nature broke out, and Ryan reached out and interrupted him. "It is estimated that Nicole and I will lose at least 200 million U.S. dollars in this incident. I don''t care about losing more money. I want to see what their purpose is. And who they are!"


    Eyes swept over the Weinstein brothers, and Ryan slowly said, "If someone wants to divest and jump out of this game, I have no objection, but...I won''t."


    "Neither will we." Harvey Weinstein is a smart man.


    "My foundation provides low-interest loans to Weinstein Pictures."


    Seeing the Weinstein brothers'' statement, Ryan nodded, "If anyone wants to withdraw funds, they are welcome to leave at any time."


    The divestment was just a few insignificant small investors. Like the Weinstein brothers, most of Miramax¡¯s shareholders have distinctive Jewish traces on them. With the encouragement and support of some people, these people short-term I will stick to it.


    Of course, Ryan''s statement is also their confidence.


    Although racially discriminatory remarks were exploded by hackers, mainstream media and websites did not pay too much attention to this aspect. Many media represented by Disney have packaged Miramax as a serious victim of the hacking incident. , And also advocated that we should not bow our heads to threats from extremist organizations.


    Public opinion cannot be controlled, but it can be guided. This is what the media is best at doing.


    The hacker organization has no next action, and it seems to be silent. The time is slowly moving into October. When "I Grew Up in Iran" was released for ten days, they finally issued the loudest since the Miramax incident. sound.


    "We have warned Miramax Films before. If we don¡¯t get a response, we will not let it go. We already have all Miramax¡¯s network data, including employee secrets and various high-level secrets. If we don¡¯t By complying with the requirements, we will make all the data public."


    "Immediately give up the release of "I Grew Up in Iran" and "A Parting" that undermine regional security and world peace! This is an attack launched by the Jews against the Islamic world. All Islamic brothers should unite and work to eliminate Jews and bring Jewish influence Get out of Hollywood completely!"


    "Miramax and the FBI, you can''t find us. We are perfect and indestructible. Only wise decisions and actions can save Miramax Pictures!"


    These people also warned the theaters-if there are theaters showing "I Grow Up in Iran" and "A Farewell", please think about the September 11 incident in 2001!


    Some employees and executives of Miramax received an email-what we have done so far is only a small part of the plan. If you do not want to suffer more losses, please sign in the email address below to oppose what Miramax Films did. Otherwise, you and your family will be in danger.


    There was a surprising change in Ryan¡¯s speculation. The hacker organization that quickly changed the name of the ¡°Aryan Nation¡± to ¡°Maintain Peace in the Middle East¡± threatened Miramax to cancel the films "I Grew Up in Iran" and "A Parting" ¡·, otherwise a terrorist attack similar to "9.11" will be launched in the United States.


    At this point, the hacker finally revealed his true colors. They came for these two films.


    The United States, which has just experienced the 9/11 incident, is sensitive. Almost all North American theaters have expressed concerns about possible terrorist attacks. Several theater companies, including amg, have also announced the temporary suspension of the upcoming "I grew up in Iran." "The screening plan.


    Then, several theater companies announced their abandonment of the screening plan, and it seemed that "I Grew Up in Iran" was about to end.


    Miramax is facing an unprecedented dilemma, giving up "I Grow Up in Iran" and "A Farewell" is almost the best choice.


    "Should it have something to do with the Iranian government?"


    It''s no wonder that Nicole thinks so. In the past few years, there has been constant friction between Hollywood and Iran, and even the Iranian government has lost its face all over the world.


    The bright lights dispelled the darkness of the night, and showed all the light in the garden. All the servants were sent to the front court by Ryan, and even the temporary waiter was Nicole. The conversation between them and the Weinstein brothers and others tonight must not be spread.


    "Hard to say."


    Bob Weinstein, who has always spoken little, took a sausage from the long dining table and sat next to Ryan, cutting and saying, "Even if it is not the Iranian government, it is inclined to their organization."


    "They are good at disguising."


    Catherine Kennedy, the producer of "I Grew Up in Iran," put down the knife and fork. "At the beginning I also thought it was an attack by those white supremacists against Richard and our Jewish descent."


    Holding his coffee cup. Ryan hasn''t spoken, waiting for the discussion on the table to gradually stop before putting down the cup.


    "It doesn''t matter whether the Iranians participated in this matter or not," he said slowly, "The Iranian government has to carry this scapegoat."


    "They are indeed the most suitable person." Harvey Weinstein nodded in agreement.


    "It''s up to now..." Ryan folded his hands. Put it on the table and set the tone for this incident, "This is an attack by Iranians against Jews and Hollywood as a whole. What they provoke is our freedom, the freedom of Hollywood productions, and I will report to the federal government. , The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security put pressure on them. Hackers handed them to track down.


    Everyone looked at Ryan, completely centered on him.


    "We must fight back to restore the image of Miramax and our financial losses."


    "I will contact the theater." Bob Weinstein ate the last piece of sausage, "As far as possible, it will be released as planned."


    "HarveyBob, Kate." Ryan''s speech is not fast, but he is very clear. "Hollywood movies have the dominant position of freedom of speech, which has been played out by Hollywood in the Supreme Court time and time again. Yes, it''s hard to come by."


    "This is a land where the concept of freedom is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When freedom is threatened by terrorism, the public will explode with the greatest enthusiasm. Don''t forget, these two films also have the full support of the federal government..."


    I said the general plan again, and everyone has no objections. Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Iran or not, the Iranian government¡¯s black pot is backed up.


    Even if they don''t do it, the Federal Government and the FBI will definitely throw this thing on the Iranians.


    In the past, present and future, the entire United States will not give up throwing dirty water on hostile countries.


    This has other benefits. The irritable Iranian government will definitely attack Hollywood, especially the Jewish people in Hollywood, and the Oscar, who has always been politically correct, is likely to choose Jewish people as a counterattack on important awards. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 781： Hold high the lights of freedom

    Although most of the remarks of the ¡®Maintaining the Peace in the Middle East¡¯ organization are directed at Jews, under the exaggeration of many media, this is their attack on Hollywood, threatening the freedom of the United States.


    What Ryan said is not wrong. Hollywood has made tremendous efforts in the past decades for its own creative freedom and will certainly not give up on this; the federal government also needs to further stimulate the nation¡¯s hostility towards Iran, and it shares common ground with Hollywood Interest demands.


    What''s more, the production of those two films was promoted by the Washington authorities.


    In addition to keeping in touch with the National Jewish Association and Hollywood celebrities, Ryan also personally hung up a phone call to the White House. The two sides had little communication and reached an agreement on this matter.


    The White House needs to further vilify Iran, and Ryan needs to use Iran to wash the ground for Miramax and the Jewish people, recover the previous huge losses, and even profit from the Oscar.


    "This attack is different from the cyber attacks we have encountered in the past. Its purpose is not only to cause large-scale destruction, but also to try to interfere with the freedom of speech in the United States."


    The cyber security company was hired by Miramax to conduct an investigation. The head of the expert team responsible for the investigation, Kevin Mandia, said in an interview, ¡°It¡¯s no exaggeration to say that this is a carefully prepared and planned Criminal behavior, and the planner should be an organized group, they took advantage of Miramax Films to launch this unprecedented large-scale attack."


    The FBI is even more direct. From the beginning of its formal intervention in the''Miramax Incident'', it has significantly increased the speed of detection. After Ryan and the White House made a phone call, they did not hesitate to identify Iran as the backstage. Pushing hands, also listed a series of evidence.


    "The hacking software used in the attack on Miramax Films is related to other malware developed by Iranians; the tools used in this attack are similar to those used in Iran''s cyberattacks on Israeli banks and media last year..."


    It is reasonable that Iran is the main messenger behind the Miramax incident, and it also conforms to the plot setting of the White House, Hollywood and even the public in the United States.


    "We did not give in. We did not give in, we have been insisting! Free creation is Hollywood''s tradition and power, and the free world will not compromise with terrorism!"


    At the press conference convened, Harvey Weinstein also expressed Miramax¡¯s attitude in a timely manner, packaging the seriously damaged Miramax as a freedom fighter, "Even if there is only one theater screen showing "I¡¯m in "Iran Grows Up", Miramax will also implement the original release plan!"


    Nokia Theatre also announced that it will cooperate with Miramax to host the premiere of the film.


    Subsequently, the ¡®Maintenance of Peace in the Middle East¡¯ organization launched another hacking attack on Miramax. But under the countermeasures of well-prepared cybersecurity companies, these guys had no choice but to publish remarks about the possible premiere on the Internet.


    "caveat!


    People who participated in the first premiere of the movie "I Grew Up in Iran" and went to the cinema to watch this movie, we will let you know what the end of the joke about the terrorist incident will be.


    Soon, the whole world will know how unbearable this movie released by Miramax is.


    Soon, the whole world will feel fear.


    Think about September 11, 2001.


    We recommend that you stay away from those movie theaters during movie screenings.


    If you live near a movie theater, it is best to move.


    Everything that will happen in the next few days is due to the ignorance of Miramax Films.


    Miramax Pictures will be condemned by the whole world. "


    At the beginning of the Miramax incident, the American public looked at the development of the situation just like other gossip scandals, and looked at the drama. Only the shareholders of Miramax were in the immediate pain, so Ryan decided to pull the entire American public into the water and let them pay for some of Miramax''s losses, and the terrorist threats made by the ¡®Maintenance of Peace in the Middle East¡¯ organization. It also angered the American public.


    In the eyes of Americans, it is legal freedom of speech to vilify Iranians and even spoof leaders of a country in movies. Hollywood and even the United States have a hard-won freedom of speech, so whether they are foreign or domestic political leaders and religious saints. Both can be the object of satire.


    Despite the threat of terror, Miramax still under the banner of freedom of speech under Ryan''s support. By insisting that the film be released on schedule, Miramax¡¯s hard-line attitude has reawakened the public¡¯s goodwill, and there are even many groups that support liberalism. Spontaneous organizers gathered in front of Miramax Films to show their support.


    Freedom may not be a universal value, it is definitely a value pursued in North America. When freedom is threatened, more and more people choose to stand up.


    The terrorist threat seemed to frighten many people who were preparing to attend the premiere. Ryan posted a statement supporting the premiere on his Facebook and blog.


    "If the release of "I Grow Up in Iran" is frustrated, then the sacred freedom of speech in our minds will be lost to the threat of terrorism. Conciliation in the face of threats is not what Americans should do. Freedom in American society should not be. Subject to the censorship of other countries, Hollywood and American culture should not be censored by other foreign forces."


    "I will attend the premiere, I will tell the Weinstein brothers, tell my friends that we will not succumb to any form of illegal attack! We will always hold high the lights of freedom!"


    It seems to be responding to the call, and hundreds of thousands of people reposted or replied.


    "Support Ryan, I want to attend the premiere."


    "In the name of freedom, we will never compromise!"


    "People who love freedom, will you be afraid of terrorism? I won''t!"


    This incident must have had a great impact on Hollywood this year, or even in several years, and it will go beyond the film circle and have a profound impact on American society.


    Perhaps the old guy in the sky was taking care of Ryan. Not long after he made an online statement, the federal government suddenly held a press conference to announce that with the assistance of the Spanish police and Interpol, it had captured Miramac in Barcelona. The three hackers in Sri Lanka, and all three are Iranians who have emigrated to Spain.


    Although in the interrogation video released by the federal government, the three people denied any connection with the Iranian government, but in this case, they admit that it will make people feel ghostly, otherwise it would be a normal behavior.


    The exact news that Ryan got was that this was not a scapegoat brought by the federal government. It was indeed the culprit of the hacker attack. As for whether it was self-issued or received the support of the Iranian government, it does not matter.


    Ryan will not consider whether the Iranian government is behind the scenes, Miramax will not consider it, and Hollywood will not consider it. The public and the federal government in the United States have agreed not to consider it. The Iranian government is the only culprit. Come back.


    "We have confirmed that the manipulator behind this large-scale, long-term, high-strength hacking operation is the Iranian official!"


    This is what the White House spokesperson said at a regular press conference, ¡°The White House is also currently discussing whether to publicly condemn the Iranian government for this incident, and how to respond to Iran¡¯s attacks, and consider relisting Iran as a supporter of terrorism. In the list of socialism."


    The White House''s remarks have been supported by the mainstream media. This is even the most praised George Bush administration by the media in recent years.


    The four major U.S. theater chains¡ªEmperor Entertainment Group, Entertainment Group, Ximanke Studios, and Carmack Cinema¡ªalso announced that they will restart the release plan of "I Grew Up in Iran" in support of freedom of speech in the United States. .


    But whether it is done by itself or not, the Iranian government will definitely deny it.


    "The hacker is not officially assigned by Iran." They also pointed out, "No matter who did this, Iran praises you as a heroic hero!"


    Ahmadinejad also appointed a spokesperson to publicly state that he would resolutely respond to any retaliatory actions by the United States, and would launch a super-hard-line battle against the White House, the Pentagon and Hollywood! Jews represented by Ryan Jenkins and their works are forever prohibited from entering Iran!


    As Ryan said, it doesn''t matter whether it is the Iranian government or not, there must be enough people or countries to pay for this incident.


    Hollywood is once again united under the banner of freedom.


    "It''s hard to believe that a country threatens freedom of speech in the United States!"


    This is what Steven Spielberg said in an interview. He made it clear that he would attend the premiere of "I grew up in Iran."


    "The actions of the Iranian government are disgraceful, and Hollywood will not accept their threats."


    Although Frank Pearson, the current chairman of the college, will not attend the premiere, he has expressed his support for Miramax.


    "Ryan and Miramax let us see the brave and strong side of Hollywood. We will adhere to the Hollywood tradition of free creation, and cowardice does not belong to the Americans."


    The Jewish people in Hollywood don''t hesitate to support their own , saying that if necessary, they will appear at the premiere.


    As the most representative Jewish descent of the new generation in Hollywood, Natalie has also made a sound on her blog and Facebook at the right time-terrorism will never erode our creative soul!


    To this day, Iran has been obsessed with destroying Israel, including high-ranking officials including Ahmadinejad. It is public that the Holocaust has occurred several times. Even without this hacking incident, Iran can still be marked by the Jewish forces in Hollywood. Return to the ranks of the enemy.


    It can be said that after several disputes of public opinion, in the hearts of most Americans, Iran has become a terrorist country that surpasses North Korea.


    This hacking incident has pointed to the Jewish forces in Hollywood several times, and Hollywood, which is deeply influenced by the Jewish people, will definitely give the biggest counterattack. In addition to movies, the world''s influential Oscars is a very good venue for counterattack.


    In other words, the Jewish people who can enter this Oscar will definitely benefit. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 782： Stupid pig from Texas

    A tall plastic model is holding a dark men¡¯s dress. Charlize took a few careful glances, pulled the falling blond hair behind his head, took a bow tie and tried the matching effect, shook his head, and pulled it back. A tie.


    "Is it confirmed that the Iranian government did it?" she asked without looking back.


    "It can be confirmed."


    Standing behind Charlize, Ryan folded her arms and watched her carefully arrange her dress for herself. "The source of funds in the accounts of the three hackers all points to Iran, but it is a civil organization. Honey, you know..."


    Charlize turned around, kissed him, and walked to the place where the bow tie was hung in the studio. Ryan looked at her beautiful back and continued, ¡°The Iranian government is not a fool. Excuses are enough for them to explain to the international community."


    "But so their international reputation..."


    While talking, Charlize shook his head and walked back, "I forgot. I was hit by public opinion twice in a row. Iran has no international image for a long time, and they don''t care about the image of the country in the eyes of Western society."


    "Hey, my dear." Ryan opened his hand to her, "This is the spontaneous behavior of the national media, and it has nothing to do with me."


    "Okay, okay." Charlize shrugged, and deliberately squeezed Ryan''s chin as he passed by, "My boyfriend is a pure, kind, and good person..."


    Before she finished speaking, she couldn''t help but laugh.


    "I just followed the trend and pushed a little bit in it."


    When Charlize turned to the plastic model, Ryan slapped her straight buttocks, "The real culprit in smearing Iran is the federal government, not us."


    "The federal government is the biggest scapegoat in America." Charlize muttered, then looked at his watch, "Isn''t George Bush going to speak? Time is almost up."


    With a gesture to Charlize for a while, Ryan walked to the rest table and took the remote control. Turn on the LCD TV placed on the wall and switch to cnn, and the White House press conference is about to begin.


    After the FBI published a series of evidence that the hacker accounts are connected to Iran, an anti-Iran movement has risen across the United States. There have been large-scale''support for freedom of speech and against terrorist threats'' in New York, Los Angeles and Washington. During the demonstrations, the media verbally criticized the Iranian government, which further stirred up anti-Iranian sentiments among the people.


    Fortunately, the pains of the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War are in sight, and the voice of launching a war against Iran is not strong.


    Ryan will never admit that he is using the media to provoke a nationwide public hostility toward Iran.


    Before the hacker was arrested, the biggest victim was Miramax. As major shareholders, he and Nicole have lost up to 200 million U.S. dollars on the stock market and future film projects. No capital controller will turn a blind eye to this figure. Those who harm the interests of capital must pay the corresponding price. It''s the simplest truth.


    Iran is far in the Middle East, and Ryan cannot directly harm a country. To further promote the hostility of the Western people towards Iran is the best way to counterattack. This will also arouse many people¡¯s concerns about "I Grew up in Iran" and "A Farewell". "interest of. So as to recover part of the loss.


    Of course, it is also a normal practice to unite with other groups with significant interests in the Middle East to promote the federal government to initiate a new round of sanctions against Iran.


    "The government still supports and approves the release of films such as "I Grew Up in Iran" and "A Farewell" by Miramax Films."


    On the TV screen. George Bush personally expressed the views of the Washington authorities on the Miramax incident into the microphone, "The United States strongly supports these filmmakers and film production companies, as well as their free beliefs. We believe in this form of artistic expression. It is commendable. You should not surrender to intimidation and threats just because it touches the opinions and ideas of some people."


    The president who was dubbed a pig''s head. Directly elevating the Miramax incident to a serious national security issue, "Iran attacked American companies with the intention of causing destructive effects. It also threatened American artists and other individuals with the intention of restricting their right to free expression. The U.S. takes this seriously. It will impose sanctions on individuals and entities related to the Iranian government."


    In addition, the federal government will push allies to join the sanctions, and even promote trade sanctions and arms embargoes in the United Nations and the Security Council.


    Perhaps Iran will not be reduced to the level of Iraq at that time, but the future will definitely not be better.


    As a gunpowder keg that explodes at one point, the Iranian government has also issued a corresponding statement before-George Bush is a stupid pig from Texas!


    "It seems there is nothing wrong with us now."


    Turn off the TV, Ryan walked to the rest table, helped Charlize a cup of tea, brought it back and handed it to her, and said, "We can watch the federal government and the Iranian government spray each other."


    "War will not really break out, will it?" Charlize asked with some worry after taking a sip of his tea.


    "Hard to say."


    Iran has completely jumped out of the trajectory of the previous life. Now quite a few people in the United States have been provoked by him and the Jewish forces that control the media to be extremely hostile to Iran, and those arms and energy complexes have long regarded Iran as a thorn in the flesh. It is difficult to say that they will not be in the next few years. What happened.


    The fuse of the Third World War? It doesn''t seem to be that serious.


    While Ryan was thinking about it, Charlize said with some worry, "Is this unfair to the Iranians?"


    "Dear."


    Reaching out and squeezing Charlize''s nose, Ryan smiled, "If war really breaks out, we can set up a relief fund."


    After sighing, Charlize didn''t say anything anymore. She was very clear. It seemed that there was nothing on the surface. In fact, Ryan''s heart had been on fire. This kind of huge loss would be replaced by no one with a generous smile.


    She didn''t even doubt that if possible, Ryan would throw all the high-ranking Iranian conservative officials into the bottom of the sea to feed fish.


    After packing Ryan''s dress, Charlize found his own, which was the little dark dress of ct Nature Treasures. Of course, she had to attend the premiere.


    "You want to go too?" Ryan frowned.


    To be honest, he is somewhat worried. Who knows if the Iranians will rush over the wall? He can take risks, but he doesn''t want to watch them take risks.


    "Of course." Charlize didn''t give him a chance to refute at all. "I talk to them on the phone and we will all go."


    "You?" Ryan''s brow furrowed tighter.


    "Don''t forget..." Charlize turned around and concentrated on tidying up the dress, "We are in the same brokerage company, and sometimes we can exchange news."


    Iran has now become a topic that cannot be skipped.


    In several consecutive public opinion conflicts, Ryan has no doubt that he was on the blacklist of the Iranian government. Unlike the previous few times, the Iranian government has caused him a certain loss. The hostile relationship between the two parties has been unable to change, unless Iran Ren is willing to open the market to Walt Disney, otherwise he will unswervingly continue to promote smearing actions.


    But it is obviously impossible to expect Iran to open its cultural market.


    On October 11, the focus of the United States was on the Nokia Plaza in Los Angeles. Tens of thousands of American citizens holding the flag of freedom spontaneously gathered in and around the square to support the sacred and inviolable freedom of speech in their hearts with the most practical actions.


    Although "I Grew Up in Iran" was only a small production with an investment of 10 million US dollars, although many people declined the premiere invitation because of concerns about safety, although the Iranian government continued to issue various protests, it was difficult to prevent Hollywood and the American public from opposing The enthusiasm for this premiere.


    Harrison Ford, George Lucas, Steven Soderberg and Steven Spielberg and many other Jewish people all appeared at the premiere. This can be called a Hollywood Jewish gathering. .


    Even the Coen brothers, who are not very close to Hollywood, also took to the red carpet.


    In addition, Jewish executives from major Hollywood studios and distribution companies, and senior Jewish members of the Academy, also appeared at the premiere.


    To put it in exaggeration, if the Iranians successfully launch a terrorist attack and destroy the Nokia Theater, they will surely wipe out more than half of the Jewish forces in Hollywood.


    The security work for this premiere was the top priority. Not only did we hire a special security company to take charge of the periphery, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security also guarded the inner circle closely, and all nearby buildings were staffed.


    "I said, you don''t need to come over."


    Walking into the theater, after socializing, Ryan deliberately walked into a circle of several women, "You shouldn''t take risks."


    "This is my choice." Nicole only dropped such a sentence.


    "You are going to be unlucky."


    Scarlett, who was standing next to Taylor, winked at him, "If it weren''t for Alison and I, they would have quarreled."


    "Really?" Ryan looked at Tyler.


    "It''s just the same." Taylor snarled at this side, "I''m here, don''t worry."


    After saying a few words, Ryan started to greet the people who came over again. Whether these people are because of ethnicity or not, they can come here because of his supportCompared to Nicole and Charlie Now, Natalie relies on her own advantages to be a fish in the water among these people. Some even faintly said that in the future Oscar selection, she will be given priority. There are a few people who can have something to do with her grandmother Portman family. The words also revealed the meaning of helping her lobby the judges.


    This world is so unfair. Even in a disputed vanity fair like Hollywood, some people are born with more resources.


    Ryan knows this. Natalie needs an excellent work, and with the support of his public relations and Hollywood Jewish forces, everything will come naturally.


    In her previous life, she won the nomination for best actress for the first time and won the Little Golden Man, which illustrates this point.


    And there are too many examples like Hollywood, the most typical one is the previous life of Adrian Brody, who can explode the biggest Oscar in history without being favored by everyone, as well as the disadvantages of fame and the first nomination. One of the unpopular ones has a great relationship with his ethnicity. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 783： Unite other forces

    This incident will inevitably bring about a series of impacts. Some impacts will take a long time to appear, and some impacts will reveal clues.


    The Jewish forces in Hollywood are united again, just like Spielberg''s "Schindler''s List" was treated at the beginning. Next year''s Oscar will definitely make a strong call.


    No one can guarantee that one person will win the Oscar statuette, but Natalie is definitely in the leading position, even if the film that will become the opponent has not yet been released.


    If Ryan¡¯s public relations is a layer of insurance, then Natalie already has double insurance. If the Coen brothers are also Jewish, Ryan might consider giving up the best actress and hitting the best director. .


    Under strict protection, there were no accidents at the premiere. Amidst the protests of Iranians, the film was not only released in North America, but also appeared in other countries with English-speaking friends.


    As for the film itself, there is nothing to say. Just look at the reaction of the Iranian government to understand what kind of film it is.


    The Iranian government is condemning that the Iranian government wants to ban the screening, the Iranian government wants to counter Hollywood, and the Iranian government interferes in the freedom of speech in the United States...


    This is Harvey Weinstein''s propaganda strategy for the film. The Iranian government must be dragged down and stepped on.


    Even though there are so many disputes surrounding this film, the inherent weakness of "I Grow Up in Iran" is very obvious. It is not easy for a film that reflects foreign culture to succeed in North America, even if many people clamor for the release of this film. , It is just to maintain the concept of freedom of speech in the heart, and may not buy tickets to enter the theater.


    Today''s radically intensified US-Iranian relationship is undoubtedly the biggest selling point of the film, and it is also one of the few places that can attract the North American public into theaters.


    More than 1,600 theaters in the first week. The box office of 21.21 million US dollars can be said to be the biggest limit of this niche film, in addition to allowing Disney Pictures and Miramax''s many investors and distributors to recover costs. The biggest advantage is that it will be released with the film. Miramax''s stock price, which has been declining, temporarily stabilized and began to climb slowly.


    Even after launching such a mighty public opinion war, Ryan and Nicole¡¯s $200 million loss cannot be recovered in a short period of time. Miramax can also be regarded as a serious injury. If it were not for Disney as a backer, It''s not that Ryan''s foundation provided low-interest loans. The Weinstein brothers are bound to make a big deal.


    In particular, "The Torture Room", whose script was exposed by hackers, suffered a huge box office setback after it was released on Halloween.


    The film opened in North America with 2,765 theater chains, and only received US$11.59 million in the first week. The production cost of the film was as high as US$65 million. If the subsequent DVD video tape market does not perform well, the two representative figures of niche cult films Quentin Tasino and Robert Rodriguez will meet the most painful failure since their debut.


    By the second week, the box office of "The Punishment Room" plummeted to more than 4.6 million U.S. dollars. According to the estimates of Ryan and Miramax, the North American box office of this film was at most more than 20 million U.S. dollars.


    Want to recoup the investment is nowhere in sight.


    Compared to the North American box office of nearly $50 million earned by "I Grow Up in Iran". "Xing Fang" has undoubtedly demonstrated the negative impact of the hacking incident. Miramax''s stock price has fallen again, making Ryan and other shareholders hate Iran even more.


    If it is said that Iran was only used to promote the film. After the Iranians moved his cake, Ryan already had a reason to be hostile to Iran.


    Perhaps the source of this dispute comes from "Argo", but for capital and business groups, these are not important. The other party has actually harmed their interests. This is the first thing to consider.


    "I want to overthrow the Iranian government and get rid of those ayatollahs!"


    It seems that the game character controlled by Ryan is regarded as an Iranian, and Taylor flexibly presses the handle to complete the ¡®¡¯ in a few clicks. "I want to throw Ahmadinejad into the Persian Gulf to feed the fish!"


    "What happened?" The door was pushed open from the outside, and Nicole hugged Sandy into the entertainment room. "Alison, did the Hollywood Record Company hold back your share?"


    "No." Taylor dropped the gamepad. He got up and ran to take Sandy and kissed the little guy on the cheek. Then he said, "Last year, Dad transferred his shares in Miramax to my name. This time I also lost. heavy¡­¡­"


    "Sanny..." She touched Sandy''s forehead, "I''m going bankrupt, and you won''t have money to buy you candy when you grow up."


    "sister."


    The little guy grabbed her long platinum hair, and Grid smiled, "Ty...Le."


    "Oh wow..." Tyler shook off Sandy''s little hand and hugged her in a circle. "You are getting smarter and smarter."


    "As long as a few more movies succeed."


    Turning off the game console, Ryan walked over, "Miramax''s stock price will rise back soon, and..."


    Putting a finger up, Ryan solemnly warned Taylor, "No matter how you hate the Iranian government, don''t talk about what you just said in public. You are a public figure!"


    "I understand." Taylor nodded, "I am not a fool like Lindsay Lohan."


    Holding Sandy to the thick carpet, Taylor put her in a pile of baby toys and sat cross-legged next to her.


    Ryan and Nicole also walked over, and Sandy was their center.


    "I heard that all the arms and energy complexes want to do something against Iran."


    As soon as Ryan sat down, Taylor talked about the previous topic again, full of gossip, "If they want to push the federal government to launch a new strike, they will definitely need the cooperation of the media. Ryan, you really don¡¯t plan to unite with others. Power, get rid of this nasty Iranian government?"


    "My dear." Ryan rolled his eyes helplessly, "You think too much, that''s a country! We are just a media group."


    "Well..." Tyler stuck out his tongue at Sandy, "Sanny, what should we do if we don''t have money to buy toys in the future?"


    "father."


    I don¡¯t know if the little guy did not understand, he stretched out a little finger to Ryan, ¡°Dad...Dad.


    "Our angel obviously knows who is the richest." Nicole clapped her hands, and Sandy crawled up to her, "Mum...mi."


    Of course this is a joke, not to mention Scott Swift and the trust fund set up for Taylor by him and Nicole. In this year¡¯s US tour alone, Taylor earned more than $50 million, even if he had to pay taxes and expenses. Other brokerage public relations expenses, that is also a veritable little rich woman.


    "When will my movie be released?" Taylor asked suddenly, "Is it really going to the theater?"


    "Disney Pictures is editing." Ryan thought for a while and said, "I think it''s more appropriate to release DVD discs. Don''t enter theaters. Otherwise, the meaning of making money is too obvious. It is also an overdraft for fans, and it is not for your future. There is no benefit."


    If Taylor were other Disney idol stars, Ryan would definitely release a film similar to "This Is It" in the previous life, but for a growing pop singer, such a film would not benefit much from entering the theater, and would only overspend the future.


    Besides, they are not short of money.


    "Then leave it to Disney to run it."


    Taylor gave a strange cry and plunged into the pile of toys, causing Sandigger to laugh.


    Time slowly moved into November. When "I grew up in Iran" was released for a month, the North American box office slowly climbed to 80 million US dollars. If nothing else, with the help of the free speech wave set off by the Miramax incident , The North American box office of this film is very likely to exceed 100 million U.S. dollars in the end.


    As the issuer, Miramax¡¯s stock price has completely stabilized, but it is easy for the stock to fall down, but difficult to rise. Miramax¡¯s market value has shrunk by a full 15% compared to before the hacking incident.


    Another film in the incident, "A Farewell", also began to be screened in North America on a small scale in order to obtain Oscar tickets. How to operate an award-winning film, the Weinstein brothers have sufficient ability and experience.


    This film, like "I grew up in Iran", has received unanimous praise from the mainstream media in North America. In their propaganda and hype, the two films are definitely works of conscience and morality that reflect the reality of Iran. In other words , Just to understand the status quo of Iranian society, then look at "I Grew Up in Iran" and "A Parting".


    On the other hand, the situation in the Persian Gulf is extremely tense. Although the U.S. Navy has not dispatched an aircraft carrier formation, it has several warships on frequent patrols. It is said that there have been several occasions to greet the Iranian Navy almost face to face...


    If it were not for the problems of Afghanistan and Iraq, the federal government might really have to do something against Iran.


    As for Iran, in addition to tough responses, it continues to clamor for the elimination of Jewish forces in Hollywood and the elimination of Zionist organizations.


    The louder this voice the Jewish forces in Hollywood will unite, and the greater the chances of "I Grew Up in Iran" and "A Farewell" to win Oscars.


    Similarly, Natalie, who is a standard Jew, will definitely benefit from it.


    Although there is still some time before the awards season, Ryan has received a lot of feedback, except for the votes that public relations can get, most of the Jewish judges faintly said that Natalie will be the first choice for the best actress of this year''s Oscar.


    For those female stars who have worked hard in Hollywood for many years, this seems very unfair, but there is no fairness in this world.


    Also, Natalie didn¡¯t say, but Ryan knew something. Mrs. Shelley came to Los Angeles from New York for her daughter. Although the Herschel family was just a standard Jewish middle class, many Jews from Europe were born in Europe. No one can tell what kind of connection exists between the ancestors.


    These are all personal connections. Now that Natalie has a bright enough role and resume, external factors are bound to play an important role. (To be continued)

 Chapter 784： The evil taste of explosive shells

    The stones fell like a downpour. An ugly and evil huge robot climbed up the pyramid and opened its jagged mouth like a whale sucking water. It sucked a lot of stones into its mouth and then from behind its ass. Pulled out, almost instantly destroyed the spire of the pyramid.


    In front of the monitor, Ryan, Michael Bay and others sat in chairs, watching the special effects scene produced by Industrial Light and Magic carefully.


    This is a special effect that has been completed in "Transformers 2", in which you can clearly see the progress of Industrial Light and Magic technology, and the picture is more real and smooth than the previous one.


    "Good job." Ryan nodded his chin in agreement, then tilted his head, pointing to the Hercules on the screen and asked, "Michael, can you tell me why there is a pair of iron hanging between Hercules''s legs. ball?"


    "You know, Ryan." Michael Betty didn''t think anything, and said frankly, "The addition of Arcie in the second part shows that Transformers are also gender-specific..."


    "This is the sign used to distinguish between genders?"


    Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Ryan said helplessly, "So this is the **** of Hercules."


    "Why didn''t they distinguish between Optimus Prime in the first movie?" he asked again.


    "Actually..." Michael Bay pointed out directly, "Ryan, if you look closely, they are still sexual."


    Ryan couldn''t help having a toothache when he heard the explosion. He really didn''t pay attention to it. It seems that most of the fans did not pay attention, otherwise he and Michael Bay would definitely be drowned in the powdered saliva of the iron rod.


    Ryan didn''t mean to interfere. Starting from the second part, he completely threw this series to the Autobot studio and Michael Bay. The box office of this special effects movie that has assembled a large number of fans is not a problem in the short term. Anyway, the selling point of the film is not the plot logic and connotation.


    Special effects films become the mainstream movies in theaters, not only the needs of the audience, but also inseparable from external conditions.


    Nowadays, the window period for a film to enter home entertainment from its release to home entertainment is getting shorter and shorter, and the Internet and DVD players are becoming more popular. It also allows viewers to have more channels for watching movies, especially the larger and larger TV sets at home, which can partially replace the big screen to a certain extent, and the comfort of watching movies at home is much better than that of theaters. .


    However, there is a kind of film that cannot be replaced by home entertainment for the time being, that is, the film with special effects as its biggest selling point. Nowadays, home entertainment cannot perfectly present the special effects of the big screen.


    Of course, this is only an external reason. The main reason is that the teenagers mainly like this kind of film. These people are different from their parents. They rarely pay attention to the connotation and other vague things when watching movies. What they want to watch is to be refreshed.


    Hollywood blockbusters can sweep the world, which means that they have firmly grasped this part of the mainstream audience.


    From the population of Industrial Light and Magic in charge of this project, Ryan learned that the pair of iron **** was completely the idea of ??Michael Bay, and even the entire Hercules was designed according to his requirements. Is this the evil taste of Boom Bay, then he I can''t guess.


    Later, Ryan met here again with the liaison officer stationed by the Pentagon on the crew, and the Department of Defense''s performance of the US military in the film. Although it is not very satisfactory, it is acceptable. According to the film''s settings, the US military still killed many Decepticons. Even if it is a weak Decepticon bred by Starscream, it is an alien, isn''t it?


    "Ryan."


    Walking out of Industrial Light and Magic''s drawing room, Michael Bay asked very seriously, "You really plan to give up playing the third part."


    "Yes. Michael."


    Nodded, Ryan made a gesture that you understand to him, "Take me and the Avengers. I will also collaborate with Miss Portman on a new work. I also prepared a magical masterpiece for myself... "


    "I hope the fans will not give up this series." Michael Bay is still a little worried.


    "Transformers were the biggest selling point just now, wasn''t it?" Ryan didn''t worry at all, and Boomba turned into the cafe inside Industrial Light and Magic, found a place to sit down at random, and continued, "You can let Michaela Or if other people continue to play the leading role, the reason for Sam''s disappearance is also easy to explain. Concentrate on finishing college, get kicked by Michaela, or die directly."


    "Leave these to the screenwriter to get a headache." The biggest feature of Michael Bay is that he rarely participates in the screenwriting.


    Ryan believes that as long as Optimus Prime is still there, the film will definitely not have a huge impact on the box office due to the replacement of the protagonist. In this type of film, the protagonist is actually more like a symbol, and the weight is far less important than Optimus Prime. Most of the promises to Michael Bay are still the few feelings left in the previous life.


    This time I came to Industrial Light and Magic, Ryan did not meet George Lucas. Together with Spielberg¡¯s crew, he went out to shoot "Indiana Jones 4". Unlike the Transformers series, this series strives to restore it. The original taste and special effects are more dependent on props than on props.


    However, the screenwriter of the film is George Lucas...


    Well, George Lucas still has considerable skill in big settings, just don''t involve detailed emotional scenes.


    Until now, Anakin Skywalker and Padm¨¦ Amidala are still the negative examples of the classic couples in the film. The **** love is due to the lack of innate settings, even Ryan and Natalie. The interpretation still makes people unable to look directly at it.


    As for the entire Lucasfilm industry, Disney is still digesting the DreamWorks Animation Studios. When the time is right, Ryan will let people or even personally test George Lucas'' attitude.


    Of course, there are many shareholders of Lucasfilm.


    Like all major Hollywood studios, Lucasfilm¡¯s shareholding composition is also very complicated, and even George Lucas himself is not the largest shareholder.


    Leaving San Francisco where Industrial Light and Magic is located, Ryan did not follow Michael Bay to the''Autobot'' studio. Now the entire "Transformers" series is completely on the right track, although with the first movie¡¯s release time dragged on, revenue figures It has been declining, but the film can bring Disney about $20 million in revenue every month. After the second film is released, it will definitely set off another peak in revenue.


    Not to mention other things, Ryan alone, "Transformers" brought him close to 100 million U.S. dollars in salary and revenue.


    Ryan returned from San Francisco to Los Angeles. It was already in the afternoon. Ryan went directly to a high-end restaurant near Century City. He and Peter Jackson made an appointment for dinner here.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    "Hi, Peter."


    Shaking hands, a few people sat in the seats near the window, and Ryan gestured to the menu, "Congratulations, you succeeded in losing weight."


    "You don''t know how hard this is." Peter Jackson only ordered a few vegetarian dishes. "I haven''t eaten meat for half a year."


    Random ordering a few, Ryan closed the menu, said thank you to the waiter, turned his head, and said to Peter Jackson, "Do you want to play Gollum?"


    "That would be better than killing me."


    Although there have not been many contacts in recent years, the friendship established during the filming of "The Lord of the Rings" is still there, and the two people''s words are also very casual. As for the agent of Caa who accompanied Peter Jackson, Ryan is just a polite point. He stopped and didn''t say much to him.


    Caa occupies half of the Hollywood market, but it is not dominating it. This is not Hollywood and Caa when Michael Ovitz was headed. They have long lost their active position in front of the six major companies, and Disney is notoriously not cooperating with Caa. Most of the actors used by Disney come from the kk agency, which is not a secret in Hollywood.


    This is a business meeting, and the meal is just a formality. Ryan''s few people tasted the restaurant''s dishes, then put down their knives and forks.


    "Peter, are there any plans for filming recently?"


    Without any politeness, Ryan went directly to the topic, "I remember you took a long vacation."


    "I made a round-the-world trip with my family." Peter Jackson also understood that Ryan must not find himself for dinner.


    "Are you interested in continuing to work together?" Ryan turned the coffee cup in his hand, "Disney is ready to begin preparations for The Hobbit."


    "This..." Peter Jackson looked at his agent, seemingly embarrassed, "I still have a new film ready to shoot, and it needs time to consider, Ryan, look..."


    "It''s okay." Ryan only revealed what he meant. Peter Jackson is the first candidate, but not the only candidate. "You have plenty of time to think about it, but I hope to get good news."


    "If I make a decision." Peter Jackson said very seriously, "I will definitely notify you as soon as possible."


    At this point, Ryan put aside, Peter Jackson is the guarantee of this series, not indispensable, this is Hollywood, there are countless talented people waiting for opportunities.


    He changed the topic, UU reading www. uukanshu.com chatted with Peter Jackson about the scenery of New Zealand, which really left a deep impression on him, and it was also the place to make love with Charlize Theron.


    The dinner lasted less than an hour before it was over. He refused the invitation of the caa agent¡¯s party. Ryan took the car and left downtown Los Angeles. Peter Jackson might refuse, but he was not worried. The Hobbit was just Long-term planning is not in a hurry to establish projects.


    Also, "King Kong" has dispelled a lot of his aura. When the next film is frustrated, this New Zealand director will want to understand that leaving Tolkien''s works, he is just a very ordinary one of the first-line Hollywood directors. Member, not the super director after "Lord of the Rings."


    Originally, Ryan wanted to go to North Hollywood, but thought of Mrs. Shelly, who looked like a knife, and had to dispel the idea.


    Because of him, the relationship between Natalie and her parents is not very good. Presumably Mrs. Shelly will not say his kind words in front of Natalie. Judging from the meaning of Natalie''s disclosure on the phone, she may use her thoughts. It is more appropriate to dismantle them. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 785： Privilege belongs to Jews only

    After finishing her daily exercise routine every morning, Natalie went back to the room to take a shower, changed into her formal clothes and walked down the stairs. Just approaching the dining room, she smelled a strange and familiar smell. It was the smell of breakfast made by her mother. When she moved to Los Angeles, she almost forgot the smell.


    Thinking of last night''s phone call, her brows frowned slightly, she shook her head and smiled, and sat at the dining table as if she had not grown up, waiting for her mother to deliver breakfast.


    "Honey." Mrs. Shelly walked into the dining room from the kitchen and placed a tray in front of Natalie. "I hope you like it."


    "mom."


    After serving the steaming oatmeal, Natalie looked at her mother, "Thank you, I haven''t felt this way for a long time."


    Picking up the spoon and stirring it a few times in the bowl, Natalie heard her mother say again, "As long as you like, I can come anytime."


    The porridge stirring stopped for a while, and Natalie blinked, "Of course, Mom."


    As in the past, Natalie didn''t eat much. After drinking this small bowl of cereal, she put down the spoon, and when her mother finished eating, she took the initiative to clean up the table.


    After doing all this, Natalie walked slowly along the path in the garden under the suggestion of Mrs. Shelly out of the villa. There is no important work today, and she can stay at home.


    Los Angeles in December didn''t feel the cold at all, the bright sunshine shining in the garden, reflecting the figure of the mother and daughter, looked unusually warm.


    With her arms folded gently, Natalie is like a teenager, following in the footsteps of her mother. It is difficult to have such a peaceful moment in Hollywood, where disputes are constant, especially recently, for With the awards season gradually kicking off, her life is full of hustle and bustle.


    Although I understand that Oscar''s best actress is very likely to be held by myself. Natalie did not relax at all. She did not want any accidents at critical moments. In addition to participating in the various public relations activities that Ryan prepared for her these days, she also took advantage of her identity to contact her mother who can connect with her. .


    Most people are very polite to her, and the dark side of the rumors has not been seen. She understands why all this is. This is an extremely realistic circle. Even if the judges do not choose her, they will not risk offending Rui. Yep.


    Thinking of Ryan. Natalie has a headache, her mother''s attitude towards Ryan...


    "Nate..."


    Mother''s words interrupted her thoughts, and Natalie looked over, "What? Mom?"


    "According to the analysis, how likely are you to get the best actress?"


    After hearing the question of concern, Natalie said seriously, "According to the analysis of the public relations team, my current probability is more than 70%. The biggest competitor is Australian actor Cate Blanchett. But now situation¡­¡­"


    She made a gesture that you understand.


    "If you get the Oscar for Best Actress." Mrs. Shelly took Natalie and sat on the bench in the garden, "Will you move back to New York? It doesn''t have to be Long Island, but it can be in the Upper East Side or Upper West Side. This way your father and I can visit you at any time."


    "Mom..." Natalie hesitated a bit. Still said, "I like the weather in Los Angeles."


    "Nate!" Mrs. Shelly''s tone increased, "Why do you have to stay with him? You will be the Oscar queen next year, and we are Jewish. We can get the best resources, and others will have to pay to break the head. It doesn¡¯t take much effort for you to grab something..."


    "Mom!" Natalie interrupted her mother. "Please stop talking."


    "Do you think what I said is wrong?"


    Natalie did not answer. It is no secret that many of Hollywood''s privileges belong only to Jews.


    "Sorry, Mom." She stood up and walked towards the villa. "I won''t move back to New York. I''m going to read the script."


    "Nate..." Mrs. Shelly also stood up, "Do you know a lot of people are talking about you?"


    "I..." Natalie''s figure paused briefly, "I don''t care, this is Hollywood!"


    Don''t you really care? How is that possible.


    Back in the study, Natalie forced herself not to think about it, and focused her energy on this script that reflects the experience of the US military in Iraq.


    In the living room downstairs, Mrs. Shelly was flipping through the newspaper. The focus of attention was naturally on the entertainment version. It is still far from the Oscars ceremony in February next year. Even the nomination list has not come out, but in the media¡¯s predictions, Natalie is undoubtedly the biggest favorite.


    In some recent small awards, she completely overwhelmed Cate Blanchett and swept a series of best actress awards.


    Gradually, Mrs. Shelly turned her attention to related information about Disney. Although she was very unwilling, she even hated the thin boy of the year, so that she once had the idea of ??stabbing news like Sandy Jenkins to the media. , But finally endured it, which would not do any good for her daughter.


    As in the past, there is almost all good news about Disney. Pixar Studios¡¯ Ratatouille is a big hit, and ¡°National Treasure 2¡± has a very poor reputation at the box office. The Harry Potter series has once again been a success...


    Even someone who is hostile to the other party, she has to admit that the thin boy at the beginning has become a figure in the United States and one of the top giants in Hollywood. No one wants to offend this kind of person, no one wants to do nothing for no reason. It is completely opposite to Disney.


    How can we get Nat to leave him?


    This is a question that Mrs. Shelly has been considering, after all, they only have this daughter.


    At the same time, Ryan was sitting in the conference room of the Pixar studio, attending the high-level meeting of the Pixar studio with John Lasseter and Ed Kamel.


    Although "Ratuitouille" released on Thanksgiving Day won more than 150 million US dollars in the North American box office in 20 days, it fell below the Disney and Pixar''s from the opening results to the first week''s box office to the weekly decline. It is estimated that the trend of the North American box office will be lower than that of "Cars."


    In particular, as a competitor in the same period, Twentieth Century Fox¡¯s "Alwyn and the Chipmunk" has always overwhelmed the "Ratatato King" in the North American market. If it were not for the latter¡¯s overseas box office to far exceed the former, I¡¯m afraid There has long been an uproar within Pixar.


    Even so, Pixar Studios really felt the pressure of competition for the first time after "Toy Story".


    "I don''t know if you have noticed."


    In fact, there are some problems that Ryan has been aware of for a long time, but speaking out against the background of Pixar''s continuous success, it will only be counterproductive. "Pixar has always emphasized the audience first, but now it is losing this concept. All of you here are Pixar''s. Elder, do you remember the situation when we made "Toy Story"?"


    Without waiting for Brad Bird, Andrew Stanton and others to answer, Ryan continued, ¡°While telling good stories, we also did a lot of market investigations. In the future, "Bug Crisis" and "Toy Story" 2" and "Looking for Nemo" are not the case."


    "But now?" He shook his head. "Pixar is just sticking to the tradition of telling good stories."


    "We are not neglecting market research."


    The cold reception of Ratatouille in North America also awakened the arrogant Pixar executives a lot, "but not paying attention to the results of market research. Everyone focused on telling a good story. , But forgot what kind of story the audience needs."


    Pixar in the previous life encountered such a problem, how about the story of "Robot Walli" and "Brave"? It must be very good, but they have encountered cold reception in the market. Compared with the early works of Pixar Studio, the ability to attract gold is greatly reduced.


    "Then "Robot Walle"..." Andrew Stanton hesitated.


    The film has been completed, and the risk will be greater if it is modified.


    Ryan also understands this. He had no objection at the beginning, and he wanted to remind Pixar Studios through the cold reception in the market that we are not invincible, and no one can continue to maintain it despite ignoring the market and talking to ourselves. success.


    "I will remind the Propaganda Department." Ryan rubbed his forehead, "find a solution more in the surrounding area."


    The production cost of "Robot Walli" is as high as 180 million U.S. dollars, and the publicity fee is also 120 million U.S. dollars. What is the global box office of the previous life? It seems to be only about 520 million US dollars.


    If this is not an animated film whose profit depends more on the surroundings, it can really make Pixar and Disney cry.


    This also illustrates another problem from the side. There is no inevitable connection between imdb and professional ratings and the market.


    The sequel animations of previous Pixar studios are constantly coming out because of the nature of commercial groups in pursuit of profit Disney has not put the sequel of this series on the agenda for a long time, which also shows that profitability is not optimistic.


    He is not a pure actor, nor is he a pure producer. Sitting in his current position, the first thing he must consider is the profit prospect of the film. Otherwise, no matter how high the professional rating is, the classic film will be of no use to him.


    Pixar¡¯s management are all smart people. It¡¯s just a continuous cycle of success that makes them gradually rise up and break away from the market¡¯s thinking. Ryan doesn¡¯t need them to change too much. As long as they insist on telling good stories, they continue to resemble the century. As it was at the beginning, it is enough to pay a little attention to the demand of the market.


    Of course, Ryan will also use practical measures to remind them that Disney''s not only Pixar studios produce successful animated feature films.


    Several inspection teams from the Disney Animation Department returned to Los Angeles from Norway and Greenland. The script for the project officially named "Ice Adventure" has been completed and will soon enter the actual operation stage. For the saliva song, he also wrote a little tune and lyrics that he remembered, and threw the rest to Taylor to complete. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 786： Donate wardrobe

    At the end of 2007, bad news about Wall Street began to circulate among the superstructures of North America. The bankruptcy of New Century Financial Corporation last year triggered the vigilance of many people and companies, even though the Federal Reserve and Wall Street kept releasing good news to fool the public. , But Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in trouble, and it¡¯s no secret to Ryan.


    Combined with the impression of not many previous lives, he can roughly judge that the date of the financial crisis is getting closer.


    However, these have nothing to do with Hollywood, at least no impact can be seen now, here is still singing and dancing, and drunken dreams.


    Before the new year, Charlize''s ct brand held a reception at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. A large number of celebrities in the fashion and show business circles attended the ceremony to congratulate them.


    In the past 11 months, ct Nature¡¯s global sales reached US$211 million. Although nearly half of them came from the Disney platform, no one can deny the efforts of South African Diamonds.


    Nowadays, there is a saying in Hollywood that there are many Oscar queens who have won two statuettes, but there is only one Oscar queen who can do business most.


    Familiarly greeted the guests and shook hands with the people who came close from time to time. These basic communication were not difficult for Charlize. Although his face was almost stiff with a smile, he was in a very good mood.


    She is not an idiot. She knows that in the traditional Hollywood circle, it is very likely that Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman will be held down forever. She simply jumped out of this circle and took advantage of Ryan''s huge media resources. And sales network to open up new business.


    The current success also proves how correct her idea is.


    Of course, all this is due to the full support of the people around me.


    "take a break."


    Looking at Ryan, who was standing here with him, Charlize said with concern, "The guests are almost here."


    "Nowhere will I be at peace."


    Ryan turned his head and glanced at the main table where Tyler and Scarlett and other ct shareholders were sitting, almost full of people.


    "Who makes you the most powerful and rich person here."


    Harvey Weinstein who came by did not avoid suspicion at all. Hearing what Ryan and Charlize said clearly, "If I were a woman, believe me, Ryan, I will try my best to get around you."


    "Trust me, Harvey." Ryan deliberately slapped the big fat man''s arm hard, "I have no interest in you."


    With the increase in the box office of several movies and the passage of time, the impact of the Miramax incident is gradually dissipating. Although the loss is huge, unless they can really overthrow the Iranian government. Otherwise, we still have to look forward.


    "Quentin is catching up with the script, it is not convenient to come over." Harvey Weinstein also brought greetings from the genius director, "He is very grateful for your continued support of his new movie."


    "I received his call." Ryan knew that the cult master rarely mingled with the mainstream film industry.


    Sending away Harvey Weinstein, Ryan saw Charlize¡¯s good friends in Hollywood. If Leonardo DiCaprio is developing horizontally, then Keanu Reeves has reached it. His goals, career failures, girlfriend breakups and many other incidents have made the face of the top 20 million club members full of decadence, even if a well-fitting dress can''t hide it.


    "Long time no see. Keanu."


    When he finished greeting Charlize, Ryan shook his hands firmly.


    After shook hands with him, Ryan didn''t say much, the superstar''s fall could not be saved. It may be said that he has a personality in his life, but this is Hollywood that loves the new and dislikes the old. There is not enough exposure and good works, even if Monroe is reborn. It will also lose value soon.


    Pulling off the tail tuxedo, Charlize took Ryan and sat at the main table. The reception was a formal reception. It is also a charitable cocktail party. The target of donations is the poor in Africa. Guests are not forced to donate money, but to donate outdated items such as moldy clothing of the rich and famous.


    After a short meal time, Charlize stepped onto the small stage of the banquet hall and said a few words as the host.


    "I feel very lucky. The success of CT is the result of the joint efforts of me and my partners."


    She introduced ct¡¯s shareholders and operating team one by one, ¡°They are the cornerstone of ct, and I want to thank them for working hard with me.¡±


    Then, she turned the topic to charity, ¡°We always have a lot of out-of-season clothes in our closet, such as my wardrobe. There are always a lot of clothes that I overlooked waiting silently. I am soberly aware that I am a One cannot wear all these clothes."


    "I was born and raised in Africa, so I have the''African factor'' in my body. I feel a little guilty that the clothes in my closet cannot be fully used. My life value has always been''If you have something to use, then you should use it. Give it to those in need''."


    "As we all know, people in many countries and regions in Africa are plagued by hunger and cold. They lack the most basic clothes. So I decided to donate my wardrobe to help those who can help. My friends and I... "


    She gestured to Taylor and Scarlett. "I feel very lucky to be a person who helps others. I hope my wardrobe can bring warmth to those in need. This idea often encourages me."


    "thank you all!"


    Amidst applause, Charlize walked back.


    This kind of donation will be operated through Charlize¡¯s charitable foundation, which can be said to be one of the best ways for celebrities to gain prestige. Just like Ryan¡¯s charity foundation to save African children, Charlize¡¯s foundation¡¯s accounts are also quite Beautiful, even the most critical media can''t find too many faults.


    Those foundations established for tax avoidance and other purposes have never been confused with such foundations that need to make public accounts. Hollywood stars have caused countless troubles due to charitable accounts.


    In other words, it is not a secret in the industry that Hollywood stars use their charitable foundations to accumulate money. They only use a small amount of donation to decorate their appearance. As for the destination of other funds, there are too many places for accounting. .


    In addition, some celebrities publicly announce how much money they will donate. Don''t take it seriously. This money may not arrive until a long time, or it may not be traced ever since.


    For example, when the charity foundation of Ryan was established. Oprah Winfrey publicly stated that he would donate half a million US dollars, but the money has not yet arrived. Ryan is very suspicious. When Sandy can drive a car in Hollywood, the money will not be available. Arrived.


    Ryan would not do such a stale thing, and there are very few Hollywood stars'' charitable funds that can allow him to generously donate.


    It''s one thing that he doesn''t lack money, but it''s another thing that those guys take his donation to be at ease.


    His attitude towards Charlize''s charity fund was of course different. He directly signed a check for five million dollars. Anyway, there was no person of the same level as him in the field. Others don''t need to look at the digital actions he checked out at all.


    "Except for the commemorative clothes from my childhood, all three of my cloakrooms are given to you."


    The people sitting here are close people, and Taylor mumbles, "There is a check for half a million dollars."


    "Our net worth cannot be compared to Ryan." Scarlett was also a check for half a million dollars. "So, Charlie, you have to exploit Ryan more with this kind of thing."


    "When are you going to Africa?" asked Christine Stewart, with long hair, "are you really going to those poor tribes?"


    "Next month." Charlize frowned worriedly when seeing Ryan, and gave him a relieved look. "I will act with the UN refugee agency."


    "That..." Taylor thought for a while, "then I''ll go with you. My public relations manager is also planning a charity show for me, so I might as well go to Africa."


    Follow the UN refugee agency. The possibility of encountering danger is very small, and Ryan has no objection. He thought about it and said, "Alison does not seem to have the title of UN Goodwill Ambassador yet?"


    "My team is working." Taylor finished. Turning to Scarlett, "How about you?"


    "My dear..." Scarlett stretched out her hands helplessly, "My schedule doesn''t allow it."


    "I''m still shooting "Twilight"." Christine also shook his head.


    This kind of time for several people to get together and whisper only lasted a short time. The cocktail party inevitably turned into a social party. Many people came to get close to each other one after another, and even some screenwriters and producers who didn''t know who brought it in, peddled their ideas and projects to him.


    However, most of the people said a few words before being dismissed by Ryan. These people obviously picked the wrong occasion.


    "I''m Jon Lucas..."


    Probably after seeing Ryan wanting to socialize with others, the brown-haired man said quickly, "Three minutes, Ryan, I only ask for three minutes."


    "I remember you." Ryan nodded. "The screenwriter of "Rebounds" released by Disney in 2005."


    "Yes, it''s me."


    Can be remembered by such a big man, Jon Lucas immediately understood that his opportunity was coming, "I have an idea for comedy. Three best men and the bridegroom who are about to be married were drunk in Las Vegas. When I woke up, I found that the bridegroom was missing..."


    Hearing this, Ryan raised his hand and gestured to Charlize. Taylor and the South African Diamond immediately blocked him in tacit understanding, to entertain the others who came over.


    Seeing Ryan do it like thisJon? Lucas doesn¡¯t know that this is his luck. I suppressed the excitement brought by the fast heartbeat, and explained the framework of the script in the most concise language. content.


    This is a comedy that takes place in Las Vegas. The three best men and the bridegroom who is about to be married were drunk at a bachelor party. When they woke up, they found that the bridegroom was missing, so they had to remember last night. All that happens can the groom be retrieved and the wedding can be successfully held.


    Ryan interrupted him only when he heard a tiger appear in the bathroom.


    Jon Lucas''s mood sank to the bottom unconsciously. He had already sold this idea to New Line, but it was rejected. If Ryan is here...


    Hollywood now has a Ryan Jenkins blacklist that specifically records those projects rejected by Ryan, and these projects will hardly attract investment in the future.


    "Tomorrow you go to Disney Pictures to find Ms. Julis Stewart." Ryan turned to look at the tomboy, "Kristen, remember to tell your mother." (To be continued...)

 Chapter 787： Screenwriter strike

    If I remember correctly, what Jon Lucas said is "The Hangover". This typical **** comedy is still very marketable in North America. Since I have encountered it, Ryan will definitely not miss it, just let What he didn''t expect was that Jon Lucas had been to Disney Pictures and after signing the letter of intent for cooperation, the project had to be temporarily suspended. &..


    The reason is simple. As a member of the Screenwriters Guild, Jon Lucas wants to respond to the call of the Screenwriters Guild to strike.


    The largest screenwriter strike since 1988, inevitably broke out.


    In fact, since the 5th of last month, hundreds of screenwriters association members have gathered around major film and television companies to hold protests. They held up slogans to improve their treatment, and from time to time they shouted "Close! Hollywood is the world of trade unions." !" Waiting for the slogan.


    The parade of these people in front of the headquarters of famous film and television companies such as Paramount, Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox continued until this month.


    Screenwriters have a low status in Hollywood. Compared with other associations, the income is lower. Except for a few gold medal screenwriters, most screenwriters cannot enjoy the movie''s DVD and other revenue sharing.


    The uneven distribution of benefits can be said to be the biggest reason for the strike.


    According to the last agreement reached between the Screenwriters Association and the Producers Alliance, the six major film companies pay a minimum of $106,000 for original scripts, and the major TV networks offer TV scripts at a price of approximately-prime time comedy 2.1 Ten thousand U.S. dollars, 31,000 U.S. dollars in prime time drama.


    Many screenwriters earn far more than this. The scripts of the films produced by major film companies cost at least US$1 million, while well-known screenwriters may get US$4 million per movie.


    The average annual income of Hollywood screenwriters last year was $200,000, which is high compared to the average annual income of Los Angeles County residents and most Americans.


    However, the eyes of the screenwriters will certainly not look down. They stare at the actors, directors and producers. The screenwriters compare their income with the actors, directors and directors of film and television companies. Discovered interest demands for a substantial salary increase.


    According to the Screenwriters Association, the income increase rate of the association''s screenwriters is less than one-half of the profit increase rate of the entire entertainment industry. Many screenwriters also complain that they are dispensable in the eyes of large companies.


    In fact, this is not unreasonable. Except for the relatively good treatment of screenwriters contracted with Disney, other companies do not pay attention to ordinary screenwriters, and even because of the agreement, they do not like to use the members of the Screenwriter Association.


    In the nineties. Ninety-five percent of screenwriter positions in the film and television industry are occupied by members of the Screenwriters Association, and now this ratio is 55%!


    Major companies make extensive use of cheap screenwriters outside the association to produce film and television dramas, cartoons and reality shows, which also deepens the contradiction between the two sides.


    As a result, the war between the Screenwriters Guild and the Producers Alliance was about to break out.


    Before December, the Screenwriters Association began negotiations with the Producers Alliance. They believed that the average annual income of ordinary members of the association was less than 40,000 US dollars. Such income conditions were below the average income of American citizens, so they called for an increase in their salary and share. , Especially in the new media to get substantial dividends. The most obvious performance is the percentage of dvd and online on-demand dividends.


    As we all know, the US DVD market and the emerging online pay-on-demand are quite large. In fact, this is the main source of interest for the major Hollywood manufacturers. How can the major film and television companies behind the producer alliance easily compromise.


    Although not involved. But Ryan''s own attitude is also tough, even if it is to compromise, it will not be so easy, otherwise the actor''s association and the directors'' association will be messy organizations. He will all jump out. As a representative of a big company, he will naturally stand on the side of the producer alliance.


    The development of things is far from being as simple as imagined. Several negotiations ended in failure. The film company and the producer alliance insisted on their position, and it can even be said to be a tough attitude. After all, the requirements of the screenwriters association will cause the cost of film shooting and distribution to increase.


    On the second day after Charlize¡¯s reception, the negotiating group represented by Nick Conte, chairman of the Producers Union, flatly rejected a series of requests from the Screenwriters Association after a twelve-hour negotiation. An industry strike that swept across North America finally broke out this Friday.


    Even companies with script reserves like Disney are inevitably affected. "The Hangover" is just a microcosm of it.


    However, Jon Lucas is a smart man, knowing that opportunities are rare, and privately assured Julis Stewart that as long as the strike is over, he will immediately sign a formal contract with Disney Pictures.


    The strike quickly spread to all of Hollywood, with 12,000 screenwriters participating successively, and many others took to Hollywood Boulevard in protest.


    The last collective strike by the Screenwriters Association was in 1988. It lasted for 22 weeks and caused more than 500 million US dollars in losses to the entire industry. This strike will inevitably bring more pain because the entertainment industry has now grown into one Behemoths, even if they don''t count the peripheral industries, still account for about 10% of the US economy, which means that the annual output value is about 50 billion U.S. dollars.


    But similarly, considering the overall strategy of the future, Hollywood manufacturers, which are dominated by the six major companies, will not easily compromise.


    A number of film and television dramas inevitably become temporary victims.


    On the day the strike began, all talk shows were immediately suspended.


    On December 17, "24 Hours" announced the cancellation of the broadcast of this season, becoming the first unlucky TV series.


    On December 20th, the shooting of the sequel to "The Da Vinci Code" "Angels and Demons" was postponed, becoming the first unlucky movie.


    On December 23, "007: Quantum Crisis" was temporarily suspended and joined the ranks.


    On December 26th, just after Christmas, DreamWorks¡¯ main drama "The Adventures of Tintin" was temporarily shelved...


    Even so, the Producers Union still showed a tough attitude. Even if they returned to the negotiating table, they would not give in easily, and the strike continued.


    The new year is here, and there is not the slightest joy in Hollywood, and the shadow of strike is hanging over the entire North America.


    On January 4, 2008, the Screenwriters Association refused to write lines for the Golden Globe Awards and announced a boycott of the Golden Globe Awards.


    The Golden Globe Awards ceremony was forced to cancel and changed to a press conference. Natalie won the best actress in a drama.


    Everyone is beginning to worry about the Oscars ceremony next month. If the Oscars are also cancelled, it will not only be a loss of money, but also the face of Hollywood...


    Even Wall Street issued a warning that if the strike lasts for five months, the economic loss will be as high as 25 billion U.S. dollars.


    In this context, Rupert Murdoch of News Corporation, Summer Redstone of Viacom, Kyle Young of Universal, Don Logan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Time Warner, and representatives of Disney Ryan, held a secret meeting in Malibu.


    "The strike cannot continue." It was Summer Redstone who spoke.


    This is the consensus of everyone. Although the $25 billion figure is pure Wall Street nonsense, the strike will last too long and it will definitely affect the earnings of major groups.


    "We can''t compromise easily." Ryan''s attitude is clear. "Don''t forget, the agreement between the Producers League, the Directors Guild and the Actors Guild is about to expire. If we let go of the terms of the Screenwriters Guild, it will bring a chain reaction."


    He looked at the media giants present, "I think you don''t want to distribute our interests to them too much, right?"


    "My people have done statistics." Rupert Murdoch said slowly, "As long as the strike ends before the Oscars, our loss is about 300 million US dollars."


    Although there is competition with each other, they are a natural community of interests in this matter, and as a well-informed media group, how can they not make some preparations in advance.


    "Don''t forget, it''s not just us." Ryan snorted coldly. "It is estimated that the strike will cause up to 285 million U.S. dollars in wage losses to the screenwriters, and the loss of income for other film industry associates is 500 million. US dollars."


    The strike of the Screenwriters Association will not only face the producer alliance, but the stalled crews and programs will also harm the interests of other professions.


    "Then we have reached an agreement?" asked Don Logan, the chairman of Time Warner''s board of directors.


    Others nodded, and Ryan finally said, ¡°Go back to the negotiating table and drag the negotiations until the Oscar is approaching. Let the Producers League and the Screenwriters Association face the pressure from all quarters. We will definitely make a difference. Some concessions do not allow the Screenwriters Association to easily achieve its goals."


    This strike is hurting the interests of the entire industry. Compared with the producer alliance backed by major companies, the screenwriters association will bear greater pressure.


    On January 15, under the heavy pressure of all parties, the Screenwriters Association had to announce the release of Grammys. They first made a compromise.


    Then, the Producers Alliance also made concessions and started a new round of''informal negotiations with the Screenwriters Association with News Corporation President Peter Scherney, Disney CEO Robert Iger and the producer. The negotiating group represented by the chairman of the alliance Nick Conte, the chairman of the Screenwriters Association, David Young, the executive director of the West Coast Screenwriters Association, and John Bowman, the head of the association¡¯s coordination committee, returned to the negotiating table. The strike was finally over. The dawn.


    However, as Ryan said, the Producers Alliance will not give in easily. This is bound to be a see-saw negotiation.


    At the same time, the media group, which is the parent company of the six major companies, is also spreading news in the media to exert pressure, such as claiming that the scripts reserved by major companies are sufficient to film next year; , Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea bought the copyright of the film, and even introduced overseas screenwriters for tentative writing, etc.


    In fact, this is putting pressure on the editors'' association.


    Of course, people like Ryan also know that the producer league must make concessions. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 788： Closed! Closed!

    Unlike Hollywood''s major production companies, which are not hurriedly and contentiously negotiated, the film industry is most worried about the suspension of the Oscars. This is Hollywood''s largest decorative facade, and no one wants to see the shutdown happen.


    For this reason, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences cancelled the nominees luncheon and directly changed it to a press conference to announce the list of nominations.


    As a hot Oscar film created by various circumstances, "Black Swan" has received six nominations for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Editing, Best Photography, Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress. One of the biggest winners in the nomination list, and Ryan got news that in the nomination for best actress, Natalie ranked first by absolute advantage.


    This Oscar''s best actress is almost in the bag.


    However, Ryan did not relax. Even if the strike was full of uproar, his people still did not give up their public relations efforts. In the history of Oscars, nominations have an advantage, but there are many examples of being overturned later.


    After the nomination list was announced, the college was very worried that the Oscars ceremony would be suspended due to the screenwriter''s strike. They prepared for this with both hands. If the strike continues at that time, the college will launch an emergency evening party.


    In addition, the college also sent a special person to intervene in the negotiation, urging the two parties to reach an agreement as soon as possible.


    The Washington authorities are also making efforts. The fragile economic situation in the United States absolutely cannot withstand the torture of a long strike. Hollywood has been tied to Wall Street a few years ago. The accident in Hollywood is not only the pillar of the entertainment industry. Types of industries will have problems, and will even exacerbate the turmoil on Wall Street.


    Ryan''s worries didn''t appear long ago. The Screenwriters Guild had never approached him, and he wanted to come. Even a fool knew it. Where would he sit on this kind of thing.


    Time slowly dragged into February, and there was no progress in the negotiations. The producer alliance supported by the five major media groups including News Corporation, Viacom, Time Warner and Walt Disney was extremely tough.


    This is a necessary attitude towards the outside world. Even if Ryan and others are ready to make concessions.


    To crack the screenwriter''s strike, the producer alliance can only make concessions. There is no other way.


    For any industry to operate normally, both employers and employees must abide by the "rules of the game" that recognizes each other''s fairness. The tens of billions of dollars in profits in the entire entertainment industry every year are given to the screenwriters, which seems to be justified.


    But capital is inherently profit-seeking, and moving the cake of commercial groups is undoubtedly digging meat from capitalists.


    The main point of disagreement between the two parties is that the producer requires that part of the remuneration be paid after recovering the cost of movies and TV shows; while the screenwriter requires that the treatment of screenwriters in movies, TV series and reality shows be increased, and the producer must pay the screenwriter. The dvd is divided into. The share ratio is as high as 2%, and the income share for downloading programs on demand on the Internet will also increase from zero to 4.5%.


    This condition is absolutely unacceptable by the production company and the producer alliance.


    "Has no agreement been reached yet?"


    Sitting on a bench in the garden, Natalie asked with great concern, "Will the Oscars ceremony really be suspended?"


    No one wants the first Oscar statuette in his life to announce at a press conference that if there is no grand occasion, the weight of this best actress will definitely be looked down upon by countless people.


    "Don''t worry, Nat."


    After taking Natalie''s bow and arrow, Ryan opened the bow and set the arrow, aimed at the target on the palm tree, and released the bowstring. The arrow crossed the low wall and flew into Scarlett''s home next door.


    Ryan threw down the longbow, "An agreement will be reached soon. The Oscars will definitely be held on time."


    "Just waiting for you to nod?" Natalie looked at Ryan.


    "The screenwriters share our profits." Ryan said of course, "So, even if we make concessions, we must show our attitude."


    There was a sound of closing doors on the side of the wall. When Ryan turned to look, Scarlett took a blunt-headed long arrow and walked towards this side angrily.


    "Ryan, is this the first time you have shot an arrow into my garden?" she shouted.


    "Hey, dear." Ryan beckoned over there. "I know the crew is closed and you are bored at home. So I call you this way to chat."


    "You shot the glass of my flower room."


    Scarlett hurried over and threw the arrow to Ryan. "This is the second time!"


    "Okay, Scarlett." Ryan stuffed the arrow into the quiver hanging on the side, "I''ll call someone to repair it."


    "Nate, can you take care of your boyfriend?" She sat next to Natalie.


    "This is between you." Natalie immediately got out of the matter, "Don''t pull me up."


    Walking aside, Ryan took out his mobile phone, called John, and asked him to find someone to repair the flower room in Scarlett''s house.


    Hearing Ryan''s words, Scarlett put down her bulging face, "Ryan, I solemnly ask you not to continue archery, okay? You don''t even have a one-third accuracy rate of Nat."


    "Well, I promise." Ryan put away the phone and walked back.


    "When will the strike end?"


    After Ryan sat on Natalie''s other side, Scarlett asked concerned, "My crew has been shut down for a month."


    "It''s coming, it''s just a few days." Ryan made a reassuring gesture to her.


    "I knew this." Scarlett murmured, "I went to Africa with Alison. Yesterday she sent me a few photos, some of which were taken with boiling water in South Africa."


    "She won''t be robbed upright?" Natalie showed a little curiosity.


    It''s not news for a few cities in South Africa to be upset. These protected animals often rob restaurants and pedestrians in an upright manner.


    "It doesn''t look like." Scarlett shrugged, "I will send it to you in the mailbox tonight."


    Discussing African customs and Hollywood''s latest charity scandal, the three people left the garden and walked towards the villa. Scarlett complained about the suspension of work.


    The crew she was in had sensed the possibility of a strike in advance, and was the first to finish the details and lines of the script before the screenwriter went on strike. Although the general structure has been formed, this still caused the crew to be in a vague state of waiting or stalling, and Scarlett Rei and many other selected characters had to wait for the end of the strike.


    Just entering the villa, the sound of a car engine came from the front courtyard. A black Bentley stopped in front of the villa, and Natalie''s mother, Mrs. Shelly, opened the door and walked down.


    Seeing Mrs. Shelly, who didn''t want to see him, in order to avoid the intensification of conflicts, Ryan promptly said goodbye. At the same time, he told Natalie and Scarlett, who had sent him out, to prepare the dress with peace of mind. The Oscars ceremony would definitely be held as scheduled.


    Entering mid-February, the producer¡¯s union and the screenwriters¡¯ association finally reached a preliminary agreement in a seesaw-style negotiation. Major Hollywood production companies made certain concessions, and the screenwriters¡¯ association and the producer¡¯s union signed a three-year temporary contract. .


    The contract not only increased the screenwriter¡¯s basic salary, but also won 0.6% of the DVD and 2.3% of the revenue share of the network on demand. This includes not only the works from now, but also the past works. A certain percentage can be drawn from it.


    Subsequently, the Screenwriters Association held a member vote, with an overwhelming 3775 votes in favor, unanimously agreeing to stop this protracted strike tug of war, but only 283 votes against it.


    The Screenwriters Association also sent an email to each member, calling on everyone to resume work immediately.


    "The strike is over. Tomorrow, the screenwriters will return to their respective positions and everything will return to normal."


    Patrick Villon, chairman of the Screenwriters Association, said at the press conference, "The strike is not what we expected. We are just trying to get a reasonable commission from the revenue of new media dramas. Now, we have achieved enough results to make us in this digital The times have a foothold."


    The producers paid a certain amount of interest. Although the Screenwriters Association did not meet the initial requirements, the results of the negotiations have been able to satisfy most people.


    For decades, the nature of the screenwriters¡¯ work has not changed, that is, they take up pens to create, but the channels and platforms of their works are constantly changing. If 20 years ago, video tapes were a new emerging power of communication. If so, then it is now DVDs and the Internet.


    It is obviously impossible to refuse to change the payment method just because the screenwriters¡¯ work methods have not changed.


    Hollywood producers know this very well.


    "This is the best treatment we have received in 30 years." Many screenwriters said in interviews.


    Although the screenwriters have gotten a share of DVD and Internet revenue as they wish, the statement of "best treatment" is more like a sigh of relief after the tug-of-war.


    This three-year temporary contract is at best a psychological bottom line The strong position of the Producers Alliance cannot be changed with the strike.


    It is foreseeable that the way to achieve benefits through strikes will become a model in Hollywood. The strikes in 1988 and 2008, at least on the surface, have won some of the benefits they need for disadvantaged screenwriters. Maybe, the next one. Hollywood-style strikes are not far away.


    Labor conflicts can never be completely resolved.


    The screenwriters¡¯ strike overturned the viewing habits of tens of millions of American TV audiences. The strike resulted in the suspension of production of a large number of dramas and comedies, and the interruption of the shooting plans of many large-scale films. It temporarily exhausted the livelihoods of 12,000 screenwriters¡¯ association members. , It also caused hundreds of thousands of film and television industry-related staff to lose their job opportunities.


    With the end of the strike, in addition to the screenwriters and producers, the most beneficiary was Oscar. Since the strike began last year, a series of award ceremonies have been aborted due to the strike. The screenwriters began to prepare for the Oscars awards ceremony, all nominated for the screenplay award. The screenwriter will also be there in full.


    The Oscars ceremony originally planned to be held on February 24 can finally be held smoothly as scheduled. (To be continued)

 Chapter 789： Dont offend people related to Disney

    Los Angeles, which has always been sunny, began to rain on the 24th, but this did not affect the interest of the stars on the red carpet.


    For the rainy weather, the Oscar awarding agency seems to be well prepared, putting up a white canopy to protect the stars on the red carpet, and for Hollywood, which has just gone through the screenwriting strike, this bit of wind and rain is really nothing.


    The bleachers and streets around the Kodak Theater were packed with thousands of fans. The first stars to step on the red carpet included George K. Ke, who was nominated for this year¡¯s Oscar for Best Actor for "Michael Clayton." Rooney, as well as the German supermodel Heidi Klum and her black singer husband Hill.


    Renee Zellweger wore a backless evening dress, which caused fans to scream as soon as she appeared; Cate Blanchett wore a huge and dazzling necklace and walked slowly onto the red carpet; Harrison Ford and Penelope Stars such as Cruz and Hilary Swank also stepped onto the red carpet and entered the Kodak Theater.


    The two-month-long strike of Hollywood screenwriters once made people worry about whether the 80th Oscars could be held as scheduled. Now that the strike is over, the suspense has disappeared. The Oscars is a blessing in disguise, and people¡¯s interest in watching live broadcasts has increased. The advertising price of the awards ceremony. Even hit a new high.


    As a broadcaster, the TV station surpassed $100 million in Oscar advertising revenue for the first time. It seems that the screenwriter''s strike has increased everyone''s interest in this year''s Oscars.


    At all large-scale awards ceremonies, the male stars are all black and old, with little novelty and fancy.


    Therefore, the important task of attracting eyeballs on the red carpet naturally falls on the shoulders of female stars. Hollywood is star-studded today. A group of female stars who are not dressed up and brave are spared no effort to show off **** and noble, and selling **** is no longer limited to low-chest exposure. Back, slanted shoulders, split ends, perspective and even retro... the tricks are endless.


    Like male stars, black has always been the insurance choice for female stars at the awards ceremony. The calm temperament exuded by black can be interpreted as mystery, can be interpreted as sexy, and it can also be noble, and there are few mistakes.


    But at this year¡¯s Oscars awards ceremony, the female stars seemed to have agreed. There were a large number of people who moved to the red camp, and they all chose bright red. The newly-rising Anne Hathaway and the last movie queen Helen Mi. Lun and the retro beauty Catherine Heigl, both veteran acting school and youth idol. They all have a special liking for bright red, bringing fiery enthusiasm to the noble and classic Oscars.


    Just look at the frequency of the flashing light bulbs to know how strong their heat is.


    However, more enthusiastic than them are the nearly 10,000 people gathered on Highland Boulevard and Hollywood Boulevard. They hold high slogans ¡ª oppose Iran¡¯s censorship of Hollywood and support Hollywood¡¯s freedom of speech ¡ª and they will shout out from time to time. The voices of the fans on the red carpet were suppressed.


    No wonder these liberals are so excited, just yesterday. The Iranian government once again issued an attack against Hollywood, believing that "I grew up in Iran" was nominated for the best animated feature film and "A Farewell" was nominated for the best foreign language film, which is Hollywood¡¯s ulterior motives and an insult to all Iranian people. . Regardless of the results of the final awards, Iran will lodge a solemn protest.


    At the same time, they also claimed that Hollywood has been completely occupied by Jewish forces, which is a Zionist war against Iran.


    Just in the midst of protests from the Liberals in Iran. Marion Cotillard stepped onto the red carpet. Although she was very excited to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, she saw this situation. The mood can''t stop getting bad.


    In the previous series of important awards, she almost all lost to Natalie Portman, but she also won many Film Critics Association awards. She knew that the other party and the Disney behind it had a poor relationship with the film critics, and the film critics She still has some influence on the aging Oscar judges. In this way, she is not without the possibility of upset.


    But now?


    The **** Iranians keep attacking the Jewish forces in Hollywood, which is simply cutting off their hope of winning.


    Although he is a Frenchman and doesn''t know much about Hollywood, Marion Cotillard also understands that the essence of the Oscar is not much different from that of the Cannes Film Festival, and it will definitely be affected by the socio-political situation.


    According to her speculation, I am afraid that the four most important awards will fall on the Jewish head.


    Randomly said a few words in the interview area. She walked into the Kodak Theater and greeted the people around at the suggestion of the agent who came up. Among them was Ryan Jenkins.


    He was not enthusiastic about himself, he just gave a polite handshake and nodded, not even a smile, but Marion Cotillard could not give birth to any dissatisfaction. Her status and status were so different from that of the other party, I am afraid it was in his eyes. , I am no different from those little famous actors.


    Then, she saw Natalie Portman, the hottest actress of this year¡¯s Oscars for Best Actress. The other party smiled brilliantly, just like the sunshine in Los Angeles yesterday. She did have reasons to be so happy. After all, the best actress. The protagonist''s statuette is almost at your fingertips.


    In her opinion, this award cannot be upset at all. The Jewish identity and the full support of Ryan Jenkins are almost the greatest guarantee of winning.


    Marion Cotillard is very unwilling, she thinks she will never lose to the other side in acting.


    However, the difference in other aspects is too far, too far, just relying on acting and role can be awarded? She is not so naive yet.


    There is also the social situation, and Natalie is completely the beneficiary.


    Thinking of this, she suddenly looked in the direction of Ryan Jenkins, and a thought popped out of her mind.


    Could all this be planned by the other party? In order to fight for the most favorable situation for Natalie Portman, after all, Iran is world famous for being hostile to the Jews. After all, he and his films are the biggest beneficiaries. After all, he has persecuted Iran when operating "Argo" Things.


    If this is the case, his means...


    Shook his head, Marion Cotillard made up his mind not to offend anyone who has a close relationship with Disney in any case.


    She even strode to Natalie Portman''s side, and with a spring breeze smile, she sent her best wishes.


    "What did she tell you?"


    When she walked to Natalie''s side, Ryan happened to see the French woman who had left.


    It''s no wonder that he thinks this way, the female stars really have to compete, and the means and thoughts of action are much more vicious than those between male stars.


    "Nothing." Natalie shook her head at him. "Just come over and say hello."


    "Nate, time is almost up."


    Mrs. Shelly on the other side came over and pulled Natalie up, "We should go in."


    Natalie sighed helplessly to Ryan, Ryan waved her hand, and walked towards the hall of the theater with Harvey Weinstein who followed.


    "There is nothing to worry about."


    With no one else around, Harvey Weinstein whispered as he walked, "I got the exact news, Nat''s advantage is very big."


    "Where is Miramax?" Ryan asked.


    "We are the most competitive company." Harvey Weinstein laughed, "Such a favorable social and political situation, if you can''t get a few heavyweight awards, then Miramax really should go bankrupt. "


    "I don''t want the investment to be in vain."


    Seeing someone coming again, Ryan changed the subject, "I will do network protection in the future. This kind of thing will happen for the first time, and there will be a second time."


    "I see."


    Entering the hall, Ryan nodded to the person who greeted him, and found his seat. His position was not considered forward, not bordering the "Black Swan" crew, but sitting with the big fat guy Harvey Weinstein. Together.


    Not far from the front is the seat of the crew of "Black Swan", Natalie greeted the people around, and started to look around after sitting down.


    "Nate..."


    Scarlett Johansson, who came in earlier than her, asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"


    "It''s nothing." Natalie finally saw Ryan''s position and turned her head back comfortably, "Scarlett, are you ready for your acceptance speech?"


    "I didn''t prepare much." Scarlett shrugged, "You know, I''m biased towards business now, those people may not vote."


    "Ryan and Disney also did PR for you."


    When she heard Natalie''s words, Scarlett just smiled, but did not say anything. It is impossible to say that she is not jealous at all, but the friendship of more than ten years is enough to suppress this negative emotion.


    Besides, I was four years younger than Nat, and I still have time.


    For the best supporting actress, even if Ryan and Disney did a lot of public relations for her, what is the chance that she can get it under the premise of guaranteeing Natalie''s award?


    "Why didn''t Ryan sit with the crew?" She suddenly found out that Ryan was not nearby.


    "It''s behind."


    Natalie pointed at random, her eyes drifting towards her mother unconsciously, Ryan was away from the crew, presumably she was also hiding from her mother, so as to reduce the possibility of intensifying conflicts.


    She sighed secretly She was the most difficult person in the middle, but fortunately, after the awards ceremony, my mother would return to New York and everything would be back to normal.


    "Nate."


    My mother''s voice came in my ear, "How do you think I am your manager?"


    Natalie had an urge to cover her forehead. Fortunately, when the music started, she quickly said, "Mom, the award ceremony is about to begin."


    After the short prefixes, Jon Stewart, the host of "The Daily Show," stepped onto the stage, and started with the topic of the Hollywood screenwriter''s strike that had just ended.


    He said in a joking tone, "The past two months have been difficult. The bitter screenwriter strikes have torn apart Hollywood. I am very happy that this struggle is over."


    The Oscar officially celebrated its 80th birthday, and the 80th Oscar Awards ceremony kicked off. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 790： How Oscar kept secret

    "Someone will talk about the golden age of film in the past tense, as if it had been dead for many years."


    On the stage, Alan Arkin opened the envelope with glasses intently, "But the films on the nomination list come from the talented performances of these actresses, which proves that the golden age of film is still vibrant."


    "The best supporting actress is nominated..."


    Instead of looking at the card in his hand, he turned his head to look at the big screen, "Cate Blanchett "I''m Not Present", Saoirse Ronan "Atonement", Scarlett Johansson "Black Swan", Amy Ryan "Missing Baby", Tilda Swinton "Michael Clayton"."


    Similarly, Ryan also conducted public relations for this award, although the intensity is not particularly large, but with the help of this year''s situation...


    "The one who won the Oscar was..." Alan Arkin opened the card in his hand, "Scarlett Johansson, "Black Swan"."


    There was a moment of silence in the court, and then there was a burst of warm applause.


    This result is not unexpected, is it?


    In fact, many people have thought that the Jewish people may win a big victory at this awards ceremony. This is just the beginning.


    "Is it me, Nat?"


    Seeing Natalie¡¯s confirmation nod, Scarlett slowly stood up, hugged Natalie next to her, and while accepting congratulations from the people around her, she walked towards the stage and looked back at Ryan in the middle. s position.


    She knew that her award was inseparable from Ryan, and she even suspected that Ryan deliberately made the hacking incident a big deal in order to gain more benefits at the Oscar.


    However, it''s only your own people who benefit, which is not bad.


    She stepped onto the stage and took the Little Golden Man from Alan Akin, "Ah, thank you, thank you academy."


    "I''m very happy to be in the movie "Black Swan". I want to thank Disney. Thank you everyone on the crew, Natalie, you are an excellent actor and director! Ryan, you are the best investor! Thank you all People, I love you!"


    "Finally, Hollywood is free, and we should never lose the freedom of speech that we have always insisted on!"


    Fortunately, this guy still distinguished the occasion and did not chant the political slogans that he had always been keen on.


    Seeing Scarlett Johansson walk into the backstage, Ryan smiled and applauded. He was not worried that this would reduce the possibility of Natalie winning. If you change to the previous one, Disney will definitely not try hard for the best supporting actress in public relations, but this year''s situation is different. This is destined to be an awards ceremony for Jewish people.


    As the Oscar¡¯s 80th birthday, the award ceremony is naturally indispensable for commemorations and retrospectives. Before almost every important award, montage clips of past winners will be played. In addition, there are also clips of many famous winners, especially those Oscars. Couple.


    Such as Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones. Talking on the big screen, the organization gave them more than a minute, and it seemed to be establishing a model Hollywood couple.


    Of these people present, only Ryan knew about it. In a few years, the conflicts between the couple will intensify, especially the remarks of Michael Douglas, which almost pushed the couple to the point of divorce.


    So far, Ryan still vaguely remembers the biggest Hollywood gossip in his previous life around 2010. Michael Douglas, who recovered from throat cancer, blew himself up with cancer during an interview. The main cause of the cancer was a woman¡¯s oral **** infection with the HPV virus. It is even said that continuing oral **** will help the condition, making the outside world suspect that his movie star wife Catherine Zeta Jones may be infected with the HPV virus, indirectly causing him to get cancer...


    These are rumors. Unlike another Latin actress, it has been confirmed that she had contracted sexually transmitted diseases.


    Unlike in the past, Disney at this year¡¯s Oscars ceremony is extremely strong. Pixar Studios easily won the best animated feature film with "Ratatato." Brad Bird, who came to the stage to receive the award, didn¡¯t feel any excitement. The North American box office of the film is very unsatisfactory. Secondly, Pixar has won this award too many times.


    "I grew up in Iran" lost the best animated feature film, and the best foreign language film completely lost its suspense. "A Farewell" almost booked this award.


    What people including Ryan didn''t expect was that the Oscar once again showed that it was deeply affected by the social and political situation. The award-giving guests turned out to be six American soldiers who had just returned from the Iraqi battlefield.


    Of course, they will certainly not be present at the award ceremony, but the best foreign language film will be presented in the form of video connection.


    As for the award-winning film, there is no suspense. "A Farewell" easily picked the Golden Man of the best foreign language film.


    After all, the Oscar is the Oscar of Hollywood. After all, it is the Oscar of the United States. It will naturally safeguard the interests of Hollywood.


    The tone of political correctness has been fully revealed at this year''s Oscars. For those who have studied, there is almost no suspense in this year''s Oscars.


    Under the premise that the Iranian government is aggressive and constantly attacking the Jewish forces in Hollywood, it is certainly right to look for Jewish ancestry from the nominations for the best actor, best actress and best director awards.


    The best adapted screenplay first fell into the hands of the Jewish Cohen brothers.


    Subsequently, Frank Pearson, the rotating chairman of the academy, took to the stage and gave a simple explanation of the Oscar award process with the help of the big screen. In recent years, the voice of Oscars becoming money and public relations games has become louder and louder. The college seems to want to rectify its name in this way.


    There are also interspersed with the words of George Clooney, John Travolta and Michael Bay and many other judges. According to these people''s words, the Oscar is definitely a fair, open and just award.


    It is a pity that everyone in the industry knows that Oscar''s glamorous appearance is a place where various transactions such as sex, money and connections are surging. Excellent works and characters are just the most basic entry requirements.


    Brad Bird, one of the interviewees in the video, also showed a funny scene. He covered his eyes and threw the pen to the list full of nominations...


    He explained well the well-known voting method of voting with feet.


    "A secretary printed out the final statistics, sealed the envelope, and then pulled her out and shot her. We took the envelope. The result is absolutely confidential."


    Amidst laughter, this session came to an end, and the award ceremony was back on track.


    Disney has shown its strength at this Oscar. "Bourage Bourne 3" won three technical awards for best editing, best sound effects and best sound effect editing. "Tangled" also won the most awards. Good soundtrack.


    In the middle, Ryan went to the bathroom, and when he came back, he happened to see Daniel Day Lewis walking backstage.


    "Did I miss something?". He asked Harvey Weinstein.


    "Best Actor."


    As everyone clapped their palms, another Jewish actor won the prize. The British Jewish actor who was born as a gangster seems to have won the second Oscar for Best Actor in his life. If he develops on a normal track, he In the future, he is bound to become the first actor in Oscar history to win three best actor statuettes.


    It''s a pity that I am really not interested in literary films, otherwise I can hit this record.


    Counting on commercial films to win Oscars? The difficulty is too great. Although the college continues to recruit new members, it is an indisputable fact that the old guys at the core are getting older day by day. In the future, they will only be more conservative. The results of past awards also prove this. .


    They will be influenced by public relations and various exchanges, but the premise is that they must conform to their aesthetics, at least close to their aesthetics.


    The awards continued, and there was an accident in the middle. I don''t know if it was the shoes or the floor. Colin Farrell, who was the guest of the awards, almost slipped to the ground.


    "Nicole Kidman... Julia Roberts... Charlize Theron... Helen Mirren..."


    After a series of editing of the best actress winners, Tom Hanks, who replaced the absent black movie star Forrester Whitaker as the guest of honor, stepped onto the stage.


    "Grasping the true meaning of life is the duty of an actor."


    The former double actor said unhurriedly, "Being a very talented actress, fully involved in the role and turning yourself into that role, that is the best performance."


    "The heroines of these five films have achieved this..."


    Ryan crossed his hands on his lap and made so many preparations that success or failure was at the next moment.


    He believed that Natalie would win, and Natalie herself believed this. She felt her mother''s nervousness and smiled slightly to show her self-confidence. Pray for friends.


    "You will win, Nat!"


    For this day, Natalie waited for a long time. She still remembers more than ten years ago when Ryan wanted to use Matilda to win her a best supporting actress. At that time, she was still full of naive visions until Only later did I fully understand the hardships of this road.


    Now she is standing only one step away from the mountain. If she climbs to the top of this mountain, then she can climb to the other mountain with all her heart. She can''t do it like Barbra Streisand. To the point where acting, singing, and directing are all top-notch, I want to try two of the feelings of standing on the mountain.


    This is Natalie Portman, the unique Natalie Portman!


    Natalie has never forgotten this, she is not Matilda, not Padm¨¦ Amidala, nor Katniss Devon, she is just Natalie Portman!


    "Cate Blanchett''s "Elizabeth 2: The Golden Age", Julie Christie''s "Living in the Dark", Marion Cotillard''s "Life of the Rose", Laura Linni "The Savage Family", Natalie? Portman "Black Swan"..."


    "The Oscar winner is..."


    Tom Hanks opened the envelope and looked up at the VIP seat below. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 791： Privileges of the winner

    The Kodak Theater seemed to be suffocated, and everyone was watching Tom Hanks.


    Marion Cotillard''s arm dropped by her side and clenched her fist tightly. Even though she knew that the hope of winning was extremely small, no one wanted to give up an award that was so important and could even change the trajectory of life.


    Laura Linni and Julie Christie have to relax a lot. They know very well that unless the third world war breaks out tomorrow, they will definitely miss the awards, or even have no illusions. As a member of Hollywood, they know Ryan What does Jenkins stand for now, and so many things have been done for this award, how can it be left behind?


    Cate Blanchett, who had his stomach, was a little angry. Although she had the support of Nicole and the entire Australian gang, all of this was not enough under Ryan''s operation.


    There are still opportunities in the future, she can only think so, after all, without Ryan, how could her troupe become Australia''s largest troupe.


    Alan Page is very unwilling, mostly; none; wrong; + Several film critics have praised her for her performance, thinking that she should be nominated for a best actress, but because of her seniority, she has no chance with it.


    However, no matter what these people think in their hearts, they all showed excellent acting skills, with a brilliant smile on their faces, as if Tom Hanks said his name next moment.


    Sitting on the back of the chair, Ryan is very relaxed, and the possibility of accidents is infinitely small.


    The camera is always facing here, Natalie has a hearty and reserved smile, her eyes drifting across the faces of all her opponents on the big screen, waiting for the final answer.


    "The Oscar winner is..." Tom Hanks paused. "Natalie Portman, "Black Swan."


    When Natalie''s name sounded, Ryan took the lead to stand up, Harvey Weinstein beside him also stood up, and the Coen brothers on the other side of him also stood up. All the Jewish people stood up as agreed. Up. The applause was as enthusiastic and even crazy as the voices of liberals protesting against Iran outside the Kodak Theater.


    No matter what other people think of it, you can only stand up with so many Jews at this time!


    The audience stood up! Thunderous applause!


    "mom!"


    After hugging her mother, Natalie turned to the other side and hugged her best friend. Amid the applause of everyone, she pulled her dress and walked onto the stage, and took over the highest honor representing the actress from Tom Hanks. The little golden man.


    "I am very grateful for being able to win the best actress. I can''t express how much I cherish this great award."


    Raised the little golden man in his hands. Natalie said into the microphone, "I want to thank many people. First of all, I want to thank my parents for bringing me into this world. In addition, I also want to express my gratitude to the teachers who have taught me over the years. Especially thanks to my acting teacher Jim Jones, who taught me everything I know."


    "I also want to thank Scarlett Johansson and Gail Gadoo for your excellent performances. Thank you to my team of videographers..."


    "Finally, I want to thank all my friends. I want to thank them for their support, especially Ryan Jenkins, he is always by my side whenever I need him."


    There was a burst of laughter in the field. Although there has never been evidence to prove anything, but the rumors and gossip have been spread for so many years, most people also understand the truth.


    Natalie ignored the laughter and continued. "This award is of great significance to me, and I am extremely honored that no words can express my feelings at the moment. I will never forget this evening! Thank you very much!"


    Just before walking backstage, Natalie gave her final testimony, with only one word, "!"


    The applause sounded again, when the host Jon? Steer figure came up to play for a while, the best director and best film also belonged.


    The Jewish director Cohen brothers won the best director with "Old Nowhere", and Harvey Weinstein, who represents the "Old Nowhere" producer team, took over the best film figurine.


    In their acceptance speeches, the slogan ¡®film creation is Hollywood¡¯s freedom¡¯ was added at the same time.


    The Oscars ceremony ended here. It was an awards ceremony that fully demonstrated political correctness, but everything seemed to be taken for granted. The roles and performances of Natalie and Daniel Day Lewis were indeed higher than those nominated in the same period. Above the best directors with black and violent winds, the Coen brothers and "Old Nowhere" also have obvious advantages.


    The most important thing is that the entire award season is basically this trend, which is consistent with the media''s prior expectations.


    In particular, Natalie and Daniel Day Lewis have won a series of awards including the Golden Globe Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Award, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards and other awards for best actress and best actor.


    Later, Natalie only showed up at the celebration party, and took many friends back to North Hollywood, and held a private celebration party at home.


    "Cheers!"


    Several girls got together, touched their glasses, and drank them all in one fell swoop.


    There are not many people in the banquet hall, but it is extremely lively. Natalie and Scarlett, who have won the best actress and best supporting actress respectively, are naturally the center of everyone, in Gail Gado and Ke Christine Stewart booed and drank two glasses of champagne in a row.


    Older people such as Ryan and Mrs. Shelly sat on the periphery, watching the rare indulgent youth of these young girls.


    "It is estimated that the Iranians should protest again tomorrow."


    Raised a glass to Ryan, Harvey Weinstein sipped champagne, "Don''t they understand that it is impossible for us to be our opponents in terms of public opinion."


    "The more people who lack the right to speak." Ryan tapped the arm of the chair lightly. "Often the louder he shouts, although this kind of shouting will be ignored by us."


    "I heard you prepared a new script for Nat?" Harvey Weinstein asked.


    "It''s about Iraq." Ryan made a gesture that you understand. "Women want to get involved with the best director, they must take advantage of other situations."


    Sitting not far away, Mrs. Shelly heard the conversation between Ryan and Harvey Weinstein. She was in a very complicated mood. Natalie seemed to have easy access to the heroine in her hand, but in fact the other party used a lot of them behind. The means of operation even once again intensified the contradiction between Iran and Western society.


    It is true that Jews are naturally dominant in Hollywood, and it is not easy to win prizes.


    This is the biggest feeling that Mrs. Shelly has run for her daughter''s career in recent months. If it is not for other intolerable reasons, Ryan is definitely the best choice for her daughter.


    How much thought did the thin and thin boy who seemed innocent at first ever touch?


    She regretted that she hadn''t stopped Natalie and Ryan''s relationship at first.


    "Cheers!"


    In a strange cry, Scarlett held up her little golden man and shouted loudly, "I''m going to sleep with it tonight!"


    "Where is Nat? How about you?"


    Quite a lot of people booed, and Gal Gado said in a teasing tone, "Of course Nat was sleeping with Ryan in her arms."


    Greater laughter broke out in the banquet hall.


    "Shut up, Gail!"


    When Natalie jumped over, Gal Gado said in a panic, "Hey, Nat, what are you going to do? Let go, or I will fight back."


    "Who is touching my **** behind!" she shouted again.


    "I think I should say goodbye."


    Harvey Weinstein and the other male members of the crew stood up, greeted Mrs. Shelly over there, and hurriedly left Natalie''s villa.


    Ryan lowered his eyelids and tried not to look at those crazy girls. Tonight is a huge victory, and the winner has the privilege of crazy celebration.


    "Can you talk about it?"


    Mrs. Shelly suddenly came over and made a please gesture to the lounge on the other side. Ryan nodded and followed her.


    "Thank you for all this for Nat."


    Entering the lounge, she walked directly onto the balcony, her words were full of politeness, Ryan stood by, looking into the distance, the pattering rain had already stopped.


    "It should be."


    This is indeed what he should do.


    "Ryan, I knew you when you were nine years old." Madam Shelly looked at this side with complicated eyes, "Nate and you have always been good friends..."


    "mom."


    The voice that sounded behind suddenly interrupted Mrs. Shelly''s words. Natalie walked over quickly, looked at her mother worriedly, and then at Ryan. She was relieved when she saw that there was no sign of quarreling between the two.


    Ryan knew that it was impossible to have a chance to be alone with Natalie tonight, and smiled at her, "I should go back, don''t play too late."


    "Then I''ll give it to you."


    She followed Ryan out of the lounge.


    Walking to the door of the villa, Ryan took a coat from the hanger and put it on Natalie. The two walked towards the garage together.


    "Mom tells you..."


    Hearing Natalie''s words, Ryan shook his head, "My dear, don''t worry, we have no dispute, that''s your mother."


    "Mom wants to be my manager." Natalie said with a frown.


    "What do you mean?"


    In this case, Ryan is not at all able to express his opinions.


    "Anna did a great job Natalie smiled, "I have no plans to replace Anna. "


    Turning into the garage, here is the blind spot of the villa balcony, Natalie no longer has any scruples, hugged Ryan tightly, and sent a sweet kiss. The two people entangled for a full minute before they separated.


    "Go back." Ryan patted her ass. "They are all waiting for you. This is your night."


    "It belongs to you too." Natalie touched his lips again.


    Waiting for Natalie to let the garage door open, Ryan got into the black Bentley, started the car, and drove slowly away from North Hollywood.


    A frantic celebration night belonging to Oscars has just begun.


    The Iranian government¡¯s protest against Oscars also kicked off again. Their goal is directed at Ashar Fahati, who won the best foreign-language film Golden Man-do you dare to swear to God that what you say is the truth? (To be continued...)

 Chapter 792： Tony and Charcoal

    This year¡¯s Oscar is undoubtedly a great victory for "evil of human nature." To use the most popular phrase on the other side of the Pacific today, it is "very dark and violent." Headed by Natalie and Daniel Day Lewis, "evil men are evil." The "women" interpret the dark side of the human nature of their respective roles vividly, which is a bit at odds with the Oscar''s focus on humanity in previous years.


    Over time, news about Oscars in North America gradually disappeared, and only a small number of media would occasionally engage in quarrels with the Iranian government that made protests to attract attention.


    Having obtained enough income, Ryan has also slowed down his public opinion offensive against Iran. The only regret is that the huge losses in the Miramax incident are not destined to be recovered in a short period of time.


    The other good news is that after "Black Swan" won Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress, it began its second round of theaters in North America. Although there are only 234 theaters, it can bring some income. The North American box office of this film reached 120 million U.S. dollars before the Oscars, and the global box office was close to 300 million U.S. dollars. As more overseas regions join the show, the box office numbers will definitely rise.


    Natalie has also become one of Hollywood''s leading female directors with hundreds of millions of dollars.


    After the Oscar, she flew directly to Australia, where she joined Katherine Kennedy and Sophia Coppola, preparing to continue filming the "Hunger Games" series.


    As for the new movie, Natalie has prepared a rather long preparation period for herself, which is, after all, a huge difference in style from her first two movies.


    While staying in Los Angeles, Ryan, in addition to dealing with Disney''s affairs, also kept talking on the phone with Scott Swift to keep abreast of Wall Street trends and the possible impact on Hollywood.


    In addition, he welcomed an important guest.


    After Tony Blair, the former prime minister of the Kingdom of Great Britain, stepped down. After some consideration, he finally accepted Ryan''s invitation and became a special adviser to Disney.


    of course. This is not full-time, and the knowledge is limited to the top executives of Disney.


    Accompany Tony Blair on a tour of the Disney headquarters building. Ryan led him into the reception room on the top floor, where only the two of them were left.


    "Tony, how do you feel."


    After George delivered the coffee, Ryan said casually like an old friend, ¡°There is only the administrative department here. If you are interested, I can let someone take you to Pixar Studio or DreamWorks Animation.¡±


    "No, Ryan."


    Blair, who was sitting next to him, shook his hand. "Let¡¯s talk about work."


    The two parties did not sign any written contract, everything was an oral agreement, and when they reached their level, they would not go back easily.


    "The negotiation on the supplementary agreement of the WTO Memorandum of Agreement between China and the United States on film is still in the see-saw stage." Ryan didn''t go around in circles, and directly said his own thoughts. "I heard that you have some connections and influences among the senior leaders in China. force."


    He has investigated Blair, and he still has a little memory. In his previous life, Blair served as an intermediary broker for oil tycoons in the Middle East and Chinese interest groups, and facilitated several large-scale transactions.


    "I can''t guarantee anything, I can only do my best." Blair did not evade.


    Take people money. It is normal to do things for others, not to mention the verbal agreement between the two parties. He can draw money from it.


    "Also, Tony, I think you should know." Ryan made a please gesture to him, took his coffee cup, took a sip, "Disney''s most profitable movies are animated feature films and superhero movies. , But these films are sometimes blocked outside the Arab world. Disney''s Middle East branch has thought of many ways to do this, but the effect is not obvious."


    "Is it a movie..."


    Seeing Blair''s hesitant expression. Ryan put down the coffee cup and made a relieved gesture to him. "Disney has internal game rules, and we will not offend the sensitive nerves of the Arab world."


    "That''s good." Blair also put down his coffee cup. "I can also take this job."


    In fact, Ryan knows very well that Blair has not only acted as a consultant for the Disney family regarding the Middle East, but you pay for this kind of thing and I work hard, there is nothing to say.


    "Tony." Ryan thought of the nearly $200 million loss on his and Nicole''s books, "I don''t know what you think of Iran."


    "A religious country." Blair thought for a while, then said, "Isolated from the civilized world."


    "Last year, they caused me a huge loss." Ryan slowly lowered his eyelids to block the unhappiness in his heart. "I hope you can help me in this regard."


    "You have many''old friends'' in various countries, and I hope you can lobby them privately to impose stricter sanctions on the Iranian government than it is now."


    Ryan raised his hand to interrupt what Blair wanted to say, and continued, "It''s very difficult to make this happen. I know this, Tony, this is just a business I personally entrusted to you, and there is no time and effect.


    He didn''t have much confidence in this, he just thought of a bitter anger of being hacked.


    Tony Blair was very cautious and didn''t say yes or, obviously, he didn''t want to leave any clues.


    He certainly couldn''t contribute to this alone. Ryan knew this, so he found a better investment target. To be precise, the other party took the initiative to come to the door.


    In mid-March, Ohei Tan, who was busy canvassing for the general election, brought his campaign team to California. In addition to a series of public activities, he also visited California''s rich and famous celebrities. Scarlett, who is a supporter of the Democratic Party, also visited California. He brought a message to Ryan that Aohetan wanted to come to visit.


    After meeting Tony Blair, Ryan agreed to Ohetan¡¯s request to visit. In the beach villa in Malibu, he and Michelle and his party were treated as a family banquet.


    "This is the French chef I specially found..."


    In the restaurant, the atmosphere seems to be pretty good. Nicole and Michelle talked about some unnutritious topics, "He cooks very well. He is a chef I often hire. I hope you like it."


    "It tastes very good." Michelle praised hurriedly, "This is the best French dish I have eaten this year."


    "Thank you." Nicole gave a warm and polite smile.


    "It is said that many of your friends are inclined to the Democratic Party, such as Miss Scarlett Johansson." Michelle missed the opportunity to test, "but I have never seen you and Ryan made political opinions."


    "I''m an Australian." Nicole said without a trace, "Can''t participate in American political activities."


    On the other side of the table, the topic between Ryan and Aohetan, from the North Pole to the South Pole, from the South Pole to the Tropic of Cancer, and then from the Tropic of Cancer back to the Rocky Mountains, he never answered the other party''s political issues.


    Ohetan has not yet become an official candidate for the federal president, and Hillary Clinton is competing for the position of the Democratic candidate. He needs the media to give him a loud voice, and Walt Disney has such a strong traditional media and Media groups that are more powerful online media must be the focus of their efforts.


    Aohetan has encountered a lot of trouble recently.


    There is a "Hussein" section in his name, which did not attract attention, but when he stepped into the campaign life, he was quickly hyped as a hot spot. The media and people who tend to Hillary Clinton regarded this issue as a "blockbuster". "Throw it out, and make a big splash.


    They deliberately claimed that Ohetan deliberately concealed his true identity as a Muslim in the past and still.


    You know, in the history of the United States for more than 200 years, there has never been a president who believes in Islam, and will never allow an Islamic president to appear.


    Of course, Ohetan is definitely not a believer in Islam.


    Ohetan clearly knows that his African-American identity is "a potentially extremely sensitive issue" in North America, dominated by white Puritans. Those who attack him are inconvenient to talk about racial issues, so they have to criticize religious beliefs.


    The examples they cited, in addition to the "Hussein" section of his name, also said that his biological father and stepfather Rollo Soetolo were Muslims, and that he went to an Islamic religious school in his stepfather''s home country, Indonesia.


    In short, all this confirms that Aohetan is indeed a Muslim.


    To explain that if you want to fight back, Aohetan needs the support of the mainstream media. This is also the biggest reason why he wants to see Ryan through the relationship between Scarlett.


    Ryan knew this, so he wasn''t in a hurry.


    Eyes swept from Nicole''s side, Ryan didn''t worry, and with Nicole''s years of experience, it was not difficult to deal with the future first lady who was not so smart.


    The family banquet did not last long. This kind of banquet seemed to have a warm atmosphere, but in fact it was full of cold transactions.


    After dinner, Ryan took the initiative to invite Aohetan to visit his private beach, and Nicole and Michelle followed closely behind.


    "The scenery of Malibu is really charming."


    Walking deep and shallow on the beach, Ohei Tan''s eyes drifted away with the flying seagulls, "This is the most ideal place to live."


    "in my opinion."


    Looking at the sea in the distance, Ryan said unhurriedly, "The scenery of the White House is even more fascinating."


    "Now the owner of the White House doesn''t care much about Hollywood affairs Seeing Ryan mentioned the White House, Oheitan directly turned the topic to politics. "We have a new round of negotiations with China on movies and peripheral products. So far, no progress has been made. Hollywood is our window to export culture. This matter should be resolved first. "


    "It''s difficult to change in the short term." Ryan walked toward the beach, "I can only wait for the next government."


    "I think so too." Aohetan followed, and said with a point. "The federal government should guarantee the interests of Hollywood and the companies that are the pillars of Hollywood overseas."


    "That''s why we like the federal government."


    Talking about ghosts and unbelieving words, Ryan has a leisurely air, "Hollywood is the Hollywood of America and an important node of our globalization strategy."


    "Many people say that I am a Muslim, but in fact I believe in Christianity." Ohetan suddenly changed the subject, "I and Iranians have different beliefs." (to be continued)


    ...()

 Chapter 793： Black and white heart

    "Ryan..."


    Obviously, Ohei Tan was fully prepared before he came, "I don''t know what your views on the Iranian nuclear issue are."


    "A movie produced by Disney..."


    When the water was more than twenty feet away, Ryan stopped and did not answer directly, "It can completely represent my current perception of Iran."


    "I think there should be stricter sanctions against Iran."


    Standing next to Ryan, Aohetan said vigorously, ¡°The federal government must further promote the United Nations and the Security Council to sanction Iran, crack down on Iran¡¯s extreme religious forces, and even treat Iran with the policy of treating Iraq in the 1990s.¡±


    "I also hope to see that day."


    Although knowing that what a politician said is no different from farting, what Ryan wants is only stricter sanctions than it is now.


    Aohetan apparently knew about Ryan before he came, and then vaguely stated that if he could enter! No! Wrong! Lord of the White House, he would step up to chase and kill Bin Laden.


    Ryan didn''t expect that the arrest warrant, which he almost forgot, was turned over by him.


    Without staying for too long, Oheitan left, and Ryan didn''t mind Disney''s proper support for him.


    Later, Ryan and Nicole also left Malibu and returned to Beverly Hills. Sandy, who was about to turn two years old, was still waiting for them at home.


    "Mummy."


    Just after getting out of the car and walking to the villa, the little guy was picked up by Elsa. She completely ignored her father, "Mommy, hug..."


    Taking her daughter, Nicole pointed to her side, Sandy turned her head and grinned, "Dad."


    As they get older, the little guy¡¯s speech becomes clearer, and girls are born with an advantage over boys of the same age in terms of expression. She can also say a few complete sentences sometimes.


    Of course, treating Ryan''s father is far less intimate than Nicole.


    "Dear."


    Entering the living room and sitting on the sofa, Ryan opened his hand to his daughter, "Mommy is tired, can I hold it?".


    "No."


    The little guy immediately turned his head and buried his face in Nicole''s arms, "I want... Mommy."


    "Elsa."


    Nicole asked the housekeeper, "Did Sonny have a nap?"


    "Just woke up fifteen minutes ago."


    Just when Nicole was talking to Elsa. The little guy got out of his mother''s arms, climbed onto the sofa, and pointed to the rattle on the coffee table, "Dad..."


    Ryan took the rattle, handed it over, and the little guy laughed happily.


    "Sanny."


    Nicole leaned in front of her and looked at her daughter seriously. Sandy blinked her blue eyes, "Thank you... Dad."


    "You are sure that he will push for sanctions against Iran after he takes office."


    Seeing her daughter having fun playing. Nicole and Ryan discussed the meeting just now, "and to fight for more overseas interests for Hollywood."


    "Politician''s words..." Ryan shook his head and said again, "But this is in the interests of the United States. Even if the strength is not met, he will definitely introduce relevant measures."


    "So," Nicole questioned, "you are very optimistic about him. He is a black man."


    "No one stipulates that the United States cannot be president by a black person." Ryan said the simplest truth, "even if a black person enters the White House, he is black and white."


    "Chocolate...filled candy..." Sandy suddenly raised his head. Looking at Ryan, "Dad, I want to eat."


    Ryan and Nicole both laughed when they heard this innocent childish talk.


    Like other kids of the same age, Sandy is sometimes cute and sometimes naughty, and can always bring a lot of happiness and troubles to Ryan and Nicole. Sometimes when Apple Martin comes over, the two little guys will fight, but they quickly get together. it is good.


    As soon as it got dark, the little guy yawned after dinner, lay in Nicole''s arms and closed his eyes. After she fell asleep, Elsa took her into the nursery.


    "If you haven''t been out during this period of time."


    Going back to her bedroom, Nicole put on her pajamas and said to Ryan, "Be with Sonny, or be careful that she grows up to be strange to your father."


    "I know."


    Walking to the back of Nicole sitting in front of the dressing table, Ryan bent over and kissed her white back of her neck, "I will definitely not miss every moment when Sunny grows up."


    "I''m going to Mississippi and Tennessee to go out in a few days." Ni trusted him, and said with some worry, "I can''t take Sonny with me."


    "I will take care of her." Ryan promised.


    "is it?". Nicole looked over, "Why didn''t I know that she had an extra godmother? Or a South African who does not believe in Catholicism."


    "The matter between us should not continue to Sandy."


    Sighing, Nicole didn''t say anything any more, stood up and walked to the bed, turned on the bedside lamp, took the script, and looked through it.


    Like other Hollywood crews, "Weakness" was also affected by the screenwriter¡¯s strike. The filming work that should have ended before the Oscars ceremony has continued until now. It is estimated that it will not be transferred to post-production until April at the earliest. Fortunately, there are not a lot of complex special effects used in this film, and it is in full compliance with the schedule at the end of this year.


    As for whether the film can bring a statuette to Nicole, Ryan is not sure, and can only do his best. After all, this blond and blue-eyed character is not particularly liked by the Oscar judges. The reason for the award in the previous life is too complicated.


    After Nicole left Los Angeles, Ryan asked Hollywood Records to warn Miley Cyrus¡¯ father and her agent that if the other party had another scandal during the contract period, he wouldn¡¯t mind cutting off "Hannah Monta." "Na".


    The cause of the incident was simple. Miley Cyrus, who was less than sixteen years old, and the boyfriend arranged for her by Disney went to the bar for fun, and clashed with the now infamous Lindsay Lohan. The two sides scolded at the entrance of the nightclub from the beginning to the end, and they were also filmed by Time Warner''s gossip website tmz.


    The other party did not distribute it immediately, but instead called the Hollywood record company. In the end, Robert Iger personally intervened before suppressing the matter.


    Youth idols have a shelf life. If you don¡¯t pay attention, this shelf life will be shortened quickly. Disney paid a high price for training Miley Cyrus, despite the Hannah Montana World Tour last year. It has brought nearly 100 million U.S. dollars in revenue to Disney, but who doesn''t want to maximize profits and completely squeeze her value out?


    Disney''s most important film project this month comes from Miley Cyrus-"Hannah Montana Global Concert Documentary".


    In 2006, Disney Channel launched the sitcom "Hannah Montana", which promoted the 14-year-old girl Miley Cyrus as a popular superstar that everyone looked up to. After the success of the TV series, Disney gave her an award. As she has built a national and world tour, it is bound to maximize her profits before the arrival of her shelf life.


    "Hannah Montana Global Concert Documentary" is a multi-faceted presentation of the concert tour. The film contains the story behind the stage, the composition, makeup, and sound effects of Miley Cyrus and the whole class of queens. Even Disney converted it into a 3d format after the editing was completed...


    This can be said to be an overdraft consumption of the fan economy, but Miley Cyrus is 16 years old, and the problems of drug use and alcohol abuse are quite serious. In the movie version of "Hannah Montana" After "Female is a Big Star", she will definitely be abandoned by Disney. Overdraft consumption is an inevitable choice.


    In order to promote the film, Disney even put pressure on her and her agent to arrange a fake relationship between her and an actor in "Hannah Montana", which is to accompany her to the bar and meet Lindsay? Luo Han''s gun. You guys who fought hard.


    This is normal in Hollywood. In order to promote yourself and the work, under the coordination of the producer and the agency, a hot topic of true and false love affair will be introduced.


    Ryan has seen such things a lot in the past and now.


    Even if he hadn''t really been in contact with Hollywood in his previous life, he thought that the romance of some Hollywood stars was obviously a fake.


    The most typical ones are Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Holt. When filming "X-Men: First Class", two people who were not too famous made a pair, and the film''s big-selling crew disbanded quickly. After breaking up, when the "X-Men: Reversing the Future" was in preparation, the two reunited in a flash, attracting a lot of attention...


    Although I did not see "X-Men: Reversing the Future" in my previous life, I would like to come to the movie soon, and the two will definitely break up again.


    This kind of publicity is simple and straightforward. In fact, the seemingly affectionate youth idol couples under Disney are basically such products.


    For more than ten years, Disney''s starmaking operation has not changed in essence, because facts have proved that this is an effective method.


    The most typical is Miley Cyrus and her upcoming hodgepodge movie.


    "Hannah Montana Global Concert Documentary" deliberately selected the traditional off-season in March, but the results achieved not only delighted Disney, but also amazed the companies that worked hard to make movies.


    The film landed in North America with 683 theaters and got a box office of 31.11 million US dollars on the first Wednesday, and the single hall score was as high as 45,561 US dollars...


    Of course, the critics must be full of scolding. The film critics angrily accused Disney of making money without a lower limit, but they could not stop the crazy fans from paying for it.


    In just ten days, such a pieced together pseudo 3D music documentary cost 58.66 million U.S. dollars in North America, leaving countless people beyond their glasses.


    In the short term, Disney has pushed the income that "Hannah Montana" and Miley Cyrus can earn to a peak, but this kind of overdraft also determines Miley Cyrus'' future bumpy stardom. .


    This has also made a not-so-good start for Hollywood. Many record companies have effectively imitated the idea, especially those singers who are starting to go up and down. They are simply the best money-giving targets.


    ("Hannah Montana Global Concert Documentary" is true. Probably Sony''s "That''s it" is also inspired by it. The big cousin''s matter is random guessing.) (to be continued...)

 Chapter 794： Anna and Elsa

    Venice, a small city on the west side of Los Angeles, is famous for its beaches, canals, and street performers. Venice Beach facing the Pacific Ocean is world-famous, but in the eyes of movie lovers, these cannot represent Venice because of studio tyrants, technical madmen, truck drivers, and the king of the world. James Cameron¡¯s studio is located here.


    Walking into the studio, a staff member immediately led Ryan to the special effects room where James Cameron worked.


    "Hi, Jim."


    I greeted James Cameron, who was standing in front of a row of LCD screens, and Ryan stood beside him, peacefully waiting for the truck driver to finish his work.


    He is dealing with the detailed environment of Pandora with the technicians. At present, most of the special effects are still in the modeling and rendering stage. Except for the few Nameis captured by the motion, the screen is full of three-dimensional lines.


    Disney has already invested more than 200 million US dollars on this project. If you count the later announcements, this number will definitely double. Even if Ryan is confident in James Cameron, as the creative director of the group, he is still from time to time. We must pay attention to this project.


    He is not interfering with the other party''s creation, but as much as possible to remind Cameron that overtime or overspending is all right, but there must be a limit. After all, Cameron is not Michael Bay''s kind of commercial director who is savvy in business.


    After waiting for about half an hour, James Cameron put down his work and invited Ryan''s "Long" and "Wind" literature out of the special effects room and went to the studio''s lounge for coffee.


    "Although it was affected by the strike."


    Sitting at the coffee table, Cameron gently rubbed his forehead, "But the live-action shooting is about to end. I will return to Wellington next week to continue the rest of my work."


    Because of the relationship between the Weta Studio that undertakes special effects and the tax exemption policy provided by the New Zealand government, the real-life motion capture of "Avatar" is all carried out in the studio in Wellington. Although it has encountered a series of problems, it is compared with the later special effects. Real-life shooting is simpler.


    "What about the production cost?"


    Putting down the coffee cup, Ryan asked the most concerned question, "Should the latest $30 million arrive in the account?"


    "Already here." Cameron made a relieved gesture to Ryan, "Ryan, I promise that the production cost of the film will not exceed 250 million US dollars."


    This number is indeed not high, not as good as Warner''s "Superman Returns."


    "I have convinced the board of directors." Ryan said unhurriedly, "Disney will spend at least $250 million in publicity expenses..."


    He paused, "Jim, the first super blockbuster in history that cost $500 million is a good publicity."


    "I will cooperate with you." James Cameron nodded. Obviously agree with this plan.


    "The film is tentatively scheduled to be released next year." Ryan calculated it carefully. "It is 12 years from "Titanic" in the summer of 1997, so that''s it. James Cameron is preparing for a 12-year big production... "


    "Ryan."


    The set tyrant raised his hand to interrupt him, "From the beginning of "Titanic", you have given me the greatest support. We are partners, and I will fully cooperate with Disney''s publicity plan."


    "Relax, Jim." Ryan leaned back in his chair. "Before the film is finished, we try not to interrupt your work."


    Afterwards, the two talked about some of the shooting as if chatting.


    In order to meet the shooting requirements of "Avatar", James Cameron and imax have improved their 3D digital photography system. For this purpose, a set of camera system has been specially established, which includes 11-channel motion control dual-lens synchronous zoom, follow focus and aperture control, and convergence control between the two cameras. Baseline control and mirror control redesigned to maintain the balance of the bracket, especially for the installation of Steadicam, etc.


    "Every day we have to carefully check almost all the lenses to ensure that the lighting is normal, the convergence and the baseline are correct. This is very heavy manual labor, but it is very necessary."


    Speaking of complicated shooting, Cameron seemed a little anxious. ¡°The two cameras are particularly prone to problems at first. Sometimes matching them is simply a challenge. If one of them is a little out of focus, then the 3D of the entire lens The effect is ruined."


    Although he did not go to Wellington, Ryan could guess the difficulty. Even Michael Bay, after shooting every day, would check the shots with the camera director one by one, so as to find the problem and solve it in time, and the perfectionist James Cameron You can imagine how it will be done.


    There is no doubt that the achievements of "Avatar" in digital stereo and virtual photography technology will be great. Its emergence will bring a strong boost to the form, production concept and technology of digital stereo film, and it will definitely become the history of the entire film development. One of the important milestones.


    As Cameron said, "Our technology is now 5 years ahead, but in 5 years these technologies will become common tools for everyone."


    This technical madman is bound to bring about another revolution in the film industry.


    After chatting with the producer Jon Landau who came later, Ryan left James Cameron¡¯s studio and went straight to the Disney Animation Studio in Burbank after leaving the small town of Venice. go with.


    Last year''s "Tangled" won a global box office of 592.89 million U.S. dollars. Although it is incomparable with the two animated feature films of Pixar Studios and DreamWorks Animation Studios, this is the beginning of the new century. Disney Animation has the best response and the highest box office animation feature film. More importantly, its success has freed Disney from the shackles of the traditional fairy tale model and confirmed the role of the female protagonist in a more proactive role.


    At present, the Disney Animation Department has launched several major productions at the same time. The most important projects are "Snow and Snow Adventure" based on "Snow Queen" and an unnamed project based on Marvel Comics "Six Heroes".


    Under Ryan¡¯s proposal, the latter was finally put on the schedule for formal operation after investigation and demonstration by Disney and Marvel Comics.


    "Hi, John."


    Walking into a music practice room, Ryan shook hands with producer John Lasseter and director Jennifer Lee. "Where is Taylor? Has she not arrived yet?"


    "She was talking to Mr. Christopher Baker, who served as the soundtrack, in another lounge."


    At the time when John Lasseter was speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Taylor, in casual clothes, walked in with a middle-aged man. Under Jennifer Lee¡¯s introduction, Ryan learned that it was right. It was Christopher Baker, the soundtrack that Disney hired according to its own requirements.


    "Is it complete?"


    Ryan asked when Tyler walked over.


    That song is too long now, and what he still remembers clearly is the tune and lyrics of the chorus climax. The other is basically forgotten, so he can only write some fragments and give it to Taylor to complete it.


    Taylor didn''t speak, and walked to his band, first made a gesture of "ok" to this side, and then communicated with several members of the band.


    "Jane." She looked at the director, "Can we start?"


    Jennifer Lee solicited the opinions of others, nodded to Taylor, and the melodious piano accompaniment floated up.


    Standing there confidently, Taylor started singing gently.


    "The white snow covers the mountain tonight, burying my footprints behind me, in this lonely white country, I am the queen of ice and snow, the gust of wind is crying, and my heart cannot be calmed, no matter how hard I work, I can no longer hide..."


    In the empty room, there were only Taylor''s singing and the accompaniment of the band.


    "Shut down the sincerity so that no one can see it clearly. Now it is seen clearly..., the secret has been revealed to the world..."


    Taylor tried to use her voice to drive people''s thoughts to sing and dance in the wind and snow. A dazzling and dazzling ice and snow castle appeared in her singing. The vivid colors, crystal clear texture, and magnificent scenes. Coupled with the emotional tension of Gultan singing, the listener couldn''t help but follow along...


    This can be said to be the greatest power of saliva songs or brainwashing songs.


    ",, don''t expect me to go back in time, stand here, no longer hide, let the raging wind scream, and I will never be afraid..."


    Maybe it''s because of his own style, or maybe it''s a lack of enough practice. The last paragraph requires a high range of singing, and Taylor seems to lack explosive power.


    But even this is enough to satisfy these people in the field.


    "Ice and Snow" is positioned as a traditional Disney song and dance animation feature film. The theme song as the main theme is very important. This song is enough to reassure Jennifer Lee and John Lasset, and it is enough to make Christopher Lee as the soundtrack. Baker derives more music.


    "The song is okay."


    After the band stopped, Christopher Baker directly expressed his opinion, "The song is concise and easy to catch. It is very suitable as an animation for the youth market."


    "As for the person who sings..." Jennifer Lee seemed to be afraid of Tyler''s remorse, and deliberately said in front of Ryan, "Miss Swift has agreed to voice Elsa."


    Tyler shrugged to Ryan in cooperation. This is not the first time she has dubbed a cartoon.


    The next thing has nothing to do with Taylor. Ryan and John Lasseter discussed some things about production, and it was not until night fell that they left Disney Animation Studios.


    Throwing away his band, Taylor also got into his Rolls-Royce RV.


    "I have an appointment with Charlie for dinner." She said plausibly.


    "Alison."


    When the car drove out of the parking lot, Ryan reminded her, "Remember that this song should be in line with the Disney Animation Department''s plan."


    "I know, I''m not a fool." She muttered, and then asked, "Who is the voice of Princess Ann?"


    "Disney is still selecting."


    For Taylor, Ryan knows very well, "Do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?" (to be continued...)


    ...

 Chapter 795： Won the word of mouth, lose the market

    "Hey, dear."


    Sitting at the top of the table, Ryan fiddled with the fruit salad on the plate and said to Taylor, "Who do you really recommend?"


    On the return car, for some reason, Taylor suddenly became silent and seemed to be in a bad mood. It was not until he came to Jenkins Manor and saw Charlize that he resumed his joking look.


    "Scarlet..." Taylor only ate a little vegetable salad and pearl chicken, then put down his knife and fork. "She saw part of the script from Ms. Sloan. After hearing that I was going to voice Elsa, she thought Voice for Anna."


    "This role has to sing a lot of songs, Scarlett''s singing..." Ryan shook his head, "She is not suitable for this role."


    "I said so too." Tyler wrinkled his nose, "but she doesn''t think so."


    "Honey." Charlize interrupted suddenly. "You guys won''t quarrel again, do you?"


    "The concept doesn''t match." Taylor muttered, "She is always unreasonable, regardless of the reality, and always naively proposes an unrealistic excess..."


    She looked at Ryan, opened her mouth, and finally closed it again.


    "How many years have you quarreled?"


    Sighing, Ryan put down the spoon, picked up the paper towel and wiped the salad dressing on his hands, "Don''t say Scarlett, you have a lot of problems."


    "I know, but..." Her eyes flashed and her mouth closed again.


    "It''s time to throw the two of you on a deserted island." Ryan stood up and walked toward the living room. "It is estimated that you two will no longer be arguing."


    "That''s easy."


    Without hearing Tyler''s mosquito-like moaning sound, Ryan couldn''t help turning his head back, "What did you just say, Alison?"


    "I''m done."


    Tyler walked around the dining table, holding Charlize, who had stood up, toward this side. "Do you think so too, Charlie?"


    "I''m used to it."


    Shaking his head, Charlize followed Ryan out of the villa. Walked towards the garden.


    Los Angeles in April is already a bit hot, but the location of Jenkins Manor is excellent. Occupying a hillside alone, the occasional night breeze blows away the only heat and brings the slightest coolness.


    Charlize took Tyler, caught up with Ryan, and walked along the cobblestone path between the flowerbeds full of flowers, discussing their trip to Africa, which ended some time ago.


    "We went to South Africa first. Did you know, Ryan."


    Looking back on his trip to Africa, Taylor''s interest was obviously high. "Do you know how popular Charlie was there? She is simply a national hero in South Africa, and many media have compared her with Mandela."


    "It''s not as exaggerated as you said." Charlize was uncommonly humble.


    "Charlie is the best." Ryan complimented timely, "I have always been convinced of this."


    The three of them laughed, turned the corner of the garden, and entered the palm grove.


    "Do you know what South Africa impressed me the most?" Taylor raised his feet and picked a flower from the passing magnolia tree. "May I give you a hint. Ryan, not a human being."


    "Baboon." Ryan had already got the answer from Scarlett.


    "Bingo." Taylor snapped his fingers and said. "I have encountered guerrilla warfare between humans and baboons on the streets of Cape Town several times. Groups of baboons climbed up to the sides of the apartment, opened the windows, and robbed the house."


    "The baboon is a protected animal in South Africa." Charlize added.


    Seeing Ryan nodded, Taylor continued, ¡°The residents of Cape Town can only use paintball guns and pepper sprays to expel them, but human tolerance has made the baboons feel safe. I saw many people have suffered property losses due to baboon attacks. Even personal injury."


    "Has the government not formulated relevant measures?" Ryan faintly remembers the news that he had seen South African baboons in his previous life.


    "Baboons will not harm humans. They just want to find food in a short time. Stealing from residents'' homes will save them energy and time. There is no need to worry about being killed by leopards or lions."


    Tyler leaned over mischievously and inserted the magnolia flower in his hand between Ryan''s collar. "These are the words of the animal experts I read in the Cape Town newspapers."


    "This world..." Ryan glared at Tyler, and after this guy ran away happily, he threw the magnolia flower into the trash can next to him, "There are always people who love animals more than humans."


    There is nothing wrong with loving animals, but those extremists are extremely annoying, especially for Hollywood, which often uses a large number of animals for filming, animal protectors are definitely an unpopular group. If any crews using animals are caught by these People are staring at it, which means that the shooting time is infinitely prolonged and the cost is greatly increased.


    Many of Disney''s films have been influenced by them during the production.


    For example, "The Chronicles of Narnia 2", which was produced last year, was expected to use a large number of animal actors. However, due to the presence of several animal protection organizations, the original plan had to be abandoned and the production was entirely cg. The crew had to increase for this. A budget of millions of dollars.


    As long as the animal actors exceed the prescribed working hours by one minute, these people will jump up and down, and those extras who work overtime just to get enough to eat, they don''t look at them.


    No matter where one goes to the extreme, it will only bring about crazy conditions that are unreasonable.


    The three people walked around in the huge manor. Taylor and Charlize shared their experiences in Africa. Although many of them were extremely heavy topics such as poverty and hunger, Ryan would not be bored. He was not born. The kind of wealthy people know how difficult and terrible the bottom of this world is.


    "By the way, Ryan." Taylor asked suddenly, "I heard you won''t be in the third part of "Transformers"?"


    "Yes." Ryan nodded, turned and walked towards the villa, "I have notified the Autobot Studio to modify the relevant settings."


    "what a shame."


    That''s what Taylor said, but Taylor didn''t mean to be a pity, "The "Transformers 2" released in the summer file will be the last Transformers live-action movie you starred in."


    As the summer season gets closer, commercial films launched by major companies have also entered a relatively busy publicity period. Disney will have "Iron Man 2", "Robot Walle", "Madagascar 2" and "Transformers 2" this summer. Waiting for many major productions to be released.


    In addition, Disney''s films try to avoid September and October, two months when the financial crisis is most likely to erupt. In order to prevent the film from becoming a burial object on Wall Street.


    The current April does not belong to Disney. Twentieth Century Fox¡¯s animated feature film "Houghton and the Anonymous" swept the animation film market, and Sony Columbia¡¯s "Feasting and Killing Night" and "Winning Las Vegas" dominated the market for three consecutive weeks. North American box office rankings. Almost let Sony dominate the North American film market in April.


    "The King of Kung Fu" released by Lionsgate was also selected for release this month. The film slightly swept the decline of Kung Fu movies in Hollywood. Relatively good results have been achieved, which is also related to the film''s strategy. In order to please the North American market, a white American was specially selected as the absolute protagonist. Perhaps the audience on the other side of the Pacific will inevitably have strange ideas after watching it.


    As for the booing heads of the two ¡®Kung Fu King¡¯ duel, there is not much attraction here, after all, this is North America. Rather than on the other side of the Pacific.


    Entering May, "Iron Man 2" was the first to land in North American theaters. The film continued the fine tradition of Disney''s commercial masterpieces in recent years-super bad professional reputation and super good audience market.


    Amidst criticism from film critics, "Iron Man 2" received US$131.54 million from North America on the first three days. In just ten days, the film¡¯s North American box office easily exceeded US$210 million.


    Film critics don''t like it, but they can''t stop the audience from paying for it. What''s more, the current film critics are declining. Many of them have been terminated by the original paper media and can only post comments through blogs or Facebook.


    And "Robot Walli", which was unanimously praised by film critics. The trend of opening high and going low is unusually obvious. After landing in North America with 3,992 cinema chains at the end of May, the company received $63.08 million on the first Wednesday. The next week¡¯s direct dive was close to 50%, and only $32.5 million was accounted for.


    Perhaps this result is not bad, but for Pixar Studios, which has repeatedly surpassed 300 million North American box office for animated feature films, this result is far below estimates.


    According to the later box office trends, the North American box office of "Robot Walle" is about 220 million US dollars at most. As the protagonist in the film, Walle is not very pleasing to children, which seriously affects the surrounding market, although it will not win. Word of mouth. It lost the market, but Disney could not expect to get back a total of 300 million US dollars in investment at the box office. Repayment can only rely on the follow-up peripheral accumulation slowly.


    Tell the story, but ignore the market. There have been countless such films in the past. Fortunately, Pixar Studios, under Ryan''s reminder, has realized that they have begun to appear cold.


    As a typical Hollywood business company, both Ryan and Disney do not need "Shawshank''s Redemption" for consecutive years of losses, and can only wait for the film to be renamed later. The Orion company of UU Read back then is a typical example. , Produced numerous high-reputation films such as "Dancing with Wolves" and "The Silent Lambs", but they could only go bankrupt.


    When the time entered July, the North American box office of "Iron Man 2" that was criticized by countless film critics approached 300 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office easily exceeded 600 million U.S. dollars; "Robot Walle" was still at the North American box office. Struggling near more than US$200 million, the global box office has slowly passed the US$350 million mark.


    No one can deny that "Robot Walli" has a good story, but they also have to admit that it will be the second-worst work of Pixar Action Studio in the world after "Cars" in the new century.


    The difference is that the latter¡¯s surroundings are hot, bringing Disney US$2 billion in derivative income, while the former¡¯s surroundings are really unpleasant and can only look forward to the DVD video tape and online on-demand market.


    The July holiday is the hot screening time for North American super productions, and "Transformers 2" was selected to be released on the day before.


    Film critics are eager to repay the insults they received after "Transformers". (To be continued)

 Chapter 796： Advertise the correctness of art

    The click of the camera shutter sounded continuously, and the hustle and bustle of hundreds of reporters and paparazzi drowned the live music, but it was suppressed by the shouts of countless fans uniting together. Those crazy fans, holding Optimus Prime and Megatron aloft Tian¡¯s poster to express love and support for this series.


    The entire state of Rhode Island seemed to be caught in the madness of Transformers, and Hasbro''s toys completely ruled the night.


    This is the world premiere of "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen King". Starting tomorrow, the film will appear on big screens in 114 countries and regions around the world.


    Ryan and others walked to the front of the theater a long time ago, leaving the last most beautiful moment to Michael Bay.


    Bombshell, wearing a decent suit, took the heroine of the film-the protagonist of the third part-Alexandra Ambrosio onto the red carpet, and those Michael Bay fans were almost crazy about it.


    "Michael Bay-the world needs you to save!"


    This is a slogan from the supporters of Boom Bay. How much professional film critics hate Michael Bay, these people love him just as much.


    No one can deny that the vast majority of viewers in this world go to the cinema to pursue pure happiness-to watch it well, and to spend money.


    Michael Becha has done a great job in the audience experience. He knows how to attract mainstream moviegoers.


    If there are so many people who hate Michael Bay, there are definitely more people who like his film style than people who hate him.


    "You suck, but we love you so much!"


    Bombshell¡¯s self-deprecating words were also written on posters by many fans.


    "Look at it, Michael."


    When Bombshell came here to take a group photo, Ryan motioned to him the crazy fans, "Look how much they love you."


    "How much do they like me."


    In front of others. Bang Bang is also a superb director, but in front of Ryan, he doesn''t mind making fun of himself. "Those film critics hate me so much."


    "It''s us who hate!"


    Alexandra Ambrosio approached, and the Miss Gao who was pulled by the agent stood on both sides of Ryan and Michael Bay. A group photo facing the reporter''s camera lens.


    "If I switch to making a literary film."


    Probably it was recently stimulated by the criticism from film critics. When Michael Bay took a photo, he never forgot to tease himself, "Will those film critics cheer for me?"


    "Michael, do you care about the evaluation of a group of only 300 people in North America." Ryan pointed to the enthusiastic fans gathered outside. "Or do you care about the preferences of hundreds of millions of other people?"


    "I think everyone knows the final answer."


    He shrugged indifferently, followed Ryan, and walked into the theater.


    Starting from "Pearl Harbor", Michael Bay did mess up a few movies. But critics criticizing him and his films have become politically correct to advertise art, and they seem to give him a slightly better comment. These so-called savvy guys will have blemishes that cannot be erased in their careers.


    In fact, the underside of these art-flavored guys is not as clean as Bombshell. There are countless messy things that they hook up with Hollywood companies and movie stars.


    Of course, Ryan admitted that he was not clean, and Jenkins Pictures did not pay a public relations fee for the film¡¯s reputation and box office.


    Every era has the rules of the game for every era, just like Hollywood abandoning those film critics nowadays.


    The red carpet ceremony is over. The fans gathered outside the theater gradually dispersed, and those who can get tickets to the premiere will undoubtedly become the lucky ones.


    Irene is one of them. He made a special trip from New Orleans to Rhode Island to participate in the premiere, even if it was only a day earlier than the others.


    The premiere theater was packed. Although it was just sitting in a not-so-good position at the back, the imax screen was large enough to not affect the viewing effect.


    Like all premieres, the organizer has a small routine, and then the film officially kicked off, and the buzzing voices around suddenly disappeared.


    The screen just lights up. The sound full of metal texture reached Irun''s ears, and he immediately recalled how he felt when he watched the first part. It was a feeling of excitement.


    Well, he admits that the first part of the story is very poor. But watching this kind of movie, the connotation and so on, let''s throw it behind my head.


    He is ready to soar adrenaline!


    There is no such boring thing as the prologue, the film goes directly to the subject. With the introduction of Optimus Prime, some Decepticons seem to be building a metal pyramid, and the leader in it looks weird and does not seem to be a good thing.


    Is this the evil force mentioned by Optimus Prime in the first part?


    Seeing this, Irun immediately remembered the plot of the first episode, remembering that behind the Decepticon leader Megatron, there is a bigger one. According to the habit of filming a sequel, it is his turn to play.


    Also, how about Sonic, Horizontal Cannon, Robot Dog, and Arcie? What about the opening battle? Did Michael Bay give up his style? This is not a good phenomenon, and I am not watching a drama.


    Irun felt that his fiery heart was about to cool down. The picture changed and came to China Shanghai with subtitles. The US military was moving quickly.


    He did not feel wrong. It seemed that it was only natural for American soldiers to appear on Chinese soil, and the people around did not react too much. He was obviously accustomed to the role of the US military''s world police.


    Of course, in addition to the US military, there is another group of troops in action. Obviously this is a joint operation of two countries.


    Then, Irun saw what he wanted to see, a Decepticon deformed, and fiercely exchanged fire with the human forces. The bullets flew all the way, missiles fired indiscriminately, and the flames of the explosion continued to soar, as if it were happening in front of his eyes.


    This is Michael Bay. Even if Ilan knows that he is an expert in doing this, he still can''t help but surprise and sigh for these explosions. There are really few directors in Hollywood who can achieve such a degree of visual effects.


    Ryan really picked the right director.


    Ironhide and the ambulance joined the battle. The Decepticons couldn''t resist it and immediately fled.


    On the other side, Arcie was chasing down the wing. The three-stage shape of Arcie was gorgeous, but it seemed a pity that the combat effectiveness was not strong.


    Just when Irene was thinking about it, Arcie suddenly deformed, and the three pieces were put together. With the iconic deformation sound, she merged into a taller female robot...


    "Wow~"


    A clear exclamation sound came from all around. Is this a surprise prepared by Ryan and Michael Bay?


    It was indeed a pleasant surprise, and Yilun also admitted that this process of transforming and fitting into one body simply rounded out his regret after watching the first part.


    However, he was not satisfied, because he knew that Hercules would appear in this movie!


    The side road was eventually cut into two by a horizontal cannon. Although the Audi logo clearly reminded that this was an embedded advertisement, the high-quality special effects pictures were hard to be disgusting.


    The escaping Transformers was stopped by Optimus Prime. Seeing Optimus Prime descending from the sky with a parachute, Irun had another regret. Why didn''t Optimus Prime fly?


    Ryan and Michael Bay have performed so many operations on this series, can''t they give Optimus Prime the ability to fly?


    "The Fallen King Kong will make a comeback!"


    Hearing what the Decepticon said before his death, Irun remembered the subtitle of the film. It seemed that the villain of this movie was the Fallen King Kong.


    The title battle is not long, only ten minutes, but it is very enjoyable, and it easily attracts the audience to continue watching.


    Some people don¡¯t think so. Just two rows away from Irene, the film critic jr? Jones is writing something on a small notebook while watching. He is a member of the Chicago Film Critics Association and has not received the host. Fang¡¯s invitation, but through various relationships, got the admission ticket for the premiere.


    Unlike ordinary fans, he came to provoke him.


    However, Jones is not stupid. He knows things like Mingzhe to protect himself. Before entering the theater, he has found the target of the attack, that is, the film itself and the director Michael Bay, and he will definitely not be like the old confused Roger Albert. In that way, go directly to provoke giants like Disney and Ryan Jenkins.


    For the beginning, he only wrote one sentence-unrestrained show off stunts!


    Can these people tell a complete story?


    Jones shook his head. It''s not that he disagrees with the use of special effects in the film, but what is the point of so many messy explosions and changing distortions? It does nothing to deepen the theme of the movie at all.


    Just like Spielberg''s "Saving Private Ryan", why do Hollywood blockbusters always include a title battle that is not very helpful to the main idea of ??the film?


    If you ask the director and the producer, 99% of the answers will be almost the same-this will attract most of the audience to watch!


    Two years have passed since the last Transformers War. Sam''s Stanford University was in the summer vacation. He returned to the small town of Valencia and met Michaela, who was a little together, to start their overseas travel plan.


    Mixed with the mischief of the bumblebee, and crying like a child, the character of this Autobot is obviously more naive than the first one.


    It''s a pity Sam and Mikaela accepted the invitation of Gao Ling, who used to work in the second-hand car market, to plan to travel with Sam to Shanghai. They definitely can''t bring Bumblebee. It''s just that when Sam goes home and prepares to pack, From the old clothes that he wore two years ago, a fragment of the fire source fell, and then countless unfamiliar text messages were transmitted to his brain.


    Before the shard fell, he wrapped it up in clothes, carefully packed it, and flew to Los Angeles International Airport to the far east.


    Shang Hai?


    Irene frowned, remembering that this was the city where the war broke out at the beginning of the film?


    Does the main battlefield of the film leave North America? His brows tightened, and to be honest, he didn''t have much interest outside of North America.


    However, the beginning of the film still left a certain impression on him. It seems that it is also an international metropolis. Will Sam and Michaela meet the Decepticons there? (To be continued)

 Chapter 797： Damn Michael Bay

    "What are you writing about?"


    As soon as he walked out of the airplane terminal, Michaela pointed to a magazine that Sam was holding and asked, "Which country''s writing is this?"


    "I don''t know." Sam shook his head. "They... they suddenly appeared in my brain."


    Michaela didn''t say anything, and dialed the phone of his former friend Gao Ling, "Hey, we are here, where are you? Come pick us up..."


    The screen is switched. In the distant outer space, sound waves suddenly appeared and invaded human communication satellites. They easily found the locations of Sam and Michaela. At the same time, they intercepted the call between Optimus Prime and the White House envoy, and learned that the US military still has A piece of fire source fragment.


    The film is still advancing in a multi-line way. Sam and Michaela meet Gao Ling, and in the auto repair shop where each other works, they catch the runner who wants to steal the debris, and then check into the Toy Story theme hotel...


    This is simply a big collection of advertisements. With Sam''s itinerary, the trademarks of many brands such as ct, Audi, and Disneyland changed back and forth.


    "In order to sell ads, there is no lower limit!"


    Professional film critic jr? Jones wrote this sentence viciously in the record book, and this episode has the urge to leave.


    He looked around and found that the audience was not in a play.


    This group of idiots with no artistic vision! He snorted disdainfully.


    There are indeed a lot of advertisements, but Irene doesn¡¯t find it boring, because most of the time, Michaela and the Asian actor are showing off their coquettish style and figure, frankly speaking, Alexandra Ambo, a lingerie model. Luo Xiu can really easily provoke moving hormones.


    Although the Asian actress does not meet his aesthetic standards, she is also unique.


    "Wow~"


    He suddenly opened his mouth slightly because he saw the robot dog.


    "This is so much better than the appearance in the cartoon. What is it vomiting? It turned out to be a metal bead that can be assembled! The American soldiers are really a bunch of idiots, so the Decepticons stole the pieces!"


    Due to the quiet movie-watching atmosphere around, Irun just thought while watching. Without saying anything, he widened his eyes and watched Megatron resurrected and flew back to the ruined Cybertron to see Starscream and the weakened version of Decepticons he had cultivated that lacked energy.


    Then, the Fallen King Kong appeared, and it was indeed the evil robot at the beginning of the film.


    Megatron and Starscream have assembled a new army of Decepticons. Although most of them are weak versions, they are better than crowded and rusty. It seems that the two-year undersea career has been weakened a lot.


    His idea was quickly confirmed.


    Megatron and Starscream returned to the earth to find Sam again, and the helicopter with the deformed surfboard directly grabbed them, flew over the seemingly completed Shanghai Disneyland, and threw them into the abandoned factory.


    From here, Ellen finally understood what the words that appeared in Sam¡¯s mind were. That was the coordinates of the key to the machine built by the Fallen King Kong-the leadership module. It turned out that the Decepticons wanted to destroy the sun a long time ago. Collect energy.


    A very vulgar routine is to save the world.


    However, Irene was not disappointed. What could be more interesting than saving the earth and saving the universe?


    bored! Rotten vulgar! Routine!


    Jr? Jones wrote these in the notebook again and again, he looked around, the people were still watching attentively, and suddenly there was an urge to stand up and shout loudly-what is so good about this vulgar thing. Hurry up and exit together!


    Although he had such an impulse, he still suppressed it forcibly. The actor who was just saved by Optimus Prime in the film couldn''t be offended even by all the film critics. He didn''t want to become Roger Albert, abandoned by the paper media and TV stations one after another, and became a retired old man without any attention.


    There was a slight noise of "Prickly~". Jr Jones''s pen scratched his notebook, and he yelled at Michael Bay for his unrestrained ethics and no lower limit. Could this placement advertisement be more obvious? Optimus Prime and Megatron fought a battle at the entrance of Shanghai Disneyland! He vaguely remembered that Disneyland was about to open!


    Michael Bay is definitely a shame in the film industry!


    This is Jones¡¯s idea, but the audience next to them don¡¯t think so. Fighting always requires a battlefield. In a city far away in the east, the familiar Disneyland background easily eliminates the previous sense of strangeness, and easily allows them to enter the battle. in.


    "Megatron is really weak!"


    Looking at the Decepticon leader who was repeatedly beaten by Optimus Prime, Iren thought, "The last Megatron was not only seriously wounded and killed, but also spent two years on the bottom of the high pressure and low temperature, even if it was fragments of the fire source. To resurrect him, his strength will definitely suffer. They are not robots, but high-level beings like human beings..."


    Just thinking of this, Yilun lost all thoughts and devoted himself to the battle of the film.


    What a four-horse battle!


    Optimus Prime once again turned into a damage thief, and singled out the three major Decepticons of Megatron, Starscream and Surfboard. He easily kicked Megatron, cut off the arm of the surfboard, and threw Starscream upside down. On the ground, kicked his mouth full of steel teeth.


    Finally, Optimus Prime turned over and turned into a long hook, tearing the surfboard''s head abruptly.


    This slow motion is extremely real and full of visual impact!


    "!"


    In the end, Irun didn''t hold back, and yelled softly, and there were intermittent voices around him.


    However, the hormonal surge caused by the war in the theater has not disappeared, and the picture has dealt a huge blow to everyone!


    Optimus Prime, who cared about Sam''s safety, was attacked by Megatron. The fire in his chest exploded into fireballs, smashing the Disneyland signboard, and crashing to the ground.


    "!"


    This is the cry of Optimus Prime!


    "!"


    This is Sam''s cry!


    "!"


    This is the cry of Irun!


    "!"


    This is the shouts of the surrounding audience!


    Optimus Prime... is dead? Optimus Prime... is dead!


    "!!! Michael? Bay..."


    Suddenly, Irun felt that his chest was blocked by something, and his eyes were also moist. Why is Optimus Prime dying! Why let Optimus Prime die? Damn Michael Bay!


    If Michael Bay is in front of him, he will grab the opponent''s neck and shout these words!


    "What?"


    The strange voices around kept ringing, "Why? Michael Bay..."


    The theater was full of voices swearing at Michael Bay, and it seemed that the explosion of Bayi had ruined the audience''s life and ideals.


    Irene felt that he would never have love anymore. With the death of Optimus Prime, his heart became empty. He swears that this is the last one he has watched...


    what?


    His energy was back on the big screen.


    Sam, Michaela, and Gao Ling were brought back to the headquarters by the lair troops. Sam mentioned the leadership module Megatron mentioned, which is a key to start any machine!


    Is it possible to start Optimus Prime? It must be so!


    It was at this time that Ilan thought of the trailer, in which the scene of the battle between Optimus Prime and the Fallen King Kong has never appeared, which means that Optimus Prime, like Megatron, will definitely be resurrected!


    What I just said doesn¡¯t count, what I just said doesn¡¯t count...


    He muttered in his heart that if there is another one in this series, he will definitely enter the theater!


    Like other Hollywood blockbusters, the White House is always stupid and likes to betray your compatriots. The Pentagon and the American soldiers are in good order. Faced with the threat of Megatron, the White House actually wants to hand over Sam, and Colonel Lenlocks let the Hornet. With the brakes and mudguards, the three of Sam escaped from the US military base.


    The Fallen King Kong brought the five members of Hercules and other Decepticon forces onto the stage. As soon as it landed on the earth, it overturned the USS Washington aircraft carrier!


    Big explosion! big occasion! It''s really refreshing to look at!


    As expected of Michael Bay! Ryan really picked the right director!


    Yilun sighed again, he believed that the people around him had the same opinions.


    "The narrative ability is getting worse and worse, the story is perfunctory, the characters are facialized, and there are a lot of logical loopholes!"


    Holding back the disgust in my heart, jr Jones was paddling on the record book again, looking at the surrounding audience in amazement, he shook his head, his heart was full of disdain-a group of people as vulgar as Michael Bay!


    In Michael Bay¡¯s films, there will always be "vulgar and disgusting" plots in the eyes of film critics. For example, the scene of escaping in the middle is constantly sweeping the **** and buttocks of two female characters, such as the retired agent Simmons specially found by Sam. Appearing is for fun, such as the cushion umbrella that appears behind Skyfire''s **** like farting, such as the loyal former Decepticon runner holding Michaela''s legs...


    These are in addition to the tense robot wars, which brought quite interesting jokes to the audience. From the pleasant laughter that the theater initiates from time to time, it can also be seen that the audience is buying it.


    There are also the brakes and mudguards, the Autobot twins, which came out for fun.


    Every actor has his own unsuitable side Ryan is not suitable for taking the funny route, especially after he became an adult, he has never acted in a real comedy, even if he added a **** clip about Sam, The audience will not buy it, but will cause dissatisfaction with his massive fans.


    He played Sam with a stronger character, and he always believed that the leadership module could save Optimus Prime. He did not hesitate to pay any price for this, and he was sent by the sky fire to the desert of Egypt...


    Of course, after going through hardships and dangers, he got the leadership module, even if it was a leadership module that was intact after tens of thousands of years.


    As a result, several lines came together again, and Lenrocks'' team took Autobots and Optimus Prime to Egypt. After being monitored by the sound wave, Megatron also took the team to Egypt.


    The Autobots, Decepticons, and the U.S. Army''s land, sea and air forces will begin their final battle in ancient Egypt!


    Almost suffocated in the theater, Irun clenched his fist tightly, and kept chanting in his heart-revive, my Optimus Prime! (To be continued...)

 Chapter 798： Madman born to explode

    "This is... Is this Hercules?"


    On the big screen, seven engineering vehicles were grouped together in an imax panoramic display, and Yilun''s eyes widened in shock, "This is too ugly, right? That big mouth is too scary, and...Hercules What does the pair of iron **** hanging between the legs mean?"


    Vulgar...


    Even if he knew Michael Bay''s style a long time ago, Ilan still gnawed his teeth. This is simply no limit to vulgarity.


    Fortunately, it is the Asian actress and former agent Simmons who stayed here, as well as the funny brakes and mudguards, otherwise Ryan would appear in such a vulgar scene, it would be a nightmare.


    Then, Irene found that the scene where Ryan appeared was not much better. He led the big breasted hot girl running in the flames, and appeared once, again and again...


    Ryan is correct not to appear in the third part!


    Irene shook his head. Although the visual effect of the film is amazing and beautiful, it is becoming more and more vulgar, and obviously no longer suitable for Ryan''s style.


    A lot of vulgar content is in harmony with the placement of advertisements, such as the big-breasted hot girl Alexandra Ambrosio running in the flames, and her **** buttocks should be lifted when lying down and hiding; for example, the transformers are hanging from the bottom of the body. Two steel eggs dangling...


    Hello~ You are not making a B-level film, you are making a billion-dollar production joined by a superstar. You don''t need to use these low-level things at all, okay?


    At this moment, there are countless audiences shouting in their hearts, Michael Bay is really bad!


    Similarly, the battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons, the Decepticons and the lair troops in the film made them hooked.


    The dazzling sports footage, sharp editing style, and popular special effects scenes instantly stimulate the audience''s hormones. In the scenes of several explosion scenes, the flames were faintly seen rushing up to an altitude of 300 feet.


    The audience knows that Michael Bay is on top of the explosion. It has always been on-site shooting, which shows that an explosion of this magnitude has also occurred in actual shooting. He is simply a madman born to explode!


    There are also a large number of Ryan fans who felt heartache. Ryan ran around in the explosion and continued to take care of a big breasted hot girl. God blessed him if he was not injured. Ryan will still not cooperate with Michael Bay in the future. , Otherwise they might hear the news of Ryan''s injury someday.


    Explosions are unlikely to occur one after another, after all, it is easy to cause visual fatigue, which is mixed with a lot of scenes of fighting between Transformers. For example, brakes and mudguards against Hercules, for example, the Hornet killed the robot dog that stopped Sam, for example, the US military killed many Decepticons...


    The Pentagon¡¯s special liaison officer also participated in the premiere. He saw that the nest special forces and the Marine Corps brought down Decepticons one after another with the advanced weapons in his hands. He nodded with satisfaction. This time the crew was very powerful. The image of the US military is so good that it can¡¯t be better. The Department of Defense can fully consider increasing its sponsorship in the third part.


    Attentive audiences will find out. Almost all the Decepticons killed by the U.S. military looked the same. They were clearly the weak ones without a name, and the Decepticons with names and surnames. Almost all were killed by Autobots such as Ironhide, Horizontal Cannon, and Arce.


    Then, the audience was shocked again.


    The destroyer Kidd used the legendary railgun to blast away the Hercules who destroyed the pyramid!


    Is this too ridiculous? Irene has poked his lips. It''s not a secret that the crew accepts the Pentagon''s sponsorship, but it''s too much to openly clean the ground for the military, right?


    In the next moment, the audience felt much better. Hercules was just broken up and rolled down from the pyramid, not dead.


    This is in line with the setting of the movie, Transformers are not invincible!


    It''s just that the two human characters and the funny Autobot twins here are caught in a dilemma of being besieged by the members of Hercules.


    "I have been a film director for more than ten years. Michael Bay''s tricks are still the same."


    Eyes swept across the faces of the obsessed audience, and Jr Jones was scratching the notebook unconsciously.


    "Abuse of slow motion. Abuse of wide-angle, abuse of explosions. Endless explosions, drug dealers killed the police and exploded, clones also exploded, and the US insurgents exploded. Aliens still exploded. Everyone should explode at all times. !"


    This is as disgusting as popcorn with too much oil!


    Seeing Sam, who had experienced an earth-shattering explosion on the big screen and hadn''t died, walked towards Optimus Prime, Jr Jones couldn''t help it anymore, he stood up and prepared to leave early.


    "Hey, do you have a sense of ethics?" There was a voice immediately behind, "This is the key plot, don''t file the screen."


    "Hehehe..."


    The person next to him was dissatisfied, "Do you know that this will make people play? Do you understand the basic courtesy of watching movies?"


    "A play?" jr Jones couldn''t help but said, "Is it just such a bad movie?"


    "Hey, what are you talking about?"


    The person on the other side of him looked over, "If you don''t like it, don''t come in."


    "Yes," the person behind continued, "wasted a premiere spot for nothing."


    "Do you know how many people are in a hurry for a premiere ticket?" Someone said, "Go, go, don''t delay our movie."


    In a ridicule, jr Jones walked to the exit. He looked back at the theater. The audience was watching the ridiculous and vulgar film seriously, feeling that the world was really sad.


    All people are vulgar, degenerate, and they can''t distinguish between the good and the bad of the movie, and only our group still maintains a clever vision and an artistic mind.


    More than 400 million people in North America are all fools, and only 300 film critics are smart people in the film industry.


    With this idea, jr Jones, a well-known film critic from the Chicago Film Critics Association, did not finish watching "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen King" and left early.


    However, his exit did not arouse the resentment of the surrounding audience, and did not cause any storms.


    "Optimus Prime, get up!"


    Sam shouted at the weak Autobot leader, "Get up! They will destroy the sun! Stop them!"


    Optimus Prime, who had just been resurrected and suffered a heavy blow from the Fallen King Kong, was unable to get up. It seemed that his last death had consumed all the energy in his fire!


    "Get up! Optimus Prime!"


    Clenching his fists, Irun bit his teeth and tried not to shout, "Get up! Optimus Prime! You are our idol, you must not fall! Keep fighting!"


    "!"


    The person next to him suddenly yelled, and more voices sounded around, "!"


    "Optimus Prime, use my body, you will have a powerful force that you will never think of. In order to complete your mission..."


    Skyfire took down his own core and committed suicide, and Optimus Prime combined Skyfire''s body and body into a strengthened weapon on his body with the help of a swing and an ambulance.


    Optimus Prime has therefore become the Skyfire Optimus Prime with powerful power and weapons!


    I don''t know who slapped the palms first, and there was thunderous applause in the theater, which shows Optimus Prime''s position in the hearts of movie fans.


    The Fallen King Kong moved the stone to surround the pyramid and knocked down all the f-16s, but the flying Skyfire Optimus Prime smashed the stone and slammed into the Fallen King Kong.


    Optimus Prime can finally fly! One of Iren''s wish was fulfilled.


    Fallen King Kong and Megatron were both knocked down the pyramid, and Skyfire Optimus Prime immediately smashed the sun destroying device with a cannon in his right hand.


    What''s very unfavorable is that Optimus Prime and Fallen King Kong fell into the middle of the members of Hercules, and Megatron and Starscream came afterwards, and Optimus Prime was once again surrounded.


    "You won''t die again, will you?"


    Irene is a little worried, except for Optimus Prime and Megatron, he doesn''t care much about the life and death of other characters.


    The horizontal cannon, ironhide, bumblebee, and Arcie scattered around at this time rushed over, and the Autobots and the Decepticons started a big melee.


    Optimus Prime once again picked three. His opponents were Megatron, Starscream and Fallen King Kong, but what was different from the last time was that he became stronger after being combined with Skyfire, and his firepower was even more fierce.


    The fallen steel hit the skyfire Optimus Prime, but Optimus Prime used a cannon to shoot it out. Megatron sneaked from behind, but Optimus Prime grabbed his hand and shattered half of his face with a fusion cannon. He was severely injured and he could only ask for help from Starscream, who was sly and insidious and refused to fight easily.


    "Don''t die! Don''t die!" Irun prayed inwardly, he also didn''t want to see Megatron fall down again.


    As if he heard his voice, Optimus Prime in the film rushed towards the Fallen King Kong. He was too powerful after being combined. The attack like a ruin made the Fallen King Kong almost impossible to fight back. This kind of crushing blow. It also makes people excited.


    In the end, Optimus Prime removed the mask of the fallen King Kong and shattered the opponent''s armor with one blow, crushing the ancient and evil fire.


    "I''m not trying to persuade you to be a coward, but a coward can often survive."


    Under Starscream''s persuasion, Megatron and him fled in a panic, leaving only one sentence¡ªthis is not over yet!


    The battle on the other side also went into intense heat The brakes and fenders were the first to hang up, and the iron and horizontal guns eliminated the overload and runaway. Arcie was seriously injured lying on the ground dying, and the number of Autobots was not dominant. Completely at a disadvantage.


    However, the addition of Optimus Prime quickly changed all of this. He rushed to the sky and swept across, with his right hand gun and left hand knife, as if to chop melons and vegetables, and in a surprise attack, he easily managed the last few members of Hercules.


    The battle was over, the Decepticons were annihilated except Megatron and Starscream, and the U.S. Army and Autobots suffered heavy casualties.


    It''s the wide-angle lens that Michael Bay used well again. In the beautiful picture of dusk and sunset, the hero and the heroine will inevitably kiss together.


    "Our race has come together because of the forgotten past, and we are working together to face the future. I am Optimus Prime. I am here to make an initiative to let this history pass on..."


    With the regular Optimus Prime speech, the 122-minute "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen King" completely came to an end. (To be continued) r466

 Chapter 799： A super blockbuster worth the price

    Read the domain name of this site online in plain text; Please visit for synchronous reading on mobile phone


    "Michael Bay doesn''t care about your soul, he only cares about your pockets! But he at least guarantees that you will feel exhausted when you get home, and will not feel that the money has been spent a little bit wrongly. This is a fair deal."


    This sentence that appeared on the American Salon website can be said to be the most appropriate evaluation of Michael Bay and "Transformers 2".


    The film concentrates a lot of explosions, fighting, and destruction. The audience has never seen such a crazy scene in a theater. It has a great impact on vision and hearing. After watching it, it feels exhausted.


    "Now you can watch movies everywhere at home and on the Internet. Why can you attract people to the theater and watch your movies exclusively?"


    This is what Michael Bay said in an interview. It just reflects the current situation of the film industry. There are more and more entertainment methods, and the channels for watching movies are becoming more and more diversified. And movies full of visual effects are only available on the big screen. The best results can be experienced only when they are up.


    In a sense, Michael Bay understands the audience well.


    "Michael knows what the audience likes because he is also a member of the audience. He has a good feeling, knows what makes people excited, and knows what movies the public likes."


    As one of the film''s producers, Jerry Bruckheimer''s evaluation of the bombshell is quite pertinent.


    "Noisy", "Stupid", "Evil", "Unbearable", "Incurable Garbage Disposer"?????? If you don¡¯t like Michael Bay¡¯s movies, you don¡¯t use all kinds of vicious words For too much.


    But how can Michael Bay make most of the audience in the world go crazy? Why can big directors like Simon West and Tony Scott line up to buy a ticket for the just-released "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen King"?


    On the surface, all of Michael Bay¡¯s movies use his signature killer, and they are very similar-endless scenes of explosions, deafening noises, dangerous chases and fights, destruction of coordinated buildings around the world, and Mixed with gags that Americans love to hear.


    Actually. The most important sign of the Bang Bang movie is the dazzling fast editing.


    "It only takes a few seconds to watch a movie. You can tell that it came from Michael Bay. There is no doubt that he influenced the visual language of contemporary Hollywood mainstream commercial blockbusters."


    As someone who has worked together several times. Steven Spielberg knows Michael Bay very well.


    The editing of sci-fi action movies is like making a puzzle maze. Every screen transition should have its logic, but Michael Bay does not need this logic. He believes that the continuity of action energy can replace logic.


    He is good at capturing mid-range shots, blending upward angles to create an exciting feeling, and then quickly editing and configuring the lens to give the audience a feeling of being in battle.


    These are perfectly reflected in "Transformers 2". It made the audience crazy and boiling, and even they ignored the existence of superstars like Ryan in the film.


    "Whether it is the popularity of the action scenes, the richness of the plot content, and the density of interspersed jokes, it will greatly exceed your expectations."


    After the premiere, Irene did not leave Rhode Island immediately. Instead, he was preparing to participate in a Transformers global fan event held by Hasbro. After receiving a call from a friend asking about the film, he said, "If you If your appetite for the film is a beef burger, then the film will serve you a whole beef pizza, on the basis of ensuring that your appetite is satisfied. It does not rule out the possibility of making you eat it."


    "But the film critic said..." The other party hesitated on the phone, "The film is noise pollution plus visual garbage plus vulgar plot."


    "This is a film made sincerely for fans." Yilun said calmly, "Those who want to dig out something like a professional film critic can give up."


    "Then I can rest assured." The friend was about to hang up. "I''m going to book tickets now."


    Hung up the phone, Irun thought for a while, turned on the computer in the room, logged on to the Rotten Tomatoes website, and found the newly released "Transformers 2" section, clicked to log in, and saw that the film was thrown up by professional film critics. Tomato, only the first day it was officially released, fell to 25% freshness.


    Those film reviews are even more unsightly.


    "Even if this film is fair. It''s just the most boring, rude, and despicable portrayal of modern Hollywood."


    "This "Transformers 2" is simply a pile of litter."


    "Transformers 2 can definitely win the''worst movie in ten years''."


    "Alessandra Ambrosio''s **** and cleavage are the only places where Michael Bay''s lens can stay longer than 1 millisecond."


    As expected by Irene, professional film critics began to criticize again. But the sound is weak, that is, he barely entertains himself.


    Turn off Rotten Tomatoes, which has little effect on the box office of the movie. He switched to Ryan-Disney Home Online, where there have been a large number of fan comments in the "Transformers" section.


    "Watching a very cool movie."


    "Transformers 2 further proves that director Michael Bay has an excellent appreciation for grand scenes and a talent for creating surprises. Ryan is absolutely wise to choose him as the director."


    "The film brings together all the most popular advantages of popcorn movies, and enlarges them one by one toward the most significant goal possible. It does not deliberately avoid the advantages that have been fully recognized and affirmed because of innovation. This creative idea of ??maximizing strengths and avoiding weaknesses, Ultimately, it is guaranteed that "Transformers 2" will become one of the few sequels that can be better than the famous predecessor in terms of overall quality."


    "The whole film is full of earth-shattering explosions, full-fire attacks, heart-piercing screams, special effects at any cost, and dizzying action scenes. The various elements necessary for the popcorn entertainment blockbuster are fully displayed. "King Kong 2" is a super blockbuster movie worth the price."


    In less than a day, the number of comments here exceeded 100,000. Most of them expressed their love for the film. People who reflected that the quality of the film was average and believed that the film was done on the Transformers column. It¡¯s good enough to be worth the price of the movie.


    After attending the premiere, Ryan flew back to Los Angeles from Rhode Island. At his insistence, the length of the release version of the film was finally reduced to two hours by Michael Bay. Some of them were cancelled just for fun. With funny content, the rhythm becomes more compact.


    Michael Bay¡¯s previous failed films are not unrelated to being too long.


    You know, Bombshell never mind making the movie extremely lengthy. In 2001, "Pearl Harbor" was 183 minutes long, and "Jedi Men 2" in 2003 was just a street action movie with a city background. It can shoot for 143 minutes, and perhaps only God knows how many cut-outs were edited by Michael Bay after repeated gritting his teeth.


    This is very easy to slow down the rhythm and make the audience feel tired.


    Time slowly reached midnight, and Ryan didn¡¯t mean to go to bed. He was waiting for the film¡¯s first day of box office. After all, the cost of the entire film alone was as high as 210 million U.S. dollars, even because of the first big fire. , The publicity can save a lot of money, but the publicity cost is also a full 90 million US dollars.


    Such investment, even Ryan, will feel some pressure.


    The door of the study was pushed open from the outside, and Charlize in her dressing gown came over. She bent over and kissed the corner of Ryan''s mouth, pulled a chair, and sat next to him.


    "Isn''t the statistics available yet?" she asked concerned.


    "It should be soon." Ryan looked at the wall clock on the wall, and squeezed her cheek distressedly, "Why are you up? You have not been sleeping well recently, so rest early."


    "I just woke up and can''t sleep for the time being. I''ll wait with you for a while." Charlize took Ryan''s glass and drank nearly half a glass of water. "Every time there is a big production, you will be like this. Isn''t it stressful? Big?"


    "Not as big as you thought." Ryan took the cup that Charlize handed over and put it on the desk. "You know, more than 30 sponsors shared the cost of $90 million for Disney."


    "Yes." Charlize quizzed his lips quickly, "My ct Nature Treasure alone contributed $4.5 million, and the Autobot studio didn''t talk about emotions at all during the negotiations."


    "Honey." Ryan sorted out the scattered blonde hair for Charlize. "This is already a discounted price."


    "I understand." Charlize was obviously joking just now, "Business is business, and Disney has its own rules and regulations."


    She rolled her eyes, "Is it possible to maintain this price when the next one is implanted?"


    "You..." Ryan nodded her nose I will greet the people in the studio. "


    "The effect is obvious." Charlize put on a serious face, "Since the release of the implanted "Iron Man 2", the sales of ct Natural Treasures'' entire line of products have increased by 25%, although there is a summer vacation. However, the effect is still very obvious. My advertising director has recently reminded me to continue to cooperate in Disney¡¯s major productions."


    In the episode of "Transformers 2" in Shanghai, nearly two minutes were shot in the flagship store of ct Nature Treasures. It will definitely help the product''s future pulling effect.


    After chatting with Charlize a few more words, Ryan refreshed his mailbox, and a new email reminder finally appeared.


    "How many?"


    Charlize came over, watched Ryan click on the email, and then curled his lips. "It''s really disappointing. It didn''t break the single-day box office record of The Hunger Games 2."


    Glancing at Charlize, Ryan turned off the laptop, "$69.05 million is already pretty good!" (to be continued)

 Chapter 800： Hasbros price code

    Entering the office, jr? Jones handed the briefcase to the assistant casually, turned to the back of the desk, took a sip of a good-temperature coffee, and then turned on the laptop.


    "Black." He looked at the female assistant, "Is what I want ready?"


    "Ready, in the folder on your right."


    After answering, the female assistant hurriedly left the office. She understood that her boss¡¯s vision was very high, almost on top of her head. In the past so many years, any movie he didn¡¯t watch had a high box office and would always lose her temper. "Transformers 2 "The box office will definitely make him runaway, she doesn''t want to be a punching bag.


    Although knowing that he could only escape for a while, Blake did not hesitate to hide in his seat. Since the beginning of the new century, the boss''s temper has become more and more frequent, because he is not optimistic about Disney commercial movies and is always relaxed. He won a high box office, and his film reviews are almost no one pays attention.


    Thinking of the miserable income of the boss in the past year, Bo? no? wrong? Lake can''t help lamenting that his welfare is getting worse and worse, maybe it''s time for another industry.


    In the office, jr? Jones found a thin piece of printing paper on the first day of the North American box office and the world''s first day of "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen King".


    The North American box office was $69.05 million! The global box office is 185.66 million US dollars!


    This is the 24-hour record of "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen King".


    His hands shook slightly, and jr Jones patted the table again, swearing a few words starting with ¡±, his whole face was almost distorted, as if this could not vent his anger and unwillingness, his hands exerted force. , Tore the printing paper into two halves, and threw it on the ground severely.


    "!..."


    He felt anger burning in his chest, that movie was so bad. Obviously there is no connotation and depth, why do those idiots still buy tickets to see it?


    Is it true that all people in this world have fallen?


    Under the pressure of anger, jr? Jones opened his own online column. It was an article he published immediately after the premiere. It seemed to have no effect. If it was ten years ago, with their popularity, they would affect hundreds of people. Tens of thousands or even tens of millions of dollars in the box office is not too difficult.


    He remembered the treatment last night, movie tickets, round-trip air tickets and other expenses. It was all his own pockets. In the past, this was a necessary expense for the producer and distributor, and there was no way to talk about gifts. In the past, when a film of this size was released, he always received a minimum of five-figure. Checks, now these are all gone...


    "!"


    "Damn Disney! Damn Ryan Jenkins! Damn Transformers and Michael Bay!"


    In the curse in his heart, jr Jones entered the column. Although his influence is not as good as before, there are always some supporters. Every time a film appears, someone will reply below, whether it is to echo or counter the abuse, it always makes him feel that he has not been completely forgotten.


    "Although this year has not passed, I can say with certainty. As far as the movies that have been released now, "Transformers" 2 is definitely the worst and most disgusting. There is no one. It won the first place! This film Disgusting. What do you want in the summer file. He just packs and throws it out. Michael Bay doesn''t care about the quality and theme of the film at all, so I am very disappointed."


    "If you are worried about being late and missing the beginning of the story line-don''t worry. "Transformers" has no storyline, nothing at all; you can look at your watch and wait twenty-five minutes before you enter the venue."


    "Of course, if you are interested in summer has arrived and human beings are still in the estrus period of the primitive society in the spring, then you can still hurry in the first twenty-five minutes."


    "If you are going to see Alexandra Ambrosio, and you are a man, I have nothing to say. She has a very hot body, her face is not bad, and her pouting and kissing gestures are growing. It¡¯s really annoying to show off his **** and buttocks in front of the camera. I would rather watch a bulldog in heat-at least the bulldog is not concealing real needs, not fakes. climax¡­¡­"


    Eyes follow his comments all the way down. Jr Jones is still very satisfied with his film reviews. This can always bring some trouble to the movie, even if it affects thousands of people not entering the theater, it is also to Ryan Jenkins. Fight back.


    Last year, his agent had contacted Disney and expressed his desire to cooperate, but was strictly rejected by Disney¡¯s management. The reason Disney gave was simply unbearable¡ªthe critics were not worth it. The price paid.


    Jones pulled down the film reviews to the end and wanted to see the following netizens'' replies. Only when he saw that there were still people paying attention to his column, could he regain the feeling of the past, the feeling that film reviews determine the life and death of a movie.


    "What?"


    His eyes widened suddenly, as if seeing an incredible scene.


    The number of responses under the film reviews is zero, and the number of browses is a poor twenty-three, this...this is simply...


    Jones rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn''t believe what he saw. This film review has been published for more than 24 hours. Why is there lack of attention?


    However, the truth of the matter lies here, even if he shattered his eyes, those two vivid figures remind him-you are not interested!


    "boom!"


    The sound of a coffee cup smashing on the floor was heard in the room, and Black remembered it happened after "Iron Man 2" was released.


    Poor professional film critic...


    Not knowing why, this thought suddenly appeared in her mind.


    How much professional film critics hate "Transformers 2," and audiences like "Transformers 2". In just two days, the freshness of "Transformers 2" on the Rotten Tomatoes website that best reflects the tastes of film critics has been It''s down to 22%, but inversely proportional to the film''s box office numbers.


    After winning the North American box office of 69.05 million US dollars on the day of the holiday, "Transformers 2" won 45.68 million US dollars and 40.95 million US dollars on the following Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The first Wednesday in North America took 15568 million dollars. Ten thousand dollars, sitting on the throne of the North American box office leaderboard without any suspense.


    Although "Transformers 2" is not as crazy as last year''s "Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire" at the North American box office, it has shown a strong enough momentum.


    Five days at 235.88 million U.S. dollars, one week at 268.75 million U.S. dollars, 10 days to exceed 300 million U.S. dollars...


    In terms of global box office, in just five days, the global box office surpassed 400 million U.S. dollars. When the film was released all over the world for a week, the box office figure of 525.66 million U.S. dollars, announced to the world another super hit. The video appeared.


    It is almost inevitable that the film''s global box office will exceed 1 billion US dollars.


    In addition, various products related to Transformers are once again selling big, especially Hasbro''s Transformers toys. During the film''s hit period, sales increased by 440% compared to the same period last year.


    North America is the well-deserved first ticket store for "Transformers 2", and the renewed enthusiasm in China across the ocean has also surprised Disney and Hollywood.


    Although all the text related to Shang Hai in the film was clicked off by a certain big scissors, a considerable part of the plot of the film has already been fired up in China. In the Chinese trailer, the scenes of the Chinese actress are from beginning to end. It has appeared, which to some extent aroused the enthusiasm of Chinese audiences.


    The film was released simultaneously in China, and the zero-point attendance rate was close to 95%, which is enough to see the popularity of "Transformers 2" in China.


    Although many of them complained about "U.S. soldiers attacking aliens with weapons, and China using advertisements to conquer Hollywood", in subsequent releases, the 3d and imax versions of "Transformers 2" were hard to find.


    The box office of 38.9 million RMB on the first day of "Transformers 2" also easily surpassed the China''s single-day box office record of 32.41 million RMB created by "Transformers".


    This film set off a hotter movie-watching frenzy in China than the first one. The first three days of the first three days were 129.55 million RMB, and the subsequent films exceeded 200 million in five days and over 300 million in eight days, both of which created the Chinese film market. new record.


    Seventeen days after its release, "Transformers 2" broke the Chinese box office record of 430.05 million RMB, which was only maintained for two years, and successfully topped the historical box office championship in China.


    However, even though Disney has made a lot of efforts, "Transformers 2" still did not get the postponed ¡®key¡¯ of a certain game. After just 30 days, it was the first to be released from the Chinese market.


    565.78 million RMB, this is a brand new Chinese movie box office record, which belongs to "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen King".


    Entering August, the North American box office of "Transformers 2" is steadily moving towards the $400 million mark. The film''s another great success has also made Hasbro full of confidence in its own toy-based film After they bought back the adaptation rights of "Special Forces" from Jenkins Pictures, they are working with Stephen Sommers to produce a live-action movie.


    With a successful precedent, Hasbro raised the production budget of "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" to $170 million.


    In order to get this series back, they not only paid three times the original adaptation transfer fee, but also sold 2% of the peripheral share of "Transformers", naturally wanting to make it into a super-sale series.


    Most importantly, Hasbro issued an invitation to Ryan, offering a price tag of 30 million US dollars plus 30% of the global box office share, and inviting him to play the absolute protagonist Duke-that is, the Duke-and this price. There is still room for negotiation.


    Of course, they know that Ryan is not bad for money, but such a rare price is a symbol of his status as an actor in Hollywood.


    After simple thinking, Ryan still declined Hasbro''s invitation. His next job was already full and there was no suitable schedule. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 801： financial crisis

    In late August, the North American box office of "Transformers 2" reached the threshold of 400 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was close to 900 million U.S. dollars. Ryan also received his first share of the lead actor and producer, which was as high as The 70 million US dollars of funds were transferred to Sandy''s trust fund after setting aside tax.


    At the same time, "Iron Man 2", which was released in early May, was officially dropped from North America, taking away a box office figure of 345.52 million U.S. dollars. The global box office also crossed the threshold of 700 million U.S. dollars. One hundred million U.S. dollars.


    After the North American box office of "Robot Walle" exceeded 200 million US dollars, the growth rate became extremely slow. According to the box office trend, North America should eventually win a little more than 220 million US dollars, and the global box office is about 530 million US dollars. , Disney''s idea of ??going back to the box office will inevitably fail.


    Fortunately, although the sales of the peripheral products of the film are not very good, they can always sell a lot. There is also the follow-up income from DVD video tapes, Internet on-demand and TV copyright, and there is no problem in achieving profitability.


    "Robot Wall" and "Transformers 2" can be described as two extremes. Telling the story may not win the market, and making movies based on the current market needs is more likely to get big sales.


    No one can deny that "Robot Walli" is far better than "Transformers 2", and the two sides have at least two levels of income for the production company.


    Ryan is not just an actor. He represents the interests of Disney, a huge commercial group. Especially at this stage, Disney must come up with beautiful profit figures to tide over the next difficulties.


    Entering September, the shadow of the financial crisis immediately enveloped the entire North American sky.


    Since August 2007, the Federal Reserve has predicted the possibility of a crisis. They injected liquidity into the financial system to increase market confidence. The US stock market has also been able to maintain at a high level, and the situation does not seem to be very bad.


    However, in August this year, the share prices of the two major U.S. mortgage lenders, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, plummeted. Financial institutions holding the "two houses" bonds suffered large losses. The U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve were forced to take over the "two houses". To show the government''s determination to deal with the crisis.


    But what followed was that Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch, the world''s two top investment banks with total assets of up to 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars, broke out one after another. The former was forced to file for bankruptcy protection, and the latter was acquired by Bank of America; total assets reached 1 trillion. American International Group, the world''s largest insurer based on US dollars, is also unsustainable. While choosing to take over to stabilize the market, the U.S. government expressed its "helpless" to other financial institutions.


    This is only part of the outbreak of the crisis. The stock market has begun to turbulence under the influence of the financial market.


    Major Hollywood companies are basically listed companies, and they will inevitably suffer shocks. For example, Walt Disney, despite a series of film sales and the opening of Disneyland in the Far East, the market value has dropped by nearly percent in the short term. eleven.


    However, the company has been prepared for a long time and has ample cash flow. The response measures are appropriate, and in recent years, almost all of them have been taking the road of investment and production plus distribution. There is no too complicated guarantee and debt relationship, and the impact is not particularly large.


    Although there will be losses. But under Ryan''s advance warning, Disney''s losses are relatively limited.


    Giants in other industries, especially the financial industry, are not so lucky. By mid-September, the two remaining investment banks on Wall Street, Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley. All had to apply to the Federal Reserve Commission to transform into a bank holding company to avoid risks.


    With the transformation of Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley into commercial banks. The traditional term ¡®Wall Street Investment Bank¡¯ has disappeared as a historical term.


    The federal government and the Federal Reserve have proposed a series of rescue plans, but they have aroused public dissatisfaction.


    Sixty-five percent of the American people opposed the government''s aid plan. They believed that the big banks first advocated a capitalist-style laissez-faire expansion, but now something goes wrong, they are asking for the socialist way to save the big banks from the national treasury. Capitalists, the people are unemployed, credit bankrupt and losing their houses.


    This also laid the groundwork for the future occupation movement early.


    As a media group second only to "Time Warner-AOL" in the United States, Walt Disney¡¯s Burbank headquarters has successively appeared representatives of the White House and Wall Street. Ryan¡¯s own phone calls have almost been blown up. In particular, the Jewish groups on Wall Street strongly request the media to release guiding public opinion that the market has begun to stabilize and improve...


    The chief of staff of the White House and the head of the New York branch of the National Jewish Association visited Jenkins Manor one after another. Faced with the favors sent by the other party, Ryan would naturally not push the door.


    To be precise, they belong to the same class, and safeguarding the interests of this class is a necessary choice, not to mention making Wall Street owe a lot of favor.


    How can the domestic contradictions be transferred? The best way is definitely to find an enemy from the outside. The economic crisis has a huge impact. It is impossible for the public in the United States to be fooled by the media. If a public enemy appears, it will certainly disperse some of the complaints against Wall Street and the federal government.


    When the major media groups, including Walt Disney and other major media groups that reached agreements with Wall Street, were looking for suitable external conflicts, some people hurriedly jumped out and acted as the best targets.


    "This is God''s punishment. This is a disaster that God has brought to the Americans. It is the evil result of Western countries'' sanctions on Iran. Americans must pay for their foolish behavior!"


    On September 20, at the OPEC conference, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad once again made remarks against the United States.


    The whole world is accustomed to such words. If Iran jumps out and shouts a few words from time to time, that would be a weird thing.


    But Ahmadinejad was clearly prepared, and he didn''t come to the OPEC meeting to release the cannon.


    "The West got our oil, but gave us a worthless piece of waste paper-the U.S. dollar! In order to deal with the economic crisis brought about by the depreciation of the U.S. dollar, Iran will convert a large part of its foreign exchange reserves into other currencies."


    Even Ahmadinejad also strongly urged OPEC to launch a new currency by itself. "We should establish an Economic Cooperation and Development Organization and a trade bank, as well as carry out currency cooperation, and use the''single currency'' for trade among member countries, and then in other countries and neighbors. Implemented in middle schools."


    This sounds like a very good suggestion, but no one responded. If OPEC really launched its own currency, how would the United States react? Not to mention the constant disputes within the member states, even if a consensus is reached, I am afraid that war will break out in the Middle East immediately.


    Iran and Ahmadinejad are clearly trying to drag all OPEC member states into the black water, using OPEC as a shield against the hostility of the United States and the entire Western society towards Iran.


    The news spread back to North America and mainstream media reported on Iran¡¯s rebellion. This nation¡¯s public enemy occupies important sections of print media, television, radio, and the Internet. In the mainstream media¡¯s rendering, it seems that the dollar¡¯s ??status will be destroyed in the next moment. The U.S. economy has completely collapsed, and the evil and tyrannical Iranians will completely occupy North America.


    To a certain extent, the Iranian news in the mainstream media has distracted some people''s resentment against Wall Street.


    At this moment, the Pentagon announced that a training ship deployed in the Persian Gulf was hit by an Iranian ship, causing 3 soldiers to be injured. The training ship had to be abandoned due to severe damage and finally sank in Persia. In the bay.


    Once the news was announced, there was an uproar across North America. Television stations and other Disney-controlled media took the lead in calling out the dispatch of aircraft carrier formations to the Persian Gulf.


    The cloud of war over the Persian Gulf has diluted some of the impact of the economic crisis in North America.


    "The status of the U.S. dollar as a world currency is not only related to the interests of the United States, but also to the interests of every ordinary citizen."


    Looking at Taylor, who was holding Sandy, Ryan continued to say to Nicole, ¡°The last person who wanted to challenge the status of the dollar was the euro. As a result, the Kosovo war broke out and the euro lost its best opportunity to challenge the dollar.¡±


    "So..." Taylor''s eyes left Sandy and looked at the couch here, "Iran has violated our bottom line?"


    "You can say that." Ryan beckoned at his smiling daughter. "The status of the US dollar as a world currency is not only related to the interests of the federal government and Wall Street, but also the interests of each of us, so Iran It has touched the most sensitive nerve in the United States."


    "The ship that sank in the Persian Gulf..."


    "True or false is not important." Ryan interrupted Taylor. "The important thing is that the training ship has sunk to the bottom of the Persian Gulf. According to Western media reports, the Iranian crashed and sank. This is enough to divert the attention of many people. Power and sharp contradictions within Western countries."


    "You always say these things to Alison." Nicole can''t help but complain It''s okay, I like these things. "It was probably Sandy who took a bite. After Taylor exclaimed, he kissed the little guy, "I will protect Sandy in the future." "


    "Will the Federal Government send an aircraft carrier formation?" Nicole is not uninterested, "Is there really going to be a war in the Persian Gulf."


    "It should not be in the short term." Ryan shook his head. "George Bush is about to step down. The economic crisis is still raging, and the government doesn''t have that much energy, but..."


    "After the impact of the economic crisis diminishes, it will be difficult to say." Taylor suddenly took over Ryan''s words. "This is just a temporary transfer of part of the contradiction. After a while, the public will find that their lives have not substantially improved. , And even worsened, it will definitely target Wall Street again. If Iran makes provocative actions again at that time, both the government and Wall Street will be happy to see the outbreak of a local foreign war."


    "Iran is now the best target and the most suitable candidate for the culprit in the United States." (To be continued...)

 Chapter 802： Conditions of lending

    There is a myth in Hollywood-in every economic crisis, Hollywood is a place where the storm cannot spread.


    During the Great Depression of the 1930s, a quarter of Americans were unemployed. People still counted steel to watch the latest movies. People hid in movie theaters because they escaped the reality. The movie industry thrived, and Hollywood didn¡¯t. After being hit, they are thriving.


    The 2008 financial crisis was the most serious financial crisis since 1930. The economic downturn triggered by it has lasted for more than ten weeks, and there is still no sign of ending. The houses of the poor were taken back by the banks, and the rich began to auction their valuables. From the wife''s $4,000 handbag to the $500,000 private jet.


    Can Hollywood really be a safe haven in the face of a real estate avalanche, a slump in the stock market, 64,000 companies declaring bankruptcy, and an unemployment rate of 7.2%?


    Hollywood is no longer the Hollywood of the last century. Major production and distribution companies have become members of media groups, and media groups with complex industrial revenues must not escape this financial turmoil.


    When Wall Street plummeted, the entertainment industry stocks were not spared. The overall US entertainment industry stocks fell by 41%, and the stocks of media groups belonging to every major movie studio suffered heavy losses.


    The "Time Warner-AOL" affiliated to Warner Bros. is the world''s largest media group. Its stock has fallen from a peak of about US$17 per share to a lowest of US$7 per share. The market value of the entire group has evaporated by US$25 billion.


    Paramount¡¯s owner Viacom Group is the biggest loser among the five major media groups in the United States. Its stock fell from its highest point of US$45 per share to US$12 per share. Some financial magazines speculated that Viacom¡¯s Summer Ray. Shi Dong "may be embarrassed not to be a billionaire anymore."


    Paramount Pictures itself suffered the double nightmare of the Wall Street Investment Company''s divestment and the separation of its DreamWorks Spielberg, and it has become one of the most difficult movie studios other than MGM.


    Another big loser is Sony Columbia. Sony¡¯s stock has shrunk by 65 percent and has already reached the brink of bankruptcy.


    In contrast. Walt Disney¡¯s life is considered to be the best among the five major media groups. Although the fourth quarter revenue is expected to decrease by 13% compared to the same period last year, up to 2 billion U.S. dollars, it has already exceeded 43 billion U.S. dollars in revenue this year. That said, it will not have much impact.


    Although the sudden decline in TV advertising and the sharp decline in theme park revenue have impacted Disney¡¯s revenue, Disney¡¯s stock price has gone through several fluctuations and its market value has fallen by less than 15%, compared with the half of other media group¡¯s stock prices. Already the biggest winner.


    of course. It is not that there has been a large-scale sell-off of Disney shares on the stock market, but Ryan has long allowed Scott to prepare a huge cash flow and use multiple foundations to spread it out, which has stabilized Disney''s stock price to a certain extent.


    Many of Disney''s subsidiaries have experienced revenue declines, with the exception of two.


    One is Netflix, which announced the end of the videotape rental business model with a unique DVD mailing leasing method-users only need to pay 16.99 US dollars a month to rent DVDs online for unlimited times-users sit at home and wait for the post office to deliver the video. After reading the disc, seal the envelope that came with it. Put it in the mailbox and mail it back.


    This can be said to be a good way to avoid the pain of the financial crisis.


    The other is Marvel Comics. The enthusiasm caused by "Iron Man 2" has not yet retreated, and their comics business has always had a stable income.


    The biggest impact of this financial crisis is actually the massive withdrawal of Wall Street capital from Hollywood. The short honeymoon cooperation period between the two parties ended. Many banks no longer invest in the high-risk film industry. Many Hollywood companies have to cut down some projects one after another. These projects have decreased. It also means that underemployment will eventually be reflected in every class that makes up Hollywood.


    Those big-name celebrities are no exception, there is not enough work. They cannot sustain huge expenditures.


    However, the team behind Hollywood stars are smart people, and many people have embarked on the route of overseas gold.


    For example, after the end of long-term madness and obesity, Britney Spears embarked on the road of world tour, so that fans from all over the world paid the bill; for example, Sylvester Stallone, who finished filming "The Expendables", ran to India, intending to temporarily Fishing for gold in Asan''s Bollywood...


    Compared with the stars who can go overseas to fish for gold, the life of major Hollywood labels is even more difficult. Wall Street has withdrawn funds, making their liquidity scarce, and they have announced production cuts.


    Among the six major labels, the saddest one is Paramount Pictures. Deutsche Bank has shelved a US$450 million investment agreement with Paramount, making them lack sufficient funding for at least 30 films. On the other hand, After three years of unpleasant cooperation, Spielberg of DreamWorks has always wanted to separate from Paramount, and now it has reached the point where it has to be separated.


    Paramount Pictures wanted to seek help from the parent company Viacom, but Viacom can only protect itself. Unfortunately, one after another, Paramount was sued jointly by Allianz Risk Transfer and Marathon Structure Financial Fund. Past projects involving Paramount Pictures were misleading and fraudulent, and suffered a credit freeze.


    Spielberg¡¯s new DreamWorks is not having a good life. Although he escaped the credit freeze because of the separation of his family, he was also severely short of funds. He had to shelve several film projects and waited for the illusory and illusory rewards from an entertainment company in India I don''t know if the loan of 350 million US dollars will be honored.


    Want to raise funds, now major banks and financial institutions are overwhelmed by themselves, and they are all escaping away from Hollywood at the speed of fleeing. How easy is it?


    But Ryan is different. He and Scott''s team have been well prepared for a long time. This is the moment he has been looking forward to. Only by seizing the present opportunity can he ensure the smooth implementation of future plans.


    "Steven..."


    Before walking to the golf ball, Ryan tried to swing the club, hit the white ball hard, and then turned around, "I heard that DreamWorks did not want to participate in the release?"


    "I think the energy of DreamWorks should be more concentrated on the production."


    Hearing Spielberg''s words, Ryan nodded, jumped into the battery car, and patted Tyler''s back in the driver''s seat. She immediately started the car and drove towards the recreation area by the sea.


    Spielberg continued, "You should know that we are better at producing films."


    "How about handing over the distribution to Disney?" Ryan threw the cue behind. "I promise to charge only 10% of the distribution fee."


    "It''s not up to me to decide." Spielberg helped his glasses. "Besides, DreamWorks couldn''t even find the funds to make the film..."


    "Your agreement with India''s Reliance Group has not been reached yet?" Ryan asked timely.


    "Not yet." The old man shook his head, "The Indians are not having a good life."


    "Alison, concentrate on driving."


    Warned Taylor, Ryan looked at Spielberg and didn''t go around in circles, "I still have funds in my hand. If DreamWorks needs it urgently, I can lend you."


    Hearing Ryan''s words, Spielberg''s eyes immediately brightened. Even if he gets the money at a higher interest rate than the bank, he is willing. After all, without funds, DreamWorks can''t even start work.


    But Spielberg is a man who has been in Hollywood for many years. He understands that there is no free lunch in the world, even if the two sides are very good friends.


    "Speak up straight, Ryan." Spielberg was very direct. "What are the conditions?"


    "How much do you need?" Ryan asked.


    "One hundred million U.S. dollars, at least." Spielberg seemed to speak loudly at the Lion. "Of course the more the better."


    "I can personally lend DreamWorks US$300 million to US$400 million at bank interest rates."


    Watching Taylor tacitly drive the battery car onto the road with no one, Ryan looked back, "One Oscar for Best Actress and an Oscar for Best Actress."


    "I cannot guarantee such conditions."


    No one can guarantee the award, Spielberg shook his head directly.


    "Stephen, I just borrowed your connections." Ryan knew this too. "Then you will be responsible for helping me lobby the conservatives among the Jewish people this year and next."


    Although he knows many people, age is a problem. Spielberg, as a representative of Jewish origin who has been rooted in Hollywood for more than 40 years, is definitely the most suitable candidate.


    This public relations work is not excessive, and in fact, there are not many things in charge.


    "Anything else?" Spielberg asked again.


    "Of course." Ryan said deliberately very solemnly, "If possible, I hope you quit DreamWorks and join Disney."


    "Okay, Ryan." Spielberg knew he was joking. "Seriously, I can agree, but I don''t guarantee that I will get the two statuettes."


    "It''s okay Ryan never puts hope in a single aspect," I will call Scott later, and his people will contact you. "


    Then, the two changed the subject and talked about the production world that is more miserable than the major labels.


    Compared with the major companies with guaranteed income, movies are more dependent on foreign investment, and their current situation can no longer be described as difficult.


    Of course, if you have the right movie, the right actors and production team, and the right budget, you can still get investment.


    Opposing movies refer to comedies, action movies, horror movies, or thrillers; if it¡¯s a serious drama, there must be a big star; and the other themes that the producer loves, death, suicide, schizophrenia, or discussing women¡¯s rights, this At that time, no one cares.


    It wasn''t until the evening that Ryan and Taylor separated from Spielberg and left the club, and then rushed to the next business meeting. The target of the meeting was Paramount Pictures, which has more crises and troubles than DreamWorks. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 803： Love to death

    Under the gray hair are a pair of brown eyes, in which the shimmering shrewdness cannot conceal the fatigue caused by the pressure. As a Paramount Pictures company, Brad Gray lightly holds the coffee cup and looks at the opposite side from time to time. In Ryan''s body, the brain is spinning fast, considering the conditions put forward by the other party.


    After Deutsche Bank stranded its investment agreement and suffered a credit freeze, Paramount Pictures now has very little choice. He was a little tempted by Ryan¡¯s proposal to borrow $450 million from Paramount at a bank interest rate. The other party has this ability. He is convinced that his commercial films and peripheral products are simply gold-making machines.


    Perhaps only God knows how much Ryan Jenkins has used Walt Disney''s huge platform to gain for him and the people around him over the years.


    He easily packaged a movie star from South Africa into a true female billionaire.


    But what else does he have?


    You know, although Paramount Pictures cannot get much help from Viacom, the parent company in crisis, it is not without other financing channels.


    For example, David Ellison, who is known as Hollywood''s biggest idiot, has been passing news some time ago that he can provide financial support for Paramount.


    But Brad Gray did not agree for the time being, it can only be the last choice, the other party''s appetite is too great, and he even asked Paramount to have a priority for future films: Chang: Venture capital rights, even if David? Ellison¡¯s vision is the same as that of a layman. Brad Gray doesn¡¯t want to take risks. Who knows if David Ellison is behind the arrogant and greedy Larry Ellison. This is simply sending himself. To the tiger''s mouth.


    In contrast, Ryan Jenkins is not good, but he has a good reputation in Hollywood. As long as the two parties reach an agreement, whether it is an oral or paper agreement, he will never regret it.


    And he and Nicole Kidman have always been Paramount shareholders. The latter is still a member of the board of directors, and it is certainly not in their interest to suffer damage to Paramount.


    It seems that accepting his funds is the wisest choice?


    Even if he thinks so, Brad Gray will not immediately give an answer. This is a matter involving hundreds of millions of dollars. If he makes a decision with his head, the board of directors will definitely make a big noise, even if he is the powerful CEO. I am afraid that I will be held accountable by the head office in the future, and even lose my current position.


    Ryan also knew that this matter could not be solved with a single conversation, which was related to completely controlling DreamWorks. And Spielberg who trusts each other is completely different. If Brad Gray pats his head and agrees, then he really has to consider whether there is another purpose, and whether the other party is qualified.


    "Except for Paramount''s full power to support the next two Oscars," Brad Gray seems to have a certain tendency, "Ryan, are there other conditions?"


    The world will not lose pizza for no reason, he knows this very well.


    "The Oscar matter is not difficult for you." Ryan looked at the honest Taylor beside him. Then he said, "I heard that David Ellison called you? Don''t worry, I don''t have his appetite. There is only one additional condition."


    Ryan ordered the table. "If you restart the Star Trek series, the next three, I have one-third of the priority investment rights."


    Although Paramount can play a series of dirty commercial deceptions by Hollywood filmmakers, such as ¡®declaration of discounted costs¡¯ and ¡®falsely reporting overseas promotional and marketing expenses¡¯ on Wall Street, these are all jokes in front of Ryan, an insider. The other party is not a fool, knowing that these can only deal with laymen, not Disney, which is also one of the six members.


    "I need to submit to the board of directors for deliberation."


    What the other party said was not what Ryan expected. "You also need to report to the head office."


    "I can wait." Ryan nodded and said unhurriedly, "But I won''t hold the funds for too long. The U.S. dollar has begun to depreciate again, and I am preparing for the next round of investment."


    "I understand." Brad Gray stood up and shook hands with Ryan. "If an agreement can be reached, I believe this will be a pleasant cooperation."


    Although the crisis encountered by Paramount Pictures is more caused by the general environment, he cannot escape the relationship. If he can''t lead Paramount out of trouble as soon as possible, I believe the head office is likely to make adjustments to the management.


    "I believe Summer will not refuse my kindness."


    When Ryan finished speaking, Brad Gray said goodbye and left the cafe.


    Viacom¡¯s stock price plummeted. Although it was not at the point of applying for bankruptcy protection, it was also badly injured. Now it is barely ranked at the end of the top five media groups. Summer Redstone is a smart man, and he knows that he has not swallowed it. Paramount Pictures¡¯ ambitions will certainly not reject this proposal.


    Relatively speaking, despite the competition, the two sides are more like a loose alliance. Including Iran and other incidents, they have shown tacit agreement on many occasions.


    After drinking the coffee in the cup, Ryan looked at her side, "Need something to eat?"


    "No more." Taylor shook his head. "I want to stay in shape. I''m on a diet. Let''s go home."


    Putting on their hats and sunglasses, the two walked out the back door of the caf¨¦. John was waiting in his car, waiting for Ryan and Taylor to get on the back seat of the RV. The car slowly turned out of the alley and drove up to Beverly Hills. Highway.


    "Do you think Paramount will agree?" Tyler asked, turning to the other side.


    "Why not?"


    Ryan looked out the car window. It was a striking billboard with a movie poster of "Weaknesses" on it. He turned his gaze back and said, "This is a win-win situation."


    "You actually spent so much thought on them." Taylor seemed to be a little emotional, "Do you need me to shed some light on Nicole and Nat?"


    "Alison!" Ryan made a shut up gesture to her, and Taylor quickly raised his hand, "Well, I promise."


    ""Weakness" is coming out soon." Tyler took the initiative to change the subject, "how do you think Nicole has the hope of getting the third best actress, Golden Man?"


    "It''s hard to tell." Ryan shook his head. "Although the film fits the mainstream values ??we promote, but... Alison, I remember that you accompanied Nicole to a screening party?"


    After Tyler nodded, Ryan continued, "Lee Anne Tawsey doesn¡¯t have much to do with the role. Although Nicole¡¯s performance is very good, she has won two Oscars for Best Actress. It may affect the voting choices of some judges."


    "That''s why you used so many methods?" Tyler pinched his pointed chin, "I think Nicole will be moved."


    Ryan didn''t say anything, and slowly leaned back in the chair.


    He didn''t need anyone to be grateful for doing this, he was just fulfilling his original promise, even if he only knew it.


    Because of the financial crisis, "Weakness" had to change the release time and put it in the Thanksgiving file. This film about family relations is also more suitable for this schedule.


    The financial crisis not only affected Hollywood¡¯s funding sources, but also hit the box office. The North American box office in September and October was extremely miserable. Almost all the films released hit the streets. Some major productions have delayed their schedules. 007: Quantum Crisis once again suffered a dystocia, and the release time was forced to be postponed to mid-December.


    Due to Ryan''s intervention, most of Disney''s films have avoided this time. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", which was originally released on the Thanksgiving Christmas file, was pushed to the summer file next year.


    The only two remaining high-investment films are "Weakness" produced by Kidman Studios, Disney Pictures released, and the vampire romance film "Twilight Saga: Twilight" produced by Disney Pictures.


    The production cost of the latter was only 35 million US dollars, but the market response it caused surprised everyone.


    The film was shown in 3,419 theaters in the first week of its release in North America, with a box office revenue of 70.55 million U.S. dollars, and a single theater box office of more than 20,000 U.S. dollars.


    You must know that the shadow of the financial crisis has only slightly dissipated, and the film market is still in chaos. Such a film with few outstanding advantages has achieved such outstanding results, which has made many forecasting agencies and production companies cry out. understand.


    The movie itself is not as good as its box office results. Even Ryan admits this. From ordinary reporters to adult audiences to critics, there are almost all critical voices in the media.


    "This is the most suitable movie you can find for teenagers, because the film is really old-fashioned and the feelings are pale. The film is a love story between people and ghosts under the packaging of''vampires plus youth school love''."


    "The so-called''love'' in this movie is lifeless, full of boring long shots shot at the pretty faces of handsome men and beauties, shabby performances, procrastinated plots, breathless, incoherent lines."


    Despite the flood of bad reviews, the new generation of viewers fully demonstrated the characteristics of not being affected by the reviews. In just ten days, the North American box office of "Twilight Saga: Twilight" exceeded $120 million.


    You must know that this is a film with a production cost of only 35 million U.S. dollars, even if the publicity cost is included, it is only 50 million U.S. dollars invested.


    ""Twilight" has fascinated a large female audience of about 16 years old and grandmother level ~ www.novelhall.com ~ everything seems to be able to stop the loli from the vulgarity of this adaptation of Stephanie Meyer''s bestseller The favorite of the works swarmed."


    These people can be said to be the largest group of viewers of this film, and even contributed nearly 75% of the box office.


    But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that Disney has discovered a series of gold mines in the shadow of this market downturn.


    Hollywood has no secrets. What role Ryan played in it became widely known. Many companies are watching him closely to see which novels he is interested in in the market in order to release them in advance.


    Some people even wondered what books Ryan had read recently? What is the name of the book?


    Even if the book is only Hegel''s work, these people will find it out thoroughly to discover the possibility of film adaptation. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 804： Game progress

    One week before Thanksgiving, "Weakness" officially landed in North America. Because "Twilight Saga: Twilight" was unexpectedly hot, the extremely cold film market hit by the financial crisis quickly recovered. Producer Kidman Studios and distribution Fang Disney Pictures also held a small premiere for the film.


    Among them, with the help of Spielberg, who started to be conservative in his thinking, many conservative academies were invited to the premiere.


    Ryan also invited a large number of Hollywood movie stars with academy memberships to the show. Because of the selection rules, they also have a certain say in the selection of the best actor.


    In addition, the Taosi couple and Michael Auch are naturally invited, especially the latter, who will be participating in the NFL Draft next year. Even if the film has not yet been released, his reputation has spread throughout North America.


    "Making this movie is entirely because I personally like this story very much. Frankly speaking, when I reach this age, I can''t always play an unmarried girl. I should play a mother. "Weakness" gave me such a chance."


    When I walked into the interview area with Nicole, Ryan took the initiative to step aside, while Nicole talked in front of the TV station and other Disney media, "Hancock is a very easy to get along with, because I don¡¯t have many opportunities to play my mother. , So I always worry that I can¡¯t play this role well. On the set, I always ask him if I¡¯ve played badly, whether I made mistakes or other silly questions. He always says I¡¯m doing a good job, that¡¯s it Acting, and also suggested that I speed up my pace."


    "Auch has been an orphan since he was a child and has suffered from the bitterness of the world. Even though he was adopted, he still did not find his goal in life. He tried to run away from home and tried to commit suicide."


    When the reporter asked another protagonist of the film, Nicole did not hesitate to compliment, "I think if such a person finds meaning in life, then his motivation is absolutely endless. There are stories about him reaching the peak of his life step by step. Enlightening."


    "The thing that touches me the most in the whole story is Auch¡¯s growth experience. It¡¯s hard to imagine that the children who grew up in that situation can maintain an optimistic and upward mentality. It¡¯s also hard to imagine that he was so successful later and became so many people today. Watching sports stars."


    Before leaving, Nicole finally said, "I think this story is educational. It can teach each of us not to abandon our ideals and pursuits at any time. Maybe we can reach the other side of our ideals by taking one step further."


    Entering the Nokia Theatre, Ryan and Nicole fully entered their respective roles during the period before the start of the film. They are overwhelmed by busy socializing and socializing. Each circle has its own rules. If you want to get more resources and strive for more benefits, such socialized socializing cannot be avoided.


    If you want to win prizes, especially if you like Nicole to win the third Oscar performance award, the film and the role are no longer the decisive factor. Off-board work is far more important than the film itself.


    Otherwise, Ryan would not spend so much thought.


    As for the film itself. In fact, it tells the story of a white couple who adopted a black child, but the black child is a genius of American football.


    This is a typical American theme movie. If you only look at the plot of the movie, America is really as beautiful as a paradise on earth. It''s a pity that even Ryan and Nicole, who invested in the film, think that the film has a hypocritical side. There may be many such things in the United States, but it is definitely not a common phenomenon.


    It''s just like the plot of the movie. In most areas, there is a clear boundary between black residential areas and white residential areas. It is too difficult for people of color to cross this boundary. Even the North American media are chanting against racial discrimination every day.


    Of course, as a film that reflects family and mainstream values, "Weakness" will naturally not reflect the real social conditions in North America.


    Besides, the main content of the film is based on part of Michael Auch''s memoirs, and the main perspective is also placed on the Taosi family.


    Looking at the film alone, as a warm and inspirational film, "Weakness" can easily touch the softest place in people¡¯s hearts. From the moment Annie Tawsi saw the big man Mike walking forward in the cold wind, It can make people be swelled by a faint warm current. The film uses a very pure way to make this warmth continue to bake the audience, allowing them to feel the kindness of the characters in the film in various ways until they expect it. The ending.


    There will certainly be many people questioning the authenticity of the film, but Hollywood''s main theme films have always beautified the United States. No matter how rare the beauty of the world is, the United States in the film is always a paradise on earth.


    This is understandable, Hollywood has always done this, and the main theme movies of every country are also doing the same.


    As a film with a clear purpose, it is natural to highlight the heroine Nicole, and Nicole''s performance in it is also excellent.


    The Anne Tao Xi she played in the film is like a feminist attitude, but it does not make the film look nondescript, but adds some interest to the film. No matter how resolute and unobstructed the "hot mom" of Anne Tao Xi is, Through her performance, the audience clearly feels that all this is due to love, a love that is more extensive than maternal love, without losing sincerity.


    ""Weakness" is a very sincere film, it allows people to see the temperature of true feelings."


    "A very good performance, I still feel a little bit unfinished."


    As soon as the film ended, a large number of guests came to say hello and congratulate.


    Although the blond, blue-eyed and glamorous and **** looks are not in line with Oscar''s usual aesthetics, the role of Annie Taosi is ingenious, which is very in line with the aesthetic tastes and values ??of the mainstream American class.


    Now that the film is officially released in North America, it means that an Oscar public relations battle has officially kicked off, and a large number of media are fully engaged.


    "The Weaknesses" is undoubtedly a successful attempt. Nicole Kidman plays a friendly, kind, and responsible white foster mother this time. The role of mother is a completely page-turning sacrifice for an actress! "


    The report of the Los Angeles Times is not an exaggeration. Hollywood has an invisible rule, one of which is that it is difficult for an actress who has played an older mother to play a role in a dream lover.


    Of course, in the case of Nicole''s gradual transformation into an acting career behind the scenes, she doesn''t care about this now, otherwise she would not take this role.


    "Nicole Kidman created a great image of a mother. She gave the character a charm and made people feel the greatness of human love."


    --"New York Times"


    "Miss Kidman has portrayed the image of a gentle, kind-hearted and considerate mother very well, and there are no shortage of moments to play treasures, and a few lines from time to time make people laugh. Maybe this is the pinnacle of her acting career? In short, she treats Annie. The interpretation of the role of Tao Xi is the biggest highlight in the film."


    --"Washington post"


    "The inspirational label of the movie itself is the first, but Nicole Kidman showed off his excellent acting skills, but also played a little sexy, that does not hold a thin waist, decent clothes, exquisite Immaculate makeup, coupled with a sunny smile that is completely different from the glamour of the past, if¡ªperhaps¡ªprobably¡ªpossibly, anyone who has watched any film starring Nicole will walk into the cinema , Look at this woman, imagine herself as Michael, and accept her full of love."


    -Yahoo Entertainment


    The media¡¯s applause is not unexpected, and Nicole¡¯s performance in it deserves such praise, even the Associated Press commented that if Nicole Kidman could not be shortlisted for the Oscar Performance Awards, it would be a big upset for this year¡¯s Oscars!


    If the "Twilight Saga: Twilight" that was released two weeks ago was a dark horse, then "Weaknesses" also showed a dark horse.


    The film was opened in North America with 3110 theaters, and it received $39.8 million in the first three days. The results are not particularly good, but relative to the subject matter of the film, it is already satisfactory.


    And in the second week, "Weakness" showed the dark side of the dark horse, especially the Thanksgiving holiday in the middle. From Monday to Friday alone, it slashed $55.45 million in North America. By the weekend In three days, he took another 40.2 million US dollars. This bucking the trend of rising stance suppressed all the light of other films.


    In just ten days, the film took away $135.45 million from North America. This is not the result of a prize-winning film at all, it is a box office that can only be obtained by commercial blockbusters.


    The production cost of the film was only 30 million US dollars. Together with the small production "Twilight: Twilight", it won a high box office at a small cost and completely dominated the North American film market in November.


    In addition to Nicole¡¯s own appeal, there are reasons why "Weakness" can achieve such box office results. The film based on the theme of American football has been successful for a little and a half. You must know that North America is extremely fanatical about American football. The TV ratings of the league season are extremely high. Once the so-called American football comes out, other sports have to be pushed aside, not to mention the huge influence of the annual Super Bowl.


    Then there is a completely different audience between "Weakness" and the popular "Twilight Saga: Twilight" with loli and grandmother The two will not fight each other in the movie market.


    In the third weekend, the North American box office of "Weakness" has reached 169.87 million U.S. dollars, and the North American box office trend of this film went straight to 250 million U.S. dollars and even higher.


    At the same time, the public relations teams of Disney and Ryan are running around, and Nicole also frequently organizes parties and pull-up sessions to actively win votes for herself.


    Relatively speaking, the big sales of the film made Ryan a little worried. God knows whether the more conservative and stubborn judges will treat this film as a complete commercial film because of the high box office numbers.


    Those conservative thinking cannot be measured by ordinary people at all.


    This is a long game, and it is only in the process of the game, but after Ryan confessed the team''s work, he temporarily left, because "Avengers" has entered the final preparation stage and can be officially launched at any time. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 805： The strongest team on earth

    Surprise Pictures¡¯ office in Burbank is not very big. It¡¯s just a two-story building. If you look at the appearance alone, it¡¯s hard to imagine that this is a film company that has produced several global hits. Like the movie studios opened by Hollywood stars that will close at any time.


    On a new Monday, this place became a gathering place for amazing heroes. The paparazzi who followed a few stars almost broke the shutter of the camera.


    Black Widow Scarlett Johansson, Pepper Gwyneth Paltrow, Iron Man Robert Downey Jr, Hulk Mark Rufage, Hawkeye Jeremy Renner, Cyclops Samuel Jackson...


    There are also well-known Thor Chris Hemsworth and Rocky Tom Hiddleston who are not in theaters.


    In the end, the paparazzi caught Ryan Jenkins, who is less and less appearing in front of the media, this is Captain America.


    What are they going to do?


    More and more entertainment reporters are gathering here, and those with full heads immediately thought of Marvel''s big plan. Could the Avengers begin to gather?


    A reporter from the "Los Angeles Times" tried to stop Ryan by relying on the good cooperative relationship over the years.


    "Jenkins husband."


    Before the bodyguard pushed himself away, he shouted, "May I ask if "Avengers" is about to begin?"


    Putting his hands on the bodyguard and letting the reporter walk around, Ryan replied happily, "Yes, the strongest team on earth is about to assemble."


    While Ryan was answering questions, more reporters flocked to him, throwing all kinds of questions.


    Randomly answered a few. Under the cover of bodyguards, Ryan hurriedly walked into the office building of Surprise Pictures. The reporters at the back surrounded Jos Weiden who had just got off the car. He was surprised a long time ago. The director of "The Avengers" announced by the party is not as lucky as Ryan.


    The entertainment reporter threw a knife-like question. Most of them are skeptical voices. After all, although Jos Weiden has a good resume, the last film "Firefly" directed by him is a hodgepodge of complete failures.


    After faintly listening to the questions asked by the reporter, Ryan walked towards the conference room on the second floor under the leadership of the front desk staff.


    Although "The Avengers" is a movie that many comics fans and superhero fans are looking forward to, but in the hearts of most people in the industry, this movie is not a sought-after flavour. The reason is It''s actually very simple-too many heroes, too many different super abilities, too difficult to mix together.


    For example, Jon Feiru, the director of Marvel initially inclined to "Iron Man", not only rejected the job. He also called Ryan himself to explain.


    "I can''t direct this movie because it''s too difficult. I created an Iron Man built with high technology in the movie, but now he has to fight with the Avengers. There is Thor like this. Mythological characters, there are some supernatural abilities that are not compatible with high-tech, etc. It is actually very difficult to mix these elements together. It is not a problem to express in comics, but in movies, I shoot me like this It won''t work."


    Frankly speaking, "The Avengers" is also a pot of smorgasbord, and once messed up Jos Weiden, who had a smorgasbord. A lot of experience can definitely be summed up.


    Entering the conference room, Ryan nodded to Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel Jackson, who came to say hello one after another, and then walked to the two people who were still sitting still.


    "what''s the topic?"


    Unlike those who just have a working relationship, these two people have been friends for many years. Ryan pulled a chair and sat next to Scarlett, "It seems like it''s very warm?"


    "Gwyneth complained to me that the black widow in "Iron Man 2" robbed Pepper of the limelight." Scarlett shrugged, "So she strongly urged me not to appear in "Iron Man 3" again."


    "Scarlett." Gwyneth Paltrow lifted her long blonde hair. "You should have the "Black Widow" series."


    "I think I should get an Oscar for Best Actress first." Scarlett looked at Gwyneth and whispered.


    "You shouldn''t tell me this." Gwyneth pointed to Ryan''s side. "The one who can help you get the Oscar statuette is over there."


    These are all jokes, and Ryan joked with them. Marvel Pictures¡¯ Kevin Feig and director Jos Weyden walked in. They first came over to greet Ryan, and then called everyone together to start a meeting.


    This is the preparatory meeting for the crew, and there is no special place. In fact, most of the affairs were communicated with the relevant people as early as when the script was handed over to them. The preparatory meeting was more like a meeting and coordination meeting. Personnel face-to-face communication with possible problems.


    Group play is a very troublesome thing. There are many characters in the film, and each character is a "popular star." In addition, the screenwriter cannot evenly distribute the roles, so it is inevitable that there will be a phenomenon of "favoring one another than the other", which can easily lead to open and secret fights among various actors. .


    Fortunately, most of them are male actors, and the fights between men will not be as endless as women.


    In order to prevent the bad things that may occur in the future from hindering the shooting, after the routine script reading, Ryan stood up and said a few words.


    "Film is the art of regret. Regardless of the aspect and time, there will be regrets. In the plot, Surprise, Jon and the screenwriters have done their best and tried their best, and have done everything possible to equalize. "


    Looking over everyone in the conference room, Ryan said solemnly, "But unfortunately, this is an unrealistic idea. Therefore, some superheroes can only be used as supporting roles in this movie."


    As soon as Ryan¡¯s voice fell, Kevin Feige said again, "However, this will not disappoint, because there are many action scenes in the film. Although there are so many superheroes together, this movie is still one Action movies. Just pay attention to those big action scenes, because this is the flesh and blood of this movie."


    In fact, these people can''t say anything on the surface. Ryan''s Captain America does not have many roles in the script. Although it is the brain of the Avengers, it is definitely not the most brilliant one, and even more like a decoration.


    Regarding this, Ryan, as the biggest player in the entire crew, did not complain, and no one else could say anything.


    This is a very normal thing. When a group of superheroes gather together, it is inevitable that some will stand out and some will become decorations.


    According to the setting of the script, Iron Man Tony Stark definitely took advantage, humorous, arrogant and conceited. In the end, he became a "fighter" among superheroes because of his courage to dedicate his life, in addition to taking on the most dangerous combat missions. , Iron Man also gave full play to the huge energy of comedians, all kinds of ridicule, all kinds of "out of shape".


    To be precise, the division of labor in the script is clear. Iron Man is responsible for playing treasures, Captain America is responsible for acting handsome, Black Widow is responsible for showcasing coquettishness, Cyclops is responsible for scheming, and Hawkeye is responsible for showing arms...


    As for Thor, I still continue to abuse me thousands of times by my brother, and I treat my brother like first love.


    As for the X-Men, because the new "X-Men" series is also on daily life, they will not appear in the "Avengers" for the time being, and Wolverine, who was originally scheduled to join, is determined by Hugh Jackman. The $20 million salary was not relieved and had to be temporarily abandoned by the surprise side.


    On the other hand, if there are too many characters, the script is really difficult to measure.


    Even, Jos Weyden once asked Ryan and Kevin Feige for advice, hoping to remove the obscene role of Thor, but got a negative answer. After all, what I want to do is to show these comics in a panoramic format. Character videos.


    Subsequently, Marvel Pictures held a formal press conference on "The Avengers."


    As the lead actor and producer of the film, and the most critical instigator of the entire big plan, Ryan has naturally become the target of reporters'' siege, and he is also willing to cooperate so that the media can hype the project.


    "The film has a very comic script. It seems that these Avengers members have come out of their respective movies. These things are mixed together, and they look silly and interesting."


    Facing the reporter¡¯s microphone, Ryan kept the film¡¯s mystery while also getting a little bit of information. ¡°There are mythical figures here, there are American soldiers from World War II, and there are arms dealers and lone rangers like Tony Stark. It is not easy to put these characters together."


    "Fundamentally speaking, this group of people does not belong to a movie, and we have to use a story to string them together. This story will attract the attention of superhero fans all over the world."


    The director of the film, Jos Weiden, faced many reporters¡¯ doubts, and talked about the general idea of ??the film This kind of film has one advantage, that is, the audience is very familiar with the characters in it, because They have seen the previous movies, so there is no need for us to explain or interpret these characters in this movie. We can directly cut into the plot and tell the story. "


    "Whether it is the character of the characters or their position, it has long been a well-known fact. In this case, we have nothing to avoid, and there is not much nonsense to say. Tell the story directly without doing it. Any paving, let the audience see the climax from the beginning, and keep this high mood all the time, that''s it."


    In the cold wave caused by the financial crisis, the news of the upcoming launch of "Avengers" has injected a shot into the cold movie market. A large number of fans left messages on the Internet, expressing that they can''t wait to see Iron Man and Black Widow , The Hulk, and Captain America and other roles fight side by side.


    Although not without the media questioning that the film will be made into a nondescript hodgepodge, it cannot stop Disney Pictures from spending US$230 million in production costs for the film. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 806： Black ** and Captain America

    The huge studio is arranged into a messy workshop. Several cameras are cleverly distributed in the field, and they are busy recording every picture in front of each other without interfering with each other. The photographer driving the Steadicam equipment hides on the other side. , Take some close-up shots at any time.


    The shooting is not consistent, and the longest shot is only about ten seconds. The **** Scarlett Johansson and her two stunt doubles will alternate from time to time.


    Scarlett is only responsible for showing off her face and **** figure in front of the camera, and almost all other difficult fighting scenes are done by a substitute.


    After the post-montage processing, there will be no problems with these shots.


    Of course, it¡¯s not difficult to tell the difference. Those black widows are not facing the camera and their faces covered by hair. They are basically done by stuntmen.


    To be precise, there are but not many shots that require Scarlett''s hands.


    Although fitness training has been strengthened in recent months, Ryan¡¯s figure has been maintained very well, the role itself is not complicated, and he is also a producer, even if he does not have his own role, he stays on the set most of the time Among.


    "A lot of cg images have already produced prototypes."


    When the shooting stopped, Kevin Feige introduced the special effects progress of the film to him, "The location collection was completed long ago, and most of our scenes will be performed in the studio. In addition, New Mexico gave us a hundred Nine out of the tax rebates."


    Like most Hollywood crews, "The Avengers" also chose to leave California and come to New Mexico, where taxes and subsidies are more favorable. As early as June, Surprise rented several studios here and began to build. The set model, from the day the crew enters the studio, can shoot non-stop.


    The sound of "beginning" came from the director''s camera, and Ryan and Kevin Feige ended the exchange. Again, I put my eyes on the set.


    Today, I mainly filmed the drama of Black Widow Natasha Normanoff. After finishing the filming of the complicated fighting drama, Scarlett had a more relaxed literary drama.


    She was wearing black stockings and tight-fitting short skirts of the same color, carrying high heels in one hand and a mobile phone provided by the sponsor in the other.


    "Yes, Steve Rogers doesn''t trust you! Because you have waged several wars that shouldn''t have happened, which is inconsistent with his philosophy."


    Her words are obviously related to Ryan''s role, "Phil. You and Nick Fury should know that Captain America is loyal to this country, not a certain government or organization, even if the founder of this organization is Peggy Carter! "


    "That billionaire doesn''t trust me." She continued to walk away, "Phil, you can deal with the big money and the big guy, and Steve will leave it to me."


    "Cut!"


    Jos Weiden, who was sitting behind the director''s camera, called to a halt, and then notified, "Transition to Studio 3. Tell Ryan to prepare."


    This is the movie shooting. It took more than ten days to build a venue. It only took less than a day to declare a birthday and return to life. The shooting process is completely a process of burning money.


    Leave the studio. Ryan went directly to his makeup trailer to remove the routine makeup to make his look more in line with the role of Steve Rogers, and there was someone from the action steering group. A thick bandage was wrapped around his hand.


    I got out of the makeup trailer and turned into a studio a few sizes next to it, which has been set up as an old-fashioned training ground. It is the venue where Steve Rogers has been training every day since he woke up from the freezing state.


    With a full understanding of everything that happened after World War II, what the US government did did not conform to his ideas, and even in some ways became the person he had vowed to destroy, even if it was the S.H.I.E.L.D. who saved him. History Steve Rogers also doesn''t have much sense of trust. Relatively speaking, Natasha Normanoff, who once stood side by side and experienced the test of life and death, is one of the few people he can trust.


    There is no difficulty for Ryan to play a handsome role like this, but after hearing Jos Weiden talk about his position and a few small issues to pay attention to, he stood in front of the sandbag.


    "The eleventh scene, the first scene, now begins!"


    After the assistant director¡¯s voice sounded, Ryan, like a professional boxer, banged the sandbag hanging in front of him. This was not a false hit, but a real hit, even if it was wrapped in bandages. Feel the pain.


    After filming a few scenes of punching the sandbag, the crew replaced it with another hollow sandbag. After Ryan punched the fake product a few times, he punched the sandbag with one straight punch, and the ejection device on the other side was at the same time. When activated, the sandbag was blown away by him like fallen leaves blown by the strong wind.


    "Ok!"


    The shots taken look ordinary and ordinary, and they must be post-processed to turn them into excellent film images.


    In the director''s loudspeaker, Jos Weiden''s voice rang again, "Where is Miss Johnson?"


    Next, it''s the turn of Black Widow and Captain America.


    "I don''t think we need to take trial shots?"


    Scarlett, wearing high heels, leggings and short jacket, walked over, "We had a scene last night."


    "That depends on the director''s meaning." Ryan will not interfere with the director''s work casually on the set.


    "Why am I always surprised by the screenwriter..."


    Seeing the staff were still busy sorting out the lighting and props, Scarlett said softly to Ryan, "Want to pair Black Widow and Captain America?"


    "Because the audience likes watching superhero interactions." Ryan rubbed his hands gently, "especially two ninety-year-old superheroes, one man and one woman."


    "But don''t you think it''s weird for two ninety-year-olds to fall in love?" Scarlett was obviously using chat to relax.


    Ryan directly borrowed the lines of the Black Widow, "So love is a child¡¯s trick. Steve Rogers and Natasha Normanoff are more of a mixture of comrades-in-arms, colleagues, and life and death. Complex feelings together."


    Not long after the two chatted, an assistant came to inform to make preparations, and Ryan and Scarlett walked towards their respective positions.


    After the assistant director called to start, Steve Rogers, played by Ryan, dragged a sandbag from the ground and hung it in the air. He banged it again, and suddenly there was a familiar and yet familiar sound from the other side. Crisp female voice.


    "Steve, are you insomnia again?"


    Rogers stopped and looked at the doorway. The person here was Natasha Normanov, the black widow.


    "It''s been a long time, Nata." Rogers hit the sandbag again. "I have slept for sixty years. I have had enough sleep."


    "Then go out and look at this colorful world." The black widow walked over unhurriedly, "Go and find a chick, maybe it feels much better."


    Turning his head and looking at the black widow, Rogers stopped, unwrapped the bandage on his hand, and walked to the other side, "When I fell into the water, the world was still at war, but then we were fighting for justice. I woke up. People told me that we won, but what I saw was that we lost more."


    "This country has made a lot of mistakes over the years." The Black Widow walked directly across from him, "I have made some recently."


    "Need me?" Rogers asked.


    "I need you to save the world." The black widow directly handed over a document she was holding. "A very serious incident."


    "This is Hydra''s secret weapon." Rogers recognized the Universe Rubik''s Cube after just a glance, "Is it still there?"


    "Remember Howard? Stark?"


    Seeing Steve Rogers nodded, the Black Widow continued, "This was taken from the sea when Howard was looking for you. It has now been stolen..."


    "It shouldn''t be fished up!"


    Picking up his bag, Rogers walked towards the door, followed by the Black Widow, "Steve, I know this world has become different from what you imagined, but this country needs you..."


    "Come and pick me up tomorrow morning." Rogers looked back, "Don''t be too late."


    "I have placed the mission report and specific analysis in your apartment."


    "Ok!"


    When Ryan walked out of the iron door of the fitness room, Jos Weiden''s voice came through the loudspeaker, "This one is over!"


    Walking back with the old-fashioned backpack, Ryan handed over to the assistant who rushed over, and kept rubbing his hands towards the resting place. Scarlett quickly followed from the other side.


    "Does it hurt?" she asked, "do I need to see a doctor?"


    "It''s just a little uncomfortable." Ryan shook his head. "It''s just a little trouble."


    "When I was shooting an action scene a few days ago." Scarlett followed Ryan and complained a little bit, "I fell and my leg still hurts a little bit now."


    "Do you need me to find a masseur for you?" Ryan understood Scarlett''s goal.


    "I think the masseur you brought is very good She smiled and said, "Can I borrow it for a few days? "


    "If she agrees." Ryan sat in the chair and took the coffee from the assistant. "I have no objection."


    Because of the need to shoot a lot of action scenes, Nicole hired a masseuse specifically for him. From the day he came to New Mexico, Scarlett had been playing the idea of ??a masseuse.


    Strictly speaking, due to the large number of characters, there are not many scenes belonging to Ryan, because most of the composite scenes have already taken shape, the shooting speed is fairly fast, and the interpretation of the characters does not require too much attention. , It¡¯s easy to shoot.


    Except for a trip back to Los Angeles for Christmas and spending the third Christmas with her daughter in her life, Ryan stayed on the set in New Mexico, even if it was the New Year, but after entering 2009, Natalie Leading her team to New Mexico.


    The project officially named "The Hurt Locker", which has been in preparation for nearly half a year, is also about to enter the filming stage. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 807： Cozy male vase

    "It was your new boyfriend who was taken by Loki?"


    Standing on a deck-like table, Ryan put his hands in his pockets and looked at the green screen below, as if it was really an ocean, "I heard that your relationship is very good?"


    "Agent Button?" Scarlett came from behind and stood beside him, "Love is a kid''s trick. I owe him a favor."


    She turned and walked back, and said, "Let''s go in quickly, it will be hard to breathe here later."


    Ryan looked around, followed behind her, and asked, "Is this a submarine?"


    The camera passed smoothly. Taking off the old-fashioned brown coat, Ryan returned to his resting place. Scarlett, who spent most of her spare time these days, followed, and confronted Nata who was sitting in the chair. Li beckoned.


    "Hi, Nat."


    "Scarlett."


    When the two of them sat down, Natalie gave each a cup of coffee, "You look very spicy."


    "Thank you for the compliment." Scarlett took a sip of coffee and replied with praise, "The taste of your coffee is getting better and better."


    Although the shooting has been going on for many days, but apart from the intersection of work, Ryan has almost no contact with other people. The two sides are completely different levels of existence. If it is not necessary, other''superheroes'' will not come to disturb the two'' Grandfather and grandmother'' level old monsters.


    As the actual boss of the film, it is impossible for Ryan to mingle with those who work for him.


    Now that he is in his current position, it is difficult to say what thoughts exist in the people who want to make friends with him. The friends that Ryan has been with have also established friendships from a young age or even a childhood.


    As for Scarlett, some of the male movie stars on the set are very interested in her, but she has no affection for those people. For example, a **** like Robert Downey Jr. tried it out and gave up. After all, Scarlett in this world has a prominent family in Hollywood and is an important member of Disney''s management. No one wants to set up a powerful enemy for himself because of picking up girls.


    In Ryan''s view, Scarlett has also changed a lot of people because of his appearance. It can be said that the difference in growth environment and friends has also given her a completely different personality from what she remembers.


    "Scarlet..." Ryan suddenly remembered something, "I remember you didn''t talk about your boyfriend seriously, did you?"


    "Ah...cough..."


    Scarlett, who was holding the coffee, seemed to be choked. She coughed several times and blinked quickly. After finally getting along, he didn''t answer Ryan''s words, but turned to Natalie, "Nat, your boyfriend seems to have an idea for me."


    "Scarlett!" Ryan glared at her, Scarlett turned her head and shrank back, "This is just a joke."


    "Nate, you don''t mind. Are you?" She looked at Natalie again.


    Natalie smiled and shook her head, and then continued with Ryan''s topic, "Speaking of which, Scarlett. I really want to have never seen you take your boyfriend home? No, I wish I never heard you talk about men. Friends business."


    In recent years, although Scarlett has continued to have scandals, she is a girlfriend and neighbor. Natalie knew it was just a scandal.


    "Well..." Scarlett seemed to stop talking, and finally said, "This is a secret."


    I heard Scarlett say so. Ryan and Natalie are not good at questioning, after all, this is a country that pursues personal freedom.


    The props have been removed and the scene has been rebuilt, ready to shoot the fighting scene. Another Captain America is wearing a helmet and carrying a shield and is making corresponding preparations.


    Like the Black Widow, most of Steve Rogers'' action scenes will also be performed by stunt doubles. For this reason, the crew has prepared three doubles for Ryan. One of them wears an A-shaped helmet, almost watching him. There is not much difference, if you add the post-modification, it is really Captain America.


    "I really enjoy shooting like this." Ryan put down the empty coffee cup and watched the melee of Thor, Iron Man and Captain America in the arena. He whispered, "All the difficult moves are completed by stunts, I It¡¯s more to show your face in front of the camera, and sometimes I think it¡¯s very pleasant to make a male vase."


    "That''s because you are depraved." Scarlett said unceremoniously, "You only have an Oscar for best actor now, so you don''t want to make progress anymore."


    "He has a prejudice against literary films." Natalie said Ryan''s voice, "and Oscar has a prejudice against commercial films."


    "This is a contradiction that cannot be reconciled." Ryan opened his hands and said in a low voice, "If I were to win an award for a role with mental problems or abnormal behavior, I would rather be a vase in a superhero movie."


    "Your age is also an obstacle to winning again." Natalie has become an Oscar expert. "There are very few actors who can win awards before the age of thirty-five. You won the first place when you were a little over twenty. An Oscar for best actor, with the style of the academy and your attitude of constantly starring in large-scale commercial films, you don¡¯t have to think about the second best actor until you are thirty-five, unless you have PR like last year or this year."


    After speaking, she quietly stretched out her hand and squeezed Ryan''s hand firmly, "I really don''t know what to say."


    "No need to say anything." Ryan shook Natalie''s hand back, "make "The Hurt Locker."


    "What are you talking about?" Scarlett approached suspiciously, "Why don''t I understand?"


    "It''s going to be a transition." Ryan looked at the crew and stood up, "There is my play below."


    This film requires very few exterior shots, most of which are performed against a green screen. Almost all backgrounds and explosions rely on synthesis.


    "Send people to these buildings."


    Standing on the green screen of the car, Ryan dressed in a standard Captain America dress, said to the two police officers, "The people in the building may be panicked, they may hit the gun. You take them to the subway, don¡¯t Let them come to the street!"


    Time is tight, he said very fast, "From here all the way to Thirty-Ninth Avenue is blocked."


    "Why do we listen to you?" The police officer waved his hand in dissatisfaction.


    Then, two stuntmen full of motion capture devices jumped into the car, and Ryan easily knocked them to the ground according to a preset routine.


    After he waved his shield and flew the last''enemy'', the police officer immediately shouted to the phone, "Send people to these buildings and take them on the subway. Don''t let them go down the street until they reach Thirty-Ninth Street. , To block all of them."


    At the end of the day¡¯s shooting, Ryan changed his clothes, took the RV with Natalie and Scarlett, and returned to the hotel in the city. The three of them went back to their rooms and took a shower. They went to a restaurant full of Mexican characteristics near the hotel. Try Latin dishes that are rarely eaten.


    Mexican beef stew, tortillas, and pies with vegetables, meat, and cheese are the restaurant¡¯s signature dishes.


    After just having a taste, Natalie and Scarlett put down their knives and forks and drank a few more glasses of pure juice instead.


    "These dishes have too much calories." Natalie said, "We have passed the developmental stage long ago. These foods are simply the natural enemies of actresses."


    "Unless you want to be a special actor." Scarlett answered, "Otherwise it is better for women to stay away from these foods."


    Shrugging, Ryan has long been accustomed to this situation. Most actresses develop a diet after finishing their physical development. Many of them are even hungry all year round, such as Natalie and Scarlett. This kind of food is still good, and some people almost completely replace their daily meals with meal replacement powder.


    Even, there have been rumors in the circle that Madonna can maintain her current physical condition because she has been living by water and yoga.


    "There have always been such rumors." Scarlett shrugged, "If I were replaced by me, I would rather not be an actor than treat my stomach so badly."


    "You have lost a lot."


    Natalie, who was sitting across from Ryan, stretched out her hand and squeezed the arm of Scarlett next to her, "I can''t believe this is Scarlett I knew before."


    "Because some people always like to laugh at me." At this point, Scarlett suddenly stopped, and then changed the subject, "Tell me about your new movie, Nat, I remember you are going to the Middle East to shoot on site, how come to New Mexico Up."


    "The situation in the Middle East is very tense now." Ryan took the conversation and talked about the turbulent Middle East situation that has a great relationship with him. "The Persian Gulf has always been restless, if not for successive troubles, there will be the war in Afghanistan and the war in Afghanistan. As a precedent for the Iraq war, it is estimated that the federal government has already taken action against Iran."


    The situation in Iran can be said to be because it has changed the biggest international situation. Now the clouds around the Persian Gulf are densely covered, and it can be described as a trigger.


    "It''s not realistic to go to Iraq to shoot on the spot." Natalie put down the cup and said slowly The part of the studio will be shot here. I plan to put the rest in Israel, and I have already contacted someone. The Israeli authorities, they agreed to shoot on-site in some areas. "


    Originally Natalie wanted to shoot in Jordan, but Ryan''s persuasion dispelled the idea.


    There may not be any accidents, but Ryan has to prepare for the worst. Think about it. A standard Jewish female director born in Israel who is going to make a film about the war in Arab countries is still from the perspective of looking down and giving charity. In China, if the content of the script is disseminated, what kind of reaction will those extremist religious elements have?


    Israel is different, that is Natalie¡¯s home country, where she is like Charlize in South Africa, enjoying the heroic treatment, and Ryan has greeted the National Jewish Association very early, and the other party will talk to Israel. The government negotiated to ensure the safety of the crew over there.


    In addition, because there are still many explosive scenes to be filmed on site, Ryan also borrowed his special effects team from Michael Bay so that Natalie, who is completely inexperienced in this field, will not encounter too much. Difficulties. (To be continued...)


    ...

 Chapter 808： No one is more noble than anyone

    Not only these, a female director who wants to make a good film reflecting the war often has to pay more than a male director. This is not the type that Natalie is good at. Even as an actor, she rarely comes into contact with war documentary films. I got the script at the beginning of the year, and it was delayed until this year. Natalie has been preparing for the whole year.


    She believes in Ryan''s judgment at the Oscars, and she also understands that a female director who wants to achieve a historic breakthrough at the Oscars needs more than movies.


    For this reason, Natalie consulted a lot of information and specifically went to visit Paul Haggis, the director of "The Battle of Ela Valley", and once applied to the Pentagon for a field visit to the real bomb disposal unit, but was refused.


    Fortunately, not only is she a Jew, she has also taken a clear stand on Israel over the years. After returning to Israel in the second half of last year, she had spent a full month in the Israeli military camp. She also had a good view of those soldiers who often deal with terrorists. initial understanding.


    These all helped her complete the filming.


    Then there is the special effects team that Ryan borrowed from Michael Bay. Perhaps these people are not helpful to the ideological nature of the film, but are top players in war scenes and playing with tension.


    Also, Ryan hired George Clooney as a producer. When it comes to political correctness and political sensitivity, he is definitely a master in Hollywood.


    After all, everyone knows that George Clooney is aiming at Arnold Schwarzenegger''s road, and he is like Ryan, a speculator in film politics.


    There is nothing to say about this, and Ryan never denies this. If you can''t even use the social and political situation for your own profit, then you don''t need to play these capital games, you can find a place to retire early.


    Although when Disney Pictures contacted George Clooney, the other party put forward conditions such as 30% investment and corresponding revenue sharing, but Ryan did not refuse. In fact, they all knew it well. It is unlikely that this movie will generate huge profits. It is not a bad thing for both parties to share the investment. After all, both sides have their own goals.


    Naturally, Ryan needless to say, all he wants to do is use the influence of political correctness to let Natalie achieve what a female director has never done before at the Oscars.


    And George Clooneyken shared the US$6 million in the total production cost of US$20 million. It is not without reason. Firstly, to continue to pay Ryan this line is extremely beneficial to future transformation; Secondly, the film won a big Oscar. If he succeeds, as a producer, he can greatly improve his political style.


    As for whether the film will be successful. Just look at the films that Ryan had prepared for the Olympics in the past, and he knew how high the odds were.


    Besides, this 6 million US dollars may not be a loss. If the film is awarded, it will inevitably drive DVD and Internet-on-demand revenue by a large margin, and even the TV license fee will be greatly increased.


    Two people who are motivated by greed and have broad connections in Hollywood and politics have joined forces, undoubtedly adding another layer of insurance for next year''s Oscars.


    If it wasn''t for the inappropriate age, George Clooney would fight for the leading actor.


    If according to the standards of Ryan''s previous life, George Clooney would definitely not associate. As a political speculator, he can imagine his position on the other side of the Pacific, but according to this standard, 99% of Hollywood''s first-tier stars, directors, producers and executives of media groups. I am afraid that they are all in this ranks, to the top of Hollywood, political correctness is the most basic position, even Spielberg and James Cameron. There have also been remarks similar to George Clooney.


    Ryan can''t control others. This is the attitude of the entire North American mainstream society, at least TV stations and Walt Disney media. Under his strict restraint, he did not become like his previous life.


    The studio rented by "The Hurt Locker" is not very far from the "Avengers" side. Ryan can also go and see at will in his spare time for shooting.


    However, Natalie¡¯s crew is still waiting for the actors. Jeremy Renner is one of the least dramatic among the Avengers. After the filming is completed, he will be transferred directly to the crew of The Hurt Locker.


    "Hi, Ryan."


    As soon as he walked to the studio, the handsome George Clooney greeted him and proactively stretched out his hand. Ryan shook his hand gently, "Everything is going well, George?"


    "Overall, it''s not bad." George Clooney walked inside with Ryan. "The scenes in the studio are not cumbersome, but Ryan, when will you return the actor to us?"


    "Jeremy Renner is out on location."


    Entering the studio, Ryan looked at Natalie who was sitting behind the camera and said to George Clooney, "If nothing else, he will be able to join the shooting next month."


    "Then we have to rush to work." George Clooney did not hide, "after all, we have to catch up with next year''s Oscar."


    Ryan nodded, but didn''t say much.


    George Clooney is a smart man. Although he has not made a successful transition in his previous life, he is extremely good at speculation, just like he took the initiative to find Ryan to become the director of "Argo".


    Although it is difficult for this kind of person to give birth to a good impression, it does not make people hate it, because people in the whole circle are actually playing this kind of game, and no one is more noble than anyone.


    The progress of the filming is not fast, and it can even be described as a snail-like speed. Natalie sometimes calls to stop because of the actors¡¯ problems, and sometimes interrupts the filming for her own reasons. This type of film is indeed true for female directors. It is not easy, she is obviously still in the adjustment stage.


    Since the filming is about the life of American soldiers in Iraq, Natalie often communicates with the special adviser of the crew. It is a retired American military officer who has served in Iraq for a long time and has assisted bomb disposal troopers many times.


    Regarding these, Ryan can''t help much, he can only create the most powerful shooting conditions and make good use of the political and social environment.


    "I got the exact news." George Clooney said suddenly, "The Obama administration is preparing to withdraw troops from Iraq in batches. The earliest batch is estimated to leave Iraq this year. This is extremely beneficial to us."


    "George..." Ryan thought of another film that will be released this year, and couldn''t help shook his head. "The opponents we face are also extremely powerful."


    "You''re not talking about James Cameron, are you?" George Clooney couldn''t help frowning, "If his film breaks through again at the box office, it is indeed a trouble."


    Although it is troublesome, Ryan is not actually as worried as he showed. "Avatar" and "Titanic" are fundamentally different. Unless the academy judges are thirty years younger, they will never make the heavyweight class. The award was awarded to a cg cartoon.


    According to the Oscar rules of the game, the loss of "Avatar" to "The Hurt Locker" in the previous life is not wrong at all. If "Avatar" can win the best director and best film, it will be a real upset.


    In fact, it is obvious what the virtues of the core judges of the college are and what factors will be influenced when choosing a film.


    It is no exaggeration to say that the decisive factor for the Oscar victory depends more and more on the outside of the film.


    For example, in order to reduce the possibility of accidents, Ryan asked Touchstone Pictures to buy the North American distribution rights of "Reading of Life and Death" produced by a German studio last year, and forced the film to be released this year and not released in North America. , Does not have the qualification to declare Oscar at all.


    Oscar public relations is not a secret, but these invisible tricks are often far away from the public and even Oscar''s vision.


    When the crew was resting, Ryan took the coffee pot from Anna, took Natalie''s cup, and walked behind the monitor.


    "Have you found the feeling, dear." Ryan filled her with a cup of coffee and handed it over. Natalie, who looked through the lens of the camera, took it without raising her head, "Thank you."


    She drank a small cup in one breath, then returned the cup to Ryan, and gently raised her eyebrows.


    "There are no explosion scenes and war scenes yet." She shook her head, "It''s much harder than I expected."


    Without waiting for Ryan to answer, Natalie said again, "But this is more challenging."


    Ryan did not speak to disturb Natalie, but sat aside and watched the shot.


    "The Hurt Locker" is a feature film and a documentary film. This is a story about bomb demolition, and it is also a ¡®peace tragic¡¯ that is customary in the United States.


    Just like filming "127" hours, Natalie used a lot of semi-documentary techniques. Based on Ryan''s speculation, she wanted to show a close to the documentary level of the Iraqi battlefield and the living conditions of American soldiers.


    But like other Hollywood-style war reflection films, the film will always stand from the standpoint of the United States, and the reflection given is nothing more than the mercy of the victor. This will not change, and it will be a politically correct film. This must be maintained.


    Hollywood directors and producers are not stupid, nor are they stupid enough to make films that think from the standpoint of other countries'' interests ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Iraqis will not welcome the US military. "


    At lunch, Natalie told Ryan a lot of her own thoughts, "Their attitude towards the US military is indifferent, and I will respond to this truthfully."


    "Go on." Ryan made a please gesture.


    "But this is a very small aspect." Natalie shrugged. "Just like you said, the US military in the film is loyal, friendly, united, dedicated to their duties, and regards honor as life, and we must highlight their positives. Image!"


    "My dear." Ryan told the truth, "Even if we discredit the US military and praise the Iraqis, they will still treat us as enemies."


    "I know this, so I won''t do that kind of stupid thing." Natalie said helplessly, "The issue of ethnicity, religion, and ideology is a contradiction that cannot be adjusted at all." (To be continued. .)

 Chapter 809： Who can guarantee the last laugh

    "father¡­¡­"


    Hearing the familiar shout, Ryan quickly turned his head, and in the surprised eyes of many people on the crew, a blond and cute Barbie-like little guy swayed over, "Dad!"


    Ryan didn''t care about other people''s eyes at all. He hurried up to meet Sandy and hugged Sandy. The little guy immediately kissed him **** the cheek, "It''s weird..."


    "Look..." She pointed to the Captain America uniform that Ryan was wearing. "Yours."


    At the same time, he wiped his mouth again, deliberately disgusting, "Okay... unpleasant."


    "Who brought you here?" Ryan looked to the side, it was Sandy''s nanny.


    "Mummy." Sandy pointed outside the studio. "Mummy is talking... to that idiot... Sister... Scarlett."


    There is no need to ask, Ryan also knows that this kind of remark must have been taught by Taylor. Just as Sandy was talking intermittently, Nicole had already walked into the studio, her light blue eyes slowly swept over here, and went straight away. come.


    "Mummy."


    When Nicole came closer, the little guy twisted, as if he wanted to jump down to find his mother.


    "Don''t you like Dad?" Nicole didn''t mean to pick her up, but asked instead, "Did you forget what you said on the plane?"


    "Hmm..." Sandy bit his finger and said to Ryan, "Dad, I miss you."


    This sentence is very fluent, obviously practicing many times, Ryan kissed her forehead, "Dear, dad miss you too."


    I confessed to the assistant, Ryan held Sandy and called Nicole to go directly to his trailer. Although the space here is not very large, it is better than being constantly looked at with curious eyes in the studio, even if he doesn¡¯t care. , Also consider the feelings of the little guy.


    Handing Sandy to Nicole, Ryan makes a cup of coffee. Putting it in front of Nicole, he sat opposite the small round table and asked, "Why didn''t you call before you came?"


    "Sandy missed you." Nicole suddenly tilted her head. "Do you feel embarrassed?"


    "Embarrassed?" Ryan was taken aback, and immediately understood what Nicole meant, and couldn''t help but shook his head, "Sandy is my daughter, no matter when and where, this will never change."


    "Mummy." Sandy looked at his father in a daze. He looked at his mother again, "Fighting? Are you talking to Dad? It''s like... Me and Apple?"


    "Honey." Nicole nodded her little nose. "This is how Mommy expresses intimacy to Dad."


    "Oh..." The little guy scratched his head.


    "When will your scene be finished?" Nicole put down Sandy and let the little guy lean on her lap. "We can go back to Los Angeles together, or take Sonny to Australia. She has never been there yet."


    "I''m going to New York to go out in a few days." Ryan thought about his schedule. "I won''t have my play after New York. We can go back to Sydney or Brisbane for vacation before the Oscars."


    "Sydney..." the little guy asked curiously. "Mummy, where is it?"


    "My dear, that''s Mommy''s hometown." She pinched Sandy''s little nose again. "It''s also Sonny''s hometown."


    "Ok."


    Sandy nodded. Turning the table, stretched out his hand to Ryan, Ryan picked her up and put her on his lap. "Sanny, do you want to go to Australia, there are hares and wild deer."


    The little guy turned his head. Looking at her mother, after Nicole nodded, she said, "I want to go."


    Although his daughter is obviously closer to Nicole, Ryan doesn¡¯t care. This is a normal thing. He and Nicole talked about the operation of Kidman¡¯s studio, and the topic naturally turned to "Weaknesses" which is still being screened. on.


    "Yesterday''s data."


    Speaking of this movie, Nicole is still very happy. "The North American box office has 223.57 million U.S. dollars. Looking at it now, there is no problem with more than 250 million U.S. dollars. If you can gain something at the Oscars, it will be great. Hope to hit 300 million U.S. dollars."


    "The best picture nomination is just a consolation prize." Ryan said while playing around with Sandy, "We only have one goal."


    "The situation is not very optimistic." Nicole rubbed his forehead, "Except for Disney, most of the media tend to Meryl Streep."


    "Relax, dear." Ryan shook his head at Nicole, "Meryl Streep is the least likely to win an award."


    Among the Oscar nominations announced a few days ago, "Weakness" only won two nominations for Best Picture and Best Actress. Needless to say, the latter is almost a comforting nomination. Throughout the history of Oscars, there are very few A film like "The Weakness" can still be nominated for best picture without nominating the best editor, the best screenplay, and the best director.


    Among the four opponents nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars, Anne Hathaway does not have to consider her qualifications and age alone. Melissa Leo¡¯s qualifications are also a big issue; Angelina ? Julie wants to be the best actress, so she might as well switch careers and get the best director.


    The remaining biggest threat is Meryl Streep, who starred in "Suspicious Child Abuse", she is definitely a legend among Hollywood actresses, but legend does not mean winning, why she nominated so many times , But rarely win awards? In fact, the reason is not complicated.


    Because apart from the possible public relations of the film producer, Meryl Streep seldom takes the initiative in public relations. For Oscars, non-public relations basically means that they have no chance with the award.


    Ryan has the exact news, at least this year Meryl Streep did not do public relations. As for whether the film crew will do it, there is no need to think about it. "Child Abuse Suspicious Cloud" is an authentic Miramax product!


    Using off-board tricks to suppress "Reading of Life and Death", Harvey Weinstein promised not to PR for Meryl Streep. The other three nominees have no half advantage in front of Nicole. Pielberg and Paramount will mobilize resources to fully support. If the best actress will fall by this way, it can only be said that the academy is tired of Ryan and Disney.


    The chance of this is very small, and he himself is an extremely important member of the academy.


    Besides, most people are actually playing this game of fame and fortune called Oscars with various advantages. Ryan is just one of the more powerful parties, and he has not violated the rules and the academy¡¯s rules, either overtly or secretly. Bottom line.


    After chatting with Nicole for a while, there was a knock on the door outside, and Ryan''s assistant came to remind him that there was going to be a scene that belonged to him.


    Back in the studio, with a touch of makeup, Ryan avoided the ¡®blasted¡¯ cars and concrete, and stood on the bridge through gunpowder with five other protagonists in different costumes.


    "The one hundred and seventy-fifth scene, the twenty-second scene!" Jos Weiden shouted himself, "Go!"


    "Captain," said Robert Downey Jr., who was full of motion capture devices, "let''s give an order!"


    "Okay, pay attention." Captain America Steve Rogers, played by Ryan, did his part. "Since you can''t close the portal, you have to control the situation."


    He pointed diagonally above, "Barton, go up to the top of the building, observe everything, and report the whereabouts of the enemy."


    The captain looked at Iron Man again, "Stark, guard the blockade. Anything that ran out of three blocks will either come back or be destroyed."


    This is the brains of the Avengers, the noisy freaks, finally united.


    "Tor." The captain continued to give orders, "You go find a way to block the portal, can''t you summon lightning? Use lightning to deal with these bastards."


    "Nata." He walked to the black widow. "We stay on the ground and contain the enemy''s forces."


    "Hulk..." Ryan raised his finger at Mark Rufagg, who was also covered with motion capture devices, "Smash it hard!"


    "!" Joes Weiden''s voice sounded, "I''m here for today."


    Taking off the helmet, Ryan jumped off the broken bridge, handed the shield to the assistant, waved to Nicole, and walked into the dressing room next to him. After removing the makeup, he returned to the studio and stood next to Nicole. A few curious people, especially Stan Lee who came here a few days ago, also appeared in the studio, talking to Sandy.


    "Hi, Stan." Ryan beckoned to him.


    "Ryan." He stretched out his hand and shook Ryan quickly. "The little guy is so cute."


    "Thank you."


    Ryan hugged Sandy who was walking beside him, "This is my angel."


    "Dad..." Sandy pointed to the other side suddenly, "idiot...sister...coming."


    In the crisp sound of footsteps, Scarlett Johansson came close, probably hearing Sandy¡¯s words, and couldn¡¯t help but said bitterly, ¡°It¡¯s definitely Tyler! Sonny, did this tall and thin villain teach you? what?"


    "She won''t let me say." Sandy turned and hid in Ryan''s arms.


    "Okay, we should go." After Nicole reminded him, he said goodbye to Stan Lee and looked at Scarlett, "Shall we have dinner together?"


    "I still don''t bother you Scarlett walked over, grabbed Sandy''s little hand and shook it, "Honey, goodbye. "


    "Sister..." Sandy looked very polite in Nicole''s eyes, "Goodbye."


    Stayed in New Mexico for another two days, filming only a few scenes left. Ryan and Nicole went to New York with the crew. The crew only had a two-day itinerary here, except that the two crews were only shooting scene materials. Others gathered in Central Park, New York, to film the scene at the end of the film.


    The strongest team on the planet completed the final assembly in New York, and then rushed to all directions as in the script.


    Ryan and Nicole took Sandy to Australia and completed the trip from Sydney to Brisbane. They stayed on the farm until February before returning to North America. At this time, Los Angeles was enveloped by a strong Oscar atmosphere, fighting for it. The fierce battle is about to decide the outcome.


    In this battle between fame and fortune, no one can guarantee that they will have the last laugh before the final result comes out. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 810： Oscar leaks

    As we all know, the ratings of Oscars in recent years have hit record lows. This year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Oscar Organizing Committee have spent huge sums of money to build the most luxurious crystal stage in history, aiming to capture people¡¯s attention visually. According to information received by Ryan, the stage design for the 81st Oscar Awards, designed by Broadway setting master David Rockwell, is decorated with 92,000 Swarovski crystals, forming a spectacular "Crystal Waterfall" To create a fairy tale world.


    This year¡¯s Oscar Organizing Committee has not only refurbished the stage decorations, but also boldly reformed the specific viewing links. During the awards gala, the organizing committee will follow the example of the "Super Bowl" and intensively broadcast the upcoming Hollywood blockbusters to strive for more. Eyeballs also get more advertising fees.


    The organizing committee also deliberately added interactive links to give full play to the enthusiasm of the audience.


    In addition, the traditionally conservative Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was rarely opened once. One week before the awards ceremony, a huge publicity and hype was launched in conjunction with numerous media.


    Of course, the academy represents the authority of the film industry, and it is naturally impossible to create those inferior gossip news to win attention.


    Therefore, the key speculation goals are the highlights of this awards ceremony.


    For example, can a handsome host become a "killer" for young women.


    In order to save the ratings decline of recent awards ceremonies, the Oscar Organizing Committee has worked **** the host. The Australian male star, recognized as the world¡¯s **** man "Wolverine" Hugh Jack Man, will host this awards ceremony. Oscar Organizing Committee This time, the "Beauty Men''s Plan" will be set up, in the hope that more older female audiences can drive family members to watch the awards ceremony and attract viewers.


    At least from the perspective of the publicity effect, the public is still full of expectations for Hugh Jack Man¡¯s hosting.


    For example, can Meryl Streep set a new Oscar record.


    Meryl Streep, who has been nominated for the fifteenth Oscar, unsurprisingly broke the record held by Catherine Hepburn, setting the highest number of Oscar nominations, but only two Oscar nominees have been awarded so far, and four The second time winner Catherine Hepburn still has a big gap.


    If this year''s Oscar for best actress is in the competition. Meryl Streep can really hug the Golden Man as the media thinks, then she will once again be recorded in the annals of history and become one of the few actresses to win three Oscars for acting.


    It is undeniable that Meryl Streep is the best acting actress today, at least one of the top three or four.


    For example, can Nicole Kidman win the Oscar for Best Actress for the third time.


    Like Natalie last year, Nicole swept the best actress crown in a series of awards, including the Golden Globe Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards. If she wins the third time, she can at least surpass May in the number of golden figures. Lil Streep.


    The world is very realistic, and the uncrowned king will never compare to someone who has many honorable awards, otherwise Hollywood actors and directors will be one by one. Nor will he go crazy for Oscars.


    For example, can **** films win Oscars again?


    Even after "Brokeback Mountain", the society has become more tolerant of coming out, but the subject of homosexuality is still a more sensitive topic. Oscar will not discriminate against homosexuality, at least not on the surface, while the homosexual film "Milk" Won many important awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, etc., the former bad boy Sean Penn and "Milk" have once again embarked on the Oscar road with the hope of the **** community.


    For example, can Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie win both.


    Pete and Julie were nominated for Best Actor and Actress for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "Suspicious Cloud" respectively. If they can win both at the same time, it must be a major Oscar record.


    unfortunately. This is just a booze from the academy. Even the most confused people understand that the odds of this pair of winning are infinitely close to zero.


    For example, who will be the most beautiful actress on the red carpet.


    This is completely a topic that the academy put together, after all, every Oscar red carpet. The audience saw the female stars fighting over and under.


    Also, in order to attract eyeballs, the academy never let go of even the dead.


    Although there is no "Batman", there is no such crazy character. But Heath Ledger still came to the end of his life, because he died at home because of an overdose, and he played another mentally ill role. Unexpectedly, he won the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, just like his previous life, with the advantage of having died, he almost booked the statuette.


    Hollywood always doesn''t mind making money. From the crew of the movie "The Third Kind of People" he starred in to the Oscar organizing committee, they all use Heath Ledger''s death to hype in order to profit from it.


    Of course, such a person has nothing to sympathize with. No first-line Hollywood actor bears less pressure than Heath Ledger. There are many ways to vent pressure. Since Heath Ledger has chosen to take drugs, It is normal to bear the consequences of drug overdose.


    It''s like Ruifan Phoenix who died of a drug overdose, even if there are some reasons behind their brokerage team and public relations team, but they chose the road after all.


    Although the media sighed like Refan Phoenix when he died, they did so only because the public likes to see this. In fact, few people in Hollywood really care, even those actors who are similar to Heath Ledger. Take a long sigh of relief, after all, there has been one strong competitor missing.


    As for the best supporting actor, from judges to competitors to ordinary audiences, no one minds giving it to a dead person. After all, even if the opponent wins the award, it will not bring any surprises or threats in the future.


    It can be said that in order to save the declining ratings of Oscars year by year, the college and the organizing committee are really planning to fight.


    You should know that in the past, the Oscars ceremony was basically stable in the second and third ratings in the United States. Except for the Super Bowl¡ªno programs and events can compete with it¡ªthere are almost no real opponents, but the ratings and ratings in recent years The decline in the viewing crowd has already made the entire Hollywood feel a crisis.


    Propaganda, hype, and throwing eye-catching boo heads are the only ways to increase ratings.


    Of course, if the college is willing to consider those movies that are popular at the box office in the important awards, the ratings will definitely not be a problem, but the college will easily not do so.


    From another perspective, the decline in Oscar ratings is inseparable from the college''s increasingly conservative and niche choices.


    Perhaps the academy felt that the highlights were not attractive enough, or it was just a hype in the media. Just two days before the awards ceremony, surprising news that the Oscar winners list was leaked was posted on the Internet.


    In this list, "Slumdog Millionaire" will win three awards for best film, best director and best photography; while another hit film "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" will only receive best costume design and Two technical awards for the best makeup; for the actor award, Brad Pitt lost to rival Mickey Locke and missed the actor, while Nicole Kidman will defeat Meryl Sterry with "Weakness." Pu won the Oscar for the actress.


    The list also claimed to have the signature of the new academy rotating chairman Sidney Gannis, Amy Adams will win the best supporting actress award, and the best supporting actor award belongs to the dead Heath Ledger, the best director award winner It''s Danny Bowie, the director of "Slumdog Millionaire."


    Numerous media were in an uproar. Disney received a mysterious call from some people, and began to stir up the incident with other entertainment media. Many media collectively asked questions on the eye-catching page-is it possible that the highly confidential Oscar winners list has also been leaked time?


    It is certain that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences came out to refute the rumors.


    "This list is absolutely false," Leslie Unger, spokesperson of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, responded in an interview with the media. "PwC is still making the final statistics on the votes, and the results of the awards are announced. Before, only two people would know the attribution of the award. The college will not inform the winners of the results in advance, let alone send out such a list of awards."


    Generally speaking, Oscar leaks are almost impossible.


    The Oscar selection is a rigorous process. The well-known accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers is responsible for overseeing the selection and counting process. Since they took over the Oscar counting work, there has not been a leak.


    After the ballots are collected, PwC will send two credible vote-counting supervisors to supervise a team in a secret place for the final vote-counting until the winners are out, and they will be divided into two letter-packed bags.


    Only these two supervisors knew the final selection results, and on the night of the awards, the two men took two cars to the Kodak Theater on different routes to prevent them from encountering traffic jams and other accidents at the same time. The whole process seemed Foolproof.


    However, UU reading www.uukanshu. Only the rotating chairman of the academy and the rotating committee of this session know whether there are any tricks in it.


    Perhaps, the big guys in the academy saw a fake list on the Internet and deliberately wanted to take advantage of the hype to increase the attractiveness of this year¡¯s Oscars; or perhaps, this list was faked by them, deliberately adding topics to the media and the public. ¡­


    You know, there is no convincing conclusion about the theft of the Little Golden Man at the beginning of the new millennium.


    Under Ryan''s signal, Disney''s media fully cooperated with the academy''s actions. He has never been a rebellious or unconventional person. It is what he considers most to make money from it.


    At this year¡¯s Oscars, Disney only has the key public relations award for Best Actress in "The Weakness". As for the best film, the North American box office of "Weakness", which continues to climb to 300 million US dollars, is one of the biggest obstacles to winning the award.


    In most cases, high box office is the killer of important Oscar awards. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 811： I am Wolverine!

    Like most of the time in the past, the five films nominated for Best Picture can be considered low-cost films, but the difference is that these five films have completely different performances at the box office, just "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" "''S US$14.52 million in North American box office, surpassed the combined box office of the other three films except "Weakness."


    As for "Weakness", the North American box office has reached a total of 285.76 million U.S. dollars. Even if there are fewer than 300 theaters left in North America, it is not an extravagant hope that the final North American box office will exceed 300 million U.S. dollars.


    However, the high box office of "Weakness" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is not helpful to the film''s awards. Unless they can become "Titanic", they still accept the fate of being discriminated against by conservative judges when voting. .


    On February 22nd, the Kodak Theater at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard once again became the center of the world''s film industry. The noisy and glamorous fame and fortune maker-the Oscar Awards [None] [False] Ceremony opened again Closed the curtain.


    Although the financial crisis had an impact on Hollywood, the reaction to the Oscars did not see any difference from the past.


    Perhaps some glamorous celebrities or studios have become debt black holes, and they still have to show their best on the red carpet.


    For example, Nicholas Cage, the cousin of Sofia Coppola, is just like he used to be. Because of various factors such as financial management, brokers and accountants, he is burdened with huge debts that are likely to be unpaid in this life. In the past few years, even if he starred in Disney¡¯s big-selling "National Treasure" and "Ghost Rider" series, it still hasn''t gotten better. Now it is almost ready to take on the appointment, and it has faintly shown the signs of the king of bad movies.


    The only thing that has improved is that one of Ryan¡¯s foundations is one of Cage¡¯s biggest creditors, even in the face of Sophia Coppola and Francis Coppola. The foundation will not collect debts excessively, even reducing the interest on part of Cage''s loans.


    This is also good. The Italian gang is also a big power in Hollywood. Regardless of whether Cage is an adult or changes his surname, the Coppola family must bear this kindness to a certain extent.


    Everyone is smart, and there are some things that can reach a tacit understanding even if you don''t have to say it.


    For example, Sofia Coppola took the initiative to call the judges of Italian origin at the beginning of the awards season, and they are bound to be inclined when voting.


    For this year and next year''s goals. Ryan can be said to use most of the methods that can be used in the rules.


    The Oscar canvassing competition is fierce, and even if it is, he is not absolutely sure.


    Walking hurriedly across the red carpet, Ryan did not enter the interview area at all, and the broadcaster¡¯s TV station did not come over to disturb his boss. Instead, he focused on the most attractive female celebrities on the red carpet, especially A red carpet queen like Nicole.


    "Hi, Stephen. Hi, George."


    Enter the Kodak Theater. Ryan saw the two familiar back figures in front of him, and hurried after a few steps, the two of them were George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.


    The three greeted each other and walked into the VIP lounge next to them. There was still some time before the award ceremony started, and we sat and chatted together.


    "Ryan, you are so generous." George Lucas looked at Spielberg and joked. "Lucasfilm''s recent capital turnover is also very difficult, can it continue to lend?".


    "As long as you need it." Ryan naturally understood that this was a joke, and he shrugged. Deliberately said, "George, I heard that you want to retire again. In that case, just sell Lucasfilm."


    "I did have such considerations." George Lucas still seems to be joking. "Do you want to take over?"


    "As long as you are willing to sell."


    After Ryan finished speaking, all three of them laughed. No one would take this seriously, even if George Lucas had a good relationship with him, but it involved the sale of billions of dollars in assets. If someone offered a price more exciting than Disney , Presumably Lucasfilm will not think too much about the cooperation between the two parties over the years.


    For Walt Disney''s commercial blockbusters, most of the special effects production is outsourced to Industrial Light & Magic, except for a small part of the special effects department of Pixar Studios. From 2002 to the present, the cooperation with each other has been very pleasant.


    "Ryan, I haven''t thank you yet."


    Spielberg, who had not spoken much, suddenly spoke, "I can''t figure out how many times this is the first time you have helped me."


    "You have also helped me a lot." Ryan made a little golden man''s gesture, "So, Stephen, I will ask you for next year''s Oscar."


    "Ryan, it''s too difficult for you to do it." George Lucas lowered his voice, "Don''t forget that this is an industry dominated by men."


    "So, I have to ask you." Ryan said slowly, "George, she is your student in director."


    "Ryan, you seem to forget." George Lucas laughed, "I am not a member of the academy."


    "Is it important to members of the academy?" Ryan opened his hands and said.


    Yes, George Lucas has not been a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but no one can deny his influence.


    "I have always liked it, and I am very optimistic about Nat." George Lucas pinched his eyebrows, seemingly embarrassed, "She is a smart and motivated girl..."


    "George." Ryan tapped the armrest of the chair lightly. "The feminist movement is becoming more and more prosperous. I believe that with the academy maintaining a politically correct position, the first best female director will soon appear, then..."


    His voice is not loud, but his tone is very serious, "Why is this man not us Jew?"


    George Lucas and Steven Spielberg were silent at the same time. After half a minute, the two nodded gently.


    In fact, anyone who knows Hollywood will understand that even if the composition of this circle is getting more and more mixed, some privileges really belong to the Jews.


    After leaving the VIP lounge, Ryan walked into the main hall of the Kodak Theater, walked through the long aisle, and walked to the first two rows. This is where the crew of "Weakness" is located, and his seat is next to Nicole.


    "Hey, dear."


    After sitting down, he looked at Nicole and said, "You look so beautiful."


    "Thank you!" Nicole showed a reserved smile.


    She was wearing a moon-white shoulderless and low-cut evening dress, with long hair dyed in honey gold, falling on her pure white shoulders, and her neck gracefully curved into a wonderful arc, as beautiful as the goddess of the moon came to the world.


    "Where did you go?" Nicole asked.


    "I met George and Stephen." Ryan looked back at the two big directors who were sitting together. "Talk to them for a while."


    "I seem to be going to say thank you to Stephen in person."


    As part of the top circle of Hollywood, she knows many things well, "In any case, he is trying his best to canvass for me."


    "I''ve already said it for you." Ryan turned around and moved to Nicole''s ear, "Don''t worry, although you can''t see the final result, but according to my statistics, you may be at least 70% of the winners. ."


    Seventy percent can be said to be a very, very high probability. If it is just Ryan''s own public relations, it is at most 40 to 50%. Now, it has combined the power of DreamWorks, Paramount and Walt Disney, and used outside tricks in advance. Get rid of the biggest competitor, and Nicole''s chances of winning are infinitely increased.


    Of course, these things can''t be hidden from the interested people in the circle, and his friendship with Kate Winslet, which was not a deep friendship, has never existed.


    People came over to say hello one after another, Ryan and Nicole changed the subject.


    "I heard that Kodak is in trouble."


    Looking away at Cate Blanchett, Nicole said to Ryan, "They haven''t paid the naming fee for the new issue of Kodak Theater until now."


    "Film is down." Ryan shook his head. "If Kodak doesn''t transform, or if the transformation fails, Kodak Theater will really have to change its name."


    In his opinion, the decline of Kodak is unavoidable. Their largest film business has been greatly impacted by digital technology. After losing the film market, their business in Hollywood, the largest film market, is also shrinking sharply.


    Although many directors and producers are calling for the industry to pay attention to traditional film, technological progress and development will not stop because of this. Digital photography and digital projection have long occupied the mainstream of Hollywood.


    Regardless of the other advantages of digital technology, the cost alone will save a lot of money for producers and distributors.


    The most typical example is the cost of copy production, which is the bulk of the distribution cost. Nowadays, it is about 800 to 1,000 US dollars to print a 35mm format film copy. There are about 3,500 mainstream commercial films and more than 8,000 screens. The only cost is the copy cost. It costs about 7 million US dollars, but what about digital copies?


    Not even a tenth of the money can be used.


    With such a huge gap, there is no need to think about which one will Hollywood manufacturers choose.


    Kodak has missed the best time for transformation. They have no advantage in digital technology, and they are also facing a patent prison ~ www.novelhall.com ~ where they can easily turn over.


    The sound of the stage music interrupted Ryan¡¯s thoughts. The most eye-catching feature of this awards ceremony was naturally the luxurious Swarovski crystal waterfall. In addition, the front row seats for nominees and awards guests, It is infinitely close to the stage, even only a few steps away.


    "Good evening, and welcome to the annual Oscars. This is the biggest festival in the film industry."


    It was Hugh Jackman who came up from the backstage. Although he was not a comedian, he was also very versatile, and his ridicule was rarely close to Xia San Lu. The singing and dancing with Anne Hathaway was also a highlight.


    Hugh Jackman, who has appeared in operas many times, has a good voice.


    "I am a wrestler, I am Harvey Milk, I have participated in "Millionaire", I have read "Weakness."


    He stood on the wrestling stage, raised his hands up, and finally sang, "I am Wolverine!" (to be continued...)

 Chapter 812： The dead will have privileges

    For Hugh Jackman, who has hosted three Tony awards ceremonies, hosting the Oscars is not a big challenge. The college chose him as the host instead of the comedy star or talk show host in the past. It is naturally a fancy. The powerful appeal of Wolverine itself.


    Today, even the most stubborn and conservative members of the academy have to admit that the Oscar ratings have reached the point where they have to be rescued.


    Think about the situation when "Titanic" swept the Oscars. The average audience of 59.75 million set an Oscar record; when Ryan won the Oscar for best actor with "Gladiator", he had a history of 78.97 million. The peak audience ratings; when the eleven nominations of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" won eleven gold medals, the average ratings were the highest since the new century.


    These all reflect from the side that the solution to the ratings problem is actually very simple and straightforward, but it is very difficult for conservative colleges to make this choice.


    Therefore, Oscar can only start from other aspects, such as unexpected and so on.


    Different from previous announcements in batches, this year¡¯s Oscars firmly "tighten" the list of award-giving guests, and will not disclose a name until the last minute. This is mainly reflected in several heavyweight awards, especially the award ceremony. Significant changes have occurred.


    This change is evident in the first best supporting actress awarded.


    The award-giving guests are no longer the traditional winners of the previous best supporting actor, but Angelica Houston, Ubi Gordon Fort and Scarlett Johansson and other five female celebrities who have won the best supporting actress awards in the past. When they walked out from the bottom of the big screen displaying their heads, the organizing committee did a good job of keeping secrets in advance, and it did bring some surprises.


    Of course, this is the surprise. The rest is to talk about crosswords, introduce the nomination list, and award the best supporting actress. The winners announce their feelings about the award...


    The star Penelope Cruz from Spain won the best supporting actress with "Midnight Barcelona".


    "It''s not Amy Adams."


    Seeing the other person walking towards the backstage, Nicole whispered, "Is this an unpopularity?"


    "It seems that this award is going to take the international route." Ryan squeezed his chin, "This is a good thing."


    Just like that fake list, Amy Adams is the hottest best supporting actress predicted by the media. Now that he has chosen an overseas actress, the college seems to want to change the over-American situation of the past two Oscars and change to an international route. .


    Like Ryan said, this is a good thing, after all, Nicole is not an American actor.


    Nicole also understands this. Her eyes swept across Ryan''s face, and suddenly she thought of herself from the guest lineup just now, and said in a low voice, "Couldn''t Natalie Portman be one of the best actress award guests?"


    Although Nicole still had a smile on her face, it was completely superficial.


    "Nate was on a location in Israel." Ryan shook his head, not shy away, "I didn''t come back."


    Nicole''s eyes flickered when she heard this name that was once very close, but then was so disgusting. One hand fell on Ryan''s leg, as if he wanted to grab a hand viciously, so as to vent the resentment that still couldn''t dissipate in my heart.


    The two were very familiar, even if only the light from the corner of the eye swept across Nicole''s face. Ryan could roughly guess part of her thoughts, quietly protruding one hand, holding the hand next to his leg, and wrapping it tightly.


    next moment. The corners of his mouth trembled unconsciously, even if only by feeling, he knew it. Those long nails must have fallen into his palms.


    "The winner of the best adapted screenplay is..."


    Steve Martin and Tina Fey on the stage have already awarded the best original screenplay, and the winner behind is, "Simon Beaufort, "Slumdog Millionaire", adapted from Vikas? Svalup¡¯s novel "q&a"."


    This British film that takes place in India is one of the big winners on the nomination list. Facts also prove that Brad Pitt''s "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is the supporting role and background of this film.


    "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" only won two technical awards for Best Makeup and Best Artistic Director. The other co-nominated lists were almost completely defeated.


    "Weakness" has only two nominations for Best Actress and Best Picture. At other times, Ryan and Nicole are acting as spectators.


    Of course, there are other films under Walt Disney''s that entered the scope of the awards, such as the best animated feature film.


    "Jack, I heard that you started your own animated feature film career?"


    On the stage, Jennifer Aniston and Jack Black were playing tricks. Jack Black took over Aniston¡¯s words and said, ¡°Yes, I have participated in the dubbing of the DreamWorks animated feature film in recent years, and then download Betting that Pixar will win the best animated feature film award."


    A burst of laughter broke out under the stage, and the camera gave Jerefo Katzenberg a close-up in a timely manner.


    "I''m very sorry, Mr. Katzenberg," Aniston said, holding Jack Black. "We don''t know where he came from."


    "I don''t think Mr. Katzenberg will mind." Jack Black teased timely, "They all belong to Disney now."


    "How powerful are Disney''s cartoons," he continued, "you can see from this list of nominations."


    "Then let''s take a look." Jennifer Aniston turned to the big screen, which was a wonderful editing of past animated feature films.


    Passing through the sky surrounded by trash, the camera zoomed in to the ground. Wali cut through a pile of trash and found two curious objects-a video tape and an Oscar figurine!


    He picked up the little golden man in his left hand and the video tape in his right hand. Wali hesitated a little, chose the video tape, and threw the little golden man away as trash.


    Back home, Walli played a videotape, which showed a green-skinned monster and a donkey, and then a dog jumped out. This quick and sharp editing is to introduce the three animated feature films that were nominated this year- "Robot Walli", "Lightning Dog" and "Shrek 3".


    The former comes from Pixar Studios, while the latter two are produced by DreamWorks Animation Studios.


    After the animation was edited, a close-up of Ryan appeared in the middle of the big screen. Without anyone introducing or mentioning something, the Kodak Theater burst into applause, and then someone stood up, even if some of them were reluctant, but stood up There are more and more people, and they can only stand up with them.


    The audience stood up and paid tribute to the key figures who rebuilt Disney''s glory with the warmest applause!


    Ryan also stood up and applauded softly. It is no exaggeration to say that he has snatched the limelight from the winner of the best animated feature film.


    Of course, for the Pixar studio, who won the prize and got numb, it doesn''t care much about this kind of thing.


    The winner is "Robot Walli". Although the market response is relatively cold, this kind of subject matter with high coldness and reflection is the Oscar''s favorite.


    Pixar Studios has won too many awards. In the best animated feature film, to describe it from the East, it is ¡®when Pixar comes out, who will fight for it¡¯!


    Andrew Stanton, who came to the stage to receive the award, looked very calm like Brad Bird last year. After finishing his routine thanks, he hurriedly walked into the backstage.


    Subsequently, "Slumdog Millionaire" began to highlight the dominance of this year''s Oscars. They won the best sound, best photography, best editing, best dubbing, best sound editing and best Many awards such as original songs can be called the biggest winner.


    After Hugh Jackman and Beyonc¨¦ singing and dancing, the best supporting actor ushered in the award moment, just like the best supporting actress, Jon Gray and Alan Akin and other five best supporting actor in the past walk On the stage, there is no suspense in the result. Although the movie and the role are different, as before, with the advantage of having died, Heath Ledger won the crown of best supporting actor without any suspense.


    This is the Oscar. There are so many ways to get an award, which is also a very different kind.


    If he didn¡¯t meet God in his previous life, Heath Ledger might not get the best supporting actor 90% of the time. The reason is very, very simple. He appeared in not only large-scale commercial films, but also comic superhero movies... ¡­


    Most of the Oscar judges have deep-rooted discrimination against this type of film or role, but they can care about the living, but like all the public, they are extremely tolerant of the dead.


    Looking at the parents who accepted the award in place of Heath Ledger, Ryan stood up and applauded like everyone else, and like most people around him, there was no thought in his heart.


    This is Hollywood, even without James Cameron, it can still operate as usual.


    Just like the best supporting actress, this is only part of the awards ceremony, and the four most important awards are still placed at the end.


    Unlike in the past, where male guests always presented the best director award, Reese Witherspoon stood on the stage.


    "In front of , all the components of film art have appeared. There is only one professional exception, that is, the director. The director is the chief executive of a crew. He is in power and he is also a parent, brother and negotiation expert. When actors stay in the nanny car and refuse to come out, the director is also responsible for bringing them out."


    The former Oscar queen looked at a place below the stage, "Of course such a person is not me, that is Ben Stiller."


    "The best director nominated for this year''s Oscars..."


    In line with the big screen, she introduced the five best director nominees one by one, and then opened the envelope. The result was as everyone expected, "Danny Bowie... "Slumdog Millionaire"!"


    So far, in the heavyweight awards that have been awarded, the best supporting actress has been given to the Spanish, the best supporting actor has been given to the Australians, and the best director has been given to the British. The trend of internationalization is very obvious.


    What about the best actress? (To be continued...)

 Chapter 813： Legends are used to miss

    "Sophia Rowland, "Two Women"; Holly Hunter, "Piano Lesson"; Judy Foster, "Robbery Pear Flower" and "The Silent Lamb"; Gwyneth Paltrow, "Shakespeare in Love"; Hilary Swank, "Boys Don''t Cry" and "Million Dollar Baby."


    As the introduction sounded, five Oscar queens appeared on the stage, and they will award the best actress tonight.


    Life¡¯s chances are so wonderful. Ryan once watched this Oscars ceremony. At that time, Nicole Kidman was one of the award-giving guests standing on the stage. Now he can only sit next to him, waiting for the final result. , Because she can''t give herself awards by herself.


    Over the past ten years, Nicole doesn¡¯t know how many big scenes Ryan has gone through, the once extremely exciting Oscar moments, and now there is basically no feeling of over-tension and excitement. Although she is the biggest favorite, she has done a good job. Cold mental preparation, after all, only God knows whether there will be accidents.


    On the stage, she was talking about crosswords and introducing the nomination list. The peripheral light of her eyes quickly swept from the surrounding area, and the expressions of all competitors were in full view, and then she turned her attention to the big screen.


    Anne Hathaway, a very naive little actor, poses no threat at all.


    Melissa Leo and Anne Hathaway¡¯s odds of winning are a bit higher than hers.


    Angelina? Jolie, maybe she has the possibility of winning, but she knows very well that the other party doesn''t invite the college very much.


    Meryl Streep, this is the biggest opponent, and also the biggest upset possibility. Although the opponent does not have public relations, the same conservative style and old age definitely have a natural advantage.


    Of course, Nicole, like Ryan, didn''t think the other party might be upset. Twenty percent or only ten percent?


    With her hands crossed on her legs, Nicole naturally showed her most elegant and beautiful side, waiting for the final result.


    Ryan looked indifferent, all the work was done, and even took the absolute advantage. If this situation is still upset, it means that Oscar is no longer Oscar.


    "Nicole Kidman, every time you play a new role, you push the impossible farther."


    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a coincidence. The person who introduced Nicole is her best friend Judy Foster. "Your superb performance in "The Weakness" combines the temperament that has always fascinated us in your body. Your characters show a wide-ranging love. As your audience, we have always felt warm and inspired by this love. ."


    "Annie Tao Xi in "Weaknesses" is shaped by our most talented and infectious actors!"


    "thanks, thanks!"


    Even though the camera can only record the footage, Nicole still lip-synched to say "thank you", as if she was really excited at this moment.


    Ryan slapped his palms vigorously beside him. Oscar is also a show, this is the most advanced show in the film industry.


    When the others finished speaking, Judy Foster opened the envelope and took out the card. "The Oscar winner is..."


    Slightly twisting his body, Ryan was ready to stand up.


    "Nicole Kidman, "Weaknesses"!"


    Just after Judy Foster said his name, Ryan stood up first. Then he felt that he was hugged by Nicole, but he still clapped his palms, and then hugged Nicole back.


    "Thank you!" Nicole whispered in his ear. "Thank you for all this for me."


    The two did not continue to communicate, separated quickly, and they did not need to show affection on such occasions.


    "thanks, thanks!"


    In the congratulations of the people around, Nicole stepped onto the stage, had a face-up ceremony with five award-presenting guests, and then took over the Golden Man who represented the best actress.


    Among those standing here, including those sitting under the stage, she is the only one who has won the Oscar queen three times!


    "For me, this is a magical moment, an incredible process."


    Standing at the forefront of the stage, Nicole seemed very excited, "These ten years have been the best moment in my life. I never thought I could stand on this stage for the third time. If I said I had never If you have prepared a testimonial, it must be a lie."


    I won the best actress Oscar three times in ten years. This is a record that is hard to surpass. All the people on the stage have already stood up, and at this time they gave a warm applause.


    "Along the way, I feel very lucky. I want to thank the people who have been with me, everyone on the crew, and my friends and family. They have always trusted and supported me, especially my family members Anne and Rui. Well, I love you!"


    "And..." She pointed to the audience, "All the nominees are extremely outstanding actors. I still can''t believe it. Everyone compares me with Meryl."


    In a kind of laughter, Nicole said again, "I''m sorry, Meryl, you can find a way to adapt."


    Meryl Streep was nominated, and Meryl Streep lost. The winner was proud to be nominated at the same time as her, and made a few good jokes. These are all conventional programs in the past.


    Meryl Streep, who was sitting with Amy Adams, showed a kind smile as before. She experienced too much at this moment.


    There was another round of warm applause, and Nicole walked into the background with other guests.


    After entering the backstage and taking a group photo routinely, Ni accepted an interview with the live TV station.


    "Miss Kidman, this is your third best actress, the Little Golden Man. You have been side by side with the legend. Have you thought about this moment before?"


    "I thought about leaving my own legend, but I didn''t expect this moment to come so soon."


    Even though this is her own media, Nicole still replied perfectly, "I am very touched. I feel that I am a lucky person. The streets of the City of Angels are crowded with angels. I am just the one with the best luck."


    "Will this affect your career?" the reporter asked again.


    "I will be more involved in some productions and bring better films to the audience."


    Earlier, Nicole discussed the future with Ryan. If she wins the prize, gradually fading out of the actor industry is a must. She has become a legend now, which also means that she has reached the peak of her acting career. In the process, the audience has paid enough expectations, and these expectations have been basically consumed with her third award.


    The audience''s interest in her future role will definitely be greatly reduced, and the academy will not award this award to her for the fourth time. Turning behind the scenes is definitely the most appropriate choice.


    In other words, legends are used to miss.


    After being interviewed and greeted by those who came to congratulate him, Nicole calmly left the backstage and re-entered the theater hall.


    "Did I miss something?" she asked Ryan after sitting down.


    "Congratulations, dear."


    After receiving the little golden man from Nicole, Ryan handed it to Antonia Kidman at the back. Regardless of Hugh Jackman who was playing on the stage, he whispered, "I missed the best actor, West En Pen won the second Oscar for Best Actor in his life."


    This bad boy at the beginning has also become a life winner at the Oscars since he completely returned to the mainstream.


    The happiest scene of the night also happened to him. Michael Douglas ridiculed that he would modestly advise the White House and be gentle with the paparazzi!


    There are some widespread ridicules in Hollywood. If you encounter a paparazzi and the paparazzi immediately becomes a tame puppy, then this person must be Ryan Jenkins; if the paparazzi is harassed, it must be Johnny Dee who picks up a stool and hits someone. Pu: If you drew your gun directly, it would be Sean Penn.


    The difference in the relationship between this person and the media is almost impossible to find the second one among the first-line Hollywood movie stars.


    The award ceremony has come to the end. Although "Weakness" has a heavyweight best film nomination, Ryan does not have the luxury of winning. This film is based on the content and the international form of this award ceremony. Look, there is no possibility of winning.


    Before the award of the best picture, another historic breakthrough occurred at the Oscars, allowing interstitial video ads.


    In order to prevent viewers from thinking that film companies that purchase advertisements will benefit from the Oscar selection, and thus maintain the fair image of the Oscars, since the television broadcast of the awards ceremony in the early 1950s, movie advertisements have been banned.


    This year, for the first time, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences allowed interspersed movie advertisements at the Oscars.


    Although the official explanation is ¡®add more entertainment content about movies to the movie festival¡¯, in fact everyone understands that this is to find more revenue-generating channels.


    Disney''s such as "Flying House", "Detective Sherlock Holmes" and Cameron''s "Avatar" all played some clips at this time This is just a small episode, and the academy can''t let the advertisement take the lead. , Thereby reducing the quality and style of the Oscar, after a few minutes of editing, Spielberg stood on the stage.


    "The following film was nominated for Best Picture, "Slumdog Millionaire"...Christian Coleson, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"...Catherine Kennedy, Frank Marshall, "Foster and Nixon" ... Ron Howard, Brian Glazer, "Weaknesses"... Nicole Kidman, Melanie Sloan, "Milk"... Bruce Cohen and Dan Jinks."


    "The best film of this year''s Oscar is "Slumdog Millionaire"...Christian Coleson!"


    Just after Spielberg announced the answer, a bunch of British people and more Asan took to the stage with a hula, "Slumdog Millionaire", apart from those small awards, also won the best director one after another. The two heavyweight awards and Best Picture are definitely the biggest winners tonight. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 814： Monopoly rumors

    "The perfect choice-Nicole Kidman crowned the Oscar queen for the third time."


    After reading the title, Ryan looked at the mother and daughter sitting next to him, "Do you still want to listen?"


    Nicole shrugged, and her slender fingers gently stabbed Sandy on the back. She looked at the little golden man''s daughter curiously and nodded, "Dad... please... continue."


    "Do you understand what I''m talking about?" Ryan pointed to the little golden man again, "Do you know what this is?"


    "I don''t... know." Sandy immediately shook his head.


    After scraping the little guy''s face, Ryan picked up today''s newspaper again. The eye-catching position on it was almost occupied by the news of the Oscars ceremony last night. This is a hype opportunity that the media will never let go of every year.


    "The acting superstar Nicole Kidman got his wish to win the Oscar for Best Actress. This is a perfect result that satisfies most people. The Oscar judges made a correct but not difficult choice."


    Seeing Nicole''s bent eyes, Ryan couldn''t help laughing. Although Nicole had been very restrained at the award ceremony, she was extremely excited when she returned home last night. After all, she became a true legend.


    Dispelling the crazy memories of last night, Ryan continued to read, "Meryl Streep, who was invincible in acting, raised her Oscar nomination record to fifteen, and achieved a great record, but nearly In more than ten years, Nicole Kidman, who shines like a star, was placed on the throne of the queen for the third time, so that everyone got his place. The academy not only set records, but also created a legend."


    "Legend?" Sandy blinked curiously blue eyes, obviously not understanding the specific meaning of this word, "Mummy, can you eat...Legend?"


    "This is an honor." Ryan put the newspaper on the coffee table and hugged his daughter. "Just like Sunny is the smartest child, the legend is the compliment of others to Mommy."


    "Oh¡­¡­"


    I don''t know if the little guy understood, she just nodded mechanically. Then he threw the golden Oscar trophy on the couch, struggling to jump off Ryan. He grabbed his hand and shook it, "Mummy, Dad, the garden...I want to go."


    "Yes." Ryan bent down and pointed a finger at the little guy. "But you have to walk over by yourself."


    "Ah..." The little guy bit his finger and thought for a few seconds, "Okay."


    Out of the back door of the villa. Sandy walked in the front, Ryan and Nicole held hands, walked behind unhurriedly, and entered the remodeled garden.


    As Sandy gets older, many new children¡¯s entertainment facilities such as small swings and seesaws have been added here. Being born in this kind of family means that Sandy¡¯s childhood cannot be spent like most children. However, both Ryan and Nicole knew this very well.


    Not long after he walked out, the little guy had forgotten what he had just said. She started to shame, after all, she was not yet three years old, and it was impossible for her to walk too long. Ryan picked her up and walked into the outdoor casino, put her on a thick air cushion, and let her bounce and roll on it.


    There was the sound of footsteps from the villa. Taylor, in a casual suit, was walking towards this side with his amazingly long legs. Before she came closer, Sandy stood holding Ryan¡¯s clothes and swaying. Up.


    "Sister, sister." She shouted to the other side, "Taylor. Taylor."


    "Hi, Sunny." Tyler walked over quickly. "do you miss me?"


    "Hmm!" The little guy nodded seriously.


    "You are getting cuter and cuter."


    After that, Taylor is like a child who has not grown up. Jumping on the air cushion, jumping and jumping with Sandy, the two people quarreled for a few minutes before they stopped.


    "Don''t you need to work today?" Ryan asked.


    "I just came from Disney Animation Studios." Tyler hugged Sandy and sat cross-legged on the air cushion. "Elsa didn''t just sing one song. I used to discuss the music style with the crew, and I need to prepare two more episodes."


    Ryan nodded. The project of "Ice Adventure" went smoothly. Since the images of Anna and Elsa were determined, Disney Animation Studios quickly entered the substantive production stage, although it is still far from being completed. It has been a very long time, but for the relatively slow Pixar studio, the progress has been quite satisfactory.


    According to the plan, Pixar Studios will release an animated feature film at the rate of one per year in recent years. This year it will be "Flying House Tour", next year it will be "Toy Story 3", and another year it will be "Cars 2".


    Especially the last one, it is almost destined to be a money-giving machine.


    Since the launch of "Cars 2", even if it does not count the film''s global box office, it is just peripherals and derivatives. This series has so far brought Walt Disney more than 2 billion US dollars in revenue, and it is definitely a boy''s pocket money killer.


    Back in the villa, Ryan put the little golden figure Sandy casually thrown on the sofa into the glass showcase, which is full of awards such as the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. Among them, the heaviest is naturally three. The best actress, the little golden man.


    This is definitely a great achievement.


    Only Ryan himself knows that he has not made a mistake. This is a promise that has been persisted for twenty years.


    He finally pushed Nicole to a position far higher than before, and completely became a Hollywood legend. When the public recalled the period between the 1990s and the beginning of the 21st century in the past few decades, the first The actress who thinks of it must be Nicole. Not only does she have awards, she also has a box office that other actresses cannot match.


    Even Julia Roberts, the representative of another actress in the same period, was left far behind by Nicole.


    "I will focus more on production in the future."


    Nicole''s words came from the sofa, "Unless there is a very favorite character, otherwise..."


    "If I can take eight phonographs at a time." Taylor is very smart and understands the relevance of this situation in all aspects. "I will also withdraw from the pop music world and turn to the business world."


    "Sanny." She pressed Sandy''s forehead with her forehead. "At that time, we will join hands to fight the bad guys who bully people."


    "Yes!" Sandy said naively, "badass... we''ll knock it down together, sister."


    With the closing of the Oscars ceremony, Hollywood¡¯s 2008 has only come to a complete end. The movies that were on the box office charts did not accidentally pass by Oscars.


    The 2008 North American and global box office champions belonged to "Transformers 2." This special effects blockbuster that was thrown on the ground by film critics, wishing to step into the hell, received US$431.87 million and US$1.110.15 million in North America respectively. Corresponding to the global box office, there are peripheral products whose sales are infinitely close to these two numbers.


    The second place still belongs to Disney. "Iron Man 2", with US$832.5 million, beat the "Indiana Jones 4" co-produced by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, and won the North American and global box office. The position of the second runner-up in the list.


    Although "Indiana Jones 4" is like "Transformers 2", the professional reputation cannot be worse, but with 317.1 million US dollars, it easily ranked third in the North American box office list.


    Although the financial crisis has had a considerable impact on the film industry, last year''s North American box office still showed a momentum of growth, and the total box office exceeded the $10 billion mark for the first time in history, except for the contribution of a series of commercial blockbusters. Besides, I have to talk about the two dark horses of "Weakness" and "Twilight".


    Half a month after the Oscars, the former was offloaded from North America. The final North American box office stood at 301.25 million US dollars. It was definitely the biggest dark horse in the North American film market last year. Unfortunately, this film was not strong overseas. China¡¯s overseas box office is less than US$100 million, and it is still unknown whether the global box office will eventually exceed US$400 million.


    The latter''s performance is equally impressive. The North American box office of 197.52 million US dollars, plus the overseas box office of 198.84 million US dollars, is enough to make Disney laugh.


    The continuous strong performance of the films produced by Walt Disney will not only arouse the envy of others, but also arouse the envy and dissatisfaction of some people. In recent years, there are not no people who have secretly tricked them, but in the face of Disney''s strong strength Play too much.


    This time is no exception. After the Oscars, some media began to say that they were unable to target Disney¡¯s normal film production and distribution, and there was nothing to provoke, but instead aimed at emerging companies. The online media market, especially video sites.


    It is definitely the leading online video website in the world, and even occupies more than 70% of the North American market share. Among the rest, the hulu website jointly established by Disney and Twentieth Century Fox has to be divided by half, and Disney dominates online video. To describe the situation of the industry today, it is not too muchmonopoly. North American business groups are trying to avoid minefields. This is undoubtedly the best reason to deal with Disney''s online video business.


    Many tabloids seem to have gotten some hints, vaguely spreading the gossip that the federal government is preparing to launch an antitrust investigation into Disney''s related businesses.


    Fortunately, there is no such voice in the mainstream media. Disney also has the political power to sponsor. The exact news that Ryan received is nothing but rumors. The federal government has no plans to launch antitrust investigations on this business, at least still has not now.


    It is difficult to find out where this kind of rumors originated. Ryan is also paying attention to the dynamics of those former interest communities, which have now become loose alliances and competitors.


    For the benefit, those people can stand with him and conceal him through the most fragile underage period; and enough tempting interests can make them stand on the opposite side of him.


    In the process of such a crazy rise of Disney, it will inevitably touch the interests of many people. (To be continued)

 Chapter 815： Princess Diaosi

    News Corp., Viacom, Universal, Walt Disney, and Time Warner America Online are the five most powerful media groups in North America today. The relationships between the five companies are complex, cooperation and competition, and competition remains at a certain level. On the boundary, it is easy not to launch the vicious competition of life and death.


    It¡¯s not clear to count things with each other''s little tricks, and such little things don''t deserve too much attention.


    Although he won''t try his best to track down, Ryan also speculates in private that people who can spread this kind of news now and have the courage to give Disney a black hand, even if they are not a member of the five major media groups, they must be, for example, Conscutt or France. Vivendi is a powerful large-scale media company.


    Viacom hasn''t been relieved from the stock price plummet so far, how to get rid of the crisis is what they should consider.


    Time Warner is splitting up with AOL, and I don¡¯t think it has too much energy to focus on elsewhere.


    Behind Universal is General Electric, but it is recognized as the weakest among the five major media groups.


    There is also News Corporation. If Ryan initially looked at Murdoch¡¯s media with a colored eye, he discovered in the later cooperation how sophisticated the other party¡¯s management methods are. This is also the cooperation with Walt Disney among the five major media groups. The most pleasant company, there is no particularly big contradiction between the two parties, even in the hulu website and other aspects, there are many common interests.


    After confessing that the people below pay more attention to this matter, Ryan temporarily put it aside, and it is impossible for Disney to stop its development due to the rumors of the antitrust investigation.


    Due to the big sales last year, the second "Twilight Saga: New Moon" of "Twilight Saga" has already been filmed, and it is expected to be released at the end of this year.


    In addition, a series of Disney-produced and released films such as "2012", "The Hangover", "Thor", and "Detective Sherlock Holmes" will be released in various schedules this year.


    Among them, the most eye-catching is the Christmas file "Avatar", Disney early on played the banner of a total investment of 550 million US dollars and the first giant system in history.


    of course. Disney will not take the initiative to say that this includes the cost of future advertising costs.


    "Avengers" has also ended shooting and officially moved to the post-production stage. The initial schedule is set after "Alice in Wonderland". After all, the latter needs the 3d and iamx super craze that can be expected after "Avatar", otherwise It is very likely that it will not reach the results of the previous life.


    And "Avengers" does not have so many worries. After a long period of continuous foreshadowing of several superhero movies, as long as Jos Weiden does not make the film into something like "Firefly", it will inevitably be a big seller.


    The Marvel comic hero movie plan is still in progress in an orderly manner. The script and casting of the new "X-Men" series have been completed. Can start work at any time.


    Then there is Disney''s great fairy tale series. The performance of "Magic Romance" starring Amy Adams is not bad, and more anti-traditional fairy tale movies have also been put on the agenda by Disney Pictures.


    At present, many classic fairy tales such as "Snow White", "Sleeping Beauty", "Beauty and the Beast", "Cinderella", and "The Prince of the Forest" are on the agenda. These will be introduced to the big screen by Disney Pictures in the next few years. , The new alternative "Snow White and the Hunter" crew is being formed, and the dark version of the princess is about to be born.


    "Dear¡­¡­"


    Looking at Charlize, who was holding the script, Ryan''s chin was about to fall, "You mean Julius invited you to play the queen? Is that true?"


    "Don''t be so surprised?"


    Put down the script. Charlize looked at the sun hanging in the sky. That''s right, this is the world he knows well. Does Ryan need to be so exaggerated?


    "I haven''t appeared in a movie for more than a year. I also put my energy on ct Nature''s Treasures, but you don''t have to do this? It seems like I can''t play such a sinister and vicious villain..."


    Charlize''s dissatisfaction was overwhelming, and Ryan said quickly, "I didn''t mean that. This..."


    How do you say this? He thought for a while, and asked, "Has Julis determined the heroine?"


    "Kristin." Charlize put the script on the table and waved away more and more bees in the garden. "If there is no accident, she must be the one who played the role. The crew is waiting for her schedule."


    The corners of Ryan''s mouth trembled, and he didn''t know what to say.


    If you change to someone else, he must think that the other party must have a deep hatred with Kristen Stewart, and it must be the biggest Kristen Black, otherwise, why would he be mentally retarded to find Kristen? Stewart starred in Snow White and Charlize starred in jealous of her beauty The queen?


    Black people don''t bring such dark ones.


    But it is Julis Stewart who holds the final casting right, and that is Kristen Stewart¡¯s mother...


    Thinking of the once movie, Ryan had no temper at all. It was definitely the most unreliable youth idol movie he had ever seen.


    According to what he once said, how beautiful is the beauty of this Diaosi Snow White? In a word, Godzilla has no temper when he sees her! It''s an upgraded version of Goubuli!


    Arranging Snow White to drill a dog hole and soak in muddy water is justified. After all, it is an anti-fairy tale, but there is a rare scene of spring blossoms, close-up close-up, bad skin, was the director trying to seduce Christine? Stewart you If you don''t cheat, I just won''t give you a soft focus retouching lens!


    Especially Snow White lay down on the cutting board after being greedy and hung up. The director''s intention was just fine. It would be fatal to take a super close-up of the **** nostrils in the Yintang.


    Brother Hammer can still kiss me. It is indeed my brother who abused me thousands of times. I treat my brother like a true man of first love!


    In all fairness, even if she grew up watching her, Ryan had to admit that Kristen Stewart is really not beautiful, and there are a lot of minor problems on her body, such as walking like a man, Taylor often shouted "Tomboy" ''It''s not just yelling, it does reflect a lot of her characteristics.


    The movie in the previous life, from the producer to the director to the actor, was all weird.


    That producer is really a god, except for the three leading actors, I don''t know where to gather so many best products to make this movie.


    When she was a child, Snow White was frustrated! The queen''s brother is so frustrated! The prince with a concave pie face is also frustrated! Even the extras are a gang of dirty and messy people grinning!


    He still remembered that when watching this movie, he saw a group of elder black wood ears with twisted Nuwa heads and scratched his face because he claimed to be afraid of the queen''s jealousy! At that time, I really wanted to ask you to have a bit of blue face, okay? Do you want to be so confident! You are safe! Really!


    According to his nonsense, when Charlize was making this film, it is estimated that every day he laughed in his heart, a bunch of ugly, poor and daring to be more beautiful than the old lady! Wait for the movie to be sprayed to death!


    There is also the question of aura. Both Charlize and Christine have coronation scenes, but how can her aura be able to suppress the red carpet queen and the Oscar actress Charlize?


    Who is the protagonist? This is a problem.


    "what are you thinking."


    Dispelling those unreliable memories, Ryan asked Charlize, "Are you sure you want to play the queen?"


    "The script I just received the day before yesterday." Charlize had been staring at Ryan, and when he saw him asking questions, he said unhurriedly, "I don''t have a schedule. Last year''s financial crisis was also affected. I''m busy with the company. Work, but also take care of South Africa¡¯s World Cup promotion, there is not so much time."


    She rolled her eyes, apparently guessing some of Ryan''s thoughts, "And I don''t think it would be appropriate for me to star in this film with Christine."


    Ryan and Charlize smiled tacitly.


    If there is no relationship between each other, Charlize can assault Kristen Stewart in the film and make her a joke after the film is released, but the relationship between the two parties is different from the previous life.


    After thinking for a while, Ryan took the phone and directly dialed Julius Stewart¡¯s phone, and briefly said a few words of his own suggestion. The meaning in the words was understood in another way, that is, being a mother can¡¯t be so dark about yourself. The daughter of her, otherwise she will be careful about her future mother and daughter, and then recommend a more suitable candidate for Snow White.


    Emma Watson is much more suitable than Kristen Stewart, and find a queen with some looks but not particularly beautiful, enough to offset the many adverse reactions after the film is released, think about the past life, between Snow White and the beautiful queen The huge contrast has greatly affected the box office of the movie.


    Anyway, they are all youth idol films, and the more beautiful and appealing Emma Watson must not be too disappointing.


    Charlize''s mind is not inferior to his beauty, and then the two discussed a few more. There is nothing to say between Ryan and Charlize, and the topic revolves around this aspect.


    "Actually, Alison was right." Charlize put the script away, "Christine''s walking style and behavior are a bit masculine She has no problem playing a role like Bella, but Snow White, who is known for her beauty and femininity, and has been praised for a long time..."


    Having said that, she shook her head.


    "Especially if I starred with you..." Ryan seemed to think of the previous movie again, "It is a disaster for her and the movie."


    Subsequently, Charlize rejected the role of queen. After careful consideration, Julius Stewart replaced Christine Stewart with Emma Watson. Although this kind of large production opportunity with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is rare, she He is a senior executive of Disney and can help his daughter find a lot of opportunities in the future.


    Since Emma Watson is still filming a new episode of the Harry Potter series, "Snow White and the Hunter" has to wait for her schedule, and Julius Stewart is targeting the Queen¡¯s target candidate. Julia Roberts, whose value plummeted with the fall of love comedy.


    This can be regarded as a reasonable combination. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 816： Polanski

    "Since you are going to retire, don''t stand up and let your guns go. Please take care of your mouth and hands! Please don''t make any comments on Warner''s movies in the future. If you really want to comment, please give a low score?"


    At the end of April, an executive director of Time Warner bombarded Roger Albert, the famous film critic, and begged him to let Warner¡¯s films go and stop commenting on Warner¡¯s production or distribution. This is definitely the best. A weapon to drive the audience away. x.


    Perhaps movies and cinemas are indeed a good place to escape the crisis. In 2009, the world economy was still shrouded in crisis.


    However, not everything has become a victim of the crisis. Just as people chose to hide in the virtual world for stimulating pastimes in the face of the gloomy reality of the economic crisis in 1929, it was once again proved in 2009 that movie entertainment is the favorite choice of people in the crisis era. To some extent, it has become a refuge for people''s souls.


    Perhaps it was stimulated by the total box office in North America last year that exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars for the first time. Since the beginning of this year, the box office of movies in North America and the world has been rising all the way, and several unremarkable films have achieved good box office results. .


    In fact, as early as January, this trend has begun to emerge. North American audiences upset by the financial crisis spend more time watching movies. Major Hollywood companies have found that all types of movies can sell well. In the past, the highest January box office in the past was only 841 million U.S. dollars, while in January 2009 it was an astonishing more than 1,074 million U.S. dollars.


    Some not-so-famous low-investment films such as "The Paranormal" have all achieved success this spring, and certain high-expected films have been put off.


    Among them are the two super productions "Prophet" and "Watchmen" launched by Warner Bros.


    The box office failures of these two films are also the biggest reason why Warner''s executives bombarded Roger Albert.


    "This is the best sci-fi movie I have ever seen-thriller, suspense, wit, and very awesome when needed!"


    Roger Albert not only scored ten points for "The Prophet," he also gave two iconic thumbs up, and "Watchmen" also received the same treatment.


    "An exciting and shocking work-sound, image, and characters work together to create an absolutely bizarre, illustrated novel-like visual experience. The film has a strong inner motivation, and we can feel that the film focuses on the dilemma of saving a desperate world."


    If it were placed more than ten years ago, Roger Albert Ken gave such an evaluation, Warner''s senior management would not only not get angry, but would happily transfer an extra bonus to the other party''s account.


    But now?


    In the past five years, Roger Albert has shown movies with a score of 9 or more, and 99% of the box office has gone to death, and the movies that were worthless by him have sold superbly. Some tabloids even dubbed him the title of''crow''s mouth''.


    "The Prophet" and "The Watcher" certainly did not break away from this category. The former has been downgraded from North America, and the $115 million production cost has only been exchanged for more than $71.9 million at the box office.


    After the latter was released in March, in the past two months, the North American box office has not exceeded 100 million US dollars, which irritated the senior officials of Time Warner, who had high hopes for comics and movies.


    To be precise, the film has a bad box office and has nothing to do with Roger Albert, but in the past five years, the movies he has watched have been on the street one after another. People have to wonder if he has a kind of magic power that can curse the movies he watched and make the audience want to stay away unconsciously.


    "Roger Albert''s praise is equivalent to a box office murder."


    This view gradually formed a consensus within Hollywood. Some film companies even exaggeratedly wanted to re-public relations with him, so that the other party should never give a thumbs up to their films.


    The alternation of old and new is a natural law, and people who do not adapt to the times will eventually be eliminated.


    This month, another sensation occurred in the film industry around the world. Roman Polanski participated in a movie event in Switzerland and was arrested by the Swiss police on his way from the hotel to the red carpet. His old story of temptation and **** of underage girls once again made headlines in the media.


    The U.S. Department of Justice immediately reacted and contacted the Swiss side, wanting to extradite Roman Polanski, who has been hunting for many years, back to the U.S. If the extradition is successful, the remaining life of the great director is likely to be spent in prison. Over.


    Subsequently, the Swiss Ministry of Justice rejected Roman Polanski''s request for bail because he had a history of escape.


    According to Swiss law, the United States will have 60 days to file an extradition request and submit it to the Ministry of Justice for review. If it is passed...


    This incident not only caused strong repercussions in the Polish and French film industry, but Hollywood, which was originally a quiet place after the Oscars, was also instantly activated.


    Look at the people who have made friends with Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Harvey Weinstein, Pedro Almodovar, Ethan Cohen, Jack Nicholson, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, Robert De Niro...


    The heavyweight names can bring dusty tragedies back into focus, and can also affect serious judicial trials. Hollywood bigwigs have always considered themselves to be privileged members.


    Especially the Jewish Club in Hollywood will never allow an important member of itself to fall into the pocket of the US Department of Justice.


    Those who had a deep friendship with Roman Polanski even began to run for him.


    Or to put it another way is more appropriate, Hollywood does not allow top figures in the circle to be completely trampled underfoot, especially if the opponent is still a Jew.


    "Jack, this is not a good way. The collective voice will only arouse public disgust."


    Sitting on the sofa in his living room, Ryan looked at Jack Nicholson and David Lynch who were visiting from the opposite side, "thus pushing the incident to the side we don''t want to see."


    Out of respect, Jack Nicholson took off his iconic sunglasses when he came in. "Aren¡¯t we doing anything? I believe that if we collectively support us, the Ministry of Justice will definitely be scrupulous, and the public will also be because of us. Support, and change the position appropriately."


    "David, what do you think?" Ryan asked again.


    "We must have our own attitude."


    The other party seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Ryan''s relatively cold response.


    The two sides said a few more words, there was no consensus on this, Jack Nicholson and David Lynch had to leave.


    Ryan didn''t stay too much, because he was quite interested in the **** case, and he still had some memories. The remarks supported by the Hollywood celebrities in the past life not only did not help Roman Polanski, but made his situation more difficult. .


    If according to his true wishes, Ryan does not want to intervene in this matter, but while enjoying the privileges of a Jewish descent, he will naturally protect the interests of this class and watch each other when possible. It can be said that he is the best in the Hollywood Jewish Club. One of the basic rules.


    The joint visit of Jack Nicholson and David Lynch also fully demonstrated that he could not completely stay out of the matter.


    Waved to Charlize who came downstairs, Ryan sat here, thought for a few minutes, and roughly thought about the pros and cons of this matter.


    Let alone other things, Roman Polanski should be fine. After a series of hardships in his previous life, he finally paid 5 million euros in bail and successfully escaped.


    The result is here, how can I profit from it?


    If you make a timely move to show that you have played an important role in it, then the Hollywood Jewish Club will owe a favor, which can completely exert a huge and even key influence in the Oscar selection next year.


    As a fairly successful businessman, Ryan figured out what he should do in a short time.


    And now, he has to wait and see the changes, waiting for Hollywood celebrities to make a collective voice, to take the incident to the worse side.


    But in two days, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Harvey Weinstein and many other Hollywood celebrities have expressed their views on this matter one after another. Perhaps their words There are differences, in the end they all express their support for Roman Polanski.


    "Expressed shock and anger at the behavior of the Swiss side. It happened 31 years ago, and the victim had already forgiven Polanski, and Polanski went to Switzerland and also owned real estate there, even more so. It is hard to understand why he was arrested when he accepted an invitation to receive the prize in Zurich?"


    Many people are very angry and support Polanski. The names of these people are simply a Who''s Who in Hollywood.


    However, things did not change because of Hollywood''s support. Hollywood stars unanimously supported the troubled director, but instead attracted strong public opposition, especially women and feminist organizations.


    Many women left messages on the Internet, expressing their opinions bluntly, and more and more members of the public applauded Polanski¡¯s arrest. Their attention was focused on the case itself, and the great director just watched. Be a **** who sexually assaults children.


    Well-known women in the United States have also stepped up. The female writer Kate Harding wrote in a column¡ªRoman Polanski had a child. Let¡¯s not care about the others. Let¡¯s start from this point. It is a detail that some people deliberately want to ignore. "


    This article became popular on the Internet. In just a few hours, the number of visits exceeded 100,000, which seemed to foreshadow a response.


    Kate Harding then received many invitations from right-wing radio talk shows to denounce Roman Polanski¡¯s commentary, one after another published on the famous hidden anti-Semitic media in North America, and they all agreed this time. The late arrest was applauded.


    The incident developed dramatically, and the consequences seemed to far surpass Polanski himself. Some people who originally supported him, such as Ubi Goldberg, also began to clarify their positions. In the next few days, more and more. ''S female stars have also joined the ranks.


    Hollywood''s support for Polanski''s actions was obviously counterproductive. (To be continued...) R640

 Chapter 817： Take advantage of the situation to make a profit

    In Hollywood, almost all first-line stars, directors, and producers have their own political positions. The vast majority of Hollywood celebrities are political activists. When certain important events happen, they must express their politically correct positions in a timely manner. ?¡¡X.


    It¡¯s hard to say which way to move closer to this matter. It¡¯s absolutely unbearable for the public to seduce **** girls, and Hollywood doesn¡¯t want to see the death of a major director, because all Hollywood stars will naturally think that Roman Polanski and Like them, they must have certain privileges in this regard.


    The strange thing is that most of the mainstream media, which always tended to be Jewish in the past, kept silent. In fact, this is a very clever approach. If they still collectively speak out for Roman Polanski at this time, it will only inspire the public and even the federal government. Much disgust.


    Hollywood may have fools, but those who can climb to the top of this circle are undoubtedly smart people.


    Female celebrities expressed their support for women, non-Jewish personnel wisely closed their mouths, and a large number of Jewish people suddenly fell silent.


    The voices of the hidden anti-Semitic media became louder and louder. They even disclosed the confession of the victimized girl that year, which described Polanski asking her to drink champagne and administering hymenone before having **** with her. In the course of the behavior, she said Polanski ignored her repeated refusals and did not stop. Although she tried her best to resist, he still had **** with her several times.


    This aroused the indignation of more feminists and women¡¯s organizations. They urged the Ministry of Justice to extradite Roman Polanski as soon as possible, claiming that Polanski¡¯s long-standing crimes were as disgusting as the old **** Catholic priests in the Middle Ages. .


    The consequences of this incident are incalculable. Polanski is likely to face a protracted legal battle across two continents. However, judging from public opinion, his image is already in jeopardy. Many people now mention Polanski. The things that come to mind are all related to sexual assault on minors, rather than his film works. Even if he is finally free, Polanski will be greatly hurt.


    Violation of children and minors is absolutely an untouchable forbidden zone in North America. Sexual abuse of children has always been an unforgivable act.


    Faced with such a situation, will Hollywood Jewish clubs give up Roman Polanski? the answer is,!


    this day. Harvey Weinstein¡¯s clubhouse refuses to be idle. More than a dozen Hollywood celebrities gather from all directions in a very low-key manner. These people have brown hair, black hair, gray hair, and blond hair. If you look more closely, they In fact, there is a common identity-Jewish!


    Of course, Ryan is indispensable.


    Sitting in an open cafe near the sea, he rarely expresses his opinions. Just occupied a table with Natalie alone, listening to the others.


    "Polanski has such a glorious career as a director. As an artist, he should be praised. He should not be arrested for such a case!"


    The speaker was Sidney Gannis, the current rotating chairman of the college. No one can tell the intricate relationship between these old Hollywood old men. "Even the victim said that things have passed for a long time. I hope he will not be hunted down for this. , Why are some people always chasing him?"


    "This arrest is a very bad situation." Harrison Ford said, "I never believed that it would be a rape. Switzerland approved this arrest, which is obviously a conspiracy."


    Hearing Harrison Ford''s words, Ryan almost laughed, but this was not an occasion to laugh, he still endured it forcefully, and continued to maintain a serious look like everyone else.


    Although he had anticipated it in advance, he did not expect that the Hollywood Jewish Club would be so caring about Roman Polanski, which fully demonstrated the Jewish people''s love of grouping.


    You can also look at it from another angle. Because of many well-known reasons in history, certain things have infiltrated the soul of this ethnic group. If it sounds better, it is called precautionary awareness, and if it sounds bad, it is persecution delusion.


    This is not a bad thing. After hundreds of years of hard work, although the Jews have established a huge power in North America, the anti-Semitism is equally strong, and any ethnic group will guarantee its own advantage in this world. status.


    Just like Hollywood, the Jewish Club has been ensuring its influence in this circle.


    "Hollywood''s elite culture protects its own people!"


    This is actually a consensus reached by North American society a long time ago, and it also shows a specific model of Hollywood culture-it seems to insist that, from some perspectives, the status of big-name stars can be higher than the law and should be adopted. Treat them differently from the public.


    Of course, so-called big-name celebrities are also different. Think about Mel Gibson who made ¡®anti-Semitic remarks¡¯ and Roman Polanski. It¡¯s not difficult to see the difference.


    It is certainly interesting to observe the reaction caused by the Polanski incident; it is more interesting to compare it with Hollywood''s response to the Mel Gibson "drunken anti-Semitic" incident.


    Mel Gibson was sent to jail by Ryan. Those who helped either overtly or secretly were indispensable. Polanski''s behavior was legally more serious, but it aroused widespread sympathy in Hollywood.


    As a member of the Hollywood Jewish Club, of course you have to have some privileges.


    "We should unite more forces to put pressure on the federal government."


    Hearing this, Ryan couldn''t help frowning. After the other party''s voice fell, he knocked off the table and said slowly, "We must reduce the remarks that irritate the public."


    Although he was the youngest man present, no one could ignore Ryan''s remarks. Sidney Gannis, Spielberg and others immediately looked over. In their opinion, would Ryan be willing to support Roman? Polanski was enough to cause the incident to go in two completely different directions.


    "If we continue to collectively speak out and publicly support Roman, it will only make the public understand that the image of Hollywood is completely different from what they imagined."


    After a short pause, Ryan changed to more direct words, "Think deeper, and even more serious consequences will be produced. At that time, it may not only be the anti-Semitism and right-wing elements attacking us, Democrats, feminists, Conservatives will also join this team, and all factions in the United States will gather and stand on the opposite side of us."


    The audience was silent. Although Ryan''s statement was a bit exaggerated, it was not impossible.


    From the day Hollywood collectively spoke out in support, this was no longer an individual incident of Roman Polanski.


    In mainstream American culture, Polanski is no longer popular; the middle class in the United States insists on pushing Polanski to California courts; from east to west, most civil organizations in the United States insist that the arrests have been made. After too long a delay, Polanski should be taken back to the United States to accept trial and even severe punishment by law.


    "Leave this to me." Ryan rubbed his forehead and put on an expression that looked like a sea of ??swordsmanship, "I have some connections in Europe, and I can talk to the Swiss government. Only suitable for low-key solutions."


    "We understand." Everyone said one after another.


    Some people''s faces are no longer so dignified. They know exactly what kind of person Ryan is. They will basically fulfill what they promised. Now that he has opened his mouth, there must be some way.


    If even everyone in the powerful Walt Disney Group can''t solve it, then they can also choose to abandon Roman Polanski.


    "Ryan, if there is anything I need to help..."


    When leaving, Harrison Ford took the initiative to find him, "Just call me."


    "Definitely." Ryan nodded, and Xin said that he would definitely call you soon.


    Out of the clubhouse, Harvey Weinstein kept sending him to the parking lot. Before Ryan got into the car, he said, "If it''s too difficult, don''t force it."


    "Always try it."


    Giving him a relieved look, Ryan pulled the car door, waited for Natalie to take the seat of the co-pilot, then walked around to the other side, got in the car, and left Malibu I''ll come over? "


    After adjusting her seat belt, Natalie looked at Ryan, "I can''t say anything."


    "Just let them understand." Ryan didn''t say clearly, "You are one of them."


    Natalie blinked, she still didn''t seem to understand what Ryan was doing. She was an authentic Jew, and this was something everyone knew.


    But after all, she was an extremely smart person. Thinking back to Ryan''s words and deeds, she gradually thought about it more clearly.


    "Are you really going to help Roman Polanski?"


    From her tone, Ryan could hear disapproval, which was nothing strange, and few women would sympathize with Polanski.


    "Definitely help." Ryan nodded solemnly.


    As he said in the past, ethnicity has given him the advantage of foothold and development in Hollywood, and even has certain privileges early on, but correspondingly, he has to bear the responsibilities brought by ethnicity and serve this group. Solve part of the trouble.


    Perhaps in the eyes of Natalie and others, this is a very difficult thing, but only Ryan knows that even if he does not make a move, there is a 90% chance that Roman Polanski will leave Switzerland unharmed. .


    That being the case, why not take advantage of it to get benefits? Even for Natalie who was sitting next to him, he would not let go of such an opportunity.


    What he can do in it doesn¡¯t really matter. What¡¯s important is that when Roman Polanski was free, they thought he played an important role, and that was enough.


    Of course, since Ryan said this matter was handed over to him, he would definitely take action, and that would make people appreciate it.


    He was even ready to negotiate privately with the Swiss government, and the people sent by George had arrived in Britain. (To be continued...) R640

 Chapter 818： save

    Every major company invests in politics. This is a very common phenomenon in North America, and Walt Disney is no exception. For example, in the presidential election last year, Disney''s media clearly favored the black charcoal.


    Aohetan did not disappoint Disney either. After taking the stage, the first few tasks were the Sino-U.S. bilateral negotiations on films and many other cultural products. After a long period of time, the two sides finally concluded a new supplementary agreement. The number of imported films from China has further increased-ordinary sub-ledger films have increased from 20 to 25, and special sub-ledger films have increased from 14 to 18.


    It''s not just Disney, but Hollywood as a whole.


    In addition, Aohetan also put pressure on many Arab countries to further liberalize the animation film market.


    In addition to the pressure on the surface, Tony Blair has also been to private parties in the Arab world and said that the effect is generally good.


    This Walt Disney special consultant is also a suitable person to communicate privately with the Swiss government.


    After George''s people visited London, the British paparazzi, who likes to chase celebrities, discovered that former Prime Minister Tony Blair took his family to the Swiss capital Bern for a vacation.


    As for how much Tony Blair can play in it, only God knows.


    The matter cannot be resolved smoothly in a short period of time. Although Tony Blair met a few''old friends'' in the Swiss political circle, there was no good news. And after May, the summer vacation in North America The curtain opened again.


    After George Lucas''s "Star Wars Prequel Trilogy" ended, few films dared to challenge Disney''s major commercials on the first weekend of the summer.


    Another superhero of Marvel Comics has appeared on the big screen, Thor and Loki have embarked on a long journey of falling in love and killing each other.


    This can be said to be the worst superhero movie since "Captain America", regardless of content or box office.


    The film''s first week box office was only more than 65 million US dollars, which is indeed a bit embarrassing for the surprise movies that used to have an easy box office of over 100 million in the first week in North America.


    Many viewers admitted frankly, except for Thor and Rocky''s rivals. There is not much to watch, and Jane Foster, who plays Anne Hathaway, is also bad enough.


    Even more people said that the reason why they entered the theater was to watch the last easter egg of the film. The content of the easter egg is a preview of "Avengers"!


    In any case, Chris Hemsworth''s Thor image is still recognized by most people, perhaps because he has worked as a construction worker in Australia and has a wealth of experience in using hammers. His powerful actions also fascinated many female audiences.


    The commercial performance of the film can only be regarded as mediocre. It took ten days for the North American box office to exceed 120 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was only 240 million U.S. dollars. Based on the current development trend, the film''s final box office It is likely to stay within 500 million US dollars.


    Although the box office performance is not very good, "Thor" is also considered to be a very good completion of its mission, spliced ??on the last piece of the "Avengers" territory, and played a perfect warm-up role.


    It''s the end of May. Pixar Studio¡¯s masterpiece "Flying House Tour" made its grand debut. This cartoon finally got rid of the tepid box office situation of "Ratuitou" and "Robot Walli" in North America. In just 20 days, the film The box office in North America surpassed the final $220 million of "Robot Walli". Go straight to the 300 million dollar mark.


    Time slowly entered July, Ryan waited for the good news he wanted, and the Swiss side finally made a ruling on the Roman Polanski incident.


    Although the Swiss government has not announced it to the public, he has already got the exact information from Tony Blair. He also notified Harrison Ford and many Polanski¡¯s friends, as well as the members of the Jewish club who attended the party last time.


    It was not until July 12 that the Swiss Ministry of Justice held a press conference.


    Swiss Minister of Justice and Police Evelyn Widmer Schrempf announced at a press conference. Rejecting the extradition of Polanski by the United States immediately lifted his detention.


    ¡°Because the U.S. Department of Justice did not submit a confidential record of a hearing regarding the Polanski case to Switzerland, the Swiss side determined that the conditions for extradition were insufficient and decided not to grant extradition.


    "Under this circumstance, we cannot rule out the possibility that Roman Polanski has already served his sentence. Therefore, a serious technical error decides that extradition is no longer possible. Extradition lacks basic conditions. Considering the factual part of the case, the doubt continues. Existing, we decided to reject the extradition application."


    This is what Widmer Schrempf said at the press conference, "From 11:30 today, Polanski is a free man. He can go to France, or Poland, or whatever will not arrest him. local."


    After handing in bail of up to 5 million euros, Roman Polanski regained his freedom and returned to France.


    Ryan has also fulfilled his promise to the Hollywood Jewish circle. As for the role of the former British Prime Minister¡¯s private lobbying, even Tony Blair himself has no idea.


    But in any case, Ryan saw the result he wanted.


    A few days later, Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson, and Sidney Gannis came together to visit, and brought a letter from Roman Polanski, because "The Pianist" had trouble with Ryan. The unhappy director used the phrase "deep thanks" many times in his letter.


    "The nightmare is finally over, and I am most grateful for your help from the bottom of my heart."


    There are a lot of words of gratitude in the letter, and Roman Polanski, who is already mature, is also a wise man.


    Later, in the mainstream media in North America, some comments that were slightly biased towards Polanski began to appear. Compared with the rush of public sentiment in Hollywood two months ago, these comments are quite restrained and never offend the sensitive nerves of the public.


    "As a famous director who has won an Oscar award, facing the unbearable past 30 years ago is announced to the public, and will cause jail, how embarrassing and absurd it makes the world feel..."


    "But as Polanski himself, I believe it is not a beast that has no conscience at all. The conscience condemnation over the past 30 years will definitely make him sad. We should also see what Polanski will do in the future and how to do it. ."


    Regardless of the rescuer, Ryan also helped the other party to clean the floor quietly. It can be said to be a standard good person, just like the contradictions between him and Polanski in "The Pianist" have never existed. On the other hand, In other words, he has transformed into a real businessman, thinking about problems more based on interests, rather than his own preferences or dislikes.


    For example, he now meets with a person who doesn''t like much, and he is still chatting and laughing with him.


    "Ryan, you should go to politics." George Clooney seemed to be joking. "Maybe you can enter the White House."


    Looking back from the wall separating Natalie and Scarlett¡¯s Garden, Ryan picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile, ¡°I like Hollywood better than the White House.¡±


    Natalie, who was next to her, picked up the coffee pot, filled them with coffee, and sat back in her seat.


    "Have you seen the sample?" George Clooney took the initiative to change the subject, "I think Nat did an excellent job."


    "I think so too." Ryan deliberately gave Natalie a thumbs up. "Trust me, dear, this is an excellent war reflection film."


    "What''s the plan next?" George Clooney asked again.


    Although he is the real producer of this film, he understands that some permissions are not in his own hands.


    "The film will be released by Miramax." Ryan has already had a complete plan. "Starting to start screening in North America in November, George, you know what our goal is. All work must start ahead of schedule."


    "I think you have done enough." Even without personally participating, George Clooney could guess some of Ryan''s thoughts. "The situation is too favorable for us now."


    "There is nothing wrong with adequate preparation." Ryan flicked the coffee cup beside him, "I hate upsets the most."


    Even if you are upset, you are going to explode others by yourself. No one likes being upset by yourself.


    Charlize turned to the fashion industry. Nicole won the Oscar three times, and he dislikes art films very much. Natalie¡¯s best director is his only demand for Oscars in the near future.


    It is really not easy to win this award. Although Natalie has an advantage over Catherine Birog''s identity, her age is the biggest obstacle.


    Don''t forget, she is not yet thirty years old!


    Therefore, in addition to uniting multiple forces, Ryan seizes every opportunity that can be used to create favorable conditions for his side as much as possible.


    As for the seemingly biggest opponent, instead of a real threat, anyone who knows Oscars will understand that it is almost impossible for James Cameron to get the best director by virtue of "Avatar".


    "Avatar" is not a subject closely related to reality like "Titanic" after all.


    Sending away George Clooney, Ryan and Natalie returned to the villa without going to the garden. He sat on the sofa and considered the public relations of "The Hurt Locker", while Natalie sat next to him and looked at it. Hebrew books.


    "what is this?"


    Ryan couldn''t help being a little curious when she saw Natalie''s fascinating look, but he did not know Hebrew.


    "When I was making a movie in Israel, someone recommended a novel to me." Natalie turned the cover and shook in front of Ryan. "This is an autobiographical novel by the famous Israeli writer Amos Oz, " A Story of Love and Darkness."


    "I want to buy the film adaptation rights." She said again.


    "Another schizophrenia!"


    Muttered in his heart, Ryan had a little impression of the book. He took the book from Natalie, put it aside, and said the long-awaited plan, "Nat, why don¡¯t we really cooperate. Once, you are the director and I am the leading actor." (To be continued...)

 Chapter 819： Avatar Day

    "Are you talking about the script that has been kept in the study?"


    Hearing Ryan''s words, Natalie naturally remembered the script of the magic theme, "I remember you have been revising it all the time. Did you finish it?"


    "Not yet." Ryan shook his head. "At first it was just a novel, but it was later borrowed by Blizzard Entertainment to become a game. Now it is the world''s largest online game..."


    Natalie understood the meaning of Ryan''s words, "Movies adapted from games are very rare?"


    "That''s it." Ryan nodded, "If most of the game settings are used, the film will almost certainly fail, so I have to adjust the relevant content."


    "Then wait until you finish the script," Natalie got up and walked upstairs. "Let''s talk about it slowly, okay?"


    "no problem."


    Ryan followed afterwards. This project seemed a bit difficult because he wanted to try Charlize''s proposal.


    The two people talked about it, of course, the current super-hot online game "World of Warcraft". Since a few years ago, Ryan took time to write the script, and even the first draft of the trilogy was completed, but then he rejected it. Yes, because the script contains too deep traces of the game.


    The adaptation of games into movies has always been a difficult problem in the film industry. From the 1990s to the present, there have been street players one after another, and few succeeded. Strictly speaking, the real successes are the "Tomb Raider 1" and "Resident Evil" series. The rest are basically word-of-mouth and commercial failures, especially those big investment game movies, which often fail. Bigger.


    This is exactly where Ryan scruples. Games are different from novels. His audience is more loyal and narrower, even if "World of Warcraft" has tens of millions of users worldwide, if the movie follows the game. It will only become a niche movie or fan movie, which is not the result Ryan wanted.


    Magical themes definitely require huge investment. Small crowd means that the number of audiences is limited, and the future market is narrow, and it is destined to be difficult to recover the investment.


    Therefore, Ryan has been revising the script. After a long period of consideration, he discarded the too large and complicated worldview, and separately took out the story of Alsace and the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the undead of the natural disasters. He even just used the basic settings of his novels and games to re-edit the content.


    There will be many changes in the character of Alsace in the script, and even some other characters. On the premise of retaining the main lines such as Stratholme Slaughter, he has added a lot of content that has not been mentioned in the novels and games. After all, this movie is aimed at It''s not just game fans.


    Games, literature, and movies are completely different carriers, and many changes are also necessary choices.


    Ryan even considered the beginning of the first film. It will be a fierce battle to introduce the background history. It is very vulgar and routine, and there is almost no creativity, but this is a good way to attract most of the audience to continue watching. Many movies such as "Gladiator" and "Saving Private Ryan" all start with this kind of routine but not actually related to the movie theme.


    Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg knew exactly what the audience wanted to see most.


    When the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was released, Ryan would not even consider the voices of too much fighting and too many wars in the literary and artistic films. This is a large-scale commercial film, not a literary and artistic film. You can just go out and turn left if you don''t want to watch fights and wars. There are theaters in North America that specialize in broadcasting literary films.


    He still thinks of the sounds that think that the Battle of Perrin Plains and the Battle of Black Gate should be included in the movie. If the "Lord of the Rings" movie does not focus on the classic battles, I am afraid that the global box office of the trilogy will add up. It''s not bad to pass a billion dollars, and the entire series cannot become a classic.


    The summer file has entered the end, and Walt Disney''s films are still released one after another. Even though Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is moved to the summer file, it is still strong; although the performance of "The End of the World 2012" can only be said Generally, but overseas is strong, the global final box office of more than 600 million US dollars is not a problem.


    The major Hollywood companies are fighting in the global film market. It was not until August that the fierce market competition became calmer, and then the most amazing news of this summer was born.


    "Cameron''s twelve years of sharpening a sword''s new film''Avatar Day'' is launched!"


    At the San Diego Comic-Con, Ryan and James Cameron jointly announced that the super giant is about to go public-a total investment of up to 550 million US dollars, James Cameron and Ryan Jenkins jointly created The new film "Avatar" will be shown free of charge in digital cinemas in many countries and regions around the world for up to 15 minutes on August 21.


    Ryan also attended this event and said in an interview, ¡°What we are going to do is unprecedented. This will be an experiment in social marketing. We will be in many imax3d theaters around the world on August 21. Part of the 3d cinema is showing, we want to let fans all over the world can watch this 15-minute "Avatar" clip for free. This day will be the "Avatar Day"!


    The marketing of "Avatar" is different from the traditional propaganda activities of distributing trailers and marketing. Although 3d and imax technologies are becoming more and more popular in North America, the latest wave of 3d movies has just emerged on a global scale. There are a wider audience of movies who have not yet had the opportunity to enter 3d cinemas, and some audiences are still discouraged by 3d movies due to high ticket prices.


    And this new way of promotion can allow more people to enter the theater and learn about 3d movies for free, which is not a very forward-looking initiative.


    On August 21st''Avatar Day'', viewers can enjoy the clips of the "Avatar" movie in selected 3d and imax theaters. In addition, Avatar-themed video games and movie dolls will also be released at the same time.


    During the day of''Avatar Day'', 248 imax theaters across the United States and 438 theaters in 77 other countries and regions have about 700 3D screens to show this "Avatar" film that requires 3D glasses to be viewed. Walt Disney official It also announced that the online version of the "Avatar" trailer on the 20th had an astonishing number of views of 7.8 million on the day it was first released, setting a record for the highest viewing record of 4.2 million in a single day for the "Transformers 2" trailer.


    "The last time Ryan and Cameron joined forces was "Titanic."


    Some people¡¯s comments undoubtedly reflect the reason why the trailer is so popular, "We have every reason to believe that they will once again bring a super blockbuster across the age."


    The 16-minute clip screened on "Avatar Day" contains 5 passages from the "Avatar" film, as well as a preview of a quick edit. Director James Cameron personally appeared on the 3D screen to lead the audience into the world of Avatar.


    If "Jurassic Park 3" and the two "Transformers" have gradually made 3d and imax deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then these 16-minute "Avatar" clips have almost opened a new era of movies.


    "After watching these 15 minutes, I really understand why Ryan invested US$550 million, why James Cameron had to wait more than 10 years before he started shooting, and it took so many years to complete this masterpiece, no matter what In terms of character design and art direction, or in terms of computer special effects, this work can be said to be the finished product of the highest class."


    "The color and reflective accuracy of alien skin cannot be done during the 90s to the early 2000s. Not to mention 3D. Ryan and Cameron were the first to advocate 3D cinematography. I also understand why. Those directors and college businessmen who have watched the short film gave such a high score, and the expectation is so high."


    "If the movie can maintain the level of these 15 minutes, I will pay 100 dollars to watch the version and feel that it is worth the price, not to mention that there may be more peculiar things at the end, and those plane wars, but this one It¡¯s impossible to watch the normal 35mm version of the movie. 3d is the focus of this movie. It¡¯s hard to imagine what will become when I watch those things change back to normal 2d?


    Senior movie fans who have watched the film are not stingy with exaggeration. Even if the ten minutes cut by James Cameron is far from the true essence of the film, it is completely worthy of such praise.


    "The 3D effect of "Avatar" surpasses all 3D movies in recent years. It can be said to be a brand new 3D realm. In addition, the realistic level of the cg characters in the film is also a new milestone in the history of the film industry. You can watch several clips. Director Cameron¡¯s dedication to this film and superb directing skills. But 15 minutes is too short, and it ends when everyone is still proud of it. I really want to watch the complete "Avatar" directly..."


    ¡ª¡ªThis is from a British fan.


    "Visually, there is nothing close to what Cameron has achieved now. Although I am not so satisfied with the character design, they are indeed shown on the screen in a real and exciting way even for a moment. I feel like I¡¯m on Pandora. When I saw the Na¡¯vi for the first time, it was terrible, but once you watch it for 5 minutes, it will feel very natural. In short, Pandora is out of human imagination."


    ¡ª¡ªAustralian movie fan.


    "The 3D effect is quite amazing. It is a hundred times stronger than the 3D movie that was converted to cheat money in the later stage in China! Even the "Transformers" that is currently recognized as the best 3D effect is not as good as "Avatar." It was a little distracted at the beginning, but it took a while to get used to it. Even when there is a close-up shot of strong motion, you will feel immersive. When the camera is still, you will find the depth of the picture, which is really amazing!"


    ¡ª¡ªChinese movie fans.


    "Imax3d''s "Avatar" three-dimensional clip is really amazing, super exciting and amazingly shocking! The audience was filled with surprises and admiration. Everyone was stunned. It is really a revolutionary masterpiece of the movie!"


    -Japanese movie fans. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 820： Those who want to divide the cake

    Excellent marketing is indispensable for every big-selling film. Behind the production cost of the film, there are often promotional and marketing expenses that are equally huge or even far exceed the production cost, such as those well-known small-cost big-selling movies.


    For example, in the previous life of "Blair the Witch", not to mention a series of distribution costs such as making a copy, this film cost only tens of thousands of dollars, and the publicity alone throws away $25 million!


    For example, the "Supernatural" or "Ghost Record" released this year, the copying of Paramount Pictures alone cost more than 6.5 million U.S. dollars, and more than 40 million U.S. dollars was spent on publicity...


    Walt Disney paid $300 million in publicity and marketing expenses for "Avatar" that exceeded the production cost. The board of directors was willing to throw out the money. First, the success of Ryan and James Cameron''s last joint venture was too great. Second To remove the share remuneration paid to Cameron, the income of the film will all go to Disney.


    In other words, Disney owns all the copyrights of the film, and this is Disney''s own son.


    Similarly, the copyrights of "Blair the Witch" and "Supernatural Phenomenon" also belong to their respective companies, otherwise companies such as Paramount Pictures will never invest such a huge amount of money in this kind of project. If someone joins it, it will be divided into half or even. More than half of the profits, these profit-seeking Hollywood companies will not hesitate to cut off the project.


    After all, the two films can be described as ¡®super bad¡¯ from creativity to content to shooting techniques. For Hollywood, which is following the trend, it is not difficult to copy similar films that do not touch copyright minefields.


    "Avatar" has its irreproducibility. Although there is no one irreplaceable in Hollywood, there is only one James Cameron in the world.


    Although the investment in the film is huge and the profit prospects are not particularly clear, many people want to join in and get a share of the pie.


    Twentieth Century Fox is one of them, if not for the appearance of Ryan. They will be James Cameron¡¯s biggest partner, but since "Titanic", Ryan has used generous investment and co-investment in the 3d and imax business to completely recruit James Cameron, the truck driver here In terms of the project, no investors other than Disney were considered at all.


    These can''t make Twentieth Century Fox give up. From the day the film was filmed, they frequently contacted Disney''s management, wanting to take down the distribution rights of the film, even if they could not get all of them. One of the North American or overseas distribution rights must also be won.


    Even if the issuance cost can be reduced to the lowest point of 7% or even 5% of the box office, Ryan does not want to divide this piece of cake. What is 5% of the more than two billion US dollars? Even if the 20th Century Fox could not enjoy the full box office share, it would still be a terrifying number.


    If you switch to other projects, Ryan doesn''t mind giving the partner a piece of cake to taste, but this is "Avatar"!


    "Ryan, the cooperation between us has been very pleasant for the past ten years."


    A middle-aged man with glasses, obviously Jewish, looked at Ryan seriously.


    This is a seaside villa in Malibu. As Sandy got older, she became more and more curious about the outside world, and the paparazzi in Beverly Hills was rampant, so Nicole simply took her to move here again.


    What Ryan didn''t expect was. Not long after they moved, Tom Rothman, the co-chairman and CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, came to visit him. It was naturally related to movie affairs such as "Avatar".


    "Disney and News Corporation have always been partners..."


    Speaking casually, Ryan waited for Elsa to come over and pour coffee. Remind her with gestures and let her tell Nicole and Sandy who were walking on the beach, and come back later.


    People who come are not friends at all. There is no need for Nicole to come forward to entertain.


    ""Avatar"..."


    Hearing the other party''s initiative to mention this film, Ryan reached out and interrupted him, "Tom, Disney will not give up the distribution rights of this film. If it is for this matter, then I can only say sorry. I cannot change the decision of Disney¡¯s board of directors alone."


    Naturally, the other party would not believe this kind of nonsense, and Ryan was just showing his attitude.


    "Well, Twentieth Century Fox abandoned "Avatar"."


    Tom Rothman didn''t seem to want to stick to it either, and took the initiative to turn to the other side. "I heard that most of the later stages of "Avengers" have been completed?"


    "Yes." Raising his eyes to look at the other party, Ryan''s eyes narrowed slightly and returned to normal in an instant. "Disney Pictures has formulated a complete publicity and distribution plan."


    His meaning is very clear, Disney will never allow outsiders to share the benefits of "Avengers".


    Although he was a little unhappy with the twentieth century Fox lion''s big mouth, Ryan didn''t say much, gestured to the coffee cup, and continued the discussion lazily.


    Every company has a series that does not allow outsiders to get involved. Warner has it, Universal has it, Paramount has it, Twentieth Century Fox has it, and Disney has it too.


    The only difference is that Disney will not share the benefits of too many series, and they are too jealous.


    "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Transformers", "The Hobbit", "Toy Story", "The Bourne", "Harry Potter", "Shrek", "Cars" and so on...


    These series of movies can bring extremely stable income, even a fool will not let people share food in their own mouths.


    Of course, the amazing superhero series is also in this rank.


    Sure enough, Tom Rothman mentioned the amazing superhero series. Ryan only thought about it for a while and refused his request for cooperation, just like 20th Century Fox would not allow other companies to intervene in the "Star Wars series". Like the release, Disney also has its own restricted area.


    Even if the other party mentioned the cooperative relationship for many years, Ryan remained unmoved. This kind of head cannot be opened, otherwise it will bring a series of chain reactions.


    Today is only 20th Century Fox. If they can get a piece of Disney¡¯s restricted area, what would the other six members of Universal, Warner, and Paramount think?


    In fact, in Ryan¡¯s mind, it is not completely impossible to talk about it. If the other party is willing to transfer the copyright of part of the "Star Wars series" in his hand, Disney does not mind letting them become the distributor of several superhero movies. If such a goal can be achieved, then if it successfully acquires Lucasfilm in the future, Disney will have the complete "Star Wars series" copyright in its hands.


    Unfortunately, Ryan is very clear that there is no room for negotiation on this matter.


    Seeing that there is no progress, Tom Rothman quickly bid farewell. Ryan did not care. Now Walt Disney is not afraid of competition or challenge from any media group.


    After leaving the reception room, Ryan took the special elevator and went directly down the cliff where the villa was located. On a silvery beach, he found Nicole and Sandy, who were piling sand.


    "father¡­¡­"


    Probably seeing Ryan, the little guy who was over three years old beckoned here.


    "Hi, my dear." Ryan strode over, pointed to the invisible pile of sand next to her, and asked, "What is this?"


    "Castle." Sandy looked at Nicole and said, "In Mommy''s story, the princess always lives in the castle. Why am I not?"


    "Because you are not a princess." Ryan bent over and gently squeezed the little guy''s face, "You are our angel."


    "That... is the one with wings..." Sandy made a flying pose, "Able to fly... Birdman?"


    "Sanny..." Nicole''s voice dragged a long time, and the little guy who became fluent in language quickly lowered his head, "I''m sorry, Mommy."


    "Taylor taught you this?" Ryan asked.


    Sandy held back his hands and closed his mouth tightly, refusing to betray his sister.


    "Okay..." Ryan squatted beside Nicole, "When I didn''t say hello."


    "Hmm..." Sandy nodded his head hard and said happily, "Taylor said, you can''t be a traitor."


    Ryan and Nicole looked at each other and laughed at the same time.


    Before she knew it, Sandy, who had become a little traitor, looked at his father curiously, then at his mother, and continued to play his own sand pile game.


    "Twentieth Century Fox''s appetite is too big."


    Hearing Ryan talk about the reason for Tom Rothman¡¯s visit, Nicole also disagreed. ¡°Although it is common practice for the six major companies to release each other¡¯s movies, no one will give out their ace series.¡±


    "So..." Ryan shrugged, "I rejected them."


    "Who?" Sandy interrupted suddenly curiously.


    "A bunch of bad guys."


    Ryan stood up and looked at the sea in the distance. The blue sky and the deep blue water were connected together at the end of the line of sight. The sun hiding in the clouds appeared when it was about to fall into the sea. The sea and the sky were dyed red.


    "Honey." Nicole''s voice came from the side. She pointed to the sea and asked Sandy, "Look over there, is it pretty?"


    "It''s pretty Sandy came over and stood beside Ryan, pulling his slacks, "Dad...I like it here. "


    "I like the sea!" she shouted again, "I like Dad and Mommy!"


    "Then you like Dad more?" Nicole picked up Sandy after patted off the sand on his hands. "Or Mummy?"


    Turning his head, Ryan deliberately looked at her daughter seriously.


    Sandy stuck his tongue out at him and said mischievously, "Of course it''s Mommy."


    This is almost an answer without any doubt. Ryan walked over and nodded her small forehead, took her daughter from Nicole, carried her on her shoulders, and walked towards the direction.


    Nicole chased up from behind and took his free arm.


    "You are all my angels." Ryan said to her. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 821： Obstacles that cannot be bypassed

    In the middle of the spacious dining room is a long oak dining table. Opposite the dining table is a transparent floor-to-ceiling window. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows made of tempered glass, you can capture the charming scenery of Malibu Beach. The sea breeze will lightly brush every inch of the space in the restaurant like a lover''s hand.


    Several people were sitting on both sides of the dining table, constantly talking and laughing. Sandy¡¯s occasional childish speech would also arouse bursts of laughter.


    You don''t need to look at it, and you know that the atmosphere of the banquet is very harmonious, obviously not for mere entertainment.


    Sitting across from Ryan and Nicole are George Lucas and his girlfriend Melody Hobson. Needless to say, the former is an executive at Disney, and she is an animation studio at DreamWorks Animation. Chairman of the Ministry.


    George Lucas and Melody Hobson have been dating since 2006. Many people were surprised at that time. The reason is simple. Melody Hobson is a pure black, despite the slogan against racial discrimination. The shouting is loud, but Hollywood can be regarded as one of the most racist circles.


    Fortunately, Melody Hobson is not a black person from a black community in the traditional sense. She is from a good background, has a higher education, and her family is also a mainstream middle class, perhaps as a black-skinned and white-hearted coconut person. It would be more appropriate, otherwise George Lucas and his children would not accept her.


    Of course, just like Will Smith or Ohei Tan, the black people who can really enter the mainstream are basically coconut people.


    "French food is good," George Lucas looked at Melody Hobson who was talking to Nicole, and said to Ryan, "very authentic."


    "This is a chef Nicole specially hired from Paris."


    Putting down the knife and fork, Ryan raised his glass to George Lucas, "I have no special interest in food."


    "Yes." George Lucas agreed, "Hollywood is rumored that Ryan Jenkins only likes movies."


    "Commercial film."


    Ryan added a sentence deliberately, and both of them laughed.


    After the laughter, George Lucas said again, "It is commercial operations that make movies the most important form of cultural entertainment in the world, and it is also business that allows Hollywood movies to conquer the world."


    "I agree with this very much." Ryan put down his knife and fork.


    "So..." George Lucas made a gesture, "You invest in James Cameron again, want to create a movie miracle again?"


    "Five hundred and fifty million U.S. dollars," George Lucas seemed a little emotional. "Looking at the whole world, you are the only one who dares to make such a large investment, Ryan."


    "Because I believe that James will not let me down." Ryan did not say much. The joint achievements he and James Cameron achieved on "Titanic" are the biggest proof.


    "For every dollar of investment in movies," George Lucas seems to think of himself, "the pressure on investors and producers will increase by ten percent, and $550 million is enough to crush many people."


    "Aren''t we living under pressure all the time?"


    Ryan seemed very relaxed. It seemed that the huge investment in "Avatar" did not put him under too much pressure. "Before the film is released, we have to worry about whether the film can be completed on time; when the film is released, we have to worry about whether it can sell at the box office; After downgrades, I also need to worry about whether there will be no one cares about the peripheral products."


    In this circle, the pressure on investors is no less than that of first-line actors, directors and producers.


    "I have been under such pressure for forty years." George Lucas seemed to think of the situation when he had just started his business with Francis Coppola. "In 1969, I co-founded Diorama Films with Fran. Under his guidance, I completed my film debut. The female work "Five Hundred Years Later". Since then, I have been surrounded by pressure..."


    He shook his head, "From the time of independent directors against big studios, to later working with Twentieth Century Fox, I always felt that something was pressing on my shoulders."


    "Perhaps he''s getting older," George Lucas seemed a little bit self-deprecating, "can''t bear the pressure anymore."


    "So you want to retire again?" Ryan used a joking tone, nodded slightly when he saw George Lucas, frowned and said, "George, I remember you told me that you were going to retire a few years ago. Up."


    "I''m really going to retire this time." George Lucas doesn''t seem to be joking, "I will no longer directly participate in commercial films in the future, and I will focus most of my energy on experimental films."


    These were not beyond Ryan''s expectations. He invited the Lucas family to be a guest because he heard from Catherine Kennedy that George Lucas wanted to retire again.


    Ryan did not extend the topic, but turned to other aspects. Several people discussed the current situation in Hollywood, and also discussed the upcoming "Despicable Me" and "How to Tame You" by DreamWorks Animation Studios. "The Dragon" and other topics.


    Afterwards, Nicole picked up Sandy and took Melody Hobson to visit other places in the villa, while Ryan and George Lucas went to the study.


    "George, we have been friends for many years."


    Sitting on the two sofas in the study, Ryan didn''t turn around and said directly, "I wonder if you are interested in becoming a Disney shareholder?"


    No one would say ¡®¡¯ like this. No one knows about the development and prosperity of Disney, especially its terrifying profitability. It is difficult for the whole world to find a second media group whose profitability is higher than that of Disney.


    George Lucas did not answer. He knew that Ryan had nothing else to say, and made a ¡®please continue¡¯ gesture.


    "George," Ryan cast aside those jokes, and asked very seriously, "If you retire, what do you plan to do with Lucasfilm."


    "Disney..." George Lucas still did not answer, but instead asked, "Ryan, are you very interested in Lucasfilm?"


    "I think there are not many people in the world who are not interested in Lucasfilm." Ryan spread his hand and said, "If you want to sell Lucasfilm, please give priority to Disney?"


    After thinking about it for about half a minute, George Lucas slowly said, "Ryan, I can only say that. I am personally interested in becoming a shareholder of Disney, but you understand that this is not something I can promise. I can''t give you any promises."


    From these words, Ryan clearly heard that George Lucas did intend to sell Lucasfilm. He nodded and said unhurriedly, "I think Disney¡¯s board of directors can add another one. member."


    This kind of transaction involving billions of dollars requires careful and long-term argumentation and negotiation. No one will finalize the cooperation intention in a few words. Ryan and George Lucas are no exception. The attitude behind Lucas It is clear that if he sells Lucasfilm, and the conditions are similar, Disney will be given priority.


    If someone bid far higher than Disney, then I can only say sorry.


    Of course, George Lucas is also very interested in some of the words that Ryan faintly mentioned, such as using Disney stocks in exchange for the shares of Lucas Pictures in his hands, and introducing him to the Disney board.


    In short, the two did not reach a clear intention, but they were very interested in each other.


    In fact, Ryan knows very well that under the premise that George Lucas and other shareholders intend to sell Lucasfilm, the biggest obstacle does not come from Lucasfilm itself, but from possible external competitors, and A few hurdles that Disney can''t get around.


    Lucasfilm has three key profitable projects, one is Industrial Light & Magic, the second is the "Star Wars" series, and the third is the "Indiana Jones" series.


    Industrial Light and Magic need not be careful, this is the world''s most powerful film special effects company, not one of them! Moreover, although Industrial Light & Magic''s profit is not too much, it is relatively stable, and its business is relatively independent, and it does not have too many external factors like movies.


    For the "Indiana Jones" series, Paramount has a more active voice-Paramount co-produced the series with Lucasfilm, and also owns the distribution rights-in view of the characteristics of this series, Ryan also Don''t mind Disney sharing the revenue with each other.


    The biggest trouble lies in Lucasfilm¡¯s most profitable "Star Wars" series, even if it was hit by the financial crisis in 2008Star Wars series of toys and excluding DVD and TV network on-demand copyrights. Its peripheral products still bring Lucasfilm''s net profit of more than 231 million U.S. dollars!


    If Disney wins Lucasfilm, it will definitely restart the "Star Wars" series, and Twentieth Century Fox will become the biggest obstacle.


    Twentieth Century Fox owns the perpetual distribution rights of "Star Wars: A New Hope", as well as the cinema, post-theatre, and DVD copyrights of five other Star Wars movies as of May 2030, as well as the TV network on-demand copyright, even if it is released in the future. "Star Wars" complete DVD set, Twentieth Century Fox is an obstacle that Disney can''t get around.


    Sharing the benefits of "Star Wars" with Twentieth Century Fox is not unreasonable. The problem is that Twentieth Century Fox and News Corporation, who had just been rejected by him, would watch Lucasfilm fall into Disney''s pockets so eagerly. ?


    "Lucasfilm has demonstrated extraordinary imagination, excitement and visual effects, as well as the ability to tell stories consistently from its founder, George Lucas. If Lucasfilm-a The world-class movie database and Disney''s unique and inexhaustible creativity in platform, business and market operations are united, and it will definitely bring long-term, visible and significant driving force and benefits to Disney."


    This is what Robert Iger said to Ryan in the previous meeting of Disney''s highest trio. The CEO of Disney, just like Ryan, made no secret of his desire for Lucasfilm.


    In addition to getting Industrial Light and Magic, which is Disney''s much-needed special effects department, Lucasfilm''s series of classic film images are an effective supplement to Disney''s character library. R1152

 Chapter 822： Why does this happen

    From an animation workshop that started at US$50 in 1923, it has now become a Fortune Global 500 with a market value of US$89 billion. For nearly ninety years, "strong brand and character authorization" has been one of Walt Disney''s success secrets.


    The foundation of all this comes from high-quality content products-in the early years, it was exquisite and cheerful animated films, and in recent years, it has been a series of film and television dramas that have a healthy and active image or temperament, animation, family fun, adventure, or superhero, just like now Like virtual characters such as Mickey Mouse, the Pooh and The Lion King, who are still not weak, such as Cowdy Cowboy, Shrek, Captain Sparrow, the surprised Peter Parker, Captain America and many other characters, they have always been teenagers and unidentified people all over the world. The object of adult pampering.


    Continuously swallowing Pixar Studios and DreamWorks Animation Studios, both listed companies must be proficient in playing financial games and handing over beautiful financial reports, but it is also a business requirement to build a three-dimensional, integrated entertainment media group.


    After all, in the traditional Hollywood studios, Disney is the only self-reliant, transforming itself from the existing studio structure into a comprehensive media group, while other peers have either become targets of acquisition and become News Corp. The branches of large consortia such as Sony Group and others are as helpless as Raidenhua and MGM.


    If you look back, Ryan chose to sell Miramax Films back to the Weinstein Brothers, which is actually a very wise choice. Although Miramax can also bring a lot of profits through film distribution and audiovisual publishing, However, the success of this company¡¯s films and art films are too far apart from Disney¡¯s brand temperament, and has no substantial contribution to Disney¡¯s "strong brand and role image", and lacks the possibility of "role authorization".


    This is not the case for Lucasfilm. It is roughly in line with Disney and Ryan''s production philosophy. If Lucasfilm succeeds, Disney''s film business puzzle is almost complete.


    The old animation business includes Pixar Studios, DreamWorks Animation Studios and Disney Animation Studios. In terms of live-action movies, the characters and themes of the Marvel Superhero series and the Star Wars series are far more than those of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "National Treasures". "This category is too rich. The series of movies can be made endlessly like a TV series, especially for verified themes with a broad audience base, and product derivative development will be even more prosperous.


    Just like the amazing superhero movies sweeping the world, it is not difficult to imagine that with the huge platform support of Disney, the new "Star Wars" in the future will be even more popular.


    Yes, in the eyes of many people, movies like Star Wars are simply not worth mentioning, and they are extremely vulgar, but no one can deny it. It is these ¡®daydream¡¯ movies that can become popular all over the world.


    People like to embrace this experience. On the one hand, it is really interesting. On the other hand, 90% of the audience in the world regard movies as a way of consumption that can provide themselves with simple or pure entertainment.


    For the widest audience and the consideration of maximizing benefits, the successful model of big groups, big investments and big movies is destined to be the mainstream. If the "Star Wars" series is restarted, it will certainly be included in this model.


    At the subsequent routine board meeting, it took almost no time, and Disney¡¯s board of directors reached a consensus on the acquisition of Lucasfilm. Disney will set up a strong acquisition team to contact Lucasfilm with part of the cash and stock exchange to promote the acquisition as soon as possible.


    This will be a long and arduous task. The complexity far exceeds the acquisition of DreamWorks Animation Studios.


    Now it can be said that it is a good opportunity for Disney to complete this acquisition. Time Warner is still breaking up with AOL and has no time to look outside; Viacom was badly injured in the financial crisis and has no ability to continue to expand; Global is more than enough. . Not enterprising enough; roles like Conscart and French Vivendi are not enough to watch in front of Disney.


    Twentieth Century Fox and News Corporation, which own part of the rights to the Star Wars series, are possible potential opponents. Ryan is concerned about Disney itself. We are also observing the reactions of Fox and News Corporation in the 20th Century.


    For the time being, both Fox and News Corporation in the 20th century are relatively calm and have no special movements.


    This acquisition is only part of Ryan¡¯s work. In October, the release date of "Avatar" is getting closer and closer. Disney''s promotional activities have become more extensive. In addition to the constant exposure of the starring actors and films, James Cameron also counted. He personally appeared on the stage this time and promoted his latest masterpiece.


    "The script of this film actually took shape as early as 1995, but at that time there was not enough film technology to meet the ideal requirements of completing this film. It is precisely because of the insistence on the production of the''perfect film'' that I put the script away. , While conducting technology research and development and testing."


    In the latest movie tidbits revealed, Cameron introduced the origin of the movie, "In the past 10 years, I tried "Terminator 2: 3d version of the battle of the sky", filmed "Titanic", "Abyss" "Ghost", "Deep Sea Alien" and so on, but the idea of ??"Avatar" and the exploration of 3D technology have never stopped."


    "Until 2005, Ryan and I thought that the time was almost ripe, and we joined forces with the producer Jon Landau who filmed "Titanic" to start the "Avatar" filming plan that took more than four years."


    It also includes a passage from Ryan, "This is an unprecedented collaborative experience. James not only creatively created an unprecedented new world-"Pandora Planet", but also developed a new set of languages ??and cultures. , The uniqueness of the Nameis and other creatures living on the planet is even more beautiful. In my opinion, James is a perfect''inventor''!"


    The heroine Zoe Saldana bluntly expressed the common voice of the crew, "What I will always keep in mind is that I participated in a Hollywood movie revolution!"


    Compared with the massive "Avatar", "The Hurt Locker" is almost completely submerged. This movie did not do much in advertising. The main publicity work of the film is aimed at Oscars. As for the market acceptance, I think You can predict the box office of the movie if you think about the subject matter of the movie.


    Films with this subject matter, even if they were shot by James Cameron, would still be niche movies, and the subject matter of the film would affect the box office more directly than any other aspect.


    Ryan created too many favorable conditions for this film, even if the film was only opened in North America with 4 theaters in November, he still held a premiere for the film.


    The scale of the premiere was not large, but many people came to join in. Apart from those famous Jewish people in Hollywood, Sidney Gannis, the rotating chairman of the Academy, also invited a number of Oscar judges to attend, which does not violate the Academy. Oscar rules formulated.


    People entered the theater one after another. When the movie was about to start, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Francis Coppola came together. Ryan and the three shook hands one by one. Was beckoned to Sophia Coppola, who was following her father, and walked towards the screening hall with the three major directors.


    Natalie and Sophia Coppola are one step behind.


    "Tell you a good news, Nat." Sophia Coppola leaned close to Natalie, whispering, "In the car when I came, George, Stephen and my dad, they already said they would support you."


    They have seen the samples of the film a long time ago, and now that they have a film of sufficient quality, it undoubtedly made many people''s final determination.


    "It''s really enviable." Sophia Coppola''s mouth was obviously sour.


    Natalie just smiled, and now it¡¯s unnecessary to say anything. Although the friendship between her and Sofia Coppola is good, it is far from that of Scarlett, and some things are not suitable for talking now. .


    "After finishing "The Hunger Games"," Sophia Coppola probably also noticed something wrong. After smiling, she dispelled the jealousy on her face, and said, "I want to turn to literary movies too. Been pulled down too much."


    Speaking of it, she is the first American woman to be nominated for an Oscar for best director. Many people even think that she will inevitably become the first best female director. Who knows that in the past few years, the situation has turned upside down. Change, I have gained the title of the world''s No. 1 female director at the box office, but fell far behind the girls around me at the Oscars.


    No one knows the gains and losses.


    If Sofia Coppola thinks she is no worse than Natalie on the subject of director talent alone, why does this happen?


    Her eyes naturally fell on the person walking in front. The biggest difference between the two lies in Ryan. Natalie has Ryan''s full support. Without Ryan, she would be able to go to where she is now. High, it will also take more time.


    Speaking of I am also fortunate. I have won Ryan''s support since the 1990s. Ryan has also spent a lot of thought on his first Oscar nomination. The world''s top box office female director almost It was given to me by the other party.


    Although I was extremely tempted for a while, I finally endured it and didn''t come with him, otherwise...


    With a light sigh, Sophia Coppola dissipated all these random thoughts, took a few steps to catch up with his father, and entered the theater with them.


    When sitting on the seat, Ryan felt his hands were a little numb. There were too many people who came to say hello all the way. Most of these people are Jewish. In recent years, Ryan has been in the maintenance of the Jewish community. Many substantial actions have been taken, and their attitude has also brought more sincerity.


    "What did they say to you?" Ryan asked Natalie.


    Along the way, many people whispered to Natalie. (To be continued...)


    ...

 Chapter 823： Privileges for the winner

    "Praising me is the pride of Jewish women."


    Leaning in Ryan''s ear, Natalie lowered her voice, "If the film is okay, they will support me in this awards season."


    "This is a good thing." Ryan nodded slightly. "My dear, if nothing else, your biggest opponent will be James Cameron."


    "I saw Jim last week." Natalie obviously disagrees. "He doesn''t think he will win the prize, even if "Avatar" is as successful as you expected."


    The lights in the theater suddenly went out, and the release of Miramax appeared on the screen. Ryan did not continue to say anything. In fact, James Cameron didn¡¯t care about the little golden man anymore. The Oscar¡¯s best director¡¯s weight was in the world. In Wang''s mind, I am afraid that a new film technology is not as important yet.


    Cameron himself knows very well that such a sci-fi movie made entirely with cg cannot win the favor of the Oscars.


    However, Disney will still provide public relations for "Avatar" because it can increase the commercial revenue of the film to a certain extent, and the focus of public relations is definitely not the best director.


    Past and present, "Avatar"''s biggest Oscar opponent has kicked off on the big screen.


    The bomb disposal team of company b consists of three people. They sacrificed the bomb disposal captain in a mission, so the film protagonist James joined in. James is a person with a heroic complex. He is not afraid of his own death. He does not abide by the operating procedures at all. He always dismantles the bombs single-handedly, and even takes the risk of taking off the bomb dismantling suit again and again for the convenience of his actions. .


    Unlike his teammates, James is not in a state of trembling fear and praying like "today we survived". He is more like a crazy technical master. When he goes with a bunch of bombs, he is more focused. Dare to give up all security measures.


    This old man seems to regard dangerous work like bomb disposal as simple as repairing a car, just like hackers are obsessed with Internet technology. He is obviously "obsessed" in the process of bomb disposal. When people have evacuated the bomb and can detonate it safely, James refused to evacuate. For the safety of his comrades and the Iraqi people, he always insisted on removing the bomb.


    To be sure, during the bomb disposal process, James got a strong sense of pleasure. When he dismantled the bomb and returned to the "Humvee" to light a cigarette, his expression was as if he had just finished making love. Tired and satisfied.


    Perhaps James really does not fear death, but it is this man who is not afraid of self-death, but was touched by the deaths of others in the process of carrying out the mission, including US military comrades and Iraqis. The deaths of these people caused him indelible. His impression, over time, affects his psychology and behavior.


    James faced an invisible enemy and fought a war that he didn''t know who to fight with, all of which made him a little at a loss. But the unique heroism complex of the Americans in his bones made him want to make everything better in front of him through his own efforts, because on this seemingly illusory battlefield, the casualties of his comrades were real.


    Let''s talk about this kind of heroism, when a person holds firm beliefs. When he has a clear sense of self, and shows courage and courage beyond ordinary people in his actions, people say that his behavior is heroic when he achieves feats that benefit the group.


    This is one of the positions of the film. Although the image of the US military in it is not tall, even as weak as the Iraqis, it is extremely positive. This may be different from the way "Transformers" shows the strength of the US military, but in essence, there is not much difference.


    Because they are all shaping the positive image of the US military.


    Of course, these are the basic standpoints of the film, and it is all ¡®reflection¡¯ wrapped around it.


    The film uses the method of documentary shooting. The dangling shoulder-mounted camera lens brings the real Iraqi battlefield, surrounded by feared American soldiers and ant-like Iraqis. In the war, everyone is weak.


    U.S. soldiers armed to the teeth are likely to board the "turf plane" at any time; Iraqi militants also easily fell to death under the guns of the U.S. military; not to mention the civilians, any small conflict between the two sides is enough to crush them.


    Perhaps it is indeed incapable of the big scenes of war films. Natalie obviously used more literary and casual narrative methods of the film, and through James¡¯ eyes, she showed each fragment, although there is no compact narrative and repeated heights. . Tide, but real suffocating.


    The bomb blaster who died at the beginning was Natalie showing the correct bomb disposal procedure to the audience. Through the demonstration of the formal procedure, he left a reference for James'' crazy ¡®personal heroism¡¯ behavior after he appeared on the stage.


    The death of the bomb killer was actually Natalie¡¯s opening remarks. She first broke the people¡¯s usual movie-watching mentality, and solemnly declared that everyone is weak in the face of war. There is no Steve Rogers on the real battlefield, let alone none. Rambo didn''t kill him dozens of times.


    In the death of the bounty hunter, the hunter¡¯s boss¡¯s appearance was extremely cool. Aside from the sturdy outfit, just the Barrett sniper in his hand can kill a large movie. According to the conventional movie thinking, this is another A superhero who can sweep all war movies without death.


    But a few minutes later, the leader of the hunter who pulled the wind was shot and killed by the Iraqis, and once again showed the audience the cruelty of war.


    In the subsequent death of the medical officer, the psychological medical officer in James''s army wanted to go out and give the bomb disposal team practical help, so he found the James team who was about to be on duty and asked for a mission together.


    Unfortunately, an earthy bomb killed the colonel.


    Still the same sentence, in the face of war, the official title and position are not the sign of death letting you go. After the colonel was killed, a soldier rushed over and shouted in pain, "I was still teaching him how to use the radio..."


    Life is gone if there is no life, even if the last minute is still bragging together.


    Natalie used the camera to tell the audience so coldly and ruthlessly-war, that''s it!


    In the death of''Beckham'', James completely mistakenly recognized the''Beckham'' who sold DVDs. He thought he knew Iraqis better than other Americans and could make friends with Iraqis. In fact, he and other people Americans are no different. They can''t even tell who is an Iraqi, even if it is an Iraqi who gets along with him day and night.


    Americans look at Iraqis, Iraqis look at Americans, Westerners look at Easterners, and Easterners look at Westerners. In fact, in everyone¡¯s eyes, people of the other race are the same, and it¡¯s difficult to distinguish clearly. This is the estrangement, this kind of leap. Racial estrangement, like a struggle between faith and ideology, will never disappear.


    Here, Natalie obviously changed the script, and what James said-Americans don''t know what Iraqis want, and Iraqis don''t bother to let Americans know what they want-I am afraid it is very good for this situation. Portrayal of.


    Under the war, children are the weakest to bear the brunt. Although''Beckham'' is still alive, the children lying there as corpse bombs are real.


    Although the whole film tends to be realistic and plain, there are also small climaxes such as the death of the "body bomb".


    An Iraqi took the initiative to ask the U.S. patrol for help, saying that a bomb was strapped to his body, but he did not want to make a "body bomb" and begged the U.S. military to save him.


    This is a time bomb, leaving only two minutes for James. James is racing against time to dismantle the bomb. According to the usual pattern of movies around the world, James will cut the red or blue line at the last second to rescue Iraqi civilians, and then soldiers and civilians will appear. The situation of the big party.


    However, the time did not reach the end, James did not choose the red line or the blue line, so he gave up bomb disposal, the Iraqis were blown into powder, James was overturned to the ground in the process of fleeing, Natalie again used cruel The ending shattered the extravagant expectations of the audience. This is war, and war is not about making movies.


    This situation shatters not only the hopes of the audience, but also the box office of the film. It is strange that such a cold film can sell well.


    The world did not welcome the American soldiers. When James evacuated, the Iraqi children followed the Hummer Jeep and threw stones, and James could not adapt to the life after returning to the country and returned to the battlefield in Iraq.


    These two fragments echo each other, and the war has become an unbreakable curse, which not only makes people irresistible, but also makes people unable to escape.


    In the hearts of the offspring of Iraq, the seeds of hatred have been planted and will germinate and bear fruit at any time in the years to come, while American soldiers have been deeply trapped in war and unable to adapt to a normal peaceful life, as if war had become the only meaning of their existence.


    Both parties are victims, there is no difference between strong and weak, both are driven by a spell called "war"...


    As a director, Natalie did not directly make moral judgments about war in the film did not use the cruelty of the war scenes to arouse the audience''s humanitarian sympathy, nor did she create dramatic scenes to satirize the reasons why the United States launched the war.


    Of course, she will not "stand" on the position of Iraq to view the current war from their point of view.


    Natalie has grasped the most important point very well. All the reflections in the film are based on the position of the United States, based on the most basic condition that the United States is the victor of the Iraq War.


    Just like "Saving Private Ryan", reflecting on the war is the privilege of the victor.


    When the war can obtain great benefits, they will attack fearlessly; when the justice of the war is in doubt, they still will not give up...


    In some respects, "The Hurt Locker" completely inherits the fine traditions of Hollywood war reflection films, fully conforms to the current social and political situation, conforms to the needs of mainstream values, and conforms to the requirements of Oscars who always express their political stance. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 824： Standing on the highest point of morality

    "During the war, the bomb disposal teams that require joint operations play an important role that is very critical but rarely mentioned. I just want more people to know the nature of their work."


    At a later press conference, Natalie became the reporter¡¯s main interview subject. The film¡¯s politically correct stance has been fully demonstrated, and she does not need to boast. She is very smart to focus on the so-called ¡°heroes¡±. Body.


    "Baghdad has been a terrifying and dangerous territory for so many years, but the bomb disposal team is facing a worse situation. On any given day, a bomb will explode in the city. As for the other 10 to 15 that have not been detonated, it is due to the success of these few bomb disposal experts who have been working in secret."


    "In fact, these people live in a deadly threat every day, and the story is full of tension, traditional style and dramatic conflict from beginning to end... In fact, starting from a metaphorical level, they are For the entire war, it symbolizes heroism."


    Just like Natalie said, in addition to "political correctness" and reflections on war, "The Hurt Locker" has shown positive performance of the US military almost everywhere.


    First of all, it¡¯s very flattering to use bomb disposal troopers in the U.S. Army as the target of performance. Bomb disposal troopers are not combat troops. There will not be a large number of scenes of exchanges of fire with locals in other films. Their bomb disposal missions are all to protect locals Life and property, and maintain local social stability.


    Therefore, the U.S. military does not appear in the film as an aggressor and an occupier, but as a protector and a savior, and the bomb disposal itself is a manifestation of the noble spirit of''sacrificing oneself for others'' and the fearless heroism. This film The image of the Chinese and US military has been sublimated, making it easier to gain understanding and recognition.


    The second is the portrayal of the actor James. Although the act of swearing not to give up without breaking the bomb seems a bit crazy, from another perspective, it can also be regarded as a manifestation of humanity''s ¡®good¡¯.


    Look at it from another angle. He is unwilling to take other safe detonation methods, rather risking his life to dismantle the bomb, or it can be interpreted as unwilling to see the bomb causing the slightest harm to the local people. The purpose of dismantling bombs from the Iraqi boy¡¯s body is to leave a whole body. It also shows the''compassion'' sentiments of the American soldiers. The use of physical danger to find the missing boy''s whereabouts shows that the US military is willing to make peace with the locals. Get along'' mentality.


    This can be said in propaganda¡ªall James¡¯ actions in the film, from the bomb disposal at the beginning to the pursuit of terrorists at the end, are saving others regardless of personal safety, which can be called the incarnation of heroism.


    Such a "brilliant image" is naturally what the mainstream ideology of the United States is willing to see. Willing to set an example.


    If such a film is spread to the whole world through the powerful platform of Oscars, it will undoubtedly be a public relations act with a significant effect in reshaping the image of the US military and the US government. Similarly, after the reflection and criticism trend of anti-terrorism films in the past few years, the United States The people are slowly restoring their trust in the government and their support and recognition of the war.


    The reappearance of the U.S. military in a positive image and the return of heroism in the film are also popular among Americans.


    After all, the Oscar is the Oscar of Hollywood and the Oscar of the United States. It is conceivable where its position will be biased.


    In fact, the war in Iraq and the war on terrorism are events that have a major impact on the lives of the United States. It¡¯s only a matter of time before a related theme film wins an Oscar. It¡¯s just that the previous related films are qualified for various reasons, and "The Hurt Locker" now appears at the right time and at the right place, again with a kind of "extremely correct." The posture of showing oneself.


    Subsequently. As a producer, George Clooney was also interviewed.


    He first praised the film and Natalie.


    "Every step of the production process of "The Hurt Locker", including directing, screenwriting, photography, music and editing, has been working towards the same goal from the very beginning, that is, we must improve the real touch of the film. Emphasize that it makes people The intensity of the tension, at the same time, can''t lose the sense of hierarchy of these complicated characters."


    "It''s obvious. Director Natalie Portman is a talented film director. She has a good grasp of how to use physical and psychological dangers to influence a character''s personality traits... So when I listened to her idea of ??the movie And when I learned that she invited me to join the production of the film, I was so excited that I almost jumped out of my chair."


    As a political activist, George Clooney will not forget to state his politically correct position.


    "Thanks to the American soldiers who risked their lives to perform missions in Afghanistan and other parts of the world at this moment, salute them, and hope they return safely."


    War films have always been an important part of Hollywood films, especially those that reflect World War II. Just like Ryan said, reflecting on or even questioning the war is entirely the privilege of the victor.


    The Second World War was a glorious moment for the United States. In this war of clear distinction between good and evil, the United States became the incarnation of justice and became a superpower through this war, standing on the pinnacle of the world, and leading the entire Western society. The US shooting World War II films naturally carries a strong sense of superiority and pride, full of heroic feelings of heroism, and has always stood at the commanding heights of morality and pointed the country.


    Today, the Iraq war and the anti-terrorist war have also had a huge impact on the United States, and this impact has brought rifts between the government and the people. Although it is far from the severity of the Vietnam War, Hollywood film and television works have an impact on the war. The negative performance has already appeared.


    "Body of Lies" and "Extradition Suspicion" questioned the U.S. counter-terrorism policy, "Decisive Battle of Elagu" and "House of Brave" directly describe the trauma caused by war to veterans and military members, "Excerpts Revised", "Refusal to Fight Again" "It is even holding high the banner of anti-war and directly attacking the federal government...


    Although these films did not become mainstream films occupying Hollywood, they have brought a certain influence.


    Now that the federal government is trying its best to restore the bad effects of the war on the people and restore the government¡¯s credibility, these "disharmonious" films are naturally not what the mainstream ideology wants to see, and "The Hurt Locker" is exactly what happened to these films. A completely different route. It looks like an "anti-war", but in fact it is "the main theme", which caters to the urgent needs of the mainstream society.


    Similarly, if you do not want to be marginalized by mainstream society, political correctness is the most basic position. In the face of such a film, even those professional film critics who do not deal with Ryan and Disney still have to sing praises.


    "A great movie and an ingenious movie, Natalie Portman explained clearly, let us know who is who, where they are, what they are doing and why they are doing that."


    Faced with a film of this nature, there is no need for Disney PR at all, and Roger Albert has played very well!


    "When the audience is finally able to get out of the thrilling co-pilot seat of "The Hurt Locker," they must be shaking, as if electrocuted, they are likely to eagerly want to watch it again."


    "Tension, bravery, and fear. This will be what people will learn from the Iraqi and US military in twenty years. This movie is a classic work by Natalie Portman. If any audience feels that the current relentless violence is Fantastically, this movie is strong evidence."


    "Natalie Portman has produced a first-class war film. A vivid and crisis-filled urban war takes place in Iraq. Most importantly, this is an instant classic movie that demonstrates a cruel heat and dusty. Laboratory warfare environment."


    Once the mainstream, now marginalized film critics have given a lot of points to the film. Although these people have no influence on mainstream Hollywood commercial films, they still have a little say and influence on the Oscars.


    Compared with these film critics, Disney''s media has launched a brainwashing propaganda war to the whole society.


    Former well-known film critic Todd McCarthy hosted the TV station''s movie recommendation column, which deeply analyzed Natalie''s directorial skills and gave it high praise.


    ""The Hurt Locker" has the value of recording, but the aesthetics of the whole film is not based on the documentary nature of the camera, not for''completely'' capturing the existence of the object, it is based on a certain psychologicalism, based on the people on the battlefield. How the war feels."


    "A huge number of ultra-short shots are used to compose a movie There must be a certain editing logic between the shots. In some cases, the shots imitate the eyes of the bomb disposal team. At times, other team members must pay close attention to the changes in the surrounding environment, and their eyes must always change and move quickly. Behind such a lens reflects the psychological state of the characters on the battlefield."


    "Director Portman extended this shot to the entire movie, not only during the bomb disposal process, when the players were resting in the barracks, and even when James played football with the Iraqi kid selling DVDs, he also used this kind of height change. Short shot."


    "The psychological effect of such an application is amazing, and the tension on the battlefield has receded to the second place. Director Natalie Portman used such shots and editing to imply the psychological abnormality of the characters. They cannot be normal. The way they look at things in their entirety, their attention is forced to constantly shift and distract, everything is fragmented, discontinuous, and they cannot have a sense of the whole surrounding existence..."


    In the end, Todd McCarthy said in conclusion, ¡°A good movie requires the form and content to be fully integrated and perfectly serve the theme. I think Director Portman has achieved this almost perfectly in "The Hurt Locker." One point. (To be continued..)

 Chapter 825： The attraction of fame and fortune

    According to the general understanding, a film with such an overwhelming reputation should also be sold at the box office. However, since the 1990s, the professional reputation of the film and the box office number have become two different things with little connection. The high-cold theme produced specifically to cater to the Oscars, "Military", is indeed not very popular with ordinary audiences.


    The film was screened in North America with poor four theaters, and it got a box office of US$145,352 in the first three days of the week, and the box office of a single library exceeded US$30,000.


    This number seems pretty good, but most theaters in North America that specialize in literary and artistic films are large theaters that can accommodate more than 500 people, and Natalie¡¯s last film, "Black Swan," is in North America on a larger scale. Opened the painting, but got a score of more than 90,000 US dollars in a single library. From this perspective, the box office performance of "The Hurt Locker" is destined to be scumbag.


    By the second weekend, the scale of "The Hurt Locker" was expanded to 60 theaters, and the box office of the single theater quickly fell to about $10,000. In the three days this weekend, only a little more than $620,000 was collected from North America.


    This can be said to be the greatest sorrow of Chong''ao films. If you want to recover your investment, you can rely on a long time to accumulate.


    After two weeks of observing the box office trend, Disney and Miramax also roughly estimated the final North American box office number of the film-between 15 million and 20 million US dollars.


    Want to count on the box office to get the investment back, Disney and Miramax can die of this heart.


    "What else do I need to do?" Natalie asked Ryan.


    Filling Natalie''s cup with black tea, Ryan leaned back on the solo sofa and looked opposite, "Alison, don''t you claim to have a good PR experience? You can talk about it."


    "of course."


    Tyler put down the file he was looking through, smoothed the curly hair of Honey Gold to the back of his head, and said unhurriedly, "Nat. I''m going to be your teacher."


    "Dear."


    Picking up an orange from the fruit plate on the coffee table, Natalie threw it over, "You can say it."


    "Thank you."


    Taking the orange, Tyler threw it to Ryan again, "This is the beginning."


    "The biggest taboo when competing for awards is to have high self-esteem. Don''t say how high-end your movies are. You must show confidence, amiability and modesty throughout the entire process. This will most favor the members of the academy."


    Ryan and Natalie were unmoved, basically everyone in the circle knew about this.


    "Also attend various parties and events in Los Angeles frequently to increase your exposure." Taylor continued. "Although we have an absolute advantage, we must brush our face and our sense of presence."


    For Natalie, there is no difficulty, she lives in Los Angeles.


    This can also be regarded as one of the basic conditions for wanting to win awards. Movie stars from other places tend to temporarily settle in Los Angeles during the awards season. For example, in the past few years, everyone thought that Daniel Day Lewis would win the best actor. His advantage is indeed. It''s also very big, but even if it''s withdrawn, it''s almost inferior to Hollywood. The gangster still moved to Los Angeles during the awards season and attended various awards ceremonies to show his competition and desire for awards. Only then can he win the award smoothly.


    "In addition, we have to prevent others from splashing black water."


    Speaking of which. Taylor looked at Ryan, "Although few people are willing to take the risk of his anger to do so, they have to guard against it. After all, the lure of this award is too great."


    "Leave it to me." Ryan took the initiative.


    If you say that relying on your own sales and efforts to brush your face can be regarded as a conscientious competition. Then no public relations will admit that they have done the method-to pour dirty water on the opponent, this can be regarded as a frequent occurrence in the Oscar competition in recent years, and there are many victims among them.


    Although few people in this world dare to directly challenge Disney''s films in this way. But Ryan has seen quite a few rumors in his previous life.


    For example, Eric Patterson, a member of the academy, published a book revealing the secret in 2008, saying that the best film journey of "Brokeback Mountain" was destroyed by two senior filmmakers Tony Curtis and Ernst Bognier. , The two told the audience on Fox News-we don¡¯t want to see this kind of **** cowboy story. I believe that if Howard Hughes and John Wayne were still alive, we would definitely not watch this kind of movie. "


    Although this is not the main reason for the failure of Brokeback Mountain, it definitely affected the result to a certain extent.


    There is also the battle between "The Hurt Locker" and "Avatar" in the previous life.


    Although James Cameron has almost no interest in competing with his ex-wife for the best director, the two producers frequently make insidious tricks in order to compete for the best film.


    Megan Ellison, the producer of "The Hurt Locker," regardless of the risk of violations, wrote canvassing emails to a large number of members of the academy, calling them not to vote for "Avatar"-our industry needs to give "The Hurt Locker" such a small cost The movie is definitely not a blockbuster that gives billions of dollars at the global box office.


    At the same time, the media has circulated a large number of reports about the untrue combat methods of the soldiers in "The Hurt Locker". Although Fox in the 20th century never admitted that this was their material, discerning people know who is making trouble.


    Also, in the last Oscars he saw in his previous life, Woody Allen¡¯s ex-wife Mia Farrow and his son Ronan Farrow revisited the media in the media, saying that Woody Allen was awful many years ago. .Xemia? Farrow¡¯s daughter, why did the old things that had been concluded decades ago suddenly make a lot of noise?


    Never underestimate the appeal of fame and fortune!


    Ryan has always kept this in mind, and his public relations team will not relax during the awards season.


    "Then there are targeted public relations goals." Taylor picked up the document that I had just looked at. "I have the latest statistics here. The percentage of whites in the college is 95%, and the proportion of men is 100. Eighty-one per cent, no more than 11% of the members under the age of 50, and the average age of the members of the college is 64 years old."


    She curled her lips and said helplessly, "This is the crowd that decides the Oscar nominations and awards. In other words, the old men in the academy are the main decision makers of the Oscar results."


    "They are the targets we have to find ways to win over."


    "My dear." Ryan peeled the orange and gave it to Taylor and Natalie. "Your analysis is correct."


    "I heard that in addition to our public relations team," Taylor threw a piece of orange into his mouth, "Harvey also hired Lisa Tabek for Nat''s public relations?"


    "This is the case." Ryan nodded, "It''s true that we have an absolute advantage, but we can''t tolerate any relaxation."


    At present, the most prestigious public relations for the awards season in Hollywood is Lisa Tabek, and her previous position was the head of the public relations department of Miramax Films. She used a series of methods to help Miramax make "In Love" "Shakespeare" defeated "Saving Private Ryan" and won the Oscar for Best Picture of the year, creating the biggest "injustice" in the history of the Oscar awards in the last 20 years in the eyes of fans. It is one of Lisa Tabek''s most typical achievements. .


    She used to be Harvey Weinstein''s right-hand and direct executor in public relations.


    Although she later founded a public relations company, the Weinstein brothers she has collaborated most with. She and her team have helped Miramax Films win nearly 30 Oscar nominations in the past few years.


    Lisa Tabek and her public relations company can be regarded as Ryan''s additional insurance for next year''s Oscars. After all, what he is going to do is a record-breaking thing.


    For the old and conservative Oscars, change is sometimes the most difficult choice, and they must be strengthened to persuade them.


    Afterwards, public relations parties and pull-up sessions, Ryan completely handed over to Natalie and her public relations team, and Mrs. Shelly also flew to Los Angeles again. Although she was extremely dissatisfied with her daughter, Natalie was her only one. daughter.


    Under Ryan¡¯s instruction, the 100,000 luxury CDs prepared by Disney were sent to the academy judges and all Oscar-related people early. Accompanied by the CDs, there were also Disney¡¯s elaborate "Huller" version of the car hanging. Ornaments and keychains, these don''t seem to be valuable, but they are unique versions.


    Of course, small gifts like champagne, flowers, souvenirs, etc., are emerging in endlessly.


    Even so, there is no guarantee that those judges who like to vote with their feet like Ryan will actually watch "The Hurt Locker".


    In this matter, Lisa Tabek and her public relations company played a role.


    Lisa is the first person to use the "" method in Hollywood. Lisa and her team will call the members of the academy almost every day, "Have you seen the DVDs of "The Hurt Locker" I sent you? Are you serious? Take a look, this one is really good."


    After confirming that the members of the academy have watched the movie, Lisa will continue to call bombing again, "Everyone thinks this movie is particularly good, don''t you think Natalie Portman deserves an Oscar?"


    In addition, UU Reading Harvey Weinstein also invited the public relations manager who served as the presidential election of Ohei Tan to coordinate the public relations matters of Miramax, and sent an email to Disney for "The Hurt Locker" Outside the media, there are all kinds of stories about how well Natalie is directed, how talented she is usually, etc., in order to''brainwash'' the members of the academy through the media.


    Not to mention, Miramax Films even invited Charlie Chaplin''s two granddaughters to host a party to entertain the industry to convey to the industry how good the film is.


    At the same time, Ryan is also taking action here. He invited George Lucas, James Cameron and Steven Spielberg to host a big party together to entertain many directors, movie stars and producers to create momentum for the film. , And at the same time invited Summer Redstone, Rupert Murdoch, Don Logan and other people who have the right to speak in the media to watch the movie.


    It is completely different from the low box office, the publicity of "The Hurt Locker" is amazing, and even the exposure in the media is almost comparable to that of "Avatar".


    The latter has entered the final preparation period and is about to land in major theaters around the world. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 826： The cry before shattering

    An original story about unknown alien life without a big-name star, and is not a sequel to any movie, with a price tag of up to 550 million US dollars. Can a movie make money?


    Even with the success of "Titanic" ahead, the industry and the media are skeptical about whether such a large investment can get a return in the market.


    Perhaps looking at Hollywood, the only people who are truly confident are Ryan and James Cameron, as well as Disney''s management.


    The confidence of Disney management is not without reason.


    Before the filming started, James Cameron signed a cost and sharing agreement with Disney. If the production cost exceeds US$280 billion, Cameron must first give up most of his profit share; if the film With a global box office of less than US$1 billion, he will only get a basic director''s compensation of US$20 million.


    James Cameron and Disney also developed a brand new digital photography system for this movie, and the patent for this photography system is jointly owned by both parties. At present, many crews have taken aim at this set of equipment. Up to now, the patent authorization and equipment rental, this set of equipment has brought 14 million US dollars in revenue for both parties.


    The later stage of "Avatar" was completed by New Zealand''s well-known Weta Digital Studio, so it also met the New Zealand tax rebate conditions, and Disney saved a lot of money from it.


    Excluding the US$250 million in production costs, Disney¡¯s main investment in this movie is still US$300 million in marketing!


    Of course, this figure is only for planning and external publicity, in fact, it must be discounted.


    As a result, the global economic downturn has reduced advertising costs.


    Secondly, Disney uses the company''s internal resources to spend the least money to achieve the best results. Recently, TV stations, espn, Disney Channel and a+e television network have all opened special festivals during prime time and are currently broadcasting the trailer of "Avatar". Websites such as Twitter and Facebook have also opened pages to promote "Avatar".


    Most of these advertising expenditures flow within Disney, and the actual consumption figures are far less than planned.


    In addition. Disney also cooperated with James Cameron and Panasonic to develop a set of Panasonic''s 3D home theater system. They provide free technical support for movies and bundled the promotion of "Avatar" in the company''s home theater marketing.


    This alone has saved Disney US$25 million in publicity funds.


    Therefore, Disney¡¯s expenditure on publicity will most likely not exceed US$200 million in the end.


    Speaking of which, these are not too secret things. As long as people in the industry analyze them carefully, they can draw similar conclusions. But to the film critics of Higurashi Nishiyama, these are not important at all. As long as they see the total investment of 550 million U.S. dollars, these guys are as if they were robbed by Disney, gritted their teeth with hatred.


    Of course, they do have reasons to hate. After all, among all the major Hollywood companies, Disney is the first company that really touches the interests of film critics in the industry.


    Five hundred and fifty million dollars, even if it is a discount. Even for a large group like Disney with a market value of close to US$90 billion, if it really loses money, it will vomit blood and even trigger a series of chain reactions.


    Don''t talk about other things. The volatility in the stock market alone will cause Disney to suffer huge losses.


    After so many years and so long, North American film critics finally saw an opportunity to fight back against Ryan Jenkins. The one who completely smashed their cakes and their gloomy income. Definitely the person they hate the most.


    "It is said that this project is the result of Ryan Jenkins'' efforts."


    Sitting by the phone, Roger Albert was writing and drawing on paper, while his assistant was on the phone and relayed his opinion to his colleague David Denby who lives in New York in time, "If "Avatar" fails , He is bound to be responsible for this project, and may even lose the position of chairman and creative director of Disney."


    "This is our chance!"


    Roger Albert¡¯s pen almost pierced the paper. He now regrets the praise given to that boy in the early and mid-nineties. If he knew that there would be today, he would definitely unite all the film critics and ruin the original thinness. Boy!


    Even if he knew that this might not be a big deal, after all, after entering the 1990s, their influence on commercial films was very small, and Hollywood producers were not allowed to destroy their gold-making machines, but he still wanted to turn back the clock. , I want to try, because the other party gave him a taste of coldness that he had never had before.


    The assistant hung up the phone with David Denby, and according to Roger Albert''s instructions, he dialed jr Jones, David Edelstein, Joe Morgenstein, and Ren¨¦ Edelstein one by one. Calls from famous film critics such as Rodriguez and Kenneth Turan.


    Most people responded to his call, but Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times refused.


    This is not too surprising. Now that film critics have been kicked out by their respective contracted media, Kenneth Turan is still able to cooperate with the Los Angeles Times, and he might get the support of someone behind him.


    There was a knock on the door, and Roger Albert''s new agent strode in and said to him, "The other party has already transferred 2.5 million dollars to the account."


    Nodding lightly, Roger Albert wrote to tell them that we will make an attacking comment soon!


    Disney¡¯s promotion of "Avatar" has been very smooth. Although many media are questioning whether the film can recover its huge investment, the 16-minute clips released are indeed excellent. Not many people doubt the quality of the film. Ryan and James Came Long is almost a guarantee of quality. Instead, many media are commenting. If the film can guarantee the quality of the sixteen minutes, it is impossible to say that "Avatar" can really work a miracle.


    Entering mid-December, it is getting closer and closer to the simultaneous global release of "Avatar" on December 19th. Many traditional media and large-scale websites have suddenly heard the voices of some former well-known film critics. Recently, they have almost no voice. The group of people unanimously aimed at "Avatar".


    Disney has a huge influence in the media industry, but it cannot control the media, nor can any media group in North America do this.


    The voice of "Avatar" was suddenly loud.


    "From the images that have been shown, "Avatar" is nothing new except for the technology."


    "This is a typical movie scam, "Avatar" will shatter Ryan Jenkins-style movie myths."


    "I am too ambitious and too excited. It is enough for us to have works like "Shawshank''s Redemption". Why should "Avatar" be 3D? It is not for the audience''s money!"


    "The 3D movie advocated by Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron is for naked commercial interests. They only care about the audience''s pockets and never care about the audience''s feelings!"


    An industry seems to be struggling hard, trying to make the loudest sound before it collapses.


    The leader of their industry, the convener of this action, and the most famous film critic Roger Albert in the United States is no exception.


    "I ask everyone to think about it seriously. Is 3d movies really necessary? What do you think after watching 3d movies? What kind of insights will it bring you? 3d movies will actually only bring fatigue and make you feel tired. The brain and glasses are exhausted, because every frame of the 3D movie shows us something that is not necessary at all!"


    Although he has not paid much attention to the professional film critic group, the other party seems to have a great momentum this time. Ryan still saw some related comments. He was a little surprised that Disney really could not influence all the media, just because it could not bring With enough attention, most of the small-scale media almost cancelled the cooperation with film critics.


    Now, their voices are so loud, what''s the situation?


    "George..." Ryan subconsciously felt that things would not be so simple, and dialed the phone on the desk. "Recently, the film critics reacted a bit strangely. Let me check."


    A few minutes after he took the call, George called back. "Ryan, Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times called Robert just now, and he said this was a unity called by Roger Albert. action."


    Roger Albert? Ryan couldn''t help frowning.


    This film critic used to have a very high status, but for a behemoth like Walt Disney, it is not worth mentioning. When attacking "Transformers", Disney also taught him enough lessons. Isn''t he yet Learn smarter, or are you really confused?


    Even if the other party lost his mouth, Ryan didn''t think he would become confused. Since he dared to stand up and challenge Disney again, he must have a certain degree of confidence, and where does this confidence come from?


    After dialing the secretary''s phone, Ryan asked her to quickly compile a list of media who spoke for film critics. These media have print media and websites, but they do not have a unified label. They are scattered under various media companies in the United States ~ www.novelhall. com~ There are even several websites with shares in his foundation.


    These media in the industry are basically the type that takes people money and does things for others.


    Film critics will attack "Avatar". Ryan is not surprised. He and Disney not only touched their cakes, but even smashed the glamour of the industry, which directly led to the decline of their group. If they were placed on the other side of the Pacific, then It is simply a deep hatred of killing his father and stealing his wife.


    But the other party''s voice is so loud, there must be someone behind it.


    Who are those people? Ryan thought of this for the first time, and then shook his head.


    The other five major film companies in Hollywood can all be the target of suspicion. If "Avatar" is a big hit, their films released at the same time will inevitably hit the rocks. Who is the most directly facing the big production of "Avatar"?


    "Alvin and the Chipmunks 2" by Twentieth Century Fox! (To be continued...)

 Chapter 827： Can individuals really change the world?

    Century City on the west side of Beverly Hills, like the media capital of Burbank, is a world-renowned entertainment industry center. In addition to caa, an innovative artist company that occupies half of Hollywood, it is the headquarters of 20th Century Fox Also located here. (


    Night has fallen, and the dappled starlight is isolated from the window by the dazzling light in the office. At the luxurious desk, two middle-aged men are sitting opposite each other, one of them is silent, the other is holding the phone and talking, occasionally He will nod in agreement. Even on the phone, he still maintains enough respect for the person on the other end of the phone.


    The caller was Tom Rothman, co-chairman and CEO of Twentieth Century Fox.


    A few minutes later, he put down the phone, and the person opposite immediately asked, "Tom, what Mr. Murdoch meant..."


    "Increase the hype and attack on "Avatar"." Tom Rothman''s words were slow, but very clear. "Attract the main energy of Ryan Jenkins and Disney to this aspect as much as possible, and we will speed up with Luca. Before they reacted, they tried to win Lucas Pictures."


    "If he and Disney..." The other person was obviously worried. "George Lucas has friendship with him."


    "What kind of friendship will play a role in the acquisition of more than 3 billion US dollars?" Tom Rosman said the most obvious reason, and then continued, "We can''t give up the Star Wars series, and the head office can''t let it go. It is impossible for Mr. Rupert Murdoch to see this series that should belong to the interests of Twentieth Century Fox and be taken away by Walt Disney."


    He emphasized, "Don''t forget, more than ten years ago, he already took away our "X-Men" series!"


    Although Surprise is the copyright that was repurchased with real money, and even though it was a business you wished at the time, how could the huge success of the "X-Men" series prevent people from having some other ideas.


    That said, though. But both Tom Rothman¡¯s faces are not good-looking, or even too serious. They understand what it means to be prepared. In the 20th century, Fox is challenging a mountain that covers the entire Hollywood. Even a little carelessness may cause news. The war between the group and Walt Disney.


    "Ryan has never been a person who would give up on his own initiative." The person opposite seemed to remind Tom Rothman, and seemed to remind himself, "We all know what kind of person he is!"


    "We! Twentieth Century Fox and News Corp!" ??Tom Rothman knocked off the table hard, and strengthened his tone, "Never give up the Star Wars series. Although we have some copyrights, the most profitable peripheral is in Lu In the hands of Cass Films, in the past 30 years, Lucas Films has used peripherals to create 28 billion US dollars in revenue!"


    What hidden alliance, what personal relationship, in front of such a huge number, is just a fragile white paper.


    "As for Ryan..." Tom Rothman thought for a while, but still leaked a little, "The group company and Mr. Rupert Murdoch will formulate corresponding measures to force him to give up."


    "That''s the best." The person on the other side was obviously relieved.


    "and also!"


    Tom Rothman emphasized, "I will personally form a negotiation team with Lucasfilm. This matter is kept as confidential as possible. Don¡¯t forget that Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman are also shareholders of Twentieth Century Fox. Although the shares in the hand are limited, we must prevent anyone from leaking the news to them."


    "I understand." The man stood up and walked outside the office.


    Tom Rothman sat in a chair, silently watching the other person walk out of his office. There is still no relaxation on his face, and the media industry in Hollywood and even the entire United States is likely to start a war without gunsmoke, even if he has the full support of News Corporation and Rupert Murdoch. Standing in the dark again, but not sure.


    Just because his opponent is called Ryan Jenkins!


    Of course, everyone has weaknesses, and Ryan Jenkins has a lot of places for people to attack. He knows this very well, so he will support the decision of the head office.


    For example, if "Avatar" really fails as hoped, Ryan Jenkins'' status at Disney will definitely be affected, and Disney will also encounter a lot of trouble, so that even if the other party detects in advance, the obstacles encountered by 20th Century Fox will be reduced. Many, it may be easy to achieve the goal of the head office.


    What''s more, Twentieth Century Fox''s "Elwyn and the Chipmunk 2" was released just a week after "Avatar". Even though the audiences of the two are somewhat different, the ratings of "Avatar" pg-13 and the already displayed images are very It is suitable for people over ten years old. If it is a big hit, "Alwin and the Chipmunk 2" is bound to be impacted.


    People can''t always succeed, right? Even if those people are called Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron!


    Sitting quietly in the chair, Tom Rothman didn¡¯t mean to leave the company. He turned his head and looked out the window. This window is facing Hollywood in the traditional sense. At this time, the premiere of "Avatar" Is it already in progress?


    News Corporation secretly instigated so many film critics, I hope it can cause some bad effects on the film...


    Although thinking so in his mind, Tom Rothman still thinks in his heart that the group company has made a faint move. The group company¡¯s management is far from Hollywood and the film circle, and seriously overestimated the declining industry of film critics. Those people are right. The cognition of movies has even stayed ten years ago.


    This is the biggest difference between News Corporation and Walt Disney. The film and television industry is one of Disney''s core industries, but it is only an important part of News Corporation.


    in case¡­¡­


    Tom Rothman was suddenly a little scared and a little excited. If the two major media groups can compete...


    He has no doubt about this. Ryan Jenkins''s character determines that he will never give in.


    Standing up and walking to the window, Tom Rothman looked into the distance, where is the Kodak Theater, where "Avatar" premiered.


    The Kodak Theater is crowded with people. The scale and excitement of the premiere are no less inferior to the Oscars. Hundreds of famous Hollywood figures have entered the theater. It seems that like ordinary audiences, Hollywood stars also want to be as fast as possible Watch this first giant system in history.


    "Can one person really change the whole world? At least from James Cameron, the answer we got is yes."


    In the interview area, Ryan and James Cameron are standing together, "Because of this "Avatar", the entire industry will be upgraded to an unprecedented height!"


    He and James Cameron are like cooperating partners for many years, working hard to promote the film. They are not worried that they will end up as a laughing stock. The quality of the film is a source of confidence.


    Although during this period of time before the release of "Avatar", some strange encounters were indiscriminately bombarded by film critics, but it did not cause too much negative impact on the publicity. After all, that group has indeed declined.


    Even if he had some guesses in his mind, Ryan didn''t care too much. The fans were much louder than the critics.


    Very, very many fans have spontaneously complained for "Avatar" on traditional media and the Internet.


    "Looking back at Cameron¡¯s filming history, starting from "The Abyss", to "Terminator 2", and then to "Titanic", the investment amount of blockbuster films has been updated repeatedly, and a large number of film critics think that it will A fiasco at the box office and so on."


    "The most typical is "Titanic". At the time, film critics said that Ryan and Cameron were the biggest fools in the world. "Titanic" would be the biggest box office disaster of this century... But after the film was released, these people The collective dumb mouth, the box office of the film ruthlessly shattered their last face, and it also made people fully realize that professional film critics are actually nothing."


    "Everyone knows that Cameron is a money-burning machine, but people just have the ability to double the investment money back, and even if they put their own film rewards in, they must make the most perfect effect in their minds! So, The majority of movie fans, there is no need to listen to the outdated film critics chirping, just keep their faith in Ryan and James Cameron, and wait for the "Avatar" to hit the box office once again!"


    These words that continue to appear in the media completely reflect the aspirations of the most extensive movie-watching community towards "Avatar".


    When he walked to the poster and took a group photo, Ryan saw an interesting scene. Susie Amis and Catherine Biroge were standing next to Cameron, taking pictures with the truck driver without any complaints.


    For ex-husbands and ex-boyfriends in Hollywood, this couldn''t be more common. This circle is so big, especially the top few floors. There are always those people going back and forth, and they often meet in public.


    Ryan is not familiar with Catherine Bilogue, who is in the movie circle, but they nodded each other and walked into the theater with the crew.


    The main hall of the Kodak Theater has long been transformed into an imax cinema by imax, and imax has placed more expectations on "Avatar" I hope this super giant system can quickly spread after "Transformers" The global imax3d craze has completely reached its peak.


    Sitting in his seat, Ryan didn¡¯t wait long before the film kicked off. Apart from the subtle changes, this film is roughly the same as the one he had seen before. The film is definitely technically a film. This is a huge breakthrough, and the story and plot are still thin, which makes people like Ryan feel helpless.


    No matter what meaning James Cameron gave to Namei, in the hearts of people like Ryan, being a human is much better than doing other messy things.


    As for the picture and technology of the film, it is not what words can describe at all. Even if the thick and gorgeous rhetoric is piled up, it is not enough to describe the Pandora planet shown in the film.


    Having said that, when watching a movie, few people want the protagonist to hang up. After all, that¡¯s where his substitution is. But even if Ryan has watched the sample and sat here watching the actor, he still desperately hopes that he will be The human mech is killed. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 828： Bad start

    The hand of the clock was already past midnight, and the office in Century City was still brightly lit. Tom Rothman was lying on the big bed in the suite. He was tossing and turning, and it was difficult to fall asleep. His cerebral cortex was still immersed in both worry and In the excitement, I was still thinking about "Avatar" at the same time.


    If "Avatar" staged a box office tragedy, the subsequent questions would be relatively simpler.


    After sitting in the position of co-chairman and chief executive officer of Twentieth Century Fox, Tom Rothman seldom pays too much attention to the box office of a film, except for giant productions like "Avatar."


    Because behind this film is a man named Ryan Jenkins, a wizard who has never existed in the entire history of Hollywood, it is not too much to describe it as a legend.


    I don¡¯t know how long it took before Tom Rothman gradually fell asleep, and when he was going to sleep in a daze, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, and he immediately sat up.


    "The statistics are out?"


    Opening the door of the suite, Tom Rothman snatched the file in the hands of the secretary directly. After seeing the numbers above, even if he was as calm as him, he couldn''t help but feel a burst of joy in his heart. Did his idea really come true? The two people who have never missed a business masterpiece in the past are really going to encounter Waterloo?


    At the moment of relaxation, Tom Rothman''s hands shook slightly, and the midnight box office of "Avatar" was a complete mess.


    $3.75 million!


    This is the total midnight box office of "Avatar" in 3452 theaters in North America. For a science fiction movie with no prequel, no original, no star star, and the story lacks audience recognition, this achievement is not easy.


    but!


    According to the past box office records of Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron, and the audience''s expectations for this "most expensive movie in history", this number is very unsatisfactory.


    A faint, relaxed smile hung on the corner of Tom Rothman''s mouth.


    At the same time, Roger Albert sits in a wheelchair in a mansion in distant Chicago. Carefully watched the documents in his hand over and over again, and completely confirmed the figure of 3.75 million US dollars. Although there was no half of his mouth, even if he could not speak, it could not prevent the expression of joy on his face.


    In the next moment, joy turned into a kind of vent of passion, making his non-human face even more hideous.


    "Avatar"! Ryan Jenkins! Such a poor box office at the midnight show is enough to prove that the audience is tired of it. Can you still make a comeback?


    The heavy snow fell like goose feathers, dyeing the Big Apple New York white. The thick snow and cold weather make people prefer to stay at home bored rather than go out hastily.


    Sitting in front of the window of the rented apartment in the Upper East Side, enjoying the snow scene comfortably, David Denby drank the whiskey in his glass. It has been a long time since he was as happy as he is now.


    3.75 million, a really happy number.


    Who says film critics are down? Who said that our influence is not as good as before? Who said we can''t influence the box office of commercial films?


    Then take a look at the midnight box office of "Avatar", which is known as the largest film in history, under the attack of our film critics. Only got a midnight box office of 3.75 million US dollars.


    For Ryan Jenkins, this is definitely a shameful figure!


    David Denby put on a happy smile. What could be more happy than seeing the person he hates the most and the bad luck of his worst enemy?


    Please continue to perpetuate this stigma, all America... No. Audiences all over the world, improve your taste a little, and join us to humiliate Ryan Jenkins!


    Thinking of this, David Denby put on thick winter clothes. After walking out of the house, he wanted to feel the heavy snow that enveloped the eastern part of the United States firsthand.


    It is no exaggeration to say that this is a snow disaster. If you change to the past, David Denby will definitely publish an article in his column, calling on the merciful God to make the snow smaller, government departments to act more quickly, and rescue organizations to be more powerful to help the homeless. More people...


    But now, he just wants to make the blizzard more violent, so violent that everyone can''t go out, because that means that on the entire east coast, "Avatar" will be no one cares about!


    The falling snow fell on David Denby''s face, but the cold feeling could not suppress the excitement in his heart. For him, this was hope, and the film critics hope to prove themselves and return to the mainstream again!


    Be sure to step on "Avatar" into the snow on the ground!


    Entering the garage, he started the car and drove towards the nearest imax cinema.


    Even though he was full of joy, David Denby had to sadly admit another fact that they used to watch movies free of charge, free of cost, and gifts and bonuses, but now they can only pay for tickets obediently and contribute to the film. A box office figure.


    This winter, severe weather conditions such as heavy snow, low temperature and snow accumulation on the east coast of North America have severely affected people''s travel.


    In contrast, Malibu is still warm.


    "Don''t move, Dad!"


    Carrying a water gun, Sandy turned to a palm tree and shouted to Ryan who was hiding here, "Otherwise I will shoot..."


    "Sanny, bring him here!"


    Taylor''s voice came from outside the palm grove, "Otherwise the villain will run away."


    "Dad..." Sandy wrinkled her little erect nose and said crisply, "Hurry up, or sister will do it herself."


    "Well, my dear." Ryan raised his hand and walked obediently out of the woods. "You won."


    "How can you give up?"


    Carrying a water gun, Taylor walked over and winked at Sandy, "You should fight to the end."


    "Yeah~" Sandy nodded his head.


    "Sanny, don''t listen to Taylor."


    Suddenly another crisp voice sounded, and Lily Moxin, who was more than ten years old, ran in from outside, "She always makes some bad ideas."


    "Lily..." Taylor grinds her teeth at her.


    "Godfather..." Lily was no longer the three-inch peas, and immediately hid behind Ryan, looking at the youngest one, "Sanny, we are in a group, right?"


    Ryan turned around and looked at his daughter.


    Sandy looked at Lily, then at Tyler, scratching his face, seemingly embarrassed.


    "My dears..." Nicole''s voice sounded in the garden, "It''s time for lunch."


    "Oh, God." Lily Moxin looked up at the sky, "I''m going to eat Pacman again, I hate Pacman!"


    The sun was shining in the garden, and the sea breeze could hardly be felt. Even in December, it was still warm as before. Nicole put the lunch on the oak table in the garden. Except for Sandy who needs her and Elsa to take care of, the rest People don¡¯t eat a lot.


    Although she has complaints about beans, Lily Mo Xin still eats with relish. In these years, Kate Beckinsale will basically send her to this place as long as she is out on location. She is already used to Nicole''s recipes and eating beans. The peculiar theory of growing taller.


    Nicole''s best words are undoubtedly Ryan and herself.


    "James just called."


    Nicole quickly put down the knife and fork, "He was a little worried."


    "Midnight box office?"


    Tyler, who was sitting across from Nicole, immediately interrupted, "The $3.75 million is really too low. I''m worried about the movie''s box office."


    "The heavy snow that started yesterday has affected the number of viewers in the midnight scene. The heavy snow made many fans choose to stay at home." Ryan was not worried at all. "I think you must be the same as everyone else, ignoring the other Thing."


    "What''s the matter?" Taylor looked at this side curiously.


    "All the screens in the midnight scene," Ryan said unhurriedly, "all are 2d screens."


    "But..." Taylor''s eyes rolled, "Robert called just now, and the attendance rate so far today is not very high."


    With the help of the popularity of the Internet, the attendance rate and box office of movies are now very intuitive, and it will even be reflected in statistical companies and distribution companies soon.


    "What are you worried about?" Ryan looked at Nicole and Taylor and made a relieved gesture, "Avatar will never be Disney''s Waterloo."


    "I believe in the godfather." Lily was the first to speak in support. Sandy didn''t understand what was going on, but she also raised her little hand, "I support Dad! I support Mommy!"


    "Hey, dear." Taylor tapped the table lightly. "Which side do you support?"


    "I support dad and mommy..." the little guy said naturally.


    Trapped by the length of the movie and the highly competitive theater schedule, the first day box office of "Avatar" did not show the explosive opening of the scene like "The Hunger Games" and "Transformers," especially the 2d version of the theater. The biggest advantage of the film was not shown at all, which led to the 3d popularity and the mediocre 2d performance. On the first day, it only got 26.75 million US dollars in the box office in 3452 theaters.


    Among them, 3d and imax contributed 85 percent of them.


    This first-day box office performance is now in North America, and it is not even in the top ten. Compared with the film''s external publicity cost of US$550 million, it is not enough to watch.


    In addition, the harsh external environment also has a certain impact on the film''s box office.


    The heavy snow in the eastern United States and the heavy snow in European countries caused some people who wanted to watch the movie to stay at home, which affected the box office performance of "Avatar".


    Looking at the 109 other countries and regions that are simultaneously released globally, the first day box office of "Avatar" does not seem to be particularly satisfactory, with only $ 125.75 million in the world.


    "Avatar is Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron''s Waterloo?"


    Unsurprisingly, "Avatar" did not show the strong momentum of the super masterpiece on the first day, and immediately attracted a lot of media doubts, and even those groups who had been waiting for a long time and deliberately began to attack and criticize the film. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 829： Turn around

    "The most expensive movie in history = the biggest box office tragedy in history!"


    On the second day of "Avatar" officially landed in North America, film critics couldn''t wait to shout such slogans, which proves how urgent and eager for these people to invest in Ryan''s film to be over, and by the way, he is also unlucky.


    "Since "Titanic", the special effects and large investment industrialization model advocated by Ryan Jenkins has brought too much visual garbage. "Avatar" can be described as a work of the two to the extreme, it will only arouse the audience If you don¡¯t want your ears to scream and your eyes to cry after watching the film, it¡¯s better not to watch this film. It is simply overdrafting human vision and hearing!"


    Without any accident, as the initiator and convener of the "Avatar" operation, Roger Albert took the lead.


    "If you are full of expectations for people and things you can''t grasp, you will eventually fail to a similar degree, and our super imagination of "Avatar" is also the same."


    "After watching the movie, after a long time bombardment of stereo vision, those so-called whimsical ideas become blank with the disappearance of the image. Except for some sensory stimulation, the story, themes, characters, and even some pleasing pictures are all familiar. The huge investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is just a mix and match of various successful commercial blockbusters, without any memorable new content. The so-called is just vain wishful thinking."


    "The creative process of "Avatar" is exactly the present of all kinds of investment and large-scale commercial blockbusters. It can be used for reference everywhere, and people can see everywhere other than themselves."


    "From the perspective of imagination, love is the most mindless part of "Avatar". In the specific plot, it integrates typical elements including heroes and beauties, bows and cannons. From encounters, misunderstandings, family opposition to elimination of misunderstandings, handsome guys are because of beauty. The uprisings of the uprising of love and anti-geism are in line with the old routines; justice defeats evil, bad people die ugly, good people laugh to the end, love lasts forever... Hollywood also has a lot of vulgar elements."


    "Let''s talk about special effects. The film can be praised slightly for special effects, but even the special effects scenes should not be confused with groundbreaking sex. The previous "Jurassic Park", "Star Wars", "The Matrix", "The Lord of the Rings" and "King Kong" all Before it, it was not inferior.


    "This time Cameron just integrated them and used 3D technology."


    After Roger Albert, the former well-known film critics, like grasshoppers entering the late autumn season, also jumped out one by one.


    "The story mode of "Avatar" is undoubtedly too old-fashioned. For such a top blockbuster of the year, the story cannot surprise people from the trailer to the film release. It will eventually pierce the 3D movie scam and destroy Ryan. The myth of Jenkins and James Cameron!"


    ¡ª¡ªJr? Jones


    "The plot of "Avatar" can not help but recall the same empty "Titanic". The plot is really ordinary, visually novel, and the theme is environmentally friendly. It is far from the perspective of those who have watched 3D movies. Can''t reach the point of shock! After reading it, there is basically no place to be memorable! Too much attention to the consequences of technology will bring about a void of thought!"


    ¡ª¡ªDavid Denby


    These film critics have used the media that accepts money to do things, and they have published criticisms on the film. Even Joe Mogenstein shamelessly criticized James Cameron. This is plagiarizing a certain Japanese''s "City in the Sky". "...


    Film critics will naturally be dealt with by powerful naval forces and a wide audience of fans, and the influence of plagiarism is even greater. James Cameron also made some responses in the interview.


    "This is just a joke."


    To treat film critics who have always criticized themselves, truck drivers will certainly not be polite. "Film critics always treat film workers with the worst vision and the most despicable thoughts!"


    ¡°The prototype of Hallelujah Mountain comes from a mountain in China.¡± Cameron also showed some photos to reporters. ¡°These steep mountains and the texture of the rocks gave us inspiration, but we put the prototype in the sky. I have never been to China. The crew sent people to China for filming. I decided to absorb some elements after seeing these pictures."


    Afterwards, Disney directly mailed a lawyer''s letter to Joe Mogenstern. Didn''t they want to make a big trouble? Then it''s a big trouble. See you in court!


    In the face of the so-called "strangulation" of North American film critics, Ryan and Disney also paid a little attention to it. The other side''s momentum is indeed a bit surprising, and the high investment of "Avatar" cannot but let them take it seriously.


    The development trajectory of the film is completely different from Ryan¡¯s previous impressions. The professional reputation of "Avatar" is very poor. On the Rotten Tomatoes website that specializes in professional film reviews, the freshness of the film fell to 100% in just two days. Fifty-one, if you just look at the professional reputation, it is simply a super bad movie.


    This also fully proves that film critics are a group that will be swayed by their interests. The so-called relative fairness is only ¡®relative¡¯.


    After the first day of fermentation, the reputation of "Avatar" among ordinary audiences is directly bursting. Various websites, forums and communities, as well as emerging Twitter and Facebook, are almost all the voices recommending this film.


    "It''s not enough to see it, and it doesn''t feel boring at all. James Cameron uses realistic 3D special effects to bring us into another world. "Avatar" makes people believe that technological innovations will indeed change the look and feel of the movie. In addition to innovation "Avatar" also alludes to political, cultural, environmental protection, race, religion and other issues. Director Cameron¡¯s ambition is as powerful as his imagination!"


    "This is not a simple movie, it is like a gold mine, worth digging deeper!"


    "Avatar is the most beautiful movie I have seen in recent years!"


    "Whether you choose 3d or normal mode, the shock and awe brought by "Avatar" are worth watching."


    "In fact, it is a movie we have seen before, but like we have never seen it before, it is the "Star Wars" of our time!"


    "James Cameron proved that he is indeed the king of the world. As the president of the army of visual effects technology, biological design, motion capture, stuntman, dancer, actors, music and sound, he uses The jaw-dropping way brings science fiction movies into the 21st century, this is "Avatar"!"


    As long as ordinary fans like it, it is enough to drive the movie''s box office.


    The second day of "Avatar" was released on Saturday, there was a strong rebound in the box office. The single-day box office in North America jumped to 47.85 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office received 177.85 million U.S. dollars.


    Amidst the "encirclement and suppression" of North American film critics, in just two days, the global box office of "Avatar" exceeded the 300 million dollar mark!


    At the same time, more Hollywood professionals have seen the film, and their evaluations are more convincing than the so-called savvy film critics.


    "The movie has new game rules, "Avatar" is the future!"-Jon Feiru


    "You can use''Before "Avatar"" and "After "Avatar" to divide film history."-Steven Soderbergh


    "This is a kind of''perceptual'' movie that can make your movie look different. I should start studying 3D movies."-Ridley Scott


    "The audience of the first sound film will be shocked by the sound, and the audience of the first color film will be shocked by the color. "Avatar" does the same thing."-George Lucas


    "The Renaissance in the History of Film." ¡ªLuc Besson


    The praise of real professionals and the word-of-mouth among movie fans finally drove the boom of "Avatar". Then on Sunday, the North American box office bucked the trend and won $52.15 million in a single day. The global box office received 212.41 million U.S. dollars!


    So far, in the first three days, "Avatar" has won more than 126 million U.S. dollars in North America, and the global box office has successfully exceeded 500 million U.S. dollars!


    More importantly, the inverse growth trend that violates the film screening law two days after the film is the most terrible thing. Many people unconsciously think of the big ship more than ten years ago, the life-threatening ship. Ship, there have been several reverse growth in the box office, and finally created a global box office record, and it has been maintained to this day.


    Could it be...


    Many people in Hollywood have launched associations. This record started with Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron. Should they end up by themselves?


    After three days of the weekend, the box office of "Avatar" will inevitably decline on weekdays. However, the number of screening theaters has rapidly expanded. The number of theaters in North America has rapidly increased from 3,452 to 4,155, and the newly added 600 theaters are almost all screenings. 3d and imax versions.


    The advent of the working day also eased the hard-to-find 3D version on Sunday The film was US$28.5 million on Monday, US$23.45 million on Tuesday, US$22 million on Wednesday, and US$21.5 million on Thursday. The box office almost broke the North American box office record for all working days after the film was released in the second week.


    Before the arrival of the new weekend, "Avatar"''s North American box office has steadily exceeded 220 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 800 million US dollars!


    During the next three days of the weekend, "Avatar" faced the challenge of 20th Century Fox''s "Elwin and the Chipmunk 2". There was no suspense in the battle between the two. The 20th Century Fox had high hopes for this film. The sequel animation, because of the overlap in positioning, was overwhelmed by "Avatar".


    "Elwyn and the Chipmunk 2" only got a North American box office of $32.87 million for three days over the weekend, while "Avatar"''s score was $111.05 million!


    The latest weekend box office statistics have just been released. Several senior officials of 20th Century Fox went to the headquarters of News Corporation in New York with ugly faces. Their faces became even more ugly after returning to Los Angeles. r1152

 Chapter 830： Who am i

    h2> "No one doubts the potential of "Avatar". Those boldest predictions have been broken. Ryan and Cameron have achieved an undefeated myth, whether it is based on the historical "Titanic" or The completely fictitious planet Pandora has become a popular event on Earth!"


    When the time entered 2010, "Avatar" not only smashed into the global film market with an unstoppable momentum, but also appeared on the cover of "Time". No one doubted that this would be an epoch-making movie anymore. .


    At least in the minds of ordinary audiences and Hollywood professionals, as Steven Soderbergh said, it is already possible to divide film history by "before "Avatar" and "after "Avatar".


    Four weeks after "Avatar" was released in North America, the North American box office steadily passed the $500 million mark!


    This is the second film in North American history with a box office of more than 500 million U.S. dollars, and the other is "Titanic"!


    In the same four weeks, "Avatar" swept the world as expected, with overseas box office exceeding 1.1 billion U.S. dollars, and the global box office totaling up to 1,621.55 million U.S. dollars!


    The film has only been in theaters for four weeks, and no one doubts that "Avatar" can challenge "Titanic"''s global box office record totaling $2.1 billion.


    Those film critics who bad-mouthed "Avatar" were torn away the last fig leaf by the ruthless reality.


    In the Chicago mansion, all the servants are careful. The person in the wheelchair has been in a bad mood since Christmas. Not only does he often get angry inexplicably, but occasionally tear the documents sent by the agent to pieces.


    After so many ups and downs, Roger Albert found that he still could not calmly face the box office numbers and box office trends of "Avatar" that can only be described as horror. He always felt an anger burning in his heart, but it happened again. Unable to vent, the gloom on his face became thicker and thicker, and it was almost dripping with water.


    Why does this movie go low and go high? Why give yourself hope? Why is Ryan Jenkins not finished?


    When he saw the film¡¯s North American midnight box office and first day box office, he really had a feeling of exuberance. This feeling has disappeared almost ten years ago. The cold reception encountered on the first day of "Avatar" even reminded him of himself. At that time, the major Hollywood companies, directors, big and small stars all flattered him, hoping to say a few good things for them in the film reviews, and some people even offered half a million dollars for this. The price code above.


    At that time, he did not lack fame and money.


    Although reason told him that the poor box office of "Avatar" on the first day was related to the snowstorm that spread to the east coast of North America and most of Europe, he has always had a fluke. He insisted that it was the collective criticism of film critics that caused this. The emergence of this situation is that the critics have affected the box office of the movie, and the critics have prevented the audience from entering the theater!


    Not the so-called blizzard weather!


    However, the facts will not change with personal wishes after all. "Avatar" has become a phenomenal film. Even if the group of film critics is supported by News Corporation, it still cannot prevent the film from crushing their group. The last bit of dignity.


    Why is it so? Are we really outdated?


    Roger Albert has never thought about it this way, but he never admits in his heart. He stubbornly believes that Ryan Jenkins is the curse they can''t get around!


    Couldn''t I see Ryan Jenkins dying for the rest of my life?


    As a leader in this industry, no one knows how much Roger Albert hates Ryan, who has seriously harmed their interests.


    Sitting quietly in the wheelchair, Roger Albert has been swiping the pen in his hand unconsciously, without even realizing it. The paper on the notebook has been scratched by him, the black scars. , The true reflection of his heart and the same resentful face as his heart.


    "Avatar" responded to the blow to them. It really hurts. It hurts more than "Star Wars" and "Titanic" combined. Although there is no ridicule of "Titanic", Roger Albert thinks of it. In addition to the auto-ignored past, he was also a member of "Star Wars" that year. George Lucas, whom they had always looked down upon and ridiculed, was like James Cameron, constantly reminding him of the success of "Star Wars" They¡ªthe self-proclaimed savvy film critics are actually nothing!


    Roger Albert thought of News Corporation, which had entered a seven-figure account into his account, and suddenly felt that a lot of the clouds entwined in his heart had disappeared.


    Obviously, News Corp is targeting Ryan Jenkins and Walt Disney.


    Although he could not guess the reason, he felt a lot of joy in his heart. Perhaps the powerful News Corporation would help him out the bad breath that has been pressing in his heart from 2002 to the present, and let the unbelievable evil Ryan Jenkins. Disgraced reputation, fall into the dust!


    I will open my eyes and wait to see that day!


    Roger Albert told himself that he must overcome his illness and live tenaciously to that day, watching the Ryan Jenkins myth completely shattered!


    In a short moment, the most famous film critic in the United States and even in the world, just like when commenting on many movies, he habitually ignored the scandal on "Avatar" and saw new hope.


    If Ryan knew about it, he would definitely sigh, he is indeed a professional film critic with a thicker skin than rhino leather!


    The snowstorm in New York has long stopped, and the work and life of the Big Apple returned to normal before Christmas last year. As a three-no-person-no column, no fixed job, no stable income-former well-known film critic David Deng It''s harder than the recent days. As a former''celebrity'', he rented an apartment in the famous Upper East Side of New York.


    Now David Denby has to prepare to move. It is not easy to live in the Upper East Side. For tenants like him, not only need to have an identity, but also through the community or apartment building owner. The committee''s review, without knowing when, the eyes of the people around him all changed.


    Recently, his landlord and the committee in the community have notified him that he must move out within a time limit because he has been complained by many neighbors. No one wants to be a neighbor of a film critic who likes to talk and bites people like a mad dog. Going out will reduce the style of the community and damage their reputation!


    David Denby was very angry. When did the film critic become a mad dog?


    When he moved in, it was the most beautiful moment for film critics. Even the community of the Upper East Side, which pays much attention to tradition, expressed enough welcome for his arrival. Only ten years later, he has become Are they crazy dogs in their eyes?


    When did film critics become a dispensable little role?


    Standing in the living room of the apartment, David Denby looked a little dazed. He turned his head inadvertently and saw a copy of the "New York Times" on the table. The front page of the newspaper was the latest global box office of "Avatar"¡ª ¡ª2.255 billion US dollars!


    This record-breaking figure is like a big mouth full of sneers, laughing at their self-defeating ability!


    Who am i? What can I do to go against Ryan Jenkins?


    For a moment, David Denby regretted it. Why did he directly challenge Ryan Jenkins in the first place. Why didn''t he maintain a good cooperative relationship with Disney like Kenneth Turan and Todd McCarthy?


    If this is the case, will he be swept out of the Upper East Side?


    On the third day when David Denby was forced to move out of the Upper East Side due to the pressure of the community committee, an old man and a middle-aged woman were also meditating in a villa not far from here.


    It took 78-year-old Rupert Murdoch all his life to create the behemoth News Corp. He never concealed his ambitions and even wanted to swallow Time Warner. Unfortunately, the other party chose AOL. , Now the facts prove that this is a lose-lose result.


    "It''s already $2.3 billion."


    Wendi Deng, who was sitting next to him, was flipping through the newspaper, "If Twentieth Century Fox can win the distribution rights, we can at least get $200 million from it."


    "If it were replaced by us," Murdoch shook his head, "will Disney be allowed to share the proceeds?"


    Wendi Deng was silent, turned a page, still did not hold back, "The sales of toys and other products have exceeded 500 million US dollars."


    "I heard that James Cameron is preparing for a sequel." She added, "Can''t we contact him? He had a good relationship with Twentieth Century Fox before, and we can secure Cameron''s support first. Take this to put pressure on Ryan and Disney to join us in this project."


    "There is no hope now." Murdoch could see more clearly than Deng Wendi, who had a relatively simple vision, "Rather than competing for these ethereal interests, it is better to swallow them as soon as possible."


    "Disney is a strong opponentWendi Deng is not a fool either." Their contact with Lucasfilm has entered the stage of substantial negotiations. With the definite news, Ryan has been watching this. Even the "Avatar" celebration party did not attend. "


    "I will let people find a way to divert the energy of him and Disney."


    This one of the world''s largest media giants has obviously planned everything, "Ryan cares about too many people and things, these will distract him, I will let him give up!"


    "He..." Wendi Deng was a little worried, "It''s not easy to deal with."


    "Don''t forget, I am not Michael Eisner."


    Rupert Murdoch is full of confidence. He is completely different from Michael Eisner. After all, the other party is only the manager of Disney, and he is the real controller of News Corporation!


    Lucasfilm has huge interests, and News Corp. cannot give up, even if its rival is Walt Disney. r1152

 Chapter 831： Disney crisis

    In the past January, the theme of the world film industry was called "Avatar", but in February, this theme remained unchanged. The North American box office of "Avatar" officially passed the threshold of 700 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office exceeded 2.5 billion U.S. dollars. Mark!


    Although the film''s daily box office numbers from all over the world have dropped to more than 10 million U.S. dollars, it is still advancing steadily. Some optimistic institutions predict that the final box office of "Avatar" will approach or exceed the terrible figure of 3 billion U.S. dollars.


    At the Golden Globe Awards held in January, "Avatar" was also the biggest winner, winning two awards for best director and best feature film.


    This is related to Disney¡¯s operational planning. Last month was a critical moment to promote the box office of "Avatar". Disney used all the means available to promote the film, even with the permission of James Cameron. , And hyped up the five marriages of truck drivers one by one...


    As for the weather vane issue, in fact, everyone knows that there is a huge gap between the Golden Globes and the Oscars, and the two are not particularly connected. Under all favorable conditions, the possibility of "The Hurt Locker" is also very small.


    On February 2, the 82nd Academy Awards nominees luncheon was held at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. "Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" became the biggest nominees.


    The former won nine nominations including best picture, best director, best editing, best photography, best visual effects, best artistic director and best original soundtrack.


    The latter also received nine nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Photography, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay and Best Sound Effects.


    The two films are destined to fight at the Oscars.


    After "Avatar" got on the right track at the box office, Ryan''s attention shifted. George Lucas seemed to really plan to retire. After Disney¡¯s negotiating team secretly contacted Lucasfilm for a while, The two parties have entered a substantial negotiation stage and have begun a long-term price seesaw.


    In general. It went smoother than Ryan expected.


    Viacom and Time Warner are busy with their internal affairs and have no intention of intervening. Universal and Conscat are also very calm. News Corp., which is most worried, does not seem to have changed much.


    If all goes on like this, Lucasfilm will definitely become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Walt Disney. The current obstacle is nothing more than a price issue.


    The market value of Lucasfilm is now a little over US$3.3 billion. If Disney wants to complete this good-faith acquisition, it must take a premium. In the first round of formal negotiations, Disney quoted a total purchase price of US$3.515 billion. , But was rejected by the management headed by George Lucas.


    Ryan didn''t mean to contact George Lucas privately. This kind of transaction involving billions of dollars hardly played any role in favors.


    The negotiations are still in the confidential stage. At the end of January, Disney submitted a second $3.65 billion offer to Lucasfilm, which was rejected again.


    After the Oscar nomination was announced, Walt Disney held a board of directors for this purpose to discuss the next offer.


    "Lucas Pictures is the active party." Robert Iger said, "If it weren''t for the financial crisis that caused major groups and banks to shrink their money, they would not lack the next home. Now, even though George Lucas is showing a sale It means, but if they can¡¯t sell it, they can continue to operate.¡±


    "We can raise the offer again."


    Another executive director said. He is Crete Disney, the son of Roy Disney, after Roy Disney''s death. Became the only representative of the Disney family in Walt Disney.


    However, his reputation and ability are far from Roy Disney, and he is notoriously low-eyed.


    "My psychological bottom line is $4 billion." Ryan said slowly.


    Lucasfilm is totally worth the price. Unlike other companies, Lucasfilm has no debt of one cent, and Disney does not have to worry about debts and bad debts after the acquisition.


    The high-quality resources that can be acquired in this way are hardly found in Hollywood.


    "Robert, the specific pricing..."


    Suddenly someone knocked on the door of the conference room, and a secretary went over to open the door. George walked quickly towards Ryan.


    Many people, including Nicole, looked over strangely. They all knew George, the special assistant to the chairman. This is a calm and even silent person with a certain degree of decision-making power in his hands. If it is not a particularly important event, will you never break into the board of directors?


    what happened?


    Seeing the encrypted phone that George handed over, Ryan put it in his ear, but after hearing a few words, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, and his blue eyes narrowed into a line.


    After hanging up the phone, Ryan looked at the other directors who focused their attention on him, breathed out slowly, and still calmly said, "The topic we are discussing will be forced to interrupt."


    "What happened?" Nicole asked.


    "I just received the news." Ryan stood up and walked a few steps, and then said, "The Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Bureau of the Department of Justice have received complaints from several companies at the same time. The business has launched an antitrust investigation, and their representatives will soon appear in Burbank."


    The venue was silent for a moment. If it was replaced by any commercial group company, anti-monopoly investigations were very troublesome.


    "Robert..." Ryan looked at the CEO. "The negotiations with Lucasfilm will be handed over to you for the time being."


    "no problem."


    After the other party nodded, Ryan continued, "Next we will discuss how to deal with this antitrust investigation."


    Strictly speaking, Disney does have an absolute advantage in online video and animated films. It seems normal to be complained about monopoly, but Ryan always feels that things will not be that simple. Robert Iger and Cook Dick also agree with him. the opinion of.


    In particular, the timing of the antitrust investigation is too sensitive. If the scale of the investigation is expanded, it will completely disrupt the pace of Disney''s acquisition of Lucasfilm.


    Regardless of whether Disney''s commercial activities constitute a monopoly, since someone has promoted this antitrust investigation, it must be dealt with seriously.


    As the largest and most developed economy in the world, the anti-monopoly system and practice in the United States has undergone more than 100 years of evolution and improvement, and has always maintained a certain degree of crackdown on monopoly behavior, and the crackdown method is also consistent with the changes in economic and social conditions. The pace has formed a dynamic coexistence of monopoly and competition.


    Since the 1990s, with the increasingly fierce international competition for technological innovation, the goal of the federal government¡¯s anti-monopoly is no longer to simply prevent market monopoly and price manipulation, but to focus on how to prevent technological monopoly outside of patent protection, just like targeting Microsoft and Apple''s antitrust investigations are the same to strictly prevent the emergence of knowledge-based online oligopoly.


    Especially after the Obama administration came to power, it changed the Bush administration¡¯s tolerance policy towards large companies¡¯ monopolistic behavior and returned to the Clinton administration to implement strong anti-monopoly based on the goal of encouraging innovation and technological change. Large companies want to get involved in anti-monopoly lawsuits in the United States. Getting out is not easy.


    According to the Federal Anti-Monopoly Law, once a company is found to be suspected of a monopoly, it may face various penalties such as fines, imprisonment, compensation, civil sanctions, forced dissolution, and splitting. The Ministry of Justice can directly initiate civil and criminal actions against companies suspected of monopoly litigation.


    The Federal Trade Commission can also directly make a ruling or file a civil lawsuit. In addition, damaged companies or ordinary consumers can also directly file a civil lawsuit against a company suspected of a monopoly and demand three times the damages.


    In short, antitrust investigations are very troublesome for a company.


    If large companies want to get rid of antitrust investigations, the usual method is to pay huge fines to "spend money to eliminate disasters", which has almost become an international practice.


    But Ryan realized that this antitrust investigation might not be that simple, and Disney could not say it would be dragged into a long-term investigation quagmire like the Microsoft lawsuit.


    As he had guessed, just after noon, the authoritative financial media of News Corporation, the "Wall Street Journal", disclosed the news on its official website, saying that the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Bureau of the Department of Justice will investigate whether Disney Abusing its dominant advantage in the Internet market, unfairly transferring Internet users to Disney¡¯s growing service network, and suppressing its competitors.


    As soon as the news came out, Walt Disney''s share price fell. By the end of the afternoon, the single share price fell by nearly 3%!


    On the second day, representatives of the Federal Trade Commission arrived in Burbank first, and the gossip website of the New York Post under News Corporation immediately posted pictures of antitrust representatives walking into the Walt Disney headquarters. The news that Disney is about to accept an antitrust investigation.


    Disney''s stock price continued to decline. In just two days, Disney lost 4% of its market value ~ www.novelhall.com ~ a total of 3.5 billion US dollars!


    Denial is definitely not a wise choice. Disney simply posted on the blog that the Federal Trade Commission has launched an investigation into the company''s business, but Disney stated that it "does not know what the committee is specifically concerned about."


    "This will be the biggest crisis Walt Disney has faced since its establishment 90 years ago!"


    "If anti-monopoly is established, Disney may face a astronomical fine of more than three billion U.S. dollars!"


    "The Ministry of Justice may file a formal antitrust lawsuit against Disney, and Disney will be split into two parts, film and television entertainment and online media!"


    In just three days, from the North American Fox Television Network and the "Wall Street Journal" to the British Sky Television and the "Times", all of them were frantically reporting on Disney''s antitrust incidents, and even some media from other media groups joined in. To it.


    After all, if Disney is really split, other media groups will lose one strong competitor. Even if it cannot be split, it is in their interest to take the opportunity to weaken Disney. (To be continued)

 Chapter 832： Hollywood Eye

    "I have bought three important products in my life, one is Viacom, one is Paramount, and the other is cbs."


    Sitting behind the desk, Summer Redstone looked at the person opposite, "Now, my shopping bag is full."


    Although he was over eighty-five years old, Summer Redstone''s desire for power has not diminished in the slightest, and has always been firmly in control of Viacom, for which he will not hesitate to antagonize his son and daughter.


    However, compared to Rupert Murdoch, the older Redstone has lost the adventurous spirit of more than ten years ago, and Viacom, who was faltering by the financial crisis, cannot withstand the next risk. Shock.


    "No matter who is the winner of this battle, we will all benefit."


    It¡¯s not too much to describe Summer Redstone in terms of old age. "Matthew, let our media follow the trend. We will help whoever has the upper hand."


    "Mr. Murdoch is on the phone..."


    The executive opposite, named Matthew, seemed to hesitate, "The people from the Antitrust Bureau of the Department of Justice have also arrived in Burbank, Disney..."


    "Huh, no one can underestimate Ryan, and no one dares to underestimate Ryan!"


    Summer Redstone''s slightly muddy eyes suddenly brightened, "I knew Ryan when he was twelve years old. I know what kind of person he is."


    "Let Murdoch fight him well, and we have no loss." He raised a finger, "We only help the winner."


    Redstone is almost a portrayal of the stance of major media groups in North America. News Corp. is clearly targeting Walt Disney and has the absolute upper hand. Now they almost all stand in favor of News Corp. Anyway, no matter where the two are. The bad luck of the family is in their interests.


    "It is clear,"


    Disney''s top trio meeting. Ryan said to Robert Iger and Cook Dick, ¡°News Corp. wants to borrow... No, this antitrust investigation triggered by the complaint. It is likely that News Corp. planned to disrupt Disney¡¯s normal operations. ."


    "Their goals are also very clear!"


    Robert Iger pointed to the name on the file at hand. "Lucas Pictures!"


    "Are we deferring the acquisition of Lucasfilm?" It was President Cook Dick who spoke.


    Among the trio of Disney¡¯s highest power structure, Cook Dick is not as radical as Ryan and Robert Iger, and is relatively more conservative. This is why Ryan has always made him the president of the group. There is such a The benefits of falling behind are more than disadvantages.


    Ryan slowly closed his eyes, thought about it for about a few minutes, and said slowly, "The negotiation continues. I will deal with News Corp. Robert, this is a good opportunity. I not only want Lucasfilm, but also The copyright of that part of "Star Wars" in the hands of 20th Century Fox!"


    The trio meeting only lasted just ten minutes before it was over. Ryan dialed George''s phone, and the special assistant immediately walked in.


    Take out a file bag from the drawer next to it, Ryan handed it to George, "Garcia Rodriguez, he will destroy it immediately after seeing it."


    George nodded. Left the office.


    After about half an hour, Nicole opened the door and walked in and sat on the opposite side. Asked, "What can I do? Can''t you go home and say it?"


    "Nicole, I can''t leave Los Angeles for the time being. You will go to the UK on my behalf." Ryan thought for a while, "Go to Buckingham Palace and see Her Majesty the Queen. The royal family has encountered some troubles since last year. We can help them."


    "You mean..." Nicole understood instantly.


    "Remember what I mentioned after the board of directors?" Ryan said unhurriedly, "I believe Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness, and No.10 Downing Street must be unbearable. Gordon Brown¡¯s relationship with News Corporation is very difference!"


    "Ok!"


    Nicole didn''t say much, and walked out quickly.


    Throughout the first ten days of February. Hollywood is filled with news of Disney''s acceptance of antitrust investigations, and industry insiders also have mixed opinions on this. Some people are happy, some are worried, and many more are watching the excitement.


    Ryan Jenkins has been doing well for so many years, and it seems that he is finally going to be unlucky this time.


    On February 15th, on a very ordinary Monday, another news that had been circulated in Hollywood for a long time was confirmed. George Lucas officially announced at a press conference in San Francisco that he had entered a state of''retirement'' and would stay away from commercial film production in the future. Participate more in charity, film teaching and experimental film exploration.


    At the same time, Walt Disney officially announced that it would buy Lucasfilm at a price of US$3.7 billion.


    Soon afterwards, Twentieth Century Fox joined the buying industry on behalf of News Corporation and stabilised and stabilised Disney with an asking price of US$3.85 billion.


    In an instant, there were more sensible people in Hollywood.


    Lucasfilm is not in a hurry at all. At the same time, it has contacted and negotiated with Walt Disney and Twentieth Century Fox. As for which side Lucasfilm''s position will be, it depends on the bids of both parties. Up.


    George Lucas called Ryan specifically for this matter. He is only one of Lucasfilm''s major shareholders, and he can''t completely influence the inclination of other shareholders.


    Ryan also knows this very well. In the face of billions of dollars of money, the only decisive factor is profit.


    Although Walt Disney is still under investigation and questioning by rumors of a monopoly, it has no intention of giving up Lucasfilm. Twentieth Century Fox clings to Disney¡¯s offer. A benevolent acquisition is inevitable. Evolved into a long period of malicious bidding.


    Disney¡¯s troubles are not just these. This Friday, Bryant Moore, a science fiction writer from the state of Marilla, sued Disney and James Cameron in the "Avatar" for plagiarizing his two in the Maryland District Court. A script accused Cameron and the entire "Avatar" crew for breach of contract, fraud and other charges, and proposed up to 250 million US dollars in damages.


    Disney, in the midst of wind and rain, was once again hit.


    "Every time there is a movie that achieves commercial success."


    At a press conference, Ryan said, "There will be many people who want to steal the fruits of victory!"


    James Cameron, who attended the press conference at the same time as him, also accepted an interview, "Since the success of "Terminator 2", I have seen too many people like this. I said a long time ago, "Avatar" It is my most precious asset and a project that I personally cultivated. It took me decades from the beginning of this idea to the real concept and development of a movie."


    Perhaps others would suspect, but Ryan believed in James Cameron. As early as the 1990s, he had read relevant drafts of James Cameron. One of them was a sketch from the truck driver¡¯s high school period. The big tree painted is infinitely close to the prototype of the tree of life on Pandora.


    In the eight years from 2002 to the present, Disney has not encountered so many troubles, but now it has jumped out one by one.


    The British "Daily Mail" reported that Vito, the copyright agency for Tolkien''s "Lord of the Rings" series, is also planning to sue Disney. They believe that Disney has seriously underreported the box office of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy in order to reduce payments. The share given to Tolkien''s descendants, if possible, will be withdrawn for the adaptation rights of The Hobbit and the Silmarillion!


    Regardless of whether the news is completely true or not, this makes many Disney managers feel a crisis. If they lose the right to adapt "The Hobbit", Disney will face huge losses of hundreds of millions of dollars.


    You know, Disney has invested heavily in this project, and Peter Jackson is leading the crew to shoot the "The Hobbit" trilogy in New Zealand.


    Disney specifically questioned Tolkien''s "Lord of the Ring" series of copyright Vito agencies for this, and the other party''s words flickered and blurred, and it was obviously interfered by external factors.


    When everything went wrong at Disney, Ryan received a call from Rupert Murdoch.


    "Long time no see, Ryan."


    The voice on the phone was as warm as usual, "If you have time, you and Nicole are welcome to come as a guest."


    "If I have time, I will definitely." Ryan''s tone is also very relaxed, as if things have never happened these days, "I am waiting for you to help me introduce more New York celebrities."


    "I''m going to have a party the day after tomorrow." Rupert Murdoch''s words seem to have no meaning. "As long as you leave Los Angeles and come to New York, you will definitely become the most popular guest."


    "Then I can only say sorry." Ryan refused the seemingly kind invitation without hesitation. "You know, Rupert. Disney has had a lot of trouble recently, and I can''t get out of it."


    His attitude is very clear, and he will never give in easily to Lucasfilm.


    "Well, I won''t interrupt your work."


    The two sides spoke for half a minute and then hung up the phone.


    Putting down the phone, Ryan sat in the office, quietly thinking about Murdoch''s next move. Although the current News Corporation frequently used bad tricks and aggressive offensive, it was not beyond the scope of normal commercial competition to be precise.


    But ''s opponent is News Corp., a media company with no lower limit.


    He can completely imagine that when normal commercial methods are ineffective, the other party will definitely use some other methods.


    Ryan quickly thought about himself. The thing he was most criticized for was his relationship with Nicole and the others, but these were all old things, and the cold rice was not worth much.


    Of course, this is not a place that is impossible to be used by people, such as a daughter who has never appeared in front of the public.


    I hope Murdoch doesn''t make such a faint move, otherwise he doesn''t mind dragging the other party into **** together.


    In a villa not very far from Burbank, private detective Anthony Pelicano, known as the "Hollywood Eye", welcomed a visitor. Although the other party¡¯s request was extremely difficult, due to repeated contact with him Some of the handles of the company''s transactions fell into the hands of others, and with the temptation of a huge check, Anthony Pelicano finally accepted the commission. (To be continued) r655

 Chapter 833： More and more chaotic situation

    h2>Hollywood once circulated a saying-there is a scandal, find Pelicano to settle it. Anthony Pelicano also firmly believes that everyone has a dead spot, and that is a scandal.


    Pelicano was one of the traders in Michael Jackson''s notorious lawsuit.


    In 1993, Michael Jackson was involved in the case of sexual harassment of a boy. When the plaintiff and the defendant had an indiscreet in the court, Pellicano appeared on the scene. He held a box that proved that the boy¡¯s family tried to treat Michael Jackson Private audiotapes for extortion were distributed to the media in large numbers to create a public opinion offensive.


    In the end, Michael Jackson and the plaintiff reached an out-of-court settlement, and the case was not settled.


    All this is due to the private detective company run by Anthony Pelicano. In addition, he also mingled with the paparazzi. After the paparazzi digs into a star, they often sell it to Pelicano first, and Los Angeles The police have also become the target of Pelicano''s bribery, and he can obtain some of the celebrities'' criminal records that have been sealed.


    Upon receiving this commission, Anthony Pelicano immediately mobilized all the resources in his hands and quickly locked in a suitable target. For him, who knows Hollywood very well, he is convinced that the two close-knit blonde girls will never look like the surface. It seems so simple, since it is to make trouble for that big man, then make the trouble a little bigger.


    In the past, his media alliance with News Corporation did too many ugly things in Hollywood and even the United States, and now he can only continue to stand with News Corporation.


    Not only News Corp is in action, Ryan will also not wait to die.


    George met Garcia Rodriguez in a coffee shop, and then Ryan''s investigative consulting company was fully operational.


    Nicole went out of Heathrow Airport, directly boarded the royal family''s Rolls Royce, and rushed to Windsor Castle where the royal family was on vacation. In addition to Prince William, she was received by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. Not long after The current Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the Secretary of the Interior, who had a bad relationship with News Corporation, left No.10 Downing Street and hurried to Windsor Castle.


    At the same time, Taylor walked into the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. As usual, he pushed away the bodyguards and assistants around him, and took the elevator up to the tenth floor. He skillfully found the appointment room and knocked gently on the door. Another blond woman who was half a head shorter than her opened the door and pulled her in. Before the door was completely closed, the two hugged tightly.


    The door on the opposite side opened an indiscernible gap. A person pressed the pinhole camera again and again, then put on his formal suit with satisfaction and left the Hilton Hotel.


    In the luxurious suite, two blonde girls lay flat on the thick carpet, their rapid breathing gradually returning to stability.


    "Alison!"


    Scarlett Johansson propped up her body and stared at Taylor closely, "What about your usual courage?"


    "Scarlett!"


    Tyler sat up, taking advantage of the height, suppressed Scarlett with his eyes, "I said, give me time, I will deal with it!"


    "Time?" Scarlett was dissatisfied, "I''ve been waiting for a few years, and you always say it takes time."


    "But this kind of thing really takes time..." Taylor said weakly.


    "Frankly speaking, Alison." Scarlett also sat up, folded her arms and looked at Tyler, "What are you afraid of?"


    "Don''t tell me you are afraid of fans abandoning you, afraid of the public opinion environment."


    Seeing that Taylor seemed to have a sophistry, Scarlett said again, "I knew you when you were a kid, and I know you."


    "I..." Tyler rarely showed weakness.


    "Your parents, your family?"


    Seeing Taylor silent, Scarlett was silent for a while, and then said, "It''s more Ryan and Nicole, right?"


    "Many of their friends are like us." Scarlett reminded again.


    "No, Scarlett, you don''t understand." Taylor finally broke the silence, she shook her head, "That''s a friend, not a sister. You know, Scarlett, from the age of seven, more time, Nicole and Ryan are taking care of me. They poured a lot of feelings and hope into me. I..."


    She lowered her head, "I don''t want to disappoint them."


    "Well, that''s it for now."


    Scarlett sighed gently, and slowly hugged the tall girl in front of her.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Throughout the past decades in Hollywood, no year before the Oscars was as lively as it is now.


    "Disney has encountered an antitrust investigation and may be split..."


    "George Lucas retires..."


    "Walt Disney and News Corporation are in fierce competition for Lucasfilm..."


    These news completely overwhelmed the 82nd Academy Awards in the media.


    If these are normal business competitions, then the gossip that News Corporation''s "New York Post" stabbed the whole American public into a frenzy.


    "New York Post" exposed the biggest scandal of the year on the front page.


    Although the photos published in the newspaper are a bit vague, the faces of the two girls hugging and kissing can be easily identified.


    This is the place that amazes the public the most. Scarlett Johansson, the outstanding actress of the new generation, and Taylor Swift, Disney''s princess, are coming out!


    Both of them have countless fans across the United States, among which countless swearers or critics.


    If it is not surprising that more and more Hollywood stars come out publicly today, then the news that the New York Post will publish next is even more explosive.


    This is also a picture. The background is the "Avengers" studio. The protagonist is Nicole Kidman and the little girl she is holding. Although the little girl¡¯s eyes are blocked, she and Nicole¡¯s Intimacy, even an idiot can guess something.


    What''s more, there is news from insiders below.


    "A cute little girl ran in from outside the studio, called Dad to Ryan, and called Mommy to Miss Kidman. All of us were stunned. No one thought of such a cute little guy. It turned out to be an illegitimate daughter...Her parents are too irresponsible..."


    Although some words are borrowed from the so-called insiders, the New York Post''s intentions can be imagined. They obviously want to use this to guide public opinion.


    The facts are also the same as the New York Post hoped. Except for Disney¡¯s media and those directly affected by Ryan, the North American media suddenly set off a wave of criticism of Ryan Jenkins and those around him overnight. upsurge.


    "In the past, Ryan has always been the object of admiration in the United States. Now it seems that his actions are no different from other Hollywood stars..."


    "The scandal surrounds Ryan Jenkins, and Disney has suffered another heavy blow in the stock market."


    "Ryan and the people around him have been hiding in the mist. Now it seems that there are too many unrevealed secrets."


    "Sandy Jenkins is so pitiful, so beautiful and cute, but has a pair of irresponsible parents."


    "It is recommended that the child rights protection department intervene in the investigation..."


    In just a few days, Ryan and the entire community of interests surrounding him were caught in a whirlpool of public opinion.


    It seems that the whole world has abandoned them.


    "Ryan..."


    As soon as she got off the plane, Sending Jinsli hurried to Malibu. After entering the lobby, she immediately asked, "Why not let Disney''s media fight back?"


    "The quarrel will only make public opinion more uproarious."


    Looking at Sandy sitting aside playing with Barbie dolls, Ryan said calmly, ¡°The goal of the public relations team is still Oscar, there is no need to be distracted. Pat, we all know that someone is instigating support behind this incident. As long as the black hands behind the scenes are removed, these sounds will soon disappear."


    "Then what should we do?" Pie? Jinsli sat on the solo sofa.


    "Wait." Ryan said unhurriedly, "Wait for the right time."


    "I hope it won''t be too long."


    Hearing what Ryan said, Jinsli instantly relaxed, "The longer you wait, the more trouble you will leave in the future."


    If the opponent is not News Corporation, and replaced by Time Warner or Viacom, Ryan will have already started to fight back. The current strength of the two will not be Walt Disney''s opponents, and News Corporation will have to trouble.


    Of course, it is precisely because the opponent is News Corporation that Ryan doesn''t care about the passive beating situation at all. Instead, he calmly lays out so that he can bite more meat from News Corporation when he fights back in the future.


    Winning first is not a win. Who can laugh last is the real winner.


    Regardless of the fact that other media groups in North America seem to be helping News Corporation, if Walt Disney gains the upper hand, these people will not hesitate to abandon Rupert Murdoch and join Disney¡¯s camp in order to get a drink. soup.


    "father¡­¡­"


    Sandy leaned forward to his face, "Did those bad guys make you angry again?"


    Picking up his daughter, Ryan kissed her on the forehead, and waves of anger surged in his calm heart.


    In this country that advocates free competition, it is not surprising that commercial competition uses any means, but Rupert Murdoch should not pull Taylor and Sandy into the water, this is his sister and daughter!


    Those who hurt them must pay a price!


    "What''s the matter with you, Dad?"


    Suddenly, Sandy pulled on Larry''s clothes, "When I grow up, I will fight those bad guys."


    The little guy leaned in and kissed Ryan, "I like Dad."


    "Dad likes Sunny too." Ryan squeezed the towering little nose underneath, and turned to look at Jinsli, "Pat, where is Tyler, where is it hiding? I won''t answer the phone. ."


    "In North Hollywood, Scarlett''s house." Jinsli seemed helpless, "I got off the plane with Nicole, and I came directly to Malibu. She went to North Hollywood..."


    Frowning slightly, Ryan stood up holding Sandy, "Honey, shall we go see Tyler?"


    "Okay." The little guy nodded immediately, "I haven''t seen my sister for a long time." r1152

 Chapter 834： Got stabbed 1

    The black Rolls-Royce ignored the paparazzi and drove straight into Scarlett¡¯s home. The driver skillfully turned the car into the garage. Ryan picked Sandy, pushed the car door, walked through a corridor, and entered Scarlett¡¯s house. Li''s villa.


    "Mummy."


    The little guy jumped off Ryan, ran all the way into the living room, plunged into Nicole¡¯s arms, and after kissing his mother **** the face, he shouted to the two people sitting opposite each other, ¡°Taylor, Si Ka, hello."


    "Hello, Sandy..."


    Probably after seeing Ryan who came in later, the two active guys were a little silent in the past.


    "How are things going?"


    Without looking at them, Ryan sat directly next to Nicole, and Nicole nodded, "Everything went well."


    "They..." Nicole looked at her daughter, but in the end she didn''t say anything.


    "I have written down this account." Ryan gave Nicole a relieved look, and then looked at Taylor and Scarlett opposite, "Tell me, what''s the matter with you two, why don''t you agree? Take my call? Scott and Mrs. Andrea have called me more than a dozen calls. How can I explain to them? I guess they will fly to Los Angeles tomorrow."


    "Also, Scarlett..."


    "My mother didn''t say anything." Scarlett said quickly. "She doesn''t support or oppose it."


    "What about you, Alison." Ryan looked at Tyler with his head down. "Are you planning not to answer my calls in the future?"


    "I... I''m sorry."


    Those royal blue eyes were obviously not as bright as before. Tyler raised his head, looked at Nicole first, then at Ryan, opened his mouth, and whispered. "I...I let you down..."


    "Disappointed?" Ryan turned to look at Nicole, and read the same meaning from her eyes, "Alison. How would you think?"


    He shook his head directly.


    Nicole took the words, "Honey. You are our sister, no matter what happens, this will not change!"


    "Sister..." Sandy jumped off Nicole, ran to Taylor, took her hand and said, "Is there a bad guy bullying you? Let''s fight the bad guys together!"


    Picking up Sandy, Taylor kissed her on the forehead. Then he looked at Ryan expectantly.


    "Nicole''s words are what I want to say." Ryan nodded vigorously.


    "I..." Tyler put down Sandy and suddenly walked over, first hugged Nicole, then hugged Ryan, "I love you!"


    The clouds shrouded in the villa suddenly dissipated, and Taylor and Scarlett gradually recovered their former appearances, not only talking and laughing, but also no longer concealing their intimacy.


    Thinking of the things that he had neglected in the past, Ryan could only sigh that he was confused. In fact, they had shown a lot of traces before, but he had never considered this aspect.


    "I used to think that you will grow up."


    This is an unexplainable mentality. Ryan looked at Taylor with his eyes on Sandy, "One day, I will take you to the red carpet, and then give you to another person to take care of, but I didn''t expect..."


    Ryan squeezed his eyebrows, "I didn''t expect this person to be Scarlett."


    "I promise!" Scarlett on the other side said immediately, "I will take good care of Alison."


    "Hey, Scarlett!"


    Get rid of the biggest worry. Taylor gradually regained his former activity, "I have always been taking care of you!"


    "You two!"


    Ryan raised his hand to interrupt the possible dispute. Said, "Let''s think about how to face Scott and Mrs. Andrea tomorrow."


    "You will help us. Will you?" Tyler looked at Ryan hopefully.


    "I''m sorry..." Ryan shook his head, "Your parents can only be persuaded by you."


    "My dear, you know we have a lot of trouble now." Nicole also said, "These need to be resolved as soon as possible."


    Tyler immediately thought of the recent turmoil that Disney was facing, and frowned his golden eyebrows. "Behind this incident, News Corporation must be making trouble. They are distracting our attention. If we are caught in these troubles, there must be no way to fight for Lu. Cass Pictures."


    "More than that." Ryan squeezed his chin, "If it can weaken Disney, or even cause Disney''s civil unrest or other unstable events, they can also get more benefits from it."


    In North America, when the executives of a group company are entangled in many scandals, there is often only one way to quell public opinion by resigning temporarily. Now many media in North America are hyping Ryan''s illegitimate daughter and the so-called scandals of Taylor and others. It is forcing him to move closer to this road.


    It''s just that Ryan holds a controlling stake in Disney. Even though Disney and himself seem to be completely plunged into the quagmire, he still firmly controls Disney.


    At least up to now, Disney, from the grassroots employees to the vast majority of managers, has full confidence in him.


    The box office and peripheral sales of "Avatar" are one of the sources of this confidence. By the end of February, the North American box office of this epoch-making film was close to 800 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office exceeded the 2.8 billion U.S. dollar mark. It seems that no matter what Any accident to the producer, Disney, could not prevent the film¡¯s box office from climbing to a height of $3 billion.


    Correspondingly, the peripheral products of the film and various licenses have also allowed Disney to reap a huge amount of US$700 million!


    And "Alice in Wonderland", released on Valentine''s Day, is another source of confidence for Disney. This movie, which has almost no special features except 3d, quickly made up for it with the help of the new wave of 3d movies brought by "Avatar" The market''s desire for this type of film has risen worldwide since the day it was released.


    The important thing is that this is not a fake 3D movie from a previous life, but a real movie made using 3D technology.


    "Alice in Wonderland" has only been released for ten days, and the North American box office has reached 221.99 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office has also exceeded 400 million U.S. dollars.


    Everyone can see the strength of Disney¡¯s movies and the surrounding business. People like 20th Century Fox who want to divide the cake have become more eager. Even within Disney, some people inevitably have some ideas and dreams. Disney returns to the path that it used to truly belong to the Disney family.


    The dilemma faced by Disney and Ryan also made them see this kind of hope.


    News Corp. and Walt Disney are still competing with Lucasfilm. After both quoted the price of 3.95 billion U.S. dollars, they tacitly stopped bidding and turned their target to each other.


    The managers on both sides are not fools. If they cannot repel the other party as soon as possible, the acquisition will only turn into an infinitely high malicious bid.


    But News Corp and Walt Disney¡¯s reactions are quite different. The former is aggressive, while the latter seems to be scorched by antitrust and management scandals. In the face of News Corp¡¯s competition, they have no power to fight back.


    However, Disney has been holding a sigh of relief, and it seems that it does not mean to give up Lucasfilm.


    On February 25, Sky TV, a subsidiary of News Corporation, disclosed another shocking news. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair accepted an interview with their column program.


    "After I stepped down as Prime Minister, I did accept the appointment of some companies and serve as their special advisors, including the Walt Disney Group! Of course, the work I am doing must be legal, but there are some things that I will regret too."


    "Excuse me, what do you regret?" the host asked timely.


    "I accepted a private commission from Ryan Jenkins. Last year, I went to Switzerland to lobby for the Roman Polanski case. Although I did not contribute, as far as I know, he also hired some former high-ranking officials from other governments to go to Switzerland. Lobbying, Roman Polanski will eventually be released by the Swiss government, and he played a key role in it..."


    This program was then broadcast on the Fox Television Network under News Corporation, and the American public was in an uproar. This completely exceeded their past knowledge of Ryan. They would never have thought that Ryan Jenkins was in the incident last year. Actually stood on the opposite side of the public.


    Although knowing that politicians'' words are no different from farting, many people still subconsciously believe Blair''s words for a simple reason. Ryan Jenkins and Roman Polanski are both Jewish!


    When the matter was far from over, the major media under News Corporation closely followed the actions of Ryan and Disney¡¯s management. The Wall Street Journal then first reported the news that Ryan was subpoenaed by the Federal Department of Justice. Although this was just a routine questioning that lasted less than half an hour, the reaction to the stock market was no less than a storm.


    Walt Disney¡¯s recent troubles have seriously affected investors¡¯ confidence. Disney¡¯s stock has dropped again and again. The overall market value has dropped from US$89.7 billion at its peak to US$85 billion. Many of Disney¡¯s small shareholders have There have been complaints about this, and some investment institutions held by Wall Street are also quite dissatisfied.


    Strictly speaking Ryan did not expect Tony Blair to jump out, but there is nothing surprising, the relationship between the other party and News Corporation is close, even...


    He didn''t expect that his original trick would actually stabbed himself!


    That''s good, according to his plan, Tony Blair will definitely be dragged into the water, and the wonderful relationship between him and News Corporation is about to end.


    Perhaps Blair will become Rupert Murdoch''s most annoying person.


    As for the Roman Polanski incident he disclosed, it will cause some trouble, but not too much. After all, this incident happened in Europe. The people sent by George sent cash without leaving any evidence.


    Besides, News Corp. has the political power to support it, as does Walt Disney.


    Compared with these, Ryan''s first thing to do is to stabilize the interior of Walt Disney. (To be continued) r655

 Chapter 835： Will wolves become vegetarian?

    "I suggest giving up Lucasfilm."


    It was a director of Disney who was speaking on behalf of the interests of some investment institutions on Wall Street. "This acquisition has dragged Disney into a quagmire."


    This is Walt Disney''s routine board of directors. Compared with the last meeting, the atmosphere this time is more serious.


    Sitting in his seat, Ryan has never spoken much. The board said so, he is not surprised at all. People on Wall Street care about their own investment interests.


    If it can bring benefits, they support it, otherwise they will oppose it.


    "I agree with Mr. Tyrese," Crete Disney said, "Disney has paid a heavy price for this acquisition..."


    Listening to the other party¡¯s eloquent words, Ryan did not respond. This son of Roy Disney, except for his rhetoric and occasional ambitions, has little practical ability and experience. He can enter the board of directors. Roy Disney''s promise.


    "Disney is now full of negative news." Crete? Disney''s voice suddenly increased, "The management must be responsible for this."


    His eyes slowly turned to Ryan, and when he touched Ryan''s sharp gaze, he immediately closed it back.


    "Who will be responsible?" Ryan asked slowly.


    Crete? Disney opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, still gritted his teeth and said, "Ryan, most of the negative news is focused on you and the people around you. Now Disney''s market value has fallen by $5 billion. , Shouldn''t you be responsible for this?"


    "Oh?" Ed Kamel asked, "Then your opinion is..."


    "Resigned as chairman of the board."


    Without hesitation, Crete Disney said directly, ¡°This can stabilize investor confidence and believe that Disney¡¯s stock price will soon rise to its original height.¡±


    Just look at Crete? Disney. Just know that after Roy Disney''s death, the Disney family has since been ruined, and it is really not injustice at all.


    Shook his head. Ryan said, "Is anyone else thinking that? If you have an opinion on me. Feel free to post it."


    There was no sound in the conference room. Even if someone had such an idea, they would not say it directly. Everyone knew that unless Ryan voluntarily backed down, it would be impossible to force him to resign as chairman.


    The board of directors did not last long, mainly discussing the antitrust investigation currently accepted by Disney. In fact, it is not difficult for Disney to get out of it. As long as the driving force behind the scenes disappears, as long as a small fine is paid, the investigation will naturally end.


    After all, Disney is not the original Microsoft and today''s Apple and the future Google.


    As for other matters, Ryan had already discussed with Robert Iger and Cook Dick, and some things should not be known to too many people.


    News Corp¡¯s main target is focused on him. He himself is the target placed in the open. News Corp wants to distract him from this. Why didn¡¯t Ryan attract News Corp¡¯s main firepower to himself so as to secretly The layout is more convenient and quick to expand.


    The board of directors ended. Ryan and Nicole went back to their respective offices to put on dresses, left Burbank by car, and went to the Four Seasons Hotel to attend a charity dinner in the media industry. Many media industry giants will show up at the dinner, including the Murdoch couple.


    "Dear."


    Sitting in the back seat of the car, Ryan said to Nicole, "Remember to remind me that after this incident is over, Crete Disney will be removed from the board of directors."


    "The Disney family..." Nicole frowned.


    "You don''t have to worry too much now," Ryan shook his head, "This was not eight years ago, when we were going to borrow the Disney family to stabilize people. Now, there is no need for this."


    "I will ventilate with Ed and them."


    Speaking of. Nicole also found it funny, Crete? Disney delusional to force Ryan to resign. At least you have to look at the chips in your hand first


    Robert Iger, Cook Dick, Ed Kamel, together with the community of interests represented by her and Ryan, hold close to 65 percent of Disney''s equity. What will the Disney family use to regain Walt? Disney?


    "Don''t underestimate anyone, even if it is a recognized waste."


    When getting out of the car, Ryan whispered to Nicole, "He might be supported by someone."


    Ignoring the turbulent reporter paparazzi at all, under the protection of many bodyguards, Ryan and Nicole walked quickly across the red carpet and entered the hotel, all the way to the banquet hall where the charity party was held.


    They came late, and there were already quite a few people in the huge banquet hall, many of whom were acquaintances.


    For example, Summer Redstone, he took the initiative to come over to shake hands with Ryan. It seems that Viacom has never been a part of Viacom in the media that chased Ryan and Disney behind News Corporation these days.


    "Hey, Summer." Ryan deliberately reminded him, "Paramount still owes me a share of "Star Trek" and a loan."


    "I promise!" Summer Redstone did not have any expression on his skin grafted face, "If you belong to you, there will be no less than a cent."


    The two exchanged a few words casually, and then walked towards their respective seats. Ryan only reminded each other that it is okay to follow News Corp''s buttocks to pick up the bargain, but there are some things you should not do too much.


    Ryan and Nicole¡¯s seats are in the front row, and they are also the top richest people in the United States at the same table. They can also be regarded as old acquaintances, Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft.


    I shook hands with Paul Allen and his wife, and the two chatted, and the topic soon came to the Super Bowl in February.


    "It''s a pity." Paul Allen looked regretful. "After Tom Brady joined, our competitive level has soared. We also entered the Super Bowl for the first time this year, but we did not expect it to fall in the last half minute. ."


    "The structure of the Seahawks is reasonable and the running-in is mature." Ryan also watched the live broadcast of that game. "The Seahawks will be the most powerful contender for the Super Bowl in the next few years."


    Speaking of which, the Seattle Seahawks lost really badly.


    They are four points behind and have already attacked the opponent''s four-yard line. Although there is less than one minute left, it is enough for them with three offensive opportunities. Just one touchdown is enough to kill. Dead New England Patriots.


    Perhaps Tom Brady, who performed well in the entire court, lost his head and did not choose the safest and easiest running back to attack on the ground. Instead, he chose to pass the ball. More tragically, he caught the ball from the end line and outside. When the touchdown was only one yard, Tom Brady''s pass was intercepted by the New England Patriots, and the Seahawks lost the Super Bowl.


    Only two tables away from Ryan and Nicole, Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng are also chatting and laughing with people. Unlike Ryan, their eyes will scan Ryan''s table from time to time.


    With the fierce competition and the despicable means, the original alliance between the two sides has long disappeared. Rupert Murdoch knows this very well, and he also knows that Ryan must be under tremendous pressure now, even if it is the other party. He would not be surprised if he ran up to him and scolded him violently.


    But what he didn''t expect was that the other party''s expression was very relaxed. Even Nicole Kidman didn''t change his face after seeing him. Is this the acting skills of the Oscar actor and actress too good, or they are confident to regain it. The current situation that is about to collapse?


    Of course, Murdoch will not be surprised by this situation. There is a lot of life and death in the mall, and there are many people who continue to relax in public. This only shows that Ryan Jenkins has a strong psychological quality, just like the rumors. And fighting spirit.


    Unfortunately, some things can be solved without fighting spirit.


    Of course, Ryan saw the Murdoch couple, but didn''t care. When they reached their position, even if there was a deep hatred between the two sides, they would not tear their faces in public.


    Besides, it is not certain who will be the final winner.


    Charity evenings are nothing more than that, socializing, donating a suitable amount of donation, auctioning or buying some expensive but not of much practical value...


    Towards the end of the party, Murdoch and Wendi Deng suddenly came over.


    "Don''t mind talking in private, Ryan?"


    Standing at the table, Murdoch''s words were still full of politeness, but the arrogance of fully mastering the initiative was also revealed.


    "Why not?"


    Standing up, Ryan handed Nicole his arm, and Nicole took it, and followed Ryan to the direction of the terrace first.


    "It''s all fighting!"


    Wendi Deng muttered dissatisfiedly, and followed Murdoch with his arms.


    This is a spacious terrace. After Ryan walked in, he whispered a few words to the waiter, Nicole opened the handbag and handed the tip. The waiter immediately walked to the other guests and kindly asked them to leave this place temporarily. Place.


    Some people were naturally dissatisfied, but they saw that the person standing in the middle of the terrace was Ryan, and then the Murdoch couple walked in. They think of the disputes that are free of gunpowder in Hollywood and even the entire media industry. Even if they are full of curiosity, Take the initiative to withdraw from this place.


    Finding a table near the edge of the terrace, Ryan first opened up the chair for Nicole, waited for Nicole to sit down, then sat next to him, and then made a request to the Murdoch couple who followed. gesture. UU Reading


    There is no one else here, Ryan and Nicole have put away polite smiles long ago, and with the current situation on both sides, they are not polite at all.


    "Rupert." Ryan held the cup in front of him and slowly turned it by his hand, looking very rude, "Just tell me something."


    "Ryan..." Murdoch didn''t care. In his opinion, the winner didn''t need to care about this. "The competition between us should be over."


    "What conditions?" Ryan raised his eyebrows, and the world won''t lose pie.


    "You withdraw from this competition." Murdoch said directly.


    "Give up Lucasfilm, that''s it?"


    The other party has created such a huge momentum, just for this? Ryan didn''t believe it, just as he didn''t believe that wolves would change to vegetarianism. (To be continued)

 Chapter 836： Time to fight back

    "Lucas Pictures?"


    At this moment, News Corp. seems to have become the master of Lucasfilm. Rupert Murdoch confidently said, "This is not a condition, because Lucasfilm will definitely belong to 20th Century Fox."


    Ryan was silent. If ten people were randomly pulled out of the banquet hall, nine of them would have the same opinions as Murdoch, and the remaining one would think so even if he didn''t say it.


    The current situation is very obvious, he and Disney can only protect themselves, where there is still the power to expand.


    If another person controls Disney, he will definitely find ways to make peace with News Corporation and temporarily compromise.


    After thinking about it for a few seconds, Ryan spoke slowly, "Rupert, let''s be honest, what are your conditions?"


    "Twentieth Century Fox acquired Disney''s shares of hulu website at market price."


    The wrinkled old face faintly revealed the expression that a winner would have. Murdoch''s words also let Ryan thoroughly see the greedy side of the media tycoon.


    "News Corp. owns 40% of the priority investment right in the "Avatar" series, and enjoys the same proportion of all income rights; the superhero movies produced by Marvel Pictures will be distributed by 20th Century Fox; Disney will expand its financing for the next three times. Stocks, News Corporation has the priority investment right..."


    Hearing the conditions stated by Murdoch, Ryan''s expression gradually became serious. If Walt Disney were counted as a country, he promised to deal with the conditions of the party, which would undoubtedly sign a traitorous treaty.


    And most of the sales are for their own interests.


    "There is one last point..." Murdoch said suddenly and earnestly, "Ryan, give up the position of chairman of Disney. This is the best way to save Disney."


    "Rupert, if I agree to your terms." Ryan said with a faint sarcasm, "Do you think I can continue to sit as chairman of Disney?"


    Murdoch just smiled. Said nothing.


    He is not stupid either. Although he doesn''t know the words of asking prices and paying the money on the spot, he also knows the similar truth. Now he bids a very exaggerated price, if Ryan is sincere. I will definitely negotiate terms with him.


    This is an unspeakable and wonderful enjoyment process. Even if the status is as respected as he is, if strong and tough as Ryan can negotiate with him in a low voice, the personal satisfaction is even far more than it can bring. Interests.


    Is there anything more pleasant than stepping on someone whose wealth, net worth and even strength surpass them?


    Looking at the serious young man opposite, Murdoch wasn''t worried at all. He was enjoying this moment, and he was waiting for the next moment. Waiting for Ryan Jenkins, who is confident, tough and vicious, to give in.


    The other party is indeed a master of juggling, but compared with an old man like him, it is still a lot worse...


    "I reject!"


    The words that reached Murdoch''s ears were not high, but they were unusually clear and hard.


    "What?" he asked intentionally.


    "I reject your condition."


    With that said, Ryan had stood up, lazily went to see Rupert Murdoch, picked up Nicole, and was about to leave.


    "Mr. Jenkins, do you know what this means?" Murdoch stared at him closely.


    Ryan didn''t turn his head back, and walked out of the terrace. At the same time dropped the last sentence, "the.war!"


    Without stopping at the banquet, Ryan and Nicole drove directly to Beverly Hills. The car turned a few times, ditched the paparazzi behind, and entered the small villa of the Swift family. The Scotts and George were already waiting in the living room of the villa.


    "Mummy..."


    As soon as he entered the living room, Sandy, who was temporarily taken care of by Taylor, ran over and hugged Nicole, then turned his head and shouted affectionately to Ryan, "Dad...I miss you."


    Ryan squeezed her little face, walked over to the couch, and sat down. Taylor has brought coffee for him and Nicole, judging from the interaction between her and her parents. It seems that a preliminary consensus has been reached on Scarlett''s matter.


    of course. For what they are going to do next, these are all insignificances.


    "Sandy and I are going to the garden."


    Probably not wanting her daughter to hear the words behind, Nicole picked up Sandy and left the living room with Mrs. Andrea. Ryan glanced at Tyler, and she had no intention of leaving.


    "George, talk about your side first." He said.


    "Rodriguez is ready." George put down the coffee cup and said as simple as possible, "Also, Anthony Pelicano has a complicated relationship with the New York Post under News Corporation, and we have a lot of him. The evidence of the crime will be transferred to the Los Angeles police through a special channel from tomorrow, and the FBI will definitely intervene."


    "Nicole, let me talk about it."


    Taylor said, "The royal family is very angry. The current Prime Minister Gordon Brown has a very poor relationship with News Corporation, especially in the general election that will be held in May. News Corporation was originally a supporter of the Labor Party, but turned to support the Conservative Party. Cameron, this makes the entire Labor Party very dissatisfied."


    Cameron, the candidate of the Conservative Party, wears a pair of trousers with News Corp. This is something the entire UK knows, if...


    News Corp. will definitely affect Cameron.


    This incident also involves the royal family. Although the royal family and the House of Lords are indeed in decline, no one can deny their influence in the UK and the entire Commonwealth.


    "Our more than a dozen foundations have shorted News Corp stocks in hundreds of accounts." Scott said, "Ryan, if things are really as you said, News Corp. will only be among the five major media groups in the future. It''s at the end."


    Picking up the coffee cup and drank the bitter coffee, Ryan savored the aroma after the bitterness, "Now, it''s time for us to fight back!"


    It''s another new day. After breakfast, Rupert Murdoch walked out of Malibu''s beach house. Although he encountered some unexpected circumstances last night, it did not affect his good mood. Even if the other party refused, Can''t change the current situation.


    In his opinion, Ryan Jenkins has developed too smoothly in the past ten years, and he will only admit defeat when he encounters a bloodshed.


    By then, the conditions for negotiation will be more than just these.


    Sitting on a comfortable beach chair, Murdoch looked at the endless sea comfortably, wondering if he should add some conditions, Disney is the most delicious piece of cake...


    Suddenly, there was a rustle of footsteps on the beach from behind, and Wendi Deng hurried over.


    "What''s the good news?" He looked over, and saw a little anxiety and panic on his wife''s face, and he couldn''t help frowning.


    "British news." Wendi Deng tried to keep calm. "Scotland Yard arrested James this morning and announced that the "News of the World" suspected wiretapping incident was formally investigated?"


    "What?" Murdoch stood up from the beach chair, not at all like an old man nearly eighty years old.


    You know, James Murdoch is his most beloved youngest son, and he is also the successor of his internal News Corporation!


    "Rebecca Brooks was also arrested at the same time." Wendi Deng was talking about the head of News Corp.''s UK. She is also Murdoch''s goddaughter. "Scotland Yard just held a press conference and claimed to have received it. Key evidence."


    "Why didn''t we get the news?"


    Although the incident happened suddenly, after all, Murdoch has experienced countless ups and downs, and soon returned to calm, at least on the surface.


    "Our people just got news." Wendi Deng was not as calm as Murdoch, and spoke very quickly. "Tangning Street 10 intervened in this incident. Scotland Yard has launched a secret investigation since early February. The people we are connected to are all excluded."


    Early February?


    Rupert Murdoch turned his head and looked to the south. There was a cliff. The villa on the cliff was famous throughout the United States. It was the residence of Tony Stark in the movie. In reality, Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidd. Man¡¯s place of residence...


    Is it something to do with them?


    At this moment, Rupert Murdoch found that he still seemed to underestimate the young opponent.


    But now is not the time to think about this. He walked toward the villa and took his mobile phone, "Prepare the plane and go to London."


    However, the spread of the eavesdropping incident is much faster than Murdoch imagined. On his way to the airport, he has received dozens of calls, including TV, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo and Google. Almost all of the Disney-related media headed by such a large-scale hype this morning about the news that two senior executives of News Corp. in the UK were temporarily arrested by Scotland Yard for eavesdropping by the media.


    Although James Murdoch and Rebecca Brooks were soon released on bail , the paparazzi took a picture of the two walking out of the Scotland Yard building. This photo immediately became a hot spot on the Internet. The News Corp eavesdropping incident has also become a popular search term for Google and Yahoo.


    Subsequently, the New York Stock Exchange had just opened, and News Corporation¡¯s stock fell by 4% in an instant...


    This is just the beginning.


    While Disney¡¯s media outlets are doing their best to promote the unfavorable news of News Corp., other media are also not idle. Media companies such as Time Warner, Viacom, and Universal seem to have encountered an irresistible hurricane and immediately reversed the rudder. I temporarily left the news about Disney behind my head, and fully followed up on the news company wiretapping incident that was freshly released.


    In the afternoon, a new popular item called "Eavesdropping Door" appeared on many websites such as Google and Yahoo. As long as this item was opened, almost all the content was negative news from News Corporation.


    Compared to watching the lively public, the top people in the media industry and Hollywood know that Ryan Jenkins, who has been passively beaten, finally showed his fangs and strangled News Corp''s throat as soon as he shot it! (To be continued)

 Chapter 837： Eavesdropping door

    Rupert Murdoch started in Australia, and News Corporation¡¯s base camp spans the United Kingdom and the United States. If you want to shake their foundation, the United Kingdom is one side, and North America is the other more important.


    On the afternoon of the same day, the FBI¡¯s Los Angeles Branch Office and the Los Angeles County Police Department conducted a joint operation and arrested the famous ¡°Hollywood Eye¡± Anthony Pelicano. Holding a search warrant, they searched Pelicano. In houses in Burbank, West Hollywood, and Orange County, more than two million US dollars in cash were found, as well as some weapons and thousands of hours of wiretapping records.


    In particular, when investigating Pellicano¡¯s e-mails, the police found a large number of correspondence with the New York Post, which involved numerous eavesdropping and scandals.


    Subsequently, the police held a press conference and showed some evidence of Pellicano''s wiretapping. Although they did not announce which Hollywood stars have been wiretapped, everyone in Hollywood was in danger.


    In this part of the published evidence, the spearhead was directed at the New York Post under News Corp. The wiretapping scandal, which was hyped by Disney and other media, quickly spread to the world.


    It is not difficult for the public to imagine Lenovo¡¯s eavesdropping in the UK today, and eavesdropping is almost a common phenomenon for News Corporation.


    Only a day later, the FBI announced that it would take over the case of Pellicano, because he and the "New York Post" in the mail, not only involved the Hollywood company. Long. Wind. Literary figures, as well as some members of Congress and the families of the victims of 9/11!


    9/11 is a permanent scar in the hearts of the North American public. In this case, News Corp. has been involved with definite evidence. The public''s anger can be imagined. A large number of families of 9/11 victims have appealed to the federal government in the Disney media. The government thoroughly investigated this incident, and the Congress also held a special meeting for this!


    If it is said that in the past to discredit Iran, Disney used 50% of its ability to guide public opinion, but now it has used 120% of its ability.


    Over the past two months. Disney is really fed up with News Corp''s wimps, and management will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity to counterattack.


    In this incident, Disney''s powerful online media played an extremely important role.


    , Twitter, Facebook, Disney Ryan Home Online, and partners Yahoo and Google have almost completely guided the direction of public opinion in the United States.


    After entering March, the Oscars ceremony to be held soon has not attracted much attention. What the public is most concerned about is the progress of News Corp¡¯s "Eavesdropping Gate".


    In the United Kingdom, the Scottish scenes put pressure on No. 10 Downing Street and the royal family''s invisibility, showing an unprecedented level of efficiency.


    The series of eavesdropping they announced aroused the anger of the British public.


    Year 2003. "News of the World" was reported to have the possibility of wiretapping. Rebecca Brooks used 700,000 pounds to bribe the police to solve it secretly.


    In 2005, the royal family¡¯s phone call discussing Prince William¡¯s knee injury was tapped by News of the World.


    In 2008, James Murdoch used 1.2 million pounds to suppress the wiretapping case again.


    On March 4, the British media disclosed the scandal of "News of the World" in 2002 of eavesdropping on the voice mail of the missing girl Millie.


    One day in March 2002, a 13-year-old girl from London, England, Millie disappeared on her way home from school. Six months later, a mushroom picker found Millie''s body in the forest. The police finally confirmed that Millie was kidnapped and killed by a nightclub guard. But how long Millie lived after being kidnapped is still unclear.


    During Millie''s disappearance, "News of the World" hired a private investigator to eavesdrop on her mobile phone''s voice mailbox. The detective also deleted some of the information in the voice mailbox. In order to set aside storage space for the mobile phone to receive new information, it is conducive to "more news reports."


    This made Millie''s parents mistakenly believed that their daughter was still alive, and to some extent, it also interfered with the police''s investigation of the case.


    This action aroused public outrage from all walks of life in Britain. Become the "last straw" that overwhelmed the "News of the World".


    In order to calm the anger of the people, Murdoch had to announce the closure of the "News of the World", a tabloid newspaper that has gone through 168 years. At the end of this week.


    Affected by this, News Corporation¡¯s stock price plummeted, and there was obviously someone short-selling News Corporation¡¯s stock in the market. In just over a week, News Corporation lost nearly 10% of its market value, more than 5 billion U.S. dollars. Most of them fell into the pockets of more than a dozen foundations.


    Another obvious thing is that someone united with the vampires on Wall Street and swiftly suppressed the stock of News Corp.


    News Corporation, which was once infinitely beautiful, was completely plunged into wind and rain.


    With the deepening of the investigation, more and more British and American celebrities have appeared on News Corp''s eavesdropping list.


    Scotland Yard in the United Kingdom and the FBI in the United States have successively released a list of 6,000 people who have been tapped.


    Among them are British royal family members Eugenie and Princess Yorkby Atris, William and Prince Harry, actress Sienna Miller, British Minister of Culture, Media and Sports Tessa Jowell and his wife, and football star Ryan? Giggs and Paul Scholes and so on.


    In the United States, the victims include well-known actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the famous band Lincoln Park, the family members of the fallen American soldiers, and several unnamed congressmen and state senators.


    On March 6, the FBI summoned a number of News Corp executives and arrested the editor-in-chief of the "New York Post" and several managers.


    This is a land of extreme pursuit of freedom. News Corporation¡¯s actions have seriously violated the bottom line of the British and American public. Since the day the incident broke out, more and more people have gathered in front of News Corporation¡¯s headquarters in New York to protest. The executives of the group have all enjoyed rotten egg treatment.


    Those who are closely related to News Corporation are also following bad luck. Tony Blair is inevitably implicated in it. He has repeatedly suppressed News Corporation¡¯s scandals, and there is even evidence that he has quite a lot of relations with News Corporation. Unspeakable secret.


    Cameron has also become a victim of this incident. A large number of secret exchanges between him and News Corporation have been thrown into the media by his opponents. Now News Corporation is stinking, and those close to him will definitely get into countless troubles. Cameron, who had always had an advantage in the early part of the election, dropped sharply, and it is inevitable to lose the May election.


    However, within a week or so, the negative news surrounding Disney and Ryan disappeared without a trace, and the public''s attention was all attracted by the ¡®eavesdropping door¡¯, but they were ignored.


    After paying an almost negligible fine of 5 million U.S. dollars, the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department¡¯s Antitrust Bureau concluded their antitrust investigation against Walt Disney.


    Correspondingly, it is the FBI''s investigation of News Corp executives, including Les Hinton, the most important assistant who has served Murdoch for 52 years!


    In fact, Ryan knew very well that no matter what the final outcome of this incident was, he would not be able to cause substantial harm to Murdoch himself. Murdoch was completely different from Mel Gibson, and he did not expect to pass this incident. Able to send the other party to prison.


    So, pulling out the tiger¡¯s teeth and claws one by one is the best choice.


    Moreover, this can also provoke News Corp.''s internal fighting, and News Corp. will no longer be comparable to Walt Disney''s existence under external worries and internal troubles.


    On March 7, the eighty-second Oscars ceremony was held, the main media reports were still on the "eavesdropping door," rather than the biggest annual event in Hollywood.


    The reason is simple. In the morning local time in the UK, the Special Committee of the British Parliament released a preliminary investigation report on the News Corp telephone wiretapping series of scandals. This report severely accused Rupert Murdoch of turning a blind eye to the wiretapping within the group, and said it Not suitable for leading international media groups.


    In this 85-page report, three conclusions aroused widespread concern.


    First, the report stated that Murdoch was "pretending to be ignorant" about the "News of the World" reporter''s telephone wiretapping incident and was not suitable for leading News Corporation. The entire incident showed that News Corporation had a huge failure in the company''s corporate governance.


    Second, the report criticized more than a dozen news corporation executives and pointed out that they have been covering up scandals and misleading investigations, seriously interfering in judicial justice!


    Third, the British government and parliament are considering that if News Corporation still insists that this is a ¡®small mistake¡¯, it will force the Murdoch family to sell a series of media management rights such as Sky TV and The Times.


    At the same time, including the Royal Law Firm and other law firms representing the royal family, it has also announced that it will file a lawsuit against News Corporation.


    Subsequently, Murdoch changed his previous denial and published a full-page apology letter on the official website of News Corporation. We apologize for a series of serious wrongdoings. We apologize for the suffering suffered by the victim, and we regret it very much. Be able to take action early to solve the problem.


    To further express his ¡®regrets Murdoch personally called the home of the murdered girl Millie Doler to apologize.


    By now, the media tycoon fully understood that the incident was completely beyond his control.


    At 5 pm local time in Los Angeles, Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng appeared in front of the Kodak Theater, just in time for the end of the Oscar red carpet.


    The couple was greeted by the anger of the public on both sides of the red carpet. From the moment they stepped onto the red carpet, the shouts of "shameful", "sordid", "disgusting" and "criminal" have not stopped.


    Apart from other things, most Hollywood celebrities look at them with very unusual eyes. Perhaps these people dare not offend Murdoch, but they absolutely no longer have a good impression of News Corporation that may steal themselves in secret.


    Rupert Murdoch can no longer take care of the others. The reason why he hurried to the Kodak Theater was to meet Ryan. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 838： Fell to his head and broke blood

    "I said, don''t worry about it."


    In the VIP lounge of the Kodak Theater, Ryan whispered to Natalie next to him, "Disney is like a strong spring. The force it bounces back will be as hard as it is pressed."


    "I have always believed in you." Natalie''s face was relaxed.


    "How about your PR?" Ryan asked.


    During this period of time, Ryan had no time to take care of him, and had been busy with the layout of News Corp. Oscar public relations were completely handed over to Natalie and Harvey Weinstein.


    "I believe the judges have been intimidated by the two figures of US$792 million and US$2.898 billion."


    The person who came by was James Cameron. Although he was a competitor, he didn''t care, "I don''t know if those old stubborn groups will take a look at science fiction movies."


    In fact, he knows very well that cg animations and science fiction films alone are enough to kill the possibility of "Avatar" winning. If it were not for the unprecedented North American and global box office records, I am afraid they would not pay any attention to "Avatar".


    What choice would the old guys at Oscar make? James Cameron could figure it out with his toes. Now the Hurt Locker, which has a box office of only $17 million, is simply in line with their aesthetic standards and value orientation.


    The three people got together and said a few words, and James Cameron was about to leave. Before leaving, he said, "I''m waiting to witness the moment when history appears."


    There is still some time before the award ceremony begins. Ryan and Natalie are not eager to enter the theater''s main hall, socializing to those who come to say hello, and chatting about recent events.


    "Although I always think Alison and Scarlett are a little strange."


    Speaking of those two friends for many years, Natalie looked weird, "I didn''t expect it. They..."


    She waved her hand, as if she didn''t know what to say.


    "I hope it won''t affect their careers."


    Despite what he said, Ryan still understood. It is impossible to have no influence, but fortunately, both of them are rich in net worth. Acting and singing are more of interest and do not rely on income in this area.


    After a few words, George Clooney came over with a gentleman, and after greeting him, he said directly, "Ryan, I have some friends in politics, if you need help. Just talk. "


    "If there is a need, I will." Ryan casually polite.


    This is Hollywood, just like the overwhelming media that criticizes News Corp. When he needs help the most, those who stand by him are those who have been tested for many years. Most of them are acting as spectators or getting into trouble. When he had the upper hand, these people rushed to him and sold it.


    Ryan couldn''t figure out that this was the first person to speak out to help today.


    This is normal, in essence, including the original "Argo". Both he and George Clooney are taking advantage of each other and getting what they need.


    "The Murdochs are here."


    Just as George Clooney left, Natalie reminded Ryan.


    Ryan followed Natalie''s eyes, Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng were walking towards this side. The young Wendi Deng was okay, but a little tired. The old Murdoch had puffy eye bags and bloodshot eyes, like a criminal who had gone through the FBI and repeated interrogations.


    These are just appearances, and Ryan knows very well that if Murdoch can''t be completely suppressed, the opponent will become a man-eating wolf again after the other party slows down.


    From the moment the Murdoch couple appeared in the VIP lounge. Many people''s eyes were focused on him and Ryan, and those in the circle actually saw it very clearly. The ups and downs that lasted from a few months ago to the present are the struggle between these two men.


    Stand not far away. George Clooney suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, his own power did not join the industry that suppressed Disney, otherwise...


    Who would have thought that in the face of almost desperate difficulties, Ryan could even display such counterattacks, and firmly grasped the vitals of News Corp.


    Even though he was many years older, George Clooney admired Ryan''s methods very much, and Murdoch was not unjustly lost in this round.


    "Can you take a step to speak, Ryan."


    Perhaps Murdoch himself did not expect that in such a short period of time, he said something similar again.


    "of course."


    Ryan''s face was indifferent, without the joy or pride of a winner.


    Tilting his head, Ryan leaned in Natalie''s ear, "You can go in first, I''ll be there later."


    Seeing Natalie nodding slightly, Ryan followed behind the Murdoch couple, exited the VIP room, turned into a corridor, and entered a separate lounge.


    Although the person meeting was Murdoch, his bodyguard followed.


    There was no politeness on both sides, and they sat on two long sofas and fell into a brief silence.


    Even if he takes advantage of it, Ryan will not take it lightly. He never underestimates his opponent, let alone Rupert Murdoch.


    Murdoch didn¡¯t know how to speak. Just ten days ago, they were sitting relative to each other. At that time, he had the advantage, like a cat playing with a mouse, controlling the scene with ease. Now the situation... ¡­But completely converted.


    He has become a mouse, and the other is the cat that can stretch out its paws at any time!


    The difference is that Ryan Jenkins is as calm as the rumors, and there is no joy or anger in that indifferent face.


    The silence lasted for half a minute, and finally Murdoch took the initiative to break the deadlock.


    "Ryan..." His voice was extremely slow. It seemed that he had consumed most of his mind during the recent period, "News Corporation withdrew from the competition in Lucasfilm."


    Ryan shook his head slowly.


    "Pelicano, the editor-in-chief of the New York Post..." Murdoch thought for a while and added some people, "and those professional film critics who always attack you."


    Yes, just like the competition between most groups of this magnitude, the two sides will definitely return to the negotiating table in the end, but the time is definitely not now!


    So Ryan still shook his head.


    There was silence in the lounge again, and this quiet atmosphere was extremely depressing.


    Murdoch''s hand was shaking slightly, he had already taken the initiative to lower his head, what else would he want?


    But thinking about the attitudes of the British and American governments and mainstream society towards News Corporation, thinking that the Disney-led media is still fanning the flames, thinking that News Corporation has fallen 20% in market value, he can only continue to bow his head.


    "Your terms." Murdoch seemed to be ten years old, "Ryan, talk about it."


    "Mr. Murdoch!" Ryan''s words were full of distance. "You haven''t understood one thing yet."


    "What''s the matter?" Murdoch had to ask.


    "From the day News Corp. targeted my sister and daughter..."


    Ryan stood up, his face still indifferent, "This matter is no longer a simple business competition, there is still... private enmity!"


    After speaking, he left the lounge without looking back, leaving only the Murdoch couple with an indifferent back.


    "What does he want to do?"


    After the door of the lounge was closed, Wendi Deng said dissatisfied, "Want to start a full-scale war with News Corp?"


    Murdoch glanced at her, and Wendi Deng closed his mouth quickly.


    If the only opponent is Disney, Murdoch will not be afraid. Although News Corporation has encountered far more trouble than Disney, it is still a powerful media group.


    But the question is, his opponent is really only Disney?


    The people of the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as the faintly inclined governments of the two countries, do not say that other media groups that are swayed by the wind will definitely be as unlucky as they were happy to see Disney. The competition showed signs of decline. These guys and the group of vampires on Wall Street will inevitably rush up like sharks smelling blood. Under the leadership of Disney, they will tear News Corporation into delicious meat and swallow them without hesitation. Go inside.


    With the current situation facing News Corporation, how to deal with that group of greedy sharks?


    Especially within the group, a group of his trusted senior executives were investigated by Scotland Yard and the FBI. According to the situation he understands, it is very difficult for these people to completely break free from the accident. As a result, he controls the group. The intensity will be greatly reduced, and the internal opposition will certainly rise.


    Without thinking about it, Murdoch knew that even if the investigation on the ¡®Eavesdropping Door¡¯ was over, News Corp. would be greeted by a long period of internal fighting.


    Thinking of this, Murdoch leaned on the sofa and did not speak for a long time. This time he felt like he was really old.


    By now, he already wanted to understand the general course of the incident.


    Facing News Corp¡¯s aggressive offensive, Disney...No, Ryan himself, to be precise, dug a big hole directly. Not only did he not realize it, he thought everything was under control, so he obediently jumped in, and now he fell. Destroyed.


    "Activate all crisis public relations methods." Murdoch said to Wendi Deng, "strive to be in a more advantageous position before the next negotiation ."


    The two were not in the mood to attend the Oscars, and left the Kodak Theater with tense faces.


    In the Kodak Theater, the eighty-second Oscars ceremony has kicked off. Ryan did not enter the theater immediately after leaving the lounge. Instead, he took John into another lounge and told the bodyguards something. Until John left, he rested for a while before he walked into the theater and found his place while the singing and dancing on the stage attracted most of the people''s attention.


    Just sitting down, Natalie next to her cast a questioning look. Ryan shook her head slightly at her and gave her a relieved look.


    "Did I miss something?" he asked in a low voice.


    "We have got the best original screenplay and the best editing."


    Hearing Natalie''s words, Ryan smiled relaxedly, "This is really good news." (to be continued)

 Chapter 839： History is born at this moment

    "The one who won the best animated feature film is..."


    On the stage, Tina Fei opened the envelope in her hand, but everyone on the stage was not curious or guessing because the answer was too obvious.


    ""Flying House Tour", Peter Dougert!"


    Peter Dougert, who came to the stage to receive the award, was not too excited, and the person who received the gold thanked the person who should be thanked at will, and walked into the background.


    Pixar Studios has achieved three consecutive championships in the best animated feature film. Pixar''s production has been nominated, and other opponents accompany the run. Pixar''s production takes away the Golden Man. This scene has appeared too many times. The powerful Pixar work With the full support of Disney, Shimura firmly stands in the position of the industry leader.


    Compared to John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton, who were not surprised and unhappy on the stage, Jeff Katzenberg¡¯s face was not good-looking. He couldn¡¯t remember this was the first time that DreamWorks Animation Studios acted. The background of Pixar Studio.


    Fortunately, DreamWorks Animation is now a member of Disney, next year...


    Jeff Katzenberg looked at Ryan, who was sitting not far in front, and shook his head. DreamWorks Animation is likely to continue to accompany the run next year. After all, everyone knows that there will be not only "Toy Story 3" this year, but also The super masterpiece of Disney''s animation department "Frost Adventure".


    "This year''s ratings will be much better, right?"


    Taking advantage of the gap in the performance, Natalie asked Ryan in a low voice. Ryan nodded, "If the academy has made such a huge reform, it would be too tragic if it has no effect."


    In this year''s Oscars awards ceremony, the academy has indeed taken up the determination to reform. Not only did it make double yolk eggs on the host, it also revolutionized the number of nominations for the best film to ten!


    Although the list includes "Hurt Hurt", "Serious Man", "Growth Education" and other terrible box-office movies, there is no shortage of movies with a broad audience base such as "Avatar", "Shameless Basterds" and "Flying House Tour". Even senior movie fans understand that these high-box office movies are not very competitive in important awards, but they can always drive some ratings.


    This is the fact. When only the last four awards were left, Christopher Waltz of "Shameless Mashup" took away the best supporting actor, "Flying House" took away the best animated feature film and best original soundtrack, "Avatar" Only three comforting technical awards for best photography, best visual effects and best art direction were won.


    And "The Hurt Locker", which has less than a fraction of "Avatar" at the box office, not only won two technical awards for the best sound effect and the best sound effect editing, but also the best editing and the best editing that directly related to the attribution of the best film. Jia Yuan wrote two important awards for the script.


    Oscar''s discrimination against science fiction films and films made entirely on cg technology is undoubtedly revealed.


    Of course, this is not a secret, anyone who has studied Oscars a little will understand that it is normal for "Avatar" to suffer from Oscar discrimination.


    Although before the awards ceremony, many media hype "Avatar" is the biggest hit. But people like Ryan and Cameron understand that this is just hype. The media hype is based on the unprecedented high box office of "Avatar" and the "Titanic" that once crushed the Oscars.


    They deliberately overlooked one point, that is, "Avatar" and "Titanic" are completely different.


    The latter is based on real historical events, and even the prototypes of Jack and Ruth can be found in passengers. To a certain extent, it belongs to the category of real movies.


    As for the former, it is a complete science fiction film.


    "Will Meryl win the best actress?"


    I heard Natalie''s question. Ryan shook his head, "It''s difficult, if there is no accident, the best actress should be given to Kate Winslet."


    That''s right. With "Julie and Julia", Meryl Streep broke her record of nominations in the performance awards and won the sixteenth Oscar nomination. Unfortunately, she has never been a PR, and it is almost impossible for her to win.


    And "Readings of Life and Death", which was forcibly suppressed by Ryan and Disney for a year, was finally released this year. The role qualifications do not fall behind, and he is actively working on public relations, Kate Winslet is still very likely to win the award.


    "Congratulations Kate Winslet!"


    It was her name that sounded on the stage. What Ryan didn''t expect was that Kate Winslet deliberately stopped beside him when he passed by. On this occasion, Ryan had to hug her.


    After this hug, the friendship that the two had established on "Titanic" and the enmity they had suppressed last year have all disappeared.


    Others may not be aware of Ryan¡¯s moves, but Natalie knows very well. Just like this year¡¯s Oscar, Ryan has also done a lot of work, taking advantage of various socio-political situations and even excluding PR for the awards season. It is the identity of the Jewish ethnicity, which created too many favorable conditions for "The Hurt Locker".


    When George Lucas stepped onto the stage, Natalie held Ryan''s hand tightly. She, who had barely felt before, was suddenly suffering from gains and losses. This is the best condition and situation. If you miss this For one term, even she herself didn''t know how many more years she would have to wait.


    Even, it is possible that the first best female director will fall on someone else.


    Even as strong as Natalie, it is impossible to be completely unaffected by fame and fortune, not to mention the unprecedented great honor of Best Actress and Best Director.


    "The academy is really going to rewrite history." Ryan whispered.


    "What?" Natalie flipped her lips slightly, "George is best at science fiction movies, isn''t it..."


    "My dear, I think you overlooked one thing." Ryan gently scratched Natalie''s palm. "George can be said to be your teacher in directing."


    Natalie''s brown eyes instantly became brighter.


    Ryan¡¯s statement is not wrong. When filming the "Star Wars" trilogy, Natalie asked George Lucas a lot of directorship questions in addition to filming.


    Of course, these are all Ryan¡¯s guesses. Who can win the best director depends on the results announced by George Lucas.


    "The following five directors have been nominated for best director."


    On the stage, George Lucas has finished the string of words and is introducing the nomination list, "James Cameron "Avatar", Lee Daniels "True Love", Natalie Portman "The Hurt Locker", Quentin Tarantino "Inglourious Basterds", Jason Reitman "In the Clouds"."


    "The Oscar winner is..."


    Natalie maintained a graceful smile, and only Ryan could feel her tension.


    Will history be born here?


    "Oh, this is really an amazing achievement." George Lucas has opened the envelope, "Congratulations to Natalie Portman, Oscar''s first best female director!"


    History is born at this moment!


    "Is it me, Ryan?"


    Natalie stood up with the people around, "Is that me?"


    "Congratulations, dear."


    Ryan opened his hand and gave Natalie a hug, and then everyone around him gave Natalie a congratulatory hug.


    The applause was like a hurricane, sweeping the entire Kodak Theater, and the audience and guests who had witnessed a moment in history stood up and applauded.


    In this piece of applause that almost overturned the roof, Natalie stepped onto the stage, first embraced George Lucas, and then took over the Golden Man who represented the best director.


    "Thank you, thank you George, he is my director in the field of director, he is the leader of my successful entry into the director industry."


    Standing at the forefront of the stage, Natalie looked very excited, "This is the most important moment in my life. In 1992, I was in London. On my way to Poland, I was thinking about becoming a director in the future. At that time I did not expect that one day I would stand on the Oscar stage as a director."


    After taking a few deep breaths, Natalie gradually calmed down, "Thanks to the academy, to the Disney screenwriters, and thank you for risking your lives to Iraq and writing this script."


    "Thank you to all the actors. I think the secret to making a good movie is to work together. I thank all the staff of the crew for their hard work, the producer Mr. George Clooney, and the warm hospitality Israel has given us at the filming location."


    "Finally, I want to thank my relatives, my parents gave me the best education, Ryan Jenkins inspired all my passion for movies, thank you!"


    After the announcement of the award, Natalie did not fully enter the backstage, but stood at the entrance of the stage, waiting for the best picture award result.


    Tom Hanks stepped onto the stage, and after a few short words, he began a long list of best picture nominations, "Avatar James Cameron and Jon Landau, "Shameless Bastard." Lawrence Bender, Alexander Despra in "The Flying House", George Clooney and Natalie Portman in "The Hurt Locker", The Cohen Brothers in "The Serious Man"..."


    It took more than five minutes for the ten nominated films to be introduced due to the need to match the big screen .


    Then Big Tom opened the envelope and read the answer that was no longer suspenseful, "The best film is "The Hurt Locker" George Clooney and Natalie Portman!"


    Natalie once again stepped onto the stage and took over the Golden Man who represented the best film with George Clooney, and took the initiative to give George Clooney the opportunity to speak.


    "This film surpassed our dreams. We are standing here today. The feeling is very unreal. Thank you to the Academy for giving us such an honor, to Ryan and the Disney Company for their strong support, and to all the actors."


    After finally getting on the stage, this Hollywood political star will certainly not give up the opportunity to show political correctness. "Finally pay tribute to the beauties in the Middle East. We will protect each other in every corner of the world!"


    The eighty-second Oscars ceremony came to an end, and "The Hurt Locker" became the biggest winner. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 840： Derailed

    The annual Oscar awards ceremony came to an end again. This past night of awards belonged to Natalie and her filming team. They swept through the Oscars awards like a storm, the best director and the best actress. The addition of the Little Golden Man also created a new Oscar legend.


    However, even such a hot Oscar news cannot completely occupy the front page of the media. The constantly fermenting News Corp''s "Eavesdropping Gate" has successively refreshed the public''s perception of this media company.


    When the new one came on Monday, the FBI released a latest investigation report on News Corp. It directly pointed out that News Corp was not only eavesdropping on the telephones of the families of the victims of 9/11, the families of American soldiers who died in action, and many members of Congress. It is also suspected of wiretapping the phone of the Olympic election team during the presidential election...


    The incident gradually involved many high-ranking government officials, and the White House spokesperson even urged the FBI to conduct a more in-depth investigation as soon as possible during a regular press conference.


    In this case, Ryan left Los Angeles.


    He first went to Washington and visited Ohetan and several members of Congress in private.


    Then flew to London, attended a reception banquet of the British royal family, and met Gordon Brown, the owner of No.10 Downing Street at the banquet.


    Ryan is in action, and Murdoch is no exception. News Corp. has increased its crisis public relations efforts to save itself.


    But what happened next made News Corp¡¯s situation more difficult.


    A week later, the main whistleblower of the "Eavesdropping Gate" incident, former ¡°News of the World¡± executive Sean Hall, died at home. Scotland Yard again arrested James Murdoch and Rebecca Brooks, despite the police. This proved to be an accident, but under the inducement of many media, the public naturally linked the death to the killing.


    At the same time, the FBI''s investigation into Murdoch''s right-hand man Les Hinton has never stopped, facing various pressures. Les Hinton was forced to announce his resignation and completely withdraw from News Corporation.


    Murdoch lost the most important piece in the control of News Corp.


    At this moment, it seems that, except for News Corp¡¯s own media, everyone in the world is standing on the opposite side of Rupert Murdoch.


    Walt Disney is definitely the leader of this public opinion movement, and Universal, Viacom, Time Warner, Hearst Group, etc. have also followed suit.


    When the time entered the second half of March, News Corp. had already been precarious, and its stock had fallen 28% compared to February.


    The British Parliament also held the first hearing on the ¡®Wiretapping Door¡¯ incident. Murdoch and Wendi Deng were present in person to receive questions. At the end of the questioning, an accident happened.


    During the live broadcast, a man wearing a checked shirt and sitting in the back row of the auditorium suddenly stood up, walked quickly to the witness stand, and smashed Murdoch with a paper plate full of shaving foam in his hand. go with.


    The others were stunned. No one realized that the attacker should be stopped, and perhaps no one really wanted to stop. Murdoch seemed to froze in his seat, and the police did not respond immediately.


    Wendi Deng jumped up from the chair like lightning. Flying forward, his right arm drew an arc in the air, and his right palm slapped the attacker''s face severely...


    The old couple and young wife are on live TV in front of the audience in the entire Western world. There was a ¡®Love Show¡¯.


    After the hearing accident happened, a large number of reports about Wendi Deng flying as a guardian soon appeared in some media. Some people said that Wendi Deng showed extraordinary courage and should be awarded the title of "Wife of the Year"; The slow response of the police in the court pales in comparison"; there is also the "Guardian" under News Corporation. Said that she demonstrated the meaning of a model couple at the hearing.


    Through television, the Murdoch watch attacked scenes were presented to the public, which effectively alleviated the anger of the government and the public over the eavesdropping incident. The situation faced by Murdoch and News Corporation has been improved to a certain extent. Some well-known public relations people even believe that News Corporation¡¯s recent hiring of a well-known American public relations firm to improve its corporate image is not as effective as Deng Wendi¡¯s slap.


    "A very beautiful crisis PR!"


    This is Ryan¡¯s first reaction after seeing the live broadcast. This kind of scene is okay to deceive the public. In the eyes of the industry, it is just a public relations show. Murdoch easily won a lot of sympathy points with this behavior. News Corp. also praised him and Wendi Deng as model couples.


    "Model couple? Show affection?"


    After reading the latest report, Ryan called George and asked him to send someone to inform Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, that it was ready to start.


    He never finishes playing cards at once. Rodriguez has collected a lot of interesting things. Isn''t it very interesting to release them after the Murdoch couple show their affection?


    Two days later, the latest issue of Vanity Fair published the ¡®collected¡¯ diary of Wendi Deng, unreservedly revealing Wendi¡¯s admiration for Blair.


    Wendi Deng wrote several''fluffy love letters'' in his diary in poor English, "Oh, damn, oh, damn... Why do I miss Tony so much, he is so charming and well-dressed. He has great He has very long legs and great buttocks. Not only that, but he is thin and tall and has good skin. I love his blue eyes and his style on stage..."


    In addition, "Vanity Fair" also published several photos.


    In the photo, Blair and Wendi Deng fed each other for dinner at Murdoch¡¯s California farm. The servants of the farm revealed that they saw Blair enter Wendi Deng¡¯s room with their own eyes and closed the door. He was in her at least three times. Overnight in the bedroom.


    This news was quickly reposted by major websites, newspapers, and radio and television stations. In less than half a day, it spread all over the world, and the whole world was in an uproar...


    The incident of Ryan''s illegitimate daughter some time ago was simply not enough to look at in the face of the triangle relationship between Blair, Wendi Deng and Murdoch.


    Then a newspaper pointed out that Wendi Deng and Murdoch''s love is nothing more than a show, and that the attack was nothing more than a PR behavior by News Corp. The whole world was deceived by them.


    If there were people who doubted whether this was slander before, but after News Corporation¡¯s various lies-filled behaviors were exposed, the public no longer believed in News Corporation¡¯s media at all.


    Although all three of the parties strongly denied it, a few days after the derailment was fermented, Tony Blair was forced to resign from all positions in the Labor Party, and the New York newspapers also broke the latest news. Murdoch was so angry that Notify the lawyer to handle the divorce with Wendi Deng as soon as possible.


    After confirming the fact that Murdoch was about to divorce Deng Wendi, George personally flew to New York and met with Deng Wendi secretly.


    The enemy''s enemy is his friend, and Ryan believes that this sentence still makes sense.


    According to the prenuptial agreement, Wendi Deng and Murdoch divorced normally, and he received a maximum of about 30 million US dollars in property. For the previous Wendi Deng, this is already an astronomical figure, but Wendi Deng went from studying abroad to climbing Murdoch. Mrs. K''s position, how much thought has been spent, this property is far from satisfying her.


    Under normal circumstances, even if she has an idea, it is difficult to realize it.


    But now it''s different. Murdoch is facing a dilemma. News Corp. is almost forced to collapse by opponents. If she doesn''t even know how to use this, then she is not Wendi Deng.


    Sure enough, shortly after the meeting with George, Wendi Deng¡¯s lawyer held a press conference to confirm the fact that she and Murdoch were about to divorce, and at the same time made many requests for the division of property, and will be sued by law.


    Even if Murdoch holds a prenuptial agreement, this kind of divorce involving property and other relationships is bound to become a protracted divorce battle, and the intensity will not be less than that of Murdoch and the same prenuptial agreement. The divorce battle of the ex-wife.


    More serious than the divorce is that as a pillow, Wendi Deng has mastered many of News Corporation''s secrets. Compared with the division of property, this is the real killer.


    Surrounded by powerful external enemies, the backyard has caught fire. This is the situation of Rupert Murdoch.


    The attack is not over. The British side refused to release James Murdoch and Rebecca Brooks on bail on the premise that they have a lot of evidence, and officially announced that they have entered the prosecution process...


    At this moment, Murdoch can only adopt tail docking tactics, his son James Murdoch and goddaughter Rebecca Brooks have resigned from all positions in News Corporation.


    At this point, Murdoch used to control the three important chess pieces of News Corporation, all of which were knocked out.


    In New York, sitting in a new 10,000-square-foot Manhattan apartment that was purchased at a high price of US$57.25 million at the beginning of this year, Murdoch has long lost his former look. His face is decadent, his bags under his eyes are drooping, and his eyes are gray like a Ordinary old people who are about to die.


    His eyes slowly swept across the luxurious hall, which was specially purchased at the beginning of the year to celebrate the upcoming victory of Lucasfilm, but now it has become a joke.


    The famous paintings hanging in the hall, the carpets on the floor, the Italian lighting hanging from the ceiling, and the silver coffee pot in front of...


    In short All of this, in Murdoch''s eyes, suddenly has a big mouth, and they are laughing at him mercilessly!


    Laughing at his irresponsibility! Laugh at his ecstasy! Laugh at his failure! Laughing at him for becoming a sad derailed person!


    Murdoch was as cold as falling into an ice cave. The empire he built in 50 years was forced to the brink of collapse by a young man who was just 30 years old.


    Yes, News Corporation still has power, News Corporation can survive, and even bite Disney before it collapses...


    The question is, is it worth it?


    Even if News Corp can bite Disney fiercely, Disney will be able to return to normal within a few years, but News Corp will fall into hell.


    He can''t watch his empire collapse! Murdoch finally made up his final determination. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 841： Ryans condition

    After entering April 2010, everything at Disney seemed to be back on track. James Cameron easily won three lawsuits and proved the innocence of "Avatar" with the law; Tolkien''s copyright Vito agency took the initiative to stand. Come out to clarify that Disney has not concealed the box office revenue of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and is looking forward to the birth of the "The Hobbit" trilogy. ? top? point? Novel x.


    Most importantly, in the 20th century, Fox withdrew from the competition with Lucasfilm. Disney quickly reached a preliminary agreement with Lucasfilm. Disney will use a total of 3.96 billion U.S. dollars in cash and stock. 100% acquisition of Lucasfilm.


    Of course, the target of the stock exchange is limited to the shares in the hands of George Lucas.


    At the same time, Crete Disney was removed from the Disney board. Apart from a small shareholding, the Disney family has no other relationship with The Walt Disney Group.


    And his vacated director position will be taken over by George Lucas.


    Ryan¡¯s partner for many years, the famous Hollywood female producer Catherine Kennedy, will serve as the co-chairman of the new Lucasfilm.


    People in the industry understand that Disney has won a crucial battle.


    The joining of Lucasfilm also made up for the last shortcoming of Disney. Walt Disney owns the world''s most powerful film special effects company-Industrial Light and Magic!


    It was in this situation that Ryan received separate calls from the head of the New York Chapter of the National Jewish Association and Summer Redstone. On the yacht off California, a visitor, Rupert? Murdoch.


    "This is Longjing from China before the rain..." Ryan beckoned to Taylor, "There are advantages to the black tea we are used to."


    This is the top deck of the yacht. Taylor, who specially came to watch the''lively'', temporarily acted as a waiter. She walked over with a celadon teapot and served Ryan, Summer Redstone and Rupert Murdoch one by one. Filled up, and then sat next to Ryan, with royal blue eyes. Always circle around Murdoch.


    "I heard Nicole say..." Summer Redstone put down his teacup and said to Taylor, "Are you going to quit the showbiz?"


    "I have this plan."


    Taylor looked polite, but his tone was a little weird, "I''m learning to be Ryan''s assistant."


    "Your father is a business genius." Summer Redstone laughed, "I believe you will do well."


    "Thank you..." Taylor smiled similarly, "It''s not as good as Mr. Lei Shidong."


    "Summer, don''t listen to her." Ryan looked at Tyler and shook his head. "She hasn''t played enough yet. Even if she quit the showbiz, it will be a few years from now."


    After saying hello, Rupert Murdoch has not said much. At this moment, looking at the girl who is called the "Disney Princess" on the opposite side, he understands that his current situation has a great relationship with her. If it is not for her to be another If the little girl is involved, the situation that News Corp faces may be much better.


    His eyes turned to Ryan again, and the opponent gave him the same feeling as a year or even a few years ago, without the arrogance of a winner. There is no overwhelming ecstasy, and his attitude towards him does not seem to have changed, just as things have never happened in recent months.


    Murdoch knew this was just one side of Ryan Jenkins, the other side of the other side. He has fully felt it these days.


    If you go back in time, will you not compete with Walt Disney for Lucasfilm?


    At this moment, Murdoch had some regrets, and he thought he paid enough attention to Ryan. But this lack of attention has finally led to the bitter fruit of today.


    The topic went back and forth, Ryan never took the initiative to mention News Corporation-related matters. Since Murdoch is here to seek peace, he must always show a bit of sincerity. If he doesn''t even have the consciousness to speak first, there is probably not much need to talk about the following conditions.


    He can continue to wait, does Murdoch and News Corp have so much time?


    "Speak frankly, Ryan."


    Probably tired of Ryan and Taylor''s tacit understanding of the topic, Murdoch finally couldn''t help it. After all, News Corp stocks are falling every minute, "What do you want?"


    Hearing Murdoch''s opening, Redstone instantly regained his silence. He could act as a middleman, but he wouldn''t get involved.


    "Twentieth Century Fox holds all the copyrights of the "Star Wars" series and the equity of the hulu website." Ryan dissipated the smile on his face and said very seriously, "Disney and my foundation will buy them separately at market prices. "


    "can."


    Before coming, Murdoch had expected it, and this was not beyond his expectation.


    "Anyone who hurts my sister and daughter will be punished accordingly." Ryan said to himself, regardless of whether Murdoch answered or not, "I know you have a deal with film critics and expose them."


    Murdoch was a little surprised, just these conditions? He seems to be too big, right?


    "I heard that you have always wanted to split News Corporation''s paper media and film and television industries?" Ryan did not mean Murdoch to answer at all. "Rupert, I think the split into News Corporation and Fox Group will be A good choice."


    Although it is strange that Ryan would know his thoughts, Murdoch nodded. This is indeed his plan for the future News Corporation.


    Ryan knows this, and it is natural that the former News Corporation has taken this path.


    However, this is not the point, Ryan said slowly, "Rupert, if I remember correctly, you are almost 80 years old and it''s time to retire."


    Murdoch immediately changed his face when he said this.


    If he loses all positions in the group and the two companies that he split up will not be completely under his control. Even if his son and daughter succeed him, he cannot guarantee that they will be one mind with him. What''s more, he prefers his youngest son James Murdo. As everyone knows, James is now facing protracted lawsuits and even jail time, and it is almost impossible for him to succeed.


    Where are the eldest son and daughters?


    Their relationship with him can only be said to be ordinary, but they are more intimate with their ex-wife, and the conflicts within the Murdoch family are quite sharp. When he controls News Corporation, he can suppress the conflicts between his children. If he steps down, it is almost imaginable. , The next few years will inevitably be a battle for production.


    And in order to protect itself, it can also influence News Corp. The two new group companies certainly cannot be handed over to one person, so in the future...


    This will be two companies moving further and further apart.


    With his eyes turned slightly, Murdoch looked at Redstone. This condition of Ryan is not only in the interests of Disney, but also in the interests of other media groups. Without thinking about it, those people will definitely support Ryan on this. News Corporation, which is no longer a behemoth, is definitely what other competitors are willing to see.


    He wanted to refuse very, very much. It''s just that the situation of News Corp...


    Who else can they rely on?


    Help yourself? If he could save himself, he would not come here.


    That group of politicians in Washington? In the face of this unprecedented crisis, it would be good for the group of politicians not to fall into trouble.


    Wall Street? What the group of vampires wanted was profit, and they didn''t care who was helping them.


    Now that News Corp¡¯s market value has fallen by one-third, if it continues, it is not impossible to fall by half. I am afraid that the vampires of Wall Street will unite the current major media groups and shred the media empire he has created. Then it was divided up.


    At that time. All his enemies will stand up.


    Ryan did not expect Murdoch to give the answer now. If he agreed immediately, he would really doubt whether the person sitting in front of him created Rupert Murdoch of News Corporation.


    The two sides discussed other things and reached consensus on other issues.


    The meeting did not last too long. Summer Redstone and Rupert Murdoch quickly left by helicopter.


    "Do you think Murdoch will agree?"


    Stretching a long waist, Tyler lay on the table and asked, "It''s my word. I''d rather fight with Disney to hurt both sides."


    "What is he fighting with Disney now?" Ryan shook his head. "The White House, Congress, the FBI, Scotland Yard, Ten Downing Street, and the British royal family are all staring at News Corp. If you can use the current opportunity They will certainly not let it go to get some benefits from it."


    "There are also Wall Street and other media groups." Taylor propped his chin. "I heard my father talk about it. Wall Street has long wanted to oust Murdoch."


    "Because he is not our own."


    This is a country of immigrants, but compared to the ¡®pure¡¯ American identity that occupies Wall Street and Ryan and others, Rupert Murdoch and the entire Murdoch family are still outsiders.


    In addition, News Corporation¡¯s unrestricted eavesdropping behavior has violated the interests of Congress and the White House. If the federal government, surrounded by certain people, is determined to attack a certain group, it is also a very terrifying thing.


    Although the federal government¡¯s **** is dirtier than News Corporation, this is not something that''you can do and I can do it''.


    Frankly speaking, Ryan has the determination to completely destroy News Corporation, but more is just staying in the imagination.


    For one thing, it is more difficult. Now is the period of rapid development for Disney. Doing so will definitely affect Disney''s business.


    Secondly, if it really turns into an uncompromising war The person who has benefited the most is certainly not Disney. Other media groups and Wall Street are eyeing each other, and they will rush to divide the battle at any time. It is very reasonable to fight for the profit of the fishermen.


    A week later, new news came from New York. Murdoch resigned from his positions in various companies of News Corporation in the name of retirement. News Corporation also announced an optimized reorganization. After the reorganization, it will be divided into News Corporation and Fox Group. They are in the charge of Murdoch''s eldest son and eldest daughter.


    At the same time, Disney quickly settled the negotiations with Twentieth Century Fox and bought out the copyright of the "Star Wars" series in their hands at an ultra-low price of $100 million, paving the way for the restart of the series.


    The foundation under Ryan''s name bought 45 percent of the shares of Hulu, the second largest video site in the United States, from 20th Century Fox.


    Of course, those who follow News Corporation and continue to violate the law will also be severely punished by the law.


    Especially Anthony Pelicano who provided photos of Taylor and Sandy for the New York Post. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 842： Thumb down

    When the time came to the end of April, with the cooperation of Walt Disney, the pressure faced by News Corporation was suddenly reduced. They split into News Corporation, which is dominated by print media, and Fox Group, which is dominated by the film and television industry. The action is also being carried out in an orderly manner, and without Disney fanning the flames behind the scenes, the pressure from the political circles of the United Kingdom and the United States has also been much less, especially their active splitting behavior has also met the interests of many people in London and Washington. .


    What remains unchanged is that the internal struggle of News Corporation is still fierce. Murdoch¡¯s sons and daughters are ready to move. In the next few years, the battle for production will be a curse that plagues News Corporation and Fox Group. After the two companies are separated, Murdoch will also It''s impossible to behave like before.


    On April 25, the Los Angeles District Court ruled that Anthony Pelicano was convicted of 78 counts of wiretapping, computer fraud, and wire fraud, and sentenced to 25 years in prison.


    The "eavesdropping door" incident that made everyone in danger of Hollywood stars come to an end, Hollywood nightmare awakened.


    Anthony Pellicano is a smart man who did not choose to appeal. He was silent in the face of the media and repeatedly stated that he would never betray his customers or sell his story. The secret is always a secret.


    This is a very wise approach. If he trades with the media, many people will find a way to shut his mouth completely, otherwise Michael Douglas''s son in prison will be his sign for the previous car.


    New York [³¤][Feng Mian, the editor-in-chief and several editors of the New York Post will also face more than ten years of imprisonment. They were completely abandoned by News Corporation and naturally became Murdoch used to eliminate Switzerland. Enxin''s angry scapegoat.


    In London, although James Murdoch was exempted from prosecution, he was deported by the British government and declared him an "unpopular person." Murdoch''s youngest son had no connection with the UK and could only return to New York. And this is exactly the situation that Ryan wants. In the battle for property within the Murdoch family, one party has been added, and it will be more intense and beautiful in the future.


    James Murdoch was able to get out of the prison, and Murdoch¡¯s goddaughter Rebecca Brooks became the scapegoat for Britain¡¯s ¡®wiretapping the door¡¯, and she would face at least 15 years in prison.


    Subsequently, the Fox Group took the initiative to expose a list, claiming that professional film critics including Roger Albert, David Denby, jr Jones and other professional film critics have been attacked by the former Tom of the 20th Century Fox in the attack on "Avatar". At Rothman''s instructions, the Fox Group has dismissed Tom Rothman from all positions. And sincerely apologize to the "Avatar" crew for this matter.


    The former well-known film critics would certainly not admit it, but the Fox Group showed a bill and transfer list, in which seven-figure money was transferred to Roger Albert¡¯s studio account. Not only that, in the 20th century. Fox also exposed his private dealings with professional film critics such as Roger Albert in the 1910s.


    Yes, this was Ryan''s request, and it was also Murdoch deliberately. After these news were exposed, most of the public''s attention was shifted to film critics. To a considerable extent, it has weakened the pressure faced by News Corp.


    Professional film critics have once again become the center of the film industry, but unfortunately their reputation has become inaudible.


    "It turns out that they haven''t even achieved relative justice..."


    "I will never trust film critics anymore."


    "Sure enough, like Ryan and James Cameron said, professional film critics are a group of greedy vampires!"


    The sentiment on the Internet is exciting. Professional film critics are directly equated with liars, assholes, and disgusting vampires.


    A profession that once was able to stir up the film market has completely embarked on the sunset. The profession of professional film critics has become a place that has been cast aside by the public, and the future will inevitably be the film era of public comment.


    Also in this month. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also convened a press conference to announce the cancellation of the membership of a group of film and television critics led by Roger Albert and David Denby, and claimed that they are characters that Oscars would never welcome.


    This is extremely rare in the history of the college. Professional film critics headed by Roger Albert can be regarded as written into the history of Hollywood.


    Maybe it was stimulated by the continuous blows, or maybe the old disease relapsed. A few days later, Roger Albert''s condition suddenly worsened, but in one night, he said goodbye to the world.


    To Roger Albert¡¯s family, thousands of fans attended Roger Albert¡¯s funeral, but the scene at the funeral made them shocked and angry. The vast majority of fans reacted to Luo. Jay Albert gave a thumbs up, but the direction of the thumb was toward the ground!


    Among them, the words written on Optimus Prime posters held high by some "Transformers" fans most appropriately reflect the perception of Roger Albert by ordinary fans.


    "You never mind using the most vicious language to attack the results of his years of hard work. You are like an insatiable mosquito. In the most dirty and despicable way, you lie down on others and **** blood. Laugh at the person who provided you with blood!"


    Of course, this is the spontaneous behavior of movie fans. Even if Ryan and Disney have time, they will not continue to care about such a group of small people, a group of people destined to be nailed to the stigma of North American film history.


    After the official acquisition of Lucasfilm, Walt Disney ushered in good news one after another.


    After nearly half a year of screening, the North American box office of "Avatar" officially exceeded US$800 million, and it was downgraded from North America with US$811.13 million. In terms of global box office, the terrifying figure of US$3 billion is not the end. In some remote countries and regions, the last bit of profit is slowly harvested.


    As a follower of "Avatar", "Alice in Wonderland"''s North American box office exceeded 350 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office easily passed the 1 billion U.S. dollar threshold.


    In short, stimulated by this series of good news, Disney''s shares have risen several times. By the end of April, Disney''s overall market value has risen to more than 103 billion US dollars, and it has firmly established the world''s largest media market by its absolute advantage. The throne of the group.


    On the other side of News Corp. and Fox Group, although they have retained their vitality, they are in trouble. If it were placed in the 1960s and 1970s, several of Murdoch¡¯s sons and daughters would have to buy murder.


    After eating Lucasfilm, Disney will certainly not abandon the "Star Wars" series, and the preliminary preparations for the seventh "Star Wars" movie will soon begin.


    Most of Lucasfilm is high-quality assets such as Industrial Light and Magic and Skywalker sound effects, but there are also tasteless departments such as Lucas Animation and Lucas Games. Under the promotion of Ryan, Lucasfilm On the basis of retaining certainty, the industry also optimized the industry. Lucas Animation and Lucas Games were sold to Summit Entertainment by Disney for a package price of US$95 million.


    The animation about "Star Wars" was transferred to DreamWorks Animation Studio.


    Ryan himself and Walt Disney are undoubtedly the winners of this war. Not only did they successfully weaken the strongest competitor, Disney also got what they wanted. His own more than a dozen foundations, even through short news The group''s stock received a huge account.


    "Dad! Daddy!" Sandy ran all the way into the garden.


    Her curly blonde hair was neatly tied behind her head, with a big bow tied on it. Under her smooth and white forehead, there were deep eye sockets, and one pair of blue eyes was as bright as stars.


    Sandy ran to Ryan against the sea breeze in Malibu, and pointed at Taylor who was following up. "My sister said we beat the bad guys, is that right?"


    "Yes, the big bad guy surrendered." Picking up his daughter, Ryan put her on the small chair next to her, bowed her head and kissed her small forehead, "My dear, he lost a lot of things to dad. All belong to you and sister."


    "What is it?" The little guy blinked quickly and asked curiously, "Is it fun? Can I eat it?"


    "Enough for you to buy the best toys and the most delicious candies in the world." Tyler walked over and sat next to Nicole. "Dear Sunny."


    "Oh¡­¡­"


    Sandy, who is about to be four years old, has no specific concept. He bit his finger and pondered for a while, "Shall we celebrate with a party, Taylor?"


    "Honey, who do you want to invite?"


    Nicole, who had been drinking tea, put down the cup, "I can call for you."


    "Um... Aipur, Lily."


    Hearing Nicole''s words, the little guy immediately jumped off the chair and ran to his mother happily, "Elizabeth, Teres..."


    Many people''s names popped out of her little mouth. They were basically the children of Ryan and Nicole''s friends.


    "Elsa." Ryan said to the housekeeper sitting on the other side. "Prepare a children''s party. Sunny hasn''t seen Apple and Lily for a long time."


    After speaking, Ryan looked at Taylor again, "You can also call Scarlett and your other friends."


    "Scarlett is not in Los Angeles."


    Seeing Ryan a little surprised, Taylor said again, "You busy guy must have forgotten that "The Avengers" is about to be released. Scarlett is not like you always have privileges. She and the crew are running announcements all over the world. advertise."


    Before you know it, it turns out that another summer holiday is about to kick off.


    In recent months, Ryan has been busy dealing with Murdoch and News Corporation, almost completely putting the film business aside, and as the chairman of Disney, no one will come over and ask him to cooperate with the crew.


    "That..." Tyler scratched his face. "Will the matter between me and Scarlett affect the movie?"


    "Don''t worry." Ryan picked up the juice from the table and handed it to Sandy. "Surprise has made some changes to the Black Widow. There will definitely be some impact, but they are all minor problems." (To be continued...)

 Chapter 843： Thor is degenerate by Rocky

    As the release time approaches, the publicity of "Avengers" has entered the final sprint stage, not to mention Disney''s media, even Marvel comics have taken the initiative to stand up for the film.


    In the latest comics periodical, Marvel Comics has made some changes to several popular superheroes under its umbrella. In the universe used in the movie, Captain America is old, Wolverine is dead, Thor is transgender...


    Although Surprise always likes to mess around in comics, it still attracted the attention and surprise of countless fans. After all, this is not a messy universe, but the universe used by the movie!


    In the latest talk show "w" of the TV station, several executives of Marvel Comics stepped onto the interview station and revealed some news to some extent.


    Will Moss, head of the Marvel screenwriter team, said to the camera lens, "New Thor will not be a temporary female substitute, she is now the real and only Thor!"


    The host Ubi Goldberg exaggeratedly announced on the show, "Today is a big day in the Marvel Universe. Thor has messed up and is no longer eligible to use his hammer. For the first time in history, the hammer It will be used by female characters, and Thor has become a woman!"


    Another host, Gianni McCarthy, explained in a timely manner, "She created herself, she was saved by Sol and came to Earth, she followed him and made herself look like Sol, and now + long + wind +Literature + +cfwx +She will replace him in the comics."


    At the same time, Marvel also released a photo of the new Thor and the Avengers. These posters immediately became the focus of the Internet, and the word "Avengers" has directly become a hot vocabulary on Google''s search list.


    Thor is incarnate as Yu Jie Fan''s "Sister Hammer"!


    As soon as the news came out, it alarmed countless netizens, comic fans and movie fans, and a lot of ridicule appeared on the Internet.


    There are endless spoof remarks such as "Thunder God turns godmother" and "Sol is transformed into Loki".


    All this is in Disney''s plan. When these news fermented to a certain extent, Ryan deliberately complained about the female Thor on his Facebook and Twitter? What do they think!


    This news was forwarded by netizens in one day. The number of reposts even exceeded one million.


    It seems that it is not lively enough, Ryan also specially matched with a picture of Taylor''s handsome female man behind. Her appearance among the Avengers has attracted a large number of netizens to think of the female version of Thor and many wild men...


    Although Sister Hammer and Rocky may have nothing to do with each other, and this new series of comics may not affect the direction of the movie, plus the news that Wolverine is about to die in the comics and Captain America will quickly get old and be replaced. , So that more people began to pay attention to the amazing superhero series.


    This is an era in which online media is gradually occupying a dominant position. In publicity and marketing, the role and share of the Internet are becoming more and more important. These methods used by Disney and Marvel Comics are designed to cater to the needs of online media.


    In addition, the influence of the Internet on movies can also be seen on the other hand.


    After the trailer of "The Avengers" was released, it once set off a frenzy of viewing by netizens. Within 24 hours of its release, it was clicked more than 10 million times, setting a new record for watching the trailer!


    "In the film are familiar superheroes like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, etc., not only will all the superheroes appear in this trailer, but they also show their super powers! "


    at the same time. Disney has not given up on traditional media propaganda. News and advertisements about "Avengers" can be seen everywhere in newspapers, magazines, radio stations, TV stations and outdoor advertisements.


    "The Avengers" tells that a sudden powerful evil force poses a fatal threat to the earth, and no superhero can resist it alone. S.H.I.E.L.D. was also caught off guard, and its commander, the one-eyed man, Nick Fury realized He must create the strongest alliance organization in history, gather all superheroes to show off together, in order to save the world from the invasion of the dark forces. So the''Avengers'' came into being!"


    "Ryan Jenkins once again held the Star Shield to become the captain of the United States, a symbol of courage and conviction, Robert Downey Jr. again wore iron armor and became the rebellious Iron Man, and Chris Hemsworth raised his sledgehammer and transformed himself into mighty power. The righteous Thor, Jeremy Renner held a bow and arrow again to perform archery-like eagle eyes. Scarlett Johansson also wore tights, showing the black widow. The big curve interprets the black widow, showing the deadly temptation... "


    Approaching the last week before the release of "The Avengers", Disney and Marvel jointly organized an "Avengers" themed exhibition at the 1988 Gallery in Los Angeles. Film directors Jos Weiden and Robert Downey Jr. also appeared in it. With the creation of the painters, the superheroes have a different look, which is very interesting.


    The gallery also provided cupcakes with the theme of "Avengers" to feast the audience and win valuable tickets for the premiere.


    In order to promote marketing, Disney uses various methods in an endless stream.


    Three days before the film¡¯s release, Scarlett Johansson left on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and became the 2440th Vanity Fair Honorary Star.


    Scarlett¡¯s friends and family, such as Ryan, Taylor, Natalie, and Melanie Sloan, also attended the awarding ceremony. The scene was surrounded by crazy fans, and countless people wanted to see "The Revenge "League of Heroes" star and the demeanor of the **** goddess.


    Even if this goddess has come out.


    These have significantly driven the fans'' expectations for "Avengers".


    "Why is there no star that belongs to you here?"


    After Ryan and Natalie finished their whispers, Taylor leaned in. "I remember the Hollywood Business Association sent you an invitation."


    "That was ten years ago." Ryan shook his head. "The position they gave was too bad, so I refused. I guess they don''t know whether they should invite me again."


    Since the day he won Disney, his identity has undergone a huge change, and the Hollywood Business Association must also understand this.


    "What about you." Tyler looked at Ryan''s other side. "Nate?"


    "I''m not in a hurry." Natalie shrugged to Tyler. Tyler turned from behind Ryan and whispered to Natalie, "If they don''t give you two stars for the actor and the director at once, you must refuse."


    Hearing Taylor¡¯s words, Ryan couldn¡¯t help but smile. Many years ago, he dreamed of owning his own star here, but now, it¡¯s not important anymore. Even without this star, it won¡¯t change him. His position in Hollywood will always be written into the history of this Vanity Fair.


    Even now, he has become one of the rule-makers of this Vanity Fair.


    After interviewing Scarlett, the reporters around here naturally targeted the people around Ryan. In the face of most of them belonged to Disney''s media, their ¡®Disney Gang¡¯ would not refuse.


    "Everyone who knows Scarlett thinks she gets along well, but she is not simple at all."


    As a close friend, Natalie said to the smiling Scarlett, "We have known each other for almost 20 years and have worked together many times. She is a very, very good actor, and she often inspires me to become a good actor. ."


    Speaking of this, Natalie beckoned to Scarlett, "Scarlett, thank you for sharing this important moment in life with me."


    "I have known Scarlett for about 20 years. She has been acting on the big screen since she was eight years old."


    Unlike Taylor, who didn¡¯t want to deal with the media recently, Ryan also accepted an interview with his own media. ¡°The Hollywood Business Association made a right decision. I¡¯m very happy to see them award this honor to such an eight-year-old man who made his debut. Good actress, she has been working very hard and has left us with a lot of impressive screen images."


    "Hey, Scarlett." Ryan walked to Scarlett''s side and said deliberately, "Now your handprint and name are on the Avenue of Stars, I can''t wait to step on a few feet."


    "I will kill you, Ryan."


    Even in the face of the media, the ¡®Disney Gang¡¯ did not conceal their good relationship with each other. Scarlett gritted his teeth at this time, "I promise, it will!"


    As a result, the next day, news of "Black Widow Wants to Kill Captain America" ??appeared in the media.


    Make use of all available situations to promote the film, both Ryan and Disney are unswervingly implementing this strategy.


    This era has changed. The era of Hollywood relying on the appeal of a superstar to prop up a movie is long over.


    Even Ryan, who has the most extensive fan base in North America, dare not say that every one of his works will be bought by fans.


    Especially those niche movies have almost nothing to do with personal appeal. Inborn defects determine that they will not be big sellers and popular types.


    Of course, "The Avengers" is definitely not in this ranks.


    The first priority of this kind of film is entertainment facing the widest audience, the first consideration is to bring the simplest and purest joy to the audience, and this kind of entertainment is also the most popular for the public like.


    After all, those who go into the theater to study philosophy and think about the meaning of life are among the few.


    As a veteran movie fan, Irun¡¯s annual number of movies can reach about 70, but only large-scale commercial movies can be used to buy tickets to enter the theater. Other types of movies are completely available on the Internet, TV, and Watching in a DVD player, and visual effects blockbusters, it is necessary to enter the theater.


    As one of the heads of Ryan''s fan organization in the New Orleans area, he won the premiere ticket of "The Avengers" without spending much money.


    This is also due to the strategy implemented by Disney. Irene knows very well that from the day Ryan entered Disney, Disney cancelled all the tickets reserved for the premiere for professional film critics and sold them to people from all regions of the United States. Movie fans, this strategy has also earned Disney a good reputation among the audience. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 844： Rallying Avengers

    The black Acura car departed from Hollywood Boulevard and drove east all the way past the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel where the first Oscars was held. Sitting in the back seat, Ryan looked at the Chinese Theater passing by the window and occupies a huge area. At the Hollywood and Highland Shopping Center, his eyes retracted, and he looked farther through the front windshield.


    The famous Hollywood sign seems to welcome everyone who enters Vanity Fair. Just today, media and movie fans from all directions have gathered to the brilliant and brilliant Emirates Theater that is not far from the sign.


    The premiere of "Avengers" was held here.


    After getting off the car provided by the film sponsor, Ryan signed a few names at random and walked across the long red carpet.


    After him, "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr., "Thor" Chris Hemsworth, "Hulk" Mark Rufagg, "Eagle Eye" Jeremy Renner, "Black Widow" "Women" Scarlett Johnson, "Rocky" Tom Hiddleston, "S.H.I.E.L.D. Director" Samuel Jackson, director Jos Weyden, and Marvel Pictures Kevin Feige. Show up.


    In addition, many other stars came to join in.


    The scene was shining with stars, fans screamed deafeningly, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.


    Among them, Robert Downey Jr. drove the Iron Man''s car and an Acura sports car directly onto the red carpet, which caused the madness of reporters and movie fans, and made him fully responsible for the expenses of the premiere. Honda smiled.


    Maintaining the consistent style of Disney¡¯s commercial movies in recent years, there are a large number of placement ads in "Avengers", as many as 27 manufacturers, a total of $128.7 million in advertising sponsorship fees for this film. Created a new record of Hollywood film advertising revenue.


    Advertising revenue and overseas pre-sales have also eased Disney¡¯s financial pressure.


    Standing in front of an advertising poster full of sponsors'' names, Ryan and five other comrades in arms, let the reporters in front take pictures.


    This film can be said to be the most anticipated and watched film since "Avatar". More than 500 reporters from all over the world gathered in front of the Emirates Rock Theater.


    It is no exaggeration to say that even if it hasn''t been released yet, "The Avengers" has robbed all the limelight of the summer archive.


    The global pre-sale of the film kicked off a month ago, and it caused fan enthusiasm that even movie theaters and ticketing websites were caught off guard. The amount of pre-sales for the first three days in North America was initially estimated to be as high as 150 million U.S. dollars. This is Ninety-five percent of Hollywood movies are a number that is beyond reach.


    And this is just the three-day pre-sale amount of "Avengers" in a region in North America.


    In addition to Disney, theater operators also attach great importance to this film.


    One of the largest theater chains in North America has launched the "Ultimate Marathon" event in several large theaters under its umbrella, that is, from 11:30 a.m. on May 6th, there will be continuous screenings of the 5 amazing superhero movies that have paved the way for the film. Captain America, "Iron Man", "Hulk", "Iron Man 2", "Thor", and then premiered "Avengers" at 0:00 on the 6th.


    Although the ticket price for this event is as high as US$40. However, the pre-sale tickets had already been robbed by fans, and the theater had to urgently add additional shows.


    The film is also highly anticipated overseas. In the remaining English-speaking friends area, the tickets for the zero-point show are sold out early. The 3d and imax versions of the first three days are hard to find. In order to see the film as soon as possible, many fans simply put their sleeping bags on their backs. The queuing all night attracted media from these areas to go for interviews and reports.


    "Hi, Stephen."


    When entering the theater. Ryan saw the controller of DreamWorks and heard him say hello, Spielberg hurriedly came over to shake hands with him, "Ryan...I think the distribution agreement between DreamWorks and Disney can be signed."


    "After the premiere. I will urge people to discuss with you as soon as possible." Ryan nodded.


    After the end of the cooperation with Paramount, although no new works have been released so far, DreamWorks has already launched several film projects after receiving a loan from Ryan. Now Disney Pictures, which has clearly become the No. 1 giant in Hollywood, has naturally become Spielberg''s first choice for cooperation.


    "I heard you are preparing for "Lincoln"?" Ryan asked as the two walked toward the screening hall. "I read this novel some time ago. It seems to be called "Vampire Hunter Lincoln"..."


    "That has nothing to do with my movie." Spielberg shrugged.


    Even the once great leaders will be spoofed by Hollywood. This is the so-called creative freedom that Hollywood has built over decades.


    "The content of the film is about constitutional amendments." Spielberg looked at Ryan, "Are you not interested in this role?"


    "Stephen." Ryan pointed to himself. "Do you think I look like Arabraham Lincoln?"


    Of course the old Jewish man was joking, and the two of them walked to the front row while chatting and sat in their respective seats.


    "Ryan."


    Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting next to him, approached and asked, "I heard Nat say, are you going to put "Warcraft" on the big screen?"


    "Yes."


    Ryan looked at her, "Preliminary preparations will begin in the second half of the year."


    "I read the script you put in Nat''s place." Scarlett thought for a while, "it doesn''t seem to have much to do with the game settings."


    "No way." Ryan shook his head. "This is not a fan movie. We can''t please the game fans, but also the more fans who don''t care about the game."


    The theater, which can accommodate thousands of people, gradually quieted down. Fans and media reporters came in behind. Irene was mixed in the crowd, and finally sat in the boundary between the fan zone and the reporters, not far from him. , There was a reporter from Yahoo Entertainment and a reporter from the Los Angeles Times.


    "Finally waited until this day."


    A man next to him just sat down and said to his companion on the other side, "It''s been eight years since "Captain America" ??was released. I finally waited until the Avengers were assembled."


    This person¡¯s companion also sighed, ¡°I was still in high school when I first heard about the Surprising Avengers Project, and I will soon graduate from college.¡±


    Hearing what they said, Ellen sighed slightly. On this day, he also waited too long. I thought that a few years ago, he went to Louisiana to watch the field shooting of "Captain America". In a blink of an eye, It''s been almost eight years.


    This is a long wait, a wait that has lasted for nearly eight years.


    "The movie is very much anticipated."


    Another voice came over, but the two reporters close at hand were discussing the issue of the film, "This film has too many characters, especially Thor, Iron Man and Captain America as the Big Three. The images and characters are all distinct. How to blend them together is a big problem. If you don¡¯t get it right, the movie will become a hodgepodge. Don¡¯t forget, Jos Weeden¡¯s last hodgepodge "Firefly" was a complete failure. Made."


    "I heard that Marvel''s first choice for director was Jon Feiru, but he didn''t have confidence in himself."


    Another reporter said, "Jos Weiden took the position of director because of Ryan''s strong recommendation. I have confidence in him."


    "You have confidence in Ryan''s vision, right?" The Yahoo Entertainment reporter pointed to the essence of the facts.


    "Isn''t that the case?" said a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. "From the earliest he insisted on Spielberg''s directing of "Jurassic Park" to the bet on James Cameron, all the directors he appointed messed up the movie. ?"


    "It seems..." The Yahoo Entertainment reporter tried to recall, "It really didn''t."


    This must be a successful work!


    Unlike the two reporters, Irun is full of confidence in "The Avengers", and he believes that this film will give them a wonderful show.


    The lights on the ceiling went out row by row, and the theater was completely silent. When the big screen came on, after the beginning of the iconic Marvel Pictures, there was the classic Disney Castle, and then the movie went directly to the topic!


    It was not any one of the six heroes who appeared first, but the big villain Loki, among which there was a sturdy figure that flashed away.


    As a senior man and movie fan, Yilun immediately thought that the figure must be Thanos.


    Is he the super of this movie? Or the ultimate villain of the entire series?


    Simply recalling the trailer, Iren confirmed that the latter is more likely.


    The film inherits the usual traditions of Disney-produced films. The pace is very fast. There is no sloppy place. It goes straight to the theme and conflict. Within five minutes of the opening, the villain Loki is standing on the experimental base of S.H.I.E.L.D. Zhong Da killed the Quartet, and at the same time used the scepter in his hand to instigate Hawkeye Button and others.


    The opening battle was also exciting enough. The scenes of gunfights, car chases, explosions, and plane crashes were all presented on the big screen. Irun and the surrounding audience looked at the realistic and almost flawless special effects, and felt surprised and full of Disney. Sincerity.


    Why do the audience walk into the theater?


    Disney obviously knows this very well, and took out the visual feast they most want to see From now on, we are at war! "


    Nick Fury¡¯s words sounded like drum beats in their hearts, and many people understood that when the opening was finished, the dinner was about to be served.


    "What should we do?" Agent Colson asked Nick Fury.


    No one answered, the film answered the Avengers with the title!


    "Oh, she''s so spicy!"


    A low sigh sounded from the side, "Black Widow is still the same beautiful and sexy."


    "Her skill is just as good."


    This is a fast and fierce fight, showing what Natasha Normanoff is best at fighting style, and she is the key person who must gather the Avengers together. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 845： Waiting for the next assembly

    After five films such as "Captain America", the audience is very familiar with the six members of the Avengers. Whether it is the characters'' personalities or their standpoints, it has long been a well-known fact.


    The film does not explain or interpret these characters, and there is not too much nonsense. It cuts into the plot directly at a fast pace and directly tells the story without any preparation, allowing the audience to see the climax from the beginning. , Has maintained this high mood.


    Hawkeye, Black Widow, Hulk, Iron Man, and Captain America appeared in front of the audience one by one.


    In addition to the big scenes and the interaction between superheroes, the film also uses ubiquitous little humor to impress these audiences, including Irun.


    "Wait for the next building to be completed." Tony Stark said to Pepper, "Your name will be on it."


    And Xiaojiao¡¯s answer is to write the name on the room book...


    Of course, this kind of trickery basically belongs to Iron Man. He has all kinds of ridicules, all kinds of ridicule, and all kinds of show off in the movie.


    "Ryan doesn''t seem to be very brilliant."


    When the screen entered the space carrier, Ellen heard the words of the person next to him again. This is indeed the case. Compared with the more dramatic and dazzling role of Iron Man, Captain America''s performance can only be regarded as mediocre, even by Tony History. Tucker laughed at adding popsicles to the elderly.


    Compared to the freaks of Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, and Rocky, Captain America''s combat effectiveness does not seem to be particularly strong.


    This is the brain of the Avengers, and supporters of Ryan like Irun can only comfort themselves in this way.


    Fortunately, Captain America is the kind that gets stronger when it comes to power. Although it may not be the opponent of those super freaks, it also has certain confrontational strength, especially in the internal conflict between Iron Man and Thor. It makes the audience fascinated, and it makes people feel addicted to their hearts.


    This is the real super masterpiece! This is the Avengers in his heart!


    Irene saw the superheroes assembled on the space carrier. I couldn''t stop getting excited in my heart, this scene really made people wait for too long.


    Of course, it is definitely not an easy task for the super freaks to gather together and fight together.


    They are a group of weird people, a pair of super men and women who participated in World War II at the age of ninety, a **** plus an arrogant inventor, a violent transformation at any time plus a big guy who can¡¯t control himself, and another from Azerbaijan. The God of Scarlett!


    These people get together and can cause trouble. Thinking about it makes people feel a headache.


    Especially among them is Tony Stark, who likes to be silly. All kinds of ridicules of his teammates keep popping out. Sometimes, Irene can¡¯t wait to hit him a few punches to relieve his hatred, but he also admits that compared to other superheroes, Iron Man¡¯s settings It''s too easy to shine.


    In addition to the action scenes and the big scenes, Iron Man''s inaction and the full base sentiment between Thor and Rocky are the highlights of the film.


    Those two reporters. While watching the movie, he also writes and draws in the book, just like those film critics before, but if someone says that they are professional film critics. They will get angry, it is almost a stinking profession, they are just entertainment reporters.


    "My dad is full of praise for this guy." Tony Stark satirized Steve Rogers, "I should really continue to let him make popsicles!"


    "Take off the iron armor. What do you have left?" Captain America did not show any weakness.


    "Genius, big money, playboy. Philanthropist..."


    Like all teams, from getting together to fighting together, there is always a process of running-in.


    "What kind of team are we, putting us together will only cause chaos, we are a time bomb."


    This sentence is definitely the best portrayal at the beginning.


    How can a group of weird freaks unite together?


    Hollywood movies in the past have given answers long ago, and this answer is also the favorite and most recognized way by the audience. There is no surprise in the movie in this respect. It is still the simplest and most effective way.


    A huge setback and the death of a mutual friend naturally became the best way to bring them together.


    The collaboration between Iron Man and Captain America, the Hulk''s fight with Black Widow and Thor, and the close combat between Black Widow and Hawkeye not only drew the audience''s applause, but also won rounds of applause.


    "Very exciting!" Irun patted his palms, and his mind kept turning, "It''s even better than expected. It''s definitely the best movie this summer!"


    "Jos Weiden did a great job." A reporter from Yahoo Entertainment said to applause. "Ryan''s vision is still as accurate as ever."


    Although the other reporter did not speak, he nodded in agreement.


    The film has been in progress for more than half of the time, and it is indeed beyond their expectations. It is a super commercial blockbuster that is most suitable for summer vacations, eliminating those unrealistic literary and artistic ideas.


    Disney¡¯s big productions never disappoint.


    Why is it that amazing superheroes can continue to succeed, but now except for the "Wonder Woman" series, it is difficult to come up with a transcript that is bright enough?


    As an industry insider, Spielberg, who was sitting in the front row, couldn¡¯t help but think of these questions. He quickly got the answers. Apart from the comics¡¯ settings, the biggest difference between surprise and surprise is that surprise was caught ten years ago. Ryan pointed out the way and direction, but there is no Ryan Jenkins!


    The pace of this film is very fast, it is simply suffocating, it does not leave the audience too much opportunity to think, one after another dazzling battle without making people feel aesthetic fatigue, like a gorgeous dinner party, It is constantly placed in front of the audience by Disney and Marvel.


    With the opening of the portal on the screen, the final battle kicked off. The battlefield of the battle was chosen to be the landmark Manhattan that Hollywood is most willing to destroy!


    The avengers who have experienced setbacks are all ready to go, and the ultimate battle is about to start.


    "I have a big army!"


    "We have Hulk!"


    Even at such a moment, Iron Man''s babbles continued to appear, which caused the audience to burst into laughter unconsciously.


    "Even if we can''t protect the earth, we will definitely avenge it!"


    Is the earth going to be destroyed again?


    The earth is going to be saved by superheroes again?


    This is a theme that will never go out of fashion in Hollywood commercial productions. The reason why Hollywood is keen on such themes is simple, and the audience likes it!


    This is how the vulgar and disgusting part of the professional film critics'' writing was re-expressed by Disney with special effects and the strongest team on earth. The adrenaline of the ordinary audience soared, and they applauded in excitement.


    Even if they know that this is not in line with the courtesy of watching movies, they can''t help but feel excited.


    Irene couldn''t count how many times he clapped his palms, but when the most exciting scene appeared, he did the same thing as other audiences.


    stand up! applaud!


    The six members of the Avengers, for the first time! We really stand together!


    Captain America Steve Rogers! Iron Man Tony? Stark! Hulk! Thor! Black Widow Natasha Normanoff! Hawkeye Colette Barton!


    In the exciting soundtrack like a space opera, six people stood in a circle and roared in battle!


    Even if they cannot protect the earth, they will definitely avenge it!


    The Avengers are assembled!


    Although the six superheroes have strengths and weaknesses, they have fully demonstrated their abilities. Jos Weiden has combined a group of superheroes who were originally incompatible on the screen into one place.


    "If this is a pot of hodgepodge," Irun gradually calmed down and refocused on the movie. "This is also the most delicious hodgepodge, not the so-called bad movie of "Firefly," Jos? Weiden did a pretty good job."


    Irene is very satisfied with this film. There is almost no place to complain. Although entering the final battle, I feel that the aliens are not very powerful, but it is the best backdrop for the Avengers.


    Besides, this is also a consistent feature of Marvel superhero movies, with a god-like protagonist and a scum-like villain.


    They were originally the protagonist, and the villain was scumbag. What does that matter? It is better than some movies that deliberately turn the protagonist into a brain-dead, but continue to be mythical villain, which is ten thousand times stronger!


    Long-term continuous battles can also easily cause aesthetic fatigue, so various humorous short paragraphs emerge in an endless stream, attracting the audience''s interest.


    "Enough, what are you idiots."


    Facing the violent Hulk, Loki yelled, "I am a god, you ant can''t insult me!"


    In response, the Hulk picked up Loki as if he broke a sack, smashed him to the floor, and finally threw a sentence, "I have never seen such a scumbag!"


    The miserable Loki could only lie in the pit on the floor, groaning vainly.


    As a typical superhero blockbuster, the movie will definitely not have some messy and inexplicable endings, so the most pleasing ending appears. The brain-dead S.H.I.E.L.D. Council launched a nuclear bombIron Man will The nuclear bomb was sent into the portal, the nuclear bomb destroyed the alien mothership, the black widow closed the portal, Iron Man fell back to the earth before the portal closed, Hulk saved Iron Man...


    In short, this is a standard Hollywood-style happy ending!


    The film comes to an end. Sol and Loki, good friends who fell in love and killed each other, return to Asgat, and the other avengers go their separate ways, waiting for the next gathering!


    Irene is also waiting for the next gathering of the Avengers!


    The two companions next to him are also discussing when the Avengers can regroup!


    The two reporters on the other side were discussing how to ask Disney about the time of the second meeting of the Avengers!


    Numerous voices reached Irun¡¯s ears, almost all of them praised the movie. Like him, 99% of the audience were extremely satisfied with "The Avengers"! (To be continued...)

 Chapter 846： Phenomenal film

    As the first audience who was lucky enough to watch the "Avengers" at the premiere, Yahoo Entertainment reporter James Mills did not immediately go back to rush to the press conference after attending the press conference, but rushed to the Nokia Theatre. Prepare to interview some audiences in the midnight scene to collect more material for tomorrow''s draft. £«£«£«£«


    Audiences who can watch the midnight show are almost all the hard-core and experienced fans of the movie or the star in the movie. Their opinions are more important than professional film critics.


    After waiting at the Nokia Theatre for more than two hours, James Mills waited until the audience left, and he blocked the first fan who came out for the first time.


    "Hello, I''m a reporter from Yahoo Entertainment..." He introduced himself quickly and asked concisely, "Do you think "The Avengers" is good-looking?"


    "It''s innovative, it''s shocking, and it''s very interesting."


    This fan, who is about twenty years old, made no secret of his excitement, "It is full of epic, and the action scenes of the drama are more than the surprises of all the previous movies combined, and it is wonderful!"


    After the fan left, James Mills interviewed more than a dozen people at the fastest speed.


    "Very awesome movie, better than expected!"


    "I absolutely love it, almost from start to finish."


    "This is Surprise Pictures'' best movie!"


    After interviewing the fans, James Mills interviewed the night shift manager of Nokia Theater.


    "The attendance rate of the midnight show of the Nokia Theatre "Avengers" is 100%, and the tickets were pre-sold 25 days ago. In the past ten days, a large number of movie fans have come to inquire about the tickets for the midnight show. We had to add three more times, and the tickets were still not enough, but we can only do so much. This will be a phenomenal movie!"


    Leaving the Nokia Theatre. James Mills entered the parking lot and got in his car. He didn''t rush to leave. Instead, he took out his newly bought iPhone and sent a tweet first.


    "The "Avengers" premiere is back. Fans of the anime heroes are ready for the feast! Director Jos Weiden has accomplished a mission that is very likely to mess up, and the heroes are well balanced. Lines Consistently humorous, and the final decisive battle is even more suffocating. Ryan has been able to compliment the grand chess game that he has planned for surprise for ten years."


    After sending it. He quickly checked the Twitter of his colleagues, many of whom attended the premiere last night.


    "Just finished watching, a lot of action scenes, humorous smiles and surprises."


    "If you like comic movies, then you will love this movie!"


    "When I posted this brief review, my body was still trembling. The movie is really wonderful!"


    "These surprising freaks were gathered together and thought it was a pot of porridge. As a result, the division of labor was super clear and the characters were very clear. Coupled with the dizzying bombardment and appropriate spitting, these characters are even more lovable than when they watched separate films before."


    Put down the phone, James Mills can imagine. Ryan Jenkins and Disney might have really made another phenomenal movie!


    What is the final box office of the film?


    As a veteran reporter in the industry, he knows very well that the final box office of this kind of comic film cannot be comparable to the two masterpieces of James Cameron, but it is a movie with a large fixed audience. "The Avengers" is very likely to create a series of box office myths in the first week.


    Go back and pay attention to the film¡¯s midnight box office and first day box office.


    Thinking of this, James Mills started the car and went directly to the newspaper to catch up on the article, for him. This will be a sleepless night.


    There are many people who sleepless tonight. As the CEO of Disney, Robert Iger is one of them. Whenever Disney''s super masterpiece is released, he always suffers from insomnia, and the box office that exceeds the estimated midnight show is the best hypnotic.


    He sat in the study at home, quietly waiting for the box office to be released at midnight.


    At the same time, the headquarters of Surprise Pictures in Burbank was brightly lit. Kevin Feige and Stan Lee, as well as many of the employees of Surprise Pictures, were not asleep. They were also waiting.


    Compared to Robert Iger, the surprised people appear to be more relaxed. They are full of confidence in this plan that has lasted for nearly ten years, because Ryan Jenkins has brought almost all surprises to success in the past, and surprise is also under his leadership. , From a company that is about to go bankrupt into a party upstart in Hollywood.


    Now, who doesn''t want to get the superhero adaptation rights of Marvel Comics.


    Not to mention anything else, as far as they know, the Marvel superhero movie is one of the important reasons why News Corp and Walt Disney clashed.


    Ryan instigated this big plan for them, and Ryan led them on the road to success.


    Of course, they also understand that surprise belongs to Ryan Jenkins.


    Surprised people are waiting, but the one they are grateful for, but holding a graceful beauty, sleeping right away.


    Because of the jet lag, Charlize did not sleep. Recently, she has been busy with the promotion of the World Cup in South Africa, and finally took the time to return to Los Angeles.


    Feeling the steady breathing above her head, she carefully broke free of Ryan''s entanglement with one hand, took the mobile phone lit by the pillow, looked at the numbers on it, smiled satisfied, and then raised her head to kiss Ryan His cheeks retracted into his warm embrace, trying to accumulate his sleepiness.


    No wonder sleeping so badly, he already expected this midnight box office number, right?


    With this thought, Charlize also fell asleep.


    The door of the study was knocked lightly, and Robert Iger''s wife Catherine Susan walked in with coffee, with questions in her eyes.


    "Yes!"


    Robert Iger refreshed the e-mail and let out a long sigh of relief.


    "How much?" Catherine Susan asked.


    "2650 theaters, 22.8 million US dollars at the box office!"


    Even as calm as the CEO of Disney, his tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement.


    "This..." Catherine Susan also knows something about the film industry. "This is the new midnight box office record, right?"


    "Yes!"


    Pushing the coffee in front of Catherine aside, Robert Iger took a bottle of champagne and two glasses from the side, "We can celebrate."


    This is a reserved celebration program of Robert Iger and his wife. They still have children, and the celebration can only be done quietly.


    Compared with the Iger family, Surprise Pictures far away in Burbank has fallen into a boil. This group of guys who are usually full of imagination and unconstrained work, uttered bursts of excitement and strange screams, and they have concentrated on the surprise film industry. In the hall, the champagne that had been prepared a long time ago was opened, and countless liquids splashed around with the colored stripes falling from the ceiling...


    For surprise, this is an exciting time.


    "US$22.8 million!" Someone kept yelling with excitement, "We set a new box office record for the midnight show!"


    This is a crazy number!


    Such an outstanding performance at midnight almost indicates that the "Avengers" will be a super-sale in the first week!


    The only thing that prevents the movie from being super popular is whether the audience will buy it.


    After lunch and walking in the garden, Charlize pulled the web page of his mobile phone and looked at the latest views of the audience on the "Avengers" on Twitter, Facebook and community sites, and read gently for Ryan next to him. some.


    "The Avengers is full of everything and different. You can watch six superheroes at once by buying a ticket. If I want to watch an amazing movie with idols from all wonders of the world. , This movie is the most successful and sensational in my memory. It is more interesting than "Transformers", in contrast, Michael Bay is simply weak."


    Hearing what Charlize said, Ryan couldn''t help but shook his head and smiled, "Poor Michael."


    Charlize ignored Ryan and continued to read a new one.


    "I just finished watching "Avengers" and it looks better than the previous superhero movies! The characters are all brilliant, and many lines are very humorous. The final battle is gorgeous and bloody, and the sentence of Captain America-Hulk, hit hard! It''s triggered! Cheers and applause from the scene! This is a very entertaining summer masterpiece, and the 3D effects are also excellent. Everyone, get ready to welcome the Avengers on the big screen!"


    "Definitely not the best movie I have ever watched, but it is definitely the coolest movie I have ever watched! The technical praise, the rhythm, the action, the sound effects, each superhero has distinctive features, and the interpretation is in place! Every pore of the audience is hilarious. Explosive! Tucao Liang, when Stark called Hawkeye''Legolas'', as a fan of "Lord of the Rings", I was already dead!"


    "I didn''t expect "The Avengers" to be so good-looking! Iron Man vs. Captain America, the Hulk smashed Thor, the Black Widow and Captain America hooked up... Honestly, these superheroes were compared to each other. It¡¯s much better to be united! Iron Man is in charge of playing treasures, the captain is in charge of playing handsome, the black widows are coquettish, the Hulk is cute, plus a bad villain with a beloved, fantastic combination, perfect!"


    "Continue?"


    Walked to the bench Charlize took Ryan and sat down, "There is more interesting."


    "Forget it." Ryan shook his head and leaned on the bench. "Let''s wait for a new record."


    "The first day''s box office record?" Charlize understood what Ryan meant.


    "The first day, the first week..." Ryan made a gesture that you understand, "This is not "Avatar". The box office of the first week is very important to "The Avengers."


    The comic movie looks very cool, but it is undeniable that its theater line preservation period is relatively short, and it is impossible to have the miracle of reverse growth like "Avatar" or "Titanic". For this type of film, The success of the box office in the first week is crucial.


    Perhaps this kind of film that always breaks out in the first week will create a brand new record. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 847： Record maker

    Perhaps it was really old. The sky by the window was slightly white. Rupert Murdoch put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom. Since the''tap on the door'', his sleep quality has been extremely poor. The struggle for property was even more troublesome for him. Fortunately, over time and his forced separation of News Corp., he finally eased the pressure from the federal government and Walt Disney.


    And after he agreed to Ryan Jenkins''s terms, the looming divorce battle also disappeared. Although he paid twice more than the 30 million US dollars in the prenuptial agreement, he finally got rid of the woman who made him faceless.


    Walking onto the spacious balcony, Murdoch looked in the direction of Los Angeles. He said nothing that the young man who was only 30 years old would have forced him to such a situation, although his media empire was not completely divided. But for at least 20 years, I am afraid that there will be no chance to compete with Disney.


    Even this once extremely huge empire will become weaker and weaker due to the internal friction of several children who have become enemies.


    Despite this situation, Murdoch didn''t think about fighting back, but now he no longer has the strength to fight back. What he wants most now is to see the bad luck of Disney, especially bad luck in big investment projects.


    Even if it is as powerful as Walt Disney, if the "Avengers" fails, it will be a huge loss.


    Sitting at the balcony table, the butler not only brought coffee, but also the newspaper he must read every day.


    Unlike the past, Murdoch did not look at the political and financial pages first, but directly turned to the entertainment version. Yesterday was the time for "Avengers" to fully land on the North American theaters. Now the first day of box office should be released.


    "Crack!"


    In the crisp sound, the white porcelain coffee cup in Murdoch''s hand fell heavily on the tray of the same material. The tray immediately fell apart and the brown liquid sputtered out. Falling on the newspaper, beside the stains, was an unusually eye-catching number. This number matched a little bit of coffee, just like Kim Carey''s exaggerated expression, mocking some people''s wishful thinking.


    "A new single-day box office record in North America, "Avengers" set! 88.95 million US dollars!"


    This is the headline of the entertainment version. This is a number that will inevitably be remembered in the history of North America and the entire world of cinema!


    After taking a few deep breaths, the expressionless Murdoch calmed down as one of the owners of the six major Hollywood studios. He is naturally aware of the horror of this number.


    This is not the final box office, not the first week''s box office, but just one day''s North American box office for "Avengers"!


    For the sake of his own health, Murdoch closed the newspaper, but the figure of 88.95 million US dollars, like a curse, always entangled in his mind, making him uneasy for a moment...


    On Saturday, the performance of "Avengers" remained strong. With the spread of good word of mouth from the audience, the film is already hard to find.


    Although 4,349 theaters in North America have already opened up full firepower for screenings, the surging crowds still caused the ticketing system of Emperor Entertainment Group, the largest theater in the United States, to respond slowly and almost crashed due to too many customers buying tickets at the same time; The machine is damaged due to the overload of the customer swiping the card too much, so the ticket can only be sold in cash.


    If not booked in advance. There is no way to buy tickets for "Avengers" that day at the theater scene.


    When Sunday arrives, "Avengers" will harvest $81.15 million from North America on the second day of its release. This is also the highest Saturday box office in North America''s history!


    at this time. The box office statistics of other 114 countries and regions where the film was screened at the same time have also been completed. The box office of "Avengers" on the world''s first day reached $255.55 million!


    In a short period of time, "The Avengers" even set off a movie-watching boom that surpassed that of "Avatar."


    With the expansion of the scope of film screening. There were also some disagreements, even cynicism.


    "Film rhythms are divided into many kinds, there are visual rhythms, there are emotional rhythms. For movies, emotional rhythm is a necessary condition, and visual rhythm is an irrelevant condition. Visual rhythm movies without emotional rhythm are really lethargic. , They are fighting in full swing, the audience is like watching a few children with runny nose fight for a piece of bubble gum, it is unbelievable that they still pretend to be interested in waving the flag and shouting, this is simply too funny."


    Like this kind of superhero movie, it is impossible to please everyone, especially those who think they are full of artistic vision. The movie itself is not made for these people.


    "No one forces you to buy tickets to watch a superhero movie. If you want to watch a slow-paced movie that promotes the development of the film''s story with emotion, you can go to the art theater, why bother to watch a commercial movie and make yourself suffer!"


    The following reply can be said to be the best response to that kind of movie-going crowd. After all, fools know what Hollywood superhero movies look like, so they have to use a literary mind and deliberately use '' With the eyes of art, I went into the commercial theaters to examine it, and it can only be said that these people have a serious tendency to abuse.


    On Sunday, the popularity of "Avengers" began to decline. The tight ticket situation of movies across North America has been eased to a certain extent. The long ticket-buying teams in major theaters have also been shortened. What remains unchanged is that The audience''s reputation of the film is still strong, and the power of word of mouth surpasses any propaganda method.


    $65.57 million!


    This is the third day of "Avengers" North American box office results!


    When the new week began, the North American box office of "Avengers" stayed at a terrifying figure of 235.57 million U.S. dollars. This is also a brand new North American box office record for the first week, directly adding "The Hunger Games 2: The Hunger Games:" The original record maintained by "Sparkling Fire" has increased by more than $70 million!


    And such a hot box office blowout is not only happening in North America.


    In 11 countries and regions including Hong Kong, New Zealand, Malaysia, Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Peru, Central America, and Bolivia, "Avengers" also set a new box office record for its premiere; in other theaters, " "Avengers" also achieved the second or third showy record in the history of the premiere at the box office.


    In three days, the world has set off a wave of superheroes called the "Avengers". Under this craze, the box office of "Avengers" easily broke through the 700 million US dollars mark in the first week of the world, 711.31 million US dollars. This number appears for the first time in the history of world cinema.


    Perhaps it is the sluggish relationship of those former well-known film critics. What sets off the global box office soaring is that the professional and audience reputation of "Avengers" is quite good.


    On "Rotten Tomatoes", the "Avengers" has a positive rate of 95%, and data from market research institutions shows that "Avengers" has the highest audience rating of a+, and it was the first film in 2010. A movie praised by a+.


    On the Ryan Disney family online website, the fan rating of "The Avengers" is as high as 97 points!


    After the beginning of the working day, "The Avengers", like all movies, under normal law, the box office began to decline to a certain extent. On Monday, the box office plummeted to 26.5 million U.S. dollars, and the remaining Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday remained basically unchanged. Around this number, when the film was released in North America for a full week, the North American box office had reached 349.88 million U.S. dollars!


    In terms of global box office, it is close to the $1 billion mark!


    The new round of weekend box office statistics in North America has once again kicked off, and "Avengers" has a real competitor. Sony Columbia Pictures released "Kung Fu Dream" in order to avoid the overlapping audience of "Toy Story 3". ", deliberately put the schedule in May.


    After all, in the eyes of most people, "Kung Fu Dream", a family-friendly film, is clearly different from the audience of "Avengers."


    However, the popularity of "Avengers" far exceeds the estimates of Sony Columbia Pictures, and the humor and scale of the film are also very suitable for some minors to watch.


    On Friday, "The Avengers", which had been released for a week, ushered in a big rebound. The North American box office soared to more than 32.5 million U.S. dollars, while "Kung Fu Dream" on the first day of the painting was only more than 15 million U.S. dollars...


    Sony Columbia has realized that things are not too good.


    In fact, the executives of Sony Entertainment discovered this situation last week, but as the release time of "Kung Fu Dream" was approaching, they could no longer make adjustments. Otherwise, the promotional cost of up to 50 million US dollars would be hit. Water drift.


    Such losses make them even more unbearable.


    As a result, "Kung Fu Dream" became a victim of "Avengers" crushing the box office chart this weekend.


    On Saturday, the North American box office of the "Avengers" rose strongly, earning 49.5 million U.S. dollars in one day. Although it declined on Sunday, it still gained more than 38.5 million U.S. dollars.


    The North American box office for the second weekend of "Avengers" reached US$102.12 million!


    As a competitor of the same period Kung Fu Dream, the three-day box office accumulation of "Avengers" is not even comparable to the box office numbers of "Avengers" on any day. The executives of Sony Columbia Pictures are destined to cry in the toilet. .


    Ten days after its global release, the North American box office of "Avengers" has exceeded 470 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office is close to 1.3 billion U.S. dollars!


    It¡¯s not just the box office of the movie that sells big. Peripheral products such as comics, dolls, toys, and character image authorization have also brought a huge amount of income to Disney. The same is in ten days, even if not counted other, only the character image. With one authorization, Disney took $285.9 million from all over the world!


    In order to further promote the film, Disney also announced that the Marvel Universe project has entered the second phase, including "Thor 2", "Iron Man 3", "Captain America 2", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Ant-Man", "Avengers 2" and many others. The film has entered the formal preparation stage! (To be continued...)

 Chapter 848： China Super Heroes League

    Movies are hot, and the avengers in the film have naturally become the focus of fan discussion. Whether it is fans who have read comics or those who have not read comics, they all use the open media platform of the Internet to express their opinions.


    Naturally, there is no need to say the villain, as the only big villain, Rocky''s play is really good enough.


    The whole movie can also be called Rocky''s history of blood and tears.


    He scolded "You are ants!" Nick Fury stepped on him.


    "I am the ruler!" The captain flew him.


    "I''m the king!" Brother Hammer took him away and pushed him.


    "I''m a bad guy! Very bad, very bad bad guy!" The black widow deceived him.


    "I have an army!" Iron Man blasted him, immune to his skills, and blasted him again.


    "I can grab arrows with my bare hands! Be handsome!" Hawkeye exploded him.


    "I am a god!" Hulk ¡®mosaic¡¯ him terribly.


    "Can I have some wine." Everyone beat him again.


    Loki is definitely the inspirational idol and the leader of successful learning!


    As the side of justice, Tony Stark is the most outstanding among the Avengers, while the highly anticipated Ryan starred in Captain America has a mediocre performance. Fans are also talking on the Internet, thinking that the captain is the worst of the Big Three. One of them, and not much to watch.


    In the eyes of many people; long; wind; literature+, Steve Rogers is just a super soldier who has been experimented and modified. In 2010, he is still an unearthed antique with a confused conversation, Tony? When Stark and Bruce Banner were operating the program in a high-end atmosphere, he could only watch in confusion, so someone was sad for him, and felt that the value of its existence was about to be discounted. It was too sad.


    But in the eyes of fans of Ryan and Captain America, they don''t think so.


    In the latest issue of Vanity Fair, a columnist who is a fan of Captain America. Wrote an article specifically for this.


    "I still remember clearly that there was such a scene in the "Captain America" ??movie. When selecting soldiers to do a transformation experiment, they first threw a grenade at the pile of training soldiers, and then everyone else was very panicked. Only Rogers did not. He rushed forward hesitantly, hugged the grenade, and curled up into a ball."


    "Of course he was not the captain at that time, even thinner than ordinary soldiers. According to the comics, heroes who encounter nuclear radiation may be transformed. Heroes who are bitten by spiders will fly away. But, I mean, if, That grenade is real, it will explode, and the soldier Rogers will not be a grenade man. He will be blown into many pieces. I don¡¯t know if this will give him a medal. After all, he hasn¡¯t even officially been on the battlefield. ."


    "Steve Rogers, who wrapped his grenade in his body, was just an ordinary person. He was beaten up in the back alley and was treated as a joke."


    "Rogers as an ordinary person. He doesn''t have the beautiful tendon of Ryan Jenkins, and he doesn''t have a shield as a sign. He is a thin and weak face, but he still thinks about it in such a body. A bit of a scumbag and mean and pitiful guy."


    "From a certain common situation. Many people who are born with insufficient hardware and are still being bullied are either full of hatred for this world and want revenge, or they plan to watch this ugly world coldly, and not many want to join the army to defeat the Nazis. See. It¡¯s rare to be able to sacrifice yourself to protect others without hesitation."


    "The reason why he became the first superhero in history is not luck, but because he has such qualifications. It''s not that. Just grab a guy from the army and throw it into the experiment container, and the one who comes out will be able to chase him barefoot. Rushed several streets with Nazi agents."


    "A lot of guys, even if they have the same ability, throwing a block of the captain''s shield to him, what he did is not much better than when Rogers was holding the lid of the trash can in the back alley."


    "At the end of "Captain America", Rogers drove a fighter plane and fell into the vast ice field. An appointment was delayed for more than seventy years, but in the end it didn''t happen!"


    "The Avengers only gave Captain America some flashbacks. From the clip, we can see his era and the lady who belonged to him. In fact, we have no way of knowing the emotions in his heart."


    "But when he put on a uniform, held a shield, and appeared on the street bombed wildly with a black widow and an eagle eye, he calmly and powerfully directed the police to fight, rescued the trapped citizens from the building, and gave it to the Avengers. When other heroes were on the ground and arranged the rhythm of the battle in an orderly manner, my brain automatically flashed back in sync. The scene of Captain Rogers¡¯ first rescue mission back then, and Rogers riding a fan cart did not hesitate in the bullet rain. The picture of rushing to the Nazi positions."


    "Then I shed tears, tears filled my eyes!"


    "This is the sensational scene of the Avengers gathering, I shed another tear on the captain alone!"


    "As the team leader and the captain of the spiritual core are indispensable, there is no doubt."


    "The experienced captain on the battlefield knows how to direct the battle and let other heroes perform their duties to maximize their abilities. He is the core of the team. In the picture of the Avengers gathering, he is an excellent leader with determination and composure. Thoughtful."


    "The times may progress, and values ??may be refreshed. The avengers'' dedication to courage, dreams and beliefs that have shone in the Avengers has not changed."


    "People who always sneer at superhero movies, of course, can never understand the meaning of dreams and beliefs to other people. People who pretend to be free and easy to affirm that''this society is reality, so I must become reality'' is for I found a good and beautiful excuse for my weakness and compromise."


    "Captain Rogers''s positive energy max is very pure. It can almost be used as a sample textbook. Seeing his calm commanding posture, you will forget that this man, like other superheroes, has his own difficult past."


    "It seems that he has not been rejected, but it is repeatedly refused. In the back alley, it is fat, and the fight is lost, save human beings and the only female who have lost the shackles, and gradually be forgotten in long history, and so experience."


    "Captain Rogers has never compromised with reality. It is expected that he will not compromise in the future, so there will be a civil war between the Avengers in the future."


    Hearing Nicole''s voice, he stopped and sat in his little chair. Sandy, who had been watching her mother seriously, had beautiful blue eyes, "Mommy, is this the dad?"


    After that, she turned to look at Ryan who was reading the notebook, "Dad, is mom complimenting you? I saw you on the cover of the magazine."


    Clicking on a Chinese forum, Ryan browsed it roughly, suppressing a smile, and gently rubbing Sandy''s blonde hair, "Of course, Mommy praised Dad."


    "Awesome!" Sandy cheered and said to Nicole, "Mommy, please continue?"


    "Well, honey."


    Turning over the magazine, Nicole continued to read, "A strong and uncompromising heart is a prerequisite for realizing any dream. That''s why Steve Rogers is qualified to be the first superhero in history!"


    "I don''t understand!" Sandy obviously didn''t understand the true meaning of this sentence.


    "My dear, you just need to remember it now!" Ryan hugged her daughter and put it on her lap. "You will understand in the future. It will benefit you for life."


    "Ok!"


    Sandy nodded his small chin, pointed to the laptop screen in front of him, and said, "Dad, what are you looking at? Can you read it to me like Mommy?"


    "This one¡­¡­"


    Although the daughter certainly didn''t understand what it was talking about, Ryan still translated some interesting posts in this forum into English when she saw the look she was looking forward to.


    In fact, the posts are not unusual. After "Avengers" was screened in China, many Chinese netizens were discussing the idea of ??forming a Chinese Superhero League, so various proposals were made on the forum.


    "If Chinese cartoon characters are also filming the Avengers, it should be awesome! Black Cat Sheriff leads the team, with Monkey King on the left, Third Prince Nezha on the right, and the Calabash Brothers standing behind!"


    "The villains are also easy to find. One ear, the cat and mouse, the scorpion spirit and the snake spirit couple, the Four Seas Dragon King, the bone spirit and other demons and ghosts are trying to rule the world. Fortunately, the Black Cat Sheriff, King Kong Gourd Baby, Monkey King, Nezha, etc. formed justice. The alliance finally defeated evil and brought peace to the world."


    Someone proposed to set up a "Jinyong Martial Arts Alliance" to bring together Linghuchong, Yang Xiao, Baimei Yingwang, Hong Qigong, and the old naughty boy; there is also a "Mingyan Grand Alliance", which includes Pan Jinlian, Xi Shi, Diao Chan, Da Ji, etc... ¡­


    "Dad..." Sandy asked curiously, scratching his face, "Who is Monkey King?"


    "A monkey with magical powers."


    Ryan didn''t know where to start with this pure Eastern mythology, "A hundred times more powerful than Harry Potter anyway."


    "Then... can you tell me?" Sandy straightened up and kissed Ryan **** the face. "It was Mommy who told me intentionally, Dad, you haven''t told me a story yet. "


    "Okay, dear."


    On the other side, Nicole had already put away the magazine, came over and took Sandy away, "It''s getting late, we should change clothes, and we will go to the party later."


    "But..." Sandy''s eyes rolled I really want to hear my father tell a story. "


    "When I go home tonight..." Ryan followed Nicole to the locker room, "I''ll tell you more, okay?"


    "keep your word?"


    "keep your word!"


    Entering the dressing room, Nicole puts on a beautiful princess dress for Sandy, and prepares a dress for Ryan. Then she is busy doing makeup for herself, and Sandy turns around, as naughty as Taylor was when she was a child.


    "Can I see Tyler at the party?"


    "of course."


    "What about Lily? What about Epple?"


    "They will all go." (To be continued...)

 Chapter 849： Still a little naive

    This is a celebration party held within Disney. There are two protagonists. One is "Avengers" which is raging in the North American and overseas film markets, and the other is "Avatar" which has just been released from North America and other parts of the world.


    Among them, the latter''s global box office has reached US$3.04566 million. Although there are still a small number of overseas screenings, they are basically areas where the screening rights are bought out, and the resulting box office has nothing to do with Disney.


    Jos Weyden and James Cameron are naturally the focus of tonight. Although the huge success of the latter is somewhat unexpected, some people can always think that after all, the king of the world has a crazy precedent; and the former will be the Avengers We successfully merged in one place, and created the third masterpiece with a box office of over $500 million in North America, which is surprising.


    "Alison."


    After socializing, Ryan found a place for a group of children to play. This was an internal celebration party in Disney. Many people attended with their families, "I''m optimistic about this group of little guys."


    "There''s Lily..." Taylor sitting in the chair pointed to Lily Moxin, the oldest of the group of children, "Don''t worry."


    "godfather¡­¡­"


    Probably found Ryan, a little guy suddenly ran over, Ryan rubbed her forehead, "Apple, where''s your mommy?"


    "Chat with Godmother."


    Apple Martin, who is about to enter elementary school, pointed to the other side, curled his lips and said, "They don''t play with me."


    "godfather¡­¡­"


    Lily walked over with Sandy, "Dad..."


    "Hey, dears."


    Seeing George Lucas coming here, Ryan said, "You continue."


    After speaking, he left here.


    "Ryan."


    "Hello, George."


    Shaking his hand with George Lucas, Ryan made a please gesture to the chair on one side. "I heard that you traveled around the world some time ago?"


    "Yeah, it''s been a long time since I was so relaxed."


    George Lucas is a smart man. Since he chose to withdraw from Lucasfilm, in order not to affect Disney and Katherine Kennedy''s optimization of Lucasfilm, he simply left North America.


    "Are you interested in being a special adviser for the new "Star Wars"?"


    After the two said a few words, Ryan moved the topic to the preparatory work for the seventh book of "Star Wars" that will begin in the second half of the year, "Maybe you can give some suggestions."


    "Forget it." George Lucas shook his head, "Ryan, I really want to quit commercial production."


    "okay then."


    Ryan didn''t insist, these words were more polite. George Lucas is good at framing the background and worldview, but he is clumsy at handling details. This has been fully demonstrated in the Star Wars series, and it took 30 years for Star Wars to form a complete worldview in the hearts of movie fans. , If you want to continue to succeed in the next few sequels, optimization of the details is essential.


    These are precisely the weaknesses of George Lucas.


    After talking to George Lucas, many people walked over and sat around. Speaking of recent topics about Disney, even the battle between Disney and News Corporation has become the content of Disney''s internal discussions, as a complete winner. Disney employees also have the privilege to belittle their opponents.


    "How about the sequel," Ryan discussed "Avatar" with James Cameron. "Any ideas?"


    "I just hope you can prepare a huge check." James Cameron always cares about technical and financial issues.


    "I don''t think anyone at Disney will object." Ryan himself will not object.


    With the great success of "Avatar". The production cost of the sequel must be increased, but correspondingly, a considerable part of the later promotional cost will be saved. These can all be included in the production costs.


    During the recent period, many people or companies have been in contact with James Cameron. They all have the same mind. They joined the sequel project of "Avatar" on the premise of getting James Cameron. In order to get a share of it.


    However, the truck driver ignored them. After all, his cooperation with Ryan has always been pleasant, and Disney will also provide him with sufficient production costs and sufficient studio and post-production rights. Who knows whether the new investor will become a constraint .


    "father¡­¡­"


    Sandy''s voice suddenly sounded from behind, Ryan turned her head, and she walked over a few steps, "Hello, godfather."


    "Hey, kid."


    James Cameron rubbed Sandy''s blonde hair. "I thought you didn''t remember me."


    Sandy smiled sweetly at him, and then took Ryan''s hand, "Dad, I want to find Mommy."


    "Where is my sister?" Ryan was a little strange.


    "Taylor is talking to Scarlett." Sandy pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "She ignores me."


    "Well, let''s go find Mommy."


    Ryan stood up and said to Cameron, "Jim, talk more when I have time."


    Holding her daughter, Ryan took a short turn in the banquet hall and found Nicole''s place. There were not many people in the place where she was sitting, and the atmosphere was quite cold. No one would be foolish enough to say hello to this moment. Greetings, because the person sitting across from Nicole is...Charlize Theron.


    "Mummy..."


    Freed from Ryan''s hand, Sandy ran directly to his mother, and then shouted to the other side, "Hello, godmother."


    Ryan could see that Nicole''s face seemed a bit unsightly.


    "Mummy..."


    The little guy seemed to be aware. She looked at Nicole and then at Charlize, "Have you quarreled?"


    "How could it be, dear."


    It was Charlize who was talking, and Sandy bit his finger and said seriously, "That''s how Mommy and Dad were when they quarreled."


    "What are you talking about?"


    Pulling a chair, Ryan sat in the outer position between the two of them, "Can you talk about it?"


    "Isn''t your script finished?" Charlize tilted his head, teasing Sandy with his eyes, and said to Ryan, "I think Nicole may be interested in the characters in it."


    "Is that so?" Ryan turned his head. "Nicole?"


    Nicole did not answer, but stared at Charlize closely. The South African Diamond did not show any weakness, looking at Nicole with almost the same look.


    "You two..." Ryan couldn''t help frowning.


    Then, the eyes of the two moved to him at the same time, as sharp as knives.


    "Who are you going to look for as a director?" Nicole asked suddenly.


    "Natalie..." Ryan didn''t mean to hide, "She has promised to be the director of this series."


    Nodded, Nicole said clearly, "Have you planned for a long time?"


    "It''s not too long." Ryan tilted his head and looked at Nicole. "It''s just that I have this idea. It depends on your opinions."


    If a few people object, Ryan will not force it. He just wants to ease the relationship between the few people a little bit, unlike now, every time they meet, it is like seeing a life and death enemy.


    Nicole treats Charlize fairly well, but it is the trouble with Natalie. How many years have they not spoken to each other? It seems that he doesn''t even remember it.


    "Kidman Studio can bear part of the investment."


    Suddenly, Nicole changed into a business-talking attitude, "One-third or half is fine. I can be a producer, but I won''t play any role."


    It is impossible for her to perform under the direction of ¡®Director Portman¡¯. In turn, the producer can restrict the director in many places.


    "You don''t think about it again."


    Without waiting for Ryan to speak, Charlize Theron spoke, "The opportunity is rare."


    "Leave this opportunity to others." Nicole''s attitude was very firm.


    Then, she stood up and walked to the other side. At the same time, she gave her daughter a wink. Sandy waved to Charlize, and tacitly came over to hold Ryan, "Dad, let''s go."


    Waved his hand to Charlize, Charlize made a okay gesture, Ryan took Sandy and walked out of the banquet hall.


    Back in the car in Malibu, Ryan tidyed Sandy''s messy hair, and Nicole, who was opposite, kept looking out the window, and said nothing after getting in the car.


    "Mummy seems to be angry," Sandy whispered in Ryan''s ear, "still mad at you, Dad."


    "Honey." Ryan looked at Nicole, "What do you think?"


    "In this respect..." Nicole''s eyes rolled back from the car window, "You are more naive than I thought."


    Ryan gestured to Nicole to please continue.


    "You want to play Alsace? Menethil, right?"


    Seeing Ryan nodding, Nicole continued, "I played Jaina Proudmoore or Sylvanas Windrunner?"


    "It will only ruin the movie."


    Regardless of Ryan¡¯s thoughts, Nicole took a few deep breaths, and her tone turned to calm. ¡°Don¡¯t be naive, Ryan, it¡¯s the best situation now. If you stick to your own ideas, you will only turn the set into a battlefield, Charlie. Theron is very smart and sleek Maybe she can make some concessions, but don¡¯t forget, Natalie Portman is as proud as me."


    Hearing Nicole''s words, Ryan couldn''t help but squeeze his eyebrows. Maybe he has been in charge of Disney all these years. He has been feeling good. He gradually developed more ideas, but forgot another point. They are not Disney after all!


    Like Nicole said, Charlize may not be the problem. The problem is that Nicole and Natalie, who once had a very good relationship and then hated each other, really only treat this movie with a working attitude?


    Perhaps what I thought was too simple and naive.


    He could almost foresee the tit-for-tat scene between Nicole and Natalie, one of the heroines.


    For the rest of the time, the silent person became Ryan. This incident was obviously not as Charlize thought, and it was far from what he expected, and he couldn''t ask them more.


    It seems that giving up is the best choice? (To be continued...)

 Chapter 850： Perfect farewell

    When "The Avengers" passed the fifth weekend and entered the sixth week of screenings, and the sixth weekend was about to usher in, the North American box office of the film passed the 600 million US dollar mark, and the North American box office of 61.142 million US dollars. Cumulatively, this film has become the second only to "Avatar" and "Titanic". {3w.


    At the same time, the "Avengers" overseas box office has exceeded 800 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office has reached 1.45547 million U.S. dollars, which also firmly occupies the third position in movie history.


    Even so hot, "Avengers" cannot escape the natural laws of the film. Starting from the sixth week, the North American single-day box office of the film has dropped to about 3 million US dollars, and the popularity of overseas regions is also rapidly declining. According to Judging from the current trend, the final global box office will probably be around 1.7 billion US dollars.


    "The Avengers" cooled down, its competitors also breathed a sigh of relief, and the share of summer files shared by film companies other than Disney was also slowly rising.


    However, just like in the past few years, at least one major Disney commercial film will be released every month during the summer vacation. By mid-June, Pixar Studios'' super masterpiece "Toy Story 3" is coming.


    Although it is likely to continue to produce a sequel in the future, Disney has played the final piece of the "Toy Story" trilogy early in its publicity, which has attracted the attention of a large number of fans.


    It''s been more than fifteen years since the first computer-animated feature film in film history. The original fans have grown up. The film means good memories and memories of the past for them!


    Therefore, in addition to the current teenagers, some older groups are also the audience of this film, and the film also plays the banner of nostalgia.


    So, when many people in their thirties or even older appear at the premiere of "Toy Story 3", it is not surprising.


    "I don''t know what to say. This series has accompanied me through a carefree childhood."


    In the interview area, Taylor holding Ryan¡¯s arm seemed to be touched by the reporter¡¯s questioning, ¡°It used to make me cry, make me laugh, touch me, and make me obsessed. In order to collect every toy in it, I used to be a thief in a Pixar office building. To me, "Toy Story" means too much. It will be one of the best memories of my childhood."


    Later, the reporter asked Ryan about his views on this series.


    "Toy Story has an indelible influence in the history of film," Ryan focused on Pixar Studios. "It is the pioneering spirit of Pixar Studios that makes this film not only technically, but also It has opened up a new world in narrative methods."


    "Buzz Lightyear, Hoodie Cowboy and other toys instantly won the love of people of different ages, and their popularity is no less than that of Disney''s traditional classic characters. "Toy Story" has greatly expanded the audience of animated films. It also redefines the rules of film production. It proves that it is completely feasible to make a film that can meet the needs of all kinds of audiences. In fact, "Toy Story" is the film behind it-whether it is an animated film or a live-action film- -Set a benchmark."


    "I remember when we released "Toy Story"," John Lasseter on the other side also accepted an interview, "Ryan said it is our "Snow White". At the time we also thought,''Hey, if "Toys" "Story" really reached the height of "Snow White." It would be a cool thing to become a classic movie that everyone talks about."


    Then, Andrew Stanton took the conversation, "Let everyone know that "Toy Story" is about a certain period of their own life-their childhood. Their family life. "This is what we were back then. The motivation for making "Toy Story" has been our mission for making every movie until now."


    As the Titans from Pixar Studio arrived in the interview area one after another, Ryan took Tyler and took the initiative to leave. They are the protagonists of today, just like the toys that will be on the big screen again.


    "Time flies."


    As he walked towards the theater, Taylor said to Ryan, "In a blink of an eye, fifteen years have passed."


    "At the time, you were still as small as Sonny." Ryan made a narrowing gesture, "It''s taller than Nicole now."


    "Does my height make you very stressed?"


    Looking at the height alone, Taylor wearing vintage high heels has already surpassed Ryan, "I calculated, I now have six feet three inches..."


    "You should consider Scarlett''s feelings more." Ryan didn''t care at all, "not me, dear."


    Shrugging, Taylor obviously didn''t want to continue this topic, and he took Ryan to the back of the front row and sat next to each other.


    "I heard Sonny say..." She brought the topic to Ryan, "You quarreled with Nicole?"


    "It''s not a quarrel." Ryan shook his head. He knew that his daughter was close to Taylor, and he didn''t care about it. "It''s just that there are different opinions on some things, which leads to a little disagreement."


    "It''s really hard to put them together in a movie!"


    This well-informed guy clearly knew the reason, "I wouldn''t be surprised if they fight on set."


    "Do you also think my idea is unrealistic?" Ryan asked.


    "Yeah!" Taylor nodded vigorously, "Although they never confront each other in public, Nicole and Charlize would say a few words when I was there, but Nicole and Nat never talked to each other, even though They are very professional actors and directors, and it is impossible for them to cooperate for a long time, especially you."


    "Okay, dear."


    Seeing Tyler wanted to say something, Ryan stopped her and pointed to the lit screen, "The movie has begun."


    Although the first two "Toy Story" have achieved great success, some viewers are still worried about the third, especially some die-hard fans.


    As a sequel to a classic movie, it is often unthankful. It is often referred to as a "dog''s tail" to steal money. So when Pixar Studios decided to regain the "toy series", many fans were overjoyed and unavoidable. worry.


    "Toy Story 3" has been more than ten years away from the previous one. Pixar simply let Andy in the film grow up and make the decision to dispose of the toys when he leaves home to go to college.


    More than an hour before the development of the plot, there were high tides. In fact, the direction of the plot development can still be seen in the shadow of the first two parts-the contradiction between Hu Di and the toys was stimulated to resolve, and then worked together to achieve the goal.


    Here, there may be viewers picking Pixar repeating the old way, that''s right! This part has fully taken care of the tastes of the children, and the continuous appearance of new characters also makes the film exciting and interesting, but it is not enough to make this film a classic.


    However, the appearance of the second half hour brought the theme of the film to a higher level than the previous two.


    When the toys met in the process of fleeing in the garbage dump, they fell into a huge furnace, weakly but firmly holding hands, smiling at each other, waiting for the death of death, the orange light in the furnace was hitting the toys. , Warm and sad, like the light before the setting sun.


    Although the audience knew that Pixar would not end in this way, they were still moved. They could even hear a clear choking sound in the theater. After all, the toy series have been with them for so many years, and they will never remember Hoodie Cowboy and Buzz Light. Problems that cannot be solved in the year.


    But when all the efforts of the toys are in vain, the hero will eventually come to an end. The audience who watched the series grow up can''t help but sigh-Andy who will grow up, the toy that will be abandoned, everything will change, and this law is also the same in the movie. Be applicable.


    And time not only brings away the fate of the toys being left out, but also takes away too much childhood feelings. So far, the movie has been in the humorous tone, unconsciously extending a trace of melancholy nostalgia.


    Of course, if the film turns into a tragedy, it may really be remembered by many people forever, but it will become a weapon to kill the box office.


    Neither Ryan nor Disney would allow this to happen, and Pixar Studios, which re-focused on the market, did not let tragedy happen.


    Therefore, after Pixar tried the "Forge Adventure" sledgehammer, the toys returned to Andy without any risk.


    The general movie story will probably stop here, and will not lose the viewing degree, but the next choice of Andy is the biggest highlight of the film.


    Under the guidance of Hoodie Cowboy, Andy, who originally planned to hide the toys in the attic, was holding a large box of toys, and determined to give the toys to Bonnie, a little girl who also likes toys.


    When Andy took out the toys and introduced them one by one, he clearly felt Andy''s deep love for the toys, and the more obvious the love, the more reluctant it was.


    In the end, when I took out the Hoodie Cowboy at the bottom of the box unexpectedly There was a deep sigh in the theater, and Ryan even saw Tyler next to him wipe his eyes quietly, starting fifteen years ago. , She is a loyal fan of this series, and the words she said in the interview did not contain much water.


    Although reluctant, this may also be the best ending for the toys. Andy said-they mean a lot to me, and I hope you can treat them well-sighs and a little relief are in his eyes.


    Andy took out the toys and played with Bonnie for a long time. One of the most profound shots-Andy puts Hudi on his neck, laughed and ran into the wind. This shot also appeared in "Toy Story 1" , Echoing from the beginning to the end, there is a little more meaning of separation here, but it is indeed a perfect goodbye.


    Pixar uses the innocence of the audience as an introduction. In the second half of this film, it directly hits the most important thing in their lives.


    When many viewers thought they had caught something after watching the film, some things were actually gone forever. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 851： Thank you, Ryan!

    "Toys play an irreplaceable role in our childhood. We inject our emotions into toys, and give life and abilities to each toy. They were also the shapers of our imagination and enriched our lives. In childhood, probably no one thought of saying goodbye to their toys in the past."


    When they walked out of the theater, Ryan and Tyler were blocked by a Yahoo Entertainment reporter. Tyler simply said a few words, "Indeed, I really didn¡¯t expect that watching "Toy Story 3" would make me cry in the theater, Andy and The scene where the toys said farewell affectionately reminded me of the wonderful things in my life that I had to say goodbye one by one."


    Like many ordinary audiences participating in the premiere, this series also has a special meaning for Taylor, and even when riding in the car, she also said to Ryan, "I have collected so many toys and dolls in the past few days. I rarely go to see them..."


    Whenever a classic movie ends, it will always bring a variety of feelings to the audience. "Toy Story 3", whether it is the picture or the story structure, beats the first two. Even technically, Pixar Studios has a new look. Breakthrough.


    For example, the cuddling bear has a total of 3,473,271 hairs, but it is rendered lifelike by Pixar.


    As a benchmark in the industry, Pixar Studios'' strength in animated films is also beyond doubt.


    For many people, "Toy Story 3" is like a long childhood story-a farewell ceremony, so unforgettable, so direct to the heart, bringing endless joy and tears at the same time.


    "I was deceived. I thought they were going to be in the melting pot and started crying. Later, when Andy introduced Bonnie to Bonnie, I also burst into tears and cried my glasses. In fact, I really I believe that even if the toys are not like that in the movie, they must be thoughtful and spiritual."


    The midnight show of the film belongs to the world of die-hard fans. A reporter from Ryan Disney Family Online interviewed a large number of midnight show audiences in many places across the United States.


    "I cried twice. When I saw that they were about to be melted, everyone held hands. And finally, when Andy gave them to the little girl. But at the last moment, it made me understand that some things will never be returned. coming."


    "I think this movie was written by Ryan for our generation. When I was a child, I always felt that I would be with them for a lifetime. I didn''t expect my life to be so short. It has been a quarter of my life, and I have already completely treated them. I have forgotten it. After I get home, I must go through the pages to find out my childhood memories. Maybe I will relive the childhood scenes again."


    "In the first half, there were several urges to cry. I thought I would be spared this time. I didn''t expect the last few minutes to be so sensational. I was almost crying. This is not an animation for children. It is for adults. fairy tale."


    As the night turned into daylight, the major media in North America also placed the relevant reviews of "Toy Story 3" in the most prominent position of the entertainment version.


    ¡°Toy Story 3 by Pixar Studios has been 15 years from the first and more than 10 years from the second. As an animated cartoon. Such a time span means the earliest through the first love The small audiences on Woody and Buzz Lightyear have entered adulthood. In fact, this is a very unfavorable situation for the sequel of a children''s film."


    "But what Pixar is best at is eating all-you-can-eat. The first hour of the film is to entertain new friends, and the second half is to give back to old friends. Andy has grown from an ignorant little boy to a teenager who is about to enter the university campus. The various experiences in it. It is very easy to make the audience feel substituting. Because of this, the whole film always permeates a kind of pity and sorrow in a relaxed and humorous atmosphere. It is actually a farewell party."


    "New York Times"


    "The film is based on a main story with clear lines and clear motives. The endless emergence and ingenious resolution always lead the audience to integrate into a seemingly far-fetched but interesting process. The main creators of the film have more interpretations of the characters. To be bold, each character has bright spots and outstanding personalities, including villains such as Hug Xiong, who have a rich personality level, especially in the escape scenes, which are full of creativity in the design that uses their respective advantages to cooperate with each other."


    "Washington post"


    ""Toy Story 3" is a far better movie than "Robot Wall" and "Flying House". In 103 minutes, it has never overlooked the audience''s interest. It has elements of action and horror. As well as the lively characters, there is a story that has been moving forward. In short, it has all the humor, touching, exciting and ingenious that a movie should have."


    The Los Angeles Times


    "A sincere and joyful summer film, full of action, humor and nostalgia, it is worthy of the influential pop culture orientation and has an active story atmosphere."


    Yahoo Entertainment


    Traditional film critics have not fallen behind, and Disney''s commercial films have also ushered in a new era of word-of-mouth and box office explosions.


    "Toy Story 3" set off an unprecedented wave of praise for animated films.


    On the second day, the media¡¯s overall score was as high as 96 points, and the freshness of the Rotten Tomatoes website was 97%. Only 3 of the 161 media outlets threw Rotten Tomatoes, "Arizona Republic", "Box Office Magazine" , "Christian Science Monitor", "Entertainment Weekly", "Hollywood Reporter", "New York Daily News", "Film Online", "New Orleans Times", "New York Times", "Los Angeles Times", "Oregonian" Newspaper, Time, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Entertainment and American Salon will all generously give super high scores of 10 or 9 points.


    In the field survey of audience data by the market research organization re, which can best reflect the audience¡¯s reputation, the audience rating of "Toy Story 3" is the highest level of a+. This is also the second North American film this year after the "Avengers". movie of.


    For Ryan and Disney, as long as the mainstream audience is willing to buy it, everything else can be thrown aside.


    The box office of "Toy Story 3" also reflects this appropriately. Although the box office at Midnight is only 8.8 million US dollars, this is an animated movie, and it also created a North American midnight box office record for an animated feature film!


    In the daytime on Friday, "Toy Story 3" was screened on more than 8,200 screens in 4,028 theaters in North America. Although the film was unveiled in overseas markets in advance, it did not affect the enthusiasm for movies in the United States and the radiation of the audience¡¯s huge reputation. It''s all about making the movie''s box office icing on the cake.


    On the day of the opening of the painting, the film won US$48.15 million in North America, which also broke the North American premiere record of an animated feature film held by Pixar Studios. Even if you look at the whole world, this is the expectation of an animated film in a single market. Unattainable results.


    On the other hand, "Jonah Hex", which opened at the same time as "Toy Story 3", became a tragedy. In one day on Friday, this giant Warner Bros. movie only earned more than 2 million US dollars in North America, and it was almost necessary for Warner The brother¡¯s producer''s heart stopped beating, and the audience''s bad reviews for film d also prompted the famous Hollywood producer to say that Josh Brolin, who specializes in taking over the film, ended his good fortune.


    Correspondingly, "Toy Story 3" has been applauded. Netizens have reposted each other''s views on the film on Twitter and Facebook.


    "As the end of the "Toy Story" trilogy, the film arranges an exciting ending for Andy and the toys. For children, toys not only represent a kind of life pleasure and spiritual dependence, but also become a long life. The indelible coordinates of life in China."


    "Maybe we can''t experience the dramatic gatherings between toys and toys like Andy, but at least the film reminds us of the toys that have accompanied us through our lonely childhood. For most people, I am afraid that there is no such thing. Opportunity to do like Andy, whether their missing destiny will stir your heartstrings under the inspiration of "Toy Story 3" is a touchstone to test your childlike innocence and feelings."


    "The dialogue between Andy and the little girl Bonnie actually implies the transmission and continuation of childlike innocence. When Andy passionately introduced Bonnie to these toys that accompany him through his unforgettable childhood, the shock and melancholy produced here are okay. It is comparable to the opening 10 minutes of "Flying House", and the expression is more basic and natural. The last 20 minutes of "Toy 3" alone are enough to make this film immortal, which is also the true value of Pixar Animation Where."


    For viewers who have watched the first part of "Toy Story", this movie is like a live-action film of "Transformers" to the steel wires, which means too much. UU reading


    "I think "Toy Story" is in the third grade of elementary school, and "Toy Story 3" is a college graduate... I want to say that this is a gift from Ryan to our generation. Goodbye, my childhood! Thank you, Ryan! Thank you, Pixar!"


    "The touching thing about "Toy Story 3" is that it gave us old guys a formal opportunity to say goodbye to our childhood. When Andy, who was in college, once again carried the Hoodie Cowboy on his back, fifteen years So friendly and tenderly disappeared into the sunset in the distance of Muzha House."


    "Finally, when Andy counted his toys, it made me realize that I just grew up like this, and my toys will never go back to the past. "Toy Story" has imprinted in my heart since I was a child. Toys are small lives with emotions. There are emotions in dimensions that we don¡¯t know. Moreover, compared to real life, toys will bring less pressure to me. Toys will not die. As long as you don¡¯t abandon them, you should never abandon them. Abandon them..."


    In the praise on the Internet, "Toy Story 3" passed the first weekend after its release... (to be continued...)

 Chapter 852： Flying around in summer

    Friday was 48.15 million U.S. dollars; on Saturday, there was a slight decline, but it also had 45.55 million U.S. dollars; on Sunday, the decline expanded again, but the result of 36.58 million U.S. dollars was also impressive.


    In the first three days, the North American box office of "Toy Story 3" reached 130.28 million U.S. dollars!


    As a feature-length animated film with a relatively long period of value preservation in theaters, such a box office in the first week almost indicates that "Toy Story 3" will inevitably be a big seller.


    In terms of overseas box office, "Toy Story 3" performed well in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, New Zealand, Australia and even Latin America, but in the Far East, it suffered from many reasons such as the character image and the typical Western themes contained in it. To a certain degree of cold reception.


    Especially in the Chinese market where "Avatar" has sold more than 1.598 billion RMB, "Toy Story 3" received mediocre response. In the first three days, it only got less than 50 million RMB at the box office.


    Of course, this is not just the reason of "Toy Story 3" itself. The Chinese animation film market has not yet fully formed. The animated films that can be sold in China are not such full-age animation feature films, but are specially made for ten. A completely juvenile movie watched by children aged and below.


    However, even if it is cold in the Far East, the overseas box office of "Toy Story 3" in the first week is still as high as nearly 200 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office totaled up to 328.99 million U.S. dollars!


    This is already an achievement that allows Walt Disney and Pixar Studios to hold a celebration party.


    When the box office of "Avengers", which is a fast-moving consumer product in theaters, turned to be flat, "Toy Story 3" once again stimulated Walt Disney''s box office money-making journey.


    Although in the first four working days of the second week, the film¡¯s single-day box office inevitably dropped below US$20 million, the North American box office of "Toy Story 3" easily exceeded US$200 million before the second weekend. It reached more than 229.45 million U.S. dollars, and in the three days of the second weekend, another 67.55 million U.S. dollars was obtained from North America!


    Only ten days. The North American box office of "Toy Story 3" reached more than 297 million US dollars, and the North American box office exceeded 300 million US dollars.


    The global box office of the film came to a height of 624.71 million US dollars!


    At this time, no one doubts that the North American box office of "Toy Story 3" can exceed 400 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office can exceed 1 billion U.S. dollars!


    The ending song of the "Toy Story" series is bound to create the myth of the animated feature film.


    However, the box office is only a relatively small part of the film''s revenue, and what really makes Disney burst into is the peripheral products of "Toy Story".


    From the large-scale publicity and release of "Toy Story 3" to the super-sale now at the box office, sales of goods related to the movie have reached 680 million US dollars!


    Many Wall Street agencies and Walt Disney''s own calculation department predict that in mid-2010, Disney will get about 2.5 billion US dollars in revenue from the sales of peripheral products of "Toy Story 3"!


    "Ratuitou" and "Robot Walli" are still relying on the peripheral income in the later period to strive to accumulate profits. Compared with these two commercially unsuccessful works, "Toy Story 3" has exploded their ten streets. If there are no accidents, at least ten years or even longer, "Ratuiture King" and "Robot Walli" "There will be no sequels, or even sequels forever.


    And "Toy Story 4" will definitely enter the future planning of Disney''s senior management.


    In fact, if you want to identify whether such commercial works are really a huge success, you will know if they have sequels. Commercially-oriented Hollywood producers and distributors will not let go of every opportunity to make money.


    "The "Toy Story" series is really over?"


    Walk by Ryan''s side. Natalie asked while looking at the surrounding scenery, "Is there no fourth one?"


    There is no depression in Australia in winter, and Queensland is full of green trees. It didn''t seem to have any smell of winter. Ryan and Natalie were all looking around while walking on the path among the woods. This was already the fifteenth location they checked.


    "There will definitely be."


    Ryan was very satisfied with this pristine forest. "It''s a good place. It can be used as a location for the Kingdom of Lordaeron."


    Then he answered Natalie''s question just now. "In fact, "Toy Story 4" is already on Disney''s future schedule, but it will take a few more years. After all, the trilogy has just ended."


    "I will let the assistant contact the owner here." Natalie stopped and looked into the distance through the sparse woods. "Let''s go back."


    "Okay." Ryan nodded and turned and walked out of the woods. Natalie took his arm and asked, "Ryan, since I have accepted your script, as the director, I think I should be here. Have a little say in the selection of actors."


    "Do you have any suggestions?" Ryan asked, turning his head.


    "You understand."


    The smart girl didn''t say it straight, but closed her mouth.


    "Okay, okay." Ryan sighed, "Since everyone is against it, then I will give up. The job of selecting actors should be left to you and Julis."


    The two did not continue discussing this issue. After returning to the hotel to pack their luggage, they started flying around the world. China, Russia, Norway, Greenland, Canada and even Oregon and Montana have all left Ryan and Natalie''s footprint, in order to select a suitable location, they almost took a quick round the world trip.


    When returning to North America, Ryan and Natalie had reached a consensus on many location locations for the film, and the filming of the film would also be selected in the Gold Coast Warner Film World studio. In the early contacts, the Australian government has already promised A 14% tax rebate will be provided for this huge magical epic masterpiece, and even if the film can be completely shot and produced in Australia, the Australian authorities are also prepared to spend millions of Australian dollars to pay for part of the film¡¯s expenses.


    As the main person in charge of the film, Ryan, Natalie and Julis Stewart also met.


    "The outdoor scenes of the film will be shot on the spot as much as possible."


    Sitting in the reception room, Ryan was sipping coffee and said to other production teams headed by Julius, "The special effects production will be completely handled by Industrial Light and Magic, and their special effects production team is already under preparation. "


    "I went to many places with Ryan." Natalie took the initiative. "Most of the filming and production will be carried out in Australia. The Australian authorities will also provide necessary support to the crew."


    Then, I talked about some other matters prepared by the crew. Julius Stewart has rich experience, and Natalie as the director is no longer a fledgling rookie. Ryan does not need to do these things.


    As for the choice of actors, Ryan was completely handed over to Natalie and Jules Stewart.


    Of course, as the head of Kidman Studios, one of the film investors, Nicole did not participate in this preparatory meeting, and she does not have to worry that Ryan or Disney will pit investors like other major Hollywood companies. .


    This magical epic, temporarily code-named ¡®Warcraft¡¯, has officially entered the preparatory stage.


    Afterwards, Ryan flew to South Africa and, as a guest, accompanied Charlize Theron to watch the South African World Cup finals in the football city of Johannesburg and witnessed the birth of the Spanish dynasty.


    "What a dirty game."


    Looking at the desperate Orange Army, Charlize Howe relentlessly ridiculed, "This is the Dutch team least like the Dutch team. They played too dirty."


    "De Jong can go to take a Hollywood action movie."


    With the voice boiling, Ryan and Charlize almost talked in each other¡¯s ears, "In the first half, I really doubted that Harvey Alonso would die."


    "This Dutch team is not worthy of a championship either." Charlize murmured a little closer, "Roughness and violence are simply synonymous with them."


    "The winner will not be blamed." Ryan said.


    This is indeed the case. If the Dutch won the World Cup championship, the outside world would only think that they were tactically well, and successfully suppressed Spain by fouling and the so-called tough confrontation, instead of the flood of accusations that will inevitably come in the future.


    After Casillas raised the Hercules Cup, Ryan and Charlize took the lead to leave the Johannesburg Sports City, and the two have to prepare for a dinner jointly organized by the South African government and FIFA later.


    When returning to the hotel and changing the dress, Charlize suddenly asked Ryan, "I heard that the crew has begun preparations?"


    "I just had a preparatory meeting before I came here." Ryan faced the mirror and adjusted his bow tie. Charlize came to take over the job. "Well, what about my heroine?"


    "My dear..." Ryan couldn''t help having a headache. "You know the difficulty of this matter. I was just trying it out. Didn''t you just treat it as a joke?"


    "But I take it seriously now." Charlize''s eyes flashed with innocence I was completely responsible for the casting work. "


    Since being awakened by Nicole and Taylor, Ryan has been trying his best to prevent the future studio from becoming a battlefield, and simply changed the subject, "My dear, for more than a year, you have to take care of the World Cup in addition to busy ct affairs. Propaganda activities should also have a long holiday."


    "After attending this dinner,"


    After taking the tuxedo jacket, Charlize helped Ryan put it on, "Let¡¯s go on vacation together."


    The dinner was held in the state banquet hall of the South African government. In addition to many high-ranking officials in South Africa and many FIFA officials, Ryan also met Mandela. The former president of South Africa is already very old and may leave the world at any time. Although the opponent is a legend, in the eyes of Ryan, he is nothing more than a strange politician.


    After attending the dinner, Ryan and Charlize flew directly to Lanai, where they spent a week of vacation. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 853： despicable Me

    The Hawaiian sun is always so hot, shining on the sea in front of the crescent beach, and the rugged water seems to be unchanged throughout the year. Ryan''s feet swayed vigorously, and the slight sound of water rushed out. On the sea surface, he reached out his hand to wipe the water droplets on his face, and swam his arms towards the beach. ~


    Walking onto the soft sandy beach, he came directly under a huge sun umbrella. Charlize dressed in a swimsuit was wearing sunglasses, lying on a beach chair and reading the latest newspaper. His relaxed expression seemed particularly pleasant.


    Taking the towel and wiping the water droplets on his hair and upper body casually, Ryan sat on another beach chair next to him.


    "Don''t you go for a swim?" Ryan asked Charlize.


    "The sun is too strong."


    This is the hottest season of the year in Hawaii. Charlize tilted his head and looked at the golden sand that was irradiated by the sun. "I don''t want to get sun spots."


    She turned to look at the fruit bowl on the table next to her, "I want to eat pineapple."


    Directly moved the small table in front of him, Ryan took a special fruit knife and a fresh pineapple, peeled off the skin skillfully, and cut it into a slightly larger pudding shape. After putting it in another tray, it was inserted on it. Thin toothpicks.


    "what¡­¡­"


    Turning his head to Ryan, Charlize opened his mouth.


    Gently pinching her nose, Ryan picked up a small piece of pineapple and sent it into the mouth of the South African Diamond. After she bit it cooperatively, he pulled out the toothpick and threw it into the trash can behind.


    "The taste seems to be very different." Charles showed an expression of enjoyment, and Ryan brought a piece of pineapple to her mouth and said, "Because this is a love pineapple."


    Charlize bit off the pineapple first, then took off his sunglasses, put it on the table together with the newspaper, stretched out a long waist, "Time flies so fast. I haven''t completely relaxed yet, a week will pass."


    "We can come again when we have time." Ryan put down the fruit bowl, resting his head in both hands, lying on the beach chair, "This is our private territory."


    "I''ve decided." Charlize lay on his side, facing Ryan, "After I go back, I will go to the Caribbean and buy an island as my private domain."


    Ryan laughed, and said nothing. With Charlize¡¯s current billion-dollar wealth, buying a private island is just a breeze. After several years of development, ct Natural Treasure can bring hundreds of millions of dollars in net profits every year.


    The two of them lay on the beach chairs, chatting without a word, and the topic gradually shifted to this summer file.


    "I just read the newspaper." Charlize took the newspaper on the table and turned to the entertainment section. "DreamWorks Animation Studio''s "Despicable Me" received a good response, and the box office in the first week was also very good."


    "How much is the North American box office?" Ryan took Charlize''s sunglasses. Wearing it on his face, the South African Diamond couldn''t help but glared at him, "$62.58 million, presumably Jeff Katzenberg will be very happy."


    "Yeah." Ryan nodded.


    Compared to the film¡¯s box office. Disney is even more concerned about the surroundings. Ryan, who has experienced it, knows exactly how powerful the Minions are.


    "Movies with negative characters as the protagonist are rare." Charlize muttered, "I didn''t expect to be successful."


    "Don''t forget. My dear," Ryan reminded him, "This movie doesn''t take the crime of publicizing the villain as the keynote."


    Charlize has not seen the film. Curious, Ryan simply explained a few words, ¡°The protagonist¡¯s evil atmosphere and earth-shaking conspiracy at the beginning of the film is actually more of a pavement for his hurried hands and feet in front of the three orphans. With an adult¡¯s vicious appearance, in The bewilderment and ugliness in front of children are used to make jokes, which is a model that Hollywood has tried and tested."


    "This role still ends with the protagonist himself becoming a hero. He slowly changes and embraces this change enthusiastically. From a guy who laughs at a neighbor¡¯s dog to a person who redefines the meaning of family, a true hero is precisely This heroic transformation allowed him to correct the mistakes he had made."


    Hearing what Ryan said, and remembering the script outline and character setting drafts he had seen before, Charlize nodded, "So, the film is still full of growth themes, a villain who played out with crazy plans for bizarre conspiracies, because of his father-like identity. And grow up and become a superhero, is that right?"


    "That''s right." Ryan gave her a thumbs up. "So, "Despicable Me" is just a very common Hollywood vulgar story. Its script is medium-level at best, but the minions saved it all. ."


    You know, when he first handed the first draft of "Despicable Me" to DreamWorks Animation Studios, he focused on the image and setting of the minions. It is no exaggeration to say that if there were no such group of minions, " Despicable Me is not much different from other animated feature films produced by DreamWorks Animation Studios.


    "Despicable Me" can be regarded as a typical vulgar story plus the success of the Hollywood production model.


    The time was getting closer to noon, and the outdoor temperature continued to rise. The beach was obviously hot. Ryan and Charlize returned to the locker room, took a shower and changed clothes, and took the battery car directly back to the private estate not far away. The two of them hid in the cool. In his bedroom, enjoying the last afternoon of the holiday.


    However, as the vacation time between the two people has increased, more and more people are calling, and their mobile phones will ring from time to time. Although they will inevitably be discouraged when doing certain things, there are some things that do require two. People make decisions.


    For Disney¡¯s side, it¡¯s okay. The daily management work is the responsibility of the management team. However, Charlize has always held the ultimate decision-making power of ct Nature¡¯s Treasure. In the past few years, the scale of ct Nature¡¯s Treasure has expanded rapidly. Ryan''s foundation provides interest-free loans and does not worry about funding. Although, like all companies, the management will hold a certain amount of shares, Charlize has absolute controlling rights.


    Today, although ct natural treasure is not listed, Wall Street has valued it more than one billion US dollars.


    For a traditional industry company that has only been established for a few years, this is a miracle.


    In fact, Charlize also knows very well that if there is no strong support from Ryan and Disney, CT has used the huge Disney platform in its development, and the current natural treasure of CT will be out of the question.


    This is also the result of Ryan''s deliberate guidance. As his position in Hollywood becomes more prominent, the people around him must also develop accordingly. If he falls behind too much, the differences between the two sides will naturally occur.


    "correct¡­¡­"


    Going to the bathroom to wash away the traces of intimacy, Charlize casually put on a nightdress and sat cross-legged on the sofa. "When will the animated feature film dubbed by Alison be released?"


    "This year''s Christmas file." Ryan wrapped in a bath towel, then walked out of the bathroom and sat opposite Charlize. "When the summer file is over, the publicity will begin."


    It took more than four years from the beginning of preparations to the completion of the final production of "Ice and Snow Adventure", and it is the harvest season.


    "Alison paid a dividend of 10 million dollars from the ct account." Charlize continued.


    "Um..." Ryan nodded, "She is going to buy a mansion in Malibu."


    "She and Scarlett..." Charlize immediately thought of the other side.


    "Yes." Ryan couldn''t help but squeezed his eyebrows. "They are going to be formal."


    "God." Charlize couldn''t help covering his forehead.


    "It''s not just that."


    Just like seeing the older brother whose sister is about to marry, Ryan couldn''t tell what it was like, "Alison told me some time ago that she plans to propose to Scarlett..."


    Hearing Ryan''s words, Charlize''s face became even more exciting.


    In fact, Ryan was also a little surprised. He didn''t think that Taylor suddenly returned to normal one day. After all, the girl''s feelings are always changing.


    Of course, Taylor is an adult, and he will not interfere.


    Time flies quickly. Early the next morning, Ryan and Charlize returned to Los Angeles on a private jet. Under the shroud of intense heat, the summer vacation of 2010 gradually came to an end.


    Nothing different from previous years, the theme of this summer archive is still called Disney production, and several of Walt Disney''s key projects have achieved success.


    In August, "Alice in Wonderland", which was still dangling in the single-digit theaters in North America, completely bid farewell to the global film market. This "Avatar" 3d wave followed suit and achieved great success. The almost real 3D effect attracted a large number of movie fans into the theater, and finally harvested a box office figure of 1.089.72 million US dollars from the world.


    "The Avengers", which was released in early May, is also nearing the end of the screening. There are only less than 300 theaters left in North America. The single-day box office can only be said to be better than nothing. However, it won US$612.45 million and US$612.45 million in North America and globally US$1.6978.85 billion has made it firmly occupy the third place in movie history, and even the final global box office will inevitably exceed the US$1.7 billion mark Then there is "Toy Story 3". When the film was released globally for two months, the North American box office officially exceeded US$400 million, and the global box office easily reached US$1.05 billion. Although this is not the final box office result, it is enough to make "Toy Story 3" the highest box office in history. An animated feature film.


    When nearly eight months in 2010, when the North American media and industry professionals looked back, three films had a North American box office of more than 400 million U.S. dollars, and a global box office of 1 billion U.S. dollars.


    And the three movies of "Alice in Wonderland", "Avengers" and "Toy Story 3" are all produced by Walt Disney. They are the same as the box office hotspots of the movie, and there are super sales of peripheral products. After the merger, fusion and development in 2015, Walt Disney finally ushered in a moment of super explosion.


    Walt Disney, under the control of Ryan, is now truly the world''s No. 1 media group! (To be continued...)

 Chapter 854： Ryans Disney Empire

    "sister¡­¡­"


    Unlocking Ryan''s hand, Sandy ran all the way to Taylor, put her little hand on her back, and asked curiously, "Is this your new home?"


    "Yeah, do you like it." Tyler bent over and kissed Sandy''s forehead.


    "very beautiful!"


    Like a little adult, Sandy pulled Tyler through the living room and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window. A few childish words that fit his age popped out, "Why is the ocean here the same as Mommy''s?"


    "Because I chose it deliberately."


    Turning around, Tyler beckoned to Ryan and Nicole who came after him, "Whatever you want, I won''t say hello."


    "Alison has a good vision."


    Looking around the living room and the surrounding rooms, Nicole took Ryan and walked back again, "The decoration you fancy is too sturdy, not suitable for Alison''s age and personality."


    "Nicole is right." Tyler walked over with Sandy. "Ryan has always had a poor vision in this regard."


    "Hmm..." Sandy also nodded his head, "Daddy has a problem with his aesthetics."


    "My dear." Ryan was almost tilted his nose by these three women. "Do you know what aesthetics mean?"


    "Um..." Sandy couldn''t help scratching his blonde hair, "but it''s what Mommy said."


    Nicole took the daughter in Taylor''s hands and let her walk by herself, "Let''s go and see in the garden."


    As the back of the villa is a sandy beach, the garden is built on the left, where Taylor¡¯s favorite hydrangea is planted here. Walking among the flowers, you can occasionally hear the calls of robins.


    This is the new mansion that Taylor bought in Malibu. It has a total area of ??about eight acres. Like the residences of Ryan and Nicole, it not only occupies a separate cliff, but in front of the villa, there is a road to the middle of the woods. Long private passage at the main entrance. Even if the paparazzi uses the most advanced telephoto lens, they cannot sneak pictures of the mansion.


    Next to the private beach behind the mansion, there is a small pier. On the pier, Scarlett¡¯s small yacht is parked. If you go by sea, you can reach the residences of Ryan and Nicole in ten minutes at most, even if it¡¯s a circle. The land route will not exceed twenty-five minutes, and the distance between not far and near is very suitable.


    After going around the garden, front courtyard and woods, Ryan and the others walked back to the villa. Follow Tyler through the living room to a terrace at the back, sitting around an oak round table, enjoying the sea scenery while sipping coffee from the servant.


    "The butler was recommended by Elsa." Taylor put down the coffee cup and hugged Sandy, who was turning around her, to his seat. "The servant and the chef have signed a non-disclosure agreement on the side of Lawyer Wilson Jr., don''t worry. All right."


    "Have Scott and Andrea come to see it?"


    When Nicole cared, Taylor pointed to Ryan. "Mom and Dad went to China together, and talked about several investments for him."


    "Don''t forget, my dear." Ryan flicked the armrest of the chair. "You have your share in the foundation."


    "We are only responsible for collecting money for the time being." Tyler leaned in front of Sandy. He pressed her forehead, "We don''t care about everything else! Is that so, Sunny."


    "Yes!" Sandy smiled and his eyes were bent, "I want to buy a lot of toys. I want the latest Barbie!"


    "No, my dear." Tyler shook her little nose, "You should be a Transformer!"


    "But that''s a boy''s toy."


    Thinking light gleamed in the azure blue eyes. Sandy shook his head, "I still like Barbie."


    As it approached noon, Lily Moxin¡¯s nanny sent Lily here again. This was also the first formal party since Taylor moved. Although there were not many people, the atmosphere was very happy.


    After lunch, Ryan left Taylor''s new home alone, drove to Burbank, in the afternoon at Disney headquarters, there was a signing ceremony and press conference waiting for him.


    Although the formal agreement was signed long ago, Walt Disney still called a press conference for the cooperation with DreamWorks.


    As the true controllers of the two companies, Ryan and Spielberg will certainly not be absent from the signing ceremony.


    There were hundreds of reporters gathered in Disney''s press conference hall. For Hollywood, DreamWorks chose Walt Disney in the end. There was no accident. After all, everyone wanted to choose a more powerful publisher.


    Surrounded by several cameras and illuminated by countless flashes, Ryan and Spielberg walked onto the rostrum together, signed their names on the duplicate documents, and happily shook hands.


    According to this agreement, in the five years from September, Disney will become the new distributor of DreamWorks, and will also consider investing in DreamWorks film projects as appropriate, such as Spielberg¡¯s "Alabrham? Lincoln.


    It is no exaggeration to say that with the surrender of DreamWorks, one of Hollywood''s second-tier leaders, Disney has become a super giant covering the entire Hollywood.


    "This is a strong alliance."


    Next, Ryan will inevitably accept an interview, "DreamWorks has excellent production capabilities, and Walt Disney has a complete distribution channel and a broad promotional platform, the combination of DreamWorks and Disney will be a win-win cooperation."


    Later, the reporter asked Spielberg why he chose Walt Disney.


    The old man said, "DreamWorks has encountered a serious crisis. It was Ryan and Disney who invigorated DreamWorks. The relationship between DreamWorks and Disney is deep. From the day DreamWorks re-selected the publisher, Disney has been Our highest priority."


    DreamWorks, which focuses on production, has further strengthened Disney''s strength in live-action movies after being embraced by Disney.


    "Perhaps Hollywood in the future will be more appropriate to describe it as Disney plus five other large film companies."


    Many media in North America used similar words the next day.


    As they said, Disney not only stood in the front row of the film industry, but also stood at the forefront of the entire media industry.


    As we all know, the Walt Disney Company has more than 126,000 employees worldwide. In addition to the United States, it has its own offices in 74 countries. The entire Disney Group has a complete and strong industrial chain. The largest super media group company by market value.


    Just look at its six major departments to know how powerful Walt Disney is.


    Up to now, Walt Disney''s business is mainly divided into six major divisions: radio and television media group, theme parks and resorts, film and television entertainment group, consumer products department, interactive media department and online media group.


    The radio and television media group includes the production and distribution of domestic and international television in the United States, as well as cable networks and program production and broadcasting, etc., covering Disney¡¯s entertainment and sports program network (espn), Disney cable television network and ABC () three major television networks.


    The business, income and profit of the TV media group are relatively stable. At the same time, TV programs can also be produced into DVDs and Blu-ray discs, and the benefits can be even greater.


    In terms of theme parks and resorts, Disneyland has always been Walt Disney¡¯s signature brand in the world. Today, Disney owns California Disney Adventure Park, Florida Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, and the Shanghai Disneyland that opened last year. Sea Disneyland!


    Around the world, Disney Cruise Line also owns several Disney cruise ships such as "Dream", "Magic" and "Miracle".


    For the film and television entertainment group, Disney owns the most enviable production and distribution companies in the world, including Disney Pictures, Marvel Films, Touchstone Films, Disney Nature, Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, DreamWorks Animation studios, Disney Music Group, Disney Stage Theater Group, Lucasfilm and Jenkins Pictures have built Disney¡¯s cornerstone industry.


    In addition to the companies that have the dual functions of publishing and production, Disney also owns Bowei International, a special publishing label.


    In general, in the pure film and television industry, Disney¡¯s profit last year was only $2.898 billion, which is not outstanding among the entire Walt Disney Company, but it is precisely the most critical department of the Walt Disney Company. Because it is branding and shaping the character image, it provides basic resources for Disney''s other industries. Without these resources, the market value of Disney''s products will be greatly reduced.


    The Disney Consumer Products Division is the world¡¯s largest copyright licensor, with tens of thousands of authorized products. Relying on the film and television industry, they adopt continuous innovative methods to stimulate consumers from all over the world to join the ranks of Disney consumers. in.


    It is composed of Disney Copyright Authorization Department, Disney Global Publishing Department and Disney Store Department.


    The Disney Interactive Media Department consists of two parts: Disney Interactive Platform and Disney Interactive Games Through Internet channels, social networking sites, mobile platforms, computers and other platforms, tens of thousands of products from the six major brands of The Walt Disney Company Including movies, TV shows, sports performances, stage plays, theme parks and resorts are all placed in front of consumers, so that consumers can conveniently buy all kinds of Disney products they want at any time and any place.


    The last one is the Internet Media Group, which is also a department that Ryan has built after getting Disney.


    It includes Ryan Disney Home Online, video sites and hulu, online film rental provider Netflix, one of the eight major portal sites in the United States, Disney Online, a wholly-owned subsidiary Twitter, and a holding subsidiary Facebook, and so on.


    Coupled with some small and medium-sized websites, they form Disney''s online media.


    Although there are other small businesses, these six major departments are the backbone of the Walt Disney Group! (To be continued...)

 Chapter 855： Black-hearted capitalist

    "Ellen, the movie can''t completely copy the game''s settings."


    Walking in the factory of Industrial Light and Magic, Ryan said to Alan Adhan, the president of Blizzard who came here specifically, "This film is derived from novels and games, yes, but if you copy the game, it will only become a disaster. ."


    "But in the script..." Alan Adhan was obviously not satisfied with Ryan''s script. "The Horde not only became a complete villain, even the final Icecrown Citadel did not participate."


    "This is a movie!"


    Ryan has the urge to cover his forehead, no wonder some people always say that the tribe is Blizzard¡¯s own son, "The length of the film is limited, it is impossible to cover everything, and the protagonist is Arthas Menethil, and the focus is on the Kingdom of Lordaeron. With the story of the undead from the natural disasters, it is impossible for us to take a long time to shape the characters of the tribe."


    "Ok."


    In fact, Alan Adhan also knows that he is nothing more than a layman for movies, but he is not reconciled to the tribes just making soy sauce.


    Even if Alan Adhan came to Industrial Light and Magic to see him in person, Ryan would not change his mind, as he said, movies cannot be like novels and games, with so many heroes in one brain. The protagonist of this film is Alsace, and the supporting role besides the protagonist is also mainly used to shape the people around Alsace.


    Instead of letting the fully facialized tribe come out to make soy sauce, it''s better to simply serve as the background.


    {Long + wind


    "Ellen, this is just the beginning of the movie."


    When entering the prop warehouse, Ryan continued to say to him, "If the trilogy can be successful, we can completely make it into a series like "X-Men". Tribes, alliances, and even those centrists can all be done. Continue to derive."


    "If the trilogy can be successful," Alan Adhan said quickly, "I really hope Thrall will be on the big screen."


    Sure enough, the tribe is the son of Blizzard.


    Hear what the other person said. Ryan can only sigh in this way, but these are future things. If the current trilogy fails to succeed, the so-called extension is just a delusion.


    "These are all props designed by Industrial Light & Magic for the movie."


    The huge warehouse was filled with swords, armor, and even some''skeleton racks''. Ryan pointed casually, "Allen, you can look around. Most of the designs are borrowed from the weapons in the game, but not so. Cumbersome."


    Those magnificent messy weapons can appear in the game. But appearing in the movie is a disaster. The designers of Industrial Light and Magic have kept the characteristics of the game props and simplified it to a certain extent to make it look more like a combat weapon, rather than gorgeous. Decorations.


    "Hi, Nat."


    Let the Industrial Light and Magic people accompany Alan Adhan, Ryan walked directly to the innermost part of the warehouse and found Natalie who was checking the props. "how are you feeling?"


    "Well, not bad." Natalie put down the Helm of Domination in her hand, "Seeing these props, here is mine..."


    She pointed to her forehead. "A lot of pictures were automatically generated."


    "How''s your draft of the shot?" Ryan took his weapon from the shelf and tried the weight. Although it was not very heavy, it didn''t feel light and light. "Do you need my help?"


    Natalie shook her head, "Don''t worry, it won''t delay the start of the movie."


    The preparatory period for the film is as long as six months. Whether it is Natalie as the director or Industrial Light & Magic who has contracted special effects, it takes time to prepare for the filming.


    This is a super giant production cost as high as 150 million US dollars, not a small production that invests tens of millions or even millions of dollars.


    Although the success of the game movie is very rare, Disney has prepared a huge amount of money for this movie.


    Swiping the power of Menethil in his hand, Ryan put it back, and then picked up Frostmourne from the other side. It was made of aluminum alloy, and the weight was far less heavy than it seemed.


    Of course, this is only a concept version, after all, the sword will not appear in the first part of the film.


    The current Industrial Light and Magic is completely owned by Walt Disney. Although its profitability can only be regarded as mediocre, it is an indispensable and even a key part of film production. After the acquisition of Lucasfilm, it also made up for it. With the last shortcoming of the entire group, future Disney films can be produced and sold on their own.


    This time, Ryan and Natalie were to check the preparatory progress of Industrial Light and Magic. After checking the props, they went to the special effects department. Some clips that only depend on the cg screen were provided. Natalie provided a draft of the shots and After the general idea, Industrial Light & Magic has already started the pre-design.


    In general, the preliminary preparations of Industrial Light and Magic are very reassuring. Ryan and Natalie did not stay long and left San Francisco by car.


    "To make Northrend''s snow scene..."


    On the car back, Natalie was still discussing the work of the crew with Ryan, "Industrial Light & Magic''s special effects team went to Greenland and the Arctic some time ago to shoot scenes. I don''t plan to shoot snow scenes on the spot. This part will be synthesized by cg."


    "You are the director." Ryan didn''t mean to object at all. Compared to Natalie today, he can only be regarded as a layman in the director industry. "You have the final say in the specific shooting."


    "Morik has gone to Australia." Natalie mentioned was the executive producer of the film. "Supervised the setting of the Warner Movie World studio. If nothing else, we can start shooting around February next year. Up."


    "Ok."


    Ryan nodded, and suddenly thought of another important question, "Nate, where''s the actor?"


    "The special effects of the film are the focus of the cost." Natalie obviously considered it very clearly. "The crew has a limited budget in terms of actor salaries, including your 20 million US dollars. Therefore, in addition to the male and female protagonists, Julius and I I don¡¯t plan to invite first-line actors."


    "This is a wise decision."


    The age of relying on celebrities to attract the box office has long passed. Just look at Depp¡¯s "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the five consecutive bashings. Ryan very much agrees with Natalie and Julis.


    "The highlight of the film is not in the performance of the actors, and we don''t need to invite high-paying actors with outstanding acting skills."


    Having been with Ryan for so many years, Natalie certainly understands what the selling point of this kind of film is, "As long as their acting skills can pass the test."


    "Then..." Ryan asked, squeezing his chin, "What about the heroine? I have auditioned twice, is there anyone I like."


    "Have¡­¡­"


    Hearing Natalie''s hesitant voice, Ryan made a please gesture.


    "Jaina Proudmoore''s candidate, Julis and I both agree with Gail."


    Speaking of this, Natalie sighed helplessly, "Sylvanas Windrunner, Alison wants to..."


    "She?" Ryan frowned. "Is she serious?"


    "Of course!" Natalie gave him a pair of white eyes. "Although Alison''s acting skills are very ordinary, but the three Windrunner sisters in the role set are vases, and Sylvanas doesn''t have many scenes. I think she It should be manageable."


    "If you and Julis approve," Ryan has nothing to do with Taylor. Besides, this is not a role that requires acting. "I have no objection."


    "I think Alison will be happy." Natalie sighed suddenly, "Although she never said, I can tell that she has always wanted to cooperate with you."


    "Is Gail''s schedule suitable?" Ryan asked the heroine again.


    "The Avengers" was a great success, and Warner Bros. and comics are naturally not far behind. "Green Lantern" and the new "Superman" series are in production. "Justice League" has also been put on the agenda, as the most recent entry into the new century. For successful movie roles, Wonder Woman will have a series of guest appearances next to connect the entire Justice League together.


    "Gail has coordinated with Warner Bros." Natalie was obviously prepared, "Schedule is not a problem."


    After experiencing the vicious competition between News Corporation and Walt Disney, the five major media groups resumed the competitive and cooperative situation, but the separated News Corporation and Fox Group both withdrew from the top five ranks. Skat has become the newest bottom of the top five.


    The Rolls-Royce motorhome drove directly to North Hollywood and quickly stopped in front of Natalie''s house.


    "I got out of the car."


    Natalie kissed Ryan on the cheek, "I am going to Australia tomorrow. If there is a problem here, Ryan, you can contact Julis."


    "Honey." Ryan reached out and opened the car door for her. "Why do I feel like you are the boss?"


    "Because I''m the director!" Natalie got out of the car and turned back and waved. "So you have to listen to me."


    Saying goodbye to Natalie, Ryan did not stop in North Hollywood, and ordered the driver to go back to the Disney building in Burbank and picked up Sandy with Taylor from the Disney Animation Studio.


    "Dad, daddy..."


    After getting in the car, Sandy leaned close to Ryan and said non-stop, "I watched a movie with my sister. That princess is so beautiful."


    "Elsa." Taylor explained.


    "Well, that''s her!" Sandy nodded hurriedly, "The castle she built, and her dress is so beautiful, I want it too."


    Seeing her daughter''s so much-loved look, Ryan seemed to have seen Tyler''s childhood.


    Taylor pointed to a few handbags beside her, "These are limited edition products of "Frost Adventure", which I specially made for Sonny."


    "Seeing Sunny..." Tyler hugged Sandy and kissed her on the forehead. "I think of me before."


    "Before?" Sandy asked with big blue eyes curiously, "What did my sister look like when she was a child."


    "Just as naughty as you."


    Reaching out and rubbing her daughter''s blonde hair, Ryan asked Taylor, "The movie is about to be released, remember to adjust the schedule."


    "Black-hearted capitalist." Taylor deliberately muttered, "not even his sister will let him go." (To be continued...)

 Chapter 856： The killer of Disney Animation

    Taylor did not release a record this year. Her focus is on "Ice Adventure". With Thanksgiving approaching, the film is about to start its release trip, and Disney has also begun an intensive bombardment of large-scale publicity.


    In addition to regular publicity methods such as the Internet, TV, radio, posters, newspapers and magazines, Ryan has also developed many special publicity plans for this film.


    Frankly speaking, no matter whether it was or is now, this animated feature film is not a particularly outstanding work. In terms of quality alone, it is not as good as the "Toy Story 3" released in the summer, but the quality of the film is never a decision. The only factor for movie box office and commercial success is not even the decisive factor.


    The key to the success of this animated feature film lies in marketing!


    The production cost of "Ice Adventure" is only 150 million US dollars, and the publicity cost is as high as 200 million US dollars!


    According to Ryan¡¯s request, Disney recruited well-known singers from nearly 30 major languages ??around the world, and recorded multilingual recordings with Taylor. The most important of them was the English version sung by Taylor himself, as well as from Japan. Matsutaka, customized the Japanese version for Japanese audiences!


    Yes, the biggest overseas ticket warehouse for this film is Japan!


    Japanese women and minors are very kind to the theme of "Princess Story", not to mention two new Disney princesses appearing this time!


    And Disney''s new princess is also the focus of Disney''s promotion!


    Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Simba the Lion King... whose childhood memories have not been marked by Disney? However, with the rise of new studios such as Pixar and Blue Sky, the story of the princess and prince began to be shelved, and the classic Disney cartoons gradually became memories.


    With Ryan taking over Disney, under his advocacy, Disney began to re-examine fairy tales. And on the premise of retaining the essence of Disney and making appropriate changes in line with the trend of the times, "Ice and Snow" is a product that combines the essence of Disney with the requirements of the new era.


    The film sacrifices two princesses in one go. This is the first time in the history of Disney, and the theme of the story has returned to the fairy tale "motif" such as family affection and self-recognition. The exquisite shapes and wonderful music will surely awaken many people''s childhood memories of Disney.


    "We all grew up watching Disney''s classic animations... Disney''s classic old animations are part of our DNA."


    During the promotion period, Disney also did a lot of research on the market, and many older people said nostalgic words like this.


    Nostalgia-Of course, Disney will make use of this ideological trend that is emerging nowadays.


    Subversion is another aspect!


    Everyone knows that the old-fashioned Disney-style prince and princess-style fairy tale movies are no longer in the market, and the classics are often separated from the old ones. With classic animation DNA, there is also a very modern leather bag. . For this reason, Disney has made many subversions, trying to balance the temperament of the film, first of all, turning the witch into a princess.


    "We have achieved a perfect balance between the new elements and the classic story elements, which allows the film to play to the highest level."


    In an interview, Taylor said, "As for what the new element is, I promise to surprise everyone."


    If you ask what is the essential element for this film to be successful, it is naturally music.


    It can be said that Disney has made the release of "Frost Adventure" to the extreme, and has prepared several versions in North America. There is also a special karaoke version after the film is released for a period of time, so that the audience can sing together in the theater. In order to exert the greatest power of the brainwashing divine comedy!


    Among them, Disney focuses on the Japanese market. There are too many versions of the film released in Japan. There are 10 versions for different types of audiences to choose. Among them, there are 3 "sing together" versions similar to the karaoke mode. Give full play to the outstanding musical characteristics of this movie.


    Such an innovative distribution model will also become a booster for the miracle of the film.


    Although Pixar Studios has unlimited creativity, and the potential of younger generations such as Blue Sky Studio and DreamWorks Animation Studios, music is always the killer of Disney animation.


    but. In its publicity, Disney did not emphasize the musical attributes of the film. Multiple versions recorded by Taylor and others have not been released yet.


    The reason is simple. Many male audiences see them as musicals. They would think¡ªthat¡¯s not my food, I don¡¯t want to watch it¡ªso Disney emphasized other things, letting people go into the theater and then judge, and if they feel cheated, they can make complaints at will.


    It is undeniable that Disney¡¯s princess stories have always been a special show for female audiences, and it can even be said to be a special show for girls. Girls will go to boys'' movies, but most boys rarely watch girls'' movies.


    In order to "cheat" audiences who don''t like musicals, the film party emphasized other things during the promotion and avoided this topic.


    Disney has targeted potential male audiences from the early stage of its publicity. The first few trailers of the film are focused on the little snowman "Snow Treasure" and the big snowman "Snow Monster", and there is no dialogue or music.


    The design of''Xuebao'', which separates the family at every turn, is actually aimed at the soft violence that boys join. It is full of''boy humor''. The full-length trailer also features adventure action images, with a special emphasis on male characters.


    In addition, the title of the film was changed from the original "Ice Queen" to "Ice and Snow Adventure", just to increase the coolness that boys need.


    In short, Disney''s strategy is to let potential male audiences enter the theater first.


    Although the main audience of this film is women, most male audiences can watch it, and even find it very interesting. When the two princesses at the end offer ¡®the kiss of true love¡¯, these guys will definitely be so excited!


    In the posters that have been exposed one after another, whether it is the media or the general audience, Princess Ann and the mountain man Christopher are the protagonists. What kind of wonderful expressions will there be after the double heroine.


    Of course, these are the external manifestations of the film. Whether it is a popcorn film, a literary film, or an animated feature film, it needs a theme that goes through the beginning and the end.


    Is there a more suitable theme to kill the world than the "freedom" reflected in "Frost Adventure"?


    On the weekend before Thanksgiving, the crew of "Ice Adventure", which was scattered around the world, was officially assembled in New York, and the film will also be released worldwide from New York.


    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s God¡¯s favor. The cold air from the North Pole to the south swept across North America¡¯s east coast in the early hours of Thursday. Up white.


    Just when Ryan was worried about the premiere in the afternoon, the snow gradually diminished and soon stopped completely. Although the weather became a bit cold because of this, the white snow scene complemented the upcoming film.


    "It''s so cold outside."


    As soon as he walked into the theater, Tyler rubbed his hands hurriedly, "Damn weather."


    "sister¡­¡­"


    Sandy who was following Nicole suddenly ran over, "Here you... this."


    What she handed Tyler was a hand warmer.


    "Sanny is still the most considerate." Tyler gave Scarlett a slanted look. "It''s not like some people."


    "This is a public place." Scarlett Johansson reminded her, "Pay attention to your manners. Mr. Scott and Mrs. Andrea are here."


    "Honey." Tyler returned the hand warmer to Sandy. "Where is your father?"


    "The bad guy I told you about went to the lounge." Sandy seemed to be very sensible, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Mummy said, Dad is blackmailing that bad guy."


    "Bad guy?" Scarlett didn''t quite understand, "Sandy, who is the bad guy?"


    "The one from News Corp."


    Tyler winked at Scarlett, just in time to see Ryan re-enter the hall and quickly pulled Sandy and Scarlett over.


    "father¡­¡­"


    Hearing the crisp voice, Ryan quickly walked a few steps, "Honey, you are very cute today."


    "Thank you Dad."


    The little guy in the princess''s bun and the tutu laughed immediately.


    After meeting Nicole, several people walked towards the screening hall. Taylor asked in a low voice as he walked, "What is Rupert Murdoch looking for?"


    "It''s nothing." Ryan said without paying much attention. "It''s just to express kindness and want to eliminate the ¡®misunderstanding¡¯ between Disney and him."


    "Misunderstanding?" Taylor wrinkled his nose. "Is this a''misunderstanding''?"


    "I heard people say..."


    After finding a seat and sitting down, Scarlett said mysteriously to several people, "Several children of Murdoch went to his mansion last week and made a lot of noise. Among them were his two ex-wives, Wendi Deng. Appeared there too."


    She seemed to realize it suddenly, "Ryan, shouldn''t it..."


    "Scarlett!" Ryan raised her finger and shook her, "This is someone else''s housework and has nothing to do with us."


    "oh, I understand now."


    This hindsight guy said clearly, "It has nothing to do with us!"


    "Dear Nicole took a pair of specially-made 3D eyes and helped Sandy put them on, and at the same time he asked, "If you feel uncomfortable with your eyes, you must tell Mommy. "


    "Ok."


    In front of Nicole, the little guy is quite obedient.


    Like the summer version of "Toy Story 3", "Ice and Snow" has also been released in 3D and imax versions, and the 3D effect of this film is also one of the selling points. In the eyes of people like Ryan and Taylor who have seen the sample, " "Ice Adventure" can be regarded as the best 3d animation ever.


    If "Avatar" is not a cartoon.


    After a few small routine activities, I didn''t wait too long. This animated feature film with feminist ideas and Lily spirit kicked off the curtain. (To be continued) r655

 Chapter 857： Sister loves me again

    The cold wind at midnight was bitingly cold. Chris walked into the theater with his air-conditioning. Because of the tickets bought in advance, he walked directly into the corresponding theater, found a better seat, and waited quietly for the film. s inception. [


    Although it is late, there is at least nearly half of the attendance in the hall.


    "I don''t know how this adventure cartoon is. As long as "Toy Story 3" is half good, it''s worth the price."


    Looking around, Chris thought so.


    On his right are two typical New York girls, who seem to have not broken away from the category of girls, and they are muttering at this time.


    "I heard that there are two princesses in the film..."


    "That dress called Elsa is so beautiful..."


    "Prince and princess¡­¡­"


    Hearing this, Chris suddenly had a bad feeling. The Disney story of the prince and princess is really too old-fashioned. As an animated film lover, he has watched many Disney movies released in recent years, but The outstanding ones are mostly the works of other studios, even if the best "Tangled" by Disney Animation Studios after the new century has made a breakthrough to a certain extent, it has not completely departed from the old-fashioned category.


    Thinking of "Tangled", Chris has another bad feeling. Isn''t this a typical Disney musical? He went into the theater to watch the midnight scene only for the large number of adventure clips in the trailer. If it was a musical, it would be a tragedy.


    This feeling was quickly verified. The beginning of the film was a joint singing of songs. The strong flavor of Disney musicals can be smelled even with toes.


    "..."


    Chris was speechless, and even had the urge to leave, but he endured it.


    After all, the media has been propagating that under the leadership of Ryan, Disney Animation has been carrying out drastic reforms. Maybe this will not be an old Disney fairy tale movie.


    "Wow, cool!"


    Hearing the admiration of the two girls on the right, Chris quickly focused his energy on the big screen. The two princesses in the film are using magic to make ice and snow play, let alone other, the special effects here are really amazing, the 3D effect is very good Excellent, even in the eyes of a senior movie fan like him, it is second only to "Avatar".


    Anyway, since it''s here. Then stay calm and watch for a while, I hope you won''t fall asleep.


    With this thought in his arms, Chris temporarily plunged into the movie and gradually became immersed in the plot.


    The content of the film and the trailer is not the same, and it is not the traditional film pattern of one male and one female two protagonists at all.


    In his opinion, Elsa''s role is very heavy, making the whole film a pattern of double heroines. The stories of the two sisters are intertwined with each other to form conflicts and constantly promote the development of the whole story. And the male characters have completely become the background and the green leaves...


    Among them, Anna''s line is the most common routine. The sister relationship was unbalanced because of Elsa''s accidental injury, which caused her to grow up in a closed castle, hoping to welcome her own prince one day. After her parents had an accident, her sister Elsa inherited the throne, and the closed door was finally opened. She met the prince who was''love at first sight''.


    Elsa as one of the double heroines. Because she accidentally injured her sister with magic when she was a child, she had to be closed in the room, and the closed door not only blocked her person. Also gradually closed her heart.


    "The door obviously has a special meaning in the movie."


    As a senior movie fan, Chris can still capture the meaning of such simple lens language.


    In addition, the gloves are also particularly representative. Elsa put on the gloves and closed herself, and after throwing away the gloves, she liberated herself.


    With the gloves dancing, there is that song!


    This is definitely the best clip since the beginning of the film!


    "..."


    Simple soundtrack, easy-to-understand lyrics, catchy melody...


    Just as Chris was immersed in the song, the two girls on his right had already sang with the voice of Taylor Swift in the movie. The only strange thing was that he, who always likes to watch quietly, actually There is no disgust.


    Then, more and more chorus sounds rang around, and he even hummed a paragraph unconsciously.


    This is the power of the brainwashing divine comedy!


    A song may not be able to sing a movie, but it can play the role of icing on the cake and even sending charcoal in the snow.


    Looking at the dreamy ice castle and listening to this song that is destined to be popular all over the world, Chris suddenly felt that just this paragraph is fully worth the movie ticket price!


    This song is definitely the finishing touch to the whole film, and it is also the key point of the character turning point, from the confusion at the beginning, to the gradual affirmation of one''s own self-exploration, and finally to completely let go of the shackles to pursue his own life, which perfectly tells Al. The journey of Sha Hua''s pupa into a butterfly.


    Elsa is no longer the one who forbeared and suppressed herself before, in order to be a perfect girl who meets the requirements of the world. She has released her powerful and beautiful, and the magic of ice and snow displayed is breathtaking. "The picture is extremely beautiful and gorgeous, and the music is incomparably beautiful. The heavenly clothes seamlessly contrast and combine with each other, to the point of showing off their skills!


    A girl''s voice sounded next to him, "There is also Elsa''s dress, I really want to have one too."


    "This paragraph alone is definitely worth the fare." Another girl said.


    Elsa took off the gloves to liberate herself, and the meaning of the gloves was fully revealed in another scene.


    When Anna was frozen by Elsa''s heart, she hurriedly returned to the castle to seek the kiss of true love. The gloves showed its meaning again. Prince Hans, who wore gloves, took off the gloves and became the villain!


    Originally, seeing Princess Ann go back to seek a kiss of true love, Chris felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly. This is the 21st century. Why does Disney still play this old story? This is the so-called subversive innovation in the propaganda?


    This is simply destroying the beauty that "" brings to the film!


    Don''t talk about him, even the two girls who are obsessed with singing and dancing next to them have clearly expressed their dissatisfaction.


    However, it has been almost 80 years since "Snow White", Disney finally got out of the shackles of the prince, removed the disguised Disney prince, and revealed his true evil face for the first time in 80 years!


    Who will save Princess Anna? Is it the mountain man Christopher?


    Thinking of this, Chris was a little dissatisfied again. If this is innovation, it would be too cheap. The story of the princess falling in love with the poor boy has been performed countless times by Disney.


    Princess Ann walked towards Christopher against the sky of wind and snow; Christopher, who had gone and returned, was also running wildly with the deer, hoping to save Princess Ann''s fate.


    Everything seems to be developing in the expected direction...


    If this is the case, this film can only be considered good.


    Chris quietly made a conclusion to the film in his heart. The aging Disney animation studio looks really old. Even with Ryan''s creative thinking, it seems that they cannot break the prison of their thoughts.


    "Anna..."


    "Christopher¡­¡­"


    The two got closer and closer. Everything is moving in the direction Chris expected, and true love between men and women is about to save the world.


    However, Anna, who was about to be frozen, saw Prince Hans who was chasing Elsa. She gave up the chance to live and ran to her sister...


    "What?"


    Chris was taken aback for a moment, and the plot exceeded his expectations.


    The younger sister rescued her sister and then turned into an ice sculpture. It seemed not bad. It was always newer than the old-fashioned men and women who love to save.


    It''s just... Doesn''t this become a tragedy. Tragic animated film...


    Just as Chris was thinking about this, Anna rushed to Elsa before she was about to be frozen, and blocked the deadly sword with her frozen body. The power of the magic burst also stunned Prince Hans on the ice.


    Then everyone in the theater opened their eyes wide, even when they ran from Anna to Elsa. Some people have guesses, but when all this happens, they can''t help but...surprised!


    Elsa holds the frozen Anna. Melting the ice with true love, Anna returns!


    "True love can save a frozen heart!"


    Chris said this unconsciously with Xue Bao.


    "I.!"


    The two sisters express the ¡®true love¡¯ between them without reservation!


    True love saved Anna! Also saved the world!


    It turned out to be like this!


    Many people in the theater have this idea. This is indeed unexpected. It turns out that it is no longer the true love between the prince and the princess that saves the world, but the love of family, the love of sisters...


    Lei Sibian save the world?


    Don''t know why, Chris jumped out of this idea.


    "Cool!"


    "awesome!"


    "Women save themselves!"


    "Women don''t need men!"


    "Women can also save the world!"


    Many female audiences'' voices sounded in the theater, and there were even a few pairs of lace borders kissing crazy...


    Family affection melted the ice, true love saved the world, the kingdom returned to normal, and Elsa no longer concealed herself.


    From then on, my sister and sister lived happily together.


    The overall plot of the film is not particularly good, but a song and the final ending are like the ¡®sisters¡¯ true love¡¯ that saves the world in the film, saving this work!


    Chris can completely imagine that this film is definitely a female killer, and many boys will also enter the theater. Just the last "true love" is enough to attract them.


    Worthy of being Disney, worthy of being a film led by Ryan...


    Stepping out of the theater and stepping on the falling snow, Chris is still feeling that the film looks like an old Disney song and dance cartoon, but it does have subversive changes, especially Princess Elsa, which is particularly dazzling.


    Prince Hans and Christopher the mountain man in the film seem to have a lot of roles, but they are actually just a background to the love of sisters Elsa and Anna.


    Perhaps this film should be renamed.


    Sitting in the taxi called, Chris is still thinking about this film. Maybe it¡¯s more appropriate to change the title to "Sister Love Me Again"? (To be continued...)

 Chapter 858： Disney princess doesnt need a man to save

    "!..."


    This song is like having wings. After the premiere of "Ice and Snow", it quickly spread to the United States, and it uses Hollywood as the center of radiation. With simple lyrics and catchy melody, it transcends ethnic and cultural differences. , Instantly swept the world, and brought a wave of singing and dancing around the world.


    A well-sung good song may not be able to save a bad movie, but for the "Frost Adventure", which has a sufficient guarantee of film quality, "" is definitely the finishing touch, and it is bound to add Disney''s song and dance animation film Push to a peak that has never been reached.


    The song can be heard everywhere in radio stations, networks, TV stations and record shops.


    Seven or eight-year-old children, teenage boys and girls, young people in their twenties, and even mature people in their thirties, all hum and sing in their spare time! ...


    This song has swept the world almost at the fastest speed. With the help of today''s developed Internet media, it has even done what Michael Jackson couldn''t do.


    Under Ryan¡¯s suggestion, Disney was naturally prepared. The "Ice Adventure" in nearly 30 languages ??and the "Karaoke" version of "Ice and Snow" appeared in front of global audiences after the film was released for a period of time.


    Just like the excellent graphics and the brainwashing divine comedy, all-round marketing is also the key to the success of "Ice Adventure".


    Walt Disney has invested so many resources in this film, and the performance of the film did not disappoint Ryan and Disney, especially the song and dance frenzy that has set off, which has allowed Disney''s professionals to smell beyond "Toy Story 3". taste.


    "Ice Adventure" does not have the explosive power of "Toy Story 3" as a sequel movie, but the box office trend is unusually stable.


    On the first Wednesday in North America, "Ice and Snow Adventure" took away $93.93 million; in the second weekend, the film maintained a steady and healthy decline and won the second North American box office champion with $67.39 million.


    Count the box office of the previous four working days. In just ten days, the North American box office exceeded $200 million!


    At the same time, with the help of Disney¡¯s huge marketing campaign and the power of the brainwashing divine comedy, the film has achieved good results overseas. The 10-day overseas box office has steadily exceeded the 200 million US dollar mark, and the global box office has added up to as high as US$415.24 million!


    You know, this is not a superhero movie, but an animated feature film with a relatively long period of time in theaters!


    After years of silence, Disney Animation Studios finally ushered in a moment of explosion.


    "Since the rise of Pique Studios, Disney Animation Studios has been in a dilemma. They are trying to find what is the most unique thing about themselves and what they represent until Ryan enters Disney."


    "He knows better than anyone that he will not move forward without innovation. The new fairy tale reforms he set off at Disney finally brought new hope to the sullen Disney animation studio, and also made this once the best animation studio glow. It is full of vitality."


    Perhaps the words in "Time" are a bit exaggerated, but after Ryan took over Disney, it did promote the re-interpretation of classic fairy tales by Disney and even Hollywood as a whole.


    And in order to promote "Ice Adventure". Not only is Taylor¡¯s world-wide running announcement as the singer of "" and the voice of Elsa, even Ryan, who is preparing for a new movie, also took time to accept an interview with Antonia Kidman to further build momentum for the film. .


    "Although it is the same as all Disney movies. Love is the way to solve all problems, but the angle is different. It is not based on the "true love kiss" plot of the protagonist and the heroine, but family affection."


    On Antonia Kidman''s talk show. Ryan talked a lot about this film.


    "In fact, things like fairy tale love are not rational, and you want to convincingly say in an hour and a half why the hero and the heroine love each other, and it is actually very difficult to love so deeply. Especially cartoons. So. They seldom discuss the rationale behind love, such as why two people love each other, why they love so deeply, but just make two people fall in love directly, and there is no need to explain, so it will be very clich¨¦d."


    "The film started with sisterhood. From the closeness of the two to the estrangement to the open reunion, this kind of sisterhood runs through to the end, and we can see the deep love of the two for each other."


    "Elsa was tortured her emotionally in order to protect Anna. Anna never abandoned her sister from beginning to end, until she sacrificed herself later, everything seemed reasonable and reasonable, unlike the two in the usual fairy tales who did not love for long. The "irrationality" that people die for each other."


    "After all, the kind of love that loves one''s own family is more solidly rooted than the love of a stranger. This novel perspective also makes this seemingly princess and Disney movie break away from the tackiness of a princess and have a unique flavor. , Is also a kind of courage to innovate."


    When Ryan''s voice fell slightly, Antonia Kidman asked timely, "What do you think of the two princesses in the film?"


    These are all pre-set questions, Ryan answered without any difficulty.


    "I like Elsa''s setting very much. She is not an evil villain. After accidentally revealing magic, she fled to the wilderness, just to not hurt people. Her various experiences also made her the most sympathetic to the entire audience. Character, her magic can''t help freezing her heart, and it also freezes the sisterhood between sisters Elsa and Anna from childhood."


    "Speaking of Anna, in fact, Disney''s changes to the role are more reflected in her. We can recall the performance of princesses in Disney animation movies in the past, and we can find that they are completely different from Anna."


    "In the past, Disney princesses also had their own ideas and desires and hopes for freedom, but they always needed outside stimulation to act. The little mermaid has always longed for human life. Only when she fell in love with the prince and had a big fight with her father She has the determination to become a human being; Rapunzel has always wanted to see Kong Ming Deng, and only a thief who is familiar with the outside world can give her the courage to leave home."


    "They have their own goals, but they are not always working hard for their goals, and they have not paid too much. This is the shortcoming of these princesses. They have ideas and desires, but they lack substantial actions. Even Rapunzel needs outside guidance."


    "Anna is different from them. Her goal is very clear and she has been working hard. Her goal is not to find true love, but to repair the relationship with her sister. Anna has always been active and has been working hard for her goal. Sister. In the event of an accident, Anna plucked up the courage to go alone; her sister drove her away, she insisted on staying as a company; her sister was about to be killed, and she fought hard to save her."


    "From the perspective of script creation, Anna is a highly unified character. Her goal is very clear, and she has always paid the sweat and price for the goal, so the audience feels that she has a very emotional projection with her."


    "The movie is most taboo to have a passive protagonist, because if the protagonist doesn''t care about the goal, why should the audience care? This film also has the most outstanding Disney animation in recent years..."


    Ryan did not hesitate to tout for his own film, and this film also has the confidence to make him tout.


    "Film is an art that unites visual and auditory senses, which means that it is not the protagonist''s inner feelings that define them, but their actions. If it were not for the actions drawn from the climax of the film, we don''t know how much Anna is willing to pay for her ideals. She sacrificed her love and her life in order to achieve her goal. No one forced her, no one guided her. The final choice was made by her!"


    Finally, Ryan said, "Disney''s princesses don''t need a prince to save, they can save themselves."


    Antonia Kidman answered in a timely manner, "Anna gave up the hope of survival brought by Christopher and chose to rescue her sister and thus also saved herself. It is indeed a stroke of God."


    Anna and Elsa have become the absolute protagonists of this winter. Whether or not they are fans of Disney cartoons, they can always see the images of the two people and hear the brainwashing divine song.


    These two completely virtual images also have a lot of their own congestion. Even though the two are sisters who truly love each other in the film, fans in the real world are arguing for them.


    For example, as one of the film classics, Elsa¡¯s fans believe that Elsa¡¯s true love saved Anna, while Anna¡¯s fans believe that Anna saved herself...


    "Why is this movie great, because Anna saved herself. The''act of true love'' (choosing to save her sister and sacrificing herself) was done by Anna herself, not by outsiders, not passively relying on the kiss of true love from others, it was herself! I redeemed myself! So it¡¯s not unconventional! The princess doesn¡¯t need a prince to save! The princess doesn¡¯t need a man to save! The princess doesn¡¯t need someone else to save anyway! So Anna¡¯s resurrection has nothing to do with Elsa¡¯s tears~www.novelhall. com~ Although my sister¡¯s tears must also belong to the ¡°act of true love¡±, there are always causes and results, right? Why cry? Her Royal Highness is crying because she found that Anna decided to sacrifice herself, so it was Anna¡¯s own true love that saved herself first. The queen shed tears behind..."


    In short, a thousand people have a thousand Hamlet in their hearts. Such a dispute is not harmful to the promotion of the film. Many fans of Anna and Elsa, in order to find a reason to refute each other, bought tickets and went to the theater to watch the film repeatedly and contributed to the film. Out of a lot of box office figures.


    There is also the reaction of the **** community. They must be rejoicing when such a film appears.


    "Lai Sibian saves the world or something, it''s the best..."


    "My personal opinion is that my sister is straight, so it''s hard to tell my sister..." (to be continued...)

 Chapter 859： Crazy surroundings

    "The Disney animated film "Ice and Snow" has hit the box office since its opening in Japan. It won the championship for 13 consecutive weeks and won the box office of 239 million US dollars. It beat "Spirited Away" and became the box office champion of Japanese film history!"


    After the beginning of the new year, "Ice and Snow Adventure" has been reported frequently. Not only has it made great strides in the North American film market, easily breaking through the $400 million mark, it has also achieved jaw-dropping results in Japan, another major animation country. "Spirited Away" and "Titanic" have placed themselves in the number one position in Japan. $..


    At the subsequent Oscar awards ceremony, "Ice and Snow" won the best animated feature film and the best original song. Although the Oscars are limited to the box office of the movie, they can always play a leading role. The commercial performance of the film also experienced a short-term resurgence.


    By mid-March, "Ice Adventure" had been downgraded from markets around the world, including North America, and the final box office numbers could only be described as a "miracle" in the mouth of the media.


    In North America, the film made a total of 436.75 million U.S. dollars at the box office, which is the best North American box office record for Disney Animation Studios.


    Overseas, because of the super-hot relationship in Japan, the film''s overseas box office was particularly good, with a total of US$913.26 million.


    As a result, "Frost Adventure" has a global box office of $1.35 billion, and it has come to the fourth place in the box office of movie history. It has become the existence second only to "Avatar", "Titanic" and "Avengers"!


    The film not only allowed Walt Disney to successfully recover a total of 350 million U.S. dollars in investment, but also generated nearly 100 million U.S. dollars in profits. No matter what, this is an outstanding commercial success.


    "Ice and Snow Adventure" has an excellent box office, and the peripheral products that are the key to the profit of animated feature films, Disney gets more revenue.


    As the movie went down, the DVD was naturally put on the agenda by Disney, and the Blu-ray bd sold 3.5 million copies on the day it went on sale. Setting a record for the sales of animated films in history, in the following week, more than 7.7 million DVDs were sold, and this alone brought Disney more than $135.6 million in revenue.


    This is only a week, and the sales of DVDs will be a long-term process.


    The original soundtrack of "Ice Adventure", which has been on sale for a long time, performed particularly well. It won the album sales chart thirteen times. So far, the original soundtrack has sold 3.53 million copies, and the single sales of "" exceeded 7 million!


    As a phenomenon-level animated film, "Ice Adventure" is widely favored by audiences all over the world. Although the film has been downgraded, the influence is still huge, especially in the peripheral derivatives market. It continues to shine. From the match-3 mobile game of the same name to the skirt of the heroine, all have become popular products, plus various dolls. , Cosmetics, authorized advertising creativity, etc., people have to admire that Disney does have its own uniqueness in the operation of film industrialization.


    According to survey information released by an authoritative institution on Wall Street, in less than half a year, Anna and Elsa''s same dresses have sold more than 3 million in North America, the UK, and Australia alone!


    The average price of each "Elsa skirt" is around US$149. The "Elsa Skirt" alone has earned Disney an amazing income of about 450 million U.S. dollars!


    Yes, you read that right, it is 450 million US dollars, not Japanese yen!


    In addition. Disney also released 16 brand new "Ice Adventures" themed foods and health care products, including fresh fruits and grapes, juice, yogurt, household stretchers and even dental floss, which can be described as all-encompassing...


    Although some media have always used "unexpected success" to describe the box office performance of "Ice and Snow Adventure", it has to be said that this animated film still burst out Disney''s accumulated heritage at once. The legendary chain effect in North America and the world attests to its extraordinary quality.


    The film was released, and the surroundings are selling well. Ryan and Disney will still not be satisfied, and the subsequent publicity has not relaxed. The sales of peripheral products is a long-term process. If possible, they even want to scrape the ground in the world.


    Cases of obsessive "Frost Adventure" were pushed to the front desk by Ryan using Disney¡¯s huge Disney media to prove how good the film is and how popular the sales of peripheral products are. If you don¡¯t buy it, it¡¯s simply Is a symbol of obsolescence.


    After all, most people have a herd mentality.


    Of course, what Ryan brought out were all real cases, and he was not afraid of other people''s investigation.


    As a big animation country, the performance of many Japanese is especially worthy of a big book.


    A Japanese couple who had been married for six years, because the man did not like the movie "Ice and Snow", the woman said in anger that-people who didn''t understand the beauty of this movie would be unqualified as human beings-they asked for a divorce on the spot.


    The chain effect of "Frost Adventure" is not only happening in Japan, but there are also many true stories about this movie being staged across the United States.


    In the United States, a father named Calder took his 7-year-old daughter to the theater after the release of "Ice Adventure". Calder said that his daughter became extremely obsessed with the movie. After that, she went to the theater several times with her grandfather, grandmother and others to watch the movie. What made Calder incredible is that his daughter begged him to buy it. "Ice and Snow Adventure" theme pajamas and crown, and are still queuing to buy the official limited edition dress of Queen Elsa.


    Calder ridiculed himself and said that it was about to become a "house of ice and snow." The original soundtrack of the movie "" was played in his car all day long, but his daughter continued to enjoy it.


    The reason why she likes this movie is because she likes Elsa¡¯s magic and Anna¡¯s character.


    After the film was released, Calder also held a "Ice Adventure" themed birthday party for his daughter, which was held by hiring a few live actors in Icy Adventure costumes for $350.


    According to the father, the actors had already appeared in six such themed parties that day.


    In addition, Disney took advantage of the opportunity to launch the Norwegian snow and ice trip, which also attracted the Calder family, but because of the high cost of $15,000, Calder temporarily shelved this plan.


    Families like Calder who are enthusiastic about "Ice Adventure" are very common in the United States. The impact of this animated film on children is not only in the animation image. There seems to be psychology.


    An American scholar wrote an article specifically for this: "Ice and Snow" is different from the previous love between the princess and the prince, but about the failure of the love between the prince and the princess, the growth of two girls with anti-traditional personality, and finally reflects the true love Anna''s persistent pursuit, Anna''s bravery and loyalty affect many children, of course, this also affects their parents.


    Among all the peripheral products, the most popular one is definitely Queen Elsa''s skirt. In addition to the regular version of 149 US dollars, Disney also specially produced an official limited edition worth 1600 US dollars. The Disneyland is located in California and Florida. . There is a long queue outside the newly renovated "Ice and Snow Adventure" pavilion.


    Amazon pointed out in a report in mid-April that the number of Princess Elsa dolls sold can be stacked up to the top of Disneyland''s Cinderella Castle 855 times; and the National Retail Federation survey shows that the "Ice and Snow" character dolls are listed as toys. The top spot on the ranking list has become the most popular birthday gift for American little girls this year.


    "Ice Adventure" food has also become popular. The owner of a cake shop in Manhattan, New York, USA revealed in an interview with Disney media that they have been in business for 7 years and there has never been a cake style as popular as "Ice Adventure." "


    The first quarter of 2011 passed quickly. Because of the relationship between the box office of "Ice Adventure" and the surrounding super sales, Disney achieved 21.6 billion U.S. dollars in revenue and 3.6 billion U.S. dollars in net profit in this quarter. Among them, the income related to "Frost Adventure" contributed nearly a quarter!


    It is no exaggeration to say that if a single round is profitable, "Ice Adventure" is even as good as "Avatar"!


    When a movie really triggers a topical effect, marketing methods are just icing on the cake. Because the fan community will spontaneously create massive content, do free publicity and promotion for the movie itself, and greatly increase its topic and box office popularity.


    A sequel to a movie like this money-making machine has long been put on the agenda by Disney. Broadway operas, books, and TV series are also under development.


    Disney has also included Anna and Elsa in various upcoming films as guest appearances, and has successively launched the Anna and Elsa trailers of many films such as "Snow White and the Hunter" and "Iron Man 3" to attract female fans. Eyeballs.


    Especially in "Snow White and the Hunter" which opened in April. With the help of the "new fairy tale interpretation" craze triggered by "Ice and Snow", this film with almost no features won the North American box office of more than 89 million U.S. dollars in the first week, and the North American box office reached nearly 200 million U.S. dollars in ten days. Almost recovered the investment in the film.


    Among them, I have to say that the trailer for Anna and Elsa played a lot of role.


    In addition, the popularity of "Ice Adventure" has another major impact on the English-speaking area and the entire Western world. Among the newly-born girls, the number of girls named Anna, especially Elsa, has risen sharply, and in a short period of time It''s even comparable to names like Jessica or Catherine.


    "Frost Adventure" is like the previous "Avatar" and "Titanic", has become a cultural phenomenon.


    The waves caused by this movie will not disappear easily, and will even affect the lives of many people, but these are not within Ryan¡¯s consideration. When April came, he rushed to Australia, after a long period of time After the preparations, the new work he and Natalie collaborated with has already begun official shooting! (To be continued...)


    ps: (No charge!) Note: In reality, the production cost of this film is US$150 million, and the announcement is 300 million. The total cost is definitely more than 450 million. It is said that the box office has just recovered the cost. As for the surroundings, it is not bad to send a copy. More reliable data.


    As of January 2015, the real income of peripheral movies ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Blu-ray global sales of 39 million sets, 790 million US dollars


    bluy version 3 million sets 150 million US dollars


    8.95 million original soundtrack DVDs, 350 million US dollars


    6 million digital singles + digital albums, 110 million US dollars


    6.5 million sets of Frozen princess dresses, 975 million US dollars


    Frozen princess play 3.2 million sets, 298 million US dollars


    Frozen Snow Treasure 359,000, 19 million US dollars


    Cumulative sales are almost 2.7 billion U.S. dollars. Other surrounding areas are not very good for statistics. For theme parks, it is estimated that only Disney has clear statistics.

 Chapter 860： Power of Light

    "Cut! This one is over..."


    Natalie¡¯s voice came from behind the monitor. Ryan stopped and threw the power of Menethil in his hand to the prop master who came over. Wearing a metallic armor and wearing a golden wig, Ryan stopped. I passed the huge imax3d camera and walked to Natalie''s side.


    Looking at the replayed footage, Ryan lifted his chin, "My fighting moves are still very standard, and the special training in the past few months is still effective."


    Those brown eyes turned here, and returned to the monitor. Natalie, who was in the state of director, didn''t bother to pay attention to Ryan, but watched the footage that was just filmed carefully.


    This is a battle between Prince Arthas and the Orc Swordmaster in order to rescue his people. The green-skinned orc used motion capture to shoot. Under the pre-built model, the Ryan did not remember his name at all. The actor of, the interpretation is not bad, even if it can''t compare with the expert Andy Serkins in this field, it is enough to deal with such a scene.


    Since there was no editing and other post-processing, this fight seemed very false, but after watching it patiently a few times, Natalie finally nodded in satisfaction.


    "well done¡­¡­"


    After she entered the working state, she was very like the best director of the Oscar, "Keep it in the current state."


    "no problem."


    Regardless, Ryan will maintain the authority of the director on the set, "My Director Madam."


    Natalie nodded to this side, and then called in an assistant, "Notify the crew, change the scene."


    Wearing that awkward latex armor, Ryan walked out of the studio, put on makeup again, and turned to a smaller studio next to him. The crew was under the command of Natalie. In front of the blue screen, lights, cameras and other equipment were placed in an orderly manner.


    Like other magical epic masterpieces, this film will use a large number of synthetic shots, and shooting in front of the blue screen is also normal.


    "Ryan!"


    The crew stopped working for a while, Ryan heard Natalie''s shout, he shrugged at Gal Gado, who came in afterwards, and walked over.


    "This is a very critical scene."


    Sitting behind the monitor, Natalie held a coffee cup and said, "As the heir of the entire kingdom and the hope of all the people, Arthas has always wanted to have the power to protect the kingdom and the people. He himself craves for this power. When he discovered that he possessed the power and the power of the holy light could not fully protect his people and country, his psychology naturally changed. This is also the beginning of the righteous prince gradually moving towards the abyss because of his thirst for power... "


    After speaking, Natalie stood up again, pulled Ryan to the blue screen in front of the camera, and instructed each one to take precautions.


    Although this script was written by hand. Ryan didn''t mean anything. The script is not the same as the movie. The filming is a process led by the director. It has been a few weeks since he came to Australia. He also learned a lot of Natalie''s ideas, which are beneficial and harmless to the film.


    "Scene 47, Act 21..."


    When everything was ready, the assistant director''s voice sounded. "Start now!"


    This is the beginning of Alsace Menethil''s psychological transformation!


    After paying the tragic price of casualties, Arthas''s army finally defeated the violent green-skinned orcs, and he himself beheaded the orc sword master himself. But this issue was too late. When he found the kingdom''s people kidnapped by the orcs, they were dying.


    These people who love him and support him, he once vowed to protect, are obviously under some kind of evil curse. They are lying flat on the dirty ground polluted by the orcs, their faces are twisted in pain, and black blood clots are flowing from their mouths and noses. ...


    Arthas, played by Ryan, threw away the warhammer in his hand, strode over, knelt on one knee in front of a person, and gently covered his gray-black face with his palm.


    "May the Holy Light be with you..."


    He murmured, as if he was mobilizing some mysterious power, "Endless holy light, please give me strength to dispel the darkness and evil that the earth contaminates!"


    However, the invincible power of the Holy Light did not play any role, and under Alsace''s gaze, the person he swore to protect took his last breath.


    In the loud sound of "bang", Alsace''s fist was hammered heavily on the ground, and the young prince''s face was full of anxiety, and he did not give up. He quickly stood up and walked back and forth among the cursed crowd, almost Exhausted the power of his holy light, but could not save the life of any one of them, even a few of the young children.


    One person after another died in front of him. Although they couldn''t speak before they died, they all looked at Arthas with hope, as if they hoped that their beloved Prince could save their lives.


    This vision pierced Alsace''s heart like a knife. This young and upright prince has been smooth sailing since he was born. He has collected thousands of favorites and vowed to protect and support his people with his life. The people who vowed to protect them are now in front of his eyes, dying one by one in an extremely painful way, like a big hand, holding the fragile and sensitive heart of Arthas.


    His body was trembling slightly, and his handsome young face was filled with regret, pain and anger like a little lion who was provoked but unable to fight back!


    If he pursued faster, none of this might happen!


    If he can easily solve the enemy sniping on the road, all this may not happen!


    If his battle with the Orc Sword Saint hadn''t been delayed for such a long time, none of this might have happened!


    If his power of holy light can be as omnipotent as Uther said, all this may not happen!


    If he had more power than the Lightbringer and King of the Hill, none of this might happen!


    "Do not!"


    Regret, pain, and anger filled Alsace''s heart. He knelt on his knees and yelled, "No..."


    The young prince finally felt his own responsibility at this moment. It was a heavy responsibility that had never been felt before. It was like the Black Rock Mountain, weighing heavily on his shoulders.


    The prince, like a flower in a greenhouse, felt a deep sense of frustration. He never thought that there are still things in this world that he can''t do, and there are threats that the power of the Holy Light cannot solve, and he even believes in him. The holy light was shaken.


    Thinking of what the Orc Sword Saint said before his death, Arthas understood that this matter was not so simple, and that there was still a murderer who had not appeared behind him.


    "I don''t care who you are, how powerful and evil you have!"


    Grabbing a handful of soil soaked in blood, the young prince¡¯s upright eyes flashed with sternness, "I will find you and kill you, I swear! I call Arthas Menet Swear by Hill¡¯s honor!"


    Slowly walking past the dead folks, Arthas closed his eyelids for them one by one. The prince''s heart was filled with anger and the fire of vengeance. On the handsome face of the past sunshine, there was a trace of imperceptible evilness!


    Also, maybe he didn''t even realize that he had been thirsty for power since he was a child, and now he has the pursuit of more powerful power.


    These are just seeds. If there is no suitable soil, Arthas will still be the prince deeply beloved by the Kingdom of Lordaeron.


    "Cut!"


    Natalie''s voice suddenly sounded. She left the director''s chair and walked directly to Ryan. She walked among the humanoid props that were wrapped in blue screens as materials for the corpse. After stomping back and forth a few steps, she said. "Ryan, you should be more angry now. Your performance just now was too harsh, pay attention! Pay attention to the critical line of anger."


    The makeup artist next to Ryan was applying makeup, and Ryan took the time to say, "I understand."


    "That''s good." Natalie nodded and walked in the direction where she came. "Let''s do it again."


    Although it is somewhat difficult compared to Captain America, a character like Alsace Menethil can¡¯t help Ryan at all. What he needs the most balance is Arthas¡¯s mental journey that continues to slide into the abyss, which is a constant change. As well as the process that requires time and external factors to stimulate, if it is too hasty, it will only become a turning point.


    That was not the result he wanted.


    Again, this is not the result Natalie wanted.


    This is the first time that Natalie has directed a super giant with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. It is impossible without pressure. She strives for perfection in every shot. Even if Ryan performed well for the second time in this scene, she still compelled. The crew was asked to shoot a few more times in order to collect more material for post-production editing.


    At the end of the day of shooting, Ryan was finally able to change out of that awkward armor.


    "are you tired?"


    As soon as he finished removing his makeup, Natalie knocked on the door and walked into the dressing room, and put a cup of coffee in her hand on the table in front of him, "You have a lot of shots these days, it will be fine in a few days."


    "Who let me join the crew at the latest?" Ryan laughed at himself, picked up the coffee cup, and took a sip. "Nate, are you sure this didn''t revenge me on purpose?"


    "I''m not as boring as you."


    Natalie put her arms around her chest and sat on the chair next to her, "In order to save the budget, I can only arrange the scenes you left behind more compactly."


    "Okay, dear."


    Ryan stood up first, then pulled Natalie out of the chair, and walked her out, "After a day of tiredness, we should go back to rest."


    The studio rented by the crew is located in the Warner Movie World on the Gold Coast of Australia. Ryan and others'' residences were not arranged in Brisbane this time, but a whole tourist hotel was rented nearby.


    First, they took the battery car to the parking area of ??the studio. After changing to the RV, the two of them ignored the reporter who was stuck at the entrance of the studio and returned directly to the hotel.


    The crew is the only guest in the hotel. After entering the hotel, he can no longer feel the hustle and bustle outside. Ryan just wanted to drag Natalie to the elevator. From the rest place on the other side, suddenly a familiar crisp child came. sound.


    "Dad..." (To be continued...)


    ...


    ...()

 Chapter 861： Tragic opening

    Seeing his daughter who was running quickly, Ryan quickly turned around and hugged her up with an open hand. The little guy embraced his neck affectionately and kissed him **** the face.


    "Dad, I miss you."


    After kissing her daughter back, Ryan said with a smile, "I miss you too, dear."


    There was a crisp sound of high heels falling on the marble floor. Ryan looked over Sandy, and saw the tall and thin Taylor walked over without hesitation. She walked to the side and hugged Natalie. After a while, he waved hello to Ryan.


    "Sanny is anxious to see you, so I have to wait with her downstairs." Taylor said.


    As soon as Ryan nodded, Sandy jumped off of him. Without a word, he pulled him and walked to the elevator, "Dad, Mommy is waiting for you in the room."


    "My dear..." Ryan pulled her gently, and his eyes moved from Sandy to Natalie. "What about your manners?"


    "Hello there!"


    Where Ryan couldn''t see, Sandinu snorted, turned to Natalie and said, "Auntie, hello."


    "Hello, Sandy."


    Natalie nodded to the little guy, walked a few steps closer, and whispered to Ryan, "I have to prepare a draft of tomorrow''s shots, and I will go back to the room first.


    After the elevator came down, Natalie did not get on the elevator, but waited on the other side. Ryan had no good way to deal with this situation. After all, Natalie was not Charlize, and it was impossible to completely suppress the prejudice against Sandy. Besides, he could see that it was probably Nicole''s influence, and the little guy didn''t like Natalie either.


    Although somewhat helpless, Ryan understands that this is normal. There is no character who kills the whole world. Sandy is very beautiful and cute, and very likable, but in the eyes of Natalie. The identity of Nicole''s daughter will never be changed.


    "Mommy doesn''t like that aunt."


    When the elevator doors closed, Sandy was like a little adult, "I don''t like it at all."


    Ryan just rubbed her blonde hair without saying anything.


    But when the five-year-old was the most curious time, Sandy pulled at the corner of his clothes and asked, "Dad, why doesn''t Mommy like her?"


    "Sanny..." Ryan sighed lightly, "You will understand when you grow up."


    "Why do you have to grow up to understand?" The little guy is very eager to chase after.


    "Because you are still a little bit young now."


    Tyler on the other side concealed his smile, stubbornly obsessed with nonsense. "You won''t understand what Ryan said. If you want to understand, you must grow up to my height at least."


    Looking up at Taylor, who was much taller than himself, Sandy lowered his head and muttered, "That''s a long wait."


    Although the little guy was still muttering, Taylor''s words obviously diverted her attention, until she entered Nicole''s presidential suite, she didn''t ask about Natalie again.


    "Mommy. I found my father."


    As soon as he entered the suite, Sandy walked up to Nicole with a proud look, as if he wanted to be rewarded.


    Ryan walked straight over without waiting for Nicole to say anything. Kissed the corner of Nicole''s mouth, "When did you arrive?"


    "In the morning."


    Gently wiped her lower lip, Nicole pointed to the sofa next to her and waited for Sandy to sit on it obediently. She said slowly, "Sanny missed you, and I just want to go back to Australia for vacation. By the way, take a look at my investment."


    "Dad..." Sandy continued, "Can you accompany me to the farm on holiday during the weekend?"


    Facing his daughter''s request, Ryan would definitely not say''no'', he nodded, "Then this weekend will be fine."


    "Wow, that''s great!"


    Sandy jumped directly off the sofa, ran to Taylor who was sitting opposite, took her by the hand, and said, "Sister, are you with me too, okay?"


    "Of course!" Taylor squeezed her little nose with the other hand, "I haven''t been here for a long time on vacation."


    After saying a few words around Sandy, Tyler pulled her out of the suite with a wink, in order to leave enough private space for Ryan and Nicole.


    Although Nicole came to Australia, the filming will continue. With such a huge crew stationed on the Gold Coast, each additional day of stay is a huge expense.


    As the actor of Sylvanas Windrunner, Taylor has also formally entered the crew. Her role as the leader of the High Elf Ranger is not much, and the difficulty is not too great. It exists more as a vase, although with Arta There are some overlapping rival scenes, but they are not complicated.


    The film is more about the fall of Alsace. The relationship between the prince and Jaina Proudmoore and Sylvanas Windrunner is almost endless, whether it is Ryan or Nata. Li, will not let the love triangle of dog blood become the highlight of the film.


    As the most brilliant character of the three Windrunner sisters, Sylvanas also has a lot of fighting shots. In most cases, like Ryan, she will use stunt doubles. Only a few frontal close-ups will Taylor personally play.


    "Your ears are so long."


    Between shooting, Sandy always likes to get next to Ryan and Taylor. She is especially interested in Taylor''s long fake ears, "Sister, can I touch them?"


    "Hey, kid!"


    Taylor, who looked like an elf, quickly stopped, "If it breaks, your father will be angry."


    "really?"


    Hearing Tyler''s words, Sandy couldn''t help turning his head to look here, his blue eyes blinking, "Dad, will you be angry?"


    Shaking her head at her daughter, Ryan turned to look at Nicole behind. She was communicating with Julius Stewart. She probably noticed Ryan''s eyes and walked over quickly.


    As a mother, she knew that Sandy was curious and mischievous, and pulled her to her front and sat next to Ryan together.


    "I discussed it with Julis."


    Nicole put on an attitude of talking about work, "The film has to be overdue from pre-production to shooting to post-production. This means that we have to invest more..."


    She stared at Ryan, "I heard that the filming speed of the director is very slow?"


    "Nicole..." Ryan didn''t understand what was hiding behind business affairs, "Do you have to care about these?"


    Folding the nice eyebrows, Nicole rubbed her forehead without saying anything.


    It¡¯s been a long time since Nicole has been a producer. Of course, Nicole understands that this kind of movie overdue is almost inevitable. If the game is adapted into a movie, if you want to succeed, without sufficient preparation, where is it possible?


    Gently shook Nicole¡¯s hand, Ryan didn¡¯t say anything, he knew that Nicole wanted to target Natalie, and he was completely dead of the unrealistic idea of ??being able to live in harmony with each other, as long as the complaint was maintained. To a certain extent, he can also ignore their tit-for-tat.


    Just like the filming of this movie, Nicole can complain, Natalie can also complain, as long as it does not affect the normal progress of the work, that is enough.


    Looking at the sharp eyes and sweeping Nicole near the monitor from time to time, Ryan sighed. Fortunately, he dispelled the idea of ??insisting on pulling Nicole and the others into the same movie. Otherwise, the current studio would definitely become turbulent. battlefield.


    Even if Nicole and Natalie quarrel in public, he wouldn''t be surprised.


    In front of Nicole, Sandy had to converge a little bit, and Ryan didn''t stay long after losing the naughty and playful energy just now, and reinvested in the shooting.


    The shots that Ryan took today are fragmentary, mainly short shots. Most of these shots are frontal close-ups, or pictures that can clearly see the facial expressions of the characters, and the difficult fighting scenes are almost all replaced by three stunts. It''s done.


    Although Ryan has conducted intermittent special training for several months, he still can''t match those professionals in this respect.


    Besides, if he was injured and delayed shooting, it would be a loss that the crew could not bear.


    The shooting of a magical epic film is quite complicated, especially the preparatory work, which is too much to make people collapse. Fortunately, there will not be as many cavalry assault shots in "The Lord of the Rings", otherwise it would be a very headache to domesticate horses.


    The studio shooting here is still going on. The two teams of the crew have already rushed to a farm not far away and another outdoor location in the south to set up the scene. Because of the overdue preparations in the early stage, the film went from formal shooting to post-production. When it comes to the show time, all need to re-set the time.


    Natalie¡¯s shooting speed is definitely not fast, and even James Cameron¡¯s feeling, even if she won the Oscar for Best Director, this is actually her first super-large production, a relatively inexperienced female director. It is also normal to strive for stability and perfection in this regard.


    "I''m Jaina Proudmoore..."


    The majestic Lordaeron Palace that will be presented in the film is all replaced by a blue screen in the studio. On the blue screen, a blonde Jaina is greeting each other with Arthas, "I''m from Kul Tiras."


    "This is Arthas Menethil."


    The young prince is obviously very fond of the beautiful daughter of Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, the ruler of Kul Tiras, "Can I call you Jaina?"


    "It''s a great honor, Your Highness."


    This was the first encounter between Arthas and Jaina Proudmoore, and his entire destiny had changed.


    From the beginning of this scene, the crew shot a large number of rival scenes between Ryan and Gail Gado, and this pair of young lovers has since embarked on two completely different paths.


    Jaina will return to Dalaran after staying in Lordaeron for a few days. In these few days, both Arthas and Jaina have left a deep imprint on each other''s hearts¡ªsimilar identities, among the younger generation. The most outstanding conditions, these are the basis for the relationship between the two.


    They secretly camped in the wild together, and avoided the guards of the orc concentration camp to see the orc slaves. Their encounter was the beginning of romance, but it was also the beginning of tragedy. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 826： May the Holy Light guide your direction

    The huge granaries are arranged neatly together, under the cover of the green trees, forming a peculiar scenery. Coupled with the surrounding facilities, it forms a town full of medieval colors, but the surrounding camera rails and All kinds of advanced facilities, and clearly tell the people around, this is just a set.


    After several months of landscape reconstruction, the storage area of ??the farm became a grain transfer and distribution station in the northern part of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and Arthas and his party also came to this kingdom''s important town!


    Under the cross-shooting of two imax3d cameras, Alsace, played by Ryan, led a team to protect Jaina into a grain transfer station that could not be seen at the end.


    "Did they escape in this direction?"


    Arthas asked his chief guard and friend, "Darian, are you sure that the scout made no mistake?"


    "It can''t be wrong."


    Darian Mograine said very confidently, "The necromancer and his minions did escape here."


    Saying hello to the soldiers who came to greet him, Arthas walked into the town square, which is the food storage center of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. In addition to the numerous granaries, there is also a large barracks with an elite guard stationed. .


    However, compared with the last time I came here, the town looked extremely peaceful, and there were only a few soldiers garrisoned in the barracks, and even the large granaries that I passed by were all empty.


    "The food has been shipped to Stratholme..."


    A senior officer walking by Alsace introduced some basic information to the prince.


    Although the troops they brought were all elite, after a long journey, their faces were already exhausted. The garrison here had already prepared food, but Alsace had no intention of eating, and ordered Darian Mograine. Lead some people to eat first. He and Jaina led another group to check the barracks and granaries.


    The group stopped and went around the town, and then returned to the barracks.


    "Alsace..."


    at this time. Jaina showed the mage''s alert side, she looked at the open-air restaurant of the barracks. "I feel a breath of evil, and this evil is very similar to what I feel in those undead."


    "what?"


    Although he hardly noticed anything, Arthas still believed Jaina very much, "Could it be..."


    "go back!"


    He took off the power of Menethil from his back and ran to the place where the army eats first. Jaina and the other soldiers followed immediately.


    Then, Arthas saw a scene that made him unhappy.


    The hundreds of elite soldiers who had used the meal turned black and seemed to be suffering tremendously. Among them is Darion Mograine who grew up with him, this excellent warrior, clutching his Ashbringer, hoping to use the power of the Holy Light above to fight against this inexplicable evil.


    "His Royal Highness..."


    "His Royal Highness Prince¡­"


    The soldiers who endured the pain one after another spoke, pinning all their hopes on the prince they admired and loved.


    "what have you done!"


    Arthas grabbed the garrison officer casually, and his handsome face was full of rage and fierceness, "What did you do to them?"


    "Be careful, Arthas!"


    Jaina behind him suddenly released a magical shock wave, and flew out the officer whose face was also turning black. And he warned loudly, "I feel the breath of the undead!"


    At the same time, the officer suddenly changed strangely. His breath of life completely disappeared, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, he became an undead monster that had been killed by them all the way along the way. It was a zombie with a poisonous body!


    "Cut!"


    Natalie¡¯s stop sounded in time behind the camera, and there will be a large number of natural disasters on the scene. The actors must be replaced. Unlike the skeletons and zombies made with makeup and models in the past, here from skeletons to zombies, from hatred to food Ghoul. Will use motion capture to shoot.


    Darian Mograine, the character who was almost completely changed by Ryan. It is the focus of this scene, he grew up with Alsace. Brother and friend with the prince, he directly commanded Alsace''s prince guard, and played an important role in several battles.


    The death of this friend is undoubtedly another blow to Alsace. Darian Mograine possesses the power of the Holy Light as much as his, and he also possesses the Ashbringer who has been baptized by the Holy Light. Darian Mograine could not be prevented from transforming into undead, which further shook Alsace''s belief in the Holy Light.


    "May... the Holy Light be with you..."


    At this moment, in the face of Darion Mograine who is about to turn into an undead, Ryan¡¯s lines have shown his heart, he is no longer a devout believer of the Holy Light, "May... the Holy Light guide Your direction, my brother!"


    Filming was interrupted again, and a large number of actors including Ryan and Gail Gado retired. One after another stuntman appeared in front of the camera. They were the main force in filming the next battle between humans and the undead.


    It is impossible for this kind of film to win performance awards. Instead of taking the risk of shooting the actor, it is better to let the professionals appear on the stage, and their fights are more powerful and more realistic.


    The morning shooting went smoothly. By noon, the scheduled plan was completed, and Ryan and others also had a relatively relaxed lunch time.


    Nicole specially sent the management staff of the farm to invite the main members of the crew to the residential area of ??the farm. Although she didn''t wait to see the crew very much, she wouldn''t be upset about such trivial matters. As one of the investors, she also After showing up for a while, he didn''t stay in the restaurant for too long, so he returned to the second floor.


    And Sandy, who likes to lively, stayed with Ryan, just like Taylor when he was a child, sitting between Taylor and Ryan at the long table, listening curiously to Ryan, Natalie, and Julius. And the conversation of Gail Gado and others.


    "I watched the special effects picture from Industrial Light & Magic."


    It was Natalie who was talking, and she was mainly talking to the producer Julis, "The effect of hatred should be changed."


    "I agree with your opinion." Julius nodded in agreement.


    "But I think the current abomination effect is very good and very realistic."


    Tyler is indispensable everywhere, and there are no outsiders here. She directly expressed her opinion, "Whether it is the game or the setting in Ryan''s original book, hatred is evil and terrifying..."


    "Alison, you overlooked one thing."


    Putting down the spoon, Natalie interrupted Taylor''s words directly, "That''s the movie''s classification problem. The ideal situation of the movie is pg-13. If the abhorrent belly is not sewn, it is dripping with slimy blood, dragging the mess. If you¡¯re in the intestines, the film will definitely be rated r by MPAA.


    "Nate!"


    Gail Gado knocked on the porcelain plate dissatisfied, and made a crisp sound, "Please stop the intestines and blood, okay? We are eating!"


    Looking around, Natalie saw that everyone had stopped her movements. Taylor, the most exaggerated, had already vomited the food in her mouth onto the napkin, and quickly said, "Sorry, I ignored the occasion."


    Ryan and others will not mind, this can be said to be a common problem of many directors. When they are fully immersed in the work, they will naturally ignore the surrounding environment.


    "That aunt is disgusting."


    Just when everyone was about to disperse, Ryan''s ears keenly caught Sandy''s voice, his stern eyes swept across his daughter, the little guy unconsciously shrank his neck, closed his mouth obediently, and took Tyler. With his hand, he hurriedly left the restaurant.


    The filming in the afternoon quickly kicked off. Although the fighting scenes in the morning were not over yet, Natalie was not prepared to supervise the filming personally. She handed these scenes that were not difficult to perform to her deputy, and then went with Ryan and others. Transitioned to a flat grassland on the farm.


    A blue screen has long been set up here, and several cranes are scattered around in a strewn fashion. Cameras or recording equipment are hung under the long jibs. Obviously, they are ready for shooting.


    After a simple make-up, Ryan took Menethil''s power to play again, and he will be the two important characters in the series, Uther, the Lightbringer and later Tirion Fording, the leader of the Silver Crusade. .


    "Uther, our people cannot sacrifice in vain."


    Alsace, who had just experienced setbacks, said bitterly to his teacher, "There is a culprit behind the orcs. We should continue to investigate. We must avenge the dead people and let the culprit pay the price!"


    The Lightbringer had already seen the anger in Alsace''s heart, but conservatively he did not choose the appropriate way of enlightenment. He just used the dogma of the Knights of the Silver Hand to preach, "We are paladins, and we cannot let the emotion of revenge take over us. Consciousness. UU reading "


    "But the victims are the people of Lordaeron!" Arthas was extremely excited, his eyes flashed with revenge, "We must seek justice for them!"


    "Hey, Arthas, pay attention to your tone!"


    Tirion Fording standing behind Uther broke the silence and reminded loudly, "Uther is your mentor and the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand. You must maintain your respect for him!"


    The young and energetic, full of pride, and the prince who has just encountered setbacks and is eager for revenge, can only press the raging fire of revenge into his heart until the day it bursts out and becomes the **** fire that destroys everything.


    This shot has been done once. Although Uther is only a third-line actor in Hollywood, he is an old drama player with good acting skills. The important figure in the series, Tirion Fording, Julius specially invited the veteran British. Actor Christopher Lee, the actor of Earl Dooku and Saruman, had been on the battlefield of World War II, and then acted as a British spy. His hands were bloodied himself, and he is undoubtedly a very suitable role for Tirion Fording. Candidates. (To be continued)

 Chapter 863： The end of the age of magic

    With the advent of June and July, Australia has entered the winter, and the crew has not been affected by the changes of the seasons. The filming is rotated between Nicole¡¯s Golden Farm and Warner Film World¡¯s studios, and a trip to South Wales in the middle. In Newcastle, after a short shot there, I went to islands closer to the south and filmed some winter scenes about Lordaeron. "


    The production cost of 150 million US dollars is obviously not enough. Walt Disney has added another 15 million US dollars in investment, and Charlize Theron¡¯s ct Nature Treasure also invested 15 million US dollars in the film. Thus, the total production cost of the film was piled up to 180 million US dollars!


    The pressure on Natalie has further increased. If the film fails commercially, it will be a total tragedy.


    As the leading actor, Ryan''s life was not easy. After Charlize''s investment was in place, she herself came to Australia. This scene of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms would be a headache for anyone to change.


    Compared to Natalie, Nicole is kind to Charlize. In any case, this is Sandy''s godmother. Although the two also have extremely serious knots, they are not at the level of not talking to each other.


    "Is this the heroine selected by Director Portman?" Charlize''s tone was slightly disdainful.


    Today, there is no Ryan scene. He asked for some master tapes from the crew to watch, and Charlize, who had nothing to do, also went to the drawing room.


    "This is not a female mage at all."


    According to Charlize¡¯s original expectation, Jaina originally belonged to her role, but now she has to give up due to some irritating reasons. She naturally has a prejudice against Gal Gado. Diana Prinz, not Jaina Proudmoore."


    In fact, Ryan understands. What Charlize said is not unreasonable, after all, the image of Gail Gado''s Wonder Woman is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.


    "My dear..." Ryan turned off the player, rubbing his forehead helplessly, "This is just a vase character, and Gail has also made a lot of effort."


    "Alright alright."


    Raising his hand, Charlize stood up and turned behind Ryan, carefully placed his hand on his forehead and rubbed it lightly, "Relax. I know you are very busy and tired. Worry, since Miss Kidman can turn a blind eye, I can do it."


    Turning his head, Ryan took a serious look at Charlize, and there was a gentle smile on the face of the South African Diamond, just like the past ten years.


    Think of the troubles during this time. Ryan closed his eyes slightly and was able to maintain his current state. He was already very satisfied. Excessive extravagance would only break the fragile balance that was hard to form now.


    Filming in Queensland has temporarily come to an end. The crew moved to Sydney, and in the studio of Fox Studios, the filming of the final scene of the first part began. This is definitely the darkest moment in the history of film-Alsace Menech, who has no choice. Er helplessly raised the butcher knife to the people he vowed to protect. Put down the faith of the Holy Light and walked into the dark abyss with no way out.


    It is impossible for the crew to build a Stratholme specifically for this purpose, and the shooting is still carried out in a blue screen surround. The huge city will be synthesized later using technology.


    Since arriving in Sydney, these actors, including Ryan, wielding weapons and fighting in the air every day have become the norm. Occasionally there are props on the stage, and they are also disgusting and scary skeletons, and even the prop set has produced several realistic ones. The abomination model, even though Natalie''s request, blocked the stomach that was most unbearable to look directly at, it was still very scary.


    The number of Ryan shootings has also plummeted, and now only two of the three stunt doubles are left. The other one left the crew due to injuries as early as when he was shooting combat scenes on the farm.


    These three stunt doubles are all commonly used by Ryan, and the crew will not treat them badly. All compensation will be provided. Although Ryan and Disney are both black-hearted capitalists, they will not fail to deduct the remuneration of the cast and crew. Point.


    While shooting, the promotion of the film was also carried out in an orderly manner under the full promotion of Disney.


    At the just-concluded San Diego Comic-Con, Disney Pictures announced the 30-second "Artistic Trailer" of the "World of Warcraft" movie, which included the real scene cut by Natalie and the computer special effects produced by Industrial Light & Magic.


    These scenes show the battle between humans and orcs at the beginning of the film. It is full of epic. Although there is no creativity at the beginning, it is the best way to attract the audience''s attention.


    What''s more, this is just the beginning of the film''s publicity.


    Next, the last part of the "Harry Potter" series of movies-"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" officially landed in North American theaters in the summer. This much-anticipated masterpiece is more than an ordinary movie. , Which was mixed with a new promotional clip of the movie version of "World of Warcraft".


    With the help of the huge popularity of "Harry Potter", "World of Warcraft" is being filmed and the news about its upcoming launch has quickly become known to the world.


    The "Harry Potter" series of movies has temporarily reached the end. From the beginning of the two thousand years to the present, this series has accumulated a huge influence and a wide range of fans, and all the accumulations have been completely exploded in the last one. .


    Because of the shooting of the new movie, Ryan did not attend the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", but paid enough attention to the film.


    The ending chapter mainly revolves around the ultimate battle between Horcrux and Harry and Voldemort. The action scene is enlarged in the film. There is a wonderful fighting scene almost every ten minutes in the film, plus the Iron Triangle Gringotts The big scenes such as the escape, the Battle of Hogwarts, and the ultimate showdown are even more dizzying. The ending is called the "Magic War Epic" at all.


    In particular, Voldemort led Death Eaters, giant spiders, and monsters to attack the school. Professor McGonagall and others swore to the death to defend the school. For the first time, they used the spell "Stone Pier Out" to summon those who had been guarding the castle for hundreds of years. The stone warrior, the scene is magnificent and shocking.


    Frankly speaking, the end of "Harry Potter" is historic, and its end has made many fans sigh, because it represents an important chapter of popular culture.


    According to Taylor and Gail Gado, who watched the film in Sydney, when "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" ended, many fans shed tears and accompanied them for a whole decade of series. This is the end.


    Although the end of this magical journey makes people feel disappointed, it far exceeds expectations. The ingenious design of youth adventure, extraordinary visual enjoyment, and the sense of substitution of the plot are destined to resonate with most viewers over time.


    An era came to an end, and the media commemorated the end of this magical era with high praise.


    ""Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" fully proves that Ryan''s decision to divide the last book of "Harry Potter" into two parts is correct. To be fair, this is an exciting and eventful The final chapter of the series can capture and greatly please all fans of the series from the beginning to the present."


    -"Los Angeles Times"


    "David Yates successfully transformed the final battle that Ryan focused on into a tragic and magnificent picture. The students fought against the Death Eaters who were flooding the school like a tide. This is a landmark film. , It resonated with everyone-everyone has a dark corner in their heart, but the important thing is to be able to overcome it."


    -"Daily Telegraph"


    Just like the reaction of the media, the audience''s reaction to "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is also extremely high.


    ""Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is undoubtedly an ultra-high-level work from beginning to end."


    "The ending is excellent, fully transforming Ryan''s text into a wonderful picture, suitable for the end of the entire series."


    Of course, on the other hand, the film was frantically complained by the audience, that is, the image of the actors.


    With the exception of Emma Watson, almost all the protagonists in the film are crooked. Netizens in the United Kingdom and the United States have vomited that Ryan, who had decided on the actor candidate, had no eyesight. The child stars he saw were all turned into crooked melons. Split date...


    However, these did not affect the commercial performance of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". It was Emma Watson alone that brought the actor''s image problem back.


    The film earned US$45.5 million in the midnight show in North America, breaking the US$30 million midnight box office record set by "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" just now; US$97.1 million on the opening day broke the US$88.95 million in "Avengers" Records on the day of the show; the opening week received $189.52 million, which was second only to the "Avengers" in the box office of the first week.


    As the end of the series, Disney will definitely push "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" onto the road of simultaneous global releases. Relying on the huge popularity accumulated by the series, overseas also ushered in a huge box office explosion.


    Also on the first three days of the week, the film won US$378.99 million outside of North America, and the box office totaled US$568.51 million in the first week of the world!


    Not only that, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" also broke the box office record for the premiere day in France, Italy, Sweden, Russia, Denmark, Belgium, Finland and other countries!


    The whole world movie market in July was completely dominated by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", and the popularity of this series also made the several promotional clips mixed in it widely known, which will become the real person of "World of Warcraft" next year. The release of the movie was well publicized.


    Since the "World of Warcraft" live-action movie was basically completed in Australia from shooting to post-production, Ryan spent a lot of time in Sydney or Brisbane, except for occasionally flying back to Los Angeles to deal with affairs. This situation has continued until Australia. summer.


    When he really finished his filming and dubbing work in the film and returned to North America, the new awards season has kicked off, and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has also been dropped from all over the world. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 864： Depravity is a complicated process

    When "Under Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" dropped from the North American market with a box office of US$452.45 million, it basically ended its overseas screenings, and the final global box office totaled US$1.476.58 million. A terrifying number.


    Such box office results also ensure that the film has overwhelmed last year''s popular "Ice and Snow Adventure" and firmly sits at the fourth place in the total box office list of movie history.


    The "Harry Potter" series of movies came to an end. The total box office of the eight films totaled 8.35645 million U.S. dollars, surpassing George Lucas''s six-part "Star Wars" and becoming the most-grossing film series of all time.


    However, the box office is only the tip of the iceberg for the profits of the "Harry Potter" series, and the income from various peripheral derivatives is even greater and terrifying.


    Although it is not as exaggerated as Wall Street predicted that the movie would create hundreds of billions of dollars in output value at the end, after the downgrade of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", according to the statistics of many authoritative organizations, "Harry Potter" In addition to the original novels and movie box office revenue, the peripheral derivative products have brought Walt Disney more than 48 billion U.S. dollars in revenue, and the value of the industry created on this basis is close to 80 billion U.S. dollars!


    These are only statistical revenues. The sales of products in some countries and regions are really difficult to calculate. In addition to the legitimate products that can be counted, in some countries and regions with unfavorable copyright protection, there are still a large number of pirated and counterfeit products. Taking these into account, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Harry Potter series has created an industrial chain worth hundreds of billions of dollars in ten years.


    Regardless of Disney and other profitable parties, Ryan alone has received a total of more than 3 billion U.S. dollars in after-tax shares from the income of peripheral derivatives. This does not count as a shareholder from Walter. Those bonuses that Disney got.


    If books can make a super rich, it is the Harry Potter series.


    Although with the end of the film, the entire series created revenue. It will show a decline, but hundreds of billions of dollars is definitely not the end. This industry chain will continue to create huge revenue for Ryan and Disney in Disneyland, Disney Children''s Channel and every corner of the world.


    Moreover, when the series is over, it is impossible for Disney to re-shoot in the short term, so the animated series of the "Harry Potter" series was put on the agenda by Disney. Regardless of whether the cartoons can achieve great success like movies in the future, Can promote the sales of peripheral products.


    Yes, selling peripherals is the eternal theme of this series!


    When the new awards season is fiercely competitive. When the media and the public looked back, they found another horrible fact. The top five movies in the box office of film history all belong to Disney, and they all have a direct relationship with Ryan.


    "Avatar", "Titanic", "Avengers", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" and "Frozen Adventure" occupy the top five in the world movie history box office chart. Looking further back, "The Lord of the Rings 3" "The Return of the King", "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: Stormy Tides", "Toy Story 3" and many other Disney-produced and released films are still the main force in the second echelon.


    Disney production has left an indelible mark on the entire world film market. Hollywood will inevitably record the past two decades and Ryan''s name in the annals of history.


    "Since the birth of Hollywood and even movies. No one or a company has ever achieved such crazy results as Ryan!"


    When the new year came, Ryan was once again selected as the cover character in the opening issue of Time. And supplemented by this passage.


    Soon afterwards, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" won the Oscar nomination for Best Picture, and many media believe that this film can completely impact the Best Picture Statuette.


    "This is just a booze of media hype."


    Sitting on the Malibu beach, basking in the warm sun. Ryan cut the apple for Sandy, who was wearing small sunglasses next to him, and said to Taylor on the other side, ¡°They need news that attracts eyeballs. Although Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the final chapter of a super series, As long as I am still alive, the chance of winning the Oscar for Best Picture is close to zero."


    "Then why is this, Dad?"


    As an important member of this family, coupled with the influence of his childhood, Sandy, who is almost six years old, has understood some of the meanings of Oscars, "Are our films not good enough? Or do we have no money to promote the film?"


    "My dear..." Ryan handed over the shredded apple, "This is one of Oscar''s rules. You will understand in a few years."


    The same type of magic, the same propaganda that justice will eventually defeat evil, the same word-of-mouth and box office double harvest, while "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" can sweep the Oscars ceremony, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is likely to only Take a few comforting technology awards.


    Don¡¯t say that "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" did not have strong competitors at the time. Everyone knows that this film is the biggest hit of the year, and the award is well deserved, and the "Harry Potter" series and "The Lord of the Rings" Compared with the series, in addition to being more childish, there is another disadvantage that cannot be reversed-Tolkien is dead, Ryan is still alive, and the future is promising!


    This is one of the unwritten rules of the Oscars that Ryan said to Sandy, just like Heath Ledger won the prize with the advantage of dying by taking drugs. The dead always have some privileges on the Oscars.


    If Ryan had an accident before the vote, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" would surely win the best film.


    Of course, Ryan is not so crazy, and now a golden man of the best film, he will not be too much in his eyes, Disney has not much public relations for this film.


    Even Ryan did not attend this year''s Oscars ceremony.


    After the Oscars awards ceremony, the film officially named "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince" entered the final publicity stage before the release, including Ryan, Taylor and Natalie and other major cast and crew members began to contribute to this film Unlike previous films, there are very few examples of successful game adaptation films, and Ryan also put most of his energy into publicity.


    Disney has also used all its media resources for this movie, which has a total investment of up to 300 million US dollars. On TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, online communities and social media, you can see "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince" everywhere. News and advertising.


    In addition, out of confidence in Ryan, Disney has also invested a large amount of resources in peripheral products. Dolls and toys of humans, orcs, dwarves, and even the undead of natural disasters have been put into production after patterning and sample preparation. The weapons used by the main characters, such as the power of Menethil of Arthas, the Ashbringer of Darion Mograine, the Iron Staff of Jaina Proudmoore, and so on.


    These weapons are obviously different from the shapes in the game. They are not so complicated and gorgeous. On the basis of maintaining the style, they tend to be more practical in the battlefield.


    At the same time, in order to cooperate with Disney''s promotional film, Blizzard Entertainment also marked the release date of the film on the start interface of the game, so as to attract the most basic game fans to watch the movie.


    After entering April, Disney Pictures finally released the first official trailer, which is about two minutes long.


    In addition to showing the battle between the coalition of humans, dwarves and high elves and the green-skinned orcs at the beginning, the trailer mainly revolves around Alsace Menethil, and shows in turn the many favorites of his youth. Court life, following the learning career of Muradin King of the Hill and Uther, the Lightbringer, the desire for power, the love for the kingdom, and the heavy burden on the battlefield, and Jaina Proudmoore Entanglement, and the final purification Stratholme!


    Just the trailer shows the magnificent momentum of the film, full of magical epic sense, and the outstanding special effects are even more breathtaking. This is definitely not comparable to the five-cent special effects of "Dungeon and Dragon".


    Furthermore, although the trailer is very short, it can also be seen that Alsace Menethil is not exactly the same as the setting in the game and the novel. The whole story has obviously been expanded while maintaining the main frame. Adaptation of the range.


    This will naturally arouse dissatisfaction from some **** game fans. Fortunately, this series was originally written by Ryan, and the movie script was also adapted by him, which can dilute the dissatisfaction of fans.


    At a publicity event in Los Angeles, Ryan also accepted an exclusive interview with reporters for this, and specifically talked about the issue of Alsace.


    "Film is a form of expression completely different from games and novels As the absolute protagonist in the film, Alsace has a complicated psychology and personality. The film is indeed telling the story of his fall, but he The process of depravity was not completed in a short time, but a rather long and complicated process."


    "In the setting of the game, Alsace''s fall is more due to himself. It is undeniable that his fall is inseparable from himself, but has nothing to do with the surrounding environment? Therefore, Disney Pictures is making this While the magical epic story turns into a wonderful picture, it is also exploring the reasons for the fall of Alsace. This will be a deep-seated problem."


    What Ryan said is not an exaggeration. Perhaps his script is a standard popcorn script, but after all, Natalie is different from a standard commercial film director like Michael Bay. The films she produced retain Ryan¡¯s commercial intentions. On the basis of, I still brought some of her personal style, and explored the reasons for the tragedy of Alsace in a simpler way.


    Of course, as a commercial film, these are only stop-and-go, and will not affect the commercial nature of the film. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 865： your Highness

    Movie posters are covered with large and small outdoor advertising columns. You can easily find movie advertisements on the homepages of the eight major portal websites in the United States. And Hulu and Ryan-Disney Online are full of viral videos of movies, and Google¡¯s popular searches. The keywords are filled with the vocabulary of the Warcraft live-action movie, and the most popular reposts on Facebook and Twitter recently are also related to the movie...


    Walt Disney, which has strong self-production and sales capabilities and a complete film and television industry chain, uses its huge media platform to almost achieve the ultimate in the promotion and marketing of "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince".


    Starting in mid-April, major theaters in the United States including AMG and Emperor Entertainment Group have launched pre-sale services for films with several websites. In just ten days, "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince" was sold in North America. A box office pre-sale of nearly $55 million was made, and this number is still increasing over time.


    Compared with the past "The Hunger Games 2" and "Transformers 2", such pre-sale numbers seem to be very average, but don''t forget, this is not a sequel, but a game adaptation movie that has not been tested by the market!


    Even so, Ryan, who has seen the trial version of the film, is very confident in the commercial prospects of "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince". Natalie has excellent control of the commercial elements on the basis of reflecting her own style. While giving people some thinking, the film maintains a fast enough rhythm and excellent picture effects.


    The summer file is getting closer and closer, and Disney¡¯s publicity for the film can be described as indiscriminate bombardment. This publicity effect is directly reflected in the pre-sale of the box office in the first week, when the summer file in May kicks off. , The North American box office pre-sale of "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince" has passed the 80 million US dollar mark. If nothing else, the film''s first week of box office will inevitably exceed 100 million US dollars.


    As for whether the film will hit the street after the box office in the first week, it depends on the reputation of the audience after it is released.


    "father¡­¡­"


    In the living room of Malibu Villa, Sandy tugged at the corner of Ryan''s dress. Constantly shaking, "Can you take me with me? You and Mommy are not here, and my sister will also go to the premiere. No one will play with me..."


    The little guy is very clever, and instead of begging the stern mother, he clings to Ryan, who dotes on her.


    "Dad..." She stared with big blue eyes, and her pitiful look was hard to refuse.


    Perhaps it is because there is always a little guilt deep in my heart. Ryan has never refused Sandy''s request that is not too excessive. At this time, he had to turn his head and look at Nicole who came out after putting on makeup. She pulled the skirt corners of the moon-white strapless dress and looked at it for a while, and she understood the general situation.


    "You make a decision!"


    Nicole''s eyes swept across Ryan''s face, and then beckoned to Sandy. The little guy obediently walked to the mother''s side.


    Looking at the tacit mother and daughter, Ryan already understood what to do, and said to the housekeeper in the corner of the living room, "Elsa, take Sonny to change her dress."


    "Wow. Dad is the best!"


    The little guy shook his fist happily, and then graciously kissed his mother''s smooth arm, "Mummy is even better!"


    After speaking, she ran to Elsa who came over. Holding the hand of the housekeeper, she disappeared in the corner of the corridor leading to the dressing room.


    "Are you sure you want to do this?" Why couldn''t Ryan see that Sandy must be backed by Nicole.


    "Sanny is your and my daughter. She can''t completely avoid the media, and she has to adapt to this kind of life."


    What Nicole said is the simplest truth. In the News Corp incident, Sandy''s identity has been exposed, although the pictures published in the media obscured the eyes. Her appearance can''t be concealed from anyone, and she is destined to never have the same childhood as other children. They can protect her, but she has to learn to adapt to such a life.


    Sandy is almost reaching school age. Although she can receive the best family education, she is not the Ryan when she was a child. Getting along with her peers and expanding the circle of friends is also a process that children of this age must go through.


    As the Oscar-winning actress and the daughter of two super rich people, it is conceivable how Sandy will be pursued in the future.


    Ryan can influence many media, but cannot control all media.


    A lot of relevant information flashed through Ryan¡¯s mind, and he fell into a short silence. Nicole¡¯s actions are understandable, but they may not have other ideas. For example, doing so will inevitably lead him to the red carpet. The image of Sankou will naturally become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.


    People are selfish. In fact, Ryan also understands that Nicole is not doing this to steal Natalie''s limelight, but for her daughter. After all, her daughter needs a relatively complete family.


    "If you don''t want to."


    Seeing Ryan suddenly not speaking, Nicole spoke again, "I''ll go talk to Sunny."


    "Honey..." Ryan opened his hands.


    He is not stupid, as Nicole said. If it is really prevented, I am afraid that there will be a dispute between the two immediately, even if it will not affect the relationship between each other, it will be a kind of harm to the passionate daughter.


    Nicole was soothed in words, and seeing her high eyebrows slowly falling, Ryan took up his pockets and walked back and forth in the living room for a few steps, answering some questions that Nicole had thrown over. Wait patiently for Sandy to change his dress.


    "Are you sure Sunny won''t be afraid?" Ryan was still a little worried.


    "Don''t worry." Nicole rolled her eyes here, "You are busy every day, and you don''t have time to take care of your daughter''s daily affairs. In order to deal with those pesky paparazzi in the future, after coming back from Australia last year, I have looked for People have carried out some targeted training for Sonny. Although you can''t deal with those difficult guys, you should be able to see that Sonny is a bit like Alison before and is not afraid of them."


    This can be said to be some learning that children from rich and celebrity families must carry out since childhood.


    "Mummy..."


    The crisp childish voice spread to the living room. Sandy wore a pink dress and princess hair bun, walked quickly in front of Ryan and Nicole, and gave a lady''s gift with a smile, "Dad, am I beautiful?"


    "You are the most beautiful."


    Complimenting her daughter, Ryan and Nicole took Sandy''s hand alone, walked out of the villa, sat on the black Rolls Royce that had been waiting in front of the door, and rushed to the Kodak Theater where the premiere was held.


    "No matter what they say or do, I can''t see or hear!"


    Sitting in the car, Sandy also talked about how to deal with paparazzi, "Mommy said I am protected now, and they dare not go too far. If they cross the border, Mommy and sister will punish them!"


    Her big eyes rolled around, "Dad..."


    Before her daughter finished speaking, Ryan raised her index finger to her, "Sandy, put away your strange thoughts."


    "Okay." The little guy dropped his head on purpose.


    The Rolls-Royce RV arrived at the Kodak Theater a little late, and the red carpet ceremony has come to an end. With the acquiescence of Ryan and Nicole, Sandy lay on the special car glass, curiously watching the crowds outside. .


    The two teams of infantry from the Kingdom of Lordaeron wear full-body armor and hold shields painted with the Lion Heart emblem of the Alliance. They are neatly arranged on both sides of the red carpet, attracting the attention of countless people. It is in reality that many game fans When the characters of the game cheered, the Rolls-Royce RV parked in front of the red carpet.


    Under the illumination of countless flashing lights, Ryan took the lead out of the car, and then reached out and took out Nicole. Everyone was waiting for them to walk on the red carpet hand in hand, when a curly blond hair was rolled into a princess''s bun, and his head was still The lovely girl with a crown of gems jumped out of the car and walked to Ryan and Nicole, holding their hands one by one.


    The Kodak Theater fell silent for an instant. Most reporters forgot to press the camera shutter. Even with their toes, they could guess the identity of the little girl walking between Ryan and Nicole!


    "My dear, do you remember what you said just now?" Ryan reminded Sandy.


    "No matter what they say or do, I can''t see or hear!"


    Sandy raised his head slightly and looked straight ahead, completely ignoring the reporters chasing on both sides of the red carpet and the growing noise around him, just like a proud princess.


    No, she is completely a princess now!


    Although they walked on the red carpet with their daughter, even though this was the beginning of Sandy''s learning to deal with the media, and even though there were countless worries waiting for her in the future, Ryan and Nicole neither intended to be interviewed nor were they in front of the media. Xiu Enai''s thoughts walked directly across the red carpet at Sandy''s fastest speed, without entering the media interview area at all, and went straight into the Kodak Theater.


    "Sister..." Sandy found Tyler as soon as he walked into the VIP lounge and walked over immediately, "Sister!"


    "Hey, Sonny." Taylor took a few steps forward, bending over and gently hugging Sandy, "I didn''t expect to see you here."


    "Mommy said, you played an important role in the film."


    The cleverness of the little guy can be seen, and her relationship with Taylor is also very good, "I specifically asked Dad to bring me to cheer for you."


    "My dear..." Taylor deliberately squeezed her tall little nose, "I''m so touched!"


    Looking at the daughter who is close to Taylor Ryan''s eyes quickly swept across the lounge. Apart from him, the cast and crew should still stay in the interview area, waiting for routine interviews. You can enter the theater only after the group photo.


    Taylor led Sandy over. Ryan saw this big girl who was taller than himself in high heels and asked concerned, "Alison, I heard you are going to propose to Scarlett?"


    "Already done."


    Tyler seemed very happy. The royal blue eyes swept across Ryan several times. "Scarlett agreed. We will choose a suitable time for the wedding. Ryan, don''t forget, you said you wanted to hold me. On the red carpet of the wedding..."


    "Honey." Nicole shook Taylor''s hand with emotion, "How could we miss your wedding?"


    After a few words, the Disney staff came in to inform that it was possible to enter. Ryan and others walked into the theater and waited for the film to kick off. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 866： Begin the war

    "This is a world where swords and magic coexist. For tens of thousands of years, humans, orcs, gnomes, dwarves, and elves have lived peacefully on several continents in this world, until the ancient demons came from the sky..."


    There was silence in the vast theater, only Gail Gado¡¯s voice that belonged to Jaina Proudmoore reverberated everywhere, and the audience watched attentively at the big screen full of dark tones, until a huge eye suddenly opened. open!


    An evil and terrifying green light gleamed in his eyes, which made people tremble with horror.


    "This... is this Sargeras?"


    Don''t think about it, the person who asks this question has either read the original novel or is a game fan, "Or Kil''jaeden or Archimonde?"


    "Shhh..." The companion next to him raised his index finger to his mouth, "Quiet, Emil!"


    Nodding his head, Emil temporarily let go of his mind and, like the audience around him, devoted all his energy to the film again.


    However, the film does not give too much interpretation of the identity of the devil, but only gives a general background explanation.


    "These demons are full of destruction. They picked the orcs with violent and bloodthirsty characters, and lured several of them, Orgrim, Ner''zhul, and others to lead the orcs to drink the blood of the devil, and let the fallen Azeroth The protector-Medivh, the guardian of Tireface, opened the portal of the orc world from Draenor to Azeroth..."


    With the sound, countless orcs successively drank the blood of the devil and became more manic. When the portal was opened, they screamed crazy under the leadership of several orc leaders such as Orgrim and Ner''zhul. The slogan, lined up in a neat queue, walked into the portal to another continent, bringing killing, destruction, chaos and blood to the human world.


    Because the 3d effect will cause the picture to darken, plus most of the time of the film. It will be dominated by dark colors. "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince" only has an imax version, not a 3d version.


    But even so, when you see the huge portal gleaming with evil light, and when groups of orc soldiers walk into the portal and pass through the cursed land, when they are neatly arranged on the open wilderness, use imax technology. The panoramic shots produced still amaze the audience.


    "Natalie Portman''s use of light and color is almost to the extreme."


    As a former well-known film critic. The few people who are still active in the media, Kenneth Turan and Todd McCarthy sat together. Although the two have always been steadfast Disney supporters, the emotions at this moment are from the heart, "Medv. When he appeared, the sky of Azeroth was bright and the whole world was full of warm colors, but when he activated the magic to open the portal, the green light instantly stained the bright sky. The whole color began to change to darkness, as the orc army began to change. Moving forward, the dark green-based colors quickly eroded the entire picture..."


    "This is the style Natalie Portman is good at."


    As a TV host, Todd McCarthy has carefully studied Natalie''s director skills. He lowered his voice and replied to his companion, "From the earliest short film "Coffee" to the later "127 Hours" and "Black Swan". You can see her unique technique and talent in the use of light and color."


    The professionals here pay more attention to the filming techniques and production skills, while the die-hard game fan Emil on the other side is a bit dissatisfied, not because he is dissatisfied with the effects shown in the movie. Instead, he was dissatisfied with the settings of the film adapted by Ryan.


    Because he is a **** tribal player!


    Although the film has just begun, and the introduction to the world background is only as simple and clear as possible, he still clearly sees that the tribe is almost the existence of the evil side in the film!


    This makes him such a tribal player feel so embarrassed.


    If it weren''t for the grandeur at the beginning of the film, and the special effects were so good that he couldn''t feel that the world was synthesized by computer, I''m afraid he would want to leave.


    There are also some other game fans around who are equally dissatisfied. From their complaints, it can also be heard that they are all **** tribal players.


    While those Alliance players were stunned, they were also persuading the tribe players they knew, "At least the first five minutes of the film are extremely good, aren''t they?"


    Indeed it is!


    Hearing what his partner said, Emil temporarily calmed down because he was attracted by the wonderful opening game in the film!


    "After the manic, bloodthirsty orcs rushed into Azeroth, they burned and looted, destroyed one town after another of human beings, destroyed the kingdom of storm in the south, marched all the way north, occupied several human and dwarven kingdoms, and used The Assassin killed King Ryan Wrynn of the Kingdom of Stormwind. Under the leadership of the regent Sir Anduin Lothar, the Kingdom of Stormwind had to temporarily retreat into the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and the entire world of Azeroth was about to be destroyed..."


    "At this critical moment, a joint meeting of the various races of Azeroth was held in Lordaeron. Humans, dwarves, and high elves, coordinated by the wizards of Dalaran, formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Lordaeron as the core, and Elect Arathi¡¯s last bloodline, Sir Anduin Lothar, as the supreme leader of the alliance army, and use the favorable terrain of Arathi Highlands to fight the orc army to the death."


    A big battle just appeared in front of the audience.


    The coalition assembled the remnants of the Stormwind Kingdom, the Knights of the Silver Hand of Lordaeron, the Mages of Dalaran, the High Elf Ranger Troops of Silvermoon City, and the elite dwarf infantry. In the iconic attire, game fans can still vaguely distinguish the many leading heroes leading the team-Anduin Lothar, Uther, Turalyon, Muradin? Bronzebeard, Alleria? Popular , Sylvanas? Windrunner, Antonidas, etc...


    The orcs are undoubtedly powerful when it comes to individual combat power, but when it comes to real marching operations, Orgrim and Ner''zhul are not the opponents of the experienced Anduin Lothar at all. They are being supplemented by their troops and have carried out After certain preparations, in this earth-shattering battle, the Alliance finally defeated the orc army after a bitter battle and drove them to the foot of the Black Rock Mountain.


    "The defeat of the orcs is inevitable. The ancient demons conveyed a conspiracy to Orgrim through the cunning Ner''zhul. They lied about negotiating with the Alliance army. When the compassionate Anduin Lothar attended the negotiation, Orgrim launched a sneak attack and killed this great and upright human leader."


    On the screen, Anduin Lothar¡¯s long sword was broken by Orgrim and sacrificed heroically. His adjutant Turalyon picked up the broken sword representing glory and responsibility, and led the silver hand that arrived later. The Knights completely defeated the orc army, captured many green-skinned orcs including Orgrim, and imprisoned them in Lordaeron and many other prison camps.


    "There is no new beginning."


    Hearing Todd McCarthy¡¯s slightly disappointed voice, Kenneth Turan nodded slightly, ¡°Like other epics, it must be a big battle at the beginning, although Natalie Portman¡¯s control of light, color and scenes They are all very well done, but there is really nothing innovative."


    He paused for a while, and then said, "But you can''t deny that this is Ryan''s consistent practice, and it is also the safest way to attract viewers to watch. Commercially speaking, this beginning can completely achieve a or even a+ Effect."


    With the help of the sea blue that lit up on the screen, Todd McCarthy¡¯s gaze swept across the theater quickly. What he carefully observed was the reaction of ordinary audiences. Almost all of them paid attention to the film attentively, and rarely saw the whispering. Obviously very satisfied with the beginning of the film.


    Yes, even tribal players like Emir can''t say much about the excitement of the opening battle. The film is like a rope that binds their thinking, allowing them to be drawn and willingly continue. Look on.


    Ner''zhul was fortunate to escape the pursuit of the human coalition forces, found a sea boat, and began the journey of fleeing across the ocean. He was seriously injured and bumped all the way. When he accidentally hit and hit the northernmost place When Northrend landed, it was close to the edge of collapse.


    However, this shaman who has practiced orc secrets has a cunning and powerful soul, and the demon who instigated the orcs also knew this, so he sent the dreadlord Merganis and brought it to Ner''zhul Elaborately crafted tools by the demons-the Helm of Domination and Frostmourne!


    After death, Ner''zhul''s soul resided in the helmet of dominance. Together with Merganis, using the evil mystery taught by the devil, he established an army composed of the dead and demons¡ªthe undead of natural disasters. Sealed himself in the Throne of Ice, peering into the south with his icy soul, the kingdom of Lordaeron that caused him to suffer defeat!


    He became a powerful lich, always paying attention to the dynamics of human beings, in order to choose some of them as his spokesperson in Azeroth, so as to achieve the purpose of destroying the world.


    Ner''zhul''s final choice was Prince Arthas, whose soul was filled with honor and justice.


    In the dark and cold tones, the ice crystal sealed the helmet of dominance, and the gate of Icecrown Citadel closed suddenly, waiting for someone to open it by himselfWho is this person?


    Non-gaming fans will definitely have this question. Iruncha has never played a game or read the original. Seeing this, I can''t help but scratch his head subconsciously.


    Although I don¡¯t understand the world built by Ryan, the beginning of the war with Gal Gado is not too much narration, enough for him to understand what kind of world it is, and what kind of background the story is in. Happened.


    The nearly thirteen-minute opening scene is over. The camera shifts to the kingdom of Lordaeron, which was fleeting before. The dark, cold, and depressive tones disappeared. The bright sun shines on the kingdom¡¯s martial arts field. The camera gradually moved, and a young man with blond hair and a tough and sunny face appeared in the picture.


    "Alsace!"


    The voice sounded beside him clearly expressed his identity to the audience, the prince of Lordaeron! (To be continued...)

 Chapter 867： This is a man of flesh and blood

    The tall pillars are connected one by one, and the supporting dome rises straight into the sky. There are also exquisite murals carved and painted. This majestic palace is the best portrayal of the great power of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the king. The place where Terenas Menethil II''s only son, Alsace Menethil, was born and raised.


    In Alsace''s youth, the enthusiastic and studious prince showed extraordinary intelligence, which won him the enthusiasm and love of his subjects.


    Under the influence of his predecessors'' excellent training and good family education, Alsace gradually grew into an excellent prince.


    Kindness, enthusiasm, integrity, bravery... He has almost all the good qualities that the world has. Of course, sometimes he will show a little arrogance, but as the heir of the future kingdom, Arthas is almost perfect.


    King Terenas was not only proud of having such a son, but also placed the hope of rejuvenating the kingdom and even the entire alliance on him; similarly, the subjects of the entire kingdom took the responsibility of human rejuvenation and the future leadership of the alliance as a matter of course. In Alsace''s body, especially Anduin Lothar''s glorious death in Blackstone Mountain, many people regarded him as the future leader of the alliance in training.


    As a boy, Arthas was not alone in the palace. He had two important partners to accompany him to grow up together-Varian Wrynn, the future king of the Kingdom of Stormwind, and the Knights of the Silver Hand who died in the battle of Arathi. One of the leaders, Alessandro Mograine''s son, Darian Mograine.


    They played together, studied together, and after the Battle of Black Rock Mountain, they jointly accepted the teachings of Uther the Lightbringer and Muradin, King of the Hills?


    They are best friends and brothers, and they crazily worship the great human hero-Anduin Lothar, the golden lion of Azeroth.


    The golden sunlight hit the garden of the palace, and the three people sitting on the lawn talked about the glorious human hero.


    "Sir Lothar is the bravest and most loyal person I have ever seen." Varian Wrynn said so, and Darian Mograine''s adoration of Lothar also stems from almost the same reason. Sir Sa exudes a strong sense of faith and honor. His words and deeds are awe-inspiring."


    "What about you, Arthas?" Varian asked a prince staring at a fascinated armor in the distance. "Why do you adore Sir Lothar."


    Arthas''s mind was obviously not here, he was fantasizing that armor piece as an orc, and he wielded his weapon to fight the orc, using his powerful force to protect the people who love him.


    It wasn''t until Varian asked again that Arthas came back to his senses, "Because Lord Lothar has a powerful force!"


    The orcs invaded Azeroth, in fact, it also affected Arthas. When he was out, he had encountered a sneak attack by an orc squad. The soldiers who defended him almost all died, and the wisdom and faith he was proud of in the past could not help anyone including him, if not from Sylvanas Windrunner in Silvermoon City rescued, he might have died by the orc''s butcher''s knife.


    This incident also made the young prince feel the effect of power for the first time.


    "Wow, she is so beautiful."


    Seeing the footage flashed back on the screen, Emil couldn''t help but sigh. That is the role played by Taylor Swift, "Is this Sylvanas Windrunner? She is so beautiful that she is suffocating!"


    "She shouldn''t go singing, she should make a movie."


    For Ryan and others, these fans have no new feelings for a long time. But Taylor, who officially appeared in the movie, made them feel amazing. "The Princess of Disney is simply the best vase. She can become a professional elf or princess!"


    At the same time, Sandy, who was sitting in the front row, pulled Taylor next to him. "Sister, you are so beautiful! But you appear too few times!"


    Tyler shrugged and said nothing. She is still very clear about her acting skills. It''s okay to show off when she goes abroad. I am afraid that the too difficult shots will make a fool of herself.


    Although Arthas desires power in his heart and desires to be a strong guardian, he is still a sunny prince who lacks experience. If he follows the normal trajectory, he is likely to grow into a father-like king.


    As a pursuing prince, Arthas did not want to disappoint his people and father.


    Stormwind City in the south has been rebuilt. As the heir to the throne, Varian Wrynn must return to his own country and ascend to the throne. Arthas bid farewell to his friends, that is, on the night of sending them off, because Wei Wei Sadness and insomnia made him discover an amazing secret.


    Kel''Thuzad, the court mage dispatched by the Kirin Tor Council in Dalaran to the kingdom, secretly studied black magic!


    The prince with a sense of justice immediately told his father about this discovery. Under Uther¡¯s auspices, the palace guard easily captured Kel''Thuzad, grasped the evidence of his study of dark magic, and notified Dalaran of the situation. .


    The Mages Council of Dalaran specially sent a young female mage to Dalaran''s handling advice. King Terenas adopted this suggestion and announced that Kel''Thuzad was expelled from Lordaeron.


    It was at this time that Arthas met Jaina Proudmoore for the first time, the daughter of the female mage from Dalaran and the ruler of Kul Tiras, Dailin Proudmoore. With long golden hair and dreamy eyes, there is a mysterious aura exuding all over the body, which is simply a deadly weapon for men of the same age.


    Jaina will stay in Lordaeron for a period of time. The young prince has launched a crazy pursuit of her. Perhaps the most outstanding representative of the younger generation, Jaina also quickly developed a good impression of Arthas. They are all in each other. A deep imprint was left in my heart.


    The young men and women quickly fell in love. They secretly went camping in the wild, and ran to Dunhold to see the orc captives together, where they saw an orc slave adopted by the leader of the Dunhold guard.


    Jaina was very interested in this orc slave and had some sympathy; Arthas was not. The pride of the prince and other reasons made him always think that the orcs were dirty and tyrannical.


    "Is this Thrall?"


    As soon as this question arose in his mind, Emil confirmed it, "This must be Thrall!"


    "Is Ryan ambushing for the extension of the series?" As a senior movie fan, Yilun thought of this in an instant.


    Although Jaina and Arthas had irreconcilable differences in the treatment of the orcs, they did not affect the feelings of the two. On a midsummer night with the sky full of stars, they had each other¡ªwhether physical Still the mind.


    Since the beginning of the war, the film has always been shown in a bright color, and the prosperity of Lordaeron can be seen everywhere. It is not too much to describe the fragrance of birds and flowers. Arthas and Jaina have a green and beautiful love, and more It is the culmination of this atmosphere.


    The picture occasionally switched. Under the dark clouds, the expelled Kel''Thuzad seemed to be summoned inexplicably. His desire for magical power made him walk into the abyss without hesitation, in the will of Ner''zhul and the dreadlord. Under the guidance of Merganis, he practiced the powerful and evil undead magic, and established the cursed cult, reaching out to the orcs imprisoned by the Alliance.


    "Behind the prosperity is loneliness, and the opposite of light is darkness."


    As a professional, Kenneth Turan must have understood the meaning of the color environment of the film. "When such a beautiful home and subjects who love him so much were completely destroyed, this man who grew up in a greenhouse Prince, it¡¯s not surprising that there will be a psychological change."


    The beauty in the front is just to set off the gloom in the future. The environment is completely changing with Alsace''s mental process, and at the same time it is also influencing Alsace.


    The Emil knows this very well. Even the most vicious criminals will be angry and want revenge after seeing their homes destroyed step by step!


    Young men and women only know how to enjoy the beauty of love, but they cannot bear the responsibilities that come with it. Whether it is Jaina or Arthas, they have no intention of getting married for the time being, and the reality does not allow two people to do so.


    Jaina must return to Dalaran within a limited time, and Arthas, who has entered the adult stage, must enter the Knights of the Silver Hand to experience.


    Both Arthas and Jaina believed that this was only a temporary breakup, and in the bright future, they would definitely come together and live happily ever after.


    In the coming-of-age ceremony of life, Arthas received his gift, a powerful weapon, a warhammer cast by dwarves and blessed by the holy light by the paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand-Menethil Power.


    Although this weapon is not as good as the Ashbringer passed down by his friend Darian Mograine, it is also a rare weapon. It was also at the coming-of-age ceremony when Darion Mograine swore to become Al The captain of Sass, vowed to protect his brother with his life.


    Arthas was soberly aware of his duties as Prince of Lordaeron and a Paladin Now he deeply respects the power of the Holy Light, and he wholeheartedly wants to protect the people and country he loves. To protect them from any harm.


    "I swear¡­¡­"


    When he took over the power of Menethil, the prince made a firm vow!


    The picture on the screen gradually zoomed out, showing the scene of Alsace taking the oath in a panoramic way. There is no soundtrack, no other people¡¯s lines, and even Ryan¡¯s voice is not modified, only Alsace¡¯s trembling. Oath...


    The theater was silent, and everyone in the audience generally knew what would happen in the future. The vows echoing under the panoramic lens made them feel deep sadness and sorrow.


    Especially those game fans, they have already felt that this is an Alsace different from the game''s setting. This is not the one waiting to be pushed down in the game, but a flesh and blood, thought and emotion, and will be affected by the surrounding environment. Affected people! (To be continued...)

 Chapter 868： For Lordaeron

    Clouds rose in the sky, bright and dark tones entangled, as if the fate of the Kingdom of Lordaeron was blurred.


    The news of the orc riot in the slave camp broke the stability of the kingdom of Lordaeron. The orcs in some large slave camps, including Dunhold, suddenly became violent and restless again. With the assistance of outside forces, they broke the cage and escaped. One of them even, led by an orc slave fighter, killed Blackmore, the garrison leader of Dunhold.


    Even more frightening is that the most violent green-skinned orc team, under the leadership of a powerful orc sword saint, is attacking Lordaeron''s northern town Steinblad.


    As a king who has experienced orc wars, Terenas II did not hesitate to make the decision to use force to suppress, sending two of the best paladins in the kingdom, Uther and Tirion Fording, to lead part of the Silver The elite of the hand knights went to the north of the kingdom to fight.


    In this case, the young prince who vowed to protect the kingdom came forward. This is his responsibility as a prince and an opportunity to prove himself.


    Terenas II also will not give up this opportunity to help his son establish prestige and gain respect. But he still made a prudent decision to ask the prince to assist Uther, the commander of the army, instead of replacing him.


    But it must be admitted that for a young man with high ambitions and noble status, it is very difficult to possess a long, wind, literary, and humble character.


    In particular, Alsace has the impulsive and radical side of all young people, while the mature Uther can be described as conservative.


    When Arthas and Darian Mograine led the prince''s guard and rushed to Steinblad after Uther, the young prince felt the cruelty of the battlefield for the first time.


    Although Steinblad did not fall, he was already caught in the flames of war, and a large number of violent orcs rushed into the city. Burning, looting and looting are all evil, countless civilians have been slaughtered to the ground in this way. Although the heroic human soldiers are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of number and combat effectiveness, they are fighting desperately!


    The burning city, the piled corpses, the flowing blood, the evil and ugly orcs, all of which made Arthas and Darion who were first on the battlefield severely uncomfortable, and even experienced waves of vomiting, no matter how strict they had been. Training. For the cruel battlefield, it is an out-and-out rookie.


    "Protect the prince!"


    When the battle began, Tirion Fording reminded the prince¡¯s guard that they were all true elites who had participated in the orc wars. Facing the impact of the orcs, they used a circular formation to protect the prince and vowed to protect. The people''s Alsace has inevitably become a burden.


    War always requires a process of adaptation, not to mention the flowers that grow up in greenhouses like Alsace.


    Follow the powerful Knights of the Silver Hand. Arthas was pale, and the air was not only full of blood but also the stench of burning corpses, especially where he walked. Many soldiers of the Knights of the Silver Hand and his guard were lying down, and these vivid lives disappeared before his eyes.


    The cruelty of the war completely exceeded Alsace''s expectations.


    A strong fighter who has been trained as a future leader and has not experienced the real test. In the face of this situation, either retreat forever or face difficulties.


    What choice will Alsace make?


    Looking pale on the screen. The prince who occasionally covers his mouth and nose, Emil thinks that this is a real person. He is afraid and timid. Like most people in this world, he will fall into a scene that he has never experienced before. A brief period of confusion.


    Only this kind of Alsace made him feel reasonable. If the film is set in the game and Alsace is involved in fierce and cruel battles without any obstacles, then the character shown on the big screen is not flesh and blood at all. The character is just a cold one.


    Obviously, the young prince needs a stimulus to turn fear into fighting courage.


    The human forces rushed into the central square of Steinblad. Alsace saw the bodies of countless compatriots along the way, and his hand holding Menethil''s power became tighter and tighter. He thought of what he had set up when he took the warhammer. oath!


    When they resisted the edge of the square, the orcs were fighting with the remaining humans, and they found that the humans who had come to the reinforcements were cheering, and accompanied by the cheers, there were also the painful shouts of many humans before the death of the battle!


    These sounds stung Arthas like needles, and his people fell under the orcs'' butchers one after another.


    "The prince... is Prince Arthas!"


    Someone discovered the existence of Alsace and immediately shouted, "Your Royal Highness, come and rescue us!"


    "Alsace!"


    "Alsace!"


    The chaotic voices gradually merged into one place and turned into a battle cry. They looked forward to the hope of the kingdom''s future to bring light.


    However, the prince they shouted has always hid under the protection of the army.


    "what¡­¡­"


    The howls of humanity will sound from time to time.


    "Alsace! Alsace!"


    His name has become a battle cry.


    Holding the warhammer tightly, Arthas''s heartbeat was accelerating. He knew that he was the hope of everyone, the hope of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and the hope of the Alliance. He couldn''t and couldn''t let people down. He vowed to protect him. Love the people and the country.


    "Darian!"


    The prince''s eyes were no longer timid, and his handsome face gradually filled with determination. He looked at his friend and the captain of the guard, "Remember our vows?"


    "Yes!" Darian Mograine also looked at him firmly, "Yes!"


    Arthas''s head, which had been drooping, slowly lifted, looking straight at the battlefield ahead. He no longer avoided the cruelty and **** of the battle. He looked at his people, the land he loved, and Lordin. Lun Kingdom, and then held the power of Menethil on the right hand high.


    "For Lordaeron!"


    The prince''s voice was firm and firm, he separated the guards, rushed out, and rushed to the battlefield!


    "For Lordaeron!"


    Darian Mograine followed him with elite fighters.


    "For Lordaeron!"


    This slogan quickly spread to every corner of the battlefield, and all humans were shouting, "For Lordaeron!"


    Although the young prince lacks real combat experience, he has great strength and excellent fighting skills. His warhammer is like the death sickle, and every blow can always bring the result he wants.


    The power of the holy light flashed above the power of Menethil, Arthas smashed the orcs¡¯ shields and armor, smashed the blood-splitting weapons of the orcs, unscrewed their dirty heads, and rescued from their killing. Large numbers of humans.


    Most importantly, Arthas boosted the morale of mankind.


    The battle was over, Steinblad was scarred, and the human army wiped out the orcs.


    "Alsace!"


    I don¡¯t know who opened the head, and the name rang across the square, "Alsace! Alsace..."


    Both the civilians and the army support their prince heartily.


    "Very well done, young man!"


    Even Uther and Tirion Fording praised him.


    At this moment, Arthas is the real hero of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. His heart is full of light and love. At the same time, it is inevitable that some young people are proud of him, believing that his powerful light can protect his kingdom And the people.


    The orc attack did not end. A group of orcs who had left earlier kidnapped many residents of Steinblad, and how to rescue them has become a top priority.


    "What about those who were captured by the orcs?" A little boy asked when Arthas went to visit the surviving civilians.


    The young prince lowered his head and said to the child in a gentle and firm tone, "Don''t worry, my child, I will take them home, and the light will guide us."


    In his voice, no noble pride and warrior arrogance can be heard, but only a selfless love for the people. At this time, Arthas was a noble prince who loved his people like a son and was full of passion. He loves his people, loves his motherland, and his heart is as Uther said, only light and love, and he believes in the omnipotence of the Holy Light.


    Uther and Arthas had a disagreement on how to rescue the abducted human inhabitants.


    The old-fashioned Uther thinks that someone should be sent to negotiate first to try to resolve the incident peacefully; Alsace doesn''t think so.


    "Every moment our actions are delayed, their danger will increase by one point. Orcs are dirty beasts without honor and credit, and their promises are not worthy of our trust!"


    "Alsace, your thoughts are dangerous!"


    Tirion Fording reminded, "Race does not represent glory. I have seen the noblest orcs and the most despicable humans."


    There was no consensus between the two sidesUther suppressed Arthas in the name of commander-in-chief, and the arrogant young prince would inevitably think that his mentor was too pedantic and conservative.


    "After all, he is a flower blooming in a greenhouse."


    Seeing this, many viewers will inevitably have such feelings in their hearts. Although the film did not explain clearly, the signs revealed that once Alsace embarked on this rescue path, he would embark on a path to rescue. Extremely dangerous road.


    The environment will affect people, but the road is always his choice. At dawn the next day, Alsace led the guards loyal to him and left Steinblad secretly and embarked on the road to rescue the kidnapped people.


    The faith in the Holy Light gave Alsace enough confidence to rescue the civilians who had been taken away.


    The bright sun was finally covered by dark clouds, and the darkened tone of the film, like Alsace''s road ahead, was full of coldness and despair. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 869： The boiling fire of revenge

    The fierce battle was over, the cursed black land was devastated, and lying black and twisted human corpses, these people obviously experienced great pain, and it seemed that even the souls after death were uneasy.


    Although he personally killed the orc Juggernaut, the rescue operation undoubtedly failed.


    Standing among the many dead, Arthas looked at his hands intricately, the once omnipotent power of the Holy Light, but could not save the lives of these people. He did not fulfill his promise to Steinblad. With unspeakable sense of frustration and guilt, and even some hesitation about the light of faith.


    He can''t forget the hopeful eyes of those people looking at him!


    He can''t forget the promise he made to the little boy!


    He can''t forget that he is the hope of this kingdom!


    However, the corpse on the ground almost shattered his pride and made him realize that his strength is not strong enough!


    "I need stronger power to protect my kingdom and people!" Arthas murmured.


    Young princes make mistakes that most young people make. When they find that things are not in their control, they tend to go to an extreme. At this time, they need to be patiently enlightened by experienced people, especially the methods and methods. important.


    Perhaps Uther is an excellent martial arts and religious mentor, but he is too conservative and obviously does not understand the mentality of young people.


    When he and Tirion Fording arrived in a hurry, what they saw was the slightly confused prince. Faced with Arthas¡¯s burning vengeance and the request to continue to track down the culprit, Uther took out. With the almost rigid dogma of the Knights of the Silver Hand, in the face of the two outstanding paladins, Arthas had no choice but to retreat.


    At this time, everyone can feel the hesitation and dissatisfaction in Alsace''s heart, and the blazing fire of revenge often burns not only the enemy!


    The picture suddenly switched. In the gloomy building, Kel''Thuzad seemed to be performing some kind of ritual. After learning the result he wanted, he received the instruction of the voice that led him to become a necromancer, a large number of cursing the gods. The believers were assembled, and their target was the food dispatch and storage center in the northern kingdom of Lordaeron.


    "Alsace..." A vague and evil voice rang from the gloomy building.


    Uther asked Arthas and Tirion Fording to temporarily stay at Steinblad to rebuild the defenses here, and he returned to the palace of Lordaeron with the news of a mysterious curse. Terenas II responded to this. Unable to do anything, I had to turn to the Kirin Tor Council in Dalaran. Antonidas took this matter very seriously, and sent his proud disciple Jaina to lead a group of wizards to Lordaeron to investigate the incident.


    On the other hand, Arthas and Tirion Fording received a report that an unknown plague began to spread in the north of Steinblad, affecting the stability of the northern border of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and Arthas passed After a period of investigation and analysis, it was believed that there was an inevitable connection between this plague and the previous curse, and Tirion Fording was asked to send troops to investigate, but was flatly rejected.


    The prince who is eager to find out the truth and revenge can be imagined for his dissatisfaction with the rigid Knights of the Silver Hand.


    Fortunately, he didn''t wait too long. Arthas waited for orders from Terenas and the Kirin Tor Council to protect and assist a female mage in investigating the incident.


    "No matter what I do, no matter what I become, I will always care about you, Jaina."


    The mage that Arthas was waiting for was not someone else, but his lover, Jaina Proudmoore, who hadn¡¯t seen each other for more than a year, and both of them had matured a lot in their conversations and exchanges, and their attitude towards love became more rational. He had always cherished the necklace Jaina gave to Arthas, and Jaina had always understood it¡ªperhaps this was the best interpretation of the love between Arthas and her.


    Love is not the theme of the film, but another factor in Alsace''s fall, so most of it ends there.


    In a very short period of time, an unknown terrible plague slowly spread across the land of Lordaeron. Kel''Thuzad also took the opportunity to lead the cursed cult to make waves in the kingdom of Lordaeron. The evil doctrines he spread blinded countless people. People who yearn for happiness and transformed them into natural disaster undead like walking corpses through the terrible plague virus.


    The undead natural disaster not only threatened the stability of Lordaeron''s border, but also shaken the foundation of the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron.


    Arthas was distraught. When he rushed to the Andorhal area with Jaina that night, the events that affected Alsace''s life finally happened. Arthas and Jaina began to study this deadly plague and found that they were affected by this. People affected by the plague became terrible soldiers of the undead.


    This undead army is actually the Scourge.


    What happened made Alsace very shocked and sorrowful. Almost all people became undead walking dead overnight, and the great panic caused by the plague to the people of Lordaeron also made Alsace very distressed.


    A strong sense of responsibility and historical mission made Arthas hate the natural disasters and the undead, and this hatred also turned into a strong desire for revenge in his heart.


    "Desire. Hope can give people the greatest degree of motivation."


    Seeing Alsace killing those real creepy undead monsters on the screen, Kenneth Turan couldn¡¯t help muttering to himself, ¡°When people are pursuing and satisfying their own desires, they will do their best, even Deviate from some of my own life principles."


    Next to him, Todd McCarthy said, "Historically, there are countless people who are unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals. Alsace has such a sign at this time. Under such circumstances, once the fuse appears, it will It is possible to lose yourself."


    The most pressing issue now is to trace the source of the plague. Arthas and Jaina followed the clues left by the cursed cult, all the way to the food transfer center in the northern kingdom of Lordaeron, which was here, affecting Alsace¡¯s Another important thing happened.


    Nearly half of his elite guard and guard Darian Mograine ate the contaminated food and contracted the undead plague, which also enabled Jaina and Arthas to finally find a way to curse the cult to spread the plague.


    However, it was too late. Neither the power of Alsace¡¯s light nor the magic of Jaina were able to relieve the plague¡¯s impact on people. The local garrison and some members of the Prince¡¯s Guard became one after another. The enemy that Arthas vowed to destroy.


    The former comrades died in pain, and slowly stood up to become their own enemies. Companions killed by them will also become enemies. This feeling of wielding a butcher knife to the comrades who were once dependent on life and death will definitely not feel good. !


    "Oh endless holy light, why can''t you have mercy on their souls!"


    The barracks turned into a battlefield. After Alsace purified several undeads, he finally rushed to Darion Mograine. Because of the relationship with the Ashbringer holding the sacred instrument, Darion has not yet turned into an undead, but he has also arrived. On the occasion of dying.


    "hold onto!"


    Supported by more than a dozen people, Arthas threw away the warhammer and hugged Darion on one knee, "Hold on, my brother!"


    "Sorry, Arthas!"


    Darion''s hand was slowly placed on Arthas''s arm, "I can''t fight alongside you!"


    "I will save you!"


    As he spoke, Arthas used several holy light spells one after another, the golden sacred light, which continuously spilled on Darion''s body, as expected, without any effect.


    "Don''t waste your energy, Arthas, keep your strength to fight the undead!"


    Suddenly, the dying Darion Mograine gained a little more strength, and he grabbed Alsace''s arm hard, "I beg you for one thing, Arthas!"


    He looked at his friend sincerely, and after Alsace nodded, he said, "Let me die gloriously as a human, don''t let me become those dirty monsters!"


    "No..." The young prince''s body was shaking.


    "Fulfill me, my brother, this is my last request!"


    If there is a choice, these brave warriors would rather be crushed to pieces than to become the undead of natural disasters. Arthas¡¯s hands were shaking. He didn¡¯t want to see his friends turn into skeletons or zombies. He couldn¡¯t refuse Darion¡¯s request. He also knew that Rian should die gloriously as a human!


    He pulled out the dagger from his waist, and the huge power of holy light was blessed on it. The dagger shining with sacred light approached Darian Mograine''s heart bit by bit.


    "My brother, my friend, my partner..."


    Seeing the relief that appeared in Darion''s eyes, Arthas slowly closed his eyes, and a tear inadvertently slipped from the corner of his eyes, dripping onto the land blacked by the plague.


    "Rest in peace, Darion!"


    Putting down the breathless body in his arms Alsace grabbed the warhammer next to him and stood up suddenly. The young and handsome face was full of revenge anger, and the light of compassion became him. With the killing weapon in his hand, countless undead were purified in the blow of Menethil''s power.


    "This is the Holy Light? It can''t save my people, my comrades-in-arms, my brother, or my kingdom!"


    When the battle ended, Arthas faced the heavy casualties of the guard, further deepening his suspicion of the Holy Light.


    Anyone can tell from his gloomy face that the prince''s faith has been seriously shaken.


    But there was not much time left for Alsace to think and grieve. Jaina quickly found him and reminded him, "The grain in the granary is likely to be contaminated, and the grain has been transferred to Stratholme in the north! "


    The matter was more serious than Alsace had imagined. At this time, the most important thing to do was to chase the food convoy, but before he could gather his troops, the undead of natural disasters flooded towards the food transfer station like a tide. r1152

 Chapter 870： Stratholmes decision before

    The crisp female voice chanted mysterious spells, the dark clouds in the sky began to gather, the howling cold wind passed by, and the goose-feather-like snow fell from the sky. When the snowflakes fell halfway, they condensed into bright and sharp roots. The triangular ice cone, like a meteor falling from the sky, smashed towards the rushing natural disaster undead.


    The cone of ice, sharper than a steel knife, broke the bones of the skeleton, pierced the zombie¡¯s head, penetrated the thick skin of hatred, and tore the outer shell of the crypt demon...


    Hundreds of natural disaster undead fell under Jaina Proudmoore''s blizzard.


    "Cool..."


    There was a round of admiration in the theater, followed by enthusiastic applause. Firstly, the special effects of the blizzard were so admirable, and secondly, this heavy epic film really couldn''t find much to inspire enthusiasm.


    The female mage, who had been throwing fireballs before, showed her great strength at the critical moment.


    After the blizzard, Jaina summoned three powerful water elements one after another, and sent them to the side of Arthas, which was blocking the entrance of the barracks, to assist him in resisting the attack of the undead of natural disasters.


    The Holy Light is the nemesis of the undead. Although it has severely shaken the belief in the Holy Light, at this time, Alsace has a new understanding of power in his mind. He vaguely feels that as long as he can defeat the enemy''s power, that is that he should pursue the power of.


    The undead are boundless and seem to have no end. Although Arthas was full of anger, he did not become a fool. He temporarily withdrew from the battle and found Jaina who was recovering mana.


    "Jaina, you must get out of here."


    He waved his hand to stop what the female mage was about to say, "You have the ability to teleport. Leave here and ask Uther for help. I want to wipe out all these undead."


    Jaina also understood that this was not an emotional matter, and after she told Arthas to pay attention to safety, she teleported and left here. Go to the Knights of the Silver Hand for help.


    This is one of the food distribution centers of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. It is a key defense area. The barracks have complete defensive measures. Arthas led the remaining army to withstand waves of attacks by the undead of natural disasters. After more than half a day In the battle, he found that the fighting power of these undead seemed not as powerful as imagined.


    Now he has no time and space to think. Although the anger that is full of anger has not completely dazzled his head, it has also affected him, otherwise he would be able to see it. The attack of the undead is simply invisible.


    On the high ground in the distance, the former Dalaran and the member of the court mage Kel''Thuzad were standing on it, observing the situation of the barracks and the target.


    "My master, the young lion has entered the trap." He seemed to mutter to himself, and he seemed to say something to the inexplicable existence, "I will bring him into the woven net."


    Kel''Thuzad left the high ground and walked towards the barracks.


    "For Lordaeron!"


    This is Alsace''s obsession, he kept chanting slogans to inspire the morale of his men.


    Repelled another wave of attacks from the undead of natural disasters. Arthas suddenly noticed that a human mage had come to the front, and the other side seemed to be familiar.


    "Kel''Thuzad?" He asked tentatively after identifying it carefully.


    "It''s been a long time, Your Royal Highness." The other party performed a strange mage ceremony.


    "It''s you? Are you planning all this behind your back?" The young prince was furious. Shaking and pointing at Kel''Thuzad with the warhammer, "Also, where''s the grain here? Did you take any action on the grain?"


    "Yes, I have a deadly plague on the food here. The food has been transported to Stratholme." Kel''Thuzad was honest and terrible, "Also, I am not the master behind the scenes..."


    "Who is the lord?" Arthas interrupted him. "where is he?"


    Unexpectedly, Kel''Thuzad actually answered his words, "Dreadlord Merganis, he will be waiting for you in Stratholme."


    "You will pay for your actions!"


    Thinking of the dead Darion Mograine, thinking of the people of Lordaeron who became undead, thinking of the land polluted by the plague, the angry prince could no longer suppress his desire for revenge. Hope, he was the first to rush out In the barracks, more soldiers rushed out with him.


    "Maybe the Holy Light will have mercy on you, but I won''t have pity on you!" Arthas roared.


    A battle was unfolded between Alsace and Kel''Thuzad. The Holy Light was the nemesis of the undead, and Kel''Thuzad had a short time to practice undead spells. It seemed that he was not Alsace¡¯s opponent, and it hardly took much effort. The young prince killed the necromancer.


    Without the control of the Necromancer, the remaining natural disaster undead became more bloodthirsty and violent. In the face of their siege, the warriors around Arthas continued to fall and transformed into new natural disaster undead, and the remaining humans were at risk.


    Thus, a scene that all epic war films would use happened.


    At the very moment, Uther and Jaina led the Knights of the Silver Hand and the elite cavalry troops of the kingdom to arrive in time to wipe out this natural disaster.


    "Jaina, Uther, you are here at the right time."


    As soon as the battle was over, Alsace found the two men, "Now is not the time to rest, we must continue to pursue, and we must not allow the plague-contaminated grain to reach Stratholme."


    Uther rarely rejected Alsace''s opinion, and proposed to temporarily hand over the elite cavalry of the Knights of the Silver Hand to Arthas so that he could pursue the food convoy as soon as possible.


    But Arthas already had a prejudice against the Knights of the Silver Hand. He actually knew that the Knights of the Silver Hand were loyal to the Holy Light first, and then loyal to the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Therefore, as a prince, he enlisted others. The elite troops of, set off first, and agreed with Uther and Jaina to meet under Stratholme.


    The hooves of running horses resounded in the theater, even if they were not book fans and game fans, they knew what was about to happen.


    Irene sat on the seat, her hands crossed together, silent and a little anxious.


    Emil has now let go of all his dissatisfaction with the movie. In his eyes, this is an extremely successful adaptation. What will happen next is a scene that will make him love-hate.


    "The film is deeper than we thought."


    Perhaps it was an occupational disease. Kenneth Turan unconsciously said these words to Todd McCarthy, "Ryan guaranteed the commercial elements of the film, making the film easy to understand; Natalie Portman for the film Brings a rare ideology in Ryan''s commercial films, and Alsace''s mental journey is worth pondering."


    "It''s true." Todd McCarthy nodded in agreement, "Although there are still the most important passages that have not been staged, this film is comparable to the "Lord of the Rings" series."


    Time, nowadays, nothing is more precious than time. Arthas and his army ran wildly, but Kel''Thuzad led the natural disaster undead to stop him for no reason, except to lure him into the big trap of Stratholme, to stop him. He pursued the convoy carrying food.


    After chasing down to Stratholme, Alsace did not catch up with the convoy carrying food. He stationed under the army and sent people into Stratholme to investigate. The bad news soon came. The food was not only transported into Stratholme, Also distributed to the hands of the citizens!


    Hearing the news from the sentinel, Arthas looked at the city in the distance and couldn''t speak. Pain, regret, and anger appeared on his face until finally he turned pale!


    Under the gloomy sky, the prince¡¯s blond hair fluttered with the wind, and the eyes that represented wisdom and aura had lost its brilliance. Even though there was no expression on his pale face, the audience clearly felt his painful inner world...


    He once vowed to protect this land, but now he is powerless.


    "Let''s go, Arthas, get out of here!"


    Perhaps it was Ryan''s gloomy eyes that hurt the sensitive hearts of the audience. Suddenly a young woman''s voice rang in the theater, "Let''s go! Get out of here quickly! Never come to Stratholme!"


    "Go, go quickly!"


    One after another, there were voices sounding again, and the voices became louder and louder, "Let''s go! Leave!"


    The chaotic voice even affected the VIP seats in the front row. Ryan and others unconsciously looked back. This flesh and blood prince obviously moved these audiences. They didn''t want to see him go into the abyss...


    "Will it affect the box office?" Taylor asked worriedly.


    Ryan is also a little worried. He knows the audience¡¯s fragile psychological bottom line. From the perspective of the audience¡¯s emotions, the audience¡¯s reputation is definitely not a problem, but the reputation cannot be completely equated with the box office. The dark ending may affect the audience¡¯s Want to buy tickets. Hope.


    The audience also understands that the film will not be changed according to their wishes. They just want to vent their suppressed emotions, and the mixed voices gradually dissipated...


    "This is the most successful character that Ryan has portrayed in recent years."


    Kenneth Turan was a little bit sighed in his words, "If it wasn''t for the subject matter of the film, I think he could use this role to hit the best actor Oscar again."


    "You should understand." Todd McCarthy shook his head. "His mind is not on Oscar at all."


    The sky became darker and darker, and the light completely disappeared Alsace stood on the high ground in front of Stratholme for a long time without a word. Any decision made at this time was for the young prince. It is difficult, painful and even unbearable.


    But he is the heir of this kingdom. He wants to protect his people and land. He is the hope of the people and the leader of the future. He must make a decision!


    Yes, whether it is identity or character, sense of mission, or vengeance, it is impossible for Alsace to leave.


    "Father, what should I do?"


    The prince no longer asked about the light he once believed in. The light cannot solve Stratholme¡¯s problem. "Tell me, what should I do?"


    No one can answer him, and only he can bear this burden.


    When the messy horse hooves sounded, Arthas turned and left here, no longer going to see Stratholme, he had already made a decision! (To be continued...)

    The dark clouds became thicker and thicker, and the ethereal female voice sang. As Arthas walked towards Uther and Jaina, the tune turned mellow and sad, as if sighing the cruel fate that the young prince was about to face.


    Walking to the high ground where the army was temporarily stationed, Alsace''s confusion and grief disappeared. Instead of determination and determination, he had already chosen the way he wanted to go.


    This is a heavy burden, and it is also a responsibility that the heirs of the kingdom must bear!


    When Arthas walked in front of Uther and Jaina, the soundtrack and chanting disappeared, and the film fell into a terrible silence until Arthas uttered a slightly hoarse word.


    "Food has been distributed to the residents of Stratholme." He looked at his mentor.


    "I know." Uther''s voice was heavy, and he obviously got a report. "We need to handle this incident carefully."


    "cautious?"


    Alsace, who had long been dissatisfied with conservativeness, suddenly raised his tone, "Uther, I am glad you can come, but what we need now is not caution. Time is our enemy now. If we don¡¯t take immediate measures, maybe Without going to night, Stratholme will become a settlement for the undead of natural disasters!"


    "Pay attention to your tone of voice to me, boy."


    As the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand, even Terenas II would not speak to him in this tone. Uther was naturally dissatisfied, "You may be a prince, but I am still your paladin instructor. !"


    "Throw away those stale rules..."


    Before Alsace''s angry words were finished, Jaina took a step forward and pulled him, "Maybe we still have time, Arthas."


    "There is no time! We are too late, and Stratholme''s people are all infected!" Take a deep breath. Arthas temporarily suppressed his excitement, trying to win the support of the two in front of him, "They may look the same now as usual. But it won''t be long before they will be transformed into the minions of the undead!"


    "This plague will spread quickly!" He continued in a painful tone, "You should have seen the terrible plague of the undead. The northern part of Lordaeron and even the entire kingdom will fall as a result!"


    Uther and Jaina were silent. They knew very well that what Arthas said might turn into facts!


    Looking at the two people who were silent, Alsace''s tone was slow and firm. Now that he has no time to hesitate, he said his decision, "Stratholme must be...purified!"


    "What?" Uther naturally understood the meaning of this word, and he said in surprise. "How can you think so?"


    "Arthas!" Jaina looked at Arthas''s gloomy eyes, her inexplicable heartache made her hand holding the iron staff tremble slightly, "There must be... there must be another way."


    "There is no other way, you know, Jaina."


    Looking at the distant city, Arthas slowly closed his eyes, "If there is another way, Darion will not die in front of me!"


    "I¡­¡­"


    Jaina lowered her head, and the broad mage hood covered her head in the shadows, as smart as she could not see that this was a necessary choice. It was also a responsibility that Alsace could not escape.


    What should she do? Follow your lover on a path of no return?


    "You can''t do this!"


    Uther, who had been silent for a long time, also made a decision, "I order you as the chief of the Knights of the Silver Hand!"


    There were waves of lament in the theater, and the next scene. Many people are very familiar with it.


    "He wants to choose to watch!" The Emil has always been cold to these paladins, and said to his companions, "Perhaps watching by the side will show their compassion, compassion and integrity, but they are clearly evading responsibility!"


    Faced with this situation, every choice is difficult.


    But Uther¡¯s words completely angered Arthas, who had been burning with the raging fire of vengeance. He not only wanted to purify Stratholme, but also to kill the dreadlord inside, for Darion and the dead people of Lordaeron. revenge!


    "Put away your rigid dogma, Uther!" He gave up the relationship between the teacher and the apprentice. He took out another identity of himself, "I am in the name of your future king. I command you to purify the city!"


    Paladins have their own pride, and their first allegiance is also to the Holy Light. Uther retorted directly, "Now you are not my king, child! Even if you are me, you will not obey this order!"


    Looking directly at the Lightbringer, Arthas''s gaze was stern, and all past dissatisfaction with the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Holy Light broke out at this moment. He said to his new Chief Guard, "Assemble all the high-ranking officers! "


    "What are you going to do, Arthas?"


    Before Uther had time to object, the order was passed on quickly. In a short period of time, a large number of high-level knights and officers gathered here.


    "Everyone, there are some things you need to know about the undead plague..."


    Briefly talking about the situation and the differences between him and Uther, Arthas said loudly, "In the name of my succession to the throne-I use the power of the next king of Lordaeron to revoke Uther''s command. right!"


    "Alsace! You can''t..."


    Before Jaina finished speaking, Arthas interrupted, "My decision will not change!"


    He looked at the officers, "Time is urgent, those of you who want to save this land, follow me! The rest... can leave with Uther!"


    The officers and the high-level knights split into two camps in an instant. Almost all the people from the Knights of the Silver Hand stood on Uther''s side.


    "You just crossed a dangerous dividing line, Arthas!" Uther warned at last.


    "Then what do you want me to do?" Arthas pointed at Stratholme in the distance, and asked sternly, "I watched the people in Stratholme become undead and spread the plague to the entire Lordaeron? Look at the whole thing. The northern continent is destroyed? Under the protection of the holy light, watching this happen?"


    Uther, who was clumsy at words, couldn''t find any reason, so he could only leave with the Knights of the Silver Hand sadly.


    However, the young prince did not expect that Jaina would follow behind the Silver Hand.


    "Jaina?" Arthas whispered in a soft, gentle and requesting voice, "Jaina..."


    The female mage stopped, turned her head, walked in front of Arthas, and looked up at the tall prince.


    Her mage''s hood slipped to her back, revealing long golden hair, her smooth left hand slowly stroking Arthas''s cheek, and tears filled her dreamy eyes.


    Anyone can see Jaina Proudmoore''s sadness and her choice!


    "Another betrayer!" murmured voices from the audience in the theater.


    The main perspective of this film is on Arthas. While showing that he is walking towards the abyss step by step, it also shows enough sympathy. Especially the person who plays this role is Ryan, and the audience takes Alsace for granted. When Si became the object of substitution, he would naturally consider the problem from his standpoint.


    Gently stroking the lover¡¯s cheek, feeling the firmness brought by the rough beard, Jaina¡¯s dream-like eyes, the tears filled with tears could no longer be restrained, and slowly flowed down the long corners of her eyes...


    "I''m sorry, Arthas, I can''t watch you do this."


    After speaking, the female mage retracted her hand, turned her head firmly, and led the wizards of Dalaran to the distance.


    "Alsace, my beloved, must come back to me!"


    The gust of wind swept the female mage''s robes, leaving only Jaina''s last words in the wind.


    Nothing can stop Alsace¡¯s revenge and save the kingdom of Lordaeron. He summoned one of the most elite troops. "All officers will come to me to register when their squads are ready. When I give orders, , We will enter Stratholme, we must purify all the infected for Lordaeron! Don''t let one escape, otherwise the plague will spread to the entire continent!"


    The army marched towards Stratholme, and Alsace Menethil was at the forefront.


    Many viewers turned their heads and couldn''t bear to watch the next dark scene again. Emil lowered his eyelids slightly and smiled bitterly with his companions. He thought he had known all this through the game a long time ago, but he didn''t expect the film to be so good and good. Sensational, people who know the plot can not bear to keep watching.


    "Why didn''t he choose to leave?"


    From the front row, Sandy, who could only understand dimly, asked Ryan, "Why do you have to do this?"


    "Responsibility!" Ryan stroked her daughter''s blond hair, "This is his country, this is his people, others can watch this happen, but he must take his own responsibility!"


    "It''s like Dad and Mommy have to take care of me..." the little guy asked if he knew it, "Should I love Dad and Mommy like this?"


    "You can say that." Ryan squeezed her nose affectionately.


    Whether it is out of responsibility or love for Lordaeron, or revenge for dead friends and people ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Alsace chose to embark on this path.


    "If you think of Alsace as a superhero."


    Kenneth Turan exchanged views with Todd McCarthy again, "He is a superhero shrouded in sadness and darkness. Although the film does not lack bright colors and tones, there is a deep darkness from beginning to end. breath."


    On the screen, Alsace led the army into Stratholme, and he was not greeted by the undead of natural disasters, but by the enthusiastic people.


    A large number of civilians gathered on both sides of the main street in Stratholme to greet the prince they support!


    "Praise the Holy Light, it is Prince Arthas!"


    "Holy light is on, and the prince comes down to save us!"


    These sickly civilians were almost the same as Darion and others before, and when they heard their voices praising the Holy Light, Arthas couldn''t help whispering, "I was a fool, I actually believed in the Holy Light!" (to be continued) )

 Chapter 872： Angry prince

    Just like treating Darian Mograine, in the face of these infected civilians, Arthas was hesitating, and even some vacillation, but his previous experience ruthlessly told him that purification is the wisest choice.


    "In fact, this is the most reasonable choice."


    Looking at the prince who was still hesitating and struggling, Todd McCarthy was also emotional, "Alsace''s act of massacre is understandable in such an environment."


    "Yeah." Kenneth Turan sighed. "What can I do if I change to someone else? Is it really gone?"


    Just as Alsace stopped in the square near the city gate, one of Stratholme''s consuls walked in front of him.


    "His Royal Highness, many people in the city are suffering from serious diseases, can you help us?"


    At this time, Arthas had abandoned his last mercy, and answered the Archon with a hard warhammer and cold words, "The only thing I can do for you is to give you a clean and quick death!"


    The young prince finally wielded the butcher knife!


    His action was like an order. All the soldiers took action and aimed their weapons at the surrounding civilians. The former prosperous Stratholme instantly turned into hell.


    "What, it''s impossible?"


    The sick civilians couldn''t believe what happened. Some people were still shouting, "Oh, no... the prince is crazy!"


    This is just the beginning!


    In the process of slaughtering civilians, Alsace''s extremely depressed and sad mental state made him completely abandon his belief in the Holy Light, which led to the end of his spirit being on the verge of collapse due to too much pressure in his heart. , And gradually become an avenger who is hungry for all power.


    The massacre didn''t last long, and civilians gradually turned into undead. Although these undead were also transformed by the people of Lordaeron, it is better to slaughter them than to slaughter civilians.


    At this time, none of Alsace''s soldiers noticed Alsace''s change. Although he looks more mad and cold than in the past, he has become more brave and decisive. The soldiers seem to be happy to accept this change of the prince, because it relieves them of the burden on their hearts, as long as they obey the orders. -Especially in such an environment.


    "I''ve been waiting for you here, young prince!"


    Suddenly, a terrifying voice rang from a large group of undead, "I am Merganis!"


    "I am going to kill you!"


    Getting rid of the entanglement of the surrounding undead, Arthas''s warhammer pointed at the Dreadlord from a distance, "I want revenge for the dead!"


    "As you can see¡­¡­"


    Melganis'' voice was full of jokes. "Your people are mine now, and I will transform the undead in this city until the fire of life is extinguished...forever!"


    "I won''t allow this to happen!" Arthas swung his warhammer to smash the rushing skeleton into pieces, and shouted angrily, "Merganis! Even if these people die in my hands, it is better to be enslaved by you after death. To serve you!"


    He led a team to rush towards the direction of Melganis¡¯ voice, but the dreadlord did not fight head-on, allowing a large army of undead to stop Arthas, and he personally led people to transform the natural disaster undead in Stratholme. ...


    Just where Alsace could see, a group of children became ghouls!


    then. Merganis completely disappeared among the layers of buildings, leaving only mocking words.


    I have to say that this very simple strategy is very useful for Alsace today. The furious prince shouted orders behind him, "Merganis will send some of his servants in the Scourge to interfere with our actions. Those of you who have the sharpest weapons and the most powerful spells should go and destroy them for me. They, I will lead the remaining troops to clean up the infected part of Stratholme!"


    Lordaeron''s army was divided into two. In order to prevent more undead from appearing and expanding the Scourge, Arthas and Merganis launched a heinous murderous competition.


    Without Uther''s conservative and dogmatic, without Jaina''s tenderness and consideration. No one can stop Alsace¡¯s intense revenge. Despite his conscience, Alsace implemented his plan. He ordered the soldiers to slaughter the citizens infected with the plague and burn all the buildings in the city. Completely clean!


    Stratholme was caught in a raging flame, and the plague was also purified by the flame!


    Seeing the angry prince burning like a fire on the screen, Irun suddenly felt a bit bitter, a good man who was originally upright, because of love and perseverance, because of the personality defects that everyone has, because of the impulse and lack of experience of young people. , And so came to the point where it was beyond resuscitation.


    As a senior movie fan, in fact, he knew very well that when the plot went to the food transfer center, Alsace had no choice. According to the description of him in the early part of the film, the young prince could not abandon his country and people.


    Jaina Proudmoore is from Dalaran and her hometown is Kul Tiras, so she can naturally sit back and watch what happened in Lordaeron.


    The first allegiance of the Knights of the Silver Hand is the Holy Light. When the incident violates the doctrine of the Holy Light, they will only follow the path of the Holy Light rigidly.


    And what about Alsace?


    As the prince and future master of the kingdom, this is an unavoidable responsibility for him.


    This incident is the darkest scene in all the films he has ever seen!


    "Merganis, I will never let you go!"


    Arthas''s face was hideous and distorted, which fully reflected his heart at the moment. The true transformation of the originally kind and just Prince Lordaeron had begun, and he might have faintly realized that fate did not allow him to be a protection at all. Perhaps he is more suitable to be a warrior who is thirsty for the blood of the enemy and hungry for meat, or even a butcher.


    Similarly, Ryan¡¯s Oscar-winning acting skills show Alsace¡¯s inner world in the pictures carefully edited by Natalie.


    Stratholme''s massacre was a stinger deep in Alsace''s heart. He didn''t dare to face that guilt at all. Although he was definitely not regretful, he was extremely guilty.


    This feeling is very peculiar, like a person who eats the flesh of a dead person to save his life when he is extremely hungry. Although he does not regret it afterwards, the feeling of nausea cannot be eliminated. Perhaps it is this unbearable feeling of guilt that makes Alsa. Sche avenged Melganis for life and death-perhaps he thought it was the only way he could atone for his sins!


    Doing too much will make people numb, and in the subsequent slaughter competition, Arthas has been obviously numb.


    "Merganis, I will never let you go!"


    Perhaps in his opinion, the only way of atonement is to eliminate Merganis. As long as the dreadlord who has committed numerous crimes is killed, then all the faults he committed can be forgiven and understood.


    However, it was not only Stratholme and the undead of the natural disasters that fell under the hammer of Alsace. On this day, part of his integrity and kindness was also dying.


    Any epic film will have a king-to-king decisive battle, and this movie is no exception. Arthas finally found Merganis in front of the Cathedral in Stratholme, and the two staged an ultimate battle!


    The battle did not have too many gorgeous magic effects. Arthas and Merganis were mainly hand-to-hand combat. Their powerful strength almost destroyed half of the church area...


    The young Arthas was obviously not strong enough. Even if he had sacrificed the lives of several high-ranking knights, he could not defeat Merganes. The raging fire of Stratholme spread to the church area, and the Dreadlord seemed unwilling to fight. , He released a powerful magic shock wave, bounced off Arthas and others, and opened the preset portal to Northrend.


    "If you want revenge, come to Northrend to find me!"


    Leaving the last word, Merganis got into the portal, and the portal exploded!


    "I swear I will find you, I will kill you!"


    The angry prince swore to the ruins, "No matter the ends of the world!"


    The film gradually came to an end. Arthas led his troops out of the burning Stratholme. When he left Stratholme behind and swept away, he also abandoned most of his humanity in the ruins and scorched earth. Among.


    The rest is an angry prince who can take revenge on Merganis, the master behind the scenes, at any cost!


    The picture on the screen gradually stretched away, and the burning Stratholme completely disappeared from sight. Under the blurry picture, Arthas was convening a fleet and was about to expedition to the Northrend continent...


    The mellow and sad female voice chanted again, and the subtitles slowly fell-director Natalie Portman, starring Ryan Jenkins...


    The first part of the magical epic series came to an end.


    This is not the Hollywood traditional Dzogchen ending. It is even very depressing and dark, but it does not prevent the audience from giving applause for the first time. The warm applause is as surging as the sea water stirred by Hurricane Katrina. It took five full minutes.


    "father¡­¡­"


    The applause stopped for a while Sandy blinked curiously and asked, "Does this mean that our movie is a success."


    "At least a third succeeded." Ryan said.


    When the applause completely stopped, a large number of people rushed to him to congratulate him. A little distance away, Natalie was surrounded by as many people as this one, and all those who came up were in the industry. People naturally understand that Ryan''s script and performance are important, and Natalie''s director work is equally good.


    Especially in the eyes of those who are full of literary and artistic style, this film is completely free from the simplicity and vulgarity of a Ryan-style commercial film. The dark wind and depth of thought are clearly endowed by Natalie.


    Of course, these are all superficial, Ryan and Natalie will not let the so-called depth replace the commercial atmosphere of the film.


    This is a super masterpiece that went straight to business. (To be continued...)

 Chapter 873： Dark classic

    As the crowd walked out of the Kodak Theater, Emil was stunned. He turned his head and looked at the huge poster hanging high at the main entrance. Prince Arthas raised his warhammer in the burning Stratholme and shouted in anger, preparing to attack his enemies. Revenge, but walked into the abyss of destiny.


    "What are you looking at?" his companion reminded him, "it''s getting late, we should go."


    Up to now, Emil¡¯s dissatisfaction with the film has disappeared. Although the film hardly mentions his beloved tribe, the excitement far exceeds his highest expectations. Even if the final dark ending makes people feel depressed, it will not weaken at all. He believes that this must be the point of view of classic films.


    "Wait a minute."


    Instructing his companion to wait, Emil took out his phone, edited a piece of information, and uploaded it to his Twitter and Facebook.


    "A great work, instead of fighting in a literary film, it is better to raise the level of a commercial film like "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince"! The film not only captures the feeling of classical tragedy, but also borrows the role of Alsace Menethil. , The contradiction between good and evil is mapped vividly. The most important thing is that the movie is so good-looking and impeccable!"


    After sending it out, Emil found that his companion was doing the same thing.


    "For a movie such as "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince", no amount of praise is superfluous!"


    As the night got deeper and quieter in front of the busy Kodak Theater, Kenneth Turan waved goodbye to his old friend Todd McCarthy, got in his car, and ordered the driver to go straight home.


    He opened a small notebook. Although professional film critics have declined, for some reason, he has been contributing to the Los Angeles Times, and watching films is a habit he has developed for decades.


    Frankly speaking, before attending the premiere, he was not optimistic about this film. After all, there are few examples of the real success of a game adaptation film, and director Natalie Portman is the first to direct this type of film, even if she is the first best female director in the history of the Oscars, she also needs Slowly accumulate in commercial films.


    Despite being a professional, Kenneth Turan never thinks that commercial films are simple things, especially commercial films that are heavily invested in large-scale productions, which can turn into disasters with a little carelessness. Making such films is far more cautious and more careful than movies. difficult!


    What he didn''t expect was that the film was unexpectedly wonderful, and Ryan gave his best performance in recent years. Natalie Portman has completed a masterpiece.


    With the help of the records in the notebook, Kenneth Turan recalled the film and wrote down the first draft of the film review to be submitted to the Los Angeles Times after the meeting.


    "If "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince" is the oldest and most ambitious work in its genre, it is by no means an exaggeration. In terms of design conceptualization, script creation, actor performance and director production, it surpasses all Game adaptation of a movie, if measured from the perspective of a magical epic, can even be compared with the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy."


    "This film with Natalie Portman at the helm and Ryan Jenkins is a dark, complicated and disturbing movie. Because it shows the complex side of human nature in front of the audience, and It¡¯s not just to create an image symbol wielding a warhammer. This difference may not make a big difference to those game fans who are looking forward to it. But I can say here-"World of Warcraft: Angry Prince" is The first game-adapted movie that has truly achieved great artistic achievement so far!"


    At the same time, in a car heading for Santa Monica, Todd McCarthy was doing almost the same thing.


    "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince" is no longer limited to game movies. Natalie Portman gave Ryan Jenkins''s Arthas soul and became a fascinating tragedy. It created something we care about Role. This is because of Ryan¡¯s acting and screenwriting, because of Natalie¡¯s directing, because of the ultimate technical quality of the entire production."


    "This is a great, popular and profound commercial masterpiece. It contains too much content in 2 hours and 35 minutes. It is as exciting as a roller coaster ride! At the same time, it is magnificent, disastrous and children Inappropriate, "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince" has raised this kind of vulgar film to a very high level!"


    The long night slowly disappeared, and the rising sun climbed up to the sky to illuminate the Disney headquarters building. Ryan walked into his office and sat in a comfortable boss chair. The first thing he saw was the one placed on the desk. Midnight box office statistics.


    Seeing the numbers above, the corners of his mouth were slightly bent, and it seemed a little better than expected.


    The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Nicole, who was stepping on high heels, walked to the opposite of the desk, pulled the chair away and sat on it, took the coffee cup in front of him directly, and took a big sip.


    She just put down the coffee cup, before she had time to speak, the door of the room was knocked suddenly, Charlize Theron walked in, looked at Nicole for a moment, then smiled at her, and sat on the side of the sofa. Go, I took the phone on the coffee table and dialed the secretary desk.


    "Two cups of coffee, no sugar, thanks!"


    "Why are you here?" Ryan couldn''t help frowning.


    "I invested a lot of money in this film..." Nicole didn''t go to see Charlize Theron at all, and frowned at Ryan. "Of course I have to come and see the latest market reaction."


    "Me too." Charlize continued.


    The knock on the door sounded again, and two young ladies walked in one after another, the secretary with coffee in the front, and Natalie in the back...


    She saw Nicole and Charlize, and she was taken aback.


    "sit down."


    Hearing Ryan''s voice, Natalie squinted at him, walked to the other side of the room, and sat on Charlize''s opposite position.


    The secretary was very clever, and hurriedly fled the office after putting down his coffee.


    "I believe you are here for the same purpose."


    Rubbing his forehead, Ryan didn''t bother to say anything beautiful, so he picked up the statistics and said, "The box office at midnight is OK, slightly better than expected. North America has $18.5 million in the account, and there is no specific overseas. registration."


    After Ryan''s words, it was obvious that the two investors and the other director were relieved. But there was also a slight awkward silence in the office.


    "If you have time."


    Faced with this situation, Ryan had no choice but to suggest, "We can go out together and take a look at Disney''s newly renovated employee entertainment hall."


    "No need!"


    Nicole stood up first, without looking at the people on either side, and walked straight out of the office.


    "I have to prepare for the promotion of the movie." Natalie left without looking back.


    Only Charlize was left. The South African Diamond shrugged to Ryan, covered his mouth and smiled and said, "Sorry, dear. I have to go back to ct headquarters."


    The chuckle of high-heeled shoes disappeared, and calm was restored in the office.


    Beginning today and Friday, "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince" will be released in 94 countries and regions around the world at the same time. In North America, 4,366 theaters opened at the same time, setting a record for the largest release this year.


    The $18.5 million North American midnight box office is not outstanding, and it can¡¯t even be compared with the last two films of "Twilight", but it is very rare for such a game adaptation movie.


    According to Ryan and Disney''s expectations, "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince" can get a $15 million midnight box office even if it is qualified.


    After midnight. Although there have been some **** game fans criticizing the movie for disrespecting the game setting and making a mess of adaptations, this kind of sound is only a few of the few, and the overall audience reputation of the film is excellent. Especially in the afternoon, the latest survey statistics show that the audience of "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince" has been stuck in an overwhelming state of ¡®a+¡¯.


    On the Internet, Ryan Disney Online has a fan rating of 96 points. In imdb, I also received 8.9 points of unanimous praise for the time being...


    From the novels originally published in Vanity Fair to the Blizzard real-time strategy games and online games that were thoroughly developed later, the "Warcraft" series was born for more than fifteen years. Such a long period of time is enough to cultivate a large number of fans. These fans are the basis for the success of the film, but also an obstacle.


    Just like the situation encountered at the beginning of the "Lord of the Rings" series, if the quality of the film is not good enough, under the verbal criticism of a large number of fans, the large investment in the film will only evolve into a total disaster; and the quality of the film is guaranteed, but When it can meet the needs of the vast majority of fans, it will burst out with a strong audience reputation and market response.


    In one day on Friday, "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince" won US$67.16 million from North America, and the box office of the single room was as high as US$15,384!


    This achievement looks nothing more than that after entering the second decade of the 21st century, but don¡¯t forget that there is no high-priced 3d version of the film. Except for the imax version, most of them are ordinary with a price of $7. 2d version!


    By the second day, even though the North American box office had fallen by 29%, it still received 47.65 million U.S. dollars!


    And Sunday¡¯s US$43.59 million pushed the film¡¯s first week of box office in North America to a height of US$158.41 million!


    This is the height that a game-based movie has never reached, and it is also the first week of box office performance in North America that a magical epic movie has never reached!


    Compared with Ryan¡¯s home base in North America, the performance of the film overseas is relatively inferior. The overseas box office in the first week was only a little more than 150 million U.S. dollars, and the combined global box office just exceeded the 300 million U.S. dollar mark However, compared to expectations, this result is enough to satisfy Ryan and Disney.


    In the following time, "World of Warcraft: Angry Prince" still performed strongly in North America, and even won the box office rankings for three consecutive weeks in the summer. The film only took 18 days to reach the global box office. One hundred million U.S. dollars!


    The global screening of this film lasted until Christmas, and it was a huge commercial success. The North American box office ended up at 534.85 million U.S. dollars. The overseas box office was slightly worse, but it also had 469.7 million U.S. dollars. Earnings, the global box office totaled up to US$1.04 billion.


    This box office performance is irrelevant to Ryan, but it has created a series of records.


    This is the highest-grossing fantasy epic film in North America, and the highest-grossing game-adapted film in North America and the world. It is also the first time that a single work directed by a female director surpassed US$500 million in North America and more than US$1 billion worldwide! (To be continued...)

 Chapter 874： last of the last

    "father¡­¡­"


    Looking at the magic sword last, Arthas''s gaze was on the soul that was gradually condensing and forming, that was the soul of his father who had been trapped in the sword, "everything... is it all over?"


    "It''s over, my son." Terenas slowly squatted down and took his son''s cold hand. "The kingship has no eternity..."


    "father!"


    A crisp and familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears. Ryan in his sleep shook his head quickly and opened his eyes vigorously. In front of him was Sandy¡¯s cute face, "Dad, you big slacker, we all After breakfast, Mommy wants you to get up quickly."


    "I slept for so long?"


    Looking at the time, Ryan couldn''t help rubbing his forehead. The third part of the Warcraft series, "The Fall of the Lich King," had just been released from the theater, and his head was full of Arthas, even dreaming.


    "It''s nine o''clock in the morning soon!"


    Sandy, who was almost ten years old, curled his lips, "I''m waiting for you at the door, don''t let me call you a second time, Dad!"


    After speaking, she turned and walked out the door, leaving Ryan only with a golden curly ponytail on the back of his head.


    After walking into the bathroom and washing briefly, Ryan pushed open the bedroom door. Sandy was leaning against the wall in the doorway, playing with the latest iPhone, when he saw Ryan quickly put it away.


    "Is there anything I can''t let me see?" Ryan walked downstairs first, and Sandy followed. "Dad, what you said, I have the right to *."


    Ryan turned around alertly, "Did you make a boyfriend?"


    "No, I''m chatting with Lily and Apple."


    Down the stairs, Sandy got past him and trot into the dining room.


    Shaking his head, Ryan followed Sandy. He bypassed the side where Nicole and Taylor were sitting, walked straight to the opposite side of them, and sat beside Sandy.


    "a cup of coffee¡­¡­"


    Seeing Taylor stand up actively. Ryan pointed to the cup in front of him unceremoniously, and waited for the big girl to roll her eyes and fill it up. He picked it up and took a sip and said, "Thank you!"


    "We have all eaten."


    Seeing that the servant brought breakfast, Taylor reminded him, "You are the only one left."


    "You kept Mommy waiting for a long time," Sandy pouted, and pointed to Ryan under the dining table, pointing to Nicole who had been reading the magazine on the opposite side, "Dad. You should say sorry..."


    "Well, I''m sorry..." Ryan said cooperatively.


    Strictly speaking, his father loves Sandy more, but no matter how harsh Nicole treats her, the little guy''s heart is still biased towards his mother, and as she grows young, she seems to realize that her family is a bit strange, sometimes watching The look at him is always weird.


    Even Ryan felt that Sandy knew exactly what the problem was, but didn''t say anything.


    Probably he has become an extremely unqualified father in the eyes of an adult daughter, right?


    A little sighed. Ryan picked up the knife and fork and cut the bacon omelet on the plate into small pieces, when Sandy suddenly poked his head. He deliberately lowered his voice.


    "Dad..." she said mysteriously, "Mommy has been angry all the time."


    "Sanny..."


    How could it be possible to hide from Nicole at such a close distance. Hearing the sound of her mother''s lengthening, Sandy hurriedly stuck out his tongue and sat back in his position.


    This little guy was clearly on purpose.


    In addition to lamenting her daughter''s cleverness and mischief, Ryan was also reluctant to say anything harsh.


    "The first female director in history with a cumulative gross of more than four billion US dollars!"


    After snorting twice, Nicole closed the magazine, which was clearly the latest Time Magazine. The cover character is Natalie, "Oh. Forget it, still the only woman who has won an Oscar for best director! The media..."


    Nicole turned cold. "The media can''t wait to lift her to the sky."


    Ryan will not pick up this kind of problem that is easy to ignite the flames, nor will he pick it up as smart as Tyler and Sandy. Both of them are like Ryan, lowering their heads to deal with the drinks in their respective cups.


    The only difference is that Sandy''s beautiful blue eyes are always sneaking around on Ryan''s face, seeming to laugh at his father.


    "father¡­¡­"


    Probably seeing Ryan paying attention to herself, Sandy turned her head slightly and delivered a message in a silent mouth, "I will help you!"


    With a sigh in his heart, Ryan''s gaze retracted, and while refocusing his energy on breakfast, his thoughts gradually shifted to the Warcraft Trilogy that had come to an end temporarily.


    That¡¯s right, just like "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince", the last two episodes also achieved great success. The third episode "The Fall of the Lich King" ended its global screenings at the beginning of the month. With a box office of more than $1.3785 million, it was also nominated for several important awards such as best picture and best director at the Oscar that just ended in 2016.


    Although Oscar''s consistent discrimination did not create miracles, it also proved the extraordinary achievements of this series.


    As the first stage of the trilogy, the series¡¯ global gross box office totaled US$3.815.8 million. Together with the previously directed films, Natalie surpassed Sophia Coppola and became the world¡¯s first entry. The female director of the $4 billion club.


    She has an Oscar for best director halo bonus, with such commercial achievements, coupled with an authentic Jewish identity, it is conceivable how most mainstream media will evaluate her.


    Ryan¡¯s busy schedule during this period is also related to this. The Warcraft Trilogy is not only based on a good box office, but also related products such as DVDs, toy models and so on. It has also created nearly 4 billion US dollars in revenue for Disney. Blizzard The entertainment side is also driven by this. In recent years, the performance and stock price have been rising rapidly. Last year, it launched a game based on characters appearing in movies-Heroes of the Storm!


    For such a successful film, the next step is not just as simple as developing a sequel. Disney wants to derive more products from this huge and complex series. A studio composed of elites was established a few years ago with a very clear goal. , That is, in a period of time in the future, the "Warcraft" series will be made into a continuous and serialized work just like a Marvel superhero movie.


    A new extended series is already in the planning, initially it is to make a prequel, telling the stories of Anduin Lothar, Khadgar, Ryan Wrynn, Medivh and others.


    without any exaggeration. The success of the Warcraft trilogy will bring Disney a huge gold mine like a superhero movie.


    With the intensive footsteps ringing outside the restaurant, Apple Martin and Lily Moxin walked in one after another.


    "Hello. Godfather. Hello, godmother."


    The two girls beckoned to Taylor again. Going here to pull Sandy up, "Hurry up, the time we arranged is coming, Sonny, you can''t always be late every time!"


    "Sonny, Lily, and Epple..."


    Ryan also cast a curious look when he saw Nicole, "What are you going to do?"


    "That..." Sandy''s eyes just rolled around. I found my mother''s staring gaze, and had no choice but to honestly say, "We have an appointment with John and we will go to North Hollywood to see Aleph together."


    At this point, she couldn''t help sticking out her tongue.


    Nicole looked a little ugly, but didn''t stop, waved her hand and motioned Sandy and the others to be casual.


    After breakfast, Ryan sent Sandy and the others outside the villa, and Nicole went straight back to the study room upstairs. It doesn''t seem to be too happy.


    "Mommy is angry again."


    Following Ryan''s side, looking at the other two girls who were walking with Tyler and talking happily, Sandy lowered his voice. "It''s all to blame, Dad!"


    "Blame me?" Ryan tilted his head and looked at his daughter.


    "Is it wrong?" Sandy blinked innocently. "John is the godmother''s adopted son. What about Aleph? Dad, why is Aunt Natalie''s son my younger brother? Where did he come from, don''t tell. I jumped out of a crack in the rock, I am not a three-year-old kid!"


    "My dear, you''ve grown up..." Ryan couldn''t help rubbing her little head, "Let''s do it. When you come back tonight, we will have a good talk."


    "Just us! One to one! A conversation between father and daughter!"


    Seeing Sandy looking serious. Ryan nodded vigorously, and her daughter will grow up someday.


    The black caravan was already waiting in front of the villa. When the bodyguard opened the door, Lily and Apple got in first. Sandy waved to Ryan and Taylor and got into the car.


    "So what did Sonny mention to make things difficult for you?"


    The car traveled farther and farther, and finally disappeared in the shade of the manor. Taylor looked back, "It''s hardest for children of this age to deal with."


    "Don''t worry, I have enough experience."


    Glancing at her, Ryan turned and walked towards the villa, "I used to deal with a little girl who was more difficult than Sandy."


    "ok I admit it¡­¡­"


    After catching up from behind, Tyler took Ryan''s arm, "I was a little too active and curious at the time."


    Seeing Ryan put on an expression that was too lazy to take care of her, Taylor simply changed the subject, "When I went to North Hollywood the day before yesterday, I saw Charlie take John to visit Nat and Aleph..."


    "They?" Ryan frowned.


    John is the adopted child of Charlize, the age is similar to Sandy, after he and Natalie''s son Aleph were born, the South African diamond who was afraid of having a child simply adopted one.


    "She is going to send John..." Taylor smiled slyly, "My brother, it is obvious that although they don''t agree with each other, I don''t want Sandy and them to do the same."


    Then, Tyler went upstairs to greet Nicole, then pulled Ryan to the garage when he got down.


    "We should also set off Don''t forget, Ryan, you promised me to go see the wedding dress together!"


    "This should be Scarlett''s job?"


    Although he said so, Ryan walked into the garage with Tyler, "Have you chosen the location of the wedding?"


    "Lanai..." Taylor stood in front of the car door, "Scarlet agreed to hold it there."


    "Well, my dear, I will give you a big wedding gift..."


    Accompanied by the sound of the car''s motor, the two voices moved further and further away.


    "How old is it?"


    "How about Blizzard?"


    "..."
